If you've noticed the men in your life repeating talking points from Andrew Tate or Joe Rogan, you're likely seeing the real-world impact of the ‘manosphere’. Research suggests these digital echo chambers are doing genuine damage to the lives of boys and men, but how do we combat an algorithm? Today, we are joined by Australia’s first-ever Special Envoy for Men’s Health, Dan Repacholi. The Labor MP and five-time Olympian is heading off on a national listening tour to tackle the crisis in men’s mental health, respect, and the rising tide of online misogyny. We investigate what it actually takes for men to stay well and why the solution has to start with men talking to men.

Macca and Paul are joined live in the studio by Nina Taylor, Labor MP, Albert Park as they discuss the new  Ministerial reshuffle, including a new Minister for Boys & Men; 21-day police  blitz in Sth Mel, St Kilda and Prahran; Allen Gov’s resistance to animal welfare reform Nina was elected to the Legislative Assembly in November 2022, and is the Parliamentary Secretary for Education. She previously served as a member of the Legislative Council from 2018-22, where she held the role of Government Whip. Before entering Parliament, Nina was a member of the Glen Eira City Council. She had previously worked for the Community and Public Sector Union, completed articles in law at a corporate law firm, and volunteered at the Women's Legal Service. Her first jobs were as a schoolteacher and in long-term disease management portfolios in the pharmaceutical industry. She is also multi-lingual with proficiency in French and German. Nina's vision for Victoria's future is that it is an accessible, compassionate, sustainable, and educated state. She wants us to have advanced multi-modal options, clean and affordable energy, safe and climate-sensitive shelter for all, and equitable access to educational pathways.

This week, we unpack ASIO's new secret detention powers that let them jail you without a warrant, without telling anyone, and without you being able to say a word about it. Both major parties waved it through while punters were distracted by $3 diesel. We break down how the Attorney General can now rubber stamp interrogations, why kids as young as 14 can be nabbed off the street, and how Albo went from quoting Nazi speeches against these laws in 2003 to passing even worse versions today. Japan Demands Free Gas & The Gas Bludger War Escalates The Japanese ambassador rocked up to Canberra demanding we keep handing over gas royalties for free because they hate surprises. We've got a surprise for them. The gas lobby is now running full page newspaper ads trying to convince punters that beer tax is higher than gas tax by stacking multiple tax categories into one number. We fight back with punter propaganda, break down their dodgy maths, and explain why every punter needs to be all hands on deck as the May budget approaches and Labor considers a windfall profits tax. Nanny State Alert: E-Bike Crackdown Explained We sound the nanny state alarm as Queensland and New South Wales introduce roadside dyno testing for e-bikes, lower legal power limits to 200 watts, introduce licensing requirements, crush powers for illegal bikes, and footpath speed limits of 10 kilometres an hour. We sit down with Patrick from Streets and Scars of City Past to break down why this is classic Karen overreach, how Europe handles e-bikes with tiered licensing that actually works, and why Australian politicians would rather ban alternatives than build cycling infrastructure. Pauline Hanson's Private Jet Defense & The Sticky Bandits Strike Again Pauline Hanson gets grilled over undeclared flights on Gina Rinehart's private jet and pulls off a solid pub crawl defense, stumbling from no cost to the taxpayer to name dropping Anika Wells while Barnaby Joyce swoops in for the alley oop. We score the maneuver, break down the propaganda tactics, and celebrate the return of the sticky bandits who've been slapping punter stickers on Liberal and Labor MP signs across the country.

Kenny and Macca are joined live in the studio by Nina Taylor, Labor MP, Albert Park. Bill protecting intersex children from unnecessary medical, interventions that has just been passed by the Vic lower house The Victorian Government's Bill protecting intersex children from unnecessary and irreversible medical procedures without their consent has passed in the lower house. Intersex people are born with innate variations of sex characteristics that don't fit medical norms for female or male bodies. As the intersex community has grown more visible, we have learned how common unnecessary and irreversible surgeries are to individuals, particularly those who are too young to consent. It is believed that about 1.7 per cent of the population is born with an intersex trait. There are at least 40 known intersex variations. In October 2021, the Australian Human Rights Commission urged all Australian governments to implement measures that prevent harmful medical interventions on intersex people without personal consent.   In August 2025, the Australian Medical Association passed a motion calling for a deferral of surgical interventions for intersex people until they can give consent. The Health Safeguards for People Born with Variations in Sex Characteristics Bill 2025 passed the lower house without opposition on Thursday. The Bill prohibits deferrable medical interventions until a child can decide for themselves that they want that, introducing independent oversight of proposed treatment plans. The passing of the bill reflects decades of tireless advocacy by intersex people and community organisations, building on similar protections introduced in the ACT in 2023. https://qnews.com.au/intersex-reform-for-childrens-medical-interventions-passes-vic-lower-house/ The post Sat, 14th, Feb, 2026: Nina Taylor, Labor MP, Albert Park, Intersex Medical Intervention Reform for Children Passes Vic Lower House appeared first on Saturday Magazine.

This week, Konrad recaps the TikTok Awards, Konrad's admits his addication to social media platforms to make and bring on two politicians from different parties who actually agree on something: Australia's getting absolutely ripped off on gas. Politician Ed Husic (Labor backbencher and former minister) goes full punter mode calling out Japan for reselling our gas and making a billion dollars in profit, independent politician Nicolette Boele breaks down why three-year election cycles kill long-term planning, and we test both politicians' ability to redirect awkward Christmas dinner conversations away from politics using only their parliamentary maneuvering skills. Topics we spend no time on: Pauline Hanson's Burqa stunt and lunch with Barnaby, and Albo ties the knot at the Lodge while regular punters have to pay thousands for a wedding venue.

It's been six months since the May election, which brought new personalities to Parliament House – along with an even larger majority for the Albanese government. Labor MP Renee Coffey, who beat the Greens housing spokesperson Max Chandler-Mather, and Liberal MP Leon Rebello, a former staffer and parliamentary attendant, join political editor Tom McIlroy to discuss the start to their first terms. In this bipartisan conversation, the two Queenslanders also talk about the Coalition's net zero debate this week and Labor's fight to pass new environment laws before Christmas

Bella talks about the Albanese government's new, yet still very weak, 2035 climate goals and why youth participation is so important in climate activism with guest Ivy Sheng, from the Australian Youth Climate Coalition. Recently, the Albanese government introduced their 2035 climate goals, which is a plan to reduce carbon emissions by 65-75% produced during 2005, as part of the bigger plan for net 0 by 2050. The decision has been marked as an incredible and historic decision made by Australia's government compared to the 43% 2005 decrease set previously. However, once we start to look a little closer at the numbers, it's easy to see this decrease won't be nearly enough to stay below 2°C and is below the bare minimum to care for our climate.As a result, many grassroots organisations such as the AYCC, the Nilumbuk Climate Action Team, Extinction Rebellion and many more, held nationwide snap protests outside of Labor MP's offices demanding action for a greater change. We here speeches from Ivy Sheng from AYCC, Mitsy from the Nilumbuk Climate Action Team and a third speaker (Apologies name is unknown, please feel free to let the station know and I will give proper credit!), as well as a performance by the Climate Choir outside of MP Sarah Witty's office in Fitzroy, Melbourne.Additionally, Bella chats to guest speaker Ivy Sheng from AYCC about why youth involvement is super important in the climate action movement.

The Labor government continues to provide economic, diplomatic and military support to Israel's genocide in Gaza and now Iran. We know that they signed a $917 million dollar deal with Israeli weapons company Elbit systems early last year. We know that the Heat Treatment Australia facility in Campbellfield provides crucial treatment for components of F-35 Joint Strike fighters.  Now, more than ever, we need to put pressure on our own politicians to end all military exports to Israel and cut all diplomatic and economic ties. In Melbourne's inner city local municipality of Merri-bek, a group of committed Free Palestine activists organised a rally against sitting Labor MP, Peter Khalil, who was recently been promoted as Assistant Minister for Defence. The rally took place on the cold winter's night of Friday June 13th and today's episode of Accent of Women brings you some speeches from that rally. The Rally chair is Bella Beiraghi of students for Palestine and the first speaker is Samantha Ratnam from the Australian Greens who challenged Peter Khalil in the once safe Labor seat of Wills, turning it into one of the most marginal seats in the state of Victoria.

Conversation with MP Josh Burns, Labor candidate for the Victorian seat of Macnamara, about his record and his vision for a safe, inclusive future for Jewish Australians.

Josh Burns was the youngest member of the Labor caucus when he was elected to parliament in 2019, but he faces tough opposition on both sides to retain the pivotal seat of Macnamara at the upcoming election. Situated in Melbourne, Macnamara is one of the most diverse seats in the nation, home to a wide range of cultures, communities and ethnicities. At the last election, Burns defeated both the Liberals and the Greens by just 2% of the vote, and it could be an even closer finish this time. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week saw a Labor MP's office vandalized in Victoria in protest of the party's inaction surrounding the war in Gaza. The protest has sparked outrage from current and former members of government, who say aggressive protest action is taking things too far.

Or is loud and aggressive protest the only way to get wider Australian society to pay attention to major issues surrounding the environment, climate and human rights?

Amid the cost-of-living crisis, a growing chorus of Labor MPs are calling for the government to raise the rate of jobseeker – currently sitting at $50 a day. South-west Sydney MP, Michael Freelander, says people on the payment are ‘struggling to cope with even the most basics of life in a modern society'. Freelander speaks to Laura Murphy-Oates about the groundswell of support within Labor for raising the rate and why he believes change will occur within the year
