It's often said the 2020s will be a ‘defining decade' for the planet and action on the climate crisis. Starting this week, the proposal to extend Woodside gas's processing plant in Western Australia's remote north-west by 40 years awaits the new environment minister, Murray Watt – the first of many consequential decisions facing him during Labor's second term in government. Labor has secured a massive majority, with the possibility of another six years on the government benches. So what are the party's plans for the climate and environmental reforms? Nour Haydar speaks with Adam Morton about why there will never be a better chance for Labor to deliver on climate

This week, the Liberal party elected its first female leader in Sussan Ley, but she's already fighting to keep the factional sharks at bay. Same goes for the Nationals, who've re-elected David Littleproud in a leadership challenge that revealed deep divisions. The Greens also elected a new leader on Thursday, but will that mean a change in strategy after their stinging election loss?Reged Ahmad talks to head of newsroom Mike Ticher, national news editor Jo Tovey and chief political correspondent Tom McIlroy about whether changes in leadership could mean a change in our politics

When Anthony Albanese’s new ministry was sworn in this week, it was overshadowed by the axing of Ed Husic and Mark Dreyfus. Husic in particular didn’t go quietly, calling Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles a “factional assassin”. After a landslide victory – with 93 seats and counting – the prime minister could choose from a significant talent pool to assemble the ministry. But the process was limited by longstanding factional rules. Today, special correspondent for The Saturday Paper, Jason Koutsoukis, on whether factions help or hurt the Labor Party – and who won out.

In this episode of The Five Minute Advocate, Julie Macken unpacks the aftermath of the election. Labor may have won big on paper — 92 seats — but Julie asks: what does that win really mean? As the second phase kicks off, it’s no longer about votes — it’s about narrative. Julie dives into how the Albanese government is framing their victory, from pinning part of their success as vindication for their moderate stance on Gaza to Ed Husic’s quiet political exile, Julie challenges listeners to stay alert to the stories politicians tell — and the ones they silence.

Demoted cabinet minister Ed Husic has criticised the Labor Party leadership, as the frontbench of the re-elected government is finalised. Mr Husic claims his stance on Gaza and Labor's factional competition contributed to his departure. Meanwhile, the Liberals leadership contest is also underway after a historic loss in the election. - अस्ट्रेलियाको लेबर पार्टीले मन्त्रीपरिषदमा केही फेरबदल सहित पूर्णता दिइरहेको छ। त्यस्तै मन्त्रीपरिषदबाट हटाइएका मन्त्री एड ह्युसेकले लेबरको नेतृत्वको आलोचना गरेका छन्। ह्युसेकले गाजाबारे आफ्नो स्पष्ट धारणा र लेबरभित्रको गुटीय प्रतिस्पर्धाका कारण आफ्नो पद गुमाउनु परेको दाबी गरेका छन्। त्यस्तै इतिहासमै पहिलो पटक सङ्घीय विपक्षी नेताको चुनावमा ठुलो हारपछि लिबरल पार्टीमा नेतृत्वको प्रतिस्पर्धा चलिरहेको छ।

It has been revealed that Stafford MP, Jimmy Sullivan, has been expelled from the Labor Party. 9News State Political Reporter, Tim Arvier told Gary Hardgrave on 4BC Drive, "The Labor Party was supporting him previously." "Now their patience has run out, and I'm told it's all to do with Jimmy returning to work and the fact that he hasn't been following the protocols that were put in place for when he returned to work." "So the Labor Party has decided to cut him loose. And when that happens, your political career doesn't look too good," Arvier continued. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Barrie Cassidy and Tony Barry examine the messy fallout of the election and give their predictions on the two very different – and potentially nasty – leadership battles ahead for the Liberals and the Greens. Also in this episode: how Labor's factions will settle who gets into cabinet, what now for the Coalition's nuclear policy and whether the government will now pursue a more aggressive policy agenda

It's certainly been a big week in Australia—with the Labor Party securing another term in government following the federal election, there's plenty of speculation about what that might mean for our economy, interest rates, and of course, the property markets. So today, before we dive into the latest data and trends, I unpack what this election result could mean for property investors, homebuyers, and renters across the country, and what the likely implications are for inflation, interest rates, and affordability? And to help make sense of it all, I'm joined by, Dr. Andrew Wilson Chief Economist at My Housing Market. We'll also discuss the latest inflation numbers, which are finally within the RBA's target range. But will that be enough to prompt a rate cut anytime soon? As well as what's happening in the rental markets, which eased slightly in April—but are tipped to tighten again in May. So if you're looking for the data behind the headlines—and what it all means for your property decisions, this is going to be a jam-packed episode for you.     Takeaways  ·         The Labor Party's election win will worsen the housing crisis. ·         The government's policies are primarily demand-side solutions without addressing supply issues. ·         First home buyer incentives will lead to higher property prices. ·         Inflation and interest rates are both falling. ·         The construction industry faces significant challenges in meeting housing demand. ·         Immigration policies will further strain the already undersupplied housing market. ·         Strategic investment in property is essential for long-term success. ·         The current market presents a window of opportunity for investors. ·         The rental market is experiencing increased vacancy rates due to seasonal factors. ·         Auction clearance rates indicate a potential recovery in the Melbourne housing market.     Chapters  02:16 Election Results and Housing Crisis Overview 05:04 Labor's Housing Policies: Good Intentions, Poor Outcomes 07:54 Immigration and Housing Demand: A Growing Concern 11:12 Supply-Side Solutions: Insufficient and Slow 13:59 The Two-Speed Housing Market: Implications for Buyers 16:51 Opportunities for Investors in a Changing Market 20:13 Introduction to Real Estate Investment 20:14 Understanding Market Trends and Analysis 23:00 Inflation, Housing Market and Oil Prices 28:20 Rental Markets Situation 32:20 Auction Results Analysis   Links and Resources: Michael Yardney Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan Click here and have a chat with us Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at www.PodcastBonus.com.au Also, please subscribe to my other podcast, Demographics Decoded with Simon Kuestenmacher – just look for Demographics Decoded wherever you are listening to this podcast and subscribe so each week we can unveil the trends shaping your future.

Trump's latest meltdown hits new authoritarian lows—and the week is just getting started. On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, we break down the madness: Trump's so-called “economic plan” includes rationing dolls for little girls, jacking up prices, and telling working families to “shut up.” He floated imaginary trade deals, demanded tariffs on Hollywood movies, posted a bizarre AI image of himself as the Pope, and called for reopening Alcatraz. Oh, and he partied with the Proud Boys at Mar-a-Lago, questioned if he has to uphold the Constitution, and proposed gutting 20% of four-star generals. Meanwhile, a huge pro-democracy win in Australia where the Labor Party crushed it—ALBOWS UP, mates. Buckle up—Ben, Brett and Jordy discuss it all.

It's Tuesday, May 6th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By  Kevin Swanson Chinese Communists intensifying regulation of churches Christian Daily Korea reports that communist China intensified its regulation of Christian churches effective May 1st. The additional regulations will place controls on missions, Christian education, fundraising, and religious activities over the internet. Specifically, many South Korean missionaries have already been expelled or denied visas under China's increasingly aggressive crackdown since 2017.  South Korean election coming up The South Korean election is planned for June 3rd. A professing Christian, former Prime Minister Han Duck-Soo, is running as an independent in the race. His wife, Choi Ah-young, is a fourth generation Christian. Her father is an elder. And her great grandfather founded a number of churches during the Japanese colonial period of the 1920s and 1930s.  Han's entry heats up the scramble among conservatives to unify behind a candidate to compete with liberal front-runner Lee Jae-myung, whose campaign recently was set back by a court decision to open a new trial on election law violation charges, reports ABC News. 106,745 Russian soldiers and 60,000 Ukrainian soldiers have died Since the start of the Russian-Ukrainian War, 106,745 Russian soldiers have been killed.  The last year was the most deadly, with a reported loss of 45,287 Russian lives. Ukrainian casualty numbers vary widely — with as many as 13,000 civilians and 60,000 soldiers counted among the dead. Australia lurches left like Canada Following the Canadian election which tipped towards the anti-God, secular humanist, progressive side, Australia did the same thing over the weekend. The liberal Labor Party has secured at least 86 seats in parliament, up from 77 in its last go around.   Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is set for his second three-year term in power.  Muslims have six kids on average compared to low fertility of others The global birth rate is crossing the 2.2 children-per-woman mark, crossing over the replacement level of 2.1.That's down from 5.3 children per woman in 1963 worldwide. World Bank data points to the Muslim-heavy nations of Somalia, Chad, Niger, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo with the highest fertility rates exceeding six children per woman. Countries with the lowest birth rates below 1.0 child per woman include South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Chile, and Puerto Rico. Eastern Europe is seeing the steepest declines in birth rates. Deuteronomy 28:15-18 reminds us of God's dealings with nations: “But if you will not obey the voice of the Lord your God or be careful to do all His commandments and His statutes that I command you today, then all these curses shall come upon you and overtake you. Cursed shall you be in the field.  Cursed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. Cursed shall be the fruit of your womb.” Oil becoming less expensive World oil prices have sunk to $57 per barrel — about the same price as it was in 1987. The average gas price in the United States is $3.26 per gallon, down from $3.76 per gallon last summer. Disney pushes homosexual scene in “Star Wars Andor” Disney has incorporated a prominent homosexual scene in its latest episode of Star Wars Andor. This marks another milestone in the ongoing homosexualization of Disney, with the scene marking the first prominent display of homosexuality for featured characters. Disney has increased its revenues to $91 billion per year, and has registered another 5% increase in its first quarter in 2025.  Overall revenues for the entertainment company are up about 20% since the pro-homosexual organization entered into a conflict with Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis.   Levi Strauss and Disney were the first companies to provide benefits to homosexual employees between 1992 and 1995. Conservative Presbyterians growing and Liberal Presbyterians fading The Presbyterian Church in America, the largest conservative Calvinist denomination in the United States, is registering its highest number of members in its 51-year history — topping 400,700 this year. Offerings were up 7.4%, year-over-year, according to stats just released by the denomination. Another conservative denomination, the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, registers 33,520 members, growing at a rate of 3% per year. Meanwhile, the more liberal PCUSA church membership has dropped off from 3.1 million to 1.1 million over the last 40 years. Warren Buffet gave $8.4 billion to fund abortion And finally, Warren Buffett has announced his retirement from Berkshire Hathaway, as Chief Executive, effective January 1st. The 94-year-old Buffett is currently listed as the sixth richest man in the world behind Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Larry Ellison, and Bernard Arnault of France.    Buffett's foundations have provided $8.4 billion to pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood and the National Abortion Federation. Plus, Buffett was a major supporter of the “RU-486” abortion kill pill. Forbes reports that other major pro-abortion billionaire donors include: Mackenzie Scott (Amazon's Jeff Bezos's ex-wife), the Bill Gates Foundation, the Hewlett Family, Michael Bloomberg, and George Soros. But now, take comfort in these words from Isaiah 49: 24-26. The prophet asks, “Can the prey be taken from the mighty or the captives of a tyrant be rescued? For thus says the Lord: ‘Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken, and the prey of the tyrant be rescued, for I will contend with those who contend with you, and I will save your children. I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh, and they shall be drunk with their own blood as with wine. Then all flesh shall know that I am the Lord your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.'” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, May 6th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe for free by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Less than a week after the Liberals came from behind to win in Canada, Australia's governing Labor Party has won the election there. Is the Trump effect in play once more? Also in the programme: Israel ramps up airstrikes on Syria, claiming to be defending the Druze minority; Poland boosts its defences in the face of the Russian threat; and we hear from an author shortlisted for the International Booker Prize – whose novel's main character is based on her late sister.(IMAGE: Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese celebrates at a Labor party election night event, after local media projected the Labor Party's victory, on the day of the Australian federal election, in Sydney, Australia, May 3, 2025 / CREDIT: REUTERS/Hollie Adams TPX IMAGES OF THE DAY)

Over a few hours on Saturday night, Australia saw the ALP achieve a historic victory as the Coalition sank to a comprehensive defeat. Lenore Taylor and Mike Ticher join Reged Ahmad to dissect what this means

Anthony Albanese's Labor Party has swept aside Peter Dutton's Coalition in an electoral victory that has redrawn Australia's political map.

Australia's opposition party withdrew election promises to prevent public servants from working from home and to slash more than one in five federal public sector jobs. Opposition leader Peter Dutton announced his conservative Liberal Party had dropped its pledge that public servants would be required to work in their offices five days a week except in exceptional circumstances. “I think we made a mistake in relation to this policy,” Dutton told Nine Network television. “I think it's important that we say that and recognize it and our intention was to make sure that where taxpayers are working hard and their money is being spent to pay wages that it's being spent efficiently." The opposition also withdrew a promise to use forced redundancy payments to slash 41,000 jobs from the 185,000 positions in the Australian Public Service. The reductions would instead be achieved through natural attrition and an employment freeze, he said. Dutton's announcements were the first significant policy shifts since Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called the May 3 election in March. Albanese urged voters not to believe that Dutton now supported flexible work arrangements for public servants. “He's now pretending that that program won't proceed,” Albanese told reporters. Members of the center-left Labor Party government have accused their conservative opponents of mimicking U.S. President Donald Trump and his billionaire adviser Elon Musk who has spearheaded the so-called Department of Government Efficiency efforts to downsize and overhaul the U.S. government. “This is DOGE-y Dutton taking his cues and policies straight from the U.S.,” Treasurer Jim Chalmers said last week. The government had argued that the opposition's policy to reduce workplace flexibility would disproportionately disadvantage women because they often had greater childcare responsibilities.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's re-election is cementing a belief US policy is influencing voters abroad. The Labor Party has secured a historic, and comfortable win over Peter Dutton's Liberal National Coalition - with Dutton himself ousted from his own Queensland seat. Over in Canada, Mark Carney secured the role of Prime Minister - with experts claiming anti-Trump sentiment helped propel his win. Former Finance Minister Steven Joyce says the political right has learned the same lesson as the left about online 'echo chambers'. "The broad middle of politics is much more pragmatic about what they want to see happen in the world, they're not so much interested in the culture wars - be they on the left or on the right."

Australia heads to the polls facing a cost-of-living crisis and two familiar faces: Labor’s Anthony Albanese and the Conservative Coalition’s Peter Dutton. But United States President Donald Trump has emerged as having an unforeseen impact on Australian political discourse. How will the candidates navigate the political realignment across the Pacific?

Australia heads to the polls this weekend - with climate firmly on the ballot. Is the country ready to lose its reputation as the battleground of the climate wars? And are we about to see a lasting shift in a nation that has for years been torn between its sunlight and its coal?As a pivotal election looms, Christiana Figueres, Tom Rivett-Carnac and Paul Dickinson examine what's at stake for one of the world's highest per-capita emitters. After months of polling ahead, the opposition Coalition now faces a late surge from the governing Labor Party, with the Greens, Teals and independents all likely to play a crucial role. The result could reinforce, roll-back or reshape domestic climate policy, and determine whether Australia emerges as a global climate leader at a time when others are stepping away from the stage.To understand what's going on, the team calls up friend of the show Dean Bialek, Founder and Managing Director of The Pacific Project. Together, they explore the opportunities for Australia in the energy transition, the narratives and dynamics driving this election, and the country's potential role as a regional leader as it hopes to host 2026's COP31 with other Pacific nations.So, does Australia have a role to play in reigniting regional and global climate momentum? And how will this election shape the climate fight - both within and beyond its borders.Learn more

Just days out from the crucial vote, the latest Guardian Essential poll shows steady support for Labor. But with a significant number of undecided voters and a strong field of independents, questions remain about how convincing their victory will really be. Guardian Australia's chief political correspondent, Tom McIlroy, sits down with Essential Media's executive director, Peter Lewis, to explore more. Please note the correct Essential poll two-party basis figure is Labor leading the Coalition 52% to 48%

If things go the Greens’ way this weekend, the party could hold the balance of power in a minority Labor government. But given the prime minister’s famed antipathy towards the Greens – and the Labor Party’s continual approvals of new coal and gas projects – questions remain about whether they’ll really have any power at all. Today, Greens leader Adam Bandt, on working with Albanese and what the Greens have to show for their record win last time around.

With the election campaign sputtering to the finish line, much of the coverage has concentrated on the two major parties, and most of their policy offerings have focused on the cost of living. Critics have pointed to the lack of substance and bold policy offerings from both Labor and the Coalition. But polls show about a third of voters are expected to vote for an independent candidate or one from a minor party, with a minority government looking like a distinct possibility. Bridie Jabour talks to editor Lenore Taylor and head of newsroom Mike Ticher about why the trend away from the major parties may make the parliament more productive

Opposition leader Peter Dutton has said that he will not reduce the number of parent visas, although he does intend to reduce overall permanent immigration. On the other hand, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's Labor Party has increased the cap on parent visas in an effort to reduce the growing backlog, but no major reforms have been made so far, and the wait times are still extremely long. - اپوزیشن لیڈر پیٹر ڈٹن نے کہا ہے کہ وہ والدین کے ویزوں کی تعداد میں کمی نہیں کریں گے، حالانکہ وہ مجموعی طور پر مستقل امیگریشن میں کمی کرنے کا ارادہ رکھتے ہیں۔ دوسری جانب وزیر اعظم انتھونی البنیزی کی لیبر پارٹی نے والدین کے ویزوں کی حد میں اضافہ کیا ہے تاکہ بڑھتے ہوئے بیک لاگ کو کم کیا جا سکے لیکن اب تک کوئی بڑی اصلاحات نہیں کی گئیں، اور انتظار کا وقت اب بھی انتہائی طویل ہے۔

But with the flooding of media messaging, are voters able to tell the difference in what's being offered?

In just over 2 weeks, around 18 million Australians are called upon to elect a new government. This also includes many members of the German-speaking community. On May 3, it will be decided whether the Labor Party, led by Prime Minister Antony Albanese, may remain in power for another 3 years, or whether the conservative Liberal/National Party, led by Peter Dutton, will take the reins. However, other parties and groups are also applying, such as GREENS, whose party leader is Adam Bandt, and numerous independent parties. In the media, we see and hear candidates every day who present themselves to voters in supermarkets, filling stations and at traffic junctions, shake hands and announce future political decisions. Many of these topics are also very important to our German-speaking community. Benjamin Kanthak and Wolfgang Müller analyse who is ahead halftime in the election campaign. - In etwas über 2 Wochen sind etwa 18 Millionen Australier aufgerufen, eine neue Regierung zu wählen. Dazu gehören auch viele Mitglieder der deutschsprachigen Community. Am 3. Mai wird entschieden, ob die Labor Party mit Regierungschef Antony Albanese an der Spitze noch weitere 3 Jahre an der Macht bleiben darf, oder, ob die konservative Liberal/National Party unter der Führung von Peter Dutton das Heft in die Hand bekommt. Daneben bewerben sich aber noch andere Parteien und Gruppierungen, so die GREENS, deren Parteichef Adam Bandt ist und dazu noch zahlreiche Unabhängige. In den Medien sehen und hören wir täglich Kandidaten, die sich beim Wählervolk in Supermärkten, bei Tankstellen und an Verkehrskreuzungen vorstellen, Hände schütteln und künftige politische Entscheidungen verkünden. Viele dieser Themen sind auch unserer deutschsprachigen Community sehr wichtig. Benjamin Kanthak und Wolfgang Mueller analysieren, wer zur Halbzeit im Wahlkampf, die Nase vorn hat.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has committed $1 billion towards mental health. The Labor Party says the investment recognises a critical workforce gap in mental health care that needs to be addressed. The coalition has previously promised a similar boost to the sector, but with a focus on additional subsidised support sessions.

But in a campaign lacking inspiration, where is the promise of hope? Tony Barry and Barrie Cassidy examine the impact of new tariffs on Australia just four weeks out from the election. They also debate Dutton's plan to cut public sector workers, and wonder: is it too much to ask for some big ideas?
