With Treasurer Jim Chalmers set to hand down the Federal Budget next week, we thought it would be a good time to dive into the process of how it gets made and how the media reports on it. James Chessell, a Walkley Award-winning journalist and former Managing Director of Publishing at Nine Entertainment, is well-versed in covering budgets. Plus, his former time working as a staffer for Joe Hockey makes him uniquely qualified on the topic.  Club Picks: This episode of Politics with Michelle Grattan with economist Chris Richardson. She's the doyen of political coverage out of Canberra's Press Gallery, and he's the go-to guru for anyone looking to make sense of the Budget. Ahead of its release, they set the scene for what's on the government's economic plate.  This piece from 2017 by Dr Denis Muller, a journalism expert from Melbourne Uni, goes into the art of the leak…  And speaking of leaks, the mother of them all came about in 1980 when then-Ten News political reporter Laurie Oakes got access to the Budget in a dark Canberra car park 2 days ahead of its release… This clip of how it unfolded on air is fun, if only for then Treasurer John Howard's reaction…

Gathering for the 2023 BAD Sydney Crime Writers Festival is underway with one of Australia's great political journalists, Laurie Oakes the patron of the event.

Once upon a time the publishing mantra was that books about politics only sell if written by progressives. The past decade has proven that truism wrong. But what makes for a good book about contemporary politics? Is it scandal? Revelation? Good writing? Laura Tingle and John Warhurst (with Laurie Oakes) spent much of the past 12 months reading as judges of the inaugural Australian Political Book of the Year. So, what did they conclude? Event details: Mon 06 Mar, 3:45pm on the East Stage

I have one dubious claim to fame. I am the only journalist in Australia to have interviewed every PM since Robert Menzies. All except one – the current one. ScoMo. I interviewed him as Treasurer, and Immigration Minister but not in the top job. We planned to but I got voted out.I interviewed Menzies in 1964. I was 20. I thought Laurie Oakes or Michelle Grattan would beat me but Laurie told me he first interviewed Menzies in 1967 when he had retired and Grattan joined the press gallery later than that. So my record stands.

Tom Krause was the legendary force behind agenda-setting programs like Meet the Press and the Sunday program on the Nine Network.
