Podcast appearances and mentions of Lenore Taylor

As the dust settles on the federal election, hard lessons for the losers have dominated the headlines. Did the Coalition run a bad campaign that failed to connect with voters? Or did Australians reject Peter Dutton's Trump-style politics? What should we make of the Greens losing so many seats? And is there a danger in over-interpreting election results? Bridie Jabour talks to the editor Lenore Taylor, deputy editor Patrick Keneally and the national news editor, Josephine Tovey, about why the lessons learned from this election are not as simple as they seem

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

With one day to go before the election, the polls paint a rosy picture for Labor. Governing with a majority is still a live option for the incumbent government – but pollsters have been wrong before, and a late-night surprise is not off the table. So, after a long campaign which left many voters frustrated with the lack of big promises and big policy – have the major parties earned your vote? Bridie Jabour talks to the editor, Lenore Taylor, and the head of newsroom, Mike Ticher, about the choices progressive voters face as they head to the polls

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

A week in to the federal election campaign and both parties have provided soundbites, but have been light on promises and policy. The prime minister, Anthony Albanese, and the opposition leader, Peter Dutton, are hyper focused on cost of living, but when asked about their plans to offer real relief answers have been hard to come by.Bridie Jabour talks with the editor, Lenore Taylor, the head of newsroom, Mike Ticher, and deputy editor Patrick Keneally about holding politicians to account, and if voters deserve more from their leaders

With the prime minister expected to call the election at any moment, the impact of American politics on our security, economy and defence cannot be underestimated. Australian politics has been dominated by a pre-election budget, but has this overshadowed our ability to guard ourselves against a much more volatile geopolitical climate? Bridie Jabour talks with the editor, Lenore Taylor, head of newsroom, Mike Ticher and deputy editor Patrick Keneally about text leaks, tariffs, and Trump's looming threat

The unofficial election campaign is about to intensify, with a pre-election budget just days away.

In the past 20 years men have not increased the amount of housework they do, despite women's workloads increasing. While they're at work, women are still earning less than men. And as these inequalities continue to play out, Donald Trump's assault on diversity and inclusion programs threatens to spill over into Australia. Bridie Jabour talks with the editor-in-chief, Lenore Taylor, the head of newsroom, Mike Ticher, and the national news editor, Josephine Tovey, about the gender pay gap, and why life for women and men is still not equal

This week, Anthony Albanese faced his first Trump test. The prime minister tried to carve out an exception for Australia from Trump's promised 25% tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum. And while Trump is giving the request ‘great consideration', it won't be the last time the Albanese government will be subjected to the whims of what has already been a chaotic and volatile presidency. Bridie Jabour talks with the editor-in-chief, Lenore Taylor, and deputy editor Patrick Keneally about how Albanese is dealing with Trump

The perks of public office were cast into the spotlight this week after the NSW transport minister, Jo Haylen, was forced to resign. The Labor veteran used her ministerial driver as a chauffeur over the Australia day long weekend. But Haylen is not the first state or federal member of government to lose their job over the use of the public purse. Bridie Jabour talks with Guardian Australia's editor-in-chief, Lenore Taylor, and the head of newsroom, Mike Ticher, about why politicians find it so hard to pass the pub test Please fill out our audience survey here: theguardian.com/fullstorysurvey

Peter Dutton wants to slash thousands of government jobs in an Elon Musk-style purge of the public service. But this is not the first time an Australian politician has promised cost-cutting before an election and we don't know much about the potential policy or its consequences. Bridie Jabour talks with the editor-in-chief, Lenore Taylor, and deputy editor Patrick Keneally about the threats to the public service and finding facts during an election campaign

A story splashed across the front of News Corp's biggest-selling tabloid newspapers this week was all about gas. We need to ‘step on the gas', the papers said, to avoid higher bills and blackouts.

With only one parliamentary sitting week left this year, the ALP and the Coalition have their sights set on the upcoming federal election.Reged Ahmad talks to Guardian Australia's editor Lenore Taylor, deputy editor Patrick Keneally and head of newsroom Mike Ticher about how the major parties are not only looking forward – they're also looking back at the US election and whether there are lessons for them in Donald Trump's big win

The Guardian is no longer posting on Elon Musk's X. The move comes after Musk's hands-off approach has allowed lies and hate speech to spread on the platform formerly known as Twitter.

Why doesn't anyone seem to trust journalists anymore? Or politicians? Or anyone, really? Are we all becoming paranoid, or has our trust been broken by those we lent it to?   Lenore Taylor's the editor-in-chief of The Guardian Australia and the host of the Guardian's Full Story podcast. Lenore jokes that journos have always been about as trusted as used car salesmen, but she's worried facts don't mean what they used to anymore.   Lenore takes you back to the moment she noticed facts were losing their power, explains how political figures have leveraged mistrust to stoke fear, and breaks down what needs to change if we want to rebuild trust in Australia.  +++  The Solutionists is podcast from the University of Sydney, produced by Deadset Studios.

After weeks of chaos on the campaign trail, the new Democratic nominee Kamala Harris has brought some voters new enthusiasm for the US presidential election.

The Insiders panel of Samantha Maiden, Phil Coorey, and Lenore Taylor discuss the judgement in the Bruce Lehrmann defamation trial, with Justice Michael Lee ruling that on the balance of probabilities Lehrmann raped his colleague Brittany Higgins in a ministerial suite inside Parliament House in 2019. The judgement was hailed by journalist Lisa Wilkinson as a vindication of her story, but it also included strong criticism of key parts of the The Project's broadcast – particularly the suggestion that members of the Morrison government and their staff had covered-up the sexual assault. David Speers interviews Opposition Leader Peter Dutton about the government's role following the week of violence in Sydney, nuclear power, and the Lehrmann verdict. The panel also discuss defence spending and delays to the EPBC act.

Gabrielle Jackson speaks with editor Lenore Taylor and head of newsroom Mike Ticher about the response to Wong's calls to recognise Palestinian statehood

How did a system that was meant to make access to university more equitable end up burdening students with the very $100,000 degrees John Howard promised Australia would never have? Jane Lee and Matilda Boseley talk to the Labor-appointed architect of the higher education contribution scheme to understand why student fees were introduced, who benefited and how he wound up at a dinner party where guests were planning to burn an effigy … of him.

Australia's chronic housing crisis has been decades in the making. And as the scale of the shortage continues to grow, the states are stepping up. Victoria and NSW have recently introduced a suite of reforms aimed at tackling supply, while federally, Labor's landmark housing policy finally passed the Senate. But after years of stagnation, will these new measures make an impact? Gabrielle Jackson speaks to the Guardian Australia editor-in-chief, Lenore Taylor, and head of newsroom, Mike Ticher, about whether small steps can make a big difference in the housing crisis

Peter Dutton is ramping up his calls for nuclear power in Australia. Despite the Coalition not taking up the nuclear option while they were in power, the opposition leader is now saying nuclear energy is a safe, cheap and consistent power source, which will help Australia transition from fossil fuels towards a zero emissions economy. But his claims are not backed up by the facts. Gabrielle Jackson speaks to editor-in-chief, Lenore Taylor, and head of news, Mike Ticher, about why nuclear power is not the answer to our energy transition

It seems everyone is talking up gas expansion as a solution to ending the climate crisis. Federal resources minister Madeleine King says Australia needs to remain an essential supplier of gas, while opposition leader Peter Dutton is telling the gas industry to fight off Labor's ‘renewable zealotry'. But in reality gas power is undeniably in decline. Gabrielle Jackson talks to Guardian Australia's editor-in-chief Lenore Taylor and live news editor Patrick Keneally about why we need to talk about the fossil fuel

In its first full-year budget Labor has provided much-needed cost-of-living relief to people doing it tough, including a huge spend on Medicare to help more people see the GP for free. However, as editor-in-chief Lenore Taylor writes, this help is ‘spread widely and a little bit thin'.Guardian Australia reporters break down the budget's key features, plus chief political correspondent Paul Karp and Lenore Taylor explain whether the relief in this budget is enough for voters to keep the faith

Gabrielle Jackson talks to Guardian Australia's editor-in-chief, Lenore Taylor, and deputy live news editor, Jo Tovey, about the generational divide in the cost-of-living crisis

After a busy week for the Murdoch family, which saw Fox News settling out of court with voting machine company Dominion and Lachlan Murdoch dropping his defamation case against Crikey, they capped it all of off by firing one of their biggest stars – Tucker Carlson. But does the fallout from these high profile stories tell us anything we didn't already know? Gabrielle Jackson talks to Guardian Australia's editor-in-chief, Lenore Taylor, and head of news, Mike Ticher, about Fox News, the Murdochs and the media

With the budget fast approaching and the cost of living continuing to hit the most vulnerable Australians hardest, the Labor government is at a crossroads.

After the landmark Aukus announcement, the former prime minister Paul Keating launched a blistering attack on the government – calling the trilateral agreement the ‘worst deal in history'.

Gabrielle Jackson talks to Guardian Australia's editor-in-chief, Lenore Taylor, and head of news, Mike Ticher, about the need for scrutiny of the Aukus agreement

This week the UK prime minister, Rishi Sunak, promised to ‘stop the boats' and announced a new hardline stance on immigration. This familiar language shapes familiar policy. The inability to seek asylum, forcible boat turnbacks, offshore and indefinite detention led to an immeasurable human toll in Australia. But two decades later, after implementing a similar ‘solution', the cruelty of the system remains. Gabrielle Jackson talks to Guardian Australia's editor-in-chief, Lenore Taylor, and head of news, Mike Ticher, about the enduring inhumanity of Australia's immigration regime and whether the UK will learn from our mistakes

As the Labor government continues to push for tax reform, it seems that every time Jim Chalmers and Anthony Albanese face the media they're accused of breaking an election promise. While it's important to hold politicians accountable, is the constant shouting about broken promises drowning out a nuanced discussion about a fair and equitable tax system? And should a past promise prevent good policy? Gabrielle Jackson talks to Guardian Australia's editor-in-chief, Lenore Taylor, and head of news, Mike Ticher, about broken promises and political point scoring

We live in a time of increasing polarisation and tribalism. But we are also confronting a series of extraordinary crises which require public debate of complex issues that have no single solution. There's no doubt the media has played a role in increasing polarisation, but does it have the tools to mediate a more nuanced conversation? In this episode of Full Story, Gabrielle Jackson talks to Guardian Australia's editor-in-chief, Lenore Taylor, and live news editor, Patrick Keneally, about the need for nuance

In this episode of Full Story, Gabrielle Jackson talks to Lenore Taylor and Mike Ticher about the new electric car discount, and the road to zero emissions vehicles.

With the Victoria election around the corner, the incumbent premier Daniel Andrews has been under the media spotlight.

In this episode of Full Story, Gabrielle Jackson talks to Lenore Taylor and Mike Ticher about whether these stories have news value, or whether they are meant to muddy the waters ahead of a crucial election

In this episode of Full Story, Gabrielle Jackson talks to Lenore Taylor and Mike Ticher about revitalising the tourism industry and how the world sees Australia

The Albanese government is facing increasing pressure to walk back their election promise to keep the stage-three tax cuts legislated under the Morrison government worth $243bn, which will predominantly benefit the most wealthy Australians. In the middle of a looming economic crisis, Labor says they have not changed their tax policy, but will put ‘economics before politics'.
