In this podcast episode, the National Anti Corruption Commission has finally opened its doors and already received 44 referrals regarding potential corruption cases, most of which will involve the former Morrison government: secret ministries, questionable land deals, non-existent reports by Barnaby Joyce, Angus Taylor – land, water and forgeries – Bridget McKenzie, Michaelia Cash, Alan Tudge, Linda Reynolds, and Stuart Robert – just to name a few. The new Commission is spoiled for choice, and expected to be busy for a very long time.The Robodebt Royal Commission report was released, consisting of 990 pages and 57 recommendations – and a ‘sealed section' containing referrals for civil and criminal prosecution, which will go to the new National Anti Corruption Commission. The report vindicates those affected by the Robodebt system and highlights the failures of the system over the past five years. It was a scandalous program and should never have been implemented.There is also a significant focus on interest rates, with speculation and debates about their impact on the Australian economy. The Reserve Bank decided to leave interest rates at 4.1%, raising questions about the political motivations behind the decision. And, as usual, the Liberal Party claims credit for the stable rates – even though they've been out of office for 14 months – while criticising Labor when rates go up. They can't have it both ways.The Voice To Parliament campaigns continue, with misinformation, lies, and racism characterising the “no” campaign. Peter Dutton, one of the most nefarious leaders ever of the Liberal Party, faces a crucial byelection in the Queensland seat of Fadden. A poor performance in the byelection may result in the end of Dutton's leadership so, of course, he has made outrageous claims, attacked mining companies and retailers supporting the Voice to Parliament campaign, and criticised Anthony Albanese and the Labor government for their focus on the issue. Apparently, it's also the cause of the rise of the price of milk.These naysayers are hard on the ears, with all of their outrageous lies, racism and misinformation. If only they could sit down, shut up, and listen to Indigenous Affairs minister, Linda Burney, who provided one of the all-time great speeches at the National Press Club.

Former Defence Minister Linda Reynolds has confirmed that she was advised on Friday that her former staffer Brittany Higgins intends to file a compensation claim — that could climb as high as $3 million. News.com.au revealed over the weekend that Ms Higgins' legal team had entered negotiations over a bombshell multimillion-dollar personal injury claim. It's believed the claim includes $2.5 million for future economic loss, past economic loss, general damages of future assistance with at-home care and past and future out-of-pocket expenses of a further $150,000. Lawyers acting for Ms Higgins indicated they were pressing ahead with the claim on Friday, the same day that it was announced the charge against Bruce Lehrmann would be dropped and the criminal trial would not proceed based on a risk to the life of the complainant, who remains hospitalised in Queensland. “I confirm that I was advised in March this year by Blumers, who act for Brittany Higgins, of a civil claim by Ms Higgins against me and other parties,” Senator Reynolds said. “However, proceedings are yet to be filed. Blumers advised me yesterday that their client intends to progress the civil claim this month.” Ms Higgins also took to Instagram on Sunday, posting a text version of the speech she gave outside the ACT court when the first trial ended over juror misconduct. The speech angered defence lawyers because among other issues it claimed that Mr Lehrmann, who has always maintained his innocence, was never asked to hand over his phone to police. In fact, he was required to surrender his phone to police, with calls he made raised by prosecutors and the defence during the trial. Mr Lehrmann, who was originally charged over her alleged rape, is also considering civil remedies for a cash payout, with his legal team considering a Comcare claim, defamation action against media outlets and unfair dismissal from the jobs he lost after the allegations emerged. Mr Lehrmann has always maintained his innocence and was never convicted of any crime. Sources who have seen the legal documentation supporting Ms Higgins' claim say that it includes compensation for lost earnings, future earnings and at-home support for Ms Higgins, who has not worked full-time since she went public with her account of an alleged incident at Parliament House. The three respondents named in the legal correspondence are Senator Reynolds, who was Ms Higgins' direct employer at the time she was found in the ministerial suite by a security guard in 2019, Liberal frontbencher Michaelia Cash, and the Commonwealth. But an official claim has not been filed while parties prepare to enter into mediation talks. Ms Higgins' personal lawyer Leon Zwier, who was a regular fixture at her criminal case in Canberra, is aware of the claim. However, Ms Higgins is being represented in the personal injury matter by Noor Blumer, a founding partner of Blumers Lawyers who has practised as a personal injury lawyer since 1992. Ms Blumer has been quietly negotiating the claim since February. It follows former Prime Minister Scott Morrison's apology to Ms Higgins in parliament for the “many terrible experiences Ms Higgins has detailed during her time working at Parliament House and the treatment that she has described receiving whilst working here”. But he insisted that apology was “by no means a reflection on the matters before a court”. Ms Blumer declined to comment on the matter or any mediation talks when contacted. A leading Canberra lawyer, Ms Blumer previously went public with her own complaint that former High Court judge Dyson Heydon tried to touch her leg under a table and kiss her at University of Canberra Law ball several years ago. Mr Heydon issued a statement at the time through his lawyers denying “emphatically any allegation of sexual harassment or any offence”. News of the compensation claim follows shock revelations over the weekend that police “unlawfully” sent Ms Higgins private counselling notes to Mr Lehrmann's original defence team – who insisted they didn't open it. Further revelations that police held concerns there was insufficient evidence to charge Mr Lehrmann were also leaked to The Weekend Australian, prompting the prosecutor Shane Drumgold to raise concerns that this was – potentially – another unlawful disclosure. Last year, Senator Reynolds offered a confidential defamation settlement to Ms Higgins after it emerged she had privately referred to her as a “lying cow”. The money was donated to charity. But Liberal sources said Ms Reynolds, who gave dramatic evidence at the criminal trial this year, was reluctant to settle the case. “She will never, ever, agree to settle,” a Liberal source said. The other former minister named in the claim, Senator Cash, emphatically denied in the ACT Supreme Court that she knew of Ms Higgins' rape allegations more than a year before it became public in February 2021. “Not a sexual element, no,” Senator Cash said. “The first time that she mentioned an (alleged) sexual element was I think in the conversation on the 5th of February 2021.” - by Samantha Maiden, news.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

More than 85 former Liberal MPs, staffers and candidates have been appointed to the body since the government took office. Labor appointed two in its six years. Guest: Mark Dreyfus, Shadow Attorney-General.

In this episode of the news & Views program, Hajjah Faten El Dana OAM discusses with Senator Michaelia Cash the proposed Religious Discrimination law that the Morrison government introduced to parliament on November 25, highlighting that it is delivering on its commitment to protect Australians from discrimination on the ground of their religious beliefs. في هذه الحلقة من خبر ووجهة نظر ، تناقش الحاجة فاتن الدنا مشروع قانون مكافحة التمييز الديني الذي قدمته حكومة سكوت موريسون إلى البرلمان في 25 نوفمبر الجاري، مسلطة الضوء على التزامها بحماية الأستراليين من التمييز على أساس خلفيتهم الدينية

The Prime Minister will finally introduce the long awaited Religious Discrimination Bill. He's under pressure from conservatives not to water down the proposed laws any further, while Liberal moderates are insisting on additional protections for LGBTI+ teachers and students.

Van Badham and Ben Davison analyse Gladys delusional optimism about COVID reopening, Dan's sombre lockdown extension and the increase in far right foreign agitation as orchestrators of COVID spreading events in Australia are arrested overseas. The Morrison government drops protections for women from sexual harassment from its respect at work legislation as women across Australia campaign and make #wewontwait trend.  But is the fact that Michaelia Cash is the industrial relations minister and has a track record of selling out other women mean this issue can't be won?  Van tells us why even with Cash in charge the struggle isn't over. GDP has grown but in every meaningful way we are in a recession.  Ben examines how pretending iron ore price and sales volume increases are somehow the same as the real economy is ignoring the millions of unemployed, underemployed and worker's who's real wages are going backward. And the good news is about magnetic fluids removing micro-plastics from the oceans! Plus Germanicus cries, wriggles and generally interferes with the recording.    

Michaelia Cash is known as one of the Liberal Party's most aggressive "attack dogs". But as Good Weekend's Jane Cadzow discovered when spending time with Cash in her home town of Perth, the newly-appointed Attorney-General is also a karaoke-singing, coffee-drinking workaholic who loves hugs. Cadzow and Shane Wright, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age's chief economics correspondent - who has reported extensively on West Australian politics - discuss Cash the person and Cash the political operator, her role within the Liberal Party both nationally and in her home state, and the difficulties she and other WA-based federal MPs face flying regularly across the country to do their work.

This week on the pod, Spooky speaks about becoming wholesome, Michaelia Cash's plastic glory and sings a bit about 'Coal'-ar Power.

Van Badham and Ben Davison look at the Medicare cuts that have been slammed by doctors and have inspired action from Australian Unions to save Medicare from Greg Hunt's dream of an American style, privatised healthcare system. A family from Biloela has been left to rot on an island for 1000 days, a toddler is a preventable blood infection and a community wants the family to come home.  So why is Morrison spending $6 million keeping them in a 400 bed detention centre?  And how do we get things back on track? Morrison reanimates the ministerial career of Michaelia Cash to help cut wages for the workers in Australia's "most profitable sector" while also trying to drive down the minimum wage for millions of our pandemic heroes. The good news is about Trees and Bees Plus Germanicus joins as we record from a new location.

This week on the pod, Spooky returns from a long sabbatical to talk Michaelia Cash, the weather, and more. Despite being denied her daily Sprite, she powers through. 

Van Badham and Ben Davison look at how Morrison's failure on COVID vaccinations and quarantine might have blown Australia's head start and left Victoria facing another lockdown. The Canberra cover-up culture continues as Morrison's three seperate investigations into the Brittany Higgins allegations devolve into farce, outright sabotage and total misdirection.  Meanwhile the senate estimates processes is being obfuscated by Liberal appointed senators trying to help Michaelia Cash and security advisors pretending that Morrison's QAnon mates being used as a pipeline for misinformation for Russia, China, Iran and Saudi Arabia isn't really a problem. It is Sorry Day and we say sorry to first nations Australians for their mistreatment at the hands of successive Australian governments. The good news is about a combined ANZAC effort on plastic waste. Germanicus is super excited to have us back in the shed and we once again thank our show sponsor, Australian Unions. 

Christian Porter and Linda Reynolds have been stripped of their portfolios, with Prime Minster Scott Morrison announcing a cabinet reshuffle after several weeks of chaos.Mr Porter will lose the Attorney-General post and Senator Reynolds has been dumped from the Defence Ministry.Senator Michaelia Cash will become the next Attorney-General and Peter Dutton will be Defence Minister.Mr Porter announced he was going on mental health leave at a press conference on March 3, in which he vehemently denied a historical claim that he raped a 16-year-old girl.He has been under pressure to resign after he revealed himself as the minister at the centre of the rape allegation.Mr Porter has never been charged and police confirmed there was “insufficient evidence” to proceed with an investigation, labelling the matter “closed”.His decision to launch defamation proceedings against the ABC and journalist Louise Milligan saw calls for him to be removed from his position intensify, over conflict of interest concerns.Meanwhile, Senator Reynolds has been on leave since February after being admitted to hospital to receive treatment for a pre-existing heart condition.She has faced intense criticism over her handling of Brittany Higgins' alleged rape in Parliament House — first reported by news.com.au in February this year.The former Liberal Party staffer has alleged she was raped at Parliament House in Defence Minister Linda Reynolds' ministerial office by a colleague.Police are investigating the incident and a political inquiry was suspended on Monday over concerns it could interfere with the criminal probe.The significant reshuffle saw a number of senior moves, including among the two major scalps today.Mr Porter will be Minister for Industry, Science and Technology while Ms Reynolds will take on Government Service and the NDIS.Filling the Home Affairs Minister role as Mr Dutton moves to Defence will be Karen Andrews.−The Morrison government has been under renewed pressure since the publication last week of “disgusting” images and videos of male senior government staff performing sex acts in Parliament House.A shambolic press conference by Scott Morrison the next day, in which he falsely claimed News Corp Australia – publisher of news.com.au – was subject to its own harassment investigation, saw criticism intensify.On top of that, the saga surrounding Queensland MP Andrew Laming has added fuel to the fire, with him now saying he won't contest the next election.The news that he would quit politics and not move to the crossbench followed allegations he took a photograph of a woman bending over to fill a fridge with soft drinks – without her consent – and abused two women online to the point that one considered suicide.

The big news since Wednesday: -Morrison spends $1.2B on “cheap” holiday flights but leaves 40,000 Aussie stranded overseas, 2 million unemployed & underemployed and 3 million fearing the end of Jobkeeper -Mark McGowan romps home to win 53 of 59 seats in WA and destroy the Liberals -March 4 Justice rallies are happening nation wide on Monday to call out inequality, sexism, violence against women and the culture that has allowed attacks on women -The IR Omnibus bill is due in the senate on Tuesday but looks shaky with Michaelia Cash trying to win over a skeptical senate cross bench.

The Federal Government has rolled out a scheme to subsidise tradie wages. Michaelia Cash joined Brooke to explain how businesses can claim half the cost of wages for the first 12 months of an apprenticeship. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At the start of the pandemic Australia’s unemployment payment, called jobseeker, was temporarily raised to account for economic hardship. On Tuesday, the government announced that when the more generous payment ends next month, jobseeker will return to a rate that will see people living well below the poverty line. Luke Henriques-Gomes explains the changes, and how some people will struggle to afford basic necessities on the new rate

Small Biz Matters – a half hour program each week where you can work ON your business rather than IN it.with Alexi Boyd from Boyd Office Management ServicesDate: 20 November 2018 When operating a small business in Australia we have to navigate local, state and federal legislation and compliance. We operate in a particular area so the impact of local government decisions affects us daily but when it comes to compliance, tax, super, employment and a whole lot of other regulation is the responsibility of the Federal Government. We’ve welcomed Julian on the show to talk about new ways the federal government supports small business through grant funding and financial support, a little about our fantastic unique businesses and what to expect from the new Small Business Minister, Michaelia Cash.   Welcome to the show, Julian. Topics we’ll be covering: How does the Federal Government support Small Business? Recently with the reshuffle in Federal Parliament there has been a new Small Business Minister brought back into cabinet. What does this mean for small business now that we have a Minister back in cabinet representing us? What can we expect from the Federal Government from this position and which stakeholders will she liaise with? Last month you were spotted supporting local Dural strawberry farmers at Hornsby market. In what other ways are you trying to support and promote the idea of “Keeping it Local” Are there any Federal grant or support programs which you’d like to let local small businesses know about? One of the frustrating aspects of running a small business is the determination process for employee versus contactors. There are multiple pieces of legislation relating to employee and contractors including Tax, Super, Employment Law, WorkCover, Payroll Tax and each of those have their own determination tool. Its very frustrating; small business is trying to do the right thing but can’t get an answer to the question – is this person a contractor or an employee? Are there any plans to make this process simpler for businesses who are doing their best to be compliant? Questions from listeners: Is the Liberal party looking to recruit from the small business community to better represent your biggest employer in the nation? Ha! Both State and Commonwealth governments are  investing heavily by offering funding for up to Diploma level qualifications. The take up is low and non completions high. A common reason quoted is that small business owners do not have time or the resources to attend classes, complete assessments and many feel what is more of value to them, is hands-on business advisory, soft skills, how to set up KPI's, manage cash flow, etc.As business coaches and business advisors, will the government consider providing funding for hands-on business coaching and advisory to help small business?

On this week's review show we discuss the shocker…

This week Alice was a serious thorn in the government’s side with a wild story about Michaelia Cash and the AFP raids being leaked to the media. She also spoke to former prime minister Kevin Rudd about his new book, which is 100% absolutely not written for revenge. Meanwhile, Lane delivers the most cynical postal survey update yet. Also, #estimates~ nonsense and the government’s rejection of the Referendum Council’s recommended Indigenous Voice to Parliament.

Ross speaks to the Minister for Employment, Michaelia Cash, about a new initiative to get people back into the workforce. 

The government this week introduced a bill that aims to put a stop to secret agreements between employers and unions without the knowledge of union members. The next hurdle will be the Senate, although it's possible Labor may support the legislation. Employment Minister Michaelia Cash says she is always in discussion with the Senate crossbenchers about the implementation of the recommendations from the Heydon royal commission. “And certainly, I'm always willing to sit down with [Shadow Employment Minister] Brendan O'Connor or Richard Di Natale to discuss the legislation.” Beyond these new measures, Cash suggests the government wants to legislate more recommendations from the royal commission into trade unions. “There are about 50 to 55 left and we are finalising that package as we speak. We are absolutely committed to adopting the Heydon recommendations. "There are further recommendations in relation to what employers and unions should be disclosing in the course of enterprise agreements. There are some recommendations which go to, for example, choice of superannuation fund in enterprise agreements. There are some recommendations which go towards further transparency. Again, we're happy to adopt them all.” Following a ruling by the Fair Work Commission to cut Sunday penalty rates in industries such as hospitality, retail and fast food, some businesses have been reluctant to show strong support for the changes. Cash would like to see more businesses take up the cause. “I believe that if you accept a decision and you embrace the positive benefits and you want to bring people with you, then yes, you should be out there selling that message. "These guys are scared. They are scared that the unions will come and get them.”

As the government turns up the heat over its Australian Building and Construction Commission legislation, Employment Michaelia Cash reveals to Michelle Grattan she is willing to agree to senator David Leyonhjelm's call for a sunset clause. “David has raised that with me and … yes, I would accept an eight-year sunset clause,” she says. She says in that time the ABCC would demonstrably prove its worth in curbing lawlessness in the construction industry and improving productivity. In the aftermath of the trade union royal commission, Cash talks about a restored ABCC's powers, proposed revamped registered organisations legislation and double dissolution triggers. Cash, also Minister for Women, outlines plans for promoting gender equality in the public service and calls on the Liberal Party across Australia to undertake “audits” on female participation.
