An eight-month investigation by The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald has exposed the inner workings and the growing threat of Australian neo-nazi group the National Socialist Network.

Today on Please Explain, investigative journalist Nick McKenzie joins Nathanael Cooper to look inside the insidious white supremacy movement in Australia.

With more than half of Australians now in lockdown, the economic scars of this crisis are beginning to show. Economists are debating exactly how big the hit to economic output and jobs will be in the September quarter and, indeed, if lockdowns continue into the December quarter, whether it will be appropriate to pull out the dreaded “r” word again: recession. Today on Please Explain, economics editor Ross Gittins joins Jess Irvine to discuss the adequacy of support for people whose incomes have been affected by COVID-19.

In his 2004 book The Paradox of Choice: Why More is Less, American psychologist, Barry Schwartz, suggested that it is possible to have too much of a good thing, including choice. Now, around Australia we are testing that theory, with much of our freedom of choice taken away. The freedom to choose where we go, where we eat, where we socialise and even who we socialise with has been removed as our worlds shrink further under more onerous lockdown restrictions. But when the world eventually return to normal, will the return of choice make us happier? Or will the buffet of choice between restaurants, places to visit and things to do leave us with analysis paralysis and decision fatigue. Today on Please Explain, senior economics writer Jessica Irvine joins Nathanael Cooper to discuss whether there can be too much choice.

NSW is stuck in limbo. More than six weeks into lockdown COVID-19 case numbers are stubbornly refusing to drop. There are growing calls for us to accept living with the virus, or face remaining cut off from the rest of the world indefinitely. NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian is starting to talk of lifting restrictions at the end of August if the state reaches 50 per cent vaccination. That feels like only a little bit of light at the end of a very long tunnel. On this episode of Please Explain, state political reporter Lucy Cormack joins Tory Maguire to discuss.
