Sky News Australia reports a downturn in Australia-US relations stemming from the Trump administration's decision to cease funding for seven Australian universities. This action followed inquiries to researchers about Chinese funding and university stances on gender. Prime Minister Albanese is urged to convene an emergency meeting to assess the impact of this funding cut, potentially leaving a significant deficit for Australian research. The US administration cited its "America First" agenda, objecting to "DEI, woke gender ideology and the green new deal" as reasons for this funding pause, prioritising American taxpayer money for domestic priorities. Australian science and education bodies are calling for a strong government response to protect research interests, though the Australian government states it will continue to advocate for collaborative research. The US has indicated that its funding decisions will align with its own priorities.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred brought significant disruption to Queensland and northern New South Wales, causing power outages, flooding, and structural damage. The storm led to numerous emergency calls, evacuations, and flood rescues, with warnings remaining despite the cyclone's downgrade. Areas north of Brisbane were expected to receive heavy rainfall, escalating the risk of flash flooding, while several dams overflowed. The Gold Coast faced infrastructure issues such as power cuts at a major hospital. Prime Minister Albanese announced financial aid for affected communities, acknowledging the potential for lasting mental health impacts. Lismore, recovering from previous floods, faced renewed threats, highlighting the need for long-term mitigation strategies.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

International Graphite Ltd (ASX: IG6) managing director and CEO Andrew Worland join's Proactive's Tylah Tully after recently hosting Prime Minister Anthony Albanese at its processing and research and development facility in Collie, Western Australia. The visit highlighted the company's significant contributions to Australia's critical minerals industry. The Collie facility is the first of its kind in Australia and forms a key part of International Graphite's mine-to-market strategy, which includes the development of the Springfield Graphite Project - one of Australia's largest graphite resources - and downstream processing at Collie. Prime Minister Albanese was accompanied by Federal Minister for Climate Change and Energy Chris Bowen, Assistant Minister Josh Wilson and several Western Australian Government representatives. The visit underscores the government's support and interest in the growth of Australia's critical minerals sector. The Collie facility operates as a pilot-scale micronising and spheroidising plant, producing graphite products for customer testing in various industries, including battery materials, defence, plastics, lubricants and aerospace. International Graphite plans to expand operations at the facility to a capacity of 4,000 tonnes of micronised product per year, supported by a $4.5 million grant from the WA Government awarded in April. #Proactievinvestors #InternationalGraphite #ASX #CollieFacility, #PrimeMinisterVisit, #GraphiteProduction, #CriticalMinerals, #ASXNews, #BatteryMaterials, #GraphiteProcessing, #AustralianMining, #GraphiteIndustry, #DownstreamProcessing, #GovernmentSupport, #MineToMarket, #SpringfieldGraphite, #EnergySector, #GraphiteMarket, #IndustrialMaterials, #GraphiteDemand, #MineralsProcessing, #WAIndustry #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

If disturbance kills those taller plants, replacements regrow from the ground and add to the fuel. Prescribed burns are a fire mitigation tool used with the aim of reducing fuel load to minimise the intensity and severity of fires.  However, while prescribed burns can sometimes decrease flammability in the short term, the way they disrupt forest ecosystems can create longer periods of additional flammability.  “Very frequent burning close to homes or control lines could create defendable spaces, but large, remote and infrequent burns maintain the landscape at maximum fire risk because they undermine the natural controls that forests place on fire," Associate Professor Zylstra said. The remote areas that burn have often been extensively logged eg Eden NSWRECENT MESSAGE FROM BOB BROWN FOUNDATION JULY1STAn end to native forest logging should have happened more than a decade ago but this list is another killing plan to feed export woodchippers, Malaysian timber company Ta Ann, and Victorian sawmills that have no social licence,” Jenny Weber, Bob Brown Foundation's Campaigns Manager said.“Kilometres of new wilderness-destroying roads will be slashed into ancient forests that have never seen a chainsaw, including taxpayer-funded roads into untouched Takayna rainforests and 6km into the Wentworth Hills near Lake St Clair. Clearfell operations in areas essential to the critically- endangered migratory Swift Parrot have been drafted despite the threat that poses to the species,” said Erik Hayward, Bob Brown Foundation Campaigner. “Lines on maps have been drawn that carve up some of the most remarkable natural landscapes this globe has to offer. For the defence of our natural world we will remain committed and defiant in the face of this complete abandon,” said Erik Hayward.“Over the last six weeks, hundreds of Australians joined the largest protest against native forest logging in Tasmania in the last decade, in Takayna. Prime Minister Albanese needs to immediately put an end to such native forest logging in Australia, which is requested by more than 75% of Labor's voters,” said Jenny Weber. Don't look away from methane :  An investigation by ACF and the global non-profit Clean Air Task Force last year detected methane escaping from more than 100 sources at 35 industrial sites in Queensland and NSW.  “When it comes to rapidly reducing Australia's most potent climate heating pollution, cutting methane emissions from the coal and gas industry is low hanging fruit.”Methane emissions are believed to account for about 30% of the global temperature rise(link is external) since the industrial revolution.  David Rovics' new album of songs was composed between October and December 2023He says "  I wrote them to bear witness to the genocide of the Palestinian people that continues by the hour as I publish this album."Hear the drones above your headWhat were the last words that she saidBefore she joined the thousands deadAs the bombs rain down

Ties between China and Australia are on the mend. This comes as Chinese Premier Li Qiang and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese hold candid talks as part of Premier Li's four-day visit to Australia. Premier Li is the most senior Beijing official to visit the country in seven years.  During those talks, Prime Minister Albanese had stressed the importance of promoting regional balance while China announced that it would include Australia in its visa waiver programme. China has also offered new pandas to Australia as part of efforts to repair the relationship. On this episode of Morning Shot, Dr Lim Tai Wei, Adjunct Senior Research Fellow, NUS East Asian Institute shares his insights on the key shifts as the two countries put differences aside and work on a slew of collaborations on the economic front.

AEC REDISTRIBUTION, ANDREW GILES, MONIQUE RYAN & ISRAEL vs. GAZA COMMANDING THE NARRATIVE EPISODE 22 The political junkies, Steven Tripp, Sam Buono and Richard Storch are back to discuss the big issues in Australia and the World right now. Firstly, Sam and Richard break down the draft redistribution of Federal electorates in Western Australia and Victoria. The two discuss the implications on individual Members of Parliament, coupled with how it will impact the upcoming Federal election. They also discuss the potential boundary changes in the New South Wales redistribution that is set to happen in a week's time. The conversation then leads to Kooyong and the incumbent, Monique Ryan. Steven brings up a Crikey article that argues how Ms. Ryan is targeting the younger voting demographic. Steven further baits Richard with another Crikey article that claims that Andrew Giles is the best Immigration Minister in years. Richard does not hold back in the ineptitude of Mr. Giles and the panel proposes what Prime Minister Albanese might do to stop the damage caused by Giles. Steven and Richard then get into a fiery debate on the current conflict in the Middle East between Israel and Gaza, as Steven pulls up some statistics of casualties from the fighting. Finally, the panel discuss the ongoing re-branding of the Libertarian Party and the similarities between the Party's new logo and a famous Australian sultana company.

Mike is joined by The Daily Telegraph columnist Piers Akerman, about his latest opinion piece that contrasts the extraordinary strength of World War II figures with today's avoidance of holding political leaders accountable. Addressing the delayed acknowledgment of the Greens' involvement in anti-Semitic activities amid pro-Palestinian protests, Mr Akerman's piece criticises Prime Minister Albanese's initial inaction and Labor MPs' reluctance, attributing it to fear of repercussions from Muslim electorates. He also highlights the Greens' support for pro-Palestinian actions and university leaders' compliance with activist demands.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this week's episode of New Politics, we explore the recent parliamentary session where the Prime Minister informed the Labor Caucus that they are “crafting the offer for a second term.” This statement has been widely interpreted as a preparatory move for an election, though this is unlikely before the Queensland state election in October. Redistribution issues further complicate the timing, but we think the possible election dates are either November or April 2025.Amidst this electoral anticipation, pressing issues from the current term still demand resolution. Economic management remains a concern, and other ongoing issues include housing, the “future made in Australia” program, domestic violence, and energy pricing. These are long-term challenges that require continuous management rather than immediate solutions.Immigration continued to be as a contentious issue for the government, particularly concerning the deportation of non-citizens who have committed crimes – Peter Dutton is expected to capitalise on this topic – as conservatives usually do – a natural territory for him, leading up to the next election.For the Labor government, some supporters on the left believe that a second term will allow for the implementation of more radical social policies. However, there is no clear evidence of what Labor intends to pursue in a potential second term. Historically, second terms of Labor governments have varied in productivity and political stability, as seen in comparisons between the Hawke, Whitlam, and Gillard governments. Speculations about a second term under Prime Minister Albanese suggest it might mirror the first term in its cautious and steady approach.Racism has re-entered the national debate following comments by ABC journalist Laura Tingle at the Sydney Writers Festival. Her remarks about Australia's racist tendencies sparked outrage from News Corporation, demanding her reprimand, as well as their usual calls to defund the ABC. We examine the broader context of racism in Australia, from historical policies to contemporary issues, and the media's role in perpetuating or challenging these narratives.The ABC fails to protect its journalists from external attacks – Stan Grant, Yasmin Abdel-Magied, and Antoinette Latouf are prime examples of this – but Laura Tingle, as a senior journalist and ABC board member, represents a tougher challenge for removal. Will she stay, or will she go?The media's influence on politics is another focal point, with Sky News and News Corporation acting as political activists for the Liberal Party. The Prime Minister Albanese's more detailed recognition of media issues in the Democracy Sausage podcast highlights this point, though his reluctance to act remains puzzling.Finally, we cover the Australian Greens' motion to debate the recognition of the state of Palestine, which was swiftly defeated. We also address the duplicity of political statements on Palestine and the broader implications for Australian foreign policy. The reluctance to take a stand on Palestine is linked to fear of backlash from pro-Israel lobby groups, a dynamic mirrored in UK and US politics.

Welcome back to another episode of Monday Breakfast, broadcasted from the studios of 3CR in so-called Melbourne.  Our first segment for this week is Mercedes Zanker of Uprise Radio speaking with Mohamed of The Sit Intifada on the first sitting day of Victorian Parliament of 2024, direct from the steps of Parliament House.   On Thursday last week the NSW government released a discussion paper to allow for feedback on policy changes they see as potential fixes for the state's housing crisis, specifically its lack of housing supply. Currently around 56,000 people are waiting for social housing in the state, with a shortfall of what the NSW government calls ‘221,000 social house dwellings'. We also know that in since 2019, advertised prices of long-term rentals increased by 38%; and that in December 2023, vacancy rates in Greater Sydney were at a mere 1.7%, below the decade's average of 2.3%. Rob spoke with Harry Millward, General Secretary of the Renters and Housing Union to talk about if this approach could ease the housing crisis in that state.

In our first episode for 2024, we delve into the recent adjustments made by the Labor government to the Stage 3 tax cuts, initially legislated by the Coalition government in 2019. Originally criticised for disproportionately benefiting high-income earners and offering minimal support to lower and middle-income demographics, these tax cuts represented a significant point in Australian politics. Despite the Labor party's historical opposition to such policies, under Prime Minister Albanese's leadership, the party showed support with notable reluctance until a recent shift prompted a reevaluation and adjustment of the cuts. We will explore the implications of these adjustments, which promise to extend greater benefits to nearly 85% of wage earners, marking a significant departure from the originally planned benefits and raising the key question about the timing and motivations behind this policy reversal: why did it take so long?We also address the announcement from former Prime Minister Scott Morrison regarding his departure from politics. Morrison's tenure highlights a tumultuous period in Australian political history, marked by controversy, accusations of incompetence, and allegations of corruption. This episode examines Morrison's political journey, the circumstances surrounding his rise to the office of Prime Minister, and the legacy of his leadership. We will discuss the broader implications of his departure for the political landscape in Australia and what it signifies for the future of governance and public service integrity in the country.Join us as we explore these major developments in Australian politics, providing a comprehensive analysis of their immediate impact and long-term consequences for the nation's political discourse and policy direction.

Lower-income Australians are in for some financial relief following Prime Minister Albanese's latest announcement. People earning less than $150,000 stand to benefit from the revamped stage-three tax cuts package, especially those who make between $50,000 and $130,000. Australian correspondent Murray Olds says this modified version of a scheme created by the Morrison Government will ensure people who earn less will get a hand with the increased cost of living.

Cricket Australia has raised a few eyebrows over their decision to sidestep Australia Day celebrations at an upcoming test match.

In 2023 Australia and the United States have taken strong action on climate to accelerate the transition to a global clean energy economy. In May, President Biden and Prime Minister Albanese jointly declared that climate and clean energy are the third pillar of the U.S.-Australia alliance. The Australia-United States Climate, Critical Minerals and Clean Energy Transformation Compact commits our countries to expanding and diversifying clean energy and critical minerals supply chains, to drive innovation and accelerate the establishment of a global clean energy economy. In this panel we discuss the impact of the step change in the US and Australia commitment to collaborate this year and what the expected flow on consequences and opportunities which will flow from the Compact and the enormous public investment flowing into climate technology and deployment.

In this episode of New Politics, we explore the dynamic and ever-evolving landscape of Australia's political, economic, and international affairs.First, we discuss Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's successful visit to China, which has played a crucial role in stabilising the Australia–China relationship. We take a closer look at how this relationship was previously strained by the accusations made by former Prime Minister Scott Morrison and former Defence Minister Peter Dutton, who alleged that China was responsible for the outbreak of COVID-19 and we needed to prepare for war over Taiwan. While it was always expected that the Australia–China relationship would eventually be repaired, it required extensive diplomatic work to remove the tariffs and sanctions imposed by China on Australian exporters. We analyse the significance of these developments and whether the Albanese government is receiving due credit for their efforts.Shifting our focus to the economic front, we assess the political consequences of the thirteenth consecutive interest rate hike since May 2022. With this ongoing trend, there are growing concerns about its implications for Australians, especially those with mortgages and loans. We explore the intricate connection between politics and interest rates in Australia and the challenges that lie ahead for the Labor government in managing this economic issue.In the international arena, we discuss the persistent Gaza bombings by the Israeli military, which have sparked outrage worldwide and the rising death toll, particularly among Palestinian children, has drawn sharp criticism. We analyse the mounting international pressure on the Israeli government and the urgent need for a resolution to this humanitarian crisis.Finally, we inspect the latest Newspoll results, indicating that the Labor government is still leading with a 52 per cent two-party preferred vote, while the Liberal–National Coalition trails at 48 per cent. However, Prime Minister Albanese's high disapproval rating raises some issues about how the next federal elections will be played and consider the implications for the political landscape in Australia. Join us as we navigate the complexities of Australia's current affairs, offering in-depth analysis and insights into the diplomatic triumphs, economic challenges, and leadership dynamics that shape the nation's future.

Join us in this week's podcast as Nucleus Wealth's Chief Investment Officer Damien Klassen and Head of Advice Samuel Kerr revisit the tense relations with our largest trading partner. Prime Minister Albanese is in China this week. The Australia-China trade relationship has been fraught with tension, stemming from a complex interplay of geopolitical rivalry, human rights concerns, and security issues. Australia's push for an inquiry into the origins of COVID-19 and its outspoken criticism of China's actions in Hong Kong and Xinjiang led to diplomatic strains, with China retaliating by imposing tariffs and import restrictions on key Australian exports like barley, wine, and beef. Furthermore, China's increasing assertiveness in the South China Sea and its economic coercion tactics have triggered a defensive response from Australia, leading to calls for diversification of trade partnerships and a reevaluation of reliance on the Chinese market. The once mutually beneficial economic ties now face the challenges of trust deficit and ideological clashes, complicating the prospects of smooth trade relations. ⁠View the presentation slides⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ To listen in podcast form click ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get an obligation-free ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠portfolio recommendation⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to see how we would invest for you Learn more about the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠hosts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Find us on social media: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Want to know more?  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here to Subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Nucleus Wealth is an Australian Investment & Superannuation manager that can help you reach your financial goals through transparent, low-cost, ethically tailored portfolios.

On today's show, Simeon Boikov discusses a remarkable development involving a cardboard drone manufactured in Australia, specifically Melbourne. These drones, priced at $50,000 each, have been utilized in actions against Russian forces within the Kursk zone. Prime Minister Albanese claimed that these drones were intended for humanitarian aid deliveries, despite their deployment in attacks on a Russian airbase. The show also explores speculation about Yevgeny Prigozhin's potential state funeral denial and delves into Australia's increasing militarization. The discussion includes concerns about the rising influx of migrants leading to a housing crisis, with the housing supply-demand gap exacerbated by the government's reluctance to decrease migrant intake. Moreover, the show covers 2GB host Ray Hadley's criticism of a new radio ratings system, suggesting that lackluster content might contribute to the decline in program ratings. For more detailed information, check out the sources: Eurasian Times Article, AeroTime Article, and Telegraph Article, as well as the commentary piece from The Australian and news about 2GB host Ray Hadley. Later, John Larter discusses critical topics: healthcare woes in a town of 10,000 due to sacked paramedics, Clive Palmer funding anti-Telstra action on COVID-19 vaccines, Australia's vulnerability to the Eris variant, and WWE Star Bray Wyatt's COVID-19-related heart complications and passing at 36. GUEST 1 OVERVIEW: Australian born Aussie Cossack rose to prominence during the NSW lockdowns as an outspoken media personality notorious for his hilarious interactions with the NSW police and numerous large scale campaigns against corrupt politicians. Boikov left Australia at the age of 18 to study at the Moscow Sretensky Seminary. It was here that he he had his first posting as a journalist Whilst in Russia Boikov became heavily involved in the Russian Cossack movement. Upon returning to Australia Boikov was elected the Ataman of the Australian Cossack chapter and founded a pro-Russian political newspaper called Russian Frontier. In May of 2022 the Aussie Cossack was jailed for 10 months for breaching a suppression and non-publication order for content posted to his YouTube channel. After successfully winning an appeal against the severity of the sentence Aussie Cossack left prison. In December 2022 the Aussie Cossack defected to the Russian Consulate in Sydney where he was granted diplomatic asylum. From his studio within the Consulate building he now broadcasts daily on TNT Radio. GUEST 2 OVERVIEW: John Larter found himself sacked by NSW Ambulance for failing to comply with a mandatory vaccination order and subsequent policy. As a result he took the Health Minister Brad Hazzard to the NSW Supreme Court to fight what can only be described as medical apartheid. He is passionate about politics and has previously been elected Mayor. He shares a passion for aviation like Graham and holds licences for helicopters and fixed wing aircraft. John teamed up with Drifta in 2022 and opened a store in Tumut. He is married to wife Caitlin(RN) and has six children. John is passionate about serving and answered the call from “Hoody” to assist with the Corakai floods. He has worked in many disasters including assisting with the Bali bombings and our most recent bushfires. John's town of 10,000 can't get adequate ambulance service without borrowing from nearby cities-why? Because they have sacked ambulance staff over the jabs. Imagine an unvaccinated ambulance paramedic giving someone with a heart attack covid 19? That could send them to the hospital!!!

A new green energy agreement with the US, signed by President Biden and Prime Minister Albanese, will allow the Pentagon to fund mining projects in Australia.  It's part of a race to control the energy sources of the future, and associated technologies – everything from computer chips to electric vehicles to advanced weaponry.  So what does this deal mean for our security, as the US tries to match China's progress using Australia's natural resources – and are we getting a good deal? Today, national correspondent for The Saturday Paper Mike Seccombe on the American military's plan to secure our minerals.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi sign two new economic partnership agreements during a bilateral meeting in Sydney this morning [[WEDNESDAY]]. The new migration and labour mobility partnership agreement will make it easier for students and business people to move between Australia and India, while also increasing cooperation to prevent people smuggling. Prime Minister Albanese has also announced the signing of a new Australia / India green hydrogen task force. He says it will ensure their two countries reach global emissions reduction targets. [[" The task force will comprise Australian and Indian experts in renewable hydrogen and report to the Australian Indian ministerial energy dialogue on the opportunities which are there for Australia and India to cooperate in this important area of renewable hydrogen. Investments like the task force will help power our industries in the future. And ensure that Australia and India meet our energy targets in the interests of both our respective countries but also in support of reduction of global emissions."]] ------------ The Indigenous voice referendum is back up for debate in federal parliament today [[WEDNESDAY]]. Parliament is set to vote on the final wording of the referendum question along with the changes to the constitution should the proposal succeed. Opposition leader Peter Dutton says the proposal will re-racialise our nation, a comment that Indigenous Affairs Minister Linda Burney has called disinformation. Deputy Liberal leader, Sussan Ley, denies her party has resorted to scare tactics. [["Absolutely not. Of course, debate should be respectful, and overwhelmingly it is. And we will always call out outliers, who behave in a disrespectful manner, who have divisive language, and who don't treat this referendum in the way that all referenda should be treated in Australia. We will always call that out. But overwhelmingly, I'm pleased to say that people are asking genuine questions. Unfortunately, they're not getting answers."]] ----------- Over 100 Australian academics are calling on the Albanese government to rethink its AUKUS nuclear-powered submarine deal, saying the move risks increasing tensions with China. The letter, states that the deal - which may cost up to $368 billion - is "likely to compound Australia's strategic risks, heighten geopolitical tensions, and undermine efforts at nuclear non-proliferation." Dr Alison Broinowski is an academic and former diplomat for the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, currently serving as the president of Australians for War Powers Reform - an anti-war campaign group. Dr Broinowski is one of the 110 academics to sign the open letter and she says the AUKUS deal could be seen by China as provocation and may lead to an arms race in the region. [["What this does is create a potential arms race in the region and it is a clear signal of aggression from Australia and the United States towards China which eventually the Chinese may feel that they have to respond to."]] ------------ Health Minister Mark Butler has announced that medication for children born with the most common form of dwarfism is covered by the government's Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme ((PBS)) from May 1st. Achondroplasia [[A-kon-dro-PLAY-zha]] is a rare condition which results in impaired bone growth and disproportionately short limbs. The federal government is to list the drug Voxzogo® on the P-B-S to help treat patients with achondroplasia whose growth plates are not yet closed. Without a subsidy, Voxzogo could cost more than $330,000 per year but Minister Butler says the P-B-S listing will allow families with eligible children to have access to the treatment more cheaply. "This is a terrific, exciting new treatment for achondroplasia which is the most common form of dwarfism around the world. We think there are about 140 young Australians who will benefit from this listing every single year. Instead of paying $330,000 a year, this treatment will be available at PBS prices: $30 a script or even $7 for concessional patients." -------- In sport, The Brisbane Lions A-F-L club has come out in support of the Indigenous Voice to Parliament today. The club says they conducted a voluntary survey within their organisation and - after gauging opinions from board members, staff and players - have decided to throw their support behind the proposal. This comes after last week's announcement [[May 18]] that the A-F-L commission would be backing the "yes" campaign in the upcoming referendum. The Lions follow Geelong, Richmond, Essendon, Collingwood and West Coast in publicly supporting the voice and have touted their proud history with Indigenous players. A statement from the club says "we commit to listening, learning and working together to create a Club that respects and welcomes everyone, from our First Peoples to our newest Australians."

Prime Minister Albanese says: It will only affect this group of people; a vast majority have nothing to be concerned about. 99.5% of people will not be affected, it will only affect just under 80 thousand people. The tax alone does not bother me, what I find concerning is the way Albo is telling the nation we don't have to be concerned because it's only this small group that will be affected. We can trust the Government because they are only going after the bad wealthy people. How dare they use the system legally. This is just my opinion.

It's a long way to the top if you want to reform the Australian health system. Prime Minister Albanese has promised an Australian Centre for Disease Control, and it's the subject of our new report ACDC: Highway to health. While the call for an ACDC comes out of the wake of the pandemic, you'd be forgiven for thinking its role is to deal with infection control. But Grattan's report focusses on the ACDC's role to prevent chronic diseases.

Dame Sheila Hancock tells us about her memories of the Queen. Just short of 90, she has lived her life in parallel. Earlier this year she said: "throughout my life, I have been grateful for the Queen's reassuring presence." Julia Gillard, former Australian Prime Minister – and the only woman to have held that role – speaks to Emma about the death of Queen Elizabeth II, and her status as a global female leader. What will it mean for Australia, where King Charles automatically became Head of State last week? The current Labor government there led by Anthony Albanese has previously indicated it wants to hold a referendum on whether to become a republic, though Prime Minister Albanese said on Sunday that “now is not a time to talk about our system of government”. Josephine Hedger has just become the female World Champion Tree Climber – for the fifth time. She joins Emma to chat why she loves braving immense heights at speed – and how it feeds into what she does for a living. Today marks a significant day for women in Hungary. The government has tightened abortion laws in the country, meaning women who want to get an abortion will have to listen to vital signs - such as the foetal heartbeat - before being allowed to proceed. The Prime Minister Viktor Orban has long sought to boost Hungary's flagging birth rate and his right-wing government prides itself in standing for traditional family values. Nick Thorpe, the BBC's East and Central Europe Correspondent explains how the law has changed.

Van Badham and Ben Davison discuss the big issues from the week in parliament, including the first climate legislation in a decade, family and domestic violence leave and the scrapping of the the multi-million dollar grant program to the governor-general's pet foundation, before the historic passing of Queen Elizabeth. Van and Ben - both republicans - discuss why the passing of the Queen is a historic moment, the differences in Australian and British reactions, why Prime Minister Albanese's nuanced understanding of this moment as Australia makes our own way towards recognition & reconciliation was so important on Insiders and how the 73 year old King Charles III may, or may not, take his lifetime of environmental advocacy into his role as King. While the last 70 years have seen a passive and unifying monarch on the throne, Ben and Van remind us that Elizabeth's kingly grandfather was a key player in the First World War, her kingly uncle abdicated while harbouring fascist sympathies and that while the United Kingdom is currently so very troubled it remains to be seen what role King Charles III will take in British life.

This week we speak to Janet Albrechtsen, columnist for The Australian to discuss the 2022 federal election results. Last weekend's election was not so much a big Labor victory, but a massive backlash against the Liberals, especially in Western Australia and metropolitan inner-urban electorates across the nation. The 2022 federal election has not only brought about a change of government but has been one of the most interesting results in Australia's political history. In the days, weeks, and years ahead PM Albanese will need to navigate through a very different parliament. Labor's new minority/majority government faces daunting challenges including climate policy, inflation, rising interest rates, as well as the China threat, and intensifying geopolitical challenges. Will Labor be pushed further by Greens and Independents? Have these results shown that Australia is fed up with our major parties? Why was there such a significant swing against both major parties?

The final assessment is in and the Labor Party has won 77 seats, enough to form government in its own right, without needing the support from the crossbench to pass legislation. But is this the best outcome? The number of crossbenchers has risen to 16 and it would be wise for Labor to engage this substantial group of MPs, and keep that buffer between them and the Liberal and National parties, who are languishing behind with 58 seats.The new Labor Ministry has been finalised and there are 10 women in a Cabinet of 22, and 19 women in the greater Ministry of 41 – eyebrows were raised when Tanya Plibersek was announced as the Minister for Environment, the media quick to claim this was a demotion, but with the environment and climate change issues featuring prominently during the election campaign, isn't it wise to have your best people in the most difficult cabinet positions?And the main message from the Prime Minister Albanese to the Labor Caucus? Don't waste a minute while you're in government, and focus on the many difficult tasks ahead which, based on the amount of Labor MPs were in office during the Rudd–Gillard years between 2010–13, must be a reference to the division and Labor naval gazing which ultimately threw away hard-earned government, and gave it to an inept Liberal–National government for nine long years.And if Labor shows the competence that has been so lacking during the past nine years of Coalition rule, it should be office for some time into the future – governments since 1932 have been rewarded with a second term but, of course, it's hard to predict what the future holds, and the issues that overcome the Coalition, could easily afflict Labor in government, if they're not careful enough and diligent enough to focus on the important issues that affect people's lives.But when stumped for a response, it's always best to channel Billy Bragg. Albanese continued his cultural references from his youth to provide guidance, this time a quote from “To Have and To Have Not”: ‘Just because you're going forwards, doesn't mean I'm going backwards”. Keep the red flag flying comrade, this is socialism of the heart.The Liberal Party has new leadership – Peter Dutton and Sussan Ley – but it's an unspectacular duo and seems more like a collection of placeholders and seat warmers, rather than the people who can provide a vision and dynamic for an election winning formula in 2025 and beyond. Newly installed leaders just after an election loss rarely survive by the time of the next election, although the current Prime Minister – Anthony Albanese – is the only one to have survived and gone on to win their first election as leader. So, it can be done, but will it? Dutton wants to be seen as a renaissance man, but he's a clear link between the Howard, Abbott and Morrison eras, and the electorate just voted out that style of government. It will be a long road back into office for the Liberal Party and it's best that they use this time wisely and embark on the reform that they've neglected for at least the past 15 years.And if new leadership is good enough for the Liberal Party, it's good enough for the National Party, who have chosen David Littleproud as their new leader, dumping Barnaby Joyce, who returned to the leadership in early 2021 for reasons which might be only apparent to himself.

Labor has a majority in the new parliament and Prime Minister Albanese has many challenges. How will he govern and what challenges are coming his government's way?Meanwhile, what is to become of the former PM and how does a weakened Coalition become an effective Opposition. The Two Jacks have the answers.
