Podcasts about Royal commission

As Australia begins its royal commission into antisemitism and social cohesion, new research by the Pew Centre shows we're one of the most religiously diverse countries in the world. There's no longer a majority religion, meaning many faiths have found a place. It's a finding that might surprise those who expected that much bigger countries, such as the United States or India, might claim the title. Yunping Tong was a senior researcher on the Pew team.When, and why, does criticism of Israel often descend into antisemitic tropes? How do you build a free Palestine and a secure, truly democratic Israel? Guardian columnist Jonathon Freedland has spent a quarter of century making the case for Jewish and Palestinian partnership. He's also the author of a new book about resisters in Nazi Germany, titled The Traitors' Circle. He's in Australia with The Jewish Independent and the New Israel Fund.GUESTS:Yunping Tong is a senior researcher at the Pew Research Center in Washington DCJonathon Freedland is a Guardian columnist and former foreign correspondent

In this Garage edition of The Court of Public Opinion, Jeremy Cordeaux reflects on the growing reach of the program and the strong audience response across Auscast platforms, while delivering sharp commentary on the federal and state political landscape ahead of upcoming elections. Jeremy discusses the South Australian election campaign, questioning why ambulance ramping — once a major political issue — is no longer front and centre, despite worsening conditions. He also explores policy ideas such as stamp duty relief to encourage downsizing, which he believes could improve housing availability. The episode then moves to global economic and political developments, including Europe’s shift in electric vehicle policy and concerns over Chinese manufacturing dominance. Jeremy also raises alarm about rising private health insurance premiums and calls for reforms such as making private health insurance tax deductible to keep the system affordable and sustainable. A major focus of the discussion is the cost-of-living crisis, with real wages falling behind inflation, rising electricity and insurance costs, and declining living standards. Jeremy argues that many Australians feel worse off despite official economic statistics suggesting otherwise. The program also addresses CFMEU corruption allegations, political donations and the challenges of Royal Commissions, before turning to national security concerns around the possible return of ISIS-linked families to Australia. Jeremy strongly questions the risks and the political motivations behind the debate. This wide-ranging episode delivers strong views on immigration, assimilation, economic management, union influence and public safety, encouraging listeners to engage in open discussion ahead of the election year. Topics Discussed: Audience growth and Auscast reach South Australian election campaign Ambulance ramping and healthcare system Stamp duty incentives for downsizing Housing supply and affordability European EV policy and Chinese manufacturing Germany and electric vehicle strategy Private health insurance premium rises Government regulation of insurers Tax deductibility of private health insurance Real wages vs inflation Cost-of-living crisis Electricity and insurance costs Declining standard of living CFMEU corruption and political donations Royal Commission limitations Union influence in politics National security and ISIS families Temporary exclusion orders Immigration and assimilation debate Multiculturalism vs assimilation Political motivations and voter demographics Ukraine war anniversary Historical and cultural reflections See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Do you think there is anyone in New Zealand who believes the Government's line that it's a coincidence the findings of its inquiry into the Reserve Bank's COVID-19 response will be released a few weeks before the election? As the NZ Herald's political editor, Thomas Coughlan, puts it: the inquiry will ask the right questions at the wrong time. Because this has election campaigning written all over it. The official line is that the review is being done to “identify any lessons New Zealand could learn to improve the response to future major events”. But how credible is that, given the findings of the inquiry will be released just weeks before this year's election? Not very, according to Labour leader Chris Hipkins, who's saying today: “If this is a genuinely independent review that provides some lessons learned, it could be useful. But doing it right in the middle of an election campaign suggests that's not Nicola Willis' primary motivation here.” And he's spot on. Because it's not. The Government's primary motivation is to spend half a million dollars of taxpayer money on a report that is going to come out at the pointy end of the election campaign, which will do one of two things. It will either rip into the Reserve Bank in the way the Government hopes it will. So it can then say to voters, “do you really want the last lot who let the Reserve Bank get away with this trainwreck back in charge of the economy?” Or, the report will be a bit soft - not quite what the Government wants - but will still give it bragging rights about looking to learn from past mistakes. Unlike Labour, who it will accuse of not having the guts to front up to the COVID-19 Royal Commission of Inquiry. So it's going to be a win-win - especially for National. I think this would have way more credibility if the Government had come out yesterday and said it was launching the inquiry but the findings wouldn't be released until after the election. For the benefit of whoever the government of the day is after the election. If it had done that, I would have had no problem with the timing. Instead, this inquiry - which, in itself, is fully justified - is at risk of looking like nothing more than taxpayers coughing-up for the National Party's election campaign.

Listeners! We are long overdue for a news episode but this one dated bloody quickly - that being said, it's not completely pointless and there's plenty of meat left in this sandwich. Just pretend it's last week and be all like 'oooh I wonder what version of this bill will pass'. We will probably do something more concrete to follow up next week. Lots to discuss here.Anyway, this week we look at the big bad omnibus bill and the Royal Commission which had to happen because Wayne Carey and Sam Newman said so.We look at Brendan Nicholls, a good bloke having a bad week who is completely misunderstood and really just a great guy that works at Bunnings.Tommy Robinson accidentally reveals his sexual proclivities which are slightly at odds with his public grievances. Oh Tommy, you really Yaxleyed your Lennons on this one.And we have MAN LIVING IN BODY for SovCits. Does putting that in all caps turn his sassy title into a strawman? Probably. He needs to pony up a TFN for an inheritance - and he's working very hard not to get a lot of free money. He is an idiot.We have a new segment - Kill Count - where we compare and contrast Musk and RFK Jr.'s efforts to kill as many people as possible.And Babet is having a meltdown. As usual.
