In 2018, our newspapers published a story titled ‘SAS soldier accused of killing innocent villager'. It was the first of many articles, which eventually identified Australia's most decorated living soldier Ben Roberts-Smith, and accused him of multiple murders of unarmed civilians.  Roberts-Smith proceeded to sue our newspapers - in what's become known as the defamation trial of the century. It went for more than 100 days, and examined more than 40 witnesses. And on Thursday, a judgement was finally delivered.  Federal Court Justice Anthony Besanko ruled overwhelmingly for our newspapers, finding Roberts-Smith was, on the balance of probabilities, a murderer, a war criminal, a bully, a liar, and a disgrace to his country and the Australian military.  Today, the journalists who broke these stories, Nick McKenzie and Chris Masters, join Tory Maguire to discuss what it took to win the biggest defamation case in Australia's history - and what this victory means for journalism.Subscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, David Crowe and Shane Wright join host Tory Maguire to discuss what the budget will do to ease the economic pressures, who it will help, and what it can tell us about Labor's priorities. #breakingnews #news #budget2023 #auspol #australia #finance #budgetSubscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Booker Prize winning author Salman Rushdie thankfully survived a horrific stabbing attack in New York last weekend, although with permanent damage to his sight and body, and surely his sense of security. It is hard to imagine what life has been life for the Indian born British-American in the 34 years that have passed since his novel The Satanic Verses was banned in many Muslim countries and the Supreme Leader of Iran, the Ayatollah Khomeini, issued a fatwa ordering Rushdie's execution. In the days since the attack by a 24-year-old New York local, the Iranian government has denied any connection to the stabbing. Today on Please Explain, Tory Maguire is joined by The Age columnist Julie Szego to discuss how Salman Rushdie has evolved from standing up to Islamic fundamentalism to resisting a brand new threat: cancel culture. Subscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New polling from Resolve Strategic exclusively for our mastheads has revealed more than half of voters expect their income to fall in real terms this year. The polling, which showed just 12 per cent of voters expect their personal income will increase above the rate of inflation, sets up an election fight over the cost of living.  Outside parliament, the government's slow response to issues that impact women like equality and domestic violence has done little to change the perception. Today on Please Explain, executive editor Tory Maguire joins Nathaneal Cooper to look at the latest Resolve Strategic polling and the disquiet around the economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic. Also today, we launch a new segment for Please Explain. Europe faces its greatest geo-political crisis since the second world war as Russian president Vladimir Putin sends troops into parts of Eastern Ukraine.

It's been two years since Australia first recorded a case of COVID-19, but there's still a lot we don't know about the virus itself. On Christmas Day, Australia had recorded a cumulative total of 300,594 coronavirus cases. Last week, that number climbed to 1.95 million infections. The scale of new infections has stretched graphs so far upward it looks like the first two years of the pandemic simply did not happen. Despite this, the number of people in hospital suffering from COVID-19 is relatively stable, and this morning we've woken to headlines declaring the worst is over. Today on Please Explain, national science reporter Liam Mannix joins executive editor Tory Maguire to explain what the new phase of the coronavirus pandemic means, and if there'll ever be an end to it.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has taken a battering from voters over his handling of the pandemic during a time of heightened anxiety over the Omicron strain and fury over the home testing kit shortage. Voters used to say Morrison and the Coalition were listening to them and focused on the right issues.

Away from the pandemic the global climate change crisis has come even more in focus with the damning report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released this week and tensions between global superpowers become increasingly fraught.
