We spoke to Bill about a whole range of things from how current Treasurer Jim Chalmers is a shameless plagiarist who has pawned Bill's signature policy ideas off as his own, such as putting the dog up property investors and making tech start up guys quiver in their sneakers. Also returning money to workers and other woke rubbish like that designed to be divisive. As much as Bill wanted to let sleeping dogs lie, we didn't let him. Espeically on the university sector, now that he's compromised by being a Chancellor of the so-called Canberra Uni that they call a university.

With the budget backlash era moving on to something like begrudged resignation, or budget fatigue, we’re expecting Treasurer Jim Chalmers to soon make a few announcements around the tax changes. While this bubbles along, the only story in politics continues to be One Nation. Inside Politics host Jacqueline Maley and chief political correspondent Paul Sakkal debate whether the media and the near-daily reporting on polls are driving more support or exaggerating Pauline Hanson’s true popularity in Australia. Outside of this, the hard-right party purportedly raised $1.5 million in a single day via a crowd-funding campaign called Fire the Liar. And the Coalition is squabbling over whether to preference One Nation in the next federal election, which is still two years away. In the meantime, Labor by way of Foreign Minister Penny Wong says in the face of chaos, the government wants to go back to basics and focus on health, education and all the policies it says the other parties are lacking in.Subscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the Federal Budget for 2026-27, delivered by Treasurer Jim Chalmers on Tuesday, May 12, total Overseas Development Assistance (ODA) for Nepal has further shrunk compared to previous years. The total aid, which stands at $25.4 million (budget estimate) in the current year 2025-26, has been reduced to $23.7 million (budget estimate) for the year 2026-27. What does this consistent decline in ‘Australian Aid' in the post-COVID years signify? In the third part of our conversation with Felicity Volk, former Australian Ambassador to Nepal, we discuss Australia's foreign aid policy, the influence the Nepali diaspora can exert on Australian politics, the expertise of the Nepal Army, and the potential roles Nepal could play in the context of Australia's relations with India and China. Volk spoke to SBS Nepali after her appointment last year to the Board of Directors of the Australian Himalayan Foundation, a charity working in Nepal and the Himalayan region.
