It’s something Pauline Hanson has been eyeing for years – and on the weekend, she finally got it: a seat in the lower house.

Her candidate for Farrer, David Farley, did even better than expected: he was elected on 57 per cent of the vote. 

It changes things not just for Pauline Hanson and One Nation, but for the country. 

Today, contributing editor for The New Daily, Amy Remeikis, on the power of populism right now, and what One Nation wants next.

Tim Tams and Tiny Teddies aren’t usually the stuff federal court cases are made of, but product by product, dollar by dollar, the ACCC has been building its case against supermarket giants Coles and Woolies over what it claims were fake discounts.

Now, both cases have wrapped and the judge is reviewing the evidence. 

With inflation and grocery prices soaring, the timing couldn’t be more crucial.

Today, Chief Economist at the Australia Institute, Greg Jericho on the case against the supermarket giants, and its implications for Australian shoppers.

Did Coles and Woolies con customers?

The first week of hearings at the Royal Commission into Antisemitism and Social Cohesion opened with Jewish Australians describing what life now feels like.

Jewish community groups say reported antisemitic incidents in Australia have surged since October 7.

But the commission is not only hearing about what’s happened. It’s also being asked to answer a difficult question: what counts as antisemitism  – and where is the line between political speech, criticism of Israel, and hatred directed at Jews?

Today, historian of modern Jewish life and culture David Slucki, who leads Monash University’s research into antisemitism, on how antisemitism should be understood, measured and responded to.

“Children saying heil Hitler”: What we’ve learned from the antisemitism hearings

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/c1bf96ad-1673-4f33-98b5-b444004eddba/transcript

Last year – after months of pressure over youth crime, and claims the system had become too soft – Victoria passed what it proudly called the toughest bail laws in the country.

At the time, legal and human rights experts warned the laws would put more children in custody and disproportionately affect First Nations people.

Now, the Allan government is doubling down. In this week’s state budget, it said bail refusals were at record highs – and promised more money for corrections, faster youth crime hearings and a rewrite of sentencing laws.

But the deeper question hasn’t changed: should bail be a right or a tool for crime prevention?

Today, we’re returning to Daniel James’ conversation with legal academic Professor Marilyn McMahon on how media pressure and politics are reshaping bail – and what that means for justice.

This episode was originally published in March, 2025.
