It was a budget framed around fairness for workers and for young people locked out of the housing market. 

Treasurer Jim Chalmers’ fifth budget restricts negative gearing – though not for anyone who was already doing it – while also promising to increase housing supply and deliver a $250 tax cut for workers.

Today, press gallery journalist Karen Middleton, on what the Treasurer is promising - and whether it delivers.

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.

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

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.

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.
