Two years ago, some of our colleagues had the idea to start a show about books. The result was Read This – a weekly podcast about the books we love and the stories behind them. In each episode, host Michael Williams speaks to an author about their work and their life. 

It’s a favourite show of everyone on the 7am team and as it finishes up as a Schwartz Media podcast, we wanted to pay tribute to our colleagues who make this show so special.

It’s a controversial proposal – immigration based on blatant discrimination.

Opposition leader Angus Taylor has laid out the beginnings of the Liberal Party’s hard line migration policy in a provocative speech in Canberra.

Some of his proposals had echoes of Donald Trump, others of John Howard – as he made a play for One Nation’s growing pool of lapsed Liberal voters. 

So what does it all mean? And will his bold move on migration pay off at the polls?

Today, press gallery journalist Karen Middleton on the Liberal Party’s controversial new migration policy.

Migrants draining the nation: Angus Taylor's hard line immigration plan

Israel has passed a new law allowing for the execution of Palestinians convicted of deadly attacks.

The law passed through the country’s parliament despite opposition from Israeli and international human rights groups, as well as the governments of the UK, Germany, France and Italy.

Israel’s national doctors’ union has refused to carry out lethal injections, meaning those sentenced under the law would face death by hanging.

The government says the law will deter future Palestinian attacks. Some right-wing Israeli politicians wore noose-shaped pins in parliament as it was debated.

Today, Israeli journalist Amira Hass, who lives in the West Bank and writes for Haaretz, on capital punishment, settler violence and the expansion of settlements in Palestine.

More than a decade after he retired from AFL, John Barnes collapsed without warning and began having seizures.

The former Essendon and Geelong ruckman says years of head knocks left him with epilepsy, memory problems, and a life he barely recognised.

Now, as a growing class action takes on the AFL over concussion, Barnes is speaking about the damage he says the game caused – and the accountability he still wants.
