From high-stakes ICAC hearings and federal assault charges to regime changes in Victoria and a $600 million Commonwealth Games hangover—what is really driving the headlines this week? 

In this episode of The Week That Was, Brent is joined by Mark Latham for their weekly no-holds-barred deep dive into the biggest stories dominating Australian politics and current affairs. We unpack the explosive NSW Liberal Party corruption inquiry, whether leaks should be a criminal offence, Federal MP Luke Gosling's court battle, Ben Carroll taking over as Victorian Premier, the NDIS crackdown, and why taxpayers are still furious over the abandoned Commonwealth Games.


The ICAC Liberal Inquiry: Examining the allegations of branch stacking and prohibited donations facing the NSW Liberal Party's "Reformers" faction.


The Leak Debate: Should confidential information leaking from corruption investigations before public hearings become a criminal offence?


Luke Gosling’s Legal Battle: Breaking down the assault charges facing the Federal Labor MP after an alleged incident with NT Administrator David Connolly.


Victorian Regime Change: Is Ben Carroll's ascension to Premier genuine renewal, or just a new face on a tired government?


NDS Overhaul: Why the government is cracking down on controversial funding for golf lessons, horse therapy, and house decluttering.


Closing the Gap Failures: Asking whether it's time for a completely different strategy after data shows only four of nineteen national targets are on track.


The Commonwealth Games Irony: Celebrating our athletes' dominance in Glasgow while questioning why taxpayers are still footing a $600 million bill for Victoria's cancelled event.

If you want unfiltered political commentary and the stories behind the headlines, this is the deep dive you need.
