The 2025/26 Budget (Direct From The Lock-Up)

Going it alone this week, Dana covers Nationals Leader David Littleproud's resignation from the top job that seems to have blindsided just about everyone.

She also looks at the National Anti-Corruption Commission, which investigated 6 public servants, including former Prime Minister Scott Morrison, for their involvement in the disastrous Robodebt Scheme. Two of the six public servants have been found to have engaged in serious corrupt conduct; however, they will not be referred to face criminal charges.

Zoe takes Dana and Bernie through the Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion and some of its issues.

Dana covers the bomb threat against Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and religious dance troupe Shen Yun that led to the PM being briefly evacuated from the Lodge on Tuesday night.

Finally, Bernie discusses the relationship between Pride in Protest and Protect Mardi Gras, and whether the police should be able to participate in Mardi Gras at all.
