One in three people living in Australia right now were born overseas. It's one of the highest proportions in the world. And right now, every political party has a very different idea about whether that number should go up, down, or stay the same. 

Today we're breaking down the current migration figures, why the debate over immigration is dominating headlines, and what the different sides of politics have to say about it.

Hosts: Elliot Lawry and Sam Koslowksi

Why Australia's immigration debate is back

A few days ago, Australia was the only continent in the world to have avoided the deadly H5 bird flu strain. After years spent watching this virus devastate wildlife populations and agricultural sectors from afar, everything changed on Saturday when the Government confirmed bird flu has finally arrived on our shores. In today’s deep dive, we explain why you should care, and what this actually means for our wildlife, for your food bill, and your health.

Hosts: Emma Gillespie and Zara Seidler
Producer: Orla Maher

Headlines: Govt signs $2.5b defence deal w. Canada 

Today we're talking about something that's pretty much unavoidable at the moment: tax. Specifically, tax as it relates to investing. End of financial year is almost here, and if you've got investments, or bought and sold shares since July last year, this is the moment those two worlds run into each other.

This podcast was produced with insights from CommSec. However, everything we talk about was researched and written by us, and the content remains entirely independent. For more information on tax time, head to CommSec. Investing carries risks.
