Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been accused of directly asking  former Qantas CEO Alan Joyce for free, undisclosed flight upgrades. The allegation has been detailed in a new book by former Australian Financial Review (AFR) columnist Joe Aston.  The Opposition has said it will consider setting up a Senate Inquiry into the matter, while the PM has suggested the claims come from a “person who is trying to sell a book”.

A new report into the Federal Government’s response to COVID-19 has found it wasn’t “adequately prepared” for a pandemic.

It also found that public trust in government has been eroded, and that more transparency around decisions made during a health emergency is needed.

Plus, it has recommended Australia establish a new Centre for Disease Control. 

You can access the full report here.

In the last week, two major U.S. newspapers have announced they won’t endorse a candidate for the U.S. presidential election. It’s a huge departure from the way legacy media has traditionally approached elections, and has called into question the billionaire ownership of the LA Times and the Washington Post. In today's podcast, we discuss what the decision could mean for the media and editorial independence moving forward.

In today’s deep dive, we’ll take a look at the massive Richard White scandal, and what it could mean for one of Australia's most prolific publicly listed companies.
