- Most people don’t have trusts, or multiple houses: Bill Shorten on the budget’s tax changes
- Runtime

- Description
- We’re officially in our budget backlash era, with claims of death taxes, of aspirations killed, and the outraged cries of crypto bros across the nation. Not to mention, of course, the genuine anxiety from regular small business owners and shareholders who are unsure of how all of these changes will affect them.
Our guest this week is former Labor opposition leader Bill Shorten, who is now the vice chancellor of the University of Canberra. Shorten knows a thing or two about such backlash, having taken changes to negative gearing and the capital gains tax to not one, but two elections — 2016 and 2019.
Hosting today’s conversation is Jacqueline Maley, alongside chief political correspondent Paul Sakkal.

To tackle all these issues and inside mail are Sydney Morning Herald league reporters Christian Nicolussi and Adrian Prosenko, and Nine's Zac Bailey.

- On April 21, 1976, six bandits raided the Victoria Club where Melbourne’s biggest bookies were settling their accounts with cash. No one knows the exact figure, but the take was supposed to be in the vicinity of $15 million.
Just after the armed robbery, and a few kilometres away at a pub in the suburb of Windsor, Greg Carroll was meeting his brother, Ian Revell Carroll.
Greg remembers the smirk on his brother’s face when news of the robbery broke while they tucked into lunch.
What he didn’t know was that his brother was one of the six bandits behind one of Australia’s most notorious, and successful, heists.

- Description
- Melbourne’s nightlife industry has been beset by violent crimes for much of this year.
Under the cover of night, well-known venues - including an iconic French restaurant - have been targeted.
What makes this series of connected crimes interesting is the motive remains a mystery.
Some club owners have received an ominous message before an attack, but with no demand attached.
Also notable is the sheer number of teenagers, some as young as 13 years old, recruited over an encrypted messaging app to carry out the crimes.
Our episode today, with crime journalists Chris Vedelago and Carla Jaegar, is guest-hosted by Benjamin Preiss.

- Social media was once harnessed by Barack Obama to spread hope. Now “angertainers” are exploiting our human instinct to seek threat to divide society and to build their own cultural, political and social capital, often based on misinformation and lies.
They create content for platforms that reward stunts, insults and anger – in the process, distorting reality and hijacking any possibility of a considered debate.
In this episode of Good Weekend Talks, Ed Coper, author of Angertainment: How Social Media Outrage Ruined Everything, explains how and why that happens, why you can't stop clicking on things that make you angry – and what we can all do about it. This conversation is hosted by Good Weekend senior writer Greg Callaghan.

In the senate, One Nation leader Pauline Hanson launched a fiery crusade against tax hikes, Labor’s $250 income offset and the “Canberra bubble” before having her budget reply speech cut off mid-sentence for exhausting her allocated speaking time. #news #video #australia #world #youtube #subscribe #paulinehanson #angustaylor #liberalparty #onenation #auspol #australiannews #federalbudget

- Description
- The federal budget was pitched as a big moment for a progressive government that wants to equalise wealth and home ownership.
And one of the main attacks from the opposition is that Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has had to break a promise in order to get there.
So will the broken promise line resonate if the changes are broadly supported by the public?
Also today, Inside Politics host Jacqueline Maley and chief political correspondent Paul Sakkal talk about Coalition leader Angus Taylor’s plan to centre immigration in his budget reply speech, including that non-citizens should be blocked from welfare payments.
We also check in on One Nation’s Farrer by-election win and how significant a threat the party now poses to Labor.

- Description
- A couple of months ago we held a night for subscribers to The Age and Sydney Morning Herald, a conversation with John Silvester, hosted by crime and justice reporter Erin Pearson.
We recorded the whole thing and so for today’s episode, we bring you this special episode with Sly.
In the conversation, Sly shared how he became a journalist and then all the highlights from his long career – from the gangland war in Melbourne and his dealings with Carl Williams, how a Christmas card from Mark "Chopper" Read sparked a long relationship, and what was so different about Erin Patterson, who was convicted - and since appealed - of the notorious mushroom murder case.
You too can have access to nights like this by becoming a subscriber. (https://subscribe.theage.com.au/?promote_channel=PR_AGEP_YDTKC&utm_source=TheAgeNewspaper&utm_medium=Print&utm_campaign=YDTKConversion)

Today, we bring you an early episode of The Morning Edition from Parliament House in Canberra, with senior economics correspondent Shane Wright.
