- Description
- This week, most of the NRL chat has been about Jarome Luai. The morning after the West Tigers lost to the North Queensland Cowboys, Luai was on a plane to PNG.
The Tigers' marquee player met with the PNG prime minister, and opened a golf tournament, before he visited a Pepsi factory, a brand of which he's the face.
The problem was, Tigers officials didn't know about the trip until videos and photos were posted to social media of their $1.2 million-a-year man.
Luai won't join the PNG team until 2028, so how does this flying visit stack up against his commitments to his current team? And how much of a distraction will the PNG issue be for the Parramatta Eels – Luai's team next season?
We also talk about Jett Cleary's debut on the weekend for the Warriors, and now he's been released to join Penrith next year, could he play alongside his champion brother Nathan Cleary?

- Fashion designer John Galliano announced yesterday that he would step away from being honoured with a retrospective at next year’s illustrious Met Gala, the so-called Oscars of the fashion world.
Many had hailed Galliano as one of modern history's most important fashion designers, but he was also, as fashion insider Amy Odell puts it, "the industry's most famous antisemite”.
Today Odell, author of Anna, a biography of former Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, and the host of The Back Row podcast, talks about whether Galliano’s cancellation was fair and if it was a wider rebuke to an industry known for tolerating bad behaviour.

- Description
- Australian journalist Jonathan Swan, a White House reporter for The New York Times, is perhaps best known for his hard-hitting interviews with US President Donald Trump. Most famous was his August 2020 exchange with Trump, in which Swan's real-time fact-checking (and incredulous facial expressions) while listening to the president's muddled assertions earned the then 35-year-old reporter an Emmy award. Now Swan has teamed up with fellow Times journalist and Trump expert Maggie Haberman to write "Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump". It's a withering behind-the-scenes look at how Trump has consolidated executive power in his second term, stripping away institutional checks and balances while padding the bank accounts of his family.
Swan, who is the son of ABC broadcaster Dr Norman Swan and a former reporter with The Sydney Morning Herald, speaks with Good Weekend senior writer Greg Callaghan about what like to be face-to-face with, as Swan describes, the...

- This week we reported on some interesting polling that grappled with what makes One Nation voters tick, and one issue stood out.
There’s also been an argy-bargy in the party this week over immigration numbers, the net result of which being, perhaps, that One Nation is not totally against migration.
Meanwhile, the Labor government is yet to announce its migration plan and which visa classes it may cut, but the early talk of deportation of migrants sent shockwaves through some communities.
Finally, we also talk about the AI data centres cropping up in Australian communities. Are they worth the investment and the energy drain?

Reynolds has been battling a calf-injury, but completed a vital training session on Monday. The decision to deny Reynolds a final appearance has not gone down well with supporters or teammates and has thrust the spotlight back on Maguire and his relationship with the playing group.
Plus, after eight wins in a row and being touted as premiership favourites by some pundits, the Roosters were beaten by bottom-of-the-table dwellers the Wests Tigers last weekend. So are they the real deal? And is this the hiccup they needed before the finals?

- ASIO’s new secret spy powers are extraordinary

- Description
- Our domestic spy agency copped a lot of criticism in December after the Bondi Beach massacre for failing to prevent the attack.
But is the answer expanded powers?
A bill passed in parliament last week is proposing just that – laws that force suspects to answer questions, or face a jail sentence. (https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/oppressive-why-this-liberal-senator-crossed-the-floor-on-expanding-asio-powers-20260824-p60qvc.html?utm_source=omny&utm_medium=podcast_notes&utm_campaign=the_morning_edition&utm_content=&utm_term=newsroom)
Today national security correspondent Matthew Knott talks about the new expanded powers of ASIO and the politicians arguing they amount to a breach of our rights.

- Description
- It's a shameful time for the Sydney Swans. Michael Gleeson says the latitude given to their players has been an open secret among rival clubs, while Caroline Wilson and Peter Ryan say the Swans have lost the moral superiority they once carried because of the behaviour of five players at East Melbourne's Pullman Hotel.
The Swans are also set to lose a key off-field figure, with Mark McVeigh poised to become Essendon coach, beating his former teammate James Hird to the job in charge of the wooden spooners.

- Description
- Chanel Contos is a young Sydney woman who, five years ago, made headlines after she collated and published the testimonies of thousands of women and girls about instances of sexual assault they’d experienced. (https://www.smh.com.au/national/it-started-on-instagram-now-chanel-s-petition-is-leading-a-sex-education-revolution-20210305-p5780k.html?utm_source=omny&utm_medium=podcast_notes&utm_campaign=the_morning_edition&utm_content=&utm_term=newsroom)
Many had made allegations they’d been assaulted by teenage boys who went to some of Sydney’s most elite private schools.
So have things changed, since then? Judging by the last week or so with allegations of sexual assault made against boys from two separate schools, and then the Sydney Swans, perhaps not.
Today, sexual consent activist and author Chanel Contos on elite schools, sports, and boys.

- Description
- Think of Myf Warhurst and the word “bubbly” might spring to mind. With everything the radio and TV personality does – from Spicks and Specks to the Eurovision Song Contest or her documentary, The Truth about Menopause – Warhurst is known as the ray of sunshine, the nice one (she’s even the voice of Aunt Trixie, and Indy’s Mum, on Bluey). But she’s no longer playing nice. In a new book, she’s taken on the patriarchy. And she’s angry. In this episode of Good Weekend Talks, Warhurst talks about everything from creepy men to Karens, from Gen X to coercive control, as well as the enviable matriarchal society of bonobo monkeys. This conversation is hosted by Good Weekend senior writer Melissa Fyfe.

- Tony Wright on the best and worst prime ministers, and the courage needed now

- Description
- Today we have something special and a little bit different because Tony Wright, one of the stalwarts of Australian political writing, is stepping back from daily newsroom duties after 50 years in journalism.
For about 30 of these years, Tony reported on federal politics. Bob Hawke was the first prime minister he covered, while Paul Keating often rang Tony at home in the mornings to, at first, berate, and then debate, the stories he had written.
He witnessed great moments - such as the apology to the stolen generations - and the fracturing of Australian politics from the Rudd-Gillard era.
Today, Tony talks to Inside Politics host Jacqueline Maley and chief political correspondent Paul Sakkal.
