- The Swans are in turmoil and North Melbourne are finishing the season strongly. Collingwood’s kids have delivered, but can they take it up to the mighty Brisbane Lions? Fremantle have nothing to play for, and a number of clubs are looking to give their battered stars a rest before the wildcard games and finals. It’s the final round of the home and away season, and while the AFL’s top 10 might be locked in, AFL tipping competitions across Australia are going down to the wire. Andrew Wu and Peter Ryan are on hand to help make sense of it all.

- For more than 600,000 Kmart applicants each year, the CV is dead. In its place, people seeking jobs at the national retail chain face an AI screening tool that promises to offer personalised feedback, bias-free assessments and – perhaps most importantly for the company – speed.
But as experts and politicians warn that AI hiring tools risk entrenching biases and locking unorthodox candidates out of the job market, this masthead decided to test the Kmart tool. #kmart #ai #aichatbot #jobapplication

- Another scandal involving an alleged sexual assault has erupted in the AFL.
One player from the Sydney Swans football team was spoken to by police after an alleged sexual assault said to have taken place in the early hours of Monday.
Today, The Age’s chief AFL writer, Jake Niall, discusses what's known, and not known, about what's unfolded.
And, just a note, we're not suggesting the players are under investigation by police, just that they are assisting with their inquiries.

- Scott Pendlebury has played more AFL games than anyone, all for Collingwood, but Michael Gleeson, Jake Niall and Caroline Wilson identify the rival club where he might get a swansong and why it would make sense. In a remarkable round of football, we got two draws at the weekend - Hawthorn vs Collingwood and the Western Bulldogs vs Carlton. And with the wildcard matches looming, there’s plenty going on in the AFL for our podcasters to talk about.

He has four decades' experience in the media, including time in the parliamentary press gallery. In his new book, Three Shocks: Who We Are Becoming in the 21st Century, he looks at the seismic changes underway that will influence all of us in the coming decades. He joins Good Weekend Talks today for a chat about immigration – long an interest of his, as the son of Greek migrants – along with the feminisation of the workforce, and the unreliability of both our great ally in the United States, and our great trading partner in China. Hosting this conversation is Good Weekend senior writer Gay Alcorn.

- We’re back to talking about melons and the podcast interview that continues to cause dramas for the prime minister.
Six weeks ago, Anthony Albanese appeared on a podcast called ‘Bush Deep’ and was asked about the worst gift he received. Melons, he replied, gifted to him by Japanese prime minister.
What was said, and not said, has become the focus of attacks from the media, the Coalition and One Nation this week.
So why has the issue reared its head again? And is it affecting Albanese’s reputation or are the Coalition and co over-egging it?
While all this was going on, the main game for the government was economic management.
Rates were placed on hold, but the Reserve Bank boss Michelle Bullock reminded everyone that she’d raise them if she had to. It comes as all the big banks forecast further drop-offs in house values – aren’t more affordable homes what we want? Or are the government's tax changes wreaking havoc o...

- In a win that has sent shockwaves through the Democratic Party, an unabashedly left-wing epidemiologist has been chosen as the Democrat nominee to fight for a senate seat in Michigan in November.
Some see it as a desperate move at a time when the Republican Party is moving full steam ahead to prosecute opponents such as Dr Anthony Fauci, Joe Biden's former COVID tsar, who was browbeaten just over a week ago in a heated Senate hearing.
Today, North America correspondent Michael Koziol discusses why Democrats are gambling their ability to regain power in November on an insurgent who has argued for the US to cut military aid to Israel. And why Republicans are grilling Fauci on his decisions during the COVID pandemic.

- How are we going to live here? Australia’s climate adaptation crisis

- Description
- For decades, global climate debates have centred on mitigation—cutting emissions, phasing out coal, and transitioning to renewable energy. But even if global emissions stopped today, extreme heatwaves, catastrophic flooding, and rising sea levels are already locked into our lifetimes.
In this video, we investigate Australia's urgent need for climate adaptation. From residents rebuilding flood-proof homes in Northern NSW after devastating 2022 deluges, to Western Sydney suburbs facing severe urban heat island effects, and Darwin confronting dangerous limits of human liveability —we explore the frontlines of climate reality and ask the critical question: How do we adapt?

- Maria Ressa on journalism, the new internet, and AI ‘strip-mining our humanity’

- Description
- Maria Ressa is one of the most celebrated journalists in the world. Born in Manila in 1963, she moved with her family to the US, studying at Princeton University before returning to the Philippines to forge a career covering the growth of terrorism in South East Asia. In 2012, she co-founded online news site Rappler, distinguishing herself as a fearless defender of freedom of expression while standing up to an authoritarian regime infamous for, among other things, its campaign against journalists. Ressa’s bravery earned her the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize for journalism, and she’s visiting Australia to speak on August 23 at the Festival of Dangerous Ideas (https://festivalofdangerousideas.com/program/weapons-of-mass-distraction/) in Sydney. She joins us for a chat about the threat to democracy from disinformation, and the responsibility we all share to tease fact from fiction in the age of AI – a conversation hosted by Good Weekend senior writer Tim Elliott.
