  • Too many ads

    I like this PC but unfortunately I’m probably going to ditch it because there’s just too many ads. Especially after listening for about 4 minutes, then 2 or 3 ads! Too much.

  • Essential listening

    I’m surprised at some of the 1 star reviews- it just shows that we live in a world where people can only think in extremes.

    7am went through a change when it separates from Schwartz media. However, it is still en excellent source of opinion and up to date interviews about current issues. The team clearly works hard to produce this. There is a left lean, which is fine for me.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Medicare hack and the rise of rogue AI agents
Q: To what extent did OpenAI detect the breach, and how quickly was it disclosed?
OpenAI detected the breach in August, but the Australian government was not informed until September, raising concerns about disclosure timelines and the need for clearer incident response channels.
Is liberal democracy running out of answers?
Q: What might replace liberalism, or how can liberalism respond?
Post-liberal currents argue for institutions that emphasize the common good and social cohesion, potentially sacrificing some individual-rights emphasis to protect the body politic, though practical implementation and consensus remain contentious.
Is liberal democracy running out of answers?
Q: What prompted this essay, and why now?
A broad wake-up call about a century of upheaval—terrorism, financial crises, rising inequality, and technological disruption—that reveals a potential crisis in liberalism and the need to rethink how societies bind themselves.
A richer Australia in 2066 – but for who?
Q: Can you talk a bit about the idea of making the intergenerational report more independent from government?
Holden argues for a move to an independent panel and open-source modeling so the public and experts can critique and test the assumptions, making the exercise more like a long-term national-interest analysis rather than a government press release.
Why interest rate pain is now worse than the bad old days of 17.5%
Q: How high could rates go, and what does that mean for households?
The panel suggests rates could rise further if inflation stays elevated, but there are also considerations of how to target policy more precisely, such as taxation changes, to avoid broad economic damage.
