  • Good to listen to independent Australian journalists

    Would like a weekly in depth report on vexing topics such as AI, climate, corporate corruption and the people actively involved with working for the good of the planet.

    Thanks

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The collapse of David Jones: Is this the death of department stores?
Q: What does the future of David Jones look like, and do you think anyone will want to buy it?
Ziffer expects a buyer to emerge, attracted by the brand, loyal customers and loyalty-program data, but thinks the business will need to become a more focused premium retailer with fewer stores.
The collapse of David Jones: Is this the death of department stores?
Q: What does administration actually mean for David Jones now and for stores, and what does it mean for its thousands of employees?
Administration gives the company a chance to restructure its debts and contracts. Unprofitable stores may close, affecting workers, while the brand is likely to continue in a smaller form.
The warning for Albanese in Trump’s defeat
Q: Could her MAGA connection hurt One Nation now that Trump is increasingly on the nose and seen as a lame duck president?
Henderson says One Nation has made some effort to distance itself from Trump, while its influence may be reduced if the government presents a convincing economic argument against its proposed solutions.
The warning for Albanese in Trump’s defeat
Q: How dire is this hike politically for Anthony Albanese and Jim Chalmers?
Henderson says the rate rise is worrying Labor MPs, particularly those in marginal seats, because households may feel poorer and the government will need to make difficult budget decisions.
The fall of Russell Brand
Q: How did what was broadcast then lead us to this moment?
Mutanda-Dougherty says the 2023 documentary and related Times reporting prompted some complainants to report their experiences to police, even though the trial complainants were not the anonymous women featured in those reports.
