  • Yumna Kassab's lazy dismissal of legitimate concerns about migration and and social cohesion was disappointing and offered nothing of value whatsoever to this national discussion

  • Trump lashes out at Australia…….Storm in a teacup?

    Hard to read what he is really saying. President Trump was reminded in an interview with Time magazine that he had said he would end the Russian war on Ukraine on “day one,” he claimed he hadn’t been speaking literally or seriously.“Well, I said that figuratively, and I said that as an exaggeration, because to make a point, and you know, it gets, of course, by the fake news [unintelligible]. Obviously, people know that when I said that, it was said in jest, but it was also said that it will be e... more

  • A lot of fluff , story could of been covered in a minute

    Just listened to the “what we know about the Dezi Freeman” podcast.

    The 23 min episode was 22 mins too long.

    The journalist could of just said ,

    Police got a tip and they can’t say if the person is eligible for a reward.

    Don’t know if dezi shot at police first.

    Don’t know how long or how he got to his lair.

  • Always informative, fix the partner approach

    I love the guardian - vital institution and meets the standard it sets. Stories are always excellent and insightful. Don’t at all understand why they don’t have a proper pod partnership approach though - listening to issue after issue being dissected then getting fed standard ads from perpetrators of these issues like commbank, coke, McDonald’s etc doesn’t make sense and effects the integrity of the show and listening experience

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

'Hope shifted to grief': the death of Kumanjayi Little Baby
Q: What does the arrival of Jefferson Lewis's arrest mean for the community, and how are people reacting at the hospital and in town?
People reacted with a mix of shock and concern, with some viewing the arrest as a relief that someone arrested could face justice, while others emphasized the need to avoid escalating tensions and to respect the family's mourning period.
'Hope shifted to grief': the death of Kumanjayi Little Baby
Q: Douglas, thank you for joining us on Full Story. How has the community been affected by the events and the ongoing investigation?
The community has been deeply affected, moving from hopeful searches to collective grief, with a surge of emotional responses from local businesses, residents, and leaders, and a strong desire for calm and support for the family as the justice process unfolds.
Everyone is talking about Farrer, here is what you need to know
Q: Why are political analysts and voters paying so much attention to Farrer this time?
Because the major parties have seen declining primary votes, and this by-election is testing whether a non-major candidate can translate a strong local base into a lower house seat, potentially signaling realignment in Australian politics.
Is Sanae Takaichi the most powerful woman in the world?
Q: How does she balance being a trailblazing female leader with expectations from feminist circles?
While she has energized some voters with a dynamic, hard-driving image, many see her as not advancing traditional feminist policies, instead emphasizing nationalism and security priorities, which complicates gender-equality narratives.
Is Sanae Takaichi the most powerful woman in the world?
Q: Talk us through what she wants to do there and how controversial that's proving in Japan.
The guest explains that the PM aims to revise Article 9 to allow a more normal, proactive defense posture, but faces strong public and parliamentary debate, with potential risks of an arms race in Northeast Asia and significant domestic opposition.
