Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is Bianca Dye ready for her next big gig?
Q: What attracted you to the Golden Bachelor experience, and would you consider doing a similar show in the future?
Bianca explains she enjoyed the time on the show and would absolutely participate again, but emphasizes that her primary goal is to find formats that suit her energy and brand, rather than chasing every possible opportunity.
The Devil is in the detail: Will the News Bargaining Incentive save media jobs?
Q: Can the proposed incentives realistically re-stabilize the Australian media economy?
The panel suggests that without transparent accounting of platform earnings and a credible enforcement mechanism, the incentives may delay payments or fail to fully stabilize the industry, but a carefully designed framework could help.
The Devil is in the detail: Will the News Bargaining Incentive save media jobs?
Q: Why did Meta withdraw from paying publishers the first time, and what is the new incentive trying to fix?
Meta exited payments due to perceived low value in the arrangement and the fear of political backlash; the new incentive aims to compel them to contribute through a different mechanism, like a tax-based approach on advertising.
The Devil is in the detail: Will the News Bargaining Incentive save media jobs?
Q: What is the News Media Bargaining Code and why did it come about?
The code was created to counter revenues being captured by global tech platforms and to return money to publishers, though it wasn't perfect and required adjustments over time.
Why does the media love gossip?
Q: How have you seen the Charles and Camilla visit to the US play out in terms of media coverage?
The visit triggered a flurry of coverage and appearances by high-profile figures, highlighting how royal narratives and political optics shape global media attention.
