  • Doesn’t follow journalistic standards

    This show does not follow journalistic standards. The producers (and host) are unprofessional in their presenting. Some content contains triggers and they do not give any trigger warnings before airing content. This is very amateurish. Fair warning to anyone listening, this show won’t give any warnings to triggering content.

  • Bring back the individual podcasts

    Need individual podcasts. Otherwise those of us that are time poor are missing out on the stories we want to hear and eventually going to get our news from another source instead.

  • AM, RN Brekky, World Today, PM, Drive et al. Sabra, Linda, Sally, Fran, Bevo, Hamish ... all y'all ABC current affairs crew - thanks for years of transparent, factual, thoughtful reporting. Stand firm, keep a straight face (except for the Nats - can't help but laugh) you do represent the majority despite efforts of the IPA and Scomo's office load of rent seekers. Can't imagine the info landscape without you. Lots of love Matt.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

MPs pay tribute to Helen Haines
Q: Is there a possibility, though, that when people go to the polls, and of course, there is already early voting, that they might cross the wrong, Dan?
Brooks says it is possible but unlikely because the ballot clearly distinguishes the candidates and the incumbent and leading challenger have strong name recognition in Alaska.
MPs pay tribute to Helen Haines
Q: Why did you decide to take the civility pledge?
Spender says Helen Haines and her husband urged members and leaders to improve how they engage and debate, and she considers honesty, respect and compassion basic expectations of public life.
Israelis go to the polls
Q: Would Gadi Eisenkot, were he to become Prime Minister, bring change on Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and Iran?
Laura Tingle says major policy changes are unlikely, though Eisenkot's camp would try to address Israel's international isolation and curb settlement expansion and settler violence in the West Bank.
Israel election remains deadlocked
Q: What did the inquiry find in particular about alleged unlawful killings?
Tom Lowry says the inquiry found senior leaders failed to investigate warning signs, including a pattern of rising enemy deaths, fewer wounded, and no Australian casualties. It also found that non-commissioned officers sometimes held authority over officers, damaging decisions and information flow.
Israelis go to the polls
Q: On the ground there, is that the sense that you're getting, that this election is a referendum on Benjamin Netanyahu's leadership?
Laura Tingle says Netanyahu is increasingly viewed as vulnerable because of the security failures preceding the October 7 attacks, his proposed judicial overhaul and ongoing corruption charges, though polls do not necessarily show he is finished.
