  • I hope it gets better

    Three years of PK inserting herself and her opinions into the stories has been very tedious. For example She has been hysterical about cuts to over-servicing psychology sessions, wasted airtime with her unbridled adulation of Taylor Swift and failed to acknowledge the obvious that trump was going to win the election. Fran Kelly was very fair. I hope the Sally Sara chapter brings better balance to RN Breakfast .

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

'No change in our position' - Resources Minister on proposed gas tax
Q: How does the government justify its approach to taxing offshore vs onshore gas and the role of PRRT?
The minister explains that PRRT applies to offshore gas while onshore gas is taxed through royalties by state governments, asserting that the overall regime supports investment and domestic gas availability.
'No change in our position' - Resources Minister on proposed gas tax
Q: What is the current government stance on gas taxation and related policy steps?
The minister states there is no change in position on taxation of gas and emphasizes ongoing work on ensuring affordable gas through the gas market review and the domestic gas reservation policy.
Steelers searching for World Challenge title and major sponsor
Q: Why don't the Steelers have a major sponsor? Why has it been so hard, do you think?
The team has a long history of success and visibility, but attracting the right sponsor hinges on telling a compelling story and finding a partner whose branding aligns with para-sport values; there's no opportunity cost in waiting for the right fit and the team is focused on media-ready events to improve sponsorship prospects.
Hormuz closure risking global food crisis, UN warns
Q: What's your plan to get fertiliser and humanitarian aid moving again? And how quickly are we talking? Could this be up and going within weeks?
The plan is to establish a de-confliction mechanism that allows fertilisers to pass through the Strait during the conflict, contingent on political buy-in and the commitment of all parties to ensure safe passage; once governments decide to proceed, the UN would need around seven days to deploy monitors and operationalize the mechanism.
Mark Butler defends sweeping changes to the NDIS
Q: What do you think of those comments from Patrick and also that question that he's asking you?
I acknowledge the concerns and reiterate that we're committed to engaging with the disability community, meeting with stakeholders, and ensuring the reform strengthens the scheme while protecting vulnerable participants.
