  • Some episodes are better than others. The Fin needs to be careful it doesn't become a replacement opposition voice while the coalition find their way. It should also try and avoid keeping its readers awake at night worrying about people with more than $3m in their super accts.

  • Dumbing down?

    I really respected this podcast until I realised they only want to talk amongst their own community instead of to the people. Last week’s episode talked about the “dumbing down of politics”. Is it “dumbing down” or is it or attempting to make it more accessible for people of different ages and backgrounds? Political literacy is no joke. Cheap shot from the best political minds.

    Try contributing to the movement that is trying to make politics accessible for all.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is now (finally) the time to buy an electric vehicle?
Q: What is happening with charging infrastructure and how does that affect confidence to switch?
Infrastructure has improved but remains a hurdle, especially for cross-country trips; progress includes more local charging and planned regional networks, which should boost confidence over time.
Is now (finally) the time to buy an electric vehicle?
Q: Sam, how has the fuel crisis changed the economics of buying an EV?
Rising petrol prices have made EVs more financially attractive, with lower running costs and improving vehicle prices, pushing many from curiosity to consideration and even purchase in the near term.
The AI-fuelled fraud that deceived Australia's biggest bank
Q: What role did AI play in this fraud and how are banks preparing for it in the future?
AI enabled the rapid creation of fake documents such as payslips and tax returns, amplifying the scale of fraud. Banks are expected to pivot from document-based detection to data-centric approaches, strengthening AML controls and investment in technology to identify suspicious activity across multiple product lines.
The AI-fuelled fraud that deceived Australia's biggest bank
Q: When did CBA start looking into these issues and how did the investigation evolve?
CBA began investigating more seriously after whistleblower notices and internal reviews flagged fake documents and shell companies. The scope widened as police contacts and additional whistleblower documents corroborated a roughly one-billion-dollar fraud and suggested broader systemic risk across the lending ecosystem.
The AI-fuelled fraud that deceived Australia's biggest bank
Q: So Angira, this has turned out to be a really significant story, but in the beginning, it was about some unexplained staff exits. How did you and Joyce go from covering an emerging HR problem at the Commonwealth Bank to a billion dollar loan fraud scandal?
We started with HR turnover at the home loans unit, which revealed that first party loans were highly profitable and crucial to growth. As we dug deeper, we uncovered compliance concerns in the referrer program and, with corroboration from whistleblowers and verified sources, expanded the scope to a much larger mortgage fraud issue affecting multiple banks.
