  • Why Albanese killed a key environment bill
    Dec 2 2024
    Anthony Albanese was triumphant on Friday, as he talked up the government’s passing of dozens of bills through the parliament. But there was one key piece of environmental legislation that didn’t make it. Albanese personally stopped the bill, right at the last moment and without warning Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek. The decision by the prime minister puts mining interests – and the hope of votes in Western Australia – ahead of a deal that sources say he’d already approved. Today, national correspondent for The Saturday Paper Mike Seccombe on why Albanese stopped the legislation, and whether it’s the Greens who’ll end up winning.

  • The NRL’s influence on Albanese’s gambling reforms
    Dec 1 2024
    In Anthony Albanese’s political universe, personal relationships are everything. High on the list for Albanese is his bond with Peter V'landys, the chair of the Australian Rugby League Commission and chief executive of Racing NSW. That relationship has been central to the government’s decision to again delay reforms of gambling advertising, which V’Landys strongly opposes. Today, special correspondent for The Saturday Paper Jason Koutsoukis with the inside story of why the government still hasn’t acted on gambling reform.

Proven right every time

It's extraordinary how often the 7am podcast finds an angle that every other outlet has missed, and which turns out to be CRUCIAL months or years later.

Left wing tripe

This podcast is strongly left wing and biased. It always paints Liberals in a bad light. Not worth it.
