    Jacqui Baker on the rise of Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto
    Jan 7 2025
    Indonesia’s recently sworn in President Prabowo Subianto is many things. To millions of young Indonesians, he is a daggy dancer on TikTok. But to a cohort of voters with longer memories, he is a veteran of a brutal and oppressive military force. Today, principal fellow of the Indo-Pacific Research Centre at Murdoch University Jacqui Baker charts Prabowo Subianto’s extraordinary climb to the presidency and what it means for Indonesia’s fragile democracy. Please enjoy “Forcing History”, read by Jacqui Baker and first published in the Australian Foreign Affairs October issue.

  • Marian Wilkinson on Peter Dutton’s nuclear power plants

    Marian Wilkinson on Peter Dutton’s nuclear power plants
    Jan 5 2025
    Peter Dutton’s first major promise when he became opposition leader was to build nuclear power plants. It was a curious idea with no cost attached, and polling suggested it had little community support. Today, journalist Marian Wilkinson joins with her investigation into the conservative charity group figures driving the opposition leader’s pivot to nuclear energy. Marian’s sharp reporting on the nuclear lobby only becomes more relevant with each day we inch closer to the next federal election. Please enjoy “Dutton’s nuclear power plants”, read by Marian Wilkinson and first published in The Monthly earlier this year.

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.
