Why 'good character' references are being scrapped

For years, survivors of some of the worst crimes imaginable have been put through hell. Their perpetrators allowed to use glowing character references in court, in an effort to have their sentences reduced. But today, that’s set to change as New South Wales introduces new laws scrapping character references for all criminal sentencing - in response to years of campaigning from sexual abuse survivors. Today, ‘Your Reference Ain’t Relevant’ Cofounder Harrison James on what these changes mean and how the rest of the country is lagging behind on character reference reform.

Will Trump go to war with Iran?

Is the world about to see the United States intervene in another country – this time, Iran? Since late December, Iran has been rocked by mass protests, and the government has responded with force. The internet has been cut for days at a time, making it difficult to verify what’s happening on the ground. Reports suggest a death toll in the thousands, with even larger numbers of protesters detained. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has been publicly encouraging protesters and declaring that “help is on the way”. Today, Iranian-born analyst and executive vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, Trita Parsi, on a regime fighting for survival – and on what Trump’s threats could mean for the entire Middle East.

Homeschooling for neo-nazis

Australia’s neo-Nazis are forming secret mothers’ groups – and have plans for a network of homeschools for their children. And when a government minister expressed concern, she was threatened – the latest in a string of threats against female politicians by neo-Nazis. Now, the federal police have raised the alarm, raising questions about the risk of further political violence – and why neo-Nazis have been allowed to build their movement. Today, crime reporter at The Age, Sherryn Groch, on the National Socialist Network’s threats and whether authorities are doing enough to stop them.

How teens are fighting the social media ban

Right now, Tiktok is awash with videos of how to get around the social media ban for under 16s, which is due to come into effect in a week.

There’s also a court case underway, challenging the government on whether the ban is even legal. Today, associate editor at Crikey, Cam Wilson, on who is behind the lawsuit, whether they’ll win, and how this ban could change the country.

After DeepSeek: How China outsmarted America

The arrival of DeepSeek wiped more than $1 trillion off the value of America’s tech firms, topping the country from its unquestioned position at the forefront of the global AI race. The Chinese AI company also upstaged President Donald Trump’s announcement of the Stargate Project – a $500 billion AI initiative. The fact that a relatively small disruptor like DeepSeek could cause such damage raises serious questions about everything Silicon Valley wants us to believe about artificial intelligence. Today, managing editor of The Saturday Paper Emily Barrett on the DeepSeek crash, and what it means for the present day tech titans.

'What happens if the US goes batshit crazy?'

Anthony Albanese recently returned from a major overseas trip, rubbing shoulders with royalty and sharing the stage with world leaders. But behind the scenes, there were also quiet discussions about a possible Plan B for AUKUS. With parliament about to sit again, his government faces pressure from the crossbench over defence and foreign policy – while the Opposition is consumed by internal divisions and power plays. Today, contributing editor at The New Daily Amy Remeikis, on what Albanese really brought back from his overseas tour, and how the coalition's implosion is reshaping politics in Canberra.

The MAGA billionaires taking over TikTok

TikTok is the most influential media platform for Australians under the age of 25. It’s where millions now get their news - whether they realise it or not. But the app is no longer just a cultural force. It’s now at the centre of a global power struggle - between China – and Trump’s America, over who gets to control the algorithm. In the US, a Trump aligned group of investors is taking over TikTok’s American operations, raising questions about how one platform could influence the political views of an entire generation. Today, Associate Editor at Crikey, Cam Wilson, on Trumpification of TikTok. You can read Cam’s reporting at Crikey.

George Megalogenis on who will win the next election

Australian politics is changing in ways it seems the Labor party and the Coalition haven’t yet come to terms with. And as the electorate splinters, it’s becoming harder for governments to last more than three years. Just months from an election where the outcome of a minority government looks likely, scare campaigns about “unholy alliances” have begun. It’s a sign that the two major parties are rattled by the prospect of what’s to come. Today, author of Minority Report: The New Shape of Australian Politics George Megalogenis on the new battle lines between the city and the suburbs – and how the results of the Voice referendum are still reverberating throughout Australian politics.

Kylie Moore-Gilbert on what Iran’s Revolutionary Guard thinks of Australia

Australia acted against Iran after ASIO found Tehran orchestrated two antisemitic arson attacks on Australian soil – expelling Iran’s ambassador and moving to list the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organisation. For Kylie Moore-Gilbert, it’s a long time coming. She spent 804 days imprisoned under IRGC control after being arrested in Tehran on espionage charges. Today, she explains who the IRGC is, why it would attack Australia, and what this listing would actually change.
