  1. Why protests are getting more dangerous

    Why protests are getting more dangerous

    On Monday, about 6,000 people attended a protest against Israeli President Isaac Herzog's visit to Sydney. The event began peacefully – but videos later emerged, showing protesters being pepper-sprayed, beaten, and arrested by police. Police say some demonstrators wanted to march to NSW Parliament despite a restriction making it unlawful – and that when orders to disperse were ignored, they had to move the crowd on. Twenty-seven protesters were arrested. There have been a number of incidents in recent years where police have been accused of using excessive force against protesters. It comes as officers increasingly use weapons like pepper spray and rubber bullets. Today, journalist and author Ariel Bogle on the use of these so-called “non-lethal” weapons, and how they’re changing protests in Australia.

  2. Fantastic. Great move. Well done Angus

    Fantastic. Great move. Well done Angus

    It took just nine months for the Liberal Party to turn on its first female leader. After months of internal agitation and sliding polls, a spill motion was called and, by the end, Ley was out – replaced by a man many conservatives had wanted all along, Angus Taylor. Taylor, a former energy minister and standard-bearer for the party’s right, has promised discipline, economic clarity and a return to what he calls “core Liberal values”, where culture wars aren’t a distraction; they’re the strategy.  For some, it’s a reset. For others, it’s a signal that internal battles are far from over.  Today, Political Editor at news.com.au Samantha Maiden, on how the spill unfolded, who backed Taylor and why, and whether this puts the Coalition in a stronger position than it was at the start of the week.   If you enjoy 7am, the best way you can support us is by making a contribution at 7ampodcast.com.au/support.   Socials: Stay in touch with us on Instagram Guest: Samantha Maiden, political editor news.com.au Photo: AAP Image/Lukas Coch See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    The son of Hong Kong’s jailed democracy hero

    Jimmy Lai is a media tycoon and hero of Hong Kong’s freedom movement.  A symbol of the city’s fight for democracy and a free press – he has been silenced, handcuffed, and now sentenced to 20 years in prison by a Hong Kong court. Seen as a traitor by Beijing, Lai has been jailed on charges of sedition and collusion with foreign forces – which he says are politically motivated. Today, Sebastien Lai on fighting for his father’s freedom and what this case says about China’s ongoing crackdown in Hong Kong.   If you enjoy 7am, the best way you can support us is by making a contribution at 7ampodcast.com.au/support.   Socials: Stay in touch with us on Instagram Guest: Sebastien Lai, son of jailed media tycoon Jimmy Lai Photo: Kobe Li/Nexpher Images/Sipa USA See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  6. On the ground at the Herzog protests

    On the ground at the Herzog protests

    Israeli President Isaac Herzog has arrived in Sydney for a four-day visit to Australia, invited in the wake of the Bondi Beach terror attack in December. On Monday, Herzog visited Bondi and laid a wreath to honour the 15 people killed in the attack.  At the same time, pro-Palestinian protesters gathered in Sydney’s CBD to oppose the visit – after organisers launched a Supreme Court challenge to the NSW government’s decision to declare the visit a “major event”, a move that activates special police powers in the city.  It comes on top of the broader protest restrictions NSW introduced after Bondi – which the government says are about community safety in the wake of a terrorist incident – but which civil liberties groups argue tilt too much power toward police discretion and make political protest more difficult. Today, 7am chats with protestors at the Sydney march, and NSW Council for Civil Liberties president Timothy Roberts, on the new limits being placed on protest in NSW – and across the country.   If you enjoy 7am, the best way you can support us is by making a contribution at 7ampodcast.com.au/support.   Socials: Stay in touch with us on Instagram Guest: NSW Council for Civil Liberties president, Timothy Roberts Photo: AAP Image/Flavio Brancaleone See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Breakup to Makeup: Can the Coalition last?

    It’s been just over two weeks since the Liberal and National parties’ dramatic split and now the Coalition is back together. Sussan Ley and David Littleproud insist they’re now solid, guaranteeing that after two Coalition splits in the space of a year - this time, there’ll be no more break ups. Today, press gallery journalist Karen Middleton on how the Coalition got back together after their big blow up, and whether this time it’s for good.   If you enjoy 7am, the best way you can support us is by making a contribution at 7ampodcast.com.au/support.   Socials: Stay in touch with us on Instagram Guest: Press gallery journalist, Karen Middleton Photo: AAP Image/Lukas Coch See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    The MAGA billionaires taking over TikTok

    TikTok is the most influential media platform for Australians under the age of 25. It’s where millions get their news – whether they realise it or not. But TikTok is no longer just a cultural force. A Trump-aligned group of investors has taken over its American operations, aimed at keeping China at arm’s length. Now, users are claiming that content about ICE and its operations in Minnesota, where two American citizens were killed by federal agents, has been difficult to post, has disappeared from the algorithm, or has reached far fewer people than expected. TikTok has denied political censorship, saying the platform was experiencing technical disruption at the time. But it’s raised the question: when it comes to TikTok, who gets to decide what Americans see – and what gets buried? Today, Associate Editor at Crikey, Cam Wilson, on the Trumpification of TikTok. You can read Cam’s reporting at Crikey. This episode was first published in October 2025.   If you enjoy 7am, the best way you can support us is by making a contribution at 7ampodcast.com.au/support.   Socials: Stay in touch with us on Instagram Guest: Associate Editor at Crikey, Cam Wilson See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
