  3. "We need to talk about it as a country": The Alice Springs Mayor on the reality of life there

    "We need to talk about it as a country": The Alice Springs Mayor on the reality of life there

    Alice Springs has come and gone from national news coverage over the past few years. It started with the lapse of alcohol and pornography bans in remote communities around Alice Springs in mid-2022. Property offences increased by almost 60%, assaults rose by 38%, and domestic violence assaults doubled. Since then, steps have been taken to reinstate restrictions, but the town and its surrounding communities have remained in the national spotlight. We debated who to speak with, but all roads pointed back to Matt Paterson, the young, outspoken Mayor who won the job by just two votes in 2021.

  6. “Power affects people”: Joe Aston on his new book about Qantas

    “Power affects people”: Joe Aston on his new book about Qantas

    Joe Aston’s name rings out in business, politics, and media circles. If you know him, it’s probably from his time writing Rear Window for the Australian Financial Review. Joe took over the column in 2012, making it a feared and revered staple—landing a mention in Rear Window likely meant you’d found yourself on the wrong side of Joe’s sharp pen. Now, he’s out with his first book, The Chairman’s Lounge, which takes aim at Qantas through the pandemic and the Alan Joyce era. As usual, Joe’s work has stirred the pot.

    Interview: Will Glasgow is Australia’s only journalist in China

    China’s always in the news—from trade wars and political tensions to human rights issues. But for nearly four years, no Australian journalist was stationed there. That changed when The Australian’s North Asia correspondent, Will Glasgow, returned this year as the only Aussie reporter on the ground in China. In this episode, we explore what it's like to report from inside China post-COVID, the unique challenges he faces under a communist regime, and how he navigates safety for both himself and his sources.
