    Pauline's 'sexy' plane and big money politics

    Inflation has surged to a whopping 4.6 per cent, the highest level since 2023, as fuel shocks caused by the US-Iran war continue to bite. But the cost of living hasn't stopped One Nation leader Pauline Hanson from taking to social media to celebrate her "sexy" new private plane. Treasurer Jim Chalmers has hit out at the announcement, labelling the Senator a "wholly owned subsidiary" of billionaire Gina Rinehart — so could the optics hurt the minor party? It comes as Anthony Albanese delivered his "largest" pre-budget speech. Speaking at a Chamber of Minerals and Energy event in WA, the PM effectively ruled out a gas profits tax in the budget — saying it wasn't the time to jeopardise regional partnerships.

    Did Sylvester Stallone snub Canberra?

    The Prime Minister has committed to "fixing" the News Bargaining Code to ensure platforms contribute their "fair share", unveiling an exposure draft of the legislation. Meanwhile, the Trump Administration has nominated former Republican Congressman David Brat for the role of US ambassador to Australia. And Mel and PK are in fierce agreement about the glory of Canberra in autumn, but reporting suggests the likes of Sylvester Stallone and Mel Gibson — who were previously touted for the posting — weren't so keen on a move to the bush capital. And the Opposition has unveiled a plan to double Australia's fuel reserves, as energy security remains a key focus for the Government.

    Albanese swings big on NDIS reforms

    As the leaves on the parliamentary budget tree change colour, Labor has unveiled an enormous NDIS overhaul — promising major savings in the upcoming budget. So, has Prime Minister Anthony Albanese finally used some of his political capital with the "bold" reforms? And what are the political risks, as many in the disability community remain alarmed about the implications from the overhaul? Meanwhile, momentum is growing for a gas profits tax, with an unlikely political grouping all supporting the push. However, as the PM looks to shore-up fuel security in the region, has he gone cold on the idea? Fran Kelly and Patricia Karvelas are joined by Sarah Ferguson, ABC 730 Host on The Party Room.

  7. The political price of NDIS savings

    The political price of NDIS savings

    The Albanese Government has announced a sweeping overhaul of the NDIS, with 160,000 participants to be booted from the scheme within four years. Underpinned by four key pillars, the reform looks to rein in spending and "unsustainable growth" and clamp down on the "chaotic free-for-all-market that's built up". And while the move will generate key budget savings, it doesn't come without political costs for Labor — but as David tells PK, the government clearly thinks they'll "get points for making some tough and hard decisions" even if it means a rough political road ahead.

    The gas tax squeeze

    Whether the government likes it or not, momentum is building around a gas profits tax. What began as a simmering grassroots and political push has accelerated amid the global energy crisis, with pressure mounting on the government to act. A Greens-led inquiry into the issue begins today. But is Prime Minister Anthony Albanese listening? At the same time, both the government and opposition are sharpening their housing messages - but which one will land with voters? Patricia Karvelas and Raf Epstein break it all down on Politics Now.
