Inside the ‘hostile takeover’ of Meals on Wheels

Meals on Wheels is an essential service for many elderly people across the country. It’s the sort of service that you can’t really put a price on – providing community connection and support to people who might be falling through the cracks. That’s what makes this failed plot to take over Meals on Wheels so shocking. It’s a story that’s got it all: dubious alliances, shocking lies, boozy nights – and millions of dollars.

Larissa Waters seems nice

Larissa Waters is the new leader of the Australian Greens. She steps in as the party reels from its election wipe-out, losing three of its four seats in the House of Representatives – including that of Adam Bandt. Senator Waters’ task is to repair the Greens’ image: Labor has painted the party as obstructive and militant, and that perception has cost the Greens votes. Today, national correspondent for The Saturday Paper, Mike Seccombe, on Larissa Waters – why she won, and whether she can rebuild the Greens.

The giant cuttlefish and the deadly algal bloom

When dead fish began washing up on South Australian beaches earlier this year, Dr Scott Bennett was alarmed. Scott’s a marine ecologist at the University of Tasmania, and knew that dead fish on shore meant trouble under the surface.

The full impact still isn’t known – but some of Australia’s rarest and strangest animals could be wiped out entirely.

Why SAS troops used wrong rules of engagement

The Brereton inquiry uncovered shocking allegations of war crimes committed by Australian soldiers in Afghanistan. But there was one failing of Australian soldiers that wasn’t investigated. According to documents and interviews, some Australian soldiers in Afghanistan used foreign rules of engagement in combat which they weren’t trained in, or permitted to use. The use of these rules may have resulted in the killing of a large number of unarmed Afghans who would not otherwise have been killed. Today, contributor to The Saturday Paper Ben Mckelvey, on how and when Australian special forces are allowed to kill.

Is Qantas sorry – or just sorry it got caught?

Qantas has been told it’s the “wrong kind of sorry”. Five years after illegally outsourcing 1,800 ground staff, the airline has been hit with a record $90 million penalty on top of compensation for workers. Qantas is promising cultural change, but the court's judgment questions whether the airline’s remorse is real or just for show, given the move saved the company hundreds of millions of dollars in the long run. Today, Rampart founder and author of The Chairman's Lounge: The Inside Story of How Qantas Sold Us Out, Joe Aston, on what this ruling means for the airline – and whether anything has changed since Alan Joyce's departure.

The political calculations behind Albanese’s economic roundtable

Labor is laying the groundwork for a major overhaul of Australia’s tax system. In just over a week, a hand-picked group of people from business, unions and government will gather in Canberra for an economic roundtable. Already, a range of ideas are being touted for debate: from lowering company tax rates, to rethinking negative gearing, and a carbon tax. The prime minister is watching carefully to see which ideas gain traction – and which are political poison – before claiming them as part of his own agenda. Today, press gallery journalist Karen Middleton on Anthony Albanese’s long game – and the way he wants to change the economy to change the country.

Murray Watt on our broken environmental laws and saying 'yes' to Woodside

Murray Watt has a big job: as federal environment minister, he’s been hand-picked by Albanese to fix Australia’s old and broken environment laws. It was a brief his predecessor Tanya Plibersek failed to achieve – with mining interests in Western Australia claiming success when a deal with the Greens was dashed by the prime minister at the last minute. So what will be different this time? And how does the minister square greenlighting new fossil fuel projects with his government being elected to combat climate change? Today, Environment Minister Murray Watt – on Australia’s broken laws, and why he said ‘yes’ to Woodside.
