Remember Anthony Albanese’s Copacabana house drama? The PM was dragged in the media for buying a 4.3 million dollar home on the NSW central coast in the middle of a cost of living crisis.
Well now the opposition leader is facing a few questions of his own. This week, our national affairs editor James Massola has done a bit of digging, and has revealed Peter Dutton’s extensive, and rich, history of property dealings.
At the same time, News Corp has published allegations about Dutton’s share trading in the middle of the global financial crisis. Aside from denying he’s done anything dodgy, he’s also argued that the information is the work of Labor’s “dirt unit”.
Today, our intrepid reporter James Massola joins us to talk through these stories, and delves into this mysterious “dirt unit”.

When three Chinese warships sailed within 150 nautical miles of Sydney, last week, it was enough to make global headlines. Indeed, our defence force chief admitted just yesterday hat the Australian military didn’t know that these ships were conducting a live-firing exercise, while off the coast of Sydney, until 40 minutes after it began.
Today, international and political editor Peter Hartcher, on what it means that China’s stepping up its aggression towards us, at the same as Donald Trump is treating his allies like a mob boss running a protection racket.

Pope Francis is in critical condition. Which means that cardinals from around the world will, more likely than not, soon congregate in the Vatican, to choose his successor. This event, called a conclave, isn’t just the subject of a new political thriller starring Ralph Fiennes; it’s a private ceremony that has long fascinated the religious. Cardinals are sworn to a lifetime of secrecy, after they cast their vote.
But what impact does the pope have on any of our lives, whether we’re Catholic or not?
Today, Barney Zwartz, a senior fellow of the Centre for Public Christianity, and a former religion editor of The Age, on the history of popes who have wrangled with world leaders. And the mixed legacy of Pope Francis.

For many Australians, waking up to news - week after week - about yet another antisemitic attack has been confronting.
Is hatred against Jewish people, in our very own country, more prevalent than we thought? Or are these attacks the work of puppet masters, offshore, who might be pulling the strings behind the scenes, for their own nefarious - and mysterious - reasons?
Today, investigative reporter Nick McKenzie, on how our spy agency, ASIO, is now investigating bikie gangs as it combats antisemitic attacks and plots by hostile nations to harm our national security.

We know that our political climate has been particularly febrile lately in the climate of the Gaza conflict.
So was it political pressure that led an Australian federal arts body to pull an accomplished artist from appearing at the so-called Oscars of the art world?
Today, senior culture writer Kerrie O’Brien, on Khaled Sabsabi. And whether it was his art, or stance on the Middle East, which has led to his shock dismissal.

Well, the Reserve Bank finally answered our fiscal prayers this week, and announced an interest rate cut of 0.25 percent, providing relief to stretched mortgagees across the land.
But arguably no one was sweating on the rate cut more than the Albanese government, which desperately needed a strong sign that the cost of living crisis has turned a corner, and things are going to get easier for working Australians.
But is the rate cut enough, and will they reward the government for it by voting Labor at the next election? And what about the curious anomaly in the figures that has stumped even the experts.
Senior economics correspondent Shane Wright unpacks this with Jacqueline Maley, while national security correspondent Matthew Knott discusses the landmark national security speech given by ASIO boss Mike Burgess.

There is one political taboo in Germany that is so strong, it’s stood since the end of World War II. Never to allow a far-right party to rule. But as Germans head to the polls this weekend, to choose a new national leader, many do so with great anger over immigration and rising prices.
Today, Europe correspondent Rob Harris, on who is likely to win this weekend’s election. And whether the rising power of the AfD, which has used rhetoric tinged with Nazi overtones, marks the country’s return to its dark past.

We already knew that many Australians are often eager consumers of illicit drugs, with Sydney sometimes referred to as a Cocaine Capital. The only place where it’s more expensive to buy cocaine, in the world, other than Australia, is Saudi Arabia. That’s how sought after it is.
But our police now have a new frontier in cocaine trafficking that’s keeping them on their toes.
Today, crime reporter Sally Rawsthorne on the most fearsome drug cartels that are using submarines and other methods, to bring massive amounts of cocaine into Australia.

Did the nation’s biggest taxi company fail to stem the rampant rorting of passengers?
Leaked documents to investigative journalist Nick McKenzie allege Australians are being ripped off by drivers at a massive scale, from everyday passengers going to and from work, to vulnerable people travelling from disability services and aged care homes.
In one of the most shocking cases, a cabcharge account belonging to an elderly person who had died was charged dozens and dozens of times over just a few days.
Today, McKenzie on his joint investigation with The Age, Sydney Morning Herald and 60 Minutes, and what happened when they sent someone undercover to expose the scam.

"I call it the madman theory, Bob”
These words, supposedly uttered by Richard Nixon, and recounted by his chief-of-staff Bob Haldeman, have perhaps never been as relevant as they are today.
And they go to the question: Can a powerful leader who we think is a bit crazy, actually make the world a better place? As Nixon thought he might be able to achieve?
Enter Donald Trump.
The current president of the United States is set to put to the test what’s dubbed the ‘madman theory’ like never before.
Today, foreign affairs correspondent Matthew Knott on whether Trump’s volatile approach to geopolitics will produce vital victories, or whether his perceived crazy is just a little too…mad.

We bring you this episode of Inside Politics on Valentines Day, but right now the trade relationship between Australia and our closest ally is at a delicate juncture.
This week President Donald Trump declared his intention to impose tariffs on aluminium and steel imports from all countries, no exceptions. And the pressure was on Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to negotiate a way out.
Albanese had a long, and reportedly warm conversation with Trump about the tariff issue, with Trump saying he would consider an exemption for Australian steel and aluminium.
But no promises were made, and in the volatile landscape of Trump 2.0, nothing is certain except we will have more uncertainty.
This week, Inside Politics host Jacqueline Maley is joined by chief political correspondent David Crowe, and senior economics correspondent Shane Wright.

Gone are the days of the simple sunscreen where the choices were between, say, SPF 15, or 30 or 50. Now, at least according to the marketing, you protect your skin from the sun, and also moisturise it, hydrate it, illuminate it and anti-age-it.
The Australian Tax Office now has all these fancy sunscreens in its sights, looking at whether the companies that are pumping out these products need to pay more tax.
Today, consumer affairs reporter Madeleine Heffernan on what happened to the humble sunscreen and whether luxury creams protect your skin just as well.

Camping, fishing, hunting and four-wheel driving are just some of the ways Aussies experience the bush everyday - but they’re activities that are now, according to some, under threat.
New land management proposals by state governments to protect the environment have been met with fierce backlash from bush-users, who claim the government is ‘locking up the bush’.Today, environment and climate reporter Bianca Hall on whether a balance of both environmental protection and our recreation is achievable.

Over the weekend, Labor took a thumping in a Victorian by-election.
This, in a state that has for so long leaned to the centre-left, that former prime minister John Howard dubbed it “the Massachusetts of Australia”.
Today state political editor, Chip Le Grand, on why so many voters are abandoning Labor in Victoria. And if this signals doom for the party at the federal election.

There’s been a bit going on in the world of media in Australia.
Just last week, a court case began over the ABC’s sacking of high-profile presenter Antoinette Lattouf, while in another case, cricket commentator Peter Lalor was told to back his bags by a commercial radio station.
And the drama is all over what they had posted on social media about the war in Gaza.
But what do these cases mean for everyone else? Can your employer sack you if you post something about the war?
Today, employment lawyer Cilla Robinson answers this vexed question, but first, media writer Calum Jaspan brings us up to speed with ABC versus Antoinette Latouff.

This year promises to be a big one: we have a federal election coming up, we have a continuing cost of living crisis, and we have the urgent challenge of responding to the increasing volatility of our closest ally, the United States. These are all all big themes.
Why, then, has parliament spent the week talking about long lunches for small business? Is the debate over lunches just a bit of sparring before more substantive issues are discussed? How have both parties used the summer break to sharpen up their attacks on each other?
Plus, we will look at the hate speech legislation before parliament, likely to pass soon with bipartisan support. And we will probe the PM’s response to President Trump’s plans to have the US annex Gaza.
Joining Jacqueline Maley to discuss is chief political correspondent David Crowe and national security correspondent and foreign affairs correspondent Matthew Knott.

The other day, the world suddenly saw Matildas Captain Sam Kerr in a new light. In police body-cam footage that has made global headlines, Kerr could be seen swearing at a police constable, and calling him names, while seemingly seething with disdain.
But how is the footage, which was aired in a London courtroom - where Kerr is on trial for racial harassment - being viewed here, where she’s long been seen as a hero?
Today, Europe correspondent Rob Harris, and sports reporter Vince Rugari, on whether Sam Kerr might serve jail time. And how her behaviour is dividing opinions in our sporting community.

It’s official. American president Donald Trump has launched a new era of trade wars, with the sweeping tariffs he has imposed on Canada, Mexico and China primed to come into effect today.
There is serious tit-for-tat energy, here. With Canada vowing to retaliate by imposing tax on Florida Orange Juice, Tennessee whiskey, and Kentucky peanut butter.
But how do tariffs actually work? Who pays for them? And just how much can they raise consumers’ bills, and damage - or help - any of these countries’ economies?
Today, Senior Economics correspondent Shane Wright, and North American correspondent Michael Koziol, on whether this is, as one newspaper has dubbed it, “the dumbest trade war in history.”

Belle Gibson was revered, worldwide, for an astonishing feat. She had healed herself from terminal cancer through the power of healthy eating. And launched a global business on the back of it. There was just one problem. She never had cancer. And were it not for the relentless digging done by a pair of junior journalists from Melbourne, her deceit might never have been uncovered.
Belle Gibson’s story will soon be the subject of a new Netflix series, Apple Cider Vinegar, which premieres on Thursday.Today, the two journalists who wrote the book upon which the series is based - Beau Donelly and Nick Toscano, on what happens when hope, fear and manipulation are supercharged by the world of social media.
