Dennis tells how Robodebt has risen out of the past to hurt the Coalition again as Bill Shorten’s long run campaign severely damages not only politicians but bureaucrats.

While the RBA pauses on interest rate hikes, it may not last with the fear of recession, fuelled by Labor’s industrial relations laws and pay claims.

And Michael and Dennis question what on earth Greta Thunberg was doing in Ukraine at the table with so many dignitaries?

Michael Danby offers his take on how Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has continued to win in the system that only exists in Victoria. And today the PM released the Government's National Strategy for the Care and Support Economy but how will this provide real sustainable care? Australia is powering the new green cold war with renewable energy now on the front line of superpower rivalry.

The most recent Australian Bureau of Statistics data reveals that the male primary school teacher rate has now fallen below 18% for the first time in our nation’s history. Former teacher and now CEO of Real School Adam Voigt reveals the real fears male teachers now have when teaching young female students and how many have decided  the fears are just too onerous for them to continue in the profession.  Adam outlines three predominant themes that must be addressed to tackle a hastily worsening teacher workforce crisis.

Sir Donald Bradman is quoted to have said “Walter was the greatest billiards player who ever lived". Walter held the World Professional Billiard title from 1933 until 1950 and held 57 world records of which 56 are still standing. And all this after losing the tip of his index finger at the age of 3 which led to his father teaching him to play billiards left-handed. A true Aussie sporting legend.

Michael and Dennis question how the Victorian Premier Dan Andrews survives.  And so much for the Federal Government forecasting energy prices going down when they're actually increasing.  Meanwhile the Prime Minister continues to insist it's the whole package or nothing with The Voice and refuses to compromise.  And Indian Prime Minister Modi receives a rockstar's welcome in Australia.  Would there be another Prime Minister or President that would get that reception out of their own country?

Michael and Daniel discuss Anthony Albanese’s scorecard after his first year in power. But a new survey has found 48 per cent of respondents named cost of living as their highest priority. And despite trade bans with China lifting, do we need to trade with China while it poses the greatest security threat to Australia?

Michael McLaren discusses with Bruce Mountain from the Victoria Energy Policy Centre how much government intervention in the gas industry is beneficial to consumers. Bruce believes the gas industry is undertaxed and has had a good ride for years at the cost to the Australian people. We've got a very concentrated gas industry who holds the Government to ransom.

The wind and solar  power myth has finally been exposed remarkable progress; they’re now satisfying significant portions of our energy demand. But there’s one major problem holding us back from relying on them even more: They can’t be stored very well. Bryan Leyland - a consulting engineer from Auckland, with experience in all aspects of the power industry, underlines this harsh reality with Michael McLaren. We should be looking at nuclear power that could provide all the low cost, low emissions electricity the world needs for hundreds or thousands of years.

National Editor of the The Australian Dennis Shanahan reveals a recent poll indicates middle Australians haven’t fallen for the Budget and believe it could actually push up inflation. Despite Labor accusing the Coalition of engaging too many consultants, Labor has in fact increased their number of public servants. Support for the Voice is declining and not helped by Noel Pearson on the attack with language that is only doing a disservice to the Yes campaign. Michael questions why all the corporate and sporting bodies are getting behind the Voice? What about the shareholders?  It’s for individuals to make up their own minds.
