On the Las Vegas strip, in a sea of casinos, sits an enormous dome that lights up the sky.

episode 1203: Dutton and Albanese share a flight and talk God


There are laws in Australia that desperately need to be overhauled and amended for the modern era.. But even with almost universal agreement that these laws need to be updated, the challenge is to get our politicians to agree on how to rewrite them.

episode 1200: The women who fought to expose the gender pay gap


The gender pay gap in Australia is well documented, with data on the difference between men’s and women’s wages more detailed and comprehensive than ever.

episode 1199: The truth behind Peter Dutton’s ‘strongman’ persona


Peter Dutton is a lot of things: a right-wing firebrand, a former Queensland cop and a champion of what he believes are simple Australian values. But he’s also a multi-millionaire who colleagues describe as pleasant, shy, but fiercely ambitious.
