  • When kids = content: Inside the world of family influencers
    Apr 15 2026

    It started as a bunch of mummy bloggers on the internet trading tips on everything from breastfeeding to toddler tantrums.

    Now the world of child and family influencers has become a billion-dollar business where kids equal content and absolutely nothing is off limits.

    Today, Fortesa Latifi, author of the new book “Like, Follow, Subscribe: Influencer Kids and the Cost of a Childhood Online” offers a rare look inside the belly of the beast from some of the kids who have come out the other side.

  • Migrants draining the nation: Angus Taylor's hard line immigration plan
    Apr 14 2026

    It’s a controversial proposal – immigration based on blatant discrimination.

    Opposition leader Angus Taylor has laid out the beginnings of the Liberal Party’s hard line migration policy in a provocative speech in Canberra.

    Some of his proposals had echoes of Donald Trump, others of John Howard – as he made a play for One Nation’s growing pool of lapsed Liberal voters.

    So what does it all mean? And will his bold move on migration pay off at the polls?

    Today, press gallery journalist Karen Middleton on the Liberal Party’s controversial new migration policy.

  • Death by Hanging: Inside Israel's new laws for Palestinians
    Apr 13 2026

    Israel has passed a new law allowing for the execution of Palestinians convicted of deadly attacks.

    The law passed through the country’s parliament despite opposition from Israeli and international human rights groups, as well as the governments of the UK, Germany, France and Italy.

    Israel’s national doctors’ union has refused to carry out lethal injections, meaning those sentenced under the law would face death by hanging.

    The government says the law will deter future Palestinian attacks. Some right-wing Israeli politicians wore noose-shaped pins in parliament as it was debated.

    Today, Israeli journalist Amira Hass, who lives in the West Bank and writes for Haaretz, on capital punishment, settler violence and the expansion of settlements in Palestine.

It's extraordinary how often the 7am podcast finds an angle that every other outlet has missed, and which turns out to be CRUCIAL months or years later.

This podcast is strongly left wing and biased. It always paints Liberals in a bad light. Not worth it.
