About this listen

In this week’s exclusive subscribers’ podcast, Ivan and Leo begin the 2026 season with the second break-up of the federal Coalition parties, following a split over hate speech laws in the wake of the Bondi shootings. Major divisions are also highlighted over gun ownership after three Nationals senators quit the shadow cabinet, triggering further instability.


Meanwhile, in Perth, a funeral was held today for much-loved and talented Labor powerbroker and mineral resources executive Tim Picton, following an alleged punching incident. The Prime Minister and state leaders attended the funeral. We have an extract from his wife’s speech.
