    Oliver Peterson: Australian correspondent ahead of the 2026 Australian federal budget being handed down

    12/05/2026 | 3 mins.
    The Australian federal budget is set to be delivered tonight, and it's promising big changes.
    Treasurer Jim Chalmers says the budget will feature 'more than the usual amount of savings and more than the usual amount of reform'.
    Australian correspondent Murray Olds says this will appeal to younger voters, as concerns have been raised about intergenerational inequality and the housing market.

    12/05/2026 | 4 mins.
    Luke Metcalf is poised to leave the Warriors.
    The NRL club have confirmed they have agreed to a request from Metcalf's management to talk with other clubs.

    Sportstalk host D'Arcy Waldegrave explained further.

    Steve Watt: Police Association President on the new pay bump being promised to officers

    12/05/2026 | 3 mins.
    The Police Association says a new pay offer doesn't meet struggling officers' needs.
    The union says they'd effectively get a 0.6 percent bump, with nothing for managers.
    Police Association President Steve Watt says the impacted officers have found this offer 'tough' to accept, given the demands of the job.
    "We've asked for five percent, we understand that CPI is still to come out, but we understand that the CPI figure is going to be around that four to five percent. And the reality is, for our members, anything under CPI is essentially a pay cut."

    Gavin Grey: UK correspondent on Labour's poor showing at the local elections

    11/05/2026 | 3 mins.
    The pressure on Sir Keir Starmer keeps ramping up in the UK.
    Labour had a disastrous showing in local elections at the end of last week - a reflection of the Prime Minister's growing unpopularity.
    The party lost a total 1500 councillors across England, with Nigel Farage's Reform UK party picking up steam.
    UK correspondent Gavin Grey says Starmer is set to give a speech addressing the situation, but there's growing calls to replace him as party leader.

    Geoff Bertram: energy economist on the Greens calling for the Government to bring down power prices

    11/05/2026 | 5 mins.
    The Green Party's written to Government ministers asking them to use their majority owner status to pressure major gentailers to reduce power prices.
    Co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick says shareholding ministers, Simeon Brown and Nicola Willis, can write to the gentailers and require them to do more on energy hardship programmes.
    She suggests they could also call for retail prices not to surpass inflation.
    Energy economist Geoff Bertram says it's time action was taken to bring down the impact of the major gentailers.
