Barrie Cassidy and Tony Barry discuss the expulsion of Australia’s Iranian ambassador and Anthony Albanese’s plan to help first home buyers. They also examine what the Coalition could do to get out of its post-election slump

Back to Back Barries: can the Coalition find a circuit breaker?

Since Tuesday morning, police have been searching for Dezi Freeman, a so-called ‘sovereign citizen’. Police say he has fled into bushland after the killing of two police officers, allegedly in ‘cold blood’, at a property in the Victorian town of Porepunkah. Reged Ahmad speaks to Catie McLeod, who is on the ground in Porepunkah, and Nino Bucci about what we know of the suspect and the manhunt for him

Iran directed at least two attacks against Australia’s Jewish community, the domestic spy agency has determined, prompting the Albanese government to expel Tehran’s ambassador from Australia. The prime minister announced on Tuesday that Asio had ‘credible intelligence’ to determine the Iranian government was behind the attacks against the Adass Israel synagogue in Melbourne and Lewis’s Continental Kitchen in Bondi, Sydney. Iranian diplomats posted to Australia were not involved, the Asio director general, Mike Burgess, said. Nour Haydar speaks with political correspondent Tom Mcilroy and senior reporter Ben Doherty about why the Albanese government has taken this historic step against Iran

Earlier this month an Australian-based Uyghur group launched legal action against Kmart in the federal court. The case has put the retailer’s supply chain under scrutiny for potential links to forced labour in China’s Xinjiang province. Nour Haydar speaks with senior reporter Ben Doherty about the legal action against Kmart and the warnings that Australia could become a dumping ground for products linked to forced labour

Australia’s gun laws are often called the gold standard for community safety, but almost 30 years on from the Port Arthur massacre that led to decisive reforms, there are more legal firearms in the country than ever before. Nour Haydar speaks with senior correspondent Sarah Martin and investigations reporter Ariel Bogle about why the number of guns in Australia is on the rise, the escalating threat of 3D-printed weaponry and why the gun lobby claims it’s ‘winning’ the fight against firearm control

Barrie Cassidy, Tony Barry, and George Megalogenis discuss how productive the economic roundtable in Canberra was this week, and which ideas the government will act on first. They also discuss how the prime minister, Anthony Albanese, has handled Benjamin Netanyahu’s continued attacks on his leadership

Back to Back Barries: roundtable reforms, and diplomatic rows

The Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has launched a diplomatic attack against his Australian counterpart – calling Anthony Albanese ‘a weak leader’ who betrayed Australian Jews. The row kicked off when Australia pledged to recognise a Palestinian state alongside international allies in response to the deaths of tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians. At the time, Albanese claimed Netanyahu was ‘in denial’ at the suffering of civilians in Gaza. Bridie Jabour is joined by the editor, Lenore Taylor, the head of newsroom, Mike Ticher, and deputy editor Patrick Keneally to discuss Australia’s relationship with an increasingly isolated Israel

Calls for childcare reforms have become louder since revelations surfaced of multiple sexual abuse charges laid against a Victorian worker. Federal and state education ministers are set to meet on Friday in an attempt to restore faith and safety to a service few can live without – but is real change possible? Senior reporter Kate Lyons talks to Reged Ahmad about whether the government’s next moves will give parents and carers the reassurance they desperately need

Can the government keep kids safe in childcare?

Six months on from their explosive meeting in the White House, Volodymyr Zelenksyy once again met with the US president, Donald Trump, in Washington. But this time the Ukrainian president arrived with the support of key European leaders, who dropped everything in the hopes of securing a potential deal to end the war with Russia. Washington DC bureau chief David Smith speaks to Nour Haydar about whether Europe’s united front managed to steer Trump away from the Kremlin, what chance is left of a ceasefire and how Trump welcomed Vladimir Putin back on to the world stage

Zelenskyy suits up for peace but can Trump deliver?

As Labor’s much-hyped economic summit begins, the prime minister, Anthony Albanese, and the treasurer, Jim Chalmers, say they want to hear big ideas to bring about the reform Australians are hungry for. But does the government’s talk match its political ambition? Reged Ahmad speaks to chief political correspondent Tom McIlroy about how Labor’s economic roundtable will shape the future of Australia

Labor go looking for an economic legacy

Barrie Cassidy and Tony Barry examine Labor and Liberal positions on recognising Palestine and ask: will the prime minister change Australia’s position on the issue? They also discuss the many obstacles to net zero, if 16-year-olds should be given the vote and why Barrie came last in maths at school

Back to Back Barries: does Albanese care more about polls or Palestine?
