The Week That Was: Tax Revolts, Million-Dollar Jetsetters, and Origin Selection Chaos

The political pressure cooker is boiling over this week as federal Labor faces an unprecedented backlash from both voters and its own ranks. From controversial changes to capital gains tax and negative gearing to allegations that Canberra is completely out of touch with small businesses and aspiration, the government is firmly on the defensive. Brent sits down with former Independent Mark Latham for a fiery edition of The Week That Was. Mark and Brent unpack NSW Premier Chris Minns breaking ranks to slam bracket creep, and the growing fury over Climate Minister Chris Bowen burning through $1 million in taxpayer funds on international travel while Aussies suffer through soaring power bills. Plus, they dive into the dramatic political backflips in the NSW parliament over the Good Character Bill, the reopening of the Minns donations scandal, and the selection chaos surrounding Laurie Daley’s NSW Blues ahead of Game One of the 2026 State of Origin. Hit play for a sharp, no-holds-barred wrap of the week's biggest headlines.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
