If you follow Peter Van Onselen at all, he is having a great back and forth with LNP Senator Gerard Rennick about politicians superaunnuation.
On the ‘The Professor and The Hack’ podcast today, PVO and Hugh Riminton were discussing the pollies getting 15% super in contrast with the 9.5% they want to keep the majority of workers on.
Rennick said “Happy to give up the 15.4% super - will Keating give up his >$300k p.a. super - he’s the hypocrite” after Keating was heavily critical of the govs super stance.
PVO and many others piling on to make sure Rennick doesn’t renege! Love it when podcasts spill over into social media discussion!

The ABC continues to release high-quality podcasts with Stuff The British Stole and Thin Black Line after recently receiving the 2020 Award for Best Network or Publisher by the Australian Podcast Awards, alongside an array of awards for individual podcasts.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are advised this media release contains the names of people who have died.
Stuff The British Stole is the story of colonialism, told through stuff… Award-winning journalist, podcaster and author Marc Fennell (SBS’s The Feed , ABC’s Download This Show , Audible’s It Burns ) takes listeners on a globetrotting account of history as he traces the journeys of artifacts from across the world and how they’ve come to be housed in British museums and galleries.
Marc, calling this series his “favourite” podcast so far, selects one artifact each episode and is taken on a wild, evocative, sometimes funny, often tragic adventure of how it got to where it is today.
“I realised these objects were a great doorway into our history, my history, Australia’s history, and the history of dozens of countries,”
Go on an incredible and thought-provoking journey with Marc through the streets of London to Nigeria to Kolkata, from the bushland of Cobargo all the way to Beijing with Stuff The British Stole .
For a story on Australian soil, you can now hear the full series of Thin Black Line , presented by Walkley Award-winning investigative journalist Allan Clarke ( Unravel True Crime: Blood On The Tracks ).
Listen to the complete series of Thin Black Line and discover why Daniel Yock’s death had such a profound impact.
The podcast returns to the scene, on a spring afternoon in Brisbane’s Musgrave Park, as 18-year-old traditional dancer and amateur boxer Daniel Yock is drinking with his mates. When a police van arrives, the mood suddenly changes, triggering a dramatic chain of events… Thin Black Line is a deep dive into what happened that day — according to the one eyewitness who saw it all unfold, speaking publicly for the first time in almost three decades.
Listen to the complete series of Thin Black Line and discover whether Daniel Yock’s death was a tragic accident or unfinished business.
Hear these podcasts and more on the ABC listen app, alongside all the award-winning ABC podcasts recognised at this year’s Australian Podcast Awards, Walkley Awards for Excellence in Journalism and the Australian Museum Eureka Prize for Science Journalism.
Good to see another news service provide a product for less fluent audiences. There’s the News in Slow [language] independent podcasts that come out weekly and SVT Sweden has done a short, daily bulletin in easy Swedish for a good while.
A Two-Part Podcast Special. Available Now. Only On 10 Speaks.
10 Speaks’ award-winning podcast series 10 News First Person presents a two-part podcast investigative series called The Conspiracy Virus , hosted by 10’s National Affairs Editor, Hugh Riminton.
Produced by journalists Antony Loewenstein and Olivia Rosenman, the special investigates the explosion of misinformation in the 21st century and focusses on two highly talked about and contentious topics: the Covid-19 vaccine and climate change.
Hugh Riminton, said: “More than ever we need to examine the forces that make conspiracy theories so easy to launch and so hard to refute. Quite clearly, there are lives at stake. As we have seen recently in the US, there are entire systems of government potentially at stake.
“I have known and admired Olivia Rosenman’s work since my CNN days more than a decade ago, and Antony Lowenstein has amassed a huge body of work questioning conventional wisdom on a host of issues. They are the perfect people to drill more deeply into conspiracy theories and the damage they do.”
The Conspiracy Virus podcast series was produced in partnership with 10 News First Person and the Judith Neilson Institute for Journalism and Ideas.
The Conspiracy Virus Part 1: Covid and Vaccines and The Conspiracy Virus Part 2: Climate Change are available now on the 10 News First Person podcast on Acast, Apple, Spotify and other good podcast apps.
