    DEEP DIVE: Can the government really get big tech to turn off algorithms?

    11/09/2026 | 19 mins.
    On Tuesday Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced a plan to force tech companies to give users the option to opt out of algorithms.
    The Prime Minister says this will protect people from harm and give users more control over what they see online, but critics argue the ultimate goal is censorship.
    So would you opt out if you had the choice? And how will this all work?
    In this week's deep dive we unpack the government's plan for a digital duty of care, and what it could mean for your social media feed.
    Guest:
    Sophie Scamps, independent MP
    Cam Wilson, national AI reporter, ABC

    INTERVIEW: Is all hope lost? We asked a climate scientist

    09/09/2026 | 25 mins.
    Should we be freaking out? Last week the United Nations warned the world is on the path to climate catastrophe, and the chance to stop global warming exceeding 1.5 degrees had passed.
    The news comes after a year of headlines about climate related disasters - from deadly heatwaves in Europe, to calls for climate compensation in Nepal.
    So why didn't the UN's warning cut through? And what would a warmer world look like for you?
    In today's long listen climate scientist Sarah Perkins-Kirkpatrick unpacks what exceeding 1.5 degrees of warming will mean for the world, how it feels to be a climate scientist right now, and why she says there's still hope.
    Guests:
    Sarah Perkins-Kirkpatrick, Professor of Climate Sciences at the Australia National University
