    Long time migration agent says migration policy must address skills shortage

    15/04/2026 | 7 mins.
    The Coalition says it has a plan to restore "integrity and confidence" to Australia's migration system, with Opposition Leader Angus Taylor vowing to slash the intake and enhance screening in a major policy speech this week.
    Many working in the migration sector agree reform is vital - but for economic rather than security reasons; arguing the system is failing to address skills shortages and drive productivity.
    GUEST: Mark Glazbrook, migration agent and Managing Director of Migration Solutions

    Breakfast Wrap: IMF warns of global recession

    15/04/2026 | 24 mins.
    The International Monetary Fund has warned of significant pressure on the global economy and inflation if the war between the US and Iran is prolonged.
    Its worst-case scenario would see a global recession... inflation as high as six per cent... and elevated fuel prices all the way through 2027.
    We'll speak to Treasurer Jim Chalamers.
    Then, Israel and Lebanon have held their first direct talks in over three decades, with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio calling it a “historic opportunity”.
    But he also made clear no breakthrough agreement was expected, as the conflict -- between the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah and Israel -- continues.
    Back in Australia, the Opposition Leader Angus Taylor has outlined the first part of the Coalition's immigration policy, aiming to reduce migration, increase screening of visa applicants and kick migrants out of the country who do not abide by Australian values.
    Finally, we look back at three years of civil war in Sudan, which has seen more than 14-million people displaced.
    Recap the morning's news, politics and global affairs with the Breakfast Wrap.

    Changing Australia: Romane Cristescu on rescuing koalas with detection dogs

    14/04/2026 | 10 mins.
    They're known as man's best friend but in recent decades, dogs have become valuable allies to another very cuddly species — koalas.
    When the 2019-2020 Black Summer bushfires ripped through valuable koala habitat in Queensland and New South Wales, more than 60,000 koalas were estimated to have been in the path of the blaze and scientists hoping to rescue any survivors turned to detection dogs to track down the tree-dwelling marsupials.
    Guest: Dr Romane Cristescu, co-Director and co-founder of Detection Dogs for Conservation
