May 30, 2022 How the 'wild west' of crypto crashed
Things aren't going so well for Australians who've invested in cryptocurrencies.
The digital currency world, buoyant for so long, went into meltdown this month, with prices collapsing to near historic lows, and over a quarter of the global market evaporating.
It's the crash of an unregulated market full of inherent risks, but it's also a market increasingly being used by criminal gangs around the world.
Today, ABC Four Corners reporter Stephen Long on cryptocurrency's dark side.

May 29, 2022 The Uluru statement and Australia's next referendum
With a new Parliament to be sworn in soon, it's a momentous time for Indigenous Australians, who are now represented by more MPs and Senators than ever before.
Added to that, the prime minister Anthony Albanese is promising to deliver on the Uluru Statement from the Heart, after five years of delay under the Coalition.
That will require a referendum, the first Australians would face since the Republican vote in 1999.
Today, the ABC's Indigenous Affairs editor, Bridget Brennan, on what could be a difficult path ahead.

May 26, 2022 Can Anthony Albanese improve our global reputation?
Australia has taken a reputational hit on the international stage in recent years, mainly due to a stance on climate change that has lagged behind most other developed nations.
Now, it's up to Anthony Albanese to fix it, and to take on China as it seeks to push its way into the affairs of Pacific nations.
Today, ABC TV Insiders host David Speers on the new Prime Minister's first outing on the world stage, and the mounting challenges he faces.

May 25, 2022 The Texas school shooting
Once again, America is in shock after a mass shooting, this time in a primary school in Texas that left at least 20 dead.
The US president, Joe Biden, has vowed to act on gun laws, but no leader before him has managed to overcome the might of the nation's gun lobby.
And now, with a radically conservative Supreme Court stacked with judges appointed by Donald Trump, the right to carry a gun could be expanded even further.
Today, we get the insights of a reporter who spoke to 12 mass shooters, as he investigated what could have been done to stop them.

May 24, 2022 The election 'Greenslide'
During the election campaign, the Greens say they knocked on 90,000 doors in Kevin Rudd's old seat of Griffith in Brisbane, a drive replicated in other key seats across the city too.
On Saturday, it all paid off, with the party securing the best result in its history.
Its success will change the dynamics of our parliamentary system, particularly in the Senate, where Labor already has a bitter history of negotiating with them on environmental policies.
Today, ABC 7.30's Queensland reporter, Peter McCutcheon, on how the Greens plan to translate their success into climate action.

May 23, 2022 How Scott Morrison lost the Liberals their heartland
Voters in seats held by the Liberals for decades have rejected Scott Morrison and his party in droves, instead turning to independents with platforms on climate change action and integrity in government.
Today, the ABC's Fran Kelly on how Scott Morrison stopped listening to his party's heartland, and the painful period ahead for the election losers.

May 22, 2022 Laura Tingle on what to expect from Anthony Albanese
It's the start of a new political era, with Anthony Albanese about to be sworn in as Australia's 31st prime minister.
He'll be navigating a dramatically different parliamentary landscape: Labor and the Coalition have lost significant ground to a record number of independents and Greens, with the crossbench more than doubling in size.
So why have voters turned on the major parties?
Today, ABC 7.30's chief political correspondent, Laura Tingle, on the delicate balance Anthony Albanese has ahead of him, and whether he can succeed.

May 18, 2022 Annabel Crabb on the crucial women's vote
It's been an election campaign where Scott Morrison and Anthony Albanese have criss-crossed the country donning hard hats and high visibility safety vests.
But how does that resonate with Australian women, who will play a more crucial role than ever before in determining who our next prime minister will be?
Today, the ABC's Annabel Crabb on why women are increasingly angry at their treatment, and how the traditional party system seems to be ignoring them.
