Welcome to the first episode of The Real Story with Joe Hildebrand! Join journalist, broadcaster, and now podcaster Joe Hildebrand as he breaks down the stories Australians are talking about and what's really going on behind them. 

This week, fresh out of lock-up, Joe’s talking about the 2024 federal budget. Why boring is sometimes better, and he weighs in on one criticism being levelled from both sides at the government’s proposed $300 electricity rebate: should cost-of-living relief be going to billionaires? Plus, Joe gives his 'insider' perspective on the Cumberland Council book ban controversy that has been making headlines globally.
