Number 1: Donald Trump’s ‘military intervention’ in the US economy
When news broke last week that America’s national debt had surged to a record high of $US40 trillion, it was notable enough. If the US economy shakes, the rest of the globe feels it. And then came the kicker: Donald Trump suggested he could use the military to stage an “intervention” on bond markets. Today, international and political editor Peter Hartcher discusses the declining global confidence in the American dollar and the US Treasury – and what Trump will have to do to avoid a global financial crisis. Background reading: How is Trump weakening American power? Let me count the ways The Morning Edition brings you the story behind the story with the best journalists in Australia.

Number 2: Mushroom murder appeal: The jury issue that could decide Erin Patterson's fate
In terms of criminal jury trials, what unfolded in the infamous death cap mushroom case was unique.Because when the jury was locked away from the outside world to consider a verdict, they were staying in the same hotel, in the same country town, as the police who investigated the case, the lawyers who prosecuted, and the media reporting on it. This strange arrangement has opened the case to suggestions that the jury was tainted – a central tenet of Erin Patterson’s appeal against her conviction. Patterson was sentenced to life imprisonment last year, with a non-parole period of 33 years, for serving a poisoned beef Wellington lunch to her in-laws Don and Gail Patterson, Gail’s sister Heather Wilkinson and her Baptist pastor husband Ian Wilkinson. Today, crime and justice reporter Erin Pearson and senior reporter Chris Vedelago on the curious case of the mushroom murder jury.

Number 3: The magical mystery tour of immigration numbers, and the new One Nation voter profile
This week we reported on some interesting polling that grappled with what makes One Nation voters tick, and one issue stood out. There’s also been an argy-bargy in the party this week over immigration numbers, the net result of which being, perhaps, that One Nation is not totally against migration. Meanwhile, the Labor government is yet to announce its migration plan and which visa classes it may cut, but the early talk of deportation of migrants sent shockwaves through some communities. Finally, we also talk about the AI data centres cropping up in Australian communities. Are they worth the investment and the energy drain? Today’s conversation is hosted by Jacqueline Maley, with chief political correspondent Paul Sakkal. Background reading: 1000 One Nation voters said why they were voting for Hanson – and what it would take to switch Albanese tells Queensland to get with the program on AI revolution If you enjoyed this episode and want to hear more, rate, review and subscribe on Apple, Spotify, YouTube or whichever platform you find your pods.

Number 4: What One Nation’s WA win means, and Hanson’s incitement claim
In this week’s episode, we dissect Labor’s brutal loss to One Nation in a supposedly safe seat in Western Australia. Does this byelection really signify, as victor Luke Herdegen put it, that no MP is safe from the “orange tsunami”? One Liberal MP who is worried is Andrew Hastie. Liberal strategists have been telling us his stance against accused war criminal Ben Roberts-Smith may cause voters in his electorate to defect to One Nation. Also, this week One Nation leader Pauline Hanson claimed Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s rhetoric was fuelling violence towards her. Is this a bit rich coming from someone who is so divisive? Or should we be looking at threats to politicians more seriously? Today’s episode is hosted, as usual, by Jacqueline Maley with chief political correspondent Paul Sakkal. Today's guest is WAtoday state political reporter Hamish Hastie.

Number 5: 'The CV is dead': How to get a job in the age of AI
If you’ve applied for a job in the past few years, you may have been humiliated by an AI program. Maybe while it interviewed you. Or threw out your CV. But lately, as AI recruitment programs have become way more sophisticated, so, too, have job hunters, enlisting AI agents of their own. Today, freelance writer Stephanie Wood on new ways that AI can discriminate against workers. And the best way to nab a job. Read Stephanie's feature here.
