If, over the weekend, you watched the coronation of King Charles, stood up in your living room and read out a pledge of allegiance – you were probably in the minority of Australians.
But that was the invitation from the palace in the lead-up to Saturday evening’s coronation ceremony.
So, how relevant is King Charles III? Is a republic now possible? And how quickly could another referendum be upon us?
Today, co-chair of the Australian Republican Movement and human rights activist Craig Foster on the coronation, Anthony Albanese’s decision to attend and the path to a republic.

Since the budget dropped on Tuesday night, the Coalition and some parts of the media have begun to pick a very strange fight.
It’s over whether some of the most vulnerable in the community should really get more help than middle-class Australian households with two incomes.
It pits the two against each other and ignores a much bigger cost coming down the pipeline: tax cuts that will benefit the wealthiest Australians the most.
Today, columnist for The Saturday Paper, Paul Bongiorno on the strange politics at play and why there are bigger questions we should be asking.

What happens when an organisation founded on radical activism decides to work with, instead of against, authorities?
For Captain Paul Watson that conundrum has led to an acrimonious split from the organisation that he started, Sea Shepherd.
Watson has been hailed by some as a hero for his exploits against whaling ships on the high seas — but others say he’s an ‘eco-terrorist’ who has given environmentalism a bad name.
Today, national correspondent for The Saturday Paper Mike Seccombe on whether this is the end for Paul Watson’s brand of high-stakes environmentalism.

Imagine being arrested, put into custody – and in desperate need of medical care.
Who is responsible for helping you? Who are you meant to turn to for healthcare?
For Veronica Nelson, who died in custody in 2020, a private company was responsible – Correct Care.
Today, contributor to The Saturday Paper Denham Sadler takes us inside how a contract to look after the health of prisoners was taken away then put into some very similar hands.

Tonight’s budget promises relief for Australia’s single parents, who will receive extra income support until their youngest child turns 14.
It’s a reversal of a controversial decision made by the Gillard government.
So does this signal a broader attempt to address the standard of living for the most vulnerable Australians? Or, is it a rare bit of relief in an otherwise tough budget?
Today, Finance Minister and Minister for Women Katy Gallagher on how her own time on the single parent payment shaped her views and what the government is doing about the housing crisis.

There’s one relationship the Liberal Party has always prized: its relationship with business.
Other support bases for the party have ebbed and flowed, but the party has always drawn from the ranks of corporate Australia, and advocated for their interests.
Now, strangely as the party finds itself in electoral crisis, its federal leader, Peter Dutton, is speaking out against heads of business on a surprising topic: the Voice to Parliament.
Today, former Liberal MP and contributor to The Saturday Paper Julia Banks, on how the Liberal Party is losing corporate Australia.

This week, the way the government chooses to spend its money was put into sharp focus.
On Monday, it announced a bold new plan for military spending, but soon after, it found itself besieged by calls to raise the rate of JobSeeker – for Australians struggling with poverty.
So, why can we afford to spend money on one, but not the other? And is it a question that voters will start asking?
Today, columnist for The Saturday Paper Chris Wallace on the question that is turning up the heat on Anthony Albanese ahead of the budget.

After more than half of voters at the 2022 federal election said climate change was a top concern, helping Labor take power, it became known as the ‘climate election’.
But a year on, how much has really changed?
A 43 per cent carbon emission reduction target has been legislated, and the government promises we’ll reach net zero – but fossil fuel projects are still being approved.
Today, director of the Australia Institute’s climate and energy program Polly Hemming on what a year of Labor government has delivered for the climate.
