Last weekend, neo-Nazis gathered outside NSW parliament. Organisers had registered the protest with police – and nothing was done to stop it going ahead. When two female politicians spoke out against the fascists who gathered, they were targeted with threats of violence and death. The premier has said there will be an investigation into how this was allowed to happen. But this protest is not isolated. Neo-Nazis have been gathering in cities and towns in recent months, marching through the streets and terrorising communities. Back in September, they marched from an anti-immigration rally and descended on Camp Sovereignty – a sacred place for First Nations people in the heart of Melbourne. They attacked and hospitalised people who were gathered there. Today, writer and 7am host Daniel James – on what happened at Camp Sovereignty and the continued enabling of neo-nazi-violence. It’s Sunday, November 16. This episode was originally published in September. If you enjoy 7am, the best way you can support us is by making a contribution at 7ampodcast.com.au/support.

Sussan Ley and the killing season to come
This week, the Liberal party officially scrapped net zero – a move widely expected, but out of line with public opinion and science. It also raised questions about Sussan Ley’s handling of the policy debate, and ultimately about her leadership. As the right faction of the Liberal party celebrates its victory, speculation continues about when Sussan Ley will keep her job. There’s also the question of how the Liberal party can ever hope to win an election when key electorates and voting blocs have made it clear they want action on climate change. Today, press gallery journalist Karen Middleton on the Liberal party, the climate – and the killing season to come.

How the Catholic church fights abuse survivors
A year ago, the High Court handed down a decision that was a blow to survivors of child sexual abuse everywhere. In a case brought by a man who was abused as a little boy, the Catholic Church’s Diocese of Ballarat argued that they couldn’t be sued for the actions of one of their priests, because priests are employed by God – not by the Church. The ruling in the Church’s favour left thousands of survivors devastated – but the Court said it was now up to parliaments to act. Recently, the ACT government went first, legislating to overrule the High Court decision, in a major win for victim-survivors. Today, lawyer and advocate Judy Courtin on when the other states will follow – and how the Catholic Church will fight back.

Is Albanese pressuring Labor to keep quiet on gambling?
A letter to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has reopened the fight over gambling reform. Independent MP Andrew Wilkie is calling for a free vote in parliament on a ban on gambling advertising, saying it has significant support across the chamber. Inside Labor, many MPs say they want change – but are too afraid to speak publicly. It follows a Four Corners investigation that showed how online betting is harming Australians – and how the systems meant to protect them are failing. The government says it is acting, but two-and-a-half years on from a cross-party inquiry led by the late Peta Murphy, it has yet to implement any of its recommendations. Today, ABC investigative reporter Steve Cannane on what his Four Corners reporting uncovered, and how Labor MPs are being kept quiet.

The kids being kicked off the NDIS
As the year winds to an end, kids with autism and developmental delay face an uncertain future. Back in August, the government revealed plans to kick them off the NDIS – announcing a new scheme called Thriving Kids, set to kick off next year. The health minister, Mark Butler, said it would give kids better support – and go some way towards curbing the billions being spent on the NDIS. But months on, the government still hasn’t reached a deal with the states on how the scheme will be funded – despite threatening to withhold their hospital funding until they agree. Today, journalist Rick Morton on the fight over the future of Thriving Kids – and what the government is really doing to the NDIS.
