7am · Andrew Denton on a beloved broadcaster's final taboo act · 28 Apr 2026 podcast

Andrew, you've been campaigning for this for so long now and you've achieved so much.

Also in the news, the federal government's released draft laws aimed at forcing major tech companies to pay for Australian news published on their platforms.

Under the proposed news bargaining incentive, platforms like Meta, Google and TikTok would face a tax of 2.25% of their Australian revenue if they don't strike commercial deals with news publishers.

The government says the law is designed to fix gaps in the existing bargaining code, after platforms were able to avoid payments by pulling back from news, and is expected to raise up to $250 million a year.

I'm Nicole Johnston, and this is 7am.

Thanks for listening.

This is Donald Trump comparing himself to Abraham Lincoln and JFK.

The president became the likely target of an alleged shooter who charged a security point armed with guns and knives.

For a moment, the White House Correspondents' Dinner continued, the president and his guests seemingly unaware, until the Secret Service pulled Trump from the stage and formed a human shield around him.

This is the third alleged assassination attempt on Donald Trump in two years.

I'm Nicole Johnston and you're listening to 7am.
