The Year of the Voice

Australians will be asked to vote in a referendum on a First Nations Voice to Parliament, later this year. Some are calling for more detail, while others say this is a diversionary tactic. So can we reach agreement as a nation on this crucial issue? How divisive will the debate be? And what impact will it have on Indigenous Australians?

The debate is coinciding with a wave of violence and crime engulfing Alice Springs, amid claims of children as young as five roaming the streets at night. The PM has travelled to the town after local Indigenous politicians made pleas for help – should the government step in? And what impact will the crisis have on the discussion about a constitutionally enshrined Voice to Parliament?

January 26 is a day that forces us to confront our national identity – where we've come from, where we're heading and what kind of country we want to be. With the new King's coronation approaching, does our future lie with the monarchy or as a republic? What impact will Prince Harry's explosive revelations have on the republican movement? Is it time to bid farewell to the royal soap opera?

Meanwhile as politicians prepare to return to Canberra, the government is likely facing other challenges. How will Anthony Albanese's team tackle the wicked problems facing Australians – including the cost-of-living crisis, increasing pressure on the health and aged care systems, and climate change?

Panellists: Craig Foster, Chair of the Australian Republican Movement; Malarndirri McCarthy, Assistant Minister for Indigenous Australians; Bridget McKenzie, Nationals Senate Leader; Lidia Thorpe, Greens Senator for Victoria; and Tom Calma, 2023 Senior Australian of the Year & Aboriginal Australian human rights and social justice campaigner.

Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service

Restaurateurs who are looking for a quick fix or social media glow-up are in for the surprise of their lives when famed culinary titan Gordon Ramsay trades his signature chef knives for a state-of-the-art surveillance vehicle and cutting-edge spyware in FOX's all-new unscripted series, Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service. In a Gordon Ramsay series first, Chef Ramsay will venture into struggling restaurants under the cover of night. With the help of a secret source on the inside, he'll gather raw, unfiltered evidence and get a 360-degree view of the major issues facing each restaurant. This insider will not only remain a secret to the staff, but will also help Ramsay infiltrate the restaurant after-hours for a dramatic nighttime black light kitchen investigation that reveals more filth and grossness than ever before. By the time Ramsay reveals his identity, it will be too late for staff to cover up their culinary crimes. Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service will be his toughest assignment yet as he takes drastic measures to transform not only the restaurant but also the staff, because Gordon knows he can upgrade the menu and renovate the restaurant, but the most important change has to come from the people. Are the restaurant and staff willing to accept Gordon's mission, or are they too far gone to be saved?
