Staying on the ATO’s good side This EOFY
Phil chats with Jovan Cvetkoski, Financial Adviser at Knight Group, about how to avoid common tax mistakes. The ATO is cracking down on: Work-from-home claims: Only claim the portion used for work (e.g. phone or internet). Investment property deductions: 9 in 10 landlords get it wrong—check your figures carefully. Capital improvements: Renovations like kitchens or bathrooms aren’t deductible, but added to your property’s cost base. Lodging too early: Wait for all your income data (banks, dividen...

Nadine Lalich recounts her alien encounter
Phil speaks with Nadine Lalich, alien abductee, researcher, and author, who recounts a chilling camping trip in Sedona. It was late on the evening of June 15, 1991, when Nadine and her friend, Pamela, pulled into the empty lot of Banjo Bill Park in Sedona, Arizona. After the long drive from California, they planned to sleep in the van and then head into town the next day. Sometime after midnight, Nadine awoke to the sound of people outside walking around the vehicle. Alarmed, she quickly sat up,...

Iran throwing rocks from the shadows
Phil chats with futurist Skeeve Stevens about Iran’s limited cyber power. While active, Iran’s cyber capabilities are weak compared to the US and Israel. Any major offensive would be quickly crushed, as seen in their minor symbolic attacks like the one on the US base in Qatar. Israel’s Unit 8200 is considered the world’s top cyber force—possibly even stronger than US Cyber Command. Iran may use proxies, phishing, and disinformation, but it’s the digital equivalent of throwing rocks from the shad...

He recommends reviewing deductible expenses, finalising repairs, and checking loan and insurance details before June 30. “EOFY is the ideal time to reset your financial strategy and m...

As rents continue to rise, how will Aussies cope?
With rents soaring across cities and regional areas, Phil speaks with property expert Garth Davis about what’s driving the crisis—and how Aussies can cope. Garth points to skyrocketing property prices, rising migration, and a lack of new builds due to cost uncertainties and low confidence among developers. To ease pressure, he says we need to encourage investors to buy and hold rental properties—selling to owner-occupiers only shrinks the already limited rental pool and pushes rents even higher....

What will be the fallout from the US strikes in Iran?
President Trump has called recent US airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan a “success,” confirming that American aircraft have left Iranian airspace. The strikes reportedly included the first-ever operational use of a 30,000-pound ‘bunker buster’ bomb. Phil speaks with Professor Aiden Warren from RMIT University to unpack the fallout. How effective were the strikes—particularly at the underground Fordow site? Will Iran retaliate? Could this trigger a wider war? And wh...

20% of kids don’t finish Year 12. Does it really matter?
