| 4/16/26 |  Squiz Shortcuts: How civil and criminal courts differ | We hear about big court cases in the news all the time - but the outcomes of civil and criminal cases in Oz can be very different, even if the underlying facts are similar… One of the key differences between the 2 systems is the standard of proof that has to be met. It’s a factor that’s not always clear, so in this Squiz Shortcut we’ll try to help with that, and also explain where else civil and criminal courts differ and why the system works this way. Squiz Recommends: Reading: This piece from The Guardian about how Ben Roberts-Smith’s criminal trial for alleged war crimes will differ from the defamation case he brought against the Nine newspapers… SPONSORED - For practical tips, guidance and tools to help you prepare, visit xero.com/paydaysuper Got a suggestion for a Squiz Shortcut topic?

| 4/14/26 |  Squiz Shortcuts: The last time we rationed fuel | The Albanese Government has just launched a new media campaign encouraging Australians to use less fuel. As the war in the Middle East continues to pressure global oil supplies, the campaign is part of an attempt to avoid fuel rationing - something we haven’t had to do since the 1970s. So in this Squiz Shortcut, we’ll take a look at what we’ve done in the past with fuel rationing, what it would take to get to that stage again and how it might work… Squiz Recommends: Listening: This episode of the ABC’s If You’re Listening - it gets right into the background of what happened the last time we ran out of oil. Reading: And here’s the piece from the Australian War Memorial we mentioned - it’s a really expansive look at the history of fuel rationing during World War II.

| 4/9/26 |  Squiz Shortcuts: The arrest of Ben Roberts-Smith | A major Australian news story broke around lunchtime on Tuesday, when the former soldier Ben Roberts-Smith was arrested at Sydney airport. He’s since been charged with 5 counts of the war crime of murder; the culmination of not only a lengthy investigation by federal authorities, but also media reports that date back even further. It’s a story that ties together our defence forces, defamation laws, some of our richest people and our history in Afghanistan… So we thought we’d take a look at what’s happened so far and what might come next. Squiz Recommends: Reading: This piece (paywall) by reporter Nick McKenzie follows Roberts-Smith’s journey from war hero to accused war criminal. Reading: This podcast series by The Guardian called Ben Roberts-Smith v the Media which follows the defamation case brought by Roberts-Smith against the Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, and the Canberra Times over reports by McKenzie and his colleague Chris Masters.
