Australia’s leading forum for debate and powerful first-person stories, Insight, returns to SBS and SBS On Demand on Tuesday 3 March at 8:30pm. With respected host Kumi Taguchi returning to guide the discussion, the new season opens with High on Immigration. In 2025, 53% of Australians surveyed by the Lowy Institute said they believe the annual number of migrants arriving in Australia is too high[i]. This episode goes beyond the statistics to explore the lived experiences behind the debate.
Upcoming episodes will question whether the art of debate is disappearing from public life, if jealousy and envy can be embraced and channelled for positive outcomes, and whether we’re getting the balance right as gender-affirming healthcare continues to evolve.
The new season of award-winning international documentary series Dateline, premiering Tuesday 3 March at 9:30pm, will deliver a fresh line-up of leading global investigative stories and extraordinary characters. The premiere episode examines how the largest immigration crackdown in US history is tearing the city of Minneapolis apart and creating a political crisis for President Trump.
Future episodes will investigate Vienna’s revolutionary approach to affordable inner-city housing – and what happens to those who miss out, the rise of far-right politics in Glasgow in the lead-up to the 2026 Scottish election, Nepal’s Gen Z revolution, and why the deeply Catholic nation of Peru is facing a monogamy crisis.
