    Breakfast Wrap: Scrutiny of aged care funding algorithm

    04/06/2026 | 24 mins.
    It's been revealed this week an algorithm - used to determine how much government funding older Australians should get to help them live at home - has caused dozens of mistakes.
    We put questions to the Minister for Aged Care and Seniors.
    Then, as the US flags new tariffs on Australia and Canberra continues to sell its revised second-hand sub deal with Washington, you'll hear from Australia's former Ambassador to the US and federal Treasurer Joe Hockey.
    The BBC's Barbara Plett-Usher will fill us in on the political response in Kenya to the Ebola outbreak in the DRC and America's controversial plans for a quarantine centre.
    And we'll explore the outrage in the UK around a murder, and body-cam footage showing a now under-fire police response. 
    Recap the morning's news, politics and global affairs with the Breakfast Wrap.
