    Breakfast Wrap: Pauline Hanson's Muslim comments condemned

    18/02/2026 | 24 mins.
    One Nation leader Pauline Hanson is facing widespread criticism this week for suggesting there were no good Muslims in Australia. 
    She has since issued a partial apology.
    On the Breakfast Wrap we hear from the Muslim community in Western Sydney, and capture the political condemnation across the aisle. 
    Then, Australia's low debt status is being threatened; with the combination of federal and state debt heading towards levels not seen since World War Two. We'll get the latest analysis. 
    And the federal government has temporarily banned an Australian citizen with links to the Islamic State group from returning home from Syria. So for those who do return, what security measures are in place? 
    Recap the morning's news, politics and global affairs with the Breakfast Wrap.

    Changing Australia: Paul Litherland and protecting kids online

    18/02/2026 | 13 mins.
    With the social media ban for under 16s now in full swing - and other countries now following suit - many are watching closely to see how it will all work.
    But well before all this happened, Paul Litherland was working in Western Australia's technology crime unit.
    He dealt personally with victims of cyber bullying, grooming and predatory behaviour, as well as their families, and the perpetrators themselves.
    Over time, Paul realised he wanted to do more and he ultimately left the force to instead speak directly with thousands of children and young people around Australia - in a bid to stop online harm before it happens.
    A warning that this interview mentions suicide and suicidal ideation. If the interview raises any concerns for you, the number for Lifeline is 13 11 14.
    Guest: Paul Litherland is a former WA police officer and the founder of Surf Online Safe
