Weekly Wrap: Palestinian statehood, the YouTube ban, and our favourite Aussie songs
It’s been a big week for discussion about recognising Palestine as a state. We'll explain what it means and Australia's position on that complex question. Then, it’s onto the Albanese Government’s announcement that YouTube will be included in the under-16s social media ban. The deadline for Trump's tariffs has passed, so we'll cover where Australia's landed. We also dive into Triple J's Hottest 100 Aussie songs of all time (but, because we like to be efficient, we're doing Claire and Jodie's Hottest 3 Aussie songs…). In what's coming up, the Garma Festival has started in Arnhem Land, the Super Netball Grand Final is on, and Sunday brings Aussie TV's night of stars - the Logies.

The Big Threat: Brave New World
Against the backdrop of the devastating LA fires, with a new President in the White House and as Meta announces its retreat from fact checking, Bryce visits San Francisco where public broadcaster KQED is mounting a rearguard action to fight fake news, and meets with Stanford University’s Professor Sam Wineburg - an academic sounding the alarm on a looming global disinformation crisis.

Weekly Wrap: Parliament’s return, Trump’s Epstein problem, and the Hollywood costume designer from Kiama
Federal parliament is back, and with Labor's 51 seat majority, it was striking to see. We'll give you an around-the-grounds look at how each party is faring as they settle into this new term. Then it’s onto the infamous Epstein files, and why it’s a problem for Trump that’s not going away. We also discuss the joint statement on the escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza. In what's coming up, the Wallabies take on the Lions in Melbourne, some big inflation numbers are out, and Kiama celebrates a legendary Hollywood costume designer.

Weekly Wrap: Albanese’s Taiwan moment, a miraculous rescue, and getting ready for parliament’s return
PM Anthony Albanese has spent 6 days in China - his longest visit to another country since he took office. Taiwan was very much in focus while he was there, and it generated questions so we're diving into what exactly Australia's position is. Also, outback killer Bradley John Murdoch has died, new domestic abuse allegations against Mark Latham, and the miraculous rescue of German backpacker Carolina Wilga. In what's coming up, Tasmanians are set to vote, the Wallabies take on the Lions in Brissie, and our federal pollies get ready to start the new parliamentary term.
