  • Weekly Wrap: A wrap-up of international conflicts, and it’s a yes to Tasmania’s new stadium
    We're starting this week with an around-the-grounds look at international conflicts. There's a fair bit happening with the Russia-Ukraine peace talks, escalating tensions with US and Venezuela, and we go through the latest from Gaza. Then we cover the update on the search for flight MH370, which is set to resume, Tasmania's AFL stadium finally being approved, and the PM's low-key wedding at The Lodge.

  • Weekly Wrap: Labor’s deal with the Greens, and we’re on track to eliminate cervical cancer
    There were 2 big stories out of the last sitting week of federal parliament for the year - the Albanese Government’s environmental law reforms passed with support from the Greens, and Barnaby Joyce dumped the Nationals. There's also a bit to get across internationally - the tragic fires in Hong Kong, progress on a Russia-Ukraine peace deal, and Japan and China are at odds over Taiwan. And there was some incredibly good news on the fight against cervical cancer that you might have missed.  Links  Robert Irwin’s Finale Freestyle on Dancing With The Stars New York Times profile on Robert Irwin  Jodie’s recommendation: The Names by Florence Knapp  Claire’s recommendation: Somebody Somewhere on HBO Max or Apple TV+ Want more News Club in your life?

    Getting you across the week in news - it was a big week in federal politics, starting with Australia ceding the bid to host COP31 (the annual global UN meeting) to Türkiye, and a hospital funding brawl between state and federal governments. Then we hop around state to state to cover off the biggest news stories from around the country. A big one is what's known as the 'killing season' in politics. We’re heading into ‘silly season’, but it’s ‘killing season’ for politicians, with leadership changes in both NSW and Victorian oppositions this week. We’re also hiring!
