We’ve also got the story of the activists intercepted off the coast of Gaza and Israel, and the NRL player who revealed his motor neuron diagnosis this week.

This week, we’ll help you understand the political debate around the budget tax reforms, plus a few tidbits you might not have heard about. Then, we feel obligated to get you across the significance of the result in the Farrer by-election last weekend. We’ll cover what came out of Trump’s China visit as well. Lots of politics this week, but never fear - Eurovision provides some relief, as does the American Country Music Awards, and a nostalgic recommendation from Claire.

A group of Australian women known as the 'ISIS brides' and their children have returned to Australia from Syria this week. We'll explain the background to that, and why legal experts are calling their legal case “completely unprecedented”.  Australians will have access to more of our plentiful gas reserves from next year under the new government policy, so we’ll bring you up to date there. And there’s been an outbreak of a deadly virus on a cruise ship, which has had us absolutely gripped this week.

This week, we’re starting with the abduction and death of the 5yo girl we now know as Kumanjayi Little Baby - it’s a tough one, but there are plenty of consequences to understand. We’ll also take you through some big announcements from the big tech companies this week, and we’ll talk about how AI is reshaping financial markets - investors are nervous is the headline there. We’ll also cover King Charles and Queen Camilla’s visit to Washington, including the Queen’s brooch diplomacy.
