This week on Karl Weekly.
A family with a severely autistic son says they’ve been blindsided after being told their NDIS funding will be slashed by 80 per cent. Karl speaks to Luke Tunnecliffe and Aimee Newbold about the devastating impact the cuts could have on their son Jack – who is nonverbal, suffers seizures and requires around-the-clock care.
Then, Melbourne businessman Dominic Porter joins Karl after allegedly being targeted in a terrifying home invasion just days after his pub was firebombed. Porter says intruders entered his home allegedly trying to shoot him while his wife and children were inside.
Plus mortgage broker Joseph Daoud explains why he spent nearly $18,000 on Canberra airport billboards attacking the government’s tax changes. He warns Australians the country is becoming hostile to aspiration, investment and small business.
And later, Karl reacts to the latest political insanity: MP pay rises during a cost-of-living crisis, confusion in a Senate inquiry over gender laws and the ABC’s new podcast deal with Grace Tame.
NDIS cuts. Melbourne crime. Tax fury. Canberra chaos. This is Karl Weekly.

This week on The Karl Stefanovic Show.
A mind-bending conversation with Ben van Kerkwyk exploring some of the biggest mysteries in human history.
From the alleged labyrinth buried beneath Egypt, to the possibility humanity has completely misunderstood ancient civilisations, Ben breaks down the theories capturing millions online — and why some researchers believe advanced engineering and knowledge may have existed thousands of years earlier than we think.
Karl asks the obvious question:
If discoveries beneath Egypt could rewrite history… why aren’t people like Joe Rogan or Elon Musk funding the excavation themselves?
The conversation dives into black holes, consciousness, lost technology, ancient construction techniques, and whether modern society is more fragile than we realise.
It’s one of the wildest conversations we’ve had yet. Watch now.

Australia’s housing debate just turned explosive.
This week on The Karl Stefanovic Show, housing advocate Maiy Azize from Everybody’s Home goes head-to-head with property investor and founder Jack Henderson over the future of Australian housing.
Should negative gearing and capital gains tax concessions be scrapped? Are investors driving up house prices? Will Labor’s housing changes make rents even worse? And is the Australian Dream now completely out of reach for young Australians?
The debate quickly turns fiery as the panel clashes over rent caps, affordable housing, government intervention, property investors and whether Australians simply need to lower their expectations about where they live.
From Sydney house prices and regional affordability to social housing and the future of home ownership, this is one of the most explosive debates yet.
