Charlie and Jess are joined by returning co-host, Meanjin editor Esther Anatolitis. Together they talk to Sarah Elks, senior reporter for The Australian in Brisbane, about her recent investigative series on gun laws in Australia. What is the state of regulations and what would measures like a national firearms registry look like?

The team also discuss the latest figures in the Israel/Hamas conflict from the Committee to Protect Journalists, olive harvest and olive oil manufacturing in Greece, and an update on the David McBride whistleblowing case.
