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.

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.

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! See below for more info on the role.

Getting you across the week in news - we’re back with the Coalition and climate policy, because it was announced this week that the Liberal Party were officially abandoning the net zero targets set by former PM Scott Morrison. We’ll take you through what that entails, and what’s yet to unfold. Then it’s over to the US for the latest in the Trump/Epstein saga. And finishing up with the announcement of Victoria’s new ‘Violent Crime, Adult Time’ laws and Menulog shutting up shop.

Getting you ready for the week ahead in news, we take a look at 3 big things to watch out for. This week, climate policy will be front and centre as world leaders gather in Brazil for COP30. It’s also the 50th anniversary of the day democracy was tested right here in Australia: the dismissal of Gough Whitlam as Prime Minister. Then we get you across why the visit of a Syrian leader to the White House is so significant.

And if you haven’t listened to the Weekly Wrap yet, just go one episode back and, coupled with this podcast, you’ll be caught up and ready to tackle the week ahead.
