It’s your week in news and what’s coming up with Claire Kimball and Kate Watson.

A big announcement out of South Australia for us. Quite a few strands to pull out on the rise of One Nation. We also give a few updates on stories we’ve been following - unrest in the UK, the SpaceX IPO, and the relationship between Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu. And Kate’s counting the days until Toy Story 5.

It’s your week in news and what’s coming up with Claire Kimball and Eliza Harvey.

We’re starting this week with a couple of big market moves with Anthropic and SpaceX moving towards listing as public companies. Sounds complex, but we’ve sweated it to make it relevant for you. Also violence and more political turmoil in the UK, and we’ll get you up to speed on why AUKUS was a big deal in the news this week. Claire shares a little bit about her mum and motor neurone disease, with the Big Freeze on at the MCG on Monday. And in a nod to her, she has a favourite recipe of hers to recommend.

You may have seen those 47% memes going around, taking aim at Labor's tax changes - we’ll unpack what those are about, as well as the rest of the budget debate from this week. 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. Plus, we have a recommendation for a shortcut in life.

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.

Today we explain the government changes to the NDIS - something that impacts a lot of Australians. Plus, why the debate about taxing gas companies was all over the news this week. And there’s been a couple of notable leadership movements at major companies - Apple CEO Tim Cook stepping down, and Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings stepping down as chairman.

One of our two oil refineries caught fire this week, because of course, we didn't have enough issues with fuel supply. We'll take you through that, plus the latest in the Iran war - Israel and Lebanon have a ceasefire deal and the feud between Trump and the Pope. We'll also talk about Meghan and Harry's royal (but not royal) Australia tour. And we'll cap things off with a nice, palette-cleansing recommendation.

This week, we're starting with the imminent return to Earth for the Artemis 2 crew. Then we're helping you make sense of the US-Iran negotiations — how Israel and Lebanon factor in, and where Australia sits in all of it. We'll look at the economic ripple effects, including what's happening with oil and how we're securing enough of it. And we’ll cover the arrest of former SAS soldier Ben Roberts-Smith, who has been charged with five counts of war crime murder.
