A former First Lady putting her story to publication may not be unusual, but Melania Trump's memoir feels hotly anticipated. 

With very little shared ahead of its release, except of course her pro-abortion revelation, we've all been left wondering... what is she saying with this book? 

And is the timing of this memoir release suspicious? Were on the case.

Australians woke up on Saturday morning to the news that the US Supreme Court had voted to overturn the constitutional right for American women to access abortion. Amelia Lester is an Australian journalist living in Washington D.C, she joins us to help unpack what’s happening on the ground over in the U.S.

Plus, a few weeks ago, we had a vibrator dilemma that broke the Internet. Now, there’s another one…

And we’ve got our Jessie back at last. So, what DID she do on her holidays, how much do cocktails cost after inflation? And what does she want you to know about what it's really like traveling in a post-Covid world?

How many of us are early voting, and how will that impact getting a result on election day?
