The Fertility Society of Australia and New Zealand (FSANZ) has released a new plan to overhaul how reproductive technologies like IVF are accessed and regulated in Australia. The findings reveal a system that discriminates against “non-traditional” families, is legislated inconsistently across the states and territories, and may not be prepared to meet future demand for these technologies. When starting a family becomes challenging, can Australians truly depend on the sector designed to support them? We explore the future challenges of IVF in today's deep dive.

The Federal Government has introduced a new piece of legislation to crack down on the spread of misinformation and disinformation on social media platforms. It’s an attempt to regulate false information from spreading in the online world, and is the second time the Government has had a go at this specific issue. Not everyone is pleased with the new legislation though, with critics arguing the legislation could override free speech principles in Australia. In today’s deep dive, we’ll explain the history of this legislation, what the latest bill says and why it’s being criticised.

On Sunday local time, there appeared to be another assassination attempt on former U.S. President Donald Trump, who is also the current Republican candidate for the presidential election in November. It was the second time in about two months that a gunman had been in shooting distance of the former president. Now, questions about how this could happen to a man who is constantly surrounded by security are intensifying.

Over the past few months, you may have seen headlines that two astronauts are currently stuck in space.

Now to be clear, NASA and Boeing have really tried to deny that these astronauts are stuck or stranded or whatever word you want to use that implies they aren’t able to leave.

But we do know one thing. The two astronauts were only meant to be in space for eight days, but now they will be there for at least eight months.

So how did this all unfold? We are going to get to the bottom of it in today’s deep dive.

Yesterday we saw the first U.S. Presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

It was fiery, robust and, at times, very… messy.

It was also very different to the debate we saw between Trump and Biden in June. Then, Trump seemed like the almost certain winner. But now, it’s neck and neck.

If you missed it, or if you’re just here for a debrief, we’ll go through some of the key takeaways in today’s podcast.
