And what will the impact be on the survivors and families of victims of the Christchurch attack? LiSTNR’s investigative journalist Joey Watson joins Sacha Barbour Gatt in today’s deep dive to discuss.  Follow The Briefing: TikTok: @thebriefingpodInstagram: @thebriefingpodcast YouTube: @TheBriefingPodcast See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    'A police officer punched me': MP hospitalised in wild protest

    What began as a peaceful rally in Sydney’s Town Hall Square turned into scenes Abigail Boyd MP says she never thought she’d witness in New South Wales. In this episode of The Briefing, the NSW Greens MP joins Natarsha Belling to describe the moment she was knocked to the ground and allegedly punched by police while filming a protest, and what she says unfolded around her as officers moved in on demonstrators, including people praying, elderly protesters and families with children. As the NSW Premier and Police Commissioner defend police actions and label the rally violent, Boyd rejects those claims, pointing to hours of video footage she says tells a very different story.  Headlines: A high-profile barrister has been found dead in his home, Ghislaine Maxwell has invoked her Fifth Amendment right to silence in front of a US congressional committee, and Sussan Ley has come out firing.  Follow The Briefing: TikTok: @thebriefingpodInstagram: @thebriefingpodcast YouTube: @TheBriefingPodcast See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
