  1. Why did Elon Musk call the Australian Government fascists?

    Why did Elon Musk call the Australian Government fascists?

    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.

    Rupert Murdoch's successor: Who is he?

    The most powerful media family in the world are facing off in a secret courtroom battle in the U.S. Media mogul Rupert Murdoch wants his son Lachlan to have control over the vast media empire’s future, but his other children are trying to block that from happening.

    Can the Secret Service keep Trump safe?

    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.

    Why are there astronauts stuck in space?

    Let us know any feedback you have in our survey! 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.

    When Donald met Kamala

    Let us know any feedback you have in our survey! 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.

    Can you stop children from using social media?

    The Federal Government said it will enforce minimum age requirements for social media users, but there’s still a lot we don’t know about this proposal. How will it be rolled out and regulated, and above all, will it work? In today’s deep dive, Professor Lisa Given from RMIT takes us through what we know about this latest announcement, and whether it will actually stop young people from using social media.
