    NDIS Overhaul Explained & New Kylie Minogue Doco Announced

    The National Disability Insurance Scheme was designed as a lifetime guarantee, ensuring eligible Australians receive the individualised support needed to live an ordinary life.  In a major shift ahead of the May Budget, the government is moving to tighten spending, including a plan to remove 160,000 people from the NDIS. But for the families who rely on this funding for therapy and essential daily support, there is a growing fear that the safety net is being pulled back before public systems are ready to catch them. We're joined by ABC National Disability Affairs Reporter Nas Campanella to unpack what these changes actually look like in practice and whether the NDIS can be made sustainable without leaving our most vulnerable behind. 🗞️ HEADLINES Fuel tax cut extension could be on the cards as national cabinet get an update on Australia's fuel crisis.  Iranian state media reports the country has seized two ships in the Strait of Hormuz The Allan Labor government unveils a nearly $138million plan to curb crime in Victoria New Kylie Minogue documentary announced, charting the stars success and enduring legacy as a pop icon.   📩 GET IN TOUCH Got a story, news tip-off, feedback or dilemma?

    The Secret Group Chats Where Men Plot To Drug & Rape Their Wives

    It starts with a message in a group chat: a man asking for advice on exactly how much sedative to slip into his wife’s tea tonight so he can sexually assault her while she's unconscious. Following the horrific 2024 trial of Dominique Pelicot in France, a new investigation has revealed that this wasn't an isolated case, but a thriving global ecosystem. From 'sleep' content on major porn sites to private forums where men livestream their drugged partners for a fee, the scale of this internet-enabled abuse is staggering. We’re joined by CNN Paris Bureau Chief Saskya Vandoorne, who infiltrated these secret 'brotherhoods' to expose how these men operate under the cover of anonymity and why platforms are still failing to stop them. If you or someone you know needs help it's available. You can contact 1800 RESPECT on 1800 737 732 or Lifeline on 13 11 14. 🗞️ HEADLINES President Donald Trump has ruled out any further ceasefire extension,  saying he will resume military action if a deal is not struck Conservative podcaster Tucker Carlson has publicly apologised for supporting Donald Trump The Coalition has launched a negative social media campaign targeting One Nation ahead of the Farrer byelection The Federal Government is set to unveil major reforms to the $50 billion NDIS today A new medical trial has prevented bowel cancer from coming back in every single patient  📩 GET IN TOUCH Got a story, news tip-off, feedback or dilemma?

    If your social media feed has convinced you that everyone has ADHD, new data is offering a reality check. Freshly released figures expose a hidden story: your diagnosis might depend more on your postcode, your paycheque, and whether there’s a doctor nearby rather than your actual symptoms.  Today, we’re joined by Dr Norman Swan to unpack the national prescription records, which state is such a massive outlier, and what it really costs to get an assessment in Australia’s mental healthcare system. 🗞️ HEADLINES Iran is considering attending peace talks with the US in Pakistan, a senior Iranian official says.
