    Pauline Hanson's Monoculture Pitch, Sydney's Shark Problem and a Royal Convicted of Rape

    This week on Covered, Pauline Hanson takes her monocultural pitch to the country at the National Press Club, her biggest speech in thirty years and a clear play to be taken seriously as a leader. We ask the question her critics keep laughing off, could she actually be Prime Minister. Then to the spate of shark attacks along the NSW coast, brought into focus by the recent mauling at Coogee, and the bigger question of why it keeps happening. Plus Norwegian royal stepson Marius Borg Høiby, jailed four years for rape.

    Pauline Hanson's Million Dollar Week, Trump's World Cup Mess and Australia's Baby Drought

    This week on Covered, Labor tried to fundraise off the threat of One Nation and it backfired spectacularly, handing Pauline Hanson a million dollar war chest and the slogan Fire the Liar. We get into the spin war that swallowed Australian politics, right down to the billboard truck targeting Jacinta Allan that dragged ditch the witch back into the conversation. Then to the FIFA World Cup, where Trump's America is threatening to derail the biggest sporting event in history, with Iran's team driving across the Mexican border to play and fans from a dozen countries locked out. Plus Australia is in a baby drought with the fertility rate hitting a record low.

    Grace Tame's ABC Controversy, the UK Murder Dividing a Nation and NSW's Cannabis Driving Reform

    This week on Covered, the ABC is facing accusations of hypocrisy after making Grace Tame the face of a new podcast about autism, with the appointment dividing ranks inside the national broadcaster itself. Then harrowing bodycam footage of 18-year-old Henry Nowak dying handcuffed in a UK street has triggered riots and a reckoning about race and policing that has the country asking who police actually protect. And finally, how high is too high? That is the question the NSW government is trying to answer after announcing sweeping reforms to drug driving laws for medicinal cannabis patients.

    The Teals Want a Party, Charlie Teo's Exile, and the Enhanced Games Verdict

    This week on Covered, the teal independents are in talks to form a political party but there's a real divide over whether a party and genuine independence can actually coexist. An Australian family is fighting to bring controversial neurosurgeon Charlie Teo back to Australia after he was banned from operating here, and we break down why his case is so divisive. And the Enhanced Games wrapped in Las Vegas, the doping-permitted Olympic alternative that put $25 million US in prize money on the table and earned almost universal ridicule.

    Budget Backlash, Jai Arrow's MND Diagnosis & the Christchurch Link to a US Mosque Shooting

    This week on Covered, the budget backlash explodes into a full-blown revolt as small business owners flood social media with AI-generated memes and the opposition seizes on the chaos. Rugby league is rocked by the devastating news that South Sydney star Jai Arrow has been diagnosed with MND at just 30. And a mass shooting at a California mosque carried out by two teenagers inspired by Christchurch killer Brenton Tarrant brings one of the darkest chapters in our region's history back into devastating focus.

    The Budget of Broken Promises, Angus Taylor's Last Shot and Australia's Hantavirus Nightmare

    This week on Covered, the budget of broken promises lands and we unpack who really wins and loses. Angus Taylor fires back with welfare for Australians only, as the Liberal Party fights for survival against One Nation. And five Australians are stranded after a deadly hantavirus outbreak on a disease riddled cruise ship leaves three people dead.

    ISIS Brides Home, Matt Wright's Prison Blow and Queensland's Ministerial Love Triangle

    This week on Covered, Australia's so-called ISIS brides touch down in Sydney and Melbourne after more than a decade away, and the AFP was waiting. We unpack the arrests, the children, and why the political fallout for the Albanese government is only just beginning. Then, crocodile wrangler and Netflix star Matt Wright is denied early prison release, meaning he will miss the birth of his third child by days. And in Queensland, a cabinet affair has exploded into a full blown integrity crisis - two ministers, a two year romance, and a multimillion dollar Olympic decision that raises serious questions about conflict of interest at the top of the Crisafulli government.

    Bondi Attack ‘Couldn’t Be Stopped’, Trump Assassination Plot & ISIS Brides Blocked

    The Bondi interim report is out and the biggest takeaway is confronting - authorities say there was likely nothing that could have been done to prevent the attack. We unpack what the recommendations actually say and why that conclusion is raising eyebrows. There’s also been a third alleged assassination attempt on US President Donald Trump. We get into the man reportedly at the centre of it including the bizarre, rambling manifesto calling himself “the friendly assassin.” Plus Australia’s ISIS brides saga takes another turn, with a group of women and children reportedly stopped from returning after attempting to fly back.
