How would you feel if details of your private chats, including your name, were released publicly, making you a target for attacks? 

That is precisely what happened to a group of Jewish creatives whose Whatsapp chats were leaked last week. 

In response the Albanese government has vowed to legislate against the practice of “doxxing” as it is called. 

But is it even possible to make laws against this? 

Plus, we talk about the PM’s engagement to his partner Jodie Haydon, Barnaby Joyce’s little lie down on a Canberra street, and the final episode of Nemesis.

Today, we are joined by Dr Simon Copland from Australia National University, and as always, our chief political correspondent David Crowe, to discuss the week in politics.
