The Briefing Headlines May 5

What you need to know about Palantir

Tuesday Headlines: 
Government to keep EV tax break despite cost blowout
Three dead in waters off NSW as rescue goes wrong
UAE intercepts Iranian missiles for first time since ceasefire 
Calls for urgent action after revelations police can be tracked through their tasers
Britney Spears pleads guilty to reckless driving
Met Gala is about to get underway in New York 

Deep Dive: Palantir has grown from a post-9/11 counterterrorism tool into a powerful AI platform now embedded across military, security, and corporate systems, including here in Australia. 

But its ability to collect and analyse huge amounts of data is raising big questions about privacy, surveillance, and who really has control and challenging the idea that if you’ve got nothing to hide, you’ve got nothing to worry about. 

In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou chats with Greens senator David Shoebridge about how Palantir’s presence in Australia poses a national security risk and why he’s calling for closer scrutiny.
