The Briefing Headlines Sept 4

Is Hughesy a political genius?

Friday Headlines: 
Teachers union hit back at Matt Canavan's claims Australia's education system is 'anti-boy' 
World told to brace for strongest El Nino on record
Lindsay Clancy jury remains deadlocked
France targets Temu and Shein with world-first fast fashion crackdown
It’s 20 years today since Steve Irwin died

Further listening from the headlines: 
The real victims of the manosphere with the CEO of The Man Cave, Ben Vasiliou about the lessons we need to learn about the manosphere and ‘toxic masculinity’. 
Why the Lindsay Clance case matters

Deep Dive: Dave Hughes has gone from making Australia laugh to telling Australia how to vote.  

Since the May Budget, the comedian-turned-self-described "political agitator" has waged an increasingly loud campaign against the government, despite admitting he's only recently started paying more attention to politics.  

So is Hughesy a genuine voice for the fed-up - or just the loudest bloke in a system that rewards shouting? And is this what real political engagement looks like now - or just anger dressed up as insight?  

In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou is joined by broadcaster and three-time independent candidate Alex Dyson, who took Hughesy on in a "spicy chat," to dig into this new era of political anger and whether we will ever see a system that prioritises people over power.
