The Briefing Headlines May 2

The Briefing Topic

Catherine Deves is the Liberal Party candidate for the Sydney seat of Warringah, handpicked by Scott Morrison, and she's been in the spotlight for offensive comments she’s made - and since deleted - about the trans community. 

 

Ms Deves says she’s protecting women’s sport but her critics say the sports debate is a veil for bigotry.   We're joined by Dr Ada Cheung, an endocrinologist and founder of the Trans Health Research Group at The University of Melbourne. 

On today's Briefing, we go from the politics to a bit more of the science with an expert in hormone therapy and its impact on the body.

 

Todays Headlines
Labor ahead at the halfway mark
Trapped Ukrainians evacuated from Mariupol
Biden mocks Trump at White House press dinner
Olympic sport shake-up ahead of Brisbane 2032
