The Briefing Headlines July 27

Today’s AusAlert explained

Monday Headlines: 
Jacinta Allan expected to face leadership challenge
US and Iran pause strikes as fears petrol could return to $2 a litre in Australia
Berlin gay pride terror suspect shot dead
More bird flu detections in South Australia 
Australia's flag bearer wins gold at the Commonwealth Games

Deep Dive: There’s a good chance your phone and millions of others will freak out this afternoon. 

If things go to plan, all compatible mobile devices in Australia will sound a loud siren at 2pm AEST and display a "CRITICAL AUSALERT", as the federal government tests a new nationwide emergency warning system. 

In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou is joined by QUT Associate Professor Paula Dootson to unpack how the system works and who it might leave behind. They also discuss the unsolved risk for domestic violence victim-survivors who keep a hidden phone, and what some of the backlash says about our trust in government.
