This week three major newsrooms lost their access to the White House overnight - badges deactivated, reporters turned away at the gate. So can the U.S. President just ‘ban’ the news? Today we're breaking down why it happened, whether it's actually legal, and what history tells us about how these fights usually end.

Headlines: Cindy Crawford’s son dies at 27

Right now, it is completely legal to smoke a joint at home if you live in Australia’s capital city.

Travel twenty minutes across the border into New South Wales, and you could be looking at a court date. 

Across the country, three different governments are moving in three different directions on cannabis, with one easing the rules for patients, one pushing for a public vote on legalisation, and one cracking down harder than ever. 

Today we're mapping out exactly where Australia's drug laws stand, and why it all comes down to your postcode.

How Australia's weed laws are changing

Most of the emissions coming out of an Australian home come from four or five familiar machines: the car in the driveway, the hot water system, the heater, the cooktop. Rewiring Australia's modelling puts those household choices at more than 38% of the national total. The catch is that most of those decisions are made last-minute, when the hot water dies on a Tuesday and the plumber is already on the way with a unit on his truck. By Rewiring's count, about 5,000 Australians hit one of those moments every single day. The non-profit has spent years working out what actually happens when real houses go electric, street by street - but a handful of experts can only talk a few hundred households through it, and there are 11 million homes in this country. Today we're speaking with Francis Vierboom, CEO of Rewiring Australia, about Electric Saul. How do you have 11 million conversations at once? You build a free tool with Google AI that asks for your postcode and then talks to you like a mate at the pub.
