Headlines: Govt to cut 160K NDIS recipients

Today’s episode discusses distressing themes, and includes references to a First Nations person who has died. 

At 11:30pm on Saturday, 25 April, a five-year-old girl was put to bed at a home in Alice Springs. Two hours later, NT Police received a call from her distraught mother, saying the girl was missing. What followed was one of the Northern Territory's biggest ever searches, a murder charge, a riot, and political and community uproar. Today we're explaining the disappearance and death of Kumanjayi Little Baby.

Foreign Minister Penny Wong has dismissed suggestions Australia could lease submarines from Japan if the AUKUS deal fails, during a visit from the Asian nation's leader.

Headlines: Antisemitism royal commission hearings begin

Last week, the federal government finally announced a long awaited draft that is set to regulate the relationship between social media companies and news companies. Now, this comes after a number of years of consultation, of which TDA was a part. And it's now up to the tech companies and news companies to respond to the draft before it's set to hit parliament later in the year. In today's podcast we'll explain what the legislation sets out to achieve and how it might impact your social media feeds.

Hosts: Sam Koslowski and Zara Seidler
Producer: Orla Maher
