Are there really that many problems with our genitals that require surgical intervention? Today’s guest think not.

Fourth NSW Shark Attack in 48 Hours as Crocodile Strikes in QLD

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/4001a6fc-795e-4e23-bbcd-b3d60170a0f5/transcript

Parliament has been recalled early to debate hate speech and gun control laws in the wake of the Bondi terrorist attack.

What began as a push for national unity has become a divisive legislative battle, forcing Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to split the original package into two separate bills; but will these laws make an impact? And will they even pass at all?

And in headlines today, Experts are warning that recent weather conditions may be contributing to the spike in shark attacks in Sydney; Text messages between the Norwegian Prime Minister and US President Donald Trump have revealed how committed Trump is to taking over Greenland; Indigenous Australians and their allies are hoping they will be able to mark January 26 invasion day as police decide whether the protests can go ahead as planned; Prince Harry has told a court it is "disturbing to feel that my every move, thought or feeling was being tracked" so the publisher of the Daily Mail could "make money out of it"; Valentino Garavani, the jet-set Italian designer whose high-glamour gowns - often in his trademark shade of "Valentino red - have graced red carpets for decades, has passed away
