First Aussie gold at Olympics + The sex & spectacle of “Wuthering Heights”

Friday Headlines: We’ve won our first gold at the Winter Olympics, Liberal leadership spill today, Israeli President's visit to Australia wraps, ICE agents to pull out of Minnesota, Katie Holmes pays tribute to Dawson's Creek co-star James Van Der Beek and Kylie Minogue's been honoured with her very own Barbie collector doll.

Deep Dive: Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights has never been short on drama - but the latest big-screen adaptation is generating heat long before the final act.

Starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, “Wuthering Heights” leans hard into sex and spectacle, sparking backlash and fresh debate over casting, race and portrayals of abuse.

In this episode of The Briefing, Sacha Barbour Gatt is joined by LiSTNR Entertainment reporter Justin Hill to unpack the hype, and whether this gothic tragedy has been reborn for a new generation or rewritten beyond recognition.
