Hydroxychloroquine: what you need to know

Hydroxychloroquine is the drug at the centre of public debate and Donald Trump has revealed he’s been taking it to try and reduce his chances of getting Covid-19. Professor Marc Pellegrini (Walter & Eliza Hall institute of Medical Research) is the lead researcher on the Australian trial and joins us on today's show.

In today's news headlines:

  • Bushfire royal commission hears black summer “not a one-off”
  • Court rules Celeste Barber’s $51 million NSW RFS fundraiser can’t go to other charities
  • Preventing male suicide a focus of $20 million mental health package
  • Top medical body demands urgent information campaign after Pete Evans anti-vaxxer interview

In today's Briefing we ask: How dangerous are the side effects? What are the risks of taking it to prevent COVID-19? What does Australia hope to achieve with their trial? Why are populist right wing leaders latching on to Hydroxychloroquine as a COVID-19 solution?

The Weekend Briefing with Grace Tame

The Weekend Briefing with Grace Tame

Grace Tame made national headlines again this week after addressing the National Press Club amidst federal government sexual abuse allegations. Jamila Rizvi talks to the 2021 Australian of the Year who is leading the fight for survivors of sexual abuse to be allowed to tell their own stories. At 15-years-old, Grace Tame was abused by her high school maths teacher. While the media was permitted to talk about her legal case, laws in Tasmania prevented her from speaking publicly. She’s been fighting to change these archaic laws since she was personally granted a Supreme Court exemption to speak her truth in 2019. Grace talks about her personal journey of speaking on her terms and learning to love herself. She also touches on the media cycle, the recent allegations of sexual abuse in federal parliament and the culture in workplaces for such power imbalances to take place.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
