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?

Have the Bilo Tamil family been given a fair go?

Have the Bilo Tamil family been given a fair go?

Two asylum seekers arrived from Sri Lanka on separate boats almost ten years ago. They fell in love and married, had two children and settled in the small QLD town of Biloela. Three years ago the Federal government decided they were not entitled to visas and deported them. The family appealed – and it’s been mired in the courts ever since. The family is now in detention on Christmas Island. We talk to Immigration lawyer, Greg Hanson and a friend of the family, Angela Fredericks to try to determine if the family has been granted the one thing Australians hold dear – a fair go.
