The ugly truth about your delicious bacon sandwich

Thursday Headlines: Greens unveil new plan to legalise weed, Trump tariff chaos continues, Indigenous incarceration rates have jumped 20% since 2019, and Leonardo DiCaprio criticises Australian government for mine expansions.

Deep Dive: Australians consume around 17 kilograms of processed meat annually with the 4 billion dollar industry offering quick-fix meals and pushing high protein diets.

In this episode of The Briefing Helen Smith is joined by Lucie Morris-Mar, an investigative journalist and author of Processed: How the Processed Meat Industry is Killing Us with the Food We Love, who was diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer at just 44.
