Dutton target of alleged terror plot + Why Netflix is so not chill

Friday Headlines: Peter Dutton allegedly target of a schoolboy terror plot, RBA pours cold water on significant rate cuts, Brisbane woman gives birth to stranger’s baby in IVF bungle, magic mushrooms treatment for eating disorders to be trialled in Melbourne in ‘world-first’, the BOM forecasts one of our warmest winter's on record, and US parents sue school over child’s spelling bee loss.

Deep Dive: It’s been just 10 years since Netflix launched in Australia—but in that time, it’s reshaped the way we watch TV, launched global conversations, and become a powerful player in what content gets seen and shared.

But how does a show make it onto the platform—and into the global Top 10? And as streaming competition heats up with the launch of MAX by Warner Bros Discovery, will Netflix stay on top?

In this episode of The Briefing, Helen Smith speaks with Dr Alexa Scarlata, lecturer in digital communication at RMIT, to unpack the state of streaming in Australia.
