The $1bn loophole funding nose jobs, tummy tucks + Did we help bomb Iran?

Tuesday Headlines: Iran's targeting the US largest military base in the middle east in Qatar, a Queensland mother accused of torturing her one-year-old for social media fame has had her case delayed, Aussies are spending big on 'extravagant and unnecessary medical procedures', Australia’s eSafety commissioner is urging the government to include YouTube in our world-first social media ban, and the final season of Netflix’s most successful series ever set to launch this week.

Deep Dive: Deep in the middle of Australia sits the so-called “jewel in the crown” of our military alliance with the US: Pine Gap. The top secret joint defence facility is well positioned for powerful spying on the Middle East.

But our Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will not say if it was used by the US in its “Operation Midnight Hammer” strikes on nuclear sites in Iran at the weekend - nor whether Australian authorities were given advance notice of the attack.

In this episode of The Briefing, Natarsha Belling speaks with Greens Senator David Shoebridge about whether we're being dragged into a war and why Pine Gap is so valuable to the US but kept secret from the Australian public.
