Are Australians racist? + The world's at war, should I fly?

Wednesday Headlines: Donald Trump's warning to Israel, Australia’s mental health reform plan 'not fit for purpose,' First Nations people are experiencing racism at a rate forty percent more than a decade ago, Antoinette's Federal Court judgement to be handed down today and a Victorian region wants a big fruit to put them on the map!

Deep Dive: With tensions in the Middle East sparking flight cancellations and diversions, many Australians are questioning whether their mid-year travel plans are still safe or even possible.

Airspace closures, ceasefires, and rapid developments have made for an unpredictable lead-up to July, the busiest month for Aussie travellers.

In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou speaks with Dean Long, CEO of the Australian Travel Industry Association, about what’s happening in the skies and how to protect your holiday plans.
