‘Daddy’ Trump and his NATO kids + Dating app turned hate crime trap

Thursday Headlines: Iran-Israel ceasefire seems to be holding as ‘Daddy’ Trump meets with NATO chief, economists are tipping there’ll be a rate cut next month, NSW political staffers to appear at caravan plot inquiry after being threatened with arrest, Australia’s ranked eighth in the world for work life balance and Australia’s first home made rocket will attempt to blast off from Queensland (again)!

Deep Dive: There’s been a spate of horrific attacks on Australia’s gay and bi community, being fueled by social media.

Men are lured by offenders using fake profiles on popular dating apps like Grindr before being beaten and extorted, and the footage uploaded online.

Police say it’s happening around the world and in every Australian state, even with one holding a community forum in recent days to get the message out, and to prevent future attacks.

In this episode of The Briefing, Tara Cassidy speaks to Victoria’s LGBTIQA+ Communities Commissioner Joe Ball, and advocate Odus Moore, about what’s being done to crackdown on the crimes and why they need victims to speak up.
