“I Like It When Things Go Wrong” Tony Armstrong’s Plan To Change The Conversation

Tony Armstrong has done a lot in his 36 years of life; he's pursued footy at the highest levels, completed a stint of sports reporting and even nabbed himself a Logie.

We know he's read the news, but now he's taking a flamethrower to it in his new ABC special Always Was Tonight - a First Nations-led news satire, promising to decolonise the news, one headline at a time.

Tony joins The Quicky to explore how humour can sometimes get through where straight politics can't.

And in headlines today, Parliament will resume today, as MPs are called back early to pay their respects to the victims of the Bondi terror attack and work on laws to ensure it doesn’t happen again; Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been asked to join the Board of Peace to help rebuild Gaza by US President Donald Trump; A 13-year-old boy is fighting for his life after being bitten on the leg by a shark at a popular Sydney beach; US President Donald Trump has threatened to implement a wave of increasing tariffs on EU members until the United ⁠States is allowed to buy Greenland; Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke has revealed that she suffered a broken rib while shooting intimate scenes for her new spy drama Ponies
