31 Aug 2022 | The only logical conclusion is that Chris Dawson killed his wife

Well, it's done. The trial that stopped Australia has a verdict: former teacher and rugby league player Chris Dawson killed his wife Lynette Dawson.

Judge Ian Harrison handed down a marathon five hour verdict on Tuesday on the murder trial that had caught Australia's attention.

Georgie Tunny and James Law sum up the verdict, and talk about just why Australia has been obsessed with this case, and why the Hedley Thomas podcast Teacher's Pet may be to thank for Lyn's family finally getting justice after four decades.

Elsewhere, we mark Anthony Albanese's 100 days in charge with a quick analysis of how the Labor Government has fared, from their highs and their lows, and just what we might expect next.

Georgie lets loose her inner fangirl and reveals just how excited she is about Taylor Swift's 10th album, and the other cultural moments that came from the VMAs.

And finally, Flash Drive farewells Georgie on her new adventure to Channel 10's The Project, and we mark a beautiful 30 episode run.

But don't worry, James Law will be back next week with a special guest.
