What does Joe Biden have to do to curb US gun laws?
Will Joe Biden be the US President who actually changes gun culture in America? 19 students and two teachers were shot at an elementary school in Texas last week. It was the 27th school shooting in the US this year. It feels like every time it happens we hear the same calls for action on guns, AND the same rhetoric from the NRA and gun owners…..that the Second Amendment is the right to bear arms. We’re joined by Farrah Tomazin, the US correspondent for The Age and Sydney Morning Herald. So where to now for Joe Biden? What are his options…? Could he be the US President who actually changes gun culture in the US once and for all?

Why some superstars have had enough of TikTok
In just 12 months, the video app TikTok has transformed the music industry….artists can reach audiences like never before. Directly getting new music to their fans in seconds. But some artists say they’re being told to create content purely for the short-attention span market of TikTok. Halsey blew up last week after her record company insisted she create a FAKE post to promote a song she wanted to release. We’re joined by Reuben Styles-Richards from Peking Duk who takes a hilarious approach to TikTok….and Cameron Adams, LiSTNR’s feature music writer who says record companies are using social media to fill the void created by no one buying albums anymore. In today’s Briefing, TikTok’s growing influence in the global music industry and why musicians are unhappy about it.

Daniel & Luke - Yiayia next door
Daniel and Luke Mancuso are brothers who live in Melbourne’s northern suburbs. In 2010, after 23 years of marriage their parents separated. What followed was a campaign of intimidation and coercion by their father Paulino towards their mother Teresa. Hang up calls. Stalking. Threats. Rumors… Three years later, Daniel and Luke’s beloved mum was murdered at home by their father.These two remarkable young men have since moved back into what was once their family door and reconnected with their Greek neighbor Nina. Nina, or YiaYia, as she is known to Luke and Daniel, insists the boys are two skinny and over the past eight years she’s been passing home cooked meals to them over the fence. That relationship is now documented in a heart warming instagram and has since spawned a cookbook. https://www.yiayianextdoor.com.au/ Follow The Briefing DON'T FORGET TO SIGN UP FOR THE BRIEFING NEWSLETTER.

What will the Liberal Party look like in 2030? Deyi Wu is President of the NSW Young Liberals. Her brutal assessment of the election loss is both honest and troubling. Deyi says the Liberals under Scott Morrison sought to divide the electorate and in doing so, drifted away from core Liberal policies. So in today’s Briefing…. the next generation of the Liberal Party’s assessment of Scott Morrison’s election loss, and what the party’s future should look like.

A reminder what the Uluru Statement actually is
New Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has promised a referendum on the Uluru Statement from the Heart. So what is it? What will Australians be voting on? The Statement itself calls for an Aboriginal voice to parliament and a Makarrata Commission, a process of agreement making between governments and First Nations and truth-telling about their history. It came from a convention bringing together over 250 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders at the foot of Uluru. Thomas Mayor was one of the 250 signatories. He’s written a book on his 18-month journey taking the statement all across Australia. The book is Finding the Heart of the Nation. On today’s Briefing, what is the Uluru Statement from the Heart? And will it finally provide a voice for the people of Australia’s First Nations?

In today’s Briefing…Dave Sharma explains how and why the Liberals lost touch with the electorate and if he believes the party’s new leader Peter Dutton is the man to lead the party out of the wilderness.

Should we be worried about 'flu-rona'?
Everyone knows someone who’s been floored by the flu. And many say this flu virus is the worst they’ve ever experienced. They say they feel way worse than when they had covid. Medical experts are worried about how quickly this so-called ‘super flu’ is spreading - particularly in Victoria. Cases have tripled, meaning some schools have had to go back to at home learning - and a lot of sporting teams are being affected - Collingwood lost their captain recently, and a Western Bulldogs player has been sidelined for more than four weeks with it. Dr Paul Griffin is an infectious diseases expert at the University of Queensland and Dr Paul explains fit, healthy people who are getting really sick. So, what do we need to know about this flu?
