Tuesday Headlines: Major investigation launched after infant found dead in storm drain, Israel’s Foreign Minister revokes Australian visas, Matt Wright's being counter sued over death of mate, AFL launches investigation into alleged homophobic incident, and what do 'delulu', 'skibidi' and 'forever chemicals' all have in common?

On the one hand, you might get a nicer room and a shorter wait time for elective procedures if you’re prepared to pay for private. But if you find yourself in an emergency, would it be better to get the full resources and staffing of a public hospital?

In this episode of The Briefing, Helen Smith if joined by Nine reporter Christine Ahern, who has investigated private hospitals in Australia, to find out what you need to know. 

Further listening: What the actual f*** is skibidi toilet? and Are tradwives dangerous?
