Anger at new ‘secret’ defence panel + Inside our non-stop sales season
About this episode
Thursday Headlines: AUKUS submarine deal to be examined by secret government committee, at least 36 people killed in high-rise apartment fire in Hong Kong, teens launch High Court challenge to social media ban, Trump’s final criminal charge abandoned, and the TikTok awards were on in Sydney last night.
Deep Dive: Black Friday is no longer a single day, rather a month-long retail marathon that’s become the centrepiece of what feels like Australia’s never-ending sales season.
In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou speaks with QUT Professor Gary Mortimer about when this shift began, how it reshaped business, and whether it’s still worth chasing a bargain tomorrow.
