Wednesday Headlines: Hate speech and gun laws pass parliament, new restrictions on MP travel expenses, tributes flow for Midnight Oil drummer, shock as Maya Joint knocked out of AO, and David Beckham 'responds' to son's explosive family feud reveal.
Deep Dive: Sydney has been rocked by three shark attacks in a little over 24 hours this week, plus a fourth in Northern NSW, sparking beach closures and fresh safety fears.
The incidents have also started a conversation on how to better educate the public about sharks and a push for better communication when it comes to when the water is and isn’t safe to swim in.
In this episode of The Briefing, shark bite policy researcher Professor Chris Pepin-Neff chats with Sacha Barbour Gatt to explain the need for a rethink when it comes to sharks in Australia.
