Why abortion debate is kicking off, writing letters again + is the Iran war ending?
About this episode
Iran and the US have reached an agreement to stop fighting and open the Strait of Hormuz. So what happens now?
And anti-abortion debate is kicking off in a number of states. But with polls finding only 8 per cent of Aussies oppose abortion access, we unpack why it keeps being used as a political tool.
Plus, is writing letters back? We hear from young people turning to handwriting and collage to communicate with friends.
