Albo’s post with podcaster investigated + We debate the 'war on woke'

from The Briefing · host LiSTNR

Thursday Headlines: Prime Minister and Abbie Chatfield's social media post being investigated by the AEC, Trump will hand down sweeping "Liberation Day" tariffs today, prosecutors to appeal NSW taser cop's sentence, Victoria passes new anti-vilification laws, QLD police powers expanded, Myanmar’s military declares a ceasefire to ease earthquake relief, and the Sydney train door that just wouldn't shut. Deep Dive: Peter Dutton’s war on wokeism is front and centre this week, with the Coalition claiming it's brainwashing young Australians—and even making them dumber.   But what does ‘woke’ actually mean, and why is it celebrated by some yet condemned by others?  In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou speaks with Dr. Bella d'Abrera from the Institute of Public Affairs and linguist Dr. Karen Stollznow from Griffith University to unpack the word and find out if it’s dividing the nation.
