Budget Backlash, Jai Arrow's MND Diagnosis & the Christchurch Link to a US Mosque Shooting

from Covered · host Annie Pullar & Jodi Lee

This week on Covered, the budget backlash explodes into a full-blown revolt as small business owners flood social media with AI-generated memes and the opposition seizes on the chaos. Rugby league is rocked by the devastating news that South Sydney star Jai Arrow has been diagnosed with MND at just 30. And a mass shooting at a California mosque carried out by two teenagers inspired by Christchurch killer Brenton Tarrant brings one of the darkest chapters in our region's history back into devastating focus.
