from The Radio National Hour · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation
The Royal Commission into Antisemitism and Social Cohesion has begun in Sydney with a clear mandate and a tight deadline, but as the Jewish community reckons with the atrocities of Bondi will expectations meet reality? Former Federal Court judge Ronald Sackville says the deadline of December 14, 2026 will limit what the Royal Commission can achieve. Movie award ceremonies are famous for protest speeches and competing egos but a special kind of controversy has erupted in the wake of the BAFTAs after a member of the audience shouted racial slurs at black actors on stage. The outburst has been blamed on Tourette's Syndrome sparking a fierce debate about the disability and whether we should be apologising for it.Ozempic was invented to treat people with diabetes, but it's morphed into a weight loss free-for-all. A new book by journalist Aimee Donnellan called Off the Scales explores this dramatic and lucrative medical and social revolution.
