Trump’s use of National Guard illegal + Our ‘secret’ $400m prison island

from The Briefing · host LiSTNR

Wednesday Headlines: Neo-Nazi leader Thomas Sewell arrested, US Federal court rules Donald Trump's deployment of National Guard to LA protests illegal, over half of our Federal MPs and senators own investment properties or multiple homes, Adelaide Crows player Izak Rankine apologises for homophobic comment, and what's something you don't want to find in your burrito? Deep Dive: Australia has signed a $400 million-plus deal with Nauru to deport and resettle 280 non-citizens.  The Government argues the offshore arrangement protects the integrity of our visa system, while critics are calling it cruel, costly, and extreme.  In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou speaks with Greens Senator David Shoebridge about the deal, why he says it’s creating a “21st century prison colony,” and what’s really driving Australia’s immigration policy.  Follow The Briefing: TikTok: @thebriefingpodInstagram: @thebriefingpodcast YouTube: @LiSTNRnewsroom Facebook: @LiSTNR NewsroomSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
