Weekly Wrap: A Royal Commission into anti-semitism, and Betty Boop in the public domain

from News Club · host The Squiz

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has now called for a Royal Commission into antisemitism and social cohesion - a big turnaround from a few weeks ago, when he was stridently against calling one. There’s plenty of questions for us to help answer on that. We also cover off US President Donald Trump’s moves on Venezuela and Greenland, and then get into the eSafety Commissioner going after X and its AI bot, which is being used to generate sexualised deepfake images of women.
