Weekly Wrap: Israel-Oz tensions, skibidi in the dictionary, and your survey responses

from News Club · host The Squiz

It's been a rough week for the Australia-Israel relationship… Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu is furious about the Albanese Government's decision to recognise Palestinian statehood, and took aim at our PM this week. We also cover where we've landed with Russia-Ukraine after a week of talks about ending the war. And we’ll get you across the key takeaways from the Economic Reform Roundtable, along with Cambridge Dictionary’s Gen Alpha update. In what's coming up, there are a couple of big court dates for both Erin Patterson and Brittany Higgins, and Qantas will release its full-year profit after this week’s record IR fine.
