Weekly Wrap: Palestinian statehood, the YouTube ban, and our favourite Aussie songs
from News Club · host The Squiz
It’s been a big week for discussion about recognising Palestine as a state. We'll explain what it means and Australia's position on that complex question. Then, it’s onto the Albanese Government’s announcement that YouTube will be included in the under-16s social media ban. The deadline for Trump's tariffs has passed, so we'll cover where Australia's landed. We also dive into Triple J's Hottest 100 Aussie songs of all time (but, because we like to be efficient, we're doing Claire and Jodie's Hottest 3 Aussie songs…). In what's coming up, the Garma Festival has started in Arnhem Land, the Super Netball Grand Final is on, and Sunday brings Aussie TV's night of stars - the Logies.
