from News Club · host The Squiz

Getting you ready for the week ahead in news, we take a look at 3 big things to watch out for. This week, climate policy will be front and centre as world leaders gather in Brazil for COP30. It’s also the 50th anniversary of the day democracy was tested right here in Australia: the dismissal of Gough Whitlam as Prime Minister. Then we get you across why the visit of a Syrian leader to the White House is so significant. And if you haven’t listened to the Weekly Wrap yet, just go one episode back and, coupled with this podcast, you’ll be caught up and ready to tackle the week ahead.  Links The Mushroom Tapes By: Helen Garner, Chloe Hooper, Sarah Krasnostein The Booker Prize shortlist Steve Irwin Day and Harriet the Galapagos turtle Want more News Club in your life?
