Can Australia Admit to Our Trump Moment? Plus, the Wild Epstein Conspiracies and the ABC’s Missing Show

Os and Scott watched Karl Stefanovic's hour-long interview with Anthony Albanese so you didn't have to. They break down why the interview was embarrassing for everyone involved, how Stefanovic has cultivated a hard-right audience, and why that's now blowing up in his face.

Next, they look at the disruptive impact Pauline Hanson and One Nation are already having on our political system, including influencing the federal government on immigration policy and their approach to Australian women and children trapped in Syria. They examine whether the media coverage of One Nation has improved, and discuss what journalists, and political parties, could do differently.

Later in the show, Scott breaks down some the harmful Epstein conspiracy theories finding traction on social media and why they are resonating when the actual truth is scandalous enough.

In Keeping Tabs, Os and Scott look at why the ABC suddenly pulled an episode of Australian Story, which it had been hyping up for days, and share some of their favourite stories from Australian media outlets over the past week.
