About this episode

Os and Scott discuss recent news events, including Labor's gambling ad reforms and a controversial healthcare decision regarding anti-Semitism.

Os and Scott kick off by talking through some of the big news from the past few days, including Donald Trump's 250th Independence Day event, the celebrity wedding of the century and the Socceroos exit from the World Cup. Then they discuss the renewed media focus on Labor's proposed gambling advertising reforms and why they have started to draw a bigger backlash from the media. Later, they explain why a new decision by the healthcare regulator to embrace a controversial definition of anti-Semitism has worried so many doctors and nurses and how it will be used to further limit criticism of Israel.
