News Weakly – 17th August, 2024
A weekly round-up of the top news stories in Australia, and around the world; punched in the head until they make sense.
Written and presented by journalist & comedian Sami Shah.
TOP STORIES OF THE WEEK
Don’t bet on betting reform!
Also, Peter Dutton does Peter Dutton stuff!
And, Breaking the Dance!
In this week's episode of News Weakly, Sami Shah dives into the biggest stories with his signature wit and sharp commentary. First, he tackles Australia's ongoing gambling problem, highlighting the staggering $25 billion lost annually, the government's reluctance to enforce betting ad bans, and the cozy relationship between politicians and the gambling industry. Next, Sami takes aim at Peter Dutton's latest controversial comments regarding Gazan refugees, exposing the thinly veiled racism and the political tactics behind them. Finally, he reflects on the recent Olympics, where Australia’s unconventional approach to breakdancing sparked a mix of pride, ridicule, and conspiracy theories. All this and more, delivered with the humor and insight that makes News Weakly a must-listen.
