This week on The Panel, Karl Stefanovic is joined by Isaac Butterfield and Calista to cut through the week's biggest political stories—and ask whether Australians are being distracted from the issues that really matter.

From the Barnaby Joyce controversy and calls to change the Australian flag, to illegal immigration, self-defence laws, climate spending, manufacturing, energy policy and the cost-of-living crisis, the panel debates where Australia's priorities should really lie.

Are politicians focusing on the right issues—or are Australians being distracted while the country's biggest challenges continue to grow?

This episode covers:
Barnaby Joyce's viral interview

The push to change the Australian flag

Bob Katter on kids, country life and screen time

Should women be allowed to carry pepper spray?

Illegal immigration and border security

Chris Bowen's Fiji climate conference

Australia's justice system is under the spotlight.

Then, Leisa Jeisman shares the heartbreaking story of her teenage son, who was allegedly attacked by a gang in Perth, only to see one of the accused granted bail. She asks whether victims are being forgotten.
Plus, Tweed councillor Kimberly Hone discusses her suspension after questioning the mayor, and farmer Darcy Gervasoni explains why Australian agriculture is facing increasing pressure.

NOTE: On The Brutal Attack of Lucas Jeisman:
We reached out to WA Police, who said medical assistance was offered at the scene and declined. Police said the assault was first reported the following day, after officers had attended the initial gathering, and that detectives subsequently launched an investigation, charging five juveniles in relation to the attack. Police also confirmed that one juvenile pleaded guilty to assault occasioning bodily harm, but the Children's Court imposed no punishment under Section 67 of the Young Offenders Act.

Tonight on the UK Brief, Reform UK's London mayoral candidate Laila Cunningham joins Karl Stefanovic as Britain reacts to Andy Burnham taking over as Prime Minister.
Cunningham delivers a blunt verdict on the new government, warning: ‘More government. More spending. More failure’ – and arguing Britain can't afford another government like this.
We also examine the growing debate over migrant crime and deportation after Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni deported a Pakistani imam who appeared on national television defending the marriage of nine-year-old girls. Cunningham says anyone who advocates child marriage is a paedophile, regardless of their religion or background.
And a confusing GB News interview with an Afghan migrant has reignited questions about Britain's asylum system, illegal migration and how people are entering the UK.
Watch the full interview with Laila Cunningham.
