    NDIS Overhaul Explained & New Kylie Minogue Doco Announced

    22/04/2026 | 14 mins.
    The National Disability Insurance Scheme was designed as a lifetime guarantee, ensuring eligible Australians receive the individualised support needed to live an ordinary life.
    In a major shift ahead of the May Budget, the government is moving to tighten spending, including a plan to remove 160,000 people from the NDIS.
    But for the families who rely on this funding for therapy and essential daily support, there is a growing fear that the safety net is being pulled back before public systems are ready to catch them.
    We're joined by ABC National Disability Affairs Reporter Nas Campanella to unpack what these changes actually look like in practice and whether the NDIS can be made sustainable without leaving our most vulnerable behind.

    The Secret Group Chats Where Men Plot To Drug & Rape Their Wives

    21/04/2026 | 24 mins.
    It starts with a message in a group chat: a man asking for advice on exactly how much sedative to slip into his wife’s tea tonight so he can sexually assault her while she's unconscious.
    Following the horrific 2024 trial of Dominique Pelicot in France, a new investigation has revealed that this wasn't an isolated case, but a thriving global ecosystem. From 'sleep' content on major porn sites to private forums where men livestream their drugged partners for a fee, the scale of this internet-enabled abuse is staggering.
    We’re joined by CNN Paris Bureau Chief Saskya Vandoorne, who infiltrated these secret 'brotherhoods' to expose how these men operate under the cover of anonymity and why platforms are still failing to stop them.
