Trump's War Unleashes a New Catastrophe, Confecting an AFL Drama, and the Media Unlearns its Lessons

Trump’s war threatens what’s left of the global order, the media won’t call Lebanon an invasion, and a confected AFL row.

Os and Scott look at how Trump and Israel's war on Iran is spiralling out of control and threatening to derail what's left of the global order on trade and diplomacy. Then they dig into Israel's invasion and occupation of Lebanon and look at why the Australian media is so reluctant to call it an invasion.

Later in the show, they look at the confected media controversies around the Sydney Biennale and the allegations the AFL and Sydney Swans are anti-Semitic and should be investigated by the Bondi Royal Commission.

Plus, a belated farewell to David Littleproud, a discussion over whether these leadership changes will have any impact on the Coalition's vote, and The Saturday Paper loses a star reporter.
