#OnePlusOne travelled across the stunning landscape of Australia to sit with Elders on their Country. They shared stories with @Dan_Bourchier of their lives, culture and home. It’s been a true privilege to get to know each of these Elders. https://t.co/TXCd17FFlZ

Have you heard of Ozempic? It’s a PBS-listed drug for Type 2 diabetes in Australia, which people have started using for weight loss – but experts warn it’s no miracle drug. So how does it work – and does it have any side effects? The Drum’s Ghada Ali explains. #TheDrum

We have a cracker of a panel to talk about the fallout from the NSW result, the historic Climate Safeguard deal and how much we are prepared to pay for Olympic medals. Frankly, if its a dud show, it will probably be my fault.
