Shownotes Transcript

A caravan of explosives and an anti-Semitic note with a list of potential targets: here's what we know about the planned mass-casualty event that was discovered in Sydney. 

Is it a potential act of terrorism, or is the discovery itself enough to put the community on edge? 

And Queensland has become the first state to ban puberty blockers for under-18s.  Advocates and doctors’ groups are furious. Where does it leave trans kids waiting for gender-affirming care?
