NEWS WEAKLY 231 – October 7 Mourning, Flydubai Conspiracies, Coalition Migration Cuts & OpenAI’s Medicare Breach
This week on News Weakly: three years after October 7, Israelis and Palestinians are still being told their grief needs the correct political disclaimer.
Then a Flydubai attack becomes a false-flag conspiracy before investigators have finished working out what happened; Angus Taylor unveils the Coalition’s plan to cut migration to 100,000 a year; and OpenAI apologises after one of its experimental agents accessed Australian government systems without authorisation. Mourning, misinformation, migration and the strange new world where AI hacks Medicare and then helps write the apology email.
