Pauline Hanson's burka stunt, taking on gambling ads + are cinemas back?
Update: 2025-11-25
Description
Pauline Hanson got suspended from the Senate today, and she's being condemned by all sides. But Muslim Australians say the damage from yesterday's burka stunt has already been done.
And anti-gambling advocates want the government to completely ban betting ads. Now, one Labor MP says there's a way to do it: give MPs a conscience vote.
Plus, calls for help to 1800RESPECT have risen by 3,000%. Why?
Also cinemas used to be the community hub in a lot of small towns. Are they still relevant?
