Listen to When media beat ups lead to changes in the law50:2713 March 2025

This week on Spin Cycle, Jess, Rachel and Charlie review the week, breaking down the timeline of the Dural caravan saga - the media hysteria, the political rhetoric, the rushed legislation, all over a terrorist plot that never was. Plus they recount their back and forth with a certain media hungry former Prime Minister. Plus the rise of self-censorship in the media, and some truly vile political advertisements run in Australia's papers.
