About the episode

Monday Headlines: Scomo among hundreds on King’s Honours list, National Guard arrives in LA against anti-ICE protests, candlelight vigils held for Pheobe Bishop, a record number of young Aussies are working more than one part-time job and three quarters of Aussies don’t know their neighbours. Deep Dive:  The Big Freeze is an annual event that’s become a highlight of the AFL’s King’s Birthday clash for more than a decade.     It features Aussie celebrities and sport stars in blue beanies plunging into ice baths as part of the pre-match entertainment. But behind the spectacle is a powerful campaign raising awareness and funds for motor neurone disease or MND.  In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou speaks with Matt Tilley, CEO of FightMND, about the origins of the Big Freeze and how it became one of Australia’s most visible health campaigns.  Follow The Briefing:  TikTok: @listnrnewsroom  Instagram: @listnrnewsroom @thebriefingpodcast  YouTube: @LiSTNRnewsroom  Facebook: @LiSTNR Newsroom
