About the episode

Monday Headlines: More bill relief announced as budget looms, Gaza death toll passes 50,000, Pope Francis makes first public appearance since hospitalisation, redemption for Oscar Piastri in Chinese Grand Prix and a new study shows humans are getting dumber.

Would they support tougher restrictions? And could they stop if they had to?  Follow The Briefing:  TikTok: @listnrnewsroom  Instagram: @listnrnewsroom @thebriefingpodcast  YouTube: @LiSTNRnewsroom  Facebook: @LiSTNR Newsroom
