Australia correspondent Karen Middleton joins Kathryn to talk about US tariffs on aluminium and steel imports from Australia not being granted an exemption. The damage from Cyclone Alfred - not least the impact it's had on trying to call an election. Police have revealed a caravan packed with explosives and an antisemitic note was part of a hoax allegedly orchestrated by organised crime figures. Australian of the Year and cancer specialist Richard Scolyer has revealed his aggressive cancer has returned. And there's anger at the last minute nixing of "bush doof" Esoterica festival - the day it was due to start - with everyone blaming everyone else.
