Novak Djokovic has made global headlines for opting out of a customary on-court interview following comments made by broadcaster Tony Jones, who chanted “Novak, he’s overrated... Novak’s a has-been. Novak, kick him out.”
Djokovic said Jones’ comments “made a mockery of Serbian fans” and that they were “insulting and offensive” with members of the Serbian community calling them racist.
In this episode of The Briefing Helen Smith is joined by Dr Nina Marković, board member of the Serbian council of Australia and political academic, to explain why the community has put in a complaint with the Australian Human Rights commission.

It might not be obvious from all the brands and styles of beer on offer, but something like 80% of the beer we drink in Australia is owned by two Japanese megacompanies Lion and Asahi - both of which have spent millions of dollars buying up craft breweries in Australia.
And if you're a pub owner in need of renovations, or a new tap system, or you’re opening up a new venue, there's a good chance you'll be hearing from one of these companies, calling to make an offer that’s hard to refuse.
Mazen Hajjar is CEO of Hawkers Beer, one of the largest independent producers in Victoria. He argues there’s a market duopoly at play, and it’s strangling what might otherwise be a thriving craft beer industry in Australia. He joins Bension Siebert on this episode of The Briefing to explain why.

Gen Z has been dubbed the most 'unserious generation' - but is it true?
Viral social media posts of young creators dancing in front of LA's fires and storm damage in Sydney have prompted the theory that the generation can't seem to take anything - CEO's being shot, natural disasters, a cost of living crisis - seriously. But what's behind the behaviour, and is it a fair generalisation?
In this episode of The Briefing Sacha Barbour Gatt, is joined by Gen Z representatives Chris Spyrou and Helen Smith to discuss if and why Gen Z is so unserious.

Helen Smith's deep dive on TikTok is available now on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
Deep Dive: When you think of hot days, you might think of iced drinks, flicking on the AC or rushing to your nearest beach. But, what about more crime?
Science says the two are connected, with one Australian study suggesting by the end of the century – we'll experience over 1.5 million more crimes all thanks to a global rise in temperatures. Is there any truth to it and if so, what is it about the heat that encourages criminality?
In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou is joined by Associate Professor Lindsie Arthur from the University of Melbourne’s School of Psychological Science to unpack it all.

Deep Dive: Casinos are usually synonymous with high rollers and high stakes. But running a business of the size and scale of a casino comes with big risks and big expenses – despite having a possibly never-ending stream of clientele addicted to participating in what you’re selling.
With that in mind – how did we end up in a situation where our largest publicly traded casino operator is in serious financial trouble?
The Star Entertainment Group – who operate casinos in Sydney, Brisbane and the Gold Coast – could be broke within weeks.
Charles Livingstone is a gambling expert and associate professor at Monash University – he joins Chris Spyrou on this episode of The Briefing to explain how that’s possible and what we need to know about what might happen over the coming months.Follow The Briefing:

The end is nigh for TikTok, which is set to be banned in the US on the 19th of January.

But will it actually happen, or will Trump, Musk or Zuckerberg step in and stop it in the final hours? And if it goes ahead, what will using TikTok look like for the rest of us going forward?
In this episode of The Briefing Helen Smith is joined by Cam Wilson, writer of Australian daily tech newsletter The Sizzle, and Associate Editor of Crikey, to unpack how this ban would work and if it will change anything for Australian users.

Deep Dive: Are we ready to ‘build Australia’s future’, or are we looking to get the country ‘back on track’?
That's the big question – and pitch – both Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and leader of the Coalition Peter Dutton have launched this week as we enter the first stage of campaigning for our upcoming federal election.
Both campaign slogans are short but come with layered meaning – about the state of the country, and what each major party thinks the average Australian is looking for when they go to cast their vote. But which one has more cut through – and is anyone even listening anymore?
On this episode of The Briefing, Bension Siebert is joined by former Prime Minister of Australia Malcolm Turnbull to get his verdict on which campaign slogan sounds like a winner, and what they say about how the major parties sees us, and if we’re headed towards a minority government.

Deep Dive: How do you know if you’re really buying an organic product?
Insiders have accused producers of falsely labelling products, prompting a new bill that was introduced by the Coalition last year - a big deal for an industry worth $2.3 billion in Australia.
How can we really know the journey a product is taking before it arrives on the shelf at the supermarket? If the labelling isn’t accurate, should we just give up on buying organic all together? In this episode of The Briefing, Helen Smith is joined by Erin Turner, chief executive of the Consumer Policy Research Centre, to explain how the government can better regulate the sector and how it could change what’s on our shelves.
In a statement, Peak industry body, Australian Organic Limited told The Briefing:
"Australian Organic Limited welcomes the new bill as a way to ensure the word ‘organic’ can only be displayed on products sold by the thousands of certified organic operators who adhere to a strict set of principles and pass regular auditing checks to display a certification mark on their labels."

We love a debate down under, and every summer for the last few years, Aussies have been going head-to-head over one topic: CoolCabanas.
The humble beach tent has been spotted on sands across the country since 2015, but it’s now sparked a furious debate about Australian beach etiquette.
So, while it’s all just a bit of fun, it begs the question: why did something that’s designed to protect us from the sun become so controversial?
On today’s episode of The Briefing, Sacha Barbour Gatt speaks with the CEO of CoolCabanas Mark Fraser and TikTokker Guncle Diaries to get their take on the debate and get their verdict on whether Aussie beaches should be cabana free.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in an announcement posted to social media that fact checkers had become “too politically biased”, and have "destroyed more trust than they've created, especially in the US". Meta will also change its algorithms to recommend more political content on its platforms.
