Monday Headlines:
New poll has Pauline Hanson as preferred PM Trump tells all sides to ‘stand down’ amid peace talks Nine-year-old Australian girl killed in Pakistan Renewed calls for a Sydney shark cull after Coogee attack Socceroos stun in World Cup opener against TurkiyeDeep Dive: A proposed $900 million waste-to-energy plant in Fiji sparked fierce criticism before it was ultimately rejected, with opponents warning the nation risked becoming the "Pacific's ashtray" and accusing Australia of engaging in "waste colonialism".
The project has reignited debate around waste-to-energy technology, which supporters say can reduce landfill and generate electricity, but critics argue risks creating a dependence on burning waste rather than reducing it.
In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou speaks with environmental researcher Professor Ray Wills about the Fiji proposal, the future of waste-to-energy in Australia, and whether burning rubbish is a necessary part of solving the country's growing waste problem.

Terence Tao was a child prodigy, and became a mathematics professor in the United States at age 24. In his early 30s he won the Fields Medal, known as 'the Nobel Prize of Mathematics'. Tao is considered one of the greatest living mathematicians, in part because of the breadth of his contributions to the field – from finding new patterns in prime numbers to solving several of the "unsolvable" Erdős problems.
On Monday, the King's Birthday, Tao was awarded Australia's highest civilian honour, the Companion of the Order of Australia.
In this bonus episode of The Briefing, Terence Tao, AC, speaks with Natarsha Belling about the pleasures of solving problems, and how maths makes the world a less scary place.
If you want more Terence Tao, one of the YouTube channels he mentions is 3Blue1Brown, and Tao is featured on an episode.

James Valentine passed away in April, voluntarily. The beloved ABC radio presenter and musician had been diagnosed with terminal cancer, and chose voluntary assisted dying so he could have a say over how he lived his last moments.
Valentine cared about moments. In a moving eulogy at Valentine’s public memorial, his son, Roy Valentine, said that his dad always asked the question: “How do you want to live?” James Valentine lived with joy, curiosity, and openness, and wanted everyone else to be able to do the same.
Today, James Valentine is being officially honoured as a Member of the Order of Australia. In this episode of The Briefing, Natarsha Belling is joined by Roy Valentine to talk about his father’s legacy.

Antoinette Lattouf is no stranger to The Briefing. Long before she became the centre of one of Australia’s most closely watched media controversies, she was sitting in the host’s chair herself.
Since then, the journalist, author and co-founder of ETTE Media has endured a very public battle with the ABC after being taken off air over a social media post about Gaza - a dismissal later found by the Fair Work Commission to be unlawful.
In this chat with Sacha Barbour Gatt, Antoinette reflects on the fallout from that experience, the lessons behind her new book Women Who Win, and why women who challenge the status quo are so often punished for it.
