This week on Covered: What will Australia actually look like in 40 years? We unpack the predictions for 2066, from a baby bust and rapidly ageing population to migration, AI, housing and whether we’ll really be better off. Then, Princess Diana’s brother Earl Spencer spills some serious royal tea, claiming King Charles was “giddy” after Diana died in a new bombshell book. Plus, Grand Final weekend is already delivering chaos. Lachie Neale is IN as the Brisbane Lions chase a historic three-peat, Kylie Minogue takes over the MCG, and over at the NRL, Tones and I is out. There’s no headline act and Peter V’landys suddenly says maybe they don’t need one anyway.

This week on Covered: Labor finally reveals its migration overhaul, slashing student visa loopholes, cracking down on overstayers, and taking aim at Working Holiday visas. But does it go far enough, and how does it stack up against the Coalition, One Nation and the Greens? Then, a doomsday week for AI: a 27-year-old ex-OpenAI and Anthropic staffer quits and warns AI could kill us all within a decade. Plus, Sydney Sweeney's near-nude ad for a sports betting app has gone viral, sparking a tense debate over whether it's smart marketing or demeaning to women in sport.

Season 1 · Episode 21

Saturday, September 12, 2026 • Duration 33:11

This week on Covered: One Nation boots journalists from the ABC and The Guardian out of a Melbourne press conference, and we ask whether it's a deliberate stunt or something more troubling given the party's growing push in Victoria. The government unveils My Feed, My Way, new laws letting you opt out of the algorithm entirely, part of a broader crackdown giving platforms real legal duties to protect kids online. And the NFL brings its first ever regular season game to Australian soil, with two Californian teams flying 12,900km on chartered Qantas A380s, wildly different jet lag strategies, and a catering operation nine months in the making.

This week on Covered, Geelong's secret concussion waiver scandal has blown up into a leadership crisis, with AFL chair Craig Drummond now facing calls to resign over the deal he signed off on as club president. Then to the Lindsay Clancy murder trial in Massachusetts, where harrowing testimony about her three children's deaths is forcing a national reckoning on postpartum psychosis and how the justice system treats it.

Then to Ceuta, where 60,000 people crossed the Moroccan border into Spain in days, a story branded a migration crisis that might actually be Morocco settling a score with Spain over its ties to Algeria. And a Senate inquiry into Labor's gambling advertising bill takes a dark turn when former NRL player Luke Bateman reveals what happened at a VIP betting event where the company's own CEO and founders were doing drugs alongside their top customers.

This week on Covered, Jacinta Allan is out as Victorian Premier after her own colleagues turned on her, we get into the Big Build corruption at the centre of it, the Dan Andrews hangover she never escaped, and what a chaotic three-way election in November now looks like. Then Australia's new AusAlert emergency warning system underwent its first nationwide test, and we break down how it actually works, the domestic violence risk hidden in a system that can't be silenced, and why some states still don't trust it. Plus King Kyle is back, dumped from ARN months ago, launching his own subscription show and dropping bombshells in a tell-all interview along the way.
