Tuesday Headlines: PM calls for calm after death threats, alleged Sydney shooter named and charged with over 20 offences, social media platforms ordered to take down Charlie Kirk murder videos, wage theft has more than doubled in the last five years, and the White House has responded to SNL's skit mocking President Trump’s 'war on late-night TV'. 

Deep Dive: She’s an Emmy Award-winning talk show host, actor, and comedian who’s never shied away from a political fight. 

Now living in Ireland, Rosie O’Donnell is in Australia for the first time - bringing her new stand-up show Common Knowledge down under. 

In this episode of The Briefing, Rosie opens up to Helen Smith about life after Hollywood, her long-running feud with Donald Trump, and why she’ll always speak truth to power - no matter who’s in office.
