Episode description
Australians express support for budget cuts to foreign aid and renewable energy programs, though these areas represent only 1% of total spending. Eleven ISIS families consisting of 34 Australian women and children have been turned back after leaving their Syrian camp, with debate continuing over whether they should be allowed to return. A neighbourhood dispute in Sydney's northwest has reignited discussion about the etiquette of mowing nature strips that belong to neighbours.
