Episode description

New Australian research has uncovered a dangerous new trend on TikTok, with a growing number of unqualified influencers spreading misinformation about female contraception. Despite having no medical qualifications, these social media stars are giving harmful advice to women about sex, leading to an increase in unwanted pregnancies and STIs. 

In this episode of The Briefing, Natarsha Belling speaks with public health expert Megan Bugden on what they uncovered in their research and the dangerous, life-changing consequences. 

Headlines: Anthony Albanese claims a statement from Hamas is incorrect and propaganda from the terror group, US President Donald Trump has warned Russia ahead of his meeting this weekend, and the sole survivor of a helicopter crash in the Northern Territory has given evidence.
