Afternoon Headlines: Support for the Opposition is at a 40-year low, feared many dead after a ferry caught fire and sank in Indonesia and investigations underway after a reported crocodile sighting in Noosa

Deep Dive: It’s the conspiracy and alleged cover-up that’s rocking the Trump administration. 

As pressure grows on the US government to reveal all they know about the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, the support of Trump’s MAGA power base is starting to shift, with some experts saying the US President will survive this latest scandal.

In this episode of The Briefing, Natarsha Belling is joined by US political expert Cory Alpert, who claims there is a top-secret Epstein list with powerful people from both sides of politics allegedly implicated.
