This week, we break down New South Wales police's push for powers to empty your entire phone, texts, photos, location data, the lot, during any random stop without a warrant, using Israeli spyware from Cellebrite that police have already used over 30,000 times since 2022 despite telling a parliamentary inquiry they've never used it for surveillance. We score this week's Political Manoeuvres: Angus Taylor dodging fiery questions about his name surfacing in the NSW ICAC's Liberal Party donations inquiry with pure grammatical judo (9/10), and Chris Minns swooping in to rescue a floundering Anthony Albanese from a press pack obsessed with a gift of melons instead of actual policy (9/10 for the save). We also get into the AI-generated real estate photos catfishing home buyers with bedrooms that physically couldn't fit the bed pictured in them, and the good and bad news on bulk billing: up to 84 in 100 GP visits are now free nationally, except investment funds are quietly buying up the clinics.
