The journo who took on a surgeon (and won) + Nats face leadership spill

What happens when a trusted surgeon doesn’t listen to his patients?  In this episode of The Briefing, Natarsha Belling is joined by investigative journalist and author of Duty to Warn, Charlotte Grieve. Charlotte takes us inside her explosive investigation into one of Australia’s most controversial medical cases, and the powerful doctor at the centre of it. What began with an unsettling appointment involving her own father, spiralled into years of reporting, court battles, and a landmark defamation trial.  Dr Munjed Al Muderis denies any wrongdoing and has launched an appeal against the defamation finding.   Headlines: Nationals Leader David Littleproud will face a leadership spill next week. The chance of another interest rate cut has taken a major hit, and scientists have moved the doomsday clock to the closest it has been to midnight since its creation.  Follow The Briefing:  TikTok: @thebriefingpod (https://www.tiktok.com/@thebriefingpod) Instagram: @thebriefingpodcast  (https://www.instagram.com/thebriefingpodcast/) YouTube: @TheBriefingPodcast (https://www.youtube.com/@TheBriefingPodcast) See omnystudio.com/listener (https://omnystudio.com/listener) for privacy information.
