Weekly Wrap: Porepunkah’s manhunt, a happenstance encounter, and the Swift-Kelce engagement
As we’re recording, the manhunt continues for sovereign citizen Dezi Freeman, who is suspected of killing 2 police officers and injuring a third. We’ll get you up to speed with the details of the incident, the search, and what exactly a sovereign citizen is. We’ll also get you across why the Iranian Ambassador was expelled this week, our Deputy PM Richard Marles’ meetings in Washington (or was it “a happenstance encounter”...) - and some of the many angles to view Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement. In what’s coming up, it’s the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina hitting New Orleans, and the federal parliament returns next week.
