The G20 leaders summit has shown restraint regarding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, coinciding with a critical phase in the ongoing war.

The summit, held in Brazil, concluded with a final declaration that allowed Russia, China, and India to continue polluting beyond 2050, and did not address Israel’s right to defend itself or the situation of over 100 hostages.

Chinese President Xi Jinping and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese participated in the summit, which was the first since the Hamas attacks in Israel on October 7, 2023.

The declaration referenced the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the need for expanded humanitarian assistance but did not identify Iran or the roles of Hezbollah and Hamas in the conflicts.

The meeting signaled protection for civilians and reiterated a commitment to a two-state solution for lasting peace, while condemning terrorism broadly without specifics.

As the summit concluded, Putin, currently under an international arrest warrant, missed the event but intensified his nuclear threats following Ukraine’s use of US-supplied missiles.

Jim Jordan urges Australia’s eSafety Commissioner to testify, sparking debate on foreign censorship and U.S. free speech.

U.S. Congressman Jim Jordan has ignited a political firestorm by demanding Australia’s eSafety Commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, testify before Congress. He alleges that Australia is enforcing a “foreign censorship regime” that threatens American free speech, escalating tensions between global regulators and U.S. lawmakers.

In this episode, we speak with Prof Chris Berg from RMIT University to unpack the implications of Australia’s Online Safety Act on U.S. platforms and how global content moderation rules are increasingly colliding with national free speech protections.

We also explore the growing debate over whether Australia’s efforts to regulate harmful online content extend too far beyond its borders, and what this clash might mean for the future relationship between Canberra and Washington.
