Also, young people living with disability in Australia have never had a national forum to discuss their issues. Until today. We speak to Melanie Tran, the convener of the Australian-first summit and look at how people with disabilities are excluded from public spaces like natural parks and beaches. And, researchers have shed light on why some people are left-handed, and some are right-handed. Is it nature, or nurture?

Universities are reportedly cutting corners to stay afloat, and some people have raised alarm bells on the quality of education for new students wanting to enrol next year. Also, one of Australia's biggest proposed gas projects, in Narrabri in NSW, has today been given the green light. We look at why some community members are happy with the decision, and others are disappointed. And, the US held its first Presidential debate ahead of November's election.

As Instagram turns 10 we take a look at how the app went from shitty filters to influencers and Facebook. It's become a go-to to find a new holiday spot or restaurant and, increasingly, a plastic surgeon. As you can imagine, there's some issues with that last one. Also, US President Donald Trump is still in hospital after his COVID-19 diagnosis. We find out how that could change the election.

If you've found yourself gravitating more and more towards cute animal content during the pandemic, you're not alone.

And, a trans-Tasman travel bubble with New Zealand is one step closer, as Victoria eases some of its COVID restrictions. We speak to the Federal Tourism Minister, Simon Birmingham.
