Macklemore has been dropped from Ed Sheeran's US tour after making pro-Palestinian statements on stage. We get into who controls the stadiums. And, One Nation has unveiled its immigration plan, which includes significant cuts to international student numbers. Critics have said this plan could cripple the economy and shut down university campuses. Plus, Coles is ditching local bananas in the home of the Big Banana, Coffs Harbour.
