Australia correspondent Karen Middleton joins Kathryn to talk about the concern over the resilience of the travel industry after days of chaos in airports at the start of the school holidays.
High winds in Sydney caused much of the problem, and an 80-flights-an-hour cap at Sydney Airport made it hard for airlines to play catch-up.
Australia's new National Anti-Corruption Commission has started work, with a warning to politicians not to "weaponise" its work.
Controversial right-wing MP Pauline Hanson has hired two top barristers to represent her in a defamation case brought by a Greens senator she tweeted should "p*** off back to Pakistan" and the Australian cricket team has asked for extra security as the abuse continues from England fans after that out-of-crease stumping at Lords.
Karen Middleton is chief political correspondent for The Saturday Paper.
