The segment on the Prince Harry and Meghan was disappointing. The hosts were discussing the Australian visit but also giving their opinion on the couple as well. I think it is important journalists remain neutral while discussing the content they cover, I should not know your opinion as you are covering this for The Australian, not your own independent show.
Right wing lies & propaganda, with misogyny and racism heavily featured.
Though far from perfect, they are fairly accurate. They receive a lot of negativity due to the alarming amount of radical left wing terrorists here in Australia.

Jews and Muslims lived and worked together in Palestine through history.
