Hey, it's Chris Beer with you.
Welcome to The Briefing.
Every time there's a shark attack in Australia, a discussion inevitably erupts about how to keep swimmers safe.
And an attack in Sydney this week has prompted calls for a shark cull.
So is killing sharks the answer?
That chat is coming up in the second half of this episode.
First though, let's get into the headlines with Sasha Bar-Bagat on Friday, the 19th of June.
The Treasurer last month had been preparing for net overseas migration to drop to 295,000 this financial year, eventually down to 225,000 in 2027 and 2028.

Pauline Hanson this week made immigration a centerpiece of her speech to the National Press Club, in which she declared multiculturalism had failed and Australia needs to be monocultural.
It's interesting because I was listening to someone talking about this yesterday and they were like,
you know, the housing crisis and the rental crisis and all these... When it comes to housing specifically and tethering it to migration, you know, she said, migrants are still in those queues.

So if you're someone who has been struggling with the mixed messaging, maybe that's something that'll help you out this morning.
Many analysts are sceptical the two sides can forge a final deal within that time, with Iran overnight announcing plans to introduce maritime fees in the Strait once the 60 days are up.
