I mean, let's go to controlling the narrative because the Royal Commission's first public hearings kick off on Monday, looking into the nature and prevalence of anti-Semitism in this country and hearing from Australians who've experienced it firsthand.
It's sure to be very evocative, very emotional.
Do you think that could result in some of that finger pointing you were just talking about towards the government?
I mean, you know, through your role as a host of ABC Melbourne Mornings and the talk back that you get that...
Things are pretty divided right now in the community and one of the true nexus points is Gaza.
I mean, is there a risk this Royal Commission could divide us further?
Still to come, Pauline Hanson's shiny new gift from her billionaire buddy.
Raf, this week in the middle of a cost of living crisis, we saw One Nation gifted a private plane from Australia's richest woman, Gina Reinhart, as well as $2 million in donations from the billionaire's friends.
It was all unveiled in a very slick promo video where Pauline described herself as grassroots.
Grassroots isn't something normally associated with private planes and billionaires.
Does this pass the pub test?
Will it sway any votes one way or the other?
I mean, is the strategy from the Liberals and from Labor to a lesser extent then to try and tie Pauline Hanson via Gina Reinhart close to Donald Trump because Donald Trump's popularity in Australia at the moment is through the floor?
One Nation's appeal in Victoria will be tested this weekend at the Nepean state by-election, the first real-world test for the party post the SA election.
How is that contest looking?

Which way is it going?
And finally, Raph, do you think we can read anything into the result, whether that will be repeated at all in the Farah by-election in Susan Lee's old seat next weekend?
Is this going to be an indicator one way or another of One Nation's national appeal?
Well, Raph, some of us have to worry about windy days more than others.
