The Briefing · Hyrox poo athlete apologises + Unpacking Ed Sheeran vs Macklemore · 17 Sep 2026 podcast

Ed Sheeran's usually considered the nice guy of pop, but this week he's copying an insane amount of backlash following his move to drop Macklemore from a run of upcoming shows in the US. voice-verified

The saga, which is still going, has kicked off a conversation as well about power and influence in voice-verified

and who should use it and voice-verified

That chat is coming up in the second half of this episode, but first it's time for the headlines with Chris Spirou on Friday the 18th of September. voice-verified

Yes, so under the changes to Who Arrives, there'll be a focus on prioritising migrants with trades and teaching qualifications. voice-verified

International students won't be able to bring family members to Australia and backpackers will face much tougher requirements to stay in Australia longer than a year and that'll include forced work in the regions. voice-verified

And as for who leaves, there'll be a crackdown on migration agents who support non-meritorious claims and visa overstayers will be placed in detention centres with extra cash to go towards more compliance officers and 250 extra beds to house them. voice-verified

Yeah, so backpackers going forward will have to enter a ballot system in order to stay here beyond a year, with a cap of $45,000 to be brought in. voice-verified

That's on the second year. voice-verified

It goes even lower for the third year. voice-verified

And the National Farmers Federation is warning that more consultation is needed, that the government doesn't understand just how severe the impacts will be in the regions, and also that these changes will drive up food prices. voice-verified

But Burke says there are other avenues to get workers into the agriculture sector. voice-verified

So Burke said after that point that there were a bunch of rules brought in fairly recently to crack down on the exploitation of Pacific Island workers. voice-verified

And he claimed in his interview with 730 that the farming industry went, well, you do that, we'll just bring in backpackers to do it instead. voice-verified

So he has kind of hit back at the farming industry saying, you do have access to other workers. voice-verified

It just means you're going to have to adhere to these stricter regulations around getting voice-verified

how they're treated, making sure that they're paid right and that they have proper rest and they have places to stay. voice-verified

So it was interesting to hear that. voice-verified

Well, he said that they've gone down the path of regulatory change as opposed to legislation because the coalition wasn't willing to work with them on it. voice-verified

So they've gone, well, we're going to take this approach instead. voice-verified
