Australia correspondent Bernard Keane looks at how conservative politicians are pushing for similar moves to those in the US over TikTok. Last week the US House of Representatives voted to pass a bill to force Chinese-owned Bytedance to sell the app or face a ban. He'll also talk about ructions within the Liberal Party over the removal from the South Australian Senate ticket of a key female candidate and there's a push to get mega donations to political parties banned.
