The stories that matter to The Coalition have dropped their new migration policy with promises to slash visa numbers across the board. So what do the experts think? And how does it compare to the Labor and One Nation plans announced earlier this year? Plus, Christa Pike is talking in hospital after surviving a failed execution last week. Pike, 50, has been on death row for 30 years after murdering her classmate in 1995. So, what went wrong with the execution and what happens now?
