A speeding stolen car, an injured pedestrian and terrified onlookers puts Bourke Street in the headlines again, in a chilling reminder of the deadly 2017 rampage. But when crime is retraumatising a city, why is the media response endless "lock em up and throw away the key" stories?

Plus the end of an era with the Channel Seven media baron Kerry Stokes to retire after a $400m Seven West merger deal with Australia's biggest radio owner Southern Cross Media.  

Another ominous legal settlement for Donald Trump who'll get $24m from YouTube which suspended his account in the wake of the Jan 6 riot - an extortion shakedown in plain sight says Dr Denis Muller.
