Show notes

A leaked nude photo from a MAFS contestant’s Only Fans account has gotten everyone talking about image-based abuse and slut-shaming. Was it even legal for the contestants to circulate the photo?

Making daylight savings permanent Mar 16, 2022

Show notes

The US Senate has voted to make daylight savings permanent, and that's got a lot of people wondering whether Australia should consider doing the same Advocates reckon it's better for our health, safety and efficiency - but not everyone agrees. Plus, around 80 per cent of Australians under 30 don't have contents insurance for their belongings. That's put young renters who lost everything in the recent floods in a really difficult position. As climate disasters become more frequent, what can be done to make sure young people aren't left worse off? And a government inquiry into online safety has handed down its report - we'll go through the recommendations.

Nature is healing: Aussie tourists are back in Bali Mar 14, 2022

Show notes

For the first time in two years, direct flights from Australia to Bali are back, and there's no quarantine requirements for fully-vaxxed tourists. But how can the tourism industry make international flying more sustainable? There's calls to make aviation fuel more efficient to keep gas emissions down. And, Youth Allowance and JobSeeker payments are going up this month - but with the rising cost of petrol hitting everyone hard, will it make much of a difference? We also speak to Dr Rachel Farrelly, who is making history by becoming the first Indigenous female surgeon in Australia. Plus, the murder trial of Kumanjayi Walker resulted in a not guilty verdict for constable Zachary Rolfe. Now, Walpiri elders are calling for a change to policing in Indigenous communities — including getting rid of guns.

What should you do if you have a panic attack? Mar 10, 2022

Show notes

Shortness of breath. Tight chest. Heart palpitations. Feelings of doom. They're all common symptoms of a panic attack — something around 1 in 5 people will have experienced before. They can be super overwhelming in the moment (especially if you’re on live TV, like ABC weather presenter Nate Byrne was). So, what should you do if you have one? Plus, an unofficial Instagram grief club is helping young people feel less isolated after the death of a loved one. And the murder trial over the fatal shooting of a young Indigenous man in the NT has wrapped up. Guests: Melissa Mackay, ABC News Nate Byrne, ABC News Dr Zac Seidler, clinical psychologist

The party - backed by billionaire Clive Palmer, led by MP Craig Kelly - claims to have amassed tens of thousands of members in the last year. But who exactly are they? And how is the party accessing personal information? Plus, there's some health and safety warnings going around: about a mozzie-borne virus called Japanese encephalitis, and an increased risk of shark attacks after the floods. And new research is shaking up how we think about taking pics of animals. Live guests: Claudia Long, ABC News Craig Williams, University of South Australia Daryl McPhee, Bond University Emily McLeod, Zoos Victoria If you have more information about the United Australia Party story, or have seen election material that concerns you, head here.

The flood crisis is becoming a homelessness crisis Mar 08, 2022

Homelessness was already a problem in northern NSW — and that was before a 'tsunami' of flood waters swept through the town last week. Thousands of houses could now be uninhabitable. We're on the ground in Lismore, talking to young people about their experiences with the floods. Many are now asking: where are they going to live? And it's International Women's Day.

Guests: Jake Lapham, ABC News Andrew Gissing, Risk Frontiers Eliza Reilly, writer and performer Yasmin Poole, youth advocate
