New privacy rules for YouTube and Roblox; Moon mission countdown; fake climate news; and a cute set of capybara triplets.

Four astronauts might be heading to the Moon to orbit it for a week. It’s all practice for future Moon landings—and maybe even a Moon base!

PM for a Day... Our PM meets The PM Apr 01, 2026

Show notes

What happens when a 12-year-old from regional Queensland steps into the shoes of Australia’s Prime Minister… and then sits down with the real one?
In this special episode, we head to Parliament House to follow Jett Jarvis, our PM for a Day winner, as he lives a day most adults will never experience.
After almost 500 incredible entries from kids right across Australia, Jett’s idea stood out: tackling food waste by helping Australians understand that wonky fruit and veg still taste just as good.
You’ll hear Jett sit down with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to ask what it’s really like to lead the country every day, whether the job ever gets tiring, and why it matters for Australians to understand that imperfect fruit and veg are just as good as the perfect-looking ones.
It’s a conversation about big responsibilities, small actions that ripple outward, and why young voices matter more than ever.
A huge thank you to everyone who entered PM for a Day. Your ideas, creativity, and enthusiasm prove one thing loud and clear: The future is in very good hands!

Our PM meets the real PM; a traditional Mexican bird parade; electric planes take flight; and lucky socks avoid the wash.

12-year-old Jett swapped the paddock for Parliament and met the Prime Minister! He shared a clever idea about saving “wonky” veggies from the bin—and even got a shoutout in Parliament.

Imagine walking through streets full of singing birds stacked in sky-high cages! 🐦🎶 In Mexico City, this colourful tradition is still alive—but it’s slowly fading as people work to protect the birds.

Planes that sound like whispers? Yes please! ⚡✈️ New electric planes are zipping mail across Scotland without noisy engines or fossil fuels.

Would you wear smelly socks for luck? Lots of people do! Some even refuse to wash their “lucky” clothes before big moments.
