The billion-dollar fight over Aussie copyright
Jul 500:18:49Tap to summarizeLast week, something unusual happened in Canberra. A group of Australia’s best musicians, artists and writers came together outside Parliament House. Not to perform but to rally. They were there to deliver a message to the Albanese Government: don't sell us out to Big Tech. On today's podcast, I'm going to explain what they're actually worried about, why the Government is spending billions courting some of the world's biggest tech companies, and what Australian creatives stand to lose if things go wrong.

What does looking after yourself during a cost of living crisis look like?
Jul 400:16:19Tap to summarizeThe cost of living crisis has changed a lot of things for young Aussies. What we eat, where we live, whether we can afford to go out. But one of the other consequences is what this economic crisis is doing to our health. Not just our physical health, but our mental health, our relationship with our bodies, and our ability to access the medical care we actually need. So this week, we went directly to our listeners and asked you about your own experiences. Have you ever delayed accessing healthcare because of rising costs? What about exercising or getting in with a psychologist? It turns out there is a trend emerging, which we’re going to unpack in today’s deep dive. This podcast is produced with insights from Revo Fitness. However, everything we’re about to talk about was researched and written by us, and the content remains entirely independent.

Why politicians can lie in ads
Jun 2900:18:05Tap to summarizeIn Australia, it is completely legal to lie in a political ad. Politicians can run false claims, spread misinformation, and publish AI-generated content, all without facing consequences. That could soon change though, after one MP introduced a bill last week to try and legislate truth in political advertising. In today’s podcast we're going to break down the rules around political ads, and what proposed changes could be on the horizon.
