    31/01/2023

    Is it time to legalise cannabis?

    Legalising marijuana could earn the Australian economy up to $28 billion. But is Australia ready for it? And does the country even want it? The Greens Party are making their case, and James Law and Lucy McLeod discuss whether we could see the country go the same way as New York, California, Canada, Amsterdam, and others. Elsewhere, Western Sydney University's Dr Caroline Mills joins us to discuss how virtual reality can help improve anxiety and depression in adults. She discusses a five month study which has shown significant effects. And finally, a year on from one of the biggest sagas to hit world tennis, Novak Djokovic departs Australia with his 22nd major tournament after defeating Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets. Is he the GOAT? Is it time to stop using the word GOAT?  A reminder if you like it, hit the subscribe button to get notified whenever a new episode goes live 👆 New to Flash?

    People in Victoria still love Daniel Andrews

    Well, the commentators got it wrong. And they're still getting it wrong. Media all over Australia predicted it would be close, and potentially even a Labor loss.  Well, Daniel Andrews and Labor won. Convincingly. But why? It's not just the Coalition's unpopularity, it's the simple fact that people in Victoria still love the man. James Law and Lucy McLeod go over the election that guaranteed Andrews will become Victoria's longest-serving Labor premier, and just why the state keeps voting him in. Elsewhere, Scott Morrison's in trouble. The former Prime Minister will be censured by Parliament for his secret ministries scandal. What was behind his thinking? And what happens once he motion passes? And finally, it's schoolies time! James and Lucy discuss the fine Australian tradition and why this year is being dubbed the 'tamest ever'.
