    Is it okay for pollies to get free flight upgrades?

    Anthony Albanese has been forced to defend himself over his history of Qantas upgrades. And Queensland's new premier David Crisafulli has promised to crack down on youth crime by introducing his "adult crime, adult time" laws before Christmas.  But, in Western Australia, locals in one small town reckon they've worked out a different fix for youth crime, and it involves apprenticeships in mechanics, landscaping and horse-training.  Also, we find out how Lost Paradise pulled itself out of the festival graveyard after its ticket seller, Lyte, went bust.

    The Shakeup: work tracking you, getting stuck and barefoot vibes

    Supermarket chain Woolworths is copping it this week for tracking and timing its workers. Woolies says it's fair and keeps its teams productive, but some staff are calling it bullying. Plus, the 3G phone network is getting shut down on Monday, giving us time to mourn our first internet experiences. A girlie in NSW is also mourning tech, after her phone fell into a crack between rocks. She climbed in to get it... and got stuck for 7 hours. Also, Jacob Elordi was filmed walking in a Byron Bay cafe with no shoes. Fine, or has going barefoot gone too far? And what's an appropriate birthday message in 2024? Host Dave Marchese is joined by artist and performer Etcetera Etcetera and PEDESTRIAN TV's Issy Phillips.

    Menopause, but in your 20s

Plus, a freak storm, a failed generator and high school exams — we unpack the power outage saga in the far west of New South Wales.  Also, did Senator Lidia Thorpe say "hairs" or "heirs", and why does it matter?  Guests: Adelaide Elliot, Grazier Dr Simon Wright, energy expert, Charles Sturt University Associate Professor Amanda Vincent, early menopause expert, Monash University

    Did shouting at the king work?

    Independent senator Lidia Thorpe wanted her message to be heard, and it worked: her cry of "you are not my king" and "this is not your land" during King Charles’s visit is making headlines around the world.  In Australia, it's kicked off a debate around appropriateness and respectability. So how should someone deliver a plea about colonisation to the head of the Commonwealth? And Gladstone is famous for coal, gas and aluminium refining, but is that about to change? The community is exploring its renewable options too.  Plus, students from Australian Catholic University staged a mass walk out after a former union official gave a speech railing against abortion and same-sex marriage at their graduation ceremony.  Guests: Amanda Morgan, Yorta Yorta woman, lawyer and activist Emma Garlett, First Nations woman, director of the Garlett Group  Dr Elise Klein, associate professor of public policy, ANU Charlie Panteli, graduate, ACU
