    DEEP DIVE: Where did all the apprentices go? We’re about to really need them

    Some tradies are anticipating a 'blue collar gold rush'. Big infrastructure projects to build data centres and underground tunnels mean that tradies, particularly electricians, are about to be in high demand. But, what if there aren't enough tradies to build everything we need? In this week's deep dive, we hear about the tradie shortage expected over the next few years and whether Australia can get its apprentice numbers up.

    INTERVIEW: Socceroos star Awer Mabil on that viral bullsh*t moment and how football saved him

    Awer Mabil is one of Australia's most recognisable footballers, representing Australia at two World Cups. It's a long way from his childhood in a refugee camp, where he was forced to make footballs out of balloons and plastic bags. Now back in Australia after years living overseas, Awer opens up about his past, what he's looking forward to, and how it feels to live his dreams. In this chat with Dave, he also talks about the work he's doing to improve the lives of refugees, and why he called out Pauline Hanson's plans around monoculture as "b******t".  Guests: Awer Mabil, Socceroo and Barefoot to Boots co-founderGet the whole story from hack: Follow us on Instagram and TikTokSubscribe to the hack podcastListen on the triple j app or on your radio live every weeknight at 5:30pm

    Former gang boss Duane "Keffe D" Davis has been found guilty of orchestrating the murder of Tupac Shakur. And should depictions of strangulation in porn be banned?
