The rise of the freebirth movement

You may have heard of home births, but free birthing, where there are no medical professionals present is a small, but increasing practice in Australia. So, why are some women turning away from traditional hospital births and medical intervention? Today, investigative reporter Charlotte King on the movement putting lives at risk. She says free birthing is chosen by some women due to a deep distrust in the medical system and past experiences of birth trauma. Charlotte King says the lack of regulation and medical oversight in free birthing can lead to dangerous outcomes, as seen in several cases she investigated. She discusses the influence of online communities advocating for free birth and the role of unqualified birth workers in these scenarios. The episode underscores the urgent need for better support and informed choices for women in the birthing process. Featured: Charlotte King, ABC Regional Investigations reporter Key Topics: Free birthing Birth trauma Medical intervention in childbirth Women's rights in childbirth Maternity care services

Why Bunnings wants to scan your face

When Bunnings started to use facial recognition technology to check on who was in its stores, without the consent of customers, it raised alarm bells. It says the face scans were deleted within one second and the tech helped to make stores safer, by identifying thieves or people who’ve been violent. But at what cost? The hardware giant has now been found to have breached Australians’ privacy. Today, tech reporter Ange Lavoipierre on what Bunnings was up to, how the technology works and whether it’s something to be wary of. She says the technology was used in 63 stores across Victoria and New South Wales over a three-year period. The Privacy Commissioner, Carly Kind, ruled that Bunnings' actions interfered with the privacy of potentially hundreds of thousands of customers. Ange Lavoipierre also discusses the broader implications of such surveillance technologies and the potential for misuse of biometric data.

America's Last Election 6: How Trump’s banishment led to his comeback

After January 6, many who had stuck by Donald Trump through his presidency condemned his denial of the election, and his failure to stop the attack on the Capitol. Banished to Mar-a-Lago the former president was banned from major social media platforms, driving his messages and MAGA community underground, into a parallel online world. That response by big tech to the violence of January 6 was designed to stop it happening again. Instead, it found Donald Trump powerful allies, and fostered his comeback, one that would send him all the way back to the White House. This is the final episode of America's Last Election. We'll be back next week with an episode about something completely different. If you liked the series, please share it around.
