Angelo Baronessa from Divergent Wealth, JOY Breakfasts finance guru joined Rach and Dean as they dive into the topic of Life Insurance and people living with HIV.

Insurance companies are definitely getting more progressive with how they treat people living with serious illnesses such as HIV, with a focus more on treatment plan effectiveness and the ways symptoms are being managed, insurers are often able to issue cover without restrictions as they would to consumers not living with these illnesses. 

But what exactly does that mean?

It doesn’t matter what types of games you play, or what creators you watch – DreamHack is a celebration of the modern gaming lifestyle, with something for everyone, and it’s coming to Melbourne this weekend.

This year there’s more than one big milestone in Australia’s queer culture, that’s right it’s not just the 30th birthday of JOY, but also the 30th Anniversary of theiconic film Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

On the weekend director Stephen Elliott confirmed that a sequel of the film is in the works, that the script is finished and that stars Terence Stamp, Guy Pearce and Hugo Weaving “onboard” to come back.

This is pretty huge news so Dean got the biggest Priscilla superfan he knows to share their thoughts, the one and only Philmah Bocks.
