99 Talks 99 Media

Parts of eastern Australia are experiencing a “once in a 100 year“ weather event, but didn’t this happen ten years ago? We discuss the devastating floods and the absence of a climate change discussion in the political landscape. We also throw our minds back a couple weeks to discuss the landslide Western Australian election. We explore why one side of politics dominates state politics and the other dominates federally. Finally, some pop culture controversy. 

We are going on a break but will be active on Instagram - @99Talks.Pod. 

Content warning: general topic surrounds sexual assault and family violence. 

ANOTHER BIG WEEK IN AUSPOL. Ans we're still talking about women - the march for justice, and an attack on our superannuation. Sorry, but not sorry - we cover what's happening and this issue will not relent. But, it's exhausting - how do you feel? Slide into our DMs with your thoughts on this week's eppisode @99talks.pod on insta.

Kings and Queens and everybody in between, welcome to our latest episode and to a royal mess. Did Prince Harry and Meghan expose that an institution which relies on the idea of a ‘perfect bloodline’ is racist? Wow, we can’t believe it! And in looking at the pile of flailing royals in our ‘Mother Country, is it time for Australia to fly the nest? Hit us up with your thoughts @99talks.pod on Instagram!

TRIGGER WARNING: Sexual violence. Skip to 8:01 to avoid. 
In a flow-on episode from "The Woman Problem" a few weeks ago, we discuss the pink taxes that you can't see, breaking down what creates the 14% pay gap in Australia despite legislative "equal pay", and what sacrifices one gender has to make to get there. This includes a glass ceiling on more than just women, and Jayden even has a revelation about a key difference between him and his female peers that he'd never picked up on. Make sure you join the convo over @99talks.pod on Instagram!

Yikes, what a week! So much going on and would you believe we tried recording this twice? This week we cover the beginning of the vaccine rollout, the Aussie Government’s backflip on the Facebook news ban, and Craig Kelly’s shock exit from the Liberal Party.

It's been one hell of a week in the Australian politics and media landscape! A young former Liberal staffer has come out about her experience of assault at her workplace, Parliament House, and the Prime Minister's wife somehow dominated the formal response to her allegations. A few days later, we woke up to zero news in our Facebook feeds - what happened, why, and who is at the centre here? How do we feel about our laws being written by international tech companies and surprise! Ariel and Jayden disagree.
