  • A positive start.

    To be fair it’s the strongest legislation passed to date. 👏 👏 TV advertising will be limited to 3 an hour from 5am-8.30pm, online ads only to be shown to over 18’s with a mandatory opt out option, sporting stadiums ads will eventually be banned and advertising on players’ jerseys will see new restrictions on inducements, celebrity endorsements and employee commissions from gambling losses.

  • So biased and woke

    I can’t listen anymore. I have tried for over a year but the one-sided, hyperbolic rubbish these two keep dribbling out is too much. No open interrogation of the core issues or policy to inform voters, just take downs and gotcha moments of any politician or pole results they don’t align with. Trashing ordinary people who hold opposing views, convinced they are just puppets of social media scions, when they are capable of independent thought. You two just push people further to the right.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tupac’s murder: solved at last?
Q: What stood out about the evidence or lack thereof in the courtroom?
Hill notes that prosecutors leaned on the defendants' own words from memoirs and interviews rather than traditional physical evidence, while the defense argued those statements were not fully reliable.
Tupac’s murder: solved at last?
Q: Set the scene for us. What was it like being in Nevada for the Tupac murder trial?
Jessica Hill describes the trial as a major, tightly watched event with fans and families present, signaling a potential resolution after decades of speculation.
What’s behind the dangerous rise of sexual choking?
Q: Can you talk me through that difference, the delineation between choking and strangulation?
Researchers suggest using choking when addressing those engaging in the act because it aligns with the language that the audience uses, while strangulation communicates the severity and criminal/health implications more clearly, though starting with choking helps reach younger audiences before they disengage from the health message.
How much control should we have over the algorithm?
Q: Is the point of the new rules to curb harm without silencing speech, or could it become censorship?
The discussion acknowledges that algorithms influence what people see and can function as a form of censorship; opinions differ on how to balance safety with free expression, and the government's approach is still being debated.
How much control should we have over the algorithm?
Q: Can you give us an idea of what's in the Digital Duty of Care legislation?
The provisions are framed as a broader package to address online harms, with emphasis on giving users more control over feeds and an opt-out mechanism, plus penalties and powers for regulators to oversee platform compliance.
