Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Inflation Won’t Go Away: Interest Rates, Government Spending and Australia’s Economy | Adam Creighton
Q: Can we talk about what's driving inflation in Australia and is it a problem?
The guest argues that services inflation, driven by electricity costs, health care, education, and immigration-related pressures, is the core problem, with government policy and net-zero initiatives amplifying those service costs, while goods inflation remains more benign. He emphasizes that inflation is broad-based and harms everyone, unlike unemployment which affects a smaller group.
What Is a Woman? The Giggle v Tickle Case | Sall Grover (Part 1)
Q: How did the legal challenge begin, and what was the core argument against the complaint?
The challenge began when Roxanne Tickle filed a complaint under the Sex Discrimination Act for gender identity discrimination after being denied access; Grover argues that female-only protections historically depended on sex-based distinctions and that redefining sex to include gender identity undermines those protections.
What Is a Woman? The Giggle v Tickle Case | Sall Grover (Part 1)
Q: What prompted you to start Giggle, and what were the early days like?
Grover explains a personal drive from wanting a safe, women-centered space after experiences in Hollywood and her move back to Australia, which led to a beta phase and a family-and-friends funded round before launch, with broader ambitions beyond roommate matching.
