    I’ve never really heard her speak at length and this was refreshing to see the brain behind the brand. I disagree with her on some points about beauty and her version of feminism but that’s ok .. I only wish she acknowledged her white privileged status . No self reflection at all . No hate just an observation.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Thousands attend Charlie Kirk memorial + How to stop teen machete murders
Q: What are some of the further supports that you think are worthwhile investing in as a government?
We need to target mental health support and connect young people to pro-social activities to reduce their likelihood of committing crimes.
Thousands attend Charlie Kirk memorial + How to stop teen machete murders
Q: Do you think this is the right move by the Victorian government?
While the machete ban is a step in the right direction, I remain skeptical about who is actually handing in these machetes and if it will effectively deter crime.
Thousands attend Charlie Kirk memorial + How to stop teen machete murders
Q: Can you unpack that for us?
In Victoria, there's been a significant increase in youth crime over the last 30 years, with a particularly alarming rise in offenses committed by young people in the last year.
Trump’s autism misinformation + Police officer charged with assault
Q: When you saw these statements from the US president today regarding what he is claiming is a link between paracetamol use in pregnant women and autism in children, what was your reaction to that?
I wasn't surprised, but I was nonetheless really concerned. This is a big claim, it has the potential to do a lot of harm, particularly given that it's not based in the science.
BONUS: Meet Royel Otis, the Aussie duo going to Coachella
Q: Are people guiding you on how to handle the pressure of these moments?
Not really. I mean, people have tips for touring, but I also think, you know, everyone's experience is different, so let's just see how we do it.
