    Just listened to Bonnie Blue and the talk of boys being men once they turn 18. This opinion seems to be changing depending on the context and I don’t understand why. If they committed a crime at 18 we are told their brains aren’t fully developed until they are 25 so aren’t responsible for their actions.

    I don’t care what she does for a living but if she was a man she’d be called a toolie.

    I was happy to hear from a SA survivor and completely agree with him.

  • Susan Ley conversation

    Personable chat but the misinformation/duplicity not challenged eg. on how opening gas exploration will reduce costs for mums shopping for Xmas presents? Eg. How she waxed lyrical about caring for the next generation but was actually the Minister who took kids too court to reject finding that Government owed a duty of care to the next gen. Disappointing journalism

  • Sacha Barbour Gatt

    Heavily opinionated, she hates anything that’s not left and she gives her unwanted opinion on everything instead of just reading the news. Cannot understand how she is employable in the media.

Wells’ spending sent to watchdog + The teen fighting our socials ban
Q: Do you agree that you can still stay across things without being on TikTok and Instagram?
This is how we know how to find our information. This is what we use. And now you're trying to make us revert to how it used to be. It's a different time.
Wells’ spending sent to watchdog + The teen fighting our socials ban
Q: Is it part of the reason why you're doing that? Because arguably, you've only got a few more months. You can cop a few months without social surely.
It's not just about me. It's about all young Australians, you know. It's about that right to free speech and be able to connect with their community.
