Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Putting Polls In Their Place, Aussies Smash The Census & Who Killed King Charles?
Q: Who is getting polled and could there be government influence or manipulation as a scare tactic?
Polls use random sampling and weighting to represent the population, but there can be leaks or strategic use by parties; transparency about who paid, sample size, and methodology helps readers evaluate bias.
Our Ecological Grief, The Gayest Party In Australia & Melongate Won't Go Away
Q: You spoke to hundreds of people about climate-related emotions. What experiences were Australians going through?
Many Australians reported sadness and nostalgia, with shared concerns about the Great Barrier Reef and other environmental losses, highlighting the need for recognition and healthier processing of these emotions.
Our Ecological Grief, The Gayest Party In Australia & Melongate Won't Go Away
Q: First of all, can you please walk us through exactly what ecological grief is by your definition?
Ecological grief is how humans respond to the loss of a place, species, ecosystem, or non-human beings, encompassing emotions from deep sadness to anger, nostalgia, and even moments of joy tied to our connection with the natural world.
Smart Glasses Alarm, Body In Suitcase No Body & Who Is Count Binface?
Q: Would you know if you've ever been filmed by someone wearing smart glasses?
Milica explains that in public spaces it can be very difficult to detect filming, and legal protections around audio vs. video vary; she emphasizes the need for clearer guidelines and individual awareness.
Census Conspiracies, An Airport Near Miss & Whitney Immortalised In Barbie Form
Q: Can we drill down into what the census actually does and why it matters for everyday life?
The census provides a complete snapshot of the population, informing electoral boundaries, taxation, and a wide range of services from roads to healthcare; it also helps forecast future needs based on population changes and diversity.
