Consent: how, why and when
We’re all talking about consent! And with good cause! It lies at the heart of the reason 100k plus women hit the streets last Monday. That march for justice was responding to the issues around sexual violence that have been raised through the Brittany Higgins and Christian Porter allegations... and the way they’ve been handled. Broadcaster, podcaster and author Yumi Stynes joins us to talk about consent. Consent 101. What is it... and how should we teach it?

Locals being priced out of their own housing market
Covid showed people they could work from home – live in a regional centre or on the coast, and work in the city. It’s meant a massive rise in house prices pretty much across the country. It’s also meant locals are being priced out of their own market. We’re joined by Byron Bay local Nicqui Yazdi who’s had to move to Lennox Head to find affordable housing; Tim McKibbin is CEO of the Real Estate Institute of NSW, who says he’s never seen anything like it. Byron Bay councillor Sarah Ndiaye says the local community is in ruins. Where do we draw the line? Or is regional housing simply a reflection of the gentrification of country and coastal towns?

Should we follow NZ and set-up sex assault courts?
Tens of thousands of women marched in rallies and protests across Australia last week. They sought a renewed dialogue about misogyny, sexual assault and respect. New Zealand established a specialised court ten years ago to deal sensitively with victims of sexual assault. Angela Lynch from the Women’s Legal Service of QLD joins us to talk about how the court works and why she’s leading a push to establish a similar court here in Australia. It’s time to start treating victims of sexual assault with the care and respect they deserve – and it might just mean more perpetrators are brought to justice.

Arab Spring: did social media ruin ‘the moment’?
A decade ago, the world watched the Arab world explode in a fever of protests and explosions. Millions marched in the streets to over-throw governments. But was it worth it? Hossam el-Halamaway is an Egyptian journalist and blogger living in exile in Berlin. He says social media might have informed the world, but it didn’t help the protestors. Peter Greste, the Australian journalist who was imprisoned in Egypt for 400 days says social media promises change, but ultimately is only a lens to view the emerging story. So where are we ten years after the Arab Spring, and what role did the new phenomena of social media play in the campaign?
