Ahead of today's interest rate rise, your regular reminder: Corporate profits are driving inflation, not wages. Your rent or mortgage is going up and your wages are stagnant but don't worry: BP, Shell, Woodside, CBA & NAB just banked *obscene* record profits.

I need some new podcasts. I like in depth interview shows about society and culture. Stuff like Ezra Klein, although I’ve been finding him a bit dour of late. Any suggestions?

Hey folks, throwing this out there? Has anyone got good examples of youth focused sexual education programs. Digital or otherwise. Focusing on the kind of stuff young people want/ need to learn about (consent, porn, ethical sex etc).
I’ve raised my voice for climate action. If we all act together, we can create a future we’re proud of. Join me, and raise your voice too. togetherwecanmovement.org.au/share/xkaz66Xo… #TogetherWeCan
