Hack

More than 100 clubs have closed down around Australia in the last couple of years.  With lockdowns and lockouts, health kicks and Tinder, people have been hitting clubs way less, particularly in Sydney. So is clubbing a thing of the past?  Plus, have you seen the historic photos of protesters taking over the Sri Lankan Presidential Palace? It's a massive moment for the country. We talk to former Hack host Avani Dias about what's going on, and what's led to this.  And, Monekypox is not going away. The number of cases is slowly rising in Australia, and it's got some experts pretty worried.  Live guest:  Mick Gibb, The Night Time Industries Association  Avani Dias, ABC South Asia correspondent  Dr Brad McKay

It's the Shakeup! This week we're chatting about…  Female tennis players wanting a change to Wimbledon's all-white dress code, especially when they're menstruating, Boris making a brexit from politics (soon-ish), and switching off the socials when everyone but you (and us!) are holidaying in sunny Europe. Yeah, we're so happy for them...  Join Joanna Lauder with comedian Rhys Nicholson and journalist Matilda Boseley.

There's been a lot of talk about abortion laws in the US recently. But we've actually had some pretty major changes here in Australia. South Australia has become the last jurisdiction to decriminalise abortion, meaning it will finally be more accessible, and people with unwanted pregnancies won't have to fit through tricky legal loopholes.  Plus, just this week we've seen the impact of climate change on our country – floods taking over towns that have already been flooded two or three times. Ages ago, the Abbott Government scrapped modelling that would assess the future impact of climate change on our economy. But now, Labor's bringing it back. So how bad will the news be?  And, federal politics has been behind the times when it comes to reflecting the community. But that's about to change. It's going to be more diverse than ever and includes the biggest group of First Nations MPs Canberra has ever seen. Allow us to introduce you to some of them.  Live guests: Daile Kelleher, Children By Choice  Polly Hemming, The Australia Institute

Thirty bucks for watermelon, $12 for lettuce, this is food insecurity at play. But your rent might be going up too. And somehow rental vacancies are going down as well. We have a big cost of living theme on the show today. We're digging into why food is getting so pricey, why it could get even worse, and where it’s particularly bad. Then we're going to look into some new rental data that shows there are almost no options for some renters.  Plus, are we about to get COVID again? Because we're being warned by some experts that it's about to get bad (again). And we're really not ready, tbh.

It's big, it's dramatic and it's points-based. Major changes have been introduced to Centrelink and some people think they're too confusing. Five points for this, ten points for that, but what if you make a mistake and suddenly lose your payments?  And, a program called Emma's Project empowers kids with the language to articulate sexual assault if it's something they experience.  Live guests:  Tony Burke, Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations  Nunami Sculthorpe-Green, Blak Led Tours Tasmania  Joe Tucci, chief executive, Australian Childhood Foundation
