  • Over the past few years, there has been a growing conversation about coercive control in romantic relationships. 

    Last year, NSW became the first state in Australia to criminalise coercive control shortly followed by Queensland.

    Now, new research from eSafety has looked into how this is playing out on, or even being fast-tracked by, technology.  Essentially, they wanted to know - what attitudes and behaviours have become normalised amongst younger generations who have grown up in the digital age, that actually could be a red flag for coercive control? For example, how many people think it’s normal and healthy to track their partner’s location? 

    We'll dive deeper in today's podcast.

  • In a new three-part series, TDA is investigating the complex world of medicated weight-loss. Once lauded as the silver bullet to the stars, Ozempic and other similar medications have slowly but surely crossed into the mainstream, bringing with them new conversations about body image, ethics, health, and accessibility. But how are young people engaging with these medications? In part one of ‘Investigating Ozempic’ we'll unpack the drug’s rise to prominence, and explore the mental health side effects associated with its use. We'll also hear from young Aussies with first-hand experience with Ozempic.
