  • Last year, the government legislated a change to HELP and other student loans, with that change now coming into effect.With that in mind, we thought it was the perfect time for a classic TDA explainer—breaking down everything you need to know about your student loan and, more importantly, how this change might affect you.A quick note: This podcast is produced with financial support from the Australian Government. But as always, this content has been produced by The Daily Aus using our normal processes.

  • An Aussie Netflix series has become one of the most watched shows on the platform. Since 'Apple Cider Vinegar' was released just over a week ago, it’s been streamed nearly four million times and made it into the top five of the streaming service’s global charts. The miniseries follows the rise of Australian wellness blogger Belle Gibson, who claimed she’d been diagnosed with a malignant brain cancer. Gibson told her followers she was treating her cancer with a strict health routine of organic foods, coffee enemas and juices. She amassed hundreds of thousands of Instagram followers, secured a lucrative book deal and landed an Apple partnership. But… she never actually had cancer. Today, we’re exploring the true story behind Netflix’s Apple Cider Vinegar and the rise and fall of Belle Gibson.

  • This week, the unfair dismissal case brought by journalist Antoinette Lattouf against the ABC is being heard in court. The case centres around a claim, by Lattouf, that she was fired by the ABC halfway through a short-term contract because of a post she shared to Instagram about the war in Gaza. The ABC is fighting against the claims and says the journalist was not unfairly dismissed. In today's deep dive, we'll revisit the allegations that led to this point, and unpack what we've learnt from the courtroom this week.

  • From stacking shelves to tapping away at the till, shops in Australia are run by workers whose future pay and conditions hang in the balance. Australia’s workplace tribunal, the Fair Work Commission, is hearing a case that could see the minimum gap between shifts cut from 12 to 10 hours. The proposal would also scrap rest breaks for higher-paid retail managers, a measure supported by some of Australia’s biggest companies – including Woolworths, Coles, Kmart, and MECCA.

    It comes as more than 300 ex-Lovisa staff launch a class action against the jewellery company over allegations they were underpaid, and regularly and illegally deprived of rest breaks. TDA’s deep dive will dig into some of the big legal battles set to redefine Australia’s retail scene.

  • It’s been two weeks since U.S. President Donald Trump became president, and there have - of course - been many headline-making moves from the 47th president already. 

    One that our audience has been asking us to explain is his policy on tariffs.

    Over the weekend, Trump signed an executive order to impose new tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China. Trump claimed the tariffs, which will come into effect this week, will “stop the flood of illegal aliens and drugs from pouring across our borders”.

    So, what does this all mean? We are here to answer your questions.
