Mike and Dr. Tanveer Ahmed discuss the link between youth crime and social media. Despite breaching Meta and TikTok's rules, videos of Australian kids engaging in criminal activities remain online, exacerbating the youth crime crisis. Examples include videos of car theft, drug use, and break-ins, some dating back over a year as social media platforms are criticised for not adequately addressing this issue. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mike is joined by Dr Rachel Matthews, Student Welfare Co-Ordinator & author of Never Look ‘Desperate’, to discuss what the Dr refers to as Australia's male crisis. 'We have men lighting their estranged wives on fire, men fleeing overseas after killing the mother of their children, we have men murdering women who were out for a jog in the middle of the day'. 'We have sky-rocketing rates of male suicide, addiction, disconnected youth and unprecedented rates of incarcerated young men, especially those of colour'. Where do these truths connect?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Daily Telegraph's Investigative reporter John Rolfe joins Mike to discuss his recent article revealing the dire situation in Box Hill, Sydney. Despite promises made by the NSW government in 2018, no progress has been made in building the four public schools desperately needed in the area. Residents face lengthy commutes to pick up their children from distant schools. The lack of essential infrastructure, including roads and playgrounds, highlights a failure of both political sides and government levels to support the community's growth. Urgent action is needed to avoid a 15-year delay in critical infrastructure development. However, instead of cooperation, public and private interests seem to be locked in a standoff.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
