AMP has been called out after wanting to monitor employees through “big-brother-style” surveillance tactics.

The financial services giant has given employees one week to sign new contracts, which includes allowing continuous surveillance at work and while working from home.

Bill McDonald said on 4BC Mornings, "I think this is way over the top. It's a violation of human rights."

"Surely any employer who wants to intrude like this into your personal life, in your home, I don't think they're worth working for," he continued.

TikTok Australia has collaborated with Our Watch’s The Line to launch ‘Respect. It’s The GOAT.'

It’s a campaign aimed at providing young men with practical tools to call out and challenge disrespect.

After research from YouGov commissioned by TikTok reveals 81 per cent of young men want to call out disrespect towards women, but a whopping 70 per cent feel there’s significant barriers holding them back. 

TikTok comedian, Lachlan Fairbairn, told Bill McDonald on 4BC Mornings, "I think it really is important that we try and reinforce respect and promote that, it really does make a difference."

"And if you see stuff that you don't agree with I think we do need to be talking about the fact that you should say something and call it out or show in some way that you don't find it funny," Mr Fairbairn continued.

Bill McDonald said on 4BC Mornings, "The reality is our best stadiums are Suncorp and the Gabba [and they] are at the end of their life and the rest need a full renovation."

"This city was never ready to host an Olympic Games when we put our hand up, and it's still not ready four years later," Bill continued.

Founder and director of Strategic Analysis Australia, Michael Shoebridge told Bill McDonald on 4BC Mornings, "I think it's more that Vladimir Putin knew he had to give Donald Trump something."

"So he threw him the smallest bone that he could clap his eyes on, because this really is the ceasefire you get when you don't have a ceasefire."
