This week, we critic some Australian ads, especially the tourism ads, how these ads are still very white/wealthy centric. Diversity has been used as a tokenism for a lot of industries, advertising isn't an exception, utilising POC as a prop but never centres the perspectives of POC.

With Japan's COVID state of emergency, shouldn't IOC call the Olympic off? Is it competition or money drive? We look into why there hasn't been much Asian Australian's participation in local sports and question is it the environment or simply the parents' preference of academic achievement over sports achievements? This week we'd like to share aTaiwanese documentary about plus-size women, their heart wrenching experience of being the marginalised people in Taiwan.

Helen begins this episode about the podcasts she listened to the past week, conversations around sperm donor and infertility industry(stay tune we will have a massive episode about this topic), the representation of disability and fat community, how each is trying to reclaim the rights of language usage. Helen highly recommend The Saturday Paper's podcast 7am on the subject of right-wing terrorism and how people with power gets to decide what and how to label terrorism.

This week we catch up and rant about how bad the government's response to the crisis of sexual harassment and the need to have CONSENT education in high school. The Xinjiang and Uyghur's forced labour is also this week's topic, as we want to present the story and open up the awareness of individual choices in consumption, how a super power like CCP can utilise capitalism to eliminate ethnic culture and language.
