For the first time in two years, direct flights from Australia to Bali are back, and there's no quarantine requirements for fully-vaxxed tourists.

But how can the tourism industry make international flying more sustainable? There's calls to make aviation fuel more efficient to keep gas emissions down.

And, Youth Allowance and JobSeeker payments are going up this month - but with the rising cost of petrol hitting everyone hard, will it make much of a difference?

We also speak to Dr Rachel Farrelly, who is making history by becoming the first Indigenous female surgeon in Australia.

Plus, the murder trial of Kumanjayi Walker resulted in a not guilty verdict for constable Zachary Rolfe. Now, Walpiri elders are calling for a change to policing in Indigenous communities — including getting rid of guns.

Shortness of breath. Tight chest. Heart palpitations. Feelings of doom.

So, what should you do if you have one?

Plus, an unofficial Instagram grief club is helping young people feel less isolated after the death of a loved one.

The party - backed by billionaire Clive Palmer, led by MP Craig Kelly - claims to have amassed tens of thousands of members in the last year. But who exactly are they? And how is the party accessing personal information?

Plus, there's some health and safety warnings going around: about a mozzie-borne virus called Japanese encephalitis, and an increased risk of shark attacks after the floods.

And new research is shaking up how we think about taking pics of animals.Live guests:

Homelessness was already a problem in northern NSW — and that was before a 'tsunami' of flood waters swept through the town last week.

Thousands of houses could now be uninhabitable.

We're on the ground in Lismore, talking to young people about their experiences with the floods. Many are now asking: where are they going to live?

It's the Shakeup and we're talking ...

The devastating floods that have hit south-east Queensland and NSW this week, what it's been like for young people to find their sexuality and come out during the pandemic, and the 'unofficial rules of Australia'.

Join Hack's Dave Marchese with artist Johnny Hawkins and Emma Gillespie from Mamamia.

Three years ago, during an attempted arrest in a remote Northern Territory community, Aboriginal teenager Kumanjayi Walker was shot and killed.

In a first since the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody thirty years ago, the police officer who shot him is on trial for murder.

Policeman Zachary Rolfe, who has pleaded not guilty to murder and lesser charges, finally took the stand on Wednesday after weeks of evidence from the prosecution.

What have the jury heard so far?

Plus, what it's like to discover your sexuality in lockdown.

The latest UN report on climate change has been released, and its findings aren't pretty.

The UN Secretary General António Guterres called the report an "atlas of human suffering” and said the “abdication of leadership is criminal." But, amidst those bleak warnings, there remains some hope.

Meanwhile in NSW and QLD, the impacts of record-breaking floods continue.

So, how do communities build resilience when faced with trauma and tragedy?

Plus, why is petrol so expensive right now, and will prices drop?
