Sick certificate safety, stopping the algal bloom + support for autism


Listen Later

Online medical companies offering sick certificates and prescriptions are everywhere. They're cheap and easy. But are they risky too?

Plus, the government is planning to divert kids with mild to moderate developmental delay or autism away from the NDIS.

And South Australia's algal bloom has killed marine life from hundreds of species. Will an extra $6 million in funding for support and research be enough to put out the 'underwater bushfire'?

Also, ever eaten something to appear more healthy, cool, or morally superior? 'Performative eating' is on the rise.
