Courtney's mum was murdered in a domestic violence homicide. She's one of at least 1,000 kids who've lost parents this way, according to research from Melbourne University. And we’ve just heard about the impacts of growing up in a violent home, but what services are out there to help young people? This school on the New South Wales Central Coast is doing things a bit differently... Plus visa-free travel, two giant pandas and Cheng Lei blocked: the first Australian visit by a Chinese Premier in 7 years has wrapped up today.  Guests:Professor Kathryn Joy, domestic violence homicide researcher, University of MelbourneDr Ben Herscovitch, research fellow, ANU

This is what it's like growing up in a violent home

Should prison be more about punishment or rehabilitation? We speak with inmates involved in a wildlife program that's helping the community and potentially setting them up with new careers. Also, ABC Four Corners reporter Avani Dias joins us to talk about her investigation into Indian spying in Australia. And you'll meet the young Australian surfers trying to save their beaches before they disappear. Guests:Avani Dias, reporter, ABC Four CornersDr Julie Toohey, criminology lecturer, University of Adelaide 

Do rehab programs in prison actually work?

New data shows CEOs had an average salary increase of 14% in the last 12 months. We have to ask: are those kinds of increases fair? Plus a restaurant in the US has announced a ban on anyone under 35 years old from eating at their restaurant.  And speaking of bans: Denmark has taken spicy ramen noodles off the menu, claiming there is a risk of poisoning due to the extreme spice.  Host Dave Marchese is joined by actor Jessica Marchi and filmmaker and creator Jack Toohey. 

The Shakeup: maximum wage, banning gen z and forbidden noodles

With some of the biggest music festivals in the country taking a break this year, some Aussie acts are heading out on regional tours to play for as many punters as possible.  And the Premier of South Australia wants to ban big lobbyists, big businesses, unions and you from donating to political campaigns. So, how would the plan work?  Plus, should we be worried about an egg shortage? Australia's biggest outbreak of bird flu has hit five egg farms in Victoria with over 800,000 birds culled and a chance some businesses could go under.  Guests:Kate Griffiths, democracy researcher, Grattan InstituteJesse Higgs, founder, Party in the PaddockMichael "Maje" Kolmajer, bassist, Rum Jungle

Why small towns put on big gigs

Australians are the world's biggest fashion consumers and it's fuelling a waste crisis. In France, they're talking about a tax to try to fix the problem - so will it work? And about 50 schoolgirls in Victoria have had their faces used to create AI porn that was then shared online. Can governments legislate quick enough to stop crimes like this before they take off?  Also, last year former NRL player Jarryd Hayne was found guilty of sexual assault and jailed, but now he's walking free after his convictions were overturned this morning.  Plus, a web of lies and a cover up: in the wake of the PwC tax leaks scandal, a report on the government's spending on private consulting firms landed this arvo, and it's pretty scathing about the Big Four.  Guests:Jamie McKinnell, court reporter, ABCDr Lisa Lake, director of the Centre of Excellence in Sustainable Fashion and Textiles, UTS
