Australia is a rich country with access to healthcare and nutritious foods in a climate envied by others. 

But recent data shows 50% of Australians are living with a long term illness. This is the focus of a new TV show on the ABC. 

Magda Szubanski is an Australian icon, a comedian whose characters are beloved by millions and whose place in Australian pop culture is legendary … but there may be some scratching their heads about why she of all people would be the face of a TV show about the health of Australians, because she isn’t - in the eyes of many - someone who could possibly be healthy. 

Today, we look at the science of fat, whether weight really is the biggest health issue Australians are facing or whether it’s become more of an obstacle to treatment for those issues, and whether we can actually be big and healthy.

Cassius Turvey was just 15-years-old when he was allegedly beaten with a metal pole as he walked home from school last month. 

As he lay dying in hospital, police would say things that would be interpreted as being offhand, refusing to confirm whether racism was a factor in the crime. Newspapers would barely delve into the incident, while the family of a young boy whose life was slowly leaving his young body, were pleading for hime to be considered a human who deserved humanity’s sympathy. 

Today, after a week of action around the death of Cassius Turvey, we look at how Australia still struggles to tell the stories of First Nation's People.

Have you ever been in a physical relationship with someone, maybe one that started out all hot and heavy, only to find out a little further down the track that your libidos aren’t on the same page?

With one partner becoming the pursuer and seeming to constantly want sex ending up frustrated at the lack of physical intimacy, the other, withdraws and starts to resent the pursuer for not understanding that they simply aren’t in the mood.

It can be a deal breaker for some but can you actually overcome it?

Today, we look at why some of us have a high sex drive while others are a slower burn and whether we can actually find a way to meet somewhere in the middle.

Kanye West has said some pretty awful things about the Jewish community of late.

He has accused them of controlling business, of controlling people in his industry including himself, he has threatened them, and said he will no longer stand for their influence… and it has set off groups of like-minded individuals who have taken their suspicions of Jewish people to the streets.

But where does this hatred for Jewish people come from and why haven't the lessons of the past shown people just how deadly and dangerous this type of rhetoric can be?

Today, we try to understand anti-semitism and why Kanye is wading into a long and brutal history with a tweet.

Last week there was a lot of conversations around the Diamonds, the Aussie netball team, who pushed back on a sponsorship deal that would see them wear the logo of a company that had a complicated and racist history with Indigenous Australians. 

While the outcome saw the diamonds lose $15 million and possibly more, questions were raised about the intersection of sport and politics, about whether athletes should keep quiet and take the money for the sake of the game rather than have an opinion about the deal.

Today we look at how clubs select who backs them financially and whether that money should come with a guarantee to not bite the hand that feeds them.
