• Whoever wins Victoria's November election, police will be able to wand anyone in public for knives
• At least three people have died after a news helicopter crashed in Los Angeles
• Kim Kardashian has been awarded exactly what she asked for from a Paris court over that terrifying 2016 robbery - one symbolic euro.

Today, we speak with tech founder Lucy Wark about what the industry is doing to course-correct.

Did you know the average salary for an Australian university Vice Chancellor is over $1 million? That's almost double the Prime Minister's salary. Today we're looking at Australian universities. And it's a particularly timely topic, because One Nation just released their plans to slash student visa. We'll unpack how and why universities went from being educational institutions with a public-service mindset, to big businesses running on a commercialised model.
We speak to specialist journalist Julie Hare who has been covering Australian universities for 25 years.

HEADLINES:

• Pauline Hanson has been condemned yet again for an offensive comment made on another podcast.

• The man widely acknowledged as the Godfather of AI is concerned artificial intelligence could escape human control. 
• New research shows almost every Australian on non-pension income support is struggling to afford groceries.

• A betting company ad featuring Sydney Sweeney has sparked backlash from dozens of female athletes, who say it sexualises women's sport.

AI is making scams faster, more convincing, and harder to detect - and it can happen to anyone. Charlotte Mortlock talks to cybercrime expert Richard Mallam, founder and CEO of identity technology company VO and former head of payments and identity at Google, about how scammers are using deepfakes and cloned voices (built from as little as three to seven seconds of audio) to impersonate your bank, your bank, or your family, and why the system currently puts the burden on victims to prove a scam wasn't them.
Richard explains the three stages of a modern scam, why voice fraud has surged 1,300% year on year, and what technology already exists to stop it.

If any of this feels close to home, IDCARE offers free, independent support on 1800 595 160, and you can report it to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au.
