Brent talks with D’Arcy Richardson about a confronting week of national issues exposing cracks across Australia’s systems.

From a regional NSW charity flying critically ill children for life-saving treatment now pushed to the brink by fuel costs, to billion-dollar government awareness campaigns questioned over whether they actually change behaviour. From debates over second chances in politics, to immigration oversight gaps and long-term overstays, the conversation cuts into how policy is working — and where it isn’t.

A straight look at the tension between intent, execution, and real-world consequences.
