Australia recorded the highest number of data breach reports last year since monitoring began in 2018. The latest Notifiable Data Breaches Report found 69 per cent of those data breaches were due to malicious or criminal attacks, with 29 per cent derived from human error. Most personal information in the breaches was contact information, identity data, or financial or health information, which hackers could use to blackmail companies or impersonate individuals. Professor Toby Murray, from the School of Computing and Information Systems at the University of Melbourne, has advice for how to protect yourself from data breaches.

It’s Mothers Day… and while they may not admit it, research shows that Mums DO have favourite children – usually, not intentionally. Mothers also identify the children they have the most conflict with and with whom they are the most disappointed. However, it turns out that adult children are very bad at determining who the favorite child is, and are correct less than half the time. In this episode of Weekend one on one, we hear from Professor Jill Suitor, who’s been carrying out the research – she’s professor of sociology and an affiliate of the Center on Aging in the Life Course at Purdue University in Indiana in the United States.

One in five people in Australia and New Zealand will experience chronic pain at some stage in their lives; and it's recognised as a major global health issue. Unrelieved pain can affect every area of a person's life with major social, financial and emotional consequences.

Professor Lorimer Moseley is a professor of Clinical Neurosciences at the University of South Australia and the Chair of PainAdelaide. In this episode of Weekend One on One, he spoke with Peggy Giakoumelos on the role of psychology in chronic pain management.

Recent days in Kashmir have seen India and Pakistan embroiled in their worst military escalation in decades. Tensions between the two nuclear powers dramatically escalated following a deadly attack on tourists in Pahalgam in Indian-administered Kashmir, which left 26 dead. India launched what it calls a calibrated military operation targeting what it says are terrorist sites inside Pakistan-administered territory and in Pakistan itself. But Pakistani authorities says civilians, including children, were killed. India says it has information that more strikes were planned on its territory, and the action it took was pre-emptive and necessary to stop those taking place.

An elected Dutton Coalition Government would establish a Special Envoy for Hostage Affairs to provide greater support for Australians being held in arbitrary detention overseas. The need for a Special Envoy has been identified by the Australian Wrongful and Arbitrary Detention Alliance as a key strategy to provide a stronger focus on efforts to free Australians being detained by certain countries or in high-risk parts of the world in what is often referred to as ‘hostage diplomacy’.Shadow Foreign Affairs spokesman David Coleman said it was clear that more needed to be done in cases where Australians are detained overseas on spurious or false charges by foreign regimes. He's been talking about that and the rest of the Coalition's foreign affairs policy to SBS Chief Political Correspondent Anna Henderson.

In this episode of Weekend One on One, Wenn Lawson spoke with Biwa Kwan about his decades of work in bridging what he calls the double empathy gap.
