On this episode of The Grapevine, Kulja and Dylan get on the line with AFL diversity consultant Rana Hussain, to talk about the significance of sport in Australia, and how it transcends the game into all areas of culture. Hussain and other experts will be discussing this and more at the long awaited Broadly Speaking event ‘Ahead of the Game, Sport, Storytelling and Symbolism at the Wheeler Centre’.
Then, Cam Walker from Friends of the Earth calls in to discuss the Federal Court's decision regarding the climate litigation brought forth against the Commonwealth by a group of students. Walker discusses the leadership change of the Nationals Party and what it means for the LaTrobe Valley and the politics that will determine what happens moving forward.
And Professor Anne Bardoel from Swinburne University calls in to discuss the retirement of the five-day work week as countries overseas trail a four-day week, the shift towards working from home, and hybrid work arrangements.
