Shownotes Transcript

There’s outrage everywhere about an Israeli air strike in Gaza that killed seven aid workers, including Aussie Zomi Frankcom. Israel says it was a mistake; the UN reckons 196 aid workers have been killed in the war so far. We speak with Oxfam about life in Gaza, nearly six months since the invasion started.

Also, businesswoman and former lawyer Samantha Mostyn will be Australia’s next governor-general. So who is she and why should we care about what she does in the role?

Plus, is it time for the youth allowance independence age to be lowered so more young people from the country can study?

Guests:

  • Bushra Khalidi, policy and advocacy lead in the West Bank, Oxfam
  • Shalailah Medhora, political reporter, Hack
  • Isabella Coombs, Regional, Rural, Remote Students Association, ANU
