Shownotes Transcript

In some industries, for every dollar that a worker over 21 earns, their younger colleagues only get 40 cents. It's something the Australian Council of Trade Unions wants to change, but businesses are already gearing up to fight it.

Plus, is karma a relaxing thought? For half of Gen Z, it is.

Guests:
