Have you ever wanted to know how much your colleagues are being paid? Have you ever checked to see if you have a clause in your employment contract that specifically forbids you from asking or sharing that information? New laws have just been passed by the Australian government that will make that a thing of the past. Today we look at the Secure Jobs, Better Pay bill and whether that information on what everyone else is earning, can help you make sure you’re being paid what you’re worth and whether it can actually close Australia’s gender pay gap.

The first three episodes of Harry and Meghan’s much anticipated Netflix documentary have finally dropped and we've learned quite a bit from the royal couple. But for those around in 1995, who witnessed Harry’s mother also spill the beans on the firm as the machine behind the royal family is commonly known, we only realised much later just how much she had been manipulated into that interview and the damage it would cause to both her and her family. Today, we look at whether Harry and Meghan have been ensnared by the exact same trap that Diana fell into and what this will mean for the Sussex’s future and family affairs.

Ian Thorpe has 5 Olympic gold medals, 9 Commonwealth gold, 13 World Championships and 23 world records. In his 9 years competing in the pool he was known as the Thorpedo, his big feet and long wingspan propelling him through the water for almost every distance from 100m to 800m. But there was one title we weren’t aware of when he was in the sporting spotlight. Today we speak to the man himself about the moment he sat down with Michael Parkinson and revealed to the world he was gay, whether he would have come out sooner had he known the response from the public and how he plans to spend his time celebrating in Sydney for World Pride in 2023.

Just recently, a little boy playing beside his grandparents' Byron Bay swimming pool was literally dragged into the water by a huge python. While the toddler was saved, there are many warnings coming our way about the size, location and boldness of snakes that have been flushed out of their usual living quarters by massive floods across many states. Today, we look at what we’re being told is going to be the worst ever snake season and what other creepy crawlies are going to be bigger and bitier than ever this year.
