Have you ever been told you just don't have a head for maths?

Maybe you still use your fingers to add up or have trouble making sense of a bus timetable? It might actually be a neurological disorder called dyscalculia.

It's kind of like dyslexia, but with numbers - and it gets nowhere near the same funding support.

Plus, the votes are in for South Australia's state election and experts are describing it as a "stunning" victory for Labor. So what does that mean for the upcoming federal election?

Also, it's been almost five years since First Nations leaders called for an Indigenous voice to parliament in the Uluru Statement from the Heart. Young First Nations people are frustrated that since then, nothing's happened.

And we get an update on what's been happening in Russia-Ukraine war.


Guests
