Community members have long warned that overcrowding, misinformation and a lack of communication in Aboriginal languages means those communities are left vulnerable in the pandemic.

A survey has revealed Aussies have done eight weeks of unpaid work on average during the pandemic - and young people are the worst off.

Plus, the copyright battle over popstar Taylor Swift’s music has heated up after she re-recorded and released her iconic album ‘Red’.

Live guests:
Malarndirri McCarthy, Garrwa-Yanyuwa woman and NT Labor Senator
Dan Nahum, researcher from the Australia Institute
Dr Kylie Pappalardo, copyright lawyer
