Violent protests in Europe, Greens senator speaks out, pregnancy discrimination + PhD poverty

DEEP DIVE: Can you be fired for being gay?
Did you know you could lose your job for being gay, getting divorced or falling pregnant? Protections in our national laws shield people from discrimination based on gender, sexuality, marital and pregnancy status, but exemptions allow religious schools to discriminate in certain circumstances for religious reasons. A new bill attempts to change this, and has reignited debate between faith-based organisations and LGBTQIA+ advocates. On this week’s Deep Dive, host Dave Marchese sits down with

What's attracting Aussie guys into the manosphere? It's a question investigative journalist Marc Fennell has set out to answer in his new ABC documentary The State of Man.

Freezing your eggs in prison, the pepper spray debate + four generations of wood choppers
Should prisoners be allowed to freeze their eggs? A 'landmark' High Court decision could soon give one Queenslander prisoner the chance after her initial application was rejected.

Freedom of religion or discrimination? Plus, the impacts of a live-streamed execution

INTERVIEW: The 'effective altruist' who gave up his kidney
How far would you go to help people you have never met? Would you commit to giving away a proportion of your income for the rest of your life or even donate a kidney?

The big tech companies were in the hot seat today, ready to be grilled at a parliamentary inquiry into artificial intelligence. We listened in to find out what they were asked, and what they had to say.

To make groceries cheaper, says Max Chandler-Mather. But we have more questions. Plus, there's been reports of a

DEEP DIVE: The illegal trade targeting Aussie reptiles
Australia's native reptiles are highly sought after overseas, with some fetching hundreds and thousands of dollars. But exporting live native reptiles for commercial purposes is illegal — so criminal networks are finding other ways to get them out of the country.

Host Gabby Katanasho is joined by Dr Sebastian Chekunov, who's extensively researched wildlife crime, to

THE SHAKEUP: The Cornell case, the rebrands we hated + what happens if you date at work?
The lawsuit alleging a gang rape at Cornell University has sparked a cultural movement that might be the biggest since #MeToo.

INTERVIEW: 'It never leaves you.' The pain of advocacy after your sister is murdered
Warning: This story contains images and descriptions of an Indigenous person who has died. How do we stop women and children being murdered? It's a question politicians, communities and families have been grappling with for decades. And, it seems we're still looking for the answer. Last month, across 10 hours, three women were allegedly killed by men they knew in separate attacks. Politicians have called the deaths 'profoundly distressing' but said more funding alone won’t solve this proble
