There are no easy answers to undoing all the problems driving intergenerational inequality but hope is not lost. Young Australians are increasingly politically influential, making up 43% of voters at the last federal election. Jane Lee and Matilda Boseley call on Guardian Australia political reporter Amy Remeikis and the Australia Institute’s chief economist Greg Jericho to find out whether this is influencing policy debates on everything from housing to climate change, and how millennials can use their new-found power for good
Why is the best way to get a pay rise to get a new job? Millennials have entered the workforce at a time when work is precarious: a third of Australia’s workforce are employed as casuals, freelancers or on short-term contracts. And wages have been heading south for the best part of a decade. But how did we get here? In this episode of Who Screwed Millennials? Jane Lee and Matilda Boseley talk to chief political correspondent Paul Karp, ACTU secretary Sally McManus, assistant national secretary of the MUA Thomas Mayo, former industrial relations consultant Paul Houlihan, labour history academic Geraldine Fela, ACTU president Michele O’Neil, former outworker Nguyet Nguyen and author Emma Do, to examine the successive decisions over four decades that got us here
How did a system that was meant to make access to university more equitable end up burdening students with the very $100,000 degrees John Howard promised Australia would never have? Jane Lee and Matilda Boseley talk to the Labor-appointed architect of the higher education contribution scheme to understand why student fees were introduced, who benefited and how he wound up at a dinner party where guests were planning to burn an effigy … of him. In part three of Who screwed millennials? we hear from economist Prof Bruce Chapman, Guardian Australia editor Lenore Taylor, university historian Julia Horne, VicWise founder Manorani Guy and education report Caitlin Cassidy to trace the dozens of ideological changes over decades that transformed the nature of our university system
How did the government set fire to the Australian housing market? Jane Lee and Matilda Boseley look at how the threat of a communist uprising, a benign sounding tax review and one prime minister’s admiration for two world leaders changed the lives of young Australians
With rising house prices, a decade of wage stagnation and ballooning student debt, young people in Australia are living through what author Jill Filipovic describes as ‘a series of broken promises’. In episode one of this new series from Guardian Australia, Full Story co-host Jane Lee and reporter Matilda Boseley sort through these broken promises, investigating why young people are living in a time of such economic strain. In this episode, we hear from a handful of experts featured in Who screwed millennials?, including author Jill Filipovic, youth researcher Intifar Chowdhury, author Malcolm Harris, Guardian Australia editor Lenore Taylor and former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis about how millennials became the first generation to be worse off than their parents
Is there a right way to fix political donations? At the last federal election Labor promised to tackle the controversial issue, but this week the crossbench came up with their own proposal. Jane Lee speaks with editor-in-chief Lenore Taylor and head of newsroom Mike Ticher about how to limit the influence of political donations

When Eugenia Kuyda created Replika, the AI companion app, she had no idea it would be downloaded millions of times all around the world. The results were more powerful than she could ever have predicted. But so was the backlash
Nuclear power is shaping up as a major issue leading into the next federal election. The Coalition wants Australia to lift its ban on nuclear power, with leader Peter Dutton saying his plan would involve building as many as six power plants. But the government has dismissed the idea. Environment reporter Graham Readfearn talks to Nour Haydar about what’s being proposed and whether it’s possible in Australia You can support the Guardian at theguardian.com/fullstorysupport
In this episode of Today in Focus, an edited family photo of the Princess of Wales with her children on Mother’s Day has fuelled an intensifying swirl of conspiracy theories surrounding the royal couple
Australian millennials are the first generation to be worse off than their parents, and things are only heading in the same direction for Gen Z. In this deeply-researched yet tongue-in-cheek five-part podcast series, Full Story co-host Jane Lee and social media reporter Matilda Boseley investigate the mystery of who screwed young Australians out of affordable housing, education and secure work, and why inequality is rising in Australia Who screwed millennials? will be in your Full Story podcast feed from 25 March
This week, fresh speculation has erupted over Australia’s plan for nuclear powered submarines — and whether it will ever happen. Has the government made a strategic mistake in the region by tying itself so closely to the US? What could the upcoming presidential election mean for Australia’s defence plans? Jane Lee talks with head of newsroom Mike Ticher and national news editor Patrick Keneally about the future of Australia’s alliance with the US
The US presidential election will be a rematch between two well known, yet deeply unpopular candidates. Joe Biden has won the Democratic nomination but the 81-year-old is the oldest president to ever seek re-election. And his opponent, Republican Donald Trump, is running an increasingly aggressive and angry campaign. Guardian US senior political correspondent Lauren Gambino tells Nour Haydar how American voters are feeling about the choice that lies ahead You can support the Guardian at theguardian.com/fullstorysupport
Last month the government unveiled its plan for a vehicle-efficiency standard to incentivise carmakers to supply more low- and zero-emission cars. Climate and environment editor Adam Morton tells Nour Haydar about the plan to make electric vehicles more affordable – and why some carmakers and the Coalition are standing in the way You can support the Guardian at theguardian.com/fullstorysupport
For the past six months, Guardian journalist Michael Safi has been trying to find out who is behind an AI company that creates deepfakes. Deepfakes are causing havoc around the world, with police and lawmakers baffled about how to deal with them. And in trying to answer one question, he has been left with a bigger one: is AI going to make it impossible to sort fact from fiction?
After months of delays and disruptions, former Northern Territory police officer Zachary Rolfe testified at the inquest into Warlpiri teenager Kumanjayi Walker’s death. In 2022 Rolfe was found not guilty of murdering the 19-year-old, who he shot three times during a violent arrest. Courts and justice reporter Nino Bucci attended the inquest and tells Nour Haydar how racist language and a mock award raised questions about the culture within the NT police force You can support the Guardian at theguardian.com/fullstorysupport
A deficit of Liberal party policy has been exposed in the wake of Labor’s win in the Dunkley byelection last week. Labor and the Greens are both on the front foot with their own policies on housing, tax, and energy. Is the Liberal party lacking in ideas on how to combat the challenges facing Australians? And will this week’s front bench reshuffle make a difference? Gabrielle Jackson talks with head of newsroom Mike Ticher and national news editor Patrick Keneally about the Coalition policy deficit
The Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 departed Kuala Lumpur on 8 March 2014, bound for Beijing with 12 crew and 227 passengers on board – including seven Australians. About 40 minutes later it disappeared from the radar and its fate remains unknown. Now, 10 years on, there are hopes for a new search. Guardian Australia senior reporter Tory Shepherd tells Nour Haydar why still so little is known about what happened that fateful day You can support the Guardian at theguardian.com/fullstorysupport
This is the story of Geoffrey Hinton, a man who set out to understand the brain and ended up working with a group of researchers who invented a technology so powerful that even they don’t truly understand how it works. This is about a collision between two mysterious intelligences – two black boxes – human and artificial. And it’s already having profound consequences
A once-in-a-generation expert review warns that not enough Australians are receiving a higher education. To fix this, their report proposes a new, needs-based funding model so students from disadvantaged backgrounds are better supported at university. But not everyone thinks it’s the right plan. Education reporter Caitlin Cassidy tells Jane Lee about the barriers to university and why we’re at a turning point for repairing higher education You can support the Guardian at theguardian.com/fullstorysupport

our local member gets flown into and out of town by the RAAF at each end of parliamentary sessions. It's only a 4 hour drive to Canberra.

thank you for writing and talking about this. I have always wondered with the only way to diagnose endo is through invasive surgery, then how many are undiagnosed. There are also so many barriers to getting diagnosed and for me it took over 25 years to get a diagnosis. I remember crying with relief that I had Severe Endo, I finally an answer. But having Severe Endo comes with a cost to personal wellbeing. A diagnosis only provides an idea of what is wrong. I can only hope that future generations of women also have an answer on how to treat the disease.

I have no sympathy for CEO's who are proffering millions off destruction of our homes, but their homes are "sacred." The earth isn't dying. it's being murdered and thebmurderers have names and addresses, get a new job, and get out of the way of change Woodside.

How the state correspondent or LNP comes officer could make a comment about NSW Labor being synonymous with corruption after the 12 years of NSW LNP, the constant changing of leaders due to corruption inquiries, is really amazing. Even the failure to poit out that Perrottet was never elected by the people of NSW to be premier as he alluded to in his own speech. I know legacy media can be precious, but listen to that pod back and tell me it didn't sound like two Menzian styled LNP voters and I'll show you a person who cannot identify underlying bias. Honestly I was taken aback when the male voice was identified as the Guardian state political correspondent and not a former LNP communications director. Just wow

I hope Tate is put in jail for a very long time, bankrupted, & discredited his kind of toxic opinions, views & violence are the very reason we have laws to keep society safe from people like him who have no morals, ethics, conscience, scruples or humanity his type of dissociative disorder in a world full of social media access should be cause to act & bring criminal charges society MUST shut down men promoting toxic masculinity

Stupid comment was made over letting the water go and keeping Warragamba Dam water level at 60% earlier. The rivers didn't have such a capacity for almost two years.

have you been to the ICU ward lately? It's predominantly filled with people who have made bad lifestyle choices their whole lives. with the least respect for health as can be achieved, whilst maintaining a pulse. no exercise, deep fried starch and sugar.

these laws are a move towards totalitarianism, the fact that the government's can decide what is 'vallid' protest says it all. I have been an activist for three decades and have employed these exact tactics across Australia and the world, they are always non violent and are very useful to get the point across, making the comfortable, uncomfortable is the point.

is 'Full Story' aware that in the description of the show content there's a large advertisement for Peta Credlin's Sky News program? .... tone deaf & utterly inappropriate

Good episode, however, you twice referred to the victim as having taken her own life. The coroner has not yet made that determination
