Right now, Tiktok is awash with videos of how to get around the social media ban for under 16s, which is due to come into effect in a week.

At the same time, fringe apps like Yope are rocketing up the Apple charts, as teenagers plan where they’ll go when the major platforms boot them off. 

There’s also a court case underway, challenging the government on whether the ban is even legal.

Today, associate editor at Crikey, Cam Wilson, on who is behind the lawsuit, whether they’ll win, and how this ban could change the country.

Adele Ferguson is an investigative journalist at the ABC. She’s spent more than a year reporting on the crisis unfolding in Australia’s childcare system. 

Last week, alongside her colleague Chris Gillett, she won the top honour in journalism –  the Gold Walkley.

Her work has inspired us at 7am and so today, we’re bringing you an episode we made back in July, where we spoke to Adele about the dangers in an industry driven by profit.

Australia’s childcare crisis

When Labor came to power, it promised to clean up politics – to end the “jobs for mates” culture once and for all. But this week, the government quietly released the report it’s been sitting on for more than two years – and it’s not a great look. 

The ‘No Favourites’ review found an appointments system riddled with nepotism, where friends are given jobs as rewards for loyalty. And when it finally saw the light of day, it landed with all the energy of a Yes Minister  episode — open government, in name only. 

Today, press gallery journalist Karen Middleton, on the government’s integrity problem, and why transparency always seems to be the last priority.

The 'jobs for mates' report Labor wanted to hide

The Australian Energy Market Operator says the electricity grid is unprepared to manage the planned closure of the Eraring power station in New South Wales – and eastern parts of Australia could be set for widespread blackouts.

The Coalition and parts of the media have seized on the report saying it’s proof that the government has an “obsession” with renewables, over reliability and cost.

So what needs to change to keep the lights on? 

Today, energy and climate change program director at The Grattan Institute, Alison Reeve, on what will happen as coal comes offline – and why our power bills are really going up.
