Is the system failing us? From a nationwide tech blackout to a shrinking paycheck, we’re asking the hard questions. 

Brent sits down with Jason Morrison for The Morrison Brief. We’re cutting through the noise of a massive week in Australia, starting with the software "timekeeping" defect that brought the nation’s largest telco to its knees.

We’re also tackling the grim reality of the economy. With new OECD data confirming that real wages for Australians have plummeted by roughly 5% since 2021, we discuss why the "per capita" recession feels so real for families across the country. Plus, we dive into the latest controversy in the visa system: Labor is facing scrutiny over its "tradie" intake, with critics pointing out that family members are dominating the program while our local skills gap remains.


The Telstra Meltdown: How a simple time-sync error paralyzed emergency services and left millions disconnected.


The Wage Squeeze: Why high inflation is eating your income—and why the OECD says we’re lagging behind our international peers.


Visa Integrity: Are we bringing in the workers we actually need, or is the "tradie" program being used as a family reunion vehicle?
