Why Australia needs to change the date

Lidia Thorpe and the indigenous Voice to Parliament discussion, Prince Harry's virginity, and Beyonce done dirty at the Grammy's

The Greens say yes. Lidia Thorpe says no. Anthony Albanese says yes. Peter Dutton says he needs more information.

So just what is the indigenous Voice to Parliament and what will it mean for the way Australian government functions?

James Law and Lucy McLeod bring you up to speed in the debate that's dividing Australia's politicians. 

Meanwhile, the RBA has ousted the royals from the five dollar bill. The 'dirty Queenie' will soon be confined to the history books.

But is it the right move? Should the RBA have made the decision? And what does it mean for the republic campaign?

In other royal news, what's the go with the Prince Harry virginity story? We discuss.

And finally, the Grammys are here. We've got winners, we've got losers, and Lucy discovers who Bonnie Raitt is.

Will the indigenous Voice to Parliament pass?

Legalising marijuana in Australia, virtual reality treatments, Novak Djokovic's 22nd title

Legalising marijuana could earn the Australian economy up to $28 billion. But is Australia ready for it? And does the country even want it?

The Greens Party are making their case, and James Law and Lucy McLeod discuss whether we could see the country go the same way as New York, California, Canada, Amsterdam, and others.

Elsewhere, Western Sydney University's Dr Caroline Mills joins us to discuss how virtual reality can help improve anxiety and depression in adults.

She discusses a five month study which has shown significant effects.

And finally, a year on from one of the biggest sagas to hit world tennis, Novak Djokovic departs Australia with his 22nd major tournament after defeating Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets.

Is he the GOAT? Is it time to stop using the word GOAT?

Is it time to legalise cannabis?

Lucy and James discuss the Nazi uniform saga that engulfed NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet last week.

The Nazi uniform saga that engulfed NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet last week has led to a string of questions.

Should he be held accountable for something that happened almost 20 years ago? Should he resign? Why did he admit it right before a state election?

Lucy and James discuss all that and more, in this week's edition of Flash Drive.
