This week on the Hoot, we ask the hard questions about who has the right to exercise control. Can we limit social media, even when it's harmful? Is it OK to work on Anzac Day? And in a big transition, a founding owl flies the nest. It's the news you need from Ngunnawal country, with a light touch.

S3 E15: Anzac Day, gnarly ethics - and an owl's farewell

This week on The Hoot, David Murtagh is joined by Assembly reporter Claire Fenwicke to discuss the growing debt in the ACT (are we that far off being Victoria?), the myriad failures in public housing, and one of the reasons the Barr Government is so keen on light rail is that we are projected to have a population of 780,000 in 2060. A question for you: is this what we want in Canberra? And if so, can we still be the 'Bush Capital'?

This week on The Hoot, David Murtagh is joined by Assembly reporter Claire Fenwicke to discuss the latest efforts to improve system responses to sexual crime, the growing daylight between the Greens and Labor on transport policy, and bike riders. Why do cyclists make Canberrans so very, very angry?

S3 E16: Improving legal responses to sexual violence, (yet) another transport election and bike wars

On the Hoot this week, David and Genevieve solve some mysteries (or at least ask a few tough questions). Should we ban lobbyists? Where are the government's electric buses? And has Canberra ever been cool? It's all the news you need from Ngunnawal country, with a light touch.
