The Green Party's announced a jobs guarantee programme for young people who've been out of work for 6 months, with unemployment at an 11-year high, and three times worse for younger people.

The party says the country's infrastructure and nature need maintenance and care, but community services are short of the people needed - so they plan to give those roles to younger people.

The policy aims to bring work to 32,000 young people, by scaling up funding for all councils.

Australian data-centre developer - Firmus - have stalled in securing funds for more build-outs, with investors unsure of the pricepoint, and how much of the growth depends on earnings that are yet to arrive.

So has the value of AI had its reality check? Investors have happily funded AI chips, AI software and AI infrastructure for years, but are public markets finally pushing back on valuations?

Given the money that's closely tied to AI and its promises to improve everyday life, are we walking into a bubble that's bound to pop, or running late on the AI boom?

Sleeping's something we value more and more as we get older, but when we stay out at night, only getting a few hours of bed-time, how much damage are we doing?

It becomes a tougher issue for some with doing unusual work hours, children keeping them up, or health conditions.

So what can we do get the best rest for our body? How important is good sleep?

The National Party's announced that, if re-elected, they will make it a criminal offence to withhold information from Police when a child aged 12 or under has been killed and adults were present.

National's Justice Spokesperson Paul Goldsmith says the change is aimed at cases where people refuse to speak to police, preventing those responsible from being brought to justice.

The proposed offence would carry a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison, but it also raises a question about how our right to silence can be tossed, and the risk of unintended consequences.

Chief Victims Advisor Ruth Money joins Tim Beveridge to discuss what this proposal means...
