Australia's Welfare System: The Problem With "Mutual Obligations" And Outsourcing Services; Jacinta Parsons On Women, Ageing And The Forever Self; UK Politics With Andrew Walter
Luke Henriques-Gomes, Guardian Australia's social affairs and inequality editor, speaks about his latest investigative reporting on the welfare system, especially the job services providers who profit from Australia's "mutual obligations" system. ABC radio host and former Triple R broadcaster Jacinta Parsons joins Amy for an in-depth discussion about her new book, A Question of Age: Women, ageing and the forever self. Jacinta asks, how do we adjust our perceptions of getting older? What does it mean to age as a woman? And what is our currency now? Jacinta's previous book is called, Unseen: The secret life of chronic illness. Andrew Walter, Professor of International Relations at the University of Melbourne, stops by to chat about the latest in UK politics, after the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
