Can't you just, work more hours?

Feeling the cost of living crunch from rising rates, rent and everything else? RBA Governor Philip Lowe has the answer: just work more hours and spend less! Why didn't we think of that already? Also this week, we celebrate some of the women behind Kathleen Folbigg's release, and what they show about long-term friendship and the power of science. We ask if extending school hours to 6pm is the answer to all our flexibility problems. And the rollout of free period products in ACT, and the FinTech founded and led by women proving that startups can also offer generous paid parental leave.
