Hospo hell, freezing prisoners' eggs + CGT change under scrutiny

from Hack · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

Hazing, constant pressure and abusive customers — this can be the norm for hospitality workers, from chefs and wait staff to baristas. We hear what it's like working in kitchens, restaurants and cafes around the country, and what it will take to change the work culture. And economists, businesses and politicians are revealing what they really think of Labor's controversial proposal to overhaul negative gearing and capital gains tax at a parliamentary inquiry. Plus, should female prisoners be able to freeze their eggs so they can have a child when they're released? We unpack the reproductive rights of inmates after a Queensland woman was denied egg freezing. Listen now: 01:08 - Abuse in the hospitality industry17:36 - CGT debate22:29 - The ethics and rights of freezing eggs as a prisonerGuests:Tim Kennedy, national secretary, United Workers UnionDarielle Bown, founder, The Wanderlust AgeJulian Koplin, lecturer in bioethics, Monash UniversityGet the whole story from hack:Follow us on Instagram and TikTokSubscribe to the hack podcastListen on the triple j app or on your radio live every weeknight at 5:30pm
