In this episode, Paige Estritori discusses RACQ Insurance's concern that 78% of renters, particularly ages 18-34, in Queensland are risking their financial stability because they lack contents insurance. Many renters undervalue their belongings, see insurance as an unnecessary expense, or are unaware of insurance options. The aim is to increase awareness to prevent financial loss due to natural disasters.

Meanwhile, despite scrutiny facing CFMEU, superannuation fund Cbus continues to grow, showing the effectiveness of diverse union and specialist influences.
