Listen "Youth Allowance slump, childcare worker charged + farming without family"
Episode Synopsis
Student unions reckon it's getting harder for low-income and country kids to go to uni. So why are fewer and fewer students taking up Youth Allowance? Plus, 1,200 children will be asked to undergo health screening after police charged a childcare worker with more than 70 offences, including sexual assault. And we head to a dairy in Victoria to find out if a special kind of gap year can fix a big problem: farmers are getting old.
