Tense words were exchanged in a phone call between Trump and Netanyahu last week, and in an interview yesterday, Trump insisted that he 'calls the shots', not Netanyahu. So, is the US/Israel relationship souring? Plus, a campaign criticising the Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan has been travelling around Melbourne, and nearly all sides of politics are calling it out — because the phrase 'Ditch the Witch' is all over it. The mobile billboard is emblazoned with images of Jacinta Allen wearing a witch's hat. The Premier herself called it an "attack" on women. So, who's behind it? And, the Football World Cup is one of the biggest sporting events on the planet, but it's not without controversy. From ticket prices, to visa issues, not to mention three countries that are famously not getting along right now are co-hosting it, this year's event is messy.

There's nothing quite like a haircut to make you feel good. You can reinvent yourself in the chair or maybe just sharpen up your current look. And, you get to have a bit of a chat. But are people opening up a little too much in the salon? Because research shows people are using hairdressers as pseudo psychologists - opening up about everything from mental health to relationship troubles and even domestic violence. So what sort of impact is all of this having on salon workers? In this week's hack deep dive, you hear from current and former hairdressers about how client disclosures impact them and the joy of cutting hair.  Plus you'll hear why some experts believe hairdressers need mental health training as part of their apprenticeship.

Australia now has 178 billionaires, up 17 from last year. Their combined wealth? $686 billion.

When you think about the Stolen Generations you might think it is ancient history.  A chapter of Australia's past where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children were forcibly removed from their families by the government and the Church. But First Nations children were still being removed from homes as recently as 1970 and for survivors, and their descendants, the trauma is something they live with every day. On Tuesday, Sorry Day, the government announced an additional $2.6 million in funding for organisations supporting the Stolen Generations. But survivors, and their descendants, say it's time for more action, and have called for the government to implement all the recommendations of the Bringing Them Home Report. The report was released in 1997 and made 83 recommendations designed to support healing, justice and reconciliation - nearly 30 years on the Healing Foundation says only 6 per cent have been fully implemented. In this week's long listen Worimi woman Ellen Karimanovic tells Dave what it was like to reconnect with family, why it's time for action not apologies, and why she's still hopeful for the future. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers are advised this podcast references an Indigenous person who has died.

Dee Salmin knows exactly who she is -- a confident, sex positive woman surrounded by love. But like many others, Dee always felt pressure to hook up, get a boyfriend, and ignore her own passions to maintain a "cool girl" persona.

In this week's long listen, Dee opens up to Dave about the experiences that shaped her, the abuse it took her years to recognise, and how she learned to love and live authentically.

Young Australians are struggling to justify how much it's costing them to fill up the tank.  Around the country, fuel prices have risen above $3 a litre, with some servos running out of both petrol and diesel.  The government's main response so far has been to halve the tax that's put on every litre of fuel, and to encourage people to take the bus or the train where they can.  So will this work?  Because right now, drivers are still paying way more than they were before the conflict in the Middle East started.  On the deep dive this week, we hear your stories of the fuel crisis, and chat to the Shadow Treasurer Tim Wilson about what the Coalition would be doing differently.  We also ask him about the Coalition's policy on the mounting calls for a profits tax on Australia's gas exports.  Guests:  Tim Wilson, Shadow Treasurer  Get the whole story from hack: Follow us on Instagram and TikTok Subscribe to the hack podcast Listen on the triple j app or on your radio live every weeknight at 5:30pm

The minimum amount of holidays for a full-time worker in Australia is four weeks a year. But is that enough?  Unions are pushing for workers to get one whole week extra, in what they reckon would be the first substantial increase to the minimum standards since the mid 70s.  Part of the argument for younger workers is that the change is especially important because they're already doing several weeks' worth of unpaid overtime every year.  Not everyone backs it though: some small businesses reckon they simply can't afford it.  In the deep dive today, we unpack the proposal for an extra week of holidays, and hear from an expert who reckons Aussies aren't even using the leave we're already getting.  Guests:  Dr Libby Sander, Associate Professor, Bond University Get the whole story from hack: Follow us on Instagram and TikTok Subscribe to the hack podcast Listen on the triple j app or on your radio live every weeknight at 5:30pm

Have you clocked people talking about the capital gains tax discount this week?
