Cheap power, partner income tests + not taking breaks at work

Hack

About this episode

The coalition is arguing about whether to drop its net zero commitment, as the CSIRO releases a report on the cheapest way of generating electricity. Spoiler: renewables did well. 

Plus, ever heard of the partner income test? Some people who rely on the DSP reckon it's outdated, and is putting people living with disability at risk. 

And do you skip your breaks at work? It could be impacting your health.
