About this episode
Been at a festival lately? You might have spotted more people using walking sticks.
But it's not a traditional accessibility aid.
So is it Australia's growing ketamine obsession that's fuelling the trend?
In the hack deep dive this week, we're unpacking the "ket stick" thing.
We speak with young Aussies who are on the walking stick bandwagon, and chat with a disability advocate who's worried the prop could de-legitimise the needs of the community.
