About this episode
Australian tradies and apprentices are being targeted by social media influencers claiming to hold the secrets to financial freedom.
In this hack investigation, we find out what happens when people sign up with one of the big agencies promoting these videos: ABC Academy, also called ABC Sales Agency.
Is it legit, or are people being ripped off?
Plus we unpack One Nation's victory in the Farrer by-election which delivered the party its first ever lower house seat in federal parliament.
