Placement poverty, Herzog here + Bad Bunny's halftime show

Hack

About this episode

Should more students be paid for their compulsory course placements? The government says "placement poverty" is a real issue. So why do a bunch of students in courses from medicine and pharmacy to psychology and occupational therapy miss out?

And Israeli President Isaac Herzog spent his first full day in Australia, meeting with members of Sydney’s Jewish community in Bondi in the wake of the December terrorist attack. 

Plus, Bad Bunny celebrated his Latino heritage with his halftime show at the Super Bowl. We unpack the significance of his performance, and his meteoric rise in the charts.
