About this episode
The first week of summer has already seen deadly bushfires raging from WA to Tassie and NSW. So what's it going to take to get more young volunteers to sign up to spending their summer fighting fires?
And a WA coroner examining the death of Cleveland Dodd in a notorious youth detention facility has handed down his findings, recommending Perth's Unit 18 be closed 'as a matter of urgency'.
Plus, it happened: former deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce has officially joined One Nation. How will he get on with Pauline Hanson?
We're also talking about the health risks of vaping after Fraser Olender says it brought on a heart attack.
