Show notes

David Jones is closing 19 stores, so what does that mean for those who rely on the retail giant for work? We chat with Chloe to find out what it's like as a young business owner stocked by DJs.

Plus an inquest into a double murder-suicide that shocked the country has heard some devastating evidence this week. We fill you in...

And if you could pay off your HECS-HELP debt by doing regional work in your summer break, would you give it a go?
