Description
(Aired 29/10/22) - This week on Backchat, we kick things off with a look at the slimy world of sports sponsorship in Australia, following the Australian Netball team’s sensational rejection of a lucrative sponsorship deal with Gina Reinhart’s Hancock Prospecting. Next, we're going behind the scenes into the push to revive Chinatown after several years of neglect. Andrea Plawutsky from Haymarket HQ will be on to run us through the plan to breathe new life into the area. Finally, Labor delivered its first budget in over a decade earlier in the week - so what should young people make of it? We’re joined by independent economist and councilor for the Climate Council, Nicki Hutley to break down some key areas of the budget and what it’ll mean for young people moving forward.   This episode of Backchat was produced by Sana Shaikh, Jostina Basta and Eamonn Snow.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
