Program: Jobs for mates, abuse in the ADF, green vinyl + can Oscar Piastri still win?

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume.

Getting a mate a job is great for the mate, obviously. But what if the mate isn't the best candidate, and the job is on a government board that pays $300k? A report into nepotism in Australia was finally released today, and its findings are scathing.

Plus, Australia is getting an inquiry into sexual assaults in the defence force. We speak with victim-survivors.

Also, what can artists do to make music greener? We head to a vinyl factory in Melbourne that's going green. 

And could Aussie F1 driver Oscar Piastri still win the world title in Abu Dhabi? There's still a pathway.
