THE SHAKEUP: The cost of being single, what next for Christa Pike + AI election ads

Christa Pike is alive, talking, and reportedly ‘angry’, after surviving a botched execution. So what happens now?   And, a One Nation electoral ad has gone viral this week – but not only for its content. It’s raised the question, should AI be allowed in political ads?  Plus, is the ‘singles tax’ real? Apparently, it’s costing people thousands of dollars a year... 

Also, would you cheat... in a marathon? A fitness influencer’s been caught hitching a ride mid-race.  Host, Dave Marchese, is joined by Daily Aus Editor-in-Chief , Billi FitzSimons, and comedian, Billy D’Arcy.
