What epilepsy actually looks like

Sat, 14 Mar 2026 18:00:00 +0000

March is Epilepsy Awareness Month. Epilepsy affects around 250,000 Australians. Chances are, someone in your life has it. And yet, for many of us, our only real reference point for epilepsy is probably a dramatic seizure scene from a TV show - which, as we'll hear today, isn't exactly accurate.

Today I'm sitting down with Carol Ireland, CEO at Epilepsy Action Australia, to answer the questions that people genuinely have about epilepsy but maybe haven't known how to ask. From what a seizure actually looks like, to how you support a mate who has it, to what it means to live with a condition that most people can't see.

Why Coles is in court over its 'discounts'

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 18:00:00 +0000

For two years, a pack of Strepsils cost $5.50 at Coles. Then suddenly, it was $7. Then just as suddenly, it was on sale for $6 with a big "Down Down" discount tag. The ACCC examined that sequence of events and is now alleging that Coles is not offering discounts, but rather engaging in deceptive conduct in relation to a group of at least 245 items. Yesterday, the consumer watchdog began its case against Coles in Australia’s Federal Court, and on today’s pod, we're going to take a closer look at the hearing that could reshape supermarket pricing in Australia.
