## Resource

Prisoners would be put to work fixing Victoria's roads if Labor is re-elected. A good idea, or exploitation? And we unpack why young Australians are turning away from ambition and instead embracing 'career minimalism'. Plus, people are speaking less each year according to a new study. Are we losing the art of conversation? Host Dave Marchese is joined by performer Etcetera Etcetera and podcaster Charli Anderson.
