Flag debate, microshifting and the great pie divide
About this episode
The episode discusses the call to remove the Union Jack from the Australian flag, the trend of microshifting in workplaces, and Australians' differing methods of eating meat pies.
The Australian Manufacturers Workers Union has called on the Federal Government to remove the Union Jack from the Australian flag, citing it as a symbol of oppression and colonialism. The discussion also covers microshifting, a new workplace trend allowing employees to spread an eight-hour shift around non-work activities, and new research revealing Australians are divided on how they eat meat pies, with half eating them by hand, 40 per cent using cutlery, and 15 per cent lifting the lid to add sauce inside.
