Brace yourselves: if you think stuff is expensive right now, it's going to get even worse by Christmas. The Treasurer has delivered some grim news about the outlook of Australia's economy, and predicted that inflation will peak in early December. So, what does that mean for your wallet if you're already struggling? Plus, you're probably recycling wrong.

But for Ukrainians hoping to make it to Australia, a deadline is fast approaching: the Australian government's humanitarian visa program for Ukrainians will expire on Sunday. So, what does it mean for Ukrainians who might miss out? Plus, lots of people are hating changes to Instagram.

Cancelled headline acts, campers turned away, all-night bus lines and SO MUCH MUD. The first Splendour in the Grass back after two years of COVID was absolute chaos. We heard of staff shortages on the day, and extended capacities, and there was that crazy and unavoidable weather, but what really happened? We speak to one of the organisers.  Plus, psychedelics are still illegal in Australia, but people around the country are being drawn to the hope and hype that they can help treat a range of mental health illnesses, and are giving the drugs a shot. And some scientists say there’s heaps more work to do before these powerful drugs can be available to the masses.  And, why are there so few queer clubs in Australia, particularly in regional areas? In Tassie, there are none, after the one standing gay club closed down during COVID.   Live guests:  Jessica Ducrou, Co-CEO, Secret Sounds  Elise Worthington, journalist, Four Corners  Adele (delsi cat) Moleta, Queer inclusion specialist and owner of the LGBTQIA+ organisation, Unicorns

Did your period change after you got the vaccine? Or was it the bout of COVID? Finally, there's some science on this – we talk directly to one of the researchers, and it turns out, it's happened in the past, too. Imagine having to save up to buy water. While it can be easy to take fresh water for granted when it's so readily available through much of Australia, that's not the case in many parts of the country. In some regions the taps run dry or the water source isn't clean. Some new research is paints a pretty concerning picture about how many Australians don’t have access to good drinking water.   And, after closed boarders and isolation, festivals are back! And so is the joy of singing along with masses of people. We find out why it feels so damn good to yell a tune with strangers. Live guests: Siouxsie Wiles, Bioluminescent Superbugs Lab, The University of Auckland  Astrid Jorgensen, Pub Choir 

Europe is experiencing wild heatwaves and crazy weather right now, and temperature records are tumbling. France, Spain, Greece and Portugal have had been ravaged by forest fires, British authorities sent out a severe weather warning for the first time ever in summer (usually sent out just in winter), and the heat has caused hundreds of deaths already.  Also, Australia's election saw a change of government, a 'greenslide' and a lot of new independents. Labor took a 43 percent climate target to the election which will soon be debated, but it needs to get voted through the senate, which now hosts more Green Senators than ever before. Will they vote it through?  And, there’s some alarming news coming out from Tasmania that young people in detention are being kept in lockdown for up to 23 hours a day, for weeks on end.  Live guests;  - Adam Bandt, Greens Leader  - Dr Ailie Gallant, Monash University  - Greg Barnes, Chair of the Tasmanian Prisoners Legal Service

We've been hearing (and talking) about pill testing for ages. But today, the first pill testing clinic finally opened in Canberra, in a pilot program. We sent reporter Claudia Long down to find out how it works and what to expect, and it's actually doing way more than just running tests on drugs.   Plus, today a massive report was released to the public which laid out the state of the environment, and honey, it's not good. We take you through all the findings, from disappearing species to warmer temperatures. The Labor government has put the blame squarely on the former Coalition government but says it will start taking immediate action.  Live guests:  Bridget Hayes, DanceWize and Harm Reduction Australia   Tanya Plibersek, Minister for Environment  David Pocock, Independent Senator 

Imagine if someone was going through your phone, looking at your calendar, your contacts, your location, photos and more, without you even realising — because that's what TikTok is doing. A new report says TikTok's data harvesting abilities are even more expansive than previously realised. Speaking of TikTok, how do we stop procrastinating? Because all these distractions make getting stuff done super difficult, with more and more distractions popping up. We get some hard tips on getting sh*t done. Plus, even though Australia has about half a per cent of the world's population, we have about 20 per cent of the world's pokies. And the spread of poker machines is particularly high in regional areas, so it's no surprise that gambling issues are pretty bad — Victorians alone have lost $66 billion in 30 years. Live guests: Dr Marisa Paterson, former director of the Centre for Gambling Research at ANU Ben Kenyon, Internet 2.0 Megan Pozzi, Queensland University of Technology

It's the Shakeup and we're talking… The backlash to a "random act of kindness" on TikTok, the decline of nightclubs, and why tech experts say passwords should be a thing of the past. Join Hack’s Dave Marchese with Junkee's Issy Phillips and The Daily Aus's Sam Koslowski.

What's it like to feel confused about your gender when you're growing up? Australian artist G Flip, who is non-binary, has written a powerful and raw new single all about it.

Plus, more young women than ever are identifying as bisexual. What's behind the rise in recent years, and what stigmas still remain about being bi in 2022? And a drug that can save three lives in a day by reversing overdoses will now be free in pharmacies. We learn more about how Naloxone works, and what impact it could have in Australia. Live guests: G Flip, musician Associate Professor Suzanne Nielsen, Deputy Director of the Monash Addiction Research Centre

Now, the ACT is introducing world-leading legislation to ensure it stops happening.  Plus, are you under 18 with a ticket to Splendour? Prepare to ask a big kid to come along with you, because new licensing requirements mean you’ll need someone over 25 to get in. We speak to a festival organiser to find out what’s up.  Also, we got a whole new view into space this morning, and it’s a very big deal. An image from an EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE telescope has granted us a little look-see to the edge of the universe (kind of) and please excuse me while my brain explodes.   Live guests;  Morgan Carpenter, Intersex Human Rights Australia  Jess Ducrou, Festival in the Grass  Dr Vanessa Moss, CSIRO astronomer  Vishal Prassad, activist 

More than 100 clubs have closed down around Australia in the last couple of years.  With lockdowns and lockouts, health kicks and Tinder, people have been hitting clubs way less, particularly in Sydney. So is clubbing a thing of the past?  Plus, have you seen the historic photos of protesters taking over the Sri Lankan Presidential Palace? It's a massive moment for the country. We talk to former Hack host Avani Dias about what's going on, and what's led to this.  And, Monekypox is not going away. The number of cases is slowly rising in Australia, and it's got some experts pretty worried.  Live guest:  Mick Gibb, The Night Time Industries Association  Avani Dias, ABC South Asia correspondent  Dr Brad McKay

Yeah, we're so happy for them...  Join Joanna Lauder with comedian Rhys Nicholson and journalist Matilda Boseley. 

There's been a lot of talk about abortion laws in the US recently. But we've actually had some pretty major changes here in Australia. South Australia has become the last jurisdiction to decriminalise abortion, meaning it will finally be more accessible, and people with unwanted pregnancies won't have to fit through tricky legal loopholes.  Plus, just this week we've seen the impact of climate change on our country – floods taking over towns that have already been flooded two or three times. Ages ago, the Abbott Government scrapped modelling that would assess the future impact of climate change on our economy. But now, Labor's bringing it back. So how bad will the news be?  And, federal politics has been behind the times when it comes to reflecting the community. But that's about to change. It's going to be more diverse than ever and includes the biggest group of First Nations MPs Canberra has ever seen. Allow us to introduce you to some of them.  Live guests: Daile Kelleher, Children By Choice  Polly Hemming, The Australia Institute 

Thirty bucks for watermelon, $12 for lettuce, this is food insecurity at play. But your rent might be going up too. And somehow rental vacancies are going down as well. We have a big cost of living theme on the show today. We're digging into why food is getting so pricey, why it could get even worse, and where it’s particularly bad. Then we're going to look into some new rental data that shows there are almost no options for some renters.  Plus, are we about to get COVID again? Because we're being warned by some experts that it's about to get bad (again). And we're really not ready, tbh. Live guests; Dr Rebecca Lindeberg, Deakin University  Dr Nicola Powell, Chief of Research, Domain  Fiona Vesper, Indigenous artist Dr Nick Coatsworth, Deputy Chief Medical Officer for COVID-19 response  

It's big, it's dramatic and it's points-based. Major changes have been introduced to Centrelink and some people think they're too confusing. Five points for this, ten points for that, but what if you make a mistake and suddenly lose your payments?  And, a program called Emma's Project empowers kids with the language to articulate sexual assault if it's something they experience.  Live guests:  Tony Burke, Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations  Nunami Sculthorpe-Green, Blak Led Tours Tasmania  Joe Tucci, chief executive, Australian Childhood Foundation 

How committed would you be to living longer? Would you change your diet to get another 20 years? Some findings published in the journal Cell detail that a specific balance of whole foods, fasting, staying within a specific BMI, and limiting meat intake can combine for a much longer life. But can you really BF?  And, it's NAIDOC week! We'll be profiling a whole bunch of incredible people. Today, that's artist Dylan Mooney who illustrates First Nations' identity and queer love. Plus, cultural fishing has been passed down through generations of First Nations people, yet some on the NSW south coast are being harassed by fisheries.   Also, Sydney is being pounded by rain and many of the suburbs you've heard of being flooded before are under water again.   Live guests:  Anna Debenham, nutritionist  Dylan Mooney, artist Sally Thompson, UWA
