A new study from Macquarie University shows that 10% of shark meat sold in Australian fish shops and markets are in fact, endangered species.  The study used DNA testing to sample 91 fillets of shark and found 57 (80%) were mislabelled. Nine were from three endangered species in Australian waters, and 43 of the 47 samples labelled flake (91%) were the endangered scalloped hammerhead, greeneye purdog, and school shark.  The study also found that mislabelling was much higher in takeaway shops (68%) than in fish markets (47%).  Clinton is joined by ACMS Shark Expert, Dr Leonardo Guida, who says, “Australians would be appalled to know that our governments are allowing endangered species to be caught and sold for Aussies to eat, and that we’re not buying what’s written on the label.”  “This level of mislabelling highlights not only failures in Australia’s labelling laws, but failures in fishing rules, that continue to permit the harvest of endangered species.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Clinton and Barry Urquhart, the Managing Director of Marketing Focus, discuss the unique generational effects of over-protection in the real world and under-protection in the virtual world, citing an American psychologist's research. Barry highlights the complex challenges for parents, marketers, and employers. Contemporary children are often overly protected in the real world, limiting social skills and risk-taking, while having unrestricted access to risks and unsupervised influences in the virtual world.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Men have long been known to avoid visiting the doctor at all costs, but delaying a check-up or ignoring potential health concerns can lead to much graver issues down the road. Unfortunately, embarrassment often prevents men from seeking the help they need. Clinton is joined by Joanna Sharp, Medical Director at Mosh (www.getmosh.com.au), who advocates for men to overcome their embarrassment and reach out for help.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Clinton speaks with Drive.com's Trent Nikolic about NSW's plan to install hundreds of kerbside electric vehicle charging points, part of a multimillion-dollar initiative to enhance consumer confidence and uptake. Climate Change and Energy Minister Penny Sharpe revealed the first recipients of EV kerbside charging grants, announcing 671 charge ports across 16 local government areas.
