The New ‘Mummy Wine Time’ & CDs Are Sooo...

Cocaine use is rising in suburban Australia, and one story about “cocaine mums” went absolutely bananas this week. Is this mummy wine culture 2.0? 

Meanwhile, CDs are back and suddenly a Discman with wired headphones is cool again. But maybe The Great Unplugging isn’t really about nostalgia. Maybe parents are just desperate for a device that doesn’t have an algorithm attached to it.

Plus, the Aussie dad who gave his kids an almighty dressing-down over the pool fence, Kim Kardashian's four nanny system, and Ben Affleck's existential crisis on a podcast. 

Reccos:

Stacey recommends 70 Up on SBS On Demand

Amelia recommends this merino wool sauna hat to look cute while sweating

AA, AAA, C's, LR44, CR2032, A precision screwdriver set ... and tiny scissors.
