  • Children's apps using deceptive tricks to drive spending

    Children's apps using deceptive tricks to drive spending
    Apr 15 2026
    A new study reveals that 75% of Australia's most popular children's apps contain deceptive features designed to manipulate kids into spending money. Apps like Pet Doctor use emotional tactics, such as showing distressed characters that can only be helped through in-app purchases, exploiting children's vulnerability and inability to distinguish between gameplay and advertisements. Child psychologists recommend parents enable password protection for all purchases and actively play these games with their children to understand the manipulative tactics, particularly for the most vulnerable age group of 5-8 year olds who lack the developmental skills for impulse control and critical thinking about digital advertising.

    Katy Perry under investigation over Ruby Rose allegations
    Apr 15 2026
    Pop star Katy Perry is under investigation by Victoria Police following sexual assault allegations made by Australian actress Ruby Rose, who claims an incident occurred at a Melbourne nightclub 16 years ago. Perry's legal team has denied the allegations, calling them dangerous and reckless lies. Criminal lawyers suggest the 16-year delay may make prosecution unlikely due to lost evidence including CCTV footage and unreliable witness accounts, while Perry may have grounds to pursue defamation action.

    Apr 15 2026
    The United States has deployed 10,000 additional troops to the Middle East, bringing total military personnel connected to the Iran conflict to over 50,000. An American destroyer intercepted an Iranian ship attempting to evade a newly announced U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports. Nuclear weapons remain a central sticking point in negotiations, with Iran's leadership refusing to surrender enriched uranium or discuss their proxy network activities in the region, despite ongoing military and economic pressure from Washington.

    Trump criticises Australia over Iran conflict support

The panellists debate whether Australia's measured approach of making decisions based on national interests whilst maintaining alliance commitments is the correct strategy.
