Every March, as International Women's Day rolls around, the push for gender equality feels caught between genuine advocacy and corporate slogans.

As the fight for equal pay and safety continues, we’re looking at why the traditional way of marking International Women's Day can feel increasingly out of touch.

We’re joined by comedian Steph Tisdell and broadcaster Yumi Stynes to discuss why roasting feminism might be the only way to save it, and how laughing at the patriarchy cuts through the fatigue of 2026.

And in headlines today, Aussies warned not to 'panic cancel' travel amid Middle East crisis as the government sends Air Force planes to repatriate stranded citizens; Donald Trump has demanded he be given a role in deciding the next leader of Iran; New laws in Queensland outlaw anti semitic phrases with the max punishment 2 years in jail; Britney Spears has been arrested for DUI in California; The Matildas swapped jerseys with their Iranian opponents after the Aussies won 4-0 in their Asian Cup clash on the Gold Coast; Ben Tudhope and Georgia Gunew will carry the Australian flag at tonight’s opening Winter Paralympics ceremony
