The Jacinda Ardern interview on Monday's episode of the project was bizarrely backed, the entire time, by "uplifting, heartfelt" music. It distracted from the content of the interview, and made it feel like it was artificially trying to compel emotion in a cheap and ugly way.
The idea of adding corny "emotional music" to an interview, especially one about such a huge tragedy, strikes me as inherently sinister and weird. Did anyone else find themselves annoyed or distracted by this?

Should you mention previous claims when applying for a new job?
I understand that you would need to if the job you're applying for can cause the same injury (back problems, then aplying for a job that involves lifting), but should you do the same if applying in a new industry?
Why/why not? And also, is it true that its against the law to be asked in interviews, and if its a section on the employment contract and you say no (other than getting fired down the line) what can happen?

The Daily Telegraph currently has a subscriber only article regarding John Ibrahim's lawyers being refused access to information regarding the accusations against him.
As it is subscriber only, I will not be posting it here - but it does spark an interesting question.
How far should we trust our police to act in secrecy?
For context:
John Ibrahim is a "Kings Cross Identity", or as most people think of him, a(n accused) criminal.
Last year, the police raided his house and despite finding $65000 of inexplicable cash, they found no guns.
They promptly hit him with a "Firearms Prohibition Order", which makes sense, you want to block suspected criminals from accessing guns right?
Except as a non licenced individual, John could never legally own firearms anyway and as a suspected criminal, he could never get a licence.
So what does a "Firearms Prohibition Order" ACTUALLY DO?
Well it gives the police the right to search a named individual and the location they are in, without a warrant, at any time, for the duration of the order.
