Would you like to see a treaty between First Nations people and the British Crown? Let us know in the comments. The conversation was re-ignited, during Youth Jam's Newsflash radio show, after it was revealed that controversial legislation in New Zealand, that would re-interpret the Treaty of Waitangi - the founding document between Māori chiefs and the British Crown -, wouldn't become law. NZ Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said the law wouldn't become law. "My message … to the hīkoi in general, is that our longstanding position, as I've said from day one, is we don't support the bill and it won't be becoming law," he said. Youth Jam's Isaac Mulcrone has signalled his support for a treaty, highlighting that it wouldn't impact "you and me". "Me, personally, all for it. I'm all for a treaty between the traditional owners of this land and the British crown. I just think if we can make people's lives better, those people being First Nations people, then why wouldn't we do it? Because, funnily enough, it wouldn't impact you and me. It would just impact the First Nations people of this country," Isaac told listeners.

Perth singer/songwriter, Sam McGovern has been given the "best Monday ever" by Dean Lewis - the Aussie hitmaker behind 'Waves' and 'Be Alright' - after receiving a surprise FaceTime call. McGovern, who appeared on The Voice in 2022, has been campaigning to open for Dean Lewis with his plea amassing more than 500 likes on Instagram. Fast-forward a month and McGovern received a call confirming he was "in". Mr McGovern phoned into Youth Jam's Drive show and told Isaac Mulcrone that he "saw the opportunity" and went for it. "I just saw the opportunity. I think that's the best thing you can do. Jump on it straight away. I did everything, it wasn't as much on socials, of course I posted a video about it, but I went into the office of the event organiser, they didn't even have a reception, I emailed every single person that was attached to the show. I worked so hard and it paid off," he told listeners. He went on to add that "it's really exciting" and says he'll be playing his new track 'Before I Fall'.

Youth Jam's Isaac Mulcrone has accused the Coalition of "hypocrisy" over its pledge to help the Labor Government pass its proposed social media ban through Parliament swiftly. Federal Opposition Leader, Peter Dutton, has written to the Prime Minister to offer his party's support for the ban - which has been slammed by numerous youth advocates. "Our strong view is that legislation should not only be introduced this year but it should become law. I hope to work together to pass a robust law for social media age verification this year. This issue is of totemic significance in our community and it is time that a strong law is put in place to protect Australian children," Mr Dutton reportedly wrote. The letter, seen by Seven West Media, is a pledge - by Dutton - to “protect Australian children". But Isaac Mulcrone, from YJ's Newsflash radio show, has questioned how the Coalition can provide unequivoal support without seeing the legislation. "Don't forget the Coalition, when the Voice to Parliament referendum was put to you and me, they said 'there's not enough details in this to vote yes'. Yet they have decided to blindly support this piece of legislation, to go 'yep, we will support the Government in passing this legislation that is yet to be seen by the public and by the Parliament'," he told listeners. He went on to slam the Liberals and Nationals, claiming he is "blown away" by the "hypocritical" decision. "If you're going to tow that line, you've got to be transparent and you've got to continue with that line across multiple forms of legislation and bills that are put to the Parliament. You can't be selective and nitpick the ones that you like," he went on to say.

One of Youth Jam’s American listeners called into Newsflash - on Thursday afternoon - and tearfully told Isaac Mulcrone how fearful they are of a Trump presidency. As previously reported, Donald Trump has been elected as the United States' 47th President - beating Democrats' candidate Kamala Harris. Maxx - a listener from Chiacgo - told Isaac that they're worried about a woman's right to choose and how that'll be potentially impacted by President-elect Trump. "It really hits a nerve, because I know a lot of people who have been... Sorry, this is really emotional... There are people in my life that have been in certain circumstances and I was really lucky they had the help and care they needed. When my friends have fallen sick or had a miscarriage, they got to choose and we didn't have to ask them 'why are they asking for a man in the room', the woman gets to decide (sic)," Maxx told listeners. They are worried that Mr Trump's potential policies is "one step worse" than current protocols. "It's like our safety is gone," they concluded.

Two of the country's highest-paid OnlyFans models claim to be hitting Schoolies events, in the Gold Coast, with the aim of “pleasuring some barely legal 18-year-olds”. A pair of models - Annie Knight Bonnie Blue - took to social media to announce the news, which has left Youth Jam's Isaac Mulcrone "speechless". “Bonnie Blue and I are going to be pleasuring some barely legal 18-year-olds and we are so excited. Meet us there, we can’t wait," Ms Knight said in the video. The pair have insisted Year 12 graduates will need to provide multiple forms of identification to verify their consent. “I feel like, they are 18 years old, they would have that ability, it’s not something people just dive into. They are of legal age, they have brains, anyone who says otherwise is underestimating them," Ms Knight said. But the stunt has angered Isaac Mulcrone, who has lashed out at the models. "Every year this seems to, for some reason, happen and every year the community gets their arms up in a flap because everyone is so annoyed by it and rightfully so. But for some reason nothing happens," Isaac said. "Is it just me or does that make you speechless? What the hell is wrong with them? I can't tell you how mad that makes me," he went on to say. #youthjam

BREAKING: The State Government's new nang ban has come into force today, banning the sale of nitrous oxide cannisters - with exemptions for registered food and beverage businesses. The laws, known as 'Molly's Law' by some Youth Jam listeners - after Molly Day, a Perth young person who was hospitalised for months after much of the function to her body was cut, leaving her unable to walk normally without a brace, due to a crippling nang addiction -, will be enforced by the Department of Health with on-the-spot penalties potentially reaching $6,000 for retailers who don't comply. In light of the laws, the Government has launched a campaign blitz - on social media - to educate young people about the negative impacts nangs can have. “Nang misuse is dangerous, and the Cook Government is committed to reducing the toll it is taking on members of our community. Retailers face penalties of up to $30,000 and new on-the-spot fines have been introduced to ensure anyone caught flouting these laws faces the appropriate consequences. We want to protect children and young people from the dangers of nangs, which can cause permanent brain and spinal cord damage," Minister Sanderson said. #youthjam

Tyler Rowe's life was turned upside down on July 13 when the car he was a passenger in - alongside Josh Jackson, Nick Campo, another unnamed individual and the 17-year-old driver - crashed, rolled and collided with an SUV on Farrington Road. The crash would cost Nick his life and severely injure Tyler and Josh - with Rowe's brain injury still impacting his day-to-day life. Tyler's life is "not a good life to live right now", he told Isaac on Youth Jam's Newsflash radio show. "Life's definitely harder than... I can't do a lot of stuff that I used to. If you like playing contact sports, like I did, you can throw that out the window. It's not a good life to live right now," the 18-year-old told listeners. His advice to reckless drivers is to "re-think what you're about to do, otherwise you'll end up like my mate Nick or you can end up like me (sic)". Mr Rowe has also pushed the State Government to consider extending 'Tom's Law' - that will place passenger limits on red P-Platers - to two years, to cover a driver's entire probationary period. "Firstly I reckon that it shouldn't only apply to red P-Platers, because the whole two years that you are with P plates on your car, but also it's not really the law that can change how a person drives. If they want to make the wrong decision they're going to. I think the laws need to be stricter," he went on to say. He also believes the current penalty - a $200 fine and two demerit points - is not a deterrent and needs to be increased.

EXCLUSIVE: The WA Road Safety Minister, David Michael, has responded to claims from a Youth Jam listener that the recently-announced P-Plater passenger limits are "arbitrary” and “punishing young people”. As previously reported, red P-Plate drivers will be limited to one passenger in their vehicle at all times under new rules introduced by the State Government. Minister Michael told Isaac Mulcrone, on Youth Jam's Newsflash radio show, that 'Tom's Law' is "not a punishment" and "is about skills". "It's about skills, Isaac, it's not a punishment, it's about making sure young people, especially who get their red Ps have that six months to hone their skills," he told listeners. There's been suggestion that further reforms are to come, Minister Michael refused to be drawn on whether they will put further restrictions on P-Platers. "Lots of ideas came out of the roundtable and there's also lots of ideas that get thrown at me all the time," he said. Minister Michael also responded to whether the limits are "practical", like Premier Roger Cook has claimed, and has commented on variable speeding fines.
