We're sharing a helping hand this Christmas to end hunger with the team at Think HQ.

Now in its fourth year partnership with Foodbank Australia, the team's holiday food drive aims to raise over 3 tonnes of food to the 1 in 6 everyday Australians going hungry.

Now more than ever, when the cost of living is at an all-time high, everyone should have access to good food no matter their situation.

Right now, the online world is influencing young people's views and behaviours towards women.

Online disrespect is just one of the ways that violence supported attitudes can develop, and overtime, these views can start to feel normal, particularly within young people.

It is our responsibility to better understand it so we can empower young people, help them navigate it and reject disrespect before it leads to violence.
