It’s back, each week we’re going to be chatting to 20-somethings from all over Australia and getting their opinion on current trending news from around the globe. Short, sharp opinions that are straight to the point. No side-stepping here.

Pokémon Go. Are you playing?
Nooooooo. Am I the only one?
Housing affordability. Does the current affordability problem stress you out?
If house prices keep increasing I don’t think ill ever be able to buy a nice home, so I guess yeah, some people might find that a bit stressful.
The Bachelor. Who’s the oddest contestant this year so far?
Is the bachelor actually still a thing?
Terror. Are the emerging terror attacks in Europe likely to halt any of your travel plans?
Not likely to halt my travel plans but it definitely worries me.
Olympics. Do you think Russia should have been banned from the games entirely?
No I don’t think individuals should be banned if they haven’t been involved in the misconduct.
Freak shakes (those insane milkshakes with 1000 toppings). Ridiculous milkshakes or tasty indulgent treat?
Slightly ridiculous to me if I’m honest. I feel like nothing can beat the standard vanilla milkshake.
Backpackers pubs. Good times & cheap drinks or too many rowdy foreigners?
I cannot imagine a situation where cheap drinks and rowdy foreigners at a backpacker pub would be a bad time.
Working in retail. Right of passage or bane of your existence?
Having worked in retail for 4 years of my life I feel like everyone should have to go through the same pain.
University deregulation. Should we move to an American system or are you all for free education?
Who would say no to free education?
Choker necklaces. Trendy accessory or reminds you of a shoe lace?
I feel like I’d probably enjoy this trend more if I could actually pull it off.
