Live Nation's monopoly, oil refinery fire + undiagnosed AuDHD

A landmark US jury verdict has found Live Nation and Ticketmaster guilty of running an illegal monopoly over the live music industry, potentially forcing the companies to break up and reshaping ticket pricing and artist control globally. The ruling, fueled by years of scrutiny including the infamous Taylor Swift ticket fiasco, exposes how corporate dominance has inflated prices and limited consumer choice—especially in Australia, where Live Nation owns major venues like Melbourne’s Festival Hall. Meanwhile, a fire at Australia’s Geelong oil refinery—responsible for half of Victoria’s fuel—has triggered fears of a national fuel crisis, compounding global tensions from the Iran conflict and prompting urgent diesel imports from Brunei and South Korea. In a deeply personal and powerful segment, former Vogue model Leanne Maskell shares her journey of being diagnosed with both ADHD and autism in her 20s, revealing how years of self-harm, chaotic relationships, and exploitation in the modelling industry were rooted in undiagnosed neurodivergence. She dismantles myths about 'high-functioning' neurodivergent women, emphasizing that 9 in 10 autistic women experience sexual violence and that diagnosis isn’t a prerequisite for self-validation. Her message is clear: you are not broken, and your experiences are valid—no matter the label.
