Stand-up comedian and closet art-historian Hannah Gadsby is expanding the world of comedy with her new television series Hannah Gadsby’s OZ.

The three-part series sees Ms Gadsby travel across Australia examining our national identity, immigrants, Indigenous Australians and women, as Australian artists have depicted them for over 200 years. 

Ms Gadsby says her new focus on art has inspired her to be more experimental in her up-coming comedy show, The Exhibitionist.

Twenty-year-olds working in the retail industry will soon be paid adult wages after the Fair Work Commission has ruled to increase their hourly rate by two dollars.

The commission found there was a need to change the General Retail Industry Award so that twenty-year-old workers are treated the same as those aged twenty-one. 

Spokesman for the Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees’ Association, Tony Burke says the ruling means employees will finally be paid what they are worth.
