Could AI be the 'person' deciding whether or not you get your dream job?
Have you ever been in a job interview and thought, 'this meeting could have been an interaction with an AI agent'? No? Well, two-thirds of Australian employers are now using artificial intelligence agents to conduct job interviews on their behalf. What kind of bias does a computer have when deciding on the right candidate? And could it be less objective than a human?
Also, people are hacking their digital driver's licences and Grindr is once again in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.
Plus, why did the CIA secretly run a Star Wars fansite in the 2010s?

Stock Tips: WTC could be a wise choice this week
It's no easy gig analysing share prices and company performance but somebody's got to do it. Every week two experts from our Share Tips columnist pool give us their recommendations. Andrew Eddy – Morgans Financial BUY WiseTech Global (ASX:WTC) Wisetech is acquiring E2open, expanding its market reach and capabilities, driving revenue and EBITDA growth, and offering a compelling opportunity to further extend the company's growth runway. Aurizon Holdings (ASX:AZJ) Earnings from the Network and Coal segments will continue to deliver higher cash returns to shareholders and investment into Bulk and Containerised Freight will provide longer term growth. HOLD Lovisa Holdings (ASX:LOV) Lovisa's recent milestone of opening its 1,000th store globally signifies its strong growth and global presence. It continues to have ambitious expansion plans. Regis Resources (ASX:RRL) Regis is well positioned to maintain significant share price torque to the price of gold, aided by a robust production profile and underappreciated organic growth at Duketon. SELL Telstra (ASX:TLS) Although having some defensive qualities, Telstra continues to trade above its long-term average multiple, which is hard to justify considering its minimal long-term growth and competition risk. Adriatic Metals (ASX:ADT) Adriatic's share price has bounced recently on takeover talk. While high-grade metal assets with compelling economics are rare, everything has a price. Dylan Evans – Catapult Wealth BUY Goodman Group (ASX:GMG) Goodman Group's portfolio of quality industrial properties and data centres should be well supported by long-term demand trends in online retail and data hosting. Steadfast (ASX:SDF) As the largest general insurance broker in Australia, Steadfast offer exposure to growth in insurance premiums, but without the underwriting risk of the insurers. HOLD Auckland International Airport (ASX:AIA) As New Zealand's primary overseas travel gateway, Auckland Airport is a key piece of infrastructure. Overseas travel still lags pre-covid levels, but is showing signs of recovery. Woolworths (ASX:WOW) Woolworths has been losing market share to its competitors over the last few years and is now going through another restructure to regain this lost share. We expect regaining this momentum will take several years. SELL A2 Milk (ASX:A2M) The Chinese infant formula market is a key part of A2 milk's product sales. Despite reporting growth in its 1H25 results, this market faces long-term challenges, including declining birth rates. BWP Trust (BWP) A solid property trust on most metrics, with modest debt, high occupancy, and a decent 5.2% yield. Concern is always with the potential influence and reliance on Wesfarmers, who have an ownership stake and contribute 85% of the rental income via Bunnings.

Krystel Paul's sister raises money for her niece
The sister of a mother who was allegedly killed by her husband in a suspected murder suicide is raising money to support the couple's child, now in her care following the tragedy. The bodies of Krystel and James Paul, both aged 41, were found after emergency services were called to a Cairns home about 7.15pm on Tuesday to conduct a welfare check. When officers arrived at the Mount Sheridan home on Verbena Dr they found both bodies with gunshot wounds. Those close to Ms Paul said she was allegedly planning to leave her husband, The Cairns Post reported. Mr Paul was reportedly a registered gun owner who kept multiple firearms at the home. The bodies of Krystel and James Paul were found on Tuesday evening following a welfare check. Picture: Instagram. Ms Paul's sister, Jasmin Bolt, has set up a fundraiser to support the couple's child, who had sought help from a neighbour on Tuesday evening. More than $10,000 has been raised on the Go Fund Me page, with Ms Bolt writing she would be looking after he niece, along with her mother, following her sister's death. 'I need to make sure (her niece) is financially secure for her future, to help with schooling moving forward,' Ms Bolt wrote on the fundraiser. 'Thank you everyone for your kind words and support.' Cairns' Police Detective Acting Inspector Alina Bell earlier told media the couple's nine-year old daughter had gone to neighbour Danna Lancini's home to seek help on Tuesday evening. 'We provided an immediate response due to the concerns of the welfare of the occupants of that house, and unfortunately upon arrival, both male and female were located deceased,' Acting Inspector Bell said. Ms Lancini said the young girl told her 'dad sent me here because (my mum) is dead', the Cairns Post reported. '(Her dad) told her to run to (my) house and then ring her grandma and tell her that the mum's dead,' Ms Lancini said. 'I didn't believe it …(but) he must've rung the ambulance because when I looked out, the police was there. 'It happened all at one … the daughter was in shock, and the police didn't really say anything.'
