Episode 5 - The Agony of SchoolFew topics are more passionately debated in Australia than whether you should send your kids to a private or public school. Does spending a fortune on your child's education lead to better opportunities or are you just paying for expensive uniforms and the chance to walk through a sandstone gate? Research shows that private school students score an average of 7.5 points higher out of 100 on the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank than their state school counterparts. But it's not a guarantee. Nevertheless, private schools have better facilities, smaller classes, more parental involvement and cost more than $100,000 per child over six years. State schools have a more diverse student population so your child lives in the real world, with more varied extra curricular activities, and the money you save can be spent on educating them with tailored private tutoring and travel. The choice is yours.

Episode 6 - The Agony of AgeingPopular wisdom used to be that people who "had work done" were desperate and sad, with many Australians eschewing cosmetic surgery lest they end up looking like frightened clowns in a wind tunnel. But that opinion has been lasered away with Australians now spending $850 million-a-year on cosmetic surgery and the figure growing at 25 per cent per annum. These days, it's not unusual for a 13 year-old to get liposuction and plane loads of Australian women to make Contiki-style tours to Thailand to get nipped and tucked. Then there's the surge in cosmetic injectables like botox and the desire to have surgical and nonsurgical buttock augmentations to look like Kim Kardashian and Beyonce. Former super model Jerry Hall is dead against the trend saying that cosmetic surgery makes "perfectly intelligent women look like lunatics". ''I'm against botox too," says Hall. "For one thing, it's very bad for your health to put poison in your forehead, and if you paralyse the expression, you don't feel emotions properly." But the trend is showing no sign of abating as an aging population looks in the mirror and says, "Is that me? I look old, but I don't feel old." Is it important to look like you feel? And is looking your age soon going to be a subversive act?
