Happy election day! If you're anything like us, you've been bombarded by A LOT of advertising lately. But there are some campaigns that just stick in your mind.
 

From 'Kevin 07' to 'It's Time', there are some you can't forget. There's plenty of nostalgia in this episode of Late Night Live that looks at the changing methods politicians have used to reach voters since 1901. 
 

And to follow the ABC's rolling live coverage of this year's election, you can tune into NewsRadio, ABC Radio National and ABC Local Radio from 6pm (AEST) for rolling live election coverage.
 

The other topic dominating the news this week is a little more sweet … sort of. 
 

Cookbook author Nagi Maehashi has accused influencer and baker Brooke Bellamy (of Brooki Bakehouse fame) of plagiarising two of her recipes, including a five-step method for caramel slice. 
 

Bellamy has rejected the claim, saying her recipes were "created over many years". Hear celebrity Chef Adam Liaw weigh in on the topic of 'recipe copyright' on this episode of Life Matters.
 

And something that really had Radio National listeners talking lately was perimenopause. Low libido, mood swings and hot flushes can make perimenopause gruelling — it can be confusing for partners too. 
 

In this feature read we speak to the experts to give practical tips on what you can do to support your partner through this tricky time.

The Radio National Hour asks: What would this mean and could it be as bad as the major parties purport?
 

As Anthony Albanese and Peter Dutton lay out their final pitches to voters, Patricia Karvelas and Fran Kelly are joined by David Crowe on The Party Room to unpack who won the campaign itself, regardless of who clinches victory on election night.

Perimenopause symptoms like mood swings, low libido and hot flushes can make life difficult for those who experience them. For partners, it can be confusing too. But there are ways to help.

What exactly is recipe copyright and can it even be proven? Life Matters speaks with chef Adam Liaw in the aftermath of the controversy stirred up when RecipeTin Eats founder Nagi Maehash accused Baking With Brooki author Brooke Bellamy of plagiarising her recipes for caramel slice and baklava.
