    Elon Musk's influence on the US government / Proposals to make hiking trails more tourist friendly

    On Wednesday's Backchat, we’re looking into Elon Musk’s influence over the US federal government.

    From accessing classified data to dismantling Congress approved bodies, the world’s richest man has been given unprecedented powers – which critics say go well beyond advising the Trump administration.
    This comes as New York federal judge temporarily blocked Musk’s team from accessing the systems used to process trillions of dollars in payment, ruling that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and political appointees had no legal powers to inspect files containing the personal data of millions of Americans.
    Musk was quick to react, describing the judge as “corrupt” and saying that he should be impeached. So what does federal law say about the role of private citizens in government? We'll ask the experts.
    After 9:50, we discuss lawmakers' suggestions to develop touristic facilities around Hong Kong's hiking trails.

    Changes to the minimum wage / Closure of President Cinema in Causeway Bay

    主持人:Danny Gittings and Paul Zimmerman

    On Thursday’s Backchat we’re talking about a new system for setting Hong Kong’s minimum wage which will take economic growth and consumer prices into account and mean that it can never be cut back below its existing level in future.

    Secretary for Labour and Welfare Chris Sun called these changes a "historic and challenging mission". But some employers say its unreasonable that it will become impossible to ever reduce the minimum wage even if times get tough for businesses. And unionists are unhappy about reported plans to increase the minimum wage by only HK$1.8 an hour this year, one of the lowest increases ever.
    After 9:45, we look at Hongkongers' cinema going habits, following the closure of the almost six-decade-old President Cinema in Causeway Bay.
