  • Yumna Kassab's lazy dismissal of legitimate concerns about migration and and social cohesion was disappointing and offered nothing of value whatsoever to this national discussion

  • Trump lashes out at Australia…….Storm in a teacup?

    Hard to read what he is really saying. President Trump was reminded in an interview with Time magazine that he had said he would end the Russian war on Ukraine on “day one,” he claimed he hadn’t been speaking literally or seriously.“Well, I said that figuratively, and I said that as an exaggeration, because to make a point, and you know, it gets, of course, by the fake news [unintelligible]. Obviously, people know that when I said that, it was said in jest, but it was also said that it will be e... more

  • A lot of fluff , story could of been covered in a minute

    Just listened to the “what we know about the Dezi Freeman” podcast.

    The 23 min episode was 22 mins too long.

    The journalist could of just said ,

    Police got a tip and they can’t say if the person is eligible for a reward.

    Don’t know if dezi shot at police first.

    Don’t know how long or how he got to his lair.

    Job done

  • Always informative, fix the partner approach

    I love the guardian - vital institution and meets the standard it sets. Stories are always excellent and insightful. Don’t at all understand why they don’t have a proper pod partnership approach though - listening to issue after issue being dissected then getting fed standard ads from perpetrators of these issues like commbank, coke, McDonald’s etc doesn’t make sense and effects the integrity of the show and listening experience

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How Victoria’s treaty heralds a new era of politics
Q: I've got to ask, how has Victoria managed to sign Australia's first and only treaty with First Nations people in Australia, when the rest of the country just hasn't managed it?
Douglas Smith explains the multi-year process beginning in 2016, the formation of advisory bodies, and the enactment of laws that enabled a formal treaty with traditional owners, making Victoria unique in Australia.
The vulnerable children charged with possessing extremist material
Q: What role does education play in addressing this issue?

The vulnerable children charged with possessing extremist material
Q: Do these laws actually prevent radicalization or terrorism?

The vulnerable children charged with possessing extremist material
Q: What did you find about the new laws and their purpose?

The vulnerable children charged with possessing extremist material
Q: Can you tell me more about that focus on broader patterns across Australia?
