  • Diphtheria podcast

    I found that this story unnecessarily denigrated public health staff from state run clinics eg WACHS.

    It’s very unlikely that staff at WACHS clinics would not be seeking to increase diphtheria awareness.

  • The Guardian…

    Do you not cringe when you go home at your refusal to mention immigration, and demand issues, in relation to housing affordability in Australia? The highest rate of immigration and population growth for decades, in the west, and apparently none of a panel of journalists has ever looked at the data or the impacts on incumbents, let alone the class impacts. You come across as morons. You premise your silence on the notion that you’d be pushing fascism but in fact your censorship is contributing to... more

    Excellent interview by Noor. I feel for *Sara but disappointed that her dad ‘just wants to be left in peace to sit down and watch a movie or a tik tok’, rather than wanting to make a contribution to Australian society.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Newsroom Edition: Are falling house prices a trap for Labor?
Q: What are the risks and rewards for a government presiding over an era of falling house prices?
Risks include political backlash if households feel wealth is eroding, while rewards could come from demonstrating reform to improve long-term affordability, though short-term pain may persist.
Newsroom Edition: Are falling house prices a trap for Labor?
Q: Jonathan, can you tell us what has happened to house prices lately, and how much of that is due to the budget, and how much of it is other factors?
Prices have flattened nationally with declines in Sydney and Melbourne, and the budget is one of several factors along with rate rises, inflation, and external pressures, making it hard to isolate the budget's exact impact.
El Niño is imminent. How worried should Australians be?
Q: What should people not panic about when they see headlines about a 'Godzilla' El Niño?
Avoid over-interpreting the term; what matters is understanding the range of possible outcomes, the timing and duration, and implementing adaptive measures across sectors rather than chasing sensational labels.
El Niño is imminent. How worried should Australians be?
Q: How does El Niño interact with climate change, and what should Australians be preparing for in practical terms?
El Niño generally increases temperatures and drought risk, and climate change supercharges those effects by warming baseline conditions; practical prep includes considering water management, heat-health planning, agriculture adjustments, and reinforcing emergency response systems for heatwaves and related hazards.
El Niño is imminent. How worried should Australians be?
Q: Graham, what does the World Meteorological Organization's update mean for the likelihood and potential strength of El Niño later this year?
It signals a moderate to possibly strong El Niño, with consensus building around higher odds of warming in the tropical Pacific; however, strength in meteorological terms does not always map directly to the severity of impacts in Australia, which depend on regional patterns and climate change context.
