  • AI discussion

    The suggestion that the Court decided to ignore interstate guidelines based on parochial tribalism is risible. Given the significant differences between the Vic and NSW models (and noting each had been criticised heavily in different quarters) it would not have been possible simply to ‘adopt the Eastern States approach’: would not it have been necessary to prefer one over the other and might not the whole point of consultation have been to invite consideration by the profession as to which of th... more

  • Interrupting …

    Daniel STOP interrupting the flow of your guests’ speaking particularly when they are half way through telling specific details - they never come back to finish their story! You are annoying with your stuttering mannerisms and I implore you to back off with your enthusiasm to interrupt guests or Sean. This criticism especially refers to part 1 of the interview with David Lawrence’s brother 11 August 2025.

  • Would be a great podcast if not for..

    DP who makes it unlistenable. He brings nothing to the table except redundant regurgitation of what SF has just explained and tries to use what he obviously thinks are big words but are often incorrect in the context. It’s clearly a job for a hard up mate by SF. The mutual backslapping in almost every episode is tiresome too.

  • Unnecessarily dramatic

    This is a hard listen if you want a succinct podcast. The ‘oh my, then what happened’, ‘oh let me get this straight’ and ‘you’re telling me….’ It’s very dramatic, where it doesn’t need to be. A series of 5-6 episodes could be wrapped up in 2. And the Canada episodes? Weird…
