  • Cult change

    Thank you to Professor David Heilpern for their insight to these cults/groups. We could definitely use a change of how to engage with these ‘freeman’ and not keep placing people in all authority levels in harms way.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Are suppression orders out of control in Victoria?
Q: What reform ideas are proposed by the guests?
Proposals include amending the Open Courts Act to limit use of mental health grounds, creating an independent Open Justice Advocate to represent public interests in court, and broader reform to improve access to documents and overall transparency.
Are suppression orders out of control in Victoria?
Q: What is the main concern about suppression orders in Victoria today?
The main concern is that suppression orders, especially on mental health grounds, may be used in a way that undermines open justice, with issues around notice, access to transcripts, and the ability of media to challenge orders due to financial and practical constraints.
Is the right to protest being undermined in Australia?
Q: Why do you think the protest in Sydney descended into violence, but protests in other cities did not?
The restrictions imposed on protestors in Sydney were unique and significant, greatly contributing to the violence.
British AG Richard Hermer on Gaza, Israel, Greenland, and upholding the rule of law; Political donations buy access
Q: What message do you have for Australian politicians regarding anti-Semitism?
Strengthen bonds and work together to combat anti-Semitism and intolerance.

Q: How should the UK respond to the USA when it suggests a takeover of Greenland or seizes the president of Venezuela?
While the UK remains pragmatic in international dealings, it upholds its belief in international law and the international rules-based order.
