I would like to hear more independent journalism on this pod.
I found the person that did this story sounded very condescending and as though they were trying to make it amusing, it didn’t come across well. All of your normal episodes are great, very informative.
Just listened to Bonnie Blue and the talk of boys being men once they turn 18. This opinion seems to be changing depending on the context and I don’t understand why. If they committed a crime at 18 we are told their brains aren’t fully developed until they are 25 so aren’t responsible for their actions.
I don’t care what she does for a living but if she was a man she’d be called a toolie.
I was happy to hear from a SA survivor and completely agree with him.
Personable chat but the misinformation/duplicity not challenged eg. on how opening gas exploration will reduce costs for mums shopping for Xmas presents? Eg. How she waxed lyrical about caring for the next generation but was actually the Minister who took kids too court to reject finding that Government owed a duty of care to the next gen. Disappointing journalism
Heavily opinionated, she hates anything that’s not left and she gives her unwanted opinion on everything instead of just reading the news. Cannot understand how she is employable in the media.
