    'Just Saying': Words Worth Carrying into the New Year with Hugh Mackay

    'Just Saying': Words Worth Carrying into the New Year with Hugh Mackay As we begin a new year, many of us are thinking about resolutions — what we might change, what we might let go of, and how we want to live more thoughtfully in the months ahead. Hugh MacKay invites us to approach those questions in a very human way — not through rules or self-help formulas, but through words that have travelled across centuries and cultures. Hugh Mackay is one of Australia’s most respected social researchers and writers, known for his deep curiosity about who we are and how we live together. In his latest book, Just Saying, Hugh gathers more than a hundred sayings — from philosophers, poets, activists and everyday wisdom — and reflects on why these few words still matter in our lives today. As we start a new year, this feels especially timely. Rather than making resolutions about doing more or being better, Just Saying encourages us to reflect on how we speak, how we judge, how we forgive, and how we live with one another.

    Many Cultures, One Beat: Krisha Jilson on Dance , Belonging and Respect

    Many Cultures, One Beat: Krisha Jilson on Dance, Belonging and Respect In this episode, I’m joined by Krisha Jilson for a thoughtful conversation about cultural diversity, tolerance, and respect in everyday life. Krisha brings a rare and powerful perspective. As a director in the Australian Public Service with a strong background in computer science, she works in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) systems, data and ICT program delivery. Krisha has always championed work–life balance. With over 27 years as an IT professional in the Australian Government, she practises what she preaches by encouraging everyone to start with just 30 minutes of daily activity and build from there. She now brings this passion to life through Zumba, inspiring students to find balance through enjoyable fitness experiences. Together, we explore how cultural and linguistic diversity enriches communities, how creativity can soften division, and how shared experiences — like music and dance — help people see one another with curiosity rather than fear. Krisha reflects on the importance of tolerance, respect, and inclusion, and why respect is not only a global aspiration, but something we practise locally through how we listen, lead, and live together.. This is a gentle, hopeful conversation about belonging, multicultural Australia, and the power of cultural expression to build bridges across difference. A reminder that multiculturalism and mutual respect often start openness, generosity and listening to one another.
