    Ep. 16: Fixing the News (part 2)

    Matthew 6:24, states “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other.” Most people in the modern world understand this, yet it seems lost on Australia’s ABC. Funded by hard working taxpayers, the ABC Charter insist on the highest standards of news reporting completely free from outside influence. That Charter has been ripped apart through the ABC’s alliance with LGBTQA lobby group - ACON (The Aids Council of NSW). Kit Kowalski explains how this relationship is shaping Australia’s workplace and cultural landscape.

    Ep 15: Fixing the News (part 1)

    Is the news Australians read, hear or view always objective, true and complete? In some news outlets, activism has taken over from journalistic integrity to push alternative ideas. Subjective opinion pieces are wrongly labelled as ‘news’, while important yet progressively unpalatable news is overlooked. Should our news stories be written with an ideological slant, or with a focus on reality? Who are the biggest culprits? You may be shocked. These chapters are AI generated. Please let us know if errors occur.

    Ep 14: The Devil in Daycare

    Australia’s institutional childcare sector is in serious trouble. While expensive and short on places, the sector has been plagued by horrific sexual and physical abuse of children in their care by staff members.

    Ep 13: Unfair Play

    Women’s and girl’s sport in Australia is at the crossroads. Males identifying as female can now compete against women in most ‘community’ level sports. This is seeing women and girls leaving the sport they love due to safety and fairness. They’re also missing grade advancement and podium finishes. Yet parents, players, fans and coaches have had enough. Unfair play, helped by government funded LGBTQA groups, is fast approaching full-time.
