    The code's CEO Andrew Dillon says it's done to protect players' health as well as the integrity of the game... and the league is now reviewing its Illicit Drugs Policy.

Very good interviews and national stories

Some of these stories may slip under the radar, these issues often contain useful information and may not be covered by other news outlets and Radio National gives you in-depth coverage about each topic which is great. Radio National also produces interviews which I really like because there are often interesting people in each topic, but they may not cover all sides fairly.

ABC balance issues

Out of all of the ABC programs for left wing indoctrination, this program is a little bit more moderate. Unfortunately in Australians are funding an unbalanced public broadcaster.

I love Sally Sara

She is brings an ‘easy to listen to’ and less aggressive style to the program, yet still getting the answers from her guests. I hope we get more of her. I’ve always loved her when she was an overseas correspondent.
