    E205 - Standard of Care for the NDIS

    The National Disability Insurance Scheme is pegged to undergo some major reforms according to some recently leaked documents revealed in the media this week. Today’s episode investigates if standardised testing and assessment processes will ensure a ‘fairer’ outcome for Australians living with a disability, or if this might just be a quick-buck-saving scheme from a government with a history of doing more harm than good in the welfare portfolio. Don't forget to SHARE this podcast, mostly so we can get this important message out and try to change this disastrous policy from being implemented. Please contact your local Federal MP/Senator to voice your concerns. Have a great week! W

    E204 - The 'Hit Job' on Speaking Up #auspol

    A ‘Hit job’ is a pretty well-known style of journalism. The basic definition is to attack someone’s character, and wordhippo.com, one of my student’s favourite websites for English, suggests that other terms that fit are ‘smear campaign’ ‘demonizing, and ‘character assassination. Last week, Aaron Patrick, a writer for the Australian Financial Review, wrote a ‘hit job’ on news.com.au political editor Samantha Maiden. It was aimed at discrediting her investigative journalism that has uncovered some pretty shocking things in Canberra these last few weeks.  Today's episode looks at how acts like this one, and other similar things, keep women from Speaking up about unacceptable behavior. Highlighting misogyny, lack of justice, and influence in the media, 'The 'Hit Job' on Speaking Up #auspol' has been written to hopefully keep the rage fire burning. Because I tell you what, THAT CROWN IS ON FIRE.  If you like it, then you should share it with a friend!! Have a fab week!!

    E203 - Why are women so mad and men so sad?

    This week the rage of women has reached boiling point. There is no denying that, and according to the Australian Government, we're fresh out of ideas for handling it. In the spirit of looking at difficult problems with few solutions, we've doubled this weeks fires but adding Men's mental health to the show. *NOTE* This is some whacky sound issues in the first quarter of this episode. I'm still getting back on my feet a little - I can still play the 'I-had-brain-surgery-recently' card, right?
