  1. BEN ROBERTS SMITH From hero to handcuffs

    1D AGO

    BEN ROBERTS SMITH From hero to handcuffs

    Ben Roberts-Smith's story is unlike any in Australian military history. Decorated with the Victoria Cross, celebrated as a national hero, then  a defamation trial that first relied on 'balance of probabilities' to criminal charges he now faces. And, the deeper question: what does this means for the Australian Defence Force if this is how Australia treats its bravest soldiers. Who will be willing to serve?

  2. TRANS TRUTH AND TRUMP Reality is non-negotiable

    TRANS TRUTH AND TRUMP Reality is non-negotiable

    Sex is biological. Gender is a social construct. And a defence force exists to win wars, not to serve as a platform for social experimentation. The Trump administration made decisive steps to restore clear, science-based definitions of male and female across federal policy, military readiness, standards, and cohesion. Objective reality is non-negotiable. Isn't it? Straightforward and prepared for anything Lawrence and Cheryl are unafraid to say what many are thinking.

  3. WHERE'S DAD? The nuclear family and the men children need

    WHERE'S DAD? The nuclear family and the men children need

    It's a question too many children are asking. What does relinquishment of the nuclear family, the replaceable role of fathers, and the narrative in schools tell us about what children need when dad isn't in the picture? What is society telling our children when being brave and masculine could be the first step toward arrest? A conversation with Peter Richardson. Support the show

  4. INDISPENSABLE: The Principal's Right Hand

    2D AGO

    INDISPENSABLE: The Principal's Right Hand

    The EA role in a school is unlike any other. Not a teacher, nor a general admin role, but absolutely central to everything. In this episode, we explore the unique identity, influence, and professional value of executive assistants in education, and why school leadership simply couldn't function without them. A conversation with Kristine Nivan Support the show

    MARTIAL LAW: Citizen's arrest on on treasonous Australians

    Martial law. Treason. When citizens arrest is blocked it exposes more than the fear. The determination for Australian's to take back the lucky country.   A conversation with Mike Holt. Support the show

  6. SUICIDE WAR: Veterans, first responders and PTSD

    5D AGO

    SUICIDE WAR: Veterans, first responders and PTSD

    Combat and first responder trauma   is costing the lives of those charged with saving the lives of others. 1 veteran died by suicide every week between 1997 and 2020. All while PTSD has become shorthand for a bad week at work.  A conversation with Mark Pavilach Support the show

  7. READING BETWEEN THE LINES: Tasmania's Statewide Literacy Plan. Is it enough?

    READING BETWEEN THE LINES: Tasmania's Statewide Literacy Plan. Is it enough?

    Tasmania has rolled out its literacy plan. A big budget and the kind of language that makes it very hard to argue against - explicit teaching, evidence-based practice, best practice frameworks.  But what happens when the words we use  so accepted, so unquestioned, that teachers stop thinking and stay comfortable with being handed the answers? Critical thinking isn't just a skill we should be teaching kids. It's a professional obligation teachers owe to the system itself. And, the uncomfortable question: in a culture that praises teachers for working hard and showing up, are we trading accountability for applause?  Good intentions don't teach children to read. Critical professionals do. A conversation with Simon Matthews Support the show

    APR 2

    TRUMPING THE UNIONS: Dirty Money in U.S. Classrooms

    Money laundering, fraud, and misappropriation quietly bleeding school districts dry, and the political earthquake of Donald Trump's dismantling of the federal Department of Education. Should unions be in panic mode?   A conversation with Lawrence Rogak Support the show
