4d ago00:37:53Tap to summarizeShe's a social worker. She knows the system inside out. And she's still struggling to get care for her own daughter. In this episode, we sit down with Sharon, an advocate, sector leader, and mother of Amber, who lives with intellectual disability, psychosis, mitochondrial disease, and vision loss. Sharon pulls back the curtain on what Australia's care system really looks like from the inside — and what it means for every family navigating it alone. "I'm a social worker. I've worked across aged care, youth, and different systems. I understand how it all works, and I'm struggling. So how would your average person even start to navigate it?" 📢 If this episode resonated with you: 👍 Like this video to help more families find it 🔔 Subscribe so you never miss an episode --------------------------------- Disclaimer: This video is created for educational and informational purposes only.

1w ago00:58:04Tap to summarize"Science should supersede politics — all the time, every time." Jonathan Fisher, Cauldron Energy, has spent his career across the full radioactive spectrum, from nuclear energy in the UK, to approving and building Western Australia's radioactive waste repository (the Tellus Sandy Ridge facility), to now fighting to lift the uranium mining ban in WA. In this episode, Jonathan gives one of the most honest, clear-eyed breakdowns of Australia's energy crisis you'll hear anywhere — no ideology, no spin, just science and economics. What you'll learn in this episode: → Why Sydneysiders are being told not to run dishwashers at night in 2024 → How Snowy Hydro 2.0 blew from $2.5 billion to $14 billion and what that reveals about the nuclear debate → Why Microsoft committed $20 billion to restart Three Mile Island (and what it means for Australia) → Why AI is spiking global energy demand for the first time in 30 years → Germany's "greatest strategic mistake" and why Australia may be repeating it → Why did Taiwan hold a nuclear referendum just 10 months after shutting its last reactor → The truth about rooftop solar and how a well-meaning 20-year-old policy is now breaking the grid → What Jonathan would do as Energy Minister with a guaranteed three-term mandate → Why nuclear energy is now the only bipartisan issue in US politics → The real reason your power bill keeps rising, and it's not what the media tells you This is the long-form energy conversation Australia desperately needs. 🎙 Subscribe for more conversations that go beyond the talking points. --------------------------------- Disclaimer: This video is created for educational and informational purposes only.

2w ago00:51:06Tap to summarizeMP Warren Kirby doesn't sound like a politician — because he didn't start as one. He grew up in Blacktown. Four generations of his family attended the same school. He watched a 300-student community explode past 1,000 — with no new parks, no new schools, and no plan to build them. So he stopped shouting from the outside and got himself a seat on the inside. 🎙 Subscribe for more conversations that go beyond the talking points. --------------------------------- Disclaimer: This video is created for educational and informational purposes only.

2w ago00:45:28Tap to summarizeIn this deeply thoughtful episode, we sit down with Australian Senator Varun Ghosh to trace his journey from a child of immigrants moving across Australia to a commercial barrister and a powerful voice in federal politics. Stepping away from standard political talking points, Varun delivers a masterclass on how philosophical frameworks like John Rawls' "veil of ignorance" can practically build a fairer society. We pull back the curtain on the actual drivers of long-term economic prosperity, the hidden structural pressures inside modern classrooms, and the urgent bipartisan need to safeguard our collective attention spans from addictive algorithms. In this episode, we explore: -The Advocacy Playbook: Why relentless preparation beats theatrical courtroom theatrics every single time. -The Architecture of Fairness: Breaking down the center-left philosophy built on accessible public education, secure wages, and a non-negotiable healthcare system. -The Reality of "Mission Creep": Why standardized scores are dropping and how we are overloading our teaching workforce. -The Limits of Free Speech: Drawing the hard line between robust democratic debate and inciting modern harm. -The Technological Crisis: How generative AI tools and 15-second video feeds are fundamentally degrading human empathy and critical thinking. --------------------------------- Disclaimer: This video is created for educational and informational purposes only.
