    Oct 23 2024

    This is my take on the last week in news: The Senate needs to condemn Thorpe’s outburst at Charles & Camilla, Royal media coverage was outdated and over the top and advice for David Warner & Jacinta Allan.

    Oct 17 2024

    This is my take on the last week in news: Anthony Albanese is entitled to buy any property he chooses - but he's losing a sense of what people really care about; Australia's birth rate is at an all time low and it could be a serious problem in the future. The Government needs to wake up to it!

  • Why one trip convinced a professional cynic the world is dying
    Sep 16 2024

    Garry Linnell has built a name and career out of being a professional cynic. He's an award-winning journalist, author and former director of news and current affairs for the Nine Network. But, after a recent trip to the Arctic, he has seen what he believes is evidence the world is dying.

    Garry is not a greenie, and he's the last person you'd expect to start campaigning on climate change, but in this episode, Garry Linnell tells me WHY it's time to start ringing the alarm bells.
