The birthing unit at Wyong has been gutted by stealth, and replaced with offices and sleeping quarters for doctors on-call, blindsiding mothers and midwives. It’s left a population of more than 350,000 with only one maternity unit, after Gosford Private Hospital announced it is closing the coast’s only private maternity service from March. Luke Grant chats with Wyong Hospital NSW Nurses and Midwives’ Association Branch delegate, Kelly Falconer, about whether Gosford Public Hospital will be able to cope with the influx of expectant mothers and if the maternity ward will be able to return to Wyong.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The world is preparing for the impending ceasefire in Gaza, which will see the release of hostages by Hamas and Palestinian prisoners from Israeli custody, in addition to a pause to the fighting in the besieged territory. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the Jewish state might not move forward with a ceasefire agreement until Hamas provides a list of the hostages set to be released. Luke Grant chats with Aussie Mum and lawyer living in Tel Aviv, Lisa Segelov, to get her thoughts on whether or not she believes Hamas will hold up their end of the bargain, how the conflict has affected Israelis on a personal level and on the heinous antisemetic vandalism that has occurred in Australia.

There is a risk that policymakers could react to a growing hostility to mining in some parts of the community, and implement legislation that threatens an industry that contributes substantially to our economy and government budgets. The average annual yield from mining is $9.5 billion, which is enough to fund the construction of seven or eight new city hospitals, 25 to 30 new regional hospitals or 60 to 70 new schools. Luke Grant chats with Director and Founder of Adept Economics, Gene Tunny, to find out what threats this industry faces and what would happen to Australia's economy and bottom line were our resources to be culled.

When it comes to survival, AMSA Medical Advisor Dr Paul Luckin has seen it all. His long career as medical doctor in search and rescue, and his in-depth understanding of the human psyche has made him a leading expert in calculating the timeframe for survival for people in life-threatening situations. He began his life in emergency medicine helping cut people out of cars in Tasmania, and after his medical degree went to South Africa where he finished his medical training and worked in search and rescue in remote and mountainous locations. As a Commander in the Royal Australian Naval Reserve, Paul has served in Afghanistan, Bougainville and East Timor. He was in the Resuscitation and Retrieval Team for the victims of the Bali bombs, and was in the first medical team into Banda Aceh following the tsunami. Most recently, he assisted police in locating the missing hiker in the Koszuisko National Park. Luke Grant chats with Dr Paul Luckin to find out what’s involved in finding people when the odds are stacked against them and the toll this takes on those searching.
