Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney made headlines in January for his speech promoting principles of collaboration beyond the typical global superpowers we've come to rely on. Mr Carney's speech at the World Economic Forum was criticised by the United States, but middle powers around the world have voiced their support including Australia. So where does that leave us? Will we reconsider the long history of following the lead of the US?

Men are less likely to be openly queer in professional sport around the world compared to women or non-binary players. So what does it mean when there has been a sudden increase of former sportsmen in Australia coming out as gay and bisexual in the public eye? Could this be a widespread shift in stereotypes for men in professional sports? Featured: Jacqueline Shields (JOYfm, Game On!), Samantha Lewis (President, The Flying Bats), Ben Cork (Pride in Sport) Presenter - Noah SecombProducer - Martin DaviesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Australia Day this year has brought forward old debates to change the date of our national holiday, but has also ignited new concerns as alt-right groups have used the day to protest immigration. What was January 26th actually like this year beyond the headlines? And what is Australia missing by celebrating an historic day of colonisation and not a moment of unity? Featured: Micah Kickett, Dr Kaz Ross, Rev. Peter Mbakwe Presenter - Noah SecombProducer - Martin DaviesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Many Australians saw the result of last year's election as a sign of things to come. The broad support of the country should have given Labor the chance to go full throttle on reform and new policies. But that hasn't been the case. So why is Labor acting so slow? Is it intentional? Featured: Sean Kelly, Quarterly Essay - The Good Fight: What Does Labor Stand For? Presenter - Noah SecombProducer - Martin DaviesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After 5 years as the National Children's Commissioner, Anne Hollonds has been a first-hand witness to the slow pace of change in politics, even when it's a matter of keeping young Australians safe. While the social media ban for under-16s suggests there is the ability to move quickly, it seems pretty unlikely the government will keep up the momentum and confront shortfalls in child safety.

Climate change, energy policy and net-zero targets became a key feature of the post-election political debate as the Opposition sought to rebrand itself. It sparked hours of internal meetings for the Liberal party, but also provided a unique opportunity for climate activists and a chance for experts to correct some of the lasting myths around net-zero.

D-day for the under-16s social media ban has come and gone to much fanfare. The national push to let 'kids be kids' and get them off social media has been well spoken about for over a year. But a few days in and it seems nothing much has changed. Will the government use this momentum it has created to continue developing policy for some of the most vulnerable people in Australia, or have we seen the pinnacle of commonwealth action to protect children? Featured: Lochie Antoniazzi (SYN Media), Gabriel Shipton, Former National Children's Commissioner Anne Hollonds Presenter - Noah SecombProducer - Martin DaviesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
As all eyes turn to users of music streaming platforms like Spotify, YouTube and Apple Music, questions of ethics and supporting artists cannot be ignored. We speak to those in community broadcasting to find an alternative to the well-engrained culture of streaming and an artist who hopes others will follow his lead in ditching the platforms altogether. Featured: Jas Moore (3RRR Breakfasters), Andrew Khedoori (CBAA Music Director), David Bridie (Frontman Not Drowning, Waving) Presenter - Noah SecombProducer - Martin DaviesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Recent years of domestic violence advocacy and protest have fallen from prominence as rates of fatalities decrease. But away from the east coast policy is changing and organisations are pushing to keep the momentum going. South Australia established the only Royal Commission into family, domestic and sexual violence in the country which handed down its final report earlier this year. Can we expect governments across the country to take further action or will it fall on the community sector to step up? Featured: Emma Wotzke (Radio Adelaide, TheWIRE), Christine Owen (Former Rotary District Governor) Presenter - Noah SecombProducer - Martin DaviesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
You could easily be forgiven for thinking the state of climate policy was a bit dire in Australia after weeks and months of speculation over the Coalition's eventual decision to dump net-zero targets. Despite all that, it appears emissions will continue to go down as state and territory Liberal parties have reaffirmed their support to meet net-zero in coming decades. Experts say the world is moving in the same direction to a low-emissions future with the decision of the federal Coalition only opening up opportunities for Labor and the crossbench to tear them to shreds. Featured: Kate Hook (Climate 200), Sean O'Shannessey (RiverFM, Environmental as Anything), Dr. Niranjika Wijesooriya Gunarathne (University of Sydney) Presenter - Noah SecombProducer - Martin DaviesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
50 years on from the Whitlam dismissal fewer and fewer people can recall exactly what happened and why it was such a critical moment in Australian political history. It's a story of holding up democracy, the human impact of politics, and something we should all remember so it isn't repeated it in the future. Featured: Maryanne Gore (1RPH, Canberra local in 1975), Mike Lewis (Whitlam dismissal eye-witness) Presenter - Noah SecombProducer - Martin DaviesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Shouldn’t we all have a right to clean air? It’s a question being asked by some in the Upper Hunter Valley of New South Wales. Air quality monitors sit amongst the vast scale open cast coal mining, but are they adequate, and are they really protecting locals' lungs in an area where a medical trial suggests asthma levels are higher than elsewhere.
