Also a cause for concern is emerging evidence of ultra-processed foods' detrimental effect on our brain health and overall well-being.When most of our calories come from ultra-processed foods, the risk of chronic physical and mental health conditions escalates. Scientists are now uncovering the intricate mechanisms behind this relationship, particularly concerning the effects of these foods on our brains.In today's episode, we welcome back Prof. Felice Jacka, OAM. Felice is an Alfred Deakin professor of nutritional psychiatry and the director of the Food & Mood Centre at Deakin University, in Australia.

Following a diverse and distinguished career in public health practice research, academic governance and teaching, Catherine now holds the role of Alfred Deakin Professor and Inaugural Chair in epidemiology at Deakin University.

Her intertwining personal and professional journeys now provide her with a rare combination of resilience, expertise and perspective that – at this time in history – has never been more important. "The pandemic is a terrible situation for the world. But one where everything I have worked on over time comes together, in a way. Epidemiology, transmission, communication, analytics - I'm grateful I can now draw on them. "It comes down to how you respond to the challenges. That is the mark of the epidemiologist."   Tune in to this episode to hear more about Catherine's: Approach to her career, with a renewed value placed upon work-life balance, and her commitment to modelling this for her team; Insightful reflections on her experience of the pandemic as a frontline epidemiologist – from preparation to the manifestation of a COVID reality; Expert analysis on Australia's COVID response; and  Perspective on how personal setbacks have equipped her with a rare professional skillset needed in today's world.     Investing for Life is hosted by Douglas Isles, Platinum Asset Management.Disclaimer: Issued by Platinum Investment Management Limited ABN 25 063 565 006, AFSL 221935.

The saga of Australia continues with... Girt Nation: The Unauthorised History of Australia, Volume 3 (Black Inc., 2021). David Hunt tramples the tall poppies of the past in charting Australia's transformation from aspiration to nation - an epic tale of charlatans and costermongers, of bush bards and bushier beards, of workers and women who weren't going to take it anymore. Girt Nation introduces Alfred Deakin, the Liberal necromancer whose dead advisors made Australia a better place to live, and Banjo Paterson, the jihadist who called on God and the Prophet to drive the Australian infidels from the Sudan 'like sand before the gale'. And meet Catherine Helen Spence, the feminist polymath who envisaged a utopian future of free contraceptives, easy divorce and immigration restrictions to prevent the 'Chinese coming to destroy all we have struggled for!' Thrill as Jandamarra leads the Bunuba against Western Australia, and Valentine Keating leads the Crutchy Push, an all-amputee street gang, against the conventionally limbed. Gasp as Essendon Football Club trainer Carl von Ledebur injects his charges with crushed dog and goat testicles. Weep as Scott Morrison's communist great-great-aunt Mary Gilmore holds a hose in New Australia. And marvel at how Labor, a political party that spent a quarter of a century infighting over how to spell its own name, ever rose to power. David Hunt is an unusually tall and handsome man who likes writing his own biographical notes. He is the author of the bestselling Girt and True Girt, as well as two books for children. David is also a television presenter and podcaster, and has a birthmark that looks like Tasmania, only smaller and not as far south. Bede Haines is a solicitor, specialising in litigation and a partner at Holding Redlich, an Australian commercial law firm. He lives in Sydney, Australia.

"The policy of US and Arab regimes won't change on the Palestinian issue in near future and there is no soft corner for extremists of both sides in the world but protest in the west could create pressure on world powers and stakeholders".

Dr Zahid Shahab is a research fellow of Alfred Deakin institute in Melbourne and Dr Tauseef Ahmed is a senior Pakistani journalist/news analyst and a columnist. - مستقبل قریب میں فلسطین کے مسئلے پر امریکی اور عرب حکومتوں کی پالیسی میں کوئی تغیر نہیں آئے گا کیونکہ شام اور ایران کے علاوہ کسی مسلم ملک میں حماس جیسے گروپس کے کے لئے کوئی نرم گوشہ نہیں ہے لیکن خود اسرائیل اور مغرب میں بڑھتا ہوا احتجاج عالمی طاقتوں اور اسٹیک ہولڈرز پر دباؤ ڈال سکتا ہے"۔ مشرق وسطی کے بحران سے متعلق فورم میں ڈاکٹر زاہد شہاب احمد اور ڈاکٹر توصیف احمد کے خیالات سنیں۔ ڈاکٹر زاہد شہاب میلبورن میں الفریڈ ڈیکن انسٹی ٹیوٹ کے ریسرچ فیلو ہیں اور ڈاکٹر توصیف احمد سینئر پاکستانی صحافی/ تجزیہ کار اور کالم نویس ہیں۔

In the latter part of the 18th century, Australia was coming of age as a nation. Five of the six colonies had introduced their own constitution, and the nation as a whole was on the cutting edge of world-leading initiatives. Literature and art were thriving, education was overhauled, and Australians were enjoying a golden age. Socially, politically, economically and culturally, the country was coming into its own. At this juncture, beginning in the 1890s there was a push by leaders towards creating a Federal government thus making Australia a fully-fledged nation in its own right. One of the key figures in this movement was Alfred Deakin. Deakin was a leading statesman, an orator and a lawmaker.

Alfred Deakin once said of Graham Berry, three times Premier of Victoria, that ‘He was the central figure both in the House and in the country and he knew it well.’  As a significant reformer, why have his achievements been overlooked in Australia’s political history? 

Public Life, Private Man: Writing the Biography of Alfred Deakin The core challenge of political biography is to answer the question, ‘why politics?’. What inner need did it fulfil, and what emotional and psychological resources were mustered for its accomplishment? These questions are harder to answer for Alfred Deakin than for less complex political leaders. Deakin was a gifted orator and successful politician who was a father of federation and Australia’s most significant prime minister until the Second World War. Yet he was also a deeply private man, with an intense intellectual and spiritual life, who wondered often if politics was the right path for him. The 2019 Seymour Biography Lecture was delivered by emeritus professor and political historian Judith Brett, who will discussed the tensions and synergies between Deakin’s public and private lives. In 2017, Brett published The Enigmatic Mr Deakin, the final addition to her trilogy of books on the history of Australian Liberals. The first full-length study of Deakin in more than 50 years, The Enigmatic Mr Deakin went on to win the 2018 National Biography Award. Brett’s prior publications include Robert Menzies' Forgotten People, Australian Liberals and the Moral Middle Class: From Alfred Deakin to John Howard and this year’s From Secret Ballot to Democracy Sausage: How Australia Got Compulsory Voting. The Seymour Biography Lecture is supported by Dr John Seymour and Mrs Heather Seymour AO.

Judith Brett, Emeritus Professor of Politics at La Trobe University, discussed her new book, The Enigmatic Mr Deakin, which details the curious life and charismatic character of Australia's second Prime Minister, Alfred Deakin. Judith won the prestigious 2018 National Biography Award for this book. Broadcast on 12 September, 2017.

It is popular to look at today's political challenges through the prism of prime ministers past, but when it comes to former liberal leaders it's usually Robert Menzies, not Alfred Deakin, who comes to mind. However Judith Brett, emeritus professor of politics at La Trobe University and author, says we have much to learn from Australia's second prime minister. Her new biography, The Enigmatic Mr Deakin, reveals the intense inner world of one of the most important fathers of Australian federation, who led the fledgling nation for three separate stints. Brett says Deakin was something of a puzzle - even to himself. As PM he had an unusual double life, anonymously penning political columns for The Morning Post in London - a well kept secret at the time. He was a gifted orator, but above all he harnessed his optimism to operate a government of compromise at a challenging time. “He saw himself as between the ultras - the ultra tory obstructionists and the part of the Labor party that was firming up as more ideological in his terms.” Brett argues that despite Deakin's undeniable charisma and skills in persuasion, his tendency towards great introspection and solitude means he would find the intensity of contemporary politics and media overwhelming. For today's two major parties “brand differentiation has become more important than actually solving problems”, Brett says, while Deakin advocated “policy before the needs of the party.”

Judith Brett Alfred Deakin, Australia's second Prime Minister, spent 32 years in politics. Renowned for his oratorical ability, superb negotiation skills and workable minority governments, he served as Prime Minister for three separate terms in the turbulent first decade of the new Commonwealth. As questions of dual citizenship threaten the Commonwealth Government's majority today, Sally Warhaft speaks to Judith Brett about Deakin's legacy and the link between the early days of federated Australia and the contemporary situation. What does it take to govern successfully without a majority? And, if minority governments are the norm in many advanced democracies, why does the prospect loom as a bogeyman in Australian public conversation?

Don Watson joins Professor Bates Gill in conversation to discuss his new Quarterly Essay, 'Enemy Within. American Politics in the Time of Trump' which takes the reader on a journey into the heart of the United States in the year 2016. Watson, with characteristic wit and acuity, places Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders in a larger frame. He considers the irresistible pull - for Americans - of American exceptionalism, and asks whether this creed is reaching its limit. He explores alternative paths the United States could have taken, and asks where its present course might lead Australia as a dutiful ally. "The best book by an outsider about America since - forever," David Sedaris, on Don Watson's American Journeys. Don Watson is a historian, author and public speaker. After writing political satire for Max Gillies and speeches for the Victorian premier John Cain, he became Paul Keating's speechwriter in 1992 and wrote the award winning biography Recollections of a Bleeding Heart: Paul Keating Prime Minister (2002). His Quarterly Essay, Rabbit Syndrome - Australia and America, won the inaugural Alfred Deakin essay prize in the Victorian Premier's literary awards. His other books include Death Sentence: The Decay of Public Language, American Journeys and Bendable Learnings: The Wisdom of Modern Management.
