Some places were never meant to feel peaceful — especially when thousands suffered, struggled, and took their final breath within their walls.Perched above Sydney Harbour, the North Head Quarantine Station was Australia's frontline defense against deadly outbreaks — from smallpox to Spanish influenza to the bubonic plague. Ships arrived carrying the sick and the dying, and those who stepped ashore were stripped, scrubbed, isolated… and sometimes never seen again. The surviving buildings still echo with the fear, desperation, and heartbreak of those who endured long, lonely months hoping for recovery — or bracing for the end. Countless visitors report shadows in the halls, phantom footsteps on the boardwalks, and an oppressive heaviness that settles over the old shower block. On this week's True Hauntings, Anne and Renata enter Q Station Manly to uncover the spirits, stories, and residues of trauma that linger long after the final quarantine ended. Who — or what — still walks the grounds where so many fought for their last breath?

Julian Leeser joins John Anderson for an assessment of the disturbing return of anti-semitism to the Australian public sphere. Leeser sets out the historical contours of anti-semitism and why Hamas's October 7 attacks became a catalyst for hostility on Australian soil.  The conversation criticises the failure of the current Australian government to curb anti-semitic rhetoric and acts of vandalism. Instead, it has instead chosen to legitimise the actions of Hamas by recognising a Palestinian state at the UN. This is an important discussion that urges Australia to have the courage to confront extremist, anti-democratic values and ensure every Australian is able to live in safety and dignity on our shores. Julian Leeser is the Liberal Party Member for Berowra in Sydney. He is the editor and author of numerous books on a bill of rights for Australia, federalism, and Indigenous issues.

//The Wire//2300Z December 11, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: AUSTRALIAN AGE VERIFICATION LAW COMES INTO EFFECT. ARRESTS MADE IN LAST WEEK'S STABBING ATTACK IN CHARLOTTE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Australia: Yesterday Australia's Age Verification law came into effect for most websites, effectively blocking the vast majority of social media to the entire nation, unless users upload a scan of their face to prove that they are over 16 years old, and thus allowed to be on social media.Caribbean: The tanker vessel seized by the United States yesterday has been identified as the M/T *SKIPPER*, one of the infamous "shadow fleet" vessels which is used to smuggle oil around the world. The *SKIPPER* was her most recent name change, and at the time of capture she was flying the flag of Guyana (though her registration status is dubious at best). As of this afternoon, AIS ship tracking platforms noted her position being just off the east coast of St. Lucia, heading north at around 10 kts.-HomeFront-North Carolina: More details have come to light regarding the stabbing attack that took place on the Blue Line commuter train in Charlotte last week. Back on December 5th, a stabbing was reported on the train, with the assailant eventually being arrested. At the time of the incident, the attacker was not identified, but after a few days authorities said the attacker was Oscar Gerardo Solorzano-Garcia, an illegal immigrant from Honduras who had multiple warrants out for past violent crimes, to include aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.Analyst Comment: From here, the situation takes a rather unfortunate turn. Solorzano stabbed a man on the train, who was hospitalized with severe wounds. Earlier this week, the victim was identified as Kenyon Dobie, and was lauded as a hero during the attack because of his efforts to confront the attacker to stop him from harassing other commuters. Dobie did intervene, and prevented the attacker from bothering other passengers, which resulted in him getting stabbed in the process. However, after this news story hit the local media, and the victim made statements in front of the camera, Dobie (the victim) was arrested. Turns out, he had open warrants for his own arrest for beating a pregnant woman so severely she received skull fractures during a domestic dispute. Both Solorzano and Dobie are being held in jail due to Iryna's Law preventing their release.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comment: Unlike many other cases of Digital ID being mandated around the world, Australia has implemented even more dystopian procedures to take effect during this rollout. Of note, the social media platforms which are known to cause extreme harm to children (such as Discord and Roblox) are exempt from the social media ban. However, the platforms that are affected, are impacted in very specific ways.As one might expect, VPNs are popular ways to circumvent such crackdowns on speech. However, the IP addresses associated with VPNs are public record, so social media companies can easily blacklist those IPs, effectively making VPNs useless for evading the ban. At least some platforms have been observed using these blacklists (but not all). For those in the United Kingdom wondering about how their own Digital ID scandal will play out, this might be a clue; Australia is providing a case study for what a more totalitarian crackdown on communications throughout the global West might look like.How serious platforms are taking this plan is anyone's guess, and reports vary widely. Some users report no issues whatsoever with being prompted to verify their age, whereas others have reported every app they have now requiring a face scan. Some users report that they can simply put in a false date of birth with no verification at all, and others report their accounts being hard-locked even though the mandate does

El oro ha fascinado a la humanidad desde siempre por su brillo eterno y sus inigualables propiedades: no se oxida, no se corrompe y es muy dúctil. También es relativamente escaso. El oro se creó con el mismo universo. Al formarse la Tierra hace 4.500 millones de años, la mayor parte del oro se hundió en el núcleo. El que es accesible en la corteza llegó después con el “bombardeo tardío” de asteroides. Una serie de procesos hidrotermales lo concentraron en vetas y la erosión lo depositó en algunos ríos que es donde se empezó a extraer. El oro más antiguo conocido apareció en la necrópolis de Varna, en la actual Bulgaria. Data de la edad del cobre, de hace más de seis mil años, y consiste en ajuares funerarios reservados a la élite y asociados al poder y al más allá. Desde entonces su función pasó a ser simbólica, no utilitaria, ya que era demasiado blando para emplearse en la fabricación de herramientas. En el Antiguo Egipto creían que la carne de los dioses estaba hecha de oro. Se usaba en estatuas y en máscaras funerarias como la de Tutankamón. Pero los egipcios no tenían minas propias, lo tenían que importar de Nubia. Las cartas de Amarna muestran como en el segundo milenio antes de Cristo su uso ya estaba muy extendido y viajaba de un lado a otro. En la América prehispánica los incas lo llamaban “sudor del sol” y lo reservaban para ciertos rituales. Los muiscas de la actual Colombia crearon la tumbaga (una aleación oro y cobre) que empleaban en un ritual que originó la leyenda de El Dorado. En China, aunque el jade se consideraba superior, el oro formaba parte de los trajes funerarios de los emperadores. En Roma el oro se convirtió en la sangre de la economía. Los romanos se hicieron con grandes yacimientos en Hispania y Dacia, donde desarrollaron la minería a gran escala. Con ese oro acuñaron monedas como el aureus y el solidus, cuyo valor se mantuvo estable durante siglos. Pero era escaso, así que, desde la antigüedad fueron muchos los que intentaron fabricarlo transmutando metales viles como el plomo en oro. Nunca lo consiguieron, pero con sus repetidos fracasos estos alquimistas sentaron las bases de la química moderna. El descubrimiento y conquista de América abrió un nuevo capítulo en la historia del oro al tiempo que se globalizaba el comercio. La llegada de metales preciosos a España provocó inflación, pero también permitió que las monedas españolas de oro, los doblones de a 8, se convirtiesen en una suerte de divisa aceptada en cualquier parte del mundo por su abundancia y la fiabilidad de su peso y su ley. El siglo XIX vino acompañado de las grandes fiebres del oro. La de California en 1848 atrajo cientos de miles de aventureros que, en unos pocos años, extrajeron unas 800 toneladas transformando para siempre aquel Estado. Tras la de California hubo otras fiebres similares en Australia en 1851, en Sudáfrica en 1886 y a orillas del río Klondike, en Canadá, en 1897. En esa misma época el patrón oro posibilitó la expansión del comercio mundial y financió la revolución industrial. Ese patrón se reajustaría tras la segunda guerra mundial hasta que Richard Nixon lo eliminó por completo en 1971, inaugurando de paso la era del dinero fiduciario. Hoy el oro es, aparte de valor en sí mismo, una materia prima importantísima en sectores como el de la electrónica, la medicina y la exploración espacial. Desde el origen de los tiempos se han extraído poco más de 200.000 toneladas y cada año se extraen unas 3.000 toneladas. El oro sigue siendo escaso y deseado. Si hay oro en los fondos marinos o en los asteroides podemos estar seguros de que alguien irá hasta allí a buscarlo.

It requires a nonrefundable $15,000 processing fee plus a “contribution” or “gift” of at least $1 million per individual (or $2 million via an employer sponsor), with additional amounts for dependents. The funds go to entities like the U.S. Department of Commerce, and applicants must prove a lawful source of money, similar to the EB-5 investor visa.  The process involves filing a new Form I-140G, followed by consular processing abroad—no in-country adjustment of status is allowed—and approvals can happen in weeks, though backlogs from per-country caps (especially for Indian or Chinese nationals) may still cause delays for the actual green card. This program is separate from the H-1B visa system, which remains a temporary work visa for skilled professionals with issues like annual caps (85,000 visas, including 20,000 for advanced degree holders), a random lottery selection process, and criticisms of abuse (e.g., companies using it to displace U.S. workers or suppress wages via outsourcing firms). In fact, alongside the Gold Card, the Trump administration introduced a separate $100,000 one-time entry fee for H-1B applicants to deter such abuses and ensure only “the best and brightest” use it. https://twitter.com/TheRubberDuck79/status/1998791717752062345?s=20  Autopen. https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1998407015756964343?s=20   to decide if it gets a floor vote. I hope they do the right thing. The Affordability Crisis Is Not a ‘Hoax.' It Is an Existential Threat to the American Dream.  Recently, President Trump has been quoted as referring to the affordability crisis as a “Democrat scam,” “hoax,” and “con job.” Although I think Trump was likely trying to remind Americans that policies enacted when Democrats had total control of the federal government under the first two years of the Biden administration accelerated and exacerbated the affordability problem, it is dangerous for the president to use that type of language. Already, mainstream media reprobates are twisting Trump's words, leading people to believe that he is saying the affordability crisis does not exist.  In proper context, Trump is not denying that middle- and lower-class Americans are struggling to make ends meet; rather, he is trying to assign blame and hang the affordability crisis on the Democrats. But even doing that is politically unwise.  The American people are not nearly as concerned with pointing fault as they are with seeking immediately viable solutions to the untenable reality they face.

Countries on the list include much of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Qatar, Israel, Chile and Brunei. Citizens or nationals of these countries have been allowed to freely travel to the United States for tourism or business for stays of 90 days or less without obtaining a visa. If the proposal is adopted, they’ll have to share their online footprint – something that immigrant and nonimmigrant visa applicants from different categories have been required to provide since 2019. The list also includes; Telephone numbers used in the last five years Email addresses used in the last 10 years IP addresses and metadata from electronically submitted photos Biometrics – including facial, fingerprint, DNA and Iris data Information about one’s family – including  names, telephone numbers, dates of birth, places of birth and residences. The CBP proposal is open for a 60-day public comment period. ESTA – an automated system, costs $40 and is generally valid for two years. An ESTA holder can enter multiple times during that period.

The Code Conduct is a document agreed upon by social media companies for removing hate. The improved upon “Code of Conduct Plus” continues to be an important tool under the DSA: “On 20 January 2025, the revised Code of conduct on countering illegal hate speech online + (the ‘Code of conduct+') was integrated into the regulatory framework of the Digital Services Act (DSA), following a positive assessment from the Commission and the European Board for Digital Services. The Code of conduct+, which builds on the Code of Conduct adopted in 2016, strengthens the way online platforms deal with content deemed illegal hate speech according to EU law and Member States' laws. It facilitates compliance with and the effective enforcement of the DSA in this specific area.” This new Conduct Code+ was established as a “DSA Code of conduct”. This empowered civil society organisations to act as watchdogs. “Following its integration, adherence to the Code of conduct+ may be considered as an appropriate risk mitigation measure for signatories designated as Very Large Online Platforms (VLOPs) and Search Engines (VLOSEs) under the DSA.” “The DSA classifies platforms or search engines that have more than 45 million users per month in the EU as very large online platforms (VLOPs)” https://twitter.com/emd_worldwide/status/1998556257251152246?s=20   letter confirms the details of that action.

During her appearance on Wednesday on Fox News’ Outnumbered, Kirk was asked about the accusations and claims floated by podcasters like Candace Owens and others surrounding the assassination of the late co-founder of Turning Point USA, including speculation about where Charlie is buried. No rock will be unturned. I want justice for my husband, for myself, for my family more than anyone else out there. “My silence does not mean that I’m complacent,” Erika continued. “My silence does not mean that somehow Turning Point USA and all of the handpicked staff that loved my husband and that my husband loved them is somehow in on it. We are busy building.” Erika said she understands a lot of the noise is people trying to find answers to the horrific killing of her husband, and made it clear no “rock will be unturned. I want justice for my husband, for myself, for my family more than anyone else out there.” Kirk said she does have a breaking point, though, and it’s when influencers and others go after those she loves, like her family, her Turning Point USA family, and her Charlie Kirk Show family. “When you go after the people that I love, and you’re making hundreds and thousands of dollars every single episode, going after the people that I love because somehow they’re in on this… NO!” Erika said, as the host Harris Faulkner pointed out, she’d never seen Kirk like this before. “This is righteous anger because this is not okay, it’s not healthy,” she added. “This is a mind virus… but this is not okay. But just know your words are very powerful, and we are human.” “My team are not machines and they’re not robots, they are human,” Erika continued. “We have more death threats on our team and our side than I have ever seen. I have kidnapping threats. I have…you name it, we have it. And my poor team is exhausted, and every time they bring this back up, what are we supposed to do, relive that trauma all over again?”  .

In all fairness, the Democrats have been doing Redistricting for years, and continue to do so. Unfortunately, Indiana Senate “Leader” Rod Bray enjoys being the only person in the United States of America who is against Republicans picking up extra seats, in Indiana's case, two of them. He is putting every ounce of his limited strength into asking his soon to be very vulnerable friends to vote with him. By doing so, he is putting the Majority in the House of Representatives, Washington, D.C., at risk and, at the same time, putting anybody in Indiana who votes against this Redistricting, likewise, at risk. The people of Indiana don't want the Party of Sleepy Joe Biden, Kamala, Ilhan Omar, or the rest to succeed in Washington. Bray doesn't care. He's either a bad guy, or a very stupid one! In any event, he and a couple of his friends will partner with the Radical Left Democrats. They found some Republican “SUCKERS,” and they couldn't be happier that they did! Guys like Failed Senate Candidate Mitch Daniels, who I opposed in his Race against Senator Jim Banks, and Cam Savage, whoever that is, are fighting against the Republican Party, all the way.

Anybody that votes against Redistricting, and the SUCCESS of the Republican Party in D.C., will be, I am sure, met with a MAGA Primary in the Spring. If Republicans will not do what is necessary to save our Country, they will eventually lose everything to the Democrats. Rod Bray and his friends won't be in Politics for long, and I will do everything within my power to make sure that they will not hurt the Republican Party, and our Country, again.

Master Messenger: Trump Goes Full MAGA at Pennsylvania Rally, Hands GOP the 2026 Talking Points The master messenger is at it again, this time handing the GOP the 2026 midterm talking points directly. During a rally Tuesday evening in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, President Trump reminded both Republicans and Democrats of just how savvy a messenger he can be when energizing his base. He crushed former President Joe Biden and his administration for overseeing the runaway inflation we are still battling today. He discussed his efforts to bring higher wage jobs to American workers, not illegal aliens. He dismantled Obamacare, highlighting high costs and the trillions in taxpayer dollars given to insurance companies instead of the American people. President Trump went full MAGA. The  message was clear: Republicans, take this message and run with it during the 2026 midterm election cycle. President Trump tore apart Obamacare. He is tired of insurance companies lining their pockets with Obamacare subsidies, and stated once again that he wants that money sent directly to the American people. Imagine being able to use your own money to purchase health insurance instead of those dollars going straight to the insurance companies? For Republicans in 2026, this is a smart policy that could excite the base in an election cycle where President Trump is not on the ballot. Healthcare across America, in many cases, is unaffordable and frustrating. This is certainly an area where the GOP can make up ground with sound policy ideas. President Trump has essentially closed our southern border by the sheer power he wields through the executive branch. The administration has now moved to tackle illegal immigration within our borders, in regards to both deportations and American jobs taken by illegal aliens.  Since President Trump took office, 100 percent of all net job creation has gone to American citizens. That is an amazing statistic that every GOP House and Senate member should be touting on the campaign trail. Not for nothing, but President Trump is also clearly tired of immigrants coming to America who do not care to fully assimilate or share our values. President Trump also announced a permanent pause on third-world migration, “including from hellholes like Afghanistan, Haiti, Somalia, and many other countries.” This is a very smart and, frankly, important policy. During the recent off-year election cycle, many Americans learned for the first time how many third-world immigrants have infiltrated major American cities. This is a winning message and one the GOP should carry into 2026. Finally, the deadly drugs have got to stop flowing into this country. President Trump has taken lethal action that is sure to have every drug boat planning to bring drugs to America second-guessing that decision. For some Republicans who support Trump’s policy but have struggled to properly communicate the importance to their constituents, the president simplified the issue for the entire party.

Today's Headlines: Trump had a chaotic 24 hours — bragging at 3 a.m. on Truth Social that he “aced” his third cognitive test and accusing the New York Times of being “treasonous” for reporting he looked like he was asleep in a Cabinet meeting. By midday he'd moved on to claiming the U.S. seized the “largest tanker ever” near Venezuela, while Pam Bondi posted dramatic helicopter-raid footage with zero clarity on whose oil was involved. Meanwhile, another federal judge ordered the DOJ to unseal all Epstein grand jury records, giving Trump just eight days to release the files he's been promising for years. In other news, the Fed cut interest rates again, six states struck deals with the administration to ban SNAP users from buying junk food, and Congresswoman Nancy Mace introduced a bill to rename Black Lives Matter Plaza after… Charlie Kirk. Over in foreign policy chaos, Rep. Thomas Massie introduced a bill to pull the U.S. out of NATO entirely. Election-wise, Democrats scored more surprise wins: Albuquerque's mayor kept his seat and a Democrat flipped a deep-red Georgia district that Trump carried by 12 points. In tech bro land, Elon Musk hinted that SpaceX is going public next year, OpenAI warned (in its own report!) that its models pose “high risk” for cyberattacks, and Australia officially began its under-16 social media ban. And finally, Marco Rubio ordered U.S. diplomats to ditch Calibri and go back to Times New Roman because vibes.

In Episode 349 of The Kibbe & Friends Show, the crew battles a few Christmas-season technical gremlins before diving straight into holiday tradition: revisiting The Great Santa Claus Chase, the one and only official Christmas episode of The Dukes of Hazzard. Rob, Corndog, and Bernie bring their signature blend of nostalgia, humor, and heart as they walk through why this episode still delivers all these years later—car chases, small-town charm, and classic Hazzard County holiday chaos included. Along the way, they also recap this year's Toys for Tots campaign, revealing how a well-timed triple-match day turned listener generosity into more than $6,700 of impact. The guys then shift gears into full automotive pop-culture mode with an enthusiastic breakdown of the brand-new Travis Pastrana Gymkhana film, shot entirely in Australia and packed with jaw-dropping stunts. From Pastrana's all-wheel-drive Subaru Brat “Bratteroo 9500 Turbo” to the level of cinematography and stunt precision that would make Ken Block proud, the team can't stop raving about it. Add a weather report, some trademark KF tangents, and holiday movie teasing for next week, and Episode 349 becomes the perfect mix of Christmas spirit, horsepower, and pure KF fun. The post K&F Show #349: The Great Santa Claus Chase Returns! Toys for Tots Triumph & Pastrana's Wildest Gymkhana Yet first appeared on The Muscle Car Place.

The nation of Australia has banned social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram for kids under the age of 16. Should the United States of America follow their lead and do the same? Our pugnacious host, Mike Slater, has A TON of thoughts on this subject and you'll want to hear every SYLLABLE out of his mouth on it.After that segment, Slater gabs with the former Governor of Maine, Paul LePage, about his quest to become a U.S. Congressman in his state at the spry age of 78 so that President Donald Trump and the Republicans can keep control of the House of Representatives.

We start this episode by giving an update on 3I/Atlas and what we may be able to see from it within the next few days. We then turn our attention to the US; where there's flooding in Washington, the House just bipartisanly passed an annual $900 billion defense budget, and Florida just listed CAIR as a terrorist support group. We then shift down south to discuss the latest with Venezuela, the Nobel prize recipient that the media wont talk about, and the oil tanker seized by American forces. Speaking of oil, we then shift over to Iraq, where American oil companies have been invited to pick up where the Russian oil companies left off after the Iraqi government kicked them out of the country. Sticking on the middle east, we give an update on Gaza and the situation there, before moving North to talk about the "Raise the Colours" movement that has mobilized to France to assault refugees trying to make their way across the English channel to "seek assylum". We then shift east to the Russian pilots that launched themselves into a concrete hangar roof by ejecting themselves out of a plane...while it was parked inside the hangar. A top secret NATO plan has been revealed, and members have been planning to launch an 800,000 strong offensive against Russia if the war continues westward. Speaking of, Trumps 28 point plan has now been reduced to a 20 point plan, but Putin still doesn't seem willing to come to the negotiation talks. WE continue to the far East, where Japan has had two massive earthquakes rock the country, as well as having Chinese fighter jets lock on to Jpanese air assets over international waters. Next we travel south and discuss the Thailand Cambodia border dispute and how it has reignited in a massive number of scurmishes all along the border. We finish this episode by talking about Australias new federal law that blocks anyone under the age of 16 from ALL social media platforms!To join in on the conversations ext week, go to patreon.com/CajunKnightBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/cult-of-conspiracy--5700337/support.

Gospel On The Nile Cruise - www.cwicmedia.com/gospel-on-the-nile Australia goes bold by banning social media for all kids under 16.

We examine the controversy surrounding Australian Senator Pauline Hanson's repeated political stunt of wearing a burqa in the Senate to advocate for its ban, arguing it poses security risks and contradicts Australia's values of openness and equality,. The discussion questions the authenticity of this move, considering whether it is a genuine fight for women's rights or a **targeted political tactic aimed at Islamic people and immigrants**,. Speakers suggest the act highlights the ongoing struggle against Christian nationalism found within conservative political movements in Australia and elsewhere,. The debate weighs Senator Hanson's own freedom of political expression against the nature of the burqa, which some argue is a forced cultural item that represses women,. Ultimately, the segment explores the tension between religious expression, inherent cultural repression, and political maneuvering designed to target specific marginalized groups,.News Source:get her out-aussie senator's burqa protest causes meltdownBy [Author not provided] for Daily Wire and YouTube[Date not provided]

Social media is awash with nutritional misinformation with foods often cast as superheroes or villains. So how can we separate fact from fiction? And how can we know what posts we can trust? Warning: this programme contains conversations about disordered eating which some listeners may find upsetting. Social media loves to portray some foods, like carbs, sugar and seed oils as villains, to be avoided at all costs.Other food groups like protein are often claimed to be food heroes and some social media influencers tell their followers to prioritise those foods and cut out others. Ruth Alexander looks at the truth of some of those claims and the impact it can have on those who believe them and end up restricting their diets as a result. Cecile Simmons tells Ruth how she "fell down the rabbit hole" and ended up cutting out dozens of foods in an attempt to cure a skin condition. Personal trainer and nutrition expert Michael Ulloa explains how he's made it his mission to fight food misinformation online. Plus Ruth hears from Dr Emily Denniss, registered public health nutritionist and lecturer at Deakin University in Australia, who has studied the spread of food misinformation on social media. And with the help of US based registered dietician Grace Derocha, Ruth separates food fact from food fiction.

This week, Australia made global headlines — and parents everywhere felt it. Justin shares the emotional, history-making moment inside Kirribilli House as the new social-media age laws rolled out, the families whose stories shaped the legislation, and why this shift matters more than most people realise. Plus: the behind-the-scenes chaos of a family holiday that turned into a resilience masterclass. A powerful mix of emotion, insight, and laugh-so-you-don’t-cry parenting moments. KEY POINTS Inside the Kirribilli House event announcing Australia’s new age restrictions for social media. The heartbreaking parent stories that pushed lawmakers to act — and why the room was filled with tears. A rare moment of political unity that left Justin with goosebumps. What this new law actually means for teens, parents, and tech platforms in the months ahead. A family holiday disaster (expired passports, food poisoning, meltdowns, gale-force winds)… turned into a resilience-building win. Why doing hard, screen-free things is the secret ingredient to family connection. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE "This isn’t about politics. This is about our kids." — Prime Minister Albanese RESOURCES MENTIONED Heads Up Alliance Let Them Be Kids campaign Go Rail Trail (Queenstown) ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Talk to your teen about Australia’s new age rules and what they mean for your family. Watch how platforms respond over the next few months — enforcement will evolve. Create screen-incompatible moments: activities that pull kids away from devices naturally.

A Royal Canadian Navy sailor is rescued after going missing -- in the Pacific Ocean; we'll talk to a commander on a ship that got the mayday call. The Alberta government has used the notwithstanding clause yet again, this time to push through laws that will affect young transgender people. A trans advocate tells us it's too much -- and they've gone too far. A Liberal MP says he has concerns about an Alberta-built pipeline -- but Conservative attempts to get MPs like him to break from the federal government aren't going to fly. Australia enacts the world's first social media ban for children under the age of sixteen; one woman tells us that for her son, who has a disability, it's like losing a lifeline. We'll remember Sophie Kinsella, whose "Confessions of a Shopaholic" novels earned her legions of fans. Her editor tells us the author was as special as her books. After we heard about a rank ginkgo tree in a Nova Scotia historic garden, we heard from you about your own gingko struggles -- and how you odour-came them. As It Happens, the Wednesday Edition.

Reaction to Wes Streeting's independent review on mental health, ADHD and autism might divide opinion, but surely we can all agree to be pleased about changes to the law around social media use in Australia.

Have you ever welcomed something new into your life, something you thought would fill you with joy, only to feel guilt instead?In this episode of Sarah's Thoughts, Sarah Grynberg reflects on the unexpected emotions that surfaced when she brought home her new puppy, Maggie. What she believed would be a moment of pure happiness was instead met with guilt, as though she was replacing her beloved Lola, along with a wave of grief and confusion. Through this tender experience, Sarah explores a universal truth: we don't just grieve the ones we've lost, we grieve the seasons of life they held. A past job, a past relationship, even a past version of ourselves can bring the same quiet ache when a new chapter begins.You'll learn:Why new beginnings can stir old grief, and why that's completely normal.How to make space for new love without feeling like you're abandoning the past.Simple reminders to help you move forward gently, without forcing joy before it's ready.This is an episode about understanding that love isn't replaced, it expands. Moving forward doesn't erase what was meaningful.

The author and actor thinks summer in Australia is done bigger, better and weirder than anywhere else. For three months of the year, life slows down and heats up. But for William, summer in Australia is an imperfect paradise where more than anything, people yearn to connect.Summer can be a hellish time in Australia, where temperatures soar and fires can turn bush and buildings to rubble in an instant.But despite the challenges, William McInnes looks upon this time of year with great affection and nostalgia.Growing up in Redcliffe, Queensland, William remembers the heat that burnt through his thongs, the strange ritual of assembling a plastic European Christmas tree on a 40-degree day, and simple moments in the sun like jumping off his dad's shoulders into the cool coastal water.Every summer connects William with his family, his childhood and his past, just like millions of other Australians on riverbanks and beaches around the country.It's a Scorcher: Tales of the Australian Summer is published by Hachette.This episode of Conversations explores seasons, heat, bushfires, Koolewong, weather forecast, drought, BOM, swimming, tennis, Australian Open, Boxing Day Test, Cricket, Ashes, book, memoir, writing, Australiana, Kitsch, climate change, nostalgia, family time, Christmas, holidays, New Year, how to survive the holidays, road trips, vacation, bikini, swimmers, togs, school holidays, parents.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

Merry Christmas from Citizen McCain. Meghan and Miranda were supposed to have Congressman George Santos, but when he tapped out sick, friend of the show Ryan Girdusky swooped in to save the day. The three dive into Tyra Banks' unhinged Santa ice cream performance in Australia, Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet's matching neon Chrome Hearts looks, Jen Shah's early prison release, and why "Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" might be the best reality show on TV right now, with detours into "Sister Wives," "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives," and who actually cashes in on long running shows. Then they pivot to airports and politics, roasting Sean Duffy's "pull ups at the gate" idea, griping about airport inflation and $27 ice cream, and breaking down Trump's Poconos rally comments about prices "coming down," Miami's surprising mayoral result, housing and crime, Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski rumors, and chatter about Kash Patel (potentially) getting fired, and RFK Jr's possible prenatal health push. Meghan also talks through her looming maternity leave, why nothing fits except giant turtlenecks, the latest Douchebag and Darling of the Week, and why the Diddy documentary is so dark they have to save the full review for Monday.

Send us a textDr Martina Zangger's story is one of extraordinary resilience and recovery after childhood sexual abuse, and her message, that shame must be taken from the victim and placed on the perpetrator.Abused at just four years old in Switzerland by her grandfather, a respected judge, and her uncle, a well-known politician, Martina grew up shrouded in silence.Moving to Australia at 12 years old, In her search for healing, Martina fell in love with an Indian guru at 18 years old, and was invited as a mail order disciple to live in his cult in the U.S, provided she paid $8000 for the privilege. So desperate to get to her guru, and with few skills she was talked into becoming a sex worker in Darlinghurst, Sydney at just 19. She eventually made enough money to go to the Ashram but unfortunately all was not what it seemed in 'the brochure!' She was subjected to exploitation and hard labour. Her journey from trauma to survival is confronting but deeply inspiring.Today, Martina holds a PhD, is an Honorary Lecturer at the University of Newcastle, and has spent over 20 years working on the frontline with women and children impacted by sexual assault and domestic violence. This is an AMAZING episode!Support the show
