In this episode, we welcome Professor Ben Saul from the University of Sydney who is the United Nations Special Rapporteur on on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms while Countering Terrorism, and his insights and experience are relevant to exploring the recent state visit of Israeli President Isaac Herzog. What started as an invitation by the Australian government and The Zionist Federation of Australia to enhance solidarity in the wake of the deadly Bondi Beach terror attack has become a point of contention, with both warm welcomes from the vast majority of the Jewish community and angry protests on the streets of Sydney and Melbourne about Israeli actions in Gaza. Professor Saul talks about the recent amendments to laws around the protests; and the issue of criticism of Israel in the context of rising antisemitism and the challenge of ascertaining what is hate speech and what is a legitimate free speech.

For decades, Australian audiences were told what they could and couldn't watch — often with scissors, black ink, and outright bans. From silent films and imported reels to grindhouse classics and modern cinema, Australia developed a reputation as one of the most restrictive film-censoring countries in the Western world.Join Holly & Matthew as they trace the history of Australian film censorship, from early morality laws and customs seizures to the creation of classification boards and the long fight over violence, sex, and “community standards”. Along the way, we'll examine infamous bans, bizarre edits, and the cultural anxieties that shaped what Australians were allowed to see on screen.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weird-crap-in-australia--2968350/support.

This episode explores what high performance really looks like inside two of the most demanding professional sporting environments in the world. Richard Graves is joined by Brendan Fahrner, formerly Head of Sports Science at the South Sydney Rabbitohs, and previously a long-serving performance staff member at Richmond Football Club during one of the most successful periods in AFL history. Across a career spanning AFL and NRL, Brendan has worked inside premiership-winning programs, navigated the evolution of GPS and performance analytics, and seen firsthand how elite sport has shifted from data accumulation to data translation. In this conversation, he strips back the noise around technology and shares why soft skills, trust, and clarity of message ultimately drive performance outcomes. From simplifying GPS dashboards to building credibility with senior coaches, Brendan offers a grounded, practical perspective on what actually moves the needle in team sport. He also speaks candidly about practitioner burnout, self-worth, and why sustainability in high performance careers is just as important as physical robustness in athletes. This episode will resonate with sports scientists, S&C coaches, performance managers and aspiring practitioners looking to build impact in elite environments. In this episode you will learn Why high performance is more about relationships than periodisation How to build trust quickly when entering a new club environment The importance of simplifying data for coaches and athletes How to align performance metrics with a coach's game model Why most GPS reports contain too much irrelevant data How to identify the few variables that truly influence coach perception Practical strategies for athlete-centric monitoring in squad settings The crossover principles between AFL and NRL performance environments How to translate analytics into language players understand Why self-care and professional boundaries matter in elite sport The importance of valuing yourself as a practitioner About Brendan Fahrner Brendan Fahrner is a high performance practitioner with extensive experience in elite Australian sport. He began his career in the early adoption phase of GPS in the AFL, working with Richmond and later Geelong during a period of sustained premiership success. He spent the majority of his career at Richmond Football Club, contributing to three premiership titles and multiple finals campaigns. Most recently, Brendan worked in the NRL with the South Sydney Rabbitohs, applying performance principles across codes and leading athlete monitoring and sports science integration within rugby league. He has developed a strong reputation for simplifying complex performance data, building trust with athletes and coaches, and creating athlete-centred systems in high-pressure team environments.

Have you ever wondered why some Australian families travel overseas for surrogacy? Or been confused by headlines about proposed payments for surrogates and whether that crosses a line?Australia's surrogacy laws have been called "confusing, restrictive, and not fit for purpose." Now there's talk of reform, including monthly payments to surrogates. But it raises questions about whether we're finally acknowledging the labour involved, or creating new problems.In this episode, Dr Renee White explores Australia's proposed surrogacy law reforms and sits with some uncomfortable questions that don't have simple answers. Like whether it's more exploitative to pay someone for nine months of physical and emotional labour, or to expect them to do it for free while the doctors, lawyers and agencies all get paid.This isn't about having all the answers. It's about creating space to think about what fair support and real protection actually look like.You'll hear about:Why 369 families a year go offshore for surrogacy and whether our current laws are protecting anyoneThe thinking behind altruistic surrogacy and why surrogates are the only ones not compensatedWhat the proposed reforms actually include and why people are so dividedWhether we can put a price on pregnancy and who gets to decide what counts as exploitationHow this connects to bigger questions about valuing reproductive labour and care workWhether you've considered surrogacy, know someone who has, or you're just trying to understand this complex issue, this episode offers space to think critically about what we owe to surrogates, children and families navigating this path.Resources & Links

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Liam Garman sits down with Paul Mollica of Wealthkey Property to discuss how he rebuilt a $7.7 million portfolio after a divorce. After losing most of his assets in the separation, Mollica re-entered the market in 2022 with settlement funds and quickly amassed a 14-property portfolio in just over three and a half years, generating more than $370,000 in annual rental income.  He attributes the rapid growth to strategic decision-making, diversified purchasing structures, self-managed super funds (SMSFs), and disciplined risk management, stressing that investors need a clear plan, the right asset selection, and the flexibility to adapt to changing market conditions. Mollica encourages Australians over 50 to consider using equity or savings to invest rather than focusing solely on paying down a mortgage, which can deliver stronger retirement outcomes.  For younger buyers, the duo cautions against purchases driven by the fear of missing out (FOMO), and urges them to prioritise financial education while exploring alternatives such as rentvesting.  Drawing on his experience as a former financial planner, Mollica highlights the importance of integrating traditional financial strategies with property investment.  Finally, Mollica and Garman discuss the buyer's agency landscape, stressing that effective agents focus on client outcomes, market research, and genuine value rather than just sales.
