Emotional abuse of Australian children is on the rise, becoming the most common form of child abuse. Despite this, new research shows that only half of Australians would report suspected child abuse to authorities. Mental health experts are calling for more awareness of the hidden damage caused by emotional abuse and its profound impact on young lives. - Эмоциональное насилие над детьми в Австралии растет, становясь наиболее распространенной формой жестокого обращения с детьми. Несмотря на это, новое исследование показывает, что только половина австралийцев сообщат властям о предполагаемом насилии над детьми.

You might recognise Don Spencer from his three decades on Play School. That's how most Australians know him. But there's so much more to Don than bears and chairs. He is, as we discovered, one of those people with “stories to tell”. He's toured with the Rolling Stones, flirted with Marianne Faithfull, played hockey with the national Kenyan team, learnt guitar from Roger Whittaker, and had Russell Crowe as a son-in-law. But it's Don's work behind the scenes that will ultimately ensure his legacy. For more than 20 years, Don's been providing free music lessons to Australia's most disadvantaged kids - through the Australian Children's Music Foundation, which he founded – and Future Generation Australia supports. So far, the organisation has delivered almost 270,000 free music lessons.

Guest host, best selling historical fiction author Victoria Purnam chats to literary legend Jackie French about her new release Becoming Mrs Mulberry. Victoria is an Australian top ten and USA Today bestselling fiction author. Her 2022 novel, The Nurses' War, followed her 2019 book, The Women's Pages, was an Australian bestseller, as were her novels, The Land Girls and The Last of the Bonegilla Girls. Her earlier novel The Three Miss Allens was a USA Today bestseller. She is a regular guest at writers festivals, a mentor and workshop presenter across Australia, and her new book A Woman's Work is out in April 2023. Jackie French AM is an Australian author, historian,  ecologist  and honourary wombat (part time), 2014-2015 Australian Children' Laureate and 2015 Senior Australian of the Year. Some of Jackie's books have sold millions of copies and won over 60 awards in Australia and internationally. Others were eaten by the wombats. Jackie writes for adults, young adults, and even younger humans, on history, ecology, and she is patron of literacy programmes across Australia. Her new release Becoming Mrs Mulberry, is about the secrets we carry, those that we unearth - and those that are too dangerous to tell. Once impoverished medical student Agnes Glock is now the fabulously wealthy Mrs Mulberry. Her estate in the mountains is magnificent, a haven for those too ravaged by the Great War to cope with the society that first condemned them to battle and which now shuns them.The War has, however, stolen Agnes's chance to graduate as a doctor, as well as the fiance she adored. Her husband, Douglas Mulberry, remains shellshocked and unable to speak. Their scandalous marriage is a farce, an act of kindness to keep Douglas's fortune from his uncle's grasp.A chance visit to a circus brings about a mystery in the form of a fairylike child whose guardians claim was brought up by dingoes. The child cannot speak and seems deformed. But Agnes is inexplicably drawn to her and believes she can be cured.The decision to save the child will bring Agnes's lost fiance into her life again, as well as awaken the love of her husband who finds his voice as the three try to solve the mystery of the 'dingo girl'.Agnes has put aside her own life and the dreams she once had. But now she has choices, with the main question the hardest: Who is Mrs Agnes Mulberry? This is such a fabulous chat between two accomplished historical fiction authors with so much gold for both readers and writers.
