There's a group of people who felt completely abandoned during our most recent public health crisis: those who suffered Covid-19 vaccine injuries.  It is a rare event, but it happens. During the pandemic those who experienced side effects from Covid-19 vaccinations say they felt deserted by their friends, health services and ultimately, the government, which they believe failed to deliver its promised compensation scheme. Today, reporter for the ABC's Background Briefing Maddison Connaughton on the shortcomings of the Covid-19 vaccination compensation scheme – and what it means for public trust during a future pandemic.

In the back of our minds we all know that there's very little that's real about reality TV… but you might be shocked to discover just how deceptive – and ethically questionable – some of the television tactics really are. So are the humans behind these characters we love to hate really so awful? And how does being cast as a TV villain impact a person's mental health and life outside the show?And a content note: this episode contains discussion of suicide and mental health. Guest: Annika Blau for Background Briefing

Death is something we don't really like to think about. But when you or someone you love becomes ill, it's important to be able to have a conversation about end of life care in a respectful and informed way. Despite being legal, there are still obstacles to accessing voluntary assisted dying or VAD, and because no one likes to talk about it, these issues are often discovered when it's too late. So how can we ensure those who want to make the choice to end their life can do so with safety and dignity?Guest: Annika Blau for Background Briefing

47 years ago, on a warm summer's night in Melbourne, Susan Bartlett and Suzanne Armstrong were stabbed to death in their home in Easey Street, Collingwood. Suzanne's 16 month-old son was asleep in his cot at the time. The double homicide left the community shocked and detectives rattled, as several promising early leads gradually petered out. Eventually, the case went cold. To this day, the Easey Street murders is still one of Australia's most confronting cold cases: a frenzied crime shadowed by strange twists of fact and fate. A million-dollar reward for information has failed to lead to an arrest, no one has ever been charged, and critical questions remain unanswered. Did the young women know their killer, or did they die in a brutal, random attack? Why has their murderer never been found? Journalist Helen Thomas has been investigating Susan and Suzanne's deaths for more than a decade, initially for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Background Briefing programme and then for her book, Murder On Easey Street. Now Helen has delved into the case again for a brand new, original podcast made for Casefile Presents.  In Casefile Presents: The Easey Street Murders, Helen explores the crime and the investigation that followed. She speaks with the young women's family and friends, potential witnesses living in Easey Street who were never interviewed by detectives – and the retired police who were first at the crime scene in January, 1977 and remained haunted by it even now.

This week on Dyl & Friends I'm joined by a special guest, Mahmood Fazal. Mahmood is an award-winning writer and investigative journalist for the ABC's Background Briefing program. You may have seen some of his work on the ABC's Four Corners. Mahmood's story is incredibly unique and he provided a great insight into Australia's underground crime scene. We discussed what goes on behind scenes in criminal gangs as well as the challenges of reporting on people he may have existing relationships with. It's a bit of a different episode, but I think you'll really enjoy this one!
