The room was crowded, the mics weren't perfect, and the mission couldn't be clearer: get Australia's hunting voices into one place and push back on rushed, headline‑driven laws with unity, evidence, and heart. Cody's seed turned into a national roundtable featuring hosts from Wild Origins, Get Outdoors With Drew and Cam, Women Who Hunt, Hunting Connections, In The Dark and Bullet Points, Australian Hunting Backcountry, Nature's Perks, Hunting Republic, and the Australian Hunting Podcast. What followed was a frank, sometimes raw, always focused conversation about protecting a lawful lifestyle that feeds families, fuels regional economies, and keeps ferals in check.We unpack what “four guns” really means for humane shots, competition disciplines, family setups, and the ethics that guide calibre choice. We challenge the proposal to strip appeal rights, knowing due process isn't a luxury in a democracy. We talk national registry pros and cons without ignoring data‑leak scars.and we explain why registering barrels and stocks would swamp understaffed branches for no safety gain. The group calls out media myths and belt‑fed fantasies, then gets practical: short, respectful emails to MPs; signing both NSW petitions; and supporting each other without ego or infighting. Industry voices outline the real cost to retailers, importers, guides, and country towns, while long‑timers share lessons from 1996 and why the public mood feels different today.This is not a culture war monologue; it's a plan built on unity and calm persistence. We ask listeners to act locally, communicate clearly, and check on their mates.

This podcast brings together a coalition of independent Australian podcast hosts from Wild Origins, Get Outdoors With Drew and Cam, Women Who Hunt, Hunting Connections, In The Dark and Bullet Points, Australian Hunting Backcountry, Nature's Perks, the Australian Hunting Podcast and we at The Hunting Republic to engage in a measured, evidence-based discussion on the proposed changes to legal firearms ownership laws in New South Wales and other states.We begin by acknowledging the horrific atrocities that have prompted renewed public debate. We extend our sincerest condolences to all victims, families, and communities affected. Their loss is profound, and it deserves both respect and seriousness in how policy responses are considered.Across a large portion of the Australian public, there is clear agreement on one central point: law-abiding firearms owners are not responsible for acts of terrorism or violent extremism. The hosts united in this discussion contend that altering existing firearms laws would not have prevented the actions of determined terrorist extremists, who by definition operate outside legal and regulatory frameworks.Within this podcast, these issues—and many others—are examined in depth. Together, the hosts seek to present a unified message of solidarity, advocating for rational policy, accountability, and integrity in public discourse. This is a refusal to accept scapegoating in place of confronting genuine governmental and procedural failings, and a call for solutions that are grounded in facts rather than fear.

In this episode of SLP Coffee Talk, Hallie sits down with Kylie Helm — school SLP, private practice owner, and PhD student who's doing the research we all desperately need. Kylie shares how growing up low-SES herself and then working in a Title I school opened her eyes to the massive disconnect between what grad school teaches us and what these kids actually need. She gets real about the dangerous assumptions SLPs make (spoiler: poverty ≠ language disorder), why standardized vocabulary tests are basically useless for this population, and how syntax is actually the diagnostic hero we've been ignoring. If you've ever felt pressured to qualify a student just because they're from a low-income family or wondered how to write a report that says “they bombed the test but don't need services,” this conversation is packed with research-backed truth bombs and practical ways to do better.Bullet Points to Discuss: The myth that every low-SES kid has “bad language” and automatically needs servicesWhy we need to stop using vocabulary scores as our diagnostic smoking gunLanguage samples and test-teach-retest: where the real answers actually liveHow to tell teachers the difference between functional communication gaps and academic language concernsWhen low vocabulary + low syntax = actual red flag vs. just environmental differenceHere's what we learned: Stop assuming multilingual + immigrant + low-SES + busy parents = needs speech therapy.Syntax is ability-based, vocabulary is environment-based—that changes everything about diagnosis.Dynamic assessment (test-teach-retest) shows learning ability, not just current knowledge.Strong syntax + weak vocabulary? Probably environmental. Weak syntax + weak vocabulary? Now we're concerned.Teachers need to step outside their comfort zone too—it's not all on us to adapt.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Learn more about Kylie Helm:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kylietheslpStudy: https://pubs.asha.org/doi/abs/10.1044/2024_PERSP-23-00299 Developing Cross-Cultural CompetenceLearn more about Hallie Sherman and SLP Elevate:

Colleen shares how she went from planning to be a school SLP forever to accidentally falling in love with advocacy work when families kept asking her IEP questions she couldn't half-answer. She gets real about taking a special education law course on Saturdays, why we need to stop treating parent rights like secret information, and how she now runs her own practice doing both speech therapy and advocacy. If you've ever felt stuck answering parent questions or wondered how to actually support families navigating the IEP maze, this conversation is packed with real talk and “yes, you can totally do this” energy.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Bullet Points to Discuss: Why families in private practice were totally lost about basic IEP stuffThe difference between school speech services and what happens in clinicsWhy SLPs need to stop being scared of “getting in trouble” for educating parentsParent education vs. parent advocacy—and when it becomes a whole new serviceWhen to hand families a community resource list (and how to build one that actually helps)Here's what we learned: You'll never get in trouble for objectively explaining educational rights to families.IEP meetings are collaborative—not presentations parents just stamp “yes” on.Early intervention families need extra support understanding what happens at age three.Translation services aren't optional—parents have the right to understand in their native language.Building a resource list takes time, but tackle it during cancellations and it's golden.Parent education is valuable, billable work—don't downplay what you know.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Learn more about Colleen Ashford: Website: www.ashfordspeechandadvocacy.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theadvocate.slp Unfiltered IEPs: Apple | Spotify Right to Translation Freebie: https://theadvocateslp.myflodesk.com/kp4nh8184r Learn more about Hallie Sherman and SLP Elevate:

In this episode of SLP Coffee Talk, Hallie chats with Libby Hill, a consultant speech-language pathologist with over 40 years of experience, about the fascinating connection between pathological demand avoidance (PDA) and selective mutism. Libby shares why students with PDA aren't just being “naughty,” how their brilliant yet challenging language profiles can fool us into expecting too much, and why creating the right environment is everything. You'll learn practical strategies like the “projects on pause folder” and why traditional therapy goals need to flip the script to focus on what the team needs to do, not what the student needs to fix. Whether you're hearing about PDA for the first time or looking to deepen your understanding, this episode reminds us that sometimes the best therapy plan is building rapport and following the student's lead.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Bullet Points to Discuss: How a rain-soaked TV appearance opened the door to specializing in PDAKey differences between PDA and autism with extreme demand avoidanceThe connection between pathological demand avoidance and selective mutismWhy environment and relationship-building matter more than direct goalsPractical strategies like the “projects on pause folder” and flexible choicesHow to support students without triggering demand avoidance​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Here's what we learned: PDA and selective mutism? They're more connected than you think.Getting the environment right beats direct intervention every time.Flexibility and choice look different for every student.Try the “projects on pause folder” - it removes pressure and sparks curiosity.Build rapport without an agenda, and watch progress happen.The right diagnosis matters - wrong strategies can do more harm than good.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Learn more about Libby Hill: Website: www.smalltalk-ltd.co.ukFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/smalltalkspeechandlanguagetherapy Let's Talk Small Talk Podcast: https://letstalksmalltalk.transistor.fm Learn more about Hallie Sherman and SLP Elevate:

In this week's Bullet Points, I take a look at the incredible ‘come back' of Lindsay Lohan. She once was troubled but now she's the most poised star you'll find on a red carpet. It struck me that no one is asking about what happened for her to be able to come back from the brink and that perhaps, because she's now arguably more beautiful than she's ever been, that's enough for people to assume she's well and fully recovered.
