The jury has reached a verdict in Erin Patterson's murder trial, finding her guilty of three counts of murder and one count of attempted murder.

It’s the biggest trial of the year, and now the most suspenseful, as the jury in Erin Patterson’s triple murder trial enters its seventh day of deliberations. What’s going on? Legal affairs correspondent Ellie Dudley joins us from Morwell in Victoria’s Latrobe Valley. Find out more about The Front podcast here. You can read about this story and more on The Australian's website or on The Australian’s app. This episode of The Front is presented and produced by Claire Harvey and edited by Lia Tsamoglou.

Monkeys are being used for medical research at Monash University in the Latrobe Valley, in this edition of The Conversation Hour, we discuss the ethical consideration around animal testing particularly when it can result in the development of life saving medications.Also, is nine hundred dollars too much to send your child to school camp? School camp operators say they've noticed a decline in the number of school camps and that they are becoming less "immersive." So, just how important are school camps to a child's development and what needs to happen to keep them going?Plus, what is the future of the cemetery? From shallower graves to what we can put on them — we look at the changing face of cemeteries.

Well, this chat was a steep learning curve for the old bogan from Latrobe Valley. In this episode, Gillespo and I discuss the fascinating and complex history of the birth control pill - how a scientific breakthrough, a feminist movement, and a social revolution collided to change the world. But we also explore the unintended consequences, particularly for teenage girls. While the pill has empowered millions, emerging research suggests it may also pose serious risks to mental health, brain development, and long-term reproductive well-being. We dive into the hidden costs of hormonal contraception, why teenage brains are uniquely vulnerable, and whether the medicalisation of puberty is doing more harm than good. Are we too quick to prescribe the pill for acne, cramps, and irregular periods? And what alternatives should young women consider? This conversation is about science, ethics, and the delicate balance between freedom and risk. Whether you're a parent, a doctor, or someone who has taken the pill yourself, this chat might make you think differently about a drug that has shaped modern society. It’s an eye-opening discussion about empowerment, hormones, and the truth behind the tiny tablet that changed everything.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
