In the late 1980s and early 1990s, rugby league was a code looking to expand nationally after the success of its premier competition in Sydney. Clubs emerged in Brisbane, Newcastle, and the Gold Coast. Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation took the growth in the sport as an indication it ought to expand even further and plotted a coup, to take the running of the code out of the hands of the establishment - the Australian Rugby League. What followed was a war that ripped the sport apart with Murdoch on one side and the other, backed by another multi-millionaire media mogul, Kerry Packer. It was mogul against mogul, club against club, and players against players. In this episode of Judgements we take a deep dive on how and why the war began - and how the game came back together to form what is now the National Rugby League.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New Zealand isn't the only country to be concerned about falling student literacy rates and the gender gap in academic performance. New Australian research suggests that boys are twice as likely to be at the bottom in literacy and more likely to fall behind once they reach secondary school. But one boys' high school in North Sydney has defied those odds. Once one of the lowest ranked schools in the state, it is now one of the top for English. Principal Paul Sheather explains to Kathryn how a different teaching approach drove this incredible turnaround at Balgowlah Boys Campus.Go to this episode on rnz.co.nz for more details

Michelle chats with Dr Toby Davidson, editor of Francis Webb's Collected Poems, about the comic element in his poetry of the 1940s, 50s and 60s. Webb (1925 - 73) is an enigma, a postwar prodigy respected by some of the loftiest names in Australian poetry - Judith Wright, Gwen Harwood, Les Murray, Robert Adamson - but largely unknown to the general public. 2025 marks 100 years since the poet's birth, and the Francis Webb Centenary will be marked with essays, podcasts and tribute readings to shine a fresh light on this North Sydney genius who astonished his contemporaries with his white-hot talent and fierce questioning of social norms, both of which are immediately evident in his character sketches, Shakespearean clowns and spiky satirical ripostes.    Francis Webb Centenary homepage (hosted by UWA Publishing): https://uwap.uwa.edu.au/blogs/marginalia/centenary-of-major-australian-poet-francis-webb?srsltid=AfmBOooROr-1QfHD21zlUOLgdi1IveEr8AHUiZBW-VA5gVwNxG3SwIU9   Ian Dickson's 2022 recital of 'A Drum for Ben Boyd' from the Australian Book Review podcast, introduced by ABR poetry editor John Hawke: https://www.australianbookreview.com.au/podcast/760-the-abr-podcast/8039-on-the-australian-poet-francis-webb-the-abr-podcast-66

It was an early arrival on a Marine Atlantic ferry, as the newest resident of the Codroy Valley just couldn't wait to make her appearance.

The North Sydney Bears, a defunct memory of rugby league's once die-hard middle class. They were scrapped from the comp in 1999 - as the NRL made it clear there was no room for all these Sydney clubs that cannot win. But a fire still burns. In the hearts and souls of the latent fan base that remember the good times, the near-wins and a rowdy hill at North Sydney oval. One of these True Believers is Sam Perry from The Grade Cricketer Podcast. Pez's family remain loyal to the red and black - whether the team is based out of the North Shore or Western Australia, or the NSW Central Coast.

With the constant delays for Marine Atlantic's new vessel on the North Sydney to Argentia run, tourism services in Placentia have been bone dry. But the boat is scheduled to dock in Argentia this morning. We speak with the Deputy Mayor of Placentia, Wayne Power, about the reprieve this will give business owners. 

You could say the ferry that was set to arrive in Argentia this morning was running behind - nearly a month behind schedule, if you want to be precise. We jest, but the new Marine Atlantic vessel, the Ala'suinu, was making its first official crossing this morning, not a moment too soon for travelers, who had plans to sail on it. The Ala'suinu is on the North Sydney to Argentia run, but its arrival has an impact on the Gulf service to Port aux Basques as well Darrell Mercer is corporate communications manager for Marine Atlantic.

Nature's nurturing side — disabled primates thrive in the wild with community supportSurvival of the fittest for primates in the wild often includes them going out of their way to accommodate those with physical disabilities. In a study in the American Journal of Primatology, scientists reviewed 114 studies of a wide range of non-human primates that spanned more than nine decades. Brogan Stewart, a PhD candidate from Concordia was part of the team that found that more often than not, the physical disabilities arose as a result of human activities, and in the face of those pressures, primates show a remarkable resilience in how they care for those with malformations or impairments.Beetle larvae feeding on dino feathers left signs of that relationship trapped in amberBits left behind from a beetle larvae feasting on dinosaur feathers shed by a theropod became trapped in tree resin that preserved evidence of this relationship for 105 million years. The beetle larvae is related to a beetle that's known to live in birds' nests and feed on their feathers. Ricardo Perez de la Fuente, the senior author of the study in PNAS from Oxford University Museum of Natural History, said finding dinosaur feathers is a find in itself but to find evidence of two organisms in deep time interacting is incredibly rare. Jellyfish demonstrate how it's possible to learn and remember even without a brainA jellyfish the size of a pinky nail can learn to spot and dodge obstacles using their visual system with 24 eyes but no centralized brain. By simulating their natural murky mangrove environment in a lab, scientists discovered how quickly the box jellyfish learned to maneuver around roots in their path. Jan Bielecki, a biologist at Kiel University, said their findings in the journal Current Biology suggest that learning is an integral function of neurons.Bottlenose dolphins sense their prey's electrical fields through their whisker dimplesDolphins were once thought to be acoustic specialists due to their hearing ability and how they detect prey through their reflected pings using echo-location. But when their next meal is hiding in the sand, bottlenose dolphins also seem to be able to hone in on their prey by sensing their electrical fields. Tim Hüttner, a biologist at Nuremberg Zoo, said dolphins likely use echo-location to detect from afar and electroreception to close in on their prey. His research was published in the Journal of Experimental Biology.How documenting the disappearance of the great auk led to the discovery of extinctionBefore a fateful trip in 1858 when two biologists traveled to Iceland in search of the rare penguin-like great auk, the word “extinction” had never been used to describe a species that humans wiped out of existence. After being unable to locate any living great auks, John Wolley and Alfred Newton turned their attention to documenting the demise of this flightless bird. The new book, The Last of Its Kind: The Search for the Great Auk and the Discovery of Extinction, Icelandic anthropologist Gísli Pálsson explores the case that ushered in our modern understanding of extinction. Listener questionChris Corbett from North Sydney asks: If we see the star Betelgeuse, that's 642 light years from Earth, going supernova, does that mean it might have already gone supernova? For the answer, we went to Jess McIvor, an astronomer at the University of British Columbia.
