In the Kimberley region of Western Australia, Indigenous First Australians are partnering with researchers and together they are pioneering a revolutionary approach to environmental planning and management, called ‘Caring for the River Country'. By blending ancient wisdom, Indigenous First Law and science with Western science, they're reimagining our relationship with nature and offering a blueprint for global climate action. Professor Anne Poelina at the University of Notre Dame Australia argues that the key to our planet's future may lie in Indigenous knowledge and wisdom, and ways of conceiving of our natural environment as kin.

Preaching for the Solemnity of the Assumption of Mary, Dr. Angela McCarthy offers a reflection on Mary's witness to us to live as a Resurrected people: "God's presence in the world and revelation through the person of Jesus of Nazareth, culminates in the salvation of all creation through Christ's death and resurrection. We are called to live as resurrected people, no longer afraid of the dragons that are both real and imagined, but as people of hope knowing that we follow Mary to a glorious union with God." Dr. Angela McCarthy is an adjunct senior lecturer in theology at The University of Notre Dame Australia based in Fremantle, Western Australia, where she earned her Ph.D. in theology and education in 2007. In addition to her extensive work in academia, publication, and editing, for many decades she has been working in her parish in liturgy and music. She has been married to John for 49 years, has 4 children and 14 grandchildren.

Special Giveaway: For all $5 a month Patreon subscribers, you now have free access to Jonathan's book Monothreeism: An Absurdly Arrogant Attempt to Answer All the Problems of the Last 2000 Years in One Night at a Pub! Euthanasia, the act of ending someone's life in hopes of sparing them further pain and misery, has become an increasingly common practice in Western nations. Already, nations like The Netherlands, Canada, and Australia have programs for carrying it out. But despite its name meaning "good death," is euthanasia morally acceptable? Or have we gone one step too far when we intentionally kill people, even those who are suffering pain and disease? Here to help us wrestle with the issue is Prof. Margaret Somerville, whose decades of work at McGill and Notre Dame Australia have been at the forefront of the debate.

The recent Alabama Supreme Court ruling regarding cryogenically preserved human embryos raises numerous questions about the process of in vitro fertilization (IVF), the moral status of human embryos, the cryopreservation of embryos, the status of embryos as a matter of law, and more.  These are questions that we at The Center for Bioethics & Human Dignity have been addressing for 30 years now. We have a number of resources on our website that speak to these and other questions surrounding reproductive technologies like IVF and the issues that arise from them. For this episode of the podcast, we've chosen a presentation by Dr. Megan Best, an Associate Fellow of CBHD, a Researcher at the Institute of Ethics & Society at the University of Notre Dame Australia, and an honorary Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Sydney. In the presentation, Dr. Best looks at the moral status of the embryo and other ethical issues that arise at the beginning of life, which are especially relevant to the conversations happening in the wake of the Alabama Supreme Court's ruling.  I should also add that our next episode will feature a response by a psychologist and Christian counselor on how we can extend this conversation even further into our churches, so stay tuned for that!  Video version of Dr. Best's presentation: YouTube Alabama, Embryos, and Ethics at cbhd.org CBHD resources on Reproductive Ethics --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cbhd/message

Before you left your house this morning, chances are that you used products and consumed goods that were produced by modern slavery. From the coffee you drink, to the clothes and shoes that you wear, to the phone that you use, modern slavery is a pervasive global problem that encroaches into the daily lives of all of us.  In Addressing Modern Slavery (UNSW Press, 2019), Professor Justine Nolan and Associate Professor Martijn Boersma provide a comprehensive and accessible account of the role of businesses, governments and consumers in the proliferation of modern slavery.

In today's conversation, we spoke about the emergence of corporate social conscience, the work that laws can do, the role that civil society can play, and a need for better enforcement mechanisms which will adequately address modern slavery. This is a really important book about a global phenomenon that is unsustainable. A must read for businesses, governments and consumers.  Professor Justine Nolan is the Director of the Australian Human Rights Institute and a Professor in the Faculty of Law and Justice at UNSW Sydney. Her research focuses on the intersection of business and human rights, in particular, supply chain responsibility for human rights and modern slavery.

Welcome to the 2023 Ramsay – Campion Great Books Podcast Series.The series continues with the second of two conversations on Shakespeare's King Lear — the story of a King who divides his kingdom between two sinister daughters while disinheriting and disavowing the daughter who is most devoted to him.In this podcast Dr Stephen McInerney, Director of the Centre for the Study of the Western Tradition at Campion College is joined by Dr Kishore Saval, Senior Lecturer in the Western Civilisation Program at ACU, together with Professor Renée Köhler-Ryan, National Head of the School of Philosophy and Theology at the University of Notre Dame Australia.This conversation opens on the cliff's edge, with Edgar (‘Poor Tom') and his father, Gloucester. It explores what it means for a child to realise his parent is no longer an authority figure, that the parent has in fact become like the child, and the child like the parent.

We also spoke about why Australia – and New Zealand even more so – seems to be so much more extreme on progressive issues than other parts of the Anglosphere, and the extent to which it is the law, rather than culture, that is driving that.

Moyez believes that we can change outcomes in healthcare today by focusing on how we communicate which is why he gave me a platform to talk about what it's like to live with a terminal illness. I am grateful to him for shining a light on the healing power of doctor-patient relationships and encouraging all of us to lean in, listen and learn.Moyez Jiwa graduated in medicine from Trinity College Dublin (complete with an Irish accent), he trained as a family physician in Scotland, with postgraduate qualifications from Nottingham and Sheffield Universities , UK.

Martuwarra, the Fitzroy River, is located in the Kimberley region of northern Western Australia – renowned and cherished for being one of the last of the world’s isolated, vast and by global standards – relatively untouched by Western development. Of course, like all places that haven’t yet been concreted over by a dominant culture that demands to grow infinitely on a finite planet, Martuwarra, the Fitzroy River, is under threat to be next on the chopping block. But not without a fight! PGAP talks to Professor Anne Poelina, Chair of the Martuwarra Fitzroy River Council and a Nyikina Warrwa Traditional Owner, is a custodian of her family’s connection to Mardoowarra, at the lower end of the Fitzroy River. Through observation and practice of Indigenous ‘First Law’ - the first Australian law embodied the rules for living in coexistence with nature – Anne believes it is possible to transition from a culture of invasive development and exploitation to an entrepreneurial culture of care and custodianship. Thirteen years ago, our then Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said ‘Sorry’ on behalf of the nation to Australia’s Indigenous people. Since then, you could be forgiven for thinking whether any of this apology has sunk in with the various mining, road construction and other ‘business as usual’ industries that continue to plunder sacred lands that were never ceded. In Western Australia, Rio-Tinto blasted the Juukan Gorge caves – 46 000 years of human cultural significance gone in an instant with the help of some explosives. As I was recording this episode, I learnt that Mining giant BHP have recklessly harmed a Banjima sacred site in the Pilbara region in the same state. And don’t think this is a peculiarly Western Australia phenomena - I’ve just today passed Ararat in Victoria, near the sacred Djap Warrung birthing trees are under relentless threat by the state government to be removed in order to widen a road. This absurdity is straight out of the plot-line of a Douglas Adams novel. In the eyes of the dominant neo-liberal culture, nothing is sacred from mining, fracking, road-widening, grazing, water theft – general exploitation. How could it be when Growth on a finite planet is the modus operandi and any other way of being or relating to the land is seen as anti-development, anti-progress, radical and dangerous? Hence – the ongoing and relentless displacement of First Nations people, culture and land, whether we are talking Brazil, West Papua, West China or, indeed, Western Australia. I personally feel that the conversations around Post-Growth, Degrowth and even national population and migration policy are lacking First Nations’ perspectives, both in public discourse and in the literature. However, if you scratch under the surface, I believe there are voices to be heard on these issues. A couple of years ago, I ran a seminar at the Sustainable Living Festival for Sustainable Population Australia (https://population.org.au) with Richie Allen, director of ‘Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation’, titled “Population: Indigenous and Environmental Perspectives”. Richie’s mother Violet ran for the Sustainable Australia Party in the ACT state elections, and it was through SAP connections that Prof. Anne Poelina and I met. It is also interesting that Lowitja O'Donoghue (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lowitja_O%27Donoghue) was once a trustee with SPA. And so, Prof. Poelina and I happen to be united in our position to population and migration policy. I am sure that there is no united ‘First Nation’ perspective on population policy and I could bet that opinions on this topic are as diverse as the 360 language groups that comprised the original custodians of this continent pre-colonization. Yet if we are to ‘de-grow’ and ‘decolonise’, then taking time to listen to Indigenous wisdom, including love, respect and connection to land and water, is absolutely crucial. During the interview, Anne shares with us some insight into Indigenous ‘First Law’ as a way out of the anthropocentric, growthist quagmire we find ourselves in; towards a future of sustainability, stewardship and reconnection with each other, the land, water and life. Following my interview with Anne, I play an excerpt of the musical tour-de-force which is "Yimardoowarra" from Nyikina Warrwa artist "Kalaji". Yimardoowarra means belonging to Martuwarra, the Fitzroy River - such a perfect soundtrack for this episode! You can listen to the entirety of the track on "Kalaji"s artist page here.

None of us want to be fragile. Especially not when it comes to running. So what's the opposite of fragile? "If a glass is fragile, give me an example of something that is not fragile". When Dr Travers asked me I replied "a diamond". If you drop a diamond on the ground, it won't break, but it won't be any stronger for the experience. It's strong, or resilient. However, when we train, we stress our bodies and become stronger for the experience. We're not fragile, we're not even just strong or resilient, we're Anti-Fragile. This is an important concept to grasp when it comes to training for performance, as well as rehabilitation from injury. It's also a vital concept to understand for health and longevity. On the show today, Dr Merv Travers joins me to help us understand this counter-intuitive idea, and it's far-reaching implications for performance and rehabilitation. Dr Merv Travers is a Senior Research Scholar working in the area of low back pain, tendon pain and exercise rehabilitation at the School of Physiotherapy, The University of Notre Dame Australia. He completed his PhD at Curtin University where he also maintains an Adjunct Research Fellow role. His teaching areas include anatomy and exercise rehabilitation. He has a Masters of Manipulative Therapy and is a qualified strength & conditioning coach (Australian Strength and Conditioning Association – Level 2).

What is a Catholic person to do in the face of so much turmoil in public life? Should we retreat, or should we respond by entering more fully into the public square? St. Augustine of Hippo was perpetually preoccupied with such questions. This presentation will explore some of what he has to say, and some of what we can learn from him, about maintaining a spiritual life while becoming involved in matters of public concern. Renee Kohler-Ryan is trained in philosophy and is the Dean of the School of Philosophy and Theology, University of Notre Dame Australia, Sydney. She has a forthcoming book on the thought of St. Augustine and contemporary philosopher, William Desmond, on moral and political philosophy. She teaches in areas of Catholic Thought including Philosophy of the Human Person, Moral Philosophy, and Philosophy of Art. She is writing a book on the Catholic Imagination, to be considered by Catholic University of America Press.

Abstract: We often associate sloth with laziness, but is it possible for a culture to be productive and still be slothful? In this talk, Dr Matthew Tan explores how Sloth is arguably the most pervasive of the deadly sins first by understanding it by its original name, the vice of Acedia. Taking its cue from the writings of the desert father, Evagrius of Pontus, the talk would take a deep dive into what the vices do to the life of monastic virtue, and how acedia acts as a spiritual opiate whose affects are more than just spiritual. It will end by looking at how monastic practice can give us clues into providing new responses to this ancient vice.

Last year the world gained another bombastic populist and nationalist world leader who sent the political elities into another tailspin. In Brazil's 2018 Presidential election Jair Bolsonaro a well-known political maverick beat 11 other candidates breaking centre-left's grip on the nation's politics Bolsonaro was labelled a fascist by the left and international media, in Brazil so far during his Presidency he has introduced free market reforms, reducing the size of the state, rolling back the influence of cultural Marxism on the nation and empowering individual Brazilians. While Bolsonaro was attendance at the G7 late last month in France he copped a serve from President Emmanuel Macron due to the annual wildfires in the Amazon rainforest, Marcon said this was a global environmental issue as the amazon was the lungs of the world. Bolsonaro rebuffed any threat foreign interference over Brazil's sovereignty over the rainforest calling it colonialism and imperialism.  The western media in response posted endless hysterical fake news stories claiming that the Amazon was going to be completely destroy, and that Bolsonaro was basically an environment criminal. Brazil being a Latin American nation with Portuguese its local language it is very difficult for those in the west to know the real story about Bolsonaro's revolution in Brazil and how he is transforming the nation. A friend of The Unshackled who can tell the real story about Brazil's new beginning under Jair Bolsonaro is Professor Augusto Zimmermann. He was born and grew up in Brazil but is most known in Australia for his distinguished legal academic career. He is currently a Professor and Dean of Law at Sheridan College in a Christian Liberal Arts college in Perth, Western Australia.  He is also Adjunct Professor of Law at the University of Notre Dame Australia, Sydney's campus, a catholic university. He has previously been a Law Reform Commissioner with the Law Reform Commission of Western Australian and a former Associate Dean (Research) and Postgraduate Research Director at Murdoch University's School of Law. Professor Zimmermann is also the founder and President of the Western Australian Legal Theory Association (WALTA), a former Vice-President of the Australian Society of Legal Philosophy (ASLP), a Fellow at the International Academy for the Study of the Jurisprudence of the Family, and Editor-in-Chief of the Western Australian Jurist law journal. He is regular columnist in the Australian media in the spectator, quadrant online, news weekly as well as on theunshackled.net. He has also authored four academic books including No Offence Intended: Why 18C is Wrong along with Joshua Forrester. Lorraine Finlay. Plus three volumes of Christian Foundations of the Common Law all published by Connor Court Publishing. Augusto Zimmerman explains Brazil before Bolsonaro which is gripped by corruption and socialism. With Bolsonaro in office the ordinary Brazilians have hope again and want to be free.

This episode features the work of Philippa Cahill et al (School of Medicine, The University of Notre Dame Australia, Sydney, NSW, Australia) who describes a systematic review that examines the evidence supporting family meetings as a strategy to address the needs of palliative patients and their families. The authors found that there was low-level evidence to support family meetings. Only two quantitative pre- and post-studies used a validated palliative care family outcome measure with both studies reporting significant results post-family meetings. Four other quantitative studies reported significant results using non-validated measures. In conclusion the findings demonstrates that there is a paucity of evidence to support family meetings in the inpatient palliative care setting. Further research using more robust designs, validated outcome measures, and an economic analysis are required to build the family meeting evidence before they are routinely adopted into clinical practice. Full paper available from: http://journals.sagepub.com/doi10.1177/0269216316658833
