Podcasts about Rosie Batty

This week's episode is one we're really honoured to bring to you. Our guest is someone with boundless courage and compassion, who has shared some of her most vulnerable moments with the world so that others might feel less alone. Rosie Batty is, as she says, the member of a club no mother wants to join. She lost her 11-year-old son, Luke, in 2014 when he was killed by his father that thrust her into the national spotlight as passionate campaigner on the issue of family violence. In this raw and moving conversation, Rosie speaks with profound clarity about how she found hope in the darkest of places, and what she has learned about identity, solitude, the power of human connection, and cultivating a strong sense of self. Rosie has spent the past ten years tirelessly advocating for social, cultural and legal change, on family violence inspiring millions not just in Australia but around the world. In 2014, she won the Pride of Australia Award and in 2015 was named Australian of the Year. Rosie is not on social media but you can read more about her memoirs, A Mother's Story, and Hope here. If you or someone you know is experiencing family violence, call or visit 1800RESPECT (in Australia) or contact your local support organisation. To stay in touch with Well Enough Alone, you can follow us on Instagram @wellenoughalonepod or @jillstark__ or support the show and get subscriber-only, early and ad-free episodes on Patreon. Well Enough Alone is a Spare Room production.

Something To Talk About is continuing to publish across the summer break, and will be back with a brand new episode on January 12. In the meantime, we are revisiting some of your favourites from the 50 episodes we released released over the past year. Today’s conversation is with Rosie Batty, which originally aired March 16, 2024. *** Ten years after her son Luke Batty was murdered by his father, Rosie Batty continues her tireless campaign to raise awareness about domestic and family violence. But perhaps even more remarkably, she has managed to find hope in the aftermath of such an unimaginable tragedy. On today’s episode of Something To Talk About, Rosie sits down for a powerful conversation in which she reflects on the complexities of grief, as well as her memories of Luke, the beloved son she lost when he was aged just 11. She also speaks about what needs to be done in bringing an end to domestic and family violence in Australia, and explains how she was able to rediscover hope - even joy - after enduring the worst day of her life. If you have experienced or at risk of family violence, you can call the national counselling service 1800RESPECT.

In 2014, 11-year-old Luke Batty was murdered by his father at Tyabb cricket ground on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula.  The following year a coroner ruled that no one could have predicted that Luke would be killed by his father, but the inquest did point out several gaps in the family violence system in the lead-up to his death.  Ten years on, Luke's mother Rosie remains on the frontline campaigning for change.

John Setka (born September 1964) is an Australian trade unionist. He is secretary of the Victorian-Tasmanian division of the Construction, Forestry, Maritime, and Energy Union which also administers the South Australian division under a temporary arrangement. He is a controversial figure in the Australian trade union movement. He is known for his strong support at a grassroots level, especially among the rank and file of the CFMMEU. His supporters regard him as a strong advocate against political, legal, and industrial opponents; the national secretary of the union, Christy Cain has called him one of the "most fair dinkum union people in this country". On the other hand, Setka's political opponents have derided him as a bully, and criticized his purported stance that it can be necessary to break the law to pursue union interests. He has also faced strong criticism for alleged public remarks on the topic of domestic violence, and a guilty plea for harassing his ex-wife via text, issues that contributed to his formal expulsion from the Australian Labor Party in 2019. In recent years Setka's personal life has been the subject of considerable media attention. His marital breakdown, and associated legal issues, have led to additional public criticism. John Setka was born to a Croatian family. His father was a labourer named Bob Setka, who survived the West Gate Bridge collapsein 1970, one of the worst industrial accidents caused by employer negligence in Victoria's history. Setka began working as a labourer at the age of 19. He began involvement with trade unionism first after joining the Builders Labourers Federation. He was mentored by state secretary John Cummins. Under John's leadership, media commentators have noted the "pervasive power of the CFMEU over construction companies". In 2012 he unsuccessfully attempted to sue the opposition leader Tony Abbott in defamation after Abbott called him a thug. In 2015, Setka encouraged workers within the Rail, Tram and Bus Union to strike during the Australian Football League finals to "use finals fever to their advantage in their bitter industrial fight with Metro Trains and Yarra Trams". The decision was criticised by Victorian Labor minister Jacinta Allan due to the strike's impact on businesses. Setka openly criticised the former prime minister Kevin Rudd in 2018. During a speech, he said: 'he's one of the worst fucking Labor PMs we've ever had ... (because) ... he kept the ABCC and coercive powers and he wants to talk about workers and the trade union movement.' Setka is known for his public condemnation of the ABCC and its staff. In 2017 he publicly threatened to target the home addresses of building watchdog inspectors and lobby local footy clubs so their "kids will be ashamed of who their parents are". These comments were controversial. On the other hand, he is regarded by many in the union movement, especially in the industrial left faction; to be a robust and genuine union activist. He has in the past had strong support from Luke Hilakari, among other prominent leaders in the trade union movement. In August 2022 a unanimous ballot at the South Australian branch of the CFMMEU brought about a co-operative administration arrangement between that branch, and the Victorian-Tasmanian division led by Setka. In 2015 Setka was arrested and forced to appear in court to face blackmail charges. On the day of his court appearance, around 2,000 CFMEU members and other unionists gathered outside the Melbourne Magistrates' Court on 8 December to show their support. Three years later, the Victorian prosecution office dropped the charges, a decision that the Magistrate Charles Rozecwajg described in court as 'very sensible. Setka spoke outside of court saying that he had been the victim of a witch hunt. He later sued a group of executives from the company Boral, successfully obtaining a settlement after alleging they conspired in the tort of malicious prosecution. Expulsion from Labor In June 2019 John attended a meeting of his union's national executive. It was reported by The Age that during that meeting, he made comments to the effect that the work of Rosie Batty had left men with fewer rights. Setka publicly denied that he made the comments. Following the reporting of these comments, the Australian Labor Party leader Anthony Albanese proposed to expel Setka from the Labor Party. John publicly objected to this attempt at expulsion and claimed that there was "dirty politics at work". He made an implicit claim that he was the victim of a witch hunt, driven by his "view of where the union should be in regard to the ALP, and some people probably don't share that view". Reactions to John's behavior and his potential expulsion were mixed. The CFMEU Victoria branch (that he controlled) threatened to cut financial support to the ALP if he was expelled.  The NSW and WA branches also expressed their support. Numerous politicians, as well as the ACTU secretary Sally McManus called on John to step down. Additional pressure upon John arose after the Senate crossbencher Jacqui Lambie threatened political blackmail, making a demand that he steps down or she would vote for a bill strongly opposed by the union movement. This threat was made during a lunch invitation at her Tasmanian house. In the midst of these events, John pleaded guilty to using a carriage service to harass a person in the Melbourne magistrate's court. The victim was identified as his wife at the time, Emma Walters. Following this, more than a dozen individual unions, including the three biggest in the country, renewed their calls for Setka to step aside. Some factional allies of Setka, like the then head of the RTBU Luba Grigorovitch , maintained their support. In July, John applied for an injunction at the Victorian Supreme Court to stop the expulsion decision. He argued at court that the ALP national executive didn't have the legal power to expel him, and that it was instead a matter for the Victorian State party branch. The court decided in August 2019 that the motion to expel Mr. Setka was 'outside the court's jurisdiction', and that it 'could not interfere with internal decisions of voluntary unincorporated associations'. In October he commenced an appeal of this decision, before withdrawing. After its withdrawal, the ALP immediately expelled him.  

Less a year after Rosie Batty's son Luke was murdered, she was awarded the title of Australian of the Year in recognition of her advocacy for domestic violence victims.

The longest serving media professional that has been attending the Melbourne #MeetTherMedia from its inception is our next guest on #TheExpertsPodcast. In fact, she has is only second to Nic who has hosted every one of the 35 events that have taken place since 2015. The reason our television journalist is always on the cards is because for years she has been voted as the giving and informative journalist to our experts and attendees of this unique and amazing event. Kristy Mayr is a Channel Seven journalist for both news and Weekend Sunrise. You can't miss her, and she will be a regular that you will identify the minute you see her. Kristy covers the light, moderate and hard stories that is put in front of her and listening to her recall the moment that she was first on the scene for the Rosie Batty story. You can hear the pain and the concern for the mother that has lost her son to domestic violence and murder. Kristy delivers so much great advice through the podcast on what experts can expect for the news. The tips are so straight forward that anyone can apply that to their media. The most appealing characteristic of Kristy is that she is so human in her approach to everything. The perception that media professionals are angry, cynical, and heartless is so further from the truth with Kristy. She is a mum, a wife, a fantastic storyteller and so giving. If you have ever been to #MeetTheMedia Melbourne, you will have met Kristy along with dozens of other fantastic journalists from Victoria. There is a saying when you are on a good thing stick with it and I like to think that with Kristy and you get the feeling she feels the same when it comes to educating, meeting, informing the experts of tomorrow. Nic is fully aware that he is not supposed to have media favourites, but I think you will find that Kristy is up the top somewhere.

In the final episode for this series, we talk to the amazing Rosie Batty AO. Rosie became a household name in Australia for all the wrong reasons. After her beloved son, 11 year old Luke was brutally killed by his father at a cricket game in 2014, Rosie faced the media and in a spell binding delivery sent the nation a message we needed to hear: “Family violence happens to everyone. No matter how nice your house, how intelligent you are. It can happen to anyone and everyone.”Thrown into the spotlight, Rosie tirelessly dedicated herself to raising awareness of Australia's hidden epidemic of violence against women. In 2014 she established the Luke Batty Foundation to assist women and children. She then played a major role in establishing Victoria's Royal Commission into Family Violence, and had a leading hand in the National Plan to Reduce Violence Against Women and their Children. In 2015 Rosie she was named Australian of the Year. At the time she said she was, “the person no one wants to be, the mother who has suffered the insufferable.”Rosie's tireless advocacy has taken her around the nation and to international forums, including the UN. In 2016 she was ranked 33 in a list of the World's Greatest Leaders by Fortune Magazine. In 2019 Rosie was made an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO).But all this selfless advocacy and passionate effort comes at a cost. In this powerful discussion for our Changemaker series, Rosie opens up about what her life has been like since that fateful day her son was murdered. We discuss the highs and lows, including the painful collapse and eventual closure of the Luke Batty Foundation. But with failure comes wisdom, and in typical Rosie style she is beautifully generous and open in sharing what she has learned.

It was February 12, 2014, a hot summer evening, and eleven year old Luke Batty was at cricket practice on a sports oval in the Melbourne suburb of Tyabb. With blue eyes and dark blonde hair, Luke had just started Year Six. He was happy and empathetic, a best friend to his single mother Rosie.  Rosie was on one end of the cricket ground, and his father, Greg Anderson was at the other.  After speaking to his father, Luke ran back over to Rosie and said: “Oh mum, I haven’t seen dad for a while. He’s asked me if I can have a few extra minutes.” Rosie remembers thinking, “Aw that’s nice.” She had invited someone over for dinner, and Greg had coaxed Luke over to the cricket nets. Suddenly, the park stood still in response to a sound of anguish, unlike anything they’d ever heard.  Her former partner, in what felt like the blink of an eye, struck his son with a cricket bat before stabbing him to death.  In the hours following, Anderson resisted arrest and threatened paramedics with his knife. Police had no choice but to shoot. He died in hospital from both gunshots and self-inflicted stab wounds.  What happened to Luke is a story that haunts Australia more than seven years later. In response, his mother Rosie Batty has dedicated her life to campaigning for domestic violence reform and has fundamentally changed the conversation about family violence.    CREDITS Guest: Rosie Batty Host: Jessie Stephens Producer: Gia Moylan Audio Producer: Ian Camilleri   CONTACT US Tell us what you think of the show via email at truecrime@mamamia.com.au   Join our closed Facebook community to discuss this episode.

Sadly it was a tragedy that brought mother Australian of the Year Rosie Batty into the limelight.On an otherwise ordinary day in early 2014 her only child, Luke, an effervescent 11-year-old, was at cricket practice when he was killed in front of her by his father. It was a brutal, incomprehensible act, carried out amidst children playing sport on a summer's day, and it shocked a nation.24 hours later she bravely stood before the press determined to bring family violence into the public arena. Surrounded by microphones and media outlets she spoke.“Family violence happens to everybody, no matter how nice your house is or how intelligent you are. It happens to anyone and everyone, and this has been an 11-year battle.”At that moment. she woke Australia up to the complexities around domestic violence. The scourge of a mentally ill father and a family court battle ended up in a tragic loss of life. This month the domestic violence horror trail featured in the media again.Despicable, beyond comprehension.More than 35,000 defendants faced court last year charged with breaching domestic violence ­orders - one of the key mechanisms for protecting victims of abuse. And while 87 percent were convicted, most received a non-custodial sentence.Advocates called for a tougher response as it emerged Queensland mother-of-three Kelly Wilkinson, allegedly burnt alive by her estranged husband in her backyard, and nine-month-old Kobi Shepherdson, taken by her father over a dam wall in South Australia, were both the subject of court orders.But For Rosie In the midst of her sorrow, her Australian of the Year appointment became a lifeline for the only survivor of her family. “Being Australian of the Year gave me a sense of purpose and meaning that I could just immerse myself in. I would have otherwise sat alone not knowing how to earn an income. It gave me the direction I'd never had before,” “People would say, ‘You need to make time to grieve' and I would find that irritating because I thought, ‘I can't bear any more pain'. Every day I would cry. So if this was a distraction I welcomed it.”Looking back at what she has achieved in her years of advocacy against family violence she reflects “I made it a mainstream conversation, It was something that we had probably always known in society but we never talked about it. It was like this secret no one could talk about. That was a conversation that changed everything.”Its clear Governments have a key role to play in strengthening this national approach.It is critical that this new plan provides an ongoing road map for a continued, long-term, coordinated, and truly national approach to preventing and responding to this violence. If these issues raise issues for you or a loved one please call 1800RESPECT

Back with another wonderful guest today – I've pushed this week's Yays of our Lives episode back a little bit until the Gippsland video is ready to help you put faces to names, so that'll be out next week. Content warning: this episode covers family violence. This week, I was lucky enough to sit down with Rosie Batty, 2015 Australian of the Year and passionate campaigner against domestic violence during a week where the alarming statistics surrounding violence against women have been brought back to the forefront of our attention. Rosie has turned the unfathomable personal tragedy of losing her son Luke who was murdered by his father in 2014 into a relentless fight to raise awareness of family violence and address the systemic and many other obstacles to positive change. The topic is a little heavier than usual, but I believe it's such an important conversation to continue in order to amplify the fact that one woman a week is still killed by her partner or former partner. Rosie also has such powerful insights on rediscovering joy through the paralysis of grief, unravelling her identity from trauma which is not the totality of who she is and I loved also having the chance to get to know about the parts of her story that I hadn't heard about in the media. Rosie is also an ambassador for L'Oréal Paris' new Women of Worth campaign and we also chat about some of L'Oréal's amazing Self-Worth Commissioned Research about the pervasive and destructive nature of self doubt and low self esteem among women. If anyone will inspire us all to combat the self doubt and continue to raise each other up, it's Rosie. I hope you are as moved by her as I was.

In an age increasingly defined by accusation and resentment, can forgiveness play a more powerful role? Law Professor Martha Minow asks us to consider the big questions: who has the right to forgive? And who should be forgiven? Individuals and societies have the right to withhold forgiveness, but can letting go allow for grievances to impact us less? Forgiveness does not change the past, but it can transform the future. Martha Minow, Harvard Law Professor and human rights expert, in conversation with leading UNSW Law Professor George Williams will explore how we think about forgiveness. - Since 2012 the annual Gandhi Oration has been hosted by UNSW Sydney to celebrate the legacy of Mahatma Gandhi as a champion of human rights. The event features discussions of the significant human rights issues of our time. Past speakers have included Senator Pat Dodson, Peter Greste, Pat Anderson, Shoma Chaudhury Reverend Tim Costello, Rosie Batty and Shen Narayanasamy.

Rosie Batty let the media into her life when her ex-partner killed their 11-year-old son Luke in 2014. She chose to turn a personal tragedy into a catalyst for change, learning to play the game to galvanise support for a national campaign against family violence.Music credits:Theme: Epic Adventure by BlueBirdSoundLong Note Two by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/3994-long-note-twoLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseBreaking News 5 by Sascha EndeLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/5973-breaking-news-5License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseDon't Die on Me - Myuu - thedarkpiano.comCountdown - Myuu - thedarkpiano.comTroublemaker Theme - Myuu - thedarkpiano.comWhat Could Have Been - Myuu - thedarkpiano.comCountdown - Myuu - thedarkpiano.comOutsider - Myuu - thedarkpiano.comBreaking News 3 by Sascha EndeLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/5952-breaking-news-3License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseWatching The World by Philip RiceLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/6824-watching-the-worldLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseHopes And Dreams by chilledmusicLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/7059-hopes-and-dreamsLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseBeginning Of Conflict by Rafael KruxLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/5288-beginning-of-conflict-License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseHere And Now by Rafael KruxLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/5658-here-and-now-License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseHalf Mystery by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/5026-half-mysteryLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseHeroes In The Sky by Rafael KruxLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/5356-heroes-in-the-sky-License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseMedia credits:Content supplied and/or licensed for use courtesy of Nine Entertainment Co (incl.

In her long career as a journalist, Dr. Fiona Reynolds reported on the Thredbo landslide, interviewed Bruce and Denise Morcombe, who sacrificed their privacy to appeal for help in the search of the son Daniel, and spoke with Rosie Batty, who became the face of change in the move against domestic violence after an unfathomable tragedy. “I had seen many, many people throughout that time suddenly go from being anonymous to an overnight headline; their lives poured over, their personal lives made public.” says Reynolds. “And I'd started to wonder whether these people had anything in common, whether there were any similarities, and how their experiences may have differed. The idea became her thesis, and led her to interviewing ordinary people who became household names in Australia. When her thesis was complete, she knew she wanted to share these stories.

Bryce was at the end of a two-year working visa in the UK working for SkyNews when he decided he wasn't quite ready to come home.  He was working for the entertainment desk and one day when habitually swapping his copy of “Heat” magazine for the finance desk's copy of the “Economist” he stumbled on a job ad for a role that “no one ever gets”.  He applied anyway, took a sick day and a Eurostar to Paris and the next ten years, as they say, are history.    Over the next decade, on top of working for the International Chamber of Commerce as the Director of Communications, he met his wife, a professional dancer with the Moulin Rouge. Originally from Brisbane, his wife had already been in Paris for many years and like Bryce, initially thought she would end up with someone a ‘bit more exotic' rather than a fellow Aussie but love in the City of Lights had other ideas.   Together they built a life in Paris, also writing books about their experiences, before returning home ten years later with two children (with French passports) in tow.   Arriving back into Sydney, Bryce recounts enormous culture shock, somewhat brought on by trying to adjust to the light and heat of an Australian summer after 12 European winters.  He talks about the first few months of uncertainty, the feeling of ‘what have we done?' and how quickly the rose-coloured glasses for Paris were put on.   He was fortunate to have secured a job as Executive Editor of the Woman's Weekly before returning home - but it wasn't easy. He describes during the job search, many conversations with people who seemed to ignore or discount his 12 years abroad, preferring to talk about the last job he had in Australia.  He said it was like his career and life overseas had been ‘paused' in the minds of many people.   Fortunately, Bryce's time in Paris had taught him the power of reinvention and resilience.   After the Women's Weekly, Bryce continued his journalism career with stints at the AFR and 60 Minutes and now is a strategic communications adviser for Domestique Consulting co-author of Unmasked Turia Pitt and A Mother's Story by Rosie Batty plus the host and creator of Squiz Kids.   He and his family now live in Brisbane where they have settled and got used to the light.

How do we find the strength to move forward after tragedy? No-one could possibly teach us more on the subject than Rosie Batty, former Australian of the Year, bestselling author and domestic violence campaigner who lost her son Luke in a violent attack in 2014. Joining Sarah in this unmissable conversation, together they discuss the power of love,  surviving the trauma of losing her son, and choosing faith instead of hate. If you've experienced a great loss in your life, this episode will show you that finding courage and resilience is possible, and that a path to true healing exists.   Follow Sarah: Instagram: instagram.com/alifeofgreatnesspodcast Website: https://sarahgrynberg.com/ Facebook: facebook.com/sarahgrynberg Twitter: twitter.com/sarahgrynberg YouTube: youtube.com/sarahgrynberg See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Bounce Back, Andrew talks to prominent Australians about major challenges that have been thrown their way, and how they've overcome these difficulties on the road to success. In this episode Dr. Rochford speaks with Rosie Batty. The loss of a child is every parent's worst fear. That fear became a reality for Rosie Batty. In February 2014 Rosie's Eleven Year-Old Son had just finished cricket practice with his local team at a park on the outskirts of Melbourne when he was brutally murdered by his father.  It was the culmination of years of violence and abuse, most of it directed at Rosie. The day after the horrific attack Rosie spoke out in the media about Family Violence. From that day on, she has been one of the most prominent and successful campaigners on the issue in Australia's history. Rosie played a key role in the establishment of Victoria's landmark Royal Commission into Family Violence. In 2015 she was named Australian of the Year for giving voice to many thousands of survivors who had not been heard, for rising above personal tragedy and the great loss of her son, Luke, jolting Australia into recognising that Family Violence can happen to anyone. On a list that included The Pope, Fortune Magazine named one of it's Top 50 World's Greatest Leaders and she has been inducted into The Victorian Honour Roll of Women. In 2019, Rosie received an Order of Australia. This series will feature some of Australia's most recognised sports men and women, prominent businesspeople and well-known politicians, allowing them to tell their story, in their own words. Bounce Back is about promoting well-being and good mental health, by showing that even in the most difficult of times, there are people who you can turn to for support - whether they're mates, family, colleagues, professionals even your neighbours. It's about how to look after yourself when things are tough, believing in yourself and knowing you can come through it even stronger.  Dr. Andrew Rochford is a proud ambassador for DrinkWise, which is sponsoring this podcast.

Following the death of her son, Luke, in 2014, Rosie has been instrumental in successfully influencing an unprecedented national focus on family violence at both a political and societal level. Rosie was named Australian of the Year in 2015 and continues to speak passionately about family violence, challenging everyone across communities around Australia to be part of the change that needs to happen.

February 12, 2014. Tyabb, Australia. Eleven year old Luke Batty was at cricket practice when he spotted his father. He was excited because his parents had split and he didn't see his dad that much. Rosie Batty, his mom, had ensured that any visits Greg Anderson had with Luke were supervised. Greg had been an abusive partner but had not been abusive towards Luke. But on February 12th, 2014, Greg Anderson would do the unthinkable in a public place with a number of witnesses looking on. Join us as we discuss a heartbreaking case involving family violence, a mother's drive to protect her son, and a story that reminds us of just how little control we really have.

Despite taking steps towards becoming a more equal and inclusive society for all, Australia has a problem with human rights. Indigenous Australians are the most incarcerated in the world. More than one woman is killed every week by a partner or former partner. Over half of Australians living with a disability lack access to support services they need. The proposed Religious Discrimination Bill threatens to undermine inclusive workplaces for LGBTQI+ people.   Fighting to address these issues are five fearless human rights champions. From the Australian voice to the United Nations for people living with a disability, to leading the #KidsOffNauru campaign which saw every child detained offshore brought to Australia, their resumes are enviable and inspiring portfolios of human rights advocacy.    Rosie Batty has been a tireless crusader against family violence since her son Luke was murdered by his father in 2014. Turning her personal tragedy into a fight to help others, she was named the Australian of the Year in 2015, received an Honorary Doctorate from the University of the Sunshine Coast in 2017 and more recently received an Order of Australia.

Author and Sex Therapist Bettina Arndt has been awarded an OAM for her services to "gender equity through advocacy for men".  So why has this award caused so much controversy? Why are domestic violence advocates like Rosie Batty angry? And, who decides how the Australia Day honours are distributed?  Warning: this podcast contains discussion of sexual assault and sexual abuse.

The ALP was fine with CFMEU thug John Setka threatening ABCC workers, fine with decades of abuse of employers, fine with millions in fines, fine with yelling abuse at a women over a phone, fine with dozens of charges, but the final straw was when John Setka said Rosie Batty was diminishing the rights of men.

Viv McGrath shares her story of how she survived a domestic violent relationship when she was a young mother. She wants us to know that there is life after abuse and how she was able to break the cycle. Viv was inspired by Rosie Batty and her courage when her son was killed by his father at cricket training in Australia. Channel 7, Australia has kindly shared a news clip with us of Rosie being interviewed after the event. Viv has written a book Unbeatable: (How I left a violent man), her memoir of how she survived an abusive relationship and how she broke the cycle of violence. Viv turned her life around to become strong, fearless and successful. She has a blog where she covers all aspects of domestic violent relationships and helps others in the process. We discuss manipulation tactics, narcissism, gas lighting and the “dysfunctional dance (men do) to see if they can test your boundaries.” Viv shares the importance of noticing the warning signs and trusting your instincts as it is very easy to get “locked into this very unhealthy and addictive dynamic.” She shares advice for those who are in a similar situation and her greatest takeaways from her own experiences. Viv talks about how she had to overcome the shame of being caught in this dangerous situation and gives us some top tips for loving ourselves, building self esteem, not listening to that inner voice and overcoming that shame. This is courageous and honest account of a very harrowing and deeply personal experience. A story not to be missed. Warning: Some listeners might find this podcast disturbing.

Rosie Batty Special Edition...Rosie Batty never thought she'd have children. The death of her mother when she was 6 years old left her feeling traumatised and hesitant to be close to people. Having her son Luke changed everything for the better, but her relationship with his father Greg Anderson, turned violent and very dangerous. What ensued was a decade of terrifying family violence and failure after failure by the authorities in Australia who were meant to be protecting them from it. It took the ultimate tragedy and an unthinkable amount of courage and grace to shine a light on the epidemic of family violence in this country, and finally force the authorities to make changes to how these issues are handled. If you would like to know more of Rosie's story, read her book “ A Mother Story”. It really is quite remarkable. Here's a linkAfter accepting her “Australian of the Year Award” in 2015. Rosie made an amazing speech. Here's a link to a video.If you feel you are affected by family voilence. You are not alone.

Could you think of a single word that you most identify with? The 200 Women project asked amazing women from around the world to do just that. Can you guess what they said? We’ll give you a hint – love, trust, hope and courage. Listen in to hear why. In this episode, you’ll hear from: Ronni Kahn, the founder of food rescue organisation OzHarvest. Vidya Balan, a Bollywood actor and human rights activist. Eva McGauley, an anti-sexual violence activist. She has been diagnosed with terminal nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Jessica Gallagher, a vision-impaired Paralypian who was the first Australian to win medals at both the Summer and Winter Paralympic Games. Anita Heiss, an author, and advocate for Aboriginal visibility in literature. Nicole Tung, an award-winning photojournalist whose friend and colleague, James Foley, was executed by Islamic State. Susan Carland, a writer, sociologist and academic. She converted from Christianity to Islam at the age of 19. Sharon Brous, a leading US-based rabbi. Collette Dinnigan, Australian-based fashion and interior designer. Rosie Batty, an advocate and campaigner against family violence following the murder of her son, Luke, by his father. Dolores Huerta, a labour activist and community organiser. She was awarded the American Presidential Medal of Freedom. Andrea Mason, indigenous rights activist. Sahm Venter, a journalist and author. She currently holds the role of senior researcher at the Nelson Mandela Foundation.

A new perspective is a hard thing to gain, but when found, its lessons are never forgotten. The 200 Women project discovered new perspectives on trauma, religion and acceptance. Truly eye opening. In this episode, you’ll hear from: Embeth Davidtz, an actor and breast cancer survivor. Miranda Tapsell, an actor and Indigenous rights activist. Rosie Batty, an advocate and campaigner against family violence following the murder of her son, Luke, by his father. Susan Carland, a writer, sociologist and academic. She converted from Christianity to Islam at the age of 19. Joanne Fedler, an author and writing mentor. Based in Australia, she was born in South Africa. Divya Kalia, a businesswoman and co-founder of an app-based bike-taxi service founded to specifically employ female drivers to accommodate the cultural considerations of female passengers in India.

One in four children in Australia are exposed to domestic violence, with behavioural, cognitive and emotional development implications. Rosie will discuss ways to recognise behavioural symptoms of such exposure and how to support young people experiencing the effects of domestic violence.

"We try to pose ourselves impossible questions." - Emma Valente In the episode four of season four, on queer performance, Jana and Beth are joined by the extraordinary Emma Valente of the performance collective The Rabble. Self-described as "an on-going conversation between its Artistic Directors Kate Davis and Emma Valente about aesthetic, space, gender, theatre and representation", since 2006 The Rabble have created a small, but distinguished body of work. Their eleven performance pieces to date always put the female experience at its centre: sometimes through excavations of our iconographic unconscious, sometimes by shredding to bits canonical texts such as The Picture of Dorian Gray or Story of O. Today we talk about feminism, iconography, and queering our visual heritage. "Yes, I think [the canon] is male-dominated, without even getting into the content, and what gaze it sits through. The repetition of the male voice over and over again through history, and then legitimising it, is undoubted." - Emma Valente The Rabble are, without any exaggeration, one of the most important contemporary performance outfits in Australia. Their work has been a study of all sorts of feminine outside of the narrow confines of the Australian norm, becoming more radical in parallel with the increasingly uncompromising tone of Australian feminism. In 2012, a mere fortnight after Julia Gillard's by-now famous Parliament speech against Tony Abbott's misogyny, Alison Croggon saw The Rabble's Orlando and wrote: "It's not that a work like this makes everything better; it manifestly can't. It's not that it teaches you anything that you don't know; it doesn't. It's that it is something. An uninhibited howl of laughter. A scream of grief. A forthright act of unshamed beauty. Female desire in all its violence, perversity and monotony, its repetitive assault on the self, its redemption, its dolour, its breath-taking, liberating lust for life. Orlando is, most of all, a work of theatre: a performance that explodes, with the white-hot fission of its full meaning, into the present moment." Listen to Emma as she gives a huge shout-out to the feminist queer art of our times, from post and Zoe Coombs-Marr to Zoey Dawson and Rachel Perks. Discussed in this episode: queer as advertisement or queer as a political project, our visual commonplaces, violence against women as always true and inevitable, Rihanna and Rosie Batty, masculine and feminine ways of making art, having an ensemble, cages and liberation, Alison Croggon, the 'fuck it' moment in making art, the rise of the Melbourne indie scene, rolling pins, how pornography can be so, so boring, having a coffee with anyone who asks, Story of O, the importance of context in staging a provocative work, and how backing an artist means giving them three shots. "There's so many boundaries. If you look at the kind of work that is on the big stages, from what was happening five years ago, it's pretty similar. There has been slight shifts in acceptance of form, perhaps, and slight shifts in ideas of who can be at the centre of the work, what is interesting content, and there's been many many things contributing to that shift, but I think it has been slight. When the funding crisis happened, with Brandis, there was a shrinking of courage to try new things. And I think that people of colour, and women, and queer work, got pushed out to the edges again. They're being incorporated back in, but still treated as Other." - Emma Valente Enjoy and stay tuned: we have more exciting and stimulating conversations to come.

Rosie Batty

For International Women's Day in 2013, Justine Toh interviewed Captain Melanie-Anne Holland, who manages a Salvation Army women's refuge, and Dr Lynne M. Baker, author of the book Counselling Christian Women on How to Deal with Domestic Violence, about the effects of domestic abuse and the relevance of this issue to faith communities in particular. Two years on, the interview is if anything even more relevant: domestic violence affects up to 1 in 6 Australian women, and - with Rosie Batty being made Australian of the Year, and recent stories about domestic abuse in Christian marriages in particular - there is a growing momentum behind efforts to tackle this issue head-on.

M+C with Rosie Batty Australian of the Year @RosieBatty1 #lukebattyfoundation #australianoftheyear #AllAboutWomen

When two young men lose their lives in drunken assaults in the space of a few weeks, governments declare ‘Enough is enough’, and enact strict regulation to prevent another incident. But despite one Australian woman being killed by a current or former partner every week, family violence doesn’t attract anywhere near an equivalent amount of airtime, or popular outrage. Rosie Batty awed Australians with her eloquence and compassion after her 11-year-old son Luke was murdered by his estranged father in February 2014. In the intervening year she’s shown that that extraordinary resolve was no fluke, as she’s worked tirelessly to encourage a conversation about family violence in Australia – one that might help us work out what we can do to stop it. Rosie Batty's 11-year-old son Luke was murdered by his father Greg Anderson at cricket practice in Tyabb in February 2014. She has since become a domestic violence campaigner and has eloquently spoken out against family violence. She was named Victorian of the Year in October 2014, Daily Life Woman of the Year 2014 and was recently awarded Australian of the Year 2015.
