Deep Dive: The fatal stabbings of two boys, aged 12 and 15, in Melbourne’s west shocked the nation and put a spotlight on youth violence across Victoria. Police have since arrested seven teenagers over the brutal attack, but deeper questions remain about what’s fuelling this trend and whether government responses are helping or harming.

Interview by Kris PetersAs with every other year, anticipation surrounding the first line up announcement for Good Things 2025 was almost at a fever pitch. Social media experts and promoter wannabe's all shared their projected line-ups - but most were well off the mark.Good Things is possibly one of the hardest festival line ups armchair critics get to sink their teeth into, with the diversity and seemingly flippant mashing of genres meaning pretty much any band from any genre could make the final cut. And this year was no exception.When TOOL were announced as headliners, a large number of punters were already scrambling for tickets, but a quick scan through the rest of the line up proves the eclectic tastes of organisers and the variety of live music on show for fans of most persuasions.Rock? Tick. Weezer, Garbage.Pop Punk? Tick. All Time Low, New Found Glory.Punk? Tick. Refused.Metal? Big tick. Machine Head. Knocked Loose, Lorna Shore.But there was one band name there that defied expectations. A band not even from this planet. A band dubbed 'Scumdogs Of The Universe'. A band like no other…And that band is GWAR. These guys have been devastating audiences the world over for more than 40 years, their incredible backstory and characters resonating just as much as their music. But it is in the live arena that GWAR excels. Their stage shows are legendary, so much so that filmmakers were driven to make a documentary on the band and their history called This Is Gwar.Yes, ladies and metalheads. This IS GWAR. And what follows is a brief transcript of HEAVY's interview with frontman Blöthar the Berserker, who, as you will be able to tell, is keen to get back to Australia and convert the country en route to enslaving the world. With Good Things sharing the same calendar month as Christmas, we ask Blothar if GWAR will be filling their red sacks with surprises for Aussie fans."(laughing) Well… mostly, when it comes to Christmas, we don't really hand out gifts as much as we take them," he offered. "Gwar is keeping alive that horrible tradition that the Dutch have, Black Pete. Can you believe that they did that? Who do these people think they are? But, seriously, that's what we do. We kidnap children, and we stuff them into stockings, and we turn them into coal and all of that stuff, then we run off with them to Morocco, or something like that. GWAR's not big on Christmas. We are friends with Krampus, though."We run through the line-up again and reiterate our early observation that GWAR are the proverbial black sheep of the Good Things line up, a point which is not lost on Blothar as we ask if the people of Australia are ready for the carnage."I don't know. They loved it last time that the band went down there," he shrugged. "We took a swipe at Tony Abbott and everybody got all upset - boo hoo - but I don't even know what's going on politically in Australia now. We've been very busy… we've got our own problems here to worry about. I think Australians are gonna love GWAR. GWAR is a band that is funny. That's the difference. And let me be clear about that. You go see a heavy metal band… you don't go and see a lot of heavy metal bands where everyone you look at is smiling. They're laughing and having a good time. They can't believe they're seeing… they feel inspired to go and do something creative themselves. That's what GWAR is. That is what GWAR is."In the full interview, Blothar talks more about the line up and gives his thoughts on spreading so many different genres through a festival, what has changed with GWAR since they were last out here, battling the oppressive Australian heat, what three songs punters should listen to if they aren't familiar with the band, where to research the backstory and find out more about the GWAR universe, their latest album The Return Of Gor Gor and how it was received, reaching 40 years as a band and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Tony Abbott was on a layover in Dubai when he phoned Natasha Griggs – the president of the Country Liberal Party – and set off a chain reaction inside the Coalition. Hours later, Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price defected to the Liberals and a surprise leadership ticket was taking shape. For moderates, it was another sign that the former prime minister and his confidante, Peta Credlin, are still pulling the party’s levers from the outside.

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson sits down with Australian journalist and former prime minister, the Honourable Tony Abbott. They discuss Australia's role on the world stage, the problems facing their economy and culture, how the quasi-cult of carbon threatens the developing world, why new religions propagate where faith has been abdicated, and the looming threat of war as China destabilizes while Putin pushes forward against Ukraine. Tony Abbott was elected prime minister by the Australian people on September 7, 2013, and served for two years. In that time, the carbon tax and mining tax were repealed, free trade agreements were finalized with China, Japan and Korea; the people smuggling trade from Indonesia to Australia were halted, and Australia became the second largest military contributor to the US-led campaign against the Islamic State in Iraq. Currently, he is a director of the Ramsay Centre for Western Civilisation, serves on the council of the Australian War Memorial, and is an adviser to the UK Board of Trade. He's patron to several charities, including Soldier On, the International Sports Promotion Society, and Worldwide Support for Development. - Links - For The Honourable Tony Abbott Website https://tonyabbott.com.au/ On X https://twitter.com/hontonyabbott?lang=en
