It is Discernable®: Recent Episodes
Matt Wong
Filmmaker Dee McLachlan investigates the 'open market' of child trafficking that operates in Australia.
Through her films (that have gone as far as the United Nations) and her online news network, Dee raises the alarm over the way Australian governments, judiciaries and departments coordinate to create a market for children being removed from one or both parents, sustaining a massive bureaucracy that is not incentivised in any way to reunite or restore children to their families.
Listen to this interview to learn what sort of parents are targeted, how they are targeted, and what we must do to clean up the legal but heinous market for officially trafficked children in Australia.

What is the deal with our obsession with house prices? Is it right that a basic need has been turned into a speculative investment?
Are rocketing house prices real or just inflation by another name?
Property expert Dr Cameron Murray was one of the only economists to correctly predict a 20% surge in house prices would occur during the Covid years. He returned to Discernable to lay out future trajectories of housing prices and rents and explain what we are seeing in 2024.

- Professor Nikolai Petrovsky invented a Covid-19 vaccine.
- He took his own vaccine.
- He was fired and cancelled for refusing and calling out the potential dangers of competing technologies (mRNA).
He has been labelled a conspiracy theorist and an 'antivaxxer' in a stunning display of ignorance and doublespeak.

Jay Vidanage is a barrister and solicitor from Old Port Chambers in Adelaide, Australia. Jay believes that it's only a matter of time before the wheels of justice come down on vaccine mandates. He points to recent wins in court that demonstrate a shift in judicial tone around Covid-19, vaccines, and vaccine mandates.
Most concerning is the way mandates and directions are being declared unlawful by courts, for varying reasons, leaving employers exposed for any harms they may have caused their employees by enforcing what they thought were valid government mandates.
Jay delivers a message of responsibility and warning for all employers to ensure they have covered their own backsides in the way they enforced increasingly unlawful mandates.

Something in politics is broken. We all know it. Politicians have become masters of getting elected whilst getting nothing done in the real world. Is there a way to get them to focus on solving actual problems rather than chasing polls and keeping their jobs?
Iain Walker is the Executive Director of the New Democracy Foundation, an independent research organisation that designs and implements 'citizen juries' to various levels of government around the world.
In this interview we explored how citizen assemblies are making an impact globally, gradually becoming a viable and accepted method of decision making.
Tune in to this interview to hear about how politicians are being incentivised to 'stop playing politics' by this new form of public governance.

With so much of our world in seeming flux, decay and upheaval, it is becoming popular to ask if we are witnessing the death of the world we always knew.
Why do our cultures and institutions pursue relentless 'change' with such zeal? Why are we redefining language and logic to support subjective views?
Are we destined for a societal train wreck?
Senior Pastor of Berwick Church of Christ, Braam Botha, discusses ethics, homosexuality, egoism, utilitarianism, government, conflict and morality in this 90 min interview.
This episode is for you if you're interested in a perspective that takes aim at the aggrandisement of 'SELF' and calls for a radical departure from the momentum of popular culture.

Dr James Stewart is an Australian doctor at the forefront of plant-based medicine and medical cannabis.
As a General Practitioner he found pharmaceutical solutions frustrating in their narrow focus and lengthy side effect profiles and began to incorporate plant-based treatments in his practice.
He is now sought out by celebrities and business leaders who are looking for expert advice and care when it comes to medical cannabis and other plant-based treatments.
He joined Discernable to educate us on how cannabis works from a chemical, legal, and practical point of view.

He is also the Chair of Self Employed Australia, and has a successful post-law career in business.

Daniel Lopez is the contributor editor overseeing Australia for U.S. based Jacobin magazine which offers a socialist perspective on politics, economics and culture. He is an active member of the 'Victorian Socialists' party which achieved a remarkable result in the 2022 state election.
Daniel visited the Discernable studio to explore the evils that neo-liberalism has wrought on the world, where it came from, and what points of agreement a socialist perspective might have with a free-market libertarian perspective. Of particular concern was generational inequality, with a growing resentment among younger Millennial and GenZ cohorts who feel they are being left behind in a declining world.

Graeme Cann has been at the forefront of combatting domestic violence and child sexual abuse in Australia for 60 years. He is the founder of The Christian Counselling Association of Australia, and has counselled hundreds of victims and perpetrators of child sexual abuse since 1960.
Graeme has come to the conclusion that 'power asymmetry' is insufficient to explain domestic violence and child abuse, where guilt and shame often underpin pathological behaviours.
In this discussion we explore Graeme's personal experience as a victim of child sexual abuse, the indicators of pedophilia, and why so much child abuse occurs in religious institutions.

These are the stories of ten Victoria Police officers who served in the Vietnam War between 1964 and1972. Plucked from policing the streets of Melbourne, they were expected to serve their mandatory period of national service before returning to Victoria Police with no support, psychological evaluation, or job retraining, often policing protests against the very war they never wanted to serve in, and had just returned from.
Many of them rose to the highest ranks within Victoria Police, with some experiencing debilitating and life-long complications from their time in the military.
In 2023, Victoria Police formally apologised to them and recognised their service in a series of events called ‘Saluting Their Service’.

Rob McMullan returns to Discernable to discuss the ongoing drift in society toward 'empathising' and 'caretaking' which ultimately leads to mass dependence. Is Australia destined to become a nation of compliant serfs who are comfortably satiated but totally without agency?
Rob foresees a two-tiered society of Elites and Serfs...a 'dependent mass' and an 'inner city elite' as opposed to a mixed and dominant middle class.
Unless and until an inevitable retaliation takes place.

This is a standalone episode summarising the 'Not Above the Law' case against Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews and other named politicians and bureaucrats, run by Self Employed Australia over hotel quarantine failures.
It is a story of government malfeasance, admission and farce (government prosecuting itself), and ultimately judicial activism where the presiding judge created and offered a defence for government that ultimately led to the case failing because of concerns over the mental welfare of Daniel Andrews and others named in the case.
The 57 page judgement makes the point that allowing the case to proceed would cause 'stress of potentially being subjected to prosecution for serious criminal offences' for the named individuals including Daniel Andrews, Jenny Mikakos, Lisa Neville, Martin Pakula, Chris Eccles, Kym Peake, Brett Sutton, Shane Patton, Graham Ashton, Andrew Crisp et al.
Justice McDonald goes on to say that if the case proceeds, 'the 20 individuals identified in the First Request may suffer considerable prejudice'.

Three cancelled medical professionals joined us to tell their stories of censorship by the Australian medical system. All three were de-registered by their professional licensing bodies for expressing views divergent from the ‘allowed’ opinion.
Since their expulsion from medicine, many of their views have become accepted fact though that does little to restore their careers.
Dr Paul Oosterhuis practiced Critical Care medicine for more than 32 years in Sydney, Australia. On 3rd September 2021, the Medical Council of NSW suspended his medical registration based on four anonymous complaints submitted to the regulator in relation to his Facebook posts.
Dr Robert Brennan taught anatomy and biomedical sciences for a decade before entering medical school and forging a career in mental health care. On 20th September 2021, the Medical Council of NSW suspended his medical registration based on five complaints (four named and one anonymous) in relation to distributing flyers/pamphlets warning about concomitant harms of lockdowns and other Covid-19 measures.
Ros Nealon-Cook was a registered psychologist with more than 20 years’ experience until 23rd September 2021 when the Psychology Council of NSW suspended her psychology registration, citing 10 anonymous complaints, related to a video she had released outlining serious concerns around harms to children due to the government pandemic response measures.
Watch this joint interview to hear about alarming adverse event signals, nudge units and medical manipulation, groupthink and peer pressure, medical ethics and faulty science, population psychology, and the state of Australia’s medical fraternity.

On tonight's show with Ken Phillips and Nick Karamouzis from Self Employed Australia:
VICTORIA IS BROKEN
Once again Daniel Andrews is dogged by allegations of corruption in his government. We look at the systemic nature of 'grey corruption' that is now widely acknowledged across left and right wing media. We make comparisons with Liberal corruption in other states such as NSW.
NOT ABOVE THE LAW
Self Employed Australia provides a final and detailed summary of the entire NATL campaign, and what transpired in Victorian courts. We reveal outrageous moves by judges to assist the Daniel Andrews government, feeding them arguments in court.
ALBO ATTACKS THE GIG ECONOMY
The Australian Prime Minister seeks to 'protect' gig workers by fundamentally changing the notion of a 'commercial contract', forcing 'employee' standards on gig workers. We explore what this really means for anyone self employed, or those who use gig work to top up their ordinary income.
MARXISM IN MELBOURNE
Ken Phillips attended the Marxism 2023 conference in Melbourne, and brings us a full report on what he discovered.

Better than QandA is a new format live panel show that appeals to those who want to think deeply about the world today.
Tonight's topic 'Impossible Conversations with Peter Boghossian' explores epistemology: how do you know what you know? After demonstrating multiple games of 'street epistemology' we will dive into the 'Sokal Squared' 'Grievance Studies Affair' where James Lindsay, Helen Pluckrose and Peter Boghossian successfully published hoax papers in peer-reviewed academic journals to demonstrate the intellectual corruption of academia.
Panellists:
- Peter Boghossian joins us live, all the way from the USA. Peter is a Founding Faculty member at the University of Austin and the director of National Progress Alliance. His teaching pedigree spans more than 25 years and focuses on the Socratic method, scientific skepticism, and critical thinking. Peter’s dissertation explored increasing the moral reasoning of prison inmates and aiding their resistance to crime. His most recent book is How to Have Impossible Conversations and his writing can be found in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Scientific American, Time Magazine, National Review, and elsewhere. His work is centred on bringing the tools of professional philosophers to a wide variety of contexts to help people think through what seem to be intractable problems.
- Flying in from Perth is Australia's most controversial comedian: Corey White. Transitioning from criminal lawyer to comedian, Corey has appeared at The Sydney Writers Festival, on Triple M, SBS, and at the Melbourne Comedy Festival. He's mic dropped on the SAS, police, "journalists", the legal profession and government approved comedians, with a swag of agenda fluid gags that are rigorously tested, safe and effective for all. Until 2023 he was Australia's most cancelled comedian for daring to raise impossible conversations.

Trung Luu spent 24 years investigating crime scenes as a sworn member of Victoria Police. In 2022 Trung was elected to parliament as the Liberal Party's first Vietnamese MP in Victoria.
He travelled to Australia by boat as a young refugee and has since built a life and family in the western suburbs of Melbourne. In this sit down we discussed the Liberal Party's attempted expulsion of Moira Deeming MP, the refugee perspective of other refugees arriving by boat and 'skipping the queue', freedom of speech and privacy in Australia and the banning of certain people and subjects.

What is the core promise of Jesus Christ and Christianity? Rather than settle for common caricatures, we invited Bishop Paul Barker to take us to the very centre of the faith where he explained the scandalous claims it makes.
What is faith? Is it testable? Does it lean on any empiricism and science or is it purely a 'leap of faith'?
What about social justice - is that the key message of Christianity?
What does 'believing' mean? Is it merely mental assent or something more?
Who is Jesus Christ? Does it really matter or is the rest of the Bible helpful without him?
How 'good' do you have to be to get into heaven? What about really bad people?
These are the questions that were in my mind approaching this interview, and I found it both surprising and refreshing to hear such a unique exposition of the Christian faith, instead of the strawman we hear in popular culture.
The second half of the discussion centred around cultural relevance, whether the world is devolving its standards, and whether all faiths will remain true to their sacred beliefs and texts or become secularised due to cultural pressure. We explored the failings of the modern church, and the loss of the core message of grace.
At Discernable we continue to explore different perspectives, beliefs, values and opinions by presenting them in their best light possible so you can make up your own mind.

For 4 years Dr Jereth Kok has been suspended from practising medicine for posting memes, satire, and other Christian religious opinions on social media. Many of these posts centred around transgenderism, sexuality and abortion.
The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) used an emergency mechanism reserved for use on dangerous doctors who represent a risk to 'the public interest'.
Suspended without trial or hearing has meant 4 years of 'legal limbo' for Dr Kok who has been found neither guilty nor innocent by AHPRA. He has since been forced to retrain into an alternative career, so regardless of the eventual tribunal outcome he is unlikely to return to medicine.
AHPRA have disclosed that their investigation began when they received 2 anonymous complaints about Dr Jereth Kok's social media posts, and that those two complainants have never been his patients.
In this interview we explored the offences alleged by AHPRA, using AHPRA screenshots of Dr Kok's social media posts. Most of them are inarguably absurd, satire, or vanilla statements and the remaining are expositions of his Christian views.
We went on to discuss the dangerous reality being set by bodies like AHPRA in censoring doctors and homogenising the ideology of the entire industry, resulting in anti-scientific practices that ignores long-established principles of modern medicine.

This is the story of John - a Queensland Health worker at Gold Coast Hospital (non-patient facing) who is facing dismissal for not taking a second dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, despite booking an appointment and trying to have it.
John was advised by multiple medical practitioners including a vaccine expert that he should definitely not take a second dose considering severe adverse reaction he had after the first, which included paralysis.
He is now both unable to receive a second dose and unable to work at Gold Coast Hospital who are erroneously claiming, amongst other things, that he has not received a first dose.
John has multiple valid medical exemptions including from the Federal Government. As John waits in limbo, his job has already been advertised and has reportedly been filled internally on a permanent basis.
John is represented by Samir Banga from Banga legal who joined us to discuss both the case and the status of legal challenges to vaccine mandates in Australia more broadly.
Why do so many fail? Will they continue to fail? Are lawyers simply profiteering on the suffering of fired or injured workers?
Which forum (courts, tribunals, commissions) are best to start action in? How should you approach them?

In this interview he shared insights into the true nature of sales, its role in society, various perceptions of salespeople, and how the landscape is changing to meet new needs in a new world.
James's expertise sheds light on the importance of sales psychology in the modern business world, and how it can be used to build strong relationships with customers, rather than simply pushing products.
This is a must-listen for anyone looking for a deeper understanding of sales psychology and its impact on a sales career, and on hiring staff to grow your business.

Lauren Dry is a specialist in nervous system and unconscious-driven behaviours. She joined Discernable to explore why so many people are 'stuck' post-pandemic and acting emotionally and unconsciously.
Serving as case study is the paradoxical treatment of Novak Djokovic by angry Australians, and the way humans descend into groupthink, social norms and reactionary grasps for 'safety'.
Steered by media and opportunistic governments, populations swing from one 'villain' to another, with some ultimately finding themselves in the arms of 'freedom' movements that are just as manipulative and fear-driven.
Is there a way to break free and live aware of our unconscious triggers, motivations and vulnerabilities?

As New Media takes off around the world, sometimes it actually scoops legacy media...and with only a fraction of the budget, staff, experience and resources of giant media conglomerates. 6 News is one of those New Media players with their news coverage being syndicated by Australia's national broadcaster (the ABC) as well as commercial networks.
The founder of 6 News, Leonardo Puglisi, makes regular appearances on major shows such as The Drum. Despite being only 15 years old, he now leads a national news organisation staffed by young volunteer reporters across Australia, sometimes being the only news organisation to provide rolling coverage of breaking news, as was the case with the Dec 2022 shooting in Queensland where 2 police officers were killed.
We sat down with Leo to find out how 6 News came to be, how they achieve 'unbiased' coverage, and how to reach his generation through media.

This is a true tale of theft, drugs and a bakery. Jordan Dittloff made headlines in 2015 for stealing $277,993.58 from 47 clients of his travel agency Ace Travel in Victoria.
As an award winning travel agency and a community leader in regional Victoria, Jordan's crimes rocked the Colac community. Many, including his 70 year old future mother in law, lost thousands of dollars saved up for their 'trip of a lifetime'. Trading insolvent, Jordan effectively ran a travel ponzi scheme relying on future holiday bookings to pay for past holiday bookings.
Eventually the scheme collapsed and Jordan disappeared, sparking media attention. After 2 weeks he handed himself into police and was bailed pending a court hearing for his crimes.
At the same time, Jordan ran a second business: drug dealing in Melbourne, profits from which he used to fund his own drug habit. Whilst on bail, Jordan was arrested as part of Victoria Police drug sting operation in a Melbourne alleyway.
In the end the court sentenced Jordan to jail 3 years (20 months non-parole) as well as granting compensation orders for his victims to be repaid.
In prison Jordan completed a business degree and in the five years since release is completing a post-graduate law degree and has repaid ~$35,000 to victims. He has worked at the same bakery since release.
He now credits his time in prison as a catalyst for reform and is building a drug and alcohol free life of discipline and responsibility unlike his behaviour displayed before prison.

Joined by our first LIVE audience, this episode of the People's Project with the re-elected Ryan Smith MP and David Limbrick MP:
KEEP LEFT IN VICTORIA
Why do the Victorian Liberals keep failing so badly? Who did Victorians actually vote for? (it wasn't Daniel Andrews) And is the state turning even more left?
SPEED CAMERAS: BECAUSE NOTHING SAYS 'SAFETY' LIKE A FINE IN THE MAIL
The difference between NSW and VIC speed camera philosophies proves the dark underbelly of Victoria: fear-driven compliance of its population and preferring surveillance over safety. Welcome to Jeremy Bentham's Panopticon.
GUILT FREE ELECTRICITY
The cost of renewable energy that nobody will admit to: massive fossil fuel inputs, and why young Australians do not fear nuclear power.

For 20 years, Luke Donnellan was the Victorian Labor MP for the outer suburban electorate of Narre Warren. He served as the Minister for Roads and Road Safety and Minister for Ports (2014-2018) and then as the Minister for Child Protection and the Minister for Disability, Ageing and Carers (2018-2021).
Before the Nov 2022 state election, the Labor Party denied Luke preselection for his seat, and was thus pushed out of parliament altogether.
Luke joined Discernable for an open conversation about the lives of everyday Victorians. What do they care about? Why do they keep electing Labor governments?
We also delved into the ethics of protests, social justice, and the corruption tendencies of long term governments. As the Minister for the most vulnerable cohort of Victorians during Covid-19 (the elderly), we also explored his thinking on vaccine mandates, segregation and community safety.

Joined in studio by Mulgrave candidates Ian Cook and Premier Daniel Andrews, we go over the bold predictions by our election panel on what will happen in Victoria, and where the key upsets will occur.
Matt also dives into the Labor and Liberal policy websites comparing the psychological approach of each. The Labor website treats voters incredibly differently from the Liberal website and represents how each party sees the electorate.
Peter Fam is a human rights lawyer from Sydney, Australia. He believes that today's society has become detached from the principles our species has upheld and respected for thousands of years.
We took a particularly deep dive into the origin of human rights, natural law and how that is evolving in today's post-modern society that is reimagining the human rights landscape. It forced us to ask deep epistemological questions to trace the authority of self-determination and the origin of truth.

In this episode of The People's Project with Comedian Corey White and 'Lady Liberty' Kate Fantinel:
STATE DADDY
We explore the shenanigans of Western Australia's 'State Daddy' Premier Mark McGowan. Why exactly is he so popular? And does he deserve the fame? The panel stacked with West Australians disagrees with Matt who finds McGowan endearing.
We delve into the links between government and big businesses like Fortescue Metal Group (Twiggy Forrest).
THE KINGDOM OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Now that Mark McGowan has secured a completely red parliament and the Liberals have only 2 seats, this is what he gets up to.
Immediately after the election win in March 2022 Mark's police minister Paul Papalia colluded with media to dox law abiding firearm owners, publishing the location of every registered firearm for criminals to steal.
Pandemic powers are enshrined forever in Australia's first genuine police state - the Police Commissioner holds all authority to use the powers with no ministerial oversight and no accountability to the public (via an election).
COMEDIANS ON THE FRONT LINE
We explore the state of comedy in Australia and why the industry is stacked with virtue signaling nonsense that isn't even funny.

Ben Mol is a Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Monash Health, Melbourne. He focuses deeply on medical interventions: what are they, why are they deployed, are they overused?
He leads the Evidenced based Women's Health Care Research Group who are investigate whether medical interventions around the world are conducted with evidence, are beneficial to patients, and whether they cause harm.
In the course of his research, Ben has uncovered startling evidence such as 30% of peer-reviewed and published randomly controlled trials being completely fabricated.
In this interview we explored the world's largest health intervention to date: government and public health responses to Covid-19. The professor has been vocal about the injustice and illogic of vaccine mandates, punitive measures against Queensland's unvaccinated teachers, the deportation of Novak Djokovic from Australia, malfeasance in academic research, and lockdowns as 'one of the greatest peacetime policy failures in modern history'.

In this episode of The People's Project with David Limbrick MP and Corrine from Smoke Dreams:
IS CANNABIS GOOD OR BAD?
The conservative view is that cannabis is not only harmful, it's immoral and 'ILLEGAL!'. This has been the dominant message in policing, media and politics for nearly 100 years. The progressive view is that it's harmless and to be celebrated, endorsed and embraced by all. But is it as simple as either side makes out?
THE WAR ON DRUGS
When governments spend billions of dollars on drug harm policies, how much do you think actually goes towards harm minimisation, prevention and treatment, as opposed to brute enforcement?
LEGALISING CANNABIS IN AUSTRALIA
We explore the famous Portugal case study where all drugs were decriminalised 20 years ago. Did it work? What about in Australia - how are we tracking and can we stop the global trend towards decriminalisation and legalisation? This is after the ACT just announced it will be legal to possess drugs like cocaine, heroin and speed.

Zuby is an internationally recognised rap and hip hop artist who also achieved fame as the champion British female deadlift record holder (238kg).
Designed to raise awareness of the absurdity of biological men competing against biological women in sport, the stunt eclipsed his music success and he was thrust into the culture wars where he has been offering previously common - but now exceedingly rare - takes on society.
He continues to self publish his music and books, as well as tour internationally as a keynote speaker on a variety of his interests including music, cryptocurrency, culture, and self-improvement.
He kindly agreed to an extended interview with Discernable in the suburbs of Melbourne where we could explore his views in a specifically Australian context.

Kris Borer is the author of 'The Ethics of Anarcho Capitalism' and I invited him on the show for an extended exploration of what libertarianism, capitalism, libertarianism etc actually is and whether Australians should take notice or simply go on living ignorant of these ideologies.
Is taxation theft? Are government subsidies unethical? Is it ok to do some harm to avoid even greater harm?
We discussed anarchism, capitalism, libertarianism, ethics, societal conflicts, the robot apocalypse, cronyism, morality and values.

In this special episode of The People’s Project with Stanford’s Jay Bhattacharya and the Assistant Secretary General (ret.) of the United Nations Professor Ramesh Thakur:
ANALYSING MELBOURNE'S LOCKDOWNS
We step through the lockdowns and delve into the science behind the Great Barrington Declaration compared to 'The ScienceTM' practised by governments around the world (except Sweden). Jay has some choice words for the unique hell unleashed on Victorians and expertly describes what Public Health as a science actually is and does.
Gladys Berejiklian and Leigh Sales make an appearance to lighten the mood amongst many minutes of Daniel Andrews press sermons...I mean conferences.
Jay definitively explains whether we were 'following the science'.
MAKING LOCKDOWNS REAL
Watch the expert panel react to the most egregious of pandemic measures. What will they say when confronted with the absurdities of pandemic policy gone mad?
ANTHROPOMORPHISE & EXAGGERATE
We explore the anthropomorphisation of Sars-CoV-2 and the circumstances in which exaggeration would be justified in public health messaging.
We embrace our own exaggeration with the fine work of Remix Matrix who reveals the true ambitions of NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian.
SHAME THE PEOPLE
Jay takes us into the world of unvaccinated shaming. Should we divide and shame to engender compliance? What does he think of leaders like NT Chief Minister Michael Gunner, and panicked citizens who are boosted up the wazoo but still fear and catch Covid-19?
We have a censored discussion about vaccination effectiveness and whether young people are safer with or without, and the concepts of 'pandemic of the vaccinated', 'pandemic of the boosted' and natural immunity vs vaccinated immunity.
Finally, the retired Assistant Secretary General to the United Nations explains what we really should worry about when it comes to globalised, centralised power structures like the W.E.F., the U.N. and the W.H.O.

In this week's episode of The People's Project with David Limbrick MP and Human Rights Lawyer Peter Fam:
EXPERTS ATTACK VACCINE MANDATES
The esteemed British Medical Journal (which has been braver than most journals) details the insane politicisation of mandates and the demonisation of people backfiring for the medical establishment.
We read out the most egregious statements by world leaders.
AUSTRALIANS WON'T FORGET
Forget political parties, Australians open their own wallets to fund political ads against premiers. The anger stems from failing emergency services that governments refuse to fund.
We also air the bombshell from Chairman of ESTA (Victoria's 000) Roger Leming who was fired for warning in 2016 that 000 was about to fail.
Ambulance Victoria continues to spend up big on gender and diversity executives.
STOP BLAMING THE PANDEMIC
Victorians continue to die on Daniel Andrews' watch in Victoria and he issues a personal apology...blaming the virus.
We air 2014 footage of Daniel Andrews raging against an ambulance crisis saying 'we can't afford another 4 years of tragedy...we can't have families left on their own...too many people taken too soon because the ambulance took too long.'
THE CHICKENS COME HOME TO ROOST
Human rights lawyer Peter Fam details how the law moves and changes with the times, predicting an inevitable onslaught of civil negligence cases against medical professionals.
David Limbrick MP explains his idea for a non-profit organisation to fund human rights cases against government, and have a 'chilling effect' on human rights abuses as agencies begin to fear the accountability of real oversight.

FAT IS THE NEW FIT
The body positivity movement brought us 'beautiful at any size' but now we're drifting into 'healthy at any size' which is surely, medically, empirically, experientially and scientifically untrue.
THE NEW RELIGION: SOCIAL JUSTICE
Author Andrew Doyle writes about the Salem Witch Trials in 1692 which when properly understood, explain how social justice activists force entire societies into submission, even when we all know what they are saying is false.
OK GROOMER
After being labelled as racists, misogynists, bigots, fascists and homophobes, conservatives are fighting back with a pejorative of their own: 'Groomer'. And it's working (because it's partly true).
GOD SAVE THE IDIOT KING
The amazing Queen Elizabeth II dies at 96, and is succeeded by the idiot King Charles III. Despite witnessing the rock solid example of his mother who remained above politics, King Charles is determined to divide society and campaign on activist causes, sullying the Crown and undermining the stability of the Royal Family who preserve their power by giving it away and staying out of the fray.

Father of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, John Shipton, and whistle-blower David McBride join Discernable for an exclusive deep dive into government secrets.
Do we still believe that Western governments are more noble than Chinese, Russian and other world governments? Who exactly are 'the good guys' and 'the bad guys' on the world stage? Are government secrets and warmongering the price to pay for our free democracies?
David McBride served in both the British and Australian armed forces and is currently facing jail for leaking classified information to the ABC and alleging war crimes by Australian soldiers in the Middle East.
John Shipton continues to fight for his son's freedom, and notes massive cross-party support in parliaments around the world calling for his freedom.
In this joint interview we discussed:
- How governments are incentivised to start and prolong wars
- How governments use fear and anxiety to sell their policies
- The war crimes in the leaked 'collateral damage' video and other leaked cables
- War crimes committed by Australia and the USA targeting civilian water supplies and using depleted uranium rounds
- Allied air strikes designed to cover evidence of war crimes
- When media won't report against government
- Why are the crimes Julian Assange revealed not being prosecuted?
- The duty to report a crime
- Why will Australia not defend an Australian citizen?
- All political parties are adopting a 'free Assange platform'

DAN HAS A PROBLEM #CookversusCrook
Daniel Andrews, Brett Sutton and Dandenong council have created a monster! A slug that threatens the Premier's own seat: Mulgrave. Ian Cook founded iCook Foods where a slug was planted by a corrupt Melbourne council with backing from the Labor Party. With a team of retired detectives Ian has defeated all charges and now openly labels the players involved as 'corrupt' with not a single defamation action or threat levied in response. Ian is running in Mulgrave to stand against corruption in Victoria.
CORRUPT COUNCILS
Casey council was dismissed by Labor MP Adem Somyurek in 2020 for some of 'the most corrupt conduct ever seen in a Victorian council' with property developers paying bribes to councillors and Labor MPs. IBAC investigations have since revealed via covert telephone recordings that Premier Daniel Andrews has not only dined with such property developers, but has indeed discussed planning decisions at those dinners.
The CEO of Dandenong Council also goes under the microscope as Ian lays out hundreds of thousands of dollars that have gone missing, bombshell board minutes, implications with Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton, and millions of dollars 'disappeared' by the Labor government in the winding up of Community Chef.
CORRUPT POLICE?
A senior Victoria Police officer made a submission to IBAC with detailed allegations about a cover-up inside the highest levels of Victoria Police. That submission alleges and implicates Shane Patton and lays out evidence of the 'Red Shirts Rort' investigations (into Victorian Labor stealing $400,000) being covered up. The submission was leaked to multiple media outlets, including Discernable.
Former Victoria Police PORT/CIRT officer Chris Burson joins us on the panel to give us a peak into the culture inside Victoria Police.

Norman Fenton is a professor of Risk Information Management at Queen Mary University of London and director of Agena - a company focused on uncertainty quantification, probabilistic models and smart data.
He has spoken out loudly and often against 'statistical illusions' that, though convincing, are in complete mathematical error.
The professor believes these statistical illusions have been used by governments to falsely justify many policies, and that even his fellow statisticians who see the error are too afraid to speak out.
Professor Fenton test the voracity of mortality statistics, vaccination statistics, infection/case statistics et al and in this interview he gives both the theory and calculations behind his claims that the world has been conned by bad statistical analysis.

Professor Mattias Desmet is the author of The Psychology of Totalitarianism - a book that describes a world in the grips of 'mass formation'.
Under the correct conditions, the professor believes that a specific type of group formation can emerge, and has emerged in 2020. He cites historical examples where masses formed such as 'concentration camps to deal with the Jews, crusades to deal with the Muslims and witch-hunts to deal with the witches' but makes the distinction that in a technocratic era it ushers in totalitarianism.
Professor Desmet notes that totalitarianism, understood as a 'diabolical pact between the elite and the masses', is not the same as dictatorships where power is exercised in one direction. Totalitarianism always starts with an 'obsession and illusionary idea that a new society should be created according to a certain pseudo-scientific theory. It will create a new technologically, scientifically based paradise'.
We covered:
- What is the difference between dictatorships and totalitarianism?
- Is Trump Derangement Syndrome, or Trump is Our Saviour sentiment, related to totalitarianism?
- Will there be future mass formations?
- Is the climate change movement a mass formation?
- A new, technocratic totalitarianism
- Real problems with climate
- Criticisms of mass formation theory
- Rational, mechanist materialism that creates a new 'elite'
- The result of violent revolution
- Klaus Schwab, the W.E.F. and the W.H.O
- Destroying the elite will not work
- Proof that the madness exists
- It is never safer to remain silent
- Where should ethics come from?

- How mass formations end
- Non-conformists will bring the solution

- How to survive the next mass formation

BEIJING IRAN ‘MERICA?
The world is heating up. After Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, China is enjoying some sabre rattling. Major General (ret.)

Looking at the USA military bases around the world, is it any wonder countries like Iran are also feeling pressured?
CHINA IS THE FUTURE

- Hong Kong adopts the colour coded system by mandating online connections to a government database.
- Germany adopts the colour coded system in the Corona-Warn-App to verify vaccination status and health minister announces the passport will 'give different rights in the future'.
- Australia tries to follow with the 'Trusted Digital Identity Bill 2021'. How scared should we be?

Why did Australians choose to get vaccinated against Covid-19? Did they really choose?
Discernable guest Clare Pain is a medical journalist who wrote educational material for doctors throughout the pandemic and after noticing strange and sudden changes in her industry she started to investigate matters.
In particular, she wanted to know whether valid consent was received for Covid-19 injections in Australia and her workplace declined the idea, she commissioned her own survey of 27,000 Australians. The quantitative results are presented in our longform interview with Clare (https://discernable.io/clare-pain-medical-journalist-writing-for-doctors-throughout-the-pandemic) but she also received a large amount of qualitative data.
Here are the free-form responses she received from Australians describing why they received injection(s). The reasons range broadly over 25 minutes and are presented in categories.
They should be read in conjunction with the Australian Immunisation Handbook (https://immunisationhandbook.health.gov.au/contents/vaccination-procedures/preparing-for-vaccination#valid-consent) and Article 6 of the UNESCO Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights (http://portal.unesco.org/en/ev.php-URL_ID=31058&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201.html).
The statements on screen are raw and uncensored and do not necessarily represent the views of Discernable or Clare Pain.
Some observations:
- From those who felt coerced or forced, there seems to be a lot of anger expressed toward governments but not much toward other Australians who willingly wanted one of the Pfizer/AstraZeneca/Moderna/Novavax products.
- From those who willingly wanted one of the Pfizer/AstraZeneca/Moderna/Novavax products, there seems to be a lot of anger expressed toward other Australians who were less willing.
- There is a surprisingly high amount of misinformation such as believing Australian laws automatically gave mask exemptions for the vaccinated, or that you could travel further than 5kms from home in Melbourne if vaccinated.
- There is a sizeable number of people who altruistically made the effort to protect their community, family or other group.
- There is an overwhelming pattern of being forced by authority figures: employers, judges, medical professionals denying treatment etc.
- Much of the pressure seems to be second order effects of government mandates ie social, work or bureaucratic threat be denied some part of normal life even in spheres where discretion was available (privately enforced mandates).
- The classical reason for vaccinating (to protect yourself through acquired immunity against a disease) constituted a minor percentage of the responses.

Clare Pain is a medical journalist who throughout the pandemic was responsible for writing professional publications read by Australian medical professionals to keep them up to date with the science.
In 2020 she started to notice some strange changes to the culture of the medical profession in Australia and spoke out for the retention of classical medical doctrines such as conflict of interest disclosures and medical ethics.
Clare's personal journey includes being laughed at in Australian hospitals in 2020 for wearing too much PPE (masks and gloves) and anxiously awaiting Covid-19 vaccinations, to 2021 in Sheffield, England where she tried - unvaccinated - to catch Covid-19 to acquire immunity.
In this interview we discussed:
- Behind the scenes of medical journalism throughout the pandemic
- The differences between UK and Australian culture
- The Australian ban on Ivermectin
- Malfeasance by pharmaceutical companies
- A survey she conducted with a sample size of 30,000 measuring vaccine consent
Note: The 25 minute long credits to this interview display raw statements from Clare's survey where Australians shared why they received a C-19 vaccination. The statements on screen are uncensored and do not necessarily represent the views of Discernable or Clare Pain.

In this interview we explored the pandemic in the Indian context. I specifically wanted to hear a first hand account of Indian lockdowns, mandates, compliance, sickness and immunity, especially in the context of the poorest who suffered disproportionately.
We also discussed the class/caste system, the politicisation of data, and the psychology of the Indian population.

This is the creamiest custard/ice cream you will ever taste. Recipes like this are commercially unviable so impossible to find unless you make it yourself. Follow along and experience Matt's rich custard (and ice cream!).
Ingredients
600ml cream (thickened cream from Woolworths is perfect)
150ml water
6 egg yolks
1/2 cup xylitol (or 1/2 cup sugar)
1/4 teaspoon guar gum (only if proceeding to ice cream)
Large pinch of salt
1 tablespoon of butter
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (alcohol base)
1 vanilla bean (optional)
Equipment
Silicon spatula
Sieve/strainer
Pot
Glad wrap
Digital temperature probe
Ice cream maker (only if proceeding to ice cream)
Method
-
Mix guar gum evenly through xylitol/sugar (guar gum only required for ice cream).
-
Combine cream, water, salt, xylitol mix and vanilla, in a pot.
-
While gently stirring, heat pot to fully dissolve ingredients (about 60C is fine)
-
Allow pot to cool below ~50C while preparing egg yolks in a mixer bowl.
-
Gently whisk egg yolks while dribbling cream mix in. Dribble slowly at first to prevent heat-shocking the eggs, gradually speeding up pouring in the remaining liquid.
-
Pour liquid mix into a pot through a sieve to remove any lumps of egg and guar gum.
-
Add butter and scraped vanilla bean seeds to custard and heat to an absolute maximum of 83C, making sure to slow down heat and stir well as you approach 80-83C.
If any part of the mixture gets to 85+ it will set and make a lumpy custard!
- Once 83C is reached, cool custard quickly to get it out of the danger zone (75C+)
Hot custard is now ready to eat, or proceed to the next step.
-
FOR COLD CUSTARD: pour into a bowl and cover with glad wrap, pressing the glad wrap down to touch the surface of the custard, which will prevent condensation and skins forming. Cool for hours in a refigerator.
-
FOR ICE CREAM: pour cold custard (refrigerate overnight) into your ice cream maker and follow the instructions. The colder the custard to begin with, the better the ice cream.
-
Remove ice cream from maker which will be at soft serve consistency. Freeze overnight for a hard, supermarket style ice cream.
TROUBLESHOOTING
- Ice cream too hard/soft after freezing overnight? Adjust cream/water ratio. Higher fat = softer final result. More water = firmer ice cream.
- Still can't get ice cream soft enough? Cheat by adding a dash of vodka before churning in ice cream maker.
- Icicles in your ice cream? You didn't freeze the custard fast enough. Make sure the mix is cold as possible before churning.
- Grainy ice cream? Your temperatures are wrong. Either you went too hot in the final cook separating some of the fats and creating a grainy texture. OR you didn't dissolve all the ingredients properly in the first cook - heat higher and longer.

Is the French parliament a shadow of Australia's future? Given our collapsing primary vote for either Liberal or Labor and our embrace of minor parties and independents, we could end up with a similar style of politics.

Jeffrey A. Tucker is a prolific author who has written many thousands of articles in the scholarly and popular press. He founded the Brownstone Institute which is the self-described 'spiritual child of the Great Barrington Declaration' where you can find a cacophony of rational voices spanning the entire political and academic spectrum. His books are widely published in multiple languages on topics of economics, technology, cryptocurrency, social philosophy, capitalism, Covid-19, government bureaucracy, and culture.
Jeffrey was responsible for the founding of the Great Barrington Declaration and, in my estimation, sits at a nexus of the world's greatest minds who have the courage to speak truth in the face of overwhelming opposition.
Today he speaks with Discernable about how his worldview has radically changed over the last two years as we all come to realise the extraordinary lengths of time that a crowd madness can last, and the ease with which governments can manipulate their citizens for political gains.
We covered:
- How the response to Covid-19 blew up our worldviews
- The marionettes called 'politicians' and how real power is in the bureaucracy
- Who journalists and the media go after and who they ignore
- Gangs of people with the monopoly on violence
- Australian 'fake science' that the world laughs at
- Safety and gun culture in the USA
- Australians have a weird and dangerous trust of their government
- Why propaganda works
- How the religious stood firm
- Scott Morrison's demonisation of non-compliance
- Government propaganda that invades pop culture
- The Libertarian 'apostates' who sold out to government
- Revisionist history
- The evolution of viruses and battle between severity and prevalence
- Australian and New Zealand delaying the inevitable
- The birth of the Great Barrington Declaration
- Regrets of the great covid panic era
- The only early voice against lockdowns
- 3 ways humanity destroyed data on the severity of Covid-19
- The perfect setup to manufacture a panic
- Imagining a super virus that would actually justify tyranny
- Hollywood imaginations of pandemics
- Trading freedom for safety
- The most dangerous threat to humans in history: naive immune systems
- Australian and New Zealand leaders are negligent
- The laptop class and the return of castes
- Isolation and self preservation is the height of immorality
- The revolution before us and the spectre of a right-wing dictatorship

What are human rights? Do our laws create our human rights or do they simply recognise rights that pre-exist government?
Human rights lawyer Peter Fam joins us to explore the state of human rights in Australia and how the period 2020-2022 confirms the fears of many pracitioners: that human rights are not well understood by Australians.
Peter's law firm Maats Method is making a submission to the Australian Human Rights Commission stressing the duties and functions of the AHRC to investigate potential human rights abuses by governments around the country. You can read the full submission at: https://www.maatsmethod.com.au/post/australian-human-rights-commission-failed-to-perform-their-statutory-function-during-covid-19

Thomas Harrington, Senior Scholar at the Brownstone Institute, is an essayist and Professor Emeritus of Hispanic Studies at Trinity College in Hartford (USA) where he taught for 24 years. He joins Discernable to discuss what appears to be a worldwide repeat of the infamous Milgram experiment where ordinary people are pushed to commit extraordinary atrocities by authority figures.
As an expert in the formation of identity, culture and language he often sheds light on the rhetorical 'framing' techniques used to influence broad populations. An example of is the rise of modern 'Nudge Units' within governments known by various names such as 'Behavioural Insights Unit' et al. The Professor believes that once a suitably convincing 'frame' is established, a subject can be made to accept any proposition contained within that frame even if that proposition is antithetical to the frame itself.
This demonstrates the immense power and danger of 'framing' techniques employed by politicians and corporations throughout the globe to achieve their desired end. Thomas shows how this was successfully deployed to recruit a pliant population of 'police citizens' or 'karens' who zealously enforce the policies and propaganda of governments beyond what is legally stipulated and into the realm of cultural norms.
In this discussion we also looked at identity making vs decision making, the religious impulse of humans and what can replace it in a secular age, the reliability of rationalism and science and parallel societal structures.

Why is it that the left wing of politics in Australia continually win the policy war? Do Liberals need to show the same arrogance as the ALP and just refuse to quit even in the face of scandal?
THE LEGALITY OF ROE v WADE
We cover the simple legal reality of federalism both in the USA and in Australia, and why the ROE v WADE decision may be good no matter your view on abortion
POLITICIANS MOVE WHEN YOU MOVE
The true power of a tyrant is in the people. We the people actually have incredible power over our politicians, but we are collectively condoning their conduct.

Many Australians have experienced injury after a Covid-19 vaccination and had their cases sidelined, minimised or ignored. jab_injuries_australia has carefully incubated a feed and a community that puts the spotlight purely on the victims and their stories...not on the science and not on the politics.
Ultimately we are witnessing the creation of a qualitative dataset that documents what others refuse to document, and what some pages sensationalise for their own political agendas.
Matt from Jab Injuries Australia joined Matt from Discernable to explain the types of stories that are being sent to him, the pushback he's received, and the patterns evident in their data. Discernable was also interested in exploring motivations, dangers of censorship, false reports of injury, and conflicts of interest.

Tim Cudmore suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) in childhood and now lives with a unique brain structure. Tim is sought out by organisations and government departments in a consulting capacity to understand human behaviours and lived experiences.
In this interview Tim shared his thoughts on behavioural foundations in humans, and how he extrapolates those observations to make future predictions. We then went on a deep dive into a horror flu season in the southern hemisphere, the next world war, and athletes collapsing on the field.
Along the way, Matt challenged Tim to substantiate the logic behind his predictions and explored the realities of addiction and childhood trauma.

Kirsten is a 20 year veteran in the Victorian health system. Her dream was always to become a paramedic, and after 7 years as a registered nurse in critical care she achieved her goal and went on to serve as a paramedic for a further 13 years.
In late 2021 she was given an impossible choice - submit to Ambulance Victoria's vaccination mandate for Covid-19 and risk serious consequences due to her pre-existing medical condition, or be fired from the organisation that she loved.
Leading up to the launch of Covid-19 vaccinations in Australia, Kirsten chose to undertake additional training to be ready to assist in the vaccine rollout but despite 20 years of dedication and passion, her termination was cold and sudden.
This is her story.

Canadian social commentator Kate Wand joins Discernable to discuss the decline of old world values and systems in favour of a 'Brave New World' where human autonomy is sacrificed in pursuit of a utopia dreamed up by societal elites and bankers.
Her creative work in Canada interviewing prominent figures and producing short films highlights historical similarities between the current moment and dark periods in history.
Her work is of unusually high quality and intellectual depth and therefore comes highly recommended by Discernable.

Why are humans so addicted to new technology? We race to embrace that latest technological development even when it makes a task more difficult. We ignore the inefficiency we just created whilst marvelling at our engineering prowess!
Tom Goodwin points out and corrects these errors in judgement in his work as a consultant, speaker, author and presenter to organisations where the C Suite are at risk of burning resources on adolescent implementations of technology. In a way it's understandable because being more outlandish is the only way futurists and technologists gain enough attention and they have captured boardrooms of companies everywhere.
Tom has a foundational belief of 'human first' and in this discussion we explored:
- The attraction of technological hyperbole
- Media is geared for attention seeking and outrage
- Commonwealth countries resist following the USA into divisive politics
- The road-centric society
- When a technology succeeds too rapidly
- Techno geeks and their brains that took over the world
- Building empathy into technology
- Restaurants that ruin themselves with technology
- Covid-19 excuses in call centres
- Are cryptocurrencies just technological indulgences?
- Elon Musk's enormous ego and dedication to free speech
- Twitter is not a traditional 'public square'
- The New Normal
- The pandemic lasted for different lengths of time for different people
- Questioning reality - are we all just Sims?
- The importance of working in an office (not from home)
- Fashionable 'tolerance'
- Beauty, difference and class structures

OUT OF JUICE (AGAIN)
The NSW Government tells everyone to stop washing their dishes at night time to keep the electricity running
MORE MINIMUM WAGES!
PM Anthony Albanese gets his wish. After demanding a rise in the minimum wage greater than inflation (5.1%), the Fair Work Commission delivers a rise of 5.2%.
MASS FORMATION PSYCHOSIS
Mattias Desmet releases his book 'The Psychology of Totalitarianism'. Is it a plausible explanation to what the world is going through? How do we explain doctors losing their minds and manifesting extreme anxiety (Dr Greg Kelly's child isolation devices) , or professors flipping data to support pre-decided conclusions (the esteemed Professor Erwin Loh)?
I STAND WITH PRGUY17
Matt explains why he can't abandon his principles when it's convenient (like the pile-on to PRGuy17's unmasking): governmental attacks on anonymity and privacy are a long trend, and virtues like personal responsibility and fortitude in the face of trolls should not be forgotten.
OUR BRAVE NEW WORLD
China stops a protest before it even begins...by flipping citizen's digital health pass from green to red and stranding them with no access to their bank accounts or public transport. Bunnings, The Good Guys and KMart roll out facial recognition in their store entrances, capturing unique faceprints of everyone who enters...all for our safety of course.

What exactly did Clive Palmer get for his near $100m spend on the Australian Federal Election?
In this interview we explore:
- Craig Kelly's failure to be re-elected
- Clive Palmer's failure to be elected to QLD's senate
- $100m burned without a seat to show for it
- Labelling UAP and minor party voters as 'deplorables'
- The political momentum that is not going away
Julian Fayad thrived in software development in his teens and after working in finance as an adult he saw innovation possibilities for artificial intelligence. He now has multiple businesses operating in the world of data science, artificial intelligence and finance, all while living in Western Sydney.
Julian breaks the Legacy Media narrative of UAP candidates and supporters being 'low information voters' or 'deplorables' manipulated by Clive Palmer's simple slogans and promises. There is clearly a new political momentum forming in Australian politics and whilst proven to be a minority at the recent election, it is a momentum that is not going away as professionals such as Julian join the ranks.

This week's episode of The People's Project is a dedicated special on the Health System Crisis in Victoria, Australia. We will be hearing what it's like on the inside of:
- Ambulance Victoria
- ESTA (000 call centre)
- Victoria Police
- Monash Health hospitals
both before and during Covid.
Tonight's panel is full of highly experienced emergency workers who have not only lost their jobs because of vaccine mandates, they no longer want to return to the health system they have witnessed from the inside to be massively underfunded and over governed to the detriment of patient-centric care and evidence-based medicine.
With the state Premier throwing money at the problem ($3,000 winter bonus, dependent on staying employed over that period) everyone is asking: why is our health system so broken? Is it always this bad during winter? Is Covid-19 to blame? Are vaccine adverse events to blame? Are staff shortages caused by vaccine mandates and isolation rules?

Emeritus Professor Robert Clancy AM, MBBS(Hons), BSc(Med), PhD, DSc, FRACP, FRCPA, FRS(N) is a practising clinical immunologist with an international reputation for research in autoimmune disease, immunisation and mucosal inflammatory disease. He was Foundation Professor of Pathology at the University of Newcastle, where he established the Newcastle Mucosal Immunology Group, identifying mechanisms of airways protection and the pathogenesis of mucosal disease, and discovered new methods of disease control. He was awarded the first and only Doctor of Science by The University of Newcastle.
Professor Clancy developed the vaccine Broncostat at the University of Newcastle in 1985. The Broncostat vaccine reduces attacks of acute bronchitis to a degree of 90%.
In this interview with Discernable the professor surveys the state of Covid-19 in Australia and notes the discrepancies between the narratives woven about the disease at different times. Zooming out to explore evidence-based medicine, vaccine adverse events and the centralisation of health management by international bureaucracies such as the World Health Organisation, the professor finishes with his love of cartography and thoughts on how we can navigate through an increasingly political and potentially scientifically corrupt moment in the history of medicine.

WHAT HAVE WE DONE?
Australians are recovering from the hard work of electing our politicians. As the hangover clears some are asking - what have we done?
EVERYDAY HIGH PRICES
The cost of living is exploding and has finally reached Australian shores. Is it inflation? Something else? What is inflation anyway?
OUT OF JUICE
Extraordinary times as the wholesale (and sometimes retail) cost of electricity more than doubles for Australians. Where do we get our energy from and are renewables the solution?
THE FRANKSTON SERIAL KILLER
Paul Denyer could be roaming the streets of Frankston again in a year's time. Joined by the boyfriend and best friend of his final victim, we explore what his release could mean.
DOES ANYONE CARE?
Amber Heard and Johnny Depp have completed their court case. Can we move on now please?
We had audio issues for the first hour, but the following 5 hours were solid.
Massive guest list and and deep discussion of Australia's political pivot.
Gigi Foster is a Professor and Director of Education at The School of Economics at UNSW Business School. She holds qualifications in ethics, politics and economics, and joined Discernable for a second time to explain inflation and cost of living.
As the world suffers escalating prices on nearly all goods and services, are we experiencing inflation? Or is this simply market prices reflecting fluctuating supply/demand curves?
Is this a temporary phenomenon caused by supply chain disruption? Or is all the money printing by central banks devaluing our currencies?
This hour is an opportunity to learn what inflation is, how to identify it, what causes it, and what to do about it.

In particular, I wanted Campbell to explain the seeming contradiction between the freedom values of the Liberal Democratic Party and his time as Premier introducing fierce anti-bikie laws that drew the ire of civil liberty groups.
Campbell explained his motivations, regrets and hopes for the future of Australian politics.

Anthony Cursio is the LibDems candidate for the electorate of Fraser in Melbourne's west. Growing up through domestic violence and poverty Anthony eventually climbed the corporate ladder in banking and sees first hand what 'options' like access to capital can do for the poor in society.
He maintained his connection to the western suburbs of Melbourne where he lives, and is running against 'parachute' candidates for the opportunity to represent the voices of the western suburbs.
In this conversation we covered liberty, changing dynamics in the working class, personal responsibility and hate speech, what racism looks like, and the tragedy of bureaucracy literally killing Australian citizens as health systems collapse.

Behzad Nikzad is a data scientist with a keen interest in mathematics and data modeling. He lives in Quebec, Canada and has experienced the same historic lockdowns as in Melbourne Australia, but under the Trudeau government. He has noticed the models relied upon for lockdowns becoming ever more ridiculous and unjustifiable and sees a sad demise of the scientific method as a technocratic priesthood emerges.
He has written a book on this phenomenon where large swathes of the population are dazzled and/or suppressed by a ruling elite who claim insurmountable knowledge for the layperson. Just like priests before the printing press being the only ones allowed and capable of reading and interpreting holy texts.
In this conversation he walked me through a retrospective data analysis where I was forced to guess which cities and countries had the strongest restrictions based on their results. We also uncovered absolute irrationality on display by SAGE.
We ran out of time to discuss the parallels to his family's experience under the Taliban in Afghanistan, so Behzad provided this written account:
"
My mom was a teacher in Afghanistan. When the Taliban took over our city in 1995 (the first time) they closed schools for all girls. She could no longer work. She was no longer allowed out of the house without a chaperon. Every woman was required to cover their face.
The Taliban justified this by saying that, through mandates such as face coverings, they would build a better society. Anyone who questioned their logic was told that they were being immoral. My mom experienced the citizen-policing that happened then with people telling each other to cover up their faces. If she felt hot under the face covering and pulled it up for a minute, someone would show up to warn her that it was important for her to wear her face covering.
My mom had to relive that trauma as she became policed by her peers for not wearing her face mask. She told me that she once decided to go a very short distance in an indoor space without a mask and that someone yelled at her for it. She said the experience felt eerily similar to her experiences in Afghanistan during the (first) Taliban era.

After many political parties approached Heston to run on their brand, he decided to form the Australian Values Party and build a long term cultural change to the way Australia understands political leadership.
As a leadership expert, author, speaker and practitioner in the ADF, Heston believes Australians politicians are not displaying the qualities of leadership but it doesn’t have to be this way.
In this discussion we covered the political landscape of the Australian federal election, but also dived into what really makes a leader, and why we should demand such leaders in politics and in society more broadly.

Why is Pauline Hanson’s One Nation Party spending resources in Victoria? It seems odd given that the party base is in Queensland, and conservative leaning.
Pauline gave us an exclusive interview when she visited Shepparton in Victoria to discuss the ‘why’ behind her move into Victoria.
I thought I'd try and fire her up - but she was already fired up.

Lisa Stark is a corporate executive in marketing and long time supporter of the Liberal Party. Feeling abandoned by the party, Lisa is running in the wealthy electorate and lifestyle Mecca of Melbourne: Goldstein.
Currently held by Liberal MP Tim Wilson and threatened by climate change focused candidate Zoe Daniel, you’d be forgiven for thinking that this electorate will be won on climate change policy but Lisa Stark believes that there is a strong voter base in Goldstein that are so affected in their businesses and personal lives that climate change debates will not cut it this cycle.
Lisa is a candidate for Pauline Hanson’s One Nation Party and feels that it best represents the interests of those pragmatic, middle Australians. In this discussion I tried to feel out the mood of this glitzy electorate and probe what type of party One Nation is today.

The state of Victoria, Australia is about to lose 500-2,500 teachers today (28th April 2022) because of a legal mandate to receive a vaccine booster. It's beyond urgent that we have robust and honest discussions about the medical and legal validity of mandates and build political pressure on governments to follow the science.
Dr Gilbert Berdine is an associate professor at Texas Tech University with degrees in chemistry and life sciences from M.I.T. and medicine from Harvard University.
Dr Berdine is a lecturer and attending physician, having treated many patients with Covid-19, as well as a published academic in peer-reviewed journals.
One of the earliest voices to predict the failure of lockdowns, Dr Berdine turns his attention to Australia in this interview to discuss the illusion of lockdown success, the ethics of vaccine mandates, and whether the claim 'safe and effective' is valid.

Retired lawyer of 42 years Geoff James believes the Northern Territory vaccination mandates are invalid at law (ultra vires) and has published an essay explaining why. This argument is distinct from others we have heard because rather than make a moral judgement, Geoff makes the claim that they are simply and technically not law.
His legal argument is being used by class actions in the Norther Territory to fight mandates.
In this interview he steps us through the broad position of law in Western democracies and how executive rule by fiat authority is on the rise but in no way legitimate.
You can download his full essay here: https://discernable.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/220219_Essay_NT_Mandate_Invalid.pdf

Gina Castello sat down with The People's Project to discuss how her opinion of Daniel Andrews (Victorian Premier) has radically shifted after her grandfather died as part of the 801 deaths in Victoria's Hotel Quarantine fiasco.
Gina is horrified by the way a previously 'decent Premier' reveals himself to be above the law and not subject to the same standards demanded of everyone else.
In this interview Gina lays out the incompetence and inhumanity of the Victorian health system under Daniel Andrews' guidance, and why she will 'never trust him again'.

A note for Discernable viewers:
On reflection in the edit suite, I am not happy with the way I conducted this episode. We had a volunteer producer prepare the run sheet, and out of my own fear of scaring or insulting my guests and the similar people watching an episode like this, I adopted their attitude 'I'm starting to wonder if Dan actually didn't keep us safe at all'.
The truth is, I've never waited for a political leader to 'keep us safe', and it's been more than a year since I gave up trying to justify Daniel Andrews' motivations. It may have been a true sentiment of mine from the very beginning of Discernable 2 years ago, but it certainly isn't now.
Thankfully about halfway through this episode I threw off the run sheet in my mind and became more genuine. Moving forward, I will be more involved in the production of our news shows, and when in front of guests I will find my balls and be a man again. I'm embarrassed by my behaviour, but the story of what Gina and Angelo went through thanks to the Victorian government is too important to miss.

Discernable has given much coverage to the Freedom Convoy Truck Protest in Canada and the positive voices around the movement but with so many Canadians also against the protest, we felt it was only right to hear from their side as well.
Tim Van Winckle is a resident of Ottawa, Canada. Ottawa was the centre of the protest and is a very pro-government city, much like Canberra, Australia. Tim believes the protest was ill thought out, fragmented, hijacked at times, and overall ineffective.
If you follow accounts such as https://www.instagram.com/freedomconvoy2022 you would understand the protest in a very positive light. If you turn on the legacy media, you would perhaps see the protests in a similar light to what is explored here.
As always, make up your own mind and remember that we are all on the same team: #TeamHuman whether we like it or not.

Simon Hill is famous for his work in the plant-based lifestyle movement, his predilection for scientific evidence and his in-depth podcast where he interviews experts in nutrition, and other health disciplines.
We invited Simon to appear on Discernable as a ‘meta-analysis’ of all the studies he has read and reviewed, and all of the expert interviews he has conducted. Simon’s podcast is an excellent resource to dive deep into the details of a particular issue but we wanted to hear from him about the broad momentum of the plant based movement, healthy nutrition, and world agriculture.
As with all of our interviews, we were looking for the ‘why’ and explored Simon’s way of thinking, how to determine good science from bad, and whether he would hypothetically follow the science away from a plant-based lifestyle.
What we found was surprising and refreshing.

Why do people get cosmetic surgery? Is the trend increasing? How does this inform, enhance or distort our self-identity? With a special appearance by Dr Gemma Sharp (body image expert from Monash University), we delve into the world of Body Dysmorphic Disorder and explore exactly why Matt (and millions of others) went ‘under the knife’.
In this conversation we slammed together two worlds: the founder Australia’s largest hair restoration surgery clinic – Mikko Myllymaki, and Dr Ben Buchanan – a clinical psychologist and academic who specialises in Body Dysmorphic Disorder.
With mental health experts warning against the surging popularity of cosmetic surgery, and surgeons fighting to give the people what they demand, are these two worlds at war? Or do they rely on each other in the long run?

Nathan Finochio is a Christian teaching pastor, author, speaker, musician and founder of online seminary TheosU. I sought his thoughts on the Bible’s instruction to ‘obey the governing authorities’ in Romans 13 in light of increasingly authoritarian regimes.
I also sought his review of how the Christian church has handled the response to Covid-19, especially when secular government directions and laws are challenging the historical separation of church and state (an idea that the church should no longer tell the the government how to govern, and the government should not tell the church how to church).

Last night we reported on how Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is 'keeping Canada safe' by freezing the bank accounts of people who are protesting in ways he does not approve of (watch at https://youtu.be/ztaeCN4a10c).
Tonight we take a dive into who the warring parties are - what are the truckers' demands? What is their motivation? And who exactly is Trudeau and the many leaders like him? Why do they press their populations so hard with progressive kindness?
Herein is a lesson for us all. When voting, beware those who come claiming 'salvation'. It's only ever on their terms. Do not fear devils, fear men masquerading as angels:
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.” C.S. Lewis

In what seems like hyperbole from a dystopian nightmare novel, Canada has declared it will freeze bank accounts (without court orders) and cancel the insurance of protestors who do not protest according to what the government deems a 'legal' protest.
The widening of Canada's terrorism financial laws to control crowdfunding and cryptocurrencies in Canada will be PERMANENT and will not end at the conclusion of the Emergencies Act.
In a stunning display of double speak, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reassures Canadians that he will always support Canadian's right to protest, to express their frustration and 'anger' even against the government, and that he will always defend their freedom of speech.

Dr Cameron Murray returns to Discernable to talk virtue signaling and group psychology. As an economist specialising in human behaviour, corruption and property, he conducts research and experiments on the ‘groupish’ behaviour of humans and how those groups are formed, maintained, and dismantled.
A key ingredient of any human ‘group’, ‘tribe’ or ‘crowd’ is the signals they employ and spread to new converts. Group ‘signaling’ explains much of the pandemic reaction we witness today in both government and populations, especially as both health experts and governments openly admit that science is not the determining factor of their policies. The latest admission from NSW and VIC figures is that the performance art of QR code check-ins helps to soothe the anxious in our community, so even though they are now ‘useless’, we should continue the theatre anyway.
https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/jan/27/qr-code-check-ins-useless-in-australias-omicron-wave-but-experts-urge-for-them-to-stay
‘Groups’ form around these sort of signaling behaviours precisely because groups use signals, and signals create groups. Just like Victoria’s ‘creeping assumption’ that killed ~800 people in 2020, the current circular feedback loop is a fertile nursery for the many ‘sides’ you see society divided into today.
So then what are we to do in this groupish world? Matt discusses with Cameron the best ways to see, to form, and to dismantle groups in the name of classical science, academia, logic and reason.

Joined by special guest Bill Lang from Small Business Australia, Discernable will be running an online Town Hall packed with hours of teaching on growing a business income.
Delivered in two parts, this could be the most empowering evening you've had since the entire pandemic began.
Part 1 is for those who have lost their jobs or have resigned and now need to make an immediate income. We will be exploring business opportunity selection and screening, testing and validation.
Part 2 is for those with existing small businesses who need strategy on how and where to pivot, how to diversify and reinforce income streams, and how to take advantage of the market share opportunities that have unearthed.

SCOMO ACTIVATES GOD MODE
The Australian Government exercises its 'God-like powers' to kick Djokovic out of the country and ban him for 3 years, even after admitting that he did not break any rules.
CANADA LOSES IT
The Prime Minister of Canada says that 'anyone who disagrees with vaccination' are usually 'racists', 'misogynists', and questions whether society should 'tolerate' them any longer.
WHO'S GOING TO PAY THE BILL?
The Liberal Party are not the 'good stewards of the economy' that they claim to be. In the end, the people will pay the bill...through INFLATION.
NEW MEDIA HAS ALREADY WON
Joe Rogan has proved by a factor of 5-10x that the 'mainstream media' is not so mainstream after all. There are many, many more eyeballs watching New Media than anything on television.

Damian Coory is a crisis management expert who spent 20 years in Asia leading corporations such as Edelman Asia Pacific. He later rose to fame as a political commentator on his show The Other Side Australia and is now running for the lower house seat of Ryan, QLD in the 2022 Australian federal election.
Disillusioned with the Liberal party which has become decidedly illiberal in Damian’s view, he joined the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) because of what he describes as a rational and logical understanding of history, government and policy.

Topher Field has been a political commentator, speaker and content creator for 12 years. He was our first live guest on Discernable and returns today to discuss his first feature-length documentary, 'Battleground Melbourne: The Fall of the World's Most Liveable City, through the eyes of those who risked everything to save it'.
Classically, 'history is written by the victors' but in the age of new media and indie film-making, Topher has managed to show Melbourne through the eyes of the protest groups who he regularly describes as having 'lost to Premier Daniel Andrews'.
In this interview we discussed the motivation behind Battleground Melbourne, the bias of the piece, history wars and geopolitical realities that we could all be facing in the coming decades.
Topher describes Battleground Melbourne as the 'finest' and 'most important' work he's ever done and in many ways it serves as an answer to the question 'who is Topher Field?'. Watch this interview to discover how Topher thinks, how he evolved, the challenges he sees facing the world today, and where he thinks we are heading.

Novak Djokovic defeated the Australian Government and has been released into the Australian community. How exactly did he and his legal team pull this off?
Going deep on the law and procedures of visas and migration, immigration law professional Anka Sahin sat down with Discernable to lay out exactly what unfolded, from the airport detention, to the court case.
We also discussed the political machinations behind the scenes and how the Australian Government postures endlessly, finally ending our discussion on the plight of many people stuck inside the Australian migration system, often for years at a time.

Gigi Foster is a Professor and Director of Education at The School of Economics at UNSW Business School. She holds qualifications in ethics, politics and economics, and has been speaking out against the ‘Covid Panic’ from the very beginning of the pandemic.
Professor Foster was one of the first to publish a cost-benefit analysis of lockdowns, and quickly came to the conclusion that governments around the world are causing net harm on the lives of their citizens, both from a quality of life perspective and a biological survival perspective.
This discussion is our Christmas present to all who care to receive it – a discussion full of rationality and sense-making, ending with broader perspectives and predictions on what 2022 will look like.

Professor Nikolai Petrovsky invented SPIKOGEN (formerly called Covax-19) which has now rolled out to millions of people with zero deaths, zero cases of myo/pericarditis, and zero cases of thrombosis.
Such a remarkable adverse event profile is, according to the professor, absolutely normal in traditional vaccine development but has been forgotten in a sea of adverse events around the world.
Now approved in New Zealand as a travel vaccine, the professor joined me to discuss a massive range of topics including the science behind spike proteins, C-19 variants, truth in efficacy reporting, natural immunity, viral attenuation, and the future for his vaccine SPIKOGEN.
Nikolai is the Director of Endocrinology at the Flinders Medical Centre (South Australia), Professor of Medicine at Flinders University (South Australia), Vice President of the International Immunomics Society, founder of Vaxine and creator of SPIKOGEN.

John Tamny: More Freedom is SAFER than what we are doing now
John Tamny is the Vice President and Director of the Center for Economic Freedom at FreedomWorks, the editor of Real Clear Markets and Senior Economic Adviser to Applied Finance Group. As an author, his latest publication is ‘When Politicians Panicked: The New Coronavirus, Expert Opinion, and a Tragic Lapse of Reason’.
In this interview we focused on John’s primary argument – that we are witnessing massive swings toward centralised economic planning. This leads to his diagnosis that more freedom is actually safer at the population level, and we are abandoning that safety for psuedo-safety which is actually more dangerous.

In this special episode of The People's Project, Matt is joined by Dr Brendan Moloney from Parallel Movement, and Ken Phillips from Not Above The Law.
We gathered to consider the bold prediction: 'Daniel Andrews Will Lose The Next Election'.
Along the way we examined:
-
corporate polling
-
our own internal Discernable polls
-
the political wind shifting in Victoria
-
the segmentation of voters and the failure of political parties to keep pace
-
the unethical segregation of society and deliberate division
-
the fall of the Rule of Law and why it must be restored
-
why Australians are protesting
-
court cases to fight for the integrity of the 'system'
-
movements to disconnect from the 'system' altogether and start over.
In case you are wondering why my forehead is so swollen in this episode, it's because a bee STUNG ME IN THE FACE! That was fun. I'm either bald and red headed fresh from surgery, or my stomach is hanging out of my shirt, or in this case my head is swollen like an alien. I think we've demonstrated what you get on Discernable might not always be pretty, but it's authentic.

Professor Russell Strong is a world-renowned transplant surgeon who pioneered liver transplant techniques that are now used around the world, saving countless lives.
Throughout his distinguished career, he noticed a strange refusal by Chinese institutions and trainee doctors to commit to abstaining from organ harvesting. Ultimately Professor Strong fears that his techniques and his profession are being appropriated into the immoral organ harvesting market in China.
He also believes that his profession is remaining silent and complicit with the Chinese regime, and has therefore called for countries in the West to place a form of ‘sanction’ on China by refusing to train their surgeons unless they can demonstrate a stand against organ harvesting.

If you've enjoyed the last almost 2 years of 'temporary' emergency powers, you will LOVE the permanent emergency powers being readied for Daniel Andrews over the next week or two.
In this video we covered the initial leaks by journalist Shannon Deery, how the current SOE powers are wielded, why it will likely pass, and why it's the scariest thing we've seen the entire pandemic.
"Lying, cheating, stealing taxpayers money, destroying Victoria.
When it comes to CORRUPTION, the Victorian government is all in it together.
Enough is enough.
No politician in Victoria should vote to give this government permanent emergency powers.”

Professor Nikolai Petrovsky is the Director of Endocrinology (Flinders Medical Centre), Professor of Medicine (Flinders University), Vice President of the International Immunomics Society, Founder of Vaxine and the creator of COVAX-19 and Spikogen.
He joins us for the second time in the follow up interview to discuss the progress of his traditional protein vaccine (COVAX-19/Spikogen), the medical ethics of mandating vaccines, a comparison of vaccine types, concerns with mRNA and adenoviral vector vaccines, vaccine adverse event incidence rates, and the scientific errors being made by politicians conflating community protection with individual protection.
As a vaccine creator, Professor Petrovsky is very vocal on his LinkedIn account against the mandating of vaccines, especially with no scientific justification.
Some may miss parts in this interview where he nonchalantly drops bombshells regarding his now approved protein vaccines. It may be the case that we have successfully created a traditional vaccine, right here in Australia, that completely outperforms the major products on the market today AND has a significantly lower adverse event rate.
As data is released showing the performance of his and other competitor protein vaccines (such as NovaVax) it will raise sticky questions for Australian Health Minister Greg Hunt MP:
-
Why has the Australian government refused to engage with Australian vaccine creators?
-
Why has CSL refused to cooperate with Australian vaccine companies?
-
What are in those secret commercial contracts with Pfizer et al?
-
Are there clauses that prevent competition and consideration of products that are actually safer for the Australian population?

This is a follow up on the David and Goliath story of Swoop Digital vs Twiggy Forrest.
We previously called it 'a story of theft, dishonesty and moral hypocrisy' well now we can add aggression. Ray Poole - the founder of Swoop Digital and owner of the registered trademark - has been countersued by the legal team from Twiggy Forrest's companies.
Ray claims that after our initial expose, Twiggy's company changed their counterfeit logo within days and then threatened a court order 'security for costs' which would force the underdog (Ray) to unfairly stump up a massive sum of cash to proceed. We can confirm that this threat was made, and was made based erroneously on a comment Ray made to us previously that he was 'putting it all on the line'.
Ray contends that this amounts to a denial of right to litigate, and entrenches the cancer in Australia's judicial system that reserves justice for the considerably wealthy and nobody else.
Ray's hope is that Twiggy Forrest himself is not aware of the shady practices of his companies and when it does eventually come to his attention that he will live up to not only his reputation, but the ethical standards that his companies overtly demand on their websites and policy documents.

Acting Senior Sergeant Krystle Mitchell is a sworn member of the Victoria Police in Australia. She has served Victorians for 16 years as a police officer including 6 years at Professional Standards Command - the division responsible for investigating police misconduct, corruption, discrimination and freedom of information, referring investigations to the Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission (IBAC) where appropriate.
Acting Senior Sergeant Mitchell cites ethical conflicts as the reason for speaking publicly about conduct of Victoria Police officers, their Chief Commissioner - Shane Patton, their Minister - the Hon. Lisa Neville MP, and ultimately their Premier - the Hon. Daniel Andrews MP. She feels she can no longer remain silent with the division between police and community is growing, and totally ignored by the leadership of both the police and government.
Despite a promise to focus on 'Community Policing' and 'Back to Basics' policing by Shane Patton, Acting Senior Sergeant Mitchell has witnessed the opposite trajectory during the Covid-19 pandemic and is reminding her colleagues that ultimately they will individually be held accountable for their actions, and are still subject to s 462A of the Crimes Act 1958 (Vic) which forbids the disproportionate use of force.
She is also calling for Victoria Police to remain consistent to the values, ethics and decision making frameworks (such as SELF) that it used to demand of its members a mere 2 years ago.

Internationally famous comedy account Garbage Human has been pointing out the 'Cancer, Degeneracy, Hypocrisy, Cringe' of humans since 2018. Made famous by Joe Rogan on the JRE, Garbage Human accounts grow back like a weed - as often as BigTech censors and cancels his accounts, he rebuilds faster than ever.
It is striking that Garbage Human accounts are regularly deleted despite the fact that he posts no commentary - none at all - on each post. He simply posts screenshots of stupid things people are saying or doing.
Enjoy this casual chat where we talk about the importance of comedy, accountability, and the cultural malaise humans in the western world find themselves in.

So Gladys Berejiklian has resigned as the Premier of NSW, Australia.
Who will replace her? If it's the favourite - the treasurer Dominic Perrottet -there may be a strong change of direction with lockdowns and mandates.
Importantly, we are witnessing a very different approach to public shaming. ALP leaders do not resign, they press on and cement their agenda. Should the conservatives do the same?

Greg Barns SC is the Spokesman for the Australian Lawyers Alliance and author of Rise of the Right: The War on Australia’s Liberal Values (2019).
Admitted to the Victorian Bar in 1986, Greg has been very vocal against human rights abuses and has called for Australia to adopt a Bill of Rights to protect both its citizens and journalists who are tasked with scrutinising governments. He continues to practise as a barrister, lecture in law at RMIT and write for various publications.
In this interview we discussed the erosion of human rights by powerful executive governments in their desperation to respond to Covid-19. Importantly, Greg stresses that the decline in human rights we are witnessing in Australia started long before and pandemic.

‘OPEN YOUR CHURCH’ is the bold cry from Christian pastor, Jesse Newman from Eternity Church in Iowa, USA. Jesse is an Aussie who grew up in Queensland, NSW and Victoria and is dismayed at the lack of courage displayed by Australian churches.
In this interview he delivers something Australians don’t often get – outside perspective – and we currently are looking very weak indeed.
We covered the police and governmental response to Covid-19 and the binds it places on churches because of the way their faith clashes with vaccine mandates, extended lockdowns and any form of segregation.

Self Employed Australia's Campaign for a Worksafe investigation into Dan Andrews:

The Hon. John Anderson AO, the former Deputy Prime Minister of Australia now hosts an incredible podcast where he hosts guests such as Jordan Peterson, Douglas Murray, Dan Crenshaw, Prof Stephen Hicks, Helen Pluckrose, and so many more.
We talked about many things but unfortunately ran out of time before I could get to the second part of my questions which we will hopefully cover in another interview: how he chooses guests, what makes a good interview, the monetisation of podcasting…
Since recording Australia has announced the acquisition of United States designed nuclear submarines. National security was a pressing concern of John’s in this interview and I suspect he would be pleased after the submarine announcement.

Richard Riordan MP
https://www.richardriordan.com.au
Matthew Guy MP has been elected as the leader of the Liberal Party in Victoria, replacing an often criticised Michael O'Brien.
That means it will be Matthew Guy vs Dan Andrews in a David and Goliath battle in November 2022 for who rules Victoria.
I'm keen to see the electorate (and Matthew Guy) wake to the fact that we no longer want to be 'ruled', and we simply want a supportive government who puts us first by allowing us to go about our lives.
Interesting part of this exclusive conversation with Richard Riordan MP on the leadership spill, is that voting for all of the minor parties we love ahead of Liberals is fine in his view - as long as we put Labor last.
This makes sense - with our preferential voting system the only real win the Liberals need is for people to put them above the ALP - even if that's putting Liberals second last, and Labor last. Personally, I will enjoy giving minor parties a whole lot more power in the next Victoria election to break the duopoly.

How do you determine right from wrong? It's a question of normative ethics. This is a critical conversation that nobody is having and yet it is critical as we approach a world full of vaccine passports, government mandates, segregation and a 'new normal'.
Background:
After an Instagram scandal over whether the word 'Retard' can EVER be used, it raised an interesting point. Why are people arguing so fervently over the right thing to do?
Is it possible that we have different ways of measuring morality?
In this special on ethics, we look at the two main perspectives of answering this question: deontological ethics vs teleological ethics.
It gives rise to utilitarianism which explains exactly why and how authoritarian governments around the world are crushing populations in the quest to save them.
It also led to considerations around language, offence, Hollywood, The Trolley Problem, and autonomous driving.
Watch this special if you want a framework on which to hang all of those arguments you keep hearing about and how to find a way through the fray.

Dr Cameron Murray is an expert in environmental economics, corruption and property markets. As a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow in the Henry Halloran Trust at the University of Sydney, Cameron’s PHD on the economics of corruption reveals how endemic and emergent it is to the human condition, which explains so much of the Covid-19 response we are seeing around the world today.
Most startling about this interview was his game theory experiments testing and demonstrating corrupt behaviour emerging through social pressure and group/tribe dynamics. In conversation we analysed social conformity to lockdowns through the lens of his research findings.
I particularly enjoyed exploring the manipulation of groups and how politicians and other leaders take advantage of populations.
His book ‘Game of Mates: How Favours Bleed the Nation’ will ‘open your eyes to how Australia really works’.

While everyone is arguing the surface issues (support for lockdowns, vaccine passports, illegal playgrounds, protests) we are ignoring the underlying warring perspectives.
When people claim 'I have human rights that no law can abridge' they are appealing to a Natural Justice perspective, which has informed much of our historical development in the West - certainly in the field of human rights.
Modern human rights stances can be traced to Thomas Aquinas, and his ideas underpin everything from Occupy Wall St protests to Black Lives Matter protests and now to the anti Lockdown protests and anti vaccine passport protests. Even though politically disparate, they all rely on a Natural Justice narrative.
When people claim 'I'm just following orders/doing my job' they are appealing to a Positive Justice perspective, which arose with Thomas Hobbes and his ideas of 'Social Contract Theory'. Jeremy Bentham furthered Hobbes' work on Positive Justice (and hatred of Natural Justice) in setting our culture of government surveillance, fines, community policing one other, and Chief Health Officer directives.
This momentum of replacing Natural Justice with Positive Justice is seen in our legal systems where legislation increasingly usurps common law and politicians, media and voters all clamour to 'create a new law' to fix the latest problem.
It is also mirrored in economics where the well accepted ideas of Adam Smith (supply vs demand etc) are replaced with Modern Monetary Theory and various other ideas with inductive reasoning.
It is further mirrored in the decentralisation of truth ('your' truth), gender and race identification by intent only, moral relativism and other movements which seek to 'create' rather than 'discover'.
Not that Positive Justice is wrong, or doesn't deserve a place at the table, but we must be aware of the underlying friction to understand why people are so partisan on human rights, lockdowns, mandatory vaccinations etc.

Matthew Guy MP is the former leader of the Liberal Party in Victoria. Today he accepted an invitation to visit an outdoor children's playground with me and explain why politicians are not standing up for our kids over the immoral, unscientific and - until they release health evidence - illegal closure of playgrounds across Melbourne.
We discussed the crisis in mental health, the stupidity of closing outdoor playgrounds, the legality of such disproportionate actions, and the evidence that schools should safely open NOW, long before any vaccination targets are reached.

Breaking the story of David Limbrick MP and Tim Quilty MP protesting on the steps of Parliament in Victoria, Australia.
After Premier Dan Andrews shut down parliament, these two MPs took the only action they could - continue to legally work in their workplace (parliament), albeit on the steps, standing up for the children of Victoria who have been crushed by lockdowns.
Their only demand? Open the outdoor playgrounds and let the kids play. Interestingly, David and Tim are the ONLY legal protestors in the state due to lockdown. They are actually legally still 'working' at their workplace as politicians 'conducting parliamentary business'.

I purchased a cheap second hand keyboard, which honestly sounds pretty tinny. But then I figured out how to connect to a PC and have it trigger the most expensive concert grand pianos in the world.
So now, for a few hundred dollars, I have the absolute best piano I've ever played. The string resonance and the responsiveness is astounding. Even pedal noise is sampled.
You literally cannot buy this grand piano - they've gone and found the best instruments in the world and recorded their sounds so now anyone can have them in their bedroom.
Incredible.
This is just me randomly exploring this new thick sample by Keyscape (the C7 Grand) to see how the highs, the lows, the loud and the gentle sounds. I cannot fault it!
For the nerds: Korg 88 key weighted (B2 in this case) MIDI over USB to PC running Keyscape, onboard soundcard no latency noticed, 3.5mm out into a mixer behind me feeding into my cans and into audacity on the laptop. Didn't want to record on the same machine as Keyscape.

We're safe. Great.
Thank you Dan Andrews, Gladys Berejiklian, Mark McGowan and Anastasia Palaszczuk. There are other Premiers and a Prime Minister, sure, but you four are the most responsible for 'keeping us all safe' from Covid-19 with your 'fast and hard' lockdowns, consequences be damned.
You are therefore also responsible for those consequences. Here is a looming one: the mental health crisis in our children, which is rapidly spiraling into a physical health crisis.
In this sit down with Dr Carolyne Bosak and David Limbrick MP we completely ignored the ballooning weight and other markers of sickness in our children associated with a sedentary and isolated lifestyle. We focused on the elephant in the room - exploding cases of depression, self harm, and suicide ideation caused by lockdowns. These are slowly being proven in the statistics and it was always going to take time because of the lag built into this type of data collection.
Harms from Covid-19 may be more immediate and therefore more apparent, but that does not mean they are more severe than what we must now watch unfold for the coming years. The emerging data showing the mental health disaster is not predicted to peak until mid 2022.
There is a long road to travel.
So, just how 'safe' did our governments keep us?

Dr James Muecke AM is our 2020 Australian of the Year for his work as an eye surgeon over many decades restoring sight for thousands of people around the world. His non-profit organisation Sight For All educates both patients and opthalmic/optometric health practitioners in countries around the world and has seen a correlative rise of poor eye health with Type 2 Diabetes.
This led Dr Muecke to investigate the causal factors behind Type 2 Diabetes which he now considers to be a 'largely preventable and potentially reversible man-made lifestyle disease'. He places the blame at the feet of insane consumption levels of fructose, with a secondary contributor industrial seed oils, causing inflammation and damage throughout bodily systems manifesting early and clearly in the delicate structure of the eye.
He is a campaigner for 'Awareness, Accountability and Assistance' around the exploding Type 2 Diabetes epidemic globally.

A disturbing reality has emerged after Sydney's protests. Previously compassionate friends, family and colleagues have summoned their inner 'Mr Hydes' to now wish upon thousands of people: death, incarceration without trial, sickness, accidents and economic destruction.
Incensed by what they perceive as a gross act of injustice (protesting during a pandemic and lockdown and thus placing Sydneysiders at increased risk) they have reversed the axiom 'execute justice but love mercy'. They are taking it beyond execution and are relishing justice.
It is particularly disturbing to taste the vitriol pouring forth from the same people who ordinarily profess compassion and mercy (whether by their religion, or their secular big-heartedness). They have abandoned their principles. But only because they have confused the verbs.
We are not called to 'love' justice. And we shouldn't - every society that truly 'loves' justice pursues it with a rigour that casts aside mercy as a weak and inconvenient impediment.
Which is odd, considering modern society's desire to clothe itself in the most virtuous causes possible of compassion, equality, acceptance, and understanding.
Such is its desire that we legislate compassion, we erect statues and buildings to equality, we valorise and enforce cultures of acceptance and mercy, but then we discard actions of justice where it competes with mercy.
Because 'love trumps hate', 'mercy over justice' or [insert some other platitude here].
So we 'execute' or 'do' mercy, whilst 'loving' justice. It is a disastrous reversal that may feel good for those indulging therein but ultimately delivers a twisted world where justice is diluted for whatever fleeting wave of righteousness fills our fickle human hearts.
Instead, imagine a world where justice was executed. Always. Where corruption is sidelined. Where courts, police and communities never shy away from doing the right thing. Ever.
But those same courts, police and communities love mercy. They prefer mercy. They look for mercy within the justice. Their hearts were filled with compassion as they executed justice.
This would satisfy both of the hungers within our human hearts: for justice to always prevail, but for mercy to always rule.

Here is an angle on vaccine passports nobody is discussing. Ethics.
As the rise of transhumanism continues and we improve our biological capabilities, we must also have a conversation, debate and regulation around the ethics of this new era in human development.
'If the State is going to discriminate against people on this basis, essentially what they're doing is discriminating against people for simply being human'. - David Limbrick MP
Maybe people will argue and accept this as being morally good but then we must have the ethics side of the argument. The study of ethics used to be in vogue, you know.

There is a developing story that Brett Sutton is not who he appears to be. Bambi may in fact be a wolf in sheep's clothing.

City of Sydney Councillor Angela Vithoulkas joins me to help make sense of the Freedom Protests across Australia. Angela is a lonely voice reading the protests as a desperate cry of ordinary workers and small business owners who have been driven to the brink and feel there is only one channel remaining for them to be heard: protest.

Dr Gary Fettke is an orthopaedic surgeon famous for taking a stand against the meteoric rise of fructose, industrial seed oils and processed foods in our dietary guidelines. In both his own life and his own practice, he has seen lives turned around by embracing a low carbohydrate, healthy fat (LCHF) way of eating based on what is available locally and seasonally.
With his wife Belinda, they have been shining a light on the hidden influences in our nutrition industry which includes nefarious collusion and regulatory capture in western countries including Australia.
For example, did you know that the alternative meat movement in Australia is entirely owned by cereal producing, vegetarian promoting Sanitarium? Or that Sanitarium’s mission is to make Australia vegetarian? Seriously, go check out sanitarium.com.au to see the proselytsing. Or that Sanitarium regularly sponsors projects and announcements by the Australian Medical Association (AMA)?
In this discussion we covered the crusade against animal foods (where it started and why, who is running it now), the nutritional science behind carbohydrate metabolism, the lies levelled at saturated fats, the incestuous regulatory capture of dietetics, the impossibility of mass produced, distributed healthy foods, and the truth about animals farming and climate change/habitat destruction.

This interview was sponsored by Chief Nutrition, one of only 2 packaged food companies that I trust. Chief Nutrition products are based on grass fed, regeneratively farmed cows that deliver the animal-based nourishment that has fueled humans for hundreds of thousands of years, not the processed fare that has destroyed human health over the last fifty.

In episode 2 of The People's Project with guest Dr Thomas Cade:
- NSW (and now VIC) in Prison
Is there any other option for states besides lockdown?
- The Ministry of Truth
Governments would have you believe that there is only 1 source of truth (themselves) but the stories of Ignaz Semmelweis and The Great Barrington Declaration serve as a warning.
- Planning for Lockdowns
There were many pandemic plans around the world that were thrown away as soon as the pandemic hit (Mar 2020). Governments like the states of Australia have pursued an aggressive elimination strategy with obscured access to any supporting health advice or evidence.
- Trust Your Government
Sydney is being subjected to a 'grim reaper' style campaign with many medical inaccuracies. Is this the government we are meant to trust blindly?
The French government has announced vaccine passports from August for anyone 12 years and older, will be required to access all cafes, restaurants and shopping centres. The reaction has revealed that most trust the government's messaging.

Peter Hitchens is the only voice I've found who takes a broader wider view on the surrender of freedom to governments around the world.
He sees a long history, from at least 1914, of people preferring safety over freedom and voting for an ever-larger state that assumes the roles previously occupied by now hobbled institutions such as family and faith.
This interview asks 'Why did this happen?' and is best viewed as a sequel to the 20min summary video where we asked 'What happened?' which you can view at: https://youtu.be/ebr27kk-4m4
We had no planned topics for this 'Why' interview and I was genuinely surprised to hear Peter quickly move us onto the footing of Christianity and its role in the success of Commonwealth countries. He educated and challenged me on concepts like 'the rule of law' which I thought I understood from my legal training. I did not understand.

Bec and Marissa Karagiorgos are fashion influencers with large followings for both their classic style and their outspoken stance on faith in a heavily secular industry. Their fashion label TWICE BLESSED is making waves and has collaborated with global brands such as Dyson, Polo Ralph Lauren, David Jones and Lexus.
As genetically identical twins, Bec and Marissa have a deep understanding of identity and where it comes from. Through their own childhood experience as identical twins and what they later discovered in the modelling and fashion industries, Bec and Marissa developed a keen interest in the formation and expression of healthy identity.
In this discussion we explored: the spectacle of being a genetic clone and how that affects childhood development, the mission of their label TWICE BLESSED, being a social media influencer, the future of men’s fashion and the foundation of Christianity in their lives.

This is the story of Slug Gate. It's a true tale of a family catering business targeted by an unethical council and destroyed with the help of Brett Sutton, Dan Andrews and a mysteriously appearing slug.
On the back of an 86 year old woman's death, iCook foods was publicly accused of infecting a Knox Private Hospital patient with listeria.
What is less well known is that the Dandenong Council (who led the investigation) had a CEO who was shareholder and on the board of iCook's competitor Community Chef. Coincidentally, the hospital contract went straight to Community Chef after iCook was shut down on the orders of Brett Sutton.
New security camera footage shows just how implausible and politically motivated this closure could be, and warns that if they can do this to family owned iCook Foods, then no food business in Victoria is safe.
There is much we couldn't fit into this report, such as the Dandenong Council whistleblower who usually inspected iCook foods. She brought evidence that the Council pressured her to alter previous reports on iCook foods to support the council's new claim of lysteria:

Bindi Cole Chocka became 'The Cancelled Artist' after coming out as Christian in the art world. Initially a wildly successful artist on the back of her edgy work around race and Aboriginality, especially her black face work 'Not Really Aboriginal'.
Despite being lauded nationally as a left-wing hero in Australia, Bindi was 'cancelled' after her political and religious conversion. She also publicly apologised to columnist Andrew Bolt, whom she successfully sued using s18C of the Racial Discrimination Act - a high profile case.

Kelvin Glare AO APM was the Chief Commissioner of Victoria Police from 1987-1992 and has a long career history of fighting crime and corruption both within and outside police forces.
He was a fingerprint expert at the Fingerprint Bureau before quickly rising to Detective and then Sergeant before studying law and being admitted to the Victorian Supreme Court as Barrister and Solicitor. Rising through the ranks of Senior Sergeant, Inspector and Chief Inspector, Kel then created the Victoria Police Prosecutions Division training prosecutors in legal matters to secure convictions for the most gruesome of crimes.
Then, as the first Assistant Commissioner (Internal Investigations Department), Kel rooted out corruption within Victoria Police including spending $42m chasing one corrupt officer over 2.5 years which he claims was ‘worth it’ because it ‘demonstrated that criminality wouldn’t be tolerated and will be chased to the very end’.
Kel was eventually promoted to Deputy Commissioner, Operations where he took charge of the entire force of uniformed police, traffic officers and detectives in Victoria. Ultimately, his time as Chief Commissioner has been remembered fondly by the public for his no-nonsense and apolitical approach to policing, and his focus on community initiatives such as the Police in Schools program which seeks to prevent crime before it happens.
Kel is now Chairman of the Community Advocacy Alliance and is calling for recall elections to be introduced in Victoria to bring accountability to ‘out of control governments’.

Well, I found 'the science'! The long awaited, 'not in the public interest' health advice.
The truth is governments have relied on modelling and health advice often abdicating their responsibility to make decisions and be accountable for them.
How often have you heard them defer to an expert, to a scientific model or to a nebulous 'the science'. In this expose I look at the types of modelling that is being offered to governments, and why governments are acting quite rationally if they choose to completely trust the models.
Overall it paints a picture of not leadership, but 'management'. And increasingly disastrous management at that. We need a new kind of person in charge. Leaders.

There are 4 tracks:
Volume 1: 18min of Piano - delicate movements and warm, satisfying chord progressions with repeating motifs that hold the brain's attention, with only gentle dynamic builds and a minimum of rhythm or overwhelming fortes.
Volume 2: 7min of Soft Pad - gooey and warm structures that rely on chord inversions to convey a liquified sense of movement.
Volume 3: 8min of Piano - rhythmic broken chords and colourful upper intervals to stimulate creativity in the brain through harmonic blends.
Volume 4: 9min of Soft Pad with smatterings of Piano, - descending regal voicings and glassy pads that emanate rest and a sense of hope.

Tim Quilty MP is the Member for Northern Victoria in the Legislative Council. He joined me for a live watch party of Acting Premier Dan Merlino’s lockdown 4.0 announcement for Melbourne.
Throughout this interview Tim advocated for the creation of a new state in the Federation of Australia – ‘Murray’ which is to be comprised of regional VIC and regional NSW. The plan is being called ‘Rexit’ for ‘Regional Exit’ and arose after regional populations felt that state governments are increasingly urban-centric which causes a collapse of regional centres.

We looked at Victoria's Budget and tried to see behind the numbers. Why was it prepared this way? What effect will it have on the community?
We went deep and into the philosophical underpinnings of safety, opportunity and the unknown when it comes to governing a population.
I had a revelation about feeling 'untethered' by what Ryan was telling me. To be honest it was a little scary and I'm still processing the idea. I suspect a lot of my generation has become accustomed to living in a 'zoo' of safety (but not freedom).
Joined by my local Member of Parliament Ryan Smith.

Thinking Music. I've always been frustrated with the 'study music' out there. It's either too busy/distracting or it's very obviously cheesy 'spa' or 'meditation' music.
So in 2015 I created my own. There are 4 tracks:
Volume 1: 18min of Piano - delicate movements and warm, satisfying chord progressions with repeating motifs that hold the brain's attention, with only gentle dynamic builds and a minimum of rhythm or overwhelming fortes.
Volume 2: 7min of Soft Pad - gooey and warm structures that rely on chord inversions to convey a liquified sense of movement.
Volume 3: 8min of Piano - rhythmic broken chords and colourful upper intervals to stimulate creativity in the brain through harmonic blends.
Volume 4: 9min of Soft Pad with smatterings of Piano, - descending regal voicings and glassy pads that emanate rest and a sense of hope.

Aussie icon Dick Smith joined me to discuss dangerous airspace and a dying aviation industry in Australia.
After news broke that John Anderson (former Deputy Prime Minister and Transport Minister) is running for parliament again, Dick Smith wrote an open letter (https://aopa.com.au/dick-smith-issues-open-letter-to-former-aviation-minister-mr-john-anderson/) laying out the deaths caused by a failure to fully implement the National Airspace System (NAS) announced in 2002 by John Anderson.
We also spoke about what happened to Dick Smith Foods.
Dick Smith is not only an Aussie iconic entrepreneur (Dick Smith Electronics) but also a lifelong aviator and former Chairman of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.

Geert Vanden Bossche has been very vocal calling from the complete halt of all COVID-19 vaccinations world-wide. This is based on his [globally-recognised] experience in vaccine creation and what he sees as a grave error that humanity is making during a pandemic.
Evolutionary biologist Bret Weinstein interviewed Geert on The Dark Horse Podcast, and cross examined Geert's warning to the world. They covered both of the 2 major issues Geert is alarmed about:
-
that vaccines without sterilising immunity (the ability to prevent transmission) deployed on a global scale applies too much evolutionary selection pressure on Sars-Cov2; and
-
vaccine-induced antibodies that cannot prevent mutated S-Proteins from causing infection will still bind and outcompete our natural antibodies from our innate immune system.

Naked Media - evidence of manipulative, misleading and increasingly fake news.
Time to explore just how misleading, manipulative and fake our news media can be. Let's dive into:
-
CNN Technical Director admits to the campaign to remove Trump, the upcoming pivot to climate change fear campaigns, CNN interviewers are manipulating their guests...
-
The ABC doctors footage of the twerking dancers in front of the Royal Australian Navy Ship (the ABC have released a public apology).
-
The ABC fabricates footage of Scomo storming off a press conference.
-
Sky News lies that there were only a few hundred people attending the Nov protests in Melbourne, and that they were violent.
-
Victoria Police incite violence at a protest but selective editing reverses the narrative.
And finally, an analysis of the Australian media landscape and the antidote to media manipulation.

Brad Battin MP recently challenged Michael O’Brien for the leadership of the Victorian Liberal Party. I invited him to interview not only on why he took aim at the top job to take on Daniel Andrews, but also to investigate what type of person he is.
He lives with his wife and daughters in Berwick in South East Melbourne and before becoming a parliamentarian Brad worked in the prison system and as a police officer at VicPol.
Disillusioned with the management of Victoria Police Brad later left to open his own Baker’s Delight Bakery before becoming the Member for Gembrook in 2010.
During his time in Parliament he has been the Parliamentary Secretary for the Environment, Shadow Minister for Environment, Emergency Services, Building Industry, Youth Justice, Crime Prevention, Roads (Metropolitan) and Road Safety and the TAC.

Arron Wood was Deputy Lord Mayor of Melbourne until 2020 and served on council for 8 years. He has a long resume of environmentalism that began when, after swimming in the family billabong, he emerged with a rash all over his body due to blue-green algae blooms. Since then, he has taken a practical approach to environmental campaigning and seeks outcomes that benefit not just the environment but also the people and businesses that operate within it.
He serves on boards such as South East Water in Melbourne and the Melbourne Sustainable Society Institute, combining his environmental and business nous to create a sustainable and profitable future. He is currently the Chief Industry Engagement and Education Delivery Officer for the Bendigo Kangan Institute.

Daisy Spratt was born in Queensland, Australia, but raised in the south and mid-west of the United States. Her draw to music started at a young age with artists like Shania Twain and Kenney Chesney, and even Aussie bands like INXS. However, it wasn't until she moved back to Down Under where she learned to play guitar, started writing music and began getting vocal coaching. Her parents didn't see her perform for the first time until she was 15 years old. By 18, she was gigging in local pubs and cafes along the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria. She took every opportunity to perform, and even competed in local and national competitions.
In 2016, Daisy released her debut single "Love Like That" which reached the top 10 on the iTunes Country charts. She went on to release a 7-song EP, which featured her fun single "Soda Pop". In 2019, she wrote and recorded in Nashville, where she released her single "Think Again Boy". Following the COVID-19 Pandemic in 2020, Daisy pivoted from country music to indie pop, with her hit single "Thinkin' Bout You", which was, and still is, raising awareness about mental health. In 2021, she is back in action with a new single releasing on March 19th, which was written with Rob Amoruso and Alice Blake.

Geert Vanden Bossche PhD, DVM is an internationally recognised expert in vaccine development. He has acted as global director of a number of vaccine programs around the world, including for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Teaching and working in virology his entire professional life, Geert is raising the alarm over the global vaccination rollout and lockdown methodology which he believes is causative in the immune escape fears being raised by journals such as The Lancet and Science in January/February 2021.
He presents scientific evidence that ‘innate’ immunity is the actual determinant in recovery from and prevention of COVID-19. This is distinct from ‘acquired’ or ‘adaptive’ immunity where pathogenic response in T Cells and B Cells confers a memory upon the immune system. Vaccines work on the ‘adaptive’ immune system, not the ‘innate’ immune system.
His research points to over-zealous infection control procedures, as well as vaccines that do not produce sterilising immunity, as the two key drivers of evolutionary pressure upon Sars-Cov-2 that may result in vaccine-resistant phenotypes of the virus. If correct, this predicts much larger waves of COVID-19 including in younger, previously resistant people. He describes our current actions to combat Sars-Cov-2 as a ‘giant experiment’ and grossly irresponsible on such a global scale.

Rukshan Fernando - Independent Journalism, Racism and Hypocrisy.
Rukshan Fernando is the creative mind behind The Real Rukshan – a fast growing independent journalism page. Rukshan had the courage to attend all the major protests and rallies in Melbourne, Victoria throughout 2020/21 to document what the mainstream media failed or refused to cover.
Spending a lot of time in his studio editing wedding photos for clients, he often has the news playing in the background and was shocked to witness the hypocrisy at Dan Andrews’ daily press conferences and the way our establishment media report on things. Not only does he catalogue all of these he produces parodies, satires and straight comparison videos that remind us all of how far we’ve moved as a society.

Dr Niall McCrae is a senior lecturer in mental health at King’s College London. He is a prolific academic researcher and was one of the few academics to publicly support Brexit to leave the European Union.
He co-authored Moralitis: a Cultural Virus with Robert Oulds of The Bruges Group in the U.K., where they posit woke ideology as a virus that has infected the West.
His special interest is the dynamics in the child/teen/young adult population and he has been a vocal critic of COVID-19 lockdowns due to the mental health harms caused, as well as the long term impacts on their careers and lives.

Mike Riccard is a small business owner in Melbourne who believes Communism is both the preferred and inevitable evolution of capitalism.
In this discussion I tried to find out why and how…and what a Communist society would look like.
With so much discussion on Discernable over Marxism and other world views lately, it seems wise to seek out those who actually hold those world views to hear what they have to say and how they say it.

David Limbrick MP is a member of Victoria’s Legislative Council (the upper house). A long-time member of the LDP (www.ldp.org.au) he has risen to fame during Victoria’s COVID-19 lockdowns for being one of the only politicians to stand for basic human rights such as school children returning to school.
David has also been providing scrutiny on the government’s State of Emergency laws through the PAEC (Parliamentary Accounts and Estimates Committee) where he has argued that the Victorian Labor government is not following the laws that require proportionality in any restrictions imposed.

There’s something addictive for me watching people mow lawns or build fences on that channel. New media sources like that are taking over our lives and in this episode of the Business Innovation Series we are exploring ‘content creation’.
Why create content? How? Where should business start branding through content?

Richard Riordan is a Liberal MP representing the regional electorate of Polwarth west of Melbourne. With a multi-generational history of business in Colac, Richard turned his hand to politics in 2015 and has been a straight-shooting pollie ever since.
He has some big ideas to explode growth and investment in regional Victoria but most importantly he is a breath of fresh air getting things done via ‘the bush telegraph’ while other politicians talk in circles as their bureaucracies grind slowly on.

Sanjeev Sabhlok resigned in protest from the Victorian Department of Treasury and Finance. He has a long history of campaigning for freedom, the individual, happiness and rational thinking. To know that such an intellect was working within our public service in Victoria is encouraging but also devastating that they lost that intellect.
In this interview we explore not just his thoughts on the illegality and immorality of the lockdowns around the world, but also how he came to his classically liberal philosophy and how that informs his crusade to maximise the happiness of people all over the world.

If you’re old enough to remember the advent of computers – they used to be a specialised device sold in specialised stores for specialised purposes. Somewhere around the 1990s they became commoditised and now the choice of store is mainly determined by price.
Nathan Jungwirt has run a computer store for 6 years in a highly competitive and commoditised sector. Not only that, he has a keen interest in investing, e-commerce and entrepreneurialism.
If you are interested in e-commerce, small business, or investment – Nathan is an inspiring young Australian who is surprisingly well-read. If this is the standard of young Australians, we are in good hands!

Dr Catherine Fyans is a practising G.P. of some 40 years in Melbourne. She was one of the most popular guests in the history of my other show ‘The People’s Project’ where she was able to demonstrate common sense positions on COVID-19, masks and government lockdowns.
Catherine seems to have a great deal of empathy and she agreed to an interview for our EMPATHY SERIES where we sought to explore all things COVID-19, as well as the psychological role lockdowns (and emerging from them) play in all of our lives.

The Covid-19 Hotel Quarantine Inquiry wrapped up this week with counsel assisting submitting that the Government's failures were responsible for 768 deaths and the entire second wave in Victoria. Ken Phillips from Self Employed Australia has triggered a prosecution request by writing to the OHS authority - WorkSafe - under section 130 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004 (Vic).
They are now required by law to take action or detail reasons why they failed to take action, by late December 2020.
Ken asked me to conduct this interview so the true and balanced story could get out. It's a doozy.

When you think of the word 'champion', you probably think of a 'winner' -somebody who takes first place. But the true meaning of champion is more than winning a competition.
It's a 13th Century concept for a person who fights on behalf of another. A champion advocates for something or someone, especially when that someone cannot do it themselves.
This is the noble goal of our political system but I'm sad to say that our parliaments are not necessarily filled with the people's champions.
That's why it's so incredible to have found one in Angela Vithoulkas. It's unlikely you've never heard about before because she is so noisy when it comes to small business being the engine room of our economy.
Angela is a sitting councillor for the City of Sydney, and is the founder and leader of the Small Business Political Party. She's owned many small businesses, you've probably heard her on national television or radio, and she now brings all of that rich experience together into an excellent TV show called SMETV which you can see for free on Youtube. Despite all of this achievement, I think her most impressive feat is catching her first shoplifter at the age of 3.
In today's conversation we'll talk about how business can and will rise from the ashes of COVID-19, but what I really hope we discover is - why is Angela our champion? Was it always there? Or was it created by circumstance?

Arron Wood is not your typical politician. In fact, I'm not sure he's a politican at all! Granted - he does hold the office of Deputy Lord Mayor for the City of Melbourne, and he is campaigning in next month's council elections to become the Lord Mayor. But when I came across Arron on social media, it wasn't via a political ad or a sponsored post. I simply noticed someone who was posting sympathetic, thoughtful, and engaging content, and perhaps most tellingly a majority of that interaction was in replies and comments to other people.
Political messaging is often unidirectional, and getting community leaders to listen and engage in a genuine way is rare but I'm convinced it's the key to electoral success. It would be no surprise to me then should I be addressing Arron as Mr Mayor at the end of next month. And it's my pleasure to welcome him to our Series on Business Innovation which explores how business can and will rise from the ashes of COVID-19, and the unprecedented lockdowns around the world.

Today we are going to the gym. My guest Pia Therese is a small business owner in Melbourne, Australia who risked it all and opened a fitness studio called MFW Fitness. Under what is now likely the world's longest and most severe lockdown, small businesses like MFW have been smashed. And this is despite plenty of evidence that small businesses are not only willing but are capable of opening up in a COVID-Safe way.
Take for example gyms, where we are now learning that they were never a source of COVID transmission, and in fact are better equipped than the government to conduct deep contact tracing because of their detailed and close relationship with their members. This is to say nothing of the fact that COVID-19 is a disease of immunity, like all coronaviruses are, and yet we have seen no messaging from authorities on living a healthy life that encourages a robust immune system.
But It's not just our bodies we are told to hide inside from this virus, daily messaging from our Premier downplays the incredible and growing mental health harms that result from lockdown rules that increasingly appear arbitrary and not based in science.
I'm hoping this conversation with Pia will give us an insight into what's really happening with small businesses in Melbourne, and open up a broader conversation on what we all struggle with but don't admit to anyone - mental health, social media, and the evolving definition of community.

Topher Field demands attention. Not for his own popularity - quite the opposite! In fact, he would rather the spotlight pass him by so he can quietly raise his young family in the suburbs of Melbourne.
But when the world that you are raising those children into appears darker and more authoritarian than the world we grew up in, silence becomes complicity.
For years Topher has warned us that the freedoms we enjoy may have been free to us, but they didn't come cheap. They were in fact purchased, just not by us. The choices we make today decide whether we keep them or dispose of them.
And that's why you just can't look away from Topher. The beautiful thing about this man is that when you dig into him, on the inside is not a doomsday message, but a utopian one. Somehow he remains an optimist and prosecutes the case for hope in forums like his new podcast Living Value.
It was my honour to interview the man, the myth, the legend - to find some clarity around the strange times we are living in.

Damien Silm is an apple farmer in regional NSW who stands to inherit a fortune. I'm not referring to assets, to land or even to the legacy of his great-grandfather who planted those apple trees so many decades ago.
It is clear to me that Damien, as one of the most empathetic people I know, will inherit the future as our world increasingly values empathy in all spheres of life.
Not only does empathy make you a more agreeable person it means that you are more easily able to understand other people's perspectives. And that can be pressed for a commercial advantage when designing products and services that the market actually wants.
It was refreshing to interview Damien for our series on empathy, as he joined me live from the rolling plains of NSW.

Recessions, depressions and downturns are probably the most fertile ground to plant a new business. This is why, and this is how to get started! It's all based around research by the Harvard Business Review, Joseph Schumpeter, Peter Drucker and Bain&Company.
In this podcast we explore:
- The demise of Australian companies.
- Global C-Suite retirements.
- Employees re-evaluating their careers.
- Great companies that were born during recessions.
- The Bain study that proves recessions breed successful companies.
- How companies outsmarted the GFC.
- Opportunities come in only 2 ways: Discovery and Creation.
- Drucker's 7 Sources of Opportunity (Discovery)
- Schumpeter's Creation of Opportunity
- The Blue Ocean Strategy
- Early action, not different action brings profit.
- The Race Track Analogy for crisis management.
- The ABC prescription for businesses in crisis.
- For the CFO: Muscle vs Fat.
- Talent is cheap right now.
Are you better at managing uncertainty or risk? They are not the same thing, and we all gravitate toward one side of the spectrum.
All leadership/management jobs are primarily about managing uncertainty or risk, and yet often we fail in careers and in business not because we are ineffective, but because they are mismatched to our strengths.
In this episode we discuss:
- the difference uncertainty and risk as defined by the famous business thinker Frank Knight;
- Case studies of Aldi vs Kaufland and Tesla vs General Motors/Porsche;
- when to make projections (risk) and when to make predictions (uncertainty);
- how uncertainties can be quantified with big data and transformed into manageable risks;
- the trend toward uncertainty;
- a matrix comparing risk and uncertainty contexts for business management; and
- choosing careers and business opportunities that suit your risk/uncertainty strengths.
Full research, and the comparison table, is at: https://www.discernable.io/post/risk-vs-uncertainty
Competent crisis leadership isn't just about taking wise action, it's about persuading people to carry out those actions.
