  • The People's Project Season 6 Episode 4: VIC Health System in Crisis

    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?

    • Professor Robert Clancy: Covid-19 Narratives, Vaccine Adverse Events, Evidence Based Medicine, the WHO, and Cartography

      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.

    • The People's Project Season 6 Episode 3: Inflation, Cost of Living, The Frankston Serial Killer

      In this episode of The People's Project:

      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?

    • Professor Gigi Foster Explains Inflation and Cost of Living

      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.

    • Jacob Mchangama: What is the point of Free Speech?

      Jacob Mchangama is the founder of Justitia, Denmark's first judicial think tank with a focus on human rights, freedom rights, and the rule of law. A practising attorney for many years, Jacob has become one of the world's most sought-after and awarded experts on free speech driven by his extensive writing and media work. 

      His most recent book Free Speech: A History from Socrates to Social Media chronicles the history of that 'bedrock of democracy' and has been praised as 'the best defence of free speech ever made'.

      He joined Discernable to explain whether free speech is a luxury or a foundational principle, and who suffers and benefits from free speech. We also looked at research on the Australian perspective of free speech.

    • Campbell Newman: QLD's Reforming Premier Tells it Straight

      Former Premier of Queensland Campbell Newman joined us to explain why he is running for the Liberal Democrats in the federal election.

      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.

    • Damian Coory & Topher Field: What is really happening this election cycle?

      LibDems candidates Damian Coory and Topher Field join us to dissect what Australian electorates are thinking. Matt challenged both of them on their integrity and consistency, and why they are so confident of an increased result for minor parties.

      We talked about preferences, parachuting candidates into seats, previous and future results for minor parties, the myth of the Greens being an environmental party, the ‘Teal’ climate obsessed candidates worrying the Liberals, the hypocrisy of Campbell Newman, changing your mind in politics, pork barrelling, and how to discern a good politician.

    • Anthony Cursio: Australians are realising the importance of freedom

      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.
