Mike chats with Daily Telegraph columnist Tim Blair, who says the election campaign feels like an under-rehearsed school play.

From Albanese’s stumble in the Hunter Valley to Dutton’s football mishap in Darwin, Blair compares the chaos to a primary school production still rewriting its script while the show is already underway.

Mike speaks with Lisanne Iriks, Co-Parenting Expert and Founder of The Co-Parenting Institute, about why parents are upset with singer Chappell Roan.

Roan recently called parenting “hell” on the Call Her Daddy podcast, sparking global backlash.

Lisanne explains the anger isn’t just about the comment, but what it reveals—many parents, especially mums, already feel overwhelmed, unappreciated, and judged, and such remarks only add to that frustration.

Mike is joined by Gina Field, Operational Security Expert and Founder of Nepean Regional Security, to discuss how the security industry is still feeling the effects of the tragic Bondi Junction stabbing attack on April 13 last year.

Gina reflects on the lessons learned, the push for industry reform—including armed guards, improved training, and protective gear like stab-proof vests and body cams—and whether these changes can help prevent future incidents.

Phil is joined by Warren Davies, Community Mental Health Recovery Expert and ‘The Unbreakable Farmer’, to discuss how extreme weather is pushing Australian farmers to the brink.

While Central Queensland battles massive floods described as "bigger than Texas," South Australia faces one of its worst droughts in history. Both disasters are causing severe financial losses and emotional tolls on farming communities. Some South Australian farmers are reaching breaking point, while Queenslanders face huge stock losses.

Relief efforts include financial aid, counselling, and mental health support. But while the land may eventually recover, the mental health impacts can last for decades—highlighting the need for ongoing support well after the weather clears.
