Mike speaks with columnist and political consultant Terry Barnes, a former Howard government adviser, about Labor’s improving position as the federal election campaign begins.

New YouGov polling suggests the government could even secure a majority, with Labor projected to win between 69 and 80 seats, with a median estimate of 75—just shy of the 76 needed for control.

The research also shows Labor gaining ground in 10 key seats and leading the national two-party preferred vote at 50.2% to the Coalition’s 49.8%. With election day on May 3, the race remains tight.

Mike speaks with Sarah Blake, Conflict Strategist & Mediator, about the crucial role dads play in raising good men.

With the Netflix series Adolescence sparking discussions on this topic, Sarah highlights the need for fathers to actively engage in conversations about respect, care, and positive role modeling.

At a time when misogynistic influences like Andrew Tate and harmful online rhetoric are on the rise, dads have a vital role in shaping their sons' values.

By talking openly, sharing positive content, calling out bad behavior, and teaching boys to handle disappointment with respect, fathers can help raise a generation of good men.
