The Dialogue interviews remarkable people By Natascha Moy

David Campese is one of Australia's greatest Rugby Union players, he is also a controversial voice in what can often now be called a vanilla arena. When the court of public opinion no longer allows for the voices of individuals it is good to see that some great stars are still willing to say what they believe. I taught David how to create Podcasts so he can share his own and his professional rugby alumni's thoughts and opinions in a genuine and relaxed manner. But as an introduction, I thought I might soundbite his life story and here it is. You can also listen to Davids Podcasts by following this link https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-ssa53-baa4ad?utm_campaign=au_share_ep&utm_medium=dlink&utm_source=au_share

I was asked by a friend once if Dominatrix's were real or just seen in the movies. Well Kelly is real and authentic and delightful. In fact so lovely that I consider her now a friend. She has perfected an art form, in latex and thigh high boots with a whip and a few other tools of the trade. Some would call her a therapist, some a master... but everyone that visits her professionally is considered a slave.

Nicole Gamerov is making a difference, a big difference to the lives of the people with disabilities and their carers. She started in the corporate world and excelled.

But when her mother lost her sight Nicole realised that there was more that she could do and so she launched My Care Space https://mycarespace.com.au/ connecting people with disabilities and their carers with services and providers in their area. Nicole is a truly remarkable woman, working tirelessly to connect and enhance the lives of people with disabilities.

Yvonne Englman survived hell. Her story is gut wrenching, unbelievable. Her journey from a loved child in a middle class family to the gas chamber is as tragic as it is almost unbelievable.

Now the matriarch of a growing family she has met the challenges of living head-on. A truly remarkable journey and the only interview I ever cried after.
