With Channel 7 having to pay a contestant damages due to psychological injuries suffered on a reality TV show does this change the way TV producers present contestants to the public and even spell the end of some reality shows?

James Wannon via Twitter

Is there a chance we can get Damian Barrett to rock up to the next Dogs presser and ask about Ugle-Hagan? Got the potential to tip Bevo right over and really test his restraint!!

Chris D’Astoli via Email

Mental health is an issue which impacts many in our community. There appears to be a trend of late that public figures will use this as cover for their poor behaviour or when they are caught out. Events last week of a recently retired AFL player a case in point. As soon as mental health issues are claimed, any questioning immediately stops. Do you see a point in time where individuals simply claim mental health and avoid any culpability for their actions?

Interested to hear your thoughts.

0.0 - Shallow and manipulative or Horribly Admirable Hutchy? Discussion of the Hutchy profile by Konrad Marshall in the Good Weekend and why some people will take pot shots but not put their name to criticism.

7.00 – Winx went around again on Sunday. The horse has matured! Nick McKenzie’s story on 60 Minutes about Ben Roberts-Smith was extraordinary journalism to double down on a story that has already led to legal action. What level of fear would a journalist reporting on stories at this level feel?

Damo’s now in the AstraZeneca bracket (over 50) – will he accept that over the Pfizer vaccine?
