Australian parents have reason to be concerned about the quality of education received by their children. Despite record spending of around $85 billion each year, international data shows a dramatic decline in the academic achievement of Australian students in literacy and numeracy over the past two decades. In this episode, Wendy investigates solutions with Senator Jonno Duniam.

Despite decades of progress in regards to women’s rights and workplace equality, a paradox remains around the vitally important role of motherhood. Too often in our society, the role of motherhood is undervalued, despite every sound bit of research that shows it is empowering for women in leadership skills, resilience, personal growth, not to mention the most important aspect – the opportunity to influence the future generation in a positive way. In this episode Wendy speaks with Queensland MP, Amanda Stoker.

Antisemitism has reared its ugly head in our nation. Many say it’s no surprise; that antisemitism is an unchanging, intractable scourge. That Esau will always hate Jacob. And the only question is how close to the surface it lies. This wicked hatred that many say has lurked just beneath the surface of polite Australian society is no longer hidden. It has well and truly entered the public square bringing with it terror and fear to Jewish people everywhere. In this episode Wendy discusses the evil of antisemitism with Christian commentators Karl Faase, David Robertson and Stephen McAlpine.

The sound of gunshots echoing from Bondi Beach on December 14, 2025, were heard by the congregation at Bondi Anglican Church, not far from where the violent attack on Jewish Chanukah celebrations occurred, resulting in the deaths of 15 people.

But as they went to leave, mayhem was breaking out with a crowd of people surging around the church building.

Australia is one of the world’s leading democracies, but we can’t take it for granted. The Australian newspaper recently published ANU research showing that only 43.8% of young Australians aged between 18 and 24 believe democracy is always the preferable form of government.

With the war in Iran impacting everyday Australian’s bottom dollar, the war between Ukraine and Russia is rarely reported on in our news.

We live in a world of competing opinions, ofttimes adamantly held and defended. The virtue of civility and the ability to ‘agree to disagree’ is in danger of disappearing in today’s cancel culture. In this episode, Wendy interviews three public figures - Karl Faase, Steve McAlpine and David Robertson - all of whom have experienced robust online pushback, and have (mostly!) managed to skillfully diffuse the angst.
