In the previous episode, we mainly looked at the early years of childhood. In part two we look at the teenage years with former School Principal / behaviour expert Mark Smith and Child Psychologist Clare Rowe. Both examine the importance of being in a positive group. However, some groups are not so positive and can cause lifelong damage. Something to think about for parents, grandparents, teachers and anyone interested in the development of healthy teenagers.

Being a child is no longer what it was. Childhood anxiety, and the accompanying psychological analysis has left thousands of children with a lifelong label and an even more harmful dependence on pharmaceuticals. In this look at childhood anxiety in the early years, I speak to Clare Rowe, an outspoken child psychologist about the causes and outcomes of childhood anxiety. Part 1 of 2.

Discussion about this episode

Australians head to the polling booths very soon. While the media say the election is all about cost of living, energy and housing, it’s about much more than that.

In part 2 of Conversations with a Libertarian, Policy Director Mark Hornshaw discusses immigration, free speech and making a vote count. There’s also some sticky questions from listeners on education, the NDIS and gender affirming care. As the 2025 Australian election draws near, there’s food for thought whatever flag you wave.

The 2025 Federal Election in Australia follows the most divisive period in our history since the Iraq War. While the two major parties focus on the economy, climate and energy, the enormous social issues that concern the electorate are being ignored.

Unrestrained immigration, increased youth crime, the assault on freedom of speech, gender ideology madness and the rising cost of living have changed the lucky country to a fractured shadow of itself. Could the so called ‘minor parties’ stop the bleeding? The Libertarians explain why they are solid alternative to the two party system. (Part 1 of 2).

In 2024, Australia’s Federal Government allocated $7million to the country’s largest LGBTQA lobby group - ACON, to create a Cervical Cancer Screening campaign for women. The campaign did not go to tender with the final outcome being a campaign aimed at “Women and people with a cervix”. Biological fact tells us that only women have a cervix. Is the campaign misinformation, disinformation or just government sponsored activism. You decide.
