What is the deal with our obsession with house prices? Is it right that a basic need has been turned into a speculative investment?
Are rocketing house prices real or just inflation by another name?
Property expert Dr Cameron Murray was one of the only economists to correctly predict a 20% surge in house prices would occur during the Covid years. He returned to Discernable to lay out future trajectories of housing prices and rents and explain what we are seeing in 2024.

Professor Nikolai Petrovsky invented a Covid-19 vaccine. He took his own vaccine. He was fired and cancelled for refusing and calling out the potential dangers of competing technologies (mRNA).
He has been labelled a conspiracy theorist and an 'antivaxxer' in a stunning display of ignorance and doublespeak.

Jay Vidanage is a barrister and solicitor from Old Port Chambers in Adelaide, Australia. Jay believes that it's only a matter of time before the wheels of justice come down on vaccine mandates. He points to recent wins in court that demonstrate a shift in judicial tone around Covid-19, vaccines, and vaccine mandates.
Most concerning is the way mandates and directions are being declared unlawful by courts, for varying reasons, leaving employers exposed for any harms they may have caused their employees by enforcing what they thought were valid government mandates.
Jay delivers a message of responsibility and warning for all employers to ensure they have covered their own backsides in the way they enforced increasingly unlawful mandates.

Something in politics is broken. We all know it. Politicians have become masters of getting elected whilst getting nothing done in the real world. Is there a way to get them to focus on solving actual problems rather than chasing polls and keeping their jobs?
Iain Walker is the Executive Director of the New Democracy Foundation, an independent research organisation that designs and implements 'citizen juries' to various levels of government around the world.
In this interview we explored how citizen assemblies are making an impact globally, gradually becoming a viable and accepted method of decision making.
Tune in to this interview to hear about how politicians are being incentivised to 'stop playing politics' by this new form of public governance.

With so much of our world in seeming flux, decay and upheaval, it is becoming popular to ask if we are witnessing the death of the world we always knew.
Why do our cultures and institutions pursue relentless 'change' with such zeal? Why are we redefining language and logic to support subjective views?
Are we destined for a societal train wreck?

Daniel Lopez is the contributor editor overseeing Australia for U.S. based Jacobin magazine which offers a socialist perspective on politics, economics and culture. He is an active member of the 'Victorian Socialists' party which achieved a remarkable result in the 2022 state election.
Daniel visited the Discernable studio to explore the evils that neo-liberalism has wrought on the world, where it came from, and what points of agreement a socialist perspective might have with a free-market libertarian perspective. Of particular concern was generational inequality, with a growing resentment among younger Millennial and GenZ cohorts who feel they are being left behind in a declining world.

Graeme Cann has been at the forefront of combatting domestic violence and child sexual abuse in Australia for 60 years. He is the founder of The Christian Counselling Association of Australia, and has counselled hundreds of victims and perpetrators of child sexual abuse since 1960.
Graeme has come to the conclusion that 'power asymmetry' is insufficient to explain domestic violence and child abuse, where guilt and shame often underpin pathological behaviours.
In this discussion we explore Graeme's personal experience as a victim of child sexual abuse, the indicators of pedophilia, and why so much child abuse occurs in religious institutions.

These are the stories of ten Victoria Police officers who served in the Vietnam War between 1964 and1972. Plucked from policing the streets of Melbourne, they were expected to serve their mandatory period of national service before returning to Victoria Police with no support, psychological evaluation, or job retraining, often policing protests against the very war they never wanted to serve in, and had just returned from.
Many of them rose to the highest ranks within Victoria Police, with some experiencing debilitating and life-long complications from their time in the military.
In 2023, Victoria Police formally apologised to them and recognised their service in a series of events called âSaluting Their Serviceâ.

Rob McMullan returns to Discernable to discuss the ongoing drift in society toward 'empathising' and 'caretaking' which ultimately leads to mass dependence. Is Australia destined to become a nation of compliant serfs who are comfortably satiated but totally without agency?
Rob foresees a two-tiered society of Elites and Serfs...a 'dependent mass' and an 'inner city elite' as opposed to a mixed and dominant middle class.
Unless and until an inevitable retaliation takes place.

This is a standalone episode summarising the 'Not Above the Law' case against Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews and other named politicians and bureaucrats, run by Self Employed Australia over hotel quarantine failures.
It is a story of government malfeasance, admission and farce (government prosecuting itself), and ultimately judicial activism where the presiding judge created and offered a defence for government that ultimately led to the case failing because of concerns over the mental welfare of Daniel Andrews and others named in the case.
The 57 page judgement makes the point that allowing the case to proceed would cause 'stress of potentially being subjected to prosecution for serious criminal offences' for the named individuals including Daniel Andrews, Jenny Mikakos, Lisa Neville, Martin Pakula, Chris Eccles, Kym Peake, Brett Sutton, Shane Patton, Graham Ashton, Andrew Crisp et al.
Justice McDonald goes on to say that if the case proceeds, 'the 20 individuals identified in the First Request may suffer considerable prejudice'.

Three cancelled medical professionals joined us to tell their stories of censorship by the Australian medical system. All three were de-registered by their professional licensing bodies for expressing views divergent from the âallowedâ opinion.
Since their expulsion from medicine, many of their views have become accepted fact though that does little to restore their careers.
Dr Paul Oosterhuis practiced Critical Care medicine for more than 32 years in Sydney, Australia. On 3rd September 2021, the Medical Council of NSW suspended his medical registration based on four anonymous complaints submitted to the regulator in relation to his Facebook posts.
Dr Robert Brennan taught anatomy and biomedical sciences for a decade before entering medical school and forging a career in mental health care. On 20th September 2021, the Medical Council of NSW suspended his medical registration based on five complaints (four named and one anonymous) in relation to distributing flyers/pamphlets warning about concomitant harms of lockdowns and other Covid-19 measures.
Ros Nealon-Cook was a registered psychologist with more than 20 yearsâ experience until 23rd September 2021 when the Psychology Council of NSW suspended her psychology registration, citing 10 anonymous complaints, related to a video she had released outlining serious concerns around harms to children due to the government pandemic response measures.
Watch this joint interview to hear about alarming adverse event signals, nudge units and medical manipulation, groupthink and peer pressure, medical ethics and faulty science, population psychology, and the state of Australiaâs medical fraternity.

On tonight's show with Ken Phillips and Nick Karamouzis from Self Employed Australia:
VICTORIA IS BROKEN
Once again Daniel Andrews is dogged by allegations of corruption in his government. We look at the systemic nature of 'grey corruption' that is now widely acknowledged across left and right wing media. We make comparisons with Liberal corruption in other states such as NSW.
NOT ABOVE THE LAW
Self Employed Australia provides a final and detailed summary of the entire NATL campaign, and what transpired in Victorian courts. We reveal outrageous moves by judges to assist the Daniel Andrews government, feeding them arguments in court.
ALBO ATTACKS THE GIG ECONOMY
The Australian Prime Minister seeks to 'protect' gig workers by fundamentally changing the notion of a 'commercial contract', forcing 'employee' standards on gig workers. We explore what this really means for anyone self employed, or those who use gig work to top up their ordinary income.
MARXISM IN MELBOURNE
Ken Phillips attended the Marxism 2023 conference in Melbourne, and brings us a full report on what he discovered.
