The Life-Changing Impact of Assistance Dogs with Tim Taylor

Is the Census actually compulsory, can you really be fined, and do they have your name? 

Amidst a flurry of listener calls and online rumors claiming the national count is optional, we are setting the record straight. Ahead of tomorrow's count on Tuesday, 11 August 2026, Brent is joined by prominent lawyer Jahan Kalantar to break down what the Census and Statistics Act 1905 actually says about your legal obligations, penalties, and privacy. 


Busting the Myths: Tackling listener claims that the Census isn't required, that authorities don't have your name, and that penalties don't exist.


The Legal Reality: Explaining the strict legal requirement for everyone in Australia on Census night. 


Fines and Enforcement: Detailing the ABS process—from initial reminders to formal written directions and court-prosecuted fines of up to $364 a day for non-compliance (plus steeper penalties for false info). 


The Bigger Picture: Why getting an accurate population count directly dictates funding and planning for schools, hospitals, roads, and local infrastructure.

If you want the unvarnished legal facts before filling out your form, this is the essential listen you need.

Filling Out the Future – What You Need to Know About the Census with Jahan Kalantar

Today, we are looking up—way up—at some truly mind-blowing happenings in our skies. 

August 12 is shaping up to be one of the most incredible days for stargazing in modern history, featuring a rare cosmic triple play. Plus, we have some fascinating detective work from the Moon, where scientists just caught a spacecraft impact red-handed. In this episode, Brent is joined by our favourite resident astronomer, the brilliant David Reneke, to help us make sense of these celestial wonders. 


The Rare Cosmic Triple Play: Unpacking the staggering 24-hour window featuring a six-planet alignment, a total solar eclipse, and the peak of the Perseid meteor shower. 


The Planetary Parade: How Mercury, Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune line up across the pre-dawn sky. 


Catching a Lunar Impact: How clever Spanish astronomers used an "occulting device" like telescope sunglasses to capture a massive 400-ton plume of dust from a spacecraft crash.


South Korea's Danuri Orbital Proof: Looking at the fresh, black impact scar left on grey moon rocks as captured by a passing spacecraft.

If you want a front-row seat to the universe's most jaw-dropping spectacles, this is an episode you cannot miss.
