Breaking new ground in the NBL with Fleur McIntyre

The awesome Nic Naitanui had a clear vision and purpose from day one, and in this conversation you'll hear how that vision led him to fulfil a lifelong dream for his family in the most profoundly beautiful way. 

'Nic Nat' was the AFL's number two draft pick in 2008 and went on to become a three-time All Australian and two-time West Coast Eagles best and fairest.

He is known for his athleticism and power, and is considered a cult hero in the sport but Nic is so much more than an Australian Rules footy champion. He’s a partner, a father, a mentor, co-founder of non-alcoholic beverage company ALTR and an extraordinary role model for what’s possible when you merge hard work with kindness and humility.

The conversation gives a rare insight into Nic's personal life, including his family's immigration from Fiji, his upbringing in a struggling neighbourhood, and his current life as a father and entrepreneur. You're going to love it.

Tess Madgen: The dream of leading the Opals to Gold at the Games

This week's guest granted Luke Darcy a rare interview out of near despair over what is missing in the fight to end the increasing levels of violence against women. The Honourable Will Alstergren is the Chief Justice of the Family Court of Australia and the Federal Circuit Court, appointments that place him at the coalface of family and gender based violence in Australia. The statistics on violence against women in Australia are nothing short of disgraceful.

- 13 women a day are hospitalised each day because of the injuries they receive from violent men.

- A woman is killed every nine days by a current or former partner. 49 have been murdered to date in 2024.

- One in three women have experienced violence since the age of 25.

- Young women aged between 18 to 24 at twice as likely as the general population to experience sexual harassment.
