Can I choose to work on Australia Day?

"You can’t see it on an X-ray, and you can’t test for it while you’re alive—but for thousands of Australians, the ghost of past head knocks is becoming a daily reality."

We tackle one of the most confronting frontiers in Australian health: CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy). While we often associate this degenerative brain disease with the gladiators of the NRL and AFL, Kimberly Roberts from Dementia Australia joins the show to reveal a much broader crisis. From military veterans to survivors of domestic violence and weekend warriors playing community rugby into their 30s, the risk of repeated sub-concussive hits is a ticking time bomb for many.

"The Invisible Scars": When the Game Leaves a Lasting Mark on the Brain

"We are treating this like we’ve got all the time in the world. We’re not running out of fuel—we’re running out of preparation."

As petrol stations across the country see yellow "Sold Out" signs and queues snake around the block, the narrative from Canberra isn't matching the reality at the pump. This evening, we are joined by John Blackburn AO, former Deputy Chief of the Air Force and the man who has been "belling the cat" on Australia's fuel vulnerability for over 16 years.
