National Days for December 1

Wake Up with Mike Jeffreys - Monday 1st December 

Mike is joined by Terry Barnes — columnist, political and policy consultant, and former adviser in the Howard government — to discuss Sussan Ley’s comments that migrants should “fit in with our way of life.”

Ley says the Coalition is considering tougher values and language tests as part of its new migration policy. She argues current social tensions are the result of government failures, not migrants themselves.

The Coalition plans to finalise its migration policy before the end of the year.

Mike speaks with relationship counsellor and bestselling author Amanda Lambros about why more women than ever are choosing to remain child-free.

 Australia’s falling birthrate is well known, but the reasons are wide-ranging — from cost-of-living pressures and climate concerns to fertility issues.

Amanda explains that many women in the “child-free by choice” community point to the unequal load of parenthood and a lack of systemic support.

And while this is different from being childless by circumstance, many still feel nervous admitting their choice because they fear being judged.
