In these politically divisive times, whether we sit on the left or the right, it’s crucial to engage in respectful conversations with one another.


In this week's Straight Talk pod I spoke to founder of Cheek Media Hannah Ferguson about the current state of journalism and Australian politics.


Hannah and I have different perspectives from our life experiences, but I found it very insightful to hear how she views the world.


We spoke about her experience studying law, starting Cheek Media, the importance of having healthy discourse, her thoughts on Rupert Murdoch, running for Prime Minister, the state of Australian politics, her podcast 'Big Small Talk' and much more. Enjoy!

#126 Do you really want to be the Prime Minister?: Hannah Ferguson on healthy discourse, Cheek Media & political aspirations

Naomi Simson is the founder of Red Balloon and co-founder of the Big Red Group.

In this conversation, Naomi breaks down how she built a business that now delivers an experience every 16 seconds to small businesses across Australia and New Zealand. 

Simson also delivers her unfiltered assessment of the recent federal budget, arguing that too many changes implemented too quickly will cripple business confidence during an already challenging period of technological disruption.

Professor Matthew Kiernan is CEO of Neura Australia and one of the nation's leading neurologists tackling the growing dementia crisis.

Kiernan explores why dementia is now Australia's number one cause of death, the modifiable risk factors that could prevent 45% of cases, and the groundbreaking monoclonal antibody treatments now available for Alzheimer's disease.

Kiernan explains how the Western Pacific region carries 60% of the world's dementia burden and why researchers are racing to develop blood biomarkers that could detect brain diseases decades before symptoms appear. We also get into:
• Why dementia has overtaken heart disease as Australia's leading killer 
• The role of vascular health in brain function and cognitive decline 
• Blood biomarkers coming within five years for early detection 
• Monoclonal antibody treatments for Alzheimer's now available in Australia 
• The connection between contact sports, head injuries and neurodegeneration 
• How GLP-1 medications are showing promise for brain health 
• Sleep's critical role in clearing toxic proteins from the brain

Brain Expert: Why Dementia Is Australia's Number One Killer (Project 100)

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/3e4770d4-dce1-4ae3-8cab-b4520082dae2/transcript

Leith van Onselen is one of Australia's most credible economists and a straight-talking critic of government policy.

 In this episode, we dissect the Albanese government's latest budget and its real impact on inflation, housing affordability, and living standards. Leith explains why this isn't tax reform but simply a tax grab, how immigration policy is driving the housing crisis, and why Australia's productivity growth ranks among the worst in the OECD. We explore the disconnect between headline GDP figures and per capita reality, the expansion of the government-funded sector, and what this means for future generations.

We get into:

• Why the budget won't help with inflation or interest rates 
• How immigration policy is crush-loading housing and infrastructure 
• The productivity crisis dragging down living standards 
• Government sector expansion crowding out private enterprise 
• Capital gains tax changes that could kill startup innovation 
• Bracket creep silently increasing everyone's tax burden 
• The 30% minimum CGT targeting self-funded retirees
