After fifteen years working for aid initiatives across six war zones in the midst of numerous natural disasters, Andrew MacLeod is more qualified than most to comment on the overall effectiveness of some of the world’s leading humanitarian organisations. Joining Macca on this edition of Saturday Magazine, alongside special guest co-host Shannon Reid from ABC News Breakfast, Andrew’s insights had the studio captivated. In far-away lands plagued by poverty and violence, is it possible that some organisations might rely on the unrest to maintain their relevance?
Also discussed on this program is the topic of ex-gay therapies. After the closure of one of the most infamous “clinics”, Inside Ex-Gay’s Dean Beck and Nathan Despott pop into the studio as we delve into the dark and murky world of religiously affiliated organisations devoted to “curing” homosexuality. An incredibly damaging practice with a string of tragic consequences, this discussion had many of us wondering how the practice is allowed to happen in our modern age.
