LEARN MORE Anyone who’s ever woken up to an enthusiastic tail wagging by the bed or found comfort in a gentle paw on their lap knows that dogs have an incredible ability to lift our spirits and positively impact our mental health.
After a long day at work, there’s nothing like coming home to a friendly face. Especially one who doesn’t offer well-meaning advice or ask a bunch of questions and is simply happy to curl up on the couch with you.




 Researchers have found that dogs can actually help us manage stress and anxiety.
So can dogs really affect our mental health? Let’s dive in.
Dogs impact on your mental health
“Dogs are the antidote to reality TV and social media. In front of a dog, you can just be. They don’t care if you’ve got makeup on or if you’re in a bad mood. They are the only ones who never offer solutions. And yet are incredibly helpful in their non-judgmental way of being,” explains author and trauma counsellor, Angelika von Sanden.
In her book Sit, Stay, Grow: How Dogs Can Help You Worry Less and Walk Into a Better Future, she explores how mindful interactions with our canine companions can transform our mental well-being.
“Working as a social worker and therapist for decades, I not only heard stories of heartbreaking pain but also about the many times dogs were named as the purpose to keep going, the shoulder to cry on, and the one steady and non-judgemental being in people’s life.”
Based on principles of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), the idea is that daily walks, playtime, and even just observing our pets can help us overcome negativity, find joy, and live more meaningful lives.
The key, Angelika says, is treating ourselves with the same kindness we extend to our animals.
“What if you treated yourself the same way you treat your dog?” she asks. “If you notice you talk to your dog worse than you talk to yourself, go to your dog and apologise! But usually, it’s the other way around. We treat our dogs with so much more love and patience than we give ourselves.”

Australians living... LEARN MORE Australians living with HIV and AIDS can look forward to greater financial security, as life insurers will treat their condition the same as any other medical condition.
The Council of Australian Life Insurers (CALI) has strengthened the Life Insurance Code of Practice to formalise the industry’s support of people living with HIV.
“Life insurance plays a vital role in providing a financial safety net for all Australians and these changes help to make it more accessible to more people,” said Christine Cupitt, CEO of CALI.
“These amendments reflect the modern society we live in and a deep commitment by our members to fairness. Life insurers recognise the significant advances in medical science that are transforming the lives of people living with HIV and AIDS.”
While many life insurers have already implemented these practices, Ms. Cupitt said formalising them in the Life Insurance Code of Practice was a strong signal of the industry’s commitment to modern standards of privacy and fairness.
Among the changes, insurers will no longer ask about an individual’s sexual preferences and practices to determine their risk of contracting a sexually transmitted infection (STI), including HIV and AIDS, during the underwriting assessment.
Dr. John Rule, Senior Research Manager for the National Association of People with HIV Australia (NAPWHA), said he welcomed these reforms with a new sense of optimism.
“We are pleased to see that individuals living with HIV or AIDS will be treated just like any other medical condition when determining coverage. We look forward to continuing to work alongside the industry to advocate for Australians living with HIV and AIDS,” he said.
The changes represent an important step toward fostering a more inclusive and supportive environment within financial services.

LEARN MORE South Australia is moving to bring in laws forcing people to be tested for HIV despite a report in New South Wales describing similar legislation as ineffective and unneeded.
Health organisation Thorne Harbour Health has expressed strong opposition to the South Australian Government’s proposed Criminal Law (Forensic Procedures) (Blood Testing) Amendment Bill 2024, citing concerns over its scientific validity, potential to spread disinformation, and its exacerbation of stigma toward people living with blood-borne viruses (BBVs).
The bill intends to protect frontline emergency services workers by mandating blood testing of individuals who spit at or bite them. Yet, expert bodies such as the Australasian Society for HIV, Viral Hepatitis and Sexual Health Medicine have firmly stated that mandatory testing for BBVs is not an effective or evidence-based approach to public health.
“We support policies that ensure a safe workplace for all workers, including emergency services personnel. However, this bill is not an evidence-based approach to achieving that goal. It creates unnecessary anxiety for workers and does nothing to improve public health outcomes,” said Thorne Harbour Health Vice President and Secretary of the HIV Justice Network, Paul Kidd.
“The bill, as drafted, does not consider the actual risk of transmission,” said Kidd.
Throne Harbour Health argues that Testing should only be permitted where there is risk of transmission. HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C cannot be transmitted through saliva, meaning spitting does not pose a risk.
They also advocate that testing should only be ordered within 72 hours of alleged exposure, as this is the window in which prophylactic interventions (such as post-exposure prophylaxis, or PEP) can prevent transmission. They say the proposed six-month time frame is ineffective and misleading.
They also highlight that emergency service workers should undergo immediate medical treatment if a risk is identified, rather than waiting for mandatory test results that may be misleading or delayed.

There, he played a pivotal role in creating the Rainbow Door helpline for family violence and mental health support.
He is part of the Expert Advisory Group for the Federal Government’s 10-year LGBTIQA+ Health and Wellbeing Plan.
In his new role as Victorian Commissioner for LGBTIQA+ Communities, Joe will work to support the rights, safety, and wellbeing of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and gender diverse, intersex, queer, and asexual communities.
The Commissioner plays a leading role in implementing the Pride in our future strategy. The strategy is the Victorian Government’s 10-year plan for LGBTIQA+ equality. It involves all parts of the government. The Commissioner will help to engage and activate government, sectors, and the community to ensure its implementation.
The festival is held in the gay capital of regional Victoria – Daylesford. From humble beginnings, ChillOut has grown to become the biggest and longest-running Country Queer Pride event in regional Australia, and the largest festival in the Hepburn Shire.
While events in the capital cities might be a lot bigger, ChillOut retains a relaxed, down-to-earth atmosphere with plenty of opportunities to let your hair down, and has found a special place in the hearts of the LGBTIQ community across Australia – and the world.

LEARN MORE Riya Rajesh,  recently conducted a new piece of research around LGBTIQA+ student experiences in Victorian schools, they discussed the outcome of this research and what has been found?  How was the research developed and conducted to get the best information? Now you have this data and information, what are the next steps to inform the sector and improve the lives of LGBTIQA+ students?
Riyah’s research noted the real lack of data around this aspect of the school experience for LGBTIQA+ students and the research has been supported by the Healthy Equal Youth grant scheme.
Victorian Student Representative Council to share a recent piece of research we have worked on, around LGBTIQA+ student experiences in Victorian schools. 
As the peak body for Victorian students, we consistently hear that many queer students are facing discrimination at school which impacts their wellbeing and engagement. While this is clearly a priority for Victorian students, we noticed that there is a real lack of data around this aspect of the school experience for LGBTIQA+ students. Given this, we decided to bridge this gap in research with the support of funding from the Healthy Equal Youth grant scheme. 
The value of co-research:
What makes this project unique and especially valuable is its co-research basis. In approaching this project, we recognised the value of combining lived experience expertise with existing research. We did this by empowering a student co-researcher, Disha, to shape each aspect of the research process. Through this, VicSRC aimed to gather a comprehensive understanding of this research area in a way that is genuinely reflective of what students want and need to convey. You can read the report here!

“For me, reading is a way of understanding – a person, a feeling, a place ect, so when I came out, my first thought was to find a book that might help navigate what was going on. I remember discovering Hares and Hyenas and thinking, ok, I’ve got this – I just need to find the right book! Terribly naive, but I guess it goes back to how important representation is and how valuable it is to have a wealth of experiences reflected in what we read…fast forward and queer lit is much more mainstream, which is fantastic.”

“Newly published research has found clear evidence that openly lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex, and queer+ (LGBTIQ+) Australian politicians were disproportionately targeted with personal abuse on social media at the last federal election.

Simply logging off is not an option for candidates, who need to communicate with voters. As a result, some politicians will continue to face risky online visibility”.

LEARN MORE Here’s what to know about Trump’s Executive Orders.
Attempt to Re-define Sex As Binary:
This order claims there are only two sexes, male and female, defined by the production of reproductive cells “at conception.” Science doesn’t agree with this definition—no embryo produces reproductive cells at conception. The goal is to push an ideology of erasure of both transgender and intersex people. This definition of sex doesn’t address people with variations in their sex traits, such as those with ovotestes who may produce both sperm and ova, or no gonads who produce neither. Like all EOs, the impact on intersex people will depend on how government agencies choose to interpret and enforce it.
What are we seeing right now? The most immediate impact has been difficulties for folks getting or renewing passports—we will continue to provide updates as this develops. You can read more in our Official Statement.
Restrictions on gender-affirming care:
This order seeks to prohibit access to healthcare for many transgender young people (including adults aged 18). The order likely impacts healthcare for people with variations in their sex traits. Intersex people also seeking gender-affirming care, or perceived to be, may find their healthcare restricted. Many intersex people also depend on providers who offer trans care such as endocrinologists due to their knowledge of hormones. When consensual care is banned, all young people risk losing access to necessary healthcare.
What are we seeing right now? While there is currently no enforcement, many hospitals are pre-emptively complying with the order and ending hormonal care for adolescents, such as puberty blockers. We collaborated on an explainer with LGBTQI and legal organizations on the EO to provide more information.
Restricting students from playing school sports:
This order is an attack on transgender girls in school sports, but also an attack on all girls and women. Enforcing strict “sex”-based sports policies will likely encourage harassment, scrutiny of women’s and girls’ bodies, and invasive exams. The order incorporates the administration’s previous redefinition of “male” and “female,” which leaves out some intersex people. It is unclear how this order will be enforced, but it’s possible some intersex students may be targeted due to visible differences, being out as intersex, or due to other forms of enforcement.
What are we seeing right now? While enforcement has not yet begun, any order targeting Title IX funding could put schools that do not comply at risk of losing financial support. You can learn more in our statement on Instagram or Facebook.
None of the EOs mention intersex people specifically—they are systematically scrubbing mentions of intersex people from government websites.]]> JOY 94.9 - Queer Podcasts for all our Rainbow Communities: Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex, Queer, Questioning, Asexual, Ally, LGBT, GLBT, LGBT+, LGBTQ, LGBTI, LGBTIQA+, LGBTQIA+ full false 16:03 Saturday, 15th, February 2025: Euan Ritchie, Prof Wildlife Ecology & Conservation, Deakin Uni.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has shelved the proposed reforms to Australia’s 25-year-old environment laws, citing a lack of parliamentary support for the changes.
The decision breaks Labor’s 2022 election commitment to overhaul the protections. The Albanese government is now the latest in a string of governments that have tried and failed to reform the law known formally as the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act.
This is despite two major independent reviews calling for wholesale change.
Labor’s capitulation does not, however, change the facts. Australia’s natural environment is deteriorating rapidly. Laws are urgently needed to protect our nation’s valuable natural assets.
Establishing effective laws is an investment that will benefit Australia’s biodiversity, economy, cultural values, health and wellbeing. Nature is now a key 2025 election issue.

The highly pertinent case of a little-known independent candidate in the Victorian seat of Wannon has exposed a gaping hole in Australia’s electoral laws, which allow for misleading political advertisements in the lead-up to an election campaign. It’s all entirely legal and is already being exploited to try to shape the outcome of the coming federal election.
Conservative activist group Advance Australia has widely distributed digitally altered flyers attacking independent Alex Dyson, who is challenging senior frontbencher Dan Tehan.
It’s part of a campaign to damage Dyson’s electoral prospects after he helped slash the Liberal Party’s margin in the seat at the last election to less than 4%.
The material depicts Dyson ripping open his shirt in a “Superman” pose, to reveal a t-shirt bearing the official Greens party logo.

As anti-trans rhetoric and attacks reach a fever pitch in the US, young people, their families, and communities will rally across Australia in support of trans youth.
 
The actions are in response to QLD Health Minister Tim Nicholls announcing a pause on prescribing puberty blockers and hormone therapy to new public health patients under the age of 18.
 
Jackie Turner, Director of the Trans Justice Project (she/her) said, “This cruel ban is the first of its kind in Australia, and it must be reversed immediately. No one wants to see the hateful US-style scapegoating of communities happening here.”
 
“Governments cannot be allowed to ban vital, evidence-based healthcare solely on the basis of their political beliefs.”
 
“Communities nationwide, from Busselton and Wagga Wagga to Shepparton and Broome, are rallying today to show trans young people in Queensland that they are not alone.”
 
The Minister’s decision will halt evidence-based healthcare for 491 young people and their families – many who have been on the waiting list for months, and even years.
 
Hannah, A Brisbane mum whose daughter’s care has been impacted said, “This has been incredibly stressful for our family. My 15 year old has been on puberty blockers for four years and was just days away from going on HRT. Now that can’t happen. Like all teenagers, she just wants to look like her friends at school and express who she really is.”
 
“The Minister’s decision puts our young people’s lives at risk. As a parent I can’t stand by and watch that happen. The Queensland government must reinstate care and increase funding for the Queensland Children’s Gender Service.”
 
Peak medical bodies including the The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists, Australian Medical Association Queensland, and senior members of the The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners have condemned the ban and warned that denying vital medical care to trans youth could have devastating consequences.
Rally attendees will be invited to donate to support the 491 young people who have been kicked off the waiting list in Queensland to seek access through the private system instead.
 
The day is organised by the Trans Justice Project, a trans-led organisation working to build a future where all trans and gender-diverse people are safe, celebrated, and free.

While there is considerable political hyperbole and Trumpian allusions in Dutton’s statements, there are areas where legitimate savings could be made by whoever wins the coming election. That includes a second-term Albanese government, which would need to find efficiencies to offset promised wage increases”

Currently Australians face the same ban on donating blood and plasma as those in New Zealand.
“Gay men, bisexual men, transgender women and some non-binary people who have sex with men, are expected to abstain from sex for three months before giving blood because of outdated fears about HIV infection” they state on their website.
“We congratulate New Zealand’s blood authorities for taking a step that will mean a new source of safe for New Zealanders in need and less discrimination in blood collection” he said.
“New Zealand now joins the UK, US, Canada and an increasing number of other countries that assess all donors for their individual sexual risk, rather than barring entire groups regardless of individual risk.”
“We urge Australia’s blood authorities to follow New Zealand’s lead as quickly as possible, or risk being seen to maintain a blood collection system that is archaic, inefficient, discriminatory and out-of-step” he concluded.

LEARN MORE Macca and Paul talk to Son Vivienne, as they discuss New ruling In case of Giggle vs Tickle, Midsumma Ruling
The Giggle for Girls app was developed by Grover in 2019 in order to “create a little corner of the Internet where women… could have a refuge away from men” for networking, support, and friendship (paragraph 95 of the decision). Her precise intentions for the women-only “refuge” and whom it aimed to exclude became clearer through her testimony about the onboarding process. Grover had enlisted the support of a “gender detection” feature from the artificial intelligence (AI) system Kairos to screen users. According to Grover’s affidavit, the AI facial recognition process was “the digital equivalent of what human beings do every day in perceiving sex, in particular male sex.” As she further clarified, she “did not consider the use of the word ‘gender’ in the context of its ‘gender detection feature’ to mean anything other than the detection of biological sex.” Implied in this sex/gender equivalence, and later explicitly admitted in cross-examination, was Grover’s belief that the term “women” only included cisgender women.
In February 2021, when Tickle, a transgender woman, uploaded a selfie and the AI system allowed her access to the app, Grover’s vision of an exclusive women-only space and Tickle’s gender identity were set on a collision course. About eight months after joining Giggle, Tickle found that she could no longer post content or comment on posts by other users. Soon after, when she tried to buy premium features on the app, she received a “User Blocked” message. Unbeknownst to her, Grover had been manually reviewing admitted users’ onboarding selfies. The court later found that Grover had personally blocked Tickle’s access to the app based on a “quick and reflexive” judgment that she appeared to be male. After her access was blocked, Tickle tried to contact Grover several times by email and phone, but aside from one missed call from Grover, they had no communication. Tickle’s access to the app was never restored.

Eating rabbit, camel, carp, feral cat, deer and cane toad might sound extreme to some, but it’s gaining attention as a solution to tackle the growing impact of invasive species.
Now, Tony Armstrong hosts the ABC series Eat the Invaders, inspired by artist Kirsha Kaechele’s 2019 cookbook and MONA exhibition Eat the Problem.
Over the course of the series, Armstrong talks to chefs, conservationists, Indigenous Elders, researchers, food producers and the general public to explore the idea of eating these species to reduce their populations.

LEARN MORE The Australian government has launched its News Media Assistance Program, throwing a lifeline to public interest journalism and local news.
The latest push for a more diverse and sustainable news landscape also saw community broadcasters receive a modest but much-needed boost to their funding.
The announcement, worth $180 million overall, is a welcome pre-Christmas gift for struggling media outlets.
But it largely overlooks the importance of community broadcasting in providing accessible, community-engaged news. The program falls short of meaningfully helping the chronically underfunded part of the media landscape.

LEARN MORE In December 2021, Kathleen Maltzahn participated as a speaker in an online event titled “Gender equality in and out of court: Affirmative consent, restorative justice and sexual assault law reform,” hosted by Gender Equity Victoria and Sexual Assault Services Victoria. This event discussed the Victorian government’s commitment to introducing an affirmative consent model in rape and sexual assault laws, exploring the implications for gender equity, violence prevention practitioners, and victim-survivors of sexual violence.
As of 2024, Maltzahn serves as the Chief Executive Officer of Sexual Assault Services Victoria, a prominent organization dedicated to addressing and preventing sexual assault.
Macca and Kathleen discuss ‘Not Alone’.
Not Alone is a trauma information group for adult gay men who have experienced sexual abuse in childhood.
It is an 8-week online pilot program for 8 – 15 attendees using a secure online platform.
The group offers participants an opportunity to understand how trauma impacts them today and provides trauma information in the context of establishing safety.
It is best suited to people who haven’t received extensive support or information on sexual violence impacts and are seeking a supportive space with other gay men who may have had similar experiences.
https://www.sasvic.org.au/notalone
This group will be delivered by senior counsellor advocates from three specialist sexual assault services (South East CASA, Sexual Assault & Family Violence Centre & Eastern CASA), and evaluated by SASVic.
A counsellor advocate is someone who has special training in listening and helping people after experiencing sexual assault or abuse. They can also help someone to understand their rights, explore their options, make decisions and to report to police (if that’s what they want to do). They support people no matter how long ago the sexual violence happened.

Victorian backbencher Josh Burns said on Thursday afternoon that he had made “representations inside government” after Labor on Sunday walked back a pledge — contained in its 2023 national platform — to count the queer community in the 2026 Census.

And a few hours later, the government’s social cohesion envoy Peter Khalil said he had been doing the same.



“I think that the Census … is a really important tool to be able to gather data; to be able to gather information that feeds into the delivery of government services to hopefully get better health outcomes,” Burns told ABC television on Thursday.


He said the LGBTIQ+ community “deserves to be included” and the government needed to consider its decision.


Burns also broke  ranks  with  his  party  in  May,  over its decision to back a non-binding United Nations General Assembly resolution that recommended the Security Council “favourably” reconsider Palestinians gaining full membership.

The backflip and lack of data supporting the Census decision have prompted a swift backlash from advocates, LGBTIQ+ groups and experts alike. Along with crossbenchers, they are urging the government to reconsider its decision.

Generative AI (GAI) tools are foundationally shifting modes of creative production, as entire paintings and songs can be generated within seconds with minimal human direction
In both Europe and the United States, courts seek to deny copyright to works developed  with Generative AI (GAI) tools, in an effort to separate GAI-outputs from non-GAI works. Yet there is an infinite spectrum of uses of GAI tools, from those that negligibly affect the final work to those that conjure entire works with negligible effort.

Discovering Kanye West is praising Adolf Hitler, John Safran heads to America to find out what’s up. Kanye proves elusive, one thing tumbles into another, and John packs his duffle bags and moves in, squatting at one of Kanye’s mansions in the rolling hills of Los Angeles.
Will the neighbours get wise and snitch to the cops? Are the creatures in the woods behind the mansion a worry? Will Kanye return? More paranoid each day, John becomes convinced the house itself is turning against him.
Alone with his thoughts in Kanye’s haunt, John finds himself asking where he fits into the world as a Jew. Dangerous and hilarious, Squat examines just how precarious identity and belonging can be.

“I put my hand up because I’m frustrated by the lack of action we’re seeing from the two major parties,” Ms Di Camillo said, flanked by Victorian party leader Ellen Sandell and senator Steph Hodgins-May.
“We cannot trust them to tackle the climate crisis, the housing crisis and the cost-of-living crisis that so many people in my community in Prahran are experiencing.”

Vicki is grateful to live in such a beautiful part of Melbourne – a hidden gem under a tree canopy so close to the city – and has done so for majority of her life. She lives in Eltham with her partner, where they are raising their two daughters. Vicki knows the area and people well; she grew up in Research, where her parents bought their first home on a dirt road opposite a farm. Her parents are life members of Research Junior Football Club in recognition of their years of voluntary service. This showed her early on the importance of community, volunteerism and if you want something done, get in there and help.
Vicki believes in community, that we need to be there for each other and feel connected to our neighbours. That there is a very important role for Government to play in supporting people in finding and creating opportunities for themselves, but also extending a helping hand to those who are struggling.

‘SYSTEM-WIDE’ CHANGE: 10-YEAR ACTION PLAN FOR BETTER LGBTIQA+ HEALTH
The Albanese Labor Government has today released an Australian-first roadmap to improve the health and wellbeing of the LGBTIQA+ community.
The National Action Plan for the Health and Wellbeing of LGBTIQA+ People sets out an ambitious plan to improve the care and support LGBTIQA+ people receive and deliver better physical and mental health outcomes across the community.
The National Action Plan for the Health and Wellbeing of LGBTIQA+ People sets out an ambitious plan to improve the care and support LGBTIQA+ people receive and deliver better physical and mental health outcomes across the community.
Accompanying the release of the Action Plan is a $15.5 million investment to kick-start system-wide improvements to give LGBTIQA+ people access to safe, appropriate and stigma-free health and wellbeing care.
Research has found LGBTIQA+ people experience significant health disparities in comparison to the wider community. One in three LGBTIQA+ people rate their health as poor or fair and three in four have experienced a mental health condition.
To address these disparities, the Action Plan will guide government action to make safe, inclusive and high-quality health care available to all LGBTIQA+ people. The key areas of focus will be:

* building system-wide leadership and cultural change
* strengthening preventive health and building health literacy
* enhancing accessibility, availability and safety of health care services
* ensuring workforce capability and capacity across both mainstream and LGBTIQA+ led services, and
* improving research, data and evaluation.

To support the implementation of the Action Plan, the Albanese Labor Government has made a series of investments, including:

* Establishing a $13 million grants program to scale up dedicated LGBTIQA+ services and support successful initiatives that build the health and wellbeing of LGBTIQA+ communities.
* Investing $2 million to collect data to underpin priority areas for action through La Trobe University’s ‘Private Lives’ and ‘Writing Themselves In’ health and wellbeing surveys.
* Providing $500,000 to expand InterAction for Health and Human Rights InterLink program, a community-led professional psychosocial support service for people with innate variations of sex characteristics.

The Action Plan is the result of the largest national consultation into LGBTIQA+ wellbeing ever undertaken by any Australian government. Guided by an expert advisory group, and chaired by Assistant Minister Ged Kearney, the Action Plan was co-designed with community members, health care providers and key LGBTIQA+ community organisations.

Kerry’s recent research includes an Australian Research Council Discovery Project with Professor Susanne Gannon exploring gender equity policies and practices in secondary schools. Kerry is also currently leading a second Australian Research Council Discovery grant investigating gender in early childhood.

In a landmark study of 1,000 LGBTQ young people, Kerry H. Robinson, Western Sydney University; Cristyn Davies, University of Sydney; Emma F Jackson, Australian National University, and Kimberley Allison, Western Sydney University, found many experience threats to “fix” them through sexual violence.

“Unwanted sexual attention and behaviour are a persistent problem in many workplace cultures. But the workplace sexual harassment of LGBTQ employees is often overlooked.
Sexual harassment is generally understood through heterosexuality, in which male bosses target female employees with unwanted sexualised behaviours. This perspective of workplace sexual harassment has been enshrined in film, from 1980’s 9 to 5 to 2019’s Bombshell.
Broad population studies show LGBTQ people experience sexual harassment in the workplace and at education and training institutions at disproportionately higher rates than heterosexual women”.

New research reveals 97 percent of adult Australians have poor or limited ability to verify information online
A new report, jointly released today by the University of Canberra (UC), Western Sydney University, QUT and RMIT University, reveals that 97 percent of adult Australians have poor or limited ability to verify information online.
The report also found that more than three-quarters (78 percent) of research participants reported encountering misinformation during a one-week diary study. Of those who did see misinformation, they encountered on average 7.5 examples of misinformation per week.
Lead author Professor Sora Park, from UC’s News and Media Research Centre, said the findings reveal a concerning situation – Australians are encountering large volumes of misinformation every week, but few have the skills to fact-check what they’re seeing.
“The sheer volume of information online and the speed at which new information travels can be overwhelming and very difficult to navigate,” Professor Park said.
In the study, participants were presented with a four-part test of their ability to verify the information in four pieces of media: two social media posts and two website pages.
“Of our research participants, 45 percent showed no ability at all to identify misinformation, and 52 percent had emerging ability. Only 3 percent of those studied could be classed as having a more developed ability,” Professor Park said.
“Even among those who felt confident that they could check if information they found online is true, a large proportion got all the answers wrong across all four tasks.”
Education was an important factor related to the respondents’ ability to verify information online, as was news and information consumption habits.
Dr Sora Park is Professor of Communication and Professorial Research Fellow at the News & Media Research Centre, Faculty of Arts & Design, University of Canberra. She is internationally recognised as an expert in digital media users and media policy, with a special focus on news consumers and digital inclusion. She has an outstanding record of grants management and research translation, producing more than 200 academic publications (4 books, 10 book chapters, 4 edited volumes, 80+ journal articles, 50+ refereed conference papers, 40+ research reports, 5 public submissions and 2 other publications) and over 70+ invited talks and presentations.
Sora is a major contributor to the field of Communication and Media Studies in Australia and internationally, notably as the former Associate Dean of Research at the Faculty of Arts & Design, Director of the News & Media Research Centre, the Chair of Media Industry Studies Interest Group, International Communication Association (ICA) and the President of Australian and New Zealand Communication Association (2019-2021)

<![CDATA[ Macca and Paul talk to Angelika Von Sanden- Author, Sit Stay Grow: How Your Dog Can Help You Worry Less and Live More<br /> Anyone who’s ever woken up to an enthusiastic tail wagging by the bed or found comfort in a gentle paw on their lap knows that <a href="https://www.womensweekly.com.au/news/muster-dogs-season-3/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">dogs</a> have an incredible ability to lift our spirits and positively impact our mental health.<br /> After a long day at work, there’s nothing like coming home to a friendly face. Especially one who doesn’t offer well-meaning advice or ask a bunch of questions and is simply happy to curl up on the couch with you.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />  <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0167876022001787" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Researchers have found</a> that dogs can actually help us manage stress and <a href="https://www.womensweekly.com.au/health/how-to-deal-with-anxiety-symptoms/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">anxiety</a>.<br /> So can dogs really affect our mental health? Let’s dive in.<br /> Dogs impact on your mental health<br /> “Dogs are the antidote to reality TV and social media. In front of a dog, you can just be. They don’t care if you’ve got makeup on or if you’re in a bad mood. They are the only ones who never offer solutions. And yet are incredibly helpful in their non-judgmental way of being,” explains author and trauma counsellor, Angelika von Sanden.<br /> In her book <a href="https://publishing.hardiegrant.com/en-au/books/sit-stay-grow-by-angelika-von-sanden/9781761451102" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sit, Stay, Grow: How Dogs Can Help You Worry Less and Walk Into a Better Future</a>, she explores how mindful interactions with our canine companions can transform our mental well-being.<br /> “Working as a social worker and therapist for decades, I not only heard stories of heartbreaking pain but also about the many times dogs were named as the purpose to keep going, the shoulder to cry on, and the one steady and non-judgemental being in people’s life.”<br /> Based on principles of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), the idea is that daily walks, playtime, and even just observing our pets can help us overcome negativity, find joy, and live more meaningful lives.<br /> The key, Angelika says, is treating ourselves with the same kindness we extend to our animals.<br /> “What if you treated yourself the same way you treat your dog?” she asks. “If you notice you talk to your dog worse than you talk to yourself, go to your dog and apologise! But usually, it’s the other way around. We treat our dogs with so much more love and patience than we give ourselves.”<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ]]>

<![CDATA[ Richard Keane, Macca and Paul talk to Dr. John Rule, National Association Of People With HIV Australia (NAPWHA), (CALI) Strengthens Protections for People Living with HIV and AIDS.<br /> Australians living with HIV and AIDS can look forward to greater financial security, as life insurers will treat their condition the same as any other medical condition.<br /> The Council of Australian Life Insurers (CALI) has strengthened the Life Insurance Code of Practice to formalise the industry’s support of people living with HIV.<br /> “Life insurance plays a vital role in providing a financial safety net for all Australians and these changes help to make it more accessible to more people,” said Christine Cupitt, CEO of CALI.<br /> “These amendments reflect the modern society we live in and a deep commitment by our members to fairness. Life insurers recognise the significant advances in medical science that are transforming the lives of people living with HIV and AIDS.”<br /> While many life insurers have already implemented these practices, Ms. Cupitt said formalising them in the Life Insurance Code of Practice was a strong signal of the industry’s commitment to modern standards of privacy and fairness.<br /> Among the changes, insurers will no longer ask about an individual’s sexual preferences and practices to determine their risk of contracting a sexually transmitted infection (STI), including HIV and AIDS, during the underwriting assessment.<br /> Dr. John Rule, Senior Research Manager for the National Association of People with HIV Australia (NAPWHA), said he welcomed these reforms with a new sense of optimism.<br /> “We are pleased to see that individuals living with HIV or AIDS will be treated just like any other medical condition when determining coverage. We look forward to continuing to work alongside the industry to advocate for Australians living with HIV and AIDS,” he said.<br /> The changes represent an important step toward fostering a more inclusive and supportive environment within financial services.<br /> <a href="https://cali.org.au/australians-living-with-hiv-and-aids-can-be-more-confident-about-their-financial-future/">https://cali.org.au/australians-living-with-hiv-and-aids-can-be-more-confident-about-their-financial-future/</a><br /> &nbsp;<br /> &nbsp;<br /> ]]>

<![CDATA[ Macca and Paul are joined live in the studio by Richard Keane, CEO Living Positive; Anti-HIV/AIDs South Australia First-Responders, Health Updates<br /> South Australia is moving to bring in laws forcing people to be tested for HIV despite a report in New South Wales describing similar legislation as ineffective and unneeded.<br /> Health organisation Thorne Harbour Health <a href="https://thorneharbour.org/news-events/media-releases/thorne-harbour-opposes-south-australias-mandatory-disease-testing-bill/">has expressed strong opposition</a> to the South Australian Government’s proposed <a href="https://www.legislation.sa.gov.au/lz?path=/b/current/criminal%20law%20(forensic%20procedures)%20(blood%20testing)%20amendment%20bill%202024">Criminal Law (Forensic Procedures) (Blood Testing) Amendment Bill 2024</a>, citing concerns over its scientific validity, potential to spread disinformation, and its exacerbation of stigma toward people living with blood-borne viruses (BBVs).<br /> The bill intends to protect frontline emergency services workers by mandating blood testing of individuals who spit at or bite them. Yet, expert bodies such as the Australasian Society for HIV, Viral Hepatitis and Sexual Health Medicine have firmly stated that mandatory testing for BBVs is not an effective or evidence-based approach to public health.<br /> “We support policies that ensure a safe workplace for all workers, including emergency services personnel. However, this bill is not an evidence-based approach to achieving that goal. It creates unnecessary anxiety for workers and does nothing to improve public health outcomes,” said Thorne Harbour Health Vice President and Secretary of the HIV Justice Network, Paul Kidd.<br /> “The bill, as drafted, does not consider the actual risk of transmission,” said Kidd.<br /> Throne Harbour Health argues that Testing should only be permitted where there is risk of transmission. HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C cannot be transmitted through saliva, meaning spitting does not pose a risk.<br /> They also advocate that testing should only be ordered within 72 hours of alleged exposure, as this is the window in which prophylactic interventions (such as post-exposure prophylaxis, or PEP) can prevent transmission. They say the proposed six-month time frame is ineffective and misleading.<br /> They also highlight that emergency service workers should undergo immediate medical treatment if a risk is identified, rather than waiting for mandatory test results that may be misleading or delayed.<br /> <a href="https://www.hivjustice.net/news-from-other-sources/australia-controversial-hiv-testing-bill-in-south-australia-faces-backlash-from-experts/">https://www.hivjustice.net/news-from-other-sources/australia-controversial-hiv-testing-bill-in-south-australia-faces-backlash-from-experts/</a><br /> &nbsp;<br /> ]]>

There, he played a pivotal role in creating the Rainbow Door helpline for family violence and mental health support.<br /> He is part of the Expert Advisory Group for the Federal Government’s 10-year LGBTIQA+ Health and Wellbeing Plan.<br /> In his new role as Victorian Commissioner for LGBTIQA+ Communities, Joe will work to support the rights, safety, and wellbeing of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and gender diverse, intersex, queer, and asexual communities.<br /> The Commissioner plays a leading role in implementing the Pride in our future strategy. The strategy is the Victorian Government’s 10-year plan for LGBTIQA+ equality. It involves all parts of the government. The Commissioner will help to engage and activate government, sectors, and the community to ensure its implementation.<br /> The festival is held in the gay capital of regional Victoria – Daylesford. From humble beginnings, ChillOut has grown to become the biggest and longest-running Country Queer Pride event in regional Australia, and the largest festival in the Hepburn Shire.<br /> While events in the capital cities might be a lot bigger, ChillOut retains a relaxed, down-to-earth atmosphere with plenty of opportunities to let your hair down, and has found a special place in the hearts of the LGBTIQ community across Australia – and the world.<br /> ]]>

<![CDATA[ Sally and Macca talk to Riya Rajesh, Policy and Research Officer Victorian Student Representative Council (VicSRC).<br /> Riya Rajesh,  recently conducted a new piece of research around LGBTIQA+ student experiences in Victorian schools, they discussed the outcome of this research and what has been found?  How was the research developed and conducted to get the best information? Now you have this data and information, what are the next steps to inform the sector and improve the lives of LGBTIQA+ students?<br /> Riyah&#8217;s research noted the real lack of data around this aspect of the school experience for LGBTIQA+ students and the research has been supported by the <a id="m_-2144434035645985243m_-7205745941555038467m_-4303898455861417275m_2802854422380428719OWA5bfa034a-20fd-0827-b9b0-c67bb0d5c352" href="https://www.yacvic.org.au/get-involved/hey/hey-grants/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.yacvic.org.au/get-involved/hey/hey-grants/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1740961642630000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1yb2wYG_CqTmwFyB5xxLYB">Healthy Equal Youth</a> grant scheme.<br /> Victorian Student Representative Council to share a recent piece of research we have worked on, around LGBTIQA+ student experiences in Victorian schools. <br /> As the peak body for Victorian students, we consistently hear that many queer students are facing discrimination at school which impacts their wellbeing and engagement. While this is clearly a priority for Victorian students, we noticed that there is a real lack of data around this aspect of the school experience for LGBTIQA+ students. Given this, we decided to bridge this gap in research with the support of funding from the <a id="m_-2144434035645985243m_-7205745941555038467m_-4303898455861417275m_-5302969018237376631m_-9219097569926231618m_-3826221725695304661m_3534046181740725087m_-8428102390907804144OWA5bfa034a-20fd-0827-b9b0-c67bb0d5c352" href="https://www.yacvic.org.au/get-involved/hey/hey-grants/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.yacvic.org.au/get-involved/hey/hey-grants/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1740961642630000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1yb2wYG_CqTmwFyB5xxLYB">Healthy Equal Youth</a> grant scheme. <br /> The value of co-research:<br /> What makes this project unique and especially valuable is its co-research basis. In approaching this project, we recognised the value of combining lived experience expertise with existing research. We did this by empowering a student co-researcher, Disha, to shape each aspect of the research process. Through this, VicSRC aimed to gather a comprehensive understanding of this research area in a way that is genuinely reflective of what students want and need to convey. You can read the report <a id="m_-2144434035645985243m_-7205745941555038467m_-4303898455861417275m_-5302969018237376631m_-9219097569926231618m_-3826221725695304661m_3534046181740725087m_-8428102390907804144OWAc8fd708e-9e4c-7278-af5b-d72baa182d1a" href="https://files.vicsrc.org.au/shared/VicSRC%20LGBTIQA+%20Student%20Empowerment%20%20Project%20Report.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://files.vicsrc.org.au/shared/VicSRC%2520LGBTIQA%2B%2520Student%2520Empowerment%2520%2520Project%2520Report.pdf&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1740961642630000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2L6wcMDWPLwpNkleUkGFlY">here</a>!<br /> ]]>

<![CDATA[ Madeleine and Fiona talk Frances Atkinson, Best Queer YA (young adult fiction), based on Age reviews<br /> <br /> The books Francis was influenced by when she came out in the 90s. <br />  <br /> &#8220;For me, reading is a way of understanding &#8211; a person, a feeling, a place ect, so when I came out, my first thought was to find a book that might help navigate what was going on. I remember discovering Hares and Hyenas and thinking, ok, I’ve got this &#8211; I just need to find the right book! Terribly naive, but I guess it goes back to how important representation is and how valuable it is to have a wealth of experiences reflected in what we read…fast forward and queer lit is much more mainstream, which is fantastic.&#8221;<br /> &nbsp;<br /> &nbsp;<br /> <a href="https://www.smh.com.au/culture/books/romcom-horror-and-indigenous-romance-2024-s-best-queer-ya-novels-20241203-p5kvl1.html">https://www.smh.com.au/culture/books/romcom-horror-and-indigenous-romance-2024-s-best-queer-ya-novels-20241203-p5kvl1.html</a><br /> ]]>

<![CDATA[ Fiona and Madeliene speak to Jack Hayes PhD candidate (ANU). Global Institute for Women&#8217;s Leadership.<br /> His research expertise includes LGBTI+ representation in Australian politics, democratic and electoral health, and good governance in public service.<br /> Mr Hayes is also a Researcher at the Global Institute for Women’s Leadership, chaired by the Hon. Julia Gillard AC, a multi-disciplinary research institute that brings together world-leading expertise across academic disciplines and fields in the areas of workplace gender equality and women’s leadership.<br /> He is a United States – Australia Alliance Next Generation leader alumnus, a network of public servants, academics and working professionals seeking to improve the efficacy and longevity of the Alliance. He is also a member of EveryGen, a group of policy experts, academics and industry professionals concerned with addressing barriers to intergenerational justice in Australia.<br /> &#8220;Newly published <a href="https://cdn.theconversation.com/static_files/files/3695/ejpg-article-10.1332-25151088Y2025D000000075.pdf?1739851408">research</a> has found clear evidence that openly lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex, and queer+ (LGBTIQ+) Australian politicians were disproportionately targeted with personal abuse on social media at the last federal election. Given global trends, it’s unlikely to be any different this year.<br /> Simply logging off is not an option for candidates, who need to communicate with voters. As a result, some politicians will continue to face risky online visibility&#8221;.<br /> <a href="https://theconversation.com/australian-lgbtiq-politicians-were-hit-with-vile-online-abuse-at-the-last-federal-election-the-coming-campaign-could-be-even-worse-250039">https://theconversation.com/australian-lgbtiq-politicians-were-hit-with-vile-online-abuse-at-the-last-federal-election-the-coming-campaign-could-be-even-worse-250039</a><br /> ]]>

<![CDATA[ This week Macca is away. Joy Media President, Madeliene Swaine is co-hosting with Saturday Magazine Executive Producer, Fiona Brook. as they take us through the week that was, news views and reviews.<br /> Madeleine was born in a town called Sutton Coldfield in the Midlands, but couldn’t wait to get away to London, which she did at 18 when she went to university. But DNA won out and today, while she still loves and misses London more than anything, the bit of the Midlands she cannot shake is my team. She is a passionate Aston Villa supporter (one of the oldest teams in the League) which means she’s frequently up at 2am or 4am in the early hours to watch them play. She is currently JOY’s President and was heavily involved in Melbourne Queer Film Festival for many years. She has met Kate Bush, Mother Theresa and gate crashed a Blondie party once! She’s worked as a journalist/editor/subeditor/reporter/presenter for 30 years and is a passionate lover of the arts.<br /> ]]>

<![CDATA[ Ben and Macca talk to Joy&#8217;s own, Paul Byrne-Moroney from The I in Us, the impact of President Trump&#8217;s EO&#8217;s on the intersex community because the Administrations policy rhetoric<br /> Here’s what to know about Trump’s Executive Orders.<br /> Attempt to Re-define Sex As Binary:<br /> This order claims there are only two sexes, male and female, defined by the production of reproductive cells “at conception.” Science doesn’t agree with this definition—no embryo produces reproductive cells at conception. The goal is to push an ideology of erasure of both transgender and intersex people. This definition of sex doesn’t address people with variations in their sex traits, such as those with ovotestes who may produce both sperm and ova, or no gonads who produce neither. Like all EOs, the impact on intersex people will depend on how government agencies choose to interpret and enforce it.<br /> What are we seeing right now? The most immediate impact has been difficulties for folks getting or renewing passports—we will continue to provide updates as this develops.

Many intersex people also depend on providers who offer trans care such as endocrinologists due to their knowledge of hormones. When consensual care is banned, all young people risk losing access to necessary healthcare.<br /> What are we seeing right now? While there is currently no enforcement, <a href="https://interactadvocates.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f8291560ebb2dafc25097480f&amp;id=e98500d7aa&amp;e=36cb6c589b">many</a> <a href="https://interactadvocates.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f8291560ebb2dafc25097480f&amp;id=6c69dd28dc&amp;e=36cb6c589b">hospitals</a> are pre-emptively complying with the order and ending hormonal care for adolescents, such as puberty blockers. We collaborated on an <a href="https://interactadvocates.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f8291560ebb2dafc25097480f&amp;id=bff6296070&amp;e=36cb6c589b">explainer</a> with LGBTQI and legal organizations on the EO to provide more information.<br /> Restricting students from playing school sports:<br /> This order is an attack on transgender girls in school sports, but also an attack on all girls and women. Enforcing strict “sex”-based sports policies will likely encourage harassment, scrutiny of women’s and girls’ bodies, and invasive exams. The order incorporates the administration’s previous redefinition of “male” and “female,” which leaves out some intersex people. It is unclear how this order will be enforced, but it’s possible some intersex students may be targeted due to visible differences, being out as intersex, or due to other forms of enforcement.<br /> What are we seeing right now? While enforcement has not yet begun, any order targeting Title IX funding could put schools that do not comply at risk of losing financial support.

<![CDATA[ Macca and Ben talk to Dr Yee-Fui Ng Associate Professor, Higher Degree by Research (HDR) Monash University, about National Truth in Advertising Laws are needed in Australia.<br /> &nbsp;<br /> The highly pertinent case of a little-known independent candidate in the Victorian seat of Wannon has exposed a gaping hole in Australia’s electoral laws, which allow for misleading political advertisements in the lead-up to an election campaign. It’s all entirely legal and is already being exploited to try to shape the outcome of the coming federal election.<br /> Conservative activist group Advance Australia has widely <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02-05/advance-target-alex-dyson-with-flyer-suggesting-greens-link/104895668">distributed</a> digitally altered flyers attacking independent Alex Dyson, who is challenging senior frontbencher Dan Tehan.<br /> It’s part of a campaign to damage Dyson’s electoral prospects after he helped slash the Liberal Party’s margin in the seat at the <a href="https://results.aec.gov.au/27966/Website/HouseDivisionPage-27966-233.htm">last election</a> to less than 4%.<br /> The material depicts Dyson ripping open his shirt in a “Superman” pose, to reveal a t-shirt bearing the official Greens party logo.<br /> <a href="https://theconversation.com/misleading-and-false-election-ads-are-legal-in-australia-we-need-national-truth-in-political-advertising-laws-249279">https://theconversation.com/misleading-and-false-election-ads-are-legal-in-australia-we-need-national-truth-in-political-advertising-laws-249279</a><br /> Yee-Fui is an Associate Professor and the Director (Higher Degree by Research) at Monash University.<br /> Yee-Fui&#8217;s research centres on strengthening political institutions and enhancing executive accountability. Her work has focussed on the regulation and accountability of actors and institutions in the shadows of government, such as ministerial advisers, lobby groups and government corporations, utilising empirical, doctrinal and comparative methodologies.<br /> Yee-Fui is the author of Combatting the Code: Regulating Automated Government Decision-Making in Comparative Context (Cambridge University Press, forthcoming 2025), The Rise of Political Advisors in the Westminster System (Routledge, 2018) and Ministerial Advisers in Australia: The Modern Legal Context (Federation Press, 2016), which was a finalist of the Holt Prize. Dr Ng also co-authored Douglas and Jones&#8217;s Administrative Law (Federation Press, 9th ed, 2024). She has publications in leading Australian and international books and journals, including the Law Quarterly Review, Public Law, Federal Law Review, Melbourne University Law Review, UNSW Law Journal, The Oxford Handbook of the Australian Constitution, and The Oxford Handbook of Political Executives.<br /> ]]>

No one wants to see the hateful US-style scapegoating of communities happening here.”<br /> &nbsp;<br /> “Governments cannot be allowed to ban vital, evidence-based healthcare solely on the basis of their political beliefs.”<br /> &nbsp;<br /> “Communities nationwide, from Busselton and Wagga Wagga to Shepparton and Broome, are rallying today to show trans young people in Queensland that they are not alone.”<br /> &nbsp;<br /> The Minister’s decision will halt evidence-based healthcare for 491 young people and their families – many who have been on the waiting list for months, and even years.<br /> &nbsp;<br /> Hannah, A Brisbane mum whose daughter’s care has been impacted said, “This has been incredibly stressful for our family. My 15 year old has been on puberty blockers for four years and was just days away from going on HRT. Now that can’t happen. Like all teenagers, she just wants to look like her friends at school and express who she really is.”<br /> &nbsp;<br /> “The Minister’s decision puts our young people’s lives at risk. As a parent I can’t stand by and watch that happen. The Queensland government must reinstate care and increase funding for the Queensland Children&#8217;s Gender Service.”<br /> &nbsp;<br /> Peak medical bodies including the The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists, Australian Medical Association Queensland, and senior members of the The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners have condemned the ban and warned that denying vital medical care to trans youth could have devastating consequences.<br /> Rally attendees will be invited to donate to support the 491 young people who have been kicked off the waiting list in Queensland to seek access through the private system instead.<br /> &nbsp;<br /> The day is organised by the Trans Justice Project, a trans-led organisation working to build a future where all trans and gender-diverse people are safe, celebrated, and free.<br /> ]]>

<![CDATA[ Macca and Paul talk to<br /> &#8220;Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has doubled down on his commitment to sack thousands of public servants if he’s elected prime minister.<br /> Dutton has again highlighted the “wasteful” 36,000 increase in public service jobs under Labor, which he says has made the Australian Public service “<a href="https://www.peterdutton.com.au/leader-of-the-opposition-transcript-interview-with-david-speers-abc-insiders-2/">bloated and inefficient</a>”.<br /> While there is considerable political hyperbole and Trumpian allusions in Dutton’s statements, there are areas where legitimate savings could be made by whoever wins the coming election. That includes a second-term Albanese government, which would need to find efficiencies to offset promised wage increases&#8221;<br /> <a href="https://theconversation.com/peter-dutton-is-promising-to-slash-the-public-service-voters-wont-know-how-many-jobs-are-lost-until-after-the-election-248897">https://theconversation.com/peter-dutton-is-promising-to-slash-the-public-service-voters-wont-know-how-many-jobs-are-lost-until-after-the-election-248897</a><br /> ]]>

<![CDATA[ &nbsp;<br /> Macca and Paul talk to Son Vivienne, as they discuss New ruling In case of Giggle vs Tickle, Midsumma Ruling<br /> The Giggle for Girls app was developed by Grover in 2019 in order to “create a little corner of the Internet where women… could have a refuge away from men” for networking, support, and friendship (<a href="https://www.judgments.fedcourt.gov.au/judgments/Judgments/fca/single/2024/2024fca0960">paragraph 95 of the decision</a>). Her precise intentions for the women-only &#8220;refuge&#8221; and whom it aimed to exclude became clearer through her testimony about the onboarding process. Grover had enlisted the support of a &#8220;gender detection&#8221; feature from the artificial intelligence (AI) system Kairos to screen users. According to Grover’s affidavit, the AI facial recognition process was “the digital equivalent of what human beings do every day in perceiving sex, in particular male sex.” As she further clarified, she “did not consider the use of the word ‘gender’ in the context of its ‘gender detection feature’ to mean anything other than the detection of biological sex.” Implied in this sex/gender equivalence, and later explicitly admitted in cross-examination, was Grover’s belief that the term “women” only included cisgender women.<br /> In February 2021, when Tickle, a transgender woman, uploaded a selfie and the AI system allowed her access to the app, Grover’s vision of an exclusive women-only space and Tickle’s gender identity were set on a collision course. About eight months after joining Giggle, Tickle found that she could no longer post content or comment on posts by other users. Soon after, when she tried to buy premium features on the app, she received a “User Blocked” message. Unbeknownst to her, Grover had been manually reviewing admitted users’ onboarding selfies. The court later found that Grover had personally blocked Tickle’s access to the app based on a “quick and reflexive” judgment that she appeared to be male. After her access was blocked, Tickle tried to contact Grover several times by email and phone, but aside from one missed call from Grover, they had no communication. Tickle’s access to the app was never restored.<br /> <a href="https://outrightinternational.org/insights/why-tickle-v-giggle-no-laughing-matter-australia-steps-toward-substantive-trans-inclusion">https://outrightinternational.org/insights/why-tickle-v-giggle-no-laughing-matter-australia-steps-toward-substantive-trans-inclusion</a><br /> &nbsp;<br /> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/oct/03/tickle-vs-giggle-for-girls-app-transgender-discrimination-case-appeal-ntwnfb">https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/oct/03/tickle-vs-giggle-for-girls-app-transgender-discrimination-case-appeal-ntwnfb</a><br /> ]]>

<![CDATA[ Macca and Nevena talk to Bridget Backhaus, Senior Lecturer in Journalism and Media Studies, Griffith University, The government is spending millions on news, but crucial community media remains underfunded<br /> The Australian government has launched its News Media Assistance Program, throwing a lifeline to public interest journalism and local news.<br /> The latest push for a more diverse and sustainable news landscape also saw community broadcasters receive a modest but much-needed boost to their funding.<br /> The announcement, worth $180 million overall, is a welcome pre-Christmas gift for struggling media outlets.<br /> But it largely overlooks the importance of community broadcasting in providing accessible, community-engaged news. The program falls short of meaningfully helping the chronically underfunded part of the media landscape.<br /> &nbsp;<br /> <a href="https://theconversation.com/the-government-is-spending-millions-on-news-but-crucial-community-media-remains-underfunded-246123">https://theconversation.com/the-government-is-spending-millions-on-news-but-crucial-community-media-remains-underfunded-246123</a><br /> ]]>

<![CDATA[ In this reprise segment, Macca and Nevena talk to Josh Burns, MP MacNamara Census Exclusion Backflip.<br /> <br /> Victorian backbencher Josh Burns said on Thursday afternoon that he had made “representations inside government” after Labor on Sunday walked back a pledge — contained in its 2023 national platform — to count the queer community in the 2026 Census.<br /> <br /> And a few hours later, the government’s social cohesion envoy Peter Khalil said he had been doing the same.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> “I think that the Census … is a really important tool to be able to gather data; to be able to gather information that feeds into the delivery of government services to hopefully get better health outcomes,” Burns told ABC television on Thursday.<br /> <br /> <br /> He said the LGBTIQ+ community “deserves to be included” and the government needed to consider its decision.<br /> <br /> <br /> Burns also broke  ranks  with  his  party  in  May,  over its decision to back a non-binding United Nations General Assembly resolution that recommended the Security Council “favourably” reconsider Palestinians gaining full membership.<br /> <br /> The backflip and lack of data supporting the Census decision have prompted a swift backlash from advocates, LGBTIQ+ groups and experts alike. Along with crossbenchers, they are urging the government to reconsider its decision.<br /> <br /> ]]>

Are the creatures in the woods behind the mansion a worry? Will Kanye return? More paranoid each day, John becomes convinced the house itself is turning against him.<br /> Alone with his thoughts in Kanye’s haunt, John finds himself asking where he fits into the world as a Jew. Dangerous and hilarious, Squat examines just how precarious identity and belonging can be.<br /> <a href="https://www.penguin.com.au/books/squat-9781760890179">https://www.penguin.com.au/books/squat-9781760890179</a><br /> ]]>

<![CDATA[ Nevena and co-host John Safran talk to Angelica Di Camillo, Greens Candidate for the Prahran By-Election<br /> Environmental engineer Angelica Di Camillo was officially unveiled as the Greens party&#8217;s replacement for Sam Hibbins, who resigned from the party and quit politics after admitting to an affair with a staffer.<br /> “I put my hand up because I&#8217;m frustrated by the lack of action we’re seeing from the two major parties,” Ms Di Camillo said, flanked by Victorian party leader Ellen Sandell and senator Steph Hodgins-May.<br /> &#8220;We cannot trust them to tackle the climate crisis, the housing crisis and the cost-of-living crisis that so many people in my community in Prahran are experiencing.”<br /> Ms Di Camillo, a St Kilda East resident, was the party&#8217;s proposed candidate for the federal seat of Higgins before the Australian Electoral Commission announced it would be abolished ahead of the 2025 election.<br /> She also ran for the Greens in the federal Aston by-election in 2023, and for the state seat of Rowville in 2022.<br /> &nbsp;<br /> ]]>

<![CDATA[ Nevena and John Safran talk to the newly appointed Victorian Minister for Equality, Vicki Ward.<br /> Prior to entering Parliament, Vicki worked as an advisor to The Hon. Jenny Macklin MP, was a tutor at RMIT University and has also run a small business.<br /> Vicki is grateful to live in such a beautiful part of Melbourne – a hidden gem under a tree canopy so close to the city – and has done so for majority of her life. She lives in Eltham with her partner, where they are raising their two daughters. Vicki knows the area and people well; she grew up in Research, where her parents bought their first home on a dirt road opposite a farm. Her parents are life members of Research Junior Football Club in recognition of their years of voluntary service. This showed her early on the importance of community, volunteerism and if you want something done, get in there and help.<br /> Vicki believes in community, that we need to be there for each other and feel connected to our neighbours. That there is a very important role for Government to play in supporting people in finding and creating opportunities for themselves, but also extending a helping hand to those who are struggling.<br /> <a href="https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/people/people-and-communities/estimates-and-characteristics-lgbti-populations-australia/2022">https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/people/people-and-communities/estimates-and-characteristics-lgbti-populations-australia/2022</a><br /> ]]>

FOR INDIGENOUS HEALTH<br /> &nbsp;<br /> ‘SYSTEM-WIDE’ CHANGE: 10-YEAR ACTION PLAN FOR BETTER LGBTIQA+ HEALTH<br /> The Albanese Labor Government has today released an Australian-first roadmap to improve the health and wellbeing of the LGBTIQA+ community.<br /> The National Action Plan for the Health and Wellbeing of LGBTIQA+ People sets out an ambitious plan to improve the care and support LGBTIQA+ people receive and deliver better physical and mental health outcomes across the community.<br /> The National Action Plan for the Health and Wellbeing of LGBTIQA+ People sets out an ambitious plan to improve the care and support LGBTIQA+ people receive and deliver better physical and mental health outcomes across the community.<br /> Accompanying the release of the Action Plan is a $15.5 million investment to kick-start system-wide improvements to give LGBTIQA+ people access to safe, appropriate and stigma-free health and wellbeing care.<br /> Research has found LGBTIQA+ people experience significant health disparities in comparison to the wider community. One in three LGBTIQA+ people rate their health as poor or fair and three in four have experienced a mental health condition.<br /> To address these disparities, the Action Plan will guide government action to make safe, inclusive and high-quality health care available to all LGBTIQA+ people. The key areas of focus will be:<br /> <br /> * building system-wide leadership and cultural change<br /> * strengthening preventive health and building health literacy<br /> * enhancing accessibility, availability and safety of health care services<br /> * ensuring workforce capability and capacity across both mainstream and LGBTIQA+ led services, and<br /> * improving research, data and evaluation.<br /> <br /> To support the implementation of the Action Plan, the Albanese Labor Government has made a series of investments, including:<br /> <br /> * Establishing a $13 million grants program to scale up dedicated LGBTIQA+ services and support successful initiatives that build the health and wellbeing of LGBTIQA+ communities.<br /> * Investing $2 million to collect data to underpin priority areas for action through La Trobe University’s ‘Private Lives’ and ‘Writing Themselves In’ health and wellbeing surveys.<br /> * Providing $500,000 to expand InterAction for Health and Human Rights InterLink program, a community-led professional psychosocial support service for people with innate variations of sex characteristics.<br /> <br /> The Action Plan is the result of the largest national consultation into LGBTIQA+ wellbeing ever undertaken by any Australian government. Guided by an expert advisory group, and chaired by Assistant Minister Ged Kearney, the Action Plan was co-designed with community members, health care providers and key LGBTIQA+ community organisations.<br /> ]]>

Kerry&#8217;s recent research includes an Australian Research Council Discovery Project with Professor Susanne Gannon exploring gender equity policies and practices in secondary schools. Kerry is also currently leading a second Australian Research Council Discovery grant investigating gender in early childhood.<br /> <br /> In a landmark study of 1,000 LGBTQ young people, <a href="https://theconversation.com/profiles/kerry-h-robinson-1215104">Kerry H.

<![CDATA[ Madeleine and Macca talk to DR. Sora Park, University of Canberra, Media Research Centre;<br /> &nbsp;<br /> New research reveals 97 percent of adult Australians have poor or limited ability to verify information online<br /> A new report, jointly released today by the University of Canberra (UC), Western Sydney University, QUT and RMIT University, reveals that 97 percent of adult Australians have poor or limited ability to verify information online.<br /> The report also found that more than three-quarters (78 percent) of research participants reported encountering misinformation during a one-week diary study. Of those who did see misinformation, they encountered on average 7.5 examples of misinformation per week.<br /> Lead author Professor Sora Park, from UC’s News and Media Research Centre, said the findings reveal a concerning situation – Australians are encountering large volumes of misinformation every week, but few have the skills to fact-check what they’re seeing.<br /> “The sheer volume of information online and the speed at which new information travels can be overwhelming and very difficult to navigate,” Professor Park said.<br /> In the study, participants were presented with a four-part test of their ability to verify the information in four pieces of media: two social media posts and two website pages.<br /> “Of our research participants, 45 percent showed no ability at all to identify misinformation, and 52 percent had emerging ability. Only 3 percent of those studied could be classed as having a more developed ability,” Professor Park said.<br /> “Even among those who felt confident that they could check if information they found online is true, a large proportion got all the answers wrong across all four tasks.”<br /> Education was an important factor related to the respondents’ ability to verify information online, as was news and information consumption habits.<br /> Dr Sora Park is Professor of Communication and Professorial Research Fellow at the News &amp; Media Research Centre, Faculty of Arts &amp; Design, University of Canberra. She is internationally recognised as an expert in digital media users and media policy, with a special focus on news consumers and digital inclusion. She has an outstanding record of grants management and research translation, producing more than 200 academic publications (4 books, 10 book chapters, 4 edited volumes, 80+ journal articles, 50+ refereed conference papers, 40+ research reports, 5 public submissions and 2 other publications) and over 70+ invited talks and presentations.<br /> Sora is a major contributor to the field of Communication and Media Studies in Australia and internationally, notably as the former Associate Dean of Research at the Faculty of Arts &amp; Design, Director of the News &amp; Media Research Centre, the Chair of Media Industry Studies Interest Group, International Communication Association (ICA) and the President of Australian and New Zealand Communication Association (2019-2021)<br /> <a href="https://www.canberra.edu.au/about-uc/media/media-releases/2024/december/new-research-reveals-97-percent-of-adult-australians-have-poor-or-limited-ability-to-verify-information-online">https://www.canberra.edu.au/about-uc/media/media-releases/2024/december/new-research-reveals-97-percent-of-adult-australians-have-poor-or-limited-ability-to-verify-information-online</a><br /> ]]>
