Better than QandA: The Future of Australian Politics
Better than QandA is a new format live panel show that appeals to those who want to think deeply about the world today.
Tonight’s topic ‘The Future of Australian Politics’ welcomes former Labor Minister (2014-2021) Luke Donnellan MP, Founder of Self Employed Australia Ken Phillips, and Emily Coltraine from Voice for Victoria.
Teaching pastor and theologian Nathan Finochio 'doesn't have sympathy' for Christians who voted for progressive values and then complain about living under them.
His advice is to:
1. Obey They Law (sleep in the bed you made)
2. Resist (vote them out, protest)
3. Be Sneaky (break bad laws)

Most people won't need this video. Most people will think this video is 'stupid'.
But this video is for the many people out there that feel 'stupid' in conversation and how they can do better.
I've become quite skilled at conversation...with the prickly, the famous, the awkward and the weird.
Like many with abusive childhoods, I developed a hyperawareness of anger related triggers and the spun into an ability to lubricate social situations.
I've noticed in social interactions lately that many don't even know how to converse. They fall prey to incomplete advice like 'always talk about the other person' or 'make others feel important'.
This leads to tragic conversations where people try so hard but crash and burn in a sea of awkwardness.
Instead, they should try this:
1. Be interested; and
2. be interesting.
Good conversation is not about 'taking turns', 'never interrupting', or 'being funny'. Narrow tricks and techniques like that eventually fail. But if your general disposition is to be 'interested' in the other person you will ask the right questions at the right time.
Secondly, be interesting! Most people are not interesting because they don't read anything, watch anything, go anywhere or think about anything deeper than what is fed to them in mass media.
Learn something. Explore something. Read something. You become interesting when you are fascinated with something yourself.
Finally, practise! I am convinced anyone trying this 2 point method just a handful of times will become more socially fluent than the majority of people I interact with.
Be interested and be interesting...and you will always be the type of company people want to keep.

More common sense from a politician on how to see government power and how power without connection to grass roots results in 'crude sledgehammers'.

Brought to you by SJ Venues, Hopper Motor Group, The Little Environeers and Jagger Watches, this is the pre-election dinner hosted by Discernable and Voice for Victoria.
As well as recording a live episode of the PollieBites podcast, we had an extended panel + audience discussion about the probable outcomes of the 2022 Victorian election.
With special guests Ian Cook (Independent for Mulgrave against Premier Daniel Andrews), Paul Hopper (Independent for Werribee against Treasurer Tim Pallas), Krystle Mitchell (former Acting Senior Sergeant of Victoria Police), and Ken Phillips (Self Employed Australia), watch an extended cut of the evening at: https://discernable.io/a-discernable-dinner-with-voice-for-victoria
Throughout the show you will notice Matt and Emily wearing stunning timepieces. These were on loan from Jagger Watches who has kindly extended a huge 30% discount to all Discernable viewers. Use the code discernable at checkout to save 30% on your own timepiece at https://jaggerwatches.com
Hopper Motor Group, a family business selling vehicles since 1962, kindly sponsored the evening because they believe in building long term relationships with Victorians, not just customers. They are dealers of Jeep, Fiat, Hyundai, Isuzu Ute, Kia, and Renault. http://www.hoppermotorgroup.com.au
The venue (Cargo Hall, South Wharf) was secured for us by SJ Venues, who provide a free service to find and negotiate your next function. It doesn't make sense to do it any other way.

This was a recurring theme with Kel - his deep hatred of corruption. Most decent people find it an affront but I tried to dig into why it offends him on such a deep and visceral level, and eventually informed the focus of his policing career.

Nearly all the conspiracy theories I come across prove to be exactly that - unfounded theories, pushed by fearful people jumping at shadows.
A select, very few of them though, prove to be completely true.
Watch in this interview how I struggle to sift through all of the emotion, misinformation and theories to find which are real and which are not.
This is an excerpt from an interview with guest Dr Niall McCrae, a lockdown and Covid-19 skeptic and mental health academic researcher who is concerned about the mental health harms borne by our youngest generations.
