Rob McMullan returns to Discernable to discuss the ongoing drift in society toward 'empathising' and 'caretaking' which ultimately leads to mass dependence. Is Australia destined to become a nation of compliant serfs who are comfortably satiated but totally without agency? Rob foresees a two-tiered society of Elites and Serfs...a 'dependent mass' and an 'inner city elite' as opposed to a mixed and dominant middle class. Unless and until an inevitable retaliation takes place.

Labor’s Deputy Campaign Director (2005-2019) Kos Samaras describes how out of touch many of the 'elites' were during Covid-19. They failed to empathise with those who did NOT have access to the same levers of power. These people did not have 'the social and economic capital to reach into a box and get some help'.

Three cancelled medical professionals joined us to tell their stories of censorship by the Australian medical system. All three were de-registered by their professional licensing bodies for expressing views divergent from the ‘allowed’ opinion. Since their expulsion from medicine, many of their views have become accepted fact though that does little to restore their careers. Watch this joint interview to hear about alarming adverse event signals, nudge units and medical manipulation, groupthink and peer pressure, medical ethics and faulty science, population psychology, and the state of Australia’s medical fraternity.

Labor figure Kos Samaras describes the lack of empathy for one minority group in particular - those who chose to remain unvaccinated against Covid-19. As PM Justin Trudeau once asked, for how long should we tolerate the unvaccinated? Watch the full interview here: https://discernable.io/kos-samaras-the-future-of-australian-politics

John Pesutto is the State Liberal Member for Hawthorn, Liberal Leader of the Victorian Opposition and Shadow Minister for Multicultural Affairs. He lost his seat in 2018 but re-won it in the Nov 2022 state election, before quickly being elected as party leader. He joined Discernable to answer questions around what the Liberal Party actually stands for, why they made moves against their own MPs Moira Deeming, Renee Heath and Bernie Finn, what they will do about housing affordability, energy availability and equity programs, and ultimately why younger voters should consider voting for the Liberal Party.

Dr Jereth Kok is an Australian doctor who was cancelled by AHPRA (his trial is ongoing) for posting memes online. Under specific investigation is his characterisation of transgender surgery as 'mutilation'.

'Anyone who thinks that there is an untapped conservative vote sitting out there isn't looking at any of the actual voting data...' 'A huge portion of the Labor voting base are religious minority groups. But they are voting for the left-leaning side.' -Emily Coltraine from The Voice for Victoria Full interview: https://discernable.io/voice-for-victoria-reality-in-a-world-of-spin-with-emily-coltraine

'All of our systems as a western democracy are underpinned by enlightenment principles but if you take those away, western democracy is just tyranny. There's no inherent value in democracy that isn't granted to it either originally by the church, or later by secular enlightenment. If you strip away those shared values that underpin the institutions, the institutions themselves are just hollow husks that can be used to repress.' https://discernable.io/from-prison-to-pastry-a-fresh-baked-redemption-story-with-jordan-dittloff Support Discernable: https://discernable.locals.com/support Everything Discernable: https://linktr.ee/discernableofficial

Newly elected Victorian Liberal Trung Luu MP joined us to talk about his 28 year career in Victoria Police, his perspective as a Vietnamese boat refugee, and the state of the Liberal Party. We got talking about the attempted expulsion of Moira Deeming MP from the Liberal Party after a protest in Melbourne gained national attention for Nazi elements. I put it to Trung that the Liberal Party may be washing out into a bland blend of multiple values, and this was his response.

Lipid nanoparticle specialist and manager of novel mRNA projects Christie Grace reveals the TGA Agilent files released under Australian FOI showing fragments of 'mystery' mRNA detected in Australian vials. The European Medicines Agency reported on this phenomenon in their 2021 Comirnity report, conceding unwanted protein synthesis may be occurring but concluded that it's too small to worry about: 'Data demonstrates the presence of truncated/modified forms of mRNA at somewhat higher levels in the batches manufactured with the commercial process as compared to material used in clinical trials.' '...is expected to be too low to elicit an immune response of biological relevance. Indeed, considering the low dose of mRNA (30 µg), the impurities are not considered a safety issue based on general toxicological principles. However, when present in the cell it cannot be excluded that different proteins than the intact full-length spike will be expressed.'

There's a reason so many in power (government, influencers, regulators, experts) are afraid of the 'backyard conversation'. This is where we bypass all the usual censors and confide in our family and friends what we really feel. It's not controllable.

What is the core promise of Jesus Christ and Christianity? Rather than settle for common caricatures, we invited Bishop Paul Barker to take us to the very centre of the faith where he explained the scandalous claims it makes. What is faith? Is it testable? Does it lean on any empiricism and science or is it purely a 'leap of faith'? What about social justice - is that the key message of Christianity? What does 'believing' mean? Is it merely mental assent or something more? Who is Jesus Christ? Does it really matter or is the rest of the Bible helpful without him? How 'good' do you have to be to get into heaven? What about really bad people? These are the questions that were in my mind approaching this interview, and I found it both surprising and refreshing to hear such a unique exposition of the Christian faith, instead of the strawman we hear in popular culture. The second half of the discussion centred around cultural relevance, whether the world is devolving its standards, and whether all faiths will remain true to their sacred beliefs and texts or become secularised due to cultural pressure. We explored the failings of the modern church, and the loss of the core message of grace. At Discernable we continue to explore different perspectives, beliefs, values and opinions by presenting them in their best light possible so you can make up your own mind.

For 4 years Dr Jereth Kok has been suspended from practising medicine for posting memes, satire, and other Christian religious opinions on social media. Many of these posts centred around transgenderism, sexuality and abortion. The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) used an emergency mechanism reserved for use on dangerous doctors who represent a risk to 'the public interest'. Suspended without trial or hearing has meant 4 years of 'legal limbo' for Dr Kok who has been found neither guilty nor innocent by AHPRA. He has since been forced to retrain into an alternative career, so regardless of the eventual tribunal outcome he is unlikely to return to medicine. AHPRA have disclosed that their investigation began when they received 2 anonymous complaints about Dr Jereth Kok's social media posts, and that those two complainants have never been his patients. In this interview we explored the offences alleged by AHPRA, using AHPRA screenshots of Dr Kok's social media posts. Most of them are inarguably absurd, satire, or vanilla statements and the remaining are expositions of his Christian views. We went on to discuss the dangerous reality being set by bodies like AHPRA in censoring doctors and homogenising the ideology of the entire industry, resulting in anti-scientific practices that ignores long-established principles of modern medicine.

It's no longer 'fringe' to point out that the Lockdown Emperor isn't wearing any clothes. The ongoing harms are only compounding as long-term impacts develop and retroactive data gathering shows the tremendous cost of lockdowns, despite the claimed advantages. Why were the cost/benefit questions ignored? Could it be that political motives trumped science, empiricism and data? The media are exceptionally guilty and responsible given the extreme pressure they placed on their viewership to be afraid, and on political leaders to 'do something' in the face of such scary scenarios. Donald Trump was castigated for going against the grain on this and encouraging the public to resist the fear: 'Don't let it dominate you. Don't be afraid of it. You're going to beat it...don't let it take over your lives. Get out there, be careful...' We continue to see the vestiges of the fear campaign in the people around us, clinging to unscientific measures. ------------------------ Full interview with Voice for Victoria: https://discernable.io/voice-for-victoria-reality-in-a-world-of-spin-with-emily-coltraine USB Time Capsule: https://teamhuman.au/products/the-discernable-usb

Government or Corporation? Which master do you choose? Friedrich Nietzsche famously proclaimed that "God is dead." then asking: "how shall we comfort ourselves? ... What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?" Nietzsche argued that without a god to provide a sense of purpose and direction, humans would seek out new sources of authority and meaning. Some have turned to government as a replacement but in the wake of the Enlightenment shift away from religion and traditional values, society now over-emphasizes hedonism, comfort. So perhaps private corporations are the ultimate and coming replacements, as beautifully articulated by Pixar's 2008 Wall-E. ------------------------ Full interview: https://discernable.io/from-prison-to-pastry-a-fresh-baked-redemption-story-with-jordan-dittloff USB Time Capsule: https://teamhuman.au/products/the-discernable-usb
