We Are Conducting Too Many Caesarean Sections
Expert gynaecologist Professor Ben Mol from Monash Health estimates the optimal Caesarean rate for Australia should be ~20% yet we are at 30-35%.
One of many factors is the legal incentive for healthcare providers to push pregnant women toward Caesarean sections without medical indication.

Hey Big Business, Look After Me!
'Reasonable Lefties don't mind caretaking elites' but they hate 'capitalising elites'.
Thus they can say 'I don't mind if small businesses go under and all of that capital accumulates in the huge corporations...because that huge corporation is going to look after me like a serf'.

The Liberal's Obsession With Daniel Andrews
Minister in the Daniel Andrews Labor Government (2014-2021) Luke Donnellan MP reflects on the Liberal's campaign and their failed 'obsession' with the premier.
Luke believes that in hindsight, it was a poor strategy because it failed to remain relevant to the changing voter demographics in Victoria,

Victorians are not worried about corruption
For 20 years, Luke Donnellan was the Victorian Labor MP for the outer suburban electorate of Narre Warren. He served as the Minister for Roads and Road Safety and Minister for Ports (2014-2018) and then as the Minister for Child Protection and the Minister for Disability, Ageing and Carers (2018-2021).
Before the Nov 2022 state election, the Labor Party denied Luke preselection for his seat, and was thus pushed out of parliament altogether.
Luke joined Discernable for an open conversation about the lives of everyday Victorians. What do they care about? Why do they keep electing Labor governments?
We also delved into the ethics of protests, social justice, and the corruption tendencies of long term governments. As the Minister for the most vulnerable cohort of Victorians during Covid-19 (the elderly), we also explored his thinking on vaccine mandates, segregation and community safety.

Feelin' Spoiled by Corporate
This is a day in the life of a Twitter employee, before Elon Musk took over.
Corporations are only responding to increasingly left-wing demands for 'caretaking' and 'empathetic thinking' at the expense of 'systemic thinking'.
It's too simplistic to simply call it largesse and trinkets to Millennials. There is a clear societal shift toward the 'caretaking' impulse.

David Limbrick MP: 'Treat Us Like Adults'
This interview from January 2021 (2 years ago!) with David Limbrick MP holds a poignant moment for us at Discernable and for all Victorians:
'Do the right thing only makes sense when it's a choice. When it's a mandatory, police-led response...doing the right thing is just doing what they say'.
We will continue to fight for a thinking population who are interested in ethics, morality, and self-reflection.

The Origin of Human Rights and Self Determination with Human Rights Lawyer Peter Fam
Peter Fam is a human rights lawyer from Sydney, Australia. He believes that today's society has become detached from the principles our species has upheld and respected for thousands of years.
We took a particularly deep dive into the origin of human rights, natural law and how that is evolving in today's post-modern society that is reimagining the human rights landscape. It forced us to ask deep epistemological questions to trace the authority of self-determination and the origin of truth.

His team has found that around 30 percent of randomly controlled trials (RCTs), including those published in peer-reviewed journals and cited in meta-analyses in the world's biggest journals, are completely fabricated with false data.

Are All Human Beings Equal?
As the world fights increasingly for 'equality' of people in every area of life, shouldn't we first ask what we mean by 'equal'?
We certainly don't start in an equal place.
We certainly don't get dealt equal opportunities throughout life.
We certainly don't put in equality of effort.
Do we only mean equality of outcome? Is that just?

Forced Obesity Treatment: the Logical Next Step
Monash Health Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Ben Mol, specialises in medical interventions: what are they, why are they deployed, are they overused?
He leads the Evidenced based Women's Health Care Research Group who investigate whether medical interventions around the world are conducted with evidence, are beneficial to patients, and whether they cause harm.
In the course of his research, Ben has uncovered startling evidence such as 30% of peer-reviewed and published randomly controlled trials being completely fabricated.
In this interview we explored the world's largest health intervention to date: government and public health responses to Covid-19. The professor has been vocal about the injustice and illogic of vaccine mandates, punitive measures against Queensland's unvaccinated teachers, the deportation of Novak Djokovic from Australia, malfeasance in academic research, and lockdowns as 'one of the greatest peacetime policy failures in modern history'.

Zuby: Real Talk About Australia
Zuby is an internationally recognised rap and hip hop artist who also achieved fame as the champion British female deadlift record holder (238kg).
Designed to raise awareness of the absurdity of biological men competing against biological women in sport, the stunt eclipsed his music success and he was thrust into the culture wars where he has been offering previously common - but now exceedingly rare - takes on society.
He continues to self publish his music and books, as well as tour internationally as a keynote speaker on a variety of his interests including music, cryptocurrency, culture, and self-improvement.
He kindly agreed to an extended interview with Discernable in the suburbs of Melbourne where we could explore his views in a specifically Australian context.
