These are the stories of ten Victoria Police officers who served in the Vietnam War between 1964 and1972.

Many of them rose to the highest ranks within Victoria Police, with some ...

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. Watch the full episo...

This is a standalone episode summarising the 'Not Above the Law' case against Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews and other named politicians and bureaucrats, run by Self Employed Australia over hotel quarantine failures.

Three cancelled medical professionals joined us to tell their stories of censorship by the Australian medical system.

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? D...

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 foun...

As New Media takes off around the world, sometimes it actually scoops legacy media...and with only a fraction of the budget, staff, experience and resources of giant media conglomerates. 6 News is one of those New Media players with their news coverage being syndicated by Australia's national broadcaster (the ABC) as well as commercial networks. The founder of 6 News, Leonardo Puglisi, makes regular appearances on major shows such as The Drum. Despite being only 15 years old, he now leads a nati...

This is a true tale of theft, drugs and a bakery. Jordan Dittloff made headlines in 2015 for stealing $277,993.58 from 47 clients of his travel agency Ace Travel in Victoria.

Many, including his 70 year old future mother in law, lost thousands of dollars saved up for their 'trip of a lifetime'.
