It is Discernable® – Details, episodes & analysis

Australia has 33% of the world's uranium and is responsible for 10% of the current uranium produced worldwide. For a country fixated on 'carbon neutrality', it exports a huge amount of 'de-carbonised energy' in the form of uranium but refuses, and in fact bans, the use of nuclear power.

Dr Mark Ho is a nuclear engineer at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO), Australia's federal nuclear agency. He is also the current president of the Australian Nuclear Association and joined us to explore the potential of nuclear power: how it works, where it's already deployed, and what the risks are.

It's a conversational dive into the mechanics of nuclear power, reactor designs, meltdown protections, and the politics of nuclear energy in Australia.

Dr James Stewart is an Australian doctor at the forefront of plant-based medicine and medical cannabis.

As a General Practitioner he found pharmaceutical solutions frustrating in their narrow focus and lengthy side effect profiles and began to incorporate plant-based treatments in his practice.

He is now sought out by celebrities and business leaders who are looking for expert advice and care when it comes to medical cannabis and other plant-based treatments.

He joined Discernable to educate us on how cannabis works from a chemical, legal, and practical point of view.

Emeritus Professor Robert Clancy AM, MBBS(Hons), BSc(Med), PhD, DSc, FRACP, FRCPA, FRS(N) is a practising clinical immunologist with an international reputation for research in autoimmune disease, immunisation and mucosal inflammatory disease. He was Foundation Professor of Pathology at the University of Newcastle, where he established the Newcastle Mucosal Immunology Group, identifying mechanisms of airways protection and the pathogenesis of mucosal disease, and discovered new methods of disease control. He was awarded the first and only Doctor of Science by The University of Newcastle.

Professor Clancy developed the vaccine Broncostat at the University of Newcastle in 1985. The Broncostat vaccine reduces attacks of acute bronchitis to a degree of 90%.

In this interview with Discernable the professor surveys the state of Covid-19 in Australia and notes the discrepancies between the narratives woven about the disease at different times. Zooming out to explore evidence-based medicine, vaccine adverse events and the centralisation of health management by international bureaucracies such as the World Health Organisation, the professor finishes with his love of cartography and thoughts on how we can navigate through an increasingly political and potentially scientifically corrupt moment in the history of medicine.

In this episode of The People's Project:

WHAT HAVE WE DONE?
Australians are recovering from the hard work of electing our politicians. As the hangover clears some are asking - what have we done?

EVERYDAY HIGH PRICES
The cost of living is exploding and has finally reached Australian shores. Is it inflation? Something else? What is inflation anyway?

OUT OF JUICE
Extraordinary times as the wholesale (and sometimes retail) cost of electricity more than doubles for Australians. Where do we get our energy from and are renewables the solution?

THE FRANKSTON SERIAL KILLER
Paul Denyer could be roaming the streets of Frankston again in a year's time. Joined by the boyfriend and best friend of his final victim, we explore what his release could mean.

DOES ANYONE CARE?
Amber Heard and Johnny Depp have completed their court case. Can we move on now please?

We had audio issues for the first hour, but the following 5 hours were solid.

Massive guest list and and deep discussion of Australia's political pivot.

Gigi Foster is a Professor and Director of Education at The School of Economics at UNSW Business School. She holds qualifications in ethics, politics and economics, and joined Discernable for a second time to explain inflation and cost of living.

As the world suffers escalating prices on nearly all goods and services, are we experiencing inflation? Or is this simply market prices reflecting fluctuating supply/demand curves?

Is this a temporary phenomenon caused by supply chain disruption? Or is all the money printing by central banks devaluing our currencies?

This hour is an opportunity to learn what inflation is, how to identify it, what causes it, and what to do about it.

Jacob Mchangama is the founder of Justitia, Denmark's first judicial think tank with a focus on human rights, freedom rights, and the rule of law. A practising attorney for many years, Jacob has become one of the world's most sought-after and awarded experts on free speech driven by his extensive writing and media work. 

His most recent book Free Speech: A History from Socrates to Social Media chronicles the history of that 'bedrock of democracy' and has been praised as 'the best defence of free speech ever made'.

He joined Discernable to explain whether free speech is a luxury or a foundational principle, and who suffers and benefits from free speech. We also looked at research on the Australian perspective of free speech.

Former Premier of Queensland Campbell Newman joined us to explain why he is running for the Liberal Democrats in the federal election.

In particular, I wanted Campbell to explain the seeming contradiction between the freedom values of the Liberal Democratic Party and his time as Premier introducing fierce anti-bikie laws that drew the ire of civil liberty groups.

Campbell explained his motivations, regrets and hopes for the future of Australian politics.
