“I think I, as a leader, learned a lot about diversity and inclusion. And it's not enough as leaders to just say, I want diversity and hope it's going to follow unwittingly. And I think it's just, again, because of who I am, it was incredibly inclusive, so I had no barriers to entry. I celebrated every single woman equally. And as a result, that visible difference meant that more and more women saw themselves in people they wouldn't have normally seen being celebrated…….”

Everyday travelers are fed thousands of meals in the air and at sea. Transport food has come a long way since the first meal â a cold chicken sandwich â was served in-flight in 1919.
Besha Rodell, chief dining critic at The Age, Good Food Australia and Good Weekend magazine, has eaten her way around the globe.
She charts the rise and fall of transport dining, from the advent of flying and transcontinental cruises to the mass marketing of airlines today.
This was first broadcast on October 15, 2022.

Oslo Davis, the award-winning illustrator and cartoonist, is a professional voyeur.
He's made a career out of observing the banalities of urban life â mostly in his hometown of Melbourne â and re-interpreting them on the page. Many of these have featured in his long-running 'Overheard' series for The Age.
Be it revealing conversations on the tram, curious quips in a children's bookstore, or â in Oslo's words â "delicious" deliberations in the line for movie tickets, Oslo has caught a swathe of shared intimacies that play out in public. A mix of his new and old work has been compiled in the new book, Oslo's Melbourne â Illustrated Adventures in the World's Most Tolerated City.

Earlier this week, actor Rebel Wilson found herself being forced into making a choice: come out to the world and publicly state that she is in a relationship with fashion designer Ramona Agruma, or face being "outed" by a gossip columnist.
Rebel's choice to announce her relationship on her own terms was widely applauded, as many felt it was unfair that she'd been forced to disclose who she was dating to begin with, and wondered why is a woman dating another woman considered headline news in 2022?
The Quicky speaks to a queer studies academic, an advocate for the LGBTIQA+ community, and a celebrity who faced her own public coming out, to find out what impact the threat of being publicly "outed" has on a person, whether they are famous or not.

In this episode of The Five Minute Advocate, Julie breaks down the coverage of the election campaign by the mainstream media. There was a huge disconnect between the electorate and the coverage that was being spun by the media outlets. Why is this? And how can we make it better for the next election cycle?

Warning: This episode discusses abuse, mental illness and suicide.
Abbie* can’t live with her mum because of abuse in the household. Chris says he was rejected when he came out as trans. Maddison’s* mother is too damaged to care for her.
Many young people are affected by problems stemming from broken homes, domestic violence and other traumatic events.
Long-term, there is a strong relationship between trauma and poor mental health but young people can bounce back with the right support.
National charity Youth Insearch uses a peer support model to help young people like Abbie, Chris and Maddison rebuild their lives.
Jewel and Sophie attend a three-day camp where young people draw on their own experiences of pain, hurt and triumph over adversity to help others, making them realise they are not alone.

Warning: This episode discusses eating disorders and suicide.
Molli was convinced she had to be thin to be a dancer and started copying restrictive eating advice she was seeing on YouTube. Alex became obsessed with attaining an “ideal” muscular body after a break-up, and ended up nearly losing his life. Melani used binge-eating to cope with loneliness and became afraid to go to parties.
Eating disorders took control of their minds until all they could think about was food.
There remains a widespread lack of recognition that eating disorders are a mental illness. Some experts say awareness is a decade behind that of depression and anxiety.
Eating disorders thrive in isolation and during the pandemic, calls for eating disorder lines doubled, with young people most vulnerable.
As Molli, Alex and Melani have gone through treatment, they’ve worked at reframing their relationship with food, exercise and their bodies.

Warning: This episode discusses anxiety and suicide.
Isaac was in so much distress he was convinced he was having a heart attack. But like many others, he discovered it was actually a panic attack and he was experiencing anxiety.
Minka’s anxiety started at age seven and ever since, she’s struggled to get to school.
Nelani’s was triggered when she was bullied over her accent.
While for Portia, racism has been a big contributor to the panic attacks that have affected her life.
Anxiety is the most common mental illness, and yet it often goes untreated and can balloon into something that can cause a person to avoid situations.
But solutions are at hand. In this episode, you’ll hear from four young people - Isaac, Nelani, Portia and Minka - who share their story and offer hope for others living with anxiety.

Warning: This episode discusses self-harm, suicide and sexual assault.
Alex, who is transgender, experienced depression and suicidal thoughts from the age of 11. But socially transitioning in Year 8 - with the support of his parents and school - marked a turning point in his mental health. Jack’s parents were delighted when he came out as gay but a horrible incident triggered a dark depressive episode. And Emily struggled with cultural expectations as she figured out her sexuality.
Research shows that a disproportionate number of LBGTQI+ youth experience mental health issues. This is directly related to experiences of stigma, prejudice, discrimination and abuse on the basis of being queer.
Emily, Alex and Jack talk about their mental health and the importance of acceptance from family and community.
Support for LGBTQI+ youth, their families and carers is available. Call QLife on 1800 184 527 3pm to midnight every day.
Support is also available from Beyond Blue at beyondblue.org.au or on 1300 224 636. For crisis support, call Lifeline on 13 11 14 or text 0477 131 114.

Warning: This episode discusses suicide.
Anita grew up hiding her feelings. Outwardly she was confident and happy but inside she was anxious and would often cry alone. Daniel was plagued by thoughts that others were judging him about his stutter. At 16, he had to be taken out of school because of panic attacks and suicidal thoughts.
In this episode we explore suicidal ideation. It is not in itself a mental illness, but people who experience persistent suicidal thoughts are at a higher risk of ending their own lives.
Today, Daniel has learnt to manage his suicidal thoughts and Anita has survived two suicide attempts. Both have made it their mission to relay messages of help, hope and self-love. As Anita says: “There’s nobody in the world like you.”

Warning: This episode discusses depression, suicide and drug abuse
Nathan went into year 12 thinking it was going to be one of the best years of his life. But the pandemic stole all the normal rites of passage and he was left struggling with depression. Depression is a serious mental illness. It can feel like you're in a black hole and like there's no hope or joy. For Kaara, it was a case of masking her depression with recreational drugs and reckless behaviour. Meanwhile Ava found the usual advice for dealing with depression frustrating and unhelpful.
This episode explores how the three of them found their way through. And their most important message? You are not alone.

Ahead of the first episode of Bondi Badlands this week, listen to host and Good Weekend deputy editor Greg Callaghan in conversation with Good Weekend editor Katrina Strickland about the series and a special preview of what to expect.
For over 15 years, Greg Callaghan has been writing about the murders of gay men at the clifftops on the southern headland of Sydney's Bondi. This was the epicentre of a wave of gay hate killings that spread across Sydney at the time. Now Callaghan hosts a podcast which delves into the factors behind this war on gay men and why these murders continue to reverberate as cold cases.

Cliff Lockwood was just 19 when he left the peace of a tiny town to join the police force. “I know it sounds funny but I just wanted to do good. Nineteen was way too young. You don’t know anything.”
On Sunday April 9, 1989 Lockwood and his partner, Senior Detective Dermot Avon arrested car thief and suspected violent criminal Gary Abdullah and took him to his Drummond Street two level flat to search for evidence and an accomplice.
According to police Abdullah grabbed and imitation firearm and Lockwood responded by firing six shots from his gun, then grabbed Avon’s to fire the last and fatal shot.
Both police were charged with murder and were acquitted.
Lockwood’s left policing and his life spiralled out of control. He was jailed in the Northern Territory.
Now he is back in Victoria trying to rebuild his life.

For a time gangland figures lived a fast and often lucrative life, but very few made it out alive. After 11 unsolved murders, including Moran brothers Mark and Jason, and their father Lewis, police put together a taskforce to tackle the gangland war. They investigated Andrew 'Benji' Veniamin, Mick Gatto, Carl Williams and Tony Mockbell among others.
Purana ended up investigating over 300 people, listening in on more than 100,000 hours of phone conversations, using 39 tracking devices to follow suspects for more than 22,000 hours. One of the key police informants was lawyer Nicola Gobbo, a fact which puts several convictions into jeopardy.

The rookie teacher at the tiny country school was startled during morning recess when some of the kids ran into the single weatherboard classroom, yelling: "There's a man outside with a gun."
Rob Hunter had been the sole teacher at the Gippsland town of Wooreen for just nine days - his first posting after three years at teachers' college. He was 20 years old. Maree Young was his student, she was just 11 years old.
The man with the revolver and wearing a Collingwood beanie as a balaclava was Geelong Prison escapee Edwin John "Ted" Eastwood, 26, who five years earlier pulled the same crime 270 kilometres away, kidnapping a teacher and six students from Faraday. It was February 14, 1977. In the next 21 hours they would experience a car crash, a night imprisoned at a remote campsite, an escape, police pursuit, a shootout and a wounding before final rescue.
In this episode of Naked City, Rob Hunter and Maree Young tell their story, first hand.
