Australian Nuclear Energy with Dr Mark Ho

1hr 9min

22 October 2024

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.

'Flinders University Attacks Cancer Research' - Professor Nikolai Petrovsky

The Discernable Interviews

'Flinders University Attacks Cancer Research' - Professor Nikolai Petrovsky

1hr 15min

13 July 2024

Professor Nikolai Petrovsky claims that Flinders University in South Australia is destroying its reputation and embracing itself as ‘the university that hates research’ with ‘no time for developing treatments for cancer patients’.

In this interview I questioned the professor on his cancer vaccine research, how and why Flinders University is thwarting that research, and whether his vaccine will be any better than mRNA products.

Professor Petrovsky shares his expert opinion on mRNA safety, whether he and his family would ever take them, and what the future holds.

Flinders University was contacted for comment and provided the following statement:


Dr Petrovsky has not been affiliated with Flinders University since November 2022.

The cancer trial in question is entirely a matter for Vaxine Pty Ltd, which is a privately owned company with no association with Flinders University.

Securing suitable accommodation to pursue its commitments is entirely a matter for Vaxine Pty Ltd.

The New Stolen Generation: Australia Traffics Its Children for Profit

1hr 21min

13 June 2024

Filmmaker Dee McLachlan investigates the ‘open market’ of child trafficking that operates in Australia. Through her films (that have gone as far as the United Nations) and her online news network, Dee raises the alarm over the way Australian governments, judiciaries and departments coordinate to create a market for children being removed from one or both parents, sustaining a massive bureaucracy that is not incentivised in any way to reunite or restore children to their families.

Listen to this interview to learn what sort of parents are targeted, how they are targeted, and what we must do to clean up the legal but heinous market for officially trafficked children in Australia.

What is the deal with our obsession with house prices? Is it right that a basic need has been turned into a speculative investment?

Are rocketing house prices real or just inflation by another name?

Property expert Dr Cameron Murray was one of the only economists to correctly predict a 20% surge in house prices would occur during the Covid years. He returned to Discernable to lay out future trajectories of housing prices and rents and explain what we are seeing in 2024.

  • Professor Nikolai Petrovsky invented a Covid-19 vaccine.
  • He took his own vaccine.
  • He was fired and cancelled for refusing and calling out the potential dangers of competing technologies (mRNA).

He has been labelled a conspiracy theorist and an ‘antivaxxer’ in a stunning display of ignorance and doublespeak.



Jay Vidanage: Employers are Liable for Mandates

Jay Vidanage: Employers are Liable for Mandates

1hr 21min

28 February 2024

Jay Vidanage is a barrister and solicitor from Old Port Chambers in Adelaide, Australia. Jay believes that it’s only a matter of time before the wheels of justice come down on vaccine mandates. He points to recent wins in court that demonstrate a shift in judicial tone around Covid-19, vaccines, and vaccine mandates.

Most concerning is the way mandates and directions are being declared unlawful by courts, for varying reasons, leaving employers exposed for any harms they may have caused their employees by enforcing what they thought were valid government mandates.

Jay delivers a message of responsibility and warning for all employers to ensure they have covered their own backsides in the way they enforced increasingly unlawful mandates.

17 February 2024

Something in politics is broken. We all know it. Politicians have become masters of getting elected whilst getting nothing done in the real world. Is there a way to get them to focus on solving actual problems rather than chasing polls and keeping their jobs?

Iain Walker is the Executive Director of the New Democracy Foundation, an independent research organisation that designs and implements ‘citizen juries’ to various levels of government around the world.

In this interview we explored how citizen assemblies are making an impact globally, gradually becoming a viable and accepted method of decision making.

Tune in to this interview to hear about how politicians are being incentivised to ‘stop playing politics’ by this new form of public governance.
