November 5: Best We Forget: The War for White Australia 1914-18 – Remembrance Day Special
Dr Peter Cochrane … in conversation with Bill Kable
Preceding the Great War there was a dramatic shift in the mindset of Australia’s political leaders, from a profound sense of safety in the Empire’s embrace to a deep anxiety about abandonment by Britain.
Collective memory now recalls a rallying to the cause in 1914, a total identification with British interests and the need to defeat Germany. But there is an underside to this story: the belief that the newly federated nation’s racial purity must be bought with blood.
Peter Cochrane examines how the racial preoccupations that shaped Australia’s involvement in the war have been lost to popular memory.

John Broadbent … in conversation with Bill Kable
In the not-too-distant past, a man’s self-worth, being a provider and protector, were strongly tied to his work. With global financial pressures, changes in employment and gender roles in flux, the traditional roles of men are changing.
Health, sexuality, intimacy and emotional mobility underpin a man’s capacity to relate, which in turn informs the quality of his interpersonal relationships and ultimately, society.
Join John Broadbent as he takes you on a journey through the inner world of men, exploring the multiple facets of why we are as we are. You’ll understand the steps men can take to instil lasting change, resulting in authentic men, connected relationships, happier families and stronger communities.
