I'm collecting Liberals - this week it's Ted's turn!
LIBERAL HELPINGS
Another Liberal helping of Freshly Doug, this week (c’mon Labor, you can’t be THAT shy) as we go Digging Deeper with the leader of the Victorian Liberal Party TED BAILLIEU, in a relaxed conversation about his life and work and his favourite music. That’s between 10 and 11.
PERTH TO ALBANY
DANIEL WITTHAUS latest episode of the 'Beyond That's So Gay’ tour - Perth to Albany. He’s stared down homophobic truckers and the wild men of Kalgoorlie, what has he found on the latest leg of his snit-homophobia tour of the continent?
A MUM'S OWN STORY
We all love SHELLEY ARGENT, the mum every gay boy and girl would love to have had. Now she’s put together her story in a book. Opening the Door: a mother's journey when her son comes out, is one of the first books published in Australia about the challenges faced by a parent of a gay son.
RUGGER BUGGERED?
Dirty deeds at the rugger club or a storm in a teacup? There’s been a swirl of rumours around gay-friendly rugby union team the Melbourne Chargers after their parent club – Footscray – was unexpectedly relegated from the first division. Homophobia at work, or is there a more innocent explanation? President BEN LANCKEN will tell all.
PUPPY FARMING
How much is that doggie in the window? Do you know here that cute little fluffball came from? Allie Jalbert from the RSPCA tells us the terrible story of Puppy farms, and what you can do to help close them down.
THE REGULARS
Plus Will Conyers from Broadway@Bedtime with a full six-pack of theatrical news, and Andrew Potts Sydney Star Observer with his observations of stories of the week.
All on Freshly Doug, Joy 94.9, Melbourne, Australia, streaming live at Really Long Link 9am to Noon local time.
