Current Affairs - The opinions of a grumpy old pouf

 
Doug Pollard is a veteran gay journalist, columnist, commentator, and broadcaster specialising in GLBTI issues, based in Melbourne Australia. He often works with Rob Mitchell of the RJM Trust, "We are separate independent and unaffiliated guerilla campaigners and advocates, and the best of mates: nimble, fast-moving, unconventional and above all aiming to drive rapid change", he says.

Apologies for being late with this preview - family matters swallowed up a lot of time yesterday.

On the show today

Well it takes more than a high speed collision with a tree to keep a good man down. Last month Rob Mitchell’s ute was blown off the freeway and into a tree but thankfully Rob suffered only some cracked ribs and considerable bruising. But he’s back on the warpath and now he has Stephanie Rice in his sights.

Our Washington Correspondent Harley Dennett has been spending time in San Francisco at the annual conference of gay journalists and brings us his report.


Just published - a no-nonsense book on parenting, but instead of the usual do’s and don’ts it’s full of stories and advice from real parents – including same sex parents. Author Rebecca Griffin explains.

On Digging Deeper this week, between 10 and 11my special guest is David Menadue: David has told his story as a longtime AIDS survivor many times before so we’re going to venture off the beaten track with David Menadue at 10.

Plus Corey Irlam tries to read the runes of the new government – will it last – Adam Wright reports from the recent health and wellbeing forum in Beechworth, a gay couple try to win a mile-high wedding, and Rebecca Griffin tells us all about her parenting books – no rules, just lots of experience from parents, including same-sex parents.

We’ll start at usual with the latest report from Daniel Witthaus on his tour challenging homophobia in rural and regional Australia in Broken Hill.
