September 27: Best We Forget: The War for White Australia 1914-18
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.
In an increasingly complicated and nuanced world, raising boys to become emotionally strong, kind and resilient men is even more important and relevant. In response to calls from parents around the world Steve Biddulph has completely updated and revised his seminal work to include all the latest international information and advice for parents on all the key issues of today such as brain and hormonal development including latest findings on testosterone, transgender/gay/sexuality development, boys and crying, ‘bad’ behaviour, reading and communication, and countering the effects of porn.
October 11: Fathers and Daughters
Madonna King … in conversation with Bill Kable
What do our girls think about their fathers? And what are fathers struggling with when it comes to their relationship with their daughters?
Exploring a father’s role in his daughter’s life from a daughter’s perspective as well as the father’s, Madonna examines the key issues that arise to help families navigate the sometimes very difficult moments. She reveals why daughters turn against their fathers, teen rebellion, discipline, sexual education, the impact of broken families, how much influence a father can/should have and what you can do to repair a broken relationship.
