1.09 - Inescapable Plus+ Podcast - The Great Feminisation

MU+ Extended

Ben Roberts-Smith's arrest looks worse the more you examine it. Channel Nine's article was timestamped before the arrest happened, the alleged victims in the charging documents have no names, no crime scenes, no bodies, and one eyewitness placed 300 metres from the incident. We go through the details and ask how this case ever got past the DPP.

From there: Anthony Albanese announces Australia's first female Chief of Army. We look at what that appointment signals, how it fits into the broader pattern of diversity-driven appointments across the military and public institutions, and what the feminisation of leadership culture actually costs.

Then the stories get stranger and darker: public defecation, a child left in a hot car excused as cultural difference, a ritual cleansing ceremony that ends in death, and a string of viral moments that would have been unthinkable a generation ago. A society in visible decline, where the gap between official explanations and what people can see keeps getting wider.
