    From the producer: Newsmakers with Leigh Sales

    When Leigh Sales, one of our earliest supporters, said yes to joining us on Newsmakers—it was a big moment for us. With so much to ask, we dive into everything from her time as a foreign correspondent and anchoring 7.30 to her writing on journalism, research into grief and fear, and her thoughts on news fatigue. Plus, we chat about her side hustle, Chat 10 Looks 3, which has grown into a community of tens of thousands.

    Leigh shares her interview approach, dream guests, and even a few celebrity stories. Whether you’re into news, journalism, or just curious, there’s something here for everyone.

    From the producer: Bernie Shakeshaft on more kids, more towns, more empathy

    With all the news of late about youth crime, gendered violence, and incarceration rates, we have found ourselves asking - I wonder what Bernie thinks? Bernie Shakeshaft is the 2020 Australian Local Hero of the Year recipient and the founder of Backtrack. It's a community-led organisation for young people who are having a tough time. In this chat, he delves into what helping those kids who need it most means and why it makes a big difference.

    Club Picks:

    1. This piece on the ABC looks at the data around youth offender rates and the various solutions being offered. 
    2. This Moree report, written by Adam Harvey in March, paints a picture of what it is like to live with the issue of youth crime on your doorstep. We interviewed Adam Harvey previously on News Club about reporting on conflict zones.
    3. This is the documentary made in 2018 about BackTrack and a recent update to it. You can also watch the trailer here.
    4. This is Bernie featured in the AFR’s Philanthropy edition. If you don’t have time for the doco or our News Club interview, this is an easy way to get across what he has built/is building.

    "In some ways I feel guilty": Australian of the Year Richard Scolyer has incurable brain cancer

    Richard Scolyer is our 2024 joint Australian of the Year and Medical Director of the Melanoma Institute of Australia, alongside his colleague and friend Professor Georgina Long. Less than a decade ago, advanced melanoma was fatal. Thanks to their work in immunotherapy, it’s now curable.

    But in June 2023, Richard was diagnosed with incurable grade four brain cancer, with an average survival of 14 months. It’s now been 18 months since his diagnosis. Why is he still here? No one knows. It could be luck, or it could be the world's first experimental treatment he undertook.

    Richard's book, Brainstorm, is out now.

    "We need to talk about it as a country": The Alice Springs Mayor on the reality of life there

    Alice Springs has come and gone from national news coverage over the past few years. It started with the lapse of alcohol and pornography bans in remote communities around Alice Springs in mid-2022. Property offences increased by almost 60%, assaults rose by 38%, and domestic violence assaults doubled. Since then, steps have been taken to reinstate restrictions, but the town and its surrounding communities have remained in the national spotlight. We debated who to speak with, but all roads pointed back to Matt Paterson, the young, outspoken Mayor who won the job by just two votes in 2021.

    We'd love it if you could complete our News Club survey.
