Jacqui Lambie has always stood out from the mediocrity of Australian politicians - even in the announcement of her exit from the Senate after being caught up in the ridiculous 'Citizenship Crisis'. Her no-nonsense response that politicians who unwittingly breached Section 44 of the Constitution should just 'suck it up', deal with their fate and run for Parliament again, is a typical approach that endears her to many.

During her time in Parliament, Jacqui has been a somewhat refreshing and authentic Australian voice in the Senate. Love her or otherwise, you can't deny Jacqui is, fair dinkum, hands down, the "real deal" as she continues to stand steadfast for matters that include a better deal for our military veterans, and a sustainable system of care for those afflicted by the scourge of ice addiction.

Jacqui joined me on the line to talk about these matters and share some titbits from her brand new, warts and all autobiography “Rebel with a Cause”

It's no secret that nurses and midwives can often neglect and sacrifice their own health and wellbeing for the sake of others. Whilst this is a commendable characteristic, it's important to recognise, that in order to support others, their self-care is critical. The Nursing and Midwifery Health Program Victoria was established to provide advice, support and case management to nurses, midwives and students of nursing. Initially addressing challenges presented by substance use and later, associated mental health concerns.

Glenn Taylor, a registered nurse and CEO of the NMHP, joined tmew to talk about the many challenges facing this extraordinary helping profession and also sharing the personal journey that led to his very own calling.
