Looking back on today's show it was all about Freedom. Freedom of association, freedom of religion, freedom to choose and where those freedoms are taken away or clouded.

We covered:

Religious education in schools - to opt in or opt out? do we really have a choice?

and

Human Rights Dinner and the start of Human Rights Awareness week.

I did have lots of what's ons...but they seemed irrelevant to put in the podcast so it sounds like I end the show really abruptly! Perhaps it is better - short and to the point!

Equality was the topic of the day - I think this topic is bigger than big and actually the root of a great many illogical happenings in our world.  Here is how the thread came together from the news of the week...

• Marriage equality - in the shape of the Irish vote for same sex marriage.
• Relationship equality in the shape of the terrifying rise of awareness around domestic abuse.
• Abuse of power is a lack of respect for the equality of all human beings - this can encompass the abuse by adults of children as seen in the investigations into the abuse of children in the Catholic church and other organisations.
• Abuse of power and a flagrant disregard to equality has been seen in the unfolding FIFA corruption allegations. 

This week was the culmination of a number of weeks introducing the guests on the show today. We were hosted by Asquith Girls High for Triple H’s first school Outside broadcast – the first of many I hope. The recording is a little scratchy but don't let it that stop you listening to the gems delivered in the 90 minute show.

My guests today were Lauren and Tess from Asquith Girls High School, Snr Constable Lynda Hart the Hornsby local command School Liaison Officer, Kym Carlson Clinical Manager KYDS, Leonie Smith 'The Cyber Safety Lady' and, via the airwaves, we had a previously yet specially recorded interview with The Honourable Paul Fletcher MP, Member for Bradfield and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Communications.

I was invited to the Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Youth Forum 2015 last week, a one day forum on mental health which was hosted by the Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Youth Network which is now in its 4th year. This year's event was facilitated by a company called Batyr. 

3 of the participants were my guests today...Jacob, Anshul and Rohit. They were amazing and it was great to see what they got out of the day as well as listening to the pearls of wisdom they shared during the show. 

At the start of the forum the participants were asked to speak to their neighbours about mental health and the words used around it. When asked how many thought the words used during their discussion around mental health were positive - 3 people in the whole room put their hands up. The stigma around mental health is huge....more on that a little later.

I don't think there is ever a show where I am not blessed with who I have interviewed and today is no different. Once again we had Senior constables Linda Hart and Stefanie Murray and this weeks subject was Cyber abuse and how they address it in both primary and secondary education.

I also had phone interview with 'The Cyber Safety Lady' Leonie Smith and two wonderful young studio guests Annaliese and Oliver to talk about Cyber abuse and Anzac Day. Annaliese and Oliver were also pretty amazing reading the What's on's so I will ensure that is something my guests do more often!

Today I had 3 great local guests in the studio. Olivia H, Rosie and Olivia W. They each brought with them great experiences of getting involved in local events - and give us some great insights into Nippers, surf lifesaving as well as being our tip top reviewers for the week.

What a show - I loved every minute of today even though the technology was a challenge! No laptop, no satellite therefore no news, there was a buzz all the way through the first 10 minutes or so...boy oh boy was something trying to put me off. But NO!! How can that happen when you have some amazing interviews ready to go? I re-recorded the intro...substantially shorter than the original but it did what intros do!

Now to my interviews - Chris Stone from Y Foundations talking about #YHMD2015, Daniel Allars from Hornsby PCYC talking about the Time 4 Kids PCYC lock up, and guests in the studio Margie McCrae and Rhys Briggs.

The team from Mount St Benedict College crammed into the studio today to bring the most amazing show to the Triple H listeners. The show talked about the language we use around refugees and asylum seekers and asks if we have a responsibility for influencing the debate through the words we choose.
