    A birthing trend is leading to deaths. Why is it growing in popularity?
    Nov 4 2025

    A series of tragic deaths of Australian mothers and babies, as a result of so-called “freebirthing” has put this practice into the spotlight.

    What is “freebirthing”, you ask? Call it birth without a safety net, that is: without any doctor, trained clinician or registered midwife present. Some women are alone. Some are just with their partner.

    Today, senior writer Wendy Tuohy on why women are arguably risking their lives - and that of their baby - to engage in this increasingly popular practice, and the “birth influencers” encouraging them, some of whom have reportedly claimed to have more clinical skills than they do.

    'The most intense attack of my career': Alex Greenwich on what happened with Mark Latham
    Nov 2 2025

    High-profile politician Alex Greenwich is used to the robust world of public office, but he says he had never experienced such an intense attack on his sexuality after his public stoush with Mark Latham.

    Latham, the former Labor leader turned political pariah, was ordered to pay Greenwich $140,000 for a vile social media post the Federal Court found defamed the gay Sydney independent MP.

    It’s a judgment Latham, who is also an independent MP in the NSW parliament, is appealing.

    All of this is not new, but Greenwich is now speaking out about the extent the saga has affected him in the latest episode of The Morning Edition with Samantha Selinger-Morris
