After 14 years working there, I have faced repeated workplace investigations, more than 200 allegations and confidentiality demands over views I’ve expressed publicly. Not one allegation concerns my classroom teaching or academic research. I refuse to be silenced for speaking about abortion, gender, marriage and free speech. This legal battle is bigger than my career. It’s about whether universities genuinely protect academic freedom when they disagree with an academic’s views. I could lose my job, but I am not backing down. This fight starts now in court. 📲 Follow for Updates: 📸 Instagram, TikTok & Facebook: @drjoannahowe 🐦 X/Twitter: @ProfJoannaHowe 🎙️ Podcast available on all platforms: https://thedrjoshow.transistor.fm/ 📩 Join my weekly e-newsletter: https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/join 🙏 Help raise awareness of Australia’s extreme abortion laws by donating here: https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/donate

The Irish government helped fund a “consent” ad telling grandparents that not every grandchild wants a hug. After public backlash, the ad was pulled. And I can see exactly why. In this episode, James and I break down the bizarre We Consent campaign, how it turns ordinary family affection into something suspicious, and the dangerous confusion created when sex is compared with everyday human contact. We examine the minister’s response, the wider consent education movement, and what all of this means for parents, grandparents and children. Families everywhere deserve much better than this taxpayer-funded ideological overreach masquerading as public education. 📲 Follow for Updates: 📸 Instagram, TikTok & Facebook: @drjoannahowe 🐦 X/Twitter: @ProfJoannaHowe 🎙️ Podcast available on all platforms: https://thedrjoshow.transistor.fm/ 📩 Join my weekly e-newsletter: https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/join 🙏 Help raise awareness of Australia’s extreme abortion laws by donating here: https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/donate

Support our defamation case here: https://www.givesendgo.com/help-me-sue-for-defamation Australia is now introducing consent education for children as young as two, and I believe parents should be deeply alarmed. In this episode, James and I examine the childcare resources, watch a video teaching young children the names of private body parts, and explain why we reject the entire consent framework for toddlers. Protecting children from sexual abuse matters enormously, but teaching them boundaries and how to say NO is not the same as normalising consent ideology. I'll share the practical safeguards we've taught our five children and why parents must demand answers about what's happening in childcare right now. 📲 Follow for Updates: 📸 Instagram, TikTok & Facebook: @drjoannahowe 🐦 X/Twitter: @ProfJoannaHowe 🎙️ Podcast available on all platforms: https://thedrjoshow.transistor.fm/ 📩 Join my weekly e-newsletter: https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/join 🙏 Help raise awareness of Australia’s extreme abortion laws by donating here: https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/donate

Support our defamation case here: https://www.givesendgo.com/help-me-sue-for-defamation Pauline Hanson’s One Nation built its reputation on standing up to the political establishment. But Victorian deputy leader Colleen Harkin’s promise not to change abortion laws clashes with the party’s stated opposition to late-term abortion. James and I break down her extraordinary press conference, the former Liberals seeking a place in One Nation, and the danger of becoming Liberal Party 2.0. I still believe in Pauline, but this response was unacceptable. Australians do not need another party that caves under media pressure. One Nation must clarify its position, honour its commitments and prove it is different from the major parties. 📲 Follow for Updates: 📸 Instagram, TikTok & Facebook: @drjoannahowe 🐦 X/Twitter: @ProfJoannaHowe 🎙️ Podcast available on all platforms: https://thedrjoshow.transistor.fm/ 📩 Join my weekly e-newsletter: https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/join 🙏 Help raise awareness of Australia’s extreme abortion laws by donating here: https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/donate

Support our defamation case here: https://www.givesendgo.com/help-me-sue-for-defamation The Sydney Swans scandal is falling apart, and this week brought three enormous developments. Nick Blakey has reportedly secured a $12 million move to North Melbourne, his side of the Pullman hotel incident has finally emerged, and new details about a secret recording raise even more questions about the allegations. James and I expose the extraordinary media reaction, the commentators still demanding punishment, and the AFL's disgraceful handling of these players. The police investigation is ongoing, but I'm certain the public was sold a completely misleading story. These men deserve fairness, not trial by headline. We are not backing down. 📲 Follow for Updates: 📸 Instagram, TikTok & Facebook: @drjoannahowe 🐦 X/Twitter: @ProfJoannaHowe 🎙️ Podcast available on all platforms: https://thedrjoshow.transistor.fm/ 📩 Join my weekly e-newsletter: https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/join 🙏 Help raise awareness of Australia’s extreme abortion laws by donating here: https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/donate

Support our defamation case here: https://www.givesendgo.com/help-me-sue-for-defamation Register for the National Life Summit: https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/lifesummit2026 An ABC Adelaide radio host has accused James of misogyny over his blunt comments about AFLW. In this episode, we play Jules Schiller’s videos, show you what he said, and expose the extraordinary double standard behind his lecture on kindness. James explains the context the critics conveniently ignored: the push for AFLW players to receive the same pay as men. We also reveal the question James sent Jules about equal pay, and why his silence speaks volumes. I am tired of the media twisting our words while pretending to occupy the moral high ground. We are not backing down. Ever. 📲 Follow for Updates: 📸 Instagram, TikTok & Facebook: @drjoannahowe 🐦 X/Twitter: @ProfJoannaHowe 🎙️ Podcast available on all platforms: https://thedrjoshow.transistor.fm/ 📩 Join my weekly e-newsletter: https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/join 🙏 Help raise awareness of Australia’s extreme abortion laws by donating here: https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/donate
