    Episode 35: The changing landscape of human rights in Australia with Natalie Siegel-Brown
    Oct 21 2026
    In this episode of The Latest, Natalie Siegel-Brown, Australia’s Inspector-General of Aged Care, joins us for a conversation about her career in human rights advocacy and the importance of protecting the rights of older Australians.

    Natalie reflects on how the human rights landscape has evolved throughout her career and what her role overseeing Australia’s aged care system revealed about the challenges facing older people. We also explore the specific barriers LGBTI older people may experience when accessing aged care services, and what needs to change to ensure their rights, dignity and wellbeing are protected under Australia’s new aged care system.

    Episode 34: Choosing inclusion over division with Joe Ball
    Oct 21 2026
    In this episode of The Latest, Triana Butler speaks with Joe Ball, Victorian Commissioner for LGBTIQA+ Communities, about the changing social and political environment for LGBTIQA+ people in Australia.

    Drawing on more than 25 years of advocacy across mental health, suicide prevention, family violence, disability, housing and homelessness, Joe reflects on the rise of organised anti-rights movements, increasing hostility towards trans and gender diverse people, and what these developments mean for social cohesion, democracy and wellbeing.

    The conversation explores the real-world consequences of discrimination and misinformation, the role governments and services can play in building safer and more inclusive systems, and the challenge of continuing long-term reform while responding to immediate threats. Joe also reflects on what gives him hope, and how community leadership, lived experience and collective action can help create a future in which LGBTIQA+ people can participate safely and equally.

    Episode 33: Greer McGearey
    Jan 30 2026
    In this episode, Triana speaks with Greer McGeary, a long-standing community leader, advocate and life member of Seahorse Victoria, the longest continuously operating trans social support group in Australia. A parent, grandparent and great-grandparent, Greer brings a lifetime of experience across public service, small business, community organisations and peer-led spaces. She is also widely respected for her public speaking, including many years of involvement with Toastmasters.

    Greer reflects on growing up knowing she was different, long before she had the language to understand why, and on building a full family and working life before later finding peer support through Seahorse Victoria. The conversation is thoughtful and wide-ranging, touching on the importance of community, kindness, dignity and how we treat one another. Greer offers gentle and reassuring advice, drawing on her own experience to speak honestly about fear, acceptance, and the importance of giving yourself time and permission to live openly. This episode references the Victorian Government’s The Unsaid Says a Lot campaign, which focuses on the everyday comments, assumptions and behaviours that can undermine the dignity of trans and gender-diverse people. The campaign encourages greater awareness of how small moments of respect, or lack of it, can have a real impact on people’s sense of safety, belonging and wellbeing.

    The episode also references Seahorse Victoria, a peer-led support and social group for trans people that has been operating in Victoria since 1975 and is the longest continuously running organisation of its type in Australia. Founded to provide connection, mutual support and community for trans people across diverse life paths, Seahorse Victoria offers regular meet-ups and social activities that help people build relationships and share lived experience in a welcoming environment.
