Griffith University

severe impacts on your daily life.

Joining us this morning... is Professor Paul Martin, a clinical and health psychologist from Monash and Griffith University, ahead of Migraine and Headache Awareness Week.

Welcome to the show, Paul.

Thanks for that, Sarah.

Uh, look, this is the thing, right, when it comes to, to pork barreling.

I wonder how, and I question how much it actually works, and I did speak to a political scientist, Paul Williams, from Griffith Uni up in Queensland about this as well.

He says there's not really much data when it comes to actual proof that if you spend money, public money, on an electorate, people are more likely to vote in that seat.

Because Aussies, by and large, are more so issues-based voters.

... that, like, I got when I was 15, that would trigger so many memories.

Um, and so yeah, I don't know.

It's a really interesting thought, I think, like, would you go to a museum if it was, like, you know, created? Um, and I do just wanna credit, like, this idea has come from, uh, some researchers at Griffith University who, um, you know, are kinda saying that youth culture has often been treated as fleeting or frivolous, but those throwaway trappings of teenage life, a diary, a T-shirt, a mixtape, can become powerful historical artifacts.

Um, that's what, uh, the quote is there.

This week, why a war criminal is being celebrated by some as a hero, and how this is reopening old wounds in one of Europe's most divided regions.

Olivera Simic, you are an international law professor at Griffith University in Australia and a Bosnian Serb yourself.

As someone who has devoted a career to studying the legacy of the Bosnian War, how did the images from the funeral make you feel?

So I would say that although these scenes and current events are not entirely surprising to me and to many of us who have been following closely the politics in the Balkans, they are still deeply disturbing and, on a personal level, very sad.
