Mitchell Unlimited S01E06 - Gatt & Lasry
🎙️ In this episode of Mitchell Unlimited..
Crime has been one of the most critical issues in Australia for years now. There's no question it's gone up, people are worried going about their daily business, insurance premiums have been forced up, some people even sleep with a baseball bat next to them.
So why? Is the system too lenient? Is juvenile crime aggravated by easy bail; are the sentences too light?
Today in debate, two men from different angles wanting the same result: the copper and the judge. Wayne Gatt is a former operational policeman, he's now secretary of the Victoria's Police Association. Lex Lasry was a Supreme Court judge for almost 20 years. They know the problems, the strengths, the weaknesses. Perhaps they've got some answers: the copper and the judge. A rare debate.
Plus in Millennials vs Boomers.. AI..

Mitchell Unlimited S01E04 - Peter Ford
In this special "retro" edition of Mitchell Unlimited, we’re opening up the archives to bring you a timeless conversation with Australia’s leading show business and celebrity reporter, Peter Ford.
For nearly 40 years, Peter has been a fixture across Australian radio and television, usually at the crack of dawn. But unlike many in the entertainment beat, Peter does things differently. Sharp and pointed without being nasty, he has built a career on fair reporting rather than chasing cheap, salacious gossip. It’s the exact reason the biggest stars in the world still trust him and answer his calls.
What You'll Hear in This Episode:
40 Years on the Beat: Looking back at four decades of covering the entertainment industry and navigating the media landscape.
Integrity in Showbiz: Why turning down trashy tabloid gossip earned Peter the respect of major celebrities.
Leaving Melbourne: Peter breaks the news on his decision to trade Victoria for warmer climates up north.
