Life Matters - Full program podcast Folgen

Every five years, our country embarks on the Census, a large information gathering exercise, which asks every household the same questions on one night of the year. The aim is to gather a snapshot of who we are, where we live and what our beliefs and priorities are, to build a picture of our country now, so we can plan for the future. This time around, households can fill in the information ahead of Census Night. Listeners and guests share whether the questions being asked are the right ones for getting to the core of who we are as people and as a nation.

If you have a bit more time for podcast listening at the moment, Life Matters has a show for you — the ABC's 'Days Like These'. In this episode Edwina Storie asks, "What would you do for a sibling? How far do you go out of your way to help them? And what if you're not that close, but you feel that pull of family obligation anyway?". A warning, there is strong language coming up and themes not suitable for young ears.

Many of us will experience a panic attack at some point, so what are some ways to manage your anxiety? Plus, Daniel James on when Queen Elizabeth arrived in Shepparton in regional Victoria and two very different worlds briefly passed each other by. And should you stop swearing at work?
