Philtered: The Podcast

Australian culture has entered a new era with the formal divorce of the Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual (LGB) community from the rest of the Rainbow Alliance. The rather touchy split has been in the pipeline for a decade with the two communities disagreeing on the most basic of realities - biological truth. Cultural change demands of the Trans & Queer segment putting personal identity over biological fa...

This is a 12-minute version of episode 16, Fixing the News (part 2). For people who like their podcasts fast and without the frills, this is for you. However, the message is the same, no one can serve two masters. Australia’s ABC is trying to serve ACON, the master of transgender ideology, while also serving their Charter, a charter that demands objective, impartial NEWS journalism. As Kit Kowalsk...

Matthew 6:24, states “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other.” Most people in the modern world understand this, yet it seems lost on Australia’s ABC. Funded by hard working taxpayers, the ABC Charter insist on the highest standards of news reporting completely free from outside influence. That Charter h...

Is the news Australians read, hear or view always objective, true and complete? In some news outlets, activism has taken over from journalistic integrity to push alternative ideas. Subjective opinion pieces are wrongly labelled as ‘news’, while important yet progressively unpalatable news is overlooked. Should our news stories be written with an ideological slant, or with a focus on reality? Who a...

Australia’s institutional childcare sector is in serious trouble. While expensive and short on places, the sector has been plagued by horrific sexual and physical abuse of children in their care by staff members. Parents are furious and the reworking of childcare arrangements has already begun for many. Could the voices of parents, together with some common sense, turn the sector around? (00:06) I...

Women’s and girl’s sport in Australia is at the crossroads. Males identifying as female can now compete against women in most ‘community’ level sports. This is seeing women and girls leaving the sport they love due to safety and fairness. They’re also missing grade advancement and podium finishes. Yet parents, players, fans and coaches have had enough. Unfair play, helped by government funded LGBT...

In the previous episode, we mainly looked at the early years of childhood. In part two we look at the teenage years with former School Principal / behaviour expert Mark Smith and Child Psychologist Clare Rowe. Both examine the importance of being in a positive group. However, some groups are not so positive and can cause lifelong damage. Something to think about for parents, grandparents, teachers...

Being a child is no longer what it was. Childhood anxiety, and the accompanying psychological analysis has left thousands of children with a lifelong label and an even more harmful dependence on pharmaceuticals. In this look at childhood anxiety in the early years, I speak to Clare Rowe, an outspoken child psychologist about the causes and outcomes of childhood anxiety. Part 1 of 2. (00:08) Phil D...

Australians head to the polling booths very soon. While the media say the election is all about cost of living, energy and housing, it’s about much more than that. Get full access to Philtered at phildye.substack.com/subscribe

The 2025 Federal Election in Australia follows the most divisive period in our history since the Iraq War. While the two major parties focus on the economy, climate and energy, the enormous social issues that concern the electorate are being ignored. Unrestrained immigration, increased youth crime, the assault on freedom of speech, gender ideology madness and the rising cost of living have changed...

In 2024, Australia’s Federal Government allocated $7million to the country’s largest LGBTQA lobby group - ACON, to create a Cervical Cancer Screening campaign for women. The campaign did not go to tender with the final outcome being a campaign aimed at “Women and people with a cervix”. Biological fact tells us that only women have a cervix. Is the campaign misinformation, disinformation or just go...

This episode uses three business examples from Australia to illustrate the major players, the chain of influence, and the profit. For extra visuals, charts etc, there is a YouTube link in the notes below. Musical snippets from ‘Sugar...

The transgender money trail, and to a lesser extent the financial beneficiaries of the entire rainbow lifestyle, have been the topic of conspiracy theories for years. Only a few have dug deeply enough for a conclusive and relatable chain of influence and profit. This episode uses three business examples from Australian society to illustrate the major players, the chain of influence, and the profit...

10-minute version. This Philtered Mini is a condensed version of Episode 2, The Truth about Puberty Blockers. It comes as the recent polling of attitudes to gender ideology finds Australians overwhelmingly reject puberty blockers for children, gender education in schools and preferred pronouns. Politicians who stand with Australians in their opposition to this ideology will gain immense support. (...

The cult of trans ideology has infected every aspect of society, yet the media - the ones we trusted for truthful information, have succumbed the most. How did the once honourable profession of journalism become so corrupt? The truth isn’t pretty. Included is: (01:30) Link to Youtube video entitled Ideology, Truth and the ABC. (08:40) Voice of spokesperson for the World Economic Forum ‘ Power of M...

Self ID, where anyone can identify as the other sex, is being proposed in the Australian States of Queensland and Victoria. Labelled as ‘progressive’ in these Labor states, the legislative outcome is being watched around the world. Will Australia become a leader in the denial of women’s rights in favor of a micro-minority of trans-extremists? I ask women’s advocates from both states what can be do...

Trans-extremism and it’s toxic medical sidekick of the gender affirming economy are cults that have infiltrated politics, education, medicine and the media. What will the world be like if transgender ideology maintains its current momentum? I ask past Professor of Psychology, psychotherapist and author Dianna Kenny what could be in store. (00:00) Host Introduction (09:11) Interview with past Profe...

Once a valid concept, diversity has been hijacked by those wanting to implant ultra-progressive ideologies into western society. Merit no longer matters. What you identify as does. In this episode I interview Colleen Harkin , the National Manager of Class Action Programs and Research Fellow for the Institute of Public Affairs. If your company or organisation is suffering because staff are being em...
