Should the right to vote be earned, or is it a fundamental democratic right?

In this episode of R2BW, we explore whether citizens should be required to complete national service before being allowed to vote. We unpack both sides of the debate, examining the potential benefits of civic responsibility, national unity and community contribution, alongside concerns about equality, fairness and democratic representation. We also consider what this debate could mean for Australia.

Is national service a way to strengthen democracy, or should every eligible citizen have an equal voice regardless of their contribution?

How do people fail upwards?

Making mistakes, delivering poor results, or getting things spectacularly wrong, only to get promoted?

In this episode of R2BW, we unpack the baffling reality of people who seem to climb the corporate ladder despite their failures, while others are left picking up the pieces. We explore the politics, privilege, confidence, and workplace double standards that can reward failure rather than competence. Why does accountability seem optional for some, and what does it say about the systems that keep promoting them? Because sometimes, failing upwards isn’t a career accident — it’s a workplace phenomenon.

What if judges had KPIs?

In this episode of the R2BW podcast, we explore a deceptively simple question: should judges be measured against performance targets in the same way we measure people in other professions? Could KPIs improve consistency, efficiency and accountability—or do they risk distorting judicial decision-making and undermining the independence of the judiciary?

We unpack what “performance” could even mean for a judge, who should do the measuring, and whether metrics can ever capture the quality and complexity of judicial work. It’s a conversation about accountability, independence and the difficult question of how we judge the judges.
