  • Courtney Paige Anderson
    Nov 6 2025

    She was loving her life, building a career in the mining industry, spending time with her family and friends, planning getaways and haircuts. Most importantly, she looked forward to a life free of violence. Then, on a dark lonely highway, she was killed. Her name is Courtney Paige Anderson. She was only 28. The police failed to investigate properly, so her family have become the detectives - doing everything they can to work out how and why she died. Today, her mum Lee-Ann, dad Don and stepmum Kristy walk us through the battle to get Justice for Courtney. This episode discusses suicide, substance abuse, mental health and domestic violence and contains a graphic description of death. This is Courney's story. Facebook

    Women in Australia retire with 23% less super than men — a real super gender gap. Our financial lives can be complex, and many of us don’t know who to turn to for support in a system not built with us in mind. That’s why Verve created a community for women, men and non-binary people who believe in closing the super gap.

    Women in Australia retire with an average 23% less retirement savings than men. That’s a real super gender gap. Our financial lives can be quite complex, however many of us don’t know who to turn to for support in a financial services industry that wasn’t built with us in mind. That’s why we created Verve a community for women, men & non-binary folk who believe in our mission of closing the super gap.

  • Courtney Herron
    Oct 16 2025

    At the intersection of Johnston and Gore in Collingwood, the face of a young smiling woman beams across passers-by. Say her name to any Melbournian and they'll tell you what they were doing when they heard the news about her murder. Her name is Courtney Herron. She was only 25.


    Today, Courtney's mum Maxxi and baby sister Sian speak publicly for the first time about their person. There's is not an easy story to tell - they will be discussing physical and sexual violence as well as drug use and suicidal ideation.

  • Kelly Williams (Duffy)
    Oct 9 2025

    A man heard the violence behind the wall. He did not help her. Her sister found the single mum days later. The smell of her favourite human decaying forever lingers in her memory. Her murder warranted no more than three lines in one newspaper. Her killer still walks among us.


    Her name is Kelly Williams (Duffy). She was only 31. You've never heard of her but it's not for want of trying. Kelly's sister Paula has spent the past 23 years trying to get journalists to tell her story.


    Today she gets that wish.
