Who gives away their baby to a man who's name they can't get remember. Who gives away their baby and doesn't know their address or family history. Her story is nonsense, the guy that recognised her from a blurry photo is not a viable witness. Past facts prove she has little or no regard for her offspring whatsoever, she's a psychopath and shoukd remain in prison.
This is so interesting. I could be very manipulative as a teenager but stopped at about 17. It was always about getting out of trouble or getting permission to go where I wanted or just sneaking out.

How did it come out that she had the babies was she reported or is it a belief of her imagination did she get medically examined it doesn’t make sense 12:37
I believe it was her 4th pregnancy that she arranged to be adopted, she was asked about previous pregnancies. I think an investigation started when they couldn't find Tegan. Her first pregnancy she had adopted and that was verified.
She is so strong. And i can relate in a very light way compared to Jeni Haynes. What an amazing mind and what an great person se seams to be. Despite what she has gone through she is very energetic and full of life. I hope her the best and i hope she does all she wants to do and has an fantastic life in front of her. All my respect to Jeni Haynes
I think, Kelly did an unlegal adoption. This action is a quick, fast, and anonymous action. Maybee, she had given money for it? And i think, this is why she is lying all time! Because of the shame for her and her family. And because this would mean for her, that she is a part of a child trafficing. I am sorry for her. Because the family dynamic must be very cold and unsozial, if the parents know non of this and the other problems of her live!!
@29 minutes discussion, it is deplorable that Pamela Anderson shamed women and victim blamed women for instigating violence, and men have no control over their urges.. Would this be in the next podcast?
I'm not actually very surprised that none of them speak to Sophie Monk anymore. She always stood out, both in looks and in talent. She was recognized for her stand out energy and that's why she was the first to become successful all on her own. I'm sure there was a lot resentment and jealousy from the other girls which it seems still exists to this day. Sophie is actually super lovely, and probably dealt with a lot of mean girl energy.
When I was at uni an employer gave me a book, a collection of her essays. I remember that she stated that delinquents are such a way because they are ugly, so they would benefit more from cosmetic surgery than prison... She claims that law is informed by misogyny, but the reality is that nature is a misogynist. Nature is a homophobe. Nature is transphobic. Nature is short-male-stature- phobic. There are power relations that seem to be predetermined. Patriarchy used to protect women better in some ways because women were all assumed to be mothers or future mothers. Men have a mother and they generally want children, so they had a vested interest. Barren individuals like gays or non maternal women are now tolerated, but in the future I wonder how long it is before demographic shift causes intolerance and those advocating for the right to be barren is wiped out... It is just a basic mathematical certainty that those who are now procreating faster are going to take over. They do not even have to have superior numbers, as soon as they gain access to the halls of power and get a monopoly on violence, the conquest is over. If you have people claiming that young gays should be transitioned, because of their gender noncomformity (and that is what happens in Iran) then you know that Islam is already at the gates of Western liberalism.
I like Germaine, but like LGB elders a lot of her ideas seem antiquated to younger people because they were reactionary to a lost world. I think the interviewer might want Germaine to aggrandize her as a female with perpetual egoic entitlement, but she does not get it. That is the megalomaniac BLM mentality.
Wow, the mother said some horrible things in this interview. “They see in animation” - never heard an autistic person say that Modifying and toning down his autistic behaviors? We didn’t want his sibling to see him as a burden-excuse me, what? “I wasn’t prepared to accept what I had”- how could you say about your son in front of him? How could you even think it? You can see the impact this has had on Michael’s own view on other neurodivergent people. I’m so glad it doesn’t seem to have impacted his self-worth negatively.
Umm meanwhile that foster mother whom you're painting as innocent got convicted of child abuse to another foster child in her care. As a foster parent you are not to use physical or psychological harm or force period. There's no excuse. She's guilty of child abuse once she'd be statistically guilty of it again. You'll find in the years to come they won't find a body but the state will indeed charge her for his murder and disappearance. Deception detective did a good video analysing her 000 call and her statements. She is guilty as sin. The poor biological mother wanted william back and now she'll forever be childless because of this witch. Research your facts before you sympathise with a convicted child abuser. Disgusting.
Wow this gave me such inspiration! Jenny is truly a remarkable soul! She explains things so perfectly. Thank you for sharing this podcast and thank you Jenny and friends for sharing your world with ours.
Olivia mentioned the actress, Jill, who passed away from breast cancer around 1990. I believe it was Jill Ireland, wife of Charles Bronson. And I think actress Ann Jillian was going through it as well around the same time. Rest in peace Olivia. 🕊️ I know you’ll always have a place in my heart. ♥️
Think about it , not ONE of them wanted that child even the boyfriend laughed "was it mine ?" HE might be involved ! IF she did hand that child over then I wouldn't give the poor unwanted baby back either to that crazy lot even if I found out I wasn't the father ! The so called grandparents wrecked and weird beyond belief .
So we're the hospital cameras never checked ? Were all the car registrations in and out of the car park not traced back to the owners ? Were there no cameras in the lift ? Were her clothes not taken for DNA checked ? She is a narcissist clear and simple , the expert got it wrong big time
Thats absolutely and completely wrong HE DID NOT SUICIDE have you not listened to his family and his partner Paula Yates - you are spreading these wrong rumours that he would suicide... many very famous people on that level mysteriously die..and the media tells so many lies around the reasons...do some deep thinking and research
It's been over a year since this was uploaded, and thee has been 1,285 views at the time of writing. I imagine Mia is a very busy person so I need to ask, you the reader; if you've been formally diagnosed with adhd (as a mature aged adult eg 45+), and you're taking medication, has it helped, and if so, in what way?
Great podcast. I remember listening to Hamish & Andy on the _almost Tuesday show_ 25 years ago. I was so impressed with thier rapport and content, I emailed the network and asked the producers why they weren't on at a more reasonable hour (if memory serves me correctly, they were on 11pm to 12am). I also remember sending them an email informing them of the wonderful job they were doing and the laughter they gave me. To my surprise, they replied! It was one of the first emails I'd ever sent to anyone famous. Unless hotmail auto-deleted it, I should still have it. And you're right Mia, it's hard to imagine anyone not falling in love with Hamish, but for whatever reason, not everyone likes coffee. Thanks for the upload. Really enjoyed it.
Fascinating. Enjoyed the topic, Dan's frankness, Mia's childlike curiosity, and I think I might be his book. Sounds like a great read. Thanks for the upload.
If baby Tegan, was given away to a man, without knowing that he was definitely the true Father! If what she said is true, she is still responsible for giving her baby away and not checking that she was ok and being taken care of. She had no concern for her helpless child, who just needed love and care, instead she got Keli!
If I had a dollar for everytime I read "Australia's #1 podcast" in channel descriptions, I'd have about 15 bucks. How is it decided? Who decides it? Is it judged daily, weekly, monthly? I have no real interest in listening to the podcast, I just wanted to highlight the often blatant lies and sensationalised titles. Gutter *cough* "journalism" at its finest.
Sounds like two really close friends who just happen to be the opposite sex..... and decided marry. I'm pretty sure that adultery isn't part of traditional wedding vows. I'm assuming they got married in a traditional church with a traditional celebrant under traditional laws, yet, live an unconventional lifestyle. I snapped my neck upon hearing his mate ask him: _so you can go upto any girl and have sex with her?_ to which he replied: _no_ . I'm pretty sure polygamy says _yes_ . I was bemused hearing and empathetic _NO_ Then there was Kate making out as is sex was a sacred thing, something not to be given away lightly. I dunno about everyone else, but I always thought sex was fun and not to be taken as a life long commitment because you shared an intimate naked moment in time.
Like you Mia, I reckon Andrew is one of the best interviewers, not only in Australia, but the world. He is so disarming, believable, sincere as well as the usual, witty, funny, charming, and articulate. Sadly though, I found this interview (something I was really looking forward to), rather superficial. It's was mostly directed towards his interview style and the same old questions, just worded differently eg best interview, worst interview, most interesting.... We didn't really get to know the person, life as a dad, his childhood heros/dreams, his passions, upbringing, thoughts on subjects he is passionate about, shortcomings... The "interview " came across as a chat-between-friends. I suppose you were star struck, in awe of a legend.
Please know how grateful I am for your coming forward/ out/open and for your hootspa and success❤❤🎉I gotta say this is a breath of fresh air for me. I finally feel like someone understands me and some of what I went through . I mean it’s like she’s a spokes person for my ‘being’/myself. Perfect timing in my life. My whole life has been consumed with survival, safety, understanding, processing and blending and forgiveness and a constant blue moon questioning like a haunt if I should do anything about even part of the abuse even in a ‘final’ way since I’m in the second half of my life anyways. I am only now safe enough to really have begun ‘living’ on the heels of coming to terms with the abuse from most of my family a pedophile ring and my narcissistic abusive ex. I am 55 years old now and only had to endure 5 first years of severe abuse at the hands of many which I can’t be fully disclosing about because I’d most likely be killed pretty quickly if my abusers knew I remembered and not crazy or suppressed as their multiple torture tactics’ aim was meant. Plus, the blessed doctor that was meant to lobotomize me honoured my terror filled pleas and he blessedly faked it risking his own life in the process. Jeni you’re somehow helping me in opening my pandoras’ box with me partially inside still. I’m aware just like you that there are many things my self will not be allowed to remember and for my own good however a part of me will always and retain it if in the future if it is necessary to warn or work with me to deal with or avoid. Love to you girl--we are survivors and pivotal beings of huge conscious evolution. I intend to remain positive about my stay here until my death which is a daily working process & work in progress. I aim to experience the joys and freedoms others took for granted in childhood and am enjoying the bettermeant of my experience here and more and more joy and intensity of good feeling emotion, safety, support and satisfaction. True freedom and fun. After all it is our lives☔️🌈😇🌹 ‘and the seed with the sun’s warmth in the spring becomes a rose’ 🌹 I wish you all the best in your journey and hope you have a joyful fun heart-warming rest of your life Jeni and everyone who has experienced horrific relations of abuse and torture 🌹
I have a caregiver client with DID. It is interesting at first, but the changes in personality just become and appear as mood changes. Today he have a fat face and lips and I can't understand everything he says. When he is a women, he stays in his room. But his girl clothing end up in the wash.
People should remember that Prof Greer is not a psychiatrist, a psychologist, therapist sociologist or anything remotely like it. She's an English Literature academic, and that's all. Like many an intellectual, Greer assumes her unrepresentative personal feelings are somehow highly significant. Everyone is different. Every rape is different. What Germaine Greer can throw off easily, can just as easily destroy another rape victim. Here Greer is being emotionally illiterate.
