Brisbane Line

Howdy info seekers! Thanks for listening on this fine Thursday edition of Brisbane Line. Here's a run-down of the stories we ran.

Story #1 - UNICEF and Churches Council in Papua New Guinea partnering to reduce Children's violence

Papua New Guinea is facing a challenging time with low vaccination rates, malnourishment, and high rates of family violence. It’s estimated four in five children experience violence at home, and half of children suffer from malnutrition.

UNICEF in Papua New Guinea has signed an agreement with the Papua New Guinea Council of Churches to mobilise churches to the front lines of change. In a country where 96% of the population identify as Christian, the churches will become critical to reduce violence and increase children’s health and welfare.

4ZZZ Contributor, Eduardo Jordan started asking UNICEF’s Representative in Papua New Guinea Veera Mendonca how critical is the situation in Papua New Guinea.

Brisbane Line Discussion - All things Procrastination

I’ll do it tomorrow! It can wait later… it’ll be alright! Most people would have encountered this feeling at some point in their lives. Some, even more than others. Well that's Procrastination… and it is a behaviour which is the act of delaying something.

Why do we do it and has it become more common?

To understand more on procrastination as well as ways of overcoming this behaviour, 4ZZZ's Toni Pankaluic spoke to Dr Catherine Houlihan, Senior Lecturer in Clinical Psychology at the University of the Sunshine Coast.
