With World Asthma Day having taken place earlier this week on Tuesday 7 May, Clayton Bjelan was in conversation with gold medalist Olympic swimmer Libby Trickett who was diagnosed with asthma at age 15.

Libby Trickett has commendably clinched four gold medals for Australia in the past three successive Olympics, lighting up international television screens with her trademark smile and contagious positive outlook.

Australian short track speed skater Steven Bradbury reflected upon his journey on in Conversation with Clayton this morning.

He relived his incredible experience of having won the gold medal at the 2002 Winter Olympics against all odds where his fellow competitors had all fallen ahead of him, clearing the way for him to skate over the finish line. Mr Bradbury admitted that by the Olympics that year, he had more realistic standards and expectations about his own performance.

In light of yesterday’s commemoration of ANZAC Day and an astonishing 45,000 people having attended the Dawn Service at the Shrine of Remembrance, Cam Want, filling in for Clayton Bjelan, spoke to author David W. Cameron about his latest work.

Clayton Bjelan was in discussion with Australian photographer Ken Duncan about his latest project whereby he is working alongside World Vision to release the book ‘Vision of Hope: Mother and Child’.

This is one of the many specialty books the photographer has been involved in over the years and it aims to bring hope to young children for a chance at living a better life.

All proceeds will go towards Vision Of Hope to help prevent slavery from occurring in third world nations.

The book is to be launched on Mother’s Day, Sunday 12 May, and the gallery may be observed at 500 Collins St, Melbourne.
