The Moment with Myf Warhurst

When Anthony arrived in residential care in regional NSW and met his residential care worker Will Mafi, it was meant to be temporary - a place to land until a permanent home was found. But three years later, after other placements were explored, Anthony made a decision that changed everything: he chose to stay with Will, long-term. On this episode of The Moment, DCJ foster carer Will joins Myf Warhurst and Lynne McGranger - Australia’s most famous (fictional!) foster carer on TV - to talk about how a single, gay, proud Tongan foster dad became exactly the person one young man needed in his corner... and why there’s no such thing as a 'right' type of foster carer. Right now, there’s a real shortage of foster carers in New South Wales.

Myf is fresh from hosting the ARIA Hall of Fame, where six artists were finally given their due... and she's thrilled to see women being celebrated at last, with Vika and Linda going to number one the very next day. But the new Kylie Minogue documentary has her thinking hard about how cruelly we've treated our female pop stars, from Kylie to Britney to Amy Winehouse, and why it has to stop. She also gets into the Tyra Banks lawsuit over the America's Next Top Model doco, and pays a moving tribute to the late David Hockney and the love behind his work.Stay Connected:Instagram @myfwarhurstTikTok @myfwarhurstLinkedIn Myf WarhurstGet In TouchBrands/ Partnerships: [email protected] CreditsHost & Executive Producer: Myf WarhurstExecutive Producer: Amelia ChappelowProducer: Roisin YauEngineer & Editing: Grant OffnerVideo Producer: Lauren CooperCopywriter & Strategy: Antonia MinutoloPhotography: Julia NallesArtwork: Brigitte GreeneSales: [email protected]: Dylan Adams [email protected] is a MIK Made production Recorded on Wurundjeri Land Hosted on Acast.
