McGraw, 72, first became known after appearing as a guest speaker on Oprah Winfrey’s talkshow in the 1990s and was soon famous for his folksy, straight-shooting advice. Dr Phil was initially produced by Winfrey’s Harpo Productions.
The show’s use of psychology as entertainment was often controversial, with some criticising its treatment of mentally ill and vulnerable guests. In 2004, when McGraw likened a nine-year-old boy to a serial killer, the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill wrote to CBS saying “Dr. Phil’s conduct is serious enough to warrant investigation by a relevant board of licensure.” A spokesperson for McGraw said the letter was “based on lack of information and inaccurate, inappropriate assumptions”.

Deutsche Bank predicts four more interest rate risesDeutsche Bank Australia is predicting the Reserve Bank will raise interest rates four more times between now and August. The bank's Chief Economist Phil O'Donaghoe is forecasting a quarter of a per cent rate rises in February, March, May and August, which would take the official cash rate to 4.1 per cent. He is also predicting the unemployment rate to rise from 3.5 to 4.5 per cent by this time next year, which would see 100,000 workers out of a job. Sky News needs more Rowan Dean on weeknights.

Australia-France ties strengthen as US navy suspends submarine repairs amid quake concernsIn a major shift in diplomatic relations the Defence and Foreign Ministers of Australia and France have met in Paris for talks overnight. The meeting marks a significant change in the relationship between the two countries, which had previously been strained. There are fresh concerns over the delivery timeline of our nuclear-powered submarines after the US Navy suspended submarine repair work at four of its west coast docks to prevent the impacts of future earthquakes. In the meantime, Defence Minister Richard Marles confirmed Australia would not purchase conventionally powered submarines from France. 'ho ho now you have no submarines' If 🇫🇷 is prepared to sell fair dinkum nuclear powered subs to 🇦🇺 then negotiations can be resurrected. Of course I'm all for Swords into Plowshares🕊️, but assets for Defence are different than Offensive weapons⚠️ Auspol AlboMP RichardMarlesMP Elysee
