Chapter 1: Who is Patrick Brammall and what are his notable works?
For too long, Australian law didn't just fail survivors. It forced them into silence. Nina Fennell is a Walkley Award-winning journalist and a survivor who helped overturn damaging gag laws in the Australian justice system. She was the driving force behind the campaign that allowed women to finally speak their own names. Her work doesn't just tell stories, it drives change.
Hi, I'm Gemma Bath, host of True Crime Conversations. And this very special two-part episode isn't just about the justice system. It's about what happens when women are finally heard. A raw, honest look at the power of a single voice, how silence is shaped and how women push through it. Hear my conversation with Nina Fennell on True Crime Conversations.

I wish I didn't get so close to tears, but what are you going to do? It's no filter. There's no fucking filter. It's true what they say.
Chapter 2: Why did Patrick Brammall initially turn down The Devil Wears Prada 2?
Patrick Bramall is one of those actors Australians feel like they know. For more than two decades, he's been a familiar presence on our screens, building a career that's been steady, respected and quietly impressive. But in the last few years, something has shifted.
Alongside his wife, actor and writer Harriet Dyer, he co-created and starred in Colin from Accounts, a show that started as a very specific, very Australian story and quickly became a global hit. Offscreen, their lives are just as intertwined. They write together, act together and are raising a young family. Patrick Bramall is on the cusp of something bigger again.
He's just been introduced to a global audience in a very different way, starring as the new love interest opposite Anne Hathaway in the highly anticipated sequel to The Devil Wears Prada, a film with a legacy, a fan base and a cultural footprint that's hard to overstate.
This conversation was recorded the day before the film was released, before the reviews, before the reaction, before the moment where everything potentially changes. So today, we wanted to understand who Patrick Bramall really is, the road that got him here, the life he's built along the way, and what it feels like to be standing on the edge of something that could change everything.
Who are you? Great question. And let me answer that question with another question. Who are you?
I'm Kate Langbrook from No Filter.

Chapter 3: How did Patrick's childhood health challenges shape his career?
Oh, shit. Same. Okay, you've checked, mate. You've called my bluff here.
Well, I have.
I'm Patrick Bramwell, but I'm also from No Filter.
You are from No Filter. And not only that, you're now from the world.
I am from the world as well.
You were always from the world.
Yeah, I was always very much from the world.
But there's something about Australians, and I think when you work in a creative endeavour on any front, that we know that we are, depending on your world view, at the bottom of the globe. Yeah. Yep. And now you are not on the bottom of the globe.

Chapter 4: What impact has fatherhood had on Patrick Brammall's perspective on success?
No, I'm creeping up the side of the globe.
You really are.
You don't realise how bottom of the globe you are until we travel. And all Australians need to travel. We do. Well, we do. It's a compulsion. You have to because the rest of the world's out there. I mean, I grew up in Canberra, right? And I grew up, this is my way of analogy, I grew up thinking it's the nation's capital. This is it. Busy, busy city. This is where it's happening.
And it is the nation's capital.
Well, it is.

Chapter 5: What was it like for Patrick to join a franchise like The Devil Wears Prada?
Not many people know that, but it is.
No, no.
And then I moved to Sydney when I was, what, 21, like proper. And I went, oh, okay. There's actually an organic logic to the city. Like it starts at the harbour and it spreads out. And things make sense on a different ā and I was like, and obviously it's a lot busier. And that's how I felt about going out.
into Europe, into America, you know, and just going, oh, things are actually happening here. And let me add a wrinkle to that. I'm really pleased we're down here. It is such a joy for me. Like, how have I been based in LA for some years? And it's just such a joy to know that we can come back at any moment. Obviously, because of the States lately, it's just like a dumpster fire in many respects.
Chapter 6: How did Patrick and Harriet Dyer collaborate on their creative projects?
And it's like, a lot of American friends are like, thank God you've got an escape hatch, you know?
Yes.
And I, and also don't get me wrong, I do love it over there. We've got this place in LA and we're very, very happy. We love that hood.
Yeah.
And the American people that we know.
Where are you in LA? Gorgeous. Los Feliz?
Like near Los Feliz. Yeah, right. Silver Lake. No, not Silver Lake, Atwater. Yeah, okay.

Chapter 7: What were the challenges of filming The Devil Wears Prada 2 for Patrick?
So it's lovely. And it's kind of the least LA place. It's really nice. Yeah, people walk around. Like for some reason, Australians, when we go to LA, we all go to West Hollywood. I have no idea why. It's mental there. And I lived there for like a year or so.
I always stay in West Hollywood. Yeah, why? What is it? It's the yogurt shops.
It's the yogurt, yoga.
Yeah, right.
All the yo things.

Chapter 8: What insights does Patrick have about balancing family and career?
Yeah. And it's, yeah, it's really frenetic there. And then I lived there for like a year or so and then I moved out. I was like, what the hell was I doing in West fucking Hollywood?
Why did you move? So you got together with Harry. Yeah. Harriet Dyer.
Harriet Dyer.
So we have to say genius. Oh, my God. Genius move on your part.
Yes.
I don't understand it from her end.
No one understands it from her end. No one. Yeah, well... Yeah, we got it together.
