Strata management—it's one of those areas in property where things can get tricky if you're not in the know. In this episode, we're joined by Michael Teys, who's been in the trenches of strata for years, tackling some of the biggest issues that come up in this space. If you're involved in a strata scheme—whether as an owner, investor, or part of a committee—this is a conversation you just can't afford to miss. Today, we dive into the real problems that strata communities face every day. From dealing with disputes that can turn neighbors into enemies to sorting out financial messes that can sink a scheme, he's got the inside scoop on what works and what doesn't. We also chat about the legal side of things—what's changing, what's staying the same, and how it all impacts you. But it's not all doom and gloom. We also talk about how to keep the peace in a strata setup and why being proactive can save you a world of headaches. And as for the future? We touch on where strata management is heading and what that means for everyone involved. This is your chance to get a handle on the biggest issues in strata management today, straight from someone who's seen it all. So, grab a coffee, settle in, and get ready to learn from one of the best in the business. Let's get started! Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Introduction 01:03 - Who is Michael Teys? 02:22 - What did the ABC Four Corners exposé reveal about controversial strata practices? 10:23 - How strata managers started charging like real estate agents, and how they can regain trust 16:50 - Are strata companies or owners to blame for management issues? 21:36 - What are the challenges in keeping good strata professionals? 30:11 - What are the obstacles to reforming strata management? 36:06 - Does unpaid service affect local government and strata roles? 40:01 - Are builders learning from past strata mistakes? Will quality improve? 44:17 - Given the current leadership vacuum, where might we see effective leadership emerge? 50:27 - Michael shares a lesson/humorous story in property that we can all learn from About Our Guest: Michael Teys is one of Australia's leading strata experts.

Among several exciting appointments from this week was the appointment of Amanda Bardwell as CEO of Woolworths, following the current CEO Brad Banducci's disastrous interview on ABC Four Corners. But it's a tale as old as time: a man makes a mess, and a woman cleans it up. Why do they keep handing us the mop?This week, we discuss the horrific term used to describe Kelly Wilkinson in the days before her murder, courageous research from Jean Hailes on women's health, and so much more.Stories discussed this week:Jo Yapp becomes first full-time coach of the WallaroosMinderoo Foundation appoints new Gender Equality Executive DirectorWoolworths CEO Brad Banducci retires, will be replaced by Amanda BardwellKelly Wilkinson told police she was in danger.

The whole Australian media world is discussing the CEO of Woolworths performance on ABC Four Corners on Monday. It was the classic media training video that will be used for years on what not to do. Everyone has had their say on the topic but Carmen and Nic thought we might break it down a little differently. The real issue with a story like this might send other CEOs and leaders of industry back into the bunker. The reality with this performance and the announcement of the retirement of the CEO is a little too much to take in one week for the media. The connection between the interview on Monday and the plans to leave in September is just too close to see how it can be any other way. It is just not a good look either way from Australia's biggest retail supermarket and employer. Nic and Carmen walk through the good and the bad of the interview. What CEOs and leaders can learn from the experience and where they might take confidence that they will not be thrusted into the spotlight for a seriously silly and avoidable mistake. Messaging, good advisors, preparation, practice, and a little bit of humility and empathy is going to go far in scenarios like this. Do not let this incident put you off from engaging media. Instead use this as an opportunity to advance yourself, your people and those in the communications of the brand to get some media training. Work on this as it is not natural to have a microphone and camera thrusted in front of you, but it can be managed.

COVID-19 has left a huge toll on us all, and taken the lives of more than 7,000 Australians. But there are some companies that have simply thrived because of it, particularly those charged by the federal government with providing goods and services like masks and other protective equipment.

We welcome Murdoch University mathematician Prof Gerd Schröder-Turk, a specialist in nano-geometry and member of the university's board of directors, the Murdoch University Senate. In 2019, Gerd appeared as a key interviewee on the ABC Four Corners investigation "Cash Cows", speaking out about his university's over-reliance on international students. The university's ensuing attempt to remove him from Senate landed them in the Federal Court. We'll be asking Gerd who really runs Australia's universities: their Senates or their Vice Chancellors? How are university Senates even appointed in the first place, and how should they be? Is there any effective government oversight? How much say should ordinary academics have in deciding how universities should be governed? And we can't resist asking him a question or two about the nano-geometry of advanced materials.

It was 2018 when Saxon Mullins, now 23, came out and said the four words: “I am that girl.” People had heard what had happened to a young woman in a laneway behind the Soho nightclub in Sydney’s King’s Cross.  They heard what a man, Luke Lazarus, son of the nightclub owner, said to her.  The public was also aware of what happened next.  But it took five years for Saxon to say those words, “I am that girl”, and she said them to ABC journalist Louise Milligan.  Saxon did what she was meant to do. She reported alleged assault. She turned up to court. She sat in the witness box and she told her story.  But, Louise Milligan asks, at what cost? Louise Milligan is an investigative journalist, a reporter for the ABC’s Four Corners program, and Walkley Award winning author. Her most recent book is Witness: An investigation into the brutal cost of seeking justice in which she explores Australia's legal system and how it treats witnesses.  She gives us a glimpse into a world so many of us will never see, and explores the stories of various witnesses, including Saxon Mullins and Paris Street.  CREDITS Guest: Louise Milligan, Reporter for ABC Four Corners and author, Witness: An investigation into the brutal cost of seeking justice  Host: Jessie Stephens Audio Producer: Ian Camilleri  Executive Producer: Zoe Ferguson CONTACT US Tell us what you think of the show via email at truecrime@mamamia.com.au   Join our closed Facebook community to discuss this episode.

On 7 April 2014, Lowy Institute's Blog Editor Sam Roggeveen joined former ABC Four Corners reporter Andrew Fowler, Indonesia expert Dr Greta Nabbs-Keller, and risk evaluation specialist Allan Behm to discuss Snowden, WikiLeaks, and the future of espionage.

This Walkley Media Talk celebrated the diversity of story-telling and the many new platforms indigenous journalists and storytellers now have space on to tell their stories. The discussion examined the rise of indigenous media into the mainstream and new innovations in storytelling and the implications for coverage of indigenous affairs in Australia. It also examined the challenges and importance of meaningful collaboration and the experience of non-indigenous journalists in covering Aboriginal issues. This panel was moderated by Karla Grant (@karlagrant28), of SBS Living Black. Malarndirri McCarthy (@malarndirri) is a senior journalist/presenter for SBS/NITV News.

After the 2008 election, Malarndirri was promoted to the Ministry, where she served as Minister for Children and Families, Indigenous & Regional Development, Tourism , Statehood, Women's Policy, Senior Territorians, Young Territorians and the Minister Assisting the Chief Minister on Multicultural Affairs until August 2012.
