Property investors are celebrating new methamphetamine contamination laws coming in next year. Properties with meth residue exceeding 15 micrograms per 100-square centimetres will be considered contaminated, requiring treatment. Landlords and tenants will be able to quickly end tenancies with excessive levels. Property Investors Federation Advocacy Manager Matt Ball told Ryan Bridge the new standards will reduce costs for some landlords. He says the threshold for decontamination, which can cost a considerable amount, were conflicting under the previous guidelines, resulting in some spending money that they shouldn't have needed to.

Headlines: This week, Slovenia imposed sanctions on Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the first EU state to do so. The Slovenian government  cited the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) in November 2024, on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity allegedly committed in Gaza since October 2023and the July 2024 advisory opinion by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) affirming the illegality of Israel's occupation and the obligations of third states not to recognise it.Israel Strike of the West Asian region including strikes on Yemen as well as a quick report of the most recent UN meeting of the general assembly. From the desk of Prof. Mazin Qumsiyeh who can follow here:The most shocking thing at the UN is not what you expect. Netanyahu'sspeech was largely boycotted by most delegates who walked out. He said whatyou expect him to say: doubling down on his rhetoric and threatening thewhole world (at one point saying to watch what he does when he returns to"Israel" in response to the recognition of a state of Palestine).  DonaldTrump spoke, rambling boisterous, dismissive of the world, self centered,and lying as usual. He said to his stunned silent audience: "I am reallygood at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell... It is true I havebeen right about everything."  But this was all expected. Also expectedthat other western countries, knowing a western-suppored genocide is goingon, try to wiggle out of it by declaring support for a Palestinian statewithout Palestinian rights. For example France and England want the stateto lie about history in school textbooks, to deny indigenous people rights(especially right of return), and most importantly to delegitimizeresistance to colonialism. Mahmoud Abbas whose term expired 15 years agogave a UN speech by video after being denied a visa by the US. Instead ofrallying against the US/Israeli dictats, he tried to reassure them that hewill disarm the resistance etc. In short they all want to support apartheidbut differ on best way forward! The recognition of the "state of Palestine"is conditional on acceptance of a racist apartheid genocidal regime in thesame was as recognition in apartheid South Africa of the fake Zululandbantustan! But the situation here is far worse than apartheid in SouthAfrica. There it was settler colonialism and here it is DISPLACEMNT andETHNIC CLEANSING and GENOCIDE in a scale not seen in the past 100 years.8.5 million Palestinians are refugees or displaced people. Hardly anyonemaking speeches at the UN mentioned this or came close to making the rightdiagnosis of what ails us.  But there were notable exceptions such asVenezuela (hence Trump is bombing it). The reality is that the mostshocking thing at the UN theater of the absurd is the discord betweentalking about Israel being isolated while taking no practical steps to stopthis genocidal regime which still exterminating civilians, attacking shipsin International waters, bombing nearby countries, torturing politicalprisoners, and starving our people. No UN speech saves a single child. Whatis needed is boycotts, divestments and sanctions (bdsmovement.net).Report about the Italian general strike and the applicable lessons to the Australian concept and what can be done about mobilising community groups towards collective and autonomous action. Francesca Albanese speech from Together for Palestine. Voices 4 Palestine II here Comrade Viviene Langford brings us another report from the Sydney rallies, this week we hear from Angus Macflane of the ASU about a union response and responsibility. Menzies 4 Palestine Interview II hereStratos from the community group Menzies for Palestine drops in for a quick chat on community organzing They are having a rally at Eltham Town Square on Arthur Street on the Saturday 4th of October. Speakers will include:Jizelle Hanna - CPSU Victorian SecretarySamanthi Gunawardna Stephen Clandinnen - Nillumbik 4 PalestineSong - DRMNGNOW - Pray NT Report II hereThe last two weeks have seen reports of an NT man that plead guilty to a fatal hit and run that saw the death of one First Nations man and the severe injury of another.

In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Paige Yontz, Advocacy Manager in Iowa, to explore an innovative housing reform that's reshaping how families care for aging parents, empower young professionals, and protect property rights. Paige was instrumental in leading a diverse coalition—from aging advocates to housing manufacturers and policy champions—that secured the passage of a groundbreaking Iowa law legalizing accessory dwelling units (ADUs) statewide. They discuss how ADUs provide practical, cost-effective options for families who want loved ones close while maintaining independence, and how a coalition with seemingly unlikely allies—advocates for aging, property rights, and housing innovation—came together to get it done. From city zoning challenges to bipartisan strategy and coalition storytelling, this episode is a behind-the-scenes look at how smart, personal, and local policy changes can open doors to more freedom and opportunity. If you've ever struggled with housing costs, aging parents, or restrictive local ordinances, this episode will give you hope—and a blueprint.

Times are tough for property owners as they see the lowest resale profits in over a decade. Cotality's latest Pain & Gain Report shows 89.4% of homes sold above their purchase price last quarter – the lowest since 2014. Christchurch was the most resilient of the main centres, with 4.9% of Q2 resales made at a loss, well below the national average of 10.6%, while Auckland recorded the highest proportion of loss-making sales at 15.9%. NZ Property Investors Federation's Matt Ball told Ryan Bridge this is only a problem for those who are being forced to sell. For property investors, he says, unless you bought at the peak and have to sell for some reason, this is just another cycle to ride out.

Difficult conversations should take place in all regions of a diverse state like Texas, especially after 30-plus years of one party rule. Beyond placing blame on rural regions or certain sects of historically Democratic voters, we should first take a deep look inwards and be ready to listen to those different from ourselves. Last month, over a hundred Democratic county party chairs, rural organizers, and freshly announced candidates held a conference in Bastrop, Texas. The 134 PAC invited both Progress Texas Podcasting Director Chris Mosser and Advocacy Manager and former small-town City Councilor Reagan Stone to take part - an honor and lots of fun. For the closing panel of the event, Reagan joined San Angelo attorney and Co-Founder of the 134 PAC Jon Mark Hogg, and seasoned rural political consultant and proud Missouri farmer Will Westmoreland to start the hunt for answering questions on turning Texas blue. Moderated by University of Houston at Victoria Political Science Professor Woodrow Wilson Wagner, this episode is an off-prompt attempt at defining why our conservative neighbors don't always vote for what may serve their best interests, and how progressive Texans might go about starting difficult, but very important, conversational exchanges with their more conservative counterparts.Learn more about the 134 PAC at https://www.the134pac.org/.Thanks for listening!

The National Civics Bee is an annual competition that is led by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington, D.C. that provides an opportunity for middle school students to showcase their civic knowledge and become more engaged in their communities. The civic bee is very important to the Pennsylvania Chamber according to Elizabeth Bolden, Executive Director, of the PA Chamber Foundation. A survey in 2022 showed that less than half of Americans could name all three branches of government. Another survey in 2023 by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce found that only 25 percent of Americans were confident that they could explain how our government worked to other people. “It makes for a more effective and efficient government, which makes for a better place for businesses to operate and grow and entrepreneurs to come to the Commonwealth. We know that stability is important for businesses. And so, as the civics fee increases, civic engagement, just not among middle schoolers, but among their family members, we're building a stronger commonwealth where we can have a more competitive economy and businesses can flourish and grow, “said Bolden. The PA Chamber Foundation, Lancaster Chamber of Commerce, and Harrisburg Regional Chamber & CREDC are working to get participation from middle school students in the state. Kat DeSantis, Public Policy Coordinator of the Lancaster Chamber says the deadline for applications for the local competition is February 5, 2025. The first step is responding to a three-question essay prompt with no more than 750 words by submitting their application online through a portal. “So, we've distributed that to teachers and educators and students themselves to kind of help them develop their essay, Know what the judges are looking for. They'll get the rubric because we do have essay judges that we've solicited from across the state who will then be scoring the essays. And then, like I said, the top 20 essays will then go on to compete in the local competition, which then includes a couple of rounds of multiple-choice questions via tablet. And then as they kind of go through that, they’ll get down to the kind of third round where students will defend their essays and they'll be asked questions about how they would implement it. And to explain a little bit more about their solutions for their community. And then that is how they then the judge, the live event judges, then select the finalists who then move on to the state competition, “said DeSantis. Kevin DiGuiseppe, Business Policy & Advocacy Manager, Harrisburg Regional Chamber & CREDC is really hoping to see growth of civics knowledge and engagement in our region’s youth during the competition. “One of the most fulfilling and rewarding parts of this experience, at least for myself, is seeing the kids who come in as competitors, as sixth grade students, as seventh grade students. And then to see them coming back the next year or two as seventh graders or as eighth graders, and really watching that knowledge and understanding of foundational civics principles really growing, taking root and flourishing in these kids. It's really rewarding to see. It reminds me of myself at that age when I was first taking an interest in civics, “said DiGuiseppe. The first prize of the National Civic bee is $100,000 529 account towards their college education.

In this enlightening episode of Join the Docs, the ever-curious Professor Jonathan Sackier and the delightfully witty Doctor Nigel Guest dive deep into the gray matter (pun absolutely intended) to untangle the mysteries of the human brain and its trusty sidekick, the nervous system. Who are the guests this week? Joining this week is the insightful Ione Georgakis, an Occupational Therapist and Advocacy Manager for Tourette Action and Dr. Ed Palmer, a fellow Tourette expert and psychiatrist.. Ione and Ed bring a synapse-worthy amount of knowledge and compassion to the discussion, shedding light on the challenges faced by individuals with Tourette syndrome and other movement disorders. Their expertise in therapeutic interventions and advocacy adds a crucial nerve center to the conversation, underscoring the importance of holistic care and patient empowerment.  How does the brain orchestrate movement? The dynamic trio pirouettes straight into the topic, exploring the brain's role as the maestro of movement. Tremors are likened to an over-caffeinated squirrel, while rigidity gets compared to the Tin Man pre-lube job, adding just the right amount of levity to complex concepts.  When Parkinson's disease is discussed, The Docs examine it with a careful and informed approach. Diagnosing the condition, they explain, requires a balance of scientific knowledge and clinical judgment, as the symptoms can be subtle and vary from person to person. Treatment options are diverse, including medications and deep brain stimulation, a procedure that involves implanting a device to help regulate brain activity and manage symptoms more effectively. The laughs don't come at the expense of insight. Stories pepper the episode like synaptic sparks. Ione and Ed  add their own heartwarming anecdotes of resilience and triumph, illustrating how tailored therapies and supportive communities provide vital nourishment for those living with movement disorders.What will you take away from this episode? By the episode's end, listeners will have a newfound appreciation for the pun-damental intricacies of the human brain, a smile on their faces, and perhaps an irresistible urge to break out into dance—just remember to thank your motor neurons!  —--DISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed on Join the Docs are those of Dr. Nigel Guest, Jonathan Sackier and other people on our show.
