As a child, chef Graeme Stockdale was embarrassed by the smell of sauerkraut and pickles that would trail him from his Polish and German grandparents' home. A transformative encounter with a barbecued duck in Singapore changed his life, though nothing would prepare him for two monumental floods in his adopted region of Lismore, NSW.Graeme was only a boy when he was introduced to the power and ferocity of fire. As a nine-year-old living in Albany, Western Australia he lit a fire out of curiosity on a neighbour's property. It was the look on his mother's face that turned his experience from awesome into terrifying.Graham grew up with the flavours of his grandparents' German and Polish ancestry, raised by a single mum, and experienced social isolation brought on by the judgement of kids at school.  After the barbecued duck experience, his whole world became focused on food, and he eventually opened his own restaurant in Lismore, NSW.Graeme survived two major floods, and in the aftermath, cooked on his barbecue non-stop for weeks, outside his ruined restaurant, feeding his community with help from volunteers.Further informationRead more about Graeme's restaurant in Lismore, The Stockpot Kitchen.Graeme's cookbook, Red Hot & Smokin'! was published by New Holland Publishers in 2019.Conversations' Executive Producer is Nicola Harrison.

Lama Zopa Rinpoche says that the reason to have meetings is to help with wisdom. Many people have different ideas, so that helps generate a broader view.Rinpoche talks about the importance of Sangha as role models. He says learning the words is incredible, but without practice, it's like a tape-recorder. When someone has meditated on lamrim, they can teach with experience.Rinpoche introduces the main topic of discussion about caring for aged Sangha by suggesting that there should be several places organized in different countries rather than only one place. He then invites people to express their ideas. Eecie Hursthouse (director of Amitabha Hospice Service) discusses the three different needs of elderly Sangha (spiritual, physical, and social needs). Mary, a district nurse, talks about her experiences and the aged care support services available in Australia. Ven. Roger Kunsang talks about his preference to die alone. Ven. Tardo expresses her agreement with Ven. Roger. Ven. Yeshe Khadro gives some examples of people who have died and their experiences. Ven. Chonyi talks about the enormous variation in what people want when they're dying and the need for financial support. Ven. Lhundrup agrees with Ven. Roger and talks about the building facilities that older Sangha may require. Ven. Pende discusses the building facilities at Nalanda Monastery for the purpose of supporting aged Sangha. Several other speakers contribute to the discussion by sharing their personal experiences and suggestions.Following this, Rinpoche gives a presentation about how to have a peaceful death. He illustrates the importance of Dharma practice for a peaceful death by sharing several personal stories, including stories about Gen Jampa Wangdu and his realizations. Rinpoche says that protecting our karma during our lifetime is what makes death peaceful and fearless. Protecting our karma means not harming other sentient beings. Thus, the best preparation for death is to practice the good heart in everyday life.Rinpoche concludes by reminding students to meditate on how everything comes from the mind. This understanding will then lead to knowledge of what is a false view and what is a correct view. Rinpoche emphasizes that this is an extremely important meditation for both old and new students.From April 10 to May 10, 2004, Lama Zopa Rinpoche gave extensive teachings during the Mahamudra Retreat at Buddha House in Australia. While the retreat focused on Mahamudra, Rinpoche also taught on a wide range of Lamrim topics. This retreat marked the beginning of a series of month-long retreats in Australia. Subsequent retreats were held in 2011, 2014, and 2018, hosted by the Great Stupa of Universal Compassion in Bendigo.Find out more about Lama Zopa Rinpoche, his teachings and projects at https://fpmt.org/

Sydney-based Tamar Krebs started as a Registered Nurse, but her decades of experience as a senior manager operating Retirement Villages, Nursing Homes and Dementia Units, led this visionary thinker to believe we needed to deliver much better care for our aged and demented loved ones; that the existing model of 100 people living under the one roof, in an institution, is not giving people who need assistance the best outcomes. Tamar decided the entire sector needed upending – to go from the merely task-focused Transactional, to Transformational care that allows older and demented people to live in a small household, a home of roughly 6- 10 residents, with a staff to client ratio of 1 “homemaker” to 3 or 4 residents, and where everyone is involved in running the household, just as had happened in disability care. But back in 2011 this maverick was not well-received. Tamar knocked on 62 potential investors’ doors, mostly pitching to nay-sayers who dismissed her idea of people with dementia living in a small assisted household on a regular suburban street. But she persevered and won over a couple of high net worth individuals, who understood her vision, and backed her with seed money to buy her first house. How she started with $5000 in her pocket just 13 years ago and grew her empire to now 22 homes all over Sydney, with 350 employees is an inspiring startup story, with lots of bumps and self-doubt along the way. Take a listen to Tamar Krebs, a true thinker out of the box.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The year was 2012. A young Benita Kolovos arrives at her high school literature class to find a print-out on her desk. It's the Julia Gillard misogyny speech. When it comes to riveting moments in Australian media, Gillard's speech has few peers. It was raw, honest, and reached millions of Australian women who were fed up with double standards in the workplace, and in life. But one speech can't fix everything. Year after year, when International Women's Day rolls around, we have a special opportunity to reflect on where we are and how far we've come in the last twelve months.Inspired by the power of Gillard's speech, Benita pursued politics in journalism. At the same time, Maddy Harradence, a Registered Nurse, started a long meaningful career in her union, and Rebecca Thistleton forged a path in policy and media. These three visionary women come together for our annual 2025 IWD episode for a wide ranging conversation on politics, health, media, and sport.

Ro is up to his gills in wedding planning and begins this week almost immediately complaining about the cost of wedding venues. We entertain this man for a bit before both Migs and Sen share niche Metro chat, we have an update on Summer Soccer which gets derailed for one of the more unbelievable (as in we don't believe it) Stay Dangerous stories.The game this week is the “Letter Game” - pretty simple premise as Sen gives the boys 2 letters. They must name a word that begins with the first letter and ends with the second letter, the winner is the one who names the word first.Our final segment is another new one - “Career Limiting Moves.” We start with some listener submissions, before we discuss some of our own/ones we witnessed ourselves which leads us going down some very sobering rabbit holes. We then end with some famous examples of career limiting moves from various athletes.This week we also have a special message on behalf of the Department of Health and Aged Care.___________________________________________________________FULL PODCAST EPISODES

Sign HERE Make DNA Screening for Cancer and Heart Disease Risk Available in Australia, Asks Shelley Craft Shelley Craft and Amanda Attwood, from The Aging Project Podcast need your support. We're calling on Mark Butler, Minister for Health and Aged Care, to champion and approve funding for the next stage of the DNA Screen Project at Monash University, to move towards population-wide DNA screening for adult disease prevention. This trial initiative is providing life-saving genetic testing for hereditary cancers and heart disease, preventing tragedies before they happen and dramatically reducing the financial burden on Australia's healthcare system. Led by Professor Paul Lacaze and Dr Jane Tiller, the DNA Screen Project has already demonstrated the life-changing potential in a trial of 10,000 people aged 18 to 40 years at risk of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, Lynch syndrome, and familial hypercholesterolemia. Genetic variations affect 1 in 75 people, and with genetic testing now available, there is no reason why it should be restricted. Despite the clear benefits, publicly funded testing is currently available only to those who meet restrictive criteria. Every Australian, of any age, deserves the right to know if they fall within the 2% of the population at high risk, so they can take preventive action to protect their health. We want a population-wide, criteria-free screening program. A national initiative like this would put Australia at the forefront of preventive healthcare, ensuring that every Australian knows their genetic risks and can take steps to protect their future health. Here's why this matters: The DNA screening test can cost as little as $200-$400 per person—an affordable price for a program that has the potential to save lives and reduce long-term healthcare costs. The cost of cancer care alone to the Australian healthcare system is over $6 BILLION annually By identifying genetic risks early, we can reduce the number of people needing expensive treatments later, saving taxpayer dollars while preventing disease. The 10,000-person pilot completed study at Monash University has laid the groundwork for a scalable, nationwide DNA screening program. But to move forward, the project needs government funding to expand beyond the initial trial group and make this life-saving test available to every Australian who wants it, regardless of age or background. By signing this petition, you are joining a community voice advocating for a future where genetic screening for high risk genetic variations is accessible to everyone, and where preventive healthcare can truly save lives. We ask Mark Butler and the Australian Government to support funding for the next phase of the DNA Screen Project and allow this innovative program to become a nationwide, population-based screening initiative. Join us in calling for change. Let's ensure that every Australian, at every age, has the chance to know their significant genetic risks and take proactive steps to safeguard their health and the health of their families. The future of genetic testing is HERE - now we just need access to it. Sign now and make your voice heard—because access to life-saving genetic screening should be a right, not a privilege.

The Australian government is putting up the price of aged care as part of what it's described as a "once in a generation" overhaul. A crisis of bed availability and financial strain prompted an inquiry which resulted in 23 recommendations that the government is now working through. As part of this, aged care will become more expensive and financial support for those living independently will be boosted. Back home, New Zealand may soon be following suit, as a government review looks at new funding models. Some towns are completely out of beds with tight financial books forcing providers to reduce their capacity. Tom Symondson is the chief executive of Australia's Aged and Community Care Providers Association. He played a pivotal role in the recent reforms and is in New Zealand to discuss the redesign of our system.
