The Albanese Government's Cabinet is now 55% female, and gender balanced across the outer ministry. So what kind of difference can this make to women in Australia, especially with advancements in AI and tech, threats to gender equality, as well as the continuing crisis of violence against women and children? Recently, Women's Agenda had the opportunity to catch up briefly with four of those female ministers and assistant ministers, including Minister for Women, Senator Katy Gallagher Minister for Social Services Tanya Plibersek Assistant Minister for Women, Health & Aged Care and Indigenous Health, Rebecca White And the Assistant Minister for Social Services, Ged Kearney We held the discussion in Sydney, just as the four were going into the Women and Women's Safety Ministerial Council meeting, a meeting attended by ministers across states and territories to discuss a joint response across all jurisdictions to gender equality and the national crisis of gender based violence. We discussed their current concerns regarding progress on gender equality, the potential of the social services portfolio, as well as the risks and opportunities associated with AI adoption. We also discussed ending violence against women, and tackling women's homelessness. This conversation was recorded on the 15th of August, in Sydney. And apologies, it is a little disjointed as we tried to make the most of a short period of time, which included people entering the room at different times, and utilising the two microphones our team had available.

Aged care is one of the most confronting—and inevitable—journeys we'll face which is why we opted to talk about this on the @Power Of Women Podcast. Kathy Kirby and Kate Lamont, aged care advocates and co-founders of Thrive Aged Care, walk us through the landscape of aged care in Australia. Whether you're planning for yourself, supporting a parent, or navigating care for a partner, the truth is most of us are uninformed and unprepared when the moment arrives. And whilst it is not always the case, more often than not, the care planning and care giving, falls to women. Listen to Kathy & Kate as they draw on their frontline experience to help families approach aged care with clarity, compassion, and practical wisdom. KEY TOPICS:- Aged care is complex—but with the right planning, it's not impossible to navigate.- Dementia care requires a different lens. Understanding brain changes can help families respond with empathy, not fear.- Carer burnout is real. Most carers are women. Most are unpaid. And most don't ask for help until it's too late.- Early conversations are the game-changer- instead of waiting until crisis hits. New podcast episodes drop every Monday to power your week.

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. Women's issues impact everyone - this is not one to miss. CHAPTERS:00:00 Open01:58 Introduction07:38 Women in Politics10:36 Women's Healthcare21:52 Wages and Conditions29:55 Activity Test31:46 Family Violence44:00 Women in the Media53:56 Communicating to Younger Constituents01:07:04 Reasons for Optimism & Path ForwardThe presenting sponsor of the Socially Democratic podcast is Dunn Street.

The Chief Ombudsman is concerned that people are being put in secure aged care facilities without the proper legal authority.

There are fledgling examples of artificial intelligence being introduced into the aged care sector from fall prevention systems to new ways of addressing social isolation. And an Australian made humanoid robot who goes by the name Abi is among them. - Esistono già primi esempi di introduzione dell'intelligenza artificiale nel settore dell'assistenza agli anziani, che vanno dai sistemi di prevenzione delle cadute ai nuovi metodi per affrontare l'isolamento sociale. E tra questi c'è anche un robot umanoide di fabbricazione australiana che si chiama Abi.

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
