Send us a Text Message.The 1984 Wallabies: A Historic Grand SlamIn 1984, the Australian Wallabies embarked on an 18-match tour of Great Britain, a journey that would etch their names in rugby history. Under the leadership of captain Andrew Slack and coach Alan Jones, the Wallabies faced formidable opponents, losing to Cardiff, Llanelli, Ulster, and South of Scotland. However, their victories against the Home Unions were legendary, making them the first Australian team to achieve the Grand Slam.The Road to Victory: Dominating the Home UnionsThe Wallabies' triumphs were characterized by their defensive prowess, conceding only one try in the internationals. They defeated England by 16 points, Ireland by seven, and Wales by 19, showcasing their offensive strength with four tries. The final victory against Scotland was a resounding 37-12, highlighting the team's dominance.David Campese: The Rise of a Rugby LegendCentral to this narrative is David Campese, a 19-year-old winger of Italian descent. His meteoric rise began in the local Queanbeyan side, the Whites, and quickly led to his international debut. Campese's playing style, marked by the "Campese Goosestep" or "Struggletown Shuffle," set him apart. His background in Queanbeyan, a town known for its immigrant population and resilience, shaped his unique approach to the game.South African Rugby: A Parallel of TransformationMuch like Campese and the Ellas' impact on Australian rugby, South African rugby has undergone significant transformation. Players like Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, with diverse backgrounds and exceptional talent, are reshaping the sport. Feinberg-Mngomezulu's journey, influenced by his grandfather's legacy as an anti-apartheid activist, mirrors the broader changes within South African rugby.The Evolution of the SpringboksUnder coaches like Rassie Erasmus and Jacques Nienaber, the Springboks have embraced diversity and talent from all walks of life. This inclusive approach has led to remarkable successes, including back-to-back World Cup wins. The integration of players from various backgrounds and the celebration of their unique skills have strengthened the team.From Struggle to TriumphThe stories of the Wallabies and the Springboks highlight the essence of struggle and triumph in sports. These narratives remind us that behind every victory lies a journey filled with challenges, resilience, and transformation. As the world of rugby continues to evolve, it celebrates not only the athletic prowess but also the diverse and rich histories that each player brings to the field.Donate to The Luke Alfred Show on Patreon.Get my book: Vuvuzela Dawn: 25 Sporting Stories that Shaped a New Nation.Get full written episodes of the show a day early on Substack.Check out The Luke Alfred Show on YouTube and Facebook.

Former Wallaby captain Andrew Slack talks about 'The Letter' and shares his thoughts on the game.
Embattled Rugby Australia CEO Raelene Castle is fighting back against a growing chorus of voices calling for her resignation. The sporting body is seeking crisis talks with 11 disgruntled former Wallabies captains who have called for a leadership overhaul at the governing body.World Cup-winning skipper Nick Farr-Jones is behind a vote-of-no-confidence letter delivered to boss Raelene Castle and the board.George Gregan and Phil Kearns - a leading candidate to succeed Castle - are among those to put their names to paper.Dual World Cup winners John Eales and Tim Horan as well as grand slam-winning skipper Andrew Slack are not signatories.Castle told Simon Barnett and Phil Gifford the only thing she's paying attention to is pushing on with big strategic changes which are starting to pay dividends. “That’s what we have set about doing the past few years."Those results are not immediate, but I do believe we have the building blocks in place to see things improve.”LISTEN ABOVE
Donate to The Permaculture Podcast Online: via PayPal Venmo: @permaculturepodcast My guest today is Andrew Slack. He joins me to share his thoughts and personal experience on how to use storytelling to create social change. A climate activist and former head of the non-profit Harry Potter Alliance—which used the collective fandom of J.K. Rowling's Wizarding World to create a movement of good-will in the real-world—we talk about his approach of using the arts to catalyze movements through the stories we share, as fans of fiction, from our culture, or our individual lives. He also asks some questions of me about why permaculture matters, in a conversation that wound up personal for both of us. You can find out more about Andrew's current project at savesantashome.us. I've also included links in the resource section of this episode to The Harry Potter Alliance and other places you can find more about him and his work in the wider world. Visit Our Partner: VerdEnergia Pacifica When I started this podcast in 2010, I wanted to deepen my understanding of permaculture and share what I learned during my permaculture design course. As time went on my interview skills improved and more and more people joined me as guests, including authors whose books you have on your shelves to others recording their first-ever media appearance. As that happened, so the show became about people sharing their stories. For those who were media savvy, to get them to stray from their talking points and tell us a personal tale about who they are, where they come from, and why what they do matters. For those who were new, to draw out their passion and hear more about what they care about. Together we could find threads in common to connect to and inspire. That regardless of our backgrounds we could understand one another as people, and make the world smaller, more intimate, and peaceful. Meeting with Andrew and sitting down with him in his apartment in Washington, D.C. I wanted to understand how people take their stories, their art, and the connections they see to create something bigger than individual actions. Something more than ourselves that is engaging, fun, and world-changing because as permaculture practitioners, we know how to solve problems. How to grow food. How to feed people. How to care for the other-than-human. How to restore ecosystems. How to repair damage to our communities. What I find missing is how we share the vision of what this bountiful future based on ethical design looks like. How do we use story, modern myths, the arts, to create broader social change? How do those of use skilled beyond the landscape apply our talents to create lasting and permanent culture atop the regenerative surplus of permanent agriculture? I know many of you are artists and storytellers yourselves. You write. You draw. You make comic books. You paint. What kind of collective can we form and work together so that people yearn for the dream of a lush, verdant, bountiful world? I'd love to hear from you. Leave a comment below.

Andrew Slack captained the Wallabies through one of our greatest Rugby periods. I sat down with him to find out what it takes to captain the Wallabies, succeed at a high level and live a good life. I don't want to spoil the interview but I'll say this - people skills matter - caring about people is a core skill, in his opinion. I'm sure you'll agree that it's a refreshing take on life and leadership from an international superstar and Brisbane local. Enjoy!

How much does an author's point of view influence her stories? And do those stories in turn influence us? Professor Anthony Gierzynski argues that reading Harry Potter can make people more tolerant of diversity, and more resistant to unreasonable authority. Andrew Slack, creator of the Harry Potter Alliance, explains how JK Rowling inspired him to want to change the world. And the HPA's Jackson Bird explains how being a political activist changed him in ways he never expected. ** This is part 6 in a 6-part series on magic and fantasy.**Learn more about your ad choices.
