Highlights from Talkback. William Crawley and guests discuss the news headlines.

Auckland War Memorial Museum is is losing thousands of dollars a day after being forced to close its doors because an asbestos scare. It's been closed since the tenth of May after the asbestos dust was found in Te Marae Atea Maori Court and the Pacific Galleries. Following swab tests it was discovered in the Grand Foyer - which makes things more complicated because that is a major evacuation route. Chief Executive of Auckland Museum, David Reeves spoke to Lisa Owen.

The U.S. Attorney for Montana says the Lincoln County District Court overstepped its jurisdiction by allowing BNSF Railway to seize an asbestos clinic's property in Libby. It's the latest development in a long-standing legal battle.

Auckland's War Memorial Museum still doesn't have a re-opening date after closing on Saturday when asbestos dust was found in multiple areas. The dust isn't air-borne - and has been found in the older part of the museum and Grand Foyer, where the emergency exits are located. Staff have been working remotely. Deputy mayor Desley Simpson says the museum's doing the right thing and putting safety first. "They're working under a licenced asbestos assessor to actually get rid of it."

A Libby clinic that screens locals for asbestos-related diseases was shuttered this week. A district court authorized the seizure of the clinic's property to pay a court settlement.

For decades, Libby residents have lived with the deadly aftermath of asbestos contamination from a now defunct vermiculite mine. People who were exposed to that asbestos are still getting sick. But getting a diagnosis could become more difficult as potential Trump Administration spending cuts threaten the specialized asbestos clinic that screens locals.

Asbestos might seem like a problem of the past, but it is still killing thousands every year. In the March issue of Prospect, Charlotte wrote about how her father's death from mesothelioma—a cancer caused by asbestos—led her into years of research, uncovering a shocking history of corporate negligence and government inaction.This week, Charlotte joins the Prospect podcast to share her findings. How long have we known asbestos is deadly? How have companies actively covered up the dangers? And why is asbestos still present in our homes, workplaces and schools, today? Charlotte discusses the latest push for justice—and whether those responsible will ever be held to account.Plus, Ellen and Alona weigh up school phone bans: “banger” or “dud”?To read Charlotte's piece ‘Asbestos: a corporate coverup, a public health catastrophe', head to prospectmagazine.co.uk.

Undocumented immigrants across the tri-state area are grappling with a new online registry unveiled by the Trump administration, prompting legal questions about whether to enroll.

My team and I have been paying attention, and one thing is clear - you want to hear from businesses beyond Sydney, not just the success stories, but especially those facing real challenges.That's why we're launching The Small Business Callout under The Mentor channel-giving business owners across the country a voice. In between The Mentor episodes, we'll hear what's working, what's not, and what real support from the government should look like. We want to hear from all industries - those struggling, those overlooked, and those who have something to say but haven't had the platform to say it.I'll continue hosting The Mentor, but these callouts will drop between episodes. For our latest episode, we have - Jason Spaull from Gold Coast based business Coastal Asbestos, which is dedicated to safely removing and managing asbestos across Queensland. Like many small businesses, Jason is feeling the pressure of Australia's economic climate, navigating rising costs, compliance challenges, and an uncertain future.This is about real business owners, real struggles, and real conversations. Let's get into it.Check out Coastal Asbestos's website here: https://www.coastalasbestosremoval.com.au/If you want to be on Small Business Callout - Email: support@mentored.com.auYou can subscribe to the Mentored newsletter here: https://mentored.com.au/newsletter-sign-upJoin the Facebook Group.Follow Mark Bouris on Instagram, LinkedIn & YouTube.

Welcome to The Veterans Disability Nexus, where we provide unique insights and expertise on medical evidence related to VA-rated disabilities.Leah Bucholz, a US Army Veteran, Physician Assistant, & former Compensation & Pension Examiner shares her knowledge related to Independent Medical Opinions often referred to as “Nexus Letters” in support of your pursuit of VA Disability every Wednesday at 7 AM. Leah provides an in-depth overview of asbestos exposure and its connection to VA disability claims. She explains that asbestos, once widely used in military settings like Navy ships from the 1940s to the 1980s, poses serious long-term health risks, including mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer, often manifesting decades after exposure. Leah highlights resources available for veterans, such as environmental health coordinators and VA.gov help documents, to aid in identifying exposure risks and filing disability claims. She emphasizes the importance of medical documentation, including service records and physician statements, to establish a connection between asbestos exposure during military service and related health conditions.

Banks in the UK have stopped giving out loans to houses with spray foam insulation. Why is it so bad and what are the ramifications for the US? | Thanks to our sponsor, Viewrail.

Dave said he'd never flip a house. He doesn't have the handyman skills; he doesn't like managing contractors, and he can't design a floor plan. So why now, coming into 2025, has he decided to flip his first house? It's simple—an opportunity was presented to him that he couldn't pass up. Partnering with expert investor James Dainard, Dave is flipping this house with James acting as the operator and Dave as the investor. If you've ever wanted to get into house flipping but felt like Dave, this episode will show you how to start. If Dave isn't managing contractors or handling permits, what role does he play? Today, Dave and James are walking through their unique house-flipping partnership, explaining why James made an offer on the property within hours of hearing about it, their rehab budget, renovation plan, potential profit, and some hiccups they could run into (asbestos!).  James is even sharing his expert tips on how to know a property is worth buying for a flip and questions you must ask a flipper or lender BEFORE you start working with them.
