In this update episode, Jacque Tinker shares major news from the working Australian Shepherd world—plus several big announcements you won't want to miss. The episode spotlights the Working Aussie Source (workingaussiesource.com), a vetted directory built to protect and promote true working-bred Australian Shepherds for the people who genuinely need them: ranchers, farmers, grazers, and serious stockdog homes. Jacque explains the purpose and history of the Working Aussie Source, how litters are reviewed, and why preserving concentrated working genetics matters. She also dives into the return of a legendary working-dog tradition: the Futurity, revived for the first time in 20 years, and now expanded into a multi-event weekend designed to showcase real ranch work—not just arena patterns. You'll also hear updates on upcoming events, how to support the Futurity, where to find trainers and resources, and a personal announcement Jacque has been waiting a long time to share. In This Episode What the Working Aussie Source is and why it exists How breeders and litters are vetted (and why that can be controversial) Why working Aussies need a purpose—and why placement matters The return of the Futurity and what makes it different today Why Jacque raised the Futurity age and structured it around real ranch tasks Introduction of the World Ranch Dog Finals (the updated "maturity" concept) Details for the combined 2025/2026 event weekend: April 23–26, 2026 How to sponsor and support: Friends of the Futurity Training opportunities, camps, and lessons through stockdogtrainer.com Big personal news: Jacque's Copper the Ranch Dog children's book series is underway   Announcements Mentioned   Swag shop: australianshepherdnation.com Discount code: INSTINCT10 (10% off) Futurity + Ranch Dog Finals: April 23–26, 2026 Support the event: "Friends of the Futurity" sponsorship option on workingaussiesource.com Cattle Camp + training: stockdogtrainer.com New books coming: Copper the Ranch Dog children's book series (Book 1 in illustration now; Books 2–3 in editing

Wednesday Headlines: PM evacuated from The Lodge for hours over bomb scare, more than half of Aussies say they’d consider voting for One Nation, more flu deaths recorded in 2025 than any other year this century, Guthrie family offers $1 million USD reward for info in mother’s disappearance and there are calls for Aussie kids to be banned from e-bikes and scooters. Deep DIve: For decades the Australian government has tried, but failed, to meaningfully crack down on Hizb ut-Tahrir. The Islamist group was founded in Jerusalem in 1953, has been in Australia since the early 1990s and is on track to become the first group banned under the Federal Government’s new hate laws. In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou speaks with counter-terrorism expert Josh Roose about what Hizb ut-Tahrir believes, how it recruits and operates in Australia and whether banning it will disrupt extremism, or simply push it further underground.

This Government has made fast-track a buzzword. After yet another massive hack of private information on Sunday, it needs to put that buzzword into action and sharpen up our privacy laws. Like, yesterday. Especially if we're talking about your health information getting stolen and potentially posted online by hackers for a ransom. The hackers it seems, are pretty much a mystery and never get caught. That ship seems to have sailed, and we can, at least for now, put that in the too hard basket. But the folks we can fine, which we currently don't, are the businesses asking for our information and not doing enough to protect it in the first place. If there was ever a need for better regulation and harsher penalties, it's with cases like this - what should be your private data. In New Zealand, Consumer says there is no express penalty or fine for a breach. The Privacy Commissioner has the power to issue a fine of $10k. Yes, just $10k. And that's only if a company doesn't report a breach of tries to hide it. The Aussies will whack you with a fine of up to AU$50 million. That makes ours look like a slap with a wet bus ticket. Companies should be scared to ask for your private information because the risk of it being nicked is evidently very high. In two months, we're had the largest ever hack in our history, through Manage My Health, and now this MediMap breach. Last week I went shopping for some new clothes, a few t-shirts and some shorts. I was asked for my name and email and address. Why? A mailing list no doubt. I didn't have to provide this data, but if I did, I'd pay 10% less for the clothes. I paid full price but couldn't leave with a receipt unless I handed over my email. Businesses want our information because they can sell us more stuff, but it should be illegal to ask unless the law requires it. And if the data they do have is stolen, that should be their problem under the law. The fines ought to reflect how serious the breach is. With health, it ought to be millions. They should be scared, like with health and safety laws, to even ask for your personal information. It's not like this problem has suddenly sailed into port. That's why the legislation should be fast-tracked, bipartisan, and tough as nails. Otherwise, we can all look forward to another data breach coming to a town near you soon.

What if blindness wasn't a limitation but a blessing? In this conversation, I talk with Mel Stephens from Australia, a third-generation blind woman living with Rod Cone Dystrophy who believes blindness has given her more gifts than loss. We explore accessibility, guide dogs, mainstream education, Braille literacy, technology, YouTube, independence, discrimination, and what it really means to have a different ability. Mel shares how she built a life around horses, travel, cruising, and running a business, while pushing back against outdated views of blindness. You will hear honest insights about mindset, community acceptance, blind skills, and why learning Braille and orientation mobility still matter in a high-tech world. I believe you will find this both practical and deeply encouraging. Highlights: 00:09 – Hear why blindness is described as a blessing rather than a tragedy. 03:09 – Discover why the real challenge is public perception, not vision loss itself. 11:13 – Learn how mainstream schooling built independence and strong blind skills. 25:17 – Explore the difference between disability and different ability. 50:20 – Understand why relying too much on technology can weaken core mobility skills. 1:01:13 – Get direct advice for anyone losing eyesight or raising a blind child. Top of Form Bottom of Form About the Guest: Mel Stephens is a third-generation blind YouTuber from Australia. With parents who are both blind or vision impaired, she grew up learning to stand on her own two feet. A proud guide dog handler, Mel is now teamed up with her second dog, Penelope. She's always been an animal lover—mad for cats, dogs, and horses—and has two of her own, Maggie and Abby. To her knowledge, she's one of the only blind Aussies to rescue and rehabilitate a horse, which she reckons is a pretty fair dinkum achievement. A country girl through and through, Mel has spent most of her life in towns with fewer than 5,000 people, and there's no way you'll catch her living in the big smoke. That said, she does love a yearly trip to Sydney, where she soaks up the atmosphere of the footy and the city buzz—though after a week she's happy to nick off back to the quiet life. When she's not looking after her animals or working as a PA for an orientation and mobility instructor, Mel's usually off travelling. She's train-mad—can't get enough of them—and throws in the odd cruise for good measure. Her adventures are made possible thanks to skills she's built since she was a kid, including mental mapping, echolocation, and her trusty guide dog partnership. Mel doesn't reckon blindness is a disability at all—it's just another way of seeing the world. With a positive, no-worries attitude, she loves showing others that people who are blind or vision impaired can do pretty much anything if given the chance.

If a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, then one member of the R 'n R ensemble is a weapon of mass destruction and he proves it beyond reasonable doubt when talk turns to the AFL State of Origin clash. It's self destruction at the T20 World Cup as the Aussies do a Bradbury - something they don't need at the Winter Olympics, where gold is easier to find than condoms. Speaking of that, romance is in the air as the R 'n R Love God reflects on his Valentine's Day activites. Musically, we take a deep dive into the music of Joe Cocker. Where does he rate? What are his best and worst songs?

Given how much of a tease we've had about the Eden Park news today, it's completely understandable if the excitement levels aren't where they should be. But let's be clear - this is really big news on two fronts. The first, obviously, is the State of Origin game. This is the first time since 1987 that the Aussies have allowed a State of Origin match out of the country, and the first time ever that it's coming to New Zealand. We are a big rugby league nation, and that game - even if it kicks off at some ridiculous hour like 9:30 or 10:00 in the evening - will sell out pretty quickly. Which means I'm not sure how much international money it's actually going to bring in, because surely we're going to snap up the tickets ourselves before any Aussies can get them. But it will be an event. And if it gets New Zealand a step closer to being considered a serious contender for a second NRL team, that can't be a bad thing, can it? The second announcement, though, is the one I think is actually bigger. We get very fizzy about the State of Origin, but the rule changes around Eden Park matter more because they're bigger than one event - they're long‑term. It was always ridiculous that Eden Park couldn't host a sporting event on a Sunday, and that weekday sports events had to be wrapped up by 9:30pm, which would have put a huge 'no' on hosting the State of Origin game on a Wednesday. It was equally silly that Eden Park could only ever have 12 concerts a year, delivered by only six artists, and that any one month could host no more than four concerts. Now, it's 12 big concerts, 20 medium-sized concerts, any day of the week, up to eight hours, and not always needing to go through the full consent process. I understand that residents need to be considered, and I'm genuinely grateful to those who have been so generous. But this change was necessary. If we don't want Eden Park sitting empty most days of the week waiting for a ratepayer bailout like in the old days - if we want it to actually earn its way - then this is how we do it. And it hasn't come a day too soon. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Deep Dive: Peptides are being hyped online as miracle fixes for everything from glowing skin and fat loss to muscle growth and anti-ageing, with influencers injecting compounds that sound more like science fiction than skincare. While peptides are legitimate biological building blocks used in medicine, the social media boom has blurred the line between evidence-based treatments and unregulated, risky products. In this episode of The Briefing, Helen Smith is joined by leading dermatologist Dr Ryan De Cruz to break down what peptides actually are and the dangers of buying and injecting them without medical oversight.

It's 9 days into the tournament and two big guns flexed their might overnight with commands performances. Starting with India, Ishan Kishan was batting on a different surface as his 77 proved decisive in the match against Pakistan. Pakistan played all six spinners and held India through the middle overs, but key moments didn't go their way. A near hattrick for Saim Ayub, and an LBW shout could have been the turning points. As it was India's bowlers also proved too strong for the Pakistan top order. Binksy and Baldy round out this segment with praise for an unlikely Indian pace spearhead. To the other big powerhouse in group play - yes, the West Indies as they roll over Nepal in a comprehensive 9-wicket victory. The WI seamers dominated the early going - while Holder got the wickets it was Forde that was the superstar in our eyes as the WI shut down Nepal and paved the way for a comfortable chase. Finally, the USA gets some love as their campaign builds in what is shaping up as a run that has us excited for the future of cricket in that country. Going forward it's a huge night for Australia - their encounter with Sri Lanka is must-win, and we cover what needs to go right for the Aussies. Steve Smith has arrived - but is it too late? The Ireland and Zimbabwe game 24 hours later will be a decisive fixture in Group B. We'll be back in your feed again tomorrow with the next instalment of our T20 World Cup coverage.

While the Australian team hasn't had the happiest start to the T20 Cricket World Cup but there are other Aussies in the tournament who have enjoyed success already.

Baldy has had an absolute nightmare overnight as Australia fall to Zimbabwe overnight leaving their progression out of the group stage in peril. Whether it's a loss of identity, a failure to execute, or just a perfect performance by Zimbabwe, Raj, Baldy, and Jamie break down the first big upset of the tournament. There's a lot to unpack in that (lack of) performance by the Aussies - the batting effort comes under a lot of scrutiny. Also - where's Steve Smith when you need him? For Zimbabwe, we praise Bennet and the top order for getting the most out of the conditions, and their bowling for tearing through Australia. Baldy's bold 'Taking Care of Business' predictions continued to haunt him as his beloved Canadians fall to the UAE overnight. For the UAE, the young Aryansh Sharma puts himself in the franchise spotlight with a match-winning and possibly career-defining performance. Junaid Siddique also comes in for praise for his performance as the UAE build momentum during the group phase. Finally, Baldy goes 0 for 3 as the boys recap USA's thumping victory over the Netherlands. Again, the USA put in just about the perfect performance, even without Adries Gous ad Saurav Netravalkar as Mukkamalla and van Shalkwyk stand tall with bat and ball. For the Dutch it was a disappointing effort with spin and with the bat as their campaign hasn't really got going. Looking forward Baldy is on a 24-48 hour prediction standdown, but Raj is convincing and the boys give their take on the NZ vs SA, England vs Scotland (the cricket, not the Six Nations at Murraryfield) and Ireland vs Oman fixtures coming up tonight.

We’ve got the voice of Radio Le Mans on the pod for the first time and they recorded the ep in the National Motor Racing Museum at Mount Panorama! Let’s face it between Rusty and John it was always going to be a big ask to keep the chat to a shortcast duration so there’s over half an hour of convo for you to enjoy ahead of this weekend’s race. From human interest stories like the Quinn entry where driving duties will be shared across three generations of the family to the headline grabbing return of MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi. He’s here because he wants to be! Why this event has become so well regarded internationally not just because of the lure of this classic race track. Can Maro Engel break a bit of a Bathurst hoodoo? And some of the standout Aussies in the field including Supercars champion Chaz Mostert and his rival who went so, so close to claiming that title last year - Broc Feeney. Plus some of the other stories to follow like Kenny Habul, Matt Campbell, BMW’s hopes of going back-to-back and the highly anticipated grudge match between Chev and Ford as the Corvette and the Mustang GT3 machines line-up for this unforgiving 12 hour race. Make sure you visit the National Motor Racing Museum the next time you get to Bathurst. Cars, bikes and all sorts of racing disciplines are celebrated with an incredible collection on display https://museumsbathurst.com.au/nmrm/Our thanks to John for coming on too.

Billy's got a fresh look, and kicks the show off with the All Sports Report - and an early AFL retirement. Former Alpine Skier Jono Bauer calls in to tell us which Aussies can win medals in Milan, then Billy responds to accusations from the Mick In The Morning team that he stole Nick Riewoldt's air fryer from the office. Topics Thomas wants to know about the unusual thing you found in your house, we've got more footy news from Essendon and Collingwood, and we put State of Origin tickets up for grabs as WA listeners tell us why the west is better than Victoria. Melbourne Demons captain Max Gawn is in studio to talk State of Origin and what to expect from the Dees this year, then Billy made us wait 24 hours - but he's got the joke that he couldn't find yesterday.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We spun the Wheel for our first ever Emoji Game on breakfast, then Ricki recapped the best auditions from last night's Australian Idol because the talent is unreal. Seattle Seahawks punter Michael Dickson showed Sydney some serious love at the Super Bowl, proving Aussies are everywhere. Daily Telegraph's Joe Hildebrand broke down the Sydney protest chaos and called Prime Minister Albo live on air (spoiler: voicemail). Kim K and Lewis Hamilton hard launched their relationship courtside at the Super Bowl with all the PDA, plus we revealed which Sydney suburbs have the most singles ahead of Valentine's Day—Woollahra for ladies, Lakemba has 304 blokes for every 100 women. Ricki revealed she was almost an Aussie Diamond before choosing singing, then a hairdresser expressed concern about her receding hairline on air (the audacity). There's a toilet scandal at the brand new Fish Market with only 12 female toilets causing chaos, and we played our first game of Sing! with Sarah Harris.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
