About the Guest: Jenni Woodhouse is the Pastoral Care Coordinator for the Church Missionary Society in New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory. She previously served as the Chaplain for the Sydney Anglican Church's Professional Standards Unit. With an impressive background in pastoral care and professional ethics, Jenni has substantial experience addressing complex issues surrounding abuse within church communities. Her e Key Takeaways: Clergy abuse of women is more common than typically perceived, intertwining emotional, psychological, and spiritual manipulation. Ministers wield a unique form of power, influencing and accessing the private lives of congregants in ways other professionals do not. Prevention measures include ministers recognizing their power, committing to personal integrity, and maintaining open and honest discussions with mentors or supervisors. Congregations have a role to play in safeguarding themselves by being observant and addressing any questionable behaviors of their leaders. Full disclosure and accountability are necessary when a minister breaches ethical boundaries to prevent harmful rumors and promote healing within the community. Notable Quotes: “The first step on the slide downhill is to think it won't happen to me.” – Jenni Woodhouse “As soon as you say it out loud, that is going to decrease the power of that over you tenfold.” – Jenni Woodhouse “Someone with that kind of power has access to the more vulnerable people in the congregation like nobody else does.” – Jenni Woodhouse “Speak up, she still will be feeling like, who on earth is going to believe me?” – Jenni Woodhouse “Tell them the truth, and that will stomp that [gossip].” – Jenni Woodhouse Click here to contact Janet & Amelia or ask them a question or click here to contact the She Wasn't Born Yesterday team!

pWotD Episode 2567: Australia Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a popular Wikipedia page every day.With 225,318 views on Sunday, 12 May 2024 our article of the day is Australia.Australia, officially the Commonwealth of Australia, is a sovereign country comprising the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of Tasmania, and numerous smaller islands. Australia is the largest country by area in Oceania and the world's sixth-largest country. Australia is the oldest, flattest, and driest inhabited continent, with the least fertile soils. It is a megadiverse country, and its size gives it a wide variety of landscapes and climates, with deserts in the centre, tropical rainforests in the north-east, tropical savannas in the north, and mountain ranges in the south-east.The ancestors of Aboriginal Australians began arriving from south-east Asia 50,000 to 65,000 years ago, during the last glacial period. They settled the continent and had formed approximately 250 distinct language groups by the time of European settlement, maintaining some of the longest known continuing artistic and religious traditions in the world. Australia's written history commenced with European maritime exploration. The Dutch were the first known Europeans to reach Australia, in 1606. British colonisation began in 1788 with the establishment of the penal colony of New South Wales. By the mid-19th century, most of the continent had been explored by European settlers and five additional self-governing British colonies were established, each gaining responsible government by 1890. The colonies federated in 1901, forming the Commonwealth of Australia. This continued a process of increasing autonomy from the United Kingdom, highlighted by the Statute of Westminster Adoption Act 1942, and culminating in the Australia Acts of 1986.Australia is a federal parliamentary constitutional monarchy comprising six states and ten territories: the states of New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Tasmania, South Australia and Western Australia; the major mainland Australian Capital Territory and Northern Territory; and other minor or external territories. Its population of nearly 27 million is highly urbanised and heavily concentrated on the eastern seaboard. Canberra is the nation's capital, while its most populous cities are Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. Australian governments have promoted multiculturalism since the 1970s. Australia is culturally diverse and has one of the highest foreign-born populations in the world. Its abundant natural resources and well-developed international trade relations are crucial to the country's economy, which generates its income from various sources: predominantly services (including banking, real estate and international education) as well as mining, manufacturing and agriculture. It ranks highly for quality of life, health, education, economic freedom, civil liberties and political rights.Australia has a highly developed market economy and one of the highest per capita incomes globally. It is a middle power, and has the world's thirteenth-highest military expenditure. It is a member of international groups including the United Nations; the G20; the OECD; the World Trade Organization; Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation; the Pacific Islands Forum; the Pacific Community; the Commonwealth of Nations; and the defence and security organisations ANZUS, AUKUS, and the Five Eyes. It is also a major non-NATO ally of the United States.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:16 UTC on Monday, 13 May 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Australia on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Matthew Neural.

McComas Taylor is a professor of Sanskrit at the Australian National University. As a life-long learner of languages, he's had previous careers in publishing, Chinese and Tibetan studies, and Ornithology (the studying of birds). He's the author of many books ranging from a dictionary of ridiculous words, to a guide to birds of the Australian Capital Territory, to serious Indological academic texts. I first met McComas when he answered the front door. His son and my high school friend Patrick, had invited our group of friends over for a spaghetti dinner. I was 16 at the time, and little did I know that McComas wasn't a regular Dad… he was a cool Dad.  McComas was one of the first names that came to mind when I was putting a guest list together. After years of hearing him speak passionately on everything from veggie gardens to Sanskrit literature, I knew he'd have something to say about creativity. He shared how he makes learning an ancient and complex language engaging and memorable, and he also challenged my belief that I wasn't good at languages. I couldn't stop smiling the whole way through this interview, and I really hope you enjoy it as much as I did.  ------ Connect with us: -- www.instagram.com/trishjohnstone www.instagram.com/oathandstonedesigns -- www.oathandstone.com.au

fWotD Episode 2432: Koala Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of the featured Wikipedia article every day.The featured article for Monday, 1 January 2024 is Koala.The koala (Phascolarctos cinereus), sometimes called koala bear, is an arboreal herbivorous marsupial native to Australia. It is the only extant representative of the family Phascolarctidae and its closest living relatives are the wombats. The koala is found in coastal areas of the mainland's eastern and southern regions, inhabiting Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia. It is easily recognisable by its stout, tailless body and large head with round, fluffy ears and large, dark nose. The koala has a body length of 60–85 cm (24–33 in) and weighs 4–15 kg (9–33 lb). Fur colour ranges from silver grey to chocolate brown. Koalas from the northern populations are typically smaller and lighter in colour than their counterparts further south. These populations possibly are separate subspecies, but this is disputed.Koalas typically inhabit open Eucalyptus woodland, as the leaves of these trees make up most of their diet. This eucalypt diet has low nutritional and caloric content and contains toxic compounds that deter most other mammals from feeding on it. Koalas are largely sedentary and sleep up to twenty hours a day. They are asocial animals, and bonding exists only between mothers and dependent offspring. Adult males communicate with loud bellows that intimidate rivals and attract mates. Males mark their presence with secretions from scent glands located on their chests. Being marsupials, koalas give birth to underdeveloped young that crawl into their mothers' pouches, where they stay for the first six to seven months of their lives. These young koalas, known as joeys, are fully weaned around a year old. Koalas have few natural predators and parasites, but are threatened by various pathogens, such as Chlamydiaceae bacteria and koala retrovirus.Because of their distinctive appearance, koalas, along with kangaroos, are recognised worldwide as symbols of Australia. They were hunted by Indigenous Australians and depicted in myths and cave art for millennia. The first recorded encounter between a European and a koala was in 1798, and an image of the animal was published in 1810 by naturalist George Perry. Botanist Robert Brown wrote the first detailed scientific description of the koala in 1814, although his work remained unpublished for 180 years. Popular artist John Gould illustrated and described the koala, introducing the species to the general British public. Further details about the animal's biology were revealed in the 19th century by several English scientists. Koalas are listed as a vulnerable species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Among the many threats to their existence are habitat destruction caused by agriculture, urbanisation, droughts, and associated bushfires, some related to climate change. In February 2022, the koala was officially listed as endangered in the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, and Queensland.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:07 UTC on Monday, 1 January 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Koala on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Aria Neural.

Three years after former Liberal staffer Brittany Higgins went public with allegations her colleague had raped her in Parliament House, Australian authorities are still processing whether they were dealt with appropriately.

Today the wigs look at an important threshold question in the criminal justice system; what is the test or legal requirement for bringing a prosecution.  The issue has been highlighted recently in the ongoing ACT inquiry into the criminal justice system.  P.S Listeners can access Shane Drumgolds witness statement and evidence in full on the ACT inquiry website which is online.  In short, Mr. Drumgold says that section 26 of the Magistrates Court Act creates a test of mere suspicion for police to file a criminal charge and that subsequent to that - the DPP applies a reasonable prospect of conviction test.  He makes no mention in his statement of the reasonable and probable cause test.  The wigs note that an absence of reasonable and probable cause is part of the test for malicious prosecution in the ACT.  See ANDREI VATARESCU v THE COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA and THE AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY [2012] ACTSC 96 (15 June 2012).  The Wigs view is that section 26 is to be read subject to the common law and that when invoked by a police officer — reasonable and probable cause is required to charge.  Because charging begins the prosecution process.  In any event, it seems baffling that the DPP himself is unaware of the threshold at which a prosecution in the ACT becomes malicious.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Executive with a Cause, host Tammy Ven Dange chats with Olivia Thornton, CEO of Cricket ACT.   We hear from one of the few female CEOs of a major sporting body in the Australian Capital Territory. Olivia shares her insights into guiding a sport towards the future whilst addressing its past.   Olivia explains her transition from high-performance athlete to CEO and the similarities she's found in building successful teams. She explains the importance of recognising strengths and weaknesses and complementing these skill sets.   As a state body, we learn how Cricket ACT engages multiple stakeholders and partners to achieve its objectives, the benefits of accessing shared services with other state bodies, and the resources of its governing body, Cricket Australia.   Like many organisations, though, Cricket ACT has recognised the relevance of diversifying its revenue streams, and Olivia outlines how she has engaged in partnerships to support this.   We also hear about the challenges of inheriting the financial implications of the National Redress Scheme and how the organisation has implemented policies to ensure a safe and inclusive environment for its community.   Finally, we learn how cricket stays relevant by offering multiple programs and formats to meet changing societal tastes and how organisations need to be resourceful and nimble to manage these changes.
