In this must-listen episode, I sit down with Professor Tony Lawler, Deputy Secretary of the Australian Federal Government's Health Products Regulation Group—home to the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). We dive into the essential obligations that every Australian health professional needs to know when it comes to discussing, representing, and advertising therapeutic goods—whether in their practice, marketing, or online presence. In today's digital world, where our footprints are permanent, it's crucial to stay compliant with TGA regulations. Tony sheds light on the legislation and regulations that affect us all, and what I learned was nothing short of eye-opening. This is easily one of my top episodes to date. If you're an Aussie health professional, this episode is non-negotiable. Listen twice. Share it with your colleagues. We're all accountable to these rules, and as Tony made clear, ignorance is no excuse for non-compliance. Grab a cuppa (or something stronger) and settle in for 45 minutes of essential, eye-opening content.

When the Australian Federal Government announced that it would start a jab rollout in January 2022 for kids aged 5 to 11, Adam Gibson looked around to see what parents would do about it. As a father of three, business coach and entrepreneur with a background in health and wellbeing, Adam could see what was coming – and he wanted to do something about it. Not long after, he sat around a campfire with his neighbours Jon Farriss and Charlie Arnott...and Parents With Questions was born. Parents With Questions is for anyone with a serious question – or many questions – about the COVID jab for children. We're here to support each other to find out more, and to listen to that voice inside us that's whispering, “What if they're wrong?”.

I have to admit, I am a sucker for buying merchandise or ‘merch' as we colloquially say in the land Down Under. Whether it be signed books by authors at their book launch or tea towels from a boutique vineyard on a regional holiday I am handing over that plastic card with joy! Last year, according to  Intelligence Insider, the pandemic fueled rapid acceleration of online buying in several countries that were somewhat lagging—and some of those will continue to see major expansion in 2021. India, Brazil, Russia, and Argentina are all projected to post at least 26% growth in retail e-commerce sales this year. As in 2020, the Asia-Pacific – where Australia is - and North America will lead the regional rankings for retail e-commerce sales this year. China's size population means that the Asia-Pacific will account for 60.8% of retail e-commerce sales worldwide in 2021. North America will claim a 20.3% share, and Western Europe 12.6%. My guest today Gwen Blake has managed branding & design projects for some of Australia's best-known brands. She is an expert in branding and design and has a passion for product sales and entrepreneurism. Today, she is managing director of award-winning Sydney-based branding and packaging design agency, Boxer & co., and the author of a book on packaging design, Packaging a Punch. Gwen orchestrated the branding behind dynamic serious journalists turned podcaster duo Annabel Crabb and Leigh Sales' successful podcast Chat 10 Looks 3. If you listen to the podcast, like me, it is peppered with shout-outs to Gwen! She consults with them to develop and manage their merch business. At the time of the Australian Federal Government leadership spill in November 2018, Gwen created a meme of a canvas bag with the words ‘Ban the single-use prime minister' – that was a big moment for her business. She gained quick and widespread media interest and sold thousands of these bags from a company that she literally started overnight at her kitchen table. In this podcast, Gwen explains: In 2018, you were basically an internet sales sensation when I like many bought your ‘Ban the Single Use Prime Minister' tote bags (and coffee cup) in the wake of former Australian PM Malcolm Turnbull being sacked, after many years of a rotating door of leaders. Tell us how you came up with the idea and how it generated you $50K in a short time? How quickly does an idea need to turn into merchandise ready for sale to be relevant? Tell us how you came up with the branding for the popular podcast Chat 10 Looks 3? Is there a ‘secret sauce' formula to market test before producing items en masse? Share your process! Take away: What is your final takeaway message for us on The Politics of Merchandise?

Emergency access to superannuation granted by the Australian Federal Government during the COVID-19 pandemic has triggered a discretionary spending spree for some Australians, who are splashing cash on some shockingly non-essential items - gambling, alcohol, apps, luxury fashion items, and takeaway food. Roughly 3m Australians withdrew almost $36 billion from their super accounts under the COVID-19 scheme. This is sharply contrasted with what happened in Canada where Canadians continue to be subject to withholding taxes on retirement funds removed from RRSPs unless the funds were taken by home buyers or lifelong learning. In the USA, the Federal CARES Act, made it easier for Americans under age 59½ to access the funds stashed in eligible retirement accounts – Americans were entitled to take out up to $100,000 from eligible retirement plans without incurring the usual 10% early withdrawal penalty and they were given up to three years to pay the tax liability on the money removed. While it's hard to get an official estimate on how much money was withdrawn early, both Fidelity and Vanguard reported that roughly 3% of their customers drew down on their retirement savings due to Covid. Best estimates suggest that roughly 4.530m Americans withdrew something close to $22.65b in retirement savings. Let's come back now to a quick summary of what the funds were spent on – and to do that I want to highlight some research conducted by the advisory firms Alpha Beta and Illion. What this research shows is that the overwhelming majority of those dipping into their retirement nest eggs have increased spending on lifestyle items, rather than using the cash as a lifeline for rent, utilities, medical expenses, or groceries. According to this research, those who drew down on their superannuation (the Australian retirement income scheme) increased their spending in the next fortnight by $2,855: Australians used this money to increase their spending, not to maintain prior spending levels 14% to repay personal debts 64% of spending went on discretionary items such as clothing, furniture, restaurant food, gambling and alcohol 40% did not actually suffer a drop in their income so far during the COVID-19 crisis 21% saw an increase in their income of more than 10% but drew down anyway Men and women spent the funds differently: Men – gambling was at the top of the list Women – fashion items topped the list Supplied: AlphaBeta/Illion   These statistics are disturbing. They highlight a couple of things: On average most individuals did not have enough money in their savings account to sustain themselves (household) more than 2-3 weeks when the pandemic hit Australians in particular demonstrated low levels of financial literacy – their decisions to remove money early from superannuation significantly impacted their future retirement savings (by tens if not hundreds of thousands) AND the money was largely spent on discretionary items that were not needed to sustain themselves during the pandemic   While I can relate to the fear factor as 2020 was a highly uncertain and frightening time with Covid 19, it disturbs me that millions of Australians felt they needed up to $10,000 (for whatever reason), and they seemingly: had no understanding of how to raise those funds via other means or what the actual impact would be on their future retirement savings if the amount were withdrawn early Bio: Derek Condrell is the co-founder of mSmart, a world-class software program that projects investment values so that you can confidently determine whether you will have enough income to retire when you want to. Rather than guess, or make bad decisions because you have no idea what the impact of a withdrawal might be, fintech innovators like Derek are working hard to create products that give you a very clear picture, help you make better decisions and avoid disasters just like the one likely to be faced by roughly 3m Australians who stripped money out of their retirement savings because they didn't know better. Financial Foreplay® Highlights: Early withdrawal may very well make sense in extreme financial hardship or a medical emergency. Spending varied greatly depending on the age bracket – over 38s tended to use the money more wisely while those under 38 gravitated towards discretionary spending Most people are simply not evaluating the impact BEFORE they actually decide to withdraw and largely that is because there is no easy way to assess the financial impact of the withdrawal on the end lump sum or annual retirement income. Lump sum is a much more dramatic, headline grabbing amount but it fundamentally makes more sense to focus on the impact on annual retirement income – and this should always be done in present day dollars to put some relevance and context around the numbers. Even if you made the mistake of withdrawing early, there are ways to make it up now: Via over-contributions (which are taxed much lower than your marginal rate) By shifting the mix of your portfolio from default (which is where most people are) to growth/equity. Please consult your financial advisor as you are much more likely to get advice that is tailored specifically to your needs than if you guess, use Google, listen to a friend etc. Tailored advice is always preferable to generic advice.  MSmart Example: Get in Touch: Email – Derek@msmart.com.au Website - www.msmart.com.au  

The sexual abuse of a child is extremely confronting and something many of us find difficult to talk about.
