Industrial action at eight of Wilmar's sugar mills in North Queensland was over before it began after Wilmar Sugar and Renewables threatened to lock any workers taking part in the action out of the worksite. It follows almost a month of industrial action from three unions, which have been in deadlock with the sugar processor.

Ben Davison takes a look at some of the stories form this week that Insiders missed given their focus on the Middle East. While the situation in Israel and Gaza is horrendous, Ben gives a brief synopsis, there is lots happening in Australia. The new National Skills Agreement is a win for the Australian Education Union, workers and employers who will benefit from the $30 billion investment in TAFE including another 300,000 fee free places in 2024. 1,400 United Workers Union diary workers took a 48 hour strike this week, AMWU members in Tasmania took action, NTEU workers took actions in Victoria and Queensland while AWU and MUA members stood up against a multinational gas giant and won! Join your union at australianunions.org.au.wow The Albanese government has introduced laws to increase paid parental leave from 20 weeks to 26 weeks between now and 2026. Ben discusses why this isn't just good for new mothers but for all Australians. This week also saw the most important High Court judgement about state and federal tax powers in over 50 years as two EV owners managed to get a Victorian road user tax ruled unconstitutional and opened the door for billions in state revenues to be struck down. Ben discusses what might happen next and why we need to engage with the potential reforms that will emerge.

The AWU national secretary hits back at Agriculture Minister Littleproud's record on representing workers in the horticulture sector and the minister's comments on Flow about on how closely connected union leaders are to farm workers, the Minister saying they needed to get closer than '30,000 feet above them flying over them'.
From Radiator Springs road repair jobs to a mobile electorate office this week, Dr Webster is hitting the road and encouraging a union boss to join her to hear farmers' labour shortage concerns first-hand after the AWU's landmark horticulture minimum wage result on Monday

The former Agriculture Minister also talks with Rikki on Flow about the High Court voiding the Abbott-Turnbull-Morrison Backpacker Tax and response to the AWU's comments on 'greedy' employers looking to exploit farm workers
Ben Davison is back with the Weekend Wrap looking at how Morrison's Nuclear sub deal is blowing up Australian jobs, threatening trade relations with China and the EU and resulting in the only European power that cares about the Indo-pacific region withdraw their ambassador from Australia and the United States (their oldest ally). But we will now get eight instead of 12 subs. In 2040. And "that fella", as Biden calls Morrison, has only had to part with $90 billion of our taxpayer funds to make it happen. Morrison's more immediate problem is Christian Porter. The embattled cabinet minister is facing daily calls to resign over the revelation that he received an anonymous million dollar donation. Morrison's Finance Minister, Simon Birmingham, took a grilling over it on the ABC show Insiders today and refused to either support or condemn his cabinet colleague in a masterful display of how to avoid demonstrating any values while looking than his own government's climate action policies. Pro-Covid fascist recruitment rallies were held again this weekend with over 200 arrested and 10 police officers injured. Australia's COVID vaccination rate has hit 37% but the impacts are not just case numbers as 13 people died in NSW. 10 of which have died before hitting average life expectancy. 84% of Victoria's cases today were under 50. Worker have had wins to round out the week with 360 AMWU members at Cadbury taking action to see those who have been "casual" for 10 years offered ongoing work, UWU member's at Dulux voted unanimously to reject a sub-standard deal and AWU members at Bluescope Steel have won $5,000,000 in back pay that will see some workers take home $45,000! It pays to be union.

The Alphabet Workers Union is a major turning point in a long history of worker organizing and activism at one of the world's largest tech companies. To understand this new force and what it's fighting for, we spoke with AWU's Executive Vice Chair Chewy Shaw and former Google employee and tech labor organizer Meredith Whittaker.

Reprogramming Labor In Tech More than 6,000 warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are midway through voting on whether they should unionize. If the ‘yes’ votes win, it would be unprecedented for the company: The last time a unionization vote was held by Amazon’s United States employees, back in 2014, a group of 30 technicians ultimately voted not to join the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace workers. Meanwhile, at Google, a group of more than 800 have recently joined the Alphabet Workers Union, which was formed in early January. The AWU is a minority union, a kind of union that cannot negotiate contracts. But, the union has said, they will still be able to advocate for workers who would be excluded from a traditional union, like the temporary workers, contractors, and vendors who make up more than half of Google’s global workforce. And in the world of app-based gig workers, a debate has been raging for years about whether Uber and Instacart workers are full employees with rights to overtime and collective bargaining—or contractors, which have neither. In California, state law has changed twice in the last year to try to answer this question. SciFri producer Christie Taylor talks to legal scholar Veena Dubal, and historian Margaret O’Mara, about this rise in union activity, and the way tech companies have impacted our lives—not just for their customers, but also for their workers. Fish Versus Feather: Georgia’s Salt Marsh Smackdown At Science Friday, we love a smackdown, whether it’s a debate over which mammal has better sonar—dolphins versus bats—or which planet is the best to host signs of life—Mars or Venus? But when it comes to fish versus birds, we don’t need to manufacture drama. Nature gave us its own. Corina Newsome, a graduate student at Georgia Southern University, was studying how seaside sparrows adapt to nest flooding, an environment where the most likely predators are animals like minks and raccoons. That’s when she caught on film a very unusual interaction: A fish entered a sparrow’s nest, and killed one of the new hatchlings. Newsome joins Ira to explain what she saw, and how climate change is helping to turn the tables on this predator-prey relationship. The Neuroscience Behind Seeing Color The basic mechanics of how we see color sounds simple enough—light hits an object and bounces into our eye. Then, our brain processes that information. But how we perceive color is much more complicated. Neuroscientist and artist Bevil Conway is mapping out how the neurons in our brain respond to color to make a neurological color model. He explains how color might encode meaning, and the plasticity of our visual system.

Den 4. januar præsenterede en række Google-ansatte en ny fagforening, Alphabet Workers Union, der i princippet skal dække de over 250.000 personer, som er ansat i Googles moderselskab, Alphabet. Foreløbig er der dog kun nogle få hundrede medlemmer, men ikke desto mindre er AWU superinteressant, fordi det er en af de første foreninger af sin slags for medarbejderne i de store techfirmaer. Vi ser på foreningen og på hvordan den slags ser ud, set med danske fagforeningsøjne. Der bliver dog også god tid til at tale juleferienørderier i denne årets første DataSnak, hvor vi både hører om gaming-pc'er, digitale fotosamlinger og andre projekter, som har optaget værterne siden sidst.

In this episode of By Any Means Necessary, hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Dr. Jack Rasmus, economist, radio show host, & author of 'The Scourge of Neoliberalism,' to discuss his new article, "What Happens January 6th, 20th & After?," why he sees the January 6th 'circus' of right-wingers descending on Washington, D.C. as a central part of the fight for the Republican Party, and why he thinks 'the real problem' isn't Donald Trump but his 70 million supporters.In the second segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Chris Garaffa, editor of TechForThePeople.org to discuss the newly-formed Alphabet Workers Union made up of Google workers, why the workers felt the need to form a labor union, and how resistance to the US government's intrusive "Project Maven" artificial intelligence project ties into the workers' increasing awareness of their collective bargaining power.In the third segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by journalist Alan MacLeod to discuss his recent article "Fingers Point to US-Backed Gov't in Colombia's Ninetieth Massacre of the Year," why it appears left-wing former combatants are being targeted almost exclusively, and how the bipartisan US government support for the Colombian regime facilitates the deadly violence.Later in the show, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Dr. Jared Ball, Professor of Communication Studies at Morgan State University, the curator of imixwhatilike.org, and author of “The Myth and Propaganda of Black Buying Power,” to discuss the activation of Wisconsin National Guard ahead of the announcement of whether the police officer who killed Jacob Blake will be held legally accountable, why it seems establishment Democrats only "engage Blackness on the foundations of popular culture," and how the increasing racialization of the two major parties in southern states points to the need for alternative political possibilities.

Today we are here with Elizabeth Kipp, who is an author. She is a health facilitator regarding, you know, stress, chronic pain management, addiction recovery, meditation, yoga, ancestral clearing. I mean, she is so well versed in healing arts. She also has a plant based plant science Bachelors of Science degree. So it's not just the woo woo that she does. She did. She incorporates and integrates both sides in order to take people from their painful lives and and help them. So she's written a book called The Way Through Chronic Pain Tools to Reclaim Your Healing Power. *Episode Highlights* *Elizabeth* [00:02:55] Specializing in chronic pain. I'm really focused all on all the things I do are focused on the chronic pain audience. There's a lot of us and most of us don't know even what that is. They don't we don't realize we have chronic pain, but we do. *Ari* [00:13:02] We're getting agreed. OK. We're getting agreement. Good. So now imagine that that heat is producing an inflammatory response, which is then causing your nervous system to go huh. Something's going on here. What's going on? I better send some signals to some brain chemistry to start sending things to check that out. Immune response. All of a sudden, the immune response goes. There is some heat here, we got to cool this down. Let's do our thing to heal whatever's going on. So I'm bringing attention to a body part that has an issue, whether you knew about the issue or not. And now that heat is causing an inflammatory and a chemical response in the area. And this is how I began the process of bridging the gaps between science and science, medicine and woo woo alternative and a great breakdown. *Elizabeth* [00:17:21] And there were 20 of us in the room to some just say you says, what are you doing to cause your pain? What are you doing to contribute to your pain? What are you doing? To contribute to the pain is how you put it. And that's what I said. *Elizabeth* [00:20:58] I went and had the train, first training I could get to, and I became its ancestral clean plantation practitioner right out as fast as I could because it was so powerful. It was amazing, you know. Yeah. So words are powerful. Prayer is powerful. It's very specific. And and I could get into it, you know, on another time. But I do teach this stuff now, and it's amazing. *Ari* [00:21:22] Absolutely. You know, one of the things that as a therapist that I studied a lot of is somatic responses to trauma and how the emotional trauma is stored in the body. *Ari* [00:21:43] And I do a lot of work with. Emotional release through somatic trauma. So somatic therapy, so, you know, I know that you do as well. *Elizabeth* [00:29:20] Oh, we have to do the work. Ari. We have to do our own work on it. I don't just do the work. I'm in the work. I do the work. *Ari* [00:29:29] So this is, you know, for for other practitioners. And, you know, even if you're a person who has a family member or a friend who is going through stuff for the trauma, the trauma that the person who holds the trauma. *Ari* [00:43:31] Yeah. No, absolutely. I'm a science geek. You'll you'll find me in a corner for fifteen hours researching scientific papers because I started with one and I said, oh, I don't understand this part. Let me go look at that. I don't understand this part. Let me go look at that. Oh, I don't understand this. Let me go look at it versus gone by and I don't know where I am or who I am or what I've done. All I know is I'm filled with all this new information that I could then take and put to the side and use for some really awesome podcast conversation. *Resources and Links* * *https://elizabeth-kipp.com* * *https://CreateANewTomorrow.com* * *https://www.facebook.com/arigronich* *Full Transcription* *Ari&Elizabeth.mp3* *Ari* [00:00:01] Has it occurred to you that the systems we live by are not designed to get results. We pay for procedures instead of outcomes, focusing on emergencies rather than preventing disease and living a healthy lifestyle. For over 25 years, I've taken care of Olympians, Paralympians, A-list actors and Fortune 1000 companies. If I did not get results, they did not get results. I realized that while powerful people who controlled the system want to keep the status quo. If I were to educate the masses, you would demand change. So I'm taking the gloves off and going after the systems as they are. Join me on my mission to create a new tomorrow as a chat with industry experts. Elite athletes thought leaders and government officials about how we activate our vision for a better world. We may agree and we may disagree, but I'm not backing down. *Ari* [00:00:50] I'm Ari Gronich and this is. Create a new tomorrow podcast. *Ari* [00:01:03] Welcome to another episode of Create a New Tomorrow. I'm your host, Ari Gronich, and I have with me again Elizabeth Kipp. I had to talk to her longer and deeper because we just did a quick interview last time. And I was so intrigued with the things she was saying that I wanted you to hear them all. So, Elizabeth, welcome back. I'll give you a little bit of a of an introduction. You've been in the healing arts for most of your life on both sides. All right. You are you're certified and many forms of healing. You have a B.S. in science. You know, you bridge the gaps between the medical side, the AWU side and the alternative health side. And you do so in a way that is with such grace. So welcome. Thank you so much for coming back. And, you know, just give the audience a little bit of what you do. So, you know, just the technical. Here's what I do and here's why I do it. *Elizabeth* [00:02:16] Thank you so much, Ari. And I appreciate the opportunity. I'm a health facilitator and I call myself that because I'm not doing healing. I'm really just kind of a guide because everyone is their own healer. You know, your greatest healer lives inside of you. That would be the one message that everybody could go away with if I had a TED talk. That would be the mantra I'd want to walk out with. Right. So certainly for your podcasts, you're your greatest healer. I'm the facilitator. So I call myself that. I am an addiction recovery. Yoga informed addiction recovery coach. *Elizabeth* [00:02:55] Specializing in chronic pain. I'm really focused all on all the things I do are focused on the chronic pain audience. There's a lot of us and most of us don't know even what that is. They don't we don't realize we have chronic pain, but we do. *Elizabeth* [00:03:13] It's hard to clear when we don't really know it, we're even ill. *Elizabeth* [00:03:18] I teach yoga, which built from a trauma informed perspective to help people in chronic pain. And and I also do this thing called assisted clearing, which is of another modality which is very useful to help us clear patterns from the past, negative, unhealthy patterns from the past, be it our past in this lifetime or the lifetime of our ancestors. *Ari* [00:03:48] So that is a it's a fascinating thing, you've done an ancestral clearing on me in the past. There's almost a year ago, actually. And. You know, it's funny because when we take genetic tests nowadays, we can see the expression of our genes. How they're being expressed into the world, the epigenetics and. When I did hear that, when when you facilitated the clearing with me, I then went back and did my genetic test again and it the expressions had shifted and changed. So this is where I like to bridge the gaps between the two. Because somebody will hear ancestral clearing. How can we clean clear what's going on? *Ari* [00:04:39] Well, it's in your DNA, you know, it's in your genes. What was going on? One hundred, two hundred, three hundred years ago in your family tree is in your genes. And so we express those genes out. And. *Ari* [00:04:57] And so taking the ancestral clearing to a whole new level of, you know, from from what people would consider to be woo woo to the science of it is there is a lot of science that says our genes can be reprogramed if we can clear out the traumas and pain. So when we talk a little bit about that. *Elizabeth* [00:05:21] Sure. Yeah. Love to one of my favorite things to talk about. *Elizabeth* [00:05:27] So your time at epigenetics and the way I really break the genetic part of it down is there's the hard wiring. We can use that analogy, skin color, hair color, eye color. Unless you've got a hair colors and or you've got, you know, contact lens, there's nothing going on. And then there's the soft wiring, which is things like whats might be controversial, some people, but but still haven't figured out a gene for alcoholism, for instance, or addiction. *Elizabeth* [00:06:02] They found a predisposition. *Elizabeth* [00:06:05] That's epigenetic, but how we relate to the environment. So we come in kind of like with this hard wiring and these switches on the outside, which is software, F.B., meaning outside on the gene that there's switches there on on off switches. *Elizabeth* [00:06:22] And depending on what happens in the environment, depends on whether it's which is on or off. Sickle cell anemia is another good example. It's it's helpful in Africa, not so helpful in the United States. So it's just this environmental and this environmental thing. And I would challenge the audience. Now, I've been in this for a while, so. So bear with me. But I would challenge the audience to say to ask them, how do you think we get resilience built into the system? Trial and error over hundreds and hundreds of generations. Resilience is built into the system. All right. So that's a good thing. It's built in genetically. Everybody can kind of see that, right? And what happens with trauma that goes unresolved, with hurt and anger and resentment and the aloneness and grief? That gets baked into. So when we're born, we come in with the joys and the challenges of our ancestors. On a very real level, you know, it kind of sounds weird, but if you really think about it, what did they go through? I know you can. I know people will resonate with that. I'll give you an example how it turned out for me. Just a really quick one. Absolutely. My parents were both in were bored, too. *Elizabeth* [00:08:01] My mom was a nurse and they in in England. And my dad was in the in the Pacific. And they both experienced trauma and they had no idea what to do with any of it because remember, the culture was deny and no pain. No gain. Right. Yeah. *Elizabeth* [00:08:20] Yeah. And and so they carried the trauma because they didn't know what to do with the body. Keeps score. Right. Bessel Vander Kux work. The body keeps score is totally real. So they come back from the war. They get married, have two kids, my brother and I. *Elizabeth* [00:08:38] I remember being four years old. And consciously asking myself what is happening here? *Elizabeth* [00:08:46] I knew there was this dark shadow. And today we would call it the elephant in the room that nobody wants to talk about. Yeah, I could feel it. It was a heavy this heaviness, my brother. I could feel it. I didn't know what to call it. I didn't know what to do about it. But I felt it right. I didn't know about any of that until I actually had an experience of ancestor clearing. And. And I was able to release it. And I was like and I felt lighter. And I was like, oh, my goodness, this is amazing. Right. *Elizabeth* [00:09:20] So I'm really I'm still amazed. *Elizabeth* [00:09:22] I've acted in this work for six and a half years. I do it every day somewhere on the planet with somebody, you know, virtually in person, whatever. And it's still floors me. *Elizabeth* [00:09:33] It's so beautiful how people can just drop their stuff. So, yeah, that's just a quick example. *Ari* [00:09:39] Yeah. You know what? I love marrying the Woo with the science. And I'll give you a quick example of how I did that at the beginning of my career. I was 18 when I started going to school for becoming a therapist. And three months into my schooling. I had I was running the clinic and I thought, we need to have more people in our clinic. We need more more patients to see so that the students can get more experience. And our school backed up to three companies, major companies, Intel, Nike and Tektronix. This is in Beaverton, Oregon. And I said to myself, self, I think we should just take our clinic to them so they don't have to go anywhere. Let's just take the clinic to them. And I started three and unwittingly, unknowingly and, you know, whatever ing I, I started three of the first corporate wellness programs in the country. Awesome. And those programs are still alive. I don't know to what degree at this point. They're still alive, but they're still alive. Those companies still have them. But the thing was interesting is because are engineering companies, two of them, somebody a Tektronix asked me because I was I kept they kept walking by me with these motherboards that had been recently tripled tested. And they'd walk by me with them. And all of a sudden on their last quality control test, they would not be working. And the only thing that they could see different was that they walked by me. And so they ended up having to plug me into their ground, both at my ankle and my wrist. So while I was working, I was plugged in. And somebody asked me, one of the engineers who was in his mid 50s, I would imagine. And he asked me, what is this Reiki thing that you're doing? And I thought about it for a minute because I knew that he wouldn't understand if I described it to him the way my teacher described it to me. And so I thought about it for a second and I said, well. We know that the Palms produce infrared heat. Right. This is the the majority of the wavelength that we can measure is an infrared wavelength. And we produce more of it in our hands and our palms than anywhere else on our body. I said we can measure this. Right. This is this is a measurable thing. And the engineer said, yes, that we can we can measure the wavelength. I said, OK. So we also know that infrared wavelengths penetrate the body. Two to three inches. Yes, we know that. OK, got that. OK. So if I put my hand near your body in a very specific place in organ, for instance, and I hold it up, I'm still admitting that infrared wavelength. Correct. Yes. OK. So we got agreement. *Ari* [00:13:02] We're getting agreed. OK. We're getting agreement. Good. So now imagine that that heat is producing an inflammatory response, which is then causing your nervous system to go huh. Something's going on here. What's going on? I better send some signals to some brain chemistry to start sending things to check that out. Immune response. All of a sudden, the immune response goes. There is some heat here, we got to cool this down. Let's do our thing to heal whatever's going on. So I'm bringing attention to a body part that has an issue, whether you knew about the issue or not. And now that heat is causing an inflammatory and a chemical response in the area. And this is how I began the process of bridging the gaps between science and science, medicine and woo woo alternative and a great breakdown. *Elizabeth* [00:14:01] That's a great breakdown. *Ari* [00:14:03] I thought pretty good, you know, and the belief started to get there, and so if you're if you're in the audience and you're going, well, this is all just woo woo. Well, it's not. Nothing operates inside of a vacuum except for scientific lab studies because they isolate components, as you were saying before, they isolate things. Right. And so there's an entire world of healing. So tell us a little bit about four for you, how you got into your. You're a science person and you were having issues and then all of a sudden you go to somebody and he says there may be a better way. And you were like, oh. So tell us a little bit about that. *Elizabeth* [00:14:50] I was that what you might call a Sacred Bottom? I had surrendered just like I knew that if I was going to continue taking the opiates and the benzodiazepines that they had prescribed me, that I was going to die. *Elizabeth* [00:15:02] So and I and I and my life with them was, you know, I had was having panic attacks. I was sick all the time. I couldn't eat. I would just love life. Quality of life was was was was was was unacceptable. *Elizabeth* [00:15:20] Dr Peter Prescott is pain management program and. He knew he knew chronic pain is why he was trained. So he really knew he he knew kind of going in what was going on with me more than I did. Actually, I was. It was surprising. And anyway, he helped me detox off the medication. And I'll tell you kind of a little bit of what happened in there. I walked into the room. I was wheeled into the room because I was so sick, I detoxed off that bed. I was detoxing for 10 days off that medication, and I was very weak from that. So I was in a wheelchair and they wheeled me into the room. There's 20 other patients just like me. I didn't even know there were 20 other people that had. They were just complicated. Been in this much pain. And all this time I didn't even know that. So that was cool just to see that, you know. But I didn't know who they were. And I'm sitting there minding my own business, trying to just keep it cool and just keep myself together in the room. Dr. Peter says, don't judge the moment. And I will tell you what happened in my head. I didn't say it out loud, is what the conversation in my head. Dude, I'm just sitting here minding my own business, I'm not judging anything. And it was kind of like, how dare you? So you can see my hackles were up right away in defense. Right. And I knew he I knew he had the floor and I knew he was the doctor in the room that I had to listen. And I was there. Listen to him. So, you know, but I. I had that attitude, you know, within three minutes, I realized he was talking about my pain. Don't judge your pain. Right. Don't judge the moment. And I'm like, oh, my God, I've been judging. My pain is bad my whole life. No wonder I'm in chronic pain. Right. And then he says. *Elizabeth* [00:17:13] And to ask a chronic pain patient, this question takes a lot of guts, man. *Elizabeth* [00:17:21] And there were 20 of us in the room to some just say you says, what are you doing to cause your pain? What are you doing to contribute to your pain? What are you doing? To contribute to the pain is how you put it. And that's what I said. *Elizabeth* [00:17:42] There were like five words for me, because my my perspective at that point was it's happening to me. I'm the victim, right? And he was like, you know, this is not all about that. There's our behaviors are driving our biology. You know, no doctor ever said that to me. *Elizabeth* [00:18:11] And and I because he'd already proven himself to me with don't judge the moment I listen to the next one. I didn't like it, but I listened to it and I started to cause I already realized I'd been judging my pain. *Elizabeth* [00:18:26] So I knew I was contributing to my pain, at least by judging. Right. So I learned a lot about about from him. About what I was doing to contribute to my own pain. And I wrote right about that in the book because it's so important. The other thing that happened was, was John Newton walked in. He was working and in pain management at that point. He walks in the room and he hands out this piece of paper and it's in English and it's just one piece of paper. And I knew about power words in Sanskrit. I was aware of that. *Elizabeth* [00:19:02] I didn't know so much about English power words other than NO the kind of stuff I didn't know anyway. *Elizabeth* [00:19:09] So it's an English. He says to everybody, what's your pain level zero to 10? You know, in intensity. And everybody in the room is like eight to 20 is the number they gave. Right. And mind sitting entity. My gut pain was terrible at that point. [00:19:26] And. [00:19:28] You said, I want you to read this silently. And so we were started reading it silently. I can halfway down the page and I felt the room shift. Energetically, I felt something change in the room. And unlike what just happened, and I thought and I thought in my head, I thought, Elizabeth, you're detoxing. You just imagined that, you know, and. Right. I didn't trust my own experience. And then I felt my pain start to shift. And it went from like an eight to a two. And I'm like, well, I know that's real. And then by then we were finished reading the prayer. *Elizabeth* [00:20:09] It was a prayer in English. Very specific. *Elizabeth* [00:20:14] And I've never seen anything like this before. So I had my science hat on and I'm observing and noticing and feeling and all at the same time. And he says John says, what's everybody's pain level zero to 10. And everybody's eight and below. *Ari* [00:20:29] Wow. *Elizabeth* [00:20:30] I was like, oh, my goodness. And this is the convent and I didn't say a word, but this is the conversation in my head. What just happened here? I know something happened. *Elizabeth* [00:20:41] I want to know what it is. Is it measurable? Can he can be duplicated? *Elizabeth* [00:20:46] And does he teach it. Really fast? And the answer to all those things was yes. *Elizabeth* [00:20:55] And so when I got out of treatment. *Elizabeth* [00:20:58] I went and had the train, first training I could get to, and I became its ancestral clean plantation practitioner right out as fast as I could because it was so powerful. It was amazing, you know. Yeah. So words are powerful. Prayer is powerful. It's very specific. And and I could get into it, you know, on another time. But I do teach this stuff now, and it's amazing. *Ari* [00:21:22] Absolutely. You know, one of the things that as a therapist that I studied a lot of is somatic responses to trauma and how the emotional trauma is stored in the body. *Ari* [00:21:43] And I do a lot of work with. Emotional release through somatic trauma. So somatic therapy, so, you know, I know that you do as well. *Ari* [00:21:57] Some of some of that kind of thing and have that philosophy. So tell me a little bit about your experience with people who have massive emotional traumas and how quickly they can clear. Using sematic methods of therapy vs. talk therapy. And it's not time to make talk therapy. Wrong. It's just not as quite as optimal in my in my experience or view. Having done it. For hundreds of hours. As the sematic therapies. *Elizabeth* [00:22:41] Well, that's a great question. And I will just say here that as part of the ancestral clearing process is a present saying to sensation. So hugely important. So it's it's this sweet blend. There's word medicine. We call I call word medicine. And and then there's there's presence that the client's presence in themselves to the body. They have to be able to do that if you can't be present. You don't you get help, but you don't get as much of an effect. And there are some people who I've had some clients who are are so affected by trauma, they can't actually be in the present moment. So they're there. They are shifted. They get some help, but they don't shift a lot. How fast somebody can can can shift in from a lot of trauma just like that. And so if it comes off in layer's. It really depends on who the person is and what the circumstances. The thing is, is that it's all possible. *Elizabeth* [00:23:49] So I it's a little bit of a loaded question because it's not that everybody's a little bit different, which I think your experience probably is, too. *Ari* [00:23:58] And I ask it in a loaded way, because, as you know, you know, I came to you to do some clearing of some emotional traumas. And, you know, I always feel like there are people that make it easier. *Ari* [00:24:20] There are therapists that can make it easier and therapists that can make it more difficult. And as a therapist, the thing that made what you were doing so much easier for me was how present you were with my pain. *Ari* [00:24:39] And. And not trying to fix, but rather continually stay present, nonjudgmental about the pain that I was in. And, you know, I'm sitting here, I always like you judge the crap out of my trauma's and out of my pain. Right. I was raped when I was three years old that I still judge myself for that. What was I putting off? That would cause me to be in that situation. I was three, you know, but I still I want to take responsibility. And so I never learned necessarily how to take that responsibility and not be in blame. And there's a lot of people that are in the same kind of positions with the same kind of traumas, rapes, molestations, sexual traumas, as well as physical trauma and emotional being bullied. You know, that was a trauma. And I always judged myself harder than I would judge any. I'm so present with my clients. Right. And so able to be in their pain, because I've experienced that level of pain that you were able to be present with my pain, without the judgment, without the blame, without the what? Who knows? What are you doing to contribute, but not as a blame factor. So, you know, let's kind of delve deep into that. *Elizabeth* [00:26:14] I would like to say thank you for the for noticing all that, because that's a that's kind of. It's a it's it's something that we really try and curry to really cultivate that I actually have a practice because I you'll probably have some health practitioners on on here. And this might be helpful for them. I actually have a practice that I use that helps me in that space. It's very simple. But I actually practice it when it's not simple. So that I can really do it when it with the clients. It's really just being super present. Some of your listeners may know it as equanimity. Where you just sit super still and whatever comes into your sensory field, you notice and you just it just comes in and goes out. You're you're just taking stock. You're just noticing, that's all. And it's it's a skill. Here's where it gets hard. I have a I have a hair trigger striped startle response. You know, just because of my own past trauma. So when I'm in that practice and a police siren comes by rumor, right? You know, I do this. I'm judging the moment. I'm reacting. Right. So the practice is to come back to neutrality and let it pass through. So. *Elizabeth* [00:27:49] I used to, I used to I used to go to sleep with crickets and owls and frogs and stuff. Right. And but I left that life a few years back, and I and I live in an apartment and right outside my bedroom window are for heating and cooling systems for the whole building. So when I go to sleep at night, it's like, you're right. *Elizabeth* [00:28:09] That's when I first got there. I was like, how am I supposed to sleep here? *Elizabeth* [00:28:15] And I'm like, Elizabeth, do your practice? This is the perfect time to do your practice. So I, you know, noticed I was being reactive and I came to neutral and I, you know. And so that's my I of course, I don't even notice them anymore. But the idea is to practice with something where you're reactive and bring yourself back to. *Elizabeth* [00:28:36] This pause blank space and then you can sit opposite somebody. *Elizabeth* [00:28:44] Absolutely blank. I mean, your your the thing is, I feel it, but it doesn't stay in. It just it moves through. It's not mine. We're just helping. We're just in. I'm just in a position where where I'm helping you, guiding you, the client to process their own stuff. That's all. Yes. *Ari* [00:29:05] But it's not that that's all because I've been to a lot of therapists and most of them get uncomfortable. With my pain, because my pain triggers their pain. Right. *Elizabeth* [00:29:20] Oh, we have to do the work. Ari. We have to do our own work on it. I don't just do the work. I'm in the work. I do the work. *Ari* [00:29:29] So this is, you know, for for other practitioners. And, you know, even if you're a person who has a family member or a friend who is going through stuff for the trauma, the trauma that the person who holds the trauma. *Ari* [00:29:49] Saying to them things like, well, you shouldn't be depressed, you've got a great life. *Ari* [00:29:55] Things like, you know, what are you complaining about, look at what you've got. You're adding to the problem. *Elizabeth* [00:30:04] Oh, yeah. *Ari* [00:30:05] If you're able to sit with them in your uncomfort with their pain. The result that you'll gain from just sitting in that space with them and not trying to fix them and just being. *Ari* [00:30:24] Just being present with them is going to offer them so much more, resulted in result benefit than the possibility of a fix. Right. And so, you know, we as a as a population kind of have to get over ourselves and say. You know, this is uncomfortable, your pain is really uncomfortable for me, but I take you know, I listen to a lot of therapists and they'll say, you got to get rid of toxic people out of your life. And I think nobody is a toxic person. *Ari* [00:31:04] People have maybe suboptimal beliefs or suboptimal results in ways of being. But they are not inherently toxic. The uncomfort ability that people feel within their own cells causes them to want to and try to fix other people. When, as you said at the very beginning of this, you are a facilitator, not the healer. You just are there facilitating their own healing in themselves. And the idea is you've done enough work on yourself to be comfortable in with somebody else's pain without taking it on yourself. That's the other lesson. You don't have to take on their pain just because you're sitting with them in it. *Elizabeth* [00:31:57] That's that's true. And I would add as a caveat to that. I'm not judging discomfort is bad. I'm just noticing that it's their. *Elizabeth* [00:32:12] Because I am you know, I do feel we're all, you know, where people say, oh, I'm an airhead. Well, you know what? Humans are empathic. That's our nature. *Elizabeth* [00:32:21] Some of us are just more awake than others. You know, some of us are just more awake than others, that's all. So that's I'm just kind of putting that out there. *Elizabeth* [00:32:33] It's just an. *Elizabeth* [00:32:35] It's just important, too. Oh, I'm feeling discomfort. And that's OK. I'm not. I'm just noticing. And that's very powerful. That's going ducted. Don't judge the moment. That's that's it right there. So I'm feeling discomfort and it's OK. And I'll go take it right back to another other thing nobody said when I was growing up. Pain is part of healing. *Elizabeth* [00:33:04] That's not the way I grew up. Every time a child hurt themselves or gotten sick, the adults rushed in to like, you know, fix the situation as soon as possible. Stop the crying. Stop the pain. You know, fast as possible. It was just this big emergency around all of it. *Elizabeth* [00:33:22] If I got a cold, I got in trouble because I had a cold and. And I would be put to bed and then the doctor would be called and we would doctor's orders. And the doctor was very nice. *Elizabeth* [00:33:31] But it was there was all this energy around it, you know, this intense. We have to make it stop kind of stuff. Nobody ever just said to me pain is part of healing. [00:33:42] And yet, you know, when we break a bone, it hurts for a while until it's healed. It's part of the healing. So not judging. And I would say, Ari, and you may have noticed this yourself. When a practitioner sits across from a client and the client is healing and they're just present and they're, you know, it's like we're talking about it's not sticking your feeling. But it's not sticking in there, just present. The practitioner and the client both get healed. *Elizabeth* [00:34:14] It's that kind of space. *Ari* [00:34:16] Yeah, absolutely. To tell us a little bit about go off subject of that subject for a second and come to your book The Way Through Chronic Pain. And what are some of the tools that you have put into that book to reclaim your own personal healing power? *Elizabeth* [00:34:42] Well, what is where's the responsibility lie for our healing? You know, so so this is the way I I put it. I give 20 percent of the responsibility for my healing to all the other health care practitioners. All health care practitioners out there, doctors, nurses, physical therapists, alternative healers, all of them, 20 percent. The other eight percent mean God, higher power. *Elizabeth* [00:35:14] You know, cosmic energy, source, energy, whatever you want to call it. There's something that created all this stuff. Whatever you want to name it really doesn't matter to me. We've been arguing about it for like thousands of years, what to call this thing. But it hits. It's something, you know, me, and. *Elizabeth* [00:35:29] That thing, 80 percent. So really important that doctors can set a bone. They can't tell the body how to heal. Something else is at play there. We need to respect that so we follow doctor's orders. That's part of the 20 percent, right? And that's they give the orders. Then it's part of the 80 percent of mine is following doctor's orders. And then also following my own inner inner knowing about it. So I don't know if then insisted. Well, that's one two right there. *Ari* [00:36:03] Yeah, that's one of the tools and the fact that that I'm not a a religious human being. I've studied way too many religions, too, to ever follow anyone. But I am a very spiritual human, human being. And, you know, the world doesn't make sense without some kind of an organizational planner, you can call it that. It's an organizational planner that created the organization of the universe. I definitely have, have listened to that advice and. The way that I do some of that and I'll just go by my tool and then I'll. Well, we'll go into some of your other tools is the way that I do that for me is a lot of mirror work and by mirror work, I am staring at myself alone in the mirror. And I actually have one that I could pull up and I could lay in bed and look at it too. So I don't have to just be in a bathroom or, you know, a big mirror in some other place. I could be comfortable, but I will get that mirror and I'll look into my eyes until I start falling in love with myself. And through that, I go through all the things that I don't love about myself. Right. Whether it's, you know, the colors of my cheeks that always have seemed a little too rosy for me or, you know, the little tags or moles or wrinkles that I'm starting to develop. *Ari* [00:37:47] I go through what are all the things that are blocking me from being the one for me? *Ari* [00:37:55] And to me, when I look in my eyes, I can see the universe. You know, this is a tool that I've used a lot over the last year, year and a half, as I've been recovering from a major personal trauma. And it's one of the tools that I've used for years. But that is for me and I hope that, you know, I tell I tell my clients, I tell everybody who I see get in the mirror and do the work because that's the 80 percent. And then go to somebody. You don't have to do everything alone. But you're never alone when you're with yourself and God and the universe and spirit. And so, you know, it's the scariest thing a person can do, I believe. More scary than being attacked. More scary than going to war. Is. Looking in that mirror for the depth of your soul. And being OK with who you are. *Elizabeth* [00:39:00] I love that story around that, by the way. I love that's a very powerful exercise and I'm really glad you brought it in. *Elizabeth* [00:39:08] Though I was given an assignment to look in the mirror, it was part of an overall course that I had and he would bring in these lovely she kind of love missions and he would bring these love missions and. It's Tommy Resonantly Recovery 2.0 is his coach coaching Macovei coaching. Amazing guy. So. He brings in this look in the mirror exercise, and I'm like, Tommy, give me another assignment. I'll just get milk. Not that one. So I want to in the next one. And the thing is, I'm enough of an overachiever to like that kind of thing would bug me. And I'm very serious about my healing, looking away. As somebody who's trying to heal. Is we do that, our Aperol looking away. *Elizabeth* [00:39:54] That's what we're trying to get over. Looking away stuff, right? So I'm like, OK. Come on, Elizabeth, let's get let's get to it, you know? And I'm like, what is the problem? You know, I was sitting there. What's the problem? I don't know. I just don't want to do it. Whenever I look in the mirror, I pull myself together. I'm like, we're going to do this, you know? And I look in the mirror and I can't hold my own gaze. And I'm like, what is going on here? *Elizabeth* [00:40:26] And here I ask this question. Elizabeth, you're looking at yourself. *Elizabeth* [00:40:31] What could possibly go wrong, you know? All right. *Elizabeth* [00:40:39] Because I was like I was so sure the other shoe was going to fall and something was going to happen. I just I was in that state, you know, I was in like I'm in so much trouble. I'm im threatened. *Elizabeth* [00:40:50] There's nothing threatening about that, but my nervous system was certain that it was threatened. That was an exercise where I had to retrain the brain. Right. We have old patterns, right? Is that running our program and we need to retrain. So I took that. Three minutes. 40 days. Every day. Hold the gaze. See what happens. I don't know how much you know, how long you did it, but my practice is three minutes every day, 40 days. And it was amazing. And I did learn to love myself. *Elizabeth* [00:41:22] And I got over all my stuff around. I'm not enough. You don't like the way I look at all this. *Elizabeth* [00:41:27] Whenever a thousand things,. *Ari* [00:41:29] That whole thing, I'm not enough that that is a very common expression and experience of humanity. *Elizabeth* [00:41:39] It's also very old. We come by it honestly right now. *Ari* [00:41:43] Thats what I'm saying it's one of the fundamental flaws in the human design. Is this thing that we're not enough. And when we think we are, we must be a narcissist or a sociopath. Right? *Elizabeth* [00:41:59] Well, I would take it back to the biology here for me, and I'd like to do that. I'd like to bring it down to like, well, how do we even get this way when you look at it in terms of evolution? How could this how could this thing have been helpful to us? *Elizabeth* [00:42:13] Remember, were the way can we think it works anyway? We want to survive long enough to be able to pass our genes forward into the next generation. So we were built to survive. Not so much to thrive. For us to do this work that we're doing that's thriving. And that's we're actually evolving our programing. So why would that be helpful for us? That that I'm not enough? Because it helps keep us safe. We're always looking for the threat. Now that that may be, you know, keep up the stress us out and stuff, but we're made for that. You know, we're made for the stress. I just think we die young when we're like that. *Elizabeth* [00:42:57] But I always like to take it back to the biology and say, how is this serving from a biological point of view so that I understand my own programing. You know, that's the value of me as a as a clinician anyway. I'm not really I can't. I don't have, like, a masters in social work or anything. I can't hold myself, but I. But I am I do I do this beautiful coaching practitioner work and I and I bring the science in because it's really important that we understand the sort. The psychology is important too. But that hard wiring is important too. *Ari* [00:43:31] Yeah. No, absolutely. I'm a science geek. You'll you'll find me in a corner for fifteen hours researching scientific papers because I started with one and I said, oh, I don't understand this part. Let me go look at that. I don't understand this part. Let me go look at that. Oh, I don't understand this. Let me go look at it versus gone by and I don't know where I am or who I am or what I've done. All I know is I'm filled with all this new information that I could then take and put to the side and use for some really awesome podcast conversation. *Elizabeth* [00:44:12] Well, it's a it does take time to integrate all that stuff. But you know what? If you've taken all that time, you'll integrate it into your healing work and it'll be beautiful. People benefit. *Ari* [00:44:21] Yeah, absolutely. And, you know, that's been something I've been really blessed to be able to do, is look at a research paper and understand it and go, OK. Now, how does this apply in life? How does this apply to my clients? How does this apply to, you know, anywhere that I needed to to apply it to? And just answer your question. I did. As many hours at a time as was required, so during during this last couple of years, car accidents and divorce and different things that I was going through, I. I spent. Probably a good 100 hours in front of the mirror, sometimes in a row, three, four hours in a row in front of the mirror, screaming, wailing, crying in a ball fetal position. Just, you know, releasing as much as I could possibly release in that moment. Until the next moment. Until the next moment. Until the next moment. And at one point I've had I'm going to preface this. I've had 28 friends in my life that were close friends that have killed themselves. And wow, my first attempt at killing myself, I was nine. Brother has attempted. I mean, this is an ongoing it's always been in the background of of my life. And at this point. I was staring in the mirror and I just said, either fucking do it and do it now or shut the hell up. I don't want to hear this talk ever again from you. And I'm looking at myself in the mirror, and I basically gave myself a challenge and an ultimatum. Either do it. Or shut up about it and get it out of your system. And I don't recommend that for people in that way. But you get the kind of feeling of where I was at with this mirror work was if you are so weak in yourself. And this was you know, again, I'm somebody who's I consider myself very strong. I've lived through a lot of trauma, a lot of multitudes of different kinds of traumas and in my opinion, come out on the better side. But if what you want to do is end every good thing that you've ever done in this world, then be weak and take the easy way out and do it now, because otherwise we're going to get into some hard stuff and the next life and we're gonna go through all of it now. And that was another. Realm of three plus hours of screaming and crying before there's almost an eight hour day work day of of screaming and crying in the mirror until I was like, OK, I have too much good to offer this world. To lose hope in the moment because of a thought or a situation. And that was a real turning point for me in in my recovery of the of that trauma. That doesn't mean it's gone. It just means that it is no longer the predominant force. *Ari* [00:48:08] That is ruling my life. And so that could be the power of that mirror work. And I just wanted to answer you because you asked me, you know, about the hours, that amount of time I would spend, and it wasn't 40 days straight. There's probably a good year straight. And it was. In some cases, extremely intense and powerful. And hard, and it was nothing I would want anybody to witness necessarily, except for to know that what is possible for them if they're in that place and, you know, we're in this weird life in world that we are in right now. And I just saw another post from a friend of mine that a 16 year old boy committed suicide because of the isolation that we're in. And, you know, I. I wish for people. To have that way through their chronic pain, both physical and emotional, mental, spiritual. And so we'll get back to some more tools that you have. I just wanted to express that to you, that some of that was after and some of it was before you and I worked together, so. *Elizabeth* [00:49:32] Hopefully, we were able to get you to a deeper layer. You know, because a lot of that stuff, if you're not if it's not yours, the charity we release, then, you know, then the rest is. What you're left with and my experiences is that we're always working on the current layer. It's the work is there. It's there's no there's no there there. It's only here. *Elizabeth* [00:49:58] What's here? *Elizabeth* [00:50:01] Which is another tool, by the way, that's being present. *Ari* [00:50:05] The here and now? *Elizabeth* [00:50:06] Yeah. Yeah, I would also say because people sidestep it. The presence is very important and so is the breath. It's like they'll say to me, it can't be that simple. And I'm like, yeah, it can. Your judgment. It can't be that simple. It's blocking blocking the the process here. Yes. It can be that simple. It's just that this is not the way we learned. I mean, you know, I was like for me it was like, why didn't I learn this in like first grade or prekindergarten? Why is it this is so basic? You know, you would think. Right. Just conscious, breathing, just long, deep. I mean, I just bunch of different ways you can breathe. And I talked about him in the book. But just long. Even inhale. Exhale. Is huge. Most of us are shallow breathers and, you know, this the the alveoli, which are the the parts of the lung that actually are where the gaseous exchange takes place, the oxygen in and the CO2 out there. Most of them are at the base of the lung. So we're shallow breathing into just the upper part of the lung. And we wonder. And so we were getting this. The cells are not getting oxygen. You're getting a buildup of CO2 and other toxins that are coming out of the system into the lung that are not being exhaled properly. And we get brain fog and we feel ungrounded and we wonder what happened and what happened is we're not breathing correctly and we you know, that's why, you know, you just stop and we might even be a little bit anxious and you just stop and long, deep breath breathing nice, long exhale and then start that deep breathing and seven or eight of those long, deep breaths, you're gonna be a different person. *Ari* [00:52:03] You know, because you're doing a rescue, that the oxygen cells are getting fully oxygenated and you're releasing all that toxins build up in the base of the lung. You know, you're getting the system to work and we work again. We do have a body that needs attention mind. *Ari* [00:52:21] Absolutely. You know, one of the things that I that I used to tell corporation, I still tell corporations all the time when I when I would do wellness protocols is you have to get your people up out of there, see at least two to three times an hour. And the reason I like, let's say the anatomy, we're Sitting bent. Right. And so we're pushing our lungs and our diaphragm up into our lungs. So if you take a deep breath, you can take a really deep breath while you're sitting and you'll feel how much oxygen you can pull in. And then if you stand up and take another deep breath, you'll feel it's almost double the amount of air you can pull in. And just as a natural breath, let alone taking a deep breath. And so if you're not getting up, you're going to get that brain fog that you just mentioned. And you're not going to have the oxygen exchange. And the oxygen exchange is what delivers nutrients to the cells. And so if you're eating food, even healthy food and not breathing, those nutrients are not going to make their ways to the cells they call lungs in Chinese medicine. *Ari* [00:53:41] The breath of life because you're breathing. Enjoy your, you know, exuberance, acceleration. You know, it's all these words have to do with breath and lungs. And so learning to breathe properly, which sounds really funny to probably some of the listeners, right? Learning to breathe properly is a new thing for this side of the world. It's not a new thing for that side of it. You know, the Asian cultures. They do a lot of things around breath. The Indian cultures, Native American cultures, as well as India, Indian cultures. Right. But that is it's so important. And I really appreciate you bringing that up. That breath is so important. And, you know, you've heard it. You've heard it. People. You have heard it. Take 10 deep breaths. So when you're really angry, it's, you know, before you before you explode on the person that you're angry with. Right. Get road rage. Take ten deep breaths first and then see how you feel. *Elizabeth* [00:54:51] Yes. And I would encourage. Beautifully said. And I would encourage everyone to breathe diagrammatically rather than paradoxically, which is when you inhale, fill the belly and when you exhale, push the arm with your abdominal muscles versus I used to breathe. *Elizabeth* [00:55:09] Paradoxically, my abdomen would come in when I breathe and it would go out when I exhale. So, you know, just make sure that your belly is a you're filling your belly and your diaphragm is being filled, your belly is being feel on the inhale and then you use those abdominal muscles to help push that ear out. That's the way you breathe. Take ten of those and see what happens. *Ari* [00:55:31] Absolutely. Just help your mental state. That that's going to help your organs, actually, because when you breathe, that's a you're literally squeezing those organs, kind of like giving them a massage, really does them to detoxify and work better as well. *Elizabeth* [00:55:49] So. Right. Yeah. *Ari* [00:55:51] Talking to you. Thank you. Get more tools. *Elizabeth* [00:55:54] Well, I we've just come into movement. Body wants to move. I like any idea, you know, any movements. Good. And walking in nature. So walking. It's important like a lot more than we do. Sitting is not optimal. We're not really animals that are evolutionary. We're not made to sit and hard on. So us. *Elizabeth* [00:56:19] So we need to. Which is this muscle that goes from the way up into the spine and in part of the diaphragm down into the leg. And it needs to be stretched. *Elizabeth* [00:56:31] Right. So we get hunched over because the sore as this is short and it causes all kinds of health problems. And I know you know about that. *Ari* [00:56:37] Oh, yeah. *Elizabeth* [00:56:40] So movement. So she gone Taichi. I do yoga. I happen to like you know, I like yoga. And I like could restyle yoga because it's very good for cutting through are bad behaviors are unhealthy, not bad. Unhealthy behaviors is very good. It kind of cutting that program and helping us build new ones. It's very fast. But all the postures of hopping yoga are within kundalini yoga. *Elizabeth* [00:57:05] Songhai, do a little bit of Ashtanga yen, you know, kind of a nice tool kit of that yoga is really just all about. For the listeners. There's 80 different isomers postures in yoga. The idea is to find a comfortable seat in one of them. Just one. *Elizabeth* [00:57:25] So it's not like we have to do all these flusters, we just want to be able to succeed. We can do one well. It's also very good for clearing trauma. Not good Kundalini. I teach Kundalini. But I teach some other kind of yassa type yoga. It helps it helps the body release. And it's done very carefully so that we're actually working on parts of the body that we know. Hold stuff. And we. We help you. We help you stay there just long enough so that it actually release and you'll feel better. It's pretty cool. And we also work on the vagus nerve. A lot of that that the breathing, the chanting and some of the Pasha's will work on. We'll work on the vagus nerve to Tone, it too, which gets completely dysregulated when it's when it's in chronic pain and in trauma. *Elizabeth* [00:58:17] It just. It's just doesn't know what to do. *Ari* [00:58:21] And you know that I was talking to to Dr. Joe Esposito on another episode and he started talking about the vagus nerve as relates to the blood brain barrier and the nervous system and how it attaches, you know, gut to brain. There's such a thing in the nervous system that. *Ari* [00:58:45] If you are able to calm that system and go from the sympathetic to the parasympathetic and partially the breathing that you were just mentioning helps with that process for the vagus nerve. All of a sudden, your thoughts become more clear, the traumas. Don't become obstacles or they're not paralyzing obstacles. They're just a challenge for you to get around. And it completely can change your perspective on the world. And, you know, we're going to end this call because we we've been talking a long time. And I could talk to you probably for another two or five hours. But I want people to walk away from listening to these conversations that we're having and have actionable things that they can do to shift the perspectives of the world. And right now, the perspectives of the world are really defined in extremes. *Ari* [00:59:58] Extreme belief on one side or extreme belief on another side? And when I have found that I'm able to calm my system through breath. Pain goes away, but also my perceived notion of the obstacles tend to go away and the extremes become less extreme. And I'm more balanced in my thinking and I can have nuanced thought. Critical thinking, common sense comes back, right? *Ari* [01:00:36] And we have been media and social media and media, Ed, into the state of adrenal fatigue, where we're being traumatized by what we watch and what we listen to every second that we watch that TV or we go on to that Facebook or we listen to the echo chamber we're in. *Ari* [01:00:57] And so. Normally, I ask you and I'm going to ask you as well. But what can you do? Actionable steps that you can do to shift and change your personal world. And one of them is get off to social media more often and into the garden, into nature, into a place of peace and calm, where you can allow yourself. The experience of nothingness so that your brain and your adrenal glands can relax and then you can actually start asking yourself questions. That. Are more about the optimization of your life rather than the reaction to the events going on in your life. So that's my. One actionable step that you can take right now. Elizabeth, what kinds of things? I know we've gone over a lot of tools, but if somebody were were to be listening to this and they're to take away. One, two, three things that are actionable steps that they can do immediately that would have the most impact on them. What would those things be? *Elizabeth* [01:02:23] Well, I would you know, again, don't judge the moment, which is in these days is kind of tricky. It's a practice. And also the breath cannot be underestimated. You talked about being in extremes, the breath is the bridge. To neutral. So we're in, this bipolar area, and we want a triangle, so we're we have a foundation. We don't have a foundation where we've got this bipolar thing, but when we have a third position, we have stability. The way to get there is to bring in the breath. You just you just talked about how that works. It gets us to neutral. It takes the brake vagus nerve. It takes it out out of the threat system, it helps calm the body. It works mind, body and soul. So profound. And the other thing is. I am very careful about what I bring into myself in terms of stimulation during the day. I'm very careful about social media and and news and stuff like that, conscious. It's a conscious determination on my part and I notice how I feel when I'm when I'm viewing something. And if it's and if it's a. If it's not good for me, I'm not I'm not hiding like I'm not hiding from the truth. It's not about that. It's it's just give me the facts. But don't give me a lot of drama around it. I don't need that. No. So especially nowadays. That's what I would suggest. *Ari* [01:04:02] Go back to Dragnet. Just the facts, ma'am. *Elizabeth* [01:04:04] That's right. Just the facts. I don't think they do that anymore. *Ari* [01:04:10] No, the police does not do it. Don't do that either. The media doesn't do it. As soon as as soon as we allowed the news to become a commercial entity versus a nonprofit entity, we stopped experiencing facts and only opinions. And it's really a shame because I remember some of the great newsmen of my childhood. You know, I miss those guys. And they're impartial and that. And that's the way it was. *Elizabeth* [01:04:44] Yeah, that's right. Right. *Ari* [01:04:46] So anyway, thank you so much, Elizabeth. How can people get a hold of you if they'd like to, to find out more about how they can experience some of the amazing blessings that you give? *Elizabeth* [01:04:58] Thank you.

Welcome to Finance and Fury, The Furious Friday Edition Today, the episode is delving a little deeper into superannuation I Work as a financial adviser – see a lot of changes to the legislation of superannuation since I joined the industry in 2011 – Today - Episode on my theory of superannuation from a viewpoint you might not see anywhere else History of Super – From 1970s - superannuation arrangements were in place were set up under industrial awards negotiated by the union movement – nothing like currently – they were union/company run 1983 - A change to superannuation arrangements came - through an agreement between the government and the trade unions Called “Prices and Incomes Accord” - the trade unions agreed that their members (workers) forgo a 3% pay increase to instead direct into the new superannuation system – important point of forgoing salary increase – come back to later This 3% was also matched by employers' contributions the employees' income – Though there is general widespread support for compulsory superannuation today, at the time of its introduction it was met with strong resistance by small business groups who were fearful of the burden associated with its implementation and its ongoing costs – still – passed anyway due to union support Created 6% in total for union/Government workers – but didn’t exist across the board yet 1992 - the Keating Labor Government - compulsory employer contribution scheme became a part of a wider reform package - "Superannuation Guarantee" (SG) contributions Why? Reasoning of Australia, along with many other Western nations, would experience a major demographic shiftin the coming decades, of the aging of the population, and it was claimed that this would result in increased age pension payments that would place an unaffordable strain on the Australian economy. The proposed solution was a "three pillars" approach to retirement income: compulsory employer contributions to superannuation funds, further contributions to superannuation funds and other investments, and if insufficient, a safety net consisting of a means-tested government-funded age pension. The Keating Labor Government had also intended for there to be a compulsory employee contribution beginning in 1997-98, with employee contributions beginning at 1%, then rising to 2% in 1998-99 and reaching 3% in 1999-2000. However, this planned compulsory 3% employee contribution was cancelled by the Howard Liberal Government when it took office in 1996. By 2002-03 - Howard Government - The employer SG contribution was allowed to continue to rise to 9 Limited employer SG contributions from 1 July 2002 to an employee's ordinary time earnings Before this – no cap in conts The SG rate was 9% from 2002-03 to 2013-14, when the Rudd-Gillard Labor Government passed legislation to increase SG contributions to 12% by 1 July 2019 - originally intended by the Keating Government in 1995 – but got strong opposition and replaced by Howard Abbott Liberal Government deferred the start of this planned increase to the SG by six years, from 1 July 2015 to 1 July 2021. The SG rate has since 1 July 2014 been- from 9.5% and in July 2021 the rate is planned to increase by 0.5% each year until it reaches 12% by 2025. Super Today – has grown massively – increase in compulsory contributions, being tax-effective, and strong market growth It is massive – Estimates show it is likely cracked the $3trn mark as of last month – ASX is about $2trn – remember that every super fund has money in ASX products – so even assuming a 25% = $750bn of the market cap = 37.5% of ASX Massive inflows as well - $120bn p.a. of employee/member contributions The Australian industry superannuation funds is under fire for re-investing funds into questionable investments, to benefit related parties ahead of the investor. Thus, a conflict of interest exists with the parent entity re-investing funds into funds related to the parent entity. Thus the best rate of return is never sought out, and the bank or entity investing the money is not seeking the highest rate of return. Money in certain investments now is a concern - Debt - Bonds – Corporate and derivative position – repo markets Property – Build to rent schemes – especially for Gov buildings to occupy using tax payer funds Index – buying into markets and pushing prices up – for no fundamental gains Most non-self managed funds only provide very minimal information to the account holders about how their money has been invested. Usually, only vague categories are provided, such as "Australian Shares", with no indication of which shares were purchased. This makes the fund's management largely unaccountable to their members. Examples of legislation or policy changes that work against you – political/fiscal or monetary policy bank accounts Fiscal is taxes – where super in accumulation and now pension if you work and below 65 = taxed Also – money available to buy government debt to fund their expenditure Monetary is QE and having Where is also gets more corrupt - Who started super? Labour – but Liberals have helped it too – so it is a joint political effort But super is not all made equally – think super industry all gets along? Current political battlefield in my opinion Industry funds – Their investment options managed by them, control of flow, or at least who the money is given to for investment management WRAP platforms and SMSFs – ones outside of political control/backing You decide where the money goes – not the default option almost everyone is in with Industry super MySuper -default offering based around your age – used to be balanced across the board – but FOFA and stronger super reforms changed all of this These came from a campaign created by a Genuine politician - Bill Shorten – Shorten was elected to the House of Representatives in 2007 - was immediately appointed a parliamentary secretary – had almost a few years’ experience in the union Shorten was elected as the AWU's national secretary in 2001 and was re-elected in 2005. He resigned as Victorian state secretary of the AWU in August 2007. He was also director of the Superannuation Trust of Australia (now Australian Super) and the Victorian Funds Management Corporation. Any guess who some of his largest political donors were for his elections? AWU made $25k, but AusSuper made $25,500 to AWU just before – all of this happened in 2006-2007 just before his first run into politics Shorten - Assumed office in 2007 – became minister for financial services and superannuation, assistant treasurer and Minister for Workplace Relations in the Gillard Government in 2010 – Took him 3 years – must have been impressive – after graduating from Arts/Law degree – worked as a lawyer for 20 months then left to become a trainee union organiser. Worked his way up in the unions until becoming Vic state security in 1998 – where he remained until taking office in 2007 Corruption internally as to where super funds are invested – Publicly – buying Gov bonds – might get a gov job later/funded for office – or vies versa Privately - Example of how this would play out – Say you are a board member, and some business/share or property area you have a financial interest in would benefit from an investment/boost to demand = direct the funds there – Aus Super is very transparent when it compares to other Aus industry funds – go to the end page One area they don’t disclose so well is private equity – they tell you the private companies but not the amounts Regulation changes under FOFA – Insurances of fofa – super v non-super IP Financial advice regulations – Allowed for banks, industry funds and product providers to continue to make money of their products for recommendation, but banned any other adviser have the same opportunity through nil-entry products Im all for this – Advisers shouldn’t get it – charge for a service provided – as opposed to poaching wealthy clients with $1m+ to make 3.3% on placing their money - but nor do I think industry funds charge management costs through investments if it is being outsourced, who charge their own costs (as an ICR) Also – nepotism in construction projects – safe secure investments into Government buildings which the tax payer pays for – Bris is a good example - Cbus invested – Super funds used to pass the borrowing/construction financing costs to the investors – without disclosing it – now it is at least disclosing, but not included in the costs of the investment directly - More recent 2019 election campaign - Shortens proposed legislation changes Franking credits – split in who gains the benefits – in pension phase, SMSF or WRAP gains 100% of benefits – but in unitised structures, tax offsets go to the overall fund – so the returns while not taxed, will be lower on FF income Trust taxes – potential to destroy SMSF structures – as they are non-unit in structure Just saw that every bit of regulation went to help the industry funds, while hurting accounts where you can control your funds. The Government will likely continue to intervene with the super industry – lots to gain and may ways to do it Tax side – easy on the fiscal budget – already done a bit – the introduction of tax in super – increase in taxes on contributions for those earning more than $250k (30% instead of 15%) Consumer protection - Losses to the superannuation funds from the global financial crisis have also been a cause for concern, said to be around $75 billion. Initial financial discussions determined that the Australian economy would be at risk if citizens were allowed to immediately access and withdraw Superannuation, further confirming the belief that mandatory Superannuation may not be a viable long-term fiscal management tool. This was compounded by a lack of proper industry regulation, allegations of fraud and financial misconduct and a host of other issues currently plaguing the industry as a whole - "Thousands of superannuation fund members defrauded in Trio Capital scandal" A sudden outflow – say people could access and just withdrew – markets could collapse – as billions if not trillions may flow out And create other bubbles – like in property – reallocation of resources Summary Lots of money flowing in – likely yours – Pays to know where it is – and be aware of what powers that be have in plan for your super money The inflow of SG - https://www.superannuation.asn.au/resources/superannuation-statistics Thank you for listening to today's episode.

Welcome to Finance and Fury the Furious Friday edition. This is part 4 of the mini-series. Hope you all had a good Christmas. In the last episode, we talked about how the population is mobilised in a political spectrum. Today we talk about what the population is currently being mobilised for: Australian politicians/interest groups - the idea of the “fair go” Australia’s last four prime ministers have all used the term at some point. (Hard to keep track of them now) Rudd used it on Howard’s WorkChoices reforms. Gillard said it in “we are the people who hold onto mateship and the fair go” Turnbull used it when saying “We have a very unique culture in Australia and we have a very good mixture of capitalism and the free market, but we also have a culture of fair go, of looking after each other.” What is this ‘fair go’? Well it’s impossible to associate the idea of the “fair go” with any precise meaning. It is essentially whatever the person using the term regards as fair or just from their frame of reference. Genius in this is it takes individual perception and weaponises it Plus the government assumes a lot of responsibility for looking after each other. It’s an easy solution for us if someone else will solve the problems in society Do we have a problem with fairness? What is fair? The definition: “treating people equally without favouritism or discrimination” Does this mean the same rules for all? Or same position and outcome? It depends on the definition The definition in society is using the egalitarian flavour to look at fairness and justice (Fair go) Concepts at a basic level: egalitarians agree that all citizens have their basic needs met Infrastructure, healthcare, education, ending extreme poverty. These are good and have beneficial social consequences. Providing everyone with equal access to these resources. Equality of opportunity is also regarded as another important requirement of “Fair Go” This means that all citizens should have the same chance to develop their natural abilities, regardless of their backgrounds, this is great. It’s shown in Western countries through the measurement of mobility of wealth In 2007, Andrew Leigh did a study on Australia. The conclusions were that Australia has a higher level of mobility than the US, which is extremely high. The study looked at inheriting wealth vs self-made wealth. “in the United States, the heritability of income is similar to the heritability of height. Australia, income is only about half as heritable as height” Housing as an issue. Housing for all, but how do you solve inequality when it comes to housing? Bill Gates has a very nice house, so to take away his equality of opportunity, gates no longer allowed in his nice house. This is the implementation of equality of outcome. Does this sound fair? Income distribution is another issue. If ending poverty is the goal, then we have already succeeded in that. But, is ending poverty the goal? Or equalising incomes? Some take the idea further and suggest it requires an equal distribution of resources (equality of outcome) Income inequality vs poverty, there will always be inequality in equal opportunity Australian relative poverty rate is over 26% of population (before taxes and transfers), Falls to under 13% after taxes and transfers. The relative poverty rate has been between 10% and 14% of the population since 2000 (where the poverty rate is set at 50% of median income) Poverty is measured by the middle-income amount halved. So for 1 – 5: the middle point (median) is 3 Halve it and get 1.5. If every quintile was the same income spit, then this would be the poverty measure If the median is the same as average? It shows equality in distribution. The average of 1-5 = 3, 15/5 What is the line here? The disposable income of less than $400 per week for a single adult (changes) or about $22,612 annually You can increase poverty under this measure by using disposable income first. The more equal things get, the more the baseline measurement for poverty gets. I had a look at the incomes and halved everyone’s income in the bottom 80% and gave it to the top 20% This gave a median of $393 = $197 (or half) base. So as things get more equal, the relative poverty rate increases. This is ridiculous. Stats are easy to represent nothing of meaning, which is part of the reason disposable income is used. Under these statistical representations, the greater equality in Australia produces more poverty. This is due to a higher median being used. Absolute poverty: A Comparison from the Australian Welfare Report 2017. Those who can’t afford to buy set basics in country This is currently 3.9% of households in Australia. Known as the “deep exclusion” zone Decreased massively! In 2001 it was 13%, which is a 70% drop since 2001 to 3.9% of the current population In 1973, the relative poverty mark was $62.7 p.w. That is a growth in the measurement of 4.5% p.a. but ‘absolute poverty’ has still decreased If it had grown with inflation for 45 years at 2.5% it would = $191 in today’s money and not $400 How long do they stay there in absolute poverty? Well, about 70% are out the next year Those who didn’t make I out, the remaining 30%? Well, about 63% are out the next year. This shows how mobile wealth is in Australia. Sadly it gets painted that the 4%, who seem to be a current average, struggle year on year. Why? What they share in Common ‘disadvantages’ It all comes down to unemployment, where half of all Australians aged 15+ in poverty Health-related/disability about 11.2% Highest Education Year 11 or below Higher chances of dependence on government income support and public housing Look at extreme poverty $1.9USD p.d.. in the 1950s: world population of 2.5bn, 1.8bn in extreme poverty and 700m are not 1970, world population of 3.7bn, 1.5bn not while 2.2bn are in extreme poverty Today, world population of 7.5bn, 700m in extreme poverty and 6.8bn not. So, over the past 50 years, extreme poverty levels dropped (as a percentage of population) by 85%. Real reason poverty dropped so heavily is China (a fairly socialist nation) adopting some free market principles, like property rights It was government policies to create equality that put them into poverty. Why isn’t this obvious? Surveys from the US and Canada show only 8%, and from the UK only 12% believe extreme poverty has reduced, 60% think it has gotten worse Comes from the narrative that things aren’t as good as they are, and that’s due to inequality Why? Inequality and poverty have been changed in how they are represented Measurement: the Gini coefficient where 0 has complete equality in incomes and 1 has complete inequality. Measured by the Lorenz Curve: Square with a line from the corner from bottom left to top right. On the bottom line, break it into quintiles of 20% each Australian disposable household income, the Gini coefficient today is 0.352. After redistributions, it’s 0.22 which is very equal Concern: Increasing - the Gini coefficient in 1980 was 0.2 – 0.309 in 1995, 0.334 in 2010 But what else is increasing? The overall wealth! Absolute poverty has dropped Population ages: More people in age bracket 35-65. So there’s a general trend to earn more later in life In 1980, 21% fewer people of prime earning age, which has shifted the stats Fair is in the eye of the beholder. Are things being unequal fair? It depends on the cause, inequality is a by-product of freedom But what is being done under the Fair Go Action Plan to fight this: Policy list and outcomes A Look at Labor and Fair Go Action Plan. Only Focus on 3 of 5 ‘campaigns’ Ease pressure on family Budget Give workers a tax break of up to $1,063 each year, instead of giving handouts to the top end of town. Great for cutting tax, but what are the handouts to the rich? Tax cuts as well? Level the playing field for first home buyers by reforming tax concessions for property investors so they don’t have an unfair advantage when purchasing existing homes. I’ve talked about this a lot already. Check out ep 114 – 9/11/18 on Housing Policy ‘Existing Homes’ is still an unfair advantage for new properties End the Medicare Freeze and addressing rising out-of-pocket costs and keeping healthcare affordable Affordable for who? There is no free lunch. There are two situations – What happens when the tax runs dry? Force doctors to work for free (no doctors), or cap prices resulting in worse healthcare Over 25 years, since 1989 the cost of the system has gone up from $50.3bn to $154.6bn in 2014 (in real dollars – i.e. accounting for inflation) Partially due to age and size of the population, purchasing parity expenditure. Spending of 124% increase, started using more as the system is essentially free under Medicare. Cap private health insurance premiums, with increases capped at no more than 2 percent for the next two years. Fewer benefits and worse cover for people. Insurance companies won’t lose money on this, but you will Better regulate power prices with a new regulated capped offer protecting families and small business from price gouging by big energy companies. This creates a price ceiling and some rolling blackouts. Look at past ep what happens when prices capped Stand up for workers Restore penalty rates to deliver fair pay for up to 700,000 retail and hospitality workers. ‘fair’ pay, is when work is completed fair? Certain industries do well when people aren’t at work Crackdown on dodgy labour hire. Ensuring labour hire companies must provide workers the same pay and conditions as those employed directly Labour hire companies go out of business as they must pay temp staff the same as directly employed employees. Close the gender pay gap, taking action to deliver equal pay for equal work by forcing big business to report on their pay gap publicly. Already law to pay equal amounts and companies already have to lodge their pay gaps Making companies post these as well cannot do any good Build a stronger economy that works for us all Make multinationals pay their fair share and close the loopholes exploited by multinationals and stop profits being stashed away in tax havens. Good luck with this, if they wanted an effective way they’d lower the company tax rate and incentivise companies to pay tax here Wind back the excesses in dividend imputation and end cash refunds on share dividends for investors who don’t pay tax. This isn’t going to hurt the ‘wealthy’ but it will hurt a lot of people. Non-industry super (pension environment 0% tax) and Industry super already doesn’t do it Lower income pensioners E.g. Retired 20 years ago, no super, saved for own retirement No aged pension as $50k of cars and home content, $800k of investments so they fail the asset test Income from shares (5%) - $40k, split between the couple. Inc FC = $57k assessable $3,794 tax payable – Net income of $53,350 No Franking credits - $40,000 (can vary depending on market, e.g. TLS) Compare to a couple with $0 - $35,916 p.a. in Aged Pension Cap deductions for use of accountants with a maximum $3,000 deduction for using accountants to prepare personal tax returns. Achieves very little as the ultra-wealthy have companies/trusts to pay for accounting Close loopholes used by the top end of town to stop the use of family trusts to avoid paying fair share of tax The ‘top end’ well who is it? It’s lots of people. They have investments for their family. But there are no loopholes, it’s just redistributions. Tax is still paid somewhere. Fair share is convoluted. How much should they pay? These are honest questions Reverse Morrison’s tax cut for millionaires, ask the top tax bracket to pay a little more so we can pay down the Liberals’ debt in a responsible way. Touché on the debt point: Liberals haven’t done great on this but it seems a little rich coming from Labor though Top Tax Brackets: About 4% of the population, next bracket down is 6%, so a total of 10% of the population Already paying 52% of total income tax. Plus, additional taxes for consumption (GST, Stamp Duty) Remember the Gini coefficient for income equality? What about tax equality? 0.7 when looking at tax paid, which is not very fair when income is at 0.35 – Remember 0 is pure equality Do these really help? Will it make things equal and fair? I know it has been a heavy episode, so here's a quick recap Easing budget pressures and standing up for workers. They all help to achieve their goal, but everything has a consequence Destroying competition and free market forces can lead to worse off living conditions Does this build a stronger economy? All of these were ways of getting more money out of people Nothing in it that helps companies, which is heartless right? What if business was the main focus? Hear me out 10.6m people employed in Australia, 1.9m public service and 8.7m in companies (82%) More legislation won’t help wages grow long-term, forcing it doesn’t make it sustainable Create wage growth with an increased need. If there are lots of companies that need skilled labour and there isn’t enough supply, then wages go up 2.1m companies in Australia and over 97% are small business, 2.4% are medium (20-199) and 0.2% are large (200+) Greater competition between companies and greater services as well will lead to a stronger economy, higher wages and overall more prosperous society Nature of government reduces ‘fairness’ in an economy: Free Market Vs Capitalism, they are not the same. The free market is the exchange of goods and services and is equal with no regulations Capitalism revolves around wealth creation. However, if someone controls the free market (like the government) influence can then be bought from the government When the free market gets hijacked by Capitalism, It will always happen. If there is something with power over this structure, by nature you get super large companies that can buy regulation and influence policy with their control. Company Stores where workers are the consumers Both sides are guilty of this, where there is money in politics, which is needed to win. Becomes a pay to play situation 30-40% of donations are from untraceable sources ($62m last FY) Most donations from high regulated industry Only 10% are clearly disclosed and the rest use some creative accounting and redistributions somehow Bill Shorten and Negative Gearing policies to help new construction back when he was in the Construction union AWU Franking credit policy helps industry super, to which he was on the board of AusSuper in 1998-2007 Feel free to do some research on donation history of payments from AusSuper to AWU, to Shorten 2007 If you pay more, you tend to get more meetings and typically your wishes are fulfilled The reason why I talk about this so much is I actually do care I just think that the issues won't be solved through any of these policies. It will just make life harder for those actually trying to accumulate their own wealth Truth can hurt but it can help: If we believe that just taking more money and restricting what people can do is the solution, then it is a race to the bottom If we spend all time not looking at the real issue Nothing is fair: Examples of the fair go There will always be differences Some people are 7ft tall, others 5ft. Is it fair most of you would be paying a fairly hefty chunk to pay for politicians Salaries and expenses ($100m each year) and totals around $506m each year Sorry, that was such a large episode, I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.

Refugee advocates and activists were shocked and dismayed when the CFMEU and AWU joined forces to pass a gag motion at the recent Victorian Labor Party conference, shutting down debate on refugee policy. It was a devastating blow for those inside the Labor Party fighting for a refugee policy consistent with international humanitarian law and the basic standards of common human decency. Alex Whisson spoke to Pauline Brown, President of Labor for Refugees Victoria, and the seconder of that motion. The motion itself read, in part, “when in federal government, to close offshore detention centres, transit centres and other camps on Manus and Nauru within the first 90 days, and to bring all the children, women and men who are refugees or seeking asylum remaining there to Australia”. Pauline began by explaining the rationale behind that motion, and why it ought to be supported by a future federal Labor government.

There are still hard questions to be answered to put the AWU scandal to rest. As Michael Smith has explained on a series of videos on www.cando.org.au , a sham AWU non-profit entity was set up in the nineties. Its purpose was to siphon funds to two AWU organisers, Bruce Wilson and Ralph Blewitt. Bruce Wilson was romantically involved with Julia Gillard, then a partner in a Melbourne law firm. Vast sums were withdrawn in cash. The sham entity was even used buy a house. Ms. Gillard’s firm acted without charge. They even arranged a first mortgage. And when the solicitors asked for a bank cheque to pay for the balance, this was actually paid by a cheque on the sham entity. But when the fraud was exposed, Ms Gillard denied knowing anything about Wilson and Blewitt’s illegal activities. She said that she was young and naive. Although she had said that she was not going anywhere, she soon left the law firm. When she is asked about this, she says her answers are on the public record. They aren’t. Robert McClelland, who subsequently became Kevin Rudd's Attorney General, called for a Royal Commission but there was no enquiry into the fraud. When she became PM he was replaced as Attorney General.. The affair has resulted in some significant collateral damage, as the Americans say. This is the law firm Slater and Gordon. They have one of the largest and widest networks of law offices in the country specialising in insurance claims, commercial, family and asbestos-related law. Slater and Gordon's managing director, Andrew Grech, put out a press release last Friday. They are asking their former clients permission to reveal details of the transactions. You see communications between lawyers and their clients are privileged. Only the client can waive this Understandably, the present partners of Slater and Gordon are tired of being dragged into the mud by this scandal in which they are no way personally involved . And isn’t it time there was a Royal Commission into the financial affairs of the AWU, the HSU and other unions? The public is sick and tired of these powerless enquiries that cannot compel the production of documents or the sworn testimony of witnesses. Only a Royal Commission can get the answers to the “hard questions” which Australians are demanding be answered. CANdo, on a tiny budget and using volunteers has done what the mainstream media cannot or will not do. Once Julia Gillard huffed and puffed, they all went to water.
