In this episode of The Money Mentor, Ashley and Theresa share how they broke free from the financial “hamster wheel” despite earning solid incomes in Central Queensland. With Ash working FIFO and Theresa in administration, they were doing all the right things on paper, yet making no real progress. A major health scare became the wake-up call that pushed them to seek a clearer, long-term strategy beyond surface-level budgeting tools. After discovering Infinity, everything changed. With structured planning, practical tools, and strong community support, they dramatically accelerated their mortgage reduction and reshaped their lifestyle. The transformation extended beyond money, with improved health, confidence, and future vision, including more time together, travel plans, and building generational security. Their story highlights how clarity, accountability, and the right framework can unlock momentum where effort alone never could.

About Ainslie McMahon Ainslie McMahon is an artist based in Rockhampton on Darumbal Country whose work responds to the natural environment and the effect of nature on the human psyche. McMahon describes her work as being defined by a strong connection to Central Queensland, reflecting a sensitivity to the rhythms of the local landscape, including universal themes of fragility and strength, growth and destruction.McMahon studied visual art at Central Queensland University and graduated in 2003 with a Diploma of Visual Art, majoring in painting. Since that time McMahon has exhibited widely in regional Queensland and facilitated numerous community art workshops in Queensland and Northern Territory. She has undertaken artistic residencies at various primary schools in Rockhampton. McMahon also created and presented a weekly preschool art program at Rockhampton Art Gallery called Messy Mondays, as well as community workshops and STEAM programs at Rockhampton Art Gallery.McMahon's practice involves a balance between intuitive mark-making and careful deliberation. She says, "I try to discover possibilities, rather than force the painting to a preconceived conclusion. Colour choice and expressive mark making are important to me. Building up layers, and scratching back to reveal what is below creates an opportunity for the unexpected to reveal itself, and allows me to find my own visual language."

About Jodie van de Wetering Jodie van de Wetering is a writer, performer and generator of creative chaos based on Darumbal Country in Rockhampton. Their laid-back storytelling style and sardonic wit is inspired by bush poets and yarnspinners, growing up with repeats of Doctor Who and The Goodies as babysitters, and being the generation that started school with rotary-dial phones and graduated with MySpace accounts. Jodie's work reflects their confusing tangle of identities: neurodivergent, nonbinary, disabled, a solidly working class second-generation Australian, a hopeful dreamer and a grumpy grouch.van de Wetering's work has concentrated largely on live performance, including stand up comedy, improv, and theatre both conventional and experimental. They have been part of several live comedy tours of Central Queensland organised by event producer Anna Brennan, and have performed at local events including Beef Australia, River Festival, and the Village Festival. They have several film credits to their name, working with Capricorn Coast-based Blue Eagle Productions on improv comedy web series Koch & Boules, feature film Lost and Found, and several short films.van de Wetering was born in Rockhampton and raised in the rural community of The Caves. After leaving the region to work for the ABC, they returned in 2013 and have since become an active member of the region's arts community.

Learn about how Hatfield and Joy's collaborative film project took inspiration from RMOA's Collection during their residency. About LeLarnie Hatfield and Joanna JoyLeLarnie Hatfield and Joanna Joy are collaborating on a project that seeks to turn the written works of poet and activist Judith Wright into a television series. The project will be set in Central Queensland and both filmmakers want to ensure local community perspectives are considered in the “World-building” of this series.  “World-building” refers to the process of creating a world within a film or TV show, including the characters, locations and events. To ensure the world of the project is reflective of Central Queensland's multi-lingual, multi-cultural history the artists are inviting local members of the community to share their perspectives throughout their residency.  Hatfield and Joy are a creative duo who have spent the past four years collaborating on the creation of cross-cultural representations in film. Shot on Darumbal Country, their most recent work ‘Generations of Men' has screened at the Melbourne International Film Festival, Flickerfest, Brisbane International Film Festival, Darwin International Film Festival and St Kilda Film Festival. This residency seeks to continue their long term creative collaboration on Darumbal Country. Hatfield has a long history of cultural leadership and facilitation. Whilst her most recent work uses the medium of film - the nature of Hatfield's cultural and community leadership has led her to work across dance, animation, literature and photography. Most recently nominated for the Kearney Group First Nations Film Creative Award at the Melbourne International Film Festival, Hatfield is an emerging practitioner who has already created a cultural impact with her work. Joy is an interdisciplinary artist with a passion for intersectional storytelling. Joy's practice centers itself on community collaboration. Outside of Darumbal Enterprise, Joy has spent the last three years working within the Bus Stop Films community - facilitating accessible filmmaking and inclusive film sets. Most recently selected for the Accelerator Film Lab at the Melbourne International Film Festival, Joy is an emerging practitioner with growing recognition in the industry. Together these two artists combine their respective expertise and shared interest in facilitation to collaborate on the birth of their latest development. Returning to RMOA is a “full-circle” moment for these artists who have spent many hours taking inspiration from the newly built space and exhibitions.

Meyer's relationship to her hometown Rockhampton, Central Queensland, on Darumbal Country, continues to inform her art-making.

Creating a wide range of visual stimulation and discussion around her work is the driving force behind her practice.Meyer creates dynamic, immersive artworks, where ‘place' is not only a source of inspiration but a way of connecting to others and expressing her identity and connection to the world.  A deep respect and sensitivity for the landscape of Darumbal Country is expressed through richly layered mixed media artworks that are joyful and whimsical.

Like many who came to this area seeking new possibilities, Faint's maternal family immigrated to Australia from the Guangzhou province in China to the Victorian goldfields in 1878. Facing discrimination and economic challenges family decedents spread across Australia, such as working in Sydney markets, frequently trading produce with East Coast and Central Queensland vendors.

L'activité sexuelle aide-t-elle vraiment à dormir ?

Le lien entre sexualité et sommeil fascine autant qu'il interroge. Beaucoup de personnes rapportent mieux dormir après un rapport sexuel, mais que dit réellement la science ? Est-ce un simple ressenti ou un véritable phénomène physiologique ?De plus en plus d'études tendent à confirmer que l'activité sexuelle, et en particulier l'orgasme, peut favoriser un meilleur sommeil, parfois de façon comparable, voire supérieure, à certains somnifères légers.Lors d'un rapport sexuel, plusieurs mécanismes physiologiques se mettent en place. Pendant l'orgasme, le cerveau libère un cocktail de neurohormones : ocytocine (hormone de l'attachement et de la détente), prolactine (associée à la sensation de satiété sexuelle et à la somnolence), ainsi qu'une diminution du taux de cortisol, l'hormone du stress. Cette combinaison favorise naturellement un état de relaxation propice à l'endormissement.Une étude australienne de 2019, menée par le Dr Michele Lastella de l'Université de Central Queensland, a exploré ce phénomène. L'équipe a interrogé 460 adultes : 64 % des participants déclaraient qu'après un rapport sexuel avec orgasme, leur qualité de sommeil s'améliorait nettement. L'effet était encore plus marqué chez les couples ayant une vie sexuelle régulière.Plus récemment, une étude publiée en 2022 dans Frontiers in Public Health a montré, à partir de mesures objectives (actimétrie et questionnaires), que les participants ayant eu une activité sexuelle avec orgasme s'endormaient en moyenne 15 à 20 minutes plus rapidement, et bénéficiaient d'un sommeil plus profond, comparé aux nuits sans activité sexuelle.Faut-il en conclure que l'orgasme est plus thérapeutique que les médicaments ? Il convient de nuancer. Si l'effet apaisant de l'activité sexuelle est réel, il ne remplace pas un traitement médical adapté en cas d'insomnie chronique sévère. Toutefois, pour les troubles du sommeil légers ou modérés liés au stress ou à l'anxiété, il peut représenter une approche naturelle, sans effets secondaires.Autre point intéressant : cet effet bénéfique s'observe aussi bien après des rapports sexuels en couple qu'après la masturbation, selon une étude de 2016 par Brody et Krüger, publiée dans Sleep and Biological Rhythms. Cela confirme que c'est bien le relâchement neuro-hormonal lié à l'orgasme qui agit.En résumé, l'activité sexuelle — avec orgasme — constitue un véritable levier naturel pour favoriser un sommeil de qualité. Sans se substituer aux traitements médicaux en cas de pathologies, elle offre une stratégie complémentaire, agréable et accessible, pour favoriser l'endormissement et améliorer la récupération nocturne.

A $1.3 billion wind farm is being built in Central Queensland’s Connors Range, which is home to some of the most ecologically significant populations of koalas and Greater Gliders. Photographer and conservationist Steven Nowakowski recently visited the Lotus Creek Wind Farm and shared some pretty confronting images. Mr Nowakowski told Gary Hardgrave on 4BC Drive, "That's why I've been photographing places like Lotus Creek to try to show city folk what is really involved with the construction of these wind towers in Queensland and other parts of Australia. "I think if Australians really saw what was going on in regional Australia with the rollout of renewables, they would be gobsmacked and horrified because we are seeing so much devastation and clearing and destruction of what is left of our refugia forests, of our remnant forests," Mr Nowakowski continued.

Today I'm speaking with Mary Li, ballet mistress and principal répétiteur at the Queensland Ballet. Mary's story to the stage is an unlikely one—one of eight children, Mary grew up in a small town in Central Queensland called Rockhampton. She was the first person in her family to try ballet, but by the age of 16—the day after completing her Solo Seal exam—she flew to London after being accepted into Royal Ballet School. Her star continued to rise, on graduation Mary was accepted into London Festival Ballet, now the English National Ballet—and was made principal within four years. But it was a chance move to Houston Ballet in the United States that saw the course of her life change again—when she crossed paths with another principal dancer, Li Cunxin—they would go on to marry, and dance together all over the globe. In this wonderfully brave conversation, Mary opens up about her career, meeting her husband and learning of his life, and their decision to have children. But Mary also talks about the devastating decision to leave her career after her eldest child was found to be hearing impaired, the grief she suffered knowing her child would never hear music, reuniting with the stage at the Queensland Ballet, and now choosing to learn AUSLAN with her eldest daughter Sophie.Mary continues to train and teach the principal artists of Queensland Ballet, all the while juggling life with Li and their three grown up children, Sophie, Tom and Bridie. Mary continues to learn AUSLAN, and her book Mary's Last Dance is available on Audible and in all good bookshops. If you'd like to listen to Li's conversation with me, please scroll down to Episode 5 of Talking Pointes, and we'll also pop the link in the show notes—and finally, to continue to follow all of Mary's adventures, you'll find her on Instagram.Mary and I recorded remotely, with Mary dialling in from Brisbane.

On her side were barristers for MACH Energy and  WHITEHAVEN coal. Justice Mc Elwaine dismissed the case. He said "Ultimately (this)...... raises matters for parliament to consider"   Environmental Justice Australia said "Unless it is appealed, today's judgement effectively clears the way for the minister to ignore climate change in her risk assessment of all new coal and gas projects on her desk- of which there are 25" I interviewed the president of the Environment Council of Central Queensland, Christine Carlisle about the impact on Australia's living wonders of more coal exports into the 2040's. Even now the Narrabri mine is leaking three times the climate changing  methane it claimed. If the extension is approved it will only add fuel to the climate chaos we are now experiencing everywhere. If you haven't see the Living Wonders project ,which ECoCeQ presented to Tanya Plibersek, please look at it now and check which of the living wonders  that you cherish will be imperilled. Explore the Evidence - Living Wonders Despite a promise to escape the climate 'naughty corner', the government just scored a win against environmentalists - ABC News Fine article by Michael SlezacLiving Wonders: Calls for law change after Federal Court ruling | news.com.au — Australia's leading news site Our "breaking News" interview will be followed by  a repeat of our 2022 show exploring the living wonders project featuring Professor Jakelin Troy and Lawyer Holly Kerwin.
