Content warning: This Episode of Doin' Time contains audio images of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have died, and graphic discussion of deaths in custody. Today on the show we were first joined by Samantha Lee, Assistant Principal Solicitor at Redfern Legal Centre about NSW Police's response to the Palestine Action Group rally in Sydney calling for an independent review of NSW Police conduct. Redfern Legal Centre calls on the Commissioner of the New South Wales Police Force, Mal Lanyon, to stand down officers whose use of force at the protest appears excessive, based on the available footage.Following that, Marisa interviewed David Murray, Strategic Projects Lead from Jesuit Social Services, about the expansion of Malmsbury Youth Justice Centre -- which is a significant investment at the wrong end of the system, using money that would be far better spent on evidence-based solutions that prevent crime from occurring.Then we heard from Katie Kiss, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner to discuss a new bill to establish a National Commission for First Peoples children, which is welcomed by top human rights advocates. Katie is a proud Kaanju and Birri/Widi woman who grew up in Rockhampton, Central Queensland, on the lands of the Darumbal people.

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.

“A lot of my ethos about what I'd like brewing to be is that DIY punk vibe, which is really collaborative.”A year on from Feral's return to independence, the brewery unveiled a new look, a tightened core range, and a new head brewer, with ex-Beavertown and Beerfarm brewer Charlotte Freeston entrusted with shaping the next chapter in the iconic brand's story.Ahead of Froth Town 2025, we joined her at Feral's brewery (with AIBA Best Media 2025 winner Guy Southern along as co-host) to find out more about the new direction and plans for the future, from barrels and a new venue to the return of Tusk.As anyone who has met Charlotte would know, beer and brewing formed just part of the conversation. We find out about her pre-Beavertown career, which took in fine art, making bespoke paint and music videos, set-building, and travelling the UK in her grandad's old BMW gaining brewing experience, as well as her views on the wider beer community here and in the UK, the Pink Boots Society, and learning not to apologise for being unapologetic.It's a delightful chat, which follows a look back at the week on Crafty – Sobah entering VA, more on the beer scene in Central Queensland, a peak inside brewer trials for new hops, and the second part of Creating A Venue – and includes the latest winner in our Bluestone Yeast Brewery of the Month campaign.

Artist in Residence, Gail Meyer, in conversation with Helen Kavanagh. Learn more about Meyer's four week residency at RMOA and how works from the Collection inspired new directions in her artistic practice. About Gail MeyerMeyer is a Rockhampton-based artist with a practice spanning more than 20 years. Meyer's relationship to her hometown Rockhampton, Central Queensland, on Darumbal Country, continues to inform her art-making. Exploring the attachment of memory and place with familiar environments, presents a challenge in representing the familiar in a new way, and not just pictorially.Meyer undertook formal studies in visual art at Central Queensland University from 2000 to 2002 in drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, and since then has diversified her practice further by attending a range of skills development workshops in the contemporary genre tutored by notable Australian artists such as Tim Storrier, Idris Murphy, Andrew Antoniou, David Fairbairn, Peter Sharp, and Jo Furlonger at an annual artist's retreat in Central Queensland. 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.

Featuring work by Ping Carlyon, Jacky Chan, Remy Faint, Qing Huang, Hanbing Lu and Anitha Menon. Curated by Robert Connell and Emily Wakeling.About Remy FaintSydney based artist Remy Faint explores global and personal histories through painting, assemblage and collage, expanding the idea of painting to create works that could also be considered objects. Faint's European paternal family studied and worked in schools throughout Central Queensland, where visiting family is reflected on as a meaningful part of his life. 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.

Artists in Residence, LeLarnie Hatfield and Joanna Joy, in conversation with Dr Melinda Mann, First Nations Art Officer at RMOA. 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.  

Artist in Residence, Ainslie McMahon, in conversation with Easton Dunne. Learn more about McMahon's art practice and her four week residency at RMOA. 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."

Artist in Residence, Jodie van de Wetering, joins Easton Dunne for a conversation discussing their four week residency at RMOA. Learn more about how artworks selected from the Collection inspired the play that they worked on throughout their residency. 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. They organised Allsorts Open Mic, an open-access event providing stage time for new and emerging performers, and continue to support other local artists of all kinds while continuing their own practice.

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.

Anna's stellar cycling career saw her smash Australian Olympic records and become the World Champion 11 times. Then to the surprise of many, she walked away from cycling for good, returning to the world stage as Australia's Chef de Mission for Paris 2024 (R)

Producer and editor of the show, massive nerd and the guy with the iron chin, Quinn Jackson, jumps across his desk and joins the boys on the couch to get interviewed for his guest episode. Quinn takes us through his childhood, growing up in the country town of Howlong, being an introverted child and going against the grain of rural living by being invested in an academic path instead of a sporting one. Quinn takes us through the transitional period of moving to Central Queensland to go to high school, being on the debating team and then getting his foot in the door in the hospitality scene after school, leading to experiences such as working in Mount Isa during the rodeo and witnessing Fred Brophy's for the first time. Quinn runs us through the lows he's experienced as well, including battling with the loss of a best mate and what it taught him to then the rollercoaster that was sending the email to Tom and Cam for the job. To wrap up, we cover the original call out that sparked the Podcast Royale, some of Quinn's media interests, starting a 3D printing business with his best mate and wrap up with a couple of ripper yarns from his life before sending it into the guest questions.

In 2021 the Callide C Power Station experienced a unit failure that tore the turbine-generator apart, resulted in hundreds of thousands of premises losing power, and cost hundreds of millions to repair.

As stated it could not connect to the Unit C4 415V Emergency Board and it remained dead, however as there was DC power in the Station section, it was powering the Station Emergency Board and was therefore running under some, minimal load. The Bus Tie between the Station 415V Emergency Board to the Unit C4 Emergency Board was left open when cross-feeding was possible. Additionally the DC Lube Oil and Generator Seal Oil Pumps were not specified if they were connected to the Main or Distribution DC Bus. If connected to the Main Bus, the ACS change-over would not have re-energised them, although reclosing the interconnector, or closing the battery breaker would have.
