New Zealand First's mining policy hits all the right notes but ultimately is not worth the paper it's written on. I'll tell you why. On the whole, Kiwis don't mind a bit of mining, so long as there are good jobs to be had in the right place — preferably not the middle of Milford Sound. Last year, the Government took in more than $250 million in royalties. But there was a poll we spoke about on this show just a few weeks ago: half of voters don't think we get a good enough deal — a fair enough return — from mining companies. To pacify this problem, New Zealand First wants to give half the royalties back to the regions where the resources come from. It might get them blue-collar votes on the Coast, but it won't fix the big problem we have, which is investment confidence. If you're an international player with options and a world in front of you, the disruption, civil disobedience, and political uncertainty on display here don't go unnoticed. It's all very well having these pro-mining policies and fast-tracks, but if the threat of a Labour–Greens government hangs over your permits, what are they really worth? Prospectors have just been given a reminder of this in NSW, a state built on coal. Despite it being one of the state's top exports, the Labor government is banning new mines. Much like the Labour–Green "Just Transition” for jobs in Taranaki, Labor NSW has invented the "Future Jobs and Investment Authority" to magic up replacement roles for miners in the Hunter, Central West, Illawarra, and North West. You'll remember how well that went for us here in New Zealand. The irony of all of this is that the workers' unions don't like it. They've called out Labor there. They may back New Zealand First on the Coast here. But ultimately, it's all rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic, because to have jobs you need investment. To have investment you need certainty. To have certainty you need bipartisanship — which we don't have.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We are joined by Sharron Steer from Calare Kelpies in the Central West. As a psychologist and working dog handler, Sharron brings a really valuable perspective on the role mindset plays in both people and dogs.We chat through stress, awareness, fight-or-flight responses, and how our own state of mind can directly influence the dogs we work with. Sharron explains how these concepts show up in everyday training, handling pressure at trials, and recognising what's actually happening beneath the surface when things don't go to plan.A thoughtful conversation that connects the dots between human behaviour and dog behaviour with plenty to take away whether you're training at home, trialling, or just trying to understand your dogs (and yourself) a little better.

Racing has seen few more distinguished careers than the one enjoyed by Ron Quinton over six rewarding decades. His stellar riding career spanned almost thirty years. His successful training career is now in its thirty second year and counting. Ron's an inductee of the Australian Racing Hall Of Fame and the recipient of a Medal Of The Order Of Australia, fitting acknowledgements of his contribution to Australian racing.  I've conducted interviews with Ron Quinton many times over sixty years and there was a comprehensive podcast in 2018, but several recent email requests for an updated version have got us on the job. It's a pleasure to revisit the career of an iconic Australian horseman. His passion for the game is unwavering. His recall of horses, horsemen and events will take you on a nostalgic journey. Ron admits he's a disciplined trainer who never takes his eye off the ball. The seventy seven year old acknowledges the support of long time client Ray Gall who's rarely without a horse or two in the stable. Ron remembers the first yearling Ray gave him to train. That filly was Mamzelle Pedrille who remains the trainer's all time favourite. Ron pays tribute to his first Gr 1 winner.  His magic moment came on the opening day of the famous Melbourne Cup carnival in the year 2000. He looks back on another unforgettable day at Flemington when he won the historic Victoria Oaks with Bulla Borghese- his second Gr 1 as a trainer. Ron has had a commanding presence in the history of the Coolmore Classic run at Rosehill during the Golden Slipper carnival. He won it twice as a jockey and four times as trainer. He looks back on his quartet of training wins beginning with classy mare Ofcourseican. He remembers Peeping, Daysee Doom and Dixie Blossoms who all won the high profile race. The veteran horseman looks back on his association with the respected owner Millie Fox. He was recommended for the job by Brian Mayfield-Smith who'd decided to explore the possibility of becoming a conservationist in South Africa. Ron looks back on the best of the 95 winners he trained in four years for the universally popular Mrs.Millie Fox. He pays tribute to the lengthy list of talented junior riders who spent all or part of their apprenticeships under his wing. Ron looks back on his twenty years as stable jockey for legendary trainer Neville Begg. He speaks of Begg's affinity with fillies and mares. He goes back to childhood days at Mendooran in the Central West and early days in the saddle. Ron pays tribute to his master and mentor Theo Green. He looks back on a rewarding apprenticeship and the wonderful opportunities afforded him by leading stables.  Ron takes us on a nostalgic journey as he revisits his association with horses like Analie, Bletchingly, Emancipation, Dalmacia, Marscay, Sir Dapper, Rory's Jester, Marauding, Kingston Town, and Baguette- a true galaxy of stars. The former great jockey was involved in twelve race falls during three decades in the saddle. When it comes to injury he regards himself as one of the lucky ones. From the outset of his riding career Ron harboured an ambition to ride overseas. He looks back on three memorable stints with champion Irish trainer John Oxx.  Ron talks of the devastating loss in 2017 of Margaret, his wife of 45 years. His horses helped him through a difficult time. He talks of children Shawn, Trent and Annabel and of his four grandchildren. Ron looks at his future direction.  This is a wonderful trip down memory lane with a giant of Australian racing.

The Guarani-Kaiowá are the people of Mato Grosso do Sul, a Central-West region of Brazil. It translates as “Thick Forest of the South", and as the name suggests, nature has protected the Guarani-Kaiowá and their culture from colonization. Particularly, the ancient tradition of chicha making—a sacred white corn drink that can also be fermented. The Guarani-Kaiowá believe that if they stop making chicha, the world will end. Today, this thick forest has been turned into a vast monoculture of soy plantations, and the Guarani-Kaiowá have nowhere to go and continue their ancestral cultural practices. Perhaps the end of the world is closer than ever. Join us on a fermentation journey with Paula Neubauer, a Brazilian award-winning chef and educator, as we explore the complexity of sacred fermented chicha and the fascinating people who make it.  Welcome to “The End of Many Worlds”, the third episode of The World in a Pickle, Ferment Radio's mini-series focused on understanding geopolitical complexities through fermented foods.

A teenage Julie Eggerling drove her grandfather to the races one day and that was it, she was hooked.  Julie has owned many horses , bred a lot of her own and bought others in as ready to race horses. She gets joy from all of them.  Working in the stables and being hands on every day sets Julie apart from most owners, and she loves that she still gets to nurture the connection with horses she's always had.  Julie is the owners rep on the Central West committee and played an instrumental role in resurrecting the now very successful Alpha Jockey Club.  Julie also makes a mean corn meat sandwich.  More Than Mail is proudly brought to you by Brodie Agencies, McKinlay.

St Louis loves fried chicken. It's a lesson John Perkins learned years ago when he held a pop-up for a Southern concept that would eventually inspire Juniper. Last year he closed Juniper, the acclaimed Central West end restaurant and transitioned it to Sunday Best. Walking inside the restaurant, the changes might be subtle, but it's meant to be a more casual spot with the opportunity to expand and grow across the region. It's not a change John made lightly, but it was one initiated by necessity. From starting off with underground pop-ups to the changing restaurant business and the perspective he's gained over the years, we get candid in this week's episode.

Jillian Kilby is not afraid of the big decisions. As an engineer and farmer's daughter from Coonamble, in the central west of New South Wales, Jillian has leant on her rural values right through her career.

Towns in the Central West of NSW have been inundated by floodwaters this week.  Residents of Forbes were told to leave town with the Lachlan River forecast to hit a new record.

Molong and Canowindra were also hard hit by flooding, and Wyangla Dam on the Lachlan has been overflowing.    We're joined by Jamie Jones, deputy mayor of Cabonne Shire Council and Kathy Finn, the manager of Hay's Shear Outback, the Shearer's Hall of Fame, to give us a snapshot of the impact of the floods – which in itself is amazing, given the two communities are more than 500kms apart.  In this episode of the Briefing, we bring you the voices of people hammered by flooding in the NSW Central West.  Headlines: - Ukraine war: crisis averted- Trump launches 2024 presidential bid- NSW floods claim another life- Deliveroo leaves Australia- Kevin Spacey charged; Tesla recalls cars; NASA launches Artemis Follow The Briefing: Instagram: @thebriefingpodcast Facebook: TheBriefingNewsAUTwitter: @TheBriefingAUSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
