Podcasts about covidsafe

Writer Elliott Maya (they/them, and "a sprinkle of he/him in, like, a fruity Victorian dandy boy way") has a real way with words, in case you couldn't tell from that parenthetical. Raised in the *extremely* strict Jehovah's Witnesses religion, Lio and their brother were also the only Black kids at their school. As if this weren't enough, Lio started going through puberty quite early, which coincided with them realizing that they were "not like the other girls, in many ways." Lio knew that college was their only chance of escape, so they started working at the age of twelve. Along the way, they attempted to hide their queerness in high school by becoming a gay bully...but in an ironic twist, they ended up becoming "horrifically" attracted to their (also queer) victim. Besides being an absolutely HILARIOUS storyteller, Lio also has Long Covid, and started the group Covid Cautious Queers. We spend the latter half of the episode talking about the ways in which Lio's illness has changed their life, and the (easy!) ways you can help not only them, but everyone in your community.First thing's first: follow Lio on Instagram at @bougiebasquiat, and please please please see their bio for links to their GoFundMe, their Health Hub, and their Ko-fi! You can also follow them on TikTok at @transnaruto, and check out their *gorgeous* website at elliottmaya.com. Last but not least, follow @covidcautiousqueers on Instagram, especially if you're in Southern California. It's Pride Month, y'all - let's be there for Lio!!

Lauren sits down with voice actor and romantic/erotic audio narrator Dianna Conley, who identifies as bi/pansexual ("I saw The Mummy, and my answer was 'yes'"), agender, and neurospicy! Dianna's first kiss with a girl was in high school, but since she knew she was definitely attracted to boys, she was left more confused by the experience than anything else. That is, until she learned the word "bisexual" from a formative character on The O.C.! Dianna shares how, for her, "all clothes are a costume," and explains why "being ADHD is more important to my identity than having a gender." Plus, Lauren and Dianna - who met in a COVID-conscious Zoom group - discuss how the ongoing pandemic is very much a queer issue, and have a personal and candid conversation about why they are still taking the level of precaution they are.Whole lotta stuff here, so buckle up! First off, follow Dianna on Instagram at @diannaconley and on Twitter at @DiannaConleyVO, and get in touch with her via her website at diannaconley.com. Also mentioned in this episode, former guest Jessica Ellis (Episode 144) is tweeting very openly about her journey with Long COVID at @baddestmamajama (you can search her profile page for "Long COVID" to turn up tweets).In terms of all the COVID-related information we discussed, here's an easy to digest, super-thorough primer full of resources and links: https://www.patreon.com/posts/86871700?utm_campaign=postshare_fan. If you're interested in meeting other folks who are #stillcoviding, the "Still Coviding Weekly Hangout" (@covidisntover on Twitter and Instagram) is a virtual, international, and very queer-leaning group, and you can also check out covidmeetups.com.

A lot has already been written about trends, predictions and forecasts for 2022. Yet today, I'm going to be chatting with leading demographer and futurist Simon Kuestenmacher about the demographic, social, and economic trends that will shape 2022. This is the type of information property investors, business people, and entrepreneurs need to understand to make better-informed decisions. And, of course, I'll be sharing my popular mindset message at the end. Predictions For the Year 2022 The coronavirus pandemic was a great reminder of how difficult it is to make accurate forecasts, especially about the future. But recently, demographer and futurist Simon Kuesetenmacher, the co-founder of The Demographics Group, was prepared to stick his neck out and make 22 predictions about what 2022 holds for Australia in his column in The New Daily. And I'm looking forward to discussing them today. Millennials continue on to family-sized houses. Australia's largest generation reaches the family formation stage of the lifecycle and continues to leave their hipster neighbourhoods in the capital cities, searching for family-sized homes. As the decentralization of the population continues, local governments face predictable challenges. As growth in the regions continues, local councils must make enough land available to accommodate the increased demand for housing. Hybrid work will dominate. Working from home is here to stay, but exclusively virtual working arrangements will remain the exception. House prices will continue to rise. Demand for family-sized housing is guaranteed to be high due to the Millennials. Soon migrants will be returning to the market. Government has no interest whatsoever in pushing house prices down. The average Australian house will get bigger in 2022. Lockdowns pulled functions from outside the home into the home. We entertain, eat, exercise, study, work at home more often. Some (not all) of these changes will stick, and require more space. As we are cocooning more, Bunnings, Barbecues Galore, Harvey Norman, and co will be doing well! We spend less money on traveling overseas, save money by avoiding the daily commute, get away with owning fewer formal items of clothing, and have more money available to throw around. A fair bit of this disposable income will be used to make the family home more liveable. One size doesn't fit all. Customer segmentation will be trickier in 2022. Different levels of lockdown restrictions bred different habits across the country. The socio-economic divide widens. The pandemic didn't impact all of us in the same way. Highly skilled workers kept their jobs and many industries saw big profits while lower-skilled workers lost their jobs at high rates. Baby Boomers will act with a sense of urgency. They feel cheated out of two healthy years of their retirement. They are keen to travel, spend time with the grandkids, and feel “it's their time now”. The trend towards sliding into retirement continues. In 2022 a higher share of workers in their 60s and early 70s will remain in the workforce in a part-time capacity. This means downsizing is pushed backward too. Gen X is taking over even more leadership positions. As Baby Boomers leave the workforce it's Gen X's time to dominate company boards and C-level roles. Xer leaders introduce generous parental leave policies and continue to fight for equal pay. The healthcare sector continues to boom. Australia remains a rich and aging country. No industry will grow as fast as healthcare. While Australia will recover economically in 2022, a near-universal skills shortage will hold back economic growth. Hiring qualified staff will be challenging. The short-term solution will be for existing staff to work longer hours. More retail spending will take place online. Expect more vacancies on your local main street. Struggling main streets are terrible for towns and neighborhoods. Smart local governments and business councils will find creative ways of repurposing empty shop fronts. Data released this week saw the fertility rate fell to an all-time low of 1.58 kids per woman in 2020. The impact of COVID will only be seen in the data for the year 2021. This data will be published in 2022 and will show that Australians had even fewer kids during COVID. Women will return to work within a year of childbirth in high numbers. This means demand for childcare will remain stable despite declining births. The world will praise Australia for its handling of COVID. Only two measures will be looked at: deaths per million and the vaccination rate. People across the world will view our nation as a desirable location. Extreme weather events will be occurring more frequently, and we must prepare for this. We can't say whether 2022 will see such events, but we know that they are statistically more likely. The older generations join the young in demanding better digital services. COVID taught many older people to use QR codes, download apps (turns out the COVIDSAFE app was good for something after all), and purchase things online. All industries and all levels of government must improve their digital offerings. The death of the wallet. Digital cash, digital ID. You can get through 2022 just fine without ever carrying a wallet. Early 2022 will see the return of migration, albeit not yet at pre-pandemic levels. International students will be first, arriving in time for the semester starting in March. This will help stabilise the inner-city rental market, help fill casual jobs in retail and hospitality, and generally boost the economy. 22. Most importantly, we will remain an optimistic and forward-looking people.

Amid COVID-19 pandemic which has seen record number of cases and fatalities across this country, the preparation of this year's Australia Day celebration is in its motion.

Following an astounding 11,201 daily cases, Premier Dominic Perrottet has drawn a line in the sand – this is life with Covid and NSW will not go back.

Patrons aged 12 years and two months or older are required to show proof of their COVID-19 vaccination to enter a variety of businesses and to receive certain services across Victoria. These businesses must ensure customers have checked-in correctly and verify their customers' vaccination status. Mr Arun Kumarasamy explains more about COVIDSafe Settings for business in Victoria. - கொரோனா பரவலையடுத்து நடைமுறைப்படுத்தப்பட்ட கட்டுப்பாடுகள் அந்தந்த மாநில மற்றும் பிராந்திய அரசுகளால் கட்டம் கட்டமாக தளர்த்தப்பட்டு வருகின்றன.இந்நிலையில் விக்டோரியா மாநிலத்திலுள்ள வணிகங்களுக்கு எவ்வாறான கட்டுப்பாடுகள் தற்போது நடைமுறையில் உள்ளன என்பது தொடர்பில் விக்டோரிய கோவிட் கட்டுப்பாட்டு செயலணியில் அங்கம் வகிக்கும் அருண் குமாரசாமி அவர்களுடன் உரையாடுகிறார் றேனுகா துரைசிங்கம்.

There is an Electic Atmosphere in the Tasman nations on multiple fronts. Protests against mandates and restrictions continue to take place in Auckland and Victoria. In early election campaigning, Scott Morrison is revving up electric vehicles to fight CO2 emissions. Tim and Stephen discuss on Trad Tasman Talk. New Zealand's capital Wellington saw one of its biggest protests in recent years against Jacinda Ardern's continued lockdown of the North Island and vaccine mandates. New daily cases are continuing to rise but despite still the low hospitalization numbers in New Zealand, the Nurses' Organisation is claiming the health system is almost overwhelmed. Queensland announced its vaccinated economy for when the state reopens its borders, they call it a reward for those who've got vaccinated. Western Australia is not opening its borders until 2022, but despite that the state still wants to host an Ashes Cricket test this summer, part of the proposed CovidSafe plan is replacing the cricket ball if it gets hit into the crowd. Former NSW Labor Premier Bob Carr tweeted that Australia should emulate Singapore and deny healthcare to the unvaccinated. Protests have continued every weekend in Melbourne against Dan Andrews' proposed permanent Pandemic Legislation, 20,000 gathered on Saturday outside Victoria's Parliament House for the latest Kill the Bill rally. 60 Victorian QCs have now signed a letter expressing grave concerns over the powers in the bill joining the Victorian Bar Association and the Law Institute of Victoria. Former Labor Prime Minister Paul Keating said this week it was not in Australia's interest to defend Taiwan as China is too powerful. Keating has become an apologist for Communist China and is on the International Advisory Board of the China Development Bank which is a state-owned bank. As an aside Keating's daughter Katherine met up with Jeffrey Espiten and Prince Andrew in New York over a decade ago. Scott Morrison was engaged in early federal election campaigning in Melbourne this week. He released the Coalition's Fuels Future policy to support the electric vehicle industry as part of his government's embrace of net zero emissions by 2050. Inflation is rising in Australia and New Zealand after each nation's respective Reserve Bank has printed money to support locked-down economies over the past 20 months. Unemployment has risen after the lockdowns have ended in Australia to 5.2% as more people look to rejoin the workforce. Bureaucrats in NSW have suggested the nation needs a surge of 2 million migrants to support new job demand.

不支持率超过支持率！哈里斯成美国数年来“最不受欢迎的副总统” 【综合讯】“根据最近对前联邦参议员卡玛拉•哈里斯的不支持民调数据，上任六个月后，哈里斯成为美国多年来最不受欢迎的副总统。”报道称，最近进行的两项民调数据都显示，对哈里斯的支持率均为46%，不支持率则高于支持率，分别为47%和48%。 哈里斯成为至少自上世纪70年代以来，上任6个月后最不受欢迎的美国副总统。”《每日电讯报》也作出类似的评价称。至于哈里斯任职副总统期间有哪些做法令人不满，报道提到：比如她本负责管理美国南部边境的移民，却一直回避有关问题，当被问到为什么在被拜登指派处理移民问题几个月后还没有访问美墨边境时，她却回答说，自己也还没有访问过欧洲。 1、美媒：“租客保护令”过期，数百万美国人可能将面临被赶出家门 【美联社】据报道，随着美国政府为应对新冠肺炎疫情在全国实施的“租客保护令”于当地时间7月31日午夜到期，数百万美国人将面临被赶出家门的冷酷境况。美媒认为，“租客保护令”取消后，民众流落街头恐将加剧社区感染，但另一方面，“租客保护令”引发房东团体的不满，没了房租这笔收入，他们将面临无力支付房屋税款和保险金的前景。 报道称，美国白宫7月29日向国会发出呼吁，称其应出台相关政策以再次延长驱逐租客禁令。目前美国有约650万户、超过1500万人拖欠房租，亏欠房东的款项总额超过200亿美元。此外， 额外失业救济金、食品券以及“学生贷款暂停支付令”等将于9月失效，同样将影响数以千万计的美国民众。 2、福奇：美国有1亿人有资格接种疫苗，但他们没接种！美两医院233名医护感染德尔塔病毒 【美联社】据报道，美国顶级传染病专家安东尼•福奇当地时间8月1日受访时表示，美国有资格接种新冠疫苗的1亿人并未接种疫苗，随着新冠变异病毒德尔塔毒株导致的感染病例激增，“情况将变得更糟”。 据《国会山报》报道，美国加利福尼亚州的两所医院暴发新冠疫情，导致233名医疗工作人员的新冠检测结果呈阳性。这些感染者中约75%至80%的人已完全接种疫苗，但仍感染德尔塔变异毒株。专家称，如果完全没有接种疫苗，感染人数可能会增加3倍。 3、奥巴马被曝计划举办大型生日派对，网友愤怒：可能成“超级传播”事件！ 【福克斯新闻网】德尔塔毒株肆虐美国之际，据报道，美国前总统奥巴马被曝计划于8月4日举办大型生日派对，这引发许多批评者的愤怒：派对可能成为“超级传播”事件！ 消息称，预计奥巴马将邀请多位朋友参加此次派对，尚不清楚具体会邀请到谁，但美国著名脱口秀主持人奥普拉·温弗瑞和著名导演乔治·克鲁尼等明星已收到了邀请。这位消息人士还说，此次派对规模会“很大”。福克斯新闻网称，奥巴马举办60岁生日派对，恰逢马萨诸塞州建议已接种疫苗者在公共场合戴口罩，以应对德尔塔毒株的威胁。 4、加州动物福利法案要让猪住得好，人要没肉吃？ 【美联社】加州人要没猪肉吃了？美国加利福尼亚州2018年通过的动物福利法案即将于明年1月生效，业内人士预计，加州人届时将面临一场“猪肉荒”。报道称，这项法案的核心内容在于提升养殖场内的动物生存空间，旨在让牲畜“住得更宽敞”。然而截至目前，为加州供应猪肉的养殖场中只有4%符合新规要求。 媒体认为，如果届时没有司法干预或其他过渡办法，加州几乎将失去“全部猪肉供应”。美联社称，加州堪称全美猪肉消耗大户，该州餐馆和肉食店平均每月要消耗1.15亿公斤猪肉，而外州猪肉的断供势必导致猪肉价格大幅上涨。有餐饮行业从业者担忧，届时加州人恐怕连最常见的早点——猪肉培根都吃不上了。 5、好莱坞内部矛盾公开化？“黑寡妇”状告迪士尼，“擅自将《黑寡妇》同步在流媒体播放” 【综合讯】好莱坞著名影星斯嘉丽·约翰逊近日正式起诉迪士尼公司“擅自将《黑寡妇》影片同步在流媒体播放”，严重影响了该片的影院票房，侵犯了她的经济权益。该事件如一颗炸弹“震惊”整个好莱坞，陆续有其他一线明星也加入了声讨迪士尼、索赔薪酬的行列。 据专业票房网站统计，在北美和其他地区上映已经三周的《黑寡妇》目前全球票房累计3.22亿美元，虽然创造了疫情后好莱坞新片的首周票房纪录，但后继乏力。据业内专家统计，这给斯嘉丽·约翰逊一方造成5000万美元的损失。面对指控，迪士尼方面公开回应称，这是毫无意义的诉讼，迪士尼称其完全履行了合同，斯嘉丽·约翰逊已经赚到了2000万美元。 6、美国一州州长行政权力受限 美媒：无人采取有力行动应对疫情 【NPR】据报道，由于美国堪萨斯州州长劳拉·凯利被限制部分行政权力，在新冠病例激增的当下，当地无人采取强有力的行动来应对卷土重来的疫情。报道称，该州议会中占绝对多数的保守派通过了法律，将流行病应对工作转移到地方县委员会，这削弱了凯利和当地卫生官员的应对能力。 现在，该州105个县中有84个属于新冠热点传播区域，而这105个县都没有强制佩戴口罩的要求。美媒认为，凯利的行政权力仍处于法律上悬而未决的状态，因此很难知道谁有权力发号施令。当记者询问凯利是否会考虑重新实施全州范围内的口罩强制令时，她转移了话题。 7、联合国秘书长：新冠疫情在全球造成教育风险升高 【综合讯】据报道，联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯8月1日表示，全球正在经历因新冠疫情导致学校关闭，从而引发的教育危机。 据报道，古特雷斯在社交媒体上表示：“我们正处于教育危机之中。因新冠疫情，学校关闭，1.56亿学生还在受影响，2500万人可能再也无法重返学校。”古特雷斯指出，要在疫情后有效恢复教育，需要对教师、数字化教学和未来化系统进行投资。 8、虎鲸搁浅在岩石中 好心人用桶接力提水为其降温 【综合讯】美国阿拉斯加一艘私人游艇开到加拿大海岸附近的一个海岛时，发现了一头搁浅在岩石中的虎鲸，远离海水。船员们立即用水桶去接海水浇在虎鲸身上，人们组成人链一桶一桶传递海水，虎鲸慢慢地活跃了起来，发出声音并抬起了尾巴移动了一下。 他们还叫来了美国国家海洋和大气管理局的工作人员，使用机器给虎鲸喷洒水雾。在大约6小时之后，虎鲸跟着潮水回到了大海里。 9、视频曝光NBA球星勒布朗·詹姆斯一把推开迎上前的球迷，网友吵翻…… 【联合早报】据报道，在上周日的一场音乐会上，NBA湖人队球星勒布朗·詹姆斯被拍到一把将热情上前的球迷推开。这段视频随后在社交媒体疯传，引发网友争论。有网友认为詹姆斯做的没问题，称他是在保护自己的“个人空间”。也有网友对此表示不能理解，认为詹姆斯行为“丑陋”，没必要用手推开球迷。 报道称，可以看到詹姆斯当时正在穿过拥挤人群，旁边是他的妻子和数名安保人员。此时一位手拿手机的球迷冲了出来，想要接近詹姆斯。英国《每日邮报》称，球迷应该是想和其合影。詹姆斯猛地将其推开，然后大步离去。目前詹姆斯和其管理团队尚未就此事予以置评。 10、数十名前奥运选手已卖掉奖牌：称缺钱或做慈善，最高近150万美元成交 【综合讯】据波士顿RR拍卖行(RR Auction)官网显示，近日，一枚1900 年巴黎奥运会的射击银牌以1283 美元的价格售出。 多年来，数十名前奥运选手已将奥运奖牌进行拍卖，一些人说是由于经济困难，另一些人则说是为慈善筹款。据悉，2019 年，美国非洲裔田径运动员杰西·欧文斯在 1936 年柏林夏季奥运会上赢得的一枚金牌被拍卖，成交价格近150万美元，创下了奥运纪念品的纪录。 11、监控画面曝光！蒙面男子朝街道人群连开数枪，打伤10人骑车逃跑 【ABC】据报道，当地时间7月31日晚，两名蒙面男子在纽约市一条繁华街道上向人群连开数枪，随后骑摩托车逃离，造成10人受伤。监控视频显示，两名头戴面具、身穿连帽运动衫的男子在皇后区第37大道上用手枪射击。另外两名同样蒙面的男子驾驶着摩托车跟在两名枪手后面，枪击事件发生后，枪手坐上摩托车逃离。 纽约警察局的调查人员表示，这起事件似乎与帮派暴力有关。被枪击的人中有三人是帮派的成员，据信他们是枪击事件的预定目标。其余7名枪击受害者是无辜的人。现场找到了至少37颗子弹壳，警方正在犯罪现场寻找证据。  12、澳政府花3800万元巨资开发防疫APP，半年仅44人用 【综合讯】据报道，澳大利亚政府耗资800万澳元（约合3800万元人民币）开发的新冠疫情手机应用程序（APP）的使用率及效果远远不及预期。在去年11月至今年5月的半年时间内，仅44名用户使用其共享信息。 虽然乏人问津、用处不大，但据英国《卫报》披露，该应用从上线到目前为止在苹果应用商店进行了24次更新，程序的维护成本为每月7.5万澳元。澳大利亚总理莫里森在推广COVIDSafe应用时曾高调表示，这是澳大利亚摆脱疫情封城的“门票”。天空新闻网澳大利亚频道称，这款“失败的”防疫APP遭到公众广泛批评：浪费纳税人的钱。 13、气急了！没有收到全额付款，德国建筑承包商开挖掘机捣坏全新住宅楼 【综合讯】在德国西南部，一场劳资纠纷突然升级成了一场匪夷所思的闹剧。“据报道，一名不满的建筑承包商租来一台25吨重的挖掘机，破坏了一栋他所建造的全新住宅楼，因为他没有获得全额的付款。 报道称，事发当天，这名建筑承包商开着租来的挖掘机，来到这栋即将启用的住宅楼前，用挖掘机的铲斗破坏了住宅楼的外墙、窗户、阳台等，现场到处都是大块的水泥砖块。报道提到，而他可能引此行而面临最高5年的监禁处罚，德国警方已经就财产损失提起刑事诉讼。而那些即将搬入全新公寓的住户们，要再等上几个月时间，直至维修完成才能入住。 14、英国一司机在沙滩上停车后被潮水围困 试图返回又困在海里 【每日邮报】据报道，英国威尔士一名司机近日驾车在格温内思郡一处沙滩上试图突破潮水围困时被淹没。据报道，这名司机不听劝阻，在海滩管理员多次警告存在危险后，仍将车开进该处海滩。 视频显示，涨潮后这辆车被海水包围，困在一小块海滩上。有人建议该司机放弃车辆，但他仍试图穿越。只见这辆车加速驶入水中，不一会儿便熄火，慢慢开始下沉。 15、挪威一居民家泳池水减少 结果发现是鹿组团来喝水 【综合讯】近日，挪威一户居民搬新家之后给院子里放了一个游泳池，但里面的水减少了，刚开始他们以为是漏水了，后来才发现是一群鹿经常来喝水。 起初，他们发现田野里有一只鹿，它时不时靠近人群，或者跑到有人的地方。后来有一段时间没有见到这只鹿，再见的时候这只鹿带了它的幼崽回来。时间久了，母鹿会让孩子们自己来，它们变得很勇敢，即使这家人在院子坐着，它们也会跳进泳池里玩耍或者喝水。

Sam was in the studio to explain the parameters of the COVIDsafe plans to get footy fans back into stadiums.

 Nilesh Makwana – Public Interest Technologist and CEO at illuminance Solutions says providing law enforcement with access to the data collected by COVID apps could lead to public distrust. “Covid-safety measures depend on good policy but also on public trust and adherence, so news that police had used the SafeWA app to access QR code check-in data as part of a murder investigation, understandably brought swift condemnation,” he said. The post Should police have access to the COVIDSafe app data? appeared first on Mitchell's Front Page.

What is QAnon and what's it doing in Australia? What was behind the spread of misinformation during the Black Summer bushfires? And what went wrong with Australia's ‘sunscreen', COVIDSafe? Jonathan Webb speaks with the science unit's tech reporter James Purtill about 2020 in technology news.

Scott Morrison's mid-year plan for a COVIDSafe economy is back on track having been derailed by Victorian bungling, but with vaccines uncertain and international borders closed, what is the outlook for Australia's coronavirus Endgame?  Can services like education and tourism ever rejoin king coal and iron ore as the foundations of our prosperity, at least any time soon? Why would any business invest when Governments can shut you down at any time? Scott and Chris are joined by Andrew Bushnell to answer those questions and also focus on our first COVID State election in Queensland, which also looks like a post-economics election, with ballooning debt and public service payrolls barely even mentioned (except by the IPA!). It's the clerisy's business model at work… And the other election coming up is in the USA - and it seems Trump's comeback has made it once again too close to call (except by the panellists). The call is made on Florida and the Latino vote. Both candidates played to their strengths and strategy but only one can be vindicated.  Culture picks (53:28-1:05:43) look at streaming services La Révolution and the disappointing Brave New World, while the coverage of the AFL Grand Final gives Bushnell a chance to wax lyrical about Richmond FC.   Show Notes: 'Enough is enough': Gladys Berejiklian calls for states to open borders, pull their weight on hotel quarantine; Jodie Stephens https://www.sbs.com.au/news/enough-is-enough-gladys-berejiklian-calls-for-states-to-open-borders-pull-their-weight-on-hotel-quarantine   Budget 2020: When will Australia re-open its borders?; Mosiqi Acharya https://www.sbs.com.au/language/english/budget-2020-when-will-australia-re-open-its-borders   Still the Sunshine State?

What are terrorists up to now during the pandemic? Are they more or less of a threat?   Whether it's Islamic State or right-wing extremists some experts are warning that the pandemic is giving terrorists a unique opportunity to recruit new members online. In this episode we speak with Greg Barton, one of Australia's leading experts on Islamic Terrorism who says there's actually been an uptick in attacks in parts of Iraq during this pandemic.   So what does that mean for us here in Australia? How has the pandemic affected the threat of attacks on Western soil? Gary Ackerman, a US terror expert, also joins us to answer the question: How will terrorists pivot in the pandemic?   In today's news headlines: WA family of toddler killed in Beirut to return to Australia Victorian mental health suffers in second lockdown  Top doctor says COVIDSafe app is working well   Follow The Briefing Instagram: @thebriefingpodcast  Facebook: TheBriefingNewsAU Twitter: @TheBriefingAU  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Guest episode from the BZE Community radio show. Our thanks to the team for allowing us to share it with you.  Also, we're announcing two new shows on the Climactic Collective. thEMPOWER and Sustainable You. Check out all the shows on the network at www.climactic.com.au. CLIMATE CRISIS FRONTLINES Episode 1- BANGLADESH 13th July 2020 Guests: Runa Khan - Founder of "Friendship" floating hospitals in Bagladesh https://friendship.ngo/floods-in-bangladesh-and-friendships-response/ https://friendship.ngo/about-us/leadership/runa-khan-founder-and-executive-director/ Dr Saleemul Huq - Scientist and Director of International Centre for Climate Change and Development https://www.iied.org/climate-covid-19-collaboration-we-need Sound Effects: by Maqubul from Freesound "Be prepared" is the message from Bangladesh. Runa Khan describes the thousand rivers and silt islands in her country. She says  saving lives is not enough.  Her floating hospitals have expanded into schools in the refugee camps, paralegal help, para-veterinary help and training people to maintain the solar panels that connect them to government services. The secret of a long lasting project like this is treating everyone with dignity. It is thrilling to hear how Runa imbues her volunteers and staff with a deep respect for human rights. She speaks to European donors in the same way, wanting their empathy and understanding in a sustained partnership rather than just a guilty cheque. She says seeing the Rohingya refugee camps nearly broke her but she is undaunted. This is one of our best podcasts and should be a tonic for anyone feeling climate angst or despair. The motto of "Friendship" is "Think big, start small, begin now!". Dr Saleemul Huq spoke to an international audience about "Climate, Covid19 and the collaboration we need." He described how the recent Cyclone Amphan was supercharged by the elevated temperatures in the Bay of Bengal. It caused damage in the Sundarban Forests and over two million people were evacuated to safety with their lifestock. But his pride is in the fact that the death toll was low. Compared to the 140,000 killed in the 1990's, Bangladesh is now a model of early warnings and adaptation. The millions of volunteers who go around with loud speakers in the villages, warning of a climate emergency, now go round wearing face masks and giving a Covidsafe health message.  "Be prepared!" Dr Huq says that Covid19 is a rehearsal for the great climate crisis which will affect all of us. He says governments and businesses who refuse to listen to scientists are acting unconscionably. Just as the pandemic crosses all borders so does the climate disruption we cause by our emissions. Listening to these two compassionate and energetic Bangladeshis will remind you of the moral vision of Martin Luther King. When I read  that Global Fossil Fuel Subsidies are currently $5.2 Trillion and $29 Billion in Australia according to the IMF, I understand why the climate frontline states demand justice. https://reneweconomy.com.au/global-fossil-fuel-subsidies-reach-5-2-trillion-and-29-billion-in-australia-91592/ As well as sending a cheque in a crisis and reconnecting with the Green bank, we need to understand and empathise with the suffering caused by the emissions our government is subsidising. This podcast might awaken some so please forward it to those who need to hear.   See /privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

After months of contradictory communication about the efficacy of face masks, they're now increasingly mandatory: in what ways do they work and should we be required to wear them? (1:43-17:00)   Federal Parliament has been punted once again after the PM cancelled the next two sitting weeks. With every other Australian business expected to adapt and function as COVIDSafe, why can't Parliament? (17:00-27:48)   Legislative reform is on the cards for Australia's unwieldy environmental regulations:  will green tape finally be cut to unleash economic recovery? (27:48-40:50).   Your hosts Scott Hargreaves and Chris Berg are joined by the IPA's Evan Mulholland to address these questions and dive into their isolation culture picks.

This week I'll talk to Don Anderson, Head of Family & Learning Partnerships for YouTube APAC about the rise of LEARNING via YouTube and the huge amount of content, and content creators out there, particularly in Australia. Plus, the COVIDSafe app - mega fail? And should it switch to the Google and Apple tracing system? Your calls on all manner of things from Bluetooth to WiFi and TVs, plus an interesting chat with a very young entrepreneur who is doing very well - just ask him..

We know that Covid-19 testing, especially in hotspots, will be key to stopping it's spread. However, since the second wave hit Melbourne we've heard of thousands of people who have refused the swab test. Should we throw the book at these people who say no? Or are there perfectly valid reasons to refuse the nasal swab?   Our guests to discuss this topic are Marylouise McLaws (UNSW Professor in infection prevention and is working on the World Health Organisation's COVID Advisory Panel) and Lawyer Bill O'Shea (former President of the Law Institute of Victoria, former General Counsel at Alfred Health for 13 years).   In today's news headlines: COVIDSAFE app push as cases climb NSW Covid Cluster Ghislaine Maxwell fights to keep secret doc out of court Trump finally masks up on visit to military hospital   In today's Briefing we ask: There are various state laws that allow authorities to fine people for not taking a test or you can isolate someone as a way of making them get the test -  should we use the full powers of the Public Health and Wellbeing Act to coerce people into taking the test?

The COVID-19-induced recession will be nothing like any recession, indeed depression, we have seen before. The difference this time is that the government is not reacting to poor market performance. Rather, it has actively directed business across Australia to close its doors. Bob Gregory is a former board member of the Reserve Bank of Australia. He says that the economy will be 'grim for six to nine months' and after that, it is impossible to know. Bob Gregory is Emeritus Professor at the Australian National University. Also Behavioural economist Bob Slonim explains why we need to think more creatively to inspire more downloads of the COVIDSafe app. Former research director of the prime minister's BETA unit, Bob Slonim is now at Sydney University.

Our Pubs and Clubs and restaurants have been hit really hard in this pandemic and for the most part they haven't complained, they've shut their doors in order to save lives.

Pandemics require individuals to contribute to the greater good. Behavioural economist, Stephen Whyte says that it is possible to 'nudge' people towards actions that improve their lives. Staying at home, social- distancing and downloading the COVIDSafe app are pro-social behaviours we can implement ourselves. But how do we incentivise big companies to put the necessary resources into finding a vaccine? Joshua Gans, author of Economics in the Age of COVID-19 explains.

This week we've seen more political side-effects of the coronavirus bubble up with China making sparring threats against Australia. Over in the US, the left has been starving for new victims and so began eating themselves more aggressively. On the Thursday Uncuckables panel is Tim Wilms Editor in Chief of The Unshackled, David Hiscox Editor of the XYZ and Marcia Leite a local nationalist wife and mother. Marcia was born in Brazil so as part of introducing her to the show audience Tim and Dave asked her to comment on the politics of Brazil including its traditionalist renaissance under President Jair Bolsonaro. Marcia is currently homeschooling her two children during the lockdown and enjoying keeping them safe from cultural Marxism at school. All three panellists are Victorian so are still living under house arrest under Premier Daniel Andrews. The North Territory has set a timetable for freeing its residents. Victoria's Deputy Chief Health Officer compared the Chinese invasion and infection of Australia with Covid19 to Captain Cook's landing at Botany Bay in 1770. Scott Morrison has told Australia's their ticket out of lockdown is to download the CovidSafe tracing app with 3 million have done so far. We have also been told to get our winter flu vaccination. Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk allegedly had her flu shot at a press conference on Wednesday though the 7News camera zoomed away the moment when the needle supposedly entered her skin. Communist China was extremely triggered this week with Australia for calling for an independent international investigation into the origins of the coronavirus outbreak. While ordinary Australians are laughing at China's trade threats businessman Andrew Forrest and Kerry Stokes worried about their mining exports have said we should cool it with China and respect their wet markets. Overseas New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio lashed out at the local Jewish community after Orthodox Jews in the city mass gathered for a Rabbi's funeral during lockdown. Actor Jeff Goldblum was criticised when judging a Muslim drag queen for highlighting the religion's homophobia and sexism. Also MeToo feminist and Harvey Weinstein whistleblower actress Rose McGowan has walked away from the Democrat Party for their defence of Joe Biden in sexual assault claims against Joe Biden by former aide Tara Reade.

The question is will Australia's homeless be turfed back on to the street after this pandemic? Or will the minor miracle that they've been kept quite safe help us find a long-term solution? Our guest is Gareth Ward - NSW Minister for Families, Communities and Disability Service.   Today's news headlines: The Key Covid info you need to know today (COVIDsafe app, NewMarch House, UK reporting deaths) Australia - China Relations hit new low Australia's Rental Affordability snapshot   On today's Briefing we ask: How did state governments around the country act quickly to put 2000 fought sleepers into accomodation? Why hasn't there been a Covid-19 outbreak in our homeless population? What is it like to be homeless and then be put up in hotel accomodation? What is going to happen to our homeless when this month is up? Will they just go back out onto the sleep or can we make the most of this opportunity and help them turn their lives around? If we were able to scale up so quickly, why didn't we do this before? What is the cost of putting up a homeless person into temporary hotel accommodation? What will the government be doing to keep people safe within the shelters?
