Bill Fawkner-Corbett, Head of SIGnet, takes us through his journey of discovering Compounders and the reasons for investing in them. He gives one example of a mistake he made selling Microsoft, which made him realise he had no effective tool for valuing Compounders. In his subsequent reading, he discovered the Graham Formula, which gave him a method for calculating the PE ratio for a company based on growth. This set him on a search for alternative methods that would take account of other metrics (e.g. return on capital) in the PE calculation; his explanation of what he found is fascinating. Although all the examples he gives in the presentation are US shares, the majority of Bill's portfolio is in UK shares – he stresses that more than a few of these he considers to be Compounders. This is a presentation Bill gave to his SIGnet group and is an example of the material that might be covered by your local SIGnet - Serious Investor Group Network. SIGnet groups of private investors meet regularly to discuss shares and investing strategies to benefit their investing performance.

Patty has also ministered as a media officer with Catholic Religious Australia, as the Director of UNIYA Jesuit Social Justice Centre, and has twice served on her congregational Council.

Patty is currently the Vice President of Catholic Religious Australia. She is a writer and facilitator, and a lover of bush walking and reading. She has a keen interest in politics, current affairs and questions of justice and spirituality.

Σε σοβαρές αποκαλύψεις προχωρά δημοσιογραφική έρευνα του δικτύου ABC, σε σχέση με την Ελληνορθόδοξη Αρχιεπισκοπή Αυστραλίας, και το γηροκομείο της Βασιλειάδας, στο προάστιο Fawkner της Μελβούρνης.

In wijken waar er veel moslims wonen zijn de niet-moslim buren minder angstig voor hun medebuurtbewoners dan in wijken waar er weinig moslims wonen. Dat bleek uit een onderzoek van de RMIT die de Melbournese wijken Fawkner en Broadmeadows nader bekeek. Nu is dat onderzoek uitgebreid naar 5 wijken in Melbourne en vijf wijken in Sydney. Karien Dekker, Associate Professor aan de RMIT, hoopt dat de resultaten van dit onderzoek invloed gaan hebben op het woonbeleid van de Australische overheid.

Το κέντρο φροντίδας ηλικιωμένων της Βασιλειάδας (St Basil) στο Φώκνερ της Μελβούρνης αντιμετωπίζει ομαδική αγωγή, για φερόμενη παραβίαση του καθήκοντος περίθαλψης εν μέσω της κρίσης του Covid. Την σχετική αποκάλυψη έκανε η ηλεκτρονική έκδοση Guardian στην Αυστραλία.

Aged Care Minister Richard Colbeck, confirmed his conversation with Greek Orthodox Archbishop Makarios, regarding the situation in St. Basil's aged care facility in Melbourne's northern suburb of Fawkner. - Συνομιλία με τον Αρχιεπίσκοπο Αυστραλίας, κ. Μακάριο, για την κατάσταση στη Βασιλειάδα, είχε ο υπουργός Φροντίδας Ηλικιωμένων, Ρίτσαρντ Κόλμπεκ, όπως επιβεβαίωσε, χθες, στο πρόγραμμα μας.

There are many developments in the last 24 hours in the management of the COVID-19 outbreak that occurred in the Greek nursing home of "St Basil's in Melbourne's Fawkner. An online meeting was held on Sunday regarding the handling of the outbreak. - Πολλές είναι οι εξελίξεις το τελευταίο 24ωρο στην διαχείριση της κρίσης που έχει προκείψει στο ελληνικό γηροκομείο της «Βασιλειάδας» στη Μελβούρνη, ενώ διαδικτυακή σύσκεψη πραγματοποιήθηκε την Κυριακή και αφορούσε τον χειρισμό των κρουσμάτων στη «Βασιλειάδα».

Greek Australian John Atzarakis and his family are going through the worst days of their lives as their elderly mother, Mrs. Fotini Atzarakis, is fighting for her life. Her state of health deteriorated as she tested positive for COVID-19 a few days after she was submitted at St Basil's Homes for the Aged operated by Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia, in Melbourne's suburb of Fawkner. Mr. Atzarakis spoke to SBS Greek. - O Ελληνοαυστραλός Γιάννης Ατζαράκης και η οικογένειά του περνούν τις χειρότερες μέρες της ζωής τους καθώς η ηλικιωμένη μητέρα τους, Φωτεινή Ατζαράκη, δίνει μάχη για να κρατηθεί στη ζωή.

Ατζαράκης μίλησε στο SBS Greek.

The spread of the coronavirus in nursing homes in Victoria is ongoing and the numbers are tragic. There are currently 560 active cases linked to aged care settings among them, 78 cases in St Basil’s Homes for the Aged, in Fawkner which released a statement regarding as a response to recent allegations. and the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew sent a letter of sympathy to the Archbishop of Australia Makarios. - Τραγικά είναι και τα σημερινά στοιχεία για την διασπορά του κορωνοϊού σε οίκους ευργηρίας και μονάδες φροντίδας ηλικιωμένων της Βικτώριας.

We begin season 3, the only way we possibly could, politically. Most listeners will be aware that Australia is currently in the midst of an federal election. Here at binge thinking, we wanted to speak with youth representatives of each the parties to find out what they think the issues are, and why they feel they are best placed to look after your interests. Fundamentally, we wanted to know what makes a young person see the a bright future with a particular political party? So we approached the offices of the Young Liberals, Young Labor and Victorian Young Greens, along with some of their millennial candidates. And while the Liberal and Labor parties did not respond to our requests for an interview, one millennial Greens candidate did. Adam Pulford is a 29 year old social activist running as the Greens candidate for the electorate of Wills, which stretches from Melbourne's Inner north of Brunswick through to Coburg, Pascoe Vale, Fawkner and Glenroy. The seat is currently held by Labor's Peter Khalil by 4.9% and is considered in play for the Greens who won 31% of the primary vote in the last election. So how did Adam, a 29 year old (originally from the Northern Territory) who grew up socially conservative and first voted Liberal in 2007, end up becoming a Greens political candidate with an actual chance of winning? Adam and Caspar sat down to discuss this, along with his life working as a social activist, his work with Greens MP Adam Bandt, his views on leadership, how he came to terms with his homosexuality, and going public about his mental health. As always, this episode was produced and edited by the incredibly talented and hard working Nina Roxburgh and features music by Big Gigantic.

Lieven Ameel of the University of Tampere (Finland) on the literary unease of urban life by This Must be The Place This episode of This Must Be the Place features an interview by David (a self-confessed Finnophile) with Lieven Ameel at the University of Tampere in Finland, when David was a visiting scholar. They discuss Lieven’s book about literary representations of urban life in Helsinki in Early 20th Century Finnish Literature ("Helsinki in Early Twentieth-Century Literature: Urban Experiences in Finnish Prose Fiction 1890-1940" blogs.helsinki.fi/urbannarratives/publications/). Finish literature from the early 20th century tends to have been threaded through with unease about urban life – lots of farm girls getting exploited etc., perhaps because “it’s so easy to use a city is a metaphor or allegory of the human capacity for good and evil”. Apparently there was a rich body of urban literature from Finland, but this has largely been forgotten and not translated – even works by authors whose rural-based work is better known. In Finland, seemingly universal anxieties about cities and change were amplified by the fears of a newly formed country that defined itself in rural terms. Also, if you listen right to the end there’s us discussing Fawkner cemetery, Beechworth asylum, unmarked graves at Sunbury asylum, and more. Note - in the podcast we wonder aloud - when did cremation become legal in Victoria? The answer seems to be: 1903.
