In this episode we're joined by Federal Member for Fenner, the Honorable Dr Andrew Leigh MP, and philosopher and emeritus professor of bioethics at Princeton University, Peter Singer, to consider if we should value the lives of unborn future generations, more than we value those of us alive today. The consideration of lives unborn sits at the heart of ‘existential risk'. It asks us to take seriously all the future generations who, if humanity gets it right, could end up far far more numerous than every life lived to date. We could in fact, be just at the beginning of our beautiful journey as a species. But we do face a number of very real risks that could literally destroy us all - biowarfare, climate change and AI to name but a few.So, should we spend our limited resources helping the poorest and most in need today, wherever they live? Or should we divert resources to reduce the sorts of risks which, if left unchecked, could prevent countless generations from coming into existence at all?Peter Singer - BioPeter Singer is emeritus professor of bioethics at Princeton University.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will today travel to Queensland where he will pledge to feed $7.2 billion of investment into fixing the Bruce Highway, which will lift the entire 1673km stretch of road to a minimum three-star safety rating. There have been 43 deaths on the major road this year - far above the five-year average of 31.

"Everybody needs to realise that whilst the Bruce Highway served its purpose, it was never designed to carry the amount of traffic that it does today, and that's why it needs some serious upgrades," he continued.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Federal Labor has launched a review into salmon farming in Tasmania as greenwashing continues to sweep across Australia's seafood industry. The review is driven by a coalition between the Bob Brown Foundation, the Australia Institute, and the Environmental Defenders Office. Federal Member for Braddon Gavin Pearce told Gary Hardgrave on 4BC Drive, "That $1.3 billion industry and those local jobs are the lifeblood of our west coast."

We rely on mining, tourism, and the salmon industry," "The real people of the world that's trying to put food on tables and trying to keep their families fed, it's affecting them the worst," he continued.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From the dawn of agriculture to AI, here is story of how ingenuity, greed, and desire for betterment have, to an astonishing degree, determined our past, present, and future.

Why didn't Africa colonize Europe instead of the other way around? What happened when countries erected trade and immigration barriers in the 1930s? Why did the Allies win World War II? Why did inequality in many advanced countries fall during the 1950s and 1960s? How did property rights drive China's growth surge in the 1980s? How does climate change threaten our future prosperity?

The Honourable Milton Dick MP, who is currently the Federal Member for Oxley, had the honouring in being elected as the 32nd Speaker of the Australian House of Representatives in July, 2022. With a strong focus on serving the community and helping whenever and wherever he can, Milton has had an association with the political landscape since he joined the ALP at the age of 18 as a university student and served as National President of Young Labor.  He's worked in a number of other roles, from Electorate Officer for David Beddall and a position working for Senator John Hogg, the President of the Senate at the time. In 2004, he was appointed as the ALP's State Secretary and Campaign Director, having served as a delegate to the national conference since 2001.

During his time as a Councillor, he held the Deputy Leader of the Opposition and then Leader of the Opposition from 2012 to the time of his resignation in 2016, where he he was pre-selected and elected as the Federal Member for Oxley, following the Hon Bernie Ripoll's retirement. During this episode, Milton's passion for people, for community and for increasing the level of what he calls Democratic Literacy is very evident. As the 32nd Speaker of the Australian House of Representatives, he takes huge pride in his position and the responsibility of the role is certainly not taken for granted.  It's a great conversation where he shares plenty of his thoughts, reflections and information on life, people and politics.

In this episode Shannan has a in-depth conversation with Ian as he describes how what he read the morning of September 10, 2013 transformed his way of thinking and looking at the world. It was at that specific moment of silence that lead him to quiet his job and be of service to others full-time May 14, 2014. Ian shares his amazing journey and how he has changed many lives to this day and continues to on a daily basis.   Ian's Information: Ian Westmoreland is the founder of the not-for-profit organisations Mentoring Men and Kintsugi Heroes. A life-changing moment in September 2013 would alter the course of Ian's life. It would see him leave a lucrative, 42-year IT career to devote himself entirely to volunteer work. By sharing his inspirational story, Ian demonstrates how removing the many masks we wear for others allows us to reveal our authentic selves, improve relationships, meet new people, and reclaim control of our lives. Engage Ian to speak at your event if you want attendees to: ● Be inspired ● Discover their true purpose ● Get moving and embrace change ● Transform lives to make the world a better place    Ian spent 42 years working in the Australian and New Zealand telecommunications and energy industries mainly as  an IT project manager. On 10 September 2013 he experienced a life changing moment so profound, it would lead  him to give up paid work in May 2014 to commence a full-time volunteer career.  It was during his work as a volunteer for not-for-profit youth programs such as the Raise Foundation, Kidshope and  COACH, Ian noticed a gap in comparable services for mature adults.  However, it wasn't until his own moment of challenge that he realised just how urgently these services were  needed, especially for men, a demographic that has historically struggled with vulnerability and asking for support.  In response he developed the Mentoring Men program in June 2018 and it was officially launched as a registered   charity by Julian Leeser, Federal Member for Berowra in November 2018. In just three years, Mentoring Men grew to  become an Australia-wide, free mentoring service to support men.  With the Mentoring Men organisation now independently up and running, in December 2022 Ian launched another  “passion project” called Kintsugi Heroes. Complementing his previous volunteer work, Kintsugi Heroes aims to show   how those major moments of challenge we face can change the course of our life, making it even more beautiful and  fulfilling than ever before.  Kintsugi Heroes is a weekly podcast of inspirational interviews with people who have discovered beauty, despite the  incredible adversities they have faced. It's a no-holds-barred approach that doesn't sugar-coat the difficult road to a  life of fulfilment and hope. One of the first podcasts published was Professor Gregory Smith's inspiring story.   Ian's story has been covered on national TV, has been referred to in both Federal and NSW State Parliaments, and  included in the Moments in Time book as well as numerous podcasts, newspapers, and radio shows.   Ian and the charity organisations he established have won  numerous awards including: • NSW Volunteer of the year award 2016  • NSW Volunteer of the year award 2020 – Individual and   Mentoring Men State Finalist • AMHF Men's Health Awards 2020 – NSW Men's Health  Award  Ian has been married to Helen for 40 years and they have 4  children and 12 grandchildren.   Kintsugi Heroes Website -             https://kintsugiheroes.com.au/ Facebook -          https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100084850387170 LinkedIn -             https://www.linkedin.com/company/kintsugi-heroes/?viewAsMember=true Instagram -         https://www.instagram.com/kintsugi.heroes/ YouTube -            https://www.youtube.com/@kintsugiheroes/videos Spotify -               https://open.spotify.com/show/3Ljf12pNJ27600dNAj3Cbg   Mentoring Men Website -             https://mentoringmen.org.au/ Facebook -          https://www.facebook.com/MentoringMenAus LinkedIn -             https://www.linkedin.com/company/mentoring-men/?viewAsMember=true Instagram -         https://www.instagram.com/mentoringmenaus/   CONNECT WITH SHANNAN MONDOR: Website Facebook IG Email- info@shannanmondor.com   When you have faith in yourself you will have fulfilment in all areas of your life!
