On today's Destination Special, we're taking you somewhere that, for so many travellers, represents the ultimate holiday feeling: Queensland, Australia.This is a state seven times the size of Britain! A place where one trip can take you from the cultural heartbeat and riverside energy of Brisbane, to the al fresco beach lifestyle of the Gold Coast, to ancient rainforest, island life, wildlife encounters, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island cultures, First Nations storytelling, and one of the seven natural wonders of the world, the Great Barrier Reef.Known as Australia's Sunshine State, Queensland is, of course, famous for its blue skies, golden beaches and that blissful sense of switching off the moment you arrive. But as I discovered through making this episode, it is so much more than that.And that, really, is what makes Queensland so compelling - it's not just one kind of holiday. It's a whole collection of holidays in one place. You can wake up in Brisbane, wandering along the river as the city comes to life, stop for brilliant coffee and world-class food, then be out in nature within minutes, perhaps heading to nearby Minjerribah, also known as North Stradbroke Island, for First Nations culture and extraordinary natural landscapes. You can head south towards the Gold Coast for beach walks, coastal drives, wineries, rainforest and incredible produce. Or you can travel north to the Whitsundays, where Hamilton Island, Whitehaven Beach and the Great Barrier Reef deliver that almost dreamlike version of Australia with its turquoise water, white sand, sailing, seafood, and warm tropical air.Today's guest is someone who experienced Queensland through one of its great strengths: food. Matt Tebbutt, chef, broadcaster and host of Saturday Kitchen, recently travelled there, eating his way through the state, from riverside restaurants and beachside lunches to extraordinary seafood and island dining.What struck me most in speaking to Matt was that the food became a way into everything else: the landscape, the wildlife, the culture, the openness, the warmth, and that easy-going Aussie outdoor lifestyle. This episode is wanderlust, guaranteed. So let's buckle up and get started.Destination RecapBrisbaneStanley Restaurant, BrisbaneHoward Smith Wharves, BrisbaneJames Street, BrisbaneLone Pine Koala Sanctuary, BrisbaneNorth Stradbroke Island / MinjerribahLady Elliot IslandThe Great Barrier ReefGold CoastRick Shores, Gold CoastTamborine Rainforest SkywalkMason Winery, Mount TamborineThe WhitsundaysHamilton IslandThe Sundays, Hamilton IslandWhitehaven BeachCatseye Pool Club, Hamilton IslandLong Pavilion at qualiaBommie, Hamilton IslandPassage Peak, Hamilton IslandThank you to Tourism and Events Queensland for working with me on this episode.

Photo courtesy Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission / Facebook All eleven federally recognized tribes in Wisconsin have seats on a new committee aimed at protecting wild rice. Chuck Quirmbach reports. Gov. Tony Evers (D-WI) has announced his 24 appointees to the Wild Rice Stewardship Council. One member, Gloria Waabigwan Wiggins (Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa), works for the group Wisconsin Native Vote. Wiggins also keeps up a tribal tradition, protected by a 1983 federal court ruling, of gathering wild rice in the ceded territory of Northern Wisconsin. “I’ve been harvesting wild rice, manoomin, with my husband for say, the last 9-10 years. Our powwow, our celebration of manoomin, is in August. So that’s a very important event for our community.” Wiggins says wild rice is also part of a sacred migration story for the Anishinabe, Indigenous people of the Great Lakes region. But tribal and state officials report low production of wild rice in recent years, due to factors like windstorms and very heavy rainfall, and long-standing threats like water pollution and excessive waves from boats. Another member of the new Stewardship Council, Eric McLester, helps direct environmental policy for the Oneida Nation. He says the big picture concern is climate change. “The amount of rain, water levels. It’s important to not have huge increases or decreases in water levels. Drought certainly impacts the wild rice beds.” McLester says the Oneida have restored about 35 acres of wetlands for wild rice production in recent years. He hopes the tribal members on the wild rice council can share best practices for the resource. It’s also possible the committee will propose new regulations to protect wild rice. A First Nations family in Canada is demanding answers after 24-year-old Jaali Sutherland-Weenie died during childbirth after reportedly being diagnosed with pre-eclampsia while 36 weeks pregnant. Family members say Sutherland-Weenie, from Beardy's and Okemasis’ Cree Nation in Saskatchewan, sought medical care in the days leading up to her death and raised concerns about symptoms linked to the dangerous pregnancy complication. According to the Mayo Clinic, pre-eclampsia causes high blood pressure during pregnancy and can quickly become life-threatening for both mother and baby if not closely monitored and treated. According to relatives, Sutherland-Weenie first went to a hospital in Rosthern before being transferred to Jim Pattison Children's Hospital and later to the labor and delivery unit at Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon, where she died on April 26 after giving birth to her daughter. Her death is now drawing attention from Indigenous advocates and community members who say Indigenous women continue to face inequities in maternal health care and are too often dismissed when reporting pain or complications. Loved ones are calling for accountability and a full review into what happened. Community members have also taken to social media to share condolences and call for better protections for Indigenous mothers navigating the health care system. The Saskatchewan Health Authority says a review is underway. Blayne Morin, Sutherland-Weenie's partner, said during a news conference held at Wanuskewin Heritage Park in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan earlier this week, he plans to attend her graduation ceremony next month to accept her degree on her behalf. Morin says the couple wanted to build a better life for their daughter than the ones they experienced growing up. “The family and I will be attending her congregation next month, taking her degree, and we planned so much for our baby before she made her appearance here. We didn't want her to grow up like how we did, breaking the intergenerational trauma.” Sutherland-Weenie leaves behind a newborn daughter and a grieving family now hoping her story raises awareness about the warning signs of pre-eclampsia and the importance of timely medical care.

Three of footy’s most exciting First Nations stars come together for a special edition of The Howie Games celebrating Sir Doug Nicholls Round. This is a conversation built on moments, connections and stories. From family ties and cultural pride to the influence of mentors, teammates and communities - and no shortage of CYRIL! The boys reflect on what it means to represent First Nations people on the AFL stage and why their impact stretches far beyond football. In a powerful and at times hilarious chat, they open up on identity, belonging, growing up with the game, and the joy and responsibility that comes with inspiring the next generation. Because First Nations excellence is more than football ability — it’s resilience, culture, connection and community. And when these boys shine, the game becomes stronger, richer and more meaningful for everyone. This is a highlight of the Howie Games so far! *** Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/ Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegames See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hello to you listening in Canberra, Australia! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. Here on Whidbey Island our Pacific Rim Institute for Environmental Stewardship is home to prairie, savanna and forest with over 50 species of rare native grasses and flowers including camas. Native across the Pacific Northwest, the stunning violet-blue flowers of camas historically lit up prairies, marshes, and oak savannahs. Camas once dominated open clearings carefully tended by First Nations people to maintain optimal growing conditions. Camas bulbs were dug in the fall and pit roasted to release simple sweet caramelized sugars, providing a staple food for thousands of years. In the early spring there are no camas flowers to be seen. Do the camas exist? Indeed they do but they have not yet manifested. The bulbs are lying in wait for the right blend of sun and warmth and rain to bloom. Practical Tip: We tend to think in terms of something existing or not existing; but that is not reality. When we pay careful attention we discover that what we're waiting for is there, hidden, for when the time is right to manifest. And it will because what we're waiting for is waiting for us. Guaranteed!  You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us! You will have wonderful company as we continue to walk our lives together.

"Person to person" is a 70-minute panoramic video exhibit in the 2026 Sydney Biennale by Sydney-based artists Merilyn Fairskye and Michiel Dolk which shares the rich history of Woolloomooloo — a pocket of public housing nestled right next to what has become the playgrounds and luxury apartments of the rich on Sydney Harbour — told through first-hand stories of local residents. In this interview with Green Left's Peter Boyle, Fairskye shares the background to this exhibition and insights that could be valuable to other public housing communities in inner-Sydney battling a relentless drive by developers and governments to privatise what they only see as prime real estate. "Person to person" is on display at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, which itself overlooks Woolloomooloo, until June 14, 2026. Entry is free.

Alberta premier Danielle Smith is calling a court ruling “antidemocratic” after judge struck down the petition which hoped to trigger a separatist referendum this fall. The ruling came in part because it found that the province failed to consult with First Nations whose treaty rights would be affected by a vote to separate. Still, separatist groups and the province are appealing the decision and looking to forge ahead.But how does Alberta's separatist movement stack up against other secessionist causes and how should Ottawa handle it? The Globe and Mail's Andrew Coyne joins us.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

Today's broadcast is dedicated to all women in prison, women who have been formerly incarcerated, with an added focus on ending strip searches in Australia. On today's show we first hear a conversation with Sohini Mehta and Monique Hurley from the Human Rights Law Centre. Monique is an Associate Legal Director in the First Nations Justice team at the Human Rights Law Centre, along with Sohini, who is a Senior lawyer in the same team. Sohini and Monique are co-authors of 'Ending Strip Searching in Australian Prisons', a joint report by the Human Rights Law Centre, Flat Out and the Formerly Incarcerated Girls Justice Advocates Melbourne (FIGJAM) collective that was published in March this year.After that, Marisa speaks with Tabitha Lean, First Nations prison advocate who will yarn about Crim Con 2026 which is a gathering built by and for criminalised and formerly incarcerated people, grounded in the belief that the people most impacted by prisons, policing and punishment are not just participants in these conversations, but leaders, theorists, artists and organisers in their own right.

'The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat'. It's an old chestnut that seems apropos in the blood sport of Alberta politics.The victory is for the Alberta government, as it clears another hurdle in its landmark energy deal with Ottawa. The province has reached an agreement with the federal government on increasing the effective industrial carbon price to $130 per tonne by 2040. While the Pathways Project on carbon capture, utilization and storage, a potential pipeline route, and a private sector proponent are still to come, the agreement could see construction on an oil pipeline to British Columbia start as early as September 2027.The defeat is for Alberta separatists hoping to see a question about independence on October's referendum ballot. A judge threw out a separatist petition, ruling that Elections Alberta should not have approved it and citing a failure to consult with First Nations. Premier Danielle Smith is now facing calls to put the separation question on the ballot herself.Kathleen Petty is joined on West of Centre this week by Trevor Harrison, a political sociologist at the University of Lethbridge; Lori Williams, a political scientist at Mount Royal University; and Jack Farrell, an Alberta legislative reporter for The Canadian Press. Host: Kathleen PettyGuests: Jack Farrell, Trevor Harrison, Lori WilliamsProducer: Diane Yanko

A federal judge just blocked Alberta's independence referendum from going on the ballot in October, ruling that the citizen-led petition — which gathered 300,000 signatures in four months — should have consulted First Nations first. Vance sits down with Dustin Newman, an Alberta oil company owner who helped collect those signatures and was active in the Wild Rose party, to figure out what just happened and what it means. Dustin walks through why the movement exists in the first place: a centralized federal system where Ontario and Quebec decide every election, billions of dollars in equalization payments flowing out of Alberta each year, a West Coast tanker ban that forces Alberta to sell its oil to the U.S. at a discount, and pipeline rules so cumbersome that no one will build them. He and Vance get into the history that shaped Alberta's independent streak — homesteaders surviving 40-below winters in sod houses, the trucker convoy, the COVID-era fights that toppled premiers — and the deeper structural pieces most Americans miss, like how First Nations treaties, mineral rights, and the Clarity Act actually work in Canada. They close on what comes next. Premier Danielle Smith can still put the independence question on the October ballot if she chooses, and Dustin argues she may have to: 60% of UCP members back independence, and she could face a leadership vote if she stalls. Polling sits around 30–40% in favor today, but a referendum win would force Canada into a negotiation it has never had to seriously consider — one Dustin believes could go peacefully, or could go the way the American colonies did.

This week on Panoramic Outdoors, we welcome Melanie MacCarthy, president of the Manitoba Lodges and Outfitters Association, for a conversation about one of the most talked about conservation proposals currently facing Manitoba — the Seal River Watershed proposal. Covering nearly 50,000 square kilometres of northern Manitoba, the Seal River Watershed has been described as one of the last completely intact watersheds remaining on earth. The proposal includes the possibility of an Indigenous Protected and Conserved Area, a national park reserve, expanded provincial parks, and a new shared management structure involving First Nations, Manitoba, and Canada. Melanie joins the show to break down the concerns being raised by lodge owners, outfitters, hunters, anglers, and northern operators. We get into questions surrounding access, hunting opportunities, tourism impacts, provincial authority, wildlife management, and what this proposal could mean for the future of outdoor recreation in Manitoba. We also discuss why the MLOA believes this proposal could create precedents for future land use decisions across the province, the importance of public engagement, and why Manitobans should understand what is being proposed before opinions are formed. Whether you agree with the proposal, oppose it, or are simply trying to learn more about it, this episode is about understanding the conversation from all sides and what the future of Manitoba's north could look like.   Thank you to our sponsors:  https://www.ihunterapp.com/  https://www.redneckhuntingcanada.com/ https://www.skre.ca

An Alberta court sides with First Nations and quashes a pro-separation petition -- which means the idea for a province-wide referendum on leaving Canada could be dead on arrival. The Nova Scotia government hits back at the union representing long-term care home workers -- suggesting their striking members might accept the offer on the table, if only they were given a chance to vote on it. There's now a better chance an uncontacted tribe in Brazil will remain that way -- after a move to preserve and protect a million acres of Amazonian land.

An Alberta judge struck down a separatist petition after several First Nations challenged it in court. The petition would have put the question of succession to a referendum.

This episode of Socially Democratic discusses the 2026 Federal Budget — Jim Chalmers' most ambitious yet — with Emma Dawson, Executive Director of the Chifley Research Centre, and economist Adam Triggs, Partner at Mandala. Is this really the most significant tax reform package in a quarter of a century? Stephen, Emma, and Adam think so. Here's why.

Alberta judge Shaina Leonard delivers a blow to the separatist movement, ruling petition organizers failed to consult First Nations whose treaty rights would be directly impacted by Alberta leaving Canada. Premier Danielle Smith immediately vows to appeal, suggesting the ruling is "undemocratic". Jespo leads off with a few thoughts (including the political calculus behind Smith's statement), and we connect with Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation Chief Allan Adam (41:20), who says the court's decision should close the chapter on separation talk once and for all.  TELL US WHAT YOU THINK: talk@ryanjespersen.com  THIS EPISODE IS PRESENTED BY HANSEN DISTILLERY.

Your region was already shaping what you wore, what felt normal, and what got you sideways looks at dinner, long before you had any framework for personal style at all.   Colin Woodard's American Nations framework proposes that North America is actually 11 distinct cultures, each with founding values that have persisted for centuries.   The eleven nations: Yankeedom (New England to the upper Midwest): Founded by radical Calvinists. Deep investment in education, community improvement, and civic duty. New Netherland (New York City metro): Founded by the Dutch as a commercial trading hub.

Manitoba's Chief Public Health Officer, Dr. Brent Roussin, declared a public health emergency over the rise in HIV rates, which have steadily increased since 2019. The province saw close to 330 new cases in 2025 - almost four time the rate of new cases 7 years ago. Host Maria Kestane speaks to Michelle Monkman, interim CEO of Keewatinohk Inniniw Minoayawin (KIM), to discuss why the province's healthcare system should be more welcoming of Indigenous healthcare practices, the importance of making sure provinces have testing resources, and how federal systems should take more accountability for the rise in rates.

The Federal Government says it's investing $1.2 billion in First Nations communities and Closing the Gap over five years as part of Tuesday's budget. Headline measures include new funding for remote jobs, community controlled health infrastructure, and programs to combat gendered violence. Despite these investments, some community leaders have told NITV they feel the budget left First Nations people behind.

Ep 606 - DRIPA and its legal consequences Guest: Robin Junger By Stuart McNish   The news in British Columbia is all about DRIPA – the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act. The premier of the province David Eby, in response to the December 2025 BC Court of Appeal Ruling of a case known as Gitxaala, raced to amend the act. His attempts to do so have become a headspinning spectacle.   The original case began in 2023 with a challenge to the Mineral Tenure Act, which allowed mineral explorers to strike a mineral claim without acquiring agreement and consent by the historical First Nation to the area.   The case upheld the miners' position that consent was not required during exploration. It was the first challenge to DRIPA. It was immediately appealed and in December of 2025, the Court of Appeal of BC overturned the lower court ruling by stating, “The Declaration Act gives a statutory mandate and duty to take all measures necessary to bring British Columbia's law into alignment with UNDRIP.”   “In other words,” says Indigenous legal authority,  Robin Junger, “the BC government must, as stated in its own words, follow the law it wrote and the court has no option.”   I invited Robin Junger of McMillan LLP to join us for a Conversation That Matters to outline exactly what DRIPA is and the legal ramifications of amending the legislation.   You can see the interview here https://www.conversationsthatmatter.ca/ Learn More about our guests career at careersthatmatter.ca

Interview with Peter Ruse, Head of Corporate Development, and Nicholas Holthouse, MD of Mont Royal ResourcesOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/mont-royal-resources-asxmrz-ashram-acquisition-drives-november-2025-asx-re-admission-8400Recording date: 4th May 2026Mont Royal Resources is on the verge of releasing a highly anticipated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for its Ashram rare earth project in Quebec, showcasing structural improvements that could redefine the project's financial viability. By strategically redesigning its operations, the company has successfully slashed projected capital costs by more than half, transforming the asset into an eminently financeable operation.This massive cost saving stems primarily from two pivotal decisions: securing a year-round southern road route instead of relying on ice-bound northern ports, and relocating the complex hydrometallurgical processing plant to the Port of Saguenay. Moving the plant away from the remote mine site to an established industrial port guarantees cheaper construction, better access to skilled labor, and proximity to mature mining services. Think of it like moving a specialized, high-tech manufacturing facility from an isolated island directly to an industrial park—everything from daily logistics to emergency maintenance becomes instantly more efficient and less expensive.Beyond its rare earth endowment, Mont Royal is unlocking a lucrative secondary revenue stream by actively targeting fluorspar. With impressive high-grade intersections reaching up to 20% and global metspar shortages driving prices to $400–500 per ton, this mineral acts as a standalone financial pillar rather than a mere byproduct. Despite a massive 200-million-ton resource, the operation is purposefully designed as a boutique, high-value asset. It plans to move roughly 70,000 tons annually in standard 20-ton shipping containers, significantly simplifying the supply chain compared to traditional bulk commodity movements.Crucially, Mont Royal is positioning itself to capture premium pricing outside of China's market dominance. By utilizing a CIF European price deck, the company aims to capitalize on extreme Western supply shortages. This disconnect is highlighted by europium prices, which can exceed $1,000/kg in Western markets compared to a mere $22/kg in China. With proven, uncomplicated metallurgy and firmly secured First Nations support, Mont Royal is advancing a generational critical minerals project ready to feed Western supply chains.View Mont Royal Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/mont-royal-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

NorthIsle Copper and Gold is up over 300% in the past year with a market cap approaching $1 billion thanks to high metal prices, M&A and strong government support. Mining Stock Daily talked to NorthIsle CFO Nicholas Van Dyk about the company's plans to publish an integrated resource update and prefeasibility study this year. Following the recent run-up in copper prices, M&A in the sector has surged — Eldorado Gold acquired Foran Mining for C$3.8 billion, while Faraday Copper consolidated its Arizona district by acquiring BHP's San Manuel property and securing C$100 million from both the Lundin Group and BHP — which brings us to , NorthIsle has raised $155 million in the past six months to accelerate development, with CFO Nicholas Van Dyk confirming that infill drilling at Northwest Expo has confirmed grade continuity and extended the deposit, while Red Dog results are expected in Q2, all feeding into an integrated resource update and pre-feasibility study targeted for Q4 2026. With the project included in BC's Critical Minerals Office, strong First Nations support from the Quatsino, Tlatlasikwala, and Kwakiutl nations, and a 2025 PEA showing a $2 billion NPV and 29% IRR at base case prices — rising to $3.8 billion and 45% at February 2025 spot prices — NorthIsle is positioning itself as one of the few large-scale, independent copper developers remaining in the Americas at a time when investible opportunities are increasingly scarce.

This week marked an important milestone in the separatist campaign in Alberta. After months of getting people to sign their petitions to trigger a referendum on independence, the separatist leaders submitted their signatures to Elections Alberta for verification. But Elections Alberta cannot count the signatures right now. That's because of a court injunction that was put in place last month while a judge considers whether the treaty rights of some First Nations have been violated. It's one of many legal challenges the separatist movement in Alberta is facing. Matthew Scace is a Globe reporter based in Alberta. He'll explain the two major cases against the separatists, and what the leaders say they'll do if the courts don't rule in their favour. Questions? Comments? Ideas?

First Nations, Inuit, and Métis leaders across Canada are calling for an investigation into the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). That's following a report by CBC Indigenous that uncovered evidence of a secret surveillance program targeting Indigenous organizations and individuals using wiretaps, informants, and counter subversion tactics from the late 1960s to the early 1980s. The report confirms what many Indigenous communities long suspected. We’ll also reflect on 150 years of the Indian Act, the Canadian federal statute that defines First Nations membership or “Indian Status”. A new bill in Canada’s parliament could significantly expand status eligibility for thousands of individuals and their descendants.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander listeners are advised this episode contains descriptions of an Indigenous person who has died. It's the story that has rocked Australia. A five-year-old girl disappeared from a town camp, sparking a desperate five-day search that ended in heartbreak.

Sacred Leadership is going to be an ongoing focus here at The Priestess Podcast - but what is it? Is it just a nice term for leadership that we're hearing more and more about - or something more? In this episode Julie will explain how sacred leadership is much, much more than that and its origins in the worlds of developmental psychology and First Nations elderhood through the work of Professor Robert Kegan and Dr Tjanara Goreng Goreng. Learn also why and how sacred leadership is an inner journey of development, it's importance for Julie to space holders and their work, and why we must be very mindful to never dismiss its origins in our work and marketing.  Website: www.juliesuzanneparker.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/julesyparker
