The Australian government provides various grants and funding opportunities to support property development in the country. These grants are designed to encourage and facilitate investment in property development projects that create jobs, stimulate economic growth and improve the living standards of Australians. In addition to grants, the government also provides tax incentives and other measures to encourage investment in property development projects.   Since the reveal of the 2023 Australian Federal Budget we have seen an emphasis on building to rent. The government is looking to fill a need in the market and as property developers they want to assist and reward you for filling that gap.    So, we caught up with Property Lover Lisa, who joins Dominique for a sitdown discussion on government grants, tax breaks, the 2023 Federal Budget and how you can take advantage of the current market conditions.    Get ready to find out:  What types of Government Grants are available Where the Government is focusing its efforts Are Government Grants worth it with all the red tape?

We know that times are tough for GPs, just trying to get into one in parts of the country is almost impossible. I've been taken back talking to you over the last few months about some of the wait times that you're experiencing when it comes to getting into your GP or being able to sign up with the GP if you're looking for a doctor if you've moved to a new area. It is now even more disappointing to learn that some family doctors are cutting services such as childhood immunisations due to chronic staff shortages and underfunding. They call it a crisis. If you take a look at the number of people turning up at emergency departments and 24-hour care departments it's hard to disagree.  The General Practice Owners' Association undertook a survey, and the results show us that GP services are at a critical crossroads. So more than half, 53 percent, of essential family doctor clinics have reduced their services, and over a third, 36.5 percent, have completely withdrawn some services altogether. I'm wondering if this is something you have noticed at your family doctor's clinic?  185 responses from member GPs across the country show that practices are struggling to find and retain doctors and nurses. They're showing increasing waiting times for appointments, as we know, feeling that they're compromising patient health and are putting a burden on after-hours and emergency departments.   Look, it was also good news to hear that the Government is prepared to train 300 GPs, up from 200. Only problem is where do those extra 100 people come from? General practice isn't exactly selling itself at the moment is it? These junior doctors aren't coming out of med school going yeah, that's for me! That looks fantastic, that looks like good lifestyle choice!  How do we encourage junior doctors to jump into the sector to be those hundred extra people that we can train? Look, we know that by 2030, half of the current GPs will no longer be working. We've known this for a really long time.  So we have to work hard to incentivise junior doctors to come into general practice. And we need to incentivise practices to take them on as well.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Should taxpayers financially incentivise political parties to be better, do better?  Tonight on #ConsiderThis we ask our guests why they believe the Political Funding Bill should also include allocations from the national budget for political parties.

In this episode, our Network Development Manager, Matt Blakeley, talks to Ant Persse, chief executive of Saltare, about how they're working with SMEs to incentivise early payments along their supply chains to reduce late payments and keep cash flowing between businesses.It is estimated that 82% of businesses fail not because of lack of profit, but through lack of cash. Yet, studies suggest UK SMEs are currently waiting on almost £200bn tied up in unpaid invoices. Saltare is one of the Smart Manufacturing Alliance's partners, and members can get access to Saltare's innovative payment systems that incentivise early payments so that businesses can strengthen their working relationships and boost their growth thanks to more secure cashflow.

Matsyanyaaya #1: Material Partnerships Today and Tomorrow— Pranav R SatyanathIn June 1939, the United States Congress passed the Strategic and Critical Materials Stockpiling Act to ensure the steady supply of raw materials that were deemed to be critical for economic development and national security. Strategic materials at the time included those that were essential for nuclear research, like uranium and thorium. Although these materials were by no means rare in the form of natural ore, the rarity of these materials came in two forms. 1.) They were concentrated in a small number of locations around the world. 2) The process of refining the ore to useful purity was long and expensive. Of course, since nuclear energy could be harnessed for both the purposes of economic development and making nuclear weapons, securing these materials for one's own interests while stopping the adversary from doing the same became the top priority. Like-minded nations, therefore, had a keen interest in keeping their knowledge of strategic materials a secret, leading to agreements in the early years such as the Quebec Agreement of 1943, under which the US, Britain and Canada agreed to stockpile strategic materials and censor information regarding nuclear research.In the early years of the Cold War, the Americans went many steps further to ensure that the Atlantic alliance provided a steady supply of strategic materials. First, through the Marshall Plan’s controlling body, the Economic Cooperation Administration, the US incentivised their European partners to produce strategic materials which were later exported to the US. Second, the US and the NATO members established the Coordinating Committee for Multilateral Export Controls (COCOM) to exercise control over the East-West trade on strategic materials. The goal was to restrict the export of material that were in short-supply, rather than use it as a tool for coercion. This is because it was assumed that the Eastern bloc was self-sufficient in most strategic materials.Alliances and partnerships in the early days of the Cold War played an important role in securing materials that were deemed as essential for national security. But why is this history relevant today? Last month, the United States announced the establishment of the Mineral Security Partnership (MSP), whose goal is to secure critical materials that are deemed essential for economic development. The new partnership includes Australia, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Sweden, the European Commission, the UK, the US, and the US.Today’s strategic materials (or critical materials) are quite different from the days of the Cold War. Lithium, cobalt, samarium, europium, and neodymium make up a bulk of the elements that are crucial for the production of batteries and electronic components. China has a clear dominance in the supply of rare earths, with nearly 90% of the global supply concentrated in the Bayan Obo region of Inner Mongolia. China’s dominance over rare earth elements has remained a concern for many years, with its monopoly over strategic materials increasing due to the growing demand for green technologies. Other concerns include the exploitative nature of Chinese mining in Africa, particularly the Democratic Republic of Congo.The success of the MSP will be determined by how effectively the partnering countries can secure the supply of strategic materials and decouple from Chinese dependence. This not only means that the countries within the partnership bring together their own resources, but also successfully negotiate fair agreements with other countries, particularly resource-rich African states.India currently lacks a coherent strategy for securing strategic materials. Since the security of these materials is highly contingent on India’s ability to partner with resource-rich countries, India must make every effort to join partnerships such as the MSP. Domestically, India must set up a Department of Rare Earths to spearhead India’s rare earth diplomacy and attract investment from foreign players.Cyberpolitik: Does China See Everything?— Ranjeet Rane"Everything is seen in China." These were the famous (last?) words of a member of TikTok’s Trust and Safety team as per a  report by Buzzfeed last month. Tik Tok - the viral video-sharing app owned by Chinese tech company ByteDance - is no stranger to regulatory staredowns in the US. In 2020, President Donald Trump issued an executive order requiring TikTok to be sold to an American company or risk getting banned. TikTok contested the order in court, and later, President Biden revoked it. As it turns out, the reasons the Trump administration gave for issuing the order, namely the rampant collection of user data, including biometric data and its access by Chinese authorities, may not have been entirely incorrect. The Buzzfeed report that analysed recordings from internal team meetings points to unhindered access to US data in China despite assurances given otherwise. The chain of events set off by the report included TikTok’s response to a letter by US senators where it acknowledged that certain employees outside the US could access information from American users. The Senate Intelligence Committee has now issued a letter to the Federal Trade Commission asking it to open an investigation into TikTok’s repeated misrepresentations about its data security practices and corporate governance in front of US lawmakers. This was followed by a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) member writing to Apple and Google to ban the app from their respective app stores, citing national security concerns. Their concerns are not entirely unfounded. TikTok’s data harvesting and sharing models have come under continued scrutiny across the globe, primarily owing to the possible influence of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) over the leadership of ByteDance. This was particularly laid bare in 2018, when Zhang Yiming, ByteDance’s founder, made a public apology and shut down ByteDance’s joke-sharing app for having “content that goes against socialist core values”.Interestingly, the executive order issued by President Trump came on the back of a blanket ban issued by India in July 2020 against a slew of Chinese apps, including TikTok, as a reaction to a bloody border skirmish. The explanation given in a widely circulated press release mentioned that these apps are engaged in “stealing and surreptitiously transmitting users’ data in an unauthorized manner to servers which have locations outside India”. National security concerns were being addressed through technology policy interventions for the first time - a template the US administration may now employ for its own interests. TikTok has responded with Project Texas - an attempt to keep all American user data on the Oracle server so that the data always stays within the US. But looking at the damage already done, this may be too little and too late.Matsyanyaaya #2: How India and China can Develop a Geoengineering Governance Framework— Arjun GargeyasIn this week’s edition, I am going a little off-topic and discussing environmental policy and climate tech for combating climate change. Here is where the concept of geoengineering comes into the picture. What and why it mattersIn layman’s terms, geoengineering refers to the human involvement made in the Earth’s natural processes to counteract the effects of climate change. It involves large-scale interventions in the planet’s functioning by human actions in order to mitigate the extent of the crisis. The main principle used in the process is reducing the CO₂ content in the atmosphere through human intervention. This would result in trapping less heat in the atmosphere eventually slowing down the effect of global warming. It is considered both as an alternative to cutting carbon emissions and as a field of ‘scientific taboo’ due to its research infancy and any probable implications on the environment itself.The main field of geoengineering is the concept of solar radiation management, which involves reflecting a fraction of the incoming sunlight to cool a warming planet. One process is ‘stratospheric injection,’ which involves spraying reflective aerosols into the stratosphere. Attempts have also been made by Russian scientists in what they have called the SPICE Project. The scientists ended up pumping particles through a high-altitude balloon that would scatter them once reaching a specific height in the atmosphere.However, these experiments were frowned upon by the majority of the scientific community. Fears were raised regarding how tinkering with natural processes might alter precipitation patterns and reduce crop growth in certain areas. Further damage to the ozone layer was also considered a possibility. This kind of blow-back risked unintended consequences for humanity as a whole. With no framework to govern the use of solar engineering methods, there is a need for someone to step in and ensure responsible development of the field.Development vs deployment?India and China currently have their task cut out while framing climate-related policies. This is due to the high population and the enormous volume of carbon emissions by both countries. Geoengineering and solar radiation management is a well-thought-out approach to building cost-effective models to tackle the effects of climate change. Natural phenomena and their subsequent aftereffects have buttressed the idea of this concept.However, there have been recent calls to completely stop any solar radiation management research. The ‘International Solar Geo Non-Use Agreement’ was proposed by over 60 scholars (mostly from the West) arguing for a moratorium on research in the field. They claimed that the concept was still theoretical and that reflecting large amounts of sunlight can damage existing ecosystems and human settlements. While this might be true, it may not justify halting primary research in the field.India and China have the possibility of driving forward the conversation on continuing credible research in the field of geoengineering. Both countries have been torchbearers for the rest of the developing world at climate conferences and both can work together to formulate a well-rounded governance framework regulating the research and technology in the field. If this is indeed a fast-track solution to tackle climate change, developing countries can indulge in utilising these techniques to meet climate goals.While ethical considerations should be taken into account, the two countries can develop a holistic model (that also looks at potential negative consequences of geoengineering techniques) to have solar radiation management as a probable climate policy option. National agencies can be set up for funding solar geo-tech research and also keep tabs on the experiments being conducted. Incentivising development in the field must be a priority for both countries.However, considering the historical criticism of the field as well as the concept of unanticipated consequences of human actions, the framework must be robust enough to account for the pitfalls of the field itself. Advocating for responsible use of these techniques must be a priority for both nation-states. They must ensure that any governing mechanism that deals with geoengineering processes and techniques must address the risks that might result from human intervention. There must also be a mechanism to deploy these technologies when considerable research has been conducted and the potential effects of using these geoengineering techniques have been identified. It is in the interest of both India and China to advocate for an enhanced research environment in the geoengineering field. This can change the way states approach tackling climate change and meeting their climate goals.(This is an edited version of an article that came out first in Firstpost)Antariksh Matters: Russia’s Satellite Dazzler— Aditya RamanathanFresh open-source intelligence suggests Russia is developing a fixed laser-based satellite dazzling system. In a new article in The Space Review, Bart Hendrickx, a veteran observer of Russia’s space programme, presents evidence that Russia is building a satellite dazzling system called Kalina at the Ministry of Defence-run Krona space surveillance facility in the Caucasus. According to Hendrickx, construction began on the Kalina project in August 2019. The latest satellite imagery shows a telescope dome is already in place. Hendrickx cites tender documents that suggest Kalina will feature a dome that can separate into two sections in less than 10 minutes and enable “the telescope to scan the entire sky all the way from the zenith to an elevation of 30°”.Kalina appears to be designed to both transmit lasers and receive them when a target reflects them back, which allows for more accurate tracking. It also features an “adaptive optics system,” which is almost certainly the designed for its specific counterspace role:“Kalina most likely needs the adaptive optics system to produce images of the target that are sharp and detailed enough to make sure that the laser beams can subsequently be accurately aimed at the object’s optical systems.”Other Dazzlers Russia claims to already have at least one satellite-dazzling system in operation: the Peresvet mobile laser dazzler. First unveiled in 2018, the Peresvet was reportedly operational by December 2019. According to the Secure World Foundation’s latest Global Counterspace Capabilities report, the Peresvet “consists of a laser connected to a gimbaled mirror, all of which is mounted inside a truck-towed trailer.” The Peresvet is deployed with Russia’s strategic forces and is evidently meant to dazzle or disable both low earth orbit (LEO) satellites and aerial reconnaissance vehicles tracking batteries of mobile ICBM launchers such as the RS-24/ Topol-MR.  Hendrickx points out that it’s not clear is whether Peresvet and Kalina are meant to merely “dazzle”, that is, temporarily make the lenses on a target satellite non-operational, or whether they could “blind” a satellite, that is, permanently damage or destroy optics. What’s also left to speculation is whether these systems are actually effective: accurately aiming a laser at a satellite, keeping it on target for a sufficient period of time, and overcoming atmospheric attenuation, are all difficult tasks. Furthermore, many satellite lenses can automatically shut off when they are struck by blinding light. This may make it difficult to cause actual damage, but by forcing an adversary satellite to briefly shut its lenses, an attacker like Russia may still achieve its objectives. Indeed, one of the key attractions of such lasers is that they can be used in a variety of strategic conditions, ranging from peacetime and crises (in which they may only “dazzle”), all the way up to outright war, (in which they could seek to cause permanent damage to target satellites). Unsurprisingly, China appears to have an anti-satellite laser system deployed in Xinjiang, and reportedly “illuminated” a US satellite in 2006. In the coming years, it’s quite likely leading powers will field such systems on highly mobile land, naval, and airborne platforms. Our Reading Menu[Opinion] Nurturing open source is in our national interest by Bharath Reddy.[Book] The Nature of Technology: What it Is and How it Evolves by W.

Sick of expensive acquisition costs? This is how to grow a brand with organic TikTok (read: no ad spend). This episode features the founder of a hemp cigarette company. And guess what - he can't advertise on Facebook or Google due to the nature of the product. So, he had to get super creative to figure out how to acquire customers and get in front of people.  After several failed attempts he found massive success with organic TikTok.  He did $500k in revenue in year 1 with no paid ad spend, and no employees while working full time at his agency. All because of their viral TikTok videos.  This is also an interesting vantage point because the brand made its own videos (and he was the one making them). So it's a little different than the other TikTok success stories with influencer marketing out there right now.   Episode Highlights: 7:33 How to launch a business when your ad account gets shut down  10:07 Marketing and positioning for a novel product  12:01 Do you start with product development or marketing?  13:50 How to identify areas you need to hire for  18:19 Content creation strategy: how to manage it internally  23:52 How to Grow a Brand With Organic TikTok 24:45 Why SEO is important again  27:00 Easy and quick ways to track influencer performance  32:19 Incentivising word of mouth  35:04 Thinking long term customer journey  39:52 Opportunities for growth in eCommerce right now  Resources: The Brand Growth Membership (Join today to get 7-days for $1) @BrandGrowthX on Twitter Review or subscribe on iTunes

In this week's episode, Mary and Emma talk with Amanda Cather from The Million Acre Challenge, a nonprofit organization that helps Maryland farmers build soil health, increase farm profitability, and improve water quality – while making farms resilient and active in the face of climate change. Their farmer-focused collaborative uses soil health science, economics, education, and incentives to achieve their mission. Amanda's early training in pre-med led her from an interest in equitable food access to a career path in urban agriculture, and ultimately to running her own farm raising grass-fed livestock. Now, alongside the team at Million Acre, the goal is to achieve one million agricultural acres in Maryland using healthy soil techniques by 2030, while sharing best practices and making healthy soil connections throughout the Chesapeake watershed.   Throughout the episode, Amanda shares her knowledge surrounding the effort. She educates us on the industrial versus ecological models, and introduces us to the multiple factors that affect the way farmers must approach soil improvement. She stresses the importance of listening to farmer's voices and supporting their journey, as well as, fighting for systems that reward good stewardship and value biodiversity. She explains there are multi-pathways to healthy soil and no one way to achieve the goal. The key to progress in this effort is maintaining curiosity and communication along the way, and remembering that healthy soil (good dirt!) is the foundation of everything.     1:30 - Mary and Emma check in to see how Plastic Free July is going!  4:00 - Amanda Cather of Million Acre Challenge  Let's get into the episode: 5:45 - Amanda introduces herself  11:00 - What is the Million Acre Challenge?  20:30 - Connecting to the issues  23:30 - Incentivising soil health and funding the transition  27:00 - Nutritional quality of crops  34:00 - Equity  43:00 - Lobbying to change  48:00 - Engaging with farmers  50:00 - What does the Good Dirt mean to you?  Things Mentioned:  Million Acre Challenge  IG: @soilchallenge The Land Institute  Plow and Stars Farm Guidelight / Patagonia Report  Pasa Sustainable Agriculture Soil Health BenchMark Study UMD Organic Grains Transition Project  American Farmland Trust Soil Health Institute   Maryland Department of Agriculture USDA FFAR The Farm's Project  Regen1 The Real Food Project  The Agriculture Resilience Act Fair Farms Pledge Lady Farmer  The ALMANAC
