У просеку, Аустралијанци живе око 83 године, али очекивани животни век Абориџина и људи са острва Торесовог мореуза, краћи је у односу на осталу популацију за осам година. Како би се овај и други животни исходи за аутохтоне народе побољшали, постављени су темељи за иницијативу под називом Затварање јаза (Closing the Gap). Шта се променило од покретања овог националног споразума и где је аустралијско друштво данас по питању ових разлика, тема је серијала Упознајмо Аустралију (Australia Explained).

Interview by Kris PetersChasing Ghosts have traversed a multitude of styles and genres over the course of their career, ranging from solo material to punk fuelled anthems to their current blending of indie rock and punk, but the one thing that has remained consistent with all of their work is the bands unflinching search for understanding and resolution, particularly in matters pertaining to Indigenous people and their culture.Frontman Jimmy Kyle - a Thungutti man who has emerged as one of Australia's most important voices in recent years - openly wears his heart through his lyrics, verbalizing topics and situations that are generally shied away from or pushed aside by most bands and musicians. Since the release of Chasing Ghosts' debut album Confessions From A Phone Booth in 2011, Kyle has successfully and poignantly married introspection with boldness as his stories confront, deconstruct and illuminate the challenging realities of being an Indigenous Australian; while also championing human persistence, the ability to overcome, and the recognition of beauty in even the most flawed.The bands new album, Therapy, which is released on May 16, further highlights the thoughts and feelings of Chasing Ghosts, tackling issues from domestic abuse to the mental health crisis in a confronting yet sensible way which only accentuates the strength of character and conviction that has strengthened the band and their music over the years.HEAVY sat down with Kyle to discuss Therapy in greater detail."I think it's definitely a lot more upbeat," he replied when asked to describe Therapy musically. "As you know, the Chasing Ghosts story is, I guess, acoustic punk troubadour leaves hardcore music and goes solo (laughs). It has come full circle where this is a heavier record. It's sonically a lot more polished than and bigger than anything we've done before. And the songs felt like the next progression coming out of Homeland; the next progression was kind of like, where can this go?""We had done a real lo-fi, very Melbourne sounding mix for Homelands, and then Therapy is a very produced - very shiny is the word that I tend to use - kind of polished record. And it was a real pleasure to do something different because I'd always had a history in recording the earlier records in the analogue way. So now have we not only moved into the digital realm, finally, but we've moved into it sort of with no rules, just leaning right into a modern process, and so we could give some contrast and personality difference between the other releases."In the full interview, Jimmy provided an overview of Therapy, describing it as a significant evolution in their sound. He discussed the themes of the album, which stem from his personal journey through therapy, addressing issues such as insomnia and domestic violence, and aimed at fostering understanding among listeners. The conversation also included details about the Therapy Australia tour, scheduled from June 6 to June 14, featuring a mix of classic songs and new tracks.We also discussed the meanings behind some of the songs and their significance to modern society, whether he feels people are starting to accept his messages, how Therapy represents the next chapter for Chasing Ghosts and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Send us a textMYSTERY ROAD It's the end of the road for Season 14 as TGTPTU's four White fellas travel across the world to the land down under for host Ken's 1x1 flick pick and this season's final film: MYSTERY ROAD (2013), sponsored this week by the Criminal Island's very own Hoppy Joe Beer (Get Your Hop On!). Directed by (and written by and lensed by and edited by and music with sound design by) Ivan Sen, this Aussie neo noir film that will launch a sequel and multiple standalone seasons of a TV season is the Australian filmmaker's first genre film. Sen's work is made with considerations to the conditions of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples (a.k.a. First Peoples, a.k.a. First Nations, a.k.a. Indigenous Australians), and when news of his making a crime fiction film spread, an all-star cast of Oz acting talent lined up to join, beginning with Australian Broadcasting Corporation mainstay Aaron Pedersen, for whom Sen wrote the part of the film's protagonist Detective Jay Swan, with second cast Hugo Weaving whose star power from the past two decades of Hollywood IP films subsequent to serving the Matrix franchise as Agent Smith helped draw in Ryan Kwanten, Bruce Spence, and an early appearance by Samara Weaving, a pod fav who made an appearance in an early TGTPTU Halloween episode.  Plot: A local First Nations girl is found murdered, and Detective Swan freshly back in his hometown from time away catches his first homicide case and must reckon with his family left behind as investigating the homicide brings him into the town's underworld of drugs and prostitution, a world not unknown to his estranged wife and daughter. Pedersen's character also encounters alcoholics (it's Australia after all) drinking themselves to death; a mysterious death of a rookie officer and, separately, a senile man's pet; aspiring cop-killer children on bicycles; mutant dogs; fast barefoot humans; overt and covert racism; Chinese food; and two crack shots in H. Weaving's and Kwanten's characters.    This week Ken and Jack recover from a week-long cold; Thomas brings his comedic A (short for "Australia") game; and Ryan offers background on the growth of media by First Nations peoples in Australia and later demos next season's theme song--all on this special, concluding, evening-record episode of TGTPTU. “Is that a fact?”THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @goodpodugly.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gBuzzsprout: https://thegoodthepodandtheugly.buzzsprout.com/Letterboxd (follow us!): Podcast: goodpoduglyKen: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

It's the portrait of Gina Rinehart that launched 1,000 memes, went viral globally and became Australia's Mona Lisa. But it's also a symbol of how wealth intersects with other areas of life, including art and sport. How does Rinehart use her money to control her image – and what would she rather you don't see? This episode of Gina is about power and control, and the colonial history of Australia. It contains references to outdated offensive language and events that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people may find distressing. It also contains the names of Indigenous Australians who have died. Listen with care

Door de gezondheid en het welzijn van First Nations te verbeteren, kunnen zij genieten van dezelfde levenskwaliteit en kansen als niet-inheemse Australiërs.

“And to bring it back to sound, I find this is also fascinating, when we put things on vibration. So yes, your thoughts are powerful. And when you think something, but you also speak it or sing it, when you put it on vibration, you bring it into the physical world amplified, and word is powerful. If you ask the Indigenous Australians, the Aboriginals here, they tell you, the wise ones tell you that they sang the world into existence.” – Jem Fuller This episode is the second half of my conversation with international coach and retreat facilitator Jem Fuller as we discuss why having a big ego isn't always a bad thing, the surprising links between sound, physics, and the Aboriginal Dreamtime, and how language itself first evolved from music.

(0:00:00) - The Power of Sound and EgoThe second half of our discussion begins as we talk about Jem's strategies for handling the stress and overload of social media, including just taking a deep breath. “You know,” he says, “it's like a release of energy and if you're starting to feel a bit, you know, elevated or a bit anxious, then a big sigh can be really, really helpful.” He explains why our minds are instinctively drawn to protect the ego, and why a “big ego” isn't necessarily a bad thing. “A big ego doesn't just mean that you've got a superiority complex where you think you're better than you are,” he explains. “To be able to... step up and say, ‘Yes, I'll take the lead,' there has to be some sense of, you know, ‘I can do this.'”(0:05:09) - Discovering Authentic Leadership Through Core ValuesWe talk about ways to get in tune with your ideal leadership role, and ways to figure out just what sort of leader you are at the core. Jem suggests imagining someone delivering your eulogy: “What would you really hope to hear them say when they're describing your character? And you write those words down Kind, generous, open-minded, loving, patient, caring, hardworking, whatever it was for you Write those words down. The words you've written down are your core values.” We discuss the physics and philosophy of sound and the link between ancient beliefs and cutting-edge science. “The mountain only existed when we sang about it,” he says about Aboriginal beliefs. “And quantum physics also has a similar kind of thing with this that certain things only become when we observe them and language them, you know. So words are powerful, and that's part of the reason affirmations work.”(0:16:11) - The Power of Connection Through SoundAs our conversation comes to a close, Jem shares his thoughts about the power of sound to connect us to one another on a deeper, more personal level. “You don't need to intellectualize the sound of a major chord,” he explains. “It just immediately feels like it feels.” We discuss the untapped potential of that sonic connection we all share and look at the latest studies on the age-old mystery of which came first: human speech or human music. “Before language,” Jem tells us, “before words, we had the embouchure characteristics to sing or to...

fWotD Episode 2898: Banded sugar ant Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 11 April 2025 is Banded sugar ant.The banded sugar ant (Camponotus consobrinus), also known as the sugar ant, is a species of ant native to Australia. A member of the genus Camponotus in the subfamily Formicinae, it was described by German entomologist Wilhelm Ferdinand Erichson in 1842. Its common name refers to the ant's liking for sugar and sweet food, as well as the distinctive orange-brown band that wraps around its gaster.The ant is polymorphic and relatively large, with two different castes of workers: major workers (also known as soldiers), and minor workers. These two group of workers measure around 5 to 15 millimetres (0.2 to 0.6 in) in length, while the queen ants are even larger. Mainly nocturnal, banded sugar ants prefer a mesic habitat, and are commonly found in forests and woodlands. They also occur in urban areas, where they are considered a household pest. The ant's diet includes sweet secretions that are retrieved from aphids and other insects that it tends. This species is a competitor of the meat ant (Iridomyrmex purpureus), and food robbery and nest-plugging is known to occur between these two ants. Workers prey on insects, killing them with a spray of formic acid. Banded sugar ants are preyed upon by other ants, echidnas, and birds. The eggs of this species were consumed by Indigenous Australians.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:49 UTC on Friday, 11 April 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Banded sugar ant on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Kajal.

Max Pearson presents a collection of the week's Witness History interviews from the BBC World Service. We discuss the 1992 speech given by Australian Prime Minister, Paul Keating, in which he acknowledged the moral responsibility his government should bear for the horrors committed against Indigenous Australians, with our guest Dr Rebe Taylor from Tasmania University.We also look at two female orators from opposite ends of the political spectrum: Eva Peron, also known as Evita, from right-wing Argentina and Dolores Ibárruri, who was a communist and anti-fascist fighter in the Spanish Civil War. There are also two speeches from the USA, one which is remembered as one of the great presidential speeches of all time and another which help to change the view of AIDS in the country.Contributors: Don Watson - who wrote Paul Keating's Redfern speech in 1992.Dr Rebe Taylor - Australian historian from the University of Tasmania.Archive of Eva Peron - former first lady of Argentina.

On 10 December 1992, Australia's Prime Minister, Paul Keating, addressed a crowd in a Sydney suburb called Redfern, to mark the UN's International Year of the World's Indigenous People. What started as a low-key affair, is remembered as one of the most powerful speeches in Australian history. It was the first time an Australian Prime Minister took moral responsibility for the horrors committed against Indigenous Australians. The speech received significant backlash, but it's often credited with paving the way for a later Australian Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, to issue a formal apology to Indigenous Australians. In 2007, ABC radio listeners voted it the third most unforgettable speech in history behind Martin Luther King's 'I have a dream' speech and Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. Don Watson wrote the speech. He speaks to Ben Henderson.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there.

Recent episodes explore everything from football in Brazil, the history of the ‘Indian Titanic' and the invention of air fryers, to Public Enemy's Fight The Power, subway art and the political crisis in Georgia. We look at the lives of some of the most famous leaders, artists, scientists and personalities in history, including: visionary architect Antoni Gaudi and the design of the Sagrada Familia; Michael Jordan and his bespoke Nike trainers; Princess Diana at the Taj Mahal; and Görel Hanser, manager of legendary Swedish pop band Abba on the influence they've had on the music industry. You can learn all about fascinating and surprising stories, such as the time an Iraqi journalist hurled his shoes at the President of the United States in protest of America's occupation of Iraq; the creation of the Hollywood commercial that changed advertising forever; and the ascent of the first Aboriginal MP.(Audio of Redfern speech: National Archives of Australia)(Photo: Prime Minister Paul Keating at Redfern.
