In this week's episode, a participant explores the difference between the image of goodness and the 'real thing.' With Tom's guidance, she considers the possibility that her self-hating behavior actually wants to accomplish something good and opens to the gift in having her unloving behavior out and exposed. This deep and powerful inquiry shines a light on how to work with the parts of ourselves that can be hard to forgive and realigns us to the unshakeable goodness that we are.Until love is satisfied by Caroline Corcoran | Awakening by Jimmy Stofer

This week, the Inquiry continued to investigate the events immediately after the fire by digging deeper into what happened at local rest centres which were opened to support survivors. An official who volunteered to help with the relief effort described the scene at the largest centre as a shambles, with chaotic scenes, an intimidating armed police presence and a lack of organisation. The authorities tried to send some residents from the walkway flats next to the tower back to their homes, despite them having broken front doors and lacking gas or communal heating. And we heard that at the time of the Grenfell disaster that tower block fires were not included in the official London Risk Register – even though it did mention wildfires and moorland fires.

Queensland will become the first state to make coercive control a criminal offence, a move welcomed by the parents of Brisbane woman Hannah Clarke - who along with her three children was murdered by her estranged husband. The Palaszczuk government will introduce the historic new law by the end of 2023 as well as a Commission of Inquiry into police responses to domestic and family violence.

We could say that a common unconscious habit on this planet is to identify with our perceptions rather than our presence. Everything becomes a struggle, an effort to avoid the bad and bring in the good. However, when we look at our feelings, sensations, and images through the lens of inquiry we start to notice the possibility of just how effortless it all may be. Is physical pain actually a burden to the awareness that notices it? Are the possible bad things that could happen in the future a true threat to the presence of awareness of this moment? In this week's episode, Tom invites us to notice how much of our experience is accompanied by the habit of efforting and resisting what is — or what our mind imagines could be — and invites us to rest as the unmoving presence of awareness that we actually are.Until love is satisfied by Caroline Corcoran | Awakening by Jimmy StoferFor more information about the Love is the power weekly meditation call - visit theworkwithtom.com

The Queensland Government will move to criminalise coercive control by the end of next year as part of a $363m reform package to address domestic and family violence.

In our last episode, we defined what it means to ideate and stretched our thinking with the Question Formulation Technique (QFT).  This lays the foundation of asking a variety of questions to and with our learners, so they are able to generate, revise, prioritize, and plan with their questions in mind.  As we create this culture of thinking, we are ready to think more outside of the box to ideate real solutions to issues within our organization.  As previously mentioned, we must do this process entirely with empathy.  We are asking others to change their viewpoints and alter their ways of operating within the organization.  It's huge, so tread carefully and kindly.  Over the past five weeks, I've been participating in the #CITLreads book club on Misty Paterson's book, Pop-Up Studio:  Responsive Teaching for Today's Learners.  While going through this five week process, my eyes were opened to new strategies on how to leverage inquiry and conceptual connections with our learners and peers. In particular, the 4A's Guiding Principles stood out as a scaffold in the inquiry process.  After all, isn't coming up with new and innovative ideas part of the inquiry process?  Misty Paterson came up with a simple system to help you take a look at your curriculum in a fresh new viewpoint.  We will apply this concept to problem-solving. You can use one or all of all of the 4A's to spark your ideation process.  We will have a challenge for each to help you stretch and grow.

In the design thinking process, we recognize that the issue we have defined has not been previously dealt with correctly.  We may have tried to solve the problem by examining the superficial symptoms, rather than getting to the root issue.  When we ideate, we have to think out-of-the-box, so we can find alternative solutions that may seem farfetched in order to move our organization forward. In this episode, we will explore how to ideate and slay some sacred cows along the way.  It's not easy to go against the status quo, but it's how we begin to evolve as an organization.Here are some links mentioned in this week's episodeThe Question Formulation Technique (QFT) Pop-Up Studio: Responsive Teaching for Today's Learners. For a written blog post and other resources, visit:   https://thinkchat2020.weebly.com

On the eve of International Workers' Memorial Day the government has announced there will be an investigation into deaths at New Zealand ports. Pressure was mounting after a man was killed at Lyttleton Port on Monday and another died at the Ports of Auckland last week. Port companies are also being asked to review their operations - and there could be regulatory changes. Craig Harrison is the national secretary of the Maritime Union of New Zealand. He talks to Nick Truebridge.

Sixty days after Justin Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act to clamp down on Freedom Convoy protesters in Ottawa, his government has established a public inquiry. Trudeau won't say whether he'll let the judge overseeing the inquiry have access to cabinet documents though, raising questions about how fulsome the inquiry can be when it comes to the government's conduct and evidence for declaring a national "emergency." True North's Andrew Lawton discusses this with Canadian Constitution Foundation executive director Joanna Baron and Cara Zwibel of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association. Also, Kate Harrison joins to chat about the upcoming Canada Strong and Free Network (formerly Manning Centre) conference in Ottawa.

Pressure to investigate safety at New Zealand ports is mounting after the second death of a port worker in a week. A man was killed at Lyttleton Port yesterday while coal was loaded onto a ship. It comes after the death of Atiroa Tuaiti at the Ports of Auckland. Tessa Guest reports.

It's that time of the week where we take a look past the veil into the stories that don't get the attention they deserve in Ottawa. Guest host Angela Kokott checks in with Managing Editor of Blacklock's Reporter Tom Korski. Angela and Tom talk about the finalized inquiry into the Emergencies Act, and when the report will be do, as well as why the Gov-Gen's office gave a CBC pundit over $90-thousand.

Unions are calling for action after a person died yesterday at Lyttelton Port - just six days after the death of Atiroa Tuaiti at the Ports of Auckland. The Maritime Union, the Rail and Maritime Transport Union, the CTU and the Merchant Service Guild are calling for an inquiry into port safety. Maritime Union of New Zealand National secretary Craig Harrison spoke to Corin Dann.

Transport Minister Michael Wood says he's taking a request for an inquiry into port safety very seriously, after the second death of a port worker in a week. A Lyttelton Port Company worker died yesterday on a ship, six days after a death at the Ports of Auckland. Unions had already asked for an inquiry into port safety, before the second death. Wood told Morning Report he's sought further advice, and wants to know that it won't just be an inquiry for inquiry's sake.

With Rethinking Comparison: Innovative Methods for Qualitative Political Inquiry (Cambridge University Press, 2021) Erica S. Simmons and Nicholas Rush Smith issue a call for qualitative political scientists to go beyond the controlled comparisons so dear to them, and rethink what it is that they compare and why. The call is both earnest and compelling. The book is persuasive not just in its efforts to show that the what and why of comparison ought not be limited to the “Millian paradigm”—even as its editors are at pains to express their appreciation for the paradigm's logics. Over twelve chapters, an impressive roll-call of contributors together explicate and demonstrate how the practice of comparison can be systematically broadened and creatively adapted to ensure qualitative political science's enduring relevance. Chapters include one on two ways to compare by Frederic Schaffer, whose Elucidating Social Science Concepts featured on New Books in Interpretive Political and Social Science in 2020, and another by series host, Nick Cheesman. Other contributors include Jason Seawright, Joe Soss, and Thea Riofrancos, whose Resource Radicals received the Charles Taylor Book Award in 2021. The book closes via an epilogue with Lisa Wedeen, who spoke about her Authoritarian Apprehensions in an episode that year. Rethinking comparison is not without risk. But a political science without risk-takers would be an inert discipline. Fortunately, with the likes of Simmons and Smith exciting debate about what, why and how we compare, the discipline is sure to remain lively, and relevant. Nick Cheesman is associate professor in the Department of Political and Social Change, Australian National University.

In 2021 the president of Sri Lanka announced a total ban on chemical fertilizer and pesticides. The country's farms were going to go fully organic. Health concerns were given as a reason, but in the background was the pandemic, loss of tourism and a lack of natural fertilizer available in the country. Sri Lanka is now in the worse economic crisis they have seen in decades and the government has reversed its ban on chemical fertilizer. This week on The Inquiry we explore why Sri Lanka's organic farming dream failed.
