Send us a textIn today's episode, we have the privilege of speaking with Jessie, a seasoned Doula based in Karratha, Western Australia. Jessie generously shares the profound wisdom she gained from her four unique birth experiences—three in hospital and one empowering free birth with her fourth child. Reflecting on her first journey into motherhood, she discusses how the prevailing narrative around birth was one of pain and fear, which led to unexpected interventions. Through her work supporting other women as a doula, Jessie came to understand that women already possess everything they need within themselves to bring their babies into the world. She takes us through her personal evolution, from hospital births to the decision to have a free birth. Jessie also opens up about D-MER (Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex), a condition where some breastfeeding women experience negative emotions just before milk let-down, during breastfeeding, expressing, or even when not nursing.Links:Jessie the doulaJessie's Website Birth Without Fear - January HarsheDysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex (D-MER) - Australian Breastfeeding Association Midwives' Cauldron - Breastfeeding aversion, agitation, D-MERSupport the show@homebirthstoriesaustralia Support the show by buying us a coffee!

Things are constantly changing in real estate nationwide but the one factor that never changes is this:  we can always rely on news media to distort the facts and deliver a steady flow of misinformation to Australian consumers, all in the interests of attracting readership, with little regard for accuracy, honesty or fairness. The past week or so has been chockful of media nonsense. If you can believe the headlines, the national property boom is over, house prices are plunging, the rental boom is over and the North Queensland city of Townsville is a mining town. One of the constants of my 40-plus years charting Australian real estate is that there are lines and lines of idiots scrambling to be the first to declare that a boom is over, usually long before it actually is. This is often fed by data research entities like CoreLogic where the key people never let the facts get in the way of good headline and free publicity. So Australia has been resplendent lately with strident headlines declaring that the national property boom is over or words to that effect. Here's the first problem: we don't have a national property boom so it's rather odd to declare that something which doesn't exist is finished. We have certainly had a boom in Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane among the capital cities, but certainly nothing remotely resembling a boom in the other five state and territory capitals.  It's a similar scenario in the regional markets, with a variety of different situations ranging from downturn and stagnation to moderate growth and, in some cases, strongly rising prices. But nationally growth in house and unit prices has averaged 6 or 7 percent throughout 2024 – and lately the annual growth rate, as a national average, has been 4 or 5 percent. Only in the fertile imaginations of media headline writers would that constitute a boom. But, according to various media outlets, this mythical boom is over – even though the latest figures for annual growth in three of our capital cities and three of our state regional markets are still well above 10%. The only places where the evidence suggests the boom is over are the ones where a boom never took place – like Melbourne, Hobart, Darwin and Canberra. But not only, according to media, is the fictional national boom over, but property prices are plunging. One headline in Fairfax media claimed to reveal Why property prices are plunging across Australia – amid warning they could slide even further. A close examination of the article underneath this startling headline discovered there was no evidence in the story to justify the headline. Quite simply, the headline was a blatant fabrication – which, sadly, is all too common in today's news media. The article revealed that Sydney's median price was 0.8% lower than three months earlier but 3.3% higher than a year earlier, while Melbourne was down 1% over three months. Nothing in those figures goes even close to “prices plunging”. In the other major cities prices were still rising and indeed were still growing at boom time rates. House prices were also up in the Combined Regions in the latest month, the latest quarter and the past year– and unit prices were also up nationally, both in the cities and the regions. So, there was very little sign of even minor decline in prices anywhere and certainly no evidence at all of price plunging.  So this was yet another instance of a headline which was an outright and blatant lie. And who wrote this rubbish? well, it was the champion of negative media about residential real estate, the endlessly sad Shane Wright who has devoted his career to writing nonsense about property markets. But wait, there's more. Not only is the fictional national price boom over, but apparently the rental boom is over as well! There have been strident headlines and soundbites inferring that rents are no longer rising.  As is so often the case with these big sweeping media statements, the claim was based on a single month's figures from one source. Nationally, rents rose only 0.2% in November, according to CoreLogic, therefore the boom is over in the simplistic minds of attention-seeking analysts and journalists. And, yes, once again, the source of this myopic and shallow analysis is CoreLogic, a business which publishes lots of major real estate data but is quite dreadful at analysing what it all means. So CoreLogic's head of research Tim Lawless said: “At 5.3% annual growth, rents are still rising at more than twice the pre-pandemic decade average of 2.0%, but given the weak monthly change the annual trend is set to slow further from here. “It will be interesting to see if the rate of rental growth rebounds through the seasonally strong first quarter of the year in 2025, but beyond any seasonality, it looks increasingly like the rental boom is over”. But other sources tell a different story. SQM Research records a monthly rise of a tick under 1% as the national average for residential rents, with Adelaide up 1.1%, Perth rising 1.9% and Canberra up 1.5%. The national vacancy rate remains a fraction above 1%, essentially unchanged from three years ago, so can anyone justify a claim that the rental shortage crisis and rising rents is all done and dusted? Hardly. Another startling set of headlines resulted from the latest Regional Market Update from CoreLogic which declared that the highest capital growth was occurring in Queensland and WA mining towns. I was truly perplexed because I know there has been little price growth recently in mining towns like Karratha, Port Hedland and Newman in WA and Moranbah in Queensland. However, the headlines resulted from CoreLogic boffins – yes, it's CoreLogic again - re-defining major regional cities as mining towns.  Apparently Townsville, which has one of the most diverse economies in regional Australia, with only minor influence from the resources sector, is now a mining town.  So is the key Central Queensland of Mackay, apparently, despite being 2-3 hours' drive from the nearest coal mine. In WA, the key regional city of Geraldton is also, apparently, a mining town, according to Core illogic, although the nearest iron ore mine is an hour's drive away. All of this, and a whole lot more, reinforces our view that there is more misinformation than actual information in mainstream media. And that any real estate consumer who bases a decision on the content of media reports is at risk of making a very bad decision.

They emphasize critical challenges such as workforce shortages and limited access to doctors, highlighting Pharmacists' vital role in these communities. Shaylee advocates for increasing the rural healthcare workforce and shifting the Pharmacy model towards primary care to better support patients. Shaylee shares insights on the distinct advantages of pursuing a career in Rural Community Pharmacy, highlighting the immense professional satisfaction and rapid career progression it offers.

Chantelle and Shaylee discuss the importance of self-care and preventing burnout in early career Pharmacists. Shaylee emphasizes three key leadership skills: self-awareness, adaptability, and determination. They explain that self-awareness involves understanding one's emotions and reflecting on personal capacity and stress levels. Adaptability is crucial, especially in rural settings where circumstances can change rapidly. Determination helps push through challenging times until conditions improve, maintaining a sustainable and fulfilling career in Pharmacy. Shaylee also discusses their role in nurturing early career Pharmacists within the Karratha community, emphasizing the importance of mentoring Pharmacy students. This mentorship leads to successful recruitment and retention of future Pharmacists.

Additionally, Shaylee addresses the misconceptions and pain points that deter Pharmacists from pursuing rural positions, such as isolation, workload, and relocation challenges. They counter these concerns with their own positive experiences and the support systems available, including financial aid and unique professional opportunities. Shaylee emphasizes the importance of early conversations about rural healthcare careers at the university level to inspire and inform future Pharmacists, advocating for greater awareness and discussion about the benefits and unique experiences of Rural Pharmacy practice.

Accelerate Resources Ltd (ASX:AX8) CEO Luke Meter sits down with Proactive's Jonathan Jackson to discuss the company's first drilling campaign at the Prinsep Lithium Project near Karratha in the West Pilbara region of Western Australia. Drilling follows surface sampling indicating lithium mineralisation up to 1.68% Li2O. The maiden program will involve 48 reverse circulation (RC) drill holes totalling 3,500 metres, targeting pegmatite discoveries over a 1,500-metre strike and widths up to 60 metres. The drilling is expected to be completed by the end of June, with samples sent in batches for assaying, which will have a turnaround time of about six weeks. According to Meter, this marks a significant milestone for the company as it targets lithium mineralisation down dip of outcropping mineralisation and new pegmatite sets hidden by cover. The program focuses on the northern pegmatite system, where previous mapping and rock chip sampling have confirmed lithium presence. Initial drill holes will be completed on fenced 80-metre spaced lines, targeting surface mineralisation followed by deeper increments of approximately 50 and 100 metres below the surface. A small drill hole orientation program will also be conducted along the southern pegmatite trend to assist with planning the second phase of drilling. Prinsep is 15 kilometres south of Karratha and 35 kilometres west of the SH Mining Andover Lithium Project. It is part of the larger Karratha Lithium Project portfolio, which spans about 85 square kilometres within the Karratha-Roebourne hard-rock lithium belt. Two sub-parallel pegmatite zones have been defined, each extending over 1,800 metres with widths up to 60 metres and rock chip sample assays up to 2.06% Li2O. #ProactiveInvestors #AccelerateResources #ASX #LithiumProject, #PrinsepProject, #KarrathaLithium, #WestPilbara, #LithiumExploration, #DrillingCampaign, #LithiumMineralisation, #RCDrilling, #MiningNews, #LithiumBelt, #Karratha, #AustraliaMining, #ResourceDevelopment, #ExplorationResults, #MineralExploration, #LithiumBatteries, #MiningIndustry, #ASXNews, #BatteryMetals #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Artemis Resources Ltd (ASX:ARV, AIM:ARV, OTCQB:ARTTF) executive director George Ventouras joins Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with details of the company's upcoming exploration plans at the Karratha Gold Precinct in Western Australia. Within the precinct, Ventouras noted that the Carlow Project boasts a resource of over 700,000 ounces of gold equivalent, highlighting its significant size and promising grades of two and a half grammes per tonne. With gold prices in focus, he said the company is allocating part of its exploration budget towards both the Carlow project and the wider tenement package to uncover additional prospects. This year, Artemis Resources is excited about prospects at Lulu Creek, supported by a government grant for co-funded drilling. This area, showing similarities with the 10 million-ounce De Grey's Hemi deposit, revealed promising initial drilling results in 2020, with gold grades of 4.89 grammes per tonne. Drilling is expected to commence in the third quarter of 2024, following heritage clearances, with preparatory activities such as rock chips and soil sampling underway. Additionally, Artemis Resources continues exploration in other areas, including lithium prospects, underlining the company's dual focus on base metals and future-facing metals. Ventouras emphasizes the potential of their intrusive gold systems as a frontier for large gold systems, indicating a promising future for Artemis Resources. #ArtemisResources #GoldExploration #KaratekaProject #LuluCreek #GoldMining #ExplorationUpdate #MiningAustralia #GoldProspects #LithiumExploration #ResourceSector #ProactiveInvestors #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Novo Resources ("Novo" or the "Company") (TSX.V:NVO - OTCQX:NSRPF - ASX:NVO) released upgraded drill results from Nunyerry North, at the Egina Gold Camp in Australia. These results were re-analyzed using a larger sample method which resulted in a number of intercepts reporting higher grade gold results.   Mike Spreadborough, Executive Co-Chairman of Novo joins me to discuss why the larger sample method upgraded some of the results. I ask if this changes any of the exploration plans at Nunyerry North as the Company moves to the next round of drilling. Approximately 4,000 meters of drilling is planned across the full 2km strike staring mid-year.   We also discuss the maiden drill plans at Karratha, where approximately 3,500meters will be drilled at 3 prospects starting in Q2. I have Mike provide more information on the 3 prospects and what the Company is looking for in this first round of drilling.   With cash of A$17.4million and an investment portfolio of A$39.3million the Company is funded for all the programs we discussed.   If you have any follow up questions for Mike please email me at Fleck@kereport.com.   Click here to read over all the recent Novo news.

While growing up in England Nick Woolard (Jagga Daku, Perth) had relatives in Australia and always yearned to head downunder. When he arrived as an 18 year old, he immersed himself into the hospitality sector of Melbourne and started to rise the ranks. But soon the frenetic nature of the job lead to alcohol and substance abuse, and he saw only one way out - to get as far away from the city as possible. He landed in Karratha and it completely changed his life. Now he's opening a new, exciting venue in Perth that hopes to change the conversation on Indian food.

Western Australia's two key farm lobby groups say a string of state and federal government legislation, with implications for the agricultural sector, has lead to an increase in enquiries about membership. A massive cropping and livestock portfolio with properties across rural Victoria and Western Australia's South Coast could sell for as much as $400 million, with strong interest from US-based pension funds. The price of glyphosate has fallen to below $4 per litre, after reaching as high as $12 per litre during the COVID pandemic. The late pastoralist and horse trainer, Don Hammarquist, has been remembered as a 'true statesman'.

Stephen Dawson says the only exception to the rule would be if both the local government and the local volunteers collectively agree to handball responsibilities over to the state, under the management of DFES, the Department of Fire and Emergency Services. Renewables and clean energy have been a hot topic at the annual Pilbara summit on in Karratha this week.

Azure Minerals Limited is an Australia-based mineral exploration company. The Company is focused on exploration and development of its portfolio of precious and base metal projects in Mexico. Its projects include the Andover Nickel-Copper Project, Turner River Gold Project, Coongan Gold Project, Barton Gold Project and Meentheena Gold Project. The Andover Nickel-Copper Project is located approximately 35 kilometers southeast of Karratha and immediately south of the town of Roebourne. The Turner River Gold Project consists of two exploration license applications covering approximately 450 square kilometers located south of Port Hedland. The Coongan Gold Project is located in the eastern Pilbara, approximately eight kilometers to the west of Nullagine, and covers an area of 141 square kilometers. The Meentheena Gold Project is located in the eastern Pilbara, approximately 80 kilometers east of Marble Bar, and covers an area of 223 square kilometers.

On WA's Burrup peninsula in the Pilbara a site of significant Indigenous rock art is at risk from Woodside petroleum's plan to massively expand its Pluto LNG project in Karratha by bringing in more gas from the Scarborough gas fields offshore. Climate analysts say the project so big, it would blow our chances of ever reaching our carbon reduction targets.

It's happened: In late January 2022, an astute veterinarian in Mount Isa diagnosed the first locally acquired case of the tick-borne disease, ehrlichiosis, in a Queensland dog. As predicted the disease is making its way south, and we want to make sure that you, like our Mt Isa vet, are able to spot and treat ehrlichiosis when it comes knocking on your door. Which, in all likelihood - it will, regardless of where you are in the country. This episode is a composite of two episodes that we released over the past two years on the Vet Vault Clinical podcast. Part one was released in 2021 soon after the disease first made its appearance in Western Australia in 2020. We speak to Dr Paolo Pazzi - a medicine specialist from South Africa where ehrlichiosis is an endemic disease and is commonly seen in practice. This episode covers the clinical aspects of the disease and aims to ensure that you don't miss these cases and to give you a guide on how to manage them. In part two we speak to Dr Katy Davis, who works in Karratha in Western Australia where the outbreak started, and Professor Peter Irwin, THE guru in all things vector-borne disease. They give us an update on the situation in Australia, and the message is clear: it's here, it's serious, and it's not quite the same disease in Australia as it is in countries where the disease is endemic. We talk about what you can expect, what to do and how to test when you see your first case, and we clarify some of the confusion around disease prevention. See it as a ‘how-to' guide for Australian vets. Thank you to Elanco Australia for supplying us with the expertise to help us clarify preventatives. Check out their tick preventative products, including the tick repellents Seresto and Advantix, as well as a new monthly chewable isoxazoline, Credelio, that will sort out you patients against tick paralysis, but as you'll hear, NOT ehrlichiosis. Who to contact if you have a suspected case of ehrlichiosis: Emergency Animal Disease Hotline: 1800 675 888.
