As long as you want to, Gary. He's not gone yet, but it would appear that the end is nigh for Black Caps coach Gary Stead. His contract is due to expire shortly, which will possibly signal the end of a very successful tenure. No, the pinnacle titles haven't rolled in unabated, but the consistency of results at the very top, across all formats, are impressive. New Zealand's men's cricket first eleven has been in the top table conversation for his whole Black Caps coaching career. Sure, they've had some catastrophic results which have set the drums beating for his removal, but poor turnouts are to be expected in international cricket. Australia, India, and England are all capable of blowing a sandshoe sporadically, so it's not a damning indictment of Stead's stewardship when the team mount the sidewalk and collect 10 yards of picket fence and some shrubbery. To focus on the smudges during his command would be mealymouthed and small-minded. Gary has held this team together during the biggest upheaval in world cricket since Kerry Packer threw a sabretooth amongst the pigeons back in the 70's. The proliferation of T20 leagues and the money they offer has been a massive challenge for all boards, with NZ cricket, aided by a very fluent and pragmatic coach, navigating the choppy waters with aplomb. He has also achieved across all three formats and may well be the last coach to do so. To those who roll out the tired, predictable, and myopic line that his success is only due to him inheriting a great team built by Hesson and McCullum, I say this: Yes, he has had access to some of the greats who started under a different regime, but he has also been behind the launch of future greats and the continued development of the meat of the team. Did he hold on to Southee too long? Did he treat Neil Wagner as well as he should have? This is nitpicking to me. In the wider picture, the measured and calm Gary Stead has been behind some of the greatest times in New Zealand cricket history. Whatever he chooses to do, I'll be behind him %100, Top coach, top man, great New Zealander. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In a chaotic Sydney share-house in the Spring of 1972, a dishevelled actor was lying naked on the fraying couch of an inner-city living room. The woman who had paid Jack Thompson $400 was wondering if the actor’s left hand was really big enough to cover his modesty and get her history-making magazine past the conservative censors who’d decide if it would make it to newsagent shelves. The Editor? Ita Buttrose. The magazine? Cleo.

The Michael Yardney Podcast | Property Investment, Success & Money
It was the blunt but ingenious billionaire Kerry Packer who memorably explained to a stunned parliamentary committee exactly how the tax system works. The late business tycoon said, “I'm not evading tax in any way, shape, or form. Now, of course, I'm minimising my tax, and if anybody in this country doesn't minimise their tax, they want their heads read, because, as a government, I can tell you you're not spending it that well that we should be donating any extra now.” This classic summary of how things really work on the ground is just as accurate today as it was 33 years ago, and it'll probably remain accurate for many decades to come. So, have you ever wondered how the wealthy seem to pay less tax than the average person? Well, my guest today is accountant Alan Mason, who was Kerry Packer's former accountant, and he's the author of the book The Tax Secrets of the Rich. Our discussion today will be critical for all businesspeople, but if you're a property investor, you are in the business of providing rental accommodation, so let's find out the tax secrets the tax office doesn't want you to know about. Proven Tax Strategies from Alan Mason The wealthy use sophisticated tax strategies to legally minimize their tax obligations and build substantial wealth. Alan Mason, the former accountant of billionaire Kerry Packer and author of Tax Secrets of the Rich, shares his vast experience in our conversation today, offering valuable tips for businesspeople and property investors looking to optimise their tax strategies. We discuss: ● Alan Mason's 40-year career in tax and accounting, focusing on strategies used by high-net-worth individuals to legally minimize tax obligations ● Kerry Packer's impact on business and cricket ● Debunking common tax myths ● The importance of having a proactive and knowledgeable advisor ● Legal avenues such as charities and foundations that high-net-worth individuals use to minimize tax liabilities while maintaining transparency with the ATO ● Strategies for handling complex transactions o Restructuring deals to be more tax-effective o The importance of pre-planning for tax liabilities ● Strategies for property investors o Offsetting capital gains with losses o Prepaying interest to minimize tax bills ● The significance of proper record-keeping and leveraging tax refunds to grow a portfolio ● Adopting a millionaire mindset o Questioning the status quo o Seeking quality advice o Investing in professional advisors ● Where people can find Alan's book By the end of this episode, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the strategic tax planning and wealth-building strategies used by the rich, which will give you practical advice to grow your financial independence.

So, you are mentioning the trustee can be changed, and this means it's important to become the appointor.” – Michael Yardney “So really what we're talking about is building up passive residual income that you don't have to work for anymore, and your money's working for you even when you're asleep or away on holidays.” –Michael Yardney “You see, the path to becoming wealthy is a long journey. The self-made millionaires in Tom's study understood how hard it was to accumulate their wealth, and because of this, because of their smart money mindset, I guess that got them there.” – Michael Yardney PLEASE LEAVE US A REVIEW Reviews are hugely important to me because they help new people discover this podcast.

This book was shortlisted for the Cricket Writers Club 'Book of the Year' 2022 and the Sunday Times Sports Book Awards 'Cricket Book of the Year' 2023.“A modern-day John Arlott: uncomfortable but indispensable reading for those who love cricket but may so far have avoided Duncan Stone's vital home truths about the game.” - Peter Hain, former chairman of the Stop the Seventy Tour campaign and Labour Peer"In this fascinating journey through history, Duncan Stone goes back to the working-class roots of the game, lifts the lid on the myths that cricket lives by, and explains why it's impossible not to love it." - Tony Collins, author of Rugby League: A People's History"A warm, accessible but thorough-going account of how cricket and class are intertwined in England. Full of personal wit and charm but also rigor and drive." - Stuart Maconie"At a time when the ECB seems intent on killing Test cricket, by commodifying it in search of quick profits, this book is a gentle reminder of the true ethos and variable pace of the game, etched in the memories of all who have played it at village or club level." - Guy Standing, author of The Precariat: The True Dangerous Class"Different Class is in that special category of books — not just lucid and cogent but necessary and invaluable." - Gideon Haigh, author of The Cricket War: The Inside Story of Kerry Packer's World Series CricketDuncan Stone is a historian long interested in the social and cultural machinations of sport, the concept and application of amateurism and who, exactly, gets to define the form, function and meaning of sport.

In the 1980's, Sally Warriner returned to Australia after backpacking overseas, and she hitchhiked to the far north. It's there, she fell in love and married a cowboy, and spent the next 25 years managing pastoral properties in the top end while raising seven children, including three of her own. Sally wore so many hats. As a trained nurse, she was at the scene of many emergencies and accidents over the years. She was the station cook, her husband's business partner, and even a social secretary- in our chat, you'll hear how on earth she ended up hosting and organising some of Kerry Packer's parties! But after feeling undervalued and underappreciated for decades, viewed by some as 'just' the wife of the general manager', Sally finally snapped. She ended her marriage, and left the land to start a whole new life. And now- she's written a book that reveals all. This is her story.*Warning, this episode does contain some course languageAgrifocused's Farm Office Plus course will transform your farm office into a streamlined information powerhouse.

A real treat for this episode of the podcast – a chat with famed Australian golf course architect Bob Harrison. His design portfolio spans decades, and includes many of Australia's most significant courses. He has also worked on several notable projects overseas, in Asia, the US, and the UK. We talk with Bob about his early years in golf, his time at university, ambidextrous golf and golfers, Bob's engineering pedigree and the undergraduate project that saw him move into the field of golf architecture. Discussion then moves to Sanctuary Lakes, The Glades, and Bob's love of designing short par fours. We move to Ellerston, and experiences with Kerry Packer, as well as Bob's take on trees in the fairway. Newcastle comes in for some chat, with one or two possible shortcomings, and the proposed changes, which will hold interest for many of our regular listeners. We move on to the topic of a little cultural cringe apparent within the upper echelons of Australian golf clubs when it comes to engaging local architectural firms, before devoting time to some of Bob's favourite holes among the many he's designed.

The fiercely private and highly ranked course is a veritable white whale for local golfers and many who venture to Australia for a once in a lifetime golf trip. The course forms a tiny part of what is a sizeable station at Ellerston, sitting within a glorious parcel of Australian country in the Upper Hunter Valley. The property is several hours drive north of Sydney, with a National Park nearby and Pages Creek meandering through the station and the golf course itself. From the origins of the layout and the difficulty of the course, to the standout holes, grasses, terrain, and scarcity of invitations to play. All of it is covered. Few will ever get to play Ellerston, and those who are lucky enough to visit no doubt have memories to last a lifetime. The experience of visiting the property is a one of a kind, as was Kerry Packer - the Australian billionaire, media colossus and owner of the Ellerston estate. A larger than life figure who enjoys legendary status in Australia, his course is one of a kind, and in several ways a reflection of Kerry Packer himself. Unashamedly tough, with a dramatic flare here and there, and possessing a distinctive Australian charm. The course designed by Bob Harrison and Greg Norman is dramatic, and as one would expect, immaculately conditioned. It is unique in Australian golf, as we hope our discussion shows. This flyover is still on the internet somehow – a hole by hole look at Ellerston. It is a great compliment to the discussion of many holes in this episode – check it out before it gets scrubbed forever. https://vimeo.com/144553100 A look at Kerry Packer when he appeared before a Senate committee dealing with media ownership, as mentioned in the episode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVIOmU3l0Zo We also encourage you to take a look at the latest range from Angus and Grace Go Golfing (angusandgracegogolfing.com) – or follow them on Insta (@angusandgracegogolfing) .

Author Nikki McWatters and I get up close and personal about motherhood, writing memoir, shagging pop stars and more. We marvel at our sliding door lives of growing up on Queensland's Gold Coast - same schools, same teachers, same careers - pondering if our parents had in fact sneakily had it off with each other and are we in fact sisters!! We also reminisce about our (almost famous) acting careers and how Cate Blanchett and Nicole Kidman stole our careers. An episode not to miss! Nikki McWatters is the author of six books. There are a couple of memoirs in there and a trilogy of young adult novels. She dabbled in all sorts of careers before settling on writing including being a housekeeper at Kerry Packer's mansion and acting in dodgy film and television shows. She lives in the Blue Mountains. Mother of five. Spokesperson for the CEO Sleepout. And passionate op-shopper.
