On Friday, 19 June, after 6 am, emergency services were called after two cars collided at the intersection of Dalton Road and Burton Street. Victoria Police say the female was treated by paramedics but died at the scene. The 52-year-old male driver of the same vehicle was arrested at the scene. The driver and sole occupant of the second vehicle was transported to hospital with minor injuries, as investigations continue. - मेलबर्नको सीबीडीबाट करिब २० किलोमिटर उत्तर तर्फ पर्ने लेलरमा शुक्रवार, जुन १९ २०२६ मा भएको सडक दुर्घटनामा परि एक ४९ वर्षीय महिलाको मृत्यु भएको छ। भिक्टोरिया प्रहरीको विज्ञप्ति अनुसार आज बिहान ६ बजेको आसपास डल्टन रोड र बर्टन स्ट्रीटको इन्टरसेक्सनमा दुई वटा गाडी ठोक्किएको जानकारी पछि, आपत्कालीन सेवालाई बोलाइएको थियो। गाडीका चालक पक्राउमा परेको र घटनाको अनुसन्धान जारी रहेको प्रहरीले जनाएको छ। एक रिपोर्ट।Police are urging anyone who witnessed the collision, has dashcam or CCTV, or anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit an online confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.Subscribe to the SBS Nepali podcast here.Disclaimer: We would like to inform you that the views expressed in this conversation are solely those of the speaker, and SBS neither endorses nor opposes these views.Readers seeking support with mental health can contact:Lifeline: 13 11 14Beyond Blue: 1300 22 4636Suicide Call Back Service: 1300 659 467For children between the age of 5 to 25 Kids Helpline: 1800 55 1800In an emergency, call 000.For translating and interpreting services, contact 13 14 50 or visit the SBS Mind Your Health portal for content in various languages.Embrace Multicultural Mental Health supports people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. - यदी कोही घटनाको प्रत्यक्षदर्शी भएमा, वा घटनाको ‘ड्यासक्याम' वा ‘सीसीटीभी फुटेज' भएमा, वा कसैसँग घटनाबारे केही जानकारी भएमा क्राइम स्टपर्सलाई १८०० ३३३ ००० मा सम्पर्क गर्न अथवा www.crimestoppersvic.com.au मा गोप्य रूपमा रिपोर्ट गर्न आग्रह गरिएको छ।नोट: हामी तपाईँलाई जानकारी गराउन चाहन्छौँ कि यस कुराकानीमा व्यक्त गरिएका विचारहरू वक्ता स्वयम्का हुन् र यी विचारहरू प्रति एसबीएसको समर्थन वा विरोध छैन।हाम्रा थप अडियो प्रस्तुतिहरू पोडकास्टका रूपमा उपलब्ध छन्। यो नि:शुल्क सेवा प्रयोग गर्न तपाईंले आफ्नो नाम दर्ता गर्नु पर्दैन। पोडकास्टमा सामाग्री उपलब्ध हुनासाथ सुन्न यहाँ थिच्नुहोस्।तपाईँ वा तपाईँले चिनेको कोही व्यक्तिले मानसिक स्वास्थ्य समस्या भोगिरहेको अवस्थामा सहायताका लागि यी सेवाहरूलाई सम्पर्क गर्न सक्नु हुन्छ:लाइफलाइन: १३ ११ १४ बियन्ड ब्लु: १३०० २२ ४६३६ सुसाइड कल ब्याक सर्भिस: १३०० ६५९ ४६७ पाँचदेखि २५ वर्ष उमेर समूहका लागि किड्स हेल्पलाइन: १८०० ५५ १८०० आपतकालीन अवस्थामा भने ट्रिपल जिरो अर्थात् ००० मा फोन गर्नुहोस्।दोभाषे सेवाका लागि १३ १४ ५० मा फोन गर्नुहोस्।मानसिक स्वास्थ्य सम्बन्धी बहुभाषी सामाग्रीका लागि एसबीएसको माइन्ड योर हेल्थ पोर्टलमा जानुहोस्।इम्ब्रेस मल्टिकल्चरल मेन्टल हेल्थले सांस्कृतिक र भाषिक रूपमा विविध पृष्ठभूमिका मानिसहरूलाई सहयोग प्रदान गर्दछ।
The Gold Coast property flipping market looks exciting from the outside, but the people making money are not guessing. They are treating it like a business.In this episode of Buying Gold Coast, I sit down with Gold Coast renovator Patty Glennon to talk about what it actually takes to buy, renovate and flip property for profit.After securing her 18th deal, Patty shares the lessons she has learned from renovating homes across the Gold Coast, including where money is made, where money is wasted, and why successful flipping is often more about discipline, numbers and smart decisions than flashy design choices.This episode is not just about making a property look good. It is about understanding the numbers, the buyer, the market and the decisions that can make or break a renovation.Sponsored by yourtown
Is global uncertainty creating the next major Gold Coast buying opportunity?In this episode, I break down why current market conditions could be opening up a clear window for prepared buyers. With rising fuel prices, construction costs, interest rates and global pressure making some buyers nervous, competition is starting to shift in certain parts of the market.I talk through why buyers need to follow the money, not the headlines, how infrastructure spend is shaping the Gold Coast, and why some builders and developers are stepping back right now.It is not just about buying during uncertainty. It is about understanding where the real opportunity is before the market shifts again.Sponsored by Yourtown
Gold Coast buyers are making costly mistakes right now, and most do not realise it until after they have signed.In this episode of Buying Gold Coast, I sit down with Srama Buyers Agents Morgan D'Souza, Amelia Nankervis and Ian Perkins to talk about the biggest mistakes buyers are making in the Gold Coast property market in 2026.We talk about why the market is still competitive, why buyers feel pressure to act quickly, and what can go wrong when you rush into a property without fully understanding what you are buying.This episode covers things buyers need to know, like body corporate fees, strata checks, hidden costs, negotiation mistakes and the risk of overpaying.It is not just about buying a property. It is about buying the right property, at the right price, with a clear understanding of what it could really cost you.Sponsored by yourtown
This episode exposes how youth sport and positions of authority were used as gateways to abuse in Tasmania for Reynolds and others. Through the Weiss Review, survivor testimony, and a firsthand account from a former player, we examine how trust, reputation, and police power created unchecked access to children — and a culture of silence inside change rooms. We also investigate the U-Turn program and the unresolved questions surrounding those involved. Mission Australia delivered the U Turn program as a contracted provider within a government-led youth justice initiative. The allegations discussed in this episode relate to former police officers and individuals, not Mission Australia or its staff. Mission Australia did not employ Paul Reynolds and had no role in supervising his conduct. If this episode is triggering, please pause and seek support.

The Northern Gold Coast is no longer just the affordable option. It is becoming one of the strongest opportunity zones for buyers in 2026.In this episode of Buying Gold Coast, I sit down with Olivia McRae from Team Srama to unpack what is happening across Paradise Point, Helensvale, Labrador, Biggera Waters, Southport and Ashmore.We cover where buyers are still finding value, why Southern Gold Coast buyers are moving north, and what property types are performing best right now.Because smart buying is not just about price. It is about land value, lifestyle, rental demand and long term growth.
The Gold Coast property market is not just expensive. It is changing how an entire generation thinks about buying, renting and building a future here.In this episode of Buying Gold Coast, I sit down with Ryo Takamizawa to unpack the Gold Coast housing conversation from a Gen Z perspective.We talk about what young buyers are really feeling right now, why Gen Z has not given up on property ownership, and how affordability, rental pressure, supply issues and city planning are shaping the future of the Gold Coast.It is not just about buying a home. It is about understanding the kind of city we are building, who gets to live here, and how housing impacts lifestyle, health, community and opportunity.Sponsored by yourtown
Naming a person is a challenge—but one Melbourne family has made their relatives compete for the privilege of a surname. This week Monz, Stacey and Amelia are talking about the Melbourne couple who settled their surname debate with a best-of-three rock-paper-scissors showdown. So, should we be making all family decisions via a game of competitive Jenga from now on? Plus, the school holiday rule that has parents feeling like they’re back in detention. Amelia shares the enormous effort she poured into an official essay just to take her kids overseas, as we debate if ‘world schooling’ is a genius move or just a recipe for burnout. Also, it’s the show that saved our collective sanity, but behind the scenes, Bluey is the focus of a billion-dollar financial mess. We dive into the trending story and explain the details the internet seems to be missing. And, why does Mother’s Day feel a little bit… off? We’re looking into the unexpected history of the holiday and why it’s okay if you’re feeling more ‘complicated’ than ‘celebratory’ this Sunday. Reccos Amelia recommends Caper Crew; as if The InBESTigators was directed by Wes Anderson. Monz is loving the ‘Parental Path’ video hack to capture your kids’ little voices before they grow up, plus it's a great last-minute Mother's Day gift. Stacey recommends the ‘Do It For Dolly’ campaign and the 13-DOLLY support line for any families navigating the gut-punch of school bullying.

Trigger warning: suicide and suicidal ideationThis week we have the privilege to talk to someone with incredible experience working in the mental health space.Ken Meldrum has a history of being a registered nurse for 46 years working mainly in Rural, Remote Health and Mental Health. He specialised in Suicide Prevention and Men's Health during the last 20 years.Ken retired from Qld Health 5 years ago and has since been employed with Lifeline Community Recovery, Stand By Support after Suicide Service and currently is working with Uniting Care Farmer to Farmer Support Service across Southern Qld and Far North Qld.Ken also established a Suicide Prevention Network since retirement in Boonah, Qld, through which he was able to raise money to establish two Blue Tractors within that farming community with the sign saying “Feeling Blue – Get Help” which has raised a lot of interest and sparked many conversations around suicide and suicide prevention. Other Communities across Qld, NSW and Tasmania are also establishing similar structures.Since May Ken has worked with old friends he has known for over 50 years from the motorcycling community to establish Blue Bikes on busy roads across Norther NSW and Qld with the same message, initially three were planned from March last year but the number is now approaching 20, we established a not-for-profit organisation titled the Blue Motorcycle Project Inc and a Facebook Group with now over 600 members.In this episode he shares:- His life before working in nursing and how early experiences shaped his perspective of suicide- His entry into nursing, work in jails and psychiatric wards, and the “baptism of fire” training that shaped his approach- His encounters with people who took their own lives and the impact of losing patients and friends unexpectedly- How rural and remote work and Indigenous community experience exposed the scale and causes of suicide risk- The Blue Tractor and Blue Motorcycle Project—why visible roadside blue machinery/bikes start conversations about suicide- The power of practical community-focused prevention- His own lived experience of suicidal ideation, the protective factors that kept him alive, and what recovery looked like- How connection, simple listening (“do no harm”), and community partnerships can reduce isolation and save livesKey Quotes"I just fell into a really dark place and I started to have real thoughts about taking my life.""It's the lack of connections, the loss of connections that cause the problem. Once people become isolated, that's when they're at risk.""The bottom line, the most important thing we can do is do no harm. Sit down and listen to 'em. Let them know someone cares."More aboutIf you feel you are struggling, you can reach out to the services below:· Lifeline Counselling Service: 13 11 14 (24-hours)· NSW Mental Health Line: 1800 011 511 (24-hours)· Royal Prince Alfred Hospital crisis service: 9515 6111 (ask for after-hours crisis workers)· Beyondblue Support Service: 1300 224 636· Headspace: 1800 650 890· Kids Helpline: 1800 55 1800· MensLine Australia: 1300 789 978Suicide Call Back Service: 1300 659 467You can get involved with the podcast online On facebook in our community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/challengesthatchangeusOr on Instagram: @challengesthatchangeusIf you want to contact the podcast, email us here: support@challengesthatchangeus.comOr check out our website: www.Challengesthatchangeus.com If you want to find out more about what Ali does, check out her business via the website:http://www.trialtitudeperformance.com.au Hosted on Acast.

In case you missed it! Here is a throwback to one of our favourite early episodes. *Interview starts at 18:00*Ep: 82: Disordered Eating in Runners / Dietitian Maddi ParsonsMaddi Parsons is a dietitian specialising in disordered eating, mental health and sports nutrition. Maddi speaks on an array of topics within the world of nutrition for runners and our relationship with food. We learn about the difference between Disordered Eating and an Eating Disorder, some red flags to lookout for and the implications of under fuelling on performance and bone health.Some of the topics covered include;-power to weight ratio-intuitive eating vs planned for performance goals-fitting processed gels into a predominately 'wholefood' diet-fibre and gut comfort during races-fuelling for long runs-diet culture and body image in sport-cravings and hunger cues for athletes -using food as a reward and running to earn foodOur chat with Maddi shone a light on some topics that are often swept under the rug, it was both emotive and educational. We know you'll have lots of takeaways from this one and we can't wait to hear what you think.You can reach out to Maddi on her website https://www.maddiparsonsnutrition.com/about or instagram via https://www.instagram.com/maddiparsonsnutrition/ If this ep has brought anything up for you we've put some links below where you can reach out for help;Lifeline: https://www.lifeline.org.au/Kids Helpline: https://kidshelpline.com.au/000 EmergencyButterfly Foundation https://butterfly.org.au/ Thanks for all of your support!

This podcast discusses domestic violence. Sit this one out if you need to Many of us are enraged, shocked, and paralysed by the unfolding information from the JE files. Many of us are also dismayed at the continuing epidemic of domestic violence and murder-by-partner. What do we do? How can we help change things? We can learn how to be an ally in our own communities and circles better. Outrage and sadness must be used as springboards for action, I truly believe it. I'm joined by counsellor and author Patricia Gordon Stevens to talk about domestic and partner violence — a subject too often minimised, despite affecting 25% of women in some of the world's wealthiest countries. We explore why silence and discomfort only deepen the harm, and why education, community, and care matter so deeply.In this conversation, we cover:Why the moment a woman chooses to leave is often the most dangerous timeHow coercive control can appear long before physical violence doesThe subtle red flags friends, families, and colleagues can look forHow to ask caring, non-judgmental questions that keep the connection openWhy Patricia chose fiction (Madness in Memphis) to build empathy that leads to actionThe role men can play in calling out harmful behaviour and changing culture locallyThis episode is confronting, but it's also hopeful. Change doesn't start with grand gestures — it starts with noticing, staying connected, and showing up for the women in our lives.I hope you find it useful and helpful as I did, Alexx, your host.

There are names we will never forget from the Bondi attacks. On today's show, Jessie, Holly and Amelia want to honour just a few of the many heroes who risked — and in some cases lost — their lives trying to save others in the worst terror attack ever to happen on Australia's soil. And we want to tell you a little bit about what it feels like in Sydney, and at Bondi at the moment. Not everyone is able to turn their attention elsewhere this week, but for those who can and want to, we're having some other conversations, too. Like, Taylor Swift, Timothee Chalamet and the era of being able to say, "Yeah, I'm pretty good at this" without cringe. And, the power of gathering. Being together has never felt more urgent, but at whose house, and who's bringing the cake? Even if you hate hosting, it's hard to avoid at this time of year and you know what makes it better? Good guests. We tell you how to be one, and Amelia shares a thank-you note rule that impressed us all.

Like so many others, we’re still trying to come to terms with the scale and impact of the recent attack in Bondi. As a result, we’ve made the decision to pause our usual episode schedule - it didn’t feel right to continue as normal, and we appreciate your understanding. We also want to acknowledge the civilians and first responders who stepped forward in moments of unthinkable danger. Your courage and compassion made a difference when it mattered most. Our thoughts are with the Jewish community and everyone directly affected.

It's not a usual show today, because it's not a usual day. At sunset on Sunday, at Australia's most famous beach, Australia experienced the worst act of terrorism ever to take place on our soil. As the local Jewish community celebrated the beginning of Chanukah, families gathered around food, face-painting and even a petting zoo for an 'everyone is welcome' opening to the Festival Of Lights. And two men opened fire. Some Outlouders will be directly affected by what happened on Sunday. Others will be far removed but asking how this could happen here in Australia, and what they can do to help. Some will just want to talk it over. Today Mia Freedman, Jessie Stephens, Holly Wainwright and Amelia Lester are here to do exactly that.

Three Out Loud hosts, one tarot card reader, and our unfiltered reactions. What could go wrong? Outlouders, this is an episode we have been looking forward to. Also, we’re not just reading our futures — Holly unpacks the vulnerable and heartfelt revelations in Liz Gilbert’s new book, including her self-proclaimed 'love addiction'.

Like you, we've been devastated by the Melbourne investigation of alleged incidents in childcare centres, and we want to do something about it. Victoria explains how you can try to protect your children from vulnerable situations and how to be more proactive about your child's safety. ******* We also get into your Par-Rants for this week, where you air out your parenting grievances. This week's rant hit a nerve and our pockets! Brought to you by ALDI Just low prices every day. ALDI. Good Different.

Jessica is a proudly AuDHD and disabled woman and she works as a policy advisor with People With Disability Australia. She has previously worked as a journalist at the ABC, where she focused on the experiences of late diagnosed Autistic adults across Australia and wrote, among other pieces, a long form feature article called “A Rich New Lens”. She would later be nominated as a finalist for this article, alongside her producer, for the Media Diversity Australia Award, issued by the Walkley Foundation in 2023. She has also written for ABC Everyday, ABC News, Reframing Autism, Yooralla, and others. In this episode we deep dive into how neurodivergent stories are told, by whom, and for what purpose, and unpack to impact of this on the neurodivergent community. We cover: How Jessica thinks about neurodivergence. Jessica’s experience of her neurodivergence, and how this evolved over time along with her sense of self and identity. What are stories, why do we tell stories, and why are stories important? How power dynamics become embedded in cultural stories and ways we can work to shift this. Unpacking how neurodivergent stories are told. What does trauma-informed journalism and storytelling look like? Jessica’s current hyperfixations and a personal story on how Autism can show up for her.

A fed up, heartbroken Aussie mum was all over the news for storming a classroom to confront her 12 year old daughter's bully. We spoke to the mother exclusively this morning to get the full story and our hearts broke. After chatting we took calls from parents in similar positions to see where the system is failing our children. We also chat with the Shadow Senator Kerrynne Liddle to see why the E-Safety Commissioner doesn't seem to be helping the ongoing issue. If you or your child need further support, please contact the Lifeline number on 13 11 14 or the Kids Helpline on 1800 551 800.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
