When Robert Godden joined us in 2018 for Episode 235, we read tea leaves to predict Steven Marshall’s election victory. Today, Robert returns with his tea expertise as we sit down with two Senate hopefuls – Dianah Walter and Dr. Rod Pearce AM – who are campaigning together under the “SA Matters” banner. While sipping tea, we explore how these candidates plan to navigate Canberra’s corridors while maintaining their commitment to South Australian priorities. In a refreshing departure from party politics, Dianah and Rod share their journey from collaboration on women’s health initiatives to forming an unendorsed Senate ticket focused squarely on local issues. With Dianah’s background in regional advocacy and Rod’s decades of experience as a respected GP shaping national health policy, they present a compelling case for representation that transcends party loyalty. There is no SA Drink Of The Week, this week. And in the Musical Pilgrimage, we close the show with Swap Meet’s dreamy indie folk-rock track “Ceiling Fan” – an apt choice given the band’s own journey of rebranding from Sour Sob and striking out with a new identity, just as Dianah is doing with her political realignment.

Running Sheet: SA Matters This Election 00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:00:00 SA Drink Of The Week No South Australian Drink Of The Week, this week. 00:02:30 SA Matters: Behind the Independent Campaign In a political landscape where party loyalty often overshadows regional advocacy, Dianah Walter and Dr. Rod Pearce have emerged as “SA Matters” – an unendorsed Senate ticket with a decidedly local focus. Dianah, fresh from her departure from the Legalised Cannabis Party, and Rod, a respected GP whose voice has shaped national health policy, have joined forces at a time when social media giants face increasing scrutiny for their influence on political discourse. “South Australia does matter” isn’t just their campaign slogan – it’s the philosophy that brought them together through a shared history of advocacy that includes women’s health initiatives. Their promise is straightforward: representation that puts our state first, regardless of partisan pressure. “Our loyalty is to the work we’ve done together in the past and to basically being an advocate for South Australia,” Rod explains, citing specific examples of how party senators might face conflicts between state interests and party priorities. This unwavering focus on South Australian priorities forms the cornerstone of their campaign. Dianah’s recent encounter with caregivers of a disabled woman reveals their grassroots approach: “What can we do to help you?” she asked after a lengthy discussion. Their response was telling: “In all of the last two years they’ve been coming to that place, not once had anyone stopped to talk to them.” This approach reflects the StoryBrand framework where the voter is the hero and candidates are guides – something Dianah intuitively grasped at their campaign launch: “You are not here because of me… I believe you’re actually here because you’re here for you.” For Rod, this connection to community has been central to his 40-year career as a GP: “You need to have that 15-minute, one-on-one conversation, which I have with 20 or 30 people every day… but that’s gotta translate into effective advocacy.” Robert highlights how traditional media creates lasting trust: “I’ve been an avid listener to ABC radio since I was 18… I’ve just heard your voice so many times,” he tells Rod. “We don’t necessarily believe what we read on Facebook, but we certainly believe what we hear on the radio.” Dianah shares radio’s crucial role during emergencies: “We recently lost power for nearly 24 hours on the YP. I’m a Country Fire Service volunteer… our mobile phone towers went down and we had no connection as emergency services volunteers. But I got me little transistor out that dad gave me, and I tuned into ABC and I knew what was going on.” The darker side of modern media becomes apparent when Dianah describes setting up her campaign Facebook page: “Three seconds in my feed, I had Trump, Elon Musk, lots of right wing extremists in my feed!'” Robert, a self-described “below the line voter, like 10% of the population,” offers perspective: “Australian democracy is based on the person who the least people have a problem with gets in… it’s not about who’s the best, it’s about who’s the least worst.” This conversation reveals the complexity facing independent candidates – they must define themselves by values rather than party policies, building trust through personal connection rather than political shorthand. 01:03:30 Musical Pilgrimage In the Musical Pilgrimage, we feature Murray Bridge’s own Swapmeet with Ceiling Fan. Swapmeet began life as Sour Sob before a legal threat forced them to change their name. This journey of rebranding while maintaining artistic integrity mirrors our Senate hopefuls’ commitment to authentic representation. The name “Swapmeet” carries special significance for lead singer Venus O’Broin, who got her current guitar at a swap meet – a grassroots connection that echoes our candidates’ approach to building their campaign from the ground up. Swapmeet’s debut EP “Oxalis” (cheekily named after the genus of the sour sob plant) features today’s track “Ceiling Fan,” which captures the dreamy indie folk rock sound that earned them Best Song at last year’s SA Music Awards. Like our guests today, Swapmeet proved that sometimes starting fresh can be liberating while staying true to your roots.Support the show: https://theadelaideshow.com.au/listen-or-download-the-podcast/adelaide-in-crowd/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Darren Thomas is the CEO of Thomas Foods International and in this episode we chat about his journey, the family business, and how they've not just made the most of opportunities they've overcome huge adversity.  From growing into new international markets, supporting local communities, the business is proud of its heritage and excited for the future.TakeawaysBeing present and connected with employees and customers is crucial for success in the agricultural industry.South Australia offers unique advantages for businesses, such as access to owners and CEOs and affordability.Strategic acquisitions and expansion into processing have been key factors in the growth of Thomas Foods International.Teamwork, continuous learning, and a clear vision are essential for achieving success in the industry. The major fire at the TFI meat processing plant in Murray Bridge was a significant challenge, but there were no injuries or loss of life.The rebuilding process was a huge undertaking, but TFI was able to mitigate losses and quickly get back to production.TFI has diversified its business into seafood, cooked meats, and pet food, allowing for the extraction of maximum value from the carcass.Sustainability and innovation are important focus areas for TFI, including investments in environmental awareness, cyber security, and financial reporting.A sustainable price for farmers is crucial for the long-term viability of the agricultural industry.LivestockSA Partnership:Today's episode is part of our partnership with Livestock SA's AgRi-Silience program, designed to improve strategic planning and long-term resilience for forward-looking South Australian livestock and broadacre enterprises.Participants of the program get one-on-one coaching, tailored advice from a consultant and get the chance to meet a network of other farmers enabling long term strategic planning to sustain your business into the future. Funded by the Australian Government and the Government of South Australia as part of the Future Drought Fund's Farm Business Resilience Program, AgRi-Silience has already helped over 1000 South Australian farmers build financial literacy, confidence in decision-making, and essential resilience skills. You can secure your place and take the next step towards a more resilient future by visiting the AgRi-Silience page on the Livestock SA website www.livestocksa.org.au.

Contemplate this scenario: you buy a capital city house for $380,000 and a year later it has a market value of $530,000. Up 40% in 12 months, providing a capital gain of $150,000. Or this one: you paid just $240,000 for a house in a regional centre and a year later it's worth $325,000 – up 35% in 12 months. And you're getting a rental return above 7%. A third example is paying $380,000 for a house in a capital city and watching it grow to $480,000 in 12 months. Meanwhile, rents have grown 25% in your suburb, underpinned by a vacancy rate of 0.4%, and your rental return has increased from around 6% initially to well above 7% a year later. These are some of the scenarios to emerge from our analysis of the 50 locations in the special report, The Pulse, published quarterly by Hotspotting in conjunction with depreciation experts Washington Brown. That 40% capital growth scenario has occurred in the Perth suburb of Hillman, which has benefited from the extraordinary price increases experienced in the Western Australian capital in the past 12 months. The 35% leap in values happened in the little-known NSW regional town of Moree, where values have been boosted by construction of Australia's biggest national infrastructure project, the $35 billion Inland Rail Link which spans the three major eastern states. The third scenario relates to Elizabeth East in the northern suburbs of Adelaide, a precinct heavily targeted by first-home buyers and investors for its affordability, good amenities and proximity to major employment nodes. These and other outcomes in locations featured in our report in the past year demonstrate one of the fundamental philosophies that underpins our recommendations to investors:  Contrary to a popular real estate theory, you don't need to choose between capital growth and high rental yields. If you select your location well, you can benefit from both. The 50 locations featured in The Pulse report are chosen because they offer above-average rental yields – but we also require our nominated locations to have the credentials for capital growth. Of the 50 locations in the current edition of the report, 48 have recorded growth in their median prices in the past 12 months – including 30 with capital growth above 10%. The top 10 have all had price rises well above 20% - in addition to providing superior rental yields. But the truly outstanding markets are the ones with exceptional growth in both prices AND rents. Consider these examples. Firstly, Armadale in WA. Before Perth's boom convinced investors that any house in Perth was a good buy, few people wanted to buy in downmarket Armadale. Now it's flavour of the year for those seeking a cheap house with high growth prospects. The data for the past year is extraordinary, with the median price up 35% and rents up 28%. The median is now $460,000 but you can still get 6% yields. Then, there's Carey Park, WA: This affordable suburb in the key regional city of Bunbury has become a sought-after location for investors seeking low entry prices and high rental yields. Those who followed our advice and bought there a year ago would be happy: the median house price has jumped 22% and rents are up 23%. The median price is still under $400,000 and rental yields remain around 7%. What about Murray Bridge, SA: Regional South Australia seldom features in the national discussion about real estate growth but it has excelled in recent years, led by Murray Bridge, where both the median price and the median rent for houses have risen 20% in the past 12 months. Vacancies are ultra low at 0.4% and, despite the growth of the past few years, the median price remains within reach of most buyers at $430,000. And then there's Woodridge, QLD: This is another unfashionable option which has nevertheless out-performed. Typical units in this southern Brisbane suburb now cost above $300,000 following annual median price growth of 24% - and, with rents also rising 16%, investors can find yields between 6% and 7%, with the vacancy rate around 1%. There are many other examples like these on our list of 50 key suburbs which we have listed for their superior rental yields AND potential for capital growth. And they're all affordable places that should fit within the budgets of most investors.

Australia has some outstanding markets which are performing on every metric, including price growth, rental growth, low vacancies and high yields. And many of these places on not what you might expect. Every quarter, Hotspotting publishes a report we call The Pulse, to identify 50 locations across Australia which deliver rental yields well above the average to investors. The primary parameter of our national Top 50 list is to identify good markets with high rental yields, but our criteria also includes prospects for capital gains – and this report features locations which perform outstandingly well on price growth. To provide an example of the possibilities, consider the regional town of Murray Bridge in South Australia. In Murray Bridge, house rents have risen 27% in the past year, with the vacancy rate dropping further in the latest quarter to just 0.4% and the median rental yield growing from 5.4% to 5.5%. The median house price has grown 22% to $415,000 in the past year. In Geraldton in WA, the median house price rose 11.6% to $355,000 in the past quarter, but the median rental yield remained well above average at 6.7%, following a 23% annual rise in house rents, with vacancies low at 0.8%. This report also highlights some of the nation's promising unit markets, in recognition of the rising trend of more and more buyers opting for apartments and townhouses – and attached dwellings now out-performing on price growth. In Bowen Hills in inner-city Brisbane, the vacancy rate is 1.2% and the median unit rent has risen 15% in the past 12 months, with the median rental yield increasing from 6.2% to 6.6% in the past three months.  In that quarter, the median unit price has increased 7.1% from $425,000 to $455,000. There are many other examples of this kind of outstanding performance on both rents and capital gains – all identified in the new quarterly edition of The Pulse.

Oh, and here's our index of all episode in one concisepage Running Sheet: Remembering Beyond Remembrance Day 00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:00:00 SA Drink Of The Week No SA Drink Of The Week this week. 00:03:29 Meredith Burgess That was a little snippet of the Concert Band and Chorus of the RAAF, singing Quartermaster's Store. I grew up with my dad playing "hits of the war years" over and over again and I always wondered what a quartermaster was. Well, fast forward to today and I am sitting next to a woman who has spent some of her army career as a quartermaster. I refer to Retired Major, Meredith Burgess. Meredith, we're sitting in the Magill RSL Sub Branch, where you are President (she is also Vice President of the RSL in South Australia) and on November 18, 2023, I'll be quiz master for an 80s trivia quiz being run by the Magill Sunrise Rotary Club to raise money for your programs here. Before we talk about them, and before you help me wrap my head around the role of a quartermaster, there is some South Australian business to attend to. You grew up in the wheat and sheep area of Lameroo and finished your schooling in Murray Bridge. What do you remember most about life in that part of Australia at that time? I worked for 7 years at 5MU and would often drive out to regional towns to do interviews in my HG70 panel van without any knowledge of mechanics. Was the tyranny of distance part of the reason that attracted you to getting under the hood? In other words, was it a simple survival mechanism? This drive you had for motor mechanics and metal fabrication led you to TAFE and then you joined the Army Apprentice School at Albury-Wodonga in the second class of female trainees where only 4 out of 13 graduated. My daughters have demanded that I ask you to share what it was like being outnumbered on grounds of gender and what enabled you to get through and then later get encouraged to undertake training as an officer at Duntroon? You've had various roles as quartermaster, what is it, in layperson's terms because to the best of my knowledge it was the person responsible for making sure supplies got to where they're needed? To get a sense of why RSL clubs and services are so important, I think us lay people need to remember the extremes service people are exposed to. Sometimes this is combat but at other times it is the aftermath of combat and atrocities and just squalid conditions. Would you mind just painting a picture or two of the conditions you and your fellow service people experienced when you were among the first to arrive in East Timor in 1999? You're on the record discussing the difficulties you faced in adjusting back to civilian life but it seems that your involvement in this RSL club has not only been good for you but also good for the club. Can you take us through the club's resurrection over the past 10 years, and then we'll look at some of the services. What keeps you going? What feedback do you get? Can we be part of it - non service people? Is there any protocol to follow? I spoke at a Mess In night for the RAAF at Edinburgh a few years ago and I had 17 pages of protocol to read, including the Passing Of The Port. 00:51:20 Deb Herring A theme of the conversation with our previous guest, Meredith Burgess, will also run through our next chat. That theme is the human drive to build community even amid change. This is given great focus in the lives of Australian Defence Force personnel because they are posted to different locations with great frequency, having to pull up roots and replant them over and over again. Deborah Herring has lived that life when she was in the army - twice. She's now living and working in the Barossa working as Chair and Editor of The Top Ender Tri-Services Magazine (which is a magazine for service personnel and veterans) while also running an events and tourism business, Barossa Fun Factory. Deb, you're settled in the Barossa now. I assume that's better than being moved about all the time, but what's it really like because us humans learn to adapt. Is it a challenge to learn to be in one place? How much did you move about in the Army? What do "relationships" look like in the defence force? Is it hard to build friendships or do you get better at bonding faster? What happens if the team on a particular deployment is not ideal? Meredith Burgess mentioned she felt quite lost when she left the Army. What was your experience? Your work with The Top Ender seems to be driven by a fire in your belly to give veterans a sense of connection. What fuels that fire? What sort of stories do you cover? At first look, nothing seems further from being in the defence force than running a company called Barossa Fun Factory. But there is some shared DNA, isn't there, because you talk a lot about your pop up events and corporate workshops as not only creating a sense of fun but deeply building connections between participants? What were the first things you ran? Are there regular events for kids? Halloween is just ahead of us at the time of recording. Special calendar events get you springing into action, don't they? You have run some successful corporate events, too, that have a bit if "kid's fun" to them. Talk us through an example and how it's linked to greater team engagement? And with Xmas upon us, I want to finish on something I think is excellent. You stage events called Mingle Bells, which transform the typically awkward or sometimes drunken company christmas event into a time of real connection. Finally, Remebrance Day is upon us. Is that a significant day for you, or is Anzac Day stronger. What do these days mean to you? 01:26:43 Musical Pilgrimage Our featured song this episode is Shake A Leg Like Elvis by Dino Jag. Given that Elvis did his time in the Army, it's only fair we feature a tribute to him by our own Dino Jag, on this pre-Remembrance Day episode.Support the show: https://theadelaideshow.com.au/listen-or-download-the-podcast/adelaide-in-crowd/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
