Australia's opposition party withdrew election promises to prevent public servants from working from home and to slash more than one in five federal public sector jobs. Opposition leader Peter Dutton announced his conservative Liberal Party had dropped its pledge that public servants would be required to work in their offices five days a week except in exceptional circumstances. “I think we made a mistake in relation to this policy,” Dutton told Nine Network television. “I think it's important that we say that and recognize it and our intention was to make sure that where taxpayers are working hard and their money is being spent to pay wages that it's being spent efficiently." The opposition also withdrew a promise to use forced redundancy payments to slash 41,000 jobs from the 185,000 positions in the Australian Public Service. The reductions would instead be achieved through natural attrition and an employment freeze, he said. Dutton's announcements were the first significant policy shifts since Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called the May 3 election in March. Albanese urged voters not to believe that Dutton now supported flexible work arrangements for public servants. “He's now pretending that that program won't proceed,” Albanese told reporters. Members of the center-left Labor Party government have accused their conservative opponents of mimicking U.S. President Donald Trump and his billionaire adviser Elon Musk who has spearheaded the so-called Department of Government Efficiency efforts to downsize and overhaul the U.S. government. “This is DOGE-y Dutton taking his cues and policies straight from the U.S.,” Treasurer Jim Chalmers said last week. The government had argued that the opposition's policy to reduce workplace flexibility would disproportionately disadvantage women because they often had greater childcare responsibilities.

Ben Fordham, 2GB Breakfast host Nic speaks with one of the most powerful voices in Australian media - 2GB Breakfast Show host Ben Fordham. Ben has been at the helm of Sydney's 2GB Breakfast Show since mid 2020, taking over the mic from veteran broadcaster Alan Jones. Ben first started his radio career at 2UE, and in 1997 won his first Walkley Award. He's been with the Nine Network since 1999 and has worked on a range of programs including 60 Minutes and Today Show, before returning to his first media love – radio. He was at the helm of 2GB's Drive Show for a decade before he became Breakfast host and he and his team now set the nation's news agenda. In this chat, Nic discovers: The text exchange with Anthony Albanese that had Ben breaking one of the biggest political stories of 2024. What drives Ben to break news – it's the “I know something that you don't” element. Why differing opinions matter in the voice of middle Australia. How Ben finds his best producers. Why he initially didn't want to do the breakfast show… “The coward in me said no”. And what Ben's go-to karaoke song is. The energy and enthusiasm that you get from this chat with Ben is infectious and the cameo role from a former producer is a laugh out loud moment. There are a lot of takeaways from this for both media and experts. Thanks for listening to The Experts Podcast.

For several decades, Ray Hartmann was a regular on the Nine Network's Donnybrook where he often clashed with other St. Louis journalists about a litany of local issues. He also started the Riverfront Times, which regularly took a contrarian view about politics and culture in the St. Louis region. But earlier this year, Hartmann announced he was leaving the journalism world to take on U.S. Rep. Ann Wagner, R-Ballwin. And on an episode of the Politically Speaking podcast, Hartmann made the case that he would be a more present and effective legislator for the 2nd Congressional District, which includes a large swath of the St. Louis region. “Our politics are broken and Congress is broken,” Hartmann said. “And I've been in the public eye for a long time, and I just felt this was the time to step up.”

If there was one thing you think society should talk more about, what would it be? “Being Stalked is no joke - it had a major impact on my life and often victims are too scared or embarrassed to talk about it.”_____________Many of us would have made a joke about stalking. Using the word casually in situations like people following us around, finding out all you can about someone online before you meet them or even those overly enthusiastic people that step over the ‘too much' boundary, we might say ‘What a stalker!'. But for my guest today being stalked was no joke.Journalist Nicole Madigan is a victim-survivor and believes stalking needs to be spoken of with more seriousness. Her latest book, Obsession: A journalist and victim-survivor's investigation into stalking details how she was stalked for three years by her partner's ex-girlfriend. This was a woman she didn't even know. A woman she'd spoken to in passing only once at her son's cricket match. Nicole was previously a television reporter with the Nine Network and has spent the past 15 years writing investigative articles, news pieces, long-form features and content for a wide range of publications and businesses. She is currently a Senior Writer for Mamamia and has a passionate interest in domestic violence and family law, writing frequently on these and related topics, in the hope of raising awareness and evoking change.  Nicole is also a non-executive Board Director of Friends with Dignity, a charity providing support to victim-survivors of domestic violence, and is an ambassador for domestic violence advocacy group My Red Flags. She hopes that her story could serve as an example and that people and institutions start treating the issue with the seriousness that it deservesThis is a story almost too bizarre to believe.. and therein lies the problem. Let's meet Nicole to find out more… _____For more information about Nicole, check out these places;-Website: https://nicolemadigan.com/Her Book: Obsession: power, fixation, control - A journalist and victim-survivors investigation into stalkingInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bynicolemadigan/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicolemadigan/Head to michellejcox.com for more information about the ONE QUESTION podcast, your host or today's guestsConnect with Michelle on Linkedin here:- @MichelleJCoxConnect with Michelle on Instagram here:- @michellejcoxConnect with Michelle on Facebook here - @michellejcoxAND, if you have a burning topic you'd love people to talk more about, or know someone who'd be great to come on the One Question podcast, please get in touch;- hello@michellejcox.com

Welcome to Living Well with MS, where we are pleased to welcome Shannon Harvey as our guest! Shannon is an Australian journalist and filmmaker specialising in wellness, mental health, and optimising wellbeing for those with chronic conditions. Watch this episode on YouTube here. Keep reading for the key episode takeaways and Shannon's bio. Questions and Timestamps: 03:17 Can you tell us about your film ‘The Connection: Mind Your Body'? 05:22 In your film ‘The Connection' you interview some of the top scholars on mindfulness and the mind-body connection including Jon Kabat-Zinn and Dr. Herbert Benson. Can you tell us a bit about their work and what you learned from them? 08:05 You mentioned that for your project ‘My Year of Living Mindfully' (both a film and book) you tried out the science on yourself. How did that go? 10:01 Is there a big difference between doing mindfulness rigorously every day and doing it three or four times a week? 11:21 You've also written a book, ‘The Whole Health Life', and have interviewed dozens of scientists and patients about living a healthy life with an autoimmune disease. So, what are the takeaways from writing that? 12:55 You count Professor George Jelinek as a personal hero of yours. Could you tell us about what it was like to meet George? 15:44 Could you tell us about your latest project called ‘What if mental illness was preventable'? 18:38 How can listeners find out more about your work and watch your films? Key Takeaways: Making lifelong changes is hard but worth it. 12:19 “‘The Whole Health Life' is broken up into very practical things that the Overcoming MS community is already [doing]. Things like making sure I regularly exercise, get enough sleep, have meaningful connections with the people that I love, and [how to] nurture those relationships. Then, [it] talks about the fact that making these lifelong changes is really, really hard. The book is also about how we can apply the science of behaviour change to actually make [these] changes [so] that we can actually stick to [them].” Professor George Jelinek shows that people can live well with chronic conditions. 13:04 “I met George (Jelinek) when I was first shooting ‘The Connection'. It was very much the beginning of my understanding of the many things that we can do for ourselves in order to live well with a chronic illness. He blew me away the first time I met him, because he was really well, despite everything. Despite his family history, despite his prognosis, he was just so well, and meeting him was quite inspirational because I thought to myself, ‘well, if, if he can do it, then he's like a living case study for me to show that I can do it, too.'” Shannon's next project asks, “What if mental illness was preventable?”   16:53 “While I was making ‘My Year of Living Mindfully', I learned that so much of mental illness actually begins before the age of 20 or 22, I think it is. If you develop a mental illness at a young age, you are significantly more likely to develop it again later in life. If you've developed it a second time, it greatly increases your chances of developing it a third time. So, I'm really personally interested in this idea of prevention.” Want to learn more about living a full and happy life with multiple sclerosis? Sign up to our newsletter to hear our latest tips.

The Festival will be the first production of Lionheart's 2023 season, and it promises to be a fast-paced event that will introduce theatre-goers to new artists from across the Atlanta area. Performances will be on Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and on Sundays at 2 p.m. All performances are at Lionheart Theatre, located at 10 College Street in Norcross.   The scripts that will be performed come from a group called Merely Writers which is sponsored by Merely Players Presents, a group that gathers to hear works in development read aloud by actors. During this process, writers can hear their own words and get feedback. Lionheart Theatre Company will present “Dead Giveaway” by Daniel Guyton and “Wedding Reception Rewards Program” by Peter Dakutis. Live Arts Theatre is also a Gwinnett nonprofit arts organization. The group will perform “Bump in the Night” by John Mabey and “Speed Dating” by Nedra Roberts. Main Street Theatre hails from Tucker. The group will present “Accusations” by Steven D. Miller and “Pre-Need” by David Davis. Merely Players Presents is located in Doraville. Their two plays are “Roughing It” by Judy Klass and “Broken Hearts” by Karen Ruetz. Onstage Atlanta is located in Scottsdale. The group will perform “The Wedding Night Tweets” by Daniel Guyton. The stage manager for the festival is Janet Conant. This nine-play collection was selected to be a combination of dramas and comedies. Scripts were divided up among the five theater companies, and each theater is responsible for casting its plays and each play's direction. Gatorade announced Friday morning that Mill Creek standout Caleb Downs is the 2022-23 Gatorade Georgia Football Player of the Year. Downs, who begins classes at Alabama this month, is the first Gatorade Georgia Football Player of the Year to be chosen from Mill Creek High School. The award, which recognizes not only outstanding athletic excellence, but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the field, distinguishes Downs as Georgia's best high school football player. Now a finalist for the prestigious Gatorade National Football Player of the Year award to be announced in January, Downs joins an elite alumni association of state award-winners in 12 sports, including Trevor Lawrence (2018-19 & 2016-17, Cartersville High School), Matthew Stafford (2005-06, Highland Park High School, Texas) and Emmitt Smith (1986-87, Escambia High School, Fla.). The 6-foot, 195-pound senior safety and running back led the Hawks to a 14-1 record and the Class AAAAAAA state championship this past season. Downs recorded 76 tackles and made five interceptions, returning two of them for touchdowns. Downs also rushed for 390 yards and 20 scores, including three TDs in the Hawks' 70-35 win over Carrollton High School in the state final. Ranked as the nation's No. 13 recruit in the Class of 2023 by 247Sports.com, he also had 36 receptions for 422 yards and three scores.

A company that specializes in nuclear fuel cell technology and consulting solutions has signed a lease for an office in Peachtree Corners. Lincoln Property Company Southeast announced NAC International signed the lease for 23,000-square-feet of space at the 2 Sun office building in Technology Park Atlanta. The 98.040-square-foot 2 Sun building was recently renovated to add campus-wide Wi-Fi internet, food delivery service for tenants and an outdoor patio. Lincoln said the northeast Atlanta submarket has outperformed other submarkets in recent years and its 15.9% vacancy rate is the lowest among major areas in metro Atlanta.    Looking for a fun way to start off the new year with your kids? The Children's Museum of Atlanta has you covered as it opens a new exhibit at the end of the month. “Splash and Bubbles: Dive In, Lend a Fin!” opens on Jan. 21. The exhibit is based on the popular PBS Kids TV show, “Splash and Bubbles,” a hit animated series that encourages children to explore ocean science and marine biology through character-driven comedy. The series is co-produced by The Jim Henson Company and Herschend Entertainment Studios. According to museum officials, the new exhibit builds on kids' connections to the characters and their habitats, immersing them in a larger-than-life marine environment and introducing them to the incredible world of ocean exploration. While exploring the early childhood STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) based exhibit, children will be encouraged to build both scientific inquiry and social-emotional skills as they learn how to protect the ocean and its ecosystems, museum officials said. Ocean conservation is a key message within the exhibit, encouraging families to understand that they can create “a small ripple to help our big ocean.” Featuring a variety of hands-on exhibit components, “Splash and Bubbles: Dive In, Lend a Fin!” invites children to discover a whole new world as they navigate an under-the-sea maze in a kelp forest, explore a sunken ship that has become an artificial reef, interact with puppet characters created by Jim Henson's Creature Shop and more. The Magic House, St. Louis Children's Museum served as the creative producers for the new exhibit, created in partnership with The Jim Henson Company and Herschend Enterprises. The exhibit is made possible thanks to generous support from Tim and Elizabeth Swank, Anna and Jim McKelvey and the Graybar Foundation. Local media sponsorship is provided by the Nine Network. The exhibit will be at Children's Museum of Atlanta through April 30 and is free with museum admission. For more information, go to: childrensmuseumatlanta.org. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners was scheduled to appoint Commissioner Jasper Watkins III as its vice-chairman for 2023 on Tuesday. That was the way it was listed on the board's meeting agenda. Things changed during the meeting, however. When the item came up for a vote, Watkins instead nominated fellow Commissioner Ben Ku for the position. The commission then voted to affirm the choice. So, Ku will now serve as the second-in-command on the commission for the next 12 months. That means he will be the person who presides over meetings when Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson is unavailable to do so. It's probably not too surprising that Watkins was not the person who ended up getting picked to serve as vice-chairman, however. The commission has traditionally rotated the vice-chairmanship between its members and Watkins was the vice-chairman in 2022. Ku, who has served on the board longer than any of his colleagues, previously served as vice-chairman in 2019.   For advertising inquiries, please email j.southerland@bgadgroup.com For more information be sure to visit www.bgpodcastnetwork.com   https://www.lawrencevillega.org/  https://www.foxtheatre.org/  https://guideinc.org/  https://www.psponline.com/  https://www.kiamallofga.com/  https://www.milb.com/gwinnett  https://www.fernbankmuseum.org/        .      See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hon är prinsessan som tröttnade på att vara en lyxfågel i en guldbur, och som bestämde sig för att ta sig ur sin pappa, emirens, järngrepp. Det här är den osannolika berättelsen om hennes flyktförsök. I mars 2018 nås världen av ett rop på hjälp i form av ett videomeddelande på Youtube.I videon syns en 32-årig kvinna presentera sig som Latifa bint Mohammed Al Maktoum, prinsessa av Dubai. Hon är dotter till shejk Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, och säger att hon hålls inlåst mot sin vilja.Meddelandet publiceras en vecka efter att Latifa och hennes finländska vän Tiina Jauhiainen förts bort av kommandosoldater, efter en vågad flykt på land och till sjöss.Plötsligt frågar sig nyhetsredaktioner världen över: Vem är egentligen Latifa, och kan hennes berättelse verkligen stämma?Hennes pappa är emir av Dubai, och en av Förenade Arabemiratens mäktigaste män. Han är en hängiven ridsportsfantast och har goda relationer till Väst, inte minst till det brittiska hovet.Men ett år efter Latifas försvinnande skakas Dubais kungafamilj av ännu en skandal, när emirens hustru, prinsessan Haya, rymmer med deras två barn.P3 ID om prinsessan Latifa är en historia om franska ex-spioner, undervattensfarkoster, capoeira och fallskärmshoppning och mycket mer.Medverkar i avsnittet gör Tiina Jauhiainen, vän till Latifa och med under flyktförsöket, och Amal Aziz, Mellanösternkännare.Avsnittet gjordes av Studio Olga hösten 2022.Programledare: Vendela LundbergAvsnittsförfattare och reporter: Patrick StaneliusProducent: Vendela LundbergLjudmix: Fredrik NilssonLjudklippen i avsnittet är hämtade från: Sveriges Radio, BBC, Nine Network, RTE, ITV, Dubai Women Establishment, Instagram, Youtube.Boken "My story" av shejk Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum har också varit till hjälp under arbetet med det här avsnittet.

  Cass is a modern soul singer with a sound that embodies old-school cool with bold sexy optimism. Her sound takes its cue from a vintage sonic swagger a-la Amy Winehouse, but she'd be just as much at home drinking martinis with Andra Day, Brittany Howard and Nancy Sinatra at her favourite lounge bar in LA.Cass's soul-leaning, sun-seeking songs remind you that if the champagne glass isn't already full,then it's at least half-full (and definitely never empty). Her signature chocolate-coated vocals are drenched in a feel-good vibe, and her megawatt smile and natural charisma draw you in with gravitational force.It isn't just Cass' new single “The Way I Feel About You” and its crowd-sourced video that have captured the imagination of her fans and industry. Cass's acclaimed last single “Ain't No Stopping Me '' hit over 1.7M streams on a recent US Hyundai commercial. Her music has also been featured on a US McDonalds ad, as well as multiple TV shows on Amazon Prime, Nine Network, and the E channel. So strap up your seatbelts, and let's take a ride to Australia by way of LA California on this episode of the dHarmic Evolution podcast. As a Preview In this episode, we have soulful singer Cass Eager discuss her two latest singles and a behind the scenes of “the way I feel about you”.

We also talk about pushing ourselves when we have a supporter, a producer like Billy Elfer. Trust us, this episode is definitely one of a kind. Wanna know the Australian word for hiking?

Berättelsen om den skandalomsusade kronprinsen som växte upp i skuggan av en älskad kung, och som blev historiskt impopulär när han själv tog över tronen av Thailand. Våren 2020 skakas Thailands huvudstad Bangkok av demonstrationer. Demonstranterna uttrycker sitt missnöje mot den sittande regeringen. Men de kraftiga protesterna innebär också ett nytt kapitel i Thailands historia. Trots att landets hårda majestätslagar innebär fängelse för den som uttalar sig negativt om kungafamiljen så riktas nu kritik och ilska öppet mot kungahuset. Anledningen stavas Maha Vajiralongkorn, eller Rama X, landets regent som tog över efter sin pappa, den omtyckte kung Bhumibol år 2016. Rama X är utbildad stridspilot och beryktad tjejtjusare. Han har anklagats för att hellre vistas på ett lyxhotell i södra Tyskland, omgiven av vackra kvinnor, än att synas och bry sig om folket i sitt hemland. Och på kort tid har han lyckats rasera sin pappa kung Bhumibols eftermäle. Det här är den, för många, okända berättelsen om ett land vars stormiga moderna historia går stick i stäv med bilden av ett sorglöst semesterparadis. I avsnittet medverkar:Karin Zackari, doktor i mänskliga rättigheter och expert på Thailands historia Andrew MacGregor Marshall, journalist och författare Avsnittet gjordes av Studio Olga sommaren 2022. Programledare: Vendela Lundberg Avsnittsmakare och reporter: Patrick Stanelius och Sally Henriksson Ljudmix: Fredrik Nilsson Klippen är hämtade från Sveriges Radio, France 24, The New York Times, Nine Network, Al Jazeera, Channel 4, CNA, Bloomberg, BBC, Thai PBS World, AP, VOA Böckerna "A kingdom in crisis" och "The king never smiles" har varit till extra stor hjälp under researcharbetet

For the 2-year anniversary of the Ethical Rainmaker and Community-Centric Fundraising (CCF), Michelle sits with Rachel D'Souza Siebert and Henry Ramos to discuss where CCF is at today … and why it's making itself at home because it's here to stay.
