Just last week, on the Seventh of November the new Treaty Principles Bill was announced in parliament. The development of the bill excluded any consultation with Maori and does not reflect the texts or meaning of Te Tiriti, according to the Waitangi Tribunal.

Hikoi protesting the bill began three days ago and has moved from Cape Reinga to Northcote and Bastion Point today, with its eventual goal to protest at parliament on the 19th. The first reading occurs this week in parliament, afterwards being sent to the select committee for a six-month hearing process.

In November 2023, a unique event occured. Eight gamelan groups - Gamelan DanAnda, Kacapi Suling Melbourne, Mahindra Bali Gamelan, Melbourne Community Gamelan, Mugi Rahayu, Putra Panji Asmara, Talo Balak, Selonding Sapta Nugraha - came together to perform at a small church in Northcote, a suburb in North Melbourne. The gathering was dedicated to the memory of Pak Poedijono, a master Javanese dhalang (puppeteer), musician, dancer and gamelan teacher. He taught in Australia for over 45 years and sadly passed away on the 30th of January 2021. In this episode of Talking Indonesia, Tito Ambyo chats with the people who organised this gathering: John Cheong-Holdaway, an Australian gamelan musician; Eka Poedijono, daughter of the late Pak Poedijono; and Jocelyn Tribe, a biracial artist who connected with her Indonesian ancestry later in life. We spoke about many things, including the difference between gamelan and other types of music, the role of gamelan beyond musical performance, and what it's like to be a part of the gamelan music scene in a city like Melbourne. We also touched on a range of artists and gamelan groups, like Ria Soemardjo, Peni Candra Rini, Gamelan DanAnda, Bli Putu Septa, Desak Putu Warti and Sanggar Lestari. In 2024, the Talking Indonesia podcast is co-hosted by Tito Ambyo from RMIT, Dr Elisabeth Kramer from the University of New South Wales, Dr Jemma Purdey from Monash University and Dr Jacqui Baker from Murdoch University.

Shane Reti has set a timeframe of 2030 to reach his five health targets but there's concern this will be too little too late.  The Health Minister's targets aim to address areas such as cancer treatment, child immunisation, and ED wait times.  He's faced criticism across the House and from health authorities about not setting any targets related to primary care.   Northcote A&E Medical Director Peter Boot told Mike Hosking that primary care is the base of the whole system and it's completely disintegrating.  Therefore, he says, it all comes tumbling down.   Boot says you can put any amount of money into the top storey, but it's no use unless you look after the bottom storey.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We also witnessed a lot of fear-driven property dumping and buying.  The fear of construction costs and uncertainty surrounding the market led many to make hasty decisions. While it's natural to be cautious and reactive when our pockets are at stake, it's essential to approach the market with a level head. When evaluating investment opportunities, consider the potential for reasonable interest rates and the specifics of each project.  The desire for more has influenced the property market, creating a demand for increasingly extravagant design choices resulting in inflated construction costs. Gone are the days of simple kitchen joinery and functional vanities. We now face the challenge of integrating numerous joinery elements throughout our homes, driving up costs and pushing the boundaries of functionality. By critically assessing our needs, wants, and future goals, we can design homes that strike the right balance. It's essential to avoid falling into the trap of unnecessary expense and prioritize functional design that aligns with our budgets. For me, this year has been one of significant personal and professional changes. As my family and I embraced the country life, we sold our beloved family home in Northcote and settled on 20 acres in Panton Hill. Additionally, we acquired a winery in Gippsland and embarked on transforming it into a remarkable space.  These changes have highlighted the importance of connection and appreciation. I've realized the value of working alongside my husband, John, and the joy of creating a community of like-minded individuals. The trials and triumphs of our various projects have shaped me and strengthened my resolve. Join us as we forge ahead into 2024, armed with the lessons learned from this transformative year. Let us celebrate the progress we've made and look forward to the limitless possibilities that lie ahead.   LINKS:  Buy our book: BuildHer, A practical guide to building and renovating BuildHer Website: https://buildhercollective.com.au/ BuildHer Instagram: @buildhercollective BuildHer Facebook: Women who Design, Decorate, Renovate & Build Register for a call: https://go.oncehub.com/BuildHer  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dive deep into the heart of the music industry with another enriching episode of "Industry Icons" on Triple M Homegrown. Host Matty O invites Michael Parisi, an industry veteran and host of the new podcast 'Vinyl Tap,' to demystify the complexities of today's ever-changing music landscape. The Backstory Michael Parisi's journey started at the promotions department of Warner Bros. in the early '90s, where he laid the groundwork for what would become a star-studded career. Listen as he takes you back to his early days of orchestrating promo gigs for the legendary Red Hot Chili Peppers on their seminal album, "Blood Sugar Sex Magik." Michael reminisces about his youthful excitement and the challenges of dealing with larger-than-life personalities like Flea and Anthony Kiedis. He even spills a bit of tea on a few borderline-outrageous stories that will make you wish you had backstage access back then. A 30-Year Perspective Fast forward to 2023, and Michael has an established legacy in marketing and A&R positions. He reflects on how the industry has evolved over the last three decades, focusing on the shift in emphasis away from live music and stage performances for budding artists. Michael passionately argues that if you can't command a live audience, your chances of making it big are slim. He elaborates on this by discussing what it truly takes to capture attention in today's digital-first era. The Current State of the Industry It's a different ballgame for emerging artists today. Michael details the unique challenges that artists now face, from navigating social media algorithms to understanding streaming metrics. However, his fundamental advice remains the same: maximum stage time and self-promotion are crucial. "It's your job to build an audience no matter how. If it's playing 50 dodgy acoustic gigs on a Tuesday night in Wesleyanne in Northcote, then so be it," he advises. Stories and Anecdotes Fans of Australian band Regurgitator will be riveted by Michael's experiences dealing with their enigmatic frontman, Quan, whose unconventional approaches to the industry have shocked him time and time again. Plus, don't miss the jaw-dropping backstage stories of playing pool with rock legends like The Rolling Stones and Rage Against the Machine. A Game to Remember To round off the episode, Michael plays an entertaining game of 'Write, Party, Dinner' featuring Aerosmith, Bruce Springsteen, and Oasis. Who would he choose to manage, party with, and invite over for dinner? His answers might just surprise you. This comprehensive episode is not only a walk down memory lane but also a practical guidebook for anyone aspiring to carve a niche in the world of music. Tune in for an experience filled with invaluable lessons, industry secrets, and untold stories that only a seasoned professional like Michael Parisi can provide.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tyler Cassidy was a troubled kid. Police officers Colin Dods and Richie Blundell were working an afternoon shift in the Northcote divisional van. Their lives would collide on a balmy summer evening in late 2008 at a Northcote skate park. A distraught Cassidy, 15, was in no mood to negotiate with the officers. He refused to drop two knives and kept approaching Dods. He was shot six times, and died at the scene. The police involved lived for years with allegations that it was their fault. Vindicated in the Coroners Court of Victoria, they tell John Silvester their story.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

My guest today is Sara Jade, owner and founder of SJ&Co, a boutique hair salon in Northcote, Melbourne. Having been in business for 15 years, Sara Jade has so much insight and wisdom when it comes to business. She has taken her salon to the next level by reimagining, simplifying, downsizing and getting really clear on what she wants. LETTING GO OF HER EGO TO MAXIMISE HER HAPPINESSAt the peak of her business, SJ&Co had 14 staff but Sara Jade was constantly drowning in debt from paying wages and the cost of product wastage. With the help of a business coach, Sara Jade stepped back to analyse her business and realised that the biggest thing to let go of was her ego. Once she let go of the need to prove that she was successful, Sara Jade was able to completely simplify her business down to two staff, putting her back on the tools and doing what she loves most. By taking away everything that wasn't working, what remains now for Sara Jade is a thriving, simplified business and life. A REMINDER OF CONNECTION OVER PERFECTIONNot only is she my hairdresser, but Sara Jade is also a member of the Modern Marketing Collective. Sara shares how diligently working through the modules gave her the confidence to back herself and focus on connection with her clients instead of trying to do everything she thought she had to do. INTENTIONAL DECISIONS AND TAKING RISKSA hair salon is quite a traditional business, so when Sara Jade decided to replace the receptionist role with her own app, it came as a surprise to a few customers. But, Sara Jade knew that the most important thing was to serve her ideal clients in the best possible way. A lot of Sara Jade's clientele are busy CEOs and CFOs so she opened her books to accommodate early morning appointments and made booking simple. She also created an account with two local cafes so clients can pre-order a coffee instead of her having to spend precious time in the kitchen. Another huge change Sara Jade made to her business was removing apprentices and focusing on colours and no longer prioritising cuts. These creative changes were risky for the industry, but this iteration of the salon has not only simplified Sara Jade's life but also enables her to provide an amazing service to her clientele. YOUR BUSINESS ISN'T FOR EVERYONE…AND THAT'S OKAY!If you're a business owner and thinking about downsizing or simplifying your business, you might have some fears or concerns around how to go about it. And perhaps you're wondering if people would respond well to the changes that you make. The truth is, your business isn't for everyone and that's okay! One thing Sarah Jade has done so well is understanding what works best for her and implementing some really creative and somewhat drastic changes to her business to make it work. When you service your people, you attract more of your people and that's how you build your brand.  Connect with Sarah Jade:Website: https://sjandco.com.au/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sjandco.au/Join me for my Instagram Workshop on 9th Mayhttps://emilyosmond.com/workshopJoin The Modern Marketing Collective to get booked out with clients: emilyosmond.com/collectiveDiscover your Marketing Personality Type in my free quiz, plus the specific resources to maximise your specific superpower! www.emilyosmond.com/superpowerFree Online Class: The 3 steps to turn your followers into clientsWebsite: https://emilyosmond.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emilyosmond/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/emilyclareosmond

Brickett Bottom by Amyas Northcote is about a mysterious house deep in the woods that no one but lonely young girls can see. There is a dark secret to this house in the forest, as you will discover.Amyas Northcote was the son of an English aristocratic family. This story was published in his one collection of ghost stories: "Ghostly Company". Though it was published in 1921, I think there is something genuinely eerie and even scary about the fate of the girl.Northcote has been compared to M R James but this story reminded me more of Arthur Machen and Algernon Blackwood's The Man Whom The Trees Loved.Brickett Bottom by Amyas NorthcoteJay Rothermel's blog Easily DistractedBuy Dracula Audiobook for DownloadBuy it directly from me at a knockdown price £4.99.https://ko-fi.com/s/a7a5c648b8If You Appreciate The Work I've Put In HereBuy me a coffee at https://ko-fi.com/tonywalker,or join as a Patron for members only stories for $5 a month:https://www.patreon.com/barcudSubscribe to my Haunted Place channel hereBefore you continue to YouTubeSupport the show

Julia Jacklin - "Lydia Wears A Cross" from the 2022 album Pre Pleasure on Polyvinyl. Four years after charming the socks off of us with her 2018 record Crushing, Julia Jacklin is finally releasing its anticipated follow-up. Titled Pre Pleasure, the record was conceived upon returning home at the end of a mammoth Crushing world tour and finished in a frantic few months of recording in Montreal. Our Song of the Day is the lead single and opening track off the record, “Lydia Wears a Cross.” Harkening back to her Catholic upbringing, a young Jacklin struggles with an understanding of what she's being fed while deeply enjoying the pageantry of the church. “I'd be a believer /If it was all just song and dance,” she sings on the chorus. In a statement, Jacklin describes the song like this: “The song is about a lot of things but mainly being a 7yr old Jesus Christ superstar fanatic attending catholic school trying to figure out which way is up. The music video was filmed by my constant collaborator and friend Nick Mckk at Splitpoint lighthouse. I played a show close by recently and asked on stage if anyone could let me film inside. Someone in the crowd knew a guy and that was it. The rest was filmed in the streets of Northcote, Melbourne.” Pre Pleasure was recorded in Montreal with co-producer Marcus Paquin (The Weather Station, The National) and finds Jacklin teamed with her Canada-based touring band, bassist Ben Whiteley and guitarist Will Kidman, both of Canadian folk outfit The Weather Station. It also introduces drummer Laurie Torres, saxophonist Adam Kinner and string arrangements by Owen Pallett (Arcade Fire) recorded by a full orchestra in Prague. Jacklin will be embarking on a US tour this August, with a date in Seattle on Friday, September 30th at the Crocodile. Watch her incredible KEXP in-studio performance from 2019 at the link below.
