To break down the recent news that Melbourne University Press is closing Meanjin, Australia’s second-oldest literary journal, Holly explains why this is about much more than just finances or literary snobbery. A major conversation is unfolding in New South Wales following the state’s first drug summit in 25 years, with growing calls to reform driving laws for medical cannabis users. To unpack the issue, MP Alex Greenwich joined hosts Holly and Eva on the show. The theme of this year's National Child Protection Week, was “shifting conversation into action.” One conversation gaining momentum is the Albanese government’s social media ban for under-16s, aimed at protecting kids online. Discussing the proposal and its potential impact, senior lecturer in digital and social media at UTS, Paul Byron, joined the show. The long-running debate over shark nets has reignited after a fatal shark attack on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. In response, the NSW government has paused a planned trial to remove nets from certain beaches. To explore the controversy and whether shark nets really keep swimmers safe, our producer Olivia takes a closer look. This episode of Backchat was hosted by Holly Payne and Eva Sikes-Gerogiannis, and produced by Bec Cushway, Holly Payne, Elise Papaioannou, Jaspar McCahon-Boersma and Olivia Nunes-Malek. Executive Produced by Rebecca Cushway. Aired 13 September on Gadigal Land. Want to support our show?

In 2021, a neatly dressed man in his 60s walks into a Sydney Police Station. He looks like a regular guy. But police are stunned - this isn’t just any man. It’s Darko Desic. A fugitive who escaped from Grafton Prison with a hacksaw and bolt cutters three decades earlier. A man who was a prolific weed grower. A man who lived in hiding for 30 years - right under the noses of the police. How did he do it? How did he evade capture for so long? And why, after all that time, did he finally give himself up?

Ok, so I will admit, as an Aussie that grew up in the UK that is constantly chasing the sunshine for my boating, Scotland would not be the first place I would think of to go boating. But then I tried it. And what a glorious boating experience it was. You see, my dear friend Ashlee and her husband Mike own a Freedom Boat Club on Loch Lomond in Scotland and on a recent trip to the other side of the world we decided to add their location to our itinerary of boating industry visits and we discovered what an amazing place it was. Loch Lomond has some 35 places to stop off and enjoy something to drink or eat or an activity to participate in so it in fact lends itself beautifully to the Freedom Boat Club model. So what is Freedom Boat Club and why did Ashlee and Mike decide to open one? Freedom Boat Club is now a division of Brunswick since they acquired the brand in 2019. It makes perfect sense for a boat manufacturer to acquire a Boat Club Franchise brand after all it secures boat sales of their boats but also is a way that curious people that would like to get into boating but literally have no idea how to do so, are brought into boating experiences in the easiest and most risk averse way and may well at some point convert to owners. The model includes boats that are new or almost new, training, check in and checkout procedures each use and a joining fee and monthly fee rather than an outright boat purchase or having to have a boat sitting on the driveway and fighting for usage rights at the Boat Ramp with other boat owners. Ashlee clearly got into it, and you will hear this in her voice, because she believed more people should be boating and that indeed SHE should be doing MORE boating. Having a club like this literally forces you to: Go boating taking prospective clients out and in events Spend time getting boats ready and taking care of them Mixing with people that love boating And as a mum – it exposes her kids to not only the world of boating but the world of running your own business. So I hope you enjoy my chat with Ashlee. She will reveal some of the challenges of mixing motherhood and business and her strategies for handling that (this is not their only business) and what boating really is like in this stunning part of the world. We are Freedom Boat Club Owners in Australia too at our fabulous Empire Marina locations at Empire Marina Bobbin Head and Empire Marina Lake Macquarie and in Pittwater too – so if you live in Sydney, Northern Beaches, Central Coast, Sydney's North Shore, Lake Macquarie or Newcastle and would like to dip your toes into boating or maybe you've sold your boat and wish you hadn't or you've got a busy family life and would still like to boat but don't have time to even think about the boat let alone care for it, then get in touch.

In this energetic and relatable conversation, the hosts reflect on the common sentiment of seeing others succeed in property investment and thinking, “Must be nice.” They aim to show that this level of success is achievable with the right mindset and strategy. The key lies in positioning yourself to act quickly on good opportunities, understanding vendor needs, targeting growth areas, and implementing value-adding tactics like cosmetic renovations or smart upgrades. They emphasize that belief in oneself is crucial—real estate isn't about physical labor but rather moving the right pieces, much like a game of chess. Building a support team (the “property team”) of emotionally and practically supportive people like brokers, solicitors, family, and mentors is just as essential as financial planning.They illustrate these principles with a real-life case study of a compact 50-square-meter apartment purchased for just over $600,000. By making simple changes—such as adding a cavity sliding door to create an extra bedroom and repositioning access to the bathroom—the buyer could increase the property's value by up to $100,000 with just a $10,000 investment. They highlight how small structural tweaks or thoughtful use of existing plumbing (like adding a laundry or second toilet) can greatly boost resale value. The discussion concludes with a reminder that these strategies aren't just for seasoned investors—anyone with the right guidance and initiative can apply them and benefit.

The property market landscape across Sydney's Northern Beaches has undergone significant shifts in the first half of 2025, presenting both challenges and opportunities for buyers and sellers alike. What started as a rocky period has gradually stabilised, creating a unique market environment characterised by reduced stock levels and heightened buyer activity.With approximately 640-650 properties currently listed across the Northern Beaches—well below the typical 850—we're witnessing a fascinating market dynamic where quality properties are quickly snapped up while less desirable offerings linger. This dichotomy has fuelled a competitive buyer landscape, particularly for homes that tick the three essential boxes: proximity to water, convenient access to shops, and good transport connections.The buyer demographic has diversified remarkably this year. First-home buyers dominate the entry-level market, often purchasing with partners to strengthen their loan applications or receiving parental assistance. Meanwhile, downsizers seeking luxury properties with specific features like lifts and low-maintenance yards represent another significant buying force. Perhaps most notably, we're observing the return of investors to the market despite the April legislation preventing overseas investors from purchasing Australian property.Interest rates have emerged as the primary market driver, with each 0.25% cut increasing borrowing capacity by an impressive 7-10%. With predictions of rates reaching 3.1% by June 2026, buyers are rushing to enter the market before potential price increases follow the expanded borrowing capacity. This has created a compelling opportunity for sellers who choose to list now rather than waiting for spring—a strategy we describe as "selling in isolation rather than competition."Got questions about timing your next property move in the Northern Beaches?

A stunning example of European craftsmanship has changed hands in one of Collaroy's most sought-after streets. The recent $3.3 million sale of 19 Coutts Crescent reveals what savvy buyers are willing to pay for solid construction, versatile living spaces, and prime Northern Beaches positioning.Built by a European bricklayer and his family in the 1970s, this double-brick home showcases exceptional workmanship that would cost a fortune to replicate today. We explore the charming details that captivated the new owners - from the impressive 21-metre frontage on a level block (a rarity in this street where many homes are built into the hillside), to the surprising discovery of a bone-dry basement complete with five wine barrels. The original wood-fired pizza oven and custom salami-making shed in the backyard speak to the home's European heritage and family-centered design.While the interior remained largely original, requiring comprehensive renovation, the property's approved dual living configuration proved irresistible. With four bedrooms upstairs and a separate two-bedroom apartment downstairs, this versatile floor plan offers rental potential of approximately $2,000-$2,200 weekly or accommodates extended family living. The new owners recognized the value proposition immediately, appreciating how the home could evolve with their family's changing needs over time.The quick two-week sale highlights the premium buyers place on quiet, family-friendly streets where properties rarely become available. Located just minutes from beaches, rock pools and shopping centres, yet offering the tranquility of a street where children can safely play outdoors, this property represents both current lifestyle value and future potential. With renovated homes in the area fetching upwards of $4 million, this transaction demonstrates the continuing appeal of solid, character-filled homes with good bones in premium locations.

The commercial office market took an unprecedented hit during COVID, with property values on Sydney's Northern Beaches plummeting by a staggering 70-80%. This frank discussion strips away the usual real estate optimism to examine what became Australia's worst-performing asset class.We explore the fascinating divide between property owner responses during the crisis. Investors with multiple leveraged properties resisted rent reductions to protect valuations, while long-term owners pragmatically accepted 50-70% lower rents just to maintain cash flow. This critical decision point highlights the tension between short-term income and long-term asset value preservation. Smart landlords limited lease terms to 1-2 years, avoiding locking in pandemic-era rates for extended periods.The remarkable recovery of office properties challenges early pandemic predictions. Despite dire forecasts about remote work permanently destroying office demand, most buildings have rebounded to within 10% of pre-COVID values in just three years. Premium sites like Brookvale's Lifestyle Building have even exceeded previous benchmarks, with office rates surpassing retail and approaching industrial values. This resilience reveals a fundamental truth: after the novelty wore off, both employers and employees recognised the irreplaceable value of face-to-face collaboration.Looking forward, the market shows clear winners and strugglers. Industrial properties, particularly storage with generous clearance heights, continue their strong performance. Meanwhile, tenanted retail shops face significant headwinds with owners seeking 6% yields while buyers face 8% mortgage rates. For investors ready to act, understanding these divergent trajectories could mean the difference between extraordinary returns and painful losses in Sydney's evolving commercial property landscape.

Ready to challenge everything you thought you knew about selling property? Forget what your friends have told you about waiting for spring – we're breaking down the real estate myths that could be costing you thousands.In this eye-opening discussion, Mark and Lisa Novak tackle the persistent belief that property should only be sold when gardens are blooming and the sun is shining. The reality? Weather has absolutely nothing to do with property prices. What actually matters is supply and demand – and right now, supply across the Northern Beaches sits at just 630 properties, creating the perfect seller's market.We reveal why selling in isolation rather than competition gives you the upper hand, and why waiting for spring means competing with hundreds of other listings. With buyers already lining up at open homes (26 groups at a recent inspection!) and days on market halving in recent weeks, the current conditions are prime for sellers who want maximum visibility and premium results.The podcast also unpacks why interest rate cuts expected in coming months are already influencing buyer behavior, how global uncertainty typically drives investors toward tangible assets like property, and the dangers of creating a negative digital footprint by listing now and withdrawing to wait for spring.For those considering a strategic move, we share insights on our zero-dollar pre-market strategy that allows you to test the waters without commitment, plus expert advice on why the unit market is predicted to "go off like a pork chop" for the next 36 months.Don't follow the herd mentality – listen now to discover why the best time to sell might be right now, not when everyone else thinks it is.

This week Nicola and Di chat with the incredibly talented Rob Carlton. Rob is an award-winning actor, writer, director and an all-round brilliant storyteller, who grew up near Nicola and Di’s backfence on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. He’s been in so many memorable shows which you may have seen, including A Country Practice, Underbelly, Paper Giants, Black Snow, Boy Swallows Universe and The White Lotus, to name just a few. He also hosts Bravewords Live, with his wife Adrienne Ferreira, an event which brings wildly entertaining true stories to the stage. Bravewords Live has been such a success over the years, that they’ve now decided to bring these incredible stories to you with the Bravewords Podcast, which will be launching at the end of the month. In this episode we get all The White Lotus goss from Rob. He shares how secretive it was from the very beginning, when he first received the script to audition for ‘The Secret Garden’. He talks about how much mystery there was surrounding the show, from the script to the filming locations, and how great it was to be a part of the show. He talks about the fun the cast had on set, the friendships he made, the sketchy past of the superyacht they were filming on, and what it was like working with Mike White. Rob also give us such a great take on why he thinks The White Lotus became such a huge hit, and the Mike White magic that lies at the heart of this show. We also hear what it was like to become Kerry Packer, for his Logie award-winning performance in Paper Giants. Rob shares such an honest story of how he almost lost the opportunity before he even had the role, because of the way he was being driven by fear and self-sabotage. As well as his wonderful work in TV, we chat to Rob about Bravewords - his live storytelling events that he hosts with his wife Adrienne. The next one is coming up on June 29th at Avoca Beach Theatre with Larry Emdur. The good news is, over the years they’ve curated hundreds of brilliant true stories, and are about to release this as the Bravewords Podcast in the coming weeks. And it’s not all career chat in this episode with Rob. He also opens up about his family relationships - the magnificent lessons from his parents, what makes his marriage work, the power of having difficult conversations and the way that he tries to parent his 21-year-old twin boys. This is such a beautiful and rich conversation with Rob, and we hope you love it as much as we did.
