Thousands of dead fish are washing up on the shores of coastal and riverside towns of Northern New South Wales. Flathead, bream, whiting, and schooling prawns have died in a devastating fish kill in the aftermath of Tropical Cyclone Alfred. The fish are dying as a result of a lack of oxygen in the water. Rural Reporter Dusty Fitzpatrick spoke with Ballina local Stan Golding about how locals are feeling.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred has wreaked havoc across South-East Queensland and Northern New South Wales, but the worst has past and clear sky are on the horizon. That means the clean up will begin and so will the restocking of supermarket shelves, but how long will it take for shops to refill all their empty aisles. Fleur Brown from the Australian Retailers Association told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "The supermarkets in particular are absolutely working around the clock on solving the problem." "There's just some factors outside of their control that they can't force staff to come in when they may have transport safety issues or they may have their own property damage or childcare constraints, so that's another factor in all of this," Fleur Brown said.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Are you looking for the current cost of renovating or building a new house in Brisbane, South East Qld or Northern NSW, Australia in 2024? In this episode you'll find out the current square meter rates for new custom construction. I talk to a building cost estimator and find out the cost of house construction in 2024 and what's forecast to happen in 2025.If this is your first episode, I recommend you go back and listen from the beginning of the season because everything builds on the episode before. At the very least, please listen to Episode 4. What are square metre rates? so you understand what they are and most importantly, when they're used by inexperienced people, they can lead to very inaccurate results!The information covered in this episode on current square metre rates is for education only.I'll be talking to building cost estimator David Knight from Total Estimating Services in Brisbane.INTERVIEW QUESTIONS00:00 Introduction01:30 How much does it cost to renovate or build a new house in Brisbane in 2024?05:55 What are square metre rates?07:23 What is the difference in build quality between lower and higher cost houses?12:07 How much does it cost to renovate or build a new house in South East Queensland and Northern New South Wales in 2024?14:15 What influences are affecting building costs?16:02 Can you suggest any ways to keep costs down?20:43 What materials have increased in cost in recent times?21:33 Is it more cost effective to renovate, or demolish and build a new house?24:35 How much cost do environmental initiatives add: Passiv Haus, double glazing, three phase power, solar ? 25:22 Are you seeing more environmental initiatives incorporated in houses in 2024?27:27 What cost escalation are you expecting into 2025?30:01 Key Points SummaryKEY POINTS SUMMARYWe covered so much information in this episode, but I just want to draw your attention to three main points.1. The first point was the wide range of costs to build custom, mid-range quality houses in the current market, which varied from around $3,000 up to over $6,000 per square metre.I predominantly work on residential renovations two storeys in inner Brisbane, which is quite sloped. So the fact that you could build on a flat block, a single story building for so much less, was quite a surprise to me.It was important to note what did make those renovations in inner Brisbane to older houses so much more expensive that everything is custom. Every bit of timber has to be custom cut. Everything has to fit in unusual sizes for houses out of square and that's what adds to those prices compared to the new single level building on a flat site.2. The second point to make is that there's no easy way to get costs down. There's never one or two big items that you can just take out of a job and save those costs. Costs are always spread across the entire project, so you really have to go through everything and take out little bits through the entire job.A better way to deal with this is when you're designing and as you go through and you choose each item, make sure you choose an item that's within your...

Steven and Evan Strong are trying to share our understanding of Ancient Australia as having a rich past that started long ago. Australia has been visited in the past by the Ancient Egyptians, Phoenicians, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, etc., along with the distinct possibility of an even more ancient Extra-terrestrial presence. We are trying to change the worldview of Australia (Ab)Original people and culture and their effect upon human development and civilisation under continual consultation with Original Elders throughout Australia we present this information under the banner of Wirritjin (Ramindjeri term meaning: Black-fella White-fella Dreaming).Steven and Evan have co-written a series of books; "Constructing a New World Map", "Mary Magdalene's Dreaming", and "Forgotten Origin" for the University Press of America. Both “Shunned” published by Possible Press, and the eBook “Ancient Aliens in Australia: Forgotten Origins of Humanity” co-written with Daniella Cardenas & Bruce Fenton, will be released soon.Steven Strong is a secondary school teacher with a background in Archaeology and Education.

On today's show, Geoffrey Benn discusses the recent discovery of the remains of WWI Australian soldiers. GUEST 1 OVERVIEW: Geoffrey Benn is the President of the Fromelles Association of Australia and is author of the book Fromelles: 100 Years of Myths and Lies. He grew up on a farm in Northern New South Wales with the knowledge that his forebears served in Australia's Army armed forces in both World War I and his father in World War II. Geoffrey served himself in the Australian Army Reserve in infantry and signals units. He graduated with a Bachelor of Laws and served for 14 years in the courts and later in private suburban law practice. His website is http://www.fromelles.info/ GUEST 2 OVERVIEW: Bernie Finn was the most vocal conservative in the Victorian Parliament. A 23 year parliamentary veteran, Bernie was a beacon for traditional Liberal values - values not held by the party leadership. As a result of his strong stance on a number of issues, he was expelled from the parliamentary Liberal Party a little over 12 months ago. He subsequently joined the Democratic Labour Party and led it into the election last November. In an electorate over half a million, he missed out by just 210 votes. He hasn't backed away from promoting his views and is followed daily by almost 41,000 on Facebook.
Steven Strong: is a secondary school teacher with a background in Archaeology and Education. He was involved in the formation of a Graduate Diploma of Aboriginal Education for the N.S.W. Department of Education, writing units on Traditional Law and Contemporary History. He also co-authored the highly successful “Aboriginal Australia: A Language and Cultural kit”. Evan Strong: has a background in Anthropology & Indigenous Cultural Studies, Counselling & Mediation with a Bachelor's Degree in Social Sciences and Graduate Studies in Psychology. Evan has worked as a researcher for the Northern Rivers Area Health Service, a Social Worker, Teachers Aide, and a Funeral Director. They have spent many years learning, living and/or working with the Bundjalung Language Confederation (Northern Rivers Region of New South Wales), Ramindjeri (South Australia) and Gumilaroi peoples (Northern New South Wales). They operate under the doctrine of Wirritjin (Black Fella, White Fella Dreaming): In remembrance of Karno W…., spokesperson for the Ramindjeri. They work with a diverse informal network of Independent Researchers, Original Custodians/Elders, Patrons/Supporters and Friends. In consultation with Elders of Australia, we believe we have rediscovered a hidden history: The Out of Australia Theory. We have written five books “Constructing a New World Map”, “Mary Magdalene's Dreaming”, “Forgotten Origin“, “Shunned”/”Out of Australia” and “Between A Rock and a Hard Place” that rewrites the history of Australia and the world. Our books' main brief is to prove through the scientific fact that which the Elders insist is true. We have assembled facts about archaeological finds, and also early contact accounts, genetics, Serpent myths, Dreaming stories, Amerindian myths, parallels in religious texts, etc into one coherent theory. Unlike the authorities in one field who are limited in their specialty, we draw all the disciplines together and attempt to resolve the confusion. Our claim is supported by genes, mtDNA, blood and many experts, that Australian Original people set sail from Australia, not to, 50,000 years ago. We claim that Australian Original people sailed to and settled in America over 40,000 years ago, and visited many other places including Egypt, Japan, Africa, India etc. They were the first Homo sapiens who evolved before the Sapiens of Africa, and who gave the world art, axes, religion, marine technology, culture, co-operative living, language and surgery. The debate over whether they were the first people in America is virtually a closed case. Hundreds of bones and skulls have been discovered that are undeniable of “Australian Aboriginal” origin. What it all means has had even the experts mystified. Professor Clive Gamble claims we “have to construct a completely new map of the world, and how it was peopled.” We are responding to the call and attempting to clear up the confusion. We also trace the legacy of the Australian Original Dreaming found within the mystical sects and creeds. We believe its principal elements are evident in all expressions, particularly Gnosticism.

We recently launched a three-episode deep dive into the future of risk and insurance in agriculture. Over the course of the series, we heard from one listener who offered to share his experience using novel insurance products to manage the risks of both too little and too much rainfall in his own farming operation. This from-the-field perspective was packed with insights, and was such a powerful contribution to our learning that we asked his permission to use the audio for this episode.Tom Ferguson is a farmer in Northern New South Wales, Australia, and this week you'll hear a conversation between him and Tenacious Ventures Co-Founder Matthew Pryor. They speak about:Tom's specific exposure to climate-risk, and why this has led to him exploring new options for insuranceHis process for collecting data, identifying high-impact risks to hedge against, and using this data to strike tailored, parametric policies with insurersWhat the impact of using more data on the farm can be for new insurance products, and what's holding back the integrationHis adoption of new agtech on the farm, and what factors enabled or inhibited uptake within the business.For more information and resources, visit our website.

Ever increasing record high flood levels are marked on the side of Lismore's flood levee. Lismore, a town in Northern New South Wales is dissected by two major rivers. When there's heavy rainfall, water flows down from the surrounding hills, slowing at the bottom and spreading across the floodplain. The town's residents know floods, their houses are built high, some four metres off the ground in the canopies of trees. Many have flood plans, keeping kayaks and dinghies tethered to their homes in case of emergency. On February 27 2022, water inundated the town, sweeping away cars, stranding residents on rooftops and filling houses with inches of mud. In the weeks that followed volunteer hubs sprang up to feed and clothe locals forced to shelter in tents and cars as they struggle to recover with minimal support and start to clean out and rebuild their homes in the trees.

The floods in Southern Queensland and Northern New South Wales have left devastation in their wake. The true impact is yet to be determined, but it has been life altering for so many. Pip Sumbak (Pip's Plate) was only 4 days into her first solo business as a caterer when the floods hit northern New south Wales. Together with a food colleague they set about trying to feed everyone who had lost everything. Within two weeks, thanks to a band of volunteers and the generosity of producers and suppliers they dished up more than $150,000 meals and helped formed the heart of the community. We caught up with Pip to see the impact and what it will take on the long road to recovery for an entire region destroyed by floods.https://www.pipsplate.com.auFollow Deep In The Weeds on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/deepintheweedspodcast/?hl=enFollow Huckhttps://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer)https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTShttps://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork
Last week I was impacted by the devastating floods in Northern New South Wales. Whilst returning home, I became stuck on a flooded highway for the night sheltering in a tunnel with many other people. My anxiety over the work I was meant to be doing was making me feel sick. Then our internet and phone services went down in my region for 5 days. It became impossible to conduct any work and I was constantly worried about not being able to get anything done in my business. In this episode, I'm sharing 7 business lessons I learned from a natural disaster. This experience has led me to reflect on how I work in my business and how I can improve it so I don't feel sick when I'm unable to do it myself. There has to be a contingency system. So I created a business continuity plan. This document is essential for your business as it outlines the specifics of how your business will continue to operate in an emergency situation. I encourage you to think about what will be relevant for your business and use the lessons I've learned to get you started. We hope we'll never need it but you'll feel immensely reassured if you do. You can then place all of your focus on the emergency and not have to worry about what is (or isn't) happening in your business.

This week we are rebroadcasting our interview with Ella Noah Bancroft, originally aired in March of 2021. “We forget that so much is given freely, that this world is meant to be enjoyed.” We heed this powerful reminder by guest Ella Noah Bancroft. As our belief systems have become entwined with the dominant economic structure, we see the commodification of our wellness, intimacy, and connectivity - a phenomenon that is severely hindering our ability to connect authentically. In conversation, Ella traces the powerful connection between our ability to go against mainstream capitalist ways of being and our capacity for deep connection with ourselves and each other. With intimacy as an entrance point, our conversation explores what happens when we derive our pleasure from extraction, the kind of deep embodiment and connectivity that threatens capitalistic and colonial structures, and how we can journey back into spaces of trust through practices that don't have to cost us a thing. Ella Noah Bancroft is a Bundjalung woman based in the Northern New South Wales, Australia. Ella identifies as mixed heritage Indigenous, gay woman. She grew up living in both worlds, her Indigenous world and the mainstream Australian world. Both challenged her identity in different ways. She is an Australian born artist, storyteller, mentor and founder of “The Returning” and Yhi Collective. Music by Harrison Foster, Lady Moon & The Eclipse, and Sucúlima.

HOW TO BIRTH UNASSISTED - SPECIAL EPISODE This episode is a response to the state of emergency that pregnant and birthing women are faced with around the world. This episode was prompted by reports reaching me of women having to birth unassisted in underground shelters in the Ukraine due to the war and the natural flooding disaster that has happened the last week and still is happening on the east coast of Australia to my beloved community in Northern New South Wales. My heart is broken to hear of the devastation in my old home town and area. And I want to help, so using this platform to spread some support. Of course there are other conflicts and disasters around the world leaving women without birth support so this episode will be timeless to assist women faced with this situation. This is NOT an exhaustive checklist on how to birth unassisted. There is plenty more that can be shared. But it is a basic guide, and a start and an attempt to support those who find themselves desperate and fearful of birthing alone. Please share this episode far and wide so it might reach the mamas that are truly finding themselves in need of this support. Thank you podcast community!
Ben, live from the Adelaide Writers Week, breaks down the Peter Dutton Insiders interview that failed to ask a single question about his involvement with a Queensland business man, who he has made commercials for in the past, which FriendlyJordies has exposed as having been involved in questionable behaviour. Dutton sabre rattled about China, made up defence policy on the run, refused to be accountable for his failure to properly deploy defence personnel to assist with the floods and in aged care. While people in Queensland and Northern New South Wales are forming a "mud army" to deal with the disaster Dutton railed against suggestions his government hadn't done enough to support the people. Despite even NSW Liberal Premier Perrottet admitting they had failed to do enough. Ben looks at how this part of a broader picture of failure by the Morrison government on everything from a federal ICAC to un-needed car parks and how this weeks economic figures show that failure is being paid for by working people with wages FALLING while profits SKYROCKET. We round out with a shoutout for the International Women's day events happening this week, including the big union rally in Melbourne this TUESDAY. Plus there's a shout out to our supporters who've said hello while in Adelaide and made a contribution at www.buymeacoffee.com/weekonwednesday
After days of torrential rain and what meteorologists termed a rain bomb, many parts of Brisbane went under as the Brisbane River and many suburban creeks flooded. It's the most severe flooding in Brisbane since 2011, but this time around what caught many locals out was just how fast the water rose. Lou lives in the suburb of Oxley which is in Brisbane's south west - it was devastated by the floods in 2011, and while I couldn't get in to speak to her in person because of the flooding, I managed to get her on the phone to chat about what Oxley was going through. There were plenty of good news stories as well, like the cows rescued from a shed roof by a group of kayakers. Bonus fact - Oxley is one of Dave McCormack aka Bandit Heeler's favourite Brissy suburbs - we know because he dropped that factoid when we got the chance to interview him last year.

Put the lid on and process. Once it looks like everything is broken up a little, begin to stream in the olive oil. When it starts to thicken, add the soy sauce, lemon juice and Worcestershire, then the remaining olive oil. Finish with the cream and a bit of water to loosen it to a thick but drizzly consistency. Add a few cracks of fresh black pepper and check and adjust the seasoning. Refrigerate until ready to use.·2.To make the salad, heat the olive oil in a small sauté pan over a high heat and add the dry capers. Ensure they are as dry as you can make them to avoid too much splatter. Allow the capers to sizzle a little and, when they have almost finished sizzling (meaning most of the water has evaporated), scoop them out and dry them on a piece of paper towel. Reserve the oil.·3.Tear bread into rough pieces and add to the pan. Use the caper oil and some more olive oil, if needed, to shallow-fry croutons over medium heat. You want to fry the bread on a couple of sides, but you don't want it to be completely crispy. You want a bit of soft chew with a crusty exterior. Try to do this in one layer so that you don't overcrowd the pan. This might mean you need to do it in a couple of batches. Season croutons with salt and pepper.·4.Spread the tonnato on the plate first, then cut up the tomatoes into thick slices and arrange on top. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Scatter the croutons over the top. Finish with fried capers and fresh picked basil leaves. Serve immediately.

Emma Heuston is a lawyer, author, and entrepreneur. A passionate advocate of work/life balance and the freedom to work from home, Emma is the Founder and Director of The Remote Expert, a virtual law firm delivering legal services and legal information to online business owners across Australia. In 2011, Emma was on the traditional lawyer-style corporate path – but a near-death experience changed her views on work/ life balance and brought with it the realization that life is way too short not to do exactly as you please. So, Emma and her family moved from Sydney to far Northern New South Wales in late 2013. After the sea change, Emma worked remotely at partner level in a law firm for a number of years. Which was great, until it wasn't. While it was flexible, that role didn't fulfill Emma's sense of purpose to help other women say, “what if” and take the leap to start a business on their own terms. In 2018, Emma wrote The Tracksuit Economy, her work from home bible, and founded the Remote Expert in 2019, where it has gone from strength to strength helping those with online businesses and assist people who have businesses run from home. Emma has some interesting views on the overuse of the word “scale” when it comes to businesses, especially online businesses, and seeks to change that as part of her work. Hear from Emma on: What went wrong in your first business post-corporate career and what did you nail early on that still works for you today? Can all online businesses scale up and succeed and why do some work better than others? E.g. legal practice vs online jewelry business. What common mistakes do many online business people make when trying to scale online and how can we remedy this? Where is the future of online business heading?
