On today's show, Simeon Boikov discusses a remarkable development involving a cardboard drone manufactured in Australia, specifically Melbourne. These drones, priced at $50,000 each, have been utilized in actions against Russian forces within the Kursk zone. Prime Minister Albanese claimed that these drones were intended for humanitarian aid deliveries, despite their deployment in attacks on a Russian airbase. The show also explores speculation about Yevgeny Prigozhin's potential state funeral denial and delves into Australia's increasing militarization. The discussion includes concerns about the rising influx of migrants leading to a housing crisis, with the housing supply-demand gap exacerbated by the government's reluctance to decrease migrant intake. Moreover, the show covers 2GB host Ray Hadley's criticism of a new radio ratings system, suggesting that lackluster content might contribute to the decline in program ratings. For more detailed information, check out the sources: Eurasian Times Article, AeroTime Article, and Telegraph Article, as well as the commentary piece from The Australian and news about 2GB host Ray Hadley. Later, John Larter discusses critical topics: healthcare woes in a town of 10,000 due to sacked paramedics, Clive Palmer funding anti-Telstra action on COVID-19 vaccines, Australia's vulnerability to the Eris variant, and WWE Star Bray Wyatt's COVID-19-related heart complications and passing at 36. GUEST 1 OVERVIEW: Australian born Aussie Cossack rose to prominence during the NSW lockdowns as an outspoken media personality notorious for his hilarious interactions with the NSW police and numerous large scale campaigns against corrupt politicians. Boikov left Australia at the age of 18 to study at the Moscow Sretensky Seminary. It was here that he he had his first posting as a journalist Whilst in Russia Boikov became heavily involved in the Russian Cossack movement. Upon returning to Australia Boikov was elected the Ataman of the Australian Cossack chapter and founded a pro-Russian political newspaper called Russian Frontier. In May of 2022 the Aussie Cossack was jailed for 10 months for breaching a suppression and non-publication order for content posted to his YouTube channel. After successfully winning an appeal against the severity of the sentence Aussie Cossack left prison.

John's town of 10,000 can't get adequate ambulance service without borrowing from nearby cities-why? Because they have sacked ambulance staff over the jabs. Imagine an unvaccinated ambulance paramedic giving someone with a heart attack covid 19? That could send them to the hospital!!!

With the 58th NSW Parliament opening this week my WilmsFront guest is freshly elected Liberal Democrats MLC the Hon John Ruddick to discuss the issues he will be pursuing in the parliament. John spent 25 years attempting to democratize the Liberal Party even publishing a manifesto Make the Liberal Party Great Again. But in 2021 with the Liberal Government in his home state of NSW plunging Sydney into an extended covid lockdown John joined the Liberal Democrats. John was the lead NSW Senate candidate for the Liberal Democrats at the 2022 federal election. The NSW membership endorsed him to be their lead candidate for the Legislative Council in the 2023 state election but the state executive decided to disendorse him. A special state general meeting was organized by the membership which replaced the state executive and re-endorsed John as their lead candidate. The Liberal Democrats campaigned on a freedom manifesto including covid justice. The NSW Government recently suspended its pursuit of unpaid covid fines after an NSW Supreme Court decision that ruled that writing failing to comply with a public health order on a penalty notice was not valid. As a party that supports individual freedom and choice the Liberal Democrats abhor the Albanese Government's new vaping restrictions which will only see those with medical prescriptions legally able to purchase and import vaping products. The Liberal Democrats will be forced to change their name following new legislation passed by the Morrison Government which forbids other parties from using the name Liberal other than the first registered Liberal Party. A decision on the party's new name will be made at the party's AGM in Melbourne next week. mail: me@timwilms.comMessage: https://t.me/timwilms Wilms Front Links:Entropy: https://entropystream.live/app/wilmsfrontWebsite: http://timwilms.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/wilmsfrontMinds: https://www.minds.com/timwilmsGab: https://gab.com/timwilmsTelegram: https://t.me/wilmsfrontParler: https://parler.com/profile/timwilms/ Support the Show:Membership: http://www.theunshackled.net/membershipDonate: https://www.theunshackled.net/donate/Paypal: https://www.paypal.me/TheUnshackled Other Unshackled Productions:Trad Tasman Talk: https://www.theunshackled.net/ttt/Report From Tiger Mountain: http://reportfromtigermountain.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Justice Ian Harrison delivered his verdict in the murder trial in the NSW Supreme Court.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Justice Ian Harrison has handed down his verdict in the murder trial of former teacher and rugby league player Chris Dawson, 40 years after his first wife Lynette Dawson vanished from Sydney's northern beaches. Dawson, 74, faced a judge-alone trial in the NSW Supreme Court, during which his lawyers argued it was possible Lynette abandoned her young daughters and the family's Bayview home in January 1982. She was 33 at the time and her body has never been found. The Crown had alleged Dawson killed his wife and disposed of her body, possibly with assistance, to have an unfettered relationship with a teenage babysitter and his former student, known as JC. The disappearance was the subject of a 2018 podcast by investigative journalist Hedley Thomas called The Teacher's Pet, which attracted a global audience to the case. 2GB Radio's Josh Bryant spoke to Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings before the verdict was handed down.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jessie Street was a pioneering feminist in Australia, who fought for women's rights, equal pay, reproductive rights, as well as indigenous rights during an amazing 81 year life. She was one of the activists behind the changes in the 1967 referendum. Dr Lenore Coltheart is a historian who was employed by the Street family to update Jessie's autobiography and is now writing the first full blown biography of a great and  sometimes overlooked pioneer. There is no surviving audio for 'Is it to be back to the kitchen?' so it is read for this podcast by actor Blazey Best. The opening audio of Jessie Street speaking is from 'Women's Status in the United Nations Charter' recorded for the International Women's Radio League.

The Wigs put prosecutorial fairness under the microscope. First up is a discussion of a new decision of the NSW Supreme Court in Bradley v Senior Constable Chilby, where a defendant in local court proceedings demanded disclosure of details of his accuser's history of violence, drug use and dishonesty in a case where self-defence loomed large. Secondly the wigs discuss a recent decision of the High Court of Australia in Nguyen v The Queen - which decided a long standing controversy in criminal trial law in Australia. Does the prosecution have to put into evidence an interview with an accused person who doesn't make a confession, but rather denies the commission of the offence? The Wigs examine these new and important cases in a wide ranging discussion drawing on their practical experience as Criminal Lawyers. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A recent NSW Supreme Court case has found that an employer can be held responsible for family violence when staff work from home. “It’s an area that employers have been reluctant to get involved in – what happens at home, stays at home, and the two shall never meet,” said Tammy Tansley – HR, Leadership and Workplace Culture expert. “In this case, the employer was found to be liable for the actions of an employee who killed his de facto partner whilst both were working from home.” “Given it’s estimated that up to 30% of employees will continue to work remotely/flexibly on an ongoing basis, considering the home as part of the workplace is something employers will need to get their heads around.”

In this episode I sit down with proud Wiradjuri & Wailwan woman Teela Reid. Teela is a defence lawyer, former teacher, 5 x marathoner and activist. She was awarded UNSW Law Dean’s Women of Excellence List and was appointed tipstaff to her Honour Justice Lucy McCallum in the NSW Supreme Court. Ms Reid was invited to sit in on leadership meetings in Melbourne that began the foundation of the Uluru Statement of the Heart and became a working group leader on Section 51(xxvi) in the Constitutional dialogue process. Teela shares why our constitution needs to change to acknowledge the Indigenous people of this land, and how when we include this significant part of our culture and our history, we are not losing 200 years of history we are gaining an inclusion to the 60,000 years of Indigenous culture. Which is certainly something I want for my kids. Teela’s call is for all of us to be a part of this change. This is an important conversation and one I would encourage you to listen to again and again. Soak up the honesty, wisdom, and conviction that oozes out of Teela Reid.

Can a director run legal proceedings on behalf of a company *without lawyers*? A company sought leave to appeal a decision of the NSW Supreme Court. A director sought to run the application on the company’s behalf. If a company wants to start and run Supreme Court litigation by a director, without a lawyer, then that director must also be a party to the proceedings: UCRP r7.1(3). The director and the company were both parties seeking leave to appeal. The Court of Appeal has the power to dispense with the requirement to comply with r7.1(3) in special or particular circumstances: [5] and [6]. A number of factors weighed in the director’s favour: (i) she had a 25% shareholding, appeared to be the CEO, and there had been no previous challenge to her authority, (ii) it was alleged the corporation was too poor to afford solicitors, so preventing it from proceeding without them would effectively decide the case, (iii) the dispute is about a small quantum and a straightforward issue ($40K for security for costs), and (iv) the matter is ready to run; if the Court failed to dispense with the rule it would frustrate that process: [7] – [10]. The Court dispensed with the requirement for compliance with r7.1(3) allowing the director to proceed: [11], [15], and [16]

In 2016 the PSA lodged an equal remuneration case in the Industrial Relations Commission on behalf of SAS Staff working in schools who we believed were historically underpaid because of their gender. In a historic day for SAS Staff in NSW, the PSA has obtained the Department of Education’s agreement to resolve and settle the PSA’s Equal Pay Case.We discuss the history of the case, the outcomes for those involved and the jubilation for those that will benefit the most.

So, when is your loan agreement void for uncertainty? When are a contract's terms so vague that the Court can't find any real agreement between the parties? The NSW Supreme Court considered a loan agreement obliging the borrower to pay interest "at such times, for such periods and at such rate or rates as shall be determined by the lender from time to time": [6]. Generally, when confronted with a knotty term, Courts the Court will try to preserve the contract if possible: [9]. The term above put the "times" and "periods" when interest was to be paid - as well as the rate itself - completely in the control of the lender. Seemingly: there's no interest unless the lender says so! Despite this obscurity, the Court found (bearing in mind the agreement related to unsecured loans in a family trust context) the term was sufficiently certain to be enforceable: [14]. In coming to that conclusion the Court - in my respectful view, wisely - noted the likelihood that parties to a contract of this sort might "sit down with (their) accountant" to work out the interest payments on the basis of reasonableness. We find, perhaps as always: accountants to the rescue! Hope you get some value from this episode!

Independent journalist and commentator Michael Brull recently wrote a three-part special report for New Matilda on conflict within the NSW Greens. The piece focuses on a dispute, which eventually made its way to the NSW Supreme Court, over the validity of Cate Faehrmann standing for preselection in the upper house of state parliament. Faehrmann, who won the court case and is now expected to take up the Legislative Council seat vacated by Mehreen Faruqi, is a person of some standing within the party structure, having served as Richard Di Natale’s chief-of-staff from 2015 until March of this year. It’s fair to say the prospect of her nomination was not welcomed by all party members. Indeed, some media commentators, as well as people inside the Greens, have characterised this dispute as one shaped by an ongoing, increasingly bitter civil war between the hard left and so-called moderate factions of the state party branch. Alex Whisson caught up with Michael Brull and began by asking him to outline what the dispute was about and what, in his view, its political significance was.

In light of the events of yesterday, there was a need for a huge podcast. Reg and Hugh are back to chew the fat on the latest episode of the Green and Gold Rugby Show, and were joined by the ever reliable Brett McKay to talk all things NRC. In light of the law decision regarding the Western Force in the NSW Supreme Court yesterday, the lads were also joined by lawyer and popular GAGR contributor Paul Jurdeczka (known as Bay35Pablo) to explain the legal ramifications behind the license agreement and the repercussions of it. The Five Burning Questions – 1. What does today’s decision in the NSW Supreme Court mean for Super Rugby and the Western Force? (feat. Paul Jurdeczka) 2. How do the Wallabies beat the Boks this weekend? 3. What was the standout team performance in the opening round of the NRC? 4. Which individual player caught your eye in the NRC? 5. Do you think the attacking focus of the NRC will remain?

Over the last 12 months, there has been a lot of discussion amongst accountants as to how they can best respond to the market trends that are occurring which have been supported by various surveys of small business operators – that small/medium enterprises in Australia and New Zealand want to receive additional business services from their accountant.   In the first instance, I believe you should be sitting down with your accountant so that your accountant can assist you and spend some time, on a weekly basis, working ON your business, rather than continually working IN your business.   Some of the items that you might consider in these conversations include: ·           What does your accountant think of your business? ·           Have they prepared a SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats)? ·           What do the management financial accounts for your business indicate?  Please ensure that those accounts are prepared on an individual business basis, not all being lumped together in one Profit & Loss Account. ·           What are the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and ratios? ·           How does your business line up and benchmark against other businesses?  If you would like a benchmarking report prepared, please talk to your accountants. ·           How does your business compare with budgets and cashflow forecasts when compared to your actual results? ·           Is there any cost reviews you would like undertaken in your business?  Accountants are well aware that, in a survey conducted 2 ½ years ago by CCH on 1,348 small/medium enterprises, identified cost management as the biggest single problem that small/medium enterprises have.   Other items to consider include:   Business Plans·           Do you have a business plan? ·           Is your business plan up to date? ·           Does your business plan reflect your current business operations? ·           Do you need a business plan prepared to assist you in achieving your targets?   Financial AreasDo you need some assistance in negotiations with your bank for an increase in an overdraft or a new loan facility?   Capital RaisingHave you thought about the initiatives that the Federal government is currently processing through the Parliament for amendments to the Corporations Code, to enable crowd funding equity companies to be legally formed in Australia, as well as innovation companies?   The crowd funding companies will be able to raise up to $5M, with the maximum retail investor limited to $10,000 per company per annum.  This is going to bring about considerable amounts of work with which your accountants can assist you.   The other type of new company is an innovation company.  This company is going to have special benefits for investors to obtain a taxation rebate on their investment and also a Capital Gains Tax holiday.   TrainingDo your team need some support with extra training on how to understand financial accounts, KPIs and ratios?  Do they need assistance in trying to personalise these types of accounting reports to the circumstances within your business?   If so, your accountant could assist you in undertaking those training courses and you could probably also receive some grant support from the Federal government’s skill development program.  Ask your accountant to look into that.   Grants that are availableAt the same time, have a look at any other grants which you might be able to avail yourselves, such as: ·           Research and Development (must be a company) ·           Export Market Development Grant – you need to be an exporter and you can also claim that grant if you’re proposing to export ·           Business Growth Grant – available for about 650 different types of businesses in Australia   There are always some changes going on in this whole area of grants.  A couple of weeks ago, the Business Development Grant was changed yet again to include the tourism industry in Northern Australia (area North of Tropic of Capricorn, which starts in Rockhampton, Queensland).   PPSR Due DiligenceAre you aware of the Personal Property Securities Act (PPSA) and the associated Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR)?  If not, please ask your accountant to explain to you how this legislation works.   Unfortunately, through ignorance of the PPSA Legislation, millions of dollars have been lost by Australian and international businesses operating in Australia.  Indeed, only a few weeks ago, the NSW Supreme Court issued a judgement on a case in Western Australia that involved a major international corporation from the USA, which lost $60M worth of assets because they had not registered on the PPSR.   Don’t let the words “personal property” confuse you.  This is “business property”.  Why it was called “personal property”, I have no idea.   Succession PlanningHave you got a succession plan?   A succession plan is not something that you prepare just when you’re wanting to sell your business.  It should be something that’s embedded in your organisation at every level.  Your accountant can assist you.   Intellectual Property·           Have you got a strategy to protect the Intellectual Property (IP) that has been produced within your business? ·           Do you have appropriate protection? ·           Are you applying for patents if appropriate?   Debtors·           Do you have a debtors’ management system? ·           Do you know your debtors’ days outstanding figure? ·           Do you think that figure could be improved, which could unleash significant cashflow benefits?   Your accountant can assist you.   Vision·           What’s your vision for your business? ·           Why not write it down? ·           Where do you want your business to be in 3, 5 and 10 years’ time?   Discuss that vision with your accountant.   At the same time, you could write down what you believe the valuation of your business, then you could ask your accountant to tell you what he/she believes your business is currently worth.  Invariably, there would be a difference.  This is known as the “valuation gap”.  In most cases, it seems that the owners of the business have a higher expectation of value than what their accountants do, that’s OK.  You’ve then identified the differences between the 2 figures – the “valuation gap”.  Your accountant should then be able to prepare for you a strategy plan for the next 3 or 5 years, to assist with the implementation of business strategies for the bridging of the “valuation gap”.   Find an AccountantIf you would like to find an accountant who can offer the types of services mentioned in this edition, generally knows as business advisory services, a Find an Accountant/Adviser directory within the ESS Small Business’ website.  Please visit www.esssmallbusiness.com.au and click on “Find an Accountant/Adviser” menu.  All you need to do is to type in your postcode and the system will then show you accountants in or near your postcode who offer a wider range of commercial services to small/medium enterprises.   If you would like to obtain more information, a complimentary article, “Characteristics of a Well Run Business”, is available.  Click here to obtain your copy.   ESS Small Business contains other free articles and articles for sale, prepared by about 20 other businesses, on a wide range of small/medium enterprise matters.   ESS Small Business also present webinars, free of charge, covering a wide range of small business matters.  These webinars are also recorded and are available for viewing.   We will be presenting a webinar, featuring “Planning for Success”.  Click here to register to attend and to also view our other upcoming and recorded webinars.   Whilst you are on the ESS Small Business’ website, why not have a look at the offerings from a wide range of business people who are able to assist small/medium enterprises?
