Voice Of GO(r)D is proud to present Mr Mike Williams, one of Australia's most infamous truckers and political commentators, and host of the On The Road Aussie Trucking Podcast. Mike has spent a lifetime “On The Road” Down Under, and has also been podcasting about it for a number of years now. You may have seen Mike expounding online in his ‘Minute with Mick' video segments, or having his advocacy read aloud in the Australian Senate. Maybe you passed him on your way to Port Hedland as he was towing four of the bastards loaded with Iron Ore.I appeared on Mike's show not long after I began writing about the Freedom Convoy, and have been long overdue to return the favor. Mike didn't disappoint, and fills us in on the history of Surveillance Tech in Oz, The Razorback Mountain Truckies Blockade, life in Oz under their insane Covid Regime, how their graduated licensing system works, (or not), various issues unique to Ozzy truckers, and in particular with driver shortage narratives and driver ‘replacement' by drooling morons that appears to be the same no matter where you go.Is there no escape?You can find Mike all over the Internet.On Twitter - https://x.com/theoztruckerFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/otrpodcastausSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7gqE7DetB7p7MYu3uhvpHu?si=a1c7cb8d281047b3Here is Australian Senator Glenn Sterle reading Mike's comments into Parliament -https://www.facebook.com/SenatorGlennSterle/videos/503818531182425/This is the Audiobook recounting of the Razorback Mountain Truckies Blockade -https://open.spotify.com/episode/26OmJkgEEnmlkzwVm4ARtd?si=409837e518f847d2I'm writing a book on the fate of the trucker in 2025 - https://autonomoustruckers.substack.com/p/book-project-announcement-and-a-majorIf you've got a couple of bucks to spare to help me get the book out the door -https://www.givesendgo.com/EndOfTheRoadAs always, questions, comments, suggestions, corrections and Hate Mail are welcomed and strongly encouraged - gordilocks@protonmail.com

What do some of the highest rental yields in Australia have in common with some of the biggest property busts? In this episode, we explore the darker side of high yield towns and why some locations that promise strong returns can become financial traps. From Moranbah to Port Hedland, the history of boom and bust in resource-driven towns is littered with painful lessons. Why are some towns offering yields above 12 percent while their property values plummet? What really lies beneath the glossy headlines and impressive statistics? And why are so many of these markets cheap for a reason? This episode unpacks the data and the real stories behind twenty towns investors should think twice about.        

From childhood memories of travelling the remote Kimberley landscapes of the 1960's, to arriving in a skirt and heels onto a remote WA airstrip in Kalgoorlie as a freshly minted RFDS Doctor, Dr Elizabeth Green's new memoir is an engaging, time-travelling treat. While Elizabeth was only 'officially' with the RFDS for two and a half years in the last 1980's, her love of medicine and the bush, along with a lifelong romance with her Flying Doc husband, Dr Stephen Langford, has gifted her with a swag full of incredible and often outrageous outback yarns. After working for 35 years with the RFDS Western Ops, as well as in Port Hedland, Stephen also wrote the iconic 2015 book, The Leading Edge: Innovation, technology and people in Australia's Royal Flying Doctor Service. Just like the shadow of the RFDS plane's she would often watch from the window of her many RFDS clinic and retrieval flights, Elizabeth believes the stories and communities of the RFDS have followed her throughout her life.***Thanks so much for listening to this episode of the Flying Doctor Podcast.

Peter Norris's father was a notorious bank robber who lived life on the run, dragging his boy across the country with him, until Peter refused to go with him one last time. It was the hardest decision he ever had to make.Peter Norris grew up on the run with his criminal father, Clarence 'Clarry' Norris.Every time Clarry was arrested, he would find a way out of custody and fulfil his promise of coming back to his son, and every time they reunited they would be off once more tearing across Australia.Peter climbed out windows at foster homes, and escaped group homes for boys to be with his dad, in Sydney, in Shepparton, Perth and Port Hedland.Until one day, his father came back to Peter when he had landed on his feet in the home of a beautiful foster family in regional Victoria.The faith the Dullards had in Peter gave him the courage to finally say "no" to his loving, caring, criminal, complicated dad.It was the hardest decision he ever made, but while desperately Peter wanted to be with his father, but didn't want to be him.It was the last time Peter ever saw his father. This episode of Conversations discusses family dynamics, origin stories, crime, criminality, theft, intergenerational trauma, foster care, abandoned children, group homes, remand centres, Baltara, homelessness, abuse, parenting, grief, closure, fatherhood, father son relationships.The Bank Robber's Boy is published by Simon & Schuster

Some investors are attracted to the cheap house prices and very high rental yields in resources sector towns but recent events in two of the nation's iconic locations demonstrate why this can be a strategy fraught with peril.   Hotspotting methodology dictates that a diverse economy is a core factor in any location we are willing to recommend – which means locations dominated by one industry sector seldom make it to our hotspots reports.   A country town solely reliant on agriculture, a coastal enclave where everything depends on tourism and mining towns are all places we shy away from, because their reliance on a single industry sector makes them vulnerable, volatile and high-risk.   This is particularly so with mining towns. Many investors have lost big money buying into booming mining towns, only to see property values collapse when the boom bubble bursts.   Moranbah in Queensland had a median house price of $750,000 at the height of its boom more than a decade ago, but later the median fell below $200,000 when circumstances changed. Prices later recovered a little but today the median house price remans less than half of those peak levels.   Houses in Port Hedland in WA typically cost over $1 million during the resources investment boom but dropped to well under half that level when the boom ended. More recently they have partly recovered but the median house price today is around $700,000 – about half a million dollars below that boom-time peak.   Those kinds of risks remain today, as demonstrated by recent events in South Australia and Queensland.    Whyalla in SA has a boom-bust history with its property market because its fortunes rise and fall with the resources sector. Today you can buy houses in Whyalla in the $200,000s and $300,000s and get 6% or 7% rental yields.   But the recent highly-publicised problems of the UK billionaire who owns the town's biggest employer, the steel mill, illustrates how vulnerable Whyalla is. State and federal government intervention has been necessary to try to rescue the situation, at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars to the public purse.   In far western Queensland, the iconic outback mining town of Mount Isa provides another example of the risks. A major mining operation which employs thousands of people is closing down soon, leaving Mount Isa in a difficult position. Local political and community leaders are campaigning hard to revive the town's prospects, but the future may be grim.   A look at the price graphs for Mount Isa locations – which resemble a mountain range rather than a smooth upward curve – demonstrates how volatile this market can be.   You can buy houses in the $200,000s and get rental yields around 8% or 9%, but capital growth prospects look rather shaky at this point.

I took so long to upload this - mostly because of covid but also self indulgence. Had a good chat with Dave about cookers. Just as a side note - I am going to get vaccinated around November from here onward. Covid goes mental during silly season. I prefer novavax because it has zero side effects for me (I am not a doctor this is not medical advice) but if we all jab up in October or so, we might not have to destroy christmas on a regular basis. My last jab was last year and covid last week SUCKED. Episode is of course brought to you by CBCo but since recording they have sent me beers so my lack of beers are now lies. We love CBCo. CRP10 code still works. Buy their beer - it makes us look good, but it's also really good beer. I maintain their IPA is one of the best WCIPAs in the country and CHEAP!The audio edit is a bit janky because it's done by AI but it's fine. I'm tired. Enjoy the episode! Oh and a patron had an issue finding the SP group so here's a facebook like that might work. PS the myplace song is at the end and I have not listened to it cause it's awfulShownotes below. So descript are offering AI shownotes which is amazing cause I hate writing them. Good lord - timestamps! The Fireside Chat: Vaccine Controversies, Council Cookery, and Freedom Movement DramaIn this episode of the Conditional Release Program, the host is joined by Dave to discuss current events and controversies. Dave provides an update on the 'cooker' community, shedding light on recent incidents in Port Hedland where a council motion against mRNA vaccines gained traction. The conversation also explores the spread of fire ants and the contentious methods being used to control them, drawing criticism from both locals and activists. Additionally, they delve into the dynamics of the freedom movement, its political ramifications, and the potential impacts on upcoming elections. The episode highlights the persistent challenges and divisions within these groups, all set against a backdrop of casual, insightful dialogue.00:00 Introduction and Casual Chat00:56 Port Hedland Controversy02:48 Council Reactions and Media Coverage07:52 The Great Debate and Vaccine Skepticism14:46 Freedom Festivals and Community Events23:21 Fire Ant Invasion and Public Concerns29:46 Debunking Misinformation: Birth Defects and Zika Virus31:14 Fire Ant Crisis: Chemical Solutions and Natural Alternatives35:30 Political Landscape: Cooker Candidates and Election Predictions46:42 Freedom Movement: Divisions and Local Impact55:10 Carbon Credits and Agricultural Practices57:08 Conclusion: Reflections and Future Outlook

Things are constantly changing in real estate nationwide but the one factor that never changes is this:  we can always rely on news media to distort the facts and deliver a steady flow of misinformation to Australian consumers, all in the interests of attracting readership, with little regard for accuracy, honesty or fairness. The past week or so has been chockful of media nonsense. If you can believe the headlines, the national property boom is over, house prices are plunging, the rental boom is over and the North Queensland city of Townsville is a mining town. One of the constants of my 40-plus years charting Australian real estate is that there are lines and lines of idiots scrambling to be the first to declare that a boom is over, usually long before it actually is. This is often fed by data research entities like CoreLogic where the key people never let the facts get in the way of good headline and free publicity. So Australia has been resplendent lately with strident headlines declaring that the national property boom is over or words to that effect. Here's the first problem: we don't have a national property boom so it's rather odd to declare that something which doesn't exist is finished. We have certainly had a boom in Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane among the capital cities, but certainly nothing remotely resembling a boom in the other five state and territory capitals.  It's a similar scenario in the regional markets, with a variety of different situations ranging from downturn and stagnation to moderate growth and, in some cases, strongly rising prices. But nationally growth in house and unit prices has averaged 6 or 7 percent throughout 2024 – and lately the annual growth rate, as a national average, has been 4 or 5 percent. Only in the fertile imaginations of media headline writers would that constitute a boom. But, according to various media outlets, this mythical boom is over – even though the latest figures for annual growth in three of our capital cities and three of our state regional markets are still well above 10%. The only places where the evidence suggests the boom is over are the ones where a boom never took place – like Melbourne, Hobart, Darwin and Canberra. But not only, according to media, is the fictional national boom over, but property prices are plunging. One headline in Fairfax media claimed to reveal Why property prices are plunging across Australia – amid warning they could slide even further. A close examination of the article underneath this startling headline discovered there was no evidence in the story to justify the headline. Quite simply, the headline was a blatant fabrication – which, sadly, is all too common in today's news media. The article revealed that Sydney's median price was 0.8% lower than three months earlier but 3.3% higher than a year earlier, while Melbourne was down 1% over three months. Nothing in those figures goes even close to “prices plunging”. In the other major cities prices were still rising and indeed were still growing at boom time rates. House prices were also up in the Combined Regions in the latest month, the latest quarter and the past year– and unit prices were also up nationally, both in the cities and the regions. So, there was very little sign of even minor decline in prices anywhere and certainly no evidence at all of price plunging.  So this was yet another instance of a headline which was an outright and blatant lie. And who wrote this rubbish? well, it was the champion of negative media about residential real estate, the endlessly sad Shane Wright who has devoted his career to writing nonsense about property markets. But wait, there's more. Not only is the fictional national price boom over, but apparently the rental boom is over as well! There have been strident headlines and soundbites inferring that rents are no longer rising.  As is so often the case with these big sweeping media statements, the claim was based on a single month's figures from one source. Nationally, rents rose only 0.2% in November, according to CoreLogic, therefore the boom is over in the simplistic minds of attention-seeking analysts and journalists. And, yes, once again, the source of this myopic and shallow analysis is CoreLogic, a business which publishes lots of major real estate data but is quite dreadful at analysing what it all means. So CoreLogic's head of research Tim Lawless said: “At 5.3% annual growth, rents are still rising at more than twice the pre-pandemic decade average of 2.0%, but given the weak monthly change the annual trend is set to slow further from here. “It will be interesting to see if the rate of rental growth rebounds through the seasonally strong first quarter of the year in 2025, but beyond any seasonality, it looks increasingly like the rental boom is over”. But other sources tell a different story. SQM Research records a monthly rise of a tick under 1% as the national average for residential rents, with Adelaide up 1.1%, Perth rising 1.9% and Canberra up 1.5%. The national vacancy rate remains a fraction above 1%, essentially unchanged from three years ago, so can anyone justify a claim that the rental shortage crisis and rising rents is all done and dusted? Hardly. Another startling set of headlines resulted from the latest Regional Market Update from CoreLogic which declared that the highest capital growth was occurring in Queensland and WA mining towns. I was truly perplexed because I know there has been little price growth recently in mining towns like Karratha, Port Hedland and Newman in WA and Moranbah in Queensland. However, the headlines resulted from CoreLogic boffins – yes, it's CoreLogic again - re-defining major regional cities as mining towns.  Apparently Townsville, which has one of the most diverse economies in regional Australia, with only minor influence from the resources sector, is now a mining town.  So is the key Central Queensland of Mackay, apparently, despite being 2-3 hours' drive from the nearest coal mine. In WA, the key regional city of Geraldton is also, apparently, a mining town, according to Core illogic, although the nearest iron ore mine is an hour's drive away. All of this, and a whole lot more, reinforces our view that there is more misinformation than actual information in mainstream media. And that any real estate consumer who bases a decision on the content of media reports is at risk of making a very bad decision.

SV-40 which is a massive cause of cancer has been shown to be in both the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines according to multiple major studies. SV-40 is an incredibly dangerous carcinogen and Moderna has admitted already in front of the US Congress that it is indeed in the injections causing cancer rates to go up. Pfizer was forced to acknowledge SV-40 in their injections as well after attempting to cover it up. While the town says they've seen a 7-fold increase in deaths since the vaccines, many studies show as much as a 42X increase in death among young people in certain locales. Meanwhile, the Slovakian government is once again pushing back against the noise of the global establishment in more than a few ways as they call for a complete ban on mRNA vaccines following a government report showing "Covid" was a "fabricated operation." New studies are also showing a massive increase in auto-immune disorders following injections. Will there be proper justice? It's yet to be seen, though as breaking news seems to report, Bill Gates is facing an indictment in the Netherlands over "misleading claims" surrounding covid injections and is to "face trial." We shall see how far that "trial" really goes. Stay tuned for more from WAM!

In Part 2 of the Local Legends podcast with Tony Lee, the conversation continues to explore Tony's vivid memories of growing up in Broome during the 1960s and 70s. Tony reflects on the simpler, more physical lifestyle of the time, marked by the absence of modern conveniences like smartphones, computers, and even television, which didn't arrive in Broome until the 1980s. He recounts how families relied on newspapers and radio for news, and how children created their own entertainment, spending much of their time outdoors. Tony shares nostalgic stories of makeshift fun, like trying to tune in television signals from distant Port Hedland using rooftop antennas, and how children in Broome often made their own toys and games. He also reminisces about long walks to Gantheaume Point during the Christmas holidays to gather bush tucker, and the communal activities like fishing at the old jetty, where local families relied on their catches as a primary food source. Tony paints a picture of a tight-knit community, where kids were resilient and resourceful, finding joy in the simple things and bonding over shared experiences. He also touches on cultural traditions, such as making a simple soup from mussels with lemongrass, a practice passed down through generations. Throughout the conversation, Tony's stories highlight the richness of Broome's cultural heritage and the strength of its community spirit during his childhood.

Riversgold Ltd (ASX:RGL) chairman David Lenigas sits down with Proactive's Jonathan Jackson to discuss excellent results stemming from a site visit to sample multiple prospects at its Tambourah Project. David, good to see you. During the visit Riversgold sampled multiple prospects at Tambourah, located 160 kilometres southeast of Port Hedland in Western Australia. The visit returned exceptional rock chip results, including 101 g/t gold and 21.78% copper. These findings validated historical exploration results and confirmed an anomalous copper and gold trend over a 12-kilometre strike length. Significant results included a rock chip from the Lone Star prospect with 101 g/t gold and 4.1% copper, and samples from the Hawkstone prospect yielded 21.78% copper and 3.3 g/t gold, and 16.78% copper and 2.4 g/t gold. Additionally, the Logans Find prospect registered up to 67.1 g/t gold. This news increased RGL's share price by up to 33.33% to 0.008 during morning trade. Lenigas described the results as a tremendously exciting development, highlighting the potential for further exploration driven by these surface findings. The company is focusing on the copper and gold potential at Tambourah as part of its broader exploration strategy. Technical director Ed Mead, who sampled the areas during the site visit, identified several gabbro intrusions that could be the source of the mineralisation. Riversgold plans to continue exploration in the coming weeks. Riversgold targeted five prospects for copper and gold at Tambourah -Logans Find, Lone Star, Hawkstone, Shaw Mullock and Trafalgar. The company is updating its regional geological modelling to revise the exploration strategy for the entire Tambourah Project. #ProactiveInvestors #Riversgold #ASX #TambourahProject #GoldMining #CopperMining #Exploration #WesternAustralia #MiningNews #Gold #Copper #StockMarket #Investing #Geology #RockChipResults #MiningIndustry #DavidLenigas #EdMead #Mineralisation #GabbroIntrusions #HistoricalExploration #GeologicalModelling #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Tropical Cyclone Ilsa has made landfall in Western Australia with warnings it is the strongest storm seen in the state for almost 15 years. It powered up to a category 5 storm, the strongest possible category, as it neared land. Ilsa crossed land just after midnight (WA time) on Friday morning with winds speeds approaching 300kmh. It hit the Pilbara region near the Pardoo Roadhouse and De Grey, 150 km north of Port Hedland and 450km south of Broome. The storm is now officially record breaking, the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM), has confirmed. It set a new preliminary Australian 10-minute sustained wind speed record of 218km/h at Bedout Island, just off the WA coast. Cyclone George in 2007 hit 194km/h for 10 minutes at the same location. “The very destructive core of Ilsa, with extreme gusts up to 295 km/h is impacting areas near Pardoo Roadhouse and De Grey during the next few hours, before tracking inland,” the BOM said. Winds of around 150km/h could be felt inland in areas including Marble Bar and Telfer. While 90km/h winds may hit Port Hedland. Cyclone Ilsa was expected to strike Western Australia by Friday. Photo / Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology From 150 to 300mm of rain is likely around coastal areas near Illsa's eye during Friday. WA's Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES) issued a red alert just hours ahead of Tropical Cyclone Ilsa making landfall warning of fierce winds up which had already reached 285km/h. Extremely destructive winds of up to 315km/h are expected around the centre of Ilsa The red alert covers people between Bidyadanga and Port Hedland (not including Bidyadanga) and inland to Marble Bar and Nullagine. “Stay indoors now. It is too late to leave,” said the DFES. Those in the red alert zone need to seek shelter immediately, and hunker down until the danger has passed. “The forecast for tomorrow is that it will maintain tropical cyclone intensity as it tracks past Telfer and further inland. Telfer could experience destructive winds up to 170 kmh,” said DFES. The Bureau of Meteorology's Todd Smith said Ilsa would cause a lot of damage to the landscape, and buildings that weren't up to code. “We know that this system is really packing a punch,” he said. “Category five cyclones are incredibly dangerous, with wind gusts in excess of 250km/h,” he said. “That's going to cause a heap of damage to trees, vegetation, if there were any caravans around they would be destroyed. “Any houses that aren't built to code are going to suffer extensive damage from that kind of wind strength.” - Benedict Brook & Alex Blair, news.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ruth Palmer was scared to death about coming on this podcast. But she did it anyway. And that just about sums up Ruth Palmer. Born in Adelaide, Ruth was 15 when her parents decided to move to Port Hedland in Western Australia where he father took up another position as a train driver. Ruth refused to go and instead behind and moved in with her boyfriend. The relationship was not a good one for Ruth. She eventually moved to Port Hedland and ended up in another bad relationship before moving to Melbourne where she finally had a chance to grow.  Ruth didn't like the cold and moved up to Brisbane where she started a career in the recruitment industry. She then moved to Darwin and Lajamanu and  married a police officer. Her father's background in the CFMEU made her an ideal candidate for the Labor Party and she joined the Government in communications and even after Labor lost the election 2012, she was one of handful to be offered a position with the government now in opposition. For the past seven and half years Ruth has been Executive Director of the Property Council of Australia. Despite a serious case of imposter syndrome, Ruth has overcome her fears and doubts and is now one of the most influential women in the Northern Territory.  This is Ruth Palmer's Territory Story.

Today on the show I speak with Mama of 2 Emma Penno who lives in remote WA in Port Headland. Emma herself was a c-section baby and so were her 3 siblings. Emma believed for a long time that c-sections were the safest and best option. But, fast forward to her first pregnancy Emma intuitively knew she wanted a natural birth but lost her her first baby at 8 weeks. She fell pregnant for the second time shortly after and had a straight forward physiological birth in hospital. After this birth she decided to freebirth her 2nd son and although she did have prenatal care at the hospital she was always in her power and had a very intuitive pregnancy and birth. Her second sons birth was so simple that her husband came home only a mere hour before he was earth side. When I asked Emma to be on the podcast she said - I don't know what I'd say about it because my freebirth was really a non event. And I replied - that is what I love about it. We also talk about womb regression, how important it is to work on yourself and spirit babies. Enjoy this conversation a very simple but still spiritual birth. More about Emma: Emma is a curious, independent, wild woman. Also, a Mother of two boys living in the remote town of Port Hedland, Western Australia. It was after the birth of Emma's first baby she became really passionate about birth, to then realise 4 years later that her passion for the way we are born actually began at the time of her own birth. After spending the last 6 years understanding more about why and how we birth like we do and creating a business, Emma has shifted her focus to mastering the art of honouring a 'slow' Mother phase, for herself and her family. This looks like getting back to basics, connecting to herself through her inner cycles and nature, slowing down her days and bringing more ritual into her life. From seeing freebirth as dangerous and risky, to thinking a c section would be safer, here is Emma's story of freebirthing her own baby. Photo Credit - Bobbi Lockyer/@Hedlandphotographer
