Podcasts about prime ministerial

There's concerns a former Prime Ministerial staffer hasn't faced charges after allegedly voice-recording sex workers. Michael Forbes has quit as acting deputy press secretary over allegations he took compromising recordings of sex workers, and photos of women he didn't know. A Wellington brothel complained to police last July, who found it didn't meet the threshold for prosecution. Sex Workers' Collective regional coordinator Cherida Fraser says sometimes it's just the tip of the iceberg. She explained more harm could occur, despite this seemingly being at the lower end of the spectrum. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A conversation with Anthony James, host of The RegenNarration podcast, a Prime Ministerial award winner for service to the international community and Honorary Research Fellow at UWA.

Friday Focus provides listeners with a focused, half-hour masterclass on the big issues, events and trends driving the news and current events. The show features Janice Gross Stein, the founding director of the Munk School of Global Affairs and bestselling author, in conversation with Rudyard Griffiths, Chair and moderator of the Munk Debates. Rudyard and Janice open the show with last night's Canadian English language leaders' debate. Rudyard thinks that Pierre Poilievre looked prime ministerial for the first time in this campaign, while Mark Carney showed a calmness and dexterity for someone with limited political experience. Bottom line: it was a good night for both leaders but it won't move the needle much. Furthermore, it's past time to rethink how the leaders' debate commission conducts election debates which fail to test leaders to the benefit of undecided voters. In the second half of the show Rudyard and Janice talk about Trump's very combative and controversial week: defying the courts and America's commitment to due process for illegal immigrants, a fight with Harvard University which could have broad implications on universities across the US, and his public condemnation of Jerome Powell, the chair of the US federal reserve, because he doesn't like the bank's restrictive rates and the inflationary threat they represent. Trump's willingness to engage in public battles and ignore basic laws signal an unconstrained chaos with no end in sight.

It's no secret our world is in upheaval right now—climate disasters, political unrest, economic uncertainty. But in the midst of it all, there are also stories of resilience, adaptation, and new ways forward.That's a theme Anthony James, host of The Regen Narration Podcast, has explored deeply. From an extended road trip across the U.S., interviewing community leaders navigating climate adaptation, to studying how people respond to upheaval, Anthony has seen firsthand how crisis can be a catalyst for transformation.In this episode, we dive into: Why witnessing and pitching in during disaster—rather than looking away—is essential to change. Lessons from his travels across the U.S., meeting communities in the midst of transformation. A Paradise Built in Hell by Rebecca Solnit, and how joy and transcendence can emerge from catastrophe. Real-world examples of people coming together across political and cultural divides to build something new. What modern society can learn from Indigenous worldviews that see nature as kin and resilience as a collective effort. Do we focus on building centralized movements, or do we nurture local seeds of change and trust in their transformative power?

What's with all these sackings and surprise resignations this week... Phil Goff yesterday, Adrian Orr the day before. Richard Prebble did a runner from the gravy train of the Waitangi Tribunal Greg Foran Calls it a day at Air New Zealand after 5 years... One of these guys had change forced on them, the other three just packed up and left with varying degrees of notice. Some are angry. some are relieved. And they all have one thing in common They're over 60. You don't screw with successful over 60s, which they all are. They have discovered a superpower. They don't give a flying fig. They're financially settled. They know their own mind. They can afford to stand on their principles, Phil Goff won't mind being held to account for what he said because he believes it. He may be regretful that his entertaining job in London has gone but he'll just come back to the farm in Clevedon and start making some real money in consultancy and cashing in both his Prime Ministerial and Mayoral superannuation. When things start getting all hot and sticky in their jobs for these over 60s, they can instantly switch to whoever needs this crap and walk. And then they brood. In their Bach. Or on a cruise ship. With a nice dinner reservation and maybe treat themselves to a new car. And if you think the over 60s have a superpower it's nothing compared to the over 70s whose superpower is the absolute certainty in what they believe and the total commitment to making sure that everyone knows it.

Brady Corbet, the now-Oscar-nominated director of ‘The Brutalist', sits down with Simon for an interview this week. His much lauded and lengthy fictional biopic follows the life of László Tóth, a Hungarian architect who arrives in late-1940s America having survived the Holocaust, and finds his life changed once again when he picks up a commission from a wealthy industrialist. Brady chats to Simon about all those awards nominations, the empathy generating machine that is Adrien Brody, and the future of AI in the movie business.

In this bonus episode for Patreon subscribers, live from the Newcastle Comedy Club during the Rising Tide blockade, it’s a special Boxing Day panto! As a young man getting into green politics, former senator Scott Ludlam wrote the play Atomic Oz - “The story of the nuclearisation of Australia and how ordinary people can get in its way. Played out on a giant map of Australia, the show travels from 1947 to 2001 in a circus sideshow of military, industry and Prime Ministerial figures doing their stuff with the assistance of the Public Relations aide and their pet monstrosity 'the Friendly Atom'. This 45 minute show, packed with comedy, song, dance routines and pyrotechnics, is about celebrating our community’s desire for the 21st century to be nuclear free.” Emerald and Tom are joined by youth protester Rosie and NSW Legislative Councillor Sue Higginson for a live reading of an extended excerpt from the play!

While 2024 may not have brought the shocks of cyclones, Prime Ministerial resignations or election campaigns, there’s a lot to digest from the last year. The Government delivered tax relief, gang crackdowns and a Fast Track bill, while dealing with controversy over Māori relations, smoking laws and apartment entitlements. Te Pāti Māori led the fight back against the Treaty Principles Bill, while Labour rebuilt from its election loss, and the Greens contended with rogue MPs and personal tragedy. Inflation started to fall, but a tough economy saw thousands lose their jobs, including the end of iconic news brands. Māoridom farewelled a King and welcomed a new Queen, while the British Monarchy was dealt a double cancer blow. Globally, conflict continued across Ukraine and Gaza, while the ‘year of elections’ delivered a new PM for the UK, and an old President for the US. And fans around the world found time to hold space for Brat Summer, Wicked, the Menendez Brothers and the Eras tour. Today on The Front Page, for our final episode of 2024, we’re discussing all the highs and lows of the year with Coast host Lorna Riley, and NZ Herald business editor at large, Liam Dann.

A signficant situation vacant is causing concern in the science world and beyond. The government won't say whether it's keeping role of Prime Minister's Chief science advisor; a job that has been empty since July. That's despite the coalition agreement saying "decisions will be based on data and evidence."Among other things the chief science advisor provides advice on specific topics to the PM and Ministers and information in a crisis like, the covid pandemic. However, past advice from Prime Ministerial science advisors on dealing with gangs, a rising prison population , and boot camps has run contrary to a number of policies the current government's adopted. The budget for the office has also been cut by half a million dollars. Simon Kingham was Chief Science advisor to the NZTA, up until May this year and spoke to Lisa Owen.

Should Keir Starmer go on holiday whilst the country is still grappling with violent disorder? In a YouGov poll on Thursday 71% of those surveyed said he shouldn't. The PM is meant to be heading off on a summer break on Monday but that is looking increasingly unlikely. We still haven't got the final word from No.10 but we we thought it was a good opportunity to take a look at the politics of prime ministerial holidays. Oscar Edmondson speaks to Katy Balls and Jon Rentoul, chief political commentator at the Independent.  Produced by Oscar Edmondson. 

The Hamilton Today Podcast with guest host Scott Radley: This Olympics has garnered controversy in multiple events, including the opening ceremony. Does it really stand out from other years, in this regard, and are these controversies something raise concern? Hamas has named Yahya Sinwar, as its new leader. Yahya is the group's top official in Gaza, and the mastermind behind the October 7 attacks in Israel. Christopher Dummit has written a new piece for the National Post on language around social issues – like homelessness – is changing, literally, and what the implications may be. What happens if there is a rail strike, and how will our ports be impacted? Federal Conservative leader and Prime Ministerial hopeful Pierre Poilievre is in Hamilton and around today, sharing his plans for taxes and the cost of living in Canada. He joins us now. Is the Harris-Walz Democratic Presidential ticket really “Canada's Team”? The former U.S. ambassador to Canada seems to think so. Yesterday, Mayor Andrea Horwath used her Strong Mayor Powers to call on city staff to come up with a plan for temporary shelters at serviced “sanctioned” sites, in response to Hamilton's homelessness crisis. More Strong Mayors across Ontario are getting comfortable with their powers, and finding uses for them. Is this a good thing, or are the powers detrimental to municipal democracy? Conservatives call for a probe into how someone with ties to ISIS even made it into Canada originally. It is all coming up on Hamilton Today! Guests: Bruce Kidd, Professor Emeritus, Sport and Public Policy, University of Toronto Aurel Braun, Professor of International Relations and a Senior Member of the Munk School of Global Affairs at the University of Toronto Christopher Dummit, Historian of Canadian Culture and Politics at Trent University Ian Hamilton, President & CEO, Hamilton Oshawa Port Authority Pierre Poilievre, Federal Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada Elliot Tepper, Emeritus Professor of Political Science with Carleton University Fred Eisenberger, Former Mayor of the City of Hamilton Phil Gurski, President of Borealis Threat and Risk Consulting, former CSIS analyst Host – Scott Radley Content Producer – William Erskine Technical/Podcast Producer – Tom McKay Podcast Co-Producer – Ben Straughan News Anchor – Dave Woodard Want to keep up with what happened in Hamilton Today?

He said it was also a time to amend the “strained relationships” between the agricultural sector and his previous government.

National is pledging to double the value of key exports within a decade, if it leads the next government. It says it would conduct more overseas trade missions than any other New Zealand government, and sign more high-quality free-trade agreements. It's similar to Labour's Trade policy agenda: both focus on deepening ties with India and Prime Ministerial visits; and pursuing agreements with the Gulf States and South America's Pacific Alliance countries. Labour however, specifies the importance of climate change, sustainability, and indigenous people within those agreements. Joining us are the trade spokespeople for National, Todd McClay, and Labour, Damien O'Connor. Corin Dann hosted the debate.

UK correspondent Dan Bloom joins Kathryn to look at the landmark decision that's looming on the controversial policy of sending illegal migrants to Rwanda - something the Home Office says could cost nearly £170,000 per person. London mayoral candidate and former Prime Ministerial adviser Daniel Korski has quit after allegations he groped TV producer Daisy Goodwin and mortgage lenders have agreed to a 12-month grace period before repossession proceedings start - but will that be enough to help struggling mortgage holders?

So the spin is flying, no pun intended, around the Prime Ministerial cavalcade to China. How do you possibly defend the use of two planes, when one of them is empty? How do you, in a climate crisis, a climate emergency, in a Government that has called this emergency our nuclear moment, possibly defend this amount of climatic carnage? The Prime Minister's office tells us there is a delegation of 45, in a way that seems to indicate that moving 45 people is somehow a bit new, or unusual, or complicated. It is cheaper than hiring a plane, thus indicating that cost is the deciding factor as opposed to the climate. Fortunately, it is not as bad as you might have imagined. The second plane isn't going to China. It's been to Manila, just in case Chris Hipkins' one broke down. The irony, of which there are many, is that when it came to cars in such a state i.e old and clapped out, the Government introduced a programme, called "cash-for-clunkers". They then went and cancelled it, but the thought was there. The point is simple - you are either a hypocrite, or you aren't. Part of the Prime Minister office's argument is this is a very important trip and with that large delegation you want to make sure they'll get there. But at no point do they address the carbon climate hypocrisy, and that's largely because they can't. Here is the simple truth - if you don't trust your own plane, ring Air New Zealand and buy a ticket. Buy 45 tickets! Do what most of the rest of the world does. Somehow, a trip to China by the Prime Minister of a small island nation with an old plane has been elevated to such an extent that all actions and behaviour around climate can be suspended. And all stops can be pulled out, no matter how bad it looks for the environment. Does it pass the pub test? No, it doesn't. Here is the next thing - if we hadn't banged on about this yesterday, it would appear no one else would have. Certainly not the media on board the very planes in question. They were happy to wax lyrical about Chris Luxon and his wife's EV last week, but somehow two planes are not worth a word? A $8000 rebate, as prescribed by Government policy, is a story of rank hypocrisy. But two planes, one empty, to transport 45 people is somehow not news? I just can't work out how it is the media has ended up with such a questionable reputation. Go figure.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He's someone I have a lot in common with, as we've both been strategists and campaign directors for Prime Ministerial candidates.Fred DeLorey is our guest today!Most know him as the man who helped Erin O'Toole win the Conservative leadership in 2020. And then, managed Mr. O'Toole's ultimately unsuccessful bid to become Prime Minister in 2021.Fred has also served as Director of Field Operations for Ontario Premier Doug Ford. He a former Director of Political Operations for Stephen Harper. As well as Director of Comms. Prior to that, he was Atlantic Canada Advisor in the Office of the Prime Minister. He's even run for political office himself, in Central Nova in 2015. Right now, he's a Managing Partner at Deslauriers Public Affairs.So, here's our conversation today:We're going to break down the 2021 Campaign. What actually happened? What Fred hoped would happen? What surprised him? And what got in the way of a victory?We'll also talk China election interference. If you read Fred's op-ed in The Star on March 5th, he advocates for a different approach than a public inquiry.And finally, we'll do a little Pierre Poilievre speculating.

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for the greatest privilege of my life." Jacinda Ardern has bowed out of her Prime Ministerial duties with one final trip to Rātana. Politicians of all stripes descended on the small village near Whanganui for the political year's unofficial curtain raiser. Draped in a korowai, the outgoing PM walked onto the pā with her party colleagues, on her last official day in the job. 'You do you' - is the advice she's given her successor, Chris Hipkins, who will be sworn in tomorrow. Our political reporter Giles Dexter was there.  

Pressure builds for a tough response to rampant crime in Alice Springs. As PM Anthony Albanese visits, we'll get views on whether new alcohol restrictions are the solution and hear what it's like to face repeated break ins.

In a special live edition we welcome guest Dan Snow, author, historian and host of the History Hit podcast, to take a very long view of power and politics. What lessons should Government learn from history? Can any year rival 2022 for Cabinet chaos and Prime Ministerial turnover? Which PMs were “broken” by the office? And who thought his party were “the shabbiest set of dirty politicians that was ever seen”? Chair Dr Hannah White, Director of the Institute for Government, closes out the IfG's Government 2023 conference with this special podcast featuring Dan Snow, Chief Economist at the Institute for Government Gemma Tetlow, and Giles Wilkes, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government.

Anthony James is an award-winning facilitator and educator, Prime Ministerial award-winner for service to the international community, a widely published writer, Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Western Australia and an all-round good egg.The RegenNarration podcast that he hosts features the stories of a generation that is changing the story, enabling the regeneration of life on this planet. It's well worth a listen if you are keen to be inspired by good people doing great things.I hope you enjoy this wild roving conversation with Anthony, as much as I did.Here are some of the things we discuss:- The magic of doing a podcast.- It's the humility and integrity of people that's the biggest benchmark of regeneration.- You could end up with a dim view of human nature if you just follow the news, but Anthony finds that people with integrity and doing amazing things are everywhere.- Ben Zander, giving people a grade A.- The old way of ‘belt the bad out of them' and drill them to success.- Where is the balance?- The really dark times and how key teachers helped.- Keeping the act up.- Words pass flippantly once time passes but at the time, you can feel like something is the end of the world.- Systems thinking.- Monash University for degree.- Obliviousness to options. He went home to Perth and realised that he was home.When you are going through something, you can't even see that there are options.- Keeping the performance up. On a scholarship and fit, quit binge drinking at 18.- How Frank Fisher helped Anthony re-engage with passion.- To understand all is to forgive all.- Frank connected the dots.- Embodying the integrity versus walking the talk.- If we don't keep invested in our public institutions it might be ok for us, but what about everyone else.- Yeshi, Anthony's son, is 8. His learning sky-rocketed on the road. The blend is powerful, his sociability, mechanical skills, engagement with aboriginal communities, understanding of different environments.- His son has seen things that are terrible, but also what's amazing.- Speaking to adults.- Anthony used to be scared of talking to a pastoralist when he was a kid.- Inter-generational trauma. Anthony's dad was in school since the age of 4.- Rooster or the lamb (Maggie Dent)- Black or white in the media, but everything is nuanced (humans just don't like it). Anthony is embracing a hybrid model.- Modelling trying to use devices less (or at least being cognisant of the allure of technology).- Jodie Jackson (News Literacy Network)- You are what you read book (how changing our media diets changes the world) Ep 133 on the RegenNarationn podcast.- Utterly distributed media landscape - not just the crisis- Interview with Paul Hawken and how our brains are wired to be 10x more attuned to death and destruction.- How can we ever think we can cut ourselves off from the village?- Cathy McGowan.- Democracy is now more with ourselves in our neighbourhoods. People are now getting back together, post COVID, to get people together.- We have to invest to stay invested.- Rites of passage. - Anthony travelled around the country when Yeshi was 4.- Get on-country to figure out what is happening.- When they were travelling around Australia Yeti's mechanical skills, like reading, kicked off. Maybe reading became Yeti's cave.- Charlotte's Web.- Regeneration- The systems and stories we live by.- It's not just changing a lightbulb or recycling. It's systemic cultural change that we require. Where we are seeing that, the results are massive and rapid.- If you're open enough.- Sustainability is more about changeability.- We're not perpetuating the masters of the universe story, we are assuming our part in the tapestry in order for the system to do it's thing.- The real issue is getting the conditions right and then life takes hold.- Regeneration is about putting life at the centre of everything in every moment, and let it do its thing.- Adam Goodes. Australian of the Year, had to disappear to get some kind of bearing. He got back on-country to find himself.- Getting around the fire (Mia Mia) with Eugene Eades. It grounded or sanctified the conversation. The wind spoke.- Anthony records outdoors so that nature has a say.- In this case the wind swept through and there was a tangible moment of silence. - Regeneration is the difference between fabricating an environment—agriculture that just sprays the crap out of things, kills in the name of growing. If we separate ourselves from the source of life, it at least won't be weaving its magic on us. If we dominate it, it's not going to be doing its thing anywhere and we'll be facing a death spiral.- With the source of life, it animates in ways we don't have full rationale ideas of.- Walking through farmlands that have come back from being destroyed, on incredible scales in amazing ways, is a matter of two short years. It's super exciting.- Political transformation in Australia.- Most people might be flying under the radar, but are ok to put their money where their mouth is, but it wasn't translating to parliament.- This is why Damon Gameau and Anthony found that the amazing things that are actually happening to turn around the environment are flying under the radar.- Kate Fenech, the 14 year old that worked with her mom to research thoroughly to decide which party she should vote for yet was not old enough to vote.- There is a whole body of thought to lower the voting age to 6. All the predictable objections, such as wouldn't you just be doubling the parents' vote are not standing up.- Kids being their own people.- The culture is different now. When parties began, they were strong. Like the industrial agriculture process, were probably good at the time, but now there is a shift.- The illusion that we, as parents, are in control.- The importance of language.- There is a place for everyone at this table.

People, Planet, and Profit with Benoît Sauvage We are delighted to be speaking with Benoît Sauvage today! Benoît is an international entrepreneur who has worked for French presidents! He owns a DMC and consults on sustainability. Benoît has some interesting insights for us today! We talk about the DMC and sustainability, and Benoît shares some intriguing information and what he has learned from his unique experiences.  We hope you enjoy listening to our fascinating conversation with Benoît Sauvage today! Bio: Benoît Sauvage, DMCP, CMP, CITP is the founder and CEO of Connect DMC, a leading Destination Management Company in the Dominican Republic and Mexico, as well as the founder and CEO of Hospitality Sustainability Revolution (HSR), a leading consulting firm for hospitality stakeholders worldwide.  Ben was born in Paris, France, and has lived and worked on 3 continents over the years. He brings 25 years of experience in delivering high-end and complex services as a destination expert to worldwide clients and has a passion for creativity, attention to detail, and sustainable practices. Organizing travel and meetings for presidents Benoît's dad worked for the French Presidential and Prime Ministerial press for twenty-five years, arranging all their overseas trips. He was involved with some of the world's highest decision-makers. As a young man, Benoît got given the chance to join him, to organize all the French Presidential and Prime Ministerial official State Travels. Benoît learned most of what he knows from his father. He loved having the opportunity to collaborate with him. A revelation It was a revelation for Benoît to discover that decisions that can impact the world sometimes get made over a cup of coffee or a drink. It is all about humans doing business with humans. In the end, it all boils down to humans sitting down together to find the best solutions for their country and the world.  The human approach Benoît tries to apply the same human approach in his company and in all his collaborations. Mexico Benoît could have followed the same path as his dad, but he wanted to do something on his own. He had some great memories of backpacking in Mexico during a summer break, so he decided to move there. He left a month later with one bag and a thousand dollars in his bank account. After arriving in Mexico, he contacted someone he knew who owned a trans-global vacation company, and they gave him a job.  His destination When Benoît arrived back in France, the owner of the trans-global company contacted him to offer him a destination of his own. He accepted before even knowing it was in the Dominican Republic! Establishing himself in the Dominican Republic After that, Benoît worked in Africa, Sri Lanka, Spain, and various other countries before he finally established himself in the Dominican Republic twenty-three years ago and opened Connect DMC.  Covid Most people want to know if and when Covid will stop.  Overcoming challenges Benoît advises everyone to be resilient when facing challenges in life and trust that this too shall pass.  Classify your challenges Classify your challenges each day and determine which one is most important. Go through that challenge, resolve it, and move on. Then tackle the next challenge.  Know your company Get to know yourself and everything about your company. Make sure everyone you collaborate with shares the same values and culture you want to implement in your company and consider the value you bring to others within your organization. Company culture You spend more time at your company than you do at home. So your business has to be a happy place where you can express yourself, grow as an individual, and grow your career.  Connect DMC's recruitment process The Director of Human Resources at Connect DMC contacts all the candidates that could be a good fit for the company to find out if they are available, what they need, where they are in their career, how they want to grow, and where they want to be. Then, the supervisor that the candidate would report to will interview the candidate and narrow it down to three of the best candidates. Then Benoît makes the final call. When they hire someone, they train them well, which usually ensures that they stay with the company for a long time.  A family-owned company Connect DMC is a family-owned company, and they are very flexible. All their employees have to have similar views and share the same culture.  Demonstrating your value To demonstrate your value, know yourself and your culture and find simple ways to express that to your clients. Unique experiences  Connect DMC is known for having destinations that are not easy to operate. Reliable transportation is easy to find, but Connect DMC is everything before, after, and in between. They are about creativity, uniqueness, and using the right talents for their client's needs, goals, and objectives. They create experiences that people could never find anywhere else.  Things that set you apart from the rest Anyone can make a promise, but what truly matters, and sets you apart from the rest, is how you deliver, how well you run your operation, and whether you can foresee something that might happen before it happens. It is vital to ensure that your clients are always satisfied. If they are not, you must correct the problem immediately.  Sustainability Sustainability is not only about caring for the environment. It is also caring about communities, collaborators, and attendees. Connect DMC's involvement with local communities sets them apart from all other DMCs. Sustainability in the meetings and events industry The industry has a three-pillar approach to sustainability:  People Planet Profit To avoid failure, you need to concentrate on sustainability from environmental, societal, and economic aspects. Benoît's journey into sustainability Benoît got involved with sustainability seven years ago after thinking about the kind of world he would leave for his sons. After spending seven years learning about sustainability, he wanted to share his knowledge with those around him, so he began speaking about it in the hospitality industry. Since then, he has constantly been showing up wherever there is a need for speeches on sustainability. Space travel Lately, Benoît has developed a passion for space travel and the conquest of Mars.  Hospitality Sustainability Revolution About two years ago, Benoît opened Hospitality Sustainability Revolution, a consulting company on sustainability. One of their clients is a famous travel to space company. That opened his eyes to how easily the solutions found for the conquest of Mars and the International Space Station could also resolve many of the issues we currently face around food, water, and waste management. Some simple steps business owners can implement for sustainability Do not greenwash! Greenwashing is the enemy of sustainability. Reduce the impact of carbon emissions by sharing transportation. Switch off lights and computers at night. Reduce the amount of waste you produce. Finding solutions as an industry We must step away from fear and learn to sit down together as an industry and embrace the industry and sustainability together to find solutions when challenges arise. For face-to-face experiences, we need to make sure that we can gather the data, reduce the emissions, and compensate for whatever we cannot reduce.
