We start this morning with something you already know: the number of New Zealanders moving to Australia is at its highest level in 12 years. And most of those moving are going to Australia – around 58% of those who are leaving say they're heading for Oz. Yet in the World Happiness Report, in terms of happiness, we rank ahead of Australia. We're 11th happiest, they come in at number 15 – the Nordic countries always take out the top spots. The report suggests New Zealand's more equal and less corrupt than Australia with greater freedom and social support, but these positives appear to be outweighed by per capita GDP. And if you're looking for reasons why 58% of those leaving New Zealand are moving to Oz, follow the money, honey. When you feel like you're being ground down by life, that you're working every hour God sends but you're not getting anywhere, it would be very tempting to see the pot of gold at the end of a short three hour flight across the ditch as the answer to everything. And sometimes it is. But there are downsides. Jack Tame looked at the reasons why the people he interviewed had left for Australia, what the advantages were, what the disadvantages were, and found that despite the money and the sun, the grass isn't always greener. James Houston left Palmerston North and the New Zealand Police, one of those we were talking about yesterday, to join the Queensland Police Service. “I did about six years back home in New Zealand in Palmerston North before resigning and coming over here. You've got the lifestyle, you've got the sun, you've got better pay. I think I increased my salary coming over here by about 60% and that's without any overtime. I've got two other officers here at Ferny Grove from my actual station back in Palmerston North, so it's not only me coming over to do it, it's a lot of other people. Some of the challenges I'd say is, you know, you don't have your family support around, especially in a role like this. In all honesty, mate, if we were to get the same perks back home as what we have over here, like you get a better salary, you know, you're looked after a bit better, I'd give up the sunshine, I'd give up the lifestyle. There'd be no doubt in my mind, mate, I'd go home.” That was James Houston speaking on Jack Tame's 1News special, “You, Me and Aussie”. And that's the thing though, isn't it? Like 60% more in your salary, we're never ever going to be able to offer that sort of money. Australia's economy is so much bigger than ours, there are so many more people, and their money is based on things that we won't countenance in this country, like mining. So we're not going to be able to pay the sort of money and that's the sacrifice you make. You know, as James said, he would he would give it up in a heartbeat if he got the same money back home because of the family support he gets. But he's not going to get that money, so that's the trade off. My kids sacrificed money for lifestyle, friends, and family support. They were living in London, they always said they would come home when they started a family. And selfishly, I'm very, very glad they did, although they had to weigh it up. They were earning really good money in the UK, but once they had kids, they wanted to come home. Money's important, very, very important, but so too are family ties and friendship groups. I've never lived and worked in Australia or indeed any other country, but I have many friends and family members who have, and it's family and friends that brought them back. As Jack's show referenced, it can be really lonely moving to a new country, especially if you don't have children. If you've got the children, then you can tend to meet people through the school groups, but if you don't have children, all you've got is your healthy salary. You have to work for it too. You know, those who are working in the mines, it is not a doddle. You have to be strong and you have to have a strong relationship to be able to withstand that. If you have no one but each other to share the good times with, it can be really, really tough. You've got the story of the police officers moving to Australia and the interview with James on Jack Tame's show last night. You've got New Zealanders moving to Oz at the highest level it's been in more than a decade. For those who have family and friends over there, how are they finding it? If you are over there and listening in Oz, and I know there's a number who are, how are you finding it? And if you are young and you are grinding away, why aren't you there yet? Why haven't you made the leap across the ditch? If you can earn 60% more than you're earning in this country? There's no way you can compete on money. No way New Zealand can. So what is keeping you here? And for those who've been and gone and worked in Oz and come home, what brought you back? Those who have made the move to Oz, love to hear from you or your friends and family. Those who haven't gone, what is keeping you here? For me, when all my friends were heading overseas to live and work, do the big OE, I had a job on Fair Go. I was 20/21 had a great job in television, then at 23 I was pregnant, so I wasn't going anywhere. And then once you have a child, it's somewhat more difficult to move. So if you are still in New Zealand, you know, sort of transferring money between accounts as you wait for payday, what's keeping you here? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
On this week's podcast, I speak with former Queensland QPS Police veteran Brendan Haley BM. Joining the QUEENSLAND Police Service aged 18 years, Brendan spent 33 years serving the Queensland community in a variety of locations and roles. Starting his career in the shadow of Queensland's Fitzgerald Commission into police corruption, this young rural kid was thrust into intense urban policing, and the violence and challenges of early 90s policing. His journey would see him move around the state through a variety of roles from general policing, dog squad, country and regional policing, crime squad, operational police leadership before ending his policing career in counter terrorism. His professional journey, in some of Queensland's most notorious areas, left a permanent mark on his being, resulting in diagnosis of PTSD, broken marriages and questions on the fairness of life, particularly after the death of his youngest son. Despite these challenges, tough times drew out his resilience, strength of character and courage to repeatedly place his life on the line for the community he chose to service, with formal recognition of his fortitude culminating in him being recognised by the police service and the Australian community through the awarding of official meritorious certificates and medals, culminating in award of the Australian Bravery Medal. Although Brendan has left policing, he continues to serve his nation, moving into a defence role and taking these experiences and fortitude into a new domain. This is his story it is raw and honest and is a behind the scenes look at what police face on a day-to-day basis to protect our communities, and the cost of that service.

News of Silent Keys:- Greg Ackman VK4BBX and Ray Hinks VK4LU Sad news to report that TARC Life Member Ray Hinks VK4LU has gone Silent Key. Ray was a former member of the Queensland Police Service, a foundation member of the Townsville Civil Defence Volunteers, and a volunteer with the Townsville Division of the Queensland State Emergency Service. Ray came to Australia with his family from the UK when only a nipper but could remember the bleak weather in Blighty. He much enjoyed the tropical weather of Townsville, constantly scoffed the weather boffins' forecast for rain and rugged up well when the temperature in North Queensland dipped below 15C. Ray did great things for theTARCinc, serving as Treasurer and also setting up through the local federal members of Parliament permission to print the magazine of renown, Back-scatter, an arrangement that continues to this day. While in good health, Ray was also active on HF and out in the field, helping with many comms support events. He enjoyed holidays away fruit picking and occasionally touring the Cape in his old but reliable Hi-Lux van (he went places with the 2-wheel drive vehicle many 4WD drivers would avoid) and always said that he would be lucky to see 70years old. Well, he made it to 92. During the last year, Rays's health started to decline even more, and a diagnosis of Stage 4 Cancer sealed the deal. He enrolled in the Volunteer Assisted Dying scheme, set his affairs in order and went Silent Key in Townsville University Hospital on Friday, 23rd January at 0400UTC. Before passing between 0335 and 0338UTC Ray's daughter Yvette, went on-air as Ray's Second Operator through the Townsville VHF Repeater and asked for any stations to send Ray any last messages. TARC Club Station VK4WIT responded, wishing Ray good DX and best journeys on his DXpedition in the next world. Ray's funeral was a private service attended by family members. Vale Ray Hinks VK4LU - Silent Key. VK4BBX Two men died in a light plane crash north of the Gold Coast shortly after taking off from a private airstrip at about 6 am on Tuesday en route to a small town near Tamworth in NSW. Police have confirmed the 73-year-old pilot from Beenleigh and his male passenger, believed to be from Sydney, died at the scene. They were the only occupants of the plane which came down just after take-off in bushland in Jacobs Well, near the Heck Field Airstrip, shortly before 6 am on Tuesday. The Pilot? VK4BBX Greg Ackman Greg was the founder of Mobile One antennas. He built the business from a garage-based operation during the 1970s. He became a ham in late 2021. VK4BBX was a familiar face in the Australian amateur radio community, often showcasing Mobile One products at field days and events. Vale VK4BBX.

Hi, I'm Coach James Short, host of the Leading and Growing Your Real Estate Business podcast — where we explore the mindsets, habits, and strategies behind extraordinary leaders who thrive through challenge and change. In this powerful episode, I'm joined by Darren Smith, a former senior leader with the Queensland Police Service turned business coach and leadership specialist. With over 36 years of experience leading people through chaos, Darren has seen firsthand what makes or breaks leaders in moments of crisis. From natural disasters to corporate breakdowns, Darren reveals the psychology and structure behind exceptional crisis leadership — and introduces his proven BY CRISIS model, an eight-phase framework that helps leaders stay calm, make sound decisions, and protect their reputation when everything seems to be falling apart. His real-world insights, drawn from decades of public service and business consulting, offer a masterclass in emotional intelligence, preparation, and resilience. ✨ Key Takeaways: ✅ Crisis is inevitable — strong leadership determines how you emerge. ✅ Calmness under pressure sets the tone for everyone around you. ✅ Treat people as individuals, not just roles or resources. ✅ The first six hours of a crisis are critical — prepare before it hits. ✅ Transparent communication builds trust and protects your brand. ✅ The BY CRISIS model provides an eight-step roadmap for managing chaos with clarity and control. This episode will change how you think about leadership — not just in times of crisis, but every single day.

We speak with John Kilburn, Regional Industry Leader of SAS, Silver Sponsor at the World Police Summit 2025, held at the Dubai World Trade Centre 13-15 May. As the Regional Industry Leader – Law Enforcement and Public Safety at SAS, John leads the development and strengthening of partnerships with Law Enforcement and Public Safety agencies across emerging markets in EMEA and the Asia Pacific region. The role involves driving SAS engagement with heads of investigation, agency leaders, and transformation officers, assisting to revolutionize their digital investigative and intelligence culture through the rationalisation and adoption of cutting-edge technology.With a distinguished 27-year career in Law Enforcement, John served as a Detective Senior Sergeant with the Queensland Police Service, where he specialized in criminal investigations, security intelligence, and counter-terrorism. In the late 1960s, eight Southern universities came together to develop a general purpose statistical software package to analyze agricultural data. NC State had always been a leader in developing code for analyzing agricultural data. It was a natural fit to house the project at the university's Cox Hall because the mainframe there could process enormous amounts of data.The resulting program – the Statistical Analysis System – gave SAS both the basis for its name and its corporate beginnings.Since then, SAS has grown to become one of the largest privately held software companies in the world.MySecurity Media were media partners to the WPS 2025. #Worldpolicesummit #wps2025 #mysecuritytv

Learn what happens inside a police station so you can take those next steps with confidence instead of being afraid of the unknown. Inspector Dwyer provides valuable insights into the steps that people can take, the evidence required, and the support available to them. Don't Miss Out On These Key Points: Understanding the Process: Inspector Dwyer outlines the process of reporting domestic violence incidents, emphasising the importance of collecting evidence such as witness statements or medical reports. Follow-up and Communication: Victims should expect proactive communication from police officers, who are responsible for keeping them informed about the progress of their case. Dealing with Insufficient Evidence: If you feel your case has been dismissed prematurely, seek advice from a domestic violence coordinator or specialist within the police station. Coercive Control: Report patterns of coercive behaviour to the police. Safety Planning: Create a safety plan with the help of domestic violence service providers to mitigate risks associated with reporting abuse. Interstate Orders: Orders issued in one state are recognized nationally, ensuring protection for victims even if they move or travel to another state. Training and Awareness: Details on how the Queensland Police Service has invested in extensive training for its officers to recognize and respond effectively to domestic violence situations, including victim-centric, trauma-informed practices. Empowerment and Hope: Inspector Dwyer underscores the commitment to eradicating domestic violence and offers reassurance that victims survivors have support and resources available to them.
