After 30 years criss-crossing regional Queensland, it's the end of the road for Skytrans – not for the airline itself, which will keep flying, but for the name. New owner Avia Solutions Group is rebranding the carrier as SmartLynx Australia, echoing some of its other brands overseas. Along with the name change will come a new paint job for the airline's existing aircraft, with the Skytrans livery to be covered in neutral white, allowing the planes to be more easily used for wet leasing and charter flights when needed – but for Queenslanders who know and love the Skytrans brand, will the change prove a turn-off? Jake and guest host David Hollingworth examine the pros and cons of the change, and whether all-white planes are an appealing prospect for passengers. Plus, scrappy upstart Koala Airlines is back in the news – but does its ambition of launching domestic services by the end of next year hold much water?

Early in life Lindsay Hatch was totally focused on becoming a jockey and was able to make that happen, albeit for a very short time. Apprenticed to his father Geoff, young Lindsay lasted only 3 years before his weight got out of control but it's fair to say he left his mark with more than 80 wins, including 30 in Brisbane and a Gold Coast apprentices premiership. He later learned the training craft from some of Australia's most successful horsemen before settling into a full time solo career at Toowoomba- a career that has so far brought him two Toowoomba premierships. The Lindsay Hatch story makes for a very interesting podcast, and we're delighted to present it this week. Lindsay begins by singing the praises of his talented mare Wanda Rox who scored a dashing win at EF on Sat July 19th. It was her fourth win at headquarters. Lindsay talks about his dual operation in Queensland with stables at Toowoomba and Townsville. He outlines the reason for the establishment of a northern base. He acknowledges the professionalism of his Townsville stable manager Martin Haley. Lindsay says the toughest part of the job is the endless travelling between coastal racing venues.  He talks of his 40 horse team at Toowoomba. Lindsay remembers childhood days at Blackall and a subsequent move to Ayr in sugar cane country. He looks back on his low key job with top trainer Bruce McLachlan in Brisbane. All he wanted to do was become a jockey. At this point his father Geoff made the important decision to apprentice his son. Lindsay looks back on a fleeting riding career before rapidly increasing weight brought an end to his dream. His three years in the saddle were not without rewards. He looks back on the freakish stroke of luck that would change his life. With the help of a friend, Lindsay became a trackwork rider for Tommy Smith who was a regular in Brisbane at carnival time. That association was destined to last for several years. He remembers one outstanding horse he got to ride in trackwork. Lindsay talks of a move back to Brisbane and a job with talented trainer Kelso Wood. He looks back on a trip to the famous Cairns Amateurs with a few mates. He intended to stay for a week, but was still there three years later. During that time his training career had a low key start. On returning to Brisbane Lindsay would meet the lady destined to become his wife and the mother of his two children. Tracey wasn't from a racing background but quickly learned the ropes. Lindsay brings us up to date with the current activities of son Thomas and daughter Jade. The trainer looks back on a fateful decision he made in 2010. Unhappy with the Toowoomba Turf Club's decision to install a synthetic track, he applied for a job with John Sadler in Melbourne. He landed that job and loved every  minute of the experience.  Lindsay takes us back to the second phase of his Victorian experience- a stint with Team Snowden during which time he worked with some classy horses. He recalls his return to Queensland and a whole new career experience courtesy of old friend Tony Gollan. The talented trainer acknowledges some of the horses who've helped shape his career. Lindsay recalls the thrill of his recent win in the Battle Of The Bush Final with Peshwa ridden by his former apprentice Angela Jones. He pays tribute to the young lady who's on the brink of history as the current season draws to a close. He speaks highly of Angela's partner Kyle Wilson-Taylor who spent part of his apprenticeship with the Hatch stable. Lindsay looks back on the two lowest points of his fifty year involvement in racing. He talks of the shock bowel cancer diagnosis he was handed by doctors in 2017, and the twelve months disqualification he incurred when one of his horses returned a swab positive to cobalt in 2024. The disqualification was eventually replaced by a hefty fine.  It's a laid back chat with a true blue Queenslander who wouldn't swap his lot in life for “quids”.

A parliamentary petition advocating for "Castle Law" in Queensland has rapidly gained over 42,000 signatures in less than two weeks.

Various road rules across Australia have changed from Tuesday, 1 July 2025. NSW has introduced harsher penalties for drivers using their mobile phones. In Victoria, the road rule requiring drivers to slow down to 40 km/h for emergency responders will now also include tow trucks, roadside assistance, and incident response workers. Meanwhile, Queenslanders will experience a 3.4 per cent increase in vehicle registration fees, as well as higher traffic fines. And nationally, AI-powered surveillance cameras capable of detecting mobile phone use will be rolled out, as governments crack down on distracted driving. To discuss how these newer rules may impact Nepali-speaking communities, SBS Nepali spoke to Udaya Adhikari (NSW), Jamuna Adhikari Rijal (Victoria), Chhabilal Lamichhane (SA), Ashesh Maharjan (Queensland), Pradip Dhungana (ACT), Dipesh Lamsal (WA), Sanjeev Hamal (Tasmania), and Bishnu Chapagain (NT). - नयाँ आर्थिक वर्षको सुरुवातसँगै मङ्गलवार, जुलाई १ देखि अस्ट्रेलियाका विभिन्न राज्य तथा प्रदेशहरूका सडक नियमहरूमा केही फेरबदल भएका छन्। जस्तो कि न्यु साउथ वेल्समा मोबाइल चलाउँदै गाडी कुदाउने चालकहरूले थप कडा दण्ड पाउने छन् भने भिक्टोरियामा आपत्कालीन अवस्थामा गाडी ढुवानी गर्ने ‘टो ट्रक' वा सडक छेउ बिग्रेका सवारी मर्मत गर्ने ‘रोडसाइड असिस्ट' सेवा भएका बखत चालकहरूले आफ्नो गाडीको गति ४० किलोमिटर प्रतिघण्टाभन्दा बढी नहुने गरी हाँक्नुपर्नेछ। यस्तै गरी क्वीन्सल्यान्डमा भने सवारी दर्ता शुल्क र जरिमाना दुवै बढेको सवारी धनी तथा सवार चालकहरूले अनुभव गर्नेछन्। यसै विषयमा ‘ड्राइभिङ इन्सट्रक्टर'का रूपममा काम गरिरहनुभएका उदय अधिकारी (न्यु साउथ वेल्स), जमुना अधिकारी रिजाल (भिक्टोरिया), छविलाल लामिछाने (साउथ अस्ट्रेलिया), अशेष महर्जन (क्वीन्सल्यान्ड), प्रदिप ढुङ्गाना (एसीसटी), दिपेश लम्साल (वेस्टर्न अस्ट्रेलिया), सञ्जीव हमाल (टास्मेनिया) र विष्णु चापागाईँ (नर्दन टेरिट्री)सँग एसबीएस नेपालीले गरेको कुराकानी सुन्नुहोस्।

The Crisafulli Government will hand down its first budget today and although it's not a make or break there is a lot riding on it. This is a Government that promised to ease living pressures, they promised a better health services and more help for the housing industry. So what can you expect? Queensland Premier David Crisafulli told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "The sad part for the opposition and I don't want to dwell on them today, but the sad part for them is that the scare campaign ends." "It ends at two o'clock and they'll be humiliated for what was a pretty disgraceful election campaign and the fact that they've continued it afterwards." "But look, I really want Queenslanders to know that the things we said we were going to do on the other side of the election, we want to honour and we will honour today," the Premier said.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Luke Marlow's love affair with thoroughbreds can be traced to the days when he had photos of the champion mare Makybe Diva  prominently displayed on his bedroom walls. Around this time his parents were managing the Merlo Downs Stud at Minden about 63 kms west of Brisbane. Luke's life changed forever a couple of years later when Jeff Marlow took out a trainer's licence and quickly enlisted his son as principal trackwork rider.  By the time the teenager had ridden a few fast gallops and provided a guest call of a race at Yepoon in 2008, the die was cast. Just three years later the young Queenslander won the fourth edition of a Sky Racing Scholarship and was off and running in the career he'd dreamed about.  Now approaching his 32nd birthday, Luke Marlow is recognised as one of the most versatile performers in the Australian racing media. He joins us on the podcast to reflect on a whirlwind fourteen years since arriving in Sydney. He begins by confirming a very important recent development in his personal life.  Luke talks about the never-ending variety in his working life. He lives by the roster. He talks of the changing face of country racing in NSW where undreamed of prize money levels regularly attract the patronage of major Sydney stables. Official barrier trials are almost as frequent as TAB race meetings. Luke is frequently called upon to describe the trials for Sky Thoroughbred Central. He talks of his hosting role on the popular Saturday morning radio programme Racing HQ.  Luke's talks of the change in his situation when Sky's Number 2 caller Mitch Manners accepted a full time role with the Gold Coast Turf Club in 2023. He immediately became understudy to the station's chief caller Darren Flindell. In this capacity he's had the opportunity to call five editions of the Provincial Championship Final. The easy going Queenslander talks of early life in his home state with special mention of happy days at the Merlo Downs Thoroughbred Stud. He recalls his introduction to the task of riding trackwork for his father Jeff. Luke recounts the entertaining story of the day he was invited to call a race on the public address system at a Yepoon meeting in 2008. The winner was trained by his dad and owned by his grandmother. He still regards the occasion as one of the greatest thrills of his life. He pays tribute to Tony McMahon, the man who gave him the opportunity to call the race that helped shape his destiny. Luke takes us back to 2011 when he “made the cut” for the fourth Sky Young Race Caller's Scholarship. He looks back on a week of auditions culminating in a nerve wracking race call at Wyong.  He was in disbelief when the judges voted in his favour. Seven years after settling into his new job, Marlow was stunned to receive a phone call from the Singapore Turf Club who'd been left short of a race caller when Tom Wood relocated to Hong Kong. Luke agonised over the decision he had to make. He looks back on an exciting two years in the famous city-state with special emphasis on his meeting with the lovely Kiwi jockey now destined to become his wife. Luke talks about the ravages of Covid 19 and the soul destroying lockdown endured by all Singaporians. He and Alysha made the decision to return to Sydney.  He pays tribute to Alysha's work ethic and acknowledges her emergence as one of Sydney's most in demand jockeys. Luke explains how he manages to control his emotions when calling races in which his fiancee is competing. He talks about the legendary NZ racing family from which Alysha descends. It's a laid back chat with a young Queenslander whose career  path was never in doubt. All he needed was an ounce of luck to make the dream come true.
