There's belief a man who killed a second time after being found insane after a killing more than two decades ago shouldn't have been released. RNZ has revealed the man was recently found not guilty of murder by way of insanity again - as he'd believed the victim was possessed. He'd been a special patient under the Mental Health Act, but was freed more than 10 years ago. The Government's Chief Victims Advisor, Ruth Money, say she'd like a Royal Commission inquiry of how people are assessed to ensure they won't reoffend. "People are going on to kill - and it is not good enough. It's too dangerous for the community and there needs to be a level of inquiry that has teeth."

Last year, Peter Dutton confirmed to Peter Fegan that he would commit to a Royal Commission into domestic violence. Today, the Opposition Leader was asked the same question, but with a different answer. Opposition Leader Peter Dutton told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "It's a dirge, and you can spend a lot of money on a Royal Commission, and you can make lawyers rich, and then you end up with recommendations that seem pretty obvious anyway." "I think change is certainly required, and I think we need to do more." "If a Royal Commission is required then yes, but whatever it takes to reduce violence against women and children, and make our communities safer, my whole career has been based on that," the Opposition Leader continued.

Key Insights: • Smart governance enables smart cities: Success depends more on leadership, architecture, and inclusive policy than on technology alone. • The 5S framework drives decision-making: Stability, scalability, solution integration, security, and sustainability help prioritize city tech projects. • Public-private partnerships expand access: Toronto's free community internet project shows how tech can close affordability gaps, not just improve infrastructure. • Community voice builds trust: Toronto's digital strategy was shaped by town halls and diverse stakeholder input, ensuring transparency and relevance. • Scaling innovation requires cultural change: Empowering staff at all levels with clear processes and leadership sponsorship is key to sustainable adoption.   IoT ONE database: https://www.iotone.com/case-studies Industrial IoT Spotlight podcast is produced by Asia Growth Partners (AGP): https://asiagrowthpartners.com/

There aren’t many songs that evoke the meaning of ANZAC Day better than ‘I Was Only 19’ by Redgum which was written and sung by John Schumann. John is returning to the music scene with the Vagabond Crew and their latest song is called Fishing Net in the Rain. John Schumann told Luke Bradnam on 4BC Breakfast, "This [Fishing Net In The Rain] came out of the Royal Commission into Veteran Suicide." "I've got a long interest in mental health, which I learned about when I wrote I was only 19 and I put Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, I suppose, back in the national conversation, not deliberately, just quite unconsciously." "So I became a bit interested and I watched the Royal Commission into Veterans Suicide and it's always something that's harrowed me," Mr Schumann said. "We send these people away to do jobs, to wear our uniforms overseas and when they come back, they'll come back with physical injury sometimes." "Often they'll come back with psychological injuries, which aren't visible, but they are injuries, none the same." "We have to tell these stories," John Schumann continued.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

David Worldon is the Founder of Accelerated Innovation, a boutique management consultancy specialising in insurance innovation. Last year they  saved  Australia's largest insurers half a million dollars in fees and shaved a full year off their growth timelines. David has recently published the 2025 General Insurance Innovation Report, assessing and ranking how Australia's largest insurers are innovating to address key industry challenges such as climate change, underinsurance, and rising premiums. His goal is to save leaders $20m in fees and 40 years of waiting to get shit done. David is also the host of Accelerated Innovation's Innovation Insider podcast, which is available at https://acceleratedinnovation.com.au/innovation-insider/ Episode SummaryThe video features a discussion centered around the Australian insurance market, highlighting its unique dynamics, challenges, and opportunities for innovation. Here are the key points: Market Dynamics: The Australian insurance market is characterized by a high level of concentration, with a significant portion of the market share held by a few major players. This concentration influences competition and innovation within the industry. Regulatory Environment: The industry is highly regulated, with recent interventions aimed at addressing systemic issues, particularly following a Royal Commission that scrutinized the sector for malpractice. This has led to a culture of risk aversion among insurers. Innovation Focus: There is a growing emphasis on innovation, particularly in risk mitigation and preparing for natural disasters. Insurers are shifting their strategies to not only rebuild after disasters but to enhance infrastructure and resilience for future events. Collaboration and Growth: Insurers are beginning to collaborate more effectively with each other and with government entities to address challenges such as underinsurance and protection gaps. This collaborative approach is seen as a pathway to strengthening the market. Future Outlook: The discussion suggests a positive outlook for the next five to ten years, with expectations of increased appetite for risk and innovation. The market is viewed as ripe for new entrants, particularly global digital players, which could disrupt traditional distribution models. Personal vs. Commercial Lines: Innovation is more pronounced in personal lines of insurance, particularly through direct sales channels. The commercial lines are slower to innovate, focusing primarily on enhancing broker experiences.

Last year, South Australia convened a Royal Commission into Family Violence amid concern about a spike in domestic violence related assaults and deaths across the country. It's estimated that in Australia, one woman is killed by an intimate partner every 11 days. And across Australia, just over 1 in 4 women experience partner violence or abuse, while for men it's 1 in 7. In this episode of the Too Hard Basket, we explore just what evidence the Royal Commission is uncovering about how public officials respond to this violence, and the effectiveness of the institutions meant to protect victims.

In this episode we have the honor of sitting down with Australian researcher, Ms. Carolyn Heward, lead author of “A Scoping Review of Military Culture, Military Identity, and Mental Health Outcomes in Military Personnel”. Listen in as we discuss the complexity of military culture's impact on military identity and its effect on mental health. We'll dig into the Military Identity Model (MIM) and types of identities such as loyal, warrior, hidden and disrupted. But most importantly we'll consider the clinical benefits of including military identity into case formulation, treatment planning and EBP work. As Heward says “identity work is clinical work” and we couldn't agree more. Carolyn Heward is a Senior Lecturer in Clinical Psychology at James Cook University in Townsville, Queensland, Australia, where she teaches in the Master of Psychology (Clinical) program while conducting research on military identity construction and its implications for psychological wellbeing. As a Clinical Psychologist with extensive experience working with the Australian Defence Force (ADF), she brings valuable insights to the intersection of military culture and mental health, particularly through her perspective that identity work is fundamental to clinical practice. Her recent scoping review on military culture, identity, and mental health has contributed to understanding the unique challenges faced by service members, while her current doctoral research explores the construction of military identity within the ADF and its clinical implications. Drawing from her clinical experience, Carolyn's work focuses on developing integrated approaches to clinical psychology that move beyond cultural formulations to address individual identity construction. She has also contributed to public discourse on military mental health through The Conversation, publishing articles on military identity and providing analysis of the Australian Government's response to the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide.Resources mentioned in this episode: Carolyn Heward, Wendy Li, Ylona Chun Tie, Pippa Waterworth, A Scoping Review of Military Culture, Military Identity, and Mental Health Outcomes in Military Personnel, Military Medicine, Volume 189, Issue 11-12, November/December 2024, Pages e2382–e2393, https://doi.org/10.1093/milmed/usae276Practical for Your Practice voice mail: speakpipe.com/cdpp4pPractical for Your Practice email: cdp-podcast-ggg@usuhs.edu

Our guest today is Hugh Mackay who describes the current level of anxiety in Australia as an epidemic. The level of income inequality in Australia is growing, public education is under-resourced and our children are falling behind when compared to other first world countries. And at a time when we need them most we are losing faith in our major institutions namely the Church, our elected parliamentarians who are supposed to be acting in the country’s interest, the major banks and even the families who give us security. Right now all of these are under threat. Over half of marriages end in divorce in the first ten years leaving children in the lurch. The two Royal Commissions that have investigated banking and before that institutional abuse of children have revealed some of the worst abuses of power. Podcast (mp3)

The Royal Commission of Inquiry requested an apology, after establishing a pattern of abuse. Temple thanked those who'd reported it - and accepted the Commission's Safety of Care recommendation. But former member John Ready says the apology was insincere - and shows a complete lack of understanding of the damage caused.

Much of the talk inside and outside of Saudi Arabia is about the Kingdom's giga-projects. Can they be done? Will their impact match or exceed the investment? Although 6 giga-projects are now actively being built in Saudi Arabia, none are the first. Jubail Industrial City is the original, and as the first successful giga-project, offers a blueprint for the successful completion and economic payoff of other giga-projects as the Kingdom transforms.   Jubail Industrial City in Saudi Arabia is hosting the Sixth International Conference on Learning Cities 2024. Representatives of UNESCO learning cities from around the world are descending on Jubail to attend the event and discuss strategies for promoting climate action through lifelong learning.   The important conference comes as Jubail celebrates 50 years since its inception - from a greenfield desert and remains of an old fishing village to the world's largest industrial city, accounting for an astonishing 7% of Saudi Arabia's GDP. Through one of the greatest collaborations in Saudi history between U.S.-based Bechtel, with a long track record of success in Saudi projects, and the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu, the city of Jubail is a story of achievement for ambitious projects in Saudi Arabia.   Before the DEEPDIVE on Jubail, the hosts discuss Thanksgiving in Saudi Arabia and traditions during the American holiday week, and also discuss the successful opening of Riyadh's metro project this week. After the DEEPDIVE, the hosts get to some of the latest news topics driving the day in the Kingdom.
