A new and immersive contemporary arts festival is scheduled for the picturesque South Coast town of Berry from June 22 to 25, 2023. OpenField Arts Festival will showcase contemporary art in and around the town in unique non-museum venues, including halls, community spaces and natural reserves. Festival Co-Director and acclaimed Australian musician Lenka Kripac, a local Shoalhaven resident, speaks with Tim Stackpool about the increasing numbers of artists and professionals moving to the region due to its unique beauty and lifestyle, and the increasing desire for cultural engagement. Fostered by a local group of creatives, the largely-free festival has already confirmed 21 high calibre artists, including critically acclaimed photo media artist and local resident Tamara Dean.  Other celebrated artists participating in the festival that have chosen to base themselves in the Shoalhaven include Glenn Barkley, Sophie Cape, Sarah Enright, Anna Glynn, James Gulliver Hancock, Bonnie Porter Green, and Michael Purdy. They will exhibit alongside visiting artists including Tina Fox, Claire Healy and Sean Cordeiro, Jess MacNeil, and Emma Saunders.

Prayer is 'absurd' in politics: Greens MP The NSW Greens have renewed a push to abolish Christian prayers in state parliament, saying the tradition is "absurd" and alienating to the general community. "I think it is absurd," Greens MP Abigail Boyd told AAP of the tradition. "When I worked at Kmart, we did not have to stand and listen to The Lord's Prayer before we opened all the registers up," she added. "I think most people in the real world think that it is quite extraordinary." Momentum to remove the Christian tradition from public institutions is growing across the country, according to Rationalist Society of Australia president Meredith Doig. "People are wanting change, and that includes change to the tradition of privileging one religion over another," Dr Doig told AAP. NSW councils including Shoalhaven and Wagga Wagga had already opted to switch to a moment of quiet reflection, she said. In Victoria, the Mildura Rural Council has received a motion from councillor Jodi Reynolds to replace prayer with an affirmation. "A prayer is something that is said in your home (or) in your church. The council chamber is a workplace," Ms Reynolds said. The tradition also stifled diversity on the council, she said. "The more diversity that you can get in any governing body ... the more that chamber can represent your community, the better decisions you make." "A prayer is something that is said in your home (or) in your church. The council chamber is a workplace," Ms Reynolds said. Ms Boyd previously launched an unsuccessful motion to have the prayer removed in 2019. Any motion to remove the prayer from Australian parliaments would not be supported by Liberal MP Tanya Davies. "It is a reminder to all MPs to serve with humility, conviction, compassion, justice and equity," she told AAP. A spokesperson from NSW Labor said they did not support the motion. Motions to alter the tradition were stridently opposed by outgoing Labor MP Walt Secord, whose office was inundated with calls against the idea when it was first floated. "Surprisingly adherents to non-Christian faiths, including Hindus and Muslims, saw it as an attack on all people of faith, not just The Lord's Prayer," he said in 2019. This is just my opinion.

Cricket season has finally arrived, and after three seasons that have been impacted by bushfires, COVID-19 and endless flooding rain, cricketers on the South Coast are hoping that 2022/23 can provide a relatively interruption-free season of hard fought cricket. The combining of the 1st Grade competition of teams from both the South Coast and Shoalhaven areas has added a touch of intrigue to the new season, and a full 22 rounds of cricket to decide just who is the number one cricket club in the area.  It has all led me to offer you my unqualified, uninformed, uninteresting preview of the upcoming 1st Grade season, by running through the recent three seasons of both competitions, and then a fairly broadly rambling assessment of all of the teams involved, based solely on MyCricket and what little knowledge I have retained. So if that kind of thing interests you, climb aboard, for this episode of the podcast that continues to offer less informed views than Brendan Julien's commentary, Thoughts from the Metal Cavern. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/metalcavern/message

Sussex Inlet: The Forgotten NSW Rural South Coast Town – Part 2 The recent floods that hit Eastern States of Qld, Northern NSW and Sydney regions also hit the NSW South Coast area. Sussex Inlet is one such township that was hit by the recent floods. As a coastal region the area's residents have to contend with not only flood disasters but also bushfire disasters. As such one would think that governments of all levels would be prepared to meet any potential disaster head on, working in conjunction with the local communities in the Shoalhaven local government area. Sadly as you listen to this episode (and also part 2); the state of preparedness is left up to local residents to do as best they can. Sussex Inlet is one such forgotten township in NSW and is under no illusion that it is the only one, even in the Shoalhaven area. Join Reality Bytes hosts: Desley Casey and Susan Pavlic as they discuss the issues, challenges and dilemmas the residents of the Sussex Inlet area do face; along with a range of practical strategies to support the residents and local government with 3 Sussex Inlet Residents: Nikki, Raye and Sandra. Discussion includes, however, not limited to: Disaster recovery strategies Shoalhaven Council Disaster Recovery Support Officers and supports Giving Donations Flood Insurance Sussex Inlet Roads And, so much more.

Rachel Kent, CEO of Bundanon, talks about the upcoming official launch of the new Art Museum and Bridge for Creative Learning, located within one of the greatest philanthropic contributions to Australian arts, established by Arthur and Yvonne Boyd.  Embedded within the landscape, the new 500m2 Bundanon Art Museum will present a year-round program of exhibitions of modern, contemporary, and First Nations art, as well as new commissions. It includes a state-of-the-art storage facility that will house and protect Bundanon's extensive $46.5 million collection of some 4,000 items.  The build has been supported by a $22.5 million investment from the Australian Government, $10.3 million from the NSW Government, and philanthropic support. The $34 million project will drive visitation and cultural tourism to the Shoalhaven region.  The Australian Government, in the last budget, announced additional uplift funding of $6 million over two years.

Every once in a while you connect deeply, completely and with absolute alignment with someone whose lived experience has been what you aspire to be. To find someone with whom I align so cohesively with living only a few kilometres across the mountains from my home and to have the opportunity to spend time with them and begin to get to know them is both an honour and a revelation.Welcome to the conversation co-created with Mickey Kovari, which we recorded side-by-side in ‘the Shoalhaven studio' in the workspace of my homeplace.Mickey is someone who describes himself as being uncomfortable with leading – despite having held role commonly associated with leadership, most recently as Deputy CEO of the National Aboriginal Sporting Chance Academy and currently co-Founder of Native Foodways. Mickey prefers to think of his work as fellowship or community-ship, working in collaboration with First Nations peoples and enterprises. He has worked for a number of Indigenous-led social enterprises over the past 15 years.Our conversation focuses on Mickey's contribution through his work and his experience and insights into the essential need to, and benefits of centring First Nations ways of knowing, doing, and being. We discuss caring for Country and healing Country including regenerative or agroecological farming and land management as well as regenerative resource-use including clean energy and a focus on degrowth, and thus a rethink of capitalism. Caring for Culture, valuing, enriching, and practicing culture as a way to deepen meaning, expression, connection, and belonging and bringing more of a focus on language, art, dance, story and how they lead to wellbeing. Caring for Community, the rise of social enterprise and impact investment as a way to connect large amounts of powerful capital with meaningful and regenerative work and employment that employ community and serve community. Also the ongoing investment in community wellbeing programs, which are always best when linked to regenerative business model or framework so it can be linked in with the production of necessary goods and servicesWe look forward to hearing from you via our socials and emails is there's anything you would like to discuss or share in response to this conversation. You can reach out to either of us via the link below.I've also been compiling my thoughts and reflections on this, and each of the conversations I co-create with Better World Leaders, in our Medium publication as well as on the 4i website, which you can find links to below.Here's a review of the key messages from this episode;Systems thinking- What's the best contribution we can make to the system to address the major systemic issues?- When you talk about anything, you talk about everything- It's our job as privileged white people to work on white people to dismantle the problematic systems- We live every day in systems of white supremacyFirst Nations ways of knowing, doing & being- Many people don't appreciate the significance of food & food sovereignty- Less than 1% of First Nations peoples benefit economically from the native food system- It's being recognised that First Nations knowledge is the most regenerative type of knowledge- Ethical investment associations are prioritising investments which centre First Nations ways of knowing, being & doing- Coming into new cultural relationships with respect and without assumptions, appreciating how hard it is to do this.- We should take as much responsibility as individuals and as a collective as is inline with our wellbeingLeading- Leaders are people who adapt a form of leading for a specific period of time- Leading is something that is not given, therefore cannot be taken away. It is distributed and highly contextual.- When you think about leadership, you think about followers. When you think about fellowship, you think about fellows.- It's always about community endorsed leadership without any source of cohesionHere's the list of books we referred to, and the link to the video we created directly after recording this episode in which Mickey introduces each of these works;- Treading Lightly, Tex Skuthorpe & Karl-Erik Sveiby- Fire Country, Victor Stefanson- Dark Emu, Bruce Pascoe- Wandu Mai, Damian Culthard- Braiding Sweetgrass, Robin Wall Kimmerer- The Call of the Reed Warbler- Here's the link to the YouTube ‘Knowledge Quest' live stream in which Mickey adds a little more info about each of the resources we've shared – plus 1 more he snuck in!! - https://youtu.be/t0FaIV2qvkUFollow Mickey via the links below, and also grab a copy of her book (if you haven't done so already!):https://nativefoodways.com.au/https://www.instagram.com/nativefoodways/https://www.linkedin.com/company/native-foodwayshttps://www.facebook.com/nativefoodwayshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/mickeykovari/https://twitter.com/mickeykovariHere's the link to the fundraising campaign ‘Blakcede' by Waminda as Mickey mentioned right at the end of the show, please consider giving generously to this awesome cause.https://www.chuffed.org/project/support-wamindas-blakcedeFollow Tim and join the Better World Leaders community via the links below:linkedin.com/in/timcollingslinkedin.com/company/better-world-leadersinstagram.com/timcollingslifedownsouthtimcollings-betterworldleaders.medium.comLink to article reflecting on this episode on Medium here -youtube @timcollings – click here for channelEpisode Pages for this episode and all previous Better World Leaders conversations available here;4ileadership.com/category/better-world-leadersAs always, great thanks and appreciation to the team who contributed to bringing Better World Leaders to you;To Brendan Ward for mastering, final production, composition and performance of original music throughout each episode.To Cooper, Pat and the team at RadioHub studios for audio editing, technical support and creative guidance during the episodes that are recorded face-to-face.

The regional areas of NSW abound with growth markets, as big city residents continue to target affordable lifestyle areas. Most locations are delivering big price rises. There are 181 suburbs and towns throughout Regional NSW with rising sales momentum, which equates to 61% of locations. The major population centres – Newcastle/Lake Macquarie, the Central Coast, and Wollongong/Shoalhaven – are all pumping strongly, as are other key regional centres like Tamworth, Wagga Wagga, Orange and Dubbo. Coastal municipalities in the south, like Eurobodalla and Bega Valley, are being targeted by lifestyle buyers. And there are smaller regional centres with upwardly-mobile markets, including Armidale, Bathurst, Broken Hill, Cowra, Glen Innes, Goulburn, Griffith, Gunnedah, Inverell, Kempsey, Leeton, Moree and Parkes. Markets throughout Regional NSW are delivering exceptional price growth, from major regional centres like Newcastle and Wollongong to small rural towns like Glen Innes and Cootamundra. Virtually every town or suburb through Regional NSW (97%) has recorded growth in their median house prices in the past 12 months and in the most recent quarter. Two-thirds have had annual growth above 10%. Only seven of the locations analysed in this report have failed to record growth in the past year. There is spectacular growth right across NSW, but locations close to Sydney stand out. The Central Coast, the Blue Mountains, the Southern Highlands, Wollongong and the Shoalhaven all have stand-out examples. So, against this background, we have just published our new edition of the Top 5 Regional NSW Hotspots report. It outlines five key regional centres in the state which offer affordability and lifestyle – and have great prospects for capital growth in the short-term but more importantly in the long-term as well. So get yourself a copy of the report and find out our picks for the best places to target as investors in Regional NSW. https://www.hotspotting.com.au/product/top-5-nsw-regional/

Jason is our local Shoalhaven council horticulturalists and is the one to thank for developing and maintaining all our beautiful gardens in the area. What was so amazing about having a chat with Jason was not only his passion for what he does in town but also his amazing willingness to share his family's story no matter how hard that may be. To be able to open up and share shows true strength in character and an unwillingness for life to be taken for granted. This creates tremendous healing in many ways as we can see reflections in our own lives and that we're not the only ones facing difficulty in daily life whatever that may be.We hope you enjoy his amazing story and if you see Jase give him a wave and what better way to thank him than to pick up a bit of rubbish so he has more time to beautify our little town!Please help by sharing this episode with your friends and family.Take a snapshot of your phone screen while listening to the show and post to Instagram with #treadinglightlyincTreading LightlyFacebook | https://www.facebook.com/TreadingLightlyInc/Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/treading_lightly_inc/

Two weeks ago, the Morton National Park fire crossed the Shoalhaven river, destroying four homes in Bundanoon.The last time the Southern Highlands saw a fire like this was 1965, so no one was really prepared.The residents of Bundanoon only got an emergency phone call 30 minutes before the fire hit the town. By that time it was too late to leave. It was hard not to feel trapped when you looked at the giant dark patches moving in on the Fires Near Me app. There were fire fronts descending from the north and coming in from the west too.In this bonus episode, I'm interviewing Dr Rebekah Hoffman, a GP based in Mittagong.Communities turn to GPs during disasters, not just for treatment but for emotional support. It's a lot to carry on your shoulders.I'm interested to hear from Dr Hoffman what it's been like on the ground.

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Sunday apologised for taking a family vacation in Hawaii as deadly bushfires raged across several states, destroying homes and claiming the lives of two volunteer firefighters.Morrison cut short a vacation with his wife and adult children amid public anger at his absence from Australia at a time of national crisis. He arrived home Saturday and on Sunday morning spoke to reporters while visiting the headquarters of the Rural Fire Service in Sydney."If you had your time over again and you had the benefit of hindsight, we would have made different decisions," Morrison said. “I am sure Australians are fair-minded and understand that when you make a promise to your kids you try and keep it.”He added: "But as prime minister, you have other responsibilities and I accept that and I accept the criticism."Morrison said this was not a time for political point-scoring but a "time to be kind to each other." He said he is not a trained firefighter, “but I'm comforted by the fact that Australians would like me to be here just simply so I can be here, alongside them, as they are going through this terrible time.”Morrison also answered critics who say his government has not done enough to fight climate change, which has been cited as a major factor in the spate of fires burning across New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. He said there were also "many other factors" responsible for the unprecedented number of fires during a record-breaking heatwave."There is no argument ... about the links between broader issues of global climate change and weather events around the world," he said. "But I'm sure people equally would acknowledge that the direct connection to any single fire event — it's not a credible suggestion to make that link."Rural Fire Service Commission Shane Fizsimmons described Saturday as an "awful day" for firefighters as strong southerly winds fanned more than 100 fires in New South Wales alone.Dozens of homes have been lost since Thursday in massive wildfires, including the Gospers Mountain blaze that covered more than 460,000 hectares (1.1 million acres). A fire-generated thunderstorm formed over one blaze at Shoalhaven on Saturday, escalating the fire danger.Thirty firefighters from Canada and nine from the United States were among fresh crews set to join the battle against the fires on Sunday.

Greater Sydney, Greater Hunter and now the Illawarra and Shoalhaven regions have catastrophic fire danger warnings for Tuesday

On this week's podcast, Courtney Ward catches up with Shoalhaven basketball legend Phil Lynch. Lynch started playing hoops in 1961 at Nowra High School and HMAS Albatross prior to the Tigers Den being built. This is where his love for the game started, which saw him go on and represent Shoalhaven, Newcastle, NSW and eventually Australia. After ending his playing career back where it all started, in the Shoalhaven, Lynch transitioned into a media career. This eventually saw him move to Canberra to work on the radio but also commentate sport, predominantly basketball. Being so good at what he did, Lynch had the opportunity to commentate at four Olympic Games, three FIBA World Championships and two Commonwealth Games. The now 70-year-old also had a big role in setting up the Bernie Regan Memorial Sporting Trust - which has donated more than $370,000 to junior Shoalhaven athletes over the past 34 years. So tune in to hear the pair's in-depth chat about Lynch's amazing career.

AFTER starting to run, as a way to escape school bullies at the age of 11, Nowra's Paul Greene went on to reach the pinnacle as a track sprinter. His track and field resume includes two Commonwealth Games, one junior World Championships (which saw him claim bronze medal at Plovdiv in 1990), two World Championships, a World Indoors, World Cup and World University Games - before his career culminated at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games. Since then, Greene has moved into the music industry, where he has released numerous albums, both as a solo artist but also with his band Ghostwriters - while also spending time with drummer Rob Hirst (Midnight Oil) and bassist Rick Grossman (ex-Hoodoo Gurus). His career has now come full circle as he now has returned to the athletics scene, helping coach some of Shoalhaven's up and coming track stars, including his daughters. Hear all about his amazing journey, both in sport but also in music, in his in-depth one-on-one chat with Courtney Ward.

WHEN you have a dream stuck in your head, you'll sacrifice whatever it takes to achieve it. This is non more applicable than to Callala product Blake Horton, who has just returned to the Shoalhaven following four years of playing football professionally in Europe. After starting to play at the age of just four, because he wanted to emulate his older brother, Horton quickly fell in love with the game and developed a natural talent as a goalkeeper. Since then, after stops at Culburra, Bomaderry, Southern Branch, Port Kembla and Rockdale City, the former Nowra Christian School student chased his football dream overseas - which led to him playing at FC Chabab in the Hoofdklasse, SC Telstar in the Jupiler League and finally OFC Oostzaan in East Amsterdam Derde Divisie. While abroad, largely based in the Netherlands, Horton would travel five hours a day just to train, in a country where English wasn't the first language. But despite all this, as well as numerous injury concerns, Horton wouldn't have changed his experience overseas at all - which has led to him now playing for Coniston in the Illawarra. Hear all about his amazing journey below, in his in-depth chat with Courtney Ward.

Political scientist Andy Marks says: ‘I’d suggest the momentum is with Labor and it hasn’t substantially shifted’. AAP Image/NIC ELLISWe are but a few weeks from a federal election, and the way the wind is blowing may depend on what state you’re in. Trust Me, I’m An Expert – along with Politics with Michelle Grattan – is bringing you state-focused podcast episodes as polling day approaches. To catch up on all the political drama unfolding in NSW, I spoke to political scientist (and self-described political tragic) Andy Marks, who predicted a Labor victory on May 18. “Labor will win this election. I think that’s virtually unquestionable. We’re just not seeing enough movement, even in the polls at this point, in the primary vote level, to say the Libs or the Coalition will hang on. I think this is going to be a Labor victory,” he said. Read more: The myth of 'the Queensland voter', Australia's trust deficit, and the path to Indigenous recognition Take this week’s Newspoll – which appeared to show the gap between the two major parties – with a grain of salt, he said. “Early in April, we saw exactly the same primary vote polling as we saw on the weekend. So, there hasn’t really been a discernible shift. You need to see a gap open up to the degree of around about five or six points, for the Coalition to even look like hanging on. It will stay tight, I think until polling day, but I’d suggest the momentum is with Labor and it hasn’t substantially shifted.” You can read the full transcript below, and hear The Conversation’s chief political correspondent Michelle Grattan talk with experts on the seats and issues to watch in WA and Victoria on the Politics with Michelle Grattan podcast.

Additional audio Kindergarten by Unkle Ho, from Elefant Traks SBS news report ABC news report Image AAP Image/NIC ELLIS Transcript: Andy Marks: I’m Andy Marks, I’m a political scientist and Assistant Vice-Chancellor at Western Sydney University. Sunanda Creagh: So Andy, let’s just catch up on where things are up to in New South Wales. What do you see as the key issues in voters’ minds in New South Wales as polling day approaches? Andy Marks: New South Wales is a strange case. It’s the usual suspects in terms of issues but not in the usual way. So we’re seeing the economy feature but we’re not hearing too much in the way of big ticket reform. We are hearing some of that from Labor of course and it’s not about fiscal performance. That’s not winning votes anymore. It’s about issues like cost of living, it’s about issues like wage stagnation. At the other end, you have issues around negative gearing reform and franking credits which are more at the investment end. So a very unusual take on the economy in terms of elections. The other issues that feature, of course, Labor have made it about health in terms of cancer care and the package they have there. Alternatively, the Libs have sought to bring it back towards security and issues around border protection, of course, that we saw with John Howard coming into the campaign on the weekend. The big sleeper is climate and it’s a sleeper in the sense that it’s coming to the fore from a number of angles. We’re seeing the issue of energy reform come up from industry who are madly seeking coherent energy policy from both sides of the parliament. We’re seeing the issue of the environment played out with issues like Adani, and water, of course, is the big one in terms of agriculture and rural electorates across the country. So there’s three different lenses being applied but they all come up in terms of how both sides address the issue of climate. Sunanda Creagh: You mentioned negative gearing there. Sydney, being the centre of the property boom in Australia, people here seem to be mortgaged up to their eyeballs. Lots of people negatively gearing properties. Do you think that issue might be a decider for some Sydney voters who do take advantage of that policy? Andy Marks: Negative gearing will factor on the minds of many voters, but not in the seats that are pressure cookers, so they’re not going to swing seats. I think, for example, certainly among the retirement community those issues, particularly around the franking credits matter, are of importance. The housing market in Sydney and across the eastern states more broadly is softening anyway ahead of this measure. It’s hard to tie a definitive link to that and the coming reforms, should Labor win government. It’s not an issue that’s going to turn swinging seats, but it will factor into some more rusted-on voters. Sunanda Creagh: And speaking of seats, what do you see as the key seats to watch? Andy Marks: Across New South Wales, I reckon there’s about five that are up for a change. At the outset, I have to say this election won’t be won or lost in New South Wales. It’s most likely Queensland where you have up to eight seats and margins of 4% or less that will decide it. In Victoria, there’ll be some significant movement as well. There’s about five that I’m looking at in New South Wales in terms of potential change. Wentworth, of course, is the big one with the contest between Kerryn Phelps and Dave Sharma. Lindsay, where Emma Husar has been moved aside through misconduct allegations, and you have a contest there and out at Western Sydney. Banks, the immigration minister faces a challenge there on a 1.4% margin. Then we, move into some coastal regional seats. Gilmore, where former ALP president Warren Mundine is running against Labor’s Fiona Phillips. Robertson on the Central Coast which is held by just 1.1% by the Libs, so they’re the ones where I think you can see some movement. Now the exciting stuff, in terms of drama, Warringah, of course, where former PM Tony Abbott is facing a challenge. In Reid, Turnbull-backer Craig Laundy turned that razor thin margin into almost a moderately safe seat for the Libs, and that’s up in play again as well. Sunanda Creagh: You mentioned Gilmore, that’s an area that takes in places like Shoalhaven, Jervis Bay, and some of those Batemans Bay type areas. Tell us, what are some of the issues that will be in voters minds in that area? Andy Marks: Look that’s a difficult one to pick. It’s really a four-way contest. You have a candidate in Warren Mundine who was essentially parachuted in by Morrison. The controversy there, of course, being his former role with Labor. You also have Katrina Hodgkinson, who was a former Nationals New South Wales minister and really reputable individual running against the Labor candidate Fiona Phillips. And Grant Schulz, the Lib turned independent who was passed over by Mundine. So, it’s interesting in the sense that the way the vote splits over the course of the election will be something to watch. It’s really one that’s very uncertain for all of the players. Sunanda Creagh: You mentioned Reid, which takes in Canada Bay, Burwood, Strathfield and is currently held by Craig Laundy for the Liberals. He’s been somewhat of a comparatively moderate voice. What do you think will be the issues there? Andy Marks: Reid is an interesting one. Laundy was an incredibly strong local member and he stood up against his own party’s attempted reforms of the anti-discrimination act. That area was lost to Labor in the recent New South Wales election, due to comments made by the Labor opposition leader around Asians taking jobs. Really retrograde comments on his part. So the momentum probably was with Labor, whether the voters have forgiven the foibles of the state party though will remain to be seen. But, that’s a big loss to the Libs in Craig Laundy moving on. Sunanda Creagh: I wanted to ask you about the seat of Farrer. That’s a regional seat, it takes in places like Hay, Murrumbidgee. Some of those areas around the Murray Darling, the Central Darling. With the seat of Farrer, what do you think of some of the issues there? Andy Marks: Look Farrer is an interesting one - you wouldn’t be talking about an electorate with a 20% plus margin as being one that’s up for grabs, but it is. We saw swings in the state election against the coalition of up to 26% in Murray, 19% in Barwon, and around 37% in Orange. So these rural electorates are very volatile and the issue of water management, of course, is the dominant thread across a seat like Farrer. But it’s a diverse seat. So you have areas like Albury, where unemployment is very high, educational attainment is quite low, economic activity has been suppressed through the drought. So the issues across that electorate are incredibly diverse and equally you don’t have in the New South Wales case we had the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party running against the Nationals quite successfully in three seats. They’re not a consolidated force at the federal level. Really, Farrer’s in play because of the Albury Mayor Kevin Mack, who is running the strongest challenge against Sussan Ley. She’s held onto that seat since 2001 and that’s Tim Fischer’s old seat. So, it should be a sure bet for them. This is suddenly a seat that’s in play. Sunanda Creagh: So you mentioned water being an issue in the seat of Farrer, and certainly that’s shaping up to be an issue across the board. If you believe what you read on social media, suddenly everybody’s talking about water buybacks and we’ve had the big story breaking around the water buybacks issue that involved Barnaby Joyce. I’m interested to know what you think on how that issue may influence voters in the lead up to polling day. Andy Marks: Look, there’s already a bit of disaffection towards the Nationals. I think their own internal troubles around leadership, and the other controversies they’ve had around Andrew Broad and other figures have given weight to the perception that their mind is not on the game. They’ve taken their eye off the ball in terms of the concerns of rural voters. So, that’s why we are seeing such a pronounced reaction against them in some seats. Whether that anger was spent, at the New South Wales election and the earlier Victorian poll remains to be seen. I can’t see a repeat of the swings we saw in the state election here in NSW. But certainly, some very generous margins will be really damaged, I think. Sunanda Creagh: So let’s talk about Warringah where Tony Abbott is facing that strong challenge from independent Zali Steggall, who’s been supported by GetUp! in her campaign. That’s also become a point of contention and a point of attack for her political foes. How do you see things playing out? Andy Marks: Look, there’s no doubt it’s going to be a contest. Zali Steggall will take it down to the wire. People need to be aware though that Tony Abbott loves a fight, shifting him on that margin of over 11% is going to be incredibly difficult. It’s not like Bennelong, for example, where we saw John Howard go as a result of demographic shifts and other factors. And it’s not like Wentworth where, of course, Turnbull stepped aside. A former PM, even one that’s controversial, still attracts some traction among voters. Zali Steggall has done well in opening the debate up into issues that challenge the principles that Tony Abbott’s put forward. So, forcing him to for example to talk more about climate, to talk more about issues where he’s clearly a little uncomfortable, has been a good tactic on her part. Obviously, the work of groups like GetUp! will influence things as well. I just can’t see it shifting. I think Tony Abbott is far too an experienced player to go down without a fight, and this is the guy that loves to be backed into a corner. I might be proven wrong, but I think he’ll just hang on in Warringah. Sunanda Creagh: And you mentioned former PMs, speaking of which, let’s talk about Wentworth. Do you think voters will punish the Coalition for turfing out Malcolm Turnbull? We saw Turnbull’s son, Alex Turnbull actively encouraging people not to vote for the Liberal candidate Dave Sharma. And as it turned out Kerryn Phelps did win that seat. So how will things play out there? Andy Marks: Wentworth is an interesting one. I like to call it the contest for the soul of the Liberal Party. Because really, it’s about whether the party will choose to push forward in a progressive way, or revert more to those hard right tendencies that we’ve seen in recent times. The thing to watch at Wentworth will be whether Phelps has managed to translate in a really short timeframe that protest vote into a base. And that would mean Phelps has to have really strong points of differentiation on issues like climate, immigration and border protection. Which she’s, to a very large extent, done on the latter issue. Whether that’s enough to shift people across for good remains to be seen. That’s one that’s too hard to call. Sunanda Creagh: So, Andy Marks what’s your prediction? Who do you think is going to win this federal election? Andy Marks: Look, Labor will win this election. I think that’s virtually unquestionable. We’re just not seeing enough movement, even in the polls at this point in the primary vote level to see the Libs or the Coalition hang on. I think this is going to be a Labor victory. Sunanda Creagh: Even with Newspoll saying it’s tightening as voting day draws closer? Andy Marks: You have to look again at that primary vote figure. Early in April, we saw exactly the same primary vote polling as we saw on the weekend. So, there hasn’t really been a discernible shift. You need to see a gap open up to the degree of around about five or six points, for the Coalition to even look like hanging on. It will stay tight, I think until polling day, but I’d suggest the momentum is with Labor and it hasn’t substantially shifted. So with the Coalition on 38% and Labor on 37%, I don’t see it shifting sufficiently for there to be a change in the momentum. Sunanda Creagh: Let’s talk about the upper house. What do you see as the issues to watch there? Andy Marks: Look, that’s an interesting one from the New South Wales point of view. Jim Molan, arguably their highest profile senator, finds himself in an unwinnable spot on their ticket. This is largely due to reforms that he instigated, internal party reform. So it’s a big ask therefore for somebody to get up. You know, you’re going to require a quota in excess of 14% of the vote to get a spot. Brian Burston’s the other interesting one. He’s a former One Nation representative, now with Clive Palmer’s outfit, and he’s their parliamentary leader in the house. It’s a very interesting contest there. There’s Doug Cameron, a long-standing senator for Labor, retiring, and Tony Sheldon, the former Transport Workers Union secretary coming in on his spot. Sunanda Creagh: And just lastly, what do you want to say about preferences? Do you think preferences will make a big difference in this election? Andy Marks: Look, there’s no doubt that the question around where the United Australia Party’s preferences flow has been a dominant issue in Queensland. I don’t see it being of sufficient weight to shift the momentum, which again in those marginal electorates, up to eight of them, is all with Labor at the moment. So, it will make things a little trickier to call earlier. But, I still see things going Labor’s way in those key seats. Sunanda Creagh: Any final comments? Andy Marks: Look, this is a contest where New South Wales will provide plenty of action. But it’s not going to be the place where it’s won or lost. But it’s certainly going to be the place of high drama. Sunanda Creagh: Andy Marks, thank you so much for your time. Andy Marks: Thank you.

Not many men have had the honour of representing both the Kangaroos and Wallabies on the world stage - 48 to be exact. And to have one of those dual internationals, in Andrew Walker, originate from the Shoalhaven is very special. So on this week's Wide Ward of Sports chat, Courtney Ward and the now 45-year-old Walker chat about his journey from playing rugby union with the Shoalhaven Rugby Club and rugby league with the Bomaderry Swamprats to playing playing in both the NRL and Super Rugby competitions - which lead to him representing his country on eight different occasions. We also discuss all the high and lows of his career and what's the next chapter in Andrew Walker's life.

Be inspired as we chat with Corey Tutt who has made it his mission to spread his love of science to remote and regional indigenous communities through sending science books to schools & linking these students to scientists via Skype. This project is completely self-funded and he works hand in hand with local elders in each community. Not only is Corey increasing scientific literacy, he is also helping kids see true pathways to higher education! Hosted by Ben Newsome from Fizzics EducationAbout Corey Tutt Corey is a proud Indigenous man from the South Coast(with Kamilaroi heritage),  who is currently working at Sydney University. Corey has a passion for all things science and has been working with Indigenous youth and animals in his spare time.  Corey has worked at Roo gully WA, Shoalhaven zoo as an Alpaca shearer as well as with the RSPCA and Animal Welfare League, before deciding to continue his studies. When he started work at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research, his passion for science developed further. He started to teach himself genetics, starting with primary school level and eventually working up to higher level genetics. When he moved to the University of Sydney in 2016 and his first point of call was to find AIME, the very group that mentored him as a teenager. Today is Corey learning more about his culture and is looking to develop pathways to science within the university for indigenous students by creating an indigenous science committee and podcast to be released in July 2019. Outside of the university, he is spreading the word of about science by helping indigenous people find science in remote areas. Using his connections within the animal industry, he is also to find young indigenous people work. Corey hopes to develop and collaborate these programs and ideas to a spread to other remote communities and create the pathways to science moment to encourage more indigenous people to pursue science and to work with animals. For the past 6 months, Corey has been sending books to 48 remote schools from all around Australia to get people excited by science he has also created the virtual classroom bringing scientists to the bush via Skype. About the FizzicsEd Podcast With interviews with leading science educators and STEM thought leaders, this science education podcast is about highlighting different ways of teaching kids within and beyond the classroom. It's not just about educational practice & pedagogy, it's about inspiring new ideas & challenging conventions of how students can learn about their world! https://www.fizzicseducation.com.au/Know an educator who'd love this STEM podcast episode?  Share it!

Gina Kalabishis's work is about relationships and connection; connecting with nature and connecting with each other. Her recent show at Flinders Lane Gallery, 'Bundanon Floor to Sky', drew on her time spent within the landscape of Bundanon, the gift that artist Arthur Boyd and his wife Yvonne gave to the Australian people. Bundanon is a property of over 1000 hectares on the Shoalhaven river in NSW which offers residencies to artists and writers, an extensive education program and much more. From her time at Bundanon, Kalabishis has produced an astonishing body of work. Her triptych 'Bundanon Floor to Sky - You are always a part of me now (after Van Morrison)', which is over three and a half metres long, immerses the viewer into that lush landscape from the roots of the trees to the sky above. Other works in the series, too, explore the area from the ground all the way up to the troposphere, far above the landscape. Kalabishis also combines ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arrangement, with native Australian plants, taking them out of the domestic setting into the landscape. Bones and shells also form part of the imagery which she creates through a combination of sculpture and digital technology. Last year she was awarded the Eutick Memorial Still Life Award and has won many other awards including the Rick Amor drawing prize. She has exhibited in 18 solo shows and her work is held in the National Gallery of Australia and many other institutions and private collections. Kalabishis grew up in Melbourne - her parents were Greek migrants - and this conversation starts with her memories of work experience at the National Gallery of Victoria when she was 16.  It was 1985 and the ‘Golden Summers’ exhibition was showing  at the gallery. The exhibition was very popular at the time and included works by Australian impressionists of the Heidelberg school including Arthur Streeton and Tom Roberts. Kalabashis talks about her recent exhibition and generously reveals much about her process which takes advantage of 21st century technology.

Back in episode 74 for 'International World Indigenous Day' on August 9, I recorded an amazing podcast with Ben Stainer on his Indigenous upbringing and family history. In that episode, he mentioned a state government funded program that's coming up in the not too distant future, designed around training, employing and housing members of the Jerrinja Aboriginal Community on the South Coast of NSW in the Shoalhaven area. In today's podcast, I'm speaking with Mr Alfred Wellington, who is the CEO of the Jerrinja Local Aboriginal Land Council about the 'Tiny Houses Initiative' that has won the first round support of a $4 million state government grant. Out of three hundred applicants for the grant, the Jerrinja Local Aboriginal Land Council came in the top twenty, which is a pretty big deal. Alfred states in this podcasts that their acceptance into the program was a testament to the innovative proposal that was submitted. The proposal will see a series of small (2 bedroom) eco friendly homes build on the local land, however where the program gets interesting is in the space of how it's going to be developed. Members of the community will be building these homes themselves. Under the guidance of qualified and skilled mentors, members of the community will be taught the practical skills required to build the projects. The initiative will teach and educate new skills, it will create work (which is limited in the Shoalhaven area), while at the same time providing housing. Enjoy this podcast.

Margaret Preston (1875 - 1963), Flying over the Shoalhaven River [Flying over the Shoalhaven] 1942. Painting, oil on canvas 50.6 h x 50.6 w, framed 68.6 h x 68.6 w x 6.8 d cm. Purchased 1973. © Margaret Rose Preston Estate. Licensed by Viscopy.

Margaret Preston was used to seeing the earth from the air. By 1942 the artist had visited Europe and North America, and had travelled extensively throughout much of Asia, the Pacific Islands, Central and South America and Australia. During her travels she visited many places and sought out the Indigenous art of other cultures, yet it was the Indigenous art of Australia that inspired her most. Preston travelled extensively throughout remote areas of Australia to see Indigenous paintings and carvings. She studied the collections at the Australian Museum in Sydney and published articles and lectured on Indigenous art. From 1932 to 1939 Preston lived in the bush at Berowra, close to Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park north of Sydney, where her great passion for the natural environment of Australia was reinforced. During the Second World War, Preston, like many others, developed a strong nationalist sentiment and in 1942 published an article titled ‘The orientation of art in the post-war Pacific’. In this article she argued for the development of a ‘National Australian Culture’ through an exchange of ideas between Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists. She also suggested that Australians should actively exchange ideas with their Asian neighbours. In Flying over the Shoalhaven River Preston combined her knowledge of Indigenous Australian, Asian and western art with a modernist aesthetic. The linear quality of the composition and the flattened areas of colour reflect her skills in woodblock printmaking. Using an earthy palette of browns, greys and ochres, Preston suggested the bush with dabs and dots of paint. She mirrored the overcast sky in the silvery stretch of river and depicted a number of low-lying clouds casting shadows on the earth. While the aerial perspective displays Preston’s knowledge of Indigenous Australian and Chinese methods of representing the land from above, the experience of flying over the Shoalhaven River was her own.
