Jeremy Zakis discusses the confirmed El Niño cycle bringing unusually warm, humid winter weather across Australia. He notes that local councils are performing early back-burning to mitigate bushfire risks during this dry period. Despite drought concerns, many residents are enjoying extended beach weather in coastal Sydney.1930 SOUTH AUSTRALIA

In this episode, we sit down with Jackson from Enduro Builders in Adelaide to talk high performance homes, energy efficient construction, and what it actually takes to build houses that perform year after year. We recorded inside a Passive House, and once you feel that level of comfort and stability, it's hard to accept what “normal” housing has been getting away with.Jackson has been building certified Passive Houses and energy efficient homes in South Australia for more than a decade, and he keeps it simple. No magic. No secret sauce. Just good design, tight detailing, and refusing to cut corners where it counts. We take a look at what makes a home feel consistently warm (or cool), how the building envelope does the heavy lifting, and why comfort is a measurable outcome, not a marketing line.One of the best parts of this chat is how practical Jackson is about targets. Not every project needs certification, and not every client wants the same thing. We talk Passive House principles, performance tiers, and how to choose the right materials and systems for the brief, the budget, and the climate. The point is not the badge. The point is building performance, durability, and homes people can actually afford to live in.We also get into the real-world negotiations builders face: design vs function, heating choices (including hydronic heating and wood fires), and what “cosy” really means in a well-built home. Plus, Jackson shares why he's using Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) in his own build, and why systems and processes are the backbone of a sustainable building business. If you're a builder, architect, designer, or homeowner who cares about sustainable construction in Australia, this episode will shift how you think about good building.

This is not a typical Adelaide Show episode. For the first time in 434 instalments, Steve Davis opens by confessing he’s not sure how many more episodes there will be because something has broken in him. Not in South Australia’s people, whom he loves unreservedly, but in his trust of the state’s governance. What follows is one of the most honest conversations the show has ever hosted. There is no SA Drink of the Week this episode. The mood didn’t call for it. In the Musical Pilgrimage, Steve closes with Australia Day by Steve Davis & The Virtuosos, a song whose thesis turns out to be the quiet heart of everything discussed: that we’ve retreated into our selfish dwellings, stopped sticking our arms over the fence to say hello, and in doing so have left ourselves vulnerable to exactly the kind of politics this episode is about.

Running Sheet: Something Has Broken: SA Politics, the Park Lands, and the Politics of Distraction 00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:00:00 SA Drink Of The Week There is no SA Drink Of The Week this week. 00:03:15 David Olney and Steve Davis Steve opens by describing where he is: not disconnected from South Australia’s people, but from its governance. He says he is earnestly worried, and that there is no performative aspect to the episode. To stress-test his thinking and provide context, he has invited back David Olney, whose academic background covers history, international politics, international security, and complex problem-solving. David notes that colleagues once told him he thought more like a psychologist or neurologist than a political scientist, always searching for the human motivation beneath structural problems. David introduces the work of political theorist Ted Robert Gurr, who studied the conditions preceding revolution across different periods of history. Gurr found two sequential thresholds: first, when people stop believing things will get better; and second, when they become convinced things are actively getting worse. Steve places himself at Gurr’s second threshold, citing the government’s handling of the algal bloom, a secret tower deal at peppercorn rent, tree clearing in the Park Lands for a golf event, and the prospect of further clearing for a motorcycle race. His concern is not with the events or sports themselves but with the irreversible damage to trees that Tourism SA uses to represent Adelaide. Two further things have deepened Steve’s despair. The first is what he reads as a coordinated flood of upbeat ministerial social media videos that do not address the Park Lands issue at all. He sees it as a tactic borrowed from Trump’s playbook. The second is the government’s launch of a media literacy tool to help students decode messaging, at the same time as the government itself, in Steve’s view, avoids transparency, attacks critics personally rather than engaging with their arguments, and operates through private deals. David draws on Rebecca Costa’s book The Watchman’s Rattle to frame this: Costa observed that as civilisations struggle to deal with significant problems, political attention shifts to small and peripheral ones. David’s illustration from literature is the war in Gulliver’s Travels fought over which end of a boiled egg to crack. Steve recommends the book Angertainment by Ed Koper as a guide to recognising this pattern. He uses Koper’s framing to contrast two dystopian visions: Orwell’s 1984, where repression at least provokes resistance, and Huxley’s Brave New World, where a population entertained into passivity never finds cause to push back. David agrees that Huxley’s version is the more troubling of the two. David then explains neoliberalism at Steve’s request: the economic model adopted across the English-speaking world in the early 1980s under Thatcher, Reagan, and Hawke, which replaced mixed economies with market-driven ones. David argues that the mixed economy model of the postwar decades, while imperfect, delivered stable living standards and could absorb shocks. What replaced it produced private monopolies, underinvestment in infrastructure and services, and a political landscape where both major parties operate within the same economic framework. His summary: in Australia, both parties wear one jackboot and one fluffy slipper. David connects this to the growth of parties like One Nation and Britain’s Reform Party, arguing that voters who have seen no meaningful improvement from either major party are reaching for alternatives, not out of ideological conversion but out of exhaustion. Steve raises a related concern: that the same billionaire interests bankrolling One Nation-type parties have no real incentive to disrupt neoliberalism, which raises questions about where that political energy actually leads. Toward the end of the episode, Steve reads from a reply he has just received from his federal member, written in response to a handwritten letter he sent six weeks earlier about a gas tax. The reply is considered and personal, acknowledging hundreds of individual constituent responses and explaining the member’s position. Steve describes it as a strand still holding, though he is careful not to place too much weight on it. David names two economists whose recent books offer some grounds for thinking a better model is possible: Mariana Mazzucato and Daron Acemoglu. Steve closes by naming David Pocock as an example of what a politician in this era can be, and David adds Barbara Pocock to that list. The episode ends with a brief exchange about what Don Dunstan and Malcolm Fraser might have made of where their respective parties have ended up. The following resources were mentioned during the episode. Books Angertainment by Ed KoperThe Watchman’s Rattle by Rebecca CostaBrave New World by Aldous Huxley1984 by George OrwellAmusing Ourselves to Death by Neil PostmanThe Common Good Economy by Mariana Mazzucato Podcasts The Rest is Politics with Alastair Campbell and Rory StewartThe Rest is Politics US featuring Anthony Scaramucci 00:42:34 Musical Pilgrimage In the Musical Pilgrimage this week we listen to Australia Day by Steve Davis & The Virutalosos. Steve introduces Australia Day as a song exploring how Australia lost the social conditions that made postwar migrant integration work. The central argument is that Italians, Greeks, and Vietnamese newcomers were absorbed into communities partly because people had time and proximity, sticking their arms over fences and saying hello. McMansions, mobile phones, and an economic model built on scarcity and anxiety have eroded that. David adds that prime ministers who romanticised the 1950s as a human ideal were simultaneously promoting the economic model that made those conditions impossible to replicate. Steve writes the songs and uses a virtual session band to produce them, with the hope that a live musician will one day take them further.Support the show: https://theadelaideshow.com.au/listen-or-download-the-podcast/adelaide-in-crowd/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jeremy Cordeaux returns to the Garage Edition of The Court of Public Opinion with a wide-ranging commentary on politics, healthcare, taxation, government spending and the growing pressures facing everyday Australians. Jeremy questions Anthony Albanese's collapsing popularity, attacks South Australia's hospital ramping crisis, examines whether government subsidies are driving up healthcare and childcare costs, and argues that excessive taxation is fuelling Australia's booming illegal cigarette market. He also discusses union demands for shorter work weeks amid the rise of artificial intelligence, concerns about wage-price inflation, South Australia's growing debt burden, controversial tree removals for major events, speculative investment in artificial intelligence companies and the increasing visibility of homelessness on Adelaide streets. As always, Jeremy combines political commentary, economic observations and historical reflections in another thought-provoking Garage Edition.

When Pete was transferred to a remote town in South Australia for work, he thought he was getting a pretty good deal: free housing, extra pay, and a new adventure.The house wasn't much to look at, but it was home. Then the neighbors came over.What started as a friendly welcome quickly turned into a conversation that left Pete questioning everything he thought he knew about the property. Suddenly, little details he'd barely noticed before—the unusual fence, the closed bedroom at the end of the hallway, the fact that the house had been sitting vacant—began to feel very different.The more he learned about the family's tragic history, the more he wondered whether he was truly living there alone. Yet what makes Pete's story so unusual isn't the possibility that the house was haunted.It's that whatever remained there never seemed to want him gone. #RealGhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #HauntedHouse #GhostStories #TrueGhostStory #AustralianGhostStory #ParanormalEncounter #HauntedHome #UnexplainedMystery #SpiritPresenceLove real ghost stories?

What if the most important fact about your partner's violence risk is sitting in a police database you can't access? In this episode, David and Ruth dig into Clare's Law, the UK's domestic violence disclosure scheme, with researcher Dr. Katerina Hadjimatheou, and they get honest about what information sharing can do when coercive control runs on secrecy, grooming, and lies. They talk about why convictions alone rarely tell the full story, how serial perpetrators move from relationship to relationship, and why survivors often say a disclosure helps them finally see the pattern and stop blaming themselves.Ruth, David, and Dr. Hadjimatheou also compare two very different real-world implementations: England and Wales, where the experience can be inconsistent and sometimes isolating, and South Australia, where a specialist domestic violence service wraps disclosure in a trauma-informed support process. That difference matters. Many people requesting disclosures have never contacted a domestic violence service before, so the moment of disclosure can either become a doorway to safety planning and autonomy or a terrifying information drop with nowhere to put it.Then they name the hard part: systems can misuse a safeguarding tool. They unpack how child protection agencies can pressure mothers to seek disclosures and turn results into a “test,” and they discuss risks like mislabeling and perpetrators gaming the system. If we want disclosure schemes to improve survivor safety and perpetrator accountability, we have to design them around consent, support, and pattern-based understanding.Subscribe, share this with someone who needs it, and leave us a review: where should disclosure sit in your community's approach to domestic abuse?Send us Fan Mail Now available!

Episode SummaryIn this episode, Richard is joined by Barrie Harrop. Barrie shares his thoughts on why advanced volumetric modular construction represents a crucial step in how affordable housing can be delivered in Australia. They discuss why conventional construction methods are no longer equal to the scale of the problem, and how a factory-based approach to building can deliver quality housing faster and more affordably than anything currently available in the Australian market.They also explore the concept of air rights and the significant untapped opportunity sitting above underutilised commercial buildings across Australia's capital cities. Barrie explains how lightweight modular construction makes this opportunity newly viable and outlines the collaborative research programme underway with Western Sydney University to map and scale this approach across Australia. The episode concludes with Barrie's views on government policy, the compliance challenges facing innovative construction methods, and why he believes the industry cannot wait for policy to catch up. About Our GuestBarrie Harrop is Executive Chairman of Thrive Construct, which he co-founded with architect Peter Billis to deliver affordable, high-quality housing through advanced volumetric modular construction. With a distinguished career spanning more than four decades and crossing continents, Barrie was the project initiator behind Melbourne Central, one of the country's most significant urban renewal projects, created Australia's first food court at Gallerie Food Affair Gawler Place, Adelaide, and was instrumental in launching R.M. Williams into their first CBD store in the world. The R.M. Williams StoryR.M. Williams story of growth began when Barrie met the late John Swain in his tin-shed office. He presented to the previous majority shareholder, the late John Swain, in the late 70s, at their modest tin-shed workshop in Percy Street, Prospect, South Australia, where 15 artisans crafted boots, saddles, whips and belts (today over 1,500 craft people make RM Williams boots).Barrie's goal was to persuade Mr Swain to open the first R.M. Williams Capital City retail store as the anchor tenant at The Gallerie. Though initially unconvinced, believing his market was limited to rural customers, Barrie presented an underwritten proposal to bring R.M. Williams to city consumers with a new brand that was more relevant to this target market, paving the way for its evolution into one of the world's leading handmade bootmakers and an enduring Australian icon.Barrie also served for 16 years as a board advisor to the Industrial Bank of Japan (IBJ). More recently, Barrie led the masterplanning of a new city for 400,000 people in Central Asia, an experience of building at extraordinary scale that now underpins Thrive's joint venture with China State Construction.Tune into the EpisodeIf you're interested in understanding how advanced volumetric construction could reshape housing delivery in Australia, and what a truly scalable solution to the affordability crisis might look like, this is a must-listen episode. Barrie's breadth of experience makes for a very compelling discussion. EPISODE LINKSBarrie HarropThrive ConstructLarge Scale Project Development ExperienceWe'd love your feedback, send us a message today.LET'S CONNECTSubscribeInstagram Website LinkedIn Email > podcast@charterkc.com.au   This podcast is for educational purposes only and should not be considered investment or financial advice.

To whom was God speaking in Genesis 1.26 when he said, “Let us make humanity in our image”? My guest today, Sam Mansfield of Adelaide, South Australia, has found six different answers to this question. In the following interview, I ask him about his recent presentation at the inaugural Australian Unitarian Christian Alliance conference, called “Wrought with Wisdom: How Solomon Understood Genesis 1:26, 3:22 & 11:7.” Mansfield puts forward the deliberative position with a twist.   Listen on Spotify   Listen on Apple Podcasts —— Links —— Read Mansfield’s paper here.

In this conversation: the duck curve is dying, eight-hour battery storage is making gas redundant, and South Australia's latest firming tender went entirely to batteries. Gas companies weren't successful. We also get into free electricity, $23 per kilowatt-hour price spikes, and why your EV could pay for dinner on a peak demand night. South Australia is the world's renewable energy laboratory. Here's what they've learned.

Jack and Cal are joined by new Thorne Harbour Health CEO Chad Hughes, and discuss the critical challenge of delivering equitable health services to our diverse communities in regional Victoria and South Australia. Chad dives into the organisation’s strategy of embedding practitioners with lived experience into mainstream rural clinics to ensure privacy and reduce stigma for those not ready to come out locally. We also explore the unique dynamics of regional pride events and the importance of empowering local experiences over a one size fits all approach. Given the growing crisis of misinformation in the age of AI, Thorne Harbour’s forty-year legacy of trust is more vital than ever, especially as the organisation expands its national reach through innovative digital platforms. Chapters 00:00 – Intro 01:56 – Chad’s origin story involving genetics, a trip to Uganda in the late 90s, and the pivotal moment that drove him toward public health 06:14 – Setting up harm reduction programs over four years living in a remote Nepalese village, learning the language, and overcoming his needle phobia 11:39 – Leadership philosophy, focusing on mentoring others, the satisfaction of population-level impact versus individual care, and his framework for making tough decisions under pressure 14:45 – Living in Daylesford, the unique nature of regional queer communities compared to the city, and the specific challenges of delivering health services to isolated trans and gender-diverse youth 20:00 – The importance of supporting local autonomy in events like Bendigo Pride 24:46 – Thorne Harbour’s 40-year history of adapting to diverse community requirements 28:47 – Misinformation and AI-generated content, highlighting why Thorne Harbour’s reputation for trusted health information is more valuable than ever 33:32 –  The current political climate, funding challenges in Victoria, the importance of a unified sector, and the significance of having a community member as the new Minister for Health 38:13 – Chad’s hobby of birding, his spark bird, and how observing nature serves as a mindfulness practice 48:14 – Parallels between the patience required for birding and the calm, observant leadership style needed to manage staff dealing with vicarious trauma and complex community crises 49:42 – Ensuring services are truly community-led, responsive to emerging threats like Mpox, and accessible to everyone regardless of location or identity Check out our other JOY Podcasts for more on LGBTIQ+ health and wellbeing at joy.org.au/wellwellwell.

In Australia, no wedding or school dance is complete without the Nutbush, Australia's unofficial national dance. The Nutbush – a simple line dance to the song “Nutbush City Limits,” by Ike and Tina Turner – has become as stereotypically Australian as kangaroos, boomerangs, and Vegemite.And yet, hardly anyone outside of Australia even knows the Nutbush exists. Here at Decoder Ring, we certainly didn't – until we started getting emails from Australians asking us to investigate its origins. How did an American song become the soundtrack for an Australian national tradition? Who invented the iconic steps, and why does every Australian know them?Our producer Max Freedman put on his dancing shoes to get some answers. The global, century-spanning story of the Nutbush involves Australia, Tennessee, Denmark, primary schools, gay discos, and demonstrates that even the goofiest cultural touchstones can go surprisingly deep.In this episode you'll hear from culture journalists David Mack and Angus Kidman; Nutbush researchers Panizza Allmark and Jon Stratton; dance historians Erica Okamura and Richard Powers; Dr. Fiona Chatteur, Jeremy Santolin, and Brian Kerr.This episode was written and produced by Max Freedman and edited by Evan Chung, our supervising producer.

In 1963, a giant Scotsman sculpture appeared outside the Scotty Motel in Adelaide, in South Australia. A banana, a koala, and even a potato soon followed, paving the way for the country's beloved Big Things - one of Australia's quirkiest cultural phenomena.

Simon Price hasn't ridden in a race for five years but still spends plenty of time in the saddle. He's at Morphettville trackwork three mornings a week, and has a regular presence at the barrier trials and jumpouts. With sons Will and Ben both forging successful riding careers in Adelaide, Price Snr is content to take a back seat these days. Simon's CV credits him with close to 2000 winners including a host of black type features. At the height of his career he had regular support from many leading stables and a strong public following. In response to several requests for an interview with the talented horseman I'm pleased to say job's done! Simon joins us on this week's podcast to look back on his very rewarding career.  He talks about his Morphettville trackwork involvement three times a week for some discerning trainers. Simon says he also works a “day job” at a prominent landscaping business owned by an old friend. He looks back on a snap decision in 2020 to relocate to NSW at the request of former South Australian horseman Sam Kavanagh. Simon recalls going all the way to Mudgee to ride his first winner for Kavanagh. The veteran says a Tamworth success on More Sundays for Kavanagh was his last winning ride. Simon pays tribute to Sam Kavanagh who died after a short illness 18 months ago. He looks back on childhood days in Adelaide and pays tribute to his parents. Simon recalls the unlikely circumstances that would trigger his introduction to horses. He talks of early tuition from George Davison and a subsequent apprenticeship to Peter Hayes at Oakbank.  Simon says Peter Hayes was a thoughtful boss who encouraged him to ride for other trainers. He clearly remembers his first race ride at Cheltenham and his first win at a now defunct racecourse close to the Victorian border. The fifty five year old remembers the support he received from some prominent Adelaide trainers. He looks back on a “loan-out” to Cranbourne trainer Colin Alderson. During this time Peter Hayes sent a horse to Melbourne to run in the inaugural C.S Hayes Stakes at Moonee Valley. Young Simon gained the ride and it was a dream result. We randomly reminisce with Price about some of his favourite horses beginning with the Russell Cameron trained Shavano Miss- an unpleasant mare with great ability. Simon looks back on a surprise phone call from the Waterhouse stable and the offer of a Doncaster ride. He thought someone was “pulling his leg.”  He looks back on a brief association with the Leon Corstens trained Cherontessa which led to a win in the Gr 1 South Australian Oaks. Simon couldn't believe his luck when history repeated itself the following year. WA owner Bob Peters sent Miss Margaret to Peter Hayes for a three race campaign. Simon got the ride and won the Gr 3 Auraria, ran second in the Australasian Oaks before winning the Gr 1 South Australian Oaks.  The jockey enjoyed several successful stints in Singapore including one twelve month stay. He was delighted to win the 1998 Gr 1 Singapore Gold Cup on the Malcolm Thwaites trained Three Crowns. It was the last Cup to be staged at the Bukit Timah track. Six weeks later Simon rode Three Crowns in the Melbourne Cup, and was deeply saddened when the genuine gelding broke down at the top of the straight. Simon had little hesitation in declaring Fields Of Omagh to be the best horse he rode in a race. The jockey was on board for three of the gelding's South Australian wins. One of those wins was at Cheltenham the other two at Victoria Park. Both tracks have subsequently been closed. Price had a big opinion of the brilliant but unsound mare La Baraka. He won two Group 3 races on the daughter of Euclase and hasn't forgotten her glaring conformation faults. Most Adelaide jockeys greatly value wins in the Goodwood Hcp and the Adelaide Cup. He regrets not being able to win either. He ran second in both races to horses ridden by the same top Victorian jockey. Simon says a busy work routine has helped him deal with a difficult time since the passing of his wife Belinda. He pays tribute to sons Will and Ben and daughter Abby who has in turn given him two adored grandsons. The elder Price reviews the careers so far of sons Will and Ben. Both young jockeys are currently settled in Adelaide where they're getting good support from prominent stables.  I remember the days in the broadcast box when I'd watch Adelaide races in between Sydney events. Simon Price won a huge number of those races. Great to welcome him as a podcast guest.

The end of the financial year presents a prime opportunity for brokers to move from reactive, single-product lending to more connected solutions for SME clients. Reid Davidson, state lead for Victoria, South Australia, and Tasmania at commercial lender Lumi, joins In Focus to discuss how brokers can support SMEs as they actively seek to connect the dots between working capital, asset finance, and property. He discusses the growing expectation for brokers to operate as "full-capital advisers"; explains the structural and process challenges that can make it difficult to deliver joined-up solutions in practice; and highlights how tools, like Lumi Pulse, are designed to streamline quoting and execution, so brokers can maintain momentum during peak EOFY activity. Tune in to find out: The impact of increased volatility on structural pressures facing SMEs. Why EOFY is prompting SMEs to take a more strategic approach to funding. How brokers can deliver faster, more connected capital solutions. And much more!

Jeremy Zakis details a burgeoning mouse plague in Western and South Australia, where mice are breeding rapidly and have become resilient to standard toxins. In response, the government has authorized farmers to double the dosage of zinc phosphide bait. This surge in prey has caused a corresponding increase in snake sightings, as predators forgo hibernation to feed. Most notably, a large red-bellied black snake was discovered living inside the walls of an emergency operating theater at John Hunter Hospital. Authorities were forced to close the theater to remove the snake, which had likely been eating local mice. (3/3)1899 PERTH WA

SHOW INTRO: Welcome to Episode 88! of the NXTLVL Experience Design podcast and my conversation with Simon Ong the Deputy Chairman & Co-founder of Kingsmen Creatives in Singapore.. *                            *                                  *                                  * As we come to a different phase of our professional life you get to thinking back over the years that you invested in growing something that it was hard but it was also fun it was challenging and it was sometimes desperate sometimes you felt elation sometimes you worried about how we're going to pay the next bill there's a cycle of experience in 50 years of growing a company like that is worth reflecting on and saying ‘you know we have had big wins and we've made mistakes we've learned a lot about ourselves and how to grow a business - how to remain relevant. I think the relevancy issue means having a sense of empathy tapping into the zeitgeist around you and saying i need to relate to that because if i don't I'll become irrelevant and i can't i can't communicate The challenge is put to new leaders and old to listen, be introspective, be flexible to adjust to the sometimes overwhelming sea of change between now and next.  You hopefully get better at saying both been there done that and been there not doing that anymore period. When early in my retail design career I had, I guess I would call her a mentor, Jackie Glanz the president of a store fixture manufacturing company called MG Concepts and I recall her drilling into me some core lessons about business and marketing, namely  respond to the e-mail or phone call - immediately don't wait because everybody's time is valuable not just yours and it's a sign of respect of the other individual to get back to them right away never burn a bridge especially in the context of a retail community that once you reach a certain level everybody knows everybody else and word travels fast. Maintain your industry friendships even when they are halfway around the world. Because you just never know when you're going to come into a situation where reaching out will make the difference between growth and stagnation, or success and failure or a door opening up or door being closed. It could be with some of those relationships that you never actually do business with them with the mutual support and the benefit of connection extends beyond a project or profit in the physical sense but sometimes is more valuable in a sense of community already perhaps spiritual way the people along your path make a difference. I have often shared with people that I certainly like working on projects but in the end it's relationships that I value most. I'm sure all of us have worked on what we would presume to be great projects but the relationship chemistry just didn't work and it made what was presumed to be wonderful more woeful.  And the reverse… where projects were of average scope or prestige and ended up being prized because of the people there was a sense of community, a shared responsibility, a willingness to extend beyond what was asked for and to bring something new to the world even though it wouldn't end up winning a prize in design competition or being on the cover of a trade publication. You stayed doing one thing long enough and you actively engage in the community of your profession working with other leaders to define ideas or policies or grow an emerging cohort of young designers and architects into roles you also begin to have in a certain sense your own brand which is very much about what you believe in not necessarily what the things you bring into the world look like and certainly not a logo. Beyond the image is the intention, the ideological orientations that drive what you do every day that ultimately give meaning to the things that you focus your time on and that you hope other people align with.  Having a point of view that drives your decision-making matters.  And for the individual, as well as large international mega brands, it is important that what you do and what you say are aligned. When these two things are at odds, it's not hard to see the disconnect, and trust and credibility are critical foundational elements to long term relationships Whether those relationships are personal between you and your work colleagues or between you and your clients. In a crowded marketplace where many professional firms offer the same services and you might say are equally as good at providing them what is the differentiating factor between a client choosing you over the next guy? Sometimes, it's simply a feeling a feeling about how the relationship might progress through the phases of a project is the best way to know if the project will be successful... And this is where we bring in my guest on this episode Simon Ong… Simon Ong is the Deputy Chairman & Co-founder of Kingsmen Creatives in Singapore He oversees the strategic planning and development, as well as the creative and brand standards, of Kingsmen, a leading communication design and production group with 18 offices spanning the Asia Pacific region and North America.   After 50 years in the experience design industry, Simon is still actively engaging and is currently an honorary advisor to the Society of Interior Designers Singapore and a member of Singapore Interior Design Accreditation Council.  He served as the Chairman of the design sector of Singapore Workforce Development Agency, and a board member of SHOP!, a leading Association of Retail Environments in USA.  In 2019, he was inducted into the SHOP!

Australia's worst diphtheria outbreak in decades has spread across Northern Territory into Western Australia, Queensland and South Australia, with more than 230 [[as of May 21]] cases of the disease reported so far this year. Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations and health workers are welcoming a $7 million federal government funding package aimed at supporting the response to the outbreak. But, experts say the re-emergence of the disease exposes serious gaps in the public health system.

The Federal Government is allocating more than $7 million to roll-out more diphtheria vaccines as the outbreak worsens in the Northern Territory, Queensland, Western Australia and South Australia.

Experts are warning Australia's diphtheria outbreak — which has spread across state borders from a cluster in the Northern Territory to Western Australia, Queensland and South Australia - ノーザンテリトリーで発生したジフテリア感染は、西オーストラリア州、クイーンズランド州、南オーストラリア州へと広がっています。

Buckle up, we're heading back out into wine country, this time to the intriguing Adelaide Hills wine region in South Australia. It gets talked about a lot - but what's it really all about?Is it all about piercing, textural Chardonnay? Or fine sparkling wine? What about the perfumed Pinot Noir, the scented Shiraz..? And let's not forget the likes of Gruner Veltliner, Nebbiolo, Gamay, Barbera, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and all those natural wines. There's a real buzz around the Adelaide Hills - but how to get our heads round it all?!Happily, we have some brilliant guides in the shape of Brian Croser (Tapanappa), David LeMire MW (Shaw + Smith), Emma Wood (Wirra Wirra), Kelly Wellington (Hahndorf Hill), Liam Van Pelt (Ashton Hills), Peter Saturno (Longview) and Xavier Bizot (Daosa/Tapanappa). (Thanks also to the Adelaide Hills Wine Region for making this sponsored episode happen and giving us access to such great producers.) They talk us through things like altitude, rain, field blends, magic, wine tourism, French arrogance, organics and 'thoughtful' wines. There's even the odd bold claim (about Chardonnay) and intriguing revelation of a long-held secret (a 'subterfuge story' no less!) Oh, and we touch on why, 'people don't want to drink like their dads.'Thanks for tuning in. We love to hear from you so please do get in touch! Send us a voice message via Speakpipe.
