In this episode of the 20 Years of Women on Boards podcast, Claire Braund OAM speaks with Nadia Moffatt OAM, a South Australian non-executive director, governance specialist and long-standing consumer advocate whose board career has been shaped by resilience, independence and a determination to ensure different perspectives are heard. Nadia's story begins with her Italian migrant family and an early introduction to business, helping with her father's accounts and compliance from a young age. At just 12, her life changed dramatically when she suffered a major brain haemorrhage. After being told she may never walk again, Nadia embarked on a long rehabilitation journey, eventually returning to school, completing Year 12 and beginning university. That experience would go on to influence a career grounded in consumer advocacy and representation. Nadia discusses how she moved into governance, the challenges of building a board career when you bring something different to the table, and why listening to a broad range of perspectives leads to better decision-making. She also explores the value of diversity in the boardroom, arguing that it should be embedded throughout organisations rather than treated simply as a compliance exercise. For Nadia, diversity is most powerful when combined with the skills, governance experience and strategic capability boards need. A long-standing Women on Boards member, Nadia also reflects on the role WOB has played in building her confidence and capability, including learning she believes contributed to securing an Energy and Water Ombudsman board appointment. It is a candid conversation about overcoming adversity, finding your voice, bringing lived experience into governance and continuing to pursue opportunities even when the pathway to the boardroom isn't straightforward. Asked to describe her journey in three words, Nadia chooses: "Challenging, rewarding and engaging."   Learn more about Women on Board www.womenonboards.net/join

JP Drake is joined by South Australian media personality, radio host and entrepreneur Andrew “Cosi” Costello for a wide-ranging conversation about his incredible journey, the experiences that shaped him and his passion for giving back to the community. Cosi shares how he became a true South Aussie, what life was like behind the scenes of The Biggest Loser, and some of the hilarious stories along the way - including the infamous giant cockroach theft. The pair also discuss Cosi's latest venture, his vision for helping the community, and what drives him to keep making a difference.

She was a Bavarian baroness, a childhood playmate of Bavarian royalty, fluent in seven languages, and widowed with two children by her early twenties. Somehow she ended up, more than a decade later, presiding over Government House in Adelaide for the entirety of the First World War, married to a man a historian later called the most pernicious governor South Australia ever had. In episode 439, Susan Neuhaus, author of A Woman in a Thousand: Lady Marie Galway, South Australia, and the Great War, sits down with fellow author Lainie Anderson at the Mortlock Library launch to unpack a story that folds together German suspicion, Catholic prejudice, secret concentration camps, peacock-hunting governors and a genuinely radical stand for equal pay. Paul Burnett, the man behind Galway Pipe’s fortified wines, joins Steve Davis to pour the rare 25-year-old tawny that carries Sir Henry Galway’s name, for the South Australian Drink of the Week. Steve rounds out the episode with the Musical Pilgrimage, previewing his own composition And Drink to Us, a modern-day Greek folk song imagining an uprising against a tyrant laying waste to a beloved town, inspired partly by Lady Marie’s story and partly by Steve’s own frustrations with short-termism in South Australian leadership.

Running Sheet: Lady Marie Galway And Her Husband’s Pipe 00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:05:37 SA Drink Of The Week Steve Davis welcomed regular guest Paul Burnett, who steers the fortified wine program behind Galway Pipe, to pour a genuine rarity: the 25-year-old Rare Tawny, presented in a gift box dripping with the kind of heraldic livery Sir Henry Galway himself would have approved of. Burnett explained that a “pipe” is simply a large barrel, roughly 500 litres, which Sir Henry would personally select to serve visiting dignitaries at Government House. Fittingly, Burnett’s own team once repeated the ritual for a modern-day governor, presenting six base tawnies to Government House and letting the current occupants choose their favourite for a bespoke blend. Tasting notes ran from cathedral organ tones and rancio to fruitcake, nutmeg and dried orange peel, with Steve reaching for an unlikely comparison: a luxury car’s suspension, so smooth and integrated you barely notice the road beneath you. At roughly $100 a bottle and 18.5 per cent alcohol, Burnett’s advice was blunt: don’t save it for a special occasion, because opening it is the special occasion, since all the ageing has already been done. Refrigerate after opening, he suggested, and gather six or seven friends, because at 7.3 standard drinks a bottle, this is one built for sharing rather than saving. 00:25:30 Susan Neuhaus and Lainie Anderson Lady Marie Galway arrived in Adelaide in April 1914 as the new governor’s wife, greeted with what Susan Neuhaus called a celebrity welcome: Outer Harbor decked in flags, bands playing, crowds packing the town hall for a glimpse of her and Sir Henry. Lainie Anderson put it more bluntly on the night: they arrived like the Beatles of their day. Nobody in that crowd could have known that within four months the world would be at war, and that this elegant, seven-language-speaking baroness, half Bavarian, half Anglo-Irish, and a practising Catholic in an overwhelmingly Protestant colony, would spend the next four years quietly running the state’s entire volunteer war effort out of the stables at Government House. The contrast with her husband could not have been starker. Sir Henry Galway, twenty years her senior and a career colonial administrator, married Marie in England in August 1913, and it was only a week after the wedding that the announcement came that he was to be South Australia’s seventeenth governor. Neuhaus is clear that this was, by all accounts, an arranged marriage, though she admits she isn’t certain why. He was, in Neuhaus’s telling, a man whose idea of a good afternoon was hunting peacocks, who opposed votes for women, dismissed returned soldiers as lazy, and drew so many complaints to the Colonial Office that a historian later described him as the most disliked governor the state ever had. Marie, ever discreet, left no recorded complaint about him. The closest anyone got was a Broken Hill mayor warning her that angry locals might throw Sir Henry out a window, to which she reportedly replied that the mayor had better tell him that himself. While Henry postured, Marie built institutions that still stand today. Within days of war breaking out she received a telegram asking her to establish South Australia’s first Red Cross, and did, turning the Government House stables into a sorting depot for socks, knitting and parcels bound for the front. She founded the Lady Galway Convalescent Home at Glenelg, backed the Cheer Up Society, edited a fundraising book for Belgian relief that roped in contributors from Douglas Mawson to C.J. Dennis, and, most strikingly for 1914, stood before the Chamber of Commerce and insisted that women moving into clerical and bookkeeping roles be paid the same rate as men. That last point matters more than it might first appear, given the world she was navigating. As the war ground on, anti-German hysteria swept South Australia: German-owned shops on Rundle Street had rocks thrown through their windows, the German language was banned outright, churches at Angaston and Edithburgh were burned down, and a concentration camp operated on Torrens Island, just twelve miles from her front door. Neuhaus admits she still doesn’t know how much Marie knew of what was happening there, but the enigma at the centre of the book is really Marie herself: a woman of German and Catholic heritage who somehow escaped the press scrutiny and public suspicion that consumed almost everyone else who shared her background, and who left South Australia so beloved that the Catholic Archbishop credited her with inspiring a generation of women to believe in their own capabilities. Additional ResourcesA Woman in a Thousand: Lady Marie Galway, South Australia, and the Great War by Susan Neuhaus is available now, with the launch hosted by the State Library of South Australia at the Mortlock Library. Murder Mystery Writer, Lainie Anderson. The Virtual War Memorial Australia, of which Susan Neuhaus is patron, holds further resources on South Australians’ First World War history. 01:12:52 Musical Pilgrimage In the Musical Pilgrimage this week we listen to And Drink To Us by Steve Davis & The Virtualosos. Steve closed the episode with And Drink to Us, a new track from Steve Davis and The Virtuosos. Reflecting on Lady Marie Galway’s willingness to put her position and Government House’s resources to work for people who genuinely needed help, Steve found himself thinking about agitation and resistance against destructive leadership throughout history, sharpened by a recent re-read of The Iliad and viewing of The Odyssey. The result is a modern-day Greek folk song, cast as a flight of fancy, following a narrator preparing to fight a tyrant who is destroying their town: a haunting, olive-tree-and-candlelight ballad of farewell, defiance and shared wine while there’s still time. Steve floated the hope that a Greek performer might one day breathe further life into the track.Support the show: https://theadelaideshow.com.au/listen-or-download-the-podcast/adelaide-in-crowd/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Potatoes and onions might be everyday ingredients, but there’s nothing ordinary about what goes into growing them, choosing the right varieties, or getting them from paddock to plate. In this episode of Straight To The Source, Lucy Allon sits down with John Tselekidis, Chief Commercial Officer of Mitolo Family Farms, one of Australia’s biggest fresh market potato and onion producers, to give these kitchen staples the attention they deserve. John takes us behind the scenes of fresh produce at scale, where up to 80 potato varieties can be in trial at any one time and developing a new variety can take up to a decade. And yes, the potato you choose really can make or break your mash, roasties or baked spud. They dig into the story behind Mitolo’s Low Carb potato, the nutritional value of potatoes and onions, and why these affordable ingredients are more relevant than ever as chefs juggle flavour, trends, dietary demands, sustainability and rising food costs. There’s also plenty on innovation, reducing waste, what’s happening on farm, and how chefs and food trends influence what gets planted next. From South Australian paddocks to restaurant kitchens, supermarkets and dinner tables across the country, this is the bigger story behind two ingredients we all think we know. Turns out, potatoes and onions have a lot more going on than we give them credit for! What You’ll Hear in This Episode Growing potatoes year-round: How South Australia’s growing regions enable Mitolo to harvest quality potatoes throughout the year. Why potato variety matters: How different varieties perform for mash, roasting, baking and other culinary applications.

The nutrition of Australian onions: The often overlooked benefits of onions, from gut health and antioxidants to healthy ageing. Connecting chefs to the farm: Straight To The Source’s work with Hort Innovation and Australian Onions, bringing chefs and health professionals to Mitolo Family Farms. How chefs inspire innovation: How culinary trends influence Mitolo’s potato and onion innovation. Food trends driving new ideas: From smashed potatoes and plant-based dishes to global flavours and creative alternatives to pastry. Sustainable farming: How cover crops, crop rotation, soil management and shorter growing cycles support more sustainable production. Big potential from humble ingredients: How potatoes and onions deliver flavour, nutrition and value while helping chefs manage food costs. Fresh produce logistics: The supply chain and freight partnerships behind moving tonnes of Australian produce around the country and overseas.

As a youngster Tony McEvoy looked forward to a long career as a jockey. As it turned out he was just 19 when increasing weight put an end to that dream, but not before he'd topped a century of wins. His talents in the saddle and devotion to duty saw him rewarded with two amazing opportunities at Gr 1 level in 1977. Young Mc Evoy rode a copybook race on Deesse to win the South Australian Oaks. He went tantalisingly close to completing the 3YO classic double when So Called went under narrowly to Stormy Rex in the Derby. His training career began under tragic circumstances when appointed head trainer for Lindsay Park following the death of Peter Hayes in a light aircraft crash in 2001. Tony's subsequent journey has been one of racing's greatest stories. The master horseman takes us on a sentimental journey on this week's podcast. He begins by talking about he and son Calvin's dual operation at Flemington and Ballarat. Tony looks back on Calvin's early fascination with racing. He says racehorses dominated his every thought while growing up in the Barossa Valley.  He looks back on early days in Streaky Bay on the Eyre Peninsula and pays tribute to his parents. Mother Connie is still living independently at a remarkable age. Tony looks back on his first apprenticeship with local trainer Bill Holland. His nephew Kerrin started with the same astute trainer. He clearly remembers the thrill of his first winning ride at Balaclava on a horse trained by the local race caller. Tony talks of a transfer to champion trainer Colin Hayes and the highlights of his brief but successful riding career. He looks back on a near miss in attempting the Oaks/Derby double. He pays tribute to two outstanding mares he got to ride for the Lindsay Park operation. The veteran horseman speaks affectionately of his personal favourite among the Hayes trained horses. Tony looks back on his delight when offered a job on the Lindsay Park team following his retirement from race riding. He reflects on the shock accident that claimed the life of Peter Hayes and the sadness that followed at Lindsay Park. With David Hayes already committed to a Hong Kong contract, Tony was appointed head trainer at the famous Angaston operation. He was privileged to train the classy Fields Of Omagh during this initial stint, and was thrilled to win the SA Oaks twenty six years after he'd won the race as a jockey. Tony looks back on the decision by David Hayes in 2010 to move the entire Lindsay Park operation to Victoria. He says he gave strong consideration to remaining on the team but received opposition from daughter Eliza and son Calvin. He pays tribute to wife, Jo, whom he met at Lindsay Park during her time as a valued trackwork rider.   Tony takes us through the fascinating story of his friendship with Wayne Mitchell  who eventually purchased the Lindsay Park training operation. Wayne remains Tony's business partner. Like most South Australian participants Tony says he was thrilled to win the historic Goodwood Hcp shortly before relocating to Victoria. The trainer takes us through the fairy tale story of the purchase of Half Yours and the gelding's spectacular rise in the staying ranks last spring. For he and Calvin, it was a dream come true so early in their partnership. We obviously devote the appropriate space to McEvoy's recollection of Sunlight's short but brilliant career. Tony pays a fitting tribute to his four time Gr 1 winning warrior Hey Doc. He acknowledges his SA Derby win with good filly Coco Sun. Tony and Calvin were pretty excited when their French import Yellow Jersey began his spring campaign in Saturday's Heatherlie Stakes at Caulfield. Tony shares the backstory. He talks of another French import they have in the stable who recently strung together 4 straight city wins. Nearco Frod is raced by an OTI syndicate. Tony McEvoy's journey in racing is the kind of story podcasts are made for. Delighted to have him share that story on this week's edition.

Chasing money almost destroyed their business. Rushad Pavri and Shannon Bow nearly lost the whole thing before they worked out that the goal they were chasing was the exact problem, and the same trap is quietly capping owners everywhere. Rushad and Shannon are the founders of Integral Built, a South Australian cladding company, and in this episode they're honest with Michael about the early crisis that nearly ended it. The high turnover, the dissatisfaction, the sense of being stuck in a cycle they couldn't break. What they did to pull out of it flipped their whole approach, and it's the part most business owners get backwards. They get into the restructure that saved the company, how getting clear on their values and vision changed everything, and the counterintuitive call they made about who they'd work with that most owners are too scared to make. Two friends running a business 50/50 usually ends in disaster. Rushad and Shannon explain why theirs is one of the rare ones that works. They also open up about the personal side, the self-awareness that changed how they lead, the habits they had to drop to think clearly, and why they treat themselves as a mirror for the standards of their whole team. They finish on the challenge keeping them up at night right now, one almost every business in a trade or service industry is feeling, and how they're changing their approach to solve it. If you've ever felt like the harder you chase growth the worse things get, this conversation will show you a different way through. In this episode: Why chasing money quietly sabotages your growth The reset that turns a struggling business around The counterintuitive client decision most owners are too scared to make Why the usual approach to growth works against you How a 50/50 partnership actually survives The self-awareness shift that changes how you lead The habits worth dropping to make clearer decisions The hiring challenge almost every trade business is facing right now Official channel and episode of the Winning Standards Podcast hosted by Michael Mojo.
