Google has updated their gemini model to 3.8 - it's pretty flash! PUN INTENDED. I know you guys only come here for the AI generated shownotes so this is brought to you by 3.8 Flash (Extended) which I got for free on a google program for students. Hit me up if you want to know how to cash it in - it's pretty sweet. You too could be making shownotes for several Jacks. Episode SummaryIn Episode 171 of The Two Jacks, hosts Jack the Insider and Hong Kong Jack unpack a consequential week in Australian federal and state politics, international developments, and sporting turmoil. The show begins with an in-depth post-mortem of the Secret Harbour by-election in Western Australia, where One Nation secured a shock victory amid massive double-digit swings against both Labor and the Liberal Party. The Jacks dissect focus group findings illustrating the visceral disconnect between ordinary Australians and the major-party political class, alongside the cringe-inducing social media gimmicks employed by politicians who talk down to the public. The discussion turns to diplomatic missteps, including Australia's pre-COP attendance troubles in the Pacific and the limitations of using a new PNG NRL franchise as a soft-diplomacy counterweight to foreign influence. In New South Wales, the hosts examine Premier Chris Minns's second-guessing of police crowd control at the Sydney Opera House protests and push back against a controversial parliamentary inquiry into historical cold cases that threatens to air unsubstantiated allegations against Ivan Milat under parliamentary privilege. The episode also tackles the economic catastrophe of Australia's runaway tobacco excise, which has created a thriving organised crime black market, before debating listener feedback on teenage alcohol consumption at private school functions and overzealous RSA crackdowns. On the world stage, the Jacks cover Spain's escalating border crisis in Ceuta and Melilla, undercover foreign-funding scandals surrounding Nigel Farage's Reform UK, European Union proposals to pool private savings, and the technique of "flooding the zone" in US politics. The show concludes with analysis of North Melbourne parting ways with Alastair Clarkson, an update on the AFL and NRL finals races, reflections on crowd declines in Test cricket, and a heartfelt tribute to the life and legacy of Indigenous boxing great Tony Mundine.

Last week, police found the body of missing teen hiker Lily Hooper in the Southern Highlands in NSW. It brought to a close an 8-day search involving more than 200 emergency service personel to find the 18-year-old girl. But before her death was confirmed, her family was actually first told that she had been found alive. Ant that initial - and inaccurate - information went from the search area all the way to NSW Parliament, within minutes. We'll explain how it all unfolded on today's podcast.

It was champion jockey Kerrin McEvoy who strongly recommended Shane Green as a potential podcast guest. The two became friends when Shane was working for the Darley organisation and Kerrin was under retainer as stable jockey. It's taken a while to make it happen, but we have the ever versatile Mr. Green on the podcast this week. He begins by talking about his enduring friendship with the multiple Gr 1 winning jockey.  Shane says his current role as an NDIS carer came out of the blue. He talks about Darwin's many appealing features.  Shane was just 10 years old when he became a regular at Dapto dogs. He recalls  standing outside the broadcast box hanging on every word uttered by a famous caller of the day. He says he was almost 16 when given the opportunity to call the Moss Vale dogs at very short notice. His father got him the job. Shane has never forgotten the persistent kid from Sydney who regularly attended Moss Vale meetings pleading for the chance to call a race or two. He finally relented and unwittingly laid the foundations for a high profile career. The 64 year old talks about a later appointment as on course caller at the Nowra greyhounds. He handled broadcasting duties at Moss Vale and Nowra for many years. Shane first played Rugby League at age 6. He looks back on his progression from the under 7's to the under 18's and finally to the Country Seconds side.  He remembers a brief but successful coaching career after a nasty injury terminated his playing days. Shane says he had the “wanderlust” from an early age. He looks back on a rewarding stint at a Western Australian thoroughbred stud. He later worked for a prominent Ascot trainer. Back home on the Southern Highlands he became friendly with the father of a prominent Sydney horseman who happened to hold a key role at a huge training operation. Shane says he followed up promptly. The interview got off to a bad start. His efficiency in the new job later led to an interstate transfer.  Shane got to look after some outstanding horses during his time in Melbourne. He talks about a couple of special ones. He reflects on several happy years with a succession of leading trainers.  Shane talks about his very first trip to Alice Springs and an opportunity to get back into the broadcasting business. He also got to help out in a leading Alice Springs stable. During his eleven years as Pioneer Park  broadcaster Shane trained horses in his own right. He looks back on the difficulty associated with doing two jobs. He has no doubt about the best horse he's seen in the Northern Territory.  Kerrin McEvoy said this bloke would make a very interesting podcast guest. He was right!

High on the slopes of Ben Lui in the Southern Highlands, a quiet restoration is underway. In this episode, we join volunteers and NatureScot staff for a day of tree planting on one of Scotland's finest National Nature Reserves. Peter Kelly, Operations Officer at NatureScot, tells us all about the effort to bring back montane scrub — a rare habitat of dwarf trees and low shrubs that once covered Scotland's uplands but has been pushed to the edge of extinction by centuries of intensive grazing. From spiky exclosures and GPS-collared cattle to the painstaking work of planting woolly and downy willow on steep crags in all weathers, this episode explores what it really takes to restore a lost piece of Scotland's natural landscape — and why it matters.

Jeremy Zakis discusses the onset of a "super El Niño" weather pattern impacting both the United States and Australia. While currently experiencing unusually wet and cold conditions in New South Wales, Australia is preparing for catastrophic drought and bushfires by December. The discussion highlights differences in fire management between California's forced evacuations and Australia's choice-based approach, emphasizing the danger of combustible eucalyptus trees near homes.

Suggest an interview for Cheryl Lee or let us know who your favorite interviewee is so farJoin Cheryl Lee - That Radio Chick on STILL ROCKIN' IT for news, reviews, music and interviews with some of our favourite Australian musiciansMick Arnold doesn't chase the spotlight, but his story belongs in it. We catch up with the Rose Tattoo guitarist in the Zoom room and pull back the curtain on a career built on passion, persistence, and a serious love of loud rock and roll. From his school days in the Southern Highlands to picking up guitar and finding his own sound without a musical family behind him, Mick's path feels honest, grounded, and very Australian.We talk about the bands that shaped him before Rose Tattoo, the classic grind of learning through cover gigs, and the leap into originals and songwriting. Mick shares why collaboration matters to him, why songs need the right “vehicle” to really come alive, and yes, how a few beers can help the ideas flow. Then we get into the moments every rock fan dreams about: getting the call to play with the band he'd loved since 1977, touring, and the unreal Sydney night Rose Tattoo opened for Slash, with Slash jumping up to jam onstage.There's real-life wisdom here too. Mick breaks down how he balanced music with a trade job welding at Cockatoo Island, why having a backup plan kept the wheels turning with a mortgage and kids, and why musicians rarely ever feel “done.” We also look ahead to Rose Tattoo's 50-year milestone, what retirement might mean for touring, and the possibility of new recordings and even one last album's worth of songs.If you love Australian rock history, guitar stories, and the behind-the-scenes reality of life in a working band, hit play.

Ironwood by Michael Connelly Sworn to protect a scenic island meant to be far from the evils of the mainland, Detective Sergeant Stilwell can feel danger closing in. Stilwell knows that his posting on Catalina Island is no paradise, but to most residents, it seems blissfully separated—by twenty-two miles of ocean—from the troubles of Los Angeles County. But now a threat is coming to his safe haven. Acting on a tip from a confidential informant, Stilwell and his deputies watch a plane land in the middle of the night at the Airport in the Sky, a remote airstrip in the mountains. A duffel bag of drugs is dropped and the deputies move in, but things quickly go sideways. While Stilwell chases the fleeing pickup man into the mountainside brush, shots are fired on the runway and the plane flies off. An internal inquiry follows, putting Stilwell on the bench until he is cleared of responsibility for the disastrous operation. But he is determined to find out who brought deadly violence to his island, and begins his own secret investigation into the drug deal gone wrong. While under orders to remain in the sheriff's substation, he finds in the lost and found a valuable backpack that was never claimed. He traces it to a woman who disappeared while hiking on the island four years ago. But then why was the pack only turned in two months back? Now thoroughly intrigued, he follows the mystery all the way to the LAPD's Open-Unsolved Unit and Detective Renée Ballard. Stilwell and Ballard work the case from both sides of the channel, and soon realize they are on the trail of a criminal who revels in taunting the authorities. Meanwhile, frustrated at being shut out of an investigation on his own island, Stilwell risks his already shaky standing in the department to pursue a case whose reach is wider than he ever imagined. The Bookshop of Buried Pasts by Sarah Clutton Phyllida Banks is adored in the tiny village of Brookbank, nestled in the Southern Highlands outside Sydney. Admired for her curiosity and wisdom, her antiquarian bookshop is the hub of the community. So, when Phyllida is suddenly gone, leaving her granddaughter, Lottie, a letter requesting she 'Find Francis', friends and neighbours rally as Lottie grapples with her grandmother's inexplicable actions and her enigmatic past. Uncovering a fortune of unknown origin, Lottie discovers a trail that leads to Cambridgeshire, England, and another village bookshop with eerie similarities to their own. As the decades unravel, she stumbles upon the key to a mystery that has baffled police for fifty years. Several people have gone to great lengths to keep the past buried, and it seems Phyllida is at the heart of everything. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gary has a chat with artist Julie Nicholson about her show, Nostalgia, opening May 21st at CBD Gallery in Sydney. Julie has recently exhibited with CBD Gallery at the Aotearoa Art Fair (NZ), and her work has been widely recognised in national awards such as the Paddington Art Prizre and the Muswellbrook, and held in private collections in Australia and overseas. She co-hosts the popular arts podcast, Art Wank.Her duo solo exhibition, Nostalgia, stems from a sense of homesickness after moving from the UK to Australia at the age of 23. A deep sense of nostalgia has shaped her life, and only recently did she discover that nostalgia was once considered a disease. The works in this exhibition sit within that tension, posing the question of whether nostalgia is something that nurtures us, or something that holds us back.Many of the canvases in the exhibition are split across multiple panels, reflecting the fractured experience of trying to locate familiarity within a foreign landscape. Moments of recognition such as sketching in Berrima in the Southern Highlands, where the landscape can feel momentarily like home are interrupted by distinctly Australian elements, like a palm tree or native plant, which jolt her back into the awareness of distance and displacement.Julie has also titled many of the works using Old English words for landscape elements—such as weald, meaning forest. This reflects her interest in etymology and the evolution of language over time. Just as words shift, fall out of use, and take on new meanings, her understanding of the Australian landscape has also changed. Language, like memory, holds a connection to the past while continually adapting to the present, mirroring her experience of navigating place, identity, and belonging. Hosted on Acast.

Soo Woods, our guest, is the owner of a healing center in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, Australia, where she cares for 15 therapy horses on her 106-acre regenerated property and offers accommodations and wellness programs. Set on 106 picturesque acres in NSW Southern Highlands, the primary intention of The Highlands Centre, is to help people return to nature, to spend time with animals, plants, insects ... just as our ancestors did. Why? Our modern world with its fast pace and high use of technology has caused us to disconnect from our origins. This disconnection results in anxiety, depression, mental health concerns, failing physical health and more. We discuss the therapeutic benefits of working with horses for personal growth and healing, highlighting the importance of breathwork, self-regulation, and creating safe spaces for individuals to process trauma. Soo shares her experience of running the Centre, retreats, workshops, and individual sessions using her herd of 15 therapy horses. We explored how working with horses can help individuals become more self-aware, manage emotions, and improve leadership skills. Soo shared her deep connection with and responsibility for the land, which she has been regenerating after previous use as a dairy run. She described the land's energy and the presence of indigenous activity, as well as her role as both a matriarch and a stallion figure in the herd of horses she cares for. Our conversation discussed the importance of self-regulation and emotional awareness in leadership and decision-making. Soo explained how deep breathing can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting calmness and better decision-making. They also explored the potential for workshops and retreats, including offerings for school leadership teams, using the accommodation on site to create a conducive environment for reflection and strategic thinking. Listen in as we go further into the healing experiences in a safe environment for processing and clearing stuck emotional energy. Soo explained her horse-assisted therapy practice, describing how her 15 horses, many with over a decade of experience, interact with clients and demonstrate unique behaviors. She emphasized that while she facilitates and observes, the therapy ultimately focuses on the clients' experiences and emotional processing. Soo also discussed the importance of proper horse care and workload management, noting that her horses work at liberty with choice and have each other for co-regulation in a natural environment. Self-care and personal development, particularly for women over 30 who are willingly seeking change, is offered through the holistic wellbeing retreats that incorporate various modalities including yoga, breathwork, tapping, and sound baths where the emphasis on the importance of balancing mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being is upfront and unique for each person.

Welcome to this episode of Thriving Matters. Our guest is Ryan Noonan, Leader of Digital Technologies and Innovation at Chevalier College, a day school with approximately 1,000 secondary students in the Southern Highlands, NSW, Australia. Listen in as we discuss a number of topics that impact how digital technologies and AI in education are ethically and inclusively drive classroom teaching and prepare students for future workplaces by emphasizing creativity, collaboration, and communication. Ryan highlighted the College's unique approach, centered on the "heart" of education, which includes academic skills, self-understanding, and capabilities, with a focus on wellbeing and personalized learning. He noted that while all students can benefit from these approaches with support, the pace of achievement varies. Ryan discussed the whole of community approach to their innovative teaching and learning framework centered around empathy and purpose, starting with self and community to build ethical skills. He emphasized the importance of assessing capabilities, particularly in younger students, and balancing academic rigor with practical workplace skills. Ryan highlighted the challenge of implementing frameworks across 100 teachers and stressed the need for dedicated support to facilitate change. You will hear actual teaching examples of using digital technologies and AI tools, specifically with Year 7 students. Ryan explained how students are encouraged to use tools like Google, Microsoft, and Canva to create personalized products, emphasizing the importance of effective prompting and understanding AI biases. Ryan also shared an example of redesigning assessments in Physical Education to incorporate AI-driven debates, allowing students to demonstrate their knowledge quickly and under time pressure. He stressed that AI use in the classroom always begins with student thinking, often through activities like quick writes, to ensure that AI responses are tailored to the student's prior understanding. He also highlighted a remarkable student achievement, where a Year 11 student developed a translation glove for the deaf, which was recognized by NASA for its innovative design. Ryan discussed Chev's strategy for integrating AI into education, focusing on three key areas: clarity, consistency, and capacity. He explained that they provide clear guidelines for AI use, ensure equal access to AI tools for all students, and build capacity among students, teachers, and parents. Ryan noted that while some students and parents are hesitant about AI, overall there hasn't been significant backlash. Ryan shared the ethical considerations of using AI tools in education, including student privacy, environmental impact, and bias. He emphasized the importance of teaching students to critically evaluate AI responses and avoid cognitive offloading. Ryan also predicted that within 5 years, AI agents will become more prevalent in the workplace, potentially impacting entry-level jobs and the way students are prepared for the future workforce. A very interesting and timely opportunity to amp up our response to using AI as tools for learning and teaching.

In this episode of Lead Well Live Well, I sit down with Henry Yuill, Owner of The Shed Fitness Centre, to explore the leadership principles behind sustainable growth, strong teams, and real impact. We talk about courage, culture and compassion, and why most leadership challenges are not about people, but about clarity. Henry shares the journey of building his business from the ground up, the mistakes along the way, and how clear standards, consistency, and shared values shape a team that works together rather than against each other. We also explore what it means to scale a business without losing its identity, and why culture must be built deliberately, not left to chance. Beyond business, Henry opens up about his personal experience of managing type 1 diabetes, and how that challenge has strengthened his discipline, resilience, and perspective as a leader. This is a practical and honest conversation for leaders who want to create alignment, build strong culture, and lead with both conviction and care.

After years as an art critic writing about art, art consultant Michael Reid decided to take the plunge into the business side of the market and become a gallerist. He had his university degrees, but Michael Reid knew his strongest foundation actually came from his time spent honing expertise and his business sense inside Christie’s, the massive global art world juggernaut.

Somewhere in the world, a girl is married every three seconds. The rates vary in the Pacific, however in Papua New Guinea 27 per cent of women aged 20 to 24 were married before they turned 18. And in some countries, like Solomon Islands, the legal age of marriage is 15 with parental or judicial consent.  The organisation Girls Not Brides works around the world to put an end to child marriages. It says child marriage can disrupt a girl's education, lead to birth trauma and is often associated with gender-based violence. Sistas Let's Talk host Natasha Meten speaks with three women who have witnessed firsthand the impacts of child marriage in their communities. They include Jascinta Eket, a maternal health nurse who has spent more than three decades working in the Southern Highlands of Papua New Guinea; Joyce Koupere from World Vision Papua New Guinea; and Ellen Kahui, who is part of Save the Children's Make it 18 campaign, lobbying for the legal age of marriage in the Solomon Islands to be raised to 18 for all girls.

She then courageously shares the story of her son Alby, whose life was tragically cut short at 17 months due to complications from congenital CMV - a preventable condition that Hannah is now passionate about raising awareness for.

In this episode of The Embellish Pod, we embark on a journey through the diverse and storied world of Highland whiskeys. If you stumbled upon this episode by chance, don't forget to hit the subscribe button to stay updated with our latest content. You can find video versions of this podcast on YouTube and all my links on Instagram and TikTok at @embellishpod. For more details, visit my website at www.embellishpod.com Exploring the Highlands Welcome to the Highlands, Scotland's largest and most diverse whiskey region. This vast area, encompassing everything north of an imaginary line from Greenock to Dundee (excluding Speyside), is known for its dramatic geographical contrasts and equally diverse whiskey styles. The region is divided into distinct sub-areas: Northern Highlands, Southern Highlands, East Highlands, and Western Highlands, each contributing unique characteristics to their whiskeys. Tasting Session During this episode, we feature four different Highland whiskeys: Dalmore 12 Year Old Dalmore 18 Year Old Glendronach Allardyce 18 Year Old Glenmorangie Signet Distillery Highlights Dalmore: Founded in 1839, Dalmore is known for its iconic stag logo and the expertise of Master Distiller Richard Patterson. The distillery uses innovative cask finishing techniques and water from the River Averon, creating whiskeys with rich, luxurious character. Glendronach: Founded in 1826, Glendronach is famous for its exclusive use of Spanish oak casks for maturation. The distillery's commitment to sherry cask maturation and traditional production methods creates consistent quality in their releases. Glenmorangie: Founded in 1843, Glenmorangie is known for its tall pot stills and innovative wood finishing techniques. The distillery's most distinctive expression, Signet, uses chocolate malt to create unprecedented flavors in Scottish whiskey. Highland Park: Founded in 1798, Highland Park embraces its Viking heritage and unique environmental conditions on Orkney. The distillery's traditional floor maltings and use of Orcadian peat create a signature balance between smoke and sweetness. Glassware and Tasting Notes We use the Glendale Whiskey Nosing Glass for this tasting session. This tulip-shaped glass enhances the nosing experience, revealing subtle aromatics and helping to distinguish between different Highland characteristics. However, it may not be ideal for all whiskey styles, and personal preference plays a significant role in the tasting experience. This episode showcases the remarkable range of Highland whiskeys, from traditional to innovative expressions. Each whiskey maintains its Highland identity while exploring different possibilities. The diversity within the Highland region makes it Scotland's most fascinating whiskey area. Join us in the next episode as we travel to Islay, where peat smoke and Atlantic storms create some of the world's most intense and distinctive whiskeys.

Coming to you from Equitana in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, Warwick interviews Brett Parbery in front of a live audience as a part of the Equitana programming. Brett Parbery was born to ride, growing up in Dorrigo, NSW, in a family deeply immersed in horse culture. His father professionally broke and trained horses, specializing in cattle horse sports like campdrafting and cutting, and Brett was involved in stable life from a young age, helping train horses before and after school. Weekends were spent competing in various equestrian activities, from campdrafting and polocrosse to pony club and agricultural shows, where Brett's passion for rodeo was ignited by watching saddle bronc riding at night-time events. Determined to become a cowboy, Brett pursued saddle bronc riding nationally and internationally from 1989 to 2000, consistently ranking among Australia's top 20 riders. However, his love for training horses led him to transition to dressage, and in 2000, he moved to Europe to train under top professionals before returning home to establish his own stable. Over the years, Brett has excelled in dressage, representing Australia at two World Equestrian Games and earning numerous accolades, including over 30 Australian Championships and a standout 2010 season featuring an 8th-place finish at the World Games in Kentucky. With extensive training under legendary riders like Edward Gal and Ulla Salzgeber, Brett developed a horse-friendly training system, which he now shares through “Performance Riders,” an online education program co-founded with Natalie Foxon to mentor riders of all levels, guiding them from foundational skills to high performance. He lives in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales with his wife Melinda and his son Jake.Wesbite: https://www.brettparbery.com.au/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PerformanceRidersInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/parberydressage/Support the showBecome a Patreon Member today!

The Berrima Courthouse in the beautiful Southern Highlands of New South Wales in Australia is a great example of colonial architecture. The courthouse was a necessity as the colony was built on convicts and many continued their wayward deeds. The village of Berrima itself was an important stop on the path from Sydney to Victoria and there were several hotels in the area. Many historic structures still remain and spirits just may be inhabiting them, including the ghost of Australia's first serial killer. Join us as we explore the history and haunts of Berrima, Australia! The Moment in Oddity features the Crawfordsville Monster and This Month in History features the birth of Edward Everett. Our location was suggested by Julie Barton.
