An independent review has backed controversial muck-spreading regulations for farms across Wales, but said improvements are needed. Stricter rules on spreading and storing manures have been phased in since 2021, against a backdrop of fierce opposition from the farming industry.

It's a popular catchphrase among politicians and policymakers: “Build more apartments, and we'll solve the housing crisis.” It sounds simple—almost too simple. And that's because it is! The idea that just increasing supply, particularly through apartment construction, will make housing affordable fails to grasp the true complexities of Australia's housing market. In reality, building more apartments is far from the magic bullet many hope it to be, and in some ways, it could even make the situation worse. In today's episode, I discuss the complexities surrounding the housing affordability crisis in Australia with Brett Warren. We challenge the notion that simply building more apartments will solve the issue, emphasising the need for quality housing that caters to various demographics. We explore the role of government policies, the challenges faced by the construction industry, and the importance of understanding market dynamics for property investors. The episode wraps up with insights on future housing trends and investment strategies. Takeaways Building more apartments isn't a simple solution to housing affordability. Quality of housing is more important than quantity. Demographic shifts are influencing housing needs and preferences. Government policies need to align with actual housing demands. The construction industry faces significant challenges that impact housing supply. Investors should focus on established properties rather than new apartments. Understanding market dynamics is crucial for successful property investment. The housing crisis is expected to persist for several years. Stricter regulations are needed to ensure quality in construction. Opportunities exist in the market despite current obstacles.

Gun Violence in South Africa: An Urgent Call for Stricter Laws by Radio Islam
Welcome back to another exciting episode of "Mick Unplugged." I'm your host, Mick Hunt, and today, we have a true sports legend joining us—none other than Rick Barry. In this episode, we dive deep into Rick's storied basketball career and his transition to success in pickleball, where he's clinched numerous national championships. We explore his unique take on game fundamentals, including his famous underhand free throw technique, and his candid critique of modern NBA play. Rick shares nostalgic tales, like his missed 1964 Olympic opportunity, and opens up about his joy and pride in his sons' basketball careers, with special mention of Canyon Barry's impact on the 3x3 basketball scene. We also venture beyond the court as Rick discusses his new passion for pickleball, his entrepreneurial ventures like founding Pickle Zone, and his dedication to promoting health and wellness products. Plus, get insights into his lifelong love for fly fishing, his upcoming engagements in Australia and New Zealand, and his wishes for unity and progress in our country. It's a conversation filled with wisdom, nostalgia, and inspiration. So, stay tuned as we unplug with the one and only Rick Barry!Takeaways: · NBA teams should consider underhand free throw technique. · Competing in pickleball and winning national championships · Disappointment over not making the 1964 Olympic team Questions & Answers: 1. Question:Mick Hunt: Rick, you've been a vocal advocate for the underhand free-throw technique. Why do you think it's not more widely adopted in today's NBA, even though it has a proven high success rate? Rick Barry: Mick, it boils down to ego and aesthetics. Players don't want to be seen as 'unconventional' or 'old-fashioned.' Despite its effectiveness, the underhand technique has a stigma. My success rate with it was over 92%, which proves its value. It's a missed opportunity for many players today. 2. Question: Mick Hunt: You've mentioned that modern NBA players often lack deep understanding of game fundamentals. What specific fundamentals do you see as being most neglected? Rick Barry: players today often overlook positioning, screening, and teamwork dynamics. Natural talent is great, but without mastering these basics, it's hard to reach full potential. A strong foundation in fundamentals is crucial for long-term success in the game. 3. Question: Mick Hunt: Let's talk about officiating. You've criticized the leniency towards moving screens and carrying violations today. How do you think stricter officiating could impact the game? Rick Barry: Better officiating would enforce proper gameplay, improving the quality and fairness of basketball. Uncalled violations allow bad habits to persist, making games sloppier. Stricter calls might slow the game initially but would elevate overall play and skill levels in the long run.

In this Special Election episode, I dive into how the upcoming 2024 election could impact the mergers and acquisitions (M&A) landscape. While many are fixated on the candidates' differing positions regarding capital gains tax—Harris suggesting an increase to 28% and Trump supporters proposing a cut to 15%— Immediate changes in this area are unlikely due to the current political gridlock. I also discuss the potential for stricter antitrust enforcement under a Biden/Harris administration. However, it's important to note that these regulations primarily affect large public company deals, leaving most M&A transactions untouched.This episode emphasizes the overarching influence of macroeconomic factors like interest rates, inflation, and general market uncertainty on deal flow. Historical trends show that election-related uncertainty usually leads to a temporary slowdown in M&A activity, but the market typically rebounds once the election results are in.PRIORITIZE LONG-TERM POLITICAL STABILITY OVER IMMEDIATE TAX CHANGES When it comes to mergers and acquisitions (M&A), the conversation often revolves around capital gains tax rates. But it's important to keep in mind that any major changes to these rates aren't likely to happen anytime soon, especially with the current political landscape. Right now, the capital gains tax rate is at 20%. There have been talks about increasing it—some Democrats have even suggested going up to 28%—while some Republicans want to lower it to around 15%. However, for any of these changes to actually take place, we'd need a more stable political environment, with one party in control of both the White House and Congress. Since we're currently in a divided government, it seems pretty unlikely that we'll see any significant shifts in the near future. So, for businesses considering M&A, it's smarter to concentrate on broader economic trends and long-term strategies rather than stressing over potential immediate tax changes.GET A GRIP ON ANTITRUST REGULATIONS AND M&AIf a Democratic administration is elected, we're likely to see a stronger focus on enforcing antitrust laws. This could mean that big companies, like Google, might find themselves under a microscope, with talks about breaking them up becoming more common. On the flip side, a Republican administration, especially under Trump, would probably take a more relaxed stance on antitrust issues, making it easier for larger mergers and acquisitions to go through. For businesses looking to make deals, it's really important to keep an eye on these regulatory shifts. Stricter antitrust enforcement could throw a wrench in their plans and affect how they approach growth through acquisitions.MACROECONOMIC TRENDS MATTER MORE THAN POLITICS M&A While political elections can create uncertainty that impacts mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity, the broader macroeconomic environment plays a more significant role in driving deal flow. There is often a slowdown in M&A activity leading up to elections due to uncertainty about potential outcomes. However, once election results are clear, activity tends to pick up as the market stabilizes. Current macro trends, such as decreasing interest rates and inflation, foster a rebound in deal flow and valuations. This reinforces the importance of focusing on economic indicators rather than getting overly caught up in the political landscape, which can lead to exaggerated fears or expectations about the economy's future.REGULATORY CHANGES CAN DRIVE DEAL FLOWRegulatory changes can have varying impacts on deal activity. While some view regulations as hindrances to business operations, they can also act as catalysts for M&A activity. Increased regulatory burdens may lead smaller firms to seek mergers or acquisitions with larger companies to navigate compliance challenges more effectively. For example, in sectors like wealth management, additional regulations have prompted many smaller firms to sell or merge with larger ones. Understanding the specific context of regulations and their effects on industries can provide valuable insights into potential deal opportunities, highlighting that regulations can create strategic advantages in the M&A landscape.TAX AND LABOR POLICIES INFLUENCE DEAL ACTIVITY The broader economic environment, shaped by tax and labor policies, plays a crucial role in M&A activity. Take the Trump tax cuts, for instance—if they expire and provisions affecting capital gains taxes aren't renewed, it could really impact business valuations and how eager companies are to make deals. That uncertainty might make businesses think twice before diving into acquisitions.Labor policies are another factor that can influence M&A. If an administration leans toward stronger union support, like what's been suggested about the Harris administration, companies might face higher wages and benefit costs. This could put a damper on some firms' acquisition plans, especially if they think their operational costs will rise due to unionization. On the flip side, if labor policies seem more business-friendly, that could create a more welcoming environment for deals to flourish.POLITIAL ENERGY POLICIES SHAPE INVESTMENT OPPOETUNITIES If a Democratic administration comes into power, we could see a surge in green technology thanks to supportive regulations and tax incentives that promote clean energy. This would likely encourage more investments and deals in that sector. On the other hand, a Republican administration might focus on traditional energy sources, which could create more opportunities in fossil fuels. So, the political landscape definitely has a big impact on where money is flowing in the energy space!UNDERSTAND ECONOMIC POLICIES AND THEIR IMPACT If we start seeing more protectionist policies, like heavy tariffs on Chinese goods, we might face higher consumer prices and some macroeconomic challenges. But there's a silver lining: these changes could also give U.S. companies a chance to be more competitive. So, keeping an eye on how political shifts affect the market is crucial—it can really shape investment strategies and how businesses plan for the future.EXPECTATIONS DRIVE MARKET PERFORMANCE Often, market prices are more about what investors think will happen rather than what's actually going on right now. For instance, when there's buzz about economic policies—like new tariffs or tax credits—stock prices can shift even before those policies are officially announced. If investors grasp how these expectations tie into real outcomes, they can better spot potential opportunities and risks in both public and private markets, especially as we navigate economic changes and upcoming elections.Tune in to gain a broader understanding of how the economic environment will shape M&A activity, rather than just focusing on individual policy changes.

Contracting is a dominant theme in military human performance because so much of the staffing for military human performance teams is handled through large contracts. In this week's episode we break down some of the key issues with defense contracting that make things harder in human performance. If we can't define the value of coaches, "least price technically acceptable" quickly becomes "lowest bidder." And that creates a race to the bottom for coaching salaries. Stricter requirements for coach certification might be counterproductive if pay doesn't increase. We've seen other related professions require higher degrees without the salaries to justify the additional schooling. Personal services contracting only happens within specific exemptions, mostly reserved for medical and special operations. Non-personal services comes with limitations that make it harder to get the right people. It's hard to come up with who is "at fault" for some of the current problems, because these systems are complicated. But we have to have these conversations if we're going to make any progress.
