In this week's episode of Sober Stories from Everyday People I am talking with Donna in Thirroul, New South Wales, Australia. At the time of recording, Donna is 4 years, 3 months and 10 days sober. Donna is originally from Melbourne and has been married for 25 years. Donna discusses having a relatively normal farm up bringing with relatively normal drinking habits until she sadly lost her mother and first husband. During and after that period of her life, she went slightly off the rails and got into using more alcohol. Donna was a self confessed party girl who began enjoying wine at home during the early naughties and onwards. Donna realised she was getting tired al the time and struggling with insomnia. Donna decided to quit and hasn't looked back since. You can follow Donna online on instagram at @doona67. Enjoy the episode!

Before we get the introduction out there's a bunch of dragon and mediaeval peen chat to deliver, then we're straight into what went down when Em took her Outgrown Tour to NSW over the weekend. It wouldn't be an Em Rusciano Live show in Sydney without there being ambulances called, this time the drama went down at Em's Thirroul show. You'll get the full explain and all of the dramatic events before and during that gig, plus how it all went when Em took the show to Sydney. Then, after a proper stretch from Michael, it's time to chat Joe Biden stepping aside and how exactly do we say Kamala's name correctly. Then it's onto all the approvals coming out after Kamala announced that she is running for President, from the Charli XCX BRAT font being adopted, to a mental side quest into Chappell Roan stepping away from the spotlight. There's the huge influx of donations to her campaign in the first 24 hours, to the new generation of voters now legally able to vote in the US, plus Nancy Pelosi and George Clooney's roles in all of this to discuss too. Then in the Sealed Section Em & Michael will ‘Okay, Stop!' Kamala and her husband Doug, appearing at their all staff meeting at Kamala's Campaign Headquarters, plus who both of them think will be chosen as Vice President.

Welcome to episode 73 of the Football United vs Soccer City podcast. Firstly I would like to sincerely thank all of the interviewees, listeners and the football community of the Illawarra, Australia and elsewhere around the World who download this podcast. Additionally I would like to say thank you to the tremendous people who contribute, comment and reminisce on the social media pages.Billy Williams is our interviewee in episode 73. Born in Thirroul and growing up in Woonona in the 1930s, Billy was a footballer who represented his club, region, state and country as a junior and senior footballer.This interview was conducted a while ago via Billy's son Greg who I must sincerely thank for setting this interview up. This interview with Billy is fantastic in many ways and as Billy was humble about his success on the football field, I have added further details about his junior and senior football exploits from newspaper articles and other documents to demonstrate the career Billy Williams had in the Illawarra and for his region, state and country. In my humble opinion Billy would be “one of the” top ten Illawarra football players in the 1950s, so to get a few of his memories and thoughts was fantastic. I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to record and listen to some of Billy's football experiences. I have immense appreciation and thanks for the time Billy gave up in recording this interview and further thanks must go to Andrew Howe, Greg Stock, Mark Boric and Doug Butcher for the statistics I have used in this podcast. At the end of my interview with Billy Williams there is an additional interview with Peter Glass and his thoughts on Billy as a player. For those who have not listened to previous podcasts, Peter Glass was our interviewee on episode 62 and I thank Peter for doing this additional interview. Please enjoy episode 73!

If you thought yesterday's rainfall in Sydney was heavy, welcome to Thursday.By 9am, the city had reached its average total of rainfall for an entire year - a whole nine months ahead of schedule.More than 1214mm of rain has already fallen on the city, with even more set to come. Major Flood warnings Nepean and Georges rivers. Torrential rain and flash flooding today ##Sydney and #Illawarra. Sydney has now passed it's annual average rain with >1214mm. LIVE coverage all day on Sky News Weather. #SydneyStorm #NSWFloods @SkyNewsAust @SkyWeatherAUS pic.twitter.com/G3S6brqeuK— Thomas Saunders (@TomSaundersSNW) April 6, 2022 The inclement weather has led to warnings that major suburbs in the city's west, including Liverpool, could flood later in the day as swollen rivers burst their banks. Already, train services have been disrupted near Sydney.And it's not just Sydney – a vast swath of New South Wales is seeing large falls as far inland as Dubbo and Orange, as well as along much of the coast."The rain event has really only just begun," Sky News Weather meteorologist Rob Sharpe said."There's still a fair way to go with this event with a lot of rainfall charging into [Australia's east]."'Serious concern'The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) has issued a severe weather warning for heavy rainfall for the entire NSW coast between Newcastle and Bega, near the Victorian border, for Thursday.At least 100mm is possible in Sydney, the Blue Mountains and down the south coast over the next few days."But there's potential for totals of up to around 300mm. So that's why flash flooding is a serious concern," Sharpe said.The torrential conditions are due to a combination of factors. The La Nina climate driver continues to push warm moist air towards the continent. At the same time, cooler than usual air is high in the atmosphere and that's causing the warmer moisture to rise and then form clouds and rain – lots of it."That's our rainmaking event that is moving through the upper system and that's driving the whole thing," he said.Grim rain record could be beaten todayOn Wednesday, Sydney Airport record 111mm of rain, more than 15mm above its entire average monthly rainfall for April in a single day.Lucas Heights, in the city's south, topped out at 84mm while the CBD weather station, next to the Harbour Bridge, recorded 86mm.So far in 2022, Sydney's CBD has seen at least 1112mm of rain. The average annual rainfall in Sydney is 1164mm.That means if just another 52mm falls on Thursday – and double that is possible – the city will have equalled its usual rainfall for the entire year in just three months and one week. ⚠️ Minor to Major #Flood Warning issued for #Nepean and #Hawkesbury Rivers. #Menangle minor expected at 6:00 am, may reach major Thursday evening. Moderate for #Camden #Wallacia.

It's likely the big wet will subside over the coming days – at least for now.It's much the same story throughout other parts of Sydney, with Penrith in the west also set to see 60-100mm and then between 20-30mm on Friday and spells of less heavy rain through the weekend.Minor to moderate flooding is possible on the Nepean, Hawkesbury, Colo, Georges and Woronora rivers in and around Sydney with flooding very possible in riverside suburbs such as Liverpool, Milperra and Menangle.At 6am on Thursday, buses were replacing trains between Thirroul and Waterfall on the NSW Train Link South Coast line due heavy rain at Helensburgh.Much of NSW set to be smashedWollongong could see 70-120mm on Thursday and up to 45mm on Friday; 60mm could find its way down to Bega; up to 170mm could fall on Katoomba over the next couple of...

Saul Griffith is a mad inventor, an official “genius” (as per the prestigious Macarthur Fellowship, um, wait for it, for his prodigy of service in the world community) and he has a fix for the climate crisis! Electrify everything! US President Joe Biden vibed with it so much he made the Australian his climate advisor.  I first came across Saul on one of my eternal searches for legit climate solutions that bring true excitement and hope to humans.  For years I've wanted to pick apart his wild idea summed up in his new book, written for President Joe Biden, Electrify: An Optimist's Playbook For Our Clean Energy Future. The gist is this: We can get to those 2030 targets required for our survival on this planet, using technology that already exists and if he had to choose a country in the world where it can happen the fastest and with the biggest economic win he'd say, Australia! Saul is a lot of fun, swears a touch (be warned!), rides a bike everywhere, barely wears shoes and rather infamously (according to the interwebs) pointed out the carbon footprint of his underpants in his 2006 TED talk. The Electrify the lot and fast mantra is one I buy into…to a point. We still must consume less…way less. Saul agrees. We are going to talk further... Watch Saul's TED Talk here https://www.ted.com/talks/saul_griffith_everyday_inventions?language=en  Saul's new book Electrify: An Optimist's Playbook For Our Clean Energy Future is available in the US now, find it here and getting an Australian version soon.

Housing affordability is on everyone's mind but what's being done? In this episode, we welcome back Michelle Adair, CEO of The Housing Trust. The Housing Trust, which is the second-largest housing provider in the Illawarra, delivering subsidised rental homes to over 2000 people, with almost 1100 properties from Thirroul to Nowra. Michelle is at the forefront of the housing affordability crisis. Her professional and personal experiences will move you as she illustrates how deep this problem runs, and who has the ability to rectify it.   Here's what we cover: What's wrong with the current housing policy? Is focusing on first home buyers an effective strategy? What is the role developers play in this crisis? What is the economic case for providing more social housing Is welfare enabling further social problems or remedying them? How to balance a growing and a stabilising market? Does the government want low housing prices? Who benefits the most from housing concessions? What role can investors play?   RELEVANT EPISODES: Episode 104 | Build-To-Rent the new standard for renters | Adam Hirst Episode 81 | Will a crisis in confidence kill our apartment market? | Eliza Owen Episode 66 | What's causing Australia's housing affordability crisis? | Michele Adair   GUEST LINKS: https://housingtrust.org.au/ Housing: Taming the elephant in the economy [full report] Housing: Taming the elephant in the economy [4-page summary] https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/7319955/governments-ignoring-holy-grail-of-affordable-rentals/ https://www.smh.com.au/national/before-she-was-a-ceo-michele-and-her-kids-lost-everything-20210427-p57mqu.html   HOST LINKS: Looking for a Sydney Buyers Agent?www.gooddeeds.com.au Work with Veronica: https://linktr.ee/veronicamorgan Looking for a Mortgage Broker?www.wealthful.com.au Work with Chris: hello@wealthful.com.au   Send in your questions to: questions@theelephantintheroom.com.au   EPISODE TRANSCRIPT: Please note that this has been transcribed by half-human-half-robot, so brace yourself for typos and the odd bit of weirdness… This episode was recorded in August 2021 https://www.theelephantintheroom.com.au/podcasts/191 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Where does inspiration come from and how can you cultivate that creative spark that's uniquely stirring within your heart? How can excellent work and deep passion open doors you never thought possible and lead you down paths you never knew existed? These are just a few of the many insights that Award-Winning Wave Photographer Ray Collins speaks to during Louie's most recent conversation on the Passion + Purpose Podcast.-MORE ABOUT RAY COLLINSRay Collins is from Thirroul in New South Wales, Australia. He discovered photography in 2007 following a tragic accident that left him unable to walk for several months. His love of the ocean led him to begin photographing his local surfing friends, within a few months he had captured the surfing worldʼs attention by gracing the front covers of several international magazines with his fresh perspective and his willingness to risk his personal safety to get the shot.A few years later his photography morphed from surfing to waves with the “aim is to show the ocean as a living, breathing thing. To document it in all of it's intimidating strengths; and to bring awareness to its delicate fragility."Check out Ray's work and more of his powerful story over at https://raycollinsphoto.com

The brass band with its melodramatic funeral march,  the children making tomb stones for lost species and the serious speakers were not at all macabre.In the background you will hear cockatoos screeching home to roost and children pelting across the grass in sack races.Tim Flannery told us that the Earth's climate System sets the deadlines not politicians.
