Not exactly the classic tune‑up for UTS by UTMB 100K, yet it clearly worked… because she stormed her way to 2nd place in a seriously stacked field.We chat about her recent races, the unconventional build‑up, and her journey back to racing as a mother of two young children.HARRIER - Use code TATP10 for 10% off - https://harrierrunfree.avln.me/c/qXhnTgIdEMeaXMILES UK - Listeners receive 10% of their order value back as store credit via the link - https://xmiles.avln.me/c/RiwxnARvfHeRFENIX LIGHT LTD - Use code T&T5 for 5% - https://www.fenixlight.co.uk/PRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION - Use code TEA2026 for 15% off your first orderPRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION PLANNER - https://visit.pfandh.com/3RuP25zSTRAVA - Use code TEA for 20% off an annual membership - #StravaPartner #Adhttps://www.strava.com/subscribe/checkout?code=TEASUNGOD - Use code TEA15 for 15% off your order - https://www.sungod.co/en-gbBEARHUG - Click the link to receive 15% off your order.https://getabearhug.avln.me/c/mtOmrcHyImJoContent contains affiliate links which help support this channel at no cost to you.Brew with the Coaches - CLICK HEREHardmoors - https://www.hardmoors110.org.uk/Trail Outlaws - https://www.trailoutlaws.com/13 Valleys Ultra - https://www.13valleysultra.com/Beyond Trails - https://www.beyondtrails.co.uk/Hellfire Events - https://www.hellfireevents.com/Dales Runner - https://dalesrunner.co.uk/Run The Wild - https://runthewild.co.uk/Hannah Walsh - https://www.hannahwalsh.co.uk/Punk Panther - https://www.punkpanther.co.uk/Pen Llyn Ultra - https://penllyn.niftyentries.com/Raw Adventures - https://www.raw-adventures.co.uk/XNRG - https://www.xnrg.co.uk/

The Gamilaroi journalist on the tiny coalmining town that made her and still sustains her, how eating worms led to a job on breakfast TV, and why she's aiming to be a good ancestor in the deep future.Brooke grew up in Muswellbrook, a coal mining town in NSW.She was a smart, high-achieving kid, doing every extra-curricular activity she could fit in.Despite this, she dropped out of high school and didn't finish her education.After a couple of lost years, a kind boyfriend introduced Brooke to the idea of journalism, and suddenly, she was raring to go, earning jobs in the press gallery in Canberra for NITV, and on triple j, reading the news.Brooke was at the height of her career, doing entertainment news on the Today show on Nine, when she made a decision that seemed to come out of left field.In 2024 Brooke suddenly quit her high-profile job to take up an offer to study at Oxford University.Oxford presented the opportunity to complete the unfinished business of her education after being robbed of her academic potential in high school. In continuing to study, Brooke is focused on a life to be a not only a good auntie and sister but also a good ancestor for future generations.Further informationBrooke's book of essays, All of It: Notes on public life, private joy and everything in between was published by Joan, an imprint of Allen & Unwin.This episode was produced by Alice Moldovan.

"Prisoners do not cease to be bearers of constitutional rights upon incarceration." — The Supreme Court, in a February 2026 order, was pointed in its language as it directed States and UTs to develop a time-bound protocol for filling vacancies in Open Correctional Institutions (OCIs). The Delhi government has since been tasked to start work on an implementation strategy to restructure the open prison model in the national capital. The apex court's mandate came on a PIL addressing prison overcrowding, but in doing so, it opened a larger question about what punishment itself means in a constitutional democracy. If India were to finally scale up and reform its open prison model, could it meaningfully dent the overcrowding crisis? Or is the more urgent question whether OCIs need to be seen as far more deliberate spaces where the metrics go beyond just occupancy?

"By starting with governance - defining it as the strategic side of governance, not the control side - you lift everything up." - Catherine Livingstone ACCatherine Livingstone AC, Chancellor of UTS, Chair of Pacific National and former Chair of the Commonwealth Bank, Telstra and CSIRO, explains why the way organisations frame ESG shapes the quality of every conversation that follows.Catherine's argument isn't just about semantics. When governance sits at the end of the acronym, it signals that G is smaller in scope - and in practice, that means E and S get managed through a compliance lens rather than a strategic one. In this episode, she walks through the governance definition she uses (direction, control and people), why compliance requirements for E and S are inherently narrow and backward-looking, and what boards need to do differently - at the agenda level, the resource level and the performance metrics level - to make environmental and social priorities genuinely stick.________________Follow Podcast Host ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Richard Conway⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on LinkedInFollow ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠boardcycle⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on LinkedInVisit the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠boardcycle website

Beth Goldblatt is today's guest. Beth is a Professor in the Faculty of Law at the University of Technology Sydney where her research and teaching sits at the intersection of feminist legal theory, equality, discrimination law and human rights. In recent years her work has become increasingly oriented towards how climate change impinges on social security and equality, and what role laws currently could play in remediating some of these harms. Beyond that though, and a large part of why I wanted to speak with Beth, was her work on how our current regulatory and legislative frameworks are inadequate to deal with how climate change has and will continue to drive loss and damage into the lives of those already structurally vulnerable to shocks and stresses, and those least responsible for this crisis in the first time. Beth outlines that we not only need new laws, but new ways of understanding law itself.In my darkest existential moments I put my last remaining eggs of hope in the law bucket. Yes - a sweeping legislative and regulatory reform process will do it. Once that happens, everything will finally fall into place. Facts will no longer be able to be ignored or dismissed, BAU and reality-avoidant executives have to make changes. So much of this chat is Beth reminding me about not only the likelihood of that magic wand solution but also that this type of change is based on the people we elect. I'm reminded - again - that change, and with it, power, lies in the hands of those who show up. For our laws to change, we need to elect different types of politicians. For different types of politicians to be elected, we need to support those types of people in our communities. To support those types of people in our communities we need to spend time finding them, helping them, supporting them. It's mundane, seemingly pretty boring on paper and also a gambit that it'd even work - but it's not only possible but is increasingly the last meaningful option. So I do believe the law is what's most vital in the coming decade of climate action, but that requires new social norms and behaviours from people like you and I.Regenerative equality, the reconceptualisation of law, a quest for equality through the law - they're possible, but take work, effort, time and showing up. As Beth explains in this episode, her experience growing up in apartheid South Africa was fundamental in shaping her understanding of justice, of taking a stand, and knowing that by doing that with others, radical, unimaginable change is possible.Beth Goldblatt opened my eyes and mind to new frames and perspectives I've been oblivious to over the last 25 years. I hope this chat has the same effect on you.Head to Reposit Power for $500 off your solar and battery installation. Send me a messageThanks for listening. Follow Finding Nature on Instagram

Australian VBAC Stories are back! And we've got a cracker of a VBAC story for you... In celebration of Multiple Birth Awareness Week, Katelyn speaks with Brooke who shares her amazing TWIN VBAC story!Brooke's first birth ended in an emergency caesarean after a breech diagnosis and a series of interventions that ultimately left her feeling disempowered and separated from her baby in those early hours. Despite having strong birth knowledge and support, the experience was not what she had hoped for, and it shaped how she approached her next pregnancy.When Brooke fell pregnant again, she discovered she was carrying twins. Navigating a twin pregnancy after a caesarean came with its own set of challenges, both physically and within the maternity system.Her labour with the twins was intense and, at times, overwhelming. Brooke speaks candidly about the impact of past trauma during labour, the moments she felt like she couldn't continue, and the support around her that helped her keep going. After a long and demanding labour, she birthed both of her boys vaginally with assistance, describing the experience as one of the hardest and most significant moments of her life.In the postpartum period, Brooke reflects on the realities of recovering from a twin VBAC, navigating feeding challenges, and adjusting to life with newborn twins and a toddler. She also shares the role of community support, both during pregnancy and after birth, and how this shaped her overall experience.This episode explores the intersection of preparation, support, and circumstance, highlighting how different each birth can be, even with the same mother. Brooke's story is a reminder of the importance of informed choice, supportive care, and the space to process birth experiences in your own way.Brooke would like to share the following thanks:Would love to thank My amazing midwife and mother Janine O'Brien @ibirth. The wealth of knowledge you have is incredible. I always felt, loved, heard and supported through every decision I made. To my birth team - Dr Marisa Martin thank you for supporting and believing in me that I could achieve a VBAC! Jo hunter, Chantelle, Ash and UTS student midwife Lara, thank you so much for creating a safe space and for being there for me even though, I almost turned into a wild banshee during birthing my babies earth side lol

Vågar man testodla hampa helt öppet? I det här avsnittet av Småbrukarpodden går vi på djupet med två riktiga tungviktare inom svensk industrihampa: Adel Malouf, grundaren bakom Hampakungen, och experten Jukka Lindholm. Vi lämnar inga frågor obesvarade när vi pratar om allt från byråkrati hos Jordbruksverket till den magiska känslan av att se en gröda växa flera centimeter om dagen.Vilka är Adel och Jukka?Adel Malouf Hampakungen med visionen att sprida hampaodling över hela Sverige. Jukka Lindholm har mångårig erfarenhet av att odla och förädla växten i det svenska klimatet. Tillsammans besitter de en unik kompetens för dig som är nyfiken på hampa men inte vet var du ska börja. De har gjort misstagen så att du slipper dem, och nu delar de med sig av sin livsgärning för att återupprätta hampans plats i det svenska jordbruket.Från SAM-internet till skörd: Så här gör duVi tar dig genom hela processen för att odla hampa lagligt och framgångsrikt:Byråkratin: Hur du skaffar kundnummer hos Länsstyrelsen, loggar in på SAM Internet och anger grödkod 42.Utsäde och sorter: Varför etiketten på påsen är ditt viktigaste bevis. Vi pratar om sorter som Finola och Loja som fungerar utmärkt i norra Sverige, och varför Adel rekommenderar en högre utsädesmängd (35–40 kg/ha) än myndigheterna.Jorden: Vikten av att kolla pH-värdet (jorden får inte vara sur) och att vänta tills marken håller rätt temperatur – ca 11–14 grader för de flesta sorter.Skörden: Hur du ser att det är dags att skörda genom att studera frökapslarna och de genomskinliga cannabinoiderna.Mat, foder och lagens gränserHampan är en supergröda, men det gäller att hålla sig på rätt sida av lagen. Vi reder ut:Människoföda: Hampamjöl med 60 % protein och olja rik på Omega 3, 6 och 9.Djuren: Varför hampaströ är så populärt i djurstallar.Varningen: Varför det är olagligt att göra pellets eller hässja grönmassa som hö, trots att det är en fantastisk resurs.CBD-olja: Vad det faktiskt är och hur den juridiska statusen ser ut i Sverige idag.Elefanten i rummet: Stigmat och polisenVarför finns det ett sådant stigma kring industri hampa och hur skiljer man plantan från cannabis? Vi diskuterar vad man gör om polisen eller Länsstyrelsen kommer på inspektion och hur vi genom öppenhet och utbildning kan få grannarna att förstå att hampa är framtidens biobränsle och koldioxid-bindare.Länkar som nämns i avsnittet:Hampakungen: Besök Adels sida för kunskap och inspiration.Hampaodlingsprojektet: Se videon på YouTube här.Hampaodlarnas Riksförbund: hampaodling.se – För dig som vill nätverka och lära dig mer.Vill du veta mer?

Today's guest is Dr Emma Camp, a marine biologist who's pioneering research into the resilience of coral reefs and their restoration. The awards and recognitions she's already received are longer than my arm - A National Geographic Explorer, appointed a Young Leader for the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the World Economic Forum, A Time Magazine Next Generation Leader, and many more. All of the awards, the appointments and the recognitions are because of the work she has dedicated herself to in seeking to better understand reefs, the potential of preservation that could be possible by discovering and better understanding varieties of coral that may have a higher tolerance to climate change, and the way she has been able to generate interest and funding globally as part of the mission of many to save one of this planet's most unique, precious and vulnerable ecosystems.I wanted to speak with Emma to get under the hood of what is occurring for coral and on reefs around the world due to climate change. That seemingly straight forward question resulted in this conversation which became a masterclass in coral, reef science and revealed the multitude and colliding threats humans are imposing on an underwater landscape now under serious threat and seemingly on a path to oblivion, taking the lives and livelihoods of billions of human and non-human species with them. Speaking with those working on the frontlines of climate change is always painful. The grief associated with what's already been lost and the knowledge of what is still to disappear is evident with Emma. Above the grief though is someone of immense passion, curiosity, intellect and determination. Better than collapsing into the awfulness of species decline and ecosystem degradation, Emma models what we must all do - act.We cover plenty of ground in this chat. From a coral science 101 to begin, into the state of reefs globally and how to understand the often binary assessment of reef health, to the complexities and connectedness of the threats faced, the role and value of reefs to the planet, her research into the misfits and mutants of the coral world, the effort to preserve them and the difficulty of balancing bad news against the need to keep working.In this chat, we reference Don't Look Up - maybe in the case of reefs, don't look down. Support for the show comes from:Reposit Power - get $500 off your installationSend me a messageThanks for listening.

Get in touch with Home Trails here ⬅️ULTRA NEWS!This week we had the sad news that Ourea Events had ceased trading. OE host some of the UK's most beloved ultramarathons including; The Northern Traverse, encompassing the Lakes Traverse, Dales Traverse and the Moors Traverse. The Dragon's Back Race, Cape Wrath and Skyline Scotland.This news came as a shock to many of us that have been involved with any of the races they put on. Shane Ohly broke the news in a heartfelt statement just yesterday, which received an outpouring of sympathy for Shane and the business. This was followed by concern over lost race entry fees and non functional insurance. In this podcast, myself, Dave Johnson from TrailSkin, Ben Wells and Kingsley Isaac discuss what happened and try to make sense of the situation. Will OE restructure and bring back the races next year? Or will a big trail running conglomeration like UTMB or Rat Race buy up the rights to the iconic races?We end the podcast on a lighter note with a poor audio quality version of Kingsleys new song about UTS and Ourea! HT@ultrarunning_sam@hometrails_http://www.youtube.com/@ultrarunningsam

How has English dominance marginalised First Nations knowledges?We hear from Gudanji/Wakaja author and academic Dr Debra Dank about how Aboriginal people's expressive practices and deep relationships to Country are being erased.How can we learn to listen to Country, to the ‘non-human utterances' of birds, the wind, the rain?And how do we listen to Country with our whole bodies, not just our ears?Can we discover our own embodied wisdom, and how does this relate to our sense of belonging on this continent?GuestsCarmine Gentile is an Associate Professor (Faculty) within the School of Biomedical Engineering (Faculty of Engineering and IT) at the UTS.

Get in touch with Ultrarunning Sam here ⬅️In this episode of the Home Trails Podcast, I'm joined by by James Nobles and Martin from Kelp&Fern to discuss UTS by UTMB.James has been very vocal in his criticism of UTS changing the iconic Snowdonia route last minute, especially after selling further places in the race.UTS has come under heavy fire from some prominent names in the trail and ultra running community. But is this just a genuine landowner/route issue that couldn't have been avoided?

澳洲與台灣的關係，表面上是一場「recognize」還是「acknowledge」的文字之爭，背後卻牽涉澳洲長達13年無部長訪台的外交空白，以及一份由雪梨大學美國研究中心 (USSC) 歷時一年撰寫的300頁報告所揭示的戰略盲點。從CPTPP的政治角力、稀土供應鏈的高度依賴，到澳洲一旦航道受阻只剩21天燃油儲備的現實脆弱性，這份報告對澳洲政府是一記當頭棒喝。疫情後的地緣政治重組，令台灣的戰略重要性前所未有地凸顯，而布里斯本台灣僑民透過地方政治累積影響力的案例，或許正是香港族群在海外爭取representation的一面鏡子。多邊秩序默契崩潰，各國已不再以北京劃定的框架來定義對台關係，澳洲將如何在中台之間重新校準立場？問：1972年澳洲與中華人民共和國 (People's Republic of China) 建交的聯合公報，究竟對台灣的主權立場說了什麼？ 答：公報分兩個層次：澳洲「承認」(recognize) 中華人民共和國政府為中國唯一合法政府，但對於北京聲稱台灣是中華人民共和國一省的立場，澳洲僅用「認知」(acknowledge) 一詞，並非認可。這兩個英文字在國際法上存在根本分別，recognize代表正式承認，acknowledge只是知悉對方的聲稱，不等於接受其有效性。問：雪梨科技大學澳中關係研究所 (ACRI, UTS) 的資金來源為何引發爭議？ 答：該研究所最初由曾被指從事統戰活動的中國商人黃向墨 (Huang Xiangmo) 出資160萬澳元創立。黃向墨其後被澳洲政府以國家安全為由取消其永久居留權申請及居留資格，但研究所其後繼續獲得中國企業資助，包括建設銀行及被中資收購的建築企業John Holland。問：與其他民主國家相比，澳洲在對台關係上落後了多少？ 答：英國 (United Kingdom) 於2023年與台灣簽署增強貿易夥伴關係備忘錄，並邀請前總統蔡英文 (Tsai Ing-wen) 赴英國會演講；加拿大 (Canada) 同年發布台加關係報告並簽署外國投資保護協議；菲律賓 (Philippines) 於2025年放寬官員訪台限制。相比之下，澳洲自2012年起長達13年未有聯邦部長訪問台灣，且至今沒有正式授權的國會對台機構。問：雪梨大學美國研究中心 (USSC) 報告就澳台關係提出了哪些主要建議？ 答：報告建議從三個層面加強關係：在經濟合作方面，鼓勵澳洲與志同道合的民主國家共同探索台灣加入《跨太平洋夥伴全面進步協定》(CPTPP) 的路徑；在能源與礦產方面，建議澳洲協助台灣多元化稀土供應來源，減少對中國大陸的95%依賴；在國防與安全方面，建議澳洲加強與美國、日本的協調，並重視臺海穩定對自身能源航線的直接影響。問：臺海衝突對澳洲自身有何具體戰略脆弱性？ 答：澳洲已無本土煉油廠，在能源上高度依賴海上進口，理論上一旦航道受阻，全國燃油儲備僅可維持約21天。加上澳洲是中國最大宗商品出口對象，一旦捲入台海衝突，貿易與能源雙線受壓的風險極高。2024年11月已有中國海軍艦艇駛近澳洲近岸，被視為對此脆弱性的直接示威。問：台灣僑民在澳洲地方政治中發揮了怎樣的影響力？ 答：布里斯本 (Brisbane) 是台灣僑民最集中的澳洲城市，人口約達13,000人。當地台裔人士已透過參選地方議會、出任市議員乃至副市長等職位，逐步將社群影響力轉化為政治代表性。布里斯本市議會每年設有多元文化活動，台裔社群領袖定期受邀參與，此模式被視為台灣僑民在澳洲發揮軟實力的重要渠道。問：疫情後為何越來越多國家選擇脫離北京定義的框架，自主建立對台關係？答：疫情期間台灣對外捐贈口罩、中國則被指是病毒源頭，兩者形象的強烈對比加速了國際觀感的轉變。此外，前總統蔡英文推行的「新南向政策」早已為澳洲等地與台灣建立更深的貿易和人員聯繫打下基礎。更深層的結構性變化是：隨著多邊秩序默契崩解，各國愈來愈傾向按自身實際利益處理對台關係，而非跟隨北京劃定的紅線行事。 This is a public episode.

Colonial pastoralist Major Logue is a figure of note in the city of Geraldton, Western Australia. But his diaries, written partly in code, reveal a dark and confronting chapter of Australia's past – a history that Yamatji people already know all too well. Descendants of some perpetrator families are now challenging what they call “colonial silence”. For them, truth-telling is real, personal and local. There are no guidelines or rulebooks, and it can lead to denial and indifference – but it can also be a liberation. In this two-part special Full Story, Guardian Australia's Indigenous affairs reporter Sarah Collard and Lorena Allam from UTS's Jumbunna Institute discuss decoding the truth behind Logue's diaries, and how descendants of colonial violence are coming together to heal from the horrors of the past Warning: This episode contains historical records that use racist and offensive language, and descriptions of events that will be distressing to some

While many law students may hesitate to approach experienced professionals, Kurt Cheng encourages them to take that step, emphasising that the right guidance can accelerate both career development and personal growth. Speaking on a recent episode of The Protégé Podcast, host Grace Robbie speaks with Kurt Cheng, a law graduate at Ashurst and a global ambassador at UTS, where he shares what drives his passion for early-career mentoring, emphasises why it is crucial never to overlook the value anyone can bring to your journey, and explains why meaningful mentoring extends far beyond a one-off coffee catch-up – it's a relationship that requires time and genuine effort to nurture. Cheng also reflects on how empowering and transformative a mentor can be for both personal and professional growth, highlights the importance of choosing a mentor whose journey aligns with your own career path, offers practical strategies for law students looking to connect with the right people, and reflects on his own role as a mentor – highlighting just how rewarding and transformative these relationships can be.

For some years, there have been suggestions that in the 1860s Tom Wills, Australia's first sports hero and the founder of the AFL, may have taken part in the massacres of Gayiri people in Central Queensland. Now, in a Guardian Australia investigation, Indigenous Affairs reporter Ella Archibald-Binge travels in search of the truth behind the allegations.

How often do you use AI chatbots?  They're becoming part of our everyday lives. But when you pump in a question into something like ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot, do you ever think about the energy it uses? Today, Gordon Noble from the Institute of Sustainable Futures at UTS on the power hungry data centres driving AI, the water used to keep them cool and the cost for the environment. Featured: Gordon Noble, research director at the Institute for Sustainable Futures at the University of Technology Sydney

I'm joined by Dr. Heather Ford, ARC Future Fellow and Professor in the School of Communications at UTS, to explore the fascinating world of Wikipedia. Inspired by her article “We analysed 35,000 Wikipedia entries about Australian places. Some of them sanitise history” in The Conversation, we dive deep into the strengths and shortcomings of one of the internet's most beloved resources. We unpack how Wikipedia works behind the scenes: who edits it, how “edit wars” break out, and why it remains such a radical platform — a place where history can be written in real time, sometimes even before events unfold. Together, we question whether Wikipedia offers an honest account of Australia's past, particularly when it comes to Indigenous history. This is a two-parter so be sure to tune in next week for part 2. Connect with Dr. Heather Ford on Linkedin https://hblog.org/
