Toni Powell is a renowned speaker known for her hilarious keynotes and ridiculously simple (yet wildly effective) wellbeing hacks that people actually remember and use. She's an author, award-winning filmmaker, and the unforgettable subject of an ABC's Australian Story episode called Let There Be Light. Her powerful Goalcast talk The Power of Words has reached over 15 million viewers worldwide. During the pandemic, Victoria University invited Toni to create a coached wellbeing program for 12 exhausted school principals. That program—now called HAPPY HEALTHY STRONG TEAMS—was such a hit it went on to be offered through the WA Department of Education's Leadership Institute for two full years. The program has also been run by DoE NSW and some principal associations have offered it to their members. To date, more than 500 school and Department leaders have taken part in this fun, fast, and refreshingly easy approach to culture change and staff wellbeing.

It's a decade this year since Julia Gillard's apology to those affected by forced adoption, but there's still unfinished business. Now, it's the adoptees picking up the baton and carrying on the fight for recognition, redress, and justice. Amelia speaks to two adoptees – Jennifer McRae and Danae Witherow – about how being taken from their mothers has affected their lives, and their push for an inquiry in Western Australia. Shakira Ramsdell explains what's happening in Victoria, the one state in the process of setting up a redress scheme.

In a presentation to the Joint Legislative Committee on Water Supply During Drought, representatives from the Department of Ecology went over what led to the recent drought declaration and what the corresponding $3 million in grant funding means for communities. “A main one is that we look at water supply seasonal forecasts. What is the volume of runoff expected, especially for that April through September period, which in our state is when water supply challenges are likely to arise?" asked Jeff Marti, Drought Coordinator for the Department of Ecology's Water Resources Division, during Monday's committee meeting. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/washington-in-focus/support

Jeff Debell is a forest geneticist working with the WA Department of Natural Resources, tasked with exploring strategies for growing trees in a changing climate. With increasingly hot and dry summers, reforestation has already become more challenging than usual. The health of future forests may be improved by or depend on innovative reforestation practices we implement today. One key practice is population migration, the practice of moving genetic populations within a given species in order to adapt to projected climate conditions (ex: planting Doug-fir from Oregon in Washington). In this episode, we discuss some critical research Jeff is conducting on this population migration and how small forest owners can support it.
Despite the Washington state legislature's desire to protect farming and food production from the costs of a new carbon tax, the WA Department of Ecology has failed to develop a system to exempt farms from the higher fuel costs, as prices continue to climb. State Rep. Mike Chapman, D-Port Angeles, joins Dillon to voice his frustration with the Inslee Administration's failure to follow the 2021 law, calling it "patently unfair" and suggesting the state risks being "complicit in losing farmland" as it continues to pile additional costs on producing food in WA.

Australia's national science agency, CSIRO, arranged the reciprocal partnership through its STEM Professionals in Schools program. The partnership is supported by Curtin University including Head of the School of Earth and Planetary Sciences Professor Ian Fitzsimons, the WA Department of Education and the Pia Wadjarri Remote Community School, located about 330km north-east of Geraldton. Students have been in Perth learning about geology, radio astronomy, space exploration, meteorites, the planets and supercomputers, as well as visiting Scitech and Curtin's Centre for Aboriginal Studies. Lead researcher Dr Luc Doucet, from Curtin University, said the program blended Indigenous cultural knowledge with scientific thinking and the Australian curriculum. “The Wajarri people are the custodians of the oldest rocks on Earth that are widely studied by Curtin scientists,” Dr Doucet said. “By working together, we are learning valuable knowledge from the traditional owners who have lived on this land for thousands of years while also hoping to ignite a passion for science among the next generation as the future geology, space and science workforce.”

Guest Franklyn Smith, with Freedom Project WA, discusses how he's learned that "Healed People, Heal People" with Joy Gilfilen, Host of iChangeJustice. As a young man, he lived deep in the jazz music world in downtown Seattle with his mother, and when she died, he got into drugs. Today he has "lived on all sides of the fences", for he went through the military, incarceration, drug addiction, homelessness, mental health, and rehabilitation and studied the issues down deep and real. His company, Fresh Start Professional Services, understands different viewpoints and talks frankly about the difference between housing as different from community, about basic needs vs. essential needs, then explains how the early wounding of the soul must be healed for all the rest to work. Franklyn was the 1st justice-involved person hired to work on reentry services at the state level at WA Department of Corrections, and is now working in non-profits to help us build bridges between all sectors of the community to heal our divides.
Slapping Skagit Valley Farms with a fine over a quarter-million dollars, the WA Department of Ecology accuses the local vegetable grower of irrigating illegally and suggests it was harming salmon.

The number of unhoused Americans is at a historically high rate right now. This podcast is produced in Seattle, a city with the third highest homeless population in the U.S. Though many Seattleites identify as progressive, we can't reach a consensus on how to help our most vulnerable populations—or even find agreement on the root causes of the housing crisis. Why are perspectives on homelessness, and possible solutions to it, so polarized? Josephine Ensign, a University of Washington nurse and health care provider for people experiencing homelessness, shares some of her insights from her career on the frontlines of this crisis. Josephine Ensign is a professor in the School of Nursing and an adjunct professor in the Department of Gender, Women & Sexuality Studies at the University of Washington.

Bi-Zi Farms near Vancouver, WA may be forced to shut down after the WA Department of Ecology decided to punish the farm over technicalities on their ability to use water from the farm's well that's been in use for over a century. Owner Bill Zimmerman tells Dillon how despite their best efforts to satisfy Ecology's desires, state bureaucrats have provided no possible pathway for the small family farm to solve the legal issues. Dillon points out how Bi-Zi's situation is a likely harbinger of what could happen to many farms in Whatcom County as a result of the state's proposed water rights adjudication lawsuit.
Despite the WA Department of Ecology's march toward a massive court case to hammer out Whatcom water rights issues, a much better option of community collaboration is still possible and desperately needed. Fred Likkel, Whatcom Family Farmers Executive Director, joins Dillon with an update on the issue now that the state budget has been finalized, including funding for "pre-adjudication work."

The Digital Ag Collective with Kelly Pearce and Tanya Kilminster from the West Australian wheatbelt. This podcast conversation is about the development of an Australian farmer owned and controlled group that utilises and shares the most relevant data systems and programs available in the Ag Tech sector. Kelly Pearce and Tanya Kilminster both live and farm in the West Australian wheatbelt. More notably they both hold Agricultural Science PhD's with the CSIRO. In their chat with Sarah Nolet they explain the climatic and economic imperatives that are changing the way farmers in their regions conduct business. Tanya works with the WA Department of Agriculture and Food and says, "in the last decade we have really had some challenges from a climatic and economic point of view - so every decision we make has to be really critically thought out. We really need to utilised the data available us to make much more informed decisions. From about 2010 onwards we have had some really 'doozey's' of seasons and so farmers have really challenged us as a Department for solutions." Both Kelly and Tanya have been interested in making better use of the business intelligence becoming available to their own farming systems and found that once they delved deeper they became frustrated with what they found. This has led to the establishment of the Digital Ag Collective (DAC). "We went to Sydney and we put a call out there for data scientist, analysts, IT experts come and meet with a group of WA producers who are really interested in pursing technology for data integration and business intelligence and we were overwhelmed with the response," says Kelly who is the Collectives chairperson. Kelly says the aim of the DAC is to, "drive industry wide, producer led frameworks and standards for providers to incentivise and allow us the opportunity to give our experience, to be involved in the assessment of these technologies, share our pain points and help co-develop solutions together." "What we are proposing that farmers are a critical part of the solution and that tech needs to be developed from the ground up." Right now the Collective is busy working out who are their best collaborators and partner as well as setting up their right legal entity to allow for a true hub of business intelligence - that is owned and run by farmers.

How does a farm's fine go from $5k to $150k? Reporter Don Jenkins tells Dillon how "publicity" not directly related to a Sumas Farm's worker break violations inspired the WA Department of Labor & Industries to increase the farm's penalty by 3,000 percent (yes you read that correctly, three thousand... 30 times larger!).
