Today's episode features Dr Dylan Grigg, a fabulous astrophysicist from Perth in Western Australia. Dylan has been doing amazing work that impacts on the effectiveness of every radio telescope and array on the planet. He has revealed the presence of unintended radio frequencies leaking from the tens of thousands of low earth orbit satellites above us , and these leaking frequencies have the potential to drown out the very faintest of frequencies that tell us what was happening at the very dawn of time. Heads up … Astrophiz always takes a festive season holiday over December and January, but before we take a break, we'll be bringing you a fabulous interview with a wonderful Irish Solar physicist, Dr Laura Hayes ..,. coming vey soon … stay tuned.

Australian Senator Jordon Steele-John joins Dylan Alcott and Angus O’Loughlin to share what life is really like inside Parliament as a wheelchair user and one of the few disabled politicians in Australia. From rushing to Senate votes without extra time allowances to reshaping accessibility in politics, Jordon gives a candid and inspiring look at how inclusion, policy, and representation intersect in Australia’s most powerful building. The conversation spans his journey from a 23-year-old Greens candidate from WA to a national advocate for accessibility, neurodiversity, and disability rights. Jordon opens up about moments of misunderstanding on the campaign trail, how his ADHD and cerebral palsy shape his leadership, and why true inclusion starts with “getting our own house in order.” This episode is full of insight, humour, and practical advice for anyone—disabled or not—who wants to create change in their community.

Let's Talk Gardening 8 November 2025 with Janice Foulkes-Taylor and Danica McCoquodale by CurtinFM 100.1 in Perth, Western Australia

Introduction In this episode of Coffee with Samso, we reconnect with Brett Hazelden, Managing Director of OD6 Metals, to explore how the company is navigating two of the most intriguing thematic opportunities in the market today — rare earth elements (REEs) and copper. OD6 was first introduced to the Samso audience in a very different market — rare earth sentiment was hot, clay-hosted projects were flooding the ASX, and recovery pathways were still largely unproven. Fast-forward to 2025, and the game has changed. The company's flagship Splinter Rock project in Western Australia is now underpinned by validated heap leach metallurgy, enhanced nano-filtration, and a robust understanding of orebody consistency — ticking the key boxes that separate projects with longevity from the fleeting momentum plays. At the same time, OD6 is quietly advancing a highly prospective copper VMS project at Gulf Creek in New South Wales, where historical high grades and recent drilling suggest potential for a standalone, company-making discovery. This conversation explores both sides of the OD6 story — a smarter REE flow sheet, and the search for a modern VMS discovery in an overlooked district. Rare Earths at Splinter Rock – Smarter Processing, Lower Capex, Better Product ✔ Heap Leach Breakthrough What started as a "just in case" test alongside traditional tank leach flowsheets has emerged as a breakthrough: heap leaching not only works — it offers higher recoveries, lower reagent use, and slashes capex. 75–80% recoveries from column testwork Removes the need for tanks, filters, tailings dams Simplifies the flowsheet and reduces environmental impact "Everyone expected heap leach to fail with clays. Instead, we found it performs better — less equipment, cheaper, and scalable." – Brett Hazelden ✔ Nanofiltration: A Technical Edge In August 2025, OD6 announced it had successfully trialled nanofiltration on its leach solutions — a key value unlock: Cuts acid use by 80–85% through recycling Reduces downstream plant size by 70% Enhances product purity and ESG credentials Nanofiltration acts like a REE-specific desalination process — separating heavier rare earths from light elements and allowing a high-quality EM-rich product to be recovered with minimal waste. ✔ Orebody Confidence – Consistency at Depth OD6's testwork has focused on the Inside Centre area of Splinter Rock: 120Mt @ ~1600ppm TREO (from a broader 680Mt JORC) Broad, flat geometry with 70–80m of mineralised clays Simple stratigraphy with consistent metallurgy Upcoming bulk column testing with ANSTO is validating how the ore performs across depth zones — the top 40m vs. the bottom 40m — to ensure no surprises in full-scale operations. OD6's Advantage in the Rare Earth Game OD6's rare earth mineralogy is distinct from hard rock monazite or apatite systems, allowing for ambient temperature leaching. Other projects require aggressive cracking at high temperatures — expensive and carbon-intensive. OD6's approach works at room temperature, using simpler, cheaper reagents. "You can't just apply heap leach to any rare earth project. Ours works because of our unique mineralogy — that gives us a genuine technical edge." Strategic Thinking: Beyond China, Beyond Hype OD6 is focused on developing a high-purity, globally marketable rare earth carbonate, and potentially refining it further into selective oxides (e.g., NdPr oxide). While the REE market has been volatile, OD6's strategy is focused on real offtake, real product, and long-term survivability: No reliance on inflated spot prices or unsustainable government support No hype-driven LOIs with no substance Clear cost pathway: ~USD $300M capex vs $1.2B for many peers "There's a lot of noise in rare earths, but not many with a product that works. We're now one of the few still standing, with a technically sound, economic pathway." Gulf Creek VMS Copper Project – A Sleeping Giant? While rare earths remain the flagship, the Gulf Creek Copper Project in NSW could be the catalyst that delivers near-term excitement. Historic production (1896–1912) reported grades of 2–12% Cu Drilling confirms mineralisation continues below the old mine 4.6% Cu intercepts in recent programs VMS-style system with multiple repeat structures mapped Strong magnetic signatures tied to known mineralisation OD6 is currently drilling new targets — Big Bend, West Limmon, Northwest — that exhibit geophysical and geological similarities to the main Gulf Creek lode. "VMS is a small company's holy grail. High grade, modest tonnage, fast capex. Just look at what DeGrussa did for Sandfire." With solid land access, supportive local communities, and compelling historic grades, Gulf Creek could evolve into a separate copper value centre — and even warrant a spin-out if the results continue to deliver. Samso Concluding Comments OD6 Metals today is not the company it was in 2022. This is now a business with: A technically proven REE flow sheet A heap leach process that defies conventional wisdom Clear understanding of mineralogy, product quality, and economic constraints And now, a copper discovery story brewing quietly in NSW. In many ways, OD6 is a case study in how to advance a resource project the right way — quietly, methodically, and with the long game in mind. It's also one of the few juniors with genuine dual-commodity upside — a defensive REE platform and a high-grade VMS copper wild card. For investors tired of rock chip hype and non-binding fluff, OD6 is a rare earths company with a product that works — and a copper discovery that could change the narrative altogether. Chapters 00:00 Start 02:31 Introduction 03:43 Recent Announcement 06:04 How did the Heap Leach concept start? 07:42 Are there any environmental issues with the Heap Leach concept? 08:31 Nanofiltration Concept? 09:46 Orebody consistency. 10:59 What are the Concerns for the Heap Leach Process? 12:08 How is current REE market influencing OD6 thinking? 15:17 OD6 Resource works with Hep Leach 16:16 The REE market 17:04 The Gulf Creek Copper Project 20:11 VMS projects are made for small companies. 21:09 High-Grade nature of VMS Projects 21:46 Prospectivity of the Gulf Creek project 22:42 Land Access for Gulf Creek 23:32 Gulf Creek - Historical Mining Area 23:50 2025 is now a more evolved REE market 25:16 REE Benchmark pricing 26:32 International Market Sentiment 27:31 A Discussion on the REE market and What it means post 2025 28:26 OD6 - A Better company for Investors in 2025. 29:50 Capital market- Thoughts on OD6. 30:57 The complexities of the REE market and investing opportunities. 31:58 Caution for looking at the REE market. 33:37 OD6 Last words. 33:26 Conclusion

Actor and author Tasma Walton was enjoying her big break on TV show Blue Heelers in the 1990s in Melbourne when a transformative visit from her grandmother launched her in a new direction.Boonwurrung/Bunurong woman, Tasma grew up in windy Geraldton, in Western Australia in the 1970s, hearing stories from her grandmother about baby whales and women who lived in kelp forests. These stories always featured a bay and very cold water — neither of which were in Geraldton.Many years later, while Tasma was filming Blue Heelers and living in St Kilda in Melbourne, her grandmother came to stay, and the stories she had told Tasma over and over again started to make sense.Except for one tale that had been sanitised for children's ears — a supposed love story between Tasma's great-great-great grandmother, Nannertgarrook, and a sealer man.As an adult, Tasma heard her calling and started to research the truth of what had happened to Nannertgarrook, generations ago.Further informationIf you need help, you can call the National domestic family and sexual violence counselling service on 1800-RESPECT — 1800 737 732.I Am Nannertgarrook is published by Simon & Schuster Bundyi.Tasma was named joint winner, with Robbie Arnott, of the $100,000 ARA Historical Novel Prize for 2025.Watch Reckless on SBS from Wednesday 12 November on SBS, NITV, and SBS ON DEMAND.This episode of Conversations was produced by Alice Moldovan.

Former Western Australia firefighter and author Anthony Ajduk joins Healthy Mind, Healthy Life to talk plainly about PTSD—how a 2012 crash became the final trigger after 31 years on the job, what hypervigilance and anxiety really feel like, and why early treatment and honest conversations save careers, marriages, and lives. We unpack stigma in emergency services, practical skills that helped Anthony stabilize (breathwork, removing triggers, education about the brain), and how writing A Firefighter's Life turned pain into purpose. If you're a first responder—or love one—this episode offers clear insight, language you can use, and next steps.   About the guest  : Anthony Ajduk served as a professional firefighter in Western Australia for 31 years. After a career-ending incident and a PTSD diagnosis, he underwent intensive treatment and later wrote A Firefighter's Life to help others recognize symptoms and seek help sooner.   Key takeaways: PTSD can follow cumulative exposure. A routine-looking call became the breaking point after decades of incidents. Symptoms showed up fast: anxiety, breathlessness, hypervigilance, mood swings, and sudden behavioral changes—often without warning. Early, specialized care matters. Seeing a clinical psychologist within days accelerated stabilization and recovery. Education reduces fear. Understanding what the brain is doing (and why) helps people interrupt spirals and apply tools. Simple tools help in the moment: slow breathing, stepping away from triggers, and resetting before re-engaging. Families need a script. Clear language about “an injury to the brain” reframes judgment and invites support. Stigma still blocks care. Normalizing conversations in stations, peer circles, and at home increases help-seeking. Writing and storytelling can be therapeutic. Turning experience into a book offered integration and helped others feel less alone. Society should view PTSD as an injury, not a character flaw—especially for first responders who see in a year what others may never see in a lifetime. Action step: if you recognize these signs in yourself or someone you love, treat it like any serious injury and seek professional help now.   How to connect with the guest  : Facebook: Anthony Ajduk (personal) and Anthony Ajduk, Author Book: A Firefighter's Life (available on Amazon in e-book and paperback)   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

After a vehicle rollover left her with a severe head injury, Carolina made the decision that every survival expert warns against—she left her vehicle. What followed was a nearly two-week ordeal through 740,000 acres of unforgiving outback, enduring freezing temperatures that dropped below 3°C, navigating prickly terrain barefoot, and surviving on nothing but rainwater from puddles. Against impossible odds, Carolina kept walking even after convincing herself she would never be found. Her incredible rescue by a local farmer driving down a rarely-used road is a testament to resilience, the will to survive, and the power of being in the right place at the right time. This episode explores the critical decisions that can mean life or death in the wilderness and reminds us why staying with your vehicle could save your life. 00:00 Introduction to the Podcast 00:25 Setting the Scene: Carolina's Journey Begins 01:17 The Nightmare Unfolds: Carolina's Accident 01:46 Survival Against the Odds: Carolina's Struggle 03:46 The Harsh Realities of the Australian Outback 07:10 The Search Begins: Tracking Carolina's Movements 15:46 The Rescue: A Miraculous Encounter 19:14 Aftermath and Reflection: Carolina's Statement 20:41 Survival Instincts and Key Factors 21:41 The Critical Decision: Staying with the Vehicle 22:52 Preparation for the Australian Outback 23:13 Vehicle Essentials and Navigation 26:38 Water, Food, and Shelter 28:14 Legal and Cultural Considerations 31:43 The Psychological Component of Survival 32:30 Survival Stories from the Outback 37:07 The Miracle of Rescue 39:53 Final Thoughts and Lessons 43:09 Podcast Outro and Listener Engagement RESOURCES "Carolina Wilga, German woman who went missing in Australia's remote Outback, found alive after 12 days" - CBS News https://www.cbsnews.com/news/carolina-wilga-german-backpacker-found-australia-missing-12-days-outback/ Core facts about the incident timeline, location details, search operations, and initial rescue information.

Accounting may not be every farmer's favourite topic, but it is one of the most powerful tools on the farm. This week's Head Shepherd guest, David Egerton-Warburton, explains why.Raised on a sixth-generation farm in Kojonup, Western Australia, David learned early that every on-farm decision ties back to sound business practice. His father, Kent, founded Agrimaster in 1981, bringing farm records into the computer age long before most households had a computer, and David and his wife have been joint CEOs since 2001.David and Mark Ferguson discuss budgeting, risk control and decision making, and why financial literacy separates good farmers from great farming businesses. As David says, “The most successful growers aren't that much better from a production point of view… what we really see is the difference in the ability to take risks because they can control them.” Listen to the episode to learn how to turn your farm numbers into a roadmap for success and take control of the risks that matter.https://www.agrimaster.com.au/Head Shepherd is brought to you by neXtgen Agri International Limited.

Over the course of World War II, Walters led No. 1 (General Reconnaissance) Squadron in Singapore, No. 1 (Fighter) Wing in Darwin, Northern Territory, No. 72 Wing in Dutch New Guinea, and Northern Command in Papua New Guinea. He was decorated with the Air Force Cross in 1941 for his work with No. 1 Squadron, and mentioned in despatches in 1944 for his service with No. 72 Wing.Walters was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1946 for his service with Northern Command.

C., AOC Home Command, Air Member for Personnel, and AOC Support Command. He was promoted acting air vice marshal in 1952 (substantive in 1954), and appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath in 1956.

In 2024, a landmark review of the School Education Act 1999 was undertaken in Western Australia. Why? Because our education laws — drafted over 25 years ago — haven't kept pace with modern understandings of disability, inclusion, or the rights of children and families.This review, driven by an expert panel with deep experience in education, disability, and human rights, was driven by one clear question: Does our law support every child to access and thrive in school — or are there too many barriers to access and inclusion for students with disability?What followed was an in-depth consultation with families, clinicians, educators, and young people with lived experience, resulting in 15 recommendations that aim to remove barriers — from enrollment gatekeeping, to inconsistent support, to exclusionary discipline, replacing them with legal obligations for inclusion, voice, and access.For allied health clinicians, this matters. Because so often, we're working with children whose ability to engage in school is shaped by systems, not just skills. Today, we unpack what this report means — and what could change if we get this right.

Sad. Next Episode: Our next episode, coming as soon as I finish the edit … features Dylan Grigg, a fabulous PhD from Perth in Western Australia. Dylan has been doing amazing work that impacts on the effectiveness of every radio telescope on the planet. He has revealed the presence of unintended radio frequencies leaking from the tens of thousands of low earth orbit satellites above us , and these leaking frequencies are threatening to drown out the very faintest of frequencies that tell us what was happening at the very dawn of time. This is important work, and it was great to speak with Dylan. You'll enjoy his stories! See ya soon

Venerable Hue Can is the Abbess of Sunyata Meditation Centre in Vic Park and has the very clear goal to teach others how to realise their full potential through Zen Buddhism. Venerable Hue Can had an interesting and diverse career as a teacher, children's librarian and co-ordinator of the Ethnic Child Care Resource Unit. As an advocate for access and equity she have worked in the area of social welfare, particularly in the Vietnamese community in Western Australia. When the Most Venerable Master Thich Thanh Tu came to Perth in 1996 she was fortunate to attend his lecture "Why am I a Buddhist”. She found out that Buddhism could give her five things that she had always been searching for – wisdom, altruism, freedom, equality and emancipation. She wanted to become his disciple and follow the path that he had illuminated. Her first ordination occurred in 1998. Every year, the monastic community (Monks and nuns) go on a three month retreat called the “Rains Retreat” from mid July to mid October. During this period, they do not visit our centres for teachings as it's a time for deepening their own practice. While the monks and nuns are away, we will have some interesting guest speakers coming in to give the Friday Night talk. Dust in Our Eyes 2025 (Rains Retreat Speakers' Series 2025) Hear stories of everyday dhamma as told by monastics and lay practitioners from various Buddhist traditions.

Detected by astronomers from Kitt Peak National Observatory six hours post-approach, this 3-meter space rock serves as a reminder of the many near misses that may go unnoticed. This episode discusses the implications of such encounters and the ongoing efforts to enhance planetary defense against potential threats.Green Comets Illuminate the Night SkySkywatchers have been treated to the rare sight of two vibrant green comets, C 2025 R2 Swann and C 2025 A6 Lemon, both originating from the Oort Cloud. As they approach the sun, these comets are heating up and releasing gases, creating their characteristic tails. This segment explores their trajectories, visibility, and the exciting opportunity they present for amateur astronomers, particularly as they coincide with the annual Orionid meteor shower.Chinese Space Junk Crash in AustraliaIn a dramatic turn of events, debris from the Chinese Jielong 3 rocket has been discovered smoldering in Western Australia's outback. This segment details the recovery of the wreckage and the ongoing investigation by the Australian Space Agency.

Meet Saw and Brittany Naing — the husband-and-wife team behind Ojai's new rock-and-roll-tinged barbecue spot, Joplin's, and the culinary force you already know from The Dutchess. Saw is executive chef and partner at The Dutchess, where his Burmese-Indian roots shape one of Ojai's most celebrated menus; at Joplin's, he channels that same precision into brisket and ribs, leaning on good cuts, time, and low, slow heat.Brittany runs the front of house at Joplin's, setting the tone for a room that's equal parts hospitality, comfort food, and guitar-amp energy. Instagram+4The Dutchess+4Saveur+4We talk about the juggle — how you staff and multi-task across two restaurants — and why culture beats chaos in a busy kitchen. Saw traces his path from Bouchon and Tallula's to becoming chef-partner at The Dutchess, and, yes, his years as a guitarist (with a soft spot for nu-metal like Korn) before kitchens became his stage. Brittany shares how the couple met working in LA restaurants, and why Joplin's leans into “food, drinks, and rock & roll” without losing sight of the essentials.Plus: why Niman Ranch ribs, a dialed-in brisket, and a FOH that truly sees guests are the secret to Ojai's newest staple.

Meteorology Bureau Abandons Cyclone Forecasts Amidst Extreme Australian Weather Jeremy Zakis Jeremy Zakis reports that the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) has stopped issuing cyclone forecasts for Western Australia for the first time in 50 years. The BOM admitted its models are failing due to unexpected ocean temperatures and upper atmosphere warming, resulting in unpredictable forecasts. New South Wales has experienced highly erratic weather, including the "hottest October ever" and three seasons—winter's end, spring, and the start of summer—in just two days. The warm temperatures are driving residents to the beaches and pools. Although recent rain has provided abundant food for wildlife, Jeremy warns that the currently lush grass will quickly become tinder dry, creating a severe bushfire hazard if lightning storms arrive before more rain. 1952 QUEENSLAND

Chaotic Spring Weather Accelerates Bushfire Threat GUEST NAME: Jeremy Zachis Australia's spring weather is chaotic and non-normal, leading to potential catastrophic summer conditions early. New South Wales is experiencing high winds creating a bushfire tinderbox. Queensland is hit by heavy, monsoonal rain and strong storms. Western Australia's lower half faces heavy rain due to the Indian Ocean dipole, while South Australia and Victoria are relatively normal.
