Episode 1: Benson Saulo   There are many ways to describe Benson Saulo. A descendant of the Wemba Wemba and Gunditjmara Aboriginal nations of Western Victoria, and New Ireland Province in Papua New Guinea. The first Indigenous person to be appointed an Australian Consul-General in Australia's history. A former Senior Trade and Investment Commissioner based in Houston. He's represented Australia on the global stage at the United Nations. Now he is the Liberal candidate for Macnamara in Melbourne ahead of the 2025 federal election. But it all started with his passion and belief in faith, family, finance and fairness, which have propelled him forward over his 30-something years to now. Dig deeper and you'll also find that Benson once sported a mohawk and wore a three-piece suit – not at the same time. Be inspired and humbled as you walk with Benson through this special conversation.    TWO AM I Listen Curiously CREDITS   Hosts: Jack Riewoldt and Shane McCurry   Thanks to our guest Benson Saulo   To learn more about Benson: Benson on LinkedIn Benson on Facebook Benson Saulo: Liberal candidate for Macnamara   Links from this episode: First Australians Capital Sobah non-alcoholic drinks Camino de Santiago The Way (movie)     Find TWO AM I on social media here: TWO AM I YouTube TWO AM I Instagram  TWO AM I Tik Tok TWO AM I LinkedIn TWO AM I LinktreeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jack Owen is a sheep farmer and the author of "You Are Not Your Farm" from Western Victoria. Growing up, he had a real passion for farming. Any chance he had to get out and work on the family farm, he was there. He spent some time off the farm, which was great for his personal growth, but nothing was going to stop him from coming back home and giving farming a red-hot crack. Since returning to the farm, he soon discovered there were several things farmers weren't talking about. In discovering this for himself and implementing it into his own life, he realized there was an opportunity to help other farmers discover these hidden gems. Hence, he published this book. Written by a farmer, he spoke to over 250 farmers and farm business owners to put this together for farmers.

Global wheat prices have experienced a sharp decline this week. The drop was driven by improved growing conditions across key export markets, Türkiye announcing a wheat import ban and winter wheat harvest beginning in the northern hemisphere. South Australia and Western Victoria remain the dry trouble spots of Australia. Meanwhile, rainfall has continued to blanket large swathes of Western Australia, with some farmers receiving last year's rainfall total in just one week.   Disclaimer: Important Information This podcast is approved and distributed by Global Economic & Markets Research (“GEMR”), a business division of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia ABN 48 123 123 124 AFSL 234945 (“the Bank”).

Lard Ass was founded by Monica Cavarsan, a dairy farmer's daughter who grew up in Western Victoria, Aus surrounded by the creamy goodness of fresh milk and churned butter. Proud of her Italian heritage where food was grown and sourced locally, and growing up with her 6 brothers and sisters helping Mum, Bertilla and Dad, Tony manage the family farm, Lard Ass grew out of a yearning for simple, goodness bringing back great taste in butter.Monica and Lard Ass values the simple, age-old approach to creating tasty, creamy butter using European imported cultures. She single batch churns cream that is ripened to produce a flavour that is both rich and creamy. With a high butterfat content, Lard Ass cultured butter is ideal for cooking, baking or simply devouring on fresh sourdough or crackers. It looks and feels like butter with a fresh hearty taste.Hosts: Jayde Timms & Sam Baff from Grown Not Flown Guests: Monica Cavarsan from Lard Ass Website: www.lardass.com.auInstagram: @lardassbutter  

Around 1400 dairy workers and milk tanker drivers are on strike today across Victoria, but SA farmers who supply the affected factories are at this stage still having their milk collected for processing, an Australian dairy analyst says a possible whiplash for the industry is a growing probability, and a type of seaweed that has infested waters off Tasmania and Western Victoria has now been found in South Australia for the first time.

This week on the Head Shepherd podcast we have our freshest recruit, James Lines.After only 9 days on the job, Mark got James onto the head shepherd podcast to talk about his upbringing and what lead to him applying for a job at a genetics consultancy firm.James grew up on a mixed farming enterprise, which also had the Gum Hills Merinos stud and south Devon cattle. After a 'gap year' working on the home farm and jackarooing, James studied Ag Science at Adelaide University. He's spent his last year really focusing on genomics during his honours project where he specialised in livestock production. James runs Mark through his project. "It was implementing a genomics program in a stud context, which was at home at Gum Hill." James explains. "It was interesting working with family and working with academics and researchers." James started off by sorting through a decade of data based mainly on wool quality. "Most of the sheep in the population had had yearling measurements for around the 10 months of age." With spreadsheets from 2012 available to him, James set about pulling together a huge database of historical records which he describes as "in a different format every time". Then he moved on to genomics. "I spent a couple of weeks with a lot of helpers and a lot of technology collecting DNA samples on all of the ewes that have scanned in lamb. Which will give us parentage for the first time."... "Combined that all, got through the statistics of it... meshed it all together and it spat out our enhanced genomic breeding values." "It certainly sets you up for your new role!" says Mark. "You couldn't ask for a better background" Mark and James also cover the T90 project. James is one of the T90 trainers helping people navigate materials and the changes they are implementing. James is currently based near Mount Gambier but will be covering Western Victoria, South Australia and also into WA once he's more centrally placed.As Mark describes, James is tailor made for the job.

The first-term Liberal regionally based MP for Western Victoria takes aim at the Andrews Labor government and western Victorian rival, the Animal Justice Party's Andy Meddick as tensions reach fever pitch in the November 26 Victorian state election.

This week on the Head Shepherd podcast we have Charlie de Fegely chatting about things all things sub clover and beyond.Charlie farms in Western Victoria in the foothills of The Grampians. They average around 550mm of rainfall per year and are in a predominantly cropping area but they have chosen to be all stock because of their heavy clay soils.Charlie and his family will be mating 10,000 ewes this year. Last year he mated 8,300 and marked 12,000 lambs. Figures to be very happy with. Charlie chats about his time at the Grassland Society and the "Longterm Phosphate Trial" and Sub Clover research."It was a terrible time [in sheep farming], and we were looking at alternatives to retain viability and long term profitability. Dr Peter Schroder came to me when I was president of the Grasslands Society and he said "Charlie, we've got the help these farmers pick themselves back up after the wool prices have been shot." "The work they'd done at the long-term phosphate trial, it showed clearly that if you put fertiliser on for not much cost you can actually increase your productivity." Charlie says. "One of the ideas behind it was to not have to put a tractor and seeder through the paddock. And it did work. The sub clover seed was there, it just had to be grazed hard enough to let it come back, and fertilised. And people were ecstatic" "It was a great time to be part of extending information to farmers as it actually put a smile back onto farmers faces... It was amazing to be a part of it." He says. "That was one of the programs they (MLA) ever invested in and there's a lot of people that actually need it again to understand pasture quality and the impact on the animal."Charlie is still implementing those principles and is a huge fan of sub clover with some phenomenal looking pastures on his farm. "We've applied the principles... fertilising and grazing. Then all of a sudden the clover comes up" Charlieexplains his weaning pastures which are an impressive sight. "We use a combination of sub clover and perennial ryegrass. I will say at 12/14kg ha of clover some people might think that's a lot, but it ends up looking like a fodder crop of clover." "It carries another month of great quality. It allows us to finish weaning of mum and get a month of extra growth."The "measure to manage" mindset has followed Charlie through his career. After period of consulting, Charlie realised "I could actually do better staying at home because we had the opportunity to expand."Now at home full time, with the farm ever growing, Charlie is starting to dabble in genetics. When Charlie bred merinos he managed to remove dag from his flock, something of which he's keen to do again in his Composites.  "We've got some really productive sheep but we've bought some traits in we don't like. So by breeding our own rams we can take out some of those traits." Charlie and Mark also cover the Zanda McDonald award, mating hoggets and much more in this podcast. Thanks Charlie for sharing your time with us.Check out The Hubthehub.nextgenagri.comOur community where our members have the opportunity to keep up to date with everything we are working on.

On this episode: We are joined by Terri Pryse-Smith – One Nation's Upper House candidate for Western Victoria at the upcoming Victorian election. Terri has spent years watching the illogical, irrational and just plain crazy decisions of elected Governments, but the last two years have taken it to a new level. Just like many others, Terri suffered through the pandemic restrictions at both a business and personal level, which motivated her to run as a Federal candidate for the United Australia Party and now for a State candidate for One Nation. Terri discusses a broad range of issues faced by her local community in Victoria and recounts many of her own experiences that led her to being a candidate. Importantly, she is fighting for accountability of our elected officials.

Today's guest Sophie Weeding is rural girl born and bred making her make as a mark as super talent bed and breakfast creator in Tasmania. Born of late nights scrolling on Pinterest while breastfeeding her babies – Soph realised she could channel her skills in design and branding in a venture recreating old homes near her farm in Tasmania. To-date she has three super gorgeous accommodation options under her belt, The Bruny Boathouse, Raffah House and a new addition - a beach shack on the east coast of Tasmania Sophie is a full time mum, secretary of the local Agricultural Show and her love project is the renovation and management of these three Bed and Breakfasts. Sophie lives in Oatlands in Tasmania with her husband Nick and her two children Willie and Archie Soph actually great up in the lush landscape of Western Victoria, so I wondered how on earth she ended up in Tassie in the first place.

I was born in a town in Western Victoria called Warrnambool, but grew up on a dairy farm. The most significant thing for me about the beautiful coastal town of my birth, was a businessman by the name of Fletcher Jones. He went from selling clothes out of a bullock dray to employing 3600 people in Warrnambool. At one stage he gave his employees 51 percent of his business. His employees loved him for his kindness, generosity and business acumen. His cooperative venture became the equity distribution base for Spiritual-Busyness. I then took the McDonald's franchising model and married the two together, creating Spiritual-Busyness.

In this episode, I share my animal rights activism journey in the hopes it inspires you to get active for the animals. After going vegan I joined a facebook group called Vegans of Geelong.  It's a good resource for finding local vegan restaurants and foods, but more importantly upcoming events.  I first came across Victorian Lamb Rescue on this platform when they were selling vegan pies as a fundraiser. Not long after going to the sanctuary, I saw the middle east live export expose and was called to find a way to help. I contacted Victorian Lamb Rescue and asked if they needed any volunteers and lucky for me, they said yes! For four years now, I have been a regular volunteer at the sanctuary, as well as helping with animal transport and fundraising initiatives. I came across an Anonymous for the Voiceless Cube of Truth event advertised in the facebook group and decided to go along and see what it was about. I attended their next event, holding a screen showing slaughterhouse footage and felt a strong sense of pride and solidarity. I quickly took to outreach, loving interactions with the public and within six months became an Organiser of the Geelong Chapter. I then decided to join the Animal Justice Party (AJP) to financially support the amazing work Andy Meddick was doing after being elected. During COVID19, I had a little more time on my hands and decided to join an online meeting for my regional group. They had a number of positions vacant, so I put my hand up to help with social media. After doing social media for the region for just under a year, I was nominated to be the Regional Group Leader for Western Victoria which is quite an honour.In this episode, I call on vegans to get active for the animals as well as discuss the diversity of organisations and ways to get involved. I also answer commonly asked questions about Cube of Truth events and the importance of having elected representatives in Parliament to bring about change for animals.https://www.instagram.com/akyndlife/https://www.facebook.com/elisha.atchisonhttps://www.instagram.com/viclambrescue/https://www.instagram.com/anonymousforthevoiceless/https://www.instagram.com/animaljusticepartyvic/https://www.instagram.com/ajpvicwesternvictoria/

School should be a safe space, not a peadophile's playground. The community was in shock after the 2013 Royal Commission revealed...

In this salon hang, there is a cross at the center and then there's three photographs around it of different landscapes. All of the landscapes are significant to the representation of the cross. When Australia was colonized by the British, they set up a series of missions all across Australia, and they were generally run by British or German Christians. Their sole objective was to remove Aboriginal people off the land, teach them English, and teach them Christian ways so that then they could become servants for white owners of the land. Basically, the missionaries played a very significant role in the shaping of colonial Australia and Aboriginal lives for the last 150 years. The church for us has been a very destructive force, and its been bittersweet sometimes in the case of Kaurna in Adelaide. We had a place called Pirltawardli where they recorded Kaurna language, almost 4,000 words, by the German missionaries. But at the same time they then started a thing called the Stolen Generation where they removed children away from their parents and they took them 700 kilometres away from Adelaide to a place called Port Lincoln on the other side of the gulf. The children were then just brought up in English language and Christianity. This has had a knock-on effect where we've had to spend the last 50 years since racial segregation ended picking up the pieces of the damage of colonization. So we've had to relearn language and learn our ways and reconnect with them. And some people managed to hold on to some things in missions, but it was really determined on how strict a mission was. Some missionaries allowed language to be taught. But in the case of Point Pearce where the majority of Kaurna people were taken there was a strict no language rule. Missions were quite destructive in our history. To me, the places around them are relevant to sites of missions. That you see to your right, is an area called Lake Condah, which was set up in Western Victoria at a place where the Gunditjmara were taken, and also other Koori, Victorian Aboriginal people, were taken to that site. There was a lot of displacement, moving people around so that they didn't have connections to their relatives. The missions were really really horrible places for the Aboriginal people.

Diversity and inclusion employment practices are often focused on recruitment, but not on retention. Promoting cultural competency in the creative sector is a step towards creating safe spaces that foster and encourage equity. In his keynote at the Fair Play symposium, Rob Hyatt from the Koorie Heritage Trust talks about the importance of identity in workplaces, and specifically addresses the arts sector in his keynote about cultural safety and inclusion.Rob Hyatt is an Aboriginal man with ties to the Lake Tyers community and the Wotjobaluk in Western Victoria. He is the education manager of the Koorie Heritage Trust and works to foster an understanding of contemporary Aboriginal communities through an awareness of the past.Rob explains the importance of identity and connection to Aboriginality through heart and mind. And one of the activities he uses in this training, which he also does as part of this talk is to ask the people to write where they are from on a piece of paper .. but I won't give this away. You'll have to listen to hear what happens when people return their piece of paper to him.
