Oh, and here's our index of all episode in one concisepage Running Sheet: Sherlock Holmes 00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:02:25 SA Drink Of The Week The SA Drink Of The Week this week is the Galway Pipe Bourbon Barrel Tawny 10 YO, voted best wine from Australia at the Frankfurt International Trophy 2024, and the Galway Pipe Grand Tawny 12 YO, which won the Grand Gold Award. These two significant awards at the prestigious Frankfurt International Trophy 2024, were against competition from more than 2,550 wines from nearly 30 countries. This is fitting because Sherlock Holmes always smoked a pipe and kept his tobacco in an old slipper. Not sure if he drank Port though? Galway Pipe is named after Sir Henry Lionel Galway, a “notable” governor of South Australia who was renowned for his discerning taste in fine fortified wines. That's not all he was known for. Sir Henry was appointed Governor of South Australia in 1914. He resented the limitations placed upon a constitutional governor, and his governorship was defined by controversy. He managed to anger a wide spectrum of the population. The general public disliked his support of compulsory military training; puritans were angered by his support for gambling and his opposition to prohibition; progressives were infuriated by his opposition to women's enfranchisement; and the political establishment were aghast at his opposition to the White Australia Policy (on the grounds that the Northern Territory needed Asian workers). For this last opinion, he was forced to issue a full retraction and apology. A speech in 1915 in which Galway suggested that trade unionists should be conscripted and sent to the front was widely criticised and gave local cartoonists a field day. It was eventually Galway's support for conscription that saved his governorship; the legislature decided that his efforts to increase voluntary recruitment for the First World War, as well as his support for conscription referendums, warranted keeping him in the role. A motion in the legislature by the Labor opposition in 1917 calling for the abolition of his office failed. After the war, Premier Archibald Peake was considering a proposal to build a national war memorial on the site of Government House, Adelaide, with a new vice-regal residence to be purchased in the suburbs. Galway managed to dissuade Peake from this scheme, and the war memorial was built in a corner of the grounds of Government House. Galway's appointment was not renewed when it expired in 1920; although he was liked by the Adelaide establishment, he had been a spectacularly controversial governor, and the Colonial Office did not give him another post. He returned to England later in 1920. Back to the wine, Galway Pipe in Langhorne Creek is led by Head Winemaker Chris Dix and Senior Winemaker Chad Smith, and is available through BWS, Dan Murphy's, Liquorland, First Choice and more. Galway Pipe Bourbon Barrel Tawny 10 YOComplex flavours on the palate such as caramel, vanilla, fruitcake, and an abundance of sweet spice notes. The small format barrel has a profound influence, amplifying the tawny's character with exotic bourbon notes: delicate interplay of charred wood, rye, and toasted malt characters emerge, entwining harmoniously with the tawny's essence to create a perfect union. Galway Pipe Grand Tawny 12 YOAged in oak barrels for an average of 12 years, this exquisite, rich blend of character-filled grape varieties. A complex flavour profile of raisins, dried pears, grilled nuts and spicy oak. The palate is balanced with levels of sweetness and acidity, perfectly crafted and aged, ready to drink. 00:17:42 Sherlock Holmes Society with Peter Dunn Earlier this year, to cleanse my pallate after reading a series of business books, I opted to listen to Stephen Fry's reading of the complete collection of Sherlock Holmes stories. I was smitten. Then I fell off my chair when Adelaide was mentioned in the story, The Adventure of the Abbey Grange, only to fall off again when we got another mention in The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax. My curiosity compelled me to ascertain whether or not the ships, Rock of Gibraltar and Bass Rock, actually existed and carried passengers from Adelaide to Southampton. I found evidence for the latter, and also discovered that Adelaide has a group called Unscrupulous Rascalls, but I have failed to be able to make contact with them. So, after reaching out to Keith Conlon, who put me in touch with ABC Adelaide Producer John Thompson-Mills, I was invited onto the Drive program with Jo Laverty, and through that discussion, I met Peter Dunn, who was a member of the original Sherlock Holmes Society Of Australia. He joins me now in what I hope will be a singular episode of The Adelaide Show. Original members of the Sherlock Holmes Society Of Australia, from left, Anne Dunn, Peter Dunn, and founder, Alan Olding, at the launch of the movie, “Young Sherlock Holmes” Before we proceed, I must say that I love Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's use of English, in particular, his use of the adjective, singular. I find myself using it. Are there any other words or phrases that rubbed off on you, other than, elementary (which rarely comes up)? How did the Sherlock Holmes Society of Australia come to be, and what drove its members' passion for Holmes? Let's have a listen to how The Case Of The Elusive Sherlock Holmes Society came to be solved, thanks to the Jo Laverty interview on ABC Adelaide. This is my second interview with Jo on the day. Tell us more about the society and some of those connections to stories and to the author. In my first chat with Jo Laverty, I brought up the only blemish in Stephen Fry's narration, when he we trying to do the accent of Lady Brackenstall from Adelaide, whose maiden name was Mary Fraser. Here's a snippet from the story, The Adventure Of The Abbey Grange. What do you think of that accent? We should go back to the beginning and “A Study in Scarlet” because this is how we meet Holmes and Watson and set the stage for all that followed. Charting the story through the lens of Holmes seems to me to have been a master stroke. What do you like about it? How does it compare to the odd story written from Holmes' perspective? “The Final Problem” was the story when we meet Moriarty and both he and Holmes supposedly die. What sort of discussion arose around this story in the society? Let's turn to “The Hound of the Baskervilles”— because this has remained the most popular Holmes story and is where we experience the clash of spiritualism with Holmesian logic. Can you imagine Doyle's inner world as he wrote this? This brings us to October in 1920, when Sir Arthur Conan Doyle visited Adelaide to give a lecture on spiritualism. Samela Harris pointed out a scathing review. I will read some of it, and then let's discuss the enigma that the famous author was: CONAN DOYLE'S VISIT UNINSPIRING LECTURES. AN INTOLERANT “EVANGEL” Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has come to Adelaide and gone, but he probably made few converts to the “faith.” The curious thing was that the noted spiritualist did not profess to be able to make them. All he hoped to do was to “sow the seed,” so that those people who thought well enough of it could continue their enquiries into the new revelation, which, really isn't new at all. This seems a sweeping confession of one's impotence to convince the public mind of the truths of the cult when it comes from so high an apostle of the movement — “the flaming evangelist of spiritualism,” as he was billed; a man who claims to have spent 34 years of his important life reading about it, delving into it, and experimenting with it. It is a poor apostle who has such small faith in his ability to garner fresh recruits! As a lecturer Sir Conan lacks the power to grip or arrest an audience. In a physical and mental sense there is plenty of him, but his rugged personality is too material, his emotions too inflexible, and his arguments too unconvincing to impress or influence a mass of earnest, intelligent isteners. WAR ON DOUBTERS. But those are not his only handicaps. He exhibits a vexed and an intolerant attitude towards those who dare to differ from him. Instead of extending a charitable and winning indulgence to his critics or honest doubters he hurls cutting jibes at a “sneering and jeering world,” scoffs at the “amazing ignorance and enormous impertinence of little people,” contemptuously brashes aside “so-called leaders of science and religion,” and rails at “the great stupidity and levity of the press.' His style is unreasonably didactic and his methods jarring. It is “the Gospel according to Sir Conan” — and woe unto the unbeliever! While no one will question the sincerity or honesty of the celebrated visitor, there were yet elements surrounding the series of his Adelaide lectures which smacked of the “showman.” Often when unfolding an interesting phase or enunciating a certain principle the speaker would abruptly break off with the intimation that he would deal with that in a later discourse — “to be continued in our next,” as the serial says — and what was originally intended to be two addresses developed into four “spellbound” lectures, the last, as the public notice read, “at popular prices notwithstanding the enormous success of Sir Arthur's visit.” DISAPPOINTED LISTENERS. So far as it was possible to glean opinions of people who attended the lectures it seemed that many were disappointed that there was no public seance given which might help to clear away suspicion or stimulate thought on the revelation. At such a time in the history of the world when people are borne on the surging bosom of a restless sea of doubt and distrust, when there is an expectant longing for something that is new and entrancing, the way of the man with a fresh and fascinating gospel is open if his doctrine is but convincing. But there was little tangible in whatSir Conan had to say or present. Even for the genuineness of some of his spirit pictures he would not vouch, and he shattered the popular belief that the camera would never lie. Then he admitted the unreliability of some of the mediums and warned his hearers to beware of fraud. “We have discovered,” said Sir Conan, “that certain people have the power to throw out a substance generally known as psycho-plasm, which is at the basis of all this material phenomena. It is thrown out by certain people — more by some than others— and it is this psychoplasm which really makes the medium.” What do you think about some of the later Holmes stories. To me, there was a decline in the quality of the last ones in His Last Bow and The Case Book Of Sherlock Holmes. Peter what are your favourite moments and stories from the Holmes canon? Let's draw to a close with an obscure story How Watson Learned the Trick, which is not included in the main collections and was written for a specific occasion. This short piece was for a booklet compiled for Queen Mary's Dolls' House. He also wrote The Field Bazaar for a university fundraiser. [I will read How Watson Learned The Trick]. This is like Holmes in fast forward. Your thoughts? What do you think Holmes and Doyle have brought to cultural and intellectual life around the world? How Watson Learned The Trick, from Arthur-Conan-Doyle.com Watson had been watching his companion intently ever since he had sat down to the breakfast table. Holmes happened to look up and catch his eye. “Well, Watson, what are you thinking about?” he asked. “About you.” “Me?” “Yes, Holmes. I was thinking how superficial are these tricks of yours, and how wonderful it is that the public should continue to show interest in them.” “I quite agree,” said Holmes. “In fact, I have a recollection that I have myself made a similar remark.” “Your methods,” said Watson severely, “are really easily acquired.” “No doubt,” Holmes answered with a smile. “Perhaps you will yourself give an example of this method of reasoning.” “With pleasure,” said Watson. “I am able to say that you were greatly preoccupied when you got up this morning.” “Excellent!” said Holmes. “How could you possibly know that?” “Because you are usually a very tidy man and yet you have forgotten to shave.” “Dear me! How very clever!” said Holmes. “I had no idea, Watson, that you were so apt a pupil. Has your eagle eye detected anything more?” “Yes, Holmes. You have a client named Barlow, and you have not been successful with his case.” “Dear me, how could you know that?” “I saw the name outside his envelope. When you opened it you gave a groan and thrust it into your pocket with a frown on your face.” “Admirable! You are indeed observant. Any other points?” “I fear, Holmes, that you have taken to financial speculation.” “How could you tell that, Watson?” “You opened the paper, turned to the financial page, and gave a loud exclamation of interest.” “Well, that is very clever of you, Watson. Any more?” “Yes, Holmes, you have put on your black coat, instead of your dressing gown, which proves that your are expecting some important visitor at once.” “Anything more?” “I have no doubt that I could find other points, Holmes, but I only give you these few, in order to show you that there are other people in the world who can be as clever as you.” “And some not so clever,” said Holmes. “I admit that they are few, but I am afraid, my dear Watson, that I must count you among them.” “What do you mean, Holmes?” “Well, my dear fellow, I fear your deductions have not been so happy as I should have wished.” “You mean that I was mistaken.” “Just a little that way, I fear. Let us take the points in their order: I did not shave because I have sent my razor to be sharpened. I put on my coat because I have, worse luck, an early meeting with my dentist. His name is Barlow, and the letter was to confirm the appointment. The cricket page is beside the financial one, and I turned to it to find if Surrey was holding its own against Kent. But go on, Watson, go on! It ‘s a very superficial trick, and no doubt you will soon acquire it.” 01:17:59 Musical Pilgrimage In the Musical Pilgrimage, we feature song by Professor Flint, Creatures Of The Slime. This is the third album by the Prof, and a total of five albums from the pen of Michael Mills all from this calendar year of 2024 [in the episode, Steve suggests that is the tally of all time – nup, he's prolific (among other things)] All the links are here. The new album, “Creatures of the Slime” , has just dropped and explores the remarkable fossil heritage of the Flinders Ranges. It comprises 16 newly recorded songs, including a song about Spriginna, the South Australian fossil emblem. In our discussion with Peter, he points out that the nearby Hallett Cove Conservation Park now has a model Diprotodon, which Peter went to see, bumping into the man who found the fossilled remains of the massive marsupial from our past. Diprotodon at Hallett Cove, photo taken by Peter Dunn It is a great example of what happens when creatives work with researchers at places such as the South Australian Museum, to create content for the community. And while mostly for young humans, aged 12 and under, and their families, the album includes the title track, remixed by a US DJ, having played the song on a regular basis at a nightclub in Los Angeles!Support the show: https://theadelaideshow.com.au/listen-or-download-the-podcast/adelaide-in-crowd/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Navigating a pregnancy and birth of a baby can be exciting, overwhelming, and challenging. For First Nation's parents however, this universally challenging time is compounded by an additional and constant stress. Not only do Aboriginal parents face the usual challenges facing all new parents, they also carry with them the devastating impacts of colonisation and the ongoing effects of the Stolen Generation. Far from being ancient history, the threat of removal from home care is an ever-present and ongoing source of anxiety for Aboriginal families, with their children currently being removed from home at a rate that is over 10 times the national average. This is just one of many statistics that highlight the entrenched racism that is inherent in our systems, causing ongoing inequities in health outcomes and in our society. White Australians live, work, and birth in a system that is built by them and for them. For Indiginous and Torres Straight Islander People, the reality of colonisation and the legacy of the White Australia Policy is something that must be confronted, and survived, every day. The impacts of this on every aspect of their birth and parenting experience is profound. We are so grateful to our guests Lily and Jordy for sharing their story with us.

Australia: The CookbookBy Ross Dobson Intro: Welcome to the number one cookbook podcast, Cookery by the Book with Suzy Chase. She's just a home cook in New York City, sitting at her dining room table, talking to cookbook authorsRoss Dobson: I'm Ross Dobson and my latest book is out in Australia: The Cookbook.Suzy Chase: In order to understand Australian cuisine I think we need to understand and know about Australian first peoples who have been there for at least 50,000 years, the longest continuous civilization during this time, Aboriginal Australians were creating and inventing dishes that boggle the mind. I'm curious to hear about a few of those dishes. And might I add you noted that many Australians are unaware of these dishes?Ross Dobson: This fascinated me when I started to research the book and look into it more. I think many Australians are not really aware of the contribution that the first peoples made prior to colonization, and they're finding more and more evidence to indicate that the First Peoples weren't just hunters and gatherers, they farmed fish, they grew seeds to make a flatbread of sorts and they certainly were eating a lot of the abundancy food that we have here, unique species, like our own lobster, Moreton Bay bugs and the Barramundi fish and there was a great recipe, which isn't in the book. A friend of mine who's an Aboriginal elder was talking about his tribe made what was like kind of a blood pudding of sorts using all parts of the kangaroo very similar to the blood puddings we see in parts of Europe and his tribe, that was their special dish. There's so many things like this fascinated me and we simply didn't learn about them, but working on the book really opened my eyes. And then we were lucky enough to have Jody Orcher who wrote a short essay in the book extolling the virtues of indigenous ingredients. So it's been a wonderful learning process.Suzy Chase: Yeah. I definitely want to hear about Jody Orcher, but first, can you describe the three main periods of Australian food?Ross Dobson: Writing the recipes for the book in a way was the easy part. I felt like the introduction was a real challenge to try and encapsulate what Australian food was about. And I was playing around with clumsy metaphors and wasn't really sure and I had one of those light bulb moments where I've sat up in bed one night and thought, well, let's history dictate what Australian food is all about and it's a timeline. The first people have been here for tens of thousands of years. So I divided the food of Australia in two, three epochs or periods and the first period is the tens of thousands of years. The first people who've been here, the colonists from Britain came over who mostly are the English military class or Irish convicts. They brought with them their food from 1788 onwards. And I must say a lot of that food for 150 years or so was quite repetitive and blend. That's not to say there aren't diamonds in the rough, there's amazing delicious recipes in there. But then the third period of Australian food comes in the 1950s when Australia opens its doors to immigrants, particularly from Southern Europe, Greece, and Italy, and they bring in coffee, coffee machines, Parmesan, basil, a whole range of ingredients. And the most important one was probably garlic because the Australians like the English loathed garlic, and they rarely cooked with it. And then moving forward a bit more into the 70s. We have a huge influx of mostly political asylum seekers coming to Australia in the early 70s. Mostly Vietnamese bringing their incredible fresh take on food. But I must note, during all this time, the Chinese had been here from the gold rush in the 1800s hundreds, and they were setting up camps, selling food in the gold rush camps and then cooking in the early 1900s. It's estimated that one third of all cooks in Australia were Chinese because this was the only job they could do legally. So we have this amazing rich culture of food that, although there are three periods, we now see a lot more of this overlapping appreciating First People's food. And of course we love the flavors of the Mediterranean Italy, Greece, and also Asian food. Australians are crazy for Asian ingredients.Suzy Chase: The First Peoples, the immigrants to Australia were so instrumental in setting up the food that you have today. Can you describe the hybrid Chinese/Australian cuisine that popped up in the mid 19th century?Ross Dobson: Again, fascinating stuff because the Chinese had been here working very hard, kind of in the background on mining camps, in the gold rush period. And then interesting period, one that we're not particularly proud of it. In 1901 the Australian government implemented the White Australia Policy where it meant only white people could come and live here and then all the Chinese people that have been living here were completely ignored and weren't allowed on property or have jobs. So one of the only jobs that could do was cook and they set up restaurants in, you could almost say literally every Australian town in Australia, from the cities to the Outback towns and here they put aside their own personal tastes like a lot of the Italians and Greeks in the beginning when starting businesses here, they put us on their own personal tastes, that is what they cooked at home and they cooked what they, what made money and what sold to the locals. So we have a lot of land dishes, which is very unusual and unique because most of the Chinese food cooked in Australia was Cantonese and lamb wasn't really big on the menus in that region of China. So we have a dish called Mongolian lamb. I know there's a Mongolian beef in other countries, but Mongolian Lamb has very little to do with Mongolia and a lot more to do with what Australians like to eat. And we have prawn toasts, beautiful prawn cutlets, salt and pepper squid. So the Aussie Chinese ingredient recipes start to use Chinese methods and techniques with the local produce and then in the 50s and 60s, we have a lot of these stable of Chinese are the ingredients like a take on a pork spare rib and we use a different cut of spare rib in Australia, which is very different to America and other places. And then moving into the 80's, when Australians become a little bit more adventurous with their food, we have a salt and pepper squid that is almost on every pub menu in Australia. Now with fish and chips and the hamburger moving further into the eighties, we have even more exciting to like pipis in XO sauce, there's a recipe for that in the book as well. And I felt like I couldn't write a cookbook without indulging that more because there are recipes like ham and chicken roll. Like I've never seen that anywhere else. It's absolutely delicious. It's chicken breasts, fill it with a slice of ham. You roll it up. Then you roll that in spring, roll wrapper and flash fry it and slice it. It's really delicious. So we have this fascinating unique take on Chinese food in Australia. It's really good.Suzy Chase: What are pippis?Ross Dobson: Okay. Pippis, clams. Um, yes, uh, surf clams, tiny little surf clams that, uh, still mostly caught by a traditional method called raking. They're mostly in south Australia on the wild coastline there. I don't know if you're familiar with the technique where you walk in the sand, there's little bubbles and they literally would get a rake and then break with the bubbles, come up and use their fate. And they're not particularly cheap, but the clam in the XO sauce is so delicious and XO is a Chinese sauce and it's called XO because it comes after the Brandy XO brand, which meant something extra special and it came from Hong Kong and the heady days of the eighties, where everything was looked at with opulence and it had lots of seafood in it. And you just need a teaspoon of this in your stir fry.Suzy Chase: You wrote in the book that the industrial revolution was one factor in preventing Australia from developing its own regional cuisines. I found that so interesting.Ross Dobson: So did I, because when I started researching on the book and even prior to that we'd have these discussions, why doesn't Australia have its own regional food? Of course, First People had regional cuisines based on the produce available to them, but certainly for 150 years. And even up until now, most people really started to, uh, come from overseas that weren't convicts. The convict stopped in about 1850. So we had free settlers coming here from that 1850 onwards. And they were educated that were literate they could read and write. And Australian publishing also really took off at this time because Australia is such a big country, people isolated, and they were getting the newspapers. And these were national state newspapers that shared the same news. And lo and behold, they shared the same recipes, which are found fascinating when I started researching serviceably for a cake published in the early 1900s. If it was good enough, it might've been published in a newspaper in say Hobart. And because the print was syndicated, if it was a good recipe, it would be today's equivalent of going viral. So the recipe would go over to Perth or Darwin or Brisbane, and these recipes would be shared. So I think there are two factors in, um, the thing about the industrial revolution. It was communication. And I think we have to think also where we have these countries that have a strong history in regional cuisine. I'm thinking Europe, you might have a village in Italy where someone might put ricotta in their pasta and down the road, it would be heresy to do so because these villages were very isolated often. And I often had their own dialects as well, but in Australia, because we were really populated after the industrial revolution, there was this national communication, if you will. And also production food production comes into play as well as refrigerated food canning of food is very important so ingredients could be shared across the country. So it didn't just limit it to one region. And I hope that explains it a bit further for you, Suzy.Suzy Chase: How did you determine if a recipe was worthy of inclusion in this cookbook?Speaker 2: Well, you know, I was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to work on the project. And the first thing I thought was I just have to put my ego aside. I mean, I've had several food businesses where I've certainly cooked a whole bunch of different, I think things that are really interested in tasty, but that didn't belong in the book because they didn't have a place in our history or our culture or our social structure. So I think that there were really important aspects that a recipe had to belong to all of us. It wasn't just something that a friend told me that they cooked, or I thought that was tasty. And I think this was really important to see it as a collective project. And one of the ways of doing this was, um, doing a lot of research, fascinating Australian government initiative, it's called Trove, it's a national library where they are systematically scanning and putting up documents of literally every printed newspaper that in Australia. So I could Google, for example, banana bread and all banana cake and I might find this recipe first published in 1928, for example and then as I looked further, I thought, well, this really is part of us. This is what we eat. And so really it was about the research and its worthiness was based on, do we have a connection with it? And I really wanted people when they look at the book and I felt like I've got this reaction so far where people go, oh my God, I forgot that existed. I'm so glad it's in the book. So that makes me very happy.Suzy Chase: Like their grandmother used to make it and they forgot about it. What do they mean when they said they forgot it existed?Ross Dobson: Well it's like you know, when I first started looking at the book and you know, I was researching and talking to a whole bunch of people that obvious Australian recipes where pavlova Lamington make pie, but then as I delved a bit further, people might ring me a few days later, France and go, my auntie Joan made a cake, it was called ginger fluff. And I said, I've never heard of that. So I then go to the research and look at the history. And lo and behold, there is a whole bunch of recipes for something called ginger fluff. Another really good example is a cake called peach blossom cake. This was really popular from about 1900 to 1950 or 60. And it wasn't until maybe eight years ago. And I'm sure, you know, you're familiar with the cooking competitions and celebrity chef, et cetera, that now are on television. It wasn't until they had a guest chef from an amazing institution called the CWA, which is a Country Women's Association. And they've been making scones and cakes for a hundred years or so. And a woman went on to the show and made a peach blossom cake and it went viral. People were like, where's this been? And they loved it. It's a very easy cake. It's beautiful to look at. There are other recipes like cream buns and finger buns and match sticks. And a finger bun is like a really soft yeasted bun. It's oval shape, not very big. And it's got some currants and some sultanas in there, and it's generally has a really soft pink icing with a sprinkling of desiccated coconut. And when I put that in the book and people were saying, oh my God, we ate that in the seventies and eighties, but then it's had a huge resurgence. I'm not sure if you're familiar with the term hipsters. We do have them here to Suzy, which fascinates me. They've got bakeries popping up all over the city and the hipsters have now discovered the finger bun and they're making it their own. And I actually just the other week was in one of the local newspapers talking about my classic recipe and they had a few young dudes cooking finger buns and re-inventing them, which is fabulous. So we're really holding on to our food history and it's incredible that people have just taken so warmly to these recipes that have reignited an interest in baking as well. It's really lovely.Suzy Chase: Speaking of history, the essay on indigenous food written by Jody Orcher at the beginning of the book sheds light on the fascinating and ancient culinary techniques that went largely ignored for years and years. Can you talk a little bit about Jody and her tips for demonstrating respect for the cultural integrity of Australian Aboriginal people?Ross Dobson: I first started working on the book. We thought it was imperative to engage an Aboriginal Australian, to write and contribute to the book Jody Orcher is fascinating and genuine and generous, and she sheds light and a knowledge on, on the ingredients is so worthy. Uh, and I must say my scope of knowledge of the First Peoples food. I would say like many of my generation was really went on ignored or, you know, I think it went to go a bit deeper into the whole psyche of when Australia was colonized the British assume that, you know, it had never been colonized before and it was theirs. So I was very much part of that generation and my grandparents, my parents and grandparents weren't enlightened. And I think it's time to open our eyes. And certainly Jody helps us do that with a beautiful essay and a glossary of some of the fascinating ingredients, uh, that showcase the wonderful cuisine of indigenous indigenous people.Suzy Chase: Bushfoods were often considered to be inferior by colonists. Is that changing? Are they making a comeback and restaurants are the hipsters onto it?Ross Dobson: I would say on the most part of getting much more adventurous about Aboriginal indigenous ingredients and many of these now can be bought online because a lot of, a lot of the ingredients like the lemon myrtle and the peppers can be bought because they dry very well. And a few people from overseas have asked me if they can get the ingredients. And I certainly know there's a lot of websites where you can get them and have them shipped to you. But the other thing too, um, with the book was, you know, I think when we think of Australian Aboriginal food, um, in terms of protein, we automatically go straight to the kangaroo, which is very high in protein and you can buy that in the supermarket, but the other meats still very much a niche. It's very difficult to get them. But in looking at this, I realized that we often overlook the native seafood that we eat. Muscles, I mentioned Balmain bugs before Moreton Bay bugs and pippis of course, clams and puppis. And we have our lobsters here, which aren't really lobsters or they're called a spiny lobster. They don't have the claw on the front. They just got a spine spiny thing. And we have yabbies, I think he's a really delicious, they're a freshwater crayfish. All these ingredients are available at the fish market and even the supermarket. And, um, there's a bit of a stereotype that Aussies eat emu koala and kangaroo. And you know, that simply isn't the case. And I hope this book something to throw off the shackles of those stereotypes.Suzy Chase: I hope so too, because I was on an interview on the BBC last week and he said, what's your next cookbook coming up? And I said, I'm interviewing Ross Dobson, who has Australia the cookbook. And he's like, are you going to talk about kangaroo? And I said, oh my God, Maybe, maybe not.Ross Dobson: Well you can talk about it because it makes sense. Like there's a recipe in the book for a Thai kangaroo salad which makes sense because you know, the whole thing about usually use a lean cut of beef in the salad and kangaroo makes perfect sense. So I think it's fun to talk about these things, but as you've looked at the book Suzy and other people, I've really heard, they've gone, oh my God, there's such a wide range of interesting ingredients from all over the place that have come together to make our food truly unique.Suzy Chase: I'm curious to hear about the section at the end of the cookbook on guest chefs.Ross Dobson: At the end of the book, we have these wonderful, um, additions from some incredibly talented, enthusiastic chefs that have contributed recipes that you would say people at the other end of the cooking spectrum with a high degree of knowledge and skill would attempt at home. But what it, what they're there to do is to showcase, I think the talent of chefs in Australia and also their talent in using local and indigenous ingredients and really showcasing Australian food on the world stage, you know, Mark Olive has got this great recipe for it's simple, it's a real fusion. Mark is indigenous Australian and he's using chicken thigh with Spanish Sherry and a native pepper. So that's a really good example of kind of, if you will, high-end Aussie cuisine.Suzy Chase: The other day I made Damper, which is apparently super trendy these days, it's on page 242. Can you describe this?Ross Dobson: That probably came from the influence of the Irish convicts, where soda bread had always been, you know, I loved simple throw together bread. And then in Australia we have a lot of itinerant workers, jackaroos going from farm to farm finding work and they'd have a backpack or a swag bag and carried few things as they could, and they'd have to make food and they would have Billy tea which was a can over a fire. They'd sweeten it with golden syrup, which is also called cockies joy causes swagmen also known as cockies. So it was their sweetener, and this was also used on damper, which was pretty much just two or three ingredients self rising flour, baking powder and some water, or maybe some milk, so it was very, very simple and it too would be cooked in a Dutch oven and just put on the fire with a lid on it. It's lovely, fresh. It's a bread that's meant to be eaten fresh. You know, it's not a yeasted, so it doesn't toast that well the next day, but it's delicious, fresh, and I make it in the cafe and serve it with soups. It's really yummy.Suzy Chase: I read in the book that Aboriginal Australians make a similar style from seeds. Have you ever tried that?Ross Dobson: No, I haven't. And this all came about about three years ago, Bruce Pascoe wrote a book called Dark Emu starting to explore the notion that, and the evidence is there to support it that aboriginals were making a flatbread. I haven't tried it. I would love to. So, um, maybe that could be my project. Try and find a shop that supplies the seeds or the flour and make a flatbread with it. And I'll let you know how it goes if I do, but I'm very keen to do that.Suzy Chase: Tomorrow I'm making a classic Lamington, which I had never heard of. Um, it's on page 310. Can you describe this and talk a little bit about how it got its name?Speaker 2: There is a story that there was a Lord Lamington from England, like a lot of early colonists and he was in Brisbane and the story goes, he had some chefs that had made a cake they dropped the cake by accident into a bowl of chocolate icing and they didn't want to waste it. So they then took the bits of cake out and rolled them in coconut. Not sure if this is true, but it's such a unique cake it could probably only be invented by accident. So there's so many different recipes for a Lamington. I found that, and it's a good tip for you Suzy, If you make the sponge a day before this can just cover it and let it sit overnight, it's much better to have a Lamington that is not fresh. And you dip it into chocolate icing and rolling in coconut. Uh, so good. And I've been making them here at my cafe mini versions. So they're only about an inch square and I'll tell you what, they're delicious as well, but they're a bit fiddly to make. So if you starting it for the first time, I'd probably do the bigger ones.Suzy Chase: So Australians have a way with words like brekkie breakfast, you celebrate chrissy, you shorten more words than any other English speakers. What are your go-to words?Ross Dobson: Well, um, I liked occasionally I'd have a beer and we drink it out of a glass here called a schooner. So I call it a schooey. It sounds absolutely ridiculous doesn't it?Suzy Chase: But they know what you're talking about?Ross Dobson: People would, I would say I have two schooeys of New is brand of beer to be exact, it sounds like another language, but we're funny even you know, the unique Australian coffee flat white people would call it a flatty. It's a very old language. Australians are known for shortening more words, but then if it's too short, that will make, make it longer. It doesn't make any sense. Please. Don't ask me to explain it.Suzy Chase: We're going to move on to my segment called Last Night's Dinner where I ask you what had last night for dinner.Ross Dobson: I very discovered the American version of this book America: The Cookbook and I've been making some great chilies, like as in you call them chili, you know, chili con carne and things like that. But last night I made beef stroganoff and that's what I had for dinner. It's not Australian. I'm sorry to disappoint.Suzy Chase: No I love that though but it's cold where you are, right?Ross Dobson: Yes, it is. And I would never eat that stuff. It's just too hot here. And it's getting down to like three or four degrees at night, which isn't cold by your standards. But I mean, making in America: The Cookbook there's two versions of stroganoff there's the American stroganoff, which uses ground beef. Personally. I thought this sounded a bit odd, the flavors and textures, but I then went for the other one in the book, which uses a Chuck steak or blade steak. And you slow cook that. And so that we thought had noodles, oh my God, it it's very good. And let's face it. Anything with sour cream. I mean,Suzy Chase: You'll have to make that a fad in Australia and you can call it strogey it's my recipe for strogey.Ross Dobson: It'll confuse it even more if we call it stroggy. Isn't that terrible it turns into something very unappetizing.Suzy Chase: Where can we find you on the web and social media?Ross Dobson: Instagram- @RossDobsonFood and I also have a great little cafe Cafe Royce, R O Y C E. And you see so many lovely food pics and mood picks of the cafe. And if you go to my Ross Dobson food Insta when I was working on the book three years ago and testing, I took so many food pictures. I'm very pleased that I did because it was a good memory thing and the food does look really good, so I'm very pleased with that. So do check it out.Suzy Chase: It is Aboriginal lore to only take what you need and leave some for others words. We should all be living by.

This episode, Shadé Zahrai interviews Caitlin Figueiredo, Founder and CEO of Jasiri Australia. She is also an Australian Youth Development Index Expert Panelist of the Ministry of Youth and Sport, Board Member and Vice Chair of Australian Youth Affairs Coalition and Ambassador of Alannah and Madeline Foundation. She was named Young Leader of the 100 Women of Influence in Australia, an Obama White House Changemaker and a Queens Young Leader. Some of her other past roles include, Head of Technology and Data for the Australian Red Cross, Task Force Member for the UN Women, Representative to the UN Annual Youth Assembly, Australian Director for The Global Resolutions Project, Founder and State Director of World Vision ACT. Valuable Discussion Points (01:26) What is the story of Caitlin's leadership journey and what is her experience of leadership at such a young age? For Caitlin, leadership is not defined by age. She started pretty young, and that was mainly because of her grandparents and parents who taught her from a young age that leadership and supporting your community has to start from the time that one is young. So it's always been very natural for her to be a leader. When her family came to Australia from Kenya, a couple of years after the White Australia Policy ended, they found it really difficult in the beginning to fit in. They faced cultural prejudice and racial discrimination. When Caitlin was little, they learnt that the whole part of themselves was to give back to their community, to serve their community and to leave where they live better than they found it. (04:10) What is Caitlin's main program, Girls Takeover Parliament? Jasiri Australia, the organisation founded by Caitlin, runs the Girls Takeover Parliament programme. Essentially, it's an experiential education initiative to create pathways to politics for young women both across Australia and around the world. The whole purpose of Girls Takeover Parliament is to open the closed doors to young women everywhere so that they can be shapers of democracy, so that they can see that even though they're not represented, they can be and that's why Caitlin and Jasiri Australia partner young women with politicians. They've recently had one of their first alumni actually run for office. The program has young women who work in the most senior ministerial offices in the country. They also have alumni go on to create similar programmes in India. The programme aims to create the next generation of politicians and what Caitlin likes to say, creating the next generation of Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. (09:14) Has Caitlin ever experienced imposter syndrome? One example where she experienced imposter syndrome was when she had just won the Young Leader category of the 100 Women of Influence in Australia. She had just turned twenty-one. She thought to herself that she had barely done anything in her life to win and deserve the award. She remembered just absolutely shaking, not having any courage, but she knew that she had to use that moment to overcome imposter syndrome. (22:43) What does Caitlin's mantra, everywhere is an opportunity, mean? There are infinite possibilities in life and that it's up to us to not only find them, but to use it. So what I'd like to tell young women everywhere is that if they have an idea and people tell them no, just keep working until you get a yes. If you don't get that, yes, straight away, find a back door and persist because there is always a way to overcome a problem and make your idea become a reality. Key Learnings For women who hold back from speaking up in meetings, from applying for roles to moving into politics, Caitlin's advice is simple, to just do it, to just start. Don't wait until you think you have the finances or if you are at a certain age in life, if you see that you have the passion behind you and that you want to make a difference, then just do it. From the time we're little, we live in a life of uncertainty. For example, when we are babies and we want to take our first steps, we fall over, and we keep stumbling until we walk until that just becomes natural. So I would say that to any woman who feels like they receive pressure, pushback or discrimination, it will be there but I know that you are not alone and that everything good always starts off with being a challenge but that challenge eventually becomes natural and persistence will turn it into your everyday reality. Caitlin added two tools to the Leadership Toolbox, one personal and one practical. The personal is going back to the Duchess of Sussex to breathe, to live in the moment when you are on this leadership journey the practical tip is about elevating and expanding impact, if you were in a position to do so, support other women around you, go back to service, go back to community. Quotable Quotes “Leadership is not defined by age.” – Caitlin Figueiredo “I stumbled and fell. But I fell upwards.”– Caitlin Figueiredo “It's often the individual who is cast aside. But when an individual joins the collective that is when you create waves of change and that is something I want to show and to champion women everywhere to go, actually, you have this power. Own it. Use it and that's how you can change the world.”– Caitlin Figueiredo Important Resources and Links If you would like to learn more about how CommBank is ensuring women are advancing their growth in business, visit https://www.commbank.com.au/women-in-focus.html.

This week on Women of War we go all around the world with Vera Deakin (daughter of Alfred, he of the White Australia Policy) as she seeks out missing Aussie soldiers for the Red Cross Wounded and Missing Bureau, including one missing young man in particular. Featuring cameos from John Monash, Harold ‘Pompey' Elliott, and an accidental defamation of Peter Fitzsimons (since redacted). This episode contains descriptions of war injuries and what happened to the bodies of the dead during World War I. It also contains some coarse language. It may not be suitable for all listeners. This podcast is recorded on Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrong Land and we pay our respects to Elders past and present. Sovereignty was never ceded. Thanks to Danielle Broadhurst and Jeremy Johnston for their voice-acting contributions. This episode was in part based on Scates, Wheatley and James' work, World War One: A History in 100 Stories. The book Nicola discussed, Pedersen's Anzacs: Gallipoli to the Western Front, is mostly an excellent resource for those curious about Australian military history in World War I, especially for the Sinai-Palestine campaign. Nicola made a mistake when talking about the development of the NHS in the UK being forced by the shortness of British soldiers. Though the development of the NHS may have been driven by this, she meant to say ‘the welfare state' of which the NHS is part. She also misspoke towards the end and said George Irwin (senior) was quartermaster of Katoomba station; he was not, he was the stationmaster. Thanks again to Dr André Brett for sharing the hot goss on train worker salaries during the war.

During the 1960s, the world was in the grip of enormous ideological change. In Australia, there was public outcry against the Vietnam War and growing support for equal pay for women, free education, fair wages, and the abolishment of the White Australia Policy. There was also growing support for radical changes to the rights, or lack thereof, afforded to Indigenous Australians. Helping to drive this movement was a woman who was intimately familiar with what it felt like to face racial discrimination. The daughter of a slave "blackbirded" from the South Sea Islands in the 1880s, Faith Bandler was inspired by the injustices she saw around her to co-found the Aboriginal-Australian Fellowship, and soon began the long fight that would eventually lead to a monumental referendum in 1967. But the referendum was only one part of a bigger whole, and in her latter life, Bandler continued to fight for those who were oppressed, eventually turning her attention towards her cultural roots in Vanuatu.Join us as we grab our placards and take to the streets to celebrate Bandler's contribution to the crucial work towards equality that continues in this country today.Bandler, Faith, & Fox, Len.

William Liu was a tireless campaigner for the rights of other Chinese Australians to live and settle peacefully in this country. Earlier in his life, he had been instrumental in exporting Australia’s department store model to China and Hong Kong. William fervently believed that economic ties between the two countries was the key to a strong relationship. He was often a lone voice in his fight, but he eventually saw success with the normalisation of relations between China and Australia in 1972. More importantly, the Racial Discrimination Act of 1975 officially ended the White Australia Policy. In 1983, William was appointed to the Order of the British Empire. He was a true Australian pathfinder, bringing hope and security to hundreds of Chinese Australians. He died in 1983 on Anzac Day. https://newstories.net.au/william-liu-the-pathfinder-who-fought-for-chinese-rights/

Hi Guys and welcome to Finance and Fury the Furious Friday edition. This is part 7, the last episode of the miniseries about all things politics. Sorry it took a while to cover, I wanted to do this topic justice and explain all the steps and outcomes instead of jumping to conclusions. We have covered a lot, there are many bits of the puzzle. Who, what, how, why, and potential outcomes – We have been through the Fabians, the political spectrum and democracy, then how a population is organised (Rules For Radicals), the fair go, then political progress for equality, then how the west got to be in such a good position, and how we may lose it. If you made it all the way through, awesome work. Thanks for listening to me rant on this Final part: What should the government be involved in? What services should they be involved in? To start: Have a quick real-world example to look at US Government Shutdown: It’s been almost a month, shutdown since 22/12/18. It’s the longest in US history, everyone has called it a crisis Over border funding: $5.7bn for a wall, already compromised to make it steel rather than concrete As a comparison: US gave Israel $25bn to help build their wall Total Government spending (the Fed, States, Etc) is $7.56trn: this is $20.7bn spending a day The Wall is a 0.07% cost to the budget for the year Enter the blame game: Irony is Schumer and Pelosi were in favour of a wall: Until Trump came along. Showing it was mainly just talk More political infighting: First time I have seen Democrats oppose spending more of someone else’s money Question: is the US still spinning? Is life going on? The longer that the shutdown occurs, the more people in the US are waking up to how little they need it But not for the Government workers and the IRS (their tax department) Workers aren’t being paid, but they will be. They will get back pay, for the time of the shutdown whilst they were not working. Is that a good deal? But private citizens are stepping in, picking up trash in parks and helping where they can Truth is that the Government has little to do with lives directly, unless It is paying you, it is taxing/regulating you, or it is arresting you Indirectly though, unfortunately, it affects all of our lives Leads to the last part: What should the Government be involved with, or provide for a country? This differs for where you sit on the political spectrum. It’s no secret which side I sit on, I value individual freedom and empowerment rather than the group thinking that everyone should have equal outcome For this episode, I will try and put my bias aside. The measurement for this episode is: has there been a net positive benefit or loss to a country based on Government Intervention? Progress from betterments to our lives, more freedoms, better health, etc or does it detract? Excluded "moral hazards", not saving money because of the knowledge that the State will provide an age pension and subsidised housing, and over-use of "free" health services in the absence of price signals to consumers. All of which isn’t really free Won’t have time to do this topic justice in 30 minutes. I will give the 1,000-foot view. If you are interested in a deeper dive, let me know If I don’t explain something fully, or you disagree, let me know as well! What the Government is good at: Net positives Funding: Science and R&D. For the past 100 years, most advancement is in fields with the most money and manpower Technology and science: Government Funding has been great. Advancements over 100 years have been from this, like medicine, the internet etc Technological advancements in weaponry and nuclear science during the WWII. Government Funded Rocketry and telecommunications during the Space Race. This was all Government Funded Concentrating a large number of engineers and scientists to work together on the same project will, almost every time, produce more net advancement compared to if every member worked alone. DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) Funded things like the Internet, Google and Google maps, Windows, WWW, video conferencing, Siri, GPS, Facebook This is good: there is a measurable benefit, which the population adopted. Through being a demonstrable fact Most major developments come when the government diverts large budgets to achieve progress (rockets and planes). A vast difference in plane technology from WW1 to WW2. Major boost to development, with the failing of technology progress through history, boils down to individuals with no money or ability to share it Okay for measurable technology, like integrated circuits, they’re very competitive. If your circuits are faster and cheaper it can boost profits for your company. Other forms of technological progress. Less quantifiable as potential improvements, the outcomes are unknown If they not seen as profitable less funding from the private sector is likely If research and development are financed by investors, they want to see as high returns as possible But this is only part of the story. The acceleration of technological progress suspiciously correlates with the population growth A higher population creates a higher net number of scientists /engineers, who can provide more research/work China was advanced until the 1400s. There was a trial by error: high populations, then the EU took over with trial by experiment The issue: The Government mandated and Government ran research. Government bodies paid to research problems will always find a problem. What happens if there is no problem? No money, so then there is no social platform to run on As long as the Government doesn’t take over tech or directing the research, but acts as an investor, this could even make money. Just like universities. It’s a double-edged sword: The faster things change, the more creative destruction. This is not a bad thing. For example in the past with farming, too much at once is bad and it creates unrest. The Government doesn’t like it, and the population gets unhappy with them. Other research: $850,784 for a study of Italy’s Catherine de Medici, a noblewoman who became queen consort of King Henry II (King of France) 1519-1559. Is this needed? National Protection and services: All good Police and Firefighters: Emergency services workers all help the population. They protect and keep us safe, and enforce the rule of law. On the Fence: Positive and negatives preface Education and health are perfectly fine But not perfect with funding models: there are no incentives to minimise costs, it’s the opposite. If you don’t use all of your budget, you won’t get more to use next year Infrastructure: On the fence, It is needed but at what cost? East West link in Melbourne: Estimated $800-900m has been spent on a road to never be built NBN: has cost at least $50bn to date and simply a huge high-risk mistake, no private company would ever have built it. (Rudd) The government ignored improvements in wireless technology and continuing moves away from landline. NBN will face stiff competition from 5G mobile technology and sold at a huge loss. Valuation only at $10bn Health: National Health is declining even though we are more advanced than ever Cost blowouts: Royal Adelaide Hospital is the 3rd most expensive building in the world (per square foot) it has 600 beds and cost $2.5bn Still teaching the food triangle that depicts that carbs are great, but stay away from healthy fats and proteins Where do most of the world’s advancements in medical technology and medication come from? The USA. If Americans didn’t have a profit system, we would not have most of the meds or medical tech we do Education: Is great. But, where have you learnt more? At school or on the job? If still at school, it’s hard to answer I am no expert, I need to learn more. I have got a few books by John Gatto and others to finish What I do know so far? Government Education is a new concept in past 100 years, it’s modelled around factory workers Education levels are higher now, looking at literacy rates. Was it government policy, or a changing world? When the Government took over in the early 1900s, the population needed to work, not go to school (Farmers, etc). it forced education they didn’t need, there was low attendance. Today there is a higher % of population in non-trade/construction/manufacturing positions All schools private: More competition, lower fees all around. 35% are independent/ catholic currently But wouldn’t work: not really private, Australia has no-profit schools (private higher education does, there are 170 of them) Australian Average Education is $20-30k for independent schools. One of the highest education costs in the world What might help: Education (Self Education focused on the individual around needs) I went to school in Austria for a while. The system is set up more for the kids’ interests There are nine years of education. Then there are a series of vocational-technical and university tracks to follow University, gymnasium, and Trades like the Polytechnische Schule Putting everyone through the same meat grinder ends up leaving everyone behind, becoming a learned helplessness What it hurts Economic: The quest for equality, where most research funded from the government or special interest groups show the need for government intervention with this In the early-20th century: the view that progress was being stifled by vast economic inequality The cause was minimally regulated laissez-fairecapitalism with monopolistic corporations; Often violent conflict between workers and capitalists would erupt due to the claim, so it needed to be addressed Sherman Antitrust Act: made it illegal for anti-competitive practices (monopolies, cartels, predatory pricing) in the 1890s This was helpful and helped improve competition and remove monopolies But is it obsolete? 60-80% of advertisements through Facebook and Google. Twitter and their competitor Gab just gets shut down 21st Century: Legislation to redistribute, which is not so good. Tax people to pay for things for others, in other words, Social Democracy Welfare state: Reliance on government also increases what revenues governments need Tax: Mandatory financial charge imposed on the taxpayer by the Government From 1915 to 1942 Income taxes were introduced. A relatively new concept in society as previous taxes were on wealth and land ownership Rome had a 1-3% tax on value of wealth owned for citizens, in times of war you got a vote if you paid tax Progress: Everyone gets a vote and can vote for more redistributions, changes voting a bit Equality through social organisation. A change of policy to affect the population, where we get political activism Question: Is it better to let people choose to adopt something or are they forced to? Legislate for compelled compliance in society, introduce laws to control society. Make it the way progressives want Governmental power of the population is increased when some of the population want it Issues: Speech (limits freedom) with racism and ‘speech laws’, or ‘hate speech’ who defines hate? Already illegal to incite violence through speech, telling people to hurt someone Sonja Kruger was taken to court for blasphemy for her comments 2 years ago about a ‘Muslim ban’ in the US Only from nations with links to Terrorism, not Indonesia (1# for Muslims), or Egypt (1# for Arab) Claimant took her to human rights tribunal, she pays costs upfront and taxpayers pay for claimant The individual is the extreme minority. If you don’t protect the individual’s rights you are failing at protecting minorities. Islamophobia or homophobia is incorrect terminology as a phobia is an irrational fear Rewriting history to suit a narrative, Australian History lesson: Labor party was the one who implemented the White Australia Policy, the ALP wanted more direct methods of exclusion than the dictation test Menzies and Holt (two Liberal Conservatives) were the ones to start dismantling it. Interesting how perception changes Environment: Is the improvement in cleanliness from Government Regulations, or from improving technology? Nobody wants to see pollution or to ruin the earth. But for all the taxes on climate change, what benefit is there? Water: Green/ALP opposition to building new water storages. State governments tried to reduce demand by increasing prices (also generating revenue). Haven’t had a dam built for a capital city since Melbourne’s Thomson Dam in 1984 Drought reappeared from 2003 to 2010. There is little scope for further water savings State governments panicked and rather than build dam, they started spending on desalination plants (massively more expensive to build and operate than storage dams that can fill at virtually no cost). Melbourne plant cost $4 billion, Sydney cost $1.803 billion, Gold Coast cost $1.2 billion, and Adelaide plant cost $2.2 billion Sydney plant's costs are more than $500,000 a day, and it has not supplied any water since 2012 Desalination also uses enormous amounts of electricity and (despite not being used) is responsible for adding $100 to $200 annually to household water bills. Electricity: Destroying electricity system, replacing cheap and reliable coal-based generators with wind and solar power. Electricity costs are double those of US and Canada. Power prices have increased 60+% in the last ten years Huge subsidies for renewables and a failure of regulation are the main causes. Subsidies paid to producers of renewable electricity are $3 billion per year, yet power is more expensive Coal and nuclear are the two cheapest sources of base load power Carbon emissions by the rest of the world. Our efforts to reduce "greenhouse" emissions won't work We make up about 1% of global emissions, which is high for our population Australia's shunning of coal or nuclear energy is the equivalent to Saudi Arabia banning the domestic use of its oil. While wanting to regulate prices, we can’t have both (low prices with low supply) Side note: immigration 3rd to 1st world, individuals use 20 times the emissions they did previously. Logically, for lower emissions, against immigration automatically as it increases emissions being produced. How far do we go? Currently, people want the Government to have large involvement in ‘combating climate change’ Religious fervour about it, like modern blasphemy Again, nobody wants to live in a toxic environment (pollution). But, everything is relative. The US in 2009 gave $26.1bn to climate change, $641m was climate science You are a scientist, it is easy funding and good pay. But have to prove that the problem is there, just like before if there is no problem, then no money School kids and protesters demanding the Government drop emissions We are the ones that emit, but they need a parental figure to walk in a fix the problem for them Introducing stresses in their brain which increases cortisol. A constant confusion, fear of climate can lead to long term negative impact on brain development To wrap up this series: A lot of what the Government does can be handled by the private sector If private companies or employees don’t perform, they get replaced. The Government never replaces itself What you can do: Talk about politics (only if you are interested). There is a stigma in society about talking about politics, why? Best way to have population avoid it altogether if it is never spoken about, and then no need to pay attention and removes the possibility of people discussing ideas Same with money, it's impolite to talk about money? Why? Opening facts into the public conversation, it makes people think for themselves, not just repeat false rhetoric Most people know more about what is happening in their favourite tv shows than in politics. The tv show has very little impact on your life compared to current political events. Opens a debate about the issue, rather than silencing one group, everyone should be heard Don’t be afraid to speak your mind, learn as much as you can for what is relevant Make your own path in life and be less reliant on external forces. This is what gives you individual liberty Which is at the heart of financial freedom! If you made it through, thank you very much for listening to this series. I hope it wasn’t boring and was actually interesting. If you have any questions or want me to explore one of these topics further, you can let me know on the contact page here.

Reboot: C is for Cunt

The A to Z of Sex

Please enjoy again: C is for Cunt Hi everyone! Welcome to the A to Z of Sex. I'm Dr Lori Beth and I am your host. We are working our way through the erotic alphabet one letter at a time. Just a reminder this podcast deals with adult content, so if you don't have total privacy, you might want to put on your headphones. Today the letter is C and C is for Cunt. As Dr Kate Lister said in her chapter on the subject, ‘as far as offensive words go, you are entering a hardhat area'. (The link in the notes takes you to the excerpt and I highly recommend all of her writing.) If you are easily offended, this is probably not the podcast for you this week. Cunt is the word for vulva. According to Dr Kate Lister, cunt is the oldest world for female genitalia in the English language and quite possibly in Europe. She goes on to say that in 1500 Wynkyn de Worde defined ‘vulva' as ‘in English, a cunt'. At this time, cunt was a descriptive word. Dr Kate Lister provides an hilarious history of the word and it's usage to modern times in the chapter referenced above. She highlights that by the 18th century, the word cunt is now used as a curse and seen as a lude and indecent word. Currently, cunt is the word that lots of women refuse to say. They see it as offensive no matter how it is being used. This varies from culture to culture. For example in America, it is the insult that means your wife or girlfriend might end the relationship but in the drag community in the US, a queen might be called cunty to highlight a high level of femininity. In the UK, New Zealand and Australia it is usually used to refer to a man. When a man uses the term to refer to another man, in some parts of the world it is the worst insult you can use and in others it can be seen as a term of endearment. In New Zealand, a man may refer to another man as ‘a good cunt' meaning a good guy. I find this hilarious given the true meaning of the term. The word cunt appears in literature up through the 21st century. It is used several times in the Canterbury Tales (1390) and is used openly so is not seen to be vulgar or obscene. There is some suggestion that by Shakespeare's day, cunt was seen as obscene. Even so, he enjoyed sneaking the word cunt in where he could. Cunt can be used to describe someone who is a fool or an annoying person. The word featured in one of the most famous obscenity trials in the UK. This was in the trial for the publication Oz. Oz was an underground magazine that was at first released in Australia in 1963 and was primarily satirical. It covered topics like homosexuality, White Australia Policy, Australian involvement in the Viet Nam War and of course, censorship. There were two obscenity trials in Australia during the life of the magazine in Australia. The founders were sentenced to three to six months in prison with hard labour. They were released on bail pending appeal and the convictions were eventually overturned. Two of the founders (Sharp and Neville) headed for London in February 1966. The third founder (Walsh) continued to publish a smaller edition of Oz until 1969. In 1966, the London Oz was founded by Neville, Sharp and another Australian Jim Anderson. The magazine turned more psychedelic. The magazine was targeted by the UK Obscene Publications Squad and their offices were raided a number of times. The editors often invited groups of people to ‘edit an issue'. One was edited by gay people, another by the female liberation movement. Finally, they asked a group of secondary school students to edit issue number 28 which came out in May 1970. One article was a very sexual Rupert Bear parody written by a 15 year old. This marrying of school children and ‘obscene' writing was what led to the obscenity trial in 1971. In the 1971 Oz obscenity trial the prosecutor asked one of the principals if he would call his 10 year old daughter a cunt and he...
