Podcasts about Whittlesea

On todays show we go looking for the Straw Bear of Whittlesea, an annual winter custom set deep in the Cambridgeshire Fenlands.No one quite knows where the bear comes from or how it even began but we do know that it was banned in the 19th century as it was seen as a form of begging. A person or driver is wrapped completely in Straw, head to toe, and danced around the town to celebrate Plough Monday. After the revival it's now seen as something of enormous pride for the local population, bringing in people and Morris sides from all over the country. Expect sub zero temperatures, Woodwo's and plenty of Osses!Enjoy Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Acknowledgement of Country// Headlines// Nathalie Farah of Disrupt Wars joined us live from the community picket that's been running weekly on Thursday and Friday mornings outside Heat Treatment Australia in Campbellfield. The picket has been established and maintained into its seventh week by members of the local Hume community in support of Palestine, who are protesting against HTA's role in heat-treating vital components required for Lockheed Martin's F-35 Joint Strike Fighter given their use by Israel in the genocide of Palestinians. Hume community members have committed to continued action outside HTA until it ends its contracts with weapons manufacturers profiteering off war and genocide.// Dr Sue Lewis, Acting President of the Victorian Forest Alliance, spoke with us about the recent announcement of the impending end of Vic Forests, which is set to wind up in mid-2024 after years of grassroots activism, official inquiries, legal battles and Parliamentary debate about the widespread harm that the entity has caused to Victoria's native forests. With the end of Vic Forests on the near horizon, we discussed the implications of its closure and what comes next for statewide native forest management. Respond to Kinglake Friends of the Forest's urgent call to action against Forest Fire Management Victoria's planned burns by sending an email (details below) or using the template here.// In the spirit of World Social Work Day, which falls on 20 March, we replayed an interview from June 2023 featuring Angelica Ojinnaka-Psillakis talking about the importance of investing in authentic youth voices, youth participation in mental health sectors, and advocacy. Angelica Ojinnaka- Psillakis is a youth development advocate, researcher, and speaker. She served as the 2022 Australian Youth Representative to the United Nations, and is involved in a number of projects and organisations.// Member of Whittlesea for Palestine Logan Balavijendran chats with us about the snap action on Saturday 23 March outside the office of Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs Andrew Giles. The action has been prompted by Australia's decision to cancel the visas of Palestinians escaping genocide,some of which have occurred mid air, leaving several Palestinians stranded with no where to go. Australian families have paid thousands of dollars to bring their loved ones to safety, only to be left scared and worried about where their loved ones will go now. Logan resides in Whittlesea with his Palestinian partner and sons. He has a career spanning education and IT, and is committed to community-building to hold leaders accountable.// Ashleigh Buckett, Principal Solicitor at the National Justice Project, spoke with us about the coronial inquest into the 2016 death of Faysal Ishak Ahmed, a young Sudanese refugee, while he was detained on Manus Island in Australian immigration detention. The inquest, which ran across Monday and Tuesday this week, examined Faysal's access to medical treatment over several months prior to his death, and assessed the circumstances of his delayed medical evacuation to the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, where he passed away. With the United Nations Subcommittee on the prevention of torture making the significant decision to suspend its visit to Australia in late 2022, citing obstructions to its work and a lack of co-operation, the inquest into Mr Ishak Ahmed's death may provide a rare window into the draconian operations of Australia's immigration detention regime.// The image used for this episode was taken by photographer Matt Hrkac.

In one evening, 13 gliders were detected. Numerous habitat trees with good hollows suggest that many more live here, as well as providing crucial habitat for all sorts of hollow-dependent species. In addition, many habitat trees with fire scarring near their base from 2009 (Black Saturday) were recorded. These scarred trees become more liable to collapse with each subsequent fire. Forest Fire Management Vic has just announced they are going to burn this very patch of forest within the next few days.Here are just some of the reasons that burn HR-MUR-TLG-0008 is a bad idea.We are appalled to think of the impact that this unnecessary fire will have on the resident gliders, other wildlife and flora and on the older trees that survived the last fire because of:the immediate effects of the fire and smokeloss of food supply for gliders as a result of canopy scorchcollapse of den treesthe increase in fire risk in years to come because of the pulse of shrubs that will grow after the burnWe need to listen to the research that tells us that forests need to be protected from fire until they reach maturity when they are least flammable – estimated to be about 4 years from now in Kinglake.We can suppress fire using rapid detection technology available now. Thermal and heat sensing cameras can pick up fires kilometers away if installed in towers at optimum sight distance locations. We need to ensure we have trained remote area firefighters.What can you do?We (and the gliders) would love you to ring or write to any or all of the following, citing burn HR-MUR-TLG-0008.If you ring you'll want to keep it pretty short. You'll probably just speak to someone from admin so make sure you ask that they pass on your message.If you write, you could just copy and paste points 1-3, if you don't want to write your own.

Melbourne has evolved from a struggling market to a boom one in the past 12 months and is now a national leader on growth momentum.   Almost half of the suburbs in Greater Melbourne are now classified by Hotspotting as rising markets and 87% of them have positive rankings in our Price Predictor Index.   This represents a massive transformation from the situation at the start of 2023. Our quarterly surveys show that the number of rising suburbs in Greater Melbourne has increased from 12 (9 months ago) to 58 (6 months ago) and now to 142 – with rising markets increasing from just 4% of suburbs a year ago to 47% now.   A year ago 67 suburbs in Greater Melbourne were categorised as declining markets; now there are none.   This return to a market characterised by high buyer demand is seen right across the Greater Melbourne area, with the exception of the Mornington Peninsula.   The City of Melbourne, which includes the Melbourne CBD and near-City suburbs, is thriving – but so too are Middle Melbourne precincts like the Whitehorse LGA and the Monash LGA, as well outer-ring areas such as the City of Casey in the far south-east, Wyndham in the far south-west, Melton in the far west and Whittlesea on the northern fringe of the Greater Melbourne area.   Earlier this year we identified the City of Melbourne as a national leader of an emerging trend of rising buyer demand for inner-city apartments.   This survey has confirmed the strength of this market: the 10 City of Melbourne suburbs in our analysis include nine rising markets and one recovering market.   The neighbouring City of Yarra also has busy markets.   The City of Whitehorse figures among the standout areas in the middle-ring areas. The 16 suburbs in our analysis include 10 rising suburbs, led by Box Hill; Mitcham; and Nunawading.   Other Middle Melbourne areas with strong markets include the LGAs of Banyule, Monash and Moonee Valley.   Many of the outer-ring municipalities are attracting high demand. All 15 suburbs in our City of Casey analysis have positive sales activity trends, including 10 classified as rising markets.   The City of Melton in the far west has 16 suburbs on our list and 15 of them have positive trends, including 9 rising markets.    It's a similar story with the Wyndham LGA in the south-west and the City of Whittlesea in the north of Greater Melbourne.   Overall, Melbourne markets have transitioned into 2024 with good momentum – and we expect solid price growth in many markets as the year unfolds – certainly much better than the results of 2023.

Anyone who wants to understand why we have a shortage of housing, with rising prices and in particular rising rents, should make a study of the state of Victoria.   While all states and territories have contributed to the discouragement of new home building and especially to investors who provide the bulk of the rental housing, nowhere has been more prolific and emphatic in telling investors to stay away than Victoria.   Dictator Daniel Andrews was in a class of his own when it comes to discouragement investment in housing – and, having created a mess including a state debt crisis and the international embarrassment of cancelling the Commonwealth Games, he quit in September and left it to others to sort out the debacle.   The evidence so far is that the new regime is intent on making a bad situation worse.   Columnist in The Australian James Kirby noted in an article on 7 November the series of taxation hits taken by property investors in Victoria recently.   Kirby wrote: The Victorian government kicked off the property tax changes in its budget in May, and then widened the tax net to include more investors when a vacant residential land tax was extended beyond the inner city to include the entire state. The tax will impact investors and holiday-home-owners from next January.   In recent times the Victorian government has also introduced a windfall gains tax for property developers and doubled the tax on absentee buyers from 2 per cent to 4 per cent, along with hitting the short-term rental market with a tax of 7.5 per cent on annual revenue.   Kirby quoted Irina Tan of Pitcher Partners: “It is no exaggeration to describe the proposed changes to Victoria's land tax regime as a seismic shift in the way the system currently operates, that will impact anyone who buys or sells land.”   But it is the unexpected expansion of the vacant land tax that appears to have triggered widespread frustration across the property sector.   Under the terms of the plan, all owners of a second property beyond the family home in Victoria will face a tax of $975 plus 0.1 per cent.   The tax must be paid unless the owner has lived in the property for a minimum of four weeks each year or leased the house for at least six months.   Here are some of details which have turned investors, builders and developers away from Victoria:-   Long lead-up times for new homes: Construction times for all types of homes in Victoria have blown out massively in recent years.   Victorians looking to build an apartment can expect to wait more than two years before they can actually move in, with the average time from planning approval to completion blowing out to almost 30 months - in other words, two and a half years.   Those building new townhouses will be forced wait more than 15 months before they can shift in furniture, while Victorians building freestanding houses will typically wait almost 11 months.   Denita Wawn of Master Builders Australia says the delivery of new homes has “been obstructed by the combination of labour shortages and broken supply chains, on top of planning delays, insufficient land release and red tape.   She says: “These unnecessary delays to construction ultimately drive up the cost of building.”   New vacancy tax: Holiday homes across Victoria will be hit by the state government's new vacancy tax, despite earlier assurances from the State Treasurer Tim Pallas that they are exempt.   The property industry was left reeling by the new Allan Government's surprise plans to change the Windfall Gains Tax, the Land Tax Act and the vacancy tax, revealed in October just two weeks after striking a housing partnership with the sector.   The vacancy tax currently applies only to houses in Melbourne's inner and middle-ring suburbs that have been unoccupied for more than six months, but will expand to include the whole state from January 2025.   One of the big forces behind this change is the Greens, who seem to regard real estate ownership as a criminal activity and to believe it's okay to force people to do things with their properties that they don't want to do. And they also want to rent controls.   So they want to force people to allow strangers to live in their properties and then dictate how much rent they can charge.   New tax on Airbnb properties: In September the State Government announced a new tax on property owners who use short-term letting systems like Airbnb. The tax will be 7.5% of annual revenue.   According to the Opposition, this was the 50th new or increased tax by the Labor State Government since coming to power in 2014.   Independent analysis shows Victoria is by far the highest-taxing state in the nation.   More infrastructure levies:   More developers would be slugged with a levy to help pay for local infrastructure under a plan the State Government is considering.   But the industry says the plan to worsen housing affordability, arguing more developers could be forced to pass on the costs of the Growth Areas Infrastructure Contribution to consumers at a time of high interest rates, expensive building materials and key worker shortages.   The one-off charge currently applies to developments in seven local government areas around Melbourne's fringe: Cardinia, Casey, Hume, Melton, Mitchell, Whittlesea and Wyndham.   But the State Government plans to broad the levy to include all of Melbourne or even the entire state to fund incoming housing reforms.    Growing state debt:   Why is the State Government of Victoria slugging the housing industry with new or increased taxes?   Because Victoria is drowning in debt thanks to nine years of financial mismanagement by the Daniel Andrews Government.   Victoria is sitting on debt totalling about $120 billion, making it the nation's most indebted state:   According to independent economist Saul Eslake. the increase in debt has been driven by the government's decision to “embark on very big, largely debt-funded infrastructure spending programs”.   In August, Moody's projected that Victoria's debt would reach $226 billion by 2026, endangering the state's credit rating, which is already the lowest in the country. According to Moody's, Victoria's debt will have increased by 85% in five years.   It hasn't been helped by a massive blowout in construction costs for infrastructure projects. In 2016, the North East Link was to cost $10 billion. Its price tag is now $16.5 billion.    The West Gate Tunnel ballooned from $5.5 billion to $10 billion. The Metro Tunnel's 2015 business case said it would cost $7.5 billion, but it will cost $12 billion. And the Suburban Rail Loop was to cost $50 billion. Its first stage, covering a third of the total plan, is budgeted at $34.5 billion.   Investors are selling: Analysis in August by PropTrack found that Victorian landlords evicting themselves from the state's property market – and have racked up the highest share of home sales since 2018.   PropTrack figures show about 29% of sales across the state in June were landlords getting out, while the state's biggest real estate agency has revealed the Melbourne exodus is so extreme that less than half the homes sold by investors are being replaced by new investments.   The Real Institute Of Victoria reports that one in four Melbourne rental providers have sold their properties over the past 12 months.   Quentin Kilian, the CEO of the Real Estate Institute of Victoria, said:   “Investors are fleeing and looking at other states. Each time a new tax or a new regulation is introduced it beats confidence out of one of the state's most important economic contributors,” he said. Two years ago, Melbourne's vacancy rate was 3.5%, the highest among the capital cities.   Now it's just 1.2% and falling steadily. And that means higher rents for tenants.

Val and Faith are in the studio again after having been blown there on their respective bikes by the blustery spring winds. After sharing our bike moments we take a look at some news including plans in Perth to introduce more streets with 30kph speed limits after increases of 300% in cycling participation was counted on streets with the lower limit. The volume of cars in residential streets was also lowered. Moreland Council and VicRoads are currently working to trial 30kph streets at the moment while Yarra ran a trial not too long ago. The Northern Trails Strategy 2022 builds on the 2016 strategy and is currently open for consultation. As a collaborative project between Moreland, Darebin, Banyule, Hume, Whittlesea, and Nillumbik Councils, Northern Trails 2022 aims to ensure integration of planning, advocacy and development efforts, while making recommendations for trail infrastructure, management, marketing and improvement projects. You can find detailed information about the project here as well as a survey to get your feedback in prioritising projects from a ten project short list.

Victoria has recorded nine new cases of coronavirus — but with six already reported yesterday, there's hope the state could be getting its outbreak under control.Health authorities yesterday said six positive cases had been detected after its midnight reporting period meaning Victoria technically only recorded three new cases today.Victorian Health Minister Martin Foley said two of the cases were primary close contacts, who were already quarantining during their infectious period.The final case is still under investigation.“They are not a contact and are not are directly linked to any exposure site but there is very close proximity to other exposure sites and we are confident the investigation ongoing will uncover further crossover,” he said.Mr Foley said health authorities were still assessing the state's coronavirus outbreak on a “day to day basis”.“There continues to be significant concerns around ongoing transmission and particularly our northern suburbs and many large exposure sites that have been added to the exposure site list over the last 36 hours,” he said.“Our public health team are currently weighing whether there is still coronavirus circulating in these communities and we will still consider our response to the current outbreak on a day by day basis.”There are 28 cases linked to the City of Whittlesea, in Melbourne's north.State's latest outbreak ‘fastest moving in Australia'Victoria's testing commander Jeroen Weimar has explained exactly how the state was hit by its most recent coronavirus outbreak and admitted it was likely the “fastest moving” ever to hit Australia.“This is the biggest outbreak ... this year. It is one of the most, certainly the fastest moving outbreak we've seen anywhere in Australia. For a long time,” he said.“ I'm not taking this lightly. I am confident that we are doing everything we possibly can to get on top of this and I'm confident that all of us as Victorians are out there willing this thing to be over and willing us all to get on top of it and by behaving in the right way.“As we saw yesterday, we are only one positive test result away from having to go down another rabbit hole. So there is more work to do.”The state's outbreak started when a Victorian, who completed two weeks of hotel quarantine in South Australia, inadvertantly caught it as he was leaving the state.The man left hotel quarantine on May 4 and boarded a plane on the same day to fly home to Melbourne.“He went to work on the fifth (of May) and the sixth, at Datapoint Melbourne, and that over the subsequent few days he went into the city, he had a curry, he visited a number of grocery stores,” Mr Weimar said.“We identified at the time over 120 primary close contacts across those exposures ... all of those locations have been fully exhausted, he returned no positive primary close contacts throughout his exposure period, but all of those individuals completed their 14 day period as appropriate.“We are absolutely clear that there is a missing link between this individual and the subsequent outbreak that we have seen at Whittlesea and Port of Melbourne.”Mr Weimar said the state was dealing with an outbreak that was “quite different” to others it had seen before.“We are concerned about evidence ... where we have seen transmission in places with very fleeting contact,” he said.We are used to, with previous variants, transmission occurring in the home, in the workplace, where people know each other already, not all of those big social settings. These are quite different.”Victorian opposition insist lockdown will last ‘a lot longer' than seven daysDespite the small number, the state's mystery cases, surging infections and a rapidly growing list of exposure sites have heightened fears Victoria's “circuit breaker” seven-day lockdown could be extended.Victoria's lockdown is due to end at 11.59pm on Thursday, seven days after the government ordered its state to stay at home.The state recorded 11 new C...

随着墨尔本Whittlesea感染集群的病例数从15例上升到26例。维州政府宣布，从周五（5月28日）凌晨起，维州进入为期7天的封锁，同时疫苗接种计划也有变动。与此同时专家带来详解，为什么有的人接种阿斯利康疫苗会引发罕见血栓。

Victoria has been plunged into its fourth lockdown in 12 months, with the government announcing on Thursday Victorians will need to abide by strict stage-three restrictions.Four cases first cropped up in Melbourne’s outer north on Monday, but by Thursday that number soared to 26 after a dozen new infections emerged in the past 24 hours.Health authorities are racing to contain the outbreak as the Whittlesea cluster exposure sites across Melbourne and regional Victoria balloon beyond 80.From 11.59pm on Thursday Victorians can only leave home for five reasons:Shopping for necessary goods and servicesAuthorised work or permitted educationExercise – a 2-hour limit with one other personCare giving, compassionate, and medical reasonsTo get vaccinatedActing Premier James Merlino provided details about what would remain open and what would be forced to close.Shopping and exercise can only be done within 5km of your home (unless your nearest shops are further away).Masks must now be worn outdoors as well as indoors.No visitors allowed to your home other than an intimate partner (single bubbles will be permitted – if you live alone you can make a bubble with another person).Public gatherings are not allowed.Restaurants, pubs and cafes can provide takeaway only.Supermarkets, food stores, petrol stations, banks, bottle shops and pharmacies will remain open (other retail stores can only provide click and collect).Childcare and kinders will be open.Approved professional sporting events will proceed but without crowds.Schools will move to remote learning (except for vulnerable children and children of authorised workers).Higher education will move to remote learning only.Hotels, clubs, TABs and the casino will be closed.Maximum of 10 people at a funeral (plus those running the service).Weddings cannot proceed unless in end of life or deportation reasons apply.Religious activities will not proceed other than through broadcast with a maximum of five people.HEALTHCARE SETTINGS:No visitors in aged care facilities (except for limited reasons)In hospitals, visitors only for end of life cases, to support a partner during birth, or a parent accompanying a child.Acting Premier James Merlino says the seven-day circuit breaker served as a reminder for people eligible to get the Covid-19 vaccine, to come forward. Picture: NCA NewsWire / David GeraghtySource:News Corp AustraliaMr Merlino said the seven-day circuit breaker served as a reminder for people eligible to get the Covid-19 vaccine to come forward.“The reason why we are dealing with this outbreak today is because of a hotel breach in South Australia, that is not a criticism, it is just a fact,” he told reporters on Thursday morning.“The only way through this pandemic is everyone getting vaccinated as quickly as you are eligible.”  

維州墨爾本北部 Whittlesea 市政府區域的新冠病毒群組感染增加至 26 人染病。

I casi collegati al focolaio di Whittlesea sono saliti a 15, ma bisognerà attendere ancora almeno due giorni prima di avere un quadro chiaro della situazione.

A raft of new restrictions will be introduced across Melbourne tonight as Victoria's new COVID-19 cluster continues to grow.Another new case of COVID-19 was detected in Melbourne overnight, bringing the total number of infections in the cluster to five.The new case is a man in his 60s and was been identified as a close contact of one of the previous cases.It comes after Victorian officials announced on Monday that four people in Whittlesea had tested positive to coronavirus, including a man in his 30s, a man in his 70s, a woman in her 70s and a preschool-aged child.The group has been confirmed as having the Indian variant of the virus.As a result a raft of new restrictions will be introduced across Melbourne from 6pm tonight, including:Limiting private household gatherings to five people per dayLimiting public gatherings to 30 peopleMasks will be required indoors for everyone aged 12 and over unless an exemption appliesAuthorities expect the restrictions to be in place until at least June 4 but they will be reviewed throughout this period.Victoria's Acting Premier James Merlino said Victorians who live in Greater Melbourne will still be able to travel to regional parts of the state but must continue to follow the restrictions wherever they visit.“For example, if you visit someone outside metropolitan Melbourne, they must have not more than five visitors at that house in that day,” he said.“Victorians visiting regional Victoria from Melbourne will also need to wear a face mask when indoors, even when outside metropolitan Melbourne, unless an exemption applies.”Mr Merlino said the restrictions are being brought in based on public health advice and will allow contact tracers time to “get on top” of the outbreak.Genomic testing has found the new infections are “closely linked” to a case from a few weeks ago that originated in South Australia.Earlier in the month a man tested positive to the virus after becoming infected while undergoing hotel quarantine in South Australia and then flying into Melbourne and returning to his home in Wollert.Health authorities believe there could be a “missing link” between this case and the new cluster, though so far none of the new cases have been found to be linked to any exposure sites from the Wollert case.Victoria was due to further ease restrictions around density limits for venues on May 28 but those will be paused in light of the new cluster.‘Chains of transmission' emergingChief health officer Professor Brett Sutton said there are “chains of transmission” playing out with these five new COVID-19 cases.However, he warned there was “clearly someone who was not identified” through recent contact tracing interviews, possibly because they were a casual contact.“That is why I flagged public transport is a risk if you are on a pact carried you do not know who you stand next to and you may be next to an infectious person,” he said.“I ask everyone to go back to those exposure sites on the website and, indeed, if they are going out for any gatherings, within limits from today and with 6pm restrictions in mind, go back to those exposure sites. If you have been to one of them, you should not go anywhere you should be tested.”Professor Sutton said the fifth case in the cluster “might be the missing link” authorities have been looking for as the interview process is still ongoing.“His initial recollections do not overlap with any of the wallet exposure sites, so there is no definitive link to that wallet sites even though we know there is a genomic link,” he said.It follows the revelation that one of the cases announced yesterday was “likely quite infectious”.Professor Brett Sutton warned Melbourne residents on Monday “we have to ready ourselves” in case more positive cases are detected within the community.“The viral load was high and with close contacts becoming positive, he is likely to be quite infectious,” Professor Sutton said.“There (was) not a huge number of...

Više od šest mjeseci nakon što se u središnjem dnevniku SBS-a po prvi puta izvještavalo o nizu samoubojstava među ženama iz Južne Azije u jednom području Melbournea, pokrenuta je inicijativa kojoj je cilj otklanjanje ključnih problema s kojima se suočavaju migranti.Na području Whittlesea, općine na krajnjem sjeveru Melbournea, u posljednje su dvije godine zabilježili najmanje šest smrti žena za koje se vjeruje da je riječ o samoubjstvima koja imaju uznemirujuće sličnosti.
