Young Australians are returning to faith at rates nobody predicted. Archbishop Peter A. Comensoli tells Lindsay Sant, Caroline Knight, and Lino Saubolle what's behind it, and what St Patrick's Cathedral has to do with it. The post The Tide Is Turning: Archbishop Comensoli on Melbourne’s Catholic Surge appeared first on StarQuest Media.

Dr Daniel Nour considers himself an accidental change maker, but he is also a pretty prodigious one. A doctor, inspired by the health care that helped his brother as a child, it was an experience offering emergency medical care to a homeless man in London during his medical studies that left him unable to ignore the gaps in the healthcare system, especially for marginalised communities.In response in Australia he created Street Side Medics, a mobile general practice unit that meets and provides medical care to people that are homeless in the places where they are at - at food venues. It started in Sydney and has spread across Australia. His work led him to be recognised as 2022 Young Australian of the Year.Here he talks about that journey and what he learnt creating something from nothing. He explores the art of founding an organisation, the limits of planning and the importance of mentors and vision.For more on Street Side Medics: https://www.streetsidemedics.com.au/For more on ChangeMakers check us out:Via our Website - https://changemakerspodcast.org (where you can also sign up to our email list!)Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChangeMakersPodcast/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changemakerspodcast/Threads: https://www.threads.com/@changemakerspodcastBlue Sky: https://www.threads.com/@amandatattersall.bsky.socialFor more on the books and Amanda's writing, have a look at:Amanda's website - https://amandatattersall.com/ Conscious Tribes: thinking differently about making a difference - here and via Hardie GrantPeople Power in Cities - here and via Oxford Uni PressOn Substack - https://substack.com/@amandatattersallOn Medium - https://amandatatts.medium.com/And - her much earlier book about coalition building - Power in Coalition and via Cornell Uni PressAmanda is on Socials here:On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amandatattersall/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/amanda.tattersallBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/amandatattersall.bsky.socialThreads: https://www.threads.com/@amandatattersallTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@amanda.tattersallAmanda's website - https://amandatattersall.com/ Hosted on Acast.

Another lesson for our Labour Party if they want to ponder it. Australia's Labor have blown their Budget. It's hard to overstate the anger and pushback on their tax changes made now well over a week ago. Budgets and their news cycle tend to come and go. This was different. It was billed as generational. It was seen as transformational and it was seen as Albanese having to spend a decent chunk of political capital, given his tax treatment was based on a lie. He said in the election campaign of last year that he would not touch tax. 12 months on, he went back on his word. The twist being the blowback came, and it hasn't stopped coming, and somewhere in the past few days the concern, followed fairly quickly by panic, started to set in at Government level. The anger has not been driven by rich, white, old coalition blokes whose myriad of investments would end up being taxed more. It's been driven by young Australians who buy shares to save for retirement. Young Australians who start businesses to set up a decent life for themselves and their families. People the Labor Government never saw coming. What it shows, and it's an encouraging sign and one I suspect is as relevant here as it is there, is that a decent chunk of our population are not the moaners you hear on the news. They're not the NGO's bleating about their lot. They're not the success haters that dominate the news cycle. Rather, they're middle-of-the-road Kiwis and Australians who are quite keen on working hard and getting ahead in life. All they have ever asked for is, to use the vernacular, is "a fair suck of the sav". You don't tax success and that's what Albanese has had a crack at. Why take a risk in starting a business if all there is at the end of it is Jim Chalmers and his tax department looking to extract ever larger amounts of your hard earned? That's what Labour wants to do here. It's always about more tax. It's never about more success, or larger growth, or bigger pie. Got an issue? Short of dough? Tax someone. Well, middle Australia isn't interested and they have been out in force showing it. Maybe Albanese knew that. Maybe that's why he lied to get into power so he could do what he's done. If that's true then Hipkins is in real trouble, because he hasn't lied. He's told you it's coming. And if we are like Australia, it's not going to go down well.

The reaction to the government's changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax has initially focused on the housing sector.But some young investors are concerned they'll miss out on the perks that made older Australians rich with the changes applying to all investments.So will younger Australians be better off with the measures announced in the federal budget?

The federal budget has dropped… and Australians have opinions. So Victoria sat down with Australia’s Treasurer, Jim Chalmers, immediately after the budget announcement to ask the questions everyone actually wants answered. From negative gearing and capital gains tax changes to the cost of living crisis, fuel prices, housing affordability, tax cuts and why blueberries suddenly cost what feels like a small mortgage repayment. They also get into the political backlash surrounding the budget, why the government changed its position on housing tax reform, whether Canberra is disconnected from how tough things feel financially right now, and what Treasurer Chalmers says Australians fundamentally misunderstand about the federal budget. There’s also unexpected chat about ChatGPT, air fryers, pocket money, coffee machines, influencers, and what it actually feels like to hand down a budget while the internet calls you “The Jim Reaper.” If you’ve been trying to make sense of what just happened in Canberra, this is the budget breakdown you actually want to hear.

It's the start of a new term. Some of your staff may be walking back into school running on empty, not because they don't care, but because they've lost sight of why it matters.What educators actually need to feel purposeful again isn't another wellbeing afternoon or a gratitude wall. According to this week's guest, it's a reconnection to vision, and that's something a school can teach, build and sustain.In this episode of Well-Led Schools, I'm joined by Glen Gerreyn, speaker, author, youth advocate and founder of The Hopeful Institute. His work, spanning two decades and hundreds of schools globally, is grounded in one powerful idea: hope is not a passive feeling. It's a skill. It's a strategy. And it can be taught.In this episode:Glen's personal origin story: from elite athlete to disability pension to Young Australian of the YearThe three components of Hope Theory: goals, pathways, and agencyWhy disengagement is often a vision crisis, not a behaviour problemThe Hopeful Schools Framework and how it works in practiceWhy purpose and meaning matter as much as curriculum in educationWhat leaders can do to build hope into school culture systemicallyAbout Glen Gerreyn:Glen Gerreyn is a speaker, author and youth advocate who has dedicated his career to building hope in young people and the educators who work with them. After overcoming a serious a chronic illness that ended his career as a state champion sprinter, heGlen rebuilt his life through purpose, resilience and connection to meaning, and was named Young Australian of the Year in 1998.He is the founder of The Hopeful Institute and has worked with more than 300 schools across Australia and worldwide. His work draws on Charles Snyder's Hope Theory and translates it into practical frameworks that schools can embed into their culture.

For years, we've treated housing affordability as a demand problem — interest rates, borrowing power, incentives. But what if the real issue sits deeper in the system?In this episode, we unpack the structural forces shaping Australia's housing market, from planning constraints to policy decisions that have quietly restricted supply for decades.Joined by planning reform advocate Melissa Neighbor and economist Emilie Dye, we explore the structural issues baked into Australia's housing system — from restrictive zoning laws and slow approval processes to the political incentives that favour existing homeowners. We also dive into the concept of “gentle density,” why three-storey townhouses could be a missing middle solution, and how cities like Auckland have used upzoning to stabilise housing pressures without crashing the market.But this isn't just a supply story. We challenge the idea of housing as an investment vehicle versus a place to live, unpack intergenerational inequality, and examine why forcing people into renting can actually make them worse off. The conversation also tackles the uncomfortable reality: increasing supply may solve affordability — but not without trade-offs, including financial outcomes for buyers and resistance from existing communities.This episode cuts through the noise with a clear-eyed look at what needs to change — and what most people are still getting wrong about housing in Australia. If you care about affordability, investing, or the future of our cities, this is one you can't afford to ignore.Episode Highlights01:07 — Meet the Guests: Planning & Economics Perspectives01:56 — What Does a Fair Housing System Look Like?04:23 — Planning Restrictions and the Supply Bottleneck06:40 — Why Reforms Are Facing Community Resistance11:43 — Upzoning, Windfalls, and Affordability Trade-Offs13:43 — Why Only Luxury Projects Are Getting Built17:14 — Winning Public Support for Housing Reform20:50 — Balancing Emotional Costs and Infrastructure Strain23:41 — Why Sydney Must Embrace More Density24:38 — Global Cities and Lessons for Housing Reform26:55 — What's Actually Being Built Across NSW27:42 — The Reality of Upzoning in Established Suburbs28:05 — Backlash, Compromise, and Policy Missteps29:30 — How the Housing Crisis Forced Policy Change30:23 — Should Housing Be an Investment or a Home?47:19 — Final Thoughts and Listener Q'sAbout the GuestsMelissa Neighbor is a town planner, community engagement expert, and co-founder of Sydney YIMBY, a movement advocating for increased housing supply and planning reform across New South Wales.

Adam and Shanai share how seeing Graeme on stage became the catalyst for completely restructuring their financial life. Previously overwhelmed by money stress, scattered bank accounts, and underperforming investments, they realised their strategy lacked clarity and cohesion. By consolidating accounts, selling ineffective properties, and adopting a structured financial framework, they significantly reduced weekly expenses and positioned themselves for long term growth. That reset allowed them to expand confidently,growing their portfolio to nine properties with a clearer, more strategic direction.Beyond the numbers, their story is deeply personal. Afterexperiencing family tragedy and loss, they recognised the importance of community, open communication, and shared purpose within a relationship. They now actively contribute to events, supporting others who may be facing financial or emotional hardship. Adam and Shanai's journey highlights how financial structure, resilience, and mutual support can not only build wealth but also create meaningful impact within family and community.To watch their earlier episode, click below: https://youtu.be/GVsJbTyvBO0?si=K_OKtDZ9t5RDCrHZExcited to change your future?

Young Australians are priced out — but the real story is far more empowering. They're not stepping back from the market; they're stepping in with strategy, curiosity, and better tools than ever. From rentvesting to financial education on TikTok, buyers today are finding new ways to enter the market on their own terms. Today's first home buyers are strategic, curious, and using platforms like TikTok to learn about rentvesting, borrowing, and smart property decisions.In this episode, Meighan and Veronica chat with Ray White economists Nerida Conisbee and Atom Go Tian about their research into what first home buyers are actually doing. From trending TikTok finance topics to the rise of rentvesting and the impact of the 5% deposit scheme, the data shows buyers are taking action — not giving up.We break down why younger buyers trust social media over traditional media, how financial literacy is growing fast, and why many are choosing strategy over “dream homes.”Episode Highlights00:00 — Introduction: First Home Buyers Are Getting Smarter00:23 — Meet the Hosts and Their Mission01:04 —Debunking the Media Narrative01:39 — Strategies of Modern First Home Buyers02:27 — The Role of Social Media in Property Education03:32 — Rentvesting: A Popular Strategy04:23 — Challenges and Misconceptions07:19 — Engagement Patterns on TikTok09:46 — Financial Literacy and Social Media22:12 — The Importance of Location-Specific Research31:03 — Advice for First Home Buyers32:57 — Conclusion and Final ThoughtsCourse Details:THE First Home Buyer Course is our Step-By-Step, No BS Guide to Every Stage of The Home Buying Process – It's the next best thing to having your own buyer's agent.

A new report commissioned by KIND Collective on the occasion of World Kindness Day (13 November) reveals a major shift in Australian youth values, with 37% of young people ranking kindness above material success. Mental health experts Neerja Shankar and Aadhyaa Udawat say the trend reflects rising anxiety, digital overload, and a growing desire for authentic connection. Young Australians also shared how they define kindness and the challenges of keeping it alive in an increasingly social-media-driven world.

This week, stories of democracy, dreams, and things happening in and out of the ballot box. Elections Elsewhere by Phoebe Adler-Ryan Have you ever wondered how elections operate in other corners around the world? In our first story, ATB takes you on a ‘election tour’ of different countries as our volunteers - from China, Vietnam, some with connections to the US - gather to talk about what voting is like in their country. Can you vote in your country? What does voting mean to you? Featuring Lindsey Vassalo, Patrick McKenzie, Ray Vo and Sue. Counting the Vote by Grace Gooda Next story brings you into the Australian ballot box. In this story, we step inside election day through the eyes of an AEC worker - where impartiality, integrity, and counting replace the usual political buzz. From securing ballot bins to missing out on the ‘democracy sausage’, it’s a behind-the-scenes look at the quiet work that keeps Australia's democracy ticking. Welcome to a day in the life of a ballot counter. That story was produced by Grace Gooda in partnership with the Centre for Advancing Journalism and The Yarn from Melbourne University. Young Yarners by Micah Kickett Our third story explores the Young Yarners Program, a new initiative tackling voter disengagement in First Nations communities. From Parliament House workshops to local projects back home, young leaders from the program are building knowledge, breaking down barriers, and making sure Indigenous voices are heard loud and clear at the ballot box. That story was produced by Micah Kickett for The Wire. Young Matters by Ruby Perryman In this story, we hear from a young voter navigating life on Centrelink, housing insecurity, and the growing feeling that dreams like home ownership are slipping away. As the election approaches, it's not grand promises that shape her vote - it’s the urgent need for real support in an anxious, uncertain future. That story was produced by Ruby Perryman in partnership with the Centre for Advancing Journalism and The Yarn, from Melbourne University. Hope for the future by Catarina Fraga Matos and Kwame Slusher Confusion, curiosity, excitement to frustration. Young Australians paint a vivid palette of emotions as they face their first vote. Whether it’s dreaming of climate action, fairness, or just finally being heard, these young Australian voters have big hopes, even if the path to the ballot box is still a little messy. Hear them out.

It's a question that echoes through conversations among frustrated Australians, especially younger generations who find themselves priced out of the housing market: Is this all a Ponzi scheme? The surge in property prices has not only locked out many potential first-time home buyers but has also sparked a fiery debate about the sustainability and ethics of our housing economy, likening our housing markets to a speculative Ponzi scheme. Is this really true? That's what Brett Warren and I discuss in this episode of The Michael Yardney Podcast. Takeaways The housing market is often misunderstood by younger generations. Owner-occupiers make up a significant portion of the market. Ponzi schemes involve fraudulent investment practices, unlike the housing market. Speculation can lead to market instability, but owner-occupiers provide stability to our hosuing markets. Understanding market fundamentals is essential for successful investing. The current market is not in a bubble, but cyclical fluctuations exist. Investing should be approached with a long-term perspective. Having a strategic plan is vital for navigating the property market. Demographics play a key role in shaping market trends.

Travel could be more than just an asset for your mind and soul — it could also be a key to a longer, healthier life.

After weeks of media scrutiny that has painted Anthony Albanese as tone-deaf and out of touch with Australians struggling with financial distress, the Prime Minister launched a compelling pitch over the weekend. Should Labor win the next election, Albanese would slash student debts in a $16 billion dollar proposal. Young Australians are in desperate need of help. Student poverty - and hunger - has become so dire, that Western Sydney University has had to establish a food pantry. Today, Western Sydney University vice chancellor Professor George Williams, and federal political correspondent, Paul Sakkal, on whether the prime minister's proposed reform would fix what many say is a broken student loan system. And if Labor is using student debt relief to buy the youth vote.Subscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In March 1941, 40,000 Australian and New Zealand troops were rushed to Greece in a desperate attempt to support the Greeks against the looming threat of a German attack. Although the operation was ultimately doomed to fail, the Aussies and Kiwis managed to hold up the German advance long enough to evacuate thousands to Crete, where Hitler then set his sights. Joining me today is Craig Collie, author of ‘Where the Flaming Hell Are We? The Story of Young Australians and New Zealanders Fighting the Nazis in Greece and Crete'. We'll be delving into these often-overlooked, disastrous operations in the Mediterranean. I want to extend a big thank you to David Phillipson from the History Guild, who suggested our guest today and connected me with Craig. The History Guild has a project focusing on Australians in the Mediterranean theatre during WWII. For more articles and posts on this topic, visit historyguild.org.   Patreonpatreon.com/ww2podcast
