WA government announces redress scheme for Stolen Generations

1 week ago | abc.net.au | Sinead Mangan |Alex Hyman

On today's program: Survivors of the Stolen Generations in Western Australia will be compensated through a state government redress scheme offering payments of up to $85,000 each. It brings WA in line with nearly every other Australian state and territory, and Premier Roger Cook acknowledged it could not "correct what has happened". Stolen Generations survivor and Wardandi and Bibbulmun traditional custodian Anthony Hansen said the announcement was a long time coming.

Every contest is crucial across the country as Anthony Albanese and Peter Dutton face off in the federal election, and in regional Australia there are five seats that could play a hand in the overall result. Uniting them all are the key issues on voters' minds, including cost of living, childcare deserts and renewable energy. Here are the five regional seats to watch, starting in Western Australia.
Tough race ahead in brand-new seat of Bullwinkel

1 month ago | abc.net.au | Sinead Mangan |Alex Hyman |Grant Wolter |Eliza Bidstrup

The electorate of Bullwinkel was created in response to the rapidly growing population of Perth, mashing together historic farming areas, urban fringe and outer suburbia. It's an electorate of strange bedfellows, and hot button issues like the phasing out of live export and Save the Perth Hills are polarising voters on the rural and urban fringe. The three-way contest between Labor, Liberal and The Nationals is a fight between the urban and rural agenda.
The battle for Bullwinkel

The new Western Australian electorate of Bullwinkle, just east of Perth, is shaping up to be a fight between the urban and rural agenda. The electorate was created by piecing together historic farming towns with semi-rural areas and the urban fringe.
Food scientist harnesses bountiful element in clear tropical waters for remote island sourdough

Jun 16, 2024 | abc.net.au | Sinead Mangan |Alex Hyman

The smell of sourdough bread baking in the oven is one of the first things you can smell when you arrive at the airport in the Cocos (Keeling) Islands — Australia's most remote territory. The bread is so good that people order ahead and stock up on the crusty loaves on their way to Christmas Island, almost 1,000 kilometres away. The sourdough is the brainchild of long-term Cocos resident Tony Lacy.

Princess Catherine's cancer confessional is a reminder that the C-word is a scary place - and telling people isn't easy

Mar 25, 2024 | abc.net.au | Sinead Mangan

The Princess of Wales's pre-recorded cancer confessional stopped me in my tracks. A surprise cancer diagnosis is bad enough, I thought, let alone dealing with a media pile on. The thing is, I too am a fit, healthy mother in my 40s, recently diagnosed out of the blue with cancer. It has been the wildest few weeks of my life.
Colonial mansion on Cocos Islands, believed by locals to be haunted, finds a new life as a spiritual retreat

Jan 13, 2024 | abc.net.au | Sinead Mangan

"Steeped in history and controversy, this infamous mansion is a rare piece of real estate on the tiny Australian outpost of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands — and it could be yours." So reads the online ad for the sale of Oceania House on Home Island, one of two inhabited islands of the coral atoll. The tidbit that's missing in the write-up for the sale is that locals believe the mansion is haunted. And visiting after dark on a clear-lit night, you would believe them.
We swim with sharks more than we realise but no need to cue the Jaws theme, say global experts

Dec 25, 2023 | abc.net.au | Sinead Mangan

There is very little that gets between me and a long ocean swim, except perhaps a shark. Open water swimmers are a hardy bunch, swimming year-round in all conditions, but when the shark alarm goes off we tend to respond quick sticks. And that’s exactly what happened recently when a group of keen swimmers met at a beach at 6 o'clock in the morning as the sun came over the horizon.
