Full Show - Sunday 21st August

On the show today: Olympia is back and covering the day's headlines.

Gardening sees Arno King and Olympia get stuck into your questions straight away! Arno provides tips on promoting new growth in a Jacaranda tree, if Seasol applied by watering can is safe for potted plants, how to deal with spiders on roses, looking after native Citrus Finger Limes, black spots on Orchids, and if Dolomite counteracts wet ground. PLUS Arno shares an upcoming workshop he’s doing next Saturday as well as other gardening events around our city.

In the second hour; Olympia recaps today's big story that Steven Miles has pledged $1.4 billion over 4 years to provide free lunches to all Queensland Primary Schools if Labor are re-elected. We hear your feedback on this issue, and speak with YMCA QLD CEO Damian Foley who shares the benefits of free school lunches for children’s concentration and development..
Speaking of the election, Olympia chats with the chair of the Brisbane Flight Path Community Alliance, Marcus Foth. With the campaigning heating up, the alliance has released a scorecard outlining how the major parties stack up on issues that are important to them - and it’s looking turbulent for two of them.
We also hear from CEO and Chairman of Consolidated Properties Group, Don O’Rourke, who tells us about their latest Monarch Residences, the appeal of riverfront living, and what makes these penthouses truly special for discerning buyers.
