Nurses and midwives working on the NSW borders, including in the Tweed and Byron areas, say the state is losing workers to better pay in QLD.

We hear from Byron Bay union branch president Liz McCall as members take more action to protest for more.

The NSW EPA has introduced new rules around what can and can’t go into green bins but it seems the message hasn’t cut through, we get the facts from the horse’s mouth.

The legendary environmentalist, Captain Paul Watson, has been detained in Greenland and is facing extradition to Japan to face charges, we find out from one of his key representatives in Australia what led to the dramatic situation.

Closer to home, advocates for an end to domestic violence are organising more rallies but Greens federal candidate for Richmond Mandy Nolan says ‘no more’.

And in an exciting first for Bay FM, next week the station’s president will announce the inaugural winners of the BaySounds songwriting competition alongside partners SAE.

President and Northern Rivers Music Box host Ange Kent joins us in the studio to explain the inspiration and process behind BaySounds.
