The state election result is one of the most emphatic in South Australian history. After just one term, the Marshall Liberal Government has been swept aside by the Peter Malinauskas-led Labor party. How can the Liberals regroup after losing swathes of their heartland - and what can we expect from the new regime?

What the Hell Just Happened?!

Trudy Lin is a dentist but also an activist – and her primary measure of success is ensuring everyone has the capacity to eat, speak and smile.

Trudy is one of only a handful of special needs dentists in Australia but she says the need in this underfunded area is huge.

She makes a compelling case for oral health care as a human rights issue – as she puts it, she wants to create a world where a smile is no longer a barrier to feeling accepted, finding a job, and living to your full potential.

For the 2022 Young South Australian of the Year, her professional passion comes from a very personal place.

She joins us today.

The Right to Smile

In 1946, sharp-eyed geologist Reg Sprigg noticed some strange patterns in the rocks of the Flinders Ranges. What he had discovered was a groundbreaking a fossil record of complex creatures dating back 550 million years.

The Ediacara fossils were – and remain – the earliest record of complex multi-cellular animals on the planet.

While the site is world famous with scientists, many South Australians are unaware of its existence, despite a campaign to have Flinders Ranges world heritage-listed.

That could be about to change, with materials about the fossils and their significance being introduced to the Year 8 curriculum for the first time next year. And now – for anyone who is interested – you can do a virtual dive into those shallow, warm ancient sees to swim with the Eediacaran creatures.

On the podcast this week, David Washington is joined by InDaily senior journalist Belinda Willis, and  University of South Australia geology professor Tom Raimondo who has led the project to bring these fossils to virtual life.

The Cradle of Life

Last weekend was a historic coming together of two key moments in women’s sport. The AFLW premiership was decided, with Melbourne winning its first premiership, and the Adelaide Strikers won its first title in cricket’s WBBL.

It was a weekend of high-profile, nationally televised sport that wouldn’t have seemed likely just a few decades ago, with both sporting codes once entrenched in the nation’s mind as the pinnacle of Australian masculinity.

But women have played both sports for decades – despite little support in the past from governing bodies or the media.

That has changed – seemingly in the blink of an eye.

On the podcast this week, David Washington is joined by Liz Walsh, a journalist who has charted the rise of elite women’s cricket and football to discuss how far we’ve come – and where to next.
