#203: NSW Treasurer Daniel Mookhey's life Story, Political Beginnings & the latest Budget

Hi guys, there is a GoFundMe for the woman injured in the attack, to help with her recovery and ongoing expenses. If you're able to, please consider donating: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-leah-stewart-victim-of-shark-attack-in-coogee

Less than a fortnight after rescuing a woman during the great white shark attack at Coogee Beach, Charlie Verco joins us to reflect on what happened. Charlie shares what he saw, the decisions he made under immense pressure, and why years of surf lifesaving training prepared him for this terrifying moment.

We spoke about:
The moment Charlie realised the shark alarm was real
What happened when the great white surfaced just metres away
How he brought Leah safely back to shore on a racing paddleboard
Why managing fear, rather than being fearless, made all the difference
How surf lifesaving and Nippers shaped his response
His views on shark safety, drone surveillance and Australia's approach to managing risk
His message to Leah, whom he has not yet had the chance to speak with

Shark Attack Hero Shares the Story of the Terrifying Coogee Rescue

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/2baad88d-495b-462e-8380-b47400934126/transcript

Alan Kohler has spent more than 50 years at the centre of Australian financial journalism — and few people alive have watched this country's booms, busts, and policy shifts with more clarity.

In this conversation, Mark and Alan trace the arc of Australian capitalism from the Poseidon nickel boom of 1969 through to the rise of Elon Musk and the AI era. Alan draws striking parallels between the charismatic deal-makers of the 1980s — Bond, Elliott, Skase — and the story-sellers of today, and explains why irrational exuberance always takes longer to unravel than anyone expects. He also gives a frank assessment of what Australian housing policy has got wrong, why superannuation remains the country's greatest economic achievement, and what capital gains tax reform should actually look like.

We speak about:

• The Poseidon nickel boom and what it taught a 17-year-old copy boy about markets 
• Why every major financial boom has a charismatic figure selling an irresistible story 
• Elon Musk, SpaceX, and whether a loss-making $2 trillion company makes any sense 
• How Basel banking rules quietly turned Australian banks into mortgage lenders 
• The 1999 capital gains tax change that accidentally supercharged the housing market 
• Paul Keating, superannuation, and the policy Alan considers Australia's greatest achievement 
• Lang Hancock, iron ore, and what real Australian entrepreneurialism looks like

Alan Kohler: "This Is Who Controls the Economy", Elon Musk & the Signals of an Economic Crisis

Liam Paro is an Australia's leading professional boxer who is fighting for the IBF Welterweight World Title on June 24, and he's never been more ready.

Exclusive to Main Event on Kayo Sports – next Wednesday on the 24th!

Purchase the PPV here: https://kayosports.com.au/en-AU/welcome/ppv/paro-v-crocker?extcamp=parovcrockerorgsoc-soc-kyo-lnk-kayo-acq-mma-straighttalk&channel=straighttalk&campaign=parovcrocker

The North Queensland kid who once slept in his car to chase his dream reveals what it really takes to become a world champion.

Liam opens up about what an 11-kilogram weight cut actually does to your body, why moving up to welterweight may be the best decision of his career, and the brutal mental battle that takes place between the ropes that most fans never see.

He also shares the heartbreaking story of losing his best mate in 2015, the promise he made as a 13-year-old sitting on his mum's kitchen bench, and why his late friend's initials have been stitched onto his trunks for every fight since.

We also discuss:
How sparring with Jeff Horn's camp before the Manny Pacquiao fight changed everything.
The southpaw footwork battle most fans never notice.
Why fitness wins fights at the elite level.
What your corner is really saying between rounds when your back is against the wall.
What's waiting for him on the other side of June 24.
