Yeah.

Now, if we think through the way that those cost structures look in that world of growing demand, so the first one is the generation, and generation is largely, you know, kind of, there are, there are a couple of key things that drive that, which is, well, how much does it cost to build stuff? Then how much does it cost to run stuff? And once you know what those parameters are, you can kind of say what that cost looks like.

So solar, cheap as chips.

Wind, it's probably more expensive than it once was, but that's, you know, kind of there's a whole bunch of, again, a bit like the gas turbine story, like there's some constraints there about how quickly you can get things done.

But what people don't realize is that the prices we had in our market 20 or 25 years ago were largely a result of very low-cost coal and gas because the boom that had happened in commodity markets hadn't happened yet.

So we all remember in the 2000s, you know, the, the huge growth in, in China and India drove a big demand for commodities.

And so coal prices and gas prices are at least a couple of times higher than what they were 20 years ago.

Or, yeah, just, just h-how could this go wrong?

I bet you're exhausted, but you must be relieved.

Thanks Peter, it's great to be here.

Yeah, it's equal parts relief and pride.

I think we're very relieved that the government has made the right decision here.

25,000 veterans, of our most vulnerable veterans that is, had a barrier that was potentially going to block their access to ongoing health care that they so desperately need.

But I'm proud as well.

I'm extremely proud that the community came together, the veteran community.

Now, do you share the view of Jackie Lammy or are you with the coalition who still want him sacked?

Where did you get the idea?

So we had a local artist do it up.

Uh, he does a lot of metalwork, Shane Seave.

So yeah, we just wanted to create some attraction, draw some people out.

Tim, what's the number in Sylvan Lake?

Okay, so we weren't sure how it was being measured.

Um, we were going off the, what Google had said the measurement was.

That was about twenty feet for Bow Island.

So if you could have the prime minister's ear, uh, what would you say to the prime minister? Does he need to go? Does the prime minister need to sack him if he won't resign?

100%.

100%.

So, um, it...

Nobody has confidence in his abilities.

There's systemic changes within the Department of Veteran Affairs.

Progressively, things are deteriorating.

Has that been scheduled?

How much of an impact now does weather have on Australia's energy market?

So one of the key features of the NEM review from last year was that we identified weather dependency is changing the risk profile.

So it's, it's worth noting that it doesn't increase or decrease the risk profile.

It just changes it.

So the risk in the electricity market used to be the really hot days.

Because you've got large coal-fired power stations, if one of those power stations broke down, you could see a lot of stress in the system about can we meet demand with that reduced supply? Now it's a case of much more of if you have several days in a row with relatively low solar, relatively low wind, you're in a world where, you know, you need lots of, you know, redundancy in the system.

So that's batteries, you know, gas turbines, that type of thing.

I mean, what's your view on the challenge that data centers pose to the grid and, I suppose, their potential to affect other energy users?

What would you say makes Paradise feel distinct from other electronic music festivals?

A whole bunch of factors, actually.

It do- as, I agree with you, it certainly does feel distinct, but if I had to hone in on, on one or two of them, I would say it's the location.

Mar- uh, Ketly Canyon, where the p- where the festival occurs is, is really, really beautiful, and beyond that, it's that sense of community that I was telling you about earlier, you know.

My role in Paradise is as a board member.

That's my capacity in the festival, but so, so many people pull together to make the festival what it is.

There's no way it could happen just with me and my team of, of directors.

Is there anything that people should know before they attend?

Um, how does it make you feel as, as someone who has served your country to now be treated, uh, as though you are a potential fraudster by the government that you served?

Yeah, it's, uh, it, it's twofold for me.

So it's, it's the fact that as a, as a veteran myself and experiencing that, it's concerning.

What's also concerning though is I am a practitioner.

I look after thousand, uh, sorry, hundreds of veterans and thousands of veterans in the time that I've been a doctor.

And to be making these accusations that the providers are where the integrity concerns are, uh, is, is just mind-blowing that those assumptions are actually made or those allegations are being made.

So for you and, and people that you see as a doctor who will now be affected by this cap and, and this budget cut, I mean, does that effectively mean that once you hit the five grand, you're gonna have to dig into your own pocket to deal with things that you have as a result of your military service?

Well, DVA will say no, but, uh, unfortunately, the history is there of their behavior.

What is your point of impact?

...

this little girl...

Yeah.

Well, the reality of this little girl was that she explained, when we, we ask all, all of the survivors what they're grateful for, because when you focus on gratitude, you can't stay in a place of exploitation.

You, your mind shifts into what you're grateful for.

And this little eight-year-old girl in Phnom Penh in Cambodia that we were working with had put on her form that she was grateful that she got to sleep in a dry bed.

You read my mind.

What is it about the impact?

...

this little girl...

Yeah.

Well, the reality of this little girl was that she explained, when we, we ask all, all of the survivors what they're grateful for, because when you focus on gratitude, you can't stay in a place of exploitation.

You, your mind shifts into what you're grateful for.

And this little eight-year-old girl in Phnom Penh in Cambodia that we were working with had put on her form that she was grateful that she got to sleep in a dry bed.

You read my mind.

Share any recent data on modern slavery so our audience can really wrap our heads around this global travesty.

Yeah, so just to give you context of the global picture.

Across all forms of modern day slavery, there are estimated now to be just short of 50 million people internationally that are held in some form of modern day slavery.

And a key part of within that is labour exploitation.

And we're seeing those cases grow significantly, not just in the US, but across the world.

Just to give you a localised context.

It's estimated there are over a million individuals who are held in some form of slavery.

Tim, let's wrap on some good news, though, because whether it's that reuniting celebration or some of this outstanding outcomes-driven data that folks can find on your site, any other anecdote or story you can share kind of from the front lines of your team's work?
