Wellbeing Begins at Work
As we continue to battle the tides of the so-called great resignation after COVID-19, the workforce emphasis on wellness has become the main focus for many business leaders, as well as their employees. Work and wellness are often seen as opposing terms, and we know that 1 in 5 employees resigned in 2021, citing personal wellbeing as one of the main causes for leaving. One new startup tapping into this $94 billion market is the company Wellbase. They have created the world's first employee's holistic wellness platform, proving the impact of holistic interventions on ROI and business health. https://www.wellbase.com.au/

The Whisky that started a revolution
In 1992, in a quiet Tasmanian household, a first single malt whisky was produced, with no fanfare, or celebration. It was the first single malt spirit legally produced in Australia for 154 years. In 1998, after nearly a decade of curiosity and experimentation, Bill Lark released Lark Distillery's Single Malt Whisky commercially. 30 years later, The Still, on Argyle St, a finalist in 2022's Best Bar awards, guides dram drinkers through tastings, whisky appreciation evenings, and tours, and an extensive Tasmanian whisky collection in a contemporary and stunningly beautiful venue, celebrating what began as an idea so long ago.

A national conversation about the challenges we face
The AFR View 22/9/22   “Australia is better placed than many other comparable nations. But Dr Chalmers needs to start a serious and genuinely upfront national conversation about the challenges that Australian people must confront.”   The government should take up this call for a national conversation and "fully" engage the Australian people.   For too long now, our country has been slipping backwards on many fronts, and we, “the people”, have not engaged sufficiently in addressing many significant and often contentious issues.   The level of affordable government-funded services and how we raise revenue to pay for these needs to be urgently addressed.
