    Is Red Tape Killing Victoria’s Housing Dream?

    Victorians are working too hard to keep getting held back.Marko Matvikov joins Kate Save and me on Hear Me ROAR to talk housing, red tape and accountability.A qualified engineer, part-time builder and full-time developer, Marko brings a practical perspective on what it takes to get things built.How do we deliver more homes when the path to building them is so complicated?Planning delays. Layers of approvals. Uncertainty. We’ll unpack where bureaucracy serves a purpose, where it gets in the way, and what needs to change.And when Victorians are expected to account for every dollar, government should meet that same standard.Under Victoria’s Labor government:• The abandoned Commonwealth Games cost more than A$589 million, with no discernible benefit identified by the Auditor-General.• Operation Watts exposed nepotism and the misuse of publicly funded resources for party purposes.That deserves scrutiny. And consequences.Behind these issues are people saving for a deposit, families searching for an affordable home, and business owners putting everything on the line.Their time matters. Their money matters. Their future matters.We should expect clear planning decisions, responsible spending and a fair chance for hardworking people to get ahead.On 28 November, let’s demand meaningful change and hold everyone asking for our vote to that standard.Marko Matvikov.

    Cancer Took Someone He Loved. Now He’s Turning Business Into a Fight Back.

    What if everyday business spending could help change the future of cancer research? James Stewart joins Kate Save and Tobi Skovron on Hear Me Roar to share the personal loss and powerful purpose behind Par 5, a business network and B2B marketplace designed to deliver commercial wins and sustainable funding for cancer research. During more than six years working with Pancare Foundation, James saw the funding challenges holding medical research back. He also saw an opportunity: connect businesses through a unique Impact Procurement Model that turns commercial activity into meaningful community impact. That mission has a deeply human foundation. Cancer affects entire families and communities. Established in 2011, Pancare supports people affected by pancreatic, liver, biliary, oesophageal and stomach cancers, combining investment in research with care that responds to patients’ and families’ changing needs, from diagnosis through to recovery and bereavement. James is determined to help future generations facing low-survival cancers have better outcomes. Through Par 5, he is building an ecosystem where business growth and that ambition work together. A conversation about turning loss into action, building with purpose and using the power of business to make a difference.
