    SA Election: Making your vote count!

    What is a caucus? How to ministers get appointed? What is a shadow cabinet? What is a donkey vote? Who puts forward bills and how do they get scrutinised before being passed? Why do independents and minor parties matter? How do I fill out my ballot? We bring together Global Shapers from across the country to dive into state government mechanics and definitions, to help you understand how your vote is counted and what happens in the parliament once the votes are settled. Australia has a unique vote counting and parliamentary system - so be sure to get the basic understanding to make your vote count!This is a must-listen before this weekend's state election in SA, and has SA-specific examples, but will remain relevant for all Australians engaging in our (compulsory) democratic process. This episode was produced in collaboration with Global Shapers Melbourne and Not Too Young To. Apply to join the Global Shapers Adelaide Hub here.

    Season 2, E5: Australia, let’s have a conversation about the Voice referendum

    The upcoming Voice to Parliament Referendum is fast approaching and it’s time to get conversations flowing. Identifying a gap in public knowledge surrounding the upcoming vote, Global Shapers wanted to spread awareness of the campaign in a non-partisan way, for those who seek further understanding. As Global Shapers we meet and collaborate on Kaurna Land everyday. We are privileged and proud to call this land our home and pay our respects to its traditional custodians who have cared and nurtured this shared ground for generations.  The upcoming referendum is a big turning point in our country’s history. We are lucky to live in such a democracy where we have a voice, so let’s use it to make an informed vote. In this episode we tackle the questions everyone seeks answers to as we embark on a journey towards the polling booths in October.  Our knowledgeable guests Zara Cox, Alan Abraham and Harper Robb are all Adelaide University Law students dedicating time to the cause of education surrounding the vote. They share insightful yet vital information and encourage everyone to follow the links below to learn more.  Notes — Heart to Heart instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hearttoheart_campaign/ Heart to Heart podcast: https://spotify.link/3430MnIHnDb https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-heart-to-heart-podcast/id1701922170 Uluru Statement website: https://ulurustatement.org/

    Meet Ameen Bou Diab: an inspiring young talent and a proud member of ForceForty, an initiative championed by South Australia's New State of Mind Campaign. Ameen's journey is a rollercoaster. From his early days in Lebanon, a significant move to Saudi, and then jetting off to Australia to chase his aerospace engineering dreams, every step was a blend of challenge and triumph. But here's what makes Ameen's story special: from his efforts to adapt to all the changes and rise up to all the challenges in his life, emerged three principles that define him today - his unwavering belief in freedom, connection, and love. In his days as an international student, these principles didn't just help him survive; they helped him thrive and become a beacon for South Australia's dynamic young talent. In this episode, we chat about his experiences, his role at 11point2 consulting, and how he's contributing to the dynamism of South Australia. If you're looking for a story packed with determination, heart, and a dash of rocket science, you won't want to miss this! This episode was hosted by Madison O'brien and Hasitha Jayatilake.
