Former Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi has died at 86.  He had had leukemia complicated by a lung condition and a dose of long COVID.

After a career in property development, construction a media TV empire and buying his favourite football team AC Milan, he turned to politics in 1994.  He formed the Centre Right Forza Italia party and swept into power in a matter of months.

Dogged by many scandals, he nevertheless held the top job in Italian politics 4 times from 1994 to 2011.  After time suspended from office, he bounced back to become a member of parliament at the last election.

The Federal government have been working to put forward a $10 billion Housing Australia Future Fund, or HAFF. Just earlier today in parliament, a key concession to the policy proposal was made, with Federal Housing Minister, Julie Collins, offering to guarantee yearly spending in return for Senate crossbench support.

$500 million was guaranteed as a minimum per year to be spent on affordable and social housing all across Australia. However, the Greens continue to be in fierce opposition, with plans to vote against the bill calling the HAFF a gamble.

The 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso turns eighty-nine next month. For sixty four years, he has led a non-violent opposition to the illegal annexation of Tibet by the Chinese Peoples Liberation Army in 1959.  Since then, he and a faction of other Tibetans who have fled have spiritually led Tibet in exile from Dharamsala in India.

The reincarnation of the Dalai Lama has been a contentious issue as the Chinese government wants to use a new leader to increase its control over the Tibetan people.  In contrast, the exiled government wishes to use the new Dalai Lama to continue their peaceful opposition.

As of now, both parties have proclaimed that they will pick their own Dalai Lama, which will create competing heads of a religion.

A new report from the Grattan Institute reveals recent migrants within the past five years are twice as likely to be underpaid than long-term residents with similar skills in the same jobs.

The report also mentions in 2022, between 5% to 16% of employed recent migrants were paid less than the national minimum wage.

From high-class restaurants in hospitality or in heavy labor jobs in agriculture, these migrants may earn less than $10 an hour.

Freddie exposes the strange timing pertaining to the release of this report which coincides with French Prime Minister lisabeth Borne release of the new government plan of action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Frances farming industry. Freddie goes on to talk about French company InnovaFeed and its largest active insect production site in the world whose aim is to provide the market with huge demand for alternative protein-based ingredients. Freddie ends the interview by touching upon the latest Intelligence report regarding the Nord Stream sabotage and explains why the narrative presented by The Post and the CIA intel documents is a clumsy attempt to mislead the public. All this and more. Listen:

Lets explore Shapeshifting. That very human talent to change and adapt with curiosity and exploration. How will we adapt to artificial intelligence, especially in a job market that suddenly looks VERY different? GPTs on GPTS the report from OpenAI, OpenLabs Research and the University of Pennsylvania gives very interesting insight into the jobs that will impacted hundreds of them from 19% exposure to 100%. Tax assessors dont do too well. 100% replacement and 50% faster. But sometimes, were not interested in exploring or being curious or learning. We just want to get by.

Ive got some bad news for those of you who just want to chill. This is not the time to do that. Were giving birth to AI at the moment. The world is pushing and straining, and its going to come whether we want it or not. Do we get caught in a rut? Thats not my job. Thats not how this job should be. This isnt what I planned for. I dont understand this person. Why do I have to be the one to find common ground? Why do I have to work with AI?

I have a long and boring list of jobs that are impacted by AI/ChatGPT and how to pivot and adapt. Skip that part.

We look at Underemployment in Australia due to AI: a single person jobsharing with AI and 9 other people wont be enough hours. Roy Morgan report on underemployment (currently at 17.1%) is more comprehensive than ABS unemployment (3.4%). Those numbers are about to skyrocket. I hope this episode has given you some thoughts about how to copilot with AI, how to move through this next phase with curiosity and wonderment rather than fear and trepidation, understanding that maybe your job will never be the same again. But thats okay, because theres a new approach, a new way of doing things thatll be interesting and keep you engaged.

Resources below as well as my AI Is My CoPilot course (in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Canberra and Virtual) please go to the Australian Institute of Management website if interested: please dont do my course unless it suits but please please please, do SOME education on AI. This thing is moving FAST.
