In NSW, drivers are getting warning letters for speeding—even without being stopped by police.

Phil speaks with NRMA’s Peter Khoury, who explains these letters are part of a “warning period” when new or upgraded speed cameras are introduced, giving drivers a chance to adjust before fines kick in.

Phil is joined by Garth Davis, a Property Expert, who suggests that Australia adopt a nationwide incentive similar to WA's 'Build a Life in WA' program, which offers $10,000 to New Zealand tradies to relocate. 

He believes this could address Australia's significant housing demand and supply issues, which are worsened by a shortage of local tradespeople hindering construction.

Garth emphasizes that this solution requires streamlining visa processes to avoid lengthy delays that would deter overseas tradies. He poses the question: Would you hire an overseas tradie?

Phil O’Neil is joined by Sarah Boorer, Communications professional & CWA award-winning cook, to look at the world of baked goods, delicious treats and & easy recipes.

This week Sarah whips up Cauli and halloumi korma curry (recipe courtesy SMH Good Food)

Ingredients
2 tbsp flavourless oil or ghee
1 large onion, diced
2 tbsp korma curry powder
140g tub tomato paste
Medium head of cauliflower, trimmed into florets
400g halloumi, cut into bite-sized pieces
400ml coconut milk

Method
Step 1
Add the oil or ghee to a large frying pan and place over medium heat. Once hot, add
the onion and cook until soft and translucent. Add the korma curry powder, stirring
briefly to coat the onion, then add the tomato paste. Cook until the paste darkens
slightly in colour and is coating the onion. Add the cauliflower and halloumi and cook
for a few minutes before adding the coconut milk.
Step 2
Stir gently to combine, then simmer for 10 minutes or until the curry has reduced,
and the sauce has thickened. If it reduces too quickly, add a splash of boiling water
to loosen. Serve with rice and naan.

TO SERVE
Chopped coriander, to serve (optional)
Rice and/or naan, to serve

Phil is joined by Communications & Body Language Expert Jordana Borensztajn, who discusses how hand gestures can either enhance or distract from your message. 

Many people either gesture too much (over-flapping, like verbal filler) or too little. 

Jordana's first tip is to improve posture: an open chest and relaxed body reduce fidgeting and allow natural gestures. 

Her second tip is to use intentional gestures to emphasize specific words, creating impactful moments. 

However, it's important to find a balance, as excessive gesturing can seem theatrical, while too little can make you appear tense or detached.
