Not a drill: Aussie icon Nagi from RecipeTin Eats is hosting a lunch in Sydney soon
Now, this is exciting. Nagi Maehashi – Aussie icon, author of two record-smashing cookbooks (Dinner and Tonight), and the brains behind a seriously banging sausage roll recipe – is teaming up with Plate It Forward's Shaun Christie-David for a super special one-off Sydney lunch. Held at soul-warming Ukrainian eatery Kyiv Social – winner of Time Out Sydney's Impact Award 2025 – this edition of Mum Cha will see Nagi, her mum Yumiko, and RecipeTin's head chef Jean-Baptiste 'JB' Alexandre join forces with Shaun and his mum Shiranie to serve up a delicious eight-course meal to hungry Sydneysiders (hi, that's us) that celebrates culture, generations and stories. Guests will enjoy four shared dishes by Nagi, Yumiko and JB, and four from Shaun and Shiranie, plus a cocktail on arrival and free-flowing red and white wine. It's happening on Saturday, June 28 – kicking off from 1pm. And our favourite bit? Dozer, Nagi's beloved senior golden retriever, will also be making a special guest appearance. A social enterprise, Plate It Forward employs, trains and supports people from marginalised backgrounds and those who have experienced adversity (including refugees from war), shining a spotlight on their stories through their venues, including Kyiv, Colombo Social, Kabul Social and Kolkata Social. And as well as creating tasty, bulletproof recipes, Nagi is also passionate about supporting people doing it tough – she's the founder of RecipeTin Meals, a not-for-profit food bank that has donated more than 300,000 meals to Sydneysiders in need. So this is a beautiful collab in our books. Created by Shaun and Shiranie, Mum Cha is a monthly celebration of the women and mothers in life who inspire us – and a way to bring people together over love and a banging meal. Tickets to Mum Cha with Nagi, Yumiko and JB, as well as Shaun and Shiranie, cost $150 per person. They go on sale at 4pm today (Thursday, May 29), Sydney time. You can snap yours up here.

Long shelved film a tribute to a much-loved son who will never be forgotten
Filmmaker Cameron Miller felt he had nowhere to go after his son's death of congenital heart disease at the age of 17. Mr Miller, 54, is hoping money raised from his latest film, a project that has been a quarter of a century in the making, will fund a place that offers respite to other parents who find themselves in the same agonising position he found himself in after he lost Shaun in 2012. "After I lost Shaun, I went through quite an amount of grief and, sort of, you know, had a bit of a breakdown and stuff, and what I realised is we need to have a place for parents," he said. "I'm hoping that if this film's successful, we can build the first Shaun Miller House... (A place) where they (parents) can go after grieving their child, because there's, there's nowhere to go. "They just give you a box of their things and say, 'See you later', and you're out the door." Read more from The Senior Prior to his death, Shaun had urged Mr Miller to complete Yesterday's Hero, a film he first started working on 25 years ago. Those early days of production marked an extremely trying time for Mr Miller. As he worked tirelessly on the film during the day, his cast and crew had no idea he was tending to his seriously ill son, then just five years old, at night. "I would start in the morning at 6am, and (after filming) I would go into the hospital because my son was very sick and they said he was going to die, so I spent three weeks sleeping in the hospital while I was shooting this film," he said. Needless to say, when the film's original investor threw out the film's negative, amounting to 30 cans of film stock, he was devastated. There was no easy way to recover the footage in those days, so, with everything else going on in his life, he felt he had little choice but to shelve the project. Despite his extremely grave condition, Shaun continued to fight. Three years later, he received a heart transplant. It would buy him almost 10 more years of time with his family, but he ultimately lost his battle to the disease in 2012. One year prior to his death, Cameron showed Shaun a DVD containing footage he had shot for the film. "He said, 'Dad, you, you've actually got to finish this. This is very funny... a lot of people will like this.' Starring comedian Chris Franklin, the film tells the story of a builder's labourer and amateur comedian who rises to fame in Australia, then heads to Hollywood to try and make it big. Franklin and a number of the film's other stars and cameo performers, includ Corey Feldman, Krista Vendy, Fiona O'Laughlin and AFL great Warwick Capper, have donated their salaries to the Shaun Miller Foundation. Picking up work on a film that had been abandoned 25 years earlier was no easy feat. After getting Franklin to reprise his role, Mr Miller had to use artificial intelligence and 30 years later sequences to combine old and new footage and bring the story to its conclusion. "It's got that (The) Castle feel, so it's very, very Australian and that's what Shaun loved about it." The film is set for completion by the end of August. Mr Miller is planning a theatrical release early next year. Share your thoughts in the comments below, or send a Letter to the Editor by CLICKING HERE.

Meet man whose salary was once Rs 12800000, now working as delivery boy due to..., warns that millions...
New Delhi: Once a software engineer earning a hefty salary of Rs 1.28 crore ($150,000) annually in the world of the metaverse, Shaun is now facing a challenging phase in his life. Forty-two-year-old Shaun has two decades of experience in the technology sector, but today he is surviving on small jobs like food delivery and selling items on eBay while living in a small trailer in New York. He was suddenly laid off last April. After that, he sent applications to over 800 companies, but he received less than 10 interview calls, most of which were through Artificial Intelligence (AI) bots. Shaun couldn't find a job anywhere in the tech sector. He states that generative AI is consuming jobs in the tech sector and that the coming times will be even more difficult for tech professionals. In an interview with Fortune, Shawn said, 'This silence is not temporary this time. It is deeper, colder, and scarier.' Working in trending fields like the metaverse, Shawn finds himself at a turning point in the tech industry, where tools like Generative AI are prevalent and human talent is being side lined. Shawn is not against AI. He calls himself an 'AI maximalist.' He believes that AI is a great technology, but it is being used to replace people rather than empower them. He says, 'This is just the beginning. Today it is me, tomorrow there will be more.' Sean's story reflects the reality of the tech sector. This story of Sean is not just about one individual but depicts a changing world where big companies are replacing employees with AI under the guise of cost reduction. He says, 'This is not a story about smart machines; it is the result of short-sightedness. Companies are lowering their ambitions instead of enhancing innovation.' Now, Sean is considering obtaining a technology certification or a commercial driver's license to explore new avenues of income. However, upskilling requires money, which he does not have at the moment. Sean's story is not just a crisis but a warning that if the development of AI is not balanced, it can impact millions of lives.
