have you ever come up with the solution
to a problem in the shower or been hit
with a nifty idea on the train or in the
middle of a really boring meeting most
of us right at some point but we usually
forget about it or file it away
somewhere never to be seen again but
there are those other ideas that hit hit
us like a like a flash and they don’t
want to budge the kind of ideas that are
itching to be scratched well it’s our
pleasure right now to present to you
seven of the easiest quick ideas we’ve
been sent this year fast ideas delivered
to you in 30 seconds flat at the end you
get to be the judge and decide who wins
the prize so without further ado please
welcome our wonderful finalists from
this year
okay first up we have Samantha step on
up Samantha Samantha you’re no stranger
to performance by day you work in
economic development but by night you
dress up as an Ibis bird of all things
of all the birds why an Ibis I haven’t
just dressed up as an Ivor swear my
friend Ali’s fashion walk is an artist
and she makes a bunch of birds and she
wanted to highlight the ibises which are
often underestimated in Sydney and she
made a bunch of costumes for heaps K
last weekend okay great well that bird
needs all the good PR can get so in your
own time take it away please Samantha
across the nation in the age of cat
memes it’s too easy and if you’re a
freelancer a student or working in a
start-up you probably need someone to
hold you accountable you know keep track
of your breaks be a soundboard for ideas
or simply slap you every time you end up
on Facebook
we need an app that connects lone
workers so that we can get together and
create our own temporary co-working
spaces wherever we want
it’ll be kind of like tinder you’d be
swiping for a different kind of
collaboration
okay and next up we have Halina Popovic
hi Helene now you’ve had an illustrious
career in the field of medicine but it
was a special passion that you had that
intrigued me that basically inspired you
to be a vasectomy at one point would you
like to share of the audience what that
special passion was I’m sure it was
primary school embroidery classes
embroidery yeah interesting did you ever
leave any progression nice you’ll never
ever leave any nice daisy patterns down
around there or signature no a
conservative okay all right all right
awesome well without further ado take it
away
thank you have you ever noticed that the
language of Medicine is actually the
language of war we want to fight the
infection kill the virus defeat the
disease and wage war and obesity
we’ve turned our bodies into a
battlefield yet brain scans and blood
tests show that the language of combat
creates physical and psychological
distress I’m not suggesting we abandon
modern medicine just so we change how we
speak the language of war produces the
stress hormone cortisol the language of
love releases the healing hormone
oxytocin language is our greatest healer
okay and next up we have guy Webb
welcome to the stage guy
you’re an agronomist from central and
New South Wales and you also have an
interest in making your own kombucha
kombucha my pleasure kombucha tea yeah
health drink
sorry it’s a health drink based on a
fungus
thanks gonna say I’m a fungi here’s a
fun fact the atmosphere has dangerous
levels of carbon in it at the moment
however there’s too little carbon in the
world’s farming soils so imagine a
method that empowers farmers to take the
carbon out of the air and put it into
their soils on a Gigaton game-changing
scale this may now be possible thanks to
a recent breakthrough a soil carbon
capturing fungus the method is simple it
captures carbon out of the air and
converts it into stable soil carbon
empowering farmers to become carbon
capturing climate superheroes
beautiful and next up we have Katherine
Morgan of the 100 shoes ladies and
gentlemen she officially owns 100 pairs
of shoes oh how could you possibly make
a selection for today what was nice
these are a little bit pedestrian trip
hazard okay take me seriously I’ve got a
really good idea shoes my that’s a bit
flirty also okay you ready yeah
all right you’re on time sudden cardiac
arrest is the leading cause of death in
Australia the survival rate is less than
10% within three to four minutes brain
damage can occur defibrillators can be
used to restart the heart but where are
they could you use one if you knew
imagine if every new vehicle sold in
Australia came with a portable
defibrillator and training that could be
over 1.1 million people per year with
the mobile access and education to save
your lives
and next up Julian Melky wish Julian
come on up today no Julian you
essentially get paid to come up with
good ideas right I do so any tips for
the guys on what to do if you just can’t
get one not really the way the way I go
I D is is not to sit in front of a
screen or a desk if you just get out
plain windows are really good train
windows bus windows any transport
windows fantast windows they’re getting
ya windows the highest with Windows ok
you can start there alright awesome
beautiful Thank You Jillian off you go
I had this idea on the toilet which
makes me lucky 2.4 billion people don’t
have a toilet which makes life
particularly difficult for women and
girls the United Nations has a World
Toilet Day every November the 19th so to
raise funds on that day only we should
all donate $1 for number 1 $2 for a
number two it’s an honesty system I’m
not going to come around and check
together let’s all start a movement
called PAYG pay as you go
Thank You Julian that was very moving
okay next up we have star Singh come on
a Buster now a star from Europe you’re
you you explained to me you basically
have one challenge you need to get
through today’s pitch without doing what
one thing laughing exactly you have a
bit of a habit to just break into
laughter spontaneously as we’ve realized
over the last week so no jokes no no
funny from here on in dead serious okay
off you go can broccoli cure cancer its
climate change real what the hell is
phenylalanine ammonia lye is anyway
scientists do all this amazing research
that has answers to these questions but
the problem is they’re buried in long
complicated and often boring research
papers I have a solution to this made
doctors simple an app that converts that
scientific language into simple language
through clever writers and also helps us
distinguish between fact and fiction
thank you
Thank You aster okay finally we have
analyse course now unleash your
beautiful husband is here somewhere in
the audience he’s actually at home
looking out here at two and a half years
old no you guys told me about your
interesting meeting story you met at the
the arc day nightclub on Oxford Street
but there was one particular thing that
stood out for you about him can you
sheriff hood he was the only man wearing
a shirt and so you were also wearing
clothes yes and you’re a match made in
heaven
we actually okay do it for the husband
saying hi to him at home okay take it
away new babies bring immense joy but
for parents they can bring an unexpected
new phase the fourth trimester it can
deliver life-changing losses to your
independence your identity and
excruciating sleep deprivation some
relationships don’t survive this my idea
to establish fourth trimester
communities that focus on the
nutritional physical and mental health
of the entire family unit it takes a
village to raise a child yet modern
parents are working without their
village it’s time to build the village
again
Thank You Annalise okay now for the
world-famous highly technical clap
ometer let me explain how this works so
just in the moment I will remind you
guys of the title of each of the fast
ideas and then I’ll invite each of the
fast ease up onto the stage and as they
step up but that’s your cue to cast your
vote in terms of the volume of your
applause your cheers your whistles
throwing things at the stage whatever
you wish okay so and at the end the
winner is announced okay so let’s go
through them all to begin with we have
to begin with the anti procrastination
app by Samantha straw
number two we have changing the language
of Medicine by dr. Alina
soil carbon quest bigi web
have you got people in the audience sir

thing
I’m finally the fourth trimester
communities by Annalise scores

by a sliver I feel it in sky web this
soil carbon fire
