With the departure of the beautiful and talented Stella Young in early 2010 (she's off to the ABC and doing stand up comedy at a venue near you folks, so keep an eye out!) No Limits has started its new season with a brand spanking new cast of talented individuals! We are also very excited to see the return of Akash Temple and Michael Uniake (Simon Lane).
Current Cast Members

 Elvira Alic
The youngest of the No Limits cast, Elvira Alic's hot wheels provide her with the independence she
craves. Her battle with obesity began her fruitful transformation and interest in breaking through
societal stigma. In hope of contributing to civic and social action, Elvira is currently undertaking
studies, at MelbourneÕs RMIT University. A creative free spirit at heart she has been involved with
a Victorias GRIT MEDIA (Disability Media Inc) since 2009. In addition she assumes a casual role on MelbourneÕs 3CR community radio, runs media workshops for young adults with a disability and has
Produced a Youth and Body Image episode of No Limits.
As an employee
of the Spinal Muscular Atrophy Association of Australia, she aspires to encourage efforts for a
multitude of issues surrounding rare genetic diseases, living with a disability and perseverance for
research.
Her trip to Europe has enriched her thirst for travel in the foreseeable future... chair and all!

 Phineas Meere
"I hate it how there are no accurate representations of people with disabilities in the media. This is something I want to stop," says Phineas Meere.
Phin has always had a passion for media but never thought he could be a part of
it because he never saw people like him on it. This was despite studying a
Bachelor of Arts with Majors in Journalism in Public Relations. It wasn't until coming
into contact with Grit Media through working on No Limits that he realised it was possible.
Phin also hosts "The Boldness" on Melbourne's 3CR for which he won a
Yooralla media award for Best Radio Current Affairs Reporting.

 Louis Rowe
Music guru Louis Rowe has rolled from the sticky carpet of Melbourne's live music haunts to the shiney floors of No Limits Tv Studio for the Ch 31 program's 10th season. Creator of Hired Goon Records, Louis interviews fellow musicians that have disabilities and also pulls out the axe for a strum himself. "Its very interesting interviewing people that walk the different path in life and talking about how that relates to their music"

 Carly Findlay
Carly Findlay is not just a red face. Nor has she been irresponsible out in the sun. She is a blogger and freelance writer. Her writing is sometimes frivolous, sometimes serious, always from the heart and telling it like it is. Carly was awarded the 2010 Yooralla Media Award for the online media category. She keeps a blog (http://carlyfindlay.blogspot.com) and has been published on DiVine and Mia Freedman's website. Carly enjoys writing, cooking, seeing live music, fashion and long walks through shopping centres.
Carly is open to marriage proposals from No Limits viewers. Or at least a first date.

 Michael Uniake A.K.A. "Simon Lane"
Michael Uniacke has been writing on deafness and disability issues for many years, but not often in such a pleasantly silly format as 'Not the News'. He claims inspiration from 'Yes Minister' and 'Monty Python'. Working in disability helps, too. His ambition is to interview the elusive Commissioner for Invisible Disabilities.

 Brian Caccianiga
Being born in Manangatang gives Brian a bit of an edge on others as firstly they have no idea where it is. However, after he explains it is just up the road from Chinkapook, which is up the road from Quambatook, where they have the annual tractor pull, it all becomes clearer. Nowadays, living in St Albans, Brian finds the need for advocacy grows daily. Whether it be local or wider issues, it seems people with disabilities are still the last thing thought about. So, the battles continue!!

 Kevin Boyce
Kevin believes that all people live with a disability, whether they are blind, in a wheelchair or simply barrack for the Collingwood Football Club.
