Now won't be Saturdays. I'm having Saturday 5 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 1: Nights off. Tracy Yanho has got to be on Saturday night, 6 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 1: but she goes on to say, I wanted to let 7 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,639 Speaker 1: you know I have no idea how heavy things have 8 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: been over the course of the last few days regarding 9 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,239 Speaker 1: the terror attack and BONDI. I hope you are doing okay, 10 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,559 Speaker 1: very happy listener here Cally from GRDA, thank you very 11 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 1: much for reaching out and sending me that text. I 12 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: really appreciate that the last few days have been tough 13 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: for not only the Jewish community and understandably so, but 14 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: also I think the majority of Australians, including myself. I 15 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: came into work on Sunday night expecting to go on 16 00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: air at eight o'clock. There was the Best of five 17 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 1: A playing between seven and eight o'clock. I got in 18 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: about a quarter past seven to get ready. There was 19 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,559 Speaker 1: a message that there had been a shooting at BONDI. 20 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: Somebody had sent a text in and I thought Okay, 21 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,040 Speaker 1: I need to check this out. So I went online 22 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: because I had to find out whether it was true 23 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: or not it wasn't being fabricated, and because I was 24 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: the only person here at that point in time, and 25 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: so I looked online and saw just a couple of 26 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: one line. It's because not much information was coming out, 27 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: because the story had literally pretty much just broken a 28 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: short time earlier, and so it was probably a good 29 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 1: ten minutes before I was able to gather enough information 30 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: to know that it was a legitimate terror attack happening 31 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: on Bondau Beach. And I went to at ha past seven, 32 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: announced that and then what we did. By that time, 33 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: Gina was here too, and we crossed to two GB. 34 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: TWOGB had all the resources there. I'd been trying to 35 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: and Gina been trying to ring a couple of journals, 36 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: but the journals were busy already talking to Sydney radio 37 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: stations and so they couldn't talk to us. So there's 38 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: nothing I could do. And the best thing I could 39 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 1: do and did do was cross two GB. The Healthy 40 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: Living program we're covering it, and they did a very 41 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: good job. They did an excellent job, in fact, speaking 42 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: to various reporters Ben Fordham one of them, and keeping 43 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 1: people informed and they were there pretty much right on 44 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: the almost the scene in Sydney. They had access to 45 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 1: all the reports, all the information coming through, and they 46 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: had the resources to be able to do that. Sunday nights, 47 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: there's myself and Gina and that's it. We don't have 48 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: journalists on or anything like that. Those days are long gone. 49 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: And so we did that till nine o'clock and then 50 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: I took calls and over the last few nights, I'm 51 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: going to be honest with you, has been it's been 52 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: a challenge because dealing with a lot of emotional angry, 53 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: grief stricken people, people angry with the government, people angry 54 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: with the terrorists, angry with the many other people, and 55 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 1: angry because this is brought to a head a lot 56 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: of issues that we've been talking about on talkback radio 57 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: for a long long time and criticisms. And some people 58 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: don't like the criticism we've been giving the albodies in government, 59 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: but it's got to be said when it's not just 60 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: somebody like me and you the caller giving them criticism 61 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: for their their lack of due diligence, When when it 62 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: comes to mass immigration and the you know, the ability 63 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: to do or the will to do anything about it. 64 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: And what's more, the insult of telling peaceful, everyday loving 65 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: Australians that when they march in the street because they 66 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: are against mass immigration, that they are racists. And the 67 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: prime minist that did that, our own Premier, Peter malinowskis 68 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,919 Speaker 1: called those people who marched peacefully against mass immigration racists. 69 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: And so there's all these frustrations around that there's the 70 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: rise of anti Semitism. There have been warnings about that 71 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: for a long time, the last couple of years, all 72 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: the various attacks on mosques, on individuals, the hatred that 73 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 1: was being spewed out by various sections of certain communities. 74 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 1: And like I said, it wasn't just you and I 75 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: who was talking about this and voicing our concerns and 76 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: our angst to the government. It was other politicians from 77 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:59,559 Speaker 1: different sectors having their essay as well and expressing the 78 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: exact act same views as you and I. But it 79 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: fell on deaf fears, it was ignored. A special report 80 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: by an envoy appointed by the Prime Minister himself has 81 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 1: laying on a shelf gathering dust for months and nothing 82 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: has been done about it, and it's all culminated in 83 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: what happened on Sunday night, that terrorist attack which killed 84 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: fifteen people and injured I think at least forty more. 85 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:34,239 Speaker 1: And so it's understandable that there is a lot of anger, 86 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: a lot of angst. There's also a lot of fear 87 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: about what's going on in the community today. For example, 88 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: we had the ashes test the first day of the 89 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 1: test at Adelaide Oval, and you go back to the eighties, 90 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 1: and you know, we talked about about that just a 91 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: moment ago with Josh talking about the eighties, the carefree days, 92 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: if you like, the freedoms, Ozsi's being Ossie's having a 93 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: bit of fun, doing a few stupid things and all 94 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: the rest of it. But all is harmless. Now we've 95 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: got armed police at Adelaide Oval, conducting bag searchers, doing 96 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: tests with the metal detectors, drug tests. The list goes 97 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 1: on because there's a palpable fear out in the community 98 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: that something like this could happen again, and we don't 99 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 1: know where it's going to happen, and we don't know 100 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 1: when it's going to happen. But when you take it 101 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 1: also into consideration, the head of Ago, and Ago itself 102 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:44,039 Speaker 1: has sighted and warned all Australians that a terror attack 103 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 1: is probable. So there's one or two chances of it happening. 104 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: That's again pretty concerning for all Australians. And that's why 105 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: we want our Prime minister, we want our state premiers, 106 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: We want the ministers and the various territories of this 107 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: country to look after the country. Look after the states 108 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: and territories that they were appointed to look after to represent, 109 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: not after minorities who want to do ill to this country. 110 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: Look after the people of this country. The wind is 111 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: with the family who lost everything, who lost their lives 112 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: fighting for this country. Think about them. That's what we're 113 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: asking our Prime minister to do, our Foreign minister to do, 114 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: our premiers, etc. That's what we want them to do 115 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: instead of going down this politically correct, woke ideology which 116 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: is destroying this country. So if you're wondering why people 117 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: are having to go, that's the reason why people are 118 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: having to go. And if you're wondering why people are angry, 119 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: that's the reason they're angry. And if you're wondering why 120 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: I'm angry, that's the reason I'm angry. I've been around 121 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: long enough to know how great this country is and was, 122 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: and I'm sick and tired of seeing it going down 123 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: the gurgler in the hands of incompetent politicians who don't 124 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: give us stuff about the people who they're there to represent. 125 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: So that's my say, And so Cary, you ask me 126 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: if I'm okay. I hope that answers your question, and 127 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: thank you for giving me the opportunity to get it 128 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: off my chest. But there's a lot more I could say. 129 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: I can promise you that too. There's a hell of 130 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 1: a lot more
