Speaker 1: Live from Bateman's Bay. This is Paul Murray live our town.
Speaker 1: Can I can? I Bateman's Bye?
Speaker 2: How are you hi?
Speaker 1: It up and ready? Our first outtown in the year
Speaker 1: you got love out. Thank you so much. Batemans Bay.
Speaker 1: What a magnificent place. We are looking forward to celebrating
Speaker 1: it tonight. We're here at the Catalina Club and people
Speaker 1: are fired up tonight you're ready to go? When? When? When?
Speaker 1: All right? Now? We have been having a great time
Speaker 1: in Bateman's Bay over the past couple of days. It's
Speaker 1: the start of what is going to be the biggest
Speaker 1: week on the road we've ever had. It starts here,
Speaker 1: it goes via a bit of federal politics. It's off
Speaker 1: to Vegas and maybe on our way towards an election.
Speaker 1: We have I played with an African rhino. I got
Speaker 1: around on a jet boat. We've had plenty of fun
Speaker 1: and we'll talk to some of the local heroes here.
Speaker 1: All in a couple of moments time as we celebrate
Speaker 1: all that is regional Australia. Thanks the wonderful people of
Speaker 1: Harvey Norman, without whom we cannot do what we are doing.
Speaker 1: And this year they step up to celebrate those local
Speaker 1: heroes in a particularly special way. But as always my
Speaker 1: love letter to the Prime Minister that you get used
Speaker 1: to at the start of each and every show. By
Speaker 1: this time next week there's probably going to be the
Speaker 1: Prime Minister will have called an election. Now, yes, that
Speaker 1: means we've got the next few days of will he
Speaker 1: won't he? But generally speaking, the reason they call an
Speaker 1: election on Sundays is because it's the biggest TV ratings
Speaker 1: for the six pm news, it's the biggest newspaper day.
Speaker 1: That's changed a little over the years. But of course
Speaker 1: it means that we will be in the best season
Speaker 1: of all and that is election season, the opportunity for
Speaker 1: you to be making the decisions, for you to be
Speaker 1: in charge of where the country goes. And all of that,
Speaker 1: of course starts with the Prime Minister visiting the Governor General.
Speaker 1: Remember the handpick governor General that it now is paid
Speaker 1: even more than he is. Her salary. Now, what's seven
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars? Okay, well he's paid six hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: And how many pay rises here in Bateman's made in
Speaker 1: the past three years. That's what I would have thought.
Speaker 1: Remember they got three in the past since the election
Speaker 1: now in terms of prospective dates, by this time next week,
Speaker 1: if an election is called, will be all in all
Speaker 1: the data will do all of the full coverage that
Speaker 1: will be because the election will be on Saturday, fifth
Speaker 1: of April. If for whatever reason it's all delayed for
Speaker 1: another week, the most likely one before we start getting
Speaker 1: into school holidays, public holidays, all the rest of it
Speaker 1: will be April twelfth. But he absolutely has to have it,
Speaker 1: whether he wants to or not, and wait till I
Speaker 1: show you some poll numbers, which might mean he might
Speaker 1: want to go and hide or pretend to have COVID
Speaker 1: for another week, because the seventeenth of May looks like
Speaker 1: it is obviously that the last time that he should
Speaker 1: be getting up and into it now. As always, whenever
Speaker 1: you pick a day, there are people who say that's
Speaker 1: the wrong day because it's important to my community, or
Speaker 1: my availability or my ability to vote, and just adding
Speaker 1: a little bit more insult to injury. It looks like
Speaker 1: that will be passover for the Jewish community in Australia,
Speaker 1: and that community has said that they don't want the
Speaker 1: fifth to be the date. But of course, the great
Speaker 1: difference between elections in the past and now is like
Speaker 1: half of people vote early. So even if it's you know,
Speaker 1: the first Saturday of the school holidays, the point is
Speaker 1: lots of people they get up and vote early. In fact,
Speaker 1: can I show you this, which is have look at
Speaker 1: one of the screens of you in the room, or
Speaker 1: just keep looking at what you're looking at right now
Speaker 1: at home, Have a look at this. This is the
Speaker 1: total number of people who've hated early. In the last
Speaker 1: federal election. Seven point three million people or forty two
Speaker 1: percent of people voted before election day. Previously, that was
Speaker 1: about three almost four million in the twenty nineteenth. So
Speaker 1: generally speaking in Australia, if you want to play you know,
Speaker 1: soothsayer all the rest of it. If there's more early votes,
Speaker 1: then generally speaking, obviously people have made their mind up
Speaker 1: and generally that is about getting rid of a government.
Speaker 1: So we'll watch this day to day and see whether
Speaker 1: certain seats like Gillmore, which of course is in and
Speaker 1: around this area, which is very tight, if there's early votes,
Speaker 1: what can you read into it? And as you know,
Speaker 1: I love the data, we'll get nice, deep and dirty
Speaker 1: because we know that you're interested in it, because it's
Speaker 1: about the future of our country. Also, I just want
Speaker 1: to get in with all of this because in a
Speaker 1: week's time there'll be this all this other information floating
Speaker 1: around that there is a very significant number, literally hundreds
Speaker 1: of thousands of people that are going to be voting
Speaker 1: for the first time. And no, they weren't all people
Speaker 1: who joined the country in the past two weeks thanks
Speaker 1: to Tony Burke, of course, it's a collection of people
Speaker 1: over the past three years who have become eighteen I
Speaker 1: think we have one in the room right now. That's okay.
Speaker 1: We'll tell you how to fill out your form exactly
Speaker 1: in the order it should be filled out. But also
Speaker 1: there are hundreds of thousands of people, of course that
Speaker 1: have come to the country. It's a four year process
Speaker 1: for citizenship. But that means this eighteen million people will
Speaker 1: be voting in this upcoming election. There'll be a new
Speaker 1: electorate well as two existing seats that get the hive Hoe.
Speaker 1: There'll be half a million households which have moved from
Speaker 1: where they did at the last election, meaning that perhaps
Speaker 1: super Lefty from Victoria has now moved up to Supernational
Speaker 1: Party area in country Queensland. Obviously they bring their politics
Speaker 1: with them. Overall, you need to know that Australian voters
Speaker 1: are older, because we're all three years older than the
Speaker 1: previous one. But there's also more of us than ever before.
Speaker 1: There's a very significant growth in the number of people
Speaker 1: in Western Australia. So all of this is going to
Speaker 1: be fascinating to see in the election. And again when
Speaker 1: we're just trying to work out what's going to happen
Speaker 1: at the election. And I'm not going to be a
Speaker 1: happy talk person. I'm not going to sit there each
Speaker 1: and every day and say going to happen, going to happen,
Speaker 1: going to happen. Because what's the lesson we learned in
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen when all the yebiyaba was oh Bill Shorten
Speaker 1: next Prime Minister of Australia, what do we say? Nothing's inevitable,
Speaker 1: Nothing is inevitable. It doesn't matter what the polls say today,
Speaker 1: with the bookie say tomorrow, doesn't matter what you're best
Speaker 1: made over the fans. You you will decide what's going
Speaker 1: to happen. Okay, not just with your first preference, but
Speaker 1: with your second preference as well. Your number two is
Speaker 1: as important as your number one as always, but it
Speaker 1: is certainly something you have to think about if you're
Speaker 1: going to stray away from major party voting, about how
Speaker 1: quickly you get back to a choice of someone to govern.
Speaker 1: All Right, we can all hide behind they're all terrible.
Speaker 1: Sometimes that's true, sometimes that not. But at some point
Speaker 1: in time a choice has to be made. There is
Speaker 1: a big fault line in the Australian electorate that we
Speaker 1: will be discussing a lot between now and election day.
Speaker 1: There are just as many people under the age of
Speaker 1: fifty as over the age of fifty on the electoral role. Okay,
Speaker 1: there is basically fifty to fifty, slightly more, but fifty
Speaker 1: to fifty in terms of men and women. But the
Speaker 1: opinion polls are showing us blokes are heading in a
Speaker 1: direction and ladies are heading in a different one. So
Speaker 1: there'll be certain seats with more women more men, and
Speaker 1: that'll again give us an idea of what's happening right now.
Speaker 1: Latest to peace im Pultage came through in the Turbul
Speaker 1: Times otherwise known as The Guardian, was that when it
Speaker 1: comes to blokes, they're leaning a little more towards the
Speaker 1: Liberal Party. That's the blue squiggly line of DNA. The
Speaker 1: Labor Party, these little sort of ups or downs like
Speaker 1: one to two points. Okay, but essentially that's been the
Speaker 1: way it's been for a little while. However, when it
Speaker 1: comes to female voters, you'll see a significant reversal of
Speaker 1: fortune here where the Labor Party ends up being slightly
Speaker 1: in front. Now, if I can ask our control room
Speaker 1: back at sky News that gray line at the bottom,
Speaker 1: can we go back to the male figure as well?
Speaker 1: You can see there between five and ten percent of
Speaker 1: undecideds in females and less than five percent of undecided
Speaker 1: in males. So it's all really tight. We're looking for
Speaker 1: the numbers, it's all kind of fifty to fifty, where
Speaker 1: one hundred people this way a thousand people that way
Speaker 1: is going to have an obvious effect. Now, that gender
Speaker 1: gap is really important because when we talk about an election,
Speaker 1: who sways an elect particularly females thirty five to fifty five.
Speaker 1: We'll have a look at this. There are seven and
Speaker 1: a half thousand more female voters and male voters in
Speaker 1: the seat of Kuyon, So if they're leaning away from
Speaker 1: the Liberal Party and there's a TLMP, that's how you
Speaker 1: start to see the predictions of this seat's going to
Speaker 1: move this way. This is not going to move that way.
Speaker 1: Now you've all lived life and you all know this information.
Speaker 1: But I wanted everyone to see in the room and
Speaker 1: at home that there are very significant they say, the
Speaker 1: seat of Boothby in South Australia one where the Liberal
Speaker 1: Party would like to win it. Nicole Flint, she'd be
Speaker 1: a fantastic member of Parliament. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: would agree or not, but she I think she's a ripper. Well,
Speaker 1: she's got work to do when there's that sort of
Speaker 1: gender imbalance. Also, what about the sizes of the electorates.
Speaker 1: It's not one size fits all. So to win the
Speaker 1: seat of Longman you have to get fifty point one
Speaker 1: percent of one hundred and forty one thousand people. Now
Speaker 1: Longman is in and around Kabulcha, just on the very
Speaker 1: northern fringes of Brisbane. Have a look at this, one
Speaker 1: hundred and forty one thousand. The biggest in New South
Speaker 1: Wales is Kauper Parks. See these big numbers right, plus
Speaker 1: big pieces of land. Well, you can get elected in
Speaker 1: the seat of Lions with forty four thousand votes. So
Speaker 1: the size with which and the number with which you
Speaker 1: need to convince people. So again, this is why Jackie
Speaker 1: Lamby matters in Tasmania, because while they've only got eighty
Speaker 1: eight thousand people, forty four thousand, you need to convince
Speaker 1: that number two matters. So if you think all electorates
Speaker 1: are the same, it's about one hundred and fifty thousand.
Speaker 1: It's the same everywhere kind of fIF it is this
Speaker 1: granula and I explain all of that. So when we
Speaker 1: get into that great Sunday Night segment which I hope
Speaker 1: you've joined the bandwagon on where we talk about the
Speaker 1: details of elections and get deep into it, that's where
Speaker 1: we're going to go. So yes, we're, in my view,
Speaker 1: going to surprise anyone that i'd like to see change.
Speaker 1: But whether that's going to happen rather than just what
Speaker 1: you want to happen, well you only know that by
Speaker 1: following the data. As we say. Now, an opinion pole
Speaker 1: dropped up today. Good way, I'm on television. Everyone wave
Speaker 1: you're on TV. It's okay, you can wave. Don't worry
Speaker 1: about it, all right, you can always say ta ta hi,
Speaker 1: all right, you're all on telling excellent. Now he started
Speaker 1: a trend that bloke up the back security note there
Speaker 1: was an incredible poll which came out six o'clock Canberra time,
Speaker 1: which is a huge jump towards Peter Dutt. Now this
Speaker 1: is you very big, very good, very good. So this
Speaker 1: thing's put out by the Channel nine. People have a
Speaker 1: look at this. This is the number of the votes
Speaker 1: in the election from three years ago. Labor Party thirty
Speaker 1: three Liberal Party thirty six percent. The pole that has
Speaker 1: just dropped tonight. The Labor Party has gone from thirty
Speaker 1: three percent to twenty five percent. The Liberal Party has
Speaker 1: gone from thirty six to thirty nine percent. So interesting
Speaker 1: to see where all of that is. James Campbell, writing
Speaker 1: in the Herald Sun today, well, I think he believes
Speaker 1: that the momentum is going to go Dutton's way. In fact,
Speaker 1: he wrote a little bit about this today about the
Speaker 1: tenor off what we will be potentially talking about a
Speaker 1: week from now, which of course will be a month
Speaker 1: out from when it's time to get on with it.
Speaker 1: Every poll makes absolutely clear that people have had a
Speaker 1: long hard look at Anthony Alberanezi and decided he's basically
Speaker 1: rubbish of this job. He wasn't pulling punches normally. This
Speaker 1: will be a problem for a first term Prime minister. Normally,
Speaker 1: you would expect a Prime minister in this position to
Speaker 1: be desperately keen to tell us about all the exciting
Speaker 1: things that he's going to do for us and give
Speaker 1: him another go. However, he's underwhelmed us in the way
Speaker 1: he's done the job, and he's going to underwhelm us
Speaker 1: potentially on the way out. So no mystery which way
Speaker 1: James thinks all of this is going to go in
Speaker 1: the next couple of days. Which brings us to the
Speaker 1: first of the major pre campaign campaign events, which was
Speaker 1: the Prime Minister today. I believe in Tasmania because again,
Speaker 1: lots of labor seats there, but smaller numbers, which is
Speaker 1: why constantly you're in Wa, you're constantly in Tasmania. And
Speaker 1: he was there and it was all about banging on
Speaker 1: about Mediicare and another billion, eight billion dollars of your money,
Speaker 1: roll tape and hold it in as long as you can.
Speaker 3: An eight point five billion dollar commitment to deliver stronger
Speaker 3: medicare everywhere, saving people hundreds of dollars in out of
Speaker 3: pocket costs, no asterisk, no fine print, no terms and conditions,
Speaker 3: just one hundred percent bulk billing covered by medicare.
Speaker 1: Okay, enough great cool, YESO, Toto up? Can I get
Speaker 1: an upgrade? You know you have a look at a
Speaker 1: new joint. Anyway, this was really all about trying to
Speaker 1: move the conversation from the number one thing that's cost living,
Speaker 1: trying to move it to medicare Why liberals bad Ugenborger,
Speaker 1: Peter Dutton all the rest of it. You know the
Speaker 1: video that I've showed you where they literally just cut
Speaker 1: up what he said and Frankenstein something to make it
Speaker 1: look like he was going to kill off medicare. Well,
Speaker 1: even though they know that's not true, it didn't stop
Speaker 1: the Prime Minister from dropping this. Today.
Speaker 4: When they talk about efficiencies, they mean cuts. When they
Speaker 4: talk about economic surgery, they mean cutting bulb Billy off
Speaker 4: at the news.
Speaker 1: Ah Man, he's openly said that it's not going to happen,
Speaker 1: but they're just going to pretend that you can ignore it.
Speaker 1: They'll still do this silly videos. But Peter Dutton very
Speaker 1: clever today in terms of political stratum. Because the government said, oh,
Speaker 1: eight point five million they're going to rip medicare apart,
Speaker 1: Darton turns around and says, okay, not just eight point
Speaker 1: five now nine billion, because I'm going to throw five
Speaker 1: hundred million, which will be their major promise in and
Speaker 1: around mental health. Here was the pushback from Dunton today
Speaker 1: as he hasn't just matched, but bettered what Labour's wanting
Speaker 1: to do on Medicare.
Speaker 5: The Coalition government is committed to nine billion dollars worth
Speaker 5: of investment into our general practice network. It will provide
Speaker 5: support to training, it will provide support to mental health services,
Speaker 5: and it will provide support to making sure that practices
Speaker 5: are viable and can provide a mix of services to patients.
Speaker 5: And it'll help build those billing rates back up to
Speaker 5: what they were under a coalition government.
Speaker 1: Now, before we celebrate the good people at Batman's Bay,
Speaker 1: can I just make one little point on the behalf
Speaker 1: of Australia that has to pay for this, the future
Speaker 1: generations that will have to pay even more for it.
Speaker 1: The Prime Ministers January has made twenty seven and a
Speaker 1: half billion dollars worth of promises. The election hasn't even started,
Speaker 1: So on the behalf of everyone, how the hell are
Speaker 1: you gonna pay for it? The Intergenerational Report says we
Speaker 1: are in deficit for the next forty freaking years and
Speaker 1: you want to add twenty seven and a half billion dollars.
Speaker 1: I don't think people are gonna believe you, but we'll
Speaker 1: all wait and see together. All right, Bateman's Bay, We're
Speaker 1: fired up, ready to go. We've got the red meat,
Speaker 1: we've got the fire up, we got the fight pipe pipe.
Speaker 1: So let's celebrate Bateman's Bay. Bateman's Bay about a four
Speaker 1: hour drive from Sydney. It is a spectacular part of Australia.
Speaker 1: A little further south is Mogo, not too far from Canberra.
Speaker 1: So yeah, the odd lefty. But that's okay, that's okay,
Speaker 1: that's fine. You know, just just sure, sure, sure Shaw,
Speaker 1: go for swing. No, it's a beautiful part of the
Speaker 1: world and it is fine. Ohso many things, including, of
Speaker 1: course the beautiful Clyde River, the Clyde River oysters in particular,
Speaker 1: some of the best, if not the best in the country.
Speaker 1: I think you're going to say the best in the country, right,
Speaker 1: I thought so. Picturesque National Park here, kayaking, snorkeling, there's
Speaker 1: the finest seafood that's dished up at waterfront restaurants, the
Speaker 1: sculpture walks that you can go and do here, but
Speaker 1: most importantly, the single best thing about Batman's Bay are
Speaker 1: the people who live here. Twelve thousand, two hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty three future friends with a median age of fifty three,
Speaker 1: and the leading place they were born apart from Australia
Speaker 1: was in England. As you know, about five years ago,
Speaker 1: pretty horrible fires that there are still obvious scars the
Speaker 1: some we've had chats about all of that, but also
Speaker 1: there's plenty of heroism and there's lots of comeback. The
Speaker 1: place looks amazing. We were here about five years ago.
Speaker 1: I think the local council has done a pretty good
Speaker 1: job of tarting things up in the streets. Things look
Speaker 1: pretty good and back together. And I know it's painful
Speaker 1: for some ev and with us today to see those
Speaker 1: sorts of images. But on top of that story of
Speaker 1: five years ago was think about having to not just
Speaker 1: a movie family, but say moving a zoo. It's exactly
Speaker 1: what happened when it came to the Mogo Zoo and
Speaker 1: obviously we went down there, had to chat about that
Speaker 1: and then got on with the fun that is this
Speaker 1: part of Australia. When the fires were ripping through this
Speaker 1: part of Australia five years ago, there were so many
Speaker 1: frightened people. Those scars are still obvious today, and while
Speaker 1: the trees have grown back, there are other scars that
Speaker 1: are worth talking about, including the emotional effect on the
Speaker 1: beautiful animals of the Mogo Wildlife Park. It was incredible
Speaker 1: to hear about the dedicated workers and what they did
Speaker 1: to keep this place standing during the devastating Black Summer
Speaker 1: fires back in twenty nineteen, because let's be honest, without them,
Speaker 1: we'll be talking about a very different story today. Now
Speaker 1: you've been here for five years. The timing of that is,
Speaker 1: of course, it's five years ago since the fires in
Speaker 1: this region, and you took over just as basically all
Speaker 1: of that was happening, and you took an incredible photo
Speaker 1: of this, which was giraffes and the area on fire.
Speaker 1: It's so good to see that things have come back.
Speaker 1: How the hell do you move a zoom in.
Speaker 6: A fire, Well, that was kind of the thing.
Speaker 7: You don't.
Speaker 6: And so the job was to protect them, protect this
Speaker 6: site because here you can't call in trucks to put
Speaker 6: ten riff on. At different times, that whole tree line
Speaker 6: was on fire. We were getting spotfires everywhere, and if
Speaker 6: we hadn't just stayed on top of it. This place
Speaker 6: was gone.
Speaker 1: The dedicated workers all share their own unique bonds with
Speaker 1: these incredible animals, whether they've been raised literally by hand,
Speaker 1: from birth all the way through to the latest stage
Speaker 1: in their life. The love never stomps. Now, we were rolling,
Speaker 1: but I just saw something amazing. So let's see if
Speaker 1: it happens again. He'll respond to a call of his name.
Speaker 1: Watch this, just watch this extraordinary. Please Jobari, come on,
Speaker 1: good boy. That is amazing. More than three hundred animals
Speaker 1: called the Mogo Wildlife Park home, and it's been carefully
Speaker 1: designed to mimic their natural habitats. What I like to eat, Well,
Speaker 1: they are.
Speaker 6: A scavenger, yeah, so that's why you often see them
Speaker 6: digging in so much. And we've got all these tunnels
Speaker 6: here like Insects are by far their favorite, yep, but
Speaker 6: they do have quite a lot of vegetable in their
Speaker 6: diet as well.
Speaker 1: He was so great to see all of these animals
Speaker 1: and how far they've come from the fires in this
Speaker 1: area might be home to all of these beautiful little meercats.
Speaker 1: But you want size, you want power, You want to
Speaker 1: get on a jet boat where our pool's worth of
Speaker 1: water goes through the engine every minute. All right, let's
Speaker 1: talk about what we're about to experience this mofo. Give
Speaker 1: me an idea. How big, how powerful? Ten thirty foot long,
Speaker 1: we can take twelve people.
Speaker 5: We've got eight hundred and eighty horse power, very strong,
Speaker 5: solid pill boat ocean tours.
Speaker 1: All right, well, throw me around.
Speaker 2: Like a rag doll. All right, let's go.
Speaker 1: This is so much fun but also an incredible way
Speaker 1: to see things that you've got to see with your
Speaker 1: own eyes. These islands are incredible, the colors of the
Speaker 1: ocean unbelievable, and if you really look hard, some penguins
Speaker 1: I've written on a.
Speaker 8: Camel written motorcycles, jet boating, new favorite.
Speaker 1: How good was that you could see the little inner
Speaker 1: bogan going bang bang, Nick? Thank you very much made
Speaker 1: a wonderful man. All right, Matthew Hatcher is your local man.
Speaker 1: Give it up for him. Why are you loving to
Speaker 1: see king? It's out now, Matthew. This is a really
Speaker 1: special part of Australia. It's a place that wants to
Speaker 1: continue traditional while also making sure that it's as up
Speaker 1: to date as everything. How do you approach being the
Speaker 1: person with the most local power to do something here?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think it's all about bringing people together constantly,
Speaker 9: and this community post fire is obviously really banded together,
Speaker 9: the whole shire and the region really not only counsels
Speaker 9: and state and federal governments, but you know, your neighbors
Speaker 9: really had to come together. And I think it's just
Speaker 9: that having that constant dialogue and you know, really keeping
Speaker 9: your finger on the pulse, I guess, and getting out
Speaker 9: about and trying to find that happy medium. There's always
Speaker 9: a balance.
Speaker 1: Because it's that thing where inevitably there are going to
Speaker 1: be some people that probably want to go a bit
Speaker 1: too far in some of the development. There are some
Speaker 1: people who maybe don't want to perhaps move anything from
Speaker 1: where things are, so you have to balance that. But
Speaker 1: your view of Bateman's Bay and the whole ship over
Speaker 1: the past five years, so once fire recovery takes sort
Speaker 1: of a couple of years, where are you sitting now,
Speaker 1: how do you feel about where the joints position.
Speaker 9: I think we're in a fantastic position. We've had sort
Speaker 9: of this migration as well because of COVID from the
Speaker 9: cities down to this area, so we've seen a lot
Speaker 9: more I guess money flowing in as well. Obviously, new
Speaker 9: developments happening. There's always going to be I guess, you know,
Speaker 9: and there'll be people in the room who want to
Speaker 9: see high rises and people who want to see nothing happening.
Speaker 9: And I've got a great balance. My mother in law
Speaker 9: lives next door to me, and she reminds me that
Speaker 9: nothing should change. And I think as a council we're
Speaker 9: there to sort of set vision and it's really about
Speaker 9: what we're going to deliver for our children, and I
Speaker 9: think we're as a group that's what we have to
Speaker 9: constantly keep. And I think just with the access to
Speaker 9: Sydney Canberra as well as the having airport locally here
Speaker 9: as well, we're in a fantastic position going forward to
Speaker 9: sort of see the benefits.
Speaker 1: If you sort of hear a little faint something, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a little Alabama in this boy. In fact, there
Speaker 1: was for many of the early years of his life
Speaker 1: before you came here. Does that give you a different
Speaker 1: perspective about growing up in a place where say, executive authority.
Speaker 1: We talked about this the other night when ran into
Speaker 1: you at the Chinese restaurant, which was just wow. Obviously,
Speaker 1: executive power is different in Australia competiti to the United States,
Speaker 1: but you were exposed to the weights sitting on one
Speaker 1: person's shoulders. Does that do you think give you a
Speaker 1: little bit of an extra insight into how to do
Speaker 1: it now? Yeah?
Speaker 9: Shout out Raymond's restaurant.
Speaker 1: Raymonds, how good to Ravens A wow, order everything, Ceazling
Speaker 1: and then just order it again? Okay? Did I to
Speaker 1: everyone who was there? Yeah?
Speaker 9: No, it is hard and I think you know, I've
Speaker 9: only been in government, local government for two terms now,
Speaker 9: and previous to that I kind of had no idea
Speaker 9: what government did. So you sort of assume the mayor
Speaker 9: has got all this power. And we talked about this
Speaker 9: the other night. In Australia particularly, you don't have that much.
Speaker 9: So it's more about setting vision and I think quite
Speaker 9: quite often locally people just sort of say, oh, this
Speaker 9: is a council needs to fix this, the mayor needs
Speaker 9: to fix this. And I'm sure people in the room
Speaker 9: would see me get tagged on things on notice spoorts
Speaker 9: all the time. I think having that responsive this community
Speaker 9: really feels like they have access to people I guess
Speaker 9: in power and making decisions. But ultimately there are a
Speaker 9: lot of a lot of red tape on everything and bureaucracy,
Speaker 9: but we do. I think you always at my level,
Speaker 9: are always focusing on trying to deliver the best thing
Speaker 9: for the most people, and ultimately you're always going to
Speaker 9: have people upset at every decision. And I've had people,
Speaker 9: you know, since I got this role that we're very
Speaker 9: good friends who are upset about ace something that was
Speaker 9: approved or a decision made on something. And I think
Speaker 9: as long as you're just keeping that at the fore
Speaker 9: front of always trying to do the best.
Speaker 1: Thing, sounds like my life. A few people are not
Speaker 1: my friends anymore. So you take a position, you do
Speaker 1: what you've got to do. But good on your Matthew,
Speaker 1: excellent leadership, beautiful part of Australia and so good to
Speaker 1: have a chat both on.
Speaker 10: The best place.
Speaker 1: Thank you give him around them clause A good man
Speaker 1: re elected bigger margin. That's the most reason we got
Speaker 1: lucky gone elections. So this week is back in UNI.
Speaker 1: You appreciate it all right, quick bake back with more
Speaker 1: thanks to the wonderful people of Harvey Norman. This is ourtown,
Speaker 1: coming to you from the Carolina Club right here in
Speaker 1: Batmans Back in a second, can you believe that the
Speaker 1: people of Bateman's they have been clapping for that long,
Speaker 1: like all the way through the ad Breage, loving for
Speaker 1: you guys. We're having a great time at our first outtoun.
Speaker 1: We'll do this, of course, each and every month around
Speaker 1: the country. It is only possible because of the wonderful
Speaker 1: people of Harvey Norman. We've been doing this for years
Speaker 1: now and it is a thrill every chance we do it.
Speaker 1: Every year that we get the chance to plot where
Speaker 1: we're going to be going around the country is awesome.
Speaker 1: And this year we bring a particular bit of love
Speaker 1: from Harvey Norman, but that love is decided by locals.
Speaker 1: Our mates it Harvey Norman are always looking for new
Speaker 1: ways to help those in need, and their commitment to
Speaker 1: this part of Australia goes a long way back. It
Speaker 1: was five years ago when we first visited Bateman's Bay,
Speaker 1: and with the help of Harvey Norman, they were here
Speaker 1: in the aftermath of the horrific Black Summer bushfires, helping
Speaker 1: as many as they could. It's true that at the
Speaker 1: height of everything you were coming back to the shop
Speaker 1: to double check that nobody was looting. Sadly was happening
Speaker 1: but also you were giving people a chance to charge
Speaker 1: their phone.
Speaker 11: Yeah, we were charging phones off a bit of supports
Speaker 11: and food border It's just such a big thing for them.
Speaker 11: So for a few staffroom was down, we didn't have
Speaker 11: power inside the shop. We actually had it outside running
Speaker 11: a generator charging their phones.
Speaker 1: Harving Norman is always finding new ways to help communities
Speaker 1: and one of their really important charity partners are the
Speaker 1: incredible people at Good three point sixty. This is an
Speaker 1: organization which helps people get back on their feet after
Speaker 1: a crisis with things most of us take for granted.
Speaker 12: We work with suppliers and businesses across Australia to get
Speaker 12: those goods to give out to communities. So again they
Speaker 12: can can bring the goods to our warehouse and we
Speaker 12: distributed those to charities across Australia, or charities can go
Speaker 12: to those stores and pick up the goods in their
Speaker 12: local communities and give them to people in need. At
Speaker 12: the moment, we have over fifteen million dollars worth of
Speaker 12: stock here in the warehouse, but we've donated over almost
Speaker 12: half a billion dollars worth of stock.
Speaker 1: In particular here in Bateman's Bay. They were instrumental in
Speaker 1: the recovery efforts after the twenty nineteen Black Summer Fires.
Speaker 12: So the bushfires is really a great example of what
Speaker 12: happens during disasters. So we all know in the immediate
Speaker 12: time of bushfires the spotlights on those communities. But a
Speaker 12: disaster is a marathon, not a sprint. So partners like
Speaker 12: Harvey Norman have been with us for the long term
Speaker 12: rebuild of those communities. They have helped us with communities
Speaker 12: and families have access to goods that they need during
Speaker 12: the rebuild.
Speaker 1: Just one of the people that Good three sixty helped
Speaker 1: during the fires was Greg Franklin, a father of five
Speaker 1: beautiful children, two of whom live with autio, and that
Speaker 1: did make their recovery from the bushfires even harder. I
Speaker 1: had the chance to go to his house, meet the kids,
Speaker 1: and sit at the table to hear his story.
Speaker 13: When our house ran up, a fire ball hit it,
Speaker 13: but I was outside for a while. Fiada and the
Speaker 13: kids had already left because I saw it up on
Speaker 13: the ridge at about in the morning. I said, just go,
Speaker 13: don't take anything, just go. So I staying there, and
Speaker 13: you think I get a hose and find it. It
Speaker 13: doesn't even into your head. Here in. I don't think
Speaker 13: people understand that the temperature, it's not forty degrees. I
Speaker 13: walked back into the house to try and get some things,
Speaker 13: but the paintsplustering off the walls. Wow, So yeah, you're
Speaker 13: talking about temps fifty sixty degrees. The kids in Theiada
Speaker 13: moved to try to get into the first area of it,
Speaker 13: which is blocked off. Why people parked the cars and
Speaker 13: some of it was ride away. She then went to
Speaker 13: the evacuation center. She couldn't get in there, and then
Speaker 13: the fires looked like I was going to hit the
Speaker 13: so she moved to Catalina Public School. So they were
Speaker 13: stuck in there and they were going to evacuate them
Speaker 13: from there, but they could, so she had a little
Speaker 13: factor differently so far as well, they were there, you're
Speaker 13: studying a bit.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, that's right.
Speaker 2: That happened.
Speaker 1: To me about good three sixty and about the tangible
Speaker 1: help that they were able to offer.
Speaker 13: They came up and said, look, we can get you
Speaker 13: all these good things.
Speaker 7: Which is great.
Speaker 13: We just moved into the home, so television in there,
Speaker 13: we've got nice toaster's still over there. We've still got
Speaker 13: things we're using, and they were all practical things, and
Speaker 13: Harvey Norman brought them up. Here was something tangible new
Speaker 13: that wasn't secondhand and a mess up being tud described
Speaker 13: that it was a tangible, real new thing.
Speaker 1: And that brings us to where we are in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five. What a great idea Harvey Norman's come up with,
Speaker 1: which is to let the people of local areas like
Speaker 1: Bateman's Bade select their local heroes. In return, they will
Speaker 1: be honored with a pretty significant give bouta for the store,
Speaker 1: which again goes back into the community to celebrate time
Speaker 1: to go inside. Harvey Norman has always supporting good people
Speaker 1: doing great things in their community. Congratulations, thank you, Paul,
Speaker 1: very well done. Well, don't take me think they're good
Speaker 1: people of Harvey Norman. How good, good on you, Thank you, Caleb,
Speaker 1: really appreciate it. Congratulations they're great, aren't they all right?
Speaker 1: Congratulations to you, well done, Thank you so much for support.
Speaker 1: And the great man Mick, Hello, big fellow, how are you?
Speaker 14: I love this man, I love what he does and
Speaker 14: Harvey Norman love regional Australia.
Speaker 15: Well I feel an on and Flivor it should get
Speaker 15: that phone call a surprise peign call on Thursday. But look,
Speaker 15: as a business owner myself, I think most of us
Speaker 15: are doing something for the commune already. And as for
Speaker 15: Harvey Norman, which is such a big company, it's I'm
Speaker 15: too grateful for this. Get Basha and I'm sure this
Speaker 15: would be shared with other people as well.
Speaker 1: And thank you.
Speaker 2: Great.
Speaker 1: This is such a great initiative from Harvey Norman. And
Speaker 1: the great news is gets happening all year long. Everywhere
Speaker 1: we go, the local store will be searching for local heroes.
Speaker 1: Next up is to Woomba in Queensland. So go into
Speaker 1: the store, think about the local hero and support them
Speaker 1: for supporting you. They are great. It is a great idea.
Speaker 1: Congratulations for all of the local winners and all about Harvey.
Speaker 1: People over here, thank you very much. I do appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Now here have the Catalina Club vis Joint five stars.
Speaker 1: They have been spectacular behind the scenes. They have been
Speaker 1: excellent at helping set everything that we're up here. But
Speaker 1: you've got to come here. When you come to Bateman's Bay,
Speaker 1: you know I love a club, and here the Catalina
Speaker 1: Club is incredible. It boasts a twenty seven hole championship
Speaker 1: golf course, Yes, you heard me right, twenty seven and
Speaker 1: it has some of the best places in town to
Speaker 1: sit back, relax and what's your favorite sports, get a
Speaker 1: cool beverage from one of many impressive newly renovated bars.
Speaker 1: And this is a place which has been the heart
Speaker 1: of this community since nineteen twenty.
Speaker 16: Catalina Club has one hundred and forty five team members
Speaker 16: that call it its place of employment pay a little
Speaker 16: over six million dollars in wages per anum, so obviously
Speaker 16: all that moves back into local economy. We support over
Speaker 16: seven local sporting community groups as well.
Speaker 1: This golf course had humble beginnings back in the nineteen twenties.
Speaker 1: It was just an eight hole course, but look at
Speaker 1: it now, twenty seven of the most amazing championship holes possible.
Speaker 1: It was even the home to the very first place
Speaker 1: Greg Norman ever won a golf tournament. This was back
Speaker 1: in the nineteen seventies at the South Coast Open.
Speaker 17: We've got over a thousand golfing members and that ranges
Speaker 17: from our juniors all the way to our seniors, I
Speaker 17: suppose are eighty nine year old. Twenty seven holes is great.
Speaker 17: Having that flexibility to cope with both members as well
Speaker 17: as visitation.
Speaker 1: Has always mentioned my name paipl Bryce. Beautiful people, good people.
Speaker 1: This is a great part of Australia. Fatland more will
Speaker 1: celebrate more from Vatman Stack. Welcome back to Catalina Club
Speaker 1: here in Vateman State. Who loved voices all right? Who
Speaker 1: thinks you're soft if you don't eat oysters? Might talk
Speaker 1: about the bit that a bit later. We have the
Speaker 1: opportunity to spend some time with a lovely couple who
Speaker 1: are fourth generation oyster farmers five o'clock every morning, seven
Speaker 1: days a week, absolutely beautiful in their product. World famous.
Speaker 1: Bateman's Bay is famous for some of our nation's best oysters,
Speaker 1: all farmed here on the Clyde River is part of
Speaker 1: the Nissobel South Coast. We were shown how every bit
Speaker 1: of this process is done by our mates Jade and
Speaker 1: Greg at the Oyster Shed Ray. Thank you very much
Speaker 1: for having us. Oh it's my pleasure for now. I
Speaker 1: love that you've got the retail business that people can
Speaker 1: come here, have a coffee, have an oyster or seven
Speaker 1: if they'd like to feel free. But tell us how
Speaker 1: long have you been on the river and oyster farming?
Speaker 18: So I'm a fourth generation oyster farmer here in.
Speaker 1: The Clyde River.
Speaker 18: Our little shared was actually built by my grandfather in
Speaker 18: nineteen fifty seven and his my dad took over at
Speaker 18: twenty one. My husband and I have just boarded in
Speaker 18: the last two years, so we've got a little bit
Speaker 18: of knowledge about the oysters and the industry.
Speaker 1: So you've got it well trained. Is just the work,
Speaker 1: Shut up, I get it.
Speaker 14: Somebody's got to be the listener.
Speaker 1: How does one go about farming oysters? How long is it?
Speaker 1: You know? Howgi becomes food? Tell me the process?
Speaker 18: The process, so oysters are quite woke, I should say,
Speaker 18: is that they actually start out as males until they
Speaker 18: reach two years of age and then they go to
Speaker 18: female and revert back to male. So that's that's the
Speaker 18: start of their little life, so their journey, that's right.
Speaker 1: The truth.
Speaker 18: They naturally reproduce in the water, so depending if they
Speaker 18: are at the male or female stage.
Speaker 1: We'll relieve they will release the sperm or.
Speaker 18: The egg into the water and then the fertilization, so
Speaker 18: that's the birds and bees of it. They then float
Speaker 18: around and we actually.
Speaker 1: We catch our oysters wildly. So this is the Sydney
Speaker 1: rock species.
Speaker 18: The native species to Australia that I'm talking about. We
Speaker 18: catch them on a plastic slats. That's what we call the.
Speaker 9: Single seed method.
Speaker 18: So what we have here is some beautiful Sydney rock
Speaker 18: oysters that will be about three years old.
Speaker 1: So of all of the places in all of the world,
Speaker 1: why Bateman's Bay, why is Batman's Bay the place for oysters.
Speaker 18: Well, we're lucky in the fact that we are one
Speaker 18: of the cleanest waterways in Australia. We're ninety eight percent
Speaker 18: state forest in national parks, so there's no pollutants here
Speaker 18: in our river system. We're fed from the beautiful Tasmin Sea,
Speaker 18: so we've got that beautiful salty water. But you can
Speaker 18: see the mountain ranges here behind me fresh water right
Speaker 18: at the very top. So it's that brackish water system
Speaker 18: that creates an amazing growing environment for oysters.
Speaker 1: Now's the moment of truth.
Speaker 19: Now's the moment of truth.
Speaker 18: So there's two ways you can actually open an oyster,
Speaker 18: and I'm going to show you the very first way,
Speaker 18: so it is the chef preferred way. What you do
Speaker 18: is he putting the oyster knife in between the hinge there.
Speaker 18: Now I'm just wiggling the knife until the oyster knife
Speaker 18: will hold itself up. So that's how you know you've
Speaker 18: got a good amount of leverage underneath the oyster. There,
Speaker 18: I'm going to push the handle down and bring the
Speaker 18: blade up.
Speaker 1: So do you use it as a lever? Wow?
Speaker 2: Just like that?
Speaker 1: Oh wow?
Speaker 18: So moving the knife around to the right hand side,
Speaker 18: because that's where.
Speaker 9: The adductive muscle is.
Speaker 1: It's attached to the top and the bottom of the shell.
Speaker 1: We've just pil that mask.
Speaker 2: So beautiful.
Speaker 18: Look at that beautiful ocean water.
Speaker 1: It was a beautiful day out on the water. You've
Speaker 1: got to make sure that you get down here and
Speaker 1: experience this incredible part of Australia, but also make sure
Speaker 1: you sample the product. Show me how it's done.
Speaker 18: Look, everyone has a different way of doing it, but
Speaker 18: me personally the.
Speaker 2: Way it is.
Speaker 1: Oh good on your join the shed, n Ray lovely,
Speaker 1: lovely people and a beautiful product. Please go down and
Speaker 1: check it out. Keep it going for Richard Adams is
Speaker 1: here along with Sam Steiner. They are both people committed
Speaker 1: to the local community and I'm very pleased to say
Speaker 1: they are here. Best mustache I've seen, by the way,
Speaker 1: how did this get hit until now, Like I'm waiting
Speaker 1: to look at the tash on the bay. It's a
Speaker 1: good looks there. I appreciate it. Richard. How long have
Speaker 1: you been in and around the bay at fourteen years now? Right?
Speaker 1: So when do you become a local? Fifty years? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I thought so that might be theky, but still I
Speaker 1: am business leader. Tell us about what this area means
Speaker 1: to you and the types of things you like to
Speaker 1: do to help it. It's home.
Speaker 19: I grew up in central New South Wales. This is
Speaker 19: like a bit of that, but on the cave, so
Speaker 19: you've got the best.
Speaker 11: Of those worlds.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 19: What I like to do is just help people during fires.
Speaker 19: Like prior to the fires, we're helping businesses in Maga,
Speaker 19: we start a business chamber to help assist grow the
Speaker 19: town and liaise with local government. So that worked really well,
Speaker 19: and then unfortunately the fires hit, so we transformed from
Speaker 19: a business chamber more to a community chamber. So we
Speaker 19: met with so many different government entities to help source help.
Speaker 1: And when you know, you watch something on the news,
Speaker 1: you see the politicians roll in, they'll have the photos
Speaker 1: all the rest of it. Right, did it take longer
Speaker 1: than you expected? For what they promised to turn up right,
Speaker 1: Like I know there's other examples where they haven't even
Speaker 1: turned up on certain things. But do they if they
Speaker 1: turn around and say, oh, we're going to bring this
Speaker 1: little shed down, we're going to do this for you,
Speaker 1: we'll make sure we help you with this to rebuild
Speaker 1: relatively quick, or give us an idea what it's like
Speaker 1: on the other side of the TV after something like that.
Speaker 19: So some things in a reasonable time frame you can imagine,
Speaker 19: especially the cleane up that resonates with me a fair
Speaker 19: bit is when the government promised to come down and
Speaker 19: clean up, and they've done a great job. However, there's
Speaker 19: someone who's going to be first and someone's last. So
Speaker 19: that time frame to clean up that much mess, it's
Speaker 19: going to take a long time, not only the infrastructure
Speaker 19: that's laying on the ground and all that's right, And
Speaker 19: I think everyone's first, so you've got someone I should
Speaker 19: be first. So I remember one mate and I said
Speaker 19: we'll go last. I'm happy to go last to everyone else,
Speaker 19: and everyone stopped.
Speaker 1: So they realized that.
Speaker 19: Someone's got to be last, someone's going to be second last,
Speaker 19: and it was.
Speaker 1: It's no yeah.
Speaker 19: And same with the other infrastructure with pal poles. That
Speaker 19: was the same. I think the torn frame was given
Speaker 19: to me the Torn because so many probaties it without power.
Speaker 19: Mostly you're Adela. They said about three months and I thought, man,
Speaker 19: that's fired a long time. They've done it in less time.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 19: I've never seen a team of guys work so well together.
Speaker 1: That's cool.
Speaker 19: So there were some amazing things, some not so amazing things,
Speaker 19: some things. We've got a lot of plans floating around
Speaker 19: for here. Hopefully we can deliver some more over the
Speaker 19: next few years.
Speaker 1: Well, stay in touch and not kick some mass for
Speaker 1: you at all the levels it's needed. It's a very
Speaker 1: solid boot. Don't worry. It seems to have some effect
Speaker 1: every now and then. Sam, you're part of the RFS
Speaker 1: forine Rescuing, so Foreign Rescuing you South Wales. So to
Speaker 1: be able to help a community. I talk about this
Speaker 1: a lot about emergency services people, right, which is that
Speaker 1: I think you guys and girls are the best of
Speaker 1: us because you see people on their worst possible day.
Speaker 1: You see people when others would want to run the
Speaker 1: other way. What does it mean to you you to
Speaker 1: be able to help day to day a community that
Speaker 1: you live in that you love, that your family loves.
Speaker 1: What does it mean to.
Speaker 10: You means everything to me.
Speaker 1: I absolutely love it.
Speaker 10: I've been in the job for aden years, and you know,
Speaker 10: there's been obviously hard times like the fires, where you
Speaker 10: sort of come out the other side a bit scarred
Speaker 10: and want to quit. But it's our community came together
Speaker 10: in such a strong way that I think even if
Speaker 10: I was faced with the exact same circumstances, I'll be
Speaker 10: prepared to do it again just because of that support.
Speaker 10: I think the biggest thing we had then was we
Speaker 10: didn't know that we had support. What we've had and
Speaker 10: learned since the fires is the amount of support from
Speaker 10: the community, and then watching the community support itself as well.
Speaker 1: I don't know whether you want to go there, but
Speaker 1: I'll still ask anyway. Part of that support, emotional right
Speaker 1: is built into the modern firefighter, the availability to have
Speaker 1: the emotional support or do you seek it out in
Speaker 1: other places? Because you have seen some awful things over
Speaker 1: a long time. Even if there wasn't what happened here
Speaker 1: five years ago? So what did it do for you?
Speaker 10: Yeah, there's plenty of discussion had and they always come
Speaker 10: down from Pet Office and tell us to reach out
Speaker 10: ring this number, yeah, one hundred percent, But I think
Speaker 10: the culture is still very much that should be right.
Speaker 10: We'll just get through it. That Actually, the wheels fell
Speaker 10: off for me at the end of the fire season
Speaker 10: and I ended up on leave with post traumatic stress
Speaker 10: disorder and of course other issues to work through.
Speaker 1: And it was probably.
Speaker 10: More so the community again that helped me get back
Speaker 10: into the brigade and back on shift and going again.
Speaker 1: It's that thing, and we've seen it from Broom to
Speaker 1: loncest and the Cans and all. Like when you are
Speaker 1: a community, right, everyone knows a lot and sometimes not
Speaker 1: enough about each other, but they can see when somebody's
Speaker 1: struggling a bit right, and they do reach out. And
Speaker 1: it could be the smallest thing from a Maine Howe
Speaker 1: today to what can I do to help? But that
Speaker 1: seems to be that little special thing in the air,
Speaker 1: apart from the beaches, the water and all the rest.
Speaker 1: That's what holds you together, isn't it.
Speaker 7: It is.
Speaker 19: I've met so many people from our community and from
Speaker 19: Afar that just give you that little bit of a
Speaker 19: help and to give you that little bit more breath
Speaker 19: to go forward, because sometimes you think, wow, I need
Speaker 19: to give up this, but then something happens and I've
Speaker 19: got a bit more. So you just keep going, like
Speaker 19: you said, has an effect on you.
Speaker 1: Well, this is this thing where you know, it doesn't
Speaker 1: matter where we are in the world. I'm always like,
Speaker 1: you know what, if you've got a grudge, get rid
Speaker 1: of it. If you've got an opportunity to tell someone
Speaker 1: you love them, do it right. And that just be
Speaker 1: the family member, the random person, the person who sort
Speaker 1: of only ever wants to talk about policy all the rest,
Speaker 1: because you never know whether that's the the inch that
Speaker 1: pulls them back or the inch that puts them over
Speaker 1: the top for a great day. And either way, on
Speaker 1: the behalf of everyone here, we love you. We love you.
Speaker 1: Thank you boys. I do appreciate it. Thank you, Thank you.
Speaker 1: Frist break back with more here on Paul Murray Light.
Speaker 1: Thanks for the great people of Harvey Norman were in

Speaker 1: I have never eaten an oyster in my life, and
Speaker 1: I tried, but here's the proof that I have not
Speaker 1: actually eaten an oyster. So just tip it up.
Speaker 18: You just want that beautiful oyster and the natural juice
Speaker 18: going in there with you. Now, like I said, you're
Speaker 18: either gonna get, you know, a French kiss by the ocean,
Speaker 18: or you're gonna feel like you've been dumped by wave
Speaker 18: at the beach.
Speaker 1: Different. It's different, and it's a different texture that's a
Speaker 1: little different from me. That's a little different from me.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I tried so hard, gone gone, I tried,
Speaker 1: I really tried. Now, Jarrett, it's just a man who
Speaker 1: has not like a what feels like a world record,
Speaker 1: definitely the strained record. Four hundred dozen of these he
Speaker 1: pulled apart in a day. That's four thy eight hundred
Speaker 1: in a day. Love you to meet you.
Speaker 8: My big friend.
Speaker 1: All right, now, let's rip one of these open and
Speaker 1: let's see if I can eat one. Let's do it.
Speaker 20: I'm just about to say, mate, you haven't eaten a
Speaker 20: noise to say, I think the first os I cracked
Speaker 20: for you, I think it should be a testament to dedication.
Speaker 1: Alright, this is this is a test of my love
Speaker 1: and Bateman's bay. Yeah, all right, here we go.

Speaker 1: Give me another one? What done? All right? So when
Speaker 1: you're shucking four thousand of these in a duck? What
Speaker 1: do you do you like? How do you maintain concentration?
Speaker 1: How do you not get bored? How do you not
Speaker 1: cut yourself? No, I'm not having a third.
Speaker 20: Call, to be quite honest with you. To think about
Speaker 20: the cost of living these days. So I think about
Speaker 20: my family and the bills we've got to pay. So
