0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:30.960
<v Speaker 3>we always say, at least once a month go see

0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:32.919
<v Speaker 3>Australia because it's the best holiday.

0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:33.000
<v Speaker 1>You'll ever have.

0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:35.199
<v Speaker 3>Come and see Lonnie. They're the best people that you

<v Speaker 3>you are here. I can tell you that we are

0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:48.400
<v Speaker 3>going to show you a little bit more of some

0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:51.360
<v Speaker 3>of the beautiful natural sites around here around Tipmas of course,

0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:55.040
<v Speaker 3>is the Olympic champion from Tasmania. I'll have a chat

0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:58.520
<v Speaker 3>to her a little bit later. And the Bogs Brewery

0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:00.640
<v Speaker 3>just down the road. Have we sampled bobes that all

0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:01.360
<v Speaker 3>my friends?

0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:05.000
<v Speaker 1>I thought so? How many have sampled it in the

0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:07.440
<v Speaker 1>past fifteen minutes? Yeah, that's good.

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:09.200
<v Speaker 3>Enough all right? How many are planning to in the

0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:10.120
<v Speaker 3>next fifteen minutes.

0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:12.880
<v Speaker 1>Hey, there we go, all right, excellent, don't worry.

0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:14.400
<v Speaker 3>It's all on Andrew Bolt. So you can drink as

0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:17.480
<v Speaker 3>much as you want. Okay, that's all right, He'll be fine.

0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:18.240
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:20.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we have a look at how they make it,

0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:21.880
<v Speaker 3>where they make it, and the good people that are

0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:25.400
<v Speaker 3>behind all of that. But first let's talk about the

0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:27.280
<v Speaker 3>news that is around today. And I'm going to say

0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:29.920
<v Speaker 3>something that normally I wouldn't say, but I would gladly

0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:32.840
<v Speaker 3>say to you, the good people of Long Syst not

0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:34.560
<v Speaker 3>a lot happened today, so we can focus on some

0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:36.959
<v Speaker 3>good news for a moment or two here. I know

0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:38.920
<v Speaker 3>that there's a protest stuff. We'll deal with that, of

0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:41.840
<v Speaker 3>course once we get back to the man Cave tomorrow.

0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:45.199
<v Speaker 3>But as you know, the King and Queen are bouncing around.

0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:48.240
<v Speaker 3>They are doing so in Sydney right now. And who

0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:49.720
<v Speaker 3>cares about your view on this?

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:53.040
<v Speaker 1>This is just nice, all right. Australia had a nice

0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:54.559
<v Speaker 1>day today. I'm sorry.

0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:57.880
<v Speaker 3>It's not as exciting as the sky's falling in. It's

0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:01.120
<v Speaker 3>that we had a nice day today. They went to

0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 3>church in Sydney, they went to the New South Wales

0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:07.240
<v Speaker 3>Parliament as well, and people turned up. They turned up

0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:10.160
<v Speaker 3>in their thousands and they had a good day. And

0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:13.440
<v Speaker 3>by extension, these pictures go around the world. Beautiful weather,

0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:16.000
<v Speaker 3>nice people, a nice day to feel Australia.

0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:18.280
<v Speaker 1>There's a special moment.

0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:20.280
<v Speaker 3>We just said on the Great Vine, ran down on

0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:22.240
<v Speaker 3>the bus and we did not expect to be shaking

0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:22.919
<v Speaker 3>hands with the King.

0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:24.680
<v Speaker 4>We're both like shaking now and had.

0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:28.560
<v Speaker 5>A conversation with them, quite a conversation. Welcomed into Australia,

0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:31.080
<v Speaker 5>said how well he's doing, and he was just like

0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:33.040
<v Speaker 5>as a fabulous and it's just lovely to be here

0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:34.440
<v Speaker 5>in such a warm welcome.

0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 2>Really fine and hype exciting.

0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:39.040
<v Speaker 6>We were just walking fast and we sold a cloud

0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.680
<v Speaker 6>and we just started a step back and quite excited

0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:42.400
<v Speaker 6>to see the king.

0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:44.399
<v Speaker 7>Not because a very cain for a sense, very nice

0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:44.880
<v Speaker 7>to meet him.

0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:48.519
<v Speaker 3>You see what I like about what you just saw,

0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:51.079
<v Speaker 3>Their modern Australia. Right, it doesn't matter where and how

0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:52.639
<v Speaker 3>long and all the rest of it, but people who

0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:54.919
<v Speaker 3>enjoyed a good moment, same as the good people over

0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:56.760
<v Speaker 3>in Perth raising millions of dollars when it comes to

0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:59.200
<v Speaker 3>their telephone as well. We are a good people. We

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.519
<v Speaker 3>deserve to take a moment or two to enjoy a

0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:05.040
<v Speaker 3>good day. Today was a very good day in terms

0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:07.840
<v Speaker 3>of what they were doing, and of course, his Majesty

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.800
<v Speaker 3>a couple of moments caught on microphones today about what

0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:11.400
<v Speaker 3>he was doing.

0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:16.760
<v Speaker 8>Having been with you for your one hundred and fiftieth anniversary,

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:22.000
<v Speaker 8>I am delighted and proud to be able to return

0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 8>to the Parliament of New South Wales in order to

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:30.800
<v Speaker 8>celebrate the occasion of your base and tinery.

0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:32.760
<v Speaker 3>Now, I always think about this when you know royal

0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:35.640
<v Speaker 3>visits or prime ministers or presidents come to Australia. Do

0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:38.400
<v Speaker 3>you think that there's any chance that you know, there's

0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:40.320
<v Speaker 3>a secret tour that none of us see, where they

0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:41.920
<v Speaker 3>just go up the Cross for the rest of the night,

0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:45.400
<v Speaker 3>no cameras. Who knows what's really happening behind the scenes.

0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:47.880
<v Speaker 3>When Camilla and Charles are off, they're just having a

0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:50.440
<v Speaker 3>dinner party in some random person's house, which could be

0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:52.360
<v Speaker 3>the reason why my mum told us we always had

0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 3>to have a clean room.

0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:54.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, just in case.

0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 3>Maybe this happened once that the Queen was going to

0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:59.600
<v Speaker 3>turn up, and maybe that's what's happening tonight.

0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Right now.

0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:01.880
<v Speaker 3>Who knows, But anyway, I love you, Mum. I'm glad

0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:04.720
<v Speaker 3>you're watching all right. As for what they did today

0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:06.400
<v Speaker 3>in the plans for the next little while, he is

0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:07.120
<v Speaker 3>our reporters.

0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:12.160
<v Speaker 7>Royal watchers lined Saint Thomas Anglican Church ahead of their

0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 7>Majesty's first public appearance at a Sunday service. It's the

0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:19.960
<v Speaker 7>first time they've seen the royals in Australia as King

0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:23.640
<v Speaker 7>and Queen. There were smiles from young and old people,

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:27.080
<v Speaker 7>waved flags and presented their majesties with flowers.

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:29.600
<v Speaker 5>Thank you very much for the reply.

0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:33.679
<v Speaker 7>They were greeted by dignitaries and carried out formalities.

0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:39.400
<v Speaker 3>But today a star was born. She is four years

0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:41.760
<v Speaker 3>old and her name is Gabriella. Have a look at

0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:45.919
<v Speaker 3>her full curtsy for the Queen and the King. She

0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:48.760
<v Speaker 3>apparently had been practicing this for days and days. Look

0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:51.479
<v Speaker 3>at that little kiddy in the bottom. Ride a good.

0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:54.560
<v Speaker 1>Right, Australia had a good day to DAYE. Australia had

0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:55.640
<v Speaker 1>a good dyna DAYE.

0:04:57.040 --> 0:05:00.320
<v Speaker 3>What a gorgeous little girl. Lots of other people who

0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:02.240
<v Speaker 3>turned up again. Lots of great photos that are up.

0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:03.839
<v Speaker 3>You can see all this at sky News dot com

0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:06.480
<v Speaker 3>dot Au were on lots of other places as people

0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:08.800
<v Speaker 3>had the chance to meet a king that maybe they

0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:11.279
<v Speaker 3>had seen before as a prince, but kids having that

0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:12.559
<v Speaker 3>once in a lifetime moment.

0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:14.560
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was awesome. I really do. Now.

0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:17.279
<v Speaker 3>As for the usual types, they say it's time to

0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:21.960
<v Speaker 3>flick the king, just wait, really, regardless of your opinion

0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:24.200
<v Speaker 3>on this stuff, I think the majority of Australians are

0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:26.800
<v Speaker 3>not interested in a referendum on anything anytime soon. Right,

0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:28.960
<v Speaker 3>we had a big one last year, four hundred and

0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:30.880
<v Speaker 3>fifty million dollars. You're going to have to wait. Oh,

0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:34.000
<v Speaker 3>but that didn't stop the Turnbull Times. King Charles is

0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:37.880
<v Speaker 3>not the adversary of an Australian republic. But the time

0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:40.440
<v Speaker 3>has come, hasn't it for the crown to go whatever?

0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:43.279
<v Speaker 3>Over In the Financial Review they're editorializing that it's time

0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:45.880
<v Speaker 3>for an Australian republic. Look, if it happens, it happens.

0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:47.720
<v Speaker 3>But till then, put us sock at it and just

0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:51.080
<v Speaker 3>let people like Gabriella have a lovely day in Australia.

0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:54.440
<v Speaker 3>All right, Let's let them do it now. Lots of

0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:57.159
<v Speaker 3>people got bugged over by one of the banks this weekend.

0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.760
<v Speaker 3>No giant surprise, but become off bank if of course

0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:04.000
<v Speaker 3>the nation's largest, and the glitch and I'd love.

0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:06.960
<v Speaker 1>And they get to say glitch. Right, If the purpose

0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:08.680
<v Speaker 1>of your business is to.

0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:11.719
<v Speaker 3>Be able to have people have access to your money

0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:13.400
<v Speaker 3>and have enough of that money left over that you

0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:15.560
<v Speaker 3>can access the money, then you didn't really.

0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:17.679
<v Speaker 1>Do your job this weekend. It's not a glitch.

0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:20.800
<v Speaker 3>Okay, A glitch would be me randomly talking about how

0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:24.080
<v Speaker 3>great the greens are. But other than that, and that

0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:28.160
<v Speaker 3>gleachain happening people that gleech ain't happening anytime soon, all right.

0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:31.360
<v Speaker 1>Well, so they had a change in there.

0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:34.320
<v Speaker 3>They're systems that meant that people were being double billed

0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:37.200
<v Speaker 3>for things that they had already paid for. His Channel

0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:39.000
<v Speaker 3>seven explaining exactly what happened.

0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:44.320
<v Speaker 2>An alarming morning message alerting customers to a banking blunder.

0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:48.960
<v Speaker 2>Transactions doubled, leaving them out of pocket, and accounts emptied.

0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:51.760
<v Speaker 9>It said that it was overdrawn my account and therefore

0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:53.200
<v Speaker 9>I did pay Combank back.

0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:56.920
<v Speaker 2>Recent payments charged by Commonwealth Bank a second time at

0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:59.120
<v Speaker 2>a time when every dollar counts.

0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:03.360
<v Speaker 3>Unsurprisingly, the pr people from the Comonwealth Bank were out

0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:06.080
<v Speaker 3>and about and they were saying, not which bank, but

0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:07.120
<v Speaker 3>sorry bank.

0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:11.680
<v Speaker 2>Commonwealth Bank have apologized to customers, saying they're aware of

0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:16.080
<v Speaker 2>the duplicate transactions. Their teams are working urgently to reverse season.

0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:18.440
<v Speaker 2>Any phase charge will be refunded.

0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:21.920
<v Speaker 9>Customers don't need to take action to ensure this takes place.

0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:27.040
<v Speaker 1>We will do it automatically on their behalf. All right,

0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:28.120
<v Speaker 1>here's an idea.

0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:30.560
<v Speaker 3>If you're going to force everyone to have to do

0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:33.880
<v Speaker 3>everything over the internet, when the internet stuffs up, you

0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:37.400
<v Speaker 3>have to compensate in the same way that Optus.

0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Well, they had the wrong type of compensation when they

0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:40.880
<v Speaker 1>turned around and.

0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:43.800
<v Speaker 3>Said free data, more data than you would normally use. Therefore,

0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:46.720
<v Speaker 3>it's not really a giveaway. Here's an idea. What about

0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:50.680
<v Speaker 3>no charges for the next month or so on tap

0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:50.920
<v Speaker 3>and go?

0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:51.760
<v Speaker 1>What about that?

0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:53.840
<v Speaker 3>Just as a simple idea, you turn it off, you've

0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:55.800
<v Speaker 3>got a mega profit. You'll lose a little bit more.

0:07:55.840 --> 0:08:00.840
<v Speaker 3>But that's what's called paying for a glitch. Now, as

0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:03.000
<v Speaker 3>we know that the Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Aberanez,

0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:09.239
<v Speaker 3>the greatest leader of all time. Right, sorry to the people,

0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:10.760
<v Speaker 3>have been dragged along by people.

0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:13.800
<v Speaker 1>Going what show am I watching? All right?

0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:16.360
<v Speaker 3>Well, as you know, he had a great week last week.

0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:19.440
<v Speaker 3>He showed that he's down with the people by buying

0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:23.000
<v Speaker 3>a four point three million dollar investment property for when

0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:25.960
<v Speaker 3>eventually he's going to retire, which may or may not

0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:29.240
<v Speaker 3>be sooner than he's actually planning. The reason I say

0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:31.160
<v Speaker 3>that is because the same Block who used to be

0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:35.680
<v Speaker 3>a Labor Senator for Queensland has written in the past

0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:38.640
<v Speaker 3>and the Financial Review, looking at the data about polling

0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:41.840
<v Speaker 3>and demographics and other issues, that he thinks it's maybe

0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:44.319
<v Speaker 3>not just a minority government, but maybe a change at

0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:47.280
<v Speaker 3>the upcoming election. He previously wrote about a month ago

0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:49.320
<v Speaker 3>that when we add it all up, we find that

0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:52.160
<v Speaker 3>Labor will lose thirteen seats. They go from seventy eight

0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:55.320
<v Speaker 3>currently to sixty five. Coalition may well be up seventeen

0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:57.480
<v Speaker 3>from fifty five to seventy two. Now I told you

0:08:57.520 --> 0:08:58.839
<v Speaker 3>at the time, I think that's a little bit hot,

0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:02.080
<v Speaker 3>a little bit sort of wishful thin. But he's doubled down,

0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:06.040
<v Speaker 3>particularly after the pole results that are playing out in

0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:10.400
<v Speaker 3>places around the country, but also the events that took

0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:13.280
<v Speaker 3>place last week, because the threat of course to Labor

0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:16.320
<v Speaker 3>comes when it comes to power, It'll come from the

0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:18.560
<v Speaker 3>Liberal National Party or the LNP when it comes to

0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:20.800
<v Speaker 3>some of their representation, it's going to be the Greens

0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:24.520
<v Speaker 3>where if they end up finishing second or even potentially third,

0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:27.040
<v Speaker 3>because remember their primary vote is the lowest it's been

0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:29.520
<v Speaker 3>in more than one hundred years, well then a whole

0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:30.400
<v Speaker 3>lot of weird things.

0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Are going to happen.

0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:33.559
<v Speaker 3>So what he wrote in the Financial Review this weekend

0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:35.319
<v Speaker 3>was the Labour's chances.

0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Of holding onto power was slim now way for thin.

0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:40.560
<v Speaker 3>Let me read a month ago Anthony Albernezi had a

0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:43.120
<v Speaker 3>slim chance of remaining the Prime minister after the next election.

0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:46.000
<v Speaker 1>But over the past week the slim chance has disappeared.

0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:46.840
<v Speaker 1>He says.

0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:48.720
<v Speaker 3>If you have a look at the Queensland election, which

0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:51.720
<v Speaker 3>will be focused on next week, well you'll be able

0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.160
<v Speaker 3>to see there what's going to happen in certain seeds.

0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:56.840
<v Speaker 3>Double check and think about whether people are starting to

0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:59.560
<v Speaker 3>move to the left or the right, particularly in area's

0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:01.800
<v Speaker 3>Labor are banking on to be able to hold on.

0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:04.040
<v Speaker 3>If we see the Labor Party lose some of its

0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:07.760
<v Speaker 3>lower income primary votes to people like the Greens, or

0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:11.000
<v Speaker 3>lower income voters to the Coalition, than the electoral odds

0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:15.520
<v Speaker 3>favorite Dutton winning outright in twenty twenty five, so we'll

0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:17.560
<v Speaker 3>all see what happens. You also thinks the failures of

0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:20.720
<v Speaker 3>the Labor Party in Victoria at the moment could be

0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:21.800
<v Speaker 3>a particular issue.

0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:23.240
<v Speaker 1>And don't forget there's a third of.

0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:25.400
<v Speaker 3>The country that's trying to pay off a house after

0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:29.280
<v Speaker 3>those interest rates have gone up by a dozen times

0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:31.640
<v Speaker 3>since this bloke became Prime minister. But I don't want

0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:34.000
<v Speaker 3>you to think that Peter Dutton had an amazing weekend.

0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:36.360
<v Speaker 3>In fact, he had quite a traumatic experience, one that

0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:37.760
<v Speaker 3>may well force him out.

0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:38.640
<v Speaker 1>Of Australian politics.

0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:44.160
<v Speaker 3>He was sort of he was speaking about nuclear power

0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:48.280
<v Speaker 3>and he was, as the ABC reported, heckled by protesters.

0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:52.079
<v Speaker 3>Look at how many protesters heckled him.

0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:55.000
<v Speaker 1>This was the lead story.

0:10:54.640 --> 0:11:00.200
<v Speaker 3>On their freaking website one, two, three, four five. And

0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:02.599
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to be kind the two people up in

0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:08.120
<v Speaker 3>the back. They were convinced by the protests. Seven people

0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:10.400
<v Speaker 3>is enough to get you a headlined on Channel two.

0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:12.319
<v Speaker 3>But that's all right, we pay for it regardless of

0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:14.800
<v Speaker 3>whether you like it or not. All right, let's turn

0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:18.719
<v Speaker 3>our attention to Queensland right now, where today the LNP, well,

0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:21.000
<v Speaker 3>they launched their campaign for the election, which will be

0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:24.720
<v Speaker 3>taking place on Saturday. What the election result is going

0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:26.440
<v Speaker 3>to be, New Pole's going to show that it is

0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:29.480
<v Speaker 3>exactly as I predicted, a little tighter than maybe some

0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:33.400
<v Speaker 3>people thought. Now, remember half most likely of all people

0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:37.040
<v Speaker 3>in Queensland will vote before election day, which is why

0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:40.480
<v Speaker 3>the Labor Party had their launch last week and because

0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:43.320
<v Speaker 3>the other half are getting ready for this weekend.

0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:46.559
<v Speaker 1>That's why the LNP went. Now, Now, there.

0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:50.880
<v Speaker 3>Was a lady who was very strongly represented, and I'll

0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:52.559
<v Speaker 3>get to that in the moment, But first, David Cruci

0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:56.480
<v Speaker 3>fully potentially six days away from wiping out Labor.

0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.679
<v Speaker 9>Under our plan, we will make sure the youth offenders

0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:05.640
<v Speaker 9>are doing something productive for themselves. Don't want to go

0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:10.559
<v Speaker 9>to class today, well, too bad, you are going. If

0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:13.480
<v Speaker 9>the state is taking over the responsibility of their care,

0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:19.120
<v Speaker 9>we must ensure we use their time to become better people.

0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:23.200
<v Speaker 3>Now I said that there was a person who loomed large.

0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:27.760
<v Speaker 3>Violine White is the grandmother who was stabbed in front

0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:28.920
<v Speaker 3>of her grandchild.

0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Why because she went to the shops on a Saturday afternoon.

0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:35.200
<v Speaker 3>The court process will play out and do what it does,

0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:37.439
<v Speaker 3>but it was the line in the sand for many

0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:40.480
<v Speaker 3>people in Queensland who had enough about youth crime and

0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:43.000
<v Speaker 3>it was a major push why David Cruso fully is

0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:45.559
<v Speaker 3>trying to put in place laws which is adult crime

0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:49.080
<v Speaker 3>equals adult time. Her family have now formerly endorsed the

0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:51.520
<v Speaker 3>Liberal Party and a change of government at the upcoming election.

0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:55.000
<v Speaker 3>Her husband who you can imagine any invocation of her

0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:57.400
<v Speaker 3>name would break his heart while he was there battling

0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:01.920
<v Speaker 3>for Violeine's law. Her daughter also spoke today ahead of

0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:05.880
<v Speaker 3>the official launch of the campaign. This was powerful stuff.

0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:09.560
<v Speaker 3>This will in my view, put the nail.

0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:12.079
<v Speaker 1>Right through the Labor Party up there.

0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:17.040
<v Speaker 10>There's no other options. Well, Labor and Stephen Miles have

0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:21.120
<v Speaker 10>run from the Queensland youth victim crisis when all other

0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:27.440
<v Speaker 10>victims of any crisis, we watched David and the LMP

0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:31.040
<v Speaker 10>team take it head on. I'm one of the few

0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:37.280
<v Speaker 10>Queenslanders who have looked both Stephen Miles and David Chrysti

0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:40.160
<v Speaker 10>fully straight in the eye and that is why I

0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:44.360
<v Speaker 10>will be voting for David Chris fully and his LMP team.

0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:49.080
<v Speaker 3>Amazing stuff, Queensland. Six days you know what to do.

0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:49.800
<v Speaker 1>See you later.

0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:51.679
<v Speaker 3>I'll be there with the Domestos on Saturday night to

0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:54.880
<v Speaker 3>cailing away what maybe we're left off that government looking

0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:57.840
<v Speaker 3>forward to it. Now, let's talk quickly in America because

0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:00.520
<v Speaker 3>the data is all starting now to treat one way,

0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:02.720
<v Speaker 3>and that is Donald Trump looks like he might be

0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:04.400
<v Speaker 3>about to win this upcoming election.

0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:08.240
<v Speaker 1>Lonnie, how do we feel about that? Yeah? Good de

0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:09.360
<v Speaker 1>scene all right now.

0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:11.160
<v Speaker 3>When it comes to the latest book, he's fifty seven

0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:12.040
<v Speaker 3>forty two in.

0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:15.440
<v Speaker 1>Favor of Donald Trump. However, there are.

0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:17.400
<v Speaker 3>Individual bets which have been really big, which have helped

0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:18.240
<v Speaker 3>fiddle with that number.

0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:19.760
<v Speaker 1>But still, let's look at the polls.

0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:22.840
<v Speaker 3>One, two, three or seven of the swing states currently

0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:25.120
<v Speaker 3>on average are going Trump's way.

0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:27.640
<v Speaker 1>Also, when it comes to the prediction.

0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:29.920
<v Speaker 3>Models, Nate Silver, who have told you before, he says

0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:32.680
<v Speaker 3>fifty one forty eight Trump is a chance of winning.

0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:36.160
<v Speaker 3>When it comes to the five point thirty eight, they

0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:38.600
<v Speaker 3>now have Trump in front two saying he's fifty two

0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:40.520
<v Speaker 3>out of one hundred times likely to win when they

0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:42.040
<v Speaker 3>run everything through the computers.

0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:45.200
<v Speaker 1>So it's all looking good when it comes to the data.

0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:47.760
<v Speaker 3>However, in lefty Land, for those who of course hate Trump,

0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:49.800
<v Speaker 3>they only saw one story this weekend, which was that

0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:51.960
<v Speaker 3>there was problems at a rally, which meant that he

0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:55.360
<v Speaker 3>was apparently wandering around stage for eight eight minutes, not

0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:56.720
<v Speaker 3>actually delivering.

0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:58.560
<v Speaker 1>Huge speeches on all of that.

0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:02.680
<v Speaker 3>As for Harris, she was being endorsed by, among others, Usher,

0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:06.280
<v Speaker 3>and of course she is doubling down at the moment

0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:09.080
<v Speaker 3>on her central message when it comes to it's a

0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:14.080
<v Speaker 3>nice jacket, very big caller though. Anyway, the doubling down

0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:18.520
<v Speaker 3>on changing the making sure that Trump does not win. Now,

0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:20.160
<v Speaker 3>for those of us in Trump Land, what did we

0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:22.320
<v Speaker 3>see this weekend? Well, we saw Trump being endorsed by

0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:25.240
<v Speaker 3>the Undertaker, and by that I mean the former multiple

0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:29.600
<v Speaker 3>World Wrestling Federation champion, the Undertaker and Cain.

0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:33.080
<v Speaker 1>He also was endorsed by steel workers.

0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:37.160
<v Speaker 3>In Pennsylvania, and he told a fantastic locker room story

0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:39.440
<v Speaker 3>which will offend every lefty that you know about the

0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:43.200
<v Speaker 3>golf and great Arnold Palmer. Roll the tape and hold on.

0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:44.080
<v Speaker 1>To your pearls.

0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:48.320
<v Speaker 6>This is a guy that was old man.

0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:51.320
<v Speaker 1>His man was strong and tough.

0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:55.840
<v Speaker 6>And I refused to say it, but when he took

0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:58.600
<v Speaker 6>showers with the other pros that came out of there,

0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:05.800
<v Speaker 6>they said, oh my god, that's unbelievable. I had to

0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:08.080
<v Speaker 6>say it.

0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:13.000
<v Speaker 1>I love that so much. I really want to repay it.

0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:14.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to play it every single night this week

0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:17.240
<v Speaker 3>because I think it's the most inappropriately.

0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Wonderful thing I've seen in a long time.

0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:20.720
<v Speaker 3>All Right, let's focus here in and around Long System,

0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:22.400
<v Speaker 3>this part of our town. Thanks for the very good

0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:24.840
<v Speaker 3>people of Harvey Norman Bridget Archier is of course like

0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:27.440
<v Speaker 3>a federal MP in the federal electorate of Bass and

0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:29.160
<v Speaker 3>we were able to talk to her about what it's

0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:43.320
<v Speaker 3>like to represent this area, perhaps its most beautiful area.

0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Well, Bridget, this is one hell of an office. We're

0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:49.360
<v Speaker 1>all not bad.

0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:52.880
<v Speaker 5>We're here in Lonceston's beautiful Cataract Gorge and this is

0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:55.960
<v Speaker 5>the first base in here with the city of Lonceessant

0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:56.640
<v Speaker 5>swimming Pool.

0:16:57.320 --> 0:17:00.000
<v Speaker 1>That's where else would you want to be? This year

0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:02.320
<v Speaker 1>is the perfect spring day.

0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:05.000
<v Speaker 3>The second you get off the plane, you feel the air,

0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:08.479
<v Speaker 3>you feel the people. But to have resources like this,

0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:10.560
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I'd love to tell you this is a

0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:12.439
<v Speaker 3>three hour drive out from No, it's not.

0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:14.720
<v Speaker 1>It's ten minutes. Ten minutes from the CBD.

0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:18.200
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and you can see even today we had terrible

0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:21.399
<v Speaker 5>weather yesterday but a bit of sun and people are

0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:24.160
<v Speaker 5>out and enjoying this part of the city and it's

0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:25.200
<v Speaker 5>right on their doorstep.

0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:27.800
<v Speaker 1>So let's talk about the town, this area your seat.

0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:30.399
<v Speaker 3>How are you feeling about things, not politically, but just

0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:33.000
<v Speaker 3>the vibe of the place. How does it feel compared

0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:34.720
<v Speaker 3>to when you first ran a few years ago.

0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:42.399
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, look, I think it's mixed in some ways. I

0:17:42.440 --> 0:17:45.480
<v Speaker 5>think it's a really exciting time for Northern Tasmania and

0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:49.240
<v Speaker 5>there's a lot of positive things happening and there's been

0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:52.520
<v Speaker 5>some great, you know, tourism developments. I'm always surprised to

0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:55.840
<v Speaker 5>see some new small businesses opening every couple of weeks

0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:58.920
<v Speaker 5>and it's great to see, like I said, people having

0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:01.359
<v Speaker 5>a go. And I think they're a real and always

0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:04.720
<v Speaker 5>has been a real entrepreneurial spirit in Launceston. You know,

0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:07.280
<v Speaker 5>it's really We've just celebrated this week the one hundred

0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:10.600
<v Speaker 5>and seventy fifth birthday of the Launceston Chamber of Commerce,

0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:13.560
<v Speaker 5>one of the oldest in the country, and I think

0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:17.040
<v Speaker 5>it speaks to the kind of entrepreneurial spirit that we

0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:20.840
<v Speaker 5>have here in Northern Tasmania. But you want everyone to

0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:23.440
<v Speaker 5>benefit from that as well.

0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:26.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, absolutely, and you know, we all know that promise

0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:28.120
<v Speaker 3>has made and all the rest of it that haven't

0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:28.840
<v Speaker 3>come true.

0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:31.560
<v Speaker 1>But I've got to say, and this is all over

0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:32.679
<v Speaker 1>the country right there's.

0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:35.560
<v Speaker 3>A rivalry between Townsville and Cairns.

0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh who's better, who's great?

0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:40.600
<v Speaker 3>There is obviously a divide at times between North and

0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:44.280
<v Speaker 3>South Tasmania, so much so that there are separate public holidays,

0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:46.240
<v Speaker 3>separate public holidays.

0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:47.040
<v Speaker 5>And very different beers.

0:18:47.119 --> 0:18:50.840
<v Speaker 3>This is it, So tell us the North of the South.

0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:54.520
<v Speaker 3>What makes the two different? What's different about a Northerner

0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:57.120
<v Speaker 3>than someone down around Hobah.

0:18:57.280 --> 0:19:01.000
<v Speaker 5>Look, I think it is partly that sort of contrast

0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:07.040
<v Speaker 5>between you know, Hobart's the kind of capital city center

0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:09.400
<v Speaker 5>of the kind of public service, that sort of thing,

0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:14.320
<v Speaker 5>and then Launceston I think really founded on that kind

0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:19.640
<v Speaker 5>of small business, entrepreneurial you know, mums and dads having

0:19:19.640 --> 0:19:21.639
<v Speaker 5>a go and building a life for themselves. Like I

0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:24.720
<v Speaker 5>think it's a bit of a different sort of vibe.

0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:30.280
<v Speaker 5>But and yeah, there's there's a strong sort of parochialism.

0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:34.320
<v Speaker 5>I think that still exists. Mostly it's reasonably good natured

0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:38.040
<v Speaker 5>and of course it's diverse here in the North. I

0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:41.159
<v Speaker 5>think you've got Lonceston here as a kind of regional city.

0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:43.680
<v Speaker 5>We say, the greatest regional city in the world.

0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:46.840
<v Speaker 1>But then who's going to fight you on that today?

0:19:47.160 --> 0:19:48.840
<v Speaker 1>No one's fighting you on this today.

0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:53.760
<v Speaker 5>It's perfect. But also yeah, it's it's got this sort

0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:57.399
<v Speaker 5>of natural environment very close by as well, and then

0:19:57.480 --> 0:20:01.480
<v Speaker 5>right out into sort of rural areas, advanced manufacturing down

0:20:01.520 --> 0:20:03.880
<v Speaker 5>the river at Bell Bay, and you know there's a

0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:06.680
<v Speaker 5>diversity I think to the economy here in the North.

0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:09.080
<v Speaker 3>Well, look, no disrespect to the South, but in the North,

0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:10.400
<v Speaker 3>I love that classic cars.

0:20:10.400 --> 0:20:11.760
<v Speaker 1>They've got the Classic Car Museum.

0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:13.239
<v Speaker 3>They've even got an event that I think you're off

0:20:13.280 --> 0:20:16.600
<v Speaker 3>to a little bit later today. But just finally about

0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:19.760
<v Speaker 3>what you hope for this region in the next little while, right,

0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:21.960
<v Speaker 3>What are the types of things that you would like

0:20:22.040 --> 0:20:26.040
<v Speaker 3>to see you have that dream relationship between potentially yourself

0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:28.720
<v Speaker 3>in a government working with the state government.

0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:31.400
<v Speaker 1>Give us an idea of the types of what's next

0:20:31.400 --> 0:20:32.520
<v Speaker 1>about this joint good life.

0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:34.680
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, well, I think we really need to focus on

0:20:34.840 --> 0:20:39.080
<v Speaker 5>all of these natural assets that we have here in Lonceston.

0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:41.959
<v Speaker 5>Both in terms of these sort of natural assets mean

0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:46.200
<v Speaker 5>it's a really high potential for a tourism area and

0:20:46.240 --> 0:20:48.520
<v Speaker 5>there's a lot of growth been undertaken in that year.

0:20:48.600 --> 0:20:52.000
<v Speaker 5>More to do where now are you NESCo City of Gastronomy, Wow,

0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:57.240
<v Speaker 5>which is pretty cool, I think, and building a fermentation

0:20:57.800 --> 0:21:00.960
<v Speaker 5>world class fermentation center just another ten minutes out of

0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:05.639
<v Speaker 5>town to value add to our agricultural industries. But we

0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:10.280
<v Speaker 5>also still you know, we have other advanced manufacturing industries

0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:11.840
<v Speaker 5>here that have been here for a long time where

0:21:11.840 --> 0:21:14.760
<v Speaker 5>I live at Georgetown, you know Belbaluminium, It's been there

0:21:15.200 --> 0:21:17.960
<v Speaker 5>no seventy years or something now, providing a lot of

0:21:18.040 --> 0:21:20.560
<v Speaker 5>jobs for people. But we need to make sure that

0:21:21.080 --> 0:21:24.360
<v Speaker 5>everybody has the opportunity to benefit from that. We need

0:21:24.400 --> 0:21:27.439
<v Speaker 5>to recognize that we do have some challenges as an island,

0:21:27.480 --> 0:21:29.520
<v Speaker 5>and you would see there's a bit of an inquiry

0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:32.560
<v Speaker 5>going on at the moment into freight equalization for example.

0:21:33.520 --> 0:21:37.720
<v Speaker 5>So we need to just keep building on that entrepreneurial

0:21:38.119 --> 0:21:41.560
<v Speaker 5>spirit that exists here and giving people the opportunity to

0:21:42.640 --> 0:21:46.439
<v Speaker 5>do what they do best. And for May as a liberal,

0:21:46.520 --> 0:21:48.080
<v Speaker 5>that means, you know, you have a government that kind

0:21:48.080 --> 0:21:48.919
<v Speaker 5>of gets other way.

0:21:48.960 --> 0:21:54.080
<v Speaker 3>A little bit across that's Northern Tasmania.

0:21:54.280 --> 0:21:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Lonnie.

0:21:54.680 --> 0:21:57.040
<v Speaker 3>You've got a wonderful representative in Bridge at all the

0:21:57.040 --> 0:21:58.280
<v Speaker 3>best for the upcoming election.

0:21:58.320 --> 0:22:01.320
<v Speaker 1>But more importantly I have passion you are about the place.

0:22:01.320 --> 0:22:03.280
<v Speaker 1>I love how you're represented on the national stage. So

0:22:03.359 --> 0:22:05.600
<v Speaker 1>congratulations to you. It's good to see you in Lillipool.

0:22:08.960 --> 0:22:10.919
<v Speaker 3>I like Richards, is a nice light and very passionate

0:22:10.920 --> 0:22:13.520
<v Speaker 3>about a community. It's a seat that can of course

0:22:13.600 --> 0:22:16.000
<v Speaker 3>pass and Brandon normally sort of one term, as she

0:22:16.119 --> 0:22:17.720
<v Speaker 3>would be at the first to be going for three

0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:19.560
<v Speaker 3>terms in quite a while.

0:22:19.600 --> 0:22:21.080
<v Speaker 1>A man I also knows that to represent this.

0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:24.120
<v Speaker 3>Part of Tasmania is Michael Ferguson. Michael Ferguson, gi him around,

0:22:24.160 --> 0:22:24.919
<v Speaker 3>applause of course.

0:22:26.480 --> 0:22:29.360
<v Speaker 1>How are you mate? Yeah, really good, good good, got

0:22:30.520 --> 0:22:31.400
<v Speaker 1>so good to be here.

0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:36.160
<v Speaker 3>That gorge is not fourteen you know, not a four

0:22:36.160 --> 0:22:40.280
<v Speaker 3>hour drive. It's ten minutes out of town. I love

0:22:40.440 --> 0:22:44.360
<v Speaker 3>that at Lon Seston, in any particular direction, you can

0:22:44.440 --> 0:22:46.639
<v Speaker 3>have a change of scenery, a new thing to do.

0:22:46.880 --> 0:22:49.080
<v Speaker 3>You can spend much more than just a weekend here.

0:22:49.320 --> 0:22:50.760
<v Speaker 3>That gorge in particular.

0:22:50.359 --> 0:22:50.960
<v Speaker 1>Is just beautiful.

0:22:51.160 --> 0:22:52.439
<v Speaker 11>You can go to the gorge, you can go to

0:22:52.440 --> 0:22:53.760
<v Speaker 11>the mountain, you can go to the beach, you can

0:22:53.760 --> 0:22:55.760
<v Speaker 11>go to the river. You go to the wilderness. You know,

0:22:55.840 --> 0:22:58.240
<v Speaker 11>within twenty or sixty minutes of the city.

0:22:58.720 --> 0:22:59.520
<v Speaker 1>You've got a lot of choice.

0:22:59.520 --> 0:23:01.720
<v Speaker 11>Where spoil here in Northern Tassim. We're glad you're here.

0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:02.359
<v Speaker 1>Thank you.

0:23:02.400 --> 0:23:04.800
<v Speaker 3>So give us an idea when you're in the harder

0:23:04.840 --> 0:23:07.800
<v Speaker 3>government and you're trying to fight for this area, what

0:23:07.840 --> 0:23:10.359
<v Speaker 3>are the sorts of things that this area wants of

0:23:10.800 --> 0:23:11.600
<v Speaker 3>state government.

0:23:12.560 --> 0:23:16.440
<v Speaker 11>People in Northern Tasmania want government to focus on their

0:23:16.600 --> 0:23:21.000
<v Speaker 11>everyday needs, desires, the goals they've got for their families.

0:23:21.000 --> 0:23:24.199
<v Speaker 11>They're less interested, in my opinion, on what peak bodies

0:23:24.200 --> 0:23:26.680
<v Speaker 11>and so called stakeholders have got to say. You know

0:23:26.720 --> 0:23:29.920
<v Speaker 11>what I'm talking about, And government does need to listen

0:23:29.920 --> 0:23:31.880
<v Speaker 11>to stakeholders and peak bodies, but they've got to listen

0:23:31.960 --> 0:23:35.320
<v Speaker 11>to the people of the community and focus on them.

0:23:35.359 --> 0:23:36.440
<v Speaker 11>Often they don't have a voice.

0:23:36.520 --> 0:23:37.160
<v Speaker 1>Often they're not.

0:23:37.440 --> 0:23:40.800
<v Speaker 11>Loud voices, and it does fall to the politicians to

0:23:41.400 --> 0:23:45.040
<v Speaker 11>use wise judgment. Be careful who we're listening to. Don't

0:23:45.080 --> 0:23:47.960
<v Speaker 11>just go into parliament repeating what the last person said

0:23:48.000 --> 0:23:50.720
<v Speaker 11>to you. Go and listen to the people in the supermarkets,

0:23:50.720 --> 0:23:53.320
<v Speaker 11>in their homes, in their churches, in their schools.

0:23:53.400 --> 0:23:55.520
<v Speaker 3>One of the many things I'm sure it's deeply frustrating

0:23:55.600 --> 0:23:58.320
<v Speaker 3>if you are in front of the process. But the

0:23:58.359 --> 0:24:01.480
<v Speaker 3>thing I love most about Lonzessene Bass in this area

0:24:01.480 --> 0:24:03.840
<v Speaker 3>in particular is they're not afraid of getting up in

0:24:03.880 --> 0:24:04.280
<v Speaker 3>your face.

0:24:04.359 --> 0:24:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Right, They'll do it. You're a space now, this is it? Right?

0:24:08.800 --> 0:24:10.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you've got a good hour as soon as we're

0:24:10.720 --> 0:24:13.520
<v Speaker 3>off the air. But what that's like because obviously it

0:24:13.600 --> 0:24:15.120
<v Speaker 3>keeps you in check. It make sure that you don't

0:24:15.119 --> 0:24:17.680
<v Speaker 3>get too distracted by the hobart of everything.

0:24:17.840 --> 0:24:20.960
<v Speaker 11>Maybe that's why Northern Tasmania the seed of bass that

0:24:21.040 --> 0:24:24.440
<v Speaker 11>Bridget represents for us so well, maybe that's why it's marginal.

0:24:24.560 --> 0:24:28.399
<v Speaker 11>Maybe it's because people are not sold just on a

0:24:28.400 --> 0:24:31.679
<v Speaker 11>particular personal party, but they are interested in those who

0:24:31.720 --> 0:24:34.760
<v Speaker 11>are going to focus on their family, their community, their river,

0:24:34.840 --> 0:24:36.000
<v Speaker 11>their school, their hospital.

0:24:36.480 --> 0:24:38.840
<v Speaker 3>So in terms of all of those competing interests, again,

0:24:38.920 --> 0:24:42.480
<v Speaker 3>the sense of Tasmania from outside of Tasmania is that

0:24:42.520 --> 0:24:44.919
<v Speaker 3>they are often sort of these tectonic plates that at

0:24:45.000 --> 0:24:50.480
<v Speaker 3>times are not necessarily pushing in the right direction. How

0:24:50.520 --> 0:24:53.639
<v Speaker 3>do you manage those tectonic plates.

0:24:54.000 --> 0:24:57.679
<v Speaker 11>A great question. Well, pick an example like forestry. Like

0:24:57.840 --> 0:25:01.080
<v Speaker 11>forestry has been cast over time and time again, and

0:25:01.119 --> 0:25:04.720
<v Speaker 11>it's always been, well frequently been the case that a

0:25:04.760 --> 0:25:08.160
<v Speaker 11>state like Tasmani that actually does forestry really well, whether

0:25:08.200 --> 0:25:12.640
<v Speaker 11>it's native sustainable forest practices or plantation and getting into

0:25:12.680 --> 0:25:16.600
<v Speaker 11>some new industries and new and clever products, it doesn't

0:25:16.640 --> 0:25:19.919
<v Speaker 11>necessarily follow that just what's good for our community and

0:25:19.960 --> 0:25:22.719
<v Speaker 11>our state is something that will find its way into

0:25:22.760 --> 0:25:27.680
<v Speaker 11>a mainstream labor party policy, because there are mainland capital

0:25:27.760 --> 0:25:31.800
<v Speaker 11>till seats and voters to appeal to Greens and labor left,

0:25:31.840 --> 0:25:35.119
<v Speaker 11>and so they can sway the major party, in particular

0:25:35.160 --> 0:25:37.240
<v Speaker 11>on the left of politics. And yet our people are

0:25:37.240 --> 0:25:38.920
<v Speaker 11>the ones who have to pay the price. It's happening

0:25:38.960 --> 0:25:41.159
<v Speaker 11>in our on salmon. We've got to watch that like

0:25:41.200 --> 0:25:44.080
<v Speaker 11>a hawk. And we've got to protect these industries because

0:25:44.160 --> 0:25:46.760
<v Speaker 11>they're good industries and they're putting food on the tables

0:25:46.760 --> 0:25:47.480
<v Speaker 11>of our families.

0:25:47.520 --> 0:25:49.720
<v Speaker 1>Good Man, you're a wonderful representative. Thank you, Michael Post,

0:25:50.080 --> 0:25:52.800
<v Speaker 1>thank you. Give them around of reports. Good Man. Good Man,

0:25:52.840 --> 0:25:54.639
<v Speaker 1>all right, stayed there because I've got a quick break.

0:25:55.040 --> 0:25:56.680
<v Speaker 3>In a moment or two's time, back to her in

0:25:56.760 --> 0:25:59.240
<v Speaker 3>Monceys and takes you good people of Parvey. Norman harry

0:25:59.240 --> 0:26:01.959
<v Speaker 3>On Tidmus will talk to her and other star athletes.

0:26:01.960 --> 0:26:04.359
<v Speaker 3>There must be something in the water here because it's amazing.

0:26:11.960 --> 0:26:14.439
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back in a long cistern. We are having a

0:26:14.440 --> 0:26:15.119
<v Speaker 1>great time.

0:26:15.400 --> 0:26:18.959
<v Speaker 3>Ariana Tipmas is of course a multiple Australian, a multiple

0:26:18.960 --> 0:26:20.120
<v Speaker 3>Olympic gold medal winner.

0:26:20.200 --> 0:26:22.320
<v Speaker 1>She did such incredible things in Tokyo.

0:26:22.400 --> 0:26:24.919
<v Speaker 3>We remember that as the panacea to what it was

0:26:24.960 --> 0:26:26.360
<v Speaker 3>like to be locked up at home to see how

0:26:26.359 --> 0:26:27.879
<v Speaker 3>well she did and how excited.

0:26:27.800 --> 0:26:28.480
<v Speaker 1>Her coach was.

0:26:28.560 --> 0:26:31.240
<v Speaker 3>Of course, she went on to even greater success in Paris.

0:26:31.520 --> 0:26:33.760
<v Speaker 3>That in part is because of the commitment that Harvey

0:26:33.800 --> 0:26:36.280
<v Speaker 3>Norman have had to her. They've saw her coming for

0:26:36.320 --> 0:26:39.720
<v Speaker 3>a very long time. She's very proud Australian, very proud Tasmanian.

0:26:39.760 --> 0:26:41.359
<v Speaker 3>It was in honor to have a chapter her a

0:26:41.400 --> 0:26:44.960
<v Speaker 3>bit earlier. She is an Olympic champion and she is

0:26:45.040 --> 0:26:48.720
<v Speaker 3>particularly proud of where we are tonight, that being beautiful Tasmania,

0:26:48.800 --> 0:26:51.080
<v Speaker 3>because she's from this part of the world. Ariana Tipmas

0:26:51.200 --> 0:26:53.960
<v Speaker 3>joins us now. Congratulations and thank you so much for

0:26:54.000 --> 0:26:54.760
<v Speaker 3>the chat mate.

0:26:57.280 --> 0:26:59.440
<v Speaker 12>Hi Paul, thanks for having me so.

0:26:59.560 --> 0:27:02.280
<v Speaker 3>At First things first, where do you put the gold medals?

0:27:02.280 --> 0:27:04.439
<v Speaker 3>Where do they go? Are they back at mum and

0:27:04.520 --> 0:27:06.840
<v Speaker 3>Dad's Do you keep them by the bedside?

0:27:07.720 --> 0:27:09.360
<v Speaker 1>What do you do? Because you've got a few.

0:27:09.200 --> 0:27:12.720
<v Speaker 12>Now, Yeah, they're actually living in a few pairs of

0:27:12.800 --> 0:27:14.840
<v Speaker 12>socks that I got in Paris because they haven't got

0:27:14.880 --> 0:27:18.119
<v Speaker 12>their cases home on the freight yet. But they're in

0:27:18.200 --> 0:27:24.680
<v Speaker 12>the safe, in the socks, keeping them nice and cozy.

0:27:23.160 --> 0:27:25.359
<v Speaker 3>Very good, and the safe of course his name mystery location.

0:27:25.480 --> 0:27:29.200
<v Speaker 3>Let's not be specific everyone, please, Now, I always wanted

0:27:29.240 --> 0:27:33.080
<v Speaker 3>to ask you this right where when you feel that pressure,

0:27:33.160 --> 0:27:35.960
<v Speaker 3>and you feel the inevitable pressure of expectation, you feel

0:27:36.000 --> 0:27:39.280
<v Speaker 3>the pressure of being on a billboard, being somebody who

0:27:39.320 --> 0:27:42.080
<v Speaker 3>is more visible than most of the people on.

0:27:42.000 --> 0:27:44.960
<v Speaker 1>The team, how do you cleanse that out?

0:27:45.000 --> 0:27:48.600
<v Speaker 3>How do you make sure that when you're just prepping,

0:27:48.800 --> 0:27:52.880
<v Speaker 3>you're walking your way towards the blocks? I mean, how

0:27:52.880 --> 0:27:55.400
<v Speaker 3>could you not be thinking about twenty seven million people

0:27:55.440 --> 0:27:57.560
<v Speaker 3>at home that might be leaning into a television. But

0:27:58.040 --> 0:28:01.000
<v Speaker 3>how do you try to flush us out of your race?

0:28:03.920 --> 0:28:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:28:04.240 --> 0:28:08.000
<v Speaker 12>It actually is really challenging. I definitely felt it these

0:28:08.040 --> 0:28:10.440
<v Speaker 12>games more than ever. I actually, for the first time

0:28:10.440 --> 0:28:13.159
<v Speaker 12>in my career, worried what would happen if I was

0:28:13.200 --> 0:28:16.280
<v Speaker 12>to lose, which is something I've never never felt before.

0:28:16.359 --> 0:28:19.240
<v Speaker 12>But I think I'm pretty hard on myself as well.

0:28:19.440 --> 0:28:22.639
<v Speaker 12>I have really high expectations for my performances and I

0:28:22.720 --> 0:28:26.119
<v Speaker 12>expect highly of myself as as my coach, and so

0:28:26.160 --> 0:28:28.280
<v Speaker 12>I think I really try to think about that, and

0:28:28.280 --> 0:28:30.640
<v Speaker 12>that kind of like blurs out the rest of the pressure.

0:28:31.200 --> 0:28:33.200
<v Speaker 12>Of course, I want to some well for our country,

0:28:33.280 --> 0:28:36.040
<v Speaker 12>and that I think turning into a positive thing is

0:28:36.080 --> 0:28:39.360
<v Speaker 12>what drives me. Just turning the pressure to perform more

0:28:39.400 --> 0:28:43.000
<v Speaker 12>so into support and people just willing and wanting me

0:28:43.080 --> 0:28:45.680
<v Speaker 12>to win is actually a positive thing and I'd rather

0:28:45.760 --> 0:28:48.880
<v Speaker 12>have it than not. So I think it just the

0:28:48.920 --> 0:28:51.120
<v Speaker 12>way you look at it can change your outlook on it.

0:28:51.320 --> 0:28:54.600
<v Speaker 3>When you've won a gold medal, one assumes celebration is

0:28:54.640 --> 0:28:57.800
<v Speaker 3>not part of anything until the meat is over. But

0:28:58.640 --> 0:29:01.960
<v Speaker 3>do you reward yourself, you know, on the day you

0:29:02.160 --> 0:29:04.400
<v Speaker 3>win a gold medal with anything, like do you have

0:29:04.520 --> 0:29:08.280
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, sparkling water, not bottled water? What do

0:29:08.360 --> 0:29:10.800
<v Speaker 3>you do when you're in the middle of a competition

0:29:11.000 --> 0:29:12.680
<v Speaker 3>but you've won a gold medal and you kind of

0:29:12.720 --> 0:29:14.600
<v Speaker 3>want to go, well done, mate, well done.

0:29:15.960 --> 0:29:18.560
<v Speaker 12>So I got back to my bedroom after the four

0:29:18.640 --> 0:29:21.760
<v Speaker 12>hundred around one am, and I had a fred A frog.

0:29:23.000 --> 0:29:24.840
<v Speaker 12>But I couldn't treat myself too much. I had to

0:29:24.880 --> 0:29:26.240
<v Speaker 12>I had to wake I had to wake up the

0:29:26.240 --> 0:29:28.520
<v Speaker 12>next morning about eight o'clock to get out there and

0:29:28.600 --> 0:29:32.280
<v Speaker 12>race my two hundred heats. So Alfredo did it, and

0:29:32.320 --> 0:29:34.040
<v Speaker 12>you kind of just have to forget about the race

0:29:34.080 --> 0:29:37.400
<v Speaker 12>because I had the two hundred the next morning. So yeah,

0:29:37.400 --> 0:29:38.880
<v Speaker 12>a little bit of a little bit of chocky you

0:29:38.880 --> 0:29:39.400
<v Speaker 12>got me through.

0:29:39.560 --> 0:29:41.800
<v Speaker 3>Let's talk about outside the pool away from swing, right,

0:29:41.840 --> 0:29:45.160
<v Speaker 3>because you know fully rounded, normal person who believes lots

0:29:45.200 --> 0:29:47.920
<v Speaker 3>of things and loves lots of things outside of what

0:29:48.000 --> 0:29:50.719
<v Speaker 3>you do for a job. Give me an idea about

0:29:50.760 --> 0:29:53.480
<v Speaker 3>you know, what life is like outside of the pool,

0:29:53.520 --> 0:29:57.040
<v Speaker 3>all those times where you're not as aggressively training for something.

0:29:57.320 --> 0:29:59.520
<v Speaker 1>What will we find you doing? What do you like

0:29:59.640 --> 0:29:59.880
<v Speaker 1>to do?

0:30:00.880 --> 0:30:04.000
<v Speaker 12>In the past, I've probably been pretty mellow with my decisions.

0:30:04.880 --> 0:30:07.600
<v Speaker 12>Quiet dinner in a trip to the beach. I love

0:30:07.640 --> 0:30:11.200
<v Speaker 12>cooking things like that. But at the moment, I'm really

0:30:11.200 --> 0:30:14.440
<v Speaker 12>trying to live my best life. I've made myself as

0:30:14.440 --> 0:30:16.680
<v Speaker 12>busy as possible, which I'm really enjoying. I'm doing a

0:30:16.720 --> 0:30:18.800
<v Speaker 12>lot of speaking engagements and meeting a lot of people

0:30:18.840 --> 0:30:21.360
<v Speaker 12>and telling my story, which I'm really enjoying. Actually doing

0:30:21.400 --> 0:30:23.960
<v Speaker 12>a bit of work in the broadcast world in the media,

0:30:24.120 --> 0:30:27.320
<v Speaker 12>which I find comes really naturally to me, which I'm enjoying.

0:30:27.560 --> 0:30:30.200
<v Speaker 12>I'm spending as much time as possible with my friends

0:30:30.200 --> 0:30:33.120
<v Speaker 12>and family. I'm a huge sports fan outside of swimming,

0:30:33.240 --> 0:30:36.480
<v Speaker 12>so I've been to all the footy finals, which I've

0:30:36.480 --> 0:30:40.640
<v Speaker 12>thoroughly enjoyed. We're heading into spring racing carnival seasons, so

0:30:40.760 --> 0:30:43.320
<v Speaker 12>I will be at the Lexus Melbourne Cup and the

0:30:43.360 --> 0:30:46.160
<v Speaker 12>Melbourne Cup Carnival, which I'm excited for. So I'm just

0:30:46.280 --> 0:30:49.400
<v Speaker 12>kind of reveling in life at the moment, which is

0:30:49.480 --> 0:30:49.960
<v Speaker 12>really fun.

0:30:50.440 --> 0:30:52.960
<v Speaker 3>You do you or I made a final message for

0:30:52.960 --> 0:30:55.320
<v Speaker 3>everyone here in Tazzy. What do you want to say

0:30:55.320 --> 0:30:57.520
<v Speaker 3>to people about why Tazzy means what it does to you?

0:30:58.120 --> 0:31:01.120
<v Speaker 12>Tasmanian's punched above their weight and I'm so proud to

0:31:01.240 --> 0:31:04.040
<v Speaker 12>be from Tazzy. It will always be my home. I'll

0:31:04.040 --> 0:31:06.600
<v Speaker 12>always be Tasmanian, and I think more than anywhere in

0:31:06.600 --> 0:31:10.080
<v Speaker 12>the country, I've truly felt support from home and I

0:31:10.120 --> 0:31:13.280
<v Speaker 12>can't wait to give back as much as i can

0:31:13.360 --> 0:31:16.479
<v Speaker 12>to Tasmanians and meet as many fans as possible and

0:31:16.640 --> 0:31:19.240
<v Speaker 12>just kind of be down there and enjoy what is

0:31:19.320 --> 0:31:22.040
<v Speaker 12>my home state is. It truly is beautiful and I

0:31:22.080 --> 0:31:25.160
<v Speaker 12>think every Australian should really get down there and experience

0:31:25.240 --> 0:31:27.240
<v Speaker 12>what Tazzy has to offer, because it's truly one of

0:31:27.280 --> 0:31:29.640
<v Speaker 12>the best places in the world. And I've traveled a lot,

0:31:29.720 --> 0:31:32.760
<v Speaker 12>but I'm being serious and saying that its scenery is

0:31:32.800 --> 0:31:36.120
<v Speaker 12>beautiful and I really am proud to be from there.

0:31:36.480 --> 0:31:38.640
<v Speaker 1>I agree with you one hundred times over. Thank you

0:31:38.640 --> 0:31:39.400

<v Speaker 3>you're taking on the world. So congratulations, enjoy the break

0:31:57.400 --> 0:31:58.640
<v Speaker 3>and whatever you want to do after that.

0:32:16.000 --> 0:32:17.160
<v Speaker 13>viney ladies and gentlemen.

0:32:18.800 --> 0:32:23.800
<v Speaker 1>Pressure pressure, all right, so Paralyinki.

0:32:23.840 --> 0:32:25.320
<v Speaker 3>And there's lots of notes that I have, but let's

0:32:25.360 --> 0:32:26.760
<v Speaker 3>get rid of those. Let's just have a good old

0:32:26.800 --> 0:32:27.760
<v Speaker 3>fashioned chat, all right.

0:32:27.960 --> 0:32:30.160
<v Speaker 1>What was terrorist like? Did you like it? I did?

0:32:30.200 --> 0:32:30.640
<v Speaker 1>I loved it.

0:32:30.680 --> 0:32:31.560
<v Speaker 14>I love this more.

0:32:32.600 --> 0:32:37.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh, let's just have a chat. When did you first

0:32:37.040 --> 0:32:37.680
<v Speaker 1>start competing?

0:32:38.040 --> 0:32:38.240
<v Speaker 12>Oh?

0:32:38.400 --> 0:32:41.520
<v Speaker 14>I came into the world of parisport about six years ago,

0:32:41.840 --> 0:32:44.920
<v Speaker 14>a little bit under that and yeah, within three months,

0:32:45.080 --> 0:32:48.080
<v Speaker 14>I was actually thrown into the world of the national team.

0:32:48.200 --> 0:32:50.720
<v Speaker 14>So competition came at me hard and fast and it

0:32:50.760 --> 0:32:51.920
<v Speaker 14>hasn't slowed down since then.

0:32:52.120 --> 0:32:54.040
<v Speaker 3>We had a chat to before and my sense of

0:32:54.040 --> 0:32:56.120
<v Speaker 3>your personality is that you can take it all in

0:32:56.160 --> 0:32:59.040
<v Speaker 3>your stride. But that's a lot to take in your stride.

0:32:59.160 --> 0:33:01.320
<v Speaker 14>Wow, you just said no pressure before and now you're

0:33:01.320 --> 0:33:05.280
<v Speaker 14>throwing this in me. Great, Okay, I'm glad that's what

0:33:05.320 --> 0:33:06.680
<v Speaker 14>you picked up about my personality.

0:33:06.760 --> 0:33:09.280
<v Speaker 3>So what I'm saying this is that what was your sinsult?

0:33:09.360 --> 0:33:12.280
<v Speaker 3>How did you deal with that? And has that changed

0:33:12.320 --> 0:33:14.560
<v Speaker 3>the more you've been exposed to things?

0:33:14.600 --> 0:33:19.840
<v Speaker 14>Because Paralympic's huge Yeah again, pressure, No, it was. It

0:33:19.880 --> 0:33:21.720
<v Speaker 14>was an honor straight away, but it was also something

0:33:21.760 --> 0:33:24.680
<v Speaker 14>that I dreamt about my whole life. I grew up

0:33:25.080 --> 0:33:27.479
<v Speaker 14>without a disability and acquired one at the age of eighteen,

0:33:28.040 --> 0:33:31.960
<v Speaker 14>and at that point that's when society said, Ali, you're

0:33:31.960 --> 0:33:34.440
<v Speaker 14>different now, so this isn't for you anymore. And I

0:33:34.480 --> 0:33:36.479
<v Speaker 14>didn't believe that or feel that, but it's what I

0:33:36.520 --> 0:33:38.920
<v Speaker 14>was faced with. So when I came back into the

0:33:38.920 --> 0:33:42.560
<v Speaker 14>world of sport, when my opportunity finally presented itself, I

0:33:42.640 --> 0:33:45.080
<v Speaker 14>was ready. I was an adult, and I just took it.

0:33:45.320 --> 0:33:47.719
<v Speaker 14>I took it as this is what I wanted. I'm

0:33:47.760 --> 0:33:48.880
<v Speaker 14>going to see how far I can go.

0:33:49.360 --> 0:33:53.600
<v Speaker 3>Now, when you're rowing, give us an idea about the

0:33:53.640 --> 0:33:57.120
<v Speaker 3>where the individual stops and where the team takes over. Obviously,

0:33:57.120 --> 0:33:59.320
<v Speaker 3>best case scenario, it's you and everyone else, if you're

0:33:59.360 --> 0:34:04.440
<v Speaker 3>all one giant whatever, right, But when you're trying to

0:34:04.480 --> 0:34:07.240
<v Speaker 3>get into that zone, are there processes?

0:34:07.280 --> 0:34:09.160
<v Speaker 1>Are their songs? Are their superstitions?

0:34:09.200 --> 0:34:11.960
<v Speaker 14>Wow? I mean all of the above. Rowing is a

0:34:12.000 --> 0:34:15.400
<v Speaker 14>really interesting sport. You're an individual right up until the

0:34:15.400 --> 0:34:18.120
<v Speaker 14>moment that you're selected. You're actually competing against everyone else

0:34:18.160 --> 0:34:20.560
<v Speaker 14>that's there. So we go through a trialing process. It's

0:34:20.760 --> 0:34:24.040
<v Speaker 14>back to back racing, and until your name is actually

0:34:24.040 --> 0:34:26.640
<v Speaker 14>called out, you don't know that you're actually in the team.

0:34:26.680 --> 0:34:29.320
<v Speaker 14>And when you become a team but that constant change,

0:34:29.719 --> 0:34:33.359
<v Speaker 14>having to make everything work until you're selected, like it

0:34:33.440 --> 0:34:35.680
<v Speaker 14>is individual but at the same time, you have to

0:34:35.680 --> 0:34:37.839
<v Speaker 14>be the best team player possible because if you miss

0:34:37.880 --> 0:34:40.279
<v Speaker 14>out on being that team player even once, that could

0:34:40.320 --> 0:34:43.680
<v Speaker 14>be your opportunity gone. So yeah, rowers are incredible. They're

0:34:43.920 --> 0:34:46.840
<v Speaker 14>very hard working individuals, but they're also the best teammates

0:34:46.840 --> 0:34:48.200
<v Speaker 14>that you could potentially come across.

0:34:48.400 --> 0:34:51.560
<v Speaker 3>So what's special about this area to you? And either

0:34:51.600 --> 0:34:54.840
<v Speaker 3>your ability to train? Can you train have that sporting

0:34:54.840 --> 0:34:56.680
<v Speaker 3>career here? Do you have to sort of live a

0:34:56.719 --> 0:34:59.359
<v Speaker 3>life here but then up to the performance and here

0:34:59.440 --> 0:35:02.240
<v Speaker 3>and this, that and the other. What role does Tazzy

0:35:02.360 --> 0:35:05.520
<v Speaker 3>playing in your athletic life at the moment?

0:35:05.840 --> 0:35:07.799
<v Speaker 14>What Tazzy plays is It's been the place that I've

0:35:07.800 --> 0:35:11.200
<v Speaker 14>come home to on the back of any campaign. There's

0:35:11.200 --> 0:35:13.759
<v Speaker 14>a lot of feelings and experiences that an athlete has

0:35:13.800 --> 0:35:17.600
<v Speaker 14>gone through. And when I landed back from Paris, one

0:35:17.640 --> 0:35:19.400
<v Speaker 14>of the first places I wanted to come was home.

0:35:20.400 --> 0:35:22.759
<v Speaker 14>It's where my family, it's where I grew up. It's familiar,

0:35:22.960 --> 0:35:25.240
<v Speaker 14>and it feels safe. And when you have put everything

0:35:25.239 --> 0:35:27.280
<v Speaker 14>out there in front of the whole world and whether

0:35:27.320 --> 0:35:32.160
<v Speaker 14>you've reached metal potential, you've reached your potential. You need

0:35:32.200 --> 0:35:35.640
<v Speaker 14>that safety net and to come home and feel safe, supported,

0:35:35.760 --> 0:35:39.880
<v Speaker 14>and also celebrated as well, because as an athlete, we

0:35:39.920 --> 0:35:42.560
<v Speaker 14>are so tough on ourselves and sometimes you just need

0:35:42.600 --> 0:35:46.840
<v Speaker 14>people to say wow, like what you're doing is amazing,

0:35:46.880 --> 0:35:49.000
<v Speaker 14>and what you're doing for the community is amazing, and

0:35:49.040 --> 0:35:50.600
<v Speaker 14>you kind of lose sight of that sometimes when you

0:35:50.640 --> 0:35:54.120
<v Speaker 14>are competing. So to come home and be embraced by

0:35:54.120 --> 0:35:57.719
<v Speaker 14>the Tazi community has has been the best medicine.

0:35:57.760 --> 0:36:00.480
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, of my life.

0:36:01.160 --> 0:36:05.400
<v Speaker 3>Give us an idea about your expectations outside of outside

0:36:05.400 --> 0:36:08.359
<v Speaker 3>of what would you like to to do or you're

0:36:08.400 --> 0:36:11.680
<v Speaker 3>working on a career goal or the nature of training

0:36:11.760 --> 0:36:13.040
<v Speaker 3>means you can't do that stuff.

0:36:13.560 --> 0:36:15.440
<v Speaker 1>What do you want to do? No? Not when you

0:36:15.719 --> 0:36:17.360
<v Speaker 1>What do you want to be when you? When I

0:36:17.360 --> 0:36:17.680
<v Speaker 1>grow up?

0:36:17.800 --> 0:36:19.279
<v Speaker 14>What do I want to be? I want to be

0:36:19.280 --> 0:36:23.160
<v Speaker 14>a Paralympian forever. No, what I what I do outside?

0:36:23.400 --> 0:36:26.040
<v Speaker 14>I'm a qualified strengthen initially coach and sports scientist. I

0:36:26.080 --> 0:36:29.080
<v Speaker 14>worked in AFL and AFLW for quite a while and

0:36:29.080 --> 0:36:31.680
<v Speaker 14>then came into the world of rowing. But at the

0:36:31.680 --> 0:36:33.799
<v Speaker 14>moment I'm doing quite a lot of keynote speaking, so

0:36:34.560 --> 0:36:36.399
<v Speaker 14>I don't know why people bother to do that. Quite

0:36:36.440 --> 0:36:39.279
<v Speaker 14>good at waffling on the feelings, you know.

0:36:39.200 --> 0:36:41.759
<v Speaker 1>The feeling you can buy like a whole house, that's great,

0:36:43.840 --> 0:36:46.160
<v Speaker 1>one of those would be great. Too much time, but yeah,

0:36:46.160 --> 0:36:47.319
<v Speaker 1>you can eventually get a house.

0:36:48.360 --> 0:36:51.360
<v Speaker 14>Someone else can enjoy it. For me, no, at the moment,

0:36:51.920 --> 0:36:54.120
<v Speaker 14>for me, it's very important. We are eight years away

0:36:54.160 --> 0:36:57.120
<v Speaker 14>from Brisbane twenty thirty two, the Olympic and Paralympic home game.

0:36:57.200 --> 0:36:59.200
<v Speaker 1>You're so going to be there, well.

0:36:58.960 --> 0:37:01.600
<v Speaker 14>Hopefully maybe as the CEO, maybe as the Chef de mission,

0:37:01.719 --> 0:37:03.920
<v Speaker 14>hopefully not still as an athlete. I feel like I

0:37:04.000 --> 0:37:06.719
<v Speaker 14>might be a bit washed up by then. But in

0:37:06.760 --> 0:37:09.120
<v Speaker 14>the process, there is eight years to have conversations and

0:37:09.160 --> 0:37:12.680
<v Speaker 14>to let Tasmanians know that we are capable of performing

0:37:12.719 --> 0:37:15.080
<v Speaker 14>at the highest level. But also there are so many

0:37:15.160 --> 0:37:17.719
<v Speaker 14>jobs that are a part of getting athletes to the

0:37:17.719 --> 0:37:20.960
<v Speaker 14>world stage, and so it's for me, I spent eight

0:37:21.040 --> 0:37:23.799
<v Speaker 14>years wondering where I fit in. And now I have

0:37:23.920 --> 0:37:26.080
<v Speaker 14>eight years to help have the conversation to let the

0:37:26.120 --> 0:37:29.120
<v Speaker 14>whole community know that this is the most amazing thing.

0:37:29.200 --> 0:37:30.879
<v Speaker 14>Whether you want to be the athlete, whether you want

0:37:30.880 --> 0:37:35.279
<v Speaker 14>to be the doctor, the sports scientist, the commentator, the

0:37:35.320 --> 0:37:36.120
<v Speaker 14>world's your awso.

0:37:36.200 --> 0:37:36.480
<v Speaker 1>I can do it.

0:37:36.560 --> 0:37:40.240
<v Speaker 3>Anyone can help, so good to make you congratulations, Congratulations

0:37:40.280 --> 0:37:43.439
<v Speaker 3>you'll start stay there because I'm going to go help

0:37:43.480 --> 0:37:44.879
<v Speaker 3>pay for all of these things. Are the very good

0:37:44.880 --> 0:37:46.960
<v Speaker 3>people of Harvey Norman or like quick back in a

0:37:47.000 --> 0:37:47.560
<v Speaker 3>moment or two.

0:37:47.680 --> 0:37:49.439
<v Speaker 1>We are in long sense.

0:37:49.480 --> 0:38:00.200
<v Speaker 3>Then we are here in the King's Bridge By and

0:38:00.280 --> 0:38:04.160
<v Speaker 3>Restaurant in Lonceston. There's some amazing accommodation both here and

0:38:04.480 --> 0:38:07.120
<v Speaker 3>just up the road. Please come to lon cyst and

0:38:07.120 --> 0:38:10.160
<v Speaker 3>I say it all the time, see Australia. This is

0:38:10.480 --> 0:38:13.160
<v Speaker 3>a magnificent place. Not just for the weekend, stretch it

0:38:13.200 --> 0:38:16.279
<v Speaker 3>out of course, across the entire week. Now while you hear,

0:38:16.320 --> 0:38:17.920
<v Speaker 3>one of the things you can do is going to

0:38:17.960 --> 0:38:20.279
<v Speaker 3>have two of the Bogue's Brewery. It's exactly what we

0:38:20.400 --> 0:38:29.839
<v Speaker 3>did with our mate Charlie who doesn't know James Bogus, Well,

0:38:29.840 --> 0:38:31.120
<v Speaker 3>this is the place where they.

0:38:30.960 --> 0:38:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Make it here in lon Cisteon.

0:38:32.320 --> 0:38:35.160
<v Speaker 3>Charlie, thank you for having us a pleasure show us around.

0:38:35.160 --> 0:38:36.959
<v Speaker 1>But the story begins here.

0:38:37.520 --> 0:38:40.799
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's correct. In fact, the story begins even before this.

0:38:41.280 --> 0:38:44.200
<v Speaker 4>But this is eighteen eighty one. This is the original

0:38:44.200 --> 0:38:47.920
<v Speaker 4>facade of the Esque Brewery. So behind this and encompassing

0:38:47.920 --> 0:38:51.600
<v Speaker 4>the whole block is the longest continuously operating brewing side

0:38:51.640 --> 0:38:57.319
<v Speaker 4>in Tasmania, going all the way back to eighteen fifty three.

0:38:58.760 --> 0:39:00.200
<v Speaker 1>So, Charlie, where are we now are?

0:39:00.680 --> 0:39:02.920
<v Speaker 4>So where we are now is on the second floor

0:39:02.960 --> 0:39:06.200
<v Speaker 4>of our brewhouse, which has been open since two thousand

0:39:06.239 --> 0:39:06.680
<v Speaker 4>and nine.

0:39:07.440 --> 0:39:08.920
<v Speaker 1>This brewhouse is where we.

0:39:08.800 --> 0:39:14.200
<v Speaker 4>Will transform fifty thousand liters of water, barley and hops

0:39:14.480 --> 0:39:16.839
<v Speaker 4>into a liquid that will ferment and turn into beer.

0:39:17.320 --> 0:39:19.399
<v Speaker 4>There's a conveyor belt just up there pole which will

0:39:19.400 --> 0:39:22.040
<v Speaker 4>bring somewhere between six and eight tons of malted barley,

0:39:23.000 --> 0:39:24.560
<v Speaker 4>deposit it into.

0:39:24.120 --> 0:39:25.800
<v Speaker 1>This first vessel called the mash.

0:39:25.600 --> 0:39:28.200
<v Speaker 4>Ton, and we add thirty thousand liters of water. Now

0:39:28.239 --> 0:39:31.759
<v Speaker 4>we heat that up while heating the waterer. What will

0:39:31.800 --> 0:39:35.120
<v Speaker 4>be doing it will be dissolving the sugars that are

0:39:35.160 --> 0:39:38.280
<v Speaker 4>in those barley grains, and that sugar is the fermentable

0:39:38.320 --> 0:39:45.359
<v Speaker 4>sugar that we'll use to create the beer. Lad We've

0:39:45.360 --> 0:39:49.160
<v Speaker 4>got our first filtration process, which occurs here in the

0:39:49.239 --> 0:39:51.719
<v Speaker 4>laughter Ton. This has got a big false floor in

0:39:51.760 --> 0:39:54.480
<v Speaker 4>the bottom of it. We're gonna pump thirty thousand liters

0:39:54.480 --> 0:39:57.480
<v Speaker 4>of liquid over the top of that false floor.

0:39:57.640 --> 0:39:59.200
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna filter it out until.

0:39:59.040 --> 0:40:03.680
<v Speaker 4>The liquid runs and it looks something like We also

0:40:03.719 --> 0:40:06.120
<v Speaker 4>pump an extra twenty thousand liters of water over the

0:40:06.160 --> 0:40:11.080
<v Speaker 4>top of the remaining mash to extract the last microparticles

0:40:11.080 --> 0:40:12.560
<v Speaker 4>to give it better depth of flavor.

0:40:13.840 --> 0:40:15.480
<v Speaker 1>After that, we're.

0:40:15.280 --> 0:40:17.120
<v Speaker 4>Going to go to the third vessel, which sits further

0:40:17.160 --> 0:40:18.080
<v Speaker 4>along in the brew house.

0:40:19.880 --> 0:40:21.520
<v Speaker 1>And this third vessels called the Kettle.

0:40:21.560 --> 0:40:25.359
<v Speaker 4>It's pretty creative name, too much imagination to work out

0:40:25.400 --> 0:40:28.279
<v Speaker 4>what goes on in there. In this vessel, our work

0:40:28.320 --> 0:40:31.040
<v Speaker 4>will be boiled and this is where we add the hops.

0:40:31.400 --> 0:40:32.800
<v Speaker 4>At the end of all of this will have fifty

0:40:32.800 --> 0:40:35.239
<v Speaker 4>thousand leads of liquid and this is what we want

0:40:35.239 --> 0:40:35.600
<v Speaker 4>to ferment.

0:40:35.640 --> 0:40:38.000
<v Speaker 1>We turn into beer at the fermentations. Okay, let's check

0:40:38.000 --> 0:40:38.640
<v Speaker 1>out what's next.

0:40:42.719 --> 0:40:46.560
<v Speaker 3>So, Charlie, this looks very big and very important in

0:40:46.600 --> 0:40:47.080
<v Speaker 3>the process.

0:40:47.080 --> 0:40:49.480
<v Speaker 1>What are we about to see? He's very big and

0:40:49.520 --> 0:40:51.920
<v Speaker 1>it is very important. So what we've got.

0:40:51.760 --> 0:40:56.160
<v Speaker 4>Here, Paul, ten fermentation vessels. Each one of those is

0:40:56.239 --> 0:40:59.319
<v Speaker 4>two hundred and fifty thousand legs. So this is where

0:40:59.360 --> 0:41:02.200
<v Speaker 4>we're going to be added the fourth ingredient, which is yeast,

0:41:02.640 --> 0:41:05.000
<v Speaker 4>to ferment our liquid and turn it into beer over

0:41:05.040 --> 0:41:06.879
<v Speaker 4>the course of seven days. At the end of it,

0:41:07.000 --> 0:41:09.200
<v Speaker 4>the beer needs to be filtered one more time so

0:41:09.239 --> 0:41:11.080
<v Speaker 4>that we can put it into bottles, keeps, and cans,

0:41:11.080 --> 0:41:13.120
<v Speaker 4>so it's ready to be sold to a consumer.

0:41:13.200 --> 0:41:14.000
<v Speaker 1>So where did that happen.

0:41:14.280 --> 0:41:15.759
<v Speaker 4>That happens on the packaging line, which is at the

0:41:15.760 --> 0:41:17.040
<v Speaker 4>other end of the brewer, which is where we're going.

0:41:17.000 --> 0:41:20.719
<v Speaker 1>To go next. See the man knows his TV well done.

0:41:21.320 --> 0:41:28.840
<v Speaker 1>I've watched a bit of it, Dully.

0:41:28.960 --> 0:41:31.320
<v Speaker 3>I see nothing but an opportunity here. But I also

0:41:31.320 --> 0:41:33.920
<v Speaker 3>see systems that have been worked on and refined and

0:41:34.000 --> 0:41:38.000
<v Speaker 3>refined and refined. So tell us the final part of

0:41:38.040 --> 0:41:38.560
<v Speaker 3>the journey.

0:41:38.719 --> 0:41:43.080
<v Speaker 4>In this place, it summed up beautifully, very refined, highly automated.

0:41:43.239 --> 0:41:45.719
<v Speaker 4>We're at the start and finish of the bottling and

0:41:45.760 --> 0:41:49.319
<v Speaker 4>canning line here, about nine hundred to one thousand a

0:41:49.440 --> 0:41:52.840
<v Speaker 4>minute over the course of a twelve hour shift.

0:41:52.880 --> 0:41:54.440
<v Speaker 1>We can do the.

0:41:54.320 --> 0:41:57.239
<v Speaker 4>Best part of half a million units. As long as

0:41:57.280 --> 0:42:01.160
<v Speaker 4>everything goes according to plan, which is normally done half

0:42:01.160 --> 0:42:04.759
<v Speaker 4>a million bottles or King blimey, the roguody garments will

0:42:04.760 --> 0:42:07.799
<v Speaker 4>assemble the cartoners place them on a palette ready to

0:42:07.800 --> 0:42:08.520
<v Speaker 4>be dispatched.

0:42:08.840 --> 0:42:12.839
<v Speaker 3>Just offers little gift packs for Australia, exactly, just little

0:42:12.880 --> 0:42:16.680
<v Speaker 3>gift packs full of love, little packs of beery goodness, full.

0:42:16.480 --> 0:42:20.400
<v Speaker 4>Of love, full of creativity, all of love, passion, prime.

0:42:20.280 --> 0:42:22.239
<v Speaker 1>Correct, the perfect gift for Father's d.

0:42:28.520 --> 0:42:31.200
<v Speaker 3>Take it to Charlie and all the people approached, and

0:42:31.200 --> 0:42:33.279
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to say we've been lucky enough to be

0:42:33.360 --> 0:42:36.360
<v Speaker 3>shown around some pretty amazing things around the country. I

0:42:36.400 --> 0:42:38.680
<v Speaker 3>don't think I've seen a more passionate and more detailed

0:42:38.680 --> 0:42:41.600
<v Speaker 3>person than Charlie is about the job that he does.

0:42:42.040 --> 0:42:44.399
<v Speaker 3>And that's again one of those moments when you come

0:42:44.400 --> 0:42:46.640
<v Speaker 3>and you see a tour and you see somebody who

0:42:46.719 --> 0:42:48.880
<v Speaker 3>isn't just doing a job, but is passionate about it.

0:42:49.440 --> 0:42:53.160
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely fantastic bloke. So galated Charlie and his family. I'm

0:42:53.160 --> 0:42:55.160
<v Speaker 3>going to be watching right now. Karen and Michelle joined

0:42:55.200 --> 0:42:57.480
<v Speaker 3>us now from the Benevolent Society. Give them around of applause,

0:42:57.520 --> 0:43:00.719
<v Speaker 3>because what they do is you deal with the tough

0:43:00.719 --> 0:43:03.200
<v Speaker 3>stuff all right, and we don't shy away from it.

0:43:04.480 --> 0:43:07.239
<v Speaker 3>You know, in between all the other stuff that we

0:43:07.280 --> 0:43:09.640
<v Speaker 3>talk about on the show on a day to day basis,

0:43:10.280 --> 0:43:13.319
<v Speaker 3>I'm obsessed with the cost of living stuff because there's

0:43:13.360 --> 0:43:18.120
<v Speaker 3>a whole collection of people who are losing touch. It's

0:43:18.200 --> 0:43:21.960
<v Speaker 3>hurting harder and things are tougher. Give us an idea

0:43:22.000 --> 0:43:25.280
<v Speaker 3>about are you guys busier than you've been in a while?

0:43:25.360 --> 0:43:30.320
<v Speaker 15>Yeah, food relief now has really increased. We supplied food

0:43:30.320 --> 0:43:33.719
<v Speaker 15>relief to three and a half hours and long Sestonians

0:43:33.760 --> 0:43:37.799
<v Speaker 15>last year. The increase what we're getting through now, just

0:43:37.840 --> 0:43:40.640
<v Speaker 15>having to look at the figures the other day, June

0:43:40.719 --> 0:43:44.840
<v Speaker 15>and July had a twenty percent increase on January, February March.

0:43:46.080 --> 0:43:49.120
<v Speaker 3>So when things are getting better for others, they are

0:43:49.160 --> 0:43:52.640
<v Speaker 3>getting progressively worse and inevitably, Michelle, the types of people

0:43:52.680 --> 0:43:55.920
<v Speaker 3>that you're dealing with as well, there are a lot

0:43:55.960 --> 0:43:59.839
<v Speaker 3>of people who stereotypically people wouldn't think are the types

0:43:59.840 --> 0:44:00.919
<v Speaker 3>of people who need help.

0:44:01.120 --> 0:44:01.560
<v Speaker 1>That's correct.

0:44:01.600 --> 0:44:03.640
<v Speaker 16>There shouldn't be a stigma on it at all, because

0:44:04.160 --> 0:44:07.040
<v Speaker 16>there is absolutely no reason why. It's just not an

0:44:07.160 --> 0:44:11.160
<v Speaker 16>ordinary person who may be in financial crisis, there could

0:44:11.200 --> 0:44:13.160
<v Speaker 16>be addiction, there could be mental health, or it could

0:44:13.200 --> 0:44:14.719
<v Speaker 16>just be that they just can't.

0:44:14.520 --> 0:44:17.640
<v Speaker 1>Afford to live. So how do you try to break cycles?

0:44:17.640 --> 0:44:21.560
<v Speaker 3>How do you try to help this the immediate We'll

0:44:21.600 --> 0:44:24.080
<v Speaker 3>give you something to eat, will help you. How are

0:44:24.120 --> 0:44:29.640
<v Speaker 3>you able to push people towards services that mean they

0:44:29.680 --> 0:44:31.720
<v Speaker 3>can find a way to change things?

0:44:31.840 --> 0:44:33.759
<v Speaker 15>Yeah, So we've started doing a lot more work with

0:44:33.840 --> 0:44:38.800
<v Speaker 15>other societies like City Mission and Salvation Arm Anglicare So

0:44:38.960 --> 0:44:42.480
<v Speaker 15>we're emergency relief, so we supply food and furniture and

0:44:42.719 --> 0:44:45.799
<v Speaker 15>basically anything goes into a house where we can do

0:44:45.960 --> 0:44:50.000
<v Speaker 15>work with the other societies. Like last week, we had

0:44:50.040 --> 0:44:53.160
<v Speaker 15>a gentleman that's been homeless for three years. The City

0:44:53.200 --> 0:44:56.680
<v Speaker 15>Mission got him accommodation and Angler Care as sister to

0:44:56.719 --> 0:44:59.560
<v Speaker 15>get the accommodation for him. So that was three societies

0:44:59.600 --> 0:45:02.480
<v Speaker 15>doing the world together. So Brad from the City Mission

0:45:02.520 --> 0:45:06.839
<v Speaker 15>came to us and said, Karen, we've got Adam off

0:45:06.840 --> 0:45:09.280
<v Speaker 15>the streets after three years. Are you able to supply

0:45:09.719 --> 0:45:12.120
<v Speaker 15>furniture for him? And I said, not a problem at all,

0:45:12.120 --> 0:45:15.680
<v Speaker 15>bring him in. So Brad bought Adam in and walked

0:45:15.719 --> 0:45:17.880
<v Speaker 15>him around the place, Adam got to pick out his

0:45:17.920 --> 0:45:23.280
<v Speaker 15>own furniture. Yeah, and then the Salvation Army they dropped

0:45:23.280 --> 0:45:27.040
<v Speaker 15>off a dining table for him. So last week, Adam,

0:45:27.600 --> 0:45:31.279
<v Speaker 15>on Thursday night, Adam slept in his own unit, in

0:45:31.320 --> 0:45:33.880
<v Speaker 15>his own bed, with his own count.

0:45:35.360 --> 0:45:38.640
<v Speaker 1>Awesome, awesome, thank you for doing that.

0:45:38.840 --> 0:45:42.000
<v Speaker 3>Thank you also, and all those other services people are

0:45:42.040 --> 0:45:44.480
<v Speaker 3>Lonnie are awesome and are always there to help out.

0:45:44.520 --> 0:45:46.520
<v Speaker 1>How can they help out more? How can they resist?

0:45:47.040 --> 0:45:47.120
<v Speaker 12>Oh?

0:45:47.200 --> 0:45:49.440
<v Speaker 16>Look, we've got a lovely community here in non Systein.

0:45:50.280 --> 0:45:54.040
<v Speaker 16>Our only big fundraiser for the Society is our charity event,

0:45:54.400 --> 0:45:57.120
<v Speaker 16>which is on the ninth of November this year. It's

0:45:57.160 --> 0:45:59.839
<v Speaker 16>out under the stars, and we have so many local

0:45:59.840 --> 0:46:02.879
<v Speaker 16>businesses that just hand out to us, help us out

0:46:02.920 --> 0:46:06.360
<v Speaker 16>with wonderful action items and it all just works together.

0:46:06.680 --> 0:46:09.279
<v Speaker 16>We got wonderful businesses. We all support each other and

0:46:09.320 --> 0:46:10.600
<v Speaker 16>just help help us.

0:46:11.000 --> 0:46:12.240
<v Speaker 1>They just we're very lucky.

0:46:12.320 --> 0:46:14.719
<v Speaker 16>So our annual event coming up on the ninth of

0:46:14.760 --> 0:46:16.319
<v Speaker 16>November will be big and.

0:46:16.320 --> 0:46:17.839

0:46:42.960 --> 0:46:44.799
<v Speaker 3>get sometimes, but good on you for taking care of

0:46:44.840 --> 0:46:45.160
<v Speaker 3>each other.

0:46:47.920 --> 0:46:49.800
<v Speaker 1>It's awesome to be benevolent society.

0:46:50.000 --> 0:46:53.920

<v Speaker 3>All right, quick break back with more Japanese monkeys. Yes,

0:46:58.560 --> 0:47:00.920
<v Speaker 3>we're going to do the monkey thing you're saying at

0:47:00.960 --> 0:47:01.400
<v Speaker 3>the moment.

0:47:01.480 --> 0:47:03.479
<v Speaker 1>Here I'm pull my y line in long Sester.

0:47:09.760 --> 0:47:14.720
<v Speaker 3>Welcome back here, Yeah, welcome back here to Lon Cessteon.

0:47:14.840 --> 0:47:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:47:15.040 --> 0:47:17.160
<v Speaker 3>One of the wonderful things here was an exchange which

0:47:17.200 --> 0:47:20.200
<v Speaker 3>took place between the Sister City in Japan and Lon

0:47:20.280 --> 0:47:25.960
<v Speaker 3>System the Gift Monkeys.

0:47:28.320 --> 0:47:30.600
<v Speaker 1>We're in city park. We're here with Bridy. Bridie's a

0:47:30.800 --> 0:47:35.960
<v Speaker 1>zoologist zoo keeper. Oh no, no, come on, I've upgraded you.

0:47:36.360 --> 0:47:37.319
<v Speaker 1>What are we about to see?

0:47:37.360 --> 0:47:40.120
<v Speaker 3>Because this is this is one of the most season Lonnie.

0:47:40.200 --> 0:47:42.800
<v Speaker 17>It is it is so this is our famous for

0:47:42.960 --> 0:47:46.239
<v Speaker 17>all the locals call it monkey Park that we're about

0:47:46.239 --> 0:47:48.960
<v Speaker 17>to see our Japanese macackic exhibit. So we've got twenty

0:47:48.960 --> 0:47:50.759
<v Speaker 17>three Japanese macacs in the middle of city.

0:47:50.760 --> 0:47:52.719
<v Speaker 3>Pa squint hard enough, I'll be able to work out

0:47:52.719 --> 0:47:53.600
<v Speaker 3>one of them as my cousin.

0:47:54.120 --> 0:47:56.799
<v Speaker 17>Well, we actually share a ninety three percent DNA with

0:47:56.840 --> 0:47:57.440
<v Speaker 17>this species.

0:47:57.640 --> 0:48:00.879
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, long lost brother, long lost brother. Sorry Jayceon, thought

0:48:00.880 --> 0:48:12.040
<v Speaker 1>it was just you. Or I'll have a look. So

0:48:12.160 --> 0:48:15.120
<v Speaker 1>twenty three. Do they play? Do they fight, do they

0:48:15.320 --> 0:48:18.400
<v Speaker 1>like a bunch of toddlers? Or are they calm a

0:48:18.440 --> 0:48:19.400
<v Speaker 1>little bit of everything.

0:48:19.640 --> 0:48:23.480
<v Speaker 17>So we're ranging from nine months old all the way

0:48:23.480 --> 0:48:26.879
<v Speaker 17>to twenty seven years old. Oh wow, so we've got

0:48:26.880 --> 0:48:29.480
<v Speaker 17>pretty much everything in between. So yeah, twenty three, so

0:48:29.520 --> 0:48:33.000
<v Speaker 17>you've got a fair range of ages. So they play,

0:48:33.440 --> 0:48:37.120
<v Speaker 17>they fight, they get annoyed with each other, they love

0:48:37.160 --> 0:48:41.839
<v Speaker 17>each other. So this species they actually have friends. Wow,

0:48:41.880 --> 0:48:44.520
<v Speaker 17>they have their little friends group in there. We've got

0:48:44.520 --> 0:48:46.840
<v Speaker 17>some of our young ones that play with some of

0:48:46.840 --> 0:48:49.360
<v Speaker 17>our older ones, which is really nice to see. So

0:48:49.400 --> 0:48:53.719
<v Speaker 17>it's kind of like that grandpa and grandchild relationship going on.

0:48:54.160 --> 0:48:55.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so a little bit of everything.

0:48:55.520 --> 0:48:58.440
<v Speaker 17>Our dominant one is a twenty five year old female

0:48:58.800 --> 0:49:01.160
<v Speaker 17>who gets whenever she wants.

0:49:01.560 --> 0:49:04.279
<v Speaker 3>Fair enough, it makes perfect sense and I wouldn't argue

0:49:04.280 --> 0:49:05.239
<v Speaker 3>with that order at all.

0:49:05.719 --> 0:49:08.960
<v Speaker 17>They don't just groom each other to stay clean. They

0:49:09.000 --> 0:49:12.520
<v Speaker 17>also do it to say sorry, to show forgiveness, to

0:49:12.560 --> 0:49:15.839
<v Speaker 17>build up their close social bonds, but also to build

0:49:15.920 --> 0:49:17.839
<v Speaker 17>up their political rank as well.

0:49:17.960 --> 0:49:20.520
<v Speaker 1>Ah, yes, yes, yes, we're aware of that. We know

0:49:20.560 --> 0:49:23.120
<v Speaker 1>how that works pretty much. Have a look at this.

0:49:22.800 --> 0:49:27.040
<v Speaker 3>This is how you get numbers in a Japanese monkey

0:49:27.040 --> 0:49:29.680
<v Speaker 3>colony if you're trying to you know there are many

0:49:29.680 --> 0:49:31.840
<v Speaker 3>politicians around Australia who have done the same thing for

0:49:31.880 --> 0:49:35.319
<v Speaker 3>a vote, and clearly that's what you're willing to do

0:49:35.400 --> 0:49:35.920
<v Speaker 3>in this group.

0:49:37.480 --> 0:49:40.399
<v Speaker 1>Come have a look. No cuddles and don't feed them.

0:49:40.560 --> 0:49:48.879
<v Speaker 1>Love it to me, she is gorgeous. All right. That's

0:49:48.880 --> 0:49:50.799
<v Speaker 1>that say from Lon Sess And thank you very much

0:50:00.239 --> 0:50:02.279
<v Speaker 1>to be here. We'll see you back in the man

0:50:02.440 --> 0:50:05.680
