Violence erupted when the 32 00:02:02,054 --> 00:02:04,414 Speaker 1: March for Australia came face to face with the pro 33 00:02:04,454 --> 00:02:07,774 Speaker 1: Palestinian march in the city.

More than four hundred police officers 62 00:03:37,614 --> 00:03:41,094 Speaker 1: from Victoria plus interstate colleagues have been battling blizzard like 63 00:03:41,134 --> 00:03:44,734 Speaker 1: conditions as part of the Search climate campaign at Greta. 64 00:03:44,814 --> 00:03:47,734 Speaker 1: Dumburg has again joined a flotilla of boats loaded with 65 00:03:47,814 --> 00:03:50,894 Speaker 1: aid for Gaza, aiming to break Israel's naval blockade and 66 00:03:50,934 --> 00:03:54,734 Speaker 1: deliver food to the shouted enclave. Thousands of supporters gathered 67 00:03:54,734 --> 00:03:57,374 Speaker 1: at Barcelona's port to see off the boats, many of 68 00:03:57,374 --> 00:04:00,894 Speaker 1: them waving Palestinian flags. Dumberg telling the crowd that this 69 00:04:01,014 --> 00:04:03,934 Speaker 1: is a mission to challenge the extremely violent business as 70 00:04:04,014 --> 00:04:07,894 Speaker 1: usual international system that is failing to uphold international law. 71 00:04:08,174 --> 00:04:11,814 Speaker 1: The Swedish campaigner trying unsuccessfully to break Israel's long standing 72 00:04:11,894 --> 00:04:14,574 Speaker 1: naval blockade of Gaza by sailing to the territory in 73 00:04:14,654 --> 00:04:18,494 Speaker 1: June with other activists.

Twenty eight years after 75 00:04:21,774 --> 00:04:24,854 Speaker 1: her death, Princess Diana's brother has posted a photo of 76 00:04:24,894 --> 00:04:27,734 Speaker 1: flowers he left at her gravesite on a private island 77 00:04:27,774 --> 00:04:30,734 Speaker 1: where she's buried. Diana was killed in a car crash 78 00:04:30,734 --> 00:04:33,654 Speaker 1: in a Paris tunnel on August thirty one, nineteen ninety seven. 79 00:04:33,974 --> 00:04:36,654 Speaker 1: Her partner at the time, Dodie al Fayed, and her driver, 80 00:04:36,774 --> 00:04:39,854 Speaker 1: Henri Paul, also died after the car hit a pillar 81 00:04:39,934 --> 00:04:43,294 Speaker 1: inside the tunnel as they tried to escape the chasing paparazzi. 82 00:04:43,654 --> 00:04:46,214 Speaker 1: Her brother, Charles Spencer, posted a picture of the pink 83 00:04:46,214 --> 00:04:49,174 Speaker 1: and white bouquet he lefted his sister's grave site, as 84 00:04:49,174 --> 00:04:51,094 Speaker 1: well as a shot of the island itself, which from 85 00:04:51,094 --> 00:04:55,454 Speaker 1: the outside seems almost overgrown with greenery. Dutch runner Sifan 86 00:04:55,574 --> 00:04:57,934 Speaker 1: Hassan was the first woman to cross the finish line 87 00:04:57,934 --> 00:05:00,774 Speaker 1: of the Sydney Marathon yesterday, doing so in record time. 88 00:05:01,174 --> 00:05:03,454 Speaker 1: This is the first year the Aussie Marathon has been 89 00:05:03,454 --> 00:05:06,614 Speaker 1: included as part of the World Major's Events series Hassan 90 00:05:06,694 --> 00:05:09,294 Speaker 1: crossing the line in two hours, eighteen minutes and twenty 91 00:05:09,334 --> 00:05:12,974 Speaker 1: two two seconds, breaking the previous record held by Ethiopia's 92 00:05:13,054 --> 00:05:16,534 Speaker 1: Work in Eshadessa by more than three minutes. It seems 93 00:05:16,614 --> 00:05:19,374 Speaker 1: we've been duped into thinking a celebrity couple we hoped 94 00:05:19,414 --> 00:05:21,894 Speaker 1: could see them be each other's happily ever after was 95 00:05:21,934 --> 00:05:25,014 Speaker 1: nothing more than a pr stunt. Earlier this year's sources 96 00:05:25,054 --> 00:05:27,894 Speaker 1: confirmed that Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson, who'd met on 97 00:05:27,934 --> 00:05:30,134 Speaker 1: the set of the New Naked Gun movie, were in 98 00:05:30,174 --> 00:05:32,974 Speaker 1: fact an item, but TMZ were told on the weekend 99 00:05:32,974 --> 00:05:34,734 Speaker 1: that the pair had not seen each other in the 100 00:05:34,814 --> 00:05:37,774 Speaker 1: year since wrapping the movie, and only came together for 101 00:05:37,814 --> 00:05:41,494 Speaker 1: the press tour. All the reported dinner dates were business meetings, 102 00:05:41,574 --> 00:05:44,814 Speaker 1: their personal assistants also in attendance. All the red carpet 103 00:05:44,814 --> 00:05:47,654 Speaker 1: affection just the pair hamming it up for the cameras. 104 00:05:48,054 --> 00:05:57,894 Speaker 2: Thanks Claire. Next, our penalty rates finally safe. There's been 105 00:05:57,934 --> 00:06:02,254 Speaker 2: some big news for weekend holiday and overtime workers. Late 106 00:06:02,374 --> 00:06:06,774 Speaker 2: last week, Parliament passed the Fair Work Amendment aka protecting 107 00:06:06,814 --> 00:06:11,414 Speaker 2: penalty and overtime rates. So what's changed? Well, for the 108 00:06:11,454 --> 00:06:15,534 Speaker 2: two point six million ossies who work unsociable hours. Their 109 00:06:15,574 --> 00:06:19,014 Speaker 2: penalty and overtime pay is now locked in by law. 110 00:06:19,214 --> 00:06:22,614 Speaker 2: No more risk of seeing those extra rates cut, altered 111 00:06:22,774 --> 00:06:26,214 Speaker 2: or swapped for flat salaries. The government frames this as 112 00:06:26,254 --> 00:06:29,534 Speaker 2: a win for fairness and cost of living relief, especially 113 00:06:29,574 --> 00:06:32,734 Speaker 2: for the roughly sixty percent of award reliant workers who 114 00:06:32,774 --> 00:06:35,934 Speaker 2: are women, casuals, or under the age of thirty five. 115 00:06:36,374 --> 00:06:39,334 Speaker 2: It's a move the Prime Minister has celebrated, thinking back 116 00:06:39,374 --> 00:06:42,454 Speaker 2: to his own time working for penalty rates while studying too. 117 00:06:42,854 --> 00:06:46,094 Speaker 3: Penalty Rach for helping me get through UNI working Saturday 118 00:06:46,214 --> 00:06:48,854 Speaker 3: night shifts at Pancakes on the rocks ment. I could 119 00:06:48,894 --> 00:06:52,694 Speaker 3: still study and still pay the bills. I know how 120 00:06:52,774 --> 00:06:56,454 Speaker 3: much penalty rates matter. We've just passed new laws to 121 00:06:56,534 --> 00:07:00,574 Speaker 3: protect them for minimum and award wage workers, because if 122 00:07:00,614 --> 00:07:03,814 Speaker 3: you give up your nights, weekends and holidays, you deserve 123 00:07:04,094 --> 00:07:04,694 Speaker 3: fair pay. 124 00:07:05,374 --> 00:07:09,534 Speaker 2: But not everyone's convinced. Major retail and business groups argue 125 00:07:09,534 --> 00:07:12,974 Speaker 2: the new laws is too rigid, it ties employers' hands 126 00:07:12,974 --> 00:07:17,294 Speaker 2: and won't boost productivity is promised. The Australian Retailers Association 127 00:07:17,494 --> 00:07:21,654 Speaker 2: and National Retail Association say the bill now prevents employees, 128 00:07:21,854 --> 00:07:25,414 Speaker 2: especially in small businesses, from negotiating for a higher base 129 00:07:25,454 --> 00:07:29,414 Speaker 2: salary instead of penalty rates. Critics claim this could hurt 130 00:07:29,494 --> 00:07:33,414 Speaker 2: job security, could limit flexibility, and drown small businesses in 131 00:07:33,454 --> 00:07:37,174 Speaker 2: more red tape. Business leaders also worry the bill overrides 132 00:07:37,214 --> 00:07:40,414 Speaker 2: the independence of the Fair Work Commission, forcing a one 133 00:07:40,454 --> 00:07:44,534 Speaker 2: size fits all rule that ignores its sector differences. Ultimately, 134 00:07:44,854 --> 00:07:48,654 Speaker 2: while workers might welcome the protection, small retailers warn the 135 00:07:48,734 --> 00:07:53,054 Speaker 2: new system could dampen confidence and slow down economic growth. 136 00:07:54,294 --> 00:07:57,774 Speaker 2: Today marks the first day of September, and in my 137 00:07:57,974 --> 00:08:01,494 Speaker 2: mind that means it's supposed to be spring. But if 138 00:08:01,534 --> 00:08:05,214 Speaker 2: you're shivering through another frosty morning, you're not alone. In 139 00:08:05,294 --> 00:08:09,094 Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, Australia experienced one of the coldest starts 140 00:08:09,094 --> 00:08:13,294 Speaker 2: to winter in years, with Canberra hitting its chilliest beginning 141 00:08:13,414 --> 00:08:17,254 Speaker 2: in a quarter century. Eastern states dropped nearly ten degrees 142 00:08:17,294 --> 00:08:21,294 Speaker 2: below average, and ski resorts celebrated some of the deepest 143 00:08:21,294 --> 00:08:25,974 Speaker 2: snow in decades. Last week, Perth recorded its coldest day 144 00:08:26,094 --> 00:08:30,694 Speaker 2: in fifty years and its wettest winter since nineteen ninety six. 145 00:08:31,334 --> 00:08:35,134 Speaker 2: Just this weekend, gone severe weather warnings across three states, 146 00:08:35,174 --> 00:08:39,094 Speaker 2: including a polar outbreak anticipated one of the most widespread 147 00:08:39,094 --> 00:08:42,894 Speaker 2: snow events in years, so you'll forgive me for asking, 148 00:08:43,174 --> 00:08:46,094 Speaker 2: when the heck can I throw my flaseline leggings to 149 00:08:46,174 --> 00:08:48,854 Speaker 2: the back of my cupboard and start the wardrobe transition 150 00:08:49,094 --> 00:08:53,134 Speaker 2: to lighter layers and open toad shoes. First, we must 151 00:08:53,214 --> 00:08:57,254 Speaker 2: find out what's behind this chili hangover. Despite a brutal 152 00:08:57,334 --> 00:09:00,614 Speaker 2: June and July, the Bureau of Meteorology says the big 153 00:09:00,694 --> 00:09:04,974 Speaker 2: picture is still trending warm. Last year followed a similar pattern. 154 00:09:05,174 --> 00:09:08,054 Speaker 2: After a spell of frosty weather, Australia ended up with 155 00:09:08,094 --> 00:09:11,534 Speaker 2: its second warmest winter on record thanks to a balmi August. 156 00:09:11,814 --> 00:09:15,134 Speaker 2: This year's model pointed towards a warm ending, but was 157 00:09:15,174 --> 00:09:17,654 Speaker 2: that just false spring. If you think I've made that 158 00:09:17,774 --> 00:09:21,014 Speaker 2: term up, allow me to explain. Every year there's a 159 00:09:21,014 --> 00:09:25,294 Speaker 2: burst of unseasonable warmth that tricks us into thinking winters over. 160 00:09:25,934 --> 00:09:28,774 Speaker 2: It's actually a term often used in the gardening world, 161 00:09:29,054 --> 00:09:31,734 Speaker 2: meaning a patch of sunny days, often in late winter, 162 00:09:31,934 --> 00:09:35,854 Speaker 2: before cold snaps and frost returns. Gardeners are warned not 163 00:09:35,974 --> 00:09:38,614 Speaker 2: to rush into spring planting, even if the urge to 164 00:09:38,654 --> 00:09:41,974 Speaker 2: break out shorts or beach towels is strong. So when 165 00:09:42,054 --> 00:09:44,974 Speaker 2: will the warm weather actually stick around? For Good seven 166 00:09:45,014 --> 00:09:49,134 Speaker 2: News meteorologist Jane Bunn might have the answers, Jane, when 167 00:09:49,214 --> 00:09:53,894 Speaker 2: is this warmer weather coming and maybe more importantly staying well. 168 00:09:54,334 --> 00:09:57,814 Speaker 4: Often our weather doesn't actually follow the calendar. Think about 169 00:09:57,814 --> 00:10:00,774 Speaker 4: the big cold outbreak that came through over the weekend 170 00:10:01,214 --> 00:10:04,094 Speaker 4: and just how low the snow was of the gusty 171 00:10:04,174 --> 00:10:08,614 Speaker 4: winds and even felt as far north as Queensland. So yeah, 172 00:10:08,654 --> 00:10:11,014 Speaker 4: they had sun shine and Sydney two lots of sunshine, 173 00:10:11,014 --> 00:10:12,694 Speaker 4: but there was a real bite in the air. That 174 00:10:12,854 --> 00:10:15,414 Speaker 4: was because we had a cold outbreak moved through us, 175 00:10:15,414 --> 00:10:17,774 Speaker 4: a strong cold front that has winds that come from 176 00:10:17,894 --> 00:10:20,934 Speaker 4: near antarcticaunt in behind it and that barrel across the 177 00:10:20,974 --> 00:10:24,454 Speaker 4: southeast of the country. So it doesn't really matter what 178 00:10:24,534 --> 00:10:26,694 Speaker 4: time of year it is, we can always get these 179 00:10:26,734 --> 00:10:29,774 Speaker 4: particular weather systems comes through. So that's kind of why 180 00:10:29,814 --> 00:10:31,894 Speaker 4: the weather keeps us on our toes Now. If you're 181 00:10:31,894 --> 00:10:34,374 Speaker 4: wanting to know when the end of that is, you 182 00:10:34,454 --> 00:10:36,614 Speaker 4: need to have high pressure sit out to our east 183 00:10:36,654 --> 00:10:39,254 Speaker 4: in order for us to get northerly winds and bring 184 00:10:39,414 --> 00:10:41,454 Speaker 4: the warps from the interior of the country out to 185 00:10:41,454 --> 00:10:42,254 Speaker 4: the capital feast. 186 00:10:42,534 --> 00:10:45,614 Speaker 2: So does winter technically end then with the close of August, 187 00:10:45,654 --> 00:10:47,854 Speaker 2: are we now officially in what we know as spring 188 00:10:48,174 --> 00:10:50,174 Speaker 2: or is it? Does it move around a little bit? 189 00:10:50,494 --> 00:10:53,134 Speaker 4: Technically the calendar the end of the month is the 190 00:10:53,294 --> 00:10:56,614 Speaker 4: end of off winter and the start of spring, but 191 00:10:57,174 --> 00:10:59,214 Speaker 4: the weather systems don't always follow that pattern. 192 00:10:59,734 --> 00:11:02,534 Speaker 2: Has one state copped it more than others this winter? 193 00:11:02,614 --> 00:11:05,614 Speaker 2: Right now? We had a really frosty start. Canberra obviously 194 00:11:05,654 --> 00:11:08,814 Speaker 2: recording some record breaking temperatures their perth. It was their 195 00:11:08,854 --> 00:11:11,934 Speaker 2: wettest winter since ninety six. Has it been pretty even 196 00:11:12,014 --> 00:11:13,494 Speaker 2: killed across the country. 197 00:11:13,134 --> 00:11:16,294 Speaker 4: Though, it depends where you were in winter and again 198 00:11:16,334 --> 00:11:19,054 Speaker 4: where these weather systems were. So the southwest of the 199 00:11:19,094 --> 00:11:23,654 Speaker 4: countrypped cold outbreak after cold outbreak. They had speeds of 200 00:11:23,734 --> 00:11:26,094 Speaker 4: moisture coming in from the Indian Ocean. That meant that 201 00:11:26,134 --> 00:11:28,774 Speaker 4: when this low pressure moved through, there was heaps of 202 00:11:28,814 --> 00:11:30,734 Speaker 4: moisture to play with, and so that ended up being 203 00:11:30,774 --> 00:11:33,054 Speaker 4: lots and lots of rain. So they had an amazingly 204 00:11:33,054 --> 00:11:35,694 Speaker 4: wet winter. In the southeast, there was a lot of 205 00:11:35,894 --> 00:11:38,694 Speaker 4: high pressure that was kind of blocking the weather system. 206 00:11:38,774 --> 00:11:41,174 Speaker 4: So think of it kind of like a nightclub and 207 00:11:41,174 --> 00:11:42,814 Speaker 4: there's a bounce throughout the front and they've got their 208 00:11:42,854 --> 00:11:44,734 Speaker 4: click boord and they're standing there and they say, no, 209 00:11:44,854 --> 00:11:46,614 Speaker 4: you can't come in. And so that's kind of what 210 00:11:46,654 --> 00:11:48,534 Speaker 4: it was doing, was sitting out over the southeast and 211 00:11:48,534 --> 00:11:51,814 Speaker 4: it's blocking the entry of these systems. So that meant 212 00:11:51,974 --> 00:11:54,894 Speaker 4: that the cold fronts et cetera were kind of sliding 213 00:11:54,934 --> 00:11:58,374 Speaker 4: across the southeast and not delivering the main punch of 214 00:11:58,414 --> 00:11:59,254 Speaker 4: a winter system. 215 00:11:59,534 --> 00:12:02,854 Speaker 2: Can you explain this idea of false spring to us? 216 00:12:02,894 --> 00:12:05,214 Speaker 2: It feels like a few weeks ago we started to 217 00:12:05,214 --> 00:12:08,254 Speaker 2: see those temperatures creep up into like the low to 218 00:12:08,334 --> 00:12:10,694 Speaker 2: mid twenties, and then there were even a few days 219 00:12:10,694 --> 00:12:12,614 Speaker 2: where I didn't have to wear my big coat to work. 220 00:12:12,734 --> 00:12:14,134 Speaker 2: But what actually does that mean? 221 00:12:15,214 --> 00:12:18,054 Speaker 4: Wasn't that pleasant? We will see some of that on 222 00:12:18,094 --> 00:12:21,374 Speaker 4: the horizon. But in order to make that happen, if 223 00:12:21,414 --> 00:12:23,374 Speaker 4: you're in the eastern part of the country anyway, you 224 00:12:23,454 --> 00:12:26,054 Speaker 4: need high pressure to be sitting to our east. That 225 00:12:26,134 --> 00:12:29,054 Speaker 4: then means that the winds are coming from the north 226 00:12:29,134 --> 00:12:31,694 Speaker 4: and spring right down through. And so instead of being 227 00:12:32,414 --> 00:12:35,174 Speaker 4: air that's from near Antarctica, it's more air that's near 228 00:12:35,214 --> 00:12:38,654 Speaker 4: from aliss even from Dullwin, even from Queensland. If you're 229 00:12:38,694 --> 00:12:42,134 Speaker 4: down in Victoria. So that's the weather pattern we need 230 00:12:42,174 --> 00:12:45,654 Speaker 4: to have to experience those sort of conditions. But if 231 00:12:45,694 --> 00:12:47,974 Speaker 4: that high is out of the way, then the next 232 00:12:48,014 --> 00:12:50,734 Speaker 4: big weather system as in low pressure system, that'll come 233 00:12:50,854 --> 00:12:53,974 Speaker 4: through and bring an end to those more pleasant conditions. 234 00:12:53,974 --> 00:12:56,694 Speaker 4: So it's all about where the high sits as to 235 00:12:56,774 --> 00:12:59,654 Speaker 4: how you're going to feel and how these weather systems 236 00:12:59,654 --> 00:13:02,294 Speaker 4: can ultimately move through. If we get that high sitting 237 00:13:02,294 --> 00:13:05,174 Speaker 4: out there for a while, then everyone will be laughing, going, 238 00:13:05,254 --> 00:13:08,174 Speaker 4: oh wow, this was a nice early taste of spring. 239 00:13:08,294 --> 00:13:12,654 Speaker 4: There's warmth the northerly winds, but do keep in mind 240 00:13:12,694 --> 00:13:14,014 Speaker 4: that it may not last forever. 241 00:13:14,374 --> 00:13:17,694 Speaker 2: Okay, before we let you go, Jane, what is our 242 00:13:17,774 --> 00:13:20,534 Speaker 2: spring going to look like? We're officially in spring now 243 00:13:20,534 --> 00:13:22,734 Speaker 2: it's the first of September. What do we have ahead 244 00:13:22,734 --> 00:13:23,814 Speaker 2: for us? Hmm? 245 00:13:24,334 --> 00:13:26,974 Speaker 4: Let me just consult my crystal ball, because that's kind 246 00:13:26,974 --> 00:13:30,334 Speaker 4: of what these little forecasting can be like. Now, I'd 247 00:13:30,334 --> 00:13:33,814 Speaker 4: expect more moisture, so there is the potential for heavier rain. 248 00:13:34,334 --> 00:13:37,334 Speaker 4: What that can also mean is with more moisture, it 249 00:13:37,414 --> 00:13:40,614 Speaker 4: means our atmosphere is warmer, so maybe there are less 250 00:13:40,654 --> 00:13:42,334 Speaker 4: of these cold out breaks to come through. 251 00:13:42,614 --> 00:13:46,334 Speaker 2: Okay, Jane, put your crystal ball to extra good use, 252 00:13:46,374 --> 00:13:48,414 Speaker 2: give it a really hard rub for us. What can 253 00:13:48,454 --> 00:13:52,094 Speaker 2: we expect from summer? Then, I've heard that we're looking 254 00:13:52,134 --> 00:13:53,694 Speaker 2: down the barrel of a wet summer. 255 00:13:54,174 --> 00:13:56,214 Speaker 4: There is the chance of that, yes, because we've got 256 00:13:56,254 --> 00:13:59,334 Speaker 4: all of that extra moisture to play with. So we're 257 00:13:59,374 --> 00:14:02,614 Speaker 4: been through a stone of the negative Indian Ocean dipop. 258 00:14:02,694 --> 00:14:04,894 Speaker 4: Now that just sounds for a technical doesn't it, But 259 00:14:05,014 --> 00:14:08,374 Speaker 4: it's essentially the Larnina of the Pacific. It just doesn't 260 00:14:08,414 --> 00:14:12,054 Speaker 4: have the fancy name in the Pacific Ocean. What we've 261 00:14:12,094 --> 00:14:15,454 Speaker 4: had is the slight potential for lundina as we go 262 00:14:15,534 --> 00:14:18,294 Speaker 4: into spring and summer. Now not all of the modeling 263 00:14:18,374 --> 00:14:20,294 Speaker 4: is lighting that, but some of it is, so that 264 00:14:20,414 --> 00:14:23,494 Speaker 4: is something to keep sort of in your back pocket. 265 00:14:24,054 --> 00:14:27,134 Speaker 4: Is this a potential lundining year? Even if we don't 266 00:14:27,174 --> 00:14:29,734 Speaker 4: get that, we know that the water of Queensland is 267 00:14:29,934 --> 00:14:33,174 Speaker 4: incredibly warmer than average and with that source of moisture, 268 00:14:33,214 --> 00:14:35,894 Speaker 4: that means there is more wet weather to be spread 269 00:14:35,934 --> 00:14:38,734 Speaker 4: across the country. So as you go through summer, yes 270 00:14:38,774 --> 00:14:41,614 Speaker 4: there is the chance of above average rainfall, but it 271 00:14:41,654 --> 00:14:44,254 Speaker 4: all comes down to where the wet weather systems go 272 00:14:44,454 --> 00:14:46,254 Speaker 4: as to who actually sees this rain. 273 00:14:48,814 --> 00:14:51,054 Speaker 2: Thanks so much for taking some time to feed your 274 00:14:51,054 --> 00:14:53,934 Speaker 2: mind with us today. Hey, before you go, it's Women's 275 00:14:53,934 --> 00:14:57,334 Speaker 2: Health Week, so I've enlisted our mate Claire Murphy, who 276 00:14:57,454 --> 00:14:59,974 Speaker 2: yes you'll know her from the Quickie but also from 277 00:14:59,974 --> 00:15:03,254 Speaker 2: our women's health podcast well, to expand our minds with 278 00:15:03,374 --> 00:15:06,174 Speaker 2: some interesting women's health facts at the end of every 279 00:15:06,174 --> 00:15:08,854 Speaker 2: episode this week. So, without further. 280 00:15:08,574 --> 00:15:14,054 Speaker 1: Ado, Doctor Marriam shared this really great bit of information 281 00:15:14,174 --> 00:15:15,774 Speaker 1: with us, And this is for anyone who might be 282 00:15:15,854 --> 00:15:19,494 Speaker 1: iron deficient but not know why. It could potentially be 283 00:15:19,894 --> 00:15:22,934 Speaker 1: due to Celiac disease and you're not absorbing iron as 284 00:15:22,934 --> 00:15:25,854 Speaker 1: well as you should be. So it's thought that Celiac 285 00:15:25,934 --> 00:15:28,534 Speaker 1: disease alone is accounting for about one in twenty cases 286 00:15:28,534 --> 00:15:31,334 Speaker 1: of unexplained iron deficiency here in Australia, and many of 287 00:15:31,454 --> 00:15:34,334 Speaker 1: us remain undiagnosed. So if you are struggling with your 288 00:15:34,334 --> 00:15:36,734 Speaker 1: iron levels, make sure you go to your GP and 289 00:15:36,854 --> 00:15:39,334 Speaker 1: ask for them to look into whether it's coeliac disease. 290 00:15:39,574 --> 00:15:43,014 Speaker 2: The Quikie is produced by me Taylor Strano and Clem 291 00:15:43,014 --> 00:15:45,214 Speaker 2: Murphy
