1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Olly Peterson ABC Perth Radio Drive presenters with us Hey Olie, And.

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 2: On the weekend I saw the biggest light show in

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 2: the world. Have you ever heard of Albany in Western Australia, No,

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 2: five hours south of Perth. If you google lighting, the

5
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 2: sound it was like the Northern Lights or the Southern Lights.

6
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 2: Yets artificial, but it was the biggest light show in

7
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 2: the world. It was really really cool. It's on partuable weekends.

8
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:24,799
Speaker 2: You should come over and do your show from.

9
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: There where we're just shutting down our airline at the

10
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: moment actually because we can't afford to fly. Yeah, so

11
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 1: probably not. Oh, I see what you mean. So it's

12
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: basically lit up the landscape.

13
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 3: The terrain made it look bad.

14
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's absolutely magnificent.

15
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 3: It was really really cool. So just took the family

16
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 3: down there, had a bit of a look and I.

17
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 2: Thought, I'm almost easyaland like Albuty's pretty far down south

18
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 2: in Western Australia. We could do a bit of a

19
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: fuel I mean, diesel prices were two dollars ninety two

20
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 2: on the weekend, so I could just swim over and

21
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 2: see ya.

22
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, do you know what though, we would never

23
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: be able to do that in New Zealand because we'd

24
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: be worried about what that did to the birds with

25
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: all those those lace of beams.

26
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't tell everyone like you know, yeah, I know

27
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 2: exactly what you mean, look after the birds now, speaking.

28
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: Speaking of birds, and I will get in trouble for

29
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: the speaking of birds. What's happened to the Iranian football

30
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: is that five of them have gone back to Iran.

31
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 3: And this is just terribly sad, isn't it.

32
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 2: The argument is, or what's starting to come out is

33
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 2: they are being threatened heather from you know, internally, and

34
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 2: there's a little bit of criticism out towards the government

35
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 2: that Tony Burke, the Home Affairs Minister, was standing there,

36
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 2: you know, celebrating the fact that these seven Iranian women

37
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 2: had decided to defect to Australia and seek asylum in

38
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 2: Australia after the football commitments in the Asian Cup at

39
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 2: five at the seven. They have now returned home and

40
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: they are currently meeting their teammates in Malaysia before they

41
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 2: go back to Iran. So there are conflicting stories at

42
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 2: the moment that their families back in Iran, back in Tehran,

43
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: have been threatened obviously because they're starting to make a turn.

44
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: And now, as I said that, criticism is being leveled

45
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 2: at the Australian government for making a celebration about it,

46
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: for making a public stance, because this obviously in the

47
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 2: eyes I remember Donald Trump got involved in this last week,

48
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 2: the US President. This is going to look as though

49
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 2: and it will be used by the Iranian government that

50
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 2: look at what happened in the end, you know, they

51
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: decided to come home. So there's two who are at

52
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: this stage decided to stay in Australia. But yeah, what

53
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 2: a horrible set of circumstances and whatever awaits them when

54
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 2: they get back to Tehran.

55
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: See, One Nation's doing really well in the polls.

56
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 3: This is the future, isn't it.

57
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: Well it is at the moment, and there seems to

58
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 2: be no way that the Conservatives, that the Liberal and

59
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 2: the National Party can start to arrest back this trend.

60
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 2: And it's more than a trend heat and this has

61
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 2: been going on now for the last since the last

62
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 2: federal election. The One Nation primary vote is now out

63
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 2: to twenty four percent, which is huge. I mean that

64
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 2: is more at the moment than the coalition. It's got

65
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 2: twenty two percent. The Liberals and the National Party together.

66
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 2: Labour won that election last year with a thirty five

67
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 2: percent primary vote, but that's now dropped to twenty nine percent.

68
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 2: So you can just see in Australia moving forward, whoever's

69
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 2: in government is probably going to have to do that

70
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,399
Speaker 2: with a whole heap of the minor parties. So whether

71
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 2: from a Labour point of view, that's going to be

72
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 2: with the Greens or if the coalition wants to get

73
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 2: back into parliament one day, they probably have to look

74
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 2: towards becoming a party that is trying to entice the

75
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 2: one dation boaters and be a little further to the

76
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 2: right on the political spectrum.

77
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: We're a fair point now, listen, what are the points

78
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: of these crisis talks about the petrol price?

79
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 2: Well, to do something to make it look like they're

80
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 2: doing something. And we've handled this terrible. I mean, look,

81
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 2: we've all been caught around the world. Don't get me wrong,

82
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 2: but Chris Bowen, the federal Environment Minister, was hosing everything

83
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 2: down last week and then late on Friday comes out

84
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 2: and says, yes, it's a full blown crisis.

85
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 3: You know, I think you've got to manage your expectations.

86
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 2: Because while the punters are being blamed for, you know,

87
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 2: all of a sudden going and filling up all these

88
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 2: jerry cans and stockpiling fuel, it's the messaging that comes

89
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 2: from the top about saying you don't need to panic by,

90
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: you don't need to do this, you don't need to

91
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 2: do that. So in New South WALESTDA, they're currently holding

92
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 2: crisis talks with lots of people from industry, from the

93
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: transport groups and the like.

94
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 3: What will eventuate from that, who knows. Let's be honest.

95
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 3: We had one here in Wa last week.

96
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 2: We've got a big problem like where I am, Heather,

97
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: because we're so far away from the rest of the country.

98
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 2: You've got farmers who are heading into the seeding parts

99
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 2: of the year. They're telling us locally that they usually

100
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 2: get about ten thousand liters of diesel deposited this time

101
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 2: of year and they're lucky to get one thousand or

102
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 2: two thousand. Leaders Now, if they can't go ahead and

103
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 2: obviously undertake what they need to do, we're not going

104
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 2: to have as much food available. Obviously, those diesel prices

105
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 2: keeps skyrocketing so that people who pick it up and

106
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 2: try and take it to the ports, et cetera, et cetera.

107
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 2: We all know inflation is going to continue to bite

108
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 2: and guess what the Reserve Bank meets tomorrow, interest rates

109
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 2: are going to go up.

110
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: Probably the case for you guys unfortunately. All right, mate, listen,

111
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: thanks very much for talking us through that. That is

112
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,520
