1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,680 Speaker 1: Let's go to Donna Tomorow, our Australia correspondent. We'll get 2 00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,720 Speaker 1: to Carolin Young on Sunny Kirschell in just a second. Donna, 3 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: good morning. 4 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 2: Good morning. 5 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:13,040 Speaker 1: You've got a big heat wave coming for southeastern states. 6 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 2: I'm sweating. I'm sweating now. I tell you what. It's 7 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 2: going to be a hot one. Oh my goodness. Me 8 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,919 Speaker 2: wiping my brow as we speak. So the temperatures are 9 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 2: going to stay forty degrees and above for a little 10 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 2: while yet. And we know that the parts of Southeast 11 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 2: Australia have really sweltered already. It is the worst heat 12 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 2: wave in decades. We know that Melbourne today is going 13 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,839 Speaker 2: to see the highest maximum in seventeen years. It's going 14 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 2: to be wait for it, forty five degrees yesterday in 15 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,199 Speaker 2: parts of South Australia. It reached in Saduna, for instance, 16 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 2: forty nine point five degrees. Now this is scorching hot, 17 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 2: isn't it. I mean we've got forty six point one 18 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 2: in Dubbo, We've had forty eight in an area called Noona. 19 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 2: And and you know some of these temperatures are around 20 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 2: twenty one degrees above average, and it looks like records 21 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 2: could be broken again today forty nine degrees forecast for 22 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 2: Mill Drawer, which is in Victoria. That would be a 23 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 2: new Victorian record because the current record is forty eight 24 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 2: point eight and that was felt at Hopeton in two 25 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 2: thousand and nine. Now I'm going to try to explain 26 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 2: why it's so hot. Apparently, this is what's happening. A 27 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 2: stationary high pressure system has anchored itself a few k's 28 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 2: above New South Wales, and the wings blow away from 29 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 2: high pressure apparently, and this compression process is leading to 30 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 2: a rapid warming of an air mass, and that is 31 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 2: causing wait for it, a dome of hot air that 32 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 2: is moving very very slowly. As you can imagine, this 33 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 2: is also enhancing fire risks. So many many communities across 34 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 2: the Southeast States are now on extreme high alert. I 35 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 2: challenge you as well. 36 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: I challenge you don't to stand outside at midday and 37 00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: try and explain that again, you might hasten travel. How 38 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: you hope you heating up in the charts, the music 39 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: charts as well. Because paul this is so weird. Pauline 40 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 1: Hanson has released a song and is releasing a movie 41 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: as well, with a neighbours star Holly Valance. 42 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 2: Yes, well, this was originally released quite a while ago 43 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 2: and Holly Valance was on Neighbors many many many years ago. 44 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 2: But apparently, according to Pauline Hanson, Holly John did the 45 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 2: chance to cover her own song, and there's an animated 46 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 2: video that goes with it, and it does mock well, 47 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 2: it seems to mock very much so trans people, references 48 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 2: so called snowflakes and also makes fun of what Pauline 49 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 2: Hanson deems as woke culture. Now she thinks it could 50 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 2: even chart, and she says, wouldn't it be interesting if 51 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 2: perhaps the ABC Triple j would have to play this song. 52 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 2: It's from a movie she's made. This is all getting 53 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 2: very interesting, isn't it a quizzical? A super progressive movie 54 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,959 Speaker 2: that the name of the film, where an individual travels 55 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 2: beyond the nam bubble. It really is an interesting move 56 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 2: for Pauline Hanson. She was also asked recently she believed 57 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 2: she could be Prime Minister one day and she said, look, 58 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 2: it would be a big ask, but she says it 59 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 2: is possible. Let's see what the future holds for Pauline Hanson. 60 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: Thank you, Dona Donod My Australia correspondent.
