It'll make southern Queensland on the 27 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: weekend and that's when a southerly colder trough will come 28 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 1: through and get rid of all this heat. But I'll 29 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: tell you what this is, as they say on the 30 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: Trade unprecedented ether. Yeah, and it's buddy hot everywhere. Yeah, 31 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: it sounds like it. Now. Did they catch the guy 32 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: who threw the homemade bomb? Yeah, sadly. I mean this 33 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: guy can't tie his shoelacer so he wasn't hard to find. 34 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: Not a muppet anyway. Look, police have had the guy 35 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: in court. He's been charged with you know, presenting a 36 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: you know, like a bomb threat to a decent sized crowd. 37 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: It was at an Australia. An Australia Day rally was 38 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 1: actually a rally for invasion day, as Indigenous people call 39 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: it the here and this clown's turned up in northern 40 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: Perth and thrown this device into the crowd. Now police 41 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 1: have had the guy in court, as I say, and 42 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 1: they are lleging that he built this device hoping it 43 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 1: would explode. Basically, it was a glass container and surrounded 44 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: by a wrapping that contained ball bearings and screws. The 45 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: liquid inside still at this point has not been identified 46 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: according to police, but they're working on that anyway. He's 47 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: been charged with intent to do harm to endanger life, 48 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: health and safety, and with making an explosive device under 49 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: suspicious circumstances. He's also been charge of being a complete 50 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: idiot and he will be in court again a pretty 51 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: short run. Now, speaking of idiots, what happened with the 52 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 1: chat with the being driven by a dog, Well, it 53 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 1: happened on a beach in remote southwest Tasmania on Saturday 54 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: morning about half as nine on Saturday morning. Now, whether 55 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: this is true or not, Old mate was in the 56 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: passenger seat and his staffy was behind the wheel as 57 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,079 Speaker 1: this vehicle, this ute moved slowly down the beach and 58 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: you know he was dabbed in by members of the 59 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: public Apparently he's told police who turned up mate. I 60 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: was so hammered. The dog was a better driver. He's 61 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: a lovely Staffy cross. Anyway, this fellow has lost his 62 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: license for two years, surprise, surprise, been charged with drink 63 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: driving and the police are not buying that claim the 64 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: dog was a much better driver. I've seen a picture 65 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: of old mate. He's there sitting on a sofa with 66 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: his dog on his lap, a beer in one hand, 67 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: giving the bird with the other, a beanie and a 68 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: great big smile. So I suppose he's going to censor him, 69 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: but police failed to see the joke. It sounds like 70 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: you need some actual friends. Hey, thank you for that, Maus, 71 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: appreciate it. Keep yourself cool.
