1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,400
Speaker 1: So if you think it's earlier in New Zealand, you

2
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: should think how early it is in Australia. With donad Demayo,

3
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: wis good morning to your Donna.

4
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 2: Good morning.

5
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: Tell us about the Aussies who fell ill drinking the

6
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: pinacolada in Fiji.

7
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 2: Yes, well, for some it would be considered a holiday

8
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 2: from Halbert. What happened was a number of people, about

9
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 2: seven people fell ill after having pina coladas. It was

10
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 2: a fancy resort in Fiji, is the Warwick Fiji. Now

11
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 2: we've heard from an Ossie granddad. His name is David Sandal.

12
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 2: Now he received a phone call from his daughter and

13
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,919
Speaker 2: she told him, oh that she and his teenage granddaughter

14
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,520
Speaker 2: had been hospitalized. They fell ill after drinking peanut coladas

15
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 2: at this hotel. Now a total of four Ossie's out

16
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 2: of the seven that fell ill were hospitalized. Now it's

17
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 2: a suspected mass alcohol poisoning they're calling it, and investigations

18
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 2: continue into what actually happened. We were waiting for toxicology

19
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 2: reports to come in, but at this stage no suggesting

20
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 2: anything untoward happened. Number quite a few questions still remain,

21
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 2: of course, But when we heard from David Sando. He

22
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 2: said it just sent chills down his spine. And it's

23
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 2: because once he got that phone call. It's because of

24
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: what happened in Laos recently and that tragedy where that

25
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: left two teenage Ossie's dead. And I think that's what

26
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 2: he was thinking when he got that phone called. He

27
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 2: was thinking the worst, yes, exactly.

28
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: And Fiji didn't appreciate him actually mentioning the worst because

29
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: as they've striven to point out, it hasn't been nearly

30
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: as bad as that, and of course that depended on

31
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,919
Speaker 1: the tourism. So we wait for the toxicology report exactly. Meanwhile,

32
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: it's pretty hot, pretty hot on your neck of the woods.

33
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 2: I'm sweating as we speak. I really, I really am.

34
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: Hold on, it's three o'clock in the morning.

35
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 2: It's all well, it's warm. So the call chain has

36
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: come through. But yesterday was absolutely a scorture for most

37
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: of Australia. Victoria, for instance, recorded its highest DESCENDBRA temperature

38
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 2: in five years and it's impacting South Australia, Northern Territory,

39
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: in New South Wales, Queensland. As I Mentionedvictoria, the Weather

40
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 2: Bureau is said that wholly up in Victoria's northwest recorded

41
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 2: wait for it, forty seven degrees mid afternoon. Other places

42
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 2: reached mid forties. That's twelve to twenty degrees above the

43
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 2: December average. Yes, it's really really warm. In Adelaide it

44
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 2: was thirty eight degrees by ten am yesterday. In Melbourne

45
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 2: it reached thirty degrees by nine am and by late

46
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 2: afternoon thirty nine degrees. And of course a lot of

47
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: concern for the fire danger and everyone is on a

48
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 2: high alert in the fire services especially thankfully, a mild

49
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 2: you know, relatively you know, anticipated highly anticipated call change

50
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 2: came through last night. The gave a sudden relief.

51
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: You stay called.

52
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 2: You can barely sweek, i can barely speak.

53
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 1: I'm so warm. I'm just so much for your time today.
