00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: Oliver Peterson is with US six pr PERS Live presenter

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: Oli Good afternoon, Hello Ryan, nice to have you back

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: on the show. Now, Labor is promising over there a

4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,879
Speaker 1: rebates on power bills. How much is that worth?

5
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 2: Well, it's going to be at the cost of almost

6
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,440
Speaker 2: two billion dollars and one hundred and fifty dollars off

7
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 2: the power bills of Australian households. This is obviously as

8
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 2: we very quickly approach a federal election which hasn't been called.

9
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 2: The Treasurer Jim Chalmers was simply asked, you're buying votes

10
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 2: and he denies that. I think he certainly is. But

11
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 2: you might also recall that the National Energy Regulator has

12
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 2: approved price increases of up to nine percent from the

13
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 2: first of July. So this is the second time that

14
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 2: Australians will get one hundred and fifty dollars off their

15
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 2: power bills. Takes it to three and a half billion

16
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,279
Speaker 2: dollar energy bill relief. We probably get a few more

17
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 2: cost of living relief measures in the budget handed down

18
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: tomorrow night. We already know that the government wants to

19
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 2: put downward pressure on medications and prescriptions. They're also opening

20
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 2: up more opportunity it used to go and see a

21
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 2: GP for free. So expect more of those type of

22
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 2: announcements tomorrow night when the Treasurer is at the dispatch

23
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 2: box in the Federal Parliament in Canberra, and I reckon,

24
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 2: we'll be calling an election by the end of the week.

25
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: Well it's about time, OLLI. We've been talking about this

26
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: for so long. We don't even have a date. The

27
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,839
Speaker 1: Australian woman who has died in a boat that's capsized

28
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: in Barley, what can you tell us?

29
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 2: Well, this is really awful, isn't it. This happened on Friday.

30
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: A thirty nine year old woman named Anna Blight who

31
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 2: lived in Melbourne. She was actually celebrating her birthday, went

32
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: out on a snorkeling expedition off Bali. The weather, though,

33
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 2: was not particularly kind in those sorts of conditions, and

34
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 2: this whistleblower is actually just quite surprised the boat ever

35
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: even depart of the dock because the reports are that

36
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: the weather, as I said, wasn't fantastic, The currents were

37
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 2: particularly dangerous and the seas were particularly high. So you

38
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 2: just wonder what sort of occupational health and safety measures

39
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 2: were being put in place before making a decision to

40
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 2: launch this group of people into the water to decide

41
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 2: to go on a snorkeling expedition. The boat they are on,

42
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 2: the Sea Dragon too. It capsized in some of those

43
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 2: rough waters about half past eight on Friday nights. And

44
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 2: as I said, unfortunately Anna Marie, the thirty nine year

45
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: old who was originally from Canberra, she died during that

46
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 2: snorkeling troop. A second wave tipped over that boat. What

47
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: we don't know though, is what sort of investigation is

48
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: being undertaken by Indonesian authorities. And as I said, this

49
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 2: whistleblower from Australia who was on the same boat the

50
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 2: day before, was just quite surprised that this boat ever

51
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 2: even departed the docks. So yeah, it doesn't sound like

52
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 2: a good situation and a big warning for obviously OSSI's

53
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 2: and Kiweed's who were thinking about going to Bali and

54
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:44,399
Speaker 2: go snorkeling.

55
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, Hey, Ollie reads you the rabbit did he

56
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: do it?

57
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: I don't know? This is it right? Eighty year old

58
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 2: Charlie Gallico. He has been Reggie the Rabbit forever and

59
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 2: a day. This is obviously the mascot for the South

60
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 2: Sydney Rabbit. Oz. He has been a hues of assaulting

61
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 2: a boy. On the weekend during the Souths and Cronulla match.

62
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 2: There's allegedly a bit of footage of Visa an altercation

63
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: with a young Sharks fan. The son had been reprimanded,

64
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: according to the mother, by a security guard. Both clubs

65
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 2: are investigating. They're not making any comment. But this is

66
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: the last thing in the world I thought I'd be

67
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 2: talking about Reggie the Rabbit accused of assault of a

68
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 2: boy at a rugby league match. I mean, I don't

69
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 2: much like the Rabbit O's myself, but I wouldn't have

70
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 2: thought that the mascot would be getting into this sort

71
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 2: of behavior, right.

72
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have thought.

73
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 2: So.

74
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: Did you say he's eighty.

75
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 2: He's eighty years of age.

76
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

77
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 2: The guy, the guy that dresses up is Reggie. He

78
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 2: really loves his football club so much so in fact,

79
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 2: when the Rabbit O's were playing in Vegas, he went

80
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: along and a couple got married with Reggie the Rabbit

81
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: instead of Elvis. So, I mean, he's bigger than Elvis.

82
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 2: To some rugby league supporters, I.

83
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: Sh'd think you'd be having trouble breathing under that big

84
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: hot soup Olie, thank you for that. Absolutely, Andrew's punching children.
