1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Murray Olds is back with us Mauz apologies Heather of

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: some royal gremlin got into the telephone system. But yes,

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: look Paramount of Park this afternoon, big crowds. It's a

4
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: glorious Sydney day. It's the final full day for the

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: King and Queen in Sydney. There's a big naval salute.

6
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: I'm not sure exact the exact phrase that one uses

7
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: when the reigning King, the Monarch of Australia, you know,

8
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: acknowledges a flotilla of the Australian Navy, all five ships

9
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 1: in the Australian Navy will make their way past the King.

10
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 1: But look, it's been a super well received visit with

11
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 1: the exception of what you thought you mentioned her before.

12
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: And it depends who you talk to whether or not

13
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: she's condemned or she's praised. I mean a lot of

14
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 1: people are saying well done Lidia, you know, for raising

15
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: the issue of indigenous plight, you know, in Australia, because

16
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: let's face it, King Charles, long before he went on

17
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: the throne, he had this passion for all sorts of

18
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: matters that perhaps weren't normal royal matters, you know, so

19
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: Indigenous rights is one of them. Many others are saying,

20
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: what a grand standard, get rid of her. So look,

21
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,839
Speaker 1: she made a point, went around the world. She's pretty happy.

22
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,199
Speaker 1: I heard her this morning being interviewed, and the royal

23
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: visit continues. What do you make of this teenager who

24
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:24,199
Speaker 1: accidentally killed the police commissioner's son, skip and jail terrible? Well,

25
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: look this young there's a bit of background to this.

26
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 1: There's a thing over here called schoolies, end of high

27
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: school kids traditionally go out that almost all of them

28
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: are of legal drinking age. And apparently this night down

29
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: south of Adelaide, everybody was on the source, including the

30
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: police commissioners. Sonny was there with a whole bunch of

31
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: his friends, and this young fellow who was driving hadn't

32
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: had a drink, but for reasons that still a little

33
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: bit murky. He panicked. He was surrounded by all these

34
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: kids who were allegedly drunk. He panics, He flows the car,

35
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: He sends this young man flying and drives away. Now

36
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: he was already sentenced to and pleaded guilty of big

37
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: your partner, aggravated driving without care and leaving the seat

38
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: of a crash. So he's been banned for driving for

39
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: ten years, but the judge today ordered a sentence one year,

40
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: one month and seven days, non parole of seven months

41
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: be suspended on the condition he'd be of good behavior

42
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: for two years. I mean, everyone was shattered. A young

43
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 1: fellow at the wheel. He didn't want to kill this kid.

44
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: He just panicked. He saw all these kids around his

45
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: car and thought they're going to beat the tripe out

46
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: of me, and so he's just rowed away. And tragically

47
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 1: this young man suffered a reversible brain damage and they've

48
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: turned him off at hospital. It's just a tragic situation. Yeah,

49
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: Jesus half appearance with that kind of stuff, i'd imagine. Listen, muz,

50
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: what's the story with Mickey the Crockatoo. Has he been saved? Well,

51
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: we're still waiting for a and update the afternoon, but

52
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: I did speak to the Environment Minister this morning and

53
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 1: thanks to minisseria and intervention, Mickey the Cockatoo is going

54
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: to be spared. I mean, you talk about Polly want

55
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: a cracker. Mickey's rocked up at the MacArthur Square shopping

56
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: center in Southwest Sydney a month ago. Well, he's been

57
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: on the cockatoo buffet apparently he's put on so much

58
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: weight he looks like a bloody eagle. And everybody was

59
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: a bit over him because he's pooling everywhere and Polly

60
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: want a cracker, give me that loaf of bread. Well,

61

Speaker 1: Indian neghbors, Eldi there, Woolworths, Poles, Baker's Delight, you name it.

62
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: They're all lighting up to feed him. So somebody the

63
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:33,959
Speaker 1: word got out someone was going to take an air

64
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: gun and then put him out of his missery. Well

65
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: the minister heard of this ministerial intervention, the Polly want

66
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: a cracker when he's going to be caught and released

Speaker 1: into the wild, and I think everybody was quite happy. Yeah,
