Sure it's a little chilly, 0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:26.639 as it has been for a few days, but the 0:00:26.680 --> 0:00:30.000 sky's are absolutely gorgeous this afternoon.

Now, this has been 0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:45.360 a case in Sydney for a few years now, but 0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:47.800 according to the ABS, the national mean price of a 0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:50.959 residential dwelling has gone past a million dollars. So celebrate. 0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:53.400 If you're fortunate enough to own property, you are a 0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:56.360 millionaire on paper. At least. Coming up on the show, 0:00:56.720 --> 0:00:58.880 the price of berries is going through the roof. You 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:00.520 may well need to have a million in the bank 0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:03.920 to buy blueberries. Blueberries in particular, also strawberries. And it's 0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:07.360 not just because of the floods. Straight shooters this afternoon. 0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:10.400 Should private school fees be tax deductible? We're going to 0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:12.440 have a look at that. Mark guys on the program 0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:14.880 after five point thirty.

We'll 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:22.200 play the quiz after five point thirty. You are my 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:24.240 eyes and ears when it's happening in Sydney now, so 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:27.000 text me zero four six zero eight seven three eight 0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:36.640 seven three have you say one three one eight seven three? 0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:42.080 Well in city now. Police are investigating two hidden runs. 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:44.919 One of those has resulted in the fatality a pedestrian. 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:47.360 The forty six year old man has died in Liverpool 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:51.440 hospital today. This follows an incident this morning Junction Road 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:55.160 at Lemea. Police used pole Air the helicopter and found 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.000 the car they believe to have been involved in a 0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.760 nearby sports center. A seventy seven year old woman has 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:02.840 been rested. She has not yet been charged. That followed 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:05.720 another incident in Maryland's where a sixteen year old girl 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:08.040 was struck at the intersection of Denmark and Anne Street. 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:10.680 Now she's now in the Children's hospital in Westmead in 0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:13.760 a stable condition. The driver involved in that one has 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:15.920 not been found. Police would like to speak to anyone 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:18.919 who has dash cam footage. That's often very handy. Now 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:21.800 the number for crime stoppers one eight hundred, triple three, 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.800 triple zero. At the same time, police have wrapped up 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:28.480 their operation their King's Birthday long weekend operation on the roads. 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:31.760 They've issued more than four thousand speeding infringements and they've 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:35.000 also detected more than six hundred and fifty people with 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:39.000 drugs in their system while driving. The Assistant Commissioner, David 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:40.959 Driver joins me on the show, thank you for your. 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:42.840 Time, thank you, glinting, good afternoon. 0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:45.720 Just firstly, on these hit runs. There was another hit 0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:48.800 run on Friday in Penrith as well, plus these two 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:50.960 in the past twenty four hours, we seem to have 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:53.559 gone through a spate of these sort of incidents. 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:57.880 We have had three of those incidents recently. Unfortunately two 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:00.919 of them were fatalities. And so what I can say 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:04.480 about the incident that occurred on Thursday, A twenty year 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:06.680 old male has been arrested in respect to that matter. 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:10.120 So there were some very good investigations conducted by our 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:13.639 crash Investigation Unit and that identified that driver. So that 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:16.919 was some very good work, but sadly that the pedestrian 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:20.760 did pass away. And similarly, we had another fatality this 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:24.840 morning junction at Lumea. As you mentioned, we're a forty 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:27.280 six year old man died as a result of injuries 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:32.840 that he received. So both those matters are still under investigation. 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:34.920 At seventy seven, you're a woman in custody at the moment. 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.840 She's yet to be charged for your operation over the weekend, David, 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:41.040 you've issued more than four thousand speeding fines and you've 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:43.520 conducted a huge number of breath tests. But what jumps 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:45.120 out at me is the number of people you have 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:46.560 found with drugs in their system. 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:51.120 Yeah, look, the offenses committed with the presence of drugs. 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:53.720 So we conducted over nine and a half thousand random 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:57.080 drug tests and six hundred and fifty five of those 0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:02.480 tests of those drivers tested positive to either cocaine, methamphetamine 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:06.760 or cannabis. So it is a concern and what we unfortunately, 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:09.680 what we are finding. As well, as you mentioned the speeding, 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:13.200 we had incidents where people were detected exceeding the speed 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:16.120 limit by more than forty five kilometers an hour, testing 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:21.000 positive to our cohol mid range, and also having drugs 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:24.560 in their system. That is just a recipe for disaster. 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:28.200 So you know, we are out there, we are conducting 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:31.839 these enforcements, but we really need people to take their 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:35.760 own take responsibility for their own actions. If they continue 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:39.960 to commit these offenses, they will get caught police. We 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:43.480 advertise the fact that we are running special operations, so 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:46.760 it's a little bit hard to understand why people would 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:49.200 take the risk knowing that there's going to be that 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:53.279 enhanced focus on road safety and we publicize it. 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:55.560 So well, look, there's a lot of people found speeding, 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:57.720 as you've outlined them, more than four thousand. But if 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:00.799 I can look at a positive not that anybody found 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:02.960 to be over the blood alcohol in it is good. 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:04.960 But if the two hundred and two thousand breath tests 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:08.480 you conducted, it was fewer than three hundred positives, I 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:11.560 mean as a percentage, that's actually reasonably good. 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:12.920 Look. 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:16.480 Part of random brand of breath testing works on some 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:19.039 science in respect to a general deterrent effects. So people 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:22.120 see random breath testing and they know that we're conducting 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:24.560 that activity, so they make a decision well in advance 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:28.840 not to drink and drive. So that's part of the strategy. 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:30.880 Then the other part of the strategy is with our 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:34.880 mobile stops, it's more a little more targeted given areas, 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:39.240 and there is a high detection in mobile tests, so 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:42.039 we combine those two strategies. One is a general deterrent, 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:45.960 but we saw even over the weekend at stationary sites, 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:50.880 people were testing at high range levels even at ten 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:55.880 am in the morning. So it's very, very frustrating when 0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:58.760 we tell people that we are going to be out 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:02.479 in force, and I don't think there's a genuine appreciation 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:05.039 of the risk that they are presenting to other martyrs 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:09.560 and other road users, pedestrians, bike riders, motorbike riders, everyone, 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.719 So it really is stupid behavior. 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:15.400 So is that a message of people who go out 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:17.600 drinking the night before, maybe drinking say two in the morning, 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:20.359 aren't getting the message that there's still alcohol in their 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:21.719 system at ten o'clock next morning. 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:25.360 Yeah, it takes about on average, and I say average 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:27.960 because it does vary between people, but it takes about 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:30.760 one hour to get rid of one standard drink. So 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:34.320 that's why the rule of thumb. Two drinks in the 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:36.320 first hour will take you to a round point zero 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:42.120 five and the third Every single drink after that will 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:44.800 keep you at that level if you have one drink 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:45.320 per hour. 0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:47.400 Good work over the weekend. I saw plenty of your 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:51.400 officers out there. Thank you. Thanks Assistant Commissioner David Driver. 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:55.640 You're listening to Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard on two 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:58.880 GB com Now one three to one, Take seven. 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:01.080 Through thirteen past three. Ross over to LA for the 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:03.479 latest on the riots. Our nine reporter on the ground 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:07.960 is Jonathan Curzley. John, I, what's the latest, Clinton, as 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:08.839 you come to us tonight. 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.680 It is a very tense situation here across much of 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:14.760 downtown Los Angeles. It's been calm most of the day. 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:17.200 Then essentially we saw this face off between a group 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:21.040 of protesters, the National Guard and US Border and Customs police. 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:25.760 Essentially that lasted for hours until something stucked. Essentially the police, 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:28.160 one of them moved on. What that did, though, was 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:31.800 moved hundreds and hundreds of protesters throughout different parts of 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:35.320 the city. So tonight there have been sporadic clashes between 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:39.240 protesters and police for a fourth night, and they've been 0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:42.520 taking place in different pockets of downtown LA, some outside 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:46.840 federal buildings, some inside other areas. Really over quite a 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:50.240 large space of distance, and they are moving fast. They 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:53.280 seem a lot more organized today than perhaps what they 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:55.960 were last night. We know last night too that by 0:07:56.040 --> 0:08:00.560 about midnight twelve thirty local time, which is probably five 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.200 five thirty Australian Eastern time, they started to move out 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:06.640 of the city altogether. Now that is what authorities would 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:08.960 have wanted much earlier tonight. They're trying to bring this 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:11.360 to some sort of then, But at this stage tonight 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:14.840 there's been tear gas been fired, rubber bullets being fired. 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:17.600 It shows no sign of letting up. 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:20.520 The seven hundred Marines that Donald Trump has ordered to 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:23.360 join the two thousand National Guards. Is that seen as 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:24.400 what's going to end this? 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:27.280 Well, Donald Trump will think so. But you talk to 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:29.680 the protesters on the ground, of which there are hundreds 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.240 of the right throughout the city tonight, and they will 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:34.319 say to you that that is just inflammatory and only 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:37.199 going to increase the anxiety here on the streets. It's 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:40.040 not just two thousand National Guard. Donald Trump is promising 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:42.960 a number two thousand. According to Gavin newsom So, it 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:45.880 is a real step up of the law enforcement measures 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:48.720 being taken by the federal government in a state, in 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:51.600 a city where Essentially, what you have is gold Trump 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:56.480 pitted against California and against Los Angeles. He is shaping 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:58.800 up for a good fight here, and he has shown 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:00.880 that if he does not think that he is going 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:02.920 to get his way, or people are angry with his 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:06.240 policy measures, then he is prepared to be heavy handed. 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:09.920 He is prepared to do things that other presidents have 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:14.280 not done. I overtake a state governor to take control 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:17.160 of the National Guards and mobilize them. That's what he's 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:19.880 done here. Davin Newson has called him illegal. He's trying 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:21.800 to sue him. But as you talk to next night, 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:25.720 there's silence blaring throughout all of Los Angeles. I've seen 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:29.280 fire trucks, police cars going past. There are a number 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:33.199 of helicopters overhead. The police Airwing has been using their 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:37.520 search lights throughout a very large perimeter of downtown Los Angeles, 0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:40.040 in and around that core policings. We have seen so 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:42.960 much action over the course of the last three days. 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:45.400 So as we enter soon into the early hours of 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:49.000 yet another day, the anxiety, the ten scenes, the violence, 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:50.839 it doesn't show any sign of eatings here. 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:53.360 Click and Jonathan, just lastly, obviously you have iced the 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:56.360 immigration and Customs enforcement taking people into custody to throw 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:59.640 them out of the country, but protesters themselves being arrested 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:00.120 in charge. 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:03.480 Protesters have been arrested tonight. There have been a number 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:05.640 of them told by police, but because they did not 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:08.959 listen to dispersal orders, because they were told to get 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:10.559 out of the way and did not, though they were 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:13.880 all going to be arrested. The LAPD had said earlier 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:16.000 today that they had made some fifty arrests over the 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:17.920 course of the last day or so. Now those numbers 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:20.880 are only going to increase once they identify people. The 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:23.880 federal government has announced that they've identified somebody who is 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:28.600 throwing rocks at immigration vehicles the other nights. They are 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:31.640 now obviously seeking them. We've seen ice raids carried out 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:34.840 again today in a different part of Los Angeles. We've 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.800 seen protests take place not just here in LA but 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:40.840 in other cities in Tampa, in Florida, and Dallas and Texas. 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:44.360 In New York, a sitting protest at Trump Tower, and 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:46.719 the anger is spreading bit by bit by bit by 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:49.000 bit by bit. And what this is is a very 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:52.680 tense situation that is having ramifications, not just for the 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:55.640 city of angels, but for the country of the United 0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:58.560 States of America. There are many people in many cities 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:02.160 watching this. Donald Trump is called the paid antagonists taking 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:06.439 past in these protests. He believes that people are being 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:10.080 drafted in from outside of these cities to increase the 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:12.600 level of violence here. You talk to officials here in 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:15.080 LA and they're saying, no, that's not the case. They're 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:17.760 pushing the blame onto Donald Trump. So right the way, 0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:20.840 from the top down to the people who are battling 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:23.640 this on the streets, there is a clash of ideas, 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:26.439 a clash of personality, and no sign that they can 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:28.679 find any sort of common ground to try and bring 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:31.400 this to an end, and it's an end that really 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:31.960 is needed. 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:35.400 Fast, Stay safe this evening. It is eighteen past ten 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:37.320 where you're at the moment. We'll see your nine years tonight. 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:38.920 Thank you, Jonathan, Thanks. 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:40.640 Basin, and thanks for having it's not always good stuck 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:41.240 funeral listeners. 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:43.920 Jonathan Curzley on the ground in LA at the moment. 0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:45.520 Certainly will cross back to John Oo in our nine 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:48.600 correspondent should there be developments, So tomorrow there will be 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:52.160 directions hearing in the Fair Work Commission to try to 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:55.120 resolve this ongoing dispute between the state government and the 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:58.319 combined rail Unions. Now I shouldn't say the combined rail 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:01.280 unions because all the unions involved in long running dispute, 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:04.360 they've all agreed now to the state government's pay deal 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:08.320 except one of them, the e TOU, the Electrical Trades Union, 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:11.720 and because they haven't agreed, it's holding up the whole process. 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:11.960 Now. 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:15.200 I was in contact with the RTBU president over the 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:18.000 weekend and he's frustrated. Now I know there's plenty of 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.199 you are frustrated with them because they've put us through hell, 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:22.880 us commuters for the last couple of years. But at 0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:24.640 least now they've agreed to the deal from the state 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:26.160 government and they just want to get on with it. 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:29.360 They are frustrated the ETU is now holding up the 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:33.040 whole process. So the government has now informed me that 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:37.360 tomorrow there'll be a directions hearing at ten thirty and 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:41.439 this direction's hearing effectively what they want to do. They 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:43.800 want to force the unions to put this issue to 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:47.400 a vote of their members. John Graham says, we've made 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:50.200 our requests for rail workers to now decide to finalize 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:52.240 this agreement, but we will respect the decision of the 0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:54.880 Fair Work Commission. Wrapping up this agreement, we'll give workers 0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:57.760 a fair pay rise and provide a million daily passenger's certainty. 0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:02.199 The disruption from protracted industrial action is over. So basically 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:04.439 what they want to do is give the members a 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:08.679 vote of all the unions, THETU, the RTBU, the other 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:11.520 ones involved. The RTB you, they're now on board. They 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:14.679 represent more than eight and a half thousand Sydney Trains workers. 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:20.480 The ETU represents eight hundred eight hundred and the actual 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:23.560 individual members themselves. They haven't had a say on it. 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:25.320 So what they want the Fair Work Commission to do 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:28.400 tomorrows say, look forget the management of the union, a 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:31.240 lot of them. Just let the members have their say 0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:33.480 and then hopefully they'll vote for the agreement and we 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:34.600 can get on with life. 0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:38.600 Be your part of Sydney now with Clinton. Maynard called 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:39.320 one three. 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:42.280 One eight twenty four past three. I was listening to 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:45.480 Mark Levy this morning and the story he brought us 0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:51.000 from Buxton just blew my mind. A set of plaques 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:55.680 on park benches, plaques that are remembering the victims of 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:58.800 the car crash back in twenty twenty two that resulted 0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:01.760 in five teenagers being killed. A set of plarks have 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:06.480 been ripped off the benches and stolen, a beautiful tribute 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:11.360 to those those teenagers who died. Mark spoke with John Vanderpoot. 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:14.840 He's the father of fourteen year old Lily who died 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:15.520 in the crash. 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:18.080 I don't know why anyone would take it. There's just, 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:21.720 full stop, there's no gain for them. And as you said, 0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:26.160 the council made some nice benches there and remind everyone 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:29.360 how to drive safe and whatnot. So it's in there 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:32.480 face when kids sit on the bench, especially the kids 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:35.680 are walking from Pitton Eye to Tarmor and that nice pathway. 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:39.160 They sit there and they can reflect and think about 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:42.000 safe driving and all that. And someone has just taking 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:46.640 these plarks and I just absolutely, I just I don't 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:49.880 no words for it. I'm disgusted. There's no gain, in 0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:51.280 absolutely no gain. 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:54.280 What's your message to the low life that's done it. 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:58.160 We'll just drop the parks back somewhere and we'll just 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:00.920 get the council put them back on. It might have 0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:02.920 been a couple of young fellows or yeah. I just 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:05.920 think they're being smart, you know what. I mean, that's o. 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:08.880 Katie's just return them and no questions asked. 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:12.240 Why would anyone do that? Now? All around the city 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:14.800 you see pluques that are left on benches to remember 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:18.960 people who've passed away, sometimes like this, in absolute tragic circumstances, 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:21.760 from other people who've donated some money to a foundation, 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:26.280 maybe donated a park bench. Why would anybody be motivated 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:29.760 to steal a plaque? Just do the right thing, as 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:32.880 John says, there'll be no questions asked. Just hand the 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:34.400 pluks back an. 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:37.520 Ease, update, upgrade and save with Winston with a Wine 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:41.360 give twenty five percent of motorized blinds, curtains and awnings. 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:45.040 Book now at Winston dot com dot au. 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:49.680 It's a good afternoon to Katie Fuller. 0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:53.680 Good afternoon. Clinton Police are investigating two separate hit and 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:56.760 runs in Sydney. The search is underway for a driver 0:15:56.960 --> 0:15:59.440 after a sixteen year old girl was struck and injured 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:01.960 at Mary Lane. A forty six year old man has 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:05.200 been killed in a separate incident at Loma. The alleged 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:08.760 driver has been arrested. The Prime Minister says he'll be 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:11.680 seeking win wins when he sits down with the US 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:15.320 President next week. Trade and defense will be on the 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:18.960 agenda during Anthony Albanesi's first face to face meeting with 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:23.040 Donald Trump. Premier Chrismins says his confident prew card will 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:26.280 be back on deck within months as she undergoes treatment 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:30.000 for breast cancer. The Deputy Premier has confirmed she's taking 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:33.840 immediate leave, and a search is underway on Tasmania's Cradle 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:36.520 Mountain for a man thought to be missing in below 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:41.280 freezing temperatures in Sport. Tottenham has opened talks with Brentford 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:45.240 manager Thomas Frank as they look to replace and Posta Coglu, 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:48.920 The Australian manager was zacked last week after the spurs 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:52.680 worst Premier League season in fifty years. Clinton More news it. 0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:55.480 For eighteen degrees in the city at seventeen degrees in 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:57.720 the western suburbs peter Ford coming up in just a moment, 0:16:57.720 --> 0:16:59.600 but just on the issue of the plaques that beIN 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:03.920 stolen from Buxton, from the seats there that were marking 0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:06.800 the deaths of those teenagers back in twenty twenty two 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:09.920 ash reckons. Look if the planks were brass, I guess 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:12.119 they were taken for scrap metal, but still the amount 0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:16.359 of metal is tiny. Hello George. 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:22.600 Hello, we had a similar problem at our memorial Park. 0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:27.600 I'm a member of Midfield RSL sub branch right, and 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:35.359 we had fourteen plarques stolen. Fairfield RSL, their Memorial Park 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:41.160 had many plarques stolen as well, and they police found 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:43.040 them in the local scrap metal dealer. 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:46.120 Yeah. So what are the planks made of? Are they brass? 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:47.600 Bronze? 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:50.720 It's bronze. So what the aim is to melt them down, 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:51.639 sell them for scrap. 0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:55.000 Well, they just take them in and sell them a 0:17:55.040 --> 0:18:01.359 scrap metal, mix them in with other metals that they have, 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:03.560 and they tend to get missed. 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:04.280 Yeah. 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:06.680 I was going to say, surely that the scrap metal 0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:09.240 dealer could detect that when there's an inscription on the plat, 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:11.200 But I guess if it's just in a big, huge 0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:12.720 box of a lot of scrap metal, it's not going 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:14.000 to be picked up. Look. Thanks, so letting me know 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:16.160 about that, Georgian. That's pretty shocking. 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:19.520 If it's happening in Sydney, you'll hear it on Sydney 0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:21.600 Now with Clinton Maynard on. 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:23.200 To GB Well. 0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:25.959 Peter Ford predicted that the project would be accident. Indeed, 0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:29.040 over the weekend the acts came down on the projector 0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:31.520 what's the reaction been in the industry peak. 0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:34.879 Well, certainly not shock. I mean, as you suggest, it 0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:37.320 was a badly kept secret, and lots of stuff have 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:40.240 been leaking out about the replacement show. I guess the 0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:44.040 one big surprise was how swiftly it's going, finishing on 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:47.359 June twenty seven. Now, I'm assuming that must be somehow 0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:50.280 connected to the end of the financial year and the 0:18:50.320 --> 0:18:54.040 contracts with the company that produces the show, and then 0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:57.239 the news show starts the following week. That worries me. 0:18:57.560 --> 0:19:00.919 That's not a long lead in time to get a 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:03.520 show up and going, particularly if you are doing long 0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:07.400 form journalism or investigative journalism. They've only got a couple 0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:10.200 of weeks to pull it together. Now, they've probably been 0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:13.320 working secretly for a few weeks already, but it would 0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:16.000 seem a lot of the staff and he began work 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:18.560 on the show last week. So you'd like to think 0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:20.600 in their first week they're going to make an impact 0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:23.159 and pull a few rabbits out of the hat. I 0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:25.360 hope they do, but it is a very short lead 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:27.479 up time. But as for the project, I mean it 0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:29.760 was a great run, even if it is going out 0:19:29.800 --> 0:19:33.720 with a whimper. To do sixteen years is quite something 0:19:33.760 --> 0:19:36.480 that has a place in the history of Australian TV, 0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:39.520 and they did in their early days. They were providing 0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:43.480 something that was quite unique and innovative and all that. 0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:47.280 I think it's a shame the show became so toxic, 0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:50.320 even if it was undeserved. It became very toxic in 0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:52.320 the minds of a lot of people. But you know, 0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:54.359 that's the way it goes. Sixteen years is a good 0:19:54.400 --> 0:19:55.240 innings in TV. 0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:58.320 Our former colleague here at TGB, Steve Price, who was 0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:00.360 on the program for more than fifteen years, you wrote 0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:03.119 a piece in the Herald Sun today and he pointed out, firstly, 0:20:03.160 --> 0:20:05.679 but the project's been You mentioned the toxicity of it, 0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:08.440 but it's been known as a lefty program. Price. He 0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:10.480 was making the point, well, I'm hardly a lefty, so 0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:13.240 they did entertain other views. But he was also highlighting 0:20:13.240 --> 0:20:15.400 the fact that it was a program that was produced 0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:17.879 in Melbourne and he says it's a great loss to 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:20.960 lose that style of programming from Melbourne. In this day 0:20:21.000 --> 0:20:23.760 and age. Does that matter where a current affairs program 0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:26.000 is actually produced and broadcast from. 0:20:25.920 --> 0:20:28.920 Well selfishly, it matters obviously for the people who live 0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:30.960 in Melbourne and want to get jobs on that style 0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:34.159 of television, but shows in that sense do come and go. 0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:39.119 But I thought the piece that Price wrote was very good. Also, 0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:42.360 I thought Sarah last night, Sarah Harris, who I really rate. 0:20:42.400 --> 0:20:45.119 I hope she ends up somewhere. I thought she also 0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:47.760 made the point that, look, you see the people sitting 0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:51.320 at the desk, but there's another sixty to seventy people 0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:54.520 who lost their jobs whose faces you don't know, who 0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:58.719 don't earn big TV star salaries. They were a lot 0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:01.280 of them are freelancers, so that don't even get any notice. 0:21:01.400 --> 0:21:04.280 They just get pretty much dismissed on the spot. You know, 0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:06.119 they're the people who you ought to feel a bit 0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:06.720 sorry for you. 0:21:06.840 --> 0:21:08.560 They have those run of show deals, so it's not 0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:11.760 like they've given six weeks notice. Now there's been a 0:21:11.760 --> 0:21:14.760 big twist in the Justin Baldoni Blake Lively case. 0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:17.760 Yeah, well, I know this goes on so very long 0:21:17.800 --> 0:21:20.960 story short. Justin Baldoni was director and star of a 0:21:21.040 --> 0:21:24.000 movie called This Ends with Us. Blake Lively, who's married 0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:27.600 to Ryan Reynolds, was the female co star in it. Now. 0:21:28.119 --> 0:21:31.600 Earlier late last year, actually, she suddenly announced that she 0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:34.679 was going to be suing Baldoni for all sorts of 0:21:34.720 --> 0:21:38.760 terrible things, including workplace harassment, and The New York Times 0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:42.040 broke the story with the details of what she was 0:21:42.080 --> 0:21:44.880 suing about. He said, no, hang on, I'm actually going 0:21:44.880 --> 0:21:47.760 to sue you for saying all this stuff. I'm suing 0:21:47.800 --> 0:21:50.040 you for defamation. So it was due to go to 0:21:50.040 --> 0:21:52.359 court de March of next year. Now what's happened is 0:21:52.400 --> 0:21:56.879 the judge has thrown out justin Baldoni's case, her case 0:21:56.920 --> 0:21:59.639 still goes ahead, and the fact that his case is 0:21:59.680 --> 0:22:02.400 thrown out does not in any way indicate that she's 0:22:02.440 --> 0:22:04.840 a shoeing to win. I don't think she is at all. 0:22:05.160 --> 0:22:07.840 But in his case, what the judge ruled was that 0:22:08.440 --> 0:22:12.680 if you make allegations in court documents, then you can't 0:22:12.680 --> 0:22:15.320 be suits the defamation for that. If you can't make 0:22:15.359 --> 0:22:18.080 an allegation of court document where you're going to make it. 0:22:18.359 --> 0:22:20.879 Had she gone on a TV show or a radio 0:22:20.960 --> 0:22:24.200 show and made those claims, then absolutely there'll be defamation. 0:22:24.680 --> 0:22:28.680 So his side of it is thrown out, and certainly 0:22:28.680 --> 0:22:31.399 for today, there's no doubt she's had a win, but 0:22:31.480 --> 0:22:33.480 it's by no means over well. 0:22:33.359 --> 0:22:36.000 Keip following that with some interest. Thank you, Pete Dans Clinton, 0:22:36.080 --> 0:22:38.919 Peter Ford. It's twenty two to four. Our thoughts go 0:22:38.960 --> 0:22:41.520 out to the New South Wales Deputy Premier prew Car, 0:22:41.960 --> 0:22:45.719 who I think has handled her cancer diagnosis today with 0:22:45.960 --> 0:22:49.080 so much dignity and remember and you're now to follow 0:22:49.080 --> 0:22:51.160 this throughout the day. This is the second time Prewe 0:22:51.160 --> 0:22:54.679 Carr has contracted cancer. She successfully fought off cancer in 0:22:54.720 --> 0:22:58.840 twenty twenty two. This time she's been diagnosed with breast 0:22:58.920 --> 0:23:00.920 cancer before. 0:23:00.600 --> 0:23:03.000 And I'm really confident that I can fight it again. 0:23:03.600 --> 0:23:08.679 The prognosis is good. The amazing medical team around me 0:23:09.119 --> 0:23:13.520 are really hopeful about the prospects after treatment, and so 0:23:13.760 --> 0:23:16.199 am I. I want to say a massive thank you 0:23:16.400 --> 0:23:20.520 to everyone so far in New South Wales health absolutely 0:23:20.520 --> 0:23:25.000 amazing and I just want to remind everyone to all 0:23:25.000 --> 0:23:28.919 the women out there, just be really vigilant with your checks, 0:23:29.880 --> 0:23:32.439 getting it early. This is what's happened in my case 0:23:33.680 --> 0:23:34.159 is so. 0:23:34.040 --> 0:23:36.840 Important and that's an important message from preu Car and 0:23:36.880 --> 0:23:39.399 Preue Car is relatively a young woman and this is 0:23:39.440 --> 0:23:41.560 the second time she's been struck down by cancer, but 0:23:41.640 --> 0:23:45.240 fortunately the doctors have discovered it early. Chris Minns has 0:23:45.320 --> 0:23:47.640 made tribute to her tenacity. 0:23:47.200 --> 0:23:51.320 See the determination in a member of Parliament who has 0:23:51.400 --> 0:23:55.080 to and has done been able to fight off cancer 0:23:55.119 --> 0:23:59.159 previously as well as assuming the second most important position 0:23:59.240 --> 0:23:59.720 in the state. 0:24:00.000 --> 0:24:02.240 And Mark Speakman's also had kind words. 0:24:02.359 --> 0:24:06.320 This is something above politics and the thoughts and prayers 0:24:06.320 --> 0:24:07.960 of everyone in the opposition go out to Prue and 0:24:08.000 --> 0:24:11.960 wish her a strong and speedy recovery. I'm happy to 0:24:12.000 --> 0:24:14.679 hear that the prognosis is good. Of course I'm devastated 0:24:14.680 --> 0:24:16.480 to hear the general news, but I'm happy to hear 0:24:16.520 --> 0:24:17.720 that the prognosis is good. 0:24:17.840 --> 0:24:20.000 She will remain as the Deputy Premier for now, there's 0:24:20.040 --> 0:24:22.359 not an acting Deputy Premier. She'll continue to be in 0:24:22.400 --> 0:24:25.200 contact with Chris Mins and the cabinet. She will stand 0:24:25.240 --> 0:24:28.200 down for now as the Education Minister, and Courtney Husos 0:24:28.320 --> 0:24:31.159 takes on that role in an acting position. And she 0:24:31.160 --> 0:24:33.320 also wanted to make it clear that for residents who 0:24:33.359 --> 0:24:36.320 live in her Electric Londonderry, so in the Penrith district, 0:24:36.760 --> 0:24:40.080 if you still have issues that you want examined, that 0:24:40.119 --> 0:24:42.400 you want fought out in Parliament. If you've got problems, 0:24:42.560 --> 0:24:46.000 don't hesitate to contact her office. Just because she's going 0:24:46.040 --> 0:24:48.479 to be taking time off from being an MP. It 0:24:48.520 --> 0:24:51.960 doesn't mean that the staff will not follow up your concerns. 0:24:52.040 --> 0:24:54.480 So if you do have issues in Londonderry, make sure 0:24:54.520 --> 0:24:56.480 you still take them to the office of preu car 0:24:56.520 --> 0:24:58.720 all the thoughts of everyone here at two GB with 0:24:58.760 --> 0:25:02.280 the Deputy Premier. Climate activist Greta Thunberg is now in 0:25:02.320 --> 0:25:05.720 custody with the Israelis after she was aboard a vessel 0:25:05.800 --> 0:25:08.800 that had headed to Gaza to protest the treatment of 0:25:09.000 --> 0:25:12.919 Israel against the people in Gaza pro Palestinian protests. The 0:25:12.960 --> 0:25:16.600 Israeli Defense Minister has today ordered the Greta Thunberg be 0:25:16.680 --> 0:25:19.680 shown a video of the atrocities committed during the Hamas 0:25:19.680 --> 0:25:24.040 attack on October seven, twenty and twenty three. He says 0:25:24.080 --> 0:25:26.840 it may well change her perspective. Three one eight seven 0:25:26.880 --> 0:25:29.080 three is our number. A man is before the courts 0:25:29.119 --> 0:25:32.680 after being arrested over a bag snatch. Now the man 0:25:32.760 --> 0:25:37.119 is innocent until pleaded until proven guilty, but he's accused 0:25:37.200 --> 0:25:39.680 of attacking a seventy three year old at toun Gaby 0:25:39.760 --> 0:25:43.000 Radio railway station. Fortunately the woman was an in gyp. 0:25:43.080 --> 0:25:44.720 She was taking a hospital and she was checked over. 0:25:44.800 --> 0:25:47.600 She was actually okay. Police then arrested a twenty one 0:25:47.680 --> 0:25:50.320 year old man of the service station, Pendall Hill. He's 0:25:50.359 --> 0:25:53.520 been charged with stealing from a person. He's appearing before. 0:25:53.320 --> 0:25:57.960 The courts Sidney now with Clinton Maynard. If it's happening 0:25:57.960 --> 0:26:01.199 in your sitting, you'll hear it. Monti Now it's to. 0:26:01.320 --> 0:26:03.560 Gb it's called to the four. Have you noticed the 0:26:03.600 --> 0:26:07.360 price of berries, in particular blueberries. We are in courage 0:26:07.359 --> 0:26:10.960 to eat blueberries. They're regarded as one of nature's super foods. 0:26:10.960 --> 0:26:15.040 They're great for you. Supermarket prices have reached nine dollars 0:26:15.080 --> 0:26:17.280 eighty for a punnet. Now a punet's about one hundred 0:26:17.280 --> 0:26:19.359 and twenty five grams, and that's much higher than the 0:26:19.359 --> 0:26:22.639 prices usually are in winter. And I was wondering whether 0:26:22.800 --> 0:26:25.399 the floods are responsible. No, it's not. The floods is 0:26:25.400 --> 0:26:27.439 at the time of the year. Apparently it's going to 0:26:27.480 --> 0:26:30.920 take longer for the berri's prices to come back down. 0:26:31.480 --> 0:26:34.639 Rachel mackenzie is the executive director of Berries Australia and 0:26:34.760 --> 0:26:37.360 joins us. So thank you for your time, Rachel, You're 0:26:37.400 --> 0:26:42.360 welcome via blueberries in particular, so expensive at the moment, Well. 0:26:42.200 --> 0:26:44.880 It always happens this time of year. It is actually 0:26:44.920 --> 0:26:48.240 a gap in our supply. So whilst we do grow 0:26:48.359 --> 0:26:51.399 blueberries twelve months of the year here in Australia and 0:26:51.440 --> 0:26:54.439 are actually the only country to do so, it is 0:26:54.640 --> 0:26:59.640 just a trickle at this time of year. However, consumers 0:26:59.640 --> 0:27:03.400 should be pleased to know that supply will pick up 0:27:03.480 --> 0:27:06.600 fairly soon and that will certainly impact price. 0:27:06.720 --> 0:27:09.119 Because I was wondering, I know a lot of blueberries 0:27:09.240 --> 0:27:11.960 are grown around Coff's Harbor and obviously the Mid North Coast, 0:27:11.960 --> 0:27:13.359 and I was there a couple of weeks ago. It 0:27:13.359 --> 0:27:15.320 has been affected by the flood so I thought perhaps 0:27:15.320 --> 0:27:16.240 it was linked to the weather. 0:27:17.440 --> 0:27:21.560 Not at this time of year, this is pretty standard. However, 0:27:22.080 --> 0:27:25.840 the floods will potentially have an impact on supply in 0:27:25.880 --> 0:27:29.120 a few weeks time. We're looking at maybe a reduction 0:27:29.240 --> 0:27:34.240 of around twenty five percent, So the fruit that was 0:27:34.320 --> 0:27:38.719 impacted by the floods would not be coming onto the 0:27:38.760 --> 0:27:41.720 shelves at the moment. Okay, certainly in a few weeks 0:27:41.720 --> 0:27:43.119 time it may have some impact. 0:27:43.240 --> 0:27:44.680 So does that mean it's going to take a little 0:27:44.680 --> 0:27:46.560 bit longer for the prices to come down to where 0:27:46.560 --> 0:27:47.520 they normally would be. 0:27:48.240 --> 0:27:51.720 Yeah, I think that's a reasonable assessment. It's hard to know, 0:27:52.080 --> 0:27:56.200 particularly as there is more and more production, especially over 0:27:56.320 --> 0:27:59.920 in Western Australia, which might balance out that impact on 0:28:00.080 --> 0:28:02.879 the coffs have a region, but I would expect that 0:28:03.320 --> 0:28:05.320 there will be a drop in supply and that does 0:28:05.440 --> 0:28:08.960 lead to increased prices. However, we are coming into our 0:28:09.000 --> 0:28:12.400 peak season and you know prices can drop as low 0:28:12.440 --> 0:28:14.600 as two dollars eighty a punt like they did last year. 0:28:14.680 --> 0:28:18.280 What about strawberry prices At the moment strawberry prices are 0:28:18.320 --> 0:28:19.080 also high. 0:28:19.200 --> 0:28:22.840 Again, we are just in that seasonal gap. So Australia's 0:28:22.880 --> 0:28:28.040 pretty lucky. We've got a very strong summer production window 0:28:28.280 --> 0:28:32.280 in Victoria and Tasmania and then Queen Zone really picks 0:28:32.359 --> 0:28:36.280 up the slack for winter. But we're just in that 0:28:36.320 --> 0:28:38.640 little in between period where there's not a lot of 0:28:38.640 --> 0:28:39.320 fruit around. 0:28:39.520 --> 0:28:42.840 Just wondering whether Aussies have sort of changed their expectations 0:28:42.840 --> 0:28:44.840 when it comes to fresh fruit and vegs these days, 0:28:44.880 --> 0:28:48.240 that there's almost an expectation that you've got good quality 0:28:48.440 --> 0:28:50.160 and good value all year round. 0:28:51.640 --> 0:28:51.880 Yeah. 0:28:51.880 --> 0:28:53.840 Look, I think it is an interesting one because I 0:28:53.840 --> 0:28:58.080 think we all want the best product, and the best 0:28:58.120 --> 0:29:02.080 product grows in the season that feeds it. And we're 0:29:02.080 --> 0:29:04.760 not a country that imports a lot of products across 0:29:04.760 --> 0:29:08.520 the full suite of fruit and vegetables. So I think 0:29:09.080 --> 0:29:14.320 as consumers, my advice is really take advantage of the 0:29:14.320 --> 0:29:17.400 product when it is in peak season, because not only 0:29:17.480 --> 0:29:20.080 will it be less expensive, but it will just be 0:29:20.320 --> 0:29:21.440 the best quality then. 0:29:21.320 --> 0:29:24.840 Too, makes some sense. Thank you, Rachel, Thanks very much, 0:29:24.960 --> 0:29:27.680 Rachel McKenzie, who's the executive director of Berry Is Australia. 0:29:27.720 --> 0:29:29.920 So the price should start coming down on LI. But 0:29:30.000 --> 0:29:32.240 I do think maybe we've changed their attitudes compared to say, 0:29:32.240 --> 0:29:35.640 when we're kids, we are so lucky compared to most 0:29:35.680 --> 0:29:38.800 other countries that we have this amazing abundance supply of 0:29:38.840 --> 0:29:41.440 fresh fruit in particular and veg as well. You always 0:29:41.480 --> 0:29:45.520 start to build this expectation that it's always available depending 0:29:45.560 --> 0:29:47.560 not depending on what season we're in, and that it's 0:29:47.600 --> 0:29:50.040 a good price. Is Grant on the text line says 0:29:50.040 --> 0:29:52.160 you got to start driving down to the Highlands and 0:29:52.200 --> 0:29:54.840 shopping at the Robertson fruit shop. They have two punts 0:29:54.840 --> 0:29:57.400 of berries the other day for five bucks two punts 0:29:57.440 --> 0:30:01.440 of strawberries, similar price, best fruit and edgies in the Highland. 0:30:02.360 --> 0:30:04.400 So that's Robertson. I thought Roberson was just home to 0:30:04.440 --> 0:30:07.640 the potatoes. Keet me started on the big potato. Do 0:30:07.680 --> 0:30:10.120 you have solar panels on your roof? Well, the state 0:30:10.160 --> 0:30:13.000 government is today announced an additional incentive for you to 0:30:13.000 --> 0:30:15.440 get a battery for your solar panels. Because it's all 0:30:15.440 --> 0:30:19.000 well and good for you to generate electricity through your panels. 0:30:19.080 --> 0:30:20.520 But if that's all happening in the middle of the 0:30:20.560 --> 0:30:22.080 day and you want to use the solar at night 0:30:22.160 --> 0:30:24.400 and it disappears, well, fat lot of good it is, 0:30:24.480 --> 0:30:27.120 so really it makes sense to have a battery, but 0:30:27.160 --> 0:30:30.600 the price of batteries is hideous. So what the government 0:30:30.640 --> 0:30:33.080 along with the federal government, has done today is is 0:30:33.200 --> 0:30:36.760 effectively double the incentive. So there'll be a fifteen hundred 0:30:36.800 --> 0:30:39.720 dollar payment if you install a battery and you're connected 0:30:39.760 --> 0:30:42.520 to the virtual power plant. The virtual power plant is 0:30:42.560 --> 0:30:47.360 basically it shared electricity with your neighbors. So overall, the 0:30:47.440 --> 0:30:51.640 combined benefit is going to be five thousand dollars up front. So, 0:30:51.840 --> 0:30:55.560 for instance, you install an eleven and a half kilowatt system, 0:30:56.040 --> 0:30:59.520 which I understand costs about ten thousand dollars. You'll get 0:30:59.520 --> 0:31:01.560 a support payment of five thousand, so you'll still be 0:31:01.600 --> 0:31:03.720 up for five thousand dollars, but it may well help 0:31:03.720 --> 0:31:06.000 you save in the long run if you install a 0:31:06.080 --> 0:31:09.680 large battery. So at twenty seven kilo battery, now that 0:31:09.920 --> 0:31:13.280 cost thirty thousand dollars. You've received a discount of around 0:31:13.280 --> 0:31:15.760 ten thousand from the Commonwealth program and then there's an 0:31:15.800 --> 0:31:19.239 upfront payment of fifteen hundred from New South Wales. And 0:31:19.440 --> 0:31:21.640 the reality is a lot of Australians, whatever you think 0:31:21.640 --> 0:31:25.680 about renewable energy, a huge proportion of Australians have solar 0:31:25.680 --> 0:31:28.320 panels on their roof. It actually has been a very 0:31:28.320 --> 0:31:30.880 popular form of power, but it doesn't really work unless 0:31:30.880 --> 0:31:32.920 you've got a battery. And I think the percentage of 0:31:32.920 --> 0:31:35.320 Australians who have solar but have a battery is about 0:31:35.360 --> 0:31:38.959 fifteen percent. It's tiny and it's because of the price. 0:31:39.080 --> 0:31:43.160 So this is probably smart from both the governments. I 0:31:43.320 --> 0:31:47.920 just wish when originally, say twenty years ago, the push 0:31:47.920 --> 0:31:52.080 for renewable started, instead of our authorities and our government's 0:31:52.120 --> 0:31:58.320 thinking about offshore wind farms, thinking about solar panels in 0:31:58.360 --> 0:32:01.640 bush areas in agricultural is Why didn't they start thinking 0:32:01.640 --> 0:32:04.360 about the way we use solar panels in suburban areas 0:32:04.360 --> 0:32:06.479 that have been popular in this country for years. Why 0:32:06.560 --> 0:32:09.479 didn't we introduce battery schemes and put the investment in 0:32:09.560 --> 0:32:14.040 batteries and rooftop solar ten fifteen years ago rather than say, 0:32:14.440 --> 0:32:17.000 let's build offs your wind farms. Wouldn't that make more sense. 0:32:17.800 --> 0:32:21.680 Sydney now with Clinton Maynard. If it's happening in your sitting, 0:32:22.040 --> 0:32:24.240 you'll hear it on Sydney now to. 0:32:24.320 --> 0:32:27.840 Ginb if you'd send a text message zero force zero 0:32:27.920 --> 0:32:30.520 eight seven three eight seven to three of the prices 0:32:30.560 --> 0:32:33.080 of fresh fruit and vege at the moment James is 0:32:33.080 --> 0:32:36.600 telling me about round beans twenty four to ninety nine 0:32:36.720 --> 0:32:40.640 a kilogram at pendor Hill Market, You've got to be kidding. Well, 0:32:40.680 --> 0:32:42.640 I guess that's when you don't buy your round beans. 0:32:43.000 --> 0:32:45.440 I guess we need to be selective when we're buying 0:32:45.520 --> 0:32:47.720 fresh fruit and fitch. Look. I spoke at the start 0:32:47.760 --> 0:32:50.600 of the program about the police operation on the roads 0:32:51.080 --> 0:32:53.880 across the weekend more than four thousand people caught speeding. 0:32:54.720 --> 0:32:58.720 Reality is I just wonder whether the double demerit point 0:32:59.160 --> 0:33:01.720 threat is still a effective. We've been doing it for 0:33:01.840 --> 0:33:04.120 years and the number of bit more speeding keeps going 0:33:04.200 --> 0:33:07.200 up every holiday period. I think we need to start 0:33:07.240 --> 0:33:11.520 the process of road safety, better road safety by changing 0:33:11.560 --> 0:33:14.400 the way we train junior drivers, how we train our 0:33:14.440 --> 0:33:17.200 sixteen year olds and our seventeen year olds, have more 0:33:17.200 --> 0:33:22.360 advanced driver training, defensive driving, having a stricter system of testing. 0:33:23.160 --> 0:33:25.800 But I had a few text messages when I raised 0:33:25.920 --> 0:33:28.040 the issues of the road till last week, suggesting that 0:33:28.080 --> 0:33:31.000 we do what they do in Europe and introduce speed 0:33:31.040 --> 0:33:34.400 limitters in our car. Some of our listeners were arguing 0:33:34.440 --> 0:33:36.200 with me, what's the point in having a car that's 0:33:36.240 --> 0:33:38.120 capable of doing one hundred and eighty kil limmeters now 0:33:38.720 --> 0:33:41.320 when the speed zones one hundred and ten now. Appreciate 0:33:41.320 --> 0:33:43.720 your perspective there, But I was reading today about the 0:33:43.800 --> 0:33:47.200 latest VW golf and the technology that is being used 0:33:47.240 --> 0:33:49.760 in Europe, and in Europe it includes a mandate for 0:33:49.800 --> 0:33:52.920 speed limitters in cars. Now, I actually think that is 0:33:53.040 --> 0:33:56.280 verging on George or or nineteen eighty four stuff. I 0:33:56.280 --> 0:33:58.280 think that'd be going too far. I don't think we 0:33:58.320 --> 0:34:00.600 want to get to the point where the government the 0:34:00.680 --> 0:34:04.240 authorities are able to control using technology how fast we drive. 0:34:04.800 --> 0:34:07.560 That's going too far. Let's start with our sixteen year 0:34:07.600 --> 0:34:09.640 olds and seventeen year olds and training them better in 0:34:09.640 --> 0:34:13.440 the first place, and then testing them more thoroughly. But 0:34:13.480 --> 0:34:16.319 I bring this up because VW has confirmed they will 0:34:16.360 --> 0:34:20.080 not activate this software for their latest golf in our market. 0:34:20.640 --> 0:34:23.520 They say that there are issues with how the software 0:34:23.560 --> 0:34:25.919 can be used. Now, if you have a modern car, 0:34:26.120 --> 0:34:29.160 you may have a dashboard, for instance, and technology with 0:34:29.200 --> 0:34:33.480 cameras in your car that can pick up roadside speed signs. 0:34:34.480 --> 0:34:37.200 Have you noticed they're often wrong? Now we've got that 0:34:37.280 --> 0:34:40.759 in Oursuzomox, and you might be going through a seventy zone, 0:34:41.080 --> 0:34:43.319 for instance, a ninety pops up because it doesn't read 0:34:43.360 --> 0:34:45.879 the sign correctly. And the way the technology works, it's 0:34:45.880 --> 0:34:48.920 actually quite impressive when it works, and you'll get a 0:34:48.960 --> 0:34:51.440 little warning on your dashboard saying you're going through a 0:34:51.480 --> 0:34:53.839 sixty zone and it might start flashing if you go 0:34:53.920 --> 0:34:56.319 sixty six. Well, the way it works in Europe, and 0:34:56.400 --> 0:34:58.960 the technology in Europe is not it's compulsory in cars, 0:34:59.000 --> 0:35:01.480 in new cars, but a driver can actually switch it 0:35:01.520 --> 0:35:04.239 off the way it works in Europe when you go 0:35:04.320 --> 0:35:08.279 through a speed zone and if the camera detects you 0:35:08.440 --> 0:35:11.240 driving at sixty five and a sixty zone, there's gentle 0:35:11.280 --> 0:35:14.839 pushback on your throttle and there's an autonomous reduction in 0:35:14.880 --> 0:35:18.840 your engine power. Now VW says here they will not 0:35:18.960 --> 0:35:21.840 do that because they've seen with some other manufacturers the 0:35:21.880 --> 0:35:24.640 technology not working properly. And I've seen that with our 0:35:24.680 --> 0:35:27.880 own car that sometimes the cameras don't read those speed 0:35:27.920 --> 0:35:31.319 signs correctly. So I don't think we want to go 0:35:31.360 --> 0:35:33.759 down that path, but there's probably a reality of how 0:35:33.800 --> 0:35:35.759 the future is going to work, and I don't want 0:35:35.800 --> 0:35:38.240 to see the day we're a government, the police force 0:35:38.520 --> 0:35:41.360 Transport for New South Wales can control your speed behind 0:35:41.400 --> 0:35:44.720 the wheel. I think that's going way too far, I reckon. Honestly. 0:35:44.760 --> 0:35:46.880 What we need to do is tough en up the 0:35:46.880 --> 0:35:49.480 way we try and drivers in the first place have 0:35:49.680 --> 0:35:53.120 advanced driving courses as mandatory is part of the system, 0:35:53.200 --> 0:35:56.000 and then when kids are actually sitting for their license, 0:35:56.560 --> 0:36:01.319 a tougher system there side. 0:36:01.480 --> 0:36:03.280 Now we've clinton. 0:36:03.880 --> 0:36:07.279 On t GB seven past four one three eight seventy three. 0:36:07.440 --> 0:36:10.440 I'm looking at live pictures being the courtesy of sky 0:36:10.880 --> 0:36:13.520 from the streets of LA. It is just gone eleven 0:36:13.520 --> 0:36:16.480 o'clock at night and there are still fires burning. I'm 0:36:16.520 --> 0:36:18.960 looking at some vision from an intersection. This is a 0:36:18.960 --> 0:36:21.479 major intersection, and this is an area of LA where 0:36:21.680 --> 0:36:24.120 effectively they're under curfew. Now people aren't meant to be 0:36:24.160 --> 0:36:26.160 out in the streets, and there is a fire burning 0:36:26.320 --> 0:36:28.880 right in the middle of the intersection. There are still 0:36:28.960 --> 0:36:32.200 ongoing clashes between the protesters, some who've been taken to 0:36:32.239 --> 0:36:35.680 the custody and police along with the National Guard and 0:36:35.760 --> 0:36:38.399 now the Marines. There have been seven hundred Marines who've 0:36:38.719 --> 0:36:43.000 been deployed to LA and that decision by Donald Trump 0:36:43.040 --> 0:36:47.120 and his administration has been criticized by the Democrat Governor 0:36:47.640 --> 0:36:51.640 Gavin Newsom. He is condemned it as being an American 0:36:52.320 --> 0:36:54.520 that's what he says. He says, this should not be 0:36:54.600 --> 0:36:57.480 a role of marines. He says, marines are heroes who 0:36:57.480 --> 0:37:00.239 have served their country defending democracy. They should not be 0:37:00.239 --> 0:37:04.840 deployed on American soil, facing their own countrymen to fulfill 0:37:05.200 --> 0:37:10.319 the deranged fantasy of a dictatorial president. I mean when 0:37:10.320 --> 0:37:12.759 he does say to take on their own countrymen, Well, 0:37:13.360 --> 0:37:15.600 what mister Trump is doing here and not defending what's 0:37:15.600 --> 0:37:18.280 actually happening. But well, some of them aren't their own countrymen, 0:37:18.360 --> 0:37:22.279 because some of them are illegal immigrants. This is what 0:37:22.320 --> 0:37:23.439 mister Trump has had to say. 0:37:23.560 --> 0:37:26.560 He's destroying one of our great states. And if they 0:37:26.600 --> 0:37:28.759 didn't get involved, if we didn't bring the guard in, 0:37:29.280 --> 0:37:31.480 and we would bring Mauren if we needed it, because 0:37:31.480 --> 0:37:33.799 we have to make sure there's going to be law 0:37:33.840 --> 0:37:37.680 in order, you had a disaster happening. 0:37:38.400 --> 0:37:40.239 So for the moment, there does not seem to be 0:37:40.400 --> 0:37:43.080 any breakthrough in what's happening on the streets of la 0:37:43.440 --> 0:37:46.120 given that we are now well after eleven o'clock at 0:37:46.280 --> 0:37:50.640 night and these clashes are continuing. Lauren to Marzi nine's reporter, 0:37:50.719 --> 0:37:52.720 and you've now would have seen the video of Lauren 0:37:52.760 --> 0:37:56.200 being shot with a rubber bullet. She has now spoken 0:37:56.239 --> 0:37:58.040 with the Prime Minister Anthony Albanezi. 0:37:58.360 --> 0:38:03.080 Well, I spoke with Lauren the small warning and she's going, okay, 0:38:03.200 --> 0:38:05.080 she's pretty resilient, I've got to say. 0:38:06.280 --> 0:38:08.800 But that footage was horrific. 0:38:09.520 --> 0:38:13.719 That was the footage of an Australian journalist doing what 0:38:13.840 --> 0:38:17.720 journalists do at their very best, at their very best, 0:38:18.520 --> 0:38:19.560 which is to go. 0:38:19.480 --> 0:38:22.560 Into an environment that's not comfortable. 0:38:23.320 --> 0:38:27.680 But where in LA it is not unreasonable to think 0:38:27.760 --> 0:38:31.480 that she would not have been targeted with a rubber bullet. 0:38:32.560 --> 0:38:35.120 It is not unreasonable to think that she could go 0:38:35.200 --> 0:38:38.280 about her coverage clearly as people can see the footage 0:38:38.520 --> 0:38:44.560 clearly identified as media. And so we have already raised 0:38:45.200 --> 0:38:50.560 these issues with the US administration. We don't find it 0:38:50.800 --> 0:38:54.520 acceptable that it occurred, and we think the role of 0:38:54.560 --> 0:38:58.440 the media is particularly important. 0:38:58.719 --> 0:39:00.760 Is that something you'll raise personally with the president. 0:39:00.800 --> 0:39:04.840 Well, discussions I have with the president, discussions between myself 0:39:04.880 --> 0:39:09.080 and the president. That's the way I deal with people, diplomatically, 0:39:09.520 --> 0:39:15.279 appropriately and with respect. So I'll leave the discussions with 0:39:15.360 --> 0:39:19.319 the President untill they occur, rather than full shadow them. 0:39:19.840 --> 0:39:23.400 The Prime Minister speaking of the National Press Club until six. 0:39:23.719 --> 0:39:27.040 This is Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard on two GB 0:39:27.560 --> 0:39:30.080 Call now one three, one eighty seven three. 0:39:30.280 --> 0:39:32.520 It's ten pasts four word on the street thanks to Temper, 0:39:32.560 --> 0:39:35.400 a great night's sleep, night after night. The difference is temper. 0:39:35.600 --> 0:39:38.520 And this is a little curious. Paul's at Central station 0:39:38.840 --> 0:39:39.480 at the moment. 0:39:39.760 --> 0:39:42.759 What do you get to tell us, Paul, Hey there, Clinton, Yeah, 0:39:42.880 --> 0:39:45.080 just just a random one. I was just at Central Station, 0:39:45.760 --> 0:39:49.080 nothing terribly important, but look the Australian flag on the 0:39:49.160 --> 0:39:51.520 quop tower there at Central Station is flying at half 0:39:51.600 --> 0:39:54.279 mass currently and I was curious as to why that 0:39:54.320 --> 0:39:54.880 probably is. 0:39:55.080 --> 0:40:01.520 So this is the flag outside Central Station, the main tower. Yeah, okay, 0:40:01.680 --> 0:40:04.319 we'll see if we can find out what's going on there. 0:40:04.640 --> 0:40:07.400 I'm not aware off the top of my head where 0:40:07.440 --> 0:40:10.399 the somebody of note has passed away in the past 0:40:10.440 --> 0:40:13.239 twenty four hours that would deem that we that we 0:40:13.360 --> 0:40:16.960 lower flags. Actually, my staff have just been in contact 0:40:16.960 --> 0:40:19.960 with Transport for New South Wales. Okay, now this is 0:40:20.000 --> 0:40:24.120 the answer. Oh, now the flag pole is damaged. The 0:40:24.200 --> 0:40:27.640 flagpole actually has sustained some sort of damage. They're waiting 0:40:27.640 --> 0:40:30.160 for it to be fixed. That's why the floonne is 0:40:30.200 --> 0:40:32.600 being flown. The flag is being flown at what looks 0:40:32.680 --> 0:40:35.359 like it's half masted. Is it's not actually at half 0:40:35.400 --> 0:40:38.640 master the moment because of somebody who has passed away 0:40:38.840 --> 0:40:41.680 as a sign of respect, the flagpole itself has actually 0:40:41.719 --> 0:40:45.920 been damaged. If there's something you'd like us to check out, 0:40:46.000 --> 0:40:48.040 you can always send me a text message zero fourth 0:40:48.280 --> 0:40:51.000 zero eight seven three eight seven three. We spoke a 0:40:51.040 --> 0:40:53.040 lot in the past couple of weeks about home insurance 0:40:53.040 --> 0:40:56.160 premiums in light of the floods and the natural disasters 0:40:56.200 --> 0:40:58.120 that we've experienced over the past couple of years, and 0:40:58.120 --> 0:41:01.040 it's had the effect of pushing home insurance premiums up 0:41:01.080 --> 0:41:04.239 and for many people, to completely unsustainable levels. But what 0:41:04.360 --> 0:41:06.480 about your car insurance? Have you had a look at 0:41:06.520 --> 0:41:10.560 what your car insurance premium is? Stats released by Canstar 0:41:10.719 --> 0:41:13.520 show prices have risen six percent over the past year, 0:41:13.840 --> 0:41:16.440 so inflation is now well below three percent, so it 0:41:16.480 --> 0:41:19.759 is more double the inflation rate. The average cost of 0:41:19.840 --> 0:41:22.600 comprehensive car insurance has increased by one hundred and twenty 0:41:22.600 --> 0:41:26.040 two dollars. Mature drivers now that is a driver judged 0:41:26.040 --> 0:41:28.400 to be over the age of fifty, have experienced the 0:41:28.440 --> 0:41:31.680 biggest jump in prices, by six and a half percent, 0:41:32.400 --> 0:41:35.760 so they're now paying two hundred and sixty dollars on average. 0:41:35.760 --> 0:41:37.440 But they're not paying the most. The title goes to 0:41:37.480 --> 0:41:40.439 young mail drivers, probably not a huge surprise. Those under 0:41:40.440 --> 0:41:43.080 the age of twenty five, they're facing angel premiums of 0:41:43.360 --> 0:41:46.960 three thousand dollars. The research also shows that by switching 0:41:46.960 --> 0:41:49.120 insurers you could save a bit of money. Loo'd love 0:41:49.160 --> 0:41:51.480 to hear from you about your car insurance premiums in 0:41:51.520 --> 0:41:54.279 particular one three, one, eight seventy three. Have you had 0:41:54.280 --> 0:41:58.759 to renew of late? I received mine last week by coincidences, 0:41:58.760 --> 0:42:01.640 not actually why we're raising this. And yes, it's gone 0:42:01.680 --> 0:42:04.120 up even though the value of the car has gone down. 0:42:04.440 --> 0:42:08.200 Sally Tindall is the data insights director of Cansder. Hello Sally, 0:42:08.840 --> 0:42:11.120 Hello Clinton, how are you? I'm good. The cost of 0:42:11.160 --> 0:42:14.400 car insurance is up by six percent, so that's double inflation. 0:42:15.320 --> 0:42:16.320 Yeah, it's incredible. 0:42:16.360 --> 0:42:19.000 And look it's a lot smaller rise than it was 0:42:19.040 --> 0:42:21.400 the year before the year before when we did similar quoting, 0:42:21.440 --> 0:42:24.319 it went up by thirty point five percent if you 0:42:24.320 --> 0:42:26.880 can believe that, but you probably can because you probably 0:42:26.880 --> 0:42:29.239 fell off your chair when you've got your premium at 0:42:29.239 --> 0:42:30.040 that point in time. 0:42:30.280 --> 0:42:32.400 But you know, we go, okay, well it's a lot 0:42:32.480 --> 0:42:35.200 lower than last year, but it's still adding on top 0:42:35.200 --> 0:42:37.640 of it. We're not seeing car insurance premiums go down. 0:42:37.760 --> 0:42:40.960 I don't know if we'll ever see that day. The 0:42:41.000 --> 0:42:45.200 average premiums that is thirty percent rise in twenty four 0:42:45.360 --> 0:42:49.240 and a six percent rise in twenty five. That adds 0:42:49.320 --> 0:42:52.120 to a very expensive car insurance bill if you're not 0:42:52.160 --> 0:42:52.800 shopping around. 0:42:52.880 --> 0:42:54.880 Well, that six percent is much better than previously or 0:42:54.880 --> 0:42:56.920 what it was, so that's that's encouraging. I mean, I 0:42:56.960 --> 0:43:00.640 noticed mine was the averages twelve sixty, two hundred and sixty. 0:43:00.640 --> 0:43:02.680 That's pretty much what mine came in at the other day. 0:43:02.840 --> 0:43:04.640 I mean, there are so many variables though, it's not 0:43:04.680 --> 0:43:06.560 just your age, the value of your car, where you live. 0:43:07.360 --> 0:43:10.440 Oh, absolutely, it can really add a lot to it. 0:43:11.000 --> 0:43:14.200 You know what kind of registered drivers you have on there. 0:43:14.280 --> 0:43:16.560 You know whether you've got a no claim discount, whether 0:43:16.600 --> 0:43:20.040 you've got a safe driving record. It's incredible the level 0:43:20.080 --> 0:43:22.760 of detail some insurers are asking you. I just jumped 0:43:22.760 --> 0:43:25.399 on to UI the other night just to check out 0:43:25.440 --> 0:43:28.120 their process, and they were asking me whether I used 0:43:28.480 --> 0:43:31.279 hands free with my mobile phone, how many times I 0:43:31.360 --> 0:43:35.040 might use my mobile phone in the car. Yeah, it's incredible. 0:43:35.120 --> 0:43:38.040 And if they're asking you these questions, it means that 0:43:38.200 --> 0:43:41.960 they are putting that into their matetrix to understand the 0:43:42.080 --> 0:43:45.400 risk that you pose to them as an insuranquipment. 0:43:45.480 --> 0:43:47.759 Well, could that be a good thing in that you 0:43:47.840 --> 0:43:50.520 could if you're a safe driver who has good habits 0:43:50.560 --> 0:43:53.399 behind the wheel, that you could be selling yourself as 0:43:53.840 --> 0:43:54.720 a model driver. 0:43:55.800 --> 0:43:59.920 Absolutely, and this is perhaps the future in car insurance. 0:44:00.000 --> 0:44:04.240 It's called calimatics, I'm told, or black box car insurance. Rollin' 0:44:04.400 --> 0:44:07.759 Insurance actually offers this as a feature to its customers, 0:44:07.960 --> 0:44:10.520 where you could download an app and have it running 0:44:10.600 --> 0:44:13.040 every time that you're in the car, and it can 0:44:13.080 --> 0:44:17.400 measure things like you're breaking strength or speed you're cornering. 0:44:18.320 --> 0:44:21.759 It's incredible, but and for me, I'm thinking, oh my god, 0:44:21.760 --> 0:44:24.160 I'm driving with two kids is stressful enough. But for 0:44:24.280 --> 0:44:27.880 someone that's an incredibly safe driver and won't get stressed 0:44:27.880 --> 0:44:29.799 by some that kind of app, you know, that could 0:44:29.840 --> 0:44:32.480 be a really good way to explain to the insurer 0:44:32.600 --> 0:44:34.120 that you are a low risk driver. 0:44:34.600 --> 0:44:37.160 The title for the most expensive insurance belongs to young 0:44:37.200 --> 0:44:39.000 male drivers under the age of twenty five. And look, 0:44:39.040 --> 0:44:41.560 that doesn't surprise any of us. They're probably the greatest risk. 0:44:41.600 --> 0:44:44.640 But the big increases for drivers over the age of fifty. 0:44:44.760 --> 0:44:45.959 Why do you think that's been the case? 0:44:47.040 --> 0:44:50.040 Oh look, I'm actually not sure exactly why that's going up, 0:44:50.040 --> 0:44:52.680 but I would note that their premiums actually are a 0:44:52.719 --> 0:44:56.040 lot lower than some of the others, in fact, all 0:44:56.120 --> 0:44:58.360 of the others looking down this list, so they actually 0:44:58.400 --> 0:45:03.360 have on average the cheapest premiums age people driving over fifty. 0:45:04.000 --> 0:45:07.720 But that increase has gone up this particularly and maybe 0:45:07.719 --> 0:45:11.120 there's gene you know data, you know, maybe it's been 0:45:11.120 --> 0:45:13.600 a particularly bad year for drivers over fifty. I'm not 0:45:13.760 --> 0:45:17.280 entirely sure, but at one two hundred and sixty dollars, 0:45:18.160 --> 0:45:23.440 that's actually unfortunately cheap compared to the under twenty five mails, 0:45:23.440 --> 0:45:26.680 which you said were three thousand dollars. You know, it's 0:45:27.680 --> 0:45:30.080 less than half of what the under twenty five mails 0:45:30.080 --> 0:45:33.719 are paying. And you know, as you said, no surprises there. 0:45:33.760 --> 0:45:35.520 As to wife, how can we save money? 0:45:36.280 --> 0:45:39.440 Okay, Well, first of all, I would say, compare, Compare, compare. 0:45:39.480 --> 0:45:42.920 You use your annual renewal notice not as a box 0:45:43.000 --> 0:45:45.759 to tick and flick and just pay that figure on 0:45:45.800 --> 0:45:49.080 the page, but to check if there's a cheaper deal 0:45:49.120 --> 0:45:52.640 out there. Our research shows that if someone switched from 0:45:52.800 --> 0:45:57.279 the average priced policy to a five star rated one 0:45:57.880 --> 0:46:01.399 from our site we rerate them, you could save six 0:46:01.480 --> 0:46:04.960 hundred and ninety two dollars from the average premium. That's 0:46:04.960 --> 0:46:09.000 a drop of thirty one point one percent what are 0:46:09.040 --> 0:46:12.480 savings there six hundred and ninety two dollars just by 0:46:12.480 --> 0:46:14.960 shopping around. But I would say when you are shopping 0:46:15.000 --> 0:46:17.440 around for car insurance, it's not a race for the bottom. 0:46:17.480 --> 0:46:20.000 You're not looking for the cheapest price policy you can 0:46:20.040 --> 0:46:22.959 possibly find. You actually want to get value for money. 0:46:23.000 --> 0:46:25.839 You want to have the features and the coverage just 0:46:25.880 --> 0:46:28.799 in case you do have an accident, and so it's 0:46:28.840 --> 0:46:32.040 important to read the fine print. It's important to do 0:46:32.160 --> 0:46:36.360 a good comparison. But you can also jump onto our site. 0:46:36.520 --> 0:46:37.840 We've done the hard work for you. 0:46:38.000 --> 0:46:38.239 Ie. 0:46:38.440 --> 0:46:40.840 We've gone through I'm not kidding when I say the 0:46:40.960 --> 0:46:45.080 team has gone through sixty seven thousand car insurance quotes. 0:46:45.120 --> 0:46:47.640 They do that once a year to work out what 0:46:47.719 --> 0:46:49.120 constitutes good value for money. 0:46:49.280 --> 0:46:51.560 You're right about checking what features they offer. We were 0:46:51.560 --> 0:46:53.160 caught out a couple of years ago my wife's car. 0:46:53.239 --> 0:46:55.960 We didn't have the specific extra why they need this, 0:46:56.040 --> 0:46:59.160 I don't know, but the windscreen insurance, we didn't have that, 0:46:59.200 --> 0:47:02.239 and of course the windscreen was hit by a rock 0:47:02.480 --> 0:47:04.200 and cracked. We had to have a new windscreen. Was 0:47:04.200 --> 0:47:06.160 adem expensive windscreen because it was an in new car 0:47:06.200 --> 0:47:08.400 with all the technology that's in a windscreen these days, 0:47:08.880 --> 0:47:11.680 and we lost our excess, which I think was about 0:47:11.719 --> 0:47:13.279 eight hundred dollars, so we would have been much better 0:47:13.320 --> 0:47:16.160 off paying on another twenty five dollars extra for windscreening. 0:47:16.160 --> 0:47:20.439 Current insurance, It's insurance is one of those things where 0:47:20.480 --> 0:47:22.440 it's like, oh, cut a shuit of water when it 0:47:22.440 --> 0:47:24.720 comes to making a claim. And you know, people always 0:47:24.719 --> 0:47:26.640 feel like they're not getting value for money when they're 0:47:26.640 --> 0:47:29.279 not claiming, But as soon as you need to make 0:47:29.320 --> 0:47:31.879 a claim, you'll want that extra insurance. So it's really 0:47:31.880 --> 0:47:34.520 important to look at things like your excess so you 0:47:34.600 --> 0:47:38.200 can One way to save money is to increase your excess, 0:47:38.400 --> 0:47:40.800 but you've got to understand the risk that you're taking 0:47:40.840 --> 0:47:43.120 on by doing that. So for example, I did a 0:47:43.160 --> 0:47:46.640 test on a Toyota Camri twenty sixteen model and I 0:47:46.760 --> 0:47:49.720 found that if I increased my excess from one thousand 0:47:49.800 --> 0:47:53.640 dollars to two thousand dollars, it reduced the annual premium 0:47:53.680 --> 0:47:56.560 by ninety six dollars. Well, that's a great saving if 0:47:56.600 --> 0:47:58.520 you don't need to claim on the excess, but if 0:47:58.560 --> 0:48:00.839 you do in that given year, you're up for an 0:48:00.840 --> 0:48:03.680 extra thousand dollars. So it's you know, it's really. 0:48:03.480 --> 0:48:03.960 A toss up. 0:48:04.000 --> 0:48:06.600 It's a difficult decision for people to make. But if 0:48:06.640 --> 0:48:11.400 you are looking at you know, quitting comprehensive car insurance 0:48:11.440 --> 0:48:14.600 all together and going to third party property or just 0:48:14.719 --> 0:48:17.240 you know, a third party person, which is compulsory obviously, 0:48:18.000 --> 0:48:22.120 then it's absolutely worth looking at things like your excess 0:48:22.160 --> 0:48:24.640 in addition to shopping around to see if you can 0:48:24.719 --> 0:48:25.680 keep that cover. 0:48:25.880 --> 0:48:28.200 Yeah, have so many variables to look at. Thank you Sally, 0:48:28.760 --> 0:48:33.200 Thanks Clinton, Sarry Tymdall from Canstar. So it's not straightforward 0:48:33.239 --> 0:48:35.919 these days because there are so many optional extras as well, 0:48:35.920 --> 0:48:38.560 But the message from Sally is shop around. A Sydney 0:48:38.600 --> 0:48:41.239 school student has won a payout of two hundred and 0:48:41.239 --> 0:48:45.719 seventy six thousand dollars in damage after an incident in 0:48:45.800 --> 0:48:49.279 a sand pit several years ago. It occurred during long 0:48:49.400 --> 0:48:53.120 jumping training at the Neutral Bay Public School. This was 0:48:53.160 --> 0:48:55.879 six years ago. This is twenty nineteen. The child at 0:48:55.880 --> 0:48:59.759 the time was eleven. Sustained injuries after doing the long 0:49:00.200 --> 0:49:03.200 exercise in the sandpit. But the boys landed on the 0:49:03.239 --> 0:49:06.200 sand and has hit something hard below the sand. There's 0:49:06.239 --> 0:49:11.080 something really hit him, causing a significant pain in his back. 0:49:11.160 --> 0:49:13.760 Now this has been before the courts for years and years. 0:49:14.560 --> 0:49:18.279 Well the Court of the Appeal Court has ruled in 0:49:18.360 --> 0:49:20.520 favor of the student and as a result, the New 0:49:20.520 --> 0:49:22.520 South Wales government will have to pay two hundred and 0:49:22.600 --> 0:49:26.520 seventy six thousand dollars in compensation. Twenty four past four. 0:49:26.680 --> 0:49:29.120 I'll come to your cause about insurance in just a moment. 0:49:29.480 --> 0:49:32.000 But I was talking just before the news about the 0:49:32.040 --> 0:49:35.320 technology that's used in Europe where speed can be limited 0:49:35.360 --> 0:49:37.759 in cars based on the cameras that a lot of 0:49:37.760 --> 0:49:41.719 modern cars have now that can read speed signs. Now 0:49:41.840 --> 0:49:44.520 VW today is confirmed they're not going to introduce that 0:49:44.640 --> 0:49:47.120 technology in their new golf on the Australian market because 0:49:47.120 --> 0:49:49.840 they've found that based on what other manufacturers of experience, 0:49:49.920 --> 0:49:53.200 it's not that reliable. Sometimes the car will read the 0:49:53.200 --> 0:49:55.759 wrong speed. And Daniel makes that point in the text line. 0:49:55.840 --> 0:49:58.360 I also have an Iusumux which is what we have. 0:49:58.760 --> 0:50:01.840 I've actually disabled that feature because you go through a 0:50:01.840 --> 0:50:04.040 school zone, it will tell you it should be doing 0:50:04.120 --> 0:50:07.799 forty even when you're outside the school hours. So it's 0:50:07.840 --> 0:50:10.080 not feel proof yet and it just concerns me the 0:50:10.080 --> 0:50:12.319 one day governments are going to use this technology to 0:50:12.360 --> 0:50:15.080 have more control over your car. One three one eight 0:50:15.160 --> 0:50:18.000 seven three is our number talking car insurance up more 0:50:18.000 --> 0:50:21.440 than six percent in the last year. Oh Steve, Oh 0:50:21.560 --> 0:50:24.080 glare Lynn, How are you good, buddy? 0:50:24.280 --> 0:50:27.480 Okay, it's just a couple of things, Okay. Firstly, car insurance, 0:50:28.000 --> 0:50:31.120 it goes up while the value of your car goes down. 0:50:31.360 --> 0:50:31.680 Yes. 0:50:33.560 --> 0:50:36.440 And then you have house insurance. Most house values go 0:50:36.560 --> 0:50:38.440 up and insurance goes up, even though I don't like 0:50:38.480 --> 0:50:41.120 paying it. But there's there's a real issue there when 0:50:41.160 --> 0:50:44.319 something goes down in value, yet the price goes up 0:50:44.360 --> 0:50:48.480 in value. So the payouts clearly across the board have 0:50:48.640 --> 0:50:51.520 to be the profit has to be more for those 0:50:52.280 --> 0:50:55.799 insurers than anyone else. And the other thing that staggers me. 0:50:56.160 --> 0:50:59.319 I've got six windows on my car. Five of them 0:50:59.320 --> 0:51:02.440 are covered by insurance and the other one is it 0:51:02.480 --> 0:51:03.040 not part. 0:51:02.880 --> 0:51:05.600 Of the car and is mind blowing? Yeah, look, this 0:51:05.719 --> 0:51:06.400 frustrated me. 0:51:06.480 --> 0:51:06.799 No end. 0:51:06.800 --> 0:51:08.600 A couple of years ago, when the wind screen of 0:51:08.600 --> 0:51:10.440 my wife's new cars she is driving on the M 0:51:10.520 --> 0:51:12.719 one just had a little stone flick. She didn't even 0:51:12.760 --> 0:51:15.920 notice it until she arrived at her destination. The windscreen 0:51:16.040 --> 0:51:18.560 cost twelve hundred dollars to replace, so we took up 0:51:18.600 --> 0:51:20.479 the excess. We had an eight hundred dollars excess because 0:51:20.480 --> 0:51:22.840 we didn't have the special wind screen insurance. Why is 0:51:22.880 --> 0:51:25.240 the wind screen different to your backwindow exactly? 0:51:25.320 --> 0:51:28.040 And we just all accepted it as we have ridiculous 0:51:28.040 --> 0:51:32.840 cycle or fuel. We just accept these things. Unfortunately, I 0:51:32.840 --> 0:51:34.880 don't know what you do about it, but yeah, I 0:51:34.880 --> 0:51:36.600 think they're valid points. 0:51:36.640 --> 0:51:38.640 I'm with you, Steve, Thank you. Mate. On the text line, 0:51:38.680 --> 0:51:40.760 Emma says, we have a towing business in the Hills 0:51:40.760 --> 0:51:42.920 area of Sydney. We are finding a lot of people 0:51:43.040 --> 0:51:46.080 are not insured. They only have third party people are 0:51:46.080 --> 0:51:49.760 canceling their comprehensive insurance due to the cost. Michael says, Mate. 0:51:49.920 --> 0:51:51.920 Most of the people that I know are now driving 0:51:52.080 --> 0:51:55.520 without insurance. They simply can't afford it. That's what they're 0:51:55.520 --> 0:52:00.080 now doing. Let's talk to BEPO in Pensers.

Katie Fouler, I don't mind. 0:53:19.160 --> 0:53:23.160 At Clinton, Good afternoon, LA police have confirmed they're investigating 0:53:23.200 --> 0:53:26.320 after nine reporter Lauren Tamazi was hit by a rubber 0:53:26.320 --> 0:53:30.800 bullet while covering immigration raid protests. Prime Minister Anthony Albanesi 0:53:30.960 --> 0:53:34.920 has condemned the incident. The father of a teenager killed 0:53:34.960 --> 0:53:37.680 in a crash at Buxton is pleading for a plaque 0:53:37.680 --> 0:53:41.400 remembering her and four others to be returned. The plaques 0:53:41.440 --> 0:53:44.640 were on benches installed in memory of the five teens 0:53:44.760 --> 0:53:48.960 killed in the September twenty twenty two crash. Aaron Patterson 0:53:48.960 --> 0:53:52.520 has denied she was worried about getting caught when medical 0:53:52.600 --> 0:53:56.759 staff raised concerns about death cap mushroom poisoning, and a 0:53:56.800 --> 0:54:00.239 new test to screen for SILLYAC disease is being develop 0:54:00.320 --> 0:54:04.200 in Australia.

Cortus has issued an 0:54:37.160 --> 0:54:40.719 apology after a flight from the UK to Singapore and 0:54:40.840 --> 0:54:43.760 was then going to fly to Australia made a diversion 0:54:43.800 --> 0:54:47.920 to azerba Jahn.

The plane land 0:54:54.520 --> 0:54:57.680 at the airport there, which is between Russia and Iran, 0:54:57.920 --> 0:55:00.640 and so the passengers were obviously concerned about the location. 0:55:00.880 --> 0:55:03.160 Although the back of your Grand Prix is actually quite 0:55:03.520 --> 0:55:06.800 quite popular these days, Quartas says, we apologize to customers 0:55:06.800 --> 0:55:08.600 for the disruption.

Dennis is in carrying. But hello, Dennis, hi. 0:56:04.120 --> 0:56:05.000 Quentin, how are you good? 0:56:05.000 --> 0:56:06.160 Dennis good? 0:56:06.200 --> 0:56:08.760 I'd just writtenly purchased a b Why do shark? 0:56:09.040 --> 0:56:09.200 Yeah? 0:56:09.440 --> 0:56:11.759 The big new Duke cabut Yeah, the new. 0:56:11.760 --> 0:56:15.680 Duke cabs Yeah, hybrid vergles great to the next level. 0:56:16.160 --> 0:56:19.160 Yeah, and they've had massive pre orders for them as 0:56:19.200 --> 0:56:20.560 well before they went on the market. 0:56:21.200 --> 0:56:23.000 I was on a waiting list, but I got upgraded 0:56:23.040 --> 0:56:26.160 to the top. It's because someone careful, because they finance 0:56:26.200 --> 0:56:26.480 all through. 0:56:26.600 --> 0:56:27.320 What's the insurance? 0:56:27.400 --> 0:56:27.480 Like? 0:56:27.680 --> 0:56:31.879 Really good three thousand books. 0:56:31.520 --> 0:56:33.520 Now, so it's not not achieved vehicle. They're about probably 0:56:33.520 --> 0:56:36.799 what's seventy k on the road, sixty five YenS insure 0:56:36.800 --> 0:56:39.160 as well three thousand dollars. 0:56:38.880 --> 0:56:41.560 Three thousand bucks. Yeah, I think it may be because 0:56:41.560 --> 0:56:44.600 of the batteries. I don't know. I'm not too I 0:56:44.640 --> 0:56:47.120 don't know a lot about electric verticals, but maybe to 0:56:47.120 --> 0:56:48.960 see replacement of course for the batteries. 0:56:49.280 --> 0:56:51.239 Yeah, and that could be the case. And I think 0:56:51.239 --> 0:56:53.920 with electric vehicles, we know that because they've only been 0:56:53.920 --> 0:56:56.399 on the market for a relatively short amount of time, 0:56:56.440 --> 0:56:58.480 we still don't have a lot of information about their 0:56:58.719 --> 0:57:00.680 their longer term repair costs. Does sound like you've got 0:57:00.719 --> 0:57:03.000 a good vehicle there. The BYD Shark gets some pretty 0:57:03.040 --> 0:57:05.040 good reports, Thank you, Dennis. I'm just looking at some 0:57:05.040 --> 0:57:07.799 more vision courtesy of nine coming in live from LA. 0:57:07.960 --> 0:57:11.680 And it's now just gone eleven thirty in LA and 0:57:11.719 --> 0:57:15.040 there are still there are cars being set alight major 0:57:15.080 --> 0:57:19.080 intersections in the middle of downtown LA. It is quite frightening. 0:57:19.280 --> 0:57:22.560 Another journalist has become caught up in the LA riots 0:57:22.600 --> 0:57:26.000 and has been injured. The ABC's North America correspondent, Lauren 0:57:26.080 --> 0:57:29.760 Day has been hurt. She was caught up in tear 0:57:29.840 --> 0:57:32.800 gas that was deployed by the LAPD. They were trying 0:57:32.800 --> 0:57:36.440 to disperse the crowd around Little Tokyo in la Now 0:57:36.440 --> 0:57:39.400 that's just come after our own Lauren Tamasi was shot 0:57:39.440 --> 0:57:43.600 in the leg with a rubber bullet. The government in 0:57:43.920 --> 0:57:46.960 the United States, the US government has actually released a 0:57:47.040 --> 0:57:50.080 protest released a statement saying they are investigating these incidents. 0:57:50.080 --> 0:57:54.920 They are being investigated by the LAPD. Lauren Day herself 0:57:55.080 --> 0:57:57.600 has released a statement. She says, in a sign of 0:57:57.600 --> 0:58:00.720 just how quickly things can escalate after a long standoff processes, 0:58:00.840 --> 0:58:03.040 all of a sudden, we heard large bangs and the 0:58:03.040 --> 0:58:05.800 crowd started running. I then felt the unmistakable burn of 0:58:05.800 --> 0:58:08.480 tear gas, first in my eyes, then in my nose, lips, 0:58:08.520 --> 0:58:10.680 and throat. It really stings your entire face. It makes 0:58:10.680 --> 0:58:12.800 it difficult to breathe until the point you almost want 0:58:12.800 --> 0:58:16.240 to throw up. Look, this is the reality when reporters 0:58:16.280 --> 0:58:20.520 are reporting from the front line. That's it does come 0:58:20.560 --> 0:58:24.320 with the territory to a point. Now, I think it's 0:58:24.320 --> 0:58:26.920 pretty clear that the reporters themselves have not been targeted, 0:58:26.960 --> 0:58:30.480 but because they're in the middle of reporting on this volatile, 0:58:30.600 --> 0:58:35.080 unfolding situation, they are finding themselves subject to this And 0:58:35.320 --> 0:58:37.560 the reality is there's probably going to be more in 0:58:37.600 --> 0:58:40.680 the next couple of days on Sydney. 0:58:40.720 --> 0:58:46.120 Now you can't handle the truth, the straight shoot. 0:58:47.120 --> 0:58:50.240 Okay, it's our political straight shooters or a Tuesday afternoon 0:58:50.360 --> 0:58:53.680 joining me as they do every Tuesday afternoon. The outgoing 0:58:53.720 --> 0:58:56.240 Liberal Center in New South Wales, Polly Hughes and the 0:58:56.320 --> 0:59:01.600 Labor member for mcquarie, Susan Tedman. Hello, Susan, Hello, Holly, Hellolank. 0:59:02.000 --> 0:59:04.200 I think we can be both very grateful that we 0:59:04.240 --> 0:59:06.120 are on this side of the world at the moment. 0:59:06.920 --> 0:59:08.400 I think so. 0:59:08.480 --> 0:59:08.720 Yeah. 0:59:08.760 --> 0:59:12.440 Well, I was a foreign correspondent in the United States 0:59:12.480 --> 0:59:15.400 back in the eighties and this is not something that 0:59:16.160 --> 0:59:19.240 you ever want to see happen to journals who are 0:59:19.280 --> 0:59:21.400 just out doing their job trying to bring the news, 0:59:21.480 --> 0:59:24.280 especially on radio and TV as it's happening. 0:59:24.520 --> 0:59:26.960 Absolutely, thanks, yeah, absolutely. 0:59:27.040 --> 0:59:28.920 Now today I want to discuss this one with the 0:59:28.960 --> 0:59:32.240 both of you, the idea that private school fees could 0:59:32.240 --> 0:59:37.160 be tax deductible. The South Australian senator, she's a Liberal Senate, 0:59:37.280 --> 0:59:40.400 Lea Bly. This has appeared on My Colleagues program on 0:59:40.400 --> 0:59:43.280 three outw Tom Elliot's program. She says if there was 0:59:43.360 --> 0:59:46.920 a tax deduction, this would level out the playing field 0:59:46.960 --> 0:59:48.400 for parents. This is lea Bly. 0:59:51.120 --> 0:59:54.000 It's important to note that even the most elite private 0:59:54.040 --> 0:59:57.800 institutions do receive a significant amount of public funding every year, 0:59:57.880 --> 1:00:00.920 and the net effect for those parents is they're contributing 1:00:01.360 --> 1:00:04.160 essentially twice because they're not only paying school fees, but 1:00:04.200 --> 1:00:07.680 they're also contributing to the public systems through general taxation. 1:00:08.040 --> 1:00:10.880 What we can look at doing is evening out that 1:00:11.080 --> 1:00:14.080 playing field, but also looking at how we are funding 1:00:14.280 --> 1:00:18.400 public schools. I think it's fair to say education standards 1:00:18.520 --> 1:00:22.560 have been dropping, particularly in our public schools across our 1:00:22.640 --> 1:00:25.760 nation for decades, and we've got to do something to 1:00:25.840 --> 1:00:29.040 make sure that we aren't leaving any children behind. 1:00:29.680 --> 1:00:33.080 Okay, tax deductible private school fees. I'll start with the 1:00:33.080 --> 1:00:36.200 government's perspective first, Susan, what do you think now? 1:00:36.280 --> 1:00:39.200 It's not something that I would even consider looking at, 1:00:39.240 --> 1:00:43.000 and it's a bit rich coming from someone who's government 1:00:43.120 --> 1:00:48.560 presided over appalling funding of especially public schools by ignoring 1:00:48.640 --> 1:00:52.640 the hohl Gonsky reforms. We've got a system now, it 1:00:52.680 --> 1:00:57.480 only got signed earlier this year, so that every child 1:00:57.720 --> 1:01:01.480 in every school across the country where they are public 1:01:01.800 --> 1:01:05.880 Catholic Independent is going to receive funding that is based 1:01:05.960 --> 1:01:09.440 on their needs. Now, yes we've got problems, that's because 1:01:09.800 --> 1:01:13.880 schools have been poorly funded by the previous government. So 1:01:14.480 --> 1:01:17.600 I think, you know, let's stop looking for solutions to 1:01:17.720 --> 1:01:20.040 something that isn't the problem. Let's get to the root 1:01:20.080 --> 1:01:22.840 of the problem, which is what we did in doing 1:01:22.880 --> 1:01:25.960 fair funding to schools, and now let's give that an 1:01:25.960 --> 1:01:29.800 opportunity to flow through. Our agreement in New South Wales 1:01:29.880 --> 1:01:32.120 is a ten year agreement and that's the same with 1:01:32.200 --> 1:01:35.840 all the public schools, So we will have a really 1:01:35.840 --> 1:01:38.440 good idea in coming years to see the effect that 1:01:38.520 --> 1:01:42.440 it has. But these sorts of this kind of policy 1:01:42.480 --> 1:01:45.400 on the run, you know, it's like the liberals have said, hey, guys, 1:01:45.560 --> 1:01:49.120 any ideas, anything at all, don't hold back, throw it in. 1:01:49.880 --> 1:01:51.160 Is fromly the time to do it, though, This is 1:01:51.160 --> 1:01:54.000 probably the time to put big ideas and even radical 1:01:54.040 --> 1:01:56.560 ideas out there. Holly, do you think, look, you can 1:01:56.840 --> 1:01:58.360 speak your mind these days, do you think it would 1:01:58.360 --> 1:01:59.520 be a good idea? 1:02:00.000 --> 1:02:03.720 Look the policy itself as you actually listen to more 1:02:03.720 --> 1:02:05.520 of the interview and then read some of the reporting 1:02:05.560 --> 1:02:08.880 about it, It wasn't just you're just talking about tax 1:02:08.880 --> 1:02:11.040 deductibility of private school fees. 1:02:11.080 --> 1:02:12.600 She was talking about looking. 1:02:12.440 --> 1:02:16.440 At income splitting for families that have a better and 1:02:16.520 --> 1:02:20.280 fairer potential tax implications for families, particularly those that have 1:02:20.800 --> 1:02:23.520 a parent at home or a parent at home more 1:02:23.560 --> 1:02:28.040 so looking after children. I am pleased there's policy debate 1:02:28.160 --> 1:02:31.560 going on. Peter duart't ran a very united team, but 1:02:31.640 --> 1:02:33.160 I can't say it was a team that there was 1:02:33.200 --> 1:02:36.960 a lot of robust debate around policy, and I think 1:02:37.000 --> 1:02:39.440 that was reflected in the election result. I think you're 1:02:39.480 --> 1:02:42.680 exactly right now we is the time to have the debate. 1:02:43.080 --> 1:02:47.800 I think our tax system is fundamentally broken across many 1:02:47.960 --> 1:02:52.560 many areas the continual increase of our alliance on income tax. 1:02:53.520 --> 1:02:55.600 This is a government who wants to now tax you 1:02:55.680 --> 1:02:58.760 when you haven't even made the money on their unrealized gains. 1:02:58.800 --> 1:03:02.800 So every should be on the agenda. What is actually 1:03:02.840 --> 1:03:07.520 important through this process is that Jim Tarmers doesn't get 1:03:07.560 --> 1:03:11.200 carried away. And see the thirty percent of the Australian 1:03:11.240 --> 1:03:14.120 people that voted for Labor, Yes it was an emphatic win, 1:03:14.680 --> 1:03:17.680 was not the majority of Australians who voted for them, 1:03:18.080 --> 1:03:21.240 and doesn't take that as a sign that everything he 1:03:21.360 --> 1:03:27.360 says is some sort of messianic declaration. I would actually 1:03:27.480 --> 1:03:30.920 like to see big boy pants and big girl pants 1:03:30.960 --> 1:03:34.440 go on and a courageous discussion between the two parties 1:03:34.440 --> 1:03:39.440 of government about serious tax reform, because this country, if 1:03:39.520 --> 1:03:42.480 we're going to boost productivity, if we're going to actually 1:03:42.520 --> 1:03:45.280 get ourselves back on a footing where we're not just 1:03:45.400 --> 1:03:48.600 constantly staring down one point two trillion million dollars worth 1:03:48.600 --> 1:03:51.480 of debt, we need proper tax reform in this country. 1:03:51.520 --> 1:03:53.040 Is there, well, Susan, is there a desire in the 1:03:53.080 --> 1:03:54.680 in the Labor party room now that you do have 1:03:54.760 --> 1:03:58.120 such a big majority, Is there a desire for more 1:03:58.200 --> 1:04:01.640 radical policy, for policy that maybe may not have been 1:04:01.720 --> 1:04:02.760 popular pride of the election. 1:04:03.920 --> 1:04:04.040 Oh. 1:04:04.120 --> 1:04:06.320 The Prime Minister spoke at the Press Club today and 1:04:06.360 --> 1:04:08.480 made it very clear we are going to do the 1:04:08.520 --> 1:04:11.800 things we said we do. Let's start with those, let's 1:04:12.200 --> 1:04:16.840 continually evolve policy, looks for good ideas, explore new ideas, 1:04:17.400 --> 1:04:20.360 but our priority is delivering the things we said we would. 1:04:20.640 --> 1:04:23.720 And you know, one of the things that he announced 1:04:23.720 --> 1:04:27.920 today was a gathering, as he called it, in Canberra 1:04:28.000 --> 1:04:30.760 to discuss productivity a bit like we had the Jobs 1:04:30.800 --> 1:04:34.280 and Skills Summit three years ago to really kick start 1:04:34.360 --> 1:04:36.840 how we tackle complex issues that. 1:04:36.800 --> 1:04:37.640 We'd inherit it. 1:04:38.080 --> 1:04:40.560 And now we know productivity has got to be the focus. 1:04:40.680 --> 1:04:44.520 So that's the sort of evolutionary initiative that you're going 1:04:44.520 --> 1:04:46.960 to see to keep doing the things. 1:04:46.640 --> 1:04:47.440 That we've started. 1:04:47.760 --> 1:04:50.280 You know, we've just started. We know we've got a 1:04:50.280 --> 1:04:53.520 lot more to do. And it won't be just grabbing 1:04:53.600 --> 1:04:56.120 any grab bag of ideas that someone might throw. 1:04:56.000 --> 1:04:58.800 Up now talking about productivity. Holy you visited a Sydney 1:04:58.880 --> 1:04:59.720 factory this morning. 1:05:00.400 --> 1:05:02.760 Look, I did, and I wanted how to look at 1:05:02.760 --> 1:05:06.480 this space. So this is around sort of Alexandria Zeppeland 1:05:06.640 --> 1:05:10.960 area of Sydney. And this is off the back of 1:05:11.640 --> 1:05:15.160 reports in South Australia that there are now supporting the 1:05:15.240 --> 1:05:19.880 Upper House there for the government to just determine that 1:05:19.920 --> 1:05:22.640 you are having inappropriate land usage, so they will just 1:05:22.680 --> 1:05:26.200 take it, not compulsorily, wire not paid for it, just 1:05:26.440 --> 1:05:29.640 take it. I mean it's effectively a form of communism. 1:05:29.960 --> 1:05:34.520 But we hear governments talk about affordable housing, housing crisis, 1:05:34.560 --> 1:05:39.360 the need for more houses. Clover Moore is I got 1:05:39.400 --> 1:05:42.120 to get out of town hallmore because what I saw 1:05:42.200 --> 1:05:45.840 today was an area that she still thinks is a 1:05:45.880 --> 1:05:51.200 manufacturing area. And the reality is these businesses, these buildings 1:05:51.520 --> 1:05:55.560 are in effect either wearehouses so there's no jobs, non employment, 1:05:56.320 --> 1:06:00.840 or they are completely empty and unused. 1:06:01.280 --> 1:06:03.080 But when you go to. 1:06:03.120 --> 1:06:06.240 The bayside side of the road, if you go sort 1:06:06.240 --> 1:06:09.320 of gardeners rode down towards the airport in Mascot. If 1:06:09.360 --> 1:06:13.200 you go to the Bayside Council out side of the road, 1:06:13.680 --> 1:06:17.400 there is apartment buildings that are built there with businesses 1:06:17.440 --> 1:06:21.360 thriving underneath them. Yet five six hundred meters down the 1:06:21.440 --> 1:06:25.560 road walk from Mascot train station where it becomes Sydney 1:06:25.600 --> 1:06:31.240 City Council, it is absolutely derelict. There are buildings, warehouses, 1:06:31.440 --> 1:06:35.040 factories that have long since moved their operations into other 1:06:35.120 --> 1:06:41.320 areas that are absolutely underutilized. Could be used to create 1:06:41.760 --> 1:06:45.440 housing that is so desperately needed. Yet we are still 1:06:45.480 --> 1:06:47.640 hearing from the men's government. I mean, we don't know 1:06:47.640 --> 1:06:50.160 what the hat's doing. They haven't built a house. So 1:06:50.200 --> 1:06:55.560 if everyone is serious about this housing situation, Paramata Road 1:06:55.800 --> 1:06:58.960 is a disgrace. Every single one of those stores is 1:06:59.200 --> 1:07:00.280 pretty much empty. 1:07:00.200 --> 1:07:02.320 And has been for decades and decades. Susan The Prime 1:07:02.320 --> 1:07:04.560 Minister actually was asked about housing today at the National 1:07:04.560 --> 1:07:07.520 Press Club address and he said regulation is actually a 1:07:07.560 --> 1:07:10.040 big part of it, reducing the red tape, and he 1:07:10.280 --> 1:07:12.800 praised Chris Mins for showing initiative on the rose Hill 1:07:12.840 --> 1:07:14.760 deal even though it didn't go through. But do you 1:07:14.800 --> 1:07:16.760 think the problem lies he with local councils. 1:07:18.120 --> 1:07:21.800 I definitely think that there's challenges with councils. At the 1:07:21.840 --> 1:07:25.600 same time, I know councils feel that they represent their 1:07:26.720 --> 1:07:29.080 rate payers and should have a say. But you know, 1:07:29.560 --> 1:07:33.440 if there are places that are sitting there empty, needing 1:07:33.480 --> 1:07:37.320 to be reused and repurposed, then that's why we have 1:07:37.360 --> 1:07:39.760 a planning Ministry in New South Wales, Paul Scully, who 1:07:39.800 --> 1:07:44.959 I'm sure is open to many conversations to explore where 1:07:44.960 --> 1:07:47.680 there might be, just like they did with rose Hill. 1:07:48.640 --> 1:07:51.080 And I think the point was made both by the 1:07:51.160 --> 1:07:54.680 Prime Minister and Housing Minister Claire O'Neill that it does 1:07:54.760 --> 1:07:57.480 take courage to do those things and put those ideas 1:07:57.520 --> 1:08:01.040 out there. Not all of them will be successful, but 1:08:01.320 --> 1:08:05.360 we are at it's urgent. This is not something we 1:08:05.440 --> 1:08:08.400 can sit back and go, oh, we've got tons of time. 1:08:08.920 --> 1:08:13.320 We need housing yesterday, and you know that will do 1:08:13.440 --> 1:08:15.160 our bit. But a lot of it's going to come 1:08:15.200 --> 1:08:20.120 down to the State government being bold, and that means 1:08:20.160 --> 1:08:23.320 counsels really do need to come along with that and 1:08:23.360 --> 1:08:26.400 look for the best possible outcomes. I know people don't 1:08:26.520 --> 1:08:30.240 like change in their communities, but I note that Karingay 1:08:30.360 --> 1:08:33.599 has come up with some really good plans. But from 1:08:33.640 --> 1:08:38.200 what I've seen in the paper to meet the housing 1:08:38.240 --> 1:08:42.040 targets that were set for inch not necessarily the way 1:08:42.840 --> 1:08:45.799 the state government have originally intended. So I hope those 1:08:45.840 --> 1:08:49.400 sorts of processes work their way through pretty quickly, because 1:08:49.760 --> 1:08:51.120 oh my goodness, we need we. 1:08:51.080 --> 1:08:53.240 Need bold ideas, We certainly need bodies. I just about 1:08:53.240 --> 1:08:55.120 to wrap up almost out of some time here, but 1:08:55.439 --> 1:08:59.200 you're in your way to Canberra SEUSAN for new MP orientations, 1:08:59.200 --> 1:09:01.759 so you'd be hoping hosting some of the new members 1:09:01.800 --> 1:09:05.000 of Parliament. It's got any best or worst first day 1:09:05.000 --> 1:09:06.280 on the job story for us? 1:09:07.080 --> 1:09:10.160 Well, I have to tell you the twenty seventh of 1:09:10.240 --> 1:09:13.400 July in twenty sixteen was a fantastic first day on 1:09:13.439 --> 1:09:16.559 the job when I was declared as an MP and 1:09:16.600 --> 1:09:18.920 I got the keys to the office, and I then 1:09:18.960 --> 1:09:22.200 got shown round the office by the property people who 1:09:22.280 --> 1:09:25.120 handed over keys, and at the end of it, I said, oh, 1:09:25.240 --> 1:09:28.040 I must have missed the bathroom. Is there a door 1:09:28.080 --> 1:09:29.559 I missed? And they looked at me and said, no, 1:09:29.640 --> 1:09:32.719 there is no bathroom. If you need to go the toilet, 1:09:32.720 --> 1:09:35.280 there's a shopping center up the road around the corner, 1:09:35.600 --> 1:09:37.960 and that's where you go. So it took the chine 1:09:38.000 --> 1:09:41.439 off a bit. My poor staff, who will spent much 1:09:41.479 --> 1:09:44.519 more time in the office than I do, had had 1:09:44.560 --> 1:09:47.479 to suffer that. But I'm pleased to say I did 1:09:48.080 --> 1:09:51.040 from a worker health and safety perspective. We did end 1:09:51.120 --> 1:09:54.240 up eventually in a new office and they have a bathroom. 1:09:54.320 --> 1:09:56.080 Holly, have you got a first down the job story 1:09:56.080 --> 1:09:56.360 for me? 1:09:57.040 --> 1:09:57.400 I don't know. 1:09:57.439 --> 1:09:59.680 I'm looking forward now, Clinton. I don't know what the 1:09:59.680 --> 1:10:01.760 next first day on the job's going to look like. 1:10:01.880 --> 1:10:02.800 I'll be looking for the job. 1:10:02.840 --> 1:10:05.519 But I don't actually have a story that I can 1:10:05.560 --> 1:10:08.400 think of. But you know it has any great resonance. 1:10:08.479 --> 1:10:09.040 I mean it was. 1:10:09.320 --> 1:10:11.640 I do remember being headhunted for a job in my 1:10:11.680 --> 1:10:14.360 early twenties and they kept offering me more money, and 1:10:14.400 --> 1:10:16.640 I remember doing turning up on the first day. It 1:10:16.680 --> 1:10:18.479 wasn't even really one hundred percent sure what they wanted 1:10:18.479 --> 1:10:21.439 me to do. But that was back at a time 1:10:21.520 --> 1:10:25.519 where things were very, very different in the corporate arena. 1:10:25.680 --> 1:10:29.240 But Susan, oh my god, no toilet, I got to say, 1:10:29.320 --> 1:10:31.800 having dealt with the Department of Finance, I won't miss 1:10:31.840 --> 1:10:34.880 that and it doesn't surprise me. 1:10:35.160 --> 1:10:37.360 It's the least we can do. That is straight shooters 1:10:37.360 --> 1:10:40.080 for a Tuesday. Thank you, Susan, Thank you, Holly, thank 1:10:40.080 --> 1:10:43.360 you Straight shooters every Tuesday afternoon. My first day on 1:10:43.400 --> 1:10:45.200 the job at the radio station. You know what I 1:10:45.280 --> 1:10:47.479 honestly did the first time the job. I spent the 1:10:47.520 --> 1:10:50.559 whole day with Murray Old's who was driving me around Sydney. 1:10:50.880 --> 1:10:53.320 It's three to five on insurance premiums Adam on the 1:10:53.320 --> 1:10:55.880 text line says, I just received my comprehensive mode of 1:10:55.880 --> 1:10:59.760 policy renewal the insurance. For some the insurance reduced the 1:10:59.800 --> 1:11:02.439 sun to eight thousand dollars. Now it reduced to buy 1:11:02.479 --> 1:11:05.040 eight thousand dollars in one year. The premium, though, went 1:11:05.120 --> 1:11:07.240 up from one hundred and eighty six dollars per month 1:11:07.280 --> 1:11:10.080 to four hundred and sixty eight per month, so I 1:11:10.200 --> 1:11:13.680 changed insurers. Yes, I did spend an entire day. My 1:11:13.680 --> 1:11:16.040 first day at the radio station was with Marie Old's. 1:11:16.360 --> 1:11:18.760 John says, Look, it could have been worse. You could 1:11:18.800 --> 1:11:20.480 have been spending with John Stanley. 1:11:20.600 --> 1:11:28.040 I don't feel like doing anything. I just want a map. 1:11:28.560 --> 1:11:31.280 Did you hear about the survey released today that shows 1:11:31.400 --> 1:11:36.080 seven out of ten Australians calling sick seventy percent? I 1:11:36.080 --> 1:11:38.000 actually thought it would have been higher than that. The 1:11:38.080 --> 1:11:41.880 habit costs business seven point three billion dollars per year. 1:11:42.280 --> 1:11:46.080 It adds up to twenty four point six million days 1:11:46.080 --> 1:11:50.120 off every year. Now if you don't count mental health days. 1:11:50.520 --> 1:11:53.519 Sixty eight percent of Australians say they have faked being sick. 1:11:54.200 --> 1:11:57.519 The number one reason why they fake being sick apparently 1:11:57.560 --> 1:12:00.320 it's because of a lack of sleep. Lack of sleep 1:12:00.680 --> 1:12:04.000 the next reason because they want to relax and recharge. 1:12:04.680 --> 1:12:08.240 Twenty seven percent say they actually want a mental health day. 1:12:08.280 --> 1:12:10.719 No matter what happened to Norman, be called then sick? 1:12:11.400 --> 1:12:14.280 How about this? Work from home is a big debate 1:12:14.320 --> 1:12:16.400 in the UK as well as it is here. A 1:12:16.439 --> 1:12:19.800 former UK police officer has been banned for life from 1:12:19.800 --> 1:12:22.800 working in law enforcement. He has been found to have 1:12:23.000 --> 1:12:27.280 faked one hundred hours of work. There was a misconduct 1:12:27.360 --> 1:12:31.200 panel review into the work of p C Liam Reex 1:12:31.400 --> 1:12:35.120 between June and September of last year. Mister Rex wait 1:12:35.200 --> 1:12:39.040 for this, deliberately held down keys on his laptop at 1:12:39.080 --> 1:12:43.400 regular intervals to prove that he's actually working. The former 1:12:43.439 --> 1:12:46.800 officer admitted to opening a blank word document on his 1:12:46.920 --> 1:12:50.400 laptop and holding down the Z character on his keyboard 1:12:50.680 --> 1:12:54.200 for expended lengths of time. Stunning the lengths people will 1:12:54.240 --> 1:12:54.479 go to. 1:12:57.160 --> 1:13:01.120 This is Sydney now with Clinton on t. 1:13:01.360 --> 1:13:03.559 GB one three one eight seven three. Good now have 1:13:03.560 --> 1:13:06.599 your company this Tuesday afternoon, the sun going down across Sydney. 1:13:06.680 --> 1:13:09.600 The good news is we have no reports of significant 1:13:09.600 --> 1:13:12.120 delays on the train network. I know that's a stunning 1:13:12.320 --> 1:13:15.479 development because usually at this time the trains are absolutely stuffed. 1:13:15.680 --> 1:13:19.040 But no, the trains are actually running. And tomorrow in 1:13:19.080 --> 1:13:21.479 the Fair Work Commission there will be a Directions hearing 1:13:22.000 --> 1:13:25.680 to again try to resolve the ongoing industrial dispute the 1:13:25.760 --> 1:13:28.080 combined rail unions. And we brought you this news with 1:13:28.200 --> 1:13:30.200 John Graham would have been little more than a week ago. 1:13:31.000 --> 1:13:34.519 Apparently agreed to a new payoffer with the state government 1:13:34.560 --> 1:13:36.960 to end industrial action once and for all world for 1:13:37.000 --> 1:13:39.599 at least the next three years. The problem is the 1:13:39.640 --> 1:13:44.240 ETU is holding out. The RTBU represents more than eight 1:13:44.280 --> 1:13:49.439 thousand workers, the ETU eight hundred workers and they're now 1:13:49.479 --> 1:13:53.200 stopping this actually going ahead. So what's going to happen tomorrow? 1:13:53.520 --> 1:13:56.440 The government, and they have the support of the RTBU, 1:13:57.000 --> 1:13:59.519 is going to seek some orders from the Fair Work Commission, 1:13:59.520 --> 1:14:01.400 whereby they they want the Commission to say to the 1:14:01.479 --> 1:14:04.080 union's management, you know what, put it to a vote 1:14:04.080 --> 1:14:09.040 of your members. Let the members decide democratically, and what 1:14:09.120 --> 1:14:13.479 will happen is obvious. The RTBU has more members than 1:14:13.520 --> 1:14:17.200 the ETU, so this deal will actually go through. But 1:14:17.280 --> 1:14:20.400 at the moment it is the ETU that's holding all 1:14:20.400 --> 1:14:24.920 of this up. Eight past five monash IVF has been 1:14:24.920 --> 1:14:29.120 in the headlines today because they have admitted they transferred 1:14:29.120 --> 1:14:33.400 the wrong embryo into a Melbourne woman. This is the 1:14:33.439 --> 1:14:37.040 second incident that this company has been involved in in 1:14:37.200 --> 1:14:40.360 just two months. They released a statement to the stock 1:14:40.400 --> 1:14:44.520 market today the ASX and they revealed it had mistakenly 1:14:44.680 --> 1:14:49.080 transferred a patient's own embryo to her during a process 1:14:49.120 --> 1:14:51.880 in which she was supposed to receive an embryo from 1:14:51.920 --> 1:14:56.000 her partner as they sought to extend their family. Now, 1:14:56.040 --> 1:14:59.280 two months ago, Monash IVF was forced to admit an 1:14:59.280 --> 1:15:01.960 embryo mix up at its Brisbane clinic that resulted in 1:15:02.000 --> 1:15:08.080 a Queensland woman giving birth to a stranger's baby, quite horrifying. 1:15:08.880 --> 1:15:12.160 In the ASX statement today, Monash said the incident at 1:15:12.160 --> 1:15:14.840 the Clayton Premises on the fifth of June was under 1:15:14.880 --> 1:15:19.600 investigation and they apologized to the couple involved. 1:15:20.040 --> 1:15:22.519 If it matters to you, then you'll hear it here 1:15:22.840 --> 1:15:25.719 Sydney now witho Quinton Maynard until Seid. 1:15:25.800 --> 1:15:28.759 The Prime Minister today has delivered his first major speech 1:15:28.800 --> 1:15:32.120 since winning the election here before the National Press Club. 1:15:32.160 --> 1:15:35.400 I should also point out that Susan Lee will make 1:15:35.439 --> 1:15:37.599 an announcement and make a speech to the National Press 1:15:37.600 --> 1:15:41.040 Club later this month. Now. He spoke about many issues, 1:15:41.200 --> 1:15:44.320 effectively setting the agenda for the next term in Parliament. Now, 1:15:44.479 --> 1:15:47.200 most of the topics that he touched on were issues 1:15:47.240 --> 1:15:50.280 that were debated and discussed during the election campaign. But 1:15:50.360 --> 1:15:54.160 he was asked about defense spending. The United States wants 1:15:54.160 --> 1:15:56.759 to straying to increase our defense spending to three point 1:15:56.840 --> 1:16:00.240 five percent of GDP, But the Prime Minister said is 1:16:00.280 --> 1:16:01.800 he's not going to put a number on it. 1:16:02.000 --> 1:16:06.120 Well, I think that Australia should decide what we spend 1:16:06.400 --> 1:16:10.160 on Australia's defense, simple as that. 1:16:10.040 --> 1:16:11.120 That's my view. 1:16:11.600 --> 1:16:14.080 Now if others think that that's not the case, then 1:16:14.200 --> 1:16:17.879 it's up to them to make that case. Angus Houston's 1:16:17.920 --> 1:16:19.719 been a friend of mine for a very long period 1:16:19.760 --> 1:16:22.880 of time and I always pay attention to anything that 1:16:23.200 --> 1:16:26.840 Angus Houston has to say. But I've made it very 1:16:26.880 --> 1:16:31.120 clear we will support the capability that Australia needs. 1:16:31.280 --> 1:16:33.960 So the Prime Minister saysse spending will be on specific 1:16:34.000 --> 1:16:37.360 so we need three more ships for the Navy, or 1:16:37.360 --> 1:16:40.559 we need x number of helicopters or jets. He was 1:16:40.600 --> 1:16:44.519 also asked about the commitment to build one point two 1:16:44.560 --> 1:16:47.720 million houses in the country and there are guidelines that 1:16:47.760 --> 1:16:50.640 the state governments need to meet across the country to 1:16:50.720 --> 1:16:53.920 effectively solve the housing crisis. He said much of this 1:16:53.960 --> 1:16:56.280 has to do with red tape and he's committed to 1:16:56.360 --> 1:16:58.639 reducing bureaucracy, but a lot of that bureaucracy is about 1:16:58.640 --> 1:17:02.160 state governments and local counts. He did praise Chris Mins 1:17:02.200 --> 1:17:04.479 for his position on selling off Rosial race course. 1:17:04.680 --> 1:17:05.320 He was right. 1:17:06.320 --> 1:17:08.120 He was absolutely right. 1:17:09.520 --> 1:17:13.960 In putting forward something that was controversial and in the 1:17:14.080 --> 1:17:18.920 end people knocked back in spite of the factor had 1:17:18.960 --> 1:17:22.200 the support of the leadership of the racing industry. 1:17:22.760 --> 1:17:24.760 But that's the sort of thing that we're going to 1:17:24.880 --> 1:17:25.360 need to do. 1:17:26.200 --> 1:17:32.000 You can't deal with supply issues without having the courage 1:17:32.640 --> 1:17:33.800 to do things like that. 1:17:34.080 --> 1:17:36.960 So Albo agrees with Chris Minns that we need bold ideas. 1:17:37.120 --> 1:17:40.120 So why is it when David Elliott raised on this 1:17:40.200 --> 1:17:43.080 program for the first time in about a decade, the 1:17:43.120 --> 1:17:47.880 idea of selling off the jail Long Bay jail, redeveloping 1:17:47.920 --> 1:17:51.360 that prime land around Little Bay. Why isn't government willing 1:17:51.400 --> 1:17:54.000 to pick up that Now? It can't be because of transport, 1:17:54.040 --> 1:17:56.920 because there is a transport link that is not far away, 1:17:57.160 --> 1:18:00.520 the light rail. The light rail could be effectively extendard. 1:18:00.560 --> 1:18:03.080 It would be cost efficient given how much that land 1:18:03.080 --> 1:18:05.800 would be worth. Now, that wouldn't solve the housing affordability 1:18:05.840 --> 1:18:07.760 crisis because it's not going to be cheap housing, but 1:18:07.760 --> 1:18:09.840 it would have an effect on the overall market. But 1:18:09.880 --> 1:18:12.280 it doesn't seem that anyone's really keen on the idea. 1:18:12.400 --> 1:18:15.920 Be a part of Sydney Now with Clinton. Maynard called 1:18:16.000 --> 1:18:17.960 one three one eight seventy three. 1:18:18.160 --> 1:18:21.160 Tax time is almost here and that means scammers are 1:18:21.160 --> 1:18:24.960 also active. CPA Australia's warning us to watch our inbox. 1:18:25.439 --> 1:18:27.679 They're actually warning us to watch out for scams early 1:18:27.680 --> 1:18:30.599 in the morning, so before you have a cup of coffee, 1:18:30.640 --> 1:18:34.000 before you have your breakfast, when you may be half awake. 1:18:34.960 --> 1:18:38.879 ATO logos official wording. They're being used on an increasing 1:18:38.960 --> 1:18:42.479 number of scam messages, even messages such as you have 1:18:42.640 --> 1:18:45.960 a new refund notification about this? How about this? Phishing 1:18:46.000 --> 1:18:49.400 scams have cost Australians more than thirteen million dollars so 1:18:49.439 --> 1:18:51.240 far this year, and that's triple what it was at 1:18:51.240 --> 1:18:54.160 this time last year. Jenny Wong is CPA Australia's tax 1:18:54.240 --> 1:18:55.519 lead and joins us thank you for your. 1:18:55.400 --> 1:18:57.760 Time, Jenny, ty Clinton, thanks for having me. 1:18:58.000 --> 1:19:00.080 It seems that the scam is a pit to a 1:19:00.120 --> 1:19:02.400 killy active this year. Is that because simply we're a 1:19:02.439 --> 1:19:04.200 couple of weeks out from the end of the financial year. 1:19:05.240 --> 1:19:07.599 Yes, that's right, and I think every Australian adult it's 1:19:07.600 --> 1:19:10.599 likely to see some scam emails or SMS a lead 1:19:10.680 --> 1:19:13.719 up to tax time, and scammers trick you into paying 1:19:13.760 --> 1:19:15.880 money or giving out their personal information. So it's a 1:19:15.880 --> 1:19:17.280 major problem and it's getting worse. 1:19:17.479 --> 1:19:20.240 Now. You've identified the problem today as being early morning. 1:19:20.280 --> 1:19:21.880 Why are they targeting us in the morning? 1:19:23.000 --> 1:19:23.120 Oh? 1:19:23.160 --> 1:19:26.080 Look, scammers are very clever. They take advantage of any situation, 1:19:26.360 --> 1:19:29.799 and at tax time they targeting individuals through unsubserved messages 1:19:29.880 --> 1:19:34.280 claiming they're from the ATA or other organizations. They often 1:19:34.360 --> 1:19:36.800 arrive early in the morning because you may be more 1:19:36.920 --> 1:19:39.840 likely to have a momentarily laps in judgment or you're 1:19:39.840 --> 1:19:42.400 still waking up, so scammers have that in mind and 1:19:42.520 --> 1:19:44.720 they act on that vulnerability. 1:19:45.280 --> 1:19:46.840 I also wonder whether a lot of it has to 1:19:46.880 --> 1:19:48.639 do with the fact that the scammers may not even 1:19:48.640 --> 1:19:50.880 be based in our country, that they're based in overseas, 1:19:51.240 --> 1:19:54.960 perhaps Russia or somewhere over there, and these emails are 1:19:55.000 --> 1:19:57.439 sent out in bulk in the millions around the world. 1:19:58.040 --> 1:19:59.519 Yes, that could be true as well. 1:19:59.600 --> 1:20:02.160 Yes, what tips do you have for us to look 1:20:02.200 --> 1:20:02.559 out for? 1:20:04.640 --> 1:20:06.200 There are a couple of things that you need to 1:20:06.240 --> 1:20:10.080 look out for. So it's actually getting harder to distinguish 1:20:10.080 --> 1:20:11.520 what's a legitimate scam. 1:20:11.240 --> 1:20:12.759 Versus what's real. 1:20:13.320 --> 1:20:16.320 But look out for grammatical errors, so anything that's unusual 1:20:16.360 --> 1:20:21.080 language American English spellings using z's instead of s's. For example, 1:20:22.120 --> 1:20:25.719 ATO doesn't use ciple links in their unsolicited SMS messages, 1:20:25.800 --> 1:20:28.800 So you see links in an unsolicited SMS or qr 1:20:28.840 --> 1:20:31.560 COO coming from the ATO, treat it as a scam. 1:20:31.760 --> 1:20:34.439 Can always check the sender's address. Anything unusual as a 1:20:34.479 --> 1:20:37.560 red flag, So even if the address includes ATO or 1:20:37.560 --> 1:20:40.840 Australian Tax Office, look for subtle anomalies like using a 1:20:40.880 --> 1:20:43.120 number or adding extra letters, that sort of thing. So 1:20:43.200 --> 1:20:44.400 just be wary of those things. 1:20:45.360 --> 1:20:47.600 And then even posts we're talking up leading up to 1:20:47.600 --> 1:20:50.200 the end of the financial year, but I expect at 1:20:50.240 --> 1:20:52.160 the start of the new financial year when many people 1:20:52.160 --> 1:20:53.880 are then put in their returns and they may be 1:20:54.000 --> 1:20:57.120 expecting a refund and the ATO actually turns around their 1:20:57.120 --> 1:20:59.719 refunds fairly quickly for a lot of people these days, 1:20:59.800 --> 1:21:01.759 that also going to be a danger time. 1:21:02.960 --> 1:21:06.760 Yes, generally if you lodge online it might be like 1:21:06.760 --> 1:21:10.240 a two week turn of our time. But if you lodge, yeah, 1:21:10.240 --> 1:21:13.519 if you're expecting a refund, that's also a dangerous time 1:21:13.560 --> 1:21:13.920 as well. 1:21:14.200 --> 1:21:16.320 Because you can be offered money that you think is 1:21:16.400 --> 1:21:18.960 legitimately yours. Thank you for your time, Jenny, No, thank 1:21:19.000 --> 1:21:21.879 you very much, Jenny Wong from CPA Australia. They represent 1:21:21.920 --> 1:21:24.639 the accountant. So that the tip is if you bleary 1:21:24.680 --> 1:21:27.559 eyed and you're not thinking straight, maybe it's not the 1:21:27.560 --> 1:21:29.800 best time to actually check your emails. 1:21:30.160 --> 1:21:33.559 You want to know what's happening in Sydney, stay tuned 1:21:33.680 --> 1:21:37.680 to Sydney Now with Clinton on to gb. 1:21:37.520 --> 1:21:40.400 Almost sixty thousand people at a course stadium for the Bulldog's 1:21:40.439 --> 1:21:42.800 victory over the Paramatta Eels last night, and we'll be 1:21:42.840 --> 1:21:45.160 talking to Mark Guyer after the five thirty news. And 1:21:45.320 --> 1:21:48.559 boy didn't they have fun on the streets of Belmore 1:21:48.680 --> 1:21:53.400 last night. They were shouting and banging the drums and 1:21:53.640 --> 1:21:56.720 singing who let the dogs out? At one point? But 1:21:57.600 --> 1:22:00.280 you'll see the vision on nine Yews tonight as well. 1:22:00.320 --> 1:22:04.320 I shouldn't laugh. They were doing burnouts and they were 1:22:04.360 --> 1:22:08.559 creating so much smoke with the burnouts they set off 1:22:08.600 --> 1:22:12.120 smoke alarms and the fire Brigade had to come out. Look, 1:22:12.200 --> 1:22:14.479 I think it's fantastic that the bulldogs. I'm not a 1:22:14.520 --> 1:22:17.200 bulldog supporter, it's fantastic. The Bulldogs are having a great 1:22:17.280 --> 1:22:20.160 year and it's wonderful that they go out to Belmore 1:22:20.200 --> 1:22:21.760 and they bang on their drums and they're having a 1:22:21.800 --> 1:22:24.680 wonderful time. But if you don't want the police to 1:22:24.720 --> 1:22:27.839 turn up, and you don't want the alarms to start sounding, 1:22:28.080 --> 1:22:31.280 maybe don't do any more burnouts. If you are traveling 1:22:31.600 --> 1:22:33.960 via the motorways to go and see Katy Perry tonight, 1:22:34.000 --> 1:22:37.320 it's her final show at keutors Bank Arena. But what 1:22:37.360 --> 1:22:41.600 about the Shenanigans A last night there was one of 1:22:41.600 --> 1:22:43.760 the fans, as you've probably seen the video by now, 1:22:44.280 --> 1:22:46.759 jumped up on stage. Well, Katie's there with a guitar 1:22:46.920 --> 1:22:50.640 strummed over her shoulders and she's doing You're Hot and 1:22:50.680 --> 1:22:53.200 Your Cold a big hit, and this bloke jumps up 1:22:53.240 --> 1:22:56.640 from stage and tries to tries to stop her. What 1:22:56.800 --> 1:22:59.519 was he thinking? Now, he's a serial offender, this bloke. 1:23:00.400 --> 1:23:03.720 He's some guy who's known as the Pajama Man. He's 1:23:03.760 --> 1:23:07.160 a content creator, which means he's some blake who performed 1:23:07.240 --> 1:23:11.960 stunts to get likes on social media on Instagram. His 1:23:12.120 --> 1:23:17.240 name is Johnson Win aka the Pajama Man, and the 1:23:17.280 --> 1:23:20.160 Blake's got Form twenty twenty one. He was fined two 1:23:20.200 --> 1:23:22.200 hundred dollars because he ran under the field during the 1:23:22.200 --> 1:23:26.160 third State of Origin match in Brisbane twenty twenty three. 1:23:27.880 --> 1:23:31.439 We were playing India in the ICC. It was in 1:23:31.479 --> 1:23:35.000 the ICC World Cup. He's run under the field. He's 1:23:35.040 --> 1:23:38.160 tribed to grab the Indian captain Virek Cohli and now 1:23:38.240 --> 1:23:56.560 he's done with Katy perrk Katy Perry's final show to 1:23:56.560 --> 1:23:59.600 a night at Kudos Bank Arena, Pajama Man. Hopefully he 1:23:59.640 --> 1:24:02.280 won't be anywhere near the venue now. Talking about rock stars, 1:24:02.360 --> 1:24:06.000 Chris Mins, the Premier, had a rockstar reception at a 1:24:06.160 --> 1:24:10.200 business forum this morning in Sydney. Now it's like the 1:24:10.520 --> 1:24:15.439 Coalition and the Labor Party of switch sides in McCrory Street, 1:24:15.479 --> 1:24:19.320 particularly over the issue of workers compensation. So Daniel Mookie, 1:24:19.320 --> 1:24:23.160 the Treasurer and Chris Mins attended the Business New South 1:24:23.160 --> 1:24:26.280 Wales pre budget breakfast at the Shangrila Hotel this morning 1:24:26.960 --> 1:24:29.320 and they were introduced on the stage by Business Sydney 1:24:29.320 --> 1:24:32.040 executive Director Paul Nikola, who often appears in the program, 1:24:32.680 --> 1:24:37.439 and he introduced the crowd by saying, now turn to 1:24:37.520 --> 1:24:41.679 the person on your left and say I love Chris Mins, 1:24:42.520 --> 1:24:44.920 and then turn to the person on your right and 1:24:44.960 --> 1:24:50.559 say I love Daniel Mookie. This celebration of love by 1:24:50.600 --> 1:24:53.719 the business community was all about the workers compensation issue, 1:24:53.920 --> 1:24:55.760 which you know we've been talking a lot about it 1:24:55.800 --> 1:24:57.439 on the station over the past couple of weeks, is 1:24:57.439 --> 1:24:59.439 now going to be referred to it an Upper House 1:24:59.520 --> 1:25:03.040 inquir And because it's referred to an inquiry, it means 1:25:03.040 --> 1:25:04.840 premiums are likely to go up. 1:25:05.920 --> 1:25:09.840 Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard, if it's happening in your city, 1:25:10.000 --> 1:25:11.720 do you'll hear it on Sydney Now. 1:25:12.200 --> 1:25:14.920 To GenB on the text line zero course zero eight 1:25:14.960 --> 1:25:17.600 seven three eight seven three, Jason asked the question, do 1:25:17.640 --> 1:25:21.320 we know what the etu's problem is? Can they explain 1:25:21.400 --> 1:25:24.720 their position, their concerns They don't like talking publicly now, 1:25:24.760 --> 1:25:26.680 so the ETU will be at the center of this 1:25:26.760 --> 1:25:29.439 hearing before the Fair Work Commission tomorrow that involves the 1:25:29.439 --> 1:25:32.719 state government, the other unions that represent workers of Sydney 1:25:32.760 --> 1:25:36.360 Trains and the ETU. All the other unions, but notably 1:25:36.600 --> 1:25:39.120 the Rail, Tram and Bus Union, are now supportive of 1:25:39.160 --> 1:25:41.439 this new paid year with the state government, but the 1:25:41.439 --> 1:25:44.639 ETU is holding out and because of that it can't 1:25:44.640 --> 1:25:47.240 be finalized, which means, effectively we still have the thread 1:25:47.240 --> 1:25:49.880 of industrial action hanging over our heads. Now why this 1:25:49.960 --> 1:25:52.640 is important with the ETU, because if you cast your 1:25:52.680 --> 1:25:55.800 mind back to January, we had an complete meltdown of 1:25:55.840 --> 1:25:58.719 the rail network. There were two reasons for that. One, 1:25:59.080 --> 1:26:03.080 the RTBU had instructed their drivers on the outer suburban 1:26:03.160 --> 1:26:08.080 network to drive slowly, but the system completely crumbled because 1:26:08.080 --> 1:26:10.920 there was a problem at Bondijunction, and then there was 1:26:10.920 --> 1:26:14.320 another problem at Homebush, a mechanical problem. It was actually 1:26:14.320 --> 1:26:16.679 well no, it wasn't mechanical, it was actually an electrical problem, 1:26:16.920 --> 1:26:19.280 and because the ETU was taking industri real action, it 1:26:19.280 --> 1:26:21.720 couldn't be fixed, which means the trains were stuffed for 1:26:21.760 --> 1:26:24.760 the whole day. So this is the risk. If this 1:26:24.880 --> 1:26:28.360 dispute is not sorted out, we risk that happening again. 1:26:29.439 --> 1:26:32.000 So Jason, what's their problem. Apparently it's a bit of 1:26:32.000 --> 1:26:34.880 a demarcation dispute. It all comes down to how different 1:26:34.920 --> 1:26:38.400 workers are classified. That's a sexually the problem. But the 1:26:38.400 --> 1:26:41.360 fact that this has been going on now effectively for 1:26:41.720 --> 1:26:43.720 two years and dates back to the way when the 1:26:43.760 --> 1:26:46.920 coalition was in power. In the end, we the commuters 1:26:47.439 --> 1:26:50.000 are paying their wages through our taxes and through our 1:26:50.000 --> 1:26:53.320 opal cards, and we're not getting the service. And that's 1:26:53.400 --> 1:26:57.280 unfair on us, the traveling public. A woman's appeared before 1:26:57.360 --> 1:27:01.920 court charged with wine fueled behave on an international flight. 1:27:01.960 --> 1:27:05.799 That's the quote from police wine fueled behavior. The sixty 1:27:05.840 --> 1:27:07.960 four year old is accused of consuming a bottle of 1:27:07.960 --> 1:27:10.519 her own wine on a flight between New Caledonia and 1:27:10.600 --> 1:27:14.200 Sydney last week. When the woman was told she could 1:27:14.200 --> 1:27:16.840 not consume her own alcohol on board the aircraft, she 1:27:16.880 --> 1:27:20.720 allegedly became verbally abusive and, according to the police delegations, 1:27:20.720 --> 1:27:23.439 at one point kicked a crew member in the stomach. 1:27:23.840 --> 1:27:26.880 She allegedly refused instructions to sit down. During the descent, 1:27:27.040 --> 1:27:29.439 she prompted the prompting the crew to attempt to physically 1:27:29.439 --> 1:27:33.519 restrain her in her seat. The AFP then responded, once 1:27:33.560 --> 1:27:35.640 the airline arrived terminal. 1:27:36.040 --> 1:27:39.479 You want to know what's happening in Sydney, stay tuned 1:27:39.520 --> 1:27:43.280 to Sydney Now with Clinton onto gb. 1:27:43.520 --> 1:27:46.599 We spoke a lot about rubbish on the program last week. Well, 1:27:46.640 --> 1:27:49.800 you would have been following this story today about Sydney councils, 1:27:49.880 --> 1:27:53.000 all but three of thirty four local councils planning to 1:27:53.080 --> 1:27:56.080 raise the residential domestic waste service fee. You have a 1:27:56.120 --> 1:27:59.320 close look at your rates and your council rates are 1:27:59.360 --> 1:28:01.640 divided in to the base rate that you pay, but 1:28:01.680 --> 1:28:05.760 there's also that residential domestic waste fee. Well, it's going 1:28:05.800 --> 1:28:08.240 to go up for virtually all of us. Now. Georges 1:28:08.280 --> 1:28:10.720 River Council, we have been in our sites over a 1:28:10.760 --> 1:28:13.200 few issues in the last couple of weeks, but hats 1:28:13.200 --> 1:28:16.360 off to them. They're the only council though there's actually 1:28:16.400 --> 1:28:20.720 three councils overall, but they're the only counselors proposing reducing 1:28:20.840 --> 1:28:24.320 their fee. The average fee of waste collection for the 1:28:24.320 --> 1:28:27.519 Georges River Council will be cut from six hundred and 1:28:27.520 --> 1:28:30.840 thirteen dollars to six hundred dollars. So, while we have 1:28:30.920 --> 1:28:33.360 been bashing up Georges River Council on a few issues 1:28:33.360 --> 1:28:36.880 and with good reason, it's a well a hooray for 1:28:36.960 --> 1:28:39.400 Georges River Council to meet This evening, let's check in 1:28:39.479 --> 1:28:40.600 your headlines. 1:28:40.600 --> 1:28:43.720 An ease, update, upgrade and save with Winston with a 1:28:43.800 --> 1:28:47.879 wine again.

In Sydney's Southwest, a forty six 1:29:17.160 --> 1:29:19.719 year old man was struck and killed when he stepped 1:29:19.760 --> 1:29:23.680 outside his car. Monash Ivf has been caught up in 1:29:23.840 --> 1:29:28.320 another embryo transfer bungle, the second it's admitted to in 1:29:28.600 --> 1:29:32.519 just two months, and research suggests growing costs are seeing 1:29:32.560 --> 1:29:36.479 half of Australian men put off medical appointments. In Sport, 1:29:36.560 --> 1:29:39.679 the Roosters rushed Sam Walk into their side to face 1:29:39.720 --> 1:29:42.280 the Knights after just one game in the New South 1:29:42.320 --> 1:29:46.240 Wales Cup following a knee reconstruction. Clinton more news at. 1:29:46.120 --> 1:29:48.639 Six Sakkati fourteen degrees in the city at the moment, 1:29:48.640 --> 1:29:51.880 It's thirteen degrees in the western suburbs. Now tomorrow the 1:29:51.920 --> 1:29:54.839 program will come to you live from the new Western 1:29:54.880 --> 1:29:58.400 Sydney Airport. I'm going to have the privilege of visiting 1:29:58.439 --> 1:30:00.920 the terminal. It's going to be the first time a 1:30:00.960 --> 1:30:02.840 lot of people are able to see the terminal. It's 1:30:03.000 --> 1:30:05.600 just about finished, so I'll be out there in the 1:30:05.640 --> 1:30:08.679 morning and then in the afternoon will broadcast the show 1:30:08.800 --> 1:30:11.160 from the terminal. The Western City Airport will be operating 1:30:11.360 --> 1:30:16.320 late next year, capable of handling ten million passengers a year, 1:30:16.800 --> 1:30:18.920 and this is going to be very different to Mascot 1:30:19.120 --> 1:30:21.320 because it's going to be a twenty four hour day airport. 1:30:21.360 --> 1:30:21.519 Now. 1:30:21.520 --> 1:30:24.000 I know the flight paths were released last week and 1:30:24.120 --> 1:30:27.320 there's some controversy about the flight paths, but just bear 1:30:27.360 --> 1:30:29.519 in mind initial flight numbers is going to be much 1:30:29.520 --> 1:30:32.160 smaller for the Western Sydney Airport than they are for Mascot, 1:30:32.520 --> 1:30:38.400 and there's also much greater capacity for change there as well. Eventually, eventually, 1:30:38.439 --> 1:30:40.679 the plan is for the Western Sydney Airport to become 1:30:40.720 --> 1:30:43.519 the largest in the city that will handle eighty million 1:30:43.560 --> 1:30:48.280 passengers every single year. The runway will accommodate eight three 1:30:48.320 --> 1:30:51.320 eighties and also seven four seven eighths, so that the 1:30:51.400 --> 1:30:54.519 biggest planes that fly around the globe it'll open late 1:30:54.560 --> 1:30:56.960 next year. Will broadcast the program alive from the Western 1:30:57.000 --> 1:31:01.639 Sydney Airport tomorrow. As update, you did a very positive 1:31:01.680 --> 1:31:04.160 day on the stock market, the All ordinaries trading up 1:31:04.200 --> 1:31:06.320 point eight one of a percent, eight thousand, eight hundred 1:31:06.320 --> 1:31:09.040 and twelve point the ASX two hundred up point eight 1:31:09.120 --> 1:31:12.680 four percent, eight thousand, five hundred and eighty seven one 1:31:12.720 --> 1:31:15.960 Australian dollar buying sixty four US since reason for the 1:31:16.000 --> 1:31:18.840 strong performance in the stock market today is has been 1:31:18.880 --> 1:31:22.679 some very encouraging trade talks between the United States and China. 1:31:23.080 --> 1:31:26.479 Meetings were held in London on Monday between the US 1:31:26.600 --> 1:31:30.519 Treasury Secretary and represented some China and the Treasury Secretary, 1:31:30.600 --> 1:31:32.920 Scott Besnett says, we are doing very well with China. 1:31:33.400 --> 1:31:36.559 It's not easy, but we we're getting some good progress. 1:31:36.640 --> 1:31:40.240 So that's positive for us because even though this is 1:31:40.280 --> 1:31:43.719 the direct relationship between the Chinese and the United States, 1:31:43.840 --> 1:31:46.960 they are both key trading partners for US. So if 1:31:46.960 --> 1:31:49.880 the economies of those two nations suffer, we end up 1:31:49.920 --> 1:31:51.519 suffering on Sydney. 1:31:51.560 --> 1:31:54.680 Now a weather Update will be here to help in 1:31:54.880 --> 1:31:55.880 unexpected weather. 1:31:56.240 --> 1:31:58.519 Nrima Insurance a help company. 1:31:58.520 --> 1:32:00.560 It's been a beautiful day across Sydney hardly it was 1:32:00.600 --> 1:32:02.479 out in the sky a little early obviously, the sun 1:32:02.560 --> 1:32:06.040 going down now tonight the temperature will will drop probably 1:32:06.080 --> 1:32:08.400 just below ten degrees in the coast, fourteen degrees in 1:32:08.439 --> 1:32:11.200 the city at the moment, thirteen in the west. Tomorrow, 1:32:11.360 --> 1:32:15.120 mostly sunny day with the top of eighteen degrees. Thursday, 1:32:15.200 --> 1:32:18.759 a shower all two developing, and sixteen showers on Friday, 1:32:19.040 --> 1:32:21.120 and at this certainly stage for the weekend, a chower 1:32:21.160 --> 1:32:24.280 all two on Saturday, partly cloudy on Sunday. If it 1:32:24.320 --> 1:32:26.280 matters to you, you'll hear it here. 1:32:26.560 --> 1:32:29.759 Sydney Now with Quinton Maynard. Until see let's. 1:32:29.600 --> 1:32:33.160 Talk some sport with Mark Guy. Hello, Mging Clinton, how 1:32:33.160 --> 1:32:35.280 are you, buddy? I know we didn't get to talk yesterday, 1:32:35.479 --> 1:32:37.920 so can I ask you? How is your experience at 1:32:37.960 --> 1:32:39.639 the Mighty Shark Park on Saturday night? 1:32:40.520 --> 1:32:43.479 It was fantastic. We got all there from one pm 1:32:43.560 --> 1:32:46.320 and so I just want to say, for the record, 1:32:46.520 --> 1:32:48.559 the best food that we've ever had delivered to us 1:32:48.600 --> 1:32:51.400 in the commentary box with the continuous call to him, 1:32:51.439 --> 1:32:53.840 it was beautiful fresh sandwiches. And then it was because 1:32:53.880 --> 1:32:58.040 it was the Pacific celebration. We had all this beautiful 1:32:58.040 --> 1:33:01.040 polylegiance to come into the box, which was delightful. So 1:33:01.520 --> 1:33:03.240 to all those at Shark Park, thank you for the 1:33:03.600 --> 1:33:07.120 accommodating gesture on Saturday. It was much appreciated. 1:33:07.200 --> 1:33:09.840 And you're certainly polished off because I turned up at 1:33:10.080 --> 1:33:13.679 just about five thirty. You'd gone and there's no food 1:33:13.680 --> 1:33:15.519 in the box whatsoever. Everyone had eaten it. 1:33:16.360 --> 1:33:19.439 You've got Mark leeby, Mark Guyer and Martin come on, 1:33:19.720 --> 1:33:24.040 come on, and Gow and Gow was there as well. 1:33:24.960 --> 1:33:27.040 Now I've got a mission to make MG about that game. 1:33:27.200 --> 1:33:29.760 So that the boys did have me in the box 1:33:29.800 --> 1:33:32.800 on Saturday night, I left with fifteen minutes to go. 1:33:34.120 --> 1:33:40.360 I walked out, why buddy, what's to be there? They 1:33:40.439 --> 1:33:42.800 were awful. I thought the stage was set for them 1:33:42.840 --> 1:33:46.519 to beat the Warriors. But unfortunately the Warriors that team 1:33:46.640 --> 1:33:48.960 like Camera this year, who are great to watch, and 1:33:49.000 --> 1:33:50.599 they're going to be there when the chips are. 1:33:50.479 --> 1:33:52.920 Down and they have more energy and enthusiasm Crent that 1:33:52.960 --> 1:33:53.559 had none. 1:33:54.360 --> 1:33:56.640 Yeah, that's that's not a good thing that halfway through 1:33:56.680 --> 1:33:58.439 the year, isn't it strength When you haven't got any 1:33:58.840 --> 1:33:59.920 original representatives? 1:34:00.000 --> 1:34:01.720 Well, yeah, they've got a few injuries here and there, 1:34:01.720 --> 1:34:04.320 but they came off a buye. I know they traveler 1:34:04.360 --> 1:34:05.439 at the first half of the year, but they had 1:34:05.439 --> 1:34:06.960 a buy so they should have been rested up and 1:34:07.000 --> 1:34:09.000 they just they'd looked like lethargic. 1:34:09.800 --> 1:34:11.320 Yeah. I was listening to the call on the way 1:34:11.360 --> 1:34:13.720 home and exactly how the boys explained it that they 1:34:13.760 --> 1:34:16.040 looked like they didn't turn up and that's worrying when 1:34:16.080 --> 1:34:19.919 you're playing home after a buy. So back on the horse. 1:34:19.800 --> 1:34:23.400 O KMG team with Tuesday changes obviously because Origin players 1:34:23.439 --> 1:34:25.320 don't play this weekend for their clubs. 1:34:25.800 --> 1:34:29.000 Yeah, some massive inns any out. Cody Walker is out 1:34:29.040 --> 1:34:33.280 for South Sydney without recurring calf injury. So I Cody 1:34:33.280 --> 1:34:35.320 turns thirty six in January, so you might think that 1:34:35.360 --> 1:34:38.799 this is his last season, but look Rooster's halfback seeing 1:34:38.800 --> 1:34:41.600 Walker returns for the first time since a round and 1:34:41.600 --> 1:34:46.719 twenty six last year. He'll play against the Knights on Saturday. 1:34:47.240 --> 1:34:50.920 Turbot was back for Manly after a thigh injury. New 1:34:50.960 --> 1:34:53.759 Bulldog recruit lock at the Galvin. He'll partner Tab Sexton 1:34:53.800 --> 1:34:56.400 in the hears with Matt Burton on Origin. Judy and 1:34:56.520 --> 1:35:01.800 Jackson Hastings comes into the Newcastle's line up for the 1:35:01.840 --> 1:35:04.640 first time this season, so there are a bit of 1:35:04.800 --> 1:35:07.519 trouble at the moment. Knights. Colen Pong was off on 1:35:07.600 --> 1:35:10.519 Origin duties, but Jackson Hastings he'll play his first game 1:35:10.560 --> 1:35:11.439 of the year at night and. 1:35:11.520 --> 1:35:14.080 So Galvin has been named. He was on the bench 1:35:14.160 --> 1:35:16.639 yesterday for the game against the Yels. He will play seven, 1:35:17.280 --> 1:35:20.640 he'll play six. He'll played six because Burton's in the 1:35:20.640 --> 1:35:22.000 extended squad for the Origin. 1:35:22.200 --> 1:35:25.120 Yes, yes, Burtain's eighteenth man, so he'll be playing six. 1:35:25.160 --> 1:35:28.240 But there's some also some Origin news we haven't spoken 1:35:28.240 --> 1:35:30.800 about obviously because we went on there yesterday, but Kevin 1:35:30.840 --> 1:35:34.800 Munster has been named as captain. Look really slad. I 1:35:34.800 --> 1:35:36.680 don't know whether he's playing mind games or what, but 1:35:37.040 --> 1:35:39.280 there is word that he's going to put Pat Carrigan 1:35:39.880 --> 1:35:42.479 and Jeremiah n and I on the bench to start 1:35:42.520 --> 1:35:46.280 with cape Well and Cutter and look for it's worth. 1:35:46.479 --> 1:35:48.800 I think they're two best forwards in the game one 1:35:49.320 --> 1:35:51.800 Carrigan and Nani. So I don't know whether he's playing 1:35:51.840 --> 1:35:55.599 ducks and drapes or I'm still thinking Corey Hawesbury might 1:35:55.600 --> 1:35:58.120 make his way into their seventeen but you know what, 1:35:58.360 --> 1:35:58.840 who cares? 1:35:58.880 --> 1:36:01.040 As we said this, I was surprised he's not in 1:36:01.120 --> 1:36:02.120 the seventeen horse. 1:36:01.880 --> 1:36:04.640 From Yeah, well he's in the twenty. So what I 1:36:04.680 --> 1:36:05.320 suppose was this. 1:36:05.400 --> 1:36:07.320 So far away, it's not just the now. I was 1:36:07.360 --> 1:36:10.599 flight like the Brisbane is to Sydney. I suppose because 1:36:10.640 --> 1:36:13.200 it's four and a half five hour flight over the Perth, 1:36:13.280 --> 1:36:16.120 they've got to take them players as a contingency plan. 1:36:16.240 --> 1:36:19.080 So but you need a madman in this in a 1:36:19.120 --> 1:36:20.599 state of Oregon. So I mean you were the madman 1:36:20.640 --> 1:36:22.639 for New South. Wow, they need one too, don't they? 1:36:23.040 --> 1:36:25.599 I think so. I think they lacked that. You know, 1:36:25.960 --> 1:36:29.200 I felt sorry for Dahli Cherry Evans. I must confess that. 1:36:29.400 --> 1:36:32.760 I don't think when you're a half back, you you've 1:36:32.760 --> 1:36:35.880 got to have your forwards going forward and going really 1:36:35.920 --> 1:36:39.200 strongly against the other pack. And unfortunately for Daily Cherry 1:36:39.240 --> 1:36:42.120 Evans and Munster and Ponger in game one, our forwards 1:36:42.120 --> 1:36:45.160 just depleted the coins leaning forward. So I think that's 1:36:45.160 --> 1:36:46.800 where they should have made the changes. I would have 1:36:46.880 --> 1:36:49.680 even brought Josh Papa Leiki back into the team for 1:36:49.760 --> 1:36:52.160 one last sur I think he would have been He 1:36:52.160 --> 1:36:55.120 would have been one of them inspirational leaders for Coinsland. 1:36:55.160 --> 1:36:58.439 But anyway, they've chosen what they've chosen and let the 1:36:58.600 --> 1:37:01.120 chips lay where they are. Clinton Queenslanders. Look what they're 1:37:01.120 --> 1:37:03.080 going down to zip in Perth. 1:37:03.000 --> 1:37:05.240 And the West Tigers have made it a signing today. 1:37:06.000 --> 1:37:08.680 They have mate Taylor may Is on a train and 1:37:08.720 --> 1:37:11.160 trial deal for the rest of the year. He'll be 1:37:11.240 --> 1:37:15.080 joining his brother Terrell, which is not about signing for 1:37:15.080 --> 1:37:16.840 this time of year, I suppose, because it's you know, 1:37:16.880 --> 1:37:19.719 he's he his handy player hasn't played for a while, 1:37:19.720 --> 1:37:21.360 so we don't know what kind of a position, what 1:37:21.439 --> 1:37:23.800 kind of condition he will be in. But yeah, the 1:37:23.840 --> 1:37:26.960 Tigers and they're also chasing Adam Reynolds. The Tigers are 1:37:27.000 --> 1:37:30.000 as well because the Broncos are kind of yet to 1:37:30.080 --> 1:37:32.759 table him an offer for next year, so the Tigers 1:37:32.760 --> 1:37:34.400 are trying to get into the guard of the Broncos 1:37:34.439 --> 1:37:37.559 and get get Adam Reynolds down to the Tigers next 1:37:37.600 --> 1:37:38.000 year as well. 1:37:38.040 --> 1:37:40.560 You know, some people grow up sometimes they like to 1:37:40.680 --> 1:37:42.560 change their name. He'd have a few troubles if he 1:37:42.680 --> 1:37:46.160 wanted to change his name. Who's that Taylor May Well, 1:37:46.280 --> 1:37:48.920 we'll do because he's got the name may is tattered 1:37:48.920 --> 1:37:50.760 around his neck and you certainly can't rub it off 1:37:50.760 --> 1:37:51.479 with an a race here. 1:37:51.760 --> 1:37:53.880 He'll never get lost, He'll never get lost in the 1:37:53.880 --> 1:37:54.479 shopping center. 1:37:54.560 --> 1:37:57.120 Yeah, there's a video doing the rounds and this shows 1:37:57.240 --> 1:38:01.800 parents in the UK heckling teenager during an under fourteen's 1:38:01.880 --> 1:38:03.080 junior rugby league game. 1:38:03.720 --> 1:38:09.160 Yeah, I've seen it. Look, it's not good, and that's 1:38:09.240 --> 1:38:12.840 kind of vindicative of what happens. Everyone who's listening to 1:38:12.880 --> 1:38:14.880 this chat right now, we'll be not in their head 1:38:14.880 --> 1:38:18.920 when they say that they've seen some parents, coaches, officials 1:38:18.960 --> 1:38:21.000 carrying on like pork chops on the sideline when there's 1:38:21.040 --> 1:38:24.040 kid's playing. Look. I even remember a game when I 1:38:24.040 --> 1:38:27.599 was playing against I was playing for Whalen in the 1:38:27.960 --> 1:38:31.760 Peder Junior Ability competition when I was under twelves. At 1:38:31.760 --> 1:38:33.800 half time, I'm sitting there having an orange with all 1:38:33.840 --> 1:38:36.799 my teammates. The next thing I see is my dad 1:38:37.320 --> 1:38:41.160 chasing someone across the foot field on a post motorbike. 1:38:42.640 --> 1:38:44.719 What we found out ten minutes later was the guy 1:38:44.760 --> 1:38:48.040 who was chasing said to anyone in the black team, 1:38:48.040 --> 1:38:50.559 I'll give you five dollars bash number nine, which I 1:38:50.600 --> 1:38:56.160 was number nine. So Dad found out there. So you're kidding, yes, yes, 1:38:56.200 --> 1:38:59.040 so this is this has been going on since you 1:38:59.080 --> 1:39:02.439 know what, forty years ago, forty five years ago, So 1:39:04.400 --> 1:39:07.639 this is Look, I know. Matt Lodge has said something 1:39:07.680 --> 1:39:10.920 on Instagram as well over the weekend. He said, basically 1:39:10.960 --> 1:39:14.080 he felt obliged to deliver a strong message to it's 1:39:14.160 --> 1:39:16.800 not standing for some of the stuff that they saw 1:39:16.920 --> 1:39:20.280 from coaches parents. He said that he loves the sports 1:39:20.280 --> 1:39:22.680 that much, but the abusing and yelling and swear and 1:39:22.680 --> 1:39:25.200 criticizing kids at a five six seven ages shouldn't happen. 1:39:25.240 --> 1:39:28.920 And I agree, I mean don't. I coached my boys 1:39:28.920 --> 1:39:31.200 for a long time and one of the main reasons 1:39:31.240 --> 1:39:36.040 I stopped coaching was because of parents interference. He's got 1:39:36.080 --> 1:39:38.280 to let the boys be boys or the girls big girls, 1:39:38.800 --> 1:39:40.719 and we've got to stop trying to live our lives 1:39:40.720 --> 1:39:43.080 through their eyes. We've had our chance. Now let them 1:39:43.080 --> 1:39:44.559 play them, let them. 1:39:44.400 --> 1:39:45.040 Do it well. 1:39:45.040 --> 1:39:47.200 I've actually got to say I've only returned this year 1:39:47.240 --> 1:39:50.200 to seeing my son play soccer, and I've got to 1:39:50.240 --> 1:39:53.000 say I've actually seen none of the poor behavior from parents. 1:39:53.360 --> 1:39:55.479 That's great, Yeah, that's fantastic. 1:39:54.960 --> 1:39:57.439 Because you hear of it all the time. But I 1:39:57.600 --> 1:39:59.439 genuinely I don't know if it's just the club that 1:39:59.439 --> 1:40:01.840 they're involved with. I don't know whether it's the area 1:40:01.880 --> 1:40:03.840 or whatever was going on, but I genuinely have seen 1:40:03.880 --> 1:40:04.960 no poor behavior at all. 1:40:05.479 --> 1:40:07.960 Well, I think it is getting better. I think what 1:40:08.120 --> 1:40:10.920 the the I know that the Penouth Junior ABUL League, now, 1:40:10.920 --> 1:40:13.679 if you're going out from the sideline, they'll stop the game. 1:40:14.200 --> 1:40:16.240 The referel point of the person who's yelling and say, 1:40:16.240 --> 1:40:17.680 if you say one more, we're going to fall for 1:40:17.800 --> 1:40:20.280 your team. Yeah, And I think that's as strong as 1:40:20.280 --> 1:40:22.040 you can get. And I think that's what they rething should. 1:40:22.439 --> 1:40:24.439 These kids who are refereeing most times have got to 1:40:24.439 --> 1:40:26.519 have their parents sitting in the car, their kids were 1:40:26.560 --> 1:40:28.920 sitting on the sideline just say that they get abused 1:40:28.960 --> 1:40:30.439 and they're trying to you know, these are the future. 1:40:30.680 --> 1:40:33.120 You know, without refereens, we haven't got a game. People, 1:40:33.120 --> 1:40:35.080 So let them let them go, let them, let them, 1:40:35.160 --> 1:40:36.880 let them live their lives. Yeah, the kids play their 1:40:36.880 --> 1:40:37.479 games as well. 1:40:37.600 --> 1:40:41.040 Spot on good on MG Talk tomorrow Buddy MG back 1:40:41.040 --> 1:40:43.160 with us after five point thirty tomorrow, thirteen to six. 1:40:43.240 --> 1:40:45.080 Peter Aviden mentioned he's going to have a look at 1:40:45.120 --> 1:40:47.519 this in the nine News bullet in tonight. The new 1:40:47.600 --> 1:40:51.240 blood test that is being developed to detect people who 1:40:51.280 --> 1:40:55.040 are celiac. Now, this is quite an amazing statistic. It's 1:40:55.280 --> 1:40:59.400 estimated eighty percent of people who do suffer Celiac disease 1:40:59.479 --> 1:41:02.840 actually don't realize they have it. So those who need 1:41:02.880 --> 1:41:05.799 to be really on a gluten free diet. It's detective 1:41:05.840 --> 1:41:09.960 at the moment, effectively through gastrosophies and biopsies. Now I 1:41:10.120 --> 1:41:12.280 have a condition, not silly, a disease, but I do 1:41:12.360 --> 1:41:15.960 have a regular gastrostrophy. Now it's not a lot of fun. 1:41:16.000 --> 1:41:18.080 You've got to go to hospital, you go under a 1:41:18.120 --> 1:41:21.800 general anesthetic. Well, this will be some new development that 1:41:21.880 --> 1:41:26.400 will be an ultrasensitive blood test and it's being developed 1:41:26.400 --> 1:41:30.400 by some Australians and this will make quite a difference 1:41:30.479 --> 1:41:33.320 because those who have developed this blood test believe that 1:41:33.360 --> 1:41:35.439 it will mean that doctors will be able to be 1:41:35.479 --> 1:41:38.599 more effective in diagnosing the disease and then those who 1:41:38.840 --> 1:41:40.800 shouldn't be eaten gluten will actually be able to stick 1:41:40.840 --> 1:41:43.320 to a diet that won't lead them to be sick. 1:41:43.760 --> 1:41:47.320 It's an important Australian initiative and great that it's actually 1:41:47.360 --> 1:41:49.360 been something that's been developed right here? 1:41:50.760 --> 1:41:51.960 Bos your minds? 1:41:52.439 --> 1:41:55.840 Do you maybe again your questioning on Sydney now questions 1:41:55.960 --> 1:41:57.520 questions against questions? 1:41:57.560 --> 1:41:58.960 That's an important to pay ATTENTI I. 1:41:59.040 --> 1:41:59.880 Knows why you are? 1:42:00.080 --> 1:42:03.640 Has it a question?

It was on this day 1:44:29.280 --> 1:44:32.200 nineteen ninety three. She lived quite a troubled life Shnado 1:44:32.200 --> 1:44:36.200 O'Connor now sadly passed. She took out a full page 1:44:36.240 --> 1:44:38.920 ad in the Irish Times. 1:44:38.479 --> 1:44:40.000 Which is the leading newspaper in. 1:44:39.960 --> 1:44:44.360 Dublin, and the full page ad simply said stop hurting 1:44:44.439 --> 1:44:48.200 me please. She had a really troubled chub. She felt 1:44:48.240 --> 1:44:50.719 that the world was against her. She had some issues 1:44:50.720 --> 1:44:52.880 with the Catholic Church in the paper as well. And 1:44:53.000 --> 1:44:56.240 this song which was her biggest hit, without doubt, do 1:44:56.240 --> 1:45:09.640 you know who was written by Prince? Nothing compares to you? 1:45:09.720 --> 1:45:13.439 And sadly Shaneid O'Connor long gone and writer of that 1:45:13.520 --> 1:45:19.040 chien Prince departed as well. Finally, there's been a fair 1:45:19.040 --> 1:45:21.920 bit of attention paid to the black market tobacco issue 1:45:21.960 --> 1:45:24.840 we have in this country. Well news today that OSTRAC 1:45:25.479 --> 1:45:28.000 is actually now playing a role. Ostrack is what you 1:45:28.080 --> 1:45:31.599 might call the the financial crime fighters in the country. 1:45:31.600 --> 1:45:34.960 They're a special agency under the auspices of the federal government. 1:45:35.320 --> 1:45:37.479 They've now been brought in to look at the back 1:45:37.560 --> 1:45:42.559 end of this trade. They often, for instance, investigate big 1:45:42.600 --> 1:45:45.680 business and financial wrongdoing. What they're now going to be 1:45:45.720 --> 1:45:49.040 involved in is working with state police and federal police 1:45:49.080 --> 1:45:52.400 about how the tobacco industry is being funded, the illegal 1:45:52.560 --> 1:45:55.960 tobacco industry because that's at the heart, particularly of fire 1:45:55.960 --> 1:45:59.680 bombings in Victoria. But how all these tobacconists that have 1:45:59.720 --> 1:46:02.080 opened up everywhere of being financed. 1:46:02.720 --> 1:46:05.840 Do you want to know what's happening in Sydney? Stay 1:46:05.960 --> 1:46:10.080 tuned to send me out with Clinton later ont GB. 1:46:11.080 --> 1:46:13.320 It appears that Celiac disease is one of the most 1:46:13.400 --> 1:46:17.639 underreported significant conditions that Australians suffer. But we're moving closer 1:46:17.680 --> 1:46:20.280 to a new blood test that would actually be able 1:46:20.320 --> 1:46:25.360 to diagnose Celiac disease. Jen, your daughter has Celiac disease. 1:46:25.520 --> 1:46:26.360 Yes, she does. 1:46:26.439 --> 1:46:29.400 We only just discovered it actually just via a biopsy. 1:46:29.600 --> 1:46:32.080 But you know she was on diet, so going on 1:46:32.120 --> 1:46:35.040 and off gluten for quite some time, and then you know, 1:46:35.280 --> 1:46:37.439 having troubles with it, ended up not being able to 1:46:37.439 --> 1:46:41.160 go back to regular school. So you know, to be 1:46:41.240 --> 1:46:42.680 able to sort of have just a blood test to 1:46:42.720 --> 1:46:44.000 be able to tell us would have been great. 1:46:44.200 --> 1:46:46.160 It makes it, It makes it so much easier than 1:46:46.200 --> 1:46:50.599 an invasive persuages procedure. What triggered your thought that she 1:46:50.800 --> 1:46:51.479 did suffer it? 1:46:52.640 --> 1:46:55.200 Just a general symptoms but they weren't sort of all 1:46:55.240 --> 1:46:57.799 the time. Sometimes she would get it, sometimes she wouldn't, 1:46:57.840 --> 1:47:00.479 and so sort of hidden there and when the team ages, 1:47:00.520 --> 1:47:02.000 you know, it's hard to sort of say, you know, 1:47:02.360 --> 1:47:03.000 you really. 1:47:02.800 --> 1:47:05.680 Seek Well, it's become more common in recent years, but 1:47:05.680 --> 1:47:08.559 it's it's very much underdiagnosed. So hopefully this test will 1:47:08.560 --> 1:47:10.960 be available in a few years time. Thanks you called Jin. 1:47:13.439 --> 1:47:16.719 And now a preview of what's coming up on Wide 1:47:16.760 --> 1:47:20.679 World of Sports for the Serrato successor, the turbo charged 1:47:20.760 --> 1:47:24.479 Kia K four.
