Speaker 1: Onto GV. This is sitting now with Clinton.
Speaker 2: May Tuesday, June ten, one three one eight seven three days.
Speaker 2: Clinton Maynard on one of those sensational Sydney afternoons. There's
Speaker 2: hardly a cloud in the sky. Sure it's a little chilly,
Speaker 2: as it has been for a few days, but the
Speaker 2: sky's are absolutely gorgeous this afternoon. Now, I like to
Speaker 2: bring you good news. We are all millionaires. Yes, if
Speaker 2: you own a property on paper, you are a millionaire.
Speaker 2: For the first time, the average Australian home price dwelling
Speaker 2: price has topped a million dollars. Now, this has been
Speaker 2: a case in Sydney for a few years now, but
Speaker 2: according to the ABS, the national mean price of a
Speaker 2: residential dwelling has gone past a million dollars. So celebrate.
Speaker 2: If you're fortunate enough to own property, you are a
Speaker 2: millionaire on paper. At least. Coming up on the show,
Speaker 2: the price of berries is going through the roof. You
Speaker 2: may well need to have a million in the bank
Speaker 2: to buy blueberries. Blueberries in particular, also strawberries. And it's
Speaker 2: not just because of the floods. Straight shooters this afternoon.
Speaker 2: Should private school fees be tax deductible? We're going to
Speaker 2: have a look at that. Mark guys on the program
Speaker 2: after five point thirty. And we've got a great prize
Speaker 2: for the quiz this week, one hundred dollars vouchers to
Speaker 2: give way to spend up at Bankstown Sports Club. We'll
Speaker 2: play the quiz after five point thirty. You are my
Speaker 2: eyes and ears when it's happening in Sydney now, so
Speaker 2: text me zero four six zero eight seven three eight
Speaker 2: seven three have you say one three one eight seven three?
Speaker 2: Well in city now. Police are investigating two hidden runs.
Speaker 2: One of those has resulted in the fatality a pedestrian.
Speaker 2: The forty six year old man has died in Liverpool
Speaker 2: hospital today. This follows an incident this morning Junction Road
Speaker 2: at Lemea. Police used pole Air the helicopter and found
Speaker 2: the car they believe to have been involved in a
Speaker 2: nearby sports center. A seventy seven year old woman has
Speaker 2: been rested. She has not yet been charged. That followed
Speaker 2: another incident in Maryland's where a sixteen year old girl
Speaker 2: was struck at the intersection of Denmark and Anne Street.
Speaker 2: Now she's now in the Children's hospital in Westmead in
Speaker 2: a stable condition. The driver involved in that one has
Speaker 2: not been found. Police would like to speak to anyone
Speaker 2: who has dash cam footage. That's often very handy. Now
Speaker 2: the number for crime stoppers one eight hundred, triple three,
Speaker 2: triple zero. At the same time, police have wrapped up
Speaker 2: their operation their King's Birthday long weekend operation on the roads.
Speaker 2: They've issued more than four thousand speeding infringements and they've
Speaker 2: also detected more than six hundred and fifty people with
Speaker 2: drugs in their system while driving. The Assistant Commissioner, David
Speaker 2: Driver joins me on the show, thank you for your.
Speaker 3: Time, thank you, glinting, good afternoon.
Speaker 2: Just firstly, on these hit runs. There was another hit
Speaker 2: run on Friday in Penrith as well, plus these two
Speaker 2: in the past twenty four hours, we seem to have
Speaker 2: gone through a spate of these sort of incidents.
Speaker 3: We have had three of those incidents recently. Unfortunately two
Speaker 3: of them were fatalities. And so what I can say
Speaker 3: about the incident that occurred on Thursday, A twenty year
Speaker 3: old male has been arrested in respect to that matter.
Speaker 3: So there were some very good investigations conducted by our
Speaker 3: crash Investigation Unit and that identified that driver. So that
Speaker 3: was some very good work, but sadly that the pedestrian
Speaker 3: did pass away. And similarly, we had another fatality this
Speaker 3: morning junction at Lumea. As you mentioned, we're a forty
Speaker 3: six year old man died as a result of injuries
Speaker 3: that he received. So both those matters are still under investigation.
Speaker 2: At seventy seven, you're a woman in custody at the moment.
Speaker 2: She's yet to be charged for your operation over the weekend, David,
Speaker 2: you've issued more than four thousand speeding fines and you've
Speaker 2: conducted a huge number of breath tests. But what jumps
Speaker 2: out at me is the number of people you have
Speaker 2: found with drugs in their system.
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, the offenses committed with the presence of drugs.
Speaker 3: So we conducted over nine and a half thousand random
Speaker 3: drug tests and six hundred and fifty five of those
Speaker 3: tests of those drivers tested positive to either cocaine, methamphetamine
Speaker 3: or cannabis. So it is a concern and what we unfortunately,
Speaker 3: what we are finding. As well, as you mentioned the speeding,
Speaker 3: we had incidents where people were detected exceeding the speed
Speaker 3: limit by more than forty five kilometers an hour, testing
Speaker 3: positive to our cohol mid range, and also having drugs
Speaker 3: in their system. That is just a recipe for disaster.
Speaker 3: So you know, we are out there, we are conducting
Speaker 3: these enforcements, but we really need people to take their
Speaker 3: own take responsibility for their own actions. If they continue
Speaker 3: to commit these offenses, they will get caught police. We
Speaker 3: advertise the fact that we are running special operations, so
Speaker 3: it's a little bit hard to understand why people would
Speaker 3: take the risk knowing that there's going to be that
Speaker 3: enhanced focus on road safety and we publicize it.
Speaker 2: So well, look, there's a lot of people found speeding,
Speaker 2: as you've outlined them, more than four thousand. But if
Speaker 2: I can look at a positive not that anybody found
Speaker 2: to be over the blood alcohol in it is good.
Speaker 2: But if the two hundred and two thousand breath tests
Speaker 2: you conducted, it was fewer than three hundred positives, I
Speaker 2: mean as a percentage, that's actually reasonably good.
Speaker 4: Look.
Speaker 3: Part of random brand of breath testing works on some
Speaker 3: science in respect to a general deterrent effects. So people
Speaker 3: see random breath testing and they know that we're conducting
Speaker 3: that activity, so they make a decision well in advance
Speaker 3: not to drink and drive. So that's part of the strategy.
Speaker 3: Then the other part of the strategy is with our
Speaker 3: mobile stops, it's more a little more targeted given areas,
Speaker 3: and there is a high detection in mobile tests, so
Speaker 3: we combine those two strategies. One is a general deterrent,
Speaker 3: but we saw even over the weekend at stationary sites,
Speaker 3: people were testing at high range levels even at ten
Speaker 3: am in the morning. So it's very, very frustrating when
Speaker 3: we tell people that we are going to be out
Speaker 3: in force, and I don't think there's a genuine appreciation
Speaker 3: of the risk that they are presenting to other martyrs
Speaker 3: and other road users, pedestrians, bike riders, motorbike riders, everyone,
Speaker 3: So it really is stupid behavior.
Speaker 2: So is that a message of people who go out
Speaker 2: drinking the night before, maybe drinking say two in the morning,
Speaker 2: aren't getting the message that there's still alcohol in their
Speaker 2: system at ten o'clock next morning.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it takes about on average, and I say average
Speaker 3: because it does vary between people, but it takes about
Speaker 3: one hour to get rid of one standard drink. So
Speaker 3: that's why the rule of thumb. Two drinks in the
Speaker 3: first hour will take you to a round point zero
Speaker 3: five and the third Every single drink after that will
Speaker 3: keep you at that level if you have one drink
Speaker 3: per hour.
Speaker 2: Good work over the weekend. I saw plenty of your
Speaker 2: officers out there. Thank you. Thanks Assistant Commissioner David Driver.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard on two
Speaker 5: GB com Now one three to one, Take seven.
Speaker 2: Through thirteen past three. Ross over to LA for the
Speaker 2: latest on the riots. Our nine reporter on the ground
Speaker 2: is Jonathan Curzley. John, I, what's the latest, Clinton, as
Speaker 2: you come to us tonight.
Speaker 6: It is a very tense situation here across much of
Speaker 6: downtown Los Angeles. It's been calm most of the day.
Speaker 6: Then essentially we saw this face off between a group
Speaker 6: of protesters, the National Guard and US Border and Customs police.
Speaker 6: Essentially that lasted for hours until something stucked. Essentially the police,
Speaker 6: one of them moved on. What that did, though, was
Speaker 6: moved hundreds and hundreds of protesters throughout different parts of
Speaker 6: the city. So tonight there have been sporadic clashes between
Speaker 6: protesters and police for a fourth night, and they've been
Speaker 6: taking place in different pockets of downtown LA, some outside
Speaker 6: federal buildings, some inside other areas. Really over quite a
Speaker 6: large space of distance, and they are moving fast. They
Speaker 6: seem a lot more organized today than perhaps what they
Speaker 6: were last night. We know last night too that by
Speaker 6: about midnight twelve thirty local time, which is probably five
Speaker 6: five thirty Australian Eastern time, they started to move out
Speaker 6: of the city altogether. Now that is what authorities would
Speaker 6: have wanted much earlier tonight. They're trying to bring this
Speaker 6: to some sort of then, But at this stage tonight
Speaker 6: there's been tear gas been fired, rubber bullets being fired.
Speaker 6: It shows no sign of letting up.
Speaker 2: The seven hundred Marines that Donald Trump has ordered to
Speaker 2: join the two thousand National Guards. Is that seen as
Speaker 2: what's going to end this?
Speaker 6: Well, Donald Trump will think so. But you talk to
Speaker 6: the protesters on the ground, of which there are hundreds
Speaker 6: of the right throughout the city tonight, and they will
Speaker 6: say to you that that is just inflammatory and only
Speaker 6: going to increase the anxiety here on the streets. It's
Speaker 6: not just two thousand National Guard. Donald Trump is promising
Speaker 6: a number two thousand. According to Gavin newsom So, it
Speaker 6: is a real step up of the law enforcement measures
Speaker 6: being taken by the federal government in a state, in
Speaker 6: a city where Essentially, what you have is gold Trump
Speaker 6: pitted against California and against Los Angeles. He is shaping
Speaker 6: up for a good fight here, and he has shown
Speaker 6: that if he does not think that he is going
Speaker 6: to get his way, or people are angry with his
Speaker 6: policy measures, then he is prepared to be heavy handed.
Speaker 6: He is prepared to do things that other presidents have
Speaker 6: not done. I overtake a state governor to take control
Speaker 6: of the National Guards and mobilize them. That's what he's
Speaker 6: done here. Davin Newson has called him illegal. He's trying
Speaker 6: to sue him. But as you talk to next night,
Speaker 6: there's silence blaring throughout all of Los Angeles. I've seen
Speaker 6: fire trucks, police cars going past. There are a number
Speaker 6: of helicopters overhead. The police Airwing has been using their
Speaker 6: search lights throughout a very large perimeter of downtown Los Angeles,
Speaker 6: in and around that core policings. We have seen so
Speaker 6: much action over the course of the last three days.
Speaker 6: So as we enter soon into the early hours of
Speaker 6: yet another day, the anxiety, the ten scenes, the violence,
Speaker 6: it doesn't show any sign of eatings here.
Speaker 2: Click and Jonathan, just lastly, obviously you have iced the
Speaker 2: immigration and Customs enforcement taking people into custody to throw
Speaker 2: them out of the country, but protesters themselves being arrested
Speaker 2: in charge.
Speaker 6: Protesters have been arrested tonight. There have been a number
Speaker 6: of them told by police, but because they did not
Speaker 6: listen to dispersal orders, because they were told to get
Speaker 6: out of the way and did not, though they were
Speaker 6: all going to be arrested. The LAPD had said earlier
Speaker 6: today that they had made some fifty arrests over the
Speaker 6: course of the last day or so. Now those numbers
Speaker 6: are only going to increase once they identify people. The
Speaker 6: federal government has announced that they've identified somebody who is
Speaker 6: throwing rocks at immigration vehicles the other nights. They are
Speaker 6: now obviously seeking them. We've seen ice raids carried out
Speaker 6: again today in a different part of Los Angeles. We've
Speaker 6: seen protests take place not just here in LA but
Speaker 6: in other cities in Tampa, in Florida, and Dallas and Texas.
Speaker 6: In New York, a sitting protest at Trump Tower, and
Speaker 6: the anger is spreading bit by bit by bit by
Speaker 6: bit by bit. And what this is is a very
Speaker 6: tense situation that is having ramifications, not just for the
Speaker 6: city of angels, but for the country of the United
Speaker 6: States of America. There are many people in many cities
Speaker 6: watching this. Donald Trump is called the paid antagonists taking
Speaker 6: past in these protests. He believes that people are being
Speaker 6: drafted in from outside of these cities to increase the
Speaker 6: level of violence here. You talk to officials here in
Speaker 6: LA and they're saying, no, that's not the case. They're
Speaker 6: pushing the blame onto Donald Trump. So right the way,
Speaker 6: from the top down to the people who are battling
Speaker 6: this on the streets, there is a clash of ideas,
Speaker 6: a clash of personality, and no sign that they can
Speaker 6: find any sort of common ground to try and bring
Speaker 6: this to an end, and it's an end that really
Speaker 6: is needed.
Speaker 2: Fast, Stay safe this evening. It is eighteen past ten
Speaker 2: where you're at the moment. We'll see your nine years tonight.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Jonathan, Thanks.
Speaker 6: Basin, and thanks for having it's not always good stuck
Speaker 6: funeral listeners.
Speaker 2: Jonathan Curzley on the ground in LA at the moment.
Speaker 2: Certainly will cross back to John Oo in our nine
Speaker 2: correspondent should there be developments, So tomorrow there will be
Speaker 2: directions hearing in the Fair Work Commission to try to
Speaker 2: resolve this ongoing dispute between the state government and the
Speaker 2: combined rail Unions. Now I shouldn't say the combined rail
Speaker 2: unions because all the unions involved in long running dispute,
Speaker 2: they've all agreed now to the state government's pay deal
Speaker 2: except one of them, the e TOU, the Electrical Trades Union,
Speaker 2: and because they haven't agreed, it's holding up the whole process.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 2: I was in contact with the RTBU president over the
Speaker 2: weekend and he's frustrated. Now I know there's plenty of
Speaker 2: you are frustrated with them because they've put us through hell,
Speaker 2: us commuters for the last couple of years. But at
Speaker 2: least now they've agreed to the deal from the state
Speaker 2: government and they just want to get on with it.
Speaker 2: They are frustrated the ETU is now holding up the
Speaker 2: whole process. So the government has now informed me that
Speaker 2: tomorrow there'll be a directions hearing at ten thirty and
Speaker 2: this direction's hearing effectively what they want to do. They
Speaker 2: want to force the unions to put this issue to
Speaker 2: a vote of their members. John Graham says, we've made
Speaker 2: our requests for rail workers to now decide to finalize
Speaker 2: this agreement, but we will respect the decision of the
Speaker 2: Fair Work Commission. Wrapping up this agreement, we'll give workers
Speaker 2: a fair pay rise and provide a million daily passenger's certainty.
Speaker 2: The disruption from protracted industrial action is over. So basically
Speaker 2: what they want to do is give the members a
Speaker 2: vote of all the unions, THETU, the RTBU, the other
Speaker 2: ones involved. The RTB you, they're now on board. They
Speaker 2: represent more than eight and a half thousand Sydney Trains workers.
Speaker 2: The ETU represents eight hundred eight hundred and the actual
Speaker 2: individual members themselves. They haven't had a say on it.
Speaker 2: So what they want the Fair Work Commission to do
Speaker 2: tomorrows say, look forget the management of the union, a
Speaker 2: lot of them. Just let the members have their say
Speaker 2: and then hopefully they'll vote for the agreement and we
Speaker 2: can get on with life.
Speaker 5: Be your part of Sydney now with Clinton. Maynard called
Speaker 5: one three.
Speaker 2: One eight twenty four past three. I was listening to
Speaker 2: Mark Levy this morning and the story he brought us
Speaker 2: from Buxton just blew my mind. A set of plaques
Speaker 2: on park benches, plaques that are remembering the victims of
Speaker 2: the car crash back in twenty twenty two that resulted
Speaker 2: in five teenagers being killed. A set of plarks have
Speaker 2: been ripped off the benches and stolen, a beautiful tribute
Speaker 2: to those those teenagers who died. Mark spoke with John Vanderpoot.
Speaker 2: He's the father of fourteen year old Lily who died
Speaker 2: in the crash.
Speaker 7: I don't know why anyone would take it. There's just,
Speaker 7: full stop, there's no gain for them. And as you said,
Speaker 7: the council made some nice benches there and remind everyone
Speaker 7: how to drive safe and whatnot. So it's in there
Speaker 7: face when kids sit on the bench, especially the kids
Speaker 7: are walking from Pitton Eye to Tarmor and that nice pathway.
Speaker 7: They sit there and they can reflect and think about
Speaker 7: safe driving and all that. And someone has just taking
Speaker 7: these plarks and I just absolutely, I just I don't
Speaker 7: no words for it. I'm disgusted. There's no gain, in
Speaker 7: absolutely no gain.
Speaker 2: What's your message to the low life that's done it.
Speaker 7: We'll just drop the parks back somewhere and we'll just
Speaker 7: get the council put them back on. It might have
Speaker 7: been a couple of young fellows or yeah. I just
Speaker 7: think they're being smart, you know what. I mean, that's o.
Speaker 7: Katie's just return them and no questions asked.
Speaker 2: Why would anyone do that? Now? All around the city
Speaker 2: you see pluques that are left on benches to remember
Speaker 2: people who've passed away, sometimes like this, in absolute tragic circumstances,
Speaker 2: from other people who've donated some money to a foundation,
Speaker 2: maybe donated a park bench. Why would anybody be motivated
Speaker 2: to steal a plaque? Just do the right thing, as
Speaker 2: John says, there'll be no questions asked. Just hand the
Speaker 2: pluks back an.
Speaker 5: Ease, update, upgrade and save with Winston with a Wine
Speaker 5: give twenty five percent of motorized blinds, curtains and awnings.
Speaker 5: Book now at Winston dot com dot au.
Speaker 2: It's a good afternoon to Katie Fuller.
Speaker 8: Good afternoon. Clinton Police are investigating two separate hit and
Speaker 8: runs in Sydney. The search is underway for a driver
Speaker 8: after a sixteen year old girl was struck and injured
Speaker 8: at Mary Lane. A forty six year old man has
Speaker 8: been killed in a separate incident at Loma. The alleged
Speaker 8: driver has been arrested. The Prime Minister says he'll be
Speaker 8: seeking win wins when he sits down with the US
Speaker 8: President next week. Trade and defense will be on the
Speaker 8: agenda during Anthony Albanesi's first face to face meeting with
Speaker 8: Donald Trump. Premier Chrismins says his confident prew card will
Speaker 8: be back on deck within months as she undergoes treatment
Speaker 8: for breast cancer. The Deputy Premier has confirmed she's taking
Speaker 8: immediate leave, and a search is underway on Tasmania's Cradle
Speaker 8: Mountain for a man thought to be missing in below
Speaker 8: freezing temperatures in Sport. Tottenham has opened talks with Brentford
Speaker 8: manager Thomas Frank as they look to replace and Posta Coglu,
Speaker 8: The Australian manager was zacked last week after the spurs
Speaker 8: worst Premier League season in fifty years. Clinton More news it.
Speaker 2: For eighteen degrees in the city at seventeen degrees in
Speaker 2: the western suburbs peter Ford coming up in just a moment,
Speaker 2: but just on the issue of the plaques that beIN
Speaker 2: stolen from Buxton, from the seats there that were marking
Speaker 2: the deaths of those teenagers back in twenty twenty two
Speaker 2: ash reckons. Look if the planks were brass, I guess
Speaker 2: they were taken for scrap metal, but still the amount
Speaker 2: of metal is tiny. Hello George.
Speaker 9: Hello, we had a similar problem at our memorial Park.
Speaker 9: I'm a member of Midfield RSL sub branch right, and
Speaker 9: we had fourteen plarques stolen. Fairfield RSL, their Memorial Park
Speaker 9: had many plarques stolen as well, and they police found
Speaker 9: them in the local scrap metal dealer.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So what are the planks made of? Are they brass?
Speaker 1: Bronze?
Speaker 2: It's bronze. So what the aim is to melt them down,
Speaker 2: sell them for scrap.
Speaker 9: Well, they just take them in and sell them a
Speaker 9: scrap metal, mix them in with other metals that they have,
Speaker 9: and they tend to get missed.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was going to say, surely that the scrap metal
Speaker 2: dealer could detect that when there's an inscription on the plat,
Speaker 2: But I guess if it's just in a big, huge
Speaker 2: box of a lot of scrap metal, it's not going
Speaker 2: to be picked up. Look. Thanks, so letting me know
Speaker 2: about that, Georgian. That's pretty shocking.
Speaker 5: If it's happening in Sydney, you'll hear it on Sydney
Speaker 5: Now with Clinton Maynard on.
Speaker 1: To GB Well.
Speaker 2: Peter Ford predicted that the project would be accident. Indeed,
Speaker 2: over the weekend the acts came down on the projector
Speaker 2: what's the reaction been in the industry peak.
Speaker 11: Well, certainly not shock. I mean, as you suggest, it
Speaker 11: was a badly kept secret, and lots of stuff have
Speaker 11: been leaking out about the replacement show. I guess the
Speaker 11: one big surprise was how swiftly it's going, finishing on
Speaker 11: June twenty seven. Now, I'm assuming that must be somehow
Speaker 11: connected to the end of the financial year and the
Speaker 11: contracts with the company that produces the show, and then
Speaker 11: the news show starts the following week. That worries me.
Speaker 11: That's not a long lead in time to get a
Speaker 11: show up and going, particularly if you are doing long
Speaker 11: form journalism or investigative journalism. They've only got a couple
Speaker 11: of weeks to pull it together. Now, they've probably been
Speaker 11: working secretly for a few weeks already, but it would
Speaker 11: seem a lot of the staff and he began work
Speaker 11: on the show last week. So you'd like to think
Speaker 11: in their first week they're going to make an impact
Speaker 11: and pull a few rabbits out of the hat. I
Speaker 11: hope they do, but it is a very short lead
Speaker 11: up time. But as for the project, I mean it
Speaker 11: was a great run, even if it is going out
Speaker 11: with a whimper. To do sixteen years is quite something
Speaker 11: that has a place in the history of Australian TV,
Speaker 11: and they did in their early days. They were providing
Speaker 11: something that was quite unique and innovative and all that.
Speaker 11: I think it's a shame the show became so toxic,
Speaker 11: even if it was undeserved. It became very toxic in
Speaker 11: the minds of a lot of people. But you know,
Speaker 11: that's the way it goes. Sixteen years is a good
Speaker 11: innings in TV.
Speaker 2: Our former colleague here at TGB, Steve Price, who was
Speaker 2: on the program for more than fifteen years, you wrote
Speaker 2: a piece in the Herald Sun today and he pointed out, firstly,
Speaker 2: but the project's been You mentioned the toxicity of it,
Speaker 2: but it's been known as a lefty program. Price. He
Speaker 2: was making the point, well, I'm hardly a lefty, so
Speaker 2: they did entertain other views. But he was also highlighting
Speaker 2: the fact that it was a program that was produced
Speaker 2: in Melbourne and he says it's a great loss to
Speaker 2: lose that style of programming from Melbourne. In this day
Speaker 2: and age. Does that matter where a current affairs program
Speaker 2: is actually produced and broadcast from.
Speaker 11: Well selfishly, it matters obviously for the people who live
Speaker 11: in Melbourne and want to get jobs on that style
Speaker 11: of television, but shows in that sense do come and go.
Speaker 11: But I thought the piece that Price wrote was very good. Also,
Speaker 11: I thought Sarah last night, Sarah Harris, who I really rate.
Speaker 11: I hope she ends up somewhere. I thought she also
Speaker 11: made the point that, look, you see the people sitting
Speaker 11: at the desk, but there's another sixty to seventy people
Speaker 11: who lost their jobs whose faces you don't know, who
Speaker 11: don't earn big TV star salaries. They were a lot
Speaker 11: of them are freelancers, so that don't even get any notice.
Speaker 11: They just get pretty much dismissed on the spot. You know,
Speaker 11: they're the people who you ought to feel a bit
Speaker 11: sorry for you.
Speaker 2: They have those run of show deals, so it's not
Speaker 2: like they've given six weeks notice. Now there's been a
Speaker 2: big twist in the Justin Baldoni Blake Lively case.
Speaker 11: Yeah, well, I know this goes on so very long
Speaker 11: story short. Justin Baldoni was director and star of a
Speaker 11: movie called This Ends with Us. Blake Lively, who's married
Speaker 11: to Ryan Reynolds, was the female co star in it. Now.
Speaker 11: Earlier late last year, actually, she suddenly announced that she
Speaker 11: was going to be suing Baldoni for all sorts of
Speaker 11: terrible things, including workplace harassment, and The New York Times
Speaker 11: broke the story with the details of what she was
Speaker 11: suing about. He said, no, hang on, I'm actually going
Speaker 11: to sue you for saying all this stuff. I'm suing
Speaker 11: you for defamation. So it was due to go to
Speaker 11: court de March of next year. Now what's happened is
Speaker 11: the judge has thrown out justin Baldoni's case, her case
Speaker 11: still goes ahead, and the fact that his case is
Speaker 11: thrown out does not in any way indicate that she's
Speaker 11: a shoeing to win. I don't think she is at all.
Speaker 11: But in his case, what the judge ruled was that
Speaker 11: if you make allegations in court documents, then you can't
Speaker 11: be suits the defamation for that. If you can't make
Speaker 11: an allegation of court document where you're going to make it.
Speaker 11: Had she gone on a TV show or a radio
Speaker 11: show and made those claims, then absolutely there'll be defamation.
Speaker 11: So his side of it is thrown out, and certainly
Speaker 11: for today, there's no doubt she's had a win, but
Speaker 11: it's by no means over well.
Speaker 2: Keip following that with some interest. Thank you, Pete Dans Clinton,
Speaker 2: Peter Ford. It's twenty two to four. Our thoughts go
Speaker 2: out to the New South Wales Deputy Premier prew Car,
Speaker 2: who I think has handled her cancer diagnosis today with
Speaker 2: so much dignity and remember and you're now to follow
Speaker 2: this throughout the day. This is the second time Prewe
Speaker 2: Carr has contracted cancer. She successfully fought off cancer in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two. This time she's been diagnosed with breast
Speaker 2: cancer before.
Speaker 12: And I'm really confident that I can fight it again.
Speaker 12: The prognosis is good. The amazing medical team around me
Speaker 12: are really hopeful about the prospects after treatment, and so
Speaker 12: am I. I want to say a massive thank you
Speaker 12: to everyone so far in New South Wales health absolutely
Speaker 12: amazing and I just want to remind everyone to all
Speaker 12: the women out there, just be really vigilant with your checks,
Speaker 12: getting it early. This is what's happened in my case
Speaker 12: is so.
Speaker 2: Important and that's an important message from preu Car and
Speaker 2: Preue Car is relatively a young woman and this is
Speaker 2: the second time she's been struck down by cancer, but
Speaker 2: fortunately the doctors have discovered it early. Chris Minns has
Speaker 2: made tribute to her tenacity.
Speaker 13: See the determination in a member of Parliament who has
Speaker 13: to and has done been able to fight off cancer
Speaker 13: previously as well as assuming the second most important position
Speaker 13: in the state.
Speaker 2: And Mark Speakman's also had kind words.
Speaker 14: This is something above politics and the thoughts and prayers
Speaker 14: of everyone in the opposition go out to Prue and
Speaker 14: wish her a strong and speedy recovery. I'm happy to
Speaker 14: hear that the prognosis is good. Of course I'm devastated
Speaker 14: to hear the general news, but I'm happy to hear
Speaker 14: that the prognosis is good.
Speaker 2: She will remain as the Deputy Premier for now, there's
Speaker 2: not an acting Deputy Premier. She'll continue to be in
Speaker 2: contact with Chris Mins and the cabinet. She will stand
Speaker 2: down for now as the Education Minister, and Courtney Husos
Speaker 2: takes on that role in an acting position. And she
Speaker 2: also wanted to make it clear that for residents who
Speaker 2: live in her Electric Londonderry, so in the Penrith district,
Speaker 2: if you still have issues that you want examined, that
Speaker 2: you want fought out in Parliament. If you've got problems,
Speaker 2: don't hesitate to contact her office. Just because she's going
Speaker 2: to be taking time off from being an MP. It
Speaker 2: doesn't mean that the staff will not follow up your concerns.
Speaker 2: So if you do have issues in Londonderry, make sure
Speaker 2: you still take them to the office of preu car
Speaker 2: all the thoughts of everyone here at two GB with
Speaker 2: the Deputy Premier. Climate activist Greta Thunberg is now in
Speaker 2: custody with the Israelis after she was aboard a vessel
Speaker 2: that had headed to Gaza to protest the treatment of
Speaker 2: Israel against the people in Gaza pro Palestinian protests. The
Speaker 2: Israeli Defense Minister has today ordered the Greta Thunberg be
Speaker 2: shown a video of the atrocities committed during the Hamas
Speaker 2: attack on October seven, twenty and twenty three. He says
Speaker 2: it may well change her perspective. Three one eight seven
Speaker 2: three is our number. A man is before the courts
Speaker 2: after being arrested over a bag snatch. Now the man
Speaker 2: is innocent until pleaded until proven guilty, but he's accused
Speaker 2: of attacking a seventy three year old at toun Gaby
Speaker 2: Radio railway station. Fortunately the woman was an in gyp.
Speaker 2: She was taking a hospital and she was checked over.
Speaker 2: She was actually okay. Police then arrested a twenty one
Speaker 2: year old man of the service station, Pendall Hill. He's
Speaker 2: been charged with stealing from a person. He's appearing before.
Speaker 5: The courts Sidney now with Clinton Maynard. If it's happening
Speaker 5: in your sitting, you'll hear it. Monti Now it's to.
Speaker 2: Gb it's called to the four. Have you noticed the
Speaker 2: price of berries, in particular blueberries. We are in courage
Speaker 2: to eat blueberries. They're regarded as one of nature's super foods.
Speaker 2: They're great for you. Supermarket prices have reached nine dollars
Speaker 2: eighty for a punnet. Now a punet's about one hundred
Speaker 2: and twenty five grams, and that's much higher than the
Speaker 2: prices usually are in winter. And I was wondering whether
Speaker 2: the floods are responsible. No, it's not. The floods is
Speaker 2: at the time of the year. Apparently it's going to
Speaker 2: take longer for the berri's prices to come back down.
Speaker 2: Rachel mackenzie is the executive director of Berries Australia and
Speaker 2: joins us. So thank you for your time, Rachel, You're
Speaker 2: welcome via blueberries in particular, so expensive at the moment, Well.
Speaker 15: It always happens this time of year. It is actually
Speaker 15: a gap in our supply. So whilst we do grow
Speaker 15: blueberries twelve months of the year here in Australia and
Speaker 15: are actually the only country to do so, it is
Speaker 15: just a trickle at this time of year. However, consumers
Speaker 15: should be pleased to know that supply will pick up
Speaker 15: fairly soon and that will certainly impact price.
Speaker 2: Because I was wondering, I know a lot of blueberries
Speaker 2: are grown around Coff's Harbor and obviously the Mid North Coast,
Speaker 2: and I was there a couple of weeks ago. It
Speaker 2: has been affected by the flood so I thought perhaps
Speaker 2: it was linked to the weather.
Speaker 15: Not at this time of year, this is pretty standard. However,
Speaker 15: the floods will potentially have an impact on supply in
Speaker 15: a few weeks time. We're looking at maybe a reduction
Speaker 15: of around twenty five percent, So the fruit that was
Speaker 15: impacted by the floods would not be coming onto the
Speaker 15: shelves at the moment. Okay, certainly in a few weeks
Speaker 15: time it may have some impact.
Speaker 2: So does that mean it's going to take a little
Speaker 2: bit longer for the prices to come down to where
Speaker 2: they normally would be.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I think that's a reasonable assessment. It's hard to know,
Speaker 15: particularly as there is more and more production, especially over
Speaker 15: in Western Australia, which might balance out that impact on
Speaker 15: the coffs have a region, but I would expect that
Speaker 15: there will be a drop in supply and that does
Speaker 15: lead to increased prices. However, we are coming into our
Speaker 15: peak season and you know prices can drop as low
Speaker 15: as two dollars eighty a punt like they did last year.
Speaker 2: What about strawberry prices At the moment strawberry prices are
Speaker 2: also high.
Speaker 15: Again, we are just in that seasonal gap. So Australia's
Speaker 15: pretty lucky. We've got a very strong summer production window
Speaker 15: in Victoria and Tasmania and then Queen Zone really picks
Speaker 15: up the slack for winter. But we're just in that
Speaker 15: little in between period where there's not a lot of
Speaker 15: fruit around.
Speaker 2: Just wondering whether Aussies have sort of changed their expectations
Speaker 2: when it comes to fresh fruit and vegs these days,
Speaker 2: that there's almost an expectation that you've got good quality
Speaker 2: and good value all year round.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 15: Look, I think it is an interesting one because I
Speaker 15: think we all want the best product, and the best
Speaker 15: product grows in the season that feeds it. And we're
Speaker 15: not a country that imports a lot of products across
Speaker 15: the full suite of fruit and vegetables. So I think
Speaker 15: as consumers, my advice is really take advantage of the
Speaker 15: product when it is in peak season, because not only
Speaker 15: will it be less expensive, but it will just be
Speaker 15: the best quality then.
Speaker 2: Too, makes some sense. Thank you, Rachel, Thanks very much,
Speaker 2: Rachel McKenzie, who's the executive director of Berry Is Australia.
Speaker 2: So the price should start coming down on LI. But
Speaker 2: I do think maybe we've changed their attitudes compared to say,
Speaker 2: when we're kids, we are so lucky compared to most
Speaker 2: other countries that we have this amazing abundance supply of
Speaker 2: fresh fruit in particular and veg as well. You always
Speaker 2: start to build this expectation that it's always available depending
Speaker 2: not depending on what season we're in, and that it's
Speaker 2: a good price. Is Grant on the text line says
Speaker 2: you got to start driving down to the Highlands and
Speaker 2: shopping at the Robertson fruit shop. They have two punts
Speaker 2: of berries the other day for five bucks two punts
Speaker 2: of strawberries, similar price, best fruit and edgies in the Highland.
Speaker 2: So that's Robertson. I thought Roberson was just home to
Speaker 2: the potatoes. Keet me started on the big potato. Do
Speaker 2: you have solar panels on your roof? Well, the state
Speaker 2: government is today announced an additional incentive for you to
Speaker 2: get a battery for your solar panels. Because it's all
Speaker 2: well and good for you to generate electricity through your panels.
Speaker 2: But if that's all happening in the middle of the
Speaker 2: day and you want to use the solar at night
Speaker 2: and it disappears, well, fat lot of good it is,
Speaker 2: so really it makes sense to have a battery, but
Speaker 2: the price of batteries is hideous. So what the government
Speaker 2: along with the federal government, has done today is is
Speaker 2: effectively double the incentive. So there'll be a fifteen hundred
Speaker 2: dollar payment if you install a battery and you're connected
Speaker 2: to the virtual power plant. The virtual power plant is
Speaker 2: basically it shared electricity with your neighbors. So overall, the
Speaker 2: combined benefit is going to be five thousand dollars up front. So,
Speaker 2: for instance, you install an eleven and a half kilowatt system,
Speaker 2: which I understand costs about ten thousand dollars. You'll get
Speaker 2: a support payment of five thousand, so you'll still be
Speaker 2: up for five thousand dollars, but it may well help
Speaker 2: you save in the long run if you install a
Speaker 2: large battery. So at twenty seven kilo battery, now that
Speaker 2: cost thirty thousand dollars. You've received a discount of around
Speaker 2: ten thousand from the Commonwealth program and then there's an
Speaker 2: upfront payment of fifteen hundred from New South Wales. And
Speaker 2: the reality is a lot of Australians, whatever you think
Speaker 2: about renewable energy, a huge proportion of Australians have solar
Speaker 2: panels on their roof. It actually has been a very
Speaker 2: popular form of power, but it doesn't really work unless
Speaker 2: you've got a battery. And I think the percentage of
Speaker 2: Australians who have solar but have a battery is about
Speaker 2: fifteen percent. It's tiny and it's because of the price.
Speaker 2: So this is probably smart from both the governments. I
Speaker 2: just wish when originally, say twenty years ago, the push
Speaker 2: for renewable started, instead of our authorities and our government's
Speaker 2: thinking about offshore wind farms, thinking about solar panels in
Speaker 2: bush areas in agricultural is Why didn't they start thinking
Speaker 2: about the way we use solar panels in suburban areas
Speaker 2: that have been popular in this country for years. Why
Speaker 2: didn't we introduce battery schemes and put the investment in
Speaker 2: batteries and rooftop solar ten fifteen years ago rather than say,
Speaker 2: let's build offs your wind farms. Wouldn't that make more sense.
Speaker 5: Sydney now with Clinton Maynard. If it's happening in your sitting,
Speaker 5: you'll hear it on Sydney now to.
Speaker 2: Ginb if you'd send a text message zero force zero
Speaker 2: eight seven three eight seven to three of the prices
Speaker 2: of fresh fruit and vege at the moment James is
Speaker 2: telling me about round beans twenty four to ninety nine
Speaker 2: a kilogram at pendor Hill Market, You've got to be kidding. Well,
Speaker 2: I guess that's when you don't buy your round beans.
Speaker 2: I guess we need to be selective when we're buying
Speaker 2: fresh fruit and fitch. Look. I spoke at the start
Speaker 2: of the program about the police operation on the roads
Speaker 2: across the weekend more than four thousand people caught speeding.
Speaker 2: Reality is I just wonder whether the double demerit point
Speaker 2: threat is still a effective. We've been doing it for
Speaker 2: years and the number of bit more speeding keeps going
Speaker 2: up every holiday period. I think we need to start
Speaker 2: the process of road safety, better road safety by changing
Speaker 2: the way we train junior drivers, how we train our
Speaker 2: sixteen year olds and our seventeen year olds, have more
Speaker 2: advanced driver training, defensive driving, having a stricter system of testing.
Speaker 2: But I had a few text messages when I raised
Speaker 2: the issues of the road till last week, suggesting that
Speaker 2: we do what they do in Europe and introduce speed
Speaker 2: limitters in our car. Some of our listeners were arguing
Speaker 2: with me, what's the point in having a car that's
Speaker 2: capable of doing one hundred and eighty kil limmeters now
Speaker 2: when the speed zones one hundred and ten now. Appreciate
Speaker 2: your perspective there, But I was reading today about the
Speaker 2: latest VW golf and the technology that is being used
Speaker 2: in Europe, and in Europe it includes a mandate for
Speaker 2: speed limitters in cars. Now, I actually think that is
Speaker 2: verging on George or or nineteen eighty four stuff. I
Speaker 2: think that'd be going too far. I don't think we
Speaker 2: want to get to the point where the government the
Speaker 2: authorities are able to control using technology how fast we drive.
Speaker 2: That's going too far. Let's start with our sixteen year
Speaker 2: olds and seventeen year olds and training them better in
Speaker 2: the first place, and then testing them more thoroughly. But
Speaker 2: I bring this up because VW has confirmed they will
Speaker 2: not activate this software for their latest golf in our market.
Speaker 2: They say that there are issues with how the software
Speaker 2: can be used. Now, if you have a modern car,
Speaker 2: you may have a dashboard, for instance, and technology with
Speaker 2: cameras in your car that can pick up roadside speed signs.
Speaker 2: Have you noticed they're often wrong? Now we've got that
Speaker 2: in Oursuzomox, and you might be going through a seventy zone,
Speaker 2: for instance, a ninety pops up because it doesn't read
Speaker 2: the sign correctly. And the way the technology works, it's
Speaker 2: actually quite impressive when it works, and you'll get a
Speaker 2: little warning on your dashboard saying you're going through a
Speaker 2: sixty zone and it might start flashing if you go
Speaker 2: sixty six. Well, the way it works in Europe, and
Speaker 2: the technology in Europe is not it's compulsory in cars,
Speaker 2: in new cars, but a driver can actually switch it
Speaker 2: off the way it works in Europe when you go
Speaker 2: through a speed zone and if the camera detects you
Speaker 2: driving at sixty five and a sixty zone, there's gentle
Speaker 2: pushback on your throttle and there's an autonomous reduction in
Speaker 2: your engine power. Now VW says here they will not
Speaker 2: do that because they've seen with some other manufacturers the
Speaker 2: technology not working properly. And I've seen that with our
Speaker 2: own car that sometimes the cameras don't read those speed
Speaker 2: signs correctly. So I don't think we want to go
Speaker 2: down that path, but there's probably a reality of how
Speaker 2: the future is going to work, and I don't want
Speaker 2: to see the day we're a government, the police force
Speaker 2: Transport for New South Wales can control your speed behind
Speaker 2: the wheel. I think that's going way too far, I reckon. Honestly.
Speaker 2: What we need to do is tough en up the
Speaker 2: way we try and drivers in the first place have
Speaker 2: advanced driving courses as mandatory is part of the system,
Speaker 2: and then when kids are actually sitting for their license,
Speaker 2: a tougher system there side.
Speaker 1: Now we've clinton.
Speaker 2: On t GB seven past four one three eight seventy three.
Speaker 2: I'm looking at live pictures being the courtesy of sky
Speaker 2: from the streets of LA. It is just gone eleven
Speaker 2: o'clock at night and there are still fires burning. I'm
Speaker 2: looking at some vision from an intersection. This is a
Speaker 2: major intersection, and this is an area of LA where
Speaker 2: effectively they're under curfew. Now people aren't meant to be
Speaker 2: out in the streets, and there is a fire burning
Speaker 2: right in the middle of the intersection. There are still
Speaker 2: ongoing clashes between the protesters, some who've been taken to
Speaker 2: the custody and police along with the National Guard and
Speaker 2: now the Marines. There have been seven hundred Marines who've
Speaker 2: been deployed to LA and that decision by Donald Trump
Speaker 2: and his administration has been criticized by the Democrat Governor
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom. He is condemned it as being an American
Speaker 2: that's what he says. He says, this should not be
Speaker 2: a role of marines. He says, marines are heroes who
Speaker 2: have served their country defending democracy. They should not be
Speaker 2: deployed on American soil, facing their own countrymen to fulfill
Speaker 2: the deranged fantasy of a dictatorial president. I mean when
Speaker 2: he does say to take on their own countrymen, Well,
Speaker 2: what mister Trump is doing here and not defending what's
Speaker 2: actually happening. But well, some of them aren't their own countrymen,
Speaker 2: because some of them are illegal immigrants. This is what
Speaker 2: mister Trump has had to say.
Speaker 16: He's destroying one of our great states. And if they
Speaker 16: didn't get involved, if we didn't bring the guard in,
Speaker 16: and we would bring Mauren if we needed it, because
Speaker 16: we have to make sure there's going to be law
Speaker 16: in order, you had a disaster happening.
Speaker 2: So for the moment, there does not seem to be
Speaker 2: any breakthrough in what's happening on the streets of la
Speaker 2: given that we are now well after eleven o'clock at
Speaker 2: night and these clashes are continuing. Lauren to Marzi nine's reporter,
Speaker 2: and you've now would have seen the video of Lauren
Speaker 2: being shot with a rubber bullet. She has now spoken
Speaker 2: with the Prime Minister Anthony Albanezi.
Speaker 17: Well, I spoke with Lauren the small warning and she's going, okay,
Speaker 17: she's pretty resilient, I've got to say.
Speaker 18: But that footage was horrific.
Speaker 17: That was the footage of an Australian journalist doing what
Speaker 17: journalists do at their very best, at their very best,
Speaker 17: which is to go.
Speaker 18: Into an environment that's not comfortable.
Speaker 17: But where in LA it is not unreasonable to think
Speaker 17: that she would not have been targeted with a rubber bullet.
Speaker 17: It is not unreasonable to think that she could go
Speaker 17: about her coverage clearly as people can see the footage
Speaker 17: clearly identified as media. And so we have already raised
Speaker 17: these issues with the US administration. We don't find it
Speaker 17: acceptable that it occurred, and we think the role of
Speaker 17: the media is particularly important.
Speaker 7: Is that something you'll raise personally with the president.
Speaker 17: Well, discussions I have with the president, discussions between myself
Speaker 17: and the president. That's the way I deal with people, diplomatically,
Speaker 17: appropriately and with respect. So I'll leave the discussions with
Speaker 17: the President untill they occur, rather than full shadow them.
Speaker 2: The Prime Minister speaking of the National Press Club until six.
Speaker 5: This is Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard on two GB
Speaker 5: Call now one three, one eighty seven three.
Speaker 2: It's ten pasts four word on the street thanks to Temper,
Speaker 2: a great night's sleep, night after night. The difference is temper.
Speaker 2: And this is a little curious. Paul's at Central station
Speaker 2: at the moment.
Speaker 19: What do you get to tell us, Paul, Hey there, Clinton, Yeah,
Speaker 19: just just a random one. I was just at Central Station,
Speaker 19: nothing terribly important, but look the Australian flag on the
Speaker 19: quop tower there at Central Station is flying at half
Speaker 19: mass currently and I was curious as to why that
Speaker 19: probably is.
Speaker 2: So this is the flag outside Central Station, the main tower. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: we'll see if we can find out what's going on there.
Speaker 2: I'm not aware off the top of my head where
Speaker 2: the somebody of note has passed away in the past
Speaker 2: twenty four hours that would deem that we that we
Speaker 2: lower flags. Actually, my staff have just been in contact
Speaker 2: with Transport for New South Wales. Okay, now this is
Speaker 2: the answer. Oh, now the flag pole is damaged. The
Speaker 2: flagpole actually has sustained some sort of damage. They're waiting
Speaker 2: for it to be fixed. That's why the floonne is
Speaker 2: being flown. The flag is being flown at what looks
Speaker 2: like it's half masted. Is it's not actually at half
Speaker 2: master the moment because of somebody who has passed away
Speaker 2: as a sign of respect, the flagpole itself has actually
Speaker 2: been damaged. If there's something you'd like us to check out,
Speaker 2: you can always send me a text message zero fourth
Speaker 2: zero eight seven three eight seven three. We spoke a
Speaker 2: lot in the past couple of weeks about home insurance
Speaker 2: premiums in light of the floods and the natural disasters
Speaker 2: that we've experienced over the past couple of years, and
Speaker 2: it's had the effect of pushing home insurance premiums up
Speaker 2: and for many people, to completely unsustainable levels. But what
Speaker 2: about your car insurance? Have you had a look at
Speaker 2: what your car insurance premium is? Stats released by Canstar
Speaker 2: show prices have risen six percent over the past year,
Speaker 2: so inflation is now well below three percent, so it
Speaker 2: is more double the inflation rate. The average cost of
Speaker 2: comprehensive car insurance has increased by one hundred and twenty
Speaker 2: two dollars. Mature drivers now that is a driver judged
Speaker 2: to be over the age of fifty, have experienced the
Speaker 2: biggest jump in prices, by six and a half percent,
Speaker 2: so they're now paying two hundred and sixty dollars on average.
Speaker 2: But they're not paying the most. The title goes to
Speaker 2: young mail drivers, probably not a huge surprise. Those under
Speaker 2: the age of twenty five, they're facing angel premiums of
Speaker 2: three thousand dollars. The research also shows that by switching
Speaker 2: insurers you could save a bit of money. Loo'd love
Speaker 2: to hear from you about your car insurance premiums in
Speaker 2: particular one three, one, eight seventy three. Have you had
Speaker 2: to renew of late? I received mine last week by coincidences,
Speaker 2: not actually why we're raising this. And yes, it's gone
Speaker 2: up even though the value of the car has gone down.
Speaker 2: Sally Tindall is the data insights director of Cansder. Hello Sally,
Speaker 2: Hello Clinton, how are you? I'm good. The cost of
Speaker 2: car insurance is up by six percent, so that's double inflation.
Speaker 20: Yeah, it's incredible.
Speaker 21: And look it's a lot smaller rise than it was
Speaker 21: the year before the year before when we did similar quoting,
Speaker 21: it went up by thirty point five percent if you
Speaker 21: can believe that, but you probably can because you probably
Speaker 21: fell off your chair when you've got your premium at
Speaker 21: that point in time.
Speaker 20: But you know, we go, okay, well it's a lot
Speaker 20: lower than last year, but it's still adding on top
Speaker 20: of it. We're not seeing car insurance premiums go down.
Speaker 20: I don't know if we'll ever see that day. The
Speaker 20: average premiums that is thirty percent rise in twenty four
Speaker 20: and a six percent rise in twenty five. That adds
Speaker 20: to a very expensive car insurance bill if you're not
Speaker 20: shopping around.
Speaker 2: Well, that six percent is much better than previously or
Speaker 2: what it was, so that's that's encouraging. I mean, I
Speaker 2: noticed mine was the averages twelve sixty, two hundred and sixty.
Speaker 2: That's pretty much what mine came in at the other day.
Speaker 2: I mean, there are so many variables though, it's not
Speaker 2: just your age, the value of your car, where you live.
Speaker 20: Oh, absolutely, it can really add a lot to it.
Speaker 20: You know what kind of registered drivers you have on there.
Speaker 20: You know whether you've got a no claim discount, whether
Speaker 20: you've got a safe driving record. It's incredible the level
Speaker 20: of detail some insurers are asking you. I just jumped
Speaker 20: on to UI the other night just to check out
Speaker 20: their process, and they were asking me whether I used
Speaker 20: hands free with my mobile phone, how many times I
Speaker 20: might use my mobile phone in the car. Yeah, it's incredible.
Speaker 20: And if they're asking you these questions, it means that
Speaker 20: they are putting that into their matetrix to understand the
Speaker 20: risk that you pose to them as an insuranquipment.
Speaker 2: Well, could that be a good thing in that you
Speaker 2: could if you're a safe driver who has good habits
Speaker 2: behind the wheel, that you could be selling yourself as
Speaker 2: a model driver.
Speaker 20: Absolutely, and this is perhaps the future in car insurance.
Speaker 20: It's called calimatics, I'm told, or black box car insurance. Rollin'
Speaker 20: Insurance actually offers this as a feature to its customers,
Speaker 20: where you could download an app and have it running
Speaker 20: every time that you're in the car, and it can
Speaker 20: measure things like you're breaking strength or speed you're cornering.
Speaker 20: It's incredible, but and for me, I'm thinking, oh my god,
Speaker 20: I'm driving with two kids is stressful enough. But for
Speaker 20: someone that's an incredibly safe driver and won't get stressed
Speaker 20: by some that kind of app, you know, that could
Speaker 20: be a really good way to explain to the insurer
Speaker 20: that you are a low risk driver.
Speaker 2: The title for the most expensive insurance belongs to young
Speaker 2: male drivers under the age of twenty five. And look,
Speaker 2: that doesn't surprise any of us. They're probably the greatest risk.
Speaker 2: But the big increases for drivers over the age of fifty.
Speaker 2: Why do you think that's been the case?
Speaker 20: Oh look, I'm actually not sure exactly why that's going up,
Speaker 20: but I would note that their premiums actually are a
Speaker 20: lot lower than some of the others, in fact, all
Speaker 20: of the others looking down this list, so they actually
Speaker 20: have on average the cheapest premiums age people driving over fifty.
Speaker 20: But that increase has gone up this particularly and maybe
Speaker 20: there's gene you know data, you know, maybe it's been
Speaker 20: a particularly bad year for drivers over fifty. I'm not
Speaker 20: entirely sure, but at one two hundred and sixty dollars,
Speaker 20: that's actually unfortunately cheap compared to the under twenty five mails,
Speaker 20: which you said were three thousand dollars. You know, it's
Speaker 20: less than half of what the under twenty five mails
Speaker 20: are paying. And you know, as you said, no surprises there.
Speaker 2: As to wife, how can we save money?
Speaker 20: Okay, Well, first of all, I would say, compare, Compare, compare.
Speaker 20: You use your annual renewal notice not as a box
Speaker 20: to tick and flick and just pay that figure on
Speaker 20: the page, but to check if there's a cheaper deal
Speaker 20: out there. Our research shows that if someone switched from
Speaker 20: the average priced policy to a five star rated one
Speaker 20: from our site we rerate them, you could save six
Speaker 20: hundred and ninety two dollars from the average premium. That's
Speaker 20: a drop of thirty one point one percent what are
Speaker 20: savings there six hundred and ninety two dollars just by
Speaker 20: shopping around. But I would say when you are shopping
Speaker 20: around for car insurance, it's not a race for the bottom.
Speaker 20: You're not looking for the cheapest price policy you can
Speaker 20: possibly find. You actually want to get value for money.
Speaker 20: You want to have the features and the coverage just
Speaker 20: in case you do have an accident, and so it's
Speaker 20: important to read the fine print. It's important to do
Speaker 20: a good comparison. But you can also jump onto our site.
Speaker 20: We've done the hard work for you.
Speaker 1: Ie.
Speaker 20: We've gone through I'm not kidding when I say the
Speaker 20: team has gone through sixty seven thousand car insurance quotes.
Speaker 20: They do that once a year to work out what
Speaker 20: constitutes good value for money.
Speaker 2: You're right about checking what features they offer. We were
Speaker 2: caught out a couple of years ago my wife's car.
Speaker 2: We didn't have the specific extra why they need this,
Speaker 2: I don't know, but the windscreen insurance, we didn't have that,
Speaker 2: and of course the windscreen was hit by a rock
Speaker 2: and cracked. We had to have a new windscreen. Was
Speaker 2: adem expensive windscreen because it was an in new car
Speaker 2: with all the technology that's in a windscreen these days,
Speaker 2: and we lost our excess, which I think was about
Speaker 2: eight hundred dollars, so we would have been much better
Speaker 2: off paying on another twenty five dollars extra for windscreening.
Speaker 20: Current insurance, It's insurance is one of those things where
Speaker 20: it's like, oh, cut a shuit of water when it
Speaker 20: comes to making a claim. And you know, people always
Speaker 20: feel like they're not getting value for money when they're
Speaker 20: not claiming, But as soon as you need to make
Speaker 20: a claim, you'll want that extra insurance. So it's really
Speaker 20: important to look at things like your excess so you
Speaker 20: can One way to save money is to increase your excess,
Speaker 20: but you've got to understand the risk that you're taking
Speaker 20: on by doing that. So for example, I did a
Speaker 20: test on a Toyota Camri twenty sixteen model and I
Speaker 20: found that if I increased my excess from one thousand
Speaker 20: dollars to two thousand dollars, it reduced the annual premium
Speaker 20: by ninety six dollars. Well, that's a great saving if
Speaker 20: you don't need to claim on the excess, but if
Speaker 20: you do in that given year, you're up for an
Speaker 20: extra thousand dollars. So it's you know, it's really.
Speaker 4: A toss up.
Speaker 20: It's a difficult decision for people to make. But if
Speaker 20: you are looking at you know, quitting comprehensive car insurance
Speaker 20: all together and going to third party property or just
Speaker 20: you know, a third party person, which is compulsory obviously,
Speaker 20: then it's absolutely worth looking at things like your excess
Speaker 20: in addition to shopping around to see if you can
Speaker 20: keep that cover.
Speaker 2: Yeah, have so many variables to look at. Thank you Sally,
Speaker 2: Thanks Clinton, Sarry Tymdall from Canstar. So it's not straightforward
Speaker 2: these days because there are so many optional extras as well,
Speaker 2: But the message from Sally is shop around. A Sydney
Speaker 2: school student has won a payout of two hundred and
Speaker 2: seventy six thousand dollars in damage after an incident in
Speaker 2: a sand pit several years ago. It occurred during long
Speaker 2: jumping training at the Neutral Bay Public School. This was
Speaker 2: six years ago. This is twenty nineteen. The child at
Speaker 2: the time was eleven. Sustained injuries after doing the long
Speaker 2: exercise in the sandpit. But the boys landed on the
Speaker 2: sand and has hit something hard below the sand. There's
Speaker 2: something really hit him, causing a significant pain in his back.
Speaker 2: Now this has been before the courts for years and years.
Speaker 2: Well the Court of the Appeal Court has ruled in
Speaker 2: favor of the student and as a result, the New
Speaker 2: South Wales government will have to pay two hundred and
Speaker 2: seventy six thousand dollars in compensation. Twenty four past four.
Speaker 2: I'll come to your cause about insurance in just a moment.
Speaker 2: But I was talking just before the news about the
Speaker 2: technology that's used in Europe where speed can be limited
Speaker 2: in cars based on the cameras that a lot of
Speaker 2: modern cars have now that can read speed signs. Now
Speaker 2: VW today is confirmed they're not going to introduce that
Speaker 2: technology in their new golf on the Australian market because
Speaker 2: they've found that based on what other manufacturers of experience,
Speaker 2: it's not that reliable. Sometimes the car will read the
Speaker 2: wrong speed. And Daniel makes that point in the text line.
Speaker 2: I also have an Iusumux which is what we have.
Speaker 2: I've actually disabled that feature because you go through a
Speaker 2: school zone, it will tell you it should be doing
Speaker 2: forty even when you're outside the school hours. So it's
Speaker 2: not feel proof yet and it just concerns me the
Speaker 2: one day governments are going to use this technology to
Speaker 2: have more control over your car. One three one eight
Speaker 2: seven three is our number talking car insurance up more
Speaker 2: than six percent in the last year. Oh Steve, Oh
Speaker 2: glare Lynn, How are you good, buddy?
Speaker 4: Okay, it's just a couple of things, Okay. Firstly, car insurance,
Speaker 4: it goes up while the value of your car goes down.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 4: And then you have house insurance. Most house values go
Speaker 4: up and insurance goes up, even though I don't like
Speaker 4: paying it. But there's there's a real issue there when
Speaker 4: something goes down in value, yet the price goes up
Speaker 4: in value. So the payouts clearly across the board have
Speaker 4: to be the profit has to be more for those
Speaker 4: insurers than anyone else. And the other thing that staggers me.
Speaker 4: I've got six windows on my car. Five of them
Speaker 4: are covered by insurance and the other one is it
Speaker 4: not part.
Speaker 2: Of the car and is mind blowing? Yeah, look, this
Speaker 2: frustrated me.
Speaker 6: No end.
Speaker 2: A couple of years ago, when the wind screen of
Speaker 2: my wife's new cars she is driving on the M
Speaker 2: one just had a little stone flick. She didn't even
Speaker 2: notice it until she arrived at her destination. The windscreen
Speaker 2: cost twelve hundred dollars to replace, so we took up
Speaker 2: the excess. We had an eight hundred dollars excess because
Speaker 2: we didn't have the special wind screen insurance. Why is
Speaker 2: the wind screen different to your backwindow exactly?
Speaker 4: And we just all accepted it as we have ridiculous
Speaker 4: cycle or fuel. We just accept these things. Unfortunately, I
Speaker 4: don't know what you do about it, but yeah, I
Speaker 4: think they're valid points.
Speaker 2: I'm with you, Steve, Thank you. Mate. On the text line,
Speaker 2: Emma says, we have a towing business in the Hills
Speaker 2: area of Sydney. We are finding a lot of people
Speaker 2: are not insured. They only have third party people are
Speaker 2: canceling their comprehensive insurance due to the cost. Michael says, Mate.
Speaker 2: Most of the people that I know are now driving
Speaker 2: without insurance. They simply can't afford it. That's what they're
Speaker 2: now doing. Let's talk to BEPO in Pensers. Hello, Beppo,
Speaker 2: what's your insurance premium?
Speaker 4: Like my insurpak meal is cheap by this year?
Speaker 22: Sixteen cents.
Speaker 2: Yeah, your insurance has gone down by sixteen cents exactly.
Speaker 2: You're probably find your car's not worth as much as
Speaker 2: it used to be.
Speaker 4: Now that the car was the show of last year.
Speaker 22: Five two hundred d ye executive say two hundred.
Speaker 2: And you've saved sixteen cents. Well, hallelujah for the insurance company.
Speaker 2: From one of our listeners, I'll just read you this message.

Speaker 8: At Clinton, Good afternoon, LA police have confirmed they're investigating
Speaker 8: after nine reporter Lauren Tamazi was hit by a rubber
Speaker 8: bullet while covering immigration raid protests. Prime Minister Anthony Albanesi
Speaker 8: has condemned the incident. The father of a teenager killed
Speaker 8: in a crash at Buxton is pleading for a plaque
Speaker 8: remembering her and four others to be returned. The plaques
Speaker 8: were on benches installed in memory of the five teens
Speaker 8: killed in the September twenty twenty two crash. Aaron Patterson
Speaker 8: has denied she was worried about getting caught when medical
Speaker 8: staff raised concerns about death cap mushroom poisoning, and a
Speaker 8: new test to screen for SILLYAC disease is being develop
Speaker 8: in Australia. It doesn't require patients to eat gluten beforehand,
Speaker 8: meaning less pain and a faster diagnosis. In sport, the
Speaker 8: twenty twenty six Formula One season will open at Melbourne's

Speaker 2: Money News tonight from seven o'clock. Cortus has issued an
Speaker 2: apology after a flight from the UK to Singapore and
Speaker 2: was then going to fly to Australia made a diversion
Speaker 2: to azerba Jahn. A passenger on board suffered a cardiac emergency.
Speaker 2: Quotas says the flight was diverted to Baku in azerbad
Speaker 2: Jahan due to medical incident on board. The plane land
Speaker 2: at the airport there, which is between Russia and Iran,
Speaker 2: and so the passengers were obviously concerned about the location.
Speaker 2: Although the back of your Grand Prix is actually quite
Speaker 2: quite popular these days, Quartas says, we apologize to customers
Speaker 2: for the disruption. We're working to get them on their
Speaker 2: way to Singapore as soon as possible. They had to
Speaker 2: spend the.
Speaker 1: Night there until six.
Speaker 5: This is Sydney now with Clinton Maynard on two GB
Speaker 5: You call now one three one ay seventy three.
Speaker 2: On insurance cost Lars says, my third party property for
Speaker 2: the car went up from one hundred and forty two
Speaker 2: to three hundred and twelve. That does not look like
Speaker 2: six percent? Well, how do you explain that? So it's
Speaker 2: more than doubled? Mary? Did your insurance policy go up? Mary?
Speaker 23: Yes?
Speaker 24: Mine?
Speaker 20: How are you?
Speaker 2: I'm good?
Speaker 25: My insurance policy increased.
Speaker 4: Five one cent?
Speaker 2: Why do they bother?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 25: I couldn't believe it when I got the email, I
Speaker 25: hang on that has it not.
Speaker 4: Changed then that one cent?
Speaker 2: Did the value of your vehicle go down?
Speaker 16: Now?
Speaker 1: Stayed the same?
Speaker 4: Maybe that's what?
Speaker 2: Okay, thanks Mary. Dennis is in carrying. But hello, Dennis, hi.
Speaker 22: Quentin, how are you good?
Speaker 2: Dennis good?
Speaker 22: I'd just writtenly purchased a b Why do shark?
Speaker 25: Yeah?
Speaker 2: The big new Duke cabut Yeah, the new.
Speaker 22: Duke cabs Yeah, hybrid vergles great to the next level.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they've had massive pre orders for them as
Speaker 2: well before they went on the market.
Speaker 22: I was on a waiting list, but I got upgraded
Speaker 22: to the top. It's because someone careful, because they finance
Speaker 22: all through.
Speaker 2: What's the insurance?
Speaker 18: Like?
Speaker 22: Really good three thousand books.
Speaker 2: Now, so it's not not achieved vehicle. They're about probably
Speaker 2: what's seventy k on the road, sixty five YenS insure
Speaker 2: as well three thousand dollars.
Speaker 22: Three thousand bucks. Yeah, I think it may be because
Speaker 22: of the batteries. I don't know. I'm not too I
Speaker 22: don't know a lot about electric verticals, but maybe to
Speaker 22: see replacement of course for the batteries.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that could be the case. And I think
Speaker 2: with electric vehicles, we know that because they've only been
Speaker 2: on the market for a relatively short amount of time,
Speaker 2: we still don't have a lot of information about their
Speaker 2: their longer term repair costs. Does sound like you've got
Speaker 2: a good vehicle there. The BYD Shark gets some pretty
Speaker 2: good reports, Thank you, Dennis. I'm just looking at some
Speaker 2: more vision courtesy of nine coming in live from LA.
Speaker 2: And it's now just gone eleven thirty in LA and
Speaker 2: there are still there are cars being set alight major
Speaker 2: intersections in the middle of downtown LA. It is quite frightening.
Speaker 2: Another journalist has become caught up in the LA riots
Speaker 2: and has been injured. The ABC's North America correspondent, Lauren
Speaker 2: Day has been hurt. She was caught up in tear
Speaker 2: gas that was deployed by the LAPD. They were trying
Speaker 2: to disperse the crowd around Little Tokyo in la Now
Speaker 2: that's just come after our own Lauren Tamasi was shot
Speaker 2: in the leg with a rubber bullet. The government in
Speaker 2: the United States, the US government has actually released a
Speaker 2: protest released a statement saying they are investigating these incidents.
Speaker 2: They are being investigated by the LAPD. Lauren Day herself
Speaker 2: has released a statement. She says, in a sign of
Speaker 2: just how quickly things can escalate after a long standoff processes,
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, we heard large bangs and the
Speaker 2: crowd started running. I then felt the unmistakable burn of
Speaker 2: tear gas, first in my eyes, then in my nose, lips,
Speaker 2: and throat. It really stings your entire face. It makes
Speaker 2: it difficult to breathe until the point you almost want
Speaker 2: to throw up. Look, this is the reality when reporters
Speaker 2: are reporting from the front line. That's it does come
Speaker 2: with the territory to a point. Now, I think it's
Speaker 2: pretty clear that the reporters themselves have not been targeted,
Speaker 2: but because they're in the middle of reporting on this volatile,
Speaker 2: unfolding situation, they are finding themselves subject to this And
Speaker 2: the reality is there's probably going to be more in
Speaker 2: the next couple of days on Sydney.
Speaker 1: Now you can't handle the truth, the straight shoot.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's our political straight shooters or a Tuesday afternoon
Speaker 2: joining me as they do every Tuesday afternoon. The outgoing
Speaker 2: Liberal Center in New South Wales, Polly Hughes and the
Speaker 2: Labor member for mcquarie, Susan Tedman. Hello, Susan, Hello, Holly, Hellolank.
Speaker 2: I think we can be both very grateful that we
Speaker 2: are on this side of the world at the moment.
Speaker 19: I think so.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 25: Well, I was a foreign correspondent in the United States
Speaker 25: back in the eighties and this is not something that
Speaker 25: you ever want to see happen to journals who are
Speaker 25: just out doing their job trying to bring the news,
Speaker 25: especially on radio and TV as it's happening.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, thanks, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 2: Now today I want to discuss this one with the
Speaker 2: both of you, the idea that private school fees could
Speaker 2: be tax deductible. The South Australian senator, she's a Liberal Senate,
Speaker 2: Lea Bly. This has appeared on My Colleagues program on
Speaker 2: three outw Tom Elliot's program. She says if there was
Speaker 2: a tax deduction, this would level out the playing field
Speaker 2: for parents. This is lea Bly.
Speaker 23: It's important to note that even the most elite private
Speaker 23: institutions do receive a significant amount of public funding every year,
Speaker 23: and the net effect for those parents is they're contributing
Speaker 23: essentially twice because they're not only paying school fees, but
Speaker 23: they're also contributing to the public systems through general taxation.
Speaker 23: What we can look at doing is evening out that
Speaker 23: playing field, but also looking at how we are funding
Speaker 23: public schools. I think it's fair to say education standards
Speaker 23: have been dropping, particularly in our public schools across our
Speaker 23: nation for decades, and we've got to do something to
Speaker 23: make sure that we aren't leaving any children behind.
Speaker 2: Okay, tax deductible private school fees. I'll start with the
Speaker 2: government's perspective first, Susan, what do you think now?
Speaker 25: It's not something that I would even consider looking at,
Speaker 25: and it's a bit rich coming from someone who's government
Speaker 25: presided over appalling funding of especially public schools by ignoring
Speaker 25: the hohl Gonsky reforms. We've got a system now, it
Speaker 25: only got signed earlier this year, so that every child
Speaker 25: in every school across the country where they are public
Speaker 25: Catholic Independent is going to receive funding that is based
Speaker 25: on their needs. Now, yes we've got problems, that's because
Speaker 25: schools have been poorly funded by the previous government. So
Speaker 25: I think, you know, let's stop looking for solutions to
Speaker 25: something that isn't the problem. Let's get to the root
Speaker 25: of the problem, which is what we did in doing
Speaker 25: fair funding to schools, and now let's give that an
Speaker 25: opportunity to flow through. Our agreement in New South Wales
Speaker 25: is a ten year agreement and that's the same with
Speaker 25: all the public schools, So we will have a really
Speaker 25: good idea in coming years to see the effect that
Speaker 25: it has. But these sorts of this kind of policy
Speaker 25: on the run, you know, it's like the liberals have said, hey, guys,
Speaker 25: any ideas, anything at all, don't hold back, throw it in.
Speaker 2: Is fromly the time to do it, though, This is
Speaker 2: probably the time to put big ideas and even radical
Speaker 2: ideas out there. Holly, do you think, look, you can
Speaker 2: speak your mind these days, do you think it would
Speaker 2: be a good idea?
Speaker 26: Look the policy itself as you actually listen to more
Speaker 26: of the interview and then read some of the reporting
Speaker 26: about it, It wasn't just you're just talking about tax
Speaker 26: deductibility of private school fees.
Speaker 18: She was talking about looking.
Speaker 26: At income splitting for families that have a better and
Speaker 26: fairer potential tax implications for families, particularly those that have
Speaker 26: a parent at home or a parent at home more
Speaker 26: so looking after children. I am pleased there's policy debate
Speaker 26: going on. Peter duart't ran a very united team, but
Speaker 26: I can't say it was a team that there was
Speaker 26: a lot of robust debate around policy, and I think
Speaker 26: that was reflected in the election result. I think you're
Speaker 26: exactly right now we is the time to have the debate.
Speaker 26: I think our tax system is fundamentally broken across many
Speaker 26: many areas the continual increase of our alliance on income tax.
Speaker 26: This is a government who wants to now tax you
Speaker 26: when you haven't even made the money on their unrealized gains.
Speaker 26: So every should be on the agenda. What is actually
Speaker 26: important through this process is that Jim Tarmers doesn't get
Speaker 26: carried away. And see the thirty percent of the Australian
Speaker 26: people that voted for Labor, Yes it was an emphatic win,
Speaker 26: was not the majority of Australians who voted for them,
Speaker 26: and doesn't take that as a sign that everything he
Speaker 26: says is some sort of messianic declaration. I would actually
Speaker 26: like to see big boy pants and big girl pants
Speaker 26: go on and a courageous discussion between the two parties
Speaker 26: of government about serious tax reform, because this country, if
Speaker 26: we're going to boost productivity, if we're going to actually
Speaker 26: get ourselves back on a footing where we're not just
Speaker 26: constantly staring down one point two trillion million dollars worth
Speaker 26: of debt, we need proper tax reform in this country.
Speaker 2: Is there, well, Susan, is there a desire in the
Speaker 2: in the Labor party room now that you do have
Speaker 2: such a big majority, Is there a desire for more
Speaker 2: radical policy, for policy that maybe may not have been
Speaker 2: popular pride of the election.
Speaker 5: Oh.
Speaker 25: The Prime Minister spoke at the Press Club today and
Speaker 25: made it very clear we are going to do the
Speaker 25: things we said we do. Let's start with those, let's
Speaker 25: continually evolve policy, looks for good ideas, explore new ideas,
Speaker 25: but our priority is delivering the things we said we would.
Speaker 25: And you know, one of the things that he announced
Speaker 25: today was a gathering, as he called it, in Canberra
Speaker 25: to discuss productivity a bit like we had the Jobs
Speaker 25: and Skills Summit three years ago to really kick start
Speaker 25: how we tackle complex issues that.
Speaker 4: We'd inherit it.
Speaker 25: And now we know productivity has got to be the focus.
Speaker 25: So that's the sort of evolutionary initiative that you're going
Speaker 25: to see to keep doing the things.
Speaker 4: That we've started.
Speaker 25: You know, we've just started. We know we've got a
Speaker 25: lot more to do. And it won't be just grabbing
Speaker 25: any grab bag of ideas that someone might throw.
Speaker 2: Up now talking about productivity. Holy you visited a Sydney
Speaker 2: factory this morning.
Speaker 26: Look, I did, and I wanted how to look at
Speaker 26: this space. So this is around sort of Alexandria Zeppeland
Speaker 26: area of Sydney. And this is off the back of
Speaker 26: reports in South Australia that there are now supporting the
Speaker 26: Upper House there for the government to just determine that
Speaker 26: you are having inappropriate land usage, so they will just
Speaker 26: take it, not compulsorily, wire not paid for it, just
Speaker 26: take it. I mean it's effectively a form of communism.
Speaker 26: But we hear governments talk about affordable housing, housing crisis,
Speaker 26: the need for more houses. Clover Moore is I got
Speaker 26: to get out of town hallmore because what I saw
Speaker 26: today was an area that she still thinks is a
Speaker 26: manufacturing area. And the reality is these businesses, these buildings
Speaker 26: are in effect either wearehouses so there's no jobs, non employment,
Speaker 26: or they are completely empty and unused.
Speaker 1: But when you go to.
Speaker 26: The bayside side of the road, if you go sort
Speaker 26: of gardeners rode down towards the airport in Mascot. If
Speaker 26: you go to the Bayside Council out side of the road,
Speaker 26: there is apartment buildings that are built there with businesses
Speaker 26: thriving underneath them. Yet five six hundred meters down the
Speaker 26: road walk from Mascot train station where it becomes Sydney
Speaker 26: City Council, it is absolutely derelict. There are buildings, warehouses,
Speaker 26: factories that have long since moved their operations into other
Speaker 26: areas that are absolutely underutilized. Could be used to create
Speaker 26: housing that is so desperately needed. Yet we are still
Speaker 26: hearing from the men's government. I mean, we don't know
Speaker 26: what the hat's doing. They haven't built a house. So
Speaker 26: if everyone is serious about this housing situation, Paramata Road
Speaker 26: is a disgrace. Every single one of those stores is
Speaker 26: pretty much empty.
Speaker 2: And has been for decades and decades. Susan The Prime
Speaker 2: Minister actually was asked about housing today at the National
Speaker 2: Press Club address and he said regulation is actually a
Speaker 2: big part of it, reducing the red tape, and he
Speaker 2: praised Chris Mins for showing initiative on the rose Hill
Speaker 2: deal even though it didn't go through. But do you
Speaker 2: think the problem lies he with local councils.
Speaker 25: I definitely think that there's challenges with councils. At the
Speaker 25: same time, I know councils feel that they represent their
Speaker 25: rate payers and should have a say. But you know,
Speaker 25: if there are places that are sitting there empty, needing
Speaker 25: to be reused and repurposed, then that's why we have
Speaker 25: a planning Ministry in New South Wales, Paul Scully, who
Speaker 25: I'm sure is open to many conversations to explore where
Speaker 25: there might be, just like they did with rose Hill.
Speaker 25: And I think the point was made both by the
Speaker 25: Prime Minister and Housing Minister Claire O'Neill that it does
Speaker 25: take courage to do those things and put those ideas
Speaker 25: out there. Not all of them will be successful, but
Speaker 25: we are at it's urgent. This is not something we
Speaker 25: can sit back and go, oh, we've got tons of time.
Speaker 25: We need housing yesterday, and you know that will do
Speaker 25: our bit. But a lot of it's going to come
Speaker 25: down to the State government being bold, and that means
Speaker 25: counsels really do need to come along with that and
Speaker 25: look for the best possible outcomes. I know people don't
Speaker 25: like change in their communities, but I note that Karingay
Speaker 25: has come up with some really good plans. But from
Speaker 25: what I've seen in the paper to meet the housing
Speaker 25: targets that were set for inch not necessarily the way
Speaker 25: the state government have originally intended. So I hope those
Speaker 25: sorts of processes work their way through pretty quickly, because
Speaker 25: oh my goodness, we need we.
Speaker 2: Need bold ideas, We certainly need bodies. I just about
Speaker 2: to wrap up almost out of some time here, but
Speaker 2: you're in your way to Canberra SEUSAN for new MP orientations,
Speaker 2: so you'd be hoping hosting some of the new members
Speaker 2: of Parliament. It's got any best or worst first day
Speaker 2: on the job story for us?
Speaker 25: Well, I have to tell you the twenty seventh of
Speaker 25: July in twenty sixteen was a fantastic first day on
Speaker 25: the job when I was declared as an MP and
Speaker 25: I got the keys to the office, and I then
Speaker 25: got shown round the office by the property people who
Speaker 25: handed over keys, and at the end of it, I said, oh,
Speaker 25: I must have missed the bathroom. Is there a door
Speaker 25: I missed? And they looked at me and said, no,
Speaker 25: there is no bathroom. If you need to go the toilet,
Speaker 25: there's a shopping center up the road around the corner,
Speaker 25: and that's where you go. So it took the chine
Speaker 25: off a bit. My poor staff, who will spent much
Speaker 25: more time in the office than I do, had had
Speaker 25: to suffer that. But I'm pleased to say I did
Speaker 25: from a worker health and safety perspective. We did end
Speaker 25: up eventually in a new office and they have a bathroom.
Speaker 2: Holly, have you got a first down the job story
Speaker 2: for me?
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 26: I'm looking forward now, Clinton. I don't know what the
Speaker 26: next first day on the job's going to look like.
Speaker 2: I'll be looking for the job.
Speaker 26: But I don't actually have a story that I can
Speaker 26: think of. But you know it has any great resonance.
Speaker 25: I mean it was.
Speaker 26: I do remember being headhunted for a job in my
Speaker 26: early twenties and they kept offering me more money, and
Speaker 26: I remember doing turning up on the first day. It
Speaker 26: wasn't even really one hundred percent sure what they wanted
Speaker 26: me to do. But that was back at a time
Speaker 26: where things were very, very different in the corporate arena.
Speaker 26: But Susan, oh my god, no toilet, I got to say,
Speaker 26: having dealt with the Department of Finance, I won't miss
Speaker 26: that and it doesn't surprise me.
Speaker 2: It's the least we can do. That is straight shooters
Speaker 2: for a Tuesday. Thank you, Susan, Thank you, Holly, thank
Speaker 2: you Straight shooters every Tuesday afternoon. My first day on
Speaker 2: the job at the radio station. You know what I
Speaker 2: honestly did the first time the job. I spent the
Speaker 2: whole day with Murray Old's who was driving me around Sydney.
Speaker 2: It's three to five on insurance premiums Adam on the
Speaker 2: text line says, I just received my comprehensive mode of
Speaker 2: policy renewal the insurance. For some the insurance reduced the
Speaker 2: sun to eight thousand dollars. Now it reduced to buy
Speaker 2: eight thousand dollars in one year. The premium, though, went
Speaker 2: up from one hundred and eighty six dollars per month
Speaker 2: to four hundred and sixty eight per month, so I
Speaker 2: changed insurers. Yes, I did spend an entire day. My
Speaker 2: first day at the radio station was with Marie Old's.
Speaker 2: John says, Look, it could have been worse. You could
Speaker 2: have been spending with John Stanley.
Speaker 1: I don't feel like doing anything. I just want a map.
Speaker 2: Did you hear about the survey released today that shows
Speaker 2: seven out of ten Australians calling sick seventy percent? I
Speaker 2: actually thought it would have been higher than that. The
Speaker 2: habit costs business seven point three billion dollars per year.
Speaker 2: It adds up to twenty four point six million days
Speaker 2: off every year. Now if you don't count mental health days.
Speaker 2: Sixty eight percent of Australians say they have faked being sick.
Speaker 2: The number one reason why they fake being sick apparently
Speaker 2: it's because of a lack of sleep. Lack of sleep
Speaker 2: the next reason because they want to relax and recharge.
Speaker 2: Twenty seven percent say they actually want a mental health day.
Speaker 1: No matter what happened to Norman, be called then sick?
Speaker 2: How about this? Work from home is a big debate
Speaker 2: in the UK as well as it is here. A
Speaker 2: former UK police officer has been banned for life from
Speaker 2: working in law enforcement. He has been found to have
Speaker 2: faked one hundred hours of work. There was a misconduct
Speaker 2: panel review into the work of p C Liam Reex
Speaker 2: between June and September of last year. Mister Rex wait
Speaker 2: for this, deliberately held down keys on his laptop at
Speaker 2: regular intervals to prove that he's actually working. The former
Speaker 2: officer admitted to opening a blank word document on his
Speaker 2: laptop and holding down the Z character on his keyboard
Speaker 2: for expended lengths of time. Stunning the lengths people will
Speaker 2: go to.
Speaker 1: This is Sydney now with Clinton on t.
Speaker 2: GB one three one eight seven three. Good now have
Speaker 2: your company this Tuesday afternoon, the sun going down across Sydney.
Speaker 2: The good news is we have no reports of significant
Speaker 2: delays on the train network. I know that's a stunning
Speaker 2: development because usually at this time the trains are absolutely stuffed.
Speaker 2: But no, the trains are actually running. And tomorrow in
Speaker 2: the Fair Work Commission there will be a Directions hearing
Speaker 2: to again try to resolve the ongoing industrial dispute the
Speaker 2: combined rail unions. And we brought you this news with
Speaker 2: John Graham would have been little more than a week ago.
Speaker 2: Apparently agreed to a new payoffer with the state government
Speaker 2: to end industrial action once and for all world for
Speaker 2: at least the next three years. The problem is the
Speaker 2: ETU is holding out. The RTBU represents more than eight
Speaker 2: thousand workers, the ETU eight hundred workers and they're now
Speaker 2: stopping this actually going ahead. So what's going to happen tomorrow?
Speaker 2: The government, and they have the support of the RTBU,
Speaker 2: is going to seek some orders from the Fair Work Commission,
Speaker 2: whereby they they want the Commission to say to the
Speaker 2: union's management, you know what, put it to a vote
Speaker 2: of your members. Let the members decide democratically, and what
Speaker 2: will happen is obvious. The RTBU has more members than
Speaker 2: the ETU, so this deal will actually go through. But
Speaker 2: at the moment it is the ETU that's holding all
Speaker 2: of this up. Eight past five monash IVF has been
Speaker 2: in the headlines today because they have admitted they transferred
Speaker 2: the wrong embryo into a Melbourne woman. This is the
Speaker 2: second incident that this company has been involved in in
Speaker 2: just two months. They released a statement to the stock
Speaker 2: market today the ASX and they revealed it had mistakenly
Speaker 2: transferred a patient's own embryo to her during a process
Speaker 2: in which she was supposed to receive an embryo from
Speaker 2: her partner as they sought to extend their family. Now,
Speaker 2: two months ago, Monash IVF was forced to admit an
Speaker 2: embryo mix up at its Brisbane clinic that resulted in
Speaker 2: a Queensland woman giving birth to a stranger's baby, quite horrifying.
Speaker 2: In the ASX statement today, Monash said the incident at
Speaker 2: the Clayton Premises on the fifth of June was under
Speaker 2: investigation and they apologized to the couple involved.
Speaker 1: If it matters to you, then you'll hear it here
Speaker 1: Sydney now witho Quinton Maynard until Seid.
Speaker 2: The Prime Minister today has delivered his first major speech
Speaker 2: since winning the election here before the National Press Club.
Speaker 2: I should also point out that Susan Lee will make
Speaker 2: an announcement and make a speech to the National Press
Speaker 2: Club later this month. Now. He spoke about many issues,
Speaker 2: effectively setting the agenda for the next term in Parliament. Now,
Speaker 2: most of the topics that he touched on were issues
Speaker 2: that were debated and discussed during the election campaign. But
Speaker 2: he was asked about defense spending. The United States wants
Speaker 2: to straying to increase our defense spending to three point
Speaker 2: five percent of GDP, But the Prime Minister said is
Speaker 2: he's not going to put a number on it.
Speaker 17: Well, I think that Australia should decide what we spend
Speaker 17: on Australia's defense, simple as that.
Speaker 18: That's my view.
Speaker 17: Now if others think that that's not the case, then
Speaker 17: it's up to them to make that case. Angus Houston's
Speaker 17: been a friend of mine for a very long period
Speaker 17: of time and I always pay attention to anything that
Speaker 17: Angus Houston has to say. But I've made it very
Speaker 17: clear we will support the capability that Australia needs.
Speaker 2: So the Prime Minister saysse spending will be on specific
Speaker 2: so we need three more ships for the Navy, or
Speaker 2: we need x number of helicopters or jets. He was
Speaker 2: also asked about the commitment to build one point two
Speaker 2: million houses in the country and there are guidelines that
Speaker 2: the state governments need to meet across the country to
Speaker 2: effectively solve the housing crisis. He said much of this
Speaker 2: has to do with red tape and he's committed to
Speaker 2: reducing bureaucracy, but a lot of that bureaucracy is about
Speaker 2: state governments and local counts. He did praise Chris Mins
Speaker 2: for his position on selling off Rosial race course.
Speaker 1: He was right.
Speaker 18: He was absolutely right.
Speaker 17: In putting forward something that was controversial and in the
Speaker 17: end people knocked back in spite of the factor had
Speaker 17: the support of the leadership of the racing industry.
Speaker 18: But that's the sort of thing that we're going to
Speaker 18: need to do.
Speaker 17: You can't deal with supply issues without having the courage
Speaker 17: to do things like that.
Speaker 2: So Albo agrees with Chris Minns that we need bold ideas.
Speaker 2: So why is it when David Elliott raised on this
Speaker 2: program for the first time in about a decade, the
Speaker 2: idea of selling off the jail Long Bay jail, redeveloping
Speaker 2: that prime land around Little Bay. Why isn't government willing
Speaker 2: to pick up that Now? It can't be because of transport,
Speaker 2: because there is a transport link that is not far away,
Speaker 2: the light rail. The light rail could be effectively extendard.
Speaker 2: It would be cost efficient given how much that land
Speaker 2: would be worth. Now, that wouldn't solve the housing affordability
Speaker 2: crisis because it's not going to be cheap housing, but
Speaker 2: it would have an effect on the overall market. But
Speaker 2: it doesn't seem that anyone's really keen on the idea.
Speaker 5: Be a part of Sydney Now with Clinton. Maynard called
Speaker 5: one three one eight seventy three.
Speaker 2: Tax time is almost here and that means scammers are
Speaker 2: also active. CPA Australia's warning us to watch our inbox.
Speaker 2: They're actually warning us to watch out for scams early
Speaker 2: in the morning, so before you have a cup of coffee,
Speaker 2: before you have your breakfast, when you may be half awake.
Speaker 2: ATO logos official wording. They're being used on an increasing
Speaker 2: number of scam messages, even messages such as you have
Speaker 2: a new refund notification about this? How about this? Phishing
Speaker 2: scams have cost Australians more than thirteen million dollars so
Speaker 2: far this year, and that's triple what it was at
Speaker 2: this time last year. Jenny Wong is CPA Australia's tax
Speaker 2: lead and joins us thank you for your.
Speaker 10: Time, Jenny, ty Clinton, thanks for having me.
Speaker 2: It seems that the scam is a pit to a
Speaker 2: killy active this year. Is that because simply we're a
Speaker 2: couple of weeks out from the end of the financial year.
Speaker 10: Yes, that's right, and I think every Australian adult it's
Speaker 10: likely to see some scam emails or SMS a lead
Speaker 10: up to tax time, and scammers trick you into paying
Speaker 10: money or giving out their personal information. So it's a
Speaker 10: major problem and it's getting worse.
Speaker 2: Now. You've identified the problem today as being early morning.
Speaker 2: Why are they targeting us in the morning?
Speaker 13: Oh?
Speaker 10: Look, scammers are very clever. They take advantage of any situation,
Speaker 10: and at tax time they targeting individuals through unsubserved messages
Speaker 10: claiming they're from the ATA or other organizations. They often
Speaker 10: arrive early in the morning because you may be more
Speaker 10: likely to have a momentarily laps in judgment or you're
Speaker 10: still waking up, so scammers have that in mind and
Speaker 10: they act on that vulnerability.
Speaker 2: I also wonder whether a lot of it has to
Speaker 2: do with the fact that the scammers may not even
Speaker 2: be based in our country, that they're based in overseas,
Speaker 2: perhaps Russia or somewhere over there, and these emails are
Speaker 2: sent out in bulk in the millions around the world.
Speaker 10: Yes, that could be true as well.
Speaker 2: Yes, what tips do you have for us to look
Speaker 2: out for?
Speaker 10: There are a couple of things that you need to
Speaker 10: look out for. So it's actually getting harder to distinguish
Speaker 10: what's a legitimate scam.
Speaker 6: Versus what's real.
Speaker 10: But look out for grammatical errors, so anything that's unusual
Speaker 10: language American English spellings using z's instead of s's. For example,
Speaker 10: ATO doesn't use ciple links in their unsolicited SMS messages,
Speaker 10: So you see links in an unsolicited SMS or qr
Speaker 10: COO coming from the ATO, treat it as a scam.
Speaker 10: Can always check the sender's address. Anything unusual as a
Speaker 10: red flag, So even if the address includes ATO or
Speaker 10: Australian Tax Office, look for subtle anomalies like using a
Speaker 10: number or adding extra letters, that sort of thing. So
Speaker 10: just be wary of those things.
Speaker 2: And then even posts we're talking up leading up to
Speaker 2: the end of the financial year, but I expect at
Speaker 2: the start of the new financial year when many people
Speaker 2: are then put in their returns and they may be
Speaker 2: expecting a refund and the ATO actually turns around their
Speaker 2: refunds fairly quickly for a lot of people these days,
Speaker 2: that also going to be a danger time.
Speaker 10: Yes, generally if you lodge online it might be like
Speaker 10: a two week turn of our time. But if you lodge, yeah,
Speaker 10: if you're expecting a refund, that's also a dangerous time
Speaker 10: as well.
Speaker 2: Because you can be offered money that you think is
Speaker 2: legitimately yours. Thank you for your time, Jenny, No, thank
Speaker 2: you very much, Jenny Wong from CPA Australia. They represent
Speaker 2: the accountant. So that the tip is if you bleary
Speaker 2: eyed and you're not thinking straight, maybe it's not the
Speaker 2: best time to actually check your emails.
Speaker 5: You want to know what's happening in Sydney, stay tuned
Speaker 5: to Sydney Now with Clinton on to gb.
Speaker 2: Almost sixty thousand people at a course stadium for the Bulldog's
Speaker 2: victory over the Paramatta Eels last night, and we'll be
Speaker 2: talking to Mark Guyer after the five thirty news. And
Speaker 2: boy didn't they have fun on the streets of Belmore
Speaker 2: last night. They were shouting and banging the drums and
Speaker 2: singing who let the dogs out? At one point? But
Speaker 2: you'll see the vision on nine Yews tonight as well.
Speaker 2: I shouldn't laugh. They were doing burnouts and they were
Speaker 2: creating so much smoke with the burnouts they set off
Speaker 2: smoke alarms and the fire Brigade had to come out. Look,
Speaker 2: I think it's fantastic that the bulldogs. I'm not a
Speaker 2: bulldog supporter, it's fantastic. The Bulldogs are having a great
Speaker 2: year and it's wonderful that they go out to Belmore
Speaker 2: and they bang on their drums and they're having a
Speaker 2: wonderful time. But if you don't want the police to
Speaker 2: turn up, and you don't want the alarms to start sounding,
Speaker 2: maybe don't do any more burnouts. If you are traveling
Speaker 2: via the motorways to go and see Katy Perry tonight,
Speaker 2: it's her final show at keutors Bank Arena. But what
Speaker 2: about the Shenanigans A last night there was one of
Speaker 2: the fans, as you've probably seen the video by now,
Speaker 2: jumped up on stage. Well, Katie's there with a guitar
Speaker 2: strummed over her shoulders and she's doing You're Hot and
Speaker 2: Your Cold a big hit, and this bloke jumps up
Speaker 2: from stage and tries to tries to stop her. What
Speaker 2: was he thinking? Now, he's a serial offender, this bloke.
Speaker 2: He's some guy who's known as the Pajama Man. He's
Speaker 2: a content creator, which means he's some blake who performed
Speaker 2: stunts to get likes on social media on Instagram. His
Speaker 2: name is Johnson Win aka the Pajama Man, and the
Speaker 2: Blake's got Form twenty twenty one. He was fined two
Speaker 2: hundred dollars because he ran under the field during the
Speaker 2: third State of Origin match in Brisbane twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2: We were playing India in the ICC. It was in
Speaker 2: the ICC World Cup. He's run under the field. He's
Speaker 2: tribed to grab the Indian captain Virek Cohli and now
Speaker 2: he's done with Katy perrk Katy Perry's final show to
Speaker 2: a night at Kudos Bank Arena, Pajama Man. Hopefully he
Speaker 2: won't be anywhere near the venue now. Talking about rock stars,
Speaker 2: Chris Mins, the Premier, had a rockstar reception at a
Speaker 2: business forum this morning in Sydney. Now it's like the
Speaker 2: Coalition and the Labor Party of switch sides in McCrory Street,
Speaker 2: particularly over the issue of workers compensation. So Daniel Mookie,
Speaker 2: the Treasurer and Chris Mins attended the Business New South
Speaker 2: Wales pre budget breakfast at the Shangrila Hotel this morning
Speaker 2: and they were introduced on the stage by Business Sydney
Speaker 2: executive Director Paul Nikola, who often appears in the program,
Speaker 2: and he introduced the crowd by saying, now turn to
Speaker 2: the person on your left and say I love Chris Mins,
Speaker 2: and then turn to the person on your right and
Speaker 2: say I love Daniel Mookie. This celebration of love by
Speaker 2: the business community was all about the workers compensation issue,
Speaker 2: which you know we've been talking a lot about it
Speaker 2: on the station over the past couple of weeks, is
Speaker 2: now going to be referred to it an Upper House
Speaker 2: inquir And because it's referred to an inquiry, it means
Speaker 2: premiums are likely to go up.
Speaker 5: Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard, if it's happening in your city,
Speaker 5: do you'll hear it on Sydney Now.
Speaker 2: To GenB on the text line zero course zero eight
Speaker 2: seven three eight seven three, Jason asked the question, do
Speaker 2: we know what the etu's problem is? Can they explain
Speaker 2: their position, their concerns They don't like talking publicly now,
Speaker 2: so the ETU will be at the center of this
Speaker 2: hearing before the Fair Work Commission tomorrow that involves the
Speaker 2: state government, the other unions that represent workers of Sydney
Speaker 2: Trains and the ETU. All the other unions, but notably
Speaker 2: the Rail, Tram and Bus Union, are now supportive of
Speaker 2: this new paid year with the state government, but the
Speaker 2: ETU is holding out and because of that it can't
Speaker 2: be finalized, which means, effectively we still have the thread
Speaker 2: of industrial action hanging over our heads. Now why this
Speaker 2: is important with the ETU, because if you cast your
Speaker 2: mind back to January, we had an complete meltdown of
Speaker 2: the rail network. There were two reasons for that. One,
Speaker 2: the RTBU had instructed their drivers on the outer suburban
Speaker 2: network to drive slowly, but the system completely crumbled because
Speaker 2: there was a problem at Bondijunction, and then there was
Speaker 2: another problem at Homebush, a mechanical problem. It was actually
Speaker 2: well no, it wasn't mechanical, it was actually an electrical problem,
Speaker 2: and because the ETU was taking industri real action, it
Speaker 2: couldn't be fixed, which means the trains were stuffed for
Speaker 2: the whole day. So this is the risk. If this
Speaker 2: dispute is not sorted out, we risk that happening again.
Speaker 2: So Jason, what's their problem. Apparently it's a bit of
Speaker 2: a demarcation dispute. It all comes down to how different
Speaker 2: workers are classified. That's a sexually the problem. But the
Speaker 2: fact that this has been going on now effectively for
Speaker 2: two years and dates back to the way when the
Speaker 2: coalition was in power. In the end, we the commuters
Speaker 2: are paying their wages through our taxes and through our
Speaker 2: opal cards, and we're not getting the service. And that's
Speaker 2: unfair on us, the traveling public. A woman's appeared before
Speaker 2: court charged with wine fueled behave on an international flight.
Speaker 2: That's the quote from police wine fueled behavior. The sixty
Speaker 2: four year old is accused of consuming a bottle of
Speaker 2: her own wine on a flight between New Caledonia and
Speaker 2: Sydney last week. When the woman was told she could
Speaker 2: not consume her own alcohol on board the aircraft, she
Speaker 2: allegedly became verbally abusive and, according to the police delegations,
Speaker 2: at one point kicked a crew member in the stomach.
Speaker 2: She allegedly refused instructions to sit down. During the descent,
Speaker 2: she prompted the prompting the crew to attempt to physically
Speaker 2: restrain her in her seat. The AFP then responded, once
Speaker 2: the airline arrived terminal.
Speaker 5: You want to know what's happening in Sydney, stay tuned
Speaker 5: to Sydney Now with Clinton onto gb.
Speaker 2: We spoke a lot about rubbish on the program last week. Well,
Speaker 2: you would have been following this story today about Sydney councils,
Speaker 2: all but three of thirty four local councils planning to
Speaker 2: raise the residential domestic waste service fee. You have a
Speaker 2: close look at your rates and your council rates are
Speaker 2: divided in to the base rate that you pay, but
Speaker 2: there's also that residential domestic waste fee. Well, it's going
Speaker 2: to go up for virtually all of us. Now. Georges
Speaker 2: River Council, we have been in our sites over a
Speaker 2: few issues in the last couple of weeks, but hats
Speaker 2: off to them. They're the only council though there's actually
Speaker 2: three councils overall, but they're the only counselors proposing reducing
Speaker 2: their fee. The average fee of waste collection for the
Speaker 2: Georges River Council will be cut from six hundred and
Speaker 2: thirteen dollars to six hundred dollars. So, while we have
Speaker 2: been bashing up Georges River Council on a few issues
Speaker 2: and with good reason, it's a well a hooray for
Speaker 2: Georges River Council to meet This evening, let's check in
Speaker 2: your headlines.
Speaker 5: An ease, update, upgrade and save with Winston with a
Speaker 5: wine again. Twenty five percent of motorized Blinds, Curtains and Dawnings.
Speaker 5: Book now at Winston dot com dot AUS.
Speaker 8: And we've got the latest Good Evening, Katie Puller, Good Evening, Clinton.
Speaker 8: Another Australian journalist has been during protests in Los Angeles.
Speaker 8: ABC correspondent Lauren Day was hit with tear gas as
Speaker 8: police disperse crowds taking part in immigration raid protests. As
Speaker 8: seventy seven year old woman has been arrested over a
Speaker 8: deadly hit and run. In Sydney's Southwest, a forty six
Speaker 8: year old man was struck and killed when he stepped
Speaker 8: outside his car. Monash Ivf has been caught up in
Speaker 8: another embryo transfer bungle, the second it's admitted to in
Speaker 8: just two months, and research suggests growing costs are seeing
Speaker 8: half of Australian men put off medical appointments. In Sport,
Speaker 8: the Roosters rushed Sam Walk into their side to face
Speaker 8: the Knights after just one game in the New South
Speaker 8: Wales Cup following a knee reconstruction. Clinton more news at.
Speaker 2: Six Sakkati fourteen degrees in the city at the moment,
Speaker 2: It's thirteen degrees in the western suburbs. Now tomorrow the
Speaker 2: program will come to you live from the new Western
Speaker 2: Sydney Airport. I'm going to have the privilege of visiting
Speaker 2: the terminal. It's going to be the first time a
Speaker 2: lot of people are able to see the terminal. It's
Speaker 2: just about finished, so I'll be out there in the
Speaker 2: morning and then in the afternoon will broadcast the show
Speaker 2: from the terminal. The Western City Airport will be operating
Speaker 2: late next year, capable of handling ten million passengers a year,
Speaker 2: and this is going to be very different to Mascot
Speaker 2: because it's going to be a twenty four hour day airport.
Speaker 27: Now.
Speaker 2: I know the flight paths were released last week and
Speaker 2: there's some controversy about the flight paths, but just bear
Speaker 2: in mind initial flight numbers is going to be much
Speaker 2: smaller for the Western Sydney Airport than they are for Mascot,
Speaker 2: and there's also much greater capacity for change there as well. Eventually, eventually,
Speaker 2: the plan is for the Western Sydney Airport to become
Speaker 2: the largest in the city that will handle eighty million
Speaker 2: passengers every single year. The runway will accommodate eight three
Speaker 2: eighties and also seven four seven eighths, so that the
Speaker 2: biggest planes that fly around the globe it'll open late
Speaker 2: next year. Will broadcast the program alive from the Western
Speaker 2: Sydney Airport tomorrow. As update, you did a very positive
Speaker 2: day on the stock market, the All ordinaries trading up
Speaker 2: point eight one of a percent, eight thousand, eight hundred
Speaker 2: and twelve point the ASX two hundred up point eight
Speaker 2: four percent, eight thousand, five hundred and eighty seven one
Speaker 2: Australian dollar buying sixty four US since reason for the
Speaker 2: strong performance in the stock market today is has been
Speaker 2: some very encouraging trade talks between the United States and China.
Speaker 2: Meetings were held in London on Monday between the US
Speaker 2: Treasury Secretary and represented some China and the Treasury Secretary,
Speaker 2: Scott Besnett says, we are doing very well with China.
Speaker 2: It's not easy, but we we're getting some good progress.
Speaker 2: So that's positive for us because even though this is
Speaker 2: the direct relationship between the Chinese and the United States,
Speaker 2: they are both key trading partners for US. So if
Speaker 2: the economies of those two nations suffer, we end up
Speaker 2: suffering on Sydney.
Speaker 5: Now a weather Update will be here to help in
Speaker 5: unexpected weather.
Speaker 1: Nrima Insurance a help company.
Speaker 2: It's been a beautiful day across Sydney hardly it was
Speaker 2: out in the sky a little early obviously, the sun
Speaker 2: going down now tonight the temperature will will drop probably
Speaker 2: just below ten degrees in the coast, fourteen degrees in
Speaker 2: the city at the moment, thirteen in the west. Tomorrow,
Speaker 2: mostly sunny day with the top of eighteen degrees. Thursday,
Speaker 2: a shower all two developing, and sixteen showers on Friday,
Speaker 2: and at this certainly stage for the weekend, a chower
Speaker 2: all two on Saturday, partly cloudy on Sunday. If it
Speaker 2: matters to you, you'll hear it here.
Speaker 1: Sydney Now with Quinton Maynard. Until see let's.
Speaker 2: Talk some sport with Mark Guy. Hello, Mging Clinton, how
Speaker 2: are you, buddy? I know we didn't get to talk yesterday,
Speaker 2: so can I ask you? How is your experience at
Speaker 2: the Mighty Shark Park on Saturday night?
Speaker 27: It was fantastic. We got all there from one pm
Speaker 27: and so I just want to say, for the record,
Speaker 27: the best food that we've ever had delivered to us
Speaker 27: in the commentary box with the continuous call to him,
Speaker 27: it was beautiful fresh sandwiches. And then it was because
Speaker 27: it was the Pacific celebration. We had all this beautiful
Speaker 27: polylegiance to come into the box, which was delightful. So
Speaker 27: to all those at Shark Park, thank you for the
Speaker 27: accommodating gesture on Saturday. It was much appreciated.
Speaker 2: And you're certainly polished off because I turned up at
Speaker 2: just about five thirty. You'd gone and there's no food
Speaker 2: in the box whatsoever. Everyone had eaten it.
Speaker 27: You've got Mark leeby, Mark Guyer and Martin come on,
Speaker 27: come on, and Gow and Gow was there as well.
Speaker 2: Now I've got a mission to make MG about that game.
Speaker 2: So that the boys did have me in the box
Speaker 2: on Saturday night, I left with fifteen minutes to go.
Speaker 27: I walked out, why buddy, what's to be there? They
Speaker 27: were awful. I thought the stage was set for them
Speaker 27: to beat the Warriors. But unfortunately the Warriors that team
Speaker 27: like Camera this year, who are great to watch, and
Speaker 27: they're going to be there when the chips are.
Speaker 2: Down and they have more energy and enthusiasm Crent that
Speaker 2: had none.
Speaker 27: Yeah, that's that's not a good thing that halfway through
Speaker 27: the year, isn't it strength When you haven't got any
Speaker 27: original representatives?
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, they've got a few injuries here and there,
Speaker 2: but they came off a buye. I know they traveler
Speaker 2: at the first half of the year, but they had
Speaker 2: a buy so they should have been rested up and
Speaker 2: they just they'd looked like lethargic.
Speaker 27: Yeah. I was listening to the call on the way
Speaker 27: home and exactly how the boys explained it that they
Speaker 27: looked like they didn't turn up and that's worrying when
Speaker 27: you're playing home after a buy. So back on the horse.
Speaker 2: O KMG team with Tuesday changes obviously because Origin players
Speaker 2: don't play this weekend for their clubs.
Speaker 27: Yeah, some massive inns any out. Cody Walker is out
Speaker 27: for South Sydney without recurring calf injury. So I Cody
Speaker 27: turns thirty six in January, so you might think that
Speaker 27: this is his last season, but look Rooster's halfback seeing
Speaker 27: Walker returns for the first time since a round and
Speaker 27: twenty six last year. He'll play against the Knights on Saturday.
Speaker 27: Turbot was back for Manly after a thigh injury. New
Speaker 27: Bulldog recruit lock at the Galvin. He'll partner Tab Sexton
Speaker 27: in the hears with Matt Burton on Origin. Judy and
Speaker 27: Jackson Hastings comes into the Newcastle's line up for the
Speaker 27: first time this season, so there are a bit of
Speaker 27: trouble at the moment. Knights. Colen Pong was off on
Speaker 27: Origin duties, but Jackson Hastings he'll play his first game
Speaker 27: of the year at night and.
Speaker 2: So Galvin has been named. He was on the bench
Speaker 2: yesterday for the game against the Yels. He will play seven,
Speaker 2: he'll play six. He'll played six because Burton's in the
Speaker 2: extended squad for the Origin.
Speaker 27: Yes, yes, Burtain's eighteenth man, so he'll be playing six.
Speaker 27: But there's some also some Origin news we haven't spoken
Speaker 27: about obviously because we went on there yesterday, but Kevin
Speaker 27: Munster has been named as captain. Look really slad. I
Speaker 27: don't know whether he's playing mind games or what, but
Speaker 27: there is word that he's going to put Pat Carrigan
Speaker 27: and Jeremiah n and I on the bench to start
Speaker 27: with cape Well and Cutter and look for it's worth.
Speaker 27: I think they're two best forwards in the game one
Speaker 27: Carrigan and Nani. So I don't know whether he's playing
Speaker 27: ducks and drapes or I'm still thinking Corey Hawesbury might
Speaker 27: make his way into their seventeen but you know what,
Speaker 27: who cares?
Speaker 2: As we said this, I was surprised he's not in
Speaker 2: the seventeen horse.
Speaker 22: From Yeah, well he's in the twenty. So what I
Speaker 22: suppose was this.
Speaker 27: So far away, it's not just the now. I was
Speaker 27: flight like the Brisbane is to Sydney. I suppose because
Speaker 27: it's four and a half five hour flight over the Perth,
Speaker 27: they've got to take them players as a contingency plan.
Speaker 2: So but you need a madman in this in a
Speaker 2: state of Oregon. So I mean you were the madman
Speaker 2: for New South. Wow, they need one too, don't they?
Speaker 27: I think so. I think they lacked that. You know,
Speaker 27: I felt sorry for Dahli Cherry Evans. I must confess that.
Speaker 27: I don't think when you're a half back, you you've
Speaker 27: got to have your forwards going forward and going really
Speaker 27: strongly against the other pack. And unfortunately for Daily Cherry
Speaker 27: Evans and Munster and Ponger in game one, our forwards
Speaker 27: just depleted the coins leaning forward. So I think that's
Speaker 27: where they should have made the changes. I would have
Speaker 27: even brought Josh Papa Leiki back into the team for
Speaker 27: one last sur I think he would have been He
Speaker 27: would have been one of them inspirational leaders for Coinsland.
Speaker 27: But anyway, they've chosen what they've chosen and let the
Speaker 27: chips lay where they are. Clinton Queenslanders. Look what they're
Speaker 27: going down to zip in Perth.
Speaker 2: And the West Tigers have made it a signing today.
Speaker 27: They have mate Taylor may Is on a train and
Speaker 27: trial deal for the rest of the year. He'll be
Speaker 27: joining his brother Terrell, which is not about signing for
Speaker 27: this time of year, I suppose, because it's you know,
Speaker 27: he's he his handy player hasn't played for a while,
Speaker 27: so we don't know what kind of a position, what
Speaker 27: kind of condition he will be in. But yeah, the
Speaker 27: Tigers and they're also chasing Adam Reynolds. The Tigers are
Speaker 27: as well because the Broncos are kind of yet to
Speaker 27: table him an offer for next year, so the Tigers
Speaker 27: are trying to get into the guard of the Broncos
Speaker 27: and get get Adam Reynolds down to the Tigers next
Speaker 27: year as well.
Speaker 2: You know, some people grow up sometimes they like to
Speaker 2: change their name. He'd have a few troubles if he
Speaker 2: wanted to change his name. Who's that Taylor May Well,
Speaker 2: we'll do because he's got the name may is tattered
Speaker 2: around his neck and you certainly can't rub it off
Speaker 2: with an a race here.
Speaker 27: He'll never get lost, He'll never get lost in the
Speaker 27: shopping center.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a video doing the rounds and this shows
Speaker 2: parents in the UK heckling teenager during an under fourteen's
Speaker 2: junior rugby league game.
Speaker 27: Yeah, I've seen it. Look, it's not good, and that's
Speaker 27: kind of vindicative of what happens. Everyone who's listening to
Speaker 27: this chat right now, we'll be not in their head
Speaker 27: when they say that they've seen some parents, coaches, officials
Speaker 27: carrying on like pork chops on the sideline when there's
Speaker 27: kid's playing. Look. I even remember a game when I
Speaker 27: was playing against I was playing for Whalen in the
Speaker 27: Peder Junior Ability competition when I was under twelves. At
Speaker 27: half time, I'm sitting there having an orange with all
Speaker 27: my teammates. The next thing I see is my dad
Speaker 27: chasing someone across the foot field on a post motorbike.
Speaker 27: What we found out ten minutes later was the guy
Speaker 27: who was chasing said to anyone in the black team,
Speaker 27: I'll give you five dollars bash number nine, which I
Speaker 27: was number nine. So Dad found out there. So you're kidding, yes, yes,
Speaker 27: so this is this has been going on since you
Speaker 27: know what, forty years ago, forty five years ago, So
Speaker 27: this is Look, I know. Matt Lodge has said something
Speaker 27: on Instagram as well over the weekend. He said, basically
Speaker 27: he felt obliged to deliver a strong message to it's
Speaker 27: not standing for some of the stuff that they saw
Speaker 27: from coaches parents. He said that he loves the sports
Speaker 27: that much, but the abusing and yelling and swear and
Speaker 27: criticizing kids at a five six seven ages shouldn't happen.
Speaker 27: And I agree, I mean don't. I coached my boys
Speaker 27: for a long time and one of the main reasons
Speaker 27: I stopped coaching was because of parents interference. He's got
Speaker 27: to let the boys be boys or the girls big girls,
Speaker 27: and we've got to stop trying to live our lives
Speaker 27: through their eyes. We've had our chance. Now let them
Speaker 27: play them, let them.
Speaker 20: Do it well.
Speaker 2: I've actually got to say I've only returned this year
Speaker 2: to seeing my son play soccer, and I've got to
Speaker 2: say I've actually seen none of the poor behavior from parents.
Speaker 27: That's great, Yeah, that's fantastic.
Speaker 2: Because you hear of it all the time. But I
Speaker 2: genuinely I don't know if it's just the club that
Speaker 2: they're involved with. I don't know whether it's the area
Speaker 2: or whatever was going on, but I genuinely have seen
Speaker 2: no poor behavior at all.
Speaker 27: Well, I think it is getting better. I think what
Speaker 27: the the I know that the Penouth Junior ABUL League, now,
Speaker 27: if you're going out from the sideline, they'll stop the game.
Speaker 27: The referel point of the person who's yelling and say,
Speaker 27: if you say one more, we're going to fall for
Speaker 27: your team. Yeah, And I think that's as strong as
Speaker 27: you can get. And I think that's what they rething should.
Speaker 27: These kids who are refereeing most times have got to
Speaker 27: have their parents sitting in the car, their kids were
Speaker 27: sitting on the sideline just say that they get abused
Speaker 27: and they're trying to you know, these are the future.
Speaker 27: You know, without refereens, we haven't got a game. People,
Speaker 27: So let them let them go, let them, let them,
Speaker 27: let them live their lives. Yeah, the kids play their
Speaker 27: games as well.
Speaker 2: Spot on good on MG Talk tomorrow Buddy MG back
Speaker 2: with us after five point thirty tomorrow, thirteen to six.
Speaker 2: Peter Aviden mentioned he's going to have a look at
Speaker 2: this in the nine News bullet in tonight. The new
Speaker 2: blood test that is being developed to detect people who
Speaker 2: are celiac. Now, this is quite an amazing statistic. It's
Speaker 2: estimated eighty percent of people who do suffer Celiac disease
Speaker 2: actually don't realize they have it. So those who need
Speaker 2: to be really on a gluten free diet. It's detective
Speaker 2: at the moment, effectively through gastrosophies and biopsies. Now I
Speaker 2: have a condition, not silly, a disease, but I do
Speaker 2: have a regular gastrostrophy. Now it's not a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: You've got to go to hospital, you go under a
Speaker 2: general anesthetic. Well, this will be some new development that
Speaker 2: will be an ultrasensitive blood test and it's being developed
Speaker 2: by some Australians and this will make quite a difference
Speaker 2: because those who have developed this blood test believe that
Speaker 2: it will mean that doctors will be able to be
Speaker 2: more effective in diagnosing the disease and then those who
Speaker 2: shouldn't be eaten gluten will actually be able to stick
Speaker 2: to a diet that won't lead them to be sick.
Speaker 2: It's an important Australian initiative and great that it's actually
Speaker 2: been something that's been developed right here?

Speaker 2: remember this song Snead O'Connor? It was on this day
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety three. She lived quite a troubled life Shnado
Speaker 2: O'Connor now sadly passed. She took out a full page
Speaker 2: ad in the Irish Times.
Speaker 1: Which is the leading newspaper in.
Speaker 2: Dublin, and the full page ad simply said stop hurting
Speaker 2: me please. She had a really troubled chub. She felt
Speaker 2: that the world was against her. She had some issues
Speaker 2: with the Catholic Church in the paper as well. And
Speaker 2: this song which was her biggest hit, without doubt, do
Speaker 2: you know who was written by Prince? Nothing compares to you?
Speaker 2: And sadly Shaneid O'Connor long gone and writer of that
Speaker 2: chien Prince departed as well. Finally, there's been a fair
Speaker 2: bit of attention paid to the black market tobacco issue
Speaker 2: we have in this country. Well news today that OSTRAC
Speaker 2: is actually now playing a role. Ostrack is what you
Speaker 2: might call the the financial crime fighters in the country.
Speaker 2: They're a special agency under the auspices of the federal government.
Speaker 2: They've now been brought in to look at the back
Speaker 2: end of this trade. They often, for instance, investigate big
Speaker 2: business and financial wrongdoing. What they're now going to be
Speaker 2: involved in is working with state police and federal police
Speaker 2: about how the tobacco industry is being funded, the illegal
Speaker 2: tobacco industry because that's at the heart, particularly of fire
Speaker 2: bombings in Victoria. But how all these tobacconists that have
Speaker 2: opened up everywhere of being financed.
Speaker 5: Do you want to know what's happening in Sydney? Stay
Speaker 5: tuned to send me out with Clinton later ont GB.
Speaker 2: It appears that Celiac disease is one of the most
Speaker 2: underreported significant conditions that Australians suffer. But we're moving closer
Speaker 2: to a new blood test that would actually be able
Speaker 2: to diagnose Celiac disease. Jen, your daughter has Celiac disease.
Speaker 6: Yes, she does.
Speaker 24: We only just discovered it actually just via a biopsy.
Speaker 24: But you know she was on diet, so going on
Speaker 24: and off gluten for quite some time, and then you know,
Speaker 24: having troubles with it, ended up not being able to
Speaker 24: go back to regular school. So you know, to be
Speaker 24: able to sort of have just a blood test to
Speaker 24: be able to tell us would have been great.
Speaker 2: It makes it, It makes it so much easier than
Speaker 2: an invasive persuages procedure. What triggered your thought that she
Speaker 2: did suffer it?
Speaker 24: Just a general symptoms but they weren't sort of all
Speaker 24: the time. Sometimes she would get it, sometimes she wouldn't,
Speaker 24: and so sort of hidden there and when the team ages,
Speaker 24: you know, it's hard to sort of say, you know,
Speaker 24: you really.
Speaker 2: Seek Well, it's become more common in recent years, but
Speaker 2: it's it's very much underdiagnosed. So hopefully this test will
Speaker 2: be available in a few years time. Thanks you called Jin.
