Speaker 1: Whoa across Australia. This is Weekends with Luke Grant. But
Speaker 1: you gotta keep your head up.
Speaker 2: Let's your hand up. You gotta keep your head up.
Speaker 2: Then you collects your hand up. I know it's hard, no,
Speaker 2: it's hard to remember sometimes, but you gotta keep your
Speaker 2: head up.
Speaker 1: Thanks, golects your hand up.
Speaker 3: Good morning, Welcome to Weekends with Luke Grant. Great to
Speaker 3: be with you on t GB in Sydney, four BC
Speaker 3: in Brisbane and listeners on the app joining us all
Speaker 3: around Australia. June fourteen today Saturday morning, and the greatest
Speaker 3: country on Earth. What a bitterly cold week it's been,
Speaker 3: certainly where I've been on the coast around Sydney, and
Speaker 3: I noted a couple of days back Mount Isa. The
Speaker 3: ISA in northwest Queensland recorded it's cold as June nineteen
Speaker 3: forty four years after temperatures plunged to minus zero point seven.
Speaker 3: Further eastern Queensland and Richmond a minimum temp of minus
Speaker 3: zero point one, the first sub zero nighte in thirteen years.
Speaker 3: Oh boy, okay on the Darling Downs reached the low
Speaker 3: of minus four point two. It's winter now. In Brisbane,
Speaker 3: the ABC reported that Yesterday, temperatures reached record breaking lows
Speaker 3: in the southeast of the state, the Mercury dropping five
Speaker 3: to eight degrees below average. Brisbane CBD worked towards coldest
Speaker 3: June morning since two thousand and two. My god, twenty
Speaker 3: three years. It was just five point two degrees in Sydney,
Speaker 3: just a week or so back, the coldest temps recorded
Speaker 3: at nine am, Sydney's air temperature reaching ten point four
Speaker 3: harrond or feels like temperature of five point three. We
Speaker 3: shouldn't be scared about this. It's the weather and it's winter.
Speaker 3: You know, this is just the first half for the
Speaker 3: first month of winter. I guess we take comfort from
Speaker 3: the predicted mild winter ahead, do we? Speaking of temperatures
Speaker 3: in the weather in Sydney, a partly cloudy day with
Speaker 3: a medium chance of showers. They'll become less likely late
Speaker 3: this afternoon and tonight in the city seventeen Penrith, eighteen Paramatta,
Speaker 3: seventeen Bondai and along the coast seventeen Tomorrow and Sydney
Speaker 3: party cloudy, slight chance of a shower and a top
Speaker 3: of eighteen degrees. Brisbane today mostly sunny, top tempts in
Speaker 3: the City twenty one, Airport twenty Ipswich twenty one, the
Speaker 3: Sunny Coast twenty Gold Coast twenty one tomorrow and Brisbane
Speaker 3: Sunny in twenty two. You win now so much to
Speaker 3: tell you about today, What a week it's been on
Speaker 3: planet Earth. Firstly, I can tell you that Iranian ballistic
Speaker 3: missiles struck at least seven sites around Tel Aviv last night,
Speaker 3: injuring at least twenty two people, according to Israeli mis
Speaker 3: military officials and firefighters. Video from Tel Aviv showed at
Speaker 3: least one large explosion on the ground from an apparent
Speaker 3: missile strike and at least one building on fire. Explosions
Speaker 3: were also heard over Jerusalem as missiles streaked overhead part
Speaker 3: of Iran's retaliatory campaign after waves of Israeli strikes the
Speaker 3: devastated Tehran's military chaine of command and it critical nuclear facilities.
Speaker 3: A dozens were killed in Iran more than three hundred
Speaker 3: others injured, according to unofficial figures cited by the Fars
Speaker 3: news agency, which is affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards. Now
Speaker 3: fascinatingly and on a large extent, concerningly, Sophie Ellsworth from
Speaker 3: News Corps says desperate Australians trying to flee Israel have
Speaker 3: lashed out of the Australian Embassy, furious that it's closed
Speaker 3: while the country under attack, and say they've been provided
Speaker 3: with no plans to try to bring them home as
Speaker 3: Iran launched hundreds of ballistic missiles. A cohort of Assis
Speaker 3: remain trapped in the war torn region trying to get
Speaker 3: assistance to come home. Now. Among those in Israel a
Speaker 3: former Olympian Nova Peris who's bunkered down in Jerusalem, she says,
Speaker 3: and was due to take part in a reception by
Speaker 3: the Israel Australia, New Zealand and Oceania Chamber of Commerce
Speaker 3: on Sunday in Tel Aviv. Now, the Department of Foreign
Speaker 3: Affairs and Trade Defacts say there's between ten and twelve
Speaker 3: thousand Australians living in Israel. There's also an Australian cohort
Speaker 3: of political representatives hosted by the Israeli Embassy in camera.
Speaker 3: They've been in the Middle East for the past week.
Speaker 3: They're also bunkered down in bomb shelters and safe rooms
Speaker 3: across Israel, and she says former Sid the radio host
Speaker 3: erin Molin, is among the Australians in Israel unable to
Speaker 3: come home, and said she quite tried to register with
Speaker 3: the embassy this morning and they wouldn't take our names. Unquote.
Speaker 3: The Telegraph of contacted defat for comment. One Irate Ozzy,
Speaker 3: who did not want to be named, is in Tel
Speaker 3: Aviv on a short term trip, desperate to come home,
Speaker 3: but said little supports being provided, saying that they were
Speaker 3: told we're currently or they're currently sheltering underground at a bunker.
Speaker 3: It's tense and it's frightening, he said. Raphael Grossi, the
Speaker 3: head of the UN's Nuclear watchdog, told the Security Council
Speaker 3: that Israel's strike on Iran's nuclear site near the Tarans
Speaker 3: had destroyed its above ground enrichment plant, causing chemical and
Speaker 3: radiological contamination, and of course, in Tel Aviv, Israeli TV
Speaker 3: showed images of a damaged building and many mangled and
Speaker 3: burned cars from one of the impact sites in the area.
Speaker 3: This is, obviously, you don't need me to remind you significant,
Speaker 3: and we'll keep our eyes and ears open to bring
Speaker 3: you the very latest we know. Flights have been diverted
Speaker 3: from the area as Middle East airspace closes, and this
Speaker 3: is what day two. So as I say, we'll update
Speaker 3: you on what is the very latest in the Middle East.
Speaker 3: Now to another huge story from this week. And you know,
Speaker 3: we talk about these things that happened, tragedies, and we're
Speaker 3: mindful of the loss of life and how difficult it
Speaker 3: must be for families and friends. But in amongst all
Speaker 3: of this, you'd have to say a miracle. A British
Speaker 3: man the sole survivor of the crash of Air India
Speaker 3: flight one seventy one, which went down moments after take
Speaker 3: off in Maddabad, Matabad on Thursday, killing more than two
Speaker 3: hundred and forty people. Now before I go on, I
Speaker 3: see that a second Air India flight turned around and
Speaker 3: made an emergency landing in Pouquet yesterday when it received
Speaker 3: a bomb threat while en route to New Delhi. Reportedly,
Speaker 3: passengers were escorted off the plane safely. The back of
Speaker 3: the survivor from flight one seven to one. A viswash
Speaker 3: Kumar Ramesh in hospital where he was being treated for
Speaker 3: burns and other injuries. He told the Indian Prime Minister
Speaker 3: Narendra Mody that he still could not believe he was alive.
Speaker 3: He told India's national broadcaster during the meeting with Mody
Speaker 3: that the Boeing seven eight to seven eight Dreamliner seemed
Speaker 3: to be struck stuck rather in the air for a
Speaker 3: few seconds after take off, the lights started flickering green
Speaker 3: and white, and the plane bound for London Gatwick Airport
Speaker 3: with two hundred and forty two people from India, Britain,
Speaker 3: Portugal and Canada on board, seemed unable to gain height
Speaker 3: before it crashed. He said, section of the plane where
Speaker 3: he was seated landed on the ground rather than a building,
Speaker 3: and there was a room for him to escape. He
Speaker 3: unfastened his seat belt and forced himself out of the plane.
Speaker 3: He went on to say, maybe the people who were
Speaker 3: on the other side of the plane weren't able to
Speaker 3: I don't know, he said, how I survived. I saw
Speaker 3: people dying in front of my eyes. The air hostess,
Speaker 3: there's two people I saw near me. I walked out
Speaker 3: of the rubble. So courtesy of an interpreter from sky
Speaker 3: News UK, he is a little of what the miracle
Speaker 3: man had to say.
Speaker 1: I met him.
Speaker 4: There's some new other Everything happened in front of my eyes.
Speaker 4: I still can't believe myself how I came out alive
Speaker 4: and give it for a little while, and I thought
Speaker 4: I was going to die here. But when I opened
Speaker 4: my eyes so I realized I'm alive or a minute,
Speaker 4: so I tried to escape. I pulled out the belt
Speaker 4: from under my seat and tried to escape. Then I
Speaker 4: managed to do it. I saw others and the air
Speaker 4: hostesses in front of me who couldn't escapes.
Speaker 3: It's remarkable. Apparently from the plane he made a video
Speaker 3: call to his dad. He was speaking to his dad
Speaker 3: on a telephone call while the while he was getting
Speaker 3: ready to board. I just can't fathom all of this.
Speaker 3: So for more on this, my friend and colleague Brian Wilson,
Speaker 3: broadcast journalist at nine years and of course three aw
Speaker 3: a specialist in aviation, maritime, emergency management, business, infrastructure and travel,
Speaker 3: joins me on the line. Brian, thanks for your time, mate.
Speaker 3: These Boeing Dreamliners I think I'm right in saying had
Speaker 3: a faultless safety record. I imagine the industry doesn't has
Speaker 3: to assess if this is a one off or a
Speaker 3: fault that may affect the entire fleet. Is that a
Speaker 3: step too far? Is it too early? What do you say, mate?
Speaker 5: No, good morning, Luke. Look it's I think you've I
Speaker 5: think you're quite right there. The situation we've got is
Speaker 5: simply the fact that this is a horrible, horrible tragedy.
Speaker 5: I think in terms of the baseline, this is now
Speaker 5: very much about confirming the what and then finding the why.
Speaker 5: I would say at this point in time, if there
Speaker 5: was to be something major with a Boeing Dreamliner, we
Speaker 5: would see dreamliners all around the world grounded. That hasn't happened,
Speaker 5: and we've actually had statements to the contrary from a
Speaker 5: number of aviation authorities, both in Europe, in America, and
Speaker 5: of course even here in Australia. Of course, these aircraft
Speaker 5: are used by Quantus as well. A bit of background
Speaker 5: on at the seven eight sevens. They actually carry around
Speaker 5: half a million people every day, so that's around two
Speaker 5: thousand flights a day that they're taking off around the world.
Speaker 5: So if there was something major as far as the
Speaker 5: system's concerned, we would have seen we would have seen
Speaker 5: the air safety authorities come in and literally issue an
Speaker 5: airworthiness directive and ground these planes. Nonetheless, we will see
Speaker 5: reports today and over the next couple of days of
Speaker 5: airlines taking precautions, inspecting their fleet and things like that.
Speaker 5: And Japan Airlines are doing that as we speak now,
Speaker 5: and also quantus of very very diligent in that space.
Speaker 5: The miracle you talk about seat eleven A is very
Speaker 5: much a miracle.
Speaker 6: I've got to say.
Speaker 5: I was on air at the time that this happened,
Speaker 5: and my news director said, do you think there'll be deaths?
Speaker 5: And my first comment to her was simply, I doubt
Speaker 5: anyone will survive. So to have somebody walk away from
Speaker 5: it is very much a miracle sitting in an exit
Speaker 5: row seat eleven A. Interestingly, the people on the other
Speaker 5: side of the aircraft, those in eleven J, on the
Speaker 5: right hand side of the aircraft, they didn't survive, So
Speaker 5: this is certainly a miracle. I must say that if
Speaker 5: I didn't see the images of the man's boarding pass,
Speaker 5: I probably would have I probably would have been a
Speaker 5: little bit doubtful of the story. That's how that's how
Speaker 5: miraculous it is.
Speaker 3: So let me ask you about what you saw in
Speaker 3: the video. And again I appreciate as an expert you
Speaker 3: have a much better view on these things than the
Speaker 3: rest of us. But you hear things like the landing
Speaker 3: gear was still down, the plane might have stalled. Now
Speaker 3: I'm not sure exactly what that means, but from a
Speaker 3: you know, consider it's lay people, not you us. When
Speaker 3: you look at that something obvious to you. Does a
Speaker 3: plane stalled? What does that even mean?
Speaker 5: Well, it certainly was the case. Literally, I reported this
Speaker 5: on air just around seven thirty ish, so it wasn't
Speaker 5: too long after it happened. The first vision I saw,
Speaker 5: the first thing I looked at, the flaps were attracted,
Speaker 5: the gear was down, and the speed appeared to be
Speaker 5: the lower. So certainly, in my view, straight away, something
Speaker 5: was not right in that situation. When you're on a
Speaker 5: plane and you're about to take off, of course you'll
Speaker 5: hear the flaps actually extend out. That increases the size
Speaker 5: of the wing and creates more lift at lower speeds,
Speaker 5: So straight away that's an issue. The fact that the
Speaker 5: plane had rotated off the deck and the gear hadn't
Speaker 5: been brought up. That creates an enormous amount of drag.
Speaker 5: The procedure normally is that you'll have your other pilot
Speaker 5: to call out your speed V one, which is the
Speaker 5: speed at which you can't have brought you have to
Speaker 5: take off. You'll rotate off the deck and as soon
Speaker 5: as you've got some positive climb. The next command is
Speaker 5: gear up, and that clearly shows that things were not
Speaker 5: necessarily what you would expect on the flight deck at
Speaker 5: the time. The way these aircraft work look is that
Speaker 5: they're highly complex, highly computerized, but they do rely on
Speaker 5: human inputs. So things like the temperature, the air density,
Speaker 5: which is critical a Mutabad at the time thirty seven
Speaker 5: degrees the air density there is not the friend of flying,
Speaker 5: the weight of the aircraft, the runway length, So all
Speaker 5: of these things are manual inputs. So what the investigators
Speaker 5: are going to do now is they're going to forensically
Speaker 5: tear apart that data that's come from the black boxes
Speaker 5: that they've recovered. They're going to create a number of
Speaker 5: specialist teams. There's people from all around the world that are.
Speaker 6: Helping the.
Speaker 5: RKO supervisors and the Indian authorities to investigate this, and
Speaker 5: then they'll forensically dissect what were the inputs into the aircraft,
Speaker 5: what were the crew's actions, did were there any manual interventions?
Speaker 5: And these are the things that will actually we'll see
Speaker 5: in a preliminary report in around about a month's time,
Speaker 5: But certainly this is now very much a case of
Speaker 5: looking at why this happened, and I think anybody getting
Speaker 5: on a seven eighty seven today shouldn't be concerned. This
Speaker 5: certainly is very much like mister Kuma's miraculous walking away
Speaker 5: from it very much or one off.
Speaker 3: Great to talk to you mate, Thank you and if
Speaker 3: we need you tomorrow we're not interfering. We'll find you again.
Speaker 3: But thanks so much for your expertise anytime er. Thank you.
Speaker 3: Brian Wilson from three aw and Melbourne and more broadly
Speaker 3: nine News and as you can tell an aviation expert here,
Speaker 3: we've got some stuff from Brian. They're amazing now quickly
Speaker 3: and sadly. A woman has died after a house was
Speaker 3: engulfed in flames in Petersham overnight in Sydney around ten
Speaker 3: to midnight, emergency services attended a terrace on Westbourne Street,
Speaker 3: Petersham reports of a fire. Residents in neighboring properties were
Speaker 3: evacuated by police while Fired and Rescue New South Wales
Speaker 3: battle to extinguish the blaze. A body believe to be
Speaker 3: that of an eighty two year old woman was found
Speaker 3: inside the home, yet to be formally identified. A fifty
Speaker 3: seven year old man was treated by paramedics at the
Speaker 3: scene for smoke inhalation before being taken to hospital in
Speaker 3: a stable condition. An axed Queensland captain Daily Cherry Evans
Speaker 3: horror week continued. He was grabbed by a fan after
Speaker 3: the Titans did a job on Manly last night. Now,
Speaker 3: the Titans a gold coast, bounced back from last week's
Speaker 3: Broncos drubbing, beating Manley twenty eight to eight at Sea
Speaker 3: Bars Superstadium. A startled Cherry Evans was stunned by the
Speaker 3: man dressed in Manly gear who got hands on him
Speaker 3: before being tackled to the ground by multiple security guards
Speaker 3: and then marched from the field. Not only did Manley
Speaker 3: get done, but that there were a couple of injuries.
Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on there, do you? Because
Speaker 3: one week they look wow and the next week this dally.
Speaker 3: Terry Evans was controversially dropped by the Morons for the
Speaker 3: must win Oragin game on Wednesday in Perth. Now on
Speaker 3: the show Today, Dennis Shanahan from The AIS Will joined
Speaker 3: me shortly for the latest in federal politics. Ge wrote
Speaker 3: a fascinating story this week in case you missed it.
Speaker 3: He said, the PM's been asked to personally intervene in
Speaker 3: a decade old, four hundred million dollar if you don't mind,
Speaker 3: compensation claim for Australian and US citizens over a New
Speaker 3: South Wales government mining confiscation as part of an upcoming
Speaker 3: deal with Donald Trump on trade tariffs. Wouldn't you love
Speaker 3: to be in the room? Wouldn't you love to be
Speaker 3: in the room if they ever meet as a PM
Speaker 3: heads to Canada for the G seven and potentially meets
Speaker 3: the US on the US president on the sidelines. Trade
Speaker 3: representatives in Washington are seeking a resolution to this compensation
Speaker 3: claim rising for the New South Wales Liberal government's confiscation
Speaker 3: of mine sinning loses back in twenty fourteen, and the
Speaker 3: US Trade people have repeatedly raised a lack of compensation
Speaker 3: as a breach of the US Australia Free Trade Agreement.
Speaker 3: As I say, wouldn't you love to be on the
Speaker 3: sidelines of that meeting? Somehow? We'll talk to Dennis about
Speaker 3: that and the other issues from the political week after
Speaker 3: ten this morning, I want to go to Morewell in
Speaker 3: the La Trobe Valiant, Victoria, where the trial of accused
Speaker 3: triple murderer Aaron Patterson's been taking place. It's the case
Speaker 3: which has garnered global attention. Three guests that a lunch
Speaker 3: died after eating beef Wellington in twenty twenty three, and
Speaker 3: the question in the eyes of many is was it
Speaker 3: murder or a tragic mistake? Now? Both Crown Prosecutors and
Speaker 3: Defense Council concluded their cross examination of Miss Patterson this week,
Speaker 3: so there will be no more evidence in coming days
Speaker 3: closing arguments. I want to speak to nine News Penelope Lesh,
Speaker 3: co host of the nine pod cast the Mushroom Trial.
Speaker 3: Say Grace, she'll join me, and as you might expect,
Speaker 3: there are limitations on what we can discuss, so we've
Speaker 3: got to protect the jury, what they're exposed to and
Speaker 3: the legal safeguard. So we'll bring you a sense of
Speaker 3: what life has been like in Morewell whilst the trial
Speaker 3: has been taking place. It's astonishing economists from macrobusiness, dot com,
Speaker 3: dot Au and weekends regularlyf Van Nonsoalan joins me after
Speaker 3: eleven Today he'll rip into Australia's energy armageddon from page
Speaker 3: to the Telly today more power price increases, Yeah, beauty,
Speaker 3: that promise of two hundred and seventy five dollars saving
Speaker 3: seems I don't know so last decade. Gosh, what a
Speaker 3: mess we've got ourselves into. Anyway, we'll talk to Leith
Speaker 3: about that. And whilst we've had an economic clown of
Speaker 3: the Week for the past couple of weeks, this week
Speaker 3: he's found us an economic champion. Ask a trade with
Speaker 3: Simon Stevenson. A will discuss what's important to consider when
Speaker 3: painting tiles and difficult to paint services, amongst other things,
Speaker 3: and will take you DIY calls Craig Bennett in Starstruck
Speaker 3: looks at the life of the outstanding Brian Wilson. He
Speaker 3: of Beach Boys legend and there's so many great songs,
Speaker 3: but for some reason this one really appeals to me. Ah, yes,
Speaker 3: that was off there. I think their last studio album
Speaker 3: as the Beach Boys. That's why God made the radio.
Speaker 3: But there's so many other great songs. Where do I begin.
Speaker 3: I could play you a minion of them now and
Speaker 3: still not be sick of it, but we better not
Speaker 3: do that. We'll spend time with Craig Glader and the
Speaker 3: show about the life and times of Brian. Isn't it
Speaker 3: an amazing show? Two Brian Wilson's one an Aviation expert,
Speaker 3: and the other a beach boy Alice Stoles from Domain
Speaker 3: with a deep dive into the real estate markets of
Speaker 3: Brisbane and city. Of course, quiz your calls, texts and
Speaker 3: emails or the latest breaking news, all the infometh yor
Speaker 3: you need to help you get around town with a
Speaker 3: minimum of fuss. It's Saturday, the fourteenth of June. It's
Speaker 3: ten degrees in Sydney, but it feels like six. It's
Speaker 3: thirteen in Brisbane and that feels like eleven. And this
Speaker 3: is weekends with Luke Grant on two GB and full
Speaker 3: BC and Catherine Hines. Good morning to you helping us
Speaker 3: out with the roads this weekend. Now. Eric's been in
Speaker 3: touch on the email. Look just for your info. My
Speaker 3: son's pilot seven eight to seven pilot. That's complete confidence
Speaker 3: in the aircraft. Good on you, Eric. Nice to hear
Speaker 3: from you, mate. I hope things are well. One three
Speaker 3: one eight seven three is a number. William, good morning,
Speaker 3: Good morning morning. How can I help you, mate?
Speaker 7: I would be most grateful if you would give a
Speaker 7: birthday call to my wife seventy eight years of age today.
Speaker 3: Seventy eight today. Is he listening to this?
Speaker 8: Yep?
Speaker 6: Yep?
Speaker 9: I was snug.
Speaker 10: The little on for session.
Speaker 3: Ah right, leone, leone, never let William out of your sight.

Speaker 6: Seventy eight?
Speaker 3: Well, happy birthday, leone. William?

Speaker 3: on ninety six? Hang on, hang on your nineties there?
Speaker 11: Well you when he was four in and a half.
Speaker 3: Mate, you are absolutely astonishing at ninety six. You have
Speaker 3: stuck into the little room to ring little old Luki
Speaker 3: to tell him that Leoni Susanna is seventy eight today.
Speaker 3: Are you doing something special? Please tell me you are.
Speaker 10: Yes, my son's coming down and taking us out to lunch.
Speaker 3: Beautiful and we so no it's Luke grand Good on you,
Speaker 3: Luke Grand oh good. Lots of love to you both.
Speaker 3: Have a wonderful day, and thanks so much for calling.
Speaker 1: Priming and stuff The la Ventral Politics with Dinnis Shanahan.
Speaker 3: National Editor of the Australian newspaper Dennis Shanahan, how are you,
Speaker 3: my friend?
Speaker 10: I'm fine, Thank you, Luke. And I can tell you
Speaker 10: it's sunny so I can see the snow mountains oh.
Speaker 3: There you are, there, you are. As Albo makes his
Speaker 3: first post election trip to North America, a US and Canada,
Speaker 3: the unfolding war between Israel and Iran as overshadowed and
Speaker 3: complicated Australia's position on both defense spending and orcas and babs,
Speaker 3: even our recognition of Palestine. This is fascinating from a
Speaker 3: commentator's point of view. What do you make of it all?
Speaker 10: Yeah, Look, the trip to the US to attend the
Speaker 10: G seven was going to be a big moment for
Speaker 10: Anthony Albaneti. He was scheduled or hoping to meet Donald
Speaker 10: Trump face to face for the first time, and this
Speaker 10: was going to be the big post election trip. It
Speaker 10: was going to be about trades and tariffs, and we
Speaker 10: had all the arguments lined up.
Speaker 12: Unfortunately, the Israeli attack on Iran and the response against
Speaker 12: what is now an unfolding war missiles, drones and planes
Speaker 12: has actually changed his agenda.
Speaker 10: Completely for the G seven and for the President of
Speaker 10: the United States. What is now going to be top
Speaker 10: of his agenda is the fact that the US has
Speaker 10: been asking that Australia lift its defense spending to three
Speaker 10: point five percent of GDP repeatedly said that Anthony Alberinezi
Speaker 10: has said that he could not agree to a number,
Speaker 10: hasn't agreed to your numbers. Is rather he'd look at
Speaker 10: how we spent the money so that we've got a
Speaker 10: better result. But added to that was the announcement of
Speaker 10: this work or the river A this week that the
Speaker 10: US is reviewing the UCUS nuclear Submarine agreement and what
Speaker 10: they are saying is it has to actually amount to
Speaker 10: being in America's interest first and what this could physically mean.
Speaker 10: And this is looking at the problem, the long term
Speaker 10: problem that can the US actually produce enough nuclear submarines
Speaker 10: for its own use and in addition to giving them
Speaker 10: to Australia, selling them to Australia. So this is a
Speaker 10: really major problem for Australia, wherein this is our biggest,
Speaker 10: biggest investment in defense ever. And now the US is
Speaker 10: saying we're going to have a second look at this.
Speaker 10: So the agenda for the Prime Minister if he does
Speaker 10: get to meet a President Trump, and given the war
Speaker 10: in Israel Iran, the problems in Los Angeles, the Prime
Speaker 10: the presidents are indicated is cutting short his time at
Speaker 10: the G seven in Canada, and so there's already a
Speaker 10: suggestion that the Prime Minister may.
Speaker 9: Not even be.
Speaker 3: You know, you know what, mate, this doesn't pass a
Speaker 3: test for me. There's JD Vance and so many others,
Speaker 3: and this is this is a huge issue for Australia,
Speaker 3: but not just trade but aucus and our own position
Speaker 3: on defense spending. Now, Abbo likes to play tough man
Speaker 3: and say, oh, we won't be dictated to about what
Speaker 3: we should or shouldn't spend. We're bludgers, We're not fair Dickham.
Speaker 3: In this space, we rely on the American relationship dating
Speaker 3: back to w W two that if things get really tough,
Speaker 3: because if Americas said, you know what, this is going
Speaker 3: to be too hard and too expensive for us, then
Speaker 3: you know we're up for grads. And I just think
Speaker 3: it's so important that someone like the Prime Minister Scott
Speaker 3: he should say listen, this relationship means a lot. I'm
Speaker 3: going over there and I'm talking to someone and I'm
Speaker 3: letting the Americans know that this means a lot. And
Speaker 3: I'm in the room with whoever is available, and i
Speaker 3: want it known that this means a lot. He's not
Speaker 3: faired income.
Speaker 10: It's interesting to say that because previously at the Pope's
Speaker 10: inauguration in Rome, the Prime Minister said he wasn't able
Speaker 10: to have a meeting with I'm sorry. At the Pope's
Speaker 10: funeral in Rome, the Prime Minister said he hadn't sought
Speaker 10: a meeting with Vice President Javid Vance because he was
Speaker 10: the leader of the nation and he only met with
Speaker 10: the leader of the nation. And this is a point though,
Speaker 10: and the US is complaining. The Defense Secretary Hexas has
Speaker 10: made this point. He has said sorely the allies, Australia included,
Speaker 10: can't care more about their own defence events than we do.
Speaker 10: And this goes back to for decade centuries when at
Speaker 10: the First World War Australia supplied money directly to the
Speaker 10: British for their navy. There were public donations from Australians
Speaker 10: to go directly to the British Navy so that they
Speaker 10: could help defend Australia because we couldn't do it ourselves.
Speaker 10: We've done it since with the US the World War
Speaker 10: II and beyond, and yet we can't send a message.
Speaker 10: And one of the complaints from the US again about
Speaker 10: Antonio Alperenesi is that he will not say explicitly why
Speaker 10: he is actually investing in August. We all know it's
Speaker 10: about China and the threat of China presents in the
Speaker 10: region and the world, and ANTONIOPENSI will not say it
Speaker 10: because he doesn't want to get China offside. Now. It's
Speaker 10: a difficult position to be in. But one of the
Speaker 10: things the US is saying is simply tell the Australian
Speaker 10: people because what we're having now is a pushback. MPs
Speaker 10: are starting to say, well, some spend this money. Independent MPs,
Speaker 10: we shouldn't spend this money. There is an opposition within
Speaker 10: the Labor Party and what we could actually see if
Speaker 10: there is a failure from the Prime Minister and the
Speaker 10: government to actually go out and really strongly sell Orcus
Speaker 10: and the importance of UCUS and the reason for the
Speaker 10: nuclear submarines, then the public will will shift and the
Speaker 10: government may give way that you're dead right. There is
Speaker 10: a need for a real prosecution of the case publicly
Speaker 10: and politically for UCUS, and we need to have it
Speaker 10: from the top leadership.
Speaker 3: Brilliant couldn't agree more. Right Able Tiger break back with
Speaker 3: more of Dennis and Justice say It's according to Tenaire
Speaker 3: regular weekly chat with Dennis Shanahan from the Oss, the
Speaker 3: National Editor. Now, Palestine Mate Palestine, Penny Wang's hard stand
Speaker 3: on recognizing Palestine, How does that go down in America?
Speaker 3: Do you think is this another problem that we'll have
Speaker 3: with Trump?
Speaker 10: It certainly is, and it's the timing. It couldn't be worse.
Speaker 10: This week, Penny Wong came out with a very hard line,
Speaker 10: saying Australia had joined lividly with Canada and Norway to
Speaker 10: say that we had decided that a recognition of Palestine
Speaker 10: as a separate state it had to be part of
Speaker 10: the peace process for two state settlement in the Middle East. Now,
Speaker 10: she also at a press conference made some very strong
Speaker 10: remarks about Israel and Palestine. Now, this was all before
Speaker 10: Israel launching attack on Iran and to destroy Iran's ability
Speaker 10: to create a nuclear bomb, which even UN has said
Speaker 10: was getting close, and that the Iran was in breach
Speaker 10: of the international non Peripheration non proliferation treating Now, pennywe
Speaker 10: is a very strong supporter of non proliferation, as is Australia.
Speaker 10: And yet at the very time we were saying Israel
Speaker 10: was doing the wrong thing, the US was saying they
Speaker 10: were standing by Israel on this issue. They didn't support
Speaker 10: the demand for the recognition of Palestine, so we were
Speaker 10: being completely separate on this issue to the US. And
Speaker 10: then on the way to Seattle and Canada, the Prime
Speaker 10: Minister stopped in Fiji and had to actively say, yes,
Speaker 10: we saw we were aware or are aware of what
Speaker 10: the risk of an Iran nuclear bomb would have on
Speaker 10: peace for the world. So the Prime Minister yesterday said yes,
Speaker 10: we recognize Australia recognize the danger of what's happening. He
Speaker 10: has been very careful. He was a very carefully controlled
Speaker 10: two question doorstop, not even a press conference in Fiji,
Speaker 10: so he has been very careful what he said. But
Speaker 10: what he was saying was two days after the Foreign
Speaker 10: Minister had said we were taking a very hard line
Speaker 10: against Israel, opposite to the US. He was then the
Speaker 10: Prime Minister was then saying, yes, we can see the
Speaker 10: problem with Iran having a nuclear bomb, we can see
Speaker 10: why Israel has done what it has and that the
Speaker 10: US was while it didn't partake in the attack or
Speaker 10: provide assistance, it did know they were coming. So once
Speaker 10: again Australia has been caught out here on a policy
Speaker 10: very different to the US when the strategic circumstances literally
Speaker 10: changed overnight, and we are now in a position where
Speaker 10: Donald Trump is supporting Israel, the rest of the world
Speaker 10: is supporting Israel on the attacks on Iran. We've seen
Speaker 10: comments coming out of Germany saying, yes, they knew exactly
Speaker 10: what they were doing, and they had to do it.
Speaker 10: There is a general feeling no one, including the UN
Speaker 10: or the International Energy Agreement, want anything to do with
Speaker 10: Iran having a nuclear bomb. Everyone agreed it was very close,
Speaker 10: and so our policy position, which is perfectly perfectly entitled
Speaker 10: to take the timing of it, couldn't be worse as
Speaker 10: far as our relations.
Speaker 6: With the U.
Speaker 10: Second.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got about ninety seconds here. How significant is
Speaker 3: it that a significant labor figure like Bill Kelty has
Speaker 3: declared this tax on unrealized capital gains in super bad policy?
Speaker 3: It is significant, isn't it?
Speaker 10: It is very significant, and it is bad policy. I
Speaker 10: think Bill Kelty, along with Paul Keating, who hasn't yet
Speaker 10: said anything publicly about the superannuation tax, that that is
Speaker 10: the taxing of unrealized paperal gains and the non indexation
Speaker 10: of the threshold, the three million dollars threshold. These are
Speaker 10: principles which are bad policy. They will spread throughout the
Speaker 10: other areas of tax and they undermine This is Bill
Speaker 10: Kelton's point, one of the fathers of labor superannuation scheme,
Speaker 10: says it will undermine superannuation. These are very significant points
Speaker 10: from one of the grand harbors of the ALP and
Speaker 10: I think that what we're seeing is more and more opposition,
Speaker 10: more and more isolation of charmers on this. And I
Speaker 10: wouldn't be surprised in the next few months to see
Speaker 10: a bit of a shift in the government away from
Speaker 10: unrealized capital games tax.
Speaker 3: Great to chat, Dennis, have a terrific weekend. Cheers mate,
Speaker 3: it's nine to ten. Now it's coming up to five
Speaker 3: to ten. Here's another This must irritate listeners in Queensland.
Speaker 3: The Prime Minister's cast doubt over the Brisbane twenty thirty
Speaker 3: two Olympic and Paralympic Games venue plan by suggesting Melbourne
Speaker 3: could still host tennis and rowing be relocated from Rocky
Speaker 3: to Sydney. Albo, appearing on the Two Good Sports podcast
Speaker 3: published yesterday, said there was a bit of debate going
Speaker 3: on over the games and called out the Two Sports
Speaker 3: when discussing the viability and taxpayer burden of major events.
Speaker 3: He said, I've been meeting with Andrew liveris Organizing Committee president,
Speaker 3: as well as with Queensland Premier Christoph Fooley about where
Speaker 3: it goes. For example, are we really going to do
Speaker 3: rowing in Rocky on the Fitzroy River when there's some
Speaker 3: pretty good facilities in Penrith. Well, they're the Brisbane Olympic Games,
Speaker 3: as I have famously said, the bog Brisbane Olympic Games,
Speaker 3: Bog Penrith. I know at State of Oregon. Time is
Speaker 3: in Queensland, but in this albau, what the hell are
Speaker 3: you doing? And I wonder how that plays? As I
Speaker 3: say to our listeners in Brisbane, isn't it funny how
Speaker 3: quickly things change once the election's done, go back to
Speaker 3: being the real elbow? Maybe news coming up shortly after
Speaker 3: the news. So much more to bring you today, including
Speaker 3: the latest on this mushroom trial, the trial of Eron
Speaker 3: Patterson in Victoria. Will speak to Penelope Leash, host of
Speaker 3: the Mushroom Trials, Say Grace and nine podcast. Not a
Speaker 3: lot we can say, but we can certainly tell you
Speaker 3: what the town of Morwell has been like this last
Speaker 3: period of time. And of course Simon Stephenson for asker
Speaker 3: trading here after the news, which is next.
Speaker 1: Across Australia, it's back to weekends with Luke.
Speaker 3: Grat good morning, hope you well today, Thanks so much
Speaker 3: for having a sign on this Saturday, the fourteenth day
Speaker 3: of June. A sunny day in Sydneytown. A cold start
Speaker 3: of things here and I think it's sunny today and
Speaker 3: tomorrow and Brisbane early twenties some of the weather steaks.
Speaker 3: Well done you in the meantime every one age seven three.
Speaker 3: That's the open line number. The text is zero for
Speaker 3: six zero eight seven three eight seven three and the
Speaker 3: email is two GB dot com, four BC dot com
Speaker 3: dot What are you going to do is click on
Speaker 3: the feedback icon. Penelope Lish, host of the Mushroom Trials
Speaker 3: Save or Say Grace Rather podcast, will join me in
Speaker 3: a moment or two. Plenty of news about today. The
Speaker 3: Queensland CFM EU is staging a coup against its national
Speaker 3: leader after sensational allegations of backdoor deals with the Labor
Speaker 3: Party and the nation's peak union body. This is in
Speaker 3: the Courier Mail. It can be revealed. Queensland delegates unanimously
Speaker 3: passed a vote of no confidence against CFM EU National
Speaker 3: Secretary Zack Smith this week, accusing him of engaging in
Speaker 3: self serving and unilateral dealings with the ACTU. Now it's
Speaker 3: understood delegates involved in in the motion were aligned with
Speaker 3: the former Queensland State Secretary Michael Ravbar and former Assistant
Speaker 3: State Secretary Jade Ingham, who were ousted during the administration takeover.
Speaker 3: Mister Smith, now banished from CFMU Queensland NT meetings, was
Speaker 3: also accused of going behind members backs and dealing with
Speaker 3: the Labor Party in Federal Minister Tony Burke when he
Speaker 3: handled the workplace portfolio. The motion alleged this was done
Speaker 3: quote particularly in circumstances where elected union leaders have been
Speaker 3: removed without proper process or respect from member representation. Members
Speaker 3: cited grave concerns over Smith's conduct and legitimacy and denounced
Speaker 3: his appointment as National Secretary under the federal government imposed
Speaker 3: administration led by Mark Irving Case. And that's on the
Speaker 3: back of a story I was reading yesterday, Nick Mackenzie's
Speaker 3: work in the Sydney Morning Herald. I imagine I'm not sure,
Speaker 3: but it might well be part of a future sixty
Speaker 3: minutes report about the Awu and to see if he'm
Speaker 3: au and a massive wind farm project if time permits,
Speaker 3: I'd love to talk to Nick about that. I don't
Speaker 3: know if we can make it happen this weekend, but
Speaker 3: it's worth keeping an eye ad for it's extraordinary and
Speaker 3: international drug cartel has been caught selling massive amounts of
Speaker 3: fake cocaine to Sydney gangsters, who have then sold it
Speaker 3: to customers on the streets. Police allege the gang of five,
Speaker 3: who were all born in Columbia but traveling on Spanish passports,
Speaker 3: have been arrested with ninety five kilos of what is
Speaker 3: allegedly inner powder passed off as bricks of cocaine. At
Speaker 3: least four major Sydney crime citicates are believed to have
Speaker 3: been duped by the cartel, who purchased large quantities of
Speaker 3: the drug, believing the four men and one female were
Speaker 3: part of an established South American team sent to Australia
Speaker 3: to sell the drugs. The head of the New South
Speaker 3: Wales Organized Crime Squad, Detective Superintendent Peter Vowe, said this
Speaker 3: had the potential to cause enormous conflict on Sydney streets.
Speaker 3: There'd be individuals or syndicates who may take retribution against
Speaker 3: others believing they had been ripped off once it was
Speaker 3: realized the drugs were fake. And how amazing is this?
Speaker 3: The renowned pathologist, Professor Richard Scollier, who had been fortunate
Speaker 3: enough to have on the show, has just completed his
Speaker 3: two hundred and fiftieth Park Run. It was only in
Speaker 3: March when he was told he only had three months
Speaker 3: left to live after his aggressive brain cancer returned. The
Speaker 3: former Australian of the Year was joined by his children,
Speaker 3: his wife Katie, plus other family and friends for the
Speaker 3: milestone at Greenway Park Run in Haberfield. The fifty eight
Speaker 3: year old Professor Scollier reached the finish line of the
Speaker 3: five k run and just under forty minutes fair Dinkham.
Speaker 3: He was cheered by his supporters, including many strangers who'd
Speaker 3: swarmed to see him reach the big two fifty. Here
Speaker 3: is a moment hecross the line. Now he was given
Speaker 3: three months to live. Oh, he's been given well, there's
Speaker 3: no easy and pretty way of saying a death sentences
Speaker 3: all through his journey. If he's just not one of
Speaker 3: the great humans in the history of human existence, it's
Speaker 3: not because he's done two hundred and fifty of these
Speaker 3: park runs. But the dedication to finding solutions to life
Speaker 3: ending illness and all the others. I mean, he's been given.
Speaker 3: He's been gifted. That's not the right word. So many
Speaker 3: reasons just to again not the right word, turn things up.
Speaker 3: He just won't be stopped. He just won't have the
Speaker 3: wind removed from his sails. He just won't. He just can't.
Speaker 3: It's extraordinary, it's so inspirational. I was really honored, quite
Speaker 3: emotional when I spoke to him, because he's just one
Speaker 3: of those people he kind of wish you could be,
Speaker 3: even though he's had such awful health outcomes. The Melanoma
Speaker 3: Institute co director set himself the goal of getting to
Speaker 3: two hundred and fifty runs around the track and have
Speaker 3: a field. At times he didn't think he'd make it,
Speaker 3: but he's defied the odds again. Professor Scollier, we loved
Speaker 3: you so much. You are such a champion. He really is.
Speaker 3: Note from Queensland Police this morning. A man's been charged
Speaker 3: with multiple offenses following an incident in Beachmere early today.
Speaker 3: Emergency services called to a car park on Saint Smith
Speaker 3: Road just before one am. Reports a twenty nine year
Speaker 3: old man was intentionally driving a black Nissan X trail
Speaker 3: of pedestrians. Forty five year old male pedestrians sustained non
Speaker 3: life threatening injuries to his lower body he was struck
Speaker 3: by the Nissan. The vehicle is then alleged to have
Speaker 3: left the scene, but was tracked by police to Old
Speaker 3: Beachmere Road, where a twenty nine year old Kibulche man
Speaker 3: was taken into custody. He's been charged with a variety
Speaker 3: of things, including one count each of assault's occasioning bodily harm.
Speaker 3: He'll be at Kibulcher Magistrate's Court on Monday, June sixteenth.
Speaker 3: Amongst those he did drive under the influence of liquor.
Speaker 3: This report says investigation continue into that one eight seven
Speaker 3: three the number plenty of texts, plenty of emails today
Speaker 3: as well. By the way, the US Open Golf, Adam
Speaker 3: Scott hanging tough inside the top ten and Jason Day
Speaker 3: fired one of the best rounds of the day as
Speaker 3: a leaderboard chaos ensues in the second round. Oakmont continues
Speaker 3: to give the world's best golfers plenty of headaches, as
Speaker 3: the projected cut line currently stands at plus seven thunderstorms
Speaker 3: are predicted to sweep through the course. Sam Burns, who
Speaker 3: fired a stunning five hunder par round of sixty five,
Speaker 3: he leads away at three under overnight leader JJ Spawn
Speaker 3: one shot back after seventy two. Meanwhile, Scott remains an
Speaker 3: even par for the tournament a second straight round of seventy.
Speaker 3: The twenty thirteen Master's champ made three birdies and three bogies,
Speaker 3: as only Burns, Spawn and Victor Hoveland one under, sitting
Speaker 3: above Adam Scott. Go Adam Scott, go get him. Couldn't
Speaker 3: care what I say, but makes me feel better. On
Speaker 3: the text, Peter says the coke buyers took no notice
Speaker 3: from the movies, always testing coke before buying. Peter, Yeah,
Speaker 3: see what you did there. Thank you. Luke was Albo
Speaker 3: suggesting that Melbourne could host the Olympic. Tennis and rowing
Speaker 3: have anything to do with sandbagging support for the past.
Speaker 3: It's used by date labor government in Victoria. Ron interesting observation,
Speaker 3: Thank you so much. I have a number of listeners
Speaker 3: in Victoria who said there's no way we deserve any
Speaker 3: slice of the games here given what we did to
Speaker 3: the Commonwealth Games. Very good point. And this one from
Speaker 3: Noel just something to considers. Sydney's not much further away
Speaker 3: from Brisbane than Rocky and there's no crops at Penrith.
Speaker 3: Not a silly point. Somehow, I've engaged Siri on my device.
Speaker 3: Thankfully I've got the volume down, although sirih sometimes talks
Speaker 3: back to you even when the volumes down. I don't
Speaker 3: understand that. But anyway, yes, I understand what you're saying.
Speaker 3: Cold you could combine the Olympic shooting with the rowing
Speaker 3: and have Olympic shooting on the banks of the river
Speaker 3: at Rocky on the lookout for crocs and if they
Speaker 3: find one or see one and shoot it. Hello bonus points.
Speaker 3: Thank you Noil for getting in touch at seventeen after
Speaker 3: ten o'clock. It is twenty one after ten o'clock. I
Speaker 3: want to go to Molwell now in the Latrobe Valley
Speaker 3: in Victoria, where the trial of accused triple murderer Aaron
Speaker 3: Patterson has been taking place. Now it's the case which
Speaker 3: has obviously guarded global attention. Three guests you'll remember died
Speaker 3: after eating beef Wellington at a lunch in twenty five
Speaker 3: twenty three, and the question posed by many is was
Speaker 3: it murder or a tragic mistake? Both Crown prosecutors and
Speaker 3: defense counsel concluded their cross examination of Miss Patterson during
Speaker 3: the week. No more new evidence, you imagine, will be
Speaker 3: delivered in the trial. The next steps closing arguments from
Speaker 3: both sides that happen before the judge delivers final instructions.
Speaker 3: After that, the fate of the accused rests in the
Speaker 3: hands of the jury, who will deliberate before reaching a verdict. Now,
Speaker 3: as you would understand, there are limitations on what can
Speaker 3: be discussed in relation to the case, and it's critical
Speaker 3: we uphold the fundamental legal principle of an accused accused
Speaker 3: right to a fair trial. But I did want to
Speaker 3: get a sense of what life has been like in
Speaker 3: Morewell whilst this trial has been taking place and global
Speaker 3: attention has been focused on the town. So to help
Speaker 3: us out, Nine News Penelopelesh. Amongst other things, Penelope is
Speaker 3: a co host of the nine podcast The Mushroom Trial.
Speaker 3: Say Grace. Now, I know in Australia we just love
Speaker 3: true crime stories, a true crime coverage and if you
Speaker 3: do nothing else, can I just say to you this
Speaker 3: nine and look we're part of the nine Network. Make
Speaker 3: no secret of that. We love all the things our
Speaker 3: network produce and this podcast is just next level. Anyway,
Speaker 3: Penelopelesh is on the line. Thanks for your time, Thanks
Speaker 3: so much for having me on pleasure. So let's start here.
Speaker 3: Paint a picture of what lifers look like in more
Speaker 3: Well while this trial has been going on. Are the
Speaker 3: queues outside the court? What does that look like?
Speaker 13: Well, we've been in more Well now for the end
Speaker 13: of this week was seven weeks, so more than seven
Speaker 13: weeks now that all of the legal parties have been
Speaker 13: down there and the media as well. It's too and
Speaker 13: a half hours from Melbourne, and it's very cold at
Speaker 13: the moment. I could say it certainly turned but yeah,
Speaker 13: there's definitely been, particularly in the last couple of weeks,
Speaker 13: a lot more members of the public coming to try
Speaker 13: and get a seat in the courtroom and be able
Speaker 13: to sit in that public area of the court. And
Speaker 13: there have been hues outside the courtrooms some mornings, some
Speaker 13: people getting there as early as sort of six seven o'clock,
Speaker 13: five o'clock even in the morning to sort of get
Speaker 13: a spot in the courtroom. And then there's obviously a
Speaker 13: lot of media a lot of local media and media
Speaker 13: from around the world as well who've been coming and
Speaker 13: going at different times.
Speaker 3: So I've seen I think your colleague drew a picture
Speaker 3: of what the courtroom looks like. It's not very big.
Speaker 3: So what happens with in particular the media, Let's start there,
Speaker 3: because I think there'd be more than I don't know
Speaker 3: if a date seats or ten seats, that number of
Speaker 3: media attending. Obviously, what happens with the overspill, Yeah, so
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 13: What you're talking about there, there's been a lot of
Speaker 13: talk about these balloted media seats. There's six media seats
Speaker 13: that are every day put aside specifically for media organizations,
Speaker 13: and they're ballance it off to make sure everyone's sort
Speaker 13: of gets a.
Speaker 6: Fair go there.
Speaker 13: There is a way for media to observe this from
Speaker 13: another room in the courtroom, where there's a live link in,
Speaker 13: so that media can accurately and fairly report what's been
Speaker 13: going on in front of the jury as well. So
Speaker 13: there is that opportunity for media covering this case. But
Speaker 13: most of the time, other than a few days, I've
Speaker 13: been able to usually get a seat somewhere in the
Speaker 13: courtroom and in the public area or squeeze in somewhere.
Speaker 13: People come and go throughout the day and usually there's
Speaker 13: normally a way that you can get a spot sitting
Speaker 13: there for a while.
Speaker 3: And Penelope, have they locals? I know there are people
Speaker 3: that travel around the world or perhaps around Australia to
Speaker 3: look at significant cases. If we've seen this is one,
Speaker 3: it must be. Are the people largely locals from what
Speaker 3: you can make out.
Speaker 13: Yeah, there's been some people that we've sort of spoken to.
Speaker 13: As you go in and out, you all going through
Speaker 13: security lines and things like that, so you sort of
Speaker 13: end up having a chat to people sometimes. Yeah, there
Speaker 13: are a lot of people who are sort of from
Speaker 13: that local gips Land area who have become interested in
Speaker 13: this particular case and they've wanted to sort of come
Speaker 13: and see what's going on. There are definitely people coming
Speaker 13: from Melbourne and further and I think that's one point.
Speaker 13: There have been a few people from interstate as well
Speaker 13: coming to see what's happening. But then of course there's
Speaker 13: a lot of police, there's a lot of lawyers, there's
Speaker 13: a lot of media as well, so it's quite a mixture.
Speaker 3: And is there a space for supporters of people involved
Speaker 3: in the trial or not.
Speaker 13: Yeah, so this is sort of with the balloting of
Speaker 13: the system to make sure that the media don't take
Speaker 13: all the seats or the public don't take all the seats.
Speaker 13: There are sort of rows that they make sure that
Speaker 13: particularly that the family can sit in. Ian Wilkinson, who's
Speaker 13: the only surviving lunch guest, He's been there a lot
Speaker 13: of the days, and a lot of members of his
Speaker 13: family and the Patterson family, they make sure that they
Speaker 13: are able to be there together if they wish to
Speaker 13: be watching this trial.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Now, I know you've been working hard with our
Speaker 3: legal team to understand what we can and can't talk about.
Speaker 3: T plenty of listens saying, oh, come on, have an opinion,
Speaker 3: but that's not what we can do here, and we've
Speaker 3: got restrictions. So what I can ask you, I think
Speaker 3: is one are the key facts of the trials so
Speaker 3: far that have been laid out for souls to see.
Speaker 13: Well, the prosecution alleged that Aaron Patterson deliberately and intentionally
Speaker 13: poisoned her lunch guests. That's the they allegation from them,
Speaker 13: and that's been put to her through cross examination through
Speaker 13: many days on the witness stand. She has finished now,
Speaker 13: but she was on the witness stand across eight days,
Speaker 13: and they put to her many different questions and allegations,
Speaker 13: accusing her of deliberately foraging for deathcap mushrooms and then
Speaker 13: putting them in this meal. She's also it's been alleged
Speaker 13: by the prosecution that she told these in laws, these
Speaker 13: family members that she had or might have a cancer
Speaker 13: diagnosis in order to get them to come to her home. Now,
Speaker 13: the defense argues this was a tragic accident, that Aaron
Speaker 13: Patterson was not aware there was anything of any concern
Speaker 13: in this meal, that she made a beef well in
Speaker 13: term for her loved ones, that she realized in the
Speaker 13: days afterwards that perhaps some dried mushrooms that she'd added,
Speaker 13: that there was a possibility. She says that it crossed
Speaker 13: her mind that there could have been some foraged mushrooms
Speaker 13: in that mix, that she could have they could have
Speaker 13: accidentally got mixed up. But she says she never deliberately
Speaker 13: searched for or gathered deathcat mushrooms, that she never deliberately
Speaker 13: put anything poisonous into this dish, and that when her
Speaker 13: loved ones began to fall ill, she says she also
Speaker 13: fell ill and she panicked, she says, after there was
Speaker 13: an allegation from her estranged husband and this sort of
Speaker 13: all crossed her mind, And she says it was in
Speaker 13: that panic and in the concern that she might lose
Speaker 13: her children that she got rid of her dehydrator, not
Speaker 13: knowing that that necessarily there had been anything in this
Speaker 13: meal that was a problem, but that she was concerned
Speaker 13: and she sort of started to do the getting rid
Speaker 13: of the dehydrator and then also wiping her phone. She
Speaker 13: says she factory reset a phone because she was concerned
Speaker 13: that there could be sort of some images on a
Speaker 13: device of her dehydrating mushrooms. But she said she had
Speaker 13: a love of mushrooms, and she's spoken about that a
Speaker 13: lot on the stand, especially with her defense barrister, that
Speaker 13: she developed this in foraging different fungi back around the
Speaker 13: lockdown time twenty twenty, and that she had been doing
Speaker 13: that and adding them to her food and her children's
Speaker 13: food for some time because she did quite enjoy the
Speaker 13: taste of mushrooms and that was just part of the
Speaker 13: way that she cooks. But she denies that she ever
Speaker 13: deliberately poisoned anyone.
Speaker 3: So what lies ahead, we've got closing arguments and then
Speaker 3: I guess deliberation.
Speaker 13: Yeah, so the next step will be now that Aaron
Speaker 13: Patterson has left the stand. The defense confirmed with the
Speaker 13: judge late this week that he has closed his case,
Speaker 13: so there's no more evidence to be called. The next
Speaker 13: part will be those closing arguments. As you mentioned, the
Speaker 13: jury has been told that they will take a couple
Speaker 13: of days, possibly for both sides, so that is expected
Speaker 13: to be a relatively lengthy time frame, and then the
Speaker 13: judge will have to give his charge, which is the
Speaker 13: instructions that every jury is given in every case by
Speaker 13: the judge presiding over that as to sort of how
Speaker 13: to read some legal elements of this case. And the
Speaker 13: judge told the jury late this week to have a
Speaker 13: long weekend, that there were some elements that he needed
Speaker 13: to look at for that and between the parties, and
Speaker 13: that the jury didn't need to be.
Speaker 14: There for that.
Speaker 13: So they'll come back on Monday at ten thirty and
Speaker 13: exactly what happens next it will be the closing arguments
Speaker 13: before the jury. As to whether that happens exactly on
Speaker 13: Monday morning or it's a little bit later, we'll have to.
Speaker 6: Wait and see.
Speaker 3: Okay, So it sounds again just speculating, but if there's
Speaker 3: two days of wrapping up from both sides, the jury
Speaker 3: may not even begin their deliberations until the week after
Speaker 3: next that's got to be a possibility.
Speaker 13: Yeah, so the jury has been told a week or
Speaker 13: so ago by the judge of these sort of estimated lengths,
Speaker 13: and he very much said, I don't want to put
Speaker 13: an exact timeframe on it, you know, obviously things can
Speaker 13: always change at different times, but yeah, we are expecting
Speaker 13: it to be quite a few days.
Speaker 7: So it could still be.
Speaker 13: Another week before the jury go out and deliberate. And
Speaker 13: they've certainly been told by the judge already. But whenever
Speaker 13: they do that, that is entirely he said, the shoot
Speaker 13: who's on the other sort? For how long they take
Speaker 13: compared to how long these other elements have taken. So
Speaker 13: this all could be going on for quite a while yet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can listen to the Mushroom Trials, Say Grace
Speaker 3: wherever you get your podcasts. It's a nine podcast. It's brilliant.
Speaker 3: Penelope Lish, thank you so much for your time.

Speaker 3: death threats and sending abusive messages to Newcastle winger James Schiller.
Speaker 3: Shiller was a victim of horrific abuse on his social
Speaker 3: media account following Newcastle's win against the Seagulls last week

Speaker 3: but it's absolutely appalling. Late mccrorarie Detectives launched an investigation
Speaker 3: into the incident after Schiller was rattled by police by
Speaker 3: the abuse. I would say understandingly having the chance to
Speaker 3: read it. It led to police arresting a twenty year

Speaker 3: nineteen thirty nine and with Sydney's largest kitchen showrooms and
Speaker 3: free in home design surveys. Simon Stephenson's in the studio
Speaker 3: one three, one eight seven three to ask him a
Speaker 3: question on the open line. Any diy question you have,
Speaker 3: No job is too big or too small and there's
Speaker 3: no silly questions here. One three one eight seven three.
Speaker 3: Hi mate, you well, I'm good mate, yourself very well, indeed,
Speaker 3: very well. Indeed we're going to start today by talking
Speaker 3: about painting difficult surfaces for example a tile, yep, and
Speaker 3: other things. I mean you hear about people and we've
Speaker 3: talked about it before. Freshening the kitchen cupboards. So look,
Speaker 3: get you've got to use the right paint would be
Speaker 3: the right place to start.
Speaker 15: The right paint has a lot to do with it
Speaker 15: and using a good quality paint, using something that you
Speaker 15: can afford, the best you can afford, because you know
Speaker 15: the labor doing it all and all, the preparation is
Speaker 15: the is the costly, most expensive part about it, and
Speaker 15: the bit that takes you the longest, So using the
Speaker 15: best quality paint. But a friend of mine sent me
Speaker 15: some photos this week of a bathroom that you know,
Speaker 15: was painted by somebody, and the paint was all peeling
Speaker 15: off the tiles and things like that, and I just said, look,
Speaker 15: most importantly, where you painting areas like that. It could
Speaker 15: be a kitchen, could be a bathroom. Whatever is that preparation.
Speaker 15: It's sanding surfaces and cleaning them thoroughly, because no paint's
Speaker 15: going to stick over soap scum, greasy fingerprints. You know,
Speaker 15: you might not see what's on that surface. Yeah, but
Speaker 15: there's definitely something there.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 15: Handrails, I couldn't tell you the amount of times I've
Speaker 15: gone to handrails that people have painted over. You know,
Speaker 15: people walk up and down those handrails with their hands
Speaker 15: over them all the time. There's so much debris on there,
Speaker 15: it's just insane. So yeah, spend the time sand it,
Speaker 15: clean it, and then do that preparation right from the
Speaker 15: get go, and you shouldn't have a problem as long
Speaker 15: as you're using the right paint.
Speaker 3: So with a tile, and we talk here in nor
Speaker 3: Glass advertised with it's about nor cleanep So with a tile,
Speaker 3: is that something you would typically sand first? Or are
Speaker 3: there paints that have really strong adhesion to something like
Speaker 3: a time.
Speaker 8: Look, they do have strong adhesion.
Speaker 15: The one we use from nor Glass is their ship
Speaker 15: shaped primer.
Speaker 8: It's a two pack primer.
Speaker 15: They've also got a single pack primer as well that
Speaker 15: sticks really really well. Paints have come a long way
Speaker 15: in the past sort of ten twenty years, but again, nothing,
Speaker 15: even those good quality paints that stick real well won't
Speaker 15: stick to a surface if it's not prepared properly. So
Speaker 15: with a tile, give it a light sand. You're not
Speaker 15: going to scratch the surface a whole lot, but give
Speaker 15: it a light sand anyway, with a sanding sponge or
Speaker 15: a really fine grit wet and dry sandpaper and then
Speaker 15: clean it thoroughly. And that nor Clean really good. And
Speaker 15: you change your cloths regularly so you're not using a
Speaker 15: cloth that's got all the dirt on it that you've
Speaker 15: just washed off, and just keep using that same one
Speaker 15: until it's black or something like that.
Speaker 3: It's a great cloth. I've had it for ten years
Speaker 3: still does. Actually it's working well on the handrail. This
Speaker 3: is self indulgent Luki at play here, because I've got
Speaker 3: a handrail now, a timber one. Is that something that
Speaker 3: you would clean with the nor Clean product or doesn't
Speaker 3: need to be that. I don't want to say harsh,
Speaker 3: but something.
Speaker 15: Yeah, look nor Clean clean or even a sugar soap,
Speaker 15: you know, sugar soaping it from the hardware store, paint stores.
Speaker 15: You know, sugar soap's been around for many years, and
Speaker 15: it will break down that grease as well, and you
Speaker 15: can give it a really good clean and then rinse
Speaker 15: it and make sure you get all the sugar soap
Speaker 15: debris off from that as well.
Speaker 3: Not that I have early hands, but there might be
Speaker 3: someone in my place that does get it. Peter, Yes,
Speaker 3: good morning morning.
Speaker 9: Look Simon, I have a place in Saint Susey with
Speaker 9: the aluminium railey. It's few years old and the black
Speaker 9: color which was originally powder coated on the aluminium in
Speaker 9: places where they welded the joint, that's got no color there.
Speaker 9: Can you please tell me what very much what you
Speaker 9: do is and how can I either spray flat black
Speaker 9: or brush flat black on? And none of these places.
Speaker 15: All right, And why are flat black? I wouldn't be
Speaker 15: using on a railing outside. It's aluminum, you're saying. I
Speaker 15: would think you should using a satin finish and not.
Speaker 8: A flat black. So yeah, so use a saturn.
Speaker 15: Look that there's lots of spray cans now that will
Speaker 15: go directly onto a surface like that, and Rustolium do
Speaker 15: make one. So if you go to your local hardware store,
Speaker 15: look at the spray cans. And I used one a
Speaker 15: few weeks ago that had like a dial on it
Speaker 15: and you could change the setting of the spray not
Speaker 15: on your spray can and it was fantastic. So you know,
Speaker 15: Rustolium do make some good products there. If you want
Speaker 15: to brush it, then I'd be going to something like
Speaker 15: the nor Glass products as well. You can look at that,
Speaker 15: but there's a few different options there cleaning, sanding, and
Speaker 15: preparing that surface first, making sure there's no oxidization with
Speaker 15: that aluminum. But then you can go ahead and with
Speaker 15: either a spray can or a brush.
Speaker 3: Is well, let's ask is spraying easier, quicker give you
Speaker 3: a better result?
Speaker 8: Look, you're going to get a really nice result with
Speaker 8: a spray can. You know it's just you've got to
Speaker 8: mask up.
Speaker 15: You've got to make sure that you're protecting the surfaces
Speaker 15: around you, of course, and definitely don't do it on
Speaker 15: a windy day, you know. Just you've got to pick
Speaker 15: the right time and work out whether it's going to
Speaker 15: be easier to do that with a spray can.
Speaker 3: All right, good luck you, Peter. Morning Sandra. How can
Speaker 3: we help you?
Speaker 7: Good morning?
Speaker 16: Look, Good morning, Simon.
Speaker 14: Morning Simon.
Speaker 16: Last month I heard you talking about the nor Glass
Speaker 16: product for kitchen bench tops, and I'm just revamping my
Speaker 16: kitchen and I bought the nor Glass product, the to
Speaker 16: pack primer and the nor Sane finished code. I've painted
Speaker 16: many things over the years, but I would like a
Speaker 16: professional painter, one experienced with this. I did send you
Speaker 16: a couple of messages, one through your website and then
Speaker 16: one through your email over the last few weeks, but
Speaker 16: I haven't received the reply yet.
Speaker 3: Sorry.
Speaker 8: I don't know. It might have gone into my spam.
Speaker 15: I will check those emails and I will respond to
Speaker 15: those today for you.
Speaker 8: Okay, So but.
Speaker 15: Look, I'll see if I can find somebody has your
Speaker 15: emails told me what area you live in?
Speaker 16: Yes, I live in Croydon.
Speaker 15: Park, Okay, I will I will check those emails today
Speaker 15: and see I'll get back to you.
Speaker 3: And you know what, Sandra, just on that point I
Speaker 3: think she makes and you and I have talked about
Speaker 3: this off air. I had to be honest with you.
Speaker 3: I'm a bit hesitant to use two pack yep only
Speaker 3: because I don't want to screw up the mixing of it.
Speaker 3: And you know you normally take the lid off and
Speaker 3: you know your paints after preparing. Of course, yes, but
Speaker 3: the two pack is a challenge for I think anyone,
Speaker 3: a lot of di wives. Robert got that wrong? Is
Speaker 3: that just Sandra?
Speaker 15: Look, I think I think it's really important to just
Speaker 15: sit down, spend ten minutes and read the instructions because
Speaker 15: and especially like go onto the nor Glass website and
Speaker 15: look at the PDFs that they have and they'll give
Speaker 15: you all the information about mixing. And as long as
Speaker 15: you're mixing, the ratio is right and usually it's like
Speaker 15: a two part of one to a one part of
Speaker 15: the other. And as long as you're measuring, and you
Speaker 15: can buy measuring cups that actually have the markers on
Speaker 15: them so you know where to fill to and then
Speaker 15: when you stir, you stir the product up, you let
Speaker 15: it sit for ten minutes before you start to use it,
Speaker 15: and then give it another stir, and that gives that
Speaker 15: time to react to the product.
Speaker 8: And the most.
Speaker 15: Important thing is wearing respirators and making sure that you
Speaker 15: protect yourself that way. But look, applying the paint itself
Speaker 15: is not really any more difficult than painting with a
Speaker 15: regular water based paint or something. Is just that time
Speaker 15: to sit down and mixing and getting it right that way.
Speaker 3: And I think if you've got, say you've got a
Speaker 3: little area to do and you end up with a
Speaker 3: leader of paint and you want to think, now, how
Speaker 3: do I keep half of this? I'm not going to
Speaker 3: even need half of this because you know some of
Speaker 3: the some of the products aren't aren't cheap, No, because
Speaker 3: they're very good. Absolutely can you do that? Use half
Speaker 3: of it, use half of it and keep half of them?
Speaker 8: Yeah, absolutely you can.
Speaker 15: So yeah, you just again you're mixing the amount you
Speaker 15: need with a measuring cup.
Speaker 8: That's right, the measuring cup, so you don't use it.
Speaker 15: And when you put the lids back on, make sure
Speaker 15: you clean the little grooves out where the lid goes
Speaker 15: back on, so they're not full of paint, so just
Speaker 15: and don't contaminate the two products, you know, make sure
Speaker 15: you just clean and just take your time.
Speaker 3: Is it possible? And we've got to take a break.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry to occupy this time, but I think everyone
Speaker 3: would have this problem. Is it possible to pour a
Speaker 3: can of paint into a roller tray without it going
Speaker 3: dripping down the side of the can. What's the trick?
Speaker 13: Look?
Speaker 3: Not really.
Speaker 15: I think the quickest way is be quick about tipping
Speaker 15: it and quick about the returners. Well, right, so it's
Speaker 15: not like you know, if you take your time, you
Speaker 15: think about it, you're tipping your can of paint. If
Speaker 15: you go back slowly, it's just going to run right
Speaker 15: down the side. So just be a little bit faster
Speaker 15: at both right and obviously taking your time at it.
Speaker 3: Okay, it's twelve to eleven. Back in a second. Just
Speaker 3: a couple of texts before we get back to callers.
Speaker 3: Mitch tells us the rustolium spray is amazing, but you
Speaker 3: shouldn't mix it with other brands. So if you put
Speaker 3: it clear over due lux is that your experience is
Speaker 3: serving Mitchell, that's.
Speaker 15: It, because look, when you don't know what the component
Speaker 15: is that makes up that spray cand So it might
Speaker 15: not be compatible with the undercoat you use, and it
Speaker 15: could fry what I call fry the paint. So if
Speaker 15: you use an undercoat that's incompatible and you use something
Speaker 15: else over the top of it, the paint can all
Speaker 15: like it fries up and becomes all crinkly.
Speaker 8: It just means the.
Speaker 15: Thinner that's used in the top coat is reacting with
Speaker 15: the paint that's underneath. So try to keep with a
Speaker 15: product that's made by the same company.
Speaker 3: All right, now, Rosie's there, roll, oh Rosie, what's your
Speaker 3: question for the boy? What song was that? Jon? Armor Training?
Speaker 14: Bye?
Speaker 3: Rosy called a lunatic? Sorry, what's the question.
Speaker 7: I've got a glass sliding door that's not sliding very well.
Speaker 7: It's causing like fiction on the bottom of the track.
Speaker 7: So I was wondering is there something that could be
Speaker 7: fixed or would I need to have the door replaced.
Speaker 15: So generally it's a quick, quite a simple fix. If
Speaker 15: you've got somebody that's handy in the house, you literally
Speaker 15: lift the door up. It will come off the track itself, so.
Speaker 8: You get hold of either side of the door.
Speaker 15: Two people is handy lift the door, pop it off
Speaker 15: the track and turn it on its side, and there
Speaker 15: will be two wheels, one either side, and it's generally
Speaker 15: one screw to undo that wheel. And you can go
Speaker 15: down the hardware and buy a matching wheel exactly the
Speaker 15: same and just pop it straight back in place.
Speaker 3: So it's a really.
Speaker 8: Quite simple job to do, so not that difficult.
Speaker 15: If you go online look at some videos that you
Speaker 15: know show you how to do it.
Speaker 8: It's it's a really really easy job.
Speaker 7: All right, Thank you so much for that.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Rosie. And just so that people don't think
Speaker 3: I am a leone to tick the song I was
Speaker 3: referring to, see, I used to be a jock in
Speaker 3: the old days. Hands good morning, How can we help you?
Speaker 3: Good morning morning.

Speaker 3: kitchen cupboards, lifting around the edges, catching on cupboards when opening.
Speaker 3: Best way to stick down these edges please.
Speaker 15: Using a contact adhesive and you'll put glue on both surfaces,
Speaker 15: allow it to sit for about twenty minutes, and then
Speaker 15: push them together and it will glue instantly. And that's
Speaker 15: what they generally use for those edging.

Speaker 3: Court on Monday twenty first of July, and no one
Speaker 3: was injured during the incident. Look, you know, we're only human,
Speaker 3: As Billy Joel famously said, we're supposed to make mistakes.
Speaker 3: But how long does it take for the message to
Speaker 3: get through?
Speaker 10: You know?
Speaker 3: There are times where you might be enjoying the allegedly
Speaker 3: it might be enjoying the beverage. And you know if
Speaker 3: you have a couple that you've got to call time. Okay, Well,
Speaker 3: I enjoyed the bed rich and the price I pay
Speaker 3: is I simply can't put the key in the ignition
Speaker 3: and drive, is it? How's that not easily understood by everyone.
Speaker 3: Quantus has been crowned the world's safest airline, with its
Speaker 3: pilots considered the best trained, most disciplined, and most professional
Speaker 3: in the industry. The study conducted by forty two kft
Speaker 3: dot com analyzing one hundred and forty two airline carriers
Speaker 3: across the globe. Quantus was named the leader for airline safety.
Speaker 3: Editor in chief Jeffrey Thomas good Man. Jeffrey said the
Speaker 3: airline safety performance was unmatched according to independent orders. He
Speaker 3: says Quantus pilots are considered the best train most disciplined,
Speaker 3: and most professional. The airline has led nearly every significant
Speaker 3: operational safety advance over the past sixty years. The second
Speaker 3: safest airline Qatar, followed by Air New Zealand, Cathay Pacific
Speaker 3: and Emirates Virgin Australia. Was named the sixth safest, with
Speaker 3: Jetstar named the second safest low cost airline. HK Express
Speaker 3: the leader in the top five low cost airline groups,
Speaker 3: followed by Jetstar, Easy Jet, Ryanair and Air Asia. Mister
Speaker 3: Thomas said the top safest airlines were separated by narrow margins.
Speaker 3: He says, unlike traditional safety assessments that rely on certification checkboxes,
Speaker 3: his site uses a dynamic data driven methodology quantas. Australia's
Speaker 3: recorded its best ever gender equality ranking in a major
Speaker 3: global report, but the government's being warned not to restaurans
Speaker 3: laurels I saw this on social media yesterday. Tanya Plibersek
Speaker 3: was saying how good After facing twenty fourth the year prior.
Speaker 3: In the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report, Australia
Speaker 3: has jumped eleven places and is now thirteenth out of
Speaker 3: one hundred and forty eight countries. It is Australia's best
Speaker 3: results since the report began in two thousand and six,
Speaker 3: and a far cry from our record low fiftieth place
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty one. That was when that evil Scott
Speaker 3: Morrison was Prime Minister. No worries. The ranking jump is
Speaker 3: attributed to improvements in female political empowerment, economic participation and
Speaker 3: educational attainment. Australia ranked well in education, with joint first
Speaker 3: in literacy rates, primary education enrollment and university enrollment. Minister
Speaker 3: for Women Katie Gallagher said it was a fantastic result
Speaker 3: when the alban Easy Labor government was first elected in
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two, she said said that improving the lives
Speaker 3: of women and girls was one of our key focuses
Speaker 3: and today's was old our best ever shows we're delivering
Speaker 3: on that commitment, said Senator Gallagher. Well, once again we
Speaker 3: look great on the global stage. If we could just
Speaker 3: afford to pay our bills occasionally, that would just make
Speaker 3: things so much better. Hashtag just saying. Now it's coming
Speaker 3: up to thirteen after eleven o'clock. It's a time each
Speaker 3: Saturday where we catch up with Leith van Onslin see
Speaker 3: if economists at the NB Fund NB Super from Macrobusiness
Speaker 3: dot com dot au. We are asking of late Leith
Speaker 3: to come up with a economic clown or economic champion.
Speaker 3: Each week. We've had a couple of clowns. We're about
Speaker 3: to get to a champion in a moment or two,
Speaker 3: but not before we get to talk about Australia facing
Speaker 3: energy armageddon? How am my friend? I hope you will?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Did I work? Yeah? Well awkward DWN your face might
Speaker 6: about yourself?
Speaker 3: Yeah, not too bad at all, not too bad at all.
Speaker 3: The question of our energy crisis, and it is, I
Speaker 3: think in the minds of many crisis. I don't know
Speaker 3: where it was during the election campaign. I don't want
Speaker 3: to revisit that at all, but I mean, what's going
Speaker 3: on here? Is it simply the fact that the government
Speaker 3: collects tax from workers and gives it back to workers
Speaker 3: and the way of some kind of assistance to pay
Speaker 3: their power bills? Is that why people don't see the
Speaker 3: train coming or what? Is it? Because we're in an
Speaker 3: ale of a mess?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 6: Absolutely mate. So anyone who pays an electricy bill or
Speaker 6: a gas bill knows that that knows that your bills
Speaker 6: are surged. And the only reason why we've had any
Speaker 6: relief is because the government stled out billions of dollars
Speaker 6: of our own money, like basically returned our taxes in
Speaker 6: short term subsidies. But it's not fixing the underlying problem. Now,
Speaker 6: as you all know, the Albanese governments set a ridiculously
Speaker 6: unreal realistic target of having eighty two percent of Australias
Speaker 6: electricity generated by renewables by twenty thirty Now, if we're
Speaker 6: going to do that, it means we obviously need to
Speaker 6: shut down our coal fire generation pretty much.
Speaker 10: Now.
Speaker 6: Some of Australia's states have gone even further. So you know,
Speaker 6: while I live in the clown state of Victoria, Victoria's
Speaker 6: legislator ninety five percent renewal easy target by twenty thirty five,
Speaker 6: so that's just in a decade. South Australia has set
Speaker 6: a one hundred percent renewable energy target by twenty twenty seven,
Speaker 6: so that's in two years right now. These targets are
Speaker 6: completely you know, are logical. They defy reality. And the
Speaker 6: reason for that, Luke, is that renewable energy is weather
Speaker 6: dependent and it's intermittent and it cannot be relied upon
Speaker 6: to provide power whenever it's needed. And we actually witnessed
Speaker 6: that this week because Eastern Australia, as is so often
Speaker 6: during winter. It happened last year in New South Wales,
Speaker 6: the entire Eastern Australia, so talking you know, Brisbane, New
Speaker 6: South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and act it experienced a
Speaker 6: wind drought and it lasted for days on the end.
Speaker 6: Now what a wind drought is, As I said, this
Speaker 6: often happens during winter. It's when you basically have very
Speaker 6: low wind, which means you get very low wind wind
Speaker 6: generation from wind turbines. And this is coincided with obviously
Speaker 6: being winter where you got shorter days and you get
Speaker 6: less sunshine, so you obviously get less solar. Now let's
Speaker 6: you get some data here which have pulled off the
Speaker 6: National Energy Market which is basically the federal government's website
Speaker 6: which tracks where all energy comes from. And it showed
Speaker 6: that in the forty eight hours between eleventh and twelfth
Speaker 6: for June, and to be honest with that, I could
Speaker 6: have picked the twelfth or thirteenth of June. But you know,
Speaker 6: when I was writing this up, a good of replaced
Speaker 6: this with another set which said exactly the same thing.
Speaker 6: The wind and solar combined over that forty eight hours
Speaker 6: provided only fourteen percent of Australias electricity generation because we
Speaker 6: had the wind rout and battery STORYGE only provided one percent, right,
Speaker 6: so it's fifteen percent if you count batteries. Now. Fossil fuels,
Speaker 6: on the other hand, because we are in the middle
Speaker 6: of winter, provided seventy four percent of Eastern Australias electricity
Speaker 6: generation and the forty eight hour period. Now that that
Speaker 6: is coal sixty percent and gas. I've left hydra out
Speaker 6: of there because hydro you can't we can't scale it up.
Speaker 6: It's just basically it's there every day. But the fact
Speaker 6: matter is that the federal government wants to get rid
Speaker 6: of our coal and gas, well coal through to a
Speaker 6: pronominally in the next few years, and replace it with
Speaker 6: this renewable stuff. But the renewable stuff doesn't supply when
Speaker 6: we need it. And this was shown this week and
Speaker 6: for example, at seven to fifty pm on Thursday night,
Speaker 6: when obviously the sun had gone down, only three percent
Speaker 6: of it the whole Eastern Australia's electricity generation was came
Speaker 6: from wind. The solar was zero obviously because there's no sun,
Speaker 6: and batteries only provided two percent. This is a seven
Speaker 6: to fifty This is a snapshot. Meanwhile, coal fifty four percent,
Speaker 6: gas twenty three percent combined to contributed seventy seven percent
Speaker 6: of Eastern Australias generation. So theilarious thing here, Luke is
Speaker 6: earlier this week in Victoria under I'm using Victoria obviously
Speaker 6: not talking to Victorian audience, but this is relevant. Victoria
Speaker 6: experienced an unexpected outage at one of its old coal
Speaker 6: fire generators and it basically led to the renewables lobby
Speaker 6: coming out saying, see, coal's unreliable. Therefore we need to
Speaker 6: expand renewables and to get off coal because coal cannot
Speaker 6: be trusted because there was a breakdown. Right, So there's
Speaker 6: this outfit I call them a propaganda said renew economy.
Speaker 6: They just write, let's garbage about renewables all the time
Speaker 6: and just integrate any sort of fossil fills. And they
Speaker 6: wrote an article which said, quote the your lawn coal
Speaker 6: plant outage quote underscores the urgent need to build enough
Speaker 6: solar wind and storage to replace them, and hoglights the
Speaker 6: folly of sweating aging coal assets past the years by dates.
Speaker 6: That's a direct quote. Now. Hilariously, when this article came out,
Speaker 6: the muppet who wrote this wrote it during a wind
Speaker 6: rout when the renewables clap crashed almost zero and they
Speaker 6: couldn't see the Yeah, they couldn't see the irony that
Speaker 6: they're calling coal unreliable because there was a outage one
Speaker 6: of the generators. When literally we had a wind drought
Speaker 6: and wind the solar combined, we're providing buger or electricity.
Speaker 6: And the reality here, Luke, is that the most unreliable
Speaker 6: part of the energy system is actually intermittent weather dependent renewables,
Speaker 6: because the only work when the sun shines, the wind blows,
Speaker 6: and we never know when the wind's going to blow,
Speaker 6: and the sun only shines through the middle of day injury,
Speaker 6: and if it's overcast you get very little of it.
Speaker 6: Yet yet the government and these lobby groups and everyone
Speaker 6: are trying to say we need to get rid of
Speaker 6: us stable baseload power and just basically rely on the wind,
Speaker 6: which may or may not arrive and the sun, which
Speaker 6: obviously during winter is pretty unreliable. And these same people
Speaker 6: won't admit it that aging coal fire power plants remain
Speaker 6: the foundation of the country's electricity supply, and that was
Speaker 6: proven this week when renewables failed and they could not
Speaker 6: cover the gap. It's crazy stuff, mate, And so what's
Speaker 6: what I've been saying over and over again is instead
Speaker 6: of going down this road, we need reliable base low
Speaker 6: power otherwise we will literally face blackouts and soaring energy prices.
Speaker 6: Now the way I see, we've got two options. First
Speaker 6: of all, we could replace or refurbish the existing coal
Speaker 6: fire generators, so they obviously do need renovation. They're very old,
Speaker 6: et cetera. But they're already all the transmissions already built, right,
Speaker 6: so all the infrastructure is already there. But yes, they
Speaker 6: do need some work, and that honestly is my favorite option.
Speaker 3: Look, I'm with you. I you know, I was drinking
Speaker 3: the I don't want to say the nuclear cool aid,
Speaker 3: but I will because I understand. Then you can just
Speaker 3: go your hardest and have generation, knowing it to missions free,
Speaker 3: if that's a thing, had that everywhere. But look, I
Speaker 3: think that argument, that argument was probably lost. It was
Speaker 3: probably lost on misinformation and poor salesmanship. It seems to
Speaker 3: me our only option. And again you know the mother
Speaker 3: law scare campaigns, but you don't have to do much
Speaker 3: efficiency lower mission coal. And if people are so worried
Speaker 3: about the emissions that come from coal, then whatever we
Speaker 3: burn here reduce what reduce what we export by that,
Speaker 3: and that might even touch asides, but that we don't
Speaker 3: have to rewire anything that's a trillion dollars potentially. This
Speaker 3: to me is a no brainer.
Speaker 6: I'm with you, yeah, one hundred percent. So so the
Speaker 6: fact matter is, yes, coal is carbon intensive, one hundred
Speaker 6: percent is. But Australia exports five times as much coal
Speaker 6: as we as we can shoot in domestically, So why
Speaker 6: not just export a little bit less and burn more
Speaker 6: ourselves and the world's climate would be no worse off? Right, No,
Speaker 6: But then again I actually think we should probably gain
Speaker 6: the nuclear road as well. You know that it'll take
Speaker 6: a while, but do obviously, because you know, nuclear is
Speaker 6: the only way to achieve lower emissions and stay more
Speaker 6: reliable power. Like, the only way you can get both
Speaker 6: is through nuclear, because you can run a twenty four
Speaker 6: to seven. It's not whether dependent, it's zero emission. Yes,
Speaker 6: the upfront are very high, but so are renewables and
Speaker 6: storage and renewables and storage sorry j mating batteries and
Speaker 6: you know, building pump high dress stations and this sort
Speaker 6: of stuff. That stuff is completely unreliable and intermit and
Speaker 6: it's going to cost a bomb, whereas we could actually
Speaker 6: just build some nuclear generators where some of the old
Speaker 6: coal fried generators were, where there's transmission lines and that
Speaker 6: sort of thing. Yes, it will cost a lot of money,
Speaker 6: but you know it's going to be stable. It'll give
Speaker 6: you a sixty year lifespan, whereas renewables have to be replaced,
Speaker 6: you know, fifteen to twenty years, so you have to
Speaker 6: keep replacing them. You batteries you've got to turn over
Speaker 6: all the time. You know, win a solar and wind
Speaker 6: turbines don't last more than twenty years, so that the
Speaker 6: environmental footprint of nuclear is way better. You know, one
Speaker 6: Bunton sized warehouse sized generator can create the same amount
Speaker 6: of energy is probably you know, four hundred plus wind
Speaker 6: turbines which are spread out all over the place and
Speaker 6: need concrete footings. You need to clear a whole one
Speaker 6: to land. All the resources that go into that is insane. Now,
Speaker 6: it was very interesting this weekluk so UK has gone
Speaker 6: down the same NED zero delusion as US, and they've
Speaker 6: got a guy called Ed Milliban who's their energy minister.
Speaker 6: He's just like Chris Bowen, he's an absolute zealot. But
Speaker 6: even the UK came out at the start of the
Speaker 6: week and they said that the renewables aren't working properly,
Speaker 6: it's not reliable, so we're going to build out nuclear.
Speaker 6: So even the UK has gone down this road and
Speaker 6: Ed Millerban, who's just as much of a Zealot as
Speaker 6: Chris Bowen said, he declared quote a golden age for
Speaker 6: British Britain's nuclear industry. So so how is that Australia,
Speaker 6: that holds the world's largest deposits of uranium, has banned
Speaker 6: nuclear power in banded nuclear is the source of generation
Speaker 6: when these other countries, like pretty much everywhere else in
Speaker 6: the world bar us in New Zealand, are going down
Speaker 6: to the nucular raid. We literally have the world's biggest
Speaker 6: deposits of uranium, so we could go down this road
Speaker 6: and we've got there, the second biggest. So we're the
Speaker 6: biggest coal exporter in the world, so we could be
Speaker 6: doing that as well, and we're obviously one of the biggest,
Speaker 6: the second biggest gas export. But we didn't think there's
Speaker 6: cheapid thing here because that we deny our selves access
Speaker 6: to our own energy, our own coal, our own gas,
Speaker 6: and our own uranium. Yes, and we sell all this
Speaker 6: stuff to the rest of the world. We give the
Speaker 6: rest of the world cheap energy, and then we starve
Speaker 6: ourselves and then we you know, and then we say
Speaker 6: oh no, no, we know we can't burn this stuff.
Speaker 6: We've got to go down this renewables road, which which
Speaker 6: in times of winter when there's not much sun, or
Speaker 6: we have these wind routs which happened regularly, they just
Speaker 6: don't work.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's crazy, It is crazy. It is crazy. And
Speaker 3: the best in interests and the you know, the people
Speaker 3: with Daddy's billions who get the government subsidies in the
Speaker 3: billions and just make the easy ride. I mean, there'll
Speaker 3: be a day. Tell me who the champion of the
Speaker 3: week is. I think we've got some champions time music gets.
Speaker 3: Who have you gone with, mate.
Speaker 6: Mate, I've gone with journalists Chris Willman. Yes, now you
Speaker 6: know former ABSC Now he does some stuff with Sky
Speaker 6: and some others. But the yeah, mate, Christi Wilman gave
Speaker 6: a fantastic he's been right on this energy stuff and
Speaker 6: he's done excellent work, done a great documentaries, et cetera.
Speaker 6: And anyway, it was on the John Anderson podcast a
Speaker 6: week ago, and I watched the whole thing and it
Speaker 6: was fantastic, and he actually predicted pretty much what happened
Speaker 6: this week, right, so literally a week before it happened.
Speaker 6: He said that he said basically I tell you what's
Speaker 6: going to happen to the East Coast energy market. We
Speaker 6: are running our last coal fire power plants about as
Speaker 6: hard as we can, is what he said. He said,
Speaker 6: one day, when the sun's not shining and the wind's
Speaker 6: not blowing, and probably in the middle of winter, when
Speaker 6: it's really quite cold, one of those big coal fire
Speaker 6: power plants is going to give out. It will break
Speaker 6: because the stress it's under. And then we'll see the
Speaker 6: energy ministers come out and say, see we told you
Speaker 6: old power break down. You know, we need more renewables,
Speaker 6: that sort of thing. And that is exactly what happened
Speaker 6: this week, all right. So so one of you know,
Speaker 6: as I said, Victoria's coal generators went down. The renewables
Speaker 6: lobby came out and said straight away, see Cole's unreliable.
Speaker 6: This is why we need more renewables. And this is
Speaker 6: exactly what Chris Juman predicted a link before it happened,
Speaker 6: and it has played out exactly as he said. And
Speaker 6: you know, anyone who wants to learn more on this topic,
Speaker 6: I highly you know, recommend that you go on YouTube,
Speaker 6: for example, and search for Chris Human and renewables and
Speaker 6: power and energy and that sort of things. He's done
Speaker 6: some fantastic work in the areas.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he really has. Right, mate, have a great weekend,
Speaker 3: take care, talk to you in a week's time.
Speaker 6: Yeah, chasers, thank you.
Speaker 3: Leeth van Ansolin, Chris Jullman, big fan of his workers.
Speaker 3: You well know. Now we'll take a break. It's twenty
Speaker 3: five after eleven, twenty nine minutes after eleven o'clock. Plenty
Speaker 3: of sport, plenty of racing this weekend, so let's have
Speaker 3: a look at what's happening with the markets around all
Speaker 3: of that. Glenn Munty from Ladbrugs on the nine on
Speaker 3: the line, did I, Glenn, hope you will? Well, wouldn't I?
Speaker 11: Bound? I'm even better now than I'm talking to you.
Speaker 3: Oh, listen to this, hey, listen to this NRL. Let's
Speaker 3: start there my chokie. Yes, mate, go on.
Speaker 11: I was trying to say, hang by the little box
Speaker 11: during the week there might be something there for you,
Speaker 11: but if it's chicking, I'd leave it alone.
Speaker 3: Whoops, an alarm clock for the kiddies listing, Glen, Glenn's
Speaker 3: going to send me an alarm clock neg time. The
Speaker 3: Knights and the roosters, My roosters, I know you're a
Speaker 3: Bunnies man, so it's amazing that we talk to each other.
Speaker 3: This is McDonald jones Stadium.
Speaker 11: Well that's how you know that you're forever in our shadow.
Speaker 11: Let's have a five thirty this afternoon at Newcastle where
Speaker 11: the Knight's the home side. Here three dollars twenty outsiders.
Speaker 11: This game affected badly by injuries and origin. Of course,
Speaker 11: Fletcher Sharp out for Newcastle, so Jackson Hastings comes in
Speaker 11: for his first game all year in.
Speaker 1: The top grade.
Speaker 11: They're three dollars twenty outsiders Newcastle. The Roosters they got enough,
Speaker 11: they got five players in origin and a couple of
Speaker 11: injuries as well. They're the dollars thirty five favorites in
Speaker 11: this one nine and a half the line in that
Speaker 11: one forty three and a half the over under and
Speaker 11: the Roosters have won seven of the last eight matches
Speaker 11: between the two. And who can forget last week when
Speaker 11: yinka they have gone to the world against Many and
Speaker 11: got home in a tidy.
Speaker 3: H do you haven't they fall and hate Many losing
Speaker 3: last night as well?
Speaker 1: Goodness, what a tragedy.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, that's Greg sincerity. The Cowboys, the Cowboys and
Speaker 3: the Dolphins later in the day.
Speaker 11: Yeah, seven thirty five, This one in Townsville. The eighth
Speaker 11: placed Cowboys play the ninth place Dolphins. The Cowboys outside
Speaker 11: is here at two sixty the Dolphins favorite at a
Speaker 11: dollar fifty. They have lost their last three matches away
Speaker 11: as favorites the Dolphins five and a half. The line
Speaker 11: in that one forty nine and a half the over runner.
Speaker 11: Now five of the last six Cowboys games have gone over.
Speaker 11: They've got the fifth worst defense in the whole comp
Speaker 11: the Cowboys and the worst of the top eleven side,
Speaker 11: and the Dolphins have got the third best attack in
Speaker 11: the National Rugby League. So expect points in this game.
Speaker 11: Five and a half the line two the Cowboys forty
Speaker 11: nine and a half the over under there. And then
Speaker 11: tomorrow this will be a cracker four o'clock at Homebush
Speaker 11: a course. South's at two eighty five. The dog is
Speaker 11: at one forty four canterb We've won the last ten
Speaker 11: of the last twelve between the sides here seven and
Speaker 11: a half the line forty five and a half the
Speaker 11: over under Lachland Galvin, who's done everything but walk on
Speaker 11: water in the last couple of weeks. He's starting for
Speaker 11: Canterby's three forty five to score a try, as he
Speaker 11: did last week in his first match for the Dogs.
Speaker 11: He's nineteen dollars to score the first try and that one.
Speaker 11: And then Wednesday night in Perth is origin two. Mitchell
Speaker 11: moses out and New South Wales drifted with Loule coming
Speaker 11: into the side one forty four the Blues to eighty
Speaker 11: Queensland seven and a half the line forty one and
Speaker 11: a half the over under. As I said, that's Wednesday
Speaker 11: night at Opta Stadium in Perth.
Speaker 3: Yes, excellent, all right. Now the US Open golfin Adam
Speaker 3: Scott's in the mix mate, that's I think fantastic.
Speaker 11: Yeah, he's three off the lead, Adam Scott. He's the
Speaker 11: leading ossie at the moment. He's even par. Only three
Speaker 11: players under par at the moment. Sam Burns the leader
Speaker 11: on three under. He tied for ninth in the US
Speaker 11: Open last year. He leads JJ Sporn, who was the
Speaker 11: overnight leader on minus two. Victor Hoveland is the only
Speaker 11: other player under the card at minus one. Sam Burns
Speaker 11: is the four dollar fifty favorite over Hobland at six
Speaker 11: dollars spawn at nine. Scotti Scheffler, who's seven off the
Speaker 11: lead is a nine dollar chance. Ben Griffin and Adam
Speaker 11: Scott are eleven and seventeen dollars there. And for our
Speaker 11: Brisbane and Sydney viewers, a big match in the AFL
Speaker 11: todat the Gather twenty past one Brisbane played the Giants.
Speaker 11: Brisbane won twenty favorites. The Giants out the four sixty.
Speaker 11: The last time they played a day game at the
Speaker 11: Gather was a round twenty two last year and the
Speaker 11: Greater Western Sydney Giants got over the top of Brisbane
Speaker 11: eighty two to sixty four, twenty.
Speaker 14: Seven and a half.
Speaker 11: The line a biggie there and one hundred and seventy
Speaker 11: and a half the over under. Now. Funnily enough, Brisbane
Speaker 11: haven't covered the line in their last nine day matches
Speaker 11: at the so that gives the Giants some hope with
Speaker 11: the twenty one and a half start not too far
Speaker 11: from the Gabba, probably about thirty five dollars in a
Speaker 11: taxi of his Eagle Farm race course, or depends which
Speaker 11: where you go. If you go out of the story
Speaker 11: bridge might be a little bit.
Speaker 3: Hey, what do you may? What do you reckon? It
Speaker 3: cost me a cab from the airport to the city
Speaker 3: about a month ago. What part of the city right
Speaker 3: at center? I was in Ann Street, I think.
Speaker 11: Right a taxi, I'd say sixty five dollars.
Speaker 3: Gosh, have you got my credit card statement there with
Speaker 3: sixty seven bucks or something? That's okay.
Speaker 11: I keep telling you I'm not a recluse, and you
Speaker 11: know I haven't been in Guantanamo Bay or the like
Speaker 11: for the last thirty odd years. I do actually get
Speaker 11: around you.
Speaker 3: Yeah right, sorry, Strapbruck my body shape. But is around
Speaker 3: Strapbrug handicap in an Eagle farm today? Mate?
Speaker 11: Yes, the war Machine is the favorite for the brad
Speaker 11: BROGI also Group one racing the lad Broks JJ Atkins
Speaker 11: when cool Archie is the favorite, and that one looks
Speaker 11: a beautiful day in Brisbane, let's hope the racing is
Speaker 11: keen and all that. And in Sydney we're racing at
Speaker 11: rose Hill where they're approaching the barriers for the second
Speaker 11: on the car there. If you are having an investment,

Speaker 3: He's a nice man that Glenn Muns, isn't he nice man? Now?
Speaker 3: Brian Wilson Beach Boys remember this a classic and we
Speaker 3: will pay tribute to Brian Wilson after midday when Craig
Speaker 3: Bennett joins us for starstruckts hard to know what the
Speaker 3: best Beach Boys song is. I get a bit of
Speaker 3: time driving into work and I occasionally listen to Well
Speaker 3: all sorts of things, US podcasts, well music, and I
Speaker 3: put on their best of album and every song's a winner.
Speaker 3: Every song's a winner, and sometimes and it's wrong, But
Speaker 3: it takes the passing of a legend like Brian Wilson
Speaker 3: to remind you that, you know, that's some pretty special stuff.
Speaker 3: Some of those songs are sixty years old, and I
Speaker 3: remember as a young blo people saying, oh this modern music,
Speaker 3: it mon't last a test of time. Hello, now twenty
Speaker 3: two to midday. Now it's coming up to seventeen minutes
Speaker 3: to midday. Housing is so scarce in parts of New
Speaker 3: South Wales that employers are renting properties on behalf of
Speaker 3: hospitality stuff or some public health workers resort the sleeping
Speaker 3: cars to avoid long commutes, prompting MPs towards the state government,
Speaker 3: the men's government to act urgently on essential workers access
Speaker 3: to housing. This isn't a news story. This is something
Speaker 3: we've been covering here for at least the last year
Speaker 3: and probably more. A Parliamentary Select Committee inquiry into essential
Speaker 3: worker housing, shaired by Sydney MP Alex Greenwich, found these workers,
Speaker 3: who are broadly defined as someone who works face to
Speaker 3: face providing key services, are the forgotten group and the
Speaker 3: government's housing policies. The committee supports that essential workers ensure
Speaker 3: cities and regions can function. Yet with that adequate access
Speaker 3: to safe housing that's affordable, many of these workers are
Speaker 3: forced to sacrifice their well being in order to deliver
Speaker 3: the services our state needs, and the ridiculous the ridiculous.
Speaker 3: Counter to that is, you know, if you dare to say, well,
Speaker 3: hang on, if we're building new houses more slowly than ever,
Speaker 3: and we're having population growth more rapid than ever, then
Speaker 3: you know that proposition isn't racist. It's actually mathematics. As
Speaker 3: we say here often, and you get a report, Oh
Speaker 3: isn't that amazing? It's not amazing, It's completely predictable. But
Speaker 3: we know, don't talk about that stuff. What we do Bazaar.
Speaker 3: It's seventeen to midday.
Speaker 4: And now the Real Estate Show Thanks to Domain, Australia's
Speaker 4: trusted property marketplace.
Speaker 3: Alice Stoles is a national property editor at Domain. We
Speaker 3: have a chat each week and she's with us right now.
Speaker 3: Good day, Alice, good morning.
Speaker 10: We're great to bear with you.
Speaker 3: Thanks lovely to talk to you again. Let's kick off
Speaker 3: with the latest action numbers and clearance rates in Sydney
Speaker 3: and Brisbane. What can you tell me?
Speaker 19: Well, Sydney's got not going not badly given we are
Speaker 19: now well and trillion winter seven hundred seventy three auctions
Speaker 19: taking place around the city today. Brisbane has seventy eight
Speaker 19: auctions now last week and of course Long weekend in
Speaker 19: Sydney last weekend clearance rates came in at sixty six
Speaker 19: percent for Sydney, and in Brisbane they came in at
Speaker 19: thirty nine percent. So it's kind of we're just slipping
Speaker 19: into that slower period, Luke. But let's see what happens
Speaker 19: in the next couple of weeks, just to see how
Speaker 19: kind of reactive I guess buyers are to the economy
Speaker 19: and all this global uncertainty.
Speaker 3: Indeed, all right, now our expensive and not so expensive
Speaker 3: buyers from last week in Sydney and in Brisbane, East
Speaker 3: Linfield got the top figure.
Speaker 6: Did it?
Speaker 3: In Sydney it did?
Speaker 1: Indeed.
Speaker 19: Now this was a three bedroom house. Now there were
Speaker 19: twelve bidders at this auction, Luke.
Speaker 7: It was an.
Speaker 19: Aged three bedroom home on around just a bit of
Speaker 19: a nine hundred square meter, so twelve bidters because basically
Speaker 19: it had the appeal of being able to be a
Speaker 19: knockdown house. But the bidding for this one went bananas,
Speaker 19: and someone paid four point five million dollars for essentially
Speaker 19: beat a knockdown and then they'll rebuild their green behind
Speaker 19: a local family from the area, and the vendor's son
Speaker 19: apparently said to us that his parents were over the
Speaker 19: moon they'd been in the house for twenty six years,
Speaker 19: and clearly they were pragmatic about not to be emotional
Speaker 19: about it, because I think I'd be a bit of
Speaker 19: a wreck if that happened to me, knowing that someone
Speaker 19: was going to knock out in the house. But they
Speaker 19: obviously just could see the upside of the opportunity to
Speaker 19: make a very tidy profit on it. So a pretty
Speaker 19: incredible situation that we're seeing play out in different spots
Speaker 19: of Sydney, particularly when heritage and I guess the development
Speaker 19: opportunities are there for some people. In Brisbane, it was
Speaker 19: in tener Reef we had a lovely, very big, traditional
Speaker 19: kind of English style house with incredible views that sold
Speaker 19: for four point two one million dollars a three bedroom
Speaker 19: house there. And again we're just saying if you're in
Speaker 19: that right location with beautiful views, people will absolutely pay
Speaker 19: for it if their pockets are deep enough.
Speaker 3: Yes. Indeed, just back to what you were saying there
Speaker 3: about you know the future of a person's property and
Speaker 3: you hope you get through the process thinking, you know
Speaker 3: what that was okay, But someone very close to me
Speaker 3: thought when they were selling their house to a person
Speaker 3: that made it clear that everything there was wonderful and
Speaker 3: they couldn't wait to live in it and it was
Speaker 3: fantastic blah blah blah, And they ended up doing a
Speaker 3: deal only to find that a week after moving out
Speaker 3: the place was up for rent, and they thought, Wow,
Speaker 3: why wouldn't they just straight talk? You know, I hear
Speaker 3: what you're saying. People need to be honest about this stuff.
Speaker 3: And I guess, you know, you should be aware that
Speaker 3: people are trying to get an advantage or something. But
Speaker 3: that I think that question about heritage.
Speaker 19: People can see, Yeah, some of them see what sort
Speaker 19: of an emotional event or potentially how they react to
Speaker 19: We've also seen situations in the market all around the
Speaker 19: country actually where it were sometimes a very sort of plucky,
Speaker 19: particularly first buyer. We'll go out and a limit often
Speaker 19: write a letter to a vendor and say, I absolutely
Speaker 19: love your house, here's my story about my proper ownership.
Speaker 19: And often if the vendor is that way inclined, they
Speaker 19: react through positively to it and having some instance taken
Speaker 19: a lower offer from that first time by purely for
Speaker 19: the emotional appeal of giving it to someone who is
Speaker 19: going to do the right thing with it now. In
Speaker 19: cases I'm talking about there's been complete sincea ten honesty there.
Speaker 19: But I'm wonder if we're going to start seeing more
Speaker 19: of people kind of shaping their own narrative just to
Speaker 19: get a good deal. Probably unfortunately there is the answer
Speaker 19: to that one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, fascinating. Now the best buy is Sydney Harris Park.
Speaker 19: Yeah, look there was a place in Harris Park, two
Speaker 19: bedroom place, five hundred and eighty five thousand dollars. This
Speaker 19: one soulful and to me, you know what, Luke, this
Speaker 19: shows me that going at that little bit further or
Speaker 19: to sort of areas like this, look, i mean two bath,
Speaker 19: one parking spot five hundred and eighty five thousand, pretty
Speaker 19: good buying in Sydney at the moment, knowing is our
Speaker 19: country's most expensive market and we rarely see anything with
Speaker 19: at least two bedrooms going under sort of seven hundred
Speaker 19: thousand at the moment, So a slight encouraging way of
Speaker 19: light for buyers there incresstmeat in Brisbane there was a
Speaker 19: home that for five bedrooms sold for six hundred and
Speaker 19: twenty five thousand dollars and needs a bit of love
Speaker 19: this place. But I'm hoping again that someone kind of
Speaker 19: makes the most of it and can do something quite
Speaker 19: clever there.
Speaker 3: Tell me about this new research from Domain looking at
Speaker 3: buyer search data and linking it with actual property listings
Speaker 3: and showcases are growing divide, doesn't Yeah, Look, this is
Speaker 3: what I sort.
Speaker 19: Of think about, is that disconnect to what sellers expect
Speaker 19: when it comes to selling and what buyers are willing
Speaker 19: to pay. Now it says to me a lot also
Speaker 19: about the fact that many buyers aren't really educating themselves
Speaker 19: enough about how quickly prices can move in certain parts.
Speaker 19: So I think the message means that buyers really need
Speaker 19: to go in with this with their eyes wide open
Speaker 19: and ensure they're really sort of over with what prices
Speaker 19: are at this current point in time, because the biggest mismatch,
Speaker 19: particularly in the Brisbane area, is that in those inner
Speaker 19: city suburbs and areas also like Sherwood, Interpilli Candale, are
Speaker 19: also showing gaps of what buyers are willing to pay
Speaker 19: and what sellers are expecting to sell for. And I
Speaker 19: guess the reality is that we sort of see this
Speaker 19: imbalance in the market when we're just seeing a disconnection. People,
Speaker 19: I guess aren't being realistic enough that what they have
Speaker 19: to pay, and sellers are also being overly bolshy about
Speaker 19: what they expect to get for the house, particularly I guess,
Speaker 19: giving the affordability constraints that we're seeing, especially in Brisbane,
Speaker 19: in a growing way at the moment.
Speaker 3: Yes, well that is that's really worth a look at.
Speaker 3: Go to the domain website to get all that information.
Speaker 3: Are you telling me that there's a two bedroom cottage
Speaker 3: in Wales that you can get for a couple of bucks?
Speaker 19: It's what I mean that these stories you can't you
Speaker 19: couldn't make them up. A two bedroom cottage is on
Speaker 19: the sale for two dollars. Now, Luke, brace yourself that
Speaker 19: this is completely in a derelict state. But it's in
Speaker 19: Pembroke Dock, a town in the rural countryside of South Wales.
Speaker 19: It overlooks a beautiful river, but basically there is so
Speaker 19: much work that needs to be done here. Now the
Speaker 19: cottage will be solved an online auction and it's part
Speaker 19: of a collection of eighty properties being sold during a
Speaker 19: two day auction event. Now, of course, people in Brisbane
Speaker 19: are all across the fact that they often have these
Speaker 19: super action events take place. A collection and properties listed
Speaker 19: at the same time. We don't see them very much
Speaker 19: in Australia except for in that Brizze market. But this
Speaker 19: place in the in Wales is absolutely having it. The
Speaker 19: lease hold goes for nine hundred and ninety nine years,
Speaker 19: but I just cannot imagine the work needs to be done.
Speaker 19: And look, my advice is also this, if it seems
Speaker 19: too good to be true, it normally is. And who
Speaker 19: knows what's going on here in terms of development or
Speaker 19: in a particularly around the waterways. There can also be
Speaker 19: obstacles there, but certainly worth having a look a look at.
Speaker 19: If you've got a bit of an eu pass potentially
Speaker 19: live over there, check it out.
Speaker 3: Yeah two bucks, goodness me, I'll be there in a
Speaker 3: few weeks. Actually I might just no, I won't back
Speaker 3: in a second. Alice Stoles from the Domains were there's
Speaker 3: properties of the week, the first one in New South
Speaker 3: Wales to Barrel Award winning renovation architecturally designed plays five bed,
Speaker 3: three BA three car. But what about in Brisbane we've
Speaker 3: got the home of a stuntman to the stars, is
Speaker 3: that right?
Speaker 19: That's right? Jimmy Christensen, who is like these stuntman in
Speaker 19: Australia and has looked after everybody from George Coney.
Speaker 20: To Ryan Gossip.
Speaker 19: Beautiful house on Oak Beach and I mean that's sort
Speaker 19: the Port Douglas region. Beautiful beachside sanctuary, six bed, four bath,
Speaker 19: two car, and I just think, what a wonderful example
Speaker 19: of those little bolt holes you can go to, particularly
Speaker 19: if you're in a stressful job like being a stuntman.
Speaker 19: I can't imagine what that would be like, Luke, So
Speaker 19: opportunity for somebody to kind of make their own little
Speaker 19: beautiful spot with someone who's been, you know, touched the
Speaker 19: Hollywood stars.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fantastic. Hey, have a terrific weekend, Alex. I'll
Speaker 3: talk to you in a week's time.
Speaker 19: Thanks so much, Thanks Luke.
Speaker 3: Everything we talk about. Go to domain dot com dot
Speaker 3: au and you can see the properties of interest in everything.
Speaker 3: That's all the research. They're really important information. If you're
Speaker 3: buying a home like I went through, you need domain now.
Speaker 3: News coming up, Craig Bennett after that, Brian Wilson, The
Speaker 3: Life and Times of the Legend of Music. I have
Speaker 3: a chat to Mark Levy from the Continuous Call team.
Speaker 3: He's in today after one o'clock with the Big Man,
Speaker 3: Gal and Brienie on a Saturday. That's interesting. Bernie on
Speaker 3: a Saturday with breaking is a breaking news, Brenie on
Speaker 3: a Saturday. Still, well, if he hasn't got breaking news,
Speaker 3: he'll find someone that doesn't know that. Love your work,
Speaker 3: Brenie News.
Speaker 1: Next cross Australia. It's back to weekends. We have to
Speaker 1: look grand.
Speaker 3: Good afternoon. Thank you for your company. Great to be
Speaker 3: with you on Saturday, the fourteenth day of June, in
Speaker 3: the winter of Australia warming up. I hope so the
Speaker 3: Continuous Call team there with you after one. I just
Speaker 3: saw the big Man. I love having a chat to
Speaker 3: the big man in the office here. We don't get
Speaker 3: a lot of time. About seven minutes when the news
Speaker 3: is on, he tells me he's got some great stuff
Speaker 3: for you this afternoon. So I keep listening. Whatever you do.
Speaker 3: Mark's here, of course, Mark Leeby, I'll chat to him
Speaker 3: later in the hour. And Craig Bennett The Life and
Speaker 3: Times of Brian Wilson, the Music Legend, will do that.
Speaker 3: On Starstruck today, Richard Miles has been speaking the Deputy
Speaker 3: Prime Minister. I will get to that in just a sec.
Speaker 3: And I want to go back to the Israel. Iran conflict.
Speaker 3: We have seen reports that one woman has died in
Speaker 3: Tel Aviv. I'm waiting for more information than When I
Speaker 3: have that, I'll pass it on to you. I mentioned
Speaker 3: this story a little earlier in the day, and it's
Speaker 3: now been reported more formally in the Telegraph. A former
Speaker 3: Northern Territory Olympian has described a terrifying night of bunkering
Speaker 3: down as Israel with quote unrelenting ballistic missile attacks unquote
Speaker 3: from Iran. Nov Peris said she spent the early waking
Speaker 3: hours in a Jerusalem bomb shelter with eleven other Australians
Speaker 3: who are due to take part in a reception by
Speaker 3: the Israel Australia, New Zealand and Oceania Chamber of Commerce
Speaker 3: on Sunday in Tel Aviv. In a post on Twitter
Speaker 3: this morning or x, miss Peris described their last twenty
Speaker 3: four hours, much of which has been spent in a shelter,
Speaker 3: as deeply confronting. It follows as a tax between Israel
Speaker 3: and Iran have intensified. Posting about two am from Israel,
Speaker 3: Navperi said the last five hours had been extremely frightening
Speaker 3: and distressing. We've witnessed the unrelenting ballistic missile attacks in
Speaker 3: Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and across Israel. There have now been
Speaker 3: three waves of missiles fired directly from Iran, targeting civilians,
Speaker 3: destroying homes and causing widespread devastation. She says, like so
Speaker 3: many here were just doing what Israelis do every day,
Speaker 3: seeking shelters, staying strong, praying for peace. We also stand
Speaker 3: with the two million Arab citizens of Israel who rely
Speaker 3: on the same protection from the IDFs defense systems. This
Speaker 3: isn't about one people, It's about humanity. She thanked everyone
Speaker 3: who sent messages and asked people to keep Israel and
Speaker 3: at citizens in their prayers. We can't wait to come home,
Speaker 3: but for now we're safe in bomb shoulders. We're together,
Speaker 3: our hearts are with all those living through this, this terror.
Speaker 3: I imagine there'll be plenty of people who've expressed an
Speaker 3: opinion about about Middle East wars and conflicts that'll be
Speaker 3: concerned about the kids of Israel, Will they?
Speaker 19: On?
Speaker 3: Three? One eight seven? Three? Hey, look at this, Paula's
Speaker 3: on the line.
Speaker 11: Day.
Speaker 3: Mate. You've seen something remarkable, have you?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 6: I'm really sure.
Speaker 14: We're at Cape Solanda at the time, our national park. Yeah,
Speaker 14: at the one watching station, and I'm pretty sure it's
Speaker 14: seen Migelo the word while with a pot of about
Speaker 14: six or seven at the north.
Speaker 3: So just for listeners in the state, this is Cape Solander.
Speaker 3: It's near Colonel.
Speaker 14: Cape Solandri and the Colonel National parkner.
Speaker 3: Yep, and you you saw Migealou the white whale with
Speaker 3: around six or seven of its friends.
Speaker 9: Is that right?
Speaker 14: That's correct?
Speaker 6: Right up again? But yeah, that was about fifteen.
Speaker 14: Minutes ago, passing through the ancient support me by now
Speaker 14: heading more, trying away from to come up again.
Speaker 3: It sounds a bit windy out there. It must be
Speaker 3: nice and cold and fresh.
Speaker 11: Is it?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 14: Fresh, it's not too bad. Actually it's okay in good traditions.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, great, all right, Paulie, thank you mate at
Speaker 3: the whale watching station at at Colonel Migelu. Do you
Speaker 3: reckon Migalohu's ringing a whale radio station? Well as I
Speaker 3: like to call it a way whaley station saying I
Speaker 3: just saw a human, don't think sae As I mentioned earlier,
Speaker 3: two barrages of Iranian missiles have struck Israel this morning
Speaker 3: three If you believe that report, and why wouldn't you?
Speaker 3: From No the Paris The attacks have reportedly injured forty people,
Speaker 3: who have severely damaged several high rises as fireballs lit
Speaker 3: up the night sky. It follows Israel's deadly strikes on
Speaker 3: Iranian nuclear facilities yesterday. Now Defense Minister and Deputy Prime
Speaker 3: Minister Richard Miles has spoken to the media. He's calling
Speaker 3: on both nations to prioritize dialogue and diplomacy over warfare.
Speaker 21: We well understand the threat that Iran's nuclear and ballistic
Speaker 21: missile program represents. That program is a threat to international
Speaker 21: peace and security. But because of this, we are calling
Speaker 21: on all parties to prioritize dialogue and diplomacy. We specifically
Speaker 21: call on Iran to exercise restraint in their actions so
Speaker 21: as not to risk any broader conflict.
Speaker 3: Now, I guess as a Deputy Prime minister one needs
Speaker 3: to be somewhat restrained. He also advised that Australians in
Speaker 3: the region should heed the advice of the Smart Travel
Speaker 3: website and seek consular assistance if necessary. Well, according to
Speaker 3: a report I mentioned earlier that support's been unavailable, they
Speaker 3: are able to report that Australian diplomatic staff and military
Speaker 3: personnel are safe. Here is more of Richard Miles.
Speaker 21: I can say that we are able to report that
Speaker 21: our embassy staff in both Tehran and Tel Aviv are
Speaker 21: all accounted for and are safe. There are a small
Speaker 21: number of Australian Defense Force personnel within the region. They
Speaker 21: too have all been accounted for and are safe, but
Speaker 21: we will continue to monitor their ongoing safety.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and now the US President Donald Trump has urged
Speaker 3: Aren't to make a deal or face even more brutal
Speaker 3: attacks by Israel. As Washington said, it was helping its
Speaker 3: key all I defend itself against Iranian retaliation. He said,
Speaker 3: maybe now they'll negotiate seriously. They should have made a deal.
Speaker 3: Trump added, I couldn't get them to a deal in
Speaker 3: sixty days. I were close. They should have done it.
Speaker 3: Maybe now it'll happen. Despite the president's admission, mister Trump
Speaker 3: suggested he's not given up on reaching a revised nuclear
Speaker 3: agreement with Iran. The Israeli strikes came days before a
Speaker 3: scheduled sixth round of indirect talks between US Special Middle
Speaker 3: East Envoys Steve Whitkoff and Iranian officials. Oftentimes, a source
Speaker 3: to the White House told The Post of the administration's
Speaker 3: thinking Friday. Pain is the best form of persuasion. Barbara says,
Speaker 3: why do so many people have troubles saying nuclear? Very
Speaker 3: good question. I don't know. It's not a particularly difficult word.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't have thought, but as someone who talks for
Speaker 3: a living, we can't nail everything, and nuclear from many
Speaker 3: of us is not difficult. But it seems political leadership
Speaker 3: in Australia, particularly on one side of the spectrum nuclear
Speaker 3: is just I can think of three of them, maybe
Speaker 3: one of them. You just heard Jeff says. You think
Speaker 3: at least the Defense Minister could pronounce the word nuclear.
Speaker 3: Why are people so unkind? Thank you, Jeff Michael. I
Speaker 3: don't talk about colleagues, but thank you for getting in touch.
Speaker 3: I wonder what he said one three one eight seven
Speaker 3: three zero course zero eight seven three eight seven three.
Speaker 3: We better take a braak. Look, well, I play another
Speaker 3: Brian Wilson sign. We're going to do some Brian. I
Speaker 3: am going to play another Brian Wilson song. I think
Speaker 3: it's the least we can do. And I think this
Speaker 3: was made famous well. It was made famous by the
Speaker 3: Beach Boys, and it was made famous from memory by
Speaker 3: well that the soccer pools or lotto or something. Wouldn't
Speaker 3: it be nice? May sixteen parts Mendo, there you go,
Speaker 3: beach boys. Wouldn't it be nice? One of my listeners,
Speaker 3: who is it Phil? We have a wooden knit in Australia.
Speaker 3: Then he suggests it's a senior politician. I might just
Speaker 3: we'll try and be kind here, Cadbury. Wouldn't it be
Speaker 3: nice if the world was chocolate? I think was one
Speaker 3: ad here? Certainly the lotto ad and that too. You're right,
Speaker 3: and other listeners as if the protagonists are going to
Speaker 3: take notice of anything, Miles ab Elbow or Penny Wong
Speaker 3: a calling laborer known as Andti Israel, they should put
Speaker 3: dummies in their mouth. Okay, thank you for that. Thank
Speaker 3: you Simon for getting in touch. Any chance of playing
Speaker 3: Barbara and well, we'll see. I think there's perhaps a
Speaker 3: little bit of Barbara and coming your way. As stupid
Speaker 3: Australian politicians, you don't talk to your enemy, you kill them.
Speaker 3: Lewis telling it like it is Virginia. Why are people
Speaker 3: so pedantic? I think people have an expectation that if
Speaker 3: you are elected to high office, you might just have
Speaker 3: some idea about the use of the language. We have
Speaker 3: in this country. I don't think it's pedantic. I think
Speaker 3: it's calling out perhaps a decline in standards. I mean,
Speaker 3: if the significant leadership can't say the word, we shouldn't
Speaker 3: be over. The concerns should be that kids are failing
Speaker 3: on the global stage. Seriously. Used to have standards eye
Speaker 3: the old days. Now we just put up with any
Speaker 3: old crap. Well done, We'll take a break. Craig Bennett,
Speaker 3: in just a moment just on the text ingrad says,
Speaker 3: I'm with you, Luke at please the way I suppose
Speaker 3: that the intelligent don't pronounce words, I should know how
Speaker 3: to pronounce well, I mean there is, whether they like
Speaker 3: it or not, there is an influence these people have
Speaker 3: over others. And it's the same when these is to
Speaker 3: be standards. And I'm probably the old bloke on the radio,
Speaker 3: but guess what I am. You know you don't just
Speaker 3: get to turn up in the Senate with an open
Speaker 3: neck shirt and a jacket. It's a bit more respect. Please,
Speaker 3: we're a bloody tie like it's always been the chance.
Speaker 3: I'd always been the thing. And if there comes a
Speaker 3: time where together we think okay we can ease off
Speaker 3: do it. But you don't. It's not Twitter. You don't
Speaker 3: get just to do your own thing. You don't get
Speaker 3: to invent how a word's pronounced or not. And it's
Speaker 3: a lack of respect. I know I'm the old bloke
Speaker 3: on the radio, but I can do with it. A
Speaker 3: lot of people are agreeing with the old bloke on
Speaker 3: the radio. I have to say, just an old bloke
Speaker 3: on the radio. Tomorrow is World Elder Abuse Day. This
Speaker 3: sickens me. If you have abuse an older person, you're
Speaker 3: a gutless you know what, You're gutless. Now. What shames
Speaker 3: me is that more than one in six older Australians
Speaker 3: experienced elder abuse and over sixty percent of them don't
Speaker 3: report it. And partly they're frightened of reporting it. And
Speaker 3: the other part of that is because in the old days,
Speaker 3: oh here he goes again, the old blog in the radio,
Speaker 3: you just got on with things even though today they're
Speaker 3: not tolerable. Don't not report them, report them. But you
Speaker 3: know now, oh he looked at me, funny, that bloke. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but he didn't. He wasn't no, but I thought he
Speaker 3: looked at me funny. That's not right. Having me come
Speaker 3: a long way can't talk. Everyone's a victim, and we'll
Speaker 3: just decide what standards exist. I don't normally like to
Speaker 3: get angry at the end of the show and fight
Speaker 3: up about stuff, but something's really peed me off. Forgive
Speaker 3: me for that.
Speaker 1: I know what will bring me happiness this gramm, the
Speaker 1: smelling souls industrial strength if you have them, and don't
Speaker 1: forget the pickle juice, because it's time for starstroke with
Speaker 1: Craig Bennett.
Speaker 3: Now, Craig Bennett is with us, and I don't know
Speaker 3: anyone in the world best better equipped to tell us
Speaker 3: about the life and times of Brian Wilson, the genius
Speaker 3: behind the Beach Boys and all these great songs. Yeah, look,
Speaker 3: I think it's not unfair to refer to him as
Speaker 3: a genius as I say, a very good afternoon to you,
Speaker 3: Craig Bennett, the life and times of Brian Wilson, Boyd.
Speaker 3: There were some songs there.
Speaker 20: Right, there were some songs there. Might I say, Luke Grant,
Speaker 20: a very good afternoon to you. And I'm always thrilled
Speaker 20: to be your happy pill or your little endow accelerator.
Speaker 20: You know, well, it can happen when you covering bad
Speaker 20: news and you just need a little bit of a
Speaker 20: little bit of a kick in the right direction. I'm
Speaker 20: happy to be your mate. You're right. Genius. There is
Speaker 20: a word that absolutely applies to the brilliance of Brian Wilson. Look,
Speaker 20: as Elton John said, a musical revolutionary. We know he
Speaker 20: was a singer, a songwriter, producer, one of the founders,
Speaker 20: as you mentioned, of the Beach Boys, a band that
Speaker 20: you think about it nineteen sixty one when it kicked
Speaker 20: off to now has sold over one hundred million records
Speaker 20: and counting. And he played some of those iconic songs
Speaker 20: Surf for USA. Of course there were surfer Girl, Surfing Safari,
Speaker 20: wouldn't it be nice? Good vibrations with in that mix?
Speaker 20: Helped me Ronda California girls so many We could go
Speaker 20: on all avo and you know I can so. But
Speaker 20: you think Brian wrote or co wrote all of those
Speaker 20: and dozens more songs, and I guess, as we all know.
Speaker 20: Thursday morning, the newsale through that Brian had been gathered
Speaker 20: snatched from the world left us in Los Angeelus in fact,
Speaker 20: a week shy of what would have been his eighty
Speaker 20: third birthday. And friends, Look, they came out rather philosophical,
Speaker 20: I think Luke saying, knowing all that he'd been through
Speaker 20: and certainly how his last few years had played out,
Speaker 20: hoping that he was now finally at peace, look maybe
Speaker 20: even reunited with his brothers. Of course, his Beach Boys
Speaker 20: co stars Carl and Dennis Wilson, both of whom died.
Speaker 20: Oh tell you about that. During his time away from
Speaker 20: the Beach Boys, he released fifteen solo albums wonderful solo singer.
Speaker 20: His first was Brian Wilson that came out in nineteen
Speaker 20: eighty eight, and it's charting again. See when somebody a
Speaker 20: great like this stars all of a sudden, they have
Speaker 20: zooming to the top of the charts all round the place.
Speaker 20: His last album was released four years ago and it
Speaker 20: was called Brian Wilson Long Promised Road. Look in his life,
Speaker 20: two Grammy Awards, sitting on his mantle, Revered by fans
Speaker 20: and music superstars alike. He was dubbed the reigning King
Speaker 20: of Pop melody. And despite what appeared to be in
Speaker 20: terms of fame and fortune, this magic carpet ride his
Speaker 20: private life. So you flipped the coin. The private life
Speaker 20: was a tumultuous doesn't even touch the sides. You know,
Speaker 20: we go from an abusive father. I'll, in fact tell
Speaker 20: you what Brian's father, Murray used to do with his
Speaker 20: glass eye, because his dad had a glass eye. You'll
Speaker 20: be absolutely shocked. And Brian claims, in fact, it was
Speaker 20: what his dad used to do with his glass eye
Speaker 20: that kind of got him on drugs in the first place.
Speaker 20: So look, there were the drugs, the booze, shocking mental breakdowns,
Speaker 20: schizophrenic episodes. He became this recluse and would spend months
Speaker 20: at a stretch in bed. He over eight and became
Speaker 20: morbidly obese. He was at one stage under the sway
Speaker 20: of this brainwashing shrink. For forty years, Brian Wilson had
Speaker 20: been haunted by the voice of his dead father telling
Speaker 20: him that he was essentially useless, he was worthless, no
Speaker 20: point in you living an more. And so I mean
Speaker 20: Brian took that to heed for decades. He was driven
Speaker 20: to despair by hallucinations and other voices. Not just his
Speaker 20: father was look. He so hated himself. At one point
Speaker 20: in time he even dug his own grave. He tried
Speaker 20: to drive a car off a cliff. He was diagnosed
Speaker 20: with Schitzo effective disorder He in fact wrote about all
Speaker 20: of this in a memoir that for those who love
Speaker 20: Brian Wilson, the Beach Boys and that whole genre of music,
Speaker 20: and all those involved in this incredible memoir, I Am
Speaker 20: Brian Wilson that came out back in twenty sixteen that
Speaker 20: the detailed what could only be described as epic heis
Speaker 20: and absolutely crushing lows. Two marriages, seven kids. In fact,
Speaker 20: two of his daughters, Carney and Wendy, formed or formed
Speaker 20: two thirds of Wilson Phillips, with Trina Phillips of course,
Speaker 20: the daughter of the Mummers, and the pappas John and
Speaker 20: Michelle Phillips making up the other third. Look, it is Luke,
Speaker 20: a shocker of a story. We go from music genius
Speaker 20: but the devil by an abusive father, and then interestingly
Speaker 20: how two years of age hearing the music of all people,
Speaker 20: George Gershwin completely changed his life forever. And of course
Speaker 20: then it's the sadness of his longtime feud with cousin
Speaker 20: and Beach Boys great Mike Love but did they repair
Speaker 20: that riff just before Brian sailed away last week?
Speaker 6: So it's one hell of a story, That's all I
Speaker 6: got to say.
Speaker 3: All right, we'll take a break and come back with
Speaker 3: all of that next and we are living the life
Speaker 3: of the genius. It was Brian Wilson through the words
Speaker 3: the eyes of Craig Bennett, and he's about to pick
Speaker 3: up with some stuff. And I just want to say
Speaker 3: to you, mate that even though we have a somber
Speaker 3: tone today because we lost Brian this week, our friend
Speaker 3: Mick from Winston Hills says, Luke, I know Craig's only
Speaker 3: scratched the surface, but I'm already heavily into the smelling salts.
Speaker 3: That's good. Thank you Mick for letting us know that
Speaker 3: we were wondering, both of us, weren't we We were.
Speaker 20: And I also have another message from Steven sim Tweedheads,
Speaker 20: who has been asking me now for quite some time
Speaker 20: to talk the life and times of Brian Wilson when
Speaker 20: Brian was alive. He's no longer. And Stephen did also
Speaker 20: say that he would have the smelling salts very firmly
Speaker 20: in his grip. I think that's I think that's very
Speaker 20: why so Brian Wilson, That's how he was born, that
Speaker 20: was his name in Los Angeles. As I mentioned, Luke,
Speaker 20: he'd be turning eighty three next week next Friday. Left
Speaker 20: us last Thursday after a life that was a roller
Speaker 20: coaster only way to describe it. He was the eldest
Speaker 20: of three kids, so he has two brothers, or had
Speaker 20: two brothers. They're all dead now, Dennis and Carl, So
Speaker 20: along with their cousin Mike Love and Brian's school friend
Speaker 20: Al Jardine, they were the original Beach Boys lineup, and
Speaker 20: we'll get to that shortly. So Brian's dad, Murray, was
Speaker 20: a machinist who then became something of a songwriter, and
Speaker 20: then he looked after the Beach Boys as their manager
Speaker 20: for a bit. And so there was Brian's mum who
Speaker 20: basically looked after the three kids, a homemaker, I think
Speaker 20: you'd say in the old days. So, according to Brian,
Speaker 20: Dennis and Carl, their dad could have spats of being
Speaker 20: hideously abusive verbally physically. Brian had lifelong hearing problems in
Speaker 20: his right ear, and it had been suggested this could
Speaker 20: have come about from having been beaten around the head
Speaker 20: by his father, but that's never been confirmed. It certainly
Speaker 20: that's what's been speculated in an array of biographies on
Speaker 20: the life and times of Brian Wilson. Now, when he
Speaker 20: was two he heard George Gershwin's Wonderful Rhapsody in Blue,
Speaker 20: and that changed his life forever. From that moment, Brian,
Speaker 20: even as a top he reacted to music. He began
Speaker 20: harmonizing and was from the moment he opened his mouth
Speaker 20: in that kind of song way pitch perfect. His dad, Murray,
Speaker 20: encouraged all of his sons, his three sons, into music.
Speaker 20: They took accordion lessons, they sang in school and church choirs.
Speaker 20: And then when Murray brought home an upright piano and
Speaker 20: not upright Piano'brian he was twelve, then taught himself how
Speaker 20: to play. Look, he began writing songs. He just had
Speaker 20: this exquisitely naturally of the music. But it songwriting, be
Speaker 20: it harmonizing, singing, or playing instruments. He was just one
Speaker 20: of those naturals. As a teenager, worked sweeping out a
Speaker 20: jewelry store to earn a bit of money. And then
Speaker 20: in nineteen sixty one, so he's what they're nineteen, he
Speaker 20: pens a song called Surfer Girl, and together with his
Speaker 20: brothers Dennis and Carl, cousin Mike Love and their friend
Speaker 20: or his friend from school al they form a group
Speaker 20: called the Pendletones, which was named after a type of
Speaker 20: woolen shirt, the Pendleton, that they wore back in the day.
Speaker 20: Now the group signed a record deal. The record company
Speaker 20: changed their name to the Beach Boys after Dennis, who
Speaker 20: was in fact the only real surf of the group,
Speaker 20: suggested they start writing songs about the style and that
Speaker 20: kind of you know, really, now it's iconic, that surfy
Speaker 20: culture of southern California. The original record company win broke,
Speaker 20: so they signed a seven to deal with Capitol Records.
Speaker 20: That was nineteen sixty two, and as they say in
Speaker 20: the classics, the rest is history. Look sadly, there was
Speaker 20: always drama surrounding Brian. So, for instance, nineteen sixty four,
Speaker 20: the guys are off on a tour. They're coming back
Speaker 20: from one leg of the tour, and he suffered this
Speaker 20: freak out on board a flight from Los Angeles to Houston.
Speaker 20: At one point he was replaced by Glenn Campbell. In
Speaker 20: the early sixties, Brian started using marijuana and hashi. She
Speaker 20: was drinking. He took to his bed on and off,
Speaker 20: sometimes for months at a stretch. He'd wander around out
Speaker 20: in public talking a hugely famous man in his pajamas
Speaker 20: that were kind of hanging down round his knees and whatever.
Speaker 20: He started binge eating, ballooning to one hundred and forty kilos,
Speaker 20: and that was in the seventies. He plunged into these
Speaker 20: wild depressions, could barely work, refused to tour. He had
Speaker 20: this sandbox in his lounge room and like a baby,
Speaker 20: like a kid, would sit and play in the sandbox
Speaker 20: with plastic rakes and things for days. When he took
Speaker 20: to his bed, he barely moved, refused to wash or shave, serious,
Speaker 20: serious problems. He wrote in his Eye and Brian memoir,
Speaker 20: how his father, whom he described as a deranged drunk,
Speaker 20: had this glass eye, and what he'd do is it
Speaker 20: would take the glass eye out, and he forced his
Speaker 20: three sons to peer into the hole behind that glass eye,
Speaker 20: and this freaked all of them out. And his dad
Speaker 20: kind of got this weird kick, this perverse kick, out
Speaker 20: of making the kids look into the hole where the
Speaker 20: glass eye sat. And Brian said, reconciling that kind of
Speaker 20: horror and why would you do that sort of launched
Speaker 20: him into drugs. Look since nineteen sixty five, he claimed
Speaker 20: to be haunted by hallucinations and these disembodied voices, all
Speaker 20: of which got worse when his father died, because then
Speaker 20: he began hearing the voices of his father. He's saying
Speaker 20: these awful things. Brian thought Satan was after him. At
Speaker 20: one point, he dug a hole in the backyard of
Speaker 20: his Beverly Hills home and he asked his gardeners to
Speaker 20: push him in and cover him with dirt. On another occasion,
Speaker 20: he tried to drive his car off a cliff, and
Speaker 20: then he tried to drive his car off the Santa
Speaker 20: Monica Peer. He came under the sway of this brainwashing.
Speaker 20: Shrink is the only way to frame this guy. Doctor
Speaker 20: Eugene Landy, who completely manipulated Brian Wilson's life, got him
Speaker 20: into other drugs like LSD, all these sort of psychotrophic drugs,
Speaker 20: refuted that Brian had schizophrenic issues, which other doctors were saying,
Speaker 20: I think this is what your problem is, and doctor
Speaker 20: Landy would say, no, it's not at all. Your problem is.
Speaker 20: You are just scared. You have to overcome this fear.
Speaker 20: So we've got all that. Look to his private life,
Speaker 20: married twice, first wife was a singer, Marilyn Rovel, who
Speaker 20: sang with her sisters in a group called the Honeys.
Speaker 17: Now.
Speaker 20: She met Brian back in nineteen sixty two at a
Speaker 20: nightclub in la She was fifteen, probably shouldn't have been there,
Speaker 20: he was twenty one. They met over a cup of
Speaker 20: hot chocolate.
Speaker 6: I just want you to know.
Speaker 20: They wed a few years later nineteen sixty four. Had
Speaker 20: two daughters, Carne and Wendy, now both singers Wilson Phillips.
Speaker 20: Brian and Marylyn divorced in it was nineteen seventy nine,
Speaker 20: but not before he'd had an affair with Marylyn's sister Diane.
Speaker 20: He then married Melinda Ledbetter as her name nineteen ninety five.
Speaker 20: They adopted five kids. Melinda had been a used car dealer,
Speaker 20: but then went on to become Brian's manager very successfully.
Speaker 20: They remained blissfully married until her death last year. In fact,
Speaker 20: they first met in the eighties when she sold him
Speaker 20: a Cadillac. So there you go. It was Melinda who
Speaker 20: got Brian back on track, helped him finish off albums
Speaker 20: because there are all sorts of threads in his life
Speaker 20: that hadn't been tidied up. She got him out of
Speaker 20: the clutches of doctor Landy. Their love story played out
Speaker 20: in a wonderful movie twenty fourteen. I think it came
Speaker 20: out Love and Mercy, of course, after one of Brian
Speaker 20: Wilson's fabulous song. It was a movie that starred Paul
Speaker 20: Dano as the young Brian Wilson, John Cusack as the
Speaker 20: older Brian Wilson, and Elizabeth Banks played his wife. Now Look,
Speaker 20: after Melinda's death and with Brian having been diagnosed with
Speaker 20: dementia last year, he then went into this guardianship situation
Speaker 20: where he was looked after by two friends and of
Speaker 20: course his kids all very close. Now, during those decades
Speaker 20: of mental health horrors, there were lawsuits that flew over royalties.
Speaker 20: He had this massive falling out with Mike Love, his cousin,
Speaker 20: who sued him several times, claiming that he'd been ousted
Speaker 20: on the songwriting credits. How it wasn't Brian Wilson who
Speaker 20: wrote some of those songs solo, that Mike had written
Speaker 20: them with him. And in fact Brian had to pay
Speaker 20: five million dollars at some point for songwriting royalties that
Speaker 20: at that point in time had gone unpaid. Look, he
Speaker 20: was rocked by the death of his two brothers, there
Speaker 20: was Dennis Wilson who drowned in nineteen eighty three. He
Speaker 20: had been partying on a boat and jumped overboard and
Speaker 20: something happened and he drowned. That was off the coast
Speaker 20: of Los Angeles. And Carl Wilson died of lung cancer
Speaker 20: in nineteen ninety eight. And of course, with all of
Speaker 20: Brian's issues, he would then be hearing the voices of
Speaker 20: his dead brothers as well on top of his dead
Speaker 20: father and Satan, and heavens knows what else. Look despite
Speaker 20: his tumultuous mental state and what by virtue of that
Speaker 20: was a crazed live luke. He revered his wife Melinda,
Speaker 20: loved his seven kids, loved his music, and Carne Wilson
Speaker 20: said in a social media post it was on Friday yesterday,
Speaker 20: but she hopes her dad is up there playing with
Speaker 20: his mum, who he treasured, and his beloved late late
Speaker 20: wife Melinda, my love, who, as I've just said, had
Speaker 20: this difficult relationship with Brian. Wilson also attempted to make
Speaker 20: amends near the end. No word on a cause of
Speaker 20: death at this point in time or funeral plans, but
Speaker 20: you know, gosh, I'll tell you what he leaves behind.
Speaker 20: Something in the vicinity of one hundred million dollars. He
Speaker 20: made a fortune, lost of fortune and kind of made
Speaker 20: it all back again. And there is absolutely no doubting
Speaker 20: his music genius and what that incredible legacy will be.
Speaker 3: You may mention of Gershwin, and it was maybe ten
Speaker 3: years or more ago now that he actually put out
Speaker 3: an album. Do you remember that reimagines Gershwin?
Speaker 20: I do, And there you now know, why don't you do?
Speaker 20: George Gershwin was just it was like literally the first
Speaker 20: piece of music he heard, and that's where his life.
Speaker 20: It was like this epiphany, even at two years of age.
Speaker 20: He was just drawn to it, reacted to it. And
Speaker 20: I guess looking back over, that is probably why he
Speaker 20: reimagined the music of Gershwin, among others, in that particular
Speaker 20: album you're talking about.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just noticed on Apple Music, and I'm sure
Speaker 3: this is just coincidental. But on May thirty he released
Speaker 3: a single someone called Jeffrey Foskett called Mary Honey.
Speaker 1: Oh didn't know that, You know what?
Speaker 20: For me, it's nice to be surprised from time to time.
Speaker 20: Normally I'm on the floor in shock myself, having run
Speaker 20: out of smelling salts and there's not a drop of
Speaker 20: pickle juice left in the suburb. So you know, Unfortunately,
Speaker 20: when I'm shocked like that and I don't have any remedies,
Speaker 20: this could be parlours.
Speaker 3: Have a good weekend.
Speaker 11: Thank you.
