WEBVTT - Weekends with Luke Grant - Saturday 14 June 0:00:01.080 --> 0:00:11.160 Whoa across Australia. This is Weekends with Luke Grant. But 0:00:11.280 --> 0:00:12.720 you gotta keep your head up. 0:00:14.480 --> 0:00:18.040 Let's your hand up. You gotta keep your head up. 0:00:19.280 --> 0:00:23.840 Then you collects your hand up. I know it's hard, no, 0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:28.200 it's hard to remember sometimes, but you gotta keep your 0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:28.640 head up. 0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:31.440 Thanks, golects your hand up. 0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:36.640 Good morning, Welcome to Weekends with Luke Grant. Great to 0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:38.760 be with you on t GB in Sydney, four BC 0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:42.040 in Brisbane and listeners on the app joining us all 0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:47.080 around Australia. June fourteen today Saturday morning, and the greatest 0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:49.959 country on Earth. What a bitterly cold week it's been, 0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:52.360 certainly where I've been on the coast around Sydney, and 0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:55.600 I noted a couple of days back Mount Isa. The 0:00:55.760 --> 0:01:01.040 ISA in northwest Queensland recorded it's cold as June nineteen 0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:05.520 forty four years after temperatures plunged to minus zero point seven. 0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:09.840 Further eastern Queensland and Richmond a minimum temp of minus 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:14.360 zero point one, the first sub zero nighte in thirteen years. 0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:17.920 Oh boy, okay on the Darling Downs reached the low 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:21.319 of minus four point two. It's winter now. In Brisbane, 0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:26.959 the ABC reported that Yesterday, temperatures reached record breaking lows 0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:29.360 in the southeast of the state, the Mercury dropping five 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:33.960 to eight degrees below average. Brisbane CBD worked towards coldest 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:37.360 June morning since two thousand and two. My god, twenty 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:41.160 three years. It was just five point two degrees in Sydney, 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:43.440 just a week or so back, the coldest temps recorded 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:47.080 at nine am, Sydney's air temperature reaching ten point four 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:53.320 harrond or feels like temperature of five point three. We 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:56.000 shouldn't be scared about this. It's the weather and it's winter. 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:58.920 You know, this is just the first half for the 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:02.440 first month of winter. I guess we take comfort from 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:07.520 the predicted mild winter ahead, do we? Speaking of temperatures 0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:09.800 in the weather in Sydney, a partly cloudy day with 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:13.440 a medium chance of showers. They'll become less likely late 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:18.600 this afternoon and tonight in the city seventeen Penrith, eighteen Paramatta, 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:23.640 seventeen Bondai and along the coast seventeen Tomorrow and Sydney 0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:26.440 party cloudy, slight chance of a shower and a top 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:31.720 of eighteen degrees. Brisbane today mostly sunny, top tempts in 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:35.120 the City twenty one, Airport twenty Ipswich twenty one, the 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:38.600 Sunny Coast twenty Gold Coast twenty one tomorrow and Brisbane 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:42.280 Sunny in twenty two. You win now so much to 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:45.600 tell you about today, What a week it's been on 0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:51.640 planet Earth. Firstly, I can tell you that Iranian ballistic 0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:56.320 missiles struck at least seven sites around Tel Aviv last night, 0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:59.919 injuring at least twenty two people, according to Israeli mis 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:04.920 military officials and firefighters. Video from Tel Aviv showed at 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:09.280 least one large explosion on the ground from an apparent 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:14.079 missile strike and at least one building on fire. Explosions 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:19.360 were also heard over Jerusalem as missiles streaked overhead part 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:25.560 of Iran's retaliatory campaign after waves of Israeli strikes the 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:30.760 devastated Tehran's military chaine of command and it critical nuclear facilities. 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:34.680 A dozens were killed in Iran more than three hundred 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:39.160 others injured, according to unofficial figures cited by the Fars 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:43.880 news agency, which is affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards. Now 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:50.600 fascinatingly and on a large extent, concerningly, Sophie Ellsworth from 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:55.200 News Corps says desperate Australians trying to flee Israel have 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:58.760 lashed out of the Australian Embassy, furious that it's closed 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:03.200 while the country under attack, and say they've been provided 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:06.520 with no plans to try to bring them home as 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:10.080 Iran launched hundreds of ballistic missiles. A cohort of Assis 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:13.440 remain trapped in the war torn region trying to get 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:17.880 assistance to come home. Now. Among those in Israel a 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:23.080 former Olympian Nova Peris who's bunkered down in Jerusalem, she says, 0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:26.599 and was due to take part in a reception by 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:31.640 the Israel Australia, New Zealand and Oceania Chamber of Commerce 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:35.839 on Sunday in Tel Aviv. Now, the Department of Foreign 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:39.720 Affairs and Trade Defacts say there's between ten and twelve 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:45.280 thousand Australians living in Israel. There's also an Australian cohort 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:50.360 of political representatives hosted by the Israeli Embassy in camera. 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:53.000 They've been in the Middle East for the past week. 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:56.960 They're also bunkered down in bomb shelters and safe rooms 0:04:56.960 --> 0:05:00.880 across Israel, and she says former Sid the radio host 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:05.120 erin Molin, is among the Australians in Israel unable to 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:08.200 come home, and said she quite tried to register with 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:11.960 the embassy this morning and they wouldn't take our names. Unquote. 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:17.560 The Telegraph of contacted defat for comment. One Irate Ozzy, 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:20.040 who did not want to be named, is in Tel 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:23.880 Aviv on a short term trip, desperate to come home, 0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:28.240 but said little supports being provided, saying that they were 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:32.359 told we're currently or they're currently sheltering underground at a bunker. 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:38.159 It's tense and it's frightening, he said. Raphael Grossi, the 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:41.960 head of the UN's Nuclear watchdog, told the Security Council 0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:45.839 that Israel's strike on Iran's nuclear site near the Tarans 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:51.320 had destroyed its above ground enrichment plant, causing chemical and 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:56.440 radiological contamination, and of course, in Tel Aviv, Israeli TV 0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:59.640 showed images of a damaged building and many mangled and 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:04.599 burned cars from one of the impact sites in the area. 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:08.880 This is, obviously, you don't need me to remind you significant, 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:12.000 and we'll keep our eyes and ears open to bring 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:15.640 you the very latest we know. Flights have been diverted 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:20.440 from the area as Middle East airspace closes, and this 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:23.359 is what day two. So as I say, we'll update 0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:26.719 you on what is the very latest in the Middle East. 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:32.120 Now to another huge story from this week. And you know, 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:36.480 we talk about these things that happened, tragedies, and we're 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:40.080 mindful of the loss of life and how difficult it 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:44.120 must be for families and friends. But in amongst all 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:46.760 of this, you'd have to say a miracle. A British 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:49.880 man the sole survivor of the crash of Air India 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:53.560 flight one seventy one, which went down moments after take 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:59.080 off in Maddabad, Matabad on Thursday, killing more than two 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.760 hundred and forty people. Now before I go on, I 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.400 see that a second Air India flight turned around and 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:09.400 made an emergency landing in Pouquet yesterday when it received 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:12.040 a bomb threat while en route to New Delhi. Reportedly, 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:16.360 passengers were escorted off the plane safely. The back of 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:20.240 the survivor from flight one seven to one. A viswash 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:24.760 Kumar Ramesh in hospital where he was being treated for 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:27.520 burns and other injuries. He told the Indian Prime Minister 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:31.760 Narendra Mody that he still could not believe he was alive. 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:35.760 He told India's national broadcaster during the meeting with Mody 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:40.400 that the Boeing seven eight to seven eight Dreamliner seemed 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:42.720 to be struck stuck rather in the air for a 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:46.640 few seconds after take off, the lights started flickering green 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:50.320 and white, and the plane bound for London Gatwick Airport 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:52.920 with two hundred and forty two people from India, Britain, 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:57.560 Portugal and Canada on board, seemed unable to gain height 0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:01.120 before it crashed. He said, section of the plane where 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.960 he was seated landed on the ground rather than a building, 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:07.480 and there was a room for him to escape. He 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:11.480 unfastened his seat belt and forced himself out of the plane. 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:14.040 He went on to say, maybe the people who were 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:16.000 on the other side of the plane weren't able to 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:18.560 I don't know, he said, how I survived. I saw 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:21.560 people dying in front of my eyes. The air hostess, 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:24.360 there's two people I saw near me. I walked out 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:29.120 of the rubble. So courtesy of an interpreter from sky 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:33.079 News UK, he is a little of what the miracle 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:33.840 man had to say. 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:34.600 I met him. 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:37.400 There's some new other Everything happened in front of my eyes. 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:41.240 I still can't believe myself how I came out alive 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:44.480 and give it for a little while, and I thought 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:47.040 I was going to die here. But when I opened 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:50.120 my eyes so I realized I'm alive or a minute, 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:52.839 so I tried to escape. I pulled out the belt 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:55.520 from under my seat and tried to escape. Then I 0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:58.280 managed to do it. I saw others and the air 0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:00.560 hostesses in front of me who couldn't escapes. 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:06.520 It's remarkable. Apparently from the plane he made a video 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:10.320 call to his dad. He was speaking to his dad 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:14.360 on a telephone call while the while he was getting 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:19.040 ready to board. I just can't fathom all of this. 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:22.520 So for more on this, my friend and colleague Brian Wilson, 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:25.880 broadcast journalist at nine years and of course three aw 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:31.760 a specialist in aviation, maritime, emergency management, business, infrastructure and travel, 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:34.920 joins me on the line. Brian, thanks for your time, mate. 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:38.480 These Boeing Dreamliners I think I'm right in saying had 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:42.440 a faultless safety record. I imagine the industry doesn't has 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:45.040 to assess if this is a one off or a 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:48.000 fault that may affect the entire fleet. Is that a 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:50.439 step too far? Is it too early? What do you say, mate? 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:53.760 No, good morning, Luke. Look it's I think you've I 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:56.800 think you're quite right there. The situation we've got is 0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:00.560 simply the fact that this is a horrible, horrible tragedy. 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:04.120 I think in terms of the baseline, this is now 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:08.120 very much about confirming the what and then finding the why. 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:11.520 I would say at this point in time, if there 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:14.920 was to be something major with a Boeing Dreamliner, we 0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:18.880 would see dreamliners all around the world grounded. That hasn't happened, 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:22.800 and we've actually had statements to the contrary from a 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:27.880 number of aviation authorities, both in Europe, in America, and 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:30.440 of course even here in Australia. Of course, these aircraft 0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:33.679 are used by Quantus as well. A bit of background 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:36.360 on at the seven eight sevens. They actually carry around 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:40.439 half a million people every day, so that's around two 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:43.800 thousand flights a day that they're taking off around the world. 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:47.120 So if there was something major as far as the 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:50.439 system's concerned, we would have seen we would have seen 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:53.640 the air safety authorities come in and literally issue an 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:58.800 airworthiness directive and ground these planes. Nonetheless, we will see 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:02.040 reports today and over the next couple of days of 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:05.960 airlines taking precautions, inspecting their fleet and things like that. 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:09.040 And Japan Airlines are doing that as we speak now, 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:14.200 and also quantus of very very diligent in that space. 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:19.640 The miracle you talk about seat eleven A is very 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:20.320 much a miracle. 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:20.839 I've got to say. 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:22.600 I was on air at the time that this happened, 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:25.760 and my news director said, do you think there'll be deaths? 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:30.280 And my first comment to her was simply, I doubt 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:33.600 anyone will survive. So to have somebody walk away from 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:37.360 it is very much a miracle sitting in an exit 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:42.360 row seat eleven A. Interestingly, the people on the other 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:46.599 side of the aircraft, those in eleven J, on the 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:50.400 right hand side of the aircraft, they didn't survive, So 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:53.920 this is certainly a miracle. I must say that if 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:58.080 I didn't see the images of the man's boarding pass, 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:01.640 I probably would have I probably would have been a 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:04.760 little bit doubtful of the story. That's how that's how 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:05.880 miraculous it is. 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:10.079 So let me ask you about what you saw in 0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:13.880 the video. And again I appreciate as an expert you 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:16.559 have a much better view on these things than the 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:19.880 rest of us. But you hear things like the landing 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:23.160 gear was still down, the plane might have stalled. Now 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:26.880 I'm not sure exactly what that means, but from a 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:30.760 you know, consider it's lay people, not you us. When 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:34.040 you look at that something obvious to you. Does a 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:35.880 plane stalled? What does that even mean? 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:42.320 Well, it certainly was the case. Literally, I reported this 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:46.520 on air just around seven thirty ish, so it wasn't 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:48.560 too long after it happened. The first vision I saw, 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:51.240 the first thing I looked at, the flaps were attracted, 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:53.360 the gear was down, and the speed appeared to be 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:57.640 the lower. So certainly, in my view, straight away, something 0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:01.600 was not right in that situation. When you're on a 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:04.119 plane and you're about to take off, of course you'll 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:08.520 hear the flaps actually extend out. That increases the size 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:12.760 of the wing and creates more lift at lower speeds, 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:16.640 So straight away that's an issue. The fact that the 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:19.480 plane had rotated off the deck and the gear hadn't 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:23.280 been brought up. That creates an enormous amount of drag. 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:27.319 The procedure normally is that you'll have your other pilot 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:29.280 to call out your speed V one, which is the 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:31.480 speed at which you can't have brought you have to 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:34.000 take off. You'll rotate off the deck and as soon 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:36.760 as you've got some positive climb. The next command is 0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:42.960 gear up, and that clearly shows that things were not 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:46.360 necessarily what you would expect on the flight deck at 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:50.640 the time. The way these aircraft work look is that 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:55.560 they're highly complex, highly computerized, but they do rely on 0:13:55.720 --> 0:14:00.920 human inputs. So things like the temperature, the air density, 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:04.679 which is critical a Mutabad at the time thirty seven 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:09.800 degrees the air density there is not the friend of flying, 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:12.679 the weight of the aircraft, the runway length, So all 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:16.000 of these things are manual inputs. So what the investigators 0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:18.319 are going to do now is they're going to forensically 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:22.880 tear apart that data that's come from the black boxes 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:25.800 that they've recovered. They're going to create a number of 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:30.160 specialist teams. There's people from all around the world that are. 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:30.200 Helping the. 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:36.280 RKO supervisors and the Indian authorities to investigate this, and 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:40.680 then they'll forensically dissect what were the inputs into the aircraft, 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:46.400 what were the crew's actions, did were there any manual interventions? 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:50.000 And these are the things that will actually we'll see 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:52.640 in a preliminary report in around about a month's time, 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:57.800 But certainly this is now very much a case of 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:01.600 looking at why this happened, and I think anybody getting 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:06.360 on a seven eighty seven today shouldn't be concerned. This 0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:13.280 certainly is very much like mister Kuma's miraculous walking away 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:15.080 from it very much or one off. 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:18.360 Great to talk to you mate, Thank you and if 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:21.560 we need you tomorrow we're not interfering. We'll find you again. 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:25.200 But thanks so much for your expertise anytime er. Thank you. 0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:29.760 Brian Wilson from three aw and Melbourne and more broadly 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:34.360 nine News and as you can tell an aviation expert here, 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:37.960 we've got some stuff from Brian. They're amazing now quickly 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:40.400 and sadly. A woman has died after a house was 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:43.960 engulfed in flames in Petersham overnight in Sydney around ten 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:48.440 to midnight, emergency services attended a terrace on Westbourne Street, 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:53.640 Petersham reports of a fire. Residents in neighboring properties were 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:57.000 evacuated by police while Fired and Rescue New South Wales 0:15:57.080 --> 0:16:00.240 battle to extinguish the blaze. A body believe to be 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:02.240 that of an eighty two year old woman was found 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:05.800 inside the home, yet to be formally identified. A fifty 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:08.120 seven year old man was treated by paramedics at the 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:12.640 scene for smoke inhalation before being taken to hospital in 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:16.920 a stable condition. An axed Queensland captain Daily Cherry Evans 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:21.680 horror week continued. He was grabbed by a fan after 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:25.560 the Titans did a job on Manly last night. Now, 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:28.640 the Titans a gold coast, bounced back from last week's 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:33.840 Broncos drubbing, beating Manley twenty eight to eight at Sea 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:37.120 Bars Superstadium. A startled Cherry Evans was stunned by the 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:41.000 man dressed in Manly gear who got hands on him 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:44.040 before being tackled to the ground by multiple security guards 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:48.680 and then marched from the field. Not only did Manley 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:53.320 get done, but that there were a couple of injuries. 0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:57.160 I don't know what's going on there, do you? Because 0:16:57.200 --> 0:17:02.200 one week they look wow and the next week this dally. 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:06.080 Terry Evans was controversially dropped by the Morons for the 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:10.800 must win Oragin game on Wednesday in Perth. Now on 0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:13.520 the show Today, Dennis Shanahan from The AIS Will joined 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:16.400 me shortly for the latest in federal politics. Ge wrote 0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:18.720 a fascinating story this week in case you missed it. 0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:22.679 He said, the PM's been asked to personally intervene in 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:27.000 a decade old, four hundred million dollar if you don't mind, 0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:31.680 compensation claim for Australian and US citizens over a New 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:35.480 South Wales government mining confiscation as part of an upcoming 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:39.440 deal with Donald Trump on trade tariffs. Wouldn't you love 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:41.679 to be in the room? Wouldn't you love to be 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:44.320 in the room if they ever meet as a PM 0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:47.680 heads to Canada for the G seven and potentially meets 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:51.280 the US on the US president on the sidelines. Trade 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:55.760 representatives in Washington are seeking a resolution to this compensation 0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:59.719 claim rising for the New South Wales Liberal government's confiscation 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:03.359 of mine sinning loses back in twenty fourteen, and the 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:06.520 US Trade people have repeatedly raised a lack of compensation 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:10.040 as a breach of the US Australia Free Trade Agreement. 0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:14.080 As I say, wouldn't you love to be on the 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:18.320 sidelines of that meeting? Somehow? We'll talk to Dennis about 0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:21.320 that and the other issues from the political week after 0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:23.199 ten this morning, I want to go to Morewell in 0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:26.440 the La Trobe Valiant, Victoria, where the trial of accused 0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:30.560 triple murderer Aaron Patterson's been taking place. It's the case 0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:34.520 which has garnered global attention. Three guests that a lunch 0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:38.439 died after eating beef Wellington in twenty twenty three, and 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:40.359 the question in the eyes of many is was it 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:44.359 murder or a tragic mistake? Now? Both Crown Prosecutors and 0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:49.200 Defense Council concluded their cross examination of Miss Patterson this week, 0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:52.560 so there will be no more evidence in coming days 0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:57.639 closing arguments. I want to speak to nine News Penelope Lesh, 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:02.000 co host of the nine pod cast the Mushroom Trial. 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:05.960 Say Grace, she'll join me, and as you might expect, 0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:09.720 there are limitations on what we can discuss, so we've 0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:13.320 got to protect the jury, what they're exposed to and 0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:16.240 the legal safeguard. So we'll bring you a sense of 0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:19.480 what life has been like in Morewell whilst the trial 0:19:19.560 --> 0:19:24.040 has been taking place. It's astonishing economists from macrobusiness, dot com, 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:27.160 dot Au and weekends regularlyf Van Nonsoalan joins me after 0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:32.240 eleven Today he'll rip into Australia's energy armageddon from page 0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:37.320 to the Telly today more power price increases, Yeah, beauty, 0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:40.359 that promise of two hundred and seventy five dollars saving 0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:45.720 seems I don't know so last decade. Gosh, what a 0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:48.760 mess we've got ourselves into. Anyway, we'll talk to Leith 0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:52.399 about that. And whilst we've had an economic clown of 0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:54.960 the Week for the past couple of weeks, this week 0:19:55.000 --> 0:19:58.879 he's found us an economic champion.

Ah, yes, 0:20:50.720 --> 0:20:53.000 that was off there. I think their last studio album 0:20:53.080 --> 0:20:56.119 as the Beach Boys. That's why God made the radio. 0:20:56.240 --> 0:20:59.200 But there's so many other great songs. Where do I begin. 0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:01.560 I could play you a minion of them now and 0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:03.359 still not be sick of it, but we better not 0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:05.720 do that. We'll spend time with Craig Glader and the 0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:08.639 show about the life and times of Brian. Isn't it 0:21:08.640 --> 0:21:12.600 an amazing show?

And I can tell you 0:23:58.040 --> 0:24:01.160 it's sunny so I can see the snow mountains oh. 0:24:02.480 --> 0:24:06.080 There you are, there, you are. As Albo makes his 0:24:06.480 --> 0:24:12.240 first post election trip to North America, a US and Canada, 0:24:12.880 --> 0:24:16.000 the unfolding war between Israel and Iran as overshadowed and 0:24:16.040 --> 0:24:21.679 complicated Australia's position on both defense spending and orcas and babs, 0:24:21.720 --> 0:24:28.399 even our recognition of Palestine. This is fascinating from a 0:24:28.440 --> 0:24:30.520 commentator's point of view. What do you make of it all? 0:24:31.240 --> 0:24:37.800 Yeah, Look, the trip to the US to attend the 0:24:37.880 --> 0:24:41.640 G seven was going to be a big moment for 0:24:41.760 --> 0:24:47.480 Anthony Albaneti. He was scheduled or hoping to meet Donald 0:24:47.520 --> 0:24:51.800 Trump face to face for the first time, and this 0:24:51.960 --> 0:24:57.080 was going to be the big post election trip. It 0:24:57.200 --> 0:25:01.159 was going to be about trades and tariffs, and we 0:25:01.320 --> 0:25:03.160 had all the arguments lined up. 0:25:04.520 --> 0:25:12.280 Unfortunately, the Israeli attack on Iran and the response against 0:25:12.600 --> 0:25:16.240 what is now an unfolding war missiles, drones and planes 0:25:17.280 --> 0:25:20.520 has actually changed his agenda. 0:25:20.000 --> 0:25:23.600 Completely for the G seven and for the President of 0:25:23.600 --> 0:25:28.280 the United States. What is now going to be top 0:25:28.320 --> 0:25:32.120 of his agenda is the fact that the US has 0:25:32.200 --> 0:25:38.160 been asking that Australia lift its defense spending to three 0:25:38.200 --> 0:25:44.240 point five percent of GDP repeatedly said that Anthony Alberinezi 0:25:44.320 --> 0:25:49.280 has said that he could not agree to a number, 0:25:49.600 --> 0:25:52.160 hasn't agreed to your numbers. Is rather he'd look at 0:25:52.200 --> 0:25:54.840 how we spent the money so that we've got a 0:25:54.840 --> 0:25:58.639 better result. But added to that was the announcement of 0:25:58.720 --> 0:26:01.560 this work or the river A this week that the 0:26:01.680 --> 0:26:07.360 US is reviewing the UCUS nuclear Submarine agreement and what 0:26:07.440 --> 0:26:11.879 they are saying is it has to actually amount to 0:26:12.560 --> 0:26:17.840 being in America's interest first and what this could physically mean. 0:26:18.560 --> 0:26:21.720 And this is looking at the problem, the long term 0:26:21.720 --> 0:26:27.480 problem that can the US actually produce enough nuclear submarines 0:26:28.080 --> 0:26:31.960 for its own use and in addition to giving them 0:26:32.000 --> 0:26:36.119 to Australia, selling them to Australia. So this is a 0:26:36.240 --> 0:26:40.600 really major problem for Australia, wherein this is our biggest, 0:26:41.080 --> 0:26:46.600 biggest investment in defense ever. And now the US is 0:26:46.640 --> 0:26:48.399 saying we're going to have a second look at this. 0:26:49.000 --> 0:26:53.440 So the agenda for the Prime Minister if he does 0:26:53.520 --> 0:26:58.520 get to meet a President Trump, and given the war 0:26:58.760 --> 0:27:05.760 in Israel Iran, the problems in Los Angeles, the Prime 0:27:06.000 --> 0:27:10.280 the presidents are indicated is cutting short his time at 0:27:10.160 --> 0:27:14.240 the G seven in Canada, and so there's already a 0:27:14.320 --> 0:27:18.800 suggestion that the Prime Minister may. 0:27:18.600 --> 0:27:19.199 Not even be. 0:27:20.920 --> 0:27:22.680 You know, you know what, mate, this doesn't pass a 0:27:22.760 --> 0:27:25.800 test for me. There's JD Vance and so many others, 0:27:26.640 --> 0:27:29.560 and this is this is a huge issue for Australia, 0:27:29.680 --> 0:27:32.959 but not just trade but aucus and our own position 0:27:33.000 --> 0:27:35.520 on defense spending. Now, Abbo likes to play tough man 0:27:35.560 --> 0:27:37.960 and say, oh, we won't be dictated to about what 0:27:38.040 --> 0:27:42.520 we should or shouldn't spend. We're bludgers, We're not fair Dickham. 0:27:42.520 --> 0:27:45.840 In this space, we rely on the American relationship dating 0:27:45.880 --> 0:27:49.119 back to w W two that if things get really tough, 0:27:49.480 --> 0:27:52.760 because if Americas said, you know what, this is going 0:27:52.800 --> 0:27:55.120 to be too hard and too expensive for us, then 0:27:55.160 --> 0:27:58.080 you know we're up for grads. And I just think 0:27:58.119 --> 0:28:01.680 it's so important that someone like the Prime Minister Scott 0:28:01.720 --> 0:28:05.200 he should say listen, this relationship means a lot. I'm 0:28:05.240 --> 0:28:08.200 going over there and I'm talking to someone and I'm 0:28:08.280 --> 0:28:11.000 letting the Americans know that this means a lot. And 0:28:11.400 --> 0:28:14.159 I'm in the room with whoever is available, and i 0:28:14.240 --> 0:28:16.560 want it known that this means a lot. He's not 0:28:16.560 --> 0:28:17.200 faired income. 0:28:18.720 --> 0:28:23.119 It's interesting to say that because previously at the Pope's 0:28:23.160 --> 0:28:28.359 inauguration in Rome, the Prime Minister said he wasn't able 0:28:28.400 --> 0:28:34.040 to have a meeting with I'm sorry. At the Pope's 0:28:34.040 --> 0:28:37.440 funeral in Rome, the Prime Minister said he hadn't sought 0:28:37.520 --> 0:28:41.160 a meeting with Vice President Javid Vance because he was 0:28:41.200 --> 0:28:43.400 the leader of the nation and he only met with 0:28:43.440 --> 0:28:46.640 the leader of the nation. And this is a point though, 0:28:46.880 --> 0:28:50.760 and the US is complaining. The Defense Secretary Hexas has 0:28:50.880 --> 0:28:57.280 made this point. He has said sorely the allies, Australia included, 0:28:57.920 --> 0:29:01.160 can't care more about their own defence events than we do. 0:29:01.960 --> 0:29:06.760 And this goes back to for decade centuries when at 0:29:06.800 --> 0:29:11.760 the First World War Australia supplied money directly to the 0:29:11.800 --> 0:29:17.840 British for their navy. There were public donations from Australians 0:29:17.880 --> 0:29:21.840 to go directly to the British Navy so that they 0:29:21.880 --> 0:29:25.760 could help defend Australia because we couldn't do it ourselves. 0:29:26.040 --> 0:29:29.200 We've done it since with the US the World War 0:29:29.320 --> 0:29:32.840 II and beyond, and yet we can't send a message. 0:29:32.880 --> 0:29:36.600 And one of the complaints from the US again about 0:29:36.640 --> 0:29:42.479 Antonio Alperenesi is that he will not say explicitly why 0:29:42.720 --> 0:29:47.720 he is actually investing in August. We all know it's 0:29:47.800 --> 0:29:52.959 about China and the threat of China presents in the 0:29:53.000 --> 0:29:57.320 region and the world, and ANTONIOPENSI will not say it 0:29:57.440 --> 0:30:01.040 because he doesn't want to get China offside. Now. It's 0:30:01.080 --> 0:30:03.840 a difficult position to be in. But one of the 0:30:03.880 --> 0:30:07.280 things the US is saying is simply tell the Australian 0:30:07.280 --> 0:30:11.960 people because what we're having now is a pushback. MPs 0:30:12.000 --> 0:30:14.920 are starting to say, well, some spend this money. Independent MPs, 0:30:15.200 --> 0:30:17.800 we shouldn't spend this money. There is an opposition within 0:30:17.840 --> 0:30:21.280 the Labor Party and what we could actually see if 0:30:21.320 --> 0:30:23.640 there is a failure from the Prime Minister and the 0:30:23.680 --> 0:30:29.600 government to actually go out and really strongly sell Orcus 0:30:29.680 --> 0:30:33.120 and the importance of UCUS and the reason for the 0:30:33.240 --> 0:30:37.360 nuclear submarines, then the public will will shift and the 0:30:37.400 --> 0:30:41.160 government may give way that you're dead right. There is 0:30:41.200 --> 0:30:46.200 a need for a real prosecution of the case publicly 0:30:46.280 --> 0:30:49.719 and politically for UCUS, and we need to have it 0:30:49.840 --> 0:30:51.360 from the top leadership. 0:30:51.840 --> 0:30:54.880 Brilliant couldn't agree more. Right Able Tiger break back with 0:30:54.920 --> 0:30:57.479 more of Dennis and Justice say It's according to Tenaire 0:30:57.560 --> 0:31:00.760 regular weekly chat with Dennis Shanahan from the Oss, the 0:31:01.080 --> 0:31:08.160 National Editor. Now, Palestine Mate Palestine, Penny Wang's hard stand 0:31:08.200 --> 0:31:13.520 on recognizing Palestine, How does that go down in America? 0:31:13.720 --> 0:31:17.200 Do you think is this another problem that we'll have 0:31:17.320 --> 0:31:17.840 with Trump? 0:31:19.160 --> 0:31:23.880 It certainly is, and it's the timing. It couldn't be worse. 0:31:25.000 --> 0:31:28.560 This week, Penny Wong came out with a very hard line, 0:31:29.040 --> 0:31:34.840 saying Australia had joined lividly with Canada and Norway to 0:31:34.880 --> 0:31:41.640 say that we had decided that a recognition of Palestine 0:31:42.120 --> 0:31:44.600 as a separate state it had to be part of 0:31:44.680 --> 0:31:53.360 the peace process for two state settlement in the Middle East. Now, 0:31:54.240 --> 0:31:57.959 she also at a press conference made some very strong 0:31:58.040 --> 0:32:02.600 remarks about Israel and Palestine. Now, this was all before 0:32:03.520 --> 0:32:10.320 Israel launching attack on Iran and to destroy Iran's ability 0:32:10.760 --> 0:32:14.920 to create a nuclear bomb, which even UN has said 0:32:15.880 --> 0:32:19.600 was getting close, and that the Iran was in breach 0:32:20.240 --> 0:32:26.400 of the international non Peripheration non proliferation treating Now, pennywe 0:32:26.520 --> 0:32:31.040 is a very strong supporter of non proliferation, as is Australia. 0:32:31.640 --> 0:32:35.840 And yet at the very time we were saying Israel 0:32:36.240 --> 0:32:40.600 was doing the wrong thing, the US was saying they 0:32:40.800 --> 0:32:46.280 were standing by Israel on this issue. They didn't support 0:32:46.400 --> 0:32:50.120 the demand for the recognition of Palestine, so we were 0:32:50.200 --> 0:32:55.080 being completely separate on this issue to the US. And 0:32:55.120 --> 0:32:59.680 then on the way to Seattle and Canada, the Prime 0:32:59.720 --> 0:33:03.440 Minister stopped in Fiji and had to actively say, yes, 0:33:04.320 --> 0:33:08.600 we saw we were aware or are aware of what 0:33:08.760 --> 0:33:13.760 the risk of an Iran nuclear bomb would have on 0:33:13.880 --> 0:33:19.520 peace for the world. So the Prime Minister yesterday said yes, 0:33:19.720 --> 0:33:23.600 we recognize Australia recognize the danger of what's happening. He 0:33:23.640 --> 0:33:27.120 has been very careful. He was a very carefully controlled 0:33:27.680 --> 0:33:31.720 two question doorstop, not even a press conference in Fiji, 0:33:32.280 --> 0:33:34.640 so he has been very careful what he said. But 0:33:34.800 --> 0:33:39.080 what he was saying was two days after the Foreign 0:33:39.160 --> 0:33:41.360 Minister had said we were taking a very hard line 0:33:41.720 --> 0:33:45.360 against Israel, opposite to the US. He was then the 0:33:45.400 --> 0:33:47.800 Prime Minister was then saying, yes, we can see the 0:33:47.880 --> 0:33:52.120 problem with Iran having a nuclear bomb, we can see 0:33:52.520 --> 0:33:56.080 why Israel has done what it has and that the 0:33:56.200 --> 0:34:00.560 US was while it didn't partake in the attack or 0:34:00.600 --> 0:34:04.920 provide assistance, it did know they were coming. So once 0:34:05.000 --> 0:34:08.520 again Australia has been caught out here on a policy 0:34:09.120 --> 0:34:14.400 very different to the US when the strategic circumstances literally 0:34:14.640 --> 0:34:18.920 changed overnight, and we are now in a position where 0:34:19.160 --> 0:34:24.080 Donald Trump is supporting Israel, the rest of the world 0:34:24.320 --> 0:34:28.760 is supporting Israel on the attacks on Iran. We've seen 0:34:28.920 --> 0:34:33.440 comments coming out of Germany saying, yes, they knew exactly 0:34:33.520 --> 0:34:35.359 what they were doing, and they had to do it. 0:34:35.640 --> 0:34:39.240 There is a general feeling no one, including the UN 0:34:39.880 --> 0:34:45.440 or the International Energy Agreement, want anything to do with 0:34:45.600 --> 0:34:49.160 Iran having a nuclear bomb. Everyone agreed it was very close, 0:34:49.520 --> 0:34:54.760 and so our policy position, which is perfectly perfectly entitled 0:34:54.840 --> 0:34:58.560 to take the timing of it, couldn't be worse as 0:34:58.560 --> 0:35:00.040 far as our relations. 0:34:59.560 --> 0:34:59.840 With the U. 0:35:00.120 --> 0:35:00.440 Second. 0:35:00.880 --> 0:35:04.360 Yeah, I've got about ninety seconds here. How significant is 0:35:04.400 --> 0:35:10.560 it that a significant labor figure like Bill Kelty has 0:35:10.600 --> 0:35:15.680 declared this tax on unrealized capital gains in super bad policy? 0:35:15.760 --> 0:35:17.600 It is significant, isn't it? 0:35:17.600 --> 0:35:20.640 It is very significant, and it is bad policy. I 0:35:20.640 --> 0:35:24.239 think Bill Kelty, along with Paul Keating, who hasn't yet 0:35:24.280 --> 0:35:29.040 said anything publicly about the superannuation tax, that that is 0:35:29.160 --> 0:35:35.400 the taxing of unrealized paperal gains and the non indexation 0:35:35.760 --> 0:35:39.359 of the threshold, the three million dollars threshold. These are 0:35:39.400 --> 0:35:43.759 principles which are bad policy. They will spread throughout the 0:35:44.040 --> 0:35:47.640 other areas of tax and they undermine This is Bill 0:35:47.719 --> 0:35:52.080 Kelton's point, one of the fathers of labor superannuation scheme, 0:35:52.600 --> 0:35:58.280 says it will undermine superannuation. These are very significant points 0:35:58.640 --> 0:36:02.239 from one of the grand harbors of the ALP and 0:36:02.320 --> 0:36:06.560 I think that what we're seeing is more and more opposition, 0:36:07.040 --> 0:36:10.719 more and more isolation of charmers on this. And I 0:36:10.760 --> 0:36:13.879 wouldn't be surprised in the next few months to see 0:36:13.880 --> 0:36:17.000 a bit of a shift in the government away from 0:36:17.360 --> 0:36:19.120 unrealized capital games tax. 0:36:19.280 --> 0:36:22.760 Great to chat, Dennis, have a terrific weekend. Cheers mate, 0:36:23.000 --> 0:36:25.279 it's nine to ten. Now it's coming up to five 0:36:25.360 --> 0:36:29.360 to ten. Here's another This must irritate listeners in Queensland. 0:36:30.160 --> 0:36:33.280 The Prime Minister's cast doubt over the Brisbane twenty thirty 0:36:33.280 --> 0:36:38.120 two Olympic and Paralympic Games venue plan by suggesting Melbourne 0:36:38.200 --> 0:36:42.800 could still host tennis and rowing be relocated from Rocky 0:36:42.920 --> 0:36:48.040 to Sydney. Albo, appearing on the Two Good Sports podcast 0:36:48.200 --> 0:36:51.879 published yesterday, said there was a bit of debate going 0:36:51.920 --> 0:36:54.680 on over the games and called out the Two Sports 0:36:54.719 --> 0:36:58.680 when discussing the viability and taxpayer burden of major events. 0:36:58.680 --> 0:37:03.440 He said, I've been meeting with Andrew liveris Organizing Committee president, 0:37:04.040 --> 0:37:06.839 as well as with Queensland Premier Christoph Fooley about where 0:37:06.880 --> 0:37:09.840 it goes. For example, are we really going to do 0:37:09.960 --> 0:37:13.239 rowing in Rocky on the Fitzroy River when there's some 0:37:13.280 --> 0:37:19.360 pretty good facilities in Penrith. Well, they're the Brisbane Olympic Games, 0:37:19.400 --> 0:37:24.240 as I have famously said, the bog Brisbane Olympic Games, 0:37:24.719 --> 0:37:29.719 Bog Penrith. I know at State of Oregon. Time is 0:37:29.800 --> 0:37:34.360 in Queensland, but in this albau, what the hell are 0:37:34.400 --> 0:37:37.719 you doing? And I wonder how that plays? As I 0:37:37.760 --> 0:37:41.840 say to our listeners in Brisbane, isn't it funny how 0:37:41.920 --> 0:37:45.680 quickly things change once the election's done, go back to 0:37:45.760 --> 0:37:50.400 being the real elbow? Maybe news coming up shortly after 0:37:50.640 --> 0:37:55.040 the news. So much more to bring you today, including 0:37:55.640 --> 0:37:59.920 the latest on this mushroom trial, the trial of Eron 0:38:00.080 --> 0:38:04.160 Patterson in Victoria. Will speak to Penelope Leash, host of 0:38:04.640 --> 0:38:09.279 the Mushroom Trials, Say Grace and nine podcast. Not a 0:38:09.320 --> 0:38:11.120 lot we can say, but we can certainly tell you 0:38:11.160 --> 0:38:14.320 what the town of Morwell has been like this last 0:38:14.320 --> 0:38:17.080 period of time. And of course Simon Stephenson for asker 0:38:17.160 --> 0:38:19.799 trading here after the news, which is next. 0:38:26.960 --> 0:38:31.000 Across Australia, it's back to weekends with Luke. 0:38:30.920 --> 0:38:43.319 Grat good morning, hope you well today, Thanks so much 0:38:43.360 --> 0:38:46.000 for having a sign on this Saturday, the fourteenth day 0:38:46.120 --> 0:38:50.440 of June. A sunny day in Sydneytown. A cold start 0:38:50.480 --> 0:38:53.880 of things here and I think it's sunny today and 0:38:53.920 --> 0:38:58.120 tomorrow and Brisbane early twenties some of the weather steaks. 0:38:58.200 --> 0:39:01.200 Well done you in the meantime every one age seven three. 0:39:01.400 --> 0:39:03.560 That's the open line number.

Penelope Lish, host of the Mushroom Trials 0:39:17.280 --> 0:39:21.319 Save or Say Grace Rather podcast, will join me in 0:39:21.440 --> 0:39:24.960 a moment or two. Plenty of news about today. The 0:39:25.040 --> 0:39:29.440 Queensland CFM EU is staging a coup against its national 0:39:29.520 --> 0:39:34.240 leader after sensational allegations of backdoor deals with the Labor 0:39:34.280 --> 0:39:39.080 Party and the nation's peak union body. This is in 0:39:39.120 --> 0:39:43.440 the Courier Mail. It can be revealed. Queensland delegates unanimously 0:39:43.560 --> 0:39:47.680 passed a vote of no confidence against CFM EU National 0:39:47.719 --> 0:39:51.759 Secretary Zack Smith this week, accusing him of engaging in 0:39:51.880 --> 0:39:57.920 self serving and unilateral dealings with the ACTU. Now it's 0:39:58.000 --> 0:40:01.480 understood delegates involved in in the motion were aligned with 0:40:01.520 --> 0:40:06.280 the former Queensland State Secretary Michael Ravbar and former Assistant 0:40:06.280 --> 0:40:11.520 State Secretary Jade Ingham, who were ousted during the administration takeover. 0:40:12.360 --> 0:40:17.880 Mister Smith, now banished from CFMU Queensland NT meetings, was 0:40:17.920 --> 0:40:21.839 also accused of going behind members backs and dealing with 0:40:21.880 --> 0:40:24.440 the Labor Party in Federal Minister Tony Burke when he 0:40:24.480 --> 0:40:29.399 handled the workplace portfolio. The motion alleged this was done 0:40:29.480 --> 0:40:33.920 quote particularly in circumstances where elected union leaders have been 0:40:33.960 --> 0:40:39.680 removed without proper process or respect from member representation. Members 0:40:39.719 --> 0:40:45.320 cited grave concerns over Smith's conduct and legitimacy and denounced 0:40:45.320 --> 0:40:49.000 his appointment as National Secretary under the federal government imposed 0:40:49.000 --> 0:40:53.480 administration led by Mark Irving Case. And that's on the 0:40:53.520 --> 0:40:57.440 back of a story I was reading yesterday, Nick Mackenzie's 0:40:57.440 --> 0:40:59.920 work in the Sydney Morning Herald. I imagine I'm not sure, 0:41:00.080 --> 0:41:03.480 but it might well be part of a future sixty 0:41:03.520 --> 0:41:08.399 minutes report about the Awu and to see if he'm 0:41:08.400 --> 0:41:14.920 au and a massive wind farm project if time permits, 0:41:15.280 --> 0:41:17.200 I'd love to talk to Nick about that. I don't 0:41:17.239 --> 0:41:18.880 know if we can make it happen this weekend, but 0:41:18.920 --> 0:41:23.600 it's worth keeping an eye ad for it's extraordinary and 0:41:23.719 --> 0:41:27.040 international drug cartel has been caught selling massive amounts of 0:41:27.120 --> 0:41:30.920 fake cocaine to Sydney gangsters, who have then sold it 0:41:31.000 --> 0:41:34.920 to customers on the streets. Police allege the gang of five, 0:41:35.880 --> 0:41:39.839 who were all born in Columbia but traveling on Spanish passports, 0:41:40.440 --> 0:41:44.120 have been arrested with ninety five kilos of what is 0:41:44.160 --> 0:41:49.400 allegedly inner powder passed off as bricks of cocaine. At 0:41:49.480 --> 0:41:53.080 least four major Sydney crime citicates are believed to have 0:41:53.120 --> 0:41:56.719 been duped by the cartel, who purchased large quantities of 0:41:56.800 --> 0:41:59.600 the drug, believing the four men and one female were 0:41:59.640 --> 0:42:03.360 part of an established South American team sent to Australia 0:42:03.400 --> 0:42:06.120 to sell the drugs. The head of the New South 0:42:06.120 --> 0:42:10.799 Wales Organized Crime Squad, Detective Superintendent Peter Vowe, said this 0:42:10.880 --> 0:42:14.920 had the potential to cause enormous conflict on Sydney streets. 0:42:15.560 --> 0:42:19.560 There'd be individuals or syndicates who may take retribution against 0:42:19.560 --> 0:42:22.719 others believing they had been ripped off once it was 0:42:22.760 --> 0:42:26.880 realized the drugs were fake. And how amazing is this? 0:42:28.480 --> 0:42:33.920 The renowned pathologist, Professor Richard Scollier, who had been fortunate 0:42:34.120 --> 0:42:37.799 enough to have on the show, has just completed his 0:42:38.200 --> 0:42:42.880 two hundred and fiftieth Park Run. It was only in 0:42:42.960 --> 0:42:46.640 March when he was told he only had three months 0:42:46.760 --> 0:42:52.880 left to live after his aggressive brain cancer returned. The 0:42:52.920 --> 0:42:55.560 former Australian of the Year was joined by his children, 0:42:56.680 --> 0:42:59.880 his wife Katie, plus other family and friends for the 0:43:00.120 --> 0:43:05.520 milestone at Greenway Park Run in Haberfield. The fifty eight 0:43:05.640 --> 0:43:08.279 year old Professor Scollier reached the finish line of the 0:43:08.280 --> 0:43:12.880 five k run and just under forty minutes fair Dinkham. 0:43:13.960 --> 0:43:17.200 He was cheered by his supporters, including many strangers who'd 0:43:17.600 --> 0:43:21.640 swarmed to see him reach the big two fifty. Here 0:43:21.760 --> 0:43:33.120 is a moment hecross the line. Now he was given 0:43:33.200 --> 0:43:37.040 three months to live. Oh, he's been given well, there's 0:43:37.080 --> 0:43:39.759 no easy and pretty way of saying a death sentences 0:43:40.600 --> 0:43:44.640 all through his journey. If he's just not one of 0:43:44.640 --> 0:43:48.839 the great humans in the history of human existence, it's 0:43:48.880 --> 0:43:51.759 not because he's done two hundred and fifty of these 0:43:51.880 --> 0:43:58.680 park runs. But the dedication to finding solutions to life 0:43:58.800 --> 0:44:03.200 ending illness and all the others. I mean, he's been given. 0:44:03.280 --> 0:44:07.239 He's been gifted. That's not the right word. So many 0:44:07.280 --> 0:44:11.239 reasons just to again not the right word, turn things up. 0:44:12.600 --> 0:44:16.960 He just won't be stopped. He just won't have the 0:44:17.000 --> 0:44:20.640 wind removed from his sails. He just won't. He just can't. 0:44:20.680 --> 0:44:27.160 It's extraordinary, it's so inspirational. I was really honored, quite 0:44:27.200 --> 0:44:30.239 emotional when I spoke to him, because he's just one 0:44:30.280 --> 0:44:32.000 of those people he kind of wish you could be, 0:44:33.600 --> 0:44:41.080 even though he's had such awful health outcomes. The Melanoma 0:44:41.200 --> 0:44:43.680 Institute co director set himself the goal of getting to 0:44:43.719 --> 0:44:45.680 two hundred and fifty runs around the track and have 0:44:45.800 --> 0:44:47.879 a field. At times he didn't think he'd make it, 0:44:48.880 --> 0:44:53.080 but he's defied the odds again. Professor Scollier, we loved 0:44:53.120 --> 0:44:58.160 you so much. You are such a champion. He really is. 0:45:00.080 --> 0:45:02.480 Note from Queensland Police this morning. A man's been charged 0:45:02.520 --> 0:45:07.960 with multiple offenses following an incident in Beachmere early today. 0:45:08.400 --> 0:45:11.480 Emergency services called to a car park on Saint Smith 0:45:11.640 --> 0:45:15.040 Road just before one am. Reports a twenty nine year 0:45:15.040 --> 0:45:19.160 old man was intentionally driving a black Nissan X trail 0:45:19.200 --> 0:45:23.640 of pedestrians. Forty five year old male pedestrians sustained non 0:45:23.680 --> 0:45:27.360 life threatening injuries to his lower body he was struck 0:45:27.400 --> 0:45:30.520 by the Nissan. The vehicle is then alleged to have 0:45:30.560 --> 0:45:33.520 left the scene, but was tracked by police to Old 0:45:33.600 --> 0:45:37.160 Beachmere Road, where a twenty nine year old Kibulche man 0:45:37.239 --> 0:45:41.040 was taken into custody. He's been charged with a variety 0:45:41.080 --> 0:45:46.200 of things, including one count each of assault's occasioning bodily harm. 0:45:47.000 --> 0:45:51.520 He'll be at Kibulcher Magistrate's Court on Monday, June sixteenth. 0:45:53.560 --> 0:45:57.040 Amongst those he did drive under the influence of liquor. 0:45:57.320 --> 0:46:04.040 This report says investigation continue into that one eight seven 0:46:04.120 --> 0:46:06.959 three the number plenty of texts, plenty of emails today 0:46:07.000 --> 0:46:10.360 as well. By the way, the US Open Golf, Adam 0:46:10.440 --> 0:46:15.439 Scott hanging tough inside the top ten and Jason Day 0:46:15.920 --> 0:46:17.759 fired one of the best rounds of the day as 0:46:17.760 --> 0:46:21.920 a leaderboard chaos ensues in the second round. Oakmont continues 0:46:21.960 --> 0:46:25.719 to give the world's best golfers plenty of headaches, as 0:46:25.760 --> 0:46:31.759 the projected cut line currently stands at plus seven thunderstorms 0:46:31.760 --> 0:46:35.640 are predicted to sweep through the course. Sam Burns, who 0:46:35.640 --> 0:46:38.319 fired a stunning five hunder par round of sixty five, 0:46:38.360 --> 0:46:43.040 he leads away at three under overnight leader JJ Spawn 0:46:43.120 --> 0:46:47.279 one shot back after seventy two. Meanwhile, Scott remains an 0:46:47.280 --> 0:46:51.240 even par for the tournament a second straight round of seventy. 0:46:52.160 --> 0:46:55.719 The twenty thirteen Master's champ made three birdies and three bogies, 0:46:56.280 --> 0:47:01.080 as only Burns, Spawn and Victor Hoveland one under, sitting 0:47:01.200 --> 0:47:08.640 above Adam Scott. Go Adam Scott, go get him. Couldn't 0:47:08.640 --> 0:47:12.040 care what I say, but makes me feel better. On 0:47:12.120 --> 0:47:15.000 the text, Peter says the coke buyers took no notice 0:47:15.000 --> 0:47:19.799 from the movies, always testing coke before buying. Peter, Yeah, 0:47:20.000 --> 0:47:22.960 see what you did there. Thank you. Luke was Albo 0:47:23.080 --> 0:47:27.120 suggesting that Melbourne could host the Olympic. Tennis and rowing 0:47:27.200 --> 0:47:30.920 have anything to do with sandbagging support for the past. 0:47:30.920 --> 0:47:35.440 It's used by date labor government in Victoria. Ron interesting observation, 0:47:35.640 --> 0:47:38.360 Thank you so much. I have a number of listeners 0:47:38.360 --> 0:47:41.800 in Victoria who said there's no way we deserve any 0:47:42.160 --> 0:47:44.719 slice of the games here given what we did to 0:47:44.760 --> 0:47:49.799 the Commonwealth Games. Very good point. And this one from 0:47:50.200 --> 0:47:53.880 Noel just something to considers. Sydney's not much further away 0:47:53.880 --> 0:47:57.240 from Brisbane than Rocky and there's no crops at Penrith. 0:47:58.480 --> 0:48:03.000 Not a silly point. Somehow, I've engaged Siri on my device. 0:48:04.520 --> 0:48:07.760 Thankfully I've got the volume down, although sirih sometimes talks 0:48:07.800 --> 0:48:10.359 back to you even when the volumes down. I don't 0:48:10.440 --> 0:48:14.560 understand that. But anyway, yes, I understand what you're saying. 0:48:15.800 --> 0:48:21.640 Cold you could combine the Olympic shooting with the rowing 0:48:22.520 --> 0:48:25.359 and have Olympic shooting on the banks of the river 0:48:25.400 --> 0:48:29.680 at Rocky on the lookout for crocs and if they 0:48:30.239 --> 0:48:34.800 find one or see one and shoot it. Hello bonus points. 0:48:35.600 --> 0:48:37.879 Thank you Noil for getting in touch at seventeen after 0:48:37.920 --> 0:48:41.080 ten o'clock. It is twenty one after ten o'clock. I 0:48:41.120 --> 0:48:44.080 want to go to Molwell now in the Latrobe Valley 0:48:44.800 --> 0:48:47.840 in Victoria, where the trial of accused triple murderer Aaron 0:48:47.880 --> 0:48:52.279 Patterson has been taking place. Now it's the case which 0:48:52.320 --> 0:48:56.719 has obviously guarded global attention. Three guests you'll remember died 0:48:56.800 --> 0:49:00.000 after eating beef Wellington at a lunch in twenty five 0:49:00.080 --> 0:49:03.480 twenty three, and the question posed by many is was 0:49:03.520 --> 0:49:07.840 it murder or a tragic mistake? Both Crown prosecutors and 0:49:07.920 --> 0:49:12.560 defense counsel concluded their cross examination of Miss Patterson during 0:49:12.560 --> 0:49:15.880 the week. No more new evidence, you imagine, will be 0:49:15.920 --> 0:49:19.560 delivered in the trial. The next steps closing arguments from 0:49:19.600 --> 0:49:24.600 both sides that happen before the judge delivers final instructions. 0:49:24.640 --> 0:49:28.319 After that, the fate of the accused rests in the 0:49:28.360 --> 0:49:32.200 hands of the jury, who will deliberate before reaching a verdict. Now, 0:49:32.320 --> 0:49:35.839 as you would understand, there are limitations on what can 0:49:35.880 --> 0:49:39.320 be discussed in relation to the case, and it's critical 0:49:39.360 --> 0:49:43.759 we uphold the fundamental legal principle of an accused accused 0:49:44.120 --> 0:49:46.560 right to a fair trial. But I did want to 0:49:46.560 --> 0:49:48.799 get a sense of what life has been like in 0:49:48.880 --> 0:49:52.800 Morewell whilst this trial has been taking place and global 0:49:52.800 --> 0:49:56.279 attention has been focused on the town. So to help 0:49:56.360 --> 0:50:01.960 us out, Nine News Penelopelesh. Amongst other things, Penelope is 0:50:01.960 --> 0:50:05.400 a co host of the nine podcast The Mushroom Trial. 0:50:05.760 --> 0:50:10.000 Say Grace. Now, I know in Australia we just love 0:50:11.120 --> 0:50:16.480 true crime stories, a true crime coverage and if you 0:50:16.520 --> 0:50:18.799 do nothing else, can I just say to you this 0:50:19.000 --> 0:50:22.600 nine and look we're part of the nine Network. Make 0:50:22.680 --> 0:50:25.440 no secret of that. We love all the things our 0:50:25.480 --> 0:50:30.360 network produce and this podcast is just next level. Anyway, 0:50:30.920 --> 0:50:35.080 Penelopelesh is on the line. Thanks for your time, Thanks 0:50:35.120 --> 0:50:38.480 so much for having me on pleasure. So let's start here. 0:50:38.560 --> 0:50:41.759 Paint a picture of what lifers look like in more 0:50:41.760 --> 0:50:45.080 Well while this trial has been going on. Are the 0:50:45.280 --> 0:50:47.480 queues outside the court? What does that look like? 0:50:48.520 --> 0:50:50.920 Well, we've been in more Well now for the end 0:50:50.960 --> 0:50:53.680 of this week was seven weeks, so more than seven 0:50:53.719 --> 0:50:57.000 weeks now that all of the legal parties have been 0:50:57.040 --> 0:51:00.160 down there and the media as well. It's too and 0:51:00.160 --> 0:51:02.560 a half hours from Melbourne, and it's very cold at 0:51:02.560 --> 0:51:04.839 the moment. I could say it certainly turned but yeah, 0:51:04.880 --> 0:51:08.680 there's definitely been, particularly in the last couple of weeks, 0:51:08.719 --> 0:51:12.160 a lot more members of the public coming to try 0:51:12.200 --> 0:51:14.439 and get a seat in the courtroom and be able 0:51:14.480 --> 0:51:16.600 to sit in that public area of the court. And 0:51:17.000 --> 0:51:20.440 there have been hues outside the courtrooms some mornings, some 0:51:20.480 --> 0:51:23.040 people getting there as early as sort of six seven o'clock, 0:51:23.360 --> 0:51:25.920 five o'clock even in the morning to sort of get 0:51:25.960 --> 0:51:27.600 a spot in the courtroom. And then there's obviously a 0:51:27.640 --> 0:51:30.160 lot of media a lot of local media and media 0:51:30.200 --> 0:51:32.560 from around the world as well who've been coming and 0:51:32.600 --> 0:51:33.760 going at different times. 0:51:34.040 --> 0:51:37.920 So I've seen I think your colleague drew a picture 0:51:37.920 --> 0:51:39.960 of what the courtroom looks like. It's not very big. 0:51:40.880 --> 0:51:44.479 So what happens with in particular the media, Let's start there, 0:51:44.560 --> 0:51:46.719 because I think there'd be more than I don't know 0:51:46.719 --> 0:51:49.239 if a date seats or ten seats, that number of 0:51:49.280 --> 0:51:52.680 media attending. Obviously, what happens with the overspill, Yeah, so 0:51:52.880 --> 0:51:53.400 I think. 0:51:53.200 --> 0:51:54.840 What you're talking about there, there's been a lot of 0:51:54.880 --> 0:51:58.400 talk about these balloted media seats. There's six media seats 0:51:58.400 --> 0:52:01.799 that are every day put aside specifically for media organizations, 0:52:01.840 --> 0:52:03.920 and they're ballance it off to make sure everyone's sort 0:52:03.920 --> 0:52:04.239 of gets a. 0:52:04.239 --> 0:52:05.000 Fair go there. 0:52:05.239 --> 0:52:07.960 There is a way for media to observe this from 0:52:07.960 --> 0:52:11.160 another room in the courtroom, where there's a live link in, 0:52:11.360 --> 0:52:14.960 so that media can accurately and fairly report what's been 0:52:15.000 --> 0:52:16.759 going on in front of the jury as well. So 0:52:16.800 --> 0:52:20.040 there is that opportunity for media covering this case. But 0:52:20.480 --> 0:52:23.200 most of the time, other than a few days, I've 0:52:23.239 --> 0:52:25.600 been able to usually get a seat somewhere in the 0:52:25.640 --> 0:52:28.720 courtroom and in the public area or squeeze in somewhere. 0:52:28.719 --> 0:52:31.480 People come and go throughout the day and usually there's 0:52:31.560 --> 0:52:33.440 normally a way that you can get a spot sitting 0:52:33.480 --> 0:52:34.120 there for a while. 0:52:34.680 --> 0:52:38.440 And Penelope, have they locals? I know there are people 0:52:38.440 --> 0:52:42.040 that travel around the world or perhaps around Australia to 0:52:42.080 --> 0:52:45.160 look at significant cases. If we've seen this is one, 0:52:45.200 --> 0:52:48.560 it must be. Are the people largely locals from what 0:52:48.640 --> 0:52:49.480 you can make out. 0:52:50.000 --> 0:52:52.640 Yeah, there's been some people that we've sort of spoken to. 0:52:52.760 --> 0:52:55.120 As you go in and out, you all going through 0:52:55.200 --> 0:52:57.520 security lines and things like that, so you sort of 0:52:57.560 --> 0:53:00.400 end up having a chat to people sometimes. Yeah, there 0:53:00.440 --> 0:53:02.040 are a lot of people who are sort of from 0:53:02.040 --> 0:53:06.120 that local gips Land area who have become interested in 0:53:06.160 --> 0:53:08.960 this particular case and they've wanted to sort of come 0:53:08.960 --> 0:53:11.520 and see what's going on. There are definitely people coming 0:53:11.520 --> 0:53:13.959 from Melbourne and further and I think that's one point. 0:53:14.000 --> 0:53:16.279 There have been a few people from interstate as well 0:53:16.280 --> 0:53:18.719 coming to see what's happening. But then of course there's 0:53:18.719 --> 0:53:20.920 a lot of police, there's a lot of lawyers, there's 0:53:20.960 --> 0:53:22.840 a lot of media as well, so it's quite a mixture. 0:53:23.200 --> 0:53:27.520 And is there a space for supporters of people involved 0:53:27.520 --> 0:53:28.279 in the trial or not. 0:53:29.200 --> 0:53:31.920 Yeah, so this is sort of with the balloting of 0:53:31.960 --> 0:53:34.000 the system to make sure that the media don't take 0:53:34.000 --> 0:53:35.680 all the seats or the public don't take all the seats. 0:53:35.719 --> 0:53:38.960 There are sort of rows that they make sure that 0:53:39.040 --> 0:53:42.520 particularly that the family can sit in. Ian Wilkinson, who's 0:53:42.520 --> 0:53:45.160 the only surviving lunch guest, He's been there a lot 0:53:45.160 --> 0:53:46.880 of the days, and a lot of members of his 0:53:46.960 --> 0:53:49.359 family and the Patterson family, they make sure that they 0:53:49.360 --> 0:53:52.239 are able to be there together if they wish to 0:53:52.239 --> 0:53:53.160 be watching this trial. 0:53:53.440 --> 0:53:56.520 Yeah. Now, I know you've been working hard with our 0:53:56.719 --> 0:53:59.680 legal team to understand what we can and can't talk about. 0:54:00.000 --> 0:54:01.960 T plenty of listens saying, oh, come on, have an opinion, 0:54:02.000 --> 0:54:04.960 but that's not what we can do here, and we've 0:54:04.960 --> 0:54:07.560 got restrictions. So what I can ask you, I think 0:54:07.719 --> 0:54:11.040 is one are the key facts of the trials so 0:54:11.160 --> 0:54:14.319 far that have been laid out for souls to see. 0:54:14.960 --> 0:54:19.759 Well, the prosecution alleged that Aaron Patterson deliberately and intentionally 0:54:19.800 --> 0:54:23.120 poisoned her lunch guests. That's the they allegation from them, 0:54:23.719 --> 0:54:27.279 and that's been put to her through cross examination through 0:54:27.320 --> 0:54:29.560 many days on the witness stand. She has finished now, 0:54:29.600 --> 0:54:31.880 but she was on the witness stand across eight days, 0:54:32.160 --> 0:54:35.280 and they put to her many different questions and allegations, 0:54:35.719 --> 0:54:40.120 accusing her of deliberately foraging for deathcap mushrooms and then 0:54:40.160 --> 0:54:43.400 putting them in this meal. She's also it's been alleged 0:54:43.400 --> 0:54:46.919 by the prosecution that she told these in laws, these 0:54:46.920 --> 0:54:49.440 family members that she had or might have a cancer 0:54:49.480 --> 0:54:53.200 diagnosis in order to get them to come to her home. Now, 0:54:53.600 --> 0:54:56.600 the defense argues this was a tragic accident, that Aaron 0:54:56.640 --> 0:55:00.440 Patterson was not aware there was anything of any concern 0:55:00.600 --> 0:55:02.600 in this meal, that she made a beef well in 0:55:02.680 --> 0:55:06.880 term for her loved ones, that she realized in the 0:55:07.000 --> 0:55:10.640 days afterwards that perhaps some dried mushrooms that she'd added, 0:55:10.640 --> 0:55:13.080 that there was a possibility. She says that it crossed 0:55:13.120 --> 0:55:15.600 her mind that there could have been some foraged mushrooms 0:55:15.640 --> 0:55:18.400 in that mix, that she could have they could have 0:55:18.400 --> 0:55:21.680 accidentally got mixed up. But she says she never deliberately 0:55:22.280 --> 0:55:26.400 searched for or gathered deathcat mushrooms, that she never deliberately 0:55:26.440 --> 0:55:30.480 put anything poisonous into this dish, and that when her 0:55:30.560 --> 0:55:33.000 loved ones began to fall ill, she says she also 0:55:33.120 --> 0:55:36.640 fell ill and she panicked, she says, after there was 0:55:36.680 --> 0:55:39.480 an allegation from her estranged husband and this sort of 0:55:39.480 --> 0:55:41.640 all crossed her mind, And she says it was in 0:55:41.680 --> 0:55:44.320 that panic and in the concern that she might lose 0:55:44.360 --> 0:55:47.200 her children that she got rid of her dehydrator, not 0:55:47.400 --> 0:55:50.880 knowing that that necessarily there had been anything in this 0:55:50.960 --> 0:55:53.600 meal that was a problem, but that she was concerned 0:55:53.760 --> 0:55:56.319 and she sort of started to do the getting rid 0:55:56.360 --> 0:55:59.520 of the dehydrator and then also wiping her phone. She 0:55:59.560 --> 0:56:02.719 says she factory reset a phone because she was concerned 0:56:03.320 --> 0:56:05.640 that there could be sort of some images on a 0:56:05.719 --> 0:56:08.960 device of her dehydrating mushrooms. But she said she had 0:56:09.000 --> 0:56:10.920 a love of mushrooms, and she's spoken about that a 0:56:10.920 --> 0:56:13.560 lot on the stand, especially with her defense barrister, that 0:56:13.640 --> 0:56:17.279 she developed this in foraging different fungi back around the 0:56:17.320 --> 0:56:20.560 lockdown time twenty twenty, and that she had been doing 0:56:20.560 --> 0:56:23.080 that and adding them to her food and her children's 0:56:23.120 --> 0:56:26.440 food for some time because she did quite enjoy the 0:56:26.480 --> 0:56:28.400 taste of mushrooms and that was just part of the 0:56:28.400 --> 0:56:31.120 way that she cooks. But she denies that she ever 0:56:31.200 --> 0:56:33.360 deliberately poisoned anyone. 0:56:33.719 --> 0:56:37.560 So what lies ahead, we've got closing arguments and then 0:56:37.600 --> 0:56:38.560 I guess deliberation. 0:56:39.600 --> 0:56:41.759 Yeah, so the next step will be now that Aaron 0:56:41.760 --> 0:56:45.040 Patterson has left the stand. The defense confirmed with the 0:56:45.800 --> 0:56:49.320 judge late this week that he has closed his case, 0:56:49.400 --> 0:56:51.640 so there's no more evidence to be called. The next 0:56:51.640 --> 0:56:53.719 part will be those closing arguments. As you mentioned, the 0:56:53.800 --> 0:56:56.520 jury has been told that they will take a couple 0:56:56.520 --> 0:56:59.440 of days, possibly for both sides, so that is expected 0:56:59.480 --> 0:57:02.520 to be a relatively lengthy time frame, and then the 0:57:02.600 --> 0:57:04.759 judge will have to give his charge, which is the 0:57:04.760 --> 0:57:07.600 instructions that every jury is given in every case by 0:57:07.760 --> 0:57:11.319 the judge presiding over that as to sort of how 0:57:11.360 --> 0:57:14.600 to read some legal elements of this case. And the 0:57:14.680 --> 0:57:17.360 judge told the jury late this week to have a 0:57:17.400 --> 0:57:20.200 long weekend, that there were some elements that he needed 0:57:20.240 --> 0:57:22.360 to look at for that and between the parties, and 0:57:22.400 --> 0:57:23.920 that the jury didn't need to be. 0:57:23.880 --> 0:57:24.400 There for that. 0:57:24.520 --> 0:57:27.160 So they'll come back on Monday at ten thirty and 0:57:27.520 --> 0:57:31.200 exactly what happens next it will be the closing arguments 0:57:31.240 --> 0:57:33.880 before the jury. As to whether that happens exactly on 0:57:33.920 --> 0:57:36.000 Monday morning or it's a little bit later, we'll have to. 0:57:35.920 --> 0:57:36.560 Wait and see. 0:57:36.680 --> 0:57:40.920 Okay, So it sounds again just speculating, but if there's 0:57:41.320 --> 0:57:44.800 two days of wrapping up from both sides, the jury 0:57:45.080 --> 0:57:48.680 may not even begin their deliberations until the week after 0:57:48.960 --> 0:57:50.520 next that's got to be a possibility. 0:57:51.240 --> 0:57:53.600 Yeah, so the jury has been told a week or 0:57:53.640 --> 0:57:56.680 so ago by the judge of these sort of estimated lengths, 0:57:56.680 --> 0:57:58.640 and he very much said, I don't want to put 0:57:58.680 --> 0:58:01.280 an exact timeframe on it, you know, obviously things can 0:58:01.320 --> 0:58:03.520 always change at different times, but yeah, we are expecting 0:58:03.560 --> 0:58:04.600 it to be quite a few days. 0:58:04.600 --> 0:58:06.000 So it could still be. 0:58:05.960 --> 0:58:08.360 Another week before the jury go out and deliberate. And 0:58:08.360 --> 0:58:11.240 they've certainly been told by the judge already. But whenever 0:58:11.280 --> 0:58:14.000 they do that, that is entirely he said, the shoot 0:58:14.000 --> 0:58:15.919 who's on the other sort? For how long they take 0:58:15.960 --> 0:58:18.280 compared to how long these other elements have taken. So 0:58:18.600 --> 0:58:20.800 this all could be going on for quite a while yet. 0:58:20.960 --> 0:58:24.440 Yeah, you can listen to the Mushroom Trials, Say Grace 0:58:24.840 --> 0:58:28.520 wherever you get your podcasts. It's a nine podcast. It's brilliant. 0:58:29.000 --> 0:58:31.120 Penelope Lish, thank you so much for your time. 0:58:31.640 --> 0:58:32.800 Thank you very much for having me. 0:58:32.920 --> 0:58:34.600 Not at all great to talk to you. Twenty nine 0:58:34.640 --> 0:58:37.200 to eleven o'clock now quickly before I get to Simon 0:58:37.240 --> 0:58:39.600 Stephenson and Aska tradeye by the way one three one 0:58:39.600 --> 0:58:41.480 eight seven three if you've got a question about your 0:58:41.480 --> 0:58:46.320 DIY gear. Police have changed a man for allegedly making 0:58:46.400 --> 0:58:51.800 death threats and sending abusive messages to Newcastle winger James Schiller. 0:58:52.760 --> 0:58:55.480 Shiller was a victim of horrific abuse on his social 0:58:55.520 --> 0:58:59.720 media account following Newcastle's win against the Seagulls last week 0:59:01.960 --> 0:59:06.600 and frankly, I'm not going to read what the messages say, 0:59:07.320 --> 0:59:12.480 but it's absolutely appalling. Late mccrorarie Detectives launched an investigation 0:59:12.640 --> 0:59:17.680 into the incident after Schiller was rattled by police by 0:59:17.720 --> 0:59:21.480 the abuse. I would say understandingly having the chance to 0:59:21.520 --> 0:59:24.320 read it. It led to police arresting a twenty year 0:59:24.320 --> 0:59:28.040 old man yesterday afternoon. The man front at Belmont Police Station, 0:59:28.280 --> 0:59:34.760 charged with the use of a carriage service to menace, harass, offend. 0:59:35.160 --> 0:59:38.400 He was granted conditional bail. He'll be at Belmont Local 0:59:38.440 --> 0:59:46.240 Court Wednesday, July thirty. Awful stuff. North Brisbane District Police 0:59:46.240 --> 0:59:51.680 have charged thirty six people with multiple offenses, including unlawful 0:59:51.720 --> 0:59:55.840 possession of weapons in a policing blitz across the gateway 0:59:56.440 --> 1:00:02.440 as part of Operation Brisbane Safe Yesterday. Officers, Highway Patrol, 1:00:02.560 --> 1:00:06.960 Crime Squad members, General Duties officers joined forces to target 1:00:07.000 --> 1:00:12.400 property offenses and knife crime.

Police followed 1:00:53.560 --> 1:00:57.160 the sedan to a gimpy road car parking Kedron.

Thirty six people charged now 1:01:27.680 --> 1:01:32.480 on weekends. Asker training thanks to not Be Kitchens since 1:01:32.600 --> 1:01:36.560 nineteen thirty nine and with Sydney's largest kitchen showrooms and 1:01:36.720 --> 1:01:40.840 free in home design surveys. Simon Stephenson's in the studio 1:01:40.960 --> 1:01:42.800 one three, one eight seven three to ask him a 1:01:42.880 --> 1:01:46.600 question on the open line. Any diy question you have, 1:01:47.160 --> 1:01:49.200 No job is too big or too small and there's 1:01:49.240 --> 1:01:52.160 no silly questions here. One three one eight seven three. 1:01:52.280 --> 1:01:55.280 Hi mate, you well, I'm good mate, yourself very well, indeed, 1:01:55.400 --> 1:01:57.479 very well. Indeed we're going to start today by talking 1:01:57.560 --> 1:02:03.640 about painting difficult surfaces for example a tile, yep, and 1:02:04.080 --> 1:02:06.120 other things. I mean you hear about people and we've 1:02:06.120 --> 1:02:11.000 talked about it before. Freshening the kitchen cupboards. So look, 1:02:11.040 --> 1:02:12.560 get you've got to use the right paint would be 1:02:12.560 --> 1:02:13.520 the right place to start. 1:02:13.720 --> 1:02:15.760 The right paint has a lot to do with it 1:02:15.840 --> 1:02:18.920 and using a good quality paint, using something that you 1:02:19.400 --> 1:02:22.640 can afford, the best you can afford, because you know 1:02:22.880 --> 1:02:25.600 the labor doing it all and all, the preparation is 1:02:25.640 --> 1:02:28.560 the is the costly, most expensive part about it, and 1:02:28.920 --> 1:02:31.680 the bit that takes you the longest, So using the 1:02:31.680 --> 1:02:34.960 best quality paint. But a friend of mine sent me 1:02:34.960 --> 1:02:37.680 some photos this week of a bathroom that you know, 1:02:38.040 --> 1:02:40.680 was painted by somebody, and the paint was all peeling 1:02:40.680 --> 1:02:43.000 off the tiles and things like that, and I just said, look, 1:02:44.240 --> 1:02:47.320 most importantly, where you painting areas like that. It could 1:02:47.360 --> 1:02:51.680 be a kitchen, could be a bathroom. Whatever is that preparation. 1:02:51.840 --> 1:02:56.360 It's sanding surfaces and cleaning them thoroughly, because no paint's 1:02:56.400 --> 1:03:00.200 going to stick over soap scum, greasy fingerprints. You know, 1:03:00.240 --> 1:03:02.920 you might not see what's on that surface. Yeah, but 1:03:03.280 --> 1:03:04.680 there's definitely something there. 1:03:04.760 --> 1:03:04.960 You know. 1:03:05.000 --> 1:03:07.479 Handrails, I couldn't tell you the amount of times I've 1:03:08.040 --> 1:03:10.400 gone to handrails that people have painted over. You know, 1:03:10.920 --> 1:03:12.880 people walk up and down those handrails with their hands 1:03:12.880 --> 1:03:15.160 over them all the time. There's so much debris on there, 1:03:15.200 --> 1:03:18.640 it's just insane. So yeah, spend the time sand it, 1:03:18.720 --> 1:03:21.760 clean it, and then do that preparation right from the 1:03:21.800 --> 1:03:23.880 get go, and you shouldn't have a problem as long 1:03:23.920 --> 1:03:25.000 as you're using the right paint. 1:03:25.160 --> 1:03:28.920 So with a tile, and we talk here in nor 1:03:28.960 --> 1:03:33.040 Glass advertised with it's about nor cleanep So with a tile, 1:03:33.160 --> 1:03:36.920 is that something you would typically sand first? Or are 1:03:36.960 --> 1:03:40.320 there paints that have really strong adhesion to something like 1:03:40.360 --> 1:03:40.960 a time. 1:03:40.960 --> 1:03:42.440 Look, they do have strong adhesion. 1:03:42.480 --> 1:03:45.720 The one we use from nor Glass is their ship 1:03:45.720 --> 1:03:46.280 shaped primer. 1:03:46.320 --> 1:03:47.440 It's a two pack primer. 1:03:47.960 --> 1:03:50.000 They've also got a single pack primer as well that 1:03:50.080 --> 1:03:53.000 sticks really really well. Paints have come a long way 1:03:53.080 --> 1:03:57.560 in the past sort of ten twenty years, but again, nothing, 1:03:57.640 --> 1:04:01.000 even those good quality paints that stick real well won't 1:04:01.000 --> 1:04:03.680 stick to a surface if it's not prepared properly. So 1:04:04.600 --> 1:04:07.320 with a tile, give it a light sand. You're not 1:04:07.360 --> 1:04:10.000 going to scratch the surface a whole lot, but give 1:04:10.000 --> 1:04:12.720 it a light sand anyway, with a sanding sponge or 1:04:12.720 --> 1:04:16.919 a really fine grit wet and dry sandpaper and then 1:04:17.000 --> 1:04:20.360 clean it thoroughly. And that nor Clean really good. And 1:04:20.400 --> 1:04:23.560 you change your cloths regularly so you're not using a 1:04:23.600 --> 1:04:25.240 cloth that's got all the dirt on it that you've 1:04:25.280 --> 1:04:28.320 just washed off, and just keep using that same one 1:04:28.360 --> 1:04:30.400 until it's black or something like that. 1:04:30.640 --> 1:04:32.520 It's a great cloth. I've had it for ten years 1:04:32.920 --> 1:04:36.880 still does. Actually it's working well on the handrail. This 1:04:37.000 --> 1:04:40.000 is self indulgent Luki at play here, because I've got 1:04:40.000 --> 1:04:42.720 a handrail now, a timber one. Is that something that 1:04:42.760 --> 1:04:45.880 you would clean with the nor Clean product or doesn't 1:04:45.920 --> 1:04:48.480 need to be that. I don't want to say harsh, 1:04:48.520 --> 1:04:49.439 but something. 1:04:49.280 --> 1:04:52.439 Yeah, look nor Clean clean or even a sugar soap, 1:04:52.520 --> 1:04:55.520 you know, sugar soaping it from the hardware store, paint stores. 1:04:56.280 --> 1:04:58.520 You know, sugar soap's been around for many years, and 1:04:58.560 --> 1:05:01.960 it will break down that grease as well, and you 1:05:02.000 --> 1:05:04.240 can give it a really good clean and then rinse 1:05:04.280 --> 1:05:07.360 it and make sure you get all the sugar soap 1:05:07.440 --> 1:05:09.400 debris off from that as well. 1:05:09.440 --> 1:05:11.160 Not that I have early hands, but there might be 1:05:11.200 --> 1:05:15.720 someone in my place that does get it. Peter, Yes, 1:05:15.800 --> 1:05:16.840 good morning morning. 1:05:18.760 --> 1:05:23.520 Look Simon, I have a place in Saint Susey with 1:05:23.800 --> 1:05:28.600 the aluminium railey. It's few years old and the black 1:05:29.160 --> 1:05:34.040 color which was originally powder coated on the aluminium in 1:05:34.120 --> 1:05:40.320 places where they welded the joint, that's got no color there. 1:05:40.640 --> 1:05:43.160 Can you please tell me what very much what you 1:05:43.320 --> 1:05:48.000 do is and how can I either spray flat black 1:05:48.160 --> 1:05:53.360 or brush flat black on? And none of these places. 1:05:52.920 --> 1:05:55.520 All right, And why are flat black? I wouldn't be 1:05:55.640 --> 1:05:58.920 using on a railing outside. It's aluminum, you're saying. I 1:05:59.200 --> 1:06:02.960 would think you should using a satin finish and not. 1:06:03.000 --> 1:06:07.640 A flat black. So yeah, so use a saturn. 1:06:07.880 --> 1:06:10.320 Look that there's lots of spray cans now that will 1:06:10.360 --> 1:06:15.080 go directly onto a surface like that, and Rustolium do 1:06:15.160 --> 1:06:19.040 make one. So if you go to your local hardware store, 1:06:19.400 --> 1:06:21.200 look at the spray cans. And I used one a 1:06:21.240 --> 1:06:23.200 few weeks ago that had like a dial on it 1:06:23.240 --> 1:06:25.600 and you could change the setting of the spray not 1:06:26.440 --> 1:06:30.720 on your spray can and it was fantastic. So you know, 1:06:30.800 --> 1:06:33.919 Rustolium do make some good products there. If you want 1:06:33.960 --> 1:06:36.160 to brush it, then I'd be going to something like 1:06:36.200 --> 1:06:39.160 the nor Glass products as well. You can look at that, 1:06:39.360 --> 1:06:42.960 but there's a few different options there cleaning, sanding, and 1:06:43.040 --> 1:06:47.080 preparing that surface first, making sure there's no oxidization with 1:06:47.200 --> 1:06:50.320 that aluminum. But then you can go ahead and with 1:06:50.360 --> 1:06:52.040 either a spray can or a brush. 1:06:51.960 --> 1:06:58.400 Is well, let's ask is spraying easier, quicker give you 1:06:58.400 --> 1:06:59.120 a better result? 1:06:59.240 --> 1:07:01.040 Look, you're going to get a really nice result with 1:07:01.080 --> 1:07:04.040 a spray can. You know it's just you've got to 1:07:04.080 --> 1:07:04.560 mask up. 1:07:04.600 --> 1:07:07.000 You've got to make sure that you're protecting the surfaces 1:07:07.040 --> 1:07:09.080 around you, of course, and definitely don't do it on 1:07:09.120 --> 1:07:10.880 a windy day, you know. Just you've got to pick 1:07:10.920 --> 1:07:13.200 the right time and work out whether it's going to 1:07:13.200 --> 1:07:15.560 be easier to do that with a spray can. 1:07:15.920 --> 1:07:18.720 All right, good luck you, Peter. Morning Sandra. How can 1:07:18.760 --> 1:07:19.280 we help you? 1:07:20.680 --> 1:07:21.120 Good morning? 1:07:21.200 --> 1:07:22.320 Look, Good morning, Simon. 1:07:22.440 --> 1:07:25.240 Morning Simon. 1:07:26.040 --> 1:07:29.120 Last month I heard you talking about the nor Glass 1:07:29.120 --> 1:07:35.040 product for kitchen bench tops, and I'm just revamping my 1:07:35.160 --> 1:07:41.880 kitchen and I bought the nor Glass product, the to 1:07:42.040 --> 1:07:48.240 pack primer and the nor Sane finished code. I've painted 1:07:48.280 --> 1:07:52.240 many things over the years, but I would like a 1:07:52.280 --> 1:07:58.480 professional painter, one experienced with this. I did send you 1:07:58.520 --> 1:08:01.320 a couple of messages, one through your website and then 1:08:01.400 --> 1:08:04.720 one through your email over the last few weeks, but 1:08:04.840 --> 1:08:06.600 I haven't received the reply yet. 1:08:06.840 --> 1:08:07.160 Sorry. 1:08:07.520 --> 1:08:09.480 I don't know. It might have gone into my spam. 1:08:09.600 --> 1:08:12.280 I will check those emails and I will respond to 1:08:12.280 --> 1:08:13.280 those today for you. 1:08:13.440 --> 1:08:15.160 Okay, So but. 1:08:15.160 --> 1:08:17.559 Look, I'll see if I can find somebody has your 1:08:17.600 --> 1:08:19.680 emails told me what area you live in? 1:08:20.600 --> 1:08:22.280 Yes, I live in Croydon. 1:08:22.000 --> 1:08:24.880 Park, Okay, I will I will check those emails today 1:08:24.880 --> 1:08:26.120 and see I'll get back to you. 1:08:26.400 --> 1:08:28.240 And you know what, Sandra, just on that point I 1:08:28.240 --> 1:08:30.519 think she makes and you and I have talked about 1:08:30.520 --> 1:08:32.800 this off air. I had to be honest with you. 1:08:32.880 --> 1:08:37.840 I'm a bit hesitant to use two pack yep only 1:08:37.880 --> 1:08:39.960 because I don't want to screw up the mixing of it. 1:08:40.000 --> 1:08:43.080 And you know you normally take the lid off and 1:08:43.200 --> 1:08:45.880 you know your paints after preparing. Of course, yes, but 1:08:46.760 --> 1:08:51.240 the two pack is a challenge for I think anyone, 1:08:51.640 --> 1:08:54.160 a lot of di wives. Robert got that wrong? Is 1:08:54.160 --> 1:08:54.840 that just Sandra? 1:08:55.360 --> 1:08:57.680 Look, I think I think it's really important to just 1:08:58.160 --> 1:09:01.080 sit down, spend ten minutes and read the instructions because 1:09:01.320 --> 1:09:04.240 and especially like go onto the nor Glass website and 1:09:04.560 --> 1:09:06.920 look at the PDFs that they have and they'll give 1:09:06.960 --> 1:09:10.160 you all the information about mixing. And as long as 1:09:10.200 --> 1:09:12.880 you're mixing, the ratio is right and usually it's like 1:09:13.360 --> 1:09:15.960 a two part of one to a one part of 1:09:16.000 --> 1:09:18.760 the other. And as long as you're measuring, and you 1:09:18.800 --> 1:09:21.320 can buy measuring cups that actually have the markers on 1:09:21.360 --> 1:09:24.680 them so you know where to fill to and then 1:09:24.720 --> 1:09:27.519 when you stir, you stir the product up, you let 1:09:27.520 --> 1:09:30.080 it sit for ten minutes before you start to use it, 1:09:30.320 --> 1:09:32.400 and then give it another stir, and that gives that 1:09:32.640 --> 1:09:34.320 time to react to the product. 1:09:34.880 --> 1:09:35.720 And the most. 1:09:35.439 --> 1:09:39.360 Important thing is wearing respirators and making sure that you 1:09:39.439 --> 1:09:43.040 protect yourself that way. But look, applying the paint itself 1:09:43.400 --> 1:09:46.360 is not really any more difficult than painting with a 1:09:46.439 --> 1:09:49.719 regular water based paint or something. Is just that time 1:09:49.880 --> 1:09:52.760 to sit down and mixing and getting it right that way. 1:09:52.840 --> 1:09:54.600 And I think if you've got, say you've got a 1:09:54.600 --> 1:09:56.479 little area to do and you end up with a 1:09:56.560 --> 1:09:58.760 leader of paint and you want to think, now, how 1:09:58.800 --> 1:10:00.600 do I keep half of this? I'm not going to 1:10:00.600 --> 1:10:04.000 even need half of this because you know some of 1:10:04.000 --> 1:10:07.160 the some of the products aren't aren't cheap, No, because 1:10:07.160 --> 1:10:13.080 they're very good. Absolutely can you do that? Use half 1:10:13.080 --> 1:10:14.880 of it, use half of it and keep half of them? 1:10:15.000 --> 1:10:16.240 Yeah, absolutely you can. 1:10:16.360 --> 1:10:19.479 So yeah, you just again you're mixing the amount you 1:10:19.560 --> 1:10:20.519 need with a measuring cup. 1:10:20.680 --> 1:10:22.920 That's right, the measuring cup, so you don't use it. 1:10:23.320 --> 1:10:25.040 And when you put the lids back on, make sure 1:10:25.080 --> 1:10:27.280 you clean the little grooves out where the lid goes 1:10:27.320 --> 1:10:29.439 back on, so they're not full of paint, so just 1:10:29.720 --> 1:10:33.040 and don't contaminate the two products, you know, make sure 1:10:33.040 --> 1:10:34.760 you just clean and just take your time. 1:10:35.120 --> 1:10:37.880 Is it possible? And we've got to take a break. 1:10:37.920 --> 1:10:40.040 I'm sorry to occupy this time, but I think everyone 1:10:40.040 --> 1:10:43.960 would have this problem. Is it possible to pour a 1:10:44.080 --> 1:10:49.000 can of paint into a roller tray without it going 1:10:49.479 --> 1:10:51.719 dripping down the side of the can. What's the trick? 1:10:52.880 --> 1:10:53.120 Look? 1:10:54.000 --> 1:10:54.639 Not really. 1:10:55.280 --> 1:10:58.000 I think the quickest way is be quick about tipping 1:10:58.000 --> 1:11:01.200 it and quick about the returners. Well, right, so it's 1:11:01.240 --> 1:11:03.200 not like you know, if you take your time, you 1:11:03.200 --> 1:11:05.320 think about it, you're tipping your can of paint. If 1:11:05.360 --> 1:11:07.200 you go back slowly, it's just going to run right 1:11:07.240 --> 1:11:09.400 down the side. So just be a little bit faster 1:11:09.560 --> 1:11:12.559 at both right and obviously taking your time at it. 1:11:12.680 --> 1:11:15.160 Okay, it's twelve to eleven. Back in a second. Just 1:11:15.200 --> 1:11:17.799 a couple of texts before we get back to callers. 1:11:19.400 --> 1:11:25.720 Mitch tells us the rustolium spray is amazing, but you 1:11:25.720 --> 1:11:28.559 shouldn't mix it with other brands. So if you put 1:11:28.560 --> 1:11:31.400 it clear over due lux is that your experience is 1:11:31.439 --> 1:11:32.400 serving Mitchell, that's. 1:11:32.280 --> 1:11:35.840 It, because look, when you don't know what the component 1:11:36.040 --> 1:11:38.320 is that makes up that spray cand So it might 1:11:38.360 --> 1:11:40.800 not be compatible with the undercoat you use, and it 1:11:40.840 --> 1:11:43.280 could fry what I call fry the paint. So if 1:11:43.280 --> 1:11:46.439 you use an undercoat that's incompatible and you use something 1:11:46.479 --> 1:11:48.639 else over the top of it, the paint can all 1:11:48.720 --> 1:11:51.400 like it fries up and becomes all crinkly. 1:11:52.080 --> 1:11:53.120 It just means the. 1:11:54.920 --> 1:11:57.680 Thinner that's used in the top coat is reacting with 1:11:57.760 --> 1:12:01.200 the paint that's underneath. So try to keep with a 1:12:01.240 --> 1:12:03.240 product that's made by the same company. 1:12:03.320 --> 1:12:08.280 All right, now, Rosie's there, roll, oh Rosie, what's your 1:12:08.360 --> 1:12:13.759 question for the boy? What song was that? Jon? Armor Training? 1:12:14.720 --> 1:12:14.960 Bye? 1:12:15.040 --> 1:12:18.479 Rosy called a lunatic? Sorry, what's the question. 1:12:20.240 --> 1:12:24.679 I've got a glass sliding door that's not sliding very well. 1:12:24.760 --> 1:12:28.080 It's causing like fiction on the bottom of the track. 1:12:28.880 --> 1:12:31.640 So I was wondering is there something that could be 1:12:31.720 --> 1:12:34.680 fixed or would I need to have the door replaced. 1:12:34.840 --> 1:12:38.479 So generally it's a quick, quite a simple fix. If 1:12:38.520 --> 1:12:42.240 you've got somebody that's handy in the house, you literally 1:12:42.320 --> 1:12:45.719 lift the door up. It will come off the track itself, so. 1:12:45.640 --> 1:12:47.120 You get hold of either side of the door. 1:12:47.120 --> 1:12:49.760 Two people is handy lift the door, pop it off 1:12:49.800 --> 1:12:52.519 the track and turn it on its side, and there 1:12:52.560 --> 1:12:55.719 will be two wheels, one either side, and it's generally 1:12:55.800 --> 1:12:59.200 one screw to undo that wheel. And you can go 1:12:59.240 --> 1:13:02.080 down the hardware and buy a matching wheel exactly the 1:13:02.120 --> 1:13:04.160 same and just pop it straight back in place. 1:13:04.479 --> 1:13:05.280 So it's a really. 1:13:05.200 --> 1:13:07.960 Quite simple job to do, so not that difficult. 1:13:08.120 --> 1:13:10.400 If you go online look at some videos that you 1:13:10.439 --> 1:13:13.000 know show you how to do it. 1:13:13.240 --> 1:13:15.240 It's it's a really really easy job. 1:13:16.040 --> 1:13:17.720 All right, Thank you so much for that. 1:13:18.000 --> 1:13:20.960 Thank you, Rosie. And just so that people don't think 1:13:21.000 --> 1:13:22.439 I am a leone to tick the song I was 1:13:22.439 --> 1:13:30.560 referring to, see, I used to be a jock in 1:13:30.600 --> 1:13:34.040 the old days.

On the text, David says, 1:14:24.920 --> 1:14:27.080 I've got laminade type covering on a couple of older 1:14:27.160 --> 1:14:30.719 kitchen cupboards, lifting around the edges, catching on cupboards when opening. 1:14:31.040 --> 1:14:33.600 Best way to stick down these edges please. 1:14:33.520 --> 1:14:38.200 Using a contact adhesive and you'll put glue on both surfaces, 1:14:38.600 --> 1:14:40.519 allow it to sit for about twenty minutes, and then 1:14:40.560 --> 1:14:43.519 push them together and it will glue instantly.

Look, you know, we're only human, 1:17:40.360 --> 1:17:43.599 As Billy Joel famously said, we're supposed to make mistakes. 1:17:44.479 --> 1:17:47.439 But how long does it take for the message to 1:17:47.479 --> 1:17:47.960 get through? 1:17:48.000 --> 1:17:48.200 You know? 1:17:48.240 --> 1:17:54.160 There are times where you might be enjoying the allegedly 1:17:54.520 --> 1:17:59.000 it might be enjoying the beverage. And you know if 1:17:59.000 --> 1:18:02.080 you have a couple that you've got to call time. Okay, Well, 1:18:02.120 --> 1:18:03.880 I enjoyed the bed rich and the price I pay 1:18:04.000 --> 1:18:06.400 is I simply can't put the key in the ignition 1:18:06.479 --> 1:18:10.519 and drive, is it? How's that not easily understood by everyone. 1:18:12.520 --> 1:18:16.599 Quantus has been crowned the world's safest airline, with its 1:18:16.640 --> 1:18:20.120 pilots considered the best trained, most disciplined, and most professional 1:18:20.160 --> 1:18:26.720 in the industry. The study conducted by forty two kft 1:18:27.040 --> 1:18:31.519 dot com analyzing one hundred and forty two airline carriers 1:18:31.560 --> 1:18:35.719 across the globe. Quantus was named the leader for airline safety. 1:18:36.240 --> 1:18:40.519 Editor in chief Jeffrey Thomas good Man. Jeffrey said the 1:18:40.520 --> 1:18:45.080 airline safety performance was unmatched according to independent orders. He 1:18:45.120 --> 1:18:48.120 says Quantus pilots are considered the best train most disciplined, 1:18:48.560 --> 1:18:52.640 and most professional. The airline has led nearly every significant 1:18:52.680 --> 1:18:56.839 operational safety advance over the past sixty years. The second 1:18:56.880 --> 1:19:02.920 safest airline Qatar, followed by Air New Zealand, Cathay Pacific 1:19:03.360 --> 1:19:09.320 and Emirates Virgin Australia. Was named the sixth safest, with 1:19:10.200 --> 1:19:15.800 Jetstar named the second safest low cost airline. HK Express 1:19:15.840 --> 1:19:18.479 the leader in the top five low cost airline groups, 1:19:19.400 --> 1:19:25.040 followed by Jetstar, Easy Jet, Ryanair and Air Asia. Mister 1:19:25.080 --> 1:19:28.960 Thomas said the top safest airlines were separated by narrow margins. 1:19:30.160 --> 1:19:35.040 He says, unlike traditional safety assessments that rely on certification checkboxes, 1:19:36.000 --> 1:19:44.240 his site uses a dynamic data driven methodology quantas. Australia's 1:19:44.240 --> 1:19:48.719 recorded its best ever gender equality ranking in a major 1:19:48.760 --> 1:19:51.519 global report, but the government's being warned not to restaurans 1:19:51.600 --> 1:19:57.160 laurels I saw this on social media yesterday. Tanya Plibersek 1:19:57.280 --> 1:20:02.519 was saying how good After facing twenty fourth the year prior. 1:20:02.640 --> 1:20:08.200 In the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report, Australia 1:20:08.200 --> 1:20:11.760 has jumped eleven places and is now thirteenth out of 1:20:11.800 --> 1:20:15.200 one hundred and forty eight countries. It is Australia's best 1:20:15.240 --> 1:20:17.800 results since the report began in two thousand and six, 1:20:18.880 --> 1:20:23.840 and a far cry from our record low fiftieth place 1:20:24.479 --> 1:20:27.040 in twenty twenty one. That was when that evil Scott 1:20:27.040 --> 1:20:31.400 Morrison was Prime Minister. No worries. The ranking jump is 1:20:31.400 --> 1:20:37.880 attributed to improvements in female political empowerment, economic participation and 1:20:38.160 --> 1:20:43.599 educational attainment. Australia ranked well in education, with joint first 1:20:44.240 --> 1:20:49.960 in literacy rates, primary education enrollment and university enrollment. Minister 1:20:50.040 --> 1:20:54.000 for Women Katie Gallagher said it was a fantastic result 1:20:55.200 --> 1:20:57.800 when the alban Easy Labor government was first elected in 1:20:57.800 --> 1:21:01.320 twenty twenty two, she said said that improving the lives 1:21:01.320 --> 1:21:03.680 of women and girls was one of our key focuses 1:21:04.400 --> 1:21:07.160 and today's was old our best ever shows we're delivering 1:21:07.720 --> 1:21:11.920 on that commitment, said Senator Gallagher. Well, once again we 1:21:12.040 --> 1:21:15.160 look great on the global stage. If we could just 1:21:15.200 --> 1:21:18.240 afford to pay our bills occasionally, that would just make 1:21:18.280 --> 1:21:23.439 things so much better. Hashtag just saying. Now it's coming 1:21:23.520 --> 1:21:27.599 up to thirteen after eleven o'clock. It's a time each 1:21:27.760 --> 1:21:30.760 Saturday where we catch up with Leith van Onslin see 1:21:30.800 --> 1:21:34.320 if economists at the NB Fund NB Super from Macrobusiness 1:21:34.320 --> 1:21:38.559 dot com dot au. We are asking of late Leith 1:21:38.600 --> 1:21:42.240 to come up with a economic clown or economic champion. 1:21:42.800 --> 1:21:44.880 Each week. We've had a couple of clowns. We're about 1:21:44.920 --> 1:21:46.519 to get to a champion in a moment or two, 1:21:46.560 --> 1:21:50.080 but not before we get to talk about Australia facing 1:21:50.320 --> 1:21:53.080 energy armageddon? How am my friend? I hope you will? 1:21:53.760 --> 1:21:53.960 Yeah? 1:21:54.000 --> 1:21:56.320 Did I work? Yeah? Well awkward DWN your face might 1:21:56.360 --> 1:21:56.920 about yourself? 1:21:57.000 --> 1:21:59.639 Yeah, not too bad at all, not too bad at all. 1:22:01.080 --> 1:22:05.720 The question of our energy crisis, and it is, I 1:22:05.720 --> 1:22:09.000 think in the minds of many crisis. I don't know 1:22:09.040 --> 1:22:11.920 where it was during the election campaign. I don't want 1:22:11.920 --> 1:22:15.760 to revisit that at all, but I mean, what's going 1:22:15.840 --> 1:22:19.479 on here? Is it simply the fact that the government 1:22:19.520 --> 1:22:24.200 collects tax from workers and gives it back to workers 1:22:24.240 --> 1:22:27.360 and the way of some kind of assistance to pay 1:22:27.400 --> 1:22:30.080 their power bills? Is that why people don't see the 1:22:30.160 --> 1:22:32.559 train coming or what? Is it? Because we're in an 1:22:32.560 --> 1:22:33.320 ale of a mess? 1:22:33.920 --> 1:22:34.160 Oh? 1:22:34.200 --> 1:22:37.920 Absolutely mate. So anyone who pays an electricy bill or 1:22:37.960 --> 1:22:40.160 a gas bill knows that that knows that your bills 1:22:40.160 --> 1:22:42.800 are surged. And the only reason why we've had any 1:22:43.360 --> 1:22:46.160 relief is because the government stled out billions of dollars 1:22:46.160 --> 1:22:48.720 of our own money, like basically returned our taxes in 1:22:48.760 --> 1:22:51.599 short term subsidies. But it's not fixing the underlying problem. Now, 1:22:52.120 --> 1:22:55.440 as you all know, the Albanese governments set a ridiculously 1:22:55.600 --> 1:22:58.839 unreal realistic target of having eighty two percent of Australias 1:22:58.840 --> 1:23:02.439 electricity generated by renewables by twenty thirty Now, if we're 1:23:02.439 --> 1:23:03.840 going to do that, it means we obviously need to 1:23:03.840 --> 1:23:05.800 shut down our coal fire generation pretty much. 1:23:06.280 --> 1:23:06.519 Now. 1:23:06.640 --> 1:23:09.040 Some of Australia's states have gone even further. So you know, 1:23:09.080 --> 1:23:13.240 while I live in the clown state of Victoria, Victoria's 1:23:13.280 --> 1:23:16.720 legislator ninety five percent renewal easy target by twenty thirty five, 1:23:16.760 --> 1:23:20.120 so that's just in a decade. South Australia has set 1:23:20.200 --> 1:23:23.559 a one hundred percent renewable energy target by twenty twenty seven, 1:23:23.720 --> 1:23:27.800 so that's in two years right now. These targets are 1:23:27.800 --> 1:23:33.080 completely you know, are logical. They defy reality. And the 1:23:33.120 --> 1:23:35.759 reason for that, Luke, is that renewable energy is weather 1:23:35.800 --> 1:23:39.559 dependent and it's intermittent and it cannot be relied upon 1:23:39.920 --> 1:23:43.519 to provide power whenever it's needed. And we actually witnessed 1:23:43.520 --> 1:23:46.439 that this week because Eastern Australia, as is so often 1:23:46.520 --> 1:23:48.639 during winter. It happened last year in New South Wales, 1:23:49.600 --> 1:23:52.800 the entire Eastern Australia, so talking you know, Brisbane, New 1:23:52.880 --> 1:23:58.280 South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and act it experienced a 1:23:58.320 --> 1:24:00.479 wind drought and it lasted for days on the end. 1:24:00.720 --> 1:24:02.439 Now what a wind drought is, As I said, this 1:24:02.520 --> 1:24:04.800 often happens during winter. It's when you basically have very 1:24:04.840 --> 1:24:08.320 low wind, which means you get very low wind wind 1:24:08.360 --> 1:24:12.120 generation from wind turbines. And this is coincided with obviously 1:24:12.160 --> 1:24:13.960 being winter where you got shorter days and you get 1:24:14.000 --> 1:24:17.360 less sunshine, so you obviously get less solar. Now let's 1:24:17.360 --> 1:24:18.800 you get some data here which have pulled off the 1:24:18.880 --> 1:24:24.559 National Energy Market which is basically the federal government's website 1:24:24.560 --> 1:24:27.800 which tracks where all energy comes from. And it showed 1:24:27.800 --> 1:24:30.040 that in the forty eight hours between eleventh and twelfth 1:24:30.040 --> 1:24:31.240 for June, and to be honest with that, I could 1:24:31.280 --> 1:24:33.240 have picked the twelfth or thirteenth of June. But you know, 1:24:33.280 --> 1:24:35.799 when I was writing this up, a good of replaced 1:24:35.840 --> 1:24:37.720 this with another set which said exactly the same thing. 1:24:38.360 --> 1:24:41.320 The wind and solar combined over that forty eight hours 1:24:41.960 --> 1:24:45.120 provided only fourteen percent of Australias electricity generation because we 1:24:45.200 --> 1:24:48.639 had the wind rout and battery STORYGE only provided one percent, right, 1:24:48.680 --> 1:24:52.000 so it's fifteen percent if you count batteries. Now. Fossil fuels, 1:24:52.000 --> 1:24:53.439 on the other hand, because we are in the middle 1:24:53.439 --> 1:24:57.400 of winter, provided seventy four percent of Eastern Australias electricity 1:24:57.479 --> 1:25:00.880 generation and the forty eight hour period. Now that that 1:25:01.479 --> 1:25:03.720 is coal sixty percent and gas. I've left hydra out 1:25:03.760 --> 1:25:05.960 of there because hydro you can't we can't scale it up. 1:25:06.000 --> 1:25:09.160 It's just basically it's there every day. But the fact 1:25:09.160 --> 1:25:11.479 matter is that the federal government wants to get rid 1:25:11.479 --> 1:25:13.519 of our coal and gas, well coal through to a 1:25:13.560 --> 1:25:15.920 pronominally in the next few years, and replace it with 1:25:16.000 --> 1:25:19.800 this renewable stuff. But the renewable stuff doesn't supply when 1:25:19.880 --> 1:25:22.719 we need it. And this was shown this week and 1:25:22.920 --> 1:25:25.160 for example, at seven to fifty pm on Thursday night, 1:25:25.840 --> 1:25:29.120 when obviously the sun had gone down, only three percent 1:25:29.160 --> 1:25:33.360 of it the whole Eastern Australia's electricity generation was came 1:25:33.400 --> 1:25:37.439 from wind. The solar was zero obviously because there's no sun, 1:25:37.600 --> 1:25:39.720 and batteries only provided two percent. This is a seven 1:25:39.720 --> 1:25:43.160 to fifty This is a snapshot. Meanwhile, coal fifty four percent, 1:25:43.240 --> 1:25:47.240 gas twenty three percent combined to contributed seventy seven percent 1:25:47.240 --> 1:25:50.960 of Eastern Australias generation. So theilarious thing here, Luke is 1:25:51.360 --> 1:25:54.200 earlier this week in Victoria under I'm using Victoria obviously 1:25:54.240 --> 1:25:57.439 not talking to Victorian audience, but this is relevant. Victoria 1:25:57.560 --> 1:26:00.719 experienced an unexpected outage at one of its old coal 1:26:00.760 --> 1:26:04.400 fire generators and it basically led to the renewables lobby 1:26:04.439 --> 1:26:08.640 coming out saying, see, coal's unreliable. Therefore we need to 1:26:08.640 --> 1:26:11.320 expand renewables and to get off coal because coal cannot 1:26:11.320 --> 1:26:14.360 be trusted because there was a breakdown. Right, So there's 1:26:14.400 --> 1:26:17.280 this outfit I call them a propaganda said renew economy. 1:26:17.320 --> 1:26:19.639 They just write, let's garbage about renewables all the time 1:26:19.640 --> 1:26:23.719 and just integrate any sort of fossil fills. And they 1:26:24.320 --> 1:26:28.679 wrote an article which said, quote the your lawn coal 1:26:28.720 --> 1:26:33.200 plant outage quote underscores the urgent need to build enough 1:26:33.200 --> 1:26:35.880 solar wind and storage to replace them, and hoglights the 1:26:35.920 --> 1:26:39.599 folly of sweating aging coal assets past the years by dates. 1:26:39.600 --> 1:26:42.920 That's a direct quote. Now. Hilariously, when this article came out, 1:26:43.560 --> 1:26:47.040 the muppet who wrote this wrote it during a wind 1:26:47.120 --> 1:26:51.200 rout when the renewables clap crashed almost zero and they 1:26:51.200 --> 1:26:54.240 couldn't see the Yeah, they couldn't see the irony that 1:26:54.240 --> 1:26:56.960 they're calling coal unreliable because there was a outage one 1:26:57.000 --> 1:26:59.920 of the generators. When literally we had a wind drought 1:27:00.840 --> 1:27:05.000 and wind the solar combined, we're providing buger or electricity. 1:27:05.760 --> 1:27:08.440 And the reality here, Luke, is that the most unreliable 1:27:08.439 --> 1:27:11.480 part of the energy system is actually intermittent weather dependent renewables, 1:27:11.520 --> 1:27:14.280 because the only work when the sun shines, the wind blows, 1:27:14.840 --> 1:27:16.960 and we never know when the wind's going to blow, 1:27:17.320 --> 1:27:19.200 and the sun only shines through the middle of day injury, 1:27:19.280 --> 1:27:21.320 and if it's overcast you get very little of it. 1:27:22.040 --> 1:27:25.719 Yet yet the government and these lobby groups and everyone 1:27:25.960 --> 1:27:27.360 are trying to say we need to get rid of 1:27:27.479 --> 1:27:32.559 us stable baseload power and just basically rely on the wind, 1:27:32.760 --> 1:27:36.759 which may or may not arrive and the sun, which 1:27:37.040 --> 1:27:41.840 obviously during winter is pretty unreliable. And these same people 1:27:41.880 --> 1:27:45.320 won't admit it that aging coal fire power plants remain 1:27:45.400 --> 1:27:47.920 the foundation of the country's electricity supply, and that was 1:27:47.960 --> 1:27:52.280 proven this week when renewables failed and they could not 1:27:52.360 --> 1:27:56.400 cover the gap. It's crazy stuff, mate, And so what's 1:27:56.400 --> 1:27:58.880 what I've been saying over and over again is instead 1:27:58.920 --> 1:28:01.479 of going down this road, we need reliable base low 1:28:01.560 --> 1:28:06.439 power otherwise we will literally face blackouts and soaring energy prices. 1:28:06.479 --> 1:28:09.559 Now the way I see, we've got two options. First 1:28:09.560 --> 1:28:12.280 of all, we could replace or refurbish the existing coal 1:28:12.360 --> 1:28:14.960 fire generators, so they obviously do need renovation. They're very old, 1:28:14.960 --> 1:28:19.599 et cetera. But they're already all the transmissions already built, right, 1:28:19.640 --> 1:28:22.519 so all the infrastructure is already there. But yes, they 1:28:22.520 --> 1:28:26.160 do need some work, and that honestly is my favorite option. 1:28:26.640 --> 1:28:29.799 Look, I'm with you. I you know, I was drinking 1:28:29.840 --> 1:28:32.519 the I don't want to say the nuclear cool aid, 1:28:32.520 --> 1:28:35.479 but I will because I understand. Then you can just 1:28:35.560 --> 1:28:40.679 go your hardest and have generation, knowing it to missions free, 1:28:40.760 --> 1:28:45.320 if that's a thing, had that everywhere. But look, I 1:28:45.360 --> 1:28:48.479 think that argument, that argument was probably lost. It was 1:28:48.520 --> 1:28:53.240 probably lost on misinformation and poor salesmanship. It seems to 1:28:53.280 --> 1:28:56.920 me our only option. And again you know the mother 1:28:57.000 --> 1:28:59.160 law scare campaigns, but you don't have to do much 1:29:00.120 --> 1:29:04.200 efficiency lower mission coal. And if people are so worried 1:29:04.200 --> 1:29:07.880 about the emissions that come from coal, then whatever we 1:29:07.920 --> 1:29:12.320 burn here reduce what reduce what we export by that, 1:29:13.360 --> 1:29:16.360 and that might even touch asides, but that we don't 1:29:16.400 --> 1:29:20.200 have to rewire anything that's a trillion dollars potentially. This 1:29:20.320 --> 1:29:21.360 to me is a no brainer. 1:29:21.400 --> 1:29:23.600 I'm with you, yeah, one hundred percent. So so the 1:29:23.640 --> 1:29:26.759 fact matter is, yes, coal is carbon intensive, one hundred 1:29:26.760 --> 1:29:29.800 percent is. But Australia exports five times as much coal 1:29:29.840 --> 1:29:32.280 as we as we can shoot in domestically, So why 1:29:32.320 --> 1:29:34.720 not just export a little bit less and burn more 1:29:34.720 --> 1:29:38.240 ourselves and the world's climate would be no worse off? Right, No, 1:29:38.360 --> 1:29:41.200 But then again I actually think we should probably gain 1:29:41.280 --> 1:29:43.320 the nuclear road as well. You know that it'll take 1:29:43.320 --> 1:29:48.200 a while, but do obviously, because you know, nuclear is 1:29:48.240 --> 1:29:51.400 the only way to achieve lower emissions and stay more 1:29:51.439 --> 1:29:53.400 reliable power. Like, the only way you can get both 1:29:53.960 --> 1:29:55.920 is through nuclear, because you can run a twenty four 1:29:55.920 --> 1:29:59.280 to seven. It's not whether dependent, it's zero emission. Yes, 1:29:59.360 --> 1:30:02.760 the upfront are very high, but so are renewables and 1:30:02.800 --> 1:30:06.479 storage and renewables and storage sorry j mating batteries and 1:30:06.520 --> 1:30:08.519 you know, building pump high dress stations and this sort 1:30:08.520 --> 1:30:11.680 of stuff. That stuff is completely unreliable and intermit and 1:30:11.720 --> 1:30:14.360 it's going to cost a bomb, whereas we could actually 1:30:14.400 --> 1:30:17.439 just build some nuclear generators where some of the old 1:30:17.520 --> 1:30:21.360 coal fried generators were, where there's transmission lines and that 1:30:21.400 --> 1:30:23.040 sort of thing. Yes, it will cost a lot of money, 1:30:23.560 --> 1:30:25.280 but you know it's going to be stable. It'll give 1:30:25.320 --> 1:30:29.000 you a sixty year lifespan, whereas renewables have to be replaced, 1:30:29.040 --> 1:30:31.880 you know, fifteen to twenty years, so you have to 1:30:31.960 --> 1:30:34.040 keep replacing them. You batteries you've got to turn over 1:30:34.080 --> 1:30:38.040 all the time. You know, win a solar and wind 1:30:38.080 --> 1:30:41.920 turbines don't last more than twenty years, so that the 1:30:42.000 --> 1:30:45.960 environmental footprint of nuclear is way better. You know, one 1:30:46.040 --> 1:30:50.519 Bunton sized warehouse sized generator can create the same amount 1:30:50.560 --> 1:30:53.200 of energy is probably you know, four hundred plus wind 1:30:53.240 --> 1:30:55.000 turbines which are spread out all over the place and 1:30:55.040 --> 1:30:56.880 need concrete footings. You need to clear a whole one 1:30:56.960 --> 1:31:02.120 to land. All the resources that go into that is insane. Now, 1:31:02.240 --> 1:31:05.000 it was very interesting this weekluk so UK has gone 1:31:05.040 --> 1:31:07.720 down the same NED zero delusion as US, and they've 1:31:07.720 --> 1:31:10.599 got a guy called Ed Milliban who's their energy minister. 1:31:10.680 --> 1:31:13.439 He's just like Chris Bowen, he's an absolute zealot. But 1:31:13.880 --> 1:31:16.000 even the UK came out at the start of the 1:31:16.000 --> 1:31:19.160 week and they said that the renewables aren't working properly, 1:31:19.240 --> 1:31:21.519 it's not reliable, so we're going to build out nuclear. 1:31:21.720 --> 1:31:24.120 So even the UK has gone down this road and 1:31:24.960 --> 1:31:27.880 Ed Millerban, who's just as much of a Zealot as 1:31:28.000 --> 1:31:31.600 Chris Bowen said, he declared quote a golden age for 1:31:31.680 --> 1:31:35.879 British Britain's nuclear industry. So so how is that Australia, 1:31:35.920 --> 1:31:39.639 that holds the world's largest deposits of uranium, has banned 1:31:39.720 --> 1:31:43.000 nuclear power in banded nuclear is the source of generation 1:31:43.680 --> 1:31:46.040 when these other countries, like pretty much everywhere else in 1:31:46.040 --> 1:31:48.240 the world bar us in New Zealand, are going down 1:31:48.240 --> 1:31:51.160 to the nucular raid. We literally have the world's biggest 1:31:51.400 --> 1:31:53.519 deposits of uranium, so we could go down this road 1:31:54.040 --> 1:31:56.360 and we've got there, the second biggest. So we're the 1:31:56.400 --> 1:31:58.400 biggest coal exporter in the world, so we could be 1:31:58.560 --> 1:32:01.360 doing that as well, and we're obviously one of the biggest, 1:32:01.520 --> 1:32:03.760 the second biggest gas export. But we didn't think there's 1:32:03.840 --> 1:32:07.080 cheapid thing here because that we deny our selves access 1:32:07.120 --> 1:32:09.960 to our own energy, our own coal, our own gas, 1:32:10.400 --> 1:32:12.960 and our own uranium. Yes, and we sell all this 1:32:13.000 --> 1:32:14.680 stuff to the rest of the world. We give the 1:32:14.680 --> 1:32:16.519 rest of the world cheap energy, and then we starve 1:32:16.520 --> 1:32:19.160 ourselves and then we you know, and then we say 1:32:19.160 --> 1:32:21.040 oh no, no, we know we can't burn this stuff. 1:32:21.040 --> 1:32:24.160 We've got to go down this renewables road, which which 1:32:24.280 --> 1:32:26.400 in times of winter when there's not much sun, or 1:32:26.439 --> 1:32:29.439 we have these wind routs which happened regularly, they just 1:32:29.520 --> 1:32:30.320 don't work. 1:32:30.720 --> 1:32:34.599 Yeah, it's crazy, It is crazy. It is crazy. And 1:32:34.640 --> 1:32:37.160 the best in interests and the you know, the people 1:32:37.160 --> 1:32:40.439 with Daddy's billions who get the government subsidies in the 1:32:40.479 --> 1:32:44.759 billions and just make the easy ride. I mean, there'll 1:32:44.760 --> 1:32:47.559 be a day. Tell me who the champion of the 1:32:47.640 --> 1:32:50.960 week is. I think we've got some champions time music gets. 1:32:53.880 --> 1:32:55.600 Who have you gone with, mate. 1:32:55.640 --> 1:32:58.960 Mate, I've gone with journalists Chris Willman. Yes, now you 1:32:59.000 --> 1:33:01.200 know former ABSC Now he does some stuff with Sky 1:33:01.840 --> 1:33:05.040 and some others. But the yeah, mate, Christi Wilman gave 1:33:05.080 --> 1:33:08.040 a fantastic he's been right on this energy stuff and 1:33:08.080 --> 1:33:10.920 he's done excellent work, done a great documentaries, et cetera. 1:33:11.760 --> 1:33:15.640 And anyway, it was on the John Anderson podcast a 1:33:15.640 --> 1:33:18.360 week ago, and I watched the whole thing and it 1:33:18.439 --> 1:33:21.559 was fantastic, and he actually predicted pretty much what happened 1:33:21.600 --> 1:33:24.719 this week, right, so literally a week before it happened. 1:33:25.320 --> 1:33:31.240 He said that he said basically I tell you what's 1:33:31.240 --> 1:33:32.880 going to happen to the East Coast energy market. We 1:33:32.920 --> 1:33:35.200 are running our last coal fire power plants about as 1:33:35.200 --> 1:33:37.280 hard as we can, is what he said. He said, 1:33:37.320 --> 1:33:39.519 one day, when the sun's not shining and the wind's 1:33:39.520 --> 1:33:42.120 not blowing, and probably in the middle of winter, when 1:33:42.120 --> 1:33:44.479 it's really quite cold, one of those big coal fire 1:33:44.479 --> 1:33:47.120 power plants is going to give out. It will break 1:33:47.160 --> 1:33:49.240 because the stress it's under. And then we'll see the 1:33:49.320 --> 1:33:52.240 energy ministers come out and say, see we told you 1:33:52.400 --> 1:33:55.840 old power break down. You know, we need more renewables, 1:33:55.840 --> 1:33:58.080 that sort of thing. And that is exactly what happened 1:33:58.080 --> 1:34:00.760 this week, all right. So so one of you know, 1:34:00.880 --> 1:34:05.760 as I said, Victoria's coal generators went down. The renewables 1:34:05.760 --> 1:34:08.720 lobby came out and said straight away, see Cole's unreliable. 1:34:08.760 --> 1:34:10.680 This is why we need more renewables. And this is 1:34:10.720 --> 1:34:13.160 exactly what Chris Juman predicted a link before it happened, 1:34:13.720 --> 1:34:16.240 and it has played out exactly as he said. And 1:34:16.439 --> 1:34:19.040 you know, anyone who wants to learn more on this topic, 1:34:19.560 --> 1:34:23.719 I highly you know, recommend that you go on YouTube, 1:34:23.760 --> 1:34:27.960 for example, and search for Chris Human and renewables and 1:34:28.040 --> 1:34:29.760 power and energy and that sort of things. He's done 1:34:29.800 --> 1:34:31.360 some fantastic work in the areas. 1:34:31.439 --> 1:34:34.719 Yeah, he really has. Right, mate, have a great weekend, 1:34:34.920 --> 1:34:36.519 take care, talk to you in a week's time. 1:34:37.000 --> 1:34:38.400 Yeah, chasers, thank you. 1:34:38.520 --> 1:34:41.719 Leeth van Ansolin, Chris Jullman, big fan of his workers. 1:34:41.760 --> 1:34:44.479 You well know. Now we'll take a break. It's twenty 1:34:44.479 --> 1:34:48.360 five after eleven, twenty nine minutes after eleven o'clock. Plenty 1:34:48.360 --> 1:34:51.600 of sport, plenty of racing this weekend, so let's have 1:34:51.640 --> 1:34:53.880 a look at what's happening with the markets around all 1:34:53.880 --> 1:34:57.120 of that. Glenn Munty from Ladbrugs on the nine on 1:34:57.160 --> 1:35:00.600 the line, did I, Glenn, hope you will? Well, wouldn't I? 1:35:00.640 --> 1:35:02.400 Bound?

Yes, mate, go on. 1:35:09.160 --> 1:35:10.639 I was trying to say, hang by the little box 1:35:10.720 --> 1:35:12.160 during the week there might be something there for you, 1:35:12.200 --> 1:35:15.360 but if it's chicking, I'd leave it alone. 1:35:16.360 --> 1:35:21.160 Whoops, an alarm clock for the kiddies listing, Glen, Glenn's 1:35:21.160 --> 1:35:25.120 going to send me an alarm clock neg time. The 1:35:25.200 --> 1:35:27.960 Knights and the roosters, My roosters, I know you're a 1:35:28.000 --> 1:35:30.920 Bunnies man, so it's amazing that we talk to each other. 1:35:31.160 --> 1:35:32.759 This is McDonald jones Stadium. 1:35:33.560 --> 1:35:35.519 Well that's how you know that you're forever in our shadow. 1:35:35.960 --> 1:35:39.320 Let's have a five thirty this afternoon at Newcastle where 1:35:39.360 --> 1:35:42.720 the Knight's the home side. Here three dollars twenty outsiders. 1:35:43.400 --> 1:35:46.760 This game affected badly by injuries and origin. Of course, 1:35:46.800 --> 1:35:50.200 Fletcher Sharp out for Newcastle, so Jackson Hastings comes in 1:35:50.280 --> 1:35:52.240 for his first game all year in. 1:35:52.320 --> 1:35:52.880 The top grade. 1:35:52.920 --> 1:35:56.680 They're three dollars twenty outsiders Newcastle. The Roosters they got enough, 1:35:56.840 --> 1:35:58.600 they got five players in origin and a couple of 1:35:58.640 --> 1:36:01.280 injuries as well. They're the dollars thirty five favorites in 1:36:01.360 --> 1:36:04.080 this one nine and a half the line in that 1:36:04.280 --> 1:36:07.560 one forty three and a half the over under and 1:36:07.640 --> 1:36:10.320 the Roosters have won seven of the last eight matches 1:36:10.360 --> 1:36:12.880 between the two. And who can forget last week when 1:36:12.960 --> 1:36:15.880 yinka they have gone to the world against Many and 1:36:16.000 --> 1:36:18.280 got home in a tidy. 1:36:18.479 --> 1:36:20.599 H do you haven't they fall and hate Many losing 1:36:20.680 --> 1:36:21.479 last night as well? 1:36:21.640 --> 1:36:22.920 Goodness, what a tragedy. 1:36:23.120 --> 1:36:28.519 Yes, yes, that's Greg sincerity. The Cowboys, the Cowboys and 1:36:28.600 --> 1:36:29.760 the Dolphins later in the day. 1:36:30.439 --> 1:36:33.840 Yeah, seven thirty five, This one in Townsville. The eighth 1:36:33.960 --> 1:36:37.759 placed Cowboys play the ninth place Dolphins. The Cowboys outside 1:36:37.840 --> 1:36:40.760 is here at two sixty the Dolphins favorite at a 1:36:40.880 --> 1:36:44.559 dollar fifty. They have lost their last three matches away 1:36:44.840 --> 1:36:47.400 as favorites the Dolphins five and a half. The line 1:36:47.439 --> 1:36:50.439 in that one forty nine and a half the over runner. 1:36:50.520 --> 1:36:53.320 Now five of the last six Cowboys games have gone over. 1:36:54.200 --> 1:36:57.559 They've got the fifth worst defense in the whole comp 1:36:57.640 --> 1:36:59.960 the Cowboys and the worst of the top eleven side, 1:37:00.479 --> 1:37:03.160 and the Dolphins have got the third best attack in 1:37:03.200 --> 1:37:06.080 the National Rugby League. So expect points in this game. 1:37:06.520 --> 1:37:09.000 Five and a half the line two the Cowboys forty 1:37:09.120 --> 1:37:11.400 nine and a half the over under there. And then 1:37:11.439 --> 1:37:14.200 tomorrow this will be a cracker four o'clock at Homebush 1:37:14.280 --> 1:37:17.000 a course. South's at two eighty five. The dog is 1:37:17.439 --> 1:37:19.800 at one forty four canterb We've won the last ten 1:37:20.000 --> 1:37:22.640 of the last twelve between the sides here seven and 1:37:22.640 --> 1:37:24.519 a half the line forty five and a half the 1:37:24.600 --> 1:37:27.720 over under Lachland Galvin, who's done everything but walk on 1:37:27.840 --> 1:37:30.720 water in the last couple of weeks. He's starting for 1:37:30.880 --> 1:37:33.400 Canterby's three forty five to score a try, as he 1:37:33.479 --> 1:37:35.439 did last week in his first match for the Dogs. 1:37:35.720 --> 1:37:38.720 He's nineteen dollars to score the first try and that one. 1:37:38.920 --> 1:37:42.400 And then Wednesday night in Perth is origin two. Mitchell 1:37:42.479 --> 1:37:45.920 moses out and New South Wales drifted with Loule coming 1:37:45.960 --> 1:37:48.240 into the side one forty four the Blues to eighty 1:37:48.320 --> 1:37:50.840 Queensland seven and a half the line forty one and 1:37:50.880 --> 1:37:53.000 a half the over under. As I said, that's Wednesday 1:37:53.080 --> 1:37:54.639 night at Opta Stadium in Perth. 1:37:54.960 --> 1:37:58.719 Yes, excellent, all right. Now the US Open golfin Adam 1:37:58.800 --> 1:38:01.520 Scott's in the mix mate, that's I think fantastic. 1:38:02.360 --> 1:38:04.160 Yeah, he's three off the lead, Adam Scott. He's the 1:38:04.200 --> 1:38:06.400 leading ossie at the moment. He's even par. Only three 1:38:06.439 --> 1:38:09.760 players under par at the moment. Sam Burns the leader 1:38:09.840 --> 1:38:11.960 on three under. He tied for ninth in the US 1:38:12.040 --> 1:38:14.960 Open last year. He leads JJ Sporn, who was the 1:38:15.040 --> 1:38:17.880 overnight leader on minus two. Victor Hoveland is the only 1:38:17.960 --> 1:38:21.200 other player under the card at minus one. Sam Burns 1:38:21.320 --> 1:38:23.920 is the four dollar fifty favorite over Hobland at six 1:38:24.040 --> 1:38:27.000 dollars spawn at nine. Scotti Scheffler, who's seven off the 1:38:27.120 --> 1:38:29.960 lead is a nine dollar chance. Ben Griffin and Adam 1:38:30.040 --> 1:38:33.559 Scott are eleven and seventeen dollars there. And for our 1:38:33.640 --> 1:38:35.759 Brisbane and Sydney viewers, a big match in the AFL 1:38:35.840 --> 1:38:38.519 todat the Gather twenty past one Brisbane played the Giants. 1:38:38.920 --> 1:38:42.320 Brisbane won twenty favorites. The Giants out the four sixty. 1:38:42.720 --> 1:38:44.280 The last time they played a day game at the 1:38:44.280 --> 1:38:46.040 Gather was a round twenty two last year and the 1:38:46.200 --> 1:38:48.360 Greater Western Sydney Giants got over the top of Brisbane 1:38:48.600 --> 1:38:50.880 eighty two to sixty four, twenty. 1:38:50.720 --> 1:38:51.360 Seven and a half. 1:38:51.400 --> 1:38:53.639 The line a biggie there and one hundred and seventy 1:38:53.680 --> 1:38:56.639 and a half the over under. Now. Funnily enough, Brisbane 1:38:56.680 --> 1:38:59.320 haven't covered the line in their last nine day matches 1:38:59.640 --> 1:39:02.040 at the so that gives the Giants some hope with 1:39:02.160 --> 1:39:03.920 the twenty one and a half start not too far 1:39:03.960 --> 1:39:06.240 from the Gabba, probably about thirty five dollars in a 1:39:06.280 --> 1:39:09.760 taxi of his Eagle Farm race course, or depends which 1:39:09.800 --> 1:39:10.920 where you go. If you go out of the story 1:39:10.960 --> 1:39:11.800 bridge might be a little bit. 1:39:12.120 --> 1:39:13.840 Hey, what do you may? What do you reckon? It 1:39:13.920 --> 1:39:16.759 cost me a cab from the airport to the city 1:39:17.120 --> 1:39:20.880 about a month ago. What part of the city right 1:39:20.960 --> 1:39:23.439 at center? I was in Ann Street, I think. 1:39:24.360 --> 1:39:30.920 Right a taxi, I'd say sixty five dollars. 1:39:31.439 --> 1:39:35.400 Gosh, have you got my credit card statement there with 1:39:35.560 --> 1:39:39.200 sixty seven bucks or something? That's okay. 1:39:39.360 --> 1:39:42.280 I keep telling you I'm not a recluse, and you 1:39:42.360 --> 1:39:44.600 know I haven't been in Guantanamo Bay or the like 1:39:44.680 --> 1:39:47.120 for the last thirty odd years. I do actually get 1:39:47.160 --> 1:39:47.519 around you. 1:39:47.800 --> 1:39:51.439 Yeah right, sorry, Strapbruck my body shape. But is around 1:39:53.120 --> 1:39:55.920 Strapbrug handicap in an Eagle farm today?

Now? 1:40:51.520 --> 1:41:00.360 Brian Wilson Beach Boys remember this a classic and we 1:41:00.439 --> 1:41:03.800 will pay tribute to Brian Wilson after midday when Craig 1:41:03.960 --> 1:41:07.280 Bennett joins us for starstruckts hard to know what the 1:41:07.320 --> 1:41:10.680 best Beach Boys song is. I get a bit of 1:41:10.720 --> 1:41:14.800 time driving into work and I occasionally listen to Well 1:41:14.920 --> 1:41:19.160 all sorts of things, US podcasts, well music, and I 1:41:19.280 --> 1:41:23.800 put on their best of album and every song's a winner. 1:41:24.520 --> 1:41:26.800 Every song's a winner, and sometimes and it's wrong, But 1:41:27.600 --> 1:41:30.040 it takes the passing of a legend like Brian Wilson 1:41:30.120 --> 1:41:33.280 to remind you that, you know, that's some pretty special stuff. 1:41:33.360 --> 1:41:37.800 Some of those songs are sixty years old, and I 1:41:37.880 --> 1:41:40.519 remember as a young blo people saying, oh this modern music, 1:41:40.560 --> 1:41:44.439 it mon't last a test of time. Hello, now twenty 1:41:44.520 --> 1:41:47.559 two to midday. Now it's coming up to seventeen minutes 1:41:47.760 --> 1:41:50.840 to midday. Housing is so scarce in parts of New 1:41:50.920 --> 1:41:54.800 South Wales that employers are renting properties on behalf of 1:41:54.920 --> 1:41:59.160 hospitality stuff or some public health workers resort the sleeping 1:41:59.400 --> 1:42:04.120 cars to avoid long commutes, prompting MPs towards the state government, 1:42:04.160 --> 1:42:08.519 the men's government to act urgently on essential workers access 1:42:08.600 --> 1:42:12.400 to housing. This isn't a news story. This is something 1:42:12.479 --> 1:42:15.840 we've been covering here for at least the last year 1:42:16.080 --> 1:42:20.160 and probably more. A Parliamentary Select Committee inquiry into essential 1:42:20.200 --> 1:42:25.559 worker housing, shaired by Sydney MP Alex Greenwich, found these workers, 1:42:25.920 --> 1:42:28.040 who are broadly defined as someone who works face to 1:42:28.120 --> 1:42:32.200 face providing key services, are the forgotten group and the 1:42:32.240 --> 1:42:36.880 government's housing policies. The committee supports that essential workers ensure 1:42:37.439 --> 1:42:40.360 cities and regions can function. Yet with that adequate access 1:42:40.439 --> 1:42:44.040 to safe housing that's affordable, many of these workers are 1:42:44.080 --> 1:42:47.040 forced to sacrifice their well being in order to deliver 1:42:47.160 --> 1:42:52.720 the services our state needs, and the ridiculous the ridiculous. 1:42:53.040 --> 1:42:55.080 Counter to that is, you know, if you dare to say, well, 1:42:55.120 --> 1:43:00.599 hang on, if we're building new houses more slowly than ever, 1:43:01.479 --> 1:43:07.000 and we're having population growth more rapid than ever, then 1:43:07.600 --> 1:43:12.240 you know that proposition isn't racist. It's actually mathematics. As 1:43:12.280 --> 1:43:15.320 we say here often, and you get a report, Oh 1:43:15.439 --> 1:43:20.280 isn't that amazing? It's not amazing, It's completely predictable. But 1:43:20.840 --> 1:43:24.839 we know, don't talk about that stuff. What we do Bazaar. 1:43:25.600 --> 1:43:27.360 It's seventeen to midday. 1:43:31.120 --> 1:43:34.880 And now the Real Estate Show Thanks to Domain, Australia's 1:43:34.960 --> 1:43:36.560 trusted property marketplace. 1:43:37.360 --> 1:43:41.080 Alice Stoles is a national property editor at Domain. We 1:43:41.200 --> 1:43:43.599 have a chat each week and she's with us right now. 1:43:43.720 --> 1:43:45.840 Good day, Alice, good morning. 1:43:45.920 --> 1:43:46.880 We're great to bear with you. 1:43:47.320 --> 1:43:49.400 Thanks lovely to talk to you again. Let's kick off 1:43:49.439 --> 1:43:52.479 with the latest action numbers and clearance rates in Sydney 1:43:52.520 --> 1:43:53.680 and Brisbane. What can you tell me? 1:43:54.640 --> 1:43:57.600 Well, Sydney's got not going not badly given we are 1:43:57.720 --> 1:44:01.040 now well and trillion winter seven hundred seventy three auctions 1:44:01.160 --> 1:44:04.559 taking place around the city today. Brisbane has seventy eight 1:44:04.640 --> 1:44:07.200 auctions now last week and of course Long weekend in 1:44:07.280 --> 1:44:10.200 Sydney last weekend clearance rates came in at sixty six 1:44:10.400 --> 1:44:13.120 percent for Sydney, and in Brisbane they came in at 1:44:13.280 --> 1:44:16.320 thirty nine percent. So it's kind of we're just slipping 1:44:16.400 --> 1:44:19.160 into that slower period, Luke. But let's see what happens 1:44:19.160 --> 1:44:20.880 in the next couple of weeks, just to see how 1:44:21.040 --> 1:44:24.000 kind of reactive I guess buyers are to the economy 1:44:24.040 --> 1:44:25.560 and all this global uncertainty. 1:44:25.840 --> 1:44:29.559 Indeed, all right, now our expensive and not so expensive 1:44:29.640 --> 1:44:34.280 buyers from last week in Sydney and in Brisbane, East 1:44:34.400 --> 1:44:36.160 Linfield got the top figure. 1:44:36.200 --> 1:44:36.400 Did it? 1:44:36.479 --> 1:44:38.200 In Sydney it did? 1:44:38.320 --> 1:44:38.639 Indeed. 1:44:38.720 --> 1:44:41.000 Now this was a three bedroom house. Now there were 1:44:41.160 --> 1:44:43.599 twelve bidders at this auction, Luke. 1:44:43.840 --> 1:44:44.280 It was an. 1:44:44.240 --> 1:44:46.760 Aged three bedroom home on around just a bit of 1:44:46.840 --> 1:44:50.599 a nine hundred square meter, so twelve bidters because basically 1:44:50.600 --> 1:44:52.280 it had the appeal of being able to be a 1:44:52.360 --> 1:44:56.680 knockdown house. But the bidding for this one went bananas, 1:44:56.760 --> 1:45:00.519 and someone paid four point five million dollars for essentially 1:45:00.600 --> 1:45:03.880 beat a knockdown and then they'll rebuild their green behind 1:45:03.960 --> 1:45:06.639 a local family from the area, and the vendor's son 1:45:06.720 --> 1:45:09.080 apparently said to us that his parents were over the 1:45:09.160 --> 1:45:10.960 moon they'd been in the house for twenty six years, 1:45:11.479 --> 1:45:14.200 and clearly they were pragmatic about not to be emotional 1:45:14.200 --> 1:45:15.360 about it, because I think I'd be a bit of 1:45:15.400 --> 1:45:17.679 a wreck if that happened to me, knowing that someone 1:45:17.760 --> 1:45:19.160 was going to knock out in the house. But they 1:45:19.160 --> 1:45:23.120 obviously just could see the upside of the opportunity to 1:45:23.200 --> 1:45:25.439 make a very tidy profit on it. So a pretty 1:45:26.040 --> 1:45:29.280 incredible situation that we're seeing play out in different spots 1:45:29.320 --> 1:45:33.360 of Sydney, particularly when heritage and I guess the development 1:45:33.400 --> 1:45:36.920 opportunities are there for some people. In Brisbane, it was 1:45:36.960 --> 1:45:40.479 in tener Reef we had a lovely, very big, traditional 1:45:40.560 --> 1:45:43.519 kind of English style house with incredible views that sold 1:45:43.800 --> 1:45:47.160 for four point two one million dollars a three bedroom 1:45:47.240 --> 1:45:49.360 house there. And again we're just saying if you're in 1:45:49.439 --> 1:45:53.040 that right location with beautiful views, people will absolutely pay 1:45:53.120 --> 1:45:54.960 for it if their pockets are deep enough. 1:45:55.320 --> 1:45:57.680 Yes. Indeed, just back to what you were saying there 1:45:57.720 --> 1:46:01.160 about you know the future of a person's property and 1:46:02.760 --> 1:46:05.800 you hope you get through the process thinking, you know 1:46:05.960 --> 1:46:09.600 what that was okay, But someone very close to me 1:46:10.479 --> 1:46:13.719 thought when they were selling their house to a person 1:46:14.080 --> 1:46:17.240 that made it clear that everything there was wonderful and 1:46:17.360 --> 1:46:20.200 they couldn't wait to live in it and it was 1:46:20.320 --> 1:46:23.560 fantastic blah blah blah, And they ended up doing a 1:46:23.600 --> 1:46:26.840 deal only to find that a week after moving out 1:46:27.000 --> 1:46:30.840 the place was up for rent, and they thought, Wow, 1:46:31.640 --> 1:46:34.840 why wouldn't they just straight talk? You know, I hear 1:46:34.880 --> 1:46:37.639 what you're saying. People need to be honest about this stuff. 1:46:37.680 --> 1:46:40.200 And I guess, you know, you should be aware that 1:46:40.800 --> 1:46:42.640 people are trying to get an advantage or something. But 1:46:43.560 --> 1:46:45.960 that I think that question about heritage. 1:46:45.960 --> 1:46:49.880 People can see, Yeah, some of them see what sort 1:46:49.880 --> 1:46:52.760 of an emotional event or potentially how they react to 1:46:53.000 --> 1:46:55.920 We've also seen situations in the market all around the 1:46:55.960 --> 1:46:59.000 country actually where it were sometimes a very sort of plucky, 1:46:59.120 --> 1:47:01.960 particularly first buyer. We'll go out and a limit often 1:47:02.040 --> 1:47:05.040 write a letter to a vendor and say, I absolutely 1:47:05.080 --> 1:47:08.000 love your house, here's my story about my proper ownership. 1:47:08.280 --> 1:47:11.000 And often if the vendor is that way inclined, they 1:47:11.120 --> 1:47:14.799 react through positively to it and having some instance taken 1:47:14.840 --> 1:47:18.280 a lower offer from that first time by purely for 1:47:18.880 --> 1:47:21.439 the emotional appeal of giving it to someone who is 1:47:21.520 --> 1:47:22.960 going to do the right thing with it now. In 1:47:23.160 --> 1:47:26.360 cases I'm talking about there's been complete sincea ten honesty there. 1:47:26.400 --> 1:47:29.120 But I'm wonder if we're going to start seeing more 1:47:29.160 --> 1:47:31.360 of people kind of shaping their own narrative just to 1:47:31.439 --> 1:47:34.960 get a good deal. Probably unfortunately there is the answer 1:47:35.040 --> 1:47:35.439 to that one. 1:47:35.680 --> 1:47:38.840 Yeah, fascinating. Now the best buy is Sydney Harris Park. 1:47:40.320 --> 1:47:42.680 Yeah, look there was a place in Harris Park, two 1:47:42.720 --> 1:47:45.360 bedroom place, five hundred and eighty five thousand dollars. This 1:47:45.520 --> 1:47:47.560 one soulful and to me, you know what, Luke, this 1:47:47.680 --> 1:47:50.200 shows me that going at that little bit further or 1:47:50.360 --> 1:47:53.240 to sort of areas like this, look, i mean two bath, 1:47:53.400 --> 1:47:56.280 one parking spot five hundred and eighty five thousand, pretty 1:47:56.280 --> 1:47:58.360 good buying in Sydney at the moment, knowing is our 1:47:58.360 --> 1:48:02.200 country's most expensive market and we rarely see anything with 1:48:02.320 --> 1:48:04.960 at least two bedrooms going under sort of seven hundred 1:48:04.960 --> 1:48:07.960 thousand at the moment, So a slight encouraging way of 1:48:08.040 --> 1:48:12.040 light for buyers there incresstmeat in Brisbane there was a 1:48:12.080 --> 1:48:14.640 home that for five bedrooms sold for six hundred and 1:48:14.800 --> 1:48:17.639 twenty five thousand dollars and needs a bit of love 1:48:17.720 --> 1:48:20.920 this place. But I'm hoping again that someone kind of 1:48:21.080 --> 1:48:22.840 makes the most of it and can do something quite 1:48:22.880 --> 1:48:23.360 clever there. 1:48:23.680 --> 1:48:26.599 Tell me about this new research from Domain looking at 1:48:27.120 --> 1:48:31.240 buyer search data and linking it with actual property listings 1:48:31.880 --> 1:48:36.320 and showcases are growing divide, doesn't Yeah, Look, this is 1:48:36.360 --> 1:48:37.519 what I sort. 1:48:37.400 --> 1:48:40.599 Of think about, is that disconnect to what sellers expect 1:48:40.680 --> 1:48:43.000 when it comes to selling and what buyers are willing 1:48:43.120 --> 1:48:45.599 to pay. Now it says to me a lot also 1:48:45.680 --> 1:48:49.160 about the fact that many buyers aren't really educating themselves 1:48:49.360 --> 1:48:52.880 enough about how quickly prices can move in certain parts. 1:48:53.680 --> 1:48:55.880 So I think the message means that buyers really need 1:48:55.920 --> 1:48:57.439 to go in with this with their eyes wide open 1:48:57.520 --> 1:49:01.120 and ensure they're really sort of over with what prices 1:49:01.120 --> 1:49:04.280 are at this current point in time, because the biggest mismatch, 1:49:04.400 --> 1:49:07.240 particularly in the Brisbane area, is that in those inner 1:49:07.439 --> 1:49:12.840 city suburbs and areas also like Sherwood, Interpilli Candale, are 1:49:12.960 --> 1:49:15.960 also showing gaps of what buyers are willing to pay 1:49:16.040 --> 1:49:18.840 and what sellers are expecting to sell for. And I 1:49:18.920 --> 1:49:20.960 guess the reality is that we sort of see this 1:49:21.120 --> 1:49:24.439 imbalance in the market when we're just seeing a disconnection. People, 1:49:24.840 --> 1:49:26.680 I guess aren't being realistic enough that what they have 1:49:26.800 --> 1:49:30.200 to pay, and sellers are also being overly bolshy about 1:49:30.200 --> 1:49:33.120 what they expect to get for the house, particularly I guess, 1:49:33.400 --> 1:49:36.799 giving the affordability constraints that we're seeing, especially in Brisbane, 1:49:37.439 --> 1:49:38.679 in a growing way at the moment. 1:49:39.439 --> 1:49:43.800 Yes, well that is that's really worth a look at. 1:49:43.880 --> 1:49:46.839 Go to the domain website to get all that information. 1:49:47.120 --> 1:49:50.799 Are you telling me that there's a two bedroom cottage 1:49:50.840 --> 1:49:52.960 in Wales that you can get for a couple of bucks? 1:49:54.120 --> 1:49:57.000 It's what I mean that these stories you can't you 1:49:57.120 --> 1:49:59.400 couldn't make them up. A two bedroom cottage is on 1:49:59.479 --> 1:50:03.280 the sale for two dollars. Now, Luke, brace yourself that 1:50:03.400 --> 1:50:06.240 this is completely in a derelict state. But it's in 1:50:06.439 --> 1:50:10.360 Pembroke Dock, a town in the rural countryside of South Wales. 1:50:10.600 --> 1:50:13.960 It overlooks a beautiful river, but basically there is so 1:50:14.120 --> 1:50:16.400 much work that needs to be done here. Now the 1:50:16.479 --> 1:50:19.040 cottage will be solved an online auction and it's part 1:50:19.080 --> 1:50:21.640 of a collection of eighty properties being sold during a 1:50:21.680 --> 1:50:24.519 two day auction event. Now, of course, people in Brisbane 1:50:24.560 --> 1:50:27.040 are all across the fact that they often have these 1:50:27.160 --> 1:50:30.200 super action events take place. A collection and properties listed 1:50:30.560 --> 1:50:32.880 at the same time. We don't see them very much 1:50:32.920 --> 1:50:35.479 in Australia except for in that Brizze market. But this 1:50:35.640 --> 1:50:38.240 place in the in Wales is absolutely having it. The 1:50:38.360 --> 1:50:40.920 lease hold goes for nine hundred and ninety nine years, 1:50:41.360 --> 1:50:44.280 but I just cannot imagine the work needs to be done. 1:50:44.479 --> 1:50:46.799 And look, my advice is also this, if it seems 1:50:46.840 --> 1:50:49.400 too good to be true, it normally is. And who 1:50:49.520 --> 1:50:52.640 knows what's going on here in terms of development or 1:50:52.840 --> 1:50:55.720 in a particularly around the waterways. There can also be 1:50:55.760 --> 1:50:58.400 obstacles there, but certainly worth having a look a look at. 1:50:58.800 --> 1:51:00.599 If you've got a bit of an eu pass potentially 1:51:00.640 --> 1:51:02.120 live over there, check it out. 1:51:02.360 --> 1:51:04.760 Yeah two bucks, goodness me, I'll be there in a 1:51:04.800 --> 1:51:07.720 few weeks. Actually I might just no, I won't back 1:51:07.760 --> 1:51:10.519 in a second.

They're really important information. If you're 1:52:12.880 --> 1:52:15.880 buying a home like I went through, you need domain now. 1:52:16.040 --> 1:52:19.240 News coming up, Craig Bennett after that, Brian Wilson, The 1:52:19.479 --> 1:52:23.240 Life and Times of the Legend of Music.

Great to be 1:53:11.040 --> 1:53:13.840 with you on Saturday, the fourteenth day of June, in 1:53:13.960 --> 1:53:18.560 the winter of Australia warming up. I hope so the 1:53:18.680 --> 1:53:22.920 Continuous Call team there with you after one. I just 1:53:23.000 --> 1:53:24.840 saw the big Man. I love having a chat to 1:53:24.880 --> 1:53:27.760 the big man in the office here. We don't get 1:53:27.760 --> 1:53:30.200 a lot of time. About seven minutes when the news 1:53:30.360 --> 1:53:33.839 is on, he tells me he's got some great stuff 1:53:34.560 --> 1:53:36.720 for you this afternoon. So I keep listening. Whatever you do. 1:53:37.920 --> 1:53:39.840 Mark's here, of course, Mark Leeby, I'll chat to him 1:53:39.920 --> 1:53:43.479 later in the hour. And Craig Bennett The Life and 1:53:43.640 --> 1:53:46.560 Times of Brian Wilson, the Music Legend, will do that. 1:53:46.680 --> 1:53:50.400 On Starstruck today, Richard Miles has been speaking the Deputy 1:53:50.479 --> 1:53:53.400 Prime Minister. I will get to that in just a sec. 1:53:53.880 --> 1:53:58.439 And I want to go back to the Israel. Iran conflict. 1:53:59.800 --> 1:54:03.680 We have seen reports that one woman has died in 1:54:03.800 --> 1:54:07.240 Tel Aviv. I'm waiting for more information than When I 1:54:07.320 --> 1:54:10.000 have that, I'll pass it on to you. I mentioned 1:54:10.040 --> 1:54:13.880 this story a little earlier in the day, and it's 1:54:13.960 --> 1:54:17.679 now been reported more formally in the Telegraph. A former 1:54:17.960 --> 1:54:22.679 Northern Territory Olympian has described a terrifying night of bunkering 1:54:22.800 --> 1:54:28.599 down as Israel with quote unrelenting ballistic missile attacks unquote 1:54:29.200 --> 1:54:35.120 from Iran. Nov Peris said she spent the early waking 1:54:35.280 --> 1:54:41.040 hours in a Jerusalem bomb shelter with eleven other Australians 1:54:41.080 --> 1:54:43.840 who are due to take part in a reception by 1:54:43.960 --> 1:54:49.320 the Israel Australia, New Zealand and Oceania Chamber of Commerce 1:54:49.560 --> 1:54:53.360 on Sunday in Tel Aviv. In a post on Twitter 1:54:53.440 --> 1:54:58.440 this morning or x, miss Peris described their last twenty 1:54:58.480 --> 1:55:01.080 four hours, much of which has been spent in a shelter, 1:55:01.840 --> 1:55:06.600 as deeply confronting. It follows as a tax between Israel 1:55:06.720 --> 1:55:11.960 and Iran have intensified. Posting about two am from Israel, 1:55:12.880 --> 1:55:17.040 Navperi said the last five hours had been extremely frightening 1:55:17.120 --> 1:55:22.080 and distressing. We've witnessed the unrelenting ballistic missile attacks in 1:55:22.200 --> 1:55:26.360 Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and across Israel. There have now been 1:55:26.440 --> 1:55:31.720 three waves of missiles fired directly from Iran, targeting civilians, 1:55:31.760 --> 1:55:39.560 destroying homes and causing widespread devastation. She says, like so 1:55:39.680 --> 1:55:42.200 many here were just doing what Israelis do every day, 1:55:42.320 --> 1:55:47.360 seeking shelters, staying strong, praying for peace. We also stand 1:55:47.480 --> 1:55:51.400 with the two million Arab citizens of Israel who rely 1:55:51.520 --> 1:55:55.000 on the same protection from the IDFs defense systems. This 1:55:55.240 --> 1:55:58.400 isn't about one people, It's about humanity. She thanked everyone 1:55:59.000 --> 1:56:01.480 who sent messages and asked people to keep Israel and 1:56:01.600 --> 1:56:05.520 at citizens in their prayers. We can't wait to come home, 1:56:05.600 --> 1:56:07.880 but for now we're safe in bomb shoulders. We're together, 1:56:08.560 --> 1:56:12.280 our hearts are with all those living through this, this terror. 1:56:13.520 --> 1:56:16.520 I imagine there'll be plenty of people who've expressed an 1:56:16.560 --> 1:56:21.600 opinion about about Middle East wars and conflicts that'll be 1:56:21.680 --> 1:56:23.680 concerned about the kids of Israel, Will they? 1:56:24.760 --> 1:56:24.800 On? 1:56:24.960 --> 1:56:28.680 Three? One eight seven? Three? Hey, look at this, Paula's 1:56:28.720 --> 1:56:29.560 on the line. 1:56:30.800 --> 1:56:30.920 Day. 1:56:31.000 --> 1:56:34.120 Mate. You've seen something remarkable, have you? 1:56:35.440 --> 1:56:35.640 Yeah? 1:56:35.960 --> 1:56:36.800 I'm really sure. 1:56:37.640 --> 1:56:42.760 We're at Cape Solanda at the time, our national park. Yeah, 1:56:42.840 --> 1:56:45.760 at the one watching station, and I'm pretty sure it's 1:56:45.760 --> 1:56:48.240 seen Migelo the word while with a pot of about 1:56:48.440 --> 1:56:49.840 six or seven at the north. 1:56:51.000 --> 1:56:54.480 So just for listeners in the state, this is Cape Solander. 1:56:54.560 --> 1:56:55.720 It's near Colonel. 1:56:56.160 --> 1:56:58.320 Cape Solandri and the Colonel National parkner. 1:56:58.600 --> 1:57:02.880 Yep, and you you saw Migealou the white whale with 1:57:03.000 --> 1:57:04.960 around six or seven of its friends. 1:57:05.040 --> 1:57:05.480 Is that right? 1:57:05.960 --> 1:57:06.520 That's correct? 1:57:07.080 --> 1:57:11.960 Right up again? But yeah, that was about fifteen. 1:57:11.680 --> 1:57:16.000 Minutes ago, passing through the ancient support me by now 1:57:16.080 --> 1:57:19.120 heading more, trying away from to come up again. 1:57:19.680 --> 1:57:22.520 It sounds a bit windy out there. It must be 1:57:22.920 --> 1:57:24.320 nice and cold and fresh. 1:57:24.120 --> 1:57:24.240 Is it? 1:57:25.320 --> 1:57:25.480 Yeah? 1:57:25.880 --> 1:57:31.560 Fresh, it's not too bad. Actually it's okay in good traditions. 1:57:32.720 --> 1:57:36.640 Yeah, okay, great, all right, Paulie, thank you mate at 1:57:36.720 --> 1:57:40.960 the whale watching station at at Colonel Migelu. Do you 1:57:40.960 --> 1:57:44.760 reckon Migalohu's ringing a whale radio station? Well as I 1:57:44.920 --> 1:57:47.720 like to call it a way whaley station saying I 1:57:47.840 --> 1:57:51.840 just saw a human, don't think sae As I mentioned earlier, 1:57:51.960 --> 1:57:57.160 two barrages of Iranian missiles have struck Israel this morning 1:57:57.240 --> 1:57:59.120 three If you believe that report, and why wouldn't you? 1:57:59.600 --> 1:58:03.200 From No the Paris The attacks have reportedly injured forty people, 1:58:03.200 --> 1:58:06.920 who have severely damaged several high rises as fireballs lit 1:58:07.040 --> 1:58:10.280 up the night sky. It follows Israel's deadly strikes on 1:58:10.760 --> 1:58:15.000 Iranian nuclear facilities yesterday. Now Defense Minister and Deputy Prime 1:58:15.000 --> 1:58:18.480 Minister Richard Miles has spoken to the media. He's calling 1:58:18.520 --> 1:58:22.760 on both nations to prioritize dialogue and diplomacy over warfare. 1:58:23.360 --> 1:58:28.480 We well understand the threat that Iran's nuclear and ballistic 1:58:28.600 --> 1:58:34.520 missile program represents. That program is a threat to international 1:58:34.680 --> 1:58:38.520 peace and security. But because of this, we are calling 1:58:38.760 --> 1:58:46.200 on all parties to prioritize dialogue and diplomacy. We specifically 1:58:46.400 --> 1:58:51.800 call on Iran to exercise restraint in their actions so 1:58:52.040 --> 1:58:55.400 as not to risk any broader conflict. 1:58:55.920 --> 1:58:59.880 Now, I guess as a Deputy Prime minister one needs 1:58:59.920 --> 1:59:04.720 to be somewhat restrained. He also advised that Australians in 1:59:04.760 --> 1:59:07.040 the region should heed the advice of the Smart Travel 1:59:07.160 --> 1:59:11.800 website and seek consular assistance if necessary. Well, according to 1:59:11.880 --> 1:59:19.440 a report I mentioned earlier that support's been unavailable, they 1:59:19.440 --> 1:59:23.360 are able to report that Australian diplomatic staff and military 1:59:23.440 --> 1:59:28.040 personnel are safe. Here is more of Richard Miles. 1:59:29.160 --> 1:59:33.480 I can say that we are able to report that 1:59:34.280 --> 1:59:39.200 our embassy staff in both Tehran and Tel Aviv are 1:59:39.360 --> 1:59:43.200 all accounted for and are safe. There are a small 1:59:43.280 --> 1:59:46.760 number of Australian Defense Force personnel within the region. They 1:59:46.880 --> 1:59:50.360 too have all been accounted for and are safe, but 1:59:50.560 --> 1:59:55.480 we will continue to monitor their ongoing safety. 1:59:56.400 --> 1:59:59.600 Yeah, and now the US President Donald Trump has urged 2:00:00.000 --> 2:00:02.120 Aren't to make a deal or face even more brutal 2:00:02.160 --> 2:00:05.720 attacks by Israel. As Washington said, it was helping its 2:00:05.800 --> 2:00:11.280 key all I defend itself against Iranian retaliation. He said, 2:00:11.360 --> 2:00:15.960 maybe now they'll negotiate seriously. They should have made a deal. 2:00:16.080 --> 2:00:18.120 Trump added, I couldn't get them to a deal in 2:00:18.280 --> 2:00:21.080 sixty days. I were close. They should have done it. 2:00:21.240 --> 2:00:25.480 Maybe now it'll happen. Despite the president's admission, mister Trump 2:00:25.520 --> 2:00:29.120 suggested he's not given up on reaching a revised nuclear 2:00:29.200 --> 2:00:33.640 agreement with Iran. The Israeli strikes came days before a 2:00:33.720 --> 2:00:37.800 scheduled sixth round of indirect talks between US Special Middle 2:00:37.840 --> 2:00:43.080 East Envoys Steve Whitkoff and Iranian officials. Oftentimes, a source 2:00:43.120 --> 2:00:47.040 to the White House told The Post of the administration's 2:00:47.120 --> 2:00:53.160 thinking Friday. Pain is the best form of persuasion. Barbara says, 2:00:54.160 --> 2:00:58.920 why do so many people have troubles saying nuclear? Very 2:00:58.960 --> 2:01:02.240 good question. I don't know. It's not a particularly difficult word. 2:01:02.280 --> 2:01:04.760 I wouldn't have thought, but as someone who talks for 2:01:04.800 --> 2:01:11.120 a living, we can't nail everything, and nuclear from many 2:01:11.120 --> 2:01:15.280 of us is not difficult. But it seems political leadership 2:01:15.320 --> 2:01:18.800 in Australia, particularly on one side of the spectrum nuclear 2:01:20.000 --> 2:01:22.520 is just I can think of three of them, maybe 2:01:22.560 --> 2:01:25.680 one of them. You just heard Jeff says. You think 2:01:25.680 --> 2:01:28.160 at least the Defense Minister could pronounce the word nuclear. 2:01:30.400 --> 2:01:36.000 Why are people so unkind? Thank you, Jeff Michael. I 2:01:36.080 --> 2:01:38.480 don't talk about colleagues, but thank you for getting in touch. 2:01:39.080 --> 2:01:43.200 I wonder what he said one three one eight seven 2:01:43.280 --> 2:01:46.080 three zero course zero eight seven three eight seven three. 2:01:46.120 --> 2:01:48.640 We better take a braak. Look, well, I play another 2:01:48.680 --> 2:01:50.520 Brian Wilson sign. We're going to do some Brian. I 2:01:50.640 --> 2:01:53.440 am going to play another Brian Wilson song. I think 2:01:53.480 --> 2:01:56.440 it's the least we can do. And I think this 2:01:56.680 --> 2:01:59.160 was made famous well. It was made famous by the 2:01:59.240 --> 2:02:02.960 Beach Boys, and it was made famous from memory by 2:02:03.440 --> 2:02:07.080 well that the soccer pools or lotto or something. Wouldn't 2:02:07.120 --> 2:02:15.000 it be nice? May sixteen parts Mendo, there you go, 2:02:15.280 --> 2:02:19.200 beach boys. Wouldn't it be nice? One of my listeners, 2:02:21.240 --> 2:02:25.680 who is it Phil? We have a wooden knit in Australia. 2:02:26.880 --> 2:02:29.640 Then he suggests it's a senior politician. I might just 2:02:30.520 --> 2:02:33.400 we'll try and be kind here, Cadbury. Wouldn't it be 2:02:33.520 --> 2:02:36.600 nice if the world was chocolate? I think was one 2:02:36.680 --> 2:02:41.960 ad here? Certainly the lotto ad and that too. You're right, 2:02:43.480 --> 2:02:46.200 and other listeners as if the protagonists are going to 2:02:46.240 --> 2:02:51.400 take notice of anything, Miles ab Elbow or Penny Wong 2:02:51.680 --> 2:02:55.880 a calling laborer known as Andti Israel, they should put 2:02:55.920 --> 2:03:00.240 dummies in their mouth. Okay, thank you for that. Thank 2:03:00.240 --> 2:03:03.120 you Simon for getting in touch. Any chance of playing 2:03:03.160 --> 2:03:08.320 Barbara and well, we'll see. I think there's perhaps a 2:03:08.360 --> 2:03:12.160 little bit of Barbara and coming your way. As stupid 2:03:12.160 --> 2:03:14.960 Australian politicians, you don't talk to your enemy, you kill them. 2:03:15.760 --> 2:03:20.800 Lewis telling it like it is Virginia. Why are people 2:03:20.880 --> 2:03:24.520 so pedantic? I think people have an expectation that if 2:03:24.560 --> 2:03:27.480 you are elected to high office, you might just have 2:03:27.600 --> 2:03:29.720 some idea about the use of the language. We have 2:03:29.840 --> 2:03:32.680 in this country. I don't think it's pedantic. I think 2:03:32.760 --> 2:03:36.480 it's calling out perhaps a decline in standards. I mean, 2:03:36.560 --> 2:03:40.680 if the significant leadership can't say the word, we shouldn't 2:03:40.720 --> 2:03:44.560 be over. The concerns should be that kids are failing 2:03:44.800 --> 2:03:49.360 on the global stage. Seriously. Used to have standards eye 2:03:49.440 --> 2:03:51.680 the old days. Now we just put up with any 2:03:51.760 --> 2:03:55.920 old crap. Well done, We'll take a break. Craig Bennett, 2:03:55.960 --> 2:03:58.720 in just a moment just on the text ingrad says, 2:03:58.760 --> 2:04:00.960 I'm with you, Luke at please the way I suppose 2:04:01.000 --> 2:04:04.480 that the intelligent don't pronounce words, I should know how 2:04:04.520 --> 2:04:07.840 to pronounce well, I mean there is, whether they like 2:04:07.920 --> 2:04:10.920 it or not, there is an influence these people have 2:04:11.080 --> 2:04:14.840 over others. And it's the same when these is to 2:04:14.920 --> 2:04:17.320 be standards. And I'm probably the old bloke on the radio, 2:04:17.400 --> 2:04:20.400 but guess what I am. You know you don't just 2:04:20.480 --> 2:04:23.040 get to turn up in the Senate with an open 2:04:23.080 --> 2:04:26.600 neck shirt and a jacket. It's a bit more respect. Please, 2:04:27.280 --> 2:04:29.640 we're a bloody tie like it's always been the chance. 2:04:29.720 --> 2:04:31.960 I'd always been the thing. And if there comes a 2:04:32.040 --> 2:04:34.640 time where together we think okay we can ease off 2:04:34.760 --> 2:04:39.040 do it. But you don't. It's not Twitter. You don't 2:04:39.080 --> 2:04:41.600 get just to do your own thing. You don't get 2:04:41.680 --> 2:04:45.240 to invent how a word's pronounced or not. And it's 2:04:45.280 --> 2:04:47.080 a lack of respect. I know I'm the old bloke 2:04:47.160 --> 2:04:49.200 on the radio, but I can do with it. A 2:04:49.280 --> 2:04:51.200 lot of people are agreeing with the old bloke on 2:04:51.240 --> 2:04:53.200 the radio. I have to say, just an old bloke 2:04:53.240 --> 2:04:57.840 on the radio. Tomorrow is World Elder Abuse Day. This 2:04:58.040 --> 2:05:02.280 sickens me. If you have abuse an older person, you're 2:05:02.320 --> 2:05:08.320 a gutless you know what, You're gutless. Now. What shames 2:05:08.400 --> 2:05:12.480 me is that more than one in six older Australians 2:05:12.560 --> 2:05:16.920 experienced elder abuse and over sixty percent of them don't 2:05:17.000 --> 2:05:21.040 report it. And partly they're frightened of reporting it. And 2:05:21.120 --> 2:05:24.520 the other part of that is because in the old days, 2:05:24.640 --> 2:05:26.760 oh here he goes again, the old blog in the radio, 2:05:27.360 --> 2:05:30.880 you just got on with things even though today they're 2:05:30.920 --> 2:05:34.920 not tolerable. Don't not report them, report them. But you 2:05:35.000 --> 2:05:37.640 know now, oh he looked at me, funny, that bloke. Yeah, 2:05:37.640 --> 2:05:40.880 but he didn't. He wasn't no, but I thought he 2:05:40.960 --> 2:05:44.760 looked at me funny. That's not right. Having me come 2:05:44.800 --> 2:05:50.680 a long way can't talk. Everyone's a victim, and we'll 2:05:50.840 --> 2:05:54.240 just decide what standards exist. I don't normally like to 2:05:54.280 --> 2:05:55.760 get angry at the end of the show and fight 2:05:55.920 --> 2:05:59.320 up about stuff, but something's really peed me off. Forgive 2:05:59.400 --> 2:05:59.720 me for that. 2:06:00.640 --> 2:06:04.840 I know what will bring me happiness this gramm, the 2:06:04.920 --> 2:06:08.720 smelling souls industrial strength if you have them, and don't 2:06:08.760 --> 2:06:12.840 forget the pickle juice, because it's time for starstroke with 2:06:13.080 --> 2:06:13.879 Craig Bennett. 2:06:19.160 --> 2:06:22.120 Now, Craig Bennett is with us, and I don't know 2:06:22.400 --> 2:06:25.160 anyone in the world best better equipped to tell us 2:06:25.200 --> 2:06:28.640 about the life and times of Brian Wilson, the genius 2:06:28.720 --> 2:06:35.400 behind the Beach Boys and all these great songs. Yeah, look, 2:06:35.480 --> 2:06:37.440 I think it's not unfair to refer to him as 2:06:37.440 --> 2:06:40.480 a genius as I say, a very good afternoon to you, 2:06:41.240 --> 2:06:44.880 Craig Bennett, the life and times of Brian Wilson, Boyd. 2:06:44.920 --> 2:06:46.000 There were some songs there. 2:06:45.960 --> 2:06:49.680 Right, there were some songs there. Might I say, Luke Grant, 2:06:49.800 --> 2:06:52.600 a very good afternoon to you. And I'm always thrilled 2:06:52.680 --> 2:06:55.880 to be your happy pill or your little endow accelerator. 2:06:56.440 --> 2:06:59.000 You know, well, it can happen when you covering bad 2:06:59.120 --> 2:07:00.720 news and you just need a little bit of a 2:07:01.680 --> 2:07:03.880 little bit of a kick in the right direction. I'm 2:07:03.920 --> 2:07:06.080 happy to be your mate. You're right. Genius. There is 2:07:06.160 --> 2:07:12.640 a word that absolutely applies to the brilliance of Brian Wilson. Look, 2:07:12.680 --> 2:07:16.800 as Elton John said, a musical revolutionary. We know he 2:07:16.920 --> 2:07:19.720 was a singer, a songwriter, producer, one of the founders, 2:07:19.760 --> 2:07:23.160 as you mentioned, of the Beach Boys, a band that 2:07:23.320 --> 2:07:25.760 you think about it nineteen sixty one when it kicked 2:07:25.800 --> 2:07:29.840 off to now has sold over one hundred million records 2:07:30.760 --> 2:07:34.040 and counting. And he played some of those iconic songs 2:07:34.080 --> 2:07:38.000 Surf for USA. Of course there were surfer Girl, Surfing Safari, 2:07:38.080 --> 2:07:40.760 wouldn't it be nice? Good vibrations with in that mix? 2:07:40.800 --> 2:07:43.680 Helped me Ronda California girls so many We could go 2:07:43.800 --> 2:07:46.960 on all avo and you know I can so. But 2:07:47.560 --> 2:07:50.000 you think Brian wrote or co wrote all of those 2:07:50.360 --> 2:07:53.880 and dozens more songs, and I guess, as we all know. 2:07:54.000 --> 2:07:57.040 Thursday morning, the newsale through that Brian had been gathered 2:07:57.080 --> 2:08:00.800 snatched from the world left us in Los Angeelus in fact, 2:08:00.840 --> 2:08:03.240 a week shy of what would have been his eighty 2:08:03.320 --> 2:08:07.640 third birthday. And friends, Look, they came out rather philosophical, 2:08:07.680 --> 2:08:10.080 I think Luke saying, knowing all that he'd been through 2:08:10.320 --> 2:08:12.520 and certainly how his last few years had played out, 2:08:13.120 --> 2:08:15.520 hoping that he was now finally at peace, look maybe 2:08:15.560 --> 2:08:19.160 even reunited with his brothers. Of course, his Beach Boys 2:08:20.240 --> 2:08:23.720 co stars Carl and Dennis Wilson, both of whom died. 2:08:23.760 --> 2:08:26.600 Oh tell you about that. During his time away from 2:08:26.640 --> 2:08:30.640 the Beach Boys, he released fifteen solo albums wonderful solo singer. 2:08:30.960 --> 2:08:33.680 His first was Brian Wilson that came out in nineteen 2:08:33.760 --> 2:08:37.200 eighty eight, and it's charting again. See when somebody a 2:08:37.320 --> 2:08:39.080 great like this stars all of a sudden, they have 2:08:39.280 --> 2:08:41.640 zooming to the top of the charts all round the place. 2:08:42.160 --> 2:08:44.720 His last album was released four years ago and it 2:08:44.800 --> 2:08:49.400 was called Brian Wilson Long Promised Road. Look in his life, 2:08:49.440 --> 2:08:52.440 two Grammy Awards, sitting on his mantle, Revered by fans 2:08:52.920 --> 2:08:56.320 and music superstars alike. He was dubbed the reigning King 2:08:56.400 --> 2:09:00.640 of Pop melody. And despite what appeared to be in 2:09:00.840 --> 2:09:04.040 terms of fame and fortune, this magic carpet ride his 2:09:04.240 --> 2:09:06.520 private life. So you flipped the coin. The private life 2:09:06.640 --> 2:09:09.640 was a tumultuous doesn't even touch the sides. You know, 2:09:09.720 --> 2:09:12.440 we go from an abusive father. I'll, in fact tell 2:09:12.520 --> 2:09:15.600 you what Brian's father, Murray used to do with his 2:09:15.760 --> 2:09:18.760 glass eye, because his dad had a glass eye. You'll 2:09:18.840 --> 2:09:22.960 be absolutely shocked. And Brian claims, in fact, it was 2:09:23.040 --> 2:09:25.040 what his dad used to do with his glass eye 2:09:25.120 --> 2:09:27.440 that kind of got him on drugs in the first place. 2:09:27.840 --> 2:09:32.200 So look, there were the drugs, the booze, shocking mental breakdowns, 2:09:32.440 --> 2:09:36.920 schizophrenic episodes. He became this recluse and would spend months 2:09:36.960 --> 2:09:41.080 at a stretch in bed. He over eight and became 2:09:41.200 --> 2:09:44.600 morbidly obese. He was at one stage under the sway 2:09:44.680 --> 2:09:49.960 of this brainwashing shrink. For forty years, Brian Wilson had 2:09:50.000 --> 2:09:54.120 been haunted by the voice of his dead father telling 2:09:54.240 --> 2:09:58.640 him that he was essentially useless, he was worthless, no 2:09:58.880 --> 2:10:01.320 point in you living an more. And so I mean 2:10:01.600 --> 2:10:05.480 Brian took that to heed for decades. He was driven 2:10:05.560 --> 2:10:09.520 to despair by hallucinations and other voices. Not just his 2:10:09.680 --> 2:10:14.280 father was look. He so hated himself. At one point 2:10:14.360 --> 2:10:18.760 in time he even dug his own grave. He tried 2:10:18.800 --> 2:10:22.160 to drive a car off a cliff. He was diagnosed 2:10:22.200 --> 2:10:25.680 with Schitzo effective disorder He in fact wrote about all 2:10:25.760 --> 2:10:27.680 of this in a memoir that for those who love 2:10:27.760 --> 2:10:30.440 Brian Wilson, the Beach Boys and that whole genre of music, 2:10:31.120 --> 2:10:33.840 and all those involved in this incredible memoir, I Am 2:10:34.080 --> 2:10:37.240 Brian Wilson that came out back in twenty sixteen that 2:10:37.360 --> 2:10:40.560 the detailed what could only be described as epic heis 2:10:40.640 --> 2:10:44.480 and absolutely crushing lows. Two marriages, seven kids. In fact, 2:10:44.480 --> 2:10:48.120 two of his daughters, Carney and Wendy, formed or formed 2:10:48.160 --> 2:10:51.720 two thirds of Wilson Phillips, with Trina Phillips of course, 2:10:51.800 --> 2:10:54.120 the daughter of the Mummers, and the pappas John and 2:10:54.160 --> 2:10:57.680 Michelle Phillips making up the other third. Look, it is Luke, 2:10:57.800 --> 2:11:00.480 a shocker of a story. We go from music genius 2:11:00.560 --> 2:11:04.600 but the devil by an abusive father, and then interestingly 2:11:04.680 --> 2:11:08.120 how two years of age hearing the music of all people, 2:11:08.240 --> 2:11:13.560 George Gershwin completely changed his life forever. And of course 2:11:13.640 --> 2:11:16.800 then it's the sadness of his longtime feud with cousin 2:11:16.840 --> 2:11:20.000 and Beach Boys great Mike Love but did they repair 2:11:20.080 --> 2:11:22.760 that riff just before Brian sailed away last week? 2:11:22.880 --> 2:11:25.560 So it's one hell of a story, That's all I 2:11:25.640 --> 2:11:26.160 got to say. 2:11:26.400 --> 2:11:28.240 All right, we'll take a break and come back with 2:11:28.480 --> 2:11:31.840 all of that next and we are living the life 2:11:31.920 --> 2:11:35.800 of the genius. It was Brian Wilson through the words 2:11:35.920 --> 2:11:40.560 the eyes of Craig Bennett, and he's about to pick 2:11:40.680 --> 2:11:42.160 up with some stuff. And I just want to say 2:11:42.200 --> 2:11:44.520 to you, mate that even though we have a somber 2:11:44.640 --> 2:11:48.640 tone today because we lost Brian this week, our friend 2:11:48.800 --> 2:11:53.680 Mick from Winston Hills says, Luke, I know Craig's only 2:11:53.760 --> 2:11:58.400 scratched the surface, but I'm already heavily into the smelling salts. 2:11:59.400 --> 2:12:01.240 That's good. Thank you Mick for letting us know that 2:12:01.480 --> 2:12:04.760 we were wondering, both of us, weren't we We were. 2:12:05.200 --> 2:12:09.880 And I also have another message from Steven sim Tweedheads, 2:12:10.000 --> 2:12:12.440 who has been asking me now for quite some time 2:12:12.520 --> 2:12:15.840 to talk the life and times of Brian Wilson when 2:12:15.880 --> 2:12:20.640 Brian was alive. He's no longer. And Stephen did also 2:12:20.760 --> 2:12:23.520 say that he would have the smelling salts very firmly 2:12:23.720 --> 2:12:27.200 in his grip. I think that's I think that's very 2:12:27.320 --> 2:12:29.800 why so Brian Wilson, That's how he was born, that 2:12:30.000 --> 2:12:33.560 was his name in Los Angeles. As I mentioned, Luke, 2:12:33.600 --> 2:12:36.320 he'd be turning eighty three next week next Friday. Left 2:12:36.400 --> 2:12:40.240 us last Thursday after a life that was a roller 2:12:40.320 --> 2:12:42.880 coaster only way to describe it. He was the eldest 2:12:42.880 --> 2:12:45.840 of three kids, so he has two brothers, or had 2:12:45.880 --> 2:12:49.120 two brothers. They're all dead now, Dennis and Carl, So 2:12:49.240 --> 2:12:53.120 along with their cousin Mike Love and Brian's school friend 2:12:53.400 --> 2:12:58.080 Al Jardine, they were the original Beach Boys lineup, and 2:12:58.280 --> 2:13:01.640 we'll get to that shortly. So Brian's dad, Murray, was 2:13:03.240 --> 2:13:06.680 a machinist who then became something of a songwriter, and 2:13:06.720 --> 2:13:08.880 then he looked after the Beach Boys as their manager 2:13:08.960 --> 2:13:12.000 for a bit. And so there was Brian's mum who 2:13:12.080 --> 2:13:14.680 basically looked after the three kids, a homemaker, I think 2:13:14.720 --> 2:13:17.280 you'd say in the old days. So, according to Brian, 2:13:17.400 --> 2:13:22.480 Dennis and Carl, their dad could have spats of being 2:13:22.560 --> 2:13:28.400 hideously abusive verbally physically. Brian had lifelong hearing problems in 2:13:28.480 --> 2:13:31.720 his right ear, and it had been suggested this could 2:13:31.720 --> 2:13:34.040 have come about from having been beaten around the head 2:13:34.120 --> 2:13:37.720 by his father, but that's never been confirmed. It certainly 2:13:37.800 --> 2:13:40.680 that's what's been speculated in an array of biographies on 2:13:40.760 --> 2:13:43.320 the life and times of Brian Wilson. Now, when he 2:13:43.480 --> 2:13:47.600 was two he heard George Gershwin's Wonderful Rhapsody in Blue, 2:13:48.120 --> 2:13:51.120 and that changed his life forever. From that moment, Brian, 2:13:51.200 --> 2:13:54.160 even as a top he reacted to music. He began 2:13:54.320 --> 2:13:57.760 harmonizing and was from the moment he opened his mouth 2:13:57.840 --> 2:14:02.480 in that kind of song way pitch perfect. His dad, Murray, 2:14:02.600 --> 2:14:06.040 encouraged all of his sons, his three sons, into music. 2:14:06.120 --> 2:14:09.360 They took accordion lessons, they sang in school and church choirs. 2:14:10.240 --> 2:14:12.640 And then when Murray brought home an upright piano and 2:14:12.720 --> 2:14:16.200 not upright Piano'brian he was twelve, then taught himself how 2:14:16.280 --> 2:14:19.160 to play. Look, he began writing songs. He just had 2:14:19.200 --> 2:14:23.560 this exquisitely naturally of the music. But it songwriting, be 2:14:23.680 --> 2:14:27.600 it harmonizing, singing, or playing instruments. He was just one 2:14:27.640 --> 2:14:31.000 of those naturals. As a teenager, worked sweeping out a 2:14:31.080 --> 2:14:33.600 jewelry store to earn a bit of money. And then 2:14:33.640 --> 2:14:37.480 in nineteen sixty one, so he's what they're nineteen, he 2:14:37.640 --> 2:14:40.200 pens a song called Surfer Girl, and together with his 2:14:40.320 --> 2:14:43.760 brothers Dennis and Carl, cousin Mike Love and their friend 2:14:44.280 --> 2:14:47.280 or his friend from school al they form a group 2:14:47.400 --> 2:14:51.280 called the Pendletones, which was named after a type of 2:14:51.640 --> 2:14:54.800 woolen shirt, the Pendleton, that they wore back in the day. 2:14:54.920 --> 2:14:58.000 Now the group signed a record deal. The record company 2:14:58.160 --> 2:15:00.400 changed their name to the Beach Boys after Dennis, who 2:15:00.440 --> 2:15:02.120 was in fact the only real surf of the group, 2:15:02.520 --> 2:15:06.640 suggested they start writing songs about the style and that 2:15:06.800 --> 2:15:10.480 kind of you know, really, now it's iconic, that surfy 2:15:10.560 --> 2:15:14.440 culture of southern California. The original record company win broke, 2:15:14.520 --> 2:15:17.040 so they signed a seven to deal with Capitol Records. 2:15:17.320 --> 2:15:19.240 That was nineteen sixty two, and as they say in 2:15:19.280 --> 2:15:22.880 the classics, the rest is history. Look sadly, there was 2:15:22.920 --> 2:15:26.800 always drama surrounding Brian. So, for instance, nineteen sixty four, 2:15:27.280 --> 2:15:29.120 the guys are off on a tour. They're coming back 2:15:29.160 --> 2:15:31.480 from one leg of the tour, and he suffered this 2:15:31.600 --> 2:15:34.879 freak out on board a flight from Los Angeles to Houston. 2:15:35.520 --> 2:15:38.920 At one point he was replaced by Glenn Campbell. In 2:15:39.040 --> 2:15:43.000 the early sixties, Brian started using marijuana and hashi. She 2:15:43.240 --> 2:15:46.120 was drinking. He took to his bed on and off, 2:15:46.200 --> 2:15:50.600 sometimes for months at a stretch. He'd wander around out 2:15:50.680 --> 2:15:55.440 in public talking a hugely famous man in his pajamas 2:15:55.560 --> 2:15:58.520 that were kind of hanging down round his knees and whatever. 2:15:59.320 --> 2:16:03.280 He started binge eating, ballooning to one hundred and forty kilos, 2:16:03.640 --> 2:16:06.600 and that was in the seventies. He plunged into these 2:16:06.720 --> 2:16:11.560 wild depressions, could barely work, refused to tour. He had 2:16:11.640 --> 2:16:15.400 this sandbox in his lounge room and like a baby, 2:16:15.560 --> 2:16:18.240 like a kid, would sit and play in the sandbox 2:16:18.320 --> 2:16:21.800 with plastic rakes and things for days. When he took 2:16:21.880 --> 2:16:26.839 to his bed, he barely moved, refused to wash or shave, serious, 2:16:26.960 --> 2:16:30.480 serious problems. He wrote in his Eye and Brian memoir, 2:16:30.600 --> 2:16:33.600 how his father, whom he described as a deranged drunk, 2:16:34.360 --> 2:16:37.040 had this glass eye, and what he'd do is it 2:16:37.040 --> 2:16:39.280 would take the glass eye out, and he forced his 2:16:39.400 --> 2:16:43.040 three sons to peer into the hole behind that glass eye, 2:16:43.240 --> 2:16:46.600 and this freaked all of them out. And his dad 2:16:46.720 --> 2:16:50.000 kind of got this weird kick, this perverse kick, out 2:16:50.040 --> 2:16:52.520 of making the kids look into the hole where the 2:16:52.600 --> 2:16:57.480 glass eye sat. And Brian said, reconciling that kind of 2:16:57.879 --> 2:17:01.520 horror and why would you do that sort of launched 2:17:01.560 --> 2:17:04.920 him into drugs. Look since nineteen sixty five, he claimed 2:17:05.280 --> 2:17:09.520 to be haunted by hallucinations and these disembodied voices, all 2:17:09.600 --> 2:17:12.400 of which got worse when his father died, because then 2:17:12.440 --> 2:17:14.880 he began hearing the voices of his father. He's saying 2:17:14.920 --> 2:17:18.040 these awful things. Brian thought Satan was after him. At 2:17:18.080 --> 2:17:20.600 one point, he dug a hole in the backyard of 2:17:20.640 --> 2:17:23.800 his Beverly Hills home and he asked his gardeners to 2:17:23.840 --> 2:17:27.200 push him in and cover him with dirt. On another occasion, 2:17:27.240 --> 2:17:29.640 he tried to drive his car off a cliff, and 2:17:29.720 --> 2:17:32.240 then he tried to drive his car off the Santa 2:17:32.320 --> 2:17:38.240 Monica Peer. He came under the sway of this brainwashing. 2:17:38.280 --> 2:17:40.280 Shrink is the only way to frame this guy. Doctor 2:17:40.920 --> 2:17:45.640 Eugene Landy, who completely manipulated Brian Wilson's life, got him 2:17:45.640 --> 2:17:49.760 into other drugs like LSD, all these sort of psychotrophic drugs, 2:17:50.360 --> 2:17:55.600 refuted that Brian had schizophrenic issues, which other doctors were saying, 2:17:55.640 --> 2:17:58.360 I think this is what your problem is, and doctor 2:17:58.480 --> 2:18:01.720 Landy would say, no, it's not at all. Your problem is. 2:18:01.920 --> 2:18:04.480 You are just scared. You have to overcome this fear. 2:18:05.080 --> 2:18:07.120 So we've got all that. Look to his private life, 2:18:07.240 --> 2:18:10.320 married twice, first wife was a singer, Marilyn Rovel, who 2:18:10.640 --> 2:18:13.279 sang with her sisters in a group called the Honeys. 2:18:13.320 --> 2:18:13.440 Now. 2:18:13.520 --> 2:18:15.800 She met Brian back in nineteen sixty two at a 2:18:15.879 --> 2:18:18.960 nightclub in la She was fifteen, probably shouldn't have been there, 2:18:19.000 --> 2:18:21.200 he was twenty one. They met over a cup of 2:18:21.240 --> 2:18:21.840 hot chocolate. 2:18:21.920 --> 2:18:22.800 I just want you to know. 2:18:23.320 --> 2:18:25.920 They wed a few years later nineteen sixty four. Had 2:18:25.959 --> 2:18:29.320 two daughters, Carne and Wendy, now both singers Wilson Phillips. 2:18:29.840 --> 2:18:33.240 Brian and Marylyn divorced in it was nineteen seventy nine, 2:18:33.280 --> 2:18:36.800 but not before he'd had an affair with Marylyn's sister Diane. 2:18:37.760 --> 2:18:42.840 He then married Melinda Ledbetter as her name nineteen ninety five. 2:18:43.640 --> 2:18:47.879 They adopted five kids. Melinda had been a used car dealer, 2:18:48.200 --> 2:18:51.119 but then went on to become Brian's manager very successfully. 2:18:51.600 --> 2:18:55.360 They remained blissfully married until her death last year. In fact, 2:18:55.680 --> 2:18:57.680 they first met in the eighties when she sold him 2:18:57.720 --> 2:19:01.039 a Cadillac. So there you go. It was Melinda who 2:19:01.240 --> 2:19:04.720 got Brian back on track, helped him finish off albums 2:19:04.760 --> 2:19:06.920 because there are all sorts of threads in his life 2:19:07.000 --> 2:19:10.000 that hadn't been tidied up. She got him out of 2:19:10.040 --> 2:19:14.440 the clutches of doctor Landy. Their love story played out 2:19:14.560 --> 2:19:17.280 in a wonderful movie twenty fourteen. I think it came 2:19:17.320 --> 2:19:20.119 out Love and Mercy, of course, after one of Brian 2:19:20.160 --> 2:19:24.360 Wilson's fabulous song. It was a movie that starred Paul 2:19:24.480 --> 2:19:28.080 Dano as the young Brian Wilson, John Cusack as the 2:19:28.160 --> 2:19:32.039 older Brian Wilson, and Elizabeth Banks played his wife. Now Look, 2:19:32.120 --> 2:19:36.200 after Melinda's death and with Brian having been diagnosed with 2:19:36.360 --> 2:19:41.760 dementia last year, he then went into this guardianship situation 2:19:41.840 --> 2:19:43.800 where he was looked after by two friends and of 2:19:43.879 --> 2:19:47.080 course his kids all very close. Now, during those decades 2:19:47.120 --> 2:19:50.520 of mental health horrors, there were lawsuits that flew over royalties. 2:19:50.560 --> 2:19:54.720 He had this massive falling out with Mike Love, his cousin, 2:19:54.840 --> 2:19:57.600 who sued him several times, claiming that he'd been ousted 2:19:57.959 --> 2:20:01.200 on the songwriting credits. How it wasn't Brian Wilson who 2:20:01.480 --> 2:20:05.280 wrote some of those songs solo, that Mike had written 2:20:05.320 --> 2:20:07.320 them with him. And in fact Brian had to pay 2:20:07.480 --> 2:20:10.880 five million dollars at some point for songwriting royalties that 2:20:11.000 --> 2:20:13.360 at that point in time had gone unpaid. Look, he 2:20:13.480 --> 2:20:15.600 was rocked by the death of his two brothers, there 2:20:15.720 --> 2:20:19.080 was Dennis Wilson who drowned in nineteen eighty three. He 2:20:19.160 --> 2:20:22.920 had been partying on a boat and jumped overboard and 2:20:23.480 --> 2:20:26.320 something happened and he drowned. That was off the coast 2:20:26.400 --> 2:20:29.720 of Los Angeles. And Carl Wilson died of lung cancer 2:20:29.800 --> 2:20:31.880 in nineteen ninety eight. And of course, with all of 2:20:32.320 --> 2:20:35.400 Brian's issues, he would then be hearing the voices of 2:20:35.480 --> 2:20:37.520 his dead brothers as well on top of his dead 2:20:37.600 --> 2:20:41.160 father and Satan, and heavens knows what else. Look despite 2:20:41.280 --> 2:20:45.040 his tumultuous mental state and what by virtue of that 2:20:45.560 --> 2:20:49.160 was a crazed live luke. He revered his wife Melinda, 2:20:49.400 --> 2:20:53.520 loved his seven kids, loved his music, and Carne Wilson 2:20:53.760 --> 2:20:57.240 said in a social media post it was on Friday yesterday, 2:20:57.879 --> 2:21:00.600 but she hopes her dad is up there playing with 2:21:00.760 --> 2:21:04.080 his mum, who he treasured, and his beloved late late 2:21:04.160 --> 2:21:08.440 wife Melinda, my love, who, as I've just said, had 2:21:08.520 --> 2:21:14.080 this difficult relationship with Brian. Wilson also attempted to make 2:21:14.120 --> 2:21:17.880 amends near the end. No word on a cause of 2:21:17.959 --> 2:21:21.120 death at this point in time or funeral plans, but 2:21:22.120 --> 2:21:24.640 you know, gosh, I'll tell you what he leaves behind. 2:21:24.720 --> 2:21:27.440 Something in the vicinity of one hundred million dollars. He 2:21:27.920 --> 2:21:30.280 made a fortune, lost of fortune and kind of made 2:21:30.320 --> 2:21:33.480 it all back again. And there is absolutely no doubting 2:21:33.760 --> 2:21:38.200 his music genius and what that incredible legacy will be. 2:21:39.360 --> 2:21:44.760 You may mention of Gershwin, and it was maybe ten 2:21:44.920 --> 2:21:47.920 years or more ago now that he actually put out 2:21:48.080 --> 2:21:50.760 an album. Do you remember that reimagines Gershwin? 2:21:51.360 --> 2:21:54.080 I do, And there you now know, why don't you do? 2:21:54.920 --> 2:21:58.240 George Gershwin was just it was like literally the first 2:21:58.320 --> 2:22:02.160 piece of music he heard, and that's where his life. 2:22:02.240 --> 2:22:04.840 It was like this epiphany, even at two years of age. 2:22:04.920 --> 2:22:08.000 He was just drawn to it, reacted to it. And 2:22:08.120 --> 2:22:11.160 I guess looking back over, that is probably why he 2:22:11.320 --> 2:22:15.560 reimagined the music of Gershwin, among others, in that particular 2:22:15.640 --> 2:22:16.800 album you're talking about. 2:22:17.040 --> 2:22:22.120 Yeah, I just noticed on Apple Music, and I'm sure 2:22:22.200 --> 2:22:26.879 this is just coincidental. But on May thirty he released 2:22:27.120 --> 2:22:33.119 a single someone called Jeffrey Foskett called Mary Honey. 2:22:34.879 --> 2:22:38.480 Oh didn't know that, You know what? 2:22:38.680 --> 2:22:41.280 For me, it's nice to be surprised from time to time. 2:22:42.240 --> 2:22:45.640 Normally I'm on the floor in shock myself, having run 2:22:45.680 --> 2:22:48.360 out of smelling salts and there's not a drop of 2:22:48.440 --> 2:22:53.359 pickle juice left in the suburb. So you know, Unfortunately, 2:22:53.400 --> 2:22:55.879 when I'm shocked like that and I don't have any remedies, 2:22:56.280 --> 2:22:57.320 this could be parlours. 2:22:58.760 --> 2:22:59.480 Have a good weekend. 2:22:59.560 --> 2:22:59.800 Thank you. 2:23:00.200 --> 2:23:04.760 That's outstanding.

I didn't realize 2:23:16.480 --> 2:23:20.560 that there was a single release on When was it 2:23:20.680 --> 2:23:24.920 May twenty, May thirty.
