WEBVTT - Weekends with Luke Grant - Saturday 21 June 0:00:01.040 --> 0:00:10.240 Whoa across Australia this is weekends would look Grant. 0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:14.880 But you gotta keep your head up and let's. 0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:15.360 Your hand up. 0:00:16.560 --> 0:00:20.640 You gotta keep your head up and lets your hand up. 0:00:22.000 --> 0:00:27.680 I know it's hard, No, it's hard. Sometimes you gotta 0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:35.159 keep your head up. Thank you, let your head downy. 0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:36.440 Good morning, Welcome to weekends with Luke Grant. Great to 0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:38.440 be with you on two GB in Sydney, four being 0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:41.840 sitting in Brisbane and listeners on our apps joining us 0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:46.640 all around Australia. It's June twenty first Saturday morning in 0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:49.800 the greatest country on Earth and what I bitterly call 0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:52.800 start of the day today minus one at Camden in Sydney, 0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:57.840 zero ward Richmond in Sydney, minus seven point six in Canberra, 0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:03.840 minus Kenneth Goldban in Queensland. Zero at ok It's about 0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:06.760 the coldest I could see Stanthorpe, where it's normally near 0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:11.840 or below zero. Currently nine six at Winton in out 0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:15.440 back Queensland. One at Charleville near zero at Roma, six 0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:19.560 at Amblee, rug Up I Cantinllue. Today in Australia is 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:23.080 the shortest day of the year quote unquote, as the 0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:29.000 Southern hemisphere experiences the winter solstice. Now, the exact moment 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:33.240 the Southern hemisphere is at its furthest tilt from the 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:37.840 sun is at twelve forty two pm. We'll be on 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:40.920 air then. I feel like we should mark the occasion. 0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:43.880 I don't know how we do that, but we've got 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:47.040 some time to think about it. While the winter solstice 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:50.640 is referred to as the shortest day and longest night 0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:53.560 of the year, it actually just means it's the day 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:56.600 with the least amount of daylight hours, and that's because 0:01:57.200 --> 0:02:00.240 it's when the Southern hemisphere is at its furthest to 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:05.280 tilt away from the sun, meaning we get less sunlight. 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:11.520 At the same time, Unsurprisingly, the northern hemisphere will be 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:16.240 experiencing the summer solstice, which is often regarded as the 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:19.960 longest day of the year. We have our summer solstice 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:23.880 on December twenty second. For those playing along at home, 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:27.520 today's forecast in Sydney a Sunday day tops of nineteen 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:31.160 in the city nineteen and Penrith nineteen. Parramatta and a 0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:34.400 bond dine along the coast to top of eighteen. Tomorrow 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:38.760 is sunny day again nineteen. Brisbane today partly cloudy, a 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:41.880 medium chance of showers, most likely late morning and early 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:45.880 afternoon in the city twenty two Airport twenty two. I's 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:49.560 which twenty three Sunny Coast, twenty two Gold Coast twenty 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:53.080 three Tomorrow in Brisbane A shower or two and it 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:56.800 should get to twenty three degrees. Now, so much to 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:59.800 tell you about today. Let's start in the Middle East. 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:05.560 The New York Times reporting the President Trump has dismissed 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:09.600 a European diplomatic effort seeking to keep the war between 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:13.799 Israel and Iran from spiraling into a broader conflict. He 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:17.720 told reporters Iran didn't want to speak to Europe. They 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:22.359 want to speak to US. As Israel and Iran pummeled 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:25.480 each other with their strikes and missile attacks for the 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:29.919 eighth consecutive day, representatives of Iran and Europe held three 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:33.400 hours of talks in Geneva that ended with no signs 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:37.240 of a breakthrough. The foreign ministers of Britain, France, and 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:41.520 Germany emerged discussing the need to continue speaking with Iran, 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:44.720 hoping the talks will offer an off ramp for Iran 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:49.880 and forestall a decision by Trump to thrust the US 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:53.880 into hostilities now, a day after backing away from threats 0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:56.960 that raised the specter of an imminent US strike and 0:03:57.040 --> 0:04:01.520 creating a two week window for diplomacy, Trump said he 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:04.720 still wanted to be a peacemaker, but he suggested that 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:08.600 only direct talks between the US and Iran would produce 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:11.400 a way out of the war. He said, Europe is 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:14.920 not going to be able to help now. The Europeans 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:17.920 urged Iran to resume direct nuclear talks with the US, 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:24.640 but Iran's top diplomat, Abbess Arakchi, said Iran would consider 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:30.000 re engaging in diplomacy only quote once the aggressor was 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:34.160 held accountable for the crimes committed unquote. Trump suggested there 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:36.040 was little he could do to get Israel to stop 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:39.320 its bombing. He said, Israel's doing well in terms of war. 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:42.120 I think he'd had to say Iran is doing less well. 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.760 It's a little hard to get someone to stop. Now. 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:49.320 In the second hour, we'll go to Israel and I'll 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:52.800 speak to someone there. Police updates this morning in Queensland, 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:55.680 an eighteen year old man has been charged to one 0:04:55.720 --> 0:05:00.039 man who's in hospital. This follows a brawl at a 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:05.200 Autitude Valley pub early today now. Emergency services were called 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:08.799 on the corner of Brunswick and Robertson Streets around twelve 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:12.080 to thirty five am reports of a fight involving a 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:15.520 large group of people. It'll be alleged an eighteen year 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:19.160 old man armed himself with a piece of furniture and 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:23.240 assaulted multiple people following an argument. A man in his 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:27.440 thirties taken to Royal Brisbane Women's Hospital a serious but 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:32.240 stable condition. An eighteen year old Churmside Westman taken into custody, 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:36.880 charged with three counts of assaults occasioning bodily harm whilst 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:41.279 armed in company and one count of refray. He'll be 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:45.599 at Brisbane Magistrate's Court on July thirty one. Anyone who 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:49.000 witnessed the incident, Police would like to hear from you now. 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:52.320 This happened like yesterday. At Lismore in New South Wales, 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:54.479 the driver of a truck has died in a single 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:59.120 vehicle crash. Reports that a truck had veered off Bangalow 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:04.880 Road at Kloon's, fifteen kilometers northeast of Lismore into a tree. 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:08.560 Paramedics treated the forty six year old mail driver, but 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:11.799 sadly he died at the scene. How about this one? 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:17.120 Five senior New South Wales government staffers could face arrest 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:21.400 after failing to appear at an inquiry into an explosive 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:26.200 laden caravan found on Sydney's outskirts. Remember this now in 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:31.320 a dramatic escalation of an otherwise routine inquiry. The process 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:35.239 to arrest high ranking staff and the officers of Premier 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:39.320 Chris Mins and Police Minister Catley was set in motion 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:44.360 yesterday after the group declined to appear, The committee chair 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:48.240 and Independent MP rod Roberts conducted a role calls for 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:52.280 the Premier's chief of Staff James Cullen and four other staffers, 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:57.160 before approaching Upper House President Ben Franklin to seek arrest warrants. 0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:01.839 Roberts said the President was noncommit when asked to go 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:05.080 to the Supreme Court for the warrants, but Franklin had 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:11.040 a quote very important and very crucial decision unquote. He says, 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:15.640 all along labors tried to stonewall, delay and ridicule this 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:21.200 important inquiry. Those words from John Ruddick agreeing to pursue 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:24.760 the warrants could come with a personal awkwardness for Franklin, 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:28.880 given he's a godfather of the premier's second child, or 0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:32.720 who cares if they've done the wrong thing and that 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:37.600 leads to arrest warrants. Hello, for the rest of society, 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:40.760 we can from what I understand, we're not in a 0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:44.680 position where we can say I don't want to turn up, well, 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:47.400 I don't want to be there. I mean, if you're 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:51.400 compelled to go, you should go. Well see where all 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:56.560 that goes? Extraordinary, isn't it? How about this one today? Extraordinary? 0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:00.120 Have I said that enough yet? Let me say it again. Extraordinary. 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:04.120 Patients are waiting up to a year up to a 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:09.400 year to receive a cancer diagnosis at Sydney Hospitals. At 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:12.520 least twenty one patients have had to wait up to 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:16.000 three hundred and sixty three days due to massive demand 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:20.240 for endoscopies at Westmead. This is a letter that was 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:24.720 sent to the hospital management late last week. The letter 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:27.960 warned these cases, which included a man in his sixties 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:33.839 diagnosed with esophageal cancer two hundred and fifty two days 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:39.960 after his first referral, were quote likely a significant underestimation 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:44.120 of the problem unquote, because thousands of patients were waiting 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:48.000 longer than recommended for the procedure. There were just over 0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:53.000 thirty three hundred patients on the endoscopy waitlisted Westmead as 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:56.800 of last month, abid half of which were Category one 0:08:56.920 --> 0:09:02.439 cases needing the procedure within thirty days. Now, about twenty 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:05.240 five hundred patients did not have a date for their procedure. 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:10.280 No patient had their cancer diagnosed within the thirty days 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:14.880 recommended by the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program, and many 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:18.400 exceeded the one hundred and twenty day maximum wade time 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:22.600 recommended by the Cancer Council, according to The Herald. The 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:27.439 letter says these significant delays are largely because Westmead has 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:33.560 significantly fewer anesthetic lists than equivalent sized peer hospitals. Now 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:38.000 we all remember not that long ago a bloke wanted 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:40.400 to be Prime Minister getting up on stage with a 0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:48.760 Medicare card. Hello, that's extraordinary, And this from Queensland. A 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:52.280 female journalist has spoken out about the hostility she faced 0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:58.280 while covering CFMU protests in Brisbane, where she was labeled 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:04.360 a media b. Channel seven reporter Georgia Chumbley was yelled 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:08.040 at by the union members who also threatened to disrupt 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:11.880 Brisbane's Olympic Games build during a second day of action 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:16.000 in Bowen Hills, Miss Chumbley told the ABC the verbal 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:19.040 abuse was shocking. She says they were yelling at us 0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:23.600 pretty much verbally abusing us, yelling at us, tell the truth, 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:27.480 Tell the truth. It was all female reporters there this morning. 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:30.920 We were surrounded by a majority grown men screaming in 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:34.840 this while we were trying to do our job. I 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.880 also got called an abusive term. I know another journalist 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:42.839 was sworn at. Things did really heat up. Now, given 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:46.800 us the the fundraising arm of the Labor Party, can 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:53.440 someone from the left call out this misogynistic behavior and 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:58.400 find out who was responsible and deal with them, maybe 0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:03.640 remove their membership. Well it's okay, it's a union protest, 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:07.679 is it. I mean it is breathtaking some of the 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:16.880 hypocrisy and here we go again. Senator Lydia Thorpe has 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:22.040 sparked controversy after sharing photos of herself standing outside Buckingham 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:28.120 Palace making a rude gesture. The Independent senator, who made 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:32.480 international headlines after gate crashing an event during the King's 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:35.120 visit to Australia and yelling you're not my King, was 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:38.960 in London this week to attend a conference why the 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:42.920 hell would you go to London. During her trip, she 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:46.439 donned a black Sovereign Movement shirt and was pictured outside 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:50.840 the gates of Buckingham Palace holding an Aboriginal flag, making 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:54.000 a rude gesture with her middle finger and standing with 0:11:54.080 --> 0:12:02.400 her hands on her hips. Goodness me, Senator Lydia Thorpe 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:08.080 brackets kindergarten student. What a thing to do? Ah, turn 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:11.679 up at the palace, flip the bird, wave the flag, 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:17.960 look at my unbelievable. On the show today, Dennis Shanahan 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.920 from The Oars joined me for the latest in federal politics. 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:23.680 Albo and the Trumpster will have to wait a little 0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:28.240 longer for that first handshake, after the PM's office indicated 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:31.880 that Albo won't attend the NATO meeting this week. What 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:34.559 should albou do? I mean, it's not like there's anything 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:40.760 happening with our alliance, tariffs orcus anyone. Maybe if he 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:45.439 had a decent ambassador on the ground, someone that didn't 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:49.040 refer to the US President as a village idiot, you know, 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:54.000 might have just got access. What an absolute mess, What 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:58.600 an absolute mess. We'll get to Dennis soon after ten 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:01.560 this morning. I'll talk to someone on the ground in Israel, 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:04.360 not far from Tel Aviv. Now, night after night, day 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:09.000 after day, bombs fired by the nuclear fixated Iranian regime 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:12.760 rained down on the city. Citizens are bunker down, listing 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:16.560 out for sirens warning of incoming bombs, and locked in 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:20.400 bunkers or shelters, hoping that they'll get out alive. So 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:22.480 I wanted to give you a peek behind the curtain 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:25.079 to what daily life currently looks like in Tel Aviv. 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:28.920 I've been chatting with an antimum and lawyer living in Israel, 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:33.560 Lisa Segalov, since just after October seven, twenty twenty three, 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:38.000 and I've been unceasingly amazed at her intelligence, of bravery 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:43.000 and her good humor amidst what's been an extraordinarily difficult 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:45.440 few years. We'll speak again this morning. Don't miss it 0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:50.280 economists from macrobusiness dot com, dot au and weekends regularly 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:53.520 Fan Onslan. He'll join me after eleven today. He'll walk 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:56.960 us through the latest population data. I was looking at 0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:59.280 those numbers yesterday. He might have heard me speak with 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:03.719 and Maynard on his program. And there's a bit of 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:07.600 a furfee. And the furfee is this, there's a bunch 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:11.839 of people leaving Australia for whatever reason, and we talk 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:16.439 about net overseas migration. The number improves the more people 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:19.800 that leave. Well, more people are leaving now. I thought 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:21.600 when we went to the last election we had an 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:25.200 undertaken from both major parties to reduce the number of 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:28.760 people coming here. Not because we're racist or we don't 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:33.120 subscribe to certain cultures or religions, not at all. It's 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:38.120 purely a matter of mathematics. So you bring in, let's say, 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:42.200 or you increase population by more than three hundred thousand, 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:45.320 which we did by the end of last year, and 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:49.080 you're only building one hundred and thirty thousand new homes. Again, 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:55.520 do the mathematics. It's just dumb. We'll do that with Leith. 0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:59.600 He's got an economic champion this week, two weeks in 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:04.120 a row. This is outstanding. We also have an economic clown, 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:06.040 but we've gone, you know, we give it up. We'll 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:07.840 leave it up to him pick a champion or a 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:12.440 clown second champion. It's a US energy expert who testified 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:16.920 before Congress. Is written for the Wall Street Journal, dropping 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:20.960 truth bombs on Australia's net zero fantasy. He described it 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:24.800 as madness and reckless. Ask a trade this morning with 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:28.120 Simon Stevenson at ten thirty love it. When Simon's in here, 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:30.760 we'll talk about window tinting your home. Can you make 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:32.800 a real difference to your homes temperature with a bit 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:35.800 of tinting? And do you need a trade to do it? 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:39.400 Or can you doy window tint I reckon, if I 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:42.760 had a crack of that, I'd have I'd tint my arms, 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:45.720 my hands, my face, my hair. There'd be a little 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:49.080 bit on the window. Hopeless of that stuff. We'll talk 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:51.680 to Simon after ten thirty. We'll take your DIY calls 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:54.760 as well. Craig Bennetting Star Strugg looks at the life 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:57.680 of Judy Garland, who we lost fifty six years ago. 0:15:57.720 --> 0:16:01.000 This weekend Alice stoles from them with a deep dive 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:04.000 into the real estate markets of Brisbane and Sydney. Of course, 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:07.640 I quiz your calls, texts, emails, all the breaking, use 0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:10.200 all the information to help you get around in town 0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:15.520 with a minimum of fuss. It's Saturday, June twenty one, 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:19.000 nine degrees in Sydney. They say it feels like five 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:24.120 fifteen degrees. In Brisbane, they say that feels like fifteen. 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:28.160 This is Weekends with Luke Grant on two GBN four 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:36.880 BC and Dennis Lee. He's got his eye on the 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:40.440 traffic today now plenty of texts this morning. Thank you, 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:43.160 Steve says good. I look, how does someone determine what 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:46.280 the temperature feels like? Does someone stick their head out 0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:49.800 the window and say feels like five when it's actually eight? Well, 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:53.440 I think it's a combination of wind and humidity. I 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:55.600 don't know if someone licks their finger and holds that 0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:58.920 outside and oh my finger's cold, but that's how they 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:03.760 work it out, Sieve. I think it's a humidity and wind. Good. Hey, 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:05.840 Luke love the show. Are we building one hundred and 0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:08.280 thirty thousand new homes a year or are we knocking 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:11.960 down one hundred thousand and replacing them with new so 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:14.680 we aren't building many new homes as such, Peter, that's 0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:18.040 not an unfair point. Thank you for making it good, 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:21.919 Luke read Lydia Thorpe, this is from Molina. Is that 0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:25.080 how you represent Australia and Australian's politicians that do the 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:28.760 wrong thing by our country and people. Assies should have 0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:31.880 her sacked or you get elected as a Green then 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:35.560 you carry on like a well, let's call it a 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:38.840 two bob watch. Then you leave that party and then 0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:42.280 you get six years at whatever, many hundreds of thousands 0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:45.879 of dollars. Thank you. Molina Dave says Lydia needs to 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:51.920 be thor petered out of Parliament. To Shay, Luke, isn't 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:57.159 Lydia Thorpe seventy percent Scottish? I don't know, I don't know. 0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:03.000 And if she is, what seventy percent of her is Scottish? Luke, 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:07.560 Lydia on business class five star hotels. We're all paying 0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:12.680 for it. Yeah, thank you, Steve. I wonder if she'll 0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:17.320 meet and negotiate the return of the settlers. Thank you. 0:18:18.119 --> 0:18:20.119 Good morning, Luke. Love the show on the weekend. On 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:22.879 my drive to Sydney from the Hunt of Valley, we 0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:25.199 paid Lydia Thorpe over two hundred grand a year to 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:29.800 sprout that rubbish. You should be immediately removed from parliament. 0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:32.159 Ashley from the Hunter of Valley, have a great morning 0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:35.120 you too, Ashally. Thanks a lot for listening to our show. 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:38.040 And if you're wondering why we're talking about Lydia Thorpe, 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:41.240 it's because Lydia Thorpe has gone out the front of 0:18:41.320 --> 0:18:46.440 Buckingham Palace, holding the Aboriginal flag and flipping the bird, 0:18:47.080 --> 0:18:50.199 thinking that that was one of the great things an 0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:53.959 Australian politician can do. I assume there are people she represents. 0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:57.280 Perhaps Lydia should just come home and represent the people, 0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:00.440 but as we know, it's all too often about her 0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:03.720 and just quickly here. A teenage boy was found with 0:19:03.800 --> 0:19:06.719 serious leg injuries in the early hours of this morning 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:10.320 following an alleged hit and run in Sydney's East. This 0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:13.560 was is a Beecham Road or bow Champ Road. It 0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:17.720 depends where you're brought up. I guess Marubra. Around four 0:19:17.800 --> 0:19:20.800 am reports a person who had been hit by a car. 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:24.240 Police rushed to the scene found a teenage boy believed 0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:28.200 to be sixteen, with serious leg injuries. It was treated 0:19:28.680 --> 0:19:34.880 by paramedics taken to Sydney Children's Hospital. A crime scene's 0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:38.439 been established. Police will remain on the scene, canvassing the 0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:43.240 area for evidence if you can assist one eight hundred, 0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:46.479 triple three, triple zero. It appears several pieces of evidence 0:19:46.520 --> 0:19:50.760 have been left behind, including items of clothing and empty 0:19:50.840 --> 0:19:53.399 beer bottles. While the entrance to a unit block has 0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:57.440 been taped off by police. It says he tapped off 0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:01.600 one eight hundred triple three triple zero Prime Minister the 0:20:01.640 --> 0:20:10.159 Labor Party Ventral politics with Dennis Shanahan. And sadly, Dennis 0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:12.320 and I will be talking for the last time for 0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:15.600 quite a few weeks because I'm about to have a 0:20:15.600 --> 0:20:18.920 bit of a break he pooh. And Dennis is having 0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:23.040 his regular winter break, and when I come back, he 0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:26.199 won't be here. But when he does come back, I 0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:29.160 will be here, but that might be a few weeks off. 0:20:29.480 --> 0:20:32.320 So good morning, my friend. I look forward to resuming 0:20:33.119 --> 0:20:36.040 activities in a few weeks. In the meantime, How is 0:20:36.080 --> 0:20:38.720 it in the Nation's capital? I think I read it 0:20:38.760 --> 0:20:41.040 was minus seven point six earlier today. 0:20:42.080 --> 0:20:45.240 Yeah, look at I tell you though, the weather is 0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:48.240 beautifully that there's no wind. You know you talk about 0:20:48.280 --> 0:20:52.080 windchill factor and no wind at all. It is just 0:20:52.440 --> 0:20:55.240 perfectly sunny, clear. 0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:56.280 But it is cold. 0:20:56.720 --> 0:20:59.200 This morning, as I was preparing for my little chat 0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:04.600 with you, I washed a big pied turrelong come in. 0:21:04.960 --> 0:21:07.840 He comes in every day to land on the on 0:21:07.920 --> 0:21:10.040 the bird bath, have a drink and a bit of 0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:11.840 a bath, and then he flies off. This morning he 0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:15.320 went down and slipped straight across. 0:21:15.000 --> 0:21:17.720 The board, fell off the other side. 0:21:17.880 --> 0:21:18.879 It was solid ice. 0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:22.200 I've never seen a turrelong with surprised look on his face. 0:21:24.359 --> 0:21:27.440 It was col The bird bath is solid ice. 0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:31.440 Wow. Fancy that now, Dennis A PM's trip to Canada 0:21:31.600 --> 0:21:35.040 is over and ended with a whimper as Donald Trump 0:21:35.320 --> 0:21:38.080 ducked out of the G seven and didn't even give 0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:43.080 Albow a sorry, I can't make it. There's no rush 0:21:43.080 --> 0:21:46.000 to NATO. In fact, I think that's been ruled out now, 0:21:46.400 --> 0:21:49.880 little prospect of a face to face meeting for some time. 0:21:49.920 --> 0:21:52.400 As I joke before, it's not like there's, you know, 0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:57.480 anything significant happening with our relationship potentially not if you 0:21:57.560 --> 0:22:01.960 count orcus and tariffs as things that a serious. What's 0:22:02.000 --> 0:22:02.760 going on here? 0:22:03.600 --> 0:22:07.320 Well, look I think that, yes, Donald Trump left the 0:22:07.640 --> 0:22:12.320 seventh early. He didn't meet a number of other leaders, 0:22:12.480 --> 0:22:16.439 but Anthony Alberinase he was listed as the second last 0:22:16.600 --> 0:22:19.399 on the agenda. I don't know if actually who was last. 0:22:20.400 --> 0:22:23.320 When Donald Trump said I'm leaving early, he rang other 0:22:23.440 --> 0:22:25.880 leaders and said, oh, look I'm sorry, we can meet 0:22:25.920 --> 0:22:26.280 up later. 0:22:26.400 --> 0:22:26.760 Whatever. 0:22:27.640 --> 0:22:31.320 Anthony Albinas didn't even get a call, and so what 0:22:31.359 --> 0:22:36.280 we're seeing is that the failure of Anthony Albinas to 0:22:36.400 --> 0:22:42.520 try and establish an early relationship with Donald Trump, despite 0:22:42.560 --> 0:22:46.359 the political differences and all the rest. The Prime Minister 0:22:46.480 --> 0:22:49.800 said on another a number of occasions, doesn't matter who's president, 0:22:49.800 --> 0:22:54.000 who's promenist, we need this relationship. Well it's not happening. 0:22:54.480 --> 0:22:58.000 The Prime Minister had gone to Canada with a whole 0:22:58.160 --> 0:23:01.960 series of ideas about critical minerals that were going to 0:23:02.160 --> 0:23:05.200 use as a bargaining chip to get lower tariffs. There 0:23:05.280 --> 0:23:07.399 was going to be discussion of ORCUS while there was 0:23:07.440 --> 0:23:12.000 a review on in the US, and nothing happened. The 0:23:12.000 --> 0:23:14.960 Prime Minister met some trade officials that Kevin rad as 0:23:15.040 --> 0:23:19.639 Ambassador to Washington, had already met. So what we've seen 0:23:19.960 --> 0:23:23.959 is a failure early on for the Prime Minister to 0:23:23.960 --> 0:23:30.240 try and establish that key personal contact with President Trump. 0:23:30.960 --> 0:23:33.480 He did consider going to the Netherlands to get the 0:23:33.560 --> 0:23:37.919 NATO meeting on the off chance of getting a sideline meeting, 0:23:38.280 --> 0:23:40.840 but in the end has decided no, he's not going 0:23:40.880 --> 0:23:44.040 to do that. The likelihood is that he was good 0:23:44.080 --> 0:23:47.000 go over there, not going to meeting anyway. So this 0:23:47.080 --> 0:23:50.159 has been a failure as far as a trip goes 0:23:50.480 --> 0:23:54.320 where the Prime Minister had hoped to meet and discuss 0:23:54.680 --> 0:24:00.040 and negotiate issues of tariffs, which are still very I 0:24:00.119 --> 0:24:04.280 boughtant for US and of course UCAS to try and 0:24:04.400 --> 0:24:08.880 talk to the President about August before the US review 0:24:09.119 --> 0:24:13.800 is completed. Now looks like there'll be no meeting until 0:24:14.240 --> 0:24:17.440 probably New York in September. 0:24:17.760 --> 0:24:21.960 At the UN Joe Hockey as a massive to play 0:24:22.040 --> 0:24:25.159 golf with Trump. Kevin Rudd referred to him as a 0:24:25.200 --> 0:24:28.280 really jdiot. Can you can you shoot any of the 0:24:28.320 --> 0:24:30.919 blame to Kevin Rudd? I mean, they're not going to 0:24:30.960 --> 0:24:32.200 take him seriously, are they? 0:24:33.440 --> 0:24:37.720 Look I think that actually Kevin Rudd's done quite a 0:24:37.720 --> 0:24:41.119 good job as far as ambassad on the ground's concerns 0:24:41.200 --> 0:24:46.280 is kept open. All the negotiations on tariff almost escaped 0:24:47.600 --> 0:24:51.119 the full brunt of tariff. But there was a political 0:24:51.720 --> 0:24:56.800 interference there. Certainly what Kevin Rudd had said previously about 0:24:57.200 --> 0:25:01.280 President Trump wouldn't help. But look, the the issue here 0:25:01.560 --> 0:25:05.600 is about leaders face to face and that relationship. This 0:25:05.680 --> 0:25:10.080 is what Donald Trump operates on. And we saw the 0:25:10.240 --> 0:25:14.880 success of their care starmer, a UK prime minister who 0:25:15.160 --> 0:25:20.320 went early to see Donald Trump and put up the 0:25:20.440 --> 0:25:25.520 UK spending on defense very quickly. It is clear that 0:25:25.960 --> 0:25:29.840 Donald Trump talks to people who are prepared to talk 0:25:29.880 --> 0:25:31.399 to him and act. 0:25:32.320 --> 0:25:36.360 You know, I reckon the PM's office would be, wouldn't 0:25:36.359 --> 0:25:40.600 they very concerned that if he went to Washington there 0:25:40.600 --> 0:25:42.879 would be a you know what show if the meeting 0:25:42.960 --> 0:25:46.760 was in the Oval office. It's not like Trump has 0:25:46.960 --> 0:25:50.120 spared any other leader from embarrassing them or at least 0:25:50.119 --> 0:25:53.040 calling them out. There's no doubt in my mind that 0:25:53.119 --> 0:25:57.760 if Albo and the Trumpster sat together and the cameras 0:25:57.760 --> 0:26:02.840 were rolling, Trump would have some difficult questions, wouldn't. 0:26:02.480 --> 0:26:07.399 He He would indeed, And look I've mentioned before on 0:26:07.440 --> 0:26:11.000 the program. I've been there in that room. It was 0:26:11.240 --> 0:26:14.520 Scott Morrison, who is Prime Minister, and Donald Trump and 0:26:15.040 --> 0:26:17.719 that was very warm and friendly and a little bit 0:26:17.760 --> 0:26:20.520 off a wall. But in any case, there would be 0:26:20.600 --> 0:26:23.679 no doubt that a trip to Washington would have to 0:26:23.800 --> 0:26:27.920 mean that appearance in what is now become a star 0:26:28.040 --> 0:26:32.120 chamber where the Prime the President is prepared to rip 0:26:32.240 --> 0:26:36.000 strips off people, so is the Vice president, and it 0:26:36.080 --> 0:26:39.359 would be extremely embarrassing. The advantage of a so called 0:26:39.400 --> 0:26:43.600 meeting in the sidelines is that it's not televised and 0:26:43.640 --> 0:26:49.000 there isn't that whole feeling of being interrogated. I think 0:26:49.040 --> 0:26:54.360 that the Prime Minister would prefer to go to New 0:26:54.440 --> 0:26:58.800 York and meet President Trump again in the sidelines of 0:26:58.880 --> 0:26:59.560 the UN meeting. 0:27:00.040 --> 0:27:03.000 What about orcus mate? There's concern here, isn't there? The 0:27:03.119 --> 0:27:07.520 US wanted us to spend more on our defense. Richard 0:27:07.520 --> 0:27:09.840 Miles is going to have to come up with more 0:27:09.880 --> 0:27:11.040 than just words here, isn't he? 0:27:12.000 --> 0:27:12.760 We certainly is. 0:27:12.800 --> 0:27:16.960 And of course, apart from tariff which went nowhere, UCUS 0:27:17.119 --> 0:27:20.560 was the other big issue that Australia had to address 0:27:20.680 --> 0:27:26.280 with President Trump in Canada. That didn't happen, and now 0:27:26.320 --> 0:27:29.240 it is clear that the Prime Minister has made it 0:27:29.280 --> 0:27:32.920 clear he is not going to the Netherlands. They thought 0:27:32.960 --> 0:27:35.600 about it and then thought, no, we wouldn't do it. 0:27:36.000 --> 0:27:39.320 This means that Richard Miles, as Deputy Prime Minister and 0:27:39.400 --> 0:27:44.200 Defense Minister, has to go to the NATO meeting and 0:27:44.640 --> 0:27:52.000 there defend Australia's decision not to increase defense spending to 0:27:52.119 --> 0:27:56.120 three point five percent, which the US wants us to do. 0:27:56.480 --> 0:27:59.560 That's much less than what the US wants our NATO 0:28:00.240 --> 0:28:04.080 allies to He wants them to go to five percent 0:28:04.160 --> 0:28:07.639 of GDP on defense. We can see what's happening in Israel, 0:28:07.720 --> 0:28:10.359 we can see what's happening in the Ukraine. There is 0:28:10.400 --> 0:28:16.800 a worldwide pressure pressure to actually increase defense spending. It's 0:28:16.840 --> 0:28:19.560 not happening in Australia. Richard Mars is going to have 0:28:19.600 --> 0:28:22.439 to try and explain this to the US. The Prime 0:28:22.480 --> 0:28:24.960 Minister has not been able to talk to Donald Trump 0:28:25.440 --> 0:28:28.880 while and we've already paid eight hundred million dollars by 0:28:28.920 --> 0:28:33.240 the way, on the nuclear submarines, and we can't even 0:28:33.320 --> 0:28:36.840 get to talk about it while the US is reviewing it. 0:28:36.960 --> 0:28:41.000 Our only hope has been a starmer of the UK 0:28:41.560 --> 0:28:46.560 who managed to get the present to nod to nod 0:28:47.240 --> 0:28:49.960 at the joint press conference when he said yes, that 0:28:50.120 --> 0:28:53.600 was still going ed with August. This is how tenuous 0:28:53.640 --> 0:28:56.440 it is. It is a key issue, and as we 0:28:56.560 --> 0:29:00.600 discussed last week, the Australian government, the current own government, 0:29:00.800 --> 0:29:07.440 still refuses to put forward a very strong justification to 0:29:07.520 --> 0:29:11.600 the Aucust project, and it looks as if somehow it's 0:29:11.720 --> 0:29:13.160 actually not committed to it. 0:29:13.400 --> 0:29:15.960 Yeah, all right, Dennis, So we'll take a break before 0:29:15.960 --> 0:29:18.960 we do. Elizabeth has called through from Brisbane with a 0:29:19.320 --> 0:29:21.760 traffic drama. Elizabeth, thank you for this. What can you 0:29:21.800 --> 0:29:22.080 tell me? 0:29:23.560 --> 0:29:27.000 There's a like a car's gone into a real estate 0:29:27.160 --> 0:29:33.200 on Logan Road at Mancrovit and and there's a car 0:29:33.400 --> 0:29:38.160 behind it smashed as well, and tree lanes are blocked 0:29:38.160 --> 0:29:39.400 all the way to Garden City. 0:29:40.160 --> 0:29:43.040 And do we have emergency services on the scene, Elizabeth, 0:29:43.720 --> 0:29:46.880 there is, yes, there is, Okay, Am I right in 0:29:47.000 --> 0:29:50.000 saying this is a corner of Logan Road and Selborne Street. 0:29:51.040 --> 0:29:51.760 That's the one. 0:29:52.040 --> 0:29:55.760 Okay, Thank you so much for calling and allowing us 0:29:55.760 --> 0:29:59.120 to share that news with people on the roads in Brisbane. 0:29:59.200 --> 0:30:02.000 Thanks Elizabeth A. Carr and theer A real estate agency 0:30:02.040 --> 0:30:04.800 blocked the corner of Logan Road in Silborne Street at 0:30:04.840 --> 0:30:07.240 Mount Gravat back in a moment. It's a quarter to 0:30:07.360 --> 0:30:11.840 ten and we're of course Dennis Shanahan Dennis Jim Chalmers 0:30:11.840 --> 0:30:15.600 has considered the budget is unsustainable, promised not to shoot 0:30:15.680 --> 0:30:19.480 down any ideas on tax reform, as the Productivity Commission 0:30:19.520 --> 0:30:23.880 suggests changes to the GST would help. I don't know 0:30:23.880 --> 0:30:25.800 if he's open to every suggestion, do you. 0:30:26.960 --> 0:30:32.560 No, he's not. Look, it was a very important speek. 0:30:32.600 --> 0:30:36.080 Squy the Treasurer at the Press Club in Cambera this week. 0:30:36.920 --> 0:30:40.840 While all the concentration was on what the Prime Minister 0:30:41.000 --> 0:30:46.840 was doing Israel and Ukraine and all the other defense issues, 0:30:47.360 --> 0:30:52.160 the economy continues to be a grave concern and the 0:30:52.480 --> 0:30:57.120 treasure of this week actually said without change, the budget 0:30:57.160 --> 0:30:58.160 is unsustainable. 0:30:58.200 --> 0:31:01.200 Now, this would have been nice to have heard about 0:31:01.240 --> 0:31:02.600 a little while earlier. 0:31:03.120 --> 0:31:06.560 You and I have been talking about productivity for as 0:31:06.560 --> 0:31:08.479 long as we've been on the show to get us 0:31:08.960 --> 0:31:12.200 and of course it is the big issue. The treasure 0:31:12.240 --> 0:31:14.120 has now come out and said, yes, it is the 0:31:14.120 --> 0:31:17.560 big issue. That's why the budget's not sustainable. We have 0:31:17.640 --> 0:31:21.800 to have tax reform and we have to actually increase productivity. 0:31:22.240 --> 0:31:24.440 Now how he goes about that is going to be 0:31:24.520 --> 0:31:29.680 the big issue. And can he continue to try and 0:31:29.920 --> 0:31:35.240 lift productivity while continuing to spend government spending is getting 0:31:35.240 --> 0:31:39.560 out of control and can he do it without introducing 0:31:39.680 --> 0:31:44.600 new taxes? Now, the Productivity Commission Commissioner has said today 0:31:44.600 --> 0:31:47.800 in Australian well, look we could look at the GST, 0:31:48.560 --> 0:31:52.400 actually increasing the GST and increasing the coverage of the 0:31:52.440 --> 0:31:56.680 GST as well as how we distribute it to the states. 0:31:56.960 --> 0:32:00.320 So this is a big issue. The Productivity Commission said 0:32:00.360 --> 0:32:05.040 we should look at The Treasurer also said, oh, look, 0:32:05.160 --> 0:32:11.520 he was going to stand by the tax, the capital 0:32:11.520 --> 0:32:16.400 gains tax on unrealized capital gains tax for people with superannulation, 0:32:18.280 --> 0:32:20.800 and that he said, no, no, we're not going to 0:32:20.800 --> 0:32:21.280 touch that. 0:32:21.560 --> 0:32:22.920 This is the idea that I hear. 0:32:22.960 --> 0:32:26.920 All things are on the table. He also, though obviously 0:32:27.120 --> 0:32:31.360 concerned about the fact that people are arguing that this 0:32:31.560 --> 0:32:36.360 unrealized superannuation tax, which is not indexed, will over ten 0:32:36.480 --> 0:32:41.680 years increase its grad to eight billion dollars as one 0:32:41.800 --> 0:32:47.120 estimate from today. And what we've seen already is fears 0:32:47.240 --> 0:32:50.480 that the capital gains tax could be applied to a 0:32:50.520 --> 0:32:54.480 family home or some inheritance tax. Now Jim Chalmers has 0:32:54.480 --> 0:32:56.840 said no, we're not going to touch a family home. 0:32:57.360 --> 0:32:59.960 We're not going to touch in inheritance or death tax. 0:33:00.560 --> 0:33:04.520 But he's leaving open the whole idea of family trusts 0:33:05.000 --> 0:33:11.880 and the continuing pressure on superannuation funds. At the moment, 0:33:11.960 --> 0:33:15.200 over three million is when you start paying the tax 0:33:15.280 --> 0:33:19.120 on unrealized capital gains and that that will just grow. 0:33:19.520 --> 0:33:22.440 So what we're seeing, on the one hand, the treasure 0:33:22.560 --> 0:33:26.120 is saying and trying to make a very bold statement, 0:33:26.280 --> 0:33:28.840 and it's about time somebody did it, to say that 0:33:29.080 --> 0:33:33.720 debt is deficit and lack of productivity means the budget 0:33:33.760 --> 0:33:37.960 is unsustainable. We're facing a decade of deficits. He says, 0:33:37.960 --> 0:33:40.680 something has to be done. He try and pull together 0:33:40.760 --> 0:33:44.280 a group of business leaders and union leaders and so 0:33:44.320 --> 0:33:47.320 on to try and do something about productivity. But the 0:33:47.440 --> 0:33:51.000 issue remains that there are still no go zones as 0:33:51.000 --> 0:33:54.160 far as he is concerned, while others are saying you're 0:33:54.200 --> 0:33:57.680 going to have to do much more than just put 0:33:57.680 --> 0:34:01.680 a tax on unrealized capital gains for superannuation. I think 0:34:01.720 --> 0:34:07.800 the Treasurer has been courageous here at the courageous in 0:34:07.920 --> 0:34:12.040 opening up the issue. He has admitted it's not sustainable. 0:34:12.640 --> 0:34:15.480 But what is he going to do and what can 0:34:15.480 --> 0:34:19.279 he do? These are big issues for the economy and 0:34:19.760 --> 0:34:23.040 for the new the newly elected labor government. 0:34:23.239 --> 0:34:26.560 Yeah, and with those taxes, it's it's not work starts, 0:34:26.320 --> 0:34:30.120 it's it's where it finishes. And that's that's the real concern. 0:34:30.520 --> 0:34:34.319 Are you are you heading away to your weekender on 0:34:34.400 --> 0:34:35.520 the Mediterranean? 0:34:36.960 --> 0:34:40.760 Not just yet, but I will be away and I'm 0:34:40.880 --> 0:34:43.200 very sorry to hear that today is our last night 0:34:43.280 --> 0:34:47.040 on Chat for a while, but I'll be I'll be 0:34:47.080 --> 0:34:49.719 around for a bit long yet before I head off 0:34:50.080 --> 0:34:54.000 right to the Apennines and the Italian Alps. 0:34:54.120 --> 0:34:57.799 Yeah, you're lucky, lucky thing.

All you got to do 0:38:58.560 --> 0:39:01.640 is click on the feedback icon. Just some news through 0:39:01.680 --> 0:39:04.800 A man's been charged with allegedly trying to possess thirty 0:39:04.880 --> 0:39:09.759 kilograms of cocaine after a wild police raid. This is 0:39:09.800 --> 0:39:13.040 a double bay. A footage showed a forty year old 0:39:13.040 --> 0:39:16.760 man being escorted away from a home on Holt Street 0:39:17.560 --> 0:39:21.680 a double bay Friday afternoon by undercover police dressed up 0:39:21.680 --> 0:39:25.800 as tradees. He's since been charged with attempting to possess 0:39:25.840 --> 0:39:31.720 a commercial quantity of unlawfully imported border controlled drugs. Police 0:39:31.760 --> 0:39:35.560 will allegend court he was the intended recipient of thirty 0:39:35.600 --> 0:39:40.560 kilos of cocaine imported by a criminal criminal syndicate offshore, 0:39:41.640 --> 0:39:46.759 and had traveled to a quote unquote dead drop in 0:39:47.000 --> 0:39:50.000 Alexandria on Friday to collect what he believed to be 0:39:50.040 --> 0:39:54.080 the drugs. Dead drops are a secret location where items 0:39:54.080 --> 0:39:57.640 such as cash and illicit drugs are left for other 0:39:57.760 --> 0:40:02.920 people to collect. The police had intercepted the delivery and 0:40:03.000 --> 0:40:07.840 replaced the alleged cocaine with an inert substance, according to 0:40:07.880 --> 0:40:12.840 the AFP. The AFP will allege the man removed a 0:40:12.880 --> 0:40:16.920 sports bar containing the thirty kilos of the substitute material 0:40:17.600 --> 0:40:20.920 and then returned to his home in Double Bay. Wild 0:40:20.960 --> 0:40:26.200 footage has shown undercover officers raiding the multi million dollar home. 0:40:26.840 --> 0:40:29.440 Number of cars pulled up on a hurry. Bunch of 0:40:30.040 --> 0:40:33.640 undercover cops dressed as trade's jumped out. A neighbors said 0:40:34.560 --> 0:40:37.680 some crew and substantial gear were basically just belting on 0:40:37.719 --> 0:40:41.600 the door, ramming it trying to get access. As his 0:40:41.680 --> 0:40:44.520 situation developed, the neighbors said the street became a hub 0:40:44.520 --> 0:40:48.080 of police activity. Sounds like one of those cop shows, 0:40:48.120 --> 0:40:53.759 doesn't it. Anyway? They got their person. One three one 0:40:53.840 --> 0:40:57.960 eight seven three is the open line number.

There's a little village there, 0:42:24.680 --> 0:42:31.160 a motel, absolutely spot on beautiful, run by the Aboriginals. 0:42:31.560 --> 0:42:33.960 And also they gave us a speech in the middle 0:42:34.000 --> 0:42:38.359 of this football ground and they said the first thing 0:42:38.440 --> 0:42:41.080 he said, now, you don't do we don't do any 0:42:41.080 --> 0:42:45.279 of that's making. So that's something that oh well his 0:42:45.440 --> 0:42:48.520 name escapes me. Now that had the TV show does 0:42:48.560 --> 0:42:51.960 it on the TV only board that in a few you're. 0:42:51.800 --> 0:42:53.600 Talking about Ernie Ernie Dingo. 0:42:54.600 --> 0:42:57.359 Then he said, that's our flag, not the one that's 0:42:57.400 --> 0:43:00.560 hanging over the harbor bridge. There was a green flag 0:43:00.640 --> 0:43:03.200 if some sort it had a bit of age to it, okay, 0:43:03.520 --> 0:43:05.840 And I thought that with the Lydia thought one the 0:43:05.880 --> 0:43:08.160 other day. I thought, you know, I couldn't do anything 0:43:08.200 --> 0:43:11.240 but recommend this place for people to go. There's toores 0:43:11.320 --> 0:43:13.680 out of there and that's unbelievable. 0:43:13.920 --> 0:43:16.440 So it's called Willpina. 0:43:17.960 --> 0:43:19.080 The way things really are. 0:43:19.760 --> 0:43:25.200 So what's it called will Pena Now, yeah, Colin, can't 0:43:25.200 --> 0:43:27.719 hear me, I heard you, mate, clear as a bell, 0:43:28.239 --> 0:43:31.239 but for some reason you couldn't hear me. I think 0:43:31.280 --> 0:43:32.839 it was Can we just check the name of that 0:43:32.920 --> 0:43:37.279 Will Peena. It is Willpina w I l pe n a. 0:43:37.960 --> 0:43:41.440 Thank you Colin, and thank you for listening. Stephanie, good morning. 0:43:41.680 --> 0:43:45.120 Good morning, Luke. It has been said Lerk that when 0:43:45.440 --> 0:43:50.080 factions dealing in fictions, if they do that, they will 0:43:50.120 --> 0:43:53.799 suffer from frictions and break into fractions. And thus it 0:43:53.960 --> 0:43:57.080 is with the Liberal Party, whether it's New South Wales 0:43:57.200 --> 0:44:02.480 or Victoria predominantly, and they so expertly have demonstrated, certainly 0:44:02.680 --> 0:44:05.759 from Victoria of the last day or so, how they 0:44:05.840 --> 0:44:09.320 can shoot themselves in one foot and then two feet 0:44:09.360 --> 0:44:12.760 and then blow their heads off. So with the issue 0:44:12.800 --> 0:44:18.959 down in Victoria, with pursuito, that very little dishonorable man, 0:44:19.080 --> 0:44:22.600 I must say, pursuito or the pursuito or ham of politics, 0:44:23.120 --> 0:44:28.080 Chaddie's bacon saved by the Liberal Party members who've kept 0:44:28.160 --> 0:44:31.200 in the money to get this man out of hock, 0:44:31.520 --> 0:44:34.720 the hock of his own doing, because he was found 0:44:34.760 --> 0:44:38.240 to have defamed a good and decent and honorable woman 0:44:39.040 --> 0:44:42.960 by portraying her as a Nazi sympathizer. Could anything worse 0:44:43.040 --> 0:44:47.880 be said about anybody? And yet this individual, this little 0:44:48.000 --> 0:44:52.640 pipsqueak of nobody, has refused to apologize to her, would 0:44:52.640 --> 0:44:56.720 not meet any of her very generous offers initially before 0:44:56.760 --> 0:45:00.440 they went to court, and has relied on his mates 0:45:00.560 --> 0:45:03.200 like Jeff Kennet and the rest of them to back 0:45:03.320 --> 0:45:05.799 him up, and they did to the hills. So if 0:45:05.840 --> 0:45:08.279 I were a Liberal Party member down in Victoria, I'd 0:45:08.320 --> 0:45:12.240 be pretty ropeable that my money was going to this man, 0:45:12.320 --> 0:45:17.960 this little individual, who wouldn't in the honorable way mortgage's 0:45:18.000 --> 0:45:20.640 house to get himself out of his own debt, but 0:45:20.800 --> 0:45:23.320 relies on other people to do it. So is it 0:45:23.440 --> 0:45:26.680 any wonder that the Liberal Party is breaking apart when 0:45:26.719 --> 0:45:31.080 you see this happened. They put that woman at PURSUITO 0:45:31.480 --> 0:45:33.759 and Kennett and the rest of the mob through two 0:45:33.920 --> 0:45:38.600 years of in tolerable stress, completely Laura Deeming and her family, 0:45:38.760 --> 0:45:43.600 and it is absolutely insupportable that the Liberal Party can 0:45:43.640 --> 0:45:47.319 exist under those conditions. So they're breaking into fractions. Then 0:45:47.400 --> 0:45:50.120 you look at New South Wales and there was a 0:45:50.640 --> 0:45:53.520 illustrating this brilliantly Warren Mundy and had a peace in 0:45:53.520 --> 0:45:56.040 the fin Review a couple of weeks ago, and he 0:45:56.200 --> 0:45:58.560 reminded that in it that he'd been in the Labor 0:45:58.600 --> 0:46:02.160 Party for decades, including as its national president, but then 0:46:02.280 --> 0:46:06.000 joined the Libs in something like twenty nineteen, and he said, 0:46:06.040 --> 0:46:08.280 while he was in the Labor Party, we all knew 0:46:08.320 --> 0:46:12.440 and everyone else did. The factional brawling there is absolutely brutal. 0:46:12.880 --> 0:46:16.959 But he said I never saw factions actively undermine each other, 0:46:17.640 --> 0:46:21.000 so the point of losing a seat or members portraying 0:46:21.040 --> 0:46:25.160 their own faction with no consequence, but said, I've seen 0:46:25.280 --> 0:46:28.880 and experienced both in the Liberal Party. And he tells 0:46:28.960 --> 0:46:33.480 us then about the relentless pursuit and undermining of federal leaders, 0:46:33.560 --> 0:46:37.040 the ill discipline, the distrust to the point of paranoia, 0:46:37.600 --> 0:46:41.279 and the liberate sabotage and sometimes just plaid in competence. 0:46:41.719 --> 0:46:44.879 You'll remember, I'm sure as everyone else will, but the 0:46:44.880 --> 0:46:48.200 Liberal Party executive New South Wales somehow a while back 0:46:48.239 --> 0:46:52.320 couldn't even organize the nomination paperwork for one hundred and forty 0:46:52.440 --> 0:46:56.640 endorsed car so call government. There are plenty who would 0:46:56.640 --> 0:47:01.239 say it wasn't just in competence carefully related to do that, 0:47:01.600 --> 0:47:05.279 so they couldn't get a Conservative candidate up there. He 0:47:05.440 --> 0:47:10.080 finishes his piece by saying that receptor quote screw up. 0:47:10.520 --> 0:47:15.200 Administrators were appointed and at least two federal elections now 0:47:15.719 --> 0:47:21.239 we've seen inexplicably delayed pre selections, well not inexplicable my view, 0:47:21.840 --> 0:47:25.640 and candidates selected or replaced at the last minute, so 0:47:25.760 --> 0:47:28.160 he said, and left the Liberal Party can stand up 0:47:28.160 --> 0:47:30.239 and have the courage to stand up for what you 0:47:30.320 --> 0:47:33.880 believe and take your authentic message to voters. Forget it, 0:47:33.960 --> 0:47:37.680 you're done and you're gone. And I would totally agree 0:47:37.719 --> 0:47:41.360 with that. You've got Susan lay now with the woke 0:47:42.880 --> 0:47:45.560 green left in the Liberal Party and just going back 0:47:45.560 --> 0:47:50.200 to Warren, they refused pre select this outstanding man and 0:47:50.360 --> 0:47:54.360 put their preferred woke green left woman Gisel something or 0:47:54.400 --> 0:47:57.719 another in there, and the same they did the same 0:47:57.760 --> 0:48:01.600 thing to Jim Moland. That extraordinary to see Liberal Party. Well, 0:48:01.640 --> 0:48:04.759 it entered the Liberal and if they think the Conservatives 0:48:04.800 --> 0:48:08.120 are coming back to vote for you ever again, then 0:48:08.320 --> 0:48:11.080 you know you've blown your head off. No brains, you 0:48:11.080 --> 0:48:13.200 can't think you don't know what you're doing, but you're 0:48:13.360 --> 0:48:16.840 just a hears rabbel and pursuito. You are the prime 0:48:16.920 --> 0:48:19.320 example of what is wrong with the Liberal Party. 0:48:19.480 --> 0:48:22.879 Yeah, yeah, look and look beautiful youth. I've got to say, 0:48:22.880 --> 0:48:26.799 Stephanie of hock pursuto' ham and Bacon, You're on a roll. 0:48:26.840 --> 0:48:30.080 I was wondering what cut was coming next. I couldn't 0:48:30.120 --> 0:48:32.319 agree with you more. I could not agree with you more. 0:48:32.360 --> 0:48:36.080 And I've got plenty of grief about referring to the 0:48:36.120 --> 0:48:38.320 Liberal Party of New South Wales as the clown show. 0:48:38.840 --> 0:48:44.640 And as Stephanie says, it is a factions lead to fractions, 0:48:45.760 --> 0:48:50.439 brilliant words. Not even a third of Australians could bring 0:48:50.480 --> 0:48:54.400 themselves to put the Liberal Party first on a ballot paper. 0:48:55.160 --> 0:48:59.799 After winning so many of the previous elections federally, they 0:48:59.800 --> 0:49:04.920 have almost not quite almost become irrelevant. There's a lot 0:49:04.960 --> 0:49:08.840 of work to do and whether they can win people 0:49:08.920 --> 0:49:12.480 back is still very much up in the air. Great call, Stephanie. 0:49:12.560 --> 0:49:15.919 Love it to chat to you. It's eighteen after ten. 0:49:16.400 --> 0:49:19.080 This is Weekends with Luke Grant. Thank you for your company. 0:49:19.120 --> 0:49:21.600 I want to get to Israel now and just near 0:49:21.600 --> 0:49:24.160 the city of Tel Aviv now. As you know, Tel 0:49:24.200 --> 0:49:27.480 Aviv can be one of the safest and most picturetque 0:49:27.480 --> 0:49:31.080 spots in the Middle East, renowned for its vibrancy, modernity 0:49:31.120 --> 0:49:34.040 and coastal charm, but now, of course, residents are living 0:49:34.040 --> 0:49:37.480 in fear. Night after night, bombs fired by the nuclear 0:49:37.520 --> 0:49:41.880 fixated Iranian regime rained down on the city. Now you 0:49:41.960 --> 0:49:44.480 might know for some time, I've been chatting with an 0:49:44.520 --> 0:49:48.840 Aussie mum and lawyer living in Israel, Lisa Segalov, since 0:49:48.960 --> 0:49:52.120 just after October seven, twenty twenty three, and I've been 0:49:52.200 --> 0:49:55.759 unceasingly amazed at her intelligence, of bravery and her good 0:49:55.840 --> 0:50:00.279 humor amidst what's been a very difficult few years. Find 0:50:00.320 --> 0:50:02.640 out what life looks like in Tel Aviv or need 0:50:02.680 --> 0:50:05.520 to it right now, I'm delighted to say that Lisa 0:50:05.640 --> 0:50:08.799 Segalov is on the line. Lisa, thank you for your time. 0:50:08.960 --> 0:50:09.840 I hope you're okay. 0:50:10.480 --> 0:50:11.160 Thanks, Luke. 0:50:11.800 --> 0:50:15.400 Yeah, it's been pretty scary days, the last eight days 0:50:15.440 --> 0:50:16.360 of this fourth. 0:50:16.920 --> 0:50:18.920 So how close has the action been to you. 0:50:18.920 --> 0:50:24.400 Lisa, I It's relatively close. I live like thirty k's 0:50:24.440 --> 0:50:26.600 from Tel Aviv, and. 0:50:28.480 --> 0:50:31.000 Actually I worked in Tel Aviv. 0:50:31.480 --> 0:50:35.920 Yees today I received it was Thursday I received morning. 0:50:37.000 --> 0:50:40.160 I noticed not to come to work because the fallout 0:50:40.200 --> 0:50:43.160 from one of the missiles had hit our buildings, so 0:50:43.239 --> 0:50:46.000 the top three floors, all the windows have blown out 0:50:46.280 --> 0:50:50.040 and glasses everywhere. So we were told to stay home 0:50:50.080 --> 0:50:51.400 and not to come near the building. 0:50:51.920 --> 0:50:53.040 So it's pretty close. 0:50:53.120 --> 0:50:55.319 Somen get closer than that, really. 0:50:55.320 --> 0:50:58.840 No, you're right, Are the attacks all the time? Have 0:50:58.920 --> 0:51:04.200 they only adnired during the day? When does this most 0:51:04.239 --> 0:51:04.920 often occur? 0:51:07.040 --> 0:51:11.160 Well, it's really any time. There's been at all hours, 0:51:11.320 --> 0:51:12.120 either early. 0:51:11.960 --> 0:51:16.160 In the morning during the day, five o'clock, eight o'clock 0:51:16.160 --> 0:51:16.520 in the. 0:51:16.480 --> 0:51:19.920 Evening, and quite a lot at night. There were some 0:51:20.080 --> 0:51:23.200 lights where we had three or four times where we 0:51:23.239 --> 0:51:26.319 had to go to the shelter, which, of course you 0:51:26.360 --> 0:51:27.800 don't get very much sleep. 0:51:28.400 --> 0:51:30.879 So for about a week we didn't get a lot 0:51:30.880 --> 0:51:31.320 of sleep. 0:51:31.440 --> 0:51:33.760 Last night was the first night that we actually got 0:51:34.000 --> 0:51:37.560 straight seven hours in the center of the country. Sometimes 0:51:37.560 --> 0:51:40.279 the warnings go to the north or the south, and 0:51:40.360 --> 0:51:44.319 so those areas only have to run too shelters, and 0:51:44.400 --> 0:51:47.520 sometimes it's the whole country, and sometimes it's just the center. 0:51:48.360 --> 0:51:50.560 And when we get a warning, now. 0:51:50.719 --> 0:51:54.520 We've got up to ten minutes, we get a warning on. 0:51:54.480 --> 0:51:58.919 Our phone that said miss also been launched from run 0:52:00.000 --> 0:52:03.920 and then at ninety seconds in the center of the country, 0:52:04.000 --> 0:52:05.280 there is a siren. 0:52:05.680 --> 0:52:07.480 And you run to your safe room. 0:52:08.320 --> 0:52:10.560 If you don't have a safe room in your home, 0:52:10.719 --> 0:52:14.560 you have to run down. If you're in an apartment building, 0:52:15.080 --> 0:52:19.480 it's usually on the basement floor, and if you don't 0:52:19.600 --> 0:52:22.040 have one in your apartment's building, then you can run 0:52:22.080 --> 0:52:27.960 to a public shelter. Train stations and underground car parks 0:52:28.040 --> 0:52:31.360 have been converted into places where you can seek shelter, 0:52:32.160 --> 0:52:37.319 and lots of people have set up mattresses there with 0:52:37.520 --> 0:52:39.200 sheeps so their children can. 0:52:39.040 --> 0:52:42.040 Spend the night there. So it's a real thing. 0:52:42.680 --> 0:52:46.000 What does a shelter typically look like it Is it 0:52:46.200 --> 0:52:50.799 just a bare below ground concrete enforced room. Is that 0:52:50.880 --> 0:52:51.359 what it is? 0:52:52.719 --> 0:52:55.960 Well, for instance, we've got one in our house because 0:52:56.160 --> 0:52:58.960 all houses that were built up in nineteen ninety two 0:52:59.640 --> 0:53:02.600 have to have a shelter in the house. So it's 0:53:02.600 --> 0:53:06.759 a reinforced concrete room with the door that you can 0:53:06.800 --> 0:53:12.880 close and seal, and many people use it for different things. 0:53:13.400 --> 0:53:16.200 Most people use it for an extra bedroom, and so 0:53:16.320 --> 0:53:19.120 most people that have one in their home have set 0:53:19.160 --> 0:53:22.480 it up so that with mattresses on the floor and 0:53:23.239 --> 0:53:25.719 you know, water and things like that, so that they 0:53:25.719 --> 0:53:30.800 can stay there. Most kids are sleeping in their shelters, 0:53:31.320 --> 0:53:34.520 so at least the kids are sort of getting a 0:53:34.600 --> 0:53:37.080 full night sleep because they don't really know when the 0:53:37.120 --> 0:53:42.320 siren's golf purse there asleep. But more than as I said, 0:53:42.600 --> 0:53:46.239 more than fifty percent of people don't have shelters in 0:53:46.239 --> 0:53:50.160 their home, so they're all running there, running downstairs of 0:53:50.200 --> 0:53:52.719 an apartment building to get to a basement where there 0:53:52.760 --> 0:53:56.719 is a shelter, or they're staying in a in a 0:53:56.800 --> 0:54:02.080 space like the light rail stations or underground car parks 0:54:02.640 --> 0:54:03.960 where they can seek shelter. 0:54:04.320 --> 0:54:09.360 Right, what about the thoughts of the people understanding, of 0:54:09.400 --> 0:54:13.440 course that Iran has made it clear that they want 0:54:13.480 --> 0:54:15.839 to see the end of Israel, and the fact that 0:54:15.840 --> 0:54:21.280 they were enriching uranium nuclear fuel is a great concern. 0:54:21.440 --> 0:54:25.640 So the argument is that unless the Israelis did this, 0:54:26.120 --> 0:54:28.920 then they'd have to do with much worse consequences. Is 0:54:28.960 --> 0:54:31.920 that have you most of you share and do you 0:54:31.960 --> 0:54:34.799 support what the government's done? 0:54:35.400 --> 0:54:42.920 Yes, I think equivocally the majority of Israelis are for 0:54:43.160 --> 0:54:48.160 the current actions. You know, there's no doubt that Iran 0:54:48.320 --> 0:54:51.840 is one of the most dangerous regimes in the world, 0:54:52.560 --> 0:54:56.080 and giving them one of the most dangerous weapons. A 0:54:56.200 --> 0:55:01.200 nuclear bomb for Israel is an exerc a total threat 0:55:01.239 --> 0:55:06.640 to his existence. There is no doubt that they want 0:55:06.640 --> 0:55:08.640 to wipe Israel off the face of the map. 0:55:09.120 --> 0:55:09.680 And there is. 0:55:09.600 --> 0:55:13.080 Also no doubt that they have reached the point of 0:55:13.400 --> 0:55:16.839 enrichment where they can enrich the uranium and turn it 0:55:16.880 --> 0:55:20.160 now into the coin production. I turned it into a 0:55:20.239 --> 0:55:21.520 nuclear bomb. 0:55:22.360 --> 0:55:23.280 So it's very. 0:55:23.080 --> 0:55:29.000 Important that we stop this process. And indeed we've made 0:55:29.160 --> 0:55:33.200 a very big dent in the process as well, as 0:55:33.320 --> 0:55:37.120 they're eliminating a lot of their ballistic missulets and other 0:55:37.239 --> 0:55:40.520 missiles that they have which they can use and are 0:55:40.680 --> 0:55:41.799 using against us. 0:55:42.440 --> 0:55:46.480 So do you imagine that America will join with Israel? 0:55:46.560 --> 0:55:49.440 And is that the view of people around you that 0:55:49.520 --> 0:55:51.560 in fact, the US will get involved or do you 0:55:51.600 --> 0:55:54.719 think once again Israel will do the heavy lifting on 0:55:54.800 --> 0:55:55.200 its own. 0:55:57.040 --> 0:55:59.839 I'm not sure about that one. Not sure. 0:56:01.440 --> 0:56:04.480 President Donald Trump is unpredictable. 0:56:04.600 --> 0:56:06.799 We do not know that what he will do. 0:56:08.080 --> 0:56:13.560 There are wider consequences of American actions. It is very 0:56:13.600 --> 0:56:18.040 clear that the Iranian current regime is not only anti Israel, 0:56:18.160 --> 0:56:24.360 it's anti American, anti democratic democracy, and I you know, 0:56:24.520 --> 0:56:28.960 President Trump knows that, but to be involved he has 0:56:29.000 --> 0:56:32.200 to consider wider consequences. I have no doubt that he 0:56:32.280 --> 0:56:36.200 will support Israel and is supporting Israel in every action 0:56:36.320 --> 0:56:39.960 that they are taking against Iran at the moment. But 0:56:40.080 --> 0:56:45.040 whether he will be involved, I don't know. It's a 0:56:45.120 --> 0:56:48.720 continuing story that's been revealed every. 0:56:48.600 --> 0:56:52.200 Day you and I over the several years now we've 0:56:52.200 --> 0:56:55.600 been talking. You've shared with us the fact that you've 0:56:55.640 --> 0:57:00.120 got three adult children who, at various times observed in 0:57:00.160 --> 0:57:04.520 the defense forces. Of those people, have they been called up, 0:57:04.560 --> 0:57:07.440 so to speak, or are they away from having to 0:57:07.480 --> 0:57:08.280 serve right now? 0:57:09.880 --> 0:57:14.319 They're at home now and lots of reserve forces have 0:57:14.480 --> 0:57:17.840 been called up. Fortunately they haven't been called up at 0:57:17.840 --> 0:57:22.360 the moment, don't know when they will be. And my daughter, 0:57:22.440 --> 0:57:27.240 who's the youngest, is currently doing her three year national service, 0:57:27.360 --> 0:57:28.840 so she's still in the army. 0:57:29.520 --> 0:57:33.520 Goodness goodness, me must be difficult to cope with. Or 0:57:33.560 --> 0:57:34.680 do you get used to it? 0:57:36.480 --> 0:57:37.200 I don't think you. 0:57:37.160 --> 0:57:39.880 Ever really get used to it. 0:57:39.880 --> 0:57:42.960 It's just it's something we live with. But you don't 0:57:42.960 --> 0:57:43.640 get used to it. 0:57:43.680 --> 0:57:45.040 You're always worried about them. 0:57:45.760 --> 0:57:51.080 Yeah, when when we spoke originally following the horrific her 0:57:51.120 --> 0:57:56.920 mass attacks, that was a different kind of concern. The 0:57:56.920 --> 0:58:01.240 whole world, with the exception of a few predictable types, 0:58:01.840 --> 0:58:08.560 widely condemned what was perpetrated amongst all those beautiful, innocent Israelis. 0:58:09.320 --> 0:58:12.920 And of course we knew that there were continuing efforts 0:58:12.960 --> 0:58:18.880 by Hamas to destroy Israel. Does it feel more or 0:58:18.960 --> 0:58:21.880 less safe now with the Iranian conflict? 0:58:23.680 --> 0:58:27.720 The Iranian conflict is totally different from what happened on 0:58:27.800 --> 0:58:32.320 October the seventh. It's a very scary thing to be 0:58:32.400 --> 0:58:37.200 inside what you a concrete room, a concrete shelter, probably 0:58:37.240 --> 0:58:40.720 what you would describe as a concrete manker, and here 0:58:41.080 --> 0:58:43.920 massive booms go above you. 0:58:43.920 --> 0:58:46.280 You know, which you think are above. 0:58:46.000 --> 0:58:48.840 You, but they could be twenty thirty miles away from you, 0:58:50.720 --> 0:58:53.360 and there's just you don't know what's going to happen. 0:58:54.040 --> 0:58:58.120 You don't know if they've been intercepted. The majority are intercepted, 0:58:58.720 --> 0:59:02.720 but you know, unfortunately there are some that do get through. 0:59:03.320 --> 0:59:06.480 And there have been twenty four people killed in the 0:59:06.560 --> 0:59:12.200 last eight days from missile attacks, and another six thousand 0:59:12.400 --> 0:59:19.479 have been homeless from damage to their property, their home 0:59:19.720 --> 0:59:22.640 so that they cannot return and we've had about a 0:59:22.680 --> 0:59:25.720 thousand people that have been wounded, most of them slightly, 0:59:26.040 --> 0:59:31.600 not critically. So it's a serious thing and it's a 0:59:31.720 --> 0:59:36.440 very scary thing. October seventh was a totally different experience. 0:59:36.960 --> 0:59:41.520 Both of them tragic, both of them quite scary, both 0:59:41.560 --> 0:59:46.000 of them ex estential threats to Israel, but in a 0:59:46.120 --> 0:59:46.919 very different way. 0:59:47.640 --> 0:59:50.919 Yeah, I've got to let you go. But before I do, 0:59:51.280 --> 0:59:55.160 you've heard no doubt and seen some world leaders talk 0:59:55.200 --> 1:00:00.360 about moderation and de escalation and the like. It seems 1:00:00.400 --> 1:00:04.520 to me that their words don't resonate certainly with the 1:00:04.560 --> 1:00:09.320 people in Iran or the Iran Iranian leadership. It seems like, 1:00:09.320 --> 1:00:12.800 I guess words used to fill the vacuum. What's going 1:00:12.840 --> 1:00:15.000 to happen here? How does this resolve itself? 1:00:15.040 --> 1:00:20.760 If it can, well you have to have a parenty 1:00:20.800 --> 1:00:23.160 that comes to the table and to say that, yes, 1:00:24.800 --> 1:00:27.840 Israel can exist, I'm not going to wipe you out, 1:00:28.280 --> 1:00:32.440 and America can exist. And we do recognize the countries 1:00:32.760 --> 1:00:35.320 and their principles and they're moral values. 1:00:36.280 --> 1:00:36.920 Let's talk. 1:00:37.640 --> 1:00:41.400 If you're saying that, I'm going you know, our aim is. 1:00:41.560 --> 1:00:46.200 To wipe out Israel. The story is ral completely and. 1:00:46.360 --> 1:00:50.720 Whatever Americans we can come after in the process, we 1:00:50.800 --> 1:00:52.120 will get that. 1:00:52.400 --> 1:00:53.400 Then there's no way. 1:00:53.240 --> 1:00:57.320 That we can have a dialogue until is a change. 1:00:57.480 --> 1:00:59.640 And I believe that there will be a change in 1:00:59.640 --> 1:01:04.280 the major already of countries and we will see greater 1:01:04.400 --> 1:01:07.880 peace between a lot of the countries. But until Iran, 1:01:07.960 --> 1:01:10.600 in the regime in Iran, makes that change, I'm not 1:01:10.680 --> 1:01:14.640 sure that they can do that with the current leadership. 1:01:15.200 --> 1:01:16.880 In fact, I don't think they can do it with 1:01:16.920 --> 1:01:20.480 the current leadership. Then we don't have a choice in 1:01:20.560 --> 1:01:24.520 what we're doing. We started talking after October seventh, and 1:01:24.640 --> 1:01:27.880 at that time there were almost two hundred hostages that 1:01:27.960 --> 1:01:33.280 Hamas had taken. Today we still have fifty three Israeli 1:01:33.520 --> 1:01:38.520 hostages in Gaza, twenty one of which we believe are alive, 1:01:39.480 --> 1:01:40.760 and we. 1:01:40.720 --> 1:01:41.600 Need to have them back. 1:01:42.240 --> 1:01:46.520 Yeah, obvious thing to say. Stay safe, Locks of love, 1:01:46.560 --> 1:01:47.640 We'll talk again, Lisa. 1:01:48.760 --> 1:01:51.880 Thanks, Luke, same to you. 1:01:51.200 --> 1:01:54.920 Ye Ray It's twenty two to eleven. Just a couple 1:01:54.920 --> 1:01:59.480 of text messages, Angela says, thanks for the wonderful educational interview. 1:01:59.520 --> 1:02:03.680 Thank you Angela very much. Indeed, Luke sending Lisa Sidney's 1:02:03.720 --> 1:02:08.520 Jewish Communities prayers and best wishes. Thank you, Dorothy and Maria. 1:02:09.080 --> 1:02:12.000 Please stop with the Israeli propaganda. Why don't you get 1:02:12.080 --> 1:02:16.320 subject matter experts on? Well, she's living there, Maria, I mean, really, 1:02:16.840 --> 1:02:19.840 what sort of a half would say get an expert? 1:02:19.880 --> 1:02:22.880 What get someone from a local university or speak to 1:02:22.920 --> 1:02:27.000 someone and tell Aviv you do the mathematics. Please give 1:02:27.040 --> 1:02:30.800 me a break. And Emily, thank you for your note. 1:02:30.800 --> 1:02:33.840 We're thinking of your morning, Luke. My husband's in Israel 1:02:33.920 --> 1:02:36.720 visiting family. Just sent me a message. They're in a 1:02:36.760 --> 1:02:41.440 bomb shelter now at Rishon. Not to you back for 1:02:41.440 --> 1:02:44.320 a few weeks, but hoping it'll be over by then. Well, 1:02:44.320 --> 1:02:46.320 we're thinking of Cindy. Thank you for getting in touch 1:02:47.280 --> 1:02:52.120 now on weekends, ask a training thanks to nob Kitchens 1:02:52.160 --> 1:02:56.400 since nineteen thirty nine and with Sydney's blongest kitchen showrooms 1:02:56.440 --> 1:03:00.240 and free in home design service. You got some work 1:03:00.280 --> 1:03:03.080 that needs to be done, questions that need answering, Well, 1:03:03.200 --> 1:03:07.600 this is the premiere destination for all of that. Simon 1:03:07.680 --> 1:03:10.840 Stephenson's in the studio. You can ask a question on 1:03:10.840 --> 1:03:13.960 one three one eight seven three call right now, Hello 1:03:14.040 --> 1:03:14.840 am my friend. 1:03:14.600 --> 1:03:17.080 Hello mate, you're well I'm well, thank you good. 1:03:17.240 --> 1:03:19.200 Yeah, not too bad at all. We wanted to start 1:03:19.240 --> 1:03:25.000 off by talking about window tinting. I nearly said, tindo winting. 1:03:25.920 --> 1:03:29.080 I don't know why, but I nearly did. Can I 1:03:29.120 --> 1:03:31.360 make a real difference to the temperature on the house. 1:03:31.360 --> 1:03:32.960 It gets you if we've got full sun and you 1:03:33.000 --> 1:03:33.480 don't want it. 1:03:33.960 --> 1:03:36.000 You know what, do you know what's amazing. We get 1:03:36.000 --> 1:03:38.400 our cars window tinted, don't we. Yeah, and we do 1:03:38.520 --> 1:03:41.240 that for temperature and a little bit of privacy too, 1:03:41.960 --> 1:03:43.320 and it's the same with your home. 1:03:43.720 --> 1:03:44.840 I had a house years ago. 1:03:46.000 --> 1:03:49.320 I had windows facing directly east and in the morning, 1:03:49.680 --> 1:03:52.640 that land room used to get so hot. I had 1:03:52.680 --> 1:03:55.160 window tinting done and I ended up taking all the 1:03:55.200 --> 1:03:57.640 blinds down, and it was amazing because we had a 1:03:57.640 --> 1:03:59.920 bit of a view and we were able to take 1:03:59.920 --> 1:04:01.560 the blinds down because the blinds were there to try 1:04:01.560 --> 1:04:03.880 and stop the heat coming into the room. And it 1:04:04.080 --> 1:04:07.240 just made a massive difference. I reckon at least ten 1:04:07.280 --> 1:04:10.000 degrees difference in the mornings in that lound room, so 1:04:10.080 --> 1:04:13.480 my air conditioner didn't have to work so hard. And 1:04:13.840 --> 1:04:16.120 you know the other thing is there's so many different 1:04:16.200 --> 1:04:20.280 tints now from almost completely clear tint. So if you 1:04:20.320 --> 1:04:23.200 do have a view, the clear tint is there and 1:04:23.240 --> 1:04:27.000 it's designed you know, obviously it's not going to put 1:04:27.000 --> 1:04:29.560 a darkness on the windows. But what it does is 1:04:29.600 --> 1:04:32.640 it stops the UV coming through the glass, and the 1:04:32.680 --> 1:04:35.360 amounts of UV that comes through from the sun can 1:04:35.440 --> 1:04:41.480 damage things like carpet, timber, flooring, furniture, even curtains themselves. 1:04:41.840 --> 1:04:44.400 If you have curtains up for many years, they will 1:04:44.440 --> 1:04:48.080 break down from the UV where they'll just tend to 1:04:48.080 --> 1:04:52.520 fall apart. So thinking about getting your windows tinted can 1:04:52.680 --> 1:04:54.800 make a huge, huge difference to your home. 1:04:54.960 --> 1:04:57.360 Is it something you can do yourself or should you 1:04:57.400 --> 1:04:59.520 get an expert or trading or someone to do it 1:04:59.560 --> 1:04:59.800 for you. 1:05:00.000 --> 1:05:03.400 There are tints available at hardware stores that you can 1:05:03.480 --> 1:05:06.480 get yourself, but truly, I've tried to do it. It's 1:05:06.520 --> 1:05:10.360 not as easy as it looks, okay, like really, because. 1:05:10.160 --> 1:05:12.000 It is a thin film, isn't it. You've got to 1:05:12.040 --> 1:05:15.040 be and it's full of glue. 1:05:15.160 --> 1:05:18.160 So it's a thin film, yes, so you know you've 1:05:18.200 --> 1:05:20.400 got to be able to cut it to size. 1:05:20.880 --> 1:05:21.880 Your glass has. 1:05:21.800 --> 1:05:24.200 To be perfectly clean as well, so you've got to 1:05:24.240 --> 1:05:26.880 make sure that you run over the glass with a 1:05:26.920 --> 1:05:30.240 blade to clean any sort of imperfections off. You know, 1:05:30.320 --> 1:05:34.880 it's quite time consuming and to watch the professionals do it. 1:05:34.880 --> 1:05:37.320 It's one of those jobs where you know, there's a few. 1:05:37.200 --> 1:05:42.920 Jobs tiling rendering, obviously electrical and plumbing, but also window tinting, 1:05:42.920 --> 1:05:44.680 which I think are one of those ones to leave 1:05:44.800 --> 1:05:49.920 the professionals, definitely, but definitely worth looking at. And if 1:05:49.960 --> 1:05:51.680 you do have old window tint and you want to 1:05:51.680 --> 1:05:54.520 get it off, if it's starting to break down, because 1:05:54.560 --> 1:05:58.680 it does have a lifespan, put newspaper onto the glass internally, 1:05:58.720 --> 1:06:02.800 because window tints always apply from inside. Put newspaper on 1:06:02.840 --> 1:06:04.760 the glass and then spray it with water and keep 1:06:04.800 --> 1:06:07.120 it wet for a good while, an hour or so, 1:06:07.480 --> 1:06:09.760 and then that that tint will just peel right off you. 1:06:09.880 --> 1:06:12.080 Is that right, That's a simple solution to get it, Okay? 1:06:12.120 --> 1:06:14.360 I didn't know that, all right? One three one eight 1:06:14.480 --> 1:06:17.000 seven three Grace, good morning. How can we help you? 1:06:17.760 --> 1:06:21.600 Oh, good morning, Luke and Simon morning. Problem in the 1:06:21.640 --> 1:06:26.080 shower recess one tile, the one that you tend to 1:06:26.160 --> 1:06:31.080 step on to getting in, is losing its surface ceramic 1:06:31.840 --> 1:06:36.520 and revealing the terra cotta color of the tile underneath. 1:06:36.640 --> 1:06:37.840 Okay, that's unusual. 1:06:37.960 --> 1:06:41.800 I mean the tiles are usually they got a glaze 1:06:41.880 --> 1:06:45.320 or something on them, and they shouldn't normally lose that. 1:06:47.440 --> 1:06:50.480 And I don't know why one one tile would. 1:06:51.840 --> 1:06:56.480 Have you tried giving it a really good clean to 1:06:56.520 --> 1:06:59.280 make sure that it is definitely losing its sheen. 1:06:59.440 --> 1:07:02.400 Just yes, yes, you can pick up a little flivver 1:07:02.640 --> 1:07:03.040 of it. 1:07:03.160 --> 1:07:05.479 All right, So it's obviously breaking down. 1:07:05.680 --> 1:07:10.120 And look, whether you can get a tiler to come 1:07:10.240 --> 1:07:12.840 in and replace one tile, it may be a little 1:07:12.880 --> 1:07:13.640 bit difficult. 1:07:13.840 --> 1:07:15.160 The other option would. 1:07:14.960 --> 1:07:18.360 Be maybe to paint that tile, and you need to 1:07:18.480 --> 1:07:20.800 use a two pack of POxy. 1:07:20.680 --> 1:07:22.520 Something from an r glass or something. 1:07:22.600 --> 1:07:25.120 You could fill it and then paint it so it 1:07:25.120 --> 1:07:27.240 could match the tiles that are already there. 1:07:27.440 --> 1:07:29.439 So that is another option to think about. 1:07:30.520 --> 1:07:34.040 Oh do golly? So, yes, it wouldn't be a good 1:07:34.080 --> 1:07:37.439 idea to try and remove one tile, would Look. 1:07:37.520 --> 1:07:39.880 The problem you've got is if you're removing a floor 1:07:39.960 --> 1:07:43.320 tile that you're stepping on, you're then compromising the waterproof 1:07:43.360 --> 1:07:46.760 membrane underneath. So you're better off trying to repair it 1:07:46.800 --> 1:07:47.560 if possible. 1:07:48.000 --> 1:07:51.880 Okay, good luck, Grace, thank you for calling. On the 1:07:51.920 --> 1:07:55.240 text Gdeluke and Simon. A few weeks ago, Simon spoke 1:07:55.240 --> 1:08:01.000 about a sealer for putting in small cracks on concrete driveway. Simon, 1:08:01.040 --> 1:08:03.640 could you please mention the product name again, Dug on 1:08:03.680 --> 1:08:04.640 the Gold Coast. 1:08:04.520 --> 1:08:05.360 Okay, Doug. 1:08:05.480 --> 1:08:09.040 It was called ePIE Res one two three, so ep 1:08:09.400 --> 1:08:13.920 i r z epi Res one two three. And it 1:08:13.920 --> 1:08:17.360 comes in like a tomato sauce bottle with a little tube, 1:08:17.400 --> 1:08:19.200 you know, and you just squirt it into that crack. 1:08:19.520 --> 1:08:22.080 It seeps the way down and what you do is 1:08:22.080 --> 1:08:24.080 you keep going back and forth to the crack till 1:08:24.080 --> 1:08:25.760 it will not accept anymore. 1:08:26.200 --> 1:08:27.479 It does then foam up. 1:08:27.439 --> 1:08:29.680 A little bit and fill that crack up, and it 1:08:29.760 --> 1:08:32.240 will then give it full strength back to normal. 1:08:32.720 --> 1:08:35.439 And does it when it foams up, does it go 1:08:36.040 --> 1:08:38.519 outside of the crack? Do you end up having it sound? Yeah? 1:08:38.520 --> 1:08:39.639 Look, we did, we did it. 1:08:39.680 --> 1:08:42.040 We did a garage floor where we did end up 1:08:42.080 --> 1:08:44.800 sanding that because we ended up putting a coating over 1:08:44.800 --> 1:08:49.120 the top of the garage floor afterwards. And that depends 1:08:49.160 --> 1:08:51.680 on the size of the crack too. That is designed 1:08:51.720 --> 1:08:54.160 for hairline cracks or bigger just a little bit bigger. 1:08:54.320 --> 1:08:56.960 You're not going to do something ten mils wide with. 1:08:56.880 --> 1:08:58.320 That, Okay? And what's it called again? 1:08:58.600 --> 1:09:00.120 EPI res one two? 1:09:00.640 --> 1:09:04.960 Okay, Simon, I have an outdoor table that's stained and sealed. 1:09:05.000 --> 1:09:08.120 I want to paint it. What prep is required? And 1:09:08.200 --> 1:09:10.880 can I use water based paint? 1:09:11.040 --> 1:09:11.400 Okay? 1:09:11.680 --> 1:09:13.800 Yes, you can use a water based paint if it 1:09:13.880 --> 1:09:17.599 is stained and sealed. I would use an oil based 1:09:17.680 --> 1:09:21.679 primer on their first, So sand the coating. Make sure 1:09:21.720 --> 1:09:24.880 that you have got a solid surface to work from. 1:09:25.200 --> 1:09:28.519 Then use something you can use either the nor Glass 1:09:28.640 --> 1:09:32.200 Universal Primer their primer, or you can use something like Zinza. 1:09:32.280 --> 1:09:35.320 Cover stain is another product you could use, and then 1:09:35.360 --> 1:09:37.679 you can go over wa the water base. I would 1:09:37.720 --> 1:09:40.160 go with a water based enamel. It's going to be 1:09:40.160 --> 1:09:42.680 a little bit harder wearing than just something like a 1:09:42.760 --> 1:09:45.439 du lux weather shield, because when you put plates and 1:09:45.479 --> 1:09:47.400 cups and things down, you want it to be a 1:09:47.400 --> 1:09:48.320 little bit harder wearing. 1:09:48.520 --> 1:09:51.880 Okay, good on your David, Hope that helps.

All right, it's ten to 1:10:05.520 --> 1:10:07.960 eleven o'clock. Patricia, Good morning to you. How can we 1:10:08.000 --> 1:10:08.599 assist to you? 1:10:09.400 --> 1:10:11.880 Good morning, Simon and Luke. I'd like to ask how 1:10:12.960 --> 1:10:16.640 what to do to the surface of tinted windows that 1:10:16.760 --> 1:10:21.240 have already have a Marx on them. But there's been 1:10:21.240 --> 1:10:23.120 a painter in and there are marks from the painter 1:10:23.240 --> 1:10:26.720 and there's just a mars on the tinted surface. It's 1:10:26.760 --> 1:10:28.680 been there a few years. 1:10:28.280 --> 1:10:29.920 And I don't want to remove it. 1:10:30.200 --> 1:10:33.800 Okay, Simon, do you know if it is a water 1:10:33.840 --> 1:10:36.080 based paint that he's got on there, or if it 1:10:36.160 --> 1:10:38.360 is an oil based paint. Do you know that whether 1:10:38.400 --> 1:10:40.599 he's got what's on the surface of the tint. 1:10:41.600 --> 1:10:43.080 Yes, it's the water based paint. 1:10:43.160 --> 1:10:45.439 Okay, well, no it's no, it's not no, No, the 1:10:45.439 --> 1:10:48.040 windows were done with oil based the window frame. 1:10:48.200 --> 1:10:48.479 Yeah. 1:10:48.600 --> 1:10:51.880 Unfortunately, if it's on the tint, there's nothing you can 1:10:51.880 --> 1:10:56.000 do to get it off. There's there's no remover that's 1:10:56.000 --> 1:10:58.080 going to take that off that won't damage the tint. 1:10:58.800 --> 1:11:01.160 So unfortunately, I think you're going to have to get 1:11:01.160 --> 1:11:03.599 the windows reach inted again. If it was water based, 1:11:03.680 --> 1:11:06.040 I could definitely help you there, but oil based no way. 1:11:07.000 --> 1:11:09.360 Can you tell me what if it's water based from 1:11:09.360 --> 1:11:12.960 the plastering that's done earlier and not the other because 1:11:13.000 --> 1:11:16.320 there's been both tradesmen here. What would I do if 1:11:16.320 --> 1:11:17.920 before the water. 1:11:17.680 --> 1:11:19.960 Based paint, if you can get to a Mito ten 1:11:20.120 --> 1:11:24.160 store or an Inspiration paints or something, get a product. 1:11:23.760 --> 1:11:26.280 Called lift Off and it. 1:11:26.000 --> 1:11:30.280 Has got an acrylic paint remover and try spraying some 1:11:30.360 --> 1:11:32.760 one a cloth and rubbing it on the surface. Just 1:11:32.920 --> 1:11:36.240 try an inconspicuous area first, just to you know, just 1:11:36.280 --> 1:11:38.640 so it doesn't checked, it doesn't damage the tent, but 1:11:38.680 --> 1:11:39.400 it should work. 1:11:39.520 --> 1:11:41.720 Okay. What's that called lift So lift. 1:11:41.479 --> 1:11:45.120 Off and it is the acrylic paint remover of it, 1:11:45.479 --> 1:11:46.880 so it works. 1:11:46.640 --> 1:11:50.240 Really really well now this night from Lisa. Thank you Lisa. 1:11:50.360 --> 1:11:54.000 We were hoping to lay laminade floorboards over our existing 1:11:54.040 --> 1:11:56.719 timber floor, the original ones when we bought the house. 1:11:57.160 --> 1:12:00.280 But the floor isn't level so the new boards won't 1:12:00.320 --> 1:12:03.160 be flush and the installers can't give a guarantee on them. 1:12:03.520 --> 1:12:06.240 What options do we have other than ripping up the 1:12:06.320 --> 1:12:10.000 existing boards and replacing them. We have the option of tiling. 1:12:10.439 --> 1:12:13.519 How does that work on existing flawing? Is that easier 1:12:14.080 --> 1:12:16.559 with regards to our leveling issue? 1:12:16.680 --> 1:12:20.280 Okay, so you can't tile over floorboards. It has to 1:12:20.320 --> 1:12:22.920 be like a cement sheet to get tile over. Otherwise 1:12:22.960 --> 1:12:26.960 those those tiles will crack when it comes to your 1:12:27.000 --> 1:12:30.000 floorboards that you're putting over the top. There are self 1:12:30.120 --> 1:12:32.439 leveling products, but I don't know how that's going to 1:12:32.439 --> 1:12:36.280 go sticking to the floorboards either. So land Co make 1:12:36.360 --> 1:12:40.400 a self leveling product. I would contact land Co themselves. 1:12:40.479 --> 1:12:43.320 It's available at the hardware stores and ask them if 1:12:43.320 --> 1:12:45.800 you can put that over a timber floor. And what 1:12:45.840 --> 1:12:47.439 you do is you mix up at a bucket and 1:12:47.479 --> 1:12:50.679 pour it. It's self levels over that surface. So that's 1:12:50.680 --> 1:12:54.679 what they use for leveling. Your other option is maybe 1:12:54.960 --> 1:13:00.080 try a vinyl People forget about vinyl. Vinyl is amazing 1:13:00.120 --> 1:13:01.559 option and you can get it. 1:13:01.479 --> 1:13:02.719 That looks like timber. 1:13:02.920 --> 1:13:03.880 Yeah, I love it. 1:13:03.880 --> 1:13:06.599 It's warm under the feet, it's a bit softer than timber. 1:13:06.640 --> 1:13:09.360 Before you can spill a bucket of water and it's 1:13:09.439 --> 1:13:12.880 not going to be affected. I really think people, you know. 1:13:12.920 --> 1:13:15.200 Just forget about vinyl all the time. It's not like 1:13:15.280 --> 1:13:15.920 the sixties. 1:13:16.200 --> 1:13:20.360 No, I showed you those hybrid square hybrid vinyl granite 1:13:20.360 --> 1:13:24.320 looking flooring I put on in the in the laundry, 1:13:24.840 --> 1:13:28.759 and you are so right, and you think vinyl vinyl 1:13:29.280 --> 1:13:31.559 I'm not going to put liner doesn't have to be 1:13:31.560 --> 1:13:32.000 that at all. 1:13:32.080 --> 1:13:34.559 It's nothing like what it was in the sixties. I mean, 1:13:34.600 --> 1:13:36.400 there is ones that look that you and I were 1:13:36.400 --> 1:13:38.840 around in the sixties. Absolutely, that's only going on what 1:13:38.880 --> 1:13:39.599 people tell us. 1:13:40.680 --> 1:13:45.439 Absolutely, all right, So vinyl is an option and land 1:13:45.479 --> 1:13:47.599 cover is it L A n C O to get right? 1:13:47.720 --> 1:13:47.920 Yeah? 1:13:48.720 --> 1:13:50.280 All right, Peter, good morning. 1:13:51.520 --> 1:13:51.920 Good morning. 1:13:51.960 --> 1:13:52.479 How are you going? 1:13:52.520 --> 1:13:52.760 Good? 1:13:52.840 --> 1:13:57.599 Good good, Yeah, thanks for taking a call. Look, there's 1:13:58.000 --> 1:14:00.360 there's this year I've got with some walls in you know, 1:14:00.439 --> 1:14:03.120 get it. So there were some al pierce of the 1:14:03.200 --> 1:14:06.120 roof because water water was coming down the walls. Yep, 1:14:06.240 --> 1:14:10.519 that's been repaired. It's been painted through the insurance. But 1:14:10.800 --> 1:14:13.360 now when we look at the wall, there seems to 1:14:13.400 --> 1:14:18.080 be it looks like water marks still down the wall. Okay, 1:14:18.200 --> 1:14:22.240 even though it's been painted, yep, but it doesn't seem 1:14:22.280 --> 1:14:22.880 to be wet. 1:14:23.040 --> 1:14:23.360 All right. 1:14:23.400 --> 1:14:26.280 I'm just wondering when you say water marks is when 1:14:26.320 --> 1:14:28.679 you say water marks is like a brown light brown 1:14:28.760 --> 1:14:31.080 stain coming through something like that brown. 1:14:32.120 --> 1:14:34.879 What you what it looks like. It looks like it's streaking. 1:14:36.400 --> 1:14:38.080 It's like a lighter color. 1:14:38.520 --> 1:14:41.360 Okay, So what what I'd say is happening is you're 1:14:41.400 --> 1:14:44.120 getting something bleeding through that paint. They've probably just gone 1:14:44.160 --> 1:14:47.679 straight over with an acrylic paint. You need to prime 1:14:47.800 --> 1:14:52.200 that surface with a stained seiler something like the Zinza. 1:14:51.840 --> 1:14:53.080 Bin b I N. 1:14:54.200 --> 1:14:57.000 That's completely going to solve that issue. And then you 1:14:57.040 --> 1:14:59.680 go over with the acrylic paint. So whoever did the 1:14:59.720 --> 1:15:02.840 paint hasn't done the job properly. They haven't solved the 1:15:02.880 --> 1:15:05.519 stain issue first, Okay, if you've got to go back 1:15:05.560 --> 1:15:08.240 and do that, go back. Yeah, So I'd contact the 1:15:08.280 --> 1:15:10.439 insurance company. And so listen, that's this is not right. 1:15:10.720 --> 1:15:11.960 It needs to be fixed properly. 1:15:12.120 --> 1:15:16.440 Okay, right, see how you go with that, Peter. Now, unfortunately, 1:15:16.479 --> 1:15:18.920 I'm not going to get time to get to our 1:15:18.960 --> 1:15:22.400 other callers and I'm not having a crack at anyone, 1:15:22.400 --> 1:15:24.519 but ring early. We've got plenty of time, and we 1:15:24.640 --> 1:15:26.320 get to this point where we run out of time. 1:15:27.880 --> 1:15:31.519 So sorry about that.

After Midday, Craig Bennett on Starstruck, we look 1:16:30.479 --> 1:16:33.679 at the life and times of Judy Garland. We lost 1:16:33.680 --> 1:16:37.200 her this weekend about fifty six years ago. But before 1:16:37.240 --> 1:16:51.320 all that, the news is next at eleven across Australia. 1:16:51.439 --> 1:16:55.760 It's back to weekends with Luke Grant. Good morning, thank 1:16:55.800 --> 1:16:57.640 you for listening. It's good to be with you on 1:16:57.680 --> 1:17:03.439 this twenty first day of June. Cold one seven three 1:17:03.560 --> 1:17:06.720 is the number to call here. A cold wheather never 1:17:06.760 --> 1:17:10.000 gets called out, only hot temperatures. They get a run, 1:17:10.000 --> 1:17:12.519 don't they. We notice that if you've got an eye 1:17:12.560 --> 1:17:15.920 on what's happening on planet Earth. As an in drinking 1:17:16.000 --> 1:17:17.280 story in the other I want to get to it 1:17:17.280 --> 1:17:20.200 in a moment or two. But we try to help 1:17:20.280 --> 1:17:23.960 listeners as best we can. And I've got a listener 1:17:24.000 --> 1:17:28.400 online who's ringing from Sydney, who I won't identify because 1:17:29.080 --> 1:17:33.920 it's it's best to keep these issues private. But thank 1:17:33.960 --> 1:17:38.759 you for calling through. Your mum is at the border 1:17:38.920 --> 1:17:41.799 in Iran. Is Is that right. 1:17:43.320 --> 1:17:49.160 Hi, luk Yah. Yes, she's seventy years old, she's alone 1:17:49.760 --> 1:17:54.599 and she's been in the She's an Australian citizen. She's 1:17:54.680 --> 1:17:58.519 been a nurse a midwife for forty years in Sydney 1:17:59.160 --> 1:18:02.920 and for the last she's been an educator of facilitated 1:18:03.040 --> 1:18:07.880 teaching nurses in universities in the hospitals across Sydney and 1:18:08.280 --> 1:18:09.599 now she needs help. 1:18:10.880 --> 1:18:17.280 So what in relation to what defact are doing? And 1:18:18.120 --> 1:18:23.680 I can't imagine the significance or how difficult this would be. 1:18:23.720 --> 1:18:25.360 I mean, you're not going to go to the border 1:18:26.800 --> 1:18:29.760 and find a NAUSI they're here to help. Let's get 1:18:29.840 --> 1:18:32.439 you out of here. It must be very difficult. So 1:18:33.240 --> 1:18:35.720 what has she been told she should do and what 1:18:35.840 --> 1:18:37.639 kind of help has been for bying? 1:18:38.840 --> 1:18:42.080 What's been what's been said? You know the crisis line 1:18:42.120 --> 1:18:44.640 in Sydney, we thought this is great. You know, for 1:18:44.720 --> 1:18:48.240 a week we've registered her there and put all the 1:18:48.400 --> 1:18:51.479 details as they requested and we've been telling them, look, 1:18:51.560 --> 1:18:55.479 she's got it's a six hour, six hour journey for 1:18:55.520 --> 1:18:58.160 her to make it to that border. It's the closest line. 1:18:58.680 --> 1:19:04.240 It's the one that the Australian Ambssy used to get 1:19:04.280 --> 1:19:07.400 out of. It's the one that's been saying. They've been 1:19:07.439 --> 1:19:12.680 telling people to go to Australian citizens and you know 1:19:12.760 --> 1:19:15.400 with ten leaders of Petrol, you know they've been giving 1:19:15.439 --> 1:19:19.040 them lining up from the morning till night to get 1:19:19.040 --> 1:19:21.519 ten leaders the petrol and I don't even know how 1:19:21.560 --> 1:19:25.559 this woman has done it, and she's she's gotten herself there. 1:19:26.200 --> 1:19:28.840 She can't have there's no way back, and then there's 1:19:28.840 --> 1:19:33.960 not no way forward. What we understood was that the 1:19:34.000 --> 1:19:36.800 government and the MBSC were on the other side of 1:19:36.800 --> 1:19:40.040 the border and they were facilitating the process as her 1:19:40.160 --> 1:19:45.479 you know, the media here and they're telling her you 1:19:45.600 --> 1:19:49.920 need authorization from the Australian government. So on the cross 1:19:50.080 --> 1:19:54.639 crisis line they know what is required. But I don't 1:19:54.680 --> 1:19:58.320 know where the breakdown is here. I mean the idea 1:19:58.560 --> 1:20:01.759 was we gave them, you know, a few days notice, 1:20:01.800 --> 1:20:04.240 and we've been continually telling them this old woman he's 1:20:04.240 --> 1:20:08.599 coming through, please, you know, make it clear for her 1:20:08.800 --> 1:20:13.120 it's some kind of authorization to cross. But she's been 1:20:13.160 --> 1:20:16.360 turned away. So for the last twelve hours, I don't 1:20:16.400 --> 1:20:19.000 even know where she is, what she's doing. 1:20:19.360 --> 1:20:21.200 How do you how do you communicate with her? 1:20:22.479 --> 1:20:26.519 There's been a blackout, so internet blackout, as he probably 1:20:26.560 --> 1:20:29.559 knows that she couldn't use her WhatsApp, We couldn't get 1:20:29.600 --> 1:20:33.400 in contact with her. She's been trying to use other 1:20:33.479 --> 1:20:38.160 people's mobiles. Her own, you know, Australian mobile doesn't work. 1:20:38.200 --> 1:20:46.360 Even though it's got global roaming, she's had patchy reception 1:20:46.920 --> 1:20:50.960 through other people's mobiles. You know, sometimes strangers to just 1:20:51.080 --> 1:20:53.760 leave a message and we just get the message saying, 1:20:53.760 --> 1:20:56.120 you know, I'm at this point, I'm headed to this point. 1:20:57.240 --> 1:20:59.559 When she got close to the border, we're now able 1:20:59.680 --> 1:21:03.160 to She's got some more access. It is again patchy, 1:21:03.280 --> 1:21:09.080 but again internet, so we can communicate via WhatsApp messages 1:21:09.520 --> 1:21:13.519 every now and again. It's not easy, but it's possible. 1:21:14.000 --> 1:21:18.559 I'm trying to understand she was directed to this particular border. 1:21:18.760 --> 1:21:22.719 Was she directed there because she'd be met by people 1:21:22.720 --> 1:21:26.880 from DEFAT or they would give her her paperwork or 1:21:26.920 --> 1:21:28.799 what was meant to happen before she crossed. 1:21:29.800 --> 1:21:33.760 Yeah, so apparently the Australian embassy and Tehran, which was 1:21:33.840 --> 1:21:37.920 closed down because of the attack. Yes, they got those 1:21:38.000 --> 1:21:41.920 people out to that border, they crossed them, and they 1:21:41.920 --> 1:21:44.960 are supposed to be sitting on the other side facilitating 1:21:45.040 --> 1:21:52.800 this in the process with the crisis Center here in Australia, 1:21:53.040 --> 1:21:56.599 and they're supposed to be the support there that when 1:21:56.640 --> 1:21:59.479 you get there, they facilitate the crossing. I mean, we're 1:21:59.520 --> 1:22:03.120 not asking for you know what's been advertised. You know, 1:22:03.439 --> 1:22:07.519 the Defense Force is getting you know there and so forth. 1:22:08.000 --> 1:22:10.240 I'll forget about that. We're not asking for a flight, 1:22:10.280 --> 1:22:12.160 We're not asking for them to help to get to 1:22:12.200 --> 1:22:15.000 the border or even help after the border. All we're 1:22:15.080 --> 1:22:19.240 saying is there's citizens there at the border. Give them access, 1:22:19.760 --> 1:22:22.880 give them the access to cross, yeah, to get into 1:22:22.920 --> 1:22:25.320 safety so that they can then make their way home. 1:22:25.640 --> 1:22:29.639 Yeah. Well look, that's that's entirely reasonable, and you must 1:22:29.720 --> 1:22:35.400 be so concerned. As I mentioned before, I won't do 1:22:35.520 --> 1:22:38.840 anything other than do our best to assist you off air. 1:22:39.400 --> 1:22:45.200 So my producers, who are two very intelligent, hardworking, decent people, 1:22:45.240 --> 1:22:47.640 will do what we can to reach out to the 1:22:47.720 --> 1:22:52.519 department and somehow facilitate a conversation. But to think you're 1:22:52.560 --> 1:22:55.360 here in Sydney and your seventy year old mum has 1:22:56.479 --> 1:23:00.320 against the elements, found a way to the border and 1:23:01.400 --> 1:23:04.920 get to that border, the border that she was directed to, 1:23:05.160 --> 1:23:09.439 and then you know, there's seemingly nothing on offer. That's 1:23:09.520 --> 1:23:14.320 not what Australians want to hear. So we'll go I 1:23:14.320 --> 1:23:17.680 will send you back to Kitty and will continue the conversation. 1:23:18.560 --> 1:23:24.000 So media release from Penny Wong released yesterday the Australian 1:23:24.080 --> 1:23:28.360 governments directed the departure of all Australian officials, dependents and 1:23:28.680 --> 1:23:34.680 suspended operations at our embassy based on advice. Australia's ambassador 1:23:34.800 --> 1:23:37.120 to Iran will remain in the region to support the 1:23:37.160 --> 1:23:44.080 Australian government's response. De FAT is deploying consular staff Azerbaijan, 1:23:44.360 --> 1:23:50.960 including its border crossing, to support Australians supporting departing rather Iran. 1:23:52.880 --> 1:23:55.400 We arege Australians who are able to leave Iran to 1:23:55.400 --> 1:23:59.280 do so now it is safe. Those who are unable 1:23:59.320 --> 1:24:02.120 to or don't want to leave, or advice to shelter 1:24:02.240 --> 1:24:06.920 in place. We're continuing to support Australians seeking to depart Iran. 1:24:07.040 --> 1:24:12.200 We remain in close contact with other partner countries. At 1:24:12.200 --> 1:24:15.960 this stage, our ability to provide consul of services is 1:24:16.040 --> 1:24:22.400 extremely limited. The airspace remains closed. And there you are. 1:24:23.960 --> 1:24:28.439 So yeah, a few pieces of that puzzle are seemingly missing, 1:24:29.320 --> 1:24:32.479 and we'll off air, we'll have a conversation and we'll 1:24:32.479 --> 1:24:35.360 see what we can bring you on air before we're 1:24:35.360 --> 1:24:38.479 done today. Very concerning for that listener. Now we'll take 1:24:38.520 --> 1:24:41.639 a break, after which I'll speak to Leith van Onsolin 1:24:41.680 --> 1:24:45.960 from Macrobusiness dot Com dot Au nineteen minutes after eleven o'clock.

On Monday each week, we 1:26:44.640 --> 1:26:48.240 love our chats with Leith van Onsalin, chief economist at 1:26:48.240 --> 1:26:52.040 the NB funded mb super one of the key brains 1:26:52.040 --> 1:26:54.360 at macrobusiness dot com dot au, wh is where we 1:26:54.439 --> 1:26:58.080 get our economic news each day. An excellent place ahead 1:26:58.200 --> 1:27:01.120 and Leith's on the line. Sorry to keep you waiting, 1:27:01.120 --> 1:27:02.400 made things so much I hope you. 1:27:02.360 --> 1:27:05.160 Well, yeah, okay, look here I'm fine, thanks. 1:27:04.960 --> 1:27:08.240 Good on you. Housing crisis it continues to be a 1:27:08.360 --> 1:27:12.519 thing here. Obviously didn't affect the election result. But we've 1:27:12.560 --> 1:27:16.560 had population data I saw I think come through on Thursday, 1:27:17.360 --> 1:27:19.680 and I think there's a bit of I don't want 1:27:19.680 --> 1:27:22.120 to say it's not fudging of the figures, but the 1:27:22.160 --> 1:27:25.240 government's got lucky here because more people are leaving Australia 1:27:25.280 --> 1:27:26.360 from what I could see. 1:27:27.120 --> 1:27:31.040 Yeah, yeah, So Thistramioatistics release the official population data for 1:27:31.160 --> 1:27:33.320 the fourth quarter of twenty twenty four and it showed 1:27:33.360 --> 1:27:37.080 that both immigration and population growth continue to ease back 1:27:37.120 --> 1:27:41.559 from their post pandemic extreme levels. So over the year, 1:27:41.760 --> 1:27:44.120 so this is twenty twenty four, austraight as population grew 1:27:44.160 --> 1:27:47.080 by about four hundred and forty six thousand. So it's 1:27:47.120 --> 1:27:49.240 basically a camera. So we added a camera in one 1:27:49.280 --> 1:27:52.080 year and that was driven by net overseas migration of 1:27:52.120 --> 1:27:56.160 about three hundred and forty one thousand. Now this is 1:27:56.200 --> 1:28:00.760 obviously down from about five hundred and fifty odd quite 1:28:00.760 --> 1:28:02.840 a lot net overseas migration, but just to keep it 1:28:02.840 --> 1:28:06.839 in the perspective before the pandemic hit, Australia's single biggest 1:28:06.880 --> 1:28:10.120 year for net overseas migration was just under three hundred 1:28:10.120 --> 1:28:12.519 and sixteen thousand in two thousand and eight, so three 1:28:12.600 --> 1:28:15.320 hundred and forty one thousand still very high historically. 1:28:16.120 --> 1:28:17.240 And just to put some. 1:28:17.280 --> 1:28:19.439 Numbers around you stuff, I was in Queensland. City sales 1:28:19.520 --> 1:28:22.880 grew by one hundred and eight thousand last year and 1:28:22.920 --> 1:28:25.879 that was driven almost one hundred percent by net overseas 1:28:25.920 --> 1:28:28.760 migration of just under one hundred and seven thousand. So 1:28:29.560 --> 1:28:32.320 New South Wales lost about twenty eight thousand people to 1:28:32.360 --> 1:28:36.080 either states, primarily because you've got expensive housing up there, 1:28:37.040 --> 1:28:39.799 and that loss of residents to other states basically offset 1:28:39.880 --> 1:28:43.240 in your net births. Queensland grew by one hundred and 1:28:43.920 --> 1:28:46.160 just under one hundred and three thousand last year, and 1:28:46.160 --> 1:28:49.240 that was driven by NED overseas migration about fifty seven thousand. 1:28:49.640 --> 1:28:52.600 You received about twenty six thousand from other states, and 1:28:52.640 --> 1:28:54.960 you had net verths about twenty thousand. So you know, 1:28:55.320 --> 1:28:58.160 population growth still remains very high, although it is coming 1:28:58.200 --> 1:29:01.320 down now. This is obviously, you know, very good news 1:29:01.360 --> 1:29:03.720 if you're worried about the housing market, because if you've 1:29:03.720 --> 1:29:05.920 got less people coming in, it means less pressure on 1:29:06.000 --> 1:29:08.559 rents and house prizes and that sort of stuff. And 1:29:08.600 --> 1:29:12.760 obviously housing is incredibly expensive, both the purchased and rent 1:29:12.800 --> 1:29:17.519 at the moment, so near historical record highs Now, the 1:29:17.920 --> 1:29:20.400 Federal Budget's forecast that immigration is going to ease back 1:29:20.439 --> 1:29:23.599 to its pre pandemic level by twenty twenty seven, and 1:29:23.680 --> 1:29:26.080 it then forecasts that we're going to have two hundred 1:29:26.120 --> 1:29:28.160 and thirty five thousand NETO of seas migration for the 1:29:28.200 --> 1:29:31.559 next four decades. Now they'll come out and say, look, look, 1:29:31.600 --> 1:29:34.559 see we've halved immigration. But the problem, Luke, is that 1:29:35.200 --> 1:29:38.479 two hundred and thirty five thousand projected net overseas migration 1:29:38.680 --> 1:29:41.720 is still incredibly high and it's going to ensure that 1:29:41.760 --> 1:29:44.360 Australia remains in a permanent housing crisis. And we only 1:29:44.360 --> 1:29:46.200 need to look at the last twenty years of data 1:29:46.600 --> 1:29:50.120 to show why that's the case. So Australia's population growth 1:29:50.960 --> 1:29:53.960 surged after the Big Australia Policy came in and twenty 1:29:54.040 --> 1:29:58.080 years ago, and Australia's netto sas migration more than doubled 1:29:58.160 --> 1:30:00.680 after two thousand and five. So in the sixty years 1:30:00.680 --> 1:30:05.040 following World War Two, Australia's net overseas migration averaged ninety 1:30:05.080 --> 1:30:07.920 thousand per year, and there's only three of those years 1:30:07.960 --> 1:30:10.120 in that sixty years following World War Two that we 1:30:10.160 --> 1:30:12.519 exceeded one hundred and fifty thousand. We didn't exceed it 1:30:12.520 --> 1:30:14.800 by much, but in the last twenty years, and this 1:30:14.840 --> 1:30:18.800 includes the pandemic, Australia's net overseas migrations average two hundred 1:30:18.800 --> 1:30:21.120 and thirty one thousand, so that's one hundred and fifty 1:30:21.120 --> 1:30:23.360 six percent increase on the sixty year average post World 1:30:23.360 --> 1:30:26.479 War Two. And as a result, Australi's population has grown 1:30:26.520 --> 1:30:29.800 by eight point seven million people this century, so since 1:30:29.800 --> 1:30:33.559 the year two thousand, that's that's forty six percent growth 1:30:33.840 --> 1:30:36.439 and that is the strongest growth in the advanced world. 1:30:37.040 --> 1:30:40.840 So this extreme population growth is why we have not 1:30:40.920 --> 1:30:44.320 been able to build enough housing or infrastructure. We've not 1:30:44.439 --> 1:30:46.599 kept up with demand and as a result we've got 1:30:46.600 --> 1:30:51.599 this housing crisis across all the major cities and declining 1:30:51.640 --> 1:30:54.120 libability in our major cities. So I've built nothing infrastructure. 1:30:54.120 --> 1:30:59.719 Everything's getting more crushloaded now. The problem is the housing shorty, 1:31:00.160 --> 1:31:03.559 immigrations coming down, and based on the budget forecast, it's 1:31:03.560 --> 1:31:08.320 still projected to worsen. So recently, Ampchief Economy Shane Oliver 1:31:08.680 --> 1:31:11.800 estimated that Australia's current housing shortages is somewhere between two 1:31:11.880 --> 1:31:15.559 hundred and three hundred thousand homes. And last month, the 1:31:15.560 --> 1:31:18.720 federal government's own advisory council, the National Housing Supply and 1:31:18.720 --> 1:31:22.280 Affordability Council, released their later State of the Housing Report, 1:31:22.360 --> 1:31:26.519 and it forecast that Australia's shortage is going to worsen 1:31:26.560 --> 1:31:29.280 by another seventy nine thousand over the. 1:31:29.160 --> 1:31:29.960 Next five years. 1:31:30.120 --> 1:31:32.879 And what they did was they based their population forecast 1:31:32.960 --> 1:31:36.160 on the Treasury's own forecasts. They just basically grabbed the 1:31:36.160 --> 1:31:38.800 Center for Populations forecasts are based the Budget and inter 1:31:38.920 --> 1:31:42.080 Generational Report, et cetera. And then they worked out what's 1:31:42.080 --> 1:31:44.400 a realistic level of ability and it said we're going 1:31:44.479 --> 1:31:47.320 to come up for seventy nine thousand homes short the 1:31:47.360 --> 1:31:50.200 next five years. So that means our cumulative housing shorge 1:31:50.240 --> 1:31:51.960 is going to increase from where it already is somewhere 1:31:52.000 --> 1:31:54.040 between two hundred and two hundred thousand by another seventy 1:31:54.120 --> 1:31:57.560 nine thousand. But here's a rebblue. The National has in 1:31:57.600 --> 1:32:01.120 Supply and Affordability councils own now sensitivity noalys. 1:32:01.200 --> 1:32:01.920 At the end of the. 1:32:01.920 --> 1:32:05.120 Report, they said that if we cut population growth by 1:32:05.240 --> 1:32:08.120 just fifteen percent, or population growth is fifteen percent less 1:32:08.160 --> 1:32:09.480 than what the government. 1:32:09.120 --> 1:32:11.560 Forecasts, instead of having a shortage. 1:32:11.160 --> 1:32:13.559 Of seventy nine thousand homes over five years, we'd actually 1:32:13.560 --> 1:32:15.400 have a surplus of forty thousand homes. 1:32:15.720 --> 1:32:18.280 That's cutting in by just fifteen percent. 1:32:18.840 --> 1:32:22.040 Fifteen percent, mate, And what that tells you is that 1:32:22.080 --> 1:32:24.719 the primary solution if you want to solve this mess 1:32:25.160 --> 1:32:27.720 is to cut at NAT overseas migration. Obviously you bring 1:32:27.800 --> 1:32:30.080 less people in that they need less housing for them. 1:32:31.160 --> 1:32:32.880 But sadly, Luke, the federal. 1:32:32.600 --> 1:32:36.280 Government has no genuine intention to solve the housing crisis 1:32:36.280 --> 1:32:38.599 because it wants to keep running this big Australia policy. 1:32:38.680 --> 1:32:42.680 And in fact, the Center for Population's own projections, and 1:32:42.720 --> 1:32:44.960 these were released in December twenty twenty four, so they're, 1:32:45.280 --> 1:32:47.479 you know, as current as we've got that's run out 1:32:47.479 --> 1:32:49.680 of the Australian Treasury. They said that we're going to 1:32:49.680 --> 1:32:52.040 grow the population by thirty and a half million people 1:32:52.360 --> 1:32:55.320 in the next forty years. So put that into perspective, 1:32:56.280 --> 1:32:58.559 and that follows obviously eight point seven million so far 1:32:58.600 --> 1:33:02.519 this century. That is equivalent to adding another Sydney, Melbourne 1:33:02.520 --> 1:33:04.200 and Brisbane to the current population. 1:33:04.360 --> 1:33:06.040 So think of all the houses. 1:33:05.640 --> 1:33:07.640 And infrastructure and everything that are in Sydney, Melbourne and 1:33:07.640 --> 1:33:11.240 Brisbane right now, we'd have to replicate that in forty years. 1:33:11.720 --> 1:33:12.599 It's not going to happen. 1:33:13.080 --> 1:33:15.200 And it took Australia one hundred. 1:33:14.920 --> 1:33:18.040 And eighty five years to reach a population. 1:33:17.640 --> 1:33:20.960 Of thirteen point five million in nineteen seventy three. We're 1:33:20.960 --> 1:33:23.800 supposed to add that same amount in just forty years. 1:33:24.200 --> 1:33:28.160 So this just proves that the primary solution to the 1:33:28.200 --> 1:33:31.680 housing crisis is to merely cut immigration back to pre 1:33:31.800 --> 1:33:34.320 two thousand and five historical levels that we had in 1:33:34.320 --> 1:33:36.960 the sixty years post World War Two. And if we 1:33:37.000 --> 1:33:40.320 did that, we would be able to catch up and 1:33:40.360 --> 1:33:44.519 supply of both housing and infrastructure, and we'd have more 1:33:44.560 --> 1:33:48.519 livable cities and I'd our yourso better economy, a more 1:33:48.520 --> 1:33:51.439 diverse by better economy, and everything else that the government 1:33:51.439 --> 1:33:54.160 says around supply and everything, it's all window dressing. The 1:33:54.240 --> 1:33:56.759 number one solution is to stop adding to the problem 1:33:56.760 --> 1:33:58.960 every year but adding hundreds of thousands of extra people 1:33:58.960 --> 1:34:00.880 that meet housing the infrastruy for It's very simple. 1:34:01.200 --> 1:34:04.320 It is very simple. We say that often when you 1:34:04.360 --> 1:34:07.640 and I talk at this time, and you know we 1:34:07.680 --> 1:34:10.800 did get the hope at the election that perhaps something 1:34:10.880 --> 1:34:13.960 might happen, because it's just a no brainer. And even 1:34:13.960 --> 1:34:15.639 if you go back, if you want to be generous 1:34:15.640 --> 1:34:18.240 and go back to before the pandemic, if if you 1:34:18.360 --> 1:34:22.720 believe supply is the issue, you go back before the pandemic. 1:34:23.040 --> 1:34:26.800 The targets that the government are published now it's one 1:34:26.840 --> 1:34:28.960 point two million homes over five years. I think it 1:34:29.040 --> 1:34:31.880 is they would have to that would have to be 1:34:32.479 --> 1:34:36.040 building homes at a rate we've never built homes in 1:34:36.080 --> 1:34:39.080 the history of Australia. Whilst they say at the same 1:34:39.160 --> 1:34:42.360 time there's a labor shortage and the cost of building 1:34:42.400 --> 1:34:45.760 has gone through the roof? Is it is a fantasy? 1:34:46.360 --> 1:34:50.400 Or you could cut net overseas migration by fifteen percent? Hello, 1:34:50.560 --> 1:34:52.600 now mate, do we have a Do we have a 1:34:52.680 --> 1:34:54.320 champion or a clown? This week? 1:34:54.720 --> 1:34:55.360 It's a champion? 1:34:55.680 --> 1:35:03.080 Well, stand by, stand by. This is very very very 1:35:03.120 --> 1:35:06.360 good news because you know, we'd like to point out 1:35:06.640 --> 1:35:10.560 the wrongs, but we also like to reward the excellence. 1:35:10.560 --> 1:35:12.000 So who's a champion? Mate? 1:35:12.360 --> 1:35:15.639 Okay, So this week's champion is US energy expert Robert 1:35:15.640 --> 1:35:19.800 Bryce So he's a US energy expert who's testified before 1:35:19.800 --> 1:35:22.280 the US Congress and then done energy. He wrote for 1:35:22.320 --> 1:35:25.360 the Wall Street Journal. And you know, Robert Bryce is 1:35:25.439 --> 1:35:28.080 visited Australia and he's dropped some truth bombs in Australia's 1:35:28.080 --> 1:35:31.280 and net zero fantasy, which he described as quote madness 1:35:31.280 --> 1:35:34.880 and reckless. So Bryce told two GB's own ben Forden 1:35:35.760 --> 1:35:38.479 fact that Australia is a quote energy superpower, but we 1:35:38.520 --> 1:35:42.519 act like a quote energy weekly Now he liked me. 1:35:43.240 --> 1:35:46.760 Questioned why Australia exports He says seven times more coal 1:35:47.000 --> 1:35:50.240 than it consumes, yet we are blowing up our coal plants. 1:35:50.400 --> 1:35:53.240 A very good question. We also question why we. 1:35:53.240 --> 1:35:57.200 Export many times more gas. So it's about four times 1:35:57.200 --> 1:35:59.880 more gas than we use locally, but we deny ourselves 1:36:00.320 --> 1:36:03.600 access to cheap and abundant gas. He also said that 1:36:03.640 --> 1:36:07.479 Australia's position on nuclear power is completely contradictory, and that 1:36:07.520 --> 1:36:10.120 we are logical to say yes to net zero and 1:36:10.200 --> 1:36:13.000 no to nuclear power when Australia holds nearly a third 1:36:13.040 --> 1:36:16.599 of the world's uranium reserves, and he likened Australia's energy 1:36:16.600 --> 1:36:20.160 policy stands to Saudi Arabia refusing to use its own oil, 1:36:20.400 --> 1:36:23.240 and he described us as the Saudi Arabia the southern hemisphere, 1:36:23.640 --> 1:36:25.959 and he said, you know, could you imagine a situation 1:36:26.000 --> 1:36:28.840 whereby the Saudis deny themselves the use of their own 1:36:28.840 --> 1:36:30.320 oil while they exported to the. 1:36:30.240 --> 1:36:32.560 Rest of the world, which is effectively. 1:36:32.120 --> 1:36:35.920 What we're doing with coal and gas. And he also 1:36:35.960 --> 1:36:38.559 said that Australias and zero ambitions are futile and won't 1:36:38.600 --> 1:36:41.280 make any difference to the global climate, but are going 1:36:41.280 --> 1:36:42.680 to come at a very high cost to our. 1:36:42.600 --> 1:36:43.479 Own regis residence. 1:36:43.479 --> 1:36:45.439 So he said that Australian emissions have gone down from 1:36:45.439 --> 1:36:48.240 about one and a half percent to one percent of 1:36:48.920 --> 1:36:52.679 the global total emissions. Meanwhile, China and India have gone 1:36:52.720 --> 1:36:54.680 to about forty percent of the total emissions and their 1:36:54.720 --> 1:36:59.040 emissions are skyrocketing. So he basically said Australia should quote 1:36:59.040 --> 1:37:02.800 stop doing stupid things such as shutting down coal plans prematurely, 1:37:03.520 --> 1:37:07.200 and that our power prices are skyrocking you to the 1:37:07.200 --> 1:37:10.599 detriment of the poor and working class. And of course, 1:37:10.800 --> 1:37:14.599 you know, everyone knows that these views obviously mirror my own, 1:37:14.640 --> 1:37:18.120 so that's why I obviously support it. But my constant 1:37:19.800 --> 1:37:22.559 ramblings are that Australia should give itself cheap and reliable 1:37:22.640 --> 1:37:25.479 energy by book burning more of its coal at home 1:37:25.560 --> 1:37:28.800 and exporting a bit less. Same with gas yep. And 1:37:28.880 --> 1:37:31.160 that's what the global quim would be. No worse yep 1:37:31.560 --> 1:37:33.960 and worse off, but we'd have cheap and abuton energy. 1:37:34.080 --> 1:37:35.080 It's just common sense. 1:37:35.200 --> 1:37:38.559 It's just common sense. Great stuff, mate, Stay well. I'm 1:37:38.560 --> 1:37:40.360 happy in a couple of weeks break, but I'll talk 1:37:40.400 --> 1:37:44.200 to you on my return. And thanks for jumping on 1:37:44.240 --> 1:37:46.680 each week. We love your work mate, Stay well. Lead 1:37:46.760 --> 1:37:49.800 than ontol and macrobusiness dot com dot a you twenty 1:37:49.840 --> 1:37:52.280 four to midday it is time to check out all 1:37:52.360 --> 1:37:55.120 the sport or the racing this weekend. We do that 1:37:55.160 --> 1:37:59.360 with Glenn Munsey from Ladbrogs, who joins us on the line. 1:37:59.400 --> 1:37:59.920 How are you going. 1:38:01.080 --> 1:38:03.480 I'm fantastic, Luke and yourself. 1:38:03.520 --> 1:38:06.240 Just fine, my friend, just fine. We've got plenty of 1:38:06.680 --> 1:38:11.280 NRL action today. Penrith outside is against the Warriors and 1:38:11.360 --> 1:38:14.679 I understand why Ivan Cleary and I think that one 1:38:14.720 --> 1:38:19.160 Warriors player on fronting today to fly from Perth back 1:38:19.200 --> 1:38:22.080 to all the way back to New Zealand after the 1:38:22.120 --> 1:38:24.160 origin and it's a long way to go, isn't it. 1:38:24.800 --> 1:38:25.000 Yeah. 1:38:25.040 --> 1:38:26.920 I don't think you'll find any of the Penrith Origin 1:38:26.960 --> 1:38:29.760 players are going to take part for Penrith today. That's 1:38:29.760 --> 1:38:33.439 why there's such massive outsiders to the Warriors. This match 1:38:33.439 --> 1:38:36.559 at three o'clock in Auckland, the Warriors won twenty two 1:38:36.600 --> 1:38:39.880 Penrith at four dollars and forty cents thirteen and a 1:38:39.880 --> 1:38:43.080 half the line going to Penrith there forty five and 1:38:43.120 --> 1:38:45.920 a half the over. Under this stage, Warriors third on 1:38:45.920 --> 1:38:48.479 the premiership table in Penrith. For still a lot of 1:38:48.479 --> 1:38:50.360 people saying if they make the eight, they're going to 1:38:50.360 --> 1:38:52.240 be competitive because they're too good. We'll have one of 1:38:52.240 --> 1:38:55.360 the last four competitions, so don't write them off at all. 1:38:55.560 --> 1:38:56.479 That's at three o'clock. 1:38:56.479 --> 1:38:59.040 At five thirty we're back in Perth again. So Perth 1:38:59.120 --> 1:39:01.599 men are very very busy. We had the Origin their 1:39:01.640 --> 1:39:04.599 Wednesday night, we had the AFL Thursday night and we've 1:39:04.640 --> 1:39:07.200 got the Dolphins playing Newcastle night. 1:39:07.400 --> 1:39:08.120 Carlin Ponger is. 1:39:08.160 --> 1:39:10.200 Very very happy he didn't have to leave person to 1:39:10.320 --> 1:39:13.519 come home. The Dolphins here won twenty five. They scored 1:39:13.760 --> 1:39:16.200 nearly one hundred and sixty points in their last three 1:39:16.240 --> 1:39:19.200 matches the Dolphins there one twenty five favorites over in 1:39:19.280 --> 1:39:22.320 Newcastle who were four dollars outsiders, twelve and a half 1:39:22.400 --> 1:39:24.360 the line there and forty seven and a half the 1:39:24.439 --> 1:39:27.080 over under. Then at seven thirty to night at Homebush 1:39:27.160 --> 1:39:31.679 South's take on Melbourne and Craig Bellamy takes this incredible record, 1:39:31.920 --> 1:39:34.280 having defeated Wayne Bennett. I think it's the last fourteen 1:39:34.400 --> 1:39:38.040 or so times they've coached against each other South Southsiders 1:39:38.040 --> 1:39:41.840 here latrelle is backing up for Souths and Keyon Kalamatangi 1:39:42.400 --> 1:39:45.320 because they had with a fractured eye socket last week, 1:39:45.479 --> 1:39:50.400 is definitely playing for Souths. Don't say they haven't got carriage. 1:39:50.439 --> 1:39:54.080 These footballers four ten outside of Souths. Melbourne favorites at 1:39:54.120 --> 1:39:56.599 one twenty four, twelve and a half the line there 1:39:56.600 --> 1:39:58.960 and forty eight and a half the over under. Of course, 1:39:59.000 --> 1:40:01.360 the Continuous Call team covering all these matches as well 1:40:01.360 --> 1:40:04.720 as the Sunday games, Brisbane favorite over Cronulla. We've got 1:40:04.720 --> 1:40:08.120 the Roosters favorite over the Cowboys and Paramatta outsiders. 1:40:08.400 --> 1:40:09.920 To the Gold Coast there. 1:40:09.960 --> 1:40:12.680 Canterbury, Manly and the Saint George Lawa Dragons all having 1:40:12.720 --> 1:40:15.440 to buy and the market up already for Origin three 1:40:16.160 --> 1:40:18.920 July eleven at home Bush, New South Wales one forty 1:40:18.920 --> 1:40:21.559 two Queensland two ninety seven and a half the line 1:40:21.560 --> 1:40:24.439 there and it's down to being a decider and it 1:40:24.479 --> 1:40:25.920 should be a packed house at homebook. 1:40:26.120 --> 1:40:29.639 You know what made that's south Ford Kalamatangi folk said 1:40:29.640 --> 1:40:32.479 that right. Yeah for me, he's he's got to be 1:40:32.520 --> 1:40:35.639 handed a Blues jersey before game three, don't you think? 1:40:36.680 --> 1:40:37.360 Well, the way that. 1:40:37.320 --> 1:40:40.799 He's since wayn' been. Now the difference here in rugby 1:40:40.880 --> 1:40:44.120 league in twenty twenty five, you're not a front rower 1:40:44.200 --> 1:40:46.519 or a second rower or a lock forward. You're either 1:40:46.560 --> 1:40:50.120 a middle forward, an edge forward or a back. And 1:40:50.160 --> 1:40:52.640 he's moved from the edge where he played wide, so 1:40:53.080 --> 1:40:55.720 you know, getting the ball two passes off the ruck 1:40:56.200 --> 1:40:58.519 now he's getting the ball from the dummy half and 1:40:58.520 --> 1:41:00.519 he's in the middle of the field. And he's been 1:41:00.640 --> 1:41:04.160 exceptional for South over the last three games having moved 1:41:04.160 --> 1:41:07.240 back into the middle there. He already has represented New 1:41:07.240 --> 1:41:10.520 South Wales a couple of seasons ago. Key On kaloa mctangney, 1:41:10.840 --> 1:41:14.160 former Mascot junior the Mascot Jets near the Mighty mascot 1:41:14.240 --> 1:41:16.040 Jets who I've played for all the way back in 1:41:16.120 --> 1:41:17.120 nineteen sixty seven. 1:41:17.240 --> 1:41:19.759 Yere they still talk about you.

So thanks to Domain. The national 1:42:40.680 --> 1:42:44.679 Property editor at Domain, Alice Stoles, is with us again 1:42:45.640 --> 1:42:46.240 this morning. 1:42:46.600 --> 1:42:48.800 Get a Alice, good morning. 1:42:48.840 --> 1:42:50.200 We're great to be with you. 1:42:50.280 --> 1:42:52.479 Nice to talk to you again. So much to get 1:42:52.520 --> 1:42:55.519 through today. I guess we should begin where we normally do, 1:42:55.600 --> 1:42:58.840 with a look at what's happening in both Sydney and 1:42:58.920 --> 1:43:01.880 Brisbane in terms of auctions. Big numbers are they. 1:43:03.200 --> 1:43:05.519 Indeed, well a little bit of a dip today in 1:43:05.600 --> 1:43:09.000 Sydney six hundred and sixty nine houses are going under 1:43:09.040 --> 1:43:10.960 the hammer, a bit of a dip from last week. 1:43:11.000 --> 1:43:14.040 And in Brisbane we're saying eighty seven auctions today, so 1:43:14.080 --> 1:43:16.640 not bad options for Brisbane. And when we look at 1:43:16.640 --> 1:43:19.240 what happened last week, Luke, you know we talked about 1:43:19.280 --> 1:43:21.879 those huge numbers in Sydney last week and the clearance 1:43:21.960 --> 1:43:25.559 rate came in at sixty nine percent in Sydney last week, 1:43:25.600 --> 1:43:29.479 and that was with all that volume, nearly seventy percent 1:43:29.520 --> 1:43:33.080 of stock was actually cleared, so pretty yet again an 1:43:33.240 --> 1:43:37.240 encouraging result for sellers in Sydney. Now, Brisbane came in 1:43:37.280 --> 1:43:41.160 at forty five percent last weekend, which which is pretty 1:43:41.240 --> 1:43:43.120 much in the in the realm of what they often 1:43:43.160 --> 1:43:45.280 see week to week in the Brisbane market. 1:43:45.720 --> 1:43:47.920 So let's have a look at the expensive sales and 1:43:48.040 --> 1:43:52.519 the best buyers from last weekend. We can start with Sydney. 1:43:52.560 --> 1:43:54.440 If you like an East Lindfield. 1:43:55.560 --> 1:43:58.960 Yeah, lovely, beautifully renovation house in East Lynnfield sold at 1:43:58.960 --> 1:44:02.320 auctions for fiveero point three million dollars. Now, this is 1:44:02.360 --> 1:44:04.760 a great example here. It's got five bed, four bath 1:44:05.040 --> 1:44:07.599 but it's just that sort of turn key home. Look, 1:44:07.640 --> 1:44:09.160 can you kind of look at it? And I'm sure 1:44:09.160 --> 1:44:12.960 these buyers thought nothing to do here except workout what 1:44:13.040 --> 1:44:15.000 side of the you know what side of the bathroom 1:44:15.040 --> 1:44:18.479 cabinet I'll put my toothbrush. And we increasingly see many 1:44:18.560 --> 1:44:22.280 buyers just wanting that desirabiloship of product that's ready to go. 1:44:22.680 --> 1:44:24.920 Clearly that worked in the favor of that vendor last 1:44:24.960 --> 1:44:28.320 weekend and in Annelie in Brisbane. A lovely sort of 1:44:28.400 --> 1:44:30.400 quite a period old house, but it's kind of a 1:44:30.439 --> 1:44:33.080 lovely old Queenslander style sold at. 1:44:32.960 --> 1:44:36.040 Auction last weekend in the Brisbane market. 1:44:36.240 --> 1:44:39.479 And came in at one point eight eight five million dollars. 1:44:39.680 --> 1:44:42.639 Gee, you know that interesting. When we bought our place, 1:44:43.320 --> 1:44:45.160 we thought we were buying something we'd have to do 1:44:45.240 --> 1:44:49.519 nothing too, until we've spent a fortnight there and then thought, 1:44:49.560 --> 1:44:53.240 you know what, a very it's a great sentiment, and 1:44:53.280 --> 1:44:55.960 you're prepared to pay a bit more because you have 1:44:56.120 --> 1:44:59.639 to do nothing, or so you think, until you're there 1:44:59.680 --> 1:45:02.280 for couple of weeks ago, you know what. Anyway, just 1:45:02.320 --> 1:45:03.360 an observation from me. 1:45:03.479 --> 1:45:05.439 No, but that's so true, Luke, and I think it's 1:45:05.439 --> 1:45:07.600 a good anxiety. It's a good thing for buyers to 1:45:07.600 --> 1:45:10.240 be aware of, Like, don't be too lured by or 1:45:10.320 --> 1:45:13.800 dazzled by, you know, lovely, freshly painted homes where there 1:45:13.920 --> 1:45:16.360 it actually is sort of under the surface things that 1:45:16.400 --> 1:45:16.800 they're doing. 1:45:16.840 --> 1:45:18.120 I guess that's also why. 1:45:18.080 --> 1:45:19.840 I'm not saying you didn't, but you should do your 1:45:19.880 --> 1:45:22.280 due diligence and have a building inspection done. That sort 1:45:22.320 --> 1:45:24.559 of thing just to ensure this is just not a 1:45:24.640 --> 1:45:27.800 vanity sort of spacelift and it is actually sort of 1:45:27.800 --> 1:45:29.000 structurally in sound as well. 1:45:29.120 --> 1:45:31.800 Yes, spot on best buyers from last week. 1:45:33.320 --> 1:45:35.640 Yeah, look in Sydney an interesting one. It was a 1:45:35.640 --> 1:45:38.840 townhouse in Preston's Now this sold for This was three 1:45:38.880 --> 1:45:42.360 bedrooms and it sold for eight hundred and five thousand dollars. Now, 1:45:42.520 --> 1:45:44.200 I think it's fair to say we very rarely have 1:45:44.240 --> 1:45:46.800 a three bedroom property in Sydney go for eight hundred 1:45:46.840 --> 1:45:49.880 and five thousand, but that did indeed take place last weekend, 1:45:49.880 --> 1:45:53.439 a little townhouse. And again the desirability of these at 1:45:53.439 --> 1:45:56.960 the prices, particularly for first home buyers, remains quite high 1:45:56.960 --> 1:45:59.519 at the moment given where house prices are going, which 1:45:59.560 --> 1:46:00.120 we can talk. 1:46:00.240 --> 1:46:00.679 In a bit. 1:46:01.560 --> 1:46:04.719 And in Brisbane there was a house in Logan Reserves. 1:46:04.720 --> 1:46:07.719 It sold for eight hundred thousand dollars for bed property 1:46:07.720 --> 1:46:09.800 and that was the best buy there. So yet again 1:46:09.920 --> 1:46:13.679 that Brisbane market basically on par with Sydney last week 1:46:13.720 --> 1:46:16.559 compared to the most affordable property for sale there. 1:46:16.720 --> 1:46:20.120 Now. This week Domain release gives price forecast report predicting 1:46:20.160 --> 1:46:22.920 what the property market would look like in the next year. 1:46:22.960 --> 1:46:24.200 What were the findings. 1:46:25.840 --> 1:46:28.360 Yeah, look, it's it's pretty eigh watering stuff, particularly if 1:46:28.360 --> 1:46:30.639 you're a first time buyer. The news is not great. 1:46:30.840 --> 1:46:33.720 Property prices are expected to grow around seven percent in 1:46:33.800 --> 1:46:37.080 the Sydney market over the year ahead and five percent 1:46:37.200 --> 1:46:39.920 in the Brisbane market. Now again there's this sort of 1:46:39.920 --> 1:46:43.120 contrarian situation here, because it's great news if you're a homeowner, 1:46:43.160 --> 1:46:46.240 they'll be delight should no doubt with seeing more growth 1:46:46.520 --> 1:46:50.120 realized in their neighborhood. However, again that challenge for first 1:46:50.120 --> 1:46:52.960 home buyers because what it means is in Sydney we 1:46:53.040 --> 1:46:56.120 may well crack one point eight three million dollars for 1:46:56.200 --> 1:46:59.400 the medium the average past price in the Sydney market. 1:46:59.680 --> 1:47:03.080 The markets likely just to sort of just touch one 1:47:03.080 --> 1:47:06.679 point one million dollars. So it's an interesting conundrum because, 1:47:06.680 --> 1:47:08.600 as I said, for some people it's going to be 1:47:08.680 --> 1:47:11.280 very welcome news, but for others it just makes that 1:47:11.760 --> 1:47:14.200 so much more challenging than ability to get into the market. 1:47:14.640 --> 1:47:20.400 Yeah, gosh, wow. Now, I always like these conversations talking 1:47:20.439 --> 1:47:24.559 here about tree change towns, and we hear from time 1:47:24.600 --> 1:47:28.000 to time suggestions of you know, what the hot tree 1:47:28.080 --> 1:47:32.599 change places are, And there's some interesting work from domain 1:47:32.680 --> 1:47:33.479 tell me about this. 1:47:35.000 --> 1:47:37.840 Yeah, Look, tree changes obviously a hugely hot topic a 1:47:37.840 --> 1:47:40.000 few years ago when people were sort of taking them 1:47:40.080 --> 1:47:43.000 during the COVID period. And what we've seen though is 1:47:43.000 --> 1:47:46.479 we saw really sort of turbocharged rises take place during 1:47:46.520 --> 1:47:49.080 those years and then many of them drop back again. 1:47:49.320 --> 1:47:50.960 But what we've done is actually look at the ones 1:47:51.000 --> 1:47:54.000 who have kind of sort of remain managed to last 1:47:54.040 --> 1:47:56.160 the distance. I guess they weren't kind of one hit 1:47:56.240 --> 1:47:59.479 wonders now. Leading that is of no surprise to probably 1:47:59.479 --> 1:48:02.320 many people was Byron Bay. Now, you know in March 1:48:02.360 --> 1:48:05.160 twenty twenty that was around nine hundred and thirty thousand 1:48:05.240 --> 1:48:08.439 dollars and now in March twenty twenty five hit one 1:48:08.520 --> 1:48:12.479 point six million dollars, So it's a seventy percent rise 1:48:12.560 --> 1:48:15.880 in that region. They're similar for Kyamara in your South 1:48:15.880 --> 1:48:19.840 Wales up sixty nine percent, and again and Queensland. We 1:48:19.920 --> 1:48:22.320 saw it happen in NUSA, you know in March. This 1:48:22.400 --> 1:48:25.000 is hard to imagine. In March twenty twenty, look, seven 1:48:25.080 --> 1:48:27.160 hundred and fifty thousand dollars was a meeting house price 1:48:27.200 --> 1:48:30.880 in NUSA. Now it's one point two seven five million dollars. 1:48:31.160 --> 1:48:35.240 So nuts just how long hoirable those areas have remained. 1:48:35.479 --> 1:48:40.680 And that's it, the desirable did you say lifestyle locations. 1:48:41.600 --> 1:48:42.559 That's what it is. 1:48:42.600 --> 1:48:44.920 And part of the appeal of them is because it 1:48:44.960 --> 1:48:47.160 has this, I guess, the best of both words. You've 1:48:47.200 --> 1:48:48.840 got a lovely sort of it feels a bit like 1:48:48.880 --> 1:48:52.360 you're sort of regional, but you have usually a sort 1:48:52.360 --> 1:48:55.280 of wonderful community there, a very beautiful area if you 1:48:55.280 --> 1:48:58.120 want to rent it out, it's very highly desirable.

We might start at the Rocks in Sydney. 1:50:12.280 --> 1:50:17.439 Okay, we're going up market today. Luke a triple level penthouse. Now, 1:50:17.479 --> 1:50:19.879 it's called the sky House. It's in the Harry Seidler 1:50:20.000 --> 1:50:22.519 Design Cove building down by the Rocks. 1:50:22.960 --> 1:50:25.400 And this is like nothing I've ever seen before. 1:50:25.439 --> 1:50:30.439 It's got five supersized bedrooms, seven bathrooms and it's spread 1:50:30.479 --> 1:50:33.040 over nearly seven hundred square meters. 1:50:33.160 --> 1:50:34.200 So when they. 1:50:34.120 --> 1:50:36.320 Say this is an apartment, I mean this is kind 1:50:36.360 --> 1:50:39.080 of like a sort of a super sized apartment. 1:50:39.120 --> 1:50:42.439 I guess. It has a private internnel lift across all 1:50:42.479 --> 1:50:43.040 three floors. 1:50:43.080 --> 1:50:45.000 In case you're worried about how many steps you're going 1:50:45.040 --> 1:50:47.559 to clock up throughout the day, a self contained little 1:50:47.600 --> 1:50:49.680 wing for nanny or a guest ring with its own 1:50:49.680 --> 1:50:54.840 private entrance, goneway, kitchen, butler's pantry, and this incredible rooftop 1:50:54.960 --> 1:50:57.080 terrace that was inspired by a super yacht. 1:50:57.080 --> 1:50:57.759 Would you believe? 1:50:58.120 --> 1:50:58.360 Now? 1:50:58.400 --> 1:51:00.720 If this is all sounding pretty good, have to have 1:51:00.920 --> 1:51:01.559 water caution. 1:51:01.720 --> 1:51:04.760 The price guide for it is thirty million. 1:51:04.680 --> 1:51:10.479 Dollars right, you had me up until it Isn't It 1:51:10.600 --> 1:51:11.240 just nuts though? 1:51:11.320 --> 1:51:14.280 To think just how expensive decent the places are. 1:51:14.400 --> 1:51:15.639 I mean, it's just mind boggling. 1:51:15.760 --> 1:51:18.160 But I guess it shows the strength of the Australian 1:51:18.200 --> 1:51:22.160 property market that those these places do turn over, would 1:51:22.200 --> 1:51:25.080 you believe? But a bit something a little bit different 1:51:25.080 --> 1:51:26.320 also import Douglas today. 1:51:26.360 --> 1:51:28.280 This is now, I've got the pictures of this place 1:51:28.320 --> 1:51:30.679 in front of me, and this is this also. 1:51:31.800 --> 1:51:36.280 Wow, it's beautiful, isn't it, Luke? And I mean this location, 1:51:37.360 --> 1:51:39.479 how lucky we in Australia have spots like this. It's 1:51:39.479 --> 1:51:42.439 basically on that island point of flag Stuff Hill and 1:51:42.479 --> 1:51:46.120 it's this beautiful architectural home, a saltwater pool with year 1:51:46.160 --> 1:51:50.559 round temperature control, and this incredibly modern house inside and 1:51:51.040 --> 1:51:53.760 it's had a complete revamp. The owners have obviously gone 1:51:53.880 --> 1:51:56.880 all out and have thrown a lot of Italian marble 1:51:56.960 --> 1:51:59.799 and Morano chandeliers at it, so it kind of almost 1:51:59.840 --> 1:52:03.400 is reflective of the bright colors of the Great beerrier 1:52:03.760 --> 1:52:04.880 inside this house. 1:52:04.960 --> 1:52:06.760 But I've got to say I'd just be happy in 1:52:06.800 --> 1:52:07.439 that garden there. 1:52:07.439 --> 1:52:11.599 Apparently it's got some three thousand newly planted orchids in 1:52:11.640 --> 1:52:13.880 the garden, with these beautiful tropical. 1:52:14.000 --> 1:52:15.679 Flowers all over that estate. 1:52:15.720 --> 1:52:18.519 Now that one's on the market for six million dollars, 1:52:18.600 --> 1:52:20.800 So I mean, I'm not really bringing much to the 1:52:20.880 --> 1:52:22.760 affordability today. 1:52:22.960 --> 1:52:25.040 But perhaps next week I will. 1:52:25.080 --> 1:52:26.640 But I do think it's important to sort of have 1:52:26.640 --> 1:52:29.839 a bit of inspiration every now and then of just thinking, gosh, 1:52:29.840 --> 1:52:31.639 we live in a pretty spectacular country. 1:52:31.680 --> 1:52:34.840 We do get an expensive one some porus point. 1:52:35.040 --> 1:52:40.040 Yeah, So there's two thousand square meters, three levels, indeed, 1:52:40.360 --> 1:52:44.720 and it's six million plus and you've got the all 1:52:44.800 --> 1:52:47.879 round heated pool and all the other things, or an apartment. 1:52:48.360 --> 1:52:48.720 I'm going it. 1:52:48.760 --> 1:52:51.519 Walked to that four mile beach, which I just think 1:52:51.640 --> 1:52:54.080 you can getting up there each day and toodling on 1:52:54.160 --> 1:52:55.040 down there, and. 1:52:55.680 --> 1:52:57.200 Got a bit of a dip in the morning there. 1:52:57.280 --> 1:53:00.080 You know, without being critical, it's a shame that the 1:53:00.120 --> 1:53:04.400 pictures of the Port Douglas property aren't a little more 1:53:04.479 --> 1:53:09.360 warm than just the white timberfore tile. Look, you know, 1:53:09.640 --> 1:53:12.360 even the bookshelves put some bloody books in them. 1:53:12.800 --> 1:53:15.760 It's so interestingly because I mean, people obviously try to 1:53:15.760 --> 1:53:18.240 appeal to a broader pull the buys, and I agree 1:53:18.240 --> 1:53:20.720 with you personally that when people add that little bit 1:53:20.720 --> 1:53:23.400 of character and uniqueness to a property, it makes you 1:53:23.600 --> 1:53:25.920 I think it's easier to sort of understand living in 1:53:25.960 --> 1:53:26.560 a place like that. 1:53:26.760 --> 1:53:28.479 Yes, you can picture yourself there, can't you. 1:53:29.120 --> 1:53:31.599 That's right. But but meant more and more people are 1:53:31.640 --> 1:53:34.760 offering very homogenized homes, so I always encourage people to 1:53:34.760 --> 1:53:35.160 sort of. 1:53:35.680 --> 1:53:37.560 Stand out in a gentle way. 1:53:37.360 --> 1:53:39.880 To sort of make it look like a warm, emotionally 1:53:40.080 --> 1:53:41.720 kind of charged house that you're going to have a 1:53:41.720 --> 1:53:42.799 lovely life potentially. 1:53:43.240 --> 1:53:47.360 Yeah. Absolutely, all right, Alice, have a wonderful weekend. Great 1:53:47.400 --> 1:53:49.400 to chat to you again. That was terrific Today. I'm 1:53:49.479 --> 1:53:51.880 having a couple of weeks off, but I'll I'll write 1:53:51.920 --> 1:53:54.920 heume our conversations. They'll continue on the show, but we'll 1:53:54.920 --> 1:53:56.719 talk again. In a few weeks. Stay well. 1:53:57.640 --> 1:53:59.320 Thank you, Luke Likewise. 1:53:59.200 --> 1:54:02.800 National property editor at Domain, Alice Stoles. Yeah. I mean 1:54:03.880 --> 1:54:07.599 we love chatting to Alice each week. But I don't 1:54:07.640 --> 1:54:11.760 know anyone that says, hey, let's get let's get ten 1:54:11.920 --> 1:54:15.160 or twelve or fifteen bookshelves, paint them white and leave 1:54:15.200 --> 1:54:19.240 them empty. I don't want to be critical, but you 1:54:19.280 --> 1:54:21.920 want to almost have some idea of what your stuff 1:54:22.000 --> 1:54:25.400 might look like. Or I don't know, maybe maybe I'm 1:54:26.200 --> 1:54:29.240 what I'm sounding like the old blog on the radio again, 1:54:29.400 --> 1:54:35.520 damn it not right? One three one eight seven three 1:54:35.600 --> 1:54:37.839 is the open line number. We're getting close to midday. 1:54:37.960 --> 1:54:41.000 After the midday news, Craig Bennett will be here the 1:54:41.040 --> 1:54:44.400 life and times of Judy Garland, who we lost on 1:54:44.440 --> 1:54:49.160 this weekend fifty six years ago. I want to play 1:54:49.240 --> 1:54:51.680 some super Tramp. We always like to play a song 1:54:51.760 --> 1:54:53.960 on the on the show, so we'll do that and 1:54:54.000 --> 1:54:56.400 we'll check him with the continuous call team. Mark leaves 1:54:56.480 --> 1:55:14.760 in the house. All that. After the news across Australia, 1:55:14.880 --> 1:55:20.720 it's back to weekends. We'll look grand, good afternoon. Great 1:55:20.760 --> 1:55:22.960 to be with you on this Saturday, the twenty first 1:55:23.000 --> 1:55:26.960 of June. I always during our midday news during the 1:55:26.960 --> 1:55:30.120 footy season, I like to go looking for the big man. 1:55:30.760 --> 1:55:34.360 I can tell you he's here. He's in great form, 1:55:34.400 --> 1:55:37.200 and he'll be part of the continuous call team along 1:55:37.240 --> 1:55:42.000 with Goo Fergo and Mark Lee. After our next news break. 1:55:42.000 --> 1:55:44.680 We'll check in with Mark a little later on in 1:55:44.720 --> 1:55:48.120 the hour. And look, don't forget this is a significant 1:55:48.160 --> 1:55:51.960 hour today, not that it's not on other days, but 1:55:52.000 --> 1:55:55.840 it's even more significant today because, as we mentioned earlier 1:55:55.880 --> 1:56:00.920 in the program, winter solstice, So this is the day 1:56:01.040 --> 1:56:06.520 where the tilt has us in the Southern hemisphere as 1:56:06.560 --> 1:56:10.560 far as we ever are from the sun. So they, 1:56:10.760 --> 1:56:13.880 I think, often refer to this as the shortest day 1:56:14.520 --> 1:56:17.160 of the year, not that it's less than twenty four hours, 1:56:17.200 --> 1:56:21.320 but it's the lowest level or the lowest amount of sunlight. 1:56:21.960 --> 1:56:27.520 The exact moment the Southern hemisphere is at furthest tilt 1:56:28.440 --> 1:56:34.400 or what I and other solstice a scholars refer to 1:56:34.440 --> 1:56:40.920 as the solstice tilt is twelve forty two. Twelve forty two, 1:56:41.000 --> 1:56:44.760 So that's this our eighteen to one o'clock, and we 1:56:44.800 --> 1:56:49.200 want to celebrate that together. I'm just I don't know 1:56:49.200 --> 1:56:51.360 if I'll be at that time talking to Craig I 1:56:51.440 --> 1:56:55.000 probably will be, and I don't want to necessarily interrupt him. 1:56:55.160 --> 1:57:00.240 I want to come up with a sound that enables 1:57:00.080 --> 1:57:03.280 us to let everyone know that, you know, it's that 1:57:03.440 --> 1:57:09.360 time went to a solstice as us in the saltless business. 1:57:10.200 --> 1:57:12.040 I like to call it. That's we can get the 1:57:13.680 --> 1:57:18.959 Has anyone seen the studio goat? I'm going away this weekend, 1:57:19.040 --> 1:57:22.480 and who's going to look after that when I'm not here? 1:57:23.120 --> 1:57:29.040 We need someone with plenty of time in their hands. There, 1:57:29.080 --> 1:57:34.120 It is right. I shouldn't have done this on air. 1:57:34.160 --> 1:57:38.800 I should have found it off here and spoken to it. Look, 1:57:38.840 --> 1:57:44.480 studio Goat, while you're there, we need someone. We need 1:57:44.520 --> 1:57:48.560 someone to look after you while I'm away. So I'll 1:57:48.560 --> 1:57:50.960 give you the choice of Now, let's think about this, 1:57:51.080 --> 1:57:53.360 and we don't want to get ourselves offside with anyone. 1:57:54.440 --> 1:57:56.720 We need people with plenty of time in their hands. 1:57:57.560 --> 1:58:08.000 So I'm thinking Liam McGuire, ben zp. Tom Malone, Managing 1:58:08.040 --> 1:58:15.600 director of nine Radio. Okay, apparently it won't be trom 1:58:15.640 --> 1:58:22.320 alone fair enough? Anyone else? What about Clinton? Clinton Maynard 1:58:22.320 --> 1:58:28.120 who told me yesterday? Okay, Clinton's okay, great? Clinton told 1:58:28.120 --> 1:58:32.120 me yesterday when I spoke to him, he was displeased 1:58:32.240 --> 1:58:38.000 with his daughters because they wash their clothing every day, 1:58:38.080 --> 1:58:39.520 so they were it on the day. Then they put 1:58:39.560 --> 1:58:42.440 it out to wash, and he said that was overdoing it. 1:58:43.400 --> 1:58:44.680 And he says, you should be able to get a 1:58:44.720 --> 1:58:49.080 couple of days out of your clothing. Who thinks that's okay. 1:58:49.800 --> 1:58:54.520 I'm worried that he might just not treat the studio 1:58:54.600 --> 1:58:58.360 gat with the respected sew. Anyway, that's what's happening. That 1:58:58.480 --> 1:59:00.040 started with me saying, what are we going to do 1:59:00.200 --> 1:59:04.720 to let you know it's winter solstice time. I'll just 1:59:04.760 --> 1:59:06.600 sit on that for a moment. Not on the studio 1:59:06.680 --> 1:59:10.240 go that would be completely wrong, but on that thought, 1:59:10.320 --> 1:59:12.840 and we'll get back to it. Wow, I was wondering 1:59:12.880 --> 1:59:16.600 how i'd feel that six minutes there you go, this 1:59:17.000 --> 1:59:24.040 is somewhat recent in fact that it was published, and 1:59:24.520 --> 1:59:27.120 thank you for telling me about this. He goes back, 1:59:27.160 --> 1:59:32.920 only a day or two back. Maritime experts believe they've 1:59:33.120 --> 1:59:35.480 finally and I only say that because I thought this 1:59:35.640 --> 1:59:40.080 was solved some time back. Maritime experts believe they're finally 1:59:40.200 --> 1:59:45.720 pinpointed the exact resting place of Captain James Cook's legendary 1:59:45.800 --> 1:59:50.520 ship just off the coast of a US New England 1:59:50.600 --> 1:59:56.080 resort town. A report about HMS Endeavor was published by 1:59:56.080 --> 1:59:59.800 the Australian National Maritime Museum on June three. In s 2:00:00.040 --> 2:00:04.280 venteen seventy eight, the British intentionally sank the ship off 2:00:04.280 --> 2:00:08.840 the coast of Newport, Rhode Island, in a strategic move 2:00:08.920 --> 2:00:12.680 to block French and American attacks. While it's long been 2:00:12.760 --> 2:00:15.800 known that the eighteenth century vessel lies off the coast 2:00:16.320 --> 2:00:22.480 of that state, its exact location has eluded marine historians. 2:00:22.520 --> 2:00:26.200 But now experts are sure that a Rhode Island State 2:00:26.360 --> 2:00:31.400 Archaeological site named ri I two three nine four is 2:00:31.440 --> 2:00:34.560 a final resting place of the ship, and they have 2:00:34.720 --> 2:00:38.839 decades of research to back it up. They've identified Captain 2:00:39.000 --> 2:00:45.760 James Cook's HMS Endeavor off Newport, also known as the 2:00:45.840 --> 2:00:49.560 Kerry Site. The shipwreck is between thirty nine and forty 2:00:49.600 --> 2:00:55.360 three feet underwater. The site includes a linear stone ballast pile, 2:00:56.720 --> 2:01:00.879 the eastern periphery of which features a line of partially 2:01:00.960 --> 2:01:05.440 exposed frame ends that are closely spaced and of substantial size. 2:01:05.480 --> 2:01:10.400 According to a report, four iron cannons are also present 2:01:10.480 --> 2:01:14.120 on the site. Two are largely exposed above the seabed 2:01:14.200 --> 2:01:18.200 and lie immediately adjacent to one another on the western 2:01:18.280 --> 2:01:22.320 side of the site. The site also features remnants of floors, 2:01:23.680 --> 2:01:27.280 a staunchon and a thing called well, I'll spell it 2:01:27.320 --> 2:01:30.520 because I don't know how to say it. F U 2:01:31.880 --> 2:01:38.120 double t ocks? Would that be buttocks? With a F 2:01:39.160 --> 2:01:43.800 it would be? Wouldn't it? Are they really bad buttocks? 2:01:44.640 --> 2:01:49.160 See what it did there? By twenty nineteen, Careful Service 2:01:49.200 --> 2:01:52.680 investigation of wuship wrecks located within the limited study area 2:01:53.120 --> 2:01:57.480 determined that RI two three ninety four most likely candidate 2:01:57.520 --> 2:02:01.440 for the x HMS Endeavor. It meets ten criteria that 2:02:01.520 --> 2:02:04.640 experts previously agreed upon, and there's a whole range of 2:02:04.640 --> 2:02:08.840 things there. The report concluded, RI two three ninety four 2:02:08.880 --> 2:02:13.240 is the largest shipwreck site with the survey area and 2:02:13.360 --> 2:02:20.120 exhibits and attributes that fulfill the criteria. Consequently, the preponderance 2:02:20.160 --> 2:02:25.120 of evidence supports this shipwreck site identification as HMS Endeavor, 2:02:26.240 --> 2:02:28.640 and at the same time discounts any of the other 2:02:28.800 --> 2:02:33.000 investigators shipwreck sites as that of James Cook's renowned ship 2:02:33.280 --> 2:02:38.680 of Exploration. So they're saying we found a baby. Officially, 2:02:38.880 --> 2:02:41.640 as a result, of all of that. One three one 2:02:41.680 --> 2:02:44.480 eight seven three is the app of night number Craig 2:02:44.520 --> 2:02:46.400 Bennett coming up in a moment or two. But this 2:02:46.560 --> 2:02:50.000 is super tramp for the dreamers out there on a Saturday, 2:02:54.040 --> 2:02:58.920 Super tramp dreamer. Eighteen after midday one three, one eight 2:02:59.000 --> 2:03:02.240 seven three is our number here, Craig Bennett coming up 2:03:02.280 --> 2:03:05.600 in a moment or two. But again I reinforced to listeners. 2:03:05.720 --> 2:03:09.960 At twelve forty two. That is this hour. It's the 2:03:10.040 --> 2:03:15.360 exact moment the southern hemisphere has at its furthest tilt 2:03:16.160 --> 2:03:20.880 from the sun. Significant moment in all our lives. It's 2:03:20.920 --> 2:03:25.360 the winter solstice. In terms of what happens at twelve 2:03:25.440 --> 2:03:29.520 forty two, absolutely nothing, But isn't it wonderful to be 2:03:29.560 --> 2:03:33.800 alive and sharing this moment? So many people have come 2:03:33.880 --> 2:03:38.520 up with ideas about a sound effect that we need 2:03:38.560 --> 2:03:42.080 to make it twelve forty two. Some of them are 2:03:42.120 --> 2:03:45.520 worthy of mentioned, most of them aren't. You're naughty listeners, 2:03:45.960 --> 2:03:48.760 but we'll have something for you. And if that's not 2:03:48.880 --> 2:03:52.240 worth hanging around four, then you know, there's that Craig 2:03:52.240 --> 2:03:56.480 Bennett thing coming up. Euh, it's eighteen after midday. Craig's 2:03:56.520 --> 2:04:00.280 next Yeah, just on the text line, Greg says Luke 2:04:00.520 --> 2:04:04.000 quote absolutely nothing happens at twelve forty two one quote 2:04:04.360 --> 2:04:07.640 you're so self deprecating about your show.

Well, I haven't heard that, 2:04:22.760 --> 2:04:26.360 and thankfully I haven't seen it. Thank you, Brian. We'll 2:04:26.360 --> 2:04:30.720 do some work on that. I think Trent should look 2:04:30.760 --> 2:04:33.400 after the studio go I think Trend's too busy to 2:04:33.480 --> 2:04:39.760 be looking after the studio Goaden to be frank, he 2:04:39.840 --> 2:04:42.160 is a bit difficult to deal with at times, and 2:04:42.400 --> 2:04:46.080 I wouldn't I wouldn't put that at the feet of 2:04:46.480 --> 2:04:49.760 Trend to me, wouldn't be fair. One three, one eight 2:04:49.880 --> 2:04:53.280 seven three is our open line number. Now it's time 2:04:53.480 --> 2:04:57.880 for gramb the smelling Souls industrial strength if you have them, 2:04:58.040 --> 2:05:01.240 and don't forget the pickle juice, because it's time for 2:05:01.520 --> 2:05:10.600 Starstruck with Craig Bennett. Now today we look at one 2:05:10.600 --> 2:05:16.920 of the most fascinating yet tragic stories from Hollywood's golden years. 2:05:17.080 --> 2:05:20.400 We're talking today about the life of Judy Garland. 2:05:21.240 --> 2:05:22.480 They shook hands away. 2:05:24.120 --> 2:05:27.360 Hellolu get happy about the. 2:05:27.440 --> 2:05:29.920 Judgment day sna shining. 2:05:30.040 --> 2:05:31.240 Come on, get happy. 2:05:31.480 --> 2:05:35.480 The lot is when to take your hair shah hallelujah. 2:05:35.680 --> 2:05:39.680 Come on, get happy. We're gonna be Gland into the promise. 2:05:39.320 --> 2:05:46.960 Man, all because of the Man that God world. 2:05:51.600 --> 2:05:55.839 No call. 2:06:04.320 --> 2:06:32.400 To me in Saint Louis, Louis, and I heard yea. 2:06:32.440 --> 2:06:34.760 From her early days as a child, start to her 2:06:34.880 --> 2:06:38.480 years of Hollywood stardom and her trumphant returned to the 2:06:38.520 --> 2:06:44.560 concert state. Judy Garland captivated audiences like no other. Hello, 2:06:44.800 --> 2:06:46.120 Craig Bennett. 2:06:46.040 --> 2:06:50.200 And Luke Grant, Hello to you. Yes, the unmistakable tones 2:06:50.240 --> 2:06:54.360 of Judy Garland. And we're chadding Judy today because this weekend, 2:06:54.400 --> 2:06:57.800 in fact actually tomorrow, Luke fifty six years since she 2:06:57.960 --> 2:07:00.920 left us. June twenty two, nineteen six nine, it was, 2:07:01.000 --> 2:07:04.440 and she was found dead by her husband and fifth 2:07:04.480 --> 2:07:06.600 husband in the bathroom of a home they were renting 2:07:06.600 --> 2:07:10.720 in London, only forty seven. And you think about her life, 2:07:10.800 --> 2:07:14.800 She's lived the equivalent of maybe ten hundred regular lives, 2:07:14.840 --> 2:07:16.880 hasn't she? Because she seemed to cram so much into 2:07:16.920 --> 2:07:20.960 those forty seven years, so much drama. And you know, Judy, 2:07:21.040 --> 2:07:24.960 like Marilyn and Elvis, doesn't need a surname. The legend 2:07:25.000 --> 2:07:29.560 that just simply doesn't dim with time showed this phenomenon. 2:07:29.560 --> 2:07:31.920 We know she made a singing debu when she was 2:07:31.920 --> 2:07:34.160 two and a half. The fascinating story actually how she 2:07:34.240 --> 2:07:37.520 went from Frances Gum, which was the name she was 2:07:37.560 --> 2:07:40.920 born with, to Judy Garland. And you think of the 2:07:40.960 --> 2:07:43.360 stats on this. By seventeen, she was a star. By 2:07:43.400 --> 2:07:47.440 twenty seven, a bona fide legend, and forty seven, of 2:07:47.440 --> 2:07:50.680 course she's gone thirty four movies, The Wizard of Oz 2:07:50.720 --> 2:07:54.120 I guess being one of the most revered of Hollywood classics. 2:07:54.120 --> 2:07:57.200 She dazzled in The Harvey Girls. There was what was 2:07:57.240 --> 2:08:00.960 some others Easter Parade with Fred Astaire. She did three 2:08:01.040 --> 2:08:03.320 Andy Hardy movies with Micky Rooney. In fact, they were 2:08:03.400 --> 2:08:07.160 quite the screen team because they did ten movies all together. 2:08:07.600 --> 2:08:10.160 She was in A Star Is Born, the version with 2:08:10.600 --> 2:08:14.480 James Mason in the fifties Judgment at Nuremberg Till the 2:08:14.520 --> 2:08:17.480 Clouds Roll By. That was with Sinatra, Frank Sinatra, and 2:08:17.600 --> 2:08:20.200 her last movie was I could go on singing with 2:08:20.600 --> 2:08:23.920 Jack Klugman nineteen sixty three. Now, interesting, look, there were 2:08:23.920 --> 2:08:26.280 four big movies she was signed on the star and 2:08:26.400 --> 2:08:29.120 in fact the cameras had started rolling, but due to 2:08:29.200 --> 2:08:32.600 lateness or issues with medicational boohs or whatever it might be, 2:08:33.200 --> 2:08:36.240 she was fired and she was replaced by some really 2:08:36.240 --> 2:08:39.800 big stars. In fact, those movies turned their careers around. 2:08:39.880 --> 2:08:42.080 So I'll tell you about that. She won a special 2:08:42.120 --> 2:08:45.600 Oscar in nineteen forty. She got two further nominations. So 2:08:45.640 --> 2:08:49.880 we're talking somebody here who had terrific acting chops two 2:08:49.920 --> 2:08:53.000 Grammy Awards on the mantle for a music and you 2:08:53.120 --> 2:08:55.400 think some of the songs, you heard some of them there, 2:08:55.440 --> 2:08:57.880 but you know the other zing went the strings of 2:08:57.960 --> 2:09:01.120 my heart, you made me love you, there's the wonderful 2:09:01.120 --> 2:09:04.200 trolley song on the Atchison, to peek around the Santa 2:09:04.240 --> 2:09:09.280 Fe And all that talent, immeasurable talent on screen, on stage, 2:09:09.280 --> 2:09:12.040 wherever it might be. She had her own TV show, 2:09:12.040 --> 2:09:14.640 The Judy Garland Show. But with all of that, you 2:09:14.720 --> 2:09:17.240 flip it over and the private life was tumultuous. The 2:09:17.280 --> 2:09:19.840 five husbands, two of whom were gay. 2:09:19.960 --> 2:09:22.080 I've got a bit of a chapra about that too. 2:09:22.080 --> 2:09:25.560 That concerns Peter Allen. You'll need smelling salts. And if 2:09:25.560 --> 2:09:28.400 you've got the pearl, Tandy, start clutching now or I'll 2:09:28.480 --> 2:09:31.520 warm into it. Chorrus stories of abuse that she suffered 2:09:31.520 --> 2:09:35.520 at the hands of two husbands, the pills that look, 2:09:35.520 --> 2:09:37.840 we've kind of heard it all. You mentioned at the 2:09:37.880 --> 2:09:43.040 get Go that tea word tragedy. I've interviewed Judy's daughter, 2:09:43.160 --> 2:09:47.160 Laurna lop wonderful Broadway star and sensational singer who refused that. 2:09:47.160 --> 2:09:49.000 And I've got a bit of Laurna coming up later, 2:09:49.800 --> 2:09:53.880 Luke to tell you why Judy Garland wasn't tragic. And 2:09:53.920 --> 2:09:56.200 then you think, look the array of books and movies 2:09:56.240 --> 2:09:59.960 on Judy Garland's like Judy Davis. How Judy Davis was 2:10:00.440 --> 2:10:03.160 excellent in the TV mini few years ago based on 2:10:03.280 --> 2:10:05.480 Lorna has booked Me and My Shadows, And of course, 2:10:05.920 --> 2:10:10.360 more recently, renez el Wager played Judy Garland in a 2:10:10.400 --> 2:10:14.240 movie about Judy Garland. Obviously, look as Al Jolson once 2:10:14.280 --> 2:10:17.920 famously equipped, you ain't heard nothing yet, so I would 2:10:18.000 --> 2:10:19.040 pull your car over. 2:10:19.680 --> 2:10:20.400 I would sit. 2:10:20.320 --> 2:10:23.560 Down now if you're standing up this is a rocket ride, 2:10:23.680 --> 2:10:26.520 but we are told not tragic, but certainly tinged with 2:10:26.880 --> 2:10:30.600 tremendous highs and boyo boys, some absolutely crushing loads. 2:10:30.680 --> 2:10:34.360 And you mentioned pearls before. What is it we need 2:10:34.440 --> 2:10:38.280 to do? Yes with the pearls, clutch them? 2:10:38.360 --> 2:10:39.960 Is that what you said, we clutched them? 2:10:39.960 --> 2:10:42.720 I think that's the old expression, clutch the pearls. 2:10:42.880 --> 2:10:43.880 Yeah, the pearls. 2:10:44.320 --> 2:10:46.080 Don't know where it came from, but it's just something 2:10:46.080 --> 2:10:48.240 that's lingered in the back of my mind. And yeah, 2:10:48.320 --> 2:10:50.600 I thought, well, while we're talking Judy galland no more 2:10:50.600 --> 2:10:52.600 appropriate time to drag him out perhaps. 2:10:52.680 --> 2:10:55.160 And if you if you don't have pearls, you might 2:10:55.320 --> 2:10:58.920 just have some amethyst or something else. You just clutch 2:10:59.000 --> 2:11:00.920 that as well as this only something to do with 2:11:01.320 --> 2:11:01.720 you could. 2:11:01.600 --> 2:11:04.080 Clutch the cubic xicaronia. You know, you don't need to 2:11:04.120 --> 2:11:05.480 be fancy fancy about it. 2:11:05.560 --> 2:11:08.440 That's our style, all right, mate, back with more from 2:11:08.480 --> 2:11:11.560 Craig right after this, and just before I hand back 2:11:11.600 --> 2:11:16.400 to Craig, don't forget today it exactly twelve forty two 2:11:17.800 --> 2:11:21.360 that will be the exact moment here in the Southern 2:11:21.400 --> 2:11:26.800 Hemisphere that we will be at our fullest or furthest 2:11:27.160 --> 2:11:32.720 tilt from the sun during this winter solstice at twelve 2:11:32.800 --> 2:11:37.920 forty two, and we will be I won't be wanting 2:11:37.960 --> 2:11:41.080 to interrupt, Craig, but if I have to, I will, 2:11:41.120 --> 2:11:43.560 and I'll be just reminding you that that's a moment, 2:11:44.160 --> 2:11:47.920 a significant moment in time, has no impact on your 2:11:48.000 --> 2:11:51.720 life at all. But you know, we just like to, 2:11:52.320 --> 2:11:54.080 We just like to make you aware of this gear 2:11:54.920 --> 2:11:58.600 winter Solstice exactly twelve forty two, and we'll be paying 2:11:58.640 --> 2:12:02.880 homage to other people like me, people I like to 2:12:02.920 --> 2:12:07.120 refer to a Solstice enthusiasts on the show today at 2:12:07.120 --> 2:12:10.320 twelve forty two. In the meantime, more important than all 2:12:10.360 --> 2:12:13.320 of that life and times of Judy Garland, Craig. 2:12:14.800 --> 2:12:18.000 Luke, I've got my eyes set firmly on my watch 2:12:18.160 --> 2:12:21.600 twelve forty two. She wasn't born Judy Garland. She was 2:12:21.600 --> 2:12:25.839 born Francis Gumm in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. And you realize, 2:12:25.840 --> 2:12:27.520 had she's still been with us, she'd have turned one 2:12:27.600 --> 2:12:30.600 hundred and three earlier this month. But it wasn't to be. 2:12:30.800 --> 2:12:34.480 Dad was a singer, and look, this is the start 2:12:34.520 --> 2:12:37.440 of a recurring theme in her life because her father 2:12:37.680 --> 2:12:41.440 was secretly gay one was a concert pianist who pushed 2:12:41.440 --> 2:12:44.960 her three daughters into showbiz. So you've got Judy's older sisters, Mary, 2:12:45.040 --> 2:12:49.040 Jane and Dorothy. They formed this group called the Gum Sisters. 2:12:49.280 --> 2:12:51.080 And it was when Judy was two and a half 2:12:51.120 --> 2:12:53.600 she sang jingle bells with her sisters, and so I 2:12:53.640 --> 2:12:56.360 guess you'd say the die was cast. In fact, it 2:12:56.440 --> 2:12:58.720 was Luke Showbiz Store with the Great George Jess, a 2:12:58.800 --> 2:13:00.800 wonderful comedian, among her a lot of other things. He 2:13:01.160 --> 2:13:03.480 suggested the name change, and he did so when an 2:13:03.520 --> 2:13:07.240 announcer introducing her Gum Sisters got it wrong and called 2:13:07.240 --> 2:13:12.160 them a no introducing the Glum sister. So George saides 2:13:12.320 --> 2:13:14.880 to move away from mc gum, the glum whatever it is, 2:13:14.920 --> 2:13:17.120 and he came up with the name Garland. So the 2:13:17.200 --> 2:13:20.440 Glum Sister rather the Gum Sisters became the Garland Sisters. 2:13:20.920 --> 2:13:24.160 And as for Francis becoming Judy, it was an homage 2:13:24.200 --> 2:13:27.640 your beautiful word there at homage to the Hogy Carmichael 2:13:27.760 --> 2:13:31.320 song Judy so well up. Judy Garland is born. Look. 2:13:31.360 --> 2:13:34.240 The Gum family moved to Los Angeles in nineteen twenty six. 2:13:34.320 --> 2:13:37.280 Duty was only four and The real reason was because 2:13:37.280 --> 2:13:40.920 of a brewing scandal with their dad, Frank Gum, who'd 2:13:40.960 --> 2:13:44.080 gotten involved with a young man. Don't know the details, 2:13:44.080 --> 2:13:46.680 but that's why they kind of packed up everything and 2:13:46.800 --> 2:13:50.240 scadaddled right out of town. Now, Judy made her movie 2:13:50.240 --> 2:13:52.720 debut nineteen thirty six of the Maths on that as 2:13:52.760 --> 2:13:55.360 she was fourteen. It was a short feature at MGM 2:13:55.440 --> 2:13:59.320 called Every Sunday with the Beautiful Deanna Durban. Now this, 2:13:59.640 --> 2:14:01.320 I know it sounds like it's not, but this is 2:14:01.360 --> 2:14:04.760 an absolutely true story as to how Louiebye made The 2:14:04.880 --> 2:14:08.280 MGM boss signed up Judy Garland after she made her 2:14:08.440 --> 2:14:10.800 debut in that movie I just told you about Every Sunday. 2:14:11.160 --> 2:14:14.360 He barked to some lackey, go sign up the flat one. 2:14:14.920 --> 2:14:17.800 Back then Deanna Durban if he could believe it. Apparently 2:14:17.800 --> 2:14:19.600 couldn't hit a note because she went on to become 2:14:19.840 --> 2:14:22.680 one of the great movie singers. But the lackey thought 2:14:22.720 --> 2:14:26.000 he said, go sign up the fat one. And back 2:14:26.040 --> 2:14:28.640 then Judy was a little on the chubby side, so 2:14:29.520 --> 2:14:31.960 it was a mistake of sorts, if you can believe it. 2:14:32.560 --> 2:14:34.920 Look a big break at MGM came in the Broadway 2:14:35.440 --> 2:14:38.720 Broadway Melody Movie of nineteen thirty eight, where she sang, 2:14:39.000 --> 2:14:41.440 in fact, to a photo of Clark Gable, you made 2:14:41.440 --> 2:14:44.600 Me Love You Now, such an iconic song. She was fifteen. 2:14:44.640 --> 2:14:47.640 When she was sixteen, on went the Gingham dress, and 2:14:47.680 --> 2:14:50.400 she made the Wizard of Oz playing Dorothy the Yellow 2:14:50.400 --> 2:14:54.160 Brick road Tote, the flying Monkeys, and all that, the 2:14:54.240 --> 2:14:56.800 Munchkins and the rest, as they say, is history. It 2:14:57.000 --> 2:15:00.840 was in fact during this time that Judy was put 2:15:00.880 --> 2:15:03.240 on this very strict regime. She was only allowed to 2:15:03.280 --> 2:15:06.240 eat chicken broth and cottage cheese in a bid to 2:15:06.320 --> 2:15:09.840 keep her figure from becoming wayward, and the doctors at 2:15:09.920 --> 2:15:13.560 MGM recommended all sorts of pills. There were sleeping pills 2:15:13.560 --> 2:15:15.560 to ensure she got plenty of beauty sleep. There was 2:15:15.640 --> 2:15:18.160 uppers to give her energy and vim there were down 2:15:18.200 --> 2:15:20.120 as to counter the uppers so that you didn't have 2:15:20.200 --> 2:15:22.360 too much. I know all that, and you see the 2:15:22.400 --> 2:15:25.480 thing is luke. It was all highly addicted. But understand 2:15:25.720 --> 2:15:28.680 they didn't know back then, and Judy was not on 2:15:28.760 --> 2:15:33.000 drugs like heroin or cocaine. They were pills prescribed by 2:15:33.040 --> 2:15:36.240 the doctors, and so of course she just took them. 2:15:36.240 --> 2:15:40.480 And became majorly addicted. And here's how all that played out. 2:15:40.560 --> 2:15:42.960 You see, after the Wizard of Oz she was a 2:15:43.000 --> 2:15:47.360 major star, and with the triumphs came the disappointments. For instance, 2:15:47.360 --> 2:15:49.120 she was signed up to Stone a movie called The 2:15:49.160 --> 2:15:52.680 Barkleys a Broadway, but she was dump for being zonked 2:15:52.680 --> 2:15:58.400 out on pills. Ginger Rogers replaced her, and that just fomented, 2:15:58.840 --> 2:16:03.440 you know, a fortified Ginger's stratosphere in Hollywood. She became 2:16:03.800 --> 2:16:06.000 a great star. She was cast as a duty to 2:16:06.000 --> 2:16:09.240 play Annie Oakley in Annie Getcha Gun. Same troubles, plus 2:16:09.280 --> 2:16:12.720 she was erratic and a nervous wreck. Incomes Betty Hutton. 2:16:12.760 --> 2:16:14.600 You think of Annie Oakley and you think of Betty 2:16:14.680 --> 2:16:17.520 Hutton in that movie. Then there was a glossy role 2:16:17.560 --> 2:16:20.960 in the Valley of the Dolls, similar trouble. So Judy's out, 2:16:21.760 --> 2:16:24.120 Susan Haywood replaced her, etc. 2:16:24.480 --> 2:16:24.680 Look. 2:16:24.720 --> 2:16:27.600 Her five marriages were drama filled, to say the least. Hubby. 2:16:27.680 --> 2:16:31.600 Number one was a British composer, David Rose was his name. 2:16:31.640 --> 2:16:34.040 They wed in the early forties forty one, so she 2:16:34.120 --> 2:16:37.480 was nineteen, he was thirty one. Barely lasted three years, 2:16:37.520 --> 2:16:40.480 during which time she fell pregnant, but her mum, who 2:16:40.520 --> 2:16:44.080 did not appreciate or approve of this marriage, forced Judy 2:16:44.120 --> 2:16:49.680 to have an abortion. She met her second husband, Vincent Manelli, 2:16:49.800 --> 2:16:53.160 on the set of Meet Me in Saint Louis St. 2:16:53.200 --> 2:16:53.520 Lewis. 2:16:53.560 --> 2:16:57.040 He was a director. They wed in nineteen forty five. 2:16:57.040 --> 2:16:59.960 It was had a daughter, Liza together Liza the Neelle, 2:17:00.680 --> 2:17:03.760 but it wasn't to last, as Judy would come home 2:17:03.800 --> 2:17:07.400 to find him, perhaps in a dallyance with a gardener 2:17:07.440 --> 2:17:11.400 or a pool boy or something or other. During their marriage, 2:17:11.400 --> 2:17:15.360 she suffered severe depression, became a nervous wreck. She tried 2:17:15.400 --> 2:17:17.760 to take a life on an array of occasions, was 2:17:18.080 --> 2:17:24.640 admitted to psychiatric clinics. Judy had an affair during their marriage. 2:17:24.640 --> 2:17:27.000 In fact, it was with Sid Luft, who would go 2:17:27.040 --> 2:17:29.480 on to become her third husband. So they went in 2:17:29.520 --> 2:17:32.360 the early fifties, had two kids together, sing a lorn 2:17:32.360 --> 2:17:36.800 A Luft and a son, Joey Luft. Sid got Judy's 2:17:36.800 --> 2:17:39.560 career up and firing again, but it wasn't the last. 2:17:39.640 --> 2:17:42.960 They divorced in the mid fifties at thirteen years though 2:17:42.959 --> 2:17:45.959 her longest marriage. But Judy claimed that Sid was an 2:17:45.959 --> 2:17:51.480 alcoholic who beat her and stole her fortune. So you 2:17:51.560 --> 2:17:54.760 had all that going on. Straight after divorcing Sid, she 2:17:54.800 --> 2:17:58.039 wed actor and tour promoter Mark Heron. Now they were 2:17:58.080 --> 2:18:00.560 in this very splashy ceremony in love, I guess. But 2:18:01.040 --> 2:18:04.240 it didn't last. And there's a reason for that because 2:18:04.280 --> 2:18:05.080 Mark was gay. 2:18:05.480 --> 2:18:07.960 So what's going on here? 2:18:08.480 --> 2:18:11.800 What? I ask you the same questions, No wonder. I 2:18:11.840 --> 2:18:13.560 told you to grab those pearls and give them a 2:18:13.560 --> 2:18:18.400 good old clutch. Yeah, here is a stunning revelation. There 2:18:18.440 --> 2:18:23.360 are reports that claim that Judy's daughter Liza found Mark, 2:18:23.720 --> 2:18:27.760 Judy's husband, in bed with Liza's then husband Peter Allen. 2:18:27.920 --> 2:18:32.920 I mean, come on, well, I can remember Liza. 2:18:33.440 --> 2:18:34.920 In fact, Liza said. 2:18:35.680 --> 2:18:38.840 Recently in her documentary, she said, I learnt one day 2:18:39.440 --> 2:18:42.920 never to come home early from work because you're never 2:18:42.959 --> 2:18:44.840 going to go You're never going to know what you're 2:18:44.879 --> 2:18:47.760 going to find. I mean, as they say in the classics, girl, 2:18:48.720 --> 2:18:51.520 honk the horn loudly if you're arriving home earlier. 2:18:52.600 --> 2:18:57.400 Way listen, we're about to get the Palster's. 2:18:56.879 --> 2:18:58.119 Time twelve forty two. 2:18:58.320 --> 2:19:02.760 Yeah, yeah, in about twenty five seconds. And I just 2:19:03.360 --> 2:19:06.360 if you don't mind, I said to my listeners earlier 2:19:06.400 --> 2:19:12.480 that I would i'd make a noise and play some effects. Yeah. Well, 2:19:12.959 --> 2:19:16.879 in fact, I've had my because I'm an exponent of 2:19:16.879 --> 2:19:20.400 the recorder, I've had my recorder broad into the studio 2:19:20.480 --> 2:19:23.440 and I just wait there, mate, here we go, Here 2:19:23.480 --> 2:19:56.520 we go. Oh, I'd like to think I give a 2:19:56.560 --> 2:20:00.280 bit for this show. In fact, I give my all 2:20:00.320 --> 2:20:03.680 for this show. And I only I've learned that during 2:20:03.720 --> 2:20:07.160 the news at one o'clock it was a little bit scratchy, 2:20:07.240 --> 2:20:09.800 but total eclips of the heart on Winter Saucers Day. 2:20:10.240 --> 2:20:12.760 That's what we're prepared to do for you, dear listener, 2:20:13.040 --> 2:20:15.600 and you my dear friend Craig. Sorry to interrupt you. 2:20:15.640 --> 2:20:16.200 Where were we? 2:20:16.879 --> 2:20:19.840 No, that's okay. I can hear Carnegie Hall calling you 2:20:19.920 --> 2:20:23.600 on the other line. Oh really, here is yeah, ring, 2:20:23.680 --> 2:20:27.080 ring ring. We want Brant and his recorder for Carnegie Hall. 2:20:27.440 --> 2:20:28.280 Yes, how do you? 2:20:28.400 --> 2:20:31.560 Jackman's tickets aren't selling that well? Looking for replacement? 2:20:32.760 --> 2:20:33.520 Good for you? 2:20:33.800 --> 2:20:34.039 Wow? 2:20:34.440 --> 2:20:36.800 Yeah, look I've lost track. But anyway, the hobby number 2:20:36.800 --> 2:20:39.560 four that's right, was apparently secretly go. Hobby number five 2:20:40.320 --> 2:20:43.400 was a musician, Mickey Deans, who was a nightclub manager. 2:20:44.240 --> 2:20:47.800 He was significantly younger than I think fifteen years sixty 2:20:47.879 --> 2:20:50.920 nine May, where she seemed to glow with happiness, telling 2:20:51.400 --> 2:20:55.280 Vanity Fair magazine Wohoo, I finally found real love. Drag 2:20:55.320 --> 2:20:59.640 out the recorders the last Three months Later, he found 2:20:59.680 --> 2:21:02.640 her in the bathroom of their home in London. She'd 2:21:02.680 --> 2:21:05.280 been there doing a series of concerts. They had some 2:21:05.360 --> 2:21:08.040 blistering row the night before she went screaming into the 2:21:08.080 --> 2:21:10.240 street in the nightgown or something. He went to bed. 2:21:10.560 --> 2:21:13.720 When he woke up, she wasn't beside him. He had 2:21:13.720 --> 2:21:16.560 to break the bathroom door down and there she was 2:21:16.959 --> 2:21:17.640 forty seven. 2:21:17.800 --> 2:21:17.959 Look. 2:21:18.000 --> 2:21:20.680 The final years had been tumultuous. The pills, the vodka 2:21:20.760 --> 2:21:23.280 not a good mixed. Her life was full of turmoil. 2:21:23.920 --> 2:21:28.199 Hardly had any money too. Incredibly surprising considering the career. 2:21:28.360 --> 2:21:30.760 She came to Australia in nineteen sixty four. Look. In 2:21:30.800 --> 2:21:34.160 Sydney she staggered around, but in Melbourne was booed off 2:21:34.200 --> 2:21:38.400 the stage. And you mentioned Judy Garland and invariably the 2:21:38.440 --> 2:21:43.640 word tragedy is used to describe her. I've interviewed Lorna 2:21:43.680 --> 2:21:48.520 left her daughter several times, and she refutes that. She 2:21:48.560 --> 2:21:51.080 says her Mum absolutely wasn't tragic. If you got a 2:21:51.120 --> 2:21:52.720 sec here's a little bit of a grab of that. 2:21:54.879 --> 2:21:57.600 She had a wicked sense of humor, and she was 2:21:57.680 --> 2:22:01.240 really funny and for all the people who didn't know her, 2:22:01.680 --> 2:22:05.160 when people would say to me, oh, you know, the tragic, 2:22:05.440 --> 2:22:09.520 and she hated that because she wasn't. And she's used 2:22:09.560 --> 2:22:11.480 to say, I had tragedies of my life, but I 2:22:11.560 --> 2:22:14.520 wasn't tragic. But she was funny, and she was kind, 2:22:14.920 --> 2:22:20.840 and she was generous. She was complicated. But again, all 2:22:20.879 --> 2:22:22.920 of the things that I had to find out about 2:22:23.000 --> 2:22:26.480 her career I had to learn. You know, she never 2:22:27.040 --> 2:22:31.120 she never sat down and talked to us. She just 2:22:31.240 --> 2:22:33.279 did it. And I remember I went into the office 2:22:33.320 --> 2:22:35.520 and I looked down and there was a great, big, 2:22:36.000 --> 2:22:40.240 red leather picture book and I started going through it 2:22:40.640 --> 2:22:44.480 and there were just dreadful things in it, just awful events, 2:22:44.520 --> 2:22:50.039 tornadoes and hurricanes and all these things. And she happened 2:22:50.040 --> 2:22:53.000 to come in and I said, Mama, what is this 2:22:53.680 --> 2:22:56.480 And she said, oh, Darling, that's my tragedy book. I 2:22:56.480 --> 2:23:00.240 said what, and she said, oh, my tragedy book said 2:23:00.240 --> 2:23:02.160 whenever I think I have a problem, I can open 2:23:02.200 --> 2:23:03.720 this book. And say you think I have it bad, 2:23:03.760 --> 2:23:06.000 Look what happened to these people? Like she said, Oh, 2:23:06.080 --> 2:23:08.560 people don't want a happy Judy Gore London. I said, 2:23:08.680 --> 2:23:11.200 well why and she'd say, oh, it doesn't make for 2:23:11.280 --> 2:23:13.520 good print or something she'd say. 2:23:13.440 --> 2:23:14.200 But she knew that. 2:23:15.080 --> 2:23:18.200 Jeez, incredible, I know. Look, she died of an overdose. 2:23:18.280 --> 2:23:21.280 Loop to wrap here quickly. Her funeral in New York 2:23:21.360 --> 2:23:25.560 was absolutely massive, something like twenty two thousand people filed 2:23:25.600 --> 2:23:28.440 past her casket that was glass top, so that was open. 2:23:29.840 --> 2:23:32.520 She was buried wearing one of her wedding dresses and 2:23:32.560 --> 2:23:36.800 originally buried in New York, and then twenty seventeen her 2:23:36.840 --> 2:23:40.560 remains were exhumed and she was reburied in the Hollywood 2:23:40.600 --> 2:23:44.360 Forever Cemetery with spots next to her for her kids, 2:23:44.440 --> 2:23:47.800 Lisa and Lorna, who you just heard from there. And 2:23:47.879 --> 2:23:52.120 Joey left an extraordinary story and you know, you go 2:23:52.200 --> 2:23:54.959 back and look at those movies and they really are timeless, 2:23:55.000 --> 2:23:57.160 and he just had something that so few have. 2:23:57.600 --> 2:24:02.000 You know what, Sometimes sometimes you hear these names and 2:24:02.280 --> 2:24:04.680 you if you were perhaps not born at the time, 2:24:04.760 --> 2:24:06.879 and think, oh, yeah, they reckon go back and have 2:24:06.959 --> 2:24:10.320 a look as Craig says, and just understand the magic 2:24:10.360 --> 2:24:12.760 that they brought to the screen, these people that died 2:24:12.800 --> 2:24:16.160 tragically so young and have their addictions and battles as 2:24:16.200 --> 2:24:19.440 they make their way through stardom in very different times. 2:24:20.320 --> 2:24:23.160 We kind of sometimes focus on that and not the 2:24:23.200 --> 2:24:26.360 excellent body of work, which could be a lot wider. 2:24:26.480 --> 2:24:29.879 But sadly we're robbed of that great work from you, mate. 2:24:29.920 --> 2:24:32.160 I'm away for a couple of weeks, but I look 2:24:32.200 --> 2:24:35.240 forward to chatting to you on our return.
