Speaker 1: On two GV.
Speaker 2: This is Sydney Now with Clinton.
Speaker 3: Monday, June two, one three one eight seventy three. It
Speaker 3: is Clinton, Maine with you. First week of winter. Now
Speaker 3: the fairies are running. I can confirm the fairies are
Speaker 3: back up and running. This morning it was because of
Speaker 3: the fog. The fairies couldn't run across Sydney Harbor. Well
Speaker 3: this afternoon over the past hour or so, it's because
Speaker 3: of Wales. Wales stopped the fairies. But they're now running again.
Speaker 3: More than that, in just a moment. What surprised me
Speaker 3: about the fog today was where we were growing up,
Speaker 3: we're always told if it was foggy in Sydney in
Speaker 3: the morning, and this morning was a peace super it
Speaker 3: was pretty thick that we were going to have a bright, sunny,
Speaker 3: beautiful day. We're looking out across the suburbs of Sydney's
Speaker 3: West at the moment, very cloudy, it's overcast. What happened
Speaker 3: to our bright sunny day, It didn't happen. Coming up
Speaker 3: on the program, Susan Lee the new opposition Lee but
Speaker 3: probably has the hardest job in the country. If you
Speaker 3: give her much hope of winning the next election. She
Speaker 3: has a war and coalition to deal with. And there
Speaker 3: are still issues with her own backbench now that she'd
Speaker 3: made changes to shadow cabinet and she's got to take
Speaker 3: up the fight to the Labor Party. Well. She'll be
Speaker 3: my guest after five o'clock, the first time she's been
Speaker 3: on two gbs since she was elected leader. The big
Speaker 3: issue in state politics this week is the future of
Speaker 3: the workers' compensation scheme and the fact that there's legislation
Speaker 3: going to palm this week. The fact that if changes
Speaker 3: aren't made the way psychological injuries dealt with in the workplace,
Speaker 3: premiums for businesses are going to skyrocket and they couldn't
Speaker 3: put an enormous pressure on their budgets and the state
Speaker 3: budget as well. Our straight She to Craig Laundy runs
Speaker 3: a significant business and'll have an insight into these changes.
Speaker 3: We'll talk to him. Mark Guy joins me after five
Speaker 3: o'clock to review the weekend in footy, and we've got
Speaker 3: a good prize to give away today with the quiz,
Speaker 3: a five hundred dollars Winston with a Y voucher that's
Speaker 3: in the quiz coming up at the end of the program.
Speaker 3: You are my eyes and ears when it's happening in
Speaker 3: city now. So if you see something we need to
Speaker 3: know about, text me zero force zero eight seven three
Speaker 3: eight seven three. Have you say one three one eight
Speaker 3: seven three. Well in Sydney right now I can confirm
Speaker 3: the fairies are running once again. There's been a lot
Speaker 3: of excitement on the northern beaches throughout the afternoon. You
Speaker 3: would have heard this with Michael McLaren listener Brian calling
Speaker 3: in after spotting a pot of wales at Manly.
Speaker 4: Have a listen bit of excitement here in Manley. Three
Speaker 4: humpback whales have come into the harbor and they've been
Speaker 4: doing a bit of a circuit around and got as
Speaker 4: close as about one hundred meters or so off the
Speaker 4: Manly pier. Brought all the ferries to a halt, obviously
Speaker 4: for safety reasons. There's a lot of people hanging around
Speaker 4: looking and taking photographs of them.
Speaker 3: Transport for New South Wales say the fairies had to
Speaker 3: slow down and there's been some delays as a result,
Speaker 3: but the fairies are getting back to normal for the
Speaker 3: afternoon peak. This is a great site. First Monday of June,
Speaker 3: the first week of winter and we have whale watching
Speaker 3: on the Harbor. We have whale watching from Manly. Rob
Speaker 3: Harcourt is a marine biologist, a shark expert from mcquarie University,
Speaker 3: joins us, Well, this is a bit of a surprise,
Speaker 3: or is it, Rob, Hello.
Speaker 5: Oh good Aid Clinton. Yeah, No, it's not that much
Speaker 5: of a surprise. Whales are all heading north to have
Speaker 5: their babies and have one bit of romantic canoodling up
Speaker 5: on the Daria Eve and they do stop in harbors
Speaker 5: and estuaries on the way up. These guys just seem
Speaker 5: to have come into the business harbor on the Newst Coast.
Speaker 3: Romantic can noodling. We are a family show, so just
Speaker 3: bear that in mind, Rob, So what they migrate north
Speaker 3: to meet up?
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 5: So they all feed down in the Antarctic, in the
Speaker 5: really rich waters of the Antarctic every summer and when
Speaker 5: there's twenty frier daylight and there's lots of product pivot
Speaker 5: going on. And then when winter comes they flee north
Speaker 5: and they go up to the Barrier reef to have
Speaker 5: their babies. And it's when the males can all find
Speaker 5: the females because they're all up there in the same place.
Speaker 5: But they rt migrate up the coast, and so they
Speaker 5: often stop in at different bays on the way up,
Speaker 5: sometimes for a rest. And if a female's about to
Speaker 5: give births, who might be looking for a quiet place
Speaker 5: to give birth? So Sydney Harper's not a quiet place,
Speaker 5: has to be said.
Speaker 3: So while the female is swimming making her way up,
Speaker 3: would she poke her head into the heads and realize,
Speaker 3: I know this isn't a great place and then continue
Speaker 3: on the merry way north.
Speaker 5: It could be, or they might have just come in
Speaker 5: and had a bit of a rest. I mean, there's
Speaker 5: a few of them. It wasn't just one. But when
Speaker 5: a female is going to give birth, they often have
Speaker 5: what we call an escort, which is often to another
Speaker 5: female or sometimes a male mate guarding who goes with them.
Speaker 5: And then when they give their cup when they have
Speaker 5: a calf, normally in the night. We don't see them
Speaker 5: very often happening during the day. Then the other one
Speaker 5: I'll hang around to protect them from sharks and other predators.
Speaker 3: The ferries have slowed down for those that are on
Speaker 3: the waterways. If you do come across a while, whether
Speaker 3: it's outside of the heads or even within the heads,
Speaker 3: what should you do?
Speaker 5: Oh, look, don't change your gears really rapidly, and don't
Speaker 5: race towards them. I mean you're legally you have to
Speaker 5: stay at least one hundred meters away, or if there's
Speaker 5: a baby with them, it's three hundred meters away, which
Speaker 5: is a big distance. There's actually a lot further than
Speaker 5: you think, especially in the confines of the harbor. But
Speaker 5: reversing and driving around like a maniac is when they
Speaker 5: tend to get run over. They are very vulnerable to boats.
Speaker 5: In particular, there's lots of boats, so goes slow, right down,
Speaker 5: no wake speed, and if you are heading towards them,
Speaker 5: look go to neutral and just hopefully just drift away.
Speaker 5: Try and keep that. But you must keep at least
Speaker 5: one hundred meters away. That's the requirement. If there's more
Speaker 5: than three boats and it's three hundred meters and then
Speaker 5: the harbor, there's nearly always three.
Speaker 3: Good advice for magnificent animals. Thank you, professor, so entirely
Speaker 3: my closure.
Speaker 5: Clinton have a lovely afternoon.
Speaker 3: Professor Rob Harcourt, who is a marine biologist with McCrory University.
Speaker 3: So the fairies are running again. There might be some
Speaker 3: delays the next half of a half hour or so
Speaker 3: because they had to slow down. But you can expect
Speaker 3: to see more Wales over the next couple of weeks.
Speaker 6: If it's happening in Sydney, you'll hear it on Sydney
Speaker 6: Now with Clinton Man on.
Speaker 3: To GB thirteen past three, the state government admits we
Speaker 3: aren't winning the war against illegal tobacco. We've been talking
Speaker 3: about this for several years on my programs, the fact
Speaker 3: that tobacconists have been operating opening up left, right and
Speaker 3: center in our suburbs, despite the fact smoking rates are
Speaker 3: at an all time low. Chris Minz has spoken about
Speaker 3: this today and for the first time he's actually pointed
Speaker 3: the finger at one of the reasons that you often
Speaker 3: identified as the course of this high tobacco excise. Now
Speaker 3: he has been questioned about the way we police these tobacconists,
Speaker 3: in particular at the moment it's the duty of New
Speaker 3: South Wales health inspectors, not the police, but mister Minns
Speaker 3: for the first time conceded that may need to change.
Speaker 7: That would mean allocating police officers that are currently working
Speaker 7: on domestic violence cases, on youth crime cases, on major
Speaker 7: organized crime networks in New South Wales take them off
Speaker 7: those important inquiries and send them into tobacco regulation. And
Speaker 7: we may need to do that because I'm concerned as
Speaker 7: a constituent and as a father to see the number
Speaker 7: of high street premises being taken over by tobacco firms.
Speaker 8: But I wonder whether we need to roll this back.
Speaker 7: A couple of steps and look more closely at the
Speaker 7: federal government's massive excise on tobacco.
Speaker 8: I think that that's important.
Speaker 7: I'm not arguing with the public health benefits of putting
Speaker 7: an excise on tobacco.
Speaker 8: I think it's driven down the amount of.
Speaker 7: People that use cigarettes in the community to around ten percent,
Speaker 7: but the massive increase has exploded the illicit tobacco marketplace.
Speaker 3: Now that's the first time I've heard the Premier say
Speaker 3: that it's federal excise that's to blame here. Well, let's
Speaker 3: bring an expert in this matter in James Martin is
Speaker 3: a scene lecturer in criminology who specializes in the black market.
Speaker 3: Deacon University. Thank you for your time, James. Do you
Speaker 3: believe the high excise on tobacco as part of the
Speaker 3: reason we've seen this explosion in illegal tobacco?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think that's absolutely undeniable. Australians pay the most
Speaker 9: expensive cigarette prices anywhere in the world. Pacade smoker who's
Speaker 9: buying legal cigarettes is looking at a yearly bill in
Speaker 9: the order of fifteen thousand dollars and that's obviously an
Speaker 9: extortionary amount that many people simply cannot or.
Speaker 1: Refuse to pay.
Speaker 3: Does an excise work in any way? I would suspect
Speaker 3: that the health industry believes it has discouraged people from smoking.
Speaker 10: Well, we don't actually have.
Speaker 9: Any conclusive evidence that it's accelerated to decline in smoking
Speaker 9: in Australia. Smoking rates in the pre tax decade, so
Speaker 9: between two thousand and twenty ten declined at the same
Speaker 9: rate as over the next ten years from twenty ten
Speaker 9: to twenty nineteen, when the price cigarettes more than doubled.
Speaker 9: So you know, I think there are real questions about
Speaker 9: whether the tax was fun, it was working is intended
Speaker 9: let alone all these very serious unintended consequences.
Speaker 3: From your experience in this area, what do you think
Speaker 3: the best way would be to deal with the illegal
Speaker 3: tobacco problem.
Speaker 9: Well, I think there's two main things that the government
Speaker 9: needs to do. And it's great to see New South
Speaker 9: Wales premier acknowledging the elephant in the room, which is
Speaker 9: tobacco tax that I think needs to be substantially lowered.
Speaker 9: But the other big one here is vapes. So vapes
Speaker 9: to the number one quitting aid in jurisdictions in which
Speaker 9: they're legal. We saw massive declines in smoking rates in
Speaker 9: New Zealand from twenty twenty when they legalized vapes over there,
Speaker 9: and unfortunately we've made vpes harder to get the cigarettes
Speaker 9: which you know a responsible for the deaths of two
Speaker 9: and three every long term users. So I think improving
Speaker 9: access to legal forms of nictee but prompally less harmful
Speaker 9: forms of nicotine.
Speaker 11: Is the key.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the issue with balance is causing part of the problem.
Speaker 3: Thank you for your Tim James. Thanks doctor Jones Martin
Speaker 3: who's a criminal lecturer at Deacon University. So that's the
Speaker 3: first time. Firstly, Chris Mens has admitted that the exercise
Speaker 3: is an issue here and that needs to be addressed.
Speaker 3: Very rarely when you get politicians saying that because they're
Speaker 3: very worried about what the response will be from the
Speaker 3: health lobby. But also he said that in the upcoming
Speaker 3: budget that will we hand it down in a few
Speaker 3: weeks time, his government is going to have to look
Speaker 3: at providing the police with resources rather than New South
Speaker 3: Wales Health to actually police those tobacconists be a part.
Speaker 6: Of Sidden now with Clinton Maynard called one three, one
Speaker 6: eight seven three.
Speaker 3: Okay. The counting is continuing this afternoon in the seat
Speaker 3: of Bradfield and this has taken a turn. The Teal candidate,
Speaker 3: Nicolett Buller is now in front. I'm just looking at
Speaker 3: the latest results that have come through. This is the recount.
Speaker 3: Nicolett Buller is in front of Gazelle Capteriian, the Liberal,
Speaker 3: by twenty one votes. Now. When counting wrapped up on Friday,
Speaker 3: Gazelle cab Tirian was in front by two and the
Speaker 3: AAC has indicated the counting won't be concluded, most likely
Speaker 3: until the end of the week, possibly midweek, but I
Speaker 3: think you can take it as read it'll be the
Speaker 3: end of the week. This is the first time since
Speaker 3: the recount started that the Teal Nickelett Buller has actually
Speaker 3: been in front, and she's she's increased that lead throughout
Speaker 3: the day. What is happening is informal votes are being
Speaker 3: very closely examined and I'm told that votes that were
Speaker 3: deemed initially informal are now being declared formal because on
Speaker 3: closer examination by scrutineers, they are legitimate votes. Most of
Speaker 3: those votes, most of those informal votes that have been switched,
Speaker 3: have actually been to the benefit of the Liberal Party.
Speaker 3: Some of those will have been to the benefit of
Speaker 3: Nicolete Buller as well, but this is the biggest lead
Speaker 3: she's had so far. Now it's not yet over. They're
Speaker 3: probably only halfway through this recount, but she does now
Speaker 3: lead by twenty one votes. So if it was to
Speaker 3: be declared right now, Nicolette Buller the Teal would win
Speaker 3: this seat. Susan Lee, the new leader of the Liberal Party,
Speaker 3: will join me up to five o'clock and I'll certainly
Speaker 3: be asking the opposition leader from her information on the ground,
Speaker 3: because the political parties received some direct information from their scrutineers.
Speaker 3: Whether she has some confidence that Giselle Captirian can make
Speaker 3: a comeback. She must, because she has given her a
Speaker 3: job in the Outer Shadow Ministry as well. Plenty coming
Speaker 3: up on the program, if you'd like to have your say, one, three, one,
Speaker 3: eight seven, three is our number. This is Sydney. Now
Speaker 3: a lot of feedback about what Chris Mins has said
Speaker 3: about tobacco excise, and I'll come to that feedback in
Speaker 3: just a moment. The Prime Minister, though today has responded
Speaker 3: to American demands for astraight to increase our spending on defense,
Speaker 3: and this was a sort of an issue during the
Speaker 3: election campaign. On the sidelines of the Shangrilad Dialogue meetings
Speaker 3: in Singapore, the US Defense Secretary has suggested to our
Speaker 3: Deputy PM, Richard Miles that we should be increasing our
Speaker 3: spending to three and a half percent of GDP. Now,
Speaker 3: that would amount to about an extra forty billion dollars
Speaker 3: a year, forty billion dollars our federal government doesn't have.
Speaker 3: Anthony Albanesi has now responded what you.
Speaker 12: Should do in defense has decided what you need, your capability,
Speaker 12: and then provide for it.
Speaker 3: That's what my government's doing.
Speaker 12: We're provided an additional ten billion dollars of investment into
Speaker 12: defense over the forward estimates. What we don't do is
Speaker 12: do what the opposition did during the election campaign, where
Speaker 12: they announced an amount of money. I couldn't say where
Speaker 12: the money was coming from, and they couldn't say what
Speaker 12: it was for that makes no sense. What we need
Speaker 12: is things that defend us in real terms, and that's
Speaker 12: what we'll provide.
Speaker 3: The Prime Minister certainly no commitment there. Word on the
Speaker 3: street thanks to temper a great night's sleep, night after night.
Speaker 3: The difference is temper confirmation. One northbound lane to the
Speaker 3: m one the Pacific Motorway has now reopened just past
Speaker 3: that side of a car crash that occurred at Morris
Speaker 3: set So all northbound lanes the motorway they had been
Speaker 3: closed because of that crash, but they're now open once again.
Speaker 3: The diversions have been lifted one three one eight seven three.
Speaker 3: Let's get to some of your calls about tobacco excise. Hello, Nick,
Speaker 3: there you.
Speaker 10: Go mate, Good Nick.
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, I just sexed three before that. Like I
Speaker 11: was using the snake in the legal ones, which your
Speaker 11: customing sixty five dollars a day.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 11: I finally found one of the illegal ones that pretty
Speaker 11: much sell the same brand, that's what I do. But
Speaker 11: they come from the UK, and I got a carton
Speaker 11: for ninety dollars.
Speaker 3: And so you go to a particular retailer, you make
Speaker 3: some sort of coded requests behind the counter there.
Speaker 11: Oh, I know it's all open. You just go on
Speaker 11: and go I want I want the carton of lease
Speaker 11: and they just give them to you.
Speaker 3: And this is the problem in New South Wales that
Speaker 3: there are twelve New South Wales Health inspectors and the
Speaker 3: government is going to double the number of inspectors to
Speaker 3: twenty four. But you walk through most suburbs, you'll see
Speaker 3: five or six to back and it's in the one suburb.
Speaker 3: So twenty four inspectors won't do anything. Hello Bruce.
Speaker 13: Yes, And look on these cigarette prices. Look for a
Speaker 13: packet of twenty five cigarettes. I was in at Words
Speaker 13: the other day and I noticed the price is there
Speaker 13: with seventy dollars from packet of Marlborough the Marlborough Man.
Speaker 13: Seventy dollars a twenty five smokes a lot of money.
Speaker 13: And for a packet of twenty from the dodgy tobacco
Speaker 13: shops around the place, they're twenty dollars. I mean that's
Speaker 13: a difference of fifty dollars.
Speaker 3: And if you're somebody who's been addicted to cigarettes for
Speaker 3: decades and decades, yeah, you're probably going to seed. I'm
Speaker 3: doing the wrong thing. I shouldn't be doing this, But
Speaker 3: it's a big difference, and.
Speaker 13: That fifty dollars it has to be the tax I mean,
Speaker 13: these are criminals, are making a lot of money.
Speaker 10: It's just a crime.
Speaker 3: And if we don't start doing something about it, we're
Speaker 3: going to see a repeat of what happens in Melbourne.
Speaker 3: Happened in Queensland on Friday fire bombings. We've seen a
Speaker 3: couple of them in Sydney this year, but nothing compared
Speaker 3: to what's experienced interstate in the turf war that's broken
Speaker 3: out in Melbourne and particularly parts of southeast Queensland over
Speaker 3: tobacco territory. It's what's fueling the drug crime in this
Speaker 3: City's cocaine, but tobacco is next.
Speaker 10: Hello, Larry, Hey, how are you good?
Speaker 14: Good mate, I'm just a call that I'm just the
Speaker 14: first time callers. I'm a little bit nervous, welcome mate.
Speaker 14: Regarding the tobaccoos, I'm curious on how they measure that
Speaker 14: smoking has decreased through excise going up and they know
Speaker 14: or how do they not know that? Possibly the reason
Speaker 14: why they think it's gone down is because more and
Speaker 14: more people are smoking the illegal cigarette.
Speaker 3: Really good point you make there, Larry, and we'll see
Speaker 3: we can get some clarification from the authorities on that,
Speaker 3: because if you are buying illegal cigarettes, you're not going
Speaker 3: to be part of the formal statistical data. I would
Speaker 3: think really good point. Think if you call Parry and
Speaker 3: good afternoon, Josh Bryant, good.
Speaker 15: Afternoon, Clinton. The Premier wants the current federal excise on
Speaker 15: tobacco to be reduced, saying the massive increase in the
Speaker 15: cost recently is adding to the explosion of elicit tobacco sales.
Speaker 15: A car has driven through a church in the Illawara,
Speaker 15: leaving one person with minor injuries. At West Woollongong, the
Speaker 15: FBI is treating a fire attack in the US state
Speaker 15: of Colorado as an act of terrorism after six people
Speaker 15: were set alight during a walk to support Israeli hostages,
Speaker 15: and three humpback whales have delighted onlookers in the water
Speaker 15: near Manly Pier, briefly forcing ferries to slow down. Services
Speaker 15: now running as normal. In sport, reports in England claimed
Speaker 15: Tottenham will announce the sacking of Ange postera Conglu later
Speaker 15: this week. The Aussie manager led Spurs to the Europa
Speaker 15: League title, but also presided over their worst Premier League
Speaker 15: season in almost fifty years.
Speaker 8: We'll have more news than sported for.
Speaker 3: Thank you Josh Mark guy joining us after five point
Speaker 3: thirty talking sport, and that's likely to happen. Ange Posta
Speaker 3: Conglu is expecting to be sacked to spot the fact
Speaker 3: Tottenham won the Europa League trophy. In all of Ange
Speaker 3: Postera Coglo's career, he always wins trophies, particularly in the
Speaker 3: second year with his club, but he's going to get
Speaker 3: the punt. Nevertheless, won three, one, eight, seven, threes and
Speaker 3: number Bindi Irwin has returned home. She was in the
Speaker 3: United States when she suffered appendicitis and was in hospital
Speaker 3: for some time. But she is back. Good afternoon, Peter Ford.
Speaker 10: Yeah, thank goodness she is, and I'm sure she's thrill.
Speaker 10: I know her mum, Terry. Certainly she's taken to social media.
Speaker 10: It's been obviously a troubling more than three weeks since
Speaker 10: she's first left. Was meant to be a quick work trip,
Speaker 10: if you like, to go to Las Vegas to attend
Speaker 10: the Big Gala, but then just hours before it, she
Speaker 10: took six She was airlifted from Las Vegas to New York,
Speaker 10: where not only did she have the appendix removed, but
Speaker 10: she also had fourteen endometriosis lesions removed as well. Then
Speaker 10: she couldn't fly and it won't let you do a
Speaker 10: long flight after that sort of surgery, so she's had
Speaker 10: to basically wait and wait, and now finally she's back
Speaker 10: on home turf again.
Speaker 3: And she she's going to make a full recovery, isn't she.
Speaker 10: Well totally. Yeah, she's in good spirits and I think,
Speaker 10: you know, obviously for Terry, it's been a difficult time
Speaker 10: to know where do you base yourself. You want to
Speaker 10: be with your daughter, You've got the business to run.
Speaker 10: You also got a child, and of course she got
Speaker 10: a grandchild because Bindy's a mum. So yeah, it's been
Speaker 10: a rough time, but it's all ended up very well.
Speaker 3: Hannah Gadsby has revealed her surprise friendship with Laurita Swift
Speaker 3: of mash fame, who passed away last Yeah.
Speaker 10: I thought this was kind of cute. I love these
Speaker 10: sort of random show business friendships. So over the weekend,
Speaker 10: Loretta Swift died. She was eighty seven years old, and
Speaker 10: that kind of plays with your mind.
Speaker 3: To imagine that actually I.
Speaker 10: Know, well, she's kind of frozen in time, isn't she
Speaker 10: For those of us who grew up watching Mash and
Speaker 10: her as Hot Lips, you know when she did other
Speaker 10: things after Mash, but nothing I don't think, you know
Speaker 10: ingrained itself into our brains in the way that Hot
Speaker 10: Lips did. So it was sort of surprising to see
Speaker 10: that she was eighty seven years old, but Hannah Gatsby
Speaker 10: took to social media to reveal that some years back,
Speaker 10: Loretta Switt came to one of her shows in New
Speaker 10: York and came backstage to meet her, and they struck
Speaker 10: up a very strong personal friendship, and you know, despite
Speaker 10: the age difference, they got along famously. And Loretta actually
Speaker 10: was a painter and did a number of paintings for
Speaker 10: Hannah of her dogs through the years. So I just
Speaker 10: thought it was a sweet little story to show that
Speaker 10: in business, you know, sometimes opposite steer track.
Speaker 3: It's hard to believe Loretta was eighty seven years of age,
Speaker 3: I guess. And this is the reality of show business.
Speaker 3: What we tend to remember people in their starring roles,
Speaker 3: and whether it was thirty forty years ago, they're stuck
Speaker 3: in time because of.
Speaker 10: That, and most of them are quite happy to be
Speaker 10: They stuck in people's minds looking a certain way, and
Speaker 10: many of them go to great legs to make sure
Speaker 10: they continue to.
Speaker 1: Look that way.
Speaker 3: Good on you, Peter. We'll talk tomorrow. Thanks Clinton, Peter
Speaker 3: Ford twenty four to four. Late last year, the new
Speaker 3: South Wales government introduced Jack's Law. These a new knife
Speaker 3: laws targeting specifically young offenders, and under these laws, police
Speaker 3: can now use scanners to literally scan people they suspect
Speaker 3: maybe carrying knives. There's been an operation that's been conducted
Speaker 3: in the Aubrey region and over the course of Friday,
Speaker 3: ninety eight people were scanned using these new laws handheld
Speaker 3: scanning devices. The police have they arrested four people. Four
Speaker 3: weapons and prohibited drugs were detected and charges have been laiden.
Speaker 3: These four people will before the courts. But this is
Speaker 3: an example where Jack's Law is so important because more
Speaker 3: and more people, sadly, particularly younger people, are arming themselves
Speaker 3: with knives. But the threat that these scanners, that beliefs
Speaker 3: are going to be armed with these scanners themselves, will
Speaker 3: at least help them fight back. A little earlier, I
Speaker 3: spoke with a marine biologist about the pod of Wales
Speaker 3: that has been spotted at Manley this afternoon and it
Speaker 3: is now whales season. They're making their migration to the north,
Speaker 3: but it meant that the Manly Ferry had to slow down.
Speaker 3: There's been some delays to ferry services as a result.
Speaker 3: We understand the fairies now back to normal. So I've
Speaker 3: had two messages from our listeners suggesting maybe we should
Speaker 3: have spoken to George Costanza about the Wales. You cast
Speaker 3: your mind back to that very famous Seinfeld episode back
Speaker 3: in the nineties where George made out to one of
Speaker 3: his prospective dates that he, in fact was a marine biologist,
Speaker 3: and Kramer was playing golf and shooting golf balls practicing
Speaker 3: his driving on the coastline one day, and actually he
Speaker 3: drove a golf ball that landed in the whole of
Speaker 3: one of the wales, and because George was so called
Speaker 3: marine biologist, he was the one who had to save
Speaker 3: the day.
Speaker 16: So I started to walk into the water.
Speaker 17: From out of nowhere, a huge title wave lifted me,
Speaker 17: tossed me like a cork, and I found myself right
Speaker 17: on top of them, to.
Speaker 2: Face with the blowhole.
Speaker 17: I could barely see from the waves crashing down upon me,
Speaker 17: but I knew something was there so I reached my
Speaker 17: hand there, felt around and pulled out the obstruction all
Speaker 17: in one.
Speaker 3: I now know who we should be speaking to about
Speaker 3: Wales while watching in Sharks George Gustans of the Marine Biologist.
Speaker 3: We'd be lost without organizations like the Country Women's Association.
Speaker 3: The CWA has just announced they're activating their disaster Relief
Speaker 3: Fund now. This is going to be financial support for
Speaker 3: people who've been affected by the Mid North Coast and
Speaker 3: the Hunter Valley floods. Up to half a million dollars
Speaker 3: has been initially emarked for flood recovery efforts. Up to
Speaker 3: two hundred and fifty thousand dollars is also allocated to
Speaker 3: those who are affected by drought at the moment. And
Speaker 3: we should remember that despite the fact we've been talking
Speaker 3: so much about the floods and the Mid North Coast
Speaker 3: and the Hunter Valley, there are so many farmers and
Speaker 3: districts across New South Wales that are affected by drought
Speaker 3: and we're going to have a closer look at that
Speaker 3: on the program in the next couple of weeks as well.
Speaker 3: So good on the CWA. They will commit five hundred
Speaker 3: thousand dollars to flood recovery coming up after five o'clock.
Speaker 3: As I mentioned, I'll be speaking with Susan Lee, the
Speaker 3: new Opposition leader. And the reason part of the is
Speaker 3: I'll be talking to Susan is because she's been on
Speaker 3: the mid North Coast today having a look at the
Speaker 3: devastation herself. And it's for politicians. I know they do
Speaker 3: like a picture opportunity, but it's actually important for them
Speaker 3: to have a look at the real damage so when
Speaker 3: they're there lobbying for financial assistance, they actually know what
Speaker 3: they're talking about. One three one eight seven three. A
Speaker 3: new tourism campaign has been launched today for Destiny Southwest, Destination,
Speaker 3: New South Wales and the state government. It's called the
Speaker 3: Feel New campaign and it's a little bit different. Now
Speaker 3: when you think of Cidney, what do you think of
Speaker 3: I think of the Harbor Bridge, think of the Opera House,
Speaker 3: and we have some wonderful other icons in our city
Speaker 3: as well and surrounds Manly b which as we're been
Speaker 3: talking about today with the Wales, the Royal National Park
Speaker 3: in the south to the Blue Mountains, the Three Sisters.
Speaker 3: But this is going to be a campaign that'll be
Speaker 3: a little bit different. It's not going to focus on
Speaker 3: our icons because there's been some new research that's found
Speaker 3: that many people, particularly domestically, they know that we've got
Speaker 3: the Opera House and we have the Harbour Bridge, but
Speaker 3: they're not coming here because they don't think Sydney offers
Speaker 3: anything else. I'm a little bit surprised by that finding.
Speaker 3: I'm going to play part of an ad for you
Speaker 3: that's going to be part of the campaign.
Speaker 2: Got that empty fridge feeling, Yeah, the best feeling.
Speaker 3: So a Blocus has opened a fridge and there's a
Speaker 3: wet lettuce leap inside it. This one he's dissatisfied with it.
Speaker 8: Go on again.
Speaker 3: Then he comes to Sydney and he has dinner in Sydney.
Speaker 2: It's not a spread.
Speaker 3: And then he relaxes in Sydney and goes for a run.
Speaker 3: It's part of a marathon.
Speaker 18: I haven't felt that before.
Speaker 3: So in the ad, you don't see the icons, you
Speaker 3: don't see the Harbour Bridge. You do see a bunch
Speaker 3: of going for a run, and you see a lovely
Speaker 3: meal at a restaurant. And apparently this is the way
Speaker 3: the experts have determined that we need to sell the city.
Speaker 3: I'm actually not so sure about that. Margi Osborne is
Speaker 3: the Sea of the Transport and Tourism Forum. She is
Speaker 3: an expert in this area. Margie, thank you for your time.
Speaker 19: Afternoon, Clinton.
Speaker 3: What do you think of the campaign feel now?
Speaker 19: Well, look, I actually think it's very clever. It's reflecting
Speaker 19: what is a global trend now right. People want secret getaways,
Speaker 19: you know, they go to lots of places and see
Speaker 19: the icons, but for many of them, they want to
Speaker 19: see how locals live. So it's about whether you want
Speaker 19: to do yoga on a kayak in the harbor, which
Speaker 19: is part of one of the campaigns, or whether you
Speaker 19: want to go on a secret and very beautiful jog
Speaker 19: around some parts of the city, or whether you want
Speaker 19: to go to a really great bar and hear live
Speaker 19: music on a Sunday afternoon. So it's really about offering
Speaker 19: people other options and read discovering their city. So it's
Speaker 19: about domestic tourism. So for a lot of those people
Speaker 19: that are coming here, they might have seen the big
Speaker 19: the big things before. This is about reassuring them that
Speaker 19: there is so much more to do in Sydney.
Speaker 3: And that's a really fair point because I think some
Speaker 3: of that does get lost sometimes. The research from destination
Speaker 3: New South Wales. Their Brand Engagement Monitor survey conducted just
Speaker 3: last month and April, shows that seventy nine percent of
Speaker 3: Australian travelers have been to Sydney before. But we're currently
Speaker 3: ranked third in consideration of where we'd actually want Australians
Speaker 3: would want to go. We're not at the top of
Speaker 3: the list. Is that because Queensland's at the top.
Speaker 19: Well, yes, it is the indefatigable Gold Coast. Everybody goes
Speaker 19: to the Goldie for a whole lot of reason.
Speaker 3: And so do you. I guess you don't go to
Speaker 3: the Gold Coast to look at an icon. You go
Speaker 3: to a Gold Coast to experience the beach, to go
Speaker 3: to the theme parks and have more of an experience.
Speaker 19: Yeah, you do. And I think that's all about what
Speaker 19: this campaign is about too. I think the other thing
Speaker 19: is it's about the liveability of the city. Step beyond
Speaker 19: the tourism outcomes, critically important as they are, this is
Speaker 19: also about making Sydney clearly be seen as the kind
Speaker 19: of city you want to live in. Now that's really
Speaker 19: important from the context of future investment in Sydney and
Speaker 19: New South While bringing highly skilled professionals here that perhaps
Speaker 19: we haven't got enough off yere in Australia, bringing them
Speaker 19: to Sydney and making them feel like it's an exciting
Speaker 19: place to live.
Speaker 3: See, I don't want you too critical of the ad market,
Speaker 3: because easy to jump up and down about these things.
Speaker 3: When I saw the ad for the first time, what
Speaker 3: jumped out at me? So it features one of those
Speaker 3: four ads. One of it's a bloke empty opens a
Speaker 3: fridge and there's just a wet let us leave there.
Speaker 3: So he's into state. He wants to experience something better
Speaker 3: than what he's stayed office, So he comes to Sydney.
Speaker 3: He has a lovely dinner and he goes for a
Speaker 3: run with the marathon runners. And see to me that
Speaker 3: that could be done anywhere. You can have a nice
Speaker 3: dinner in Adelaide if you want it. You can have
Speaker 3: a nice dinner in Perth or Brisbane. So I would
Speaker 3: have thought we need to demonstrate how Sydney is different,
Speaker 3: how we bring something to the tourist experience.
Speaker 19: Well, what they've actually done is they've got a series
Speaker 19: of ambassadors who all give their sort of version of
Speaker 19: if not a perfect day, their top three things to
Speaker 19: do in Sydney and they're all wildly different, so there's
Speaker 19: a whole lot of options as part of the campaign.
Speaker 19: But I think the real issue here is it's about
Speaker 19: seeing the city anew as you rightly point out, lots
Speaker 19: of people have been here before and there is so
Speaker 19: much more than the Harbor Bridge.
Speaker 20: And the Opera House.
Speaker 19: Wonderful as they are, there's a lot more to do
Speaker 19: and this is really just about highlighting those things. Now.
Speaker 19: The ad that has the linked letter sleep in the Fridge,
Speaker 19: I think is more about feeling you know, you get
Speaker 19: home at the end of the day and you open
Speaker 19: the fridge dooring a too hard, but it's really about
Speaker 19: emphasizing the fact that there's so much to do in Sydney.
Speaker 19: You can just go out and get something wonderful to eat.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 3: The argument always is that Melbourne has bigger sporting crowds
Speaker 3: than we do in Sydney because there's nothing to do there,
Speaker 3: so you just go to the football where you're so
Speaker 3: much to do in Sydney.
Speaker 19: Well. I think this is what we have to do, though,
Speaker 19: is remind everybody of all those wonderful things you've got
Speaker 19: to do in Sydney. I mean Sydney is a city
Speaker 19: of villagers too, and we've all got our own secret
Speaker 19: best options of places we like.
Speaker 21: To go and see.
Speaker 19: Those are the things that visitors want to do.
Speaker 1: Too.
Speaker 5: Good on you, Margie, my pleasure in Tarley.
Speaker 3: Glynn, Margie Osmond. Who's to see are the Tourism and
Speaker 3: Transport Forum. Have a look at the ads. You'll see
Speaker 3: them on the TV in the next couple of days.
Speaker 3: They'll mostly feature in the state though, So it's about experience.
Speaker 3: This is about what it's like to live in Sydney,
Speaker 3: not so much about seeing the Opera House and the
Speaker 3: Harbor Bridge. And I understand the philosophy that most Australians
Speaker 3: know that if you come to Sydney you see the
Speaker 3: Opera House and the Harbor Bridge and Free Sisters in
Speaker 3: the Blue Mountains. I still think you want to show
Speaker 3: why Sydney is so spectacular because we have an advantage
Speaker 3: of every other destination around the country that they don't
Speaker 3: have those icons. I mean, what's an icon of Melbourne,
Speaker 3: what's the icon of Brisbane? Yep, it's the weather in Queensland.
Speaker 3: It's not the weather in Melbourne, although the weather is
Speaker 3: not that great in city today. If you were developing
Speaker 3: a campaign to encourage people to come here, to come
Speaker 3: to Sydney. What would you want to see? What will
Speaker 3: your selling point be? Would it be the fact you
Speaker 3: can go and run a marathon? Probably not, but that's
Speaker 3: what they've picked. Three eight seventy three, A travel warning
Speaker 3: has been issued for Ballei through Smart Traveler and Bali
Speaker 3: in other parts of Indonesia. This is because of concerns
Speaker 3: about water safety, drink spiking and methanol poisoning. There's been
Speaker 3: an update to Smart Traveler warning the dangers presented by
Speaker 3: unpatrolled beaches in Indonesia, noting Australians are previously drowned a
Speaker 3: popular tourist beaches with rough seas and strong rip currents.
Speaker 3: Tourists are also being warned about leaving food and drink
Speaker 3: unattended when they're going to various venues around Bali, noting
Speaker 3: dangers posed by drink spiking a methanol poisoning and has
Speaker 3: been recorded across Indonesia, including Ballei and Lombok. Australians are
Speaker 3: also advised to ensure their passports are in good condition
Speaker 3: and review local cultural and custom customs religious customs before
Speaker 3: they travel overseas drink spiking is an issue in Balley,
Speaker 3: but it is an issue across much of Southeast Asia.
Speaker 6: If it matters to you, you'll hear it here Sydney
Speaker 6: Now with Clinton Maynard Until said.
Speaker 3: This is another example of one of the ads of
Speaker 3: the new tourist campaign that has just been released. Got
Speaker 3: that beans on toast again feeling.
Speaker 18: Try this feeling.
Speaker 3: So now there's a shot of somebody going to scoop
Speaker 3: the drive of its niss.
Speaker 13: That's it, shake it out.
Speaker 3: Package, lovely dinner at a market.
Speaker 2: Haven't felt that before?
Speaker 3: And so that's the tagline, haven't felt that before. It's
Speaker 3: it's that the new advertising campaign to encourage interstate tourists
Speaker 3: to come here. And it does not feature our icons.
Speaker 3: You don't see they have a bridge in the vision.
Speaker 3: And when it refers to beans on toast, this is
Speaker 3: a bloke who's bought with life. He probably lives in
Speaker 3: birth and the only food he can get at his
Speaker 3: place and beans on toast. So he needs to come
Speaker 3: to Sydney for a better feed. One three hat seven
Speaker 3: to three. Anthony's in Kellyville. Hello Anthony, good cleansing.
Speaker 21: There you go?
Speaker 3: Could do you think that's a good advertising campaign would
Speaker 3: encourage you to come here.
Speaker 20: I think it's terrible, but nobody's coming here. Nobody wants
Speaker 20: to come here. We're over price, we're overrated. Our city
Speaker 20: closes at nine o'clock. Unlessually spending big money to go out.
Speaker 20: It's unaffordable. Other cities in the world, such as Tokyo
Speaker 20: are much better value for money.
Speaker 1: Now I've only been abody coming here.
Speaker 3: I've only been to Tokyo Airport. I wasn't able to
Speaker 3: actually visit the city itself. My impression was Japan was
Speaker 3: very expensive.
Speaker 1: Is that not right? Absolutely? Not a very last year.
Speaker 20: I'm going in twenty eight I'm going in twenty six days.
Speaker 20: I just told you the other the other gentlemen, it's
Speaker 20: postul It was going to cost me seven hundred and
Speaker 20: fifty dollars to get a minivan from Kellyville to the
Speaker 20: airport to take my family over there. It's cost me
Speaker 20: two hundred and ten dollars to get from the airport
Speaker 20: to the hotel. It is affordable. The customer service to
Speaker 20: none compared to what we offer here. We're not in
Speaker 20: the international city anymore. We might have been, but we're
Speaker 20: no longer.
Speaker 1: Mate.
Speaker 3: I certainly agree with you when you say that Sidney
Speaker 3: closes at nine o'clock and that is a complaint, and
Speaker 3: chris Min's talks about that all the time. I do think,
Speaker 3: and yes, I agree, Sydney's also expensive, but most international
Speaker 3: cities are hideously expensive. I was surprised that the last
Speaker 3: time I went to London thought I thought the food
Speaker 3: in London was going to be very expensive. But I'd
Speaker 3: say Sydney was a little bit more expensive, but relatively
Speaker 3: a lot of other things in Sydney are cheaper than
Speaker 3: most European cities and certainly some of the United States.
Speaker 3: Hey good on you, Anthony. Think if your call on
Speaker 3: the text line, Paul says Margie Osmond, she could make
Speaker 3: a heart attack sound like a pleasant experience. Well, she
Speaker 3: putting a positive spin on it. Tony says the advertising
Speaker 3: campaign sounds like a load of drivel. Barbara says, what
Speaker 3: they should do is they should show people taking a
Speaker 3: ride on a ferry showing our beautiful sparkling water. Well
Speaker 3: in one of the ads, the ad that I just
Speaker 3: played did feature the bloke who wants the baked beans
Speaker 3: on it does what the bake bens on toast who
Speaker 3: lives in Perth he's actually enjoying scuba diving. So it
Speaker 3: does show some of those sites. And I completely understand
Speaker 3: the thought that people who live in Adelaide or Darwin,
Speaker 3: they know that we have the Harbor Bridge, but it's
Speaker 3: such a selling point I think we shouldn't actually ignore
Speaker 3: that we have those features.
Speaker 2: Until six.
Speaker 6: This is Sydney now with Clinton Maynard on two GB
Speaker 6: call now one three one three.
Speaker 3: The new Sydney fish Market will open soon and that's
Speaker 3: going to mean a change to the name of the
Speaker 3: light rail stop. Now currently there is a light rail stop.
Speaker 3: It's just actually near the radio station here and it's
Speaker 3: the Sydney fish Market light rail Station. Well it's going
Speaker 3: to change its name to the Bank Street light rail Station.
Speaker 3: But the Geographical Names Board today has announced their seeking
Speaker 3: community feedback on the proposal to rename it. They don't
Speaker 3: believe they can continue with the name the fish Market
Speaker 3: light rail because the fish Market is going to be
Speaker 3: now a short walk instead of basically a stone throw away,
Speaker 3: so it's going to be known as the Bank Street
Speaker 3: light rail station. The New South Wales Surveyor General NoREL
Speaker 3: Underwood says the final decision hasn't been made yet. So
Speaker 3: they're seeking community feedback.
Speaker 22: Rename Fish Market light rail stocks as Bank Street light
Speaker 22: rail stock, so that because the Sydney Fish Market, as
Speaker 22: many people would be aware, is relocating later this year
Speaker 22: and we need to update the name of the existing
Speaker 22: white rail stock to avoid confusions for passengers.
Speaker 3: I appreciate that's absolutely but Bank Street light rail stop,
Speaker 3: I think that's a little bit dull. It's not like
Speaker 3: Bank Street is a well known road across Sydney. It's
Speaker 3: not George Street or Pitt Street aord. I thought we
Speaker 3: could have come with something a little more creative. Coming
Speaker 3: up after the news, we're going to have a look
Speaker 3: at supermarket prices. Coals and Wohers are engaged in a
Speaker 3: big battle.
Speaker 8: At the moment.
Speaker 2: This is Sydney now.
Speaker 3: We Clinton on t GB seven past four. This news
Speaker 3: has just broken in the sporting Well Glen Naxwell has
Speaker 3: announced he is quitting one day international cricket. I mean
Speaker 3: he's been a mainstay the Australian team for years now.
Speaker 3: He's played old eyes for thirteen years. May's deboot for
Speaker 3: the Aussie's back in twenty twelve. He has scored almost
Speaker 3: four thousand runs from one hundred and forty nine One
Speaker 3: Day Internationals. He's thirty six now, so obviously he's getting on,
Speaker 3: but he's going to quit One Day International cricket. I
Speaker 3: should point out a fabulous player over the years, Glenn Maxwell.
Speaker 3: I should point out that he's going to continue playing
Speaker 3: twenty twenty and he'll probably play in the IPL until
Speaker 3: he's about fifty or sixty. All the crookers want to
Speaker 3: keep playing in the IPL because that's where all the
Speaker 3: money is. But certainly I think one of Australia's the
Speaker 3: greatest one day in to national players in the past
Speaker 3: twenty thirty years. Marcus Stoyness and Stephen Smith have both
Speaker 3: also retired from One Day Internationals over the past year
Speaker 3: or so, so certainly changing face the Australian cricket team.
Speaker 3: Seven past four, the state government cracked the Champagne laid
Speaker 3: on My program on Friday afternoon. The Transmitister John Graham
Speaker 3: joined us to announce that the long running industrial dispute
Speaker 3: with the Combined Rail Unions that is crippled Sydney's train
Speaker 3: network could finally come to an end, and was on
Speaker 3: the show to trumpet the three year deal that he'd
Speaker 3: arranged he'd come to with the combined rail unions for
Speaker 3: a twelve percent pay rise. Now, I say the combined
Speaker 3: rail unions because there's been several unions involved in this
Speaker 3: dispute for the last will effectively the last couple of years.
Speaker 3: And I actually asked the Minister could he guarantee that
Speaker 3: there'd be no industrial action now for the next three
Speaker 3: years over the course of this agreement. He couldn't actually
Speaker 3: give that promise. And given we're dealing with unions, I
Speaker 3: can understand why he couldn't actually provide that guarantee very wise,
Speaker 3: because let's be honest, you can't trust them.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 3: Of course, after we finished up on air on Friday,
Speaker 3: over the weekend, it was revealed that the Electrical Trades
Speaker 3: Union is holding out on agreeing to this deal, not
Speaker 3: the rail union itself, not the RTBU, the E TOU. Well,
Speaker 3: I've been in contact with the leadership of the rail union,
Speaker 3: the RTBU over the weekend and they are happy with
Speaker 3: this deal. What they're not happy with is the E
Speaker 3: TOU because, excuse the pun, the ETU is threatening to
Speaker 3: derail the deal. So this is an over The matter
Speaker 3: has been back before the Fair Work Commission. Today you
Speaker 3: see the ETU is unhappy with the way maintenance and
Speaker 3: engineering employees are now categorized in the agreement. Please, it's
Speaker 3: a demarcation dispute between the unions. It has nothing to
Speaker 3: do with us, the commuters. And we're given the impression
Speaker 3: on Friday that all this has been sorted out and
Speaker 3: that be no more suffering for us who use the trains. Well,
Speaker 3: no that's not quite right. This is not over yet.
Speaker 3: At this point there is nothing to stop the ETU
Speaker 3: taking industrial action from July unless this is now sorted out.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 3: I'm hopeful it will be sorted out before the Fair
Speaker 3: Work Commission. The government has definitely settle it and the Rail,
Speaker 3: tram and Bust unit itself, it's done with it. It
Speaker 3: wants this all over also. But if you cast your
Speaker 3: mind back to January, we had an incident in January
Speaker 3: where the entire Sydney raalm network ground or halt in
Speaker 3: the morning. We had been told in the lead up
Speaker 3: to this particular dispute, and the RTBU had told all
Speaker 3: on Sundry that they were going to begin an industrial
Speaker 3: campaign where trains in the outer suburban network would be
Speaker 3: slowed down. And Howard Collins from Sydney Trains was on
Speaker 3: the program. I had the union on the program the
Speaker 3: day before. They all insisted, look, yes, this industrial action
Speaker 3: is taking place, but it would only cause mindor disruption.
Speaker 3: Well lo and behold. The next morning, No, the whole
Speaker 3: of the run network completely shut down. Do you know
Speaker 3: why it's shut down. There was a problem I think
Speaker 3: it was at Bondi, and then there was another at Homebush,
Speaker 3: but there was an electrical problem, and that electrical problem
Speaker 3: couldn't be fixed because the ETU wouldn't fix it. So
Speaker 3: now we're facing that again that yes, an agreement has
Speaker 3: been reached with most of the unions involved in this dispute,
Speaker 3: but not the E TOU, which means, what's to stop
Speaker 3: them taking industrial action for instance, next month, unless this
Speaker 3: is sort of out in the next couple of weeks.
Speaker 3: Well nothing. Now I think they're going to be desperate,
Speaker 3: the government will be desperate. Sidney Trains management, we're desperate
Speaker 3: to get this sort of out. As a rail union
Speaker 3: official told me yesterday to quote him, he said, this
Speaker 3: is insanity. He was talking about his own union movement.
Speaker 3: The quote is, this is insanity. The rail union covers
Speaker 3: eight and a half thousand workers. The e TOU covers
Speaker 3: eight hundred and sixty so it's student a roughly ten
Speaker 3: percent and potentially they're going to hold up this deal.
Speaker 3: It's not right. Well, it just can't happen because while
Speaker 3: there are eight and a half thousand railway workers under
Speaker 3: the RTBU and there are eight hundred and sixty e
Speaker 3: TOU members, there are more than a million of us
Speaker 3: us the passengers. US, the passengers who pay for our
Speaker 3: opal fares, US, the passengers who pay for our taxes,
Speaker 3: and have been screwed around now for more than a
Speaker 3: year because of the way these unions are behaving.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 3: At least the RTBU has come to the party and
Speaker 3: they've agreed to this deal. At least the state government
Speaker 3: and Transport for your South Wales has finally arranged this deal.
Speaker 3: And yet they'll get a pay rise that's actually bigger
Speaker 3: than what was originally intended, but much smaller than what
Speaker 3: the RTBU was asking for. To think the ETU that
Speaker 3: only represents eight hundred and sixty workers could derail the
Speaker 3: whole thing. It's a glow of garbage. We should not
Speaker 3: be treated like this anymore. The traveling public should not
Speaker 3: be putting up with this anymore, and the state government
Speaker 3: needs to sort it out, and needs to sort it
Speaker 3: out quickly. One three, one eight seven three is my number.
Speaker 3: Now our reports are this afternoon, the trains are actually
Speaker 3: running okay, and hopefully this dispute with the ETO will
Speaker 3: now be resolved in the next couple of days, because
Speaker 3: we can't put up with it any longer.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 3: Coals has announced today they're dropping the prices of hundreds
Speaker 3: of their products. The supermarket Giant has also announced a
Speaker 3: change to their flybys scheme. This is actually part of
Speaker 3: what looks like a war breaking out between Coals Wars anality. Also,
Speaker 3: because it was only a week or so ago, Woars
Speaker 3: made a similar pledge that they were cutting prices of
Speaker 3: four hundred lines. Cole says from Wednesday, customers will save
Speaker 3: on three hundred and seven winter essentials household staples, including meat,
Speaker 3: bakery items, items that you need to stock your pantry with,
Speaker 3: dairy as well. So the supermarket wars hiding up and
Speaker 3: that's good for us the customer. Barry Urkhat is a
Speaker 3: consumed behavior expert with marketing focus and joins us. Hello Barry,
Speaker 3: what do you think is behind this?
Speaker 1: Barry?
Speaker 3: Hello Evan what do you think is behind this change?
Speaker 23: Oh, what's behind of I think that to a large
Speaker 23: extent there's something to do with market forces or consumer behavior.
Speaker 23: It is all to do about the political imperatives. And
Speaker 23: it's up until May three foremost in the lexicon of
Speaker 23: the political arena, and the campaigning was about the injustice
Speaker 23: of the supermarkets with price gouging, with the supplier suppression,
Speaker 23: and all of a sudden, the nationals are starting to say,
Speaker 23: let's have divestment. The spot by this very much retailing
Speaker 23: generally supermarkets in particular, and so consequently, because they are
Speaker 23: the political hot potato, coles will worsen to a lesser
Speaker 23: extentality have responded to that accordingly.
Speaker 3: So even though the election's over and it's been one
Speaker 3: by the Labor Party, you think that the supermarket giants
Speaker 3: are still feeling that pressure, Well, the.
Speaker 23: Spotlights still on them. They're very, very sensitive. Consumers have
Speaker 23: started to speak less about the cost of living crisis,
Speaker 23: but it is a reality that every time they go
Speaker 23: to the supermarket there is a reinforcement drip drip of
Speaker 23: less money, less discretionary purchases, and pressure on their living standards.
Speaker 23: So consequently that's the sort of thing that it's working.
Speaker 23: So they're trying to win the hearts and minds of people.
Speaker 23: But I would say step back, look at history, and
Speaker 23: in all probability this will not be a successful campaign
Speaker 23: by either Coles or or worse, because prior to February
Speaker 23: twenty twenty, with the onset of COVID nineteen a pandemic,
Speaker 23: we had and you will recorded too with the your listeners,
Speaker 23: one dollar liters of milk, two dollars loaves of bread,
Speaker 23: eight dollar hot chickens, and various low prices of eggs.
Speaker 23: Now that didn't work. Well, let me tell you what
Speaker 23: the consequences of those specific price driven campaigns really resulted in. One,
Speaker 23: they sold more products. Two, consumers did not spend more money.
Speaker 23: So consequently you did not have an increase in revenue,
Speaker 23: and in that margins for Squeeze profit went out the door.
Speaker 23: And so in a very short period of time, the
Speaker 23: supermarket said this is not working because we're not getting
Speaker 23: more customers, they're not shopping more regularly, and they're not loyal.
Speaker 23: So it is the sort of thing where it's as
Speaker 23: in this instance, it attracts headlines, but it doesn't improve
Speaker 23: the bottom line.
Speaker 3: When when they cut prices like this, so for coals
Speaker 3: it's three hundred and seven products and for twelve weeks
Speaker 3: for words, it's something like four hundred. Do they then
Speaker 3: increase prices for other, perhaps not commonly purchase products to
Speaker 3: try to make up the difference.
Speaker 23: In a generalized statement, no, I think that's again an
Speaker 23: emotional drive, which is very good media situations, but it's
Speaker 23: not verifiable on the shelves and the bigger markets. And
Speaker 23: that's Sally. Look, there is no question about it. Come Easter,
Speaker 23: the price of Easter eggs went up, but then again,
Speaker 23: chocolates were in very short supply or the basic product
Speaker 23: of chocolates, and so very quickly, all you had to
Speaker 23: do was to say, well, I won't buy my Easter
Speaker 23: eggs this year until the last five days before Easter,
Speaker 23: because they're going to buy up on stop. They're not
Speaker 23: going to be selling the merchandise for a fifty and
Speaker 23: sixty percent price increase and low and behold supply. And surprise,
Speaker 23: what happened five days out from Easter baying fifty percent
Speaker 23: off Easter reg So consumers are smart. Now, this is
Speaker 23: the sort of thing Clinton that you know, let's talk
Speaker 23: about that because I when I read this, I thought, now,
Speaker 23: I can't believe that they're addressing this to the consumers,
Speaker 23: because I thought this will only apply to people who
Speaker 23: have got a graduate degree in the STEM studies were
Speaker 23: a major in mathematics. Three hundred and seven products day,
Speaker 23: twelve weeks, commencing on the fourth of June with an
Speaker 23: average ninety What happened to Tony Abbott being criticized about
Speaker 23: his three word policies stop the boats?
Speaker 10: Let me give you.
Speaker 23: Three successful, long, sustaining, brilliant campaigns in retailing, but out
Speaker 23: of America. Macy's three word policy satisfaction guaranteed period Walnuts
Speaker 23: the biggest and the most successful supermarket and retail chain
Speaker 23: in the world. Three words everyday, lower prices. That's what
Speaker 23: consumers want. Consumers walk the shells of Coles Warl Worls
Speaker 23: and to a Lessex and Elders and then used to
Speaker 23: see signs half price. Half price is a lot better
Speaker 23: than an average of nineteen percent or ten percent improvement
Speaker 23: on the points accumulated by flybys. Now, let me put
Speaker 23: that on that sounds attractive ten times the usual fly
Speaker 23: buys points to qualify for a ten dollars off your bill.
Speaker 23: The average return that you get from your fly guys
Speaker 23: or loyalty programs like the Red War program is about
Speaker 23: two percent. Multiply that by ten it's about twenty percent.
Speaker 23: That's hardly an exciting discounting strategy that is going to
Speaker 23: tract and compel consumers to prefer and become loyal to
Speaker 23: any one particular brand of supermarkets.
Speaker 3: The research calls is conducted with their own customer base
Speaker 3: shows that thirty six percent of their customers, so it's
Speaker 3: more than one in three are actively seeking out specials,
Speaker 3: so more people are looking for cheaper products. In your experience,
Speaker 3: and given that we are going through is still an
Speaker 3: inflationary environment, even though inflations come down. Do you think
Speaker 3: that's accurate?
Speaker 20: Oh?
Speaker 23: Yes, I think it's probably understated. I would put it
Speaker 23: to you that we have gone from discount savers to
Speaker 23: economist savers. Your supermarket shoppers today are smart shoppers. Before
Speaker 23: they go shopping. In close to seventy two percent of instances,
Speaker 23: they go online. They see what the prices are, determine
Speaker 23: what the brands are, look at the outlets, and then
Speaker 23: go out there and buy.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 23: That's replaced windows shopping, so that when they go out,
Speaker 23: regardless of what their post code is, they are very
Speaker 23: very sensitive about price and value and proposition. So I
Speaker 23: think that if Coles and Woolworths really want to understand
Speaker 23: the consumers, let's put price in. And you and I
Speaker 23: have spoken about this over the years. Price is the
Speaker 23: fourth most important thing in the determination of where people buy.
Speaker 23: I've just written an article. I get syndicated by forty
Speaker 23: nine trade and indusue magazines around the world, and I've
Speaker 23: just written an article about value.
Speaker 21: Here is the.
Speaker 23: Message to the board and the management team of both
Speaker 23: Coals and Wilworth.
Speaker 1: If you want to be valued.
Speaker 23: Offer value every day, lower prices consistently across the board
Speaker 23: rather than well here's the point. They have actually reduced
Speaker 23: their product range from thirty five thousand and in the
Speaker 23: full range supermarket down to the metro stores of about
Speaker 23: twenty four thousand products. The consumers are saying, I don't
Speaker 23: care whether it's four hundred with WARL Worsaals three hundred
Speaker 23: and seven with Cahals. When I go shopping, and I
Speaker 23: go in my major shopping but I typically go two
Speaker 23: or three times a week, I'm not interested in whether
Speaker 23: it's three hundred and seven or four hundred. I want
Speaker 23: the less than fifty products that I'm going to buy,
Speaker 23: all of them to be at a discounted.
Speaker 3: Tribe consistently lower prices. I appreciate your inside. Thank you,
Speaker 3: Barry Hey, Sir Glinton Barry erkout from marketing focus. So
Speaker 3: for Coles, it's three hundred and seven products down for
Speaker 3: just twelve weeks and they are staples by an average
Speaker 3: of nineteen percent. For Woers, it will be in the
Speaker 3: vicinity of four hundred. But what do you prefer? Did
Speaker 3: did you like to see those one off savings or consistently,
Speaker 3: as Barry explains, consistently lower prices. Can share experience with
Speaker 3: me one three one eight seven three and we got
Speaker 3: the way. That's Josh Bryant.
Speaker 15: Good afternoon, Quintin twenty two people in Nigeria have been
Speaker 15: arrested in an international sting on sextortion scammers, including two
Speaker 15: who are believed to have been linked to the suicide
Speaker 15: of a sixteen year old Australian. Aaron Patterson, has been
Speaker 15: called to give evidence in her murder trial in Victoria,
Speaker 15: accused of poisoning her in laws with a meal containing
Speaker 15: death cap mushrooms. The pro Minister won't be drawn on
Speaker 15: whether Australia will further increase its defense spending amid pressure
Speaker 15: from the United States to do so, and the latest
Speaker 15: data from the EDDI Scam Center says there's been a
Speaker 15: twenty eight percent increase in financial losses to scams despite
Speaker 15: a drop in overall reports. In sport, Australian all rounder
Speaker 15: Glenn Maxwell's retired from One day International cricket to focus
Speaker 15: on Australia's campaign to win the T twenty World Cup
Speaker 15: next year.
Speaker 8: We'll have more news and sported.
Speaker 18: Five.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Josh. Seventeen degrees in the coast, fifteen degrees
Speaker 3: in Campbelltown at the moment. Quite overcast across much of
Speaker 3: Sydney at the moment. Hopefully those skies clear up for
Speaker 3: to because the aurora should be expected to be seen
Speaker 3: across much of Sydney again tonight. I don't know if
Speaker 3: you saw it last night. I missed it, but there
Speaker 3: was a wonderful pink glow of Sydney's beaches and you
Speaker 3: could see this so all the way from Kouma through
Speaker 3: to Tamworth. This is quite a spectacular site. It's a
Speaker 3: solar storm that's raging on the Aurora. But if the
Speaker 3: overcast conditions continue this evening, you might not be able
Speaker 3: to see that. I was from across to Simon. Simon's
Speaker 3: in Libken with a bit of a drama on the road.
Speaker 21: Hi, Simon that Clinton, I've got a car and broke down.
Speaker 21: He's onsten Hilly Is facing northbound just before Paramotta Roads.
Speaker 3: Okay, so you are you're on PARAMOUNTA Road, so you're
Speaker 3: just near Parameda Road, are you?
Speaker 21: Yeah, I'm actually on sen Hillis going towards Paramounta Road.
Speaker 21: But he's actually just about half five hundred meters from
Speaker 21: Paramount Road on Saint Hilios.
Speaker 3: Okay, is he causing any delays there yet?
Speaker 18: Oh?
Speaker 21: Yeah, because he's blocking two lanes, so it's hen really
Speaker 21: down to one lane?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 3: What was he merging between two lanes at the time
Speaker 3: or something?
Speaker 20: Was he?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 21: I think I spoke to the guy. He said he
Speaker 21: had a bit of some road rage, and I mean
Speaker 21: guys taking his keys what And he's also asking for
Speaker 21: a toey He's asking me He's like he had organized
Speaker 21: a toe.
Speaker 3: So hang on the drive. The driver of the car,
Speaker 3: somebody has taken his keys when he's stuck.
Speaker 21: Well, that's what he said to me. Yeah, because I'm
Speaker 21: in a truck. So he's just opened a side door
Speaker 21: to let me know, and he was asking for a
Speaker 21: towey to get him out of off the road to
Speaker 21: the side and eventually he had some road raiser and
Speaker 21: somebody's taking his keys. Apparently he's got no power steering.
Speaker 3: Apparently we can't drive the car without keys either. Simon,
Speaker 3: thanks letting us know about that. We'll actually check that
Speaker 3: with the police. So soon Hill he is rode Lidkem
Speaker 3: just before you're coming on to Paramatta Road. You've got
Speaker 3: someone in the car there who has no keys. Very
Speaker 3: difficult to drive your car without any keys. We'll speak
Speaker 3: with the police about that because from what Simon's telling
Speaker 3: us is a truck driver there was some sort of
Speaker 3: road rage incident and the blok has lost his set
Speaker 3: of keys. Quite bizarre.
Speaker 1: You'll want to know.
Speaker 6: What's happening in Sydney stay June to Sydney out with
Speaker 6: Clinton later.
Speaker 3: On to June twenty five to five. Earlier on the program,
Speaker 3: I was talking about the new tourism campaign that's been
Speaker 3: launched for New South Wales. And this is a campaign
Speaker 3: that doesn't feature our icons because it's trying to encourage
Speaker 3: people from inter state to come to Sydney. And based
Speaker 3: on the research that's been conducted by Destination New South Wales,
Speaker 3: they've found that well, people into state, they've already seen
Speaker 3: the Opera House, they know all about the Harbor Bridge,
Speaker 3: so they're not going to come to Sydney for those icons.
Speaker 3: They need to come to Sydney to have an experience.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 3: Interestingly, a list has been released about beaches around the
Speaker 3: world and this has actually found that two of our
Speaker 3: most famous beaches in Sydney are on the list of
Speaker 3: the most disappointing beaches across the globe. The list of
Speaker 3: the top twenty most complained about beaches worldwide now number
Speaker 3: one is Kaki, follow followed by Hawaii of course, followed
Speaker 3: by Venice Beach. But there are two Australian beaches to
Speaker 3: Sydney beaches that are actually on this list. Bondai Bondi
Speaker 3: Beach is ranked ninth most disappointing beach in the world.
Speaker 3: Manly Beach is the twentieth most disappointing beach in the world.
Speaker 3: How could Manly be one of the most disappointing beaches
Speaker 3: in the world. When we had the pot of whales,
Speaker 3: well that was really around Manly Cove a little earlier
Speaker 3: in the harbor. Manly has scored up forty seven point
Speaker 3: four percent because it has a high dirty score. Apparently
Speaker 3: there's a lot of concern about dirt in the water,
Speaker 3: dirty water, but also overcrowding and noise disruption. But Bondai
Speaker 3: is even worse. It has an overcrowding percentage just seventy
Speaker 3: five point nine percent and noise disruption as well. So
Speaker 3: Bondi and Manly on the list of the twenty most
Speaker 3: complaint about beaches in the world on Sydney.
Speaker 2: Now you can't handle the true the strakes into.
Speaker 3: The biggest issue in state politics this week is going
Speaker 3: to be the future of our worker's compensation skill and
Speaker 3: that's because it's blown out. The reason it's blown out
Speaker 3: is because of claims for psychological injuries in the workplace,
Speaker 3: mental health issues. And it's the labor government that actually
Speaker 3: wants to address this and they want to make some
Speaker 3: significant changes where there'll be different tests that judge the
Speaker 3: psychological industry. In fact, that there could be a whole
Speaker 3: separate system to deal with this particular problem, and I
Speaker 3: wanted to talk to Craig Laundy, who's our straight shooter
Speaker 3: on Monday, about this one, because he's in the world
Speaker 3: of business and smaller medium business, but also he's a
Speaker 3: former Liberal MP and there's a lot of pressure right
Speaker 3: now on the Liberal Party. Hello Craig, Hey Clinton, how
Speaker 3: are you. I'm good. The reason I say there's a
Speaker 3: lot of pressure in Liberal Party because as we go
Speaker 3: to are right now there is a shadow Cabinet meeting
Speaker 3: on and during the Shadow Cabinet meeting, which is led
Speaker 3: by Mark Speakman, they are discussing legislation that's going to
Speaker 3: go to State Parliament. This is Daniel Mookie, the treasure
Speaker 3: of the l Eber Treasurer's legislation to go to Parliament
Speaker 3: this week to make changes to the way workers' compensation,
Speaker 3: but particularly the way mental health claims are treated. The
Speaker 3: reason for this is and this has been an issue
Speaker 3: for some years though I Care being financially unsustainable. This
Speaker 3: is the main workers compensation insurance body in New South Wales,
Speaker 3: so Daniel Wookie's had a look at it and he
Speaker 3: basically wants to change the way mental health has dealt with.
Speaker 3: They say the government says if these changes aren't approved
Speaker 3: by Parliament, it will lead to a dramatic increase in
Speaker 3: premiums for businesses. It will hurt the taxpayer as well
Speaker 3: that funds obviously public claims. At the moment. Now, my
Speaker 3: information is that no decision as we go to air
Speaker 3: right now has been made by the Liberal Party and
Speaker 3: the Nationals about whether they'll support this legislation or not. Now,
Speaker 3: when you think about it, it would be very much
Speaker 3: a Liberal Party core philosophy to support this change.
Speaker 24: It's like I'm living in a parallel universe. I mean,
Speaker 24: we've just come out of a federal election where they
Speaker 24: got delivered a message loud and clear, and you have
Speaker 24: a state opposition Liberal coalition, Liberal National Coalition government that
Speaker 24: are looking at turning their back. And let's put some
Speaker 24: numbers on this, Clinton. There's been a twenty six percent
Speaker 24: increase in workers' comp insurance premiums over the past three years,
Speaker 24: and it is forecast that the next three years, if
Speaker 24: the system is left unabated, there will be thirty six
Speaker 24: percent increase.
Speaker 8: And it's just how you.
Speaker 24: Could not And every major employer in the country is
Speaker 24: calling on the LIB and the Nats who are well,
Speaker 24: you know those people are the Libs and the Gnats
Speaker 24: core constituents.
Speaker 3: Now, if you don't if you don't run a small business,
Speaker 3: you don't work in you don't work in the management
Speaker 3: of a medium sized business or a large business, you
Speaker 3: probably don't have a clue about this. But workers compensation
Speaker 3: premiums are paid by every business. It's compulsory to have
Speaker 3: workers compensation insurance. So if the premiums go up, that's
Speaker 3: going to increase the costs of every every single business
Speaker 3: in our state, which is going to be passed on
Speaker 3: to our listeners.
Speaker 2: It's passed on.
Speaker 24: And this system is so bad Clinton in its design
Speaker 24: that when you incur the cost, it's added to your
Speaker 24: premium for the following three years by the insurance company.
Speaker 24: So this is a cost that is born four times
Speaker 24: what business once a year, once at the start, and
Speaker 24: then for the following three years. And no one gets that.
Speaker 24: And the drama I've got is the people sitting around
Speaker 24: the shadow Cabinet table today this afternoon, and the parallel
Speaker 24: universe thing. It's the Labor Party that is making sense
Speaker 24: yet again on a key economic issue that should be
Speaker 24: bread and butter for the Libs and the Nats.
Speaker 3: I've got a quote here from Mark Speakman held a
Speaker 3: press conference mid afternoon and he was asked about what
Speaker 3: the position would be of shadow cabinet on this. He said,
Speaker 3: we will do our very best this afternoon as a
Speaker 3: shadow cabinet and tomorrow in a joint party room. So
Speaker 3: the Liberals and Nationals meet on the first day of
Speaker 3: parliament for the week tomorrow to sect the issue and
Speaker 3: announce our position. So they haven't come to a position yet.
Speaker 24: Which which is crazy, and they're hiding behind the fig
Speaker 24: leaf that this is being foist upon them. Everyone knows
Speaker 24: this system has been broken. No one's been hundred and
Speaker 24: they weren't prepared to do anything. Here's a labor government,
Speaker 24: Daniel Murki's treasurer prepared to do something. But they're also saying,
Speaker 24: oh that they want an inquiry. Here's an idea, Clinton.
Speaker 24: They are the opposition.
Speaker 2: They sit in the lower House.
Speaker 24: In the Upper House, if you don't like what's been
Speaker 24: presented to you in the last week, make amendments, use
Speaker 24: the parliamentary process to make it better.
Speaker 3: Maybe that's what they're discussing right at the moment. So
Speaker 3: maybe broadly they'll support but with amendments.
Speaker 24: Now, just to clarify, well, in today's AFR, Damien Tudah Hope,
Speaker 24: who was the Shadow Treasurer, is talking about an inquiry.
Speaker 3: An upper House inquiry about what. Look, the Labor Party
Speaker 3: loves an inquiry, right, they call reviews it inquiries at
Speaker 3: the drop of the hat. But the Liberals aren't going
Speaker 3: to help themselves by doing that. Now, just in case
Speaker 3: you haven't followed this over the last couple of months,
Speaker 3: because it's not particularly a sexy issue. But why I'm
Speaker 3: raising it is because if the premiums go up dramatically
Speaker 3: for business, it will affect all of us because we
Speaker 3: all interact with businesses and buy their goods and services,
Speaker 3: so it will mean things will go up in price.
Speaker 3: Where the big increase in payouts is occurring is for
Speaker 3: psychological injuries. Now, I'm not downplaying mental health concerns whatsoever,
Speaker 3: because most of us now have some sort of connection,
Speaker 3: whether it's with our own families or our loved ones
Speaker 3: who have dealt with these issues. It's a big gray area.
Speaker 3: It is difficult to judge. I don't want to downplay that,
Speaker 3: but there has been a dramatic increase in claims made
Speaker 3: through the workers compensation scheme for people suffering these mental
Speaker 3: health injuries in the workplace. Now, your family, as we know,
Speaker 3: runs pubs, pretty big, big organization. I've no doubt you
Speaker 3: would have employees who have made claims for your insurance
Speaker 3: premiums for your insurance coverage about mental health issues.
Speaker 24: Employers Mutual, and let me give some lived experience with
Speaker 24: how this system is being gained. Employers Mutual as our employer.
Speaker 24: They recently pursued an ex employer of ours who we
Speaker 24: were performance managing because she wasn't doing the job the
Speaker 24: way we wanted it done. It wasn't aggressive abusive, it
Speaker 24: was hey, these are the way, these are the parameters.
Speaker 24: She then went on and claimed stress leave. She was
Speaker 24: on stress leave for an extended period of time, and
Speaker 24: just coincidentally, fortunately I happened to learn that you wouldn't
Speaker 24: believe it. Three suburbs away, she's working running a hotel.
Speaker 3: For my cousins.
Speaker 24: But I thought she was on stress liss She was
Speaker 24: collecting a check from us every week. Now, the employer's Mutual,
Speaker 24: at our request, they didn't want to pursue this. We
Speaker 24: made them pursure it because it would have stayed on
Speaker 24: our premium.
Speaker 3: For three years.
Speaker 24: Now that it was sheer good fortune that we happened
Speaker 24: to find out she was working somewhere nearby. But there
Speaker 24: is a prime example and what did she claim? And
Speaker 24: this is the part very technical, but section eleven A
Speaker 24: of the Act. It's where you cannot effectively performance manage
Speaker 24: your staff because the first thing they do is put
Speaker 24: up their hands. And we don't have all afternoon. I'm
Speaker 24: sure you listeners that have businesses out there will be
Speaker 24: dialing in between five and six and giving you their
Speaker 24: own lived experience. But it has to be a feed, inconsistent,
Speaker 24: robust that looks after absolutely the mental health of people
Speaker 24: in workplace environments. But it can't do that at the
Speaker 24: expense of throwing employers on.
Speaker 1: The scrap bait.
Speaker 3: And where this is difficult is that And again I'm
Speaker 3: not trying to dismiss mental health issues, but if somebody
Speaker 3: breaks a leg in the workplace, it's actually really clear
Speaker 3: they've slipped on the banana that's been left on the
Speaker 3: kitchen floor. They're broken their leg. If somebody is bullied
Speaker 3: in the workplace and then suffers a mental breakdown, it's
Speaker 3: actually really difficult to prove. So there's no doubt these
Speaker 3: issues do exist in the workplace. We all know this
Speaker 3: is what happens. This has happened for generation, and we
Speaker 3: know we take these issues seriously now. But we also
Speaker 3: need to modernize the system so we can actually assess
Speaker 3: those problems fairly, and so we're not ripping ourselves off,
Speaker 3: because in the end, we're all ripping ourselves off because
Speaker 3: we end up paying more we pay.
Speaker 24: But the other thing, Clinton is these people at the
Speaker 24: time that are gaining the system are ultimately not thinking
Speaker 24: longer term. I mean, once you have this issue sitting
Speaker 24: against you as an employee, who do you think is
Speaker 24: going to hire you post this? Yeah, I mean you're
Speaker 24: basically unemployable because the insurer would be saying to the employer, no,
Speaker 24: we're not prepared to ensure her because there's a pre
Speaker 24: insisting for him, because there's a pre existing condition that
Speaker 24: the system's broken. And it just defies belief that the
Speaker 24: Party of Small and Family Business in this state, you know,
Speaker 24: is going to kick it down the road.
Speaker 3: To an inquiry.
Speaker 24: If you don't like it, read it, come up with
Speaker 24: the amendments that are you know, I would hope further
Speaker 24: as strengthening eleven A and make the system long term sustainable.
Speaker 3: The text line says the government is causing him stress. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you might be able to make a claim.
Speaker 24: Yeah, pete, good luck.
Speaker 3: We'll cover that tomorrow because it will be an issue
Speaker 3: in state parliament tomorrow. Chris means today, I think he's
Speaker 3: become the first politician to actually make the obvious point.
Speaker 3: But politicians don't like making it that the high excise
Speaker 3: on cigarettes on tobacco has led to the growth in
Speaker 3: the black market of tobacco. Now again obviously running pubs
Speaker 3: and clubs or pubs, you see smokers and they go
Speaker 3: to their specific area smoking. What's your experience I have?
Speaker 24: And I find this hard to believe, but I have
Speaker 24: a great friend of mine that is still a smoker,
Speaker 24: and recently I asked her about this and she said, oh, yeah,
Speaker 24: no go.
Speaker 3: I used to pay the full freight, but.
Speaker 24: I now go to the tobacconist and I said, have
Speaker 24: you've got any cheaper options? And she's paying seven A
Speaker 24: and eight A nine dollars for a pack of cigarettes.
Speaker 20: What is it?
Speaker 24: It's illegal, chop chop. I mean, you can't have this
Speaker 24: if you want to have excises at that high you
Speaker 24: have to be fed income and plice it. And there's
Speaker 24: no federal or you know, and the state doesn't have
Speaker 24: the resources. They're frontline policing anyway.
Speaker 3: And Christmans has made the point today at the moment
Speaker 3: it's up to New South Wales Health. They have something
Speaker 3: like twelve inspectors and they're going to double it. But
Speaker 3: Chrismins has said, look in the budget we are looking
Speaker 3: at whether we now transfer that policing power to the
Speaker 3: police force itself and Clinton in the fed INCLN department. Again,
Speaker 3: a lot of these politicians have never run a business.
Speaker 3: But how hard would it be to walk in as
Speaker 3: a government employee, built, state or federal and say, can
Speaker 3: you explain to me, show me the invoices on how
Speaker 3: you got this tobacco that's sitting on your shelves or
Speaker 3: in the back store room.
Speaker 10: I mean, it.
Speaker 24: Wouldn't be rocket science, would it. It wouldn't be I mean,
Speaker 24: we have proceeds of crime legislation where we confiscate criminals, cars, houses, jewelry,
Speaker 24: you name it, and we do it through forensic accounting.
Speaker 3: This isn't You don't have complicated accounts, you don't need
Speaker 3: forensic accounting. No, There's a shop I drive past on
Speaker 3: a regular basis. It has a flashing sign saying vapes. Yes,
Speaker 3: they not let us sell vapes. You've got to go
Speaker 3: to a pharmacist.
Speaker 24: That's what I'm saying. It defies belief. I mean, this
Speaker 24: is a frustrating segment this afternoon, because the world is
Speaker 24: we're living in a parallel universe.
Speaker 3: Let's lighten up. Was on this day nineteen eighty six
Speaker 3: Queens A Kind of Magic was released. Begs the question, Craig,
Speaker 3: what is what is the one album that you would
Speaker 3: never stop listening to? Look, I got like this.
Speaker 24: I knew this was coming, and you grow up your
Speaker 24: formative years and year older. I mean it was at
Speaker 24: Robbie Williams Live at Nebsworth. But look, I just couldn't
Speaker 24: go by my mum, my dad playing Hot August Night
Speaker 24: live at the Greek on repeat in those formative years.
Speaker 24: And my my, I've become a Neil Diamond fan.
Speaker 3: Neil Diamond.
Speaker 25: Is good, good life.
Speaker 3: Well see, I might change the pace here.
Speaker 11: Where do you go?
Speaker 3: I'm sort of into melancholic music, to be.
Speaker 24: Honest, that's really changing the place.
Speaker 3: Favorite album of all time is Jeff Buckley's grace and
Speaker 3: that's his version of Lenda Collens. How are you? There
Speaker 3: are some tracks on the album that are a little
Speaker 3: more up tempo. I think it's his. I think it's
Speaker 3: thirty years this year since that album was released. Of
Speaker 3: course he passed away because he went for a swim
Speaker 3: in the Mississippi River with his boots on.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Not never a good plan, which is good ideal. Eight
Speaker 3: Thanks Greig, good on your Cleeton, Craig Lordy our straight
Speaker 3: shooter for a Monday afternoon.
Speaker 2: This is Sydney now we've clinton ont GB first.
Speaker 3: Week of winter and very dark around Sydney just after
Speaker 3: five o'clock. Make sure your lights are onto the car
Speaker 3: one three one eight seven three. Simon cordisly learned in
Speaker 3: the program about a broken down camp on Saint Hillier's
Speaker 3: Road near Parramatta Road. Very busy at this time of
Speaker 3: the day and actually the car is blocking two lanes now.
Speaker 3: Simon spoke to the driver and the driver said somebody
Speaker 3: took his keys. It was a road rat incident. We've
Speaker 3: just spoken to the police off there. They don't have
Speaker 3: any reports of keys being stolen. They've suggested perhaps the
Speaker 3: keys have been misplaced, perhaps the keys have been lost.
Speaker 3: A traffic crewis and transport crews now on the scene
Speaker 3: that are diverting traffic around that car. A sixteenage boy
Speaker 3: has now been charged over the brawl we told you
Speaker 3: about a few weeks ago in the Northern Suburbs. This
Speaker 3: occurred at Northbridge. It was a Saturday night a few
Speaker 3: weeks back in the first week of May. It was
Speaker 3: a community fireworks event and a brawl broke out involving
Speaker 3: a stack of teenagers. Officers were told a seventeen year
Speaker 3: old boy was assaulted by a group of teens. He
Speaker 3: had suffered facial injuries was taken to Rayal North Shaw Hospital.
Speaker 3: Five teenagers have been charged so far.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 3: Another teenage boy has been arrested today. A sixteen year
Speaker 3: old was arrested at Roseville, taken to Chatswood Police station.
Speaker 3: He's been charged with a frey and common assault. He
Speaker 3: has been given conditional he'll appear before the Children's Court
Speaker 3: on the twenty fourth June.
Speaker 6: You're listening to Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard on to
Speaker 6: gb col now one three one eight seven three.
Speaker 3: It's a past five. I think the job of opposition leader,
Speaker 3: either at a state or federal level when one of
Speaker 3: the two major parties has had a thumping at an election.
Speaker 3: The job of opposition leader after that election, I think
Speaker 3: is one of the hardest in the country. It is
Speaker 3: particularly difficult when commentators give an opposition very little chance
Speaker 3: of winning the following election. It's even harder when the
Speaker 3: leader of an opposition that is a coalition ends up splitting.
Speaker 3: When that coalition split Sony a few days into the job. Well,
Speaker 3: hats off to Susan Lee. She has managed to bring
Speaker 3: the coalition back together and she now faces the even
Speaker 3: bigger challenge of taking on a stronger Labour Party with
Speaker 3: a bigger majority in Federal Parliament. Well today, Miss Lee
Speaker 3: has toured parts of the flood devastated Mid North Coast
Speaker 3: and Hunter Valley, which we broadcast from last week. We
Speaker 3: were broadcasting from tar last week and well done to
Speaker 3: Susan Lee for making that visit. She's in Raymond Terrace
Speaker 3: at the moment because I think what he's critical is
Speaker 3: that politicians in particular don't forget about the flood victims,
Speaker 3: and too often for us in the city, it's easy
Speaker 3: once we move on and there are other stories to
Speaker 3: talk about, it's easy to forget about the suffering that
Speaker 3: our fellow Aussies do go through in these natural disasters.
Speaker 3: And it's important for politicians to actually see the extent
Speaker 3: of damage and Susan Lee has done that today and
Speaker 3: she joins us in the program. Thank you for your
Speaker 3: time is Leu.
Speaker 25: It's opposed to Clintindent. It's great to join you and
Speaker 25: your listeners.
Speaker 3: I know you've only been the job obviously for a
Speaker 3: couple of weeks and there's been plenty of attention on
Speaker 3: the dramas that you've been dealing with. But well done
Speaker 3: for checking out what's occurred in the north of our state,
Speaker 3: in New South Wales. What have you seen today?
Speaker 25: So important that I do, and so important that everyone
Speaker 25: who has the privilege of representing any part of this
Speaker 25: great country takes the time to get out, listen, learn,
Speaker 25: understand and then advocate. So what I saw in Tari
Speaker 25: was small businesses that were just devastated. I also checked
Speaker 25: in on Port Macquarie and I'm here in Raymond Terrace,
Speaker 25: but the small business is in tai Or just overwhelmed,
Speaker 25: I have to say, and it was quite heartbreaking to
Speaker 25: listen to the stories. One business rushed everything into the loft,
Speaker 25: put everything on the second floor, and then that collapsed
Speaker 25: and so so much of their stock was just lost
Speaker 25: in the flood water. They've moved to a new premise,
Speaker 25: but of course the costs are mounting and people there
Speaker 25: don't have the money to spend that they might have
Speaker 25: because everyone's been affected by this.
Speaker 3: Is the government doing enough?
Speaker 25: Look, I don't want to point the finger needlessly at
Speaker 25: the government, but my job as opposition leader, our job
Speaker 25: as an opposition is always to hold the government to account.
Speaker 25: We have to be the strongest possible opposition to do that.
Speaker 25: There are levels of disaster recovery payment. Everyone is waiting
Speaker 25: for Grade C and D to be announced and this
Speaker 25: sort of comes and goes between the New South Wales
Speaker 25: and the federal government. And what people said to me
Speaker 25: today was, you know, we're sick of the excuse is
Speaker 25: it's these people? Know those people know we're waiting for
Speaker 25: this to happen. Can we please just get it done
Speaker 25: and get some more help because even that help isn't
Speaker 25: going to solve everyone's problems. But it's a payment, and
Speaker 25: you're a small business and you just don't know how
Speaker 25: to pay the bills that are coming into your household.
Speaker 25: This money is needed urgently. So one of the takeaways
Speaker 25: for me is to go back to the Prime Minister
Speaker 25: and his Emergency Services Minister. I'm not going to automatically
Speaker 25: assume they're doing the wrong thing, but I'm going to
Speaker 25: ask the tough questions Clinton, because these people need help.
Speaker 25: We've got newly elected Allison Pencild, she's out member of
Speaker 25: parliament there, she hasn't actually had her seat officially signed off,
Speaker 25: and she's everywhere supporting this community and working incredibly hard.
Speaker 25: And she said to me today, I'm getting pretty cranky
Speaker 25: because I need some action. And I saw that and
Speaker 25: I felt that myself.
Speaker 3: What do you think we do that long term in
Speaker 3: these areas which are prone to flood And Tari suffered
Speaker 3: floods in twenty twenty one, not on the scale of Lismall,
Speaker 3: but they did suffer floods. So many areas are going
Speaker 3: to be deemed uninsurable. Do you think we need some
Speaker 3: sort of government intervention for some particular parts of our
Speaker 3: country that are prone the natural disasters to have some
Speaker 3: sort of government insurance scheme?
Speaker 25: We need every level of government working constructivy together to
Speaker 25: do this. And I'd like to see what I saw
Speaker 25: following the Lithmore floods, which I saw soon after we
Speaker 25: came into opposition in twenty twenty two, and that is
Speaker 25: an approach by New South Wales which was under us
Speaker 25: as Liberals, that puts a fund in place, puts a
Speaker 25: process in place recognized as everyone can't automatically move back
Speaker 25: into the same location. They may not want to. It
Speaker 25: may be two flood prone for the future and actually
Speaker 25: has a well structured response and you're not simply just
Speaker 25: covering a loss and waiting for a disaster to happen again.
Speaker 25: We do have to do better. Look, I have to
Speaker 25: say that that is happening. That is the approach to
Speaker 25: natural disasters that the country is moving to with emergency management,
Speaker 25: resilience recovery. I'm always watching with all this stuff Clinton
Speaker 25: to make sure there's not too much bureaucracy and red
Speaker 25: tape tying it all up in knots. When people need help,
Speaker 25: they need it straight.
Speaker 3: Away, and we need to get beyond band aids. So
Speaker 3: on to some other issues. You have been criticized for
Speaker 3: demoting women from the right the right of the party
Speaker 3: in your shadow cabinet, in your shadow ministry if I
Speaker 3: can just deal with a couple of them. Jane Hume,
Speaker 3: did she do something to upset you? Was it the
Speaker 3: work from home policy the way she handled that during
Speaker 3: the campaign? Not at all.
Speaker 25: And she and others are enormously talented women and men
Speaker 25: in my party room, and I spoke to all fifty
Speaker 25: four of them before I announced the Shadow Ministry, and
Speaker 25: I made it clear that everyone has a role to play.
Speaker 25: She will be a Senator of Victoria going forward. Others
Speaker 25: will have carriage of policy debates and many important issues.
Speaker 25: I often say, it doesn't matter where you sit in
Speaker 25: the House of Representatives or the Senate, you can make
Speaker 25: a difference.
Speaker 3: Have you spoken do with those since she was effectively demoted,
Speaker 3: because I mean she she spoke on television late last
Speaker 3: week and says she's straightening up her tir and getting
Speaker 3: on with it.
Speaker 25: I've spoken to the colleagues many times.
Speaker 3: And not colleagues mishumeough Well, I.
Speaker 25: Certainly spoke to her and we had a detailed conversation
Speaker 25: around the time of the announcement of the Shadow Ministry,
Speaker 25: as you would expect me to do. And I spoke
Speaker 25: to her before that, and I spoke to all of
Speaker 25: the colleagues before that. And the important thing here is
Speaker 25: that I said, as opposition leader, I would do things differently.
Speaker 25: It's a new parliament, it's a new term of government.
Speaker 25: I selected a front bench to meet the challenges that
Speaker 25: we will face. But that is not in any way
Speaker 25: to take away from the skills, the talents, the tenacity
Speaker 25: of every single member of my party room. Because Clinton
Speaker 25: being in opposition, you've got to have everyone on the field.
Speaker 25: It's not a sort of hierarchical, top down exercise. We
Speaker 25: all have to listen from the glass roots up and
Speaker 25: everyone has to play their parts. But we're here to
Speaker 25: work hard for the Australian peace. Every single one of
Speaker 25: us was.
Speaker 3: Just Iner Price. I know she still has a role,
Speaker 3: but it's effectively she's been demoted to the outer ministry,
Speaker 3: out of shadow. Was she demoted to pacified nationals who
Speaker 3: were angry about her defection to the Lips?
Speaker 25: Not at all. I mean she has a really important role.
Speaker 25: She proved herself as an amazing communicator and we would
Speaker 25: all remember her during the Voice campaign. I was delighted
Speaker 25: to welcome just Center into our Liberal Party party room.
Speaker 25: She now has a role in defense industry and personnel
Speaker 25: working with Angus Taylor, and this is a critical area
Speaker 25: for this country for the future. We're not doing defense
Speaker 25: well under the Albanesi government. We have to do it
Speaker 25: better and my team, including Justina Angus phil Thompson, will
Speaker 25: actually really get this right for a future of our country.
Speaker 3: On defense, there's the story today that the Americans, through
Speaker 3: the meetings that have been conducted in Singapore, say that
Speaker 3: we should be spending three and a half percent of
Speaker 3: GDP on defense, which would be a forty billion dollar
Speaker 3: a year increase. The Prime Minister has responded to that,
Speaker 3: he's given no commitment. Should we increase spending to three
Speaker 3: point five percent GDP?
Speaker 25: We should be increasing our defense spending Clinton because people
Speaker 25: like Sarranguth Houston, who completed the Defense Strategic Review, organizations
Speaker 25: like the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, these are really, really,
Speaker 25: really smart individuals with great analytical minds. They tell us
Speaker 25: to not by the way, because the Americans tell us,
Speaker 25: but because it's in our national interest to do so,
Speaker 25: and we're not spending enough right now to defend ourselves.
Speaker 3: A couple of final questions, Ford and I appreciate your
Speaker 3: time while you're traveling through the flood zone. Raymond Terrace,
Speaker 3: I've just seen the latest information from the AEC on
Speaker 3: the count for Bradfield and just dot intrigued to know
Speaker 3: whether you've been given any further detail from the Liberal
Speaker 3: scrutinies on the ground. Gizel Cap Tiering is now behind
Speaker 3: Nicolett Bullet by twenty five votes in the recount. Do
Speaker 3: you have any further information?
Speaker 11: I don't.
Speaker 25: It's the recount that we all see at the same time. Clinton.
Speaker 25: Giselle is an outstanding candidate, a brilliant woman and would
Speaker 25: be incredibly welcome in our party room. I do hope
Speaker 25: she gets there. I have everything crossed.
Speaker 5: It's very very close.
Speaker 3: Well the Agatin the gap is actually growing. I've got
Speaker 3: to ask you this one and I can understand what
Speaker 3: your response is going to be, But are you a placeholder?
Speaker 3: I've got a message from Michael here, Michael says Susan Lee.
Speaker 3: Michael's a former Liberal voter, is going to be Australia's
Speaker 3: Liz Trusts won't be around too long and unfortunately often
Speaker 3: after big election defeats, that's what happens to some opposition leaders.
Speaker 3: Will you still be there in three years time?
Speaker 19: Yes?
Speaker 25: I will Prentident's the greatest honor of my life to
Speaker 25: have been selected in a ballot in my party room
Speaker 25: to be the leader of the Liberal Party. I've been
Speaker 25: in Parliament twenty five years and I've often been underestimated.
Speaker 25: I flew aerial mustering planes in Western Queensland in my
Speaker 25: twenties and no one thought I could do that. And
Speaker 25: I picked up eight hundred fleeces a day running up
Speaker 25: and down the board in a shed near Saint George
Speaker 25: in Western Queensland, two in forty degree heat, and no
Speaker 25: one thought I could do that. And I studied when
Speaker 25: my three children were small on the family farm and
Speaker 25: took my baby to work in a capsule so that
Speaker 25: I could get the qualifications needed to support my family.
Speaker 25: And I don't mind if people underestimate me.
Speaker 19: That's their business.
Speaker 25: I'm here to do a job, but most importantly, I'm
Speaker 25: here to do the job that we need to do.
Speaker 25: It's a tough opposition to hold the government to account
Speaker 25: and work very hard every single day for the communities
Speaker 25: like the ones I'm visiting today.
Speaker 3: I'm just getting so many questions from our listeners coming in,
Speaker 3: so I won't take out much more of your time,
Speaker 3: but cray Gas, can you ask Miss Lee about net zero?
Speaker 3: Will you cancel net zero?
Speaker 25: We have to get energy policy right. So there's two things.
Speaker 25: We have to play our part in reducing global emissions,
Speaker 25: but not at any cost and certainly not at the
Speaker 25: cost at the stable, reliable energy grid.
Speaker 3: And so when will you make a decision on that
Speaker 3: future policy for that zero.
Speaker 25: We'll take our time, we'll work through the policy. It's
Speaker 25: three years to an election, so we're going to.
Speaker 19: Get this right.
Speaker 3: Just lastly, mister Dutton, and I know you've been gracious
Speaker 3: in your praise mister Dutton throughout the last couple of weeks,
Speaker 3: but he has suffered a significant loss leading the coalition
Speaker 3: in the last month. What is one significant thing that
Speaker 3: you would do differently to Peter Dutton in the next term.
Speaker 25: We're going to have a detailed review and find out
Speaker 25: what went wrong where and how and how to do better.
Speaker 25: If I do want to say that first Clinton, because
Speaker 25: it's it's not the case that we all know the
Speaker 25: answers immediately. But I said that the modern Liberal Party
Speaker 25: needs to respect modern Australia, reflect modern Australia, and represent
Speaker 25: modern Australia. So we have to meet people where they
Speaker 25: are and everywhere I go, I talk to people, I
Speaker 25: listen to them, I ask them what they're thinking, and
Speaker 25: that feeds into the policy development, which means we will
Speaker 25: get it right next time.
Speaker 3: I hope a Liberal Party supporters give you a go.
Speaker 3: Thank you for your time, Susan, Thank you so much.
Speaker 3: Susan Lee, who is a new opposition leader. If you've
Speaker 3: got some thoughts on miss Lose so far, how she's performed,
Speaker 3: let us know one three one eight seven three twenty
Speaker 3: three past five. When you see something on Sydney's roads
Speaker 3: that we need to know about, send me a text
Speaker 3: message zero force of zero eight seven three out seven
Speaker 3: three or give me a call. Angela's done just that, Hey, Angela,
Speaker 3: what have you seen?
Speaker 26: I was just coming home from Ashfield's down the back
Speaker 26: of Enfield and I was overtaken by quite a few
Speaker 26: police cars, some undercover, and they're all heading to a
Speaker 26: street just running parallel to Coronation Parade. I think it's
Speaker 26: talin Bar Street, okay, and there's a whole congregation of
Speaker 26: them at the end of that street, just before you.
Speaker 21: Get to Georgia's with a road okay.
Speaker 26: Well, and I'm big hurry.
Speaker 3: Okay, so that's just just behind Coronation Parade, which is
Speaker 3: can be pretty busy, isn't it. That's right, So that's
Speaker 3: neither flower Power.
Speaker 26: Yeah, not far from flower Power. Okay, we'll fast flower
Speaker 26: Power when the first one overtook me. They're going down
Speaker 26: Burwood Road, just all in that area around Enfield.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, okay. My producer has just been in contact
Speaker 3: with the police. They've confirmed there is an operation now
Speaker 3: under Wayne Enfield. We don't have any more details, but
Speaker 3: obviously if there's about six police cars headed there, it's
Speaker 3: reasonably significant. So there is a police operation Underwayne Enfield. Hey,
Speaker 3: thanks letting us know about Angelo one three one eight
Speaker 3: seven three. I'm getting lots of messages still about albums
Speaker 3: that if there was one album left that you'd listen
Speaker 3: to for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Speaker 3: Because Craig Laundy just before five o'clock nominated Hot August
Speaker 3: Night from Neil Diamond. I'll come to some of your
Speaker 3: nominations a little later, but just after my discussion with
Speaker 3: Susan Lee, some feedback here from Steve. Steve, what do
Speaker 3: you make of Susan Lee?
Speaker 27: Look, I reguess she could be a good leader as
Speaker 27: long as she sticks with the liberal values as such.
Speaker 3: Are there particular policies that you think she needs to
Speaker 3: be strong.
Speaker 27: About, sorry, net hero ye, our energy supply, industrial relations.
Speaker 27: But if she wants to become a labor light and
Speaker 27: try and win the Greens votes, that she'll fail.
Speaker 3: No, and look there's no point doing that because they're
Speaker 3: not going to win the far left. But the argument
Speaker 3: is they probably need to return to the center, Matt says,
Speaker 3: and thank you if your call. Matt says. I think
Speaker 3: miss Lee needs to have a conversation with Matt Canavan
Speaker 3: about references to net zero. She does not have three years.
Speaker 3: She needs to start making your mind up now. Is
Speaker 3: in monivel get I Peter god.
Speaker 21: A, Clinton Susan unimpressed. She did nothing for James brand here.
Speaker 21: But when you were talking about workers com earlier, this
Speaker 21: is what the liberals let it go on and now
Speaker 21: labor this is federally and the state government. Every bit
Speaker 21: of super I'm a small business. Every bit of super
Speaker 21: I pay myself, and I pay my own I'm self employed,
Speaker 21: are proprietary limited. The state government classes as wages and
Speaker 21: I have to pay the I Care Arrath on.
Speaker 3: That the premium for workers comp yere.
Speaker 21: No one can get there. Why isn't she doing something
Speaker 21: about that. That's an additional cost.
Speaker 3: Well, it is and that's something that the State Liberal
Speaker 3: Party needs to start addressing. And so they've had a cabinet,
Speaker 3: a shadow cabinet meeting this afternoon and then there'll be
Speaker 3: another meeting tomorrow with the Nationals because the legislation is
Speaker 3: going to go before State Parliament this week to start
Speaker 3: trying to deal with that. But I know it's a
Speaker 3: complex issue that involves the Feds as well. Twenty six
Speaker 3: past five and Josh B with the latest Good Afternoon.
Speaker 15: Clinton WA Senator Derinda Cox has announced a surprised defection,
Speaker 15: leaving the Greens to join Labor, Prime Minister Anthony Alberanezi
Speaker 15: confirming she'll be admitted as a Labor member tomorrow. A
Speaker 15: sixth teenager has now been charged over a brawl in
Speaker 15: Sydney's North Shore last month, which left a seventeen year
Speaker 15: old with facial injuries. Doctors are issuing a fresh warning
Speaker 15: about the run at straight trend, where people run at
Speaker 15: each other at high speed to replicate high impact tackles
Speaker 15: fans were spotted taking part in the activity during the
Speaker 15: Manler game at brook Fell over the weekend, and a
Speaker 15: global study is found working with a personal trainer can
Speaker 15: have a major effect on your risk of developing a
Speaker 15: new or recurrent cancer. Researchers followed colon cancer patients for
Speaker 15: seventeen years, finding structured exercise reduced the cancer risk by
Speaker 15: twenty eight percent and also improved survival rates. In sport
Speaker 15: of huge blow for the Blues and the Warriors, confirmation
Speaker 15: prop Mitch Barnett has ruptured his ACL and will be
Speaker 15: out for the rest of the season.
Speaker 8: We'll have more news and sport at.
Speaker 3: Six fifteen degrees in the city, thirteen degrees in the west.
Speaker 3: The ferries now running on time. Yes, they've recovered after
Speaker 3: they had to slow down because of the three humpback
Speaker 3: whales that were discovered near Manly.
Speaker 2: Finance update Deaf.
Speaker 3: Night posting money news from seven o'clock tonight. Hello Dead,
Speaker 3: Hello to you Clinton.
Speaker 28: How good that we have whales frolicking in the harbor.
Speaker 3: Just phenomenon first week of winter and making their migration north. Yeah,
Speaker 3: apparently the marine biologists I Spokechs World in the programs
Speaker 3: is what they do, they pop their head in to
Speaker 3: see if it's maybe a quiet spot. So she's popped
Speaker 3: her head in, decided that this ain't quite spot. I'm
Speaker 3: going to continue north.
Speaker 28: Yeah, wise move the whale highway getting busier by the day.
Speaker 3: Have the market's fair today.
Speaker 6: The markets were.
Speaker 28: Down today off the back of the tariff announcement from
Speaker 28: Donald Trump, where he slugged the steel and aluminium imports
Speaker 28: fifty percent. The wave of tariff fear impacted markets, including
Speaker 28: our own. The ASEX two hundred started lower, it stayed there.
Speaker 28: It closed off yero point two percent, twenty points lower
Speaker 28: to eighty four hundred and fourteen. Energy was the worst sector.
Speaker 28: It was down one point four percent. The oil price
Speaker 28: also went backwards, and the tariffs didn't help our dollar either.
Speaker 28: It's dropped back from last week. It's now worth about
Speaker 28: sixty four point seven US sense.
Speaker 3: Ai US is getting serious. The Business Council released a
Speaker 3: report today on how Australia can actually make it to
Speaker 3: the top of the AI tree.
Speaker 28: H It's interesting because AI, artificial intelligence we know, is
Speaker 28: being held up as the answer to our productivity problems,
Speaker 28: the big revolution in technology that it does offer, but
Speaker 28: the business Council's warning that we need to make sure
Speaker 28: we don't bring in really tight rules and regulations. They
Speaker 28: argue that if we act out of fear, we could
Speaker 28: shut down the kind of experimentation that could fix a
Speaker 28: lot of the productivity problems that we're trying to solve
Speaker 28: in the first place. So they're warning the government to
Speaker 28: really ensure that the mandatory guard rails that they consider.
Speaker 28: Because the governments yet to make a decision on AI
Speaker 28: rules and regulations. Bear in mind that we need to
Speaker 28: ensure we don't hold business back, but we need to
Speaker 28: also regulate to some degree. We can't let it go
Speaker 28: free for all because it could lead.
Speaker 3: To other problems as well. Now this is a good topic.
Speaker 3: Imax is releasing plans to win people back to their
Speaker 3: cinemas that the big screen, because streaming services may be
Speaker 3: seeing people make a decision to stay at home rather
Speaker 3: than go to the cinema.
Speaker 28: Well, that's right, and Imax We've already got the great
Speaker 28: Imax cinema in Sydney. There's four Imax cinemas around the
Speaker 28: country already, but they want to expand it to nine
Speaker 28: by twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 2: They're not cheap.
Speaker 28: The big Imax cinemas. They're four times the size of
Speaker 28: the average cinema screen. They're about one and a half
Speaker 28: a million dollars each the Imax cinema screens. But Imax
Speaker 28: is of the view and the other rivals of the
Speaker 28: same view, heuts and village. They've also opened big screen
Speaker 28: cinemas that if you offer this big experience with big pictures,
Speaker 28: big sound, as well as the whole enticement of people,
Speaker 28: you play big dollars to see an Imax movie as well,
Speaker 28: that you'll be more likely to go along and see
Speaker 28: those blockbuster films than sit at home on the couch
Speaker 28: and watch it on the streaming side.
Speaker 3: But I guess you've got to offer something more, don't you,
Speaker 3: Because in this day and age where you've got say
Speaker 3: an eighty inch TV at home, a lot of people
Speaker 3: do these.
Speaker 8: They do.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's enticing just to stay home. But you know,
Speaker 3: we're of the same vintage. Would recall back in the
Speaker 3: eighties when the VCR was launched, everybody said this will
Speaker 3: be the death of the cinema, and it wasn't. People
Speaker 3: still like to go out and pity the people who
Speaker 3: got the beta.
Speaker 2: Beta Max.
Speaker 28: Hey, that old debate I.
Speaker 3: Must have been. I haven't been to the movies probably
Speaker 3: for nine months or so, and I thought about taking
Speaker 3: the family a couple of weeks ago, just actually to
Speaker 3: do something on a weekend. Went through what was on.
Speaker 3: There wasn't much on, so didn't end up doing it.
Speaker 3: But I just put the ticket prices on. It was
Speaker 3: going to be more than one hundred bucks ye before

Speaker 3: that's it.
Speaker 28: You want to ensure that it is worth the bang
Speaker 28: for the buck for the cinema experience, and Imax is

Speaker 3: business with the tips. Hello MG, Hello.
Speaker 1: Clinton, Happy Monday, my friend. How are you, buddy?
Speaker 3: Well, I'm good because I tip five out of seven
Speaker 3: this week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he celebration, curlabration. Well, don't, buddy, that's nice. I
Speaker 1: think I got I got five as well.
Speaker 3: I think I tip your mobot tip Penrith against Para.
Speaker 1: Good game.
Speaker 3: It's actually a really good game. Yesterday after he wasn't
Speaker 3: it the whole.
Speaker 1: Round was good.
Speaker 16: Just a bit of breaking news and it has been
Speaker 16: has been confirmed and some devastating news that Mitch Barnett
Speaker 16: has ruptured.
Speaker 1: His a cl and we'll be out for the rest
Speaker 1: of the season.
Speaker 16: So that's bad news for the Warriors because he's the
Speaker 16: co captain and bad news for the new South Files Blues.
Speaker 16: They've got probably three to pick from. You to Kemono,
Speaker 16: Torell may or Calam Mantney from South Sydney will take
Speaker 16: his spot, so.
Speaker 1: So devastating news for both the Warriors and the Blues. Mate.
Speaker 3: Big news in cricket today Glenn Maxwell is retiring from
Speaker 3: one Day's Nationals.
Speaker 1: He had a big show.
Speaker 16: He's an entertainment machine. He years thirty six year old.
Speaker 16: He's effective immediately. He says he to still be available
Speaker 16: for t twenties, but with the World Cup looming next year.
Speaker 16: But he's a bit of Glenn Maxwellt's best.
Speaker 29: Unbelievable, being my relakable thing you're probably ever seeing cricket,
Speaker 29: staggering solid like one going.
Speaker 19: On a one.
Speaker 29: And he should not have to walk off the party.
Speaker 3: Shit been carried off. That was his two hundred and
Speaker 3: one against Afghanistan to win the gun Now he played
Speaker 3: with a broken leg, didn't.
Speaker 1: He there.
Speaker 3: Was it cramped or something, but he was stuffed basically,
Speaker 3: that's why he said he should be carried off the
Speaker 3: field a Ian Smith.
Speaker 16: Yeah, and all the shots were so unconventional that he
Speaker 16: was hitting six's with the back of the bat and
Speaker 16: it was just it was one of the most phenomenal
Speaker 16: things you've ever seen in your life.
Speaker 1: And I don't think we've ever seen any walker.
Speaker 16: But he's He's been a wealth of entertainment over the
Speaker 16: last thirteen years. And he's still available for the red ball.
Speaker 16: But unfortunately I think that boat sailed. But we might
Speaker 16: still see him at the two twenty World Cup next year.
Speaker 3: Buddy, Yeah, I'd say, Sony, you keep playing on ID
Speaker 3: because that's w all the money is. Very late last
Speaker 3: night I received the text message from our colleague John
Speaker 3: Stanley from the Night Show here and he said he
Speaker 3: said to me, I think in jest, there's nothing on TV.
Speaker 3: Will he miss this drama? Everywhere you look? No dramas
Speaker 3: for Oscar Piastre, who wins his fifth Grand Prix. The
Speaker 3: year Tiastre takes the Spanish Grand Prix. It's a McClaren
Speaker 3: one too.
Speaker 30: We executed everything we needed to today. A great start,
Speaker 30: that's the first hit. Well, good pit stops, stuck to
Speaker 30: our guns on our strategy and yeah, and we executed
Speaker 30: it was pretty much perfectly.
Speaker 3: That is Oscar Piastre. He is potentially our next world champion.
Speaker 3: I reckonem Jay.
Speaker 16: I think he's just a joy to watch and enjoy.
Speaker 16: Here is very humble young man. And so that's his
Speaker 16: fifth for the year. Where is that compared to some
Speaker 16: of our great Joneses and the Mark Webbers and.
Speaker 3: He so he's now right one a total of seven
Speaker 3: Grand Prix. I think he's one behind Daniel Ricardo, two
Speaker 3: or three behind Mark Webber, who's his manager. But if
Speaker 3: you compare it to previous Australian World champions, the only
Speaker 3: other Australians who have won five GPS in the year
Speaker 3: were Alan Jones and Jack Brabham, both won the World
Speaker 3: Championships in those years.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he'sad what is he? Jesus? He's a breath
Speaker 1: of fresh areas and there I love him.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm quite a fan of the sports market.
Speaker 3: What jumps out about this bloke is how cool he
Speaker 3: is and calm. He doesn't ever react and where that's
Speaker 3: critical is because where they get it under a lot
Speaker 3: of pressure, you keep your head well, then you perform well. Now,
Speaker 3: his main opponents within his team Lando Norris, who's actually
Speaker 3: prone to making mistakes. The other bloke is the four
Speaker 3: time world champion Max Verstappen.
Speaker 2: The Dutchess at one point one point.
Speaker 3: Well so Max Verstappan, he was playing, he was playing
Speaker 3: roller derby out there. He thought he was in Dodger cast.
Speaker 1: He thought it was in Happy Day as the Malachi Crunch.
Speaker 3: Hey, just before I get onto a big drama you're
Speaker 3: facing at the moment, Kerry asked an interesting question here
Speaker 3: on the text line MG. She is saying, is it
Speaker 3: fair that Lockie Galve is able to accrue dally end
Speaker 3: points when he played for the Tigers and given they
Speaker 3: were lowered down the ladder with probably fewer star plays,
Speaker 3: he might have been gathering a lot of points and
Speaker 3: then goes to the Bulldogs where he's playing in a
Speaker 3: star studded team that's the top. Is that all fair?
Speaker 4: All?
Speaker 16: Look when we go to the Bulldogs, as you say,
Speaker 16: as Kerry says, it's a star started team, so points
Speaker 16: will be a lot harder to get for him because
Speaker 16: he's got you know, five or six other blocks in
Speaker 16: the team who were high calmer.
Speaker 3: Than it might be hard to make it might be
Speaker 3: hard to win win points playing for the Dogs.
Speaker 16: Did you see the subtle swipe he had a Benji
Speaker 16: and the Tigers on his interview?
Speaker 1: I did, oh, just for those Tigers fans put in
Speaker 1: the bank.
Speaker 16: Around twenty two, Tigers take on the Bulldogs at Kombank Stadium.
Speaker 3: Do you know what stuck out of me with the
Speaker 3: interview that he did for the Bulldog's website? Exac cut
Speaker 3: goodness me, it looked like Jim Carey had a dumb
Speaker 3: and dumber. Well, he's on seven hundred and fifty thousand
Speaker 3: a year. You think he could afford a barber?
Speaker 1: Oh, hello, are you going to Austria?
Speaker 3: It's not a good look. Serious like he's got a
Speaker 3: great he's got great parents, mom, dad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a look. At these days that all happens
Speaker 1: at the back, nothing at the front.
Speaker 3: Now, I'm very concerned. MG, you're not feeling too well.
Speaker 16: May I'm like half of Sydney at the moment. I'm
Speaker 16: just I've had a big week last week up to
Speaker 16: the origin and back and then had a plan for
Speaker 16: eighteenth birthday and then I mean got on a dance
Speaker 16: floor with one hundred eighteen year olds on Saturday night,
Speaker 16: and I think it might have caught something off one
Speaker 16: of them.
Speaker 3: Oh you've picked up COVID or something have you?
Speaker 27: Oh?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 16: I've just speaking of any Hour producer and I said,
Speaker 16: I told him that I've got no taste and.
Speaker 1: I've got the bait, the aching bones or whatever. So
Speaker 1: I'm going to get I'll get one of them tests.
Speaker 1: I didn't think. I didn't think COVID was still a thing.
Speaker 3: It's still a thing. I know how a couple of
Speaker 3: people have had it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll get one of the testimonial You know, buddy,
Speaker 1: do we need.
Speaker 3: Some remedies for you?
Speaker 1: MG? Well, I already look.

Speaker 3: Do I still just still use Vix? I haven't had
