WEBVTT - Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard – Full Show June 2nd 0:00:11.119 --> 0:00:12.000 On two GV. 0:00:13.119 --> 0:00:16.040 This is Sydney Now with Clinton. 0:00:16.560 --> 0:00:18.799 Monday, June two, one three one eight seventy three. It 0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:22.120 is Clinton, Maine with you. First week of winter. Now 0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:25.120 the fairies are running. I can confirm the fairies are 0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:27.080 back up and running. This morning it was because of 0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:30.160 the fog. The fairies couldn't run across Sydney Harbor. Well 0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:33.440 this afternoon over the past hour or so, it's because 0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:37.360 of Wales. Wales stopped the fairies. But they're now running again. 0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:39.640 More than that, in just a moment. What surprised me 0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:42.320 about the fog today was where we were growing up, 0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:45.080 we're always told if it was foggy in Sydney in 0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:47.360 the morning, and this morning was a peace super it 0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:50.040 was pretty thick that we were going to have a bright, sunny, 0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:53.440 beautiful day. We're looking out across the suburbs of Sydney's 0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:56.600 West at the moment, very cloudy, it's overcast. What happened 0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:59.400 to our bright sunny day, It didn't happen. Coming up 0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:01.760 on the program, Susan Lee the new opposition Lee but 0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:03.920 probably has the hardest job in the country. If you 0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:06.679 give her much hope of winning the next election. She 0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:08.800 has a war and coalition to deal with. And there 0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:10.880 are still issues with her own backbench now that she'd 0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:13.800 made changes to shadow cabinet and she's got to take 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:15.679 up the fight to the Labor Party. Well. She'll be 0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:17.880 my guest after five o'clock, the first time she's been 0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:20.440 on two gbs since she was elected leader. The big 0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:22.880 issue in state politics this week is the future of 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:26.560 the workers' compensation scheme and the fact that there's legislation 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:29.040 going to palm this week. The fact that if changes 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:32.600 aren't made the way psychological injuries dealt with in the workplace, 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:36.520 premiums for businesses are going to skyrocket and they couldn't 0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:39.039 put an enormous pressure on their budgets and the state 0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:41.840 budget as well. Our straight She to Craig Laundy runs 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:44.840 a significant business and'll have an insight into these changes. 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:47.240 We'll talk to him. Mark Guy joins me after five 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:49.520 o'clock to review the weekend in footy, and we've got 0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:51.400 a good prize to give away today with the quiz, 0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:55.080 a five hundred dollars Winston with a Y voucher that's 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:56.720 in the quiz coming up at the end of the program. 0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:58.480 You are my eyes and ears when it's happening in 0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:00.440 city now. So if you see something we need to 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:03.360 know about, text me zero force zero eight seven three 0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:05.560 eight seven three. Have you say one three one eight 0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:17.680 seven three. Well in Sydney right now I can confirm 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:20.040 the fairies are running once again. There's been a lot 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:22.480 of excitement on the northern beaches throughout the afternoon. You 0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:25.800 would have heard this with Michael McLaren listener Brian calling 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:28.840 in after spotting a pot of wales at Manly. 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:31.680 Have a listen bit of excitement here in Manley. Three 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:36.400 humpback whales have come into the harbor and they've been 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:39.440 doing a bit of a circuit around and got as 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:41.600 close as about one hundred meters or so off the 0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:44.919 Manly pier. Brought all the ferries to a halt, obviously 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.680 for safety reasons. There's a lot of people hanging around 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:50.160 looking and taking photographs of them. 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:53.080 Transport for New South Wales say the fairies had to 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:56.160 slow down and there's been some delays as a result, 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:58.360 but the fairies are getting back to normal for the 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:02.080 afternoon peak. This is a great site. First Monday of June, 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:05.240 the first week of winter and we have whale watching 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:08.600 on the Harbor. We have whale watching from Manly. Rob 0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:12.120 Harcourt is a marine biologist, a shark expert from mcquarie University, 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:14.600 joins us, Well, this is a bit of a surprise, 0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:15.960 or is it, Rob, Hello. 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.120 Oh good Aid Clinton. Yeah, No, it's not that much 0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:22.040 of a surprise. Whales are all heading north to have 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:26.560 their babies and have one bit of romantic canoodling up 0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:30.480 on the Daria Eve and they do stop in harbors 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:33.000 and estuaries on the way up. These guys just seem 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:35.400 to have come into the business harbor on the Newst Coast. 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:38.880 Romantic can noodling. We are a family show, so just 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:42.360 bear that in mind, Rob, So what they migrate north 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:43.880 to meet up? 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:45.400 That's right. 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:48.000 So they all feed down in the Antarctic, in the 0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:53.640 really rich waters of the Antarctic every summer and when 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:56.600 there's twenty frier daylight and there's lots of product pivot 0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:59.520 going on. And then when winter comes they flee north 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:01.720 and they go up to the Barrier reef to have 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:04.360 their babies. And it's when the males can all find 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:06.640 the females because they're all up there in the same place. 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:10.440 But they rt migrate up the coast, and so they 0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:13.200 often stop in at different bays on the way up, 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:16.960 sometimes for a rest. And if a female's about to 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:19.280 give births, who might be looking for a quiet place 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:21.479 to give birth? So Sydney Harper's not a quiet place, 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:22.559 has to be said. 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:26.640 So while the female is swimming making her way up, 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:29.360 would she poke her head into the heads and realize, 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:31.239 I know this isn't a great place and then continue 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:32.080 on the merry way north. 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:34.640 It could be, or they might have just come in 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:36.400 and had a bit of a rest. I mean, there's 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:38.560 a few of them. It wasn't just one. But when 0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:40.240 a female is going to give birth, they often have 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:43.440 what we call an escort, which is often to another 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:46.200 female or sometimes a male mate guarding who goes with them. 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:48.120 And then when they give their cup when they have 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:50.560 a calf, normally in the night. We don't see them 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:53.480 very often happening during the day. Then the other one 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:56.400 I'll hang around to protect them from sharks and other predators. 0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:59.320 The ferries have slowed down for those that are on 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:02.120 the waterways. If you do come across a while, whether 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:04.640 it's outside of the heads or even within the heads, 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:05.640 what should you do? 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:10.400 Oh, look, don't change your gears really rapidly, and don't 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:13.240 race towards them. I mean you're legally you have to 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:15.159 stay at least one hundred meters away, or if there's 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:17.720 a baby with them, it's three hundred meters away, which 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:20.080 is a big distance. There's actually a lot further than 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:23.359 you think, especially in the confines of the harbor. But 0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:27.360 reversing and driving around like a maniac is when they 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:30.279 tend to get run over. They are very vulnerable to boats. 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:33.640 In particular, there's lots of boats, so goes slow, right down, 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:37.160 no wake speed, and if you are heading towards them, 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:41.800 look go to neutral and just hopefully just drift away. 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:43.400 Try and keep that. But you must keep at least 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:46.359 one hundred meters away. That's the requirement. If there's more 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:48.640 than three boats and it's three hundred meters and then 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:50.640 the harbor, there's nearly always three. 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:54.599 Good advice for magnificent animals. Thank you, professor, so entirely 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:55.400 my closure. 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:56.920 Clinton have a lovely afternoon. 0:05:56.560 --> 0:06:00.000 Professor Rob Harcourt, who is a marine biologist with McCrory University. 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:02.400 So the fairies are running again. There might be some 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:04.279 delays the next half of a half hour or so 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:06.839 because they had to slow down. But you can expect 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:08.640 to see more Wales over the next couple of weeks. 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:12.040 If it's happening in Sydney, you'll hear it on Sydney 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:14.279 Now with Clinton Man on. 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:17.320 To GB thirteen past three, the state government admits we 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:20.400 aren't winning the war against illegal tobacco. We've been talking 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:22.479 about this for several years on my programs, the fact 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:25.599 that tobacconists have been operating opening up left, right and 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:28.360 center in our suburbs, despite the fact smoking rates are 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:31.039 at an all time low. Chris Minz has spoken about 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:34.480 this today and for the first time he's actually pointed 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:36.200 the finger at one of the reasons that you often 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:40.200 identified as the course of this high tobacco excise. Now 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:43.240 he has been questioned about the way we police these tobacconists, 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:46.280 in particular at the moment it's the duty of New 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:49.719 South Wales health inspectors, not the police, but mister Minns 0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:52.200 for the first time conceded that may need to change. 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:56.120 That would mean allocating police officers that are currently working 0:06:56.120 --> 0:07:00.520 on domestic violence cases, on youth crime cases, on major 0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:04.440 organized crime networks in New South Wales take them off 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:10.040 those important inquiries and send them into tobacco regulation. And 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:12.840 we may need to do that because I'm concerned as 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:15.559 a constituent and as a father to see the number 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:19.600 of high street premises being taken over by tobacco firms. 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.160 But I wonder whether we need to roll this back. 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:24.880 A couple of steps and look more closely at the 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:27.520 federal government's massive excise on tobacco. 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:29.280 I think that that's important. 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:33.560 I'm not arguing with the public health benefits of putting 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:34.880 an excise on tobacco. 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:36.840 I think it's driven down the amount of. 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:40.600 People that use cigarettes in the community to around ten percent, 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:47.160 but the massive increase has exploded the illicit tobacco marketplace. 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:49.679 Now that's the first time I've heard the Premier say 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:52.800 that it's federal excise that's to blame here. Well, let's 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:54.920 bring an expert in this matter in James Martin is 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:58.120 a scene lecturer in criminology who specializes in the black market. 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:01.400 Deacon University. Thank you for your time, James. Do you 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:04.280 believe the high excise on tobacco as part of the 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:06.800 reason we've seen this explosion in illegal tobacco? 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:07.680 Oh? 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:12.000 Yeah, I think that's absolutely undeniable. Australians pay the most 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:17.560 expensive cigarette prices anywhere in the world. Pacade smoker who's 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:20.160 buying legal cigarettes is looking at a yearly bill in 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:23.920 the order of fifteen thousand dollars and that's obviously an 0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:26.720 extortionary amount that many people simply cannot or. 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:27.240 Refuse to pay. 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:30.280 Does an excise work in any way? I would suspect 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:33.880 that the health industry believes it has discouraged people from smoking. 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:36.160 Well, we don't actually have. 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:39.600 Any conclusive evidence that it's accelerated to decline in smoking 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:44.120 in Australia. Smoking rates in the pre tax decade, so 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:47.000 between two thousand and twenty ten declined at the same 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:50.600 rate as over the next ten years from twenty ten 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:53.840 to twenty nineteen, when the price cigarettes more than doubled. 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:56.120 So you know, I think there are real questions about 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:58.920 whether the tax was fun, it was working is intended 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:02.120 let alone all these very serious unintended consequences. 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:04.400 From your experience in this area, what do you think 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:06.439 the best way would be to deal with the illegal 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:07.480 tobacco problem. 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:10.200 Well, I think there's two main things that the government 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:12.680 needs to do. And it's great to see New South 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:15.000 Wales premier acknowledging the elephant in the room, which is 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:18.920 tobacco tax that I think needs to be substantially lowered. 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:22.200 But the other big one here is vapes. So vapes 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:24.360 to the number one quitting aid in jurisdictions in which 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:28.280 they're legal. We saw massive declines in smoking rates in 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:32.600 New Zealand from twenty twenty when they legalized vapes over there, 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:37.040 and unfortunately we've made vpes harder to get the cigarettes 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:40.400 which you know a responsible for the deaths of two 0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:43.200 and three every long term users. So I think improving 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:46.480 access to legal forms of nictee but prompally less harmful 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:48.160 forms of nicotine. 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:48.080 Is the key. 0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:50.400 Yeah, the issue with balance is causing part of the problem. 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:53.480 Thank you for your Tim James. Thanks doctor Jones Martin 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:56.920 who's a criminal lecturer at Deacon University. So that's the 0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:59.520 first time. Firstly, Chris Mens has admitted that the exercise 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:01.320 is an issue here and that needs to be addressed. 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:03.760 Very rarely when you get politicians saying that because they're 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:05.560 very worried about what the response will be from the 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:07.880 health lobby. But also he said that in the upcoming 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:09.839 budget that will we hand it down in a few 0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:12.120 weeks time, his government is going to have to look 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:14.960 at providing the police with resources rather than New South 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:19.400 Wales Health to actually police those tobacconists be a part. 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:22.640 Of Sidden now with Clinton Maynard called one three, one 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:23.720 eight seven three. 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:26.160 Okay. The counting is continuing this afternoon in the seat 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:29.600 of Bradfield and this has taken a turn. The Teal candidate, 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:32.680 Nicolett Buller is now in front. I'm just looking at 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:35.199 the latest results that have come through. This is the recount. 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:39.440 Nicolett Buller is in front of Gazelle Capteriian, the Liberal, 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:42.680 by twenty one votes. Now. When counting wrapped up on Friday, 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:46.320 Gazelle cab Tirian was in front by two and the 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:49.280 AAC has indicated the counting won't be concluded, most likely 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:51.680 until the end of the week, possibly midweek, but I 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:53.160 think you can take it as read it'll be the 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:55.600 end of the week. This is the first time since 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:58.839 the recount started that the Teal Nickelett Buller has actually 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:01.720 been in front, and she's she's increased that lead throughout 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:04.480 the day. What is happening is informal votes are being 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:08.200 very closely examined and I'm told that votes that were 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:11.880 deemed initially informal are now being declared formal because on 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:16.240 closer examination by scrutineers, they are legitimate votes. Most of 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:18.760 those votes, most of those informal votes that have been switched, 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:20.839 have actually been to the benefit of the Liberal Party. 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:22.960 Some of those will have been to the benefit of 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:25.120 Nicolete Buller as well, but this is the biggest lead 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:27.800 she's had so far. Now it's not yet over. They're 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:30.559 probably only halfway through this recount, but she does now 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:32.720 lead by twenty one votes. So if it was to 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:35.880 be declared right now, Nicolette Buller the Teal would win 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:39.160 this seat. Susan Lee, the new leader of the Liberal Party, 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:41.400 will join me up to five o'clock and I'll certainly 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:44.160 be asking the opposition leader from her information on the ground, 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:47.720 because the political parties received some direct information from their scrutineers. 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:51.559 Whether she has some confidence that Giselle Captirian can make 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:53.880 a comeback. She must, because she has given her a 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:57.400 job in the Outer Shadow Ministry as well. Plenty coming 0:11:57.480 --> 0:11:59.760 up on the program, if you'd like to have your say, one, three, one, 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:02.280 eight seven, three is our number. This is Sydney. Now 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:04.560 a lot of feedback about what Chris Mins has said 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:06.880 about tobacco excise, and I'll come to that feedback in 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:09.559 just a moment. The Prime Minister, though today has responded 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:13.559 to American demands for astraight to increase our spending on defense, 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:15.520 and this was a sort of an issue during the 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:19.920 election campaign. On the sidelines of the Shangrilad Dialogue meetings 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:22.920 in Singapore, the US Defense Secretary has suggested to our 0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:26.040 Deputy PM, Richard Miles that we should be increasing our 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:28.480 spending to three and a half percent of GDP. Now, 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:31.200 that would amount to about an extra forty billion dollars 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:34.120 a year, forty billion dollars our federal government doesn't have. 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:37.000 Anthony Albanesi has now responded what you. 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:42.160 Should do in defense has decided what you need, your capability, 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:43.680 and then provide for it. 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:45.480 That's what my government's doing. 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:49.840 We're provided an additional ten billion dollars of investment into 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:54.240 defense over the forward estimates. What we don't do is 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:57.840 do what the opposition did during the election campaign, where 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:00.760 they announced an amount of money. I couldn't say where 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:03.160 the money was coming from, and they couldn't say what 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:06.640 it was for that makes no sense. What we need 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:09.960 is things that defend us in real terms, and that's 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:10.920 what we'll provide. 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:13.320 The Prime Minister certainly no commitment there. Word on the 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:16.199 street thanks to temper a great night's sleep, night after night. 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:19.520 The difference is temper confirmation. One northbound lane to the 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:22.840 m one the Pacific Motorway has now reopened just past 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:24.960 that side of a car crash that occurred at Morris 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:27.800 set So all northbound lanes the motorway they had been 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:31.000 closed because of that crash, but they're now open once again. 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:33.840 The diversions have been lifted one three one eight seven three. 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:36.800 Let's get to some of your calls about tobacco excise. Hello, Nick, 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:37.760 there you. 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:38.600 Go mate, Good Nick. 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:43.640 Oh yeah, I just sexed three before that. Like I 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:46.760 was using the snake in the legal ones, which your 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:48.600 customing sixty five dollars a day. 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:49.240 Yep. 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:55.920 I finally found one of the illegal ones that pretty 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:57.880 much sell the same brand, that's what I do. But 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:01.480 they come from the UK, and I got a carton 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:02.800 for ninety dollars. 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:05.640 And so you go to a particular retailer, you make 0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:08.439 some sort of coded requests behind the counter there. 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:11.120 Oh, I know it's all open. You just go on 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:13.920 and go I want I want the carton of lease 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:14.959 and they just give them to you. 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:16.680 And this is the problem in New South Wales that 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:19.200 there are twelve New South Wales Health inspectors and the 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:21.720 government is going to double the number of inspectors to 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:25.280 twenty four. But you walk through most suburbs, you'll see 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:27.320 five or six to back and it's in the one suburb. 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:30.160 So twenty four inspectors won't do anything. Hello Bruce. 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:34.440 Yes, And look on these cigarette prices. Look for a 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:37.120 packet of twenty five cigarettes. I was in at Words 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:39.120 the other day and I noticed the price is there 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:42.440 with seventy dollars from packet of Marlborough the Marlborough Man. 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:45.240 Seventy dollars a twenty five smokes a lot of money. 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:49.000 And for a packet of twenty from the dodgy tobacco 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:51.720 shops around the place, they're twenty dollars. I mean that's 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:53.840 a difference of fifty dollars. 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:57.280 And if you're somebody who's been addicted to cigarettes for 0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:00.600 decades and decades, yeah, you're probably going to seed. I'm 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:02.400 doing the wrong thing. I shouldn't be doing this, But 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:04.800 it's a big difference, and. 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:07.120 That fifty dollars it has to be the tax I mean, 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:10.000 these are criminals, are making a lot of money. 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:11.840 It's just a crime. 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:13.760 And if we don't start doing something about it, we're 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:15.720 going to see a repeat of what happens in Melbourne. 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:19.240 Happened in Queensland on Friday fire bombings. We've seen a 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:21.560 couple of them in Sydney this year, but nothing compared 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:24.640 to what's experienced interstate in the turf war that's broken 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:27.840 out in Melbourne and particularly parts of southeast Queensland over 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:30.680 tobacco territory. It's what's fueling the drug crime in this 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:33.120 City's cocaine, but tobacco is next. 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:36.880 Hello, Larry, Hey, how are you good? 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:40.920 Good mate, I'm just a call that I'm just the 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:44.120 first time callers. I'm a little bit nervous, welcome mate. 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:51.360 Regarding the tobaccoos, I'm curious on how they measure that 0:15:51.640 --> 0:16:00.680 smoking has decreased through excise going up and they know 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:05.760 or how do they not know that? Possibly the reason 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:08.720 why they think it's gone down is because more and 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:11.840 more people are smoking the illegal cigarette. 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:13.760 Really good point you make there, Larry, and we'll see 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:15.960 we can get some clarification from the authorities on that, 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:19.640 because if you are buying illegal cigarettes, you're not going 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:22.480 to be part of the formal statistical data. I would 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:28.200 think really good point. Think if you call Parry and 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:29.880 good afternoon, Josh Bryant, good. 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:33.280 Afternoon, Clinton. The Premier wants the current federal excise on 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:36.880 tobacco to be reduced, saying the massive increase in the 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:40.800 cost recently is adding to the explosion of elicit tobacco sales. 0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:44.000 A car has driven through a church in the Illawara, 0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:47.480 leaving one person with minor injuries. At West Woollongong, the 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:50.000 FBI is treating a fire attack in the US state 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:53.200 of Colorado as an act of terrorism after six people 0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:56.680 were set alight during a walk to support Israeli hostages, 0:16:56.960 --> 0:17:00.800 and three humpback whales have delighted onlookers in the water 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:04.680 near Manly Pier, briefly forcing ferries to slow down. Services 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:08.680 now running as normal. In sport, reports in England claimed 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:11.520 Tottenham will announce the sacking of Ange postera Conglu later 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:14.200 this week. The Aussie manager led Spurs to the Europa 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:17.240 League title, but also presided over their worst Premier League 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:19.119 season in almost fifty years. 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:20.680 We'll have more news than sported for. 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:22.800 Thank you Josh Mark guy joining us after five point 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:25.600 thirty talking sport, and that's likely to happen. Ange Posta 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:28.359 Conglu is expecting to be sacked to spot the fact 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:32.320 Tottenham won the Europa League trophy. In all of Ange 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:35.440 Postera Coglo's career, he always wins trophies, particularly in the 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:37.679 second year with his club, but he's going to get 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:40.200 the punt. Nevertheless, won three, one, eight, seven, threes and 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:43.320 number Bindi Irwin has returned home. She was in the 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:46.760 United States when she suffered appendicitis and was in hospital 0:17:46.760 --> 0:17:49.520 for some time. But she is back. Good afternoon, Peter Ford. 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:52.359 Yeah, thank goodness she is, and I'm sure she's thrill. 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:56.400 I know her mum, Terry. Certainly she's taken to social media. 0:17:56.480 --> 0:17:59.720 It's been obviously a troubling more than three weeks since 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:02.560 she's first left. Was meant to be a quick work trip, 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:04.760 if you like, to go to Las Vegas to attend 0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:07.760 the Big Gala, but then just hours before it, she 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:11.400 took six She was airlifted from Las Vegas to New York, 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:14.199 where not only did she have the appendix removed, but 0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:19.440 she also had fourteen endometriosis lesions removed as well. Then 0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:22.000 she couldn't fly and it won't let you do a 0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:25.400 long flight after that sort of surgery, so she's had 0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:28.800 to basically wait and wait, and now finally she's back 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:29.880 on home turf again. 0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:31.680 And she she's going to make a full recovery, isn't she. 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:35.560 Well totally. Yeah, she's in good spirits and I think, 0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:39.080 you know, obviously for Terry, it's been a difficult time 0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:41.919 to know where do you base yourself. You want to 0:18:41.920 --> 0:18:43.920 be with your daughter, You've got the business to run. 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:45.840 You also got a child, and of course she got 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:49.040 a grandchild because Bindy's a mum. So yeah, it's been 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:52.280 a rough time, but it's all ended up very well. 0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:57.119 Hannah Gadsby has revealed her surprise friendship with Laurita Swift 0:18:57.160 --> 0:18:59.480 of mash fame, who passed away last Yeah. 0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:01.680 I thought this was kind of cute. I love these 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:05.720 sort of random show business friendships. So over the weekend, 0:19:05.800 --> 0:19:09.280 Loretta Swift died. She was eighty seven years old, and 0:19:09.320 --> 0:19:11.280 that kind of plays with your mind. 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:13.120 To imagine that actually I. 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:15.560 Know, well, she's kind of frozen in time, isn't she 0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:18.280 For those of us who grew up watching Mash and 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:21.240 her as Hot Lips, you know when she did other 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:24.320 things after Mash, but nothing I don't think, you know 0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:27.359 ingrained itself into our brains in the way that Hot 0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:30.640 Lips did. So it was sort of surprising to see 0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:33.520 that she was eighty seven years old, but Hannah Gatsby 0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:36.920 took to social media to reveal that some years back, 0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:39.360 Loretta Switt came to one of her shows in New 0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:42.520 York and came backstage to meet her, and they struck 0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:46.800 up a very strong personal friendship, and you know, despite 0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:50.840 the age difference, they got along famously. And Loretta actually 0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:53.439 was a painter and did a number of paintings for 0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:56.560 Hannah of her dogs through the years. So I just 0:19:56.560 --> 0:19:59.359 thought it was a sweet little story to show that 0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:02.760 in business, you know, sometimes opposite steer track. 0:20:03.040 --> 0:20:05.400 It's hard to believe Loretta was eighty seven years of age, 0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:08.280 I guess. And this is the reality of show business. 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:11.159 What we tend to remember people in their starring roles, 0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:13.680 and whether it was thirty forty years ago, they're stuck 0:20:13.720 --> 0:20:14.600 in time because of. 0:20:14.560 --> 0:20:17.240 That, and most of them are quite happy to be 0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:20.159 They stuck in people's minds looking a certain way, and 0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:22.280 many of them go to great legs to make sure 0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:23.520 they continue to. 0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:24.000 Look that way. 0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:26.720 Good on you, Peter. We'll talk tomorrow. Thanks Clinton, Peter 0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:29.359 Ford twenty four to four. Late last year, the new 0:20:29.359 --> 0:20:32.840 South Wales government introduced Jack's Law. These a new knife 0:20:32.880 --> 0:20:37.240 laws targeting specifically young offenders, and under these laws, police 0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:41.280 can now use scanners to literally scan people they suspect 0:20:41.280 --> 0:20:43.800 maybe carrying knives. There's been an operation that's been conducted 0:20:43.920 --> 0:20:47.800 in the Aubrey region and over the course of Friday, 0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:51.120 ninety eight people were scanned using these new laws handheld 0:20:51.119 --> 0:20:55.040 scanning devices. The police have they arrested four people. Four 0:20:55.080 --> 0:20:58.479 weapons and prohibited drugs were detected and charges have been laiden. 0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:00.840 These four people will before the courts. But this is 0:21:00.840 --> 0:21:03.919 an example where Jack's Law is so important because more 0:21:03.960 --> 0:21:07.240 and more people, sadly, particularly younger people, are arming themselves 0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:10.800 with knives. But the threat that these scanners, that beliefs 0:21:10.800 --> 0:21:12.680 are going to be armed with these scanners themselves, will 0:21:12.680 --> 0:21:16.800 at least help them fight back. A little earlier, I 0:21:16.840 --> 0:21:19.200 spoke with a marine biologist about the pod of Wales 0:21:19.240 --> 0:21:21.800 that has been spotted at Manley this afternoon and it 0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:24.359 is now whales season. They're making their migration to the north, 0:21:24.359 --> 0:21:26.600 but it meant that the Manly Ferry had to slow down. 0:21:26.600 --> 0:21:29.240 There's been some delays to ferry services as a result. 0:21:29.280 --> 0:21:31.880 We understand the fairies now back to normal. So I've 0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:35.480 had two messages from our listeners suggesting maybe we should 0:21:35.480 --> 0:21:38.800 have spoken to George Costanza about the Wales. You cast 0:21:38.840 --> 0:21:41.840 your mind back to that very famous Seinfeld episode back 0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:44.960 in the nineties where George made out to one of 0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:48.879 his prospective dates that he, in fact was a marine biologist, 0:21:48.880 --> 0:21:52.400 and Kramer was playing golf and shooting golf balls practicing 0:21:52.440 --> 0:21:55.679 his driving on the coastline one day, and actually he 0:21:55.800 --> 0:21:58.760 drove a golf ball that landed in the whole of 0:21:58.760 --> 0:22:02.200 one of the wales, and because George was so called 0:22:02.240 --> 0:22:04.240 marine biologist, he was the one who had to save 0:22:04.280 --> 0:22:04.600 the day. 0:22:05.200 --> 0:22:06.760 So I started to walk into the water. 0:22:07.119 --> 0:22:09.919 From out of nowhere, a huge title wave lifted me, 0:22:10.440 --> 0:22:12.600 tossed me like a cork, and I found myself right 0:22:12.640 --> 0:22:14.000 on top of them, to. 0:22:14.040 --> 0:22:15.119 Face with the blowhole. 0:22:16.520 --> 0:22:19.000 I could barely see from the waves crashing down upon me, 0:22:19.040 --> 0:22:22.760 but I knew something was there so I reached my 0:22:22.880 --> 0:22:26.960 hand there, felt around and pulled out the obstruction all 0:22:27.080 --> 0:22:27.440 in one. 0:22:28.880 --> 0:22:30.760 I now know who we should be speaking to about 0:22:31.040 --> 0:22:34.879 Wales while watching in Sharks George Gustans of the Marine Biologist. 0:22:35.080 --> 0:22:38.160 We'd be lost without organizations like the Country Women's Association. 0:22:38.280 --> 0:22:42.320 The CWA has just announced they're activating their disaster Relief 0:22:42.480 --> 0:22:45.679 Fund now. This is going to be financial support for 0:22:45.720 --> 0:22:47.800 people who've been affected by the Mid North Coast and 0:22:47.840 --> 0:22:50.520 the Hunter Valley floods. Up to half a million dollars 0:22:50.560 --> 0:22:53.520 has been initially emarked for flood recovery efforts. Up to 0:22:53.520 --> 0:22:55.960 two hundred and fifty thousand dollars is also allocated to 0:22:55.960 --> 0:22:58.719 those who are affected by drought at the moment. And 0:22:58.760 --> 0:23:00.960 we should remember that despite the fact we've been talking 0:23:01.000 --> 0:23:02.800 so much about the floods and the Mid North Coast 0:23:02.800 --> 0:23:05.159 and the Hunter Valley, there are so many farmers and 0:23:05.200 --> 0:23:07.760 districts across New South Wales that are affected by drought 0:23:07.760 --> 0:23:08.960 and we're going to have a closer look at that 0:23:09.000 --> 0:23:10.760 on the program in the next couple of weeks as well. 0:23:11.040 --> 0:23:13.600 So good on the CWA. They will commit five hundred 0:23:13.600 --> 0:23:16.560 thousand dollars to flood recovery coming up after five o'clock. 0:23:16.560 --> 0:23:18.320 As I mentioned, I'll be speaking with Susan Lee, the 0:23:18.359 --> 0:23:20.680 new Opposition leader. And the reason part of the is 0:23:20.720 --> 0:23:22.960 I'll be talking to Susan is because she's been on 0:23:23.000 --> 0:23:24.720 the mid North Coast today having a look at the 0:23:24.760 --> 0:23:28.199 devastation herself. And it's for politicians. I know they do 0:23:28.359 --> 0:23:31.320 like a picture opportunity, but it's actually important for them 0:23:31.359 --> 0:23:33.800 to have a look at the real damage so when 0:23:33.800 --> 0:23:36.440 they're there lobbying for financial assistance, they actually know what 0:23:36.440 --> 0:23:39.199 they're talking about. One three one eight seven three. A 0:23:39.240 --> 0:23:43.680 new tourism campaign has been launched today for Destiny Southwest, Destination, 0:23:43.720 --> 0:23:46.320 New South Wales and the state government. It's called the 0:23:46.359 --> 0:23:50.200 Feel New campaign and it's a little bit different. Now 0:23:50.520 --> 0:23:52.199 when you think of Cidney, what do you think of 0:23:53.119 --> 0:23:55.680 I think of the Harbor Bridge, think of the Opera House, 0:23:55.880 --> 0:23:58.359 and we have some wonderful other icons in our city 0:23:58.400 --> 0:24:00.520 as well and surrounds Manly b which as we're been 0:24:00.520 --> 0:24:03.280 talking about today with the Wales, the Royal National Park 0:24:03.280 --> 0:24:06.320 in the south to the Blue Mountains, the Three Sisters. 0:24:06.960 --> 0:24:08.440 But this is going to be a campaign that'll be 0:24:08.480 --> 0:24:10.919 a little bit different. It's not going to focus on 0:24:10.960 --> 0:24:13.919 our icons because there's been some new research that's found 0:24:13.920 --> 0:24:18.080 that many people, particularly domestically, they know that we've got 0:24:18.119 --> 0:24:20.399 the Opera House and we have the Harbour Bridge, but 0:24:20.400 --> 0:24:23.040 they're not coming here because they don't think Sydney offers 0:24:23.240 --> 0:24:26.080 anything else. I'm a little bit surprised by that finding. 0:24:26.240 --> 0:24:28.159 I'm going to play part of an ad for you 0:24:28.240 --> 0:24:29.760 that's going to be part of the campaign. 0:24:30.920 --> 0:24:35.800 Got that empty fridge feeling, Yeah, the best feeling. 0:24:37.000 --> 0:24:38.679 So a Blocus has opened a fridge and there's a 0:24:38.680 --> 0:24:42.119 wet lettuce leap inside it. This one he's dissatisfied with it. 0:24:42.400 --> 0:24:43.800 Go on again. 0:24:44.000 --> 0:24:46.080 Then he comes to Sydney and he has dinner in Sydney. 0:24:46.320 --> 0:24:47.560 It's not a spread. 0:24:47.920 --> 0:24:50.000 And then he relaxes in Sydney and goes for a run. 0:24:50.240 --> 0:24:51.160 It's part of a marathon. 0:24:51.280 --> 0:24:54.359 I haven't felt that before. 0:24:55.000 --> 0:24:57.359 So in the ad, you don't see the icons, you 0:24:57.359 --> 0:24:59.720 don't see the Harbour Bridge. You do see a bunch 0:24:59.760 --> 0:25:02.040 of going for a run, and you see a lovely 0:25:02.080 --> 0:25:05.040 meal at a restaurant. And apparently this is the way 0:25:05.160 --> 0:25:08.879 the experts have determined that we need to sell the city. 0:25:09.040 --> 0:25:12.199 I'm actually not so sure about that. Margi Osborne is 0:25:12.280 --> 0:25:14.840 the Sea of the Transport and Tourism Forum. She is 0:25:14.840 --> 0:25:17.919 an expert in this area. Margie, thank you for your time. 0:25:18.480 --> 0:25:19.359 Afternoon, Clinton. 0:25:19.400 --> 0:25:21.359 What do you think of the campaign feel now? 0:25:22.200 --> 0:25:24.840 Well, look, I actually think it's very clever. It's reflecting 0:25:24.920 --> 0:25:30.359 what is a global trend now right. People want secret getaways, 0:25:30.760 --> 0:25:34.240 you know, they go to lots of places and see 0:25:34.280 --> 0:25:36.560 the icons, but for many of them, they want to 0:25:36.560 --> 0:25:39.800 see how locals live. So it's about whether you want 0:25:39.840 --> 0:25:42.560 to do yoga on a kayak in the harbor, which 0:25:42.600 --> 0:25:45.040 is part of one of the campaigns, or whether you 0:25:45.119 --> 0:25:47.280 want to go on a secret and very beautiful jog 0:25:47.320 --> 0:25:50.280 around some parts of the city, or whether you want 0:25:50.320 --> 0:25:53.680 to go to a really great bar and hear live 0:25:53.800 --> 0:25:57.520 music on a Sunday afternoon. So it's really about offering 0:25:57.560 --> 0:26:02.040 people other options and read discovering their city. So it's 0:26:02.080 --> 0:26:04.840 about domestic tourism. So for a lot of those people 0:26:04.840 --> 0:26:08.360 that are coming here, they might have seen the big 0:26:08.760 --> 0:26:11.919 the big things before. This is about reassuring them that 0:26:11.920 --> 0:26:14.280 there is so much more to do in Sydney. 0:26:14.320 --> 0:26:16.439 And that's a really fair point because I think some 0:26:16.480 --> 0:26:19.160 of that does get lost sometimes. The research from destination 0:26:19.240 --> 0:26:22.680 New South Wales. Their Brand Engagement Monitor survey conducted just 0:26:22.800 --> 0:26:25.119 last month and April, shows that seventy nine percent of 0:26:25.160 --> 0:26:28.439 Australian travelers have been to Sydney before. But we're currently 0:26:28.520 --> 0:26:32.000 ranked third in consideration of where we'd actually want Australians 0:26:32.040 --> 0:26:33.480 would want to go. We're not at the top of 0:26:33.520 --> 0:26:35.440 the list. Is that because Queensland's at the top. 0:26:36.520 --> 0:26:41.080 Well, yes, it is the indefatigable Gold Coast. Everybody goes 0:26:41.119 --> 0:26:43.040 to the Goldie for a whole lot of reason. 0:26:43.000 --> 0:26:44.439 And so do you. I guess you don't go to 0:26:44.480 --> 0:26:46.159 the Gold Coast to look at an icon. You go 0:26:46.200 --> 0:26:48.800 to a Gold Coast to experience the beach, to go 0:26:48.840 --> 0:26:51.000 to the theme parks and have more of an experience. 0:26:51.720 --> 0:26:54.199 Yeah, you do. And I think that's all about what 0:26:54.359 --> 0:26:57.200 this campaign is about too. I think the other thing 0:26:57.280 --> 0:27:00.840 is it's about the liveability of the city. Step beyond 0:27:00.920 --> 0:27:04.760 the tourism outcomes, critically important as they are, this is 0:27:04.800 --> 0:27:09.760 also about making Sydney clearly be seen as the kind 0:27:09.760 --> 0:27:11.919 of city you want to live in. Now that's really 0:27:11.960 --> 0:27:15.920 important from the context of future investment in Sydney and 0:27:15.960 --> 0:27:20.040 New South While bringing highly skilled professionals here that perhaps 0:27:20.160 --> 0:27:23.040 we haven't got enough off yere in Australia, bringing them 0:27:23.040 --> 0:27:25.320 to Sydney and making them feel like it's an exciting 0:27:25.359 --> 0:27:26.040 place to live. 0:27:26.160 --> 0:27:28.960 See, I don't want you too critical of the ad market, 0:27:29.000 --> 0:27:31.040 because easy to jump up and down about these things. 0:27:31.119 --> 0:27:33.080 When I saw the ad for the first time, what 0:27:33.280 --> 0:27:35.400 jumped out at me? So it features one of those 0:27:35.440 --> 0:27:37.639 four ads. One of it's a bloke empty opens a 0:27:37.680 --> 0:27:39.199 fridge and there's just a wet let us leave there. 0:27:39.240 --> 0:27:41.800 So he's into state. He wants to experience something better 0:27:41.840 --> 0:27:43.639 than what he's stayed office, So he comes to Sydney. 0:27:44.040 --> 0:27:45.720 He has a lovely dinner and he goes for a 0:27:45.800 --> 0:27:48.399 run with the marathon runners. And see to me that 0:27:48.880 --> 0:27:51.000 that could be done anywhere. You can have a nice 0:27:51.040 --> 0:27:52.920 dinner in Adelaide if you want it. You can have 0:27:52.960 --> 0:27:55.320 a nice dinner in Perth or Brisbane. So I would 0:27:55.359 --> 0:27:57.480 have thought we need to demonstrate how Sydney is different, 0:27:57.720 --> 0:27:59.680 how we bring something to the tourist experience. 0:28:00.280 --> 0:28:02.960 Well, what they've actually done is they've got a series 0:28:03.000 --> 0:28:05.520 of ambassadors who all give their sort of version of 0:28:06.040 --> 0:28:08.480 if not a perfect day, their top three things to 0:28:08.600 --> 0:28:12.040 do in Sydney and they're all wildly different, so there's 0:28:12.080 --> 0:28:14.400 a whole lot of options as part of the campaign. 0:28:14.520 --> 0:28:17.439 But I think the real issue here is it's about 0:28:17.640 --> 0:28:20.760 seeing the city anew as you rightly point out, lots 0:28:20.760 --> 0:28:22.920 of people have been here before and there is so 0:28:23.119 --> 0:28:25.440 much more than the Harbor Bridge. 0:28:25.720 --> 0:28:26.680 And the Opera House. 0:28:26.800 --> 0:28:29.680 Wonderful as they are, there's a lot more to do 0:28:30.040 --> 0:28:33.080 and this is really just about highlighting those things. Now. 0:28:33.760 --> 0:28:37.320 The ad that has the linked letter sleep in the Fridge, 0:28:37.359 --> 0:28:40.560 I think is more about feeling you know, you get 0:28:40.640 --> 0:28:42.040 home at the end of the day and you open 0:28:42.120 --> 0:28:45.960 the fridge dooring a too hard, but it's really about 0:28:46.000 --> 0:28:49.160 emphasizing the fact that there's so much to do in Sydney. 0:28:49.200 --> 0:28:52.440 You can just go out and get something wonderful to eat. 0:28:53.880 --> 0:28:54.040 Well. 0:28:54.080 --> 0:28:56.520 The argument always is that Melbourne has bigger sporting crowds 0:28:56.560 --> 0:28:58.280 than we do in Sydney because there's nothing to do there, 0:28:58.720 --> 0:29:00.680 so you just go to the football where you're so 0:29:00.800 --> 0:29:01.640 much to do in Sydney. 0:29:02.880 --> 0:29:04.560 Well. I think this is what we have to do, though, 0:29:04.640 --> 0:29:07.120 is remind everybody of all those wonderful things you've got 0:29:07.160 --> 0:29:09.280 to do in Sydney. I mean Sydney is a city 0:29:09.320 --> 0:29:11.880 of villagers too, and we've all got our own secret 0:29:12.080 --> 0:29:13.960 best options of places we like. 0:29:14.040 --> 0:29:14.760 To go and see. 0:29:15.280 --> 0:29:17.200 Those are the things that visitors want to do. 0:29:17.400 --> 0:29:17.560 Too. 0:29:18.200 --> 0:29:21.000 Good on you, Margie, my pleasure in Tarley. 0:29:20.760 --> 0:29:23.200 Glynn, Margie Osmond. Who's to see are the Tourism and 0:29:23.240 --> 0:29:25.800 Transport Forum. Have a look at the ads. You'll see 0:29:25.840 --> 0:29:27.440 them on the TV in the next couple of days. 0:29:27.560 --> 0:29:30.080 They'll mostly feature in the state though, So it's about experience. 0:29:30.160 --> 0:29:32.440 This is about what it's like to live in Sydney, 0:29:32.520 --> 0:29:34.440 not so much about seeing the Opera House and the 0:29:34.520 --> 0:29:37.080 Harbor Bridge. And I understand the philosophy that most Australians 0:29:37.120 --> 0:29:38.400 know that if you come to Sydney you see the 0:29:38.440 --> 0:29:40.520 Opera House and the Harbor Bridge and Free Sisters in 0:29:40.560 --> 0:29:42.440 the Blue Mountains. I still think you want to show 0:29:42.960 --> 0:29:45.520 why Sydney is so spectacular because we have an advantage 0:29:45.560 --> 0:29:48.440 of every other destination around the country that they don't 0:29:48.520 --> 0:29:51.480 have those icons. I mean, what's an icon of Melbourne, 0:29:52.040 --> 0:29:55.560 what's the icon of Brisbane? Yep, it's the weather in Queensland. 0:29:55.880 --> 0:29:57.800 It's not the weather in Melbourne, although the weather is 0:29:57.800 --> 0:30:00.560 not that great in city today. If you were developing 0:30:00.600 --> 0:30:04.120 a campaign to encourage people to come here, to come 0:30:04.160 --> 0:30:06.680 to Sydney. What would you want to see? What will 0:30:06.720 --> 0:30:08.560 your selling point be? Would it be the fact you 0:30:08.640 --> 0:30:12.440 can go and run a marathon? Probably not, but that's 0:30:12.520 --> 0:30:15.880 what they've picked. Three eight seventy three, A travel warning 0:30:15.960 --> 0:30:19.800 has been issued for Ballei through Smart Traveler and Bali 0:30:19.880 --> 0:30:22.920 in other parts of Indonesia. This is because of concerns 0:30:23.040 --> 0:30:27.360 about water safety, drink spiking and methanol poisoning. There's been 0:30:27.360 --> 0:30:30.040 an update to Smart Traveler warning the dangers presented by 0:30:30.120 --> 0:30:33.720 unpatrolled beaches in Indonesia, noting Australians are previously drowned a 0:30:33.760 --> 0:30:36.959 popular tourist beaches with rough seas and strong rip currents. 0:30:37.280 --> 0:30:39.680 Tourists are also being warned about leaving food and drink 0:30:39.800 --> 0:30:43.440 unattended when they're going to various venues around Bali, noting 0:30:43.560 --> 0:30:47.040 dangers posed by drink spiking a methanol poisoning and has 0:30:47.080 --> 0:30:50.840 been recorded across Indonesia, including Ballei and Lombok. Australians are 0:30:50.840 --> 0:30:53.440 also advised to ensure their passports are in good condition 0:30:53.640 --> 0:30:57.800 and review local cultural and custom customs religious customs before 0:30:57.800 --> 0:31:00.760 they travel overseas drink spiking is an issue in Balley, 0:31:00.800 --> 0:31:03.080 but it is an issue across much of Southeast Asia. 0:31:03.360 --> 0:31:06.360 If it matters to you, you'll hear it here Sydney 0:31:06.440 --> 0:31:08.920 Now with Clinton Maynard Until said. 0:31:08.840 --> 0:31:11.080 This is another example of one of the ads of 0:31:11.480 --> 0:31:14.880 the new tourist campaign that has just been released. Got 0:31:14.920 --> 0:31:16.800 that beans on toast again feeling. 0:31:17.680 --> 0:31:19.440 Try this feeling. 0:31:21.040 --> 0:31:23.040 So now there's a shot of somebody going to scoop 0:31:23.080 --> 0:31:24.080 the drive of its niss. 0:31:24.320 --> 0:31:26.480 That's it, shake it out. 0:31:28.440 --> 0:31:32.200 Package, lovely dinner at a market. 0:31:34.080 --> 0:31:35.080 Haven't felt that before? 0:31:36.600 --> 0:31:38.840 And so that's the tagline, haven't felt that before. It's 0:31:38.920 --> 0:31:43.000 it's that the new advertising campaign to encourage interstate tourists 0:31:43.040 --> 0:31:45.080 to come here. And it does not feature our icons. 0:31:45.120 --> 0:31:47.440 You don't see they have a bridge in the vision. 0:31:48.040 --> 0:31:50.240 And when it refers to beans on toast, this is 0:31:50.560 --> 0:31:53.120 a bloke who's bought with life. He probably lives in 0:31:53.440 --> 0:31:56.200 birth and the only food he can get at his 0:31:56.320 --> 0:31:57.920 place and beans on toast. So he needs to come 0:31:58.200 --> 0:32:00.520 to Sydney for a better feed. One three hat seven 0:32:00.520 --> 0:32:03.800 to three. Anthony's in Kellyville. Hello Anthony, good cleansing. 0:32:03.840 --> 0:32:04.120 There you go? 0:32:04.560 --> 0:32:06.680 Could do you think that's a good advertising campaign would 0:32:06.800 --> 0:32:07.640 encourage you to come here. 0:32:08.520 --> 0:32:12.320 I think it's terrible, but nobody's coming here. Nobody wants 0:32:12.360 --> 0:32:16.160 to come here. We're over price, we're overrated. Our city 0:32:16.240 --> 0:32:20.400 closes at nine o'clock. Unlessually spending big money to go out. 0:32:20.480 --> 0:32:23.800 It's unaffordable. Other cities in the world, such as Tokyo 0:32:24.080 --> 0:32:26.120 are much better value for money. 0:32:26.560 --> 0:32:28.239 Now I've only been abody coming here. 0:32:28.280 --> 0:32:30.440 I've only been to Tokyo Airport. I wasn't able to 0:32:30.480 --> 0:32:33.080 actually visit the city itself. My impression was Japan was 0:32:33.200 --> 0:32:33.800 very expensive. 0:32:33.880 --> 0:32:36.160 Is that not right? Absolutely? Not a very last year. 0:32:36.160 --> 0:32:38.440 I'm going in twenty eight I'm going in twenty six days. 0:32:40.200 --> 0:32:44.600 I just told you the other the other gentlemen, it's 0:32:44.800 --> 0:32:47.560 postul It was going to cost me seven hundred and 0:32:47.600 --> 0:32:49.760 fifty dollars to get a minivan from Kellyville to the 0:32:49.800 --> 0:32:53.840 airport to take my family over there. It's cost me 0:32:53.960 --> 0:32:56.360 two hundred and ten dollars to get from the airport 0:32:56.440 --> 0:33:00.240 to the hotel. It is affordable. The customer service to 0:33:00.400 --> 0:33:03.040 none compared to what we offer here. We're not in 0:33:03.040 --> 0:33:06.560 the international city anymore. We might have been, but we're 0:33:06.600 --> 0:33:06.960 no longer. 0:33:07.080 --> 0:33:07.280 Mate. 0:33:07.320 --> 0:33:09.400 I certainly agree with you when you say that Sidney 0:33:09.440 --> 0:33:11.720 closes at nine o'clock and that is a complaint, and 0:33:11.800 --> 0:33:14.400 chris Min's talks about that all the time. I do think, 0:33:14.480 --> 0:33:17.760 and yes, I agree, Sydney's also expensive, but most international 0:33:17.840 --> 0:33:21.000 cities are hideously expensive. I was surprised that the last 0:33:21.040 --> 0:33:23.360 time I went to London thought I thought the food 0:33:23.400 --> 0:33:25.640 in London was going to be very expensive. But I'd 0:33:25.720 --> 0:33:29.240 say Sydney was a little bit more expensive, but relatively 0:33:29.920 --> 0:33:31.840 a lot of other things in Sydney are cheaper than 0:33:32.120 --> 0:33:34.440 most European cities and certainly some of the United States. 0:33:34.480 --> 0:33:36.360 Hey good on you, Anthony. Think if your call on 0:33:36.520 --> 0:33:40.040 the text line, Paul says Margie Osmond, she could make 0:33:40.080 --> 0:33:42.920 a heart attack sound like a pleasant experience. Well, she 0:33:43.040 --> 0:33:45.760 putting a positive spin on it. Tony says the advertising 0:33:45.840 --> 0:33:48.880 campaign sounds like a load of drivel. Barbara says, what 0:33:48.960 --> 0:33:51.240 they should do is they should show people taking a 0:33:51.360 --> 0:33:54.640 ride on a ferry showing our beautiful sparkling water. Well 0:33:54.680 --> 0:33:56.200 in one of the ads, the ad that I just 0:33:56.320 --> 0:33:59.520 played did feature the bloke who wants the baked beans 0:33:59.560 --> 0:34:01.479 on it does what the bake bens on toast who 0:34:01.520 --> 0:34:04.520 lives in Perth he's actually enjoying scuba diving. So it 0:34:04.640 --> 0:34:07.800 does show some of those sites. And I completely understand 0:34:07.840 --> 0:34:10.760 the thought that people who live in Adelaide or Darwin, 0:34:10.840 --> 0:34:13.920 they know that we have the Harbor Bridge, but it's 0:34:13.920 --> 0:34:16.439 such a selling point I think we shouldn't actually ignore 0:34:16.480 --> 0:34:17.480 that we have those features. 0:34:18.400 --> 0:34:19.080 Until six. 0:34:19.440 --> 0:34:22.760 This is Sydney now with Clinton Maynard on two GB 0:34:23.280 --> 0:34:25.640 call now one three one three. 0:34:26.800 --> 0:34:29.640 The new Sydney fish Market will open soon and that's 0:34:29.680 --> 0:34:31.279 going to mean a change to the name of the 0:34:31.360 --> 0:34:33.919 light rail stop. Now currently there is a light rail stop. 0:34:33.960 --> 0:34:36.080 It's just actually near the radio station here and it's 0:34:36.200 --> 0:34:39.040 the Sydney fish Market light rail Station. Well it's going 0:34:39.080 --> 0:34:42.200 to change its name to the Bank Street light rail Station. 0:34:42.320 --> 0:34:45.240 But the Geographical Names Board today has announced their seeking 0:34:45.239 --> 0:34:48.759 community feedback on the proposal to rename it. They don't 0:34:48.800 --> 0:34:51.279 believe they can continue with the name the fish Market 0:34:51.400 --> 0:34:53.160 light rail because the fish Market is going to be 0:34:53.320 --> 0:34:55.879 now a short walk instead of basically a stone throw away, 0:34:55.960 --> 0:34:58.040 so it's going to be known as the Bank Street 0:34:58.600 --> 0:35:02.480 light rail station. The New South Wales Surveyor General NoREL 0:35:02.600 --> 0:35:05.160 Underwood says the final decision hasn't been made yet. So 0:35:05.239 --> 0:35:06.600 they're seeking community feedback. 0:35:06.840 --> 0:35:10.799 Rename Fish Market light rail stocks as Bank Street light 0:35:10.920 --> 0:35:14.520 rail stock, so that because the Sydney Fish Market, as 0:35:14.600 --> 0:35:17.600 many people would be aware, is relocating later this year 0:35:18.280 --> 0:35:20.520 and we need to update the name of the existing 0:35:20.680 --> 0:35:23.120 white rail stock to avoid confusions for passengers. 0:35:23.320 --> 0:35:27.080 I appreciate that's absolutely but Bank Street light rail stop, 0:35:27.320 --> 0:35:29.239 I think that's a little bit dull. It's not like 0:35:29.400 --> 0:35:32.359 Bank Street is a well known road across Sydney. It's 0:35:32.400 --> 0:35:34.480 not George Street or Pitt Street aord. I thought we 0:35:34.520 --> 0:35:36.799 could have come with something a little more creative. Coming 0:35:36.880 --> 0:35:38.399 up after the news, we're going to have a look 0:35:38.400 --> 0:35:41.480 at supermarket prices. Coals and Wohers are engaged in a 0:35:41.480 --> 0:35:42.239 big battle. 0:35:42.000 --> 0:35:42.439 At the moment. 0:35:45.000 --> 0:35:46.279 This is Sydney now. 0:35:46.760 --> 0:35:51.319 We Clinton on t GB seven past four. This news 0:35:51.400 --> 0:35:53.799 has just broken in the sporting Well Glen Naxwell has 0:35:53.840 --> 0:35:56.839 announced he is quitting one day international cricket. I mean 0:35:56.840 --> 0:35:59.239 he's been a mainstay the Australian team for years now. 0:35:59.280 --> 0:36:02.520 He's played old eyes for thirteen years. May's deboot for 0:36:02.560 --> 0:36:05.120 the Aussie's back in twenty twelve. He has scored almost 0:36:05.200 --> 0:36:08.000 four thousand runs from one hundred and forty nine One 0:36:08.080 --> 0:36:11.080 Day Internationals. He's thirty six now, so obviously he's getting on, 0:36:11.760 --> 0:36:13.719 but he's going to quit One Day International cricket. I 0:36:13.719 --> 0:36:17.080 should point out a fabulous player over the years, Glenn Maxwell. 0:36:17.480 --> 0:36:19.520 I should point out that he's going to continue playing 0:36:19.560 --> 0:36:23.239 twenty twenty and he'll probably play in the IPL until 0:36:23.560 --> 0:36:25.600 he's about fifty or sixty. All the crookers want to 0:36:25.800 --> 0:36:27.279 keep playing in the IPL because that's where all the 0:36:27.280 --> 0:36:29.719 money is. But certainly I think one of Australia's the 0:36:29.880 --> 0:36:32.120 greatest one day in to national players in the past 0:36:32.360 --> 0:36:36.439 twenty thirty years. Marcus Stoyness and Stephen Smith have both 0:36:36.520 --> 0:36:39.719 also retired from One Day Internationals over the past year 0:36:39.880 --> 0:36:42.919 or so, so certainly changing face the Australian cricket team. 0:36:43.000 --> 0:36:47.080 Seven past four, the state government cracked the Champagne laid 0:36:47.120 --> 0:36:50.520 on My program on Friday afternoon. The Transmitister John Graham 0:36:50.640 --> 0:36:53.840 joined us to announce that the long running industrial dispute 0:36:53.880 --> 0:36:57.000 with the Combined Rail Unions that is crippled Sydney's train 0:36:57.080 --> 0:37:00.440 network could finally come to an end, and was on 0:37:00.480 --> 0:37:03.160 the show to trumpet the three year deal that he'd 0:37:03.239 --> 0:37:06.920 arranged he'd come to with the combined rail unions for 0:37:07.000 --> 0:37:09.719 a twelve percent pay rise. Now, I say the combined 0:37:09.920 --> 0:37:12.520 rail unions because there's been several unions involved in this 0:37:12.600 --> 0:37:15.799 dispute for the last will effectively the last couple of years. 0:37:16.640 --> 0:37:19.920 And I actually asked the Minister could he guarantee that 0:37:20.000 --> 0:37:22.160 there'd be no industrial action now for the next three 0:37:22.239 --> 0:37:24.280 years over the course of this agreement. He couldn't actually 0:37:24.280 --> 0:37:27.360 give that promise. And given we're dealing with unions, I 0:37:27.400 --> 0:37:31.040 can understand why he couldn't actually provide that guarantee very wise, 0:37:31.239 --> 0:37:34.080 because let's be honest, you can't trust them. 0:37:34.440 --> 0:37:34.600 Well. 0:37:34.640 --> 0:37:36.760 Of course, after we finished up on air on Friday, 0:37:36.760 --> 0:37:39.040 over the weekend, it was revealed that the Electrical Trades 0:37:39.160 --> 0:37:42.239 Union is holding out on agreeing to this deal, not 0:37:42.360 --> 0:37:47.680 the rail union itself, not the RTBU, the E TOU. Well, 0:37:47.840 --> 0:37:51.479 I've been in contact with the leadership of the rail union, 0:37:51.600 --> 0:37:54.719 the RTBU over the weekend and they are happy with 0:37:54.840 --> 0:37:57.640 this deal. What they're not happy with is the E 0:37:57.840 --> 0:38:02.759 TOU because, excuse the pun, the ETU is threatening to 0:38:02.840 --> 0:38:06.200 derail the deal. So this is an over The matter 0:38:06.200 --> 0:38:08.279 has been back before the Fair Work Commission. Today you 0:38:08.360 --> 0:38:11.440 see the ETU is unhappy with the way maintenance and 0:38:11.560 --> 0:38:16.359 engineering employees are now categorized in the agreement. Please, it's 0:38:16.400 --> 0:38:19.680 a demarcation dispute between the unions. It has nothing to 0:38:19.719 --> 0:38:22.840 do with us, the commuters. And we're given the impression 0:38:22.840 --> 0:38:25.120 on Friday that all this has been sorted out and 0:38:25.200 --> 0:38:28.440 that be no more suffering for us who use the trains. Well, 0:38:28.520 --> 0:38:31.120 no that's not quite right. This is not over yet. 0:38:32.320 --> 0:38:34.680 At this point there is nothing to stop the ETU 0:38:34.840 --> 0:38:38.440 taking industrial action from July unless this is now sorted out. 0:38:38.440 --> 0:38:38.560 Now. 0:38:38.880 --> 0:38:40.719 I'm hopeful it will be sorted out before the Fair 0:38:40.760 --> 0:38:43.960 Work Commission. The government has definitely settle it and the Rail, 0:38:44.000 --> 0:38:46.440 tram and Bust unit itself, it's done with it. It 0:38:46.760 --> 0:38:49.120 wants this all over also. But if you cast your 0:38:49.160 --> 0:38:52.360 mind back to January, we had an incident in January 0:38:52.360 --> 0:38:55.640 where the entire Sydney raalm network ground or halt in 0:38:55.760 --> 0:38:58.239 the morning. We had been told in the lead up 0:38:58.320 --> 0:39:02.440 to this particular dispute, and the RTBU had told all 0:39:02.520 --> 0:39:04.360 on Sundry that they were going to begin an industrial 0:39:04.480 --> 0:39:08.200 campaign where trains in the outer suburban network would be 0:39:08.560 --> 0:39:13.480 slowed down. And Howard Collins from Sydney Trains was on 0:39:13.600 --> 0:39:15.320 the program. I had the union on the program the 0:39:15.400 --> 0:39:18.279 day before. They all insisted, look, yes, this industrial action 0:39:18.400 --> 0:39:21.480 is taking place, but it would only cause mindor disruption. 0:39:21.920 --> 0:39:24.520 Well lo and behold. The next morning, No, the whole 0:39:24.600 --> 0:39:27.320 of the run network completely shut down. Do you know 0:39:27.440 --> 0:39:30.319 why it's shut down. There was a problem I think 0:39:30.360 --> 0:39:32.480 it was at Bondi, and then there was another at Homebush, 0:39:32.840 --> 0:39:35.760 but there was an electrical problem, and that electrical problem 0:39:35.800 --> 0:39:40.719 couldn't be fixed because the ETU wouldn't fix it. So 0:39:40.880 --> 0:39:44.640 now we're facing that again that yes, an agreement has 0:39:44.760 --> 0:39:47.280 been reached with most of the unions involved in this dispute, 0:39:47.600 --> 0:39:50.839 but not the E TOU, which means, what's to stop 0:39:50.920 --> 0:39:54.880 them taking industrial action for instance, next month, unless this 0:39:55.000 --> 0:39:56.319 is sort of out in the next couple of weeks. 0:39:56.360 --> 0:39:58.800 Well nothing. Now I think they're going to be desperate, 0:39:58.840 --> 0:40:01.400 the government will be desperate. Sidney Trains management, we're desperate 0:40:01.480 --> 0:40:04.120 to get this sort of out. As a rail union 0:40:04.120 --> 0:40:07.520 official told me yesterday to quote him, he said, this 0:40:07.880 --> 0:40:11.840 is insanity. He was talking about his own union movement. 0:40:12.040 --> 0:40:16.160 The quote is, this is insanity. The rail union covers 0:40:16.239 --> 0:40:20.200 eight and a half thousand workers. The e TOU covers 0:40:20.280 --> 0:40:24.359 eight hundred and sixty so it's student a roughly ten 0:40:24.360 --> 0:40:27.520 percent and potentially they're going to hold up this deal. 0:40:28.440 --> 0:40:31.919 It's not right. Well, it just can't happen because while 0:40:31.920 --> 0:40:33.919 there are eight and a half thousand railway workers under 0:40:33.960 --> 0:40:36.960 the RTBU and there are eight hundred and sixty e 0:40:37.120 --> 0:40:39.920 TOU members, there are more than a million of us 0:40:40.440 --> 0:40:43.440 us the passengers. US, the passengers who pay for our 0:40:43.480 --> 0:40:46.719 opal fares, US, the passengers who pay for our taxes, 0:40:47.080 --> 0:40:49.080 and have been screwed around now for more than a 0:40:49.160 --> 0:40:51.160 year because of the way these unions are behaving. 0:40:51.600 --> 0:40:51.759 Well. 0:40:51.840 --> 0:40:54.120 At least the RTBU has come to the party and 0:40:54.160 --> 0:40:56.800 they've agreed to this deal. At least the state government 0:40:56.840 --> 0:40:59.799 and Transport for your South Wales has finally arranged this deal. 0:41:00.000 --> 0:41:01.920 And yet they'll get a pay rise that's actually bigger 0:41:01.960 --> 0:41:04.040 than what was originally intended, but much smaller than what 0:41:04.120 --> 0:41:09.840 the RTBU was asking for. To think the ETU that 0:41:09.960 --> 0:41:12.960 only represents eight hundred and sixty workers could derail the 0:41:13.000 --> 0:41:16.000 whole thing. It's a glow of garbage. We should not 0:41:16.120 --> 0:41:19.120 be treated like this anymore. The traveling public should not 0:41:19.200 --> 0:41:21.920 be putting up with this anymore, and the state government 0:41:22.120 --> 0:41:23.759 needs to sort it out, and needs to sort it 0:41:23.840 --> 0:41:29.240 out quickly. One three, one eight seven three is my number. 0:41:29.800 --> 0:41:32.160 Now our reports are this afternoon, the trains are actually 0:41:32.239 --> 0:41:36.480 running okay, and hopefully this dispute with the ETO will 0:41:36.520 --> 0:41:38.320 now be resolved in the next couple of days, because 0:41:38.320 --> 0:41:39.760 we can't put up with it any longer. 0:41:40.360 --> 0:41:40.480 Now. 0:41:40.680 --> 0:41:44.320 Coals has announced today they're dropping the prices of hundreds 0:41:44.320 --> 0:41:47.880 of their products. The supermarket Giant has also announced a 0:41:48.040 --> 0:41:51.480 change to their flybys scheme. This is actually part of 0:41:51.560 --> 0:41:55.880 what looks like a war breaking out between Coals Wars anality. Also, 0:41:56.400 --> 0:41:58.280 because it was only a week or so ago, Woars 0:41:58.320 --> 0:42:00.600 made a similar pledge that they were cutting prices of 0:42:00.840 --> 0:42:04.680 four hundred lines. Cole says from Wednesday, customers will save 0:42:04.760 --> 0:42:09.799 on three hundred and seven winter essentials household staples, including meat, 0:42:10.280 --> 0:42:13.440 bakery items, items that you need to stock your pantry with, 0:42:13.600 --> 0:42:16.320 dairy as well. So the supermarket wars hiding up and 0:42:16.400 --> 0:42:19.400 that's good for us the customer. Barry Urkhat is a 0:42:19.440 --> 0:42:22.720 consumed behavior expert with marketing focus and joins us. Hello Barry, 0:42:24.600 --> 0:42:25.400 what do you think is behind this? 0:42:25.520 --> 0:42:25.759 Barry? 0:42:26.560 --> 0:42:29.120 Hello Evan what do you think is behind this change? 0:42:29.680 --> 0:42:31.440 Oh, what's behind of I think that to a large 0:42:31.480 --> 0:42:34.440 extent there's something to do with market forces or consumer behavior. 0:42:34.840 --> 0:42:37.480 It is all to do about the political imperatives. And 0:42:37.520 --> 0:42:43.640 it's up until May three foremost in the lexicon of 0:42:43.719 --> 0:42:47.160 the political arena, and the campaigning was about the injustice 0:42:47.239 --> 0:42:53.600 of the supermarkets with price gouging, with the supplier suppression, 0:42:54.000 --> 0:42:57.080 and all of a sudden, the nationals are starting to say, 0:42:57.200 --> 0:43:00.719 let's have divestment. The spot by this very much retailing 0:43:00.800 --> 0:43:04.719 generally supermarkets in particular, and so consequently, because they are 0:43:04.800 --> 0:43:07.759 the political hot potato, coles will worsen to a lesser 0:43:07.800 --> 0:43:10.160 extentality have responded to that accordingly. 0:43:10.320 --> 0:43:12.600 So even though the election's over and it's been one 0:43:12.640 --> 0:43:15.600 by the Labor Party, you think that the supermarket giants 0:43:15.640 --> 0:43:17.840 are still feeling that pressure, Well, the. 0:43:17.800 --> 0:43:20.520 Spotlights still on them. They're very, very sensitive. Consumers have 0:43:20.719 --> 0:43:24.640 started to speak less about the cost of living crisis, 0:43:24.760 --> 0:43:26.560 but it is a reality that every time they go 0:43:26.680 --> 0:43:29.840 to the supermarket there is a reinforcement drip drip of 0:43:31.000 --> 0:43:35.160 less money, less discretionary purchases, and pressure on their living standards. 0:43:35.239 --> 0:43:38.000 So consequently that's the sort of thing that it's working. 0:43:38.120 --> 0:43:40.440 So they're trying to win the hearts and minds of people. 0:43:40.800 --> 0:43:44.279 But I would say step back, look at history, and 0:43:44.400 --> 0:43:47.760 in all probability this will not be a successful campaign 0:43:47.880 --> 0:43:51.960 by either Coles or or worse, because prior to February 0:43:52.080 --> 0:43:57.480 twenty twenty, with the onset of COVID nineteen a pandemic, 0:43:57.920 --> 0:44:00.360 we had and you will recorded too with the your listeners, 0:44:00.840 --> 0:44:04.040 one dollar liters of milk, two dollars loaves of bread, 0:44:04.120 --> 0:44:08.680 eight dollar hot chickens, and various low prices of eggs. 0:44:08.840 --> 0:44:11.200 Now that didn't work. Well, let me tell you what 0:44:11.280 --> 0:44:17.000 the consequences of those specific price driven campaigns really resulted in. One, 0:44:17.560 --> 0:44:22.359 they sold more products. Two, consumers did not spend more money. 0:44:22.880 --> 0:44:26.120 So consequently you did not have an increase in revenue, 0:44:26.160 --> 0:44:29.359 and in that margins for Squeeze profit went out the door. 0:44:29.680 --> 0:44:32.080 And so in a very short period of time, the 0:44:32.200 --> 0:44:35.440 supermarket said this is not working because we're not getting 0:44:35.480 --> 0:44:38.760 more customers, they're not shopping more regularly, and they're not loyal. 0:44:39.080 --> 0:44:41.879 So it is the sort of thing where it's as 0:44:41.960 --> 0:44:46.240 in this instance, it attracts headlines, but it doesn't improve 0:44:46.360 --> 0:44:47.320 the bottom line. 0:44:47.760 --> 0:44:50.720 When when they cut prices like this, so for coals 0:44:50.800 --> 0:44:53.439 it's three hundred and seven products and for twelve weeks 0:44:53.520 --> 0:44:56.799 for words, it's something like four hundred. Do they then 0:44:57.000 --> 0:45:01.040 increase prices for other, perhaps not commonly purchase products to 0:45:01.120 --> 0:45:02.560 try to make up the difference. 0:45:03.239 --> 0:45:07.200 In a generalized statement, no, I think that's again an 0:45:07.239 --> 0:45:11.239 emotional drive, which is very good media situations, but it's 0:45:11.360 --> 0:45:15.480 not verifiable on the shelves and the bigger markets. And 0:45:15.520 --> 0:45:19.440 that's Sally. Look, there is no question about it. Come Easter, 0:45:20.120 --> 0:45:22.839 the price of Easter eggs went up, but then again, 0:45:22.960 --> 0:45:25.600 chocolates were in very short supply or the basic product 0:45:25.680 --> 0:45:28.000 of chocolates, and so very quickly, all you had to 0:45:28.040 --> 0:45:30.040 do was to say, well, I won't buy my Easter 0:45:30.160 --> 0:45:32.600 eggs this year until the last five days before Easter, 0:45:32.960 --> 0:45:34.600 because they're going to buy up on stop. They're not 0:45:34.640 --> 0:45:36.560 going to be selling the merchandise for a fifty and 0:45:36.600 --> 0:45:40.160 sixty percent price increase and low and behold supply. And surprise, 0:45:40.480 --> 0:45:44.080 what happened five days out from Easter baying fifty percent 0:45:44.239 --> 0:45:47.680 off Easter reg So consumers are smart. Now, this is 0:45:47.760 --> 0:45:50.640 the sort of thing Clinton that you know, let's talk 0:45:50.680 --> 0:45:53.640 about that because I when I read this, I thought, now, 0:45:53.640 --> 0:45:56.520 I can't believe that they're addressing this to the consumers, 0:45:56.560 --> 0:45:58.839 because I thought this will only apply to people who 0:45:58.920 --> 0:46:01.759 have got a graduate degree in the STEM studies were 0:46:01.800 --> 0:46:05.319 a major in mathematics. Three hundred and seven products day, 0:46:05.520 --> 0:46:08.120 twelve weeks, commencing on the fourth of June with an 0:46:08.120 --> 0:46:12.480 average ninety What happened to Tony Abbott being criticized about 0:46:12.560 --> 0:46:15.360 his three word policies stop the boats? 0:46:16.040 --> 0:46:16.560 Let me give you. 0:46:16.920 --> 0:46:22.160 Three successful, long, sustaining, brilliant campaigns in retailing, but out 0:46:22.160 --> 0:46:30.080 of America. Macy's three word policy satisfaction guaranteed period Walnuts 0:46:30.440 --> 0:46:34.560 the biggest and the most successful supermarket and retail chain 0:46:34.640 --> 0:46:40.480 in the world. Three words everyday, lower prices. That's what 0:46:40.719 --> 0:46:44.120 consumers want. Consumers walk the shells of Coles Warl Worls 0:46:44.200 --> 0:46:46.400 and to a Lessex and Elders and then used to 0:46:46.440 --> 0:46:50.480 see signs half price. Half price is a lot better 0:46:50.560 --> 0:46:55.080 than an average of nineteen percent or ten percent improvement 0:46:55.680 --> 0:46:59.399 on the points accumulated by flybys. Now, let me put 0:46:59.480 --> 0:47:03.520 that on that sounds attractive ten times the usual fly 0:47:03.640 --> 0:47:06.359 buys points to qualify for a ten dollars off your bill. 0:47:07.080 --> 0:47:09.600 The average return that you get from your fly guys 0:47:09.719 --> 0:47:12.760 or loyalty programs like the Red War program is about 0:47:12.840 --> 0:47:15.640 two percent. Multiply that by ten it's about twenty percent. 0:47:16.120 --> 0:47:19.560 That's hardly an exciting discounting strategy that is going to 0:47:20.040 --> 0:47:24.040 tract and compel consumers to prefer and become loyal to 0:47:24.160 --> 0:47:26.120 any one particular brand of supermarkets. 0:47:26.239 --> 0:47:28.799 The research calls is conducted with their own customer base 0:47:28.920 --> 0:47:31.680 shows that thirty six percent of their customers, so it's 0:47:31.719 --> 0:47:35.360 more than one in three are actively seeking out specials, 0:47:35.440 --> 0:47:38.960 so more people are looking for cheaper products. In your experience, 0:47:39.040 --> 0:47:40.880 and given that we are going through is still an 0:47:40.920 --> 0:47:43.719 inflationary environment, even though inflations come down. Do you think 0:47:43.760 --> 0:47:44.360 that's accurate? 0:47:45.640 --> 0:47:45.759 Oh? 0:47:45.840 --> 0:47:48.200 Yes, I think it's probably understated. I would put it 0:47:48.320 --> 0:47:52.360 to you that we have gone from discount savers to 0:47:52.520 --> 0:47:58.720 economist savers. Your supermarket shoppers today are smart shoppers. Before 0:47:58.800 --> 0:48:02.440 they go shopping. In close to seventy two percent of instances, 0:48:02.560 --> 0:48:05.680 they go online. They see what the prices are, determine 0:48:05.719 --> 0:48:08.120 what the brands are, look at the outlets, and then 0:48:08.200 --> 0:48:09.120 go out there and buy. 0:48:09.560 --> 0:48:09.719 Now. 0:48:09.800 --> 0:48:13.680 That's replaced windows shopping, so that when they go out, 0:48:13.840 --> 0:48:17.640 regardless of what their post code is, they are very 0:48:17.800 --> 0:48:22.160 very sensitive about price and value and proposition. So I 0:48:22.320 --> 0:48:25.880 think that if Coles and Woolworths really want to understand 0:48:26.320 --> 0:48:29.320 the consumers, let's put price in. And you and I 0:48:29.480 --> 0:48:32.080 have spoken about this over the years. Price is the 0:48:32.280 --> 0:48:36.359 fourth most important thing in the determination of where people buy. 0:48:36.840 --> 0:48:39.360 I've just written an article. I get syndicated by forty 0:48:39.480 --> 0:48:42.319 nine trade and indusue magazines around the world, and I've 0:48:42.400 --> 0:48:44.000 just written an article about value. 0:48:44.480 --> 0:48:45.000 Here is the. 0:48:45.080 --> 0:48:47.560 Message to the board and the management team of both 0:48:47.640 --> 0:48:48.760 Coals and Wilworth. 0:48:49.400 --> 0:48:51.880 If you want to be valued. 0:48:52.800 --> 0:48:58.600 Offer value every day, lower prices consistently across the board 0:48:58.719 --> 0:49:02.800 rather than well here's the point. They have actually reduced 0:49:02.840 --> 0:49:05.200 their product range from thirty five thousand and in the 0:49:05.239 --> 0:49:08.600 full range supermarket down to the metro stores of about 0:49:08.640 --> 0:49:12.479 twenty four thousand products. The consumers are saying, I don't 0:49:12.560 --> 0:49:15.280 care whether it's four hundred with WARL Worsaals three hundred 0:49:15.280 --> 0:49:18.239 and seven with Cahals. When I go shopping, and I 0:49:18.360 --> 0:49:20.640 go in my major shopping but I typically go two 0:49:20.719 --> 0:49:23.319 or three times a week, I'm not interested in whether 0:49:23.320 --> 0:49:25.919 it's three hundred and seven or four hundred. I want 0:49:26.000 --> 0:49:27.920 the less than fifty products that I'm going to buy, 0:49:28.360 --> 0:49:30.520 all of them to be at a discounted. 0:49:30.080 --> 0:49:32.960 Tribe consistently lower prices. I appreciate your inside. Thank you, 0:49:33.000 --> 0:49:36.840 Barry Hey, Sir Glinton Barry erkout from marketing focus. So 0:49:37.120 --> 0:49:40.279 for Coles, it's three hundred and seven products down for 0:49:40.480 --> 0:49:43.520 just twelve weeks and they are staples by an average 0:49:43.560 --> 0:49:45.920 of nineteen percent. For Woers, it will be in the 0:49:45.960 --> 0:49:48.799 vicinity of four hundred. But what do you prefer? Did 0:49:49.160 --> 0:49:51.920 did you like to see those one off savings or consistently, 0:49:51.960 --> 0:49:56.960 as Barry explains, consistently lower prices. Can share experience with 0:49:57.080 --> 0:50:02.640 me one three one eight seven three and we got 0:50:02.680 --> 0:50:03.640 the way. That's Josh Bryant. 0:50:04.040 --> 0:50:07.120 Good afternoon, Quintin twenty two people in Nigeria have been 0:50:07.200 --> 0:50:12.040 arrested in an international sting on sextortion scammers, including two 0:50:12.120 --> 0:50:14.000 who are believed to have been linked to the suicide 0:50:14.080 --> 0:50:17.120 of a sixteen year old Australian. Aaron Patterson, has been 0:50:17.200 --> 0:50:20.120 called to give evidence in her murder trial in Victoria, 0:50:20.239 --> 0:50:23.120 accused of poisoning her in laws with a meal containing 0:50:23.239 --> 0:50:26.239 death cap mushrooms. The pro Minister won't be drawn on 0:50:26.320 --> 0:50:30.120 whether Australia will further increase its defense spending amid pressure 0:50:30.239 --> 0:50:32.680 from the United States to do so, and the latest 0:50:32.760 --> 0:50:35.080 data from the EDDI Scam Center says there's been a 0:50:35.160 --> 0:50:38.680 twenty eight percent increase in financial losses to scams despite 0:50:38.680 --> 0:50:42.280 a drop in overall reports. In sport, Australian all rounder 0:50:42.280 --> 0:50:45.720 Glenn Maxwell's retired from One day International cricket to focus 0:50:45.800 --> 0:50:48.600 on Australia's campaign to win the T twenty World Cup 0:50:48.719 --> 0:50:49.160 next year. 0:50:49.239 --> 0:50:50.360 We'll have more news and sported. 0:50:50.440 --> 0:50:50.640 Five. 0:50:50.760 --> 0:50:53.280 Thank you, Josh. Seventeen degrees in the coast, fifteen degrees 0:50:53.320 --> 0:50:55.920 in Campbelltown at the moment. Quite overcast across much of 0:50:55.960 --> 0:50:59.400 Sydney at the moment. Hopefully those skies clear up for 0:50:59.600 --> 0:51:03.680 to because the aurora should be expected to be seen 0:51:03.719 --> 0:51:06.680 across much of Sydney again tonight. I don't know if 0:51:06.680 --> 0:51:08.680 you saw it last night. I missed it, but there 0:51:08.760 --> 0:51:12.000 was a wonderful pink glow of Sydney's beaches and you 0:51:12.040 --> 0:51:14.520 could see this so all the way from Kouma through 0:51:14.560 --> 0:51:18.200 to Tamworth. This is quite a spectacular site. It's a 0:51:18.320 --> 0:51:21.840 solar storm that's raging on the Aurora. But if the 0:51:22.120 --> 0:51:25.200 overcast conditions continue this evening, you might not be able 0:51:25.239 --> 0:51:27.840 to see that. I was from across to Simon. Simon's 0:51:27.960 --> 0:51:29.839 in Libken with a bit of a drama on the road. 0:51:29.960 --> 0:51:33.680 Hi, Simon that Clinton, I've got a car and broke down. 0:51:34.160 --> 0:51:38.799 He's onsten Hilly Is facing northbound just before Paramotta Roads. 0:51:39.760 --> 0:51:42.560 Okay, so you are you're on PARAMOUNTA Road, so you're 0:51:42.680 --> 0:51:43.880 just near Parameda Road, are you? 0:51:44.640 --> 0:51:47.600 Yeah, I'm actually on sen Hillis going towards Paramounta Road. 0:51:47.960 --> 0:51:51.560 But he's actually just about half five hundred meters from 0:51:51.680 --> 0:51:53.280 Paramount Road on Saint Hilios. 0:51:53.400 --> 0:51:55.080 Okay, is he causing any delays there yet? 0:51:55.880 --> 0:51:56.040 Oh? 0:51:56.200 --> 0:51:58.879 Yeah, because he's blocking two lanes, so it's hen really 0:51:58.920 --> 0:51:59.680 down to one lane? 0:52:00.400 --> 0:52:00.879 All right? 0:52:00.960 --> 0:52:02.759 What was he merging between two lanes at the time 0:52:02.880 --> 0:52:03.120 or something? 0:52:03.280 --> 0:52:03.400 Was he? 0:52:03.960 --> 0:52:04.160 Well? 0:52:04.239 --> 0:52:06.239 I think I spoke to the guy. He said he 0:52:06.360 --> 0:52:08.520 had a bit of some road rage, and I mean 0:52:08.600 --> 0:52:14.160 guys taking his keys what And he's also asking for 0:52:14.200 --> 0:52:15.960 a toey He's asking me He's like he had organized 0:52:15.960 --> 0:52:16.319 a toe. 0:52:16.280 --> 0:52:19.200 So hang on the drive. The driver of the car, 0:52:19.560 --> 0:52:21.640 somebody has taken his keys when he's stuck. 0:52:22.440 --> 0:52:24.279 Well, that's what he said to me. Yeah, because I'm 0:52:24.320 --> 0:52:26.399 in a truck. So he's just opened a side door 0:52:26.440 --> 0:52:29.279 to let me know, and he was asking for a 0:52:29.320 --> 0:52:32.759 towey to get him out of off the road to 0:52:32.920 --> 0:52:36.160 the side and eventually he had some road raiser and 0:52:36.200 --> 0:52:39.000 somebody's taking his keys. Apparently he's got no power steering. 0:52:39.600 --> 0:52:42.000 Apparently we can't drive the car without keys either. Simon, 0:52:42.040 --> 0:52:44.000 thanks letting us know about that. We'll actually check that 0:52:44.080 --> 0:52:46.320 with the police. So soon Hill he is rode Lidkem 0:52:47.000 --> 0:52:49.319 just before you're coming on to Paramatta Road. You've got 0:52:49.480 --> 0:52:53.319 someone in the car there who has no keys. Very 0:52:53.400 --> 0:52:56.320 difficult to drive your car without any keys. We'll speak 0:52:56.320 --> 0:52:59.040 with the police about that because from what Simon's telling 0:52:59.120 --> 0:53:01.040 us is a truck driver there was some sort of 0:53:01.120 --> 0:53:04.000 road rage incident and the blok has lost his set 0:53:04.040 --> 0:53:05.080 of keys. Quite bizarre. 0:53:06.000 --> 0:53:06.680 You'll want to know. 0:53:06.880 --> 0:53:10.600 What's happening in Sydney stay June to Sydney out with 0:53:10.760 --> 0:53:11.680 Clinton later. 0:53:11.960 --> 0:53:14.880 On to June twenty five to five. Earlier on the program, 0:53:14.960 --> 0:53:17.520 I was talking about the new tourism campaign that's been 0:53:17.600 --> 0:53:19.480 launched for New South Wales. And this is a campaign 0:53:19.520 --> 0:53:22.640 that doesn't feature our icons because it's trying to encourage 0:53:22.640 --> 0:53:25.240 people from inter state to come to Sydney. And based 0:53:25.239 --> 0:53:28.320 on the research that's been conducted by Destination New South Wales, 0:53:28.400 --> 0:53:30.680 they've found that well, people into state, they've already seen 0:53:30.719 --> 0:53:32.799 the Opera House, they know all about the Harbor Bridge, 0:53:32.840 --> 0:53:35.280 so they're not going to come to Sydney for those icons. 0:53:35.360 --> 0:53:38.040 They need to come to Sydney to have an experience. 0:53:38.520 --> 0:53:38.680 Well. 0:53:38.760 --> 0:53:43.080 Interestingly, a list has been released about beaches around the 0:53:43.160 --> 0:53:46.080 world and this has actually found that two of our 0:53:46.160 --> 0:53:49.560 most famous beaches in Sydney are on the list of 0:53:49.600 --> 0:53:54.400 the most disappointing beaches across the globe. The list of 0:53:54.480 --> 0:53:59.160 the top twenty most complained about beaches worldwide now number 0:53:59.239 --> 0:54:03.640 one is Kaki, follow followed by Hawaii of course, followed 0:54:03.680 --> 0:54:06.759 by Venice Beach. But there are two Australian beaches to 0:54:07.000 --> 0:54:11.160 Sydney beaches that are actually on this list. Bondai Bondi 0:54:11.280 --> 0:54:14.720 Beach is ranked ninth most disappointing beach in the world. 0:54:15.880 --> 0:54:19.520 Manly Beach is the twentieth most disappointing beach in the world. 0:54:19.560 --> 0:54:21.720 How could Manly be one of the most disappointing beaches 0:54:21.719 --> 0:54:23.440 in the world. When we had the pot of whales, 0:54:23.480 --> 0:54:26.080 well that was really around Manly Cove a little earlier 0:54:26.120 --> 0:54:29.680 in the harbor. Manly has scored up forty seven point 0:54:29.800 --> 0:54:33.720 four percent because it has a high dirty score. Apparently 0:54:33.719 --> 0:54:36.120 there's a lot of concern about dirt in the water, 0:54:36.640 --> 0:54:40.960 dirty water, but also overcrowding and noise disruption. But Bondai 0:54:41.080 --> 0:54:44.040 is even worse. It has an overcrowding percentage just seventy 0:54:44.120 --> 0:54:48.440 five point nine percent and noise disruption as well. So 0:54:48.600 --> 0:54:50.759 Bondi and Manly on the list of the twenty most 0:54:50.800 --> 0:54:54.720 complaint about beaches in the world on Sydney. 0:54:54.800 --> 0:55:00.040 Now you can't handle the true the strakes into. 0:55:02.480 --> 0:55:05.279 The biggest issue in state politics this week is going 0:55:05.320 --> 0:55:08.320 to be the future of our worker's compensation skill and 0:55:08.440 --> 0:55:11.920 that's because it's blown out. The reason it's blown out 0:55:12.040 --> 0:55:15.640 is because of claims for psychological injuries in the workplace, 0:55:15.960 --> 0:55:19.480 mental health issues. And it's the labor government that actually 0:55:19.480 --> 0:55:21.680 wants to address this and they want to make some 0:55:21.760 --> 0:55:25.520 significant changes where there'll be different tests that judge the 0:55:25.600 --> 0:55:27.959 psychological industry. In fact, that there could be a whole 0:55:28.200 --> 0:55:31.279 separate system to deal with this particular problem, and I 0:55:31.360 --> 0:55:33.439 wanted to talk to Craig Laundy, who's our straight shooter 0:55:33.520 --> 0:55:36.680 on Monday, about this one, because he's in the world 0:55:36.760 --> 0:55:39.320 of business and smaller medium business, but also he's a 0:55:39.360 --> 0:55:41.960 former Liberal MP and there's a lot of pressure right 0:55:42.080 --> 0:55:45.279 now on the Liberal Party. Hello Craig, Hey Clinton, how 0:55:45.280 --> 0:55:46.920 are you. I'm good. The reason I say there's a 0:55:46.920 --> 0:55:48.520 lot of pressure in Liberal Party because as we go 0:55:48.600 --> 0:55:51.000 to are right now there is a shadow Cabinet meeting 0:55:51.320 --> 0:55:54.120 on and during the Shadow Cabinet meeting, which is led 0:55:54.200 --> 0:55:57.560 by Mark Speakman, they are discussing legislation that's going to 0:55:57.600 --> 0:55:59.720 go to State Parliament. This is Daniel Mookie, the treasure 0:55:59.719 --> 0:56:02.600 of the l Eber Treasurer's legislation to go to Parliament 0:56:02.640 --> 0:56:04.960 this week to make changes to the way workers' compensation, 0:56:05.080 --> 0:56:08.840 but particularly the way mental health claims are treated. The 0:56:08.920 --> 0:56:10.920 reason for this is and this has been an issue 0:56:10.960 --> 0:56:14.840 for some years though I Care being financially unsustainable. This 0:56:14.960 --> 0:56:19.320 is the main workers compensation insurance body in New South Wales, 0:56:19.480 --> 0:56:21.120 so Daniel Wookie's had a look at it and he 0:56:21.280 --> 0:56:23.360 basically wants to change the way mental health has dealt with. 0:56:24.280 --> 0:56:27.440 They say the government says if these changes aren't approved 0:56:27.440 --> 0:56:29.719 by Parliament, it will lead to a dramatic increase in 0:56:29.880 --> 0:56:34.040 premiums for businesses. It will hurt the taxpayer as well 0:56:34.320 --> 0:56:38.480 that funds obviously public claims. At the moment. Now, my 0:56:38.600 --> 0:56:41.640 information is that no decision as we go to air 0:56:41.719 --> 0:56:43.920 right now has been made by the Liberal Party and 0:56:43.960 --> 0:56:47.920 the Nationals about whether they'll support this legislation or not. Now, 0:56:47.960 --> 0:56:50.239 when you think about it, it would be very much 0:56:50.400 --> 0:56:54.320 a Liberal Party core philosophy to support this change. 0:56:55.320 --> 0:56:58.279 It's like I'm living in a parallel universe. I mean, 0:56:58.440 --> 0:57:00.920 we've just come out of a federal election where they 0:57:01.000 --> 0:57:04.400 got delivered a message loud and clear, and you have 0:57:04.560 --> 0:57:09.719 a state opposition Liberal coalition, Liberal National Coalition government that 0:57:09.880 --> 0:57:11.719 are looking at turning their back. And let's put some 0:57:11.840 --> 0:57:15.240 numbers on this, Clinton. There's been a twenty six percent 0:57:15.400 --> 0:57:19.600 increase in workers' comp insurance premiums over the past three years, 0:57:20.280 --> 0:57:23.720 and it is forecast that the next three years, if 0:57:23.880 --> 0:57:27.120 the system is left unabated, there will be thirty six 0:57:27.240 --> 0:57:28.280 percent increase. 0:57:28.800 --> 0:57:30.240 And it's just how you. 0:57:30.280 --> 0:57:33.880 Could not And every major employer in the country is 0:57:34.240 --> 0:57:37.160 calling on the LIB and the Nats who are well, 0:57:37.280 --> 0:57:39.600 you know those people are the Libs and the Gnats 0:57:39.720 --> 0:57:40.760 core constituents. 0:57:40.880 --> 0:57:43.160 Now, if you don't if you don't run a small business, 0:57:43.160 --> 0:57:45.200 you don't work in you don't work in the management 0:57:45.240 --> 0:57:47.480 of a medium sized business or a large business, you 0:57:47.520 --> 0:57:50.640 probably don't have a clue about this. But workers compensation 0:57:50.800 --> 0:57:53.960 premiums are paid by every business. It's compulsory to have 0:57:54.040 --> 0:57:57.960 workers compensation insurance. So if the premiums go up, that's 0:57:58.000 --> 0:58:00.920 going to increase the costs of every every single business 0:58:01.000 --> 0:58:03.000 in our state, which is going to be passed on 0:58:03.080 --> 0:58:03.640 to our listeners. 0:58:03.720 --> 0:58:04.280 It's passed on. 0:58:04.360 --> 0:58:07.160 And this system is so bad Clinton in its design 0:58:07.720 --> 0:58:11.760 that when you incur the cost, it's added to your 0:58:11.880 --> 0:58:15.360 premium for the following three years by the insurance company. 0:58:15.800 --> 0:58:18.720 So this is a cost that is born four times 0:58:18.760 --> 0:58:21.680 what business once a year, once at the start, and 0:58:21.760 --> 0:58:24.160 then for the following three years. And no one gets that. 0:58:24.440 --> 0:58:27.120 And the drama I've got is the people sitting around 0:58:27.160 --> 0:58:31.520 the shadow Cabinet table today this afternoon, and the parallel 0:58:31.640 --> 0:58:35.360 universe thing. It's the Labor Party that is making sense 0:58:35.480 --> 0:58:40.440 yet again on a key economic issue that should be 0:58:40.560 --> 0:58:42.240 bread and butter for the Libs and the Nats. 0:58:42.280 --> 0:58:44.360 I've got a quote here from Mark Speakman held a 0:58:44.400 --> 0:58:47.520 press conference mid afternoon and he was asked about what 0:58:47.640 --> 0:58:50.959 the position would be of shadow cabinet on this. He said, 0:58:51.320 --> 0:58:53.360 we will do our very best this afternoon as a 0:58:53.440 --> 0:58:56.640 shadow cabinet and tomorrow in a joint party room. So 0:58:56.720 --> 0:58:58.360 the Liberals and Nationals meet on the first day of 0:58:58.400 --> 0:59:01.000 parliament for the week tomorrow to sect the issue and 0:59:01.080 --> 0:59:04.040 announce our position. So they haven't come to a position yet. 0:59:04.040 --> 0:59:06.360 Which which is crazy, and they're hiding behind the fig 0:59:06.480 --> 0:59:09.600 leaf that this is being foist upon them. Everyone knows 0:59:09.720 --> 0:59:14.160 this system has been broken. No one's been hundred and 0:59:14.280 --> 0:59:16.760 they weren't prepared to do anything. Here's a labor government, 0:59:16.840 --> 0:59:21.120 Daniel Murki's treasurer prepared to do something. But they're also saying, 0:59:21.160 --> 0:59:23.600 oh that they want an inquiry. Here's an idea, Clinton. 0:59:24.080 --> 0:59:25.160 They are the opposition. 0:59:25.680 --> 0:59:27.040 They sit in the lower House. 0:59:27.080 --> 0:59:29.360 In the Upper House, if you don't like what's been 0:59:29.440 --> 0:59:33.680 presented to you in the last week, make amendments, use 0:59:33.760 --> 0:59:36.479 the parliamentary process to make it better. 0:59:36.680 --> 0:59:39.240 Maybe that's what they're discussing right at the moment. So 0:59:39.560 --> 0:59:41.840 maybe broadly they'll support but with amendments. 0:59:41.920 --> 0:59:46.760 Now, just to clarify, well, in today's AFR, Damien Tudah Hope, 0:59:46.760 --> 0:59:50.200 who was the Shadow Treasurer, is talking about an inquiry. 0:59:49.840 --> 0:59:53.200 An upper House inquiry about what. Look, the Labor Party 0:59:53.240 --> 0:59:55.280 loves an inquiry, right, they call reviews it inquiries at 0:59:55.280 --> 0:59:57.280 the drop of the hat. But the Liberals aren't going 0:59:57.320 --> 0:59:59.800 to help themselves by doing that. Now, just in case 0:59:59.840 --> 1:00:02.040 you haven't followed this over the last couple of months, 1:00:02.080 --> 1:00:06.160 because it's not particularly a sexy issue. But why I'm 1:00:06.240 --> 1:00:08.960 raising it is because if the premiums go up dramatically 1:00:09.000 --> 1:00:11.520 for business, it will affect all of us because we 1:00:11.560 --> 1:00:13.920 all interact with businesses and buy their goods and services, 1:00:13.960 --> 1:00:16.000 so it will mean things will go up in price. 1:00:16.960 --> 1:00:20.520 Where the big increase in payouts is occurring is for 1:00:20.680 --> 1:00:25.760 psychological injuries. Now, I'm not downplaying mental health concerns whatsoever, 1:00:25.920 --> 1:00:27.880 because most of us now have some sort of connection, 1:00:28.360 --> 1:00:30.360 whether it's with our own families or our loved ones 1:00:30.400 --> 1:00:34.080 who have dealt with these issues. It's a big gray area. 1:00:34.120 --> 1:00:36.920 It is difficult to judge. I don't want to downplay that, 1:00:37.600 --> 1:00:40.320 but there has been a dramatic increase in claims made 1:00:40.400 --> 1:00:43.600 through the workers compensation scheme for people suffering these mental 1:00:43.680 --> 1:00:47.440 health injuries in the workplace. Now, your family, as we know, 1:00:48.000 --> 1:00:52.760 runs pubs, pretty big, big organization. I've no doubt you 1:00:52.800 --> 1:00:56.280 would have employees who have made claims for your insurance 1:00:56.360 --> 1:00:59.920 premiums for your insurance coverage about mental health issues. 1:01:00.320 --> 1:01:03.480 Employers Mutual, and let me give some lived experience with 1:01:03.600 --> 1:01:07.040 how this system is being gained. Employers Mutual as our employer. 1:01:07.560 --> 1:01:11.520 They recently pursued an ex employer of ours who we 1:01:11.640 --> 1:01:14.720 were performance managing because she wasn't doing the job the 1:01:14.760 --> 1:01:19.760 way we wanted it done. It wasn't aggressive abusive, it 1:01:20.040 --> 1:01:22.320 was hey, these are the way, these are the parameters. 1:01:22.640 --> 1:01:24.960 She then went on and claimed stress leave. She was 1:01:25.040 --> 1:01:28.280 on stress leave for an extended period of time, and 1:01:28.600 --> 1:01:33.040 just coincidentally, fortunately I happened to learn that you wouldn't 1:01:33.040 --> 1:01:37.000 believe it. Three suburbs away, she's working running a hotel. 1:01:36.720 --> 1:01:37.640 For my cousins. 1:01:37.960 --> 1:01:39.800 But I thought she was on stress liss She was 1:01:40.080 --> 1:01:44.840 collecting a check from us every week. Now, the employer's Mutual, 1:01:44.960 --> 1:01:47.560 at our request, they didn't want to pursue this. We 1:01:47.760 --> 1:01:50.000 made them pursure it because it would have stayed on 1:01:50.080 --> 1:01:51.080 our premium. 1:01:50.720 --> 1:01:51.280 For three years. 1:01:51.320 --> 1:01:54.560 Now that it was sheer good fortune that we happened 1:01:54.600 --> 1:01:57.720 to find out she was working somewhere nearby. But there 1:01:57.880 --> 1:02:00.640 is a prime example and what did she claim? And 1:02:00.760 --> 1:02:03.640 this is the part very technical, but section eleven A 1:02:03.800 --> 1:02:07.640 of the Act. It's where you cannot effectively performance manage 1:02:07.640 --> 1:02:09.320 your staff because the first thing they do is put 1:02:09.400 --> 1:02:11.720 up their hands. And we don't have all afternoon. I'm 1:02:11.720 --> 1:02:14.480 sure you listeners that have businesses out there will be 1:02:14.560 --> 1:02:16.640 dialing in between five and six and giving you their 1:02:16.640 --> 1:02:20.840 own lived experience. But it has to be a feed, inconsistent, 1:02:21.000 --> 1:02:24.680 robust that looks after absolutely the mental health of people 1:02:25.800 --> 1:02:28.640 in workplace environments. But it can't do that at the 1:02:28.760 --> 1:02:30.320 expense of throwing employers on. 1:02:30.360 --> 1:02:30.960 The scrap bait. 1:02:31.280 --> 1:02:33.880 And where this is difficult is that And again I'm 1:02:33.920 --> 1:02:37.280 not trying to dismiss mental health issues, but if somebody 1:02:37.400 --> 1:02:40.760 breaks a leg in the workplace, it's actually really clear 1:02:41.320 --> 1:02:43.120 they've slipped on the banana that's been left on the 1:02:43.200 --> 1:02:47.000 kitchen floor. They're broken their leg. If somebody is bullied 1:02:47.040 --> 1:02:52.200 in the workplace and then suffers a mental breakdown, it's 1:02:52.200 --> 1:02:55.920 actually really difficult to prove. So there's no doubt these 1:02:55.960 --> 1:02:57.800 issues do exist in the workplace. We all know this 1:02:57.960 --> 1:03:00.560 is what happens. This has happened for generation, and we 1:03:00.640 --> 1:03:03.320 know we take these issues seriously now. But we also 1:03:03.400 --> 1:03:06.200 need to modernize the system so we can actually assess 1:03:06.280 --> 1:03:09.560 those problems fairly, and so we're not ripping ourselves off, 1:03:09.600 --> 1:03:11.280 because in the end, we're all ripping ourselves off because 1:03:11.280 --> 1:03:12.520 we end up paying more we pay. 1:03:12.720 --> 1:03:15.200 But the other thing, Clinton is these people at the 1:03:15.280 --> 1:03:17.640 time that are gaining the system are ultimately not thinking 1:03:17.760 --> 1:03:21.480 longer term. I mean, once you have this issue sitting 1:03:21.560 --> 1:03:25.520 against you as an employee, who do you think is 1:03:25.560 --> 1:03:29.080 going to hire you post this? Yeah, I mean you're 1:03:29.160 --> 1:03:33.320 basically unemployable because the insurer would be saying to the employer, no, 1:03:33.440 --> 1:03:36.080 we're not prepared to ensure her because there's a pre 1:03:36.200 --> 1:03:38.920 insisting for him, because there's a pre existing condition that 1:03:39.160 --> 1:03:43.920 the system's broken. And it just defies belief that the 1:03:44.040 --> 1:03:47.520 Party of Small and Family Business in this state, you know, 1:03:48.240 --> 1:03:49.880 is going to kick it down the road. 1:03:49.760 --> 1:03:50.360 To an inquiry. 1:03:50.640 --> 1:03:53.080 If you don't like it, read it, come up with 1:03:53.160 --> 1:03:55.920 the amendments that are you know, I would hope further 1:03:56.360 --> 1:03:59.640 as strengthening eleven A and make the system long term sustainable. 1:04:00.040 --> 1:04:03.120 The text line says the government is causing him stress. Yeah, 1:04:03.200 --> 1:04:04.200 you might be able to make a claim. 1:04:04.520 --> 1:04:05.439 Yeah, pete, good luck. 1:04:05.960 --> 1:04:08.280 We'll cover that tomorrow because it will be an issue 1:04:08.320 --> 1:04:10.920 in state parliament tomorrow. Chris means today, I think he's 1:04:10.920 --> 1:04:14.240 become the first politician to actually make the obvious point. 1:04:14.320 --> 1:04:17.440 But politicians don't like making it that the high excise 1:04:17.640 --> 1:04:20.360 on cigarettes on tobacco has led to the growth in 1:04:20.440 --> 1:04:24.760 the black market of tobacco. Now again obviously running pubs 1:04:24.800 --> 1:04:27.520 and clubs or pubs, you see smokers and they go 1:04:27.600 --> 1:04:31.680 to their specific area smoking. What's your experience I have? 1:04:32.240 --> 1:04:34.640 And I find this hard to believe, but I have 1:04:34.800 --> 1:04:37.640 a great friend of mine that is still a smoker, 1:04:38.280 --> 1:04:41.840 and recently I asked her about this and she said, oh, yeah, 1:04:41.880 --> 1:04:42.560 no go. 1:04:42.800 --> 1:04:44.040 I used to pay the full freight, but. 1:04:44.040 --> 1:04:45.520 I now go to the tobacconist and I said, have 1:04:45.560 --> 1:04:48.240 you've got any cheaper options? And she's paying seven A 1:04:48.280 --> 1:04:50.400 and eight A nine dollars for a pack of cigarettes. 1:04:50.440 --> 1:04:50.800 What is it? 1:04:51.040 --> 1:04:54.040 It's illegal, chop chop. I mean, you can't have this 1:04:54.160 --> 1:04:57.560 if you want to have excises at that high you 1:04:57.800 --> 1:05:01.000 have to be fed income and plice it. And there's 1:05:01.200 --> 1:05:04.280 no federal or you know, and the state doesn't have 1:05:04.360 --> 1:05:06.360 the resources. They're frontline policing anyway. 1:05:06.680 --> 1:05:08.760 And Christmans has made the point today at the moment 1:05:08.840 --> 1:05:10.680 it's up to New South Wales Health. They have something 1:05:10.760 --> 1:05:13.080 like twelve inspectors and they're going to double it. But 1:05:13.240 --> 1:05:15.560 Chrismins has said, look in the budget we are looking 1:05:15.560 --> 1:05:18.560 at whether we now transfer that policing power to the 1:05:18.640 --> 1:05:21.840 police force itself and Clinton in the fed INCLN department. Again, 1:05:22.160 --> 1:05:24.560 a lot of these politicians have never run a business. 1:05:24.640 --> 1:05:27.280 But how hard would it be to walk in as 1:05:27.360 --> 1:05:30.480 a government employee, built, state or federal and say, can 1:05:30.560 --> 1:05:32.840 you explain to me, show me the invoices on how 1:05:32.880 --> 1:05:35.360 you got this tobacco that's sitting on your shelves or 1:05:35.440 --> 1:05:36.360 in the back store room. 1:05:36.600 --> 1:05:36.960 I mean, it. 1:05:36.920 --> 1:05:39.400 Wouldn't be rocket science, would it. It wouldn't be I mean, 1:05:39.520 --> 1:05:45.480 we have proceeds of crime legislation where we confiscate criminals, cars, houses, jewelry, 1:05:45.560 --> 1:05:49.000 you name it, and we do it through forensic accounting. 1:05:49.600 --> 1:05:52.480 This isn't You don't have complicated accounts, you don't need 1:05:52.480 --> 1:05:55.160 forensic accounting. No, There's a shop I drive past on 1:05:55.200 --> 1:05:58.200 a regular basis. It has a flashing sign saying vapes. Yes, 1:05:58.280 --> 1:06:00.120 they not let us sell vapes. You've got to go 1:06:00.200 --> 1:06:00.920 to a pharmacist. 1:06:01.120 --> 1:06:03.560 That's what I'm saying. It defies belief. I mean, this 1:06:03.680 --> 1:06:06.440 is a frustrating segment this afternoon, because the world is 1:06:06.520 --> 1:06:07.960 we're living in a parallel universe. 1:06:08.240 --> 1:06:10.400 Let's lighten up. Was on this day nineteen eighty six 1:06:10.520 --> 1:06:19.160 Queens A Kind of Magic was released. Begs the question, Craig, 1:06:19.720 --> 1:06:22.360 what is what is the one album that you would 1:06:22.400 --> 1:06:26.080 never stop listening to? Look, I got like this. 1:06:26.400 --> 1:06:29.480 I knew this was coming, and you grow up your 1:06:29.680 --> 1:06:32.040 formative years and year older. I mean it was at 1:06:32.120 --> 1:06:35.080 Robbie Williams Live at Nebsworth. But look, I just couldn't 1:06:35.120 --> 1:06:38.760 go by my mum, my dad playing Hot August Night 1:06:38.960 --> 1:06:42.520 live at the Greek on repeat in those formative years. 1:06:42.560 --> 1:06:44.800 And my my, I've become a Neil Diamond fan. 1:06:44.880 --> 1:06:45.960 Neil Diamond. 1:06:48.160 --> 1:06:51.600 Is good, good life. 1:06:56.240 --> 1:06:58.240 Well see, I might change the pace here. 1:06:58.680 --> 1:06:59.200 Where do you go? 1:07:01.000 --> 1:07:03.800 I'm sort of into melancholic music, to be. 1:07:03.880 --> 1:07:05.520 Honest, that's really changing the place. 1:07:05.640 --> 1:07:16.640 Favorite album of all time is Jeff Buckley's grace and 1:07:16.760 --> 1:07:18.960 that's his version of Lenda Collens. How are you? There 1:07:19.000 --> 1:07:21.080 are some tracks on the album that are a little 1:07:21.080 --> 1:07:23.920 more up tempo. I think it's his. I think it's 1:07:24.080 --> 1:07:27.800 thirty years this year since that album was released. Of 1:07:27.960 --> 1:07:29.520 course he passed away because he went for a swim 1:07:29.520 --> 1:07:31.520 in the Mississippi River with his boots on. 1:07:31.800 --> 1:07:32.000 Yeah. 1:07:32.200 --> 1:07:34.240 Not never a good plan, which is good ideal. Eight 1:07:34.360 --> 1:07:36.600 Thanks Greig, good on your Cleeton, Craig Lordy our straight 1:07:36.640 --> 1:07:37.800 shooter for a Monday afternoon. 1:07:40.520 --> 1:07:45.800 This is Sydney now we've clinton ont GB first. 1:07:45.600 --> 1:07:48.160 Week of winter and very dark around Sydney just after 1:07:48.200 --> 1:07:49.920 five o'clock. Make sure your lights are onto the car 1:07:50.040 --> 1:07:52.760 one three one eight seven three. Simon cordisly learned in 1:07:52.840 --> 1:07:56.000 the program about a broken down camp on Saint Hillier's 1:07:56.120 --> 1:07:58.840 Road near Parramatta Road. Very busy at this time of 1:07:58.880 --> 1:08:02.200 the day and actually the car is blocking two lanes now. 1:08:02.640 --> 1:08:05.400 Simon spoke to the driver and the driver said somebody 1:08:05.440 --> 1:08:07.800 took his keys. It was a road rat incident. We've 1:08:07.840 --> 1:08:10.040 just spoken to the police off there. They don't have 1:08:10.080 --> 1:08:13.080 any reports of keys being stolen. They've suggested perhaps the 1:08:13.200 --> 1:08:17.120 keys have been misplaced, perhaps the keys have been lost. 1:08:17.360 --> 1:08:20.120 A traffic crewis and transport crews now on the scene 1:08:20.160 --> 1:08:23.639 that are diverting traffic around that car. A sixteenage boy 1:08:23.760 --> 1:08:25.640 has now been charged over the brawl we told you 1:08:25.680 --> 1:08:28.400 about a few weeks ago in the Northern Suburbs. This 1:08:28.479 --> 1:08:30.519 occurred at Northbridge. It was a Saturday night a few 1:08:30.560 --> 1:08:33.040 weeks back in the first week of May. It was 1:08:33.280 --> 1:08:37.080 a community fireworks event and a brawl broke out involving 1:08:37.200 --> 1:08:40.080 a stack of teenagers. Officers were told a seventeen year 1:08:40.080 --> 1:08:42.280 old boy was assaulted by a group of teens. He 1:08:42.360 --> 1:08:45.719 had suffered facial injuries was taken to Rayal North Shaw Hospital. 1:08:46.200 --> 1:08:48.320 Five teenagers have been charged so far. 1:08:48.520 --> 1:08:48.680 Well. 1:08:48.760 --> 1:08:52.479 Another teenage boy has been arrested today. A sixteen year 1:08:52.520 --> 1:08:55.360 old was arrested at Roseville, taken to Chatswood Police station. 1:08:55.880 --> 1:08:58.360 He's been charged with a frey and common assault. He 1:08:58.439 --> 1:09:02.160 has been given conditional he'll appear before the Children's Court 1:09:02.439 --> 1:09:03.759 on the twenty fourth June. 1:09:04.280 --> 1:09:08.040 You're listening to Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard on to 1:09:08.320 --> 1:09:11.720 gb col now one three one eight seven three. 1:09:11.800 --> 1:09:14.559 It's a past five. I think the job of opposition leader, 1:09:14.840 --> 1:09:18.120 either at a state or federal level when one of 1:09:18.160 --> 1:09:21.120 the two major parties has had a thumping at an election. 1:09:21.400 --> 1:09:23.760 The job of opposition leader after that election, I think 1:09:23.880 --> 1:09:26.280 is one of the hardest in the country. It is 1:09:26.360 --> 1:09:30.320 particularly difficult when commentators give an opposition very little chance 1:09:30.360 --> 1:09:34.120 of winning the following election. It's even harder when the 1:09:34.240 --> 1:09:38.320 leader of an opposition that is a coalition ends up splitting. 1:09:39.000 --> 1:09:41.960 When that coalition split Sony a few days into the job. Well, 1:09:42.520 --> 1:09:44.720 hats off to Susan Lee. She has managed to bring 1:09:44.800 --> 1:09:47.880 the coalition back together and she now faces the even 1:09:47.880 --> 1:09:50.360 bigger challenge of taking on a stronger Labour Party with 1:09:50.400 --> 1:09:53.479 a bigger majority in Federal Parliament. Well today, Miss Lee 1:09:53.640 --> 1:09:56.320 has toured parts of the flood devastated Mid North Coast 1:09:56.400 --> 1:09:58.920 and Hunter Valley, which we broadcast from last week. We 1:09:59.000 --> 1:10:02.040 were broadcasting from tar last week and well done to 1:10:02.120 --> 1:10:04.559 Susan Lee for making that visit. She's in Raymond Terrace 1:10:04.560 --> 1:10:08.040 at the moment because I think what he's critical is 1:10:08.120 --> 1:10:11.479 that politicians in particular don't forget about the flood victims, 1:10:11.960 --> 1:10:14.160 and too often for us in the city, it's easy 1:10:14.320 --> 1:10:16.160 once we move on and there are other stories to 1:10:16.240 --> 1:10:19.760 talk about, it's easy to forget about the suffering that 1:10:19.880 --> 1:10:23.360 our fellow Aussies do go through in these natural disasters. 1:10:23.400 --> 1:10:26.040 And it's important for politicians to actually see the extent 1:10:26.120 --> 1:10:28.760 of damage and Susan Lee has done that today and 1:10:28.840 --> 1:10:30.439 she joins us in the program. Thank you for your 1:10:30.479 --> 1:10:30.920 time is Leu. 1:10:31.560 --> 1:10:33.519 It's opposed to Clintindent. It's great to join you and 1:10:33.720 --> 1:10:34.240 your listeners. 1:10:34.280 --> 1:10:36.040 I know you've only been the job obviously for a 1:10:36.080 --> 1:10:37.640 couple of weeks and there's been plenty of attention on 1:10:37.640 --> 1:10:39.800 the dramas that you've been dealing with. But well done 1:10:40.200 --> 1:10:43.200 for checking out what's occurred in the north of our state, 1:10:43.360 --> 1:10:45.080 in New South Wales. What have you seen today? 1:10:45.960 --> 1:10:48.880 So important that I do, and so important that everyone 1:10:48.960 --> 1:10:51.800 who has the privilege of representing any part of this 1:10:52.200 --> 1:10:55.439 great country takes the time to get out, listen, learn, 1:10:55.680 --> 1:10:59.639 understand and then advocate. So what I saw in Tari 1:11:00.600 --> 1:11:04.120 was small businesses that were just devastated. I also checked 1:11:04.120 --> 1:11:06.200 in on Port Macquarie and I'm here in Raymond Terrace, 1:11:06.280 --> 1:11:10.600 but the small business is in tai Or just overwhelmed, 1:11:10.640 --> 1:11:12.920 I have to say, and it was quite heartbreaking to 1:11:13.000 --> 1:11:16.920 listen to the stories. One business rushed everything into the loft, 1:11:17.040 --> 1:11:19.799 put everything on the second floor, and then that collapsed 1:11:19.880 --> 1:11:22.880 and so so much of their stock was just lost 1:11:22.920 --> 1:11:25.400 in the flood water. They've moved to a new premise, 1:11:25.560 --> 1:11:29.680 but of course the costs are mounting and people there 1:11:29.720 --> 1:11:31.360 don't have the money to spend that they might have 1:11:31.520 --> 1:11:33.240 because everyone's been affected by this. 1:11:33.960 --> 1:11:35.000 Is the government doing enough? 1:11:36.160 --> 1:11:38.360 Look, I don't want to point the finger needlessly at 1:11:38.360 --> 1:11:41.080 the government, but my job as opposition leader, our job 1:11:41.160 --> 1:11:43.719 as an opposition is always to hold the government to account. 1:11:44.040 --> 1:11:47.240 We have to be the strongest possible opposition to do that. 1:11:47.760 --> 1:11:51.639 There are levels of disaster recovery payment. Everyone is waiting 1:11:51.800 --> 1:11:55.600 for Grade C and D to be announced and this 1:11:55.720 --> 1:11:57.920 sort of comes and goes between the New South Wales 1:11:57.960 --> 1:12:00.760 and the federal government. And what people said to me 1:12:00.840 --> 1:12:02.800 today was, you know, we're sick of the excuse is 1:12:02.880 --> 1:12:05.320 it's these people? Know those people know we're waiting for 1:12:05.400 --> 1:12:07.800 this to happen. Can we please just get it done 1:12:08.160 --> 1:12:10.800 and get some more help because even that help isn't 1:12:10.800 --> 1:12:13.720 going to solve everyone's problems. But it's a payment, and 1:12:13.840 --> 1:12:16.280 you're a small business and you just don't know how 1:12:16.320 --> 1:12:18.400 to pay the bills that are coming into your household. 1:12:18.960 --> 1:12:21.920 This money is needed urgently. So one of the takeaways 1:12:22.000 --> 1:12:25.120 for me is to go back to the Prime Minister 1:12:25.280 --> 1:12:28.160 and his Emergency Services Minister. I'm not going to automatically 1:12:28.200 --> 1:12:29.920 assume they're doing the wrong thing, but I'm going to 1:12:29.960 --> 1:12:33.400 ask the tough questions Clinton, because these people need help. 1:12:33.840 --> 1:12:37.120 We've got newly elected Allison Pencild, she's out member of 1:12:37.200 --> 1:12:40.400 parliament there, she hasn't actually had her seat officially signed off, 1:12:40.479 --> 1:12:45.000 and she's everywhere supporting this community and working incredibly hard. 1:12:45.080 --> 1:12:47.400 And she said to me today, I'm getting pretty cranky 1:12:47.520 --> 1:12:50.200 because I need some action. And I saw that and 1:12:50.280 --> 1:12:51.160 I felt that myself. 1:12:51.720 --> 1:12:53.280 What do you think we do that long term in 1:12:53.800 --> 1:12:56.799 these areas which are prone to flood And Tari suffered 1:12:56.840 --> 1:12:58.839 floods in twenty twenty one, not on the scale of Lismall, 1:12:58.840 --> 1:13:01.400 but they did suffer floods. So many areas are going 1:13:01.439 --> 1:13:03.960 to be deemed uninsurable. Do you think we need some 1:13:04.200 --> 1:13:08.280 sort of government intervention for some particular parts of our 1:13:08.360 --> 1:13:10.400 country that are prone the natural disasters to have some 1:13:10.520 --> 1:13:11.840 sort of government insurance scheme? 1:13:13.400 --> 1:13:16.720 We need every level of government working constructivy together to 1:13:16.840 --> 1:13:18.760 do this. And I'd like to see what I saw 1:13:18.880 --> 1:13:21.680 following the Lithmore floods, which I saw soon after we 1:13:22.040 --> 1:13:25.840 came into opposition in twenty twenty two, and that is 1:13:25.880 --> 1:13:29.559 an approach by New South Wales which was under us 1:13:29.640 --> 1:13:33.400 as Liberals, that puts a fund in place, puts a 1:13:33.479 --> 1:13:36.920 process in place recognized as everyone can't automatically move back 1:13:36.960 --> 1:13:39.840 into the same location. They may not want to. It 1:13:40.000 --> 1:13:43.320 may be two flood prone for the future and actually 1:13:43.439 --> 1:13:47.519 has a well structured response and you're not simply just 1:13:48.080 --> 1:13:51.000 covering a loss and waiting for a disaster to happen again. 1:13:51.360 --> 1:13:53.240 We do have to do better. Look, I have to 1:13:53.280 --> 1:13:56.120 say that that is happening. That is the approach to 1:13:56.240 --> 1:14:00.400 natural disasters that the country is moving to with emergency management, 1:14:00.520 --> 1:14:04.080 resilience recovery. I'm always watching with all this stuff Clinton 1:14:04.080 --> 1:14:06.240 to make sure there's not too much bureaucracy and red 1:14:06.320 --> 1:14:10.080 tape tying it all up in knots. When people need help, 1:14:10.280 --> 1:14:11.200 they need it straight. 1:14:11.000 --> 1:14:13.880 Away, and we need to get beyond band aids. So 1:14:14.240 --> 1:14:17.280 on to some other issues. You have been criticized for 1:14:17.520 --> 1:14:19.920 demoting women from the right the right of the party 1:14:20.120 --> 1:14:22.920 in your shadow cabinet, in your shadow ministry if I 1:14:22.960 --> 1:14:25.160 can just deal with a couple of them. Jane Hume, 1:14:25.680 --> 1:14:28.479 did she do something to upset you? Was it the 1:14:28.520 --> 1:14:30.479 work from home policy the way she handled that during 1:14:30.520 --> 1:14:32.240 the campaign? Not at all. 1:14:32.520 --> 1:14:36.960 And she and others are enormously talented women and men 1:14:37.479 --> 1:14:39.799 in my party room, and I spoke to all fifty 1:14:39.880 --> 1:14:42.439 four of them before I announced the Shadow Ministry, and 1:14:42.520 --> 1:14:44.639 I made it clear that everyone has a role to play. 1:14:45.920 --> 1:14:48.840 She will be a Senator of Victoria going forward. Others 1:14:48.880 --> 1:14:53.479 will have carriage of policy debates and many important issues. 1:14:53.840 --> 1:14:55.880 I often say, it doesn't matter where you sit in 1:14:55.960 --> 1:14:58.160 the House of Representatives or the Senate, you can make 1:14:58.200 --> 1:14:58.719 a difference. 1:14:59.360 --> 1:15:01.839 Have you spoken do with those since she was effectively demoted, 1:15:01.840 --> 1:15:04.200 because I mean she she spoke on television late last 1:15:04.240 --> 1:15:06.439 week and says she's straightening up her tir and getting 1:15:06.439 --> 1:15:06.760 on with it. 1:15:07.760 --> 1:15:10.160 I've spoken to the colleagues many times. 1:15:10.000 --> 1:15:12.840 And not colleagues mishumeough Well, I. 1:15:12.880 --> 1:15:15.320 Certainly spoke to her and we had a detailed conversation 1:15:15.560 --> 1:15:17.639 around the time of the announcement of the Shadow Ministry, 1:15:17.680 --> 1:15:19.599 as you would expect me to do. And I spoke 1:15:19.600 --> 1:15:21.280 to her before that, and I spoke to all of 1:15:21.360 --> 1:15:24.439 the colleagues before that. And the important thing here is 1:15:24.640 --> 1:15:28.920 that I said, as opposition leader, I would do things differently. 1:15:29.439 --> 1:15:32.120 It's a new parliament, it's a new term of government. 1:15:32.760 --> 1:15:35.720 I selected a front bench to meet the challenges that 1:15:35.840 --> 1:15:38.439 we will face. But that is not in any way 1:15:38.520 --> 1:15:41.920 to take away from the skills, the talents, the tenacity 1:15:42.200 --> 1:15:45.920 of every single member of my party room. Because Clinton 1:15:45.960 --> 1:15:48.400 being in opposition, you've got to have everyone on the field. 1:15:48.840 --> 1:15:52.360 It's not a sort of hierarchical, top down exercise. We 1:15:52.520 --> 1:15:55.360 all have to listen from the glass roots up and 1:15:55.800 --> 1:15:58.640 everyone has to play their parts. But we're here to 1:15:58.720 --> 1:16:00.800 work hard for the Australian peace. Every single one of 1:16:00.880 --> 1:16:01.280 us was. 1:16:01.320 --> 1:16:03.040 Just Iner Price. I know she still has a role, 1:16:03.080 --> 1:16:05.679 but it's effectively she's been demoted to the outer ministry, 1:16:05.720 --> 1:16:08.840 out of shadow. Was she demoted to pacified nationals who 1:16:08.880 --> 1:16:10.599 were angry about her defection to the Lips? 1:16:11.280 --> 1:16:13.920 Not at all. I mean she has a really important role. 1:16:14.280 --> 1:16:17.599 She proved herself as an amazing communicator and we would 1:16:17.600 --> 1:16:20.679 all remember her during the Voice campaign. I was delighted 1:16:20.760 --> 1:16:23.200 to welcome just Center into our Liberal Party party room. 1:16:23.640 --> 1:16:26.720 She now has a role in defense industry and personnel 1:16:27.280 --> 1:16:30.759 working with Angus Taylor, and this is a critical area 1:16:30.840 --> 1:16:33.519 for this country for the future. We're not doing defense 1:16:33.600 --> 1:16:35.840 well under the Albanesi government. We have to do it 1:16:35.960 --> 1:16:41.000 better and my team, including Justina Angus phil Thompson, will 1:16:41.080 --> 1:16:44.679 actually really get this right for a future of our country. 1:16:44.880 --> 1:16:48.120 On defense, there's the story today that the Americans, through 1:16:48.200 --> 1:16:50.080 the meetings that have been conducted in Singapore, say that 1:16:50.120 --> 1:16:51.640 we should be spending three and a half percent of 1:16:51.720 --> 1:16:55.080 GDP on defense, which would be a forty billion dollar 1:16:55.120 --> 1:16:58.040 a year increase. The Prime Minister has responded to that, 1:16:58.120 --> 1:17:01.000 he's given no commitment. Should we increase spending to three 1:17:01.040 --> 1:17:02.040 point five percent GDP? 1:17:02.920 --> 1:17:05.439 We should be increasing our defense spending Clinton because people 1:17:05.640 --> 1:17:10.440 like Sarranguth Houston, who completed the Defense Strategic Review, organizations 1:17:10.600 --> 1:17:14.439 like the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, these are really, really, 1:17:14.720 --> 1:17:18.880 really smart individuals with great analytical minds. They tell us 1:17:18.960 --> 1:17:21.439 to not by the way, because the Americans tell us, 1:17:21.760 --> 1:17:24.360 but because it's in our national interest to do so, 1:17:24.920 --> 1:17:27.400 and we're not spending enough right now to defend ourselves. 1:17:28.000 --> 1:17:29.840 A couple of final questions, Ford and I appreciate your 1:17:29.840 --> 1:17:32.160 time while you're traveling through the flood zone. Raymond Terrace, 1:17:32.400 --> 1:17:35.000 I've just seen the latest information from the AEC on 1:17:35.080 --> 1:17:37.080 the count for Bradfield and just dot intrigued to know 1:17:37.160 --> 1:17:40.160 whether you've been given any further detail from the Liberal 1:17:40.280 --> 1:17:43.240 scrutinies on the ground. Gizel Cap Tiering is now behind 1:17:43.320 --> 1:17:46.840 Nicolett Bullet by twenty five votes in the recount. Do 1:17:46.920 --> 1:17:47.960 you have any further information? 1:17:49.240 --> 1:17:49.679 I don't. 1:17:49.760 --> 1:17:52.960 It's the recount that we all see at the same time. Clinton. 1:17:53.280 --> 1:17:57.559 Giselle is an outstanding candidate, a brilliant woman and would 1:17:57.600 --> 1:18:00.599 be incredibly welcome in our party room. I do hope 1:18:00.680 --> 1:18:02.559 she gets there. I have everything crossed. 1:18:02.680 --> 1:18:03.800 It's very very close. 1:18:03.800 --> 1:18:06.640 Well the Agatin the gap is actually growing. I've got 1:18:06.680 --> 1:18:08.880 to ask you this one and I can understand what 1:18:08.960 --> 1:18:11.320 your response is going to be, But are you a placeholder? 1:18:11.560 --> 1:18:14.640 I've got a message from Michael here, Michael says Susan Lee. 1:18:14.800 --> 1:18:17.240 Michael's a former Liberal voter, is going to be Australia's 1:18:17.280 --> 1:18:20.439 Liz Trusts won't be around too long and unfortunately often 1:18:20.479 --> 1:18:23.400 after big election defeats, that's what happens to some opposition leaders. 1:18:23.600 --> 1:18:25.760 Will you still be there in three years time? 1:18:26.640 --> 1:18:26.840 Yes? 1:18:26.920 --> 1:18:29.800 I will Prentident's the greatest honor of my life to 1:18:29.880 --> 1:18:32.240 have been selected in a ballot in my party room 1:18:32.280 --> 1:18:34.400 to be the leader of the Liberal Party. I've been 1:18:34.439 --> 1:18:37.720 in Parliament twenty five years and I've often been underestimated. 1:18:37.760 --> 1:18:41.120 I flew aerial mustering planes in Western Queensland in my 1:18:41.240 --> 1:18:43.000 twenties and no one thought I could do that. And 1:18:43.080 --> 1:18:45.280 I picked up eight hundred fleeces a day running up 1:18:45.280 --> 1:18:47.679 and down the board in a shed near Saint George 1:18:47.760 --> 1:18:50.840 in Western Queensland, two in forty degree heat, and no 1:18:50.880 --> 1:18:54.080 one thought I could do that. And I studied when 1:18:54.160 --> 1:18:56.560 my three children were small on the family farm and 1:18:56.760 --> 1:18:59.120 took my baby to work in a capsule so that 1:18:59.240 --> 1:19:02.280 I could get the qualifications needed to support my family. 1:19:02.880 --> 1:19:05.240 And I don't mind if people underestimate me. 1:19:05.400 --> 1:19:06.120 That's their business. 1:19:06.200 --> 1:19:08.960 I'm here to do a job, but most importantly, I'm 1:19:09.000 --> 1:19:10.519 here to do the job that we need to do. 1:19:10.760 --> 1:19:14.240 It's a tough opposition to hold the government to account 1:19:14.439 --> 1:19:18.360 and work very hard every single day for the communities 1:19:18.680 --> 1:19:20.000 like the ones I'm visiting today. 1:19:20.360 --> 1:19:22.360 I'm just getting so many questions from our listeners coming in, 1:19:22.479 --> 1:19:23.880 so I won't take out much more of your time, 1:19:23.920 --> 1:19:26.040 but cray Gas, can you ask Miss Lee about net zero? 1:19:26.120 --> 1:19:27.320 Will you cancel net zero? 1:19:28.200 --> 1:19:30.800 We have to get energy policy right. So there's two things. 1:19:31.160 --> 1:19:34.360 We have to play our part in reducing global emissions, 1:19:34.560 --> 1:19:37.040 but not at any cost and certainly not at the 1:19:37.120 --> 1:19:39.639 cost at the stable, reliable energy grid. 1:19:40.040 --> 1:19:41.640 And so when will you make a decision on that 1:19:41.760 --> 1:19:42.880 future policy for that zero. 1:19:42.960 --> 1:19:45.519 We'll take our time, we'll work through the policy. It's 1:19:45.600 --> 1:19:47.600 three years to an election, so we're going to. 1:19:47.600 --> 1:19:48.120 Get this right. 1:19:48.479 --> 1:19:50.719 Just lastly, mister Dutton, and I know you've been gracious 1:19:50.720 --> 1:19:52.679 in your praise mister Dutton throughout the last couple of weeks, 1:19:52.720 --> 1:19:55.639 but he has suffered a significant loss leading the coalition 1:19:55.760 --> 1:19:59.280 in the last month. What is one significant thing that 1:19:59.400 --> 1:20:02.040 you would do differently to Peter Dutton in the next term. 1:20:03.520 --> 1:20:05.519 We're going to have a detailed review and find out 1:20:05.680 --> 1:20:08.599 what went wrong where and how and how to do better. 1:20:08.640 --> 1:20:10.639 If I do want to say that first Clinton, because 1:20:10.640 --> 1:20:12.840 it's it's not the case that we all know the 1:20:12.920 --> 1:20:16.519 answers immediately. But I said that the modern Liberal Party 1:20:16.600 --> 1:20:20.960 needs to respect modern Australia, reflect modern Australia, and represent 1:20:21.040 --> 1:20:23.519 modern Australia. So we have to meet people where they 1:20:23.560 --> 1:20:27.000 are and everywhere I go, I talk to people, I 1:20:27.120 --> 1:20:29.920 listen to them, I ask them what they're thinking, and 1:20:30.360 --> 1:20:33.080 that feeds into the policy development, which means we will 1:20:33.080 --> 1:20:33.960 get it right next time. 1:20:34.439 --> 1:20:36.200 I hope a Liberal Party supporters give you a go. 1:20:36.320 --> 1:20:38.559 Thank you for your time, Susan, Thank you so much. 1:20:38.800 --> 1:20:41.240 Susan Lee, who is a new opposition leader. If you've 1:20:41.240 --> 1:20:43.920 got some thoughts on miss Lose so far, how she's performed, 1:20:44.000 --> 1:20:46.080 let us know one three one eight seven three twenty 1:20:46.120 --> 1:20:48.400 three past five. When you see something on Sydney's roads 1:20:48.400 --> 1:20:49.840 that we need to know about, send me a text 1:20:49.880 --> 1:20:52.160 message zero force of zero eight seven three out seven 1:20:52.200 --> 1:20:55.120 three or give me a call. Angela's done just that, Hey, Angela, 1:20:55.200 --> 1:20:55.800 what have you seen? 1:20:56.840 --> 1:21:00.840 I was just coming home from Ashfield's down the back 1:21:00.920 --> 1:21:04.280 of Enfield and I was overtaken by quite a few 1:21:05.360 --> 1:21:08.519 police cars, some undercover, and they're all heading to a 1:21:08.640 --> 1:21:13.160 street just running parallel to Coronation Parade. I think it's 1:21:13.360 --> 1:21:16.320 talin Bar Street, okay, and there's a whole congregation of 1:21:16.400 --> 1:21:18.080 them at the end of that street, just before you. 1:21:18.080 --> 1:21:19.719 Get to Georgia's with a road okay. 1:21:19.800 --> 1:21:21.120 Well, and I'm big hurry. 1:21:21.280 --> 1:21:23.680 Okay, so that's just just behind Coronation Parade, which is 1:21:23.720 --> 1:21:26.360 can be pretty busy, isn't it. That's right, So that's 1:21:26.439 --> 1:21:27.240 neither flower Power. 1:21:28.240 --> 1:21:31.120 Yeah, not far from flower Power. Okay, we'll fast flower 1:21:31.160 --> 1:21:33.599 Power when the first one overtook me. They're going down 1:21:33.640 --> 1:21:37.280 Burwood Road, just all in that area around Enfield. 1:21:37.360 --> 1:21:40.439 Oh okay, okay. My producer has just been in contact 1:21:40.479 --> 1:21:42.960 with the police. They've confirmed there is an operation now 1:21:43.040 --> 1:21:46.320 under Wayne Enfield. We don't have any more details, but 1:21:46.400 --> 1:21:48.680 obviously if there's about six police cars headed there, it's 1:21:48.960 --> 1:21:52.400 reasonably significant. So there is a police operation Underwayne Enfield. Hey, 1:21:52.400 --> 1:21:54.960 thanks letting us know about Angelo one three one eight 1:21:55.080 --> 1:21:58.480 seven three. I'm getting lots of messages still about albums 1:21:59.200 --> 1:22:01.120 that if there was one album left that you'd listen 1:22:01.200 --> 1:22:02.800 to for the rest of your life, what would it be? 1:22:03.600 --> 1:22:07.160 Because Craig Laundy just before five o'clock nominated Hot August 1:22:07.280 --> 1:22:08.880 Night from Neil Diamond. I'll come to some of your 1:22:08.920 --> 1:22:11.640 nominations a little later, but just after my discussion with 1:22:11.840 --> 1:22:16.600 Susan Lee, some feedback here from Steve. Steve, what do 1:22:16.640 --> 1:22:17.439 you make of Susan Lee? 1:22:18.600 --> 1:22:21.320 Look, I reguess she could be a good leader as 1:22:21.439 --> 1:22:24.120 long as she sticks with the liberal values as such. 1:22:25.320 --> 1:22:27.640 Are there particular policies that you think she needs to 1:22:27.640 --> 1:22:28.240 be strong. 1:22:28.040 --> 1:22:37.120 About, sorry, net hero ye, our energy supply, industrial relations. 1:22:37.840 --> 1:22:40.120 But if she wants to become a labor light and 1:22:40.200 --> 1:22:43.280 try and win the Greens votes, that she'll fail. 1:22:43.479 --> 1:22:45.760 No, and look there's no point doing that because they're 1:22:45.800 --> 1:22:48.000 not going to win the far left. But the argument 1:22:48.080 --> 1:22:50.800 is they probably need to return to the center, Matt says, 1:22:50.840 --> 1:22:52.320 and thank you if your call. Matt says. I think 1:22:52.600 --> 1:22:54.679 miss Lee needs to have a conversation with Matt Canavan 1:22:54.960 --> 1:22:57.800 about references to net zero. She does not have three years. 1:22:57.840 --> 1:23:00.160 She needs to start making your mind up now. Is 1:23:00.160 --> 1:23:02.559 in monivel get I Peter god. 1:23:02.479 --> 1:23:07.640 A, Clinton Susan unimpressed. She did nothing for James brand here. 1:23:07.720 --> 1:23:11.080 But when you were talking about workers com earlier, this 1:23:11.280 --> 1:23:13.680 is what the liberals let it go on and now 1:23:13.800 --> 1:23:17.160 labor this is federally and the state government. Every bit 1:23:17.200 --> 1:23:19.920 of super I'm a small business. Every bit of super 1:23:20.040 --> 1:23:23.400 I pay myself, and I pay my own I'm self employed, 1:23:23.760 --> 1:23:28.120 are proprietary limited. The state government classes as wages and 1:23:28.240 --> 1:23:31.840 I have to pay the I Care Arrath on. 1:23:31.960 --> 1:23:33.719 That the premium for workers comp yere. 1:23:34.160 --> 1:23:36.559 No one can get there. Why isn't she doing something 1:23:36.600 --> 1:23:38.360 about that. That's an additional cost. 1:23:38.520 --> 1:23:41.040 Well, it is and that's something that the State Liberal 1:23:41.080 --> 1:23:43.360 Party needs to start addressing. And so they've had a cabinet, 1:23:43.360 --> 1:23:45.840 a shadow cabinet meeting this afternoon and then there'll be 1:23:45.920 --> 1:23:49.800 another meeting tomorrow with the Nationals because the legislation is 1:23:49.800 --> 1:23:51.960 going to go before State Parliament this week to start 1:23:52.000 --> 1:23:53.160 trying to deal with that. But I know it's a 1:23:53.200 --> 1:23:55.720 complex issue that involves the Feds as well. Twenty six 1:23:55.760 --> 1:24:01.479 past five and Josh B with the latest Good Afternoon. 1:24:01.560 --> 1:24:05.120 Clinton WA Senator Derinda Cox has announced a surprised defection, 1:24:05.439 --> 1:24:08.680 leaving the Greens to join Labor, Prime Minister Anthony Alberanezi 1:24:08.720 --> 1:24:12.160 confirming she'll be admitted as a Labor member tomorrow. A 1:24:12.240 --> 1:24:14.760 sixth teenager has now been charged over a brawl in 1:24:14.880 --> 1:24:17.760 Sydney's North Shore last month, which left a seventeen year 1:24:17.760 --> 1:24:21.080 old with facial injuries. Doctors are issuing a fresh warning 1:24:21.120 --> 1:24:23.680 about the run at straight trend, where people run at 1:24:23.720 --> 1:24:26.559 each other at high speed to replicate high impact tackles 1:24:26.800 --> 1:24:29.320 fans were spotted taking part in the activity during the 1:24:29.360 --> 1:24:31.640 Manler game at brook Fell over the weekend, and a 1:24:31.720 --> 1:24:34.360 global study is found working with a personal trainer can 1:24:34.479 --> 1:24:36.920 have a major effect on your risk of developing a 1:24:37.080 --> 1:24:40.760 new or recurrent cancer. Researchers followed colon cancer patients for 1:24:40.840 --> 1:24:44.640 seventeen years, finding structured exercise reduced the cancer risk by 1:24:44.720 --> 1:24:48.400 twenty eight percent and also improved survival rates. In sport 1:24:48.520 --> 1:24:51.440 of huge blow for the Blues and the Warriors, confirmation 1:24:51.640 --> 1:24:54.800 prop Mitch Barnett has ruptured his ACL and will be 1:24:54.880 --> 1:24:56.000 out for the rest of the season. 1:24:56.080 --> 1:24:57.360 We'll have more news and sport at. 1:24:57.320 --> 1:24:59.920 Six fifteen degrees in the city, thirteen degrees in the west. 1:25:00.000 --> 1:25:02.760 The ferries now running on time. Yes, they've recovered after 1:25:02.840 --> 1:25:05.559 they had to slow down because of the three humpback 1:25:05.640 --> 1:25:07.280 whales that were discovered near Manly. 1:25:09.280 --> 1:25:11.120 Finance update Deaf. 1:25:11.080 --> 1:25:13.439 Night posting money news from seven o'clock tonight. Hello Dead, 1:25:13.479 --> 1:25:14.240 Hello to you Clinton. 1:25:14.320 --> 1:25:16.840 How good that we have whales frolicking in the harbor. 1:25:17.040 --> 1:25:21.240 Just phenomenon first week of winter and making their migration north. Yeah, 1:25:21.240 --> 1:25:23.599 apparently the marine biologists I Spokechs World in the programs 1:25:23.720 --> 1:25:25.479 is what they do, they pop their head in to 1:25:25.520 --> 1:25:28.479 see if it's maybe a quiet spot. So she's popped 1:25:28.479 --> 1:25:30.840 her head in, decided that this ain't quite spot. I'm 1:25:30.840 --> 1:25:31.679 going to continue north. 1:25:31.840 --> 1:25:34.720 Yeah, wise move the whale highway getting busier by the day. 1:25:34.920 --> 1:25:35.920 Have the market's fair today. 1:25:36.040 --> 1:25:36.760 The markets were. 1:25:36.680 --> 1:25:39.120 Down today off the back of the tariff announcement from 1:25:39.160 --> 1:25:43.160 Donald Trump, where he slugged the steel and aluminium imports 1:25:43.240 --> 1:25:47.479 fifty percent. The wave of tariff fear impacted markets, including 1:25:47.520 --> 1:25:50.439 our own. The ASEX two hundred started lower, it stayed there. 1:25:50.479 --> 1:25:53.280 It closed off yero point two percent, twenty points lower 1:25:53.320 --> 1:25:56.599 to eighty four hundred and fourteen. Energy was the worst sector. 1:25:56.600 --> 1:25:58.920 It was down one point four percent. The oil price 1:25:58.960 --> 1:26:02.120 also went backwards, and the tariffs didn't help our dollar either. 1:26:02.240 --> 1:26:04.679 It's dropped back from last week. It's now worth about 1:26:04.680 --> 1:26:06.439 sixty four point seven US sense. 1:26:06.720 --> 1:26:09.920 Ai US is getting serious. The Business Council released a 1:26:09.960 --> 1:26:12.400 report today on how Australia can actually make it to 1:26:12.439 --> 1:26:13.439 the top of the AI tree. 1:26:13.680 --> 1:26:17.040 H It's interesting because AI, artificial intelligence we know, is 1:26:17.160 --> 1:26:20.559 being held up as the answer to our productivity problems, 1:26:20.680 --> 1:26:23.760 the big revolution in technology that it does offer, but 1:26:23.840 --> 1:26:26.840 the business Council's warning that we need to make sure 1:26:26.880 --> 1:26:29.640 we don't bring in really tight rules and regulations. They 1:26:29.760 --> 1:26:32.000 argue that if we act out of fear, we could 1:26:32.000 --> 1:26:35.000 shut down the kind of experimentation that could fix a 1:26:35.040 --> 1:26:37.200 lot of the productivity problems that we're trying to solve 1:26:37.240 --> 1:26:40.560 in the first place. So they're warning the government to 1:26:40.840 --> 1:26:44.479 really ensure that the mandatory guard rails that they consider. 1:26:44.520 --> 1:26:46.800 Because the governments yet to make a decision on AI 1:26:47.000 --> 1:26:49.640 rules and regulations. Bear in mind that we need to 1:26:49.800 --> 1:26:52.479 ensure we don't hold business back, but we need to 1:26:52.720 --> 1:26:55.280 also regulate to some degree. We can't let it go 1:26:55.880 --> 1:26:57.479 free for all because it could lead. 1:26:57.320 --> 1:26:59.719 To other problems as well. Now this is a good topic. 1:27:00.000 --> 1:27:03.160 Imax is releasing plans to win people back to their 1:27:03.320 --> 1:27:06.640 cinemas that the big screen, because streaming services may be 1:27:06.760 --> 1:27:08.960 seeing people make a decision to stay at home rather 1:27:09.000 --> 1:27:09.840 than go to the cinema. 1:27:10.000 --> 1:27:12.160 Well, that's right, and Imax We've already got the great 1:27:12.200 --> 1:27:15.760 Imax cinema in Sydney. There's four Imax cinemas around the 1:27:15.800 --> 1:27:18.599 country already, but they want to expand it to nine 1:27:18.800 --> 1:27:20.120 by twenty twenty seven. 1:27:20.479 --> 1:27:21.240 They're not cheap. 1:27:21.280 --> 1:27:23.360 The big Imax cinemas. They're four times the size of 1:27:23.360 --> 1:27:25.559 the average cinema screen. They're about one and a half 1:27:25.600 --> 1:27:29.719 a million dollars each the Imax cinema screens. But Imax 1:27:30.200 --> 1:27:33.400 is of the view and the other rivals of the 1:27:33.479 --> 1:27:36.240 same view, heuts and village. They've also opened big screen 1:27:36.320 --> 1:27:40.320 cinemas that if you offer this big experience with big pictures, 1:27:40.439 --> 1:27:43.559 big sound, as well as the whole enticement of people, 1:27:43.920 --> 1:27:46.320 you play big dollars to see an Imax movie as well, 1:27:46.680 --> 1:27:49.040 that you'll be more likely to go along and see 1:27:49.080 --> 1:27:51.519 those blockbuster films than sit at home on the couch 1:27:51.600 --> 1:27:52.599 and watch it on the streaming side. 1:27:52.600 --> 1:27:54.280 But I guess you've got to offer something more, don't you, 1:27:54.400 --> 1:27:56.400 Because in this day and age where you've got say 1:27:56.520 --> 1:27:58.920 an eighty inch TV at home, a lot of people 1:27:58.960 --> 1:27:59.240 do these. 1:27:59.320 --> 1:27:59.519 They do. 1:27:59.760 --> 1:28:02.519 Yeah, it's enticing just to stay home. But you know, 1:28:02.920 --> 1:28:04.560 we're of the same vintage. Would recall back in the 1:28:04.600 --> 1:28:07.519 eighties when the VCR was launched, everybody said this will 1:28:07.560 --> 1:28:09.719 be the death of the cinema, and it wasn't. People 1:28:09.840 --> 1:28:12.000 still like to go out and pity the people who 1:28:12.080 --> 1:28:12.799 got the beta. 1:28:14.400 --> 1:28:14.920 Beta Max. 1:28:15.000 --> 1:28:17.200 Hey, that old debate I. 1:28:17.280 --> 1:28:18.840 Must have been. I haven't been to the movies probably 1:28:18.960 --> 1:28:22.360 for nine months or so, and I thought about taking 1:28:22.360 --> 1:28:25.000 the family a couple of weeks ago, just actually to 1:28:25.120 --> 1:28:27.400 do something on a weekend. Went through what was on. 1:28:27.760 --> 1:28:29.479 There wasn't much on, so didn't end up doing it. 1:28:29.560 --> 1:28:32.200 But I just put the ticket prices on. It was 1:28:32.240 --> 1:28:34.040 going to be more than one hundred bucks ye before 1:28:34.120 --> 1:28:35.960 popcorn and anything, just to take the three kids. And 1:28:36.040 --> 1:28:36.280 that's it. 1:28:36.439 --> 1:28:39.320 You want to ensure that it is worth the bang 1:28:39.400 --> 1:28:42.479 for the buck for the cinema experience, and Imax is 1:28:42.520 --> 1:28:45.200 hoping that they will ensure that they can get bums 1:28:45.280 --> 1:28:47.880 on seats literally, because people going to cinemas is on 1:28:47.960 --> 1:28:50.360 the decline, not just here in Australia but all around 1:28:50.360 --> 1:28:50.639 the world. 1:28:51.040 --> 1:28:55.760 Imax Formula one movie is being released this month. I'm 1:28:55.800 --> 1:28:57.000 going to go to see that on Imax. 1:28:57.120 --> 1:28:57.320 Yeah. 1:28:57.360 --> 1:28:57.720 Good one. 1:28:58.040 --> 1:29:00.400 Dead Night will be hosting money News from seven tonight.

And he's still available for the red ball. 1:31:52.840 --> 1:31:55.640 But unfortunately I think that boat sailed. But we might 1:31:55.680 --> 1:31:58.120 still see him at the two twenty World Cup next year. 1:31:58.120 --> 1:32:00.320 Buddy, Yeah, I'd say, Sony, you keep playing on ID 1:32:00.320 --> 1:32:02.160 because that's w all the money is. Very late last 1:32:02.240 --> 1:32:04.519 night I received the text message from our colleague John 1:32:04.520 --> 1:32:06.960 Stanley from the Night Show here and he said he 1:32:07.080 --> 1:32:09.320 said to me, I think in jest, there's nothing on TV. 1:32:09.600 --> 1:32:13.160 Will he miss this drama? Everywhere you look? No dramas 1:32:13.360 --> 1:32:16.880 for Oscar Piastre, who wins his fifth Grand Prix. The 1:32:17.040 --> 1:32:21.880 year Tiastre takes the Spanish Grand Prix. It's a McClaren 1:32:21.960 --> 1:32:22.639 one too. 1:32:23.000 --> 1:32:26.519 We executed everything we needed to today. A great start, 1:32:27.240 --> 1:32:29.720 that's the first hit. Well, good pit stops, stuck to 1:32:29.800 --> 1:32:34.639 our guns on our strategy and yeah, and we executed 1:32:34.840 --> 1:32:36.439 it was pretty much perfectly. 1:32:36.760 --> 1:32:41.040 That is Oscar Piastre. He is potentially our next world champion. 1:32:41.080 --> 1:32:41.720 I reckonem Jay. 1:32:42.360 --> 1:32:45.800 I think he's just a joy to watch and enjoy. 1:32:46.280 --> 1:32:48.680 Here is very humble young man. And so that's his 1:32:48.800 --> 1:32:51.000 fifth for the year. Where is that compared to some 1:32:51.120 --> 1:32:53.960 of our great Joneses and the Mark Webbers and. 1:32:54.520 --> 1:32:56.599 He so he's now right one a total of seven 1:32:56.680 --> 1:33:00.200 Grand Prix. I think he's one behind Daniel Ricardo, two 1:33:00.600 --> 1:33:03.080 or three behind Mark Webber, who's his manager. But if 1:33:03.280 --> 1:33:06.639 you compare it to previous Australian World champions, the only 1:33:06.680 --> 1:33:09.000 other Australians who have won five GPS in the year 1:33:09.240 --> 1:33:11.880 were Alan Jones and Jack Brabham, both won the World 1:33:11.960 --> 1:33:13.160 Championships in those years. 1:33:13.800 --> 1:33:17.040 Oh yeah, he'sad what is he? Jesus? He's a breath 1:33:17.040 --> 1:33:18.120 of fresh areas and there I love him. 1:33:18.840 --> 1:33:20.759 You know, I'm quite a fan of the sports market. 1:33:21.000 --> 1:33:23.240 What jumps out about this bloke is how cool he 1:33:23.400 --> 1:33:25.519 is and calm. He doesn't ever react and where that's 1:33:25.560 --> 1:33:27.439 critical is because where they get it under a lot 1:33:27.479 --> 1:33:30.559 of pressure, you keep your head well, then you perform well. Now, 1:33:30.880 --> 1:33:34.120 his main opponents within his team Lando Norris, who's actually 1:33:34.160 --> 1:33:36.760 prone to making mistakes. The other bloke is the four 1:33:36.840 --> 1:33:39.120 time world champion Max Verstappen. 1:33:38.680 --> 1:33:40.479 The Dutchess at one point one point. 1:33:40.600 --> 1:33:44.439 Well so Max Verstappan, he was playing, he was playing 1:33:44.520 --> 1:33:46.639 roller derby out there. He thought he was in Dodger cast. 1:33:47.880 --> 1:33:49.759 He thought it was in Happy Day as the Malachi Crunch. 1:33:50.400 --> 1:33:52.920 Hey, just before I get onto a big drama you're 1:33:52.920 --> 1:33:55.639 facing at the moment, Kerry asked an interesting question here 1:33:56.200 --> 1:33:58.680 on the text line MG. She is saying, is it 1:33:58.840 --> 1:34:02.240 fair that Lockie Galve is able to accrue dally end 1:34:02.280 --> 1:34:05.200 points when he played for the Tigers and given they 1:34:05.240 --> 1:34:08.360 were lowered down the ladder with probably fewer star plays, 1:34:08.400 --> 1:34:10.000 he might have been gathering a lot of points and 1:34:10.040 --> 1:34:11.800 then goes to the Bulldogs where he's playing in a 1:34:11.840 --> 1:34:14.519 star studded team that's the top. Is that all fair? 1:34:15.520 --> 1:34:15.640 All? 1:34:15.680 --> 1:34:18.599 Look when we go to the Bulldogs, as you say, 1:34:18.920 --> 1:34:22.600 as Kerry says, it's a star started team, so points 1:34:22.600 --> 1:34:24.639 will be a lot harder to get for him because 1:34:24.680 --> 1:34:26.880 he's got you know, five or six other blocks in 1:34:26.920 --> 1:34:29.640 the team who were high calmer. 1:34:29.320 --> 1:34:31.920 Than it might be hard to make it might be 1:34:32.000 --> 1:34:34.120 hard to win win points playing for the Dogs. 1:34:35.200 --> 1:34:37.479 Did you see the subtle swipe he had a Benji 1:34:37.520 --> 1:34:39.160 and the Tigers on his interview? 1:34:39.400 --> 1:34:43.080 I did, oh, just for those Tigers fans put in 1:34:43.200 --> 1:34:43.519 the bank. 1:34:44.000 --> 1:34:47.479 Around twenty two, Tigers take on the Bulldogs at Kombank Stadium. 1:34:47.600 --> 1:34:48.800 Do you know what stuck out of me with the 1:34:48.880 --> 1:34:52.240 interview that he did for the Bulldog's website? Exac cut 1:34:52.680 --> 1:34:54.800 goodness me, it looked like Jim Carey had a dumb 1:34:54.840 --> 1:34:57.840 and dumber. Well, he's on seven hundred and fifty thousand 1:34:57.880 --> 1:34:59.280 a year. You think he could afford a barber? 1:35:01.000 --> 1:35:02.879 Oh, hello, are you going to Austria? 1:35:03.000 --> 1:35:05.800 It's not a good look. Serious like he's got a 1:35:05.840 --> 1:35:08.360 great he's got great parents, mom, dad. 1:35:08.720 --> 1:35:12.320 Yeah, that's a look. At these days that all happens 1:35:12.320 --> 1:35:13.479 at the back, nothing at the front. 1:35:13.560 --> 1:35:15.920 Now, I'm very concerned. MG, you're not feeling too well. 1:35:16.560 --> 1:35:18.280 May I'm like half of Sydney at the moment.

He would have to be Rumors by 1:41:32.800 --> 1:41:48.760 Fleetwood Mac. Oh good suggestion. Mark Rumor is probably the 1:41:49.080 --> 1:41:54.880 biggest Fleetwood Mac album of all time.
