They gave me all the treatment. 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:51.320 They looked after me like a bloody king, and all 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:54.640 the nurses running around, cracking joke for them and breaking 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:59.640 free cups of seir.

How are you feeling great? 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:08.640 Great? Feel fantastic? So this this is this new trial 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:12.280 program where they've got a mixture of chemo with something else. 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:14.080 You know, they just give you a needle in the stomach. 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:16.800 Only on the fourth day and the eighth day and 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:19.680 the rest of the days you take pills and eat 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:23.120 the free food and get the free coffee and check 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:26.440 out all the good looking nurses.

When I came out, I 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:37.120 did a a half hour show with spread from Africa. 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:42.000 I came out in two thousand, November two thousand, and 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:45.200 I tied him. Then the biggest problem is going to 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:47.440 be drugs in the bloody thing, because you could see 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:50.720 it right in the system and there was no she 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:53.480 can't never had a fence round up there. There was 0:07:53.560 --> 0:08:00.040 quite huge for people to have just dropped bloody. So 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:03.040 I went out one day. I was out near the 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:07.920 Servantine road and there was this big silver package right 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:11.080 elf squoiled and I picked it up with impressed cannibate. 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:13.320 I put it back again and I went back in 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:15.480 and Aline said, did you report it? I said, do 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:17.680 you know how long I'd last if I reported that? 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:22.360 It's an interesting observation, Graham, thank you for that. We'll 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:24.040 leave you there, except to say I heard on three 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:28.880 ow Roger that there was inside the culture of say prisons, 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:32.600 for example, there was a level of satisfaction with those 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:37.560 if certain medications, drugs if you like, were available, because 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:41.720 then there was no there was less damage and violence 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:44.560 in the prison. I've got no doubt. And so there 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:47.600 was this mixed emotion about it. Whilst it's wrongs is illegal. 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:50.320 You and I say, well, why would you? The reality 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:52.720 is it was a way of keeping a little bit 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:53.200 of peace and. 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:55.880 Kept order, that kept order, that kept order. Yeah, it 0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:57.000 just keeps a bit of order. 0:08:57.679 --> 0:08:59.600 Chears when we come back here, we want to talk 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:02.200 about given them.

I'm going back into 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:24.959 the Fold at Victoria Police which has taken quite a 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:26.959 bit for me to do, but I've been invited to 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:30.800 go and speak at the Women in Policing events and 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:36.040 I'm just so looking forward to doing this because women 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:39.240 do shift work a lot harder, or females do shift 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:43.160 work a lot harder than males do, and I focus 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:46.719 predominantly on females and helping them with shift work. I'm 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:49.160 well read in that area. Once again, I'll never know 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:53.000 what it's like, but I study it pretty hard, and 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:55.719 I'm going to go and help and educate at the 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:58.400 Women in Policing about how females can go about doing 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:01.040 shift work a lot better on I'm actually I'm nervous, 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:03.200 but I'm really excited about it, which is fantastic. 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:07.000 Is it about the people themselves or is it about 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:11.439 the leadership group that you've also got to embrace and 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:13.880 they need to embrace some of those things about which 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:15.200 you've been talking now. 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:18.599 For at least a couple of years. The leadership is 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:24.040 something that what I'm trying to do is bring brand awareness, 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:29.520 bring my awareness, because managers don't know that I exist. 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:31.800 If people don't put it up to say, you know, 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:33.800 we've got a blokeout here that's done forty years a 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:37.120 shift work that is actually educating on how to go 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:41.000 about shift work. Organizations, not just fit Pole, but I'm 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:45.040 talking all organizations, nursing and everything don't educate their staff 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:48.959 at all about how to go about shift work when 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:51.120 they should when they should sleep, and then they don't 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:55.440 actually consolidated. Everyone just learns from one thing to the next. 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:58.480 So what I'm trying to do is change that. I 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:01.280 want people to be educated on how to go about 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:04.800 doing shift work because I can tell you Tony now, 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:08.240 the seminars the feedback, but just been invited back to 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:11.640 Port Fairy to go back and do a seminar down 0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:14.560 there at sun Farmer. The feedback out of that has 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:20.079 been absolutely unbelievable. The unplanned leavers reduced, the morale is 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:22.520 improved in the place. People have all said, I had 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:24.640 no idea I could do it this way and it 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:27.920 would be so much easier, and they are all coping 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:31.040 so much better in that. So historically it hasn't been 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:33.000 addressed at all at all, at all. 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:36.880 No, No, it's such an important part of Australian culture 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:37.920 and Australian work life. 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:40.680 If I saved one ship, if I was to save 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:44.560 one shift worker for vic Pole. It would save them 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:48.520 one hundred thousand dollars right because they it's that year's salary. 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:51.120 They wouldn't have to re educate, they wouldn't have to 0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:55.280 retrain do everything else. But and yet when I tell 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:57.640 them what my seminars were, Oh, it's too expensive, coach, 0:12:58.040 --> 0:12:59.679 I think, are you kidding? You haven't got a budget 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:01.319 for them. We haven't got the budget for that. But 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:03.920 and the you know, Big Pole have closed down health 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:06.000 and well being centers now as well, which has been 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:08.520 public You know, they're closing their health and well being centers. 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:11.720 So are we really caring about our people? We've got 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:14.960 to start well. One of the principles of vick Pole 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:17.440 is valuing our people. How are we valuing them if 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:20.360 we're not supporting them and educating them on how to 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:23.800 go about it from from womb to too in that sense? 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:29.920 Really David and Matt Waverley, Hello, good morning. It was 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:33.080 very very funny about the story of Grumpy Tony. It'll 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:34.440 never get in the airplane, but it's. 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:35.120 Very very clever. 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:38.599 It's very clever, so I hope you like it. I 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:45.079 can consider it a birthday present. Thank you. Now, I 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:50.719 rang to say, yes, I came down at the showgrounds 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:53.360 for three days to get kiss tickets. 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:57.760 I can understand that. Do you remember, have you still 0:13:57.800 --> 0:13:58.720 got your ticket? David? 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:01.680 Yes, I do, see my friends, but. 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:05.200 I've still got my ticket. I still have my ticket. 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:07.880 Unfortunately it doesn't have the price on it, which I 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:10.240 wish it did. Were any idea what they would have been? 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:12.959 I reckon it was. I think from memory and you 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:17.080 can tell me, David. Would it have been nineteen dollars? 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:21.600 I got a film? How much twenty twenty, nineteen ninety 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:23.360 or something like that? It was twenty bucks? Yeah, for 0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:26.880 the ticket and we all camp down. We all camped 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:29.720 out for days to get the tickets, and then we 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:33.360 had to camp out again. We had to camp out 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:36.160 again to actually get in because it was general admission. 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:38.080 Do you remember how hot it was? And the food fight. 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:41.040 It was horrible? 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:43.640 It was and they were throwing ice buckets all over 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:47.080 the people standing there, and the food fight once you 0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:49.480 got inside it was it was actually you can go 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:52.680 YouTube that if your YouTube food fight Waverly Park kids, 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:55.320 it comes up. It's unbelievable food fight. 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:58.880 And then the MT comes out and says, you idiots, 0:14:58.960 --> 0:14:59.960 you need to come down. 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:05.960 Yeah, otherwise kiss aren't coming out. So let me just done. 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:08.760 I'm talking to her brother. Go anywhere. 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:11.760 Just explained to we was somebody who was not there 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:16.080 around Australia. What happens at a food fight? People were 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:19.680 leaving anything. I don't happen how it started. The stupid 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:22.160 thing was we went to hide behind one of the cops. 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:26.360 Don't do that. Don't ever hide behind the cops because 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:29.320 they're the ones that have been having the food thrown 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:38.000 at them. Such such fun someone educated at sixteen and 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:40.040 someone else has put a text up here as well. 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:45.480 David Steve from North Kid. I camped there on the Wednesday, 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:48.680 on the wednesdays. Now it was on Saturday night the show, 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:51.280 and I was there from the friday. He was already 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:53.640 there two days before me. Now he would be one 0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:55.720 of the people that was burning the pine poles to 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:58.600 keep warm as well overnight. That went really well, David 0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:03.200 se Aarnie, Morning, mister Miaggi. 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:08.480 Good morning, Tony Roger and Action Jackson. Now you mentioned 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:11.360 B twenty four mile ladder, answer it or for later on? 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:15.600 Well, the question was going to be how did D 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:17.720 twenty four get its name? So go ahead. 0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:20.240 I don't know how I've got his name, but I 0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:22.480 went now with a few cops. I believe it was 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:26.120 D twenty four, which is a communications line to call 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:29.400 the police, and it was a quicker response to VKC. 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:32.640 Yeah, yeah, okay. So D twenty four is the nickname 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:36.200 that's given to the communications center. I want to challenge 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:38.800 anybody out there, do you know why it is called 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:41.120 D twenty four. It's only called D twenty four here 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:46.160 in Victoriaia, in not interstate, so unfortunately we'll rule the 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:48.760 South Australians and the West Australians out put. Would they 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:50.400 have their own version? They don't have a detail. I 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:53.920 don't know. Maybe they do, they are It's always VKC 0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:57.600 is the allocated call signed by the Department of Communications. 0:16:57.640 --> 0:17:02.160 So they say VKC. This is VKC two know the 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:06.600 mulven Van or VKC two whatever. But their nickname is 0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:09.080 D twenty four. How did they earn that nickname? Why 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:11.520 did they earn that nickname? I want to hear from someone. 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:14.160 Anybody happened to be listening in South Australia. My great 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:18.280 friend Peter Graham was a long serving commission towards the end. 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:22.480 And I'm sure he worked in comms in South Australia 0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:24.280 going back to the early part of the eighties as well, 0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:29.240 and I'm sure he would be he'd know what nicknames 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:30.760 there in that state. 0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:34.840 Because even he, even the junior bundies that would have 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:37.280 no idea probably why D twenty four is called D 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:40.560 twenty four, would still say get onto the board or 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:41.720 get onto D twenty four. 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:44.879 Former Commissioner of course in the wa Carlo Callahan, who 0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:47.879 did a lot of workout six PR in Perth, might 0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:49.680 be listening as well. He'd have some background on some 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:51.360 of those names in wa. 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:54.159 Ardie, thank you. In Elfington, Hello Simon. 0:17:55.119 --> 0:18:00.159 Bill Guys. I'm just looking at what's going on in 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:04.720 America with companies falling into marines and all that sort 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:08.560 of stuff. I hope we never get to that stage here. 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:13.320 But I look at the bigions of dollars that are 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:17.760 being wasted in Victoria. Why don't we just double the 0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:20.800 wages of the police force and bring. 0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:27.520 In some really top kids two protect the state and 0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:31.320 stop all the clime and make it worthwhile. Give them 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:32.800 a free education if they. 0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:34.240 Want, you know, to go to UNI. 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:39.399 Just offer them some incentives to be a police and. 0:18:41.119 --> 0:18:42.639 Climb enforcement officer. 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:46.440 Yep, I couldn't agree more. But simon, I think we're 0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:49.520 not addressing it right that banning machetes makes it a 0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:53.280 retail problem. This is not a retail Yeah, it's not. 0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:56.160 You and I've talked about this. It's not. So why 0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:56.520 is it? 0:18:56.760 --> 0:18:59.320 Why is it being from a government point of view, 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:02.040 from a government position of sort of saying the answer 0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:03.920 to this is, let's ban machete. 0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:06.720 Well, we banned guns work, does it? We banned guns 0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:08.639 and people still have guns. Yeah, but guns don't kill 0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:11.119 people and machetes don't kill people. Now you're sounding like 0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:14.600 somebody in in the middle of America. No, but guns 0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:17.200 don't kill people. It's the it's the person that's holding 0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:20.520 onto it, right, And that's what's got to be addressed. 0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:24.159 In my opinion, we have to address that. We have 0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:27.720 to address where these issues are coming from. You can't. 0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:29.440 I mean, guns are banned, you're not allowed to have 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:32.600 a gun. But people have guns and they kill because 0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:36.240 the person pulls the trigger. Machete is a band now, 0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:39.400 but machetes are still turning up and they will continue 0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:41.520 to turn up because we're not addressing. 0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:44.119 The real problem. Well on Tom Elliott's program took some 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:46.080 phone calls. I think either earlier this week or late 0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:47.600 last week. I was listening on the way home from 0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:50.320 somewhere and lots of people saying, oh heah, the readily available. 0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:53.280 Still you can go online and buy it. It's taken 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:57.160 Amazon two weeks to decide we won't import them into 0:19:57.200 --> 0:19:59.679 Australia anymore. But people are still going to have them, 0:19:59.720 --> 0:20:01.280
