Winter is in full force for 0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:52.519 many parts of our great country today. There's been up 0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:54.680 to seven inches of snow and some of the key 0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:57.160 resorts in the last twenty four hours and we've got 0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:00.920 single digit tops I say single digit diet to tops, 0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:03.840 even in Canberra and for Sydney in the mid teens. 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:07.640 That's where we find ourselves today. There's a sheep gravti 0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:11.000 is warning for cold tempts, rain and showers westerly winds 0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:14.280 expected during today and tomorrow, with areas likely to be 0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:17.200 affected including large parts of New South Wales and the 0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:21.560 acteat even extends even extends to parts of the mid 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:25.640 North Coast, the Hunter even the Illawarra and South Coast 0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:29.840 forecast districts. There is that risk of loss of lamb 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:34.800 and sheep exposed to these conditions. It's it's winter in Australia. 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:37.600 Rug up in those areas, or get yourself to Queensland 0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:41.319 Brisbane today sunny and twenty three. Now allow me, if 0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:43.680 you will, to break with what is normal on this 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:48.279 show by speaking to a distinguished guest on this King's 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:51.600 Birthday long weekend in many states and territories, except notably 0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:55.440 Queensland and w Way. For my Sydney listeners and those 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:58.600 visiting the Harbour City, a wonderful event that is a 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:02.360 must I reckon today. Everyone's invited to come to Government 0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:06.800 House as the Governor marks the King's Birthday at Sydney's 0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:09.800 Castle by the Harbor. The event is on from ten 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:14.240 this morning until three this afternoon and importantly entry is 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:17.560 free of charge. But as you'd understand, there's no parking 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:21.520 on site, so probably public transport is your friend here. Now, 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:24.280 amongst other things, you can enjoy the music of the 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:28.720 Australian Army Band, you can explore the spectacular state rooms, 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:34.079 even see the dining table dressed for a vice regal occasion. 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:37.640 And you can have a picnic in the gardens. How wonderful. 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:40.799 So who best to talk about the King's birthday at 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:43.320 the house. Let me say a very good morning to 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:47.799 her excellency, the Honorable Margaret Beasley, Governor of New South Wales, 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:50.680 who is on the line. Governor. An honor to be 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:52.240 speaking to you today. I hope you. 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:57.840 Will good morning, Luke, very well and really excited to 0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:02.200 see welcoming everybody who wants to become the Government House 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:04.280 today because it'll be a beautiful day. 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:04.880 It will. 0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:08.640 I've been out and I've looked at the harbor, the 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:12.920 sun of sparkling of the waters. It is a little crisp. 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:17.840 So the best advice is certainly to rug up, but 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:21.480 can't have a picnic in the gardens. It's just a wonderful. 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:24.160 Day, a wonderful opportunity for people to see the castle 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:26.680 by the harbor close up with their very whole knives, 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:30.960 and the history is remarkable. This is your official residence 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:34.040 and office. You're the twenty eighth governor to occupy this 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:37.000 Government House. You've been governor I think since May and 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:40.080 twenty nineteen in the sixties, you've been there. I'm sure 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:42.720 you have a favorite place, do you in the house 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:46.120 to unwind, or perhaps a view you never get tired of. 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:50.760 It's got to be the morning view, Luke. It's just beautiful. 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:54.400 I'm very fortunate that the residents, which I have to 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:57.560 assure people, does not look like the state rooms. So 0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:01.160 the staterooms are something else to be seen. But the 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:04.400 residents still look out to the east and so every 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:06.720 morning that's some comes up round about five five point 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:08.440 thirty and it is spectacular. 0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:11.480 Yeah, the history is fascinating. In seventeen eighty eight, the 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:14.360 first Governor of the Colony of New South Wales, Arthur 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:17.880 philippilaid the foundations of the first government House. I think 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:22.400 the building located then in Bridge Street. In eighteen thirty six, 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:26.080 construction finally began on a new government house. The new 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:30.080 building influenced in its location and architectural style by the 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:34.160 existing Governor's stables. They were completed in eighteen twenty one. 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:39.920 Now the Conservatorium of Music, Locally quarried sandstone was used 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:44.600 for the construction. It was designed by Edward Blow, architect 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:48.440 to William the fourth and Queen Victoria. He'd recently built 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:50.839 the British Houses of Parliament, so there's a kind of 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:56.040 a unity in design there. And after years of delay, 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:58.839 really in budget over runs, the house was completed in 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:02.159 eighteen forty five and that's when Governor Sir George Gibbs, 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:04.720 the ninth Governor of the state, and his wife took 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:08.479 up residents. Now, of course it's been extended, refurbished and 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:11.359 the like. But today I'm right, Governor right, I'm saying 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:15.520 it holds a significant collection of portraits and furniture and 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:18.400 decorative arts and memorabilia as a result of the vice 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:20.479 regal patronage. That's true, isn't it? 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:25.960 Certainly? And indeed the portraits are very interesting. They're big, 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:30.960 and they're old, and they line the hallway. But we 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:34.440 are the only government house in Australia that has a 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:39.719 portrait of every governor since seventeen eighty eight, and that 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:42.320 in itself is very interesting. But it also in many 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:46.000 ways tells you part of the history of not only 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:50.120 the House, but indeed of the of the State of 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:53.039 New South Wales. Has it been developed and of course 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:57.000 became part of the Commonwealth, so it is very interesting 0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.760 and we use the portraits our guides here. I have 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:03.960 to tell your listeners are just wonderful, and they're wonderful 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:07.200 and they're friendly and they're inderformative and they often use 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:10.880 the portraits to tell a particular part of the history, 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:14.320 not only of the house but of New South Wales generally. 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:18.960 Yeah, you mentioned for listeners potentially going along to enjoy 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:21.640 the gardens with a picnic. There'll be the Australian Army 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:24.640 Band there. I'll played midday one and a two pm. 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:30.720 State rooms will be open for expiration slash inspection and 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:34.719 the dining table dressed for a vice regal occasion I 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:38.720 can only imagine, but there will also be guide dog 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:42.520 handlers and the like. There's a two meter kings Cipher. 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:46.160 People are encouraged to take a selfie there and the 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:50.000 garden sculpture walk, so there's plenty of things for people 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:54.040 to do and they're entitled to bring their telephones in 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:56.560 which there'll be a camera, no doubt. Plenty of long 0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:57.920 lasting memories. 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:00.280 Absolutely, and that's the way we like to share the 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:05.799 house with everybody. So these days are wonderful in any ways, 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:10.040 an extension of our first Sunday of the month Jazz Days, 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:14.160 when we have our various bands again playing sets from twelve, 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:16.200 one and two and we invite people in and have 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:18.760 a picnic. You don't have to book, you don't have 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:22.280 to pay, obviously, but this is just a little more 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:25.960 special today with particularly I think with the guide dogs. 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:29.320 I expect that we'll have today not guide dogs, but 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:33.560 the companion dogs who are also trained by our guide 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:37.640 Dogs Missus Wales. And it's just beautiful to see the 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:40.240 way that the dogs are handled and to see that 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:42.440 the benefit that they give to people in the community. 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:45.720 Yeah, you're right, Governor. Thank you for sharing Government House 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:48.120 with the people and all the best for what lives ahead, 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:50.040 and thanks for everything you do. And in order to 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:51.640 talk to you, thank you. 0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:53.720 But look, I need to know when you're coming back. 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:55.600 You haven't been here since starting seventy seven. 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:01.520 Well, if I got if the Boss is listening, and 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:03.240 you could give me a little early mark, I'd be 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:05.200 delighted to come and see you today. But I'll make 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:08.040 that a priority for later in the year, no doubt.

He warned there would be quote serious 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:40.080 consequences unquote if mister Musk financed candidates to run against 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:44.959 Republicans who voted in favor of the President's domestic policy bill. 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:49.640 Now to phone interview with the NBC journalist Kristen Welker, 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:53.240 Trump said he had no plans to speak with Musk, 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:57.720 calling the tech billionaire disrespectful to the office of president. 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:01.680 When asked whether he had any desire to repair the relationship, 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:05.160 he said no. Trump's of at a range of views 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:09.520 in his conversations over the past days. In some Trump 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:14.480 has described Musk as somebody who's gone crazy. In others, 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:18.960 he's expressed sympathy, as if mister Musk were a wayward sun. 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:22.600 He's told associates that Musk is out of his mind 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.880 on drugs, but at other times he said he wishes 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:29.319 him well and has seemed to leave open the possibility 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:34.479 of reconciliation. He's also dangled the threat of canceling contracts 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:39.120 that Musk's companies have with the federal government. Now, behind 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:41.320 the scenes, people close to both men have tried to 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:44.640 brocrade Detonte, and there have been some signs of a 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:49.120 de escalation. Musk has deleted some of his most incendiary 0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:53.240 social media posts, and Trump has been more restrained by 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:57.720 his standards. Advisers to Trump say they think the relationship 0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:00.959 will never be the same again. Have to be too bright, 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:03.160 do you to think that is a likely outcome? 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:03.360 Here? 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:08.679 To be Frank, what a cluster? Musk on the show today, 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:11.280 what a treat Today on the Sunday Sweet leading child 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:13.960 psychologist Claire Rowe will join me in the studio. There's 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:19.040 lots to talk about. Australia's foremost gender medicine expert and 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:22.320 the lead author of the nation's guidelines on gender affirming care, 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:26.720 Michelle Telfer, was excoriated by a family called judge for 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:29.280 giving this leading evidence in support of a mother who 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:33.080 wanted her child to be prescribed puberty blockers. Now that's 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:37.000 Judge Andrew Strum, who stripped the mother of custody and 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:41.120 effectively blocked the twelve year old from accessing treatment. Criticized 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:43.720 the Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne for failing to give the 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:49.080 child a former gender dysphoria diagnosis until the court proceedings 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:53.200 had commenced, despite having treated the child for six years. Hello. 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:57.840 Also of note, a Monrash University study has found that 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:00.240 fewer than one in five students who experience in his 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:04.440 family violence disclosed it to a teacher or school counsel law, 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:08.800 with more skipping school or becoming fearful of authority figures 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:12.960 with detrimental effects. Many of the more than sixteen hundred 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:16.880 and fifty young people surveyed who'd experienced domestic and family 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:21.240 violence said school was a place to avoid, with some 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:25.920 dropping out entirely or regularly skipping class, reporting they would 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:28.640 stay home to protect their parents. Can you believe that 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:33.680 feed someone noticing bruises were unable to concentrate due to 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:37.040 being kept up by fighting or at lost friendships at school. 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:39.720 That to me is so sad. I'll also ask Claire 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:43.120 how a child psychologist might sort out and me call 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:47.640 it again cluster Musk. Now, on Sundays we put these 0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:51.320 spotlight on an ordinary osti who's achieved extraordinary things. And 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:53.760 today we have a ripper, well, look to be frank. 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:55.800 Every week we have a ripper, but a blow called 0:15:56.160 --> 0:16:00.680 Andy Sishn. Not a household name, but he's with plenty 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:03.640 of them. He's a bass guitarist. He toured with some 0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:05.880 of the biggest names in music. We're talking the likes 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:11.520 of Shania Twain, Billy Thorpe, Rose Tattoo Hello, currently playing 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:15.040 his trade with the one and only Billy Joel Hello, 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:18.600 who we know hasn't been too well of late. We 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:21.720 actually became aware of Andy after a listener a made 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:23.600 of Andy's called in to tell us that Billy was 0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:26.080 not in a good way when we wondered how genuine 0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:29.280 the original story was, so we wanted to find out 0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:32.400 more about Andy's story. He's got plenty of stories, and 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:35.640 he'll talk to me from New York City and tell 0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:40.560 me about life as Andy seeshon. We have been mentioning 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:44.080 over the past few weeks these reports about people experiencing 0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:47.680 side effects after taking this a zembic medication. It's a 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:50.800 weight loss thing and Andy diabetes thing. I told you 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:53.560 last week of the story that claimed o zembic when 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:57.640 jarro We guvey they're all similar medications had caused drug 0:16:57.640 --> 0:17:01.600 induced teppatitis in some patients. Now, the link between ozenpic 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:05.400 and hepatitis isn't clearly established at this stage. However, some 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:09.640 studies are suggesting it may cause potential liver stress or damage, 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:14.000 and medical experts are saying some patients should get regular checkups. 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:17.399 And this followed a story from a fortnight ago claiming 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:21.080 a number of people on these medications were suffering from 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:25.920 my disorders. The TGAID received ten reports of sudden vision 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:29.560 loss caused by this got to be confirmed, with eight 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:33.760 suffering full or partial blindness, two experiencing vision loss in 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:37.520 one eye. Now, as I've said about this on multiple occasions, 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:39.840 I'm not giving you any sort of advice. I'm not 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:42.840 a doctor, but you probably have a doctor or a 0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:45.760 pharmacist and that's a matter for you and him or 0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:49.040 her or them or of course it's twenty twenty five 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:52.960 it I don't want to suggest he shouldn't take the medication. 0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:56.200 Absolutely not. It's undeniably done a lot of good for many. 0:17:56.800 --> 0:17:58.920 But a show like this has a well I think 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:04.560 of responsibility to discuss with experts whether potential users should 0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:08.560 see these reports and take them seriously. So the chair 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:12.800 of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners Specific Interests 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:17.120 Diabetes Group, doctor Gary Dead, will walk us through all 0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:19.720 of this. Stephen Fennick will join me to talk about 0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:22.160 tech in our second hour. He'll walk us through Tells 0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:25.560 to his new satellite messaging service, now available for tell 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:29.000 Us to customers on a month to month's mobile plan. Initially, 0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:32.240 it will only work with a device from the Samsung 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:35.440 Galaxy S twenty five series, but it's believed to also 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:39.480 work with iPhone fourteen in the next few days. Stephen 0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:42.520 with all the details soon. Jim Haynes in our last 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:48.000 hour reminiscing about old Australian movies. We are genuine trailblazers, 0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:51.200 it must be said our quiz. All the breaking news 0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:53.359 and again plenty of time to talk to you. The 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:55.720 open line one three one eight seven three, the text 0:18:56.160 --> 0:18:59.480 zero four six zero eight seven three eight seven three 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:02.600 and you can email me at TWOGB dot com, FOURBC 0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:06.920 dot com dot au. So that's what we have for 0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:10.760 you today. Thirteen degrees in Sydney right now, eighteen in Brisbane. 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:25.720 This is weekends with Luke Grant on two GBN four BC. Alrighty, 0:19:25.800 --> 0:19:30.200 plenty of texts. Thank you for those who said global warming? 0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:33.680 What are a load of hogwash? It's called living in Australia. Whatever. 0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:37.800 Thank you, Ronda, thanks very much for your note and 0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:42.119 another saying Luke it was March nineteen seventy seven. The 0:19:42.160 --> 0:19:45.280 Queen was here part of a silver jubilee. Amazing that 0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:48.720 she lived another forty five years to celebrate seventy years. 0:19:49.119 --> 0:19:52.119 She died on my seventieth birthday? Is that right? Ross? 0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:55.480 I will always remember that date, of course you will. 0:19:55.520 --> 0:19:58.520 Thank you Roz for getting in touch. Now. A housing 0:19:58.640 --> 0:20:02.240 crisis update on the the Sabbath courtesy of the Telegraph. Today, 0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:05.720 they say the answer to Sydney's housing crisis could be 0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:09.200 found in divine intervention. Look this will be a punathon. 0:20:09.640 --> 0:20:13.720 Just stay with me here. With Premier Chris Mins urged 0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:16.920 to seek help from a higher power to build well 0:20:16.960 --> 0:20:20.639 located affordable homes. Now, with the Men's government scrambling for 0:20:20.720 --> 0:20:23.440 an alternative to build twenty five thousand homes at Rose 0:20:23.520 --> 0:20:29.480 Hill after that plan disintegrated, underused church land could be 0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:33.600 the answer to mister Min's prayers, warned you. A group 0:20:33.680 --> 0:20:37.480 of faith based organizations now urging Planning Minister Paul Scully 0:20:38.080 --> 0:20:41.119 to change planning rules to let churches build tens of 0:20:41.160 --> 0:20:45.199 thousands of homes on their land. The Sunday Telegraph reveals 0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:48.520 that Premier Men's will look at letting churches build housing developments, 0:20:48.520 --> 0:20:52.080 with the Premier describing the pro proposal as a good idea. 0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:57.680 Across New South Wales, Faith Housing Australia has found seven 0:20:57.800 --> 0:21:02.840 hundred and forty seven faith owned sites within ten minutes 0:21:02.920 --> 0:21:05.880 walk of a train station, which could be turned into 0:21:05.920 --> 0:21:10.679 twenty thousand affordable homes. The organization is calling for Planning 0:21:10.720 --> 0:21:13.439 Minister Paul Scully to allow churches to build homes on 0:21:13.480 --> 0:21:18.240 their land by relaxing zoning rules for places of worship. 0:21:18.960 --> 0:21:22.000 Do you reckon this is a good idea. Currently, homes 0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:25.640 are prohibited from being built on land zoned SP two, 0:21:25.800 --> 0:21:29.240 which is a place of public worship Faith Housing Australia 0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:33.520 chair you'll know this name, Rob Stokes said that could 0:21:33.560 --> 0:21:35.600 be changed with the stroke of a pen. Well he 0:21:35.800 --> 0:21:39.159 knows a former minister. This would allow faith groups to 0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:41.560 build homes on land zone for places of worship. That 0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:44.280 could add twenty thousand homes in some of the best 0:21:44.320 --> 0:21:47.960 located sites in Sydney and other key sites around the state. 0:21:48.000 --> 0:21:51.720 He said. Providing more opportunities for social and affordable housing 0:21:52.080 --> 0:21:55.680 consistent with the mission of faith groups will help address 0:21:56.000 --> 0:21:58.760 an acute community need. Well, I can tell you the 0:21:58.800 --> 0:22:02.240 premiere is well seemingly on board. And if it's a 0:22:02.359 --> 0:22:05.240 stroke of a pen, one might say to old mate 0:22:05.320 --> 0:22:07.320 Rob Stokes, well that you were there long enough, pal, 0:22:07.400 --> 0:22:10.280 why didn't you do it? Well, he's already provided that answer. 0:22:10.440 --> 0:22:16.040 Nobody asked, there you go. Nobody asked me, isn't it funny? 0:22:16.040 --> 0:22:19.000 Everything's so reactionary. Could have gone on the front foot 0:22:19.119 --> 0:22:23.440 just saying Hey, you see that three acres at the back. 0:22:23.480 --> 0:22:26.000 Any chance, with a stroke of a pen, I can 0:22:26.040 --> 0:22:29.080 make that happen. Oh, he wouldn't knock on the way up, 0:22:29.119 --> 0:22:32.439 but you know what I mean. So as an alternative 0:22:32.480 --> 0:22:35.640 to rose Hill, maybe there's that you and I both 0:22:35.720 --> 0:22:38.120 know something has to happen. This may be it. Time 0:22:38.160 --> 0:22:43.200 will tell no Now. 0:22:43.040 --> 0:22:45.400 On weekends the Sunday sweet. 0:22:45.400 --> 0:22:47.240 Looking at the stories of the week. 0:22:48.040 --> 0:22:50.680 Today a real tree joined in the studio by leading 0:22:50.760 --> 0:22:54.639 child psychologists, clear rogue, Good day, love to see you. 0:22:54.680 --> 0:22:56.520 Thank you for having me. I love being in Well. 0:22:56.560 --> 0:22:58.520 Look, we referred to you as a great friend of 0:22:58.560 --> 0:23:02.280 the program. I don't want to just claim that as 0:23:02.280 --> 0:23:04.680 a thing. Are you comfortable with us using that expression, 0:23:04.680 --> 0:23:05.359 because if. 0:23:05.200 --> 0:23:06.800 You are, we can be friends. 0:23:06.920 --> 0:23:11.320 Luke program. See I told you. Let's start here. This 0:23:12.080 --> 0:23:17.080 judge who's lambastterd Michelle Telfer over gender guidelines and the 0:23:17.119 --> 0:23:22.440 report goes Australia's foremost apparently gender medicine expert and lead 0:23:22.480 --> 0:23:26.080 author of the nation's guidelines on gender affirming care, Michelle 0:23:26.080 --> 0:23:30.600 Telfer came under the attention of a family called judge 0:23:31.080 --> 0:23:33.840 for giving misleading evidence in support of a mother who 0:23:33.920 --> 0:23:38.600 wanted her child to be prescribed puberty blockers. This involves 0:23:38.720 --> 0:23:42.600 Judge Andrew Strum, and one of the aspects of this 0:23:42.920 --> 0:23:47.080 which I found concerning was that this child was under 0:23:47.119 --> 0:23:50.919 the treatment of the hospital for I think six years, 0:23:51.480 --> 0:23:54.399 and it was only until the court proceedings had commenced 0:23:55.280 --> 0:24:01.440 that there was some treatment and there was the diagnosis. Now, 0:24:02.480 --> 0:24:04.840 I'm sure these can happen in life, but it just 0:24:04.880 --> 0:24:09.199 doesn't appear to all match up. Tell us about the 0:24:09.240 --> 0:24:10.960 story and what concerns you most. 0:24:11.920 --> 0:24:15.679 Yeah, this judgment that was handed down by Justice Strum 0:24:15.880 --> 0:24:19.480 in the Family Court in April of this year is 0:24:19.800 --> 0:24:23.440 hugely significant both in the family court circles, but also 0:24:23.800 --> 0:24:26.119 for us who have been There is a group of 0:24:26.200 --> 0:24:30.160 US clinicians who have been really trying to speak at 0:24:30.200 --> 0:24:34.239 against what is called gender affirming care and when it 0:24:34.320 --> 0:24:37.879 is used blindly with children and so for listeners. Gender 0:24:37.920 --> 0:24:41.800 affirming care is the treatment that mental health professionals are 0:24:41.800 --> 0:24:44.639 told to use when a child of any age comes 0:24:44.680 --> 0:24:46.920 to us and says, I feel like I'm in the 0:24:46.960 --> 0:24:49.240 wrong body, I'm a boy who I want to be 0:24:49.280 --> 0:24:54.080 a girl. We are to absolutely affirm those thoughts and feelings. 0:24:54.720 --> 0:24:57.720 We are not to challenge them, and in fact we're 0:24:57.720 --> 0:25:01.680 told to help them socially transition to the other gender. Now, 0:25:01.880 --> 0:25:03.960 that might be in the context look of a child 0:25:04.040 --> 0:25:09.480 having a background of significant developmental disorders like autism, mental 0:25:09.480 --> 0:25:13.520 health disorders like this child, and the family court high conflict, 0:25:13.720 --> 0:25:17.879 parental divorce. And in fact, there are clinicians in this state, 0:25:17.960 --> 0:25:22.040 including myself, who, when we want to take a watch 0:25:22.080 --> 0:25:24.560 and wait approach and we want to say let's just 0:25:24.920 --> 0:25:27.760 park the gender issue and let's work on some of 0:25:27.800 --> 0:25:30.639 these other things going on in your life, we have 0:25:30.800 --> 0:25:35.520 been accused of being the ones doing conversion therapy. Funnily enough, 0:25:35.560 --> 0:25:37.240 I know, yeah. 0:25:37.040 --> 0:25:40.359 Did I guess say this? I reckon. I know my 0:25:40.600 --> 0:25:45.000 audience pretty well over many decades. I reckon that they 0:25:45.040 --> 0:25:47.720 would sit with So hang on, you just want to 0:25:47.760 --> 0:25:50.560 part things and have a chat about the bigger issues. Gee, 0:25:50.560 --> 0:25:53.520 that makes sense. That's almost I don't know what's right 0:25:53.600 --> 0:25:55.720 or wrong, but it seems that that, in fact is right. 0:25:57.480 --> 0:25:59.600 It disturbs me to think that you can't even do that. 0:26:00.080 --> 0:26:01.879 Yes, And I think the problem is a lot of 0:26:01.920 --> 0:26:04.840 parents think that they're going to get a very thorough 0:26:04.880 --> 0:26:07.840 and nuanced assessment when they go to these gender clinics 0:26:08.080 --> 0:26:11.280 that are in you know, the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne, 0:26:11.359 --> 0:26:14.760 Sydney Children's Hospital, and they don't. What they get is 0:26:14.760 --> 0:26:20.600 a very fast, medicalized approach. The significance of this judgment 0:26:20.640 --> 0:26:23.240 in April and what happened this week is that Justice 0:26:23.240 --> 0:26:27.639 Strum has allowed for one of the first times experts 0:26:27.680 --> 0:26:30.680 giving evidence in the family court to be named publicly. 0:26:30.760 --> 0:26:34.040 Now that how the ever happens. There are very tight 0:26:34.200 --> 0:26:38.960 orders within family court circles, obviously to protect family's identities. 0:26:40.080 --> 0:26:42.880 For those in the know, like myself, we knew it 0:26:43.040 --> 0:26:46.679 was Professor Michel Telfer when we read the judgment, but 0:26:46.760 --> 0:26:48.879 of course Justice Strum said though it was in the 0:26:48.920 --> 0:26:52.520 public's best interest this week to know the hospital, which 0:26:52.560 --> 0:26:56.280 is the Royal Children's in Melbourne, and Professor Michel Telfer 0:26:56.440 --> 0:26:59.920 is actually the one who has written the national guidelines 0:27:00.160 --> 0:27:04.679 on gender affirming care. Yeah, so she has been absolutely instrumental. 0:27:04.840 --> 0:27:08.080 And I actually have to say congratulations to the Australia newspaper. 0:27:08.119 --> 0:27:11.120 They have been pushing this for six years on stories 0:27:11.119 --> 0:27:13.479 of this and they are the ones who have pushed 0:27:13.480 --> 0:27:17.240 now for the naming of Professor Telfer. So it's a 0:27:17.280 --> 0:27:20.399 watch and wait space. In regards to her position, I 0:27:20.440 --> 0:27:23.280 would argue that it's untenable now for her to continue 0:27:23.320 --> 0:27:27.280 as head of that gender clinic. The public has to 0:27:27.320 --> 0:27:30.199 know what's going on, and we have to return to 0:27:30.760 --> 0:27:36.200 a science led argument. Okay, because gender dysphoria is the 0:27:36.240 --> 0:27:41.640 only condition whereby we are told to lean into the 0:27:41.680 --> 0:27:46.439 delusions and anxieties of a presentation and not challenge them. 0:27:46.720 --> 0:27:48.480 It is the only one that we are told to 0:27:48.520 --> 0:27:51.720 go along with. And if we don't wear the ones 0:27:51.760 --> 0:27:52.280 harming the. 0:27:52.280 --> 0:27:55.640 Children, I'm mentioning you off there that And this goes 0:27:55.680 --> 0:28:00.760 back five years. A mother approached me privately wanting assistance 0:28:00.800 --> 0:28:05.680 to raise this issue because she had so I don't 0:28:05.680 --> 0:28:08.000 know about dead naming and what I can and can't say. 0:28:08.040 --> 0:28:10.919 It's such a complicated area. It don' would offend anyone. 0:28:10.960 --> 0:28:13.720 But she said to me, I'm not naming anyone. Her 0:28:13.760 --> 0:28:19.480 son had suffered extraordinary bullying and was then having some counseling, 0:28:20.080 --> 0:28:23.800 and the conclusion was that her son was in the 0:28:23.840 --> 0:28:27.240 wrong body and was of the wrong gender. And this 0:28:27.280 --> 0:28:30.119 went on for a couple of years, and as a 0:28:30.160 --> 0:28:33.480 caring mother wanted to be involved and was completely locked 0:28:33.480 --> 0:28:35.879 out of the conversation and then of course you hit 0:28:35.920 --> 0:28:38.560 the magic auge and then you are locked out forever. 0:28:38.680 --> 0:28:42.600 And she said it felt to her like the bullying 0:28:42.680 --> 0:28:47.520 and everything else could not be properly treated, so it 0:28:47.600 --> 0:28:50.720 had to be gender. And she thought, you know, what 0:28:50.760 --> 0:28:53.520 the hell are we doing, And once that became a thing, 0:28:53.960 --> 0:28:55.760 she was locked out and it was all you know, 0:28:55.840 --> 0:28:56.800 it must be gender. 0:28:57.440 --> 0:29:01.400 And you're hearing this story from the thousands and thousands 0:29:01.400 --> 0:29:05.240 of detransitioners now, particularly coming out in America, who were saying, 0:29:05.600 --> 0:29:07.720 you know, the abuse that I was copying as a 0:29:07.800 --> 0:29:10.960 child at home was not investigated, the severe bullying was 0:29:10.960 --> 0:29:14.440 not investigated. My eating disorder that I had at the 0:29:14.440 --> 0:29:17.680 time was not investigated. And of course these are children 0:29:17.800 --> 0:29:22.160 at twelve thirteen years old who are looking for, you know, 0:29:22.280 --> 0:29:26.280 belonging an identity, and so they grasp onto this gender 0:29:26.320 --> 0:29:29.520 idea through social media or whatever. And there is a 0:29:29.560 --> 0:29:32.880 contagion effect. No matter what people say, there absolutely is 0:29:32.920 --> 0:29:36.760 a contagion effect to this. And it is our role, 0:29:36.960 --> 0:29:42.120 as supposed to be scientifically led, evidence based professionals, to 0:29:42.160 --> 0:29:45.880 look at what's going on and hold a multitude of 0:29:45.920 --> 0:29:49.960 alternative hypotheses. And that's not being done. We're turning a 0:29:49.960 --> 0:29:53.320 blind eye to all that and pushing kids through a 0:29:53.440 --> 0:29:58.600 lifelong medical route, absolutely lifelong destroying people who are now 0:29:58.680 --> 0:30:01.800 coming out. And of course, legislator, the litigation in the 0:30:01.920 --> 0:30:05.920 US has absolutely gone bananas, with detransitioners now suing and 0:30:05.960 --> 0:30:06.920 that will come here. 0:30:07.200 --> 0:30:11.080 Yeah. Yeah. Another issue from the week. Monash University study 0:30:11.120 --> 0:30:13.680 has found that fewer than one in five students who 0:30:13.800 --> 0:30:17.200 experienced family violence disclosed it to a teacher or to 0:30:17.720 --> 0:30:21.080 a school counsel or, with more skipping school or becoming 0:30:21.120 --> 0:30:27.360 fearful of authority figures with detrimental effects. Does that surprise you. 0:30:26.680 --> 0:30:31.280 No, it doesn't surprise me. And that's because some may 0:30:31.600 --> 0:30:34.080 think out there that if you're being abused at home, 0:30:34.160 --> 0:30:38.000 school would be the safe place and somewhere where children 0:30:38.040 --> 0:30:41.680 want to go. But let me be clear. A child 0:30:41.720 --> 0:30:45.840 does not thrive or is unable to learn if they 0:30:45.880 --> 0:30:48.720 are in a state of survival, and so what happens 0:30:49.240 --> 0:30:52.160 is that they very quickly become disengaged from school. I say, 0:30:52.280 --> 0:30:55.000 you can't learn your timetables in a war zone, right, 0:30:55.040 --> 0:31:00.840 so you prioritize the body, prioritizes survival, and so what happens, 0:31:00.920 --> 0:31:04.440 of course is you slip behind academically very very quickly, 0:31:04.480 --> 0:31:07.240 and that's not been a nice place to go. You 0:31:07.400 --> 0:31:13.360 socially become isolated from friends and so yes, being in 0:31:13.360 --> 0:31:17.520 a school environment is very difficult. You also start displaying 0:31:17.560 --> 0:31:20.680 with so called mystery illnesses and excuses not to go. 0:31:21.400 --> 0:31:23.440 You don't want to go if you have physical signs 0:31:23.480 --> 0:31:26.600 of abuse because you don't want to be questioned. Okay, 0:31:27.960 --> 0:31:29.520 And there is a lot of research that shows that 0:31:29.600 --> 0:31:32.000 children who are abused in a home environment with adults 0:31:32.760 --> 0:31:36.720 generalize that to becoming mistrusting with other adults. So it's 0:31:36.720 --> 0:31:39.440 incredibly sad. And of course during COVID times that's why 0:31:39.480 --> 0:31:43.040 this was amplified that not even the one in five 0:31:43.120 --> 0:31:46.320 were being picked up because they were locked inside at 0:31:46.360 --> 0:31:49.360 home and not able to be seen at school at all. 0:31:49.400 --> 0:31:54.080 So it's incredibly sad. But when a child undergoes whether 0:31:54.120 --> 0:31:58.920 that's physical, sexual, or emotional abuse, essentially their nervous system 0:31:59.000 --> 0:32:02.640 is hijacked. They have no cognitive capacity to take on 0:32:03.040 --> 0:32:08.040 new information understandably, and they do in fact, as you 0:32:08.400 --> 0:32:12.040 rightly said earlier this morning, some children sadly want to 0:32:12.080 --> 0:32:14.600 stay at home to protect perhaps another parent. 0:32:15.240 --> 0:32:16.600 That breaks your heart. Doesn't it. 0:32:16.680 --> 0:32:20.360 Particularly early teenage years, you will get you know, fourteen 0:32:20.440 --> 0:32:23.160 year olds, fifteen year olds giving up school to stay 0:32:23.160 --> 0:32:25.560 home to protect you know, a parent who is a 0:32:25.560 --> 0:32:27.480 subject of abuse. Incredibly sad. 0:32:27.600 --> 0:32:30.440 Yeah, it really is. Got that's instructive. You can't learn 0:32:30.480 --> 0:32:33.880 your times tables in a war zone, so if your 0:32:33.920 --> 0:32:36.920 home's a war zone, I mean, very simple words. But 0:32:37.080 --> 0:32:40.960 how wonderful is that? Or understanding gives its a great 0:32:41.000 --> 0:32:44.640 way to understand that. Donald Trump and Elon Musk, Claire 0:32:44.680 --> 0:32:48.360 Roll with Claire leading child psychologists perfect to deal with 0:32:48.440 --> 0:32:52.440 this issue, the cluster Musk. They'll never ever be friends again. 0:32:52.480 --> 0:32:55.800 They can't, can they mean, he's mentioned Nepstein and we're 0:32:55.800 --> 0:32:59.360 now with that equals and Donald's got the He's got 0:32:59.640 --> 0:33:02.840 the the nuclear sized button and everything else at his disposal. 0:33:03.160 --> 0:33:06.320 So he probably wins on the power rankings. And they're done, 0:33:06.360 --> 0:33:06.840 aren't they. 0:33:06.960 --> 0:33:09.240 They've got a big ton. I don't know whether I've 0:33:09.280 --> 0:33:12.960 reached my pay grade here because I mean, this is 0:33:13.280 --> 0:33:17.440 not just political performance. I mean this is absolutely a 0:33:17.560 --> 0:33:21.720 psychological spectacle from my, you know, my point of view 0:33:22.160 --> 0:33:28.320 of two power driven narcissists, you know, out for a 0:33:28.360 --> 0:33:31.320 dominance battle here who are just throwing grenades in the 0:33:31.360 --> 0:33:35.520 form of tweets and social media updates. And that's the thing. 0:33:35.600 --> 0:33:41.560 We've got two men with extremely inflated self images with 0:33:41.960 --> 0:33:44.640 their own fan base who mirror that back to them 0:33:45.280 --> 0:33:49.600 their own sense of importance. And you know, I think 0:33:49.640 --> 0:33:53.040 Trump kind of sees Musk as a threat when he 0:33:53.080 --> 0:33:58.040 comes in with his kind of pseudo libertarian tech speak, 0:33:58.120 --> 0:34:00.480 and he sees that as a threat on his you know, 0:34:01.040 --> 0:34:04.959 political domain, and then of course he fires back with 0:34:05.000 --> 0:34:07.760 these threats of pulling contracts for him. And you know 0:34:07.840 --> 0:34:12.160 that they've got very, very different agendas. Musk with a 0:34:12.239 --> 0:34:15.279 far more physical but globalist I think idea of how 0:34:15.320 --> 0:34:18.720 he's going to save humanity through space travel and AI 0:34:18.960 --> 0:34:22.280 and you know, the tech side of things, and Trump, 0:34:22.920 --> 0:34:25.680 you know, his focus is completely different on America first 0:34:25.760 --> 0:34:31.040 and you know, restoring American American dominance through the working class, 0:34:31.080 --> 0:34:33.120 and that's where his emphasis is. And so I think 0:34:33.160 --> 0:34:35.680 this was always predicted. I'm not sure if it's I 0:34:35.680 --> 0:34:39.719 think it's come earlier, maybe abound six months post inauguration here, 0:34:40.239 --> 0:34:44.000 and it's blown up. It's a very i mean, the 0:34:44.080 --> 0:34:47.640 spectacle past, the popcorn of this is unbelievable if it 0:34:47.760 --> 0:34:49.920 wasn't for the fact that at the end of the 0:34:50.000 --> 0:34:53.839 day the public losers. We've got really important things going on. 0:34:53.920 --> 0:34:59.240 We've got tariff talks with China, We've got nuclear energy 0:34:59.280 --> 0:35:02.880 talks with her. We've got Trump at the moment blocking 0:35:02.920 --> 0:35:07.160 immigration from most Muslim countries and being called racist by Iran. 0:35:07.280 --> 0:35:11.680 And we've got summits soon in Canada where hopefully our 0:35:11.719 --> 0:35:14.680 Prime minister maybe we'll get a chance to speak with 0:35:14.760 --> 0:35:16.920 Trump and that will be interesting on the back of 0:35:18.160 --> 0:35:21.719 all these defense spending tensions, all this stuff going on. 0:35:21.800 --> 0:35:23.120 But what do you think people are going to want 0:35:23.160 --> 0:35:27.040 to click on? This is unbelievable content and this is 0:35:27.040 --> 0:35:28.680 what the media will now focus on. 0:35:28.880 --> 0:35:32.879 Yeah, yeah, which we are doing right now. Claire, love 0:35:32.960 --> 0:35:34.080 to see you, Thank you for coming in. 0:35:34.160 --> 0:35:34.799 Thank you so much. 0:35:34.840 --> 0:35:38.160 We talking again soon. Leading to our psychologist Claire Row 0:35:38.280 --> 0:35:41.760 doing great work at the IPA too, Institute of Public Affairs. 0:35:41.880 --> 0:35:45.080 Keep your eye out for that. Wonderful having Claire Row 0:35:45.120 --> 0:35:47.239 in the studio. I have to say, Jim on the 0:35:47.360 --> 0:35:50.719 email says, Luke, get that clear Row on every week. 0:35:50.760 --> 0:35:53.960 She's a bloody ripper. Well, she's got more enjoyable things 0:35:54.000 --> 0:35:55.239 to do in life, but it was great to have 0:35:55.400 --> 0:35:57.719 me here. You're right, thanks so much for getting in touch. 0:35:58.040 --> 0:36:01.759 Violent protests erupted in our a after masked and armed 0:36:01.800 --> 0:36:07.440 federal agents carried out sweeping immigration rage rage rather enforceable, forceful, 0:36:07.520 --> 0:36:12.120 even displays President Donald Trump's crackdown on people without papers. 0:36:12.640 --> 0:36:14.960 In New York City, at least five people were arrested 0:36:14.960 --> 0:36:17.640 as a mob of nearly one hundred protesters tried to 0:36:17.640 --> 0:36:23.080 block federal authorities apparently conducting immigration raids in Lower Manhattan. 0:36:23.560 --> 0:36:26.960 According to police and video from a chaotic scene, agents 0:36:27.040 --> 0:36:31.360 used extreme tactics, they say, conducting unprecedented raids on at 0:36:31.480 --> 0:36:35.000 least three areas of LA to detain dozens of people. 0:36:35.080 --> 0:36:37.920 That story continues. We'll keep an eye on it for you. 0:36:50.520 --> 0:36:54.600 Cross Australia, it's back to weekends with Luke Grant. 0:36:58.680 --> 0:37:00.600 Good morning, Thank you for having a so on. It's 0:37:00.680 --> 0:37:03.840 terrific to be with you here on Sunday, the eighth 0:37:03.880 --> 0:37:07.080 of June. For many listeners, it's the middle of the 0:37:07.280 --> 0:37:11.360 King's Birthday long weekend. Not so much in WA and QLD, 0:37:12.040 --> 0:37:15.759 where it's business as usual tomorrow. In the meantime, a 0:37:15.880 --> 0:37:19.200 cool start to a cold day, many parts of our 0:37:19.280 --> 0:37:21.799 listening area. Thank you for getting in touch on the 0:37:22.000 --> 0:37:25.319 text zero four six zero eight seven three eight seven 0:37:25.400 --> 0:37:28.240 three one three one eight seven three in the open 0:37:28.280 --> 0:37:30.520 line and via the website to two GB, and for 0:37:30.719 --> 0:37:33.680 BC to send me an email. Plenty of people have 0:37:33.719 --> 0:37:36.040 done that. We'll get to those in a moment. A 0:37:36.160 --> 0:37:40.560 taste and nutrition are on the chopping block as Australians 0:37:41.120 --> 0:37:45.840 have started sacrificing both in favor of price, with cost 0:37:46.200 --> 0:37:50.600 of living pressures hitting grocery bills hard. You see the 0:37:50.640 --> 0:37:54.560 idea as just an election issue. The cost of livings 0:37:54.560 --> 0:37:57.279 on a thing, A couple of inchestright carts. Now it's 0:37:57.280 --> 0:38:02.800 all good. According to use called Lighthouse Consumer Tracker polling 0:38:02.840 --> 0:38:09.280 for April, fifty five percent of Australians prioritize price over 0:38:09.400 --> 0:38:14.160 all other factors when making food choices at the supermarket. 0:38:14.680 --> 0:38:19.640 Twenty nine percent consider nutrition and health, fifty one percent 0:38:19.719 --> 0:38:26.360 prioritized flavor. AMA Association President doctor Daniel McMullin says achieving 0:38:26.400 --> 0:38:28.960 a healthy, balanced diet and a cost of living crisis 0:38:29.000 --> 0:38:32.080 could be difficult, but says it was vital to our 0:38:32.120 --> 0:38:35.680 long term physical and mental health. She says if people 0:38:35.680 --> 0:38:39.719 are really going without adequate nutrition. It'd be devastating to 0:38:39.760 --> 0:38:43.279 see the impacts of that in our society. So, you know, 0:38:43.360 --> 0:38:46.840 cost of living crisis anyone. It continues in all sorts 0:38:46.880 --> 0:38:50.719 of different ways. In Queensland, Premier David Chris fullia Is 0:38:50.760 --> 0:38:53.840 slam schools for failing in their duty of care and 0:38:53.920 --> 0:38:57.759 social media giants for allowing porn and other offensive and 0:38:57.920 --> 0:39:02.560 illegal material to remain on their plants. When Premier Christoph 0:39:02.560 --> 0:39:07.400 Foley was contacted about the Good Shepherd Lutheran College in Nuseville, 0:39:08.200 --> 0:39:11.839 which failed to report to police the distribution of pornography 0:39:11.880 --> 0:39:15.680 by students almost three months after being made aware of it, 0:39:16.239 --> 0:39:19.200 he said poor behavior needed to be dealt with immediately. 0:39:19.880 --> 0:39:22.759 No surprise is there, he says. We all have an 0:39:22.760 --> 0:39:26.359 obligation to call this a borring behavior out and take 0:39:26.440 --> 0:39:29.520 action the second that we're aware of it. I mean, 0:39:30.120 --> 0:39:33.000 I know I refer to it well maybe occasionally, but 0:39:33.040 --> 0:39:36.520 it's the behavior you walk past that you mightn't directly, 0:39:36.560 --> 0:39:40.359 but indirectly. You know you're giving that a tick if 0:39:40.360 --> 0:39:43.399 that comes to your attention and you just okay, that's 0:39:44.520 --> 0:39:48.239 not unlike giving it a tick not good enough, He 0:39:48.400 --> 0:39:52.080 told the Career mail. These sickening videos must be taken 0:39:52.120 --> 0:39:53.759 down and it's not a joke or a laughing matter. 0:39:53.840 --> 0:39:58.080 It's serious. He's also blasted social media company saying how 0:39:58.120 --> 0:40:02.360 on earth can social media companies allow this sickening content 0:40:03.000 --> 0:40:06.880 to remain on their platforms Now Last month, Brisbane Boys 0:40:06.960 --> 0:40:12.800 College students shared allegedly serious and potentially illegal nude content 0:40:12.880 --> 0:40:16.360 and a group chat on social media. That case remains 0:40:16.480 --> 0:40:20.000 under investigation and if it's there long enough, you know 0:40:20.080 --> 0:40:23.040 we kind of again the walking past and accepting it's 0:40:23.080 --> 0:40:25.640 oh yeah, that again. Well, it should never get to 0:40:25.680 --> 0:40:28.800 that level, should it. It should never get to that level. 0:40:29.880 --> 0:40:33.240 Senior police a warning of simmering anger within their ranks 0:40:33.239 --> 0:40:35.600 over calls to enlist them in the state that is, 0:40:35.680 --> 0:40:38.920 New South Wales crackdown on the tobacco black market, saying 0:40:39.320 --> 0:40:42.880 it would divert at least five hundred officers from tracking 0:40:43.040 --> 0:40:48.319 organized criminals and high risk domestic violence offenders. Premier Inns 0:40:48.360 --> 0:40:50.560 this week warned police could be forced to step up 0:40:50.600 --> 0:40:55.000 tobacco enforcement unless the Commonwealth government scaled back the tax 0:40:55.360 --> 0:40:58.880 on legal products that had seen the black market explode 0:40:58.920 --> 0:41:03.640 in New South Wales. It's exploded everywhere the idea was 0:41:03.719 --> 0:41:06.800 met with shock at all levels of the force, which 0:41:06.880 --> 0:41:11.680 is short staffed by about four thousand officers. And that's 0:41:11.719 --> 0:41:15.600 another thing. Senior police told The Herald it would take 0:41:15.680 --> 0:41:20.680 five hundred officers full time to inspect, search and enforce 0:41:20.760 --> 0:41:25.399 the laws on an estimated eight thousand retailers. The true 0:41:25.440 --> 0:41:28.080 number of retailers could be much higher. Those officers would 0:41:28.120 --> 0:41:32.040 likely be sourced from proactive squads or general duties, they warned. 0:41:32.560 --> 0:41:34.839 A senior opposite, telling the Herald, we have twenty five 0:41:34.920 --> 0:41:39.040 hundred vacancies, sixteen hundred people of sick. We simply cannot 0:41:39.040 --> 0:41:42.960 do it. Another says we've got an increasing responsibility for 0:41:43.000 --> 0:41:47.080 both domestic and sexual violence. We can't be kicking in 0:41:47.160 --> 0:41:51.000 smoke shops over a tax issue, not to mention the 0:41:51.080 --> 0:41:54.760 gang war. Now we've talked about this issue on this program, 0:41:54.880 --> 0:41:58.080 as you know, for some time, and it is no 0:41:58.280 --> 0:42:02.759 surprise to you, absolutely no surprise to me. This has 0:42:02.840 --> 0:42:08.800 been completely stuffed up. And whilst it will be nothing 0:42:08.880 --> 0:42:14.560 the government seeks to do, you've gone too far. You've 0:42:14.600 --> 0:42:17.040 made it and it was beautifully illustrated I think, by 0:42:17.040 --> 0:42:20.000 my friend James Willison the Telegraph this week. You can 0:42:20.040 --> 0:42:26.319 buy the legal marlbro for fifty please don't smoke for 0:42:26.400 --> 0:42:28.919 fifty eight bucks, or you can get the illegal ones 0:42:28.960 --> 0:42:32.160 from fifteen. Which one would you buy? Now? I just 0:42:32.200 --> 0:42:35.040 told you about a story about buying a healthy food 0:42:35.560 --> 0:42:38.040 or that doesn't come into it. You buy the cheap food. 0:42:38.080 --> 0:42:42.640 So what would you do? And if it was a trickle, 0:42:43.280 --> 0:42:46.960 then maybe you might take a band aid and fix it. 0:42:47.160 --> 0:42:51.439 But it's not. It's everywhere. In fact, I know people 0:42:51.520 --> 0:42:54.120 that smoke. They tell me they don't know anyone that 0:42:54.239 --> 0:42:59.359 buys the legal cigarettes in Australia. They don't. And it's 0:42:59.360 --> 0:43:04.120 simply a matter of fifteen dollars versus fifty eight dollars. 0:43:04.160 --> 0:43:08.480 I say again to you, what would you do? Whatever 0:43:08.480 --> 0:43:12.000 you do, don't smoke. But that's just the reality. So 0:43:12.200 --> 0:43:15.640 we'll take the police away from their duties of keeping 0:43:15.680 --> 0:43:20.000 women and others safe, investigating homicides and the like, and 0:43:20.040 --> 0:43:23.239 get them a knock on the tobacconist. You've got any 0:43:23.280 --> 0:43:25.839 illegal smokes her power right, that'll be two under, don't 0:43:25.880 --> 0:43:30.319 do it again. Next. If it was a trickle, as 0:43:30.320 --> 0:43:31.719 I say, you could, you know, you might be able 0:43:31.760 --> 0:43:34.960 to deal with it. But it's out of control and 0:43:35.000 --> 0:43:38.000 this is purely of the government's making and their advice, 0:43:38.040 --> 0:43:41.160 as of bureaucrats who thought make them really expensive, that'll 0:43:41.200 --> 0:43:45.560 stop people smoking. Well, we'll have the wherewithal to say, 0:43:45.600 --> 0:43:49.680 if smoking's going to kill you, it's illegal. And you 0:43:49.719 --> 0:43:53.360 can't do that with people who smoked for a thousand 0:43:53.440 --> 0:43:56.720 years or whatever it might be. Not that smoking would 0:43:56.800 --> 0:43:59.239 generally lead you to live a life of a thousand years, 0:43:59.280 --> 0:44:01.840 but you know what I mean, pick a date and 0:44:01.880 --> 0:44:05.480 it starts its day unless you are of whatever doctors 0:44:06.040 --> 0:44:10.920 directions or something like that. You can't buy cigarettes unless 0:44:10.960 --> 0:44:13.120 you don't really think it's that bad, in which case 0:44:13.360 --> 0:44:16.000 let's get some heaps of tax and then we'll make 0:44:16.040 --> 0:44:18.200 it look like the oh you shouldn't smoke by making 0:44:18.200 --> 0:44:20.959 them really expensive, because then there won't be a black market. 0:44:21.040 --> 0:44:24.000 I mean, has that gone for you? And you worry 0:44:24.680 --> 0:44:26.960 have people like me hop on a medium like this 0:44:27.080 --> 0:44:29.680 and blow up about stuff like this because you've completely 0:44:29.680 --> 0:44:33.240 screwed it up again. And then you wonder how people 0:44:33.280 --> 0:44:37.160 like me might say, oh, well, Trump is different, he 0:44:37.239 --> 0:44:40.200 might be odd, blah blah blah, but everything else they 0:44:40.200 --> 0:44:43.480 have done doesn't work, so give it a go. That's 0:44:43.520 --> 0:44:47.000 how we just want to see government do something that works. 0:44:47.800 --> 0:44:52.400 And in this area black market cigarettes, you've completely stuffed 0:44:52.400 --> 0:44:56.919 it up, as I said, probably unkindly. Again, well done, 0:44:57.000 --> 0:44:58.160 you quarter past. 0:44:57.960 --> 0:45:04.600 Ten opinions that matter us you can trust and now 0:45:05.080 --> 0:45:06.560 look grant comments. 0:45:07.680 --> 0:45:11.280 Yeah, although I seemingly was commenting then, I was quite 0:45:11.280 --> 0:45:14.080 taken by some work from the Institute of Public Affairs 0:45:14.080 --> 0:45:17.440 through the week. And this is something I've told you 0:45:17.520 --> 0:45:22.799 I'll spend time on because I reckon. I reckon that 0:45:22.840 --> 0:45:28.920 the subsidies have made net zero very attractive to people 0:45:28.920 --> 0:45:33.240 who might have Daddy's billions or other money sitting around. 0:45:34.719 --> 0:45:37.360 And they say in the report they've done. As federal 0:45:37.400 --> 0:45:40.560 government spending on programs related to climate change and net 0:45:40.640 --> 0:45:45.600 zero have soared, rising fifteen fold over a decade and 0:45:45.680 --> 0:45:47.719 more than four hundred percent in the last term of 0:45:47.760 --> 0:45:55.320 Parliament alone, it's making Australians poorer. This according to the 0:45:55.320 --> 0:45:57.880 Institute of Public Affairs chief economist and friend of the 0:45:57.920 --> 0:46:03.280 Program Adam Crichton. New research has aggregated the rising spending 0:46:03.320 --> 0:46:06.880 commitments of the federal government on programs related to or 0:46:06.920 --> 0:46:10.640 focused on climate change and net zero in each federal 0:46:10.680 --> 0:46:15.560 budget over the last decade, and he says while both 0:46:15.640 --> 0:46:18.800 Labor and the Coalition governments have supported policies to achieve 0:46:18.840 --> 0:46:24.440 net zero by twenty fifty, the analysis finds estimated annual 0:46:24.520 --> 0:46:28.960 funding accelerated under the Albanesi government from one point seven 0:46:29.000 --> 0:46:33.480 billion in March twenty two. I just say that again, 0:46:34.200 --> 0:46:38.840 one point seven billion in March twenty twenty two to 0:46:39.120 --> 0:46:45.160 just over nine billion dollars in the most recent budget. 0:46:46.880 --> 0:46:50.759 If climate change spending was consolidated into a single program, 0:46:51.360 --> 0:46:54.280 it would be one of the twenty most expensive federal 0:46:54.320 --> 0:46:59.320 programs at a level currently attributed to air force capabilities. 0:47:01.400 --> 0:47:05.279 The focus on climate change in federal budgets collapsed after 0:47:05.320 --> 0:47:08.960 the Rudd Gillard Rudd government before exploding once again with 0:47:09.040 --> 0:47:12.360 the election of the Albanesi government in twenty twenty two, 0:47:12.560 --> 0:47:17.200 but significantly it subsided before the twenty twenty five election. 0:47:18.280 --> 0:47:21.600 Adam Crichton says analysts have typically ignored the level of 0:47:21.640 --> 0:47:26.160 federal government spending on such programs because spending totals pale 0:47:26.160 --> 0:47:30.360 in comparison to multi trillion dollar cost households and businesses 0:47:30.440 --> 0:47:33.480 face due to the impact of net zero. Yet, he 0:47:33.520 --> 0:47:35.840 says spending on climate change and net zero in the 0:47:35.840 --> 0:47:41.080 most recent federal budget has reached about nine billion dollars annually, 0:47:42.040 --> 0:47:45.839 up from around six hundred million a decade earlier, an 0:47:45.920 --> 0:47:51.440 unbelievable fifteenfold increase. You look at your power bills and 0:47:51.480 --> 0:47:54.480 you see what the government's spending on this, and you 0:47:54.920 --> 0:47:57.480 wonder where the money's coming from. Well, it's coming from you. 0:47:58.680 --> 0:48:01.080 I mean, it's amazing. You look at the way the 0:48:01.120 --> 0:48:04.319 government's given you a hand with your power bills. They 0:48:04.320 --> 0:48:08.080 get to go to work, then collect the tax, then 0:48:08.120 --> 0:48:09.719 they give you some of that money back and say, 0:48:09.719 --> 0:48:16.440 how good. Anyone following this This isn't outrage, But to 0:48:16.520 --> 0:48:19.200 go back to where I started to think that there's 0:48:19.239 --> 0:48:23.800 been an increase to nine billion dollars in the most 0:48:23.800 --> 0:48:28.720 recent federal budget from one point seven in March twenty 0:48:28.760 --> 0:48:31.480 twenty two. And they tell you, and they tell me 0:48:31.640 --> 0:48:33.759 every day of the week, this is the cheapest form 0:48:33.800 --> 0:48:40.719 of power. They're kidding, aren't they. Now I've got a 0:48:40.800 --> 0:48:44.080 ripper for you today, as we shine the spotlight on 0:48:44.280 --> 0:48:47.440 an ordinary do is he doing extraordinary things? A fellow 0:48:47.480 --> 0:48:51.200 called Andy Sashon, not a household name, but jeeves played 0:48:51.200 --> 0:48:55.000 with some He's a bass guitarist, toured with some of 0:48:55.000 --> 0:48:58.160 the biggest names in music. We're talking about here, Billy Thorpe, 0:48:58.200 --> 0:49:03.399 Rose Tattoo, amongst others, Shanai Twain, and his success is 0:49:03.520 --> 0:49:06.160 unsurprising when you hear some of his work like this. 0:49:15.520 --> 0:49:17.920 I'm one of those people that could listen to someone 0:49:17.960 --> 0:49:21.800 play the bass guitar forever. I just it's wonderful. Currently 0:49:21.840 --> 0:49:25.400 playing his trade with the one and only Billy Joel, 0:49:25.560 --> 0:49:28.440 if you don't mind, Billy Joel. And we know we 0:49:28.520 --> 0:49:31.879 mentioned a few weeks ago Billy's not well, and that's 0:49:31.880 --> 0:49:34.600 how we became aware of Andy. After my listener Tom, 0:49:34.600 --> 0:49:37.000 and good on you Tom. He's a mate of Andy's. 0:49:37.000 --> 0:49:39.759 He called in to tell us that Billy wasn't well. 0:49:39.840 --> 0:49:42.720 So I wanted to find out more about the Andy 0:49:42.880 --> 0:49:46.440 Sshon's story. Here's some of his tales playing in New 0:49:46.520 --> 0:49:49.320 York City and around the world. I'm delighted to say 0:49:49.960 --> 0:49:52.000 we find him in the Big Apple today and he's 0:49:52.040 --> 0:49:54.920 on the line. Andy. What a delight to meet you 0:49:55.000 --> 0:49:56.600 on the telephone. I hope things are good. 0:49:57.800 --> 0:50:00.279 Look, it's great, nice to meet you, sir. How was 0:50:00.360 --> 0:50:04.280 my wonderful city? I flew into Sydney for the first 0:50:04.280 --> 0:50:07.440 time in ten years in December, and when you look 0:50:07.480 --> 0:50:09.480 out of that plane window and see the harbor, it 0:50:09.640 --> 0:50:12.040 just takes your breath away. I mean, I lived there 0:50:12.640 --> 0:50:15.239 from eighty four to ninety seven, and it's still just 0:50:15.680 --> 0:50:18.560 one of the goat I mean, top five great cities 0:50:18.560 --> 0:50:21.080 in the world, of the ones I've seen. But I'm good. 0:50:21.120 --> 0:50:22.719 I'm actually not in New York City, which is one 0:50:22.760 --> 0:50:24.920 of my other favorite cities. I'm about one hundred and 0:50:25.000 --> 0:50:28.160 ten miles because I've been here too long now north 0:50:28.200 --> 0:50:30.960 of the city on a beautiful little thirty acre again, 0:50:31.120 --> 0:50:34.000 been here too long, thirty Acre Lake, and it's the 0:50:34.080 --> 0:50:36.880 sun is setting and it's gorgeous as the sun is 0:50:37.000 --> 0:50:38.760 well and truly up in Sydney beautiful. 0:50:38.840 --> 0:50:41.319 Yeah, it's up at sixteen degrees. It's a cool day here, 0:50:41.320 --> 0:50:45.760 but it's pretty clear outside. I guess always we started 0:50:45.760 --> 0:50:48.040 at the beginning, and at some point you thought when 0:50:48.080 --> 0:50:51.319 you saw a bass guitar somewhere, or a guitar, see, 0:50:51.360 --> 0:50:54.160 I might give that a go ad. Did it start? 0:50:54.320 --> 0:50:56.600 Was it family that encouraged you or something you just 0:50:56.680 --> 0:50:57.200 wanted to do? 0:50:58.400 --> 0:51:01.480 Yeah, Look, my dad was an amateur player, a trumpet player, 0:51:01.680 --> 0:51:04.000 played violin piano. He started me on piano when I 0:51:04.040 --> 0:51:06.759 was like six, and so I did classical piano until 0:51:06.760 --> 0:51:10.680 I was fifteen and sort of taught myself guitar and 0:51:11.239 --> 0:51:14.359 had actually had a gig with my dad where he 0:51:14.440 --> 0:51:18.200 asked me to read some Herb Albert tunes. I think 0:51:18.239 --> 0:51:20.680 I was thirteen, and so it's the same son as 0:51:20.680 --> 0:51:23.040 a guitar, just an octavelower. Read your way through it, 0:51:23.080 --> 0:51:24.840 you'll be fine. And that was it. That was the 0:51:24.840 --> 0:51:28.360 beginning of the love affair. And so I played around 0:51:28.440 --> 0:51:30.680 Adelaide where I grew up, you know, sort of four 0:51:30.760 --> 0:51:33.960 or five nights a week from fourteen till I was eighteen. 0:51:34.320 --> 0:51:35.759 And then I went and got a real job for 0:51:35.800 --> 0:51:38.600 a while in marine biology at the University of Adelaide, 0:51:39.000 --> 0:51:41.279 until I sat my folks down, made them cry and 0:51:41.320 --> 0:51:43.320 told them I was off to Sydney to join Roase Tattoo. 0:51:43.480 --> 0:51:48.560 Aha. If that's not the best story in the history 0:51:48.600 --> 0:51:50.719 of stories, I don't know what is. How did you 0:51:50.760 --> 0:51:52.839 get to Who did you know in Rose Tattoo? How 0:51:52.880 --> 0:51:53.440 did that happen? 0:51:53.440 --> 0:51:55.920 I didn't know anybody. I didn't know anybody. I cold 0:51:55.960 --> 0:51:59.520 called every management company in Sydney and Melbourne, and I 0:52:00.200 --> 0:52:01.880 the tats I remember the first time I heard rock 0:52:01.920 --> 0:52:04.640 and Roll out Law. Oh yeah, on countdown. I ran 0:52:04.680 --> 0:52:06.960 down the hallway and turned the corner and saw the television. 0:52:06.960 --> 0:52:09.960 We're like, oh my god, they're animals, but man, can 0:52:09.960 --> 0:52:13.000 they rock. So that was that was twenty one, I 0:52:13.000 --> 0:52:15.280 guess I was nearly twenty two and I joined the Tats, 0:52:16.160 --> 0:52:18.400 and you know, my father wept. He said, like, I 0:52:18.480 --> 0:52:20.120 never would have started you on piano if it means, 0:52:20.160 --> 0:52:21.720 you know, you're going to give up the marine biology 0:52:21.800 --> 0:52:24.399 job and it off of Sydney. But you know, first 0:52:24.520 --> 0:52:26.720 first time on countdown, he got over that pretty quickly 0:52:26.719 --> 0:52:30.880 and he was supportive, you know, his entire life of 0:52:30.960 --> 0:52:32.960 what I was doing. So yeah, that's how it started. 0:52:32.960 --> 0:52:35.480 And one thing led to another, and it was Rose 0:52:35.520 --> 0:52:39.319 tattooed to Swanny to James Rains, you know, my own thing, 0:52:39.520 --> 0:52:40.080 and on and on. 0:52:41.920 --> 0:52:44.040 I think I've got Rock and Roll out Law on 0:52:44.080 --> 0:52:48.440 a forty five somewhere, but I've got just this image 0:52:48.440 --> 0:52:53.440 of your own man saying the kid's on countdown wonderful. 0:52:53.520 --> 0:52:56.440 Exactly that you know he would be if we were 0:52:56.480 --> 0:52:59.360 playing an Adelaide whatever band I was in passing through Adelaide, 0:52:59.360 --> 0:53:01.960 you know, you go there for the weekend and play 0:53:02.000 --> 0:53:04.120 four or five nights, and on Sunday night there was 0:53:04.160 --> 0:53:06.719 one venue, the Tivoli Hotel, and I'd go home to 0:53:06.800 --> 0:53:08.839 mom and Dad's for dinner on the Sunday night, and 0:53:08.880 --> 0:53:10.480 on the way out, I'd always say, you know, my dad, 0:53:10.520 --> 0:53:11.920 do you want me to put your name on the door, 0:53:12.480 --> 0:53:14.279 And so no, I know, no, Sonny, I've got to work. 0:53:14.280 --> 0:53:16.560 I've got to work right now. As I walk out 0:53:16.600 --> 0:53:19.080 and go, you know, just in case. Sure enough, you 0:53:19.080 --> 0:53:21.480 could see the front door from the stage and they 0:53:21.520 --> 0:53:24.840 were like, you know, nine hundred thousand crazy ROAs tattoo 0:53:24.880 --> 0:53:27.040 fans and my dad Max would walk in like, you know, 0:53:27.440 --> 0:53:29.680 three songs into the set in the stage. It's a 0:53:29.680 --> 0:53:30.320 great memory. 0:53:30.680 --> 0:53:34.360 That's beautiful, mate, it really is. And you've got to 0:53:34.360 --> 0:53:37.200 be I mean, I don't know, but you must be 0:53:37.400 --> 0:53:40.800 to have been able to play for so long with 0:53:40.960 --> 0:53:43.920 that and those wonderful people in Australia. You must have 0:53:44.080 --> 0:53:48.160 really been at the forefront of bass playing in Australia. 0:53:48.320 --> 0:53:49.080 You must have been. 0:53:50.400 --> 0:53:53.480 So here's the thing, you know, I've always been a 0:53:53.520 --> 0:53:56.680 guy that I didn't care about being a virtuoso. I 0:53:56.760 --> 0:53:59.600 cared about playing in a great band, and I've had 0:53:59.680 --> 0:54:02.680 that the joy of doing that my entire career, which 0:54:02.719 --> 0:54:05.400 is now forty years, you know, I mean from Rose 0:54:05.400 --> 0:54:08.080 Tattoo to then I was Sweany for a little while, 0:54:08.080 --> 0:54:10.840 and then James Ram when he first turned solo for 0:54:10.920 --> 0:54:13.239 those first two albums up until nineteen ninety. Then I 0:54:13.239 --> 0:54:15.640 went out of my own as a frontman singer in 0:54:15.640 --> 0:54:17.239 a band called Judge Mercy, which was kind of a 0:54:17.320 --> 0:54:20.120 hard rock band. We opened for like Iron Maid and 0:54:20.120 --> 0:54:22.160 an Ac DC and. 0:54:22.080 --> 0:54:26.120 Then hang on lit'sten it and brush this mate, that's enormous. 0:54:27.400 --> 0:54:29.040 No, no, it was great. I gave it. 0:54:29.120 --> 0:54:30.600 I gave it four or five years that we had 0:54:30.640 --> 0:54:32.320 an album and an EP and it didn't work in 0:54:32.400 --> 0:54:34.719 the end, but it was no regrets. And then back 0:54:34.760 --> 0:54:36.960 to base. It was back to like you know, Dragon 0:54:37.200 --> 0:54:41.360 Billy Thorpe. And then in ninety seven a buddy of 0:54:41.400 --> 0:54:43.440 mine and made of mine that I'd worked with in Australia, 0:54:43.480 --> 0:54:46.239 Noel Rush, said, look, you know, once you roll the 0:54:46.239 --> 0:54:48.400 dice over here, my couch is your couch, you know, 0:54:48.560 --> 0:54:51.319 come over and roll the dice. And I did, and 0:54:52.360 --> 0:54:54.759 you know it basically did what I when I left 0:54:54.800 --> 0:54:57.400 Adelaide and moved to Sydney. I just I just called 0:54:57.440 --> 0:54:59.880 every management company in the United States from Ada Z 0:55:00.560 --> 0:55:04.040 and I got to l for John Landau, who managed 0:55:04.080 --> 0:55:07.279 Bruce Springsteen and Shania Twain. And the reception said, oh, 0:55:07.360 --> 0:55:09.440 we might be looking for someone for Shania Twain. I 0:55:09.440 --> 0:55:13.120 had no idea who that was. I looked because she 0:55:13.160 --> 0:55:14.880 wasn't she hadn't released the big, the big you know, 0:55:14.920 --> 0:55:18.160 come on. And so I sent my stuff through and 0:55:18.200 --> 0:55:21.200 you know, because of because of the awareness of bands 0:55:21.320 --> 0:55:24.160 like Rose Tattoo and Ice House, who I'd recorded with, 0:55:24.560 --> 0:55:28.600 and and Billy Thorpe, you know, my stuff got listened to. 0:55:28.880 --> 0:55:31.719 And then I auditioned, you know with Mutt Lang, the 0:55:31.760 --> 0:55:35.200 great hard rocks, yeah who did a C d C. 0:55:35.400 --> 0:55:39.480 And Beth Leppard and shaniah and let me just you know, 0:55:39.520 --> 0:55:42.920 this is what sums up my my upbringing in Australia. 0:55:43.840 --> 0:55:45.759 After I'd played the first you know, hour or so, 0:55:45.800 --> 0:55:48.439 he came up to me and said, youzes, you played 0:55:48.480 --> 0:55:50.640 different to any other musicians in the world. Why do 0:55:50.680 --> 0:55:53.400 you think that is? And I said, well, you know, 0:55:53.520 --> 0:55:55.279 I figure you worked with the best rock band from 0:55:55.320 --> 0:55:57.759 our country. You know, a c DC. You know, those 0:55:57.800 --> 0:56:01.840 guys played you know, ten twelve shows a week, doubles 0:56:01.880 --> 0:56:04.439 on Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. I got to play six 0:56:04.560 --> 0:56:07.320 nights a week, you know, pretty much my entire career, 0:56:08.040 --> 0:56:10.160 and that makes you match fit. And you don't get 0:56:10.160 --> 0:56:12.120 that in a rehearsal room. And you couldn't do that 0:56:12.160 --> 0:56:14.960 in Los Angeles or New York or London. But in 0:56:15.040 --> 0:56:18.560 Australia you had our pub rock circuit and you went 0:56:18.600 --> 0:56:20.799 out and you played six nights a week, forty five 0:56:20.840 --> 0:56:24.080 weeks a year, and that's what made makes us play 0:56:24.120 --> 0:56:26.879 a little bit differently. I think the match fit well. 0:56:27.560 --> 0:56:29.879 Mate. I'm loving talking to you. I've got to ask 0:56:29.920 --> 0:56:32.719 you some questions that are probably on the list I 0:56:32.840 --> 0:56:35.239 need to kick off. Tell me about the biggest show 0:56:35.280 --> 0:56:37.000 and biggest crowd you've played in front of. 0:56:38.800 --> 0:56:41.760 In front of the coliseum in Rome with Billy Joel, 0:56:41.760 --> 0:56:44.480 I think it was two thousand and eight, two hundred 0:56:44.480 --> 0:56:47.320 and fifty thousand people in the crowd and live streamed 0:56:48.239 --> 0:56:52.320 live streams on Italian television. You can see it on YouTube. 0:56:52.920 --> 0:56:56.200 Funny because we were on a turntable with Brian Adams 0:56:56.200 --> 0:56:58.360 went on first and then the stage would turn around 0:56:58.600 --> 0:57:00.840 and then we were set up, so it was quick change. 0:57:01.000 --> 0:57:03.279 But during the begin our opening song or here's a 0:57:03.320 --> 0:57:05.200 bald eagle just swimming over the lake, I'm looking at it. 0:57:05.239 --> 0:57:08.160 It's so gorgeous, and go and hit the. 0:57:08.120 --> 0:57:10.359 Wrong button and we got halfway through the first song 0:57:10.400 --> 0:57:12.640 in the stage soted derotat again around the wrong way 0:57:12.640 --> 0:57:15.160 and all the microphone leads. But you can find that 0:57:15.239 --> 0:57:17.400 on YouTube, just look up Billy Joel Rohime. So that 0:57:17.440 --> 0:57:19.400 was the biggest one and a spectacular show. 0:57:19.480 --> 0:57:21.600 Where How did you get to play with Billy? 0:57:23.360 --> 0:57:26.439 I was. I was already in Chennaia. Twain's band had 0:57:26.440 --> 0:57:29.040 been for a year and a half and I was 0:57:29.080 --> 0:57:34.040 New York based and we had mutual friends. He'd actually 0:57:34.040 --> 0:57:36.160 tried to get me to fill in with him back 0:57:36.200 --> 0:57:39.400 in ninety three when he was in Australia on tour 0:57:39.880 --> 0:57:41.840 and his bass player had to go home because his 0:57:42.760 --> 0:57:45.600 parent had died, I think, and I missed the call. 0:57:45.680 --> 0:57:47.400 I didn't have a cell phone, did have a mobile, 0:57:47.720 --> 0:57:50.480 and so I missed four hours of messages on my 0:57:50.520 --> 0:57:52.720 answering machine when I got home to my place in Sydney. 0:57:53.000 --> 0:57:54.320 And at that point they had to go with the 0:57:54.320 --> 0:57:56.560 guy from the opening band, so I had a chance 0:57:56.600 --> 0:57:58.920 in ninety three, so he was aware of me. He 0:57:58.960 --> 0:58:01.200 was aware that through to Friends, I was with Shanai, 0:58:01.280 --> 0:58:04.120 which in the late nineties was the biggest scene the 0:58:04.160 --> 0:58:06.320 album in the world. And so he just asked me 0:58:06.360 --> 0:58:08.400 to fill in and do a couple of songs in 0:58:08.440 --> 0:58:11.320 the studio with him that we use for Runaway Bride 0:58:11.440 --> 0:58:16.040 or something. And then his guy had to take two 0:58:16.040 --> 0:58:19.800 shows off. He had another opportunity. Billy was talking about 0:58:19.800 --> 0:58:22.920 maybe winding it down, and I filled in. I cold 0:58:22.960 --> 0:58:25.560 filled in, like I finished the Shania Twain tour and 0:58:25.600 --> 0:58:28.120 a Sunday after two years of solid touring with her, 0:58:28.920 --> 0:58:31.280 learning Billy songs in the back of the tour bus 0:58:31.320 --> 0:58:34.440 and flew into Saint Louis and with no rehearsal and 0:58:34.520 --> 0:58:37.160 just went up and did it. You know, I did 0:58:37.160 --> 0:58:41.000 my homework. But at soundcheck Billy was like, what do 0:58:41.000 --> 0:58:42.600 you need to run? It's all about you, Tod. I 0:58:42.640 --> 0:58:45.040 thank you for helping out. I'm like, they haven't got it. 0:58:45.280 --> 0:58:47.600 We're pretty much you know up, you know what creek 0:58:47.640 --> 0:58:52.640 without a paddle, And so we played cream most of 0:58:52.720 --> 0:58:55.640 soundcheck and halfway through the set, and I had a 0:58:55.640 --> 0:58:57.840 lot of helpful queuing from the other band members, and 0:58:58.040 --> 0:58:59.920 but halfway through the city just leaned at the guitar. 0:59:00.080 --> 0:59:03.320 I made two quick downstrokes with his hand and launched 0:59:03.320 --> 0:59:07.040 into Good Times Bad Times by led Zeppelin, which luckily 0:59:07.640 --> 0:59:09.760 I knew what he liked. I'd ask people, what else 0:59:09.800 --> 0:59:12.560 does he like? Kareem Hendrix and Zeppelin, So I touched 0:59:12.560 --> 0:59:15.560 on that song. So in front of seventeen thousand people, 0:59:15.600 --> 0:59:18.400 we rocked Good Times Bad Times, And I swear that's 0:59:18.440 --> 0:59:19.920 why I got the gig, not because I knew how 0:59:19.920 --> 0:59:21.959 to play piano, man, because I knew how to play leads. 0:59:22.320 --> 0:59:25.600 Oh that is amazing. Oh mate. 0:59:25.640 --> 0:59:28.240 So I've been with him now for twenty twenty five years. 0:59:28.480 --> 0:59:31.480 Ah, that's extraordinary. And when and when he I'm assuming 0:59:31.480 --> 0:59:34.760 he does the band intro? Does he have special words 0:59:34.800 --> 0:59:36.960 for you? Are you the are you the RC? Or 0:59:37.240 --> 0:59:38.360 how does he refer to you? 0:59:39.400 --> 0:59:40.640 Now? Always? 0:59:40.680 --> 0:59:43.160 You know, all the way from Adelaide, Australia, please work 0:59:43.200 --> 0:59:45.880 on the bass because I always mentions my hometown, always 0:59:46.040 --> 0:59:49.160 does in I think when we played the MCG back 0:59:49.200 --> 0:59:54.040 in twenty two, he launched into Waltzing Matilda, Oh no 0:59:54.640 --> 0:59:57.640 before Yeah, he does that from time to time as well. Yeah, 0:59:57.680 --> 1:00:00.720 he's He's just the best, the best guy in the 1:00:00.720 --> 1:00:02.760 world to work for. I love him so much. 1:00:03.200 --> 1:00:06.360 Do you pinch yourself every day? 1:00:08.440 --> 1:00:12.520 I know that I am so lucky that I've been 1:00:12.560 --> 1:00:16.360 doing this professionally now for forty years, and I just 1:00:17.200 --> 1:00:20.080 it's what I absolutely love doing. I do it that 1:00:20.200 --> 1:00:23.680 the joy of playing with those musicians, with his band, specifically. 1:00:24.400 --> 1:00:27.520 I know that this talk that things might be, you know, 1:00:27.600 --> 1:00:30.320 with his health issues and stuff. I don't believe we're 1:00:30.320 --> 1:00:33.720 done done, but the biggest tragedy would be and I 1:00:33.800 --> 1:00:36.080 know he's going to be okay health wise, but if 1:00:36.120 --> 1:00:39.200 that band doesn't get to play together again, that will 1:00:39.240 --> 1:00:41.439 be a tragedy because it is to be a part 1:00:41.600 --> 1:00:44.920 of that collective, of that group of musicians where the 1:00:45.040 --> 1:00:47.840 sum of the past is way more than what we 1:00:47.920 --> 1:00:54.160 are as individual players. We're good musicians, We're a fantastic band, 1:00:54.600 --> 1:00:56.280 and I love playing in that band so much. 1:00:56.960 --> 1:00:59.080 Mate, you are an inspiration. I'm going to spend the 1:00:59.080 --> 1:01:01.880 rest of the afternoon on YouTube watching Billy Joel live 1:01:02.560 --> 1:01:05.280 as a result of this conversation, and I've got a 1:01:05.320 --> 1:01:09.080 listener who's a wiggle, Greg Page, who says, thanks so 1:01:09.160 --> 1:01:11.360 much for having Andy on what a great story. It's 1:01:11.360 --> 1:01:13.280 been great to hear how you got connected with him. 1:01:13.280 --> 1:01:16.360 Over the previous weeks. I've been following along. He sounds 1:01:16.440 --> 1:01:18.959 like such a great human being and you know what, mate, 1:01:18.960 --> 1:01:22.080 without you know whatdding in your pocket. I've watched a 1:01:22.120 --> 1:01:25.800 few of your interviews on YouTube, and my executive producer Nelson, 1:01:25.840 --> 1:01:28.680 who had a chat with you, tell me what a 1:01:28.760 --> 1:01:34.200 great Australian story and just what a brilliant bloke you are. Continued, 1:01:34.240 --> 1:01:37.040 great success made and I hope we can keep in touch. 1:01:38.680 --> 1:01:42.600 Thanks. Look, look, it's been a great journey. It's not 1:01:42.680 --> 1:01:45.560 over yet. I know my boss, the greatest boss I've 1:01:45.600 --> 1:01:48.000 ever had, is going to get well. I don't think 1:01:48.000 --> 1:01:50.080 he's prepared to hang it up yet. I think he's 1:01:50.120 --> 1:01:52.840 going to be fine eventually. I think what he wants 1:01:52.960 --> 1:01:55.320 is just a clean slate and to go like I 1:01:55.360 --> 1:01:58.560 feel great now, let's do some stuff again. I hope 1:01:58.560 --> 1:02:02.080 that's the case. But no matter what happens, I'm not done. 1:02:02.280 --> 1:02:05.280 I'm I'm just still just I can't believe I'm saying this. 1:02:05.400 --> 1:02:07.160 Up the forty is I'm just getting started. I still 1:02:07.160 --> 1:02:07.760 love it so much. 1:02:07.800 --> 1:02:10.439 Good been a pleasure to chat to you. You too, mate, 1:02:10.480 --> 1:02:15.800 and stay well. Let's keep in touch.

I'm in the middle of 1:03:02.880 --> 1:03:05.360 an office renovation. Would you believe I'm taking everything out 1:03:05.360 --> 1:03:08.080 of my home office here where I run tech Guide from. Yeah, 1:03:08.200 --> 1:03:10.800 and yeah, it's been quite quite. I couldn't believe there 1:03:10.840 --> 1:03:13.520 was that much crap in there in that room. So 1:03:14.160 --> 1:03:15.920 it's going to be a cracker though. 1:03:15.960 --> 1:03:18.560 When it's done, well, that's terrific. We need to say 1:03:18.560 --> 1:03:22.320 that before and after I will be sharing that good stuff. 1:03:22.800 --> 1:03:26.880 Now I'm intrigued by this. This is Telstra activating its 1:03:27.280 --> 1:03:31.720 text to satellite messaging service. So who should use this 1:03:31.840 --> 1:03:32.680 or who will use this? 1:03:32.960 --> 1:03:36.320 Well, if you're a Telstra customer post paid customer, and 1:03:36.400 --> 1:03:40.200 if you own a Samsung Galaxy S twenty five series 1:03:40.280 --> 1:03:45.800 phone or an iPhone thirteen and later, you can when 1:03:45.880 --> 1:03:49.480 you see that if the Telstra network. Once you're outside 1:03:49.480 --> 1:03:52.520 the TELSTRAA network and you see that no service, it 1:03:52.600 --> 1:03:55.640 should kick over to give you the option of using satellite. 1:03:56.160 --> 1:03:58.560 So if you are out because a lot of people 1:03:58.640 --> 1:04:01.200 are unaware, you know, Telstra say covered ninety nine point 1:04:01.280 --> 1:04:05.000 ninety seven percent of the population. That's true, but we 1:04:05.080 --> 1:04:07.800 only live in like thirty percent of the country. The 1:04:07.800 --> 1:04:11.160 actual land mass of Australia, there's more than sixty percent 1:04:11.200 --> 1:04:14.640 that has no cellular coverage whatsoever. So if you're out 1:04:14.680 --> 1:04:17.160 in the middle of nowhere, all you need is a 1:04:17.480 --> 1:04:20.240 clear view of the sky and you'll be able to 1:04:20.280 --> 1:04:24.680 send and receive text messages. You won't be able to send. 1:04:25.160 --> 1:04:28.440 You can't contact emergency services because you can't text triple 1:04:28.520 --> 1:04:30.960 zero right, so you can't do that. There are other 1:04:31.000 --> 1:04:33.880 I think Apple has emergency SOS, but that actually goes 1:04:33.920 --> 1:04:37.520 through a third party emergency SOS by satellite. So if 1:04:37.560 --> 1:04:39.440 you are in trouble, you have a recent iPhone, I 1:04:39.440 --> 1:04:42.840 think even a recent Samsung that goes through a third 1:04:42.960 --> 1:04:47.600 relay party and then they contact the emergency services. But 1:04:47.680 --> 1:04:49.320 this is just a straight messaging service. 1:04:49.680 --> 1:04:53.160 So if you, for example, on a cruise ship, would 1:04:53.200 --> 1:04:56.360 you be able to you know how it says if 1:04:56.400 --> 1:05:00.000 you're at sea and you use your mobile, it's really expanded. 1:05:00.560 --> 1:05:02.560 Yeah, that's a good question. But I think you might 1:05:02.600 --> 1:05:05.400 be outside of the if your office off the maybe 1:05:05.400 --> 1:05:07.560 if you're near the coast of Australia, it may might 1:05:07.640 --> 1:05:10.200 work out. At sea it might not work right. But 1:05:10.600 --> 1:05:13.160 even I understand even if you're like, we hit a 1:05:13.160 --> 1:05:14.920 lot of people who contact us and say, oh they 1:05:14.960 --> 1:05:16.920 live in a black spot, they can't get any reception. 1:05:17.280 --> 1:05:20.080 So say you live in a Telstra black spot, or 1:05:20.120 --> 1:05:22.720 you go into a Telstra blackspot and you happen to 1:05:22.760 --> 1:05:25.160 be in the middle of the city, this will also 1:05:25.280 --> 1:05:29.160 work then as well. So if you see no service 1:05:29.240 --> 1:05:33.360 or emergency emergency calls only, it will give you the 1:05:33.400 --> 1:05:36.920 option of sending it via satellite. So this is the 1:05:36.960 --> 1:05:39.680 first step of course, and Optus and Votaphone, by the way, 1:05:39.840 --> 1:05:43.240 just to be clear, are also following down this path. 1:05:43.720 --> 1:05:45.520 But it means within. 1:05:45.600 --> 1:05:49.520 Perhaps a couple of years, will have calls via satellite 1:05:49.560 --> 1:05:52.960 and then eventually data via satellite, so you'll have your 1:05:53.120 --> 1:05:56.480 entire service all via satellite, no matter where you are 1:05:56.520 --> 1:05:57.160 in Australia. 1:05:57.480 --> 1:06:00.120 Down down the track, we're probably looking at two, three 1:06:00.240 --> 1:06:02.120 to five years. When that's that's possible. 1:06:02.720 --> 1:06:05.200 That means the end of the black spot, does it? 1:06:05.200 --> 1:06:07.160 It does well if you're a Telstra customer. Does and 1:06:07.200 --> 1:06:10.479 when the other telcos get theirs online, it means black 1:06:10.520 --> 1:06:14.040 spots will then kick over to satellite also would give 1:06:15.080 --> 1:06:17.480 do you remember the massive optus outage? Remember are you 1:06:17.520 --> 1:06:17.800 about a. 1:06:17.840 --> 1:06:18.439 Year and a half ago? 1:06:18.680 --> 1:06:22.160 Yes, imagine now the telcos have the option of using 1:06:22.200 --> 1:06:25.840 the satellite as a backup, so the city cell towers 1:06:25.920 --> 1:06:28.080 are not working, they may be able to then opt 1:06:28.160 --> 1:06:30.040 for at least you about a center receive a text 1:06:30.080 --> 1:06:32.600 message via satellite. It's also going to serve as a 1:06:32.600 --> 1:06:33.560 good backup as well. 1:06:33.720 --> 1:06:36.320 Yeah all right, good ay, Judy, how can we help 1:06:36.360 --> 1:06:37.080 you morning? 1:06:37.160 --> 1:06:41.080 Looky boy, and Stephen, good luck with your renovation. Stephen sure. 1:06:42.160 --> 1:06:46.880 I recently had my hard drive fried by lightning, which 1:06:47.000 --> 1:06:49.680 also took out the NBN, so I had the brand 1:06:49.680 --> 1:06:55.000 new rebuilt computer. I turned on the computer the other 1:06:55.080 --> 1:06:58.040 day and the first thing that came up with the 1:06:58.080 --> 1:07:03.680 black screen with hey, you need to back up? Now 1:07:04.320 --> 1:07:08.200 do you want to lose all your pictures, your apps? 1:07:08.720 --> 1:07:12.479 And then down the bottom with a little Microsoft icon 1:07:12.960 --> 1:07:17.680 with let's get started. But there was no remind me later. 1:07:18.360 --> 1:07:21.280 Okay, ca, Yeah, well you can easily do that later. 1:07:21.720 --> 1:07:24.240 This is giving you because because it hasn't sensed your 1:07:24.800 --> 1:07:28.160 your backup, So if it hasn't seen the disc, the 1:07:28.200 --> 1:07:31.200 mounted disc from your backup from before, it's assuming that 1:07:31.280 --> 1:07:34.320 you've either haven't connected it or you're going to do 1:07:34.360 --> 1:07:36.840 a new one, so you can easily do that later. 1:07:38.080 --> 1:07:41.520 A word of advice though, for I always connect my computer, 1:07:41.680 --> 1:07:45.680 and I always buy a surge protector for my for 1:07:45.800 --> 1:07:49.040 my computer, and you could even maybe put it on 1:07:49.120 --> 1:07:52.240 a powerboard normally has a surge protector too. But I 1:07:52.320 --> 1:07:54.760 plugged my computer in the wall and I have a 1:07:54.840 --> 1:07:58.760 surge protector, so that your your your drives were connected separately, 1:07:58.760 --> 1:08:01.240 weren't they to the to the power. It's an idea 1:08:01.280 --> 1:08:03.600 to think about perhaps getting a powerboard that has that 1:08:03.720 --> 1:08:07.200 surge protection or buying individual surge protectors. If you're just 1:08:07.240 --> 1:08:08.600 plugging it straight into the wall. 1:08:09.480 --> 1:08:11.280 Definitely not a scam. 1:08:11.760 --> 1:08:16.000 No, no, no, you once it's encouraging you. It's not telling 1:08:16.000 --> 1:08:18.559 you to go anywhere. It's telling you that you need 1:08:18.600 --> 1:08:21.440 to back up your stuff, so which you need to do. 1:08:21.439 --> 1:08:23.439 You hope you can you get back your other stuff 1:08:23.520 --> 1:08:26.519 like it's fried, is it the other It's all there. 1:08:27.160 --> 1:08:29.640 The computer guys came and set it all up for me. 1:08:29.800 --> 1:08:32.519 But I was just a bit worried when I saw this, 1:08:32.640 --> 1:08:34.240 and I thought, oh, you're kidding. 1:08:34.479 --> 1:08:35.160 Yeah, I don't know. 1:08:35.240 --> 1:08:38.080 I think you should be fine. Be a scam it 1:08:38.240 --> 1:08:39.960 was telling you to go to go on to a 1:08:40.040 --> 1:08:43.479 link or to go outside your computer, that'd be a scam. 1:08:44.200 --> 1:08:46.880 Thank you, Judy, have a wonderful day. The point the 1:08:46.960 --> 1:08:49.400 duty is making there and I think you and I 1:08:49.439 --> 1:08:52.280 make it regularly. Is it? There's too much, isn't there? 1:08:52.400 --> 1:08:56.000 Email and other things pop ups you get that just 1:08:56.160 --> 1:08:58.519 look legitimate and you think, oh, well that must be 1:08:58.600 --> 1:09:00.320 tells through or vota fie whatever. 1:09:00.360 --> 1:09:03.720 Although the common Health bay on that, mate, My policy 1:09:04.200 --> 1:09:07.960 assume everything is a scam yep, and then work backwards, 1:09:08.000 --> 1:09:10.000 don't go the other way and assuming it's real and 1:09:10.040 --> 1:09:11.759 then finding out too late it's a scam. 1:09:11.840 --> 1:09:12.040 Yep. 1:09:12.400 --> 1:09:15.439 Startup front, assuming it's a scam until it proves itself 1:09:15.479 --> 1:09:15.960 to be real. 1:09:16.040 --> 1:09:18.560 Yeah, yeah, I agree, and I've you've said that, and 1:09:18.600 --> 1:09:21.519 I'll follow that, and largely our listeners are doing that 1:09:21.600 --> 1:09:23.280 as well. Or a mate to stay there a sec 1:09:23.360 --> 1:09:25.160 We'll take a break in the meantime. One three one 1:09:25.200 --> 1:09:28.080 eight seven three.

Simple as that, Robin, 1:09:50.360 --> 1:09:52.559 let's get to you online. Three how can we help you? 1:09:53.520 --> 1:09:56.479 Yes, I've just got a new I phone. Sixteenth my 1:09:56.600 --> 1:10:01.680 intigt at home isn't working. Sperson to TTG about that, 1:10:02.160 --> 1:10:05.400 but no five G. It tells me like Facebook is 1:10:05.400 --> 1:10:08.559 off line. Everything is off line, and I can't get 1:10:08.720 --> 1:10:09.920 WhatsApp I can't. 1:10:10.840 --> 1:10:14.000 You might have you might have your mobile data turned off. 1:10:14.120 --> 1:10:18.320 Just checking your settings, you're using mobile data, so it 1:10:19.360 --> 1:10:21.680 is that turned on and you're still not getting you're 1:10:21.720 --> 1:10:24.800 still not a right. Well have you have you power 1:10:24.880 --> 1:10:26.720 cycled your phone? Have you turned it off and on? 1:10:27.840 --> 1:10:28.080 Yes? 1:10:28.760 --> 1:10:29.960 Okay, it's still not connecting? 1:10:31.040 --> 1:10:31.080 No? 1:10:33.760 --> 1:10:36.719 For example, when I go to Facebook it's some off line. 1:10:37.360 --> 1:10:40.080 Yes, because what happens? Do you have good reception where 1:10:40.120 --> 1:10:42.080 you where you live, like good, good focus? You don't 1:10:42.080 --> 1:10:44.680 have the Internet, so you're relying on the five G 1:10:44.840 --> 1:10:47.200 and four G connection? If you have, you got good 1:10:47.280 --> 1:10:48.440 reception usually. 1:10:49.240 --> 1:10:50.760 Yes, no problem is all? 1:10:51.479 --> 1:10:53.760 Okay, Well, just process of elimination here. So you've got 1:10:53.800 --> 1:10:57.479 your mobile data turned on and you've got decent reception 1:10:58.880 --> 1:11:01.120 and you so I'm just trying to think, well what 1:11:01.200 --> 1:11:03.519 else it might be? So and you you've restarted your 1:11:03.560 --> 1:11:04.960 phone as well? 1:11:05.040 --> 1:11:05.320 Yes? 1:11:06.320 --> 1:11:10.960 Okay, well I think you probably make sure to. And 1:11:11.000 --> 1:11:12.920 you've only just bought this iPhone, haven't you? 1:11:14.000 --> 1:11:14.240 Yes? 1:11:14.800 --> 1:11:15.160 Okay? 1:11:17.240 --> 1:11:19.360 And did it did it require an update? Did you 1:11:19.400 --> 1:11:21.160 have a software update to do? When you did it? 1:11:21.280 --> 1:11:26.840 Go into your settings and you did the software update yes, okay. 1:11:26.800 --> 1:11:27.320 I did it. 1:11:27.520 --> 1:11:30.840 I did it before I actually transferred the data over. 1:11:31.000 --> 1:11:33.519 One more thing, you can try. Go into your go 1:11:33.640 --> 1:11:38.280 into the settings and switch the phone to airplane mode, 1:11:38.520 --> 1:11:41.720 so you know, so turn off the radios. So leave 1:11:41.760 --> 1:11:44.759 that off for about thirty seconds, turn it back on again, 1:11:44.840 --> 1:11:46.920 and I think you'll find it'll work. It's just probably 1:11:46.920 --> 1:11:49.439 needs your radio in your phone needs to need to 1:11:49.439 --> 1:11:52.639 reboot or something. That's worked for me. I'm a TPG 1:11:52.800 --> 1:11:55.880 on Votaphone customer as well. And is that your Telco 1:11:55.960 --> 1:11:56.840 Votera phone or who you with? 1:11:57.920 --> 1:11:58.120 No? 1:11:58.120 --> 1:12:01.519 No, no, I'm now with AGL which up just right? 1:12:01.680 --> 1:12:04.720 Okay, yeah, turn the radio off and back on again, 1:12:04.760 --> 1:12:07.439 so put it on flight mode and back on, and 1:12:07.520 --> 1:12:09.439 I think that'll kick the radios back and you should 1:12:09.439 --> 1:12:11.240 have you shall be able to their access everything. 1:12:11.360 --> 1:12:13.240 Yeah, that certainly helped me. I did that once. Good 1:12:13.320 --> 1:12:15.519 luck with that, Robin Grant. So we've got to be quick. 1:12:15.560 --> 1:12:16.200 How can we help? 1:12:17.760 --> 1:12:17.960 Yeah? 1:12:18.040 --> 1:12:22.439 Good Steve good a luky I loved during interview with Andy. 1:12:22.520 --> 1:12:24.439 He's a mate of a mate of mine who used 1:12:24.439 --> 1:12:25.240 to be in the channel. 1:12:25.280 --> 1:12:26.080 Have been with him. 1:12:26.200 --> 1:12:28.760 Wow, Well there, it's a small world. 1:12:29.720 --> 1:12:30.120 Isn't it. 1:12:30.439 --> 1:12:33.120 What's what do they say seven degrees of separation and 1:12:33.200 --> 1:12:33.519 all of that. 1:12:33.800 --> 1:12:37.479 Yeah, yeah, six or seven. Absolutely, what's your issue with you? 1:12:37.439 --> 1:12:39.960 You've got a problem with your age. Old HP computer 1:12:40.120 --> 1:12:40.639 is a grant. 1:12:41.560 --> 1:12:41.800 Yeah. 1:12:42.000 --> 1:12:45.360 Look now I've got to put my hand up here 1:12:45.439 --> 1:12:47.840 and say it's eleven years old, so it's had a 1:12:47.840 --> 1:12:53.559 pretty good run. Okay, but the computer, the hard drive 1:12:53.640 --> 1:12:58.639 may not be the issue up to about since about 1:12:58.680 --> 1:13:04.040 two or three started to becoming really slow and clunky. 1:13:05.000 --> 1:13:06.160 Yeah, well that could be. 1:13:06.320 --> 1:13:09.879 Well, first you've told us why it's really old computer. 1:13:10.400 --> 1:13:13.200 So today's applications are going to struggle. It's going to 1:13:13.200 --> 1:13:16.040 struggle to handle it. Do you have Internet security software 1:13:16.080 --> 1:13:16.559 on it or no? 1:13:18.479 --> 1:13:22.720 Just the standard Microsoft? Yeah, it's probably got. 1:13:22.720 --> 1:13:25.280 It's probably full of malware too. It's probably that's what's 1:13:25.280 --> 1:13:29.479 slowing it down as well. I think it's going to 1:13:29.600 --> 1:13:33.280 donate that to onto a museum. It's old enough enough 1:13:33.439 --> 1:13:34.240 that can save that one. 1:13:34.280 --> 1:13:37.719 I'm sorry to say, it's terrible to think that, Grant. 1:13:38.280 --> 1:13:41.240 I'm with you, it's horrible. It's only eleven years old, 1:13:41.320 --> 1:13:44.479 but in computer years as a couple of hundred years, 1:13:44.520 --> 1:13:44.800 isn't it. 1:13:45.120 --> 1:13:48.000 That's like doggiest it's like doggies. 1:13:49.040 --> 1:13:51.240 Yeah, good luck with that, Grant. Sorry, I got to 1:13:51.240 --> 1:13:53.200 cut your short a time. It's got a Steven. Good 1:13:53.280 --> 1:13:55.280 luck with the reno's mate. In the meantime.

We'll look Grant. Thank you for listening. 1:14:33.240 --> 1:14:35.599 Nice to be with you on this Sunday morning. It's 1:14:35.640 --> 1:14:38.840 the eighth of June. It's a cold day and lots 1:14:38.840 --> 1:14:42.280 of parts of Australia today, so that comes with winter, 1:14:42.360 --> 1:14:44.280 doesn't even though that's here it's going to be so warm. 1:14:44.320 --> 1:14:46.559 There's winter, and then you get a day like this 1:14:46.800 --> 1:14:50.439 one three one eight seveny three call it's a plenty. Look. 1:14:50.479 --> 1:14:54.479 I received a week or so back now from a 1:14:54.560 --> 1:15:00.960 listener Robert. This text. In fact, it's an email, and 1:15:01.360 --> 1:15:05.920 I just thought it was worthy, very worthy of repeating 1:15:05.960 --> 1:15:09.719 here and it goes. Dear Luke. I'm seventy years old. 1:15:10.520 --> 1:15:13.760 For over four decades, I was a volunteer first responder 1:15:14.520 --> 1:15:17.559 in a very highly qualified group. I might still cry 1:15:17.640 --> 1:15:20.240 if I had to tell the story of my first 1:15:20.439 --> 1:15:25.120 patient to die. I was performing CPR, with his wife 1:15:25.200 --> 1:15:28.840 and daughters crying behind me until help arrived. He was 1:15:28.880 --> 1:15:32.800 not old. I recall the senior Ambo's hand on my 1:15:32.920 --> 1:15:38.960 shoulder and his voice from behind perfect ecg trace son. 1:15:39.320 --> 1:15:43.360 But it's time to stop, he says. I'll never forget 1:15:43.400 --> 1:15:47.120 making myself stop when, because I was good at my craft, 1:15:47.160 --> 1:15:50.120 his eyes still looked alive to me. I was twenty eight. 1:15:50.200 --> 1:15:53.799 That was forty two years ago. I never drove past 1:15:54.000 --> 1:15:59.679 an incident. I remember the dead faces of children. About 1:15:59.680 --> 1:16:01.439 a year ago, I was in a higher car and 1:16:01.479 --> 1:16:05.000 the driver told me of his grief for decades over 1:16:05.040 --> 1:16:07.360 the death of his sister in law, who died alone. 1:16:08.160 --> 1:16:12.880 I'm the cold bitchumen of a rainy winter night. I 1:16:12.920 --> 1:16:16.519 was able to tell him that I was there. She 1:16:16.680 --> 1:16:20.040 was cared for, her life was respected, and she was 1:16:20.080 --> 1:16:24.880 given every chance. I thought she would die, but I 1:16:25.000 --> 1:16:29.559 kept her alive until there was an ambo. This year, 1:16:29.600 --> 1:16:32.320 I found a birthday card in my letterbox from that driver. 1:16:34.280 --> 1:16:37.479 I've never claimed compo. I was lucky, never suffered a 1:16:37.479 --> 1:16:40.080 mental health injury. I meant it when I say lucky. 1:16:41.520 --> 1:16:45.360 If we cannot afford to pay police, ambos and first responders, 1:16:46.760 --> 1:16:49.120 then frankly, we can't afford the people who help us. 1:16:50.920 --> 1:16:54.360 That's from a fellow called Robert. How about that? Eh, 1:16:54.400 --> 1:16:56.040 how about that? I had a look at that and 1:16:56.040 --> 1:17:01.719 I thought, oh, amazing, one three one, Thank you Robert 1:17:01.800 --> 1:17:04.439 for your servers. I have to say one three, one 1:17:04.520 --> 1:17:09.000 eight seven three is our number. Great Mark, there you go, 1:17:09.000 --> 1:17:12.840 good Mark you? Yeah, good, good on you. Look. 1:17:12.840 --> 1:17:14.800 I don't mean to be mean spirited in this, in 1:17:14.840 --> 1:17:19.719 this comment at all. Talking about illegal tobacco. 1:17:19.960 --> 1:17:22.360 I remember growing up thirty years ago, forty years ago, 1:17:22.360 --> 1:17:23.640 and if you were importing. 1:17:23.240 --> 1:17:25.720 Illegal tobacco into the country, there were big penalties. 1:17:26.000 --> 1:17:27.920 Yeah. 1:17:28.040 --> 1:17:32.320 I hear a lot of talk about how it's challenging 1:17:32.520 --> 1:17:33.640 to enforce. 1:17:34.960 --> 1:17:37.400 Rules on the shops that are selling them. 1:17:37.600 --> 1:17:37.880 Yep. 1:17:38.400 --> 1:17:43.000 Surely if we were to increase the penalties onto the 1:17:43.040 --> 1:17:44.720 shops and make it something. 1:17:44.439 --> 1:17:47.400 That was meaningful, then that might have an impact on 1:17:49.080 --> 1:17:50.679 them selling it. In the first place. 1:17:50.960 --> 1:17:53.920 Yep, I agree, Mark. In fact, we were talking about 1:17:53.920 --> 1:17:55.559 it afair and I said, you know what if you 1:17:55.720 --> 1:17:59.160 if they were a little fairer with the excise and 1:17:59.479 --> 1:18:02.720 they said, now listen, if you've got a packet, we're 1:18:02.720 --> 1:18:05.040 going to take it from you. And if we sell 1:18:05.080 --> 1:18:06.920 a packet, the first one is going to cost you 1:18:07.000 --> 1:18:10.599 five grand, and if we find it again, then every 1:18:10.680 --> 1:18:12.519 time that's going to cost you fifty grand. Then it 1:18:12.560 --> 1:18:13.479 goes away, doesn't it. 1:18:15.280 --> 1:18:17.679 Yeah? 1:18:17.720 --> 1:18:20.479 Thanksfully, good on you, Thank you Mark. Seems like we 1:18:20.600 --> 1:18:23.519 agree and that's a good thing. Now. I mentioned when 1:18:23.520 --> 1:18:27.479 I spoke to Andy Sehon that we were tipped off 1:18:27.520 --> 1:18:30.080 about Andy by a listener called Tom who's on the line. 1:18:30.680 --> 1:18:34.559 Thank you jeez, that mate. What a human being he is. 1:18:35.560 --> 1:18:37.120 He's a beauty mate, isn't he? 1:18:37.160 --> 1:18:37.519 Isn't he? 1:18:37.640 --> 1:18:37.880 What? 1:18:38.720 --> 1:18:39.599 How do you know him? 1:18:40.680 --> 1:18:45.040 From his band Judge Mercy in about ninety ninety two? Right, 1:18:45.080 --> 1:18:47.599 and then he went to play with Thorpy and Roast 1:18:47.640 --> 1:18:52.160 Tattoo and he's been around his bike. He's just look 1:18:52.200 --> 1:18:54.320 at him now. Base flavor for Billy. 1:18:54.120 --> 1:18:56.040 Zoor, how about Billy Joel? 1:18:56.200 --> 1:18:58.960 Yeah? Three quick stories. 1:18:59.160 --> 1:18:59.360 Yes. 1:19:00.040 --> 1:19:03.719 When McCartney came up on stage with Billy Jarles band. 1:19:03.800 --> 1:19:07.400 Billy said to Andy, just just step out of the 1:19:07.439 --> 1:19:10.559 limelight and go back a little bit, just in cases 1:19:10.600 --> 1:19:12.760 a bit of a bugger up right at the end 1:19:12.760 --> 1:19:18.360 of the show, and he said, McCartney's brilliant. The second story, 1:19:18.800 --> 1:19:22.120 and when they got Roger Dawtrey up from the who 1:19:22.479 --> 1:19:27.599 yes to do a show. You remember the bass solo 1:19:27.720 --> 1:19:32.960 by John Entwhistle Yes, my generation, my generation, Yeah, yeah right, 1:19:34.080 --> 1:19:39.240 And he'd done the solo and Roger Daughtery just turned 1:19:39.240 --> 1:19:40.800 around and give him a bit of a nod in 1:19:40.840 --> 1:19:42.880 a week and said, well done, mate. 1:19:42.640 --> 1:19:43.840 Well done son. Wow. 1:19:44.000 --> 1:19:46.960 And the third story Ye, when the COVID thing hit, 1:19:47.960 --> 1:19:50.719 Billy decided that he wanted to keep his band together, 1:19:50.880 --> 1:19:53.000 even though they mightn't work for a couple of years 1:19:53.080 --> 1:19:56.519 or so, but he paid every member of his band 1:19:56.800 --> 1:19:59.360 a weekly wage. What they were doing when they were 1:19:59.400 --> 1:20:03.599 on the road, said go out and get your own 1:20:03.680 --> 1:20:06.639 gigs if you can. But mate, when I'm ready to rock, 1:20:06.720 --> 1:20:09.080 you blokes better be ready to Rarely kept the whole 1:20:09.160 --> 1:20:11.040 band together and played for wages. 1:20:11.720 --> 1:20:18.480 Oh what about what about that? That's impressive? Well, Tom, 1:20:18.840 --> 1:20:22.599 can I just again thank you so much for firstly 1:20:22.640 --> 1:20:26.960 listening to us, and secondly for introducing us to Andy Sihon, 1:20:27.080 --> 1:20:29.880 Because as much as I think I know a lot 1:20:29.920 --> 1:20:34.599 about Australian music, particularly of the seventies and eighties, and 1:20:34.640 --> 1:20:37.240 probably either side of that a little bit I'd never 1:20:37.320 --> 1:20:40.760 heard or I wasn't aware of Andy. And to think 1:20:40.760 --> 1:20:43.519 that we just spent twenty minutes or fifteen minutes with 1:20:44.600 --> 1:20:49.200 Billy Dole's bass player, who's an Aussie who's played with 1:20:49.680 --> 1:20:53.280 ac DC and started off with Rose Kattoo and it's 1:20:53.320 --> 1:20:55.880 been on stage with Paul McCartney. To think we did 1:20:55.880 --> 1:20:59.240 that in the Hamble Radio show this morning blows me away. 1:21:00.240 --> 1:21:03.120 Thank you again, Tom, and again lovely to talk to you, 1:21:03.160 --> 1:21:06.840 and thank you for thinking of us. Andy Sishon. Now 1:21:08.000 --> 1:21:11.400 he mentioned to me when playing with Billy Joel at 1:21:11.400 --> 1:21:14.840 the Coliseum in Rome, the audience was two hundred and 1:21:14.880 --> 1:21:18.320 fifty thousand, and I think Brian Adams was on the show. 1:21:18.320 --> 1:21:21.880 They had a revolving stage and during the show the 1:21:21.960 --> 1:21:26.160 stage revolved when it shouldn't. But we do have some 1:21:26.280 --> 1:21:29.599 audio of Uptown Girl and you know what to listen 1:21:29.640 --> 1:21:32.120 for when the bass guitar is playing. This is the 1:21:32.160 --> 1:21:54.920 work of Andy shonn. 1:21:44.120 --> 1:21:54.160 Work that she never had a street there. 1:21:54.200 --> 1:21:58.000 It is Andy sa Sean and he's also doing backing 1:21:58.080 --> 1:22:01.240 vocals and you can look at that on on YouTube. 1:22:01.479 --> 1:22:02.880 I want you to keep listening to me if you 1:22:02.880 --> 1:22:06.639 don't mind. Pretty key to what we do, but at 1:22:06.640 --> 1:22:10.400 a convenient time for you and particularly for me, he's 1:22:10.439 --> 1:22:15.760 there singing backing vocals as well. Good a John, Look, 1:22:15.800 --> 1:22:16.920 how are you well? John? 1:22:16.960 --> 1:22:19.240 You well? 1:22:19.280 --> 1:22:21.240 I'll be better after I spit all this out. 1:22:21.400 --> 1:22:22.479 Okay, go ahead. 1:22:23.240 --> 1:22:24.439 I heard you this morning. 1:22:24.439 --> 1:22:29.600 You were talking about climate change and elbow and billions 1:22:29.640 --> 1:22:33.519 of dollars and you know the pollution that Australia has gotten. 1:22:33.800 --> 1:22:38.040 It's one percent of the world anyway. Yeah, I've traveled 1:22:38.040 --> 1:22:43.200 overseas quite frequently and there's two places I've been, Malta 1:22:43.439 --> 1:22:48.120 and Cyprus. Right now, do you know what they use. 1:22:48.560 --> 1:22:52.479 For their electricity? How they what do you call it? 1:22:52.680 --> 1:22:56.920 How they produce? Well, now, I don't imagine they're doing 1:22:56.960 --> 1:23:00.120 anything that's particularly environmentally friendly, are they. 1:23:01.080 --> 1:23:03.400 No, it's all been done by diesel. 1:23:03.680 --> 1:23:09.000 Diesel. Hey, that's what the green state of South Australia 1:23:09.960 --> 1:23:11.559 had to regularly fall back on. 1:23:11.720 --> 1:23:16.400 Recall that, yes, yes, and we're talking about all. 1:23:16.280 --> 1:23:21.639 This climate change and all this other mumbo jumbo. Well, 1:23:21.720 --> 1:23:23.479 if the world is. 1:23:23.400 --> 1:23:26.240 So polluted, why don't we go to places like I've 1:23:26.320 --> 1:23:28.240 just mentioned and stop it there. 1:23:28.800 --> 1:23:31.360 If we stopped it there, the place had closed down. 1:23:31.680 --> 1:23:36.960 Well here's an idea. Why don't we reduce our coal 1:23:37.040 --> 1:23:41.240 exports by whatever extra we burn here, so rather than 1:23:41.360 --> 1:23:44.479 being burnt overseas, we get burn it here and get 1:23:44.520 --> 1:23:48.360 busy building those clean and coal fire power stations. Problem solved. 1:23:49.760 --> 1:23:52.400 But well, why don't you get elbow On and ask. 1:23:52.240 --> 1:23:55.719 Him that he won't He won't talk to me. Bowen 1:23:55.800 --> 1:24:00.280 won't talk to me. They don't talk to me during 1:24:00.280 --> 1:24:03.960 the last campaign, Mate, I promise you we asked the question, 1:24:04.560 --> 1:24:08.880 we issued the invitation, but nothing comes of it. Now, 1:24:08.920 --> 1:24:10.920 I'm not saying for a moment, I'm not big nothing 1:24:10.960 --> 1:24:13.840 myself saying oh, they wouldn't mess with me. I'm not 1:24:13.880 --> 1:24:16.920 saying that at all. But I think they understand that 1:24:17.479 --> 1:24:21.000 our intelligent audience, including very good people like you, John, 1:24:21.400 --> 1:24:24.320 are awake up to the spin and the other what 1:24:24.360 --> 1:24:27.360 I'd like to call crap that too often becomes part 1:24:27.400 --> 1:24:30.400 of this conversation. Thank you for raising the issue. John, 1:24:30.560 --> 1:24:34.160 You're a beauty, have a great weekend. Now someone's asking 1:24:34.240 --> 1:24:39.559 can you put up the Andy Sashon interview on the website. 1:24:39.600 --> 1:24:43.040 It's there now you can listen to it there right now. 1:24:43.640 --> 1:24:47.559 And speaking of interviews and hopefully ones you enjoy in 1:24:47.600 --> 1:24:51.800 a moment or two, Chris Marshall, the British actor from 1:24:52.200 --> 1:24:57.520 Love Actually here's the young fella that was in the airport, 1:24:57.840 --> 1:24:59.720 yelled his name as he was saying goodbye to his 1:24:59.760 --> 1:25:02.519 mate and then said something else which is probably a 1:25:02.560 --> 1:25:07.720 little too riskay, but it began with big and ended 1:25:07.760 --> 1:25:11.000 with another word. And then he comes back later on 1:25:11.080 --> 1:25:13.360 the show with what I know to call a bevy 1:25:13.400 --> 1:25:16.280 of beauties. I don't know exactly what is, but I've 1:25:16.280 --> 1:25:18.000 heard in the old days people used to say that 1:25:18.040 --> 1:25:21.880 a lot. He's in a show called Beyond Paradise. He 1:25:21.960 --> 1:25:27.920 plays Detective Inspector Humphrey Goodman. Season three has just lobbed 1:25:28.320 --> 1:25:32.040 and the iconic British actor Chris Marshall will join me 1:25:32.080 --> 1:25:34.840 after this. Now, what to treat this is? We do 1:25:34.920 --> 1:25:37.040 speak to great people on this show, but not every 1:25:37.120 --> 1:25:40.759 day do we get to speak to an iconic British actor. 1:25:41.280 --> 1:25:44.880 His name is Chris Marshall and you'd know him as 1:25:44.880 --> 1:25:47.880 a man who shot to start and playing Colin Frizzell 1:25:48.240 --> 1:25:53.080 in a little Christmas rom com Love Actually you know 1:25:53.080 --> 1:25:54.680 what I mean.

Since then, Chris has been starring 1:26:20.479 --> 1:26:23.519 in a string of classics, including Death at a Funeral, 1:26:23.640 --> 1:26:26.719 A Few Best Men. I love that movie, and even 1:26:26.800 --> 1:26:30.000 Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice. He's no stranger to the silver 1:26:30.040 --> 1:26:32.040 screen as well. For the better part of a decade, 1:26:32.400 --> 1:26:37.040 he's played Detective Inspector Humphrey Goodman, originally in Death in 1:26:37.120 --> 1:26:40.479 Paradise and in the spin off Beyond Paradise and in 1:26:40.479 --> 1:26:44.160 Great News for crime fans. Chris is returning as Detective 1:26:44.160 --> 1:26:48.160 Inspector Goodman for season three of Beyond Paradise, which is 1:26:48.200 --> 1:26:50.880 streaming now on britt Box. And I am delighted to 1:26:50.920 --> 1:26:53.519 say that the great Man is on the line. 1:26:53.520 --> 1:26:57.160 Good day, Chris, Hey Luke, thank you so much for 1:26:57.120 --> 1:26:57.759 the introduction. 1:26:57.920 --> 1:27:00.880 Wow, no, my terrific speak to you. I loved your 1:27:00.880 --> 1:27:02.400 work and I've got to say and I don't know, 1:27:03.000 --> 1:27:05.040 you know why it hasn't been a thing but a 1:27:05.080 --> 1:27:10.280 few best men. I cacked brackets meaning laugh myself, silly, 1:27:10.400 --> 1:27:14.400 close brackets myself at your work in that with Olivia 1:27:14.400 --> 1:27:16.519 and Newton John and the rest of the cast. It 1:27:16.680 --> 1:27:19.000 was just a real gift. Thank you for that. 1:27:19.760 --> 1:27:22.280 Oh, bless you, thank you. I had such a good 1:27:22.280 --> 1:27:26.719 time making that movie. And yeah, Fox Studios in Sydney 1:27:26.800 --> 1:27:30.040 and you know, and up in the Blue Mountains Neckertomber. 1:27:30.240 --> 1:27:30.800 It's tough. 1:27:31.400 --> 1:27:34.360 Yeah, yeah, it was such good fun. I'll ask you 1:27:34.400 --> 1:27:36.720 only briefly about love actually, because you're not here to 1:27:36.760 --> 1:27:39.879 talk about that, although it's such a big thing obviously, 1:27:39.920 --> 1:27:42.759 we have to touch on it. For those that haven't 1:27:42.840 --> 1:27:49.280 seen you play Detective Inspector Humphrey Goodman. He's a distinctive character, 1:27:49.960 --> 1:27:53.200 isn't He's quirky, he's brilliant, but he's deeply human. Is 1:27:53.200 --> 1:27:55.240 that how you describe him? 1:27:55.760 --> 1:27:58.120 Yeah, I think he's sort of I mean, to me, 1:27:58.160 --> 1:28:00.479 he's a sort of melaunge really, sort of a whole 1:28:00.520 --> 1:28:05.080 mix up of all my sort of favorite detectives growing up. 1:28:05.120 --> 1:28:06.720 You know, there's a bit of marble in there, there's 1:28:06.720 --> 1:28:10.200 a bit of Colombo. You know, there's a bit of 1:28:10.560 --> 1:28:12.320 but also there's a bit of Harold Lloyd and a 1:28:12.320 --> 1:28:13.920 bit of Jack Tatti in there as well. You know, 1:28:13.960 --> 1:28:17.880 he's sort of, you know, he's sort of he's very human, 1:28:17.960 --> 1:28:21.240 but he's got a good moral compass. But he's also 1:28:21.360 --> 1:28:24.679 nobody's full, you know, and he's quite dispractic as well 1:28:24.720 --> 1:28:28.280 and clumsy and yeah, but he's you know, he's a 1:28:28.280 --> 1:28:30.600 brilliant detective and he's got a real good eye for 1:28:30.920 --> 1:28:32.240 a crime solving a crime. 1:28:32.400 --> 1:28:35.840 Yeah, yeah, I wonder from your point of view, I mean, 1:28:36.040 --> 1:28:37.519 I mean, this is what you do, and you do 1:28:37.560 --> 1:28:41.000 it so well, but when you come back for another season, 1:28:41.560 --> 1:28:43.600 you've kind of, I guess, in a way, got to 1:28:43.640 --> 1:28:46.000 pick up from where you're left off. I've heard you 1:28:46.120 --> 1:28:49.200 talk about putting on the shoes and that gets you 1:28:49.240 --> 1:28:52.880 in the character. But is that a difficult thing to do? 1:28:53.000 --> 1:28:54.840 You know, you do a series, you take a break, 1:28:54.880 --> 1:28:56.479 then you come back, and it is kind of like 1:28:56.560 --> 1:28:58.920 picking up where you left off, but so much time 1:28:59.040 --> 1:29:01.559 might have passed, you. 1:29:01.560 --> 1:29:05.640 Know, in between the me leaving Death and Paradise and 1:29:05.680 --> 1:29:10.439 then reappraising the character sort of you know, the characters 1:29:10.479 --> 1:29:12.880 sort of rebirth and go on paradise. It was sort 1:29:12.880 --> 1:29:14.599 of like three or four years, so, I mean, yeah, 1:29:14.640 --> 1:29:17.600 that was quite difficult picking that up again. But you know, 1:29:17.640 --> 1:29:19.800 it's when you put the clothes on and you know, 1:29:19.840 --> 1:29:22.000 he's a he's a big linen wearer. I don't wear 1:29:22.040 --> 1:29:25.600 linen myself, but the big linen wearer, you know, and 1:29:26.000 --> 1:29:27.360 you want to put the clothes on it. And this, 1:29:27.640 --> 1:29:31.439 like I said before, especially the shoes for me, the 1:29:31.479 --> 1:29:33.559 shoes is, I don't know. You get the gate back 1:29:33.640 --> 1:29:37.839 and you know, and I remember rifling through my pockets 1:29:37.840 --> 1:29:40.599 of an old jacket that I had on the original 1:29:40.640 --> 1:29:43.120 show and all my old notes were still in there. 1:29:43.640 --> 1:29:43.920 Wow. 1:29:44.080 --> 1:29:46.840 So after about four years so, I mean, it was 1:29:46.920 --> 1:29:50.559 just it was just like stepping back literally into another 1:29:50.600 --> 1:29:55.599 man's shoes, you know. And yeah, it's but from season 1:29:55.640 --> 1:29:57.000 to season it's not too hard. 1:29:56.760 --> 1:29:59.479 Though, right, Are you too classic the way linen? Is 1:29:59.479 --> 1:30:00.360 that what you say to me? 1:30:01.600 --> 1:30:04.360 No? No, I know I'm too I think I'm too 1:30:04.439 --> 1:30:08.439 tall to wear linen. I think you know what I mean? No, 1:30:08.520 --> 1:30:11.760 I do. If you're really tall, if you're a really 1:30:11.760 --> 1:30:15.080 tall bloke, yeah, linen can get a bit wishy washy 1:30:15.120 --> 1:30:17.839 on you. You know it can give. It's a bit flowy, 1:30:18.840 --> 1:30:21.040 a bit more cut, you know, a little bit more 1:30:21.080 --> 1:30:24.479 tie bit of on the clothes. Otherwise I look like 1:30:24.479 --> 1:30:26.599 a bit of a misshapen golf club. 1:30:28.800 --> 1:30:31.200 You know what, mate. We had some photos done here 1:30:31.240 --> 1:30:33.160 at work a few weeks ago, and I'm a similar 1:30:33.200 --> 1:30:35.519 height to you, six three or six four or something, 1:30:35.560 --> 1:30:38.479 and I wore linen. Actually I brought in half a 1:30:38.560 --> 1:30:42.200 dozen shirts, and the wardrobe lady said, wear linen. And 1:30:42.240 --> 1:30:44.840 the photos came back and I said, I look so 1:30:45.000 --> 1:30:48.719 wishy washy. If only we'd spoken before, If only we'd 1:30:48.720 --> 1:30:51.960 spoken before. Am I right? Am I right? You were 1:30:52.000 --> 1:30:54.479 born on the first of April? And if that's true, 1:30:55.240 --> 1:30:59.120 is when you were younger, did you get pranked, probably 1:30:59.200 --> 1:31:02.800 teased about your birthday on April Fool's Day? And you 1:31:02.840 --> 1:31:04.640 know you promised to bike. Can you end up with 1:31:04.680 --> 1:31:06.040 a matchbox car or something? 1:31:07.280 --> 1:31:07.720 You know why? 1:31:07.960 --> 1:31:10.800 It would be a great story, but it's that's just 1:31:11.360 --> 1:31:14.000 don't believe everything you read on the internet. My birthday 1:31:14.040 --> 1:31:17.280 is on the eleventh of April, so it's mister one 1:31:17.320 --> 1:31:17.960 off there. 1:31:18.280 --> 1:31:18.720 One off. 1:31:19.200 --> 1:31:21.639 It's a good story. So let's let's just pretend it 1:31:21.680 --> 1:31:22.639 is the first of April. 1:31:22.880 --> 1:31:24.960 Yeah, it's okay, Well let's do that. Let's do that 1:31:25.360 --> 1:31:27.400 for people that haven't seen the show. What do you 1:31:27.439 --> 1:31:28.960 hope they take from it? Mate? 1:31:29.680 --> 1:31:32.479 Do you know what? We live in quite weird times, 1:31:32.760 --> 1:31:36.439 and you know, I love all those really hard hitting, 1:31:36.520 --> 1:31:40.320 gritty cop dramas and you know, they're they're great, they're 1:31:40.360 --> 1:31:43.640 great to watch. But this is this is something that 1:31:44.000 --> 1:31:46.800 it's a bit of escapism. You know, it's sort of 1:31:47.040 --> 1:31:49.679 you know, like I mentioned Columbo and s Marple before, 1:31:49.720 --> 1:31:55.280 and another huge influence of mine was Jim Rockford James 1:31:55.320 --> 1:31:58.200 Gonner in The Rockford Files. You know, ah, you know, 1:31:58.360 --> 1:32:01.439 and it's all it's all a bit tongue in cheek. 1:32:01.479 --> 1:32:03.880 It's all done a bit like hearted it and I think, 1:32:04.600 --> 1:32:06.360 you know, there's a bit of escapism and we need 1:32:06.400 --> 1:32:09.519 a bit of escapism. It's a puzzle to it. Sit 1:32:09.600 --> 1:32:11.640 down and it's cross demographic. You can sit down. You 1:32:11.640 --> 1:32:13.760 can watch it with your kids, your mum and your dog. 1:32:14.400 --> 1:32:18.479 You know, it's good. It's good formily viewing, but it's 1:32:18.479 --> 1:32:21.840 good fun. It's it's there's a puzzle you can work out, 1:32:21.960 --> 1:32:24.840 you know. It's yeah, you know, puts a smile on 1:32:24.880 --> 1:32:25.280 your face. 1:32:26.080 --> 1:32:27.840 You know what I was about to say. You know what, 1:32:28.439 --> 1:32:30.719 Chris Will puts a smile on your face. That's exactly 1:32:30.720 --> 1:32:34.080 that's exactly right. And you know what, to a large point, 1:32:34.200 --> 1:32:38.639 I think that's what in entertainment we're supposed to do. Largely. 1:32:38.760 --> 1:32:40.920 I mean, you can sit down for as long as 1:32:40.960 --> 1:32:43.360 you need to and you don't feel bad about things, 1:32:43.400 --> 1:32:45.760 You feel like hey about stuff, and you might have 1:32:45.880 --> 1:32:48.320 been forced to think a bit and been forced to 1:32:48.360 --> 1:32:50.800 laugh a bit. And isn't that isn't that partly what 1:32:50.840 --> 1:32:56.479 we're meant to do? Six episodes in this series? Tell 1:32:56.520 --> 1:32:59.400 me about the making of it. It's a it's a 1:32:59.640 --> 1:33:02.240 it's a Devon and Cornwell. Is that where you should it? 1:33:03.479 --> 1:33:06.160 Yeah? So the last of two counties that stick out 1:33:06.160 --> 1:33:08.479 and sort of peninsula at the bottom in the southwest 1:33:08.520 --> 1:33:12.599 of the UK, Devon and Cornwall. There's a great rivalry 1:33:12.640 --> 1:33:16.240 between the two counties. I mean it's quite visceral actually, 1:33:16.400 --> 1:33:19.760 so we film in both counties, even though technically the 1:33:19.800 --> 1:33:24.160 show is set in Devon. And you know, there's a 1:33:24.160 --> 1:33:26.760 big argument about I believe you guys call it a 1:33:26.800 --> 1:33:30.320 Devonshire tea over here. Yes, yeah, Well, there's a big 1:33:30.400 --> 1:33:32.360 argument about how you have your jam and how you 1:33:32.400 --> 1:33:37.519 have your cream? Yes, in Cornwall, Cornwall and Devon have 1:33:37.600 --> 1:33:41.280 it very differently. It's it's real, mate, it's real. 1:33:41.760 --> 1:33:43.880 It's hang on, I've got I've got to ask you 1:33:43.920 --> 1:33:44.840 how differently. 1:33:44.600 --> 1:33:44.960 I have it? 1:33:45.720 --> 1:33:47.880 So let me get this right. 1:33:48.000 --> 1:33:52.240 So Cornwall has it jam first, jam first, cream on 1:33:52.360 --> 1:33:56.360 top yep, and Devon Devonshire does the reverse. 1:33:56.880 --> 1:33:59.880 Right you are you allowed to have a preferred option 1:34:00.120 --> 1:34:01.439 or they're going to spoil things? 1:34:01.880 --> 1:34:02.120 Yeah? 1:34:02.120 --> 1:34:03.960 I do have a preferred option, I have to say, 1:34:03.960 --> 1:34:05.360 and that is the jam first. 1:34:06.000 --> 1:34:06.479 Yeah. 1:34:06.800 --> 1:34:07.879 And they even. 1:34:07.720 --> 1:34:11.360 Call each other jam first, jam first and cream first 1:34:11.520 --> 1:34:14.880 of Devonshire and Cornish they do. I mean, it's a 1:34:15.040 --> 1:34:15.840 it's a real thing. 1:34:16.360 --> 1:34:16.599 Yeah. 1:34:16.840 --> 1:34:19.160 So yeah, we we've thought done. That's very beautiful, you know. 1:34:19.240 --> 1:34:23.160 I mean, I don't know how many people are aware 1:34:23.360 --> 1:34:27.120 of Devon and Cornwall in OZ but or you know, 1:34:27.479 --> 1:34:30.200 or have visited. But we've we've got beautiful beaches down there. 1:34:30.240 --> 1:34:33.559 You know, we've got surf where we stick right around 1:34:33.600 --> 1:34:36.160 to the Atlantic down there. So it's you know, really 1:34:36.160 --> 1:34:38.719 lovely blue. It's cold, I'm going to say it's cold, 1:34:39.080 --> 1:34:43.400 but you know it's just about for about a week 1:34:43.439 --> 1:34:45.640 in the summer. You can get in with your board shorts. 1:34:45.960 --> 1:34:49.479 Oh boys, it's not bad. And is it far from 1:34:49.520 --> 1:34:50.000 your home? 1:34:51.080 --> 1:34:54.320 Yes, probably about three hour drive my home, so you 1:34:54.320 --> 1:34:55.439 can go home every weekend. 1:34:55.800 --> 1:34:56.840 Oh wow, that's good. 1:34:57.560 --> 1:35:00.200 Yeah, it's okay, it's not too bad. So it's it 1:35:00.240 --> 1:35:02.400 beats you know some of the locations I've filmed in. 1:35:02.920 --> 1:35:03.960 Yeah, and go and see the. 1:35:04.000 --> 1:35:06.120 Kids and I actually my kids are even in this 1:35:06.240 --> 1:35:07.360 series as well, so. 1:35:07.600 --> 1:35:12.840 Oh, fantastic, fantastic. Isn't that wonderful? Actually I was reading 1:35:12.880 --> 1:35:16.200 about the some of the episodes, and until your time 1:35:16.280 --> 1:35:18.720 me that about Devon and Cornwall, I didn't realize. But 1:35:19.280 --> 1:35:22.639 a body's discovered in a river on the county border, 1:35:23.280 --> 1:35:27.720 so you've got to collaborate with with Cornish counterparts. So 1:35:27.840 --> 1:35:32.160 now knowing that, that makes life very interesting, I imagine. 1:35:32.680 --> 1:35:32.880 Yeah. 1:35:32.920 --> 1:35:35.719 Yeah, And also there's there's a there's a brilliant scene 1:35:35.760 --> 1:35:38.599 with the whole scone thing going on as well.

Over the last weeks, we've seen and you've seen, 1:44:28.040 --> 1:44:32.280 doubt several stories about the side effects. And I'm not 1:44:32.320 --> 1:44:35.160 a doctor, but i know how to get in contact 1:44:35.160 --> 1:44:38.360 with doctors that know these things.

Only a handful 1:45:39.200 --> 1:45:43.200 of people have reported problems, but still there are reports 1:45:43.240 --> 1:45:46.719 to the call the therapeutic goods association of vision loss 1:45:47.680 --> 1:45:51.439 and partial blindness by some people, although we're still not 1:45:52.040 --> 1:45:56.479 absolutely clear it's linked entirely to the medication. Could be 1:45:56.560 --> 1:46:00.839 due to other conditions such as their diabetes, leak problems, 1:46:00.920 --> 1:46:03.280 even high blood pressure. But I think it's a watching 1:46:03.320 --> 1:46:04.920 brief that we need to be careful. 1:46:04.640 --> 1:46:07.439 Of now for those that don't know fully or don't 1:46:07.479 --> 1:46:11.960 understand fully what these medications can do, they seem to 1:46:12.000 --> 1:46:15.840 me to be widely lauded because they help people I 1:46:15.880 --> 1:46:19.799 think essentially with diabetes, don't they And they also assist 1:46:19.840 --> 1:46:21.479 in weight loss, is that right? 1:46:22.080 --> 1:46:24.880 Yeah, there's two different types available, as you mentioned, a 1:46:26.400 --> 1:46:30.519 medication called ozempic, but the drone is called semiglue type. 1:46:30.520 --> 1:46:33.200 It comes in two forms, one for people with diabetes 1:46:33.439 --> 1:46:37.400 and another form called wajovi which is used for managing overweight, 1:46:37.479 --> 1:46:41.240 no obesity, and different dosages, so there are different types 1:46:41.240 --> 1:46:41.880 of people. 1:46:41.640 --> 1:46:44.840 On them, right, And are they injected? Is it an 1:46:45.000 --> 1:46:46.320 oral medication? What is it? 1:46:47.000 --> 1:46:47.200 Yeah? 1:46:47.320 --> 1:46:51.760 Interesting you asked that it's once weekly injections, so yeah, 1:46:51.800 --> 1:46:56.479 people usually manage that themselves after instruction with a GP 1:46:56.640 --> 1:46:59.880 which is important. It should be done through a knowledge 1:46:59.880 --> 1:47:01.920 of GPR specialist of course. 1:47:02.240 --> 1:47:07.799 And in relation to its use, is the weight loss 1:47:07.920 --> 1:47:13.880 aspect of the medication was it discovered primarily or was 1:47:13.920 --> 1:47:17.360 it the ability to assist with diabetes that was the 1:47:17.720 --> 1:47:20.320 initial motivator as to why this was such a good thing? 1:47:21.080 --> 1:47:22.240 A really good question, Lok. 1:47:22.320 --> 1:47:24.639 Way back when the studies were first done, of because 1:47:24.760 --> 1:47:28.960 timed and targeted at people with diabetes, but they found 1:47:28.960 --> 1:47:32.479 that people diabetes lost weight. But then they did further 1:47:32.520 --> 1:47:35.280 studies on people without diabetes and they also lost weight. 1:47:35.400 --> 1:47:38.160 So you know, there are key aspects they can lower 1:47:38.160 --> 1:47:40.960 blood gluecose levels and help weight with people diabetes, which 1:47:41.000 --> 1:47:44.559 is type two diabetes, which is good, but then also 1:47:44.600 --> 1:47:47.479 people the abeste. Now they've been shown to not only 1:47:47.520 --> 1:47:49.920 lose weight, but also there are aspects where they might 1:47:49.960 --> 1:47:54.479 help people with heart disease and who are obese and 1:47:54.600 --> 1:47:57.759 help protect them as well. So amazing sort of development 1:47:57.760 --> 1:47:58.559 of these medicators. 1:47:58.600 --> 1:48:00.680 Yeah, look, I've seen the and I don't know if 1:48:00.720 --> 1:48:04.000 this is a thing, but o zempic blindness and when 1:48:04.040 --> 1:48:07.000 you say something like that, it's you know, it's quite 1:48:07.080 --> 1:48:11.000 challenging if you're on that medication to actually hear that is, 1:48:11.479 --> 1:48:14.519 But am I able to make the point that this 1:48:14.640 --> 1:48:17.559 is in such a small number of cases. I mean 1:48:17.560 --> 1:48:19.519 as a matter of the patient and doctor, of course, 1:48:19.560 --> 1:48:23.320 but it's not something that is significant or shouldn't be 1:48:23.400 --> 1:48:26.280 significant in the mind of listeners. How do you respond 1:48:26.280 --> 1:48:27.840 to that, Luke? 1:48:27.880 --> 1:48:30.880 I think if you're using any medication, you and I 1:48:31.000 --> 1:48:33.479 and your listeners, you know, keep in touch with your 1:48:33.560 --> 1:48:37.200 knowledgeable GP about you know what the medication can do, 1:48:37.560 --> 1:48:41.240 what are the potential side effects, and you've illustrated that 1:48:41.280 --> 1:48:43.479 these side effects that are being shown up are probably 1:48:43.600 --> 1:48:46.160 very rare. So if you've got a good GP, there's 1:48:46.160 --> 1:48:49.639 no subjecute with you working with your GP talking about 1:48:49.920 --> 1:48:53.200 how I use this medication for the condition that I've 1:48:53.240 --> 1:48:56.639 been prescribed for, but also notify them if they've got problems. 1:48:56.640 --> 1:48:58.599 Are you concerned about your eyesight? Have you had your 1:48:58.600 --> 1:49:01.920 eyesight check for instance? That's that's the safe model of 1:49:02.040 --> 1:49:06.840 using these medications. And also with the hepatites called deliver inflammation, 1:49:07.280 --> 1:49:10.640 you've got excessive vomiting, you're not tolerating COUDE as well 1:49:10.680 --> 1:49:13.360 as you should. Should you just talk to your knowledgeable GP, 1:49:13.560 --> 1:49:16.280 work with your GP and utilize the medication because they've 1:49:16.280 --> 1:49:19.920 got benefits as I mentioned, but also prevent yourself from 1:49:19.920 --> 1:49:20.879 getting any problems. 1:49:21.080 --> 1:49:24.479 So I mean, that's that's just common sense, isn't a garry. 1:49:24.560 --> 1:49:28.639 It's okay, so that the doctor decides that this might 1:49:28.720 --> 1:49:31.560 be a good thing for you if you if you 1:49:31.640 --> 1:49:34.400 then have it and you feel that things aren't right, 1:49:34.560 --> 1:49:37.320 then you know, I just don't sit it out. Actually 1:49:37.439 --> 1:49:39.519 raise the issue with the GP. Is that what we're saying? 1:49:40.160 --> 1:49:42.400 Yes, and you know, work with the GP, and are 1:49:42.439 --> 1:49:44.439 there some things that I need to do before I 1:49:44.520 --> 1:49:47.160 start the medication? Should I work with my GP to 1:49:47.200 --> 1:49:49.599 have a good comprehensive health check if I'm using it 1:49:49.640 --> 1:49:54.479 for diabetes or even weight loss, and notify of any change. 1:49:54.479 --> 1:49:57.639 A GP is able to support you all the way through, 1:49:58.040 --> 1:50:00.439 and you know, so that we don't get intobbles and 1:50:00.560 --> 1:50:03.240 also we can prevent further problems if anything arise. 1:50:03.560 --> 1:50:06.400 Great doctor Gary Deed, Chair of the ra C GP 1:50:06.600 --> 1:50:10.439 Specific Interests Diabetes Group. I appreciate your time and enjoy 1:50:10.479 --> 1:50:13.120 the rest of the day. Thank you, Gary, Stay healthy, 1:50:13.200 --> 1:50:16.519 bye bye bye. Yeah you too. Well, well, I mean 1:50:16.560 --> 1:50:20.880 there you go. I actually said to my doctor. I 1:50:21.000 --> 1:50:24.240 said we were talking about this drug drug because we 1:50:25.920 --> 1:50:27.920 I don't pretend to be anything I'm not, but we 1:50:28.120 --> 1:50:29.680 you know, I say, oh, look I saw something on 1:50:29.720 --> 1:50:31.479 this the other day. What do you reckon? And I 1:50:31.560 --> 1:50:35.639 said to him, hey, doctor, you reckon this osembic works? 1:50:35.840 --> 1:50:38.920 Do you think He said, maybe it's not what I think. 1:50:39.200 --> 1:50:42.360 I know the evidence is there, and I said, well, 1:50:42.400 --> 1:50:45.679 what about side effects and things? We said, well that's 1:50:45.720 --> 1:50:49.800 where you know you have to monitor. I know this 1:50:49.880 --> 1:50:53.240 is a really good medication. You get your own advice. 1:50:53.240 --> 1:50:55.479 I'm telling you what happened to me. But there will 1:50:55.520 --> 1:50:57.840 be side effects. But you know, if you have it 1:50:57.880 --> 1:51:00.920 and it doesn't work, aap mate, then you can ring me. 1:51:01.720 --> 1:51:04.480 I don't use it. But we're just having a conversation. 1:51:04.640 --> 1:51:06.679 And when you see these reports, I think you're entitled 1:51:06.720 --> 1:51:09.200 to say, well hang on. Of course there's a lot 1:51:09.200 --> 1:51:11.599 of noise about it, and probably for good reason. It's 1:51:11.640 --> 1:51:13.960 coming up to Ford to midday. Jim Haines is here 1:51:14.000 --> 1:51:17.720 after the news talking movies. I'm just aware that the 1:51:17.800 --> 1:51:22.120 Coalition has demanded Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke provide a 1:51:22.160 --> 1:51:27.080 detailed statement of reasons as to why Israelis speaker and 1:51:27.200 --> 1:51:31.680 technology expert HELLL Foold, born in New York, has had 1:51:31.720 --> 1:51:37.080 his visa revote. In a decision statement, Burke cited Islamophobia 1:51:37.360 --> 1:51:44.240 rehetoric which risked inciting accord against Australia's Muslim population. It 1:51:44.400 --> 1:51:47.439 was set to speak at fundraising events in Sydney and Melbourne. 1:51:47.479 --> 1:52:05.080 More on that coming up after the News which is next. 1:52:06.520 --> 1:52:08.040 Low Cross Australia. 1:52:08.160 --> 1:52:10.599 It's back to weekends with look. 1:52:10.479 --> 1:52:16.520 Grant, good day. Hope you will on this Sunday afternoon, 1:52:17.000 --> 1:52:18.760 the eighth day of June, the middle of the long 1:52:18.800 --> 1:52:22.639 weekend in New South Wales and the Act gad A Canbra. 1:52:22.680 --> 1:52:24.800 Thank you for joining us on two Double C for 1:52:24.840 --> 1:52:27.320 the first time today and it's back to work in 1:52:27.400 --> 1:52:31.160 Brisbane tomorrow for our four BC listeners wherever you are, 1:52:31.200 --> 1:52:34.439 I hope your Sunday is going well. Thanks for all 1:52:34.479 --> 1:52:36.640 the feedback today. I'll get to some of that in 1:52:36.720 --> 1:52:40.000 a moment or two. But as I mentioned earlier, violent 1:52:40.080 --> 1:52:45.160 protests have erupted in Los Angeles over the immigration raids 1:52:45.200 --> 1:52:51.320 at the Trump government. If you will has set out 1:52:51.320 --> 1:52:53.840 in both LA and I think New York. Now the 1:52:53.960 --> 1:52:57.599 National Guard will be deployed to LA with California Governor 1:52:57.640 --> 1:53:03.960 Gavin Newsom confirming the Trump administrations deploying two thousand soldiers. 1:53:04.080 --> 1:53:06.840 I don't know if anyone should be necessarily surprised by this. 1:53:06.920 --> 1:53:12.639 I mean, Donald Trump, in part in his election campaign 1:53:12.720 --> 1:53:16.200 made it clear that, you know, immigration and illegal immigration 1:53:16.360 --> 1:53:19.000 was a thing he was going to deal with. But 1:53:19.080 --> 1:53:23.160 these scenes are very, very concerning. Nine News Lauren to 1:53:23.240 --> 1:53:26.719 MARSI is in l Aine joins me on the line. 1:53:26.760 --> 1:53:28.760 Good day, Lauren, great to talk again. Thank you for 1:53:28.760 --> 1:53:29.920 your tome. What can you tell me? 1:53:31.400 --> 1:53:31.599 Gee? 1:53:31.640 --> 1:53:36.479 Look, these have been quite significant scenes across Los Angeles today. 1:53:36.760 --> 1:53:38.439 I've been in the suburb of. 1:53:38.439 --> 1:53:42.160 Paramount, which is right near Compston. People there have told 1:53:42.200 --> 1:53:44.519 me is the heart of la and that is where 1:53:44.960 --> 1:53:50.759 these protests have really been erupting today with these riot police. 1:53:50.840 --> 1:53:55.200 They've been clashing, they've been firing tear gas at those protesters. 1:53:55.320 --> 1:53:59.080 And just moments ago, we had, as you say, President 1:53:59.120 --> 1:54:03.520 Trump signed a memorandum to deploy two thousand National guardsmen 1:54:04.320 --> 1:54:07.479 into California. So that is quite an extraordinary move to 1:54:07.520 --> 1:54:09.639 has a military moved in on American soil. 1:54:10.200 --> 1:54:14.479 So it is it's extraordinary. What about Trump and Newsom? 1:54:14.600 --> 1:54:18.040 Have they been speaking either together? Or publicly. 1:54:19.600 --> 1:54:19.920 Well. 1:54:20.360 --> 1:54:23.400 Gavin Newsom has taken to social media saying this isn't 1:54:23.400 --> 1:54:26.400 the move that he wanted. This is the Californian National 1:54:26.439 --> 1:54:31.080 Guard which Donald Trump is taking over here and to 1:54:31.120 --> 1:54:34.200 do that he had to sign in that presidential memorandum. 1:54:34.680 --> 1:54:39.280 Gavin Newsom says, that is a purposely inflammatory move that's 1:54:39.320 --> 1:54:42.520 only going to escalate tensions. And that's certainly something we 1:54:42.600 --> 1:54:45.040 have felt as we've been on the ground in Los 1:54:45.040 --> 1:54:49.680 Angeles today. The agents, the Border Force agents and LAPD 1:54:50.000 --> 1:54:53.640 themselves who aren't actually part of these immigration raids. Just 1:54:53.760 --> 1:54:57.840 seeing those law enforcement on the ground is really inflaming 1:54:57.880 --> 1:55:02.720 the situation for these pro testers who are really upset 1:55:02.760 --> 1:55:05.200 and angry. What is happening in Los Angeles right. 1:55:05.080 --> 1:55:08.960 Now and the same thing or something similar happening on 1:55:09.000 --> 1:55:10.840 the other side of the country in New York City? 1:55:10.880 --> 1:55:11.360 Is that right? 1:55:12.840 --> 1:55:13.040 Yeah? 1:55:13.040 --> 1:55:15.080 There have been scenes in New York City as well, 1:55:15.160 --> 1:55:22.120 similar protests at these immigration detention locations, the ICE headquarters 1:55:22.240 --> 1:55:27.839 ICE standing for Immigration Customs Enforcements. They have been quelled 1:55:27.880 --> 1:55:31.760 down by NYPD. Certainly that is not the case here 1:55:31.800 --> 1:55:35.000 in Los Angeles. As the sun begins to set here, 1:55:35.520 --> 1:55:38.360 it feels like the situation is just it is a 1:55:38.440 --> 1:55:44.280 tinder box waiting to erupt. Even worse than the tension 1:55:44.400 --> 1:55:48.400 and the emotions that we've seen on the ground is Look, 1:55:48.600 --> 1:55:50.160 it's not looking great into the evening. 1:55:50.400 --> 1:55:53.000 No, no, I'm hearing aloud and fear. You can't say 1:55:53.000 --> 1:55:57.400 it ord settle down anytime soon, because obviously Trump's going 1:55:57.440 --> 1:56:00.880 to take a stand. But the people who who I mean, 1:56:00.960 --> 1:56:04.280 California is of the left. We know that, but they're 1:56:04.320 --> 1:56:06.440 not going to say, oh, well, Donald's angry, you better 1:56:06.480 --> 1:56:09.760 go away now. And then it becomes nighttime and then 1:56:09.800 --> 1:56:12.320 more people become involved. I mean, this has got hair 1:56:12.320 --> 1:56:13.440 written all over it, doesn't it. 1:56:14.800 --> 1:56:17.440 Oh, it does. And I mean Los Angeles itself is 1:56:17.440 --> 1:56:20.040 a city of so many migrants. We know that about 1:56:20.120 --> 1:56:24.280 ten percent of the city here are undocumented migrants. They 1:56:24.280 --> 1:56:26.640 make up a huge portion of this city and work 1:56:26.720 --> 1:56:29.000 really well into the city. You can see at the 1:56:29.000 --> 1:56:32.720 Home Depots, which is one of the hardware stores here 1:56:33.040 --> 1:56:36.680 in the United States, there will often be migrants who 1:56:36.680 --> 1:56:38.600 go there looking for day work, and that has been 1:56:38.640 --> 1:56:41.920 one of the target sites of these immigration raids. Donald 1:56:41.920 --> 1:56:46.280 Trump promised that he would crack down on illegal immigration, 1:56:46.800 --> 1:56:49.440 and that is what we are seeing in these surprise raids. 1:56:49.480 --> 1:56:52.120 They weren't expected here in Los Angeles, and I think 1:56:52.160 --> 1:56:56.280 that is what has really rattled a lot of Angelino's here. 1:56:56.560 --> 1:56:59.880 They didn't see them coming, and now these ice agents 1:57:00.120 --> 1:57:02.400 being met with a lot of anger and fury on 1:57:02.440 --> 1:57:02.960 the streets. 1:57:03.040 --> 1:57:06.520 Yeah, Lauren, thanks for that. I know you've been going 1:57:06.560 --> 1:57:08.560 on this story well, it seems to be forever. I've 1:57:08.600 --> 1:57:11.280 seen you on the weekend today, and I'll no doubt 1:57:11.320 --> 1:57:14.280 see you on nine years tonight. Stay safe yourself, and 1:57:14.320 --> 1:57:16.640 thanks so much for updating us on the situation there. 1:57:17.800 --> 1:57:18.760 Thanks so much, Luke. 1:57:18.880 --> 1:57:22.600 Good on you, Lauren Tomarty in the US one three 1:57:22.680 --> 1:57:25.680 one eight seven three, just some feedback. Then I got 1:57:25.720 --> 1:57:28.040 a song to play. Look, the bloke who makes pens 1:57:28.080 --> 1:57:31.040 for Donald must be doing well with all the signing 1:57:31.080 --> 1:57:33.720 he's doing with tariffs and laws and all the other stuff. 1:57:33.840 --> 1:57:35.960 Rob is a very good point. They're a thick pen, 1:57:36.000 --> 1:57:39.520 aren't they. It's almost like they're almost like a texter. 1:57:40.520 --> 1:57:43.360 If that's still in the vocabulary, I assume it is. 1:57:44.080 --> 1:57:47.280 Thank you, Rob very much. Indeed, I can tell you, 1:57:47.400 --> 1:57:51.640 said a listener who will remain anonymous. I've been on 1:57:51.680 --> 1:57:55.480 we Guvey for twelve months. I've lost aden Kilo's changed 1:57:55.480 --> 1:57:58.840 my life dramatically. I'm more active, help chronic back and 1:57:58.920 --> 1:58:01.880 hip paid. Most of all, it's had an effect the 1:58:01.920 --> 1:58:06.520 positive effect on my mental health and well being. My 1:58:06.640 --> 1:58:11.840 GPS also using it with great results. Biggest negative two 1:58:11.920 --> 1:58:15.440 hundred and fifty dollars a week. Thank you for getting 1:58:15.440 --> 1:58:20.000 in touch. Appreciate that. Another listener, so Burke bands in 1:58:20.120 --> 1:58:25.520 Israeli but stays quiet over hate preachers here votes over values. 1:58:26.040 --> 1:58:31.520 But then again, this is the left. Thank you for that, Luke. 1:58:31.640 --> 1:58:34.960 Why is mediocre mens only using Christian church lands to 1:58:35.000 --> 1:58:41.120 solve the immigration housing crisis? Richard? Thank you, Luke. Please 1:58:41.120 --> 1:58:45.600 don't use my name, you can call me Basil. I've 1:58:45.600 --> 1:58:49.840 been using Munjaro for three months, almost lost twenty kilos 1:58:49.880 --> 1:58:52.800 what I was reluctant to get into it, but I 1:58:52.880 --> 1:58:55.360 thought the medical implications of being forty five and one 1:58:55.440 --> 1:58:58.800 hundred and fifty are worse than side effects. I've had 1:58:58.840 --> 1:59:02.280 almost no side effects, eating healthy, going to the gym, 1:59:02.760 --> 1:59:09.360 sleeping better. Wow, that's amazing. Thank you, Basil. A lot 1:59:09.400 --> 1:59:12.640 of people have had great success. Again, I don't want 1:59:12.680 --> 1:59:14.960 to give you the idea that I'm saying oh you 1:59:15.040 --> 1:59:17.240 need to be on this. I'm absolutely not. As I 1:59:17.280 --> 1:59:20.800 always say, it's a matter between you and your doctor. 1:59:20.880 --> 1:59:22.760 But as entitled as I am to tell you of 1:59:22.800 --> 1:59:26.000 the reported side effects, so am I entitled to say 1:59:26.040 --> 1:59:29.680 here are people claiming to have done well, Luke. The 1:59:29.720 --> 1:59:32.280 issue with oozempig is that it hasn't been used for 1:59:32.320 --> 1:59:36.280 long enough a time to provide a clear picture. And 1:59:36.640 --> 1:59:40.760 that's a very fair comment. Thank you for it this one. 1:59:41.080 --> 1:59:43.160 Why would you take a drug when everything it does 1:59:43.200 --> 1:59:47.280 can be done naturally? Anyone can lose weight naturally. By 1:59:47.360 --> 1:59:52.400 the way, GPS are not knowledgeable. My wife has been 1:59:52.440 --> 1:59:56.440 offered ozeenpic since he's not overweight. Well, we don't know 1:59:56.480 --> 2:00:00.480 those circumstances, Neil, but we take you at your work mate, 2:00:00.600 --> 2:00:05.000 if it look things can be done naturally, but not 2:00:05.080 --> 2:00:08.960 everything's easy. And you know I was once of the mind, 2:00:09.280 --> 2:00:12.720 oh just get active and eat less. But if it 2:00:12.800 --> 2:00:14.840 was that easy, everyone would do it, as I say 2:00:14.880 --> 2:00:22.200 in the classics. So some occasionally, some people need help 2:00:22.560 --> 2:00:24.800 and if that gives them help. Again, it's not a 2:00:24.800 --> 2:00:27.240 matter for me. It's a matter of between you and 2:00:27.280 --> 2:00:30.120 your doctor. You can sort that app between yourselves. But 2:00:30.520 --> 2:00:33.360 thank you for the feedback. A body's been located by 2:00:33.440 --> 2:00:36.360 police divers after a search operation for a missing man. 2:00:36.440 --> 2:00:39.680 About twenty to eight this morning, emergency services called to 2:00:39.760 --> 2:00:43.840 Bluefish Point at Manly following reports to thirty three or 2:00:43.840 --> 2:00:46.640 old man had fallen from rocks and into the water 2:00:46.680 --> 2:00:53.120 while fishing with a group offers. Officers rather attended. An 2:00:53.120 --> 2:00:59.440 extensive search operation has been underway, marine rescue tole Ambulance 2:00:59.520 --> 2:01:04.280 rescue helicopter the police diving unit. About ten thirty this morning, 2:01:04.320 --> 2:01:08.040 police divers retrieved a body believed to be that of 2:01:08.080 --> 2:01:11.480 the missing man from water nearby. A report will be 2:01:12.640 --> 2:01:17.440 prepared for the coroner. That's terribly sad again. Police investigating 2:01:17.480 --> 2:01:21.240 a traffic incident at Kuma this morning in Queensland. Initial 2:01:21.280 --> 2:01:25.920 investigations indicate shortly before nine am, a dark BMW exiting 2:01:25.920 --> 2:01:29.240 a calm meat at bet Road and Waterway Drive at 2:01:29.240 --> 2:01:32.480 lost control and struck a group sitting on a barrier. 2:01:33.080 --> 2:01:35.760 A teenage Mail sustained a leg injury, an eighteen year 2:01:35.800 --> 2:01:40.040 old Mail suffered a significant leg injury. That've been taken 2:01:40.080 --> 2:01:43.920 to Gold Coast Hospital. The driver, a twenty year old man, 2:01:43.960 --> 2:01:49.440 has been spoken to by police. Inquiries continue the Forensic 2:01:50.360 --> 2:01:54.440 Crash Unit continued their investigations. We'll see if we can 2:01:54.600 --> 2:02:02.040 update that has I'm GOODAYI look yes, how are you? 2:02:02.120 --> 2:02:02.760 Little good? 2:02:02.760 --> 2:02:02.920 Hell? 2:02:02.960 --> 2:02:03.280 Are you? 2:02:06.400 --> 2:02:09.360 It's pretty bizarre just hearing the report coming from the 2:02:09.480 --> 2:02:12.520 US about people who are protesting. First of all, I 2:02:12.560 --> 2:02:16.360 believe a lot of those protesters sponsored this man. Whatever 2:02:16.440 --> 2:02:18.560 you think of Donald Trump, this man went to the 2:02:18.560 --> 2:02:23.160 election and campaign he will deport illegal immigrants, forget about 2:02:23.200 --> 2:02:26.000 what they are called, or documented or not. And he's 2:02:26.080 --> 2:02:29.080 doing exactly what he's been voted to do. But then 2:02:29.120 --> 2:02:31.440 we've got some people who are protesting and who would 2:02:31.440 --> 2:02:34.760 burn down their cities because he's doing that. Frankly speaking, 2:02:34.840 --> 2:02:37.720 I think that's pretty ludicrous. 2:02:38.040 --> 2:02:39.560 And let me be say this. 2:02:40.000 --> 2:02:41.480 I am an immigrant, yep. 2:02:41.760 --> 2:02:43.760 I know what it took me to come to this country, 2:02:44.640 --> 2:02:46.640 and I know what it took people who I know 2:02:46.720 --> 2:02:49.280 am my friends to get to the US. As I 2:02:49.320 --> 2:02:52.200 speak to you, there are people who have been on 2:02:52.240 --> 2:02:55.720 the queue to go to the US for twelve years. 2:02:56.160 --> 2:02:58.600 Part of the people in families that I know, have 2:02:58.760 --> 2:03:02.360 died waiting on the queue. They've got families in the 2:03:02.480 --> 2:03:05.760 US waiting on the quito buy there on time. 2:03:05.920 --> 2:03:07.360 And to go to the US. 2:03:07.800 --> 2:03:10.200 But some people think that they can break the rules, 2:03:10.240 --> 2:03:12.520 bring the law of the country and just walk into 2:03:12.560 --> 2:03:15.320 those countries. What the bloody hell should they see? 2:03:15.560 --> 2:03:18.839 Well, you know what, now I can hear the passion. 2:03:19.280 --> 2:03:22.000 It's Unfurstly, thank you for listening to our show, and secondly, 2:03:22.040 --> 2:03:26.160 thank you for ringing. And that's exactly the point I mean, 2:03:26.200 --> 2:03:29.800 you have, don't you. You have rules, you have laws, 2:03:30.640 --> 2:03:33.720 and they're there for good reasons, and partly to have 2:03:34.000 --> 2:03:38.440 order amongst the community, whether that be the laws of 2:03:38.440 --> 2:03:42.400 the land dealing with people's behavior, or the laws of 2:03:42.400 --> 2:03:45.560 a country which lay at How you if you want 2:03:45.600 --> 2:03:49.120 to go to that country and participate as a constituent, 2:03:50.400 --> 2:03:52.560 how you follow that process? Now you can't just turn up, 2:03:52.600 --> 2:03:56.080 knock on the door, I'm here, and then someone says, 2:03:56.080 --> 2:03:58.560 hang on, there's a queue. There goes back about twelve 2:03:58.640 --> 2:04:01.080 years and see what we get has done. And this 2:04:01.160 --> 2:04:03.920 is what irritates you. You know what Adam me is people say, oh, 2:04:03.960 --> 2:04:07.400 there's no queue. There is a damn Q. It's full 2:04:07.400 --> 2:04:10.600 of people that want to do it properly. And you're 2:04:10.680 --> 2:04:13.160 right about Trump. I mean, no one should be surprised 2:04:13.160 --> 2:04:16.440 by all of this and let's hope people take the 2:04:16.440 --> 2:04:19.320 appropriate degree of chill pills and get through it. Thank 2:04:19.360 --> 2:04:21.680 you for calling, mate, I appreciate it very much. Indeed, 2:04:22.160 --> 2:04:28.360 it's nineteen after midday on two GB, four BC and 2:04:28.400 --> 2:04:32.200 two double C.

And last week what a what a wow 2:08:12.800 --> 2:08:15.960 of a program it was because we had Lorraine call in, 2:08:16.040 --> 2:08:19.920 whose parents actually owned the rialto in Brisbane, Brisbane. One 2:08:19.960 --> 2:08:23.240 of our questions about all the Greek movies. But Lorraine 2:08:23.240 --> 2:08:26.680 didn't leave an address, So Lorraine, you know, and how 2:08:26.720 --> 2:08:28.680 typical is it? Luke I tried to put in a 2:08:28.760 --> 2:08:31.760 question for Brisbane listeners and Lorraine wins it. And she 2:08:31.840 --> 2:08:36.879 lives in Sydney. Lorraine, tell us your address. 2:08:39.240 --> 2:08:40.400 Have we got questions today? 2:08:40.520 --> 2:08:40.880 We have? 2:08:41.520 --> 2:08:44.480 And this is the usual, the pack, the book, the CDs. 2:08:45.280 --> 2:08:49.000 Now this is for Brisbane listeners. Okay, Brisley listeners. I 2:08:49.080 --> 2:08:52.160 want you to name the two science fiction fantasy movies 2:08:52.200 --> 2:08:55.880 that were made in Brisbane and the Gold Coast. And 2:08:55.960 --> 2:08:58.520 one was about a superhero. And I'll tell you where 2:08:58.560 --> 2:09:01.080 it was filmed around Brisbane may have been an extra 2:09:01.240 --> 2:09:04.200 in this. It was filmed at the University of Technology, 2:09:04.240 --> 2:09:07.880 the Queensland University, the William Jolly Bridge. It was filmed 2:09:07.880 --> 2:09:10.680 at a factory and pink and bar and at Churchy 2:09:10.800 --> 2:09:13.240 And for those who don't live in Brisbane, Churchy is 2:09:13.280 --> 2:09:18.200 a famous school of England Grammar School in Brisbane. And 2:09:18.480 --> 2:09:23.480 the second movie, which was also a fantasy movie, it 2:09:23.560 --> 2:09:26.000 was filmed at the Gold Coast and it's about The 2:09:26.040 --> 2:09:28.480 movie starts off Luke with a painting. The kids are 2:09:28.520 --> 2:09:30.240 looking at a painting of a ship on the wall 2:09:30.280 --> 2:09:33.920 and suddenly it comes alive and they get flooded and 2:09:33.960 --> 2:09:37.720 they end up going through a magical portal to the 2:09:37.720 --> 2:09:39.600 Gold Coast. And who wouldn't want to do? 2:09:39.600 --> 2:09:39.760 Who? 2:09:41.120 --> 2:09:42.040 If you know the. 2:09:41.880 --> 2:09:45.680 Two movies, both movies, you'll get the Jim Haynes package 2:09:45.720 --> 2:09:48.400 And for Sydney listeners, here we go. It's one of 2:09:48.440 --> 2:09:53.280 my favorite characters. Luke Colonel Barney, Barney the builder. He 2:09:53.400 --> 2:09:56.920 built just about everything in Sydney, built the semi circular Key, 2:09:57.320 --> 2:10:01.040 he built Victoria Barracks, he built all the gun in placements. 2:10:01.480 --> 2:10:05.920 But he built two useless fortresses in Sydney that cost 2:10:05.920 --> 2:10:08.400 an enormous amount of money and the British government went 2:10:08.440 --> 2:10:13.440 off there. They went bonkers because of the expense and 2:10:13.560 --> 2:10:18.000 these two forts were never used. They were completely useless 2:10:18.160 --> 2:10:22.640 until two movies were made, one about one of them 2:10:22.680 --> 2:10:25.560 in nineteen fifty nine used one of them, and the 2:10:25.680 --> 2:10:28.600 other one was used in a movie in two thousand. 2:10:28.960 --> 2:10:32.280 So where are the forts and what are the movies? 2:10:32.760 --> 2:10:35.280 And that's for our Sydney listeners. 2:10:34.920 --> 2:10:36.840 Right, three, one, eight seven three? 2:10:37.080 --> 2:10:39.720 And if you were an extra in any of those movies, 2:10:39.960 --> 2:10:42.040 I want people to ring in and tell us what 2:10:42.080 --> 2:10:44.760 it was like being an extra in all of Because 2:10:44.760 --> 2:10:46.320 they're making so many movies. 2:10:46.400 --> 2:10:48.640 Have you been in a movie? 2:10:49.040 --> 2:10:51.880 No, I've been on TV quite a bit, but I 2:10:51.920 --> 2:10:55.280 don't think I've never No, I can't never in an 2:10:55.320 --> 2:10:58.720 actual movie.

It was from 2:14:10.240 --> 2:14:14.040 nineteen seventy four. A motorcycle gang cracks down the people, 2:14:14.120 --> 2:14:16.440 killing them off one by one after one of their members. 2:14:16.560 --> 2:14:21.440 Witnesses are political.

It was all done in Braidle, 2:15:39.520 --> 2:15:41.480 or just out of Brady where I was filmed, but 2:15:42.120 --> 2:15:45.680 main street of Braidwood in those days. The movie they 2:15:45.760 --> 2:15:49.440 covered it in soil. The whole main street yep was 2:15:49.480 --> 2:15:51.880 covered in soil, so they made it look like the 2:15:52.080 --> 2:15:55.200 old times, but were out on a property and I 2:15:55.440 --> 2:15:59.640 hired them a white bull, white erapant that was a 2:15:59.680 --> 2:16:02.680 white as the snow. Anyhow, the story was that there 2:16:02.680 --> 2:16:05.560 was aly a young bull that wouldn't lead to well, 2:16:06.160 --> 2:16:09.080 and the stunt men that were riding it, not me 2:16:10.000 --> 2:16:12.000 riding the bull, and the bloke that was leading it 2:16:12.040 --> 2:16:15.280 couldn't lead it, and the ball kept breaking away. So 2:16:15.440 --> 2:16:18.520 the big Pommy at the Big Pummy director said to me, Barry, 2:16:19.040 --> 2:16:21.680 will you lead it?

He tried to 2:16:31.960 --> 2:16:34.760 break away the ball. I kept turning him around. I 2:16:35.080 --> 2:16:37.840 have to say, Mick Jagger was one of the biggest 2:16:37.879 --> 2:16:43.920 pigs of a man I've ever met, and that no ball. 2:16:44.720 --> 2:16:47.320 Now, listen what you should have done.
