Speaker 1: Whoa across Australia. This is Weekends with Luke Grant.
Speaker 2: But you gotta keep your.
Speaker 3: Head up then you can let your hand up. You
Speaker 3: gotta keep your head.
Speaker 2: Up, then you colects your hand up.
Speaker 3: I know it's no it's all to remember sometimes.
Speaker 4: But you gotta keep your head up.
Speaker 3: Then you can let your head down.
Speaker 2: Good morning, Welcome to Weekends with Luke Grant. It's great
Speaker 2: to be with you on two GB in Sydney, four
Speaker 2: BC in Brisbane and via the two GB app and
Speaker 2: the four BC app to listeners all around Australia on Sunday,
Speaker 2: the eighth of June. Winter is in full force for
Speaker 2: many parts of our great country today. There's been up
Speaker 2: to seven inches of snow and some of the key
Speaker 2: resorts in the last twenty four hours and we've got
Speaker 2: single digit tops I say single digit diet to tops,
Speaker 2: even in Canberra and for Sydney in the mid teens.
Speaker 2: That's where we find ourselves today. There's a sheep gravti
Speaker 2: is warning for cold tempts, rain and showers westerly winds
Speaker 2: expected during today and tomorrow, with areas likely to be
Speaker 2: affected including large parts of New South Wales and the
Speaker 2: acteat even extends even extends to parts of the mid
Speaker 2: North Coast, the Hunter even the Illawarra and South Coast
Speaker 2: forecast districts. There is that risk of loss of lamb
Speaker 2: and sheep exposed to these conditions. It's it's winter in Australia.
Speaker 2: Rug up in those areas, or get yourself to Queensland
Speaker 2: Brisbane today sunny and twenty three. Now allow me, if
Speaker 2: you will, to break with what is normal on this
Speaker 2: show by speaking to a distinguished guest on this King's
Speaker 2: Birthday long weekend in many states and territories, except notably
Speaker 2: Queensland and w Way. For my Sydney listeners and those
Speaker 2: visiting the Harbour City, a wonderful event that is a
Speaker 2: must I reckon today. Everyone's invited to come to Government
Speaker 2: House as the Governor marks the King's Birthday at Sydney's
Speaker 2: Castle by the Harbor. The event is on from ten
Speaker 2: this morning until three this afternoon and importantly entry is
Speaker 2: free of charge. But as you'd understand, there's no parking
Speaker 2: on site, so probably public transport is your friend here. Now,
Speaker 2: amongst other things, you can enjoy the music of the
Speaker 2: Australian Army Band, you can explore the spectacular state rooms,
Speaker 2: even see the dining table dressed for a vice regal occasion.
Speaker 2: And you can have a picnic in the gardens. How wonderful.
Speaker 2: So who best to talk about the King's birthday at
Speaker 2: the house. Let me say a very good morning to
Speaker 2: her excellency, the Honorable Margaret Beasley, Governor of New South Wales,
Speaker 2: who is on the line. Governor. An honor to be
Speaker 2: speaking to you today. I hope you.
Speaker 5: Will good morning, Luke, very well and really excited to
Speaker 5: see welcoming everybody who wants to become the Government House
Speaker 5: today because it'll be a beautiful day.
Speaker 2: It will.
Speaker 5: I've been out and I've looked at the harbor, the
Speaker 5: sun of sparkling of the waters. It is a little crisp.
Speaker 5: So the best advice is certainly to rug up, but
Speaker 5: can't have a picnic in the gardens. It's just a wonderful.
Speaker 2: Day, a wonderful opportunity for people to see the castle
Speaker 2: by the harbor close up with their very whole knives,
Speaker 2: and the history is remarkable. This is your official residence
Speaker 2: and office. You're the twenty eighth governor to occupy this
Speaker 2: Government House. You've been governor I think since May and
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen in the sixties, you've been there. I'm sure
Speaker 2: you have a favorite place, do you in the house
Speaker 2: to unwind, or perhaps a view you never get tired of.
Speaker 5: It's got to be the morning view, Luke. It's just beautiful.
Speaker 5: I'm very fortunate that the residents, which I have to
Speaker 5: assure people, does not look like the state rooms. So
Speaker 5: the staterooms are something else to be seen. But the
Speaker 5: residents still look out to the east and so every
Speaker 5: morning that's some comes up round about five five point
Speaker 5: thirty and it is spectacular.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the history is fascinating. In seventeen eighty eight, the
Speaker 2: first Governor of the Colony of New South Wales, Arthur
Speaker 2: philippilaid the foundations of the first government House. I think
Speaker 2: the building located then in Bridge Street. In eighteen thirty six,
Speaker 2: construction finally began on a new government house. The new
Speaker 2: building influenced in its location and architectural style by the
Speaker 2: existing Governor's stables. They were completed in eighteen twenty one.
Speaker 2: Now the Conservatorium of Music, Locally quarried sandstone was used
Speaker 2: for the construction. It was designed by Edward Blow, architect
Speaker 2: to William the fourth and Queen Victoria. He'd recently built
Speaker 2: the British Houses of Parliament, so there's a kind of
Speaker 2: a unity in design there. And after years of delay,
Speaker 2: really in budget over runs, the house was completed in
Speaker 2: eighteen forty five and that's when Governor Sir George Gibbs,
Speaker 2: the ninth Governor of the state, and his wife took
Speaker 2: up residents. Now, of course it's been extended, refurbished and
Speaker 2: the like. But today I'm right, Governor right, I'm saying
Speaker 2: it holds a significant collection of portraits and furniture and
Speaker 2: decorative arts and memorabilia as a result of the vice
Speaker 2: regal patronage. That's true, isn't it?
Speaker 5: Certainly? And indeed the portraits are very interesting. They're big,
Speaker 5: and they're old, and they line the hallway. But we
Speaker 5: are the only government house in Australia that has a
Speaker 5: portrait of every governor since seventeen eighty eight, and that
Speaker 5: in itself is very interesting. But it also in many
Speaker 5: ways tells you part of the history of not only
Speaker 5: the House, but indeed of the of the State of
Speaker 5: New South Wales. Has it been developed and of course
Speaker 5: became part of the Commonwealth, so it is very interesting
Speaker 5: and we use the portraits our guides here. I have
Speaker 5: to tell your listeners are just wonderful, and they're wonderful
Speaker 5: and they're friendly and they're inderformative and they often use
Speaker 5: the portraits to tell a particular part of the history,
Speaker 5: not only of the house but of New South Wales generally.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you mentioned for listeners potentially going along to enjoy
Speaker 2: the gardens with a picnic. There'll be the Australian Army
Speaker 2: Band there. I'll played midday one and a two pm.
Speaker 2: State rooms will be open for expiration slash inspection and
Speaker 2: the dining table dressed for a vice regal occasion I
Speaker 2: can only imagine, but there will also be guide dog
Speaker 2: handlers and the like. There's a two meter kings Cipher.
Speaker 2: People are encouraged to take a selfie there and the
Speaker 2: garden sculpture walk, so there's plenty of things for people
Speaker 2: to do and they're entitled to bring their telephones in
Speaker 2: which there'll be a camera, no doubt. Plenty of long
Speaker 2: lasting memories.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, and that's the way we like to share the
Speaker 5: house with everybody. So these days are wonderful in any ways,
Speaker 5: an extension of our first Sunday of the month Jazz Days,
Speaker 5: when we have our various bands again playing sets from twelve,
Speaker 5: one and two and we invite people in and have
Speaker 5: a picnic. You don't have to book, you don't have
Speaker 5: to pay, obviously, but this is just a little more
Speaker 5: special today with particularly I think with the guide dogs.
Speaker 5: I expect that we'll have today not guide dogs, but
Speaker 5: the companion dogs who are also trained by our guide
Speaker 5: Dogs Missus Wales. And it's just beautiful to see the
Speaker 5: way that the dogs are handled and to see that
Speaker 5: the benefit that they give to people in the community.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, Governor. Thank you for sharing Government House
Speaker 2: with the people and all the best for what lives ahead,
Speaker 2: and thanks for everything you do. And in order to
Speaker 2: talk to you, thank you.
Speaker 5: But look, I need to know when you're coming back.
Speaker 5: You haven't been here since starting seventy seven.
Speaker 2: Well, if I got if the Boss is listening, and
Speaker 2: you could give me a little early mark, I'd be
Speaker 2: delighted to come and see you today. But I'll make
Speaker 2: that a priority for later in the year, no doubt. Again,
Speaker 2: thank you for your time, so wonderful, Thank you, good
Speaker 2: on you. That's the honorable Margaret Beasley, her Excellency, Governor
Speaker 2: of New South Wales. I was there in nineteen seventy
Speaker 2: seven in my school pipe band. I was a drummer
Speaker 2: and the Queen was there with Prince Philip part of
Speaker 2: a I'm sure it was seventy seven or thereabouts. Anyway,
Speaker 2: it was very exciting and the family, oh, lukey's going
Speaker 2: to play for the Queen, and it was a real thrill.
Speaker 2: And I was just too junior to get to meet
Speaker 2: the official party, you know. I could just tell the
Speaker 2: way that q E two was looking at the band
Speaker 2: that she picked out this six foot four side drummer
Speaker 2: and thought I should meet that young man. I was,
Speaker 2: I think fifteen or sixteen at the time. Through the maths. Yes, anyway,

Speaker 2: Now to Cluster Musk, President Trump says his relationship with
Speaker 2: Elon Musk was likely beyond repair after the two sparred publicly,
Speaker 2: of course, on social media this week. We told you
Speaker 2: about that yesterday. He warned there would be quote serious
Speaker 2: consequences unquote if mister Musk financed candidates to run against
Speaker 2: Republicans who voted in favor of the President's domestic policy bill.
Speaker 2: Now to phone interview with the NBC journalist Kristen Welker,
Speaker 2: Trump said he had no plans to speak with Musk,
Speaker 2: calling the tech billionaire disrespectful to the office of president.
Speaker 2: When asked whether he had any desire to repair the relationship,
Speaker 2: he said no. Trump's of at a range of views
Speaker 2: in his conversations over the past days. In some Trump
Speaker 2: has described Musk as somebody who's gone crazy. In others,
Speaker 2: he's expressed sympathy, as if mister Musk were a wayward sun.
Speaker 2: He's told associates that Musk is out of his mind
Speaker 2: on drugs, but at other times he said he wishes
Speaker 2: him well and has seemed to leave open the possibility
Speaker 2: of reconciliation. He's also dangled the threat of canceling contracts
Speaker 2: that Musk's companies have with the federal government. Now, behind
Speaker 2: the scenes, people close to both men have tried to
Speaker 2: brocrade Detonte, and there have been some signs of a
Speaker 2: de escalation. Musk has deleted some of his most incendiary
Speaker 2: social media posts, and Trump has been more restrained by
Speaker 2: his standards. Advisers to Trump say they think the relationship
Speaker 2: will never be the same again. Have to be too bright,
Speaker 2: do you to think that is a likely outcome?
Speaker 6: Here?
Speaker 2: To be Frank, what a cluster? Musk on the show today,
Speaker 2: what a treat Today on the Sunday Sweet leading child
Speaker 2: psychologist Claire Rowe will join me in the studio. There's
Speaker 2: lots to talk about. Australia's foremost gender medicine expert and
Speaker 2: the lead author of the nation's guidelines on gender affirming care,
Speaker 2: Michelle Telfer, was excoriated by a family called judge for
Speaker 2: giving this leading evidence in support of a mother who
Speaker 2: wanted her child to be prescribed puberty blockers. Now that's
Speaker 2: Judge Andrew Strum, who stripped the mother of custody and
Speaker 2: effectively blocked the twelve year old from accessing treatment. Criticized
Speaker 2: the Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne for failing to give the
Speaker 2: child a former gender dysphoria diagnosis until the court proceedings
Speaker 2: had commenced, despite having treated the child for six years. Hello.
Speaker 2: Also of note, a Monrash University study has found that
Speaker 2: fewer than one in five students who experience in his
Speaker 2: family violence disclosed it to a teacher or school counsel law,
Speaker 2: with more skipping school or becoming fearful of authority figures
Speaker 2: with detrimental effects. Many of the more than sixteen hundred
Speaker 2: and fifty young people surveyed who'd experienced domestic and family
Speaker 2: violence said school was a place to avoid, with some
Speaker 2: dropping out entirely or regularly skipping class, reporting they would
Speaker 2: stay home to protect their parents. Can you believe that
Speaker 2: feed someone noticing bruises were unable to concentrate due to
Speaker 2: being kept up by fighting or at lost friendships at school.
Speaker 2: That to me is so sad. I'll also ask Claire
Speaker 2: how a child psychologist might sort out and me call
Speaker 2: it again cluster Musk. Now, on Sundays we put these
Speaker 2: spotlight on an ordinary osti who's achieved extraordinary things. And
Speaker 2: today we have a ripper, well, look to be frank.
Speaker 2: Every week we have a ripper, but a blow called
Speaker 2: Andy Sishn. Not a household name, but he's with plenty
Speaker 2: of them. He's a bass guitarist. He toured with some
Speaker 2: of the biggest names in music. We're talking the likes
Speaker 2: of Shania Twain, Billy Thorpe, Rose Tattoo Hello, currently playing
Speaker 2: his trade with the one and only Billy Joel Hello,
Speaker 2: who we know hasn't been too well of late. We
Speaker 2: actually became aware of Andy after a listener a made
Speaker 2: of Andy's called in to tell us that Billy was
Speaker 2: not in a good way when we wondered how genuine
Speaker 2: the original story was, so we wanted to find out
Speaker 2: more about Andy's story. He's got plenty of stories, and
Speaker 2: he'll talk to me from New York City and tell
Speaker 2: me about life as Andy seeshon. We have been mentioning
Speaker 2: over the past few weeks these reports about people experiencing
Speaker 2: side effects after taking this a zembic medication. It's a
Speaker 2: weight loss thing and Andy diabetes thing. I told you
Speaker 2: last week of the story that claimed o zembic when
Speaker 2: jarro We guvey they're all similar medications had caused drug
Speaker 2: induced teppatitis in some patients. Now, the link between ozenpic
Speaker 2: and hepatitis isn't clearly established at this stage. However, some
Speaker 2: studies are suggesting it may cause potential liver stress or damage,
Speaker 2: and medical experts are saying some patients should get regular checkups.
Speaker 2: And this followed a story from a fortnight ago claiming
Speaker 2: a number of people on these medications were suffering from
Speaker 2: my disorders. The TGAID received ten reports of sudden vision
Speaker 2: loss caused by this got to be confirmed, with eight
Speaker 2: suffering full or partial blindness, two experiencing vision loss in
Speaker 2: one eye. Now, as I've said about this on multiple occasions,
Speaker 2: I'm not giving you any sort of advice. I'm not
Speaker 2: a doctor, but you probably have a doctor or a
Speaker 2: pharmacist and that's a matter for you and him or
Speaker 2: her or them or of course it's twenty twenty five
Speaker 2: it I don't want to suggest he shouldn't take the medication.
Speaker 2: Absolutely not. It's undeniably done a lot of good for many.
Speaker 2: But a show like this has a well I think
Speaker 2: of responsibility to discuss with experts whether potential users should
Speaker 2: see these reports and take them seriously. So the chair
Speaker 2: of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners Specific Interests
Speaker 2: Diabetes Group, doctor Gary Dead, will walk us through all
Speaker 2: of this. Stephen Fennick will join me to talk about
Speaker 2: tech in our second hour. He'll walk us through Tells
Speaker 2: to his new satellite messaging service, now available for tell
Speaker 2: Us to customers on a month to month's mobile plan. Initially,
Speaker 2: it will only work with a device from the Samsung
Speaker 2: Galaxy S twenty five series, but it's believed to also
Speaker 2: work with iPhone fourteen in the next few days. Stephen
Speaker 2: with all the details soon. Jim Haynes in our last
Speaker 2: hour reminiscing about old Australian movies. We are genuine trailblazers,
Speaker 2: it must be said our quiz. All the breaking news
Speaker 2: and again plenty of time to talk to you. The
Speaker 2: open line one three one eight seven three, the text
Speaker 2: zero four six zero eight seven three eight seven three
Speaker 2: and you can email me at TWOGB dot com, FOURBC
Speaker 2: dot com dot au. So that's what we have for
Speaker 2: you today. Thirteen degrees in Sydney right now, eighteen in Brisbane.
Speaker 2: This is weekends with Luke Grant on two GBN four BC. Alrighty,
Speaker 2: plenty of texts. Thank you for those who said global warming?
Speaker 2: What are a load of hogwash? It's called living in Australia. Whatever.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Ronda, thanks very much for your note and
Speaker 2: another saying Luke it was March nineteen seventy seven. The
Speaker 2: Queen was here part of a silver jubilee. Amazing that
Speaker 2: she lived another forty five years to celebrate seventy years.
Speaker 2: She died on my seventieth birthday? Is that right? Ross?
Speaker 2: I will always remember that date, of course you will.
Speaker 2: Thank you Roz for getting in touch. Now. A housing
Speaker 2: crisis update on the the Sabbath courtesy of the Telegraph. Today,
Speaker 2: they say the answer to Sydney's housing crisis could be
Speaker 2: found in divine intervention. Look this will be a punathon.
Speaker 2: Just stay with me here. With Premier Chris Mins urged
Speaker 2: to seek help from a higher power to build well
Speaker 2: located affordable homes. Now, with the Men's government scrambling for
Speaker 2: an alternative to build twenty five thousand homes at Rose
Speaker 2: Hill after that plan disintegrated, underused church land could be
Speaker 2: the answer to mister Min's prayers, warned you. A group
Speaker 2: of faith based organizations now urging Planning Minister Paul Scully
Speaker 2: to change planning rules to let churches build tens of
Speaker 2: thousands of homes on their land. The Sunday Telegraph reveals
Speaker 2: that Premier Men's will look at letting churches build housing developments,
Speaker 2: with the Premier describing the pro proposal as a good idea.
Speaker 2: Across New South Wales, Faith Housing Australia has found seven
Speaker 2: hundred and forty seven faith owned sites within ten minutes
Speaker 2: walk of a train station, which could be turned into
Speaker 2: twenty thousand affordable homes. The organization is calling for Planning
Speaker 2: Minister Paul Scully to allow churches to build homes on
Speaker 2: their land by relaxing zoning rules for places of worship.
Speaker 2: Do you reckon this is a good idea. Currently, homes
Speaker 2: are prohibited from being built on land zoned SP two,
Speaker 2: which is a place of public worship Faith Housing Australia
Speaker 2: chair you'll know this name, Rob Stokes said that could
Speaker 2: be changed with the stroke of a pen. Well he
Speaker 2: knows a former minister. This would allow faith groups to
Speaker 2: build homes on land zone for places of worship. That
Speaker 2: could add twenty thousand homes in some of the best
Speaker 2: located sites in Sydney and other key sites around the state.
Speaker 2: He said. Providing more opportunities for social and affordable housing
Speaker 2: consistent with the mission of faith groups will help address
Speaker 2: an acute community need. Well, I can tell you the
Speaker 2: premiere is well seemingly on board. And if it's a
Speaker 2: stroke of a pen, one might say to old mate
Speaker 2: Rob Stokes, well that you were there long enough, pal,
Speaker 2: why didn't you do it? Well, he's already provided that answer.
Speaker 2: Nobody asked, there you go. Nobody asked me, isn't it funny?
Speaker 2: Everything's so reactionary. Could have gone on the front foot
Speaker 2: just saying Hey, you see that three acres at the back.
Speaker 2: Any chance, with a stroke of a pen, I can
Speaker 2: make that happen. Oh, he wouldn't knock on the way up,
Speaker 2: but you know what I mean. So as an alternative
Speaker 2: to rose Hill, maybe there's that you and I both
Speaker 2: know something has to happen. This may be it. Time
Speaker 2: will tell no Now.
Speaker 1: On weekends the Sunday sweet.
Speaker 7: Looking at the stories of the week.
Speaker 2: Today a real tree joined in the studio by leading
Speaker 2: child psychologists, clear rogue, Good day, love to see you.
Speaker 8: Thank you for having me. I love being in Well.
Speaker 2: Look, we referred to you as a great friend of
Speaker 2: the program. I don't want to just claim that as
Speaker 2: a thing. Are you comfortable with us using that expression,
Speaker 2: because if.
Speaker 8: You are, we can be friends.
Speaker 2: Luke program. See I told you. Let's start here. This
Speaker 2: judge who's lambastterd Michelle Telfer over gender guidelines and the
Speaker 2: report goes Australia's foremost apparently gender medicine expert and lead
Speaker 2: author of the nation's guidelines on gender affirming care, Michelle
Speaker 2: Telfer came under the attention of a family called judge
Speaker 2: for giving misleading evidence in support of a mother who
Speaker 2: wanted her child to be prescribed puberty blockers. This involves
Speaker 2: Judge Andrew Strum, and one of the aspects of this
Speaker 2: which I found concerning was that this child was under
Speaker 2: the treatment of the hospital for I think six years,
Speaker 2: and it was only until the court proceedings had commenced
Speaker 2: that there was some treatment and there was the diagnosis. Now,
Speaker 2: I'm sure these can happen in life, but it just
Speaker 2: doesn't appear to all match up. Tell us about the
Speaker 2: story and what concerns you most.
Speaker 8: Yeah, this judgment that was handed down by Justice Strum
Speaker 8: in the Family Court in April of this year is
Speaker 8: hugely significant both in the family court circles, but also
Speaker 8: for us who have been There is a group of
Speaker 8: US clinicians who have been really trying to speak at
Speaker 8: against what is called gender affirming care and when it
Speaker 8: is used blindly with children and so for listeners. Gender
Speaker 8: affirming care is the treatment that mental health professionals are
Speaker 8: told to use when a child of any age comes
Speaker 8: to us and says, I feel like I'm in the
Speaker 8: wrong body, I'm a boy who I want to be
Speaker 8: a girl. We are to absolutely affirm those thoughts and feelings.
Speaker 8: We are not to challenge them, and in fact we're
Speaker 8: told to help them socially transition to the other gender. Now,
Speaker 8: that might be in the context look of a child
Speaker 8: having a background of significant developmental disorders like autism, mental
Speaker 8: health disorders like this child, and the family court high conflict,
Speaker 8: parental divorce. And in fact, there are clinicians in this state,
Speaker 8: including myself, who, when we want to take a watch
Speaker 8: and wait approach and we want to say let's just
Speaker 8: park the gender issue and let's work on some of
Speaker 8: these other things going on in your life, we have
Speaker 8: been accused of being the ones doing conversion therapy. Funnily enough,
Speaker 8: I know, yeah.
Speaker 2: Did I guess say this? I reckon. I know my
Speaker 2: audience pretty well over many decades. I reckon that they
Speaker 2: would sit with So hang on, you just want to
Speaker 2: part things and have a chat about the bigger issues. Gee,
Speaker 2: that makes sense. That's almost I don't know what's right
Speaker 2: or wrong, but it seems that that, in fact is right.
Speaker 2: It disturbs me to think that you can't even do that.
Speaker 8: Yes, And I think the problem is a lot of
Speaker 8: parents think that they're going to get a very thorough
Speaker 8: and nuanced assessment when they go to these gender clinics
Speaker 8: that are in you know, the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne,
Speaker 8: Sydney Children's Hospital, and they don't. What they get is
Speaker 8: a very fast, medicalized approach. The significance of this judgment
Speaker 8: in April and what happened this week is that Justice
Speaker 8: Strum has allowed for one of the first times experts
Speaker 8: giving evidence in the family court to be named publicly.
Speaker 8: Now that how the ever happens. There are very tight
Speaker 8: orders within family court circles, obviously to protect family's identities.
Speaker 8: For those in the know, like myself, we knew it
Speaker 8: was Professor Michel Telfer when we read the judgment, but
Speaker 8: of course Justice Strum said though it was in the
Speaker 8: public's best interest this week to know the hospital, which
Speaker 8: is the Royal Children's in Melbourne, and Professor Michel Telfer
Speaker 8: is actually the one who has written the national guidelines
Speaker 8: on gender affirming care. Yeah, so she has been absolutely instrumental.
Speaker 8: And I actually have to say congratulations to the Australia newspaper.
Speaker 8: They have been pushing this for six years on stories
Speaker 8: of this and they are the ones who have pushed
Speaker 8: now for the naming of Professor Telfer. So it's a
Speaker 8: watch and wait space. In regards to her position, I
Speaker 8: would argue that it's untenable now for her to continue
Speaker 8: as head of that gender clinic. The public has to
Speaker 8: know what's going on, and we have to return to
Speaker 8: a science led argument. Okay, because gender dysphoria is the
Speaker 8: only condition whereby we are told to lean into the
Speaker 8: delusions and anxieties of a presentation and not challenge them.
Speaker 8: It is the only one that we are told to
Speaker 8: go along with. And if we don't wear the ones
Speaker 8: harming the.
Speaker 2: Children, I'm mentioning you off there that And this goes
Speaker 2: back five years. A mother approached me privately wanting assistance
Speaker 2: to raise this issue because she had so I don't
Speaker 2: know about dead naming and what I can and can't say.
Speaker 2: It's such a complicated area. It don' would offend anyone.
Speaker 2: But she said to me, I'm not naming anyone. Her
Speaker 2: son had suffered extraordinary bullying and was then having some counseling,
Speaker 2: and the conclusion was that her son was in the
Speaker 2: wrong body and was of the wrong gender. And this
Speaker 2: went on for a couple of years, and as a
Speaker 2: caring mother wanted to be involved and was completely locked
Speaker 2: out of the conversation and then of course you hit
Speaker 2: the magic auge and then you are locked out forever.
Speaker 2: And she said it felt to her like the bullying
Speaker 2: and everything else could not be properly treated, so it
Speaker 2: had to be gender. And she thought, you know, what
Speaker 2: the hell are we doing, And once that became a thing,
Speaker 2: she was locked out and it was all you know,
Speaker 2: it must be gender.
Speaker 8: And you're hearing this story from the thousands and thousands
Speaker 8: of detransitioners now, particularly coming out in America, who were saying,
Speaker 8: you know, the abuse that I was copying as a
Speaker 8: child at home was not investigated, the severe bullying was
Speaker 8: not investigated. My eating disorder that I had at the
Speaker 8: time was not investigated. And of course these are children
Speaker 8: at twelve thirteen years old who are looking for, you know,
Speaker 8: belonging an identity, and so they grasp onto this gender
Speaker 8: idea through social media or whatever. And there is a
Speaker 8: contagion effect. No matter what people say, there absolutely is
Speaker 8: a contagion effect to this. And it is our role,
Speaker 8: as supposed to be scientifically led, evidence based professionals, to
Speaker 8: look at what's going on and hold a multitude of
Speaker 8: alternative hypotheses. And that's not being done. We're turning a
Speaker 8: blind eye to all that and pushing kids through a
Speaker 8: lifelong medical route, absolutely lifelong destroying people who are now
Speaker 8: coming out. And of course, legislator, the litigation in the
Speaker 8: US has absolutely gone bananas, with detransitioners now suing and
Speaker 8: that will come here.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. Another issue from the week. Monash University study
Speaker 2: has found that fewer than one in five students who
Speaker 2: experienced family violence disclosed it to a teacher or to
Speaker 2: a school counsel or, with more skipping school or becoming
Speaker 2: fearful of authority figures with detrimental effects. Does that surprise you.
Speaker 8: No, it doesn't surprise me. And that's because some may
Speaker 8: think out there that if you're being abused at home,
Speaker 8: school would be the safe place and somewhere where children
Speaker 8: want to go. But let me be clear. A child
Speaker 8: does not thrive or is unable to learn if they
Speaker 8: are in a state of survival, and so what happens
Speaker 8: is that they very quickly become disengaged from school. I say,
Speaker 8: you can't learn your timetables in a war zone, right,
Speaker 8: so you prioritize the body, prioritizes survival, and so what happens,
Speaker 8: of course is you slip behind academically very very quickly,
Speaker 8: and that's not been a nice place to go. You
Speaker 8: socially become isolated from friends and so yes, being in
Speaker 8: a school environment is very difficult. You also start displaying
Speaker 8: with so called mystery illnesses and excuses not to go.
Speaker 8: You don't want to go if you have physical signs
Speaker 8: of abuse because you don't want to be questioned. Okay,
Speaker 8: And there is a lot of research that shows that
Speaker 8: children who are abused in a home environment with adults
Speaker 8: generalize that to becoming mistrusting with other adults. So it's
Speaker 8: incredibly sad. And of course during COVID times that's why
Speaker 8: this was amplified that not even the one in five
Speaker 8: were being picked up because they were locked inside at
Speaker 8: home and not able to be seen at school at all.
Speaker 8: So it's incredibly sad. But when a child undergoes whether
Speaker 8: that's physical, sexual, or emotional abuse, essentially their nervous system
Speaker 8: is hijacked. They have no cognitive capacity to take on
Speaker 8: new information understandably, and they do in fact, as you
Speaker 8: rightly said earlier this morning, some children sadly want to
Speaker 8: stay at home to protect perhaps another parent.
Speaker 2: That breaks your heart. Doesn't it.
Speaker 8: Particularly early teenage years, you will get you know, fourteen
Speaker 8: year olds, fifteen year olds giving up school to stay
Speaker 8: home to protect you know, a parent who is a
Speaker 8: subject of abuse. Incredibly sad.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it really is. Got that's instructive. You can't learn
Speaker 2: your times tables in a war zone, so if your
Speaker 2: home's a war zone, I mean, very simple words. But
Speaker 2: how wonderful is that? Or understanding gives its a great
Speaker 2: way to understand that. Donald Trump and Elon Musk, Claire
Speaker 2: Roll with Claire leading child psychologists perfect to deal with
Speaker 2: this issue, the cluster Musk. They'll never ever be friends again.
Speaker 2: They can't, can they mean, he's mentioned Nepstein and we're
Speaker 2: now with that equals and Donald's got the He's got
Speaker 2: the the nuclear sized button and everything else at his disposal.
Speaker 2: So he probably wins on the power rankings. And they're done,
Speaker 2: aren't they.
Speaker 8: They've got a big ton. I don't know whether I've
Speaker 8: reached my pay grade here because I mean, this is
Speaker 8: not just political performance. I mean this is absolutely a
Speaker 8: psychological spectacle from my, you know, my point of view
Speaker 8: of two power driven narcissists, you know, out for a
Speaker 8: dominance battle here who are just throwing grenades in the
Speaker 8: form of tweets and social media updates. And that's the thing.
Speaker 8: We've got two men with extremely inflated self images with
Speaker 8: their own fan base who mirror that back to them
Speaker 8: their own sense of importance. And you know, I think
Speaker 8: Trump kind of sees Musk as a threat when he
Speaker 8: comes in with his kind of pseudo libertarian tech speak,
Speaker 8: and he sees that as a threat on his you know,
Speaker 8: political domain, and then of course he fires back with
Speaker 8: these threats of pulling contracts for him. And you know
Speaker 8: that they've got very, very different agendas. Musk with a
Speaker 8: far more physical but globalist I think idea of how
Speaker 8: he's going to save humanity through space travel and AI
Speaker 8: and you know, the tech side of things, and Trump,
Speaker 8: you know, his focus is completely different on America first
Speaker 8: and you know, restoring American American dominance through the working class,
Speaker 8: and that's where his emphasis is. And so I think
Speaker 8: this was always predicted. I'm not sure if it's I
Speaker 8: think it's come earlier, maybe abound six months post inauguration here,
Speaker 8: and it's blown up. It's a very i mean, the
Speaker 8: spectacle past, the popcorn of this is unbelievable if it
Speaker 8: wasn't for the fact that at the end of the
Speaker 8: day the public losers. We've got really important things going on.
Speaker 8: We've got tariff talks with China, We've got nuclear energy
Speaker 8: talks with her. We've got Trump at the moment blocking
Speaker 8: immigration from most Muslim countries and being called racist by Iran.
Speaker 8: And we've got summits soon in Canada where hopefully our
Speaker 8: Prime minister maybe we'll get a chance to speak with
Speaker 8: Trump and that will be interesting on the back of
Speaker 8: all these defense spending tensions, all this stuff going on.
Speaker 8: But what do you think people are going to want
Speaker 8: to click on? This is unbelievable content and this is
Speaker 8: what the media will now focus on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, which we are doing right now. Claire, love
Speaker 2: to see you, Thank you for coming in.
Speaker 8: Thank you so much.
Speaker 2: We talking again soon. Leading to our psychologist Claire Row
Speaker 2: doing great work at the IPA too, Institute of Public Affairs.
Speaker 2: Keep your eye out for that. Wonderful having Claire Row
Speaker 2: in the studio. I have to say, Jim on the
Speaker 2: email says, Luke, get that clear Row on every week.
Speaker 2: She's a bloody ripper. Well, she's got more enjoyable things
Speaker 2: to do in life, but it was great to have
Speaker 2: me here. You're right, thanks so much for getting in touch.
Speaker 2: Violent protests erupted in our a after masked and armed
Speaker 2: federal agents carried out sweeping immigration rage rage rather enforceable, forceful,
Speaker 2: even displays President Donald Trump's crackdown on people without papers.
Speaker 2: In New York City, at least five people were arrested
Speaker 2: as a mob of nearly one hundred protesters tried to
Speaker 2: block federal authorities apparently conducting immigration raids in Lower Manhattan.
Speaker 2: According to police and video from a chaotic scene, agents
Speaker 2: used extreme tactics, they say, conducting unprecedented raids on at
Speaker 2: least three areas of LA to detain dozens of people.
Speaker 2: That story continues. We'll keep an eye on it for you.
Speaker 1: Cross Australia, it's back to weekends with Luke Grant.
Speaker 2: Good morning, Thank you for having a so on. It's
Speaker 2: terrific to be with you here on Sunday, the eighth
Speaker 2: of June. For many listeners, it's the middle of the
Speaker 2: King's Birthday long weekend. Not so much in WA and QLD,
Speaker 2: where it's business as usual tomorrow. In the meantime, a
Speaker 2: cool start to a cold day, many parts of our
Speaker 2: listening area. Thank you for getting in touch on the
Speaker 2: text zero four six zero eight seven three eight seven
Speaker 2: three one three one eight seven three in the open
Speaker 2: line and via the website to two GB, and for
Speaker 2: BC to send me an email. Plenty of people have
Speaker 2: done that. We'll get to those in a moment. A
Speaker 2: taste and nutrition are on the chopping block as Australians
Speaker 2: have started sacrificing both in favor of price, with cost
Speaker 2: of living pressures hitting grocery bills hard. You see the
Speaker 2: idea as just an election issue. The cost of livings
Speaker 2: on a thing, A couple of inchestright carts. Now it's
Speaker 2: all good. According to use called Lighthouse Consumer Tracker polling
Speaker 2: for April, fifty five percent of Australians prioritize price over
Speaker 2: all other factors when making food choices at the supermarket.
Speaker 2: Twenty nine percent consider nutrition and health, fifty one percent
Speaker 2: prioritized flavor. AMA Association President doctor Daniel McMullin says achieving
Speaker 2: a healthy, balanced diet and a cost of living crisis
Speaker 2: could be difficult, but says it was vital to our
Speaker 2: long term physical and mental health. She says if people
Speaker 2: are really going without adequate nutrition. It'd be devastating to
Speaker 2: see the impacts of that in our society. So, you know,
Speaker 2: cost of living crisis anyone. It continues in all sorts
Speaker 2: of different ways. In Queensland, Premier David Chris fullia Is
Speaker 2: slam schools for failing in their duty of care and
Speaker 2: social media giants for allowing porn and other offensive and
Speaker 2: illegal material to remain on their plants. When Premier Christoph
Speaker 2: Foley was contacted about the Good Shepherd Lutheran College in Nuseville,
Speaker 2: which failed to report to police the distribution of pornography
Speaker 2: by students almost three months after being made aware of it,
Speaker 2: he said poor behavior needed to be dealt with immediately.
Speaker 2: No surprise is there, he says. We all have an
Speaker 2: obligation to call this a borring behavior out and take
Speaker 2: action the second that we're aware of it. I mean,
Speaker 2: I know I refer to it well maybe occasionally, but
Speaker 2: it's the behavior you walk past that you mightn't directly,
Speaker 2: but indirectly. You know you're giving that a tick if
Speaker 2: that comes to your attention and you just okay, that's
Speaker 2: not unlike giving it a tick not good enough, He
Speaker 2: told the Career mail. These sickening videos must be taken
Speaker 2: down and it's not a joke or a laughing matter.
Speaker 2: It's serious. He's also blasted social media company saying how
Speaker 2: on earth can social media companies allow this sickening content
Speaker 2: to remain on their platforms Now Last month, Brisbane Boys
Speaker 2: College students shared allegedly serious and potentially illegal nude content
Speaker 2: and a group chat on social media. That case remains
Speaker 2: under investigation and if it's there long enough, you know
Speaker 2: we kind of again the walking past and accepting it's
Speaker 2: oh yeah, that again. Well, it should never get to
Speaker 2: that level, should it. It should never get to that level.
Speaker 2: Senior police a warning of simmering anger within their ranks
Speaker 2: over calls to enlist them in the state that is,
Speaker 2: New South Wales crackdown on the tobacco black market, saying
Speaker 2: it would divert at least five hundred officers from tracking
Speaker 2: organized criminals and high risk domestic violence offenders. Premier Inns
Speaker 2: this week warned police could be forced to step up
Speaker 2: tobacco enforcement unless the Commonwealth government scaled back the tax
Speaker 2: on legal products that had seen the black market explode
Speaker 2: in New South Wales. It's exploded everywhere the idea was
Speaker 2: met with shock at all levels of the force, which
Speaker 2: is short staffed by about four thousand officers. And that's
Speaker 2: another thing. Senior police told The Herald it would take
Speaker 2: five hundred officers full time to inspect, search and enforce
Speaker 2: the laws on an estimated eight thousand retailers. The true
Speaker 2: number of retailers could be much higher. Those officers would
Speaker 2: likely be sourced from proactive squads or general duties, they warned.
Speaker 2: A senior opposite, telling the Herald, we have twenty five
Speaker 2: hundred vacancies, sixteen hundred people of sick. We simply cannot
Speaker 2: do it. Another says we've got an increasing responsibility for
Speaker 2: both domestic and sexual violence. We can't be kicking in
Speaker 2: smoke shops over a tax issue, not to mention the
Speaker 2: gang war. Now we've talked about this issue on this program,
Speaker 2: as you know, for some time, and it is no
Speaker 2: surprise to you, absolutely no surprise to me. This has
Speaker 2: been completely stuffed up. And whilst it will be nothing
Speaker 2: the government seeks to do, you've gone too far. You've
Speaker 2: made it and it was beautifully illustrated I think, by
Speaker 2: my friend James Willison the Telegraph this week. You can
Speaker 2: buy the legal marlbro for fifty please don't smoke for
Speaker 2: fifty eight bucks, or you can get the illegal ones
Speaker 2: from fifteen. Which one would you buy? Now? I just
Speaker 2: told you about a story about buying a healthy food
Speaker 2: or that doesn't come into it. You buy the cheap food.
Speaker 2: So what would you do? And if it was a trickle,
Speaker 2: then maybe you might take a band aid and fix it.
Speaker 2: But it's not. It's everywhere. In fact, I know people
Speaker 2: that smoke. They tell me they don't know anyone that
Speaker 2: buys the legal cigarettes in Australia. They don't. And it's
Speaker 2: simply a matter of fifteen dollars versus fifty eight dollars.
Speaker 2: I say again to you, what would you do? Whatever
Speaker 2: you do, don't smoke. But that's just the reality. So
Speaker 2: we'll take the police away from their duties of keeping
Speaker 2: women and others safe, investigating homicides and the like, and
Speaker 2: get them a knock on the tobacconist. You've got any
Speaker 2: illegal smokes her power right, that'll be two under, don't
Speaker 2: do it again. Next. If it was a trickle, as
Speaker 2: I say, you could, you know, you might be able
Speaker 2: to deal with it. But it's out of control and
Speaker 2: this is purely of the government's making and their advice,
Speaker 2: as of bureaucrats who thought make them really expensive, that'll
Speaker 2: stop people smoking. Well, we'll have the wherewithal to say,
Speaker 2: if smoking's going to kill you, it's illegal. And you
Speaker 2: can't do that with people who smoked for a thousand
Speaker 2: years or whatever it might be. Not that smoking would
Speaker 2: generally lead you to live a life of a thousand years,
Speaker 2: but you know what I mean, pick a date and
Speaker 2: it starts its day unless you are of whatever doctors
Speaker 2: directions or something like that. You can't buy cigarettes unless
Speaker 2: you don't really think it's that bad, in which case
Speaker 2: let's get some heaps of tax and then we'll make
Speaker 2: it look like the oh you shouldn't smoke by making
Speaker 2: them really expensive, because then there won't be a black market.
Speaker 2: I mean, has that gone for you? And you worry
Speaker 2: have people like me hop on a medium like this
Speaker 2: and blow up about stuff like this because you've completely
Speaker 2: screwed it up again. And then you wonder how people
Speaker 2: like me might say, oh, well, Trump is different, he
Speaker 2: might be odd, blah blah blah, but everything else they
Speaker 2: have done doesn't work, so give it a go. That's
Speaker 2: how we just want to see government do something that works.
Speaker 2: And in this area black market cigarettes, you've completely stuffed
Speaker 2: it up, as I said, probably unkindly. Again, well done,
Speaker 2: you quarter past.
Speaker 1: Ten opinions that matter us you can trust and now
Speaker 1: look grant comments.
Speaker 2: Yeah, although I seemingly was commenting then, I was quite
Speaker 2: taken by some work from the Institute of Public Affairs
Speaker 2: through the week. And this is something I've told you
Speaker 2: I'll spend time on because I reckon. I reckon that
Speaker 2: the subsidies have made net zero very attractive to people
Speaker 2: who might have Daddy's billions or other money sitting around.
Speaker 2: And they say in the report they've done. As federal
Speaker 2: government spending on programs related to climate change and net
Speaker 2: zero have soared, rising fifteen fold over a decade and
Speaker 2: more than four hundred percent in the last term of
Speaker 2: Parliament alone, it's making Australians poorer. This according to the
Speaker 2: Institute of Public Affairs chief economist and friend of the
Speaker 2: Program Adam Crichton. New research has aggregated the rising spending
Speaker 2: commitments of the federal government on programs related to or
Speaker 2: focused on climate change and net zero in each federal
Speaker 2: budget over the last decade, and he says while both
Speaker 2: Labor and the Coalition governments have supported policies to achieve
Speaker 2: net zero by twenty fifty, the analysis finds estimated annual
Speaker 2: funding accelerated under the Albanesi government from one point seven
Speaker 2: billion in March twenty two. I just say that again,
Speaker 2: one point seven billion in March twenty twenty two to
Speaker 2: just over nine billion dollars in the most recent budget.
Speaker 2: If climate change spending was consolidated into a single program,
Speaker 2: it would be one of the twenty most expensive federal
Speaker 2: programs at a level currently attributed to air force capabilities.
Speaker 2: The focus on climate change in federal budgets collapsed after
Speaker 2: the Rudd Gillard Rudd government before exploding once again with
Speaker 2: the election of the Albanesi government in twenty twenty two,
Speaker 2: but significantly it subsided before the twenty twenty five election.
Speaker 2: Adam Crichton says analysts have typically ignored the level of
Speaker 2: federal government spending on such programs because spending totals pale
Speaker 2: in comparison to multi trillion dollar cost households and businesses
Speaker 2: face due to the impact of net zero. Yet, he
Speaker 2: says spending on climate change and net zero in the
Speaker 2: most recent federal budget has reached about nine billion dollars annually,
Speaker 2: up from around six hundred million a decade earlier, an
Speaker 2: unbelievable fifteenfold increase. You look at your power bills and
Speaker 2: you see what the government's spending on this, and you
Speaker 2: wonder where the money's coming from. Well, it's coming from you.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's amazing. You look at the way the
Speaker 2: government's given you a hand with your power bills. They
Speaker 2: get to go to work, then collect the tax, then
Speaker 2: they give you some of that money back and say,
Speaker 2: how good. Anyone following this This isn't outrage, But to
Speaker 2: go back to where I started to think that there's
Speaker 2: been an increase to nine billion dollars in the most
Speaker 2: recent federal budget from one point seven in March twenty
Speaker 2: twenty two. And they tell you, and they tell me
Speaker 2: every day of the week, this is the cheapest form
Speaker 2: of power. They're kidding, aren't they. Now I've got a
Speaker 2: ripper for you today, as we shine the spotlight on
Speaker 2: an ordinary do is he doing extraordinary things? A fellow
Speaker 2: called Andy Sashon, not a household name, but jeeves played
Speaker 2: with some He's a bass guitarist, toured with some of
Speaker 2: the biggest names in music. We're talking about here, Billy Thorpe,
Speaker 2: Rose Tattoo, amongst others, Shanai Twain, and his success is
Speaker 2: unsurprising when you hear some of his work like this.
Speaker 2: I'm one of those people that could listen to someone
Speaker 2: play the bass guitar forever. I just it's wonderful. Currently
Speaker 2: playing his trade with the one and only Billy Joel,
Speaker 2: if you don't mind, Billy Joel. And we know we
Speaker 2: mentioned a few weeks ago Billy's not well, and that's
Speaker 2: how we became aware of Andy. After my listener Tom,
Speaker 2: and good on you Tom. He's a mate of Andy's.
Speaker 2: He called in to tell us that Billy wasn't well.
Speaker 2: So I wanted to find out more about the Andy
Speaker 2: Sshon's story. Here's some of his tales playing in New
Speaker 2: York City and around the world. I'm delighted to say
Speaker 2: we find him in the Big Apple today and he's
Speaker 2: on the line. Andy. What a delight to meet you
Speaker 2: on the telephone. I hope things are good.
Speaker 9: Look, it's great, nice to meet you, sir. How was
Speaker 9: my wonderful city? I flew into Sydney for the first
Speaker 9: time in ten years in December, and when you look
Speaker 9: out of that plane window and see the harbor, it
Speaker 9: just takes your breath away. I mean, I lived there
Speaker 9: from eighty four to ninety seven, and it's still just
Speaker 9: one of the goat I mean, top five great cities
Speaker 9: in the world, of the ones I've seen. But I'm good.
Speaker 9: I'm actually not in New York City, which is one
Speaker 9: of my other favorite cities. I'm about one hundred and
Speaker 9: ten miles because I've been here too long now north
Speaker 9: of the city on a beautiful little thirty acre again,
Speaker 9: been here too long, thirty Acre Lake, and it's the
Speaker 9: sun is setting and it's gorgeous as the sun is
Speaker 9: well and truly up in Sydney beautiful.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's up at sixteen degrees. It's a cool day here,
Speaker 2: but it's pretty clear outside. I guess always we started
Speaker 2: at the beginning, and at some point you thought when
Speaker 2: you saw a bass guitar somewhere, or a guitar, see,
Speaker 2: I might give that a go ad. Did it start?
Speaker 2: Was it family that encouraged you or something you just
Speaker 2: wanted to do?
Speaker 9: Yeah, Look, my dad was an amateur player, a trumpet player,
Speaker 9: played violin piano. He started me on piano when I
Speaker 9: was like six, and so I did classical piano until
Speaker 9: I was fifteen and sort of taught myself guitar and
Speaker 9: had actually had a gig with my dad where he
Speaker 9: asked me to read some Herb Albert tunes. I think
Speaker 9: I was thirteen, and so it's the same son as
Speaker 9: a guitar, just an octavelower. Read your way through it,
Speaker 9: you'll be fine. And that was it. That was the
Speaker 9: beginning of the love affair. And so I played around
Speaker 9: Adelaide where I grew up, you know, sort of four
Speaker 9: or five nights a week from fourteen till I was eighteen.
Speaker 9: And then I went and got a real job for
Speaker 9: a while in marine biology at the University of Adelaide,
Speaker 9: until I sat my folks down, made them cry and
Speaker 9: told them I was off to Sydney to join Roase Tattoo.
Speaker 2: Aha. If that's not the best story in the history
Speaker 2: of stories, I don't know what is. How did you
Speaker 2: get to Who did you know in Rose Tattoo? How
Speaker 2: did that happen?
Speaker 9: I didn't know anybody. I didn't know anybody. I cold
Speaker 9: called every management company in Sydney and Melbourne, and I
Speaker 9: the tats I remember the first time I heard rock
Speaker 9: and Roll out Law. Oh yeah, on countdown. I ran
Speaker 9: down the hallway and turned the corner and saw the television.
Speaker 9: We're like, oh my god, they're animals, but man, can
Speaker 9: they rock. So that was that was twenty one, I
Speaker 9: guess I was nearly twenty two and I joined the Tats,
Speaker 9: and you know, my father wept. He said, like, I
Speaker 9: never would have started you on piano if it means,
Speaker 9: you know, you're going to give up the marine biology
Speaker 9: job and it off of Sydney. But you know, first
Speaker 9: first time on countdown, he got over that pretty quickly
Speaker 9: and he was supportive, you know, his entire life of
Speaker 9: what I was doing. So yeah, that's how it started.
Speaker 9: And one thing led to another, and it was Rose
Speaker 9: tattooed to Swanny to James Rains, you know, my own thing,
Speaker 9: and on and on.
Speaker 2: I think I've got Rock and Roll out Law on
Speaker 2: a forty five somewhere, but I've got just this image
Speaker 2: of your own man saying the kid's on countdown wonderful.
Speaker 9: Exactly that you know he would be if we were
Speaker 9: playing an Adelaide whatever band I was in passing through Adelaide,
Speaker 9: you know, you go there for the weekend and play
Speaker 9: four or five nights, and on Sunday night there was
Speaker 9: one venue, the Tivoli Hotel, and I'd go home to
Speaker 9: mom and Dad's for dinner on the Sunday night, and
Speaker 9: on the way out, I'd always say, you know, my dad,
Speaker 9: do you want me to put your name on the door,
Speaker 9: And so no, I know, no, Sonny, I've got to work.
Speaker 9: I've got to work right now. As I walk out
Speaker 9: and go, you know, just in case. Sure enough, you
Speaker 9: could see the front door from the stage and they
Speaker 9: were like, you know, nine hundred thousand crazy ROAs tattoo
Speaker 9: fans and my dad Max would walk in like, you know,
Speaker 9: three songs into the set in the stage. It's a
Speaker 9: great memory.
Speaker 2: That's beautiful, mate, it really is. And you've got to
Speaker 2: be I mean, I don't know, but you must be
Speaker 2: to have been able to play for so long with
Speaker 2: that and those wonderful people in Australia. You must have
Speaker 2: really been at the forefront of bass playing in Australia.
Speaker 2: You must have been.
Speaker 9: So here's the thing, you know, I've always been a
Speaker 9: guy that I didn't care about being a virtuoso. I
Speaker 9: cared about playing in a great band, and I've had
Speaker 9: that the joy of doing that my entire career, which
Speaker 9: is now forty years, you know, I mean from Rose
Speaker 9: Tattoo to then I was Sweany for a little while,
Speaker 9: and then James Ram when he first turned solo for
Speaker 9: those first two albums up until nineteen ninety. Then I
Speaker 9: went out of my own as a frontman singer in
Speaker 9: a band called Judge Mercy, which was kind of a
Speaker 9: hard rock band. We opened for like Iron Maid and
Speaker 9: an Ac DC and.
Speaker 2: Then hang on lit'sten it and brush this mate, that's enormous.
Speaker 10: No, no, it was great. I gave it.
Speaker 9: I gave it four or five years that we had
Speaker 9: an album and an EP and it didn't work in
Speaker 9: the end, but it was no regrets. And then back
Speaker 9: to base. It was back to like you know, Dragon
Speaker 9: Billy Thorpe. And then in ninety seven a buddy of
Speaker 9: mine and made of mine that I'd worked with in Australia,
Speaker 9: Noel Rush, said, look, you know, once you roll the
Speaker 9: dice over here, my couch is your couch, you know,
Speaker 9: come over and roll the dice. And I did, and
Speaker 9: you know it basically did what I when I left
Speaker 9: Adelaide and moved to Sydney. I just I just called
Speaker 9: every management company in the United States from Ada Z
Speaker 9: and I got to l for John Landau, who managed
Speaker 9: Bruce Springsteen and Shania Twain. And the reception said, oh,
Speaker 9: we might be looking for someone for Shania Twain. I
Speaker 9: had no idea who that was. I looked because she
Speaker 9: wasn't she hadn't released the big, the big you know,
Speaker 9: come on. And so I sent my stuff through and
Speaker 9: you know, because of because of the awareness of bands
Speaker 9: like Rose Tattoo and Ice House, who I'd recorded with,
Speaker 9: and and Billy Thorpe, you know, my stuff got listened to.
Speaker 9: And then I auditioned, you know with Mutt Lang, the
Speaker 9: great hard rocks, yeah who did a C d C.
Speaker 9: And Beth Leppard and shaniah and let me just you know,
Speaker 9: this is what sums up my my upbringing in Australia.
Speaker 9: After I'd played the first you know, hour or so,
Speaker 9: he came up to me and said, youzes, you played
Speaker 9: different to any other musicians in the world. Why do
Speaker 9: you think that is? And I said, well, you know,
Speaker 9: I figure you worked with the best rock band from
Speaker 9: our country. You know, a c DC. You know, those
Speaker 9: guys played you know, ten twelve shows a week, doubles
Speaker 9: on Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. I got to play six
Speaker 9: nights a week, you know, pretty much my entire career,
Speaker 9: and that makes you match fit. And you don't get
Speaker 9: that in a rehearsal room. And you couldn't do that
Speaker 9: in Los Angeles or New York or London. But in
Speaker 9: Australia you had our pub rock circuit and you went
Speaker 9: out and you played six nights a week, forty five
Speaker 9: weeks a year, and that's what made makes us play
Speaker 9: a little bit differently. I think the match fit well.
Speaker 2: Mate. I'm loving talking to you. I've got to ask
Speaker 2: you some questions that are probably on the list I
Speaker 2: need to kick off. Tell me about the biggest show
Speaker 2: and biggest crowd you've played in front of.
Speaker 9: In front of the coliseum in Rome with Billy Joel,
Speaker 9: I think it was two thousand and eight, two hundred
Speaker 9: and fifty thousand people in the crowd and live streamed
Speaker 9: live streams on Italian television. You can see it on YouTube.
Speaker 9: Funny because we were on a turntable with Brian Adams
Speaker 9: went on first and then the stage would turn around
Speaker 9: and then we were set up, so it was quick change.
Speaker 9: But during the begin our opening song or here's a
Speaker 9: bald eagle just swimming over the lake, I'm looking at it.
Speaker 11: It's so gorgeous, and go and hit the.
Speaker 9: Wrong button and we got halfway through the first song
Speaker 9: in the stage soted derotat again around the wrong way
Speaker 9: and all the microphone leads. But you can find that
Speaker 9: on YouTube, just look up Billy Joel Rohime. So that
Speaker 9: was the biggest one and a spectacular show.
Speaker 2: Where How did you get to play with Billy?
Speaker 9: I was. I was already in Chennaia. Twain's band had
Speaker 9: been for a year and a half and I was
Speaker 9: New York based and we had mutual friends. He'd actually
Speaker 9: tried to get me to fill in with him back
Speaker 9: in ninety three when he was in Australia on tour
Speaker 9: and his bass player had to go home because his
Speaker 9: parent had died, I think, and I missed the call.
Speaker 9: I didn't have a cell phone, did have a mobile,
Speaker 9: and so I missed four hours of messages on my
Speaker 9: answering machine when I got home to my place in Sydney.
Speaker 9: And at that point they had to go with the
Speaker 9: guy from the opening band, so I had a chance
Speaker 9: in ninety three, so he was aware of me. He
Speaker 9: was aware that through to Friends, I was with Shanai,
Speaker 9: which in the late nineties was the biggest scene the
Speaker 9: album in the world. And so he just asked me
Speaker 9: to fill in and do a couple of songs in
Speaker 9: the studio with him that we use for Runaway Bride
Speaker 9: or something. And then his guy had to take two
Speaker 9: shows off. He had another opportunity. Billy was talking about
Speaker 9: maybe winding it down, and I filled in. I cold
Speaker 9: filled in, like I finished the Shania Twain tour and
Speaker 9: a Sunday after two years of solid touring with her,
Speaker 9: learning Billy songs in the back of the tour bus
Speaker 9: and flew into Saint Louis and with no rehearsal and
Speaker 9: just went up and did it. You know, I did
Speaker 9: my homework. But at soundcheck Billy was like, what do
Speaker 9: you need to run? It's all about you, Tod. I
Speaker 9: thank you for helping out. I'm like, they haven't got it.
Speaker 9: We're pretty much you know up, you know what creek
Speaker 9: without a paddle, And so we played cream most of
Speaker 9: soundcheck and halfway through the set, and I had a
Speaker 9: lot of helpful queuing from the other band members, and
Speaker 9: but halfway through the city just leaned at the guitar.
Speaker 9: I made two quick downstrokes with his hand and launched
Speaker 9: into Good Times Bad Times by led Zeppelin, which luckily
Speaker 9: I knew what he liked. I'd ask people, what else
Speaker 9: does he like? Kareem Hendrix and Zeppelin, So I touched
Speaker 9: on that song. So in front of seventeen thousand people,
Speaker 9: we rocked Good Times Bad Times, And I swear that's
Speaker 9: why I got the gig, not because I knew how
Speaker 9: to play piano, man, because I knew how to play leads.
Speaker 2: Oh that is amazing. Oh mate.
Speaker 9: So I've been with him now for twenty twenty five years.
Speaker 2: Ah, that's extraordinary. And when and when he I'm assuming
Speaker 2: he does the band intro? Does he have special words
Speaker 2: for you? Are you the are you the RC? Or
Speaker 2: how does he refer to you?
Speaker 10: Now? Always?
Speaker 9: You know, all the way from Adelaide, Australia, please work
Speaker 9: on the bass because I always mentions my hometown, always
Speaker 9: does in I think when we played the MCG back
Speaker 9: in twenty two, he launched into Waltzing Matilda, Oh no
Speaker 9: before Yeah, he does that from time to time as well. Yeah,
Speaker 9: he's He's just the best, the best guy in the
Speaker 9: world to work for. I love him so much.
Speaker 2: Do you pinch yourself every day?
Speaker 9: I know that I am so lucky that I've been
Speaker 9: doing this professionally now for forty years, and I just
Speaker 9: it's what I absolutely love doing. I do it that
Speaker 9: the joy of playing with those musicians, with his band, specifically.
Speaker 9: I know that this talk that things might be, you know,
Speaker 9: with his health issues and stuff. I don't believe we're
Speaker 9: done done, but the biggest tragedy would be and I
Speaker 9: know he's going to be okay health wise, but if
Speaker 9: that band doesn't get to play together again, that will
Speaker 9: be a tragedy because it is to be a part
Speaker 9: of that collective, of that group of musicians where the
Speaker 9: sum of the past is way more than what we
Speaker 9: are as individual players. We're good musicians, We're a fantastic band,
Speaker 9: and I love playing in that band so much.
Speaker 2: Mate, you are an inspiration. I'm going to spend the
Speaker 2: rest of the afternoon on YouTube watching Billy Joel live
Speaker 2: as a result of this conversation, and I've got a
Speaker 2: listener who's a wiggle, Greg Page, who says, thanks so
Speaker 2: much for having Andy on what a great story. It's
Speaker 2: been great to hear how you got connected with him.
Speaker 2: Over the previous weeks. I've been following along. He sounds
Speaker 2: like such a great human being and you know what, mate,
Speaker 2: without you know whatdding in your pocket. I've watched a
Speaker 2: few of your interviews on YouTube, and my executive producer Nelson,
Speaker 2: who had a chat with you, tell me what a
Speaker 2: great Australian story and just what a brilliant bloke you are. Continued,
Speaker 2: great success made and I hope we can keep in touch.
Speaker 9: Thanks. Look, look, it's been a great journey. It's not
Speaker 9: over yet. I know my boss, the greatest boss I've
Speaker 9: ever had, is going to get well. I don't think
Speaker 9: he's prepared to hang it up yet. I think he's
Speaker 9: going to be fine eventually. I think what he wants
Speaker 9: is just a clean slate and to go like I
Speaker 9: feel great now, let's do some stuff again. I hope
Speaker 9: that's the case. But no matter what happens, I'm not done.
Speaker 9: I'm I'm just still just I can't believe I'm saying this.
Speaker 9: Up the forty is I'm just getting started. I still
Speaker 9: love it so much.
Speaker 2: Good been a pleasure to chat to you. You too, mate,
Speaker 2: and stay well. Let's keep in touch. Thanks Andy, Andy Sean. Wow. Well,
Speaker 2: you know sometimes we'd write in an introductory paragraph or
Speaker 2: two this is a ripper, I am. I'm not speechless,
Speaker 2: but some of those stories.
Speaker 11: Wow.
Speaker 1: Now on weekends, talking Technology with Stephen Finnick from tech
Speaker 1: guide dot com dot AU for Harvey Norman half Yearly
Speaker 1: Clearance shop laptops, mobiles, monitors, home security, earbuds and more
Speaker 1: in store and online. Harvey Norman half Yearly clear It's
Speaker 1: Best Prices Guarantee.
Speaker 2: Stephen Fennick from tech guide dot com dot are you.
Speaker 2: If you've got a question about your technology, you need
Speaker 2: Steve's advice one three one eight seven three Hi mate,
Speaker 2: Good morning, Luke.
Speaker 12: How are you doing.
Speaker 2: I'm very well you are too.
Speaker 12: I'll do my best, mate. I'm in the middle of
Speaker 12: an office renovation. Would you believe I'm taking everything out
Speaker 12: of my home office here where I run tech Guide from. Yeah,
Speaker 12: and yeah, it's been quite quite. I couldn't believe there
Speaker 12: was that much crap in there in that room. So
Speaker 12: it's going to be a cracker though.
Speaker 2: When it's done, well, that's terrific. We need to say
Speaker 2: that before and after I will be sharing that good stuff.
Speaker 2: Now I'm intrigued by this. This is Telstra activating its
Speaker 2: text to satellite messaging service. So who should use this
Speaker 2: or who will use this?
Speaker 12: Well, if you're a Telstra customer post paid customer, and
Speaker 12: if you own a Samsung Galaxy S twenty five series
Speaker 12: phone or an iPhone thirteen and later, you can when
Speaker 12: you see that if the Telstra network. Once you're outside
Speaker 12: the TELSTRAA network and you see that no service, it
Speaker 12: should kick over to give you the option of using satellite.
Speaker 12: So if you are out because a lot of people
Speaker 12: are unaware, you know, Telstra say covered ninety nine point
Speaker 12: ninety seven percent of the population. That's true, but we
Speaker 12: only live in like thirty percent of the country. The
Speaker 12: actual land mass of Australia, there's more than sixty percent
Speaker 12: that has no cellular coverage whatsoever. So if you're out
Speaker 12: in the middle of nowhere, all you need is a
Speaker 12: clear view of the sky and you'll be able to
Speaker 12: send and receive text messages. You won't be able to send.
Speaker 12: You can't contact emergency services because you can't text triple
Speaker 12: zero right, so you can't do that. There are other
Speaker 12: I think Apple has emergency SOS, but that actually goes
Speaker 12: through a third party emergency SOS by satellite. So if
Speaker 12: you are in trouble, you have a recent iPhone, I
Speaker 12: think even a recent Samsung that goes through a third
Speaker 12: relay party and then they contact the emergency services. But
Speaker 12: this is just a straight messaging service.
Speaker 2: So if you, for example, on a cruise ship, would
Speaker 2: you be able to you know how it says if
Speaker 2: you're at sea and you use your mobile, it's really expanded.
Speaker 12: Yeah, that's a good question. But I think you might
Speaker 12: be outside of the if your office off the maybe
Speaker 12: if you're near the coast of Australia, it may might
Speaker 12: work out. At sea it might not work right. But
Speaker 12: even I understand even if you're like, we hit a
Speaker 12: lot of people who contact us and say, oh they
Speaker 12: live in a black spot, they can't get any reception.
Speaker 12: So say you live in a Telstra black spot, or
Speaker 12: you go into a Telstra blackspot and you happen to
Speaker 12: be in the middle of the city, this will also
Speaker 12: work then as well. So if you see no service
Speaker 12: or emergency emergency calls only, it will give you the
Speaker 12: option of sending it via satellite. So this is the
Speaker 12: first step of course, and Optus and Votaphone, by the way,
Speaker 12: just to be clear, are also following down this path.
Speaker 12: But it means within.
Speaker 13: Perhaps a couple of years, will have calls via satellite
Speaker 13: and then eventually data via satellite, so you'll have your
Speaker 13: entire service all via satellite, no matter where you are
Speaker 13: in Australia.
Speaker 12: Down down the track, we're probably looking at two, three
Speaker 12: to five years. When that's that's possible.
Speaker 2: That means the end of the black spot, does it?
Speaker 12: It does well if you're a Telstra customer. Does and
Speaker 12: when the other telcos get theirs online, it means black
Speaker 12: spots will then kick over to satellite also would give
Speaker 12: do you remember the massive optus outage? Remember are you
Speaker 12: about a.
Speaker 14: Year and a half ago?
Speaker 12: Yes, imagine now the telcos have the option of using
Speaker 12: the satellite as a backup, so the city cell towers
Speaker 12: are not working, they may be able to then opt
Speaker 12: for at least you about a center receive a text
Speaker 12: message via satellite. It's also going to serve as a
Speaker 12: good backup as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah all right, good ay, Judy, how can we help
Speaker 2: you morning?
Speaker 15: Looky boy, and Stephen, good luck with your renovation. Stephen sure.
Speaker 15: I recently had my hard drive fried by lightning, which
Speaker 15: also took out the NBN, so I had the brand
Speaker 15: new rebuilt computer. I turned on the computer the other
Speaker 15: day and the first thing that came up with the
Speaker 15: black screen with hey, you need to back up? Now
Speaker 15: do you want to lose all your pictures, your apps?
Speaker 15: And then down the bottom with a little Microsoft icon
Speaker 15: with let's get started. But there was no remind me later.
Speaker 12: Okay, ca, Yeah, well you can easily do that later.
Speaker 12: This is giving you because because it hasn't sensed your
Speaker 12: your backup, So if it hasn't seen the disc, the
Speaker 12: mounted disc from your backup from before, it's assuming that
Speaker 12: you've either haven't connected it or you're going to do
Speaker 12: a new one, so you can easily do that later.
Speaker 12: A word of advice though, for I always connect my computer,
Speaker 12: and I always buy a surge protector for my for
Speaker 12: my computer, and you could even maybe put it on
Speaker 12: a powerboard normally has a surge protector too. But I
Speaker 12: plugged my computer in the wall and I have a
Speaker 12: surge protector, so that your your your drives were connected separately,
Speaker 12: weren't they to the to the power. It's an idea
Speaker 12: to think about perhaps getting a powerboard that has that
Speaker 12: surge protection or buying individual surge protectors. If you're just
Speaker 12: plugging it straight into the wall.
Speaker 15: Definitely not a scam.
Speaker 12: No, no, no, you once it's encouraging you. It's not telling
Speaker 12: you to go anywhere. It's telling you that you need
Speaker 12: to back up your stuff, so which you need to do.
Speaker 12: You hope you can you get back your other stuff
Speaker 12: like it's fried, is it the other It's all there.
Speaker 15: The computer guys came and set it all up for me.
Speaker 15: But I was just a bit worried when I saw this,
Speaker 15: and I thought, oh, you're kidding.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 12: I think you should be fine. Be a scam it
Speaker 12: was telling you to go to go on to a
Speaker 12: link or to go outside your computer, that'd be a scam.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Judy, have a wonderful day. The point the
Speaker 2: duty is making there and I think you and I
Speaker 2: make it regularly. Is it? There's too much, isn't there?
Speaker 2: Email and other things pop ups you get that just
Speaker 2: look legitimate and you think, oh, well that must be
Speaker 2: tells through or vota fie whatever.
Speaker 12: Although the common Health bay on that, mate, My policy
Speaker 12: assume everything is a scam yep, and then work backwards,
Speaker 12: don't go the other way and assuming it's real and
Speaker 12: then finding out too late it's a scam.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 12: Startup front, assuming it's a scam until it proves itself
Speaker 12: to be real.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I agree, and I've you've said that, and
Speaker 2: I'll follow that, and largely our listeners are doing that
Speaker 2: as well. Or a mate to stay there a sec
Speaker 2: We'll take a break in the meantime. One three one
Speaker 2: eight seven three. If you want to run a problem
Speaker 2: or a question by Steve, you can do it on
Speaker 2: that number. Back in a second. It's twelve to eleven
Speaker 2: eight minutes to eleven o'clock. One three, one eight seven
Speaker 2: three is a number to speak to Stephen Finnick from
Speaker 2: tech guide dot com dot you. And when Stephen's not here,
Speaker 2: you just go to tech guide dot com dot you
Speaker 2: and you click on the ask Stephen button. Simple as that, Robin,
Speaker 2: let's get to you online. Three how can we help you?
Speaker 16: Yes, I've just got a new I phone. Sixteenth my
Speaker 16: intigt at home isn't working. Sperson to TTG about that,
Speaker 16: but no five G. It tells me like Facebook is
Speaker 16: off line. Everything is off line, and I can't get
Speaker 16: WhatsApp I can't.
Speaker 12: You might have you might have your mobile data turned off.
Speaker 12: Just checking your settings, you're using mobile data, so it
Speaker 12: is that turned on and you're still not getting you're
Speaker 12: still not a right. Well have you have you power
Speaker 12: cycled your phone? Have you turned it off and on?
Speaker 15: Yes?
Speaker 12: Okay, it's still not connecting?
Speaker 17: No?
Speaker 16: For example, when I go to Facebook it's some off line.
Speaker 12: Yes, because what happens? Do you have good reception where
Speaker 12: you where you live, like good, good focus? You don't
Speaker 12: have the Internet, so you're relying on the five G
Speaker 12: and four G connection? If you have, you got good
Speaker 12: reception usually.
Speaker 16: Yes, no problem is all?
Speaker 12: Okay, Well, just process of elimination here. So you've got
Speaker 12: your mobile data turned on and you've got decent reception
Speaker 12: and you so I'm just trying to think, well what
Speaker 12: else it might be? So and you you've restarted your
Speaker 12: phone as well?
Speaker 15: Yes?
Speaker 12: Okay, well I think you probably make sure to. And
Speaker 12: you've only just bought this iPhone, haven't you?
Speaker 17: Yes?
Speaker 10: Okay?
Speaker 12: And did it did it require an update? Did you
Speaker 12: have a software update to do? When you did it?
Speaker 12: Go into your settings and you did the software update yes, okay.
Speaker 18: I did it.
Speaker 16: I did it before I actually transferred the data over.
Speaker 12: One more thing, you can try. Go into your go
Speaker 12: into the settings and switch the phone to airplane mode,
Speaker 12: so you know, so turn off the radios. So leave
Speaker 12: that off for about thirty seconds, turn it back on again,
Speaker 12: and I think you'll find it'll work. It's just probably
Speaker 12: needs your radio in your phone needs to need to
Speaker 12: reboot or something. That's worked for me. I'm a TPG
Speaker 12: on Votaphone customer as well. And is that your Telco
Speaker 12: Votera phone or who you with?
Speaker 19: No?
Speaker 16: No, no, I'm now with AGL which up just right?
Speaker 12: Okay, yeah, turn the radio off and back on again,
Speaker 12: so put it on flight mode and back on, and
Speaker 12: I think that'll kick the radios back and you should
Speaker 12: have you shall be able to their access everything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that certainly helped me. I did that once. Good
Speaker 2: luck with that, Robin Grant. So we've got to be quick.
Speaker 2: How can we help?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 20: Good Steve good a luky I loved during interview with Andy.
Speaker 20: He's a mate of a mate of mine who used
Speaker 20: to be in the channel.
Speaker 10: Have been with him.
Speaker 2: Wow, Well there, it's a small world.
Speaker 21: Isn't it.
Speaker 20: What's what do they say seven degrees of separation and
Speaker 20: all of that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, six or seven. Absolutely, what's your issue with you?
Speaker 2: You've got a problem with your age. Old HP computer
Speaker 2: is a grant.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 20: Look now I've got to put my hand up here
Speaker 20: and say it's eleven years old, so it's had a
Speaker 20: pretty good run. Okay, but the computer, the hard drive
Speaker 20: may not be the issue up to about since about
Speaker 20: two or three started to becoming really slow and clunky.
Speaker 10: Yeah, well that could be.
Speaker 12: Well, first you've told us why it's really old computer.
Speaker 12: So today's applications are going to struggle. It's going to
Speaker 12: struggle to handle it. Do you have Internet security software
Speaker 12: on it or no?
Speaker 10: Just the standard Microsoft? Yeah, it's probably got.
Speaker 12: It's probably full of malware too. It's probably that's what's
Speaker 12: slowing it down as well. I think it's going to
Speaker 12: donate that to onto a museum. It's old enough enough
Speaker 12: that can save that one.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry to say, it's terrible to think that, Grant.
Speaker 2: I'm with you, it's horrible. It's only eleven years old,
Speaker 2: but in computer years as a couple of hundred years,
Speaker 2: isn't it.
Speaker 12: That's like doggiest it's like doggies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, good luck with that, Grant. Sorry, I got to
Speaker 2: cut your short a time. It's got a Steven. Good
Speaker 2: luck with the reno's mate. In the meantime. If you
Speaker 2: missed Steve, you can get the tech guide dot com
Speaker 2: dot are you and click on the button look forward
Speaker 2: to your update next week, my friend. Will it be
Speaker 2: finished next week?
Speaker 12: Oh no, only half so sort of half done. But
Speaker 12: I'll be in studio next week. Mate, I'll tell you
Speaker 12: all about it.
Speaker 2: Beautiful see you. Then that's Stephen Stephen Fennick tech guide
Speaker 2: dot com dot are.
Speaker 7: You across Australia.
Speaker 2: It's back to weekends. We'll look Grant. Thank you for listening.
Speaker 2: Nice to be with you on this Sunday morning. It's
Speaker 2: the eighth of June. It's a cold day and lots
Speaker 2: of parts of Australia today, so that comes with winter,
Speaker 2: doesn't even though that's here it's going to be so warm.
Speaker 2: There's winter, and then you get a day like this
Speaker 2: one three one eight seveny three call it's a plenty. Look.
Speaker 2: I received a week or so back now from a
Speaker 2: listener Robert. This text. In fact, it's an email, and
Speaker 2: I just thought it was worthy, very worthy of repeating
Speaker 2: here and it goes. Dear Luke. I'm seventy years old.
Speaker 2: For over four decades, I was a volunteer first responder
Speaker 2: in a very highly qualified group. I might still cry
Speaker 2: if I had to tell the story of my first
Speaker 2: patient to die. I was performing CPR, with his wife
Speaker 2: and daughters crying behind me until help arrived. He was
Speaker 2: not old. I recall the senior Ambo's hand on my
Speaker 2: shoulder and his voice from behind perfect ecg trace son.
Speaker 2: But it's time to stop, he says. I'll never forget
Speaker 2: making myself stop when, because I was good at my craft,
Speaker 2: his eyes still looked alive to me. I was twenty eight.
Speaker 2: That was forty two years ago. I never drove past
Speaker 2: an incident. I remember the dead faces of children. About
Speaker 2: a year ago, I was in a higher car and
Speaker 2: the driver told me of his grief for decades over
Speaker 2: the death of his sister in law, who died alone.
Speaker 2: I'm the cold bitchumen of a rainy winter night. I
Speaker 2: was able to tell him that I was there. She
Speaker 2: was cared for, her life was respected, and she was
Speaker 2: given every chance. I thought she would die, but I
Speaker 2: kept her alive until there was an ambo. This year,
Speaker 2: I found a birthday card in my letterbox from that driver.
Speaker 2: I've never claimed compo. I was lucky, never suffered a
Speaker 2: mental health injury. I meant it when I say lucky.
Speaker 2: If we cannot afford to pay police, ambos and first responders,
Speaker 2: then frankly, we can't afford the people who help us.
Speaker 2: That's from a fellow called Robert. How about that? Eh,
Speaker 2: how about that? I had a look at that and
Speaker 2: I thought, oh, amazing, one three one, Thank you Robert
Speaker 2: for your servers. I have to say one three, one
Speaker 2: eight seven three is our number. Great Mark, there you go,
Speaker 2: good Mark you? Yeah, good, good on you. Look.
Speaker 21: I don't mean to be mean spirited in this, in
Speaker 21: this comment at all. Talking about illegal tobacco.
Speaker 22: I remember growing up thirty years ago, forty years ago,
Speaker 22: and if you were importing.
Speaker 21: Illegal tobacco into the country, there were big penalties.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 22: I hear a lot of talk about how it's challenging
Speaker 22: to enforce.
Speaker 21: Rules on the shops that are selling them.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 22: Surely if we were to increase the penalties onto the
Speaker 22: shops and make it something.
Speaker 21: That was meaningful, then that might have an impact on
Speaker 21: them selling it. In the first place.
Speaker 2: Yep, I agree, Mark. In fact, we were talking about
Speaker 2: it afair and I said, you know what if you
Speaker 2: if they were a little fairer with the excise and
Speaker 2: they said, now listen, if you've got a packet, we're
Speaker 2: going to take it from you. And if we sell
Speaker 2: a packet, the first one is going to cost you
Speaker 2: five grand, and if we find it again, then every
Speaker 2: time that's going to cost you fifty grand. Then it
Speaker 2: goes away, doesn't it.
Speaker 23: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Thanksfully, good on you, Thank you Mark. Seems like we
Speaker 2: agree and that's a good thing. Now. I mentioned when
Speaker 2: I spoke to Andy Sehon that we were tipped off
Speaker 2: about Andy by a listener called Tom who's on the line.
Speaker 2: Thank you jeez, that mate. What a human being he is.
Speaker 18: He's a beauty mate, isn't he?
Speaker 2: Isn't he?
Speaker 10: What?
Speaker 2: How do you know him?
Speaker 18: From his band Judge Mercy in about ninety ninety two? Right,
Speaker 18: and then he went to play with Thorpy and Roast
Speaker 18: Tattoo and he's been around his bike. He's just look
Speaker 18: at him now. Base flavor for Billy.
Speaker 2: Zoor, how about Billy Joel?
Speaker 18: Yeah? Three quick stories.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 18: When McCartney came up on stage with Billy Jarles band.
Speaker 18: Billy said to Andy, just just step out of the
Speaker 18: limelight and go back a little bit, just in cases
Speaker 18: a bit of a bugger up right at the end
Speaker 18: of the show, and he said, McCartney's brilliant. The second story,
Speaker 18: and when they got Roger Dawtrey up from the who
Speaker 18: yes to do a show. You remember the bass solo
Speaker 18: by John Entwhistle Yes, my generation, my generation, Yeah, yeah right,
Speaker 18: And he'd done the solo and Roger Daughtery just turned
Speaker 18: around and give him a bit of a nod in
Speaker 18: a week and said, well done, mate.
Speaker 2: Well done son. Wow.
Speaker 18: And the third story Ye, when the COVID thing hit,
Speaker 18: Billy decided that he wanted to keep his band together,
Speaker 18: even though they mightn't work for a couple of years
Speaker 18: or so, but he paid every member of his band
Speaker 18: a weekly wage. What they were doing when they were
Speaker 18: on the road, said go out and get your own
Speaker 18: gigs if you can. But mate, when I'm ready to rock,
Speaker 18: you blokes better be ready to Rarely kept the whole
Speaker 18: band together and played for wages.
Speaker 2: Oh what about what about that? That's impressive? Well, Tom,
Speaker 2: can I just again thank you so much for firstly
Speaker 2: listening to us, and secondly for introducing us to Andy Sihon,
Speaker 2: Because as much as I think I know a lot
Speaker 2: about Australian music, particularly of the seventies and eighties, and
Speaker 2: probably either side of that a little bit I'd never
Speaker 2: heard or I wasn't aware of Andy. And to think
Speaker 2: that we just spent twenty minutes or fifteen minutes with
Speaker 2: Billy Dole's bass player, who's an Aussie who's played with
Speaker 2: ac DC and started off with Rose Kattoo and it's
Speaker 2: been on stage with Paul McCartney. To think we did
Speaker 2: that in the Hamble Radio show this morning blows me away.
Speaker 2: Thank you again, Tom, and again lovely to talk to you,
Speaker 2: and thank you for thinking of us. Andy Sishon. Now
Speaker 2: he mentioned to me when playing with Billy Joel at
Speaker 2: the Coliseum in Rome, the audience was two hundred and
Speaker 2: fifty thousand, and I think Brian Adams was on the show.
Speaker 2: They had a revolving stage and during the show the
Speaker 2: stage revolved when it shouldn't. But we do have some
Speaker 2: audio of Uptown Girl and you know what to listen
Speaker 2: for when the bass guitar is playing. This is the
Speaker 2: work of Andy shonn.
Speaker 3: Work that she never had a street there.
Speaker 2: It is Andy sa Sean and he's also doing backing
Speaker 2: vocals and you can look at that on on YouTube.
Speaker 2: I want you to keep listening to me if you
Speaker 2: don't mind. Pretty key to what we do, but at
Speaker 2: a convenient time for you and particularly for me, he's
Speaker 2: there singing backing vocals as well. Good a John, Look,
Speaker 2: how are you well? John?
Speaker 10: You well?
Speaker 24: I'll be better after I spit all this out.
Speaker 2: Okay, go ahead.
Speaker 10: I heard you this morning.
Speaker 24: You were talking about climate change and elbow and billions
Speaker 24: of dollars and you know the pollution that Australia has gotten.
Speaker 24: It's one percent of the world anyway. Yeah, I've traveled
Speaker 24: overseas quite frequently and there's two places I've been, Malta
Speaker 24: and Cyprus. Right now, do you know what they use.
Speaker 10: For their electricity? How they what do you call it?
Speaker 2: How they produce? Well, now, I don't imagine they're doing
Speaker 2: anything that's particularly environmentally friendly, are they.
Speaker 10: No, it's all been done by diesel.
Speaker 2: Diesel. Hey, that's what the green state of South Australia
Speaker 2: had to regularly fall back on.
Speaker 24: Recall that, yes, yes, and we're talking about all.
Speaker 10: This climate change and all this other mumbo jumbo. Well,
Speaker 10: if the world is.
Speaker 24: So polluted, why don't we go to places like I've
Speaker 24: just mentioned and stop it there.
Speaker 10: If we stopped it there, the place had closed down.
Speaker 2: Well here's an idea. Why don't we reduce our coal
Speaker 2: exports by whatever extra we burn here, so rather than
Speaker 2: being burnt overseas, we get burn it here and get
Speaker 2: busy building those clean and coal fire power stations. Problem solved.
Speaker 10: But well, why don't you get elbow On and ask.
Speaker 2: Him that he won't He won't talk to me. Bowen
Speaker 2: won't talk to me. They don't talk to me during
Speaker 2: the last campaign, Mate, I promise you we asked the question,
Speaker 2: we issued the invitation, but nothing comes of it. Now,
Speaker 2: I'm not saying for a moment, I'm not big nothing
Speaker 2: myself saying oh, they wouldn't mess with me. I'm not
Speaker 2: saying that at all. But I think they understand that
Speaker 2: our intelligent audience, including very good people like you, John,
Speaker 2: are awake up to the spin and the other what
Speaker 2: I'd like to call crap that too often becomes part
Speaker 2: of this conversation. Thank you for raising the issue. John,
Speaker 2: You're a beauty, have a great weekend. Now someone's asking
Speaker 2: can you put up the Andy Sashon interview on the website.
Speaker 2: It's there now you can listen to it there right now.
Speaker 2: And speaking of interviews and hopefully ones you enjoy in
Speaker 2: a moment or two, Chris Marshall, the British actor from
Speaker 2: Love Actually here's the young fella that was in the airport,
Speaker 2: yelled his name as he was saying goodbye to his
Speaker 2: mate and then said something else which is probably a
Speaker 2: little too riskay, but it began with big and ended
Speaker 2: with another word. And then he comes back later on
Speaker 2: the show with what I know to call a bevy
Speaker 2: of beauties. I don't know exactly what is, but I've
Speaker 2: heard in the old days people used to say that
Speaker 2: a lot. He's in a show called Beyond Paradise. He
Speaker 2: plays Detective Inspector Humphrey Goodman. Season three has just lobbed
Speaker 2: and the iconic British actor Chris Marshall will join me
Speaker 2: after this. Now, what to treat this is? We do
Speaker 2: speak to great people on this show, but not every
Speaker 2: day do we get to speak to an iconic British actor.
Speaker 2: His name is Chris Marshall and you'd know him as
Speaker 2: a man who shot to start and playing Colin Frizzell
Speaker 2: in a little Christmas rom com Love Actually you know
Speaker 2: what I mean. Have a listen to this.
Speaker 14: Oh wow, Failure America.
Speaker 2: What's out?
Speaker 11: It comes Colin Bristle and he's got top big.
Speaker 25: Oh my god, are you from England?
Speaker 26: Yes?
Speaker 2: That is so cute. Since then, Chris has been starring
Speaker 2: in a string of classics, including Death at a Funeral,
Speaker 2: A Few Best Men. I love that movie, and even
Speaker 2: Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice. He's no stranger to the silver
Speaker 2: screen as well. For the better part of a decade,
Speaker 2: he's played Detective Inspector Humphrey Goodman, originally in Death in
Speaker 2: Paradise and in the spin off Beyond Paradise and in
Speaker 2: Great News for crime fans. Chris is returning as Detective
Speaker 2: Inspector Goodman for season three of Beyond Paradise, which is
Speaker 2: streaming now on britt Box. And I am delighted to
Speaker 2: say that the great Man is on the line.
Speaker 14: Good day, Chris, Hey Luke, thank you so much for
Speaker 14: the introduction.
Speaker 2: Wow, no, my terrific speak to you. I loved your
Speaker 2: work and I've got to say and I don't know,
Speaker 2: you know why it hasn't been a thing but a
Speaker 2: few best men. I cacked brackets meaning laugh myself, silly,
Speaker 2: close brackets myself at your work in that with Olivia
Speaker 2: and Newton John and the rest of the cast. It
Speaker 2: was just a real gift. Thank you for that.
Speaker 14: Oh, bless you, thank you. I had such a good
Speaker 14: time making that movie. And yeah, Fox Studios in Sydney
Speaker 14: and you know, and up in the Blue Mountains Neckertomber.
Speaker 19: It's tough.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it was such good fun. I'll ask you
Speaker 2: only briefly about love actually, because you're not here to
Speaker 2: talk about that, although it's such a big thing obviously,
Speaker 2: we have to touch on it. For those that haven't
Speaker 2: seen you play Detective Inspector Humphrey Goodman. He's a distinctive character,
Speaker 2: isn't He's quirky, he's brilliant, but he's deeply human. Is
Speaker 2: that how you describe him?
Speaker 14: Yeah, I think he's sort of I mean, to me,
Speaker 14: he's a sort of melaunge really, sort of a whole
Speaker 14: mix up of all my sort of favorite detectives growing up.
Speaker 14: You know, there's a bit of marble in there, there's
Speaker 14: a bit of Colombo. You know, there's a bit of
Speaker 14: but also there's a bit of Harold Lloyd and a
Speaker 14: bit of Jack Tatti in there as well. You know,
Speaker 14: he's sort of, you know, he's sort of he's very human,
Speaker 14: but he's got a good moral compass. But he's also
Speaker 14: nobody's full, you know, and he's quite dispractic as well
Speaker 14: and clumsy and yeah, but he's you know, he's a
Speaker 14: brilliant detective and he's got a real good eye for
Speaker 14: a crime solving a crime.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I wonder from your point of view, I mean,
Speaker 2: I mean, this is what you do, and you do
Speaker 2: it so well, but when you come back for another season,
Speaker 2: you've kind of, I guess, in a way, got to
Speaker 2: pick up from where you're left off. I've heard you
Speaker 2: talk about putting on the shoes and that gets you
Speaker 2: in the character. But is that a difficult thing to do?
Speaker 2: You know, you do a series, you take a break,
Speaker 2: then you come back, and it is kind of like
Speaker 2: picking up where you left off, but so much time
Speaker 2: might have passed, you.
Speaker 14: Know, in between the me leaving Death and Paradise and
Speaker 14: then reappraising the character sort of you know, the characters
Speaker 14: sort of rebirth and go on paradise. It was sort
Speaker 14: of like three or four years, so, I mean, yeah,
Speaker 14: that was quite difficult picking that up again. But you know,
Speaker 14: it's when you put the clothes on and you know,
Speaker 14: he's a he's a big linen wearer. I don't wear
Speaker 14: linen myself, but the big linen wearer, you know, and
Speaker 14: you want to put the clothes on it. And this,
Speaker 14: like I said before, especially the shoes for me, the
Speaker 14: shoes is, I don't know. You get the gate back
Speaker 14: and you know, and I remember rifling through my pockets
Speaker 14: of an old jacket that I had on the original
Speaker 14: show and all my old notes were still in there.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 14: So after about four years so, I mean, it was
Speaker 14: just it was just like stepping back literally into another
Speaker 14: man's shoes, you know. And yeah, it's but from season
Speaker 14: to season it's not too hard.
Speaker 2: Though, right, Are you too classic the way linen? Is
Speaker 2: that what you say to me?
Speaker 14: No? No, I know I'm too I think I'm too
Speaker 14: tall to wear linen. I think you know what I mean? No,
Speaker 14: I do. If you're really tall, if you're a really
Speaker 14: tall bloke, yeah, linen can get a bit wishy washy
Speaker 14: on you. You know it can give. It's a bit flowy,
Speaker 14: a bit more cut, you know, a little bit more
Speaker 14: tie bit of on the clothes. Otherwise I look like
Speaker 14: a bit of a misshapen golf club.
Speaker 2: You know what, mate. We had some photos done here
Speaker 2: at work a few weeks ago, and I'm a similar
Speaker 2: height to you, six three or six four or something,
Speaker 2: and I wore linen. Actually I brought in half a
Speaker 2: dozen shirts, and the wardrobe lady said, wear linen. And
Speaker 2: the photos came back and I said, I look so
Speaker 2: wishy washy. If only we'd spoken before, If only we'd
Speaker 2: spoken before. Am I right? Am I right? You were
Speaker 2: born on the first of April? And if that's true,
Speaker 2: is when you were younger, did you get pranked, probably
Speaker 2: teased about your birthday on April Fool's Day? And you
Speaker 2: know you promised to bike. Can you end up with
Speaker 2: a matchbox car or something?
Speaker 10: You know why?
Speaker 14: It would be a great story, but it's that's just
Speaker 14: don't believe everything you read on the internet. My birthday
Speaker 14: is on the eleventh of April, so it's mister one
Speaker 14: off there.
Speaker 2: One off.
Speaker 14: It's a good story. So let's let's just pretend it
Speaker 14: is the first of April.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's okay, Well let's do that. Let's do that
Speaker 2: for people that haven't seen the show. What do you
Speaker 2: hope they take from it? Mate?
Speaker 14: Do you know what? We live in quite weird times,
Speaker 14: and you know, I love all those really hard hitting,
Speaker 14: gritty cop dramas and you know, they're they're great, they're
Speaker 14: great to watch. But this is this is something that
Speaker 14: it's a bit of escapism. You know, it's sort of
Speaker 14: you know, like I mentioned Columbo and s Marple before,
Speaker 14: and another huge influence of mine was Jim Rockford James
Speaker 14: Gonner in The Rockford Files. You know, ah, you know,
Speaker 14: and it's all it's all a bit tongue in cheek.
Speaker 14: It's all done a bit like hearted it and I think,
Speaker 14: you know, there's a bit of escapism and we need
Speaker 14: a bit of escapism. It's a puzzle to it. Sit
Speaker 14: down and it's cross demographic. You can sit down. You
Speaker 14: can watch it with your kids, your mum and your dog.
Speaker 14: You know, it's good. It's good formily viewing, but it's
Speaker 14: good fun. It's it's there's a puzzle you can work out,
Speaker 14: you know. It's yeah, you know, puts a smile on
Speaker 14: your face.
Speaker 2: You know what I was about to say. You know what,
Speaker 2: Chris Will puts a smile on your face. That's exactly
Speaker 2: that's exactly right. And you know what, to a large point,
Speaker 2: I think that's what in entertainment we're supposed to do. Largely.
Speaker 2: I mean, you can sit down for as long as
Speaker 2: you need to and you don't feel bad about things,
Speaker 2: You feel like hey about stuff, and you might have
Speaker 2: been forced to think a bit and been forced to
Speaker 2: laugh a bit. And isn't that isn't that partly what
Speaker 2: we're meant to do? Six episodes in this series? Tell
Speaker 2: me about the making of it. It's a it's a
Speaker 2: it's a Devon and Cornwell. Is that where you should it?
Speaker 14: Yeah? So the last of two counties that stick out
Speaker 14: and sort of peninsula at the bottom in the southwest
Speaker 14: of the UK, Devon and Cornwall. There's a great rivalry
Speaker 14: between the two counties. I mean it's quite visceral actually,
Speaker 14: so we film in both counties, even though technically the
Speaker 14: show is set in Devon. And you know, there's a
Speaker 14: big argument about I believe you guys call it a
Speaker 14: Devonshire tea over here. Yes, yeah, Well, there's a big
Speaker 14: argument about how you have your jam and how you
Speaker 14: have your cream? Yes, in Cornwall, Cornwall and Devon have
Speaker 14: it very differently. It's it's real, mate, it's real.
Speaker 2: It's hang on, I've got I've got to ask you
Speaker 2: how differently.
Speaker 9: I have it?
Speaker 10: So let me get this right.
Speaker 14: So Cornwall has it jam first, jam first, cream on
Speaker 14: top yep, and Devon Devonshire does the reverse.
Speaker 2: Right you are you allowed to have a preferred option
Speaker 2: or they're going to spoil things?
Speaker 27: Yeah?
Speaker 14: I do have a preferred option, I have to say,
Speaker 14: and that is the jam first.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 10: And they even.
Speaker 14: Call each other jam first, jam first and cream first
Speaker 14: of Devonshire and Cornish they do. I mean, it's a
Speaker 14: it's a real thing.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 14: So yeah, we we've thought done. That's very beautiful, you know.
Speaker 14: I mean, I don't know how many people are aware
Speaker 14: of Devon and Cornwall in OZ but or you know,
Speaker 14: or have visited. But we've we've got beautiful beaches down there.
Speaker 14: You know, we've got surf where we stick right around
Speaker 14: to the Atlantic down there. So it's you know, really
Speaker 14: lovely blue. It's cold, I'm going to say it's cold,
Speaker 14: but you know it's just about for about a week
Speaker 14: in the summer. You can get in with your board shorts.
Speaker 2: Oh boys, it's not bad. And is it far from
Speaker 2: your home?
Speaker 14: Yes, probably about three hour drive my home, so you
Speaker 14: can go home every weekend.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, that's good.
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's okay, it's not too bad. So it's it
Speaker 14: beats you know some of the locations I've filmed in.
Speaker 23: Yeah, and go and see the.
Speaker 14: Kids and I actually my kids are even in this
Speaker 14: series as well, so.
Speaker 2: Oh, fantastic, fantastic. Isn't that wonderful? Actually I was reading
Speaker 2: about the some of the episodes, and until your time
Speaker 2: me that about Devon and Cornwall, I didn't realize. But
Speaker 2: a body's discovered in a river on the county border,
Speaker 2: so you've got to collaborate with with Cornish counterparts. So
Speaker 2: now knowing that, that makes life very interesting, I imagine.
Speaker 23: Yeah.
Speaker 14: Yeah, And also there's there's a there's a brilliant scene
Speaker 14: with the whole scone thing going on as well. So okay,
Speaker 14: so I hope your your listeners enjoy that when they
Speaker 14: see that. So yeah, it's all good. It's all going on.
Speaker 2: We certainly will. I don't know why I'm reluctant to
Speaker 2: talk about love. Actually, partly mate, because you've done so
Speaker 2: much else but this has become just a big thing,
Speaker 2: I know, around Thanks and Christmas in America, but here
Speaker 2: in Australia we all watch it. I certainly do every
Speaker 2: every Christmas. And the big Knob line, which I don't
Speaker 2: know if it was scripted or if it was your work,
Speaker 2: but I mean it is one of those standouts, isn't it.
Speaker 21: Yeah it is.
Speaker 14: And it was kind of improvised on the day that one,
Speaker 14: you know, certainly the way I sang it as well,
Speaker 14: and yes, it just you know, one of those things
Speaker 14: that just came out really and yeah, and it amazes
Speaker 14: me that it's become such an iconic line. I mean,
Speaker 14: people shouted at me in the street, which is, you know,
Speaker 14: interesting when I'm with my kids showing big knob at me.
Speaker 14: But you know, it's what is that about that I
Speaker 14: was exposed? Yeah, so yeah, so, but it's you know,
Speaker 14: it's I mean, we only did about thirteen fourteen days
Speaker 14: filming on it because everyone had such a different storyline.
Speaker 14: So yeah, to do thirteen fourteen days on something it's
Speaker 14: quite small in the grand scheme of things, and it's
Speaker 14: become such an iconic part.
Speaker 10: Of the zeitgeist really part of.
Speaker 14: The part of the sort of the firmament, you know,
Speaker 14: if that's the right word to use.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well not, let's go with it. You let
Speaker 2: me away with a so let's go with that.
Speaker 14: What they hell, I didn't say fundament. You know that.
Speaker 2: You must love Australia. Look, I know you don't spend
Speaker 2: every waking moment here, but I talked about the Olivingot
Speaker 2: and John movie and you've been you've been here a bit.
Speaker 2: Do you think do you think Ossie's, even though we
Speaker 2: love to smash each other in cricket, but do you
Speaker 2: think Ozzie's and and Brits when it all boils down,
Speaker 2: are pretty close, aren't they?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 14: You know I think that we're kindred. Really. I think
Speaker 14: we're like, you know, we're like cousins.
Speaker 2: Really, And I love oz.

Speaker 2: But police in Queensland are telling me about an incident
Speaker 2: at Kumra this morning. Just before nine, a dark BMW
Speaker 2: was exiting a car meet at Betty Road and water
Speaker 2: Way Drive at Lots Control and struck a group who
Speaker 2: were sitting on a barrier. Teenage males sustained a leg
Speaker 2: injury and eighteen year old males. I've had a significant
Speaker 2: leg injury. Officer spoke to the driver, a twenty year
Speaker 2: old man at the scene who continues to assist police
Speaker 2: with their inquiries. We'll get you further on that as
Speaker 2: soon as we can. I want to talk about a
Speaker 2: zempic here. Over the last weeks, we've seen and you've seen,
Speaker 2: doubt several stories about the side effects. And I'm not
Speaker 2: a doctor, but i know how to get in contact
Speaker 2: with doctors that know these things. And I've just a
Speaker 2: lot of people say this is a very good medication
Speaker 2: that's helped them. I'm sure that's the case, but it's
Speaker 2: just important to you know, you see these stories and
Speaker 2: read these stories and you wonder just how serious is it.
Speaker 2: So let's get to someone at the top end of
Speaker 2: all of this, the chair of the Royal Australian College
Speaker 2: of General Practitioners Specific Interests diabet Group, doctor Gary dead
Speaker 2: who joins me on the line, Dodor Deed. Thank you
Speaker 2: so much for.
Speaker 28: Your time, Thanks Luke, and happy on Sunday.
Speaker 2: And to you, how significant are the reports around blindness
Speaker 2: around hepatitis? And we're not talking about significant numbers from
Speaker 2: the stories that we've shared with our listeners, but nonetheless
Speaker 2: there are reports. How significant are they in your.
Speaker 28: Mind as a doctor and as a person treating people
Speaker 28: using these medications? Yet it is very concerning. You know,
Speaker 28: there's several hundred thousand people taking it. Only a handful
Speaker 28: of people have reported problems, but still there are reports
Speaker 28: to the call the therapeutic goods association of vision loss
Speaker 28: and partial blindness by some people, although we're still not
Speaker 28: absolutely clear it's linked entirely to the medication. Could be
Speaker 28: due to other conditions such as their diabetes, leak problems,
Speaker 28: even high blood pressure. But I think it's a watching
Speaker 28: brief that we need to be careful.
Speaker 2: Of now for those that don't know fully or don't
Speaker 2: understand fully what these medications can do, they seem to
Speaker 2: me to be widely lauded because they help people I
Speaker 2: think essentially with diabetes, don't they And they also assist
Speaker 2: in weight loss, is that right?
Speaker 28: Yeah, there's two different types available, as you mentioned, a
Speaker 28: medication called ozempic, but the drone is called semiglue type.
Speaker 28: It comes in two forms, one for people with diabetes
Speaker 28: and another form called wajovi which is used for managing overweight,
Speaker 28: no obesity, and different dosages, so there are different types
Speaker 28: of people.
Speaker 2: On them, right, And are they injected? Is it an
Speaker 2: oral medication? What is it?
Speaker 17: Yeah?
Speaker 28: Interesting you asked that it's once weekly injections, so yeah,
Speaker 28: people usually manage that themselves after instruction with a GP
Speaker 28: which is important. It should be done through a knowledge
Speaker 28: of GPR specialist of course.
Speaker 2: And in relation to its use, is the weight loss
Speaker 2: aspect of the medication was it discovered primarily or was
Speaker 2: it the ability to assist with diabetes that was the
Speaker 2: initial motivator as to why this was such a good thing?
Speaker 22: A really good question, Lok.
Speaker 28: Way back when the studies were first done, of because
Speaker 28: timed and targeted at people with diabetes, but they found
Speaker 28: that people diabetes lost weight. But then they did further
Speaker 28: studies on people without diabetes and they also lost weight.
Speaker 28: So you know, there are key aspects they can lower
Speaker 28: blood gluecose levels and help weight with people diabetes, which
Speaker 28: is type two diabetes, which is good, but then also
Speaker 28: people the abeste. Now they've been shown to not only
Speaker 28: lose weight, but also there are aspects where they might
Speaker 28: help people with heart disease and who are obese and
Speaker 28: help protect them as well. So amazing sort of development
Speaker 28: of these medicators.
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, I've seen the and I don't know if
Speaker 2: this is a thing, but o zempic blindness and when
Speaker 2: you say something like that, it's you know, it's quite
Speaker 2: challenging if you're on that medication to actually hear that is,
Speaker 2: But am I able to make the point that this
Speaker 2: is in such a small number of cases. I mean
Speaker 2: as a matter of the patient and doctor, of course,
Speaker 2: but it's not something that is significant or shouldn't be
Speaker 2: significant in the mind of listeners. How do you respond
Speaker 2: to that, Luke?
Speaker 28: I think if you're using any medication, you and I
Speaker 28: and your listeners, you know, keep in touch with your
Speaker 28: knowledgeable GP about you know what the medication can do,
Speaker 28: what are the potential side effects, and you've illustrated that
Speaker 28: these side effects that are being shown up are probably
Speaker 28: very rare. So if you've got a good GP, there's
Speaker 28: no subjecute with you working with your GP talking about
Speaker 28: how I use this medication for the condition that I've
Speaker 28: been prescribed for, but also notify them if they've got problems.
Speaker 28: Are you concerned about your eyesight? Have you had your
Speaker 28: eyesight check for instance? That's that's the safe model of
Speaker 28: using these medications. And also with the hepatites called deliver inflammation,
Speaker 28: you've got excessive vomiting, you're not tolerating COUDE as well
Speaker 28: as you should. Should you just talk to your knowledgeable GP,
Speaker 28: work with your GP and utilize the medication because they've
Speaker 28: got benefits as I mentioned, but also prevent yourself from
Speaker 28: getting any problems.
Speaker 2: So I mean, that's that's just common sense, isn't a garry.
Speaker 2: It's okay, so that the doctor decides that this might
Speaker 2: be a good thing for you if you if you
Speaker 2: then have it and you feel that things aren't right,
Speaker 2: then you know, I just don't sit it out. Actually
Speaker 2: raise the issue with the GP. Is that what we're saying?
Speaker 28: Yes, and you know, work with the GP, and are
Speaker 28: there some things that I need to do before I
Speaker 28: start the medication? Should I work with my GP to
Speaker 28: have a good comprehensive health check if I'm using it
Speaker 28: for diabetes or even weight loss, and notify of any change.
Speaker 28: A GP is able to support you all the way through,
Speaker 28: and you know, so that we don't get intobbles and
Speaker 28: also we can prevent further problems if anything arise.
Speaker 2: Great doctor Gary Deed, Chair of the ra C GP
Speaker 2: Specific Interests Diabetes Group. I appreciate your time and enjoy
Speaker 2: the rest of the day. Thank you, Gary, Stay healthy,
Speaker 2: bye bye bye. Yeah you too. Well, well, I mean
Speaker 2: there you go. I actually said to my doctor. I
Speaker 2: said we were talking about this drug drug because we
Speaker 2: I don't pretend to be anything I'm not, but we
Speaker 2: you know, I say, oh, look I saw something on
Speaker 2: this the other day. What do you reckon? And I
Speaker 2: said to him, hey, doctor, you reckon this osembic works?
Speaker 2: Do you think He said, maybe it's not what I think.
Speaker 2: I know the evidence is there, and I said, well,
Speaker 2: what about side effects and things? We said, well that's
Speaker 2: where you know you have to monitor. I know this
Speaker 2: is a really good medication. You get your own advice.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you what happened to me. But there will
Speaker 2: be side effects. But you know, if you have it
Speaker 2: and it doesn't work, aap mate, then you can ring me.
Speaker 2: I don't use it. But we're just having a conversation.
Speaker 2: And when you see these reports, I think you're entitled
Speaker 2: to say, well hang on. Of course there's a lot
Speaker 2: of noise about it, and probably for good reason. It's
Speaker 2: coming up to Ford to midday. Jim Haines is here
Speaker 2: after the news talking movies. I'm just aware that the
Speaker 2: Coalition has demanded Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke provide a
Speaker 2: detailed statement of reasons as to why Israelis speaker and
Speaker 2: technology expert HELLL Foold, born in New York, has had
Speaker 2: his visa revote. In a decision statement, Burke cited Islamophobia
Speaker 2: rehetoric which risked inciting accord against Australia's Muslim population. It
Speaker 2: was set to speak at fundraising events in Sydney and Melbourne.
Speaker 2: More on that coming up after the News which is next.
Speaker 7: Low Cross Australia.
Speaker 1: It's back to weekends with look.
Speaker 2: Grant, good day. Hope you will on this Sunday afternoon,
Speaker 2: the eighth day of June, the middle of the long
Speaker 2: weekend in New South Wales and the Act gad A Canbra.
Speaker 2: Thank you for joining us on two Double C for
Speaker 2: the first time today and it's back to work in
Speaker 2: Brisbane tomorrow for our four BC listeners wherever you are,
Speaker 2: I hope your Sunday is going well. Thanks for all
Speaker 2: the feedback today. I'll get to some of that in
Speaker 2: a moment or two. But as I mentioned earlier, violent
Speaker 2: protests have erupted in Los Angeles over the immigration raids
Speaker 2: at the Trump government. If you will has set out
Speaker 2: in both LA and I think New York. Now the
Speaker 2: National Guard will be deployed to LA with California Governor
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom confirming the Trump administrations deploying two thousand soldiers.
Speaker 2: I don't know if anyone should be necessarily surprised by this.
Speaker 2: I mean, Donald Trump, in part in his election campaign
Speaker 2: made it clear that, you know, immigration and illegal immigration
Speaker 2: was a thing he was going to deal with. But
Speaker 2: these scenes are very, very concerning. Nine News Lauren to
Speaker 2: MARSI is in l Aine joins me on the line.
Speaker 2: Good day, Lauren, great to talk again. Thank you for
Speaker 2: your tome. What can you tell me?
Speaker 9: Gee?
Speaker 27: Look, these have been quite significant scenes across Los Angeles today.
Speaker 12: I've been in the suburb of.
Speaker 27: Paramount, which is right near Compston. People there have told
Speaker 27: me is the heart of la and that is where
Speaker 27: these protests have really been erupting today with these riot police.
Speaker 27: They've been clashing, they've been firing tear gas at those protesters.
Speaker 27: And just moments ago, we had, as you say, President
Speaker 27: Trump signed a memorandum to deploy two thousand National guardsmen
Speaker 27: into California. So that is quite an extraordinary move to
Speaker 27: has a military moved in on American soil.
Speaker 2: So it is it's extraordinary. What about Trump and Newsom?
Speaker 2: Have they been speaking either together? Or publicly.
Speaker 23: Well.
Speaker 27: Gavin Newsom has taken to social media saying this isn't
Speaker 27: the move that he wanted. This is the Californian National
Speaker 27: Guard which Donald Trump is taking over here and to
Speaker 27: do that he had to sign in that presidential memorandum.
Speaker 27: Gavin Newsom says, that is a purposely inflammatory move that's
Speaker 27: only going to escalate tensions. And that's certainly something we
Speaker 27: have felt as we've been on the ground in Los
Speaker 27: Angeles today. The agents, the Border Force agents and LAPD
Speaker 27: themselves who aren't actually part of these immigration raids. Just
Speaker 27: seeing those law enforcement on the ground is really inflaming
Speaker 27: the situation for these pro testers who are really upset
Speaker 27: and angry. What is happening in Los Angeles right.
Speaker 2: Now and the same thing or something similar happening on
Speaker 2: the other side of the country in New York City?
Speaker 2: Is that right?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 27: There have been scenes in New York City as well,
Speaker 27: similar protests at these immigration detention locations, the ICE headquarters
Speaker 27: ICE standing for Immigration Customs Enforcements. They have been quelled
Speaker 27: down by NYPD. Certainly that is not the case here
Speaker 27: in Los Angeles. As the sun begins to set here,
Speaker 27: it feels like the situation is just it is a
Speaker 27: tinder box waiting to erupt. Even worse than the tension
Speaker 27: and the emotions that we've seen on the ground is Look,
Speaker 27: it's not looking great into the evening.
Speaker 2: No, no, I'm hearing aloud and fear. You can't say
Speaker 2: it ord settle down anytime soon, because obviously Trump's going
Speaker 2: to take a stand. But the people who who I mean,
Speaker 2: California is of the left. We know that, but they're
Speaker 2: not going to say, oh, well, Donald's angry, you better
Speaker 2: go away now. And then it becomes nighttime and then
Speaker 2: more people become involved. I mean, this has got hair
Speaker 2: written all over it, doesn't it.
Speaker 27: Oh, it does. And I mean Los Angeles itself is
Speaker 27: a city of so many migrants. We know that about
Speaker 27: ten percent of the city here are undocumented migrants. They
Speaker 27: make up a huge portion of this city and work
Speaker 27: really well into the city. You can see at the
Speaker 27: Home Depots, which is one of the hardware stores here
Speaker 27: in the United States, there will often be migrants who
Speaker 27: go there looking for day work, and that has been
Speaker 27: one of the target sites of these immigration raids. Donald
Speaker 27: Trump promised that he would crack down on illegal immigration,
Speaker 27: and that is what we are seeing in these surprise raids.
Speaker 27: They weren't expected here in Los Angeles, and I think
Speaker 27: that is what has really rattled a lot of Angelino's here.
Speaker 27: They didn't see them coming, and now these ice agents
Speaker 27: being met with a lot of anger and fury on
Speaker 27: the streets.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Lauren, thanks for that. I know you've been going
Speaker 2: on this story well, it seems to be forever. I've
Speaker 2: seen you on the weekend today, and I'll no doubt
Speaker 2: see you on nine years tonight. Stay safe yourself, and
Speaker 2: thanks so much for updating us on the situation there.
Speaker 27: Thanks so much, Luke.
Speaker 2: Good on you, Lauren Tomarty in the US one three
Speaker 2: one eight seven three, just some feedback. Then I got
Speaker 2: a song to play. Look, the bloke who makes pens
Speaker 2: for Donald must be doing well with all the signing
Speaker 2: he's doing with tariffs and laws and all the other stuff.
Speaker 2: Rob is a very good point. They're a thick pen,
Speaker 2: aren't they. It's almost like they're almost like a texter.
Speaker 2: If that's still in the vocabulary, I assume it is.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Rob very much. Indeed, I can tell you,
Speaker 2: said a listener who will remain anonymous. I've been on
Speaker 2: we Guvey for twelve months. I've lost aden Kilo's changed
Speaker 2: my life dramatically. I'm more active, help chronic back and
Speaker 2: hip paid. Most of all, it's had an effect the
Speaker 2: positive effect on my mental health and well being. My
Speaker 2: GPS also using it with great results. Biggest negative two
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty dollars a week. Thank you for getting
Speaker 2: in touch. Appreciate that. Another listener, so Burke bands in
Speaker 2: Israeli but stays quiet over hate preachers here votes over values.
Speaker 2: But then again, this is the left. Thank you for that, Luke.
Speaker 2: Why is mediocre mens only using Christian church lands to
Speaker 2: solve the immigration housing crisis? Richard? Thank you, Luke. Please
Speaker 2: don't use my name, you can call me Basil. I've
Speaker 2: been using Munjaro for three months, almost lost twenty kilos
Speaker 2: what I was reluctant to get into it, but I
Speaker 2: thought the medical implications of being forty five and one
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty are worse than side effects. I've had
Speaker 2: almost no side effects, eating healthy, going to the gym,
Speaker 2: sleeping better. Wow, that's amazing. Thank you, Basil. A lot
Speaker 2: of people have had great success. Again, I don't want
Speaker 2: to give you the idea that I'm saying oh you
Speaker 2: need to be on this. I'm absolutely not. As I
Speaker 2: always say, it's a matter between you and your doctor.
Speaker 2: But as entitled as I am to tell you of
Speaker 2: the reported side effects, so am I entitled to say
Speaker 2: here are people claiming to have done well, Luke. The
Speaker 2: issue with oozempig is that it hasn't been used for
Speaker 2: long enough a time to provide a clear picture. And
Speaker 2: that's a very fair comment. Thank you for it this one.
Speaker 2: Why would you take a drug when everything it does
Speaker 2: can be done naturally? Anyone can lose weight naturally. By
Speaker 2: the way, GPS are not knowledgeable. My wife has been
Speaker 2: offered ozeenpic since he's not overweight. Well, we don't know
Speaker 2: those circumstances, Neil, but we take you at your work mate,
Speaker 2: if it look things can be done naturally, but not
Speaker 2: everything's easy. And you know I was once of the mind,
Speaker 2: oh just get active and eat less. But if it
Speaker 2: was that easy, everyone would do it, as I say
Speaker 2: in the classics. So some occasionally, some people need help
Speaker 2: and if that gives them help. Again, it's not a
Speaker 2: matter for me. It's a matter of between you and
Speaker 2: your doctor. You can sort that app between yourselves. But
Speaker 2: thank you for the feedback. A body's been located by
Speaker 2: police divers after a search operation for a missing man.
Speaker 2: About twenty to eight this morning, emergency services called to
Speaker 2: Bluefish Point at Manly following reports to thirty three or
Speaker 2: old man had fallen from rocks and into the water
Speaker 2: while fishing with a group offers. Officers rather attended. An
Speaker 2: extensive search operation has been underway, marine rescue tole Ambulance
Speaker 2: rescue helicopter the police diving unit. About ten thirty this morning,
Speaker 2: police divers retrieved a body believed to be that of
Speaker 2: the missing man from water nearby. A report will be
Speaker 2: prepared for the coroner. That's terribly sad again. Police investigating
Speaker 2: a traffic incident at Kuma this morning in Queensland. Initial
Speaker 2: investigations indicate shortly before nine am, a dark BMW exiting
Speaker 2: a calm meat at bet Road and Waterway Drive at
Speaker 2: lost control and struck a group sitting on a barrier.
Speaker 2: A teenage Mail sustained a leg injury, an eighteen year
Speaker 2: old Mail suffered a significant leg injury. That've been taken
Speaker 2: to Gold Coast Hospital. The driver, a twenty year old man,
Speaker 2: has been spoken to by police. Inquiries continue the Forensic
Speaker 2: Crash Unit continued their investigations. We'll see if we can
Speaker 2: update that has I'm GOODAYI look yes, how are you?
Speaker 2: Little good?
Speaker 10: Hell?
Speaker 2: Are you?
Speaker 26: It's pretty bizarre just hearing the report coming from the
Speaker 26: US about people who are protesting. First of all, I
Speaker 26: believe a lot of those protesters sponsored this man. Whatever
Speaker 26: you think of Donald Trump, this man went to the
Speaker 26: election and campaign he will deport illegal immigrants, forget about
Speaker 26: what they are called, or documented or not. And he's
Speaker 26: doing exactly what he's been voted to do. But then
Speaker 26: we've got some people who are protesting and who would
Speaker 26: burn down their cities because he's doing that. Frankly speaking,
Speaker 26: I think that's pretty ludicrous.
Speaker 23: And let me be say this.
Speaker 2: I am an immigrant, yep.
Speaker 23: I know what it took me to come to this country,
Speaker 23: and I know what it took people who I know
Speaker 23: am my friends to get to the US. As I
Speaker 23: speak to you, there are people who have been on
Speaker 23: the queue to go to the US for twelve years.
Speaker 23: Part of the people in families that I know, have
Speaker 23: died waiting on the queue. They've got families in the
Speaker 23: US waiting on the quito buy there on time.
Speaker 10: And to go to the US.
Speaker 23: But some people think that they can break the rules,
Speaker 23: bring the law of the country and just walk into
Speaker 23: those countries. What the bloody hell should they see?
Speaker 2: Well, you know what, now I can hear the passion.
Speaker 2: It's Unfurstly, thank you for listening to our show, and secondly,
Speaker 2: thank you for ringing. And that's exactly the point I mean,
Speaker 2: you have, don't you. You have rules, you have laws,
Speaker 2: and they're there for good reasons, and partly to have
Speaker 2: order amongst the community, whether that be the laws of
Speaker 2: the land dealing with people's behavior, or the laws of
Speaker 2: a country which lay at How you if you want
Speaker 2: to go to that country and participate as a constituent,
Speaker 2: how you follow that process? Now you can't just turn up,
Speaker 2: knock on the door, I'm here, and then someone says,
Speaker 2: hang on, there's a queue. There goes back about twelve
Speaker 2: years and see what we get has done. And this
Speaker 2: is what irritates you. You know what Adam me is people say, oh,
Speaker 2: there's no queue. There is a damn Q. It's full
Speaker 2: of people that want to do it properly. And you're
Speaker 2: right about Trump. I mean, no one should be surprised
Speaker 2: by all of this and let's hope people take the
Speaker 2: appropriate degree of chill pills and get through it. Thank
Speaker 2: you for calling, mate, I appreciate it very much. Indeed,
Speaker 2: it's nineteen after midday on two GB, four BC and
Speaker 2: two double C. This is Weekends with Luke Grant and
Speaker 2: Rob Thomas. After I play you this, Jim Haynes will
Speaker 2: be here. We're talking about movies and movie theaters and
Speaker 2: we welcome your calls on all of that. Nineteen after midday.
Speaker 2: Now that's Rob Thomas. I don't know why, I just
Speaker 2: I really like that tune. Probably of course it's a
Speaker 2: good tune, right, And that's called Little Wonders. And this
Speaker 2: is Weekends with Luke Grant and we're about to pause momentarily,
Speaker 2: take a break and come back with another Little wonder
Speaker 2: Jim Haynes.
Speaker 7: I'm Australia.
Speaker 11: I rode with Clancy, I flew with Smithy, I sailed
Speaker 11: with Cook, I trecked with Kidman, explored with Moreson, I
Speaker 11: held Kakoda, I held Gamers need Kelly and Janda Murrel.
Speaker 11: I am the sound of what did you Redo? I
Speaker 11: am Australia. I'm silver stars on a flag that's true blue.
Speaker 2: Hey, Jim Haynes is here. Gooday, Hello, Luke. How you go?
Speaker 11: Oh, I'm fine and it's lovely to be here.
Speaker 18: Boy.
Speaker 11: I've been doing some research onto the Australian history of
Speaker 11: movies and all sorts of aspects of it. And speaking
Speaker 11: of which, I'm doing a talk on that story of
Speaker 11: Sydney Harbor. It's geology, the rock carvings, the artists, and
Speaker 11: particularly a wonderful ship called the Sobrayan which became the
Speaker 11: EIGHTHHMS or the I think it was a training ship,
Speaker 11: might might not have been HMS. Ting geera and history,
Speaker 11: and I forgot to advertise. I usually advertised this for
Speaker 11: a few weeks. I forgot didn't mention it until we
Speaker 11: were on the show last week.

Speaker 11: of a program it was because we had Lorraine call in,
Speaker 11: whose parents actually owned the rialto in Brisbane, Brisbane. One
Speaker 11: of our questions about all the Greek movies. But Lorraine
Speaker 11: didn't leave an address, So Lorraine, you know, and how
Speaker 11: typical is it? Luke I tried to put in a
Speaker 11: question for Brisbane listeners and Lorraine wins it. And she
Speaker 11: lives in Sydney. Lorraine, tell us your address.
Speaker 2: Have we got questions today?
Speaker 23: We have?
Speaker 11: And this is the usual, the pack, the book, the CDs.
Speaker 11: Now this is for Brisbane listeners. Okay, Brisley listeners. I
Speaker 11: want you to name the two science fiction fantasy movies
Speaker 11: that were made in Brisbane and the Gold Coast. And
Speaker 11: one was about a superhero. And I'll tell you where
Speaker 11: it was filmed around Brisbane may have been an extra
Speaker 11: in this. It was filmed at the University of Technology,
Speaker 11: the Queensland University, the William Jolly Bridge. It was filmed
Speaker 11: at a factory and pink and bar and at Churchy
Speaker 11: And for those who don't live in Brisbane, Churchy is
Speaker 11: a famous school of England Grammar School in Brisbane. And
Speaker 11: the second movie, which was also a fantasy movie, it
Speaker 11: was filmed at the Gold Coast and it's about The
Speaker 11: movie starts off Luke with a painting. The kids are
Speaker 11: looking at a painting of a ship on the wall
Speaker 11: and suddenly it comes alive and they get flooded and
Speaker 11: they end up going through a magical portal to the
Speaker 11: Gold Coast. And who wouldn't want to do?
Speaker 2: Who?
Speaker 14: If you know the.
Speaker 11: Two movies, both movies, you'll get the Jim Haynes package
Speaker 11: And for Sydney listeners, here we go. It's one of
Speaker 11: my favorite characters. Luke Colonel Barney, Barney the builder. He
Speaker 11: built just about everything in Sydney, built the semi circular Key,
Speaker 11: he built Victoria Barracks, he built all the gun in placements.
Speaker 11: But he built two useless fortresses in Sydney that cost
Speaker 11: an enormous amount of money and the British government went
Speaker 11: off there. They went bonkers because of the expense and
Speaker 11: these two forts were never used. They were completely useless
Speaker 11: until two movies were made, one about one of them
Speaker 11: in nineteen fifty nine used one of them, and the
Speaker 11: other one was used in a movie in two thousand.
Speaker 11: So where are the forts and what are the movies?
Speaker 11: And that's for our Sydney listeners.
Speaker 2: Right, three, one, eight seven three?
Speaker 11: And if you were an extra in any of those movies,
Speaker 11: I want people to ring in and tell us what
Speaker 11: it was like being an extra in all of Because
Speaker 11: they're making so many movies.
Speaker 2: Have you been in a movie?
Speaker 11: No, I've been on TV quite a bit, but I
Speaker 11: don't think I've never No, I can't never in an
Speaker 11: actual movie. Right, Yeah, they missed out, didn't they?
Speaker 2: They did miss that. They did miss out. I don't
Speaker 2: want to get carried away, but I am going to
Speaker 2: say this. I was thinking, don't say it. But I
Speaker 2: am a bloke many years ago said to me, he said,
Speaker 2: I got an idea for a comedy and it's it
Speaker 2: involves a couple of cops. I reckon, I reckon, you'd
Speaker 2: be perfect for them. You're interested, I said, damn right,
Speaker 2: I'm interested. Nothing until I saw it? What was it?
Speaker 2: I'm not going to say it?
Speaker 11: Oh, Okay, Well I reckon you and I could do that.
Speaker 11: I could be the offsider and you could be the
Speaker 11: you know, the good cop.
Speaker 2: No, I would be the bad. Well I wasn't a
Speaker 2: bad cop. I was. I was to be the simple,
Speaker 2: sarcastic old bloke. Wow, that's that's something of an acting Ah. Right,

Speaker 2: On the text, Wayne says, could you tell me the
Speaker 2: name of the movie with a motorbike theme that was
Speaker 2: filmed in North Bondai, probably back in the sixties.
Speaker 11: Oh, it rings a bell. I'll do it. I'll do
Speaker 11: my homework.
Speaker 2: I'll find it.
Speaker 12: Right.
Speaker 11: I do remember it, do you? But only vaguely? I
Speaker 11: remember most things vaguely.
Speaker 2: Get a mark.
Speaker 18: Yeah.
Speaker 6: It was listed in Possible Too and filmed at their island,
Speaker 6: report at their island at La Parus.
Speaker 11: It was what about the other one?
Speaker 6: I don't know the other that I was working on
Speaker 6: the movie there as a rigat. We set up all
Speaker 6: the big reps for the motorbike jump and all that
Speaker 6: sort of stuff. Oh wow, I need to need to see.
Speaker 2: Did you did you meet Tom?
Speaker 6: We were just a peasant.

Speaker 2: great company with us too, my friend, we're peasants with you.
Speaker 2: Thanks Mark for calling. Good Ay, Rob, Hello a mat,
Speaker 2: Hello mate? Have you got an answer? Have you?
Speaker 14: The Siege of Pinchgut Fort Dennison.
Speaker 11: That's it And it was nineteen fifty nine, and it
Speaker 11: wasn't a very good movie. It was an entirely fictional
Speaker 11: movie about escaped prisoners on Pinchcut Island, which is Fort Dennison.
Speaker 11: And you're quite right. So those two they only got
Speaker 11: half of each, but you know I'll give I'll give
Speaker 11: them a package each. Okay for knowing it was a
Speaker 11: mission impossible. Bear Island which is in Botany Bay and
Speaker 11: Pinchcut or Fort Dennison, which is in Sydney Harbor. They
Speaker 11: were both built an enormous expense to stop the Russians
Speaker 11: invading us in the eighteen fifties by Colonel Barney and
Speaker 11: They were completely useless until filmmakers decided to use them
Speaker 11: a long time after.
Speaker 2: Someone suggesting the film was called Stone. It was from
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy four. A motorcycle gang cracks down the people,
Speaker 2: killing them off one by one after one of their members.
Speaker 2: Witnesses are political. That's an eath, yes, or at least
Speaker 2: June nineteen seventy four. I don't know if that's an
Speaker 2: ai on. Here we go. We've got Wikipedia, so now
Speaker 2: we know everything. We know everything Outroll biker film written
Speaker 2: direct and produced by Sandy Harbut a low budget film
Speaker 2: by Head and Productions start Ken Shorter, Helen Moose, Hughes Keysburn,
Speaker 2: Sandy Harbut.
Speaker 11: Wow, well I wondered if it was sort of on
Speaker 11: it would have been before Easy Rider, wouldn't it.
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 2: But it ran for two hours. Wow. Wow.
Speaker 11: I'll tell you what movies made in the sixties which
Speaker 11: we all thought so groovy and wonderful. Don't watch them now.
Speaker 2: It also features Rebecca Gilling, Bill Hunter and Helen Moore.
Speaker 10: Wow.
Speaker 2: They were soundtrack composed by Billy Green yep, makes sense. Yeah.
Speaker 11: There were certain Australian actors who were in everything. Bill
Speaker 11: Hunter was one of them. Chips, Rafferty any moneysy movie.
Speaker 2: They were in it right, okay, Barry good eight good boys.
Speaker 29: I was in the ned Kelly was Mick Jagger?
Speaker 11: Wow?
Speaker 2: Where did you?
Speaker 11: Where did you have to.
Speaker 29: Go out to Braidwood? It was all done in Braidle,
Speaker 29: or just out of Brady where I was filmed, but
Speaker 29: main street of Braidwood in those days. The movie they
Speaker 29: covered it in soil. The whole main street yep was
Speaker 29: covered in soil, so they made it look like the
Speaker 29: old times, but were out on a property and I
Speaker 29: hired them a white bull, white erapant that was a
Speaker 29: white as the snow. Anyhow, the story was that there
Speaker 29: was aly a young bull that wouldn't lead to well,
Speaker 29: and the stunt men that were riding it, not me
Speaker 29: riding the bull, and the bloke that was leading it
Speaker 29: couldn't lead it, and the ball kept breaking away. So
Speaker 29: the big Pommy at the Big Pummy director said to me, Barry,
Speaker 29: will you lead it? I said yes, mate, And within
Speaker 29: three minutes or two minutes probably, I had a mesh
Speaker 29: bed on a hat, backet of houses and boots, and
Speaker 29: I was in the nad Kelly film. He tried to
Speaker 29: break away the ball. I kept turning him around. I
Speaker 29: have to say, Mick Jagger was one of the biggest
Speaker 29: pigs of a man I've ever met, and that no ball.
Speaker 11: Now, listen what you should have done. You should have
Speaker 11: said something like well there or something, because if you
Speaker 11: have a speaking part, they have to pay you more.
Speaker 29: Oh well, that's that's right. But I keep looking for
Speaker 29: the credits. But I don't get any credit in the
Speaker 29: movie on Barry.
Speaker 2: I am never watching that film again. And when someone says, oh,
Speaker 2: do you want to watch Dad Kelly, I'll say, no,
Speaker 2: bloody way now made Barry a Cambra should have heard
Speaker 2: the way Jagger spoke to him, and he didn't get
Speaker 2: enough money.
Speaker 29: As a joke, he used to He had marry and
Speaker 29: Faithful as his lovely lady, of course in those days.
Speaker 29: And they were riding in the seying cantering across the ridge,
Speaker 29: and she was getting hurt when she was riding behind
Speaker 29: the saddle, so they put a bit of phone between
Speaker 29: her and the saddle the stop it from being hurt.
Speaker 29: And when they came back to the tenth for morning tea,
Speaker 29: here he was snitching at the bit of phone.
Speaker 2: Oh, for goodness, me okay mate, Wow, that's next level.
Speaker 2: Thank you for most of that.
Speaker 11: It's amazing the cause we get it.
Speaker 2: Really is the wow. The judge who sentenced ned. You
Speaker 2: know who played the judge?
Speaker 11: I don't. His name was red Redmond, Judge Redmond Frank.
Speaker 11: Of course it would be anything serials and pontificating would
Speaker 11: have to be for ranthering.
Speaker 2: Did you know him?
Speaker 11: No, no, never never met the man. He played Julius
Speaker 11: Caesar and Nero and just about anyone who was you know,
Speaker 11: pompous Boa Herod. I think he played King Herod in
Speaker 11: one movie.
Speaker 10: Dave Hi Boys.
Speaker 2: So yeah, good mate, how are you.
Speaker 12: Very well?
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 19: I had a cameo role as an investigative journalist in
Speaker 19: a Jacqueline Bessett movie called Crime Broker. Wow, we happened
Speaker 19: to film. We filmed the day I'd been up all
Speaker 19: night for the birth of my first child.
Speaker 11: Well, did you have to play someone who looked tired
Speaker 11: and harassed?
Speaker 30: I just had to tired pilosly harassed them. But when
Speaker 30: I turned up, they actually didn't have a script because
Speaker 30: they didn't know what investiative journalists who chase people down
Speaker 30: the street on TV did. Yeah, and so We sort
Speaker 30: of shot it and then they said, oh, do you reckon?
Speaker 30: You could do that again word for word.
Speaker 11: I was like, what, so you had lived and then
Speaker 11: they asked you to repeat it word for word.
Speaker 30: Yeah, And then we had to get someone in, so
Speaker 30: I had to write it all downside to remember exactly
Speaker 30: what I said. We did it about three times.
Speaker 23: But it was a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: How did you get this, mate? Did you? Were you
Speaker 2: on the lookout for shoe as acting professionally? Not at all? No,
Speaker 2: not all?
Speaker 30: I no, no, it's just a fellow that I knew
Speaker 30: rang me up and he said would you like to
Speaker 30: do something? And I said sure, why not?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 30: Absolutely, a bit a bit of fun. And I thought,
Speaker 30: jacquelinber said had always been a favorite of mine since
Speaker 30: that fantastic scene with Nick else in the seat. Yes,
Speaker 30: and I thought, oh, you know, to see her and
Speaker 30: the fleas would be something else.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and let's not discount the fact that she might
Speaker 2: have seen you, And thought, jeez, there's a bit of
Speaker 2: nick nolty about Dave.
Speaker 11: Yeah, shame, this bloke's just ADDIE's first child.
Speaker 2: But now she wouldn't have done that because I guess
Speaker 2: I had your first time what was I'm thinking? Damn it, Sorry, Dave.
Speaker 11: Dave, you should have had a writing credit. Yeah, you
Speaker 11: wrote half the script.
Speaker 19: No, I'm not quite, not quite, but I for whatever reason,
Speaker 19: my cameo roll went from about three minutes to six minutes.
Speaker 2: All right, now, well, I'm doing my best to find
Speaker 2: a crime broker. In nineteen ninety three, Australian Japanese television
Speaker 2: film starring Jacqueline Bessett as a judge who moonlight as
Speaker 2: a crime broker, was also known as Corrupt Justice and
Speaker 2: was made here in Australia. Thank you, Dave. One day

Speaker 17: behind the rescue paints.
Speaker 30: And what they did.
Speaker 17: What they did is they filmed when the Surf Life
Speaker 17: Saving Championships were on, so all the crowd was there,
Speaker 17: and then they had say Nick Tate and Grant Kenny
Speaker 17: that trying to meet us up and they'd throw fifty
Speaker 17: dollars notes up in the air to get the crowd
Speaker 17: to move over so they'd have a crowd to film.

Speaker 11: paid them an extras fee.
