<v Speaker 1>Onto GV. This is sitting now with Clinton.

0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:19.040
<v Speaker 2>Maynard, Wednesday, June eighteen, one three one eight seven three.

0:00:19.120 --> 0:00:22.040
<v Speaker 2>It is Clinton Maynard here. It is a stunning winter's afternoon,

0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:24.200
<v Speaker 2>and I know there's a lot of woe in the

0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:26.120
<v Speaker 2>world at the moment, but I was walking through Darling

0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:30.400
<v Speaker 2>Harbor a little earlier glorious sunshine, and it just struck me, boy,

0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:32.920
<v Speaker 2>we are really lucky to live in a city like

0:00:33.000 --> 0:00:35.560
<v Speaker 2>this that we can be basically a month in the winter,

0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:38.440
<v Speaker 2>coldest part of the year and just amazing where that

0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:42.640
<v Speaker 2>really makes you appreciate how wonderful our country, our city

0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:44.720
<v Speaker 2>is now on those woes of the world. If you

0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:47.120
<v Speaker 2>are driving at the moment right now, if you see

0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:50.159
<v Speaker 2>petrol cheap bite, the war in the Middle East is

0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:52.479
<v Speaker 2>going to drive up world oil prices. We're already seeing that.

0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:54.680
<v Speaker 2>It's going to lead to petrol prices going up as well.

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:57.840
<v Speaker 2>I spotted E ten today for a dollar sixty nine liter.

0:00:57.960 --> 0:00:59.959
<v Speaker 2>So if you see petrol around that dollars seventy mine

0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:03.160
<v Speaker 2>buy it. Coming up on the program Power Bills ad

0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:05.040
<v Speaker 2>you to go up on the first July, so two

0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:08.240
<v Speaker 2>weeks away. Reality is the increases in New South Wales

0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:10.640
<v Speaker 2>are more than those in Victoria. It's not fair. There

0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:12.679
<v Speaker 2>is some hope today of reform. We're gonna look at that.

0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna hold an honesty session, Yes, an honesty session.

0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:20.039

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 2>a lot of fallout from what Billy Slater has said today.

0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:33.360
<v Speaker 2>He's made an apology for the comments that reference to

0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:36.200
<v Speaker 2>late Paul Green, and that was when he was responding

0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:38.520
<v Speaker 2>to the accusation that he's a grub that end up

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:41.200
<v Speaker 2>may end up firing up the Queenslanders. I think MG

0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:43.920
<v Speaker 2>after five thirty and I will spin the two GB

0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:47.880

<v Speaker 2>not thousands of dollars and great prizes this afternoon. You

0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:53.120
<v Speaker 2>need the queue to call, so keep on listening. You

0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:55.280
<v Speaker 2>are my eyes and eares when it's happening in Sydney now,

0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:57.880
<v Speaker 2>so text me zero four six, zero eight seven three

0:01:57.880 --> 0:01:59.760
<v Speaker 2>outs seven to three. Have you say one three, one

0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:11.400
<v Speaker 2>eight seven three, Well in Sydney now more details have

0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:15.480
<v Speaker 2>been released about the allegations against four teenagers accused of

0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:19.200
<v Speaker 2>gang raping a seventeen year old girl in Sydney, Southwest

0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:22.880
<v Speaker 2>over the course of six hours. This is difficult for

0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:27.440
<v Speaker 2>us to comprehend. This is difficult to listen to and discussed,

0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:30.240
<v Speaker 2>especially when you cast your mind back to the scaff

0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:33.680
<v Speaker 2>Brother's case many years ago in the early two thousand

0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:37.640
<v Speaker 2>that rocked this city. But the details of this crime,

0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:40.000
<v Speaker 2>these allegations, they need to be told because we as

0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 2>a society need to prevent this sort of thing happening.

0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:47.120
<v Speaker 2>Police are revealed today the alleged attack was filmed. The

0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:50.920
<v Speaker 2>four accused rage between fourteen and nineteen. Two of them

0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:54.280
<v Speaker 2>have appeared in court. Josh Bright, our senior reporter, is

0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:56.959
<v Speaker 2>covering this case. Good afternoon, Josh. What's occurred today?

0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:02.080
<v Speaker 3>Good afternoon, Clinton. Yes, that's right. So aside from obviously

0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:06.079
<v Speaker 3>the details being made public, as you say, we had

0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:10.520
<v Speaker 3>the charges laid against two of these four accused in

0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:14.920
<v Speaker 3>this matter, we police revealing that back in December. So

0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:20.440
<v Speaker 3>this alleged incident happened in December of last year, now

0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:23.520
<v Speaker 3>not long after less than a week after the incident

0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:25.880
<v Speaker 3>was reported to police. As sixteen year old and a

0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:31.040
<v Speaker 3>fourteen year old were arrested. They remain bail refused their matter,

0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:35.640
<v Speaker 3>due back in court again in August. Charges now laid

0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:38.839
<v Speaker 3>against an eighteen year old and a nineteen year old

0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:43.400
<v Speaker 3>over this incident as well. The nineteen year old facing

0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:47.360
<v Speaker 3>Liverpool Court today where there was no application for vail

0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:50.920
<v Speaker 3>it was formally refused. Speaking outside his lawyer saying that

0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:55.400
<v Speaker 3>his client maintains his innocent. The eighteen year old faced

0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:59.320
<v Speaker 3>a due to face a children's court today. So the

0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:03.360
<v Speaker 3>whole case, I guess it made public today after the

0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:06.600
<v Speaker 3>charging of those other two, but all up for steal

0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:08.000
<v Speaker 3>with cases before the courts.

0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:11.160
<v Speaker 2>The Sex Crime Commander Jane Dougherty has spoken today and

0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:14.080
<v Speaker 2>it has been revealed there will be an allegation that

0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:16.440
<v Speaker 2>this crime over the course of six hours. Part of

0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:17.599
<v Speaker 2>this was actually filmed.

0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:22.279
<v Speaker 3>Yes, that's right, so the allegation parts of it were filmed,

0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:27.720
<v Speaker 3>and also that it was during the initial alleged sexual

0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:30.920
<v Speaker 3>assault in the car part of it was there was

0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:35.960
<v Speaker 3>a video call as well. So obviously you know, on

0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:39.919
<v Speaker 3>top of everything else that this seventeen year old is

0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:42.040
<v Speaker 3>dealing with Just as you said at the start and

0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:45.800
<v Speaker 3>as Jane Dougherty said the alleged behavior is heinous and

0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:49.840
<v Speaker 3>that it beggars belief and essentially that men of any aid,

0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:54.040
<v Speaker 3>regardless of the age of these accused, really anyone should

0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:56.480
<v Speaker 3>know that this is not how you treat another human being.

0:04:56.640 --> 0:05:00.559
<v Speaker 2>The allegations are horrific. Thank you, Josh. Thanks Unt Josh Bryant,

0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:03.880
<v Speaker 2>our senior reporter. As Josh explained, they're the four now

0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:07.000
<v Speaker 2>two appeared in court late last year, the youngest two

0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:10.200
<v Speaker 2>before children's court, and then another two who've now been arrested,

0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:13.960
<v Speaker 2>have appeared in court today. All four are in custody

0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:19.520
<v Speaker 2>twelve past three. Now Anthony Aberzi could still meet Donald

0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:21.799
<v Speaker 2>Trump in the next week. Of course, the US President

0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.719
<v Speaker 2>flew out of Canada and the G seven meeting without

0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:27.720
<v Speaker 2>meeting mister Alberinisi. He did hold talks with some of

0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:30.960
<v Speaker 2>the world leaders. Mister Alberizi says, Look, it is understandable

0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:34.240
<v Speaker 2>what's occurred, but he's been asked by the reporters on

0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:36.920
<v Speaker 2>the trail today, did he manage to make some sort

0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:38.960
<v Speaker 2>of personal contact with Donald Trump.

0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:42.719
<v Speaker 4>Now it hasn't, but I spoke with key advisers to

0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:48.160
<v Speaker 4>the president. The president has been engaged obviously with the

0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:55.800
<v Speaker 4>circumstances around Iran and Israel. It's perfectly understandable the decision

0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:59.080
<v Speaker 4>that he made that meant that the meetings that were

0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:05.480
<v Speaker 4>scheduled just with myself, but with India, Ukraine including President Zelanski,

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:09.839
<v Speaker 4>Mexico and other countries didn't go ahead today.

0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:12.480
<v Speaker 2>But we're all mature about that.

0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:16.640
<v Speaker 4>We understand the circumstances which are there, and we have

0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:22.800
<v Speaker 4>agreed through our American friends that will reschedule the meeting.

0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:24.880
<v Speaker 2>He has now left the door open to attending the

0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.320
<v Speaker 2>NATO conference, which is next week. Originally the plan was

0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:29.440
<v Speaker 2>for the Deputy Prime Minister, Richard Miles to go along.

0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:32.479
<v Speaker 2>Mister Alberinezi says he is considering a change of plans.

0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:34.760
<v Speaker 2>He has met with the NATO Secretary General, so the

0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.480
<v Speaker 2>door is Open'd be embarrassing if the PM then goes

0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:39.880
<v Speaker 2>to NATO next week and misses another meeting. What I

0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:43.360
<v Speaker 2>would recommend to mister ALBINIZI is book those airfares today.

0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:45.840
<v Speaker 2>You know what flight's are like. You leave it too

0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:47.800
<v Speaker 2>late and the airfares go up. So if you want

0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:50.320
<v Speaker 2>to save the tax pays a few dollars, maybe book now.

0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:51.880
<v Speaker 2>If it matters to you.

0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:55.919
<v Speaker 5>You'll hear it here Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard until.

0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:59.279
<v Speaker 2>Six A State of Origin two tonight alive from Opter Stadium.

0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:01.000
<v Speaker 2>You'll hear the full cut which of the continuous call

0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:03.320
<v Speaker 2>with Levy and the boys. But I want to check

0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:07.000
<v Speaker 2>in to my counterpart at six PR Oliver Peterson, because

0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:09.559
<v Speaker 2>I want to get an understanding about does Perth really

0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:12.480
<v Speaker 2>care about rugby league? Now? They should? The Western Bears

0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:15.160
<v Speaker 2>are coming, will they, I should say the Perth Bears.

0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:17.000
<v Speaker 2>They're going to be known as the Perth Bears? Do

0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:20.520
<v Speaker 2>they really care about New South Wales or Queensland? OLLI person,

0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:21.360
<v Speaker 2>thanks for joining.

0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:23.320
<v Speaker 6>Us, Good on your Queenstin, Good afternoon.

0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:25.840
<v Speaker 2>I know you care about rugby league. Will the fans

0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:27.200
<v Speaker 2>it up to stadium tonight care?

0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:28.640
<v Speaker 6>Well, it's a sellout.

0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:31.600
<v Speaker 7>It's officially a sellout, so sixty thousand people are there.

0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:34.800
<v Speaker 7>My calculations are at least two thirds of the stadium

0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:37.239
<v Speaker 7>or West Australian, so we've got about twenty thousand people

0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:40.080
<v Speaker 7>they estimate have flown over from New South Wales or

0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:41.280
<v Speaker 7>Queensland in particular.

0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:43.320
<v Speaker 6>And if you were part.

0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.640
<v Speaker 7>Of my program yesterday at the Crown Sports Bar, here

0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:46.240
<v Speaker 7>in Perth.

0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:48.360
<v Speaker 6>Clinton, when mal Ma Ninger arrived.

0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:50.520
<v Speaker 7>There was a standing ovation and a big chant of

0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:53.880
<v Speaker 7>here come the Bears. So the appetites here we're warming up.

0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Who will they support tonight queens then on New South Wales.

0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:58.120
<v Speaker 8>Definitely Queensland.

0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:00.800
<v Speaker 7>So really one hundred percent behind them are and that's

0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:02.960
<v Speaker 7>heartbreaking for somebody like myself as you know, who was

0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:04.080
<v Speaker 7>born in Sydney and I'm a.

0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:05.560
<v Speaker 6>New Southwest Australian.

0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:09.200
<v Speaker 7>But there is always the love of that underdog status

0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:11.960
<v Speaker 7>and I think any excuse that Turth can hate Sydney,

0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:13.880
<v Speaker 7>that'll definitely to be supporting Queensland.

0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:15.960
<v Speaker 2>You were at Optor Stadium this morning for an event.

0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:19.520
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, there was the Friends of Rugby League touch football match.

0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:22.160
<v Speaker 6>Big Mel was there and Freddie Fitler was there.

0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.760
<v Speaker 7>The WA Premier Roger Cook Andrew Abdough was there. But

0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:26.080
<v Speaker 7>none of us played in the end.

0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:28.800
<v Speaker 6>Clinton because there's a lot of rain around here in person.

0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:31.960
<v Speaker 7>They didn't want to ruin the pitch for tonight's main event,

0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:33.920
<v Speaker 7>but had a good look at the end of Sancton.

0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:37.520
<v Speaker 7>The locker rooms at Opta Stadium are like nothing else

0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:39.760
<v Speaker 7>in this being a queens Land home game, they can

0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:42.160
<v Speaker 7>kit it out as though they're playing up at sun Corpse,

0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:45.080
<v Speaker 7>so there's a few more hurdles to jump, I think

0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:46.920
<v Speaker 7>for the new South Wales team.

0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:48.800
<v Speaker 6>Tonight, which is obviously pretty confidence that should be.

0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:52.120
<v Speaker 7>But when we got out there onto the pitch this morning,

0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:55.240
<v Speaker 7>even though it is a circular stadium.

0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:57.840
<v Speaker 6>Built for AFL, you could feel the atmosphere.

0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:01.040
<v Speaker 7>You're still quite close that the cauldron tonight is just

0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:01.760
<v Speaker 7>going to be electric.

0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:03.440
<v Speaker 2>I think it's fabulous to hear because I think there

0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:04.920
<v Speaker 2>are a lot of Rugby League fans on the East

0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:07.760
<v Speaker 2>Coast who don't really have an appreciation of the Perth

0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:10.360
<v Speaker 2>feeling about our sport well we call houtsport on the

0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:12.120
<v Speaker 2>East Coast. But you will be getting a team, I

0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:14.720
<v Speaker 2>think believe tonight the logo for the Perth Bears is

0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:15.720
<v Speaker 2>going to be released as well.

0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:19.640
<v Speaker 7>That's our understanding, which will be fantastic and I believe

0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:22.520
<v Speaker 7>it will very much honor the tradition of the old

0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:25.839
<v Speaker 7>North Sydney Bears logo, just with a modern twist on that,

0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:29.000
<v Speaker 7>and that's going to build the excitement because I think

0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:31.440
<v Speaker 7>through the COVID years, in particular Clinton, when the game

0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:33.600
<v Speaker 7>was sped up the six again rule. A lot of

0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:36.400
<v Speaker 7>casual observers over here, how exciting is this product?

0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:39.199
<v Speaker 6>Origin has always been big in Perth to be honest.

0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:40.959
<v Speaker 7>That the pubs are always full on a Wednesday night

0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:42.880
<v Speaker 7>for Origin because people like.

0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:44.839
<v Speaker 6>To see the big spectacle of the game.

0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:49.840
<v Speaker 7>It will grow and the natural excitement around Origin this week.

0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:51.720
<v Speaker 7>And don't forget we've got the Knights and the Dolphins

0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:54.640
<v Speaker 7>here in Perth on Saturday and Isaiah Otowa is obviously

0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:55.920
<v Speaker 7>playing one of the most.

0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:58.880
<v Speaker 6>Form footballers in the league, so there's a bit more

0:09:58.920 --> 0:09:59.600
<v Speaker 6>buzz around.

0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.160
<v Speaker 7>We need a bit of help though from the other

0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:04.520
<v Speaker 7>media organizations to get behind and let people know and

0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:06.720
<v Speaker 7>they pick up the daily paper their Origins actually on

0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:09.120
<v Speaker 7>tonight because the next no mention of it.

0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:10.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's certainly had a lot of coverage of this.

0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:13.080
<v Speaker 2>And quick tip from you New.

0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:15.920
<v Speaker 7>South Wales by about thirty because they've never lost.

0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:16.640
<v Speaker 8>At up to Stadium.

0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:19.760
<v Speaker 2>Good to hear, Thank you Ellie anytime. Clinton Oli Peterson

0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:24.520
<v Speaker 2>from six pr Mark leaving the continuous call team on

0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:27.120
<v Speaker 2>air live from up to Stadium, Perth from seven o'clock tonight.

0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:29.640
<v Speaker 2>So you tell me are you happy that Origin's being

0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:32.160
<v Speaker 2>played in Perth? Now? I actually think it is wise

0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:34.400
<v Speaker 2>to have one of the three games in neutral venue.

0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:36.680
<v Speaker 2>That's the fairest way to do it. But up until

0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:40.320
<v Speaker 2>recent years, well it was twenty seventeen, it wasn't like that. Often.

0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.199
<v Speaker 2>It was usually Brisbane or Sydney would host two games

0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:45.560
<v Speaker 2>and then every few years to be one played in

0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:48.400
<v Speaker 2>a state. During COVID they're all played in Queensland or

0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:50.719
<v Speaker 2>we should get some back for that. Now I think

0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:53.440
<v Speaker 2>it's only fair to have one game played at the

0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:56.120
<v Speaker 2>neutral venue. Perth makes sense because the Perth Bears have

0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:59.079
<v Speaker 2>been announced in the last month or so. The mcg's

0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:02.560
<v Speaker 2>host of games Adelaie Where to next Hobart if that

0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:05.160
<v Speaker 2>stadium has ever built? New Zealand. Maybe there is a

0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:07.520
<v Speaker 2>push one three one eight seven three there's been a

0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:10.160
<v Speaker 2>suggestion origin overseas. Do you want to see that? Where

0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:12.920
<v Speaker 2>should the next origin venue be? Let me know if

0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:14.760
<v Speaker 2>you could like to send a text message zero fors

0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:17.200
<v Speaker 2>zero eight seven three out seven three. This is Sydney

0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:20.160
<v Speaker 2>now seventeen degrees in the coast sixteen Campbelltown. All your

0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:22.600
<v Speaker 2>feedback on where the next State of Origin venue should be.

0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:26.440
<v Speaker 2>In just a moment, police have confirmed they've arrested wait

0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:30.520
<v Speaker 2>for this, a fifteen year old boy after a car

0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:34.719
<v Speaker 2>was stolen and crashed this morning and resulted in firearms

0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:39.079
<v Speaker 2>being discovered. Police have told us that a stolen suv

0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:42.080
<v Speaker 2>hit a tree. The driver and passengers then fled the

0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:46.320
<v Speaker 2>scene from Flood Avenue in Riesby. Police investigated throughout the day.

0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:51.280
<v Speaker 2>Following reports of suspicious activity, Officers returned to Flood Avenue

0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:54.920
<v Speaker 2>in Risby where they discovered another car, a Twurter Corolla

0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:57.080
<v Speaker 2>that had been stolen from a Rivesten home so not

0:11:57.200 --> 0:12:00.760
<v Speaker 2>too far away. Using the police helicopter Air and the

0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:05.040
<v Speaker 2>dog Unit, police have then tracked two youths. They've arrested

0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:08.320
<v Speaker 2>a fifteen year old boy. They've located and seized a

0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:11.720
<v Speaker 2>rifle from the home. However, there is another teenage boy

0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:14.559
<v Speaker 2>the police are looking for. He's been described as Maori

0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:17.199
<v Speaker 2>Pacific Islander an appearance. He was last seeing a black

0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:19.240
<v Speaker 2>hooded jumper and black pants.

0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:22.640
<v Speaker 5>If it's happening in Sydney, you'll hear it on Sydney

0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:24.720
<v Speaker 5>Now with Clinton Maynard on.

0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:28.320
<v Speaker 2>To GB twenty three past three. Some feedback on mister

0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:32.000
<v Speaker 2>Albenese's plan to potentially meet with Donald Trump at NATO

0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:34.880
<v Speaker 2>if mister Trump will grant him a meeting, Rodney says,

0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:37.679
<v Speaker 2>why would Donald Trump meet with Albow and his hopeless

0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:41.679
<v Speaker 2>ambassador Kay Rudd. Both have openly criticized mister Trump previously

0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:44.640
<v Speaker 2>Australia's name paying the cost of having these two pelicans

0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:47.720
<v Speaker 2>in control. Sharon says, mister Alberenesi is looking like a

0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:51.360
<v Speaker 2>Trump stalker following him around the world. Here we have

0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:54.600
<v Speaker 2>one leader whose sports supports Israel and another leader who

0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:57.960
<v Speaker 2>is not looking strong your feedback on state of origin.

0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:00.319
<v Speaker 2>So seven o'clock tonight coverage with a con you was

0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:03.000
<v Speaker 2>called team Live from Perth, and Perth is embracing origin.

0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:05.800
<v Speaker 2>The match ad Optor stadium is a sellout. Where should

0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:11.480
<v Speaker 2>the next game be? Hello, Hans, where would you like

0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:12.280
<v Speaker 2>to see the next game?

0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:14.400
<v Speaker 9>Vegs?

0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:16.960
<v Speaker 2>I think I heard you say Las Vegas. There, did

0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:22.760
<v Speaker 2>your hands well? Given how successful the opening round of

0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:29.280
<v Speaker 2>the NRL's been there, it might work U and it

0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:31.240
<v Speaker 2>had mean both both teams that have the same distance

0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:32.520
<v Speaker 2>to travel. I have to let you go their hands.

0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:35.400
<v Speaker 2>The lines not great. I've got another, Dimitri says on

0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:37.520
<v Speaker 2>the text line, yes it should be in Vegas, but

0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:39.400
<v Speaker 2>Dave points out on the text Lin where they've already

0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:42.120
<v Speaker 2>had state of origin in La They did in nineteen

0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:45.360
<v Speaker 2>eighty seven, Dave, but it was an exhibition game. It

0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:47.360
<v Speaker 2>actually didn't count. Now, that was the match. If you

0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:49.560
<v Speaker 2>watch the footy show over the years, the old footage show,

0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:51.760
<v Speaker 2>they used to take the piss out of sterl all

0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:53.760
<v Speaker 2>the time because he played in that game. He was

0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:55.640
<v Speaker 2>half back from New South Wales and they had a

0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.680
<v Speaker 2>giant banner and Sterlough went to crash through the banner,

0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:00.520
<v Speaker 2>run through the ban and he couldn't actually get through.

0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:02.199
<v Speaker 2>Was quite a battle for him.

0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:05.400
<v Speaker 10>Hello Ian, Yeah, Hi Clinton.

0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:09.520
<v Speaker 11>I was just thinking about the mascots for the new

0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:12.360
<v Speaker 11>per so I thought Humphrey Billy there a good choice

0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:12.840
<v Speaker 11>for them.

0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:15.880
<v Speaker 2>They'll be unveiling the logo on the mascot tonight.

0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:16.920
<v Speaker 12>Yeah.

0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:18.800
<v Speaker 11>Well you'd have to wear a pair of pants, but

0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:21.480
<v Speaker 11>you know, fit him out in the Jersey. Saint George

0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:24.720
<v Speaker 11>used to have the yas Saint George Bank Dragon. It'd

0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:25.480
<v Speaker 11>be a good match.

0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:27.840
<v Speaker 2>I think that was the big problem with Humphrey. He

0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:31.120
<v Speaker 2>didn't have those pants, whereas fat Cat did have the pants.

0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:33.560
<v Speaker 2>Thank you. In one three one eight seven to three

0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:36.160
<v Speaker 2>just on Sport, Warwick cap has been in a lot

0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:37.880
<v Speaker 2>of trouble in the past twenty four hours. He's been

0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:42.080
<v Speaker 2>banned from the AFL for five years. Well, he's responded.

0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:45.160
<v Speaker 2>We'll talk about that with Peter Ford. Next. Just confirmation

0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:48.240
<v Speaker 2>Gore Hill Freeway. All lanes have now reopened at Willoughby

0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:52.040
<v Speaker 2>following that fatal crash involving the motorcycle rider who sadly

0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:54.880
<v Speaker 2>has died and a ute today. The bike hit the

0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:57.360
<v Speaker 2>back of the ute. Happened with the northbound lanes that

0:14:57.360 --> 0:14:59.680
<v Speaker 2>have been closed for much of the day. Those lanes

0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:02.720
<v Speaker 2>have now reopened. They had been closed between Brook Street

0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:05.240
<v Speaker 2>and Reserve Road. You need to give yourself some extra

0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:08.240
<v Speaker 2>time though, if you are traveling towards through that area,

0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:10.160
<v Speaker 2>give yourself extra time because they're going to be delayed,

0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:11.480
<v Speaker 2>probably for the rest of the peak out. But those

0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:14.800
<v Speaker 2>lanes are now open once again. Let's check out news headlines.

0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:19.680

<v Speaker 14>attacks after four teenagers were charged with sexually assaulting a

0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:31.760
<v Speaker 14>seventeen year old girl in a six hour ordeal. A

0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:34.720
<v Speaker 14>sixteen year old boy allegedly attacked the girl in a

0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:38.080

0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:55.560
<v Speaker 14>being made on a free trade deal between Australia and Europe.

0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:58.640
<v Speaker 14>There's a push on both sides to reach an agreement

<v Speaker 14>and research suggests daily walking produces the risk of chronic

0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:10.720
<v Speaker 14>lower back pain. Norwegian scientists have found one hundred minutes

0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:13.920
<v Speaker 14>of walking per day can help curb long term pain.

<v Speaker 2>of your favorite ministers, the Energy Minister, Chris Bowen, has

0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:41.160
<v Speaker 2>released a plan today to try to contain electricity price

0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:43.920
<v Speaker 2>rises in New South Wales because bills go up more

0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:46.320
<v Speaker 2>in New South Wales than they do in Victoria. And

0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:48.200
<v Speaker 2>I'll bring you some details about that a little later

0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:50.840
<v Speaker 2>in the program. But on the email two GB dot com,

0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:53.400
<v Speaker 2>Phil Listens in the Hunter Valley says, if fuel prices

0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:55.680
<v Speaker 2>go up, which is likely because of world oil prices

0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:59.000
<v Speaker 2>and electricity prices go up, every single thing that we

0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:02.640
<v Speaker 2>buy in price and why it's going to get even harder.

0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.720
<v Speaker 2>In the Hunter Valley. Our rate rise has just increased.

0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Rates are going up by thirty three percent. And then

0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:11.520
<v Speaker 2>what decision was made by the North Sydney Council last night. Yes,

0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:14.840

0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:19.680
<v Speaker 2>some feedback on where the next State of Origin game

0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:21.080
<v Speaker 2>should be played, if you'd like to see me a

0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:23.760
<v Speaker 2>text message on this one zero four zero eight seven

0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:26.639
<v Speaker 2>three eight seven to three. Dan says, they definitely need

0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:28.960
<v Speaker 2>to take State of Origin New Zealand next. How good

0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:31.000
<v Speaker 2>would that be? I think that'll be the next destination.

0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:33.720
<v Speaker 2>I think given the Yaukland Warriors or the New Zealand

0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:36.280
<v Speaker 2>Warriors as they are called. They sell out every home

0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:38.639
<v Speaker 2>game now they've set a record for the number of

0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:41.159
<v Speaker 2>home games they've sold out. I think they'll play a

0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:44.199
<v Speaker 2>game at Eden Stadium or Eden Park in Auckland, and

0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:47.040
<v Speaker 2>Nick says, why not an Origin game in p and G.

0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:49.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if they'll have the infrastructure. Yes, they're

0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:51.399
<v Speaker 2>going to have an NFL team there in a few

0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:53.320
<v Speaker 2>years time. I don't think they've got a ground that's

0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:56.639
<v Speaker 2>big enough to cater for it now where at Kappa

0:17:56.960 --> 0:17:58.920
<v Speaker 2>is in a lot of trouble. He has been banned

0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:01.800
<v Speaker 2>from attending a F games and he's a Sydney Swan's

0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:06.200
<v Speaker 2>legend for five years because of his behavior towards women.

0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:09.760
<v Speaker 2>But he has responded to this today. Is it too severe?

0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:11.640
<v Speaker 2>Peter Ford joins this good afternoon.

0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:14.399
<v Speaker 15>Peter, Well, look, I think it's a good debate. What

0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:17.920
<v Speaker 15>happened or what did happen or didn't happen, was all

0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:20.320
<v Speaker 15>on the Grand Final Day last year, the AFL Grand

0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:22.959
<v Speaker 15>Final Day. And as you say, he's now been banned

0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:26.480
<v Speaker 15>for five years, not just from any AFL games, but

0:18:26.560 --> 0:18:32.320
<v Speaker 15>he's banned from all AFL venues, including the MCG and

0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:36.160
<v Speaker 15>that's not just for AFL football, that's for concerts, that's

0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:40.760
<v Speaker 15>for cricket, everything. For five years he cannot enter the MCG.

0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:45.480
<v Speaker 15>Now he released a statement this morning to Sunrise. A

0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:47.639
<v Speaker 15>lot of the headlines have been saying that he was

0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:51.720
<v Speaker 15>behaving in a disgusting and a vile manner, but nobody

0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:55.000
<v Speaker 15>seems to be able to pinpoint what exactly the violent

0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:59.280
<v Speaker 15>and disgusting things were, apart from one comment that he

0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:03.160
<v Speaker 15>made to a waitress who was serving and he said

0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:05.840
<v Speaker 15>to the effect and I don't, as far as I

0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:08.359
<v Speaker 15>understand it, the waitress didn't hear it. Not that that

0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:11.359
<v Speaker 15>necessarily matters. He said, I'd like to give her a

0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:14.920
<v Speaker 15>job in my brothel. He runs a brothel in Melbourne.

0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:17.960
<v Speaker 15>Now he's released this statement to day to Sunrise, where

0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:20.399
<v Speaker 15>he said some friends and I were in a small,

0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:24.280
<v Speaker 15>private corporate box at the AFL Grand Final eight months ago.

0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:27.280
<v Speaker 15>I made a comment to people in my party that

0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:31.440
<v Speaker 15>was overheard by waightstaff, who became offended. I happened to

0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:33.679
<v Speaker 15>think working in a brothel is a great way to

0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:37.159
<v Speaker 15>earn a living, as it is a legitimate industry. So

0:19:37.359 --> 0:19:40.080
<v Speaker 15>I think he raises an interesting point there. I mean,

0:19:40.680 --> 0:19:44.639
<v Speaker 15>we have to accept the brothels are legal, you know,

0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:48.120
<v Speaker 15>if they're run correctly, etc. And the right licensing which

0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:52.240
<v Speaker 15>he's got, it is a legitimate workplace in industry. Would

0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:55.200
<v Speaker 15>we be offended if he said if he owned a restaurant,

0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:56.920
<v Speaker 15>so I'd love to give her a job in one

0:19:56.920 --> 0:20:00.400
<v Speaker 15>of my restaurants. So are we being moralistic? We get

0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:03.800
<v Speaker 15>outraged by that. I wouldn't say it, and I wouldn't

0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:08.200
<v Speaker 15>like someone saying it to my daughter or sister. But nonetheless,

0:20:08.760 --> 0:20:12.359
<v Speaker 15>I think it's five years, I must say, sounds pretty

0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:16.480
<v Speaker 15>heavy handed when you hear about the pretty questionable behavior

0:20:16.840 --> 0:20:21.120
<v Speaker 15>of AFL players and teams and staff. And I've never

0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:22.639
<v Speaker 15>heard of a five year band before.

0:20:22.720 --> 0:20:25.040
<v Speaker 2>And just to clarify that, Pep, he was speaking to

0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:29.040
<v Speaker 2>other He wasn't speaking to the person, the intended brothe worker.

0:20:29.320 --> 0:20:31.280
<v Speaker 2>He was speaking to his friends. And it was overheard

0:20:31.560 --> 0:20:32.280
<v Speaker 2>there obviously.

0:20:32.320 --> 0:20:35.639
<v Speaker 15>But I certainly the people I've spoken to I know Warwick,

0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:38.320
<v Speaker 15>I know I don't know him well. I think other

0:20:38.359 --> 0:20:41.280
<v Speaker 15>people who know him well, such as Sam Newman, and

0:20:41.440 --> 0:20:44.040
<v Speaker 15>some of those were there and they said the comment

0:20:44.240 --> 0:20:47.720
<v Speaker 15>was not directed to her and they don't believe she

0:20:47.880 --> 0:20:50.760
<v Speaker 15>even heard it. Other staff who were serving on the

0:20:50.840 --> 0:20:55.000
<v Speaker 15>day did and that's that's how the complaints started.

0:20:54.720 --> 0:20:56.959
<v Speaker 2>And that penalty it's you know you mentioned it's at

0:20:56.960 --> 0:20:59.320
<v Speaker 2>the MCG and it's not just AFL games. I would

0:20:59.320 --> 0:21:01.280
<v Speaker 2>imagine it as as well as he no doubt makes

0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:03.480
<v Speaker 2>a very good income from running a brothel. I'm not

0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:05.199
<v Speaker 2>quite sure how much you make for running a brothel,

0:21:05.240 --> 0:21:08.000
<v Speaker 2>but I would also suspect that that Warrick Kappa makes

0:21:08.000 --> 0:21:10.160
<v Speaker 2>a bit of money on the speaking scene, given he's

0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:12.679
<v Speaker 2>an AFL legend and so out there as a character.

0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:15.679
<v Speaker 2>He would have speaking engagements at AFL matches at various

0:21:15.760 --> 0:21:18.439
<v Speaker 2>venues where the AFL has played. He probably makes a

0:21:18.440 --> 0:21:19.320
<v Speaker 2>bit of coin from.

0:21:19.800 --> 0:21:23.000
<v Speaker 15>Yeah, I think most of those sort of functions probably

0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:27.679
<v Speaker 15>take place in like the team's rooms or headquarters or

0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:31.520
<v Speaker 15>function rooms, not necessarily at AFL brands. But I mean,

0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:33.600
<v Speaker 15>you know, Warwick is an idiot, and he's been a

0:21:33.680 --> 0:21:37.360
<v Speaker 15>professional idiot now for forty years, and we cheered him

0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:40.480
<v Speaker 15>on for being that, you know, we encouraged it, we did.

0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:43.400
<v Speaker 15>You know, that was the eighties and things that were

0:21:43.560 --> 0:21:46.600
<v Speaker 15>acceptable and even funny back in the eighties are now

0:21:46.680 --> 0:21:49.280
<v Speaker 15>no longer acceptable. And I don't think Warick has kind

0:21:49.280 --> 0:21:51.679
<v Speaker 15>of moved with the times, and he's not exactly the

0:21:51.720 --> 0:21:54.680
<v Speaker 15>sharpest tool in the shed anyway, but I still do

0:21:54.720 --> 0:21:57.000
<v Speaker 15>think five years is pretty heavy handed.

0:21:57.119 --> 0:21:59.240
<v Speaker 2>That's the credit of the day. Warwick is an idiot,

0:21:59.280 --> 0:22:01.840
<v Speaker 2>but should he be care answered is the question. Tom

0:22:01.920 --> 0:22:04.200
<v Speaker 2>Cruise and Dolly Parton have won Oscars.

0:22:05.080 --> 0:22:08.240
<v Speaker 15>Yeah, well, this is a nice thing because they every

0:22:08.320 --> 0:22:10.840
<v Speaker 15>year they give out a few honorary Oscars. This year

0:22:10.880 --> 0:22:13.200
<v Speaker 15>they're giving out four. One of them is going to

0:22:13.200 --> 0:22:16.760
<v Speaker 15>Tom Cruise, and that's for his body of work. And

0:22:17.160 --> 0:22:19.040
<v Speaker 15>there is no doubt that he is one of the

0:22:19.119 --> 0:22:23.240
<v Speaker 15>great movie stars of our lifetime, you know, since that

0:22:23.400 --> 0:22:27.320
<v Speaker 15>Golden Years of Hollywood ended, that new brigade of people

0:22:27.320 --> 0:22:30.160
<v Speaker 15>who emerged in the seventies and eighties, you know, he's

0:22:30.240 --> 0:22:32.639
<v Speaker 15>right up there. Oddly enough, has never been given the

0:22:32.680 --> 0:22:36.439
<v Speaker 15>American Film Institute Award, which is really disgraceful. But anyway,

0:22:36.480 --> 0:22:38.280
<v Speaker 15>the Oscars are going to give him one, and they

0:22:38.280 --> 0:22:41.320
<v Speaker 15>have cited his work in the stunt world as well,

0:22:41.560 --> 0:22:44.560
<v Speaker 15>with so many things that he's done on screen are

0:22:44.720 --> 0:22:47.600
<v Speaker 15>quite remarkable. But the other one I think is also

0:22:48.280 --> 0:22:51.160
<v Speaker 15>not up for debate, and that's Dolly Parton. Now she's

0:22:51.160 --> 0:22:54.359
<v Speaker 15>not getting it for her movie work. She's getting the

0:22:54.440 --> 0:22:57.400
<v Speaker 15>gene her Shalt Award, and that is the award that's

0:22:57.440 --> 0:23:00.639
<v Speaker 15>given for people who have worked in movies of fame

0:23:00.680 --> 0:23:03.639
<v Speaker 15>as a result of movies. Hers of course goes beyond that,

0:23:04.000 --> 0:23:06.600
<v Speaker 15>but they then go and do great work in the world.

0:23:07.000 --> 0:23:09.840
<v Speaker 15>And in her case, there's so many things. You know,

0:23:09.960 --> 0:23:14.520
<v Speaker 15>her work with literacy, getting millions of books into schools

0:23:14.520 --> 0:23:18.080
<v Speaker 15>and libraries for kids that she personally funds, you know,

0:23:18.119 --> 0:23:20.320
<v Speaker 15>getting out of check book and writing a million dollar

0:23:20.440 --> 0:23:23.720
<v Speaker 15>check when someone said they needed some money for a

0:23:23.800 --> 0:23:27.960
<v Speaker 15>COVID vaccine. She's always doing those sort of great things.

0:23:28.000 --> 0:23:30.679
<v Speaker 15>So she's getting that gene her shoulder wards. They're not

0:23:30.680 --> 0:23:33.400
<v Speaker 15>given out on the Oscar Night, a special event held

0:23:33.440 --> 0:23:34.080
<v Speaker 15>in November.

0:23:34.520 --> 0:23:37.520
<v Speaker 2>Just one last question about Tom Cruise Peet. I've always

0:23:37.520 --> 0:23:39.879
<v Speaker 2>been intrigued that I think a lot of Ozzie don't

0:23:40.000 --> 0:23:43.240
<v Speaker 2>like him because he's split up with Nicole Kidman. Do

0:23:43.320 --> 0:23:45.480
<v Speaker 2>they still have a civil relationship or do they on

0:23:45.600 --> 0:23:47.040
<v Speaker 2>no talkie basis.

0:23:47.040 --> 0:23:49.719
<v Speaker 15>Pretty much a no talking basis, And I think that

0:23:49.800 --> 0:23:52.359
<v Speaker 15>may be connected to the breakup and the fact that

0:23:52.400 --> 0:23:56.320
<v Speaker 15>Tom is a scientologist. You know, we know they had

0:23:56.320 --> 0:23:59.760
<v Speaker 15>two kids, and it's all very complicated story, but I

0:23:59.800 --> 0:24:03.200
<v Speaker 15>think there is an agreement that they don't discuss each other.

0:24:03.520 --> 0:24:06.520
<v Speaker 15>They have made passing references to each other, even in

0:24:06.600 --> 0:24:09.600
<v Speaker 15>quite recent times, but always on quite a positive note,

0:24:09.680 --> 0:24:11.760
<v Speaker 15>and certainly in the case that Tom is a very

0:24:11.760 --> 0:24:16.640
<v Speaker 15>peculiar person, but he is incredibly devoted to the art

0:24:16.720 --> 0:24:20.320
<v Speaker 15>of making movies, and certainly I think he is absolutely

0:24:20.400 --> 0:24:21.119
<v Speaker 15>due that Oscar.

0:24:21.400 --> 0:24:23.640
<v Speaker 2>We will talk tomorrow. Thank you, Peter, Thanks Clinton. Peter

0:24:23.720 --> 0:24:26.480
<v Speaker 2>Ford on entertainment at this time every day, I've got messages,

0:24:26.520 --> 0:24:28.439
<v Speaker 2>lots of messages coming in about Warre Kapper. So the

0:24:28.480 --> 0:24:30.600
<v Speaker 2>quota of the day goes to Peter Ford. Quote, Warre

0:24:30.720 --> 0:24:33.679
<v Speaker 2>Kapper is an idiot, But should he be canceled for

0:24:33.720 --> 0:24:36.600
<v Speaker 2>being an idiot for saying something that we think he

0:24:36.680 --> 0:24:40.160
<v Speaker 2>said in private that's been overheard about, suggesting that one

0:24:40.160 --> 0:24:43.280
<v Speaker 2>of the white staff should work his brothel. Greg says

0:24:43.280 --> 0:24:45.239
<v Speaker 2>good on Warreck Kapper. I wish more people would give

0:24:45.280 --> 0:24:48.359
<v Speaker 2>the middle finger to the Pitchfork beread. But this one

0:24:48.440 --> 0:24:52.159
<v Speaker 2>from Smoky it's about Tom Warwick Kapper grew up. The

0:24:52.160 --> 0:24:54.399
<v Speaker 2>bloke is an embarrassment. If you've got a view on

0:24:54.400 --> 0:24:57.520
<v Speaker 2>that one three one eight seven three beautiful afternoon across Sydney.

0:24:57.560 --> 0:24:59.800
<v Speaker 2>Optus has now agreed to pay a one hundred million

0:24:59.840 --> 0:25:03.960
<v Speaker 2>dollar fine after they admitted they were targeting customers with

0:25:04.080 --> 0:25:07.400
<v Speaker 2>mobile phone deals that they couldn't actually afford and did

0:25:07.440 --> 0:25:10.639
<v Speaker 2>not need. The a Triple C took court action against

0:25:10.720 --> 0:25:14.320
<v Speaker 2>Optus and they accused the company of unconscionable conduct in

0:25:14.320 --> 0:25:17.080
<v Speaker 2>the way it was selling products to hundreds of customers. Now,

0:25:17.560 --> 0:25:23.679
<v Speaker 2>these were generally customers who had diminished cognitive capacity, perhaps

0:25:23.720 --> 0:25:26.919
<v Speaker 2>they had limited financial literacy. English may well have been

0:25:26.960 --> 0:25:30.520
<v Speaker 2>their second language, and they were sold things mobile phone

0:25:30.520 --> 0:25:33.920
<v Speaker 2>pans for instance, that they couldn't use or they didn't need,

0:25:34.840 --> 0:25:36.880
<v Speaker 2>and in summer cases, they then built up a debt

0:25:36.880 --> 0:25:39.560
<v Speaker 2>because they couldn't afford them either. So the telcow is

0:25:39.600 --> 0:25:42.240
<v Speaker 2>now admitted to this behavior. They've agreed to compensate those

0:25:42.280 --> 0:25:44.840
<v Speaker 2>affected and they'll pay a one hundred million dollar fine.

0:25:44.920 --> 0:25:47.560
<v Speaker 2>That fine still needs to be approved by the federal court.

0:25:47.760 --> 0:25:50.199
<v Speaker 2>It's a Court of the Four. Still messages coming in

0:25:50.240 --> 0:25:52.119
<v Speaker 2>about where the next State of Origin match should be

0:25:52.160 --> 0:25:55.200
<v Speaker 2>played Tonight's Perth Opti Stadium, and I think one venue

0:25:55.440 --> 0:25:58.679
<v Speaker 2>every year should be neutral, one Sydney match, one Brisbon

0:25:58.720 --> 0:26:01.000
<v Speaker 2>match and one interstate as it has been, but what

0:26:01.040 --> 0:26:04.439
<v Speaker 2>about overseas? Glenn says, everything the New Zealand Warriors did

0:26:04.520 --> 0:26:07.199
<v Speaker 2>during COVID, they deserve it. We should be playing it

0:26:07.280 --> 0:26:10.520
<v Speaker 2>in New Zealand as a thank you. Bev says, though,

0:26:10.680 --> 0:26:14.800
<v Speaker 2>why so much height for Vegas lost ma Las Vegas matches.

0:26:15.040 --> 0:26:17.840
<v Speaker 2>Majority of supporters are battler's and that and then excludes

0:26:17.880 --> 0:26:20.840
<v Speaker 2>them from going to the games. Fairpoint Beverly one three

0:26:20.960 --> 0:26:23.119
<v Speaker 2>one eight seven three is our number. I want to

0:26:23.200 --> 0:26:25.960
<v Speaker 2>draw your attention to an issue and I've been hearing

0:26:26.000 --> 0:26:27.800
<v Speaker 2>about this from some of our listeners over the past

0:26:27.800 --> 0:26:30.879
<v Speaker 2>couple of weeks, warries they have about the safety of

0:26:30.920 --> 0:26:34.480
<v Speaker 2>Sydney's light rail network. Now the Guardians actually published a

0:26:34.520 --> 0:26:37.320
<v Speaker 2>story about this today, but I've been hearing warries from

0:26:37.359 --> 0:26:39.840
<v Speaker 2>some of you in emails you send me via twogb

0:26:39.960 --> 0:26:43.440
<v Speaker 2>dot com. Just a couple of weeks ago there was

0:26:43.480 --> 0:26:47.280
<v Speaker 2>a death in the city Surrey Hills when a man

0:26:47.320 --> 0:26:51.120
<v Speaker 2>was killed by a tram. There was another two years

0:26:51.160 --> 0:26:54.520
<v Speaker 2>ago a teenager and that was on George Street. Drivers

0:26:54.560 --> 0:26:58.159
<v Speaker 2>are saying current safety systems aren't working, that emergency senses

0:26:58.200 --> 0:27:01.639
<v Speaker 2>have failed, that cameras you to help with safety are

0:27:01.680 --> 0:27:06.320
<v Speaker 2>too slow, and they're being told to stay quiet, don't

0:27:06.320 --> 0:27:09.520
<v Speaker 2>go public. Well, I receive a lot of correspondence from

0:27:09.720 --> 0:27:11.320
<v Speaker 2>bus drivers and we're going to talk about that a

0:27:11.320 --> 0:27:14.240
<v Speaker 2>little later on them as well, train drivers and also

0:27:14.400 --> 0:27:20.080
<v Speaker 2>light rail operators, and I do keep their identities. I

0:27:20.160 --> 0:27:22.159
<v Speaker 2>keep those on any it's confidential because I don't want

0:27:22.160 --> 0:27:24.480
<v Speaker 2>them to lose their jobs. But elicite meme from the

0:27:24.480 --> 0:27:27.240
<v Speaker 2>operator trans Dev has warned staff not to talk about

0:27:27.280 --> 0:27:31.200
<v Speaker 2>these incidents even amongst themselves. Well, the RTBU, the rail,

0:27:31.200 --> 0:27:33.639
<v Speaker 2>tram and Bus union, says that's not good enough and

0:27:33.840 --> 0:27:36.400
<v Speaker 2>they want some change before another life is lost. David

0:27:36.440 --> 0:27:39.480
<v Speaker 2>Babineu is the secretary of the RTBU. He looks after

0:27:39.600 --> 0:27:43.840
<v Speaker 2>the buses and the light rail network. Kiddo, David, Gooday, Clinton,

0:27:43.840 --> 0:27:45.439
<v Speaker 2>how are you so, I've been hearing about this through

0:27:45.480 --> 0:27:47.400
<v Speaker 2>a little while. What are your members telling you about

0:27:47.400 --> 0:27:48.880
<v Speaker 2>their safety concerns.

0:27:49.800 --> 0:27:53.080
<v Speaker 8>Well, it all comes down to time, it really does.

0:27:53.119 --> 0:27:56.919
<v Speaker 16>It all comes down to know that operators contracted to

0:27:56.960 --> 0:27:59.359
<v Speaker 16>deliver services with a certain amount of time, and everything

0:27:59.400 --> 0:28:02.560
<v Speaker 16>is a casualty to that. So you raise the point

0:28:02.560 --> 0:28:05.600
<v Speaker 16>about the cameras they were put in to observe the

0:28:05.600 --> 0:28:09.080
<v Speaker 16>coupling point between the two trams and actors sort of

0:28:09.119 --> 0:28:12.720
<v Speaker 16>some sort of measure to reduce the hazard. Now they're

0:28:12.760 --> 0:28:15.440
<v Speaker 16>activated when the doors are closed. The screen doesn't come

0:28:15.440 --> 0:28:17.439
<v Speaker 16>on straight away. It takes a couple seconds for it

0:28:17.480 --> 0:28:20.840
<v Speaker 16>to come on. A couple of seconds becomes a few seconds,

0:28:20.960 --> 0:28:24.800
<v Speaker 16>becomes ten seconds, becomes twenty seconds, becomes half a minute.

0:28:25.359 --> 0:28:27.600
<v Speaker 16>There was no accommodation made for the timing of it.

0:28:27.600 --> 0:28:29.680
<v Speaker 16>It was just, hey, we better do something, we better

0:28:29.720 --> 0:28:31.520
<v Speaker 16>be seen to be doing something. And so this is

0:28:31.560 --> 0:28:35.000
<v Speaker 16>how it's gone. If there's going to be a lasting

0:28:35.640 --> 0:28:37.359
<v Speaker 16>change here, and there has to be. We've got two

0:28:37.400 --> 0:28:40.480
<v Speaker 16>people dead, and to be fair, Transport can call it

0:28:40.560 --> 0:28:43.200
<v Speaker 16>misadventure all they want, it doesn't lessen the fact that

0:28:43.200 --> 0:28:46.280
<v Speaker 16>we've got two people who have lost their lives and

0:28:46.880 --> 0:28:50.840
<v Speaker 16>countless impacted by that. We need these coupling points inclosed.

0:28:51.480 --> 0:28:53.360
<v Speaker 16>I'm not an engineer, can't tell you how to do it.

0:28:53.720 --> 0:28:56.760
<v Speaker 16>There looks to be multiple ways, but it really needs

0:28:56.800 --> 0:29:00.560
<v Speaker 16>to be. We cannot seriously have this kind of structure

0:29:00.640 --> 0:29:04.040
<v Speaker 16>exposed to people where they're you know, in this case,

0:29:04.080 --> 0:29:04.800
<v Speaker 16>losing their lives.

0:29:04.800 --> 0:29:07.120
<v Speaker 2>So that those coupling points you mentioned David just to

0:29:07.160 --> 0:29:10.479
<v Speaker 2>clarify overseas and there are similar in these trains. All

0:29:10.480 --> 0:29:12.040
<v Speaker 2>these light rail I think of made in Spain, aren't

0:29:12.080 --> 0:29:15.880
<v Speaker 2>they do? They have that technology overseas well.

0:29:16.520 --> 0:29:18.400
<v Speaker 16>There's no reason why you couldn't close them. You just

0:29:18.480 --> 0:29:20.480
<v Speaker 16>you can build a housing around them. There'd be a

0:29:20.520 --> 0:29:23.720
<v Speaker 16>certain amount of movement needed depending on where they go.

0:29:24.400 --> 0:29:26.480
<v Speaker 16>There's you know, there's some relatively sharp corners, but there's

0:29:26.480 --> 0:29:29.000
<v Speaker 16>no reason why you couldn't accommodate a certain amount of movement,

0:29:29.560 --> 0:29:31.520
<v Speaker 16>you know, within that joint.

0:29:31.360 --> 0:29:36.080
<v Speaker 2>In the same way we do with modern trains.

0:29:36.120 --> 0:29:39.880
<v Speaker 16>It's eminently doable. It comes down to, like everything comes

0:29:39.880 --> 0:29:41.680
<v Speaker 16>down to expense. And this is why I say transport

0:29:41.680 --> 0:29:43.560
<v Speaker 16>needs to step in because they need to stop hiding

0:29:43.600 --> 0:29:46.400
<v Speaker 16>behind well it's the operator's fold or there's a contract.

0:29:47.480 --> 0:29:50.560
<v Speaker 16>People are losing their lives. We don't care who's to blame.

0:29:50.680 --> 0:29:51.640
<v Speaker 16>It needs to be fixed.

0:29:51.640 --> 0:29:55.080
<v Speaker 2>And I think the issue here is is that Sydney

0:29:55.080 --> 0:29:56.720
<v Speaker 2>side is even though we've had the light raph what

0:29:56.760 --> 0:29:58.680
<v Speaker 2>five or six years now, a lot of Sydney Siders

0:29:58.680 --> 0:30:01.080
<v Speaker 2>aren't used to it because as we went decades and

0:30:01.120 --> 0:30:03.840
<v Speaker 2>decades without having trams running up and down George Street

0:30:03.880 --> 0:30:06.280
<v Speaker 2>and other streets in Sydney and the Inner West and

0:30:06.280 --> 0:30:08.719
<v Speaker 2>the Eastern suburbs. So I think a lot of it's

0:30:08.760 --> 0:30:11.360
<v Speaker 2>the food of the pedestrian, But I don't think we're

0:30:11.400 --> 0:30:11.760
<v Speaker 2>used to it.

0:30:12.640 --> 0:30:13.840
<v Speaker 8>Look to a degree, you're right.

0:30:15.040 --> 0:30:17.920
<v Speaker 16>I mean, you know about ninety percent of Line two

0:30:17.920 --> 0:30:21.160
<v Speaker 16>and three is shared space with pedestrians. And you stand

0:30:21.200 --> 0:30:23.080
<v Speaker 16>there of a peak hour and you watch what goes

0:30:23.080 --> 0:30:26.160
<v Speaker 16>on along George Street for example. Oh yeah, it's and

0:30:26.200 --> 0:30:29.160
<v Speaker 16>the slow speed to a degree encourages the stupid.

0:30:29.520 --> 0:30:31.720
<v Speaker 2>And once you've got your ear phones in, really, once

0:30:31.760 --> 0:30:33.600
<v Speaker 2>you've gotten out of the way, once you're listening to

0:30:33.600 --> 0:30:35.440
<v Speaker 2>this radio station on the app or something, you know,

0:30:35.640 --> 0:30:37.040
<v Speaker 2>people get distracted.

0:30:37.960 --> 0:30:39.600
<v Speaker 8>It's they do, they really do.

0:30:39.680 --> 0:30:42.280
<v Speaker 16>I mean we've had reports, you know, from members and

0:30:42.280 --> 0:30:44.920
<v Speaker 16>from the general public about like you know, people writing

0:30:44.920 --> 0:30:48.640
<v Speaker 16>on the coupling points and stuff like that. There's you know,

0:30:48.920 --> 0:30:52.520
<v Speaker 16>it's the system was put in, you know, without a

0:30:52.560 --> 0:30:54.959
<v Speaker 16>lot of adequate safety measures. Me now there's talk about oh,

0:30:54.960 --> 0:30:56.560
<v Speaker 16>well you know there's a line, there should be lines

0:30:56.560 --> 0:30:58.840
<v Speaker 16>on the platforms. Well, you go to town hall, the

0:30:58.880 --> 0:31:01.680
<v Speaker 16>lines are literally the edge of the platform and if

0:31:01.680 --> 0:31:03.280
<v Speaker 16>the line is there to tell you where you shouldn't

0:31:03.280 --> 0:31:05.240
<v Speaker 16>go past. Well, it's no wonder people are getting bumped

0:31:05.240 --> 0:31:07.400
<v Speaker 16>occasionally as they lean in on their phones and stuff

0:31:07.400 --> 0:31:09.880
<v Speaker 16>like that. There really needs to be a consistent and

0:31:10.000 --> 0:31:14.040
<v Speaker 16>holistic approach to safety on this network. It's a good service,

0:31:14.520 --> 0:31:17.080
<v Speaker 16>it really is, but it can absolutely be safe and

0:31:17.120 --> 0:31:19.080
<v Speaker 16>Transport needs to step up and make that happen.

0:31:19.120 --> 0:31:21.640
<v Speaker 2>Look, I do receive anonymous tip offs about what's happening

0:31:21.880 --> 0:31:23.600
<v Speaker 2>on the network, and I receive it, as you know,

0:31:23.680 --> 0:31:25.480
<v Speaker 2>a lot from bus drivers as well that issues in

0:31:25.520 --> 0:31:27.680
<v Speaker 2>the bus network. But what do you make of this

0:31:27.800 --> 0:31:31.320
<v Speaker 2>revelation that trans dev has actually sent a memo and

0:31:31.360 --> 0:31:33.440
<v Speaker 2>they're telling their stuff not to even talk to each

0:31:33.440 --> 0:31:33.960
<v Speaker 2>other about this.

0:31:34.920 --> 0:31:38.040
<v Speaker 16>Look, firstly, thank you for that confidence, because it is

0:31:38.080 --> 0:31:40.800
<v Speaker 16>absolutely the case that regardless of whether the you know,

0:31:40.800 --> 0:31:43.080
<v Speaker 16>what part of transport you're working in, you speak out,

0:31:43.120 --> 0:31:45.520
<v Speaker 16>you tend to get hit with it, you know. So

0:31:46.160 --> 0:31:48.040
<v Speaker 16>you know, I do do respect the fact that you

0:31:48.160 --> 0:31:51.560
<v Speaker 16>do that for our members and just for you operators

0:31:51.600 --> 0:31:54.800
<v Speaker 16>in general. But look, if you're talking about and this

0:31:54.920 --> 0:31:56.360
<v Speaker 16>is the problem, there was no clarity to it. If

0:31:56.400 --> 0:31:58.960
<v Speaker 16>you're saying that you shouldn't talk about it because we've

0:31:59.000 --> 0:32:01.440
<v Speaker 16>got a guy who's coming back to work, who doesn't.

0:32:01.160 --> 0:32:02.560
<v Speaker 8>Really want to relive it in the meal room.

0:32:02.720 --> 0:32:05.440
<v Speaker 16>We've got people who responded on the day who may

0:32:05.480 --> 0:32:08.000
<v Speaker 16>not want to, you know, trying to sort of deal

0:32:08.040 --> 0:32:10.600
<v Speaker 16>with it themselves. We don't need, you know, we don't

0:32:10.640 --> 0:32:13.360
<v Speaker 16>need the gossip going around, that's one thing. But if

0:32:13.400 --> 0:32:16.120
<v Speaker 16>you're telling people they just can't talk about it because

0:32:16.120 --> 0:32:18.840
<v Speaker 16>it's a reputational issue or something like that, not in

0:32:18.840 --> 0:32:20.280
<v Speaker 16>a million years would we support that.

0:32:20.760 --> 0:32:20.960
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:32:21.160 --> 0:32:23.680
<v Speaker 2>Transparency is critical because that's how we fixed things in society.

0:32:23.720 --> 0:32:26.680
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, David. Absolutely, David Babinow that this is an

0:32:26.720 --> 0:32:28.320
<v Speaker 2>issue I think we do need to address because for

0:32:28.360 --> 0:32:29.720
<v Speaker 2>a lot of Sydney sider is he don't going to

0:32:29.720 --> 0:32:31.760
<v Speaker 2>the city often, you may be only going to the

0:32:31.760 --> 0:32:33.520
<v Speaker 2>city once l twice a year. You're not going to

0:32:33.600 --> 0:32:35.520
<v Speaker 2>know how to deal with it. And it's often the

0:32:35.520 --> 0:32:38.239
<v Speaker 2>pedestrian's fault, don't get me wrong, But that doesn't mean

0:32:38.240 --> 0:32:40.320
<v Speaker 2>we shouldn't do something to protect them a little bit better.

0:32:40.440 --> 0:32:42.880
<v Speaker 2>It's nine to four, it's five to four. Lots of

0:32:42.920 --> 0:32:46.640
<v Speaker 2>feedback coming in about Warrack Kappa. So he's been described

0:32:46.640 --> 0:32:49.720
<v Speaker 2>by our entertainment reporter as an idiot for the comments

0:32:49.760 --> 0:32:52.920
<v Speaker 2>that he's made about a waiter at the MCG, he's

0:32:52.920 --> 0:32:55.840
<v Speaker 2>been banned for five years by the AFL, and some

0:32:55.960 --> 0:32:58.520
<v Speaker 2>mixed views from our listeners. Michael says I always thought

0:32:58.560 --> 0:33:01.800
<v Speaker 2>Waura Kappa had no brain. His latest incident just confirms

0:33:01.920 --> 0:33:04.560
<v Speaker 2>my thoughts. But Ben says this is typical of the AFL.

0:33:04.600 --> 0:33:07.520
<v Speaker 2>They'd be better concentrating their efforts on junior AFL in

0:33:07.600 --> 0:33:11.160
<v Speaker 2>New South Wales where they're drastically lackling, rather than canceling

0:33:11.280 --> 0:33:14.640
<v Speaker 2>one of their greats that they actually cash in on. Hello, Gavin,

0:33:14.640 --> 0:33:15.400
<v Speaker 2>what's your view mate?

0:33:17.120 --> 0:33:21.920
<v Speaker 17>Well, what's not highlighted is Warick Kappa has a claim

0:33:21.960 --> 0:33:25.560
<v Speaker 17>against the AFL with a number ninety nine players for

0:33:25.680 --> 0:33:28.520
<v Speaker 17>brain injury sustained during.

0:33:28.360 --> 0:33:29.600
<v Speaker 8>His professional career.

0:33:29.680 --> 0:33:32.960
<v Speaker 12>So I think it's fairly radical to go five years

0:33:32.960 --> 0:33:38.560
<v Speaker 12>not defending his words he's used, and I think he

0:33:38.640 --> 0:33:41.640
<v Speaker 12>may be being penalized a little more than some for

0:33:41.720 --> 0:33:42.320
<v Speaker 12>some reason.

0:33:42.600 --> 0:33:45.200
<v Speaker 2>And I appreciate you coming, Gavin that there could well

0:33:45.240 --> 0:33:47.800
<v Speaker 2>be a link there. The AFL would certainly say no,

0:33:48.120 --> 0:33:51.760
<v Speaker 2>there's not a link there at all. Some information following

0:33:51.800 --> 0:33:55.440
<v Speaker 2>Steve Carlin's traffic report about the dramas at Forrest Way

0:33:55.880 --> 0:33:59.120
<v Speaker 2>Adams Street, French's Forester. We've just spoken to the paramedics

0:33:59.160 --> 0:34:01.440
<v Speaker 2>off there. They tell us some pedestrians been hit by

0:34:01.560 --> 0:34:04.360
<v Speaker 2>a vehicle. They're on the scene assessing that pedestrian at

0:34:04.400 --> 0:34:06.920
<v Speaker 2>the moment managed in his thirties. He is in a

0:34:06.920 --> 0:34:10.600
<v Speaker 2>stable condition. One of three northbound lanes remains closed. So

0:34:10.680 --> 0:34:12.600
<v Speaker 2>which brings us to this issue we're talking about with

0:34:12.880 --> 0:34:15.840
<v Speaker 2>light rail. As I said, I think some of the

0:34:15.840 --> 0:34:17.960
<v Speaker 2>instance we're seeing, and it's not just the two fatalities

0:34:17.960 --> 0:34:19.640
<v Speaker 2>that occurred in the last couple of years, that there

0:34:19.640 --> 0:34:22.720
<v Speaker 2>are numerous instants involving the light rail network in the CBD,

0:34:22.960 --> 0:34:26.440
<v Speaker 2>involving pedestrians, and often it is the fault of the pedestrian,

0:34:26.719 --> 0:34:29.000
<v Speaker 2>don't get me wrong. And a lot of it comes

0:34:29.000 --> 0:34:31.759
<v Speaker 2>down to the distraction of pedestrians. People just walk a

0:34:31.840 --> 0:34:34.480
<v Speaker 2>nice seat all the time, They walk straight across George

0:34:34.560 --> 0:34:38.799
<v Speaker 2>Street with earbuds listening to something and they don't think

0:34:38.840 --> 0:34:40.080
<v Speaker 2>that there's a trem there. But I think a lot

0:34:40.120 --> 0:34:41.840
<v Speaker 2>of Sydney size because they might not go to the

0:34:41.880 --> 0:34:45.239
<v Speaker 2>city all that much, just don't have that appreciation that

0:34:45.280 --> 0:34:46.760
<v Speaker 2>we have trams in the city these days.

0:34:47.000 --> 0:34:50.040
<v Speaker 18>Hello Helen oh Hi Glendon how are you good?

0:34:50.040 --> 0:34:51.040
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for joining us.

0:34:51.640 --> 0:34:52.120
<v Speaker 16>Thank you.

0:34:53.600 --> 0:34:57.600
<v Speaker 18>So after your conversation. And I do go to this

0:34:57.680 --> 0:35:01.560
<v Speaker 18>city not on a regular basis, and I don't get

0:35:01.560 --> 0:35:04.480
<v Speaker 18>the metro or the light trail and I wait, you

0:35:04.560 --> 0:35:06.280
<v Speaker 18>know where I need to wait, and I see people

0:35:06.320 --> 0:35:10.360
<v Speaker 18>crossing and I'm thinking, guys, you know the metro is

0:35:10.440 --> 0:35:13.560
<v Speaker 18>just coming. The train, the train is coming, and all

0:35:13.600 --> 0:35:15.759
<v Speaker 18>they're doing they're looking at their phone. They try and

0:35:15.800 --> 0:35:18.480
<v Speaker 18>bid the trend. I actually feel more sorry for the

0:35:18.680 --> 0:35:22.680
<v Speaker 18>drivers when something happens, because it's not their fault, and

0:35:22.760 --> 0:35:25.640
<v Speaker 18>yet it's something that they will always you know, they

0:35:25.680 --> 0:35:26.239
<v Speaker 18>will have to try.

0:35:26.320 --> 0:35:28.400
<v Speaker 2>And why I raise this is because it's been published

0:35:28.400 --> 0:35:30.759
<v Speaker 2>in the Guardian today, but I've been in contact with

0:35:30.760 --> 0:35:32.520
<v Speaker 2>some drivers over the past couple of weeks as well

0:35:32.520 --> 0:35:34.400
<v Speaker 2>who are concerned about this because it has an impact

0:35:34.400 --> 0:35:36.640
<v Speaker 2>on them. So my argument is, if we could take

0:35:36.680 --> 0:35:40.440
<v Speaker 2>some action to improve the actual safety of the trams themselves,

0:35:40.520 --> 0:35:43.840
<v Speaker 2>if if it was affordable, if it wasn't too excessive

0:35:43.840 --> 0:35:45.879
<v Speaker 2>in taking trams off the rail, surely that's a good

0:35:45.880 --> 0:35:49.240
<v Speaker 2>idea because reality is hell a lot of pedestrians are stupid.

0:35:49.760 --> 0:35:52.719
<v Speaker 18>And I mean, can I tell you about six or

0:35:52.719 --> 0:35:54.200
<v Speaker 18>some months ago, I was in the gin. I was

0:35:54.280 --> 0:35:56.160
<v Speaker 18>wading in the city and I was reading to cross

0:35:56.200 --> 0:35:59.400
<v Speaker 18>a street and the person next to me, a young lady,

0:35:59.520 --> 0:36:02.799
<v Speaker 18>was on her and she started crossing the road. I

0:36:02.840 --> 0:36:05.880
<v Speaker 18>saw the car coming. I actually had to pull her back.

0:36:06.239 --> 0:36:09.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah, distraction. Distraction is a massive issue. Thank you,

0:36:09.760 --> 0:36:12.040
<v Speaker 2>Helen Trevor. This is an interesting one on the text line.

0:36:12.120 --> 0:36:14.560
<v Speaker 2>I actually was employed by the company during the planning

0:36:14.680 --> 0:36:16.359
<v Speaker 2>and the build and the opening of the light rail

0:36:16.400 --> 0:36:18.960
<v Speaker 2>lines the two and L three. The Work Health Safety

0:36:19.000 --> 0:36:23.920
<v Speaker 2>report had what they believed probable and acceptable pedestrian deaths

0:36:23.920 --> 0:36:26.920
<v Speaker 2>of one per year, so two deaths in five years

0:36:26.960 --> 0:36:31.960
<v Speaker 2>probably comes under the case of acceptable. Now, recall last weekend,

0:36:32.440 --> 0:36:36.760
<v Speaker 2>the biggest powerball jackpot ever in Australian history was drawn

0:36:36.880 --> 0:36:39.719
<v Speaker 2>one hundred million dollars and there was a winner, but

0:36:39.760 --> 0:36:42.680
<v Speaker 2>it was none registered winner, somebody who bought a ticket

0:36:42.719 --> 0:36:46.200
<v Speaker 2>at the Bondai Junction news agency and internet cafe. Well,

0:36:46.480 --> 0:36:48.920
<v Speaker 2>a few days on, there's no side of the winner

0:36:49.600 --> 0:36:52.239
<v Speaker 2>cannot be found since the last Thursday's draw, so it's

0:36:52.239 --> 0:36:55.239
<v Speaker 2>almost a week confirmation from the lot. They can't yet

0:36:55.280 --> 0:36:57.520
<v Speaker 2>find the winner. They don't have any details, so that

0:36:57.520 --> 0:37:00.600
<v Speaker 2>person has to come forward. So check your power ball ticket.

0:37:00.640 --> 0:37:02.920
<v Speaker 2>You could be a winner. News is next.

0:37:05.600 --> 0:37:09.560
<v Speaker 1>There, says Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard on.

0:37:09.480 --> 0:37:13.440
<v Speaker 2>To GB Temperatures falling across Sydney but still beautiful sunny

0:37:13.480 --> 0:37:16.040
<v Speaker 2>blue skies. There's a reason the skies are blue this

0:37:16.120 --> 0:37:18.520
<v Speaker 2>afternoon because New South Wales is going to win Origin

0:37:18.640 --> 0:37:22.440
<v Speaker 2>two in Perth. The weather in Perth a little bit dubious.

0:37:22.480 --> 0:37:25.160
<v Speaker 2>There's been a bit of rain around the WA capital today.

0:37:25.360 --> 0:37:28.120
<v Speaker 2>Full coverage of the Continuous Call team from seven o'clock tonight.

0:37:28.239 --> 0:37:32.200
<v Speaker 2>More is emerging about sam Jin Azari. This is the

0:37:32.239 --> 0:37:34.400
<v Speaker 2>twenty six year old who was shot at the kebab

0:37:34.440 --> 0:37:37.720
<v Speaker 2>shop in Auburn on Monday. The man who currently should

0:37:37.719 --> 0:37:40.319
<v Speaker 2>be in jail, but he's out on bail because we

0:37:40.320 --> 0:37:44.200
<v Speaker 2>have a justice system that does not prioritize public safety.

0:37:44.719 --> 0:37:47.960
<v Speaker 2>The lady who was shot twice at the brother's kebab

0:37:48.000 --> 0:37:51.320
<v Speaker 2>shop would not be in hospital where she still listed

0:37:51.320 --> 0:37:53.960
<v Speaker 2>in a critical condition. She's been shot twice in the stomach.

0:37:54.360 --> 0:37:56.960
<v Speaker 2>She wouldn't be there if the Paramount of Local Court

0:37:57.000 --> 0:38:01.160
<v Speaker 2>had accepted what the police prosecution case was, their argument

0:38:01.840 --> 0:38:05.960
<v Speaker 2>that Asari was quote at the Eppi center of Sydney's

0:38:05.960 --> 0:38:10.080
<v Speaker 2>gang will. As we reported in the program yesterday, there

0:38:10.080 --> 0:38:15.440
<v Speaker 2>have been four assassination attempts. They keep missing because hired assassins,

0:38:15.440 --> 0:38:18.240
<v Speaker 2>it appears, aren't very good shots. They keep missing people

0:38:18.280 --> 0:38:21.080
<v Speaker 2>and then they hit innocent people. But it's now been

0:38:21.120 --> 0:38:23.720
<v Speaker 2>revealed part of the reasons of why a Tzari's enemies

0:38:23.760 --> 0:38:27.520
<v Speaker 2>want him dead. You see, he's accused of being the

0:38:27.600 --> 0:38:31.000
<v Speaker 2>mastermind behind the attempted ripoff theft of four and a

0:38:31.040 --> 0:38:34.280
<v Speaker 2>half million dollars worth of illegal tobacco from another crime

0:38:34.360 --> 0:38:37.799
<v Speaker 2>gang in court documents that have been tended to the

0:38:37.840 --> 0:38:41.680
<v Speaker 2>court case of one of his gang mates. The court

0:38:41.719 --> 0:38:44.640
<v Speaker 2>documents show that police alleged they were called to the

0:38:44.840 --> 0:38:50.080
<v Speaker 2>illegal tobacco theft at a warehouse in Condell Park and

0:38:50.120 --> 0:38:52.360
<v Speaker 2>it was this theft and the plan to steal this

0:38:52.440 --> 0:38:55.120
<v Speaker 2>tobacco is at the center of the reasons of why

0:38:55.600 --> 0:38:58.640
<v Speaker 2>so many people in the underworld want this bloke dead.

0:38:58.760 --> 0:39:01.240
<v Speaker 2>This is exactly what I've been warning about for months

0:39:01.280 --> 0:39:04.240
<v Speaker 2>now with the growth of illegal tobacco, the cheap illegal stuff.

0:39:05.080 --> 0:39:08.440
<v Speaker 2>It's the supply of this by the criminal gangs that

0:39:08.680 --> 0:39:11.040
<v Speaker 2>previously we're spending most of their time fighting over cocaine

0:39:11.080 --> 0:39:14.000
<v Speaker 2>and cocaine turf, but they're now bringing tobacco into the mix.

0:39:14.520 --> 0:39:16.920
<v Speaker 2>They fight over the areas where they can sell it,

0:39:17.520 --> 0:39:19.560
<v Speaker 2>and then in this case, they attempt to rip each

0:39:19.560 --> 0:39:23.120
<v Speaker 2>other off. They are criminals after all. Now, I completely

0:39:23.200 --> 0:39:26.880
<v Speaker 2>understand why a smoker who has been smoking for decades

0:39:27.040 --> 0:39:29.799
<v Speaker 2>and simply can't afford forty to fifty to sixty dollars

0:39:29.840 --> 0:39:32.799
<v Speaker 2>a packet. Completely understand why you may well buy the

0:39:32.840 --> 0:39:36.640
<v Speaker 2>illegal stuff because it is everywhere. There're a tobaccoo saw

0:39:36.800 --> 0:39:38.840
<v Speaker 2>almost every street corner where you can buy it. You

0:39:38.840 --> 0:39:40.640
<v Speaker 2>can buy it in some service stations, you can bite

0:39:40.680 --> 0:39:43.799
<v Speaker 2>in fruit and vegetable shops. But the smokes you buy

0:39:44.320 --> 0:39:47.120
<v Speaker 2>if it's you, and I understand why you're doing it.

0:39:47.160 --> 0:39:50.560
<v Speaker 2>But those cigarettes are fueling this gang worn now and

0:39:50.600 --> 0:39:54.280
<v Speaker 2>the result is innocent people like the kebab shop lady

0:39:54.520 --> 0:39:57.440
<v Speaker 2>are being caught in the crossfire. Now, the biggest issue

0:39:57.440 --> 0:39:59.799
<v Speaker 2>here is, no doubt, the failure by the courts to

0:39:59.800 --> 0:40:02.480
<v Speaker 2>a accept the police argument to keep people like this

0:40:03.800 --> 0:40:06.920
<v Speaker 2>in jail, to refuse them bail. That's the biggest issue here.

0:40:07.200 --> 0:40:10.760
<v Speaker 2>But the other failure is the responsibility of governments because

0:40:10.760 --> 0:40:12.920
<v Speaker 2>they're failing all of us when it comes to the

0:40:12.960 --> 0:40:16.520
<v Speaker 2>way the illegal tobacco market has been allowed to flourish.

0:40:16.840 --> 0:40:21.200
<v Speaker 2>They've basically encourage good law abiding citizens who are smokers

0:40:21.640 --> 0:40:24.279
<v Speaker 2>to go and buy the illegal stuff by making the

0:40:24.360 --> 0:40:28.680
<v Speaker 2>legal cigarettes so expensive through their ridiculous taxes. They think

0:40:28.719 --> 0:40:32.120
<v Speaker 2>they're doing the right thing, the regulators, the governments, but

0:40:32.280 --> 0:40:36.640
<v Speaker 2>indirectly it's actually government policy that's now in part responsible

0:40:36.640 --> 0:40:39.320
<v Speaker 2>for this gang war. This gang war that is seeing

0:40:39.400 --> 0:40:44.800
<v Speaker 2>innocent people being shot. It seriously makes me really cranky

0:40:44.800 --> 0:40:46.960
<v Speaker 2>because I've been talking about this on my programs for

0:40:47.160 --> 0:40:50.120
<v Speaker 2>probably about two years now, all these tobacconists that have

0:40:50.200 --> 0:40:52.839
<v Speaker 2>opened up. You know, I mentioned it probably eighteen months

0:40:52.880 --> 0:40:55.000
<v Speaker 2>ago that in my suburb. I know a lot of

0:40:55.040 --> 0:40:57.120
<v Speaker 2>people now talk about it, but I mentioned eighteen months

0:40:57.120 --> 0:41:01.200
<v Speaker 2>ago that we had a tobacconist in Angadeine probably forty years.

0:41:02.600 --> 0:41:06.480
<v Speaker 2>There's four of them there. Now we know what they're selling. Now,

0:41:06.480 --> 0:41:09.720
<v Speaker 2>who are they supplied by. They're supplied by illegal criminal gangs,

0:41:10.200 --> 0:41:12.520
<v Speaker 2>and this is the way they operate. They all hate

0:41:12.560 --> 0:41:15.080
<v Speaker 2>each other, so they're trying to rip each other off,

0:41:15.480 --> 0:41:19.880
<v Speaker 2>as is the police allegations against Azari. That's why Azari

0:41:19.920 --> 0:41:24.600
<v Speaker 2>has now been the victim of four assassination attempts. And fine,

0:41:24.640 --> 0:41:27.880
<v Speaker 2>if Azari is killed at some point, I'm sure his

0:41:27.880 --> 0:41:31.000
<v Speaker 2>family's gonna be upset. I know you won't be. But

0:41:31.040 --> 0:41:33.600
<v Speaker 2>the problem is the innocent people who end up being

0:41:33.680 --> 0:41:36.759
<v Speaker 2>killed in the consequence, like the bloke, and that this

0:41:36.800 --> 0:41:39.160
<v Speaker 2>is still a lot subject to investigation. But the young

0:41:39.200 --> 0:41:42.280
<v Speaker 2>guy who arrived home at Condell Park a few weeks

0:41:42.320 --> 0:41:45.960
<v Speaker 2>back in his ute is reversed up the driveway. He

0:41:46.000 --> 0:41:48.360
<v Speaker 2>works for his dad, He gets out of the ute

0:41:49.560 --> 0:41:52.120
<v Speaker 2>and the government comes up covered in black and shoots

0:41:52.160 --> 0:41:56.400
<v Speaker 2>him dead. Now we don't know why, other than police

0:41:56.440 --> 0:41:58.799
<v Speaker 2>believe it's a case mistaken identity. We don't know what

0:41:59.040 --> 0:42:01.880
<v Speaker 2>the gang wore their way. Most of it in Sydney's

0:42:01.880 --> 0:42:06.319
<v Speaker 2>over cocaine, but increasingly it's over illegal tobacco. And it's

0:42:06.360 --> 0:42:10.200
<v Speaker 2>the government that's let this grow out of control over

0:42:10.239 --> 0:42:12.959
<v Speaker 2>the past couple of years. And we're going to see

0:42:13.000 --> 0:42:16.120
<v Speaker 2>more people, innocent people who were caught up in it.

0:42:16.160 --> 0:42:20.560
<v Speaker 1>And it is just so wrong Sydney now with Clinton Maynard.

0:42:20.880 --> 0:42:21.799
<v Speaker 2>If it's happening and.

0:42:21.840 --> 0:42:25.680
<v Speaker 1>You're sitting you'll hear it on Sydney Now to gb.

0:42:26.719 --> 0:42:28.680
<v Speaker 2>TWEK past four. Now coming up later in the show,

0:42:28.719 --> 0:42:30.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to give you the chance to win. I'm

0:42:30.400 --> 0:42:33.319
<v Speaker 2>going to spin two GB's Winter Wheel. Now you need

0:42:33.360 --> 0:42:35.359
<v Speaker 2>the QUEU to call. This isn't the que to call.

0:42:35.680 --> 0:42:38.759
<v Speaker 2>You'll hear it. It's Kylie Minogue spinning around when we

0:42:38.800 --> 0:42:41.080
<v Speaker 2>played that. A little later, I'll give you the chance

0:42:41.120 --> 0:42:44.120
<v Speaker 2>to call our prize line. And we've got so many

0:42:44.160 --> 0:42:47.600
<v Speaker 2>great prizes give way. We gave away fifteen hundred dollars yesterday.

<v Speaker 2>Billy Woods filling in for Mick mac Michael McLaren gave

0:42:50.160 --> 0:42:53.319
<v Speaker 2>away fifteen hundred a little earlier this afternoon. There's two

0:42:53.320 --> 0:42:55.920
<v Speaker 2>and a half thousand dollars on the spinning wheel, and

0:43:24.360 --> 0:43:28.200
<v Speaker 2>two GB's winter wheel. It's thirteen past four. Now your

0:43:28.239 --> 0:43:30.959
<v Speaker 2>favorite minister in the Federal government, the one on Ninty,

0:43:31.000 --> 0:43:34.080
<v Speaker 2>Chris Bowen, has made a speech in Melbourne today and

0:43:34.120 --> 0:43:38.240
<v Speaker 2>he has conceded the current system that in part governs

0:43:38.280 --> 0:43:41.160
<v Speaker 2>the way we pay power bills and electricity bills is

0:43:41.200 --> 0:43:43.719
<v Speaker 2>not working. It's not serving bill pay as well and

0:43:43.760 --> 0:43:46.880
<v Speaker 2>it needs to change. The reason for this is that

0:43:47.400 --> 0:43:50.279
<v Speaker 2>over the last few years there's been a difference in

0:43:50.360 --> 0:43:52.759
<v Speaker 2>price increases for what we pay here in New South

0:43:52.760 --> 0:43:55.440
<v Speaker 2>Wales for our power bills and what our friends in

0:43:55.520 --> 0:43:58.719
<v Speaker 2>Victoria pay. So the biggest annual bill increase in New

0:43:58.760 --> 0:44:00.759
<v Speaker 2>South Wales in recent times is it's been more than

0:44:00.800 --> 0:44:04.760
<v Speaker 2>two hundred dollars. In Victoria it's only been one hundred dollars.

0:44:05.239 --> 0:44:08.160
<v Speaker 2>It's a big difference. So in Victoria they have the

0:44:08.280 --> 0:44:12.320
<v Speaker 2>Essential Services Commission which sets the maximum bill that retailers

0:44:12.320 --> 0:44:15.000
<v Speaker 2>can charge. But then in the other states there is

0:44:15.040 --> 0:44:18.600
<v Speaker 2>the Australian Energy Regulator and they factor in various different

0:44:18.640 --> 0:44:23.520
<v Speaker 2>issues such as competition between electricity prices. Well, Chris Bowen

0:44:23.760 --> 0:44:27.320
<v Speaker 2>has made a speech at the Australian Energy Week conference.

0:44:27.480 --> 0:44:29.040
<v Speaker 2>That'd be exciting to go on. I'll too, wouldn't it.

0:44:29.440 --> 0:44:31.560
<v Speaker 2>I missed it so sadly anyway, mister Barnes made a

0:44:31.560 --> 0:44:34.680
<v Speaker 2>speech there and he says I don't think it's working

0:44:34.680 --> 0:44:37.280
<v Speaker 2>in the way it's intended to, so reform is needed.

0:44:38.360 --> 0:44:42.360
<v Speaker 2>He admits that the reform pricing mechanism the plan is

0:44:42.400 --> 0:44:45.520
<v Speaker 2>to bring new South Wales, Queensland and South Australia closer

0:44:45.560 --> 0:44:47.680
<v Speaker 2>in line to what happens in Victoria where there have

0:44:47.760 --> 0:44:51.359
<v Speaker 2>been smaller bill increases. Reality is so these reforms, it's good.

0:44:51.360 --> 0:44:54.160
<v Speaker 2>It's on the agenda. So let's hope that Chris Bowen

0:44:54.200 --> 0:44:57.120
<v Speaker 2>can actually achieve some change here. What we do know

0:44:57.280 --> 0:44:59.600
<v Speaker 2>is power prices are going to go up on the

0:44:59.600 --> 0:45:04.440
<v Speaker 2>first July. Sally Tindler's Canstar's director of research and public Relations,

0:45:04.480 --> 0:45:08.040
<v Speaker 2>and through Canstar they look at all the different supplies

0:45:08.080 --> 0:45:10.279
<v Speaker 2>of electricity and try to find the best and most

0:45:10.280 --> 0:45:14.080
<v Speaker 2>efficient deals. Hello Sally, Hello Clinton, how are you? I'm good?

0:45:14.120 --> 0:45:16.600
<v Speaker 2>And I've known obviously, we talk about it all the time,

0:45:16.600 --> 0:45:19.440
<v Speaker 2>the way our electricity prices arising. I didn't realize that

0:45:19.480 --> 0:45:23.040
<v Speaker 2>the increases in Victoria are actually so much less than ours.

0:45:23.680 --> 0:45:25.880
<v Speaker 10>It's really interesting to see even just looking at the

0:45:25.880 --> 0:45:30.000
<v Speaker 10>default offers, which most people aren't on. Most people are

0:45:30.000 --> 0:45:32.560
<v Speaker 10>on a market office, which tend to be lower than

0:45:32.600 --> 0:45:37.080
<v Speaker 10>in Victoria. The Essential Services Commission have across the five

0:45:37.160 --> 0:45:40.400
<v Speaker 10>networks in Victoria, I think the biggest increase is ninety

0:45:40.480 --> 0:45:44.120
<v Speaker 10>dollars for the next year for the average household, but

0:45:44.280 --> 0:45:47.400
<v Speaker 10>one of them, one of the next works is actually

0:45:47.400 --> 0:45:50.520
<v Speaker 10>going down by twenty six dollars, and all the other

0:45:50.560 --> 0:45:52.799
<v Speaker 10>ones in between are a lot smaller than what we're

0:45:52.840 --> 0:45:55.920
<v Speaker 10>seeing in New South Wales, with osgrit to the average

0:45:55.960 --> 0:45:58.799
<v Speaker 10>household going up by one hundred and fifty five dollars

0:45:59.320 --> 0:46:01.440
<v Speaker 10>endeavor and the year one hundred and eighty eight dollars

0:46:01.440 --> 0:46:04.640
<v Speaker 10>for the average household, and the Essential Energy Network which

0:46:04.680 --> 0:46:07.040
<v Speaker 10>is in regional New South Wales two hundred and twenty

0:46:07.080 --> 0:46:09.680
<v Speaker 10>eight dollars, which is a massive hit to the back.

0:46:09.480 --> 0:46:11.279
<v Speaker 2>Pop that's going to be the most is does it

0:46:11.320 --> 0:46:14.480
<v Speaker 2>come down to the different ways electricity is generated in

0:46:14.520 --> 0:46:16.480
<v Speaker 2>the States or is it simply down to the way

0:46:16.560 --> 0:46:17.400
<v Speaker 2>it's regulated.

0:46:18.480 --> 0:46:22.799
<v Speaker 10>I think it's a big mix of different factors. Certainly, yes,

0:46:23.440 --> 0:46:26.760
<v Speaker 10>rising network costs. It's no surprise that the essential energy

0:46:26.800 --> 0:46:30.560
<v Speaker 10>network is seeing the biggest rises because they've got such

0:46:30.600 --> 0:46:34.680
<v Speaker 10>a vast area to maintain. But also there's rising wholesale

0:46:34.719 --> 0:46:38.680
<v Speaker 10>electricity costs which have been hindered by cold power station

0:46:38.840 --> 0:46:42.200
<v Speaker 10>averages and weather events, and even lower than expected renewables

0:46:42.239 --> 0:46:46.200
<v Speaker 10>output in New South Wales. Rising operating costs as well,

0:46:46.200 --> 0:46:49.280
<v Speaker 10>which is like the cost of doing business running call centers,

0:46:49.280 --> 0:46:51.839
<v Speaker 10>acquiring new customers and all the rest of it. Now,

0:46:51.880 --> 0:46:56.280
<v Speaker 10>Minister Bowen today says he flagged that they would strip

0:46:56.280 --> 0:47:00.960
<v Speaker 10>out the competition allowance that's baked into the Astralian Energy

0:47:01.000 --> 0:47:05.080
<v Speaker 10>regulators default pricing. That's the regulator that governs New South Wales,

0:47:05.160 --> 0:47:10.040
<v Speaker 10>Queensland and South Australia Southeast Queensland that is. But interestingly enough,

0:47:10.160 --> 0:47:12.640
<v Speaker 10>in these default prices that are coming through on the

0:47:12.640 --> 0:47:16.759
<v Speaker 10>first of January, they didn't apply the competition allowance. They've

0:47:16.760 --> 0:47:20.920
<v Speaker 10>got this thing where if inflation is higher than the

0:47:21.000 --> 0:47:23.960
<v Speaker 10>RBA's target band in a sustainable way, they don't apply

0:47:24.000 --> 0:47:28.200
<v Speaker 10>the competition allowance. So even without that competition allowance applied

0:47:28.600 --> 0:47:31.200
<v Speaker 10>in New South Wales, the default prices are going up

0:47:31.200 --> 0:47:34.719
<v Speaker 10>by a lot more than Victoria and certainly now that.

0:47:35.160 --> 0:47:38.160
<v Speaker 10>So what happens is the regulators announce the default prices

0:47:38.200 --> 0:47:40.960
<v Speaker 10>and then all the retailers set their own prices and

0:47:41.000 --> 0:47:43.240
<v Speaker 10>they tend to move in line with the default prices.

0:47:43.280 --> 0:47:44.399
<v Speaker 18>But we've got the.

0:47:44.320 --> 0:47:47.480
<v Speaker 10>Origin prices have come through, the AGL prices have come through.

0:47:47.520 --> 0:47:51.120
<v Speaker 10>We haven't seen Energy Australia prices come through, but AGL

0:47:51.320 --> 0:47:54.840
<v Speaker 10>has some customers on overage. Actually in New South Wales

0:47:54.880 --> 0:47:58.480
<v Speaker 10>they're going up for small business and residential by thirteen

0:47:58.520 --> 0:48:01.360
<v Speaker 10>point five percent more default.

0:48:01.719 --> 0:48:03.799
<v Speaker 2>So just just to clarify it, because I know some

0:48:03.880 --> 0:48:06.080
<v Speaker 2>of the jargon goes at the top of our heads.

0:48:07.280 --> 0:48:11.400
<v Speaker 2>So the default market offer is is that the maximum

0:48:11.440 --> 0:48:13.520
<v Speaker 2>price that the increase can be. But you just mentioned

0:48:13.520 --> 0:48:14.799
<v Speaker 2>AGLs going up on more than that.

0:48:16.080 --> 0:48:18.279
<v Speaker 10>Sorry, so the price rise is more than it, but

0:48:18.320 --> 0:48:21.040
<v Speaker 10>the cost is not likely to be for market plans,

0:48:21.080 --> 0:48:24.279
<v Speaker 10>if that helps. So the default offers tend to be

0:48:24.440 --> 0:48:28.960
<v Speaker 10>the price that electricity retailer is charged for customers on

0:48:29.040 --> 0:48:31.359
<v Speaker 10>default contracts, and they are a safety net for those

0:48:31.360 --> 0:48:34.520
<v Speaker 10>customers that don't shop around or who can't shop around.

0:48:34.840 --> 0:48:38.000
<v Speaker 10>Those default prices also act as a benchmark to help

0:48:38.120 --> 0:48:42.880
<v Speaker 10>you and I compare our market plan more effectively. So

0:48:42.960 --> 0:48:45.160
<v Speaker 10>when you go on to outside or a lot of

0:48:45.160 --> 0:48:48.359
<v Speaker 10>other sites Energy made Easy wherever, you will see your

0:48:48.400 --> 0:48:52.680
<v Speaker 10>electricity plan price in relation to the reference price, and

0:48:52.719 --> 0:48:55.200
<v Speaker 10>you want to be as low as possible. So you know,

0:48:55.320 --> 0:48:59.120
<v Speaker 10>say in New South Wales in Sydney, the average plan,

0:48:59.480 --> 0:49:04.400
<v Speaker 10>the average market plan on our database in Sydney is

0:49:04.480 --> 0:49:07.319
<v Speaker 10>seven percent lower than the reference price, right or the

0:49:07.320 --> 0:49:11.480
<v Speaker 10>default price, but the highest discount you can find is

0:49:11.560 --> 0:49:15.040
<v Speaker 10>twenty three percent lower. That's the kind of target you

0:49:15.080 --> 0:49:17.000
<v Speaker 10>should be aiming for when you're shopping around for a

0:49:17.040 --> 0:49:17.480
<v Speaker 10>good dealth.

0:49:17.480 --> 0:49:19.600
<v Speaker 2>So the message is to shop around. So look, I'll

0:49:19.640 --> 0:49:22.680
<v Speaker 2>admit I've been really silly selly for years. I've just

0:49:22.800 --> 0:49:26.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm just with the one that was assigned to my house,

0:49:26.280 --> 0:49:28.560
<v Speaker 2>my street. It's Energy Australia. I did look at it,

0:49:28.640 --> 0:49:30.279
<v Speaker 2>I must admit I looked at it about two years

0:49:30.280 --> 0:49:33.000
<v Speaker 2>ago and I found it confusing and didn't follow it up.

0:49:33.520 --> 0:49:35.640
<v Speaker 2>So does that mean that for somebody like me and

0:49:35.680 --> 0:49:36.920
<v Speaker 2>I reckon a lot of our listeners will be in

0:49:37.000 --> 0:49:39.440
<v Speaker 2>that category you're on the default offer.

0:49:40.320 --> 0:49:40.560
<v Speaker 19>Yeah?

0:49:40.640 --> 0:49:45.040
<v Speaker 10>Quite possibly, And really switching around isn't as hard as

0:49:45.080 --> 0:49:49.359
<v Speaker 10>you might think. We've done some research the average time

0:49:49.400 --> 0:49:51.840
<v Speaker 10>with the provider, So you're not alone here eight point

0:49:51.880 --> 0:49:55.440
<v Speaker 10>eight years. Forty one percent of people we surveyed had

0:49:55.480 --> 0:49:58.000
<v Speaker 10>been with their provider for twenty or more years. There

0:49:58.080 --> 0:50:00.840
<v Speaker 10>was one gentleman that we had serve eight that have

0:50:00.920 --> 0:50:04.480
<v Speaker 10>been with their same provider since the nineteen seventies. So

0:50:04.719 --> 0:50:06.839
<v Speaker 10>a lot of people don't shop around because they look

0:50:06.840 --> 0:50:09.239
<v Speaker 10>at that bill and they go, this is gobblety group.

0:50:09.360 --> 0:50:13.000
<v Speaker 2>I do not understand it whatsoever. And you know, only

0:50:13.000 --> 0:50:14.759
<v Speaker 2>other problems are I can sell is because you get

0:50:14.760 --> 0:50:17.680
<v Speaker 2>phone calls from people from unlisted numbers offering your deals,

0:50:17.680 --> 0:50:18.880
<v Speaker 2>and a lot of us NET has hang up on

0:50:18.920 --> 0:50:20.719
<v Speaker 2>those worried it some sort of scam.

0:50:21.360 --> 0:50:23.200
<v Speaker 18>Well, absolutely, and you probably should.

0:50:23.280 --> 0:50:25.239
<v Speaker 10>But you can take the bulls by the horns and

0:50:25.400 --> 0:50:28.480
<v Speaker 10>do it yourself. So you jump onto Canst Blue or

0:50:28.600 --> 0:50:30.680
<v Speaker 10>Energy Made Easy. There's a couple of different ways you

0:50:30.680 --> 0:50:33.080
<v Speaker 10>can do it. On our site. You can upload your bill.

0:50:33.280 --> 0:50:35.160
<v Speaker 10>You know, the robots in the background will read it

0:50:35.200 --> 0:50:37.840
<v Speaker 10>for you and spit out some more competitive offers. You

0:50:37.840 --> 0:50:41.200
<v Speaker 10>can go onto our list of different plans and see

0:50:41.239 --> 0:50:44.120
<v Speaker 10>where your plan sits according to the reference price. That's

0:50:44.120 --> 0:50:46.960
<v Speaker 10>another way to do it. Or on Energy Made Easy.

0:50:47.120 --> 0:50:51.560
<v Speaker 10>You go and find your NIM NMI National Metering identifier.

0:50:51.840 --> 0:50:54.239
<v Speaker 10>That's a number that is unique to your property. You

0:50:54.280 --> 0:50:56.920
<v Speaker 10>plug that into Energy Made Easy and again it will

0:50:56.960 --> 0:50:59.919
<v Speaker 10>spit out cheaper plans if they're available. These are all

0:51:00.040 --> 0:51:03.239
<v Speaker 10>great resources. They can be done really quickly. And once

0:51:03.280 --> 0:51:06.160
<v Speaker 10>you've decided on someone to switch to a provider to

0:51:06.160 --> 0:51:09.359
<v Speaker 10>switch to, the rest is like child's play. You fill

0:51:09.400 --> 0:51:11.759
<v Speaker 10>out a form on their website. I give them some

0:51:11.800 --> 0:51:14.279
<v Speaker 10>details and they do the hard part for you, which

0:51:14.320 --> 0:51:17.040
<v Speaker 10>is break up with your old electricity provider. And basically

0:51:17.080 --> 0:51:19.200
<v Speaker 10>it all happens in the background without you having to

0:51:19.200 --> 0:51:19.759
<v Speaker 10>do much more.

0:51:19.840 --> 0:51:23.080
<v Speaker 2>It'd be smart. Thank you, Tally. Thanks Sally Tindall. So

0:51:23.120 --> 0:51:25.560
<v Speaker 2>Sally's tindle some cansday. You can go on the Canser website.

0:51:25.640 --> 0:51:27.960
<v Speaker 2>You can go onto the Energy Made Easy website as well.

0:51:28.000 --> 0:51:30.719
<v Speaker 2>You need that NIM that number, but I should do it,

0:51:30.760 --> 0:51:32.200
<v Speaker 2>and I reckon A lot of us are exactly the

0:51:32.200 --> 0:51:34.440
<v Speaker 2>same boat word on the street for tempoo a great

0:51:34.520 --> 0:51:36.640
<v Speaker 2>night's sleep, night after night. The difference is temper. When

0:51:36.680 --> 0:51:38.640
<v Speaker 2>you see something around Sydney, let me know about it.

0:51:38.640 --> 0:51:41.480
<v Speaker 2>Gregory's done just that via the text line thank you mate.

0:51:41.719 --> 0:51:45.040
<v Speaker 2>The M four M five M four m eight tunnel

0:51:45.160 --> 0:51:48.239
<v Speaker 2>is still a crawl from Ashfield, so it's west bound

0:51:48.320 --> 0:51:50.360
<v Speaker 2>and he's been touching on that in the traffic wards

0:51:50.400 --> 0:51:52.080
<v Speaker 2>this afternoon. Thanks for letting us to know about that,

0:51:52.160 --> 0:51:55.840
<v Speaker 2>Greg So M four M eight tunnel is still a mess.

0:51:55.880 --> 0:52:09.239
<v Speaker 2>One three, one eight seven three is my number. Well,

0:52:09.280 --> 0:52:13.560
<v Speaker 2>he might be coming back Josh Friedenburg. Now, of course

0:52:13.600 --> 0:52:16.960
<v Speaker 2>he did not contest the last election after he'd lost

0:52:17.040 --> 0:52:20.520
<v Speaker 2>a few years back. He didn't nominate for the seat

0:52:20.520 --> 0:52:23.160
<v Speaker 2>of Couyong, which he held for many years and has

0:52:23.239 --> 0:52:27.080
<v Speaker 2>been retained by the til Monique Ryan or developments. This

0:52:27.239 --> 0:52:31.960
<v Speaker 2>week there's been a vote in his particular electorate and

0:52:32.120 --> 0:52:34.880
<v Speaker 2>members have voted in some new office holders in the

0:52:34.920 --> 0:52:39.120
<v Speaker 2>electorate and the executive there understood to be quote Josh loyalists.

0:52:39.920 --> 0:52:42.920
<v Speaker 2>So what this means is that the branches in that

0:52:43.000 --> 0:52:45.920
<v Speaker 2>particular electorate in Melbourne, which is quite a well to

0:52:45.960 --> 0:52:49.560
<v Speaker 2>do area, if Josh Friedenberg decides that he does want

0:52:49.600 --> 0:52:53.640
<v Speaker 2>to make a comeback, they'll vote for him. It'll clear

0:52:53.640 --> 0:52:57.040
<v Speaker 2>the path. Reality is, look, there's not enough talent in

0:52:57.040 --> 0:52:59.400
<v Speaker 2>the front bench the Liberal Party as it is. If

0:52:59.520 --> 0:53:01.960
<v Speaker 2>Josh Berg says, you know, what Baby, I want to

0:53:01.960 --> 0:53:05.560
<v Speaker 2>come back. They'll move heaven and high water to get

0:53:05.640 --> 0:53:09.239
<v Speaker 2>him in the gig again. This is confirmation that the

0:53:09.320 --> 0:53:22.640
<v Speaker 2>locals in ku Yong do want him back. A quick

0:53:22.680 --> 0:53:25.040
<v Speaker 2>fact about that song, sure you love it, Baby, come

0:53:25.080 --> 0:53:28.040
<v Speaker 2>back from player if he was listening to nineteen nineteen

0:53:28.080 --> 0:53:32.279
<v Speaker 2>seventies the bass player in that band, Ron Moss. You

0:53:32.360 --> 0:53:35.080
<v Speaker 2>recognize that name, Ron Loss, one of the big stars

0:53:35.080 --> 0:53:37.640
<v Speaker 2>of Bold and the Beautiful, But he was a bass

0:53:37.640 --> 0:53:40.640
<v Speaker 2>player before he was a music star. One three, one

0:53:40.680 --> 0:53:43.480
<v Speaker 2>eight seven three is out number. Lots of messages here

0:53:44.080 --> 0:53:47.720
<v Speaker 2>about power prices and switching. Chris says, I did compare

0:53:48.000 --> 0:53:50.279
<v Speaker 2>and I actually switched today. I've now made a saving

0:53:50.360 --> 0:53:52.880
<v Speaker 2>him one hundred and sixty eight dollars per quarter. But

0:53:52.920 --> 0:53:55.400
<v Speaker 2>Angela says, look, it is too hard to change. To

0:53:55.480 --> 0:53:58.359
<v Speaker 2>work out what's cheaper. Anthony says on the text line

0:53:58.480 --> 0:54:01.799
<v Speaker 2>energy switching is a joke. You need to wait to

0:54:01.880 --> 0:54:05.319
<v Speaker 2>the first July to use the Energy Made Easy website.

0:54:05.640 --> 0:54:08.120
<v Speaker 2>You can't actually lock in the prices before the increase.

0:54:08.360 --> 0:54:11.040
<v Speaker 2>It's ridiculous. Good question from Ian on the text line

0:54:11.040 --> 0:54:13.799
<v Speaker 2>what time is kickoff tonight for state of origin two?

0:54:13.840 --> 0:54:16.200

<v Speaker 2>it's eight oh five. No, no, no, no, no, that

0:54:19.360 --> 0:54:21.640

<v Speaker 2>Katie, fifteen degrees in the CBD. It's fifteen degrees at

0:55:40.080 --> 0:55:42.280
<v Speaker 2>Bankstown in the moment. I just want to quickly cross

0:55:42.320 --> 0:55:44.319
<v Speaker 2>out to Daniel with some dramas on the M four.

0:55:44.320 --> 0:55:50.040
<v Speaker 20>Hello Daniel, Yeah, goodin We've got an old couple left

0:55:50.080 --> 0:55:54.120
<v Speaker 20>down M four about Homebush where the new entry point

0:55:54.200 --> 0:55:56.560
<v Speaker 20>meets the old entry point heading west. It looks like

0:55:56.560 --> 0:55:59.480
<v Speaker 20>they've walked up from Parramatta Ride and got very confused.

0:55:59.520 --> 0:56:02.960
<v Speaker 20>They're getting in between the two directions of traffic where

0:56:02.960 --> 0:56:05.320
<v Speaker 20>they merge, looking at the signs, looking very very confused.

0:56:05.360 --> 0:56:06.600
<v Speaker 20>So just at fall out that they've got a big

0:56:06.600 --> 0:56:07.440
<v Speaker 20>say coming through.

0:56:07.239 --> 0:56:10.680
<v Speaker 2>To oh g Ge they need to we need to

0:56:10.719 --> 0:56:12.560
<v Speaker 2>help them get off the road. I think it'd be

0:56:12.640 --> 0:56:17.520
<v Speaker 2>nice starting with a place. Okay, well, hopefully the emergency

0:56:17.520 --> 0:56:19.840
<v Speaker 2>services can get there, So just just repeating that location

0:56:19.920 --> 0:56:20.879
<v Speaker 2>for us, Daniel.

0:56:21.480 --> 0:56:24.239
<v Speaker 20>Yeah, that's that's on the M four homebook where the

0:56:24.360 --> 0:56:26.479
<v Speaker 20>new entry point means the old entry point.

0:56:26.640 --> 0:56:29.080
<v Speaker 2>Okay, thanks, thanks letting to know about that. Hopefully the

0:56:29.080 --> 0:56:31.920
<v Speaker 2>police will be on the scene quite quickly there, because

0:56:32.080 --> 0:56:35.239
<v Speaker 2>you certainly don't want them walking around that particular part

0:56:35.239 --> 0:56:38.600
<v Speaker 2>of the M four. On power price increases, this one

0:56:38.600 --> 0:56:41.440
<v Speaker 2>from Mark. I got the letter from Origin Energy. Not

0:56:41.480 --> 0:56:44.239
<v Speaker 2>only is my bill increasing, they're reducing the solar feed

0:56:44.320 --> 0:56:47.160
<v Speaker 2>in price from five cents to three cents, and they're

0:56:47.200 --> 0:56:51.040
<v Speaker 2>increasing the surcharge when paying by credit card. It is

0:56:51.080 --> 0:56:54.440
<v Speaker 2>an absolute route, says our listener. If you'd like to

0:56:54.440 --> 0:56:57.239
<v Speaker 2>send me a text message, it's really simple. Zero four

0:56:57.360 --> 0:57:02.080
<v Speaker 2>six zero eight seven three eight seven three on Sydney.

0:57:02.200 --> 0:57:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Now you can't handle the truth the streaks.

0:57:09.360 --> 0:57:13.279
<v Speaker 2>Lucy's Elix joins me every Wednesday after Now I know

0:57:13.360 --> 0:57:15.640
<v Speaker 2>for many years, Lucy, this was a favorite song of.

0:57:15.680 --> 0:57:20.040
<v Speaker 21>Him bos what do you know?

0:57:20.520 --> 0:57:23.960
<v Speaker 22>My gosh, you finally got it.

0:57:25.000 --> 0:57:28.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm playing that today from a legendary band player featuring

0:57:29.040 --> 0:57:32.760
<v Speaker 2>Ron Moss on bass because there's this speculation that's about

0:57:32.800 --> 0:57:35.400
<v Speaker 2>that Josh Friedenberg might make a comeback. I've got a

0:57:35.480 --> 0:57:37.800
<v Speaker 2>question here that I'm hoping you can answer. Peter on

0:57:37.840 --> 0:57:40.000
<v Speaker 2>the text line says, what did Josh achieve?

0:57:40.840 --> 0:57:44.280
<v Speaker 22>It's a fabulous question, and then off air I posed

0:57:44.360 --> 0:57:47.240
<v Speaker 22>the question to you. Well, it is interesting, and why

0:57:47.280 --> 0:57:50.760
<v Speaker 22>are they so desperate for him to come back? On

0:57:50.880 --> 0:57:53.440
<v Speaker 22>the balance of that, I mean in terms of his achievements,

0:57:53.480 --> 0:57:56.880
<v Speaker 22>which we're struggling to rack our minds about. Why is

0:57:56.920 --> 0:57:59.480
<v Speaker 22>there such an insistence that Josh come back? Is it

0:57:59.560 --> 0:58:03.520
<v Speaker 22>changed for change? For change sake? Do they genuinely believe

0:58:03.560 --> 0:58:06.040
<v Speaker 22>that he can come in there and fix the problem?

0:58:06.440 --> 0:58:09.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, Amelia Haymer ran for the seat of Couyong at

0:58:09.480 --> 0:58:12.800
<v Speaker 2>the May election. She didn't win, despite the fact Menique Ryan,

0:58:12.840 --> 0:58:14.480
<v Speaker 2>I think it's fair to say what to she achieve

0:58:14.600 --> 0:58:17.240
<v Speaker 2>as a teal, not a lot. What she did achieve,

0:58:17.320 --> 0:58:19.840
<v Speaker 2>she churned through a few staff. She made headlines for

0:58:19.920 --> 0:58:21.400
<v Speaker 2>falling out with the chief of staff. There's a bit

0:58:21.440 --> 0:58:22.680
<v Speaker 2>of negative publicity.

0:58:22.240 --> 0:58:23.760
<v Speaker 21>About her husband ripping off.

0:58:23.840 --> 0:58:26.160
<v Speaker 2>So was that so you would have thought that of

0:58:26.200 --> 0:58:28.120
<v Speaker 2>all the teer seats, and it was Tim Wilson who

0:58:28.120 --> 0:58:31.439
<v Speaker 2>won back a tell seat from Zoey Daniel the Cuyong seat,

0:58:31.920 --> 0:58:34.720
<v Speaker 2>you would have thought, Sorry Goldstein Young, is that the

0:58:34.760 --> 0:58:37.000
<v Speaker 2>frightened big seat? You would have thought of the seat

0:58:37.040 --> 0:58:39.080
<v Speaker 2>that could go back to the Tills, it was probably

0:58:39.080 --> 0:58:39.760
<v Speaker 2>the Menique Ryan.

0:58:40.080 --> 0:58:41.880
<v Speaker 22>I agree, and I think that with all of that

0:58:41.960 --> 0:58:44.560
<v Speaker 22>negative publicity, in the face of all of that, that

0:58:44.680 --> 0:58:46.840
<v Speaker 22>if there was going to be a swing, it would

0:58:46.880 --> 0:58:49.640
<v Speaker 22>have been in that particular seat. I mean, look, let's

0:58:49.680 --> 0:58:53.040
<v Speaker 22>not forget that at this particular election, the Albanezi the

0:58:53.120 --> 0:58:57.400
<v Speaker 22>Labor government were able to successfully be re elected in

0:58:57.560 --> 0:59:01.160
<v Speaker 22>such an emphatic and historic way. Despite the fact that

0:59:01.160 --> 0:59:03.680
<v Speaker 22>they'd had the failure of you know, the Voice, They'd

0:59:03.680 --> 0:59:07.800
<v Speaker 22>had a cost of living crisis, energy crisis, immigration issues,

0:59:07.840 --> 0:59:11.360
<v Speaker 22>and all of these things behind them, they were still

0:59:11.360 --> 0:59:14.640
<v Speaker 22>able to win successfully. So I'm not necessarily sure what

0:59:14.720 --> 0:59:17.240
<v Speaker 22>the secret is to winning these days, but I certainly

0:59:17.280 --> 0:59:20.800
<v Speaker 22>know from the Conservatives it's not to become more left leaning,

0:59:20.840 --> 0:59:21.680
<v Speaker 22>that's for damn sure.

0:59:21.920 --> 0:59:23.720
<v Speaker 2>Now, just before we get to a topic that we're

0:59:23.720 --> 0:59:25.480
<v Speaker 2>going to discuss today, and of course we can take

0:59:25.480 --> 0:59:27.520
<v Speaker 2>your cause and your feedback for Lucy's ellixis half our

0:59:27.520 --> 0:59:30.360
<v Speaker 2>one three, one eight seven three. Anthony Albernzi has missed

0:59:30.360 --> 0:59:32.560
<v Speaker 2>out on his meeting with Donald Trump. We understand why

0:59:32.560 --> 0:59:35.680
<v Speaker 2>because mister Trump's returning to Washington to deal with the

0:59:35.720 --> 0:59:40.000
<v Speaker 2>Middle East crisis. However, mister Alberzi has today indicated he

0:59:40.040 --> 0:59:42.360
<v Speaker 2>now may consider going to the NATO conference next week

0:59:42.400 --> 0:59:46.320
<v Speaker 2>because mister Trump's going to be there, and perhaps you

0:59:46.360 --> 0:59:48.440
<v Speaker 2>could then jag a meeting with Donald Trump. Then I

0:59:48.480 --> 0:59:50.360
<v Speaker 2>had one of our listeners suggesting, oh, hang on, hang on,

0:59:50.440 --> 0:59:52.800
<v Speaker 2>this is Albert can to become Donald Trump's talker, the

0:59:52.800 --> 0:59:54.880
<v Speaker 2>way he's go chase him all over the world. Do

0:59:54.960 --> 0:59:56.840
<v Speaker 2>you think maybe you'd be better if we just did this.

1:00:00.360 --> 1:00:01.800
<v Speaker 2>We could just get out of the back on the plane,

1:00:01.800 --> 1:00:03.880
<v Speaker 2>come back home. It's not going to work. Whenever you're

1:00:03.880 --> 1:00:04.840
<v Speaker 2>not going to see mister Trump.

1:00:05.360 --> 1:00:07.160
<v Speaker 22>Whenever I think of that song before I get onto

1:00:07.200 --> 1:00:09.480
<v Speaker 22>the Trump stuff with Anthony Albanezy, I just think of

1:00:09.600 --> 1:00:11.280
<v Speaker 22>Ron moss right, who played.

1:00:11.080 --> 1:00:13.040
<v Speaker 21>Ridge in Bold and the Beauty.

1:00:13.360 --> 1:00:15.560
<v Speaker 22>Yes, and I grew up on and I wonder if

1:00:15.600 --> 1:00:18.160
<v Speaker 22>any of our listeners did as well. My mother and sister,

1:00:18.240 --> 1:00:19.840
<v Speaker 22>they worshiped Bold and the Beautiful.

1:00:19.840 --> 1:00:23.400
<v Speaker 21>In fact, still watch it. The series is still going today?

1:00:23.560 --> 1:00:26.280
<v Speaker 2>Is it still airing on Network ten just before the

1:00:26.320 --> 1:00:29.920
<v Speaker 2>five o'clock news, Because I honestly can say I've not

1:00:29.960 --> 1:00:32.720
<v Speaker 2>watched a full episode of Bold and Beautiful, but when

1:00:32.760 --> 1:00:34.880
<v Speaker 2>I didn't work these hours, I'd be at home waiting

1:00:34.880 --> 1:00:36.919
<v Speaker 2>for ten years to start. And they show those those

1:00:36.960 --> 1:00:41.280
<v Speaker 2>lovely slow motion shots, very moving stuff. It's oh, yeah,

1:00:41.280 --> 1:00:43.040
<v Speaker 2>it's rights.

1:00:43.120 --> 1:00:47.560
<v Speaker 22>It's gripping television, isn't it. Yes, Well was Ron Moss?

1:00:47.600 --> 1:00:49.400
<v Speaker 22>To my understanding. I mean, I haven't watched an episode

1:00:49.400 --> 1:00:51.680
<v Speaker 22>in a very very long time, but I think that

1:00:51.680 --> 1:00:55.000
<v Speaker 22>that particular character in that it was played by Ron

1:00:55.040 --> 1:00:57.480
<v Speaker 22>Moss has been moved on now it's been assumed by

1:00:57.480 --> 1:00:58.080
<v Speaker 22>somebody else.

1:00:58.160 --> 1:01:00.320
<v Speaker 2>We have taken a tangent though, So whether mister as

1:01:00.360 --> 1:01:03.000
<v Speaker 2>he comes back here or goes to Tonado, what do

1:01:03.000 --> 1:01:03.680
<v Speaker 2>you think he should do?

1:01:03.840 --> 1:01:04.080
<v Speaker 6>Oh?

1:01:04.120 --> 1:01:06.320
<v Speaker 22>Look, I think he's really got to get that meeting.

1:01:06.360 --> 1:01:07.760
<v Speaker 22>I do think there was a little bit of a

1:01:07.800 --> 1:01:09.080
<v Speaker 22>beat up. I mean, I'll be the first to say

1:01:09.080 --> 1:01:10.080
<v Speaker 22>I'm not Anthony Albanize.

1:01:10.080 --> 1:01:10.720
<v Speaker 1>He's biggest fan.

1:01:10.760 --> 1:01:13.200
<v Speaker 21>I think he's a decent enough bloke. Yeah, he's shocked

1:01:13.200 --> 1:01:13.480
<v Speaker 21>by that.

1:01:13.880 --> 1:01:16.280
<v Speaker 22>But I think in this particular instance, the fact that

1:01:16.320 --> 1:01:18.840
<v Speaker 22>Trump wasn't able to carry out that meeting with him,

1:01:18.960 --> 1:01:21.520
<v Speaker 22>regardless of whether it was Anthony Alberize or any other

1:01:21.600 --> 1:01:24.320
<v Speaker 22>leaders right at the G seven, I know that he

1:01:24.360 --> 1:01:26.160
<v Speaker 22>was able to meet with Sir Kis Starmer, but with

1:01:26.240 --> 1:01:28.240
<v Speaker 22>what's going on in the Middle East at the moment,

1:01:28.360 --> 1:01:31.800
<v Speaker 22>and with Israel's cries for the US to intervene, this

1:01:31.920 --> 1:01:34.960
<v Speaker 22>was a situation that really warranted Donald Trump leaving to

1:01:35.040 --> 1:01:37.880
<v Speaker 22>go into the situation room back in DC in Washington

1:01:37.920 --> 1:01:40.320
<v Speaker 22>and to really start to hash out these discussions because

1:01:40.760 --> 1:01:43.880
<v Speaker 22>we're not there yet, thankfully, but we are staring down

1:01:43.920 --> 1:01:45.960
<v Speaker 22>the barrel of what could potentially be a World War

1:01:46.000 --> 1:01:48.520
<v Speaker 22>three conflict if this is not resolved. And I think

1:01:48.560 --> 1:01:50.640
<v Speaker 22>that for so many of us, regardless of which side

1:01:50.680 --> 1:01:52.800
<v Speaker 22>of the fence you sit on, I mean, we are

1:01:52.840 --> 1:01:55.439
<v Speaker 22>so sick and tired of the death and the death

1:01:55.440 --> 1:01:57.920
<v Speaker 22>of civilians and what is going on in the Middle

1:01:57.920 --> 1:01:58.480
<v Speaker 22>East at the moment.

1:01:58.520 --> 1:01:59.920
<v Speaker 21>We need peace, We need a resolution.

1:02:00.920 --> 1:02:03.440
<v Speaker 22>But I don't know that I'm that concerned that he

1:02:03.560 --> 1:02:05.840
<v Speaker 22>wasn't able to jag a meeting with him off the

1:02:05.840 --> 1:02:08.320
<v Speaker 22>back of the G seven or during the G seven summit,

1:02:08.320 --> 1:02:10.360
<v Speaker 22>and Trump himself had said I felt as though I

1:02:10.400 --> 1:02:12.360
<v Speaker 22>did everything I needed to do there, which is why

1:02:12.400 --> 1:02:15.640
<v Speaker 22>I went. Is that a slap in the face to Alberineasy, Yes,

1:02:15.760 --> 1:02:18.240
<v Speaker 22>but we know that he along with his buddy Kevin

1:02:18.320 --> 1:02:21.600
<v Speaker 22>Rudd had been very critical of Donald Trump over the years,

1:02:21.600 --> 1:02:24.120
<v Speaker 22>so we'd be foolish to think that that potentially didn't

1:02:24.120 --> 1:02:27.200
<v Speaker 22>play into how Trump receives and perceives them.

1:02:27.360 --> 1:02:29.280
<v Speaker 2>I've been talking about power prices. Alan says in the

1:02:29.280 --> 1:02:31.240
<v Speaker 2>text line, I'd like to thank all those people who

1:02:31.360 --> 1:02:34.160
<v Speaker 2>voted Albow back in and thank them for the gift

1:02:34.200 --> 1:02:35.560
<v Speaker 2>of another power price rise.

1:02:36.280 --> 1:02:36.840
<v Speaker 21>July one.

1:02:36.880 --> 1:02:41.240
<v Speaker 2>Here we come this message from SIEV regarding Bolden and Beautiful.

1:02:41.240 --> 1:02:43.640
<v Speaker 2>We are dealing with the big ishues today. Why on

1:02:43.680 --> 1:02:45.320
<v Speaker 2>earth did they spend the last two minutes of every

1:02:45.320 --> 1:02:47.960
<v Speaker 2>show staring at each other and being silent? What was

1:02:47.960 --> 1:02:48.560
<v Speaker 2>it all about?

1:02:48.720 --> 1:02:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Dramatic effect?

1:02:50.000 --> 1:02:52.960
<v Speaker 22>It's really about drawing you in and understanding the gravity

1:02:52.960 --> 1:02:55.960
<v Speaker 22>of the situation, about the fact that potentially the fashion

1:02:56.000 --> 1:03:00.320
<v Speaker 22>empire is crumbling for the forest family or forest family

1:03:00.360 --> 1:03:02.520
<v Speaker 22>part of me, or that you know someone's having an affair.

1:03:02.560 --> 1:03:04.680
<v Speaker 22>It's really to draw emphasis to.

1:03:04.680 --> 1:03:07.880
<v Speaker 2>That moment Diana and Textline says that Josh Frodenberg actually

1:03:07.880 --> 1:03:10.240
<v Speaker 2>did manage to balance the budget. He actually managed to

1:03:10.240 --> 1:03:12.880
<v Speaker 2>clear some of Labour's previous debt in twenty nineteen, just

1:03:12.960 --> 1:03:17.200
<v Speaker 2>before COVID hit protected hundreds of thousands of dollars jobs

1:03:17.280 --> 1:03:18.440
<v Speaker 2>by going back into debt as well.

1:03:18.480 --> 1:03:20.560
<v Speaker 21>And he was a straight shooter, and that's fine, that's

1:03:20.680 --> 1:03:21.560
<v Speaker 21>absolutely fine.

1:03:21.600 --> 1:03:24.320
<v Speaker 22>But ultimately, in the grand scheme of things, why there

1:03:24.360 --> 1:03:28.000
<v Speaker 22>is such a grand I guess cry for him to

1:03:28.040 --> 1:03:30.680
<v Speaker 22>come back into the position, I'm not entirely convinced.

1:03:30.800 --> 1:03:32.800
<v Speaker 2>Coming up next, we're going to talk about mental health issues.

1:03:32.840 --> 1:03:36.720
<v Speaker 2>Lucy Zelich out straight shooter for a Wednesday Afternoon Mark

1:03:36.720 --> 1:03:40.120
<v Speaker 2>Guy coming up with an origin preview after five thirty. Lucy,

1:03:40.280 --> 1:03:43.080
<v Speaker 2>you wanted to raise issues about mental health today because

1:03:43.240 --> 1:03:45.280
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people are falling through the cracks.

1:03:45.080 --> 1:03:48.400
<v Speaker 22>They are, And there was this particular piece by a

1:03:48.520 --> 1:03:52.000
<v Speaker 22>psychiatrist by the name of Patrick mcgory who wrote in

1:03:52.040 --> 1:03:55.120
<v Speaker 22>the Herald Sun yesterday where he said, and I quote,

1:03:55.200 --> 1:03:57.040
<v Speaker 22>there has been a dramatic rise in the number of

1:03:57.040 --> 1:04:00.520
<v Speaker 22>people who need mental health care falling through the crack. Meanwhile,

1:04:00.560 --> 1:04:05.000
<v Speaker 22>more people with the genuine need are consuming mental health resources.

1:04:05.040 --> 1:04:07.760
<v Speaker 22>He also said that proportion of health and medical research

1:04:07.800 --> 1:04:11.560
<v Speaker 22>budgets to mental health remains stuck at around seven percent,

1:04:11.640 --> 1:04:14.360
<v Speaker 22>which also very tragically appears to be the exact same

1:04:14.360 --> 1:04:14.680
<v Speaker 22>as it.

1:04:14.760 --> 1:04:16.040
<v Speaker 21>Was thirty years ago.

1:04:16.520 --> 1:04:19.880
<v Speaker 22>So whilst we have made immense strides in the way

1:04:19.880 --> 1:04:23.400
<v Speaker 22>that we talk around mental health and the dedication that

1:04:23.520 --> 1:04:27.400
<v Speaker 22>exists now towards improving it and raising awareness around it.

1:04:27.720 --> 1:04:30.840
<v Speaker 22>I guess for me, the greatest issue that I had

1:04:30.840 --> 1:04:33.080
<v Speaker 22>when I read the article was that those who are

1:04:33.120 --> 1:04:36.760
<v Speaker 22>in genuine need of mental health assistance aren't getting it,

1:04:36.800 --> 1:04:39.960
<v Speaker 22>But those who are perhaps taking advantage of it, who

1:04:39.960 --> 1:04:44.080
<v Speaker 22>are perhaps using it as a shield to deflect accountability

1:04:44.680 --> 1:04:46.800
<v Speaker 22>or perhaps to show up when they're needed the most,

1:04:46.880 --> 1:04:50.040
<v Speaker 22>whether that be at work or wherever else, are choking

1:04:50.120 --> 1:04:52.800
<v Speaker 22>up the system. And we know that it is so broken,

1:04:52.920 --> 1:04:55.840
<v Speaker 22>and it's so choked up at the moment, particularly across

1:04:55.880 --> 1:04:57.560
<v Speaker 22>New South Wales, and I know that our colleague Mark

1:04:57.640 --> 1:05:01.000
<v Speaker 22>Levy has been very strong on this issue. I have

1:05:01.560 --> 1:05:04.120
<v Speaker 22>people who are very close to me who are experiencing

1:05:04.160 --> 1:05:06.720
<v Speaker 22>mental health issues who find it very difficult to, at

1:05:06.760 --> 1:05:08.880
<v Speaker 22>the very bare minimum, clinton put their hand up and

1:05:08.920 --> 1:05:12.360
<v Speaker 22>say I need help. But if they are putting their

1:05:12.360 --> 1:05:14.640
<v Speaker 22>hand up and saying I need help, they're encountering a

1:05:14.720 --> 1:05:17.520
<v Speaker 22>system that is very broken and that's unable to afford

1:05:17.560 --> 1:05:20.880
<v Speaker 22>them an extended period of care. They get a certain

1:05:20.920 --> 1:05:23.400
<v Speaker 22>allowance for it, and then they're cast back out into

1:05:23.440 --> 1:05:27.240
<v Speaker 22>the world, and unfortunately they feel very isolated and alone

1:05:27.280 --> 1:05:29.800
<v Speaker 22>because they can't navigate this on their own.

1:05:30.000 --> 1:05:32.120
<v Speaker 2>What is really tricky, and a lot of us have

1:05:32.360 --> 1:05:35.920
<v Speaker 2>personal connections to this, is that firstly, it can be

1:05:35.960 --> 1:05:38.440
<v Speaker 2>very expensive, and that's part of medicine. But if you

1:05:38.480 --> 1:05:41.640
<v Speaker 2>get a broken if you break your leg, you go forward.

1:05:41.840 --> 1:05:45.200
<v Speaker 2>It's quite straightforward to get fixed. If you've got a

1:05:45.200 --> 1:05:48.200
<v Speaker 2>mental health issue, what is critical is that the person

1:05:48.280 --> 1:05:51.480
<v Speaker 2>suffering the mental health problem has a connection with the

1:05:51.520 --> 1:05:54.760
<v Speaker 2>person who's helping them, and that can be very hard

1:05:54.760 --> 1:05:57.160
<v Speaker 2>to find, very challenging, and particularly in the public system.

1:05:57.200 --> 1:06:00.520
<v Speaker 2>You good luck because what you get, that's where it's

1:06:00.560 --> 1:06:03.440
<v Speaker 2>so different from somebody who's going to repair your knee

1:06:03.760 --> 1:06:06.040
<v Speaker 2>to somebody who's trying to help with what's going inside

1:06:06.040 --> 1:06:06.400
<v Speaker 2>your head.

1:06:06.480 --> 1:06:06.959
<v Speaker 21>That's right.

1:06:06.960 --> 1:06:09.320
<v Speaker 2>If you don't make a connection, you might not the

1:06:09.320 --> 1:06:11.640
<v Speaker 2>person may not open up in the way they need

1:06:11.680 --> 1:06:12.040
<v Speaker 2>to know.

1:06:12.280 --> 1:06:15.400
<v Speaker 22>And I have actually myself, I've been to a counselor.

1:06:15.440 --> 1:06:17.560
<v Speaker 22>I'd lost someone whom I worked with that I was

1:06:17.640 --> 1:06:20.840
<v Speaker 22>quite close to Les Murray many years ago, the broadcaster,

1:06:20.920 --> 1:06:22.880
<v Speaker 22>and I found it difficult to process his death. But

1:06:22.920 --> 1:06:25.760
<v Speaker 22>also my mother who was going through her own cancer

1:06:25.800 --> 1:06:28.600
<v Speaker 22>diagnosis and having to process that as her daughter who

1:06:28.640 --> 1:06:31.400
<v Speaker 22>was watching her go through this in six months of chemotherapy.

1:06:31.680 --> 1:06:35.960
<v Speaker 22>So I lent on really good, solid counseling that was

1:06:36.000 --> 1:06:38.240
<v Speaker 22>provided to me at the time, and that was through

1:06:38.280 --> 1:06:42.040
<v Speaker 22>my employment. But it's absolutely critical, as you said there,

1:06:42.120 --> 1:06:44.520
<v Speaker 22>to find a person who you resonate with, who you

1:06:44.560 --> 1:06:48.000
<v Speaker 22>connect with, and that's really critical in whether or not

1:06:48.160 --> 1:06:50.800
<v Speaker 22>you are going to proceed with that particular person. But

1:06:50.840 --> 1:06:54.120
<v Speaker 22>also and I remember I spoke recently with the domestic

1:06:54.160 --> 1:06:57.760
<v Speaker 22>violence Prevention Minister, Robin Cahill, and she said to me

1:06:57.880 --> 1:06:59.600
<v Speaker 22>that particularly a lot of the issues that are going

1:06:59.680 --> 1:07:02.600
<v Speaker 22>on in the territory with young kids and men around

1:07:02.680 --> 1:07:05.560
<v Speaker 22>domestic violence. She said, we can place them in courses,

1:07:05.600 --> 1:07:07.280
<v Speaker 22>and this speaks to your point that you made. We

1:07:07.320 --> 1:07:10.920
<v Speaker 22>can place them in courses or give them these tools

1:07:10.960 --> 1:07:14.360
<v Speaker 22>that last only for about say, sixteen week period, and

1:07:14.560 --> 1:07:17.080
<v Speaker 22>in so many instances that's not enough.

1:07:17.240 --> 1:07:18.440
<v Speaker 21>They need more time.

1:07:19.520 --> 1:07:22.800
<v Speaker 22>And I guess part of my frustration is also around

1:07:23.040 --> 1:07:25.840
<v Speaker 22>how it's being dealt with at the adolescent level, because

1:07:25.840 --> 1:07:28.520
<v Speaker 22>there are so many children who genuinely need this help.

1:07:28.760 --> 1:07:29.920
<v Speaker 21>But then on the flip.

1:07:29.600 --> 1:07:31.920
<v Speaker 22>Side of that coin, I had a really interesting conversation

1:07:31.960 --> 1:07:34.600
<v Speaker 22>earlier today with the well being officer who works very

1:07:34.640 --> 1:07:36.840
<v Speaker 22>closely as a trained counselor, but works very closely in

1:07:36.880 --> 1:07:40.320
<v Speaker 22>elite sporting environments with adolescents, but also schools, and he

1:07:40.360 --> 1:07:42.880
<v Speaker 22>said one of the issues that I'm encountering with young

1:07:42.960 --> 1:07:46.160
<v Speaker 22>children is that, he said, when they are experiencing issues

1:07:46.240 --> 1:07:48.480
<v Speaker 22>like anxiety because they have to give a speech or

1:07:48.520 --> 1:07:52.640
<v Speaker 22>something like that, we're losing that element of hey, come on,

1:07:52.720 --> 1:07:54.400
<v Speaker 22>We're just going to push you that little bit more

1:07:54.440 --> 1:07:56.680
<v Speaker 22>and get you into that space. Because what they're being

1:07:56.720 --> 1:07:59.000
<v Speaker 22>slapped with is a tag of oh, you've got anxiety

1:07:59.320 --> 1:08:01.320
<v Speaker 22>or you've got to depression, and we need to either

1:08:01.360 --> 1:08:04.000
<v Speaker 22>medicalize you or we need to keep you from going

1:08:04.040 --> 1:08:07.080
<v Speaker 22>down that path. And he used this brilliant analogy Clinton

1:08:07.080 --> 1:08:09.040
<v Speaker 22>where he said, when I get asked to go and

1:08:09.080 --> 1:08:12.520
<v Speaker 22>speak to schools and deliver, you know, talks around resilience,

1:08:13.040 --> 1:08:15.200
<v Speaker 22>he said sometimes I kind of laughed to myself a

1:08:15.240 --> 1:08:16.880
<v Speaker 22>little bit because he said, with the way that we're

1:08:16.960 --> 1:08:19.760
<v Speaker 22>raising our youth now, we're so afraid, especially when that

1:08:19.760 --> 1:08:22.880
<v Speaker 22>mental health card gets raised, we're so afraid that if

1:08:22.880 --> 1:08:25.599
<v Speaker 22>we don't act, there could be dire consequences. But he said,

1:08:25.840 --> 1:08:28.320
<v Speaker 22>on the flip side, we've lost that ability to kind

1:08:28.360 --> 1:08:30.360
<v Speaker 22>of encourage them to push through. So he said, it's

1:08:30.400 --> 1:08:33.120
<v Speaker 22>no good me introducing you to a gym if you

1:08:33.160 --> 1:08:35.280
<v Speaker 22>want to get strong, but you're not allowed to use

1:08:35.280 --> 1:08:37.360
<v Speaker 22>the equipment. And I thought that was really powerful.

1:08:37.400 --> 1:08:39.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, really good point. Our number one three one eight

1:08:39.240 --> 1:08:42.120
<v Speaker 2>seven three. Lucy'szelich our straight Shooter on a Wednesday afternoon.

1:08:43.040 --> 1:08:45.360
<v Speaker 2>Lucy's Elich is with me as she is every Wednesday afternoon.

1:08:45.360 --> 1:08:47.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm get your views on Warwick Kappap in just a moment,

1:08:47.439 --> 1:08:49.839
<v Speaker 2>because we've been talking about that throughout the program. But firstly,

1:08:54.880 --> 1:08:56.720
<v Speaker 2>I've got to play it again because Gary's just sent

1:08:56.720 --> 1:08:58.920
<v Speaker 2>me your message, and Gary says, go and have a

1:08:58.920 --> 1:09:02.759
<v Speaker 2>look the baby come that video on YouTube. Ron Moss

1:09:02.800 --> 1:09:05.880
<v Speaker 2>is in an orange jumpsuit or something like that. It

1:09:05.880 --> 1:09:08.679
<v Speaker 2>actually looks like he's escaped from prison. I don't think

1:09:08.720 --> 1:09:10.720
<v Speaker 2>the orange jumpsuit is going to come back in.

1:09:11.400 --> 1:09:12.519
<v Speaker 21>How many more times do you reckon?

1:09:12.600 --> 1:09:14.920
<v Speaker 22>You're going to play this five time the program finishes?

1:09:14.960 --> 1:09:16.120
<v Speaker 22>Where else can you squeeze that?

1:09:16.840 --> 1:09:18.759
<v Speaker 21>And a discussion around fat boy bikes.

1:09:19.760 --> 1:09:21.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I'm going to be listening to the

1:09:21.600 --> 1:09:24.000
<v Speaker 2>State of origin coverage tonight, I'm going to be listening.

1:09:23.680 --> 1:09:26.599
<v Speaker 22>To what's your tip, mate, what's your tip for tonight?

1:09:29.240 --> 1:09:31.519
<v Speaker 2>New Southwales should win. But I think there's been so

1:09:31.640 --> 1:09:34.200
<v Speaker 2>much controversy in the past twenty four hours with the

1:09:34.200 --> 1:09:38.120
<v Speaker 2>comments that Billy Slater made about and he's now issued

1:09:38.120 --> 1:09:40.880
<v Speaker 2>in apology because he brought him the former coach Paul

1:09:40.880 --> 1:09:41.760
<v Speaker 2>Green and his.

1:09:42.200 --> 1:09:45.040
<v Speaker 22>I didn't like that, I didn't like that he went

1:09:45.120 --> 1:09:45.799
<v Speaker 22>from start.

1:09:45.760 --> 1:09:47.120
<v Speaker 2>And I didn't like that he was called a grub

1:09:47.120 --> 1:09:50.000
<v Speaker 2>in the first place, But then the response took Can

1:09:50.080 --> 1:09:52.040
<v Speaker 2>I just make a little bit the word grub?

1:09:52.120 --> 1:09:54.200
<v Speaker 21>I know, but I've grown up in sport right.

1:09:54.240 --> 1:09:57.040
<v Speaker 22>Both of my brothers represented Australia, very lucky and fortunate

1:09:57.080 --> 1:09:59.120
<v Speaker 22>to have great respective careers in their own right. My

1:09:59.200 --> 1:10:02.240
<v Speaker 22>husband is an ex Australia international as well. What I

1:10:02.280 --> 1:10:05.479
<v Speaker 22>will say is this the stuff that gets exchanged on

1:10:05.520 --> 1:10:09.400
<v Speaker 22>a football I'm not saying that that's okay, but for

1:10:09.560 --> 1:10:12.640
<v Speaker 22>goodness sake, and then to reference the previous one that

1:10:12.640 --> 1:10:16.200
<v Speaker 22>shouldn't have happened. No, it shouldn't have. You picked up

1:10:16.200 --> 1:10:18.160
<v Speaker 22>a bit, Billy boy.

1:10:18.200 --> 1:10:20.599
<v Speaker 2>But I think there's now so much focus on that

1:10:21.120 --> 1:10:23.280
<v Speaker 2>and the fact that the queens stands down one Niel.

1:10:23.520 --> 1:10:26.559
<v Speaker 2>I think there might be so much momentum behind Queensland

1:10:26.640 --> 1:10:28.320
<v Speaker 2>to well it.

1:10:28.320 --> 1:10:30.160
<v Speaker 22>It can have the opposite effect to it can serve

1:10:30.200 --> 1:10:33.320
<v Speaker 22>as a distraction, and unfortunately, I think that that's what

1:10:33.360 --> 1:10:35.920
<v Speaker 22>this exchange has done. I think the Billy would have

1:10:35.960 --> 1:10:37.720
<v Speaker 22>been better off just letting it slide.

1:10:37.840 --> 1:10:40.439
<v Speaker 2>We've been speaking throughout the program about Wara Kappa, who's

1:10:40.439 --> 1:10:43.519
<v Speaker 2>been banned for five years by the AFL, and Peter

1:10:43.640 --> 1:10:46.599
<v Speaker 2>Ford has described him as a quote idiot. But Peter

1:10:46.680 --> 1:10:48.560
<v Speaker 2>Ford's also questioning whether a five year band is a

1:10:48.560 --> 1:10:50.560
<v Speaker 2>little bit over the top. When he was having a conversation,

1:10:51.360 --> 1:10:53.240
<v Speaker 2>I didn't realize this, but he does run a broth

1:10:53.280 --> 1:10:56.919
<v Speaker 2>or apparently very successful. He made a suggesting that somebody

1:10:57.120 --> 1:10:59.880
<v Speaker 2>who was serving drinks would be a good worker, and

1:11:00.200 --> 1:11:02.400
<v Speaker 2>he was overheard in the conversation. Is it over the

1:11:02.400 --> 1:11:03.360
<v Speaker 2>top the five year band?

1:11:03.520 --> 1:11:06.000
<v Speaker 22>Of course it's over the top. I love Peter Ford,

1:11:06.000 --> 1:11:07.400
<v Speaker 22>by the way. I think he's great. I'm not going

1:11:07.439 --> 1:11:10.320
<v Speaker 22>to reference his term and call Kapper an idiot. That's

1:11:10.360 --> 1:11:13.600
<v Speaker 22>his right if he chooses to call him that, but

1:11:13.760 --> 1:11:16.080
<v Speaker 22>I think he is absolutely correct in his assertion that

1:11:16.160 --> 1:11:18.840
<v Speaker 22>it is well over the top. I mean, we literally

1:11:18.960 --> 1:11:23.559
<v Speaker 22>have elected officials who are calling for more regulatory support

1:11:24.040 --> 1:11:25.040
<v Speaker 22>for sex workers.

1:11:25.080 --> 1:11:27.840
<v Speaker 21>It is a legal industry.

1:11:27.680 --> 1:11:30.400
<v Speaker 22>And depending which state you're in, they kind of vary

1:11:30.400 --> 1:11:33.479
<v Speaker 22>in terms of their classifications. But Alex Greenwich, who is

1:11:33.520 --> 1:11:36.000
<v Speaker 22>a Sydney MP, he was calling for more protections and

1:11:36.080 --> 1:11:37.599
<v Speaker 22>the decriminalization of it.

1:11:38.000 --> 1:11:39.240
<v Speaker 21>The Greens have a.

1:11:39.479 --> 1:11:42.599
<v Speaker 22>Sex Work is Work initiative, which is a two page

1:11:42.680 --> 1:11:46.680
<v Speaker 22>document on their website which talks about protecting sex workers'

1:11:46.800 --> 1:11:48.839
<v Speaker 22>rights over in South Australia.

1:11:48.880 --> 1:11:50.679
<v Speaker 21>Green's leader. This was just in April.

1:11:50.800 --> 1:11:53.120
<v Speaker 22>Green's leader Tammy Franks put forward a bill in the

1:11:53.200 --> 1:11:57.519
<v Speaker 22>Upper House to decriminalize sex work, with certain elements of

1:11:57.560 --> 1:12:01.599
<v Speaker 22>the bill permitting infants up to the age of eighteen months.

1:12:01.760 --> 1:12:04.760
<v Speaker 22>This is legitimate to be within a brothel because it

1:12:04.760 --> 1:12:10.320
<v Speaker 22>could support working mothers. I mean, this stuff is absolutely insane.

1:12:10.360 --> 1:12:12.360
<v Speaker 22>I don't agree with any of it. I think it's

1:12:12.400 --> 1:12:16.040
<v Speaker 22>a joke and I do not support decriminalizing sex work.

1:12:16.080 --> 1:12:19.599
<v Speaker 22>I don't think that any situation that provides women the

1:12:19.600 --> 1:12:23.720
<v Speaker 22>only pathway of sex work being a viable job, I

1:12:23.760 --> 1:12:25.920
<v Speaker 22>don't think that that's something that we should endorse or

1:12:26.040 --> 1:12:28.280
<v Speaker 22>encourage but our politicians.

1:12:27.560 --> 1:12:31.160
<v Speaker 21>Are doing that right. So the AFL's.

1:12:30.520 --> 1:12:32.840
<v Speaker 22>Decision to bankap of for five years over a comment

1:12:32.920 --> 1:12:36.760
<v Speaker 22>he alleges he made in private at which someone overheard

1:12:38.560 --> 1:12:42.160
<v Speaker 22>about a legal industry in this country is just embarrassing.

1:12:42.200 --> 1:12:44.280
<v Speaker 22>I mean, and this coming from the mob. They're now

1:12:44.280 --> 1:12:47.440
<v Speaker 22>the morality police, are they? They've got a three strikes

1:12:47.520 --> 1:12:52.040
<v Speaker 22>policy where a player can get caught doing drugs and

1:12:52.080 --> 1:12:55.000
<v Speaker 22>all they're going to do is slap out suspensions. This

1:12:55.160 --> 1:12:58.439
<v Speaker 22>from the group that actually kind of, you know, hid

1:12:58.439 --> 1:13:02.040
<v Speaker 22>the fact that about are AFL players last year received

1:13:02.120 --> 1:13:06.280
<v Speaker 22>secret immunity from the codes three strikes drug policy, according

1:13:06.280 --> 1:13:09.320
<v Speaker 22>to club medical officials. This from them all of a sudden,

1:13:09.400 --> 1:13:11.559
<v Speaker 22>they've got a moral compass about this. Give me a

1:13:11.600 --> 1:13:13.040
<v Speaker 22>break five years, that's a joke.

1:13:13.160 --> 1:13:15.280
<v Speaker 2>We're almost at a time there's been some new research

1:13:15.320 --> 1:13:19.120
<v Speaker 2>that's been released suggesting addiction to gaming and smartphones is

1:13:19.160 --> 1:13:20.360
<v Speaker 2>starting earlier than we thought.

1:13:20.520 --> 1:13:24.080
<v Speaker 22>Oh, it's really quite devastating. Actually, So this was quite

1:13:24.160 --> 1:13:26.599
<v Speaker 22>concerning because we've always assumed that this is something that

1:13:26.640 --> 1:13:30.120
<v Speaker 22>only kids kind of in the teenage years have access to,

1:13:30.240 --> 1:13:32.880
<v Speaker 22>but a report from Aquara University revealed that children are

1:13:32.920 --> 1:13:37.719
<v Speaker 22>spending up to nine hours on their screens nine hours

1:13:37.720 --> 1:13:41.559
<v Speaker 22>a day, and the study surveyed two thousand kids from

1:13:41.760 --> 1:13:45.599
<v Speaker 22>ranging from year four to eight right, and four percent

1:13:45.680 --> 1:13:50.160
<v Speaker 22>of these kids showed signs of clinical or subclinical internet

1:13:50.280 --> 1:13:54.559
<v Speaker 22>gaming disorder. Young that young Clinton, I mean, come on,

1:13:54.880 --> 1:13:57.479
<v Speaker 22>we don't need big Daddy government to tell us that

1:13:57.520 --> 1:14:00.080
<v Speaker 22>social media is harming our children. We know this for

1:14:00.200 --> 1:14:02.880
<v Speaker 22>a fact, So I didn't need Anthony Alberanezi to say, right,

1:14:02.880 --> 1:14:05.240
<v Speaker 22>we're going to ban under sixteen year olds from accessing

1:14:05.320 --> 1:14:08.600
<v Speaker 22>social media or the internet in certain instances.

1:14:08.640 --> 1:14:10.599
<v Speaker 21>We know it's doing harm. Parents.

1:14:10.640 --> 1:14:13.760
<v Speaker 22>Please, I'm telling you now, get your kids off their

1:14:13.800 --> 1:14:15.719
<v Speaker 22>screens and away from social media.

1:14:16.080 --> 1:14:18.400
<v Speaker 2>Is up to us to govern that as well, because

1:14:18.479 --> 1:14:20.880
<v Speaker 2>kids are smart and they'll get around the government rules

1:14:20.880 --> 1:14:22.960
<v Speaker 2>when they do. Come in. Lucy, It's always a pleasure.

1:14:23.080 --> 1:14:24.200
<v Speaker 21>Thank you so much. Clinton.

1:14:24.240 --> 1:14:25.320
<v Speaker 2>W PLA this one last time.

1:14:26.600 --> 1:14:27.799
<v Speaker 21>I'll be back next Wednesday.

1:14:28.000 --> 1:14:32.000
<v Speaker 2>Lucy returns every Wednesday afternoon. Frustrated Shooters news is next.

1:14:33.760 --> 1:14:37.719
<v Speaker 1>This Sydney now with Clinton on.

1:14:37.640 --> 1:14:40.240
<v Speaker 2>To GB seven past five one three one eight seven

1:14:40.280 --> 1:14:42.240
<v Speaker 2>three is our number. There is a lot of news

1:14:42.280 --> 1:14:46.519
<v Speaker 2>breaking right now. The Daily Telegraph is providing an update

1:14:46.720 --> 1:14:50.479
<v Speaker 2>of one of the victims of the Auban kebab shop

1:14:50.520 --> 1:14:54.439
<v Speaker 2>shooting this week. Now this is a twenty five year old.

1:14:54.920 --> 1:14:58.200
<v Speaker 2>His name is Carlie Tassini. He was the man it's

1:14:58.240 --> 1:15:03.519
<v Speaker 2>alleged was effectively the bodyguard of Samang and Azara. Now

1:15:03.760 --> 1:15:05.800
<v Speaker 2>Azara is the twenty six year old who has now

1:15:05.800 --> 1:15:08.639
<v Speaker 2>had four attempts on his life, the Telegraph is saying,

1:15:08.640 --> 1:15:10.120
<v Speaker 2>And this is a bloke who's now been shot in

1:15:10.160 --> 1:15:13.599
<v Speaker 2>the face. The Telegraph is reporting that he may never

1:15:13.720 --> 1:15:19.000
<v Speaker 2>walk again. Doctors are still treating him in hospital. Shrapnel

1:15:19.000 --> 1:15:23.000
<v Speaker 2>has traveled through his spine. It's caused significant damage. He

1:15:23.040 --> 1:15:25.880
<v Speaker 2>may well be in a wheelchair for life. That's the

1:15:25.920 --> 1:15:31.439
<v Speaker 2>twenty five year old. Now Azara's injuries are not as extreme.

1:15:31.760 --> 1:15:34.479
<v Speaker 2>He was struck in the shoulder. Now he is the

1:15:34.479 --> 1:15:37.240
<v Speaker 2>one where there's been four attempts on his life in

1:15:37.320 --> 1:15:41.760
<v Speaker 2>recent months. And then there is the shop employee who

1:15:41.880 --> 1:15:44.960
<v Speaker 2>was just doing her job, just working inside that kebab shop.

1:15:44.960 --> 1:15:48.720
<v Speaker 2>The forty seven year old lady. Well, she remains in

1:15:48.760 --> 1:15:53.679
<v Speaker 2>a medically induced coma. She was shot twice in the stomach.

1:16:15.640 --> 1:16:18.479
<v Speaker 2>a massive drama in Melbourne. A shopping center in the

<v Speaker 2>suburb of Preston Preston Is in the northeast has been

1:16:22.120 --> 1:16:25.840
<v Speaker 2>placed in the complete lockdown. A car has smashed through

1:16:25.880 --> 1:16:29.800
<v Speaker 2>the shopping center. This afternoon. A lady named Tanya has

1:16:29.840 --> 1:16:32.840
<v Speaker 2>called into My Colleagues program on three MW our sister

1:16:32.920 --> 1:16:36.720

<v Speaker 2>from the Kmart inside the Northland shopping Center, and she's

1:16:41.320 --> 1:16:42.400
<v Speaker 2>described what's happened.

1:16:42.560 --> 1:16:43.759

1:16:46.200 --> 1:16:48.760
<v Speaker 23>lot of messages on my social about this. Tanya, I

1:16:48.800 --> 1:16:50.639
<v Speaker 23>understand you're at Northland. What's happened?

1:16:50.840 --> 1:16:56.280
<v Speaker 9>Yes, we're in lockdown in Kmart. Apparently a car on

1:16:56.360 --> 1:16:57.439
<v Speaker 9>through the shopping center.

1:16:58.520 --> 1:17:00.920
<v Speaker 13>Oh my god, can you see, Tanya?

1:17:01.760 --> 1:17:04.280
<v Speaker 9>I can't see. We're just we're all barricaded in here.

1:17:04.680 --> 1:17:05.759
<v Speaker 13>Have they locked the doors?

1:17:06.120 --> 1:17:09.320
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, they've locked the doors. Everyone ols of sirens going.

1:17:09.640 --> 1:17:12.040
<v Speaker 9>I think there must be police. I don't know what's

1:17:12.080 --> 1:17:12.840
<v Speaker 9>happening out there.

1:17:12.960 --> 1:17:15.120
<v Speaker 13>How many of you are inside?

1:17:16.680 --> 1:17:18.800
<v Speaker 9>Good sixty seventy people in.

1:17:18.760 --> 1:17:21.479
<v Speaker 13>Here, okay, and did you hear anything before?

1:17:22.400 --> 1:17:27.200
<v Speaker 9>No, it sounded like gunshots. It was a car obviously,

1:17:27.400 --> 1:17:29.519
<v Speaker 9>some girls in here saw it and then they quickly

1:17:30.680 --> 1:17:34.719
<v Speaker 9>all the managers like would be the gates down straight away.

1:17:35.080 --> 1:17:37.120
<v Speaker 2>That is just a short time ago. Tanya're calling my

1:17:37.120 --> 1:17:40.519
<v Speaker 2>colleague Jackie Felgate on three LW So a car has

1:17:40.600 --> 1:17:45.120
<v Speaker 2>driven into the Northland Shopping Center straight through into the kmart.

1:17:46.240 --> 1:17:50.559
<v Speaker 2>Sounded like bullets were being fired, but it's the car.

1:17:50.840 --> 1:17:54.440
<v Speaker 2>We don't have much further detail other than the Northland

1:17:54.439 --> 1:17:58.000
<v Speaker 2>Shopping Center which is in Murray Road in Preston, which

1:17:58.080 --> 1:18:00.960
<v Speaker 2>is in the northeast of Melbourne. It is just in

1:18:01.040 --> 1:18:02.519
<v Speaker 2>complete lockdown at the moment.

1:18:03.560 --> 1:18:07.040
<v Speaker 5>You want to know what's happening in Sydney, stay tuned

1:18:07.160 --> 1:18:10.559
<v Speaker 5>to Sydney now with Clinton Laynard on to GMV.

1:18:11.120 --> 1:18:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's in Melbourne. In Sydney, the city has been

1:18:13.960 --> 1:18:16.559
<v Speaker 2>shocked by the revelations that have been made by the

1:18:16.560 --> 1:18:21.040
<v Speaker 2>police today that four teenage boys age from fourteen and

1:18:21.200 --> 1:18:27.080
<v Speaker 2>nineteen have been charged over a horrific sexual assault of

1:18:27.120 --> 1:18:30.639
<v Speaker 2>a seventeen year old girl. Now, this occurred in December

1:18:30.680 --> 1:18:34.680
<v Speaker 2>of last year where the seventeen year old was approached

1:18:34.680 --> 1:18:37.400
<v Speaker 2>by a mail that she did not know at a

1:18:37.479 --> 1:18:41.280
<v Speaker 2>shopping center in Liverpool. The mail allegedly followed the girl

1:18:41.320 --> 1:18:45.519
<v Speaker 2>to her car and reluctantly and this is all going

1:18:45.600 --> 1:18:48.759
<v Speaker 2>to now it's before the courts. She was allowed inside

1:18:48.760 --> 1:18:54.320
<v Speaker 2>the car and the sexual assault began. It's alleged the

1:18:54.400 --> 1:18:58.000
<v Speaker 2>assault which went on for six hours. And this is

1:18:58.080 --> 1:19:00.280
<v Speaker 2>it's difficult to talk about, but it's something that we

1:19:00.360 --> 1:19:03.720
<v Speaker 2>have to talk about because for many of you that

1:19:03.760 --> 1:19:06.040
<v Speaker 2>I know have long memories. We can recall what happened

1:19:06.120 --> 1:19:09.960
<v Speaker 2>nearly two thousands in this city with the scaff Brothers

1:19:10.160 --> 1:19:15.479
<v Speaker 2>gang rape. And this will all be playing out before

1:19:15.520 --> 1:19:18.320
<v Speaker 2>the courts. But we need to talk about this because

1:19:18.360 --> 1:19:20.519
<v Speaker 2>we need to make sure this stuff doesn't happen again.

1:19:23.680 --> 1:19:26.839
<v Speaker 2>The rape, the sexual assault went on for six hours

1:19:26.880 --> 1:19:31.280
<v Speaker 2>now and we're only finding out about this today. In December,

1:19:31.439 --> 1:19:36.760
<v Speaker 2>two teenagers were arrested, fourteen year old boy and a

1:19:36.800 --> 1:19:43.000
<v Speaker 2>sixteen year old boy and they've been before the courts

1:19:42.000 --> 1:19:46.040
<v Speaker 2>as we now know. In December and they were remarded

1:19:46.080 --> 1:19:49.240
<v Speaker 2>in custody. Well, in the past twenty four hours, another

1:19:49.320 --> 1:19:53.640
<v Speaker 2>two teenagers have been arrested, an eighteen year old and

1:19:53.680 --> 1:19:56.120
<v Speaker 2>a nineteen year old. Now those two have been before

1:19:56.120 --> 1:19:59.479
<v Speaker 2>the courts today. This is prompted a statement that's just

1:19:59.560 --> 1:20:02.479
<v Speaker 2>been really from the acting Police Commissioner, Peter Thirtill, and

1:20:02.479 --> 1:20:06.120
<v Speaker 2>I'll read you the statement. Statement says, and alleged horrific

1:20:06.120 --> 1:20:09.120
<v Speaker 2>crime of this nature drives our investigators to be meticulous

1:20:09.160 --> 1:20:12.120
<v Speaker 2>in gathering evidence in order to get an irrefutable conviction.

1:20:13.560 --> 1:20:15.720
<v Speaker 2>Our thoughts with the victim and her family, who will

1:20:15.760 --> 1:20:18.240
<v Speaker 2>undoubtedly have to live with this alleged sickening attack for

1:20:18.280 --> 1:20:21.559
<v Speaker 2>the rest of their lives. Detectives worked tirelessly and have

1:20:21.600 --> 1:20:24.400
<v Speaker 2>done an outstanding job bringing these people before the courts.

1:20:25.280 --> 1:20:28.920
<v Speaker 2>COVID strategies to identify the roles of each offender were

1:20:28.920 --> 1:20:33.600
<v Speaker 2>put in place. Both physical and electronic surveillance was used extensively.

1:20:34.160 --> 1:20:37.240
<v Speaker 2>The moment officers knew they could throw the book at them,

1:20:37.400 --> 1:20:41.040
<v Speaker 2>arrests were made. So he is referring to the fact

1:20:41.080 --> 1:20:46.120
<v Speaker 2>that this crime took place in December last year. The

1:20:46.120 --> 1:20:49.240
<v Speaker 2>two very young teenagers were arrested in December of last year,

1:20:49.280 --> 1:20:51.479
<v Speaker 2>but now in the last twenty four hours, two older

1:20:51.479 --> 1:20:55.760
<v Speaker 2>teenagers have been arrested. The acting Commissioner says, if there

1:20:55.840 --> 1:20:58.759
<v Speaker 2>is anyone who is a champion of public and community

1:20:58.800 --> 1:21:00.800
<v Speaker 2>safety in this regard, it is the head of the

1:21:00.840 --> 1:21:05.479
<v Speaker 2>Six Crimes Squad, Detective Superintendent Jane Dougherty and her team,

1:21:06.560 --> 1:21:09.600
<v Speaker 2>and the Detective Superintendent has also spoken today.

1:21:09.479 --> 1:21:12.200
<v Speaker 24>Beggar's belief that in this day and age that men

1:21:12.400 --> 1:21:14.840
<v Speaker 24>would think to act this way towards a girl, and

1:21:14.880 --> 1:21:18.920
<v Speaker 24>to act not just instantaneously, but over a six hour period,

1:21:19.439 --> 1:21:24.280
<v Speaker 24>continuing to act together and encourage each other and degrade

1:21:24.360 --> 1:21:26.479
<v Speaker 24>the victim in the way that they did. This is

1:21:26.520 --> 1:21:29.720
<v Speaker 24>the offending at the highest level that you can think of.

1:21:29.920 --> 1:21:33.760
<v Speaker 24>And these are yes, they're young men, but even at

1:21:33.800 --> 1:21:36.800
<v Speaker 24>that young age, they would know that they should know

1:21:36.880 --> 1:21:39.400
<v Speaker 24>that this is not the way that you could treat

1:21:39.439 --> 1:21:40.320
<v Speaker 24>another human being.

1:21:40.439 --> 1:21:43.639
<v Speaker 2>So those allegations have alleged sexual assault over the course

1:21:43.680 --> 1:21:46.280
<v Speaker 2>of six hours will now be tested in court.

1:21:46.439 --> 1:21:47.559
<v Speaker 13>You need to go to Tanya.

1:21:47.600 --> 1:21:49.800
<v Speaker 23>Now we're getting a lot of calls and get a

1:21:49.840 --> 1:21:51.800
<v Speaker 23>lot of messages on my social about this.

1:21:51.880 --> 1:21:54.000
<v Speaker 13>Tanya. I understand you're at North lad What's happened.

1:21:54.160 --> 1:21:59.240
<v Speaker 9>Yes, we're in lockdown in kmart. Apparently a carved on

<v Speaker 9>through the shopping center.

1:22:01.320 --> 1:22:03.599
<v Speaker 13>Oh my god, what can you see, Tanya?

1:22:04.320 --> 1:22:06.759
<v Speaker 9>I can't see. We're just look, we're all barricaded in here.

1:22:07.040 --> 1:22:08.080
<v Speaker 13>Have they locked the doors?

1:22:08.400 --> 1:22:10.680
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, they've locked the doors. Everyone saw the alat of

1:22:10.720 --> 1:22:13.679
<v Speaker 9>sirens going. I think there must be police. I don't

1:22:13.720 --> 1:22:14.720
<v Speaker 9>know what's happening out there.

1:22:14.800 --> 1:22:16.080
<v Speaker 13>How many of you are inside?

1:22:18.280 --> 1:22:18.519
<v Speaker 2>Good?

1:22:18.880 --> 1:22:20.439
<v Speaker 9>Sixty seventy people in here?

1:22:20.840 --> 1:22:22.759
<v Speaker 13>Okay, And did you hear anything before?

1:22:23.560 --> 1:22:28.120
<v Speaker 9>No, it sounded like gunshots. It was a car. Obviously

1:22:28.280 --> 1:22:31.479
<v Speaker 9>some girls in here saw and then they quickly all

1:22:31.560 --> 1:22:35.120
<v Speaker 9>the managers would be a gates down straight away.

1:22:35.360 --> 1:22:38.080
<v Speaker 2>That is Tanya A called to my colleague Jackie Felgate

1:22:38.600 --> 1:22:41.160
<v Speaker 2>on three rw She is in the kmart at the moment. Now.

1:22:41.200 --> 1:22:44.759
<v Speaker 2>The latest information we have is the Northland Shopping Center,

1:22:44.800 --> 1:22:48.040
<v Speaker 2>which is in Preston's in northeast of Melbourne at the

1:22:48.080 --> 1:22:52.960
<v Speaker 2>moment is in complete lockdown. We are confident the emergency

1:22:53.000 --> 1:22:55.800
<v Speaker 2>services there are on the scene right now. We're just

1:22:55.840 --> 1:22:59.680
<v Speaker 2>getting some clarification through about whether the driver of this

1:22:59.800 --> 1:23:03.559
<v Speaker 2>car has actually been arrested at this point, but there

1:23:03.600 --> 1:23:07.960
<v Speaker 2>are sixty seventy odd people inside. This came up right

1:23:08.000 --> 1:23:12.839
<v Speaker 2>at the moment and they are terrified about what has occurred.

1:23:12.880 --> 1:23:15.120
<v Speaker 2>It is not clear what the motive for this is.

1:23:16.000 --> 1:23:19.400
<v Speaker 2>It seems a little deeper than just a simple car

1:23:19.439 --> 1:23:24.639
<v Speaker 2>accident because the car has ran right through its shopping center.

1:23:25.520 --> 1:23:28.840
<v Speaker 2>Now the Herald's Son in Melbourne, their News Limited press

1:23:28.880 --> 1:23:30.960
<v Speaker 2>is now reported the car is stolen, so we now

1:23:31.000 --> 1:23:33.439
<v Speaker 2>have some more detail just coming through. This is a

1:23:33.439 --> 1:23:36.720
<v Speaker 2>stolen car. It's not clear though what the motive of

1:23:36.760 --> 1:23:39.640
<v Speaker 2>this incident is. I'll bring you some more information in

1:23:39.680 --> 1:23:42.519
<v Speaker 2>the next couple of minutes. It's sixteen past five. Some

1:23:42.640 --> 1:23:45.080
<v Speaker 2>more details now coming through from the Northland Shopping Center,

1:23:45.080 --> 1:23:47.479
<v Speaker 2>which is in Preston's in Melbourne, which has been placed

1:23:47.520 --> 1:23:50.880
<v Speaker 2>in lockdown after this vehicle has crashed straight through the

1:23:50.920 --> 1:23:54.320
<v Speaker 2>shopping center. The information I'm now receiving is it was

1:23:54.360 --> 1:23:57.679
<v Speaker 2>a tot Land Cruiser. It was a stolen toyter Land Cruiser.

1:23:58.200 --> 1:24:01.639
<v Speaker 2>Officers tried to block in the full will drive outside

1:24:01.640 --> 1:24:04.880
<v Speaker 2>the complex, but the Land Cruiser, one bloke on board,

1:24:04.880 --> 1:24:07.559
<v Speaker 2>has driven away and then gone straight through the shopping center. Now,

1:24:07.680 --> 1:24:10.400
<v Speaker 2>fortunately no one's been injured. One woman has been tread

1:24:10.479 --> 1:24:12.559
<v Speaker 2>for shock and they've had to lock down the shopping

1:24:12.560 --> 1:24:15.200
<v Speaker 2>center because the bloke is on the run. There's not

1:24:15.400 --> 1:24:18.120
<v Speaker 2>a suggestion obviously, when you hear things like this, we

1:24:18.160 --> 1:24:19.800
<v Speaker 2>do think the worst these days that there isn't the

1:24:19.800 --> 1:24:22.800
<v Speaker 2>suggestion fortunately from Victoria Police that this is in any

1:24:22.840 --> 1:24:26.280
<v Speaker 2>sort of terrorist attack. But the man who was behind

1:24:26.280 --> 1:24:28.639
<v Speaker 2>the wheel of the land cruiser is now on the run.

1:24:29.760 --> 1:24:31.880
<v Speaker 2>This is the same shopping center where less than a

1:24:31.880 --> 1:24:38.240
<v Speaker 2>month ago there was a machete incident and this was

1:24:38.360 --> 1:24:41.759
<v Speaker 2>very scary because there was a confrontation between two gangs

1:24:42.160 --> 1:24:46.519
<v Speaker 2>involving about ten people who runed with machetes and actually

1:24:46.560 --> 1:24:49.160
<v Speaker 2>had to lock down the shopping center. So if there's

1:24:49.200 --> 1:24:51.440
<v Speaker 2>a development that I'll let you know about that shortly.

1:24:52.200 --> 1:24:55.720
<v Speaker 1>Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard. If it's happening and you're

1:24:55.800 --> 1:25:00.800
<v Speaker 1>sitting you'll hear it on Sydney Now. To GB this is.

1:25:00.800 --> 1:25:02.719
<v Speaker 2>An indication that more of us are doing a tough

1:25:02.800 --> 1:25:05.719
<v Speaker 2>Research has been released today that shows more than half

1:25:05.760 --> 1:25:09.639
<v Speaker 2>of all office workers are using short term financial tools.

1:25:09.640 --> 1:25:13.200
<v Speaker 2>So what's a short term financial tool? A payday loan?

1:25:13.880 --> 1:25:17.280
<v Speaker 2>So people living from payday to payday getting into debt,

1:25:17.320 --> 1:25:22.360
<v Speaker 2>needing alone earned wage access by now pay later services,

1:25:22.400 --> 1:25:25.559
<v Speaker 2>which are very popular. This research has been commissioned by Deal.

1:25:25.640 --> 1:25:30.000
<v Speaker 2>They are a payroll management company and Sharon Shannon character

1:25:30.439 --> 1:25:32.280
<v Speaker 2>is from Deal. Hello Shannon, thank you for your time,

1:25:33.280 --> 1:25:35.120
<v Speaker 2>thank you, thank you for having me. This shows that

1:25:35.160 --> 1:25:36.840
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people are actually doing it tough if

1:25:36.840 --> 1:25:39.240
<v Speaker 2>they're effectively living from payday to payday.

1:25:40.520 --> 1:25:40.720
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

1:25:40.760 --> 1:25:44.000
<v Speaker 25>The report showed that are strains, especially younger Australians want

1:25:44.000 --> 1:25:47.960
<v Speaker 25>more flexibility and personal choice and benefits and faster access

1:25:48.439 --> 1:25:49.759
<v Speaker 25>to the wages that they have earned.

1:25:50.120 --> 1:25:52.280
<v Speaker 8>The monthly paypacket is now out of fashion.

1:25:53.160 --> 1:25:55.880
<v Speaker 2>So I've been paid fortnightly my whole career, so more

1:25:55.920 --> 1:26:00.080
<v Speaker 2>than twenty odd years, a lot of people still paid monthly, a.

1:26:00.040 --> 1:26:01.320
<v Speaker 8>Lot of people still paid monthly.

1:26:01.640 --> 1:26:05.080
<v Speaker 25>Not The research indicates that more over a third of

1:26:05.120 --> 1:26:07.360
<v Speaker 25>those employees want to be paid sooner than their full

1:26:07.479 --> 1:26:10.479
<v Speaker 25>nightly or monthly cycle, and that flexibility is becoming more

1:26:10.520 --> 1:26:11.719
<v Speaker 25>important to those workers.

1:26:11.920 --> 1:26:14.080
<v Speaker 2>Now, your research has shown that a lot of people

1:26:14.080 --> 1:26:17.840
<v Speaker 2>are seeking cash advances on credit cards, they're seeking short

1:26:17.920 --> 1:26:20.840
<v Speaker 2>term loans, They're seeking the early deposit of their wages

1:26:20.880 --> 1:26:23.200
<v Speaker 2>from their from their bosses. Why are they doing that?

1:26:24.200 --> 1:26:29.320
<v Speaker 25>I think customization is boosting employee satisfaction or attention, but

1:26:29.360 --> 1:26:33.240
<v Speaker 25>there is also some serious financial vulnerability amongst employees and

1:26:33.240 --> 1:26:37.280
<v Speaker 25>arising demands for higher wages and financial stability and diversified

1:26:37.320 --> 1:26:38.120
<v Speaker 25>income streams.

1:26:39.479 --> 1:26:42.160
<v Speaker 2>Is it from an employer's point of view? Are they

1:26:42.240 --> 1:26:44.639
<v Speaker 2>when their employees come to them and say, look, we'd

1:26:44.760 --> 1:26:46.559
<v Speaker 2>like to get basic in an advance on our on

1:26:46.640 --> 1:26:49.240
<v Speaker 2>our wages. Are they showing more flexibility with that? Are

1:26:49.240 --> 1:26:50.040
<v Speaker 2>they able to do that?

1:26:51.200 --> 1:26:51.280
<v Speaker 6>So?

1:26:51.640 --> 1:26:56.080
<v Speaker 25>Some employees are many many organizations are exploring concepts like

1:26:56.200 --> 1:26:59.519
<v Speaker 25>earn wage access, being able to access your money as.

1:26:59.360 --> 1:27:03.160
<v Speaker 8>You earn it as an option to attract and retain talent.

1:27:03.680 --> 1:27:06.000
<v Speaker 2>Another indication of the research that you've released showing that

1:27:06.160 --> 1:27:07.720
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people are doing it tough is the

1:27:07.800 --> 1:27:10.280
<v Speaker 2>number of side hustles or second jobs that people have

1:27:10.400 --> 1:27:10.960
<v Speaker 2>is increasing.

1:27:11.800 --> 1:27:15.200
<v Speaker 25>Yeah, we're seeing the cost of living crisis is reshaping

1:27:15.240 --> 1:27:17.559
<v Speaker 25>the austram of force and it is pushing more workers

1:27:17.560 --> 1:27:22.240
<v Speaker 25>to take on sarite hustles while many are using financial services, etc.

1:27:23.000 --> 1:27:24.480
<v Speaker 8>Roughly fifty six percent.

1:27:24.200 --> 1:27:27.120
<v Speaker 25>Of austrains right now plan to take on or have

1:27:27.200 --> 1:27:30.479
<v Speaker 25>taken on site hustles to augment their salaries.

1:27:30.560 --> 1:27:32.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeap, certainly shows a lot of people doing it tough.

1:27:32.200 --> 1:27:36.040
<v Speaker 2>Thank you Shanli, Thank you Shannon Kaka. Who's some deal.

1:27:36.160 --> 1:27:38.160
<v Speaker 2>And that's interesting. A lot of people have got to

1:27:38.160 --> 1:27:40.840
<v Speaker 2>take a lot of second job basically to get by that.

1:27:41.040 --> 1:27:43.760
<v Speaker 2>They're living from paypacket to paypacket. They're having to use

1:27:44.040 --> 1:27:46.599
<v Speaker 2>by now pay later, which is schems like after play

1:27:46.720 --> 1:27:48.680
<v Speaker 2>very popular these days. But they're having to go and

1:27:48.760 --> 1:27:51.120

<v Speaker 14>plunged into lockdown. A stolen white suv has careered at

1:31:17.760 --> 1:31:21.479
<v Speaker 14>the speed through the Northland Mall, sending shoppers running for

1:31:21.520 --> 1:31:26.000
<v Speaker 14>cover and screaming. Acting Police Commissioner Peter Thurtel says his

<v Speaker 14>three men in custody in Bali, accused of shooting two

1:31:43.240 --> 1:31:46.719
<v Speaker 14>men at a luxury villa. An Australian man was killed

<v Speaker 14>in the attack, and there's been a seven hundred percent

1:32:19.600 --> 1:32:21.040
<v Speaker 2>So if you want to hear deb night, you're going

1:32:21.080 --> 1:32:23.080
<v Speaker 2>to need to download our podcasts, which I know many

1:32:23.120 --> 1:32:24.799
<v Speaker 2>of you do. Nightly, Hello dev.

1:32:24.640 --> 1:32:25.519
<v Speaker 21>Hello to you Clinton.

1:32:25.560 --> 1:32:27.840
<v Speaker 27>All that talk of the cold temperatures, I have not

1:32:27.880 --> 1:32:29.240
<v Speaker 27>been able to get warm today.

1:32:29.280 --> 1:32:31.080
<v Speaker 13>Not once I was.

1:32:31.080 --> 1:32:33.679
<v Speaker 2>Walking through Darling Harbor, would have been about ten o'clock

1:32:33.760 --> 1:32:36.599
<v Speaker 2>this morning, went for a walk. The weather was stunning

1:32:36.680 --> 1:32:39.080
<v Speaker 2>this morning. The blue sky is beautiful because the pick

1:32:39.080 --> 1:32:41.160
<v Speaker 2>of the Blues win tonight. But I actually found the

1:32:41.200 --> 1:32:43.519
<v Speaker 2>temperature wasn't too bad. Maybe it's with Darling Harbor because

1:32:43.520 --> 1:32:45.160
<v Speaker 2>you've got that enclosed space you.

1:32:45.120 --> 1:32:46.719
<v Speaker 21>Can find some shelter from the wind.

1:32:46.880 --> 1:32:49.919
<v Speaker 27>You're laughing at a nice sunny spot, but anything shady

1:32:50.040 --> 1:32:51.920
<v Speaker 27>and anything with a bit of a bruise, it's just

1:32:52.040 --> 1:32:52.599
<v Speaker 27>really cold.

1:32:53.160 --> 1:32:54.160
<v Speaker 2>How did the market's fed today?

1:32:54.200 --> 1:32:56.599
<v Speaker 27>The markets are a little bit uncertain today. It's all

1:32:56.640 --> 1:32:59.080
<v Speaker 27>that uncertainty about what's happening in the Middle East with

1:32:59.120 --> 1:33:03.040
<v Speaker 27>Iran and with Israel. That's really playing on the markets.

1:33:03.120 --> 1:33:06.040
<v Speaker 27>And we did see some ups and downs. But in

1:33:06.080 --> 1:33:08.479
<v Speaker 27>the end, the ASEX two hundred finish lower down point

1:33:08.479 --> 1:33:11.120
<v Speaker 27>one percent, ten points lower to eighty five hundred and

1:33:11.120 --> 1:33:13.559
<v Speaker 27>thirty one. Tech stocks are a bit higher, but offset

1:33:13.560 --> 1:33:17.360
<v Speaker 27>by big losses in materials and the dollar, the currency.

1:33:17.479 --> 1:33:19.439
<v Speaker 27>It's come back a bit from yesterday as well. It's

1:33:19.439 --> 1:33:21.759
<v Speaker 27>currently buying sixty five point one against the greenback.

1:33:21.920 --> 1:33:24.320
<v Speaker 2>We won't hear your program live on TWOGB tonight. You'll

1:33:24.360 --> 1:33:26.680
<v Speaker 2>be across our other network stations because we're broadcasting the

1:33:26.680 --> 1:33:29.320
<v Speaker 2>state of origin. We can download the podcast though, but

1:33:29.360 --> 1:33:32.280
<v Speaker 2>you are going to look at what's called footy nomics, Yes.

1:33:32.160 --> 1:33:35.040
<v Speaker 27>The economics of sport, which I'll be speaking to Professor

1:33:35.040 --> 1:33:37.599
<v Speaker 27>Tim Harcourt, who's a well regarded economist.

1:33:37.680 --> 1:33:38.360
<v Speaker 21>He's got a new.

1:33:38.280 --> 1:33:41.439
<v Speaker 27>TV series in fact, looking at how much money is

1:33:41.560 --> 1:33:45.280
<v Speaker 27>driven into the economy through not just fans of sport,

1:33:45.360 --> 1:33:48.479
<v Speaker 27>but the fact that you travel for big rounds like

1:33:48.520 --> 1:33:51.519
<v Speaker 27>the gather Around in the AFL and with the State

1:33:51.560 --> 1:33:53.720
<v Speaker 27>of Origin happening in Perth, a lot of fans go

1:33:53.880 --> 1:33:57.200
<v Speaker 27>to cities to watch games and it's generating a lot

1:33:57.200 --> 1:34:00.479
<v Speaker 27>of dollars. So it's also soft diplomacy. The p ANDNG

1:34:00.800 --> 1:34:03.320
<v Speaker 27>new team for the NRL is all about trying to

1:34:03.760 --> 1:34:05.320
<v Speaker 27>beat the rise of China.

1:34:05.160 --> 1:34:06.160
<v Speaker 21>In the region.

1:34:06.280 --> 1:34:08.280
<v Speaker 27>So yeah, it's just an interesting look that it's not

1:34:08.320 --> 1:34:10.640
<v Speaker 27>just about the game, but there's a lot more to it.

1:34:10.680 --> 1:34:13.240
<v Speaker 27>The dollars and cents that are spent bring a lot

1:34:13.280 --> 1:34:14.360
<v Speaker 27>of money to the economy.

1:34:14.360 --> 1:34:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Sure do You're also going to talk about skin influences.

1:34:18.400 --> 1:34:21.040
<v Speaker 27>Yes, skinfluences, Well, this is it Like the rise of

1:34:21.080 --> 1:34:24.120
<v Speaker 27>influencers has meant that there's a whole new market in

1:34:24.160 --> 1:34:27.760
<v Speaker 27>the beauty sector, the beauty and cosmetic sector. And these

1:34:27.760 --> 1:34:31.559
<v Speaker 27>are usually kids who are under ten and my young

1:34:31.680 --> 1:34:35.040
<v Speaker 27>daughter who's nine, she loves skin products beauty products as well,

1:34:35.080 --> 1:34:39.080
<v Speaker 27>and it's all being driven by people watching on YouTube,

1:34:39.200 --> 1:34:43.200
<v Speaker 27>others applying makeup, applying skin care and it's a massive,

1:34:43.680 --> 1:34:47.280
<v Speaker 27>growing booming industry, and a lot of people are buying

1:34:47.439 --> 1:34:51.200
<v Speaker 27>beauty products, not necessarily for themselves. It's probably better for

1:34:51.400 --> 1:34:53.760
<v Speaker 27>older skins, but you've got more and more kids doing it.

1:34:53.840 --> 1:34:56.840
<v Speaker 27>So yeah, just some startling information which I'll share on

1:34:57.040 --> 1:35:02.080
<v Speaker 27>how much a ten year old skinfluencer who does YouTube tutorials,

1:35:02.400 --> 1:35:05.400
<v Speaker 27>how much she has in products, and how much she's

1:35:05.439 --> 1:35:07.160
<v Speaker 27>wanting and encouraging others to buy.

1:35:07.240 --> 1:35:08.240
<v Speaker 21>It's quite terrifying.

1:35:08.680 --> 1:35:12.760
<v Speaker 2>What's the shop in the city, Mecca, Meccha, Flora, all

1:35:12.920 --> 1:35:15.160
<v Speaker 2>across this stuff. But I know my fourteen year old

1:35:15.479 --> 1:35:17.639
<v Speaker 2>she wanted Mecca vouchers last Christmas.

1:35:18.040 --> 1:35:21.320
<v Speaker 27>Normally it's the Barbie Doll, but now it's the Mecca vouchers.

1:35:21.360 --> 1:35:23.360
<v Speaker 27>That's the under the Christmas tree wish list.

1:35:23.560 --> 1:35:26.639
<v Speaker 2>Deb. We can download your podcast tonight. You certainly can

1:35:26.800 --> 1:35:29.760
<v Speaker 2>Debnight with Money News. Make sure we listen to the podcast.

1:35:29.800 --> 1:35:30.880
<v Speaker 1>On Sydney now.

1:35:31.080 --> 1:35:34.920
<v Speaker 5>A weather update will be here to help in unexpected weather.

1:35:35.240 --> 1:35:37.639
<v Speaker 1>NRIM insurance, a health company.

1:35:37.760 --> 1:35:41.080
<v Speaker 2>Okay, it should remain dry in Sydney dece evening. Maybe

1:35:41.160 --> 1:35:44.080
<v Speaker 2>not the state of origin. Two. We'll checking with MG

1:35:44.160 --> 1:35:46.240
<v Speaker 2>in a moment about the weather conditions in Perth's been

1:35:46.280 --> 1:35:49.200
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of rain about Perth today right now

1:35:49.200 --> 1:35:51.720
<v Speaker 2>in the city twelve degrees, nine degrees in the western suburbs.

1:35:51.800 --> 1:35:55.719
<v Speaker 2>Right tomorrow mostly sunny eighteen degrees, little cloudy and frosty

1:35:55.720 --> 1:35:57.680
<v Speaker 2>in the morning, but it should be sunny by the afternoon.

1:35:58.360 --> 1:36:01.559
<v Speaker 2>Friday should be a sunny day seventeen degrees, the cloud

1:36:01.600 --> 1:36:05.519
<v Speaker 2>clearing on Saturday, with eighteen partly cloudy on Sunday, sunny

1:36:05.640 --> 1:36:10.000
<v Speaker 2>by Monday of next week. Where is Sydney that's sick,

1:36:10.080 --> 1:36:14.559
<v Speaker 2>we flat, Sulma Fiji that's sick, que flat.

1:36:15.120 --> 1:36:18.600
<v Speaker 1>Where is Balaville that's flat.

1:36:19.280 --> 1:36:24.880
<v Speaker 2>Queens So the question is where is Perth? I reckon

1:36:24.880 --> 1:36:27.320
<v Speaker 2>The Queenslanders are going to claim Perth tonight. Our own

1:36:27.400 --> 1:36:29.880
<v Speaker 2>Mark Guyra is in Perth for the Continuous Call team.

1:36:29.880 --> 1:36:31.439
<v Speaker 2>Hello MG, Hello Clinton.

1:36:31.439 --> 1:36:33.120
<v Speaker 19>They can try and claim it, mate, but I don't

1:36:33.120 --> 1:36:34.920
<v Speaker 19>think it's going to work because I can see a

1:36:34.960 --> 1:36:37.840
<v Speaker 19>lot more blue at the ground now that we've arrived

1:36:37.840 --> 1:36:40.720
<v Speaker 19>at Opta Stadium than I can see Maron out the

1:36:40.720 --> 1:36:45.400
<v Speaker 19>front of this fantastic stadium that honestly, it looks like

1:36:45.760 --> 1:36:47.600
<v Speaker 19>a little bit like Noah's Ark from the outside, but

1:36:47.640 --> 1:36:50.360
<v Speaker 19>once you come into the to the building proper up

1:36:50.439 --> 1:36:54.240
<v Speaker 19>it is majestic or the I'm in the corporate boxes

1:36:54.280 --> 1:36:58.560
<v Speaker 19>now will be broadcasting from tonight and there's plenty of room.

1:36:59.000 --> 1:37:02.400
<v Speaker 19>It's fantastic accommodating and the crowd are starting the trickling

1:37:02.520 --> 1:37:05.760
<v Speaker 19>as we speak. Is it's bizarre because there's only three

1:37:06.040 --> 1:37:08.200
<v Speaker 19>thirty seven here at the moment, so it's kind of

1:37:08.200 --> 1:37:09.400
<v Speaker 19>the calm before the storm.

1:37:09.439 --> 1:37:09.599
<v Speaker 6>Now.

1:37:09.760 --> 1:37:12.120
<v Speaker 2>I know they have played Origin at that ground previously,

1:37:12.320 --> 1:37:15.240
<v Speaker 2>but as from where you're sitting at the moment, the

1:37:15.280 --> 1:37:18.320
<v Speaker 2>fact it's an oval rather than a rectangle, is that

1:37:18.360 --> 1:37:20.439
<v Speaker 2>going to affect the game? Do you think? Well, I've

1:37:20.439 --> 1:37:21.080
<v Speaker 2>been here before.

1:37:21.280 --> 1:37:24.600
<v Speaker 19>I was here in twenty nineteen as a commentator and

1:37:24.640 --> 1:37:27.800
<v Speaker 19>I was here in twenty twenty two as just a spectator.

1:37:28.000 --> 1:37:31.519
<v Speaker 19>And the buzz once these guys run out tonight is

1:37:31.840 --> 1:37:36.240
<v Speaker 19>un bloody believable because it is an AFL field, but

1:37:36.280 --> 1:37:38.400
<v Speaker 19>it's all in closed. Usually you know, if you go

1:37:38.439 --> 1:37:40.439
<v Speaker 19>to the MCG, it's you know, you're a lot further

1:37:40.479 --> 1:37:44.000
<v Speaker 19>back from the action than we are here tonight. It's

1:37:44.040 --> 1:37:46.880
<v Speaker 19>bizarre how it's the configuration of the field is because

1:37:46.920 --> 1:37:48.799
<v Speaker 19>we're really closed. It's kind of like being at paramount

1:37:48.800 --> 1:37:51.880
<v Speaker 19>of stadium. It's that close to the action. But the

1:37:51.960 --> 1:37:54.920
<v Speaker 19>ground is this all the seats are up really high

1:37:54.960 --> 1:37:57.880
<v Speaker 19>and close to the ground. So this you know, at

1:37:58.160 --> 1:38:01.599
<v Speaker 19>eight o'clock tonight, this roof, if it had a refinement stable.

1:38:01.680 --> 1:38:05.040
<v Speaker 19>We lifted up a bit of a weather updatein It's

1:38:05.040 --> 1:38:07.200
<v Speaker 19>at about thirty mils of rain Clinton in the last

1:38:07.200 --> 1:38:09.920
<v Speaker 19>twenty four hours here. Who that helps, I don't know.

1:38:10.360 --> 1:38:11.639
<v Speaker 2>We'll soon see.

1:38:11.479 --> 1:38:15.040
<v Speaker 19>But there is expected rain tonight as well, off and on,

1:38:15.680 --> 1:38:18.360
<v Speaker 19>but not too much. The drizzle is going to stick around,

1:38:18.479 --> 1:38:21.160
<v Speaker 19>but they reckon up to maybe another five meal before

1:38:21.240 --> 1:38:24.040
<v Speaker 19>kickoff and then maybe another five million of rain.

1:38:23.920 --> 1:38:24.800
<v Speaker 1>Once the game is on.

1:38:25.080 --> 1:38:27.080
<v Speaker 2>The focus of the past twenty four hours has been

1:38:27.120 --> 1:38:30.639
<v Speaker 2>on Billy Slater and what he said yesterday. Today he's

1:38:30.720 --> 1:38:33.559
<v Speaker 2>issued an apology. Now this is in response to what

1:38:33.880 --> 1:38:36.280
<v Speaker 2>Aaron Woods said, calling Billy Slater a grub, and then

1:38:36.439 --> 1:38:40.479
<v Speaker 2>Billy responded by unfortunately bringing Paul Green, the late Paul Green,

1:38:40.560 --> 1:38:43.799
<v Speaker 2>into the discussion. This is what Billy Slater has said today.

1:38:44.200 --> 1:38:48.639
<v Speaker 28>Yesterday, I wrongly made the link between Paul Green's death

1:38:48.960 --> 1:38:53.719
<v Speaker 28>and the stress and the pressures of coaching, which wasn't

1:38:53.720 --> 1:38:56.360
<v Speaker 28>accurate nor was it appropriate.

1:38:57.720 --> 1:38:59.960
<v Speaker 2>I feel terrible about what.

1:38:59.880 --> 1:39:04.160
<v Speaker 28>I said, and I spoke to Amanda Green this morning

1:39:04.680 --> 1:39:06.240
<v Speaker 28>and apologized for any.

1:39:06.120 --> 1:39:08.160
<v Speaker 13>Hurt that it may have caused her.

1:39:08.200 --> 1:39:08.920
<v Speaker 2>And her family.

1:39:11.040 --> 1:39:16.559
<v Speaker 28>I just want to say this, Paul had CTE. That's

1:39:16.600 --> 1:39:18.639
<v Speaker 28>a different disease to to.

1:39:18.640 --> 1:39:19.800
<v Speaker 2>What I was referring to.

1:39:22.240 --> 1:39:25.799
<v Speaker 28>Once again, I'm deeply and genuinely sorry.

1:39:26.360 --> 1:39:27.599
<v Speaker 2>MG. Billy Slater there.

1:39:28.479 --> 1:39:30.880
<v Speaker 19>You know what, Clinton, It's been bizarre. It's been it's

1:39:31.280 --> 1:39:34.160
<v Speaker 19>it's left the kind of a nikky taste in my

1:39:34.200 --> 1:39:35.040
<v Speaker 19>mouth this whole week.

1:39:35.080 --> 1:39:36.680
<v Speaker 2>It's been very spiteful.

1:39:37.960 --> 1:39:39.200
<v Speaker 19>A lot of people say, oh, it's good for the

1:39:39.240 --> 1:39:40.599
<v Speaker 19>game and we're talking about it, but I don't think

1:39:40.600 --> 1:39:43.000
<v Speaker 19>it is. I think I think it's it's kind of

1:39:43.040 --> 1:39:44.920
<v Speaker 19>gone to the next level in this week. You know.

1:39:45.080 --> 1:39:49.840
<v Speaker 19>Obviously Woodsy the timeline Wouldsie said that Billy was a grub.

1:39:50.080 --> 1:39:53.280
<v Speaker 19>Billy responds, and unfortunately he uses poor Green. I actually

1:39:53.280 --> 1:39:57.200
<v Speaker 19>thought that Billy must have already spoken to Paul Green's wife,

1:39:57.479 --> 1:39:59.680
<v Speaker 19>because the way that he went on, I thought he

1:39:59.720 --> 1:40:01.960
<v Speaker 19>must have said something too. Of course, I hope she

1:40:01.960 --> 1:40:05.080
<v Speaker 19>doesn't find out this way. Woods You then responds and

1:40:05.120 --> 1:40:08.360
<v Speaker 19>then Billy apologizes. I mean, that's it's been a bit

1:40:08.400 --> 1:40:11.200
<v Speaker 19>dicky to be honest, I found it not in the

1:40:11.240 --> 1:40:13.560
<v Speaker 19>spirit of the game, the way that this is unfolded.

1:40:13.560 --> 1:40:15.479
<v Speaker 19>It's not pumping every anyone up.

1:40:15.720 --> 1:40:15.880
<v Speaker 28>Well.

1:40:15.920 --> 1:40:19.880
<v Speaker 19>I think both both Woodsy and Billy would probably reflect

1:40:19.920 --> 1:40:21.439
<v Speaker 19>on this week and go, you know what, maybe we

1:40:21.439 --> 1:40:23.599
<v Speaker 19>could have handled it a little bit better if given

1:40:23.600 --> 1:40:27.160
<v Speaker 19>that opportunity. But it's done now. All we've got now

1:40:27.240 --> 1:40:30.479
<v Speaker 19>is the game. And once the game is done and dusted,

1:40:30.560 --> 1:40:32.960
<v Speaker 19>Clinton only one of these guys will be able to

1:40:33.240 --> 1:40:36.000
<v Speaker 19>put a smile on their dial because it's it's South

1:40:36.040 --> 1:40:38.479
<v Speaker 19>Wales win, the series is ours and if coinsland when

1:40:38.520 --> 1:40:40.840
<v Speaker 19>we go back to Sydney for the this sider.

1:40:40.800 --> 1:40:44.479
<v Speaker 2>Kick off eighth five our time, six oh five perth time.

1:40:44.840 --> 1:40:47.080
<v Speaker 2>If you were to nominate a couple of dangerous players,

1:40:47.280 --> 1:40:47.880
<v Speaker 2>who would they be?

1:40:48.880 --> 1:40:51.599
<v Speaker 19>As a News Earth Welshman, I'm very worried about Cameron

1:40:51.720 --> 1:40:54.559
<v Speaker 19>Munster being named captain. I'm very worried about their foward

1:40:54.640 --> 1:40:57.720
<v Speaker 19>pack underperforming in the first game, because you just know

1:40:57.800 --> 1:41:00.200
<v Speaker 19>they're going to come back this game. Jerome Lowe, the

1:41:00.240 --> 1:41:02.120
<v Speaker 19>new South Wales I want to keep my eye on him.

1:41:02.120 --> 1:41:04.360
<v Speaker 19>I think he's in for a big night. I even

1:41:04.360 --> 1:41:05.760
<v Speaker 19>think he might get mad of the match tonight on

1:41:05.840 --> 1:41:08.120
<v Speaker 19>the back of him being recalled when he thought that

1:41:08.200 --> 1:41:10.960
<v Speaker 19>maybe his origin career was over. So Jerome for the

1:41:11.240 --> 1:41:12.600
<v Speaker 19>man of the Match tonight, and I think it's going

1:41:12.680 --> 1:41:15.120
<v Speaker 19>to be one of them clashes. Maybe we mightn't see

1:41:15.720 --> 1:41:19.040
<v Speaker 19>over forty points. It might be like eighteen sixteen, eighteen fourteen,

1:41:19.080 --> 1:41:21.640
<v Speaker 19>But I think New South Wales will prevail Clinton and

1:41:21.640 --> 1:41:25.320
<v Speaker 19>they'll bring the shield, will contain, retain the shield and

1:41:25.640 --> 1:41:27.880
<v Speaker 19>bring the dead rubber back to a Corse stadium in

1:41:27.920 --> 1:41:28.599
<v Speaker 19>a couple of weeks time.

1:41:28.680 --> 1:41:30.400
<v Speaker 2>Now, MG, you know I'm a bit quirky when it

1:41:30.400 --> 1:41:33.439
<v Speaker 2>comes to my football. Okay, looksucky kind of guy. A

1:41:33.479 --> 1:41:36.439
<v Speaker 2>couple of years ago, the Blues played there and they

1:41:36.439 --> 1:41:38.880
<v Speaker 2>wore Navy jerseys and I thought it was an outrage

1:41:39.120 --> 1:41:42.200
<v Speaker 2>because the Blues should be sky blue. They were wearing navy,

1:41:42.200 --> 1:41:45.800
<v Speaker 2>which you associate with Victoria. Now I've just seen a

1:41:45.800 --> 1:41:48.519
<v Speaker 2>shot of Jowie John's part of the Channel nine preparation

1:41:48.720 --> 1:41:50.960
<v Speaker 2>right now as we speak, he's holding up Jowey is

1:41:51.000 --> 1:41:53.760
<v Speaker 2>holding up eight sky blue jersey. So it appeared to

1:41:53.760 --> 1:41:55.759
<v Speaker 2>me the Blues will be wearing the proper jersey tonight.

1:41:56.080 --> 1:41:58.840
<v Speaker 19>Hallelujah. How loo a you I think it's the right thing.

1:41:59.000 --> 1:42:01.760
<v Speaker 19>I'm with you, Clinton, with you one hundred percent. When

1:42:01.760 --> 1:42:03.360
<v Speaker 19>I think of New South Wales Origin, I think of

1:42:03.400 --> 1:42:05.000
<v Speaker 19>the sky blue, not the Navy blue.

1:42:05.200 --> 1:42:06.360
<v Speaker 3>And I think.

1:42:06.320 --> 1:42:09.000
<v Speaker 19>It's more Victoria than we are and tonight, Yet Joey

1:42:09.040 --> 1:42:10.880
<v Speaker 19>Johns is in the middle of up to stadium right

1:42:10.880 --> 1:42:13.479
<v Speaker 19>now with that jersey, so he must be telling the

1:42:13.560 --> 1:42:15.880
<v Speaker 19>Channel nine audience that this is the jersey in the

1:42:15.920 --> 1:42:17.679
<v Speaker 19>New South Wales Blues will be playing in tonight.

1:42:17.960 --> 1:42:20.280
<v Speaker 2>I am wearing. I am wearing. I'll just put a

1:42:20.280 --> 1:42:22.240
<v Speaker 2>plump it on my head. I am wearing a Navy

1:42:22.280 --> 1:42:24.800
<v Speaker 2>blue official New South Wales State of Origin retro cap

1:42:24.880 --> 1:42:26.920
<v Speaker 2>that mind you. Hey, just one last one for MG.

1:42:27.080 --> 1:42:28.719
<v Speaker 2>We were talking a little bit earler in the program

1:42:28.720 --> 1:42:32.880
<v Speaker 2>about where future Origin matches should be played. Whether we

1:42:32.960 --> 1:42:36.160
<v Speaker 2>go to New Zealand Hobar when the stadium's finally built there.

1:42:36.200 --> 1:42:38.120
<v Speaker 2>Where would you like to see Origin played in the future.

1:42:38.479 --> 1:42:43.200
<v Speaker 19>Look the way that rugby league is skyrocketing in New Zealand. Look,

1:42:43.240 --> 1:42:46.000
<v Speaker 19>I think that the twentieth team will eventually be on

1:42:46.040 --> 1:42:48.479
<v Speaker 19>the South Island and New Zealand, and I think one day,

1:42:48.680 --> 1:42:51.280
<v Speaker 19>give it fifteen twenty years, we're going to see them

1:42:51.320 --> 1:42:53.799
<v Speaker 19>to the North and the South Island have a similar

1:42:54.320 --> 1:42:58.120
<v Speaker 19>concept introduced to their country, which we like a state

1:42:58.120 --> 1:43:00.560
<v Speaker 19>of origin will be the North Island stayed on the

1:43:00.600 --> 1:43:02.280
<v Speaker 19>South Island. So I'd love to take one to Eden

1:43:02.360 --> 1:43:06.160
<v Speaker 19>Park or somewhere somewhere in New Zealand which could accommodate

1:43:06.200 --> 1:43:08.880
<v Speaker 19>the origin. I reckon would go through the roof. But

1:43:09.040 --> 1:43:11.920
<v Speaker 19>the poor Kiwee's, thank god, this is a bit different

1:43:11.920 --> 1:43:15.519
<v Speaker 19>because the game starts two hours earlier over here, so

1:43:15.800 --> 1:43:17.759
<v Speaker 19>they'll get it in a decent time. But most origins,

1:43:18.680 --> 1:43:20.880
<v Speaker 19>the poor Kiwe's are not getting it until ten pm

1:43:20.880 --> 1:43:23.840
<v Speaker 19>at night, so let's give them a game. I think

1:43:23.840 --> 1:43:25.880
<v Speaker 19>it'd be fantastic to see a game in New Zealand.

1:43:26.120 --> 1:43:27.560
<v Speaker 2>Agreed. Good on you, MG. We're going to hear you

1:43:27.560 --> 1:43:29.639
<v Speaker 2>on the Continuous Call Team led by Levy tonight from

1:43:29.680 --> 1:43:30.280
<v Speaker 2>seven o'clock.

<v Speaker 2>three day Well, it's not a talk fest. He's not

1:44:48.760 --> 1:44:51.200
<v Speaker 2>calling it a talk fest. He's calling a productivity summit.

1:44:51.240 --> 1:44:53.240
<v Speaker 2>Wouldn't be very productive if it was just about talking.

1:44:53.560 --> 1:44:54.960
<v Speaker 2>But it'll be held in August and there will be

1:44:55.000 --> 1:44:57.160

<v Speaker 2>he may open the door for tax cuts if tax

1:45:11.400 --> 1:45:19.800
<v Speaker 2>cut is recommended in the summit, it could be a possibility. Well,

1:45:19.800 --> 1:45:24.280
<v Speaker 2>it's Sunday's birthday. It appears we've only just discovered that Liam,

1:45:24.320 --> 1:45:27.080

1:45:32.680 --> 1:45:33.040
<v Speaker 2>the show.

1:45:33.160 --> 1:45:48.519
<v Speaker 29>You're an absolute lenchend and happy birthday to Liam.

1:45:49.040 --> 1:45:52.280
<v Speaker 2>He reckons he's twenty five. No, he's not a day

1:45:52.320 --> 1:45:53.160
<v Speaker 2>over eighteen hour.

1:45:53.200 --> 1:45:57.080
<v Speaker 5>Liam be a part of Sydney Now with Clinton. Maynard

1:45:57.320 --> 1:45:59.719
<v Speaker 5>called one three one eight seven three.

1:46:00.080 --> 1:46:02.200
<v Speaker 2>An ad to doing Tonight as part of the State

1:46:02.240 --> 1:46:05.000
<v Speaker 2>of Origin coverage and you add for Kia, and they've

1:46:05.040 --> 1:46:08.040
<v Speaker 2>invited all the celebrities as part of the advertisement, lots

1:46:08.040 --> 1:46:11.200
<v Speaker 2>of sports stars, including Jeff Tuvy and Jeff t V.

1:46:11.360 --> 1:46:13.880
<v Speaker 2>In the ad. Is going to play a plumber and

1:46:13.880 --> 1:46:15.120
<v Speaker 2>he is going to what are these words?

1:46:15.240 --> 1:46:18.240
<v Speaker 1>There's got to be an investigation into this. Someone's going

1:46:18.240 --> 1:46:19.519
<v Speaker 1>to be accountable for this.

1:46:19.880 --> 1:46:21.840
<v Speaker 2>Seriously, he's going to use those words as a plumber.

1:46:21.840 --> 1:46:24.080
<v Speaker 2>But what I don't understand is Jeff Tuv is not

1:46:24.160 --> 1:46:27.800
<v Speaker 2>just a highly regarded football critic and former coach the

1:46:27.800 --> 1:46:31.280
<v Speaker 2>manly sequels. Jeff tu V is a very well regarded accountant.

1:46:31.320 --> 1:46:32.839
<v Speaker 2>Now I don't think he does a lot of it anymore.

1:46:32.840 --> 1:46:34.920
<v Speaker 2>He is used to conducting financial investigations.

1:46:34.960 --> 1:46:37.880
<v Speaker 1>There's got to be an investigation into this. Someone's going

1:46:37.960 --> 1:46:39.200
<v Speaker 1>to be accountable for this.

1:46:40.160 --> 1:46:42.759
<v Speaker 2>He is an accountant, I assure you. So they didn't

1:46:42.800 --> 1:46:45.679
<v Speaker 2>need to pretend that Tubbs was a plumber. He could

1:46:45.720 --> 1:46:47.400
<v Speaker 2>have just played the role of it as an accountant.

1:46:48.320 --> 1:46:50.240
<v Speaker 1>Time to expose your minds.

1:46:50.800 --> 1:46:52.640

<v Speaker 1>Get a Clinton Yew.

1:50:01.520 --> 1:50:03.960
<v Speaker 2>I've been left behind with you.

1:50:04.960 --> 1:50:05.360
<v Speaker 9>I didn't.

1:50:05.680 --> 1:50:07.800
<v Speaker 30>I didn't trust myself to head out with MG checking

1:50:07.840 --> 1:50:09.680
<v Speaker 30>out the night spots of Perth. So I'm just going

1:50:09.720 --> 1:50:11.280
<v Speaker 30>to stay here and hold the fort, have a barbecue

1:50:11.320 --> 1:50:14.040
<v Speaker 30>at home. MG will be car hosting from up to stadium.

1:50:14.240 --> 1:50:17.320
<v Speaker 30>Peter Hlandy's boss of the Auroral Commission, You'll be dropping

1:50:17.320 --> 1:50:18.200
<v Speaker 30>in for a chat as well.

1:50:18.280 --> 1:50:20.639
<v Speaker 2>Oh good stuff. Where do you think future Origin games?

1:50:20.640 --> 1:50:22.960
<v Speaker 2>And I know it's now tradition to play one into

1:50:23.000 --> 1:50:25.240
<v Speaker 2>state or at a neutral venue. Do you think we could

1:50:25.240 --> 1:50:26.559
<v Speaker 2>take it overseas well?

1:50:26.600 --> 1:50:28.680
<v Speaker 30>I think the early place would be Auckland. I think

1:50:28.720 --> 1:50:30.519
<v Speaker 30>it should stay in the heartlands, mate, that's where state

1:50:30.560 --> 1:50:32.680
<v Speaker 30>of origin belongs. I don't mind it going occasionally in

1:50:32.680 --> 1:50:35.160
<v Speaker 30>the state, but Auckland for me would be the end

1:50:35.160 --> 1:50:36.760
<v Speaker 30>of it. But then there's a time zone issue there,

1:50:36.800 --> 1:50:38.400
<v Speaker 30>so I think I think that's about it.

1:50:38.479 --> 1:50:40.280
<v Speaker 2>Darren's actually made just that point in the text line

1:50:40.280 --> 1:50:41.800
<v Speaker 2>because you'd end up having if it was going to

1:50:41.840 --> 1:50:43.280
<v Speaker 2>be played at the same time. Here it's a ten

1:50:43.320 --> 1:50:46.080
<v Speaker 2>p ten o'clock. It's just not gonna work. We actually

1:50:46.080 --> 1:50:48.040
<v Speaker 2>have to play it on Sunday. I reckon it might

1:50:48.080 --> 1:50:49.200
<v Speaker 2>be have to be a outdake.

1:50:50.160 --> 1:50:52.400
<v Speaker 30>So many questions, mate, but let's just embrace Perth for

1:50:52.439 --> 1:50:55.439
<v Speaker 30>the time being. Around sixty thousand there. It's been a

1:50:55.439 --> 1:50:57.080
<v Speaker 30>bit of a wet day, but hopefully it's going to

1:50:57.080 --> 1:50:59.479
<v Speaker 30>be a hot game. And Danika Mason also will drop

1:50:59.520 --> 1:51:01.479
<v Speaker 30>in for a chat from nine to preview the big game.

1:51:01.760 --> 1:51:04.360
<v Speaker 30>You tip Blues always Blues Blues by ten.

1:51:04.680 --> 1:51:06.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, look, I think that the Blues should be too good.
