Speaker 1: Onto GV. This is sitting now with Clinton.
Speaker 2: May Friday, June sixth. It is Clinton mayite here one
Speaker 2: three one eight seven three. The weekend is just about
Speaker 2: here and not any old weekend. It's the long weekend.
Speaker 2: It's the King's birthday long weekend. Now I should clarify
Speaker 2: you know this that Charles isn't celebrating his birthday on Monday.
Speaker 2: He was born on the fourteenth November nineteen forty eight,
Speaker 2: but our tradition dictates the holiday is this Monday, as
Speaker 2: it was with his mother, the Queen. I wonder if
Speaker 2: the Republicans are going to take the day off. Are
Speaker 2: you going to have the day off on Monday? I
Speaker 2: reckon they will coming up on the program. The end
Speaker 2: of financial year sales are on right now, and we
Speaker 2: as a combined community are going to spend a huge
Speaker 2: amount of money other bargains real We're going to find
Speaker 2: out what is useful is buying things before the end
Speaker 2: of June. Before you put your text return in so
Speaker 2: you can claim a deduction. We'll check in with the
Speaker 2: oyster farmer that I I paid a visit to a
Speaker 2: few weeks ago on the outskirts of Tarre during the floods.
Speaker 2: We shouldn't forget about those who've lost so much on
Speaker 2: the mid North coast in the hunter of Valley, and
Speaker 2: I want to find out how he's doing. But where
Speaker 2: the local people are actually benefiting yet from the money
Speaker 2: we as taxpayers are contributing through grants with the government
Speaker 2: assistant that's available, it's not that easy to actually apply
Speaker 2: for the money. Plus we've got the chance to win
Speaker 2: some pillows in word on the street today and Mark
Speaker 2: Geyer is back with us with his forty tips. We
Speaker 2: are both off to an awful start and the tipping
Speaker 2: this weekend. Yes, we both tip manly last night and
Speaker 2: of course Newcastle won in Golden Point extra time. You
Speaker 2: are my eyes and ears when it's happening in Sydney now.
Speaker 2: You can send me a text message zero four zero
Speaker 2: eight seven three eight seven three have you say one
Speaker 2: three one eight seven.
Speaker 3: Three Well in Sydney now police are making an urgent
Speaker 3: plea for drivers.
Speaker 2: To take more care on the roads. We are just
Speaker 2: into the first day of the four day long week
Speaker 2: police operation on the roads. It's a three day long
Speaker 2: weekend but the operation began at midnight. Already there are
Speaker 2: three fatalities now. One of those was the result of
Speaker 2: a hit and run Mcquarie Avenue in Penrith late yesterday afternoon.
Speaker 2: A pedestrian, a woman aged in her forties, was struck
Speaker 2: by a vehicle. The driver did not stop and police
Speaker 2: are yet to locate the driver or the car they
Speaker 2: were actually behind the wheel of. Police are looking for
Speaker 2: an orange colored duel cab mute. Now, if you're around
Speaker 2: Mcquarie Avenue and Lemongrove Road, Penrith five thirty yesterday afternoon,
Speaker 2: you might have seen something. If you've got any dash cam.
Speaker 2: Police find that very handy now in their investigations. Even
Speaker 2: if you didn't see it, perhaps something was picked up
Speaker 2: on a dash cam, you can call crime Stoppers. One
Speaker 2: eight hundred triple three, triple zero. I've just had a
Speaker 2: look at the image that the police have now released
Speaker 2: of this duel cab ute. It's quite blurry. It's actually
Speaker 2: hard for me to figure out the exact type of ute.
Speaker 2: To me, it looks like a late model duel cab
Speaker 2: high Lux. It's possible it's another late model you but
Speaker 2: if you know anything about this one one eight hundred
Speaker 2: triple three, triple zero, forty year old woman in her
Speaker 2: forties has died because the driver did not stop to assist.
Speaker 2: Now there's been two other fatal accidents as well, a
Speaker 2: sixteen year old boy and a twenty year old man.
Speaker 2: Twenty year old man lost his life in a single
Speaker 2: vehicle crash in the state's south. It was crashing. A
Speaker 2: vehicle crashed inward Tree near wagger was between Waggert and Albury.
Speaker 2: The driver was the only occupant of that particular vehicle.
Speaker 2: And then last night sixteen year old boy was killed
Speaker 2: in the southwest of Sydney the intersection of the Hume
Speaker 2: Highway and Worth Street in Greenacre. Now this was an
Speaker 2: accident involving a truck and a hatchback. The sixteen year
Speaker 2: old boy was one of the passengers in the cart.
Speaker 2: He died at the scene. A second passenger also a boy.
Speaker 2: He was the Children's hospital at Westmeat. As we were
Speaker 2: reporting throughout the program yesterday, double demerit points are in force.
Speaker 2: I did speak with the Assistant Commissioner, David Driver about
Speaker 2: the operation and I did ask him whether demerit points
Speaker 2: is to look effective double demerit points. I just wonder
Speaker 2: whether perhaps the impact of double demerits is worn off
Speaker 2: because We've used that tactic as a police force for
Speaker 2: so long. I'm not saying they should get rid of them,
Speaker 2: but I think it's certainly time for some more creative
Speaker 2: thinking when we're looking at how to reduce the road
Speaker 2: to You want.
Speaker 1: To know what's happening in Sydney, Stay tune to Sydney
Speaker 1: out with Clinton, lay on to gimb.
Speaker 2: You might well be heading down to the snow this weekend,
Speaker 2: and certainly take care if you are, because our major
Speaker 2: ski resorts in New South Wales are opening up. But
Speaker 2: he is opening weekend for the ski season and great timing.
Speaker 2: It's the long weekend, so let's find out what's on
Speaker 2: off for. Andrew King is the parish resorts service director
Speaker 2: and joins us on the program. Thank you for joining us, Andrew.
Speaker 4: Greats pleading here, Clinton, and I hope all is going
Speaker 4: well in Sydney. Standing in front valley and it's cold.
Speaker 2: Well what it has been in Sydney this week? Andrew,
Speaker 2: it's been pretty chilly by our standards, but I suspect
Speaker 2: nowhere near as cold as is where you are. What's
Speaker 2: it been like in the last couple of days.
Speaker 4: No, it's been We actually had a bit of a
Speaker 4: warm night about six degrees here last night, but previous
Speaker 4: to that we've had some great negative temperatures. Our snowmaking
Speaker 4: team has done a great job Mother and Acure hasn't
Speaker 4: come to the party yet, but we're expecting snow over
Speaker 4: the weekend. But we've been able to set ourselves up
Speaker 4: to be able to run some lifts tomorrow.
Speaker 2: So it hasn't snowed all this week as in natural snow.
Speaker 4: We've got about two or five centimeters, but most of
Speaker 4: that's gone outside of our snowmaking areas.
Speaker 2: Okay, so when you're relying on snowmaking, does that mean
Speaker 2: that And I'm not a skier, Andrew, but does it
Speaker 2: does it mean people can ski or they can use
Speaker 2: a snowboard?
Speaker 4: Yep? Absolutely. So we've been lucky enough this week with
Speaker 4: the temperatures that we were able to run snowmaking for
Speaker 4: about thirty seven hours straight from Tuesday to Wednesday and
Speaker 4: into Thursday, and last night we were able to run
Speaker 4: it as well, so we've been able to put snow
Speaker 4: on the ground just on our front valley area. We've
Speaker 4: had snow groomers out here this morning preparing the surface
Speaker 4: and we're going to have terrain available for our guests
Speaker 4: over the weekend.
Speaker 2: What are you bookings this weekend? A lot of people
Speaker 2: coming down.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we usually have a decent crowd come down whether
Speaker 4: there's snow or no snow. But I believe this week
Speaker 4: bookings have been strong with the weather. With us opening,
Speaker 4: we haven't been able to open for the last two years.
Speaker 4: And just speaking to somebody on the Monaro Highway on
Speaker 4: the way down previously, they said there's a stream of
Speaker 4: traffic heading down. So we're looking forward to welcoming a
Speaker 4: lot of guests.
Speaker 2: And with these the longer term weather forecast for the winter,
Speaker 2: do you have an indication if it's going to be
Speaker 2: a good winter for scheme.
Speaker 4: I think this storm is going to be a defining moment.
Speaker 4: I think over the weekend we look at tho where
Speaker 4: we're getting to get upwards at fifty centimeters, always hard
Speaker 4: to tell. We're just a dot on the map, and
Speaker 4: you know, a couple of big storms can change everything.
Speaker 4: So the Bureau predicted a bit of a warmer start
Speaker 4: to winter, but a colder and wetter ends. So we're
Speaker 4: always hopeful. We can't predict what the weather's going to do,
Speaker 4: but we do what we can to open as much
Speaker 4: as terrain as possible.
Speaker 2: Just lastly, Andrew, if you don't get too much now
Speaker 2: this weekend, what is one thing you'd recommend doing in Parisha.
Speaker 4: There's a lot to do. Actually this weekend we've got
Speaker 4: our Peak Music Festival on, so we've got a lot
Speaker 4: of bands across various venues in the valley and a
Speaker 4: lot of kids' activities. We've got faith painting and popcorn
Speaker 4: and all types of things happening in the parish of center.
Speaker 4: So people come up if they want to have it
Speaker 4: to Bolg and there's a snowplay area to go to.
Speaker 4: I think just being in the mountains is pretty special,
Speaker 4: so hopefully people just enjoy that as well.
Speaker 2: Hopefully it's a good season on a good weekend. Thank
Speaker 2: you Andrew, great, Thank you, Quintain Andrew King, who's the
Speaker 2: resort services director at Perisher.
Speaker 5: All the weather outside has played home, but the fire
Speaker 5: is so delayedful.
Speaker 4: And since we've not pleased to go, let it snow,
Speaker 4: let it SnO let its okay.
Speaker 2: It's a bit of a Christmas song, but you can
Speaker 2: have Christmas in July. Christmas in July is a pretty
Speaker 2: big deal these days. So if it doesn't snow, you
Speaker 2: can enjoy the fireprice, enjoy some Christmas cheer. One three
Speaker 2: one eight seven three quarter past three. The Prime Minister
Speaker 2: is moving to reassure farmers they won't be at biosecurity
Speaker 2: risk if more US beef is allowed into the country.
Speaker 2: American beef is partially banned from our market, has been
Speaker 2: since two thousand and three because of the outbreak of
Speaker 2: mad cow disease. We're announcing the tariffs. A couple of
Speaker 2: months ago, Donald Trump singled out the beef market as
Speaker 2: one of the key reasons and the US for US
Speaker 2: is our biggest market. It is used in six million
Speaker 2: hamburgers a year or is it a day.
Speaker 1: It's a huge.
Speaker 2: Amount of hamburgers. And you know Donald Trump loves a
Speaker 2: big mac, so an increase in our tariffs actually affects him.
Speaker 2: So it's in his interest to actually negotiate a deal
Speaker 2: with US. But that deals likely to be dropping the
Speaker 2: barriers for more American beef coming into our country. Well,
Speaker 2: the Prime Minister has spoken about this today. He's told
Speaker 2: the ABC we will not be put at risk.
Speaker 6: We will not change or compromise any of the issues
Speaker 6: regarding biosecurity, full stop, exclamation mark. It's simply not worth it.
Speaker 2: But that doesn't mean there won't be a change to
Speaker 2: the policy here. So that's under negotiation at the moment.
Speaker 2: We'll talk with the beef industry a little later in
Speaker 2: the program.
Speaker 1: No, what's happening in Sydney, Stay tuned to Sydney Out
Speaker 1: with Clinton. Lay on to gimb.
Speaker 2: Should you be entitled to boo your own football team?
Speaker 2: You're a sporting team. Last night you might have been
Speaker 2: watching the football the Knights and the Seagulls in the
Speaker 2: NRL halftime. The Knights were down sixteen milk. They were terrible,
Speaker 2: they were legitimately awful. Well, the fans booed the players
Speaker 2: as they walked from the field at half time into
Speaker 2: the dressing rooms, and I was a little surprised I
Speaker 2: was watching it. I was a little surprised because, yes,
Speaker 2: the Knights were bad, but Newcastle fans are so loyal.
Speaker 2: They get big crowds to their stadium week after week,
Speaker 2: even when the Knights are at the bottom of the table.
Speaker 2: There was a remarkable comeback in the second half. The
Speaker 2: Knights won in Golden Point with a freakish try to
Speaker 2: Calen Ponger. Anyway, the coach, Adam O'Brien reacted after the game.
Speaker 2: This is what Adam Bright had to say straight after
Speaker 2: the match.
Speaker 7: It's disappointing. It's really disappointing to people to even I
Speaker 7: know the scorelines not what they want, but to boo
Speaker 7: the effort that went into that first half from a
Speaker 7: really young team. The people that bood don't know anything
Speaker 7: about rugby league. They're probably the ones that cheered at
Speaker 7: the end. Two That disappoints me.
Speaker 5: That they do that.
Speaker 2: Good antim I say, I don't think personally it's right
Speaker 2: to be your own football team seventy three You might
Speaker 2: completely disagree with me. You pay your ticket to end
Speaker 2: of the ground, you buy your merchandise, so you do
Speaker 2: contribute financially. So does that give you the right to boot.
Speaker 2: It's up to you. Personally. I would never boom my
Speaker 2: football team. I just couldn't do it, even when they're
Speaker 2: playing terribly. And let me assure you, I've been to
Speaker 2: plenty of terrible Sharks games over the years. But this afternoon,
Speaker 2: Adam O'Brien and this blows me away. Adam O'Brien has
Speaker 2: now apologized.
Speaker 7: I apologize unreservedly to our members and fans that I offended,
Speaker 7: and I can understand why they would be offended.
Speaker 5: I was.
Speaker 7: I'll be apologizing to the playing group as well for
Speaker 7: my comments, because you know, they deserve to be reading
Speaker 7: a lot of other stuff today that I took away
Speaker 7: from it.
Speaker 2: So he said sorry to the fans if he's offended them,
Speaker 2: the guy. I don't think Adam Brian needed to say
Speaker 2: sorry genuinely. I reckon he was well within his rights
Speaker 2: to say that he was disappointed. And the reason he's
Speaker 2: saying sorry is he said that they don't and understand
Speaker 2: rugby league, and yeah, he was emotional at the time,
Speaker 2: even with his dead pan style. I don't think you
Speaker 2: needed to say sorry. But do you reckon? Should you
Speaker 2: be booing your fans when they played terribly given you
Speaker 2: pay your money to get in the gate? I don't
Speaker 2: think it's right personally. What's your view? Let me know.
Speaker 2: You can send me a text message zero force X
Speaker 2: zero eight seven three eight seven three our number one
Speaker 2: three one eight seven three. This is Sydney now sixteen
Speaker 2: degrees in the city. It's thirteen degrees in Campbelltown at
Speaker 2: the moment. Chris Dawson, wife killer, has today lost to
Speaker 2: court bid to overturn his conviction for sexually abusing a
Speaker 2: student in the nineteen eighties. The Court a Criminal Appeal
Speaker 2: today has dismissed his appeal. It was a majority though
Speaker 2: it was two votes to one decision of the bench.
Speaker 2: Dawson was convicted, of course, in twenty twenty three of
Speaker 2: one count of carnal knowledge of his student who was
Speaker 2: under seventeen at the time. That was a judge alone trial,
Speaker 2: so there was no jury in the district court. He's
Speaker 2: already in prison. He was already in prison convicted, of
Speaker 2: course the twenty twenty two murder of his wife Lynette
Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty two. A year was added to his
Speaker 2: non parole period in twenty twenty three regarding this second offense,
Speaker 2: this second charge. His appeal today has been unsuccessful.
Speaker 1: Sydney now with Clinton Maynard. If it's happening in your city,
Speaker 1: you'll hear it on Sydney Now.
Speaker 2: To GB I'll come to all your calls in the
Speaker 2: moment on dooing of your own football team. But just
Speaker 2: on the issues of double demerit points, are they still effective?
Speaker 2: What do you think?
Speaker 8: Keith I reckon what they should do is if they
Speaker 8: catch a driver that's not on peace, suspend his license
Speaker 8: for thirty days.
Speaker 9: That'll slow up.
Speaker 2: So what automatically if a driver's caught spreeding, they lose
Speaker 2: their license for a month.
Speaker 8: See for a month, that's it.
Speaker 5: Even if they got plenty of points, bad luck you
Speaker 5: get caught double debrett point weekend to spend them.
Speaker 2: And so it had just occur on a weekend like
Speaker 2: this during a special police operation.
Speaker 5: Well just on weekend and said double debett.
Speaker 2: Look, a lot of people think that'd be pretty harsh Keith.
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you what it would scare a lot
Speaker 2: of us. I reckon, I reckon we'd all be damned
Speaker 2: careful on a weekend like that if it was an
Speaker 2: automatic license suspension. Thank you, Keith. One three one eight
Speaker 2: seven three. If you've got a view on what Keith believes,
Speaker 2: should you be doing your own football team? Well, Darryl
Speaker 2: says Adam O'Brien, the coach of the Newcastle Knight, should
Speaker 2: be thinking the Newcastle supporters because obviously it was a
Speaker 2: rocket that got their team to improve in the second half. Well,
Speaker 2: look they came back and went in golden point, they
Speaker 2: were quite remarkable in that second half. Frank, what do
Speaker 2: you think, Frank.
Speaker 5: Mate?
Speaker 9: Okay, Clinton, I think it's bad.
Speaker 5: I don't think anyone should be boing their own team.
Speaker 2: Do you think maybe that, Darrell is a point that
Speaker 2: it might have motivated the team the second half?
Speaker 5: The booing? No, I mean, can you imagine if you
Speaker 5: got boot at work for making a mistake?
Speaker 9: Is that going to make you work harder?
Speaker 5: Or is that going to make you lose your headspace?
Speaker 2: No? No, probably not not be probably booed every day
Speaker 2: of the week around here the way I go sometimes
Speaker 2: off air. Hey, thanks Frank, Kyle, Hello Kyle.
Speaker 10: Get a Clinton. Love your work, brother, But I have
Speaker 10: to disagree with you on.
Speaker 2: This Sun That's okay, go for it, im I.
Speaker 10: From my understanding, I was at the very first Newcastle
Speaker 10: Knights game in nineteen eighty eight. I've been a supporter
Speaker 10: ever since, and from my understanding, they were of them
Speaker 10: booing with the harshest when Adam O'Brien's faces on the
Speaker 10: screen at the ground.
Speaker 2: Ah, so they don't like the coach.
Speaker 10: They're actually buoying him. He's been given a lot of opportunities.
Speaker 10: He's been there a long time and when he comes out,
Speaker 10: particularly after the match and says, these people obviously don't
Speaker 10: know anything about rugby league to Newcastle, like he said
Speaker 10: that in his postmatch interview, and to say that to
Speaker 10: the fans of Newcastle, who are one of the most
Speaker 10: parochial knowledgeable crowds in the country on rugby league. Yeah,
Speaker 10: I don't know what this guy.
Speaker 11: I mean.
Speaker 10: We've just found out today that we've lost Kyle Pearspaul
Speaker 10: to the Tigers for next season. We lost Dom Young
Speaker 10: to the Roosters. We've got it coming in, Edwards Brown
Speaker 10: coming in on thirty million dollars.
Speaker 2: For ten years. Good luck, yeah, good luck with that car. Look,
Speaker 2: that's a new perspective on it. If you reckon it
Speaker 2: was the fans booing the coach itself, well that would
Speaker 2: explain why the coach reacted the way he did after
Speaker 2: the game. Aaron's in Penrith. Look, you probably don't poo
Speaker 2: the Panthers too much, or maybe you do this year
Speaker 2: after their form. What do you reckon?
Speaker 1: Eron?
Speaker 12: I reckon it motivated the Newcastle team to play a
Speaker 12: much better game.
Speaker 2: I reckon so the fan did him a favor.
Speaker 13: I think they did what do you Reckon?
Speaker 2: Would have happened? If they didn't boo, do you reckon?
Speaker 2: Newcastle would have won.
Speaker 13: It's it would have been interesting if they didn't boot
Speaker 13: to actually see that a would have been really interesting.
Speaker 2: Well, it might have been. It might have been two
Speaker 2: points to the fans rather than nights. Take good on
Speaker 2: your Aaron, if you'd like to have your say on
Speaker 2: this semi text message zero force zero eight seven three
Speaker 2: eight seven three. One of the world's greatest soccer players
Speaker 2: is going to be knighted by the King. We'll find
Speaker 2: out who with Peter Ford. This news just breaking courtesy
Speaker 2: of James Adawt in the Daily Telegraph. The new South
Speaker 2: Wales Police Commisioner Karen Webb is effectively finishing up in
Speaker 2: the role today. James is reporting that she is handing
Speaker 2: over to her deputy, Peter Thurtell, who will be the
Speaker 2: acting police Commissioner from today. Officially she doesn't resign till
Speaker 2: the thirtieth September, but today's her last day working as
Speaker 2: the police Commissioner. She's expected to take a period of
Speaker 2: leave before her resignation takes effect, and she had indicated
Speaker 2: when she resigned, and of course the resignation was going
Speaker 2: to come later in the year, the announcement, but it
Speaker 2: broke a little early. She had indicated to the Premier
Speaker 2: Chris means that mister Thurtell should be her replacement at
Speaker 2: least in an interim period before a full time replacement
Speaker 2: is announced, and then be a significant like a change
Speaker 2: over period of a couple of months. But based on
Speaker 2: what the Telegraph is now reporting. And we're just speaking
Speaker 2: with the police now offair. Today formally is her last day.
Speaker 2: Let's check out news headlines and we got the latest
Speaker 2: Good after in the remark Good Afternoon, Clinton.
Speaker 14: Three people have already been killed on the state's roads
Speaker 14: this weekend, including a hit and Rum police say they
Speaker 14: are close to catching that driver. Lobby groups are urging
Speaker 14: the federal government not to loosen any biosecurity measures in
Speaker 14: a bit to secure an exemption from US tariffs. The
Speaker 14: operator of the jumping castle involved in the deaths of
Speaker 14: six children at a Tasmanian primary school has been found
Speaker 14: not guilty, and mothers who've given birth in the last
Speaker 14: two years have been encouraged to complete an online survey
Speaker 14: about their birthing experience, with researchers looking into a possible
Speaker 14: link between psychological trauma during birth and adult relationship styles.
Speaker 14: In sport, the search is on for a new coach
Speaker 14: of the Kangaroo's rugby League team. Malmonninga is stepping down
Speaker 14: from the role after signing a three year deal to
Speaker 14: coach the new Perth Bears team. And there'll be more
Speaker 14: news at four o'clock.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Arin. Sixteen degrees in the coast of the moment,
Speaker 2: it is thirteen degrees in Campbelltown. We had that suggestion
Speaker 2: from one of our listeners that rather than double the
Speaker 2: error points, perhaps is a shock tactic over long weekends,
Speaker 2: police could issue one month's suspensions for speeding drivers. I
Speaker 2: don't think anyone's actually going to accept that, but it's
Speaker 2: an option. I think we were change out tactics. Jason
Speaker 2: on the text line says, look, before we do that,
Speaker 2: can we reconcile our speed limits. We're the only country
Speaker 2: that has limits of twenty thirty, forty, fifty, sixty and
Speaker 2: one hundred and ten kilometers an hour and sometimes in
Speaker 2: the stretch of two kilometers. I agree Jason that we
Speaker 2: need an audit of speeds around the country. There's some
Speaker 2: sections of roads maybe more than two kilometers, but you
Speaker 2: drive along section, you'll go through three or four different
Speaker 2: speed zones, particularly during school zones, and it can be
Speaker 2: very confusing for a lot of drivers.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard on two
Speaker 1: GB Cool Now one three, one eight seventy three.
Speaker 2: Alan says it is absolutely fair to boo my team.
Speaker 2: As a lifelong supporter, I've ridden the highs and far
Speaker 2: too many lows. Coaches come and go, players get traded,
Speaker 2: but we stay through decades of heartbreak, false hope. We've
Speaker 2: earned the right to voice our frustration. It is not disloyalty.
Speaker 2: It is passion built on generational suffering. South spend by
Speaker 2: the way, Alan, I certainly appreciate generational suffering as a shark,
Speaker 2: I've been through at do worry. Mix says booing your
Speaker 2: own team is ridiculous. You're a supporter, You're supposed to
Speaker 2: be a supporter. Doing them can then cause more stress.
Speaker 2: Coaches are there for motivation. It's twenty five to four.
Speaker 2: Well what about this, Sir David and Lady Beckham. David
Speaker 2: Beckham one of the biggest soccer names in the world.
Speaker 2: Still this body, retired many years ago, is going to
Speaker 2: be knighted, good afternoon, Peter Ford.
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's kind of overdue, really. A lot of people
Speaker 13: have wondered why it's taken so long. He does have
Speaker 13: an obe, he got that in two thousand and three,
Speaker 13: but everybody just kind of felt he should have been
Speaker 13: elevated to the next level. But there was a problem
Speaker 13: with this ongoing tax evasion scandal that he was caught
Speaker 13: up in and was felt to be inappropriate to give
Speaker 13: it to him whilst that was still going on. So
Speaker 13: that took several years, and I think there was some
Speaker 13: talk he was going to get it last year, but
Speaker 13: he didn't, and he won a lot of people's hearts.
Speaker 13: I think when the late Queen Elizabeth was laying in
Speaker 13: state and he waited with the public for thirteen hours
Speaker 13: for his chance to go and pass her by. And
Speaker 13: you know, obviously I'm sure there would have been opportunities
Speaker 13: for him to skip the line had he chosen to.
Speaker 13: But it is going to be announced in the next
Speaker 13: forty eight hours. The Sun newspaper in London have gone
Speaker 13: with it. I don't know whether they've broken protocol or not.
Speaker 13: I mean, these names are usually available in the week
Speaker 13: or so before the official announcement for the media as
Speaker 13: indeed here in Australia with the King's Honors are being
Speaker 13: announced in a couple of days time. The names are
Speaker 13: widely available. There's one name I might add in the
Speaker 13: list for locally that's going to get up people upset
Speaker 13: and angry. And I'm sure you'll be talking about that
Speaker 13: on Monday. But good luck to sir Lady and Sir
Speaker 13: David and Lady Beckham.
Speaker 2: So that means that the former Spice Girl Posh Spice
Speaker 2: becomes Lady Beckham. So she's Lady Beckham.
Speaker 13: I reckon the tabloids will go with Lady Posh. That
Speaker 13: might be more.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that might work headline week now they I don't
Speaker 2: follow their family all that closely, but I did see
Speaker 2: a headline today they are estranged with their son and
Speaker 2: his wife.
Speaker 13: Yeah, with their son who's married to Nicola Pels, and
Speaker 13: nobody quite knows what it's about. But this will be
Speaker 13: the next story because obviously the other kids will in
Speaker 13: some form or fashion, presumably on social media, offer their
Speaker 13: thoughts and their congratulations to their dad. And if Brooklyn
Speaker 13: doesn't do it, then obviously that's just going to emphasize
Speaker 13: there's a major.
Speaker 2: Problem on there will be in historic TV first on
Speaker 2: Sunday Morning.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I wanted to make mention of this because it
Speaker 13: is a first and who knows if it will ever
Speaker 13: happen again. So it's completely free, but you've got to
Speaker 13: be able to access CNN. That's the only catch. It's
Speaker 13: not a pay per view situation. But what they're going
Speaker 13: to do for the very first time ever, there's going
Speaker 13: to be a live telecast of a Broadway show.
Speaker 12: Now.
Speaker 13: In the past, other Broadway shows have been filmed or
Speaker 13: taped and then made available either in a pay per
Speaker 13: view or by DBD or whatever. But this is live now.
Speaker 13: The show is good Night and Good Luck. It's the
Speaker 13: show that stars George Plooney. He co wrote it. He
Speaker 13: did the movie of Course originally about twenty years ago
Speaker 13: and now was adapted for the Broadway stage. It's been
Speaker 13: the most expensive ticket ever in the history of Broadway.
Speaker 13: It's actually finishing this weekend and George Clooney is nominated
Speaker 13: for a Tony Award, the big acting award in New York.
Speaker 13: But of course, being live to air, what that means is,
Speaker 13: you know, obviously anything that goes wrong will be going
Speaker 13: to air, so you know, that's tough enough when you've
Speaker 13: got a theater of fifteen hundred people, but when you
Speaker 13: know you're going to have millions of people right around
Speaker 13: the world watching, that's even more precious. So if you
Speaker 13: want to be a part of it, watch it. It's
Speaker 13: seven am Sunday morning on CNN.
Speaker 2: And he's still reasonably popular in the United States. Obviously,
Speaker 2: he's quite political, and he was very much in the
Speaker 2: Biden camp prior to the last election and advised Joe
Speaker 2: Biden that he should stand down. And Donald Trump had
Speaker 2: some choice words about George Is that lost him support?
Speaker 13: Well, there's no doubt he is one of the very
Speaker 13: influential figures of Hollywood because he's a director, of producer
Speaker 13: and an actor. But certainly the climate in the America
Speaker 13: these days is very divisive. If you want to stand
Speaker 13: up and be counted on either side of politics, you
Speaker 13: are going to lose some favor along the way, and
Speaker 13: I think he probably has. But look, the show on
Speaker 13: Broadways completely sold out with ridiculous ticket prices, So yeah,
Speaker 13: there's enough people who still want to see him.
Speaker 2: He's doing all right. Thanks Pete, We talk next week.
Speaker 13: Thanks Clinton.
Speaker 2: Peter Ford, our entertainment correspondent.
Speaker 1: Be a part of Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard Call
Speaker 1: one three one eight seven three.
Speaker 2: Ben Forden broke the story this morning that Ian Thorpe
Speaker 2: has been robbed of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: Now we're still seeking the full details of what's occurred here,
Speaker 2: but police confirmed to Bend this morning that a forty
Speaker 2: two year old man, that forty two year old man,
Speaker 2: it's our understanding was Ian Thorpe attended Paddington Police station
Speaker 2: and this was yesterday to report an alleged theft. Ben
Speaker 2: reported that his manager wasn't initially aware of what had
Speaker 2: happened to Thorpy, but Thoughpe then later went on to
Speaker 2: tell him that he went to the police to talk
Speaker 2: about an insurance job. So it's still unclear exactly what
Speaker 2: has happened to Ian Thorpe, other than the fact that
Speaker 2: we know that he has in some way lost one
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty thousand dollars due to a theft. Seven
Speaker 2: three is our number. A lot of messages here about
Speaker 2: speed limits. I think there needs to be an audit,
Speaker 2: a review of how speed limits are operating. Now that's
Speaker 2: not to say they should be increased or lowered, but
Speaker 2: the variation I can't quite understand in some stretches of roads,
Speaker 2: and the Pacific Highway through the north of Sydney's one
Speaker 2: area that I get frustrated with, probably because there's a
Speaker 2: lot of schools through the Pacific Highway, so the variation
Speaker 2: in the speed's quitematic. Chris says they've just changed probably
Speaker 2: a four hundred meters section of windsor Row mcgrass Hill
Speaker 2: to sixty and that's stupid. Charles says speed zones the
Speaker 2: government's way of milking for more revenue. No change will
Speaker 2: ever happen. Elizabeth says we have a process of demerit points,
Speaker 2: which is sufficient school zones near schools. Overhead bridges are
Speaker 2: simply revenue raising when there is an overhead bridge. Long
Speaker 2: weekends serves soon merge into long long weekends, and speed
Speaker 2: limits fluctuate too often. It's a quarter. The four end
Speaker 2: of financial year sales are here now. Some research has
Speaker 2: been released today that shows Australians are expected to spend
Speaker 2: ten and a half billion dollars in these sales that
Speaker 2: are now on now. That's an increase of four percent
Speaker 2: from last year. Clothing, household appliances, technology are going to
Speaker 2: be the popular categories and it's interesting because we're facing
Speaker 2: a cost of living crisis. Still, economic activity, based on
Speaker 2: the GDP figures released this week is not flash so
Speaker 2: a lot ofs are doing it tough, but we're going
Speaker 2: to spend more this year than last year. The research
Speaker 2: has been released from the Australian Retailers SCIATION. Flur Brown
Speaker 2: is the chief industry officer at the ARA and joins us.
Speaker 2: Good afternoon, flir High Clinton, Why do you think there's
Speaker 2: going to be a rise this year in the amount
Speaker 2: we're spending in the sales.
Speaker 15: Look, we are spending nudge up just a little bit
Speaker 15: this year versus last year, so I think there's a
Speaker 15: little bit more optimism in the market.
Speaker 8: We've had a couple.
Speaker 15: Of tiny interest rate cuts and you know, some of
Speaker 15: those things do add a little bit of confidence, but
Speaker 15: in the main Aussie's love a bargain, particularly in the
Speaker 15: cost of living crisis, So we do find that Australians
Speaker 15: save up some of their spending for these sales periods.
Speaker 2: So it's an indication that we have been doing it
Speaker 2: tough and we're maybe looking a little harder for good value.
Speaker 15: Yes, actually, we've definitely noticed that spike. The last couple
Speaker 15: of years, we've seen you really intense spikes around these
Speaker 15: bargain hunting periods.
Speaker 2: I've just been reading an ad for for Harvey Norman.
Speaker 2: They're a sponsor of ours, and they have a major
Speaker 2: tech sale on at the moment. I note that that
Speaker 2: tech is one of the categories that looks like there
Speaker 2: are discounts in.
Speaker 15: Yes, always so lots of people looking to they might
Speaker 15: be saving up for you know, a computer, a laptop,
Speaker 15: electronic equipment. It might be you know, a home office
Speaker 15: or actual office, or could.
Speaker 16: Just be for personal use.
Speaker 15: Of course, some of those items will be tax deductible,
Speaker 15: so good time to look out for that sort of thing.
Speaker 2: What are the categories do you think are going to
Speaker 2: prove popular this month?
Speaker 15: Well, what came up top, interestingly enough is clothing, footwear,
Speaker 15: and accessories. Thirty four percent of ology saying they were
Speaker 15: going to look at that category. And you might not
Speaker 15: expect that, but you know, that's some indication that people
Speaker 15: are spending, they're saving, They're spending on a typical category
Speaker 15: like that for a sales period, less surprising. You know,
Speaker 15: big items like household appliances.
Speaker 17: And white goods.
Speaker 15: You know, maybe you want to sow for a new fridge.
Speaker 15: You might go, well, let's just wait for the next
Speaker 15: appropriate sales period.
Speaker 2: Is it also with clothing? Is that an item that
Speaker 2: you do get decent discounts in this time of the
Speaker 2: year or in the sales because there is a fair
Speaker 2: bit of margining clothes still.
Speaker 15: Look, I'm not going to comment on margin because I'm
Speaker 15: sure that there'll be many fashion retailers shrieking from the
Speaker 15: hills app page.
Speaker 18: Did that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got I worked at Woolers Variety back in
Speaker 2: the early nineties and I just know we sold a
Speaker 2: lot of fairly cheap clothing, but we're always told that
Speaker 2: that's probably where the profit was for us.
Speaker 15: Yeah, look, I think a lot's happened to cost of
Speaker 15: doing business for you know, many in the fashion category.
Speaker 15: But more to the point, you know, there's seasonal change over,
Speaker 15: there's the need you know, you can't hold on to
Speaker 15: clothing and accessory items for too long because you need
Speaker 15: to clear them out. So it's a great period for
Speaker 15: retailers to do that and comes at a time when
Speaker 15: Australians are kind of going, well, if I'm going to buy,
Speaker 15: you know, more.
Speaker 19: Of that type.
Speaker 15: If I'm going to refresh my woodrobe, let's do it
Speaker 15: when there's a sale on.
Speaker 2: Do you think do you think most of the discounts
Speaker 2: are legitimate or is a lot of this about the
Speaker 2: way they're marketed, the sales are marketed.
Speaker 15: I really do think though legitimate. We know that retailers
Speaker 15: are feeling the competitive pressure more than ever, so they
Speaker 15: are firstly going to do things where they you know,
Speaker 15: they're going to get customers back in you know, the
Speaker 15: conscious of the loyalty factor and their brand. But secondly
Speaker 15: they know they're competing with all these operators, including offshore operators,
Speaker 15: you know, for the same sales opportunity, particularly in a
Speaker 15: tough market.
Speaker 13: So they're going to give their best best.
Speaker 15: Shot at a decent price in this kind of you know,
Speaker 15: this kind of economy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and I can understand why people are looking
Speaker 2: for a bargaining moment. Thank you for your time, flu
Speaker 2: Thanks Clinton Flo Brown, who's the Chief Industry Affairs Officer
Speaker 2: of the Australian Retailers Association. It seems like clothing and
Speaker 2: tech the pro of the two main categories where there
Speaker 2: are some significant savings and with tech and yes, so
Speaker 2: we are sponsored by Harvey Norman, but there's lots of
Speaker 2: great retailers out there that sell tech. This is often
Speaker 2: a good time to buy because you're coming up to
Speaker 2: the end of the financial year, so you might be
Speaker 2: thinking about tax deductions that you may well be able
Speaker 2: to save. Word on the street. We bring you word
Speaker 2: on the street things to temper a great night's sleep,
Speaker 2: night after night. The difference is temper. If you see
Speaker 2: something around the city that we need to know about
Speaker 2: on the roads on a Friday afternoon, there will be
Speaker 2: a lot of people heading out of Sydney over the
Speaker 2: next couple of hours for the long weekend holidays. You
Speaker 2: can send me a text message zero four six zero
Speaker 2: eight seven three eight seven three. But if you'd also
Speaker 2: like us to investigate something that you find a little curious,
Speaker 2: you think that's maybe not quite right, send me an
Speaker 2: email over the weekend two GB dot com. I have
Speaker 2: been sending the email and I'll keep their identity anonymous
Speaker 2: at this stage, about something odd that is happening with
Speaker 2: electric buses in Sydney. Thank you for your message. I'll
Speaker 2: have a look at this one across the weekend and
Speaker 2: we'll bring you some details next week. But if what
Speaker 2: I'm being told about what's happening with electric buses, something
Speaker 2: does not add up. That's word on the street. Thanks
Speaker 2: to Temper a great night's sleep night after night. The
Speaker 2: difference is Temper six to four. Talking about speed limits,
Speaker 2: Will in the Northern Beaches has sent me a text
Speaker 2: saying studies consistently show that even small reductions in average
Speaker 2: speed can lead to significant drops and accidents and fatalities
Speaker 2: on the road. But it only works when it is
Speaker 2: well designed, that is not arbitrary, when there's can community support,
Speaker 2: and when it's enforced and clearly signposted well. I think
Speaker 2: one of the benefits of the operations that has been
Speaker 2: conducted this weekend on the roads the long weekend, we
Speaker 2: do see more police on the roads. I drove today
Speaker 2: and I saw more cops in the roads. That's good,
Speaker 2: but we've also got to think about what happens in
Speaker 2: between these periods. Reality is the police force is down
Speaker 2: two and a half thousand in its formal strength, and
Speaker 2: we don't have enough highway patrol offices on the road.
Speaker 13: Now.
Speaker 2: I've just received this information from the police. A police
Speaker 2: in the Hills district of Sydney urging young people to
Speaker 2: avoid in participating in the so called Apple pay prank.
Speaker 2: This is a prank that apparently and I hadn't heard
Speaker 2: of it before now that's circulating on TikTok and other
Speaker 2: forms of social media. The Apple pay prank. That's the
Speaker 2: sound that your iPhone, if you use an iPhone, makes
Speaker 2: when you pay. Yesterday, a seventeen year old mail approached
Speaker 2: an older man in Castle Hill and he pretended the
Speaker 2: money via Apple Pay, so he was holding his phone
Speaker 2: near the man and he was playing this sound. The
Speaker 2: prank then escalated into what the police are saying was
Speaker 2: a violent confrontation resulted in the person actually being detained
Speaker 2: by the victim by the older bloke, and the older
Speaker 2: man's dragged the seventeen year old down to Castlehill Police station.
Speaker 2: Now he's now assisting the police with the inquiry about
Speaker 2: what's going on here. This is a trend which falsely
Speaker 2: implies that money has been transferred between phones and it's
Speaker 2: it's misleading, but the police say it provided it provokes fear,
Speaker 2: confusion and aggression, particularly when targeted unsuspected members of the community.
Speaker 2: And apparently a lot of this is actually videoed as
Speaker 2: well and put up online. I had not heard about
Speaker 2: this one, so it's the Apple pay prank. May as
Speaker 2: you got teenagers, if we've got Apple phones, maybe just
Speaker 2: ask them about it. You don't want them involved in
Speaker 2: that stuff. Three police have been on the scene of
Speaker 2: what they've done covered in This is also in the
Speaker 2: Northwest an MDMA drug lab throughout the day. The police
Speaker 2: have actually still been at the scene all day long.
Speaker 2: They made some arrests in Taliwan. This is a Clandeside
Speaker 2: drug lab that have been set up in Talowan, Taloon's
Speaker 2: at the end of the metro line. Police officers sees
Speaker 2: two kilograms of MDMA as well as chemicals and equipment
Speaker 2: used to make the drug. The drugs have an estimated
Speaker 2: street value of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The
Speaker 2: police have then searched a unit in libcum So a
Speaker 2: fair distance from Tallaway, Taliwan, where three men twenty two
Speaker 2: year old, twenty nine year old and a forty year
Speaker 2: old have been arrested. They've seized mobile phones. They've seized
Speaker 2: drugs as well as ketamine. So kept the drug ketamine,
Speaker 2: with a street value of one hundred thousand dollars. Forty
Speaker 2: year old has been charged, twenty nine year old's been
Speaker 2: charged and a twenty two year old has been charged.
Speaker 2: They've all been refused police bail. Police have been on
Speaker 2: the scene today because when they find these up clandaside
Speaker 2: drug labs is obviously a danger that's involved as well,
Speaker 2: so they've been in the process of actually dismantling what
Speaker 2: they found there.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Sydney Now with Clinton onto gb cool
Speaker 1: now one three one page seven three.
Speaker 2: My guy joins me up to five point thirty on
Speaker 2: the program. We'll go through the tips for this week,
Speaker 2: but we'll also touch on the big announcement that was
Speaker 2: made by the Australianugy League Commision to day that Mao
Speaker 2: Meninger has been selected as the new coach of the
Speaker 2: Perth Bears.
Speaker 20: This new venture, new pioneer venture over to wa, opportunity
Speaker 20: to be involved in the growth of game over there,
Speaker 20: opportunity to grow a club, the Perth Bears over there
Speaker 20: was too good to refuse. So I feel very honored,
Speaker 20: very nervous. I think it's a huge responsibility, but I
Speaker 20: believe I'm up for it. Looking forward to working with
Speaker 20: Anthony and the rest of the Ragbay League community, not
Speaker 20: only in WA but also for the North Sydney Bears
Speaker 20: as well. I think that's a really important connection and
Speaker 20: bring them along on the journey as well.
Speaker 9: Well.
Speaker 2: I'm a little bit dubious about P and G coming
Speaker 2: into the competition. I think it's fantastic that Perth is
Speaker 2: going to be part of the NRL. It's a truly
Speaker 2: national competition, need Western Australia as part of it, and
Speaker 2: to use the Bear's name and to give North Sydney
Speaker 2: supporters who've done it tough for twenty odd years not
Speaker 2: having a team to support. I think it's fantastic because
Speaker 2: when they come here to Sydney, our Bear supporters can
Speaker 2: go and see their team even though they're based in Perth.
Speaker 2: And I think Maumning is a good choice. It's a
Speaker 2: long time since his coach in the NRL. Long long time,
Speaker 2: but of course he's been connected with the game with
Speaker 2: Queensland and Australia now for many years, so I reckon
Speaker 2: he'll do a really good job. Now he'll need to
Speaker 2: recruit some star players though we'll talk to MG about
Speaker 2: that after five point thirty. It appears in Australian Navy
Speaker 2: ship has caused some dramas for our cousins in New Zealand.
Speaker 2: Reports now emerging from New Zealand that an Australian Navy
Speaker 2: ship that's been visiting across the Tasman has caused internet
Speaker 2: outages and radio disruption. H M MAS Canberra, which is
Speaker 2: our largest naval vessel, made its way down the coast
Speaker 2: to Wellington, arrived in Wellington yesterday but there are reports
Speaker 2: of internet service issues radio disruptions. Apparently it's some sort
Speaker 2: of issue because of the way our navy ship itself
Speaker 2: reacts with the local communications and Wi Fi. So where
Speaker 2: to blame. Apparently becoming aware of this, HMA's Cambra changed
Speaker 2: its frequencies and there are no ongoing disruptions. News is next,
Speaker 2: there is Sidney.
Speaker 1: Now we've clinton on to.
Speaker 2: Gb it's seven past four. We have now confirmed with
Speaker 2: the Police Minister Yasmin Catley, that Commissioner Karen Webb is
Speaker 2: wrapping up today her final day on the job. Formerly
Speaker 2: she retirees on the thirtieth of September, but she's now
Speaker 2: going to take leave. Up until then, She's going to
Speaker 2: be doing some traveling and it is expected she's likely
Speaker 2: to get a government job when she finishes a short break.
Speaker 2: But we're now confirmed the deputy Commissioner, Peter Thirtil will
Speaker 2: step into the role as acting Commissioner, so effectively from tomorrow.
Speaker 2: He will be the acting Commissioner through until the end
Speaker 2: of September. Now, Peter third Till is not expected to
Speaker 2: be the new police commissioner. Our understanding is that he
Speaker 2: doesn't want that job. But Dave Hudson I think would
Speaker 2: be a very popular police commissioner. Now Dave Hudson has
Speaker 2: not been mentioned. He's been mentioned as a contender, but
Speaker 2: not one of the favorites either. If we want to
Speaker 2: send a message to the crooks in this city, I
Speaker 2: reckon Dave Hudson to be a great appointment. Now decision
Speaker 2: has not yet been made, and that'll be a decision
Speaker 2: not just made by Yasmin Catley Chrismans will be involved
Speaker 2: in making that decision. But formerly Karen Webber is now
Speaker 2: wrapping up. This is her last day on the job.
Speaker 2: She will now take leave through until September, when Peter
Speaker 2: Thurtell will act as acting Commissioner before a new commissioner
Speaker 2: is appointed until six.
Speaker 1: This is Sydney now with Clinton Maynard on two GB
Speaker 1: call now one three one.
Speaker 2: Seven three a pass four. The new South Wales government
Speaker 2: today has confirmed they will spend more money building a
Speaker 2: new hospital at Bankstown. So back in twenty nineteen under
Speaker 2: the former government, the then Health Minister and Premier announced
Speaker 2: that there would be a new hospit in Bankstown. It
Speaker 2: is going to be built on Chapel Road. It's at
Speaker 2: the current campus of Taife, so it's very close to
Speaker 2: the main drag of Bankstown. The budget was one point
Speaker 2: three billion dollars. Ryan Park and Chris Mins of today
Speaker 2: announced they will spend another seven hundred million dollars on
Speaker 2: the construction. Quite clearly, the existing funding envelope was not enough.
Speaker 21: It was not going to deliver up the scale of
Speaker 21: services and it was a problem because it had been
Speaker 21: announced four years earlier and cost escalations have risen dramatically.
Speaker 2: And that's right in the construction business. As you well
Speaker 2: know if you've done any work around your home in
Speaker 2: the last couple of years, costs of skyrocketing in the
Speaker 2: construction business. So they simply need more money. So it
Speaker 2: will now be a two billion dollar hospital in Bankstown.
Speaker 2: It will include an emergency department that we operating. Theater's
Speaker 2: intensive care, surgical and medical centers, services for women and children,
Speaker 2: including maternity. There will be mental health service as well.
Speaker 2: The big question will be once the hospital is completed,
Speaker 2: will there be enough nurses for it, because, as we've
Speaker 2: discussed a lot in the program in the last couple
Speaker 2: of weeks, we have a shortage of nurses in youu southward.
Speaker 2: And there have certainly been cases in Sydney where new
Speaker 2: hospitals and new wards have been opened. And this has
Speaker 2: been the case in Campbelltown, the new Campbelltown Hospital, and
Speaker 2: I've been there a couple of times. It's so impressive,
Speaker 2: but hopefully it's not the case of the moment, but
Speaker 2: certainly in the past there have been new wards that
Speaker 2: have been ready to go. There's been beds there, but
Speaker 2: there simply have not been enough nurses to actually staff them.
Speaker 2: It's ten past four. I went across to Tarre, about
Speaker 2: three and a half hours north of Sydney. We presented
Speaker 2: the program from Tari a couple of weeks ago during
Speaker 2: the floods, and I had the pleasure of traveling around
Speaker 2: and meeting some of the locals, including Oyster farmers Beck
Speaker 2: and Gus. They live on Mitchell Island, so it's just
Speaker 2: on the edge of Tari It's between the popular holiday
Speaker 2: spots of Crowdyhead and Old Bar and Beck and Gus
Speaker 2: lovely people. Their family home was completely wiped out, went
Speaker 2: under and I stood in the middle of their house.
Speaker 2: It's a shell. Basically, it was just the frame that
Speaker 2: was left because Gus and his mates his friends had
Speaker 2: come round and that actually ripped off much of the
Speaker 2: jip rock because you can't afford to let the jip
Speaker 2: rock go moldy and it's all wet, so all the
Speaker 2: floor coverings have been taken off, all the furniture had
Speaker 2: been removed, and I stood there thinking, my goodness, will
Speaker 2: they be able to live here again? But the problem
Speaker 2: is at the center of their business, the oyster farmers,
Speaker 2: and they've been doing it for a long time. They're
Speaker 2: not going to be a to up and move well.
Speaker 2: The federal and state governments this week they announced twenty
Speaker 2: five thousand dollars grants available for businesses with less than
Speaker 2: twenty employees and this should apply to Beck and Gus. Well,
Speaker 2: I wanted to talk to them again because we can't
Speaker 2: afford to forget about the people who've suffered so much
Speaker 2: in these floods while we move on with our lives
Speaker 2: in Sydney. Beck and Gus join us. I'll start with you, Gus.
Speaker 2: How are you doing? Mate?
Speaker 12: Yeah, I'm going all right?
Speaker 17: Thanks?
Speaker 12: How are you?
Speaker 2: We're fine down here. We're find down here because we
Speaker 2: haven't been flooded. Tell me right at the moment. Firstly,
Speaker 2: if I just start with your oyster business, how has
Speaker 2: it been affected?
Speaker 12: Yeah, so we had a lot of infrastructure stepped away,
Speaker 12: and we do have some that wasn't swept away totally,
Speaker 12: but it is in a huge mess that's going to
Speaker 12: take a long time to straighten up and get back
Speaker 12: in action the way we need it. Loose boundary markers
Speaker 12: and so forth. That you know, fisheries expect to be
Speaker 12: kept upright straight and for navigation reasons obviously, So there's.
Speaker 2: A lot to do the government of the state and
Speaker 2: federal governments today this week made an announcement about financial
Speaker 2: assistance of twenty five thousand dollars grants for businesses that
Speaker 2: employ less than twenty people. So my understanding is you
Speaker 2: would qualify for that. Have have you got that money yet?
Speaker 12: I haven't to tell you the truth.
Speaker 13: I've heard about it.
Speaker 12: I've been to meetings with other Oysterman and lives of
Speaker 12: Chris Mins and Tania Thompson and people in our electorate,
Speaker 12: trying to indicate that it's just nowhere near enough. You know,
Speaker 12: something's better than nothing, but that's just it's just nowhere
Speaker 12: near adequate. In the past, we had back in the
Speaker 12: early lot of twenty twenty one floods, et cetera. You know,
Speaker 12: there was grants of seventy five thousand, which which were good.
Speaker 12: You know, maybe a lot of people lost a lot,
Speaker 12: would have definitely lost a lot more than that. But
Speaker 12: it's hard to be critical when someone's offering you something.
Speaker 12: But twenty five thousand, it's just not going to really.
Speaker 2: What what twenty five thousand dollars do?
Speaker 12: Oh well, we got upcoming, you know, at the end
Speaker 12: of the financial year.
Speaker 5: We've got upcoming.
Speaker 12: Fisheries bills, say, food bills like you know, just ongoing.
Speaker 12: But as far as lost infrastructure and I'm trying to
Speaker 12: rebuild rebuild infrastructure for your business, it's just that's not
Speaker 12: going to go anywhere, you know, really, but hopefully, hopefully
Speaker 12: we can get a bit more happening than the twenty
Speaker 12: five thousand, But we'll see what happens.
Speaker 2: How long do you reckon send take you to rebuild
Speaker 2: the business? Guys?
Speaker 13: Ah?
Speaker 5: Years?
Speaker 2: Really, you're you're not going to give up?
Speaker 13: What that?
Speaker 2: Would you consider maybe doing something else?
Speaker 11: No?
Speaker 5: No, no, no, I'm into it.
Speaker 12: I'm still here doing it. It's just it's what we do,
Speaker 12: and it's just time and money to rebuild. You know
Speaker 12: the problem is with oystering it it takes takes like
Speaker 12: at least three years to grow an oyster ready to
Speaker 12: go to the restaurant. So we've got to keep a
Speaker 12: crop coming along each year, so you're actually growing three
Speaker 12: or four crops all at once. So you know, when
Speaker 12: you when you lose a lot of stuff, you can't
Speaker 12: just another crop and have it ready for sale in
Speaker 12: the near future. And it's going to take years.
Speaker 5: To do it.
Speaker 2: So how's that, how's that going to work between now
Speaker 2: and then? Well, literally the oysters are growing. What do
Speaker 2: you do for income?
Speaker 12: Well, you're just you know, fortunate for us we didn't
Speaker 12: lose everything. We still do have a little bit of
Speaker 12: stock coming along quite often in the past with wife
Speaker 12: and I and I'm getting a lot of other item
Speaker 12: have gone gone and worked other second jobs as well. Yeah. So, yeah,
Speaker 12: you just got to do what you've got to do
Speaker 12: to keep paying the mortgage and the bills.
Speaker 13: I suppose.
Speaker 2: Yeah, your wife becks with you right there. Do you
Speaker 2: mind passing the phone onto Beck?
Speaker 5: Surely?
Speaker 2: I just wanted to talk to to Beck about the
Speaker 2: house in particular. Hey, thanks for coming on the program.
Speaker 8: Beck, that's okay.
Speaker 2: Look, we don't want to forget what you've gone through.
Speaker 2: I stood there with with Gus in the middle of
Speaker 2: your house a couple of weeks ago, and I couldn't
Speaker 2: believe when Gus said that the plan is to go
Speaker 2: back there and to live in your house again. How
Speaker 2: are you going to do that?
Speaker 19: We just move on, That's what we do.
Speaker 2: You don't look like you've got a lot left there.
Speaker 17: We don't.
Speaker 19: But we've got a lot of help with a lot
Speaker 19: of people, and we've had some really good friends are
Speaker 19: going to donate their furniture and that tours.
Speaker 2: So where are you living at the moment?
Speaker 1: Beck?
Speaker 19: We're in an old bar in a airbnb that friends
Speaker 19: is donated to us for a few weeks.
Speaker 2: Oh fantastic.
Speaker 19: Now, well go to see Yeah, it's being glat.
Speaker 2: Your house, and Gus was telling me that, you know,
Speaker 2: you guys couldn't afford insurance for the house, So what
Speaker 2: do you do? And when I stood there, it was
Speaker 2: basically just the shell of the frames and Gusta and
Speaker 2: his mates had taken the jip rock down. So what
Speaker 2: do you do from here? With the actual house.
Speaker 19: Just where we're deciding on what we're going to put
Speaker 19: in there to try and think if it floods again,
Speaker 19: we don't, you know something, we can probably wash away
Speaker 19: not have to repull the walls off again.
Speaker 2: So you definitely want to move back into that house?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yes, there are grants available, as I mentioned
Speaker 2: to your husband, GUSA, twenty five thousand dollars for because
Speaker 2: you do qualify as a small business. Have you had
Speaker 2: a look at how you're going to be able to
Speaker 2: access that money?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 19: Look, we haven't had time to do anything at the moment.
Speaker 19: We're just trying to clean up everything and sort out stuff.
Speaker 2: I'd even imagine that even basic things like getting a
Speaker 2: computer to work or with internet connection and Wi Fi
Speaker 2: that mustn't even exist at your place.
Speaker 13: Yeah, well, we do get five coverage.
Speaker 2: It's not the best but that's something we.
Speaker 19: Just had to Yeah, well, we just had to get
Speaker 19: the electro tuition in the other when do you come
Speaker 19: Wednesday and put our redo all our power points, and
Speaker 19: then we had to get a qualified feller to actually
Speaker 19: come and certify it to make sure it was clear
Speaker 19: so we could get our power.
Speaker 16: Put fully back on.
Speaker 17: Yeah, so that all takes time.
Speaker 2: And yeah, well, so for what I've been told, the
Speaker 2: way these twenty five thousand dollar grants are going to
Speaker 2: work is that you do have the right to get
Speaker 2: five thousand dollars straight away by simply proving that you
Speaker 2: run a business with less than twenty employees. That you do,
Speaker 2: you'll get five thousand dollars straight away. Then I have
Speaker 2: heard that you can claim twenty thousand dollars, but this
Speaker 2: will be you'll need to actually show them documentations. So
Speaker 2: to be money that you need to spend on the business.
Speaker 2: You need to spend that twenty thousand dollars, showed them the
Speaker 2: receipts to get the money back. Yes, is that going
Speaker 2: to work out for you?
Speaker 19: Well, for some people it will, but others people don't
Speaker 19: have that money.
Speaker 2: So you got to have the money in the first
Speaker 2: place to spend it.
Speaker 13: Yeah, well that's right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's going to make it tricky.
Speaker 9: It does.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: When do you think you've ever able to move back
Speaker 2: into your house?
Speaker 19: Beck, Oh, I have no idea. We're still I don't know,
Speaker 19: hopefully three weeks.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, but we're not sure. We might have a check.
Speaker 19: We have to live in our swag.
Speaker 17: We will.
Speaker 2: You guys have got guts, you know, you know you've
Speaker 2: got guts doing it because it's people like us where
Speaker 2: we broadcast from here at t GB. We're across the
Speaker 2: road from the fish market, the Sydney fish Market, and
Speaker 2: it's the supplies and the work that you do and
Speaker 2: all your colleagues, whether it's oyster farmers or other people
Speaker 2: who work in the seafeed industry, that allows people like
Speaker 2: us to then go and go to the fish market
Speaker 2: and stock up here. So we need you, but we
Speaker 2: can't forget about you either. Thank you for joining Uspeck,
Speaker 2: and we'll talk to you in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 19: Yep, thank you very much for.
Speaker 2: Gust and Beck. You know people will say to me, oh, look,
Speaker 2: they didn't have insurance, why should the government be bailing
Speaker 2: them out. They can just go and move somewhere else
Speaker 2: now they can't. This is their life. Their whole life
Speaker 2: revolves around the river, the Manning River. They've been there
Speaker 2: for decades. Gus's dad was there, Grandpa was there, four
Speaker 2: bears have been there for generations. So it's not easy
Speaker 2: to just say, oh, you know what of Graham has
Speaker 2: a noise to farm, I'm going to do something else.
Speaker 2: And then there's people like us. We like buying seafood,
Speaker 2: so they're still going to be demand for it in
Speaker 2: the future. But yeah, with Gus said, it takes three
Speaker 2: years to grow an oyster. Fortunately he has some some
Speaker 2: stock out there that he's going to be able to
Speaker 2: get by on. But it's not going to be easy.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. We're not going to forget about
Speaker 2: the people of Tari and those surrounding districts in the
Speaker 2: mid North Coast in the Hunter Valley, and the government
Speaker 2: shouldn't forget about them either. Not the best dawn in
Speaker 2: the stock market. The A six two hundred is closed
Speaker 2: down twenty three points eighty five hundred and fifteen, but
Speaker 2: just riading. Some analysis in the Sydney Morning Herald this
Speaker 2: afternoon from Shane Wright. Increasingly the markets are factoring in
Speaker 2: a string of interest rate cuts before Christmas. In fact,
Speaker 2: the current official cash rate after the last reduction from
Speaker 2: the RBA brings it down to three point eighty five percent.
Speaker 2: It is being factored into the markets at the moment,
Speaker 2: and the banks also predicting this that rates will fall
Speaker 2: to three point one percent by Christmas. So that'll provide
Speaker 2: substantial savings for mortgage holders. But just mind you if
Speaker 2: you want to then have that money in your pocket
Speaker 2: to use it for Christmas spending, you actually have to
Speaker 2: tell your bank that you want to save that money.
Speaker 2: Twenty four past four some dramas on the train lines.
Speaker 2: Thanks for letting us know about this, David. David says,
Speaker 2: there are some signal issues at Central Station for trains.
Speaker 2: I'm sitting on a four to eighteen trained to Newcastle.
Speaker 2: It can't leave because the signals not working well. There
Speaker 2: are also some problems on the T too, the T
Speaker 2: two Leppington in a West line. A person that's needed
Speaker 2: medical assistance at Guildford. Now that means there are some
Speaker 2: delays now on the T two. We are told trains
Speaker 2: may stop on platforms between stations for longer than normal.
Speaker 2: While this incident is continuing, so the person is still
Speaker 2: being assisted. The T five trains are not running between
Speaker 2: canley Vale and Marylands, just in that direction, So just
Speaker 2: between Canleyvale and Marylands. If you're traveling from between Canleyvale
Speaker 2: and Marylands, you need to change trains at Cabra Matta.
Speaker 2: It was only this time last week the Government was
Speaker 2: a big smile on its face that finally the dispute
Speaker 2: with the Combined Rail unions had come to an end,
Speaker 2: that the RTB and the other unions that accepted the
Speaker 2: new pay deal three year deal which meant to be
Speaker 2: no industrial action, joy and happiness for all Sydney commuters.
Speaker 2: Where we discovered shortly afterwards the ETU didn't think that
Speaker 2: was a very good idea and they're fighting it as well.
Speaker 2: So it's not actually all over. These incidents this afternoon
Speaker 2: are not related. I should point out to any industrial
Speaker 2: action now talking about the help that we're giving farmers,
Speaker 2: that we're giving primary producers and those who've suffered and
Speaker 2: lost so much in the floods. Tom makes the point
Speaker 2: of the text line considering Australia's foreign eight amounts to
Speaker 2: four and a half billion dollars this year. How miserable
Speaker 2: is the PM with our mob. Let's take some calls
Speaker 2: on this issue.
Speaker 22: Hello, Debrah Hi Clinton, how are you?
Speaker 2: I'm good? What are your thoughts?
Speaker 22: I just want to make a comment about insurance. I
Speaker 22: think it's easy for people who aren't living this nightmare
Speaker 22: to say, oh, people aren't insured, they should just send
Speaker 22: for themselves. But I think what people might not realize
Speaker 22: is that some of these properties, and these are just houses,
Speaker 22: not businesses, can cost between twenty and thirty thousand dollars
Speaker 22: a year to have insurance. And who couldn't afford that?
Speaker 2: And that was a situation for gussen Beck. They can't afford.
Speaker 2: We're putting the business aside. Their home is on the
Speaker 2: river as part of the business. They can't afford to
Speaker 2: ensure their house. It's after the twenty twenty one pop
Speaker 2: fludg It is not possible and.
Speaker 22: People are trapped there too. Because I have friends that
Speaker 22: have been flood impacted up north. They've actually already bought
Speaker 22: a house somewhere else. They are unable to move into
Speaker 22: that house. They've got it rented out. They can't move
Speaker 22: into it because they're unable to sell their property because
Speaker 22: no one will buy it. Because it's going to cost
Speaker 22: thirty thousand dollars to ensure.
Speaker 2: As I was saying last week in the program, we
Speaker 2: need and I did mention this to the Premier Chris
Speaker 2: Means as well when he was on we seriously need
Speaker 2: to give some consideration to some sort of government style scheme.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's a partnership between private insurance companies and the
Speaker 2: government whereby if people are living in these areas that
Speaker 2: are prone to whether it's bushfire or flood, there is
Speaker 2: some sort of government option. Because it's easy to say,
Speaker 2: and it's fine to say, we should don't build on
Speaker 2: a floodplane, don't build in areas that are prone to bushfires,
Speaker 2: but there are people who've also lived in these areas
Speaker 2: for generations. It's not just easy to move. Thank you
Speaker 2: for your comments, Deborah, Hello Mitchell.
Speaker 5: Okay, mate, how I'm good.
Speaker 9: I was listening to the couple from Tarare and one
Speaker 9: of the things that the gentleman mentioned is that his
Speaker 9: grant money would go towards the fishery license or something
Speaker 9: of that nature or something. Now, what about is instead
Speaker 9: of take giving him twenty grand, it give to another
Speaker 9: branch of government. The government just freezes or bills generated
Speaker 9: by the government and do it by postcake. They say, Okay,
Speaker 9: you're living free for four months until you've back on
Speaker 9: your feet.
Speaker 2: Makes sense, makes one hundred percent of the Yeah, you.
Speaker 9: Don't have to rob boo and pay Paul, and you
Speaker 9: don't have to take out of the left hand, put
Speaker 9: them in the right hand.
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's the simple ideas that actually work best. Great suggesting, Mitchell,
Speaker 2: and we might pass that on too the Minister's office.
Speaker 2: It's twenty eight past four. If you get stuck in
Speaker 2: traffic over the next couple of hours heading out of Sydney,
Speaker 2: whether it's south or north or even west for the
Speaker 2: long weekend, let me know about it. One three, one
Speaker 2: eight seven three. Let's check out news headlines and we
Speaker 2: got the latest dear remark.
Speaker 14: Hello there.
Speaker 1: Clinton.
Speaker 14: Police are describing a fatal hit and run incident in
Speaker 14: Sydney's West as completely abhorrent behavior. They say they're hopeful
Speaker 14: of catching the driver responsible soon. Farmers are raising concerns
Speaker 14: about easing restrictions on US beef imports to secure an
Speaker 14: exemption from President Donald Trump's tariffs. Karen Webb is stepping
Speaker 14: down as Police Commissioner today. She'll take leave until her
Speaker 14: resignation comes into effect at the end of September. And
Speaker 14: HMAS Canberra has had to change its radar frequencies after
Speaker 14: causing have it to internet connections as it traveled down
Speaker 14: New Zealand. In Sport, the Super Rugby's Pacific Finals kickoff
Speaker 14: next hour in christ Church. Home team the Crusaders are
Speaker 14: hosting the Queensland Reds in the opening quarter final and
Speaker 14: there'll be more news at five o'clock.
Speaker 2: They're in fifteen degrees in the city its fourteen degrees.
Speaker 2: In Sydney's West. Three men have been charged after allegedly
Speaker 2: performing burnouts in Sydney's Western Suburbs. Police been investigating for
Speaker 2: a couple of days since last weekend. Well they've now
Speaker 2: issued a twenty seven year old man with a field
Speaker 2: court attendance notice for this is the charge for prolonged
Speaker 2: sustained loss of traction and drive recklessly furiously or speed
Speaker 2: manner dangerous. He's accused of doing burnouts. His license has
Speaker 2: been suspended and this is actually good. The vehicle used
Speaker 2: in the alleged defense has been impounded for three months.
Speaker 2: This is the sort of thing the police actually need
Speaker 2: to do more often with a fence with hons. If
Speaker 2: they do catch people with ridiculous speeds or burning out,
Speaker 2: impound the car. That's what those should Doman years ago,
Speaker 2: they were threatened to actually destroy the car, put them
Speaker 2: in a compactor and dump them on front lawns. It
Speaker 2: never actually happened. He'll appear in quarter later this month.
Speaker 2: Following further inquiries, a fifty one year old woman has
Speaker 2: been charged with not disclosing who the driver was be
Speaker 2: appearing in court next month as well. Police are continuing
Speaker 2: their investigations on the text line about floods and insurance issues.
Speaker 2: Blair says the state government is responsible for zoning. If
Speaker 2: housing is suitable in the first place, they should be
Speaker 2: responsible for the residents issues. The only issue there and
Speaker 2: I appreciate that perspective. Blair is, Guss and Beck have
Speaker 2: lived their the whole lives their family. Guss's family has
Speaker 2: been on the river for generations. So yes, governments are
Speaker 2: responsible for zoning, and they do, and they have in
Speaker 2: the past allowed development and areas where really they shouldn't.
Speaker 2: But these issues on the Manning River and so many
Speaker 2: properties have been flooded along the river. They date back
Speaker 2: generations and generations it's twenty five to five. A lot
Speaker 2: of excitement building about the opening of Sydney's new Western
Speaker 2: Sydney Airport reported today that when it does open, and
Speaker 2: it is proving popular now with some airlines, by twenty
Speaker 2: thirty there will be almost two hundred flies each day,
Speaker 2: bringing twenty three thousand passengers and eight hundred tons of cargo.
Speaker 2: The preliminary draft master Plan has now been released and
Speaker 2: it shows that by twenty fifty those figures, so the
Speaker 2: twenty three thousand passengers per day with two hundred flights
Speaker 2: will double by twenty fifty, so four hundred flights a day,
Speaker 2: upwards of fifty thousand passengers a day. The chief executive,
Speaker 2: Simon Hickey, says the plan that's been released today shows
Speaker 2: that the airport will lead to an additional ninety six
Speaker 2: billion dollars of investment by twenty sixty three. I think
Speaker 2: most of us thought that a Badgery's Creek Airport would
Speaker 2: never happen. As we were growing up, and I was
Speaker 2: growing up in the nineteen eighties, we always heard about
Speaker 2: the Badgery's Creek Airport and Bob Hawk was the Prime
Speaker 2: Minister promising it that it will be built well Finally
Speaker 2: it is happening and not before time. This is going
Speaker 2: to shock you. It's a Friday afternoon and there are
Speaker 2: dramas on Sydney's train network. Thanks for letting me know
Speaker 2: about this, Dave. Dave has been stuck in a train
Speaker 2: at Central Station as a problem with a signal issue.
Speaker 2: He's trying to get to Newcastle. Update from Dave. There
Speaker 2: is still a mechanical problem with the train. The driver
Speaker 2: has indicated that yet there is still the issue and
Speaker 2: this an issue is stopping the train so he can't
Speaker 2: get to Newcastle at moment. Problems on the TEA two.
Speaker 2: There has been a medical emergency at Guildford, so there
Speaker 2: are delays between around Guildford. So it's on the Leppington
Speaker 2: and Inner West line in both directions. The trains are
Speaker 2: still running, but they may stop on platforms for a
Speaker 2: little longer. And on the T five there are no
Speaker 2: trains running between Canley Vale and Marylynd's in that direction,
Speaker 2: so if you are traveling between Canley Vale and Marylands
Speaker 2: you need to change trains at Cabramata. It is a
Speaker 2: Friday afternoon after on the Public Transport Network twenty to five.
Speaker 2: Well did you see this coming. I think a few
Speaker 2: of us did. Elon Musk and Donald Trump have fallen
Speaker 2: out of love, and you would have seen these social
Speaker 2: media posts today. So Elon, of course, the richest man
Speaker 2: in the world, put up a post saying it's time
Speaker 2: to drop a really big bomb and claimed the real
Speaker 2: reason about what's going on at the moment in this
Speaker 2: fallout is the fact that he didn't give any details,
Speaker 2: but that Donald Trump is named in the Epstein files,
Speaker 2: the Jeffrey Epstein case, and you know those photos have
Speaker 2: been floating around for years that show mister Trump in
Speaker 2: the presence of mister Epstein. No one is denying that
Speaker 2: that occurred, but this is an allegation effective for Melon
Speaker 2: must know details yet, but that Donald Trump has actually
Speaker 2: been caught up in the wrongdoing. I want to bring
Speaker 2: Luke Grant in on this because he's been keeping across
Speaker 2: this in the past couple of hours. Get I Luke, Hello,
Speaker 2: Luke got a Clinton?
Speaker 5: How are you mate?
Speaker 2: I'm good? Was this bound to fail? This relationship?
Speaker 5: Well? I think so. You know it, it seemed too
Speaker 5: good to be true. That you know, you've got the
Speaker 5: bloke with the biggest wallet and the bloke with the
Speaker 5: biggest weapon, let's call it that, in the power he wields.
Speaker 5: And at some point they weren't going to see Ida
Speaker 5: why I think that was a given. But what's happened
Speaker 5: today is extraordinary. You reference the Epstein files. Now, one
Speaker 5: of the things here is that Elon knows stuff. He
Speaker 5: was in the room, He's heard the conversations, and he
Speaker 5: would have been very close to Donald Trump and all
Speaker 5: those around him, so he's got first hand evidence. Now,
Speaker 5: if the worst thing is the Epstein file, well he's
Speaker 5: dropped that, you know, kind of in day one of
Speaker 5: the feud. But what else has he got? And I
Speaker 5: think that's what Trump has most to worry about. And
Speaker 5: of course what Donald's got is he's got billions and
Speaker 5: billions of subsidies paid to Mask and his companies, particularly
Speaker 5: around the electric car mandate. I mean, I'm hearing Trump
Speaker 5: supporters who've got Tesla's and now keying their own cars.
Speaker 5: I really don't know what happens next. Made there was
Speaker 5: a beautiful AI generated tweet that had Elon and the
Speaker 5: Trumpster saying are we filled? You only joking? What a
Speaker 5: great prank? And that was just AI generated. So look,
Speaker 5: I don't know are they going to come out all
Speaker 5: of a sudden and say that, I don't know, is
Speaker 5: Trump going to fire up and in fact really enforce
Speaker 5: the cessation of subsidies. That'll cost Elon a quid, no doubt.
Speaker 5: Where does it go? But it's just wonderful to watch
Speaker 5: and to quote that form were independent, who was a
Speaker 5: right royal pain of that? You know what? This is
Speaker 5: beautiful in its ugliness, That's what it is, my friend.
Speaker 2: I always thought it was a strange marriage, given that
Speaker 2: that Elon Musk is that he's a poet with you,
Speaker 2: like letrichiggl or not, he is a poney when it
Speaker 2: comes to evs. So do you think maybe the motive
Speaker 2: we always knew that Donald Trump was pretty much antiev
Speaker 2: Do you think maybe the motivation for Elon becoming such
Speaker 2: a big supporter I thought big financial supporter in the
Speaker 2: end was to win the support financially of the Trump
Speaker 2: administration for his electric.
Speaker 5: New Interesting thought, because I forget Elon Musk spent two
Speaker 5: hundred and fifty million dollars supporting the Trump's campaign, two
Speaker 5: hundred and fifty million dollars. Now Trump's saying today Elon
Speaker 5: Musk knew all along this was part of the bill.
Speaker 5: We're going to do this, Musk now saying, oh, look,
Speaker 5: they've tried to get this bill in late at night.
Speaker 5: I knew no details. So it obviously really hurts Musk
Speaker 5: in the back pocket, no doubt about that. But to
Speaker 5: think that he could win Trump or bring Trump into
Speaker 5: electric motor vehicle land, I don't know that. I think,
Speaker 5: you know, he's obviously very capable and very persuasive, and
Speaker 5: he wields lots of power. But there came a point
Speaker 5: where Trump said, no, I just can't do that, because
Speaker 5: both men agree on this, that a balanced budget is
Speaker 5: the outcome and if you don't do that, then you
Speaker 5: shouldn't be in power. They both agree on that. So
Speaker 5: I don't know where Elon thinks that Donald Trump can
Speaker 5: save a quid. And if he thought he was going to,
Speaker 5: you know, he had a Donald Trump for the changing,
Speaker 5: then he got that horribly wrong. And even today mate,
Speaker 5: when he wrote that he'd decommission SpaceX. Now, of course
Speaker 5: that transports then astronauts and supplies to the International Space
Speaker 5: Station and does so many other great things in space.
Speaker 5: I mean, you've got to say that the hatred and
Speaker 5: the feud is so explosive and then to wheel out
Speaker 5: the Epstein so called mention. There's no proof of that.
Speaker 5: And for Donald, I mean, he's got the German Chancellor
Speaker 5: sitting next to him in the White House and he's
Speaker 5: firing off. I mean, how uncomfortable must that have been
Speaker 5: with this old bloke. Anyway, I don't know. I don't
Speaker 5: know how it fixes itself, but I get the senses.
Speaker 5: Probably you do too. It'll probably get a whole lot
Speaker 5: more ugly, if that's even possible.
Speaker 2: Now he did egl must did present the Donald with
Speaker 2: a Tesla a couple of months ago. From memory. He
Speaker 2: doesn't drive, does he Donald?
Speaker 5: No? No, But the Trump kids, the Trump kids and others,
Speaker 5: they hop in this red thing. It's a magnificent looking car,
Speaker 5: and they do. They do laps around d C. Taking
Speaker 5: pictures of it, and they'm in it. So it's a
Speaker 5: real toy for the family. I don't know that Donald
Speaker 5: sits there and drives anything, quite frankly, but no, that's
Speaker 5: that's got to be now picked up and taken away way.
Speaker 2: They've got the self they've got the self driving technology
Speaker 2: in the Tesla's in the US.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, could you hop in one of them? A
Speaker 5: self drive car.
Speaker 2: No, not a chance. No. Look, I'm a bit antiquated
Speaker 2: with these things. Even even our boss Burns he said
Speaker 2: to me today, am I using Gemini? And I thought
Speaker 2: he was referring to the Holdens back in the early eighties,
Speaker 2: good good little car to Gemini. No, Gemini is actually
Speaker 2: the AI assistant that the Google network uses, and so
Speaker 2: I haven't touched Gemini yet.
Speaker 5: Well, I just say to Bournsy who might be listening,
Speaker 5: I've used it a couple of times. I don't trust
Speaker 5: it yet, but it certainly provided some commentary or some
Speaker 5: written material to use on air. I don't trust it yet.
Speaker 5: I want to trust it. But we've got some training
Speaker 5: coming up, I think in August, haven't we.
Speaker 2: I think so does just Gemini. If you use it
Speaker 2: to provide some commentary. Does Gemini provide a political perspective? No?
Speaker 5: Well, I don't ask it for an opinion. I asked
Speaker 5: it to turn something that might be five pages into
Speaker 5: half of one page.
Speaker 2: And it can do that.
Speaker 5: It can do that, It can do that. The other
Speaker 5: things can do that, and there's probably a million other
Speaker 5: really good things that can do that. I just don't
Speaker 5: have a clue about. But we've got training in August. Mates,
Speaker 5: can't wait?
Speaker 2: Well, the wold In Gemini, the Holden Gemini wasn't a
Speaker 2: bad little car. My grandpa had one at one point. Now,
Speaker 2: what's on the show tomorrow?
Speaker 5: Well, hang on. That was my first car. It was
Speaker 5: a red one. I remember the red Joe. It was
Speaker 5: k ep. I want to tell you the numbers. A
Speaker 5: red Gemini. It was the base model. The old man said,
Speaker 5: I'll lend you the money for this, but you've got
Speaker 5: to work at the shop on the weekend to pay
Speaker 5: for it. Said, run up here enough and anyway, that's
Speaker 5: my Gemini story. My first car, sorry going in.
Speaker 2: My first car was also hand me down, was my
Speaker 2: parents and they kindly donated to me at the end
Speaker 2: of its useful life. Was a station wagon nineteen eighty
Speaker 2: one Twitter Corona station Wagon in Pooh brown, Pooh brown metallic.
Speaker 5: Oh okay, well that changes everything.
Speaker 2: Fundy Hell, what's on the show? Plenty?
Speaker 5: Look remarkable? Ozzie on Sunday Morning is a blow called
Speaker 5: Andy Sashan. Now, no one would know of Andy Shan
Speaker 5: unless you were a music of Fiicheronado. He's the bass player.
Speaker 5: He's an Australian bass player for Billy Joel in the
Speaker 5: old days. He's played with Rose Tattoo, Dragon and Icehouse
Speaker 5: put in our tours with Billy Joel, and we got
Speaker 5: to know about Andy Sehan because we had the news
Speaker 5: of you weeks ago. Now the Billy was really crooked
Speaker 5: and a listener said, one of my mates plays with him,
Speaker 5: and he says, yeah, he is really crooked. So a
Speaker 5: long way around to get him to speak to Andy Sishan,
Speaker 5: Chris Marshall of Love. Actually the young guy with a
Speaker 5: British accent goes to America, comes back with the bevy
Speaker 5: when he could do that. He's on the show. I've
Speaker 5: got a new season Beyond Paradise coming out. We want
Speaker 5: to talk to him about that.
Speaker 2: There were so many classic moments in that program, in
Speaker 2: that movie, and most about whether we admit it or
Speaker 2: not in most of our top five. So was his
Speaker 2: name Colin Frizzle, Yes, that's Colin Frizzle.
Speaker 5: That's Colin Frizzle, ka big and we won't need to
Speaker 5: we don't need to say the other words. Yeah, that's him.
Speaker 2: You've got Colin Frizzle on the show. That's right one.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah, a zen pic. How safe is it or
Speaker 5: is it not? We want to really look at that.
Speaker 5: We've talked about that for a couple of weeks. And
Speaker 5: the long range weather forecaster Hayden Walker, he will join
Speaker 5: me to give us a glimpse into what he sees
Speaker 5: a winter ig normally on the mark and he's a
Speaker 5: good chatter. He'll be here with me tomorrow morning, my friend.
Speaker 2: We'll be listening from eight o'clock, sorry, nine o'clock. We
Speaker 2: will be listening from eight o'clock for Life and Tech,
Speaker 2: but from nine o'clock for Luke Grant. Thanks mate.
Speaker 5: I'm going to just say to my listeners and your listeners.
Speaker 5: Last week, this flow Clinton Maynard, Kip the roosters to
Speaker 5: beat camera, Hello, leave us alone, Bye bye.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Louk. So this week you could you give
Speaker 2: Hilly Grant from nine o'clock tomorrow morning. This week the
Speaker 2: roosters have the buy, So I think I'll back the
Speaker 2: buy five to five on the text line zero four
Speaker 2: singx zero eight seven three out seven three. Well Peter
Speaker 2: confirms Donald Trump Trump can drive because he drives his
Speaker 2: own golf buggy. A little bit different driving a car.
Speaker 2: The golf buggy is there electric, aren't they? It's a
Speaker 2: Tesla golf buggy Bob says, look to put things into perspective.
Speaker 2: Elon Musk and his donation to the Trump campaign two
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty million dollars is simply ashtray money from us,
Speaker 2: because of course he's a billionaire. Luke Grant just revealed
Speaker 2: that his first car was a Holding Gemini. What was
Speaker 2: your first car?
Speaker 7: In?
Speaker 23: My first car, Clinton, by the way, had you going today?
Speaker 16: Was nineteen seventy four Gallant?
Speaker 2: They were the Chrysler Galant, wasn't it?
Speaker 8: Yeah? Yeah, Oh my god.
Speaker 16: His name was Larry Right.
Speaker 23: I got him as a birthday present for my twenty
Speaker 23: first which was like a couple of years ago. And
Speaker 23: it's when Mary Enda I was on the what was
Speaker 23: it that show?
Speaker 16: The price is right? Thank you Larry, Thank you Larry.
Speaker 16: Anyone believed. They drove it up my driveway and they
Speaker 16: just finished really fixing and building it that day, and
Speaker 16: as I'm putting the windscreen in, it shattered and it
Speaker 16: was oh car, so you touch it? And it just
Speaker 16: went everywhere and one of my friends goes, oh, can
Speaker 16: I touch it.
Speaker 8: And just sppe. For years I was pulling class out
Speaker 8: of the event.
Speaker 2: You don't have it anymore, do you?
Speaker 11: No?
Speaker 16: No, I couldn't find any path for it when it
Speaker 16: started breaking down, so I just had to me to
Speaker 16: another vehicle.
Speaker 2: Good on you mean thank you if you call. My
Speaker 2: first car was a nineteen eighty one tour to Corona
Speaker 2: and it had been our family car and Mum and
Speaker 2: Dad had bought a new car, so rather than traded in,
Speaker 2: they very graciously gave it to me. Dave, the bus
Speaker 2: driver says his first car was a nineteen seventy three
Speaker 2: HQ and it's still in the garage. So the old
Speaker 2: in HQ kingswould hold in HQ Kingswood, was it? Good
Speaker 2: on your Dave? Significant moves in the past twenty four
Speaker 2: hours by Karingay Council on the North Shore of Sydney.
Speaker 2: Kring Guy Council has been one of the very vocal
Speaker 2: councils is probably the most vocal council against the State
Speaker 2: government's planning changes to dramatically increase housing development, particularly near
Speaker 2: train stations. They've been fighting it because they have claimed
Speaker 2: that much of the north Shore is not suitable for
Speaker 2: high rise development and the state government, though they're simply
Speaker 2: not going to say no, So what the council has done.
Speaker 2: They had a council meeting last night and they've come
Speaker 2: up with their own plan, And I just wonder whether
Speaker 2: local people will be happy with this plan either. They
Speaker 2: might not be quite satisfied with what the state governments
Speaker 2: put for, but I doubt they're going to like what
Speaker 2: the council has come up with either. So the government's
Speaker 2: plan is for six story buildings within a four hundred
Speaker 2: meter radius of train stations, so that would affect, for instance,
Speaker 2: Gordon train station and the Pacific Highway, Taramara, Lynnfield. What
Speaker 2: the council has done, they've come up with a plan
Speaker 2: for as many as twenty four thousand homes a little
Speaker 2: more than that in buildings as high as twenty eight
Speaker 2: stories in Gordon, eighteen stories in Lynnfield and eight stories
Speaker 2: in Roseville and Kollara. So these would actually taller buildings,
Speaker 2: but there'd be fewer of them. So rather than six
Speaker 2: story buildings everywhere basically along the Pacific Highway near train stations,
Speaker 2: there'd be these specific locations Gordon, Lynnfield, Roseville, Kalara, but
Speaker 2: Gordon twenty eight stories, so you can obviously pack a
Speaker 2: lot more people in there. The Council's pretty much being
Speaker 2: forced in this position. But I've got to see. My
Speaker 2: problem with it with either the state government plan or
Speaker 2: the council's plan is yes, these buildings will be near
Speaker 2: train stations, and that's what the whole idea is about.
Speaker 2: Encourage development near a metro or in this the heavy
Speaker 2: train line, and you encourage the residents not to drive
Speaker 2: a car but to catch the train. It makes some sense,
Speaker 2: but let's be honest, Sydney is a city addicted to cars.
Speaker 2: We've all got one. Now, are you going to tell
Speaker 2: me that people who buy a unit or rent a
Speaker 2: unit in these locations aren't going to have a car.
Speaker 2: There'll be at least one car with every unit. Now,
Speaker 2: the Pacific Highway through the North Shore, and I'm not
Speaker 2: biased on this one. I live in the opposite end
Speaker 2: of the city. But it is a nightmare of a road.
Speaker 2: It's in many parts quite narrow. Still, there's a lot
Speaker 2: of schools, so you have forty k zones during school
Speaker 2: hours in many areas. Think about twenty five thousand apartments
Speaker 2: going up along that area of Sydney. How on earth
Speaker 2: is the Pacific Highway going to handle it? How does
Speaker 2: it handle that traffic? Now? I'm not against developing more
Speaker 2: property in Sydney. We've got a serious housing crisis. We
Speaker 2: know that our young people are not going to be
Speaker 2: able to afford to live in Sydney forget out buying, just
Speaker 2: just renting. And if younger people end up moving out
Speaker 2: of Sydney, we're going to have a problem with employment.
Speaker 2: There's not gonna be enough people to fill jobs. But
Speaker 2: I think we've got to choose the right locations. And
Speaker 2: I'm not convinced the north Shore. And as I said,
Speaker 2: I don't live there, but I'm not convinced the north
Speaker 2: Shore itself is the right location for that level of development.
Speaker 2: I mean, if you'd live on the north Shore, you
Speaker 2: live around Gordon Linfield Roads, who I'd love to hear
Speaker 2: from you in the next hour of the program one
Speaker 2: three one eight seven three you tell me whether you
Speaker 2: think it's the right location for that level of development
Speaker 2: twenty five thousand homes. Because those people are going to
Speaker 2: have cars, They're going to be crammed on the Pacific Highway.
Speaker 2: The Pacific Highway can't handle the cars that are on
Speaker 2: it at the moment. Let me know what you think.
Speaker 2: Zero force x zero eight seven three eight seven three
Speaker 2: coming up in the next hour of the program.
Speaker 1: Mark Gyer, this is Sydney. Now we've Clinton Maynard on.
Speaker 2: To GBS seven past five. Can we declare the long
Speaker 2: weekend has begun yet? So I think we can after
Speaker 2: five o'clock business hours are over, so it's the King's
Speaker 2: Birthday long weekend now. Fortunately, the traffic out of Sydney
Speaker 2: is actually not too bad. Yes, there is certainly extra
Speaker 2: traffic on the M one heading to the central coast
Speaker 2: of Newcastle, but not as bad as it usually is
Speaker 2: heading into a long weekend and even to the south
Speaker 2: and the west. If you are stuck in any traffic,
Speaker 2: let me know about it. Zero force x zero eight
Speaker 2: seven three eight seven three for our text messages. I
Speaker 2: wonder whether this might be part of it. Now, this
Speaker 2: is just my experience. My son plays soccer like I'm
Speaker 2: sure lots of your kids play soccer or netball or
Speaker 2: winter sport, and he has two soccer games scheduled this weekend,
Speaker 2: so he's playing tomorrow. It's just this is just the
Speaker 2: under fourteens, under fifteens and playing on Monday. And the
Speaker 2: reason he's playing on Monday on the public holiday is
Speaker 2: because they're catching up for wet weather games. And I
Speaker 2: wonder whether a lot of mums and dads aren't leaving
Speaker 2: Sydney this weekend because the kids are actually playing sport
Speaker 2: on Monday where usually they wouldn't be. And perhaps you'd
Speaker 2: be able to go on a long weekend holiday after
Speaker 2: the Saturday morning sport. Maybe you're still playing on Saturday.
Speaker 2: Got some insight to that, let me know. But if
Speaker 2: you are stuck in some traffic, certainly send your message
Speaker 2: zero force zero eight seven three. There have been some
Speaker 2: problems on the train lines this afternoon. There are delays
Speaker 2: on the Cumberland Lowe, the Leppington Line and the Inner
Speaker 2: West Line. A person need to medical assistance at Guilford
Speaker 2: a little earlier, and that means stops might change at
Speaker 2: short notice. If you find that that, for instance, there
Speaker 2: are extra stops that's the reason why. So that means
Speaker 2: because trains are stopping at more of the stations, they're
Speaker 2: operating a little slowly this afternoon. There's also been some
Speaker 2: problems from Central towards Newcastle because a signal issues there.
Speaker 2: It's eight past five.
Speaker 1: If it's happening in Sydney, you'll hear it on Sydney
Speaker 1: now with Clinton.
Speaker 2: On to GB Well, big news today about beef. American
Speaker 2: beef could be fully allowed back into our country for
Speaker 2: the first time since two thousand and three when mad
Speaker 2: cow disease broke out. Since twenty nineteen, there's been a
Speaker 2: partial bend, so some beef has been allowed in. Producers
Speaker 2: have been able to access the Aussie market if they
Speaker 2: can ensure all protocols have been followed. But there's going
Speaker 2: to be some more negotiation with the United States because,
Speaker 2: as you know, the Trump administration is increasing our tariffs
Speaker 2: and Donald Trump made it very clear one of the
Speaker 2: reasons why we are going to cop bigger taffs on
Speaker 2: our beef industry is because we don't allow a lot
Speaker 2: of beef in from the United States. Now this is
Speaker 2: critical for the US because they love our beef, makes
Speaker 2: for great hamburger patties, and Donald Trump himself loves a
Speaker 2: big mac. The Prime Minister and the Government has indicated well,
Speaker 2: there are some negotiations, but the Prime Minister told the
Speaker 2: ABC today it's no reason to be concerned because our
Speaker 2: biosecurity is still going to be protected.
Speaker 6: We will not change or compromise any of the issues
Speaker 6: regarding biosecurity, full stop, exclamation mark.
Speaker 1: It's simply not worth it.
Speaker 2: But we don't have an outcome yet. The Prime Minister
Speaker 2: is not explaining yet what is going to happen. Doctor
Speaker 2: Chris Parker is the CEO of Cattle Australia and joins US.
Speaker 2: Thank you for your time, Chris oh quinn, thank you
Speaker 2: for having me on. If American beef is allowed here
Speaker 2: without the level of restrictions that now apply, what's that
Speaker 2: going to mean for our industry?
Speaker 9: Well, look, our.
Speaker 8: Position is is the US needs to be able to
Speaker 8: demonstrate that it can either trace cattle born in Mexico
Speaker 8: and Canada or has systems that are equivalent to our
Speaker 8: traceability here in this country, and that should be assured
Speaker 8: before imports can begin again.
Speaker 2: So is that part of the problem here that we're
Speaker 2: not only talking about the American cattle or American beef
Speaker 2: that's processed in America. Do the cows in the catad
Speaker 2: do they originally come from Mexico or Canada.
Speaker 8: Well, at the moment, they've got access for cattle that
Speaker 8: are born, raised and then slaughtered in the US, So
Speaker 8: they've got access for that. They've chosen not to use
Speaker 8: that access because their market is actually encompasses cattle coming
Speaker 8: in from Mexico and cattle and meat coming in from
Speaker 8: from Canada, so it's quite an integrated market amongst those
Speaker 8: three countries. So all we've required is that when those
Speaker 8: animals enter from those other countries that they have traceability,
Speaker 8: which means you know where they're born, you know where
Speaker 8: they're born, you know where they'll be. That's what traceability means,
Speaker 8: and so that's what we want to see occur as
Speaker 8: part of this risk assessment that the government is doing
Speaker 8: and access for the US beef and so.
Speaker 2: How does it work if the beef comes in here?
Speaker 2: What is the risk to us if we're not confident
Speaker 2: with these protocols?
Speaker 8: Well, particularly there are always in this case, we're concerned
Speaker 8: about the origin of the meat, just as the Americans
Speaker 8: are concerned about origin and Australian beefs going they of
Speaker 8: course insist that it's born, raised, and slaughtered in Australia.
Speaker 8: So all we're asking for is the sorts of equivalency
Speaker 8: in this space. But really, you know, we're in a
Speaker 8: position where the meats at themandment is one way trade.
Speaker 8: An enormous amount of beef goes into the US from
Speaker 8: Australia and we would like to see that continue in
Speaker 8: the two way trade continue. So look, I think in
Speaker 8: the end what this is about is industry ensuring that
Speaker 8: any conditions that are put in place make sure they
Speaker 8: protect the Australian industry. And we were heartened to hear
Speaker 8: the Prime Minister to say that that would.
Speaker 2: Be is the reality that even if the American beef
Speaker 2: is allowed here, that our Australian beef is still going
Speaker 2: to be far more popular with the local consumer anyway,
Speaker 2: because it's like or so I would assume it's going
Speaker 2: to be better value still because it's not traveling from
Speaker 2: the other side of the world.
Speaker 8: Well, of course that will be I mean, even not
Speaker 8: including the travel, the price of beef in the US
Speaker 8: department is higher than it is in Australia. So the
Speaker 8: chances of them being able to competitively put large qualities
Speaker 8: of the US beef in Australia is pretty unlikely. But
Speaker 8: you know, before the beef was banned due to the
Speaker 8: mad Count disease, you know from the US, that is
Speaker 8: what we saw is quite small volumes coming in a
Speaker 8: quite specialist, you know, sort of highly feed lotted you know,
Speaker 8: a specialist market in some restaurants on the East Coast.
Speaker 8: I would think that'd be the similar sort of.
Speaker 2: Thing with tariff. So just saying another deal isn't arranged
Speaker 2: and we keep basically blocking a lot of this beef
Speaker 2: and the tariffs go up, as mister Trump has worn,
Speaker 2: what effect you now believe that's going to have on
Speaker 2: our market? Because they're going to want our beef, aren't
Speaker 2: they they are?
Speaker 8: And what we've actually seen, even with the ten percent taff,
Speaker 8: we've seen a year on year a thirty two percent
Speaker 8: increase in the amount of beef going from Australia to
Speaker 8: the US. And the reason is because our beef is
Speaker 8: not fatty, it's lean, and they mix it with their
Speaker 8: fatty beef to make hamburger patties and so in fact,
Speaker 8: in fact, it's quite a complementary part of their process.
Speaker 8: And so US importers want to use lean Australian beef,
Speaker 8: then they can mix to get the right fat content
Speaker 8: in their ments.
Speaker 2: So that's used to make paddies. So it's better for
Speaker 2: the Big Mac. Just as an example, Donald Trump, wht's
Speaker 2: Big Max. It's better for the Big Mac to have
Speaker 2: a combination of our meat and their meat in the
Speaker 2: one patty how works.
Speaker 8: It's been said to me that at least forty to
Speaker 8: fifty percent of the beef in American paddies is Australian.
Speaker 2: It was there beef fatty, and ours.
Speaker 8: Isn't because they feed lot so they're feeding on grain,
Speaker 8: and so what they do tend to see is is
Speaker 8: that you see, I suppose more fat laid down both
Speaker 8: in the meat and outside the meat. So the trimmings,
Speaker 8: which is what they cut off when they're preparing the carcass,
Speaker 8: end up being quite fatty, whereas ours mostly is grass fed,
Speaker 8: and mostly grass fed in the North, so again it
Speaker 8: tends to be quite lean. So when they do prepare
Speaker 8: the carcass, the trimmings which come off, which they then
Speaker 8: freeze and export, are quite lean and complementary to the
Speaker 8: US system.
Speaker 2: Look, I really appreciate that explanation, Chris, because I think
Speaker 2: some of us might just think, oh, you know, our
Speaker 2: beasts better because we're Australian. You know, we're of a
Speaker 2: patriarchy well, which as most countries are. But but it's
Speaker 2: good to have that explanation of actually how it works,
Speaker 2: that it's different the way we feed our cattle here, Hey, Chris.
Speaker 2: Hopefully they work it out and it's good for both countries.
Speaker 5: Thank you, Chris, indeed, thank you for having me cheer mate.
Speaker 2: Doctor Chris Parker, who's the CEO of Cattle Australia until six.
Speaker 1: This is Sidney now with Clinton Maynard on two GB
Speaker 1: call now one three one three.
Speaker 2: Quarter past five. I spoke too soon about the M
Speaker 2: one heading from Sydney to the Central Coast and Newcastle
Speaker 2: not being too bad for the start of a long weekend.
Speaker 2: It is bad, okay, sorry about this. Kerry tells me
Speaker 2: the N one northbound is becoming a mess. It is
Speaker 2: very slow for kilometers around Cowen past Mount White turn off.
Speaker 2: It is choker block would be a good description now,
Speaker 2: thanks for letting me know about that, Kerry, and raised
Speaker 2: with Kerry as well. In the car at the moment,
Speaker 2: Kelvin is traveling from work in Sydney back home to
Speaker 2: the Central Coast. Yeah, traffic very heavy just off Brooklyn.
Speaker 2: Deborah tells me hello from the M one. I'm on
Speaker 2: the end one at the moment. Usually the traffic is
Speaker 2: an absolute nightmare. Currently I'm traveling at forty kilometers now
Speaker 2: in a ninety zone so it's extremely heavy traffic. Debra says,
Speaker 2: happy long weekend. The Liberal Party is still considering what
Speaker 2: they're going to do legally in the seat of Bradfield
Speaker 2: after the recount resulted in the Teal Independent Nicolette Buller
Speaker 2: being declared the winner. She has won the seat by
Speaker 2: twenty six votes. Well. Gizelle Captian, who was the Liberal candidate,
Speaker 2: has now spoken publicly for the first time. She has
Speaker 2: appeared on ABC News TV in the past hour and
Speaker 2: she's been asked if she considered taking the result to
Speaker 2: the Court of Dispute returns and certainly Gizelle Captiian has
Speaker 2: not ruled that out.
Speaker 24: I'm just taking a moment to breathe. It's been a
Speaker 24: really really tight result with two different outcomes, you know,
Speaker 24: twenty six votes between us after one hundred and eighteen
Speaker 24: thousand ballots were cast, and it's the two different outcomes
Speaker 24: that we're having a look at now, taking a moment
Speaker 24: to breathe, taking advice, having a look at to really
Speaker 24: understand where the numbers lie and what might lie ahead.
Speaker 2: She also spoke about the journey from North Sitting to Bradfield,
Speaker 2: because of course the North Sydney seat was abolished. It
Speaker 2: was held by a teal and that meant that the
Speaker 2: boundaries of Bradfield changed.
Speaker 24: I think people can see that I'm a fighter. I
Speaker 24: truly believe in the cause that I put up my
Speaker 24: hand to represent and I ran as the candidate for
Speaker 24: Mill Sydney. It was abolished before I even had the
Speaker 24: chance to take my views, my principles and my message
Speaker 24: to the people of Mill Sydney. I was blessed to
Speaker 24: have the opportunity to take that vision to the people
Speaker 24: of Bradfield. This is not something I just woke up
Speaker 24: the one day and decided I wanted to do. This
Speaker 24: comes from a deep seated belief that we need to
Speaker 24: reset where Australia is heading.
Speaker 2: Giselle Captire and she's quite an impressive woman we spoke
Speaker 2: to on the program during the election campaign. She is
Speaker 2: very well regarded in Liberal circles and I've heard that
Speaker 2: the Labor Party, for instance, at State Parliament don't want
Speaker 2: to see her in State Parliament and they wanted her
Speaker 2: to see they her to win the seat of Bradford
Speaker 2: Federley so she doesn't make a crack at State Parliament
Speaker 2: at some point in the future. So the Liberal Party
Speaker 2: and Giselle Capturian will be very closely looking at the grounds.
Speaker 2: They may have to refer this case to the Court
Speaker 2: of Disputed Returns coming up, Charlie Brown, We're going to
Speaker 2: have a look at AI. We were just talking about
Speaker 2: AI with Luke and Gemini. We'll have a look at
Speaker 2: a video of a paraglider stuck in the air. It's
Speaker 2: gone viral right and it's very excitable on social media,
Speaker 2: but it turns out it's a fake. Charlie Brown joining
Speaker 2: us shortly eighteen past five, twenty two to five confirmation.
Speaker 2: Karen Webb has now finished up as the Police Commissioner.
Speaker 2: She is retiring on the thirtieth of September, but she's
Speaker 2: actually handing over power to the who's going to be
Speaker 2: the acting Police Commissioner, Peter Thurtell. We've now confirmed this
Speaker 2: with the Police Minister's office, and it had been flagged
Speaker 2: previously that the be the handou a pure but I
Speaker 2: don't think many of us actually realize that she'd be
Speaker 2: leaving the position this early. But no, she is now
Speaker 2: finished up as the Police Commissioner, formally retiring on September thirty,
Speaker 2: but she takes leave up until then. Word on the
Speaker 2: Street thinks to temper a great night's sleep night after night.
Speaker 2: The difference is temper. We each week award one of
Speaker 2: our Word on the Street listeners with some Temper Primer
Speaker 2: cooling pillows will send out two worth six hundred dollars.
Speaker 2: So when you see something around Sydney that you'd like
Speaker 2: us to investigate. If you think something's a little curious,
Speaker 2: perhaps it's just a big traffic snail, let us know.
Speaker 2: You can email us to gb dot com. You'll see
Speaker 2: the icon for Sydney now. But also you can send
Speaker 2: us text messages zero four s X zero eight seven
Speaker 2: three eight seven three. This week's winner of Word on
Speaker 2: the Street is James. James told us yesterday about the
Speaker 2: illegal dumping rubbish dumping happening in and around Risby and
Speaker 2: Padstow Heights. It's a mess and looking at the photos,
Speaker 2: there were all these old ties left by the side
Speaker 2: of the road, an old piano, building, construction materials, and
Speaker 2: someone had to do with the fact you had all
Speaker 2: these trucks that were parked almost like a depot on
Speaker 2: the side of Henry Lawson Drive. And now the rubbish
Speaker 2: was hidden behind the trucks. Anyway, We've put it to
Speaker 2: the relevant councilors and transport authorities and im understanding is
Speaker 2: some of that rubbish is now being moved, including the piano.
Speaker 2: So good on your James letting us know about it,
Speaker 2: because it means we can try and get some action.
Speaker 2: So we're sending you out to Temper Primer cooling pillows
Speaker 2: valued at more than six hundred dollars a great night's sleep,
Speaker 2: night after night. Difference is Temper.
Speaker 1: Bigger part of Sydney now with Clinton Maynard called one
Speaker 1: three one eight seven three at twenty.
Speaker 2: Four past five, we have some dramas with the Sydney
Speaker 2: and our team now our two Gibi intern. Camilla has
Speaker 2: just copped a fine, and no, she hasn't copped a
Speaker 2: fine during the double demerit point period. She's been sent
Speaker 2: a letter in the mail. You won't believe this. She's
Speaker 2: been sent a letter in the mail from Italy. Camilla
Speaker 2: has copped a speeding fine from Sardinia September last year,
Speaker 2: nine months after she paid a visit to Italy would
Speaker 2: have been a lovely holiday. Camilla's boyfriend was doing some driving.
Speaker 2: The fine says they were doing one hundred and thirty
Speaker 2: one k's in a ninety zone. Your boyfriend likes to
Speaker 2: are travel, Camilla, was he driving a Ferrari in Italy?
Speaker 2: Nice Alpha Lamborghini's lovely Italian cars on the market, one
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty one in the ninety zone very early
Speaker 2: in the morning. Apparently the Rushian of the airport trying
Speaker 2: to get to the airport, and Camilla tells us they're
Speaker 2: actually doing the same speed as all the traffic around them,
Speaker 2: because you know the Italians, they do like to drive fast.
Speaker 2: That's why they've got Ferrari's. Anyway, she's been sent a
Speaker 2: two hundred and nine euro fine. Two hundred and nine
Speaker 2: euros translates to three hundred and sixty seven dollars. Now,
Speaker 2: if they don't pay it within five days the fine
Speaker 2: will I shouldn't laugh? Is serious matter. They don't pay
Speaker 2: it within five days, the fine's going to go up.
Speaker 2: Does this have happened to you? One three, one, eight seven,
Speaker 2: three months and months after an overseas trip, you've copped
Speaker 2: to fine in the mail? Did you just pay it?
Speaker 2: Do you do the right thing and pay it? Camilla?
Speaker 2: Can you make sure they pay the fine?
Speaker 5: Yep?
Speaker 2: She's put a hands up thumbs up because we do
Speaker 2: have an extradition arrangement with the Italians. And let me
Speaker 2: assure you there'll be knocking on our door wanting you
Speaker 2: and your boyfriend to edit back to Italy. Spend some time,
Speaker 2: some quality time behind Barzi if you don't pay the
Speaker 2: fine coming up to five point thirty. I was listening
Speaker 2: to the six Tackles with Gusts podcasts last night with
Speaker 2: Phil Gould and Matt Thompson, and this has to be
Speaker 2: one of the funniest things I've ever heard. Matt came
Speaker 2: across this on social media. It's the Trump star talking
Speaker 2: about his disgust at paper straws, but mixed with the
Speaker 2: theme to Seinfeld, if they want a band straw?
Speaker 25: Has anybody ever tried those paper straws?
Speaker 13: They're not working to the right?
Speaker 25: Has anybody ever tried jericy? The news sort's made out
Speaker 25: of paper?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 25: It disintegrates as you're drinking. If you have a nice
Speaker 25: fire like this side, this would have no chance. By
Speaker 25: the time you get finished the straw, it's totally disintegrated.
Speaker 25: Does anybody walk around with a plastic straw because it's
Speaker 25: gun bad?
Speaker 13: You know, you whipping out for them?
Speaker 9: For them?
Speaker 10: You never had to do that, So.
Speaker 2: They want to band straws. They said, oh really, what
Speaker 2: about the cart, what about the plate?
Speaker 13: What about the knives and the.
Speaker 25: Spoons at a plastic Oh they're okay, but the straws.
Speaker 2: We got a bad keep fit right in the siwn
Speaker 2: field with that rant, wouldn't he He's completely legitimate that
Speaker 2: he actually said that. It's not AI or anything. That
Speaker 2: was Donald Trump about cardboard straws. Nobody likes cardboard stores.
Speaker 2: I had a milkshake this morning on the way to work. Right,
Speaker 2: it was a great milkshake, came with a damn cardboard straw.
Speaker 2: So by the time I got to the end of
Speaker 2: the milkshake, the straw was useless. Right, Look, you can
Speaker 2: put up with those wooden knives and forks, they're okay,
Speaker 2: But honestly, the cardboard straw has no good. But some
Speaker 2: very creative person online has put the trumpster's rant to Seinfeld.
Speaker 2: You would actually think the Trumpster was from Seinfeld one
Speaker 2: eight seven three. Let's check out his headlines, and we've
Speaker 2: got the latest deren Mark.
Speaker 14: Hello there, Clinton. A jumping castle operator has been found
Speaker 14: not guilty over the deaths of six children at a
Speaker 14: Tasmanian Primary School when the inflatable was blown into the air.
Speaker 14: Australian man Robert Pether has been released from an Iraqi jail.
Speaker 14: He's still on bail. Pether has always denied the charges
Speaker 14: of deception. The bromance between Donald Trump and Elon Musk
Speaker 14: is blowing up in spectacular fashion. Musk now suggesting the
Speaker 14: epstein haven't been released because the President is mentioned in them.
Speaker 14: And Operation snow Safe is underway. As the official ski
Speaker 14: season prepares to kick off. Police will be targeting anti
Speaker 14: social behavior, dangerous driving and risky behavior on the slopes
Speaker 14: in Sport. The West Australian Premiers welcome Malmaninger as the
Speaker 14: first head coach the Perth Bears. Premier Cook says Maninger's
Speaker 14: experience should ensure the Bears make a solid start when
Speaker 14: they entered the NRAL in twenty twenty seven. And there'll
Speaker 14: be more news at six o'clock.
Speaker 2: Aron fourteen degrees in the city eleven. In the west
Speaker 2: of the moment, traffic is fairly heavy on the M
Speaker 2: one heading towards the central coast from Sydney with the
Speaker 2: start of the long weekend. I should point out that
Speaker 2: both Gus and Matt are no fans of the cardboard
Speaker 2: straws the paper straws either. Maybe that was the problem
Speaker 2: between Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Maybe Elon Musk, because
Speaker 2: he has run an electric car company's environmentalist maybe he
Speaker 2: was a big supporter of the paper straws and the
Speaker 2: Trumpster didn't agree well.
Speaker 1: On Sydney. Now for Harvey Norman half yearly clearance shop laptops, mobiles, monitors,
Speaker 1: home security, earbuds and more in store and online, Harvey
Speaker 1: Norman half yearly Clearance, Best Prices Guarantee.
Speaker 2: Now there's been a video a Chinese paraglider stuck in
Speaker 2: the storm. It went viral this week on social media.
Speaker 2: It's been widely reported in his national media as well.
Speaker 2: His face was encrusted with ice and he'd said he'd
Speaker 2: been sucked into the upper atmosphere. Well, it's now been
Speaker 2: revealed the footage was a fake. It's a complete fake,
Speaker 2: generated by AI. I wanted to talk to Charlie Brown
Speaker 2: Ow to GB expert on this issue. Can it Charlie
Speaker 2: how Ay Clinton? It's pretty sophisticated now this stuff, isn't it?
Speaker 5: It is?
Speaker 21: This one has some Taltale signs with it. One minute
Speaker 21: the paraglider had a black helmet, next minute he had
Speaker 21: a white helmet that sort of pointed a few things
Speaker 21: out to people viewing a bit closely to thinking, hang
Speaker 21: on a second. The other thing was, one minute his
Speaker 21: legs are dang and the next minute they're in a
Speaker 21: pouch and you couldn't see And when the legs were dangling,
Speaker 21: you couldn't see the sign of any pouch. So what
Speaker 21: it points to is that as we progress, vision that
Speaker 21: we see floating, especially viral ly, is going to be
Speaker 21: harder and harder to tell whether it's legit. We will
Speaker 21: want things that are amazing to be real, but in
Speaker 21: some cases, like this one, they won't be. We have
Speaker 21: seen amazing vision come from AI robots already, but I
Speaker 21: would wager that the stuff that these robots are producing
Speaker 21: stuff even higher quality that just hasn't been released yet,
Speaker 21: so we haven't seen them. And that's partly to keep
Speaker 21: that technology close to their chest, so we don't know
Speaker 21: what it is, so their competitors don't know. But I
Speaker 21: think in the next couple of years is going to
Speaker 21: get even harder.
Speaker 2: So how does so somebody wants to pull a scam?
Speaker 2: Right somebody wants to out the fake out there on
Speaker 2: social media. So with AI, how do they do it?
Speaker 2: Is there a video program and then it has AI
Speaker 2: as a tool part of it, and somebody just types in,
Speaker 2: I want you to make a fake picture of a
Speaker 2: Chinese paraglider stuck in the store. That's one way.
Speaker 21: The other way is to start with a paraglider and
Speaker 21: a green in a green screen studio, have them all
Speaker 21: dressed up looking like a paraglider or almost looking like one,
Speaker 21: and then have the AI finish things off to look
Speaker 21: like to fill in the blank, so to speak, to
Speaker 21: make it look a lot more legitimate. Add in some
Speaker 21: wind effects or all.
Speaker 2: Those kinds of things.
Speaker 21: But at the end of the day we are still
Speaker 21: able to see the not the mistruths, if you like.
Speaker 2: But that's going to get harder as we go.
Speaker 21: Look, there's programs around for download where you can go
Speaker 21: and type in all sorts of ridiculous things you would
Speaker 21: like to see a video of, and it will go
Speaker 21: make a video or an image of. And some of
Speaker 21: them are quite ridiculous and comical, but you can still
Speaker 21: very very much tell that they are created by a computer.
Speaker 21: As we get all computing power. As the software gets
Speaker 21: more sophisticated, it's going to get harder.
Speaker 2: But this was a good one.
Speaker 21: I mean, this one got shared by some of the
Speaker 21: global media outlets as a legit thing, and then then
Speaker 21: it took some time, only a few days, but then
Speaker 21: it started getting pointed out, hang on, there's some indiscrepancies
Speaker 21: here to point out it's not legit.
Speaker 2: We've got some AI training sessions here at the station.
Speaker 2: I think it's later in the month. I just want
Speaker 2: one thing out of these training sessions. I'm going to
Speaker 2: ask a how can we get rid of paper straws?
Speaker 2: For surely AI can come up with solution to that. Now,
Speaker 2: what's on the show tomorrow.
Speaker 21: Well, we're going to talk with one of the big
Speaker 21: AI tech companies, Meta is coming on. They're going to
Speaker 21: talk to us about their smart glasses that they've got
Speaker 21: and the areas of the community that are being able
Speaker 21: to be enhanced or achieve a benefit from those.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that.
Speaker 21: Plus we're going to talk about smart door locks for
Speaker 21: your home, why you might get one, and how hard
Speaker 21: they are to install.
Speaker 5: If you do.
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll be listening from eight o'clock tomorrow Thank you, Charlie,
Speaker 2: thanks you. That's Charlie Brand Tomorrow eight o'clock on two
Speaker 2: GIBI Life and Technology on Sydney.

Speaker 1: You're listening to Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard on to
Speaker 1: gb com now one three one eight seven three.
Speaker 2: There's been some issues on Sydney's train network this afternoon,
Speaker 2: as is normal for a Friday, delays on the Leppington
Speaker 2: Inner West line due to an earlier medical incident at Guilford.
Speaker 2: Those delays should be easing by now, but we're also
Speaker 2: hearing about some other problems that what can you tell me,
Speaker 2: Jeff Clinton?
Speaker 26: Yeah, my wife was heading down to Queen Beyand from
Speaker 26: Central and she's on the platform now and they've delayed
Speaker 26: the train another forty five minutes. There's you to go
Speaker 26: about five plast five but I'm not sure about another
Speaker 26: forty five minutes before they're predicting when.
Speaker 13: She can leave.
Speaker 2: Okay, so she's heading down to Queenbing Camp camera this
Speaker 2: this may be related. There was a signal problem a
Speaker 2: little earlier at Central and I know it was delaying
Speaker 2: some of our listeners heading to Newcastle, so a different direction,
Speaker 2: but it could be I don't know for sure. It
Speaker 2: could be linked to that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're probably right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll try and find out from Transport for New
Speaker 2: South Wales. Thanks letting us know. So there was an
Speaker 2: issue about an hour ago with some signal problems at
Speaker 2: Central station. One of our listeners thinks was Dave, who
Speaker 2: was heading to Newcastle. This is the train heading from
Speaker 2: Central down to Queenby and Canberra facing some issues. We'll
Speaker 2: try and find out what's going on at Central Station.
Speaker 2: It's twenty to six one three one eight seven three.
Speaker 2: Rugby League is back. Hello MG, good afternoon, my friend.
Speaker 17: Are you you're looking resplendent today in your white bomber jacket?
Speaker 17: It looks awesome.
Speaker 2: Did you see the jacket I was wearing? What were
Speaker 2: looking on the I was watching you.
Speaker 17: I was watching you.
Speaker 5: I was spying on you earlier.
Speaker 17: I was watching you live on the cameras going to
Speaker 17: two GB and you're looking very warm and cozy and
Speaker 17: look like something out of a movie.
Speaker 2: Well, it was very cold this morning when I when
Speaker 2: I got out, it was it's cold in the shy.
Speaker 2: What was it like in Penrith it was look, it was.
Speaker 17: Said four degrees when I got this morning for a
Speaker 17: little brisk walk at about six thirty am and it
Speaker 17: felt like minus two. Who was freezing this morning?
Speaker 5: But it is winter.
Speaker 2: It is winter correct?
Speaker 21: Now?
Speaker 2: I say rugby league is back because last night it
Speaker 2: just showed how good rugby league is. That the comeback
Speaker 2: from Newcastle and I know both tip manly with a
Speaker 2: comeback from Newcastle the second half of that game.
Speaker 17: Wow, that's very indicative this season thus far, isn't it.
Speaker 17: I went, I must say, I'm going to pull my
Speaker 17: head up here. I went to bed at halftime stream
Speaker 17: nel you missed it. I wake up to my wife
Speaker 17: in bed, going no, I said, what happened? She goes,
Speaker 17: come on, pomer just scored in Golden Point.
Speaker 2: I said, what what it was? It was stunny.
Speaker 17: I don'tbelieva well it it was actually the twenty four
Speaker 17: hours of clutch moments because it was Pongo in the
Speaker 17: Golden Point. And then there was a soccer ruse over
Speaker 17: in Perth winning one nail against Japan someoney haven't beaten
Speaker 17: for sixteen years. And today in the NBA, the Pacers
Speaker 17: legend ty Reese Halliburton scored a buzzer beater to win
Speaker 17: one hundred and eleven or one hundred and ten as
Speaker 17: Major underdog. So it was quite the twenty four hours
Speaker 17: of clutch moments.
Speaker 2: Clinton, do you have a favorite clutch moment of all time?
Speaker 13: Oh?
Speaker 17: How can anyone go past Stephen Bradbury's.
Speaker 10: Going to come to and win gold Steven Bradby from.
Speaker 5: The tail of the film The Australian has crossed the
Speaker 5: line first.
Speaker 2: That's a bit of a clutch moment with a difference.
Speaker 2: Usually it's an absolute superstar of the sport. It just
Speaker 2: pulls out the field goal last moment. But that was Bradbury.
Speaker 17: That was unbelievable. Look, I've I've had a good chance
Speaker 17: to speak with I've been on the same card as
Speaker 17: him as speaking at Gainsment and he tells a fantastic
Speaker 17: story about how everyone judges him on that golden medal,
Speaker 17: but he said that was fourteen years before that, a
Speaker 17: broken neck and all that stuff that went on to it,
Speaker 17: and he said, there was my strategy to stay behind
Speaker 17: because I knew they'd be carnage.
Speaker 5: And you know what there was.
Speaker 17: And he is an absolute clutch man, is a legend.
Speaker 2: I don't know if this is a clutch moment. Maybe
Speaker 2: it falls into the category of the clutch moment, but
Speaker 2: Andrew Fefeede's try for my Sharks in the twenty sixteen
Speaker 2: Grand Final. Oh yeah, well he had he had like
Speaker 2: four Melbourne Storm players off the back of him and
Speaker 2: somehow he scored that put that ball down under the posts.
Speaker 17: They were never going to They're never going to lose
Speaker 17: that game, were they?
Speaker 5: That was a game.
Speaker 17: It was kind of like us in ninety one.
Speaker 2: In the last thirty seconds when Melbourne had the ball
Speaker 2: and threw it all over the place. I lose it.
Speaker 2: It's all right for you to say that, MG, I
Speaker 2: was the one in pain.
Speaker 5: I just look at your Facebook. That's exactly right.
Speaker 2: Just before we finished wrapping up on the last night's game,
Speaker 2: I spoke about this little earner in the program, Andrew
Speaker 2: Adam O'Brien, the coach of the Knights. He's now come
Speaker 2: out this afternoon. I'll play you this if you haven't
Speaker 2: heard it. He's actually apologized because last night after the match,
Speaker 2: there was some booing at halftime. He said, then I
Speaker 2: obviously know nothing about rugby league those who bo and
Speaker 2: he's there come out today and said this.
Speaker 7: I apologize unreservedly to our members and fans that I offended,
Speaker 7: and I can understand why they would be offended.
Speaker 17: I was.
Speaker 7: I'll be apologizing to the playing group as well for
Speaker 7: my comments because you know, they deserve to be reading
Speaker 7: a lot of other stuff today that that I took
Speaker 7: away from it.
Speaker 2: See, I don't like doing of your team, but I
Speaker 2: know player fans who pay them, he got a right
Speaker 2: to do it. I don't think he needed to apologize personally.
Speaker 17: Well, let's put it this way. He heard last night
Speaker 17: from reporters that you know, and what do you think
Speaker 17: about the doing? He kind of was on the back foot.
Speaker 17: I watched the press conference today when he said that.
Speaker 17: I think he was sticking up for his players. I
Speaker 17: will say that, but I don't think he can have
Speaker 17: a bag. The people who pay the money to walk
Speaker 17: through the gates and buy the jerseys and buy and
Speaker 17: sticking with that Newcastle faithful. They stick with that team.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, they do good bad, So I think they've.
Speaker 5: Got the right to bo.
Speaker 17: Look, I think he took it too personally, but I
Speaker 17: still think it was a fantastic victory.
Speaker 5: Well, it was one of my and he's right, And he's.
Speaker 17: Right because now we're talking about that instead of the
Speaker 17: great win from last night.
Speaker 2: One of our listeners was at the ground last night
Speaker 2: and he was telling me he reckons they weren't so
Speaker 2: much doing at the players are doing at him as O'Brien,
Speaker 2: because O'Brien's photo was up on the big screen at
Speaker 2: the time and look he's going through. You know, it's
Speaker 2: been pretty tough year for Adam O'Brien and has why
Speaker 2: listen to reckons they are billing towards him.
Speaker 17: Well, you know what if anything does happened to Adam
Speaker 17: O'Brien this year. In his contract and very smart contract
Speaker 17: that he signed about six months ago, he has to
Speaker 17: be paid fully if he get sacked. So he's got
Speaker 17: two years of pay coming his way to the warehouse.
Speaker 17: So I don't think he might It matters that much
Speaker 17: at the moment. Now.
Speaker 2: Last night's game featured the two fletchers who have these
Speaker 2: quite extraordinary mullets. But a man who has an amazing
Speaker 2: mullet is Josh Papali or Papaliki.
Speaker 17: Yes, and he will be playing his three hundred and
Speaker 17: nineteenth game this weekend for Camber Raiders, surpassing Jason Croker
Speaker 17: on three hundred and eighteen. What an amazing feat for
Speaker 17: Josh Papaalihy. He's been an ornament to the game. He's
Speaker 17: been through a good, bad and ugly. This is the
Speaker 17: rugby league. He's a powerhouse for Canberra. You know at
Speaker 17: thirty three, just turned thirty three years of age. He's
Speaker 17: kind of you get a feeling, Quentin that this is
Speaker 17: a year that you get the feelings that might be
Speaker 17: the Camberraider's year, you know, with a mix of youth
Speaker 17: and experience as well as his young kids coming through.
Speaker 17: And Rickie Stewart, the perennial, you know, the coach who
Speaker 17: just wants everything for his team. Yeah, look, it's going
Speaker 17: to be a great missun. Also, Adam Reynolds celebrates he's
Speaker 17: three hundred game, becoming the fifty fifth person in our
Speaker 17: game to reach three hundred games. So go on with
Speaker 17: Adam Reynolds as well.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's quickly whip through our tips starting tonight. The
Speaker 2: first game tonight not be a good game. This is
Speaker 2: the Storm up against the Cows.
Speaker 5: Yeah, look at.
Speaker 17: I don't know these days.
Speaker 5: Honestly, I really don't know.
Speaker 17: I'm going with Melbourne Storm because it's in Melbourne, but
Speaker 17: anything could happen with Melbourne.
Speaker 5: Yep.
Speaker 2: I'll go with Melbourne as well. The game will be
Speaker 2: calling on the Continuous Call team tonight, with leaving the
Speaker 2: Boys Dolphins up against the Dragons in Brisbane.
Speaker 17: Yeah, in Brisbane Dolphins, Yep, I'll.
Speaker 2: Go Dolphins there. Tomorrow the Kronella Sharks take on the
Speaker 2: New Zealand Warriors.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 17: We'll be live from this ground tomorrow from the Continuous
Speaker 17: Call team from one till five, and I'm betting on
Speaker 17: I'm backing the home team, the Sharkies.
Speaker 2: I will be backing the Sharks the reason.
Speaker 17: Hallelujah, brother, hallelujah.
Speaker 2: I'm going to the game and I don't want to
Speaker 2: offend any of the Sharks supporters there. I think the
Speaker 2: Warrior is a win, but I'm tipping the Sharks.
Speaker 5: Oh you can't say that now, you Jinx.
Speaker 17: You'r tell wow.
Speaker 2: To the Broncos up against the Titans.
Speaker 17: So has been sensationally dropped for this this game which
Speaker 17: couldn't really mount of origin contention. I think the Broncos
Speaker 17: will bounce back, but I don't know how can you
Speaker 17: back to the Broncos in the current climate. Bronco's for mine.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm tipping the Broncos as well. But I'm looking
Speaker 2: at the formal statement that's been put up on our
Speaker 2: website says I'm tipping the Titans. I'm sure not, don't.
Speaker 17: He's got the tits you put the Titans. I'm looking
Speaker 17: at it.
Speaker 2: You did, you can't. Okay. Camber versus South.
Speaker 17: Hi, Look at Josh Papola. He's milestone game. Camber won't lose.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. The Tiger's up against Penny Panthers.
Speaker 17: Penny Panthers.
Speaker 2: I'll go the Panthers and the Doggies up against the
Speaker 2: Eels on Monday.
Speaker 17: Yeah, lock one Galvin makes his the booth for the Doggies,
Speaker 17: and I think the Dogs will prevail over the Eels.
Speaker 2: Okay, we will hear you tomorrow on the Continuous Call
Speaker 2: to MMG.
Speaker 17: And I'll see you next Tuesday. Have a great long
Speaker 17: weekend and be safe and thank you the King for
Speaker 17: the holiday.

Speaker 2: No quiz is gonna be hard. One today, one, three,
Speaker 2: one eight seven three. The opposition is Susan Lee has
Speaker 2: spoken with my colleague Tom Elliott on three MW today
Speaker 2: and she's revealed the real reason she has an extra
Speaker 2: S in her name.
Speaker 27: I read that when you were younger, you added an
Speaker 27: extra S to the middle of your name, so Susan
Speaker 27: spelt convincedly it's now Subsam because of a belief in numerology,
Speaker 27: and I hope that doing so would make your life
Speaker 27: more interesting.
Speaker 2: Has that worked and will it?
Speaker 27: Will it guide future policy making under your watch?
Speaker 18: Well, it was a flippant remark that I made to
Speaker 18: a journalist. It's actually not the reason. It was something
Speaker 18: I did during my rebel teenage years. And you know
Speaker 18: I went through a punk phase in those years and
Speaker 18: added the extra S. So people have been fascinated by
Speaker 18: the numerology angle, but it's actually not correct.
Speaker 2: So it's because she used to be a punk.
