Speaker 1: Onto GV.
Speaker 2: This is Sydney now.
Speaker 3: With Clinton, Wednesday, May twenty seven three. It is Clinton
Speaker 3: maynar here, blue skies across Sydney the South and there
Speaker 3: is hardly a cloud in the sky. This must be
Speaker 3: an omen. This must be an omen. The Blues are
Speaker 3: going to win Origin one this evening. It's not under question. Okay, yes,
Speaker 3: the dust brought us orange skies yesterday. We've never had
Speaker 3: my own skies in Sydney, have we? So the Blues
Speaker 3: to win tonight. Coming up on the program, a three
Speaker 3: person panel set up to review Sydney's trains and the
Speaker 3: incident of last week. Day after day in the past week,
Speaker 3: we have had trains that have been a miss and
Speaker 3: good luck. If you caught the train today and you're
Speaker 3: trying to get home in time for Origin, all I
Speaker 3: can do is wish you the best of luck. I
Speaker 3: drove specifically because I want to be home in time
Speaker 3: to watch Origin tonight. I have a zero confidence the
Speaker 3: trains are to get me there. We'll talk about that.
Speaker 3: We are often warned at this time of the year
Speaker 3: about making false claims with deductions with our tax returns. Well,
Speaker 3: we're going to look at it from a different perspective today,
Speaker 3: what you should be claiming, what you can legitimately claim.
Speaker 3: Some research has been released that shows that we're doing
Speaker 3: ourselves out of five hundred dollars per year on average
Speaker 3: by not making the right deduction. So we'll look at that.
Speaker 3: Lucy Zelich joins me in studio to talk climate change.
Speaker 3: You want to hear what Lucy has to say. Plus
Speaker 3: MG Mark Guy alive in Brisbane. He'll preview origin for
Speaker 3: us and we might have a chat about his clash
Speaker 3: with Wally Lewis in nineteen ninety one. You are my
Speaker 3: eyes and ears when it's happening in Sydney now, so
Speaker 3: text me zero force zero eight seven three out seven
Speaker 3: three have you say one three one eight seven three?
Speaker 3: Well in Sydney now. The search is continuing for a
Speaker 3: man who is wanted by the police for questioning. In fact,
Speaker 3: they do have concerns for his welfare following a house
Speaker 3: fire in Croydon this morning which has claimed the life
Speaker 3: of an eighty year old man. Ted Grandam Superintendent Christy
Speaker 3: McDonald is heading up the investigation into the fire and
Speaker 3: the search for this man, who is Asian his fifties.
Speaker 3: A thank you a few times Superintendent.
Speaker 4: Thanks Clinton, thanks for having me on your show.
Speaker 3: You've got quite an extensive search now for this man.
Speaker 3: What can you tell us about him?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Thanks Clinton. Just after four am this morning, as
Speaker 4: you would already know, police and emergency services were called
Speaker 4: to a house fire in Aararra Street in Croydon. And
Speaker 4: what we know is that, sadly, the eighty year old
Speaker 4: man who you've mentioned was located inside that house deceased.
Speaker 4: We've got one elderly female from that residence studies assisting
Speaker 4: police with inquiries. We're not suspecting that she has any
Speaker 4: involvement in the fire itself, but very grateful that she's
Speaker 4: providing some assistance. But what we really need to do
Speaker 4: is we really need to locate this fifty year old man.
Speaker 4: A relative that resides at the location. We want to
Speaker 4: speak to him. We believe that he has information that
Speaker 4: will assist us greatly with his investigation.
Speaker 3: Now I know the man you're looking for. You just
Speaker 3: mentioned his relative. Your limited can say that the reports
Speaker 3: he is the couple's son. There will reports this morning, Superintendent,
Speaker 3: the fire is suspicious based on your investigation throughout the day,
Speaker 3: Is that still the case.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the case Clinton, I obviously wouldn't be saying
Speaker 4: that it's not suspicious. I do believe that this is suspicious,
Speaker 4: and we are treating it as so. We've established strikeforced
Speaker 4: Levier to investigate the circumstances of the fire and also
Speaker 4: the death of the eighty year old man. And I
Speaker 4: guess that that suggests to your listeners that this is
Speaker 4: an investigation that I'm taking very, very seriously.
Speaker 3: So the fifty year old man that you're looking for
Speaker 3: at the moment, what can you tell us about him?
Speaker 3: What does he look like? And where do you believe
Speaker 3: he's traveled.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Earlier this morning, when I conducted a press conference,
Speaker 4: I gave a very broad description male, fifty Caucasian, one
Speaker 4: hundred and ninety centimeters tool, medium to large build, with
Speaker 4: short brown hair. And I guess for your listeners, we
Speaker 4: all know a lot of people with that description. But
Speaker 4: I've been able, through investigation, been able to narrow that
Speaker 4: down even further. And he was last seen wearing a
Speaker 4: navy hoodie with a white New York Yankees logo on
Speaker 4: the front of that hoodie, blue denim jeans, and a
Speaker 4: black New York Yankees logo hat. And he was last
Speaker 4: seen in the like Art area, so that's where we're
Speaker 4: targeting our inquiries at this stage.
Speaker 3: Do you still believe he may have been using public
Speaker 3: transport Circular Key Watson's Bay as well.
Speaker 4: Yes, what we believe is that he is on foot
Speaker 4: and has been using public transport to get around. And
Speaker 4: we'd be asking anyone in the community if they do
Speaker 4: cite someone with matching that description, that they contact place immediately.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's quite a distinctive dress. He's now wearing the hoodie,
Speaker 3: the New York Yankees hoodie and the caps. So hopefully
Speaker 3: we do find him. Thank you a few times, Superintendent,
Speaker 3: Thanks Clinton, Superintendent Christine McDonald. So this is police believe
Speaker 3: they deliberately lit fine in Croydon this morning. It has
Speaker 3: claimed the life of eighty year old Ted Grantham. Police
Speaker 3: are looking for his son. They believe he is dressed
Speaker 3: in the New York Yankees hoodie. He's a fifty year
Speaker 3: old man wearing a New York Yankees logo hat. It's
Speaker 3: believed he has been sighted in Theikehart area. If you
Speaker 3: have any information, please contact the police.
Speaker 1: If it matters to you, you'll hear it here. Sydney
Speaker 1: Now with Clinton Maynard until six.
Speaker 3: Twelve past three. Well, the coalition, the Liberal and the
Speaker 3: National Parties are finally back together.
Speaker 1: Sat for GG.
Speaker 3: Susan Lee wants David Little Proud backed for Good and
Speaker 3: together they have stood in front of the cameras in
Speaker 3: Canberra unveiling the new shadow cabinet. And this is raising
Speaker 3: a few eyebrows, particularly within the Liberal Party, not necessarily
Speaker 3: who's been given significant portfolios, but those who have been
Speaker 3: left out. Now, just from the outset, I should point
Speaker 3: out these are shadow ministries. So these are jobs that
Speaker 3: don't mean decisions are made by these particular politicians on
Speaker 3: our behalf. These are jobs basically for politicians to criticize
Speaker 3: the ministers that are currently in power. And that's an
Speaker 3: important role because it keeps them, holds them to account.
Speaker 3: But just bear in mind there's a lot of excitement
Speaker 3: about the shadow ministry. These people have zero power. Just
Speaker 3: remember that. However, there are some significant appointments here. So
Speaker 3: Ted O'Brien, who is the Deputy Liberal Leader, the deputy
Speaker 3: leader of the opposition, he is allowed to choose his
Speaker 3: own portfolio, so he becomes the shadow Treasurer. That means
Speaker 3: Angus Taylor. And there was some speculation that Angus Taylor
Speaker 3: would move to the back bench. Well, basically the Liberals
Speaker 3: don't have enough members to fill the back bench, so no,
Speaker 3: he will be maining part of cabinet. He will be
Speaker 3: the Shadow Defense Minister. Dan Tiyen is the Shadow Minister
Speaker 3: for Energy and emissions reduction and obviously that is an
Speaker 3: important issue going forward. Michaulia Cash is the Shadow Foreign
Speaker 3: Affairs Minister. David Little Prest of course, who is now
Speaker 3: back in love with Susan Lee. He holds the portfolios
Speaker 3: of Environment, Water, Fisheries and Forestry along with Agriculture Tim
Speaker 3: Wilson who is just returning to partner after winning Goldstein.
Speaker 3: He is the Shadow Minister for Industrial Relations and Employment.
Speaker 3: Jane Hume has been given the acts now she was
Speaker 3: the shadow Finance Minister, and this could be interpreted as
Speaker 3: where the blame lays for the election campaign failures. Many
Speaker 3: within the Liberal Party point of the finger at those
Speaker 3: who are in control of the financial portfolios, so Treasury
Speaker 3: and Finance. That was Angus Taylor and Jane Hume. So
Speaker 3: Jane Hume has been boned. No Barnaby Joyce, no Michael McCormack.
Speaker 3: But there are some interesting decisions that have been made,
Speaker 3: including the appointment of Gizill Capterian.
Speaker 5: Subject to the outcome of a vote in Bradfield, Gizell
Speaker 5: Capterian will be appointed a Shadow Assistant Minister for Communications,
Speaker 5: Shadow Assistant Minister for Technology and for Digital Economy. Jizell's
Speaker 5: appointment is a vote of confidence in the future of
Speaker 5: women in our party and it's a clear message to
Speaker 5: communities like Bradfield that if you support your local Liberal member,
Speaker 5: they will have a direct say in the decisions that
Speaker 5: change the direction of this country.
Speaker 3: But there is an asterisk next to her name because
Speaker 3: she has not yet been confirmed in that seat. The
Speaker 3: recount is continuing now. My information is around twenty two
Speaker 3: thousand votes have been recounted of a total of ninety
Speaker 3: six thousand in Bradfield. Giselle capped here in is in
Speaker 3: front of the Teal candidate, but only by five votes,
Speaker 3: and the gap is actually narrowed in the past twenty
Speaker 3: four hours, so it's still going to be probably it's
Speaker 3: going to be given how fast the Electoral Commission works
Speaker 3: another week or so before we know that. But she
Speaker 3: has been given that Shadow Assistant Communications role. Center Price
Speaker 3: has effectively been demoted now. She was the Shadow Indigenous
Speaker 3: Affairs Minister in the last parliament and that's a shadow
Speaker 3: cabinet position. She now moves to the outer ministry, so
Speaker 3: she's not part of shadow cabinet, part of the senior team. Effectively,
Speaker 3: she will hold the position as Shadow Minister for Defense
Speaker 3: Industries and Susan Lee says she has had a justification.
Speaker 3: She has had a decent chat with Giselle.
Speaker 5: I spoke to Jacinta yesterday about her new appointment. She's
Speaker 5: very excited to take it up. There is no more
Speaker 5: important area than safety, national security and defense, and you
Speaker 5: will see a great profiling of defense under Angus Taylor
Speaker 5: as we go forward in this term of opposition. And
Speaker 5: I'm delighted that Jacinta is taking up what is a
Speaker 5: really vital role and her style of communication, her relationship
Speaker 5: with Australian people will be incredibly valuable.
Speaker 3: So she is delighted. But she is actually moving down
Speaker 3: the ladder effectively. Look, there's a lot of argie bargie
Speaker 3: going on within the coalition. In the end, she is
Speaker 3: still going to be part of the team, but she's
Speaker 3: downgraded somewhat. But the good news is the Nationals and
Speaker 3: the Liberals are back together again.
Speaker 6: Yes, it's never.
Speaker 3: It's never over in politics, particularly when both sides realize
Speaker 3: they need each other. Seventeen past three State of Origin
Speaker 3: one tonight, sun Corps Stadium, New South Wales up against Queensland.
Speaker 3: You'll hear full coverage here on the Continuous Call team,
Speaker 3: with Mark Leevy calling his first Origin match, of course,
Speaker 3: broadcast on nine as well. James Wilson nine, new Sydney
Speaker 3: based reporter, is very brave because he's from Sydney and
Speaker 3: he's traveled to Queensland to cover the game. Hello James,
Speaker 3: Hello Clinton, how are you? You are a New South Welshman?
Speaker 3: What are you doing in Queensland?
Speaker 7: Very very proud New South Welshman. I am here to
Speaker 7: absolutely stick it to the Queenslanders and hopefully see the
Speaker 7: Blues get up in game one.
Speaker 3: I am concerned about your personal safety. Have you been
Speaker 3: to Caston Street yet?
Speaker 7: I've cleared it with HR. I am on Caxton Street
Speaker 7: right now.
Speaker 8: I've got my eyes on.
Speaker 7: The beautiful Catching Hotel and I'm happy to report that
Speaker 7: it is currently He's being here, getting busier by the minute,
Speaker 7: and lots of Blues jerseys as well. In fact, so
Speaker 7: good to see our proud New Welshman representing here in
Speaker 7: the northern state. There's plenty of Bogans on this streets.
Speaker 7: I'll tell you what I run into. One of the
Speaker 7: biggest ones of all. He goes by the name of
Speaker 7: Peter Vegan. He's the four BC Rector's presenter. He told
Speaker 7: me to say get eighty and quintin. He said he's
Speaker 7: on his way to get up his face painted, so
Speaker 7: it'll be a pretty interesting look for us. Beaks a
Speaker 7: bit later on.
Speaker 3: Peter Veig and one of the biggest bargains of them all.
Speaker 3: What is the vibe is? I get the Queenslanders be confident,
Speaker 3: but origin means so much. The Queensland is in particular.
Speaker 7: Of course, and not everybody who's come to Brisbane, whether
Speaker 7: it's the Magic Round or State of Origin or just
Speaker 7: for a Broncos game, they do get They do get
Speaker 7: footy up here. They love it, They live and breathe
Speaker 7: it and they do the rugby League party is better
Speaker 7: than anybody and catch the street. He's really the mecha
Speaker 7: of all of that. There's over fifty thousand people going
Speaker 7: to go to Suncorp tonight and a lot of them
Speaker 7: come here before the game. The traffic is still moving here,
Speaker 7: but in the next hour or so we're going to
Speaker 7: fee the street shut down and it'll just be startings
Speaker 7: as everybody drinks and gets ready for the game. One
Speaker 7: series open. I down at Suncorp but there's going about
Speaker 7: one hundred meet scattered right. It's a cracking venue down.
Speaker 3: It is a brillen venue and even though it's in Brisbane,
Speaker 3: we still love it. James will see you on nineties tonight.
Speaker 3: James Wilson covering State of Origin one. Five teenagers are
Speaker 3: before the courts in new Castle following allegations of theft, car,
Speaker 3: theft traffic offenses. But it's when I tell you the
Speaker 3: ages and when I tell you what's happened in the
Speaker 3: past is what's going to raise the alarm. So this
Speaker 3: is related to events that unfolded yesterday and also on Monday,
Speaker 3: where three vehicles were stolen during two break and enters
Speaker 3: in the Hunter Valley, including Katara South. Police were patrolling
Speaker 3: the local area they sighted one of these vehicles that
Speaker 3: had been reported as being stolen. Police then did a
Speaker 3: quick U turn and approached the vehicle. There were five
Speaker 3: teenagers inside the car. Three then jumped and started running away.
Speaker 3: Eventually police made arrests. They managed to arrest five teenagers.
Speaker 3: When I say teenagers, we're talking young teenagers. Fourteen year
Speaker 3: old and fifteen year old boys and then another two
Speaker 3: fourteen year old's boy and a girl fourteen fifteen year olds.
Speaker 3: The alleged driver fifteen charged with nine offenses, including using
Speaker 3: an offensive weapon to prevent lawful detention, another fifteen charged
Speaker 3: with eight offences, including aggravated break and enter. A fourteen
Speaker 3: year old charge with seven offenses. But this is what
Speaker 3: jumps out of me. The fourteen and fifteen year old
Speaker 3: boys those serious charges including break and enter, but a
Speaker 3: boy and a girl, both age fourteen, were charged with
Speaker 3: alleged breaches of bail. Two other fourteen year olds charged
Speaker 3: with breaches of bail. And this is a continuing problem,
Speaker 3: despite the government promising us that they're going to get
Speaker 3: tough when it comes to bail laws. We see this
Speaker 3: on an almost weekly basis that police tell us about
Speaker 3: the arrests of teenagers and they detail serious charges such
Speaker 3: as break and enters, carthef using weapons to threaten police,
Speaker 3: and then you see at the bottom of the detail
Speaker 3: alleged breaches of bail. So when governments tell you we're
Speaker 3: getting tough on bail, just remember in the end, it's
Speaker 3: not up to the government. It's up to magistrates who
Speaker 3: actually make the decision of whether they're going to release
Speaker 3: these teenagers, and too often they do. One seven three.
Speaker 3: Who are you tipping in the origin tonight? One three
Speaker 3: one eight seven three Let me know, hello, Zach, mate,
Speaker 3: good Zach. The Blues or the Marons? Course, why the
Speaker 3: Blue is going to win?
Speaker 9: I just hate them?
Speaker 10: Read next, mate, that's.
Speaker 3: A bit rough, and I know they've got two heads,
Speaker 3: but that's a bit rough. Thank you, Zach. A question
Speaker 3: here from Trevor. Has Bridget mackenzie been dumped from shadow
Speaker 3: Cabinet to the Nationals Senate? Lyd No, she hasn't. So
Speaker 3: Bridget mackenzie does retain a senior position. Her position is
Speaker 3: Shadow Minister for Infrastructure, Transport Regional Development and also she'll
Speaker 3: be Shadow Minister for the has been Saturday Minister for Infrastructure,
Speaker 3: Transport and Regional Development and she is Leader of the
Speaker 3: Nationals in the Senate. But this is causing a fair
Speaker 3: bit of angst within the Liberal Party itself. I've just
Speaker 3: been sent a message and this is from a female
Speaker 3: within the Liberal Party, and she says it's incredibly disappointing
Speaker 3: to see women like Jane Hume and Clear Chandler dumped
Speaker 3: as a woman in the Liberal Party. This is disheartening.
Speaker 3: I've been extremely optimistic that Susan Lee would be different.
Speaker 3: So just because Susan Lee is female doesn't mean that
Speaker 3: all female members of the Liberal Party approve of what
Speaker 3: she's doing. So Jane Hume gone, chair, Clear Chandler is
Speaker 3: also gone, and that seems he causing a fair bit
Speaker 3: of anks right now. And good afternoon, Josh Bryce.
Speaker 11: Good afternoon.
Speaker 12: Clinton detectives following multiple lines of inquiry as they investigate
Speaker 12: the cause of a deadly house fire in Sydney's in
Speaker 12: a West. A man is missing after the blaze which
Speaker 12: killed an eighty year old at Croydon. Some economists are
Speaker 12: confident there is still room for movement on interest rates,
Speaker 12: as the latest inflation figures show inflation remains steady for
Speaker 12: another month. A legal challenge against Newington College going co
Speaker 12: ed has been dealt a significant blow in court, with
Speaker 12: a judge ruling the term youth in the school's trusteed
Speaker 12: is gender neutral and a dairy free baby formula is
Speaker 12: being recalled due to incorrect feeding labels. The Coco two
Speaker 12: Infant Formula Stage one follow On Stage two and Toddler
Speaker 12: Stage products in eight hundred gram sizes have the incorrect
Speaker 12: scoop size and labeling errors. And in sport, Emerging Wartars
Speaker 12: playmaker Jack Bowen's been promoted to the starting side for
Speaker 12: Saturday's must win clash with the Blues in Auckland. He'll
Speaker 12: play fly half as the Tars strive to keep their
Speaker 12: faint Rugby hopes Final Rugby Finals hopes alive.
Speaker 11: We'll have more news in sport at full.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Josh, twenty degrees on the coast, eighteen degrees
Speaker 3: in Terry Hills, the moment Lucy Zielich coming up in
Speaker 3: the second hour of the program. Murray Watt has made
Speaker 3: his first major Thesay decision since he was appointed the
Speaker 3: Environment Minister. He has today decided to continue granting approval
Speaker 3: for the Northwest Shelf Oil and Gas project to continue,
Speaker 3: so effectively they have a license for another forty five years.
Speaker 3: This is owned by Woodside Or. It's operated by Woodside Energy,
Speaker 3: one of the biggest oil and gas companies in the country.
Speaker 3: It is a joint venture in Wa, a network of
Speaker 3: offshore gas riling facilities and also the Karatha Gas processing plant.
Speaker 3: It has been producing LNG liquefied natural gas since the
Speaker 3: nineteen eighties. But the approval was due to expire in
Speaker 3: twenty thirty, so really five years away. So this is
Speaker 3: a significant decision. So despite the fact that the Albanezy government
Speaker 3: went to the election promising net zero by twenty fifty
Speaker 3: and the end of fossil fuels, they obviously realize that
Speaker 3: we still need access to fossil fuels. So the project
Speaker 3: has been extended by forty five years.
Speaker 1: If it's happening in Sydney, you'll.
Speaker 2: Hear it on Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard on two G.
Speaker 3: If you've got to send a text message zero force
Speaker 3: zero eight seven three eight seven three. Now. Just talking
Speaker 3: about the makeup of Susan Lee's new front bench and
Speaker 3: the number of women who are in different portfolios. Anthony
Speaker 3: Albernizi has decided to have a bit of a kick
Speaker 3: at the Liberals today.
Speaker 13: Just a fun fact that's been drawding to my attention
Speaker 13: is that there are more women whose name begins with
Speaker 13: A in the Labor Party caucus in the House of Representatives. Ten,
Speaker 13: then there will be nine coalition women on the floor
Speaker 13: of the House of Representatives in the Liberal Party and
Speaker 13: the National Party, combined with Anika here, Ann Lee, Ailey
Speaker 13: France who's here, Alisha Payne, Alice Jordan Baird, ash Amberjapaha
Speaker 13: and Stanley Allison Burns, Anne Urkhart and Amanda Rishworth.
Speaker 3: So really we're now pointing out the number of women
Speaker 3: whose names start with the letter A in the labor team.
Speaker 3: Lucy's Elich will join me after four p thirty. I'll
Speaker 3: get her views on that one. Definitely. Hurdis Hugh Jacksonan's
Speaker 3: now X well about to be formally X has released
Speaker 3: a statement that well very much says a lot about
Speaker 3: the state of their marriage in the final years. Peter Ford,
Speaker 3: our entertainment correspondent, joins us Sale.
Speaker 10: Peter, Yeah, well, it's quite a surprise, actually, Clinton to
Speaker 10: see this statement that's come out, because the day began
Speaker 10: with the news that Deborah Lee had filed for divorce.
Speaker 10: Everything has been sorted out. There's obviously a lot of
Speaker 10: money involved.
Speaker 9: I think that the rough.
Speaker 10: Estimate is about three hundred and seventy two million dollars
Speaker 10: and one of the big stumbling blocks to solve in
Speaker 10: all this was the fact that what about royalties. You know,
Speaker 10: he's going to continue to get royalties for Wolverine X
Speaker 10: Man the Greatest Showman. Does she have an entitlement to
Speaker 10: those moving forward? She was around obviously when that worked
Speaker 10: was done, when the contracts were signed. Does she have
Speaker 10: an entitlement? So that's all sorted.
Speaker 9: And then lo and behold.
Speaker 10: Quite late this morning a statement came out from Deborah
Speaker 10: Le that I think said quite a lot. I'll just
Speaker 10: read you some parts of it. The first part is
Speaker 10: my heart and compassion go out to everyone who has
Speaker 10: traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal. Now, that obviously is
Speaker 10: the word that's going to jump out and is going
Speaker 10: to become the headline. It's a profound wound that cuts deep. However,
Speaker 10: I believe in a higher power and that God, the universe,
Speaker 10: whatever you relate to as your guidance is all always
Speaker 10: working for us. It can hurt, but in the long run,
Speaker 10: returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values
Speaker 10: and boundaries is liberation and freedom. So she's trying to,
Speaker 10: I think, think positive things, but it's very clear that
Speaker 10: she is being wounded and hurt by what happened, and
Speaker 10: by using that word betrayal almost confirms the reports that
Speaker 10: went around that you took up with Sutton Foster while
Speaker 10: they were both performing on stage in The Music Man,
Speaker 10: and while dev Believe was obviously still his wife.
Speaker 3: There's an extraordinary amount of money here at stake. I
Speaker 3: didn't realize when you mentioned that figure. Three hundred and
Speaker 3: seventy two million dollars. That's effectively how much the couple's worth.
Speaker 10: Yeah, and has to say, ongoing royalties are going to
Speaker 10: be coming and from things he's done, even if he
Speaker 10: never works again. So look, she will be well and
Speaker 10: truly looked after as she should be. She is a
Speaker 10: very wealthy woman, so moving forward, I mean, she certainly
Speaker 10: doesn't have to work if she doesn't want to. But
Speaker 10: she's a very talent woman as a director and as
Speaker 10: an actress, so she may choose that she wants to
Speaker 10: do that. She's seventy this year, so that can be
Speaker 10: limiting in choices that are open to you. I do
Speaker 10: still get a kick when I hear this amount of
Speaker 10: money that there worth. I mean, the apartment in Manhattan
Speaker 10: alone is worth fifty two million dollars Because I remember
Speaker 10: this is going back a long time ago. I did
Speaker 10: the very first interview with Jackman. He'd never given an
Speaker 10: interview to anybody, and he got cast in Beauty and
Speaker 10: the Beast musical in Melbourne and nobody knew him at all.
Speaker 10: But he was already filming Corelli, which is the TV
Speaker 10: show that Deblie was the star of, and that's where
Speaker 10: they're met and their romance began. But after I did
Speaker 10: this interview with them, he said to me, oh, could
Speaker 10: you get me a VHS copy of that? And that's
Speaker 10: how far back we're going, And he said, I said, yeah, sure,
Speaker 10: I gave you my phone number. I said give me
Speaker 10: a call next week and I'll get it to you.
Speaker 10: And sure, and I think wrang me a couple of
Speaker 10: days later, almost in tears because he'd been in a taxi.
Speaker 10: He had a corporate gig coming up, his first ever
Speaker 10: corporate gig, singing at a business function, and he'd left
Speaker 10: his suit behind in the taxi and he said, oh,
Speaker 10: can you go on through ow? Will they let me
Speaker 10: go on? And I can offer a fifty dollars reward
Speaker 10: if they will get my suit back to me, because
Speaker 10: I haven't got another one and I can't afford to
Speaker 10: buy a new one. So long story short, we got
Speaker 10: him his suit sack, but you know that was a
Speaker 10: from Tari Tony Barlow's. It might have been worth two
Speaker 10: hundred tops. And now we're talking about you know, fifty
Speaker 10: million dollar apartments.
Speaker 3: Oh you can afford it. Now, is this going to
Speaker 3: hurt his career? Do you think?
Speaker 10: I look at the dent. I don't think it will
Speaker 10: kill it, unless Deborah Lee is going to go on
Speaker 10: some kind of campaign, which I.
Speaker 9: Don't think she will.
Speaker 10: Although it was interesting that she gave that statement to
Speaker 10: the Daily Mail as an exclusive. That's an interesting one.
Speaker 9: There's lots of.
Speaker 10: Outlets and publications she could have given it too, But
Speaker 10: I don't think she will be doing that. That's not
Speaker 10: to say she wanted to address it again, but I
Speaker 10: don't think she's going to go on a rampage. But yes,
Speaker 10: I think there is the potential for some damage to
Speaker 10: Hughes reputation, which has always been squeaky clean. He's never
Speaker 10: had bad publicity. That suddenly, you know, Deborah is confirming
Speaker 10: that he was having an affair behind her back. That's
Speaker 10: not good and deb is greatly respected you know, I
Speaker 10: don't forget the work she's done through the years in
Speaker 10: that space of adoptions into Australia, and she's very well
Speaker 10: respected by women for that work. So yeah, as I say,
Speaker 10: it's a dent, but I don't think it's a career killer.
Speaker 3: Pete will talk tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Thanks Clinton, Peter Ford until six.
Speaker 2: This is Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard on two GB
Speaker 2: call now one three one eight seven three.
Speaker 3: There's an operation continuing off Sydney's northern beaches as a
Speaker 3: search continues for a missing man who disappeared from Mona Vale.
Speaker 3: Emir Etimadi, who is a twenty eight year old, was
Speaker 3: last seen on Monavale Beach eleven o'clock yesterday morning. He
Speaker 3: can't be found, so police have begun a formal investigation
Speaker 3: and a search. Now. They're being assisted by Marine Rescue
Speaker 3: New South Wales. They're using three vessels that are searching
Speaker 3: an area off Monaval Beach between Monaval Headland and a
Speaker 3: little further north. The conditions are actually reasonably good for
Speaker 3: an offshore search at the moment. So far they have
Speaker 3: not found sign of the man, but they believe he
Speaker 3: potentially went into the water. Twenty eight year old Amir
Speaker 3: itter Mardi. He is known to frequent the Northern Beaches
Speaker 3: but also Pimble. A passer by located clothing and property
Speaker 3: they believe is owned by Emir. That's why they've entered
Speaker 3: the water, but's so far, despite this day long search,
Speaker 3: they haven't found a sign of him within the water.
Speaker 3: This news just to hand the state government's order to
Speaker 3: review into the way selective high school testing was conducted
Speaker 3: a few weeks ago. You'll know we reported about this
Speaker 3: throughout the afternoon when there was a big drama. It
Speaker 3: was at Canry Racecourse where thousands of students were sitting
Speaker 3: both OC testing Opportunity class within primary schools but then
Speaker 3: selective high school tests and there was basically a crowd
Speaker 3: crush as students were coming and going. It was a
Speaker 3: complete and utter mess. But there's also been reports of
Speaker 3: issues at round It Racecourse where other tests were being conducted,
Speaker 3: and Sydney Olympic Park. I have received messages from some
Speaker 3: parents that there had been rumors of cheating. Now I've
Speaker 3: checked that with the Department of Education. They say they
Speaker 3: don't have that information. But there seems to be a
Speaker 3: lot of concern about the way these tests have been conducted,
Speaker 3: so formally pro resort in an independent review into the
Speaker 3: administration of both the Opportunity Class and the selective high
Speaker 3: school testing after the disruptions affected twenty thousand tests because
Speaker 3: tests were postponed. A respected academic will actually lead this review.
Speaker 3: We'll examine how these tests were conducted. Rescheduled tests were
Speaker 3: held last weekend and the weekend before, So that's now done.
Speaker 3: But what they need to ensure is there isn't a
Speaker 3: repeat of this next year. Now it might seem not
Speaker 3: the biggest issue in the world, but if you've got
Speaker 3: a child who's finishing primary school and has ambitions to
Speaker 3: get into a selective high school, or you want your
Speaker 3: child to get into a selective high school, if suddenly
Speaker 3: they're in this position where they're completely disrupted with their test,
Speaker 3: just psychologically, you're not in exactly the best headspace to
Speaker 3: complete this style of testing. So it's important that this
Speaker 3: isn't repeated and it can be sorted out by the
Speaker 3: state government. Thirteen to four. There was news this week
Speaker 3: that in New Zealand, teen year old died participating in
Speaker 3: a new social media trend. This is a craze called
Speaker 3: run it Straight. This is basically when two people charged
Speaker 3: each other at full speed, effectively they want to knock
Speaker 3: each other over, sometimes with their head knock. There was
Speaker 3: a video and there's a bit of drama last week
Speaker 3: about Reese Walsh, the Brisbane Broncos fullback superstar player, and
Speaker 3: on social media there was a video that circulated with
Speaker 3: Reese Walsh with a big boxing glove on but punching
Speaker 3: his friend in the head. And this is a similar
Speaker 3: and it went on viral on social media, and it's
Speaker 3: a similar craze that a lot of teenagers are taking
Speaker 3: part in at the moment. Well run it straight can
Speaker 3: be quite dangerous obviously, in this case it's led to
Speaker 3: a fatality. New Zealand Police averged anyone thinking of taking
Speaker 3: part in this game or this event to consider the
Speaker 3: safety and the injury risks. And this is also part
Speaker 3: of how social media is being used. People will do
Speaker 3: crazy things on social media, put it up on Instagram,
Speaker 3: other formats TikTok to attract likes. The crazier, the more daring,
Speaker 3: the more dangerous, the better. And this is one example.
Speaker 3: Headsafe is a Sydney organization specializing in brain health technology
Speaker 3: and they're committed to to improving what we know about concussion.
Speaker 3: Doctor Adrian Cohen is a concussion expert. He is the
Speaker 3: founder of the CEO of head Safe and he joins me,
Speaker 3: thank you for your time. Doctor.
Speaker 14: You are always welcome to em What do you.
Speaker 3: Know about this? This Run It Straight craze.
Speaker 15: All was started as a activity designed to get a
Speaker 15: crowd together, offer some prize money and have a competition.
Speaker 15: It's previewed in Melbourne a couple of weeks ago. This
Speaker 15: is the first time a competition was held in New
Speaker 15: Zealand just last week and predictably, and I'm going to
Speaker 15: use that word advisably predictably it's been emulated by kids
Speaker 15: in playgrounds. But there's a difference.
Speaker 14: You know, this is not a grown up version of
Speaker 14: playground sport. You go home to mom and dad after
Speaker 14: playground sport die as a result.
Speaker 3: And tragically that's what unfolded this week in New Zealand
Speaker 3: with the nineteen year old so running at each other straight.
Speaker 3: It has the effect of two heads colliding. What effect
Speaker 3: does that have? What's happening inside the skull?
Speaker 14: Well, you know you've only got one brain, You've got
Speaker 14: two hamstricks to biceps, two hips, you can injure either
Speaker 14: of those. You only got You're never going to get
Speaker 14: more than one brain. You injure it, and that's it.
Speaker 14: In this kind of activity. It's designed to emulate our
Speaker 14: tackle sports on rugby league and rugby union. So sometimes
Speaker 14: they give one of the players at ball the participants,
Speaker 14: he runs at the other one. He's got to effect
Speaker 14: the tackle them and the organizers will say things like, oh,
Speaker 14: you know, we tell them they've got a hit between
Speaker 14: the shoulders and the hips. There's no guarantee that's going
Speaker 14: to happen. There's not a lot of refereeing out there,
Speaker 14: let's face it, and with outlawed hit to the heavy
Speaker 14: league and union, but it can still happen in this sport. Actually,
Speaker 14: sports the wrong word. This isn't a sport. This is
Speaker 14: an activity whose sole purpose is designed to create a
Speaker 14: brain injury to knock the other person out. It's not
Speaker 14: a mild head knock. It's not being knocked over, it's
Speaker 14: not a bit of fun. It's not another hit and giggle.
Speaker 14: It's a hit and don't get up.
Speaker 3: And that's the difference between sport. Now. Adrian, I'm a
Speaker 3: big rugby league fan. We talk about rugby league on
Speaker 3: this station all the time, Rugby union as well AFL.
Speaker 3: But at least in these sports they seem to now
Speaker 3: be taking concussion seriously. There is the HIA process in
Speaker 3: rugby league, but I'm assuming with run it straight there
Speaker 3: is no process.
Speaker 1: There's no protocol, there's no protocol, there's no rules.
Speaker 14: It's completely lawless. It's the wild West, and that's part
Speaker 14: of the problem. This isn't going to be regulated anytime
Speaker 14: soon because it's not actually a sport. I hope to
Speaker 14: sit on the new South Flalest Combat Sports Authority, and
Speaker 14: we discussed this the other night. It's not a combat sport.
Speaker 14: It's not boxing or taekwondo or MMA. It's just come
Speaker 14: out of the idea that this is a good blood
Speaker 14: sport spectacle and that we can draw a crowd and
Speaker 14: a couple of players walk way with money. In fact,
Speaker 14: the winner walks away with money. Everybody else goes home
Speaker 14: potentially but suffers the long term consequences. So even if
Speaker 14: they don't win, even if they don't get knocked out,
Speaker 14: even if they only get knocked down five or ten
Speaker 14: times during the one afternoon, we all know what sort
Speaker 14: of damage that is.
Speaker 3: Causing contact sports like rugby league, union, AFL and the
Speaker 3: combat sports that you mentioned there. Do you think they're
Speaker 3: now doing enough to prevent concussion or is it just
Speaker 3: a reality that they are contact sports. It's going to
Speaker 3: come with the territory.
Speaker 14: I think the second part is right. It does come
Speaker 14: with the territory. But they're doing increasing amounts to recognize
Speaker 14: this when it happens, to have rules that outlaw it,
Speaker 14: to get players out of harm's way after they've stuff
Speaker 14: for a concussion, and to not let them return to
Speaker 14: their better So without changing the fabric of the sports
Speaker 14: that we enjoy as a society, they're doing the best
Speaker 14: they can to understand that these things are going to happen.
Speaker 14: That's not the aim of rugby league, rugby union and AFL.
Speaker 14: It's a byproduct, and it's a byproduct of large people
Speaker 14: in motion running at each other. And when you and
Speaker 14: I went to school, energy called half mv squared and
Speaker 14: the mass is bigger than it was in the velocity greater,
Speaker 14: and therefore the energy in every collision is more activity. Fight,
Speaker 14: run it or this ridiculous American thing power slap. They're
Speaker 14: just designed to cause injury and as a civilized society.
Speaker 14: They had no place yet.
Speaker 3: I'm with you. Thank you for your time, doctor, and
Speaker 3: you're insight. Always welcome, doctor Adrin Cohen, who is the
Speaker 3: founder of Headsafe. It's significant difference between what this is
Speaker 3: all about in rugby league football rugby union AFL. As
Speaker 3: the doctor rightly pointed out, the aim of rugby league
Speaker 3: is to score a try. Rugby union to score a
Speaker 3: try AFIL to kick goals and as a consequence there
Speaker 3: are collisions and that's that's part of it. But the
Speaker 3: aim of run it straight is actually knock off the opponent.
Speaker 3: Knock out the opponent by running it as hard as possible.
Speaker 3: And it's all driven by social media. And we see
Speaker 3: the danger's social media caused it to our young people
Speaker 3: all over the place in so many different areas. This
Speaker 3: is another example. If you've got a view on this,
Speaker 3: let me know one one eight seven three, coming up
Speaker 3: to the four o'clock news three to four. I need
Speaker 3: your help on this one. We are getting some reports
Speaker 3: of shaking, potentially an earth tremor or even an earthquake
Speaker 3: around the app In area so southwest of Sydney, So
Speaker 3: give me a call seven three if you're in the Southwest.
Speaker 3: If you're around Appen on the outskirts, have you felt anything.
Speaker 3: We'll get in contact and have a look with Geoscience
Speaker 3: Australia in a moment whether anything has been measured on
Speaker 3: their equipment. But there are some reports. We're just hearing
Speaker 3: these early reports and some shaking in the Appen area,
Speaker 3: potentially an earthquake. Word in the street is thanks to temper.
Speaker 3: A great night's sleep night after night. The difference is temper.
Speaker 3: Matt's come across a drama on the roads. Good a Matt?
Speaker 3: Where are you mate?
Speaker 8: Hey?
Speaker 15: Clinton?
Speaker 2: I just want to let you know that there was
Speaker 2: a three car crash on Keemnon Valley Way heading southbound
Speaker 2: at Leppington.
Speaker 3: Ah geez? Are they delayed there now as a result?
Speaker 16: Yeah, right lane's taken out, Traffic starting to bank up
Speaker 16: the left.
Speaker 3: Lane only okay, thanks, learning us know about that. That's
Speaker 3: so that's Leppington three car crash Camden Valley Way. It's
Speaker 3: blocking southbound lanes just before Denham Court. So if you
Speaker 3: see something around Sydney, let us know about it. Send
Speaker 3: me a text message zero four six zero eight seven
Speaker 3: three eight seven three. Steve mentioned this little earlier in
Speaker 3: the hour in our traffic reports police operation Victoria Road
Speaker 3: in Paramatta. We've just had some confirmation from the police
Speaker 3: they've been involved in a pursuit. They're searching for US Sedan.
Speaker 3: They don't have any more information for us at the moment,
Speaker 3: but there has been a police pursuit around Victoria Road
Speaker 3: and vicinity of Victoria Road, Paramatta. If you've seen something,
Speaker 3: let us know about it. One three, one eight, seven
Speaker 3: to three.
Speaker 1: Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard. If it's happening in your city,
Speaker 1: you'll hear it on Sydney Now.
Speaker 14: To GB.
Speaker 3: On the Shadow Cabinet, Marjorie says on the text line,
Speaker 3: I think dumping two women is not a good look
Speaker 3: for the Liberals because Jane Hume is on and she
Speaker 3: was a very prominent Liberal woman. Also, what portfolio does
Speaker 3: James Patterson have? I think he's very good. Maybe these
Speaker 3: people aren't in the correct faction. Well, James Patterson had
Speaker 3: a reasonably high profile role in the last parliament. He
Speaker 3: was Shadow Home Affairs Minister. But during the election campaign,
Speaker 3: one of the reasons we heard a lot from James Patterson.
Speaker 3: He was the official party spokesperson for the campaign, and
Speaker 3: that's because he is regarded as a good performer in
Speaker 3: the media. His new position is Shadow Minister for Urban
Speaker 3: Infrastructure and Cities and that's important. It's probably not going
Speaker 3: to attract as much attention as Urban affairs as Home
Speaker 3: Affairs does, but also Shadow Minister for the Brisbane twenty
Speaker 3: thirty two Olympic Games. He will still be seen coming
Speaker 3: up for the next hour of the program. Lucy's Elich.
Speaker 2: There is Sydney now with Clinton Maynard.
Speaker 3: On to GB seven past four. We can confirm there
Speaker 3: has been an earth tremor. Some were described as an
Speaker 3: earth quake on Sydney's southwestern outskirts. So this from Geoscience Australia.
Speaker 3: A magnitude three point five quake has been recorded in
Speaker 3: Appen a depth of two kilometers. This from the Seismology
Speaker 3: Research Center. A magnitude three point six earthquake occurred two
Speaker 3: point fifty three nim An Angle. There's been at least
Speaker 3: one aftershock so far. If you felt anything, let me know,
Speaker 3: give me a call one three one eight seventy three.
Speaker 3: Tracy has just sent me a message. We felt it
Speaker 3: in the factory here was around three o'clock Smeat and Grange.
Speaker 3: The computer monitor on my desk was actually moving. Emily's
Speaker 3: in picton Emily, did you feel anything? I?
Speaker 17: Yeah, I did. Actually, I was a bit surprised.
Speaker 8: I wasn't expecting that.
Speaker 3: Whereabouts were you at the time.
Speaker 1: I worked from home, so I was in my living.
Speaker 3: Room and what do they feel like? What do they
Speaker 3: feel like?
Speaker 7: I wasn't sure.
Speaker 1: I kind of just was kind of like a wave
Speaker 1: that went through, if that makes sense.
Speaker 18: Like just internally.
Speaker 9: I don't know how to put it into words, really,
Speaker 9: but it was.
Speaker 3: Yes, it And did anything fall from your shells shelves?
Speaker 14: Ah?
Speaker 7: I was just sitting here.
Speaker 17: I have my feet up, so I'm a little bit
Speaker 17: dramatic as a person, and I just thought that I
Speaker 17: was thinking more to it than what it was.
Speaker 3: And well that it's true.
Speaker 1: It kind of was like a big gust of winds
Speaker 1: that come through.
Speaker 17: And then I looked out and see the trees weren't moving, Soniel.
Speaker 1: It was about so there's.
Speaker 3: Not just to confirm Emily, there's no damage at your place.
Speaker 9: No, no, no, I'm totally fine. I didn't have to
Speaker 9: crawl under my desk or anything like that.
Speaker 17: I was all right.
Speaker 3: Thanks letting us know about it, Emily and Picton, So
Speaker 3: this is now, this is small. This is small on
Speaker 3: earthquake scale, but it is confirmed by Geoscience australiat magnitude
Speaker 3: three point five two kilometers in depth. In Appen, four
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty felt reports have been recorded, so formally
Speaker 3: there's been at least one after shock. It was just
Speaker 3: before three o'clock. Paul says he didn't feel anything at
Speaker 3: Razor back. So if you particularly in the southwest of Sydney,
Speaker 3: let us know if you felt anything. Now we're in Pimont,
Speaker 3: so we're a long way from map and we didn't
Speaker 3: feel anything here. Have you been through that before? Years ago,
Speaker 3: maybe about three or four years ago, I was on
Speaker 3: a holiday in Bali and we were woken at about
Speaker 3: three o'clock in the morning. There'd been an earthquake. We
Speaker 3: didn't know at the time, but in Lombok and I
Speaker 3: was in bed and I thought my wife was just
Speaker 3: rumbling around a fair bit, but the bed was shaking,
Speaker 3: and then everybody in the resort we all went outside
Speaker 3: to the balconies trying to figure out what was going on. Now,
Speaker 3: the earthquake wasn't in Bali. It was probably a couple
Speaker 3: of hundred kilometers away. Certainly felt it. That was a
Speaker 3: stronger earthquake than three point five on the Richter scale.
Speaker 3: But if you have experienced it, it appened, let me know.
Speaker 3: Send me a text message zero four S zero eight
Speaker 3: seven three. That is, give me a call one eight
Speaker 3: seven three.
Speaker 2: You're listening to Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard on two
Speaker 2: GB cool now one three one eight seven three.
Speaker 3: The SES has now confirmed with us. They've conducted ten
Speaker 3: thousand and seventy damage assessments across the Mid North Coast
Speaker 3: and also the Hunter Valley. They have deemed so far
Speaker 3: eleven hundred buildings are uninhabitable as a result of the
Speaker 3: flood emergency of last week. So far they've recorded eighty
Speaker 3: two hundred ninety nine incidents. They've conducted eight hundred and
Speaker 3: five flood rescues. Sixteen one hundred and forty five calls
Speaker 3: have been made to the SES for help. This operation
Speaker 3: is going to continue for weeks to come. We know
Speaker 3: that the Prime Minister has now confirmed various forms of
Speaker 3: financial support the SES and other emergency services. They'll be
Speaker 3: on the ground in Tarre and Wingham and surrounding areas
Speaker 3: for weeks to come. The operation is going to take
Speaker 3: quite a long time, but now formally eleven hundred buildings
Speaker 3: have been deemed uninhabitable. It is ten past four. It
Speaker 3: is coming up to tax time, and this surprised me
Speaker 3: when I read this statistic. Five hundred dollars is how
Speaker 3: much we are missing out on. That's right, we're actually
Speaker 3: not putting in the correct claims. Usually at this time
Speaker 3: of the year we hear about people putting in force
Speaker 3: claims making deductions that they're not really entitled to, and
Speaker 3: the ATA always puts a warning out that all we're
Speaker 3: going to be looking very closely at your tax return. Well,
Speaker 3: the Telegraph had this story today that H and R.
Speaker 3: Block has conducted some research found well, actually we're missing
Speaker 3: out on deductions and those deductions on average are worth
Speaker 3: more than five hundred dollars. Mark Chapman is from H
Speaker 3: and R Block and joins us. Mark, You've got good
Speaker 3: news for us.
Speaker 19: Yeah, well, absolutely, there's potentially hundreds of dollars on the
Speaker 19: table for taxpayers to claim in additional refunds. The problem
Speaker 19: is that many taxpayers don't understand what deductions they're actually
Speaker 19: entitled to claim, and they typically miss some of those
Speaker 19: deductions off their touch return and they therefore miss out
Speaker 19: on some additional money.
Speaker 3: So usually we're hearing from the ATO that there are
Speaker 3: always warnings issued every year about making deductions that you're
Speaker 3: not entitled to, So this is very much the other
Speaker 3: way around.
Speaker 19: Yeah, well, exactly, the ATO obviously does focus on those
Speaker 19: overclaim deductions. Well they would wouldn't they because their primary
Speaker 19: function re collect tax whereas they tend to focus far
Speaker 19: less on people not claiming deductions that they're actually entitled to,
Speaker 19: typically because the ATO also doesn't realize that somebody is
Speaker 19: entitled to them because they simply haven't been claimed. So
Speaker 19: what our research was targeted finding out was exactly how
Speaker 19: many people had actually missed out on tax deductions and
Speaker 19: what the actual quantity of those tax deductions were. And
Speaker 19: it turned out that sixty six percent of people who
Speaker 19: had lodged through my Tax who then went on to
Speaker 19: get their tax return reviewed by a tax professional had
Speaker 19: missed out on deductions, and the average value of those
Speaker 19: deductions was five hundred and twenty five dollars and fifty cents.
Speaker 19: So you know, that's quite a substantial amount of money
Speaker 19: which most people can can't afford to leave behind.
Speaker 3: Well, it's more than half of people who do their
Speaker 3: own tax and missing it on those deductions. What are
Speaker 3: the most commonly claimed missed What are the most calling
Speaker 3: missed deductions?
Speaker 19: We very much depends on your occupation, because everybody can
Speaker 19: claim different deductions depending on what we actually do. But
Speaker 19: I mean, you know, working from home deductions, for example,
Speaker 19: is often missed off, particularly if you didn't previously.
Speaker 14: Work from home.
Speaker 19: You might not have realized that in this particular year
Speaker 19: you can claim those working from home deductions if you
Speaker 19: didn't previously work from home in the last tax year.
Speaker 3: Tell me and is the information available? And of course
Speaker 3: if you go to a tax agent, nature block your
Speaker 3: tax agents, the information is via your agent. But if
Speaker 3: you are doing your tax yourself, is the information for
Speaker 3: specific professions and areas of work? Is it easily identifiable
Speaker 3: on the tax website?
Speaker 19: Well, yes, it is available on the Tax office website,
Speaker 19: but it can be quite time pursuing to find it.
Speaker 19: You know that there are hundreds and hundreds of pages
Speaker 19: on the AhR website. You know if you google it,
Speaker 19: you might well end up with a list of tax
Speaker 19: deductions which can commonly be claimed, and you might well
Speaker 19: end up with a list of tax deductions which are
Speaker 19: specific to your professional trade. But you know that does
Speaker 19: require some time and some effort, and many people simply
Speaker 19: don't take that time or their effort to actually find
Speaker 19: out what they're actually entitled to work to claim.
Speaker 3: Is it better that the end of financial year is
Speaker 3: coming up in just over a month? Are your bas
Speaker 3: just to get your tax returning as soon as possible?
Speaker 19: Well, no bet. The best bet is really to wait
Speaker 19: for two to three weeks after the end of financial year.
Speaker 19: So the best time to lodge is typically from about
Speaker 19: the fourteenth or twenty first of July, and that's because employers, banks,
Speaker 19: et cetera have to actually report the income that you've
Speaker 19: received to the ATO and that then goes into the
Speaker 19: aho's pre fill facility, which is the ability for the
Speaker 19: ATO to know exactly what you've earned and to download
Speaker 19: that into the touch return. So if you're lodging early,
Speaker 19: if you happen to be one of those people who
Speaker 19: likes to lodge on the first and second of July,
Speaker 19: and you look at the pre filled data, there could
Speaker 19: well be a good deal income information missing. There could
Speaker 19: be bank accounts missing, we could be employment income missing
Speaker 19: and therefore you run the risk of not including everything
Speaker 19: that you should have included.
Speaker 3: So give it a few weeks.
Speaker 19: Yeah, you give it a few weeks until you know
Speaker 19: the second or third week of July and that risk
Speaker 19: disappears and you can basically lodge with far more comfort.
Speaker 3: A couple of quick questions that often our listeners are
Speaker 3: confused about. Can you climb your travel to and from
Speaker 3: work on a daily basis?
Speaker 14: Now?
Speaker 19: Unfortunately not, that is regarded by the ATO as a
Speaker 19: private expense. The ATO regards the working day at the
Speaker 19: beginning when you actually get to work, right, and it
Speaker 19: ends when you actually leave work. So therefore the journey
Speaker 19: to and from your house to your office or your
Speaker 19: your workplace that simply isn't tax deductible. However, there is
Speaker 19: an exemption if you're required to carry bulky tools. However,
Speaker 19: you know the ATO does is checking those claims quite vigorously,
Speaker 19: because lots of people claim that they are carrying bulky tools,
Speaker 19: but they're actually not in reality doing that.
Speaker 3: And is it correct you can claim three hundred dollars
Speaker 3: of deductions worth of deductions without a receipt.
Speaker 19: Well, well, yes and no, you can claim three hundred
Speaker 19: dollars of deductions without a receipt, provided you can actually
Speaker 19: prove that you spent a few.
Speaker 3: Hundred dollars, right, So if so, if you're audited, you
Speaker 3: might be questioned about it.
Speaker 19: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you can't simply claim the three hundred
Speaker 19: dollars irrespective of whether you've actually spent the month or not. Yeah,
Speaker 19: you've got too mutually spend the money.
Speaker 3: I appreciate the information. Thank you, Mark, Okay, thank you
Speaker 3: Mark Chapman from H and R Block. Now H and
Speaker 3: R block our tax agent. So it's in their interest
Speaker 3: to promote you going to see a tax agent. Mind
Speaker 3: you if you go to an accountant, a tax agent
Speaker 3: that is tax deductible as well. There was a promise
Speaker 3: from Anthony Alberninzi at the election that there would be
Speaker 3: a change to the tax system whereby you can make
Speaker 3: a thousand dollars worth of deductions without actually effectively justification.
Speaker 3: Now that is not enforce for this tax year. That'll
Speaker 3: be subject to legislation down the track. But interesting that
Speaker 3: sixty six percent of us who put our forms in
Speaker 3: our receipts and our tax returns in ourselves and don't
Speaker 3: go through an accountant or a tax agent are actually
Speaker 3: missing out on an average of five hundred dollars worth
Speaker 3: of a refund. Did you feel the earthquake? So, based
Speaker 3: on what geoscience, Australia's recorded, a three point five measured
Speaker 3: quake two kilometers below appen this afternoon. Was just before
Speaker 3: three o'clock. Darren has sent me an email. I live
Speaker 3: in Elderly near Canden. Yes, two fifty four pm our
Speaker 3: hose she took for about two seconds. It was a
Speaker 3: really weird feeling. Lisa's in spring Farm. Did you feel it, Lisa, yes,
Speaker 3: there you going. What does it feel like?
Speaker 13: Well?
Speaker 18: Nothing really, I mean well, my granddaughter was sitting on
Speaker 18: the floor and she said, Nan, did you feel that
Speaker 18: the floor was shaking? And I said no, but at
Speaker 18: the same time what I heard was our pantry shake,
Speaker 18: but it would have only lasted It felt.
Speaker 19: Like a second.
Speaker 18: And she said, oh, there must have been a really big,
Speaker 18: strong gust of wind. And I looked outside and went, no,
Speaker 18: there's no wind out here, darling. So but that was it,
Speaker 18: and we just didn't think any more about it until
Speaker 18: my granddaughter was on Facebook and she said, oh man,
Speaker 18: she said, we didn't know where it was, but there
Speaker 18: were people all around this area saying did you that
Speaker 18: was an earthquake? Blah blah blah. So and then I
Speaker 18: heard it on the news which confirmed it.
Speaker 3: But yeah, thanks letting us now about it, Lisa, spring Farm.
Speaker 3: So spring Farm is about thirty k's out of appen.
Speaker 3: Michael's just sent me a message. He's also in spring Farm,
Speaker 3: says was working from home and all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: the wall and the monitor, my computer monitor started moving.
Speaker 3: The dogs in the area started barking madly. It was
Speaker 3: really felt quite violent. Kevin says, definitely felt the trenming
Speaker 3: here in spring Farm was around two forty three, This
Speaker 3: one from Toss and I felt the impact in Orang
Speaker 3: Park just before three o'clock. It felt like there was
Speaker 3: a huge wave shaking the building and I was upstairs.
Speaker 3: I was wondering what it was. Well, that's what it was.
Speaker 3: Formerly we've had an earthquake. Now Fortunately there's no reports
Speaker 3: of damage, there's certainly no reports of injury, but you
Speaker 3: may well have felt it, and apparently, at least so far,
Speaker 3: at least one after shock.
Speaker 2: You want to know what's happening in Sydney, stay tuned
Speaker 2: to Sydney Now with Clinton Laynard on.
Speaker 3: To GB The state government today has announced a three
Speaker 3: person panel will conduct a review into Sydney trains. Doesn't
Speaker 3: the government love review? They actually announced a review just
Speaker 3: in the last hour into the HSC sorry, the selective
Speaker 3: High School OC selective tests. I think they're to about
Speaker 3: what six hundred and seventy four reviews since they came
Speaker 3: to power in twenty two three slight exaggeration. This review
Speaker 3: is actually a review into a review, believe it or not.
Speaker 3: Let me explain. There was a review a few years
Speaker 3: ago when Labor first came to power about the state
Speaker 3: of Sydney's train network, and it was conducted by the
Speaker 3: former Transport Safety Regulator, Carolin Walsh, and it found that
Speaker 3: maintenance was a big problem, particularly given how old the
Speaker 3: train network was. So as a result of that review,
Speaker 3: there was then a program that was I took about
Speaker 3: a year where every weekend significant chunks of the Sydney
Speaker 3: rail network were shut down for maintenance. That was as
Speaker 3: a result of the review. Well, Caroline Walsh is now
Speaker 3: being called back in to review where the review's up to.
Speaker 3: I'm serious that they're reviewing the progress of the review.
Speaker 3: Goodness me, more than a million people more than a
Speaker 3: mean in Sidney Side was used trains every day and
Speaker 3: on one of them. You're one of them. I bet,
Speaker 3: like me, you've got no confidence in our trains anymore.
Speaker 3: Now I deliberately did not catch the train today. Why
Speaker 3: because I want to watch State of Origin tonight and
Speaker 3: I want to be assured I'm going to get home
Speaker 3: in time from work drove And yes, there's now going
Speaker 3: to any more traffic on the roads. But think about
Speaker 3: what's happened in the last week on our train network.
Speaker 3: Last night Metro and Metro is usually fairly reliable, a
Speaker 3: train was stuck at Barangaroo. It caused or manner of
Speaker 3: grief for hundreds of thousands of people using the Metro,
Speaker 3: which is usually great Monday night. Now there was an
Speaker 3: incident in our Tarman and police asked City Trains to
Speaker 3: not run the trains on the north Shore, but that
Speaker 3: then caused delays in the Western suburbs. Because the Tea
Speaker 3: one operates on the north Shore in the Western Subburbs,
Speaker 3: it had to flow and effect to other lines. There
Speaker 3: was a problem on Friday. Yes, we had horrific rain
Speaker 3: in the morning on Friday. It caused flooding on part
Speaker 3: of the airport line, the T eight, but I was
Speaker 3: getting calls after three o'clock, hours after the line reopened
Speaker 3: that people were not being serviced on the City Circle
Speaker 3: hours after the floodwaters had receded. That was Monday, and
Speaker 3: then of course last week, in the middle of last week,
Speaker 3: from Tuesday afternoon a forty eight hour outage effectively that
Speaker 3: affected every single line except one, the T four, because
Speaker 3: there was a train stuck in Homebush every single day
Speaker 3: virtually in the last week. There's been a problem. So
Speaker 3: the government calls for another review. Kerry Shott, who is
Speaker 3: a longtime transport an infrastructure expert, he will be part
Speaker 3: of this review. As I mentioned Carolyn Walsh, former safety
Speaker 3: regulator who's also conducted a review. She'll be reviewing her
Speaker 3: review and the former osgred CEE Trevor Armstrong will be involved.
Speaker 3: Why do they bring in Trevor Armstrong because he knows
Speaker 3: a lot about electricity and it's an electric train line system.
Speaker 3: They'll look at several issues, but specifically they'll look at
Speaker 3: the cause of the forty eight hour problem last week
Speaker 3: in Homebush and that's critical, but they'll also look at
Speaker 3: whether investment in the system in major maintenance projects which
Speaker 3: occurred over that year, whether it's actually improved reliability. Well,
Speaker 3: I actually think they need a review into that. Just
Speaker 3: ask the everyday person who's stuck on platforms. Did the
Speaker 3: maintenance program result in improved reliability? No, we don't actually
Speaker 3: need a review to say that it has not improved reliability.
Speaker 3: The review will also look at whether communication with passengers,
Speaker 3: real time updates and internal communications during disruptions is up
Speaker 3: to scratch. That's the wording that's been used. The review
Speaker 3: will look at whether communication with passengers, real time updates
Speaker 3: and internal communications during disruptions is up to scratch. Well, again, no,
Speaker 3: because I get so many messages whenever we go through
Speaker 3: these training disruptions from you who send me messages, texts
Speaker 3: and calls to say there's no information on the platform.
Speaker 3: We are all sick of reviews. John Graham, the Transfer Minister,
Speaker 3: today was asked about how long this review is going
Speaker 3: to take.
Speaker 16: We're really looking for answers over the next couple of months.
Speaker 16: If we'll be guided in part by the panel, what
Speaker 16: the time they need to do the job that's here.
Speaker 16: But this is a specific review, it's looking at a
Speaker 16: specific incident it's looking at some it's a check in
Speaker 16: on work that's already being done. But it's a serious
Speaker 16: review and I think you can see that from the panel.
Speaker 3: Can we just forget the reviews? Can we just fix it?
Speaker 3: Or if it's not fixable, can the government can the
Speaker 3: transport officials just front up and say, look, we've got
Speaker 3: a very old system in Sydney. Reality is it's going
Speaker 3: to break down every second day. Just let us know
Speaker 3: that the system can't be easily fixed, that it's going
Speaker 3: to take decades. We were promised in two thousand and
Speaker 3: four the train lines will be untangled. They haven't been
Speaker 3: untangled yet twenty odd years later. Just be upfront with us.
Speaker 3: And if the answer is Metro because we need specific lines,
Speaker 3: well just admit that we want to save up the
Speaker 3: money for it, because we don't have the money at
Speaker 3: the moment. Just be upfront with the commuters of Sydney
Speaker 3: because we are sick of going through this day after
Speaker 3: day after day. And then the best the government comes
Speaker 3: up with, we'll conduct a review. I've got no ear, okay.
Speaker 3: Remember when Ringo started Thomas the tang Kenjin, there was
Speaker 3: the bloke called the fat Control. You know, the fat
Speaker 3: bloke who run the trains the fact controller in he
Speaker 3: can fix Sydney trains for us. Andrew and will gong
Speaker 3: love you work Andrew. Andrew says, well, someone please buy
Speaker 3: Clinton the train set. I do have one. I've got
Speaker 3: a Hornby train set. I was given to by my
Speaker 3: grandfather in the nineteen eighties. Grandfather's no longer here. I reckon, maybe,
Speaker 3: given my experience of that train set, I might be
Speaker 3: better at operating the trains than the fat controller. Can
Speaker 3: we please find that fat controller from Thomas the tan Kenjin,
Speaker 3: because surely he'll do a bead job. He's the cheeky
Speaker 3: cha saying.
Speaker 1: That lots of them happy some man time. God thunderstand.
Speaker 3: I won't give away our listener's name here. He wants
Speaker 3: to be kept anonymous, but he's a railway worker and
Speaker 3: says there are simply too many managers managing others who
Speaker 3: manage others and don't do too much within the system.
Speaker 3: I reckon what we should do there is conduct a
Speaker 3: review into the managers managing other managers into the managers,
Speaker 3: and then we could have a review into the review.
Speaker 3: Let's check out new his headlines bright Hello josh.
Speaker 12: In Clinton residents say they were left shocked and surprised
Speaker 12: after filling an earthquake which hits south of Sydney. This afternoon,
Speaker 12: a magnitude three point six tremor was recorded near Appen.
Speaker 11: There are no reports of any serious damage.
Speaker 12: Opposition leader Susan Lee says it's time for the Liberal
Speaker 12: and National Parties to hold the alban Easy government to
Speaker 12: account as they unfoil the new shadow cabinet following the
Speaker 12: reforming of the Coalition. More than six thousand insurance claims
Speaker 12: have now been launched as the Marathon flood cleanup continues
Speaker 12: for the New South Wales, Mid North Coast and Hunter
Speaker 12: And a man has been rescued from the bottom of
Speaker 12: a thirty meter sinkhole in South Australia. It took about
Speaker 12: two hours to free him from the bottom of the
Speaker 12: Cave Garden sinkhole, which is a popular tourist attraction. In sport,
Speaker 12: the Blues are chasing rare back to back wins at
Speaker 12: Lang Park in tonight's State of Origin Men's Series oDNA.
Speaker 12: They haven't won consecutive games at the home of Queensland
Speaker 12: since nineteen ninety eight.
Speaker 11: We'll have more news and sport at five.
Speaker 3: Thakd Josh twenty degrees on the coast of the moment.
Speaker 3: Wayne felt the earthquake, So there has been a quake.
Speaker 3: Recording happened three point five on the Richter scale and
Speaker 3: Wayne says, I felt it the Hume Highway through Marulin
Speaker 3: and it was it felt like it was a really
Speaker 3: rough road I was driving and I could feel the
Speaker 3: quake as I was driving along. This This is a
Speaker 3: very funny message from James. James about the fact I've
Speaker 3: suggested we bring in the fat controller from Thomas the
Speaker 3: tank Engine to run the train network. James says, this
Speaker 3: is what we need, Yeah, the fat controller. But the
Speaker 3: problem is we're not allowed to call him the fat
Speaker 3: controller anymore. It'll be called the larger organizer because he's
Speaker 3: previously complained being complaining about bullying because of his weight.
Speaker 3: So we can't call the fat controller from Thomas the
Speaker 3: Tank Engine that anymore. He's the larger train organizer. Jesus
Speaker 3: rest assured the government's got it all the control because
Speaker 3: they've called a review into their review.
Speaker 1: On Sydney. Now you can't handle the truth. The straight shooters.
Speaker 3: It's our straight shooter for a Wednesday of Lucy's LH
Speaker 3: Lucy saved me from the public transport system.
Speaker 6: I don't even know that they can save themselves Clinton.
Speaker 6: I mean, this is just turning into quite the catastrophe
Speaker 6: for them.
Speaker 1: Isn't it.
Speaker 6: Not only is it a public relations disaster, but it's
Speaker 6: also a disaster on the ground for Sydney commuters and
Speaker 6: the fact that this now, this piece of vital infrastructure
Speaker 6: in the city is being mocked and it's suffering. Yeah,
Speaker 6: and it's that it's also suffering some serious reputational damage
Speaker 6: to and you know, and people being able to also
Speaker 6: just rely on it as a you know, as a
Speaker 6: as a wonderful way to get through the city and
Speaker 6: to be on time and to not have to stare
Speaker 6: down the barrel of potential industrial action. I mean that
Speaker 6: there's just there's so many narratives around all of this,
Speaker 6: I think, which have been so frustrating for community to
Speaker 6: be fit.
Speaker 3: The Metro has been pretty reliable.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the Metro has been all right, But I'm saying
Speaker 6: as a whole, I think unfortunately all being grouped into
Speaker 6: the one category.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely. Gary actually asked the question, doesn't the pause
Speaker 3: in union work bands expY next month? So yeah, Garry's right.
Speaker 3: The IIC issued that ban effectively on industrial action through
Speaker 3: until June, so I'll find the precise date now. The
Speaker 3: Transport Minister was actually questioned about the negotiations with the
Speaker 3: union today and he said, look, they need no negotiating
Speaker 3: on a daily basis.
Speaker 6: Do you think they're going to get this over the
Speaker 6: line eventually?
Speaker 4: Clinton?
Speaker 6: Nah, no, No, it's a militant unit, So brace yourselves.
Speaker 6: The anarchists are coming back to the floe and really
Speaker 6: you've got to start relying on your e bike that's
Speaker 6: hopefully not going to blow up in the middle of
Speaker 6: the night because of the lithium batteries, or jump in
Speaker 6: your car it's been fueled by some fossil fuels.
Speaker 3: Phil says, bring back Gladys Gladys Purgic lab I.
Speaker 6: Loved gladd Yeah, and I thought she was fantastic in.
Speaker 3: That These problems on Sydney's train now they've been going
Speaker 3: They go back decades and decades. Governments of all political
Speaker 3: persuasions have failed on it. But yes, the Coalition actually
Speaker 3: did develop Metro and Metro does seem to be the answer. Now.
Speaker 3: There's been a significant court case today a Newington College
Speaker 3: student has lost a bid to challenge the school's move
Speaker 3: to become a co ed. So from twenty twenty six
Speaker 3: and this will be staged, boys and girls will begin
Speaker 3: attending Newington, but there was a challenge in court. We
Speaker 3: can't name the The student can only be referred to
Speaker 3: as student Aid. The student filed a lawsuit in December
Speaker 3: of twenty twenty four and the case hinged on terminology
Speaker 3: in the school's eighteen seventy three Deed of Identire, which
Speaker 3: the statement said that an efficient course of education for
Speaker 3: youth and is limited to the advancement of education of
Speaker 3: boys and young men. However, a court has handed down
Speaker 3: a judgment and it's found that the terminology was used
Speaker 3: in a gender neutral sense, so they conclude effectively that
Speaker 3: Newington can move towards co ed. Good thing or bad thing.
Speaker 6: Look, I happen to disagree with it purely on the
Speaker 6: basis that I think that we've had co educational and
Speaker 6: single sex schools exist for an extended period of time
Speaker 6: now decades, and I think that if it works, and
Speaker 6: if it's something that students have a preference and parents
Speaker 6: have a preference for, then it should be made available
Speaker 6: to them and we're not only talking about, you know,
Speaker 6: just any old school as well. The fees of this
Speaker 6: particular school are also quite exorbitant as well. If you're
Speaker 6: a parent and you've got a child in either year
Speaker 6: eleven or twelve, you're paying upwards of forty five thousand
Speaker 6: dollars a year. So parents who know of Newington College
Speaker 6: have this expectation that it will be a single sex
Speaker 6: and all boys school. Now, I think that we've seen
Speaker 6: this kind of trend recently as well, where there have
Speaker 6: been other schools across Sydney, and prestigious Sydney schools as well,
Speaker 6: that will no longer have co educational learning at their
Speaker 6: junior campuses, schools like Kinkopple as well, which we know
Speaker 6: to be very prestigious. But I'm just what intrigued as
Speaker 6: to why there has been this shift against it, because
Speaker 6: I think that we should have those offerings available to
Speaker 6: students and to parents if they would prefer to go
Speaker 6: to either a co ed or a single sex school.
Speaker 3: I don't think it comes out of money. Well, I
Speaker 3: reckon that the man and I don't go to a pride,
Speaker 3: didn't get a private school, my kids don't get all
Speaker 3: private school. But my parents, my grandparents did. I'd suggest
Speaker 3: it's the operators of the school of the opinion that
Speaker 3: to broaden their income base, they feel the need to
Speaker 3: open up to both male and female students.
Speaker 6: As if the private schools aren't already generating a hell
Speaker 6: of a lot of money. Clinton, I mean, and again
Speaker 6: it comes down to personal experience. I know we were
Speaker 6: speaking to our producer Hannah earlier and she said that
Speaker 6: she didn't very much enjoy her single sex, all girls
Speaker 6: school experience. My sister went to an all girls school.
Speaker 6: Her two daughters, my nieces, go to all girls schools,
Speaker 6: and they just love them. They really appreciate them.
Speaker 3: Moment well there. I went to public schools, but my
Speaker 3: public school merged with a girls' school year eleven and
Speaker 3: twelve and is now a co ed school. And I
Speaker 3: actually loved it, not just because I do like girls,
Speaker 3: but because it for me personally, it lifted the standards
Speaker 3: of the boys. The boys then actually I think, improve
Speaker 3: their behavior and academically it was more of a challenge
Speaker 3: to have strong academic girls in our class.
Speaker 6: It'd be interesting to see the metrics on that, wouldn't it.
Speaker 3: If it does actually impact a lot of parents, of
Speaker 3: daughters don't believe it's good for their daughters.
Speaker 4: All sons as well.
Speaker 6: They believe that the opposite sex exactly that they can
Speaker 6: prove to be a bit of a distraction. But I
Speaker 6: just I mean to your point about it being financial. Okay,
Speaker 6: that's one, but you know, with these particular institutions that
Speaker 6: have been known historically to be single sex, I do
Speaker 6: find it interesting now that they are going against their
Speaker 6: traditional ethos and the premise of which their school and
Speaker 6: campuses and alumni have been built upon, are now making
Speaker 6: this shift, and I think it kind of denies parents
Speaker 6: that opportunity to be able to send them to a
Speaker 6: school based on those particular preferences.
Speaker 3: What's your view? Are you happy that the major GPS
Speaker 3: schools like Newington not all of them? The Newington certainly
Speaker 3: is based on this court decision now they handed down
Speaker 3: will go co ed let us know just on the
Speaker 3: trains and it says bring back the monorail and I think
Speaker 3: they're going to bring back the monitor on the concord.
Speaker 6: What else can we unearth?
Speaker 3: Okay? On schools, Bill says, I went to the Oberon
Speaker 3: Central School. Apart from freezing my backside off, I did
Speaker 3: pretty well good on your bill. Greg says, I'd like
Speaker 3: to know who's paying for all the works at Newington
Speaker 3: which would be required for the co ed school. They
Speaker 3: will have to make.
Speaker 6: Changes, absolutely, they'll have to make changes, so they'll have
Speaker 6: to install female facilities, et cetera. They'll have to go
Speaker 6: through all of that. So whether that Clinton, as we
Speaker 6: said earlier, speaks to your point about it being financial
Speaker 6: and they'd like to broaden the scope, I would think,
Speaker 6: and judging by their alumni as well, that money is
Speaker 6: something that this school wouldn't be short on. As I said,
Speaker 6: I'm just more intrigued as to whether it is solely
Speaker 6: financial or they're motivated by something else in this particular area.
Speaker 6: I'd love to know what the genuine reasons are.
Speaker 3: Ben, on the text line zero force x zero eight
Speaker 3: seven three out seven three says traditionally women would not
Speaker 3: allowed to vote at one point. Also, ben'ss moved with
Speaker 3: the times.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but Ben, that's not comparing like for like, So
Speaker 6: what are we saying. I mean, a woman's right to
Speaker 6: vote is a human right, a right to go to
Speaker 6: an all boys school. I think that that's just ultimately
Speaker 6: down to preference. Right if that's something that you choose,
Speaker 6: and that's something that you would like to do. I
Speaker 6: think that you should have that option available to you,
Speaker 6: particularly at an institution that has been known historically for
Speaker 6: being an all boys or all girls' school.
Speaker 3: I'm getting more messages on this now coming in. Mari says,
Speaker 3: how can a reference to young boys be gender neutral?
Speaker 3: Give me a break?
Speaker 6: That's for that, I know, right? And how's the court
Speaker 6: and how did the court come to that determination? I mean,
Speaker 6: I oftentimes we get sucked into semantics around this when
Speaker 6: it comes to the law. But I just thought that,
Speaker 6: you know, the interpretation of youth being gender neutral versus
Speaker 6: the reference of boys and men, and that apparently not
Speaker 6: being you know that also then being gender neutral is
Speaker 6: very bizarre.
Speaker 3: Now you were fired up today about climate cancer. What's
Speaker 3: climate cancer? I've not heard about that, right I.
Speaker 6: I'm trying so desperately to say this with a straight face.
Speaker 6: It is such an absurd story. And let me be
Speaker 6: clear on this, right and by no stretch of the
Speaker 6: imagination of climate denier, but by no means am I
Speaker 6: also a replica of Greta Tunberg, who believed five years
Speaker 6: ago that the world was going to be on fire.
Speaker 6: Remember her interview that she gave or her it was
Speaker 6: like a press conference and where she was kind of
Speaker 6: attacking everybody and saying.
Speaker 16: How dare you?
Speaker 6: I mean, it was just all so ridiculous. Could we
Speaker 6: be doing more? I'm sure, But I am someone that
Speaker 6: a is a big fan of nuclear energy. I think
Speaker 6: it is a step in the right direction. B I
Speaker 6: think that climate change and its references in so many
Speaker 6: areas that just are downright disrespectful or just out of
Speaker 6: place entirely are becoming the norm now, and that's a
Speaker 6: really big problem. So in this particular instance, there was
Speaker 6: a study that was released via some researchers in Egypt
Speaker 6: which analyzed the rates of breast, cervical, ovarian, and uterine
Speaker 6: cancers in seventy in Middle Eastern countries and compared them
Speaker 6: to rising temperatures over time. I just found it to
Speaker 6: be pretty ridiculous because they argued that they found that
Speaker 6: for every one degree celsius, which translates to one point
Speaker 6: eight degrees fahrenheit temperatures increased, cases of the four cancers
Speaker 6: on average increased by up to two hundred and eighty
Speaker 6: per one hundred thousand people over the last twenty years.
Speaker 6: I mean, you could find causality in anything if you
Speaker 6: desperately looked for it. It's just a slap in the
Speaker 6: face to know what some of the real issues going
Speaker 6: on with cancer and its causalities are. They're not choosing
Speaker 6: to factor in the rise in cancers due to poor
Speaker 6: dietary health, due to a number of other reasons, over
Speaker 6: reliance on pharmaceuticals, poor lifestyle choices, as well. The fact
Speaker 6: that they're trying to link this to climate change I
Speaker 6: think is very insulting. And both my mother and my
Speaker 6: sister are survivors of cancer, thank goodness. My mother in law,
Speaker 6: who we lost very sadly just after four days after Christmas,
Speaker 6: was not. But we're not living in extreme and exorbitant temperatures.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 6: My family has grown up in Canberra, which typically is
Speaker 6: quite cold over the winter months. So this argument, I
Speaker 6: think is not only insulting, but it's just plain dumb.
Speaker 3: I look yesterday, I mentioned this on the PRAGMU yesterday,
Speaker 3: the Lock the Gate organization, and they are very well,
Speaker 3: they're quite a militant environmental group. They put them it
Speaker 3: really s out and said the mid North closed floods,
Speaker 3: which I witnessed on Monday were the cause of the
Speaker 3: Albanese government approving more coal mines. Oh my god, what
Speaker 3: about Do you remember when I'm actually not anti the
Speaker 3: climate is changing that there's a question whether how much
Speaker 3: human involvement is the cause of that. But if the
Speaker 3: Albanesi government did not approve those coal mines, the floods
Speaker 3: would have still occurred. Of course, I'm not going to
Speaker 3: change that. We're talking change over generations.
Speaker 6: And this is where the conversation gets very immature and
Speaker 6: nonsensical and irrational. And I genuinely believe I mean, you
Speaker 6: call them militant, and they are in many respects, but
Speaker 6: I do believe that it causes some of these genuine
Speaker 6: organizations who have some legitimate claims about the climate changing,
Speaker 6: et cetera, and what we could be doing more. It
Speaker 6: causes them harm and it really detracts from their messaging
Speaker 6: and their validity in those messages.
Speaker 3: We'll come to some of your calls next. Our number
Speaker 3: is one three one eight seven three Wednesday Straight Shoot
Speaker 3: with Lucy's Zilich one three one eight seven three on
Speaker 3: the issue of co ed schools and co ed private schools.
Speaker 3: Dean has a thought get a Dean.
Speaker 8: Yeah, gooday, guys. Look, when boys only schools go co ed,
Speaker 8: then the girls only schools doesn't follow suit in a
Speaker 8: local LGA area, you then put boys in the area
Speaker 8: at a disadvantage. You're limiting the boys' options of private
Speaker 8: education in a local area.
Speaker 6: I agree, Dean, and that's why I think that those
Speaker 6: choices should be made available to them, especially for institutions
Speaker 6: that have always historically been say, for example, all boys
Speaker 6: or all girls. I just think it's a very limiting decision,
Speaker 6: and I think it's not a fair one either.
Speaker 3: Thanks Dean. This message from one of our listeners on
Speaker 3: the text lines zero four zero eight, seventh grade seven three.
Speaker 3: I have one son at Newington, three daughters at a
Speaker 3: similarly prestigious girls school. My husband and I both went
Speaker 3: to public high schools that were co ed. We're making
Speaker 3: choices for our children. Our decisions were based entirely on
Speaker 3: academic and co curricular activities, on offer, not gender. We
Speaker 3: would have been thrilled at least to have the choice
Speaker 3: of a co ed private school in our area the
Speaker 3: caliber of those sort of schools, so I think choice
Speaker 3: is important.
Speaker 6: Of course, choice is important, and that's what I think
Speaker 6: the underpinning message is in all of this, you want
Speaker 6: to be able to have the choice to send them
Speaker 6: to either a co ed or a single sex school.
Speaker 6: And by limiting people, you know and limiting those options
Speaker 6: available to them, I think it's just proving to be
Speaker 6: a disservice.
Speaker 3: Now, Anthony Albernezi has made some comments in Brismon to day,
Speaker 3: I reckon, get your fired up. Have listened to this?
Speaker 13: Just a fun fact that's and Jordan and my attention
Speaker 13: is that there are more women whose name begins with
Speaker 13: A in the Labor Party caucus in the House of Representatives.
Speaker 13: Ten then there will be nine coalition women on the
Speaker 13: floor of the House of Representatives in the Liberal Party
Speaker 13: and the National Party combined with Anika Here, Anna Lee
Speaker 13: Ailey France is here, Elisha Payne, Alice Jordan Baird, ash
Speaker 13: Amberjaipaha and Stanley Alison Burns, ann Urkhat and Amanda Rishworth.
Speaker 3: The a's have it.
Speaker 6: Oh God, this is cringey. Was anyone else just listening
Speaker 6: to this and thinking, this is the Prime Minister of
Speaker 6: our country and this is something that he has chosen
Speaker 6: to chosen to get himself wrapped up in. This is
Speaker 6: what he's getting himself whipped up over and again. It's
Speaker 6: it's all just to try and smear the Liberal Party
Speaker 6: and try to get them to live in that murkiness
Speaker 6: and that tag that of course was championed by the
Speaker 6: Gillard government, who we know all infamously delivered Julia Gillard,
Speaker 6: that has delivered that infamous misogyny speech. But she also
Speaker 6: happens to be the same the same first female Prime
Speaker 6: minister that introduced gender identity into the Sex Discrimination Act
Speaker 6: in twenty thirteen. So when you go to the toilets,
Speaker 6: or you compete in your local girls team and you
Speaker 6: see boys either coming into those bathrooms or playing in
Speaker 6: your team, you can thank the greatest feminist fraud in history,
Speaker 6: Julia Gillard for that. Thank you the left arm of government.
Speaker 3: State of origin. One tonight, Suncott Stadium, Brisbane. The Queensland
Speaker 3: is up against New South Wales. Now you were you
Speaker 3: grew up in the Act. HM, Does that mean you
Speaker 3: are neutral? No?
Speaker 6: No, Well I'm a big New South Wales supporter right,
Speaker 6: and I think it's only largely because that's the closest
Speaker 6: kind of of the two, that's the closest to us.
Speaker 6: So we will always.
Speaker 3: Be championing for them to win. Marke Levy with State
Speaker 3: of Origin. He's calling his first Origin match tonight. You're
Speaker 3: hearing Levy Lucy you'll be back next week.
Speaker 6: Thank you mate.
Speaker 2: This is Sydney now we've Clinton Maynard on to Gbright to.
Speaker 3: Have your company This Wednesday evening. It is State of
Speaker 3: Origin night. You'll hear a full broadcast this evening. Mark
Speaker 3: Leevy calling his first Origin match, New South Wales up
Speaker 3: against Queensland this afternoon. We have experienced an earthquake. Now
Speaker 3: it's only been a small shock three point five on
Speaker 3: the Richter scale in Appen, but I've had so many
Speaker 3: of our listeners get in contact with us that they
Speaker 3: did feel it. There is no reports of any damage.
Speaker 3: Just to clarify, nobody has been injured. There is no damage,
Speaker 3: but certainly throughout Appen, particularly in the area of spring Farm,
Speaker 3: which is about thirty k's out of Appen, plenty of
Speaker 3: people have felt the quake. Seven past five, a search
Speaker 3: is continuing for a man, a fifty year old man
Speaker 3: who police are desperate defined following a house fire in
Speaker 3: Croydon today. Now police believe this house fire was suspicious.
Speaker 3: They believe it was deliberately lit. It has resulted in
Speaker 3: the death of eighty year old Ted Grantham. Police have
Speaker 3: been speaking with his wife now she is certainly not
Speaker 3: a suspect, but they are now looking for his son.
Speaker 3: This is Burwood Superintendent Christine McDonald.
Speaker 20: The fifty year old man that we are currently wishing
Speaker 20: to speak to is described as one hundred and ninety
Speaker 20: centimeters tool, medium to large build with brown.
Speaker 3: Short hair.
Speaker 20: I know that describes a lot of men in Sydney,
Speaker 20: but he is believed to be using the public transport network.
Speaker 4: He will have information to assist this investigation.
Speaker 20: That man was last known to be in the like
Speaker 20: Art area and we encourage any person with information to
Speaker 20: contact crime stoppers. We are currently profiling that person to
Speaker 20: work out what their background is, what their history is. Importantly,
Speaker 20: I am concerned for that person's welfare and I do
Speaker 20: want them to come forward and provide police with information.
Speaker 3: Superintendent Christine McDonald now, I spoke with the Superintendent little
Speaker 3: Larder in the p and she did provide a little
Speaker 3: bit more information about his clothing and this is quite distinctive.
Speaker 3: He was wearing a New York Yankees hoodie navy blue
Speaker 3: New York Hankees hoodie but also very traditional looking New
Speaker 3: York Yankees Navy blue cap. Police are desperate to speak
Speaker 3: with him. This far is believed to be suspicious and
Speaker 3: they have concerns for his welfare. If you know something,
Speaker 3: get in contact with the police.
Speaker 2: Be a part of Sydney now with Clinton Maynard called
Speaker 2: one three one eight seventy three.
Speaker 3: There has been a drama in State Parliament this afternoon.
Speaker 3: During question time, Ryan Park, the Health Minister, spoke about
Speaker 3: the future of Northern Beaches Hospital. As you know, the
Speaker 3: government is negotiating now with Healthscope, the owners of the
Speaker 3: Northern Beaches Hospital, to effectively buy back that the public
Speaker 3: services that it provides, such as the emergency department. This
Speaker 3: week the owners of health Scope announced that the company
Speaker 3: was going into receivership. So this is an added complication
Speaker 3: in the future of Northern Beaches Hospital made headlines this
Speaker 3: year because of the death last year in September of
Speaker 3: baby Joe Joe Massa. Joe died because he wasn't treated
Speaker 3: properly at the Northern Beaches Hospital. The Northern Beaches Hospital
Speaker 3: is unique in Sydney because it's the only public hospital
Speaker 3: that is privately operated Now that was a deal that
Speaker 3: was finalized by the coalition government, the former coalition government,
Speaker 3: and Ryan Parking in Parliament today has drawn some attention
Speaker 3: to that.
Speaker 21: Those lot opposite will come back in this place and
Speaker 21: drive a privatization agenda in healthcare the lights you've never
Speaker 21: seen before.
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you why.
Speaker 22: I've got proof of that because in the last twenty
Speaker 22: four hours the leader of the Opposition was asked a
Speaker 22: simple question, do you apologize for signing up the community
Speaker 22: to this deal?
Speaker 21: And he refused to apologize.
Speaker 22: Because, mister Speaker, this is in their DNA, this is.
Speaker 3: What they believe in.
Speaker 21: This is all contractor remember contract.
Speaker 1: Remember for close on three calls.
Speaker 23: Remember for close, you'll remove yourself from the tamer understanding
Speaker 23: Order two four nine A until the end of question time.
Speaker 23: Member for b Close, you will remove yourself understanding Order
Speaker 23: two four nine Sergeant Arms will remove the Member for Claus.
Speaker 3: The Member for four Clues is Kelly Sloane, the shadow
Speaker 3: Health Minister. Now, Kelly Sloane is a cool, calm and
Speaker 3: collected MP on the front bench and she was asking
Speaker 3: questions in the background there and the allegation of effectively
Speaker 3: what she's accused of is is breaching parliamentary rules, but
Speaker 3: she was trying to ask Ryan Park questions there, Kelly
Speaker 3: Sloane joins us, Kelly, you're not in Parliament at the
Speaker 3: moment because you've been thrown out.
Speaker 17: Yeah, and look, I'll have to have a tough time
Speaker 17: explaining that to my kids, who I say to behave
Speaker 17: themselves in school and not get in trouble with the principle.
Speaker 17: But look, it was unusual behavior from me, and I
Speaker 17: guess Clinton that was in response to what I thought
Speaker 17: was a really bizarre performance by the Health Minister, totally
Speaker 17: distorting the opposition's position on the hospital and on healthcare
Speaker 17: in general.
Speaker 3: So it can't be hidden away from the fact. And
Speaker 3: we've spoken about this before. Your side of politics was
Speaker 3: the side when in government that entered in this arrangement
Speaker 3: with health Scope for a private hospital for a public
Speaker 3: hospitals run by the private company.
Speaker 17: Well, that's right. The contract was drawn about eleven years
Speaker 17: ago and unfortunately the hospital hasn't lived up to the
Speaker 17: community's expectations. And that's happened under the management of health Scope,
Speaker 17: which unfortunately we've seen in the Order to General's report.
Speaker 17: Cut Corners failed on a number of metrics. They actually
Speaker 17: outperformed on a number of other metrics. But either way,
Speaker 17: the Opposition has been quite genuine and then quite bipartisan
Speaker 17: in its approach to this. We've supported an independent review
Speaker 17: of the Emergency Department, a coronial inquest, parliamentary inquiry, the
Speaker 17: expansion of something called the Reach Protocol to help parents,
Speaker 17: and importantly we supported the introduction of Joe's Law. Now,
Speaker 17: Joe's Law is a law that would prevent a future
Speaker 17: public private partnership of the model that we're seeing in
Speaker 17: the Northern Beaches. And this is the point I was
Speaker 17: trying to make in Parliament today. That law was introduced
Speaker 17: two months ago now, two months ago with urgency by
Speaker 17: the Health Minister who both introduced the bill and spoke
Speaker 17: to it on a day, skipping the queue effectively, and
Speaker 17: we supported that. And since then that bill has not
Speaker 17: seen the light of day. We haven't been able to
Speaker 17: finish debate, we haven't been able to vote on it.
Speaker 17: The Coalition supported that bill, and today the Minister was
Speaker 17: accusing us in effect as not doing that. But he's
Speaker 17: the one that needs to bring it to the chamber
Speaker 17: and we should vote on it.
Speaker 3: Why do you suspect and this is complicated. But why
Speaker 3: would it be delayed in this way?
Speaker 17: Well, I don't know, and you have to ask the
Speaker 17: Health Minister that and the government. But this was brought
Speaker 17: in with urgency two months ago, a law that they
Speaker 17: introduced to prevent future private public partnerships of the kind
Speaker 17: in Northern Beaches Hospital and now it is missing in action.
Speaker 17: So there are questions the government needs to answer about
Speaker 17: that and are they being genuine? And the Health Minister
Speaker 17: today was being quite disingenuous a high rate, accusing the
Speaker 17: opposition of some future imagined privatization agenda, which is quite
Speaker 17: frankly a lie, isseless and it was really degrading.
Speaker 3: Kelly in what the Health Minister said, They're in partment.
Speaker 3: He says that mister Speakman, your leader has been given
Speaker 3: the opportunity to apop Jos, hasn't.
Speaker 17: Well, I've heard Mark Speakman talk about this numerous times.
Speaker 17: He disprays a great deal of empathy and intellect when
Speaker 17: he talks about it. And two weeks ago the Northern
Speaker 17: Beaches community had a huge community forum, almost five hundred
Speaker 17: people attending that I wasn't invited to that, but I
Speaker 17: asked to attend. I fronted up, I stood in front
Speaker 17: of that community and I said that I was incredibly
Speaker 17: sorry for what they'd been through, sorry for the role
Speaker 17: that we have played in that, and that we would
Speaker 17: be constructive in fixing it. And we have been constructive
Speaker 17: by partisan, empathetic. I've had many meetings with the families
Speaker 17: and to see that performance today by Ryan Park was
Speaker 17: quite frankly offensive.
Speaker 3: Hopefully that legislation does go through parliament soon because that
Speaker 3: is important. Thank you, Kelly, Thank you well.
Speaker 17: The Northern Beaches community deserves by partisanship and respect because
Speaker 17: they don't want politics. They want this fixed.
Speaker 3: Thanks Kelly. Kelly Slan who's the Shadow Minister for Healthy
Speaker 3: I should point out that Kelly Sloane was not in
Speaker 3: Parliament when the government was the coalition government, so she
Speaker 3: wasn't part of the decision to have a public private partnership,
Speaker 3: but the former coalition government was, and yes they should
Speaker 3: be taking full responsibility. And Kelly's attended numerous public forums
Speaker 3: and part of it, and she puts a hand up
Speaker 3: that it's the wrong thing to do and that's why
Speaker 3: they are supporting this change, this legislation.
Speaker 2: Be your part of Sydney now with Clinton Maynard called
Speaker 2: one three one eight seventy three.
Speaker 3: It is official now the Canterbury Bulldogs have signed Lachlan Galvin.
Speaker 3: Now this has of course been mooted since the weekend,
Speaker 3: but now this is formal. The nineteen year old will
Speaker 3: join the Bulldogs effective immediately, so he is no longer
Speaker 3: a West Tiger's plan and he wasn't named to play
Speaker 3: for the Tigers this weekend. Reportedly, he'll be on a
Speaker 3: deal of seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars per season,
Speaker 3: despite the fact that he was offered more than a
Speaker 3: million dollars by the Tigers. Mark guy will join me
Speaker 3: a little later this out and we'll be talking about
Speaker 3: this along with all the State of Origin action. State
Speaker 3: of Origin one tonight we're covering all the action with
Speaker 3: Mark Leavy calling his first Origin match the evening. MG
Speaker 3: will be there and Mark gorell join me in the
Speaker 3: second half of this hour. Of course, as you always do.
Speaker 3: What about Macas. Our great friends at Macas, who are
Speaker 3: sponsors of the program in the station, have just sent
Speaker 3: me the Blues Origin meal. This is fantastic now I
Speaker 3: know this is their special deal at the moment where
Speaker 3: you can choose from ten chicken McNuggets or a big
Speaker 3: Mac comes with the medium fries or large fries and
Speaker 3: drink as well. So I've just opened up. He comes
Speaker 3: in a blue Jersey box. So the actual box, it's
Speaker 3: a little like this is like a how you describe it.
Speaker 3: This is like, I reckon, this is a happy meal
Speaker 3: for adults, so it's in the shape of a happy
Speaker 3: meal box. And look, I do go to Maca's a
Speaker 3: bit admittedly, and they are sponsors of ours. I don't
Speaker 3: usually get a happy meal, but this is like a
Speaker 3: happy meal for me. So you open it up and
Speaker 3: inside is I've got the big Mac and I've got
Speaker 3: the fries. But they've got the special Collector's cup. So
Speaker 3: this is like it's an aluminium cup. It's all blue.
Speaker 3: It features the New South Wales Origin logo on it
Speaker 3: as well, and then there are different ones to collect.
Speaker 3: This one I've got now is the epic series Win
Speaker 3: twenty four so of course we won Origin last year.
Speaker 3: We won Origin last year, so you get this special cup.
Speaker 3: It's a lovely blue color and you can then keep
Speaker 3: refilling it. You take it home, drink whatever you like
Speaker 3: out of it, so you can have your cake or
Speaker 3: you you fando from macers you sprite as well. The
Speaker 3: box it's got, so this is the big map. You
Speaker 3: can get the nuggets as well, and then you can
Speaker 3: upgrade the blues micfloat. Have you had one of those yet?
Speaker 3: The blues micfloat. So it's got the soft serve. It's
Speaker 3: got the soft serve at the top of the drink
Speaker 3: and you can have it in this cup. So good
Speaker 3: on Macis and thank you for sending me the big mac.
Speaker 3: I'll be enjoying that in a moment. I can't wait
Speaker 3: to eat it. So the Liberals and the Nationals are back.
Speaker 3: They're back for good. Now to get the fights of
Speaker 3: last week David Little Proud and Susan Lee, and we
Speaker 3: didn't invite both on the program the day, but they
Speaker 3: were very busy. They were in love with each other
Speaker 3: once again. The Shadow Cabinet has been unveiled and now
Speaker 3: they've come to an agreement on policies, but they haven't
Speaker 3: yet come to an agreement on net zero.
Speaker 17: You've made some comments about you know, we do need
Speaker 17: to get emissions down, but not at any cost.
Speaker 24: Will you consider dropping that zero over the next few months.
Speaker 5: And at the start of his turn or have those
Speaker 5: discussions inside the policy development process.
Speaker 3: Okay, so she won't say that's Susan Lee. She won't
Speaker 3: say whether net zero is gone or not. Now the
Speaker 3: shadow cabinet is a little controversial because of who's been
Speaker 3: left out. Most notably, Jane Hume is not in shadow cabinet.
Speaker 3: She was the Shadow Finance Minister previously, so she had
Speaker 3: a fairly prominent role, particularly during the election campaign, along
Speaker 3: with Angus Taylor, who is the Shadow Treasurer. She's been
Speaker 3: given the punt. Angus Taylor is still on the front bench.
Speaker 3: There had been some speculation that because he missed out
Speaker 3: on the leadership position that he would then go to
Speaker 3: the back bench. No, he's staying on board, but he's
Speaker 3: going to be the Defense Minister. The Shadow treasure it
Speaker 3: will be Ted O'Brien, So Ted O'Brien is the deputy
Speaker 3: Liberal leader is able to choose his portfolio. The other
Speaker 3: significant changes as a Ranger changes that James McGrath, who's
Speaker 3: considered an up and coming star. He becomes the Urban,
Speaker 3: Infrastructure and Cities Minister. But with all the hullabaloo over
Speaker 3: just Center Price switching from the Nationals to the Liberals,
Speaker 3: she's actually effectively being pushed back. She's not going to
Speaker 3: be part of shadow cabinet anymore. She was previously the
Speaker 3: Shadow Minister for Indigenous Affairs, but she's actually been pushed
Speaker 3: out of that portfolio. She is now the Shadow Minister
Speaker 3: for Defense Industries and the Shadow Minister for Defense Personnel.
Speaker 3: Now that means she's not part of cabinet, and Susan
Speaker 3: Lee was asked to justify that.
Speaker 5: I spoke to Cycinti yesterday about her new appointment. She's
Speaker 5: very excited to take it up. There is no more
Speaker 5: important area than safety, national security and defense, and you
Speaker 5: will see a great profiling of defense under Angus Taylor
Speaker 5: as we go forward in this term of opposition. And
Speaker 5: I'm delighted that Jacenter is taking up what is a
Speaker 5: really vital role and her style of communication, her relationship
Speaker 5: with Australian people will be incredibly valuable.
Speaker 3: So she has this wonderful, valuable communication ability. But she's
Speaker 3: actually taking on a lesser role anyway, that's all part
Speaker 3: of the coalition fight because the Nationals now hate her. Now,
Speaker 3: Gizelle Captirian, she's been given the job. Gizelle Capturian currently
Speaker 3: is not an MP because she's subject to a recount
Speaker 3: in the seat of Bradfield, and the recount again is
Speaker 3: very close. At last look that I had to look
Speaker 3: at Joel Captierian in the recount, they're about a quarter
Speaker 3: of the way through, only leads nicolete Buller by five
Speaker 3: votes that the Teal Independent. Now she may well retain
Speaker 3: that seat, but she has been given a job in
Speaker 3: the official list. She has an asterisk next to her name.
Speaker 3: She's the Shadow Assistant Minister for Communications.
Speaker 5: Subject to the outcome of a vote in Bradfield, Gizelle
Speaker 5: Capterarian will be appointed a Shadow Assistant Minister for Communications,
Speaker 5: Shadow Assistant Minister for Technology and for Digital Economy. Jiselle's
Speaker 5: appointment is a vote of confidence in the future of
Speaker 5: women in our party and it's a clear message to
Speaker 5: communities like Bradfield that if you support your local Liberal member,
Speaker 5: they will have a direct say in the decisions that
Speaker 5: change the direction of this country.
Speaker 3: But Jizil Capterian may not win the seat. Reality is
Speaker 3: she's very well regarded. The Liberals are desperate for her
Speaker 3: win the seat. In fact, the State Labor Party would
Speaker 3: like her to win the seat, believe it or not,
Speaker 3: because they don't want to see her run in state politics.
Speaker 3: She's seen as potentially leadership material, but she doesn't actually
Speaker 3: have a job yet in parliament. This is what I
Speaker 3: find amusing about the naming of shadow cabinet today. There
Speaker 3: is a list of all these shadow assistant ministers. So
Speaker 3: she is the shadow assistant Minister for Communications. The minister
Speaker 3: the shadow Minister for Communications is Melissa Macintosh, the Member
Speaker 3: for Lindsay in the Penrith district. Why is it necessary
Speaker 3: to have a shadow assistant Minister for Communications not not
Speaker 3: the assistant Minister for Communications. Now, this is the shadow,
Speaker 3: so they just help the minister who's not actually the
Speaker 3: minister is the shadow. I think it's a bit like this,
Speaker 3: basically oprah Winfristyle. The new leader, Susan Lee has to
Speaker 3: give everyone a damn job. A couple of messages here
Speaker 3: about assistant ministers and shadow ministers. Kerry says they're shadow
Speaker 3: because they're not in government. I realize that, Kerry. My
Speaker 3: question is, yes, I understand we need to have shadow
Speaker 3: ministers because they hold the ministers to account. Why do
Speaker 3: we have to have assistant shadow ministers? The argument would
Speaker 3: be to hold the assistant ministers to account. There's an
Speaker 3: argument while we need the assistant ministers, but to me,
Speaker 3: it just seems like we're just throwing around so many
Speaker 3: jobs for the sake of it. Now my understanding is
Speaker 3: the assistant shadow ministers don't actually get more money, but
Speaker 3: it's part of the whole fight within the coalition. They're
Speaker 3: all fighting with each other for one of those jobs
Speaker 3: and as soon as a reward for doing the right
Speaker 3: thing within the coalition, but it just seems to be
Speaker 3: pointless having an assistant shadow minister. Let's check out your
Speaker 3: headlines and we got the way to is.
Speaker 12: Josh Bright Good afternoon again. Clinton, Jane Hume and Sarah
Speaker 12: Henderson have been dumped from the coalition's new front bench
Speaker 12: team to take on the Albanezi government. A review's being
Speaker 12: ordered into the way New South Wales selective high school
Speaker 12: testing has been carried out this year after the disruptions
Speaker 12: for students at three major centers early in the process.
Speaker 12: A legal challenge against Newington Colleges going co ed has
Speaker 12: been dealta significant blow in court, a judge finding the
Speaker 12: term youth in the school's trustee was gender neutral and
Speaker 12: there are no reports of any serious damage. After a
Speaker 12: three point six magnitude earthquake struck an appent south of
Speaker 12: Sydney in Sport. A crowd of more than fifty thousand
Speaker 12: fans is descending on Lang Park in Brisbane ahead of
Speaker 12: tonight's State of Origin Men's series opener between New South
Speaker 12: Wales and Queenslands. And is Stephen Crichton overcoming a leg
Speaker 12: cork and we'll take his spot in the side for
Speaker 12: the Blues.
Speaker 11: We'll have more news and sport at six.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Josh. Sixteen degrees in the city, fifteen degrees
Speaker 3: in the coast, Finance update and we've got the latest
Speaker 3: deb night. Now you won't hear money news tonight dep
Speaker 3: because we have State of Origin.
Speaker 24: We do, but for those who really want to get
Speaker 24: their money news, they could always listen to the podcast.
Speaker 3: What I still I still wanted to talk tip because
Speaker 3: I I love our segment.
Speaker 24: Yeah, we're stilling the show because we go around the.
Speaker 3: Country of click. You can listen to the podcast afterwards.
Speaker 3: Had the markets fair today?
Speaker 24: Well, there was a really good night on Wall Street,
Speaker 24: so the expectations were very high for our ASX two
Speaker 24: hundred and the day started well. We came out of
Speaker 24: the blocks almost fifty points higher, but then slid during
Speaker 24: pretty much the first half hour of trade, so the
Speaker 24: market ended up closing lower. It was only just down
Speaker 24: point one percent to eighty three hundred and ninety six
Speaker 24: energy stocks where the real standout today they are up
Speaker 24: more than two percent and the dollars slide continues. It's
Speaker 24: back down to under sixty five US cents again.
Speaker 3: Inflation figures released today stable.
Speaker 24: Yes, which is great news for interstrate cuts. So the
Speaker 24: fact that it's a monthly figure for the CPI for
Speaker 24: the month of April, and it doesn't really put as
Speaker 24: much stock as the quarterly inflation figure, and the underlying
Speaker 24: figure went up a little bit, and that's the real number.
Speaker 11: Textit all the.
Speaker 24: Volatile price items that the Reserve Bank would normally look at.
Speaker 24: But the fact it's held steady within the target band
Speaker 24: range of two to three percent means that the prospect
Speaker 24: of interest rates being cut again by the Reserve Bank,
Speaker 24: possibly as early as an ext board meeting, definitely going
Speaker 24: to happen.
Speaker 11: So it's on the car.
Speaker 3: So inflation, had it gone up, they'd be going well
Speaker 3: definitely not getting a cat.
Speaker 24: I mean it's held steady and you know it's a
Speaker 24: monthly figure not, they'll be taking a closer look at
Speaker 24: the unemployment numbers. That's what they'll really factor into the equation.
Speaker 3: It's interesting when you see what is driving inflation at
Speaker 3: the moment and all the good result. Petrol I think
Speaker 3: in the last month was down by twelve percent. Food
Speaker 3: and beverage is up, specifically eggs.
Speaker 24: Yes, well, of course eggs are still really expensive. And
Speaker 24: you know what else could very much become expensive soon. Almonds.
Speaker 24: So almonds, We're gonna look at this on the show tonight. Almonds.
Speaker 24: Almond farmers are really benefiting at the moment because of
Speaker 24: the tariff war. California produces eighty percent of the world's
Speaker 24: arm and supply, but because of the tariff tip for
Speaker 24: tat war going on between the US and China, the
Speaker 24: Californian grollers have been locked out of the market. So
Speaker 24: our almond producers are stepping into the breach. They've got
Speaker 24: the highest prices for almonds in over twenty years. They're
Speaker 24: up over twelve dollars a kilo. They're set to go
Speaker 24: even higher, which is great news for our armond farmers.
Speaker 24: We're yet to see any big price hikes for people
Speaker 24: who love to eat their almonds at the supermarket. Almond
Speaker 24: milk might also been affected. A lot of people drink
Speaker 24: almond milk, plant based milk.
Speaker 3: Yeah, almond milk, coconut milk, arm Yeah.
Speaker 24: With the coffee people have instead of a SOI later
Speaker 24: they'll have an almond latte. Come on, get with it.
Speaker 3: Where are you from the shire?
Speaker 24: Exactly?
Speaker 3: We don't.
Speaker 24: We don't have a look at If you love your almonds,
Speaker 24: you might have to pay a little bit more for
Speaker 24: them soon.
Speaker 3: What's your favorite nut?
Speaker 2: I like?
Speaker 24: I do like almonds, but I'm told that walnuts are
Speaker 24: meant to be the best for your brain health as well.
Speaker 24: Walnuts they look like a little brain. The little walnuts
Speaker 24: do a bit, so I need to maybe eat some
Speaker 24: of walnuts cashest.
Speaker 3: I love cashes.
Speaker 14: Oh yeah.
Speaker 24: Pistachio is a good. A lot of work though, you know,
Speaker 24: opening them a lot of trouble. But like having prawns,
Speaker 24: you want someone else to peel them for you. Some
Speaker 24: of the pistachios.

Speaker 3: of origin coverage in Sydney, but you can listen to

Speaker 3: It should be clear this evening a little chually is
Speaker 3: somewhat though, sixteen degrees in the city right at the moment.
Speaker 3: It'll be falling, oh, probably about twelve degrees in the
Speaker 3: western suburbs this evening. Now Tomorrow, cloudy day. There is
Speaker 3: the slight chance of a shower on the coast to
Speaker 3: top nineteen degrees Friday, mostly sunny and twenty for the weekend.
Speaker 3: It looks like it's gonna be a sunny weekend, sunny
Speaker 3: in twenty on Saturday, Sonny and Sonny in twenty one
Speaker 3: degreees On Sunday it was.
Speaker 25: Steve Welbers and guy went in with a banging left arm,
Speaker 25: then came down with what a pared an elbow. So
Speaker 25: we go back to the magistrate. Oh Kyah and Lewis.
Speaker 25: They're mouthing off at each other over the top of
Speaker 25: David Man's head. Penny Eliah standing there like like David
Speaker 25: big Mark Guya towering over him. Lewis again says something to.
Speaker 3: Guia, they push and shower nineteen ninety one, the then
Speaker 3: Sydney Football Stadium. The nicest man in rugby league, who
Speaker 3: is a big part of this program, is sent from
Speaker 3: the field along with Wallie Lewis to calm the tempers down.
Speaker 26: Hello, mg haha, Clinton, how am I always always brings
Speaker 26: back memories? That doesn't I've been reminded of that incident.
Speaker 26: I reckon maybe thirty times between the time I met
Speaker 26: I left this morning on the plane, so that at
Speaker 26: the moment I've arrived here at sun Cork Stadium in
Speaker 26: half and half some people are saying, why don't you
Speaker 26: hit him?
Speaker 9: The other one going why we would have knocked you out?
Speaker 3: Guy, tell me, did you get on with Welly these days?
Speaker 14: Yeah?
Speaker 9: I do, buddy, I do. I do because.
Speaker 26: When I suspend it, when I played a game, I
Speaker 26: got to spend it for six weeks and I never
Speaker 26: played Origin again. And I was pretty dirty on Wally.
Speaker 26: You know it's going on like he did. He wanted
Speaker 26: me in jail and all that type of stuff. And
Speaker 26: it's a ruguyl League game. Come on, man, And I
Speaker 26: looked at the drawer and our next game, Penroth next
Speaker 26: game after the six weeks off was against the Gold Coast,
Speaker 26: which he happened to be Captain Kachov, but he didn't
Speaker 26: play that game, so we end up having a beer
Speaker 26: that night. And but actually we're been good mates ever
Speaker 26: since because I've done a lot of stuff for his
Speaker 26: daughter's charity, who's she's profoundly deaf, and he helps me
Speaker 26: out to my daughters who have lebs. So I had
Speaker 26: to run in cart and see him tonight and shake
Speaker 26: his hand and say gooda and yeah, look, it's that's
Speaker 26: all I wanted Water under.
Speaker 9: The Bridge, to be honest, It's something that in what thirty.
Speaker 26: Four years ago, we still talk about it, they still
Speaker 26: show it, they still you know, and I suppose for mine,
Speaker 26: you know, another thirty four years time, if what E
Speaker 26: Lewis is mentioned in Origin, will I won't be so
Speaker 26: far behind him. And that gives me a lot, That
Speaker 26: gives me a bit of solace, because that's that's not
Speaker 26: too bad, is it?
Speaker 3: To be honest, MG, I did think twice about whether
Speaker 3: I'd play that to you, because because I know everyone
Speaker 3: talks to you about it around Origin time. But I
Speaker 3: think it's actually a little bit unfair that we always do.
Speaker 3: Just draw attention that moment because you know, I know
Speaker 3: you're a modest sort of blake. You were you were
Speaker 3: the definition of origin in the back row for New
Speaker 3: South Wales. You were what origin in the early nineties
Speaker 3: was all about you. You know, you great player for
Speaker 3: Penrith obviously as well won the Grand Final there, but
Speaker 3: New South Wales wouldn't have been able the same on
Speaker 3: the field without what you were doing.
Speaker 19: Well.
Speaker 9: I was.
Speaker 26: I was kind of that twenty two year old kid
Speaker 26: who was from the western suburbs of Sydney. And I've
Speaker 26: got another I've got a chance of reseemption. I played
Speaker 26: nine euty nine when I was nineteen, my first grape,
Speaker 26: my origin to and I didn't play that well and
Speaker 26: I've got no chance and I took it with both hands.
Speaker 26: And I was told by a couple of selectors, you
Speaker 26: know they basically run out and run a mark and
Speaker 26: you won't be penalized for it. So I said that
Speaker 26: there is a rugby league god obviously, and as soon
Speaker 26: as I did do what I was supposed to do,
Speaker 26: I've got six weeks suspension. But you know what, I
Speaker 26: don't mind hearing it at all.
Speaker 9: It's it's it's said when we when we're X rugby
Speaker 9: league players all we've got his memories.
Speaker 26: Yeah, and when you when you bring you know, on
Speaker 26: the one on the way up on the plane today
Speaker 26: I'm seeing a lot of ex New South Wales players
Speaker 26: who had played against I've seen that, you know, since
Speaker 26: retired some quint Now I've been at the ground. I've
Speaker 26: seen Darren lockeyw I've seen Afy Langer and that's just
Speaker 26: great to run into that fraternity because you know, it's
Speaker 26: a hard game rugby league, and you know, when you're
Speaker 26: finish and you hang up the boots, to be able
Speaker 26: to still you know, interact with the Tomma Blake's on
Speaker 26: a social basis and a social format is fantastic and
Speaker 26: it's it's it's one part of the game that I
Speaker 26: think is very much, very underrated, the brotherhood that have.
Speaker 3: Now on this tonight's game of course, and you're going
Speaker 3: to be part of the coverage, not for the first
Speaker 3: time in the continuous called team, so we'll looking forward
Speaker 3: to that. What's the feeling like in Brisil?
Speaker 9: It's very maroon, very marone.
Speaker 26: Yes, from from the minute I jumped out of my
Speaker 26: car at the airport today. To go into the airport,
Speaker 26: you start to see a trickle of blue, and then
Speaker 26: you see a trickle of Morone. But as soon as
Speaker 26: you get into the Brisbane Airport, that's all Marone. And
Speaker 26: now I'm looking from where we're going to broadcast tonight.
Speaker 26: I'm outside here at the world. Ironically, right in the
Speaker 26: way Louis stand statue, there's all Moron, mate, there's all Marone.
Speaker 26: We're standing here in our beautiful blue two GB Paul
Speaker 26: overs or our swabby Joe's and but the rest of it,
Speaker 26: it's blue. It's Moron everywhere. I'm about to be on
Speaker 26: air tonight from six to seven with Soldi Paul Doulas,
Speaker 26: and the crowd looks pretty.
Speaker 9: Hostile, is it?
Speaker 3: Hey? Is there any word? Is there any word on
Speaker 3: Stephen Crichton, whether he's going to play mate?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 26: I know, yeah, I suppose we'll find out more. I
Speaker 26: think it's two hours before the game. Yep, they've got
Speaker 26: they've got to actually give there. So that's what the
Speaker 26: six six o'clock tonight we might know. So if you
Speaker 26: hang around listen to while Will of Sports, we might
Speaker 26: have some.
Speaker 10: More for it tonight.
Speaker 3: What's what's your prediction.
Speaker 26: I look, I think the Blues. I was talking to
Speaker 26: Darryl on the way from a hotel and he said, look,
Speaker 26: what do you like? I said, well, I like Peny. Sorry,
Speaker 26: I like New South Wales.
Speaker 10: I said.
Speaker 26: The four five Pendra players will have good even though
Speaker 26: they're not going well as a team. There's cotton neuity
Speaker 26: there so when you're tired, you look across, you see
Speaker 26: one of your mates, it's always a good feeling. I
Speaker 26: think our bench is better. I think our centers are better.
Speaker 26: But saying that this season has given us ups and
Speaker 26: downs and it's been so topsy turvy that you cannot
Speaker 26: tell me one hundred percent that either team can win
Speaker 26: tonight and have total or timing me over that victory.
Speaker 26: I just I'm thinking you South Wales maybe four points
Speaker 26: twenty to sixteen. I think Isaia his first game as captain,
Speaker 26: will have a big one.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 26: But Monster and Tina I don't both back then this
Speaker 26: last year serious they're two big ins for Queensland. So
Speaker 26: I don't know, mate.
Speaker 9: I'll look my head, my head and heart. They say
Speaker 9: New South Wales.
Speaker 26: But if I look at my tips so far this year,
Speaker 26: halfway through the competition, that could go either way.
Speaker 3: I've got my blue shirt on, I've got a New
Speaker 3: South Wales hoodie with me here as well. So god buddy,
Speaker 3: I'm tipping the Blues. I think Couey's in a win.
Speaker 9: Begg your pardon. I just you can't straight out at
Speaker 9: me last our last SoundBite.
Speaker 3: It's game one. When it's game one in Queensland, and
Speaker 3: look at the players they've got in their team. I
Speaker 3: think people are underestimating the fact that they've got Kaylen Ponger.
Speaker 3: And yes he's out of form, but he puts on
Speaker 3: a Maroon's jersey like they all do and they become
Speaker 3: super superheroes.
Speaker 9: They've got to day today.
Speaker 26: What's the day today? The twenty eighth of May, queens
Speaker 26: I have never won an Origin match on the twenty
Speaker 26: eighth of mate.
Speaker 3: Oh there we yeah, okay, New South have won. I'm
Speaker 3: tipping you, but I'm being loyal and I'm tipping you
Speaker 3: South Wales. Okay. Just before we wrap up, just confirmation
Speaker 3: through in the last half hour or so, Luckie Galvin
Speaker 3: has signed a deal with the Bulldogs.
Speaker 26: There you go.
Speaker 3: Great, So he's no longer no longer a Tiger. It's
Speaker 3: all over. We can get on with life.
Speaker 9: Ay, yes, thank you, thank you. Have a good night,
Speaker 9: Maiden Darls. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Legend MG. You'll hear him tonight. He's co hosting wild
Speaker 3: Water Sports with Peter b Soldis. I assure you I
Speaker 3: do want the Blues to win. I'm wearing a Blue shirt.
Speaker 3: I've got my official new South Wales State of Origin
Speaker 3: hoodie with me. Hannah, my producer, Hannah is shaking her head.
Speaker 3: She's wearing a Blues top as well. She's shaking her head.
Speaker 3: I just look at the Queensland line of it and
Speaker 3: think it's actually I think they're being underestimated by US Blues,
Speaker 3: Dally Cherry Evans, Cameron Munster, Harry Grant. It's a good team.
Speaker 3: And once they put on my own jerseys, you know
Speaker 3: what usually happens. I need two contestants. If you would
Speaker 3: like to play the quiz, I've got a double pass

Speaker 3: Bradfield is continuing and Nicolette Buller the Independent is narrowing
Speaker 3: the gap to Gizel Captier in the Liberal. The gap
Speaker 3: is now three, so Gzel cap Tiering is in the
Speaker 3: lead by three votes. There not even halfway through the recount, yep,
Speaker 3: but it's clearly going to be very very close. Gizel Captirian, though,
