Speaker 1: Onto GV. This is Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard.
Speaker 2: Wednesday, June eleven, one three one eight seven three. It's
Speaker 2: Clinton Maynard here broadcasting from the Western Sydney Airport with
Speaker 2: a special edition of the program. I'm standing inside the terminal.
Speaker 2: This is the sparkling new terminal that Anthony ALBERNIZI has
Speaker 2: inspected today. I'm at Gate twenty one A. This is
Speaker 2: a domestic gait and I'm looking out towards the runway.
Speaker 2: It's three point seven kilometers long and next year planes
Speaker 2: will be taking off and landing from this runway. In
Speaker 2: the background the beautiful blue mountains there in the distance,
Speaker 2: and this terminal in part is inspired by the blue mountains.
Speaker 2: It was back in the nineteen eighties the first SOD
Speaker 2: was actually turned here when Bob Hawk was Prime Minister.
Speaker 2: Of course, in the decades since there's been so much
Speaker 2: political toing and throwing. But now it's a reality and
Speaker 2: from next year this will be in full operation. The
Speaker 2: airport is spread over the size of thirteen and a
Speaker 2: half football fields. It is massive and within four years
Speaker 2: there'll be around two hundred flights. Today twenty three thousand
Speaker 2: passengers every day throughout the program, I'll give you a
Speaker 2: taste of what this airport is like and what the
Speaker 2: future holds. Will also bring you everything else that's happening
Speaker 2: in Sydney. As usual, Lucy Zelich joins me after four
Speaker 2: point thirty to stir the pot Mark guy at Talking
Speaker 2: Sport after five point thirty and will play the quiz
Speaker 2: towards the end of the show. As always, I need
Speaker 2: you to be our eyes and ears in Sydney. If
Speaker 2: it's happening now, let me know about it. Send me
Speaker 2: a text message zero four zero eight seven three eight
Speaker 2: seven three our number as always one three one eight
Speaker 2: seven three. Let's begin the program finding out a little
Speaker 2: bit more about this amazing airport that you'll be coming
Speaker 2: to next year. I'm with the CEO and Heke Simon. Congratulations.
Speaker 3: Thanks.
Speaker 4: It's a great day, a great milestone, not just for
Speaker 4: me but for the whole team. There's been eleven thousand
Speaker 4: people that have worked at this airport and it's just
Speaker 4: tremendous that we're at this point where we're now finished
Speaker 4: our major works constructions and we can get on with
Speaker 4: testing the airport and getting ready to welcome our first
Speaker 4: passengers next year.
Speaker 2: I remember this being an issue back in the nineteen
Speaker 2: eighties when I was a kid, would there be a
Speaker 2: Battery's Creek Airport? The Prime Minister made a reference to
Speaker 2: a sod even being turned when Bob Hawk was PM.
Speaker 2: It's hard to believe it's actually here now.
Speaker 4: So Barry Unsworth, an expremie arouse, once told me a
Speaker 4: story that he was there were floods in western Sydney
Speaker 4: and he was in a helicopter with Bob Hawk and
Speaker 4: they're flying around and he leans on and says, hey,
Speaker 4: Bob that there was one dry patch and he said,
Speaker 4: that's where our new airport's going to go. And of
Speaker 4: course there was a sod turn, But that means What
Speaker 4: it actually means is that there's been lots of land
Speaker 4: use planning around this airport. There's been a lot of
Speaker 4: thought put into it, and hey, we're getting closer to
Speaker 4: that day when we open to the public.
Speaker 2: We are standing here in one of the domestic gates.
Speaker 2: This is Gate twenty one A, and I'm looking out
Speaker 2: towards magnificent view. Yeah it's the Blue Mountains.
Speaker 5: Isn't this a beautiful view?
Speaker 4: So people are going to love it. I really love
Speaker 4: airports that engage you with the theater. As you're waiting
Speaker 4: for your aircraft or you're sitting waiting to board, you
Speaker 4: can look out and see the theater that's happening out
Speaker 4: on the airside.
Speaker 5: This has got great big.
Speaker 4: Windows they open up and behind that theater of what's
Speaker 4: happening directly in front of you with the aircraft, you
Speaker 4: look across and you see the beautiful blue mountains. It's
Speaker 4: a beautiful scene.
Speaker 2: Well, it is a lovely winter's day. There's hardly clad
Speaker 2: in the sky, so but that light is shining it.
Speaker 2: I mean, it might be better top. It actually puts
Speaker 2: me in a good mood.
Speaker 4: So what we've looked at, and there's been a lot
Speaker 4: of analysis on this, it's very stressful when you go
Speaker 4: through an airport. People are quite stressed. You know, am
Speaker 4: I going to make the aircraft? Where have I got
Speaker 4: to go? So what we've done at this airport, what
Speaker 4: reduces that stress is a couple of things. The first
Speaker 4: one is lots of natural light, and this airport is
Speaker 4: full of natural light. We've got highlights throughout. There's lots
Speaker 4: of natural light. We're looking out at the blue mountains
Speaker 4: here through three stories of windows all stacked on top
Speaker 4: of each other here, So that's one thing. Lots of
Speaker 4: volume of air so that I feel like and I
Speaker 4: know where I'm going, easy wayfinding, and that's what we've
Speaker 4: tried to put together at this airport.
Speaker 2: We are used to in Sydney, major projects running a
Speaker 2: little bit late. What surprises me, I'm going to say,
Speaker 2: it's a pleasant surprise driving in here and inspecting the
Speaker 2: terminal today, is the fact that this is complete, essentially
Speaker 2: more than a year before planes land the takeoff. Why
Speaker 2: if you needed to do that early.
Speaker 4: So five years ago we determined this was the date
Speaker 4: that we were going to be compluted. Our major works
Speaker 4: contracts we're going to be completed. And you know, we've
Speaker 4: had since then. We've had COVID, we've had floods, we've
Speaker 4: had bushfires, we've had plagues, we've had price escalations and
Speaker 4: labor shortages. But what we've done is.
Speaker 5: We've worked collaboratively with everybody.
Speaker 4: Across this who's been working on the airport, and we've
Speaker 4: really had a bias to action. We've really made sure
Speaker 4: that this was the safest site that we could possibly
Speaker 4: have and we've worked and resolved issues as we've gone along.
Speaker 4: We haven't left them for the end and that stood
Speaker 4: us in good stead. So I think our contractors are
Speaker 4: really happy. We're really happy, and we're here where we
Speaker 4: want it to be.
Speaker 2: Today you've confirmed and our New Zealand's confirmed they will
Speaker 2: be using this airport as well. That comes on top
Speaker 2: of Quarters Jets Singapore Airlines. Will there be more airlines
Speaker 2: in the future.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're talking to a lot of airlines. So we're
Speaker 4: talking to over thirty airlines at the moment. In the
Speaker 4: recent ROUTS conference we met with over thirty airlines.
Speaker 5: There's a lot of interest now building.
Speaker 4: We had to get to this point, you know, where
Speaker 4: there's much more surety.
Speaker 2: About when we're opening.
Speaker 4: We've got some great airlines on board, and of course
Speaker 4: we'll keep on talking to airlines. Airlines are really important
Speaker 4: to make this a vibrant airport, but we're also getting
Speaker 4: the cargo precinct up.
Speaker 2: It's a twenty four hour day airport, which is different
Speaker 2: obviously to Mascot. So is does that entice air lines
Speaker 2: or is that what there's going to be focus on.
Speaker 4: It helps for both those things. So for cargo, that's
Speaker 4: not just important for the airport, that's important for the
Speaker 4: surrounding community. It means that Amazon and Australia posts just
Speaker 4: up there in Kemps Creek can continue to grow. It
Speaker 4: means that you know there'll be more industrial around us.
Speaker 4: It means a Bradfield city building right next door to
Speaker 4: us gets more successful. But also for airlines, it means
Speaker 4: you can hit their hub banks, you can actually connect
Speaker 4: more easily, and so there'll be more opportunities for people
Speaker 4: to travel on many more different airlines to many more
Speaker 4: greater places as a result of that.
Speaker 2: Just on some of the challenging issues just on aircraft noise,
Speaker 2: it's always an issue with any airport. Do you have concerns.
Speaker 4: We've always engaged with our community, a surrounding community, and
Speaker 4: it's really important that we've brought community along with us.
Speaker 4: So already at the Experience Center, we've had over one
Speaker 4: hundred thousand visitors that have come to that airport. We've
Speaker 4: always been open and transparent about what we're doing. We
Speaker 4: are focused on the noise that we contribute here at
Speaker 4: the airport, so we've got a lot of things.
Speaker 5: We've got electric.
Speaker 4: Servicing of the aircraft that come off the aerobridges, so
Speaker 4: you don't have engine noise when you hear we'll work
Speaker 4: with the airlines to go to single engine taxing.
Speaker 5: We won't let aircraft.
Speaker 4: Will hold them at the gates rather than let them
Speaker 4: queue up so there's less noise when they take off.
Speaker 4: So we're doing a lot of things around the airport.
Speaker 4: There's been a lot of consultation and air Services and
Speaker 4: the Department of Infrastructure have taken that into account. When
Speaker 4: they've put those the flight passed again.
Speaker 2: The other big issue simon for Sydney side is the location.
Speaker 2: For many people, this is a great location, but for
Speaker 2: a lot of others it's a long way from where
Speaker 2: they live, whether it's the North, South, the East, even
Speaker 2: parts of the west. Driving here this morning, it was
Speaker 2: along Elizabeth Road, which in parts of it it's one lane.
Speaker 2: I know the M twelve will open, there'll be a metro,
Speaker 2: but it's going to be a bit of a delay
Speaker 2: until all that's operating.
Speaker 4: So we're actually quite well connected across all of Sydney.
Speaker 4: So when the M twelve opens, it connects to THEM seven,
Speaker 4: So that's a really fundamental front door for us. Them
Speaker 4: twelve connecting to the M seven means it also connects
Speaker 4: because the M seven connects to.
Speaker 2: The M four and the M five.
Speaker 4: They're the two major motorways connecting east to west in Sydney.
Speaker 4: So actually that's a really important connection. That means that
Speaker 4: you can get to Paramatta or to the CBD without
Speaker 4: hitting one set of traffic lights. That's a pretty big improvement.
Speaker 4: And depending on when you can kick get in, you know,
Speaker 4: that'll be fifty minutes to around about an hour to
Speaker 4: get into the CBD. So ultimately I think we'll be
Speaker 4: really well connected. We'll have bus services that are going.
Speaker 4: We've got plenty of car parks for people to get here.
Speaker 4: We've already upgraded the Northern Road and that's been used.
Speaker 4: We're upgrading Elizabeth Drive, we're upgrading Momroe Road. So those
Speaker 4: things are coming, and that's because this is the lynchpin
Speaker 4: for making those things happen. And that's not just for
Speaker 4: the airport, that's for everyone who lives anywhere around this area.
Speaker 4: Those upgrades are coming, and you know, I think we
Speaker 4: can be a little patient because we know that on
Speaker 4: the way.
Speaker 2: So congratulations. Who is truly impressive as somebody, as I mentioned,
Speaker 2: was a kid in the eighties hearing about this to
Speaker 2: actually see it now in twenty twenty five ahead of
Speaker 2: next year. It's fantastic, thanks very much.
Speaker 4: I think everybody is really proud of where we are today,
Speaker 4: So thank.
Speaker 2: You Western Sydney Airport. So yeah, simon here until six.
Speaker 6: This is Sydney now with Clinton Maynard on two GB
Speaker 6: call now one.
Speaker 1: Three one eight seven three.
Speaker 2: And I'm getting plenty of feedback already from you about
Speaker 2: Western City Airport. Now. Chris is making the point of
Speaker 2: the text line, imagine building a second international airport and
Speaker 2: only having one runway. We're not very smart as a country. Well,
Speaker 2: to be fair to them, Chris, they have the plans
Speaker 2: ready for the second so once the capacity is reached,
Speaker 2: and it'll probably take a more than a decade for
Speaker 2: the capacity to reach, at the moment they have the
Speaker 2: plans to build the second runway. Here, they have the space,
Speaker 2: the terminal is designed, and at the moment the terminal,
Speaker 2: the southern wall the terminal can easily be effectively opened
Speaker 2: up and the terminal itself can be extended. They have
Speaker 2: the space and the plans to do that, and then
Speaker 2: they have the location now for a second terminal. So
Speaker 2: it's very much built to expand into the future and
Speaker 2: over the coming years. It's going to take some time
Speaker 2: to ramp up. It'll be about four years until there's
Speaker 2: say two hundred flights here a day, So there is
Speaker 2: that capacity for a second airport. We'll talk about the
Speaker 2: airport throughout the program, but we'll also cover everything else.
Speaker 2: Is that happening in Sydney this afternoon? If you see
Speaker 2: something we need to know about, whether it's on the roads,
Speaker 2: the trains, the ferries, let me know. One three, one
Speaker 2: eight seveny three is our number. This is Sydney now
Speaker 2: twenty seven pass through some breaking news out of Canberra.
Speaker 2: There are some significant changes on the way for the NDIS.
Speaker 2: Health workers such as physiotherapists, dietitians and peddietrists will have
Speaker 2: playments reduced in the new financial year. Now this isn't
Speaker 2: a bid to try to reduce the cost because we
Speaker 2: know there's been a massive blowout with the NDIS. There's
Speaker 2: been a review of more than ten million transactions. It's
Speaker 2: found that many pricing limits for NDS therapies were at
Speaker 2: a step with market rates, ie they were too much.
Speaker 2: In some cases, NDS providers were charging fees that were
Speaker 2: sixty eight percent higher than the private market. So the
Speaker 2: agency's now confirmed the maximum alley rate for NDOS, physiotherapists
Speaker 2: with for instance, cut by ten dollars from the first July,
Speaker 2: so it would reduced to cap. The aim of this
Speaker 2: is to save money because, as you know, the nd
Speaker 2: ICE is completely out of control. Now, I want to
Speaker 2: cross to James Wilson, who's been at this press conference
Speaker 2: with the police in regards this chase that started in
Speaker 2: Campbelltown ended in Sydney Airport at Mascot. But during the
Speaker 2: chase it saw the driver allegedly drive through the car
Speaker 2: park off the police station. James Wilson with nine News
Speaker 2: has been at the press comens. Gooday James, today, Clinton,
Speaker 2: how are you? I'm good, So explain to me what transpired.
Speaker 7: It's a pretty.
Speaker 8: Wild story, so police are claiming it. Around one fifty
Speaker 8: this morning, there's a driver of a Ford Ranger. His
Speaker 8: name's Daniel Young. He's forty seven year old from Rose Meadow.
Speaker 8: He was allegedly high on ice and he was basically
Speaker 8: on a rampage through the Campbelltown CBD. We've got plenty
Speaker 8: of CCTV that we've collected today to show him ramming
Speaker 8: up to thirty businesses, smashing through shopfronts, causing an absolute
Speaker 8: ruckus plenty of damage. He's then what police have described,
Speaker 8: followed witnesses back to Campbelltown Police station who were going
Speaker 8: to report his behavior. He's driven through the car park
Speaker 8: obviously got the attention of officers, and then from them
Speaker 8: after smashing up to thirty shop fronts, he's got on
Speaker 8: a fifty kilometer pursuit to Sydney Airport where he's then
Speaker 8: smashed through a gate of a restricted area and crashed
Speaker 8: into a boomgate. Now that's where it all ended for
Speaker 8: Daniel Young. He was arrested by Highway patrol officers there.
Speaker 8: But my goodness, Clinton a trail of destruction in his way.
Speaker 2: To say the least, it would have cost businesses. If
Speaker 2: he's smashed through thirty odd shopfronts, it's going to cost
Speaker 2: him a hell of a lot of money.
Speaker 9: Of course.
Speaker 8: These are grocery stores, toy shops, lawyer's office and the lawyer's.
Speaker 7: Officers, all sorts of businesses you can imagine.
Speaker 8: Obviously a lot of your listeners from Kempbelltown or have
Speaker 8: been in the CBT. It's a very diverse, David.
Speaker 7: Plenty of businesses.
Speaker 8: Most of them are independently owned and run as well.
Speaker 8: He spoke to plenty of those shop owners today whill
Speaker 8: pretty devdated. Some of them were able to reopen, but
Speaker 8: at the moment there are just tradees everywhere. O'Brien's Glass
Speaker 8: is getting an absolute workout. They have to they have
Speaker 8: to replace so many window panes. Yeah, but a lot
Speaker 8: of them are hopefully are going to get up and running,
Speaker 8: but the damage is significant.
Speaker 2: So the man who is in custody at the moment,
Speaker 2: and he'll be before the courts.
Speaker 8: He has already faced the Downing Center a short time ago. Clinton,
Speaker 8: he applied to bail that was refused and in court
Speaker 8: it was mentioned that he was already on bail and
Speaker 8: a curfew for a prior offense as well.
Speaker 2: Wonderful he's allegedly got.
Speaker 8: Some form, but he'll stay in custody until his next
Speaker 8: appearance later this month.
Speaker 2: Thanks Jane. We'll see your report on nine News tonight.
Speaker 2: James Wilson And so, as James's explained here, the bloke
Speaker 2: who has been charged with this offense, with leading police
Speaker 2: on the chase, with damaging upwards of thirty shops. The
Speaker 2: goal is already on bail, allegedly high on iice and
Speaker 2: through the police car park at Campbelltown Police Station.
Speaker 6: AGAs, Update, upgrade and save with Winston with a wine
Speaker 6: in twenty five percent of motorized blinds, curtains and dawnings.
Speaker 6: Book now at Winston dot com dot aus.
Speaker 2: Hey. We got the latest. Good afternoon caty.
Speaker 10: Four, Good afternoon Clinton. As we've just heard around thirty
Speaker 10: shops have been damaged in Campbelltown, smashed in by a
Speaker 10: ute which mounted the footpath. Police chase the vehicle down
Speaker 10: the M five to a restricted section of Sydney Airport
Speaker 10: where a forty seven year old man allegedly plowed into
Speaker 10: a boomgate and was arrested. Key Allied Health workers who
Speaker 10: receive NDIS funding will have their payments slashed in the
Speaker 10: new financial year. The forty nine billion dollar scheme is
Speaker 10: seeking to bring down costs. Public hospital patients are waiting
Speaker 10: an average of three hundred and twenty two days for
Speaker 10: elective surgeries. Nurses say staff shortages are to blame, and
Speaker 10: Popstar tailor Swift has been granted a restraining order against
Speaker 10: a forty five year old man who she claims has
Speaker 10: been following her for almost a year in Sport Sharks
Speaker 10: coach Craig Fitzgibbons says it stings to see his side's
Speaker 10: recent drop off in defense. Cronulla has conceded eighty two
Speaker 10: points in their past two games. Heading into tomorrow nights
Speaker 10: NRL Derby with the Dragons. Clinton More News at four.
Speaker 2: Think k Katie. Sixteen degrees on the coast, also sixteen
Speaker 2: in Campbelltown. Tonight is the Strawberry Moon. So the June
Speaker 2: full moon is known as the Strawberry Moon, and this
Speaker 2: is going to be at full strength this evening. It
Speaker 2: is a once in every nineteen year phenomenon and it
Speaker 2: will see the moon reach its highest possible point in
Speaker 2: the southern sky. So when you see a big moon tonight,
Speaker 2: that's what you're looking at. It's the Strawberry Moon. Well,
Speaker 2: Channel ten's now confirmed. Yes, as we've been speculating over
Speaker 2: the past couple of weeks, the project is gone and
Speaker 2: it has been replaced by a new current affairs program.
Speaker 2: Peter Ford has all the details.
Speaker 11: Good afternoon, Peter, High Love Clinton.
Speaker 7: One of those stories that have been doing the rounds
Speaker 7: over the last few weeks in the speculation has proved
Speaker 7: to be not correct. So this is all official and confirmed.
Speaker 7: And announced by Channel ten. They have announced that ten
Speaker 7: News Plus is the name of the show ten News Plus,
Speaker 7: starting at six o'clock on June on its first week
Speaker 7: of July, and it goes for one hour. And they
Speaker 7: put out a very glossy pick of the ten presenters
Speaker 7: and hosts of the show. And there's a couple of
Speaker 7: old war horses in there to really good talent like
Speaker 7: Hugh Wimington, we didn't know he would be a part
Speaker 7: of it, and Angela Bishop and really terrific young talent
Speaker 7: as well. So look, I hope it goes really well
Speaker 7: for them. It must be costing a lot of money,
Speaker 7: a lot of money, you know, five nights a week,
Speaker 7: the Friday night show is not going to be a
Speaker 7: best job that had been doing the rounds as well.
Speaker 7: So that's a lot of content to be churning out,
Speaker 7: particularly when you've already stipulated that it's going to be
Speaker 7: an investigatives type of journalism form journalism. It's not going
Speaker 7: to be so much of the same day turnaround that
Speaker 7: we're used to on current affairs shows. So good luck
Speaker 7: to them, And you know, I think I'm going to
Speaker 7: watch it with a lot of interest. I just worry
Speaker 7: that the lead up time is very short.
Speaker 2: Look, I know a lot of people involved in this personally,
Speaker 2: and there's some really good long term experience journalists such
Speaker 2: as Angela Bishop, Hugh Riminton and some excellent reporters who've
Speaker 2: done really quality work overseas such as Amelia Base and
Speaker 2: Denham Hitchcock. So it's put together by Daniel Sutton. He's
Speaker 2: very well known to Sydney audiences over a long period
Speaker 2: of time. I think they'll do a really good job.
Speaker 2: But you're right they would have been spending a fev
Speaker 2: bit of money on this.
Speaker 7: Well, I would venture to suggest the cost of the
Speaker 7: show would be the same as they were probably paying
Speaker 7: for the project, because you've got so many people on
Speaker 7: the road doing stories and crews and editors, whereas the
Speaker 7: project itself was actually quite a very cheap show really
Speaker 7: to get to air, they didn't shoot that many stories
Speaker 7: on the road, But of course you were paying a
Speaker 7: huge licensing fee to Row McManus's company to actually provide
Speaker 7: the show. So that's where the money was going. So
Speaker 7: now the money redeployed into it in house production.
Speaker 2: The ABC has confirmed the Q and A program is gone.
Speaker 7: Yes, so that was not unexpected. Just before midday today,
Speaker 7: the release came out to announce that that's gone. They're
Speaker 7: talking about changing times, finding new ways to interact with
Speaker 7: the audience, and it is true. You know, clearly things
Speaker 7: have changed, and certainly in the early days of Twitter,
Speaker 7: Q and A was one of the first TV shows
Speaker 7: to really embrace that concept of using it to on
Speaker 7: air to get reactions to things. So the show won't
Speaker 7: come back in August as was planned, and look, it's
Speaker 7: had a long history, I think, unfortunately, not unlike the
Speaker 7: problem with the project is there was a perception problem
Speaker 7: that would have become too woke and too left leaning,
Speaker 7: and conservative voices weren't getting a fair or equal hearing,
Speaker 7: and that perception I think has probably done with a
Speaker 7: lot of damage.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt. Thank you, Pete. We'll talk tomorrow.
Speaker 7: Thanks Clinton.
Speaker 2: Peter Ford with entertainment used word on the street. Thanks
Speaker 2: to temper, temper a great night's sleep, night after night.
Speaker 2: The difference is temper. Michael, You've got a traffic update
Speaker 2: for us.
Speaker 8: So there's been a car into a pole on Luxid
Speaker 8: Road just before Carlo Avenue heading towards Rugy Hill Road.
Speaker 2: Son, Yes, you mount Drew it.
Speaker 12: Yeah, when I drove past, the car was smoking about
Speaker 12: the catch fire.
Speaker 13: People were trying to put it out.
Speaker 12: Looked like he was on the grass. He looked like
Speaker 12: he was okay.
Speaker 8: But I guarantee you the the car was basically in
Speaker 8: the right hand lane, so only one lane getting through
Speaker 8: and traffic will be banked up pretty soon.
Speaker 7: I reckon.
Speaker 2: Hopefully fortunately the drivers out of the car. Hopefully he's okay.
Speaker 12: Yes, yeah, that's amazing.
Speaker 13: Yeah, he's out of the car and he looked okay
Speaker 13: on the ground. So yeah, hopefully they put the car
Speaker 13: out now, but hopefully that that's going to cause a
Speaker 13: lot of coming.
Speaker 2: Thanks letting snap obviously, Yeah, thanks thanks letting us know
Speaker 2: about that. Michael. That's Luxford Road, Mount Drew, so just
Speaker 2: before Carlisle Avenue. It is southbound. There's been a car
Speaker 2: on fire, but it looks like the driver is going
Speaker 2: to be okay. But that's going to cause some traffic
Speaker 2: delays there.
Speaker 6: If it matters to you, you'll hear it here Sydney
Speaker 6: Now with Clinton Maynard until six.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: I've got a message here from Michael on the text line,
Speaker 2: why is the cricket not on free to air TV? Tonight.
Speaker 2: It's on Prime. This is an absolute travesty and I
Speaker 2: know Spiro touched on it this morning on Ben's program.
Speaker 2: I think this is a real lesson for sport in
Speaker 2: the future about how they do deals with major competition.
Speaker 2: This is the final, the ICC Championship Finals. So what
Speaker 2: this is and it's a fairly new concept, but it
Speaker 2: pits against each other the best two cricketing nations in
Speaker 2: the world and they basically receive points winning matches as
Speaker 2: over the course of a couple of years and then
Speaker 2: a final is played, so it's Australia against India and
Speaker 2: it starts tonight from seven point thirty at Lord's in London.
Speaker 2: And okay, it doesn't have the history of the Ashes
Speaker 2: because it's historically this is new, but this should be
Speaker 2: a really big deal. And the problem is a lot
Speaker 2: of people don't even realize it's on or like yourself, Michael,
Speaker 2: you're not going to be able to watch it because
Speaker 2: it's on a streaming service. And I think there's a
Speaker 2: real lesson here for sports in the future when they're
Speaker 2: negotiating their broadcast rights to be really careful of how
Speaker 2: they sell them, because the reality is the sports need
Speaker 2: to fund their competitions. They will chase the big dollars
Speaker 2: of PayTV streaming services. But you risk a sport becoming
Speaker 2: irrelevant if you sign up to the wrong service. Now, fantastic,
Speaker 2: if you have Amazon Prime tonight and you like cricket,
Speaker 2: you're going to be able to watch it. But reality
Speaker 2: is most people don't have Amazon Prime. Very few of
Speaker 2: us can afford to subscribe to all the streaming services.
Speaker 2: You gotta make a choice. That there's about a dozen
Speaker 2: streaming services now, the high profile ones. We can't have
Speaker 2: them all. And I think sports are doing themselves a
Speaker 2: disservice to the administrators if they sell out to some of
Speaker 2: these services. Now, the hardcore cricket fan may well be
Speaker 2: able to sign up to Amazon for a month and
Speaker 2: then cut their subscription. Fine, But for the passing fan,
Speaker 2: perhaps the non obsessive cricket fan, they won't be bothered,
Speaker 2: so they won't see the match, the game won't get
Speaker 2: as much publicity as really it deserves. And I think
Speaker 2: this is going to be a big issue for sports
Speaker 2: going forward. And I'd be saying the same thing if
Speaker 2: we were talking about the most popular streaming service, which
Speaker 2: is Netflix, or if we were talking about stand which
Speaker 2: is owned by this company, not entertainment. The days were
Speaker 2: actually much simpler, where we just if you want a
Speaker 2: premium sport you ended up subscribing to Foxtel. Yep. Was
Speaker 2: pretty expensive, but it was sort of simple. You either
Speaker 2: had what was on free to wear part of the
Speaker 2: anti siphoning laws, and then if you're real sports not
Speaker 2: you paid extra for Foxfelt. Now streaming services are a
Speaker 2: lot cheaper than Fox, absolutely, but because you've got about
Speaker 2: a dozen services, very few of us subscribe to the
Speaker 2: lot of them. And I think sports need to be
Speaker 2: really careful about this in the future because the ICC
Speaker 2: Championship Final tonight should be getting a lot of coverage,
Speaker 2: a lot of it's in primetime, oh for goodness sake,
Speaker 2: But cricket is doing itself out of an audience by
Speaker 2: having it on Amazon Prime, and same if it was
Speaker 2: on any of the other streaming services. At least back
Speaker 2: in the days where it was just Foxdalel, you just knew, well,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna fork out, I'm a sports lover or four
Speaker 2: big time for Foxdale. It was sort of simple. Now
Speaker 2: the world evolves, absolutely, but I think sports administrators need
Speaker 2: to take a lot of care. When they decide what
Speaker 2: they're going to do with their broadcast rights in the future.
Speaker 2: You gotta view on that. Let me know one three
Speaker 2: one eight seven three. It is Clinton Maino coming to
Speaker 2: you live from the Western Sydney International Airport. I'm just
Speaker 2: outside the terminal now, so I'm looking over the runway
Speaker 2: and so the whole precinct covers about thirteen and a
Speaker 2: half football fields. Just for some context of the size.
Speaker 2: Air New Zealand today confirmed there'll be the fourth airline
Speaker 2: to fly from here and to fly into here, Soli Cortas,
Speaker 2: Jet Star and Singapore Airlines along with Air New Zealand.
Speaker 2: The Air New Zealand flights will begin in twenty twenty seven. Now,
Speaker 2: thank you for your text messages. Thank you for pointing out. No,
Speaker 2: it is South Africa. The Aussies are playing tonight in
Speaker 2: the final of the ICC International Tour. I said India.
Speaker 2: You would thought you would thought India would have made it.
Speaker 2: You know, the South Africans are playing the Australians. But
Speaker 2: my point stands. Nevertheless, in fact, it adds to it
Speaker 2: if this was on free to wear, or if this
Speaker 2: was on a service that more of us had access
Speaker 2: to we know a lot more about this competition. One three,
Speaker 2: one eight seven three What do you think? Mark?
Speaker 9: I totally agree with Clinton stream he says, getting out
Speaker 9: of hand the price. You know, we have We've got
Speaker 9: three kids and we share our services and that, but
Speaker 9: it's getting out of hand. But as I said to
Speaker 9: the operator Layd that I'm a partner. We were we
Speaker 9: go to the Pink Test every year, and we were
Speaker 9: going to go to the three days, and we looked
Speaker 9: at prices made for for each day per person, looking
Speaker 9: at two hundred and fifty dollars ahead.
Speaker 2: That's unbelievable and it's a reality of sport. Our sports
Speaker 2: stars are very well remuterated. We understand why. But I
Speaker 2: had a look and I'm really fortunate by a yearly
Speaker 2: annual pass to go and see the Coroninla Sharks, Mark,
Speaker 2: But I had to look at the price for general
Speaker 2: admission the other day to go to Shark Park. It's
Speaker 2: more than forty bucks to stand. So it's not only
Speaker 2: the streaming services. Some of the entry for these ridiculous
Speaker 2: Good on your Mark, one three, one eight, seven to
Speaker 2: three What do you think, Bob.
Speaker 14: Oh?
Speaker 13: Good And I think that when the national team is competing.
Speaker 13: I'm part of the funding to the ABC. It should
Speaker 13: be a legislator that the ABC show national teamin you
Speaker 13: think something good with their funding.
Speaker 2: We do have the anti siphoning laws, which means significant
Speaker 2: sporting events involving national teams have to be shown on
Speaker 2: free to wear TV. Now I think the Ashes formed
Speaker 2: that category, but maybe because the ICC Championship in the
Speaker 2: final is a fairly new concept, it doesn't apply to that.
Speaker 2: But I agree with you, and I'm not saying I'm
Speaker 2: antie streaming. I've got these streaming services as well, but
Speaker 2: I don't have twelve of them. Very few of us do. Hello, Steve.
Speaker 13: Jay cleaning, How are you mate?
Speaker 2: I'm good, my friend.
Speaker 8: Did you You couldn't watch the soccer US play on
Speaker 8: TV this morning as well?
Speaker 2: And that was a national game. It was a World
Speaker 2: Cup qualifier, World.
Speaker 7: Cup player and you couldn't hear it on the radio.
Speaker 7: Why you were traveling?
Speaker 2: Well, that was what it was like back in the
Speaker 2: nineteen eighties before we had Fox Sports. I was one
Speaker 2: of those tragics, so I would stay up until the
Speaker 2: middle of the night listening to rugby league matches in
Speaker 2: the UK on Kangaroo toos for instance, when they were
Speaker 2: playing the club games. Yeah yeah, good on your yeah
Speaker 2: yeah yeah, And it just meant that there was more access.
Speaker 2: And you know, we've got to move into the modern
Speaker 2: well as well. So it's not to say that streaming
Speaker 2: services is bad. It's great. We can see every single
Speaker 2: sport under the sun. But you've got to draw the
Speaker 2: line somewhere. Point made here from one of our listeners.
Speaker 2: I've actually got a couple of messages. You see that
Speaker 2: that Amazon Prime's only six ninety one a month, so
Speaker 2: it's not much and it's a lot cheaper than Foxdell,
Speaker 2: no question about that. But my point is if you're
Speaker 2: a cricket tragic, yep, you might not want Amazon Prime
Speaker 2: for twelve months of the year, so you sign up
Speaker 2: for just this month. Fantastic. But Cricket Australia and the ICC,
Speaker 2: who be in control of the broadcast rights, they're doing
Speaker 2: themselves out of the passing fan. They're doing themselves as
Speaker 2: accessing the fan who's not obsessed with it. And we'll
Speaker 2: just go on and I couldn't be bother at handing
Speaker 2: over my credit card details with that particular service. I'm
Speaker 2: with Professor David Holme who's the principal with Cox Architecture.
Speaker 2: The brain's behind this magnificent building, the terminal for the
Speaker 2: new Western Sydney Airport, which we're standing in at the moment.
Speaker 15: Well, firstly, congratulations, thank you. I'm not sure it's brains.
Speaker 15: There's lots of emotion in here as well too. We
Speaker 15: set out to create and craft and experiences that was
Speaker 15: about the center place of Western Sydney absolutely and Australia,
Speaker 15: so that when people land or apart from here, they
Speaker 15: can get that sort of hair on the back of
Speaker 15: the neck tingle about. You know what an amazing experience.
Speaker 15: This can be welcome to Australia.
Speaker 2: All of us in Sydney, most of us in Sydney
Speaker 2: have spent time at Mascot Kingsford Smith. It's an airport
Speaker 2: that's been with us for generations. So once you walk
Speaker 2: into this terminal, the feel is just so different.
Speaker 15: Yeah, we wanted to embed it in Western Sydney, to
Speaker 15: really Western Sydney, which of course we all love Sydney
Speaker 15: and the great things the harbor, et cetera that comes
Speaker 15: with that. But this is about different sorts of materials
Speaker 15: and so the idea really, especially of the soaring ceiling
Speaker 15: is an idea of walking through a Cumberland forest. And
Speaker 15: so we we sort of without permission, went onto the
Speaker 15: Western Sydney Airport site some seven years ago and took
Speaker 15: some bark and held it up and imagine what light
Speaker 15: might be coming like through the bark, through the bark
Speaker 15: as a forest. Just describe that ceiling to me. So
Speaker 15: the idea is that we're leading natural light in what
Speaker 15: you'll see when you walk around the terminal as well.
Speaker 16: Too.
Speaker 15: We've let natural light come really deep down into the space,
Speaker 15: so not just the upper levels, but down into the
Speaker 15: lower levels. That's not a common thing in airports. Often
Speaker 15: they get the light is on the upper level only.
Speaker 15: So we've been able to modify the plan to let
Speaker 15: that light pierce down deep inside. So hopefully people traveling
Speaker 15: in and out from Australia to Western Sydney get that
Speaker 15: first experience.
Speaker 2: This is a beautiful crisp light coming into the terminal.
Speaker 2: I was standing at the gate slid earlier and you've
Speaker 2: got the view of the runway pair, but you've also
Speaker 2: had a view out west all the way to the
Speaker 2: Blue Mountains. Rrect's correct.
Speaker 15: We think that the architecture of Australia is sort of
Speaker 15: deeply rooted in landscape, so some metaphors we wanted to
Speaker 15: achieve were those views to the Blue mountains. The idea
Speaker 15: at the front here the analogy is the Verandah and
Speaker 15: the space that's in the middle is called the Great
Speaker 15: Australian Light sort of no pun intended. So we wanted
Speaker 15: to embed the building as much as possible whilst there
Speaker 15: are functional aspects that need to happen. Is that this
Speaker 15: is a landscape building. It's about being an Australia's great landscape.
Speaker 2: Now talking about a landscape, we are standing next to
Speaker 2: some beautiful stone.
Speaker 15: Yes, Central Coast quarries here, the tazos you'll see chosen
Speaker 15: they're from the Nepean River, so the colors here are
Speaker 15: actually from the local area. And then the idea again
Speaker 15: of the Cumberland forest we're standing underneath. So those elements
Speaker 15: are really sort of.
Speaker 2: The core palette. But hopefully what we'll see is the.
Speaker 15: Great Sway, the airline uniforms and the great colors of
Speaker 15: the multicultural people of Western Sydney coming through and actually
Speaker 15: adding that day to day.
Speaker 2: Life when you work at a project like this, is
Speaker 2: it all encompassing or do you juggle other projects and
Speaker 2: it is all encompassing. This was a true sort of
Speaker 2: passion of pleasure.
Speaker 15: Our partners, Zahara Did's, were in London, so we had
Speaker 15: two teams going between London and Sydney as well too,
Speaker 15: and we wanted that best of best of local, best
Speaker 15: of international.
Speaker 2: But it's an all encompassing thing.
Speaker 15: So days like today are amazing because it's sort of
Speaker 15: a sleepless night beforehand, you know, contemplating, you know.
Speaker 2: The sort of the great outcome that we all think
Speaker 2: it is. We're very proud of it. How does it
Speaker 2: compare to other major projects you've worked on.
Speaker 15: We're very lucky that we do public projects in Sydney.
Speaker 15: We've just finished a series of metro projects Sydney Football Stadium,
Speaker 15: so you know, we're lucky that we get to work
Speaker 15: on some of these sort of magnificent public buildings and public.
Speaker 2: Life is what we're interested in. So it's right right
Speaker 2: up there. And I actually commanded it to some people
Speaker 2: here earlier that much of this actually some of it
Speaker 2: does remind me of the metro stations, and I think
Speaker 2: are magnificent because they have a real airport, fresh clean
Speaker 2: feel about them.
Speaker 15: Yes, well, Victoria Cross is one of my baby's soft
Speaker 15: there's any similarity between children, maybe maybe that's no coincidence.
Speaker 2: David, congratulations, Thank you very much.
Speaker 6: You want to know what's happening in Sydney.
Speaker 1: Stay tuned to Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard on to.
Speaker 2: Gb Professor David Holme, who's the principal of Cox Architecture.
Speaker 2: He was the main architect behind the airport. Peter's got
Speaker 2: a good question on the text line, will there be
Speaker 2: a McDonald's at the new airport well while the terminal
Speaker 2: building is complete? Rest assured. I did work walk through
Speaker 2: the food court a little earlier. Now. I do have
Speaker 2: a policy whenever I travel, not that I'm scared of flying,
Speaker 2: but I make sure that I have McDonald's in every
Speaker 2: city that I go to. I have to have McDonald's
Speaker 2: in every single airport wherever I am around the world
Speaker 2: in my limited travels. So I did seek out the
Speaker 2: McDonald's today at the Western Cydny International Airport. It hasn't
Speaker 2: opened yet, but unreliably informed that it will be opening.
Speaker 2: It is three to four. The Mount's Care Care flight
Speaker 2: helicopter has helped those involved with a motorcycling car crash
Speaker 2: on the Northern Beaches at Belrose today specialist doctor and
Speaker 2: paramedics treat the young man who unfortunately was involved in
Speaker 2: this accident. He was then airlifted to the Royal north
Speaker 2: Shaw Hospital serious but stable condition. But it looks like
Speaker 2: he's going to be okay. One of the most popular
Speaker 2: breweries in the Inner West you might know it, Young Henry's,
Speaker 2: may be in some trouble. There's some fear that it
Speaker 2: may well be demolished. There is a plan for a
Speaker 2: six story apartment complex and Young Henry's, and that there've
Speaker 2: been brewing beers in a Newtown warehouse since about twenty twelve.
Speaker 2: There's some fear that if this is approved, this six
Speaker 2: story apartment complex, that Young Henry's would have to find
Speaker 2: another location. Now that they're pretty popular, aren't they, Young
Speaker 2: Young Henry people love that crafty is very popular these days.
Speaker 2: I'm sure they'll find another location, but there's some concern
Speaker 2: that they won't be able to brew at a Newtown anymore. Well.
Speaker 2: Katie Perry has just wrapped up her concert series in Sydney.
Speaker 2: She played again last night the Cutos Bank Arena. It's
Speaker 2: Sydney Olympic part the third concerts sellout concerts as well well.
Speaker 2: News today. Now, I don't usually indulge in gossip, but
Speaker 2: apparently it's very serious. Katie Perry and Orlando Brimm's relationship
Speaker 2: is on the rocks, so it's hot and cold. Now,
Speaker 2: I wonder whether this has anything to do with the
Speaker 2: stage invadive the other night. Now, that was a bloke
Speaker 2: by the name of Pajama Man. Now, from what I've
Speaker 2: been told, I'm not a massive Katie Perry fan, but
Speaker 2: I know people who are. Katie apparently took a bit
Speaker 2: of a lighting to Pajama Man. Quite impressive. I think
Speaker 2: he's a social media create of some sort. So I mean,
Speaker 2: I know Orlando Bloom is a Hollywood star at all.
Speaker 2: First start in The Lord of the Rings, what twenty
Speaker 2: five years ago, massive star, and they've got kids and
Speaker 2: they're very well. They were a loving couple. But the
Speaker 2: reports now out of Hollywood is apparently the relationship could
Speaker 2: be in a spot of bother. On the text line,
Speaker 2: if you'd like to send me a text message zero
Speaker 2: force zero eight seven three eight seven three. Gregg's making
Speaker 2: the point that Amazon Prime's Basic package, if you want
Speaker 2: to see the Cricket Tonight has actually increased in price.
Speaker 2: It was six ninety nine a month. They're now charging
Speaker 2: nine to ninety nine a month, which is a lot
Speaker 2: cheaper than say Foxdell, and you can you can end
Speaker 2: your subscription. I think after a month. Matt's making the point.
Speaker 2: Used to get Vight Supercars on Channel ten Channel seven,
Speaker 2: but now it's virtually all fox Ko exclusive, so you
Speaker 2: hardly see. I think it's only a couple of rounds
Speaker 2: per year on seven. Coming up next our Lucy Zelich.
Speaker 1: This is it now we've clinched on.
Speaker 17: To g.
Speaker 2: It is to Mainard broadcasting from the Western Sydney International Airport.
Speaker 2: Today the terminal has been officially unveiled. They've completed construction
Speaker 2: and it's quite magnificent. I've spent a fair bit of
Speaker 2: time in it. Now. I'm overlooking the terminal now from
Speaker 2: the outside, just near the runway. The runway is three
Speaker 2: point seven kilometers long. This precinct covers thirteen and a
Speaker 2: half football fields. The precinct is massive. Now, it's not
Speaker 2: the biggest terminal in the country. It's roughly the size
Speaker 2: of Adelaide Airport. But what this does have is capacity
Speaker 2: for the future. So there is the capacity for a
Speaker 2: second runway here, there's the capacity for a second terminal here.
Speaker 2: We'll hear about what Anthony Albernizi has had to say.
Speaker 2: He attended the unveiling today. But I just want to
Speaker 2: quickly cross to Mark in Laylor Park. If you see
Speaker 2: something happening in Sydney, certainly let me know about it.
Speaker 2: Text messages zero force zero eight seven three eight seven three. Mark,
Speaker 2: you've seen the CareFlight helicopter in your neighborhood.
Speaker 18: Yes, Clinton landa Darnie Johannan just off Johnson Anue in
Speaker 18: New seven Hills High and took off again and then
Speaker 18: briefly landed again in the baseball park just off Northcotte Road.
Speaker 18: Poll Air was in there also, and apparently some police
Speaker 18: cars my neighbors came screaming out of that area.
Speaker 2: So just to clarify that, So Mark, just to clarify
Speaker 2: it actually landed, took off again, but landed for a
Speaker 2: second time.
Speaker 18: Yeah, that's correct. From New seven Hills High the first
Speaker 18: time and then briefly in the baseball park just off
Speaker 18: Northcotte Road.
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, that's a little unusual. We'll speak to the
Speaker 2: police now and try to find out what's going on.
Speaker 2: Thank you for letting me know about that. Word on
Speaker 2: the street is thanks to temper, a great night's sleep
Speaker 2: night after night. The difference is temper. Matt is telling
Speaker 2: me as well. There is a road closed cow pasta
Speaker 2: road heading eastbound. Some dramas there just near a Densi Road. Okay,
Speaker 2: so is that around at Densi Park. There are some
Speaker 2: major delays there. We'll speak with Steve at the moment
Speaker 2: trying to find out what's happening there. If you do
Speaker 2: see something around Sydney, let me know. One three one
Speaker 2: eight seven three until six.
Speaker 6: This is Sydney now with Clinton Maynard on two GB
Speaker 6: Call now.
Speaker 1: One three one eight seven three.
Speaker 2: Well, the Prime Minister Anthony Abernezi was here at Western
Speaker 2: Sydney International Airport this morning and he conducted the official unveiling.
Speaker 2: I should point out the airport has not officially opened.
Speaker 2: Flights won't be departing and flying into this airport until
Speaker 2: late next year. Within four years, there'll be roughly two
Speaker 2: hundred a day, around twenty three thousand passengers, and there'll
Speaker 2: be a big focus on freight as well, because unlike Mascot,
Speaker 2: this is going to be a twenty four to seven airport.
Speaker 2: Anthony Abernesi said today this is symbolic in the confidence
Speaker 2: the nation has in Western Sydney and Western Sydney is
Speaker 2: the third biggest economy behind Central Sydney and Melbourne.
Speaker 14: For a long time, this great city has looked towards
Speaker 14: the harbor as if that is its center. What we
Speaker 14: know is that the center of population is here in
Speaker 14: Western Sydney. And what this airport will do not just
Speaker 14: a runway and a terminal, but the aratropolis which will
Speaker 14: grow around it with the Bradfield City, is to be
Speaker 14: a catalyst for economic activity and for Sydney to look out.
Speaker 1: Not just in.
Speaker 2: Now. As I look around the airport precinct, there's not
Speaker 2: a lot of population right here, but this is where
Speaker 2: the potential is for growth in Sydney. Bradfield is what
Speaker 2: the city he will be known as eventually. What is
Speaker 2: crucial with the transport links to the airport, So the
Speaker 2: metro line will not open next year when the flights
Speaker 2: are flying, that's probably another two years away, and it
Speaker 2: should be pointed out the Metro is not going to
Speaker 2: run directly to the airport now, which I think is
Speaker 2: a mistake by the Men's government and the federal compan's
Speaker 2: involved with funding the Metro as well. The Metro is
Speaker 2: going to go from here, and I can see the
Speaker 2: crane to the moment. They're constructing the station here to
Speaker 2: S Mary's train station. But s Mari's train station is
Speaker 2: you know, is not a Metro. That's a heavy rail station,
Speaker 2: and I think there should be a direct Metro line
Speaker 2: here by road. The M twelve motorway will operate between
Speaker 2: them seven and this airport. The road's pretty much completed.
Speaker 2: They're working on the interchange at the moment, so you'll
Speaker 2: see a lot of rope works here that should be
Speaker 2: complete not too long after the airport officially opens. For
Speaker 2: a lot of Sydney side, it's going to take a
Speaker 2: long time to get here. It will depend where you live.
Speaker 2: What is going to be crucial is public transport as well.
Speaker 2: This airport has been on the agenda, believe it or not,
Speaker 2: since the nineteen forties. Badriz Creek was first identified as
Speaker 2: the potential location for a second airport. Yes back in
Speaker 2: the nineteen forties, and this was a big issue right
Speaker 2: throughout the nineteen eighties and Albo has conceded is still
Speaker 2: a very controversial location.
Speaker 14: This airport has not been uncontroversial over the years. I
Speaker 14: spoke about the ne for this airport at this site in.
Speaker 2: My first speech in ninety six.
Speaker 17: And the truth is.
Speaker 14: That a sod was turned on this airport in Bob
Speaker 14: Hawk's government a long time ago. It was then disrupted
Speaker 14: with the change of government in nine ninety six and
Speaker 14: then took some time to turn around the debate.
Speaker 2: That's right. The sod was actually turned in the very
Speaker 2: early nineteen nineties, towards the end of Bob Hawk being
Speaker 2: the Prime minister. But it was actually a coalition government
Speaker 2: that hit the go button in the end about fifteen
Speaker 2: years ago. Anthony Abernezi has made it very clear that
Speaker 2: he wants to be the man who's cutting the ribbon.
Speaker 1: In the lead up to May three.
Speaker 14: It was an incentive for my re election, not the
Speaker 14: only one, it must be said, but an incentive that
Speaker 14: I thought, how good would it be that something that
Speaker 14: was very much a passion of mine and which people
Speaker 14: dismissed as a crazy idea that would never come to fruition,
Speaker 14: that I would get to open it as Prime minister.
Speaker 14: So Minister, you're no chance of the opening going forward
Speaker 14: with respect the CEO, you're less chance I'll be back
Speaker 14: here and I want a bloody big plark.
Speaker 2: The Prime Minister yes that opening will be at some
Speaker 2: point next year. Dates still to be confirmed. And as
Speaker 2: the PM says, he wants a bloody big plark.
Speaker 6: If it's happening in Sydney, you'll hear it on Sydney
Speaker 6: Now with Clinton on.
Speaker 2: T GB thirteen past. Four figures have been released today
Speaker 2: that shows the number of people waiting for elective surgery,
Speaker 2: or as the Health miss Rhyme Park calls it. He
Speaker 2: calls it planned surgery because unless it's cosmetic surgery, most
Speaker 2: surgery is not something actually want. It's planned you need it.
Speaker 2: But the number of people waiting has now hit a
Speaker 2: near peak. It's almost as many as during COVID when
Speaker 2: elective surgery was paused one hundred thousand, six hundred and
Speaker 2: seventy eight. The concern for the government, and the bigger
Speaker 2: concern is for you if you're actually on an elective
Speaker 2: surgery waiting list. Is the number of people who are
Speaker 2: waiting longer than recommended. It is now eighty five hundred
Speaker 2: and eighty seven and that's an increase. Now the Men's
Speaker 2: government when they came to power that they had a
Speaker 2: program to put more resources into reducing this number, and
Speaker 2: today they've announced they'll invest another twenty three million dollars.
Speaker 2: Well they need to because there's still an enormous amount
Speaker 2: of pressure. Admission to emergency department has actually fallen three
Speaker 2: point one percent on the same period are you earlier,
Speaker 2: So that's actually slightly encouraging. Mind you, we're now heading
Speaker 2: into the winter period when most of the pressure is
Speaker 2: actually experienced in emergency. Matt Daily is the new South
Speaker 2: Wales Health Deputy Secretary and joins us thank you for
Speaker 2: your time, Matt.
Speaker 11: Yeah, gooday. Clinton.
Speaker 2: Look that these figures as the Health mister has acknowledged
Speaker 2: today for elective surgery and not great.
Speaker 11: Oh no they're not. And it's certainly not where where
Speaker 11: we in the Ministry of Health and certainly the government
Speaker 11: and the Minister right Park want to see them. But
Speaker 11: I think you really hit the nail on the head
Speaker 11: with that introduction there, Clinton, is that and that is
Speaker 11: what really matters, is not whether we have one hundred
Speaker 11: thousand or ninety thousand patients scheduled to be treated, it's
Speaker 11: those who are breaching the clinically recommended time, and that's
Speaker 11: where there's the potential and the risk for less than
Speaker 11: ideal outcome. So that's why the focus and the report
Speaker 11: released today from the Bureau of Health Information that's an
Speaker 11: independent reporting body to health, has highlighted that at the
Speaker 11: end of that quarter, the March quarter, that we've grown
Speaker 11: to about seven thousand cases that have breached their recommended
Speaker 11: time to be treated, and that's what government has responded
Speaker 11: to and that's what we're working right across the state
Speaker 11: to address.
Speaker 2: So year on year, it's an increase of one hundred
Speaker 2: and fifty one percent. It was one hundred and seventy
Speaker 2: patients year ago for the first quarter up now five
Speaker 2: and eighty seven. What is the key driver of that increase?
Speaker 11: Unfortunately, like most things in Hellscalene, it's never one thing.
Speaker 11: If it was only one thing, it'll be a lot easier.
Speaker 11: It a fix so that the multitude issues, not least
Speaker 11: of which is a growth in surgical numbers of seventy
Speaker 11: seven point seven point five percent, so seven and a
Speaker 11: half percent year on year. We've seen that demand grow
Speaker 11: and it's also just through the incremental aging of the population.
Speaker 11: There are seasonality issues that have exacerbated as well. But
Speaker 11: I think the most pleasing part is that the early
Speaker 11: data is actually indicating withouts trending down now. But you know,
Speaker 11: we've we've got quite a few months to go before
Speaker 11: we actually get it down to those pre pandemic levels
Speaker 11: that we thought.
Speaker 2: Because as I mentioned when I mentioned just before that
Speaker 2: when Ryan Park became Health Minister, he created what was
Speaker 2: called the Surgical Care task Force. There was specifically given
Speaker 2: the job of addressing this issue. And that task force
Speaker 2: Matt to my knowledge, is still in existence. Has something
Speaker 2: gone wrong with it?
Speaker 11: No, the task force actually set a really clear guidance
Speaker 11: of the system that the system has picked up and
Speaker 11: carried forward with many of the members of that task
Speaker 11: force continue in that role. I co share that task
Speaker 11: force with pros and now Merit, who's an eminent surgeon,
Speaker 11: and it's about carrying that work on and where we've
Speaker 11: apart from what's hit us this year with that growth
Speaker 11: in planned surgery presentations and numbers, it's really been the
Speaker 11: government responding as they did with one hundred and eighty
Speaker 11: million dollars announced late last year. That money now is
Speaker 11: flowing right through the system and we're seeing that about
Speaker 11: actually turning those figures around. But it's a little bit
Speaker 11: like steering the Queen Mary. You know, once your set
Speaker 11: are in place, then there's no stopping it. And I'm
Speaker 11: really confident working with the system that we've got it
Speaker 11: actually in inner groove to actually get those numbers to
Speaker 11: where they should be.
Speaker 2: So the Health Minister today is announced be an extra
Speaker 2: twenty three million dollars of funding the budgets about to
Speaker 2: be handed down to reduce the waiting times. So what
Speaker 2: is actually twenty three million dollars effectively buy you, Well, it's.
Speaker 11: The twenty three million on top of one hundred and
Speaker 11: eighty million. So we're talking really about a package that
Speaker 11: will flow through this year and into the new year
Speaker 11: in a new financial year of two hundred million dollars
Speaker 11: that will address.
Speaker 2: The social number. Does that pay for instance, we know
Speaker 2: we're shorter nurses and they've got their own industrial to
Speaker 2: battle moment, but does that paper nurses over time so
Speaker 2: you can fit in more elective surgeries?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 11: Again, the solution a multitude of approaches and every hospital
Speaker 11: has different demographics to do it sometimes and because of
Speaker 11: the certainty of this money that we've now gone in
Speaker 11: the system for the next next one to two years.
Speaker 11: This will enable hospital general managers and directors of nursing
Speaker 11: to actually recruit perioperative nursing staff, recruit in the point
Speaker 11: additional surgeons or anestus where a short term funding that
Speaker 11: had been provided in past in past years really just
Speaker 11: sees a saw tooth effect of ramping up activity and
Speaker 11: then ramping it down. Whereas this is a constant flow
Speaker 11: of money now where people can plan.
Speaker 1: And deliver it.
Speaker 11: At most importantly that the tax barony South Wales at
Speaker 11: the most efficient price, which is not through premium labor
Speaker 11: and the like.
Speaker 2: Yep, hopefully it workss of your time, Matte, no please
Speaker 2: Matt Dailey who's the new South Wales Health Deputy Secretary.
Speaker 2: He co chairs that task force that's trying to sort
Speaker 2: out this problem. Look, you know, when it comes down
Speaker 2: to it, When it comes down to it for you,
Speaker 2: you probably don't care about these sheer numbers, the fact
Speaker 2: there's eight and a half thousand people are over due
Speaker 2: for their surgery. You care about it if it's you
Speaker 2: or it's your loved ones. Well you tell me, are
Speaker 2: you on one of these waiting lists? How long have
Speaker 2: you been waiting for the surgery that you need, not
Speaker 2: the surgery you want, the surgery that you actually need.
Speaker 2: How long do you have to wait? Let me know
Speaker 2: one three, one eight seven to three. Just an update
Speaker 2: on the CareFlight helicopter, the Mountain's care Care Flight helicopter
Speaker 2: that landed in Layla Park. It actually landed twice. Thanks
Speaker 2: for letting us know about that. We've just spoken with
Speaker 2: New South Wales Ambulance off air. We are told it
Speaker 2: relates to a mental health issue. That's why the helicopter
Speaker 2: landed in Laylor Park. Lucy Zilich coming up on the program.
Speaker 2: She has her own take on the trad wife trend.
Speaker 2: I must admit I haven't come across the trad wife trend.
Speaker 2: We're going to talk to Lucy about that. One three,
Speaker 2: one eight seven three is our number. Shall take your
Speaker 2: cause as well in the next half hour of the program.
Speaker 2: Police are still speaking with a twelve year old boy
Speaker 2: following a fatal stabbing in Broken Hill last week. It
Speaker 2: was last Thursday. Emergency services were called to a home
Speaker 2: in Broken Hill in Duff Street very late at night.
Speaker 2: It was just before midnight. They arrived. They found a
Speaker 2: thirty six year old man had been stabbed Now, paramedics
Speaker 2: were on the scene fairly quickly in Broken Hill and
Speaker 2: they attended to the man, but he couldn't be revived,
Speaker 2: He couldn't be safety. He died at the scene. Well,
Speaker 2: police have been investigating since last Thursday. They've now confirmed
Speaker 2: to us today the twelve year old boy is assisting
Speaker 2: them with their inquiries. Now I should point out that
Speaker 2: twelve year old has not been charged and police say
Speaker 2: that legal advice is still being sought in relation to
Speaker 2: this matter. The exact detail is actually very unclear in
Speaker 2: this matter, but what police have confirmed to us is
Speaker 2: they are speaking with a twelve year old boy. We
Speaker 2: were talking about streaming services a little earlier and sport,
Speaker 2: and for instance, tonight's ICC Championship decider between South Africa Australia,
Speaker 2: being played in London, begins tonight at seven thirty prime time,
Speaker 2: but many Aussies won't see it because they don't subscribe
Speaker 2: to Amazon Prime. And I think sporting organizations need to
Speaker 2: be really careful when they're selling their rights and understand
Speaker 2: they've got to make a lot of money to pay
Speaker 2: the players. They need to be careful that they don't
Speaker 2: lose fans as a result. Grants making the point it
Speaker 2: was this morning that was ridiculous. I woke up at
Speaker 2: four fifteen in the morning to watch the Soccer wo's
Speaker 2: last World Cup qualifier game against Saudi Arabia. I did
Speaker 2: to find out it was on paramount plus not ten play.
Speaker 2: So it was on ten for the Japanese game, which
Speaker 2: was last week. The national soccer team they just made
Speaker 2: the sixth straight World Cup, which is an amazing achievement
Speaker 2: for the soccer US not on free to wear now
Speaker 2: the reason for that would be and this would be
Speaker 2: the way the eighty siphoning laws work. The match against
Speaker 2: Japan last week was in Perth. That was in Perth,
Speaker 2: so because it was on Australian soil it had to
Speaker 2: be shown on free to wear. But because the match
Speaker 2: against Saudi Arabia was overseas, didn't have to be on
Speaker 2: free to wear and as a result, soccer they miss out.
Speaker 2: They miss out. I am broadcasting live from the Western
Speaker 2: Sydney International Airport. Now Jetstar will be one of the
Speaker 2: carriers that operates from here from next year. So the
Speaker 2: first three carriers Cortas, Jetstar, Singapore Airlines and then Air
Speaker 2: New Zealand will come on board in twenty twenty seven,
Speaker 2: and I'll speak with the boss of Air New Zealand
Speaker 2: in the next hour of the program. But Cortuss today
Speaker 2: confirm that it's closing down the Singapore based operations of
Speaker 2: Jetstar so Jetstar Asia. Effectively, they haven't been able to
Speaker 2: compete with other low cost airlines across Southeast Asia. They
Speaker 2: have been flying sixteen routes across the region, but they've
Speaker 2: been losing money. They posted a statutory loss of thirty
Speaker 2: five million dollars and it means that there'll actually be
Speaker 2: planes coming back to our fleet. Vanessa Hudson, who's the
Speaker 2: Quantus CEO, has confirmed the jobs will go, but they
Speaker 2: will be jobs based in Singapore. Five hundred positions in
Speaker 2: Singapore will go, but one hundred jobs will be created here,
Speaker 2: which is some good news to the Australian aviation industry.
Speaker 2: It's twenty eight past four.

Speaker 2: And Katie Fuller has all the latest.
Speaker 10: Good Afternoon, Clinton, physiotherapists, dietitians and podiatrists will have NDIS
Speaker 10: payments cut in the next financial year in a bid
Speaker 10: to bring down costs. The NDIS agency says some providers
Speaker 10: have been charging significantly more than the market rate. A
Speaker 10: car has gone up in flames in Sydney's West passes
Speaker 10: By helped remove the driver and passenger from the vehicle
Speaker 10: at Bidwell. A man has been fined four thousand dollars
Speaker 10: after admitting to really stupid behavior when he climbed a
Speaker 10: cruise ship row in Sydney Harbor. George Frederick Carr pleaded
Speaker 10: guilty to three offenses over what he called a stunt.
Speaker 10: Its circular key and three days of Morning has been
Speaker 10: declared in Austria after ten people were killed in a
Speaker 10: school shooting in Sport. Bulldog's winger Jacob Carraz has been
Speaker 10: called into the New South Wales Blues camp for tomorrow's
Speaker 10: training session. Brian to is battling a hamstring Nigel, putting
Speaker 10: him in doubt for next week's second State of Origin clash.
Speaker 10: Clinton More News at five.
Speaker 2: Think Katie, fifteen degrees in the coast, also fifteen degrees
Speaker 2: here at the Sydney Western Sydney International Airport. Dave's making
Speaker 2: the point because Albow when he inspected the airport this morning,
Speaker 2: made it very clear that he wants to be one
Speaker 2: to cut the ribbon, he said, and to quote him,
Speaker 2: there'll be a bloody big plaque, let's say, Anthony Albelizi,
Speaker 2: David says, I was actually led to believe that the
Speaker 2: granddaughter of Nancy bird Walton was going to open the
Speaker 2: new airport. Now we are referring to the airport today
Speaker 2: of the Western Sydney International Airport, but it will be
Speaker 2: the Nancy bird Walton Airport and officially that will be
Speaker 2: the title to be used once it's open. Now we'll
Speaker 2: check that out, but that would make complete sense. Now
Speaker 2: I'm sure Anthony Albernezi will be at the ceremony, but
Speaker 2: it would make complete sense for Nancy bird Walton's granddaughter,
Speaker 2: as the pioneering female aviator, that she would be the
Speaker 2: one to cut the ribbon.
Speaker 1: On Sydney. Now you can't handle the truth. The straighttion to.
Speaker 2: Lucy's elich is my straight shooter for a Wednesday afternoon
Speaker 2: back in our Piemont studios. But Lucy, as a resident
Speaker 2: of the Hills District, this location of the Western Sydney
Speaker 2: International airport. This is for people in the hills. This
Speaker 2: may prove to be a great location for the international airport.
Speaker 19: I think it'd be fantastic, to be honest. Do you
Speaker 19: think about the infrastructure in our city? And good afternoon
Speaker 19: to Clinton and all of our listeners, by the way,
Speaker 19: thanks for having me as usual every week. But you
Speaker 19: think about the infrastructure of our city and how congested
Speaker 19: it is. I mean to get out of here, out
Speaker 19: of Piermont where we are here at two gben Now
Speaker 19: Studios at a five o'clock of any afternoon during the
Speaker 19: week Monday to Friday, it's absolute chaos and sheer bedlam
Speaker 19: to make your way over to the airport, say for example,
Speaker 19: through those particular times. It's so challenging and you have
Speaker 19: to plan so far ahead. So I think that something
Speaker 19: like this would actually be so beneficial to the community out.
Speaker 1: In the West.
Speaker 2: I think it certainly will be long term. I wouldn't
Speaker 2: be surprised if it's a slow start, particularly for passengers.
Speaker 2: I think cargo will be a really big feature in
Speaker 2: the early years, because this is a twenty four to
Speaker 2: seven operation. Unlike Mascot and Look, I traveled from the
Speaker 2: South this morning. I used the five them seven before
Speaker 2: moving on to Elizabeth Drive to get here, and the
Speaker 2: M seven was a bit of a nightmare this morning
Speaker 2: because of roadworks. But once once the transport infrastructure is
Speaker 2: working properly, I think it'll be okay by the car.
Speaker 2: But what I think they're going to need to do,
Speaker 2: and the pressure should be on the Men's government, but
Speaker 2: also the Albanezi government is for a direct me tro line.
Speaker 2: It's great the metro will run between here and some Mary's,
Speaker 2: but it means that you need to use the heavy
Speaker 2: rail to some Mariys, which is going to be difficult
Speaker 2: and it'll put a lot of people off. So I
Speaker 2: think we needed erect metro route here.
Speaker 17: I think so too.
Speaker 19: And again it just goes back to that point that
Speaker 19: I've made. The infrastructure in this city is not designed
Speaker 19: to really meet the demands and the needs of the
Speaker 19: population that we have here in Sydney. And I mean
Speaker 19: we're talking about a housing crisis as well. We've got
Speaker 19: people that require more homes. We're in a situation where
Speaker 19: you've got politicians like clar O'Neil coming out and declaring
Speaker 19: themselves as a nimby or an I had to get
Speaker 19: my head around all of these acronyms as well. I
Speaker 19: was like, what's a nimby not in my backyard? All
Speaker 19: this kind of stuff. Yeah, so we absolutely need to
Speaker 19: think of ways to mobilize ourselves and to meet the
Speaker 19: demands of the population, but to also allow ourselves to
Speaker 19: live in a city that is fully functional, that is
Speaker 19: not a disaster. And not only that, not also the
Speaker 19: most expensive city in the world too. So there are
Speaker 19: so many issues beyond the metro that also need addressing.
Speaker 2: Now, Greta Thun has been in the news over the
Speaker 2: past couple of days and with her visit to the
Speaker 2: Middle East, and I was intrigued. So I checked that
Speaker 2: excellent resource known as Wikipedia for a bit of background
Speaker 2: on Greta and I was shocked. I didn't realize this.
Speaker 2: I thought she was a kid. She's twenty two, she's
Speaker 2: twenty one books, actually she is an adult.
Speaker 19: Now, she's twenty two now. But you know what, and
Speaker 19: I think this is the one thing that when you
Speaker 19: hear this young girl's name, it triggers such a visceral reaction.
Speaker 1: Clinton.
Speaker 19: I mean, just speaking to people in the office earlier today,
Speaker 19: they're like, oh god, Greta, you know and to be honest,
Speaker 19: a lot of us have actually, at her expense, really
Speaker 19: had a good giggle and chuckle at her extremism, at
Speaker 19: her alarmism around the climate and all of these situations
Speaker 19: that she finds herself in, particularly the latest one with
Speaker 19: her deciding to board this boat, the Meedleine, and try
Speaker 19: and save what's going on in the Middle East and
Speaker 19: deliver this aid to the Gaza strip there. As admirable
Speaker 19: as all of that is, once you actually start digging
Speaker 19: into the history of Greta and you recognize and this
Speaker 19: isn't widely known, I know that most people kind of
Speaker 19: have this surface level view that you know, they understand
Speaker 19: that she's an autistic child, but she was also somebody
Speaker 19: that was diagnosed formally with obsessive compulsive disorder. So when
Speaker 19: she was eleven years old going through school, she was
Speaker 19: this bright and happy young girl. She loved to play piano,
Speaker 19: she was very chatty, she loved to learn, like everybody
Speaker 19: else at school at those times. But she was shown
Speaker 19: a video on climate change at school and it created
Speaker 19: a really catastrophic chain of events after that for her
Speaker 19: because it affected her in such a way that whilst
Speaker 19: the other students were able to compartmentalize it. She wasn't,
Speaker 19: so she started losing sleepover it. She was crying, Her
Speaker 19: mother was constant, father were constantly getting phone calls from
Speaker 19: the school saying that something wasn't right with her. She
Speaker 19: started starving herself. Her parents said that it took her
Speaker 19: at least two to three sometimes four hours just to
Speaker 19: be able to digest a few pieces of nyoki, and
Speaker 19: she ended up in a state where because of her
Speaker 19: starfation levels, that she actually had terrible blood pressure, and
Speaker 19: it indicated that her blood pulse levels also was showing
Speaker 19: that she was in starvation mode. So this was a
Speaker 19: young girl who was deeply affected by all of this.
Speaker 19: And when you actually look at the photos of her
Speaker 19: sitting there and being given these sandwiches by the Israeli
Speaker 19: defense forces, she looks like this young, slight, petite girl
Speaker 19: with her little bob and her fringe, that's wearing a
Speaker 19: hat that looks like it's a frog with some eyes
Speaker 19: and a smiley face on it, and you are reminded
Speaker 19: of the fact that this is just a young girl
Speaker 19: that really was given a bum steer. Let's be honest
Speaker 19: in all of this, right, and I know that we're
Speaker 19: so reticent as a society to be judgmental when it
Speaker 19: comes to parenting, But God, forgive me. I do look
Speaker 19: at her parents and I think, why did you allow
Speaker 19: this to happen?
Speaker 1: Why did you.
Speaker 19: Encourage a child that is both autistic and has obsessive
Speaker 19: compulsive disorder to fixate on this belief that the world
Speaker 19: was going to explode and to affirm that for her.
Speaker 19: I find that really irrational, and I find that irresponsible.
Speaker 19: And to then thrust her out into the world and
Speaker 19: allow her, at fifteen years of age, Clinton to address
Speaker 19: the UN and to perpetuate this theory that the world
Speaker 19: was going to blow up. I just find that really
Speaker 19: quite shocking. So it made me look at her differently
Speaker 19: when I delved into the history of who she is
Speaker 19: and how she was raised and what she was exposed to,
Speaker 19: and knowing also that she's autistic and suffers from OCD,
Speaker 19: I just I saw this young girl who needed some
Speaker 19: intervention and to be told, you know what, it's going
Speaker 19: to be okay.
Speaker 2: I didn't think I'd ever see the day where Lucy
Speaker 2: Zilich was Maybe this is a bit strong, but a.
Speaker 19: Fan, no, that's definitely too strong. I'm not a fan,
Speaker 19: but all I'm doing is asking people to kind of
Speaker 19: reframe the way that they look at this young girl
Speaker 19: who actually just needs a bit of love and a
Speaker 19: bit of help. I'm not angry at her as much
Speaker 19: as I am at the people and the propagandist in
Speaker 19: the media and politicians who have propped her up.
Speaker 2: Really, if you want to, if you want to give
Speaker 2: Greta a bit of love, one three, one eight seven three,
Speaker 2: he's at number It's Straight Shoes with Lucy Zilich for
Speaker 2: a Wednesday afternoon. I just put across out to Steve
Speaker 2: in Edmondson. Steve has come across. Well, this is quite
Speaker 2: intriguing on the Hume Highway. What have you seen, Steve.
Speaker 7: It's just before Picked and someone's either lost their dinner or.
Speaker 3: Because there's a couple.
Speaker 12: Of hessets in the shoulder lane getting corralled by paddy wagon.
Speaker 2: Love it you just dropped out there, Steve, So just
Speaker 2: to repeat, you said somebody maybe lost their dinner, but
Speaker 2: there are two live cows on the road.
Speaker 12: Yeah, two live cows on the shoulder lane getting corralled
Speaker 12: by a paddy wagon.
Speaker 7: So anyone that's coming up to Picked and road if
Speaker 7: you're slowing down suddenly, just make sure you really really
Speaker 7: slow down.
Speaker 9: You might not know it.
Speaker 2: They're okay, okay, So which direction of the hum high
Speaker 2: Way is it? Heading northbound?
Speaker 7: Heading towards Sydney.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's right, okay, watch out, yep, watch out, heading
Speaker 2: towards Sydney northbound Hume Highway. Just before that picked an exit.
Speaker 2: There are two cows on the shoulder. Thankfully the authorities
Speaker 2: are there, so they're not going to end up someone's dinner.
Speaker 2: The cows are going to be okay. Lucy's eelich with
Speaker 2: me with straight shooters, it's fourteen to five. If you're
Speaker 2: a customer with Westpac, let me know if you have
Speaker 2: any problems with their internet services or their app. Just
Speaker 2: had a message from one of our listeners saying there
Speaker 2: are some IT issues with Westpac. At the moment. We've
Speaker 2: checked on our end and we can't see that as
Speaker 2: a problem at the moment. Westpac hasn't tweeted a problem.
Speaker 2: We're trying to get in contact with the bank now,
Speaker 2: but just hearing that there might be some IT issues
Speaker 2: with Westpac. So if you are a Westpac customer and
Speaker 2: there are some drummas, just just let us know, so
Speaker 2: we can just clarify what's going on. Lucy's Zelich is
Speaker 2: my straight shoot. Beautiful sunset here at the Western Sydney's
Speaker 2: National Airport. It is the strawberry moon tonight. If you
Speaker 2: have a lookout to the east, I'm looking at the
Speaker 2: moon at the moment, very large and round. It's quite beautiful, Lucy.
Speaker 19: I do love a sighting of a full moon. It
Speaker 19: is supposed to unleash the crazies. Though Clinton allegedly.
Speaker 2: Well, Christy on the text line says, regarding Greta Thunberg,
Speaker 2: now I feel bad. I've been anti Greta for a while.
Speaker 2: Now now you've made it feel bad because we're having
Speaker 2: a Greta love you.
Speaker 19: Now it stops saying it's a love in for goodness sake.
Speaker 2: You love Greta. No, I don't you love it. You
Speaker 2: don't like a parents you love Greta. No.
Speaker 19: I'm the way I want people to start looking at
Speaker 19: it now, and the way we should start framing it is.
Speaker 19: I'm less disturbed and frustrated and annoyed by Greta as
Speaker 19: what I am by her parents decision to allow a
Speaker 19: child to genuinely believe that the world was going to
Speaker 19: blow up and come to an end, and to then
Speaker 19: push that out into the world. That's irresponsible parenting. Let's
Speaker 19: call that what it is.
Speaker 2: You'll come well, come to some calls and feedback on
Speaker 2: this one in the moment. But I just I have
Speaker 2: a query with you, Lucy. What is a traad wife.
Speaker 2: I've not heard of the term tradwife.
Speaker 19: Apparently I'm a tradwife because I've decided to push paws
Speaker 19: on my cur well, apparently that's me because I've decided
Speaker 19: to push paws on my career. Albeit I do come
Speaker 19: in here one day a week and have a big
Speaker 19: winning ah.
Speaker 2: All the rest of it is that traditional, traditional.
Speaker 19: Traditional wife. So you've chosen to take what people understand
Speaker 19: in society to be a traditional and assume a traditional
Speaker 19: gender role by being the mother at home and looking
Speaker 19: after your children while your spouse, your husband goes out
Speaker 19: to work. Now that is the situation that I'm in
Speaker 19: at the moment. My husband, who works incredibly hard for
Speaker 19: my family, sometimes seven days a week, goes out and
Speaker 19: works whilst I look after our children at home. I
Speaker 19: do the cooking, I do the cleaning, and I'm very
Speaker 19: happy to do all of that because I don't recognize
Speaker 19: it or frame it in a way that is designed
Speaker 19: as much of society would like to do now, that
Speaker 19: is designed or intended to be subservient to my husband.
Speaker 19: It's designed to actually pull my end of the bargain
Speaker 19: and to do my job at home raising children, which
Speaker 19: happens to be very important work, Clinton Maynard.
Speaker 2: And this issue has been raised because it's been debated
Speaker 2: at a school in South Australia.
Speaker 19: It has been and I think it's triggered a lot
Speaker 19: of ayre and a lot of frustration. Apparently they've received
Speaker 19: a host of complaints about this because what it's allegedly
Speaker 19: doing in having this debate about tradwives is that it's
Speaker 19: apparently taking us back and that it's regressive because we
Speaker 19: believe that, you know, it's okay for women to be
Speaker 19: at home to look after their children if that's the
Speaker 19: choice that they would like to make. And let me
Speaker 19: be clear, this isn't just a gender issue, right. There
Speaker 19: are a lot of men now who are also choosing
Speaker 19: to stay at home because their wives are in certain
Speaker 19: economic positions within their careers that advances the family cause
Speaker 19: in much greater terms, and so a lot of the
Speaker 19: dads are staying at home. But we've become very fixated
Speaker 19: on this tradwife movement right where it concerns women who
Speaker 19: have elected to stay at home and bake pies and
Speaker 19: cookies and spend time with their children. I think the
Speaker 19: way that we frame parenting now is a problem. I
Speaker 19: think the way that we frame mothers choosing to stay
Speaker 19: at home now is a problem because what you're saying
Speaker 19: is is that you're likening it too. And I've seen
Speaker 19: it in the Victorian government's budget announcement where they talk
Speaker 19: about parenting and women in particular being at a disadvantage
Speaker 19: economically because they choose to stay at home with their
Speaker 19: kids and they're not getting super and all the rest
Speaker 19: of it. Let me tell you something, Clinton, in twenty
Speaker 19: years time, I'm not going to look back at my
Speaker 19: circumstances now, which by the way, have put us in
Speaker 19: a situation where we've had to be more conservative financially.
Speaker 19: But I'm never going to say, Gee, what a disadvantage
Speaker 19: and an imposition that was on me staying at home
Speaker 19: with my kids in their formative years.
Speaker 2: And Lucy, it's actually the same for blocks. We had
Speaker 2: three kids under the age of two, and one of
Speaker 2: my regrets in those because we had twins and our
Speaker 2: oldest daughter, Lauren wasn't too at that point. And one
Speaker 2: of my regrets as a father, and this is just
Speaker 2: the economic realities of the world, I didn't spend enough
Speaker 2: time at home in those early years. I think I
Speaker 2: rectified it in recent times, but I certainly regret that.
Speaker 2: And the kids don't stay little for long. So even
Speaker 2: putting aside the economic realities that you don't you need
Speaker 2: to appreciate those years and that's something that I have
Speaker 2: some regret with. We're going to come to your feedback
Speaker 2: next if you'd like to have your say, we'll come
Speaker 2: to some calls next one three, one, eight seven three
Speaker 2: Lucy Zilich our straight Shooter on a Wednesday five to five.
Speaker 2: One of our listeners told us a few moments ago
Speaker 2: about two cows on the road on the Hume Highway
Speaker 2: city bound Wilton Pickton Road turn off. Well, we've now
Speaker 2: confirmed it's a lot more than two cows. There've been
Speaker 2: fifteen cows on the road. This is on the Hume Highway,
Speaker 2: so think about how busy the Hume can get around
Speaker 2: around Wilton. This is the pickt and road turn off.
Speaker 2: Now we've been assured now that the cattle have been
Speaker 2: taken away from the road. The police themselves aren't on
Speaker 2: the scene, but the cattle have been taken away from
Speaker 2: the road. But honestly, you're driving through Wilton Hume Highway
Speaker 2: at the moment. Police take some care. Well, you can
Speaker 2: hear them that they're there. Okaye, when there's there's been
Speaker 2: no disclaire, no incidence yet. But we don't want to
Speaker 2: see any of the cattle injured. We don't want to
Speaker 2: see anyone injured on the road. Okay, Let's get to
Speaker 2: some calls before we wrap up. Lucy won three one
Speaker 2: eight seven three on Gretithum the Color Andrew.
Speaker 8: Yeah, go a.
Speaker 3: Greta Well. I I rarely disagree with what Lucy says,
Speaker 3: because he generally nails it. I'm a totally man made
Speaker 3: climate change denier.
Speaker 19: Amen, Andrew, Amen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't. The climate has always changed, or we'd
Speaker 3: be in the last Ice age. But anyway, Yeah, Lucy,
Speaker 3: what she said about good or I've felt for some
Speaker 3: time I felt a bit sorry for her when she
Speaker 3: was promoted some years back and did the how dare
Speaker 3: you and all that stuff and and I thought, well,
Speaker 3: you know, she's a misguided youth, but she legs in it,
Speaker 3: and I wasn't going to doubt her for that. But
Speaker 3: I think everyone has just used her so much since
Speaker 3: I'm not I don't know about her parents and they
Speaker 3: going to blame anyone, but so many people have used
Speaker 3: her news through news to her and put her in
Speaker 3: situations that to me, I find very unfair.
Speaker 19: Really well said Andrew, And that's sort of the take
Speaker 19: that I had once I started to do some more
Speaker 19: digging into who she was and her history and how
Speaker 19: she came about. Her mother is an interesting character as well.
Speaker 19: She's quite a well known opera singer as well.
Speaker 2: In I thought she's a model, model, opera singer, superstar.
Speaker 19: Maybe all of those things. See the allure of fame
Speaker 19: maybe was all too blinding for her and she wanted
Speaker 19: it for a daughter.
Speaker 2: To Good on you, Andrew Ros. What's her say on
Speaker 2: trad was? Are you a trad wife?
Speaker 1: Roz?
Speaker 20: I was at one stage Clinton when my kids were young,
Speaker 20: just like Lucy.
Speaker 19: Good on your ros.
Speaker 20: Yeah, And I think that they're very necessary to all
Speaker 20: the volunteering work that we may done. And I'm sure
Speaker 20: there's a lot of that missing now that you know
Speaker 20: women are having to work, most of them to support
Speaker 20: their families, and I think it's very sad, and.
Speaker 19: I do too, ros And the way I see it is,
Speaker 19: you know, one of the greatest lies ever sold and
Speaker 19: told was that you know that women, we could have
Speaker 19: it all. We could have the amazing career, and we
Speaker 19: could be these amazing mothers. I tried it for a
Speaker 19: little bit before the pandemic hit and I had to
Speaker 19: go back to work. My husband was out of a
Speaker 19: contract and retiring professional football from professional football, and I
Speaker 19: felt like I was doing a bad job at home
Speaker 19: and at work because I wanted to be this incredible mother,
Speaker 19: but I felt like I wasn't present enough. But I
Speaker 19: also equally wanted to be the most committed employee that
Speaker 19: I was before my children arrived. And hats off to
Speaker 19: those women that don't feel that guilt, that are able
Speaker 19: to feel as though they can do both quite comfortably.
Speaker 19: But from my perspective, you know, I really wanted to
Speaker 19: be at home for my children, and when the choice
Speaker 19: came down to it, they were the most important thing
Speaker 19: for me.
Speaker 2: Good on your rose. Think if your message, Adam has
Speaker 2: just actually sent me a message and says there's actually
Speaker 2: been in regards to the situation with the cows. Seriously,
Speaker 2: a truck has actually been on its side. So we'll
Speaker 2: just seek some clerk further clarification from the police off air.
Speaker 2: But this is a situation that's still unfolding Hume Highway.
Speaker 2: It's in Wilton. There's been as many as fifteen cows
Speaker 2: in the road, and it would appear that the truck
Speaker 2: carrying those cows has been involved in some sort of
Speaker 2: accident that it's ended up on its side and the
Speaker 2: cows have actually got out of the truck. Our understanding
Speaker 2: is that the cows have now been off the road,
Speaker 2: moved off the road. So the situation at the moment
Speaker 2: is it's okay. If you're driving through Wilton Hume Highway northbound,
Speaker 2: just near the Picton Road exit, all should be okay.
Speaker 2: We've run out of time.
Speaker 19: Thank you, Lucy, Thank you so much, Clinton and our
Speaker 19: lovely listeners. Looking forward to doing it all again next week.
Speaker 2: Lucy is Zelig our straight shooter. She is back with
Speaker 2: you every Wednesday afternoon. Coming up in the next hour,
Speaker 2: Mark Guy, He's gonna have his say on streaming services.
Speaker 1: This is sitting now with Clean on TGB.
Speaker 2: I'm broadcasting live from Sydney's Western Sydney International Airport. The
Speaker 2: official unveiling today some breaking news from La. Now it's
Speaker 2: now very late at night in LA, just after midnight,
Speaker 2: and curfew is now in place across the city. A
Speaker 2: fourth Australian media worker has now been injured involved in
Speaker 2: covering this event. Some confirmation now has just come through
Speaker 2: that a Channel nine cameraman has been struck in the
Speaker 2: league by a ricocheting rubber bullet, So not directly as
Speaker 2: our reporter Lauren to Marsi was, but he has been
Speaker 2: struck in a ricochet rubber bullet. Nine says they're assessing
Speaker 2: the situation. They're taking into account the growing number of
Speaker 2: similar incidents involving journalists in LA before making a decision
Speaker 2: on what they do going forward. We brought you some
Speaker 2: news just before our news Borden about cows on the
Speaker 2: road Hume Highway northbound through Wilton. So it's just before
Speaker 2: the Pickton Road turn off. Now many as fifteen cows
Speaker 2: have actually been on the road because there's been an
Speaker 2: accent involving a truck that ended up on its side.
Speaker 2: Now we understand nobody has been seriously injured in this,
Speaker 2: the cows, and I don't want to make light of it,
Speaker 2: because it could have been really serious situation if a
Speaker 2: car had to hit one of these cows. The cows
Speaker 2: that we moved to the side of the road. The
Speaker 2: cows are all okay, but has been as many as
Speaker 2: fifteen of them. The Transport Management people are on the
Speaker 2: scene there at the moment. So this is northbound Hume Highway.
Speaker 2: When you're driving through Wilton, can be very busy road,
Speaker 2: particularly at this time of the day, people heading back
Speaker 2: to Sydney as well. Just the Pickton Road turn off,
Speaker 2: so you'll notice a bit of a kerfuffle there. The cows,
Speaker 2: they're on the side of the road. Now hopefully the
Speaker 2: farmer can find them and take them to their home.
Speaker 2: They're going to be okay, and thankfully the traffic is
Speaker 2: all right. We had some reports a little earlier potentially
Speaker 2: some it issues with Westpac that may have been affecting
Speaker 2: their back end or their website and their app. We've
Speaker 2: just spoken with Westpac off air. Good news is things
Speaker 2: are okay with Westpac at the moment nine past five.
Speaker 2: I'm broadcasting. As I mentioned, live from Sydney's new Western
Speaker 2: Sydney International Airport and the sun is now going down
Speaker 2: across Sydney's West. I'm looking now over towards the new
Speaker 2: terminal which was unvalived by the Prime Minister Anthony Albernezi
Speaker 2: today and it is quite a remarkable facility and that's
Speaker 2: been the benefit of being able to develop this and
Speaker 2: design it from the ground up. But when you think
Speaker 2: about this, we were talking about this in the eighties.
Speaker 2: In fact, this land was first identified as a location
Speaker 2: for a second airport in the nineteen forties, and then
Speaker 2: in the nineteen eighties the decision was made there would
Speaker 2: be an airport here. The first sod was actually turned
Speaker 2: in the early nineteen nineties. Bob Hawk was still the
Speaker 2: Prime Minister in the dying days of his leadership, but
Speaker 2: of course nothing happened and there was political toing and
Speaker 2: throwing for decades before a coalition government actually fifteen years
Speaker 2: ago finally made the decision. Toney Abott would have been
Speaker 2: the Prime Minister, finally made the decision to go ahead
Speaker 2: with his facility. Now lanes are not yet operating here
Speaker 2: and they will be next year, probably within four years.
Speaker 2: There will be around two hundred planes a day that
Speaker 2: will fly in and out of here, around twenty three
Speaker 2: thousand passengers a day. I think initially you will find
Speaker 2: that cargo will be a really big part of this
Speaker 2: operation because unlike Mascot, this will operate twenty four hours
Speaker 2: a day, seven days a week. The Prime Minister today
Speaker 2: has said that that every action has been taken to
Speaker 2: protect as many people from airport noise, and far fewer
Speaker 2: people will be impacted by aircraft noise than they would
Speaker 2: be from Mascot Airport. And over time you will see
Speaker 2: more services, more and more services leave here. Initially there
Speaker 2: are four airlines who've committed to operating from here, Quotas, Jetstar,
Speaker 2: Air New Zealand and Singapore Hours.
Speaker 1: If it's happening in Sydney, you'll hear it on Sydney.
Speaker 2: Now with Clinton on to GB I'm with Greg Faran,
Speaker 2: who's the CEO of Air New Zealand. You've made a
Speaker 2: massive announcement today you will be flying in and out
Speaker 2: of Western City Airport.
Speaker 21: We will and we're excited about it.
Speaker 2: What a great airport twenty twenty seven, so it's not
Speaker 2: far away. How significant will the operation be here?
Speaker 21: Well, we see it as an and you know, we've
Speaker 21: got our busiest port at the moment in Kingsford Smith
Speaker 21: and we're flying in there five times a day. We
Speaker 21: want to grow the business across the Tasman. As I said,
Speaker 21: it's the busiest place. Seven hundred thousand Kiwis live in Australia,
Speaker 21: so being able to grow the business and fly here
Speaker 21: into Western Sydney is going to be great. I know
Speaker 21: the area well. You know, I spent fifteen years living
Speaker 21: here in Sydney, so I know how many people will
Speaker 21: find it really accessible to be able to get in
Speaker 21: here and get into Western Sydney and probably for some
Speaker 21: of them even go north.
Speaker 2: We Sydney started a joke about Bondi being the second
Speaker 2: home for Kigwe's in Sydney, but to be honest, it's
Speaker 2: actually Western Sydney. Where's massive population in Western Sydney from
Speaker 2: New Zealand.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 21: Look, I would say to you that from my time here,
Speaker 21: this Kiwi's all over all over Sydney. We have a
Speaker 21: close relation ship and you know, I think this is
Speaker 21: just an excellent gateway.
Speaker 2: You're the fourth airline to jump on board. Why was
Speaker 2: it important for you to be quick?
Speaker 21: Well, As I said, we see this as a and
Speaker 21: you know Sydney is operating Kingsford Smith pretty much at capacity.
Speaker 21: We want to grow the business. There are more and
Speaker 21: more people wanting to fly here and so this gives
Speaker 21: us an opportunity to do exactly that, which is to grow.
Speaker 2: What do you make of the terminal that we're standing
Speaker 2: in at the moment? I really like it.
Speaker 21: And the reason I like it is that it has
Speaker 21: all the features that you would expect in an airport terminal.
Speaker 21: It's here to move passengers. So they've thought about it
Speaker 21: from a customer first angle, and that's the benefit of
Speaker 21: being green fields.
Speaker 2: You can do that.
Speaker 21: So I'm not walking into a shopping center. I'm not
Speaker 21: walking into something which isn't an airport. This is about
Speaker 21: getting customers from point A to point B efficiently effectively,
Speaker 21: and it shows up in everything that I've seen.
Speaker 2: And Greg just finally, how is the airline traveling at
Speaker 2: the moment?
Speaker 21: Yeah, Look, we're really starting to come out of our shell.
Speaker 5: Basically.
Speaker 21: You know, we've had all the challenges that everyone's seen
Speaker 21: sort of COVID and then post COVID restarting, we've had
Speaker 21: to deal with getting some aircraft and we've had our
Speaker 21: share of engine issues, not of our doing, but it's
Speaker 21: just what it is. What we're seeing now is some
Speaker 21: real momentum. We're announcing some new routes. We're announcing even
Speaker 21: more in the next couple of weeks, and I'm excited
Speaker 21: about what.
Speaker 2: The future holds your airline. And they've had your challenges
Speaker 2: like most airlines have, but from a service perspective, you've
Speaker 2: still had a very good reputation around the world.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we focus on that.
Speaker 21: We see that as being key our people, our culture.
Speaker 21: We spend a lot of time around recruitment and training
Speaker 21: and doing what's right for our customers and our team
Speaker 21: and that's something that we hold center in front of
Speaker 21: mind every day.
Speaker 2: Well, congratulations on becoming the fourth airline on to Cornus
Speaker 2: Jet start in Singapore.
Speaker 21: Thank you very much.
Speaker 2: Fourteen past five, the New South Wales Bureau of Crime,
Speaker 2: Statistics and Research has released figures today that show an
Speaker 2: upward trend in three major categories of crime over the
Speaker 2: past two years. Domestic violence related that assaults have increased
Speaker 2: by three point six percent, sexual assault reports have increased
Speaker 2: by six point four percent, and particularly in Sydney, up
Speaker 2: by almost ten percent. Now these are reports. This jumped
Speaker 2: out at me today when I looked at these figures
Speaker 2: as well, shoplifting retail theft incidents have climbed by four
Speaker 2: point three percent. I wonder why is it because of
Speaker 2: the tough economic times. Jackie Fitzgerald is from the Crime
Speaker 2: Stats and Research Bureau and joins us. Thank you for
Speaker 2: your time, Jackie.
Speaker 17: Hi, there Clinton.
Speaker 2: The issues concerning domestic violence and sexual assault obviously very important,
Speaker 2: but I could just ask you firstly about about retail theft.
Speaker 2: What have you found here?
Speaker 22: Look, I think you do automatically think, don't you, Clinton,
Speaker 22: that it is a cost of living pressures that are
Speaker 22: driving people to shoplift and steal those life necessities. But
Speaker 22: actually when you do look further into that increase in
Speaker 22: that offense, what we can see something quite different. So
Speaker 22: really the increase is being driven by increase in the
Speaker 22: theft of alcohol, and particularly your kind of top shelf
Speaker 22: liquor is really the most desirable. So your bourbon and
Speaker 22: your vodka and the like, and those are the things
Speaker 22: that are about a quarter of shoplifting that comes to
Speaker 22: police attention is in that category. And we can see
Speaker 22: that the increases are really driving and really driving up
Speaker 22: in terms of shoplifting at bottle shops.
Speaker 2: That's I mean, that's interesting, that's the case, because you
Speaker 2: wouldn't think, yes, we're all going through tough times that
Speaker 2: you wouldn't think it's the whiskey in the bourbon that
Speaker 2: we jump at first when we're doing it tough.
Speaker 22: Not really, I mean, I mean those other very expensive goods,
Speaker 22: and of course you know, a desirable absolutely, but you
Speaker 22: wouldn't really put it in the licensees category. I mean,
Speaker 22: I can understand that people might be finding it hard
Speaker 22: to afford those items, but it's not in the groceries
Speaker 22: or the baby formula that category. We're really looking at
Speaker 22: a desirable rather than a necessity.
Speaker 2: Jackie might not have looked at the research at this depth.
Speaker 2: But is there an indication perhaps there could be a
Speaker 2: black market that's growing for that style of liquor, that
Speaker 2: that organized crime could be behind it.
Speaker 22: Look I suspect Clinton that the volumes that you can
Speaker 22: steal in the shoplifting incident probably don't really lend themselves
Speaker 22: to that. We can see that there's been in terms
Speaker 22: of the offenders, we have seen an increase in charges
Speaker 22: against adult males, which is consistent with the liquor theft
Speaker 22: of liquor, but also an increase in theft by shoplifting
Speaker 22: by the teenage girls, so girls under eighteen also stealing,
Speaker 22: also also stealing liquor, and interestingly, we haven't seen corresponding
Speaker 22: increase in teen boys charged with shoplifting. So it's really
Speaker 22: quite an interesting scenario where we've got increases amongst adult
Speaker 22: males and young girls in terms of their participation in shoplifting.
Speaker 22: So it's you know, it's it's unexpected, I have to say.
Speaker 2: But this is the other point that jumps out at
Speaker 2: me about this where it is a little confusing, and
Speaker 2: I'm not going to stereotype people here, but from a
Speaker 2: socioeconomic perspective, where the spike appears to be occurring is
Speaker 2: in what you would term to be middle class areas,
Speaker 2: places like or Sydney, the sutherland Shire Hornsby.
Speaker 22: That's right, and those areas do have low rates of crime.
Speaker 22: So you know, when we look at the map of
Speaker 22: the state or even Sydney, those aren't the high crime areas.
Speaker 22: So Sutherlands in the West, North, Sydney, Hornsby, they're all
Speaker 22: relatively low in crime. But we have seen this uptick
Speaker 22: in retail theft, particularly in those communities, and it's you know,
Speaker 22: it's unusual, it's something that we haven't seen previously, and
Speaker 22: I would definitely have to keep an eye on it.
Speaker 22: But it's you know, I think there's probably more to
Speaker 22: it than meets the eye.
Speaker 2: I have to say, I've been trigging to find out
Speaker 2: what really that is in the long run, Jackie, Well,
Speaker 2: I've got you there that the other two categories are
Speaker 2: very serious offenses, domestic violence and sexual assault. There's been
Speaker 2: a lot of attention paid quite rightly in the last
Speaker 2: couple of years on domestic violence. The increase in those categories,
Speaker 2: would that be because more people feel comfortable coming forward.
Speaker 22: Look, I think we can say for sure in the
Speaker 22: field of sexual assault that more people are coming forward,
Speaker 22: and we suspect that's also the case with domestic violence.
Speaker 22: So with sexual assault in particular, as you say, we've
Speaker 22: had a really heated public conversation about consent and particularly
Speaker 22: high profile sexual violence issues coming to the public discussion
Speaker 22: over the last ten years or so. And in response
Speaker 22: to that, we've had specific initiatives by new sal police
Speaker 22: that have made it easier to report sexual assaults. So
Speaker 22: we know that victims of sexual self often get a
Speaker 22: tough time in the criminal justice system, and police have
Speaker 22: made it available to report sexual violence through an online
Speaker 22: portal from twenty twenty three and that's proved very very
Speaker 22: popular with the victims. So now about one in four
Speaker 22: sexual assault reports come through that avenue and about half
Speaker 22: of the increase over the past ten years is due
Speaker 22: to online reports. We've also got more mandatory reports coming
Speaker 22: into the police attention to sexual violence, and we know
Speaker 22: also we've had spikes in reports when there has been
Speaker 22: a topical issue on the sexual violence space, so it
Speaker 22: is very sensitive to that public discussion and more people
Speaker 22: coming forward in response to that.
Speaker 2: Thank you for the information. Thank you, Jackie.
Speaker 22: Thanks so Matt's Clenton Jackie.
Speaker 2: Fitzgerald, who's the executive director of the New South Wales
Speaker 2: Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research. Mean that really jumped
Speaker 2: out of me that there's been this big spike in shoplifting,
Speaker 2: but particularly with alcohol. Alcohol makes up twenty five percent
Speaker 2: of all cases of shoplifting and as Jackie pointed out,
Speaker 2: there they are finding this big spike with teenage girls
Speaker 2: in particular, more teenage girls are getting caught stealing grog
Speaker 2: than boys, and it's in areas like the Inner West,
Speaker 2: sutherland Shire, the North Shore. Now Blair's just sent me
Speaker 2: a message if you'd like to have your say zero
Speaker 2: four six, zero eight seven three out seven three. I
Speaker 2: travel a lot for business. I've seen a great deal
Speaker 2: of bottle shops around the country with full time security
Speaker 2: now standing out in front. Well, this proves the statistics, Blair,
Speaker 2: This proves it's actually necessary an.
Speaker 6: Eas update, upgrade and saved with Winston with a wine
Speaker 6: twenty five percent of motorized blinds, curtains and dawnings.
Speaker 1: Book now at Winston.
Speaker 2: Dot com aues.
Speaker 10: And with all the latest caty four Good afternoon, Clinton.
Speaker 10: A nine news cameraman has been hit in the leg
Speaker 10: with a ricocheting rubber bullet while covering protests in Los Angeles.
Speaker 10: He's among dozens of media workers who have been injured,
Speaker 10: including four Australians. A sixteen year old boy is facing
Speaker 10: charges relating to the fire bombing of a Sydney barbershop.
Speaker 10: The blaze at Marylins didn't cause much damage, but security
Speaker 10: vision showed a hooded figure accidentally catching a light. The
Speaker 10: Israeli government will meet next week to decide its response
Speaker 10: to sanctions on two far right ministers. Australia has joined
Speaker 10: four other countries to sanction Itamar, Bengibee and Bezalel Smotrich
Speaker 10: and multiple cows have been spotted on the side of
Speaker 10: the Hume Highway south of Sydney. It's understood the cattle
Speaker 10: escaped from a truck which was caught in a crash
Speaker 10: in Sport. A trio of Wallaby including Joseph Swale, has
Speaker 10: posed for photos with lions at Taronga Zoo. It's all
Speaker 10: part of the build up to be upcoming tour by
Speaker 10: the British and Irish Lions Clinton More News at six.
Speaker 2: Thank you Katie. From today, small businesses that have been
Speaker 2: affected by the floods in the Mid North Coast and
Speaker 2: also in the Hunter Valley can formally apply for the
Speaker 2: twenty five thousand dollars that is being made available through
Speaker 2: a combination of the state government and the federal government.
Speaker 2: Applications are being received and can be lodged from residents
Speaker 2: and businesses in twenty eight local government areas. And this
Speaker 2: also concerns people who've been affected by tropical Cyclone Alfred.
Speaker 2: We spoke to Guss and Beck who have an oyster
Speaker 2: farm just on the outskirts of Tarre last week on
Speaker 2: the program, and they're trying to get their life back together.
Speaker 2: And after we witness the damage of what they've been through,
Speaker 2: it's hard to see how twenty five thousand dollars is
Speaker 2: going to go far. They will be grateful for that
Speaker 2: five thousand dollars is available immediately, and they'll need to
Speaker 2: and this will apply to all those small businesses. They'll
Speaker 2: need to provide receipts for the expenditure for the rest
Speaker 2: running twenty thousand dollars. And that's necessary by the governments
Speaker 2: because they found drink covid. So many people were ripping
Speaker 2: the governments off when it came to grants. But the
Speaker 2: difficulty for many of these businesses is they don't then
Speaker 2: have the twenty thousand dollars or can't access the credit
Speaker 2: quickly to then buy what they actually need.
Speaker 1: Finance Update.
Speaker 2: Deb Night hosting Money US from seven o'clock tonight. Hello, Deb,
Speaker 2: Hello to you Clinton.
Speaker 17: It's very timely that you are at the airport today
Speaker 17: because we're talking a lot about the aviation sector on
Speaker 17: Money News tonight.
Speaker 2: Yes, certainly so. Quattas Jetstar Singapore Airlines and Air New
Speaker 2: Zealand will be the first four carriers to operate out
Speaker 2: of here. And Jetstar Asia though is being wound up.
Speaker 17: Yeah, and look, it's a long time coming because it's
Speaker 17: a Singapore based arm of Quantus. It was the brainchild
Speaker 17: of the former CEO, Alan Joyce. It only turned a
Speaker 17: profit in the last six of the twenty years that
Speaker 17: it was operating, so it was a financial drag on
Speaker 17: the rest of the operation and as of the end
Speaker 17: of July it will no longer be operating any flights.
Speaker 17: It will be shut down. Five hundred jobs unfortunately will
Speaker 17: be lost, but the planes and the resources will be
Speaker 17: redeployed across the rest of Quantus's operations here in Australia,
Speaker 17: so long term it's a wise move for the airline
Speaker 17: to be taking. There's also news to do with Rex
Speaker 17: today possibly making a comeback, and also with more coming
Speaker 17: through with Virgin and the IPO, so lots to cover
Speaker 17: in the aviation sector. On nonni news tonight, it.
Speaker 2: Would be great if for X to make a comeback.
Speaker 2: But look, you and I have been following these issues
Speaker 2: for decades now. It just seems to me that a
Speaker 2: strong third carrier seems to be impossible in this market.
Speaker 2: I remember the day's a compass.
Speaker 17: Yeah, well exactly, Anset too. You know, we've had so
Speaker 17: many failures in aviation, and you're right, we don't have
Speaker 17: a big population base, but we need to ensure that
Speaker 17: those regional towns and centers are serviced by an airline,
Speaker 17: and the governments been propping Rex up. Whether or not
Speaker 17: a buyer can be found, though, is what really needs
Speaker 17: to be answered.
Speaker 2: There have been some small gains on the stock market today.
Speaker 17: Yeah, still a record A win's a win, will take it.
Speaker 17: The O s X two hundred came roaring out of
Speaker 17: the block. Some of those gains were paired back slightly.
Speaker 17: It ended up closing zero point one percent or five
Speaker 17: points higher, and again another record high. And the Aussie
Speaker 17: dollar it's fallen back a little bit, It's still held
Speaker 17: onto most of its recent gains. It's currently buying just
Speaker 17: over sixty five years cents.
Speaker 2: Now. Tesla is being sued in France.
Speaker 17: Yeah, how about this oo La La? So the Tesla owners.
Speaker 17: You might have seen the stickers on the back of
Speaker 17: Tesla's where people have been unhappy with the actions of
Speaker 17: the owner, billionaire Elon Musk saying the stickers I bought
Speaker 17: this Tesla before Elon went crazy. Well, the French are
Speaker 17: taking it a step further. Some of the owners of
Speaker 17: Tesla's who have long term contracts and leases want to
Speaker 17: get out of those leases and they are suing Tesla,
Speaker 17: saying that it's been linked to the brand with the
Speaker 17: far right because of Elon Musk's actions supporting far right
Speaker 17: political parties in Germany. So it will be fascinating to
Speaker 17: see if this does succeed in the courts, whether or
Speaker 17: not it sets a precedent for the damage that can
Speaker 17: be done from brands when their owners go a bit awry.
Speaker 2: I thought maybe they might all be back on board now,
Speaker 2: the lefty testy Tesla drivers because Elon's falling out with Donald.
Speaker 17: Yeah, no, not happy. Many of the Tesla owners still
Speaker 17: yes his actions and if they can't get out of
Speaker 17: their leases, they want to sue him to ensure the
Speaker 17: courts can allow them.
Speaker 11: To do it.
Speaker 2: Thank you, dev We'll be listening from seven o'clock.
Speaker 17: Thanks Clinton.
Speaker 2: Deb Night with money used tonight from.
Speaker 1: Seven on Sydney. Now.
Speaker 6: A weather update will be here to help in unexpected weather.
Speaker 6: NRIMA Insurance a Health Company.
Speaker 2: Fourteen degrees in the city at the moment, twelve degrees
Speaker 2: in the Western suburbs. It should remain dry this evening.
Speaker 2: The forecast for tomorrow partly cloudy. There is the chance
Speaker 2: of some frost in the west in the morning. Most
Speaker 2: likely be quite frosty here at the Western Sydney's National Airport.
Speaker 2: Medium chance of showers along the coastal fringe atop of
Speaker 2: seventeen degrees Friday at this stage is the chance of
Speaker 2: some Shower's quite a high chance of showers up to
Speaker 2: seventy percent. Sixteen percent the top for Friday at this
Speaker 2: stage on the weekend, seventeen degrees on Saturday, with a
Speaker 2: shower or two, but partly cloudy for most of the day.
Speaker 2: Partly cloudy, but it should be dry on Sunday with
Speaker 2: eighteen Let's talk sport with mg Hello Mark Guy, Hello Clinton.
Speaker 5: How's it out there at the new airport?
Speaker 2: My friend, It's very dark here now, but it is wonderful.
Speaker 2: This will be a twenty four hour day airport now.
Speaker 2: As a legend of the Western Suburbs, in effectively, you're
Speaker 2: the mayor of Penrith. How do you feel about how
Speaker 2: do you feel about the airport being twenty four hours
Speaker 2: a day.
Speaker 16: Oh, look, I think it's fantastic for the local economy.
Speaker 16: I know that house prices have gone through the roof
Speaker 16: if you have a house in the western suburbs of
Speaker 16: Sydney at the moment, I know the skyrocketing. It's pretty
Speaker 16: hard for young kids to get a deposit on a
Speaker 16: house these days day. But look, I think it's good.
Speaker 2: Look.
Speaker 5: That depends on where the flight paths are.
Speaker 16: I suppose if they stay away from the more densely
Speaker 16: populated areas, I think they won't have too much drama.
Speaker 16: But I just think the whole Western Sydney, the Battery's
Speaker 16: Creek Airport is so good for the western suburb of Sydney.
Speaker 5: It's going to put us right on the map.
Speaker 16: And no longer we have to travel an hour an
Speaker 16: hour and a half to get to the airport to
Speaker 16: fly overseas or fly domestically.
Speaker 5: We've got it right in our own backyard.
Speaker 2: Rugby League news Manly Seagulls for Josh Alloy could be
Speaker 2: forced into retirement.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Paul Bugger.
Speaker 16: He's had a shoulder complaint Clinton now and he's another blow.
Speaker 16: He's about round ninety heard his shold I think against
Speaker 16: the Broncos, but now looks like he might have to
Speaker 16: have a medical retirement or a premature retirement. He's only
Speaker 16: twenty nine years of age, so that's a big blow
Speaker 16: for the Seagulls. Tucky Oahu's out at the moment with
Speaker 16: no sorry Passaca is out at the moment with an
Speaker 16: achilles injury as well.
Speaker 5: So mainly have some trouble with their big boys at
Speaker 5: the minute.
Speaker 2: Now, Young Josh he was the bloke, wasn't he that
Speaker 2: used to play for the Tigers and he had a
Speaker 2: bit of an ugly extra from the Tigers. And then
Speaker 2: he didn't he put a meme out on social media
Speaker 2: mowing lawns or something.
Speaker 5: Yes he did, Yes he did. That's the same one.
Speaker 5: So he's a bit of a character, a bit of
Speaker 5: a character. He is a character.
Speaker 16: And you never like to see Arabia League player or
Speaker 16: any any sportsperson for that matter, retiring because of an injury.
Speaker 16: And this is as a bad shot injury for him.
Speaker 16: But in some good news, the Dragons have locked in
Speaker 16: their dummy half Jacob Little with a three year extension.
Speaker 16: The Red Vee have already got Damien cooked there until
Speaker 16: at the end of twenty six and that's when they
Speaker 16: think that young little who was I've said he's only
Speaker 16: twenty I think twenty seven years of age.
Speaker 5: He'll go straight into.
Speaker 16: That role and he'll be their hooker because he's been
Speaker 16: come up with a bench of la and he's been
Speaker 16: really good for the Dragons.
Speaker 5: So I'm good to see him rewarded with an extension.
Speaker 2: Yes, and Jacob Karraz that the Bulldog's wing has been
Speaker 2: called to the new south West squad.
Speaker 16: Well, yes, look, there's always an injury cloud over someone
Speaker 16: or some team in origin. This time it's Penrith Brian
Speaker 16: Tot who says all they saying that he's got some
Speaker 16: hamstring tightness. He'll be rested from training in the Blue
Speaker 16: Mountains until the weekend. So yeah, Jacob Carraz has been
Speaker 16: brought in and in a big tick as well because
Speaker 16: Laurie Daly is boarding a young guy called Thomas Jenkins.
Speaker 16: If you don't know Thomas Jenkins, he's a winger for Penrith.
Speaker 16: He scored three tries on the weekend. Yeah, he's been
Speaker 16: bored in the camp as an extra training body to
Speaker 16: help the Blues prepared. So what a dream come true
Speaker 16: for young they call him Milkie. He's Milkie buddy.
Speaker 2: I heard the backstory about Milky on the weekend and
Speaker 2: so he played with the Knights last year. Was a
Speaker 2: fringe player son.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he come from he's.
Speaker 16: Penrith junior who came from down south Birawong I think
Speaker 16: somewhere like there and he come up to Penrith, played
Speaker 16: with Penrith, then with the Newcastle try and play first grade.
Speaker 16: I think he played one or two first grade games
Speaker 16: and that was it. This year he went to some
Speaker 16: Mary's feed the club four Penrith or junior rugby league
Speaker 16: club that's right next to Penroth, played train there. Ivan
Speaker 16: Cleary apparently heard how good he was training and brought
Speaker 16: him straight up to Penrith. So he's been a fantastic
Speaker 16: signing for the Panthers this year. The second coming of
Speaker 16: the Milkman has been fantastic and it couldn't have happened
Speaker 16: to a better Blake.
Speaker 5: He's a great character of the game and I love
Speaker 5: the way he plays.
Speaker 2: Yeah, post rugid league, it's important that rugby league players
Speaker 2: you build a career post rgy league, easy looking to
Speaker 2: become a milkman.
Speaker 16: Milkman, remember I remember remember the day when we I
Speaker 16: don't know if I'm showing my age here, but you
Speaker 16: hear the milkman coming, you put like you put four
Speaker 16: or five bucks under the milk, and you hear the
Speaker 16: railing of the rattling of the bottles, and you go
Speaker 16: the milkman's come, let's go and get the fresh milk
Speaker 16: out from the front.
Speaker 5: The front yard was not anymore. You just go down
Speaker 5: to the local showing center.
Speaker 2: I know we're going off topic here a little bit, MG,
Speaker 2: but I think when I was a kid, when I
Speaker 2: was a really young kid, I think we may have
Speaker 2: had a bread man too.
Speaker 5: Yes, we did.
Speaker 2: The baker who would deliver the bread baker, Yeah, Heathcake.
Speaker 2: There was a breadman who came under the streets to
Speaker 2: heath Cake.
Speaker 16: Well, I'm fifty six, so that was right up my own.
Speaker 16: We also used to have a soft drink man who crystals,
Speaker 16: who would bring around created crates of lemonade and coke
Speaker 16: and fanna and drop him off by the crate.
Speaker 2: The crate four and this one's before our time. You
Speaker 2: used to have an ice box man, so before they
Speaker 2: had refrigerators.
Speaker 5: Yep.
Speaker 2: Now, John Stanley used to tell me about this when
Speaker 2: John Stanley was eat be in the street and people
Speaker 2: would knock on the house in the Inner West with
Speaker 2: the ice box because John didn't have a fridge.
Speaker 16: I remember the something I did the other night. For
Speaker 16: the first time in a long time. I was sitting
Speaker 16: there at home and we heard I heard the dingling
Speaker 16: l the ice cream man. I jumped the car, went
Speaker 16: to to whippy. Now these days they saw him in
Speaker 16: the boxes. They don't sell them like the ice creams.
Speaker 16: I said, can I get a drumstick? You gotta buy
Speaker 16: twelve point?
Speaker 3: What I so?
Speaker 5: I bought twelve? Yeah, I did.
Speaker 2: You just said, Look I spoke about this little leader
Speaker 2: in the program. I think the icy C, the international
Speaker 2: gathering body for cricket, has done it so for real disservice, Yes,
Speaker 2: by selling their rights to Amazon Prime. I completely get
Speaker 2: that we need to fund top level sport, but I
Speaker 2: think a lot of people are going to miss out
Speaker 2: seeing this final between Australia and South Africa.
Speaker 16: Is not You wouldn't even know it's on. To be honest,
Speaker 16: this is one of the you know, this is one
Speaker 16: of the biggest test matches of the year. South Africa
Speaker 16: have come from nowhere to play Australia, who are always
Speaker 16: one of the favorites.
Speaker 5: To make this final.
Speaker 16: India obviously the other favorites along with England, but South
Speaker 16: Africa have had a really good test series, may mind
Speaker 16: you against lesser teams than an Australia place, but still
Speaker 16: they find themselves in the final. But you wouldn't know
Speaker 16: it's on. It's on tonight at seven thirty on Amazon Prime.
Speaker 16: And if you don't have that, you can't watch it.
Speaker 16: I've I thought to myself today and you were going
Speaker 16: to speak about this. I've got Foxtel, I've got Stan yep,
Speaker 16: I've got Disney Plus, I've got Paramount, I've got Prime, Amazon,
Speaker 16: I've got this new one called Max I mean, and
Speaker 16: I'm wondering where all my money's starting to go. It's
Speaker 16: in subscriptions. At the moment, I've got eight subscriptions to
Speaker 16: different things.
Speaker 2: We've got Netflix yep, We've got Stand and I should
Speaker 2: football disclosure. I actually don't pay for Stand because of
Speaker 2: the company that I work for. We have Disney because
Speaker 2: my wife and the kids they like to watch all
Speaker 2: those Marvel movies and they used to watch all the
Speaker 2: Star Wars stuff. The point is that it doesn't matter
Speaker 2: if it's Netflix, stand whatever it is. You've got to
Speaker 2: draw the line somewhere. You can't subscribe to them all.
Speaker 2: And I just think it. And I understand that sports
Speaker 2: need to do their best financially, but long term, I
Speaker 2: think they may be shooting themselves in the foot. What happens,
Speaker 2: particularly with primary.
Speaker 16: Whatever is ruberly goes a Netflix are something like they're
Speaker 16: being rumored to be having Well, what if that happens,
Speaker 16: then all the grassroots people who love this sport it
Speaker 16: can't afford a next Netflix account.
Speaker 2: The argument is, there is an argument because the subscription
Speaker 2: services you can come and go pretty much as you please,
Speaker 2: which you know, great. But if you're just a passing fan,
Speaker 2: if you're a casual fan of cricket, you're not going
Speaker 2: to just subscribe to Amazon forit tonight. But if you
Speaker 2: were a casual fan and it was on free to
Speaker 2: where it can be anything. It doesn't have to be
Speaker 2: our network, any of the networks. It's on it seven
Speaker 2: thirty tonight, it's on primetime, you might tune in and go,
Speaker 2: oh wow, this is good.
Speaker 5: I agree, I agree, buddy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just before you run, yep, I know you've brought
Speaker 2: your socks in the day. I'm not in the studios
Speaker 2: because I'm out here at the airport. You've been handing
Speaker 2: out socks at work. I have well.
Speaker 16: I first started wearing them in and someone asked me
Speaker 16: what they were, No gym socks, And fourteen people now

Speaker 2: I wear black socks to work, and pickleball's good. And
Speaker 2: when I had to change my shoes a couple of
Speaker 2: weeks ago, my producer was Emily was quite alarmed when
Speaker 2: I changed my shoes. She noticed my black socks. She's
Speaker 2: a little bit concerned about the state of my black sox.
Speaker 2: There are a few holes in the.
