WEBVTT - Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard – Full Show June 11th 0:00:11.119 --> 0:00:16.640 Onto GV. This is Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard. 0:00:17.760 --> 0:00:20.520 Wednesday, June eleven, one three one eight seven three. It's 0:00:20.520 --> 0:00:24.119 Clinton Maynard here broadcasting from the Western Sydney Airport with 0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:27.200 a special edition of the program. I'm standing inside the terminal. 0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:30.240 This is the sparkling new terminal that Anthony ALBERNIZI has 0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:33.559 inspected today. I'm at Gate twenty one A. This is 0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:36.479 a domestic gait and I'm looking out towards the runway. 0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:40.080 It's three point seven kilometers long and next year planes 0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:43.040 will be taking off and landing from this runway. In 0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:46.320 the background the beautiful blue mountains there in the distance, 0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:50.040 and this terminal in part is inspired by the blue mountains. 0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:52.920 It was back in the nineteen eighties the first SOD 0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:55.840 was actually turned here when Bob Hawk was Prime Minister. 0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:58.000 Of course, in the decades since there's been so much 0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:01.160 political toing and throwing. But now it's a reality and 0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:04.399 from next year this will be in full operation. The 0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:07.280 airport is spread over the size of thirteen and a 0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:11.000 half football fields. It is massive and within four years 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:14.039 there'll be around two hundred flights. Today twenty three thousand 0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:17.360 passengers every day throughout the program, I'll give you a 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:19.440 taste of what this airport is like and what the 0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:22.360 future holds. Will also bring you everything else that's happening 0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:25.360 in Sydney. As usual, Lucy Zelich joins me after four 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:27.840 point thirty to stir the pot Mark guy at Talking 0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:30.360 Sport after five point thirty and will play the quiz 0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:33.000 towards the end of the show. As always, I need 0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:35.240 you to be our eyes and ears in Sydney. If 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:37.319 it's happening now, let me know about it. Send me 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:40.240 a text message zero four zero eight seven three eight 0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:42.920 seven three our number as always one three one eight 0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:55.960 seven three. Let's begin the program finding out a little 0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:58.120 bit more about this amazing airport that you'll be coming 0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:01.720 to next year. I'm with the CEO and Heke Simon. Congratulations. 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:02.040 Thanks. 0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:05.360 It's a great day, a great milestone, not just for 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:08.760 me but for the whole team. There's been eleven thousand 0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:10.960 people that have worked at this airport and it's just 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:14.680 tremendous that we're at this point where we're now finished 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:17.040 our major works constructions and we can get on with 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:20.160 testing the airport and getting ready to welcome our first 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:21.160 passengers next year. 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:24.120 I remember this being an issue back in the nineteen 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:25.760 eighties when I was a kid, would there be a 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:28.280 Battery's Creek Airport? The Prime Minister made a reference to 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:31.800 a sod even being turned when Bob Hawk was PM. 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:33.720 It's hard to believe it's actually here now. 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:38.160 So Barry Unsworth, an expremie arouse, once told me a 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:41.080 story that he was there were floods in western Sydney 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:43.520 and he was in a helicopter with Bob Hawk and 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:46.000 they're flying around and he leans on and says, hey, 0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:48.519 Bob that there was one dry patch and he said, 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:50.960 that's where our new airport's going to go. And of 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:53.040 course there was a sod turn, But that means What 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:55.480 it actually means is that there's been lots of land 0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:58.560 use planning around this airport. There's been a lot of 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:01.320 thought put into it, and hey, we're getting closer to 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:02.840 that day when we open to the public. 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:05.120 We are standing here in one of the domestic gates. 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:07.160 This is Gate twenty one A, and I'm looking out 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:10.320 towards magnificent view. Yeah it's the Blue Mountains. 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:11.440 Isn't this a beautiful view? 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:13.280 So people are going to love it. I really love 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:16.880 airports that engage you with the theater. As you're waiting 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.720 for your aircraft or you're sitting waiting to board, you 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:21.760 can look out and see the theater that's happening out 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:22.480 on the airside. 0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:23.720 This has got great big. 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:26.200 Windows they open up and behind that theater of what's 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:28.480 happening directly in front of you with the aircraft, you 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:31.600 look across and you see the beautiful blue mountains. It's 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:32.480 a beautiful scene. 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:34.800 Well, it is a lovely winter's day. There's hardly clad 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:36.560 in the sky, so but that light is shining it. 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:39.200 I mean, it might be better top. It actually puts 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:40.000 me in a good mood. 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:42.960 So what we've looked at, and there's been a lot 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:45.640 of analysis on this, it's very stressful when you go 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:48.000 through an airport. People are quite stressed. You know, am 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:50.040 I going to make the aircraft? Where have I got 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:52.240 to go? So what we've done at this airport, what 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:55.320 reduces that stress is a couple of things. The first 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:58.240 one is lots of natural light, and this airport is 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:02.720 full of natural light. We've got highlights throughout. There's lots 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:05.160 of natural light. We're looking out at the blue mountains 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:10.400 here through three stories of windows all stacked on top 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:13.280 of each other here, So that's one thing. Lots of 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:15.720 volume of air so that I feel like and I 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:19.000 know where I'm going, easy wayfinding, and that's what we've 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:20.440 tried to put together at this airport. 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:23.040 We are used to in Sydney, major projects running a 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:25.360 little bit late. What surprises me, I'm going to say, 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:27.600 it's a pleasant surprise driving in here and inspecting the 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.600 terminal today, is the fact that this is complete, essentially 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:33.400 more than a year before planes land the takeoff. Why 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:34.640 if you needed to do that early. 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:38.400 So five years ago we determined this was the date 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:40.919 that we were going to be compluted. Our major works 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:43.960 contracts we're going to be completed. And you know, we've 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:47.320 had since then. We've had COVID, we've had floods, we've 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:52.120 had bushfires, we've had plagues, we've had price escalations and 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:54.680 labor shortages. But what we've done is. 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:57.200 We've worked collaboratively with everybody. 0:04:56.760 --> 0:05:01.039 Across this who's been working on the airport, and we've 0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:04.640 really had a bias to action. We've really made sure 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:07.080 that this was the safest site that we could possibly 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:11.440 have and we've worked and resolved issues as we've gone along. 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:13.479 We haven't left them for the end and that stood 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:16.800 us in good stead. So I think our contractors are 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:19.359 really happy. We're really happy, and we're here where we 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:19.839 want it to be. 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:22.920 Today you've confirmed and our New Zealand's confirmed they will 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:24.680 be using this airport as well. That comes on top 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:27.839 of Quarters Jets Singapore Airlines. Will there be more airlines 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:28.440 in the future. 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:30.440 Yeah, we're talking to a lot of airlines. So we're 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:32.680 talking to over thirty airlines at the moment. In the 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.680 recent ROUTS conference we met with over thirty airlines. 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:37.440 There's a lot of interest now building. 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:39.279 We had to get to this point, you know, where 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:40.680 there's much more surety. 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:41.400 About when we're opening. 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:44.920 We've got some great airlines on board, and of course 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:47.920 we'll keep on talking to airlines. Airlines are really important 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:52.000 to make this a vibrant airport, but we're also getting 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:53.080 the cargo precinct up. 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:55.679 It's a twenty four hour day airport, which is different 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:58.600 obviously to Mascot. So is does that entice air lines 0:05:58.720 --> 0:05:59.919 or is that what there's going to be focus on. 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:04.640 It helps for both those things. So for cargo, that's 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:07.320 not just important for the airport, that's important for the 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:11.320 surrounding community. It means that Amazon and Australia posts just 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:14.440 up there in Kemps Creek can continue to grow. It 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:16.840 means that you know there'll be more industrial around us. 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:19.600 It means a Bradfield city building right next door to 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:22.960 us gets more successful. But also for airlines, it means 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:25.599 you can hit their hub banks, you can actually connect 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:29.559 more easily, and so there'll be more opportunities for people 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:32.480 to travel on many more different airlines to many more 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:34.120 greater places as a result of that. 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:36.800 Just on some of the challenging issues just on aircraft noise, 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:40.400 it's always an issue with any airport. Do you have concerns. 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:44.120 We've always engaged with our community, a surrounding community, and 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:46.760 it's really important that we've brought community along with us. 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:49.719 So already at the Experience Center, we've had over one 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.920 hundred thousand visitors that have come to that airport. We've 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:55.800 always been open and transparent about what we're doing. We 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:58.800 are focused on the noise that we contribute here at 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:00.480 the airport, so we've got a lot of things. 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:02.440 We've got electric. 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:06.880 Servicing of the aircraft that come off the aerobridges, so 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:09.240 you don't have engine noise when you hear we'll work 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:12.640 with the airlines to go to single engine taxing. 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:14.960 We won't let aircraft. 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:17.600 Will hold them at the gates rather than let them 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:19.880 queue up so there's less noise when they take off. 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:21.920 So we're doing a lot of things around the airport. 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:27.480 There's been a lot of consultation and air Services and 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:30.560 the Department of Infrastructure have taken that into account. When 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:33.280 they've put those the flight passed again. 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:35.800 The other big issue simon for Sydney side is the location. 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:38.040 For many people, this is a great location, but for 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:40.440 a lot of others it's a long way from where 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:42.560 they live, whether it's the North, South, the East, even 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:44.880 parts of the west. Driving here this morning, it was 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:48.720 along Elizabeth Road, which in parts of it it's one lane. 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:50.960 I know the M twelve will open, there'll be a metro, 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:51.960 but it's going to be a bit of a delay 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:53.160 until all that's operating. 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:56.360 So we're actually quite well connected across all of Sydney. 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:59.120 So when the M twelve opens, it connects to THEM seven, 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:02.320 So that's a really fundamental front door for us. Them 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:05.480 twelve connecting to the M seven means it also connects 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:07.080 because the M seven connects to. 0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:08.240 The M four and the M five. 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:12.800 They're the two major motorways connecting east to west in Sydney. 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:16.560 So actually that's a really important connection. That means that 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:19.640 you can get to Paramatta or to the CBD without 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:23.240 hitting one set of traffic lights. That's a pretty big improvement. 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:25.360 And depending on when you can kick get in, you know, 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:27.800 that'll be fifty minutes to around about an hour to 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:31.960 get into the CBD. So ultimately I think we'll be 0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:34.480 really well connected. We'll have bus services that are going. 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:36.600 We've got plenty of car parks for people to get here. 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:40.560 We've already upgraded the Northern Road and that's been used. 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:44.560 We're upgrading Elizabeth Drive, we're upgrading Momroe Road. So those 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:47.880 things are coming, and that's because this is the lynchpin 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:51.160 for making those things happen. And that's not just for 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:54.959 the airport, that's for everyone who lives anywhere around this area. 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:57.920 Those upgrades are coming, and you know, I think we 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:00.240 can be a little patient because we know that on 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:00.439 the way. 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:03.880 So congratulations. Who is truly impressive as somebody, as I mentioned, 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:06.080 was a kid in the eighties hearing about this to 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.600 actually see it now in twenty twenty five ahead of 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:10.640 next year. It's fantastic, thanks very much. 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:13.480 I think everybody is really proud of where we are today, 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:14.079 So thank. 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:17.319 You Western Sydney Airport. So yeah, simon here until six. 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:20.960 This is Sydney now with Clinton Maynard on two GB 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:22.360 call now one. 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:24.120 Three one eight seven three. 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:27.920 And I'm getting plenty of feedback already from you about 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:30.040 Western City Airport. Now. Chris is making the point of 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:32.880 the text line, imagine building a second international airport and 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:36.360 only having one runway. We're not very smart as a country. Well, 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:38.960 to be fair to them, Chris, they have the plans 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:41.960 ready for the second so once the capacity is reached, 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:44.600 and it'll probably take a more than a decade for 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:46.960 the capacity to reach, at the moment they have the 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:49.760 plans to build the second runway. Here, they have the space, 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:53.640 the terminal is designed, and at the moment the terminal, 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:57.680 the southern wall the terminal can easily be effectively opened 0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:00.160 up and the terminal itself can be extended. They have 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:02.240 the space and the plans to do that, and then 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:05.040 they have the location now for a second terminal. So 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:08.200 it's very much built to expand into the future and 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:10.640 over the coming years. It's going to take some time 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:12.600 to ramp up. It'll be about four years until there's 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:14.840 say two hundred flights here a day, So there is 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:17.520 that capacity for a second airport. We'll talk about the 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:20.000 airport throughout the program, but we'll also cover everything else. 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:22.120 Is that happening in Sydney this afternoon? If you see 0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:24.600 something we need to know about, whether it's on the roads, 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:27.720 the trains, the ferries, let me know. One three, one 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:30.440 eight seveny three is our number. This is Sydney now 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:33.600 twenty seven pass through some breaking news out of Canberra. 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:37.480 There are some significant changes on the way for the NDIS. 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:41.920 Health workers such as physiotherapists, dietitians and peddietrists will have 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:45.360 playments reduced in the new financial year. Now this isn't 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:48.000 a bid to try to reduce the cost because we 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:50.480 know there's been a massive blowout with the NDIS. There's 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:53.640 been a review of more than ten million transactions. It's 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:56.679 found that many pricing limits for NDS therapies were at 0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:59.839 a step with market rates, ie they were too much. 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:03.280 In some cases, NDS providers were charging fees that were 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:06.480 sixty eight percent higher than the private market. So the 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:10.280 agency's now confirmed the maximum alley rate for NDOS, physiotherapists 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:13.160 with for instance, cut by ten dollars from the first July, 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:15.120 so it would reduced to cap. The aim of this 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:16.920 is to save money because, as you know, the nd 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:18.920 ICE is completely out of control. Now, I want to 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:21.000 cross to James Wilson, who's been at this press conference 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:24.240 with the police in regards this chase that started in 0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:27.560 Campbelltown ended in Sydney Airport at Mascot. But during the 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:31.559 chase it saw the driver allegedly drive through the car 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:34.840 park off the police station. James Wilson with nine News 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:37.560 has been at the press comens. Gooday James, today, Clinton, 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:40.440 how are you? I'm good, So explain to me what transpired. 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:42.400 It's a pretty. 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:45.120 Wild story, so police are claiming it. Around one fifty 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:47.880 this morning, there's a driver of a Ford Ranger. His 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:50.920 name's Daniel Young. He's forty seven year old from Rose Meadow. 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:53.520 He was allegedly high on ice and he was basically 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:56.800 on a rampage through the Campbelltown CBD. We've got plenty 0:11:56.800 --> 0:12:00.880 of CCTV that we've collected today to show him ramming 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:05.880 up to thirty businesses, smashing through shopfronts, causing an absolute 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:09.960 ruckus plenty of damage. He's then what police have described, 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:13.360 followed witnesses back to Campbelltown Police station who were going 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:16.400 to report his behavior. He's driven through the car park 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:19.360 obviously got the attention of officers, and then from them 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:22.280 after smashing up to thirty shop fronts, he's got on 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:25.839 a fifty kilometer pursuit to Sydney Airport where he's then 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:29.680 smashed through a gate of a restricted area and crashed 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:31.960 into a boomgate. Now that's where it all ended for 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:35.760 Daniel Young. He was arrested by Highway patrol officers there. 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:39.600 But my goodness, Clinton a trail of destruction in his way. 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:43.760 To say the least, it would have cost businesses. If 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:46.400 he's smashed through thirty odd shopfronts, it's going to cost 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:47.440 him a hell of a lot of money. 0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:48.480 Of course. 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:53.120 These are grocery stores, toy shops, lawyer's office and the lawyer's. 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:54.800 Officers, all sorts of businesses you can imagine. 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.960 Obviously a lot of your listeners from Kempbelltown or have 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:00.320 been in the CBT. It's a very diverse, David. 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:01.319 Plenty of businesses. 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:04.960 Most of them are independently owned and run as well. 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:07.000 He spoke to plenty of those shop owners today whill 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:10.240 pretty devdated. Some of them were able to reopen, but 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:13.680 at the moment there are just tradees everywhere. O'Brien's Glass 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:17.320 is getting an absolute workout. They have to they have 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:20.120 to replace so many window panes. Yeah, but a lot 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:22.319 of them are hopefully are going to get up and running, 0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:23.560 but the damage is significant. 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:25.800 So the man who is in custody at the moment, 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:27.360 and he'll be before the courts. 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:31.120 He has already faced the Downing Center a short time ago. Clinton, 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:33.720 he applied to bail that was refused and in court 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:36.600 it was mentioned that he was already on bail and 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:38.640 a curfew for a prior offense as well. 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:40.640 Wonderful he's allegedly got. 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.120 Some form, but he'll stay in custody until his next 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:44.200 appearance later this month. 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:46.800 Thanks Jane. We'll see your report on nine News tonight. 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:50.080 James Wilson And so, as James's explained here, the bloke 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:52.800 who has been charged with this offense, with leading police 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:55.960 on the chase, with damaging upwards of thirty shops. The 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:59.600 goal is already on bail, allegedly high on iice and 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:03.079 through the police car park at Campbelltown Police Station. 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:07.679 AGAs, Update, upgrade and save with Winston with a wine 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:11.080 in twenty five percent of motorized blinds, curtains and dawnings. 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:15.199 Book now at Winston dot com dot aus. 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:20.120 Hey. We got the latest. Good afternoon caty. 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:23.520 Four, Good afternoon Clinton. As we've just heard around thirty 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:26.920 shops have been damaged in Campbelltown, smashed in by a 0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:30.760 ute which mounted the footpath. Police chase the vehicle down 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:34.080 the M five to a restricted section of Sydney Airport 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:37.600 where a forty seven year old man allegedly plowed into 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:41.280 a boomgate and was arrested. Key Allied Health workers who 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:44.800 receive NDIS funding will have their payments slashed in the 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:48.000 new financial year. The forty nine billion dollar scheme is 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:51.920 seeking to bring down costs. Public hospital patients are waiting 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:54.520 an average of three hundred and twenty two days for 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:58.960 elective surgeries. Nurses say staff shortages are to blame, and 0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:02.840 Popstar tailor Swift has been granted a restraining order against 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:05.520 a forty five year old man who she claims has 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:09.360 been following her for almost a year in Sport Sharks 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:12.920 coach Craig Fitzgibbons says it stings to see his side's 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:17.080 recent drop off in defense. Cronulla has conceded eighty two 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:20.080 points in their past two games. Heading into tomorrow nights 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:23.800 NRL Derby with the Dragons. Clinton More News at four. 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:26.920 Think k Katie. Sixteen degrees on the coast, also sixteen 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:31.080 in Campbelltown. Tonight is the Strawberry Moon. So the June 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:34.240 full moon is known as the Strawberry Moon, and this 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:36.360 is going to be at full strength this evening. It 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:39.120 is a once in every nineteen year phenomenon and it 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:42.280 will see the moon reach its highest possible point in 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:44.560 the southern sky. So when you see a big moon tonight, 0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:48.000 that's what you're looking at. It's the Strawberry Moon. Well, 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:51.360 Channel ten's now confirmed. Yes, as we've been speculating over 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:53.720 the past couple of weeks, the project is gone and 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:56.320 it has been replaced by a new current affairs program. 0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:57.640 Peter Ford has all the details. 0:15:57.640 --> 0:15:59.400 Good afternoon, Peter, High Love Clinton. 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:01.600 One of those stories that have been doing the rounds 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:04.240 over the last few weeks in the speculation has proved 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:07.800 to be not correct. So this is all official and confirmed. 0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:11.480 And announced by Channel ten. They have announced that ten 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:15.600 News Plus is the name of the show ten News Plus, 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:18.920 starting at six o'clock on June on its first week 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:21.920 of July, and it goes for one hour. And they 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:25.640 put out a very glossy pick of the ten presenters 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:29.400 and hosts of the show. And there's a couple of 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:32.040 old war horses in there to really good talent like 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:34.240 Hugh Wimington, we didn't know he would be a part 0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:37.320 of it, and Angela Bishop and really terrific young talent 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:40.520 as well. So look, I hope it goes really well 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:43.480 for them. It must be costing a lot of money, 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:46.320 a lot of money, you know, five nights a week, 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:48.640 the Friday night show is not going to be a 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:51.000 best job that had been doing the rounds as well. 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:53.560 So that's a lot of content to be churning out, 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:56.920 particularly when you've already stipulated that it's going to be 0:16:57.240 --> 0:17:02.120 an investigatives type of journalism form journalism. It's not going 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:04.800 to be so much of the same day turnaround that 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:07.880 we're used to on current affairs shows. So good luck 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:09.879 to them, And you know, I think I'm going to 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:12.119 watch it with a lot of interest. I just worry 0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:14.120 that the lead up time is very short. 0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:17.320 Look, I know a lot of people involved in this personally, 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:20.800 and there's some really good long term experience journalists such 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:24.520 as Angela Bishop, Hugh Riminton and some excellent reporters who've 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:27.280 done really quality work overseas such as Amelia Base and 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:30.600 Denham Hitchcock. So it's put together by Daniel Sutton. He's 0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:33.160 very well known to Sydney audiences over a long period 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:35.080 of time. I think they'll do a really good job. 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:36.480 But you're right they would have been spending a fev 0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:37.080 bit of money on this. 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:40.600 Well, I would venture to suggest the cost of the 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:43.320 show would be the same as they were probably paying 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:45.639 for the project, because you've got so many people on 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:48.720 the road doing stories and crews and editors, whereas the 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:51.679 project itself was actually quite a very cheap show really 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:54.760 to get to air, they didn't shoot that many stories 0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:56.840 on the road, But of course you were paying a 0:17:56.920 --> 0:18:02.520 huge licensing fee to Row McManus's company to actually provide 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:05.040 the show. So that's where the money was going. So 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:07.600 now the money redeployed into it in house production. 0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:10.960 The ABC has confirmed the Q and A program is gone. 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:14.840 Yes, so that was not unexpected. Just before midday today, 0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:17.120 the release came out to announce that that's gone. They're 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:21.120 talking about changing times, finding new ways to interact with 0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:24.000 the audience, and it is true. You know, clearly things 0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:26.400 have changed, and certainly in the early days of Twitter, 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:28.639 Q and A was one of the first TV shows 0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:32.159 to really embrace that concept of using it to on 0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:35.240 air to get reactions to things. So the show won't 0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:38.680 come back in August as was planned, and look, it's 0:18:38.720 --> 0:18:43.199 had a long history, I think, unfortunately, not unlike the 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:46.640 problem with the project is there was a perception problem 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:49.440 that would have become too woke and too left leaning, 0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:53.479 and conservative voices weren't getting a fair or equal hearing, 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:56.399 and that perception I think has probably done with a 0:18:56.400 --> 0:18:57.320 lot of damage. 0:18:57.840 --> 0:18:59.680 Yeah, no doubt. Thank you, Pete. We'll talk tomorrow. 0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:00.840 Thanks Clinton. 0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:03.680 Peter Ford with entertainment used word on the street. Thanks 0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:06.159 to temper, temper a great night's sleep, night after night. 0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:09.000 The difference is temper. Michael, You've got a traffic update 0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:09.920 for us. 0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:13.600 So there's been a car into a pole on Luxid 0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:17.359 Road just before Carlo Avenue heading towards Rugy Hill Road. 0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:21.280 Son, Yes, you mount Drew it. 0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:25.520 Yeah, when I drove past, the car was smoking about 0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:26.240 the catch fire. 0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:27.800 People were trying to put it out. 0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:31.359 Looked like he was on the grass. He looked like 0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:32.000 he was okay. 0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:36.159 But I guarantee you the the car was basically in 0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:38.600 the right hand lane, so only one lane getting through 0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:40.320 and traffic will be banked up pretty soon. 0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:40.760 I reckon. 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:44.000 Hopefully fortunately the drivers out of the car. Hopefully he's okay. 0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:46.280 Yes, yeah, that's amazing. 0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:48.080 Yeah, he's out of the car and he looked okay 0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:51.239 on the ground. So yeah, hopefully they put the car 0:19:51.320 --> 0:19:53.280 out now, but hopefully that that's going to cause a 0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:54.080 lot of coming. 0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:57.680 Thanks letting snap obviously, Yeah, thanks thanks letting us know 0:19:57.720 --> 0:20:00.520 about that. Michael. That's Luxford Road, Mount Drew, so just 0:20:00.600 --> 0:20:03.840 before Carlisle Avenue. It is southbound. There's been a car 0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:06.240 on fire, but it looks like the driver is going 0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:08.080 to be okay. But that's going to cause some traffic 0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:08.600 delays there. 0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:11.680 If it matters to you, you'll hear it here Sydney 0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:14.119 Now with Clinton Maynard until six. 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:14.320 Now. 0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:16.480 I've got a message here from Michael on the text line, 0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:19.760 why is the cricket not on free to air TV? Tonight. 0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:24.679 It's on Prime. This is an absolute travesty and I 0:20:24.720 --> 0:20:27.640 know Spiro touched on it this morning on Ben's program. 0:20:28.000 --> 0:20:29.720 I think this is a real lesson for sport in 0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:33.520 the future about how they do deals with major competition. 0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:37.840 This is the final, the ICC Championship Finals. So what 0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:40.919 this is and it's a fairly new concept, but it 0:20:41.080 --> 0:20:44.480 pits against each other the best two cricketing nations in 0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:48.439 the world and they basically receive points winning matches as 0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:49.719 over the course of a couple of years and then 0:20:49.720 --> 0:20:53.080 a final is played, so it's Australia against India and 0:20:53.160 --> 0:20:56.199 it starts tonight from seven point thirty at Lord's in London. 0:20:56.920 --> 0:20:59.640 And okay, it doesn't have the history of the Ashes 0:20:59.680 --> 0:21:03.240 because it's historically this is new, but this should be 0:21:03.280 --> 0:21:06.119 a really big deal. And the problem is a lot 0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:09.240 of people don't even realize it's on or like yourself, Michael, 0:21:09.440 --> 0:21:10.840 you're not going to be able to watch it because 0:21:10.880 --> 0:21:12.720 it's on a streaming service. And I think there's a 0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:15.480 real lesson here for sports in the future when they're 0:21:15.880 --> 0:21:18.960 negotiating their broadcast rights to be really careful of how 0:21:19.000 --> 0:21:23.520 they sell them, because the reality is the sports need 0:21:23.560 --> 0:21:26.600 to fund their competitions. They will chase the big dollars 0:21:26.640 --> 0:21:29.679 of PayTV streaming services. But you risk a sport becoming 0:21:29.680 --> 0:21:33.760 irrelevant if you sign up to the wrong service. Now, fantastic, 0:21:33.800 --> 0:21:36.320 if you have Amazon Prime tonight and you like cricket, 0:21:36.680 --> 0:21:38.560 you're going to be able to watch it. But reality 0:21:38.600 --> 0:21:41.399 is most people don't have Amazon Prime. Very few of 0:21:41.440 --> 0:21:44.160 us can afford to subscribe to all the streaming services. 0:21:44.880 --> 0:21:46.480 You gotta make a choice. That there's about a dozen 0:21:46.520 --> 0:21:49.800 streaming services now, the high profile ones. We can't have 0:21:49.840 --> 0:21:52.639 them all. And I think sports are doing themselves a 0:21:52.640 --> 0:21:55.560 disservice to the administrators if they sell out to some of 0:21:55.600 --> 0:21:58.439 these services. Now, the hardcore cricket fan may well be 0:21:58.480 --> 0:22:00.600 able to sign up to Amazon for a month and 0:22:01.119 --> 0:22:05.200 then cut their subscription. Fine, But for the passing fan, 0:22:05.960 --> 0:22:09.439 perhaps the non obsessive cricket fan, they won't be bothered, 0:22:10.000 --> 0:22:12.840 so they won't see the match, the game won't get 0:22:12.840 --> 0:22:15.719 as much publicity as really it deserves. And I think 0:22:15.800 --> 0:22:17.479 this is going to be a big issue for sports 0:22:17.520 --> 0:22:19.399 going forward. And I'd be saying the same thing if 0:22:19.440 --> 0:22:21.680 we were talking about the most popular streaming service, which 0:22:21.720 --> 0:22:24.200 is Netflix, or if we were talking about stand which 0:22:24.240 --> 0:22:27.560 is owned by this company, not entertainment. The days were 0:22:27.560 --> 0:22:29.720 actually much simpler, where we just if you want a 0:22:29.720 --> 0:22:32.320 premium sport you ended up subscribing to Foxtel. Yep. Was 0:22:32.320 --> 0:22:35.360 pretty expensive, but it was sort of simple. You either 0:22:35.400 --> 0:22:37.600 had what was on free to wear part of the 0:22:37.600 --> 0:22:40.080 anti siphoning laws, and then if you're real sports not 0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:42.960 you paid extra for Foxfelt. Now streaming services are a 0:22:43.000 --> 0:22:46.399 lot cheaper than Fox, absolutely, but because you've got about 0:22:46.400 --> 0:22:49.440 a dozen services, very few of us subscribe to the 0:22:49.480 --> 0:22:51.520 lot of them. And I think sports need to be 0:22:51.600 --> 0:22:54.040 really careful about this in the future because the ICC 0:22:54.320 --> 0:22:58.080 Championship Final tonight should be getting a lot of coverage, 0:22:58.680 --> 0:23:00.880 a lot of it's in primetime, oh for goodness sake, 0:23:01.840 --> 0:23:04.480 But cricket is doing itself out of an audience by 0:23:04.520 --> 0:23:06.440 having it on Amazon Prime, and same if it was 0:23:06.480 --> 0:23:09.160 on any of the other streaming services. At least back 0:23:09.160 --> 0:23:11.119 in the days where it was just Foxdalel, you just knew, well, 0:23:11.160 --> 0:23:12.880 I'm gonna fork out, I'm a sports lover or four 0:23:12.880 --> 0:23:14.800 big time for Foxdale. It was sort of simple. Now 0:23:14.800 --> 0:23:18.399 the world evolves, absolutely, but I think sports administrators need 0:23:18.440 --> 0:23:20.840 to take a lot of care. When they decide what 0:23:20.920 --> 0:23:22.800 they're going to do with their broadcast rights in the future. 0:23:22.840 --> 0:23:24.400 You gotta view on that. Let me know one three 0:23:24.440 --> 0:23:26.879 one eight seven three. It is Clinton Maino coming to 0:23:26.920 --> 0:23:29.639 you live from the Western Sydney International Airport. I'm just 0:23:29.720 --> 0:23:32.520 outside the terminal now, so I'm looking over the runway 0:23:32.640 --> 0:23:35.680 and so the whole precinct covers about thirteen and a 0:23:35.720 --> 0:23:38.680 half football fields. Just for some context of the size. 0:23:38.800 --> 0:23:41.600 Air New Zealand today confirmed there'll be the fourth airline 0:23:41.640 --> 0:23:44.720 to fly from here and to fly into here, Soli Cortas, 0:23:44.840 --> 0:23:48.040 Jet Star and Singapore Airlines along with Air New Zealand. 0:23:48.119 --> 0:23:51.359 The Air New Zealand flights will begin in twenty twenty seven. Now, 0:23:51.400 --> 0:23:53.480 thank you for your text messages. Thank you for pointing out. No, 0:23:53.640 --> 0:23:56.840 it is South Africa. The Aussies are playing tonight in 0:23:56.920 --> 0:24:01.080 the final of the ICC International Tour. I said India. 0:24:01.119 --> 0:24:03.000 You would thought you would thought India would have made it. 0:24:03.320 --> 0:24:05.960 You know, the South Africans are playing the Australians. But 0:24:06.000 --> 0:24:09.200 my point stands. Nevertheless, in fact, it adds to it 0:24:09.680 --> 0:24:11.560 if this was on free to wear, or if this 0:24:11.680 --> 0:24:13.520 was on a service that more of us had access 0:24:13.560 --> 0:24:16.480 to we know a lot more about this competition. One three, 0:24:16.520 --> 0:24:18.120 one eight seven three What do you think? Mark? 0:24:19.880 --> 0:24:23.800 I totally agree with Clinton stream he says, getting out 0:24:23.840 --> 0:24:27.280 of hand the price. You know, we have We've got 0:24:27.280 --> 0:24:29.800 three kids and we share our services and that, but 0:24:29.880 --> 0:24:32.840 it's getting out of hand. But as I said to 0:24:32.440 --> 0:24:37.320 the operator Layd that I'm a partner. We were we 0:24:37.400 --> 0:24:39.399 go to the Pink Test every year, and we were 0:24:39.440 --> 0:24:42.080 going to go to the three days, and we looked 0:24:42.080 --> 0:24:45.600 at prices made for for each day per person, looking 0:24:45.600 --> 0:24:47.280 at two hundred and fifty dollars ahead. 0:24:48.040 --> 0:24:52.919 That's unbelievable and it's a reality of sport. Our sports 0:24:52.920 --> 0:24:56.359 stars are very well remuterated. We understand why. But I 0:24:56.720 --> 0:24:59.639 had a look and I'm really fortunate by a yearly 0:24:59.640 --> 0:25:01.840 annual pass to go and see the Coroninla Sharks, Mark, 0:25:02.359 --> 0:25:03.880 But I had to look at the price for general 0:25:03.880 --> 0:25:06.840 admission the other day to go to Shark Park. It's 0:25:06.840 --> 0:25:11.000 more than forty bucks to stand. So it's not only 0:25:11.040 --> 0:25:14.080 the streaming services. Some of the entry for these ridiculous 0:25:14.080 --> 0:25:15.879 Good on your Mark, one three, one eight, seven to 0:25:15.960 --> 0:25:17.480 three What do you think, Bob. 0:25:19.040 --> 0:25:19.200 Oh? 0:25:19.320 --> 0:25:24.919 Good And I think that when the national team is competing. 0:25:25.880 --> 0:25:29.879 I'm part of the funding to the ABC. It should 0:25:29.920 --> 0:25:37.520 be a legislator that the ABC show national teamin you 0:25:37.960 --> 0:25:40.080 think something good with their funding. 0:25:41.560 --> 0:25:44.720 We do have the anti siphoning laws, which means significant 0:25:44.760 --> 0:25:47.280 sporting events involving national teams have to be shown on 0:25:47.320 --> 0:25:50.479 free to wear TV. Now I think the Ashes formed 0:25:50.480 --> 0:25:53.679 that category, but maybe because the ICC Championship in the 0:25:53.720 --> 0:25:57.040 final is a fairly new concept, it doesn't apply to that. 0:25:57.080 --> 0:25:59.679 But I agree with you, and I'm not saying I'm 0:25:59.720 --> 0:26:03.159 antie streaming. I've got these streaming services as well, but 0:26:03.240 --> 0:26:07.160 I don't have twelve of them. Very few of us do. Hello, Steve. 0:26:08.640 --> 0:26:09.920 Jay cleaning, How are you mate? 0:26:10.400 --> 0:26:11.160 I'm good, my friend. 0:26:11.720 --> 0:26:14.480 Did you You couldn't watch the soccer US play on 0:26:14.560 --> 0:26:15.879 TV this morning as well? 0:26:16.320 --> 0:26:19.000 And that was a national game. It was a World 0:26:19.040 --> 0:26:21.760 Cup qualifier, World. 0:26:21.560 --> 0:26:23.800 Cup player and you couldn't hear it on the radio. 0:26:23.840 --> 0:26:24.720 Why you were traveling? 0:26:26.000 --> 0:26:27.520 Well, that was what it was like back in the 0:26:27.560 --> 0:26:31.520 nineteen eighties before we had Fox Sports. I was one 0:26:31.520 --> 0:26:33.200 of those tragics, so I would stay up until the 0:26:33.240 --> 0:26:36.120 middle of the night listening to rugby league matches in 0:26:36.160 --> 0:26:39.040 the UK on Kangaroo toos for instance, when they were 0:26:39.040 --> 0:26:44.560 playing the club games. Yeah yeah, good on your yeah 0:26:44.680 --> 0:26:48.600 yeah yeah, And it just meant that there was more access. 0:26:48.680 --> 0:26:50.760 And you know, we've got to move into the modern 0:26:50.760 --> 0:26:52.119 well as well. So it's not to say that streaming 0:26:52.160 --> 0:26:54.480 services is bad. It's great. We can see every single 0:26:54.480 --> 0:26:57.399 sport under the sun. But you've got to draw the 0:26:57.480 --> 0:27:00.720 line somewhere. Point made here from one of our listeners. 0:27:00.720 --> 0:27:02.240 I've actually got a couple of messages. You see that 0:27:02.240 --> 0:27:04.800 that Amazon Prime's only six ninety one a month, so 0:27:04.800 --> 0:27:07.720 it's not much and it's a lot cheaper than Foxdell, 0:27:08.280 --> 0:27:11.480 no question about that. But my point is if you're 0:27:11.520 --> 0:27:14.480 a cricket tragic, yep, you might not want Amazon Prime 0:27:14.560 --> 0:27:16.239 for twelve months of the year, so you sign up 0:27:16.240 --> 0:27:21.359 for just this month. Fantastic. But Cricket Australia and the ICC, 0:27:21.520 --> 0:27:24.120 who be in control of the broadcast rights, they're doing 0:27:24.160 --> 0:27:27.560 themselves out of the passing fan. They're doing themselves as 0:27:27.600 --> 0:27:30.360 accessing the fan who's not obsessed with it. And we'll 0:27:30.400 --> 0:27:31.840 just go on and I couldn't be bother at handing 0:27:31.880 --> 0:27:39.320 over my credit card details with that particular service. I'm 0:27:39.359 --> 0:27:42.440 with Professor David Holme who's the principal with Cox Architecture. 0:27:42.720 --> 0:27:46.000 The brain's behind this magnificent building, the terminal for the 0:27:46.040 --> 0:27:48.399 new Western Sydney Airport, which we're standing in at the moment. 0:27:48.400 --> 0:27:51.120 Well, firstly, congratulations, thank you. I'm not sure it's brains. 0:27:51.119 --> 0:27:53.520 There's lots of emotion in here as well too. We 0:27:53.720 --> 0:27:57.240 set out to create and craft and experiences that was 0:27:57.280 --> 0:28:00.960 about the center place of Western Sydney absolutely and Australia, 0:28:01.000 --> 0:28:03.560 so that when people land or apart from here, they 0:28:03.560 --> 0:28:04.960 can get that sort of hair on the back of 0:28:04.960 --> 0:28:07.480 the neck tingle about. You know what an amazing experience. 0:28:07.520 --> 0:28:09.280 This can be welcome to Australia. 0:28:09.560 --> 0:28:11.359 All of us in Sydney, most of us in Sydney 0:28:11.359 --> 0:28:14.359 have spent time at Mascot Kingsford Smith. It's an airport 0:28:14.400 --> 0:28:17.880 that's been with us for generations. So once you walk 0:28:17.920 --> 0:28:22.199 into this terminal, the feel is just so different. 0:28:22.680 --> 0:28:24.720 Yeah, we wanted to embed it in Western Sydney, to 0:28:24.720 --> 0:28:27.280 really Western Sydney, which of course we all love Sydney 0:28:27.320 --> 0:28:29.359 and the great things the harbor, et cetera that comes 0:28:29.359 --> 0:28:32.600 with that. But this is about different sorts of materials 0:28:32.600 --> 0:28:35.280 and so the idea really, especially of the soaring ceiling 0:28:35.680 --> 0:28:38.040 is an idea of walking through a Cumberland forest. And 0:28:38.120 --> 0:28:41.160 so we we sort of without permission, went onto the 0:28:41.160 --> 0:28:44.000 Western Sydney Airport site some seven years ago and took 0:28:44.040 --> 0:28:45.960 some bark and held it up and imagine what light 0:28:46.080 --> 0:28:49.080 might be coming like through the bark, through the bark 0:28:49.320 --> 0:28:52.200 as a forest. Just describe that ceiling to me. So 0:28:52.360 --> 0:28:54.400 the idea is that we're leading natural light in what 0:28:54.480 --> 0:28:56.400 you'll see when you walk around the terminal as well. 0:28:56.400 --> 0:28:56.640 Too. 0:28:56.880 --> 0:28:59.520 We've let natural light come really deep down into the space, 0:28:59.600 --> 0:29:01.480 so not just the upper levels, but down into the 0:29:01.480 --> 0:29:04.800 lower levels. That's not a common thing in airports. Often 0:29:04.800 --> 0:29:06.800 they get the light is on the upper level only. 0:29:06.880 --> 0:29:09.200 So we've been able to modify the plan to let 0:29:09.240 --> 0:29:12.760 that light pierce down deep inside. So hopefully people traveling 0:29:12.840 --> 0:29:15.680 in and out from Australia to Western Sydney get that 0:29:15.760 --> 0:29:16.600 first experience. 0:29:16.600 --> 0:29:19.320 This is a beautiful crisp light coming into the terminal. 0:29:19.440 --> 0:29:21.880 I was standing at the gate slid earlier and you've 0:29:21.880 --> 0:29:23.760 got the view of the runway pair, but you've also 0:29:23.760 --> 0:29:25.680 had a view out west all the way to the 0:29:25.720 --> 0:29:26.960 Blue Mountains. Rrect's correct. 0:29:27.360 --> 0:29:30.120 We think that the architecture of Australia is sort of 0:29:30.120 --> 0:29:33.320 deeply rooted in landscape, so some metaphors we wanted to 0:29:33.360 --> 0:29:36.320 achieve were those views to the Blue mountains. The idea 0:29:36.360 --> 0:29:39.000 at the front here the analogy is the Verandah and 0:29:39.040 --> 0:29:40.720 the space that's in the middle is called the Great 0:29:40.760 --> 0:29:43.720 Australian Light sort of no pun intended. So we wanted 0:29:43.720 --> 0:29:46.080 to embed the building as much as possible whilst there 0:29:46.120 --> 0:29:48.560 are functional aspects that need to happen. Is that this 0:29:48.640 --> 0:29:51.920 is a landscape building. It's about being an Australia's great landscape. 0:29:52.080 --> 0:29:54.000 Now talking about a landscape, we are standing next to 0:29:54.080 --> 0:29:55.560 some beautiful stone. 0:29:55.360 --> 0:30:00.680 Yes, Central Coast quarries here, the tazos you'll see chosen 0:30:00.720 --> 0:30:02.680 they're from the Nepean River, so the colors here are 0:30:02.680 --> 0:30:05.240 actually from the local area. And then the idea again 0:30:05.280 --> 0:30:07.880 of the Cumberland forest we're standing underneath. So those elements 0:30:07.880 --> 0:30:09.320 are really sort of. 0:30:08.600 --> 0:30:11.480 The core palette. But hopefully what we'll see is the. 0:30:11.400 --> 0:30:14.520 Great Sway, the airline uniforms and the great colors of 0:30:14.560 --> 0:30:17.600 the multicultural people of Western Sydney coming through and actually 0:30:17.600 --> 0:30:18.840 adding that day to day. 0:30:18.680 --> 0:30:21.400 Life when you work at a project like this, is 0:30:21.480 --> 0:30:24.160 it all encompassing or do you juggle other projects and 0:30:24.480 --> 0:30:29.040 it is all encompassing. This was a true sort of 0:30:29.040 --> 0:30:29.880 passion of pleasure. 0:30:30.360 --> 0:30:33.000 Our partners, Zahara Did's, were in London, so we had 0:30:33.040 --> 0:30:35.440 two teams going between London and Sydney as well too, 0:30:35.680 --> 0:30:38.160 and we wanted that best of best of local, best 0:30:38.200 --> 0:30:38.920 of international. 0:30:38.920 --> 0:30:40.640 But it's an all encompassing thing. 0:30:40.800 --> 0:30:43.320 So days like today are amazing because it's sort of 0:30:43.360 --> 0:30:46.320 a sleepless night beforehand, you know, contemplating, you know. 0:30:46.280 --> 0:30:47.960 The sort of the great outcome that we all think 0:30:47.960 --> 0:30:49.640 it is. We're very proud of it. How does it 0:30:49.640 --> 0:30:51.440 compare to other major projects you've worked on. 0:30:51.720 --> 0:30:54.280 We're very lucky that we do public projects in Sydney. 0:30:54.280 --> 0:30:57.880 We've just finished a series of metro projects Sydney Football Stadium, 0:30:58.200 --> 0:30:59.840 so you know, we're lucky that we get to work 0:30:59.840 --> 0:31:02.880 on some of these sort of magnificent public buildings and public. 0:31:02.560 --> 0:31:04.680 Life is what we're interested in. So it's right right 0:31:04.760 --> 0:31:07.200 up there. And I actually commanded it to some people 0:31:07.200 --> 0:31:09.400 here earlier that much of this actually some of it 0:31:09.400 --> 0:31:11.040 does remind me of the metro stations, and I think 0:31:11.040 --> 0:31:14.280 are magnificent because they have a real airport, fresh clean 0:31:14.360 --> 0:31:15.000 feel about them. 0:31:15.240 --> 0:31:17.840 Yes, well, Victoria Cross is one of my baby's soft 0:31:17.840 --> 0:31:21.920 there's any similarity between children, maybe maybe that's no coincidence. 0:31:22.120 --> 0:31:24.080 David, congratulations, Thank you very much. 0:31:24.640 --> 0:31:26.840 You want to know what's happening in Sydney. 0:31:27.240 --> 0:31:31.000 Stay tuned to Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard on to. 0:31:31.240 --> 0:31:35.680 Gb Professor David Holme, who's the principal of Cox Architecture. 0:31:35.680 --> 0:31:38.560 He was the main architect behind the airport. Peter's got 0:31:38.560 --> 0:31:40.400 a good question on the text line, will there be 0:31:40.440 --> 0:31:43.160 a McDonald's at the new airport well while the terminal 0:31:43.200 --> 0:31:47.120 building is complete? Rest assured. I did work walk through 0:31:47.160 --> 0:31:49.600 the food court a little earlier. Now. I do have 0:31:49.640 --> 0:31:53.320 a policy whenever I travel, not that I'm scared of flying, 0:31:53.920 --> 0:31:56.400 but I make sure that I have McDonald's in every 0:31:56.440 --> 0:31:59.360 city that I go to. I have to have McDonald's 0:31:59.440 --> 0:32:02.200 in every single airport wherever I am around the world 0:32:02.440 --> 0:32:05.000 in my limited travels. So I did seek out the 0:32:05.080 --> 0:32:08.080 McDonald's today at the Western Cydny International Airport. It hasn't 0:32:08.120 --> 0:32:11.960 opened yet, but unreliably informed that it will be opening. 0:32:12.760 --> 0:32:14.880 It is three to four. The Mount's Care Care flight 0:32:14.960 --> 0:32:19.280 helicopter has helped those involved with a motorcycling car crash 0:32:19.280 --> 0:32:22.320 on the Northern Beaches at Belrose today specialist doctor and 0:32:22.400 --> 0:32:26.080 paramedics treat the young man who unfortunately was involved in 0:32:26.080 --> 0:32:28.920 this accident. He was then airlifted to the Royal north 0:32:28.920 --> 0:32:31.600 Shaw Hospital serious but stable condition. But it looks like 0:32:31.640 --> 0:32:33.800 he's going to be okay. One of the most popular 0:32:33.840 --> 0:32:37.560 breweries in the Inner West you might know it, Young Henry's, 0:32:37.720 --> 0:32:40.680 may be in some trouble. There's some fear that it 0:32:40.720 --> 0:32:42.520 may well be demolished. There is a plan for a 0:32:42.560 --> 0:32:46.600 six story apartment complex and Young Henry's, and that there've 0:32:46.640 --> 0:32:50.360 been brewing beers in a Newtown warehouse since about twenty twelve. 0:32:51.120 --> 0:32:53.640 There's some fear that if this is approved, this six 0:32:53.680 --> 0:32:57.000 story apartment complex, that Young Henry's would have to find 0:32:57.000 --> 0:32:59.480 another location. Now that they're pretty popular, aren't they, Young 0:32:59.520 --> 0:33:03.080 Young Henry people love that crafty is very popular these days. 0:33:03.240 --> 0:33:05.800 I'm sure they'll find another location, but there's some concern 0:33:05.880 --> 0:33:23.880 that they won't be able to brew at a Newtown anymore. Well. 0:33:24.000 --> 0:33:27.240 Katie Perry has just wrapped up her concert series in Sydney. 0:33:27.280 --> 0:33:30.480 She played again last night the Cutos Bank Arena. It's 0:33:30.560 --> 0:33:34.200 Sydney Olympic part the third concerts sellout concerts as well well. 0:33:34.280 --> 0:33:37.440 News today. Now, I don't usually indulge in gossip, but 0:33:37.680 --> 0:33:41.960 apparently it's very serious. Katie Perry and Orlando Brimm's relationship 0:33:42.120 --> 0:33:45.240 is on the rocks, so it's hot and cold. Now, 0:33:45.400 --> 0:33:46.880 I wonder whether this has anything to do with the 0:33:46.880 --> 0:33:48.560 stage invadive the other night. Now, that was a bloke 0:33:48.560 --> 0:33:51.240 by the name of Pajama Man. Now, from what I've 0:33:51.480 --> 0:33:53.840 been told, I'm not a massive Katie Perry fan, but 0:33:53.880 --> 0:33:56.160 I know people who are. Katie apparently took a bit 0:33:56.160 --> 0:33:58.880 of a lighting to Pajama Man. Quite impressive. I think 0:33:58.880 --> 0:34:02.479 he's a social media create of some sort. So I mean, 0:34:02.520 --> 0:34:04.840 I know Orlando Bloom is a Hollywood star at all. 0:34:05.680 --> 0:34:07.640 First start in The Lord of the Rings, what twenty 0:34:07.640 --> 0:34:10.600 five years ago, massive star, and they've got kids and 0:34:10.760 --> 0:34:13.560 they're very well. They were a loving couple. But the 0:34:13.640 --> 0:34:17.480 reports now out of Hollywood is apparently the relationship could 0:34:17.520 --> 0:34:19.440 be in a spot of bother. On the text line, 0:34:19.440 --> 0:34:21.040 if you'd like to send me a text message zero 0:34:21.120 --> 0:34:23.719 force zero eight seven three eight seven three. Gregg's making 0:34:23.760 --> 0:34:26.359 the point that Amazon Prime's Basic package, if you want 0:34:26.360 --> 0:34:29.320 to see the Cricket Tonight has actually increased in price. 0:34:29.360 --> 0:34:32.080 It was six ninety nine a month. They're now charging 0:34:32.200 --> 0:34:33.719 nine to ninety nine a month, which is a lot 0:34:33.800 --> 0:34:37.400 cheaper than say Foxdell, and you can you can end 0:34:37.440 --> 0:34:40.400 your subscription. I think after a month. Matt's making the point. 0:34:40.680 --> 0:34:43.320 Used to get Vight Supercars on Channel ten Channel seven, 0:34:43.680 --> 0:34:47.799 but now it's virtually all fox Ko exclusive, so you 0:34:47.880 --> 0:34:49.560 hardly see. I think it's only a couple of rounds 0:34:49.560 --> 0:34:52.400 per year on seven. Coming up next our Lucy Zelich. 0:34:55.680 --> 0:34:59.600 This is it now we've clinched on. 0:34:59.520 --> 0:34:59.920 To g. 0:35:01.600 --> 0:35:05.600 It is to Mainard broadcasting from the Western Sydney International Airport. 0:35:05.640 --> 0:35:10.120 Today the terminal has been officially unveiled. They've completed construction 0:35:10.680 --> 0:35:13.440 and it's quite magnificent. I've spent a fair bit of 0:35:13.440 --> 0:35:15.719 time in it. Now. I'm overlooking the terminal now from 0:35:15.719 --> 0:35:18.399 the outside, just near the runway. The runway is three 0:35:18.440 --> 0:35:22.160 point seven kilometers long. This precinct covers thirteen and a 0:35:22.239 --> 0:35:25.840 half football fields. The precinct is massive. Now, it's not 0:35:25.880 --> 0:35:28.480 the biggest terminal in the country. It's roughly the size 0:35:28.480 --> 0:35:31.520 of Adelaide Airport. But what this does have is capacity 0:35:31.560 --> 0:35:34.200 for the future. So there is the capacity for a 0:35:34.239 --> 0:35:38.040 second runway here, there's the capacity for a second terminal here. 0:35:38.600 --> 0:35:40.959 We'll hear about what Anthony Albernizi has had to say. 0:35:41.040 --> 0:35:43.400 He attended the unveiling today. But I just want to 0:35:43.480 --> 0:35:46.040 quickly cross to Mark in Laylor Park. If you see 0:35:46.080 --> 0:35:48.520 something happening in Sydney, certainly let me know about it. 0:35:48.640 --> 0:35:52.560 Text messages zero force zero eight seven three eight seven three. Mark, 0:35:52.760 --> 0:35:55.360 you've seen the CareFlight helicopter in your neighborhood. 0:35:56.239 --> 0:36:01.319 Yes, Clinton landa Darnie Johannan just off Johnson Anue in 0:36:01.320 --> 0:36:04.640 New seven Hills High and took off again and then 0:36:04.719 --> 0:36:10.520 briefly landed again in the baseball park just off Northcotte Road. 0:36:10.920 --> 0:36:13.240 Poll Air was in there also, and apparently some police 0:36:13.280 --> 0:36:16.960 cars my neighbors came screaming out of that area. 0:36:17.760 --> 0:36:20.840 So just to clarify that, So Mark, just to clarify 0:36:21.040 --> 0:36:23.239 it actually landed, took off again, but landed for a 0:36:23.239 --> 0:36:23.840 second time. 0:36:24.520 --> 0:36:27.680 Yeah, that's correct. From New seven Hills High the first 0:36:27.760 --> 0:36:31.359 time and then briefly in the baseball park just off 0:36:31.400 --> 0:36:32.279 Northcotte Road. 0:36:33.560 --> 0:36:35.799 Yeah, look, that's a little unusual. We'll speak to the 0:36:35.840 --> 0:36:37.960 police now and try to find out what's going on. 0:36:38.000 --> 0:36:39.520 Thank you for letting me know about that. Word on 0:36:39.560 --> 0:36:42.080 the street is thanks to temper, a great night's sleep 0:36:42.160 --> 0:36:45.120 night after night. The difference is temper. Matt is telling 0:36:45.160 --> 0:36:47.320 me as well. There is a road closed cow pasta 0:36:47.440 --> 0:36:52.320 road heading eastbound. Some dramas there just near a Densi Road. Okay, 0:36:52.400 --> 0:36:54.400 so is that around at Densi Park. There are some 0:36:54.480 --> 0:36:56.799 major delays there. We'll speak with Steve at the moment 0:36:56.840 --> 0:36:58.840 trying to find out what's happening there. If you do 0:36:58.920 --> 0:37:01.040 see something around Sydney, let me know. One three one 0:37:01.120 --> 0:37:03.320 eight seven three until six. 0:37:03.640 --> 0:37:06.920 This is Sydney now with Clinton Maynard on two GB 0:37:07.480 --> 0:37:08.080 Call now. 0:37:08.080 --> 0:37:09.879 One three one eight seven three. 0:37:10.719 --> 0:37:13.160 Well, the Prime Minister Anthony Abernezi was here at Western 0:37:13.160 --> 0:37:17.280 Sydney International Airport this morning and he conducted the official unveiling. 0:37:17.440 --> 0:37:20.280 I should point out the airport has not officially opened. 0:37:20.480 --> 0:37:24.400 Flights won't be departing and flying into this airport until 0:37:24.560 --> 0:37:27.959 late next year. Within four years, there'll be roughly two 0:37:28.080 --> 0:37:31.200 hundred a day, around twenty three thousand passengers, and there'll 0:37:31.239 --> 0:37:34.200 be a big focus on freight as well, because unlike Mascot, 0:37:34.280 --> 0:37:36.800 this is going to be a twenty four to seven airport. 0:37:37.400 --> 0:37:40.840 Anthony Abernesi said today this is symbolic in the confidence 0:37:40.880 --> 0:37:43.680 the nation has in Western Sydney and Western Sydney is 0:37:43.719 --> 0:37:47.480 the third biggest economy behind Central Sydney and Melbourne. 0:37:47.680 --> 0:37:52.279 For a long time, this great city has looked towards 0:37:52.600 --> 0:37:56.640 the harbor as if that is its center. What we 0:37:56.760 --> 0:38:00.400 know is that the center of population is here in 0:38:00.480 --> 0:38:04.360 Western Sydney. And what this airport will do not just 0:38:04.440 --> 0:38:08.560 a runway and a terminal, but the aratropolis which will 0:38:08.560 --> 0:38:12.920 grow around it with the Bradfield City, is to be 0:38:13.080 --> 0:38:17.360 a catalyst for economic activity and for Sydney to look out. 0:38:17.520 --> 0:38:18.279 Not just in. 0:38:20.440 --> 0:38:23.759 Now. As I look around the airport precinct, there's not 0:38:23.840 --> 0:38:26.879 a lot of population right here, but this is where 0:38:26.920 --> 0:38:29.920 the potential is for growth in Sydney. Bradfield is what 0:38:30.160 --> 0:38:32.600 the city he will be known as eventually. What is 0:38:32.680 --> 0:38:36.000 crucial with the transport links to the airport, So the 0:38:36.040 --> 0:38:39.920 metro line will not open next year when the flights 0:38:40.040 --> 0:38:42.960 are flying, that's probably another two years away, and it 0:38:43.000 --> 0:38:44.880 should be pointed out the Metro is not going to 0:38:44.920 --> 0:38:47.600 run directly to the airport now, which I think is 0:38:47.800 --> 0:38:49.840 a mistake by the Men's government and the federal compan's 0:38:49.840 --> 0:38:52.120 involved with funding the Metro as well. The Metro is 0:38:52.160 --> 0:38:53.920 going to go from here, and I can see the 0:38:53.960 --> 0:38:56.719 crane to the moment. They're constructing the station here to 0:38:56.800 --> 0:39:00.000 S Mary's train station. But s Mari's train station is 0:39:00.080 --> 0:39:04.280 you know, is not a Metro. That's a heavy rail station, 0:39:04.880 --> 0:39:06.960 and I think there should be a direct Metro line 0:39:07.000 --> 0:39:11.640 here by road. The M twelve motorway will operate between 0:39:11.680 --> 0:39:14.880 them seven and this airport. The road's pretty much completed. 0:39:14.880 --> 0:39:17.279 They're working on the interchange at the moment, so you'll 0:39:17.280 --> 0:39:19.279 see a lot of rope works here that should be 0:39:19.320 --> 0:39:23.160 complete not too long after the airport officially opens. For 0:39:23.200 --> 0:39:24.799 a lot of Sydney side, it's going to take a 0:39:24.800 --> 0:39:26.640 long time to get here. It will depend where you live. 0:39:26.960 --> 0:39:29.840 What is going to be crucial is public transport as well. 0:39:30.239 --> 0:39:32.920 This airport has been on the agenda, believe it or not, 0:39:33.360 --> 0:39:37.839 since the nineteen forties. Badriz Creek was first identified as 0:39:37.880 --> 0:39:41.120 the potential location for a second airport. Yes back in 0:39:41.160 --> 0:39:44.239 the nineteen forties, and this was a big issue right 0:39:44.320 --> 0:39:50.040 throughout the nineteen eighties and Albo has conceded is still 0:39:50.120 --> 0:39:51.640 a very controversial location. 0:39:52.040 --> 0:39:58.319 This airport has not been uncontroversial over the years. I 0:39:58.480 --> 0:40:03.359 spoke about the ne for this airport at this site in. 0:40:03.360 --> 0:40:05.680 My first speech in ninety six. 0:40:06.560 --> 0:40:07.960 And the truth is. 0:40:07.760 --> 0:40:13.680 That a sod was turned on this airport in Bob 0:40:13.719 --> 0:40:18.160 Hawk's government a long time ago. It was then disrupted 0:40:18.640 --> 0:40:22.960 with the change of government in nine ninety six and 0:40:23.000 --> 0:40:27.480 then took some time to turn around the debate. 0:40:29.160 --> 0:40:32.359 That's right. The sod was actually turned in the very 0:40:32.400 --> 0:40:36.120 early nineteen nineties, towards the end of Bob Hawk being 0:40:36.160 --> 0:40:39.720 the Prime minister. But it was actually a coalition government 0:40:39.760 --> 0:40:42.520 that hit the go button in the end about fifteen 0:40:42.640 --> 0:40:45.960 years ago. Anthony Abernezi has made it very clear that 0:40:46.040 --> 0:40:48.120 he wants to be the man who's cutting the ribbon. 0:40:48.520 --> 0:40:50.319 In the lead up to May three. 0:40:50.400 --> 0:40:53.360 It was an incentive for my re election, not the 0:40:53.400 --> 0:40:57.200 only one, it must be said, but an incentive that 0:40:57.320 --> 0:41:01.080 I thought, how good would it be that something that 0:41:01.440 --> 0:41:04.320 was very much a passion of mine and which people 0:41:04.400 --> 0:41:11.760 dismissed as a crazy idea that would never come to fruition, 0:41:12.719 --> 0:41:15.000 that I would get to open it as Prime minister. 0:41:15.640 --> 0:41:20.440 So Minister, you're no chance of the opening going forward 0:41:20.520 --> 0:41:26.680 with respect the CEO, you're less chance I'll be back 0:41:26.719 --> 0:41:29.920 here and I want a bloody big plark. 0:41:31.239 --> 0:41:33.719 The Prime Minister yes that opening will be at some 0:41:33.800 --> 0:41:36.200 point next year. Dates still to be confirmed. And as 0:41:36.200 --> 0:41:39.480 the PM says, he wants a bloody big plark. 0:41:39.400 --> 0:41:42.480 If it's happening in Sydney, you'll hear it on Sydney 0:41:42.520 --> 0:41:44.480 Now with Clinton on. 0:41:44.640 --> 0:41:48.480 T GB thirteen past. Four figures have been released today 0:41:48.640 --> 0:41:51.719 that shows the number of people waiting for elective surgery, 0:41:52.080 --> 0:41:54.880 or as the Health miss Rhyme Park calls it. He 0:41:54.920 --> 0:41:59.040 calls it planned surgery because unless it's cosmetic surgery, most 0:41:59.080 --> 0:42:02.719 surgery is not something actually want. It's planned you need it. 0:42:03.120 --> 0:42:05.560 But the number of people waiting has now hit a 0:42:05.600 --> 0:42:08.879 near peak. It's almost as many as during COVID when 0:42:08.880 --> 0:42:12.560 elective surgery was paused one hundred thousand, six hundred and 0:42:12.640 --> 0:42:16.360 seventy eight. The concern for the government, and the bigger 0:42:16.400 --> 0:42:18.520 concern is for you if you're actually on an elective 0:42:18.520 --> 0:42:21.359 surgery waiting list. Is the number of people who are 0:42:21.360 --> 0:42:25.160 waiting longer than recommended. It is now eighty five hundred 0:42:25.520 --> 0:42:29.000 and eighty seven and that's an increase. Now the Men's 0:42:29.040 --> 0:42:30.759 government when they came to power that they had a 0:42:30.800 --> 0:42:35.759 program to put more resources into reducing this number, and 0:42:35.800 --> 0:42:38.439 today they've announced they'll invest another twenty three million dollars. 0:42:38.480 --> 0:42:40.600 Well they need to because there's still an enormous amount 0:42:40.640 --> 0:42:44.879 of pressure. Admission to emergency department has actually fallen three 0:42:44.920 --> 0:42:47.920 point one percent on the same period are you earlier, 0:42:47.960 --> 0:42:50.879 So that's actually slightly encouraging. Mind you, we're now heading 0:42:50.920 --> 0:42:53.120 into the winter period when most of the pressure is 0:42:53.120 --> 0:42:56.319 actually experienced in emergency. Matt Daily is the new South 0:42:56.360 --> 0:42:58.520 Wales Health Deputy Secretary and joins us thank you for 0:42:58.560 --> 0:42:59.280 your time, Matt. 0:43:00.040 --> 0:43:00.960 Yeah, gooday. Clinton. 0:43:02.280 --> 0:43:05.319 Look that these figures as the Health mister has acknowledged 0:43:05.360 --> 0:43:07.560 today for elective surgery and not great. 0:43:09.080 --> 0:43:13.000 Oh no they're not. And it's certainly not where where 0:43:13.040 --> 0:43:15.920 we in the Ministry of Health and certainly the government 0:43:16.520 --> 0:43:20.000 and the Minister right Park want to see them. But 0:43:20.080 --> 0:43:21.879 I think you really hit the nail on the head 0:43:21.920 --> 0:43:24.440 with that introduction there, Clinton, is that and that is 0:43:25.000 --> 0:43:27.720 what really matters, is not whether we have one hundred 0:43:27.760 --> 0:43:32.479 thousand or ninety thousand patients scheduled to be treated, it's 0:43:32.520 --> 0:43:35.760 those who are breaching the clinically recommended time, and that's 0:43:35.800 --> 0:43:39.440 where there's the potential and the risk for less than 0:43:39.520 --> 0:43:43.040 ideal outcome. So that's why the focus and the report 0:43:43.120 --> 0:43:46.120 released today from the Bureau of Health Information that's an 0:43:46.120 --> 0:43:51.480 independent reporting body to health, has highlighted that at the 0:43:51.600 --> 0:43:55.680 end of that quarter, the March quarter, that we've grown 0:43:55.760 --> 0:43:59.920 to about seven thousand cases that have breached their recommended 0:44:00.760 --> 0:44:04.160 time to be treated, and that's what government has responded 0:44:04.239 --> 0:44:07.759 to and that's what we're working right across the state 0:44:07.800 --> 0:44:08.560 to address. 0:44:09.200 --> 0:44:11.160 So year on year, it's an increase of one hundred 0:44:11.160 --> 0:44:13.960 and fifty one percent. It was one hundred and seventy 0:44:13.960 --> 0:44:16.879 patients year ago for the first quarter up now five 0:44:17.120 --> 0:44:19.800 and eighty seven. What is the key driver of that increase? 0:44:21.320 --> 0:44:24.680 Unfortunately, like most things in Hellscalene, it's never one thing. 0:44:25.040 --> 0:44:27.000 If it was only one thing, it'll be a lot easier. 0:44:27.000 --> 0:44:30.520 It a fix so that the multitude issues, not least 0:44:30.520 --> 0:44:34.760 of which is a growth in surgical numbers of seventy 0:44:34.880 --> 0:44:37.040 seven point seven point five percent, so seven and a 0:44:37.080 --> 0:44:40.520 half percent year on year. We've seen that demand grow 0:44:41.200 --> 0:44:44.560 and it's also just through the incremental aging of the population. 0:44:45.480 --> 0:44:50.120 There are seasonality issues that have exacerbated as well. But 0:44:50.200 --> 0:44:53.920 I think the most pleasing part is that the early 0:44:54.000 --> 0:44:57.680 data is actually indicating withouts trending down now. But you know, 0:44:57.719 --> 0:45:00.200 we've we've got quite a few months to go before 0:45:00.280 --> 0:45:03.360 we actually get it down to those pre pandemic levels 0:45:03.360 --> 0:45:06.319 that we thought. 0:45:06.440 --> 0:45:11.680 Because as I mentioned when I mentioned just before that 0:45:12.719 --> 0:45:15.920 when Ryan Park became Health Minister, he created what was 0:45:15.920 --> 0:45:19.840 called the Surgical Care task Force. There was specifically given 0:45:19.880 --> 0:45:22.280 the job of addressing this issue. And that task force 0:45:22.560 --> 0:45:24.799 Matt to my knowledge, is still in existence. Has something 0:45:24.840 --> 0:45:25.640 gone wrong with it? 0:45:27.239 --> 0:45:30.600 No, the task force actually set a really clear guidance 0:45:30.640 --> 0:45:33.360 of the system that the system has picked up and 0:45:33.440 --> 0:45:36.440 carried forward with many of the members of that task 0:45:36.480 --> 0:45:41.440 force continue in that role. I co share that task 0:45:41.480 --> 0:45:45.600 force with pros and now Merit, who's an eminent surgeon, 0:45:46.480 --> 0:45:51.920 and it's about carrying that work on and where we've 0:45:52.640 --> 0:45:55.480 apart from what's hit us this year with that growth 0:45:56.000 --> 0:46:02.319 in planned surgery presentations and numbers, it's really been the 0:46:02.360 --> 0:46:06.319 government responding as they did with one hundred and eighty 0:46:06.360 --> 0:46:10.880 million dollars announced late last year. That money now is 0:46:10.920 --> 0:46:14.400 flowing right through the system and we're seeing that about 0:46:14.440 --> 0:46:17.600 actually turning those figures around. But it's a little bit 0:46:17.680 --> 0:46:21.680 like steering the Queen Mary. You know, once your set 0:46:21.719 --> 0:46:24.879 are in place, then there's no stopping it. And I'm 0:46:24.920 --> 0:46:28.160 really confident working with the system that we've got it 0:46:28.280 --> 0:46:30.880 actually in inner groove to actually get those numbers to 0:46:30.920 --> 0:46:31.640 where they should be. 0:46:32.480 --> 0:46:34.560 So the Health Minister today is announced be an extra 0:46:34.600 --> 0:46:36.840 twenty three million dollars of funding the budgets about to 0:46:36.840 --> 0:46:40.759 be handed down to reduce the waiting times. So what 0:46:40.880 --> 0:46:45.200 is actually twenty three million dollars effectively buy you, Well, it's. 0:46:45.040 --> 0:46:47.000 The twenty three million on top of one hundred and 0:46:47.000 --> 0:46:50.359 eighty million. So we're talking really about a package that 0:46:50.400 --> 0:46:52.720 will flow through this year and into the new year 0:46:53.160 --> 0:46:56.800 in a new financial year of two hundred million dollars 0:46:57.080 --> 0:46:58.360 that will address. 0:46:58.480 --> 0:47:02.160 The social number. Does that pay for instance, we know 0:47:02.360 --> 0:47:04.319 we're shorter nurses and they've got their own industrial to 0:47:04.320 --> 0:47:07.000 battle moment, but does that paper nurses over time so 0:47:07.040 --> 0:47:08.920 you can fit in more elective surgeries? 0:47:09.640 --> 0:47:09.879 Yeah? 0:47:10.120 --> 0:47:14.760 Again, the solution a multitude of approaches and every hospital 0:47:14.800 --> 0:47:18.440 has different demographics to do it sometimes and because of 0:47:18.480 --> 0:47:20.560 the certainty of this money that we've now gone in 0:47:20.600 --> 0:47:23.400 the system for the next next one to two years. 0:47:23.800 --> 0:47:27.440 This will enable hospital general managers and directors of nursing 0:47:27.480 --> 0:47:31.360 to actually recruit perioperative nursing staff, recruit in the point 0:47:31.400 --> 0:47:35.400 additional surgeons or anestus where a short term funding that 0:47:35.520 --> 0:47:39.719 had been provided in past in past years really just 0:47:39.800 --> 0:47:43.799 sees a saw tooth effect of ramping up activity and 0:47:43.840 --> 0:47:46.719 then ramping it down. Whereas this is a constant flow 0:47:46.800 --> 0:47:49.200 of money now where people can plan. 0:47:49.040 --> 0:47:49.759 And deliver it. 0:47:50.040 --> 0:47:53.200 At most importantly that the tax barony South Wales at 0:47:53.200 --> 0:47:57.560 the most efficient price, which is not through premium labor 0:47:57.560 --> 0:47:58.000 and the like. 0:47:58.480 --> 0:48:01.719 Yep, hopefully it workss of your time, Matte, no please 0:48:03.160 --> 0:48:05.520 Matt Dailey who's the new South Wales Health Deputy Secretary. 0:48:05.520 --> 0:48:08.080 He co chairs that task force that's trying to sort 0:48:08.080 --> 0:48:10.200 out this problem. Look, you know, when it comes down 0:48:10.200 --> 0:48:12.760 to it, When it comes down to it for you, 0:48:12.760 --> 0:48:15.080 you probably don't care about these sheer numbers, the fact 0:48:15.080 --> 0:48:16.839 there's eight and a half thousand people are over due 0:48:16.920 --> 0:48:18.960 for their surgery. You care about it if it's you 0:48:19.760 --> 0:48:23.000 or it's your loved ones. Well you tell me, are 0:48:23.000 --> 0:48:24.680 you on one of these waiting lists? How long have 0:48:24.760 --> 0:48:26.799 you been waiting for the surgery that you need, not 0:48:26.840 --> 0:48:29.879 the surgery you want, the surgery that you actually need. 0:48:29.920 --> 0:48:31.319 How long do you have to wait? Let me know 0:48:31.600 --> 0:48:34.120 one three, one eight seven to three. Just an update 0:48:34.200 --> 0:48:37.320 on the CareFlight helicopter, the Mountain's care Care Flight helicopter 0:48:37.360 --> 0:48:40.279 that landed in Layla Park. It actually landed twice. Thanks 0:48:40.320 --> 0:48:42.480 for letting us know about that. We've just spoken with 0:48:42.560 --> 0:48:44.960 New South Wales Ambulance off air. We are told it 0:48:44.960 --> 0:48:48.640 relates to a mental health issue. That's why the helicopter 0:48:48.719 --> 0:48:51.800 landed in Laylor Park. Lucy Zilich coming up on the program. 0:48:51.880 --> 0:48:55.320 She has her own take on the trad wife trend. 0:48:55.719 --> 0:48:59.040 I must admit I haven't come across the trad wife trend. 0:48:59.040 --> 0:49:01.160 We're going to talk to Lucy about that. One three, 0:49:01.239 --> 0:49:03.160 one eight seven three is our number. Shall take your 0:49:03.200 --> 0:49:05.040 cause as well in the next half hour of the program. 0:49:05.200 --> 0:49:07.560 Police are still speaking with a twelve year old boy 0:49:08.400 --> 0:49:12.080 following a fatal stabbing in Broken Hill last week. It 0:49:12.120 --> 0:49:14.520 was last Thursday. Emergency services were called to a home 0:49:14.560 --> 0:49:16.400 in Broken Hill in Duff Street very late at night. 0:49:16.400 --> 0:49:19.440 It was just before midnight. They arrived. They found a 0:49:19.480 --> 0:49:22.640 thirty six year old man had been stabbed Now, paramedics 0:49:22.680 --> 0:49:25.319 were on the scene fairly quickly in Broken Hill and 0:49:25.360 --> 0:49:27.160 they attended to the man, but he couldn't be revived, 0:49:27.160 --> 0:49:29.680 He couldn't be safety. He died at the scene. Well, 0:49:29.719 --> 0:49:33.360 police have been investigating since last Thursday. They've now confirmed 0:49:33.360 --> 0:49:36.680 to us today the twelve year old boy is assisting 0:49:36.719 --> 0:49:39.920 them with their inquiries. Now I should point out that 0:49:39.960 --> 0:49:43.439 twelve year old has not been charged and police say 0:49:43.560 --> 0:49:46.440 that legal advice is still being sought in relation to 0:49:46.480 --> 0:49:49.680 this matter. The exact detail is actually very unclear in 0:49:49.719 --> 0:49:51.960 this matter, but what police have confirmed to us is 0:49:52.280 --> 0:49:59.200 they are speaking with a twelve year old boy. We 0:49:59.200 --> 0:50:02.440 were talking about streaming services a little earlier and sport, 0:50:02.960 --> 0:50:07.760 and for instance, tonight's ICC Championship decider between South Africa Australia, 0:50:07.800 --> 0:50:11.359 being played in London, begins tonight at seven thirty prime time, 0:50:11.600 --> 0:50:13.880 but many Aussies won't see it because they don't subscribe 0:50:13.880 --> 0:50:16.880 to Amazon Prime. And I think sporting organizations need to 0:50:16.880 --> 0:50:19.880 be really careful when they're selling their rights and understand 0:50:19.880 --> 0:50:21.399 they've got to make a lot of money to pay 0:50:21.520 --> 0:50:24.480 the players. They need to be careful that they don't 0:50:24.480 --> 0:50:27.640 lose fans as a result. Grants making the point it 0:50:27.680 --> 0:50:29.680 was this morning that was ridiculous. I woke up at 0:50:29.719 --> 0:50:32.239 four fifteen in the morning to watch the Soccer wo's 0:50:32.320 --> 0:50:34.960 last World Cup qualifier game against Saudi Arabia. I did 0:50:35.000 --> 0:50:38.120 to find out it was on paramount plus not ten play. 0:50:38.680 --> 0:50:41.279 So it was on ten for the Japanese game, which 0:50:41.320 --> 0:50:44.440 was last week. The national soccer team they just made 0:50:44.440 --> 0:50:47.040 the sixth straight World Cup, which is an amazing achievement 0:50:47.040 --> 0:50:49.560 for the soccer US not on free to wear now 0:50:49.560 --> 0:50:51.600 the reason for that would be and this would be 0:50:51.640 --> 0:50:54.320 the way the eighty siphoning laws work. The match against 0:50:54.400 --> 0:50:57.240 Japan last week was in Perth. That was in Perth, 0:50:57.719 --> 0:51:00.799 so because it was on Australian soil it had to 0:51:00.800 --> 0:51:03.080 be shown on free to wear. But because the match 0:51:03.080 --> 0:51:06.880 against Saudi Arabia was overseas, didn't have to be on 0:51:06.920 --> 0:51:11.160 free to wear and as a result, soccer they miss out. 0:51:11.480 --> 0:51:13.920 They miss out. I am broadcasting live from the Western 0:51:13.960 --> 0:51:17.200 Sydney International Airport. Now Jetstar will be one of the 0:51:17.200 --> 0:51:19.719 carriers that operates from here from next year. So the 0:51:19.719 --> 0:51:24.200 first three carriers Cortas, Jetstar, Singapore Airlines and then Air 0:51:24.239 --> 0:51:26.840 New Zealand will come on board in twenty twenty seven, 0:51:27.000 --> 0:51:28.439 and I'll speak with the boss of Air New Zealand 0:51:28.480 --> 0:51:30.719 in the next hour of the program. But Cortuss today 0:51:30.800 --> 0:51:33.560 confirm that it's closing down the Singapore based operations of 0:51:33.640 --> 0:51:37.960 Jetstar so Jetstar Asia. Effectively, they haven't been able to 0:51:38.080 --> 0:51:41.759 compete with other low cost airlines across Southeast Asia. They 0:51:41.760 --> 0:51:45.600 have been flying sixteen routes across the region, but they've 0:51:45.640 --> 0:51:48.840 been losing money. They posted a statutory loss of thirty 0:51:48.840 --> 0:51:52.560 five million dollars and it means that there'll actually be 0:51:52.600 --> 0:51:56.759 planes coming back to our fleet. Vanessa Hudson, who's the 0:51:56.800 --> 0:52:00.560 Quantus CEO, has confirmed the jobs will go, but they 0:52:00.600 --> 0:52:03.640 will be jobs based in Singapore. Five hundred positions in 0:52:03.680 --> 0:52:07.200 Singapore will go, but one hundred jobs will be created here, 0:52:07.440 --> 0:52:10.320 which is some good news to the Australian aviation industry. 0:52:10.520 --> 0:52:11.640 It's twenty eight past four. 0:52:12.560 --> 0:52:16.000 An easy update, upgrade and save with Winston with a wine, 0:52:16.280 --> 0:52:19.800 get twenty five percent of motorized blinds, curtains and awnings. 0:52:19.920 --> 0:52:23.520 Book now at Winston dot com dot aus. 0:52:26.520 --> 0:52:28.080 And Katie Fuller has all the latest. 0:52:28.600 --> 0:52:34.200 Good Afternoon, Clinton, physiotherapists, dietitians and podiatrists will have NDIS 0:52:34.200 --> 0:52:37.200 payments cut in the next financial year in a bid 0:52:37.239 --> 0:52:41.560 to bring down costs. The NDIS agency says some providers 0:52:41.600 --> 0:52:45.360 have been charging significantly more than the market rate. A 0:52:45.440 --> 0:52:48.560 car has gone up in flames in Sydney's West passes 0:52:48.640 --> 0:52:51.720 By helped remove the driver and passenger from the vehicle 0:52:51.760 --> 0:52:55.600 at Bidwell. A man has been fined four thousand dollars 0:52:55.680 --> 0:52:58.920 after admitting to really stupid behavior when he climbed a 0:52:59.040 --> 0:53:03.200 cruise ship row in Sydney Harbor. George Frederick Carr pleaded 0:53:03.200 --> 0:53:06.800 guilty to three offenses over what he called a stunt. 0:53:06.920 --> 0:53:10.200 Its circular key and three days of Morning has been 0:53:10.239 --> 0:53:13.480 declared in Austria after ten people were killed in a 0:53:13.520 --> 0:53:17.719 school shooting in Sport. Bulldog's winger Jacob Carraz has been 0:53:17.760 --> 0:53:20.480 called into the New South Wales Blues camp for tomorrow's 0:53:20.520 --> 0:53:24.440 training session. Brian to is battling a hamstring Nigel, putting 0:53:24.520 --> 0:53:27.520 him in doubt for next week's second State of Origin clash. 0:53:27.760 --> 0:53:29.600 Clinton More News at five. 0:53:30.040 --> 0:53:33.000 Think Katie, fifteen degrees in the coast, also fifteen degrees 0:53:33.040 --> 0:53:36.480 here at the Sydney Western Sydney International Airport. Dave's making 0:53:36.520 --> 0:53:39.880 the point because Albow when he inspected the airport this morning, 0:53:39.880 --> 0:53:42.360 made it very clear that he wants to be one 0:53:42.400 --> 0:53:45.239 to cut the ribbon, he said, and to quote him, 0:53:45.560 --> 0:53:49.560 there'll be a bloody big plaque, let's say, Anthony Albelizi, 0:53:50.680 --> 0:53:53.040 David says, I was actually led to believe that the 0:53:53.040 --> 0:53:56.360 granddaughter of Nancy bird Walton was going to open the 0:53:56.360 --> 0:53:59.000 new airport. Now we are referring to the airport today 0:53:59.400 --> 0:54:01.920 of the Western Sydney International Airport, but it will be 0:54:02.000 --> 0:54:05.200 the Nancy bird Walton Airport and officially that will be 0:54:05.239 --> 0:54:08.760 the title to be used once it's open. Now we'll 0:54:08.840 --> 0:54:11.279 check that out, but that would make complete sense. Now 0:54:11.320 --> 0:54:13.920 I'm sure Anthony Albernezi will be at the ceremony, but 0:54:13.960 --> 0:54:17.680 it would make complete sense for Nancy bird Walton's granddaughter, 0:54:18.160 --> 0:54:21.400 as the pioneering female aviator, that she would be the 0:54:21.440 --> 0:54:23.160 one to cut the ribbon. 0:54:24.520 --> 0:54:30.440 On Sydney. Now you can't handle the truth. The straighttion to. 0:54:33.400 --> 0:54:36.480 Lucy's elich is my straight shooter for a Wednesday afternoon 0:54:36.520 --> 0:54:39.200 back in our Piemont studios. But Lucy, as a resident 0:54:39.239 --> 0:54:42.840 of the Hills District, this location of the Western Sydney 0:54:42.840 --> 0:54:45.400 International airport. This is for people in the hills. This 0:54:45.520 --> 0:54:48.120 may prove to be a great location for the international airport. 0:54:48.360 --> 0:54:50.319 I think it'd be fantastic, to be honest. Do you 0:54:50.320 --> 0:54:53.120 think about the infrastructure in our city? And good afternoon 0:54:53.160 --> 0:54:55.160 to Clinton and all of our listeners, by the way, 0:54:55.160 --> 0:54:57.400 thanks for having me as usual every week. But you 0:54:57.440 --> 0:54:59.880 think about the infrastructure of our city and how congested 0:55:00.040 --> 0:55:01.799 it is. I mean to get out of here, out 0:55:01.800 --> 0:55:04.680 of Piermont where we are here at two gben Now 0:55:04.719 --> 0:55:08.880 Studios at a five o'clock of any afternoon during the 0:55:08.920 --> 0:55:12.840 week Monday to Friday, it's absolute chaos and sheer bedlam 0:55:12.920 --> 0:55:15.600 to make your way over to the airport, say for example, 0:55:15.760 --> 0:55:19.640 through those particular times. It's so challenging and you have 0:55:19.719 --> 0:55:22.640 to plan so far ahead. So I think that something 0:55:22.719 --> 0:55:25.480 like this would actually be so beneficial to the community out. 0:55:25.360 --> 0:55:26.320 In the West. 0:55:26.520 --> 0:55:28.480 I think it certainly will be long term. I wouldn't 0:55:28.520 --> 0:55:31.520 be surprised if it's a slow start, particularly for passengers. 0:55:31.600 --> 0:55:33.600 I think cargo will be a really big feature in 0:55:33.640 --> 0:55:35.320 the early years, because this is a twenty four to 0:55:35.400 --> 0:55:39.640 seven operation. Unlike Mascot and Look, I traveled from the 0:55:39.680 --> 0:55:42.680 South this morning. I used the five them seven before 0:55:42.719 --> 0:55:44.880 moving on to Elizabeth Drive to get here, and the 0:55:45.080 --> 0:55:47.120 M seven was a bit of a nightmare this morning 0:55:47.160 --> 0:55:51.719 because of roadworks. But once once the transport infrastructure is 0:55:51.760 --> 0:55:53.799 working properly, I think it'll be okay by the car. 0:55:53.880 --> 0:55:55.120 But what I think they're going to need to do, 0:55:55.440 --> 0:55:57.480 and the pressure should be on the Men's government, but 0:55:57.520 --> 0:56:00.720 also the Albanezi government is for a direct me tro line. 0:56:00.840 --> 0:56:05.120 It's great the metro will run between here and some Mary's, 0:56:05.200 --> 0:56:07.000 but it means that you need to use the heavy 0:56:07.080 --> 0:56:09.320 rail to some Mariys, which is going to be difficult 0:56:09.360 --> 0:56:10.640 and it'll put a lot of people off. So I 0:56:10.640 --> 0:56:12.200 think we needed erect metro route here. 0:56:12.440 --> 0:56:13.080 I think so too. 0:56:13.239 --> 0:56:14.840 And again it just goes back to that point that 0:56:14.880 --> 0:56:17.600 I've made. The infrastructure in this city is not designed 0:56:17.640 --> 0:56:20.320 to really meet the demands and the needs of the 0:56:20.360 --> 0:56:22.440 population that we have here in Sydney. And I mean 0:56:22.680 --> 0:56:25.080 we're talking about a housing crisis as well. We've got 0:56:25.080 --> 0:56:28.000 people that require more homes. We're in a situation where 0:56:28.000 --> 0:56:30.520 you've got politicians like clar O'Neil coming out and declaring 0:56:30.520 --> 0:56:32.719 themselves as a nimby or an I had to get 0:56:32.719 --> 0:56:35.560 my head around all of these acronyms as well. I 0:56:35.640 --> 0:56:38.120 was like, what's a nimby not in my backyard? All 0:56:38.120 --> 0:56:41.160 this kind of stuff. Yeah, so we absolutely need to 0:56:41.200 --> 0:56:44.239 think of ways to mobilize ourselves and to meet the 0:56:44.280 --> 0:56:47.840 demands of the population, but to also allow ourselves to 0:56:47.880 --> 0:56:50.000 live in a city that is fully functional, that is 0:56:50.040 --> 0:56:52.920 not a disaster. And not only that, not also the 0:56:52.960 --> 0:56:55.279 most expensive city in the world too. So there are 0:56:55.280 --> 0:56:58.480 so many issues beyond the metro that also need addressing. 0:56:59.280 --> 0:57:01.279 Now, Greta Thun has been in the news over the 0:57:01.280 --> 0:57:03.440 past couple of days and with her visit to the 0:57:03.440 --> 0:57:06.120 Middle East, and I was intrigued. So I checked that 0:57:06.280 --> 0:57:09.239 excellent resource known as Wikipedia for a bit of background 0:57:09.280 --> 0:57:12.120 on Greta and I was shocked. I didn't realize this. 0:57:12.280 --> 0:57:14.399 I thought she was a kid. She's twenty two, she's 0:57:14.400 --> 0:57:16.840 twenty one books, actually she is an adult. 0:57:16.520 --> 0:57:19.200 Now, she's twenty two now. But you know what, and 0:57:19.240 --> 0:57:21.440 I think this is the one thing that when you 0:57:21.520 --> 0:57:25.160 hear this young girl's name, it triggers such a visceral reaction. 0:57:25.320 --> 0:57:25.720 Clinton. 0:57:26.160 --> 0:57:28.439 I mean, just speaking to people in the office earlier today, 0:57:28.440 --> 0:57:32.400 they're like, oh god, Greta, you know and to be honest, 0:57:32.520 --> 0:57:36.680 a lot of us have actually, at her expense, really 0:57:36.680 --> 0:57:40.160 had a good giggle and chuckle at her extremism, at 0:57:40.160 --> 0:57:43.640 her alarmism around the climate and all of these situations 0:57:43.640 --> 0:57:46.360 that she finds herself in, particularly the latest one with 0:57:46.440 --> 0:57:50.520 her deciding to board this boat, the Meedleine, and try 0:57:50.560 --> 0:57:52.880 and save what's going on in the Middle East and 0:57:52.920 --> 0:57:58.080 deliver this aid to the Gaza strip there. As admirable 0:57:58.120 --> 0:58:00.439 as all of that is, once you actually start digging 0:58:00.520 --> 0:58:03.760 into the history of Greta and you recognize and this 0:58:03.880 --> 0:58:06.080 isn't widely known, I know that most people kind of 0:58:06.080 --> 0:58:08.480 have this surface level view that you know, they understand 0:58:08.560 --> 0:58:11.240 that she's an autistic child, but she was also somebody 0:58:11.560 --> 0:58:15.080 that was diagnosed formally with obsessive compulsive disorder. So when 0:58:15.120 --> 0:58:17.840 she was eleven years old going through school, she was 0:58:17.880 --> 0:58:20.160 this bright and happy young girl. She loved to play piano, 0:58:20.520 --> 0:58:23.680 she was very chatty, she loved to learn, like everybody 0:58:23.760 --> 0:58:26.680 else at school at those times. But she was shown 0:58:26.680 --> 0:58:30.360 a video on climate change at school and it created 0:58:30.880 --> 0:58:33.720 a really catastrophic chain of events after that for her 0:58:33.800 --> 0:58:36.400 because it affected her in such a way that whilst 0:58:36.400 --> 0:58:39.320 the other students were able to compartmentalize it. She wasn't, 0:58:39.600 --> 0:58:42.400 so she started losing sleepover it. She was crying, Her 0:58:42.440 --> 0:58:45.160 mother was constant, father were constantly getting phone calls from 0:58:45.160 --> 0:58:47.600 the school saying that something wasn't right with her. She 0:58:47.760 --> 0:58:50.880 started starving herself. Her parents said that it took her 0:58:50.920 --> 0:58:54.080 at least two to three sometimes four hours just to 0:58:54.080 --> 0:58:56.800 be able to digest a few pieces of nyoki, and 0:58:56.880 --> 0:58:59.680 she ended up in a state where because of her 0:58:59.720 --> 0:59:04.560 starfation levels, that she actually had terrible blood pressure, and 0:59:04.800 --> 0:59:09.000 it indicated that her blood pulse levels also was showing 0:59:09.040 --> 0:59:11.760 that she was in starvation mode. So this was a 0:59:11.800 --> 0:59:14.560 young girl who was deeply affected by all of this. 0:59:15.240 --> 0:59:18.080 And when you actually look at the photos of her 0:59:19.080 --> 0:59:22.840 sitting there and being given these sandwiches by the Israeli 0:59:22.880 --> 0:59:27.760 defense forces, she looks like this young, slight, petite girl 0:59:27.800 --> 0:59:30.240 with her little bob and her fringe, that's wearing a 0:59:30.320 --> 0:59:33.240 hat that looks like it's a frog with some eyes 0:59:33.280 --> 0:59:35.480 and a smiley face on it, and you are reminded 0:59:35.480 --> 0:59:37.560 of the fact that this is just a young girl 0:59:38.240 --> 0:59:41.680 that really was given a bum steer. Let's be honest 0:59:41.680 --> 0:59:43.439 in all of this, right, and I know that we're 0:59:43.480 --> 0:59:46.160 so reticent as a society to be judgmental when it 0:59:46.160 --> 0:59:49.600 comes to parenting, But God, forgive me. I do look 0:59:49.640 --> 0:59:52.600 at her parents and I think, why did you allow 0:59:52.680 --> 0:59:53.400 this to happen? 0:59:53.520 --> 0:59:54.200 Why did you. 0:59:54.240 --> 0:59:57.600 Encourage a child that is both autistic and has obsessive 0:59:57.600 --> 1:00:01.760 compulsive disorder to fixate on this belief that the world 1:00:01.880 --> 1:00:05.000 was going to explode and to affirm that for her. 1:00:05.720 --> 1:00:09.120 I find that really irrational, and I find that irresponsible. 1:00:09.160 --> 1:00:12.080 And to then thrust her out into the world and 1:00:12.160 --> 1:00:15.160 allow her, at fifteen years of age, Clinton to address 1:00:15.240 --> 1:00:19.280 the UN and to perpetuate this theory that the world 1:00:19.400 --> 1:00:23.320 was going to blow up. I just find that really 1:00:23.440 --> 1:00:26.680 quite shocking. So it made me look at her differently 1:00:26.720 --> 1:00:29.440 when I delved into the history of who she is 1:00:29.520 --> 1:00:32.280 and how she was raised and what she was exposed to, 1:00:32.360 --> 1:00:35.960 and knowing also that she's autistic and suffers from OCD, 1:00:36.880 --> 1:00:39.880 I just I saw this young girl who needed some 1:00:39.920 --> 1:00:43.000 intervention and to be told, you know what, it's going 1:00:43.040 --> 1:00:43.640 to be okay. 1:00:46.160 --> 1:00:48.200 I didn't think I'd ever see the day where Lucy 1:00:48.360 --> 1:00:51.360 Zilich was Maybe this is a bit strong, but a. 1:00:51.320 --> 1:00:55.280 Fan, no, that's definitely too strong. I'm not a fan, 1:00:55.360 --> 1:00:57.600 but all I'm doing is asking people to kind of 1:00:57.640 --> 1:00:59.960 reframe the way that they look at this young girl 1:01:00.320 --> 1:01:02.320 who actually just needs a bit of love and a 1:01:02.320 --> 1:01:04.440 bit of help. I'm not angry at her as much 1:01:04.480 --> 1:01:07.120 as I am at the people and the propagandist in 1:01:07.160 --> 1:01:10.080 the media and politicians who have propped her up. 1:01:10.400 --> 1:01:12.400 Really, if you want to, if you want to give 1:01:12.440 --> 1:01:14.520 Greta a bit of love, one three, one eight seven three, 1:01:14.520 --> 1:01:17.160 he's at number It's Straight Shoes with Lucy Zilich for 1:01:17.280 --> 1:01:19.400 a Wednesday afternoon. I just put across out to Steve 1:01:19.480 --> 1:01:23.160 in Edmondson. Steve has come across. Well, this is quite 1:01:23.200 --> 1:01:25.960 intriguing on the Hume Highway. What have you seen, Steve. 1:01:27.600 --> 1:01:33.000 It's just before Picked and someone's either lost their dinner or. 1:01:34.360 --> 1:01:35.360 Because there's a couple. 1:01:35.120 --> 1:01:38.480 Of hessets in the shoulder lane getting corralled by paddy wagon. 1:01:38.800 --> 1:01:41.800 Love it you just dropped out there, Steve, So just 1:01:41.840 --> 1:01:44.120 to repeat, you said somebody maybe lost their dinner, but 1:01:44.120 --> 1:01:47.120 there are two live cows on the road. 1:01:48.320 --> 1:01:51.120 Yeah, two live cows on the shoulder lane getting corralled 1:01:51.120 --> 1:01:51.960 by a paddy wagon. 1:01:52.040 --> 1:01:54.040 So anyone that's coming up to Picked and road if 1:01:54.040 --> 1:01:56.320 you're slowing down suddenly, just make sure you really really 1:01:56.360 --> 1:01:56.840 slow down. 1:01:57.040 --> 1:01:57.640 You might not know it. 1:01:57.720 --> 1:02:00.080 They're okay, okay, So which direction of the hum high 1:02:00.080 --> 1:02:01.200 Way is it? Heading northbound? 1:02:02.280 --> 1:02:03.240 Heading towards Sydney. 1:02:03.280 --> 1:02:08.520 Yes, that's right, okay, watch out, yep, watch out, heading 1:02:08.560 --> 1:02:11.720 towards Sydney northbound Hume Highway. Just before that picked an exit. 1:02:11.760 --> 1:02:16.600 There are two cows on the shoulder. Thankfully the authorities 1:02:16.600 --> 1:02:18.560 are there, so they're not going to end up someone's dinner. 1:02:18.600 --> 1:02:20.920 The cows are going to be okay. Lucy's eelich with 1:02:21.040 --> 1:02:23.640 me with straight shooters, it's fourteen to five. If you're 1:02:23.640 --> 1:02:25.680 a customer with Westpac, let me know if you have 1:02:25.680 --> 1:02:29.160 any problems with their internet services or their app. Just 1:02:29.200 --> 1:02:30.920 had a message from one of our listeners saying there 1:02:30.960 --> 1:02:33.200 are some IT issues with Westpac. At the moment. We've 1:02:33.320 --> 1:02:36.360 checked on our end and we can't see that as 1:02:36.360 --> 1:02:39.000 a problem at the moment. Westpac hasn't tweeted a problem. 1:02:39.040 --> 1:02:40.720 We're trying to get in contact with the bank now, 1:02:40.960 --> 1:02:42.840 but just hearing that there might be some IT issues 1:02:42.840 --> 1:02:45.280 with Westpac. So if you are a Westpac customer and 1:02:45.320 --> 1:02:46.960 there are some drummas, just just let us know, so 1:02:47.000 --> 1:02:49.560 we can just clarify what's going on. Lucy's Zelich is 1:02:49.560 --> 1:02:52.760 my straight shoot. Beautiful sunset here at the Western Sydney's 1:02:52.800 --> 1:02:56.400 National Airport. It is the strawberry moon tonight. If you 1:02:57.080 --> 1:02:58.880 have a lookout to the east, I'm looking at the 1:02:58.920 --> 1:03:03.960 moon at the moment, very large and round. It's quite beautiful, Lucy. 1:03:04.160 --> 1:03:06.880 I do love a sighting of a full moon. It 1:03:06.920 --> 1:03:10.560 is supposed to unleash the crazies. Though Clinton allegedly. 1:03:11.800 --> 1:03:15.720 Well, Christy on the text line says, regarding Greta Thunberg, 1:03:15.800 --> 1:03:18.520 now I feel bad. I've been anti Greta for a while. 1:03:18.600 --> 1:03:20.520 Now now you've made it feel bad because we're having 1:03:20.520 --> 1:03:21.439 a Greta love you. 1:03:21.440 --> 1:03:24.600 Now it stops saying it's a love in for goodness sake. 1:03:24.600 --> 1:03:27.560 You love Greta. No, I don't you love it. You 1:03:27.560 --> 1:03:30.080 don't like a parents you love Greta. No. 1:03:30.400 --> 1:03:32.920 I'm the way I want people to start looking at 1:03:32.920 --> 1:03:34.960 it now, and the way we should start framing it is. 1:03:35.000 --> 1:03:39.040 I'm less disturbed and frustrated and annoyed by Greta as 1:03:39.080 --> 1:03:42.960 what I am by her parents decision to allow a 1:03:43.120 --> 1:03:46.400 child to genuinely believe that the world was going to 1:03:46.400 --> 1:03:48.800 blow up and come to an end, and to then 1:03:48.920 --> 1:03:52.720 push that out into the world. That's irresponsible parenting. Let's 1:03:52.720 --> 1:03:53.400 call that what it is. 1:03:53.440 --> 1:03:55.680 You'll come well, come to some calls and feedback on 1:03:55.680 --> 1:03:57.160 this one in the moment. But I just I have 1:03:57.200 --> 1:04:00.520 a query with you, Lucy. What is a traad wife. 1:04:00.800 --> 1:04:02.680 I've not heard of the term tradwife. 1:04:02.720 --> 1:04:05.760 Apparently I'm a tradwife because I've decided to push paws 1:04:05.800 --> 1:04:09.280 on my cur well, apparently that's me because I've decided 1:04:09.280 --> 1:04:11.600 to push paws on my career. Albeit I do come 1:04:11.640 --> 1:04:13.160 in here one day a week and have a big 1:04:13.160 --> 1:04:14.080 winning ah. 1:04:14.440 --> 1:04:17.280 All the rest of it is that traditional, traditional. 1:04:16.760 --> 1:04:20.960 Traditional wife. So you've chosen to take what people understand 1:04:21.040 --> 1:04:24.680 in society to be a traditional and assume a traditional 1:04:24.720 --> 1:04:27.440 gender role by being the mother at home and looking 1:04:27.440 --> 1:04:30.360 after your children while your spouse, your husband goes out 1:04:30.400 --> 1:04:33.160 to work. Now that is the situation that I'm in 1:04:33.200 --> 1:04:35.360 at the moment. My husband, who works incredibly hard for 1:04:35.440 --> 1:04:37.920 my family, sometimes seven days a week, goes out and 1:04:38.000 --> 1:04:41.000 works whilst I look after our children at home. I 1:04:41.040 --> 1:04:43.280 do the cooking, I do the cleaning, and I'm very 1:04:43.320 --> 1:04:45.760 happy to do all of that because I don't recognize 1:04:45.800 --> 1:04:48.120 it or frame it in a way that is designed 1:04:48.600 --> 1:04:50.800 as much of society would like to do now, that 1:04:50.960 --> 1:04:55.120 is designed or intended to be subservient to my husband. 1:04:55.480 --> 1:04:58.600 It's designed to actually pull my end of the bargain 1:04:58.680 --> 1:05:01.640 and to do my job at home raising children, which 1:05:01.720 --> 1:05:04.360 happens to be very important work, Clinton Maynard. 1:05:04.960 --> 1:05:07.360 And this issue has been raised because it's been debated 1:05:07.360 --> 1:05:08.880 at a school in South Australia. 1:05:09.080 --> 1:05:11.160 It has been and I think it's triggered a lot 1:05:11.160 --> 1:05:14.360 of ayre and a lot of frustration. Apparently they've received 1:05:14.520 --> 1:05:18.080 a host of complaints about this because what it's allegedly 1:05:18.160 --> 1:05:21.840 doing in having this debate about tradwives is that it's 1:05:21.880 --> 1:05:25.880 apparently taking us back and that it's regressive because we 1:05:26.040 --> 1:05:28.400 believe that, you know, it's okay for women to be 1:05:28.440 --> 1:05:30.400 at home to look after their children if that's the 1:05:30.480 --> 1:05:32.360 choice that they would like to make. And let me 1:05:32.440 --> 1:05:36.080 be clear, this isn't just a gender issue, right. There 1:05:36.080 --> 1:05:38.360 are a lot of men now who are also choosing 1:05:38.400 --> 1:05:40.640 to stay at home because their wives are in certain 1:05:40.680 --> 1:05:44.960 economic positions within their careers that advances the family cause 1:05:45.240 --> 1:05:47.760 in much greater terms, and so a lot of the 1:05:47.840 --> 1:05:51.240 dads are staying at home. But we've become very fixated 1:05:51.280 --> 1:05:54.800 on this tradwife movement right where it concerns women who 1:05:54.840 --> 1:05:57.400 have elected to stay at home and bake pies and 1:05:57.440 --> 1:06:00.720 cookies and spend time with their children. I think the 1:06:00.760 --> 1:06:04.120 way that we frame parenting now is a problem. I 1:06:04.160 --> 1:06:07.479 think the way that we frame mothers choosing to stay 1:06:07.520 --> 1:06:10.400 at home now is a problem because what you're saying 1:06:10.520 --> 1:06:12.760 is is that you're likening it too. And I've seen 1:06:12.760 --> 1:06:16.080 it in the Victorian government's budget announcement where they talk 1:06:16.120 --> 1:06:20.200 about parenting and women in particular being at a disadvantage 1:06:20.200 --> 1:06:22.800 economically because they choose to stay at home with their 1:06:22.880 --> 1:06:24.720 kids and they're not getting super and all the rest 1:06:24.720 --> 1:06:26.920 of it. Let me tell you something, Clinton, in twenty 1:06:27.040 --> 1:06:29.440 years time, I'm not going to look back at my 1:06:29.560 --> 1:06:32.000 circumstances now, which by the way, have put us in 1:06:32.000 --> 1:06:34.400 a situation where we've had to be more conservative financially. 1:06:35.040 --> 1:06:37.880 But I'm never going to say, Gee, what a disadvantage 1:06:37.920 --> 1:06:40.280 and an imposition that was on me staying at home 1:06:40.320 --> 1:06:42.000 with my kids in their formative years. 1:06:42.400 --> 1:06:46.040 And Lucy, it's actually the same for blocks. We had 1:06:46.080 --> 1:06:49.000 three kids under the age of two, and one of 1:06:49.000 --> 1:06:53.440 my regrets in those because we had twins and our 1:06:53.440 --> 1:06:56.160 oldest daughter, Lauren wasn't too at that point. And one 1:06:56.160 --> 1:06:58.440 of my regrets as a father, and this is just 1:06:58.440 --> 1:07:01.160 the economic realities of the world, I didn't spend enough 1:07:01.200 --> 1:07:03.080 time at home in those early years. I think I 1:07:03.400 --> 1:07:06.080 rectified it in recent times, but I certainly regret that. 1:07:06.240 --> 1:07:08.760 And the kids don't stay little for long. So even 1:07:08.760 --> 1:07:12.880 putting aside the economic realities that you don't you need 1:07:12.920 --> 1:07:15.240 to appreciate those years and that's something that I have 1:07:15.320 --> 1:07:17.320 some regret with. We're going to come to your feedback 1:07:17.320 --> 1:07:18.800 next if you'd like to have your say, we'll come 1:07:18.840 --> 1:07:20.919 to some calls next one three, one, eight seven three 1:07:21.000 --> 1:07:24.000 Lucy Zilich our straight Shooter on a Wednesday five to five. 1:07:24.040 --> 1:07:26.040 One of our listeners told us a few moments ago 1:07:26.200 --> 1:07:28.880 about two cows on the road on the Hume Highway 1:07:29.040 --> 1:07:32.960 city bound Wilton Pickton Road turn off. Well, we've now 1:07:33.000 --> 1:07:35.200 confirmed it's a lot more than two cows. There've been 1:07:35.240 --> 1:07:37.840 fifteen cows on the road. This is on the Hume Highway, 1:07:38.360 --> 1:07:41.480 so think about how busy the Hume can get around 1:07:41.600 --> 1:07:43.640 around Wilton. This is the pickt and road turn off. 1:07:43.840 --> 1:07:46.320 Now we've been assured now that the cattle have been 1:07:46.360 --> 1:07:48.720 taken away from the road. The police themselves aren't on 1:07:48.720 --> 1:07:51.120 the scene, but the cattle have been taken away from 1:07:51.160 --> 1:07:54.880 the road. But honestly, you're driving through Wilton Hume Highway 1:07:54.960 --> 1:07:57.920 at the moment. Police take some care. Well, you can 1:07:57.960 --> 1:08:00.840 hear them that they're there. Okaye, when there's there's been 1:08:00.840 --> 1:08:04.640 no disclaire, no incidence yet. But we don't want to 1:08:04.640 --> 1:08:06.240 see any of the cattle injured. We don't want to 1:08:06.240 --> 1:08:09.240 see anyone injured on the road. Okay, Let's get to 1:08:09.280 --> 1:08:11.360 some calls before we wrap up. Lucy won three one 1:08:11.400 --> 1:08:14.720 eight seven three on Gretithum the Color Andrew. 1:08:15.040 --> 1:08:15.640 Yeah, go a. 1:08:18.160 --> 1:08:22.240 Greta Well. I I rarely disagree with what Lucy says, 1:08:22.320 --> 1:08:27.599 because he generally nails it. I'm a totally man made 1:08:27.720 --> 1:08:29.559 climate change denier. 1:08:31.200 --> 1:08:33.360 Amen, Andrew, Amen. 1:08:33.640 --> 1:08:37.559 Yeah, I don't. The climate has always changed, or we'd 1:08:37.600 --> 1:08:42.400 be in the last Ice age. But anyway, Yeah, Lucy, 1:08:42.640 --> 1:08:45.720 what she said about good or I've felt for some 1:08:45.840 --> 1:08:49.000 time I felt a bit sorry for her when she 1:08:49.240 --> 1:08:52.680 was promoted some years back and did the how dare 1:08:52.720 --> 1:08:55.400 you and all that stuff and and I thought, well, 1:08:55.520 --> 1:09:00.599 you know, she's a misguided youth, but she legs in it, 1:09:00.640 --> 1:09:03.640 and I wasn't going to doubt her for that. But 1:09:04.000 --> 1:09:06.400 I think everyone has just used her so much since 1:09:06.720 --> 1:09:08.439 I'm not I don't know about her parents and they 1:09:08.520 --> 1:09:11.960 going to blame anyone, but so many people have used 1:09:11.960 --> 1:09:13.760 her news through news to her and put her in 1:09:13.800 --> 1:09:17.040 situations that to me, I find very unfair. 1:09:17.640 --> 1:09:19.639 Really well said Andrew, And that's sort of the take 1:09:19.720 --> 1:09:21.680 that I had once I started to do some more 1:09:21.680 --> 1:09:23.840 digging into who she was and her history and how 1:09:23.880 --> 1:09:27.519 she came about. Her mother is an interesting character as well. 1:09:27.520 --> 1:09:30.360 She's quite a well known opera singer as well. 1:09:30.400 --> 1:09:33.559 In I thought she's a model, model, opera singer, superstar. 1:09:33.880 --> 1:09:36.599 Maybe all of those things. See the allure of fame 1:09:36.720 --> 1:09:39.719 maybe was all too blinding for her and she wanted 1:09:39.720 --> 1:09:40.400 it for a daughter. 1:09:40.479 --> 1:09:44.080 To Good on you, Andrew Ros. What's her say on 1:09:44.320 --> 1:09:46.360 trad was? Are you a trad wife? 1:09:46.439 --> 1:09:46.759 Roz? 1:09:47.880 --> 1:09:51.320 I was at one stage Clinton when my kids were young, 1:09:51.840 --> 1:09:52.559 just like Lucy. 1:09:53.000 --> 1:09:54.160 Good on your ros. 1:09:54.600 --> 1:09:57.000 Yeah, And I think that they're very necessary to all 1:09:57.040 --> 1:09:59.920 the volunteering work that we may done. And I'm sure 1:10:00.120 --> 1:10:02.519 there's a lot of that missing now that you know 1:10:02.640 --> 1:10:05.919 women are having to work, most of them to support 1:10:06.040 --> 1:10:08.599 their families, and I think it's very sad, and. 1:10:08.640 --> 1:10:10.479 I do too, ros And the way I see it is, 1:10:10.520 --> 1:10:13.519 you know, one of the greatest lies ever sold and 1:10:13.560 --> 1:10:15.280 told was that you know that women, we could have 1:10:15.360 --> 1:10:17.559 it all. We could have the amazing career, and we 1:10:17.600 --> 1:10:20.400 could be these amazing mothers. I tried it for a 1:10:20.400 --> 1:10:22.280 little bit before the pandemic hit and I had to 1:10:22.320 --> 1:10:24.040 go back to work. My husband was out of a 1:10:24.080 --> 1:10:27.720 contract and retiring professional football from professional football, and I 1:10:27.840 --> 1:10:29.880 felt like I was doing a bad job at home 1:10:30.080 --> 1:10:32.920 and at work because I wanted to be this incredible mother, 1:10:33.160 --> 1:10:35.240 but I felt like I wasn't present enough. But I 1:10:35.280 --> 1:10:38.680 also equally wanted to be the most committed employee that 1:10:38.720 --> 1:10:41.559 I was before my children arrived. And hats off to 1:10:41.600 --> 1:10:43.599 those women that don't feel that guilt, that are able 1:10:43.640 --> 1:10:45.920 to feel as though they can do both quite comfortably. 1:10:46.439 --> 1:10:49.400 But from my perspective, you know, I really wanted to 1:10:49.439 --> 1:10:51.599 be at home for my children, and when the choice 1:10:51.640 --> 1:10:53.559 came down to it, they were the most important thing 1:10:53.560 --> 1:10:53.760 for me. 1:10:54.800 --> 1:10:57.360 Good on your rose. Think if your message, Adam has 1:10:57.439 --> 1:10:59.160 just actually sent me a message and says there's actually 1:10:59.200 --> 1:11:02.160 been in regards to the situation with the cows. Seriously, 1:11:02.360 --> 1:11:04.599 a truck has actually been on its side. So we'll 1:11:04.600 --> 1:11:08.000 just seek some clerk further clarification from the police off air. 1:11:08.040 --> 1:11:11.400 But this is a situation that's still unfolding Hume Highway. 1:11:11.520 --> 1:11:14.920 It's in Wilton. There's been as many as fifteen cows 1:11:14.920 --> 1:11:17.400 in the road, and it would appear that the truck 1:11:17.439 --> 1:11:19.640 carrying those cows has been involved in some sort of 1:11:19.720 --> 1:11:22.320 accident that it's ended up on its side and the 1:11:22.360 --> 1:11:26.040 cows have actually got out of the truck. Our understanding 1:11:26.120 --> 1:11:28.000 is that the cows have now been off the road, 1:11:28.080 --> 1:11:30.599 moved off the road. So the situation at the moment 1:11:30.760 --> 1:11:34.960 is it's okay. If you're driving through Wilton Hume Highway northbound, 1:11:35.040 --> 1:11:38.200 just near the Picton Road exit, all should be okay. 1:11:38.560 --> 1:11:39.400 We've run out of time. 1:11:39.439 --> 1:11:41.680 Thank you, Lucy, Thank you so much, Clinton and our 1:11:41.720 --> 1:11:44.240 lovely listeners. Looking forward to doing it all again next week. 1:11:45.000 --> 1:11:47.320 Lucy is Zelig our straight shooter. She is back with 1:11:47.360 --> 1:11:50.000 you every Wednesday afternoon. Coming up in the next hour, 1:11:50.360 --> 1:11:53.360 Mark Guy, He's gonna have his say on streaming services. 1:11:57.600 --> 1:12:02.280 This is sitting now with Clean on TGB. 1:12:03.479 --> 1:12:07.320 I'm broadcasting live from Sydney's Western Sydney International Airport. The 1:12:07.320 --> 1:12:11.000 official unveiling today some breaking news from La. Now it's 1:12:11.080 --> 1:12:14.519 now very late at night in LA, just after midnight, 1:12:14.960 --> 1:12:18.200 and curfew is now in place across the city. A 1:12:18.320 --> 1:12:22.040 fourth Australian media worker has now been injured involved in 1:12:22.120 --> 1:12:25.040 covering this event. Some confirmation now has just come through 1:12:25.080 --> 1:12:28.000 that a Channel nine cameraman has been struck in the 1:12:28.080 --> 1:12:32.240 league by a ricocheting rubber bullet, So not directly as 1:12:32.280 --> 1:12:35.559 our reporter Lauren to Marsi was, but he has been 1:12:35.560 --> 1:12:39.200 struck in a ricochet rubber bullet. Nine says they're assessing 1:12:39.240 --> 1:12:42.120 the situation. They're taking into account the growing number of 1:12:42.200 --> 1:12:45.679 similar incidents involving journalists in LA before making a decision 1:12:46.000 --> 1:12:48.880 on what they do going forward. We brought you some 1:12:49.120 --> 1:12:52.880 news just before our news Borden about cows on the 1:12:52.960 --> 1:12:58.240 road Hume Highway northbound through Wilton. So it's just before 1:12:58.320 --> 1:13:02.120 the Pickton Road turn off. Now many as fifteen cows 1:13:02.320 --> 1:13:03.800 have actually been on the road because there's been an 1:13:03.840 --> 1:13:06.040 accent involving a truck that ended up on its side. 1:13:06.360 --> 1:13:08.800 Now we understand nobody has been seriously injured in this, 1:13:09.280 --> 1:13:11.320 the cows, and I don't want to make light of it, 1:13:11.360 --> 1:13:13.640 because it could have been really serious situation if a 1:13:13.680 --> 1:13:15.719 car had to hit one of these cows. The cows 1:13:15.760 --> 1:13:17.240 that we moved to the side of the road. The 1:13:17.320 --> 1:13:19.439 cows are all okay, but has been as many as 1:13:19.960 --> 1:13:24.040 fifteen of them. The Transport Management people are on the 1:13:24.040 --> 1:13:26.799 scene there at the moment. So this is northbound Hume Highway. 1:13:26.800 --> 1:13:29.400 When you're driving through Wilton, can be very busy road, 1:13:29.479 --> 1:13:31.240 particularly at this time of the day, people heading back 1:13:31.240 --> 1:13:34.479 to Sydney as well. Just the Pickton Road turn off, 1:13:34.479 --> 1:13:37.759 so you'll notice a bit of a kerfuffle there. The cows, 1:13:37.800 --> 1:13:39.800 they're on the side of the road. Now hopefully the 1:13:39.840 --> 1:13:42.120 farmer can find them and take them to their home. 1:13:42.520 --> 1:13:45.000 They're going to be okay, and thankfully the traffic is 1:13:45.040 --> 1:13:47.400 all right. We had some reports a little earlier potentially 1:13:47.560 --> 1:13:50.960 some it issues with Westpac that may have been affecting 1:13:50.960 --> 1:13:53.519 their back end or their website and their app. We've 1:13:53.600 --> 1:13:57.160 just spoken with Westpac off air. Good news is things 1:13:57.160 --> 1:14:00.320 are okay with Westpac at the moment nine past five. 1:14:00.439 --> 1:14:04.240 I'm broadcasting. As I mentioned, live from Sydney's new Western 1:14:04.479 --> 1:14:07.639 Sydney International Airport and the sun is now going down 1:14:07.640 --> 1:14:11.519 across Sydney's West. I'm looking now over towards the new 1:14:11.600 --> 1:14:14.480 terminal which was unvalived by the Prime Minister Anthony Albernezi 1:14:14.520 --> 1:14:18.040 today and it is quite a remarkable facility and that's 1:14:18.080 --> 1:14:19.840 been the benefit of being able to develop this and 1:14:19.880 --> 1:14:22.400 design it from the ground up. But when you think 1:14:22.439 --> 1:14:25.360 about this, we were talking about this in the eighties. 1:14:25.800 --> 1:14:29.360 In fact, this land was first identified as a location 1:14:29.520 --> 1:14:32.960 for a second airport in the nineteen forties, and then 1:14:33.000 --> 1:14:35.880 in the nineteen eighties the decision was made there would 1:14:35.920 --> 1:14:40.439 be an airport here. The first sod was actually turned 1:14:41.000 --> 1:14:43.760 in the early nineteen nineties. Bob Hawk was still the 1:14:43.800 --> 1:14:46.600 Prime Minister in the dying days of his leadership, but 1:14:46.640 --> 1:14:49.640 of course nothing happened and there was political toing and 1:14:49.680 --> 1:14:53.320 throwing for decades before a coalition government actually fifteen years 1:14:53.320 --> 1:14:55.519 ago finally made the decision. Toney Abott would have been 1:14:55.520 --> 1:14:58.160 the Prime Minister, finally made the decision to go ahead 1:14:58.360 --> 1:15:01.920 with his facility. Now lanes are not yet operating here 1:15:02.240 --> 1:15:04.800 and they will be next year, probably within four years. 1:15:04.800 --> 1:15:06.519 There will be around two hundred planes a day that 1:15:06.560 --> 1:15:09.880 will fly in and out of here, around twenty three 1:15:09.920 --> 1:15:13.040 thousand passengers a day. I think initially you will find 1:15:13.040 --> 1:15:15.080 that cargo will be a really big part of this 1:15:15.160 --> 1:15:18.599 operation because unlike Mascot, this will operate twenty four hours 1:15:18.600 --> 1:15:21.719 a day, seven days a week. The Prime Minister today 1:15:21.760 --> 1:15:24.519 has said that that every action has been taken to 1:15:24.560 --> 1:15:27.840 protect as many people from airport noise, and far fewer 1:15:27.840 --> 1:15:30.280 people will be impacted by aircraft noise than they would 1:15:30.320 --> 1:15:33.639 be from Mascot Airport. And over time you will see 1:15:33.640 --> 1:15:38.160 more services, more and more services leave here. Initially there 1:15:38.200 --> 1:15:42.719 are four airlines who've committed to operating from here, Quotas, Jetstar, 1:15:43.240 --> 1:15:45.400 Air New Zealand and Singapore Hours. 1:15:45.520 --> 1:15:48.559 If it's happening in Sydney, you'll hear it on Sydney. 1:15:48.640 --> 1:15:53.160 Now with Clinton on to GB I'm with Greg Faran, 1:15:53.240 --> 1:15:55.320 who's the CEO of Air New Zealand. You've made a 1:15:55.520 --> 1:15:58.040 massive announcement today you will be flying in and out 1:15:58.080 --> 1:15:59.040 of Western City Airport. 1:15:59.240 --> 1:16:00.880 We will and we're excited about it. 1:16:00.920 --> 1:16:03.920 What a great airport twenty twenty seven, so it's not 1:16:04.120 --> 1:16:07.320 far away. How significant will the operation be here? 1:16:07.840 --> 1:16:10.160 Well, we see it as an and you know, we've 1:16:10.360 --> 1:16:13.599 got our busiest port at the moment in Kingsford Smith 1:16:13.640 --> 1:16:16.040 and we're flying in there five times a day. We 1:16:16.160 --> 1:16:19.400 want to grow the business across the Tasman. As I said, 1:16:19.439 --> 1:16:23.200 it's the busiest place. Seven hundred thousand Kiwis live in Australia, 1:16:23.760 --> 1:16:26.800 so being able to grow the business and fly here 1:16:27.040 --> 1:16:29.840 into Western Sydney is going to be great. I know 1:16:30.000 --> 1:16:32.960 the area well. You know, I spent fifteen years living 1:16:33.040 --> 1:16:35.519 here in Sydney, so I know how many people will 1:16:35.600 --> 1:16:38.479 find it really accessible to be able to get in 1:16:38.600 --> 1:16:41.400 here and get into Western Sydney and probably for some 1:16:41.479 --> 1:16:42.400 of them even go north. 1:16:42.800 --> 1:16:45.400 We Sydney started a joke about Bondi being the second 1:16:45.439 --> 1:16:47.559 home for Kigwe's in Sydney, but to be honest, it's 1:16:47.560 --> 1:16:50.439 actually Western Sydney. Where's massive population in Western Sydney from 1:16:50.479 --> 1:16:51.000 New Zealand. 1:16:51.840 --> 1:16:52.040 Yeah. 1:16:52.160 --> 1:16:55.880 Look, I would say to you that from my time here, 1:16:55.960 --> 1:16:59.320 this Kiwi's all over all over Sydney. We have a 1:16:59.400 --> 1:17:02.760 close relation ship and you know, I think this is 1:17:02.880 --> 1:17:04.320 just an excellent gateway. 1:17:04.800 --> 1:17:07.760 You're the fourth airline to jump on board. Why was 1:17:07.760 --> 1:17:08.880 it important for you to be quick? 1:17:10.160 --> 1:17:13.000 Well, As I said, we see this as a and 1:17:14.320 --> 1:17:18.280 you know Sydney is operating Kingsford Smith pretty much at capacity. 1:17:19.120 --> 1:17:21.640 We want to grow the business. There are more and 1:17:21.760 --> 1:17:24.519 more people wanting to fly here and so this gives 1:17:24.600 --> 1:17:27.559 us an opportunity to do exactly that, which is to grow. 1:17:27.840 --> 1:17:29.240 What do you make of the terminal that we're standing 1:17:29.240 --> 1:17:30.920 in at the moment? I really like it. 1:17:31.240 --> 1:17:33.559 And the reason I like it is that it has 1:17:34.040 --> 1:17:37.759 all the features that you would expect in an airport terminal. 1:17:37.840 --> 1:17:41.000 It's here to move passengers. So they've thought about it 1:17:41.080 --> 1:17:44.200 from a customer first angle, and that's the benefit of 1:17:44.320 --> 1:17:45.320 being green fields. 1:17:45.400 --> 1:17:46.000 You can do that. 1:17:46.960 --> 1:17:48.960 So I'm not walking into a shopping center. I'm not 1:17:49.040 --> 1:17:52.280 walking into something which isn't an airport. This is about 1:17:52.400 --> 1:17:56.560 getting customers from point A to point B efficiently effectively, 1:17:57.000 --> 1:17:58.760 and it shows up in everything that I've seen. 1:17:58.960 --> 1:18:00.920 And Greg just finally, how is the airline traveling at 1:18:00.920 --> 1:18:01.200 the moment? 1:18:01.560 --> 1:18:06.080 Yeah, Look, we're really starting to come out of our shell. 1:18:06.280 --> 1:18:06.679 Basically. 1:18:07.640 --> 1:18:10.320 You know, we've had all the challenges that everyone's seen 1:18:10.479 --> 1:18:13.240 sort of COVID and then post COVID restarting, we've had 1:18:13.280 --> 1:18:16.200 to deal with getting some aircraft and we've had our 1:18:16.240 --> 1:18:19.760 share of engine issues, not of our doing, but it's 1:18:19.880 --> 1:18:21.800 just what it is. What we're seeing now is some 1:18:21.960 --> 1:18:25.200 real momentum. We're announcing some new routes. We're announcing even 1:18:25.280 --> 1:18:28.439 more in the next couple of weeks, and I'm excited 1:18:28.439 --> 1:18:28.800 about what. 1:18:28.800 --> 1:18:31.080 The future holds your airline. And they've had your challenges 1:18:31.120 --> 1:18:34.040 like most airlines have, but from a service perspective, you've 1:18:34.040 --> 1:18:36.160 still had a very good reputation around the world. 1:18:36.520 --> 1:18:37.560 Yeah, we focus on that. 1:18:38.720 --> 1:18:41.400 We see that as being key our people, our culture. 1:18:42.040 --> 1:18:44.799 We spend a lot of time around recruitment and training 1:18:45.120 --> 1:18:47.800 and doing what's right for our customers and our team 1:18:48.200 --> 1:18:50.840 and that's something that we hold center in front of 1:18:50.920 --> 1:18:51.559 mind every day. 1:18:51.720 --> 1:18:54.200 Well, congratulations on becoming the fourth airline on to Cornus 1:18:54.280 --> 1:18:55.120 Jet start in Singapore. 1:18:55.320 --> 1:18:56.040 Thank you very much. 1:18:59.000 --> 1:19:01.840 Fourteen past five, the New South Wales Bureau of Crime, 1:19:01.880 --> 1:19:05.360 Statistics and Research has released figures today that show an 1:19:05.439 --> 1:19:08.640 upward trend in three major categories of crime over the 1:19:08.720 --> 1:19:13.000 past two years. Domestic violence related that assaults have increased 1:19:13.000 --> 1:19:17.240 by three point six percent, sexual assault reports have increased 1:19:17.240 --> 1:19:20.439 by six point four percent, and particularly in Sydney, up 1:19:20.520 --> 1:19:24.120 by almost ten percent. Now these are reports. This jumped 1:19:24.120 --> 1:19:25.559 out at me today when I looked at these figures 1:19:25.600 --> 1:19:30.120 as well, shoplifting retail theft incidents have climbed by four 1:19:30.200 --> 1:19:32.840 point three percent. I wonder why is it because of 1:19:32.840 --> 1:19:36.080 the tough economic times. Jackie Fitzgerald is from the Crime 1:19:36.120 --> 1:19:38.080 Stats and Research Bureau and joins us. Thank you for 1:19:38.120 --> 1:19:38.759 your time, Jackie. 1:19:39.280 --> 1:19:40.040 Hi, there Clinton. 1:19:41.160 --> 1:19:45.200 The issues concerning domestic violence and sexual assault obviously very important, 1:19:45.200 --> 1:19:48.719 but I could just ask you firstly about about retail theft. 1:19:48.840 --> 1:19:49.720 What have you found here? 1:19:50.720 --> 1:19:53.639 Look, I think you do automatically think, don't you, Clinton, 1:19:53.680 --> 1:19:56.760 that it is a cost of living pressures that are 1:19:56.840 --> 1:20:01.400 driving people to shoplift and steal those life necessities. But 1:20:01.560 --> 1:20:05.800 actually when you do look further into that increase in 1:20:05.880 --> 1:20:08.200 that offense, what we can see something quite different. So 1:20:08.880 --> 1:20:13.040 really the increase is being driven by increase in the 1:20:13.120 --> 1:20:17.800 theft of alcohol, and particularly your kind of top shelf 1:20:17.880 --> 1:20:21.240 liquor is really the most desirable. So your bourbon and 1:20:21.280 --> 1:20:24.040 your vodka and the like, and those are the things 1:20:24.080 --> 1:20:28.080 that are about a quarter of shoplifting that comes to 1:20:28.160 --> 1:20:31.599 police attention is in that category. And we can see 1:20:31.720 --> 1:20:35.360 that the increases are really driving and really driving up 1:20:35.439 --> 1:20:38.479 in terms of shoplifting at bottle shops. 1:20:39.880 --> 1:20:42.000 That's I mean, that's interesting, that's the case, because you 1:20:42.040 --> 1:20:44.200 wouldn't think, yes, we're all going through tough times that 1:20:44.240 --> 1:20:45.960 you wouldn't think it's the whiskey in the bourbon that 1:20:46.040 --> 1:20:48.160 we jump at first when we're doing it tough. 1:20:48.920 --> 1:20:52.799 Not really, I mean, I mean those other very expensive goods, 1:20:52.880 --> 1:20:57.800 and of course you know, a desirable absolutely, but you 1:20:57.880 --> 1:21:02.120 wouldn't really put it in the licensees category. I mean, 1:21:02.160 --> 1:21:04.519 I can understand that people might be finding it hard 1:21:04.560 --> 1:21:09.800 to afford those items, but it's not in the groceries 1:21:09.920 --> 1:21:13.880 or the baby formula that category. We're really looking at 1:21:13.960 --> 1:21:17.120 a desirable rather than a necessity. 1:21:18.160 --> 1:21:20.599 Jackie might not have looked at the research at this depth. 1:21:20.640 --> 1:21:23.519 But is there an indication perhaps there could be a 1:21:23.600 --> 1:21:26.439 black market that's growing for that style of liquor, that 1:21:26.560 --> 1:21:28.160 that organized crime could be behind it. 1:21:28.760 --> 1:21:32.120 Look I suspect Clinton that the volumes that you can 1:21:32.200 --> 1:21:35.719 steal in the shoplifting incident probably don't really lend themselves 1:21:35.760 --> 1:21:39.880 to that. We can see that there's been in terms 1:21:39.960 --> 1:21:43.920 of the offenders, we have seen an increase in charges 1:21:44.000 --> 1:21:49.240 against adult males, which is consistent with the liquor theft 1:21:49.280 --> 1:21:55.840 of liquor, but also an increase in theft by shoplifting 1:21:55.920 --> 1:22:01.240 by the teenage girls, so girls under eighteen also stealing, 1:22:02.520 --> 1:22:07.280 also also stealing liquor, and interestingly, we haven't seen corresponding 1:22:07.360 --> 1:22:11.840 increase in teen boys charged with shoplifting. So it's really 1:22:12.560 --> 1:22:19.240 quite an interesting scenario where we've got increases amongst adult 1:22:19.320 --> 1:22:23.240 males and young girls in terms of their participation in shoplifting. 1:22:23.400 --> 1:22:26.920 So it's you know, it's it's unexpected, I have to say. 1:22:27.760 --> 1:22:29.439 But this is the other point that jumps out at 1:22:29.479 --> 1:22:32.200 me about this where it is a little confusing, and 1:22:32.640 --> 1:22:34.680 I'm not going to stereotype people here, but from a 1:22:34.800 --> 1:22:39.560 socioeconomic perspective, where the spike appears to be occurring is 1:22:39.640 --> 1:22:42.439 in what you would term to be middle class areas, 1:22:42.760 --> 1:22:46.240 places like or Sydney, the sutherland Shire Hornsby. 1:22:46.800 --> 1:22:49.880 That's right, and those areas do have low rates of crime. 1:22:50.040 --> 1:22:52.680 So you know, when we look at the map of 1:22:52.720 --> 1:22:55.840 the state or even Sydney, those aren't the high crime areas. 1:22:55.880 --> 1:22:59.479 So Sutherlands in the West, North, Sydney, Hornsby, they're all 1:23:00.000 --> 1:23:03.519 relatively low in crime. But we have seen this uptick 1:23:03.920 --> 1:23:07.479 in retail theft, particularly in those communities, and it's you know, 1:23:07.600 --> 1:23:11.760 it's unusual, it's something that we haven't seen previously, and 1:23:12.360 --> 1:23:14.000 I would definitely have to keep an eye on it. 1:23:14.160 --> 1:23:17.240 But it's you know, I think there's probably more to 1:23:17.360 --> 1:23:18.200 it than meets the eye. 1:23:18.400 --> 1:23:21.120 I have to say, I've been trigging to find out 1:23:21.160 --> 1:23:23.760 what really that is in the long run, Jackie, Well, 1:23:23.760 --> 1:23:25.680 I've got you there that the other two categories are 1:23:26.240 --> 1:23:29.720 very serious offenses, domestic violence and sexual assault. There's been 1:23:29.840 --> 1:23:31.800 a lot of attention paid quite rightly in the last 1:23:31.800 --> 1:23:35.200 couple of years on domestic violence. The increase in those categories, 1:23:35.520 --> 1:23:39.599 would that be because more people feel comfortable coming forward. 1:23:40.560 --> 1:23:43.240 Look, I think we can say for sure in the 1:23:43.320 --> 1:23:46.320 field of sexual assault that more people are coming forward, 1:23:46.720 --> 1:23:50.519 and we suspect that's also the case with domestic violence. 1:23:50.600 --> 1:23:54.960 So with sexual assault in particular, as you say, we've 1:23:55.040 --> 1:24:01.160 had a really heated public conversation about consent and particularly 1:24:01.240 --> 1:24:05.240 high profile sexual violence issues coming to the public discussion 1:24:05.479 --> 1:24:09.000 over the last ten years or so. And in response 1:24:09.080 --> 1:24:12.960 to that, we've had specific initiatives by new sal police 1:24:13.000 --> 1:24:15.560 that have made it easier to report sexual assaults. So 1:24:15.680 --> 1:24:19.000 we know that victims of sexual self often get a 1:24:19.080 --> 1:24:22.680 tough time in the criminal justice system, and police have 1:24:22.800 --> 1:24:26.920 made it available to report sexual violence through an online 1:24:27.000 --> 1:24:30.880 portal from twenty twenty three and that's proved very very 1:24:30.960 --> 1:24:33.880 popular with the victims. So now about one in four 1:24:34.520 --> 1:24:38.280 sexual assault reports come through that avenue and about half 1:24:38.360 --> 1:24:41.040 of the increase over the past ten years is due 1:24:41.120 --> 1:24:45.439 to online reports. We've also got more mandatory reports coming 1:24:45.520 --> 1:24:49.320 into the police attention to sexual violence, and we know 1:24:49.520 --> 1:24:54.160 also we've had spikes in reports when there has been 1:24:54.880 --> 1:24:58.800 a topical issue on the sexual violence space, so it 1:24:59.000 --> 1:25:03.559 is very sensitive to that public discussion and more people 1:25:03.600 --> 1:25:05.000 coming forward in response to that. 1:25:06.160 --> 1:25:07.800 Thank you for the information. Thank you, Jackie. 1:25:08.360 --> 1:25:10.800 Thanks so Matt's Clenton Jackie. 1:25:10.520 --> 1:25:12.760 Fitzgerald, who's the executive director of the New South Wales 1:25:12.760 --> 1:25:15.160 Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research. Mean that really jumped 1:25:15.160 --> 1:25:18.560 out of me that there's been this big spike in shoplifting, 1:25:18.600 --> 1:25:21.719 but particularly with alcohol. Alcohol makes up twenty five percent 1:25:22.600 --> 1:25:25.800 of all cases of shoplifting and as Jackie pointed out, 1:25:25.840 --> 1:25:29.360 there they are finding this big spike with teenage girls 1:25:29.600 --> 1:25:32.679 in particular, more teenage girls are getting caught stealing grog 1:25:33.520 --> 1:25:36.519 than boys, and it's in areas like the Inner West, 1:25:36.840 --> 1:25:40.320 sutherland Shire, the North Shore.

A sixteen year old boy is facing 1:26:27.600 --> 1:26:30.520 charges relating to the fire bombing of a Sydney barbershop. 1:26:30.800 --> 1:26:33.879 The blaze at Marylins didn't cause much damage, but security 1:26:33.960 --> 1:26:37.519 vision showed a hooded figure accidentally catching a light. The 1:26:37.680 --> 1:26:40.759 Israeli government will meet next week to decide its response 1:26:40.840 --> 1:26:44.719 to sanctions on two far right ministers. Australia has joined 1:26:44.760 --> 1:26:49.200 four other countries to sanction Itamar, Bengibee and Bezalel Smotrich 1:26:49.640 --> 1:26:51.880 and multiple cows have been spotted on the side of 1:26:51.920 --> 1:26:55.080 the Hume Highway south of Sydney. It's understood the cattle 1:26:55.320 --> 1:26:57.840 escaped from a truck which was caught in a crash 1:26:58.439 --> 1:27:02.040 in Sport.

From today, small businesses that have been 1:27:15.920 --> 1:27:18.320 affected by the floods in the Mid North Coast and 1:27:18.439 --> 1:27:21.400 also in the Hunter Valley can formally apply for the 1:27:21.439 --> 1:27:24.040 twenty five thousand dollars that is being made available through 1:27:24.040 --> 1:27:27.040 a combination of the state government and the federal government. 1:27:27.640 --> 1:27:31.400 Applications are being received and can be lodged from residents 1:27:31.600 --> 1:27:34.760 and businesses in twenty eight local government areas. And this 1:27:34.920 --> 1:27:38.439 also concerns people who've been affected by tropical Cyclone Alfred. 1:27:38.960 --> 1:27:41.799 We spoke to Guss and Beck who have an oyster 1:27:41.920 --> 1:27:44.960 farm just on the outskirts of Tarre last week on 1:27:45.040 --> 1:27:48.120 the program, and they're trying to get their life back together. 1:27:48.360 --> 1:27:50.880 And after we witness the damage of what they've been through, 1:27:51.160 --> 1:27:53.840 it's hard to see how twenty five thousand dollars is 1:27:53.920 --> 1:27:56.240 going to go far. They will be grateful for that 1:27:56.720 --> 1:28:00.880 five thousand dollars is available immediately, and they'll need to 1:28:00.920 --> 1:28:02.960 and this will apply to all those small businesses. They'll 1:28:03.000 --> 1:28:06.160 need to provide receipts for the expenditure for the rest 1:28:06.360 --> 1:28:09.000 running twenty thousand dollars. And that's necessary by the governments 1:28:09.000 --> 1:28:10.920 because they found drink covid. So many people were ripping 1:28:10.920 --> 1:28:13.040 the governments off when it came to grants. But the 1:28:13.080 --> 1:28:15.800 difficulty for many of these businesses is they don't then 1:28:15.880 --> 1:28:18.599 have the twenty thousand dollars or can't access the credit 1:28:18.720 --> 1:28:21.120 quickly to then buy what they actually need. 1:28:23.320 --> 1:28:24.640 Finance Update. 1:28:25.800 --> 1:28:28.760 Deb Night hosting Money US from seven o'clock tonight. Hello, Deb, 1:28:29.000 --> 1:28:30.000 Hello to you Clinton. 1:28:30.080 --> 1:28:32.880 It's very timely that you are at the airport today 1:28:32.960 --> 1:28:35.720 because we're talking a lot about the aviation sector on 1:28:35.800 --> 1:28:36.599 Money News tonight. 1:28:37.320 --> 1:28:41.120 Yes, certainly so. Quattas Jetstar Singapore Airlines and Air New 1:28:41.200 --> 1:28:43.479 Zealand will be the first four carriers to operate out 1:28:43.520 --> 1:28:47.080 of here. And Jetstar Asia though is being wound up. 1:28:47.360 --> 1:28:49.800 Yeah, and look, it's a long time coming because it's 1:28:49.840 --> 1:28:53.480 a Singapore based arm of Quantus. It was the brainchild 1:28:53.560 --> 1:28:56.439 of the former CEO, Alan Joyce. It only turned a 1:28:56.520 --> 1:28:59.160 profit in the last six of the twenty years that 1:28:59.240 --> 1:29:02.080 it was operating, so it was a financial drag on 1:29:02.160 --> 1:29:04.680 the rest of the operation and as of the end 1:29:04.720 --> 1:29:08.240 of July it will no longer be operating any flights. 1:29:08.400 --> 1:29:11.080 It will be shut down. Five hundred jobs unfortunately will 1:29:11.120 --> 1:29:13.840 be lost, but the planes and the resources will be 1:29:14.000 --> 1:29:18.240 redeployed across the rest of Quantus's operations here in Australia, 1:29:18.360 --> 1:29:22.000 so long term it's a wise move for the airline 1:29:22.000 --> 1:29:24.759 to be taking. There's also news to do with Rex 1:29:24.880 --> 1:29:29.559 today possibly making a comeback, and also with more coming 1:29:29.640 --> 1:29:32.599 through with Virgin and the IPO, so lots to cover 1:29:32.800 --> 1:29:35.920 in the aviation sector. On nonni news tonight, it. 1:29:35.880 --> 1:29:37.519 Would be great if for X to make a comeback. 1:29:37.560 --> 1:29:39.759 But look, you and I have been following these issues 1:29:39.800 --> 1:29:41.800 for decades now. It just seems to me that a 1:29:41.920 --> 1:29:44.639 strong third carrier seems to be impossible in this market. 1:29:44.680 --> 1:29:45.960 I remember the day's a compass. 1:29:46.640 --> 1:29:49.400 Yeah, well exactly, Anset too. You know, we've had so 1:29:49.560 --> 1:29:52.600 many failures in aviation, and you're right, we don't have 1:29:52.880 --> 1:29:55.760 a big population base, but we need to ensure that 1:29:55.840 --> 1:29:59.200 those regional towns and centers are serviced by an airline, 1:29:59.200 --> 1:30:02.640 and the governments been propping Rex up. Whether or not 1:30:02.760 --> 1:30:05.360 a buyer can be found, though, is what really needs 1:30:05.400 --> 1:30:05.920 to be answered. 1:30:06.800 --> 1:30:09.080 There have been some small gains on the stock market today. 1:30:09.400 --> 1:30:11.760 Yeah, still a record A win's a win, will take it. 1:30:11.880 --> 1:30:13.880 The O s X two hundred came roaring out of 1:30:13.920 --> 1:30:16.200 the block. Some of those gains were paired back slightly. 1:30:16.280 --> 1:30:18.760 It ended up closing zero point one percent or five 1:30:18.840 --> 1:30:22.120 points higher, and again another record high. And the Aussie 1:30:22.160 --> 1:30:24.880 dollar it's fallen back a little bit, It's still held 1:30:24.920 --> 1:30:27.240 onto most of its recent gains. It's currently buying just 1:30:27.320 --> 1:30:28.679 over sixty five years cents. 1:30:29.720 --> 1:30:32.120 Now. Tesla is being sued in France. 1:30:32.600 --> 1:30:36.360 Yeah, how about this oo La La? So the Tesla owners. 1:30:36.600 --> 1:30:38.320 You might have seen the stickers on the back of 1:30:38.400 --> 1:30:41.120 Tesla's where people have been unhappy with the actions of 1:30:41.160 --> 1:30:44.559 the owner, billionaire Elon Musk saying the stickers I bought 1:30:44.640 --> 1:30:48.040 this Tesla before Elon went crazy. Well, the French are 1:30:48.080 --> 1:30:50.840 taking it a step further. Some of the owners of 1:30:51.120 --> 1:30:55.040 Tesla's who have long term contracts and leases want to 1:30:55.200 --> 1:30:58.439 get out of those leases and they are suing Tesla, 1:30:58.680 --> 1:31:01.080 saying that it's been linked to the brand with the 1:31:01.240 --> 1:31:05.080 far right because of Elon Musk's actions supporting far right 1:31:05.120 --> 1:31:08.160 political parties in Germany. So it will be fascinating to 1:31:08.240 --> 1:31:11.080 see if this does succeed in the courts, whether or 1:31:11.080 --> 1:31:13.439 not it sets a precedent for the damage that can 1:31:13.479 --> 1:31:16.519 be done from brands when their owners go a bit awry. 1:31:18.160 --> 1:31:19.960 I thought maybe they might all be back on board now, 1:31:20.040 --> 1:31:25.480 the lefty testy Tesla drivers because Elon's falling out with Donald. 1:31:25.560 --> 1:31:28.320 Yeah, no, not happy. Many of the Tesla owners still 1:31:29.680 --> 1:31:32.120 yes his actions and if they can't get out of 1:31:32.160 --> 1:31:34.280 their leases, they want to sue him to ensure the 1:31:34.400 --> 1:31:35.479 courts can allow them. 1:31:35.360 --> 1:31:35.600 To do it. 1:31:36.760 --> 1:31:38.479 Thank you, dev We'll be listening from seven o'clock. 1:31:38.680 --> 1:31:39.320 Thanks Clinton. 1:31:40.320 --> 1:31:41.960 Deb Night with money used tonight from. 1:31:41.840 --> 1:31:43.920 Seven on Sydney.

How do you feel about how 1:32:46.880 --> 1:32:48.679 do you feel about the airport being twenty four hours 1:32:48.680 --> 1:32:48.960 a day. 1:32:49.160 --> 1:32:52.200 Oh, look, I think it's fantastic for the local economy. 1:32:52.280 --> 1:32:54.400 I know that house prices have gone through the roof 1:32:54.680 --> 1:32:57.360 if you have a house in the western suburbs of 1:32:57.439 --> 1:33:00.439 Sydney at the moment, I know the skyrocketing. It's pretty 1:33:00.439 --> 1:33:03.640 hard for young kids to get a deposit on a 1:33:03.640 --> 1:33:06.120 house these days day. But look, I think it's good. 1:33:06.720 --> 1:33:06.920 Look. 1:33:06.960 --> 1:33:08.920 That depends on where the flight paths are. 1:33:09.040 --> 1:33:12.799 I suppose if they stay away from the more densely 1:33:12.880 --> 1:33:15.040 populated areas, I think they won't have too much drama. 1:33:15.120 --> 1:33:18.160 But I just think the whole Western Sydney, the Battery's 1:33:18.160 --> 1:33:20.439 Creek Airport is so good for the western suburb of Sydney. 1:33:20.439 --> 1:33:22.200 It's going to put us right on the map. 1:33:22.520 --> 1:33:25.040 And no longer we have to travel an hour an 1:33:25.040 --> 1:33:26.360 hour and a half to get to the airport to 1:33:26.680 --> 1:33:28.240 fly overseas or fly domestically. 1:33:28.320 --> 1:33:29.919 We've got it right in our own backyard. 1:33:31.240 --> 1:33:34.479 Rugby League news Manly Seagulls for Josh Alloy could be 1:33:34.520 --> 1:33:35.400 forced into retirement. 1:33:35.479 --> 1:33:36.120 Yeah, Paul Bugger. 1:33:36.160 --> 1:33:39.479 He's had a shoulder complaint Clinton now and he's another blow. 1:33:39.560 --> 1:33:42.080 He's about round ninety heard his shold I think against 1:33:42.080 --> 1:33:44.640 the Broncos, but now looks like he might have to 1:33:45.320 --> 1:33:48.280 have a medical retirement or a premature retirement. He's only 1:33:48.320 --> 1:33:50.200 twenty nine years of age, so that's a big blow 1:33:50.240 --> 1:33:53.040 for the Seagulls. Tucky Oahu's out at the moment with 1:33:53.200 --> 1:33:55.599 no sorry Passaca is out at the moment with an 1:33:55.600 --> 1:33:57.200 achilles injury as well. 1:33:57.280 --> 1:33:59.680 So mainly have some trouble with their big boys at 1:33:59.680 --> 1:34:00.000 the minute. 1:34:01.120 --> 1:34:03.680 Now, Young Josh he was the bloke, wasn't he that 1:34:03.800 --> 1:34:05.519 used to play for the Tigers and he had a 1:34:05.560 --> 1:34:07.160 bit of an ugly extra from the Tigers. And then 1:34:07.360 --> 1:34:09.760 he didn't he put a meme out on social media 1:34:09.840 --> 1:34:10.679 mowing lawns or something. 1:34:10.800 --> 1:34:12.920 Yes he did, Yes he did. That's the same one. 1:34:13.040 --> 1:34:14.680 So he's a bit of a character, a bit of 1:34:14.720 --> 1:34:16.320 a character. He is a character. 1:34:16.720 --> 1:34:19.280 And you never like to see Arabia League player or 1:34:19.280 --> 1:34:22.719 any any sportsperson for that matter, retiring because of an injury. 1:34:22.800 --> 1:34:25.920 And this is as a bad shot injury for him. 1:34:26.360 --> 1:34:28.000 But in some good news, the Dragons have locked in 1:34:28.080 --> 1:34:31.799 their dummy half Jacob Little with a three year extension. 1:34:32.200 --> 1:34:35.040 The Red Vee have already got Damien cooked there until 1:34:35.120 --> 1:34:37.080 at the end of twenty six and that's when they 1:34:37.160 --> 1:34:39.840 think that young little who was I've said he's only 1:34:39.920 --> 1:34:41.639 twenty I think twenty seven years of age. 1:34:41.840 --> 1:34:42.839 He'll go straight into. 1:34:42.680 --> 1:34:45.280 That role and he'll be their hooker because he's been 1:34:45.320 --> 1:34:46.439 come up with a bench of la and he's been 1:34:46.479 --> 1:34:48.439 really good for the Dragons. 1:34:48.479 --> 1:34:50.320 So I'm good to see him rewarded with an extension. 1:34:51.920 --> 1:34:54.720 Yes, and Jacob Karraz that the Bulldog's wing has been 1:34:54.800 --> 1:34:56.080 called to the new south West squad. 1:34:56.200 --> 1:35:00.400 Well, yes, look, there's always an injury cloud over someone 1:35:00.720 --> 1:35:04.439 or some team in origin. This time it's Penrith Brian 1:35:04.479 --> 1:35:06.760 Tot who says all they saying that he's got some 1:35:07.200 --> 1:35:10.639 hamstring tightness. He'll be rested from training in the Blue 1:35:10.680 --> 1:35:15.400 Mountains until the weekend. So yeah, Jacob Carraz has been 1:35:15.439 --> 1:35:18.799 brought in and in a big tick as well because 1:35:19.160 --> 1:35:21.839 Laurie Daly is boarding a young guy called Thomas Jenkins. 1:35:21.880 --> 1:35:24.519 If you don't know Thomas Jenkins, he's a winger for Penrith. 1:35:24.560 --> 1:35:28.040 He scored three tries on the weekend. Yeah, he's been 1:35:28.080 --> 1:35:30.040 bored in the camp as an extra training body to 1:35:30.080 --> 1:35:33.200 help the Blues prepared. So what a dream come true 1:35:33.280 --> 1:35:36.719 for young they call him Milkie. He's Milkie buddy. 1:35:38.000 --> 1:35:40.040 I heard the backstory about Milky on the weekend and 1:35:40.360 --> 1:35:41.920 so he played with the Knights last year. Was a 1:35:41.960 --> 1:35:44.240 fringe player son. 1:35:44.560 --> 1:35:46.439 Yeah, he come from he's. 1:35:46.479 --> 1:35:50.400 Penrith junior who came from down south Birawong I think 1:35:50.439 --> 1:35:52.240 somewhere like there and he come up to Penrith, played 1:35:52.240 --> 1:35:55.120 with Penrith, then with the Newcastle try and play first grade. 1:35:55.920 --> 1:35:57.559 I think he played one or two first grade games 1:35:57.600 --> 1:35:59.320 and that was it. This year he went to some 1:35:59.479 --> 1:36:02.400 Mary's feed the club four Penrith or junior rugby league 1:36:02.400 --> 1:36:05.800 club that's right next to Penroth, played train there. Ivan 1:36:05.840 --> 1:36:08.400 Cleary apparently heard how good he was training and brought 1:36:08.439 --> 1:36:10.520 him straight up to Penrith. So he's been a fantastic 1:36:11.080 --> 1:36:13.120 signing for the Panthers this year. The second coming of 1:36:13.600 --> 1:36:16.360 the Milkman has been fantastic and it couldn't have happened 1:36:16.360 --> 1:36:16.840 to a better Blake. 1:36:17.080 --> 1:36:18.760 He's a great character of the game and I love 1:36:18.800 --> 1:36:19.439 the way he plays. 1:36:20.160 --> 1:36:22.679 Yeah, post rugid league, it's important that rugby league players 1:36:23.160 --> 1:36:25.800 you build a career post rgy league, easy looking to 1:36:25.840 --> 1:36:26.719 become a milkman. 1:36:27.680 --> 1:36:31.720 Milkman, remember I remember remember the day when we I 1:36:31.800 --> 1:36:33.880 don't know if I'm showing my age here, but you 1:36:33.960 --> 1:36:36.240 hear the milkman coming, you put like you put four 1:36:36.320 --> 1:36:37.760 or five bucks under the milk, and you hear the 1:36:38.120 --> 1:36:40.040 railing of the rattling of the bottles, and you go 1:36:40.320 --> 1:36:42.320 the milkman's come, let's go and get the fresh milk 1:36:42.320 --> 1:36:42.920 out from the front. 1:36:43.200 --> 1:36:46.000 The front yard was not anymore. You just go down 1:36:46.000 --> 1:36:47.240 to the local showing center. 1:36:48.000 --> 1:36:49.559 I know we're going off topic here a little bit, MG, 1:36:49.680 --> 1:36:51.120 but I think when I was a kid, when I 1:36:51.200 --> 1:36:52.920 was a really young kid, I think we may have 1:36:53.000 --> 1:36:53.960 had a bread man too. 1:36:54.120 --> 1:36:54.559 Yes, we did. 1:36:54.640 --> 1:36:57.799 The baker who would deliver the bread baker, Yeah, Heathcake. 1:36:57.840 --> 1:36:59.240 There was a breadman who came under the streets to 1:36:59.240 --> 1:36:59.639 heath Cake. 1:36:59.760 --> 1:37:02.400 Well, I'm fifty six, so that was right up my own. 1:37:02.680 --> 1:37:06.000 We also used to have a soft drink man who crystals, 1:37:06.200 --> 1:37:09.920 who would bring around created crates of lemonade and coke 1:37:09.960 --> 1:37:12.800 and fanna and drop him off by the crate. 1:37:13.080 --> 1:37:16.000 The crate four and this one's before our time. You 1:37:16.120 --> 1:37:17.800 used to have an ice box man, so before they 1:37:17.840 --> 1:37:18.760 had refrigerators. 1:37:18.880 --> 1:37:19.040 Yep. 1:37:19.160 --> 1:37:20.720 Now, John Stanley used to tell me about this when 1:37:20.800 --> 1:37:24.280 John Stanley was eat be in the street and people 1:37:24.280 --> 1:37:25.920 would knock on the house in the Inner West with 1:37:26.000 --> 1:37:27.960 the ice box because John didn't have a fridge. 1:37:28.040 --> 1:37:30.439 I remember the something I did the other night. For 1:37:30.479 --> 1:37:33.240 the first time in a long time. I was sitting 1:37:33.280 --> 1:37:35.480 there at home and we heard I heard the dingling 1:37:36.240 --> 1:37:39.840 l the ice cream man. I jumped the car, went 1:37:39.880 --> 1:37:42.640 to to whippy. Now these days they saw him in 1:37:42.680 --> 1:37:45.240 the boxes. They don't sell them like the ice creams. 1:37:45.600 --> 1:37:48.200 I said, can I get a drumstick? You gotta buy 1:37:48.240 --> 1:37:48.800 twelve point? 1:37:48.880 --> 1:37:51.439 What I so? 1:37:51.479 --> 1:37:52.639 I bought twelve? Yeah, I did. 1:37:53.000 --> 1:37:55.200 You just said, Look I spoke about this little leader 1:37:55.200 --> 1:37:58.559 in the program. I think the icy C, the international 1:37:58.600 --> 1:38:01.200 gathering body for cricket, has done it so for real disservice, Yes, 1:38:01.520 --> 1:38:04.280 by selling their rights to Amazon Prime. I completely get 1:38:04.320 --> 1:38:06.360 that we need to fund top level sport, but I 1:38:06.400 --> 1:38:07.800 think a lot of people are going to miss out 1:38:07.840 --> 1:38:10.320 seeing this final between Australia and South Africa. 1:38:10.360 --> 1:38:13.080 Is not You wouldn't even know it's on. To be honest, 1:38:13.880 --> 1:38:16.080 this is one of the you know, this is one 1:38:16.080 --> 1:38:19.280 of the biggest test matches of the year. South Africa 1:38:19.320 --> 1:38:21.519 have come from nowhere to play Australia, who are always 1:38:21.920 --> 1:38:22.960 one of the favorites. 1:38:22.640 --> 1:38:23.360 To make this final. 1:38:23.880 --> 1:38:26.800 India obviously the other favorites along with England, but South 1:38:26.800 --> 1:38:29.920 Africa have had a really good test series, may mind 1:38:29.960 --> 1:38:33.000 you against lesser teams than an Australia place, but still 1:38:33.320 --> 1:38:35.000 they find themselves in the final. But you wouldn't know 1:38:35.000 --> 1:38:37.720 it's on. It's on tonight at seven thirty on Amazon Prime. 1:38:37.760 --> 1:38:39.680 And if you don't have that, you can't watch it. 1:38:39.760 --> 1:38:42.880 I've I thought to myself today and you were going 1:38:42.920 --> 1:38:46.080 to speak about this. I've got Foxtel, I've got Stan yep, 1:38:46.360 --> 1:38:49.960 I've got Disney Plus, I've got Paramount, I've got Prime, Amazon, 1:38:50.080 --> 1:38:53.600 I've got this new one called Max I mean, and 1:38:53.640 --> 1:38:55.960 I'm wondering where all my money's starting to go. It's 1:38:56.000 --> 1:38:58.400 in subscriptions. At the moment, I've got eight subscriptions to 1:38:58.439 --> 1:38:59.000 different things. 1:39:00.200 --> 1:39:04.080 We've got Netflix yep, We've got Stand and I should 1:39:04.120 --> 1:39:06.160 football disclosure. I actually don't pay for Stand because of 1:39:06.160 --> 1:39:10.519 the company that I work for. We have Disney because 1:39:10.640 --> 1:39:12.120 my wife and the kids they like to watch all 1:39:12.120 --> 1:39:13.880 those Marvel movies and they used to watch all the 1:39:13.920 --> 1:39:16.200 Star Wars stuff. The point is that it doesn't matter 1:39:16.240 --> 1:39:18.760 if it's Netflix, stand whatever it is. You've got to 1:39:18.840 --> 1:39:20.960 draw the line somewhere. You can't subscribe to them all. 1:39:21.040 --> 1:39:23.799 And I just think it. And I understand that sports 1:39:23.880 --> 1:39:26.400 need to do their best financially, but long term, I 1:39:26.479 --> 1:39:29.320 think they may be shooting themselves in the foot. What happens, 1:39:29.360 --> 1:39:30.760 particularly with primary. 1:39:30.720 --> 1:39:32.760 Whatever is ruberly goes a Netflix are something like they're 1:39:32.760 --> 1:39:34.639 being rumored to be having Well, what if that happens, 1:39:34.960 --> 1:39:38.360 then all the grassroots people who love this sport it 1:39:38.400 --> 1:39:40.160 can't afford a next Netflix account. 1:39:41.640 --> 1:39:44.559 The argument is, there is an argument because the subscription 1:39:44.640 --> 1:39:46.559 services you can come and go pretty much as you please, 1:39:46.560 --> 1:39:49.519 which you know, great. But if you're just a passing fan, 1:39:49.560 --> 1:39:52.439 if you're a casual fan of cricket, you're not going 1:39:52.479 --> 1:39:54.720 to just subscribe to Amazon forit tonight. But if you 1:39:54.800 --> 1:39:56.800 were a casual fan and it was on free to 1:39:56.840 --> 1:39:57.960 where it can be anything. It doesn't have to be 1:39:58.000 --> 1:40:00.240 our network, any of the networks. It's on it seven 1:40:00.280 --> 1:40:03.320 thirty tonight, it's on primetime, you might tune in and go, 1:40:03.600 --> 1:40:05.400 oh wow, this is good. 1:40:05.439 --> 1:40:06.719 I agree, I agree, buddy. 1:40:06.960 --> 1:40:09.960 Yeah, just before you run, yep, I know you've brought 1:40:10.000 --> 1:40:11.639 your socks in the day.

She noticed my black socks. She's 1:41:01.920 --> 1:41:04.120 a little bit concerned about the state of my black sox. 1:41:05.200 --> 1:41:06.160 There are a few holes in the. 1:41:07.640 --> 1:41:07.880 Listen. 1:41:07.960 --> 1:41:10.080 I heard you talking earlier about potholes and stuff.
