Clinton mainae with you one three, one 0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:21.360 eight seven three hang on. I actually didn't realize it 0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:25.079 was Friday the thirteenth today. I'm not superstitious, but let 0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:27.160 me tell I'm glad my football team played last night 0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:30.440 rather than tonight. A trend has actually emerged in recent years. 0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:33.440 I was reading that tattoo parlors all over the world 0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:36.920 they now have a policy of closing on Friday the thirteenth. 0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:38.839 So if you want to get a tattoo this afternoon, 0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:40.839 you're probably out of luck. Plenty coming up on a 0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:43.720 pack program for you. The state's Treasurer, Daniel Mookie will 0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:45.040 be on the program.

And I 0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:51.960 use this on an opportunity to give you the chance 0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:55.040 to ask him questions. If there is something you believe 0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:57.400 our government, the state government should be spending money on. 0:00:57.920 --> 0:00:59.959 Let me know if there's some areas you believe when 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:02.040 need to cut back because the government is actually in 0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:04.720 deficit at the moment, send me a text message zero 0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:07.280 force like zero eight seven three out seven three two 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:09.479 gb dot comfur emails and we'll put some of those 0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:12.400 questions to the treasurer. After four o'clock, Mark Guyre on 0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:15.080 the program. After five thirty we'll go through our NRL tips. 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:17.520 A real legend of music is on the show today. 0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:20.480 I'm looking forward to this. Tim Finn, the founder of 0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:22.400 Split Ends, and of course he was in credit House 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:24.080 for a couple of albums with his brother as well. 0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:27.080 Tim Finn after four point thirty at a fabulous prize 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:28.800 to give away a one hundred dollars about you to 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:31.360 spend at Bankstown Sports Club. You are my eyes and 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:33.560 ears when it's happening in Sydney now, so send me 0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:35.920 a text message zero force x zero eight seven three 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:45.920 eight seven three our number one three one eight seven three. 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:50.720 Well in Sydney now. Two men are in custody, police 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:54.760 custody after they've been charged over a significant cocaine syndicate 0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:57.800 that there is a real twist to this story. Detective 0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:00.040 Superintendent Peter Foe, the commander of the State Crime in 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.440 Commands Organized Crime Squad, joins me. This is quite a 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:05.919 curious story. What's happened here? 0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:09.200 Yeah, thanks Clinton for having me. Yeah, you're right, it 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:12.240 is very interesting and a little bit out of the norm. 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:15.520 But essentially, we've got a number of Colombians who have 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:18.960 come here to Sydney during the month of May, over 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:24.080 different days, and we've been monitoring those people, believing they 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:28.320 are here to sell large pointies of cocaine. We executed 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:30.640 a search on on Wednesday, and during the search RN 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:34.720 we found ten blocks of white compressed powder that appeared 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:39.480 to be cocaine, and further analysis of that powder indicated 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:44.200 it actually wasn't cocaine. So these people were here selling 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:48.239 to a number of different organized crime networks white powder 0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:50.560 which they were purporting to be cocaine and actually wasn't. 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:53.760 So essentially they're frauding these organized crime groups. 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:57.760 Now, not to say that those who consume cocaine are 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:00.880 doing anything good for their health, but if somebody was 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:03.359 to buy this what they thought was cocaine but is 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:07.560 actually another white powder, would this potentially pose a significant 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:08.399 health risk as well. 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:11.520 Look, i'd suggest it wouldn't be good for you, but 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:17.200 it's predominantly just normal white powders and crystals that you 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:20.239 can buy from the shelf, So you know, they're not lethal. 0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:23.160 It's not a lethal combination by no means, so that's 0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:26.400 not a risk in relation to that. But I mean 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:30.280 the biggest risk around this is to the people buying 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:32.720 this thinking it's cocaine and then on selling it and 0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:36.160 it's actually not cocaine. It creates in the minds of 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:39.880 the people purchasing it they've been essentially ripped off by 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:42.480 an organized crime group, which creates the conflict. And that's 0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:45.360 our biggest concern, and that's the success of this story 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:48.680 is stopping the conflict around what would have occurred out 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:52.600 of these people, you know, the drug rips and the 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:53.800 confrontation around that. 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:56.120 Well, so much of what a Task Force Falcon is 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:58.520 now investigating is about just that these game wars that 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:00.440 we've seen break out in the streets see the Often 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:02.960 it's about turf, but it's also about these conflicts between 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:03.440 these groups. 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:07.240 Yeah, I don't think there's any hiding that that most 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:10.280 of the conflict and the violence on the streets is 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:14.800 around in terms of the organized crime conflict is drug related. 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:18.719 So this essentially is exactly that these people have come 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:22.200 here and they've obviously seen an opportunity to make very 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:26.880 large amounts of money and sell this inner powder purporting 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:30.039 to be cocaine and to these groups who then on 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:33.279 sell it thinking it's cocaine, and then the conflict flows 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:33.560 from that. 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:35.600 A sixty one year old man charged along with a 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:38.279 twenty seven year old Congratulations, excellent detective work. 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:39.480 Thank you, no problems. 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:41.440 Thanks m Detective Superintendent Pedofo. 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:45.000 If it's happening in Sydney, you'll hear it on Sydney 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:47.279 Now with Clinton Man on t. 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:50.840 GB eleven past three. Australia is calling on a diplomatic 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:54.039 solution to the impending war, and that's what's shaping between 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:56.480 Israel and Iran. Explosions. Have you been following throughout the 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.640 day of course of rung out across the capital Tyran, 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:04.560 Israel is targeting military facilities. Now is Iralian State TV 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:07.480 is reporting the chief of the Revolutionary Guard has been 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:09.720 killed in the strike that hit the headquarters of the 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:13.440 branch of the Iranian Armed Forces. The Israelid leader Benjamin Etna, 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:17.080 who says he is protecting his country but also the 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:18.159 broader world. 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:21.919 Israel will never allow those who call for our annihilation 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:26.080 to develop the means to achieve that goal. Tonight, Israel 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:29.880 backs those words with action. We struck at the heart 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:33.360 of Iran's nuclear enrichment program. We struck at the heart 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:38.719 of Iran's nuclear weaponization program. We targeted Iran's main enrichment 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:43.520 facility in Atans. We targeted Iran's leading nuclear scientists working 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:46.120 on the Iranian bomb. We also struck at the heart 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:51.120 of Iran's ballistic missile program. Last year, Iran fired three 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:55.680 hundred ballistic missiles at Israel. Each of these missiles carries 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:59.680 a ton of explosives and threatens the lives of hundreds 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:04.040 of people. Soon, those missiles could carry a nuclear payload, 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:08.640 threatening the lives not of hundreds, but of millions. Iran 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:12.120 is gearing up to produce ten thousands of those ballistic 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:14.120 missiles within three years. 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:15.440 Now. 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:20.640 Just imagine imagine ten thousand tons of TNT landing on 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:24.640 a country the size of New Jersey. This is an 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:29.080 intolerable threat. It too must be stopped. Iran is now 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:32.800 working on what it caused, the new plan to destroy Israel. 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:36.760 Benjamin Netanya, who our foreign mister Penny Wong, has responded. 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:40.520 These risks further destabilizing a region that is already volatile. 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:44.120 We call on all parties to a refrain from actions 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:48.840 and rhetoric and will further would further exacerbate tensions, and 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:53.320 we urge the parties to prioritize dialogue and diplomacy. We 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:58.760 all understand the threat of Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:02.560 program presents a threat to the international to international peace 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:03.240 and security. 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:07.240 Penny Wong now, Iran has promised a harsh response that 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:10.360 hasn't occurred yet. They say they may well restrict oil 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:14.840 to the rest of the world. Our Prime Minister Anthony 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:18.200 Abernizi has arrived in Fiji in the past hour. He 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:21.160 has been greeted by a Fijian honor guard. He has 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:24.320 inspected the military. This is as part of his travel 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:26.640 to the G seven. So he is on his way 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:29.400 to the United States, but he's visiting three countries on 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:32.120 this trip. He is about to hold talks with the 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:36.040 Fijian leader. Said of Any Ram Booker and mister Albinizi says, 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:38.360 it's vital that we show commitment to the Pacific. Years 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:41.440 highlighted various trade deals and security ties that we have 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:43.800 in the region. But what is critical about this trip 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:46.240 is not so much the whistle stop tour of Fiji. 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:48.560 It's what's going to happen in the United States. As 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:51.600 of now, he still has not been un of confirm 0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:54.480 that he will hold a meeting with Donald Trump. And 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:57.119 given the orcus situation of the past forty eight hours, 0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:58.760 a meeting with mister Trump is crucial. 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:04.000 This is Sydney now with Clinton Maynard on two GB 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:07.960 call now one three one seven three. 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:11.280 Well in Sydney.

This is Sydney now. 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:35.280 It's fourteen degrees on the coast, fifteen degrees in Penrith 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:36.760 at the moment. There is the chance of a couple 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:39.720 of showers to start the weekend tomorrow, but Sunday should 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:42.360 be driving a little bit cloudy on Sunday. Now. There 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:44.520 will be decision at four point thirty from the Fair 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:48.000 Work Commission about the dispute the ongoing to speak between 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:50.840 the unions and the state government on Sydney's train network. 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:53.080 Now when I say this is an ongoing dispute between 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:55.800 the rail unions, well, the Rail, Tram and BUST union 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:57.720 has agreed to the deal that's been put to them 0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:00.400 by the state government through the Fair Work Commission for 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:03.120 a pay rise, a twelve percent pay rise over three years. 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:04.800 It's more than the state government wanted to pay, but 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:07.480 it's a lot less than the unions originally seeking. The 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:10.920 problem they've got is the ETU, which only makes up 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:14.080 about eight hundred odd workers on the Sydney network, is 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:16.640 holding out. Not so much over the pay, that's part 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:19.440 of it, but there's basically a demarcation dispute between the 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:22.320 two unions and it's about job titles of different workers. 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:27.360 What both the RTBU and Sydney Trains they're now on 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:30.160 the same side. They want the Fair Work Commission to 0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:32.200 make an order at four point thirty this afternoon that 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:34.920 all the union members and there are about nine thousand 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:38.000 of them in total, vote on whether to accept this 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:39.839 deal or not. Don't just leave it up to the 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:42.600 union management. Because the RTBU, they have aut eight thousand 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:46.760 members THETU about eight hundred members. So the confidence is 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:49.240 if the Fair Work Commission says put it to a 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:52.320 vote of the workers, it'll be successful that I'll wan 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:54.880 the deal go through and perhaps once we can forget 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:57.680 about industrial action for just a little while on Sydney's trains, 0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:01.640 wouldn't that be good? Unfortunately, the commuters of Sydney don't 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:04.000 get a vote. I reckon we probably should. 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:07.800 Be a part of Sydney. Now with Clinton, Maynard called 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:08.720 one three one. 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:11.599 Eight twenty four past three. Did you hear about the 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:16.079 arrest of motorbike rider who used social media to brag 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:19.120 about what he was doing. This is a motorbike rider 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:22.040 who has been charged by the police over several pursuits 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:24.880 from Woollongong. He's been before the courts today and I 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:27.200 actually think what this shows is what the federal government 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:30.600 is trying to do with restricting kids accessing social media 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:32.800 is a step in the right direction. Now, I actually 0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:35.160 don't think as the father of three teenagers, I don't 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:37.800 think this is the ultimate solution to protecting our kids 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:41.000 from social media. They'll still get around it. But hear 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:42.559 me out why I think this is an example of 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:46.439 why this is necessary. This bloke is thirty three. It's 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:49.200 alleged he was involved in several high speed pursuits with 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:52.240 police this week on his motorbike around Woollongong and the 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:56.800 South Coast. He's accused of filming using a camera on 0:13:56.840 --> 0:14:00.080 his helmet while he's been chased by the cops and 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:03.319 then posting the footage on social media. Clearly the sharpest 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:04.840 tool in the shed. I mean, if you think about it, 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:06.640 you don't want to get in trouble with the police, 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:10.520 so you're allegedly speeding away from them, but you put 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:13.800 the video on the Internet. I wouldn't have thought that 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.000 was too smart. Nevertheless, that will play out in the courts. 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:18.880 On Wednesday, he's accused of leading police on a pursuit 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:22.000 in Albion Park, SO in the Wollongong region, reaching speeds 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:24.720 of up to two hundred kilometers. An hour later, he 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:27.800 was accused of leading police on another chase. He was 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:32.479 then arrested at Killaney Heights, SO in Sydney. Police seized cocaine, 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:36.560 They raided his home, they seized more evidence. Police alleging 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:39.880 court during one of the pursuits, he used a helmet 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:43.720 camera to film the chase, reaching speeds of wait for it, 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:47.120 two hundred and ninety nine kilometers an hour. Okay, so 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:50.760 this bloke is thirty three years of age. Part of 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:54.520 the issue with social media is idiots using the platform 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:59.200 to gain notoriety, to gain clicks and likes. It's the 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.280 same as kids as as young as twelve, for instance, 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:06.080 in towns like Mare in the West, breaking into homes 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:10.640 while people are asleep inside, stealing their keys, then taking 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:13.640 their cars, and there's evidence and this is also plaid 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:14.960 out in the courts as well in the last couple 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:18.320 of months of these kids filming their crimes and then 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:21.680 posting it on social media. It's the same with teenagers 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:24.120 who jump on the roof of a train or they 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:26.520 cling onto the back of a train carriage. It's called buffering. 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:30.360 Why are they doing it because they're filming it, posting 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:33.200 it on Snapchat, posting it on Instagram, one of the 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:36.560 social media platforms. Why do they do it to get likes, 0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:40.200 to get notoriety. It's part of this motivation to becomes 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:43.560 some sort of social media celebrity by doing crazy things. 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:46.400 Now the government reducing the age that kids can access 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:49.200 social media, it's not going to stop it all plenty 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:51.320 of kids are still going to access these things because 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:54.320 they're smarter than governments and smarter than the law. But 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:56.120 this is a start, I reckon. I think it's going 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:58.840 to help parents at least have that conversation with kids 0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:01.640 that they can't legally be doing this stuff, and then 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:04.720 that may have the impact of discouraging some of these 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:09.760 children from performing crazy stunts on social media, and then 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:12.520 maybe as they grow up and they reach their thirties, 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:14.960 for instance, they won't think, Hey, I've got a great idea. 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:16.880 I'm going to jump on my motorbike speed away from 0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:18.480 the cops at two hundred and ninety nine k's an 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:23.120 hour and film it not too smart. Messages coming through 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:25.720 about social media and crazy stunts and from one of 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:28.480 my listeners, we were doing crazy stunts without social media. 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:30.440 Why is social media the problem? Well, I'll tell you why, 0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:32.280 because the number of people. I'll just take the train 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:35.440 network for instance, the police have confirmed there's been a 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:38.040 massive increase in the last five years about the number 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:41.200 of teenagers they're finding jumping onto the back of train 0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:42.520 carriages hanging on. 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:43.400 Now. 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:44.960 I know this did happen when I was a kid 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:47.000 as well, but it's not in the numbers. It's happening 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:49.760 at the moment and they're doing it because they're trying 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:52.120 to get likes on social media. Well, Linda says, why 0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:54.960 don't the authorities just confiscate the mobile phones of lunatics 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:58.800 who film themselves and broadcast their dangerous criminal activities. Well, 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:01.360 there is new legislation that was introduced by the state 0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:04.320 government about six months ago to actually make it a 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:08.119 crime to film such stunts on social media, so they 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:10.439 can be charged over it, and confiscation could be a 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:12.680 decision for the courts. Peter Ford coming up in a moment, 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:15.119 mel Brooks making a comeback to the screen at the 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:17.880 age of ninety nine. But firstly, let's check in his headlines, 0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:23.400 and we've got the latest. Good afternoon, Katie. 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:24.800 Fourer, Good afternoon, Clinton. 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:28.240 Two men have been charged and police say more arrests 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:31.280 maybe on the way as they investigate the sale of 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:35.720 fake cocaine in Sydney. It's alleged as South American syndicate 0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:40.080 sold sugar, caffeine and other powders disguised as the drug 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:44.159 for about ninety thousand dollars a kilogram. A review of 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:48.880 last year's Deadly's Sydney Hobart Yacht Race has sparked several changes. 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:52.960 The Cruising Yacht Club says there will be stricter qualification protocols, 0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:58.200 better education and improved racing updates. Prime Minister Anthony Albanesi 0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:01.399 has arrived in Fiji, where he'll soon hold economic and 0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:05.800 security talks with his counterpart, and the Australian National University 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:08.280 will trial a jug which could be used to fight 0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:12.639 several different cancers. It targets a specific protein linked to 0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:16.040 the development of different forms of the disease, including blood, 0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:19.600 breast and prostate cancer. In sport, the Knights have re 0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:23.240 signed exciting rookie Fletcher Hunt to a new two year deal. 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:25.720 The Flying winger will remain at the club until the 0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:29.400 end of the twenty twenty seven NRL season. Clinton More 0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:30.840 News at four Think Katie. 0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:33.679 Good news about Fletcher Hunt. He probably has maybe the 0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:36.800 best mullet in rugby league. He competes with his teammate 0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:40.199 Fletcher Sharp in the mullet stakes. Oil prices have increased 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:43.159 by almost ten percent. The Australian dollar is also weaker 0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:46.359 as a result of what's occurring between Israel and Iran. 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:49.919 Local currencies buying just under sixty five US cents. But 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:51.560 the concern is going to be what's going to happen 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:54.800 with our petrol prices. As you know, the service stations 0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:57.680 seem to pass on those world oil price increases fairly quickly, 0:18:57.680 --> 0:19:01.280 not necessarily. When they go down, is jumping by ten percent, 0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:03.440 will no doubt mean that bowser prices will rise in 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:04.320 the next couple of days. 0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:05.440 If it matters to. 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:08.640 You, you'll hear it here and Sydney now with Clinton 0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:09.880 Maynard until six. 0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:13.120 Neil Brooks is making a comeback to movies. Peter Ford 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:15.960 with all the details. Good afternoon, Peter, hell a Clinton. 0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:17.840 Well, I'll tell you what this hope for us all 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:20.720 because at the age of well, he's almost ninety nine. 0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:23.919 He's going to be appearing in space Balls too, and 0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:26.280 it's forty years ago since the first one. It was 0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:28.880 very much a stend up of the Star Wars hit 0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:32.320 movie of the time. And this is now going into 0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:34.760 full production. A Mel's not going to direct it. I 0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:37.199 think he's going to co write it. But by the 0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:40.320 time they start filming it, he'll be ninety nine. By 0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:42.560 the time it comes out, he will be one hundred 0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:45.040 years old and they put out a video of this 0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:47.920 morning at tea. What he looks great. He looks so 0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:51.399 sharp and funny still and I'm looking forward to seeing it. 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:52.160 But he doesn't. 0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:54.600 That's no kind of record. I might add, there was 0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:58.360 a woman called Jeane Calmet appeared in the film when 0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:02.480 she was one hundred and four team years, so top 0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:03.000 that one. 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:04.879 Now, well, he must be doing pretty well. But it 0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:06.680 might not be a record with age there for for 0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:09.360 an actor. But in terms of the amount of time 0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:12.480 between a sequel and the original forty years, you don't 0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:13.760 usually get a forty year gap. 0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:16.520 And no, you won't be accused of rushing back too 0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:18.840 soon to the well, would you? But good luck to them. 0:20:18.880 --> 0:20:23.920 I mean, it's often sequels, of course disastrous. But let's 0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:26.040 hope this one isn't. Let's hope it's a great way. 0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:29.359 Presumably it may be Mel's last ever movie, but who knows. 0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:32.119 For people who know Mel's work, it's it's kind of 0:20:32.119 --> 0:20:34.840 funny because one of his most famous sketches, which you 0:20:34.840 --> 0:20:37.240 can watch on YouTube back in the old days, was 0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:40.399 a sketch called the two thousand year Old Man, in 0:20:40.440 --> 0:20:42.680 which he played a two thousand year old man. Well, 0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:44.840 he's got a way to go, but at least he's. 0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:45.280 On the way. 0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:48.360 Good on him as Spaceballs too coming to cinemas near you. 0:20:48.520 --> 0:20:52.280 Mike Love has played a beautiful tribute to Brian Wilson. 0:20:52.480 --> 0:20:53.560 They found with the tee. 0:20:54.080 --> 0:20:57.240 We've just seen some extraordinary I can't think of another 0:20:57.840 --> 0:21:01.919 death where so many famous legy people have made a 0:21:01.920 --> 0:21:05.480 point of wanting to go out and pay tribute to someone. 0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:10.840 And recurring theme has almost been the inspiration that Brian 0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:14.359 was and also the fact that the music that he 0:21:14.440 --> 0:21:17.640 created was so unique. But Mike Love has posted now 0:21:17.920 --> 0:21:20.080 Mike Love of course one of the original Beach Boys, 0:21:20.080 --> 0:21:22.240 and he still goes out on the road as a 0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:24.679 group called the Beach Boys, even though he's obviously the 0:21:24.720 --> 0:21:29.000 only original one. But they did have a very fractured relationship, 0:21:29.400 --> 0:21:32.320 very much so, I think more so from Brian's point 0:21:32.320 --> 0:21:35.040 of view, but without wanting to be mean. When you 0:21:35.359 --> 0:21:39.480 do have friendships or relationsships with people who have mental 0:21:39.520 --> 0:21:42.159 health issues, it can be very difficult. They can be 0:21:42.240 --> 0:21:44.719 very challenging, they can turn on you, all that kind 0:21:44.760 --> 0:21:47.159 of thing, And it did seem to me that the 0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:51.080 agro was much more from Brian towards Mike than reverse. 0:21:51.160 --> 0:21:53.639 But he wrote quite a lengthy piece. But this is 0:21:53.640 --> 0:21:55.320 at the very end of it, which I thought was 0:21:55.359 --> 0:21:58.919 so sweet. At the very end, he says, thank you 0:21:59.000 --> 0:22:02.680 for the harmonies, the memories and the love. Death leaves 0:22:02.720 --> 0:22:06.400 a heartache, no one can heal. Love leaves a memory, 0:22:06.800 --> 0:22:10.639 no one can steal. I miss you forever, my beloved cousin. 0:22:10.760 --> 0:22:11.040 Mike. 0:22:11.640 --> 0:22:14.240 Oh, that's really beautiful, Peter, really nice. 0:22:14.640 --> 0:22:15.920 Yeah, lovely words, aren't they. 0:22:16.040 --> 0:22:19.119 Pete will talk next week. See that entertained report of 0:22:19.160 --> 0:22:20.720 Peter Ford become. 0:22:21.480 --> 0:22:22.000 John be. 0:22:23.640 --> 0:22:39.359 My grandfathery Brown dear got into a five. 0:22:42.240 --> 0:22:46.399 Well, that fear is so both. I want to go. 0:22:47.960 --> 0:22:50.800 These days, the success of music's very much measured by 0:22:50.800 --> 0:22:55.800 Spotify plays. Could you imagine when Spotify releases the statistics 0:22:55.800 --> 0:22:58.199 probably the next couple of weeks on the number of 0:22:58.280 --> 0:23:01.200 Beach Boys tracks each These songs that have been listened 0:23:01.200 --> 0:23:04.840 to over the last twenty four hours maywell set some 0:23:04.920 --> 0:23:07.840 new records. Now talking about music later in the program, 0:23:07.880 --> 0:23:09.840 really excited about this, and about now is time I'm 0:23:09.840 --> 0:23:12.520 going to speak with Tim Finn. Tim Finn, the founder 0:23:12.720 --> 0:23:15.240 have split ends and have very successful He's had a 0:23:15.320 --> 0:23:17.520 very successful solo career as well. It's forty years since 0:23:17.520 --> 0:23:21.560 he released his deboo solo album, which featured hits like Fractions, 0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:23.720 Too Much Friction on It and of course a big 0:23:23.760 --> 0:23:25.560 part over the years of Crowded House with his brother 0:23:25.600 --> 0:23:28.440 as well. Neil so Tim Finn my special guest. After 0:23:28.440 --> 0:23:31.720 four point thirty this afternoon, it's eighteen to six four. 0:23:32.119 --> 0:23:34.000 A man in his forties is still being treated in 0:23:34.000 --> 0:23:37.600 Liverpool Hospital after a mining accident this morning in Appen. 0:23:38.119 --> 0:23:40.560 Paramedics were called to the GM three app And West 0:23:40.560 --> 0:23:44.280 Colliery in Douglas Park. The miner underground. He's in his 0:23:44.359 --> 0:23:47.439 forties had been injured, so understood. He suffered what they 0:23:47.480 --> 0:23:50.359 call crushing injuries and it took quite a little while 0:23:50.400 --> 0:23:52.959 to extricate him and to bring him to the service. 0:23:53.000 --> 0:23:54.480 And he was brought to the service not by the 0:23:54.480 --> 0:23:57.399 paramedics but by other workers. He has suffered back and 0:23:57.480 --> 0:24:00.959 neck injuries. He's now in Liverpool Hospital in a stable condition. 0:24:01.160 --> 0:24:03.040 Word on the street thanks to Temper a great night's 0:24:03.040 --> 0:24:05.480 sleep night after night. The difference is Temper. If there's 0:24:05.480 --> 0:24:08.080 something you'd like us to investigate, send me a message 0:24:08.200 --> 0:24:09.800 via email over the weekend and we can have a 0:24:09.800 --> 0:24:11.680 look at it next week. Go to two GB dot 0:24:11.680 --> 0:24:13.800 com for emails. You can text me as well zero 0:24:13.840 --> 0:24:17.280 force zero eight seven three eight seven three. The revelations 0:24:17.320 --> 0:24:20.719 we made yesterday about electric buses in Sydney came from 0:24:20.760 --> 0:24:23.520 a tip off via word on the street, and that 0:24:23.600 --> 0:24:25.760 was the confirmation from Transport for New South Wales that 0:24:25.800 --> 0:24:29.480 more than seventy buses that have been manufactured in Saint 0:24:29.520 --> 0:24:32.719 Mary's by Custom Denning have been off the road because 0:24:32.880 --> 0:24:36.600 their batteries aren't working properly, so they need a replacement battery. 0:24:36.640 --> 0:24:38.520 That the batteries are from Europe, they're having to source 0:24:38.560 --> 0:24:42.280 new ones, so there's only two that have been fixed 0:24:42.359 --> 0:24:45.879 so far. So all these buses are either in storage 0:24:45.960 --> 0:24:48.680 in depots or at the Saint Mary's workshop. I have 0:24:48.840 --> 0:24:52.760 been contacted by another manufacturer at next Port and they 0:24:52.800 --> 0:24:55.240 tell me they've managed to supply Transport for New South 0:24:55.280 --> 0:24:58.840 Wales sixty electric buses. They're now based in Leichhart and 0:24:58.880 --> 0:25:03.080 they've since traveled million of kilometers trouble free and they've 0:25:03.080 --> 0:25:05.159 found that passengers have been very happy with a surface. 0:25:05.520 --> 0:25:08.439 So the buses that I've been talking about refer to 0:25:08.480 --> 0:25:11.600 one particular manufacturer who is now trying to fix with 0:25:11.720 --> 0:25:14.879 different batteries that are sourced overseas. There are other supplies, 0:25:15.280 --> 0:25:17.520 but the numbers of buses that are being supplied by 0:25:17.520 --> 0:25:21.199 the Australian manufacturers is overall quite small. Transport from New 0:25:21.200 --> 0:25:23.560 South Wales is seeking to convert a fleet of four 0:25:23.560 --> 0:25:27.840 thousand buses, so Nextport, for instance, only supplied sixty. So 0:25:28.040 --> 0:25:30.480 it's a drop in the ocean essentially. But the bus 0:25:30.520 --> 0:25:33.240 manufacturers are telling me that the problem is the government's 0:25:33.280 --> 0:25:36.199 not putting up money up front for orders. So the 0:25:36.200 --> 0:25:39.040 government suggests that the scale doesn't exist. But it's sort 0:25:39.040 --> 0:25:41.840 of a chicken and the egg quite problem. They need 0:25:41.880 --> 0:25:43.639 governments in the first place if they want to go 0:25:43.680 --> 0:25:46.600 ahead with this plan to convert the entire fleet to electric, 0:25:46.800 --> 0:25:48.080 to be upfront with the money. 0:25:48.640 --> 0:25:52.359 You're listening to Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard on two 0:25:52.400 --> 0:25:54.800 gb com now one three one. 0:25:54.800 --> 0:25:56.560 Eight seven three. Give me a call if you live 0:25:56.560 --> 0:25:58.040 in the Ride area. I'll be keen to hear from 0:25:58.040 --> 0:26:00.520 you on this. For years, the Council has been locked 0:26:00.520 --> 0:26:02.840 in a dispute over the future of tg MIL in 0:26:02.880 --> 0:26:05.359 the field at Massfield. I know last year Chris looked 0:26:05.359 --> 0:26:08.359 at this particular issue. Well it's popped up again this 0:26:08.440 --> 0:26:11.360 week because there has been a decision and this may 0:26:11.400 --> 0:26:13.399 well be a final decision on the future of tg 0:26:13.520 --> 0:26:16.840 MIL inn the field. There's effectively been approval for the 0:26:16.840 --> 0:26:20.719 field to be sold off redeveloped for housing. Whether this 0:26:20.800 --> 0:26:22.800 is the solution to the housing crisis is probably not 0:26:22.840 --> 0:26:26.000 going to be enough, but the local council is not happy. 0:26:26.280 --> 0:26:28.800 The City of Ride Mayor Trenton Brown joins us, so 0:26:28.880 --> 0:26:31.840 thank you for your time, Mayor. So just to give 0:26:31.840 --> 0:26:33.480 a bit a little bit of background, we did cover 0:26:33.520 --> 0:26:36.280 this on this program last year. But the tg MIL 0:26:36.280 --> 0:26:38.560 in the field, it's been used for club rugby By 0:26:38.960 --> 0:26:42.159 Eastward for years, but it is controlled by North Ryde Council. 0:26:42.240 --> 0:26:42.520 Isn't it. 0:26:44.560 --> 0:26:48.120 Aminity club on the site yes, so purchased about seven 0:26:48.200 --> 0:26:48.640 years ago. 0:26:49.080 --> 0:26:51.840 So they want to redevelop it for housing. You though, 0:26:51.920 --> 0:26:54.720 as the councilor been opposed, We certainly are. 0:26:54.800 --> 0:26:58.919 We think there is a very strong demand already and 0:26:59.000 --> 0:27:03.159 a growing demand from a growing population for open space 0:27:03.320 --> 0:27:06.800 and recreational space and active open space as well, so 0:27:06.880 --> 0:27:10.080 this is critical this six point two hectare site. 0:27:10.280 --> 0:27:12.919 But what's happened this week is a separate panel the 0:27:12.920 --> 0:27:15.280 North Sydney Planning Panel, and I know that you have 0:27:15.600 --> 0:27:17.800 members of the council part of that panel. They've actually 0:27:17.800 --> 0:27:18.919 approved the redevelopment. 0:27:20.080 --> 0:27:24.040 Unfortunately they have the same panel rejected the same application 0:27:24.160 --> 0:27:26.880 two years ago, which is odd. So I must say 0:27:26.920 --> 0:27:29.960 it's a shock decision that this is the third attempt 0:27:30.359 --> 0:27:33.320 and on the third attempt the RSL proponents have been 0:27:33.359 --> 0:27:37.120 given approval at gateway to proceed further through the gateway. 0:27:37.240 --> 0:27:39.399 So how did it just work for those that understand 0:27:39.400 --> 0:27:41.840 the planning process, how does it work with final approval? 0:27:42.280 --> 0:27:44.480 It goes over your head as the local council just 0:27:44.520 --> 0:27:45.119 to this panel. 0:27:45.760 --> 0:27:46.280 Yes it does. 0:27:46.320 --> 0:27:50.680 I mean we've been in discussions for compulsory acquisition of 0:27:50.760 --> 0:27:55.680 this site for a number of months. The previous same 0:27:55.720 --> 0:27:59.200 proposal was rejected by the independent Sydney North Planning Panel 0:27:59.240 --> 0:28:03.720 two years ago. The new submission was approved to then 0:28:03.800 --> 0:28:07.359 proceed to the next step, which is through the gateway 0:28:07.480 --> 0:28:10.000 for further approval and further submissions to be made to 0:28:10.040 --> 0:28:12.720 the state government. So this Planning Panel will become the 0:28:12.800 --> 0:28:17.960 approval authority, unless, of course, this decision only days ago 0:28:18.080 --> 0:28:21.399 is rejected by the Planning Minister. And I think the 0:28:21.400 --> 0:28:25.960 Planning Minister has unfortunately been misinformed by his own department 0:28:26.119 --> 0:28:29.080 and therefore this has led to a very bad outcome 0:28:29.119 --> 0:28:32.920 for our community. Through this approval just days ago, the. 0:28:32.840 --> 0:28:36.000 Club wants to develop about one hundred and thirty homes 0:28:36.040 --> 0:28:39.440 for seniors. All the councils across Sydney under a lot 0:28:39.440 --> 0:28:42.800 of pressure from the Planning Minister, Paul Scully to approve developments. 0:28:43.720 --> 0:28:46.160 If you don't, if you keep opposing, this isn't the 0:28:46.160 --> 0:28:47.760 state government that it's going to turn to you and say, well, 0:28:47.760 --> 0:28:49.600 you're going to have to find another oval that we redevelop. 0:28:50.560 --> 0:28:52.720 Well, look, I think what the state government need to 0:28:52.760 --> 0:28:54.600 do is understand that they need to step into the 0:28:54.600 --> 0:28:57.920 conversation and strike the right balance between not just an 0:28:58.000 --> 0:29:02.560 uplift in housing, but an upload in additional employment facilities 0:29:02.600 --> 0:29:05.880 and civic infrastructure like open space and parks and gardens 0:29:05.920 --> 0:29:09.160 and playing fields and additional school and hospital investments. Now 0:29:09.160 --> 0:29:12.080 they haven't done that. The City of Riode has outperformed 0:29:12.080 --> 0:29:16.080 our housing targets previously. We are highly confident of outperforming 0:29:16.720 --> 0:29:21.440 by building and approving more housing than the current period permits. 0:29:21.680 --> 0:29:24.719 We have twenty two thousand dwellings currently in the planning 0:29:24.800 --> 0:29:28.120 portal being assisted and the new housing reforms provide for 0:29:28.160 --> 0:29:31.680 an additional fifteen thousand. Now that's a total of thirty 0:29:31.760 --> 0:29:35.800 seven thousand dwellings coming in close proximity to the TG 0:29:35.880 --> 0:29:39.280 Milner fields and that makes for a very compelling proposition, 0:29:39.360 --> 0:29:43.080 which is why the argument on strategic merit was rejected 0:29:43.800 --> 0:29:46.120 just two years ago. And that's why I don't understand 0:29:46.120 --> 0:29:49.720 the most recent decision because the strategic merit case for 0:29:49.880 --> 0:29:53.600 planning approval is even more compelling today for the rejection 0:29:54.240 --> 0:29:55.320 than it was two years ago. 0:29:55.480 --> 0:29:57.600 But on the flip side, and OTG Milner has been 0:29:57.600 --> 0:30:00.640 the home of Eastwood Rugby Club fifty years. The owner's 0:30:00.720 --> 0:30:03.840 northright RSL so by selling this off similar concept to 0:30:03.840 --> 0:30:06.560 what happened with Rose Hilbert didn't go ahead. This is 0:30:06.560 --> 0:30:09.800 going to secure the Eastwood Rugby Club financially for years 0:30:09.840 --> 0:30:11.200 to come and surely that's a good thing. 0:30:12.080 --> 0:30:14.640 Well, look, the future of the Eastwood Rugby Club is 0:30:14.640 --> 0:30:18.320 completely independent of this deal whatsoever. Ride Council has made 0:30:18.320 --> 0:30:21.400 it very clear that we wish to move through compulsory acquisition. 0:30:21.800 --> 0:30:24.960 We have more than adequate funding available to purchase this 0:30:25.120 --> 0:30:27.959 site and I think the sadness is that the Uthwood 0:30:28.000 --> 0:30:30.760 Rugby Club didn't come to the Ride Council seven years 0:30:30.760 --> 0:30:33.120 ago because I think they would have already been paid 0:30:33.120 --> 0:30:35.640 for the grounds, they would have moved already and this 0:30:35.800 --> 0:30:38.640 long drawn our process could have been avoided. This is 0:30:38.680 --> 0:30:42.200 a critical site for our community and we certainly won't 0:30:42.200 --> 0:30:44.800 be changing our view or backing down in any way 0:30:44.960 --> 0:30:48.760 in our resolve to keep this as important critical open 0:30:48.800 --> 0:30:50.440 space for a booming community. 0:30:50.520 --> 0:30:52.440 Okay, where to from here? Do you seek a minister 0:30:52.560 --> 0:30:53.440 a meeting with the Minister? 0:30:53.960 --> 0:30:56.440 Well, I certainly do. I do, honestly believe the Minister 0:30:56.480 --> 0:30:58.960 has been misinformed because there's a couple of aspects to 0:30:59.000 --> 0:31:02.480 the open space and the significant housing growth in Macquarie 0:31:02.480 --> 0:31:04.959 Park and the surrounds that the Minister isn't aware of. 0:31:05.400 --> 0:31:09.880 Just days ago we were given a briefing by the 0:31:09.880 --> 0:31:15.760 Woolworth's Corporation about not taking up the incentives for open 0:31:15.800 --> 0:31:18.840 space gifted by the Planning Department, but instead they want 0:31:18.840 --> 0:31:23.080 to build a distribution center at the old Peterbord High School. Now, 0:31:23.120 --> 0:31:25.160 the Minister for Planning and the Department of Planning, I 0:31:25.160 --> 0:31:28.240 think that is potential open space for a growing community. 0:31:28.600 --> 0:31:31.360 It certainly is not. There are other areas within the 0:31:31.400 --> 0:31:34.920 Lachlands Line Precinct and mccroe Park Precinct such as the 0:31:34.960 --> 0:31:38.680 Linear Park, and other financial incentives to the private sector 0:31:38.760 --> 0:31:41.920 landowners that are simply not being taken up. So the 0:31:41.960 --> 0:31:44.560 great problem we have is will continue to outperform in 0:31:44.640 --> 0:31:48.720 housing growth, but we won't get the commensurate uplift in 0:31:48.880 --> 0:31:51.680 open space, green space and active recreation. 0:31:51.360 --> 0:31:53.520 And that trend. That is critical because if we're going 0:31:53.520 --> 0:31:55.320 to gem more people into units, doesn't matter if it's 0:31:55.360 --> 0:31:57.680 in your district, the Rod District or other parts of Sydney. 0:31:57.920 --> 0:32:01.320 We still need areas, particularly for kids to play into 0:32:01.320 --> 0:32:04.160 play sport. Thank you if you sign Mayor Clinton, the 0:32:04.160 --> 0:32:06.840 Mayor of Right Council, Trenton Brown, let me know if 0:32:06.840 --> 0:32:08.800 you live in that area, what's it like. Do you 0:32:08.920 --> 0:32:11.680 care if the oval disappearsance converted to housing and if 0:32:11.680 --> 0:32:13.160 there are other parts of Sydney where you see a 0:32:13.160 --> 0:32:15.640 similar thing happening, let me know. One three, one eight 0:32:15.720 --> 0:32:17.959 seven three. I just want to quickly cross to Marco 0:32:18.200 --> 0:32:21.360 who's just been through the airport Tunnel's some serious traffic 0:32:21.440 --> 0:32:22.719 dramas there market what's happened? 0:32:23.960 --> 0:32:27.040 Yeah, there's a five nose to tail pile up in 0:32:27.080 --> 0:32:30.080 the far right lane, but also a lot of the 0:32:30.160 --> 0:32:33.120 debris has fallen into the next lane, so both lanes, 0:32:33.160 --> 0:32:35.040 both the right hand lanes are out of action. 0:32:35.400 --> 0:32:36.760 So is that southbound? 0:32:37.880 --> 0:32:38.080 Yes? 0:32:38.160 --> 0:32:38.680 Southbound? 0:32:38.840 --> 0:32:39.120 Correct? 0:32:39.120 --> 0:32:41.040 Goodness? So yeah, it has to be southbound on a 0:32:41.040 --> 0:32:42.080 Friday afternoon, doesn't it. 0:32:43.600 --> 0:32:44.120 Definitely? 0:32:44.600 --> 0:32:45.840 By the way, I love your show. 0:32:45.640 --> 0:32:47.880 Buddy, good on your marke. I appreciate your support. So 0:32:48.120 --> 0:32:51.320 there you go, General Homes Drive. I'm driving home, General 0:32:51.320 --> 0:32:54.360 Hans Drive the night fantastic five car pile up is 0:32:54.440 --> 0:32:56.640 southbound in the Airport tunnel and the debris is actually 0:32:56.680 --> 0:32:59.080 going over several lanes, so hopefully the authorities can get 0:32:59.120 --> 0:33:02.360 in there quickly. And it's Clinton Maynard here. The weekend 0:33:02.440 --> 0:33:05.520 is almost here as well. Just recapping five car accident 0:33:05.600 --> 0:33:09.400 in the airport tunnel. So General Homes Drive, this is southbound, 0:33:09.640 --> 0:33:11.680 the worst time of the week for this to happen. 0:33:11.960 --> 0:33:14.800 There's debris across most of the lanes there through the tunnel. 0:33:14.840 --> 0:33:17.280 The emergency services are not there yet, they should be 0:33:17.320 --> 0:33:20.600 there shortly. It's fresh Food Friday thanks to our mates 0:33:20.600 --> 0:33:22.640 at Harris farm Markets and they are a proud partner 0:33:22.640 --> 0:33:24.840 of this program. Let's find out what you should be 0:33:24.840 --> 0:33:28.400 eating what's fresh this weekend? Carlos Siravollo is the head 0:33:28.440 --> 0:33:30.120 of fresh buying at Harris Farm Markets. 0:33:30.120 --> 0:33:32.720 Hello, Carlo, Hey, good afternoon, Clinton. 0:33:32.760 --> 0:33:33.280 How a we're going? 0:33:33.320 --> 0:33:35.560 I'm a little cold, It's I'm just saving. Look at 0:33:35.560 --> 0:33:37.600 the temperature now where I am. It's fourteen degrees where 0:33:37.600 --> 0:33:40.600 I am in the western suburbs, thirteen degrees in some 0:33:40.640 --> 0:33:44.600 suburbs where we grow our produce, probably even colder. Is 0:33:44.600 --> 0:33:47.120 that affecting what we can buy at Harris Farm this weekend? 0:33:47.960 --> 0:33:52.600 Yes, Unfortunately the cooler where the particularly in Queensland, which 0:33:52.600 --> 0:33:55.000 is where which is the food bowl for Australia at this. 0:33:54.960 --> 0:33:55.600 Time of the year. 0:33:55.640 --> 0:33:59.600 It hasn't been particularly cold and has slowed down production 0:33:59.680 --> 0:34:02.360 a bit. But just rest assured everyone, if we look 0:34:02.400 --> 0:34:04.680 to the sky, we're on a full moon cycle which 0:34:04.720 --> 0:34:07.920 is normally assigned with those extra daylight hours, that we 0:34:08.000 --> 0:34:10.280 are not far off from extra volumes. 0:34:09.880 --> 0:34:12.640 Coming in the market. So on the back of that moon. 0:34:12.480 --> 0:34:14.520 I suspect that we'll see some price relief. 0:34:14.280 --> 0:34:16.560 In the words to come good. What's good in fruit 0:34:16.560 --> 0:34:17.560 this weekend? 0:34:18.120 --> 0:34:20.520 Look, if we're talking for it this week strawberries, there 0:34:20.480 --> 0:34:23.040 are a number one line. They are still a little 0:34:23.040 --> 0:34:26.359 bit on the xy side, but we anticipate they'll come 0:34:26.360 --> 0:34:28.759 back as the weeks goes on and as those warmer 0:34:28.800 --> 0:34:32.319 days come through. We've got crimson seedless grapes which are 0:34:32.360 --> 0:34:35.520 magnificent eating. There's probably the only grape you consider eating 0:34:35.520 --> 0:34:38.480 it this late in the season. Bananas are great. The 0:34:38.480 --> 0:34:40.719 Australian apple season as well and truly in the full 0:34:40.760 --> 0:34:43.120 swing and you can virtually hit any apple and there'll 0:34:43.160 --> 0:34:46.839 be fantastic. The Osi citrus season is also in full swing, 0:34:46.880 --> 0:34:49.239 and navels are a master. They're sweet and juicy and 0:34:49.320 --> 0:34:50.680 you know what, they're great value. 0:34:50.880 --> 0:34:54.680 What about veggies, Veggi, you can't go past red caps. 0:34:54.719 --> 0:34:57.760 They are amazing value and quality. This week in all stores, 0:34:58.280 --> 0:35:01.960 we've got Continental Passi rhubarb, the old fashioned rhubarbs, an 0:35:02.000 --> 0:35:06.080 old favorite Jack pumpkin. The packaged potatoes are all great 0:35:06.160 --> 0:35:09.520 value this week, as is jack pumpkin, and our imperfect 0:35:09.520 --> 0:35:11.320 comerange is on at a great price. 0:35:11.680 --> 0:35:13.479 Run us through a couple of specials for us as well. 0:35:14.040 --> 0:35:17.600 Alrighty for the specials for this weekend, we have cup 0:35:17.680 --> 0:35:20.000 mushrooms on at seven ninety nine. There's been plenty of 0:35:20.080 --> 0:35:22.719 mushrooms around and they are fantastic at seven ninety nine, 0:35:22.719 --> 0:35:24.680 are about five dollars a kilo off what they normally 0:35:24.680 --> 0:35:27.719 said at We've got one kilo cocktail potatoes that's three 0:35:27.800 --> 0:35:30.120 ninety nine, which is two to three dollars less than 0:35:30.120 --> 0:35:33.439 what they normally are. Red Radish, another old favorite, two 0:35:33.440 --> 0:35:36.160 bunches for three bucks, so that's great value. We've got 0:35:36.160 --> 0:35:38.600 our imperfect eggplant at two ninety nine, which is less 0:35:38.680 --> 0:35:41.920 than half the price of the premium fruit. And our 0:35:41.960 --> 0:35:44.680 avocado farmers all need a hand. There is a there 0:35:44.760 --> 0:35:47.040 is a deal of avocados around on the markets at 0:35:47.040 --> 0:35:49.319 the moment, and we've got our imperfect range at two 0:35:49.400 --> 0:35:52.200 forty nine a kilo, which will be less than probably 0:35:52.239 --> 0:35:54.840 sixty or seventy cents a peace, So plenty of value 0:35:54.840 --> 0:35:55.080 in that. 0:35:55.280 --> 0:35:58.400 And the imperfect stuff still tastes good, doesn't it. Thanks mate, 0:35:58.920 --> 0:36:01.640 Thank you, have a great weekend. Carlos Cerravello, who's the 0:36:01.680 --> 0:36:04.160 head of fresh buying at Harris Farm Markets. Harris Farm 0:36:04.160 --> 0:36:06.840 Markets where everything's fresh, at local and a little bit special. 0:36:07.000 --> 0:36:10.400 Find your flavor today at harrisfarm dot com dot au. 0:36:13.840 --> 0:36:15.640 The Liberal Party is still to make a decision of 0:36:15.719 --> 0:36:18.520 whether they're going to seek a challenge in the Court 0:36:18.520 --> 0:36:20.880 of Disputed Returns over the result in the electorate of 0:36:20.920 --> 0:36:24.560 Bradfield where the Independent the Tell Nicolette Buller has been 0:36:24.600 --> 0:36:28.719 declared the winner. It's twenty six votes, so there's nothing 0:36:28.719 --> 0:36:31.960 in it now. The fact that the Liberal candidate Jizel 0:36:32.000 --> 0:36:34.839 Captirian was initially in front, they may try to use 0:36:34.840 --> 0:36:37.600 that as grounds. Susan Lee has spoken about this today 0:36:37.600 --> 0:36:39.279 and she told the Today's Show, well, no decision has 0:36:39.320 --> 0:36:39.960 been made yet. 0:36:40.160 --> 0:36:43.160 We'll wait for a process to take its place. Obviously 0:36:43.239 --> 0:36:47.440 it's been declared not for us, and we'll see what 0:36:47.480 --> 0:36:49.439 happens next. But I do want to give a shout 0:36:49.480 --> 0:36:52.799 out to the amazing Giselle Captarian who is our candidate there. 0:36:52.840 --> 0:36:55.480 She's got a great future as an incredible woman in 0:36:55.520 --> 0:36:56.280 the Liberal Party. 0:36:56.480 --> 0:36:58.359 Susan Lee, that decision hopefully will come in the next 0:36:58.400 --> 0:37:00.680 week or so. Thanks the message poorly poorly telling me 0:37:00.680 --> 0:37:02.480 about the pile up in the airport tunnel. So it 0:37:02.520 --> 0:37:05.759 involves four cars and a truck, so a truck is 0:37:05.800 --> 0:37:07.719 also involved in this, so it might take a little 0:37:07.760 --> 0:37:10.640 longer to clear. I mentioned on Friday the thirteenth often 0:37:10.800 --> 0:37:14.080 tattoo parlors around the world close, such as today. Anna says, 0:37:14.120 --> 0:37:17.239 no sash tattoo in Sydney's been operating for thirty two 0:37:17.280 --> 0:37:19.560 years and it's still opened. Coming up alfter the news, 0:37:19.640 --> 0:37:21.160 the Treasurer Daniel Mookie. 0:37:22.640 --> 0:37:26.520 There is Sydney. Now we've clinton on. 0:37:26.520 --> 0:37:30.080 To GenB seven past four confirmation. Now Iran has begun 0:37:30.120 --> 0:37:34.400 its retaliation action against Israel with drone strikes. Iran has 0:37:34.480 --> 0:37:37.840 launched more than one hundred drones at Israel in recent hours. 0:37:38.160 --> 0:37:42.400 Israeli Defense Force Brigadier has confirmed that Israeli forces are 0:37:42.400 --> 0:37:45.520 working actively to intercept the drones and their shield has 0:37:45.520 --> 0:37:48.920 actually been quite quite effective in recent years. The drones 0:37:49.000 --> 0:37:52.279 launched from Indian Iranian territory are expected to take several 0:37:52.320 --> 0:37:55.800 hours to reach their targets. The Times of Israel expects 0:37:55.840 --> 0:37:59.560 some Iranian missiles to get through, according to Israeli official, 0:37:59.640 --> 0:38:02.799 but their shield system has proved quite effective in the 0:38:02.840 --> 0:38:06.600 past seven past four. Just repeating that drama in the 0:38:06.640 --> 0:38:09.920 airport tunnel, general homes drive at the moments southbound. There 0:38:09.960 --> 0:38:13.160 are massive delays because there's been a pile up involving 0:38:13.239 --> 0:38:16.399 four cars and a truck. There is debris all over 0:38:16.440 --> 0:38:18.160 the road and it's going to take a little while 0:38:18.160 --> 0:38:20.839 to actually clear that. So if you're heading south down 0:38:20.880 --> 0:38:23.759 Southern Cross Drive, if you're driving along General Homes Drive, 0:38:24.080 --> 0:38:25.960 bear that in mind. If you can take another route 0:38:25.960 --> 0:38:28.480 at all, mate, you can go the old Botany Road route, 0:38:28.800 --> 0:38:30.680 do that, because it is going to be a nightmare 0:38:30.719 --> 0:38:32.720 trying to get home over the next couple of hours. 0:38:32.880 --> 0:38:35.239 If it matters to you, you'll hear it here. 0:38:35.520 --> 0:38:38.239 Sydney now Wood Quinton Maynard until six. 0:38:38.360 --> 0:38:40.520 The state's budget for the next year will be handed 0:38:40.520 --> 0:38:42.480 down in a couple of weeks time. And just like 0:38:42.560 --> 0:38:46.360 most of us, the government's under extreme financial pressure. The 0:38:46.400 --> 0:38:48.520 half Yaly Review was released a few months ago, back 0:38:48.560 --> 0:38:52.720 in December, and the deficit has grown to five billion dollars. 0:38:53.200 --> 0:38:56.400 So the government is spending more money than it receives 0:38:56.440 --> 0:38:59.440 in tax in other revenue, and that must mean I 0:38:59.480 --> 0:39:01.520 would assure that the treasurre A Daniel Mookie is going 0:39:01.560 --> 0:39:04.520 to have to make some cutbacks or put up tax. Well, 0:39:04.640 --> 0:39:08.000 let's find out. Daniel Lookie joins me in studio. Hello Treasurer, 0:39:08.000 --> 0:39:10.120 Hello Clinton, thank you for having me in. We're going 0:39:10.160 --> 0:39:12.440 to take some questions from our listeners as well, So 0:39:12.520 --> 0:39:14.799 if you've got a question for the Treasurer, and bear 0:39:14.840 --> 0:39:19.040 in mind he doesn't come armed with reams of paperwork, 0:39:19.320 --> 0:39:21.719 so he'll be using his brain here if you do 0:39:21.800 --> 0:39:24.279 have questions one three one eight seven three. And I've 0:39:24.280 --> 0:39:25.799 got a few questions that have been sent to us 0:39:25.840 --> 0:39:27.719 as well, But this is your opportunity. If there's a 0:39:27.760 --> 0:39:30.879 particular question about government spending, if there's something you want 0:39:30.920 --> 0:39:33.880 to see in the budget, an area of spending that 0:39:33.920 --> 0:39:36.360 you believe is essential for our city, give me a 0:39:36.360 --> 0:39:38.359 call out one three one eight seven three. You can 0:39:38.400 --> 0:39:42.480 send messages zero force zero eight seven three eight seven three. Okay, 0:39:42.520 --> 0:39:46.440 deficit you revealed in December, it's five billion dollars a 0:39:46.440 --> 0:39:48.160 couple of weeks until your hand down the budget. Will 0:39:48.160 --> 0:39:50.359 it come down, Well, you'll have. 0:39:50.320 --> 0:39:51.879 To wait and see for budget Day, but I can 0:39:51.920 --> 0:39:53.840 definitely make the point that, yeah, you're right, the budget 0:39:53.920 --> 0:39:56.200 is under pressure. When I became Treasurer, I inherited a 0:39:56.239 --> 0:40:00.040 budget deficit of roughly fifteen billion dollars last year in 0:40:00.120 --> 0:40:03.040 New South Wales. I also had twelve point six billion 0:40:03.120 --> 0:40:06.080 dollars of GST income taken off us for the next 0:40:06.160 --> 0:40:08.759 four years, so we're under pressure and we have to 0:40:08.760 --> 0:40:11.080 be very careful with every single dollar that we're spending, 0:40:11.640 --> 0:40:14.920 and that's not changed in this particular budget. Every single 0:40:15.000 --> 0:40:17.880 dollar that we are collecting from people through taxes or 0:40:17.880 --> 0:40:20.719 we're getting from the commonwealth, we have to make sure 0:40:20.760 --> 0:40:22.560 that it's getting a good return for the public. 0:40:22.800 --> 0:40:24.160 Are you going to have to make some cuts. 0:40:25.360 --> 0:40:27.840 There's no broad cuts coming in the budget. We have 0:40:27.880 --> 0:40:30.640 been very disciplined in our spending since we got here 0:40:32.040 --> 0:40:33.919 and formed government now nearly two years ago. 0:40:34.000 --> 0:40:36.520 Can we keep that on tape? A treasurer has said 0:40:36.520 --> 0:40:38.560 there will be no broad cuts in this budget. 0:40:38.760 --> 0:40:41.160 No, of course, there's not any broadcuts coming. What we 0:40:41.200 --> 0:40:43.799 are absolutely doing, though, is we are making sure that 0:40:43.840 --> 0:40:46.279 every dollar is being well spent. If we think a 0:40:46.320 --> 0:40:48.800 program is not returning, we are absolutely clear about the 0:40:48.840 --> 0:40:51.560 fact that we will move the money. If we think 0:40:51.600 --> 0:40:53.719 that a money could be put to a better use, 0:40:53.760 --> 0:40:56.520 we absolutely will put it to a better use. Absolutely, 0:40:56.520 --> 0:40:58.520 I want to be very clear about that, Clinton, and 0:40:58.560 --> 0:41:01.080 that's what you would expect me to do. On behalf 0:41:01.080 --> 0:41:03.359 of the people of New South Wales. I will say 0:41:03.360 --> 0:41:06.200 when I came to power, I inherited from my predecessor 0:41:06.640 --> 0:41:09.760 experence growth that was about twenty four percent per year. 0:41:10.360 --> 0:41:13.160 That was Matt Keane's last budget. It's come down quite 0:41:13.160 --> 0:41:15.200 significantly like that. We made it very clear at the 0:41:15.200 --> 0:41:17.000 time that it's going to take time to repair the 0:41:17.000 --> 0:41:20.040 state's budget position. But I'm confident when people see the numbers, 0:41:20.040 --> 0:41:22.600 they'll see that we've been very careful. We've been very disciplined. 0:41:22.960 --> 0:41:26.520 Our debt numbers are stable. The budget is under pressure. 0:41:26.560 --> 0:41:29.200 The budgets particularly under pressure right now for two reasons, 0:41:29.239 --> 0:41:33.000 workers comp and disasters, And that will be clear on 0:41:33.040 --> 0:41:33.520 budget Day. 0:41:33.600 --> 0:41:35.799 I'll ask you about workers competent in particular in a moment, 0:41:35.800 --> 0:41:38.319 because it's some significant action next week in that. But 0:41:38.880 --> 0:41:42.800 whenever I talk about the public service and we discuss 0:41:42.880 --> 0:41:45.040 pay rise as a fair bit, because your government has 0:41:45.040 --> 0:41:47.520 been involved in dispute after dispute with different arms of 0:41:47.560 --> 0:41:50.520 the public service, I keep hearing from our listeners saying, 0:41:51.000 --> 0:41:53.319 why can't the nurses get a decent pay rise? Now, 0:41:53.400 --> 0:41:56.040 I know this is before the indust Relations Commission, but 0:41:56.160 --> 0:41:58.440 will there be some joy in the budget for nurses? 0:41:59.080 --> 0:42:02.480 Well, already we are rolling out things like safe staffing 0:42:02.520 --> 0:42:05.120 levels for our nurses, which was our key election commitment. 0:42:05.160 --> 0:42:08.920 And was working closely with the nurses union. And when 0:42:08.960 --> 0:42:11.960 it comes to nurses pay, we already have delivered nurses 0:42:12.000 --> 0:42:14.760 the biggest pay rise they've received in more than a decade. 0:42:14.840 --> 0:42:17.759 But they're telling me the Nurses Midwaf's Association says that 0:42:17.800 --> 0:42:19.880 those in Queens that have paid I think seventeen percent 0:42:19.920 --> 0:42:22.880 more and that nurses are leaving New South Wales to 0:42:22.920 --> 0:42:23.600 move to Brisbane. 0:42:23.719 --> 0:42:25.840 Yeah, but I'd also just point out the stats, which 0:42:25.880 --> 0:42:29.000 is we are seeing that nurse recruitment and retention levels 0:42:29.040 --> 0:42:32.160 are now higher than there were pre COVID and we've 0:42:32.200 --> 0:42:36.040 recovered a large part of our attention issues. And equally 0:42:36.080 --> 0:42:39.560 we are record enrollments in nurses joining New South Wales Health. 0:42:39.600 --> 0:42:42.440 We very much respect the Nurses Association, We very much 0:42:42.480 --> 0:42:45.080 respect the state's nurses. But I'd also just point out 0:42:45.600 --> 0:42:49.040 we brought back an independent umpire for our nurses. We 0:42:49.080 --> 0:42:51.279 didn't say to our nurses that you have to agree 0:42:51.320 --> 0:42:54.480 with us. Unlike the previous government which had used the 0:42:54.520 --> 0:42:57.799 force of law to restrain nurses' wages for a decade, 0:42:58.200 --> 0:43:00.920 we have brought back an independent umpire and our nurses 0:43:01.000 --> 0:43:04.520 and the Nurses Union is using it. So from our perspective. 0:43:04.640 --> 0:43:06.440 Yet we'll always look to see what more we can 0:43:06.520 --> 0:43:08.520 do with the nurses, but we're not going to hide 0:43:08.520 --> 0:43:10.800 the fact that, of course it remains an issue in dispute. 0:43:11.000 --> 0:43:12.759 Just final point, Clinton, you're making the point about the 0:43:12.760 --> 0:43:16.160 broader workforce. We have reached agreement now with pretty much 0:43:16.200 --> 0:43:19.120 the rest of the public sector, and we are obviously 0:43:19.160 --> 0:43:21.680 waiting to see some further decisions today from Fair Work 0:43:22.080 --> 0:43:25.120 about the rail dispute. But if that's now largely resolved, 0:43:25.640 --> 0:43:28.760 people will see that the investment we have been making 0:43:28.840 --> 0:43:34.239 in essential services does mean that we are investing more 0:43:34.239 --> 0:43:37.000 in our central workers, and that is leading to lower 0:43:37.040 --> 0:43:40.560 class and cancelations, more police signing up at the academy, 0:43:40.560 --> 0:43:42.120 and better public services for the community. 0:43:42.280 --> 0:43:44.840 The one sector of the workforce that people keep saying 0:43:44.920 --> 0:43:47.200 to this program that they want helped is the nurses. 0:43:47.560 --> 0:43:50.600 So for why is it You've managed big increases for teachers, 0:43:51.200 --> 0:43:54.360 big increases for police officers. And I'm not suggesting particularly 0:43:54.360 --> 0:43:56.680 with the police officers, because it's a centially you had 0:43:56.680 --> 0:43:58.960 a recruitment problem there, it's essentially you address that. But 0:43:59.040 --> 0:44:01.560 why is it the nurses? If you can just explain 0:44:01.600 --> 0:44:03.719 it simply, why can't the nurses get an increase of 0:44:03.760 --> 0:44:05.400 the same size as the teachers and the police. 0:44:05.560 --> 0:44:09.960 Well, with the teachers and police, we negotiated hard bargains. 0:44:10.560 --> 0:44:14.520 We did find abundance of resources that allowed us to 0:44:14.520 --> 0:44:17.120 be redirected towards their pay, which is also the reasons 0:44:17.160 --> 0:44:18.960 why we'd be able to sign up more teachers and 0:44:19.000 --> 0:44:22.280 more police, which is leading to more kids having teachers 0:44:22.320 --> 0:44:24.360 and more cops in our stations. When it comes to 0:44:24.400 --> 0:44:26.520 the nurses, though, I can't duck the fact that we 0:44:26.560 --> 0:44:29.279 worked with the Nurses Association pretty tightly on their number 0:44:29.280 --> 0:44:31.640 one priority, which was safe staffing levels, and we've been 0:44:31.719 --> 0:44:35.560 rolling that out and we absolutely have made a critical 0:44:35.600 --> 0:44:38.760 investment in safe staffing levels as well as nurses wages 0:44:39.560 --> 0:44:41.799 as well. Of course, the nurses union is doing their 0:44:41.880 --> 0:44:45.160 job of always arguing for more. We remain determined to 0:44:45.160 --> 0:44:47.520 see whether we can narrow the differences with the Nurses' union. 0:44:47.680 --> 0:44:49.560 But at the same token, we're being pretty upfront. That's 0:44:49.560 --> 0:44:51.279 why we brought back an indpend an umpire. 0:44:51.080 --> 0:44:53.320 Some questions from our listeners now on this particular issue. 0:44:53.320 --> 0:44:56.879 Anthony says, you've got plans for the new Rouse Hill 0:44:57.080 --> 0:45:00.640 Hospital minimum eight hundred staff if they want operate the 0:45:00.840 --> 0:45:03.480 use the two hundred beds and operate twenty four to seven. 0:45:04.000 --> 0:45:05.960 Since he doesn't want to pay the nurses a wage, 0:45:06.120 --> 0:45:06.719 how's that going to. 0:45:06.719 --> 0:45:10.239 Work rowse Hill Hospital, Well, at ourse Hill Hospital, we're 0:45:10.239 --> 0:45:12.319 putting more money into the rouse Hill Hospital project in 0:45:12.320 --> 0:45:13.480 this particular party, So you're going to have. 0:45:13.440 --> 0:45:15.200 The nurses to start it. No, No, Banks, you made 0:45:15.200 --> 0:45:16.799 an announcement this week and think about Banks ten. 0:45:16.920 --> 0:45:19.000 Yeah, we also made a big investment in Bankstown Hospital. 0:45:19.040 --> 0:45:20.960 And look, I just simply point out the facts. We 0:45:21.000 --> 0:45:24.000 are enrolling a record a number of nurses that are 0:45:24.120 --> 0:45:26.600 joining the new South Wales Health Service. Equally, at the 0:45:26.600 --> 0:45:31.520 same time we are retaining our nurses as is, and 0:45:31.520 --> 0:45:33.720 that's a good thing. And so and when it comes 0:45:33.719 --> 0:45:37.040 to places like rowse Hill Hospital, we're really pleased that 0:45:37.040 --> 0:45:41.320 we're making a critical investment in that hospital, particularly because 0:45:41.800 --> 0:45:44.279 the community of rowse Hill has promised that hospital at 0:45:44.360 --> 0:45:47.879 three separate elections under our predecessors, they're entitled to say, well, 0:45:47.920 --> 0:45:49.880 we want to see it being built, and in this 0:45:49.920 --> 0:45:52.640 particular budget that community will see real progress and real 0:45:52.680 --> 0:45:53.880 dollars being put behind the project. 0:45:54.200 --> 0:45:57.120 To detail in this question from Sandratte something she's passionate about. 0:45:57.560 --> 0:46:00.280 Could we ask, mister Mooky, is it possibly in increase 0:46:00.360 --> 0:46:03.160 funding to the Adoption Information Unit. It's part of the 0:46:03.160 --> 0:46:06.600 Department of Communities and Justice, so that all birth mothers 0:46:06.640 --> 0:46:09.840 affected by forced adoption can receive information in regards to 0:46:09.920 --> 0:46:12.360 adopted children. Is that an area that you might be 0:46:12.400 --> 0:46:13.160 able to find money for. 0:46:13.480 --> 0:46:16.480 Yeah, well again, I'm well and truly across the fact 0:46:16.520 --> 0:46:19.800 that lots of people are wanting to see that service improve. 0:46:20.200 --> 0:46:21.880 I am working with the Minister to see what we 0:46:21.960 --> 0:46:25.200 can do there to ensure that people can get access 0:46:25.239 --> 0:46:27.960 to those records. Quicker, I haven't got an announcement for 0:46:28.000 --> 0:46:30.040 you today on that, Clinton, but you're right to say 0:46:30.040 --> 0:46:31.799 that this is something that's on our radar and we 0:46:31.840 --> 0:46:32.560 are looking at it. 0:46:32.680 --> 0:46:35.239 Michael asked a question here, should the Federal government, so 0:46:35.239 --> 0:46:36.640 you might be able to flick this down to Canberra? 0:46:36.840 --> 0:46:40.719 Should the Federal government fund the revitalization of Cockatoo Island 0:46:40.960 --> 0:46:42.280 given its naval history. 0:46:42.880 --> 0:46:46.399 Well, when it comes to money from Canberra, I'm never 0:46:46.400 --> 0:46:46.960 going to say no. 0:46:48.120 --> 0:46:49.000 So that's a yes. 0:46:50.400 --> 0:46:54.160 I welcome Commonwealth contributions to lots of our different projects, 0:46:54.200 --> 0:46:56.320 but I'll simply say when it comes to cutting money 0:46:56.320 --> 0:46:58.320 from Canberra, I'm always going to accept money for the 0:46:58.360 --> 0:46:59.280 people in New South Wales. 0:46:59.400 --> 0:47:01.799 Now, we've been covering extensively the last couple of weeks 0:47:01.800 --> 0:47:04.759 the workers compensation fight on the station through our programs. 0:47:04.760 --> 0:47:06.520 Mark Speaton was on my show on the day that 0:47:06.600 --> 0:47:09.760 he voted for an inquiry, teamed up with the Greens 0:47:09.760 --> 0:47:12.640 to do that. The inquiry is next week. Now, I 0:47:12.719 --> 0:47:15.839 understand you have had some meetings with MP's taking part 0:47:15.840 --> 0:47:17.440 in that inquiry in the last twenty four hours. 0:47:17.560 --> 0:47:17.799 Yeah. 0:47:17.880 --> 0:47:21.000 I have the opportunity to provide a briefing to that committee. 0:47:21.000 --> 0:47:22.680 Of course, it's a private briefing, so i won't go 0:47:22.719 --> 0:47:25.000 into the particular details, but I'm looking forward to appearing 0:47:25.040 --> 0:47:27.480 in that committee as well next week. My message to 0:47:27.520 --> 0:47:29.320 the Liberal Party is this is not an issue in 0:47:29.360 --> 0:47:31.799 which we should be playing politics. I mean, they made 0:47:31.800 --> 0:47:33.759 a choice to team up with the Greens. They're going 0:47:33.760 --> 0:47:36.360 to need to explain that decision to the three hundred 0:47:36.400 --> 0:47:39.440 and forty thousand odd small businesses that are facing the 0:47:39.440 --> 0:47:42.680 prospects of a thirty six percent increase in premiums over 0:47:42.719 --> 0:47:45.840 the next three year. And that's if those businesses have 0:47:45.960 --> 0:47:48.960 no claims this system is not working for injured workers, 0:47:48.960 --> 0:47:50.959 it's not working for small businesses, and it's not working 0:47:50.960 --> 0:47:51.359 for the stage. 0:47:51.400 --> 0:47:54.040 And this isn't something new, And I've seen data about 0:47:54.280 --> 0:47:58.399 the historic funding ratios and back to leaven the days. 0:47:58.400 --> 0:47:59.520 I think when Dominic Perrote was. 0:47:59.440 --> 0:48:03.120 The treasurer, it does clinton. When I came into Parliament, 0:48:03.880 --> 0:48:08.080 the private sector insurance scheme had a dollar thirty two 0:48:08.640 --> 0:48:12.640 in assets for every dollar they have in liabilities. It's 0:48:12.680 --> 0:48:17.120 now at eighty two cents. The scheme now has eighty two. 0:48:17.440 --> 0:48:19.760 So does that mean the scheme is broke? The scheme 0:48:19.840 --> 0:48:21.640 is in a deficit. The scheme is in a deficit. 0:48:21.680 --> 0:48:24.359 The scheme is going backwards five million dollars a day, 0:48:25.040 --> 0:48:28.640 and it's not helping people get back to work. It's 0:48:28.680 --> 0:48:31.080 not helping people get back to health. And the people 0:48:31.080 --> 0:48:32.640 who are paying the price for it are the people 0:48:32.680 --> 0:48:35.160 who are paying premiums, which is overwhelmingly small business. 0:48:35.200 --> 0:48:37.080 And it's going to mean premiums go up. So hopefully 0:48:37.480 --> 0:48:39.560 the Coalition will do the right thing by their constituents. 0:48:39.560 --> 0:48:40.839 At some point, I want to get to a quick 0:48:40.880 --> 0:48:44.320 call from Christian about nursing. Hello, Christian, Hi, it's Kirstin, 0:48:44.960 --> 0:48:45.560 Hello chist. 0:48:45.800 --> 0:48:47.160 Just a quick question with nursing. 0:48:47.200 --> 0:48:48.600 First of all, yes or no? 0:48:48.719 --> 0:48:49.920 Are they going to get a pay rise? 0:48:50.160 --> 0:48:50.600 Yes or no? 0:48:50.800 --> 0:48:52.680 And second of all, we're going to find all the 0:48:52.760 --> 0:48:56.440 nurses to feel leak the new banks Down Hospital, all 0:48:56.480 --> 0:48:57.240 these sort of things. 0:48:57.600 --> 0:48:59.880 They're not interested in working in these as wells anymore. 0:49:00.960 --> 0:49:04.359 So, as I've said, we have given nurses a pay rise. 0:49:04.400 --> 0:49:06.360 We've given the nurses the best, the best payerrise have 0:49:06.440 --> 0:49:09.279 had more than a decade, and they deserve absolutely every cent. 0:49:09.600 --> 0:49:11.520 And when it comes to making sure the hospitals be 0:49:11.560 --> 0:49:15.080 at Lidcomb, Bankstown, be at Rouse Hill, we are signing 0:49:15.160 --> 0:49:17.920 up a record number of nurses each year and we 0:49:17.960 --> 0:49:18.719 are retaining them. 0:49:18.760 --> 0:49:21.480 So it's now up to the Industrial Relations Commission what 0:49:21.480 --> 0:49:22.400 the payrolls is going to be. 0:49:22.640 --> 0:49:26.879 Well, the Industrial Relations Commission is arbitrating, which is why 0:49:26.880 --> 0:49:29.279 we brought back an independent umpire. And it's important point 0:49:29.280 --> 0:49:31.439 to make here Clinton. For twelve years, nurses didn't even 0:49:31.440 --> 0:49:32.480 have the right for arbitration. 0:49:33.160 --> 0:49:35.720 I've got more messages about versing in particular, and Kathy's 0:49:35.719 --> 0:49:37.640 making the point. Imagine if teachers had to pay for 0:49:37.640 --> 0:49:40.239 parking at schools like nurses have to at hospitals. Now, 0:49:40.239 --> 0:49:42.160 I know that's anichue for the health Miss Ryan Park, 0:49:42.239 --> 0:49:43.840 but it does seem and I know there was special 0:49:43.920 --> 0:49:45.720 rules drink ovid, but it does seem harsh. 0:49:45.880 --> 0:49:49.680 Yeah, but at the same token, we do provide other 0:49:49.800 --> 0:49:53.120 benefits for our healthcare workers, not just nurses as well, 0:49:53.320 --> 0:49:56.200 and you're not going to hear from me anything other 0:49:56.239 --> 0:49:58.480 than respect for our healthcare workers. We understand how much 0:49:58.480 --> 0:50:00.919 pressure people are under right now, and we are looking 0:50:00.960 --> 0:50:02.640 to see what everything we can do to make sure 0:50:02.680 --> 0:50:05.040 that people are being respected at work. And that does 0:50:05.160 --> 0:50:07.200 mean and continuing to engage with the nurses union, which 0:50:07.200 --> 0:50:08.600 we will do, but we're not going to Clinton. I 0:50:08.640 --> 0:50:10.920 can't pretend that this is an easy issue to resolve. 0:50:11.280 --> 0:50:11.400 Now. 0:50:11.400 --> 0:50:14.200 I appreciate you coming in the studio. You've left your office. 0:50:14.520 --> 0:50:16.520 You've been preparing the budget now for weeks. I understand 0:50:16.520 --> 0:50:18.320 you listen to a fair bit of music while preparing 0:50:18.360 --> 0:50:21.080 the budget. So I would have assumed it was aDNA, 0:50:21.480 --> 0:50:24.080 but apparently it's not advert Apparently it's this fellow. 0:50:24.360 --> 0:50:25.719 Card need homost dog. 0:50:25.840 --> 0:50:31.080 This life goes on baby. So that's Kendrick Lamar, your 0:50:31.120 --> 0:50:33.759 staff telling me that you listen to Kendrick Lamar while 0:50:33.840 --> 0:50:34.520 doing the numbers. 0:50:34.680 --> 0:50:37.120 I do he's a well I mean he just did 0:50:37.160 --> 0:50:37.719 the super Bowl. 0:50:37.840 --> 0:50:39.560 Like, can only play part of that song there because 0:50:39.560 --> 0:50:41.480 it does go into some graphic detail a little later. 0:50:41.680 --> 0:50:42.440 Yeah, we look Clinton. 0:50:42.440 --> 0:50:43.600 I'm not going to hide the fact that I'm a 0:50:43.680 --> 0:50:47.080 hip hop fan. My first two budgets I also have 0:50:47.200 --> 0:50:50.760 quite the hip hop soundtrack. We will reveal the soundtrack 0:50:50.840 --> 0:50:54.280 of this budget closer to Budget day. But Kendrick Lamar 0:50:54.440 --> 0:50:56.719 is coming to Sydney. He's coming to Australia. He's one 0:50:56.760 --> 0:50:59.759 of the world's biggest stars. He led the super Bowl 0:51:00.000 --> 0:51:03.440 Bridge super Bowl halftime show, which I'd strongly recommend all 0:51:03.480 --> 0:51:05.600 your listeners if they're interested, to have a look at. 0:51:06.040 --> 0:51:08.080 So from our perspective, yes, I've been listening to quite 0:51:08.080 --> 0:51:08.839 a lot of Kendrick Lamar. 0:51:08.880 --> 0:51:11.320 You got me there, Daniel Rookie, thank you. Hopefully you 0:51:11.320 --> 0:51:13.440 can help the nurses out in the budget. Thanks Lintin 0:51:13.520 --> 0:51:16.120 the Treasurer at Daniel Lookie twenty four Pass four. The 0:51:16.200 --> 0:51:18.280 Fair Work Commission is due to hand down a decision 0:51:18.320 --> 0:51:22.240 at about five to six minutes on the Sydney train dispute. 0:51:22.360 --> 0:51:25.040 So what the government and now the Rail, Trim and 0:51:25.080 --> 0:51:27.400 Bus Union is seeking is an order for this issue 0:51:27.440 --> 0:51:29.160 to go to the members, so the members will actually 0:51:29.200 --> 0:51:31.280 vote on whether to accept this pay deal. The ETU 0:51:31.920 --> 0:51:35.080 has been opposed to that. Emergency services say it's actually 0:51:35.160 --> 0:51:38.520 really fortunate that only two people suffered injuries after this 0:51:38.680 --> 0:51:41.200 gas explosion blew out a wall of a unit block 0:51:41.280 --> 0:51:43.399 in the Western Suburbs this morning. You would have heard 0:51:43.440 --> 0:51:45.760 about this today. Seven people are assessed on the scene 0:51:46.480 --> 0:51:49.879 after this explosion in Lidkem was at six point thirty 0:51:49.920 --> 0:51:53.120 this morning. One of them was knocked unconscious, another person 0:51:53.200 --> 0:51:56.400 suffered minor burns, somebody suffered smoke in elation. Fifty people 0:51:56.440 --> 0:52:00.440 had to be evacuated. The acting ambulance Superintendent elicit Honworths 0:52:00.480 --> 0:52:03.040 says it could have been much, much worse. 0:52:03.480 --> 0:52:05.960 It always has the potential with any explosion to have 0:52:06.239 --> 0:52:08.600 some significant injuries and fatality. 0:52:08.680 --> 0:52:11.160 So we've been extremely lucky here today to only have 0:52:11.280 --> 0:52:12.960 two patients in. 0:52:13.000 --> 0:52:13.760 A stable condition. 0:52:15.040 --> 0:52:18.359 That's the paramedic Illicit con Worth. That very fortunate. It's 0:52:18.400 --> 0:52:20.920 only two people who suffered injuries there one, three, one, 0:52:21.040 --> 0:52:24.280 eight seven three, Hello Wayne, how you going Clinton? 0:52:24.360 --> 0:52:24.520 Good? 0:52:24.520 --> 0:52:26.120 Wayne, that's good. 0:52:26.280 --> 0:52:31.320 I was just going to comment on the treasurer assertion 0:52:31.520 --> 0:52:37.759 that the people paying the price for workplace injuries are 0:52:37.800 --> 0:52:40.920 the people paying the insurance premium. Do they understand what 0:52:41.000 --> 0:52:43.480 the worker's compensation scheme is there for. 0:52:43.640 --> 0:52:46.800 Well, it's primarily there to assist the workers who bit injured. 0:52:47.400 --> 0:52:51.000 That's exactly right. I mean, you know, if I was 0:52:51.040 --> 0:52:54.279 an injured worker, well, I'm sure as hell wouldn't be saying, 0:52:54.320 --> 0:52:59.400 oh my poor employers that didn't have proper, faked precautions 0:52:59.480 --> 0:52:59.920 in place. 0:53:00.040 --> 0:53:02.200 The problem that we've got, though, Wayne, is that the 0:53:02.280 --> 0:53:05.480 blowout in this scheme is not so much caused by 0:53:05.680 --> 0:53:08.080 what you would term physical injuries. A lot of this 0:53:08.280 --> 0:53:10.200 is because of mental health issues. 0:53:10.200 --> 0:53:10.319 Now. 0:53:10.360 --> 0:53:12.440 It's not to downplay that this is not a significant 0:53:12.480 --> 0:53:17.239 problem in the workforce now, but there's there's clearly some change, 0:53:17.280 --> 0:53:19.480 he wain, in the way that the mental health problems 0:53:19.600 --> 0:53:22.200 are treated in the workforce, because that's fueling the blowout 0:53:22.239 --> 0:53:22.760 and the costs. 0:53:23.480 --> 0:53:26.120 H Yeah, I get that, Clinton, But we're talking about 0:53:26.120 --> 0:53:29.640 an insensitive comment here by the treasurer, a labor treasurer, 0:53:30.239 --> 0:53:33.600 you know, and you know, I mean we have here 0:53:33.640 --> 0:53:37.279 a labor government that seems to hate nurses, and now 0:53:37.480 --> 0:53:41.000 is making comments as though they hate all workers. 0:53:41.040 --> 0:53:43.280 And I appreciate you perspective on that way, because certainly 0:53:43.400 --> 0:53:45.759 he has very much lost the support on this issue 0:53:45.800 --> 0:53:49.440 of the unions. The problem he's got is the systems broke, 0:53:51.040 --> 0:53:53.120 and to fund it, it's either going to take a 0:53:53.280 --> 0:53:56.400 lot more taxpayers money to cover it, or business is 0:53:56.440 --> 0:53:57.480 going to have to pay a lot more, which is 0:53:57.560 --> 0:53:59.359 going to then transfer to all the costs that we pay. 0:53:59.440 --> 0:54:01.520 So they've hit a Star Mart, they've hit a brick wall. 0:54:01.760 --> 0:54:04.279 Were so part of these reforms, and it's part of 0:54:04.320 --> 0:54:06.320 the reforms is changing the way mental health is dealt with, 0:54:06.400 --> 0:54:09.320 and it does need to be reviewed because yes, not everybody, 0:54:09.360 --> 0:54:11.200 but there's a lot of routing when it comes to 0:54:11.480 --> 0:54:16.319 psychological injury. Twenty seven past four, Friday afternoon GE. There's 0:54:16.360 --> 0:54:18.279 dramas with the airport tunnel at the moment. If you 0:54:18.440 --> 0:54:20.960 Southern Cross drive, General homes drive, you're going to be 0:54:21.000 --> 0:54:23.680 delayed getting home because there's been a pile up involving 0:54:23.880 --> 0:54:26.719 four cars and a truck. They're moving to clear the 0:54:26.800 --> 0:54:29.360 lanes of the moment, this is affecting the southbound lanes 0:54:29.440 --> 0:54:33.640 General homes drive in the tunnel. There's been debris left everywhere. 0:54:33.840 --> 0:54:36.439 Quite a serious accident. We're just hoping that everybody who's 0:54:36.440 --> 0:54:40.120 been involved in the crash is okay. The police have 0:54:40.280 --> 0:54:43.320 just been talking to us off air about what's happening 0:54:43.400 --> 0:54:47.040 here and they're telling us that at the moment, the TMC, 0:54:47.239 --> 0:54:50.640 they're the Transport Management officials there on the scene right 0:54:50.680 --> 0:54:54.280 at the moment trying to deal with the situation. Four vehicles, 0:54:54.320 --> 0:54:56.319 there are four cars, there's a truck. But it's going 0:54:56.400 --> 0:54:58.000 to take a while to clear this up, so you 0:54:58.080 --> 0:55:05.359 will be delayed heading home.

The Jewish state 0:55:16.160 --> 0:55:19.480 says Tehran was close to building a nuclear weapon and 0:55:19.640 --> 0:55:23.879 that couldn't be allowed. Paramedics says it's lucky no one 0:55:24.520 --> 0:55:27.640 was more seriously heard in a suspected gas explosion at 0:55:27.640 --> 0:55:31.320 an apartment block in leedkemb two manor in hospital. The 0:55:31.440 --> 0:55:34.880 Premier is ruling out legislative change which would allow poker 0:55:34.960 --> 0:55:39.080 machines at Crown Barangaroo. There are reports the casino operator 0:55:39.160 --> 0:55:42.759 has been lobbying to have a band lifted, and experts 0:55:42.880 --> 0:55:46.120 is scrambling to figure out what's behind the first fatal 0:55:46.160 --> 0:55:49.520 crash of a Boeing Dreamliner in India as seven eight 0:55:49.640 --> 0:55:53.080 seven went down shortly after takeoff, killing at least two 0:55:53.200 --> 0:55:56.840 hundred and sixty people.

This 0:56:15.400 --> 0:56:18.080 is at the first stop on his three country tour 0:56:18.200 --> 0:56:20.080 that he's embarked on what we met. 0:56:20.000 --> 0:56:22.799 As partners and friends that we can rely on who 0:56:22.840 --> 0:56:26.920 are trusted and here, my friend, are trusted partner and 0:56:27.080 --> 0:56:28.319 friend of Australia. 0:56:28.800 --> 0:56:30.720 Now, there are a lot of Australians actually in Fiji, 0:56:30.840 --> 0:56:33.719 yes on holidays, but certainly there's a fair population of 0:56:33.800 --> 0:56:36.239 expats that are living in Fiji as well. And the 0:56:36.280 --> 0:56:38.560 Prime Minister says, you'll have to take that into consideration 0:56:38.760 --> 0:56:39.480 at the next election. 0:56:39.800 --> 0:56:43.200 I must say here in the hotel, so far one 0:56:43.320 --> 0:56:46.160 hundred percent of people I have met have been Australian. 0:56:48.440 --> 0:56:50.640 In the next election campaign. 0:56:50.320 --> 0:56:53.960 I think I'll dawn off here in Fiji in order 0:56:54.040 --> 0:56:58.239 to make people from right across Australia who have come 0:56:58.400 --> 0:57:03.280 here to enjoy the warm weather and importantly the hospitality 0:57:03.360 --> 0:57:04.440 of your wonderful people. 0:57:04.600 --> 0:57:06.719 So that may be an indication that mister Albanezi is 0:57:06.800 --> 0:57:09.319 planning to run again at the next election in three 0:57:09.400 --> 0:57:12.320 years time, but he'll be campaigning in the Pacific, not 0:57:12.520 --> 0:57:14.520 in his electorate in inner Sydney. 0:57:14.840 --> 0:57:17.880 If it matters to you, you'll hear it here Sydney 0:57:17.960 --> 0:57:20.120 now with Clinton Maynard until. 0:57:20.000 --> 0:57:23.080 Six This is not an exaggeration.

It's forty years since 0:58:23.920 --> 0:58:25.960 his first solo album was released, Escapade, and he's going 0:58:26.000 --> 0:58:27.320 to be touring the country in a few months time, 0:58:27.640 --> 0:58:30.280 and he joins me on the program. Welcome Tim, nice 0:58:30.280 --> 0:58:32.320 to be here. I'm seeing you on the video at 0:58:32.360 --> 0:58:34.840 the moment. It's a video call, and I could I 0:58:34.880 --> 0:58:37.920 could hear listening to some of your your legendary tracks 0:58:37.960 --> 0:58:40.960 there when you say recorded with split ends six months 0:58:41.000 --> 0:58:43.440 in the leaky boat, and you're there and you're you're 0:58:43.480 --> 0:58:46.200 in the mixing studio and it's it's the final mix 0:58:46.320 --> 0:58:48.600 is done. Do you sit back and think we've got 0:58:48.640 --> 0:58:49.240 a good one here? 0:58:49.960 --> 0:58:50.440 I mean you do? 0:58:50.640 --> 0:58:53.000 You get excited, like you know, you work on them 0:58:53.080 --> 0:58:54.200 so hard though, that's the thing. 0:58:54.240 --> 0:58:56.640 He's been hundreds of hours, you know, if you combine 0:58:56.720 --> 0:58:59.440 the writing, rehearsing and then recording, and. 0:58:59.520 --> 0:59:01.280 So you are a bit kind of worn out with 0:59:01.360 --> 0:59:03.000 it by the time against the mixed stage. 0:59:03.040 --> 0:59:06.800 But then for some really good mechs and Eddie Rayner, 0:59:06.840 --> 0:59:09.240 our keyboard played quite a big part in this mex. 0:59:09.400 --> 0:59:11.560 Usually the band would sit back and let the engineer 0:59:11.640 --> 0:59:14.360 producer do most of the work. But Eddie got rolled 0:59:14.400 --> 0:59:17.400 up his sleeves and got involved, and so I remember 0:59:17.440 --> 0:59:21.080 the jubilant feeling that he was having and it sort 0:59:21.080 --> 0:59:23.880 of spread. It was very infectious, and I had to admit, Yeah, 0:59:24.240 --> 0:59:25.960 it was a rush this song, and kind of the 0:59:26.080 --> 0:59:28.520 speed of it surprised me because I wrote it as. 0:59:28.360 --> 0:59:31.080 A kind of mid tempo song and it just took 0:59:31.160 --> 0:59:31.880 off in the studio. 0:59:32.240 --> 0:59:34.760 Wanted to be faster, you know, and so it had 0:59:34.760 --> 0:59:37.280 a lot of a lot of excitement in it by 0:59:37.320 --> 0:59:38.120 the time we finished. 0:59:38.320 --> 0:59:39.120 What does the song mean? 0:59:39.200 --> 0:59:39.560 That song? 0:59:40.240 --> 0:59:43.400 Well, you know, I was reading a book about the pioneers, 0:59:43.440 --> 0:59:45.640 the early days of people coming out and ships and 0:59:45.680 --> 0:59:49.240 boats from Europe to Australia and New Zealand. 0:59:49.320 --> 0:59:53.760 Really those boats were stinky and smelly and horrible. They 0:59:53.800 --> 0:59:56.600 were crowded, there was no sanitation, and so I just 0:59:56.720 --> 0:59:59.040 kind of got into that because the band was going through. 1:00:00.400 --> 1:00:04.040 Quite a good time internally, but myself personally, I was 1:00:04.560 --> 1:00:08.040 my life was kind of falling apart a little bit. Yeah, 1:00:08.040 --> 1:00:09.880 I was having having a rough time. A long term 1:00:09.960 --> 1:00:14.320 relationship was ending, and I felt very fragile and exposed. 1:00:14.440 --> 1:00:16.680 So the band was my kind of safe place really, 1:00:16.720 --> 1:00:19.040 and so it's a song about that feeling of having 1:00:19.080 --> 1:00:23.680 your mates alongside you, supporting you, you know, a difficult time. 1:00:24.320 --> 1:00:26.360 Tim I was only I was only a little kid 1:00:26.480 --> 1:00:28.680 in the early nineteen eighties, and I was born in 1:00:28.920 --> 1:00:31.200 the mid late seventies and my mom was a key 1:00:31.240 --> 1:00:33.920 with though, so a lot of oddies feel affection for Kiwis. 1:00:33.960 --> 1:00:38.040 Of course, what was the theatrical side of Split Ends? 1:00:38.360 --> 1:00:39.520 What was the driver of that? 1:00:39.960 --> 1:00:41.680 Well, to be honest, I mean we were very influenced 1:00:41.720 --> 1:00:45.400 by sixties bands, particularly the Beatles. You think about the Beatles, 1:00:45.400 --> 1:00:47.240 every time they kind of came out, they had a 1:00:47.280 --> 1:00:47.800 different look. 1:00:47.880 --> 1:00:50.000 Man, Yeah it's Sargeant Pepers though I were wearing those 1:00:50.040 --> 1:00:53.360 really brightly colored suits. It just seemed normal to us 1:00:53.440 --> 1:00:55.200 to kind of dress up and put on a show, 1:00:55.400 --> 1:00:58.440 you know. And we've adopted these personas because they just 1:00:58.480 --> 1:00:59.200 felt right. 1:01:00.000 --> 1:01:02.560 Become a bit of a trademark, very different to the 1:01:02.840 --> 1:01:05.200 olds pub roxy of those days. 1:01:05.840 --> 1:01:06.560 Yeah, well that's right. 1:01:06.800 --> 1:01:09.600 In nineteen seventy five, we were playing the pubs around Alburn, 1:01:09.680 --> 1:01:12.240 particularly because we were signed to Mushroom Records at the time. 1:01:12.800 --> 1:01:15.000 Mark Gonenski and Frank Stabaala and all those. 1:01:14.840 --> 1:01:17.520 Guys were putting us into the pubs, and you know, 1:01:17.680 --> 1:01:20.120 we had a following of about six people. They came 1:01:20.160 --> 1:01:22.920 to every show and the rest of them were standing 1:01:22.960 --> 1:01:24.600 at the back of the room kind of scratched it. 1:01:24.600 --> 1:01:26.240 There, what's going on here? 1:01:27.040 --> 1:01:28.760 But you know they didn't forget us. I guess, you know, 1:01:28.800 --> 1:01:30.680 if they weren't sure, they still remembered us. 1:01:30.920 --> 1:01:33.000 I have read books about Split Ends and yourself and 1:01:33.160 --> 1:01:35.400 your brother. But how did Neil join the band? 1:01:36.080 --> 1:01:37.919 Well, we were looking for a guitar player. 1:01:38.000 --> 1:01:40.160 This was in nineteen seventy seven and the other founding 1:01:40.240 --> 1:01:42.800 member of the band, Philip Judd, had left the band 1:01:43.080 --> 1:01:45.960 and so we needed a guitar player. He had supported 1:01:46.040 --> 1:01:49.320 spind Ends when he was about sixteen through New Zealand, 1:01:49.520 --> 1:01:52.120 and we just knew he was a good singer, good songwriter. 1:01:52.560 --> 1:01:54.680 He never played electric guitar, but we figured he could 1:01:54.680 --> 1:01:56.960 pick it up pretty quickly when he was a little 1:01:57.000 --> 1:02:00.520 boys to encourage him with his piano lessons, so stepped 1:02:00.800 --> 1:02:03.680 in a lot of musical knowledge and very good singer. 1:02:03.800 --> 1:02:05.800 So you know, it was a no brainer when we 1:02:05.880 --> 1:02:06.760 finally clicked on it. 1:02:06.840 --> 1:02:09.600 You know, fast forward to your time the Crowded House, 1:02:09.920 --> 1:02:12.480 and certainly I've heard the stories that it was you 1:02:12.600 --> 1:02:15.040 and Neil writing songs together that would have been a 1:02:15.120 --> 1:02:17.720 Finn Brothers album. Effectively, when you put wood face together 1:02:17.720 --> 1:02:20.520 and you end up joining Crowded House. Did you want 1:02:20.560 --> 1:02:22.520 that stuff to be work with just you and your 1:02:22.520 --> 1:02:24.480 brother or were you're happy to sort of bring it 1:02:24.560 --> 1:02:25.360 into crowded House. 1:02:26.280 --> 1:02:29.240 Well, we wrote it as a brother's project, and we 1:02:29.600 --> 1:02:32.600 just set out distinctly to write harmony styles and so 1:02:32.680 --> 1:02:35.160 we were right weather with you and it's only natural, 1:02:35.560 --> 1:02:37.920 and they were all sort of fitting into this framework 1:02:37.960 --> 1:02:41.160 of the blood harmonies, you know, the two brothers singing together. 1:02:41.480 --> 1:02:43.480 It was because of the fact that Neil was stuck 1:02:43.560 --> 1:02:46.800 between because he had started this Crowded House record already 1:02:47.000 --> 1:02:49.520 already recorded for the two Feet a few of the 1:02:49.560 --> 1:02:52.360 other songs, handed it into the label and they said, no, 1:02:52.520 --> 1:02:53.480 we don't hear a single. 1:02:54.080 --> 1:02:58.800 So then we did our project. And then he was 1:02:58.840 --> 1:03:01.040 going through the agony of God, you know, because the 1:03:01.120 --> 1:03:02.600 worst thing you ever want to do is listen to 1:03:02.680 --> 1:03:04.800 the record company. But you can't help it, you know, 1:03:04.840 --> 1:03:06.840 they get in your head. And so he was a 1:03:06.920 --> 1:03:09.160 bit taught because we had all these other really good songs. 1:03:09.680 --> 1:03:12.440 They just fitted perfectly in the end. But it was 1:03:12.520 --> 1:03:14.120 a bit of a switch. But I think you know, 1:03:14.200 --> 1:03:17.040 by Nick and Paul particularly, I'm not sure you know, 1:03:17.320 --> 1:03:18.320 they handled it very well. 1:03:18.360 --> 1:03:20.120 They were very gracious. In fact, they were kind of 1:03:20.160 --> 1:03:23.360 excited to get into those songs as well. But you know, 1:03:23.440 --> 1:03:25.000 having two fins in the band was. 1:03:25.080 --> 1:03:25.640 A bit much. 1:03:25.680 --> 1:03:27.000 Probably it was a bit of a power block. 1:03:27.040 --> 1:03:29.880 I suppose we didn't intend it to be, you know, 1:03:30.160 --> 1:03:32.400 but it just skewed the band a little bit. But 1:03:32.480 --> 1:03:35.040 it was a fantastic time. We had an amazing touring. 1:03:35.480 --> 1:03:37.720 The record stands, you know, the test of time. 1:03:37.840 --> 1:03:40.760 So I was going to mention that tim because I'm 1:03:40.800 --> 1:03:42.480 thinking back to the days when I was in it. 1:03:42.640 --> 1:03:45.120 I was late teen, early twenties, and I think your music, 1:03:45.360 --> 1:03:47.600 that's probably when you suck up. I reckon most of 1:03:47.680 --> 1:03:49.440 your music, and breathing stays you for life. And so 1:03:50.240 --> 1:03:53.240 that era of grunge out of Seattle, and then there 1:03:53.320 --> 1:03:54.840 was you know, the hip hop stuff happening at the 1:03:54.840 --> 1:03:57.880 same time, would face I Reckon stand the test of time. 1:03:58.080 --> 1:04:01.360 Even all these years later, there are song It's only Natural, 1:04:01.760 --> 1:04:04.320 I think, is such a beautiful song still. 1:04:04.720 --> 1:04:05.240 Yeah, thank you? 1:04:05.400 --> 1:04:05.600 Yeah. 1:04:05.920 --> 1:04:08.160 Well I love playing that live and Neil does too, 1:04:08.280 --> 1:04:11.680 you know, so he's got his crowdit his latest incarnation 1:04:11.760 --> 1:04:12.479 of crowded house. 1:04:12.560 --> 1:04:15.240 They play that song. I go out and play when 1:04:15.240 --> 1:04:16.360 I'm doing a solo show. 1:04:16.560 --> 1:04:16.720 Yep. 1:04:17.000 --> 1:04:19.560 I had my daughter singing with me in Adelaide the 1:04:19.640 --> 1:04:22.240 other night. She's twenty two years of age now. The 1:04:22.280 --> 1:04:25.600 beautiful boys, so having that blood harmony. 1:04:25.280 --> 1:04:29.120 Again, me and my daughter, Me and Neil, Neil and Liam. 1:04:29.520 --> 1:04:32.120 You know, it just works and it's a beautiful song 1:04:32.200 --> 1:04:33.880 to do live, people just clicking. 1:04:34.520 --> 1:04:36.120 Well, it's a stunning song. 1:04:36.680 --> 1:04:36.840 Now. 1:04:36.880 --> 1:04:39.440 The two that you'll be embarking on in Australia later 1:04:39.520 --> 1:04:42.760 this year in August is to mark forty years since Escapade. 1:04:42.800 --> 1:04:45.200 So your first solo album, what is that? That album? Media? 1:04:45.720 --> 1:04:46.560 Well, it was it was. 1:04:46.720 --> 1:04:49.160 It was a very joyous kind of you know, because 1:04:49.360 --> 1:04:51.960 the band decides for the decided to decide to take 1:04:52.040 --> 1:04:55.120 six six weeks off, which don't sounds like we've been 1:04:55.200 --> 1:04:56.600 touring our asses. 1:04:56.320 --> 1:04:59.160 Off, you know for years, and so six weeks seem 1:04:59.240 --> 1:05:01.360 like a really nice time. It ended up being about 1:05:01.400 --> 1:05:04.080 three months, I think, But I just started writing. 1:05:04.120 --> 1:05:06.040 I had my piano there in the house, and you know, 1:05:06.120 --> 1:05:08.960 I'm always trying to write a song, so it seemed 1:05:08.960 --> 1:05:11.000 to me that the most fun I could have was 1:05:11.040 --> 1:05:13.720 to make a record. And then I met Rooky Fota 1:05:13.840 --> 1:05:16.120 because I heard him play drums on a Renee Gaer track, 1:05:16.520 --> 1:05:18.280 and I just thought, who the hell is that? You know, 1:05:18.280 --> 1:05:20.479 it was one of the best drum grooves I'd ever heard, 1:05:21.000 --> 1:05:23.800 and got to know Ricky and got Mark Moffert. 1:05:24.840 --> 1:05:27.960 You know, they co produced the record. Mate a whole 1:05:27.960 --> 1:05:30.480 lot of musicians through them. I mean, Vanetta feels I'm 1:05:30.520 --> 1:05:32.760 doing backing vocals. You know, she taught me so much. 1:05:33.320 --> 1:05:36.040 She came from a long, obviously long tradition of gospel 1:05:36.120 --> 1:05:38.600 and American R and B and soul music, so she 1:05:38.680 --> 1:05:42.440 brought some of that into the record. Richard t dropped 1:05:42.480 --> 1:05:44.680 in one night to play piano. He was on two 1:05:44.880 --> 1:05:47.920 Paul Simon. It was a liberation for me after ten 1:05:48.000 --> 1:05:48.640 years of being in. 1:05:48.680 --> 1:05:51.080 The band and again and that album is roughly a 1:05:51.120 --> 1:05:54.120 decade before would face and there are still songs, so 1:05:54.600 --> 1:05:57.680 I made my day. Everyone still recognized that song all 1:05:57.680 --> 1:05:58.600 these years later, you know. 1:05:58.960 --> 1:06:02.520 Yeah, it's one of the finger pointing sign like when 1:06:02.600 --> 1:06:05.000 you start doing it, you hit that chorus of the crowd. 1:06:07.160 --> 1:06:07.920 It's a good feeling. 1:06:08.160 --> 1:06:10.520 You'll be touring in August State Theater here in Sydney 1:06:10.560 --> 1:06:12.720 on the ninth of August and Leaders Theater in Thrule 1:06:13.000 --> 1:06:14.959 it's Northern Subur's Will and Gong. I saw a band 1:06:15.160 --> 1:06:17.400 you might know from the tea party last year and 1:06:17.520 --> 1:06:19.440 in Needer's Theater if you have if you haven't been there, 1:06:19.480 --> 1:06:22.600 it's a really beautiful historic building. It's a great little 1:06:22.680 --> 1:06:27.280 venue throughout August. Yeah, it's it's really great. Tickets through Ticketmaster. 1:06:27.400 --> 1:06:29.120 It has been a pleasure to speak to you. Thank 1:06:29.160 --> 1:06:31.360 you so much for your time, Tim, Thank you very much. 1:06:31.440 --> 1:06:38.280 Tim Finn. One of the crackers from Split ends six 1:06:38.400 --> 1:06:42.280 months in a Leaky Boat, written by Tim Finn. If 1:06:42.320 --> 1:06:43.959 you want to go and see it's a few months 1:06:44.000 --> 1:06:46.080 out from when Tim Finn is touring. He's touring his 1:06:46.240 --> 1:06:48.440 first solo album, which was Escapator. You'll be playing all 1:06:48.480 --> 1:06:52.640 the hits August nine State Theater. The tickets are available 1:06:52.760 --> 1:06:56.160 via Ticketmaster. As Steve has been reporting our traffic reports, 1:06:56.200 --> 1:06:59.640 there is still traffic chaos heading south General Homes drive 1:06:59.720 --> 1:07:02.360 south cross Dry through the Airport tunnel. Now this accident 1:07:02.440 --> 1:07:04.800 has now been cleared, so it'd involved four cars and 1:07:04.880 --> 1:07:07.520 a truck. Thankfully it does not appear that anyone's been 1:07:07.560 --> 1:07:09.360 seriously injured. But it's now being cleared away, but the 1:07:09.440 --> 1:07:11.240 traffic is still a nightmare and it's going to be 1:07:11.280 --> 1:07:13.040 a mess probably for the rest of the peak. 1:07:13.560 --> 1:07:17.120 We a part of Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard called 1:07:17.160 --> 1:07:18.960 one three one eight seven three. 1:07:19.240 --> 1:07:21.400 I brought your news yesterday during the program about the 1:07:21.480 --> 1:07:23.920 Order of the General's report into the way the government 1:07:24.000 --> 1:07:26.720 is regulating poker machines in New South Wales and the 1:07:26.880 --> 1:07:29.680 Order of the General has found there's not enough monitoring. Essentially, 1:07:29.840 --> 1:07:32.760 not enough is being done to help problem gambling and 1:07:32.880 --> 1:07:35.520 prevent problem gambling. As you know that the Labour Party 1:07:35.560 --> 1:07:38.680 is very much opposed to cashless gambling. I don't really 1:07:38.760 --> 1:07:41.240 understand why. Yes, there are significant lobby groups at play, 1:07:41.880 --> 1:07:45.440 but I suspect if there was actually cashless gambling that 1:07:45.480 --> 1:07:48.080 actually might help. It's the industry. Most people don't use 1:07:48.160 --> 1:07:51.080 cash these days. Nevertheless, there's been a development in this 1:07:51.160 --> 1:07:54.080 this afternoon. The Premier Chris Mins has ruled out allowing 1:07:54.200 --> 1:07:57.600 Crown to have poker machines at the brang Guru Casina. 1:07:57.800 --> 1:08:00.400 And this is really significant because the store he broke 1:08:00.440 --> 1:08:02.920 that there was a proposal for at least five hundred 1:08:03.040 --> 1:08:06.479 pokeing machines as a trial at the casino. The whole 1:08:06.520 --> 1:08:08.560 reason that casino was developed in the first place. It 1:08:08.640 --> 1:08:11.360 was supposed to be for high rollers and that Star 1:08:11.480 --> 1:08:13.920 wouldn't have the competition in the same way as you know, 1:08:14.080 --> 1:08:16.680 Star is a financial basket case. I want to bring 1:08:16.760 --> 1:08:18.560 Luke Grant in on this, and of course he'll be 1:08:18.880 --> 1:08:20.439 presenting the Weekend Morning program tomorrow. 1:08:20.520 --> 1:08:23.360 Hello Luke good a Clinton good a bit to bring 1:08:23.400 --> 1:08:25.280 me in on a punting story, Thank you mate? 1:08:25.560 --> 1:08:27.479 Or what do you think do you think Crown should 1:08:27.479 --> 1:08:28.559 be allowed to have Pokeys? 1:08:30.000 --> 1:08:33.160 Well, look, the deal was done a decade ago. Things 1:08:33.240 --> 1:08:35.599 were a bit different back then, so you can understand. 1:08:35.840 --> 1:08:38.080 And look, they know their business model and they think 1:08:38.160 --> 1:08:41.439 they can probably do better with five hundred pokem machines. 1:08:41.439 --> 1:08:43.320 But you've got to look at the deal as it 1:08:43.479 --> 1:08:46.880 was put and the deal is apparently they be those 1:08:47.000 --> 1:08:52.679 cashless machines and they'd remove five hundred from other venues 1:08:53.800 --> 1:08:56.240 so they could put five hundred at Barangaroots, so there 1:08:56.240 --> 1:08:59.679 would be no net increase in the number of pokem machines. 1:09:00.080 --> 1:09:03.320 What I didn't though, was that in New South Wales 1:09:03.560 --> 1:09:07.599 there's eighty seven thousand, seven hundred and forty nine poker machines. 1:09:08.360 --> 1:09:09.240 I couldn't believe it. 1:09:09.960 --> 1:09:12.439 They generate a profit of just under eight and a 1:09:12.479 --> 1:09:16.040 half billion, and the government takes about two billion in 1:09:16.200 --> 1:09:20.240 tax back to the proposal. So they're here, We've got 1:09:20.320 --> 1:09:23.760 half of Austraateer's machines in New South Wales and I 1:09:23.800 --> 1:09:26.600 think Chris Means is right to say he inherited this 1:09:26.720 --> 1:09:29.679 and you know he can't get it fixed if getting 1:09:29.720 --> 1:09:32.880 it fixed means reducing the numbers of machines, and that's 1:09:33.120 --> 1:09:37.200 obviously what the Order to General is getting at. But 1:09:38.240 --> 1:09:40.599 what gets me is that someone in government has actually 1:09:40.760 --> 1:09:43.960 said to the people of Crown, hey, look, your idea 1:09:44.040 --> 1:09:46.120 is not a bad one. So there's going to be 1:09:46.200 --> 1:09:48.640 no net increase in machines and they're going to be 1:09:48.720 --> 1:09:52.280 cashless but made. If you read the political tea leaves 1:09:52.479 --> 1:09:56.040 there is no leader liberal or labor, no leader who 1:09:56.160 --> 1:09:58.960 can tip off and adding five hundred machines to a 1:09:59.080 --> 1:10:01.639 venue as a matter that the deal was done ten 1:10:01.720 --> 1:10:05.040 years ago. The mood is not there for the people 1:10:05.120 --> 1:10:08.120 to say, hey, you're beauty, so the Premier had to 1:10:08.200 --> 1:10:08.599 do what he did. 1:10:08.680 --> 1:10:11.599 In my view, they just generally on podcast sins Luke. Look, 1:10:11.880 --> 1:10:13.960 I've never really been attracted to them. I reckon if 1:10:14.040 --> 1:10:15.600 you can afford it, and you know a problem. You 1:10:15.640 --> 1:10:17.960 want to play them go your hardest? Do you play them? 1:10:17.960 --> 1:10:18.479 Do you like them? 1:10:19.920 --> 1:10:23.360 Look twenty years ago I did. I'd play them every week, 1:10:23.439 --> 1:10:26.120 but mate, I haven't. Or the other day went out 1:10:26.200 --> 1:10:30.799 for dinner and we let we let a pineapple run around. 1:10:30.920 --> 1:10:33.720 But other than that, maybe once or twice a year. 1:10:34.360 --> 1:10:37.519 And look, I'll consider myself lucky. You are too. You know, 1:10:38.280 --> 1:10:40.280 I don't see one thing could give me a hundred bucks. 1:10:40.320 --> 1:10:42.519 You got to feed that thing. But there are people 1:10:42.600 --> 1:10:45.479 that can't do that, that you know, have that addiction, 1:10:45.760 --> 1:10:48.479 and you know you've just got it. As a society, 1:10:48.560 --> 1:10:51.800 we've got to account for those people. Obviously, whatever they've 1:10:51.840 --> 1:10:54.360 done hasn't been enough. And I think it's now what 1:10:54.439 --> 1:10:57.720 about twelve hundred dollars per person we lose in New 1:10:57.760 --> 1:11:00.880 South Wales the individual machines each year. 1:11:00.960 --> 1:11:04.960 That's astonishing, it's astronomical. What's coming up on the show tomorrow. 1:11:05.760 --> 1:11:08.439 We'll get to Dennis Shanahan and have a chat about 1:11:08.479 --> 1:11:11.200 the week it was politically, Boy, isn't there some stuff there? 1:11:11.280 --> 1:11:14.559 Elbow has gone to see Trump, we hope, I mean 1:11:14.960 --> 1:11:18.080 he's stopped off a three G fair enough he's got 1:11:18.120 --> 1:11:20.640 to keep sweet with our neighbors. But you would have 1:11:20.720 --> 1:11:26.080 think with the rumored unraveling of Orcus that you know what, 1:11:26.439 --> 1:11:28.320 we'll just make We'll just make a breeline to the 1:11:28.479 --> 1:11:30.920 US and just have a chat to someone that knows 1:11:31.000 --> 1:11:33.920 what's going on. At least look like you're half interested. 1:11:35.400 --> 1:11:37.679 So we'll talk to Dennis about that and the political 1:11:37.800 --> 1:11:43.240 fallout all around that as well. This fascinating trial of 1:11:43.439 --> 1:11:47.840 Aaron Patterson in Victoria, called by many of the Mushroom trial, 1:11:48.800 --> 1:11:52.320 Say Grace is a podcast done by nine Penelope Lersh 1:11:53.000 --> 1:11:55.960 and her colleagues do a brittant job in this. There's 1:11:56.000 --> 1:11:58.240 not much we can talk about because of the restriction 1:11:58.360 --> 1:12:00.559 on what we can and can't say, but we can 1:12:00.640 --> 1:12:03.920 certainly tell you about the town that the trial's happening 1:12:04.000 --> 1:12:06.519 in and the locals who are turning up to watch 1:12:06.600 --> 1:12:11.040 what's going on, and just how they do with reporting 1:12:11.240 --> 1:12:12.439 this trial. 1:12:12.479 --> 1:12:13.920 I mean true crime. 1:12:13.960 --> 1:12:16.600 As you know, Mate is a real thing. Ossie is 1:12:16.680 --> 1:12:17.519 love it, don't they well? 1:12:17.560 --> 1:12:20.080 Particularly on podcasts and books as well. 1:12:20.920 --> 1:12:22.600 Craig Bennett will look at the life and times of 1:12:22.640 --> 1:12:27.480 Brian Wilson.

Our remarkable Ossie, are remarkable the 1:12:34.160 --> 1:12:36.880 former Deputy Commissioner of the New South Pest Police and 1:12:37.000 --> 1:12:39.479 has done so much more. Nick Calvis will have a 1:12:39.560 --> 1:12:41.240 chat to him on Sunday as well. Mate, all that 1:12:41.400 --> 1:12:44.439 coming up of the weekend from nine both days, please 1:12:44.479 --> 1:12:48.040 tell me your tip Newcastle, no Ah. 1:12:49.240 --> 1:12:56.160 And tip Newcastle. I'm coming last. Still, I'm still coming last. Hey, 1:12:56.200 --> 1:12:57.240 we'll be listening tomorrow morning. 1:12:57.840 --> 1:12:59.160 Thanks Buddy, Luke Grant. 1:12:59.160 --> 1:13:05.040 Saturday and Sunday from nine o'clock there is Sydney Now 1:13:05.520 --> 1:13:10.719 with Clinton Maynard on to gb Friday afternoon. The weekend 1:13:10.800 --> 1:13:12.400 is almost here, but there is a lot of breaking 1:13:12.520 --> 1:13:15.160 news right at the moment. This has just come through 1:13:15.200 --> 1:13:18.160 from the Fair Work Commission. The Fair Work Commission has 1:13:18.320 --> 1:13:21.360 ruled in favor of Sydney Trains and the ongoing dispute 1:13:21.640 --> 1:13:24.479 with the Combined Rail Union. So what this means, and 1:13:24.560 --> 1:13:26.560 the RTBU I should point out, is actually on the 1:13:26.640 --> 1:13:29.960 side in this particular issue with Sydney Trains. What this 1:13:30.200 --> 1:13:32.880 means is the union members themselves who work on the 1:13:32.960 --> 1:13:35.400 network will vote on whether accept the new pay deal. 1:13:35.920 --> 1:13:39.240 The ETU was the union that represents about eight hundred 1:13:39.240 --> 1:13:41.920 odd workers. They were the ones holding out. Well, the 1:13:41.960 --> 1:13:45.040 Fairwork Commission's basically decided enough is enough. Let's put it 1:13:45.120 --> 1:13:47.000 to the members. So there'll be a vote of the 1:13:47.040 --> 1:13:49.439 members whether they'll accept the deal. It's a twelve percent 1:13:49.479 --> 1:13:51.479 pay rise over three years, so four percent a year. 1:13:51.520 --> 1:13:53.160 It's less than what the unions, it's more than what 1:13:53.240 --> 1:13:55.920 the state government wanted to pay. That will go to 1:13:56.000 --> 1:13:58.599 a vote. I would suggest that it will be voted 1:13:58.680 --> 1:14:01.960 in favor of because the ART which has eight thousand members, 1:14:02.000 --> 1:14:04.240 actually more than eight thousand members, is very much in 1:14:04.360 --> 1:14:07.640 support of this. So I think you will find that 1:14:07.800 --> 1:14:11.240 this will result in this deal being approved and hopefully 1:14:11.320 --> 1:14:14.800 that means an end to industrial action, we hope. Now 1:14:14.960 --> 1:14:17.800 the Prime Minister has begun his international tour. He is 1:14:17.920 --> 1:14:20.360 visiting three countries. He will be at the G seven 1:14:20.400 --> 1:14:22.360 with the United States. He is seeking a meeting with 1:14:22.439 --> 1:14:25.080 President Trump. They will be discussing orcast now that yet 1:14:25.160 --> 1:14:27.080 has not been confirmed. He hasn't confirmed that he will 1:14:27.080 --> 1:14:30.080 be meeting with President Trump. However, he has stopped on 1:14:30.200 --> 1:14:33.680 the way in Fiji. He is meeting City Rambuka right 1:14:33.680 --> 1:14:35.960 at the moment, and he has been asked about the 1:14:36.040 --> 1:14:39.760 ongoing situation, the developing situation between Israel and Iran. Now 1:14:39.800 --> 1:14:43.439 the latest on that is Iran has deployed dozens and 1:14:43.560 --> 1:14:46.800 dozens of drones and they are in the process. The 1:14:47.000 --> 1:14:50.479 Israeli military is in the process of intercepting those drones. 1:14:50.560 --> 1:14:52.800 This is what Anthony Albernizi has had to say just 1:14:52.840 --> 1:14:53.519 a short time ago. 1:14:53.840 --> 1:14:58.720 We are very aware of what has occurred and it 1:14:58.920 --> 1:15:04.200 is earning any escalation in the region. My message to 1:15:04.479 --> 1:15:08.120 Australians is that the Department of Foreign Affairs in trade 1:15:08.960 --> 1:15:16.320 are upgrading very soon, the messages to Australians about warning 1:15:16.360 --> 1:15:21.280 about travel to the region. We want to see a dialogue. 1:15:21.720 --> 1:15:25.519 We of course are very conscious of the threat that 1:15:25.760 --> 1:15:29.960 Iran becoming a nuclear state would represent to peace and 1:15:30.040 --> 1:15:32.000 security in the region as well. 1:15:32.640 --> 1:15:35.719 We want to see these issues resolve through. 1:15:35.640 --> 1:15:39.200 Dialogue and the United States has been playing an important 1:15:39.280 --> 1:15:39.680 role there. 1:15:39.800 --> 1:15:43.040 Anthony Albernezi, echoing what his Foreign Minister Pennywong had to 1:15:43.040 --> 1:15:44.920 say a little ear in the day, that dialogue is 1:15:45.000 --> 1:15:48.680 necessary here to be honest. After hearing what Benjaminettenya, who 1:15:48.720 --> 1:15:50.519 has had to say and what the Uranians about to say. 1:15:50.600 --> 1:15:52.640 I can't imagine there's going to be much dialogue in 1:15:52.680 --> 1:15:53.759 the next twenty four hours. 1:15:54.600 --> 1:15:56.920 You'll want to know what's happening in Sydney. 1:15:57.439 --> 1:16:02.400 Stay true to Sydney Now with on to gymb. 1:16:03.840 --> 1:16:12.439 Eight seven three is our number on Sydney Now Table. 1:16:14.120 --> 1:16:16.880 It is the Friday Round Table. Let's have a bit 1:16:16.960 --> 1:16:20.240 of fun for a Friday afternoon in the studio with 1:16:20.320 --> 1:16:25.160 me this afternoon. Amanda Rose Hello, Hello, Hello, and also 1:16:25.479 --> 1:16:28.840 special guest, first time he's making his debut on the 1:16:28.920 --> 1:16:31.800 Friday Round Table. He's got a bit of experience in 1:16:31.840 --> 1:16:35.360 this game. John Stanley, Hello, John, Hello, How are you mate? 1:16:35.640 --> 1:16:37.640 How are you feeling after last night? Just before we 1:16:37.680 --> 1:16:38.760 get into the issues of the day. 1:16:39.080 --> 1:16:41.000 We had a good show last night. It was terrific, 1:16:41.160 --> 1:16:44.040 lots of calls, lots of variety. Was a very good show. 1:16:44.200 --> 1:16:46.960 So yeah, feeling quite good. And I've come up the 1:16:47.080 --> 1:16:51.439 mid North coast. What what are you referring to? Which 1:16:51.520 --> 1:16:52.519 part of the program are. 1:16:52.400 --> 1:16:54.760 You talk There was a football game last wen, Well, 1:16:54.800 --> 1:16:55.920 I was too busy watch. 1:16:55.920 --> 1:16:56.679 We're doing my show. 1:16:57.040 --> 1:16:58.639 He was too busy working Clinton. 1:16:59.120 --> 1:17:00.720 What was the what was a football game? 1:17:00.800 --> 1:17:02.519 I think I think the Crown of Sharks defeated this 1:17:02.600 --> 1:17:04.920 and George of Laura Dragons from memory they. 1:17:05.240 --> 1:17:07.880 They played last night. Okay, I'll look it up. We'll 1:17:07.880 --> 1:17:09.479 have a look and see if I can check the score. 1:17:09.720 --> 1:17:11.479 Was that actually waiting for my phone to ring at 1:17:11.479 --> 1:17:13.240 about ten o'clock last night because I thought I did 1:17:13.320 --> 1:17:13.880 getting your phone. 1:17:14.080 --> 1:17:15.880 I'll tell you what was interesting. I'll tell you what 1:17:16.080 --> 1:17:21.240 was interesting. Clinton's there's a couple of people who love 1:17:22.200 --> 1:17:24.759 essentially you know, those little kids that run around school 1:17:24.800 --> 1:17:27.479 yards gain Nan and so I got a couple of 1:17:27.520 --> 1:17:31.000 text messages from a couple of Narks early in the game, 1:17:31.840 --> 1:17:35.639 and then and then they shut up until halftime. Nothing 1:17:36.320 --> 1:17:39.080 I and I actually and I said he, I said, listen, 1:17:39.160 --> 1:17:41.679 this is going to turn around. So you Blake's who's 1:17:42.040 --> 1:17:44.320 making out that your phones are broken? I'm waiting for it. 1:17:44.360 --> 1:17:47.519 And of course they started again. It's just so childish, 1:17:47.600 --> 1:17:50.960 isn't it. Really? It's childish. You're having hot shots at 1:17:51.040 --> 1:17:54.320 people over their football teams, and particularly. 1:17:55.840 --> 1:17:56.600 To Australia. 1:17:57.360 --> 1:17:59.759 It's ridiculous. It's childish. 1:18:00.360 --> 1:18:03.080 Are you a passionate sports fan, Amanda, No, I'm not. 1:18:03.680 --> 1:18:04.800 It is a very estrange thing. 1:18:04.880 --> 1:18:09.040 Look it is Look the whole pettiness with John was saying, 1:18:09.080 --> 1:18:12.080 it's very real in Australia, not just sporting, it's in 1:18:12.200 --> 1:18:14.200 business too, syndrome. 1:18:14.240 --> 1:18:17.519 Have you seen my shark SOPs? Look? 1:18:17.920 --> 1:18:20.639 I like the commitment people have to our sporting teams. 1:18:21.000 --> 1:18:23.040 I draw the line when you cry over them. 1:18:23.240 --> 1:18:25.880 Now, new data has been released. New data has been 1:18:25.920 --> 1:18:28.720 released by the software company at Lassion. It's found that 1:18:28.840 --> 1:18:31.720 sixty one percent of gen Z workers are more likely 1:18:31.800 --> 1:18:34.639 to read a message, so a text message that includes 1:18:34.840 --> 1:18:38.839 an emoji. You work a lot with business, as Amanda, 1:18:39.000 --> 1:18:41.280 do you find this is the way that people within 1:18:41.360 --> 1:18:44.439 business communicate via emojis, little symbols. 1:18:44.560 --> 1:18:46.120 Look, let me tell you a story. 1:18:46.439 --> 1:18:50.400 I remember I hired a particular gen Z to work 1:18:50.439 --> 1:18:54.679 with me and I was responding with okay, good, sounds great, 1:18:55.120 --> 1:18:57.800 and then I got the are you angry at me? 1:18:58.640 --> 1:19:01.360 Because I was so efficient with my responses, And then 1:19:01.400 --> 1:19:03.759 I realized, oh, I need to throw in an emoji 1:19:04.120 --> 1:19:07.000 and it's all good and a smiley face. And so 1:19:07.200 --> 1:19:11.120 really what it is it's more of an emotional check 1:19:11.200 --> 1:19:13.760 are you okay? Because when you think about it, like 1:19:13.920 --> 1:19:16.640 back in the day, we had face to face conversations. 1:19:16.720 --> 1:19:18.320 We could read people's emotions. 1:19:18.360 --> 1:19:21.920 We can understand if they're angry or happy. So we've 1:19:21.920 --> 1:19:25.000 got a very sensitive generation that aren't quite sure. So 1:19:25.120 --> 1:19:27.040 that is why I say, when you work with someone, 1:19:27.479 --> 1:19:29.800 you should sit down and say, how do we communicate? 1:19:29.880 --> 1:19:31.920 What is your language? Do you like email? Do you 1:19:32.040 --> 1:19:32.519 like texts? 1:19:32.960 --> 1:19:35.120 What is the best way to do this? But when 1:19:35.160 --> 1:19:38.200 you go too far with you emojis, it's usually a 1:19:38.280 --> 1:19:38.719 red flag. 1:19:38.800 --> 1:19:40.599 I'm just going through my text messages on my phone 1:19:40.600 --> 1:19:42.560 at the moment, so I don't really I think I 1:19:42.680 --> 1:19:44.920 sometimes use the thumbs up. I don't see. 1:19:45.000 --> 1:19:48.880 That's a tricky one because thumbs up can also mean 1:19:49.040 --> 1:19:50.920 good and also mean get stuffed. 1:19:51.240 --> 1:19:53.960 Oh right, well, I'm just looking through my text message 1:19:54.000 --> 1:19:56.840 file from John Stanley. There is not one emoji that 1:19:56.960 --> 1:19:59.280 John has exchanged me. So you don't use emojis? 1:19:59.360 --> 1:20:00.599 John, Why don't you emojis? 1:20:00.640 --> 1:20:00.720 Now? 1:20:00.800 --> 1:20:02.439 You can just use words, can't you? What would you 1:20:02.520 --> 1:20:05.080 use emojis? Or I like to actually send pictures sometimes 1:20:05.080 --> 1:20:05.960 I've got. 1:20:05.880 --> 1:20:08.000 Lots of pictures in this I've sent you emojis in 1:20:08.040 --> 1:20:11.280 our text Clinton. See I'm listening to Marley face. I 1:20:11.360 --> 1:20:12.920 can see a miss shocked face. 1:20:13.240 --> 1:20:15.479 There's a string of emoji. See that a politician has said. 1:20:16.200 --> 1:20:17.920 I won't name this particular politician. 1:20:18.439 --> 1:20:18.640 You know. 1:20:18.800 --> 1:20:21.679 The thing about this is it's all because these days 1:20:21.760 --> 1:20:25.080 no one answers their phone. They use text and the 1:20:25.240 --> 1:20:29.320 idea of someone actually tried to ring me today and said, 1:20:29.520 --> 1:20:31.240 your message bank's for so well, I never listen to 1:20:31.280 --> 1:20:33.800 a message bank. No one, I mean, does anyone actually 1:20:33.880 --> 1:20:36.760 leave messages and use the message bank? No one uses that. 1:20:37.360 --> 1:20:41.599 But I wonder, because the emoji thing, this will change 1:20:41.680 --> 1:20:44.479 really quickly. Five years from now, there'll be something else. Yes, 1:20:44.720 --> 1:20:47.640 everything's changing really really quickly, and you've got to be 1:20:47.760 --> 1:20:49.519 up with it. Clinton, You've got to get onto this. 1:20:49.600 --> 1:20:51.880 No, I think it's generational because I've just received a 1:20:51.880 --> 1:20:53.720 text message from one of our colleagues, Mark Levy, and 1:20:53.760 --> 1:20:55.800 I'm looking through the file of Mark Levy messages that 1:20:55.840 --> 1:20:57.840 he sent me over the last few months. There's no 1:20:57.920 --> 1:21:00.439 emoji from Mark. I should read this text message though, Amanda. 1:21:00.680 --> 1:21:03.040 All right, it does say does this count as the 1:21:03.160 --> 1:21:05.680 fifth day of work for John? Because of course he 1:21:05.680 --> 1:21:10.280 doesn't work on Fridays. Mark works six days a week, 1:21:10.320 --> 1:21:14.360 sometimes seven, he does. 1:21:15.000 --> 1:21:18.000 What about what about Michael McLaren. He sends letters still, 1:21:18.120 --> 1:21:20.519 he'll see if he wants to tell you something. I 1:21:20.720 --> 1:21:22.120 like what you them in your show last night, He'll 1:21:22.120 --> 1:21:23.720 actually write, He'll post you a letter. 1:21:23.920 --> 1:21:24.800 I love that. 1:21:24.960 --> 1:21:28.040 I actually have my own set with my name on 1:21:28.120 --> 1:21:31.680 it and a seal, a wax letters. I've got a 1:21:31.720 --> 1:21:33.920 wax seal so a friend actually got that for me 1:21:34.520 --> 1:21:36.240 for my birthday and it says from the desk of 1:21:36.320 --> 1:21:40.400 Amanda Rose and it's a bunch of you know, paper 1:21:40.479 --> 1:21:42.800 with envelopes with a wax seal. 1:21:43.960 --> 1:21:47.320 Seven three is the number. Let us know. Do you 1:21:47.520 --> 1:21:49.760 use emoji? So I've been sending a text message from 1:21:49.800 --> 1:21:53.320 Dave the bus driver. He says, Clinton thumbs up. There's 1:21:53.320 --> 1:21:55.960 a picture of bus. There's a smiley face, there's a 1:21:56.040 --> 1:21:58.720 heart beat beat, there's a picture of a hamburger. 1:21:58.240 --> 1:21:59.760 A beer a. 1:22:00.240 --> 1:22:02.439 People think I'm obsessed with trains. I'm just frustrated by them. 1:22:02.479 --> 1:22:04.360 As a smiley face, I. 1:22:04.479 --> 1:22:05.000 Like the burger. 1:22:06.280 --> 1:22:08.760 Seven three emojis. Now it's Friday the thirteenth, so I 1:22:08.760 --> 1:22:10.720 actually didn't realize it was Friday, the thursdayth until I 1:22:10.760 --> 1:22:13.080 physically read the date at the start of the program. 1:22:13.200 --> 1:22:14.680 Do you have superstitions Amanda. 1:22:14.560 --> 1:22:17.080 Absolutely not, But I do like to torment people that do. 1:22:18.080 --> 1:22:24.280 John well. For instance, I've got it well when I'm 1:22:24.320 --> 1:22:26.439 watching because I follow the Dragons and I follow the 1:22:26.520 --> 1:22:29.280 Giants and follow a couple of other teams and other sports. 1:22:29.320 --> 1:22:31.639 But so what I'll do is I'll wear my always 1:22:31.680 --> 1:22:33.639 wear my jumper while the game's on, even if I'm 1:22:33.640 --> 1:22:35.320 watching it at home or in the studio. I had 1:22:35.360 --> 1:22:37.920 it on under my jumper last night. If they win, 1:22:38.240 --> 1:22:40.799 I don't wash the jumper, so I could go actually 1:22:41.040 --> 1:22:43.400 win a couple of weeks without washing, but I washed 1:22:43.439 --> 1:22:46.679 straight after. So it's got to be washed after a defeat. 1:22:46.880 --> 1:22:48.599 Washes out the defeat, and you have to be wearing 1:22:48.640 --> 1:22:50.479 the jumper. So I brought my Giants jumper up to 1:22:50.520 --> 1:22:52.800 watch tomorrow. They lost last week, so I'm hoping that 1:22:52.880 --> 1:22:55.560 we'll be okay. I've had that jump or washed. And 1:22:56.080 --> 1:22:59.360 in fact, I went to watch the Giants play Richmond 1:23:00.080 --> 1:23:03.599 out at Home Bush and I was in a function room, 1:23:03.640 --> 1:23:05.439 but I have my jumper with me, and the first 1:23:05.520 --> 1:23:08.960 three quarters they're playing terribly hang on, so I put 1:23:09.000 --> 1:23:12.479 the jumper back on and they won. They won right 1:23:12.520 --> 1:23:15.439 at the death, So I think that's a superstition, but I. 1:23:16.560 --> 1:23:17.040 Believe in it. 1:23:17.200 --> 1:23:20.120 I'm not superstitious. But last night I didn't go to 1:23:20.200 --> 1:23:22.240 the game because I thought that would be bad karma, 1:23:22.320 --> 1:23:23.960 because I went to the last Sharks game and they 1:23:23.960 --> 1:23:26.160 were flogged. So I didn't go to the game last night. 1:23:26.400 --> 1:23:28.360 But I stood there in the wardrobe, John, I've got 1:23:28.360 --> 1:23:29.880 one of those walking wardrobes, and I've got all the 1:23:30.120 --> 1:23:32.840 Sharks jerseys lined up. I put a great deal of 1:23:32.920 --> 1:23:35.560 thought into which one that i'd wear. Everyone does, so 1:23:35.640 --> 1:23:39.240 I deliberately wore a Shark's jersey from about three years 1:23:39.240 --> 1:23:41.639 ago where we played a preseason game at Cogra Oval, 1:23:41.840 --> 1:23:44.000 your home ground, and we won. I thought that'd be 1:23:44.040 --> 1:23:44.519 good karma. 1:23:45.400 --> 1:23:45.599 Good. 1:23:45.760 --> 1:23:46.080 All right. 1:23:47.160 --> 1:23:48.599 When I really need a lot of help, I wear 1:23:48.640 --> 1:23:51.200 the twenty ten jumper, which has been signed by Wayne Bennett. 1:23:51.360 --> 1:23:54.120 But you got to say that signed by Wayne Bennett, 1:23:54.160 --> 1:23:55.040 and then I like it. 1:23:55.400 --> 1:24:06.200 Yeah, Okay, if you've got qride a the thirteenth superstitions, 1:24:06.680 --> 1:24:09.000 let us knact our number one three one eight seven 1:24:09.080 --> 1:24:13.720 three back to the roundtable. In a moment, the transformittist 1:24:13.760 --> 1:24:15.920 to John Graham has just released a statement after the 1:24:15.960 --> 1:24:18.800 Fair Work Commission made a ruling that a direction is 1:24:18.880 --> 1:24:21.479 made that all the members of all the combined rail 1:24:21.560 --> 1:24:24.760 unions they get to vote. It's a democracy, they'll get 1:24:24.760 --> 1:24:27.120 to decide whether they'll accept this new pay deal from 1:24:27.160 --> 1:24:29.240 the state government. Mister Graham says the new South Wales 1:24:29.280 --> 1:24:31.840 government welcomes the Fair Work Commission's order to put in 1:24:31.960 --> 1:24:34.760 principal agreement to a ballot. This is another critical step 1:24:35.120 --> 1:24:37.439 in ending disruption from a million rail commuters. It is 1:24:37.520 --> 1:24:39.840 time to let the workforce decide. The government's viewers that 1:24:39.920 --> 1:24:42.040 this is a good deal for the rail workers. It 1:24:42.080 --> 1:24:44.760 will pass. I've been in contact with the Rail, Tram 1:24:44.840 --> 1:24:47.680 and Bus union management. They are supportive of it. Now 1:24:47.800 --> 1:24:49.839 they have eight thousand members. That's more than a majority, 1:24:49.960 --> 1:24:51.840 is only eight hundred e to ye members, so the 1:24:51.920 --> 1:24:54.360 deal will pass. It means they get a twelve percent 1:24:54.400 --> 1:24:57.200 pay rise over three years. Hopefully it means there's no 1:24:57.320 --> 1:25:05.360 more industrial action. An expanded edition of the Roundtable This afternoon, 1:25:05.479 --> 1:25:08.000 we have John Stanley who is broadcasting from the mid 1:25:08.080 --> 1:25:10.080 North Coast. Amanda Rose now Mark Leave He's joined us 1:25:10.080 --> 1:25:10.360 as well. 1:25:10.560 --> 1:25:13.960 Hello team, how are you going? Hello John part time. 1:25:15.000 --> 1:25:16.600 Very well mate, I'm looking forward to filling in for 1:25:16.680 --> 1:25:19.120 you and not calling them football from seven o'clock. I've 1:25:19.120 --> 1:25:21.600 been listening to Clinton on the way in and I 1:25:21.760 --> 1:25:23.639 just I just thought i'd pop in and ask a question. 1:25:23.760 --> 1:25:25.960 So I get a lot of messages from like, I'll 1:25:26.040 --> 1:25:28.240 range of people from different walks of life, and when 1:25:28.240 --> 1:25:30.200 I'm busy, I just do the thumbs up emoji. 1:25:30.360 --> 1:25:30.920 Is that rude? 1:25:32.160 --> 1:25:35.000 Oh, when you're busy? Yeah, to acknowledge that it's a 1:25:35.080 --> 1:25:37.360 yes if you. 1:25:37.479 --> 1:25:39.600 Have a history with them and they know that's what 1:25:39.800 --> 1:25:40.200 you mean. 1:25:40.360 --> 1:25:42.479 Like, that's okay, because it could be you know, the 1:25:42.760 --> 1:25:45.679 two fingers together, okay, but thumbs up yet, that's good. 1:25:45.600 --> 1:25:48.080 If you're known for that. But if you don't use 1:25:48.120 --> 1:25:50.160 it often and then all of a sudden you get 1:25:50.200 --> 1:25:52.360 thumbs up, it actually means well, I. 1:25:52.400 --> 1:25:54.240 Didn't realize I was going through my phone just to 1:25:54.320 --> 1:25:57.240 have a look at who I've given the thumbs up to. You, Regia, Well, 1:25:57.360 --> 1:26:00.240 without wanting to lam drop, I gave the thumb up 1:26:00.240 --> 1:26:03.080 to the Prime Minister. He texted me during the floods 1:26:03.080 --> 1:26:04.400 and I gave him a thumbs up, and I thought 1:26:04.400 --> 1:26:05.040 that's a bit rude. 1:26:05.240 --> 1:26:05.439 Good. 1:26:08.120 --> 1:26:09.439 Yeah, I won't tell you what the next time. 1:26:10.040 --> 1:26:12.879 But my wife has just sent me a text message. 1:26:13.600 --> 1:26:17.080 It starts with a sad face and then there's a 1:26:17.160 --> 1:26:18.160 thumbs up at the end. 1:26:19.160 --> 1:26:23.840 Has the round table become marriage counselor how are you John? 1:26:24.479 --> 1:26:28.640 I'm not too actually, Michael McLaren rang the switch to 1:26:28.760 --> 1:26:32.519 say he's got some strong words about my suggestion. He 1:26:32.600 --> 1:26:35.479 soule fashion. He writes letters I should get I should 1:26:35.520 --> 1:26:40.200 get those words in the post delivery on Monday. He 1:26:40.320 --> 1:26:44.320 managed to get him into the He's taking. He raced 1:26:44.400 --> 1:26:46.759 up and posted it just before six o'clock. He reckons 1:26:46.800 --> 1:26:47.759 it'll get in on Monday. 1:26:48.680 --> 1:26:50.679 Seven threes and number Ian has a view on the emergence. 1:26:50.720 --> 1:26:54.639 Hello William, Hey, go on guys enjoying the program? 1:26:55.120 --> 1:26:56.200 Do you use the emergenes? 1:26:57.800 --> 1:26:58.000 Look? 1:26:58.040 --> 1:26:58.960 I do, I do. 1:26:59.160 --> 1:27:01.599 I know some people to overdo them, but I think 1:27:01.680 --> 1:27:04.720 emojis to have a place because text messages can be 1:27:04.840 --> 1:27:07.519 very bland, and they can be interpreted in terms of 1:27:07.560 --> 1:27:11.320 its tone or context sometimes so you know, and particularly 1:27:11.360 --> 1:27:15.560 you're talking about something that's more emotive, particular between the 1:27:15.600 --> 1:27:18.000 male and the female sexers, and it can be interpreted 1:27:18.000 --> 1:27:21.400 in different ways. I think sometimes the emoji just adds 1:27:21.560 --> 1:27:25.400 another little layer of expression as to what the intention 1:27:25.600 --> 1:27:27.479 of the of the messages, So. 1:27:27.520 --> 1:27:28.720 Hang on manipulation. 1:27:28.920 --> 1:27:31.040 The one I've just been, the one I've just been 1:27:31.120 --> 1:27:33.000 said from cast my wife is a sad face. 1:27:33.080 --> 1:27:34.000 That's not exactly good? 1:27:34.040 --> 1:27:34.240 Is it. 1:27:36.080 --> 1:27:39.360 Okay? But like in certain industries, right, like in industries, 1:27:39.439 --> 1:27:43.040 say heavy industry or aviation, thumbs up is a very 1:27:43.080 --> 1:27:46.160 important signal because that be could that means could, that 1:27:46.320 --> 1:27:51.240 means means definitely yes, or you know, definitely you're safe 1:27:51.320 --> 1:27:55.440 or definitely whatever, So that you know, like an emoji sometimes. 1:27:55.120 --> 1:27:59.080 And some people means old was thumbs up? Fine, good 1:27:59.080 --> 1:27:59.240 on you? 1:27:59.520 --> 1:28:03.760 What I just maybe maybe Musk sent Trump thumbs up 1:28:03.800 --> 1:28:04.560 a mojor. 1:28:04.520 --> 1:28:08.439 Trump thumbs down in return. 1:28:08.600 --> 1:28:10.720 One last quick topic for us because we're almost out, 1:28:10.720 --> 1:28:12.479 but I want you all your views on this one. 1:28:12.600 --> 1:28:14.800 Hey, you've got an NRL player listening to us. You 1:28:14.840 --> 1:28:17.080 just said, can you ask Clinton what the eggplant means? 1:28:17.400 --> 1:28:19.280 I said, no, it's too early for that. 1:28:19.720 --> 1:28:20.320 Thanks for you, mate. 1:28:21.479 --> 1:28:22.800 It means lasagna has been cooked. 1:28:23.040 --> 1:28:23.200 Well. 1:28:24.080 --> 1:28:26.439 The certain NRL player might have a view on this issue. 1:28:26.560 --> 1:28:29.400 Was published in the Australian Financial Review Today excellent journal 1:28:29.479 --> 1:28:31.880 that it is A report has found that twenty two 1:28:31.920 --> 1:28:36.120 percent of employees report often or rarely, rarely use the 1:28:36.160 --> 1:28:40.320 toilet their workplace because they're concerned about embarrassing. There is 1:28:40.400 --> 1:28:42.920 issues of cleanliness, but there's a concern that some people 1:28:43.000 --> 1:28:45.240 don't want to do certain things in the tour. 1:28:45.240 --> 1:28:47.400 Kind of a program. Are you running here? It's a 1:28:47.479 --> 1:28:50.120 poole driving home on a Friday night, ready for a 1:28:50.160 --> 1:28:52.280 big weekend. They've worked all week and you bring it 1:28:52.360 --> 1:28:53.960 up toilets at workplaces. 1:28:54.479 --> 1:28:58.360 This is the Australian Financial Review, which our company does own. 1:28:58.479 --> 1:29:02.000 It's probably the most respected in the short on content 1:29:02.080 --> 1:29:06.240 this week. Right, Okay, so do you have concerns that 1:29:07.640 --> 1:29:07.840 you go? 1:29:07.960 --> 1:29:08.479 First? John? 1:29:09.600 --> 1:29:12.559 I can, Well, it's not a problem for me.

The second thing, though, is that 1:29:23.800 --> 1:29:26.080 I think it's concerning. No, I think I think the 1:29:26.200 --> 1:29:29.040 concern might be that you may leave, You may leave 1:29:29.160 --> 1:29:33.080 some something in that. Yeah, you may poison the atmosphere 1:29:33.120 --> 1:29:36.479 in the bathroom. Easy.

The Fair Work Commission has 1:31:16.520 --> 1:31:19.640 ordered a ballot beheld to see if workers support the 1:31:19.800 --> 1:31:23.320 in principal deal reached between the combined rail unions and 1:31:23.520 --> 1:31:27.760 state government.

The software in the phone is gonna be 1:32:49.720 --> 1:32:51.840 so smart you actually won't have to stay on hold. 1:32:52.080 --> 1:32:53.560 The phone will let you know when they're ready to 1:32:53.600 --> 1:32:56.160 talk to you. Charlie Brown abe talking about all this 1:32:56.240 --> 1:33:00.519 stuff on Life and Technology tomorrow morning. Hello, Charlie. I'm 1:33:00.560 --> 1:33:02.200 pretty impressed with what apples come up with you. 1:33:02.840 --> 1:33:05.880 Yeah, it's Google, Apple. I've both been working on this 1:33:06.080 --> 1:33:08.680 idea of let's make the phones work for us. And 1:33:09.280 --> 1:33:10.479 when it's kind of like. 1:33:10.520 --> 1:33:14.880 The reverse call robot. Right, You've got robots that are. 1:33:14.920 --> 1:33:19.480 Used by big call centers and big companies banks, telco's, 1:33:20.240 --> 1:33:23.439 insurance companies, and they ring you and they don't have 1:33:23.560 --> 1:33:25.280 a human on the end until you've been on the 1:33:25.320 --> 1:33:26.720 phone for a few seconds. 1:33:26.400 --> 1:33:27.280 Going hello Hello. 1:33:27.760 --> 1:33:31.200 This is about reversing that and giving you more control 1:33:31.320 --> 1:33:34.320 one over who is ringing you and whether you're going 1:33:34.400 --> 1:33:37.920 to sit there on the phone answering it, or whether 1:33:38.000 --> 1:33:40.800 you're going to want the phone to answer for you, 1:33:41.160 --> 1:33:43.960 identify who they are, what they're calling about, then you 1:33:44.160 --> 1:33:47.479 choose to take the call from there. And also what 1:33:47.640 --> 1:33:51.880 you just described as well, actually having the phone, having 1:33:52.040 --> 1:33:55.280 the person on the other end of the phone on hold, 1:33:55.760 --> 1:33:57.920 giving more information and then you pick up the call. 1:33:58.280 --> 1:34:01.680 It's just remarkable. Was there something the conference that's surprised you. 1:34:03.040 --> 1:34:07.800 I think what's interesting is that iPad is finally going 1:34:07.880 --> 1:34:12.240 to have a user experience that is more closely aligned 1:34:12.320 --> 1:34:15.120 with the Windows based user experience the way we use 1:34:15.200 --> 1:34:18.160 Windows in a PC, and we have multiple windows for 1:34:18.240 --> 1:34:21.320 multiple things, and we position them around the screen. Apple 1:34:21.400 --> 1:34:24.160 iPad's going to have that from about September when they 1:34:24.280 --> 1:34:29.040 bring out that software update for selected iPads, mainly the 1:34:29.120 --> 1:34:31.479 newer ones. And I think people who use iPad who 1:34:31.479 --> 1:34:34.439 have been asking about this only since there actually has 1:34:34.520 --> 1:34:37.080 been an iPad, I think people are going to get 1:34:37.080 --> 1:34:37.759 a lot of value. 1:34:37.600 --> 1:34:37.880 Out of that. 1:34:38.040 --> 1:34:40.560 So I'm addicted to my iPad. But what I've and 1:34:40.760 --> 1:34:44.280 this may be part of what Apple's finding. My iPad 1:34:44.360 --> 1:34:47.120 might be as old as ten years old now and 1:34:47.200 --> 1:34:48.800 it's still I've got to reboot it a fair bit, 1:34:48.840 --> 1:34:50.880 but it still works pretty well. I suspect you won't 1:34:50.880 --> 1:34:52.519 be able to update the software on that because I 1:34:52.560 --> 1:34:54.240 can't even find I need a new cover for it. 1:34:54.280 --> 1:34:56.160 I can't even find a new cover online for it. 1:34:56.760 --> 1:35:01.439 Yeah, these kinds of sort of read ourrectional features that 1:35:01.520 --> 1:35:04.880 they bring out often there maybe the last three or 1:35:04.920 --> 1:35:08.000 four years the device is that old, are coming out 1:35:08.040 --> 1:35:10.439 with the iPhone features that we talked about, with the 1:35:10.520 --> 1:35:14.080 call screening feature that's going to be back to about 1:35:14.600 --> 1:35:17.120 iPhone eleven that that will go to. So you know 1:35:17.160 --> 1:35:19.240 you've got iPhone sixteen at the moment, so back to eleven. 1:35:19.280 --> 1:35:22.280 That's not too bad, that's pretty good. But some people 1:35:22.360 --> 1:35:24.320 do miss out with the older hardware and that's just 1:35:24.400 --> 1:35:26.880 part and parcel. People do complain about it every year 1:35:26.920 --> 1:35:29.479 that I'd rather have I want that feature too. It's 1:35:29.600 --> 1:35:32.760 because they're trying to match the software experience to that 1:35:33.000 --> 1:35:36.960 hardware capability of the device. And that's part and parcel 1:35:37.040 --> 1:35:39.280 with what we experience with technology. What's coming up on 1:35:39.320 --> 1:35:42.200 the program tomorrow more about worldwide develop a conference with 1:35:42.280 --> 1:35:44.519 our Mac expert Mike Boyd. We're gonna have a chat 1:35:44.560 --> 1:35:47.519 to him. Also, why all of a sudden people are 1:35:47.560 --> 1:35:53.559 buying regular cameras once again? Certain models or cameras sold 1:35:53.600 --> 1:35:54.680 out in stores. 1:35:54.400 --> 1:35:54.960 Will go through. 1:35:55.040 --> 1:35:57.120 What is going on tomorrow when we chat to Canon. 1:35:57.240 --> 1:35:58.960 Will be listening from eight to clock. Thank you, Charlie. 1:35:59.240 --> 1:36:02.120 Thanks cleant Aali Brown Tomorrow, Life and Technology from eight 1:36:02.160 --> 1:36:03.000 o'clock on two GB. 1:36:04.960 --> 1:36:05.920 Finance update. 1:36:06.960 --> 1:36:09.200 Not a great day on the stock market today. The 1:36:09.280 --> 1:36:12.240 All Ordinary is trading down point three per cent eight thousand, 1:36:12.320 --> 1:36:14.800 seven hundred and seventy points. The A six two hundred 1:36:14.840 --> 1:36:17.519 down point two one percent, eight five hundred and forty 1:36:17.600 --> 1:36:20.720 seven one Australian dollar buying sixty four US cents. There 1:36:20.800 --> 1:36:23.000 is going to be a lot of speculation and focus 1:36:23.640 --> 1:36:26.240 on oil prices over the next couple of days, given 1:36:26.280 --> 1:36:29.760 what's occurring in the Middle East. Now Brent crude is 1:36:29.920 --> 1:36:33.040 most relevant to our market. It's gone up today by 1:36:33.040 --> 1:36:36.519 as much as thirteen percent to seventy eight dollars US 1:36:36.800 --> 1:36:39.920 a barrel at one point. It's moderated a little since then, 1:36:40.280 --> 1:36:43.400 it's about seventy four dollars as it stands. But what's 1:36:43.439 --> 1:36:45.200 this going to mean for us when we go to 1:36:45.240 --> 1:36:48.000 fill up our cars. That's the crucial issue. Money News 1:36:48.080 --> 1:36:50.920 producer Tom Story has spoken with the Conwealth Banks for 1:36:51.040 --> 1:36:52.400 Rick Darr about this today. 1:36:52.760 --> 1:36:55.920 If we're talking seventy dollars a barrow, where you know 1:36:56.160 --> 1:36:58.439 we would sive us about a dollar eighty five and 1:36:58.760 --> 1:37:01.000 eighty dollars a barrow would get two about two dollars 1:37:01.040 --> 1:37:04.479 a leader. So for Australian I'd think that the seeming 1:37:04.520 --> 1:37:06.840 to be attention to this is going to be significant 1:37:06.840 --> 1:37:10.639 from that side. But yeah, it's a very fluid situation. 1:37:11.280 --> 1:37:12.840 You can hear the full interview on the effect of 1:37:13.080 --> 1:37:15.960 the attacks on oil prices by downloading the Money News 1:37:16.120 --> 1:37:20.200 podcast every Friday. It's presented by Tom every Friday, available 1:37:20.240 --> 1:37:22.040 with your podcasting app of choice. 1:37:22.600 --> 1:37:26.000 On Sydney Now. A weather update will be here to 1:37:26.120 --> 1:37:30.400 help in unexpected weather. NRIM Insurance a help company. 1:37:30.439 --> 1:37:32.519 It is fairly dry across Sydney. There is the chance 1:37:32.560 --> 1:37:34.720 of a couple of showers later this evening. Right now 1:37:34.720 --> 1:37:37.120 in the city twelve degrees fourteen in the west Tomorrow 1:37:37.320 --> 1:37:39.559 a shower or two so if the kids have sport 1:37:39.600 --> 1:37:41.880 in the morning, could be washed out, or that the 1:37:41.880 --> 1:37:43.840 ground should be okay, so I reckon they'll play top 1:37:43.880 --> 1:37:46.360 A seventeen degrees, partly cloudy day with some showers around 1:37:46.360 --> 1:37:48.800 the middle of the day. On Sunday, a partly cloudy day, 1:37:48.880 --> 1:37:50.760 some fog in the morning. It should be dry, maybe 1:37:50.800 --> 1:37:53.040 the slight chance of a shower, but a mostly dry day. 1:37:53.080 --> 1:37:55.800 Eighteen degrees Monday, of course, because we're going back to 1:37:55.840 --> 1:37:58.799 work Sunday in eighteen sunny on Tuesday, sunny on Wednesday 1:37:59.200 --> 1:38:00.759 and sunny on Thursday. 1:38:01.120 --> 1:38:04.240 If it's happening in Sydney, you'll hear it on Sydney 1:38:04.320 --> 1:38:06.200 Now with Clinton Man on. 1:38:06.439 --> 1:38:09.680 To gb talking Sport Time with Mark guy. Hello, MG. 1:38:10.880 --> 1:38:11.880 Clinton, How are you, my friend? 1:38:12.040 --> 1:38:14.040 I'm good because finally my team had a win. 1:38:14.800 --> 1:38:17.080 They had a great win. At half time it was 1:38:17.080 --> 1:38:20.200 a little bit suss because they were behind. And second 1:38:20.240 --> 1:38:25.000 half in particular, Adam Kanua, Blake and young Brayley were exceptional. 1:38:25.560 --> 1:38:28.679 Brailey must be knocking on the door for that blue jersey. 1:38:29.120 --> 1:38:31.080 He's playing sensationally. I love the way he plays. Is 1:38:31.080 --> 1:38:31.479 a good kid. 1:38:31.600 --> 1:38:33.880 Oh that's one of the best games I've seen Brayley play. 1:38:33.920 --> 1:38:36.000 Look to be honest, MG, I thought the Sharks are 1:38:36.000 --> 1:38:37.680 pretty shoddy in the first half. I didn't think they 1:38:37.680 --> 1:38:39.920 had enough energy, particularly in sort of the back end, 1:38:40.320 --> 1:38:42.320 and the Dragons were all over. The Dragons were having 1:38:42.360 --> 1:38:44.519 a good for really good first half. But it all 1:38:44.560 --> 1:38:46.360 fell apart for the Dragons in the second half and 1:38:46.560 --> 1:38:48.920 the Sharks. We ride over the top. Now, Mitch Moses, 1:38:49.000 --> 1:38:51.439 there's some we brought your news yesterday. He was out 1:38:51.479 --> 1:38:53.080 of origin too, But there's some big news about him 1:38:53.080 --> 1:38:53.599 this afternoon. 1:38:54.760 --> 1:38:58.559 Skins on the Stars half backs calf injury has revealed 1:38:58.600 --> 1:39:00.719 a bit of blow that both he and the Blues. 1:39:00.720 --> 1:39:03.479 He'll be out for six weeks on the sideline, ruining 1:39:03.560 --> 1:39:06.680 him out of the Origin series basically this one and 1:39:06.720 --> 1:39:09.080 the next one. So bad news for New South Wales, 1:39:09.200 --> 1:39:12.639 bad news especially for Paramatter will be without their marquee 1:39:12.680 --> 1:39:14.080 man for at least six weeks. Clinton. 1:39:14.439 --> 1:39:16.720 There's one very very happy man about it though, And 1:39:17.000 --> 1:39:19.800 we feel for Mitch of the moment Dre Luis John 1:39:19.840 --> 1:39:23.639 Stanley because Paramatter applying St. Georgia law in a couple 1:39:23.640 --> 1:39:23.960 of weeks. 1:39:24.680 --> 1:39:27.560 How's he? How's he this one? After his team's capitulation 1:39:27.800 --> 1:39:28.200 last night. 1:39:28.280 --> 1:39:28.920 He's not happy. 1:39:29.439 --> 1:39:31.920 He's not happy, just quickly to have the news. Bad 1:39:31.960 --> 1:39:34.640 neues for the Knights. Young gun Fletcher Sharp has been 1:39:34.680 --> 1:39:37.080 really out of tomorrow's game against the Roosters with a 1:39:37.200 --> 1:39:40.720 calf strain as well son another injury this time You're 1:39:40.720 --> 1:39:42.880 not a calf injurym to be really coped. That common 1:39:42.920 --> 1:39:43.280 these days. 1:39:43.280 --> 1:39:45.680 And I see Fletcher Hunt, the winger has signed a 1:39:45.720 --> 1:39:48.040 new deal with the Knights today. Now Fletcher Sharp, Fletcher Hunt, 1:39:48.120 --> 1:39:49.240 they go to the same barber. 1:39:49.880 --> 1:39:50.759 They are twins. 1:39:51.600 --> 1:39:53.559 Twins that's going on with their haircut? 1:39:54.240 --> 1:39:57.000 Oh they look so they're the wild wild West brother. 1:39:57.160 --> 1:39:59.679 They look like the mullet's just flowing in the wind. 1:40:00.040 --> 1:40:00.639 Can they can play? 1:40:00.680 --> 1:40:00.800 There? 1:40:00.840 --> 1:40:02.920 Would have been this news out of Manly today. Tommy 1:40:03.000 --> 1:40:06.320 Trevoyevich was actually offered the chance to be the eighteenth 1:40:06.400 --> 1:40:08.439 man for New south Wales before Game one of Origin. 1:40:09.240 --> 1:40:09.439 Mmm. 1:40:10.439 --> 1:40:12.200 Now this is a prickly one because a lot of 1:40:12.240 --> 1:40:14.000 people would say, oh, wouldn't you jump in the chance 1:40:14.080 --> 1:40:16.680 to the eighteenth man for New south Wales. But I 1:40:16.720 --> 1:40:20.160 think in Tom's situation it's kind of different because the 1:40:20.280 --> 1:40:23.760 one thing he needs is casing his legs at this 1:40:23.880 --> 1:40:26.280 stage of his career. The more he runs, I think 1:40:26.280 --> 1:40:29.200 the more he thinks it's going to be more beneficial 1:40:29.360 --> 1:40:32.320 for his hamstrings and his lower back. So I think 1:40:32.560 --> 1:40:35.400 sitting on the pine and not having a game pill 1:40:35.439 --> 1:40:37.160 he would have been detrimental or someone like Tom I 1:40:37.200 --> 1:40:39.360 don't think. I don't think Tom's an eighteenth man. I 1:40:39.400 --> 1:40:41.200 think you've got to have someone like a Burden or 1:40:41.360 --> 1:40:44.400 another young blake who give him a smack. A Galvin 1:40:44.520 --> 1:40:51.120 think Lucky Galvin could be well mate, I'll tell right now. 1:40:51.240 --> 1:40:55.040 If Matt Burton, somehow I didn't want to know, got 1:40:55.080 --> 1:40:58.840 injured or something over the weekend, I would throw Origin 1:40:59.400 --> 1:40:59.920 eighteenth man. 1:41:00.000 --> 1:41:03.200 I've heard it all now. I think if Lockyer Galvin's 1:41:03.200 --> 1:41:05.240 a pointed the next Australian test coach. I can understand 1:41:05.280 --> 1:41:08.760 that if Locky Galvin is going to advise Cameron Serraldo 1:41:09.400 --> 1:41:11.920 from the box. I can understand that if Locky Galvin 1:41:12.000 --> 1:41:14.640 maybe takes over from Andrew Abda and Peter Landy's at 1:41:14.680 --> 1:41:17.200 some point. I can understand that. But origin please have 1:41:17.360 --> 1:41:17.600 I just. 1:41:17.640 --> 1:41:20.400 Got the Lochlan Galvin bug that everyone's got the moment, 1:41:20.640 --> 1:41:22.960 I just might give myself another cup of saying that. 1:41:23.439 --> 1:41:26.400 Now, let's just quickly look at the tips. We all 1:41:26.479 --> 1:41:28.559 tipped the Sharks last night, and I should point out, 1:41:29.680 --> 1:41:31.519 you know, I cop it for tipping against the Sharks 1:41:31.520 --> 1:41:33.040 a lot, and I tipped the Sharks last night. I'm 1:41:33.080 --> 1:41:34.960 just looking at the tips from last night. John Stanley 1:41:35.000 --> 1:41:36.880 tipped the Sharks over the Dragon. 1:41:37.120 --> 1:41:40.200 The Sharks he did, and he's a lot higher up 1:41:40.200 --> 1:41:40.920 the ladder than we are. 1:41:41.160 --> 1:41:41.680 Yeah, we're at the. 1:41:41.640 --> 1:41:45.200 Bottom, exactly same with me. We're fifty seven, you're fifty one. 1:41:45.760 --> 1:41:48.840 Okay, So tonight and the continuous call in will be 1:41:48.920 --> 1:41:51.600 covering this game from o o' clock. Covering starts at 1:41:51.640 --> 1:41:53.480 seven Gold Coast up against many. 1:41:54.720 --> 1:41:55.040 Manly. 1:41:55.640 --> 1:41:57.240 Yeah, I'm going to go. I'm gonna have Seagals with 1:41:57.280 --> 1:41:59.880 that one as well. Then tomorrow afternoon five thirty new 1:42:00.080 --> 1:42:01.320 Castle up against the Roosters. 1:42:02.200 --> 1:42:04.880 I think the Roosters, especially now that Fletcher Shark is out. 1:42:05.280 --> 1:42:07.760 Yep, I've got the Roosters as well. The second game 1:42:07.800 --> 1:42:09.680 you'll hear it on the Continuous Call team. The North 1:42:09.760 --> 1:42:11.679 Queens Down Cowboys up against the Dolphins. 1:42:12.720 --> 1:42:16.040 Look, I've taken the Cowboys, but not with any great confidence. 1:42:16.720 --> 1:42:19.200 I like the way that the Dolphins played last week 1:42:19.200 --> 1:42:22.880 and they only they've only got Hamasi out, so the 1:42:22.960 --> 1:42:25.960 Cowboys and other hand got the four out. So tossing 1:42:26.000 --> 1:42:27.160 a coin, but I'll go Cowboys. 1:42:27.360 --> 1:42:30.759 Yeah, I'm going to go the Dolphins. But it's in Townsville, 1:42:30.840 --> 1:42:33.160 so you'd think the Cowboys. But just with those origin 1:42:33.200 --> 1:42:35.120 players out, I'll get the Dolphins. And the last game 1:42:35.160 --> 1:42:37.559 of the round Sunday afternoon. It's on the Continuous Call team. 1:42:37.600 --> 1:42:39.439 You'll be part of the coverage on Sunday afternoon as well. 1:42:39.800 --> 1:42:41.680 South's up against the Bulldogs. 1:42:42.600 --> 1:42:44.519 Doggies, mate, I think the Bulldogs will be too strong 1:42:44.560 --> 1:42:44.720 for that. 1:42:45.120 --> 1:42:47.840 Yeah, I think Galvin's been named to start the game. 1:42:47.840 --> 1:42:51.639 He's playing half back. I'm tipping first try scorer, last 1:42:51.720 --> 1:42:56.200 try scorer Lockey Galvin middle tri scorer as well. He 1:42:56.280 --> 1:42:58.479 may just get the Dali M based on his one performance, 1:42:59.280 --> 1:42:59.840 just on another. 1:43:00.240 --> 1:43:03.640 That's a pretty special note. I've taken the challenge to 1:43:03.760 --> 1:43:08.839 get a pie thrown at my face? What for PTSD awareness? 1:43:08.880 --> 1:43:13.000 It's some emergency. Basically, if you'd like to throw a 1:43:13.120 --> 1:43:16.559 pie at my face, well it's on until June twenty seven. 1:43:17.080 --> 1:43:19.960 It's all. It's all for emergency service workers who are 1:43:20.360 --> 1:43:23.799 who are three times more likely to experienced psychological distress 1:43:23.840 --> 1:43:27.439 than the general population. And if you make a donation 1:43:27.520 --> 1:43:29.760 about fifty dollars, you go on the draw to be 1:43:29.840 --> 1:43:32.880 one of three lucky people to throw a cream pie 1:43:32.920 --> 1:43:33.559 at my face. 1:43:34.120 --> 1:43:38.160 Well, this is fantastic. Firstly, the cause emergency and this, 1:43:38.560 --> 1:43:41.360 as the name suggests, this is to help emergency services 1:43:41.439 --> 1:43:44.240 workers who suffer PTSD and obviously more than in any 1:43:44.280 --> 1:43:47.040 other section of the population. This is to raise money 1:43:47.080 --> 1:43:49.720 for them. But for everybody who donates fifty dollars to 1:43:49.840 --> 1:43:52.000 this campaign, you go into the draw to throw a 1:43:52.120 --> 1:43:57.040 pie at our man's fast face.

It's 1:44:59.280 --> 1:45:00.840 ten to six to who is coming up in just 1:45:00.920 --> 1:45:01.280 a moment. 1:45:01.360 --> 1:45:02.120 This is awful. 1:45:02.240 --> 1:45:05.559 An Air India flight from Pouquet in Thailand to New 1:45:05.640 --> 1:45:09.960 Delhi in India has received an onboe bomb threat.

In regards 1:45:37.120 --> 1:45:40.479 to the tragedy in India, that the details and the 1:45:40.560 --> 1:45:44.680 investigation is still continuing.
