Speaker 1: Now this is three aw Drive with Jackie Fowlgate.
Speaker 2: Good afternoon on a real wintersday. It's been hailing across
Speaker 2: some of our suburbs and it be snowing in Mount Macedon.
Speaker 2: So what's the weather like where you are? And I
Speaker 2: really hope today the farmers are getting the rain they
Speaker 2: need to coming up on the show. It is almost laughable,
Speaker 2: I think now when you open the paper and you
Speaker 2: read that the Westgate Tunnel is set to almost double
Speaker 2: its initial six point three billion dollar budget. Now the
Speaker 2: project is already four billion over budget and it's running
Speaker 2: three years late. So by the time it's all said
Speaker 2: and done, best case scenario, it is close to twelve
Speaker 2: billion dollars. Like I said, it's some kind of sick joke,
Speaker 2: isn't it when you read these numbers out we have
Speaker 2: cost blowouts of four billion and we say it like
Speaker 2: it's four dollars. It's four billion dollars And the government
Speaker 2: says taxpayers, don't worry, you won't be responsible for that. Well,
Speaker 2: don't hold your birth because Transurban has written to the
Speaker 2: Transport and Infrastructure Minister Gabrielle Williams to warn her of
Speaker 2: likely legal action. You the taxpayers will be paying for
Speaker 2: that legal action and Transurban will already be making tens
Speaker 2: of billions of dollars extra anyway from the new road
Speaker 2: and the extension of the City Link tolling contract. So
Speaker 2: if they have to carry the can for more costs,
Speaker 2: Transurban will just put up the cost of the toll
Speaker 2: road itself. One double three six ninety three. This is
Speaker 2: what it is like in Victoria right now. You cannot
Speaker 2: when it comes to the cost of things. We cannot
Speaker 2: trust any budgeting whatsoever. And I think that's a sad
Speaker 2: state of affairs because if it were the private sector,
Speaker 2: these ministers would have been sacked long ago. And make
Speaker 2: no mistake, I think the Westgate Tunnel is a great project,
Speaker 2: especially for the long suffering people who live in the West.
Speaker 2: But the problem is paying CFMMU contractors is exorbitant rates.
Speaker 2: We know it is around thirty percent extra on any
Speaker 2: government big build, thirty percent you put on the top
Speaker 2: of any normal costings. And here's where it comes home
Speaker 2: to roost. Years of corruption and dodgy jobs for mates
Speaker 2: within the CFMU. There was a toxic soil issue with
Speaker 2: the Westgate project. Fine, but to double the cost you
Speaker 2: building contingencies to any contract that you do in business,
Speaker 2: and for this to now cost twelve billion dollars overtime
Speaker 2: and over budget like everything else in this state. And
Speaker 2: I feel for those who do live in the West
Speaker 2: who are still enduring the wild traffic conditions out there
Speaker 2: every single day because of the construction and just the
Speaker 2: general congestion and the doubling of the bill out for
Speaker 2: the Westgate Tunnel one double three, six ninety three, the
Speaker 2: SRL right, no federal funding, funding, no money, no money
Speaker 2: at all, and no plan as to how to get
Speaker 2: the money. None of it stacks up according to Infrastructure Now,
Speaker 2: that project, as we well know, thirty four point five
Speaker 2: billion dollars. And I am fairly sure not one person
Speaker 2: listening to this program right now thinks that thirty four
Speaker 2: point five billion will be the final bill for that
Speaker 2: white elephant one double three, six ninety three. And I
Speaker 2: was thinking about it. You know, I can sit here
Speaker 2: and pontificate about this every single day, but when it
Speaker 2: comes to our major projects, what do we do about them?
Speaker 2: I personally would be happy to get people from the
Speaker 2: private sector and pay them experienced men and women. They
Speaker 2: need to form an independent panel like infrastructure Australia, but
Speaker 2: for us here in Victoria that is broadcast for the
Speaker 2: public to see, like you can go along or you
Speaker 2: can watch it online. How is our money spent? Because
Speaker 2: it is time to lift the covers off these conversations.
Speaker 2: I think a year out from the election, the government
Speaker 2: is still continuing to sign dodgy contracts that we will
Speaker 2: not be able to get out of. I don't think
Speaker 2: they can be trusted with our money anymore. And the
Speaker 2: Westgate Tunnel and that cost blow out there a twelve
Speaker 2: billion dollar example of how you just can't trust them
Speaker 2: with our money. One double three six nine three. What's
Speaker 2: if you're on that and what do you think about
Speaker 2: some kind of independent panel. Maybe we look at the
Speaker 2: people who have done really well in business, like whether
Speaker 2: it's former CEOs of banks or whether it's people that
Speaker 2: ran big companies in this state, and you go, you
Speaker 2: have been a success in the private sector when it
Speaker 2: comes to big build like if it's over say two
Speaker 2: billion dollars, I want an independent panel to look at
Speaker 2: how this money is allocated and ordered it because right
Speaker 2: now I think we're all like mushrooms, We're all just
Speaker 2: living in the dark. One double three six y nine
Speaker 2: three and this is a little one that's out of
Speaker 2: the box. So last night the City of Windham voted
Speaker 2: to use council money, so rate payers money, to fund
Speaker 2: a private security force for the suburb of Trugga Niner.
Speaker 2: So three hundred and seventy thousand dollars of rate payers
Speaker 2: money for a job that is the responsibility of the
Speaker 2: state government and police. So this is a trial. Last
Speaker 2: night there was this really fun council meeting. Apparently it's
Speaker 2: meant to go for two hours and it went for
Speaker 2: four and the majority of residents in all of the
Speaker 2: polling that the City of Wyndom did they don't support
Speaker 2: a private security force for trugger Nina. If you want
Speaker 2: to hire private security and you pay for it, and
Speaker 2: I know many people who've done this because of the
Speaker 2: youth crime wave, great go ahead, But I don't think
Speaker 2: it should be the job of counsel to provide it
Speaker 2: for one suburb alone, when all rate payers have to
Speaker 2: pay for it. And what if there is an incident?
Speaker 2: Are these private security people armed? How are they trained?
Speaker 2: How will it work? This is essentially a de facto
Speaker 2: police force for the suburb of Trugga Nina and the
Speaker 2: people of Wyndham are paying for it. If you live there,
Speaker 2: are you happy to have your rates spend on a
Speaker 2: trial for residents of just one suburb? And if you
Speaker 2: have hired private security to deal with the youth crime wave?
Speaker 2: How much did it cost you and was it worth it?
Speaker 2: One double three six nine three. And we did spend
Speaker 2: a lot of time yesterday talking about our hospital system
Speaker 2: and I think it was really warranted listening to some
Speaker 2: of the calls and the and listening to some of
Speaker 2: you and what you said about your experiences in emergency
Speaker 2: departments over the last weeks and months, because I thought
Speaker 2: today we would actually speak to the virtual Emergency department.
Speaker 2: So this is something I've used this before. I used
Speaker 2: it last week actually, and it's really good. It's done
Speaker 2: for the people of the North. But you can ring
Speaker 2: from anywhere in Victoria and you still get the service
Speaker 2: and you don't have to pay for it. It's free.
Speaker 2: It's like an online virtual ED it's called and it's
Speaker 2: like an online triage system where if you're unwell on
Speaker 2: the weekends or out of hours or you can't get
Speaker 2: to a GP, you call up and you speak to
Speaker 2: a nurse and then you speak to a doctor. It's
Speaker 2: actually very good. So I thought we might have a
Speaker 2: chat to there man and sort of see what the
Speaker 2: experience is like. And if you have used virtual ed,
Speaker 2: what did you think one double three six nine three?
Speaker 2: Did it stop you from going to an emergency department?
Speaker 2: It's free, so if you can't afford to go to
Speaker 2: the GP, it's also a really good option. And also
Speaker 2: coming up later in the show, why did you choose
Speaker 2: the career that you did, Because there's a new study
Speaker 2: out today that kids binge what shows like Law and
Speaker 2: Order and Gray's Anatomy, and they then they want to
Speaker 2: be doctors and lawyers, except they don't think that they
Speaker 2: need a degree to do so they just watched the
Speaker 2: show and they're like, Yeah, that looks fun. I want
Speaker 2: to do that. So what did you do when you
Speaker 2: were at UNI, Like did your career meet your expectations?
Speaker 2: What did you always want to be and why did
Speaker 2: you choose the career that you're in. I always wanted
Speaker 2: to be a journalist from the very first moment I
Speaker 2: could talk. That was all I wanted to do. I
Speaker 2: went around and I did work experience when I was
Speaker 2: about fifteen at all the country newspapers and I just
Speaker 2: loved it and that was always what I wanted to do.
Speaker 2: But why did you choose your career and did it
Speaker 2: were you inspired by a TV show like Lauren Order,
Speaker 2: Oh Grace and had to be won double three six
Speaker 2: nine three. But let's get right into it now at
Speaker 2: fourteen minutes past three and you can drop us an
Speaker 2: email drive at threew dot com dot au Dom. Good afternoon, Hello,
Speaker 2: go ahead, Hello, yeah gay Jackie.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a couple of points. But the blow EU they
Speaker 3: say won't be paid by tax players, well it'll be
Speaker 3: it's transerve and so the totals on it will definitely
Speaker 3: make up any extra money. They've got a fund, so
Speaker 3: the tolls will be huge. I love you to ask
Speaker 3: when will the tolls be the final price for you? Finalized?
Speaker 4: And also suburban rail wing Dan Andrews came out twentieth
Speaker 4: and November twenty twenty one at thirty four billion, and
Speaker 4: the yelling government reckon with all the massive cost blowout
Speaker 4: in every form of construction, it's still going to be
Speaker 4: thirty four billion, which is absolutely fair.
Speaker 2: And even the fact that the infrastructure Australia Dom has
Speaker 2: repeatedly said that their cost capture analysis it doesn't stack up.
Speaker 3: And just on your saying about you need a proper
Speaker 3: group have a look at all these infrastructure, sorry, these
Speaker 3: renewable energy projects snowy hydro two billion experts at the
Speaker 3: time said of his guard he's just going to cost
Speaker 3: twelve Every renewable energy project has blown out. There was
Speaker 3: an arnivel that said five billion dollars with the original
Speaker 3: for a whole lot, and they're up to about twenty.
Speaker 3: And also that the they reckon on a lot of
Speaker 3: these renewable energy projects. They put in these low bits
Speaker 3: and when they go up they make more money. So
Speaker 3: I think what you're saying is pretty good. You need
Speaker 3: proper train people correct to have a look at all
Speaker 3: these contracts.
Speaker 2: Yes, I want to find the most successful people. Who
Speaker 2: is the most successful person in business in Victoria? Do
Speaker 2: you think one double three, six nine three? Thanks Tom,
Speaker 2: Because do we need to pay them like an awful
Speaker 2: lot of money and go. I want someone who actually
Speaker 2: knows what they're doing with money to sort this mess out.
Speaker 2: And just a quick one on the weather if you
Speaker 2: are out and about at the moment, Lauren the street
Speaker 2: in the dock lines have just been sent a video
Speaker 2: really bad flooding with lots of people driving through there
Speaker 2: and some of the smaller cars probably wouldn't be risking that.
Speaker 2: Just outside all those high rise towers on the side
Speaker 2: of the freeway there whereabout to you around Victoria And
Speaker 2: what is the weather like now? Johnny with a drive
Speaker 2: time tip.
Speaker 5: Hello, Hi Jackie, love your shirt.
Speaker 6: Just wanted to let the callers and the listeners the
Speaker 6: corner of Bong Street and Mary Street. President, there's been
Speaker 6: a freak recedence. It's a sort of stuck at the moment,
Speaker 6: but it's slowly trying to get itself organized.
Speaker 2: Johnny. Thank you, So Bell Street and Mary Street. Impreston
Speaker 2: what's the weather like there, Johnny.
Speaker 7: Oh, it's absolutely rainy.
Speaker 6: It's shocking.
Speaker 2: It's coming down from Yeah, I can hear you. Winskreen Wifes,
Speaker 2: Thank you, Johnny. Drive Time Tippi is thanks to Sheine
Speaker 2: Panel Service had an accident. Call Sheen for a replacement vehicle.
Speaker 2: T's and c's apply. So how do you want the
Speaker 2: government to spend our money? Do you think we need
Speaker 2: to get someone who's not a politician to manage it,
Speaker 2: like an independent panel or people and you can go
Speaker 2: along like a court hearing, or you can watch it
Speaker 2: online and they can justify it to the general public
Speaker 2: how they are spending a generational level of money so
Speaker 2: that our kids and our grandkids and our grandkids' grandkids
Speaker 2: are saddled with this level of debt. Nicole in Cranbourne.
Speaker 8: Hello, yes, yes, the Hi Jackie, Yay.
Speaker 2: I'm good. What's the weather like?
Speaker 9: Yes, well I just ask me by Nash. Just sat
Speaker 9: skipping highway and the sun was shining as bright as anything,
Speaker 9: and there was a double rainbow in front of me,
Speaker 9: and then a couple of meters down the road it
Speaker 9: started boring.
Speaker 2: How beautiful a double rainbow.
Speaker 9: Yes, I've never said I'm seventy two years old, I've
Speaker 9: never seen a double rainbow in my life.
Speaker 2: I have, I don't think I have. But you know what,
Speaker 2: I can give you something to celebrate a double rainbow with, Nicole.
Speaker 2: Have two bottles of the new and Delicious to Bordery
Speaker 2: Buttery Chardonnay. I'll put you back to live and off
Speaker 2: there from Margaret. She says, it's snowing in King Lake.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a good ski season. What do you
Speaker 2: think one double three six nine three. Are you off
Speaker 2: to the snow? I think in Mount Dono Buang it's
Speaker 2: also snowing as well. And obviously the ski fields all
Speaker 2: of them have had a big dump. But I did
Speaker 2: get center video on Collins Street and I thought it
Speaker 2: was snow, but Carl tells me it's hail. But it's
Speaker 2: kind of like a little flurry of what is sleet?
Speaker 2: Could you get Could you get sleet in the city?
Speaker 2: I don't know. Andrew, Hello, yeah, going good.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 5: In regard to the cost analysis, the government actually employs
Speaker 5: or takes into account or sorry, they utilize external companies
Speaker 5: for that reason.
Speaker 11: They do.
Speaker 5: They there's there's many millions of dollars that they pay
Speaker 5: other companies to do this cost analysis.
Speaker 2: And I was thinking about that, like consultants, Andrew.
Speaker 5: Yeah, one hundred percent when they have to because not
Speaker 5: being rude, the people that we are left, they've got
Speaker 5: no idea.
Speaker 2: Yes better, I'm serious, No, I agree, I agree, and and.
Speaker 5: And they should be accountable and they should be put
Speaker 5: up on the on the open front and marketplace and go, well,
Speaker 5: this is what we're being told by these people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Andrew, that was my point about the panel
Speaker 2: that is open to the public, and is it something
Speaker 2: where you know, every quarter the members of the public
Speaker 2: can go along or they can log into a zoom
Speaker 2: link and you can actually hear these people get questioned
Speaker 2: by by the taxpayer, the person whose money you're spending.
Speaker 2: Because I find with these major projects and the government
Speaker 2: really annoyed me at the time, Like during the election
Speaker 2: when the suburban railupe, I was told by multiple senior
Speaker 2: sources on that project who said from the federal level
Speaker 2: they were told to hold off on any announcements involving
Speaker 2: funding until the end of the election. The premier came
Speaker 2: out and outright said in a media conference that I
Speaker 2: was wrong, and then on the Monday they announced it
Speaker 2: the monday after the election. I haven't forgotten that. And
Speaker 2: this is the whole thing, right, Everything is done cloak
Speaker 2: and dagger behind our eyes, and we're the ones paying
Speaker 2: for it. And I think when you're coming a year
Speaker 2: into a year out or just over a year out
Speaker 2: from an election, we need to have more transparency when
Speaker 2: it comes to the way our money is spent and
Speaker 2: in particular cost blowouts. So who should we get to
Speaker 2: sort out our finances? One double three six x ninety
Speaker 2: three is there any businessman or woman that you really
Speaker 2: respect in this state? I can think of all those
Speaker 2: people that have started companies from the ground up and
Speaker 2: made a success of it in Victoria. We need some
Speaker 2: of them. Your emails as well, Drive at threew dot
Speaker 2: com dot au and why did you choose the career
Speaker 2: you did? And tell me is it snowing?
Speaker 12: Is it?
Speaker 2: Is it freezing where you are? It is twenty four
Speaker 2: minutes past three. Thanks for your company on drive. I
Speaker 2: mentioned at the start of the show the Virtual ed
Speaker 2: service and if you've used it one double three six
Speaker 2: nine three, because it was another really tough night for
Speaker 2: paramedics and hospital staff throughout the state. And every year
Speaker 2: we come back to this same issue when it's cold
Speaker 2: and you get seasonal flues and things. But it's more
Speaker 2: than that. The hospital system is not get up to
Speaker 2: cope with this level of demand anymore. I guess because
Speaker 2: we have more people wanting to use it, and yet
Speaker 2: we're throwing money away on stuff like the SROL. Well,
Speaker 2: we're not even throwing it away, we're borrowing it at
Speaker 2: an interest level that we simply can't afford. And I
Speaker 2: asked everyone if you'd use the virtual ED and what
Speaker 2: you thought of it.
Speaker 13: M Hello, Hi Jackie. Good to speak with you. Obvious
Speaker 13: virtual ED a few times to my sons that have disability,
Speaker 13: and I've found that the given exceptional advice has been
Speaker 13: really useful to me and actually both on there to
Speaker 13: call an ambulance, but are we able to go through
Speaker 13: the symptoms together? And we've got the call the ambulance
Speaker 13: for my sons and got them seen to pretty quickly.
Speaker 13: So I think it's a fantastic service just to sort
Speaker 13: of confirm things with you of the phone, what's inside
Speaker 13: the symptoms, that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2: And I think a lot of people worry and as
Speaker 2: to whether they should call an ambulance or not, right,
Speaker 2: and so you knew having the medical care there that
Speaker 2: you should.
Speaker 13: Well I always worry about sort of taking clean AMers
Speaker 13: as well, but I kind of knew DIP that they
Speaker 13: needed ambulance, but just wanted to confirm things with them.
Speaker 13: They agreed and they actually call the ambulances, perhaps got
Speaker 13: the ambulance to us quicker than it would have been otherwise.
Speaker 2: Thank you. So we're going to chat to the virtual
Speaker 2: ED people later in the program and sort of say well,
Speaker 2: it's open to everybody. How do you go about it,
Speaker 2: how do you access it, what do you need? And
Speaker 2: is it a successful service if you've used it? Let
Speaker 2: me know one double three six ninety three. And on
Speaker 2: the Suburban rail loop Shane, Hello, yeah.
Speaker 14: Good Jakie, just two quick things for may suburban road Will.
Speaker 14: I don't know if you're aware that the Cheltenham Railway
Speaker 14: station and the Suburban rail Loop station is like a
Speaker 14: klomba and a half two klumb is apart. And how
Speaker 14: are you supposed to go from one to the other
Speaker 14: if you're disabled? It just doesn't work.
Speaker 2: Shane, I don't I'm not across the distances. What I
Speaker 2: do think, though, is that at the moment we just
Speaker 2: simply can't afford it. And the Westcape Tunnel project is
Speaker 2: a really good example of this too. So the government
Speaker 2: is insisting today that taxpayers will not put the bill
Speaker 2: for the extra money that the consortium is now saying
Speaker 2: it's going to cost to build it. So it's already
Speaker 2: three years late and already four billion dollars over budget,
Speaker 2: and it's going to come in by the time all
Speaker 2: of this is said and done at over twelve billion dollars.
Speaker 2: It is a good project. But again the government's saying, oh,
Speaker 2: taxpayers won't have to pay for that, whether it's now
Speaker 2: or later, they sure will. Doctor Eric Keyes is a
Speaker 2: PhD researcher at the Center for Urban Research at r MIT.
Speaker 2: Doctor Eric Good, afternoon, Jackie. Okay, so let's begin. Now,
Speaker 2: what did you make of the latest report? So I
Speaker 2: suppose none of this came as a shock.
Speaker 15: Oh, look, it's a major project. Major projects typically run
Speaker 15: over budget, so I wasn't expecting the news today. But
Speaker 15: it doesn't really comes as a major surprise.
Speaker 2: The estimated final price is now almost double the original
Speaker 2: six point three billion. How does that happen?
Speaker 15: Well, it's probably even worse than that, Jackie. The government
Speaker 15: was elected back in twenty fourteen promising to build the
Speaker 15: Western Distributor Project, which was a project that was going
Speaker 15: to cost less than a billion billion dollars. And while
Speaker 15: they had that as their platform in the twenty fourteen election,
Speaker 15: Tim Pallace was negotiating with Transit over this much more
Speaker 15: expensive project. So immediately after they were elected in December
Speaker 15: twenty fourteen, in twenty fifteen, we heard they had abandoned
Speaker 15: the project, had taken to the elections, and was going
Speaker 15: forward with the project at that time that was worth
Speaker 15: five billion dollars that have been put forward by Transurban. Now,
Speaker 15: the whole process from the point that Transurb and put
Speaker 15: this much bigger project on the table has been criticized
Speaker 15: by planners, academics, the Order to General and ever since
Speaker 15: twenty fifteen and the five billion dollars, we've seen the
Speaker 15: cost of the project go up and up and up.
Speaker 15: And I might take issue with your point that it's
Speaker 15: a needed and good project.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 16: Please, it's a.
Speaker 15: Bit naive to think this is going to solve our
Speaker 15: traffic congestion project. I don't think anybody can point to
Speaker 15: any freeway in Melbourne that has solved traffic congestion.
Speaker 2: It to have a second river crossing, I think is
Speaker 2: a good thing.
Speaker 15: Except this, If the Westgate Tunnel, if the Westgate Bridge
Speaker 15: has to be closed for any particular reason, which it
Speaker 15: does happen on occasion, we will still descend into traffic chaos,
Speaker 15: and so that the tunnel will come overwhelmed. The gridlock
Speaker 15: that will happen will be just as bad. For the
Speaker 15: simple matter is we are over dependent on car traffic
Speaker 15: in and around the city. So to be building freeways
Speaker 15: in the middle of the city sort of doesn't make
Speaker 15: sense anymore.
Speaker 2: But we can't trust the public transport either. Like today,
Speaker 2: for example, the V line completely crushed again from Geelong
Speaker 2: into the city and everyone had to get a bus.
Speaker 2: Like I can understand why nobody wants to get out
Speaker 2: of their cars right now.
Speaker 15: Get a look. No transport systems perfect will always be disruptions.
Speaker 15: People do tend to accept sitting in traffic congestion more
Speaker 15: than they accept trains.
Speaker 2: Being that's true.
Speaker 15: You know that is true, and so we're dealing with
Speaker 15: people's emotions about this. But I'm talking about what's actually
Speaker 15: good for the city. And you know, we've all traveled
Speaker 15: around the world, We've all gone to cities with good
Speaker 15: public transport system and I think most people actually want
Speaker 15: that for Melbourne.
Speaker 2: They do, But you don't support suburban raw do you?
Speaker 2: From memory?
Speaker 15: Look, I've got questions about suburban railroad. I'm very happy
Speaker 15: the government's investing in public transport. It's says that there
Speaker 15: would be much better investments to be made in public transport.
Speaker 15: Suburban railroad for the benefits it's delivering, is costing way
Speaker 15: too much money. And Westgate Tunnel project is a similar example.
Speaker 15: Where the benefits of the projects are going to deliver
Speaker 15: is probably now sitting at about the third of the
Speaker 15: cost of the project. So French dollar this will end
Speaker 15: up costing. US will end up getting about thirty cents
Speaker 15: back and it's a very expensive way of not really
Speaker 15: solving a traffic congestion Propley, what.
Speaker 2: About the fact that Transurban, the toll operator, now basically
Speaker 2: has a free for all on tolls to help operate it.
Speaker 2: And in terms of Citiling extending that contract as well.
Speaker 15: Exactly, you know, the Citiling users have been paying for
Speaker 15: this project ever since it was announced back in twenty fifteen.
Speaker 15: The government did a deal to increase the tolls to
Speaker 15: pay for this project. They've extended the tolls on City
Speaker 15: Link by an extra ten years to pay for this project.
Speaker 15: So and because those motorists are paying tolls for a
Speaker 15: project they're not actually for a road they're not actually using,
Speaker 15: it's a sneaky form of taxation. It's not it's gone
Speaker 15: beyond a user pays principle. Because you're paying to use
Speaker 15: one road to fund another road. It's transferring money across
Speaker 15: and you know it's particularly unjust. I happen to live
Speaker 15: in one of the northern suburbs. So the Tellmarine Freeways
Speaker 15: one of the ones I use, and I look at
Speaker 15: envy as the people on the Eastern Freeway for example.
Speaker 15: It it's a free ride.
Speaker 2: Thank you. That's doctor Eric Keyes who's from r MIT.
Speaker 2: Interesting discussion, Tony.
Speaker 16: Tatio, well, he's raised a number of more.
Speaker 2: The toll thing is interesting, isn't it.
Speaker 16: And the public transport the thing is, of course people
Speaker 16: prefer to sit in their car in the middle of
Speaker 16: winter rather than be stuken at a railway station where
Speaker 16: the wind is blowing.
Speaker 2: Or it's basically snowing today.
Speaker 16: Yeah, of course, but we can't build. I mean people
Speaker 16: talk about Paris. Paris is building amazing public transport at
Speaker 16: the moment. But they're doing it at a quarter of
Speaker 16: our cost.
Speaker 2: Jack Well, they don't have to see for me.
Speaker 16: You Well, for whatever reason, they're doing it at a
Speaker 16: quarter of our cost.
Speaker 2: They don't have.
Speaker 16: The we would be better doing nothing.
Speaker 2: Well that's what he's saying. He's like as a cost
Speaker 2: per ware.
Speaker 16: Jackie coming up in the news at four o'clock, that's
Speaker 16: our lead story. The state government is claiming that taxpayers
Speaker 16: will not be footing the bill for another cost blowout
Speaker 16: on the Westgate Tunnel project. The cost has increased by
Speaker 16: one point five billion, taking the total bill to twelve
Speaker 16: billion dollars, and that's almost double the initial price tag.
Speaker 16: The Prime Minister will travel to China later this year,
Speaker 16: where he's expected to meet senior officials, including his counterparts
Speaker 16: Ujing Ping. It'll be Anthony Albinizi's fourth face to face

Speaker 16: to secure a face to face meeting with Donald Trump.
Speaker 16: A lawyer acting for Antoinette Latoufe has accused the ABC
Speaker 16: of ludicrous use of taxpayers money in fighting her unfair

Speaker 16: journalist seventy thousand dollars after a judge found her political
Speaker 16: opinions on the conflict in Gaza were part of the
Speaker 16: reason she was taken off air. And in Sport, Michael
Speaker 16: Voss feels like he still has the support of the
Speaker 16: Carlton bord amid mounting pressure on his position as coach.

Speaker 16: his players.

Speaker 2: trick them out of recipe.
Speaker 18: You can trick them up. You can get just your

Speaker 2: No, And what do you put in your curried sausages?
Speaker 18: Well, you start off, you fry the snags off, You
Speaker 18: fry them off, then you take them out. You do

Speaker 18: curry powder, some stock, some carrots, maybe even a dasher
Speaker 18: was to share.

Speaker 2: where you're at with it. But I admire the fact

Speaker 18: after us, all we ever had was bacon, and their
Speaker 18: house was chops for dinner.
Speaker 2: Chops. That's why I can never eat chops more. After this,
Speaker 2: I'm just shaking my head at eleven minutes to four
Speaker 2: with you and your carried sausages.
Speaker 18: Well, you can't believe it, but I googled a recipe
Speaker 18: before to see if mine was similar to what most
Speaker 18: people are doing. Did you know Google searches for carried

Speaker 6: Rich. Oh you can have your carried sausages for me.
Speaker 6: It's past. But the sauce has to be the tin

Speaker 25: up and then you can.
Speaker 2: Try them with And I'm literally try reaching them.

Speaker 18: Actually, no, I'm going to make some for you.
Speaker 2: I will not eat them. You couldn't pay me, No, don't,
Speaker 2: I'll throw up Wayne.
Speaker 3: Hello, Yeah, I'm with you with the carriage sausages on toast.
Speaker 20: I don't wait until a family away.

Speaker 31: On three aw and across Victoria Drive with Jackie Folgates.
Speaker 2: It is seven minutes past four. Thanks for your company
Speaker 2: on drive. It is really wild, as you just heard
Speaker 2: in Tony News the weather out there with that severe
Speaker 2: weather warning. Where are you now? Let us know one
Speaker 2: double three six nine three. Certainly snowing at Macedon on
Speaker 2: the nearby hills, but there is some quite significant flooding
Speaker 2: around South Melbourne in Docklands and the Yarra in places
Speaker 2: a Ponyfish Island, which is that really cute little bar
Speaker 2: that sits right on the edge of the Yarrow there
Speaker 2: that's underwater. So where are you? Let us know what
Speaker 2: the weather is like where you're from. And Phil, good afternoon,
Speaker 2: Good Jackie.
Speaker 32: Just calling to let you know. I've just been on
Speaker 32: East One getting towards Danny Long and just before Furniture Galy.
Speaker 32: In the middle of all this weather, You've got protesters
Speaker 32: on top of the bridge waiting their flags, screaming, hope
Speaker 32: I can go back to another country and help out
Speaker 32: over there instead of doing all the protesting here.
Speaker 2: What are they protesting about? Which? Which particular conflict?
Speaker 7: Three?
Speaker 23: Palestine?
Speaker 2: Okay Phil again, Okay, Phil, thank you. The drivetime TIBBIS
Speaker 2: thanks to Sheine Panel Service had an accident called shep
Speaker 2: for a replacement vehicle. Teas and Seas supply. Yes, it'd
Speaker 2: be very chilly out there today, wouldn't they And an
Speaker 2: off air drive time tip from Stephen. A truck has
Speaker 2: now broken down in the Burnley Tunnel. It is a
Speaker 2: very busy afternoon on our roads. From Transport Victoria. Chris
Speaker 2: Miller's on the line. Chris will start with the flooding.
Speaker 2: It's quite right spread around the city. I see it.
Speaker 11: Is, Jackie.
Speaker 20: And in fact we've actually had to close the Montague
Speaker 20: Street exit from the citybound lanes of the West Gate,
Speaker 20: so as you come past the ball team, most people
Speaker 20: jump off at Montague Street. There you can't get off
Speaker 20: because the end of the ramp, unfortunately is underwater. We've
Speaker 20: got crews on site. They're trying to mop it up,
Speaker 20: but it looks like it will take a while. But
Speaker 20: that means you need to jump off earlier. Maybe you
Speaker 20: could jump off at Todd Road or later, so that
Speaker 20: means getting off at King's Way or Power Street making
Speaker 20: way back. Also got flooding impacting parts of the Monash Freeway,
Speaker 20: so inbound prior to heabit and Road there is a
Speaker 20: big pool of water there. Transport Victoria Incident Responses on
Speaker 20: site to get a cover so people don't hit it
Speaker 20: at one hundred kilometers an hour. But obviously there are
Speaker 20: two of the major spots that are busy, but there's
Speaker 20: lots of standing water right across the state with this weather,
Speaker 20: and of course this weather should be a prompt for
Speaker 20: everybody to slow down, you know, just a reminder that
Speaker 20: it takes twice the amount of space to break. So
Speaker 20: when we talk about breaking, we talk about an emergency
Speaker 20: braking maneuver. It'll take you twice a distance of stop
Speaker 20: in this weather, so that means you need to leave
Speaker 20: twice the distance between you and the car in front.
Speaker 20: If everyone did that, we'll get home nice.
Speaker 2: And Chris, what about the flood runs south Melbourn because
Speaker 2: I saw a few cars once again in that area.
Speaker 2: Any of the bridge there near the market.
Speaker 20: Yep, Look, I haven't got cameras there behind York Street,
Speaker 20: but essentially it's the age old one. It always goes
Speaker 20: underwater there. Thankfully, Dudley Street looks okay at the moment,
Speaker 20: but with this amount of water coming down in this
Speaker 20: shorter space of time, it does overwhelm the drains. It's
Speaker 20: just we all just need to to I suppose, drive
Speaker 20: to the conditions, cope with it, and just rest assured
Speaker 20: that there's crews out right across they find them up
Speaker 20: it all up.
Speaker 2: Absolutely. I think it's a king tired, isn't it today.
Speaker 2: That's part of the.
Speaker 20: Problem, I believe, so we of course doesn't help things either.
Speaker 20: And you know, I wouldn't be surprised if we see
Speaker 20: more fallen trees. We had a few yesterday, but the
Speaker 20: wet weather of course makes them even more vulnerable. So
Speaker 20: you know we did all to have out wits about us.
Speaker 20: Just drive to the conditions is the key message.
Speaker 2: I think good advice. Chris Miller is from Transport, Victoria.
Speaker 2: So where are you around the state? One, double, three, six,
Speaker 2: nine and three. Let us know have you got power?
Speaker 2: That's some reports of power out in the Ivanhoe area.
Speaker 2: If you are living over that way, let us know
Speaker 2: and we'll keep an eye on it throughout the afternoon.
Speaker 2: We're also keeping an eye on the situation overseas. A
Speaker 2: lot of Australians are still in Doha waiting to get
Speaker 2: out of the airport. Obviously all of those flights were
Speaker 2: canceled or delayed or even diverted yesterday. But overnight there's
Speaker 2: been a significant development as well in terms of the
Speaker 2: conflict between Israel and Iran. I'm joined on the line
Speaker 2: now by Professor Peter Lahey, who is the former Chief
Speaker 2: of the Australian Army and now professor at the University
Speaker 2: of Canberra. As we go to air the ceasefire between
Speaker 2: the two nations. It's being upheld, but there have been
Speaker 2: a number of developments throughout the afternoon, and leaked intelligence
Speaker 2: has now cast out on President Trump's claims that the
Speaker 2: nuclear facilities were obliterated. Okay, so where to from here, professor, Good.
Speaker 11: Afternoon, Good afternoon, tacking.
Speaker 2: Well, I guess, firstly, how do you see the situation
Speaker 2: playing out over the coming days and weeks from here?
Speaker 11: Well, I think at at least there's some stability there
Speaker 11: at the moment the fighting has stopped, where I'm not
Speaker 11: at all stay stopped. They're quite unpredictable both countries involved
Speaker 11: in this, with both Israel and Iran. But I think
Speaker 11: we should be grateful at the moment that the fighting is
Speaker 11: stopped that we have an opportunity for people who want
Speaker 11: to get out of both countries get out of the area,
Speaker 11: to get away. And well done to the Australian Defense
Speaker 11: Force and the broad Australian Air Force and others who
Speaker 11: have evacuated some people. Hopefully they'll be able to get
Speaker 11: down the civil air flights now and get out. But
Speaker 11: it's good that it's slowing down, the tempos down, people
Speaker 11: aren't being killed, and there is the possibility that some
Speaker 11: stability will come back to the place.
Speaker 2: And how hopeful are you of that, given, as you say,
Speaker 2: the unpredictable nature of both science.
Speaker 11: I think we have to be fairly concerned about how
Speaker 11: long peace will last. There's a history of nearly forty
Speaker 11: and fifty years of animosity between these two countries and
Speaker 11: other countries in the region, and obviously with Iran, there's
Speaker 11: also the thought that they've got proxies, and we know
Speaker 11: that Tamas and Hezballah and the Hooties have been very
Speaker 11: much influenced and supported by Iran, and maybe even in
Speaker 11: Iran there could be dissonant groups will be saying no,
Speaker 11: we have to keep the fight going, and that might
Speaker 11: have been that missile we saw, austray missile. It seems so.
Speaker 11: I think there's every opportunity that there will be breaks
Speaker 11: in the ceasefire, but let's hope there's a momentum towards
Speaker 11: being sensible about this and trying to work through so
Speaker 11: that people can move safely in the area.
Speaker 2: Did you think that the US's decision to get involved,
Speaker 2: I guess so quickly and in the way in which
Speaker 2: they went about it. What was your view on that?
Speaker 24: Is?
Speaker 2: Are you supportive of that?
Speaker 11: If you're talking about the bombing on the nuclear facilities?
Speaker 11: Is I support that that regime in Iran is a
Speaker 11: rogue regime, it's a theocracy, and the way that they
Speaker 11: approach things and the way that they've spoken over the
Speaker 11: last years and the destruction of Israel. They're support of
Speaker 11: these terror groups through the region, but their philosophy, or
Speaker 11: let's call it a theology, is very much akin to
Speaker 11: what we've seen from iss and al Qaeda. They might
Speaker 11: be different parts of the religion Shia and Sunni, but
Speaker 11: they're all influenced by some of the thinking that came
Speaker 11: out of Egypt, particularly in the universities in Cairo, which
Speaker 11: talk about the establishment of a caliphate, installment of Sharia law,
Speaker 11: and the fact that people who are not following Islam
Speaker 11: in its correct manner are at the state and for
Speaker 11: some of them it's their duty to kill them. Now,
Speaker 11: we just can't accept that, particularly when you think that
Speaker 11: if they have that view and they have a nuclear weapon,
Speaker 11: well that can't be allowed. And I think the Americans
Speaker 11: did the right thing in taking on the nuclear weapon.
Speaker 11: Now whether or not they've got at all, well, I
Speaker 11: think we've seen the indicators now that they're prepared to
Speaker 11: stop it. And this is one of the most important
Speaker 11: aspects of the United States foreign policy. Non proliferation, whether
Speaker 11: it's nuclear, whether it's weapons of mass destruction, gas and
Speaker 11: so on, but non proliferation, and the Americans have stood
Speaker 11: up for that.
Speaker 2: And if things were to escalate further all this conflict
Speaker 2: to drag on, would did you foresee Australia getting involved
Speaker 2: in any way?
Speaker 11: I hope not. I think we've got enough going on
Speaker 11: back in our part of the world here when all
Speaker 11: of the strategic and other assessments are telling us that
Speaker 11: China is increasing its aggressive nature. China may have plans
Speaker 11: against Taiwan as early as twenty and twenty seven. So
Speaker 11: I think we've given the current nature of where we are,
Speaker 11: who we are as a nation, who we are as
Speaker 11: a defense force. We need to be keeping our paler
Speaker 11: drive for the Indo Pacific region.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Professor. That's Professor Peter Lahey, the
Speaker 2: former chief of the Australian Army. He's now a professor
Speaker 2: at the University of Canberra. Are the Prime Minister is
Speaker 2: actually off to China for the second time in a
Speaker 2: matter of weeks. That was announced about about a month ago. Now,
Speaker 2: thank you so much, professor, And Gary, returning to your
Speaker 2: calls now on the weather, Gary where are you.
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 6: I was in Sinkilda where I drive through a hailstorm
Speaker 6: and only.
Speaker 7: To come out of the other end with a blue sky.
Speaker 20: It's Melbourne.
Speaker 2: It is the four seasons in one day, although we
Speaker 2: are getting the very wintery weather today. Gary. Thank you
Speaker 2: your drivetime tips are always welcome thanks to Temper A
Speaker 2: great night's sleep night after night. The difference is Temper
Speaker 2: keep the calls coming on the weather. And a little
Speaker 2: bit later in the show, I did get some in
Speaker 2: some vision overnight and you can check it out on
Speaker 2: my instable put up on the three w socials of it.
Speaker 2: And it's an issue that we've covered before, but it
Speaker 2: was so blatant that I just thought I might discuss
Speaker 2: it on the show today. And it's tailgating again on
Speaker 2: the Geelong Road. Involves a massive b double truck and
Speaker 2: this little driver tiny car is in the middle lane.
Speaker 2: And what really shocked me about that is it would
Speaker 2: be maybe a meter at best behind, like literally almost
Speaker 2: touching the bumper bar. Now that the vision clearly shows
Speaker 2: on the dash cam vision that I've been provided with,
Speaker 2: and that the car and the truck are in the
Speaker 2: middle lane on the Geelong Road, and what shocked me
Speaker 2: is the comments and the divisive nature of this discussion,
Speaker 2: where again truck drivers, they're messaging me saying, you know,
Speaker 2: the car shouldn't be in the middle of name, and
Speaker 2: it doesn't change the fact that someone's being tailgated, and
Speaker 2: all these people are messaging saying, oh, the behavior is
Speaker 2: still it is continuing this tailgating issue. It is an ongoing,
Speaker 2: significant problem and it doesn't seem like we're doing anything
Speaker 2: about it, particularly when we're talking about trucks, because the
Speaker 2: stopping distance of a truck, I think we learn it's
Speaker 2: a couple hundred meters to stop a truck even in
Speaker 2: dry weather. So what have you seen on the Geelong
Speaker 2: Road one double three six' nine three and your behavior
Speaker 2: and behavior on the roads in. General and also return
Speaker 2: to the issue of The VIRTUAL ed because all Again
Speaker 2: i've been told a number of ambulances are off the
Speaker 2: road this, afternoon so it looks like we're heading for
Speaker 2: another of those bad nights in our hospitals and just
Speaker 2: the entire system. Overloaded but we're going to speak to
Speaker 2: people who run The VIRTUAL ed. Shortly so if you've
Speaker 2: used the, service how was, it did you find it?
Speaker 2: Successful and would you use it. Again it is twenty
Speaker 2: one minutes past. Four where are? You are you out
Speaker 2: in the? Weather is it? FREEZING i just got a
Speaker 2: message to say that the beach boxes In brighton are
Speaker 2: half washing Away? Brighton but where are? You and are
Speaker 2: you taking care on the? Roads because we're also gonna
Speaker 2: have a chat in this hour about Tailgating i've got
Speaker 2: to send some shocking vision. Again and but the angry
Speaker 2: comments from people debating what the road rules actually are
Speaker 2: on a three lane. Highway you don't have to move
Speaker 2: to the far, left you can stay in the. Middle, John, Hello,
Speaker 2: hey we help Good now what do you THINK i?
Speaker 26: Reckon everybody needs to keep with us overtaking and that
Speaker 26: all get rid of a half. Issue and the other
Speaker 26: issue is Trust that way in the right lanes a
Speaker 26: trickle shit? Too you truck on it right When i'll go?
Speaker 26: Fast everybody and might be a.
Speaker 2: Problem you want them back in the right? Lane do?
Speaker 18: You?
Speaker 2: Yep? Okay is that the answer the? Trucks should trucks
Speaker 2: be allowed back in the right? Lane one double three
Speaker 2: six nine? Three and on the virtual ed we spent
Speaker 2: a lot of time talking about it. Yesterday, aaron have
Speaker 2: you have you been.
Speaker 29: There, yes, though BUT i have a system Where i've
Speaker 29: had a herding of operation. BEFORE i was on the
Speaker 29: waiting list AND i, thought, no no waiting too. Long
Speaker 29: i'll go straight to d complained about pain and all
Speaker 29: was done the next. Day same WITH i just had
Speaker 29: mcgallbladder taken, out same. THING i was on the waiting.
Speaker 29: List it's going to take a couple of. YEARS i
Speaker 29: went straight to THE ed, again complained about, pain and
Speaker 29: it was out the next.
Speaker 2: Day, AARON i think this is part of the problem
Speaker 2: of a system that's over burdened. Too but as part
Speaker 2: of this conversation that we've been, having it was a
Speaker 2: horror night On monday for paramedics and for hospital, staff
Speaker 2: so there were up to twenty eight crews off the
Speaker 2: road because of staff. Shortages we brought you that news
Speaker 2: late on The monday. Afternoon more than one hunt ambulances
Speaker 2: ended up being ramped outside overrun hospitals and a lot
Speaker 2: of people rang in and they said it's because people
Speaker 2: go to the emergency ward when they. Shouldn't BUT i
Speaker 2: also think a lot of it comes down to the
Speaker 2: fact that people don't actually know about the other services
Speaker 2: that are. Available so some people, said you've got to
Speaker 2: use The VIRTUAL. ED i have used. THIS i used
Speaker 2: it last week for someone in my family who HAD
Speaker 2: covid and it worked really. Well Doctor Susie miller is
Speaker 2: the acting director of The Victorian Virtual Emergency. Department, hi Doctor, Susie, hello,
Speaker 2: now tell me about how people access VIRTUAL ed BECAUSE i, think,
Speaker 2: well there has been a bit of publicity around. It
Speaker 2: when you're, unwell there's an inclination in the middle of
Speaker 2: the night for people just to go to the.
Speaker 33: Hospital, absolutely it's very easy to. Access just head to
Speaker 33: any web browser and type IN vved dot org DOT.
Speaker 33: Au you'll then see a series of. Tiles you'll want
Speaker 33: to click the one that says are you sick, andwell
Speaker 33: follow the instructions and you'll be put white into a
Speaker 33: virtual leading room to be seen our emergency.
Speaker 2: Nurse and once you say the, nurse what?
Speaker 33: Happens, well the nurse is there to make sure you're
Speaker 33: safe for our. Service we are our service that is
Speaker 33: all virtual and we'll see non line threatening. Emergencies but
Speaker 33: if the nurse thinks that you're, very very sick and
Speaker 33: need a physical emergency, department she will call an ambulance for,
Speaker 33: you or perhaps even sends you to THE. Ed if
Speaker 33: the nurse thinks that you're appropriate for our, service you'll
Speaker 33: then head to see our virtual emergency. Doctor and then
Speaker 33: there are sometimes when the nurse triages you to be
Speaker 33: safe at home and can give you some education or
Speaker 33: help you make an appointment with YOUR.
Speaker 2: GP a question from one of our call is Doctor Susie.
Speaker 2: Jiff he, asked can you give prescriptions?
Speaker 33: Out, absolutely and we can send them via email OR
Speaker 33: sms to your.
Speaker 2: Phone, Okay and is there been an influx of people
Speaker 2: logging on like a you're very.
Speaker 33: Busy we are, busy but we're always happy to see
Speaker 33: more because our entire goal here is to keep that
Speaker 33: physical emergency department from not being overrun so that it
Speaker 33: can take care of the people who really need. It
Speaker 33: at the, time we are currently seeing eight hundred to
Speaker 33: one thousand patients a day and keeping eighty four percent
Speaker 33: of them out of the PHYSICAL.
Speaker 2: Ed that's very, good isn't.
Speaker 11: It?
Speaker 2: So how can people get in contact with you just
Speaker 2: on the? Internet that's basically how it. Works you can't
Speaker 2: call up or they will the nurse call the person
Speaker 2: if they're older and not good at using tech like.
Speaker 33: That, Yeah, unfortunately right now there is no call. Up
Speaker 33: you do have to come through the, internet but perhaps
Speaker 33: there's a neighbor or family member that could help you get.
Speaker 33: On but one thing that can be very helpful is
Speaker 33: we have a pre registration, Process so if you head
Speaker 33: to vveed dot org dot, au you can click to
Speaker 33: pre register and do that when you're feeling well and
Speaker 33: fill out the form in your own, time not when
Speaker 33: you're very. Stressed and then when you do need THE,
Speaker 33: vved you can have an account and come in almost
Speaker 33: like online, shopping and it makes the process much quicker and.
Speaker 2: Easier and what is the right time on THE ed?
Speaker 2: When is it obviously busier at different times of the.
Speaker 33: Day of, course it is busy at different times of
Speaker 33: the day and sometimes it's hard to, predict but we
Speaker 33: tend to be much busier in the evenings and. Overnight
Speaker 33: the wait time. Varies sometimes you'll be seen in five,
Speaker 33: minutes sometimes it can be up to an. Hour but
Speaker 33: if it is a longer, wait we will let you
Speaker 33: know and communicate to you the wait times as best we.
Speaker 2: Can another call That alexander has asked if you will
Speaker 2: still need to queue up at the REAL ed if
Speaker 2: you were told to go in by VIRTUAL.
Speaker 33: Ad, WELL i can't promise you that as you come
Speaker 33: to THE vvd that we can make the process, faster
Speaker 33: but we can make it. Smoother and WHAT i mean
Speaker 33: by that is we will have an emergency doctor see
Speaker 33: you and write a discharge summary that we send via
Speaker 33: fax or can even send to you to bring to
Speaker 33: the emergency, department and we can call the emergency department
Speaker 33: doctor that's in the PHYSICAL ed and, say, look can
Speaker 33: you keep a heads up we're sending this person. In
Speaker 33: so it's we have a, good good way of transferring the.
Speaker 33: Information but sometimes you do just have to wait in
Speaker 33: the physical ed and it's.
Speaker 2: Free you just need Your medica.
Speaker 33: Card you don't even need A medica. Card it is
Speaker 33: free to anybody physically present In victoria and in the
Speaker 33: border towns that are serviced By Victorian Health.
Speaker 3: System.
Speaker 2: Good have you got any amazing stories of people that
Speaker 2: you've managed to trade or any interesting things that have
Speaker 2: happened that you can tell us.
Speaker 33: About oh my, gosh there are too. Many but here's
Speaker 33: the WAY i think about. It the ones that warm
Speaker 33: my heart are you, know the two year old wakes
Speaker 33: up in the middle of the night with a croopy
Speaker 33: cough and the parents look at each other and, say
Speaker 33: which one of you is going to miss the night
Speaker 33: of sleep to take your daughter to the Physical emergency
Speaker 33: department and wait to be seen and be, seen and.
Speaker 14: There goes the whole.
Speaker 33: Night and, instead if you call, us we actually have
Speaker 33: emergency physicians that can see, you can make sure your
Speaker 33: daughter is, safe can actually prescribe medicine to treat this
Speaker 33: if it is. Croup and we now have an observation
Speaker 33: ward that's all virtual that we can put you into
Speaker 33: to check up on you throughout the next day or
Speaker 33: two to make sure your child's doing. Well and, look
Speaker 33: everyone gets to stay at home and hopefully get a
Speaker 33: little bit more.
Speaker 2: Sleep it's a very good. Idea thanks Doctor. Susie that's
Speaker 2: Doctor Susie, miller who is the acting director of The
Speaker 2: Victorian Virtual Emergency. Department LIKE i, SAID i used. It
Speaker 2: it was really. Good it really worked, well AND i
Speaker 2: got a script for the person that needed it and
Speaker 2: she was able to go off and sort that out
Speaker 2: and it worked. Well Chris, Hallo, hi.
Speaker 34: You're looking in relation to the v V. D i
Speaker 34: think the doctors summed it up really. Well we've used,
Speaker 34: it and it does what it's designed to do in
Speaker 34: keeping people out of the emergencies of type physical emergency.
Speaker 34: DEPARTMENT i, mean we had a family member with a
Speaker 34: severe stomach. Issue it would have made it really hard
Speaker 34: for them to go and wait in the megicancy department's
Speaker 34: payment in knew v V ed was new at that,
Speaker 34: time and we used it with an incredible amount of.
Speaker 34: Success SO i, think you, know it's more about an
Speaker 34: education campaign about the vv everything. Else and you, know
Speaker 34: EVERYONE i tell about it it doesn't know about.
Speaker 2: It, yes that's WHY i thought we'd do it on the.
Speaker 35: Show it's just such a grouse. Invention you know that
Speaker 35: the software is something that you would use on a
Speaker 35: mining site for a person that's, sick but it works
Speaker 35: really well in this.
Speaker 2: Context, Yeah, chris thank. YOU i appreciate. That AND i
Speaker 2: think it does come down to. Information and they do
Speaker 2: have An instagram page and they do have a obviously
Speaker 2: the website that you go through when you've got to
Speaker 2: go through the. Process BUT i think to get a
Speaker 2: nurse to see my family member, RECENTLY i think it
Speaker 2: took maybe ten, minutes and it was it was super.
Speaker 2: Easy it's it wasn't difficult to navigate at, all even
Speaker 2: for people who may not be that tech savvy tech
Speaker 2: Savy Tony, tadier this is the VIRTUAL.
Speaker 16: Ed if you want to see.
Speaker 2: A, doctor.
Speaker 16: Mejie unfortunately.
Speaker 2: You just, Well, tony if you're reading the, news you
Speaker 2: could do. This it's literally like you go on you

Speaker 2: sick in the middle of the night and you don't
Speaker 2: want to have to go and wait in the immerge your,
Speaker 2: department you can go. There it's. Good it's a good government.
Speaker 2: Thing we spent a lot of time bagging. Them it's
Speaker 2: a good.
Speaker 16: Service, yeah, NO i, agree it's it is a good.
Speaker 16: Thing the only WORRY i would have is that if
Speaker 16: you're using this and you really need to go and
Speaker 16: see a, doctor.
Speaker 2: So You so what happened with my family member was
Speaker 2: they did need to see a. Doctor so what happened

Speaker 36: serious we take these types of events in scenarios and say.
Speaker 36: Forth so, look COMPANY i work for has cameras facing,
Speaker 36: inwards facing, outwards and they're actually NOW ai cameras that
Speaker 36: scan the cars in front and they meagure the. Distance
Speaker 36: they keep an eye on the, drivers you know, eyes
Speaker 36: they're taking their eyes off the road and so. Forth
Speaker 36: and every time a driver tailgates another vehicle in front
Speaker 36: of THE ai camera picks it up and sends an
Speaker 36: email to the compliance seem when we get that in
Speaker 36: a matter of in a matter of.
Speaker 2: Amazing.
Speaker 36: Yeah but, look there's a lot of transfer companies that
Speaker 36: do take it really seriously and the way their drivers
Speaker 36: behave and, look unfortunately there are road trust drivers out
Speaker 36: there that you put other people at risk and drive
Speaker 36: in a mant of it not. Safe so, look you
Speaker 36: know you get your good man and everywhere you.
Speaker 2: Do CAN i ask you a, question then you're obviously
Speaker 2: well across, it AND i find that. Fascinating i'd love
Speaker 2: to find some more details out about THE ai. Cameras
Speaker 2: but CAN i ask you about truckies because we've covered this, Before,
Speaker 2: michael and what we learned was that a lot of
Speaker 2: them for not necessarily good, operators but they have Like
Speaker 2: WhatsApp groups And facebook groups and they swap shifts and
Speaker 2: sometimes that last TIME i did, it the guy wasn't
Speaker 2: even licensed to drive In, australia let alone drive a.
Speaker 2: Truck and they use sort of migrant labor to do
Speaker 2: a lot of these long haul drives and the company
Speaker 2: doesn't even know that's what's.
Speaker 36: Happening, Okay look there ARE i, mean LOOK i can't
Speaker 36: talk for every, company but our company only highest people
Speaker 36: with bridging visas that actually are going through that process
Speaker 36: that they're applying, to you, know that live In. Australia
Speaker 36: they're applying, to you, know applying for jobs pernally. Here
Speaker 36: so we only use. That but, look there are, exemptions
Speaker 36: there are exemptions in place that you can actually drive
Speaker 36: on an international, License.
Speaker 2: But do you think that when you're driving? It, Yeah
Speaker 2: and that's WHAT i want to talk about if you're
Speaker 2: driving A b, double should you be driving In australia
Speaker 2: on an international? License should you not have a license In.
Speaker 36: Australia, Well australia has The australia has the biggest and
Speaker 36: longest vehicles in the. WORLD i mean you'll see, Now,

Speaker 36: bee triples and road drive around The Monash EastLink and
Speaker 36: there are all around the west Of, suburbs east and
Speaker 36: southeast The. Suburbs, now so, YEAH i mean you put

Speaker 2: catherine and next time we talk about. THIS ai cameras on.
Speaker 2: Trucks have you heard about that if you're a truckie

Speaker 2: last time was the fact that we learned that a
Speaker 2: lot of these truck drivers are on international, licenses and
Speaker 2: in fact some of them are not even licensed to
Speaker 2: drive In, australia and they basically pick up ships shifts
Speaker 2: randomly and As michael, says we have the biggest trucks
Speaker 2: in the. World it's just a disaster waiting to. Happen,

Speaker 22: Court there's two extra houses at the end are serviced
Speaker 22: by this. Footpath it's you can see from the.
Speaker 39: Pictures it's easy to walk.
Speaker 22: Around and so Then i've appealed to them explaining the

Speaker 22: to the magistrate's court In. Dromana but they didn't actually
Speaker 22: serve my. Notice they didn't serve my notice to the right.
Speaker 22: Place even Though i've got a postal address and a residential.

Speaker 2: Case a what a wasted revenue?
Speaker 22: Raising and, yeah it's just, so it's just so, ridiculous
Speaker 22: AND i thought it needs to be out there in
Speaker 22: case it's happening to other, people because they shouldn't be

Speaker 2: Councils your mum's, elderly you're helping a move were you're
Speaker 2: taking her to the? Doctor can you give us a
Speaker 2: bit of a? Spell And tracy on The Geelong, Road.
Speaker 42: Hello, yes Hi, jackie how are you going?
Speaker 11: Good?
Speaker 42: LOOK i drove up To melbourne and back. Today had
Speaker 42: actually planned to take the train because of the, weather
Speaker 42: AND i knew the driving conditions would be, terrible but,
Speaker 42: then you, know hearing about the issues with the train
Speaker 42: line that little, RIVER i, decided all, Right i'm just going.
Speaker 20: To have to.
Speaker 42: Drive AND i was actually shocked at the number of
Speaker 42: people that still drive like.
Speaker 2: They would in dry.
Speaker 42: Conditions they say speed and you, know there was puddles
Speaker 42: on the side of the. Road it was pelding down
Speaker 42: the whole way, basically and with regard to what you're
Speaker 42: saying about the. Trucks as we, know there's a lot
Speaker 42: of trucks that you use The Gelong.
Speaker 11: Road.
Speaker 42: AND i remember thinking to, MYSELF i can't believe how
Speaker 42: fast these trucks are. Driving and they're literally pushing. People
Speaker 42: you can tell they're, like you, know driving way too
Speaker 42: close to smaller cars in front of, them trying to
Speaker 42: get them to go fast or move over because they
Speaker 42: know they can't go into the the right. Lane so,
Speaker 42: YEAH i remember thinking the very thing what you were,
Speaker 42: saying that they just kind, of you, know.
Speaker 25: Drive too close.
Speaker 42: To people in front of, them and you, know with
Speaker 42: the stopping distance in the, weather you, know it's it's
Speaker 42: just a rest people. Disaster if someone has to put
Speaker 42: the brakes on or people in the small vehicles that
Speaker 42: are going to, suffer that's. It so, YEAH i just
Speaker 42: can't believe that people, generally not just tracks but in
Speaker 42: general don't slow down at all when the weather is so.
Speaker 42: TERRIBLE i basically just jumped in the left lane and stayed,
Speaker 42: there and you, KNOW i was just on ninety ninety
Speaker 42: five the whole.
Speaker 2: Way they sort of, Bully they bully, you don't They,
Speaker 2: Tracy thank. You there's this. MOVIE i think it's Called
Speaker 2: jewel over seeing it years. AGO i think it was
Speaker 2: the first, movie or certainly one of the first movies
Speaker 2: That Steven spielberg ever. Did and it's like a trucky
Speaker 2: that trust trust to bump someone off by terrorizing them
Speaker 2: on the. Road it's quite, scary, actually AND i did
Speaker 2: mention this at the top of show AND i wanted
Speaker 2: to come back to it in this. Hour so last
Speaker 2: night there was this really fiery council meeting at The
Speaker 2: city Of wyndham and what was the result of it
Speaker 2: was that they voted for THE us council, money three
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy thousand dollars of it to fund a
Speaker 2: private security for for the suburb Of, Truga. Nina so
Speaker 2: a couple of issues with. This if you want to
Speaker 2: hire private, SECURITY i actually got offered to that in
Speaker 2: our last house In hampton Over. Christmas they actually pulled
Speaker 2: together and everyone paid for it on the. STREET i
Speaker 2: didn't do, it but other people in surrounding streets. Did
Speaker 2: they had the Mon John vans and they came around
Speaker 2: AND i think they did this In Albert park Or
Speaker 2: Port melbourne as. Well that's fine if you want to
Speaker 2: pay for that privately and that makes you feel better
Speaker 2: and sleep at, night like you shouldn't have. To it
Speaker 2: should be that we have enough resources that we don't
Speaker 2: have an issue with crime or and the police will.
Speaker 2: Come but if you want to pay for. THAT i
Speaker 2: don't have a problem with. THAT i have a problem
Speaker 2: with a council doing that and only running it in
Speaker 2: one suburb when the whole council has to pay for,
Speaker 2: it and also that's rate. Payers and also on, that
Speaker 2: like what happens if this private security force hired by
Speaker 2: the council, approaches say an offender or a youth. Offender
Speaker 2: are they going to have a gun on? Them are
Speaker 2: they going to have a weapon on? Them are they
Speaker 2: a quasi police? Force what rules are around? That and
Speaker 2: what are they going to do if they?
Speaker 16: DO a?
Speaker 2: Coach someone one double three six nine three on the
Speaker 2: line now Is. Rebecca she's a resident Of Wyndham City.
Speaker 2: Council good, Afternoon, Rebecca.
Speaker 43: Good, Afternoon.
Speaker 30: Jackie thanks for Teking.
Speaker 2: Michael that's. Okay so were you at the council meeting
Speaker 2: last night or have you heard about?
Speaker 43: IT i, NO i was tuning in online on their
Speaker 43: live stream by their website.
Speaker 2: So what was going on at the, meeting because WHAT
Speaker 2: i understand is that most people who were approached to
Speaker 2: vote on this voted.
Speaker 32: No that's.
Speaker 43: Correct so last night was the decision on a budget
Speaker 43: that was previously discussed where Great payers money would be
Speaker 43: spent throughout the, municipality and the security patrols was a
Speaker 43: vote of contention for a lot of residents as well as.
Speaker 43: COUNSELORS a vote was made last night where six councilors
Speaker 43: have voted in favor of the security, patrols the private
Speaker 43: security patrols with residents great payers, money and five councilors
Speaker 43: voted against.
Speaker 2: Them so very.
Speaker 43: Close, yes it was. Definitely it was definitely almost a
Speaker 43: hung drury and there was a lot of strong opinions
Speaker 43: at the council last. Night and this funding has caused
Speaker 43: a huge division in the. Community there's a lot of
Speaker 43: commentary on social, media even people in shopping, centers at
Speaker 43: school pickups and things like. That the residents are not.
Speaker 43: HAPPY i don't see myself as a resident of truggling in.
Speaker 43: IT i would be benefiting from this and it's not
Speaker 43: the right way to go about rate payers. MONEY i
Speaker 43: believe this is a private security company cannot enforce any.
Speaker 30: Rules they're no different to.
Speaker 43: A neighborhood watch or A cctv camera that's. Monitored AND
Speaker 43: i just think the council is making a mockery of
Speaker 43: rate payers money thinking that this is acceptable and they're
Speaker 43: able to make these kind of decisions on a.
Speaker 2: WHIM i agree with, that AND i know it's a,
Speaker 2: trial but three hundred and seventy dollars for a local,
Speaker 2: council that's a lot of. Money, yeah three hundred and seventy,
Speaker 2: three three seventy, thousand thank. You, yes it's an awful
Speaker 2: lot of money.
Speaker 43: In the big scheme of. Things as a, council they
Speaker 43: were discussing lots of decisions involving millions of. Dollars it's
Speaker 43: very concerning that these counselors think this is appropriate and
Speaker 43: this is a small amount of money in theory of
Speaker 43: what they actually have control, of decision making wise for
Speaker 43: the rest of the.
Speaker 2: Community, rebecca thank, you so won double three six ninety.
Speaker 2: Three council private? Security is that not the job Of Victoria?
Speaker 2: Police is that not a state government. Responsibility i'll come
Speaker 2: back to calls in just a, tick BUT i need
Speaker 2: to get To Chris miller now on The Surf Coast

Speaker 2: counsel private. Security is this the job of the local? Council, Sean, hello.
Speaker 7: Yeah, ohjcki this Is i'm actually a resident In wyndham
Speaker 7: and it's quite disgusting to be, honest like we're currently
Speaker 7: going through quite the uncomfortable period with you crime out this,
Speaker 7: way and for them to be kind of budgeting such
Speaker 7: a large money for a small part WHEN i have
Speaker 7: members of my family who are too scared to go
Speaker 7: to the local plan due to really current crime, rate
Speaker 7: and they're investing in a smaller area Of windham that
Speaker 7: is also kind of if we were to look at
Speaker 7: the crime, RATES i am very sure that that would
Speaker 7: be one of the lowest in the.
Speaker 2: Area So, sean tell me where the. Difference so we've
Speaker 2: Got Tragga, nina which is where the trial is going
Speaker 2: to take. Place whereabouts to you and how far away are?
Speaker 7: You, yeah So i'm more central warbye and kind Of
Speaker 7: i'm talking about you, know we've got the massive plaza
Speaker 7: In werriby that is also Bordering Office. Crossing but we've
Speaker 7: also had out In Manda lakes which is again another smaller.
Speaker 11: Kind of shopping.
Speaker 7: Center, again same kind of. Issue it's just. Disgusting i've
Speaker 7: lived in whereby now nearly fifteen, years and this council
Speaker 7: continues to cry for it continues to say it can't
Speaker 7: do things in the area because you know that's got no,
Speaker 7: money and yet it's going to go to waste money
Speaker 7: on some of the small. AREA i.
Speaker 2: AGREE i also don't think it's the job of a
Speaker 2: council to provide private, Security. Sean, well to be.
Speaker 7: Honest with, You, JACKIE i think the police are pretty,
Speaker 7: strapped to be. Honest it's becoming quite scarier this. Way
Speaker 7: and we used to we used to laugh and joke
Speaker 7: about it that wherever it wasn't exactly you, know the
Speaker 7: best place to, live but it's just getting.
Speaker 11: Scary.
Speaker 2: Sean let's stay in. Touch i'd love to keep your
Speaker 2: details the next. Time we might look into it. Tomorrow
Speaker 2: in terms of like the legallet, LIKE i don't know what,
Speaker 2: councils what their remit is on hiring private security to
Speaker 2: only use be paid for for the whole city Of.
Speaker 2: Windham the rappayers put the money towards but the council
Speaker 2: only does it in one. Area and As sean, said
Speaker 2: if there's a crime problem right across the suburb spoken
Speaker 2: about issues in the west. Before why to only one
Speaker 2: Little why does only one little area get get the? Boost, Michelle, Hello,
Speaker 2: yeah Hi.
Speaker 45: JACKIE i just wanted to add to the commentary From,
Speaker 45: sean but from a perspective IF i. COULD i actually
Speaker 45: brought my elderly parents down From Country victoria and took
Speaker 45: them Down Wotton, street the main part Of, weerriby the
Speaker 45: little high street Of. Weerriby the paving footpath is that.
Speaker 45: UNEVEN i had to warn them nearly every step just
Speaker 45: watch your, step just watch your. Step the pavement is super.
Speaker 45: Uneasy yet we're wasting three hundred and fifty k for
Speaker 45: one tiny pocket when we've got issues not just In Whattton,
Speaker 45: street but all across our electric, Area Wyndham Point, cook you,
Speaker 45: know Were Aby, South we've Got, Whereby we've got you,
Speaker 45: Know windom. Everything so some think they need to take
Speaker 45: a good hard look of themselves and just have a
Speaker 45: look at what they're supposed to be doing and not
Speaker 45: get too far in the, detail Right.
Speaker 2: MICHELLE i? Agree, Yeah, michelle thank. You so, yeah what
Speaker 2: else could it we spend on In Werriby And michelle's,
Speaker 2: saying let's just do the. Base it's actually a microcosm
Speaker 2: of the whole, state isn't. It just get the basics right,
Speaker 2: First so private, security council, funded ratepayer funded three hundred
Speaker 2: and seventy thousand dollars trial for a couple of streets
Speaker 2: In Traugga. Niner so are you okay with? That if
Speaker 2: you live in The werribee Windham vale, area let us,

Speaker 8: middle of the road in them ly. Street i'm, SORRY
Speaker 8: i don't know the name of, it but it looks
Speaker 8: like whatever is happening is happening down that side. Street
Speaker 8: rod Than Sydney road THAT i can imagine it will
Speaker 8: get pretty.
Speaker 2: Busy, Absolutely, meredith thank You you're drive time tip is always.
Speaker 2: Welcome thanks To TEMPER a great night sleep night after.
Speaker 2: Night the difference Is. Temper what do you think about council?
Speaker 2: SECURITY i just don't know if this passes the pub.
Speaker 2: Test this thing In Wyinden, vale three hundred and seventy
Speaker 2: thousand dollars passed last night at a really fiery council.
Speaker 2: Meeting when the council went out for public consultations on
Speaker 2: whether they should hire private. Security the majority of people said.
Speaker 2: No but then it's still got passed and now they're
Speaker 2: paying for, it to the tune of you, know three
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy thousand dollars and it's only one, suburb
Speaker 2: so everyone else misses. Out, Heather hello Hight.
Speaker 46: Jackie i've been a resident of where It be for
Speaker 46: fifty years this. Year have always been very happy with the.
Speaker 46: Council this this decision by the council last night has
Speaker 46: really rocked my. WORLD i always thought councils were to
Speaker 46: represent the local rate. Payers in this, instance they put
Speaker 46: out a the budget three months ago people for their
Speaker 46: opinions four thousand people In weerriby actually took the time
Speaker 46: out to express their opinion against this. Move it's only,
Speaker 46: representing as you, said a very small part Of. Windham
Speaker 46: when we moved in it was ten thousand. People we've
Speaker 46: now grown in fifty years to almost half a. Million
Speaker 46: it is not covering anywhere near where it should. Be
Speaker 46: it's a True demina currently is number four on the crime,
Speaker 46: rate you, know top list of. Crime we're out in Western.
Speaker 46: Werriby whereas the young man said, Before Manu lakes has
Speaker 46: an awful amount of. Crime it's not. That if it
Speaker 46: was going to be put, anywhere that's the area it
Speaker 46: should be put, in not adding Through guanina as it's done,
Speaker 46: before but has very little crime rate compared to what
Speaker 46: the other younger. Said you, know it's just not good.
Speaker 47: Enough they're not.
Speaker 46: Representing their people. Anymore it's their. Concern if they want,
Speaker 46: that they can pay for, it like the people In.
Speaker 2: Brighton, Yeah, HEATHER i agree. COMPLETELY i think you've summed
Speaker 2: up the. Situation. Well tomorrow we might take a further.
Speaker 2: Look so to drop us an email, anytime drive it
Speaker 2: through at w dot com dot au on private. Security
Speaker 2: people still doing this and paying for it Around. Melbourne it's.
Speaker 2: Expensive BUT i do not think it is the role
Speaker 2: of the council to do this because this is just
Speaker 2: the first council that's doing it In, Traugga Nina, Well.
Speaker 2: Windenba what about everyone else around the. State so we're
Speaker 2: going to have other. Councils now that Says i'm going
Speaker 2: to whack one or two million dollars into private security
Speaker 2: because the police can't get there in. Time it seems
Speaker 2: like we're Treating we're going about it. Backwards it's like
Speaker 2: the chicken in the, egg, right shouldn't we look at
Speaker 2: the crime itself before we start looking at how to
Speaker 2: deal with it from a private security force type of,
Speaker 2: view it's like a private. Police what do you? Think
Speaker 2: one double three six ninety Three and just on tailgating as.
Speaker 2: WELL i got some vision sent to me over the Week.
Speaker 2: Monday it was on my. Socials it's up now and
Speaker 2: truck on The Geelong road and it happens way too.
Speaker 2: Often it is incredibly dangerous and it can be life.
Speaker 2: Threatening Now kylie sent us in that. Vision, kylie good, Afternoon.
Speaker 12: Hello, jackie how are you?
Speaker 18: Good?
Speaker 2: Now what shocks me about this is the amount of
Speaker 2: people that ring up and justify what's going, On, kylie
Speaker 2: you witnessed it was the car driver doing anything.
Speaker 12: Wrong the car driver was doing absolutely nothing. Wrong to
Speaker 12: give you some, context the traffic was relatively. HEAVY i
Speaker 12: was in the fast, lane the right hand, lane doing
Speaker 12: the speed, limit so, yes the car was doing under
Speaker 12: the one hundred kilometers an. Hour, however it was legitimately
Speaker 12: overtaking cars that were in the left, lane the slow.
Speaker 12: Lane so to, me the truck driver is one hundred
Speaker 12: and ten percent in the.
Speaker 2: Wrong how close would you describe seeing it in? Person
Speaker 2: because it looked to me like it was maybe a
Speaker 2: meter off the bumper.
Speaker 12: Bar oh not even not even if there was a
Speaker 12: baby in the back of that car and for whatever
Speaker 12: reason they would have had slammed the brakes, ON i
Speaker 12: can tell you, now actually the whole family would have been.
Speaker 12: Gone was literally lessen. IT i couldn't believe it WHEN
Speaker 12: i actually saw there was a car.
Speaker 14: In front of that.
Speaker 2: Truck, KYLIE i really appreciate this because. SYMPTOMS i JUST
Speaker 2: i cannot fathom why people continue to justify why truck
Speaker 2: drivers do this stuff and make excuses for. It it
Speaker 2: makes me really. Angry do you travel the road a?
Speaker 38: Lot, NO i.
Speaker 12: Don't but that journey, ALONE i went To geelong and
Speaker 12: back to visit, friend and on the way BACK i.
Speaker 48: Copped at least two other, episodes not as bad as
Speaker 48: the one THAT i said, You but there was a
Speaker 48: pea plater that was being tailgated on the way, back
Speaker 48: AND i just.
Speaker 12: THOUGHT i can see my kids in that. Situation they're
Speaker 12: in pea, plates AND i thought they would actually panic
Speaker 12: if they saw a truck right up their, backside they would.
Speaker 12: Panic and whether or not they would actually think to
Speaker 12: move confidently to the left or the right and let
Speaker 12: that truck, PASS i don't actually.
Speaker 2: Know, Kylie thank. You let me give you two bottles
Speaker 2: of The Borderly Buttery. Chardonay it is new and. Delicious
Speaker 2: i'll put you back to. Live and it's the. Ray
Speaker 2: each element of this that just really worries. Me the fact,
Speaker 2: that As kylie, says you've got pea, players you've got young,
Speaker 2: drivers you've got people in small. Cars the car has
Speaker 2: done nothing wrong. Here it is not in the ride,
Speaker 2: lane and even if it, was it's still no. Excuse
Speaker 2: this whole debate about making excuses for. Trucks Jim, Hello.
Speaker 30: Yeah, Hi, jackie thanks for taking my. CALL i spend
Speaker 30: countless hours on the roads for, work AND i cover
Speaker 30: the entire state in the industry THAT i work, in
Speaker 30: AND i think that we have A i, mean we
Speaker 30: definitely have a massive problem where people just don't kept
Speaker 30: people left unless. Overtaking BUT i see trucks tailgating day
Speaker 30: in day. Out TODAY i saw a truck tailgating a
Speaker 30: four wheel drive that had a big baby on board
Speaker 30: sticker out in the, back AND i just thought to, myself,
Speaker 30: Like i've got young, kids and every DAY i think to,
Speaker 30: myself LIKE i just want to get home to my, Family,
Speaker 30: like do not, tailgate, Honestly And i'm sure there's many
Speaker 30: people that encounter it on the. Roads And, JACKIE i
Speaker 30: just wanted to get your thoughts on. SOMETHING i noticed
Speaker 30: that on all the major arterials in this, state more
Speaker 30: often than, not the speed limits are eighty kilometers per,
Speaker 30: hour whether it's peak hour or. Not, Yeah AND i
Speaker 30: just want your. Thoughts do you think that creates more
Speaker 30: frustration because Sometimes i'm doing eighty AND i always stick
Speaker 30: to the speed, limit BUT i feel like it's not quick.
Speaker 30: Enough and do you think that having an eighty kilometer
Speaker 30: speed limit just gets people more, frustrated especially trucks that,
Speaker 30: think you know, What i've got a speed up so
Speaker 30: they shit on one.
Speaker 2: Hundred, Yeah, JIM i actually. Reckon you make a really interesting.
Speaker 2: Point And tony's just walked in to do the news.
Speaker 2: Headlines and one of the THINGS i think that frustrates
Speaker 2: people a lot is the thirty and the really low
Speaker 2: speed limits in the city, too BECAUSE i KNOW i
Speaker 2: understand why we have, them but we've talked about a.
Speaker 2: Lot But jim's point there that it just builds.
Speaker 16: Aggression the government is collecting a billion dollars in, fines
Speaker 16: AND i would tip that every time they lower a
Speaker 16: speed limit they collect, More SO i would just it's
Speaker 16: got a lot to do with revenue.
Speaker 2: RAISING i wouldn't say you'd suspected.
Speaker 16: Why would you make it eighty when you can do one.
Speaker 2: HUNDRED i think it's talking about The, monash isn't he
Speaker 2: that that little stretch on The? Monash, YEAH i don't.
Speaker 2: Know WHAT i worry about is the type of aggression
Speaker 2: and anger involving large vehicles up the backsides of smaller
Speaker 2: vehicles on our.
Speaker 16: Roads, yeah, well they've got an. Advantage they're big, yes
Speaker 16: and this vision is. Worrying you, know that can cause
Speaker 16: quite a lot of.
Speaker 2: Damage but it makes an interesting. Point who doesn't mean
Speaker 2: a caller no about what about? Meat SOMETIMES.
Speaker 16: I don't Think i've made one interest to, him the
Speaker 16: caller forty.
Speaker 2: Years you, Have so we love talking about. Trees the other, Day,
Speaker 2: yeah when people just could not, call our listeners could
Speaker 2: not stop wanting to have their, say.
Speaker 16: Because there's a lot of anger about. That AND i
Speaker 16: can understand the. Anger you own your. Property, yes you've
Speaker 16: determined that your tree is dangerous and you don't want
Speaker 16: your children and grandchildren to play out. There and they
Speaker 16: think they know better until something.
Speaker 2: Happened a lot of people ranging about ways to bump off,
Speaker 2: trees which we do not. Advocate i'm just saying they.
Speaker 30: Did.
Speaker 16: See my problem Is i've got about five houses where
Speaker 16: it could for.
Speaker 2: You, yes IF i was.
Speaker 16: To do something or got somebody else to, do BECAUSE
Speaker 16: i wouldn't do it, myself there'd be. Problems AND i
Speaker 16: wouldn't ever do that, Anyway. Joe i'm a law abiding
Speaker 16: citizen always And i'm going to die that way, soon thank.

Speaker 49: Jackie CAN i just start off by SAYING i always
Speaker 49: find you very fair and over for, Discussion just to
Speaker 49: put a little bit of perspective on the truck drivers
Speaker 49: side of. THINGS i do. Not i've been a driver
Speaker 49: for a number of. Years i'm fifty. FIVE i do
Speaker 49: not condone or accept any truck driver. Tailgating its one
Speaker 49: of my pet. Hates even WHEN i see it, DRIVING
Speaker 49: i shake my head at the track. Driver But i'd
Speaker 49: hate all of us to be tired with the same.
Speaker 50: Rush BECAUSE i drive on.
Speaker 49: A regular basis every, night any local up through the
Speaker 49: roadworks for the tunnel and so. On the amount of
Speaker 49: accidents THAT i avoid on a nightly basis is. Tremendous
Speaker 49: the red crosses on the bridges and the lanes closed
Speaker 49: don't exist for car. DRIVERS i was changing lanes last
Speaker 49: night and had my left hand indicator on months the lanes,
Speaker 49: open AND i had several cars duck up my left
Speaker 49: hand side to overtake. Me we all know overtaken on
Speaker 49: the left hand side, illegal and my indicator didn't mean,
Speaker 49: Anything so there's.
Speaker 50: Always a snowball. Effect we all know that cars cut
Speaker 50: in at the last, yes SO i understand that we
Speaker 50: can cause a lot more, damage but we can also
Speaker 50: be involved in accidents that aren't our, fault which harm
Speaker 50: and can sometimes kill people through no you know.
Speaker 2: FOLLOW i totally agree with, That, Alan, YEAH.
Speaker 49: I would just like, to you, know like a little
Speaker 49: bit of. Fairness LIKE i, SAID i don't condone tailgating at,
Speaker 49: all but just please don't tarissle with.
Speaker 2: Rush that's, fair that's. Fair AND i did want to
Speaker 2: ask you as, well now what's your view on because
Speaker 2: last time we did, this what we found out in
Speaker 2: the end was that the driver that was the tailgater
Speaker 2: was not only unlicensed to drive a, truck but was
Speaker 2: actually allegedly unlicensed to drive at all In australia and
Speaker 2: was a lot of these workers are coming in from
Speaker 2: overseas on international licenses at driving these massive rigs without
Speaker 2: the proper.
Speaker 51: Experience, ABSOLUTELY i, SAID i do a lot of wharf
Speaker 51: work and stuff with the, containers and, yeah you'll see
Speaker 51: one driver go to the wharf with A b double
Speaker 51: or AN a double and they'll get, out and if
Speaker 51: they've got.
Speaker 49: Somebody of their nation close, by they'll actually get them
Speaker 49: to reverse the trucks where they need. To and, yes
Speaker 49: it is a worrying trend out. There but also in saying,
Speaker 49: THAT i work with a lot of international boys Which
Speaker 49: i'm really close, to which are wonderful and fantastic. Vibors so,
Speaker 49: yeah we just need to tighten the screws on that
Speaker 49: sort of, thing which will.
Speaker 2: Help, yeah. Yeah, Alan, Look, ALLAN i appreciate you having
Speaker 2: a getting your point. ACROSS i think you did it,
Speaker 2: well but there is no excuse for the type of
Speaker 2: tailer gatting and the comments on social at the moment
Speaker 2: bagging the car driver, who as our witnesses, said did nothing. Wrong,
Speaker 2: Alan thank you, though great call And. Sean, Hello.
Speaker 39: Hi, jackie how are you good?
Speaker 2: Now you live In Wyndham?
Speaker 14: Vale, yeah Mana.
Speaker 39: Lake so the back part Of Windom. JACKIE, i like
Speaker 39: the other callers you've, had are pretty disgusted with the
Speaker 39: security child that was ded in last. Night BUT i
Speaker 39: think the one focus that we all they should have
Speaker 39: is what has actually had to come out of the
Speaker 39: budget in order to facilitate.
Speaker 2: This so what did come?
Speaker 39: In, well you tell men will both know it was
Speaker 39: because the whole basically with how it actually got into
Speaker 39: the budget is one. Thing BUT i know that last
Speaker 39: night there was mentioned a couple of councils may mention
Speaker 39: it's in their budget speeches that obviously they're talking about
Speaker 39: the loss of provision of dog parks and public, toilets
Speaker 39: which are two main things that council probably should be.
Speaker 39: Funding the other THING i probably draw some reference to
Speaker 39: is that with the money that was used last night for,
Speaker 39: security you could probably open some libraries on A. Sunday
Speaker 39: now there are two or three libraries In wyndham that
Speaker 39: are token on The sunday, currently one of which is
Speaker 39: the Manor Achs. Library and that the cost to that
Speaker 39: is probably just under a quarter of what the of
Speaker 39: what the cost is that they're spending. For and this
Speaker 39: is for a twelve months. TRIAL i might add it's
Speaker 39: twelve it's just it's about a quarter of what they've
Speaker 39: spent what they've put through last night to private.
Speaker 2: Security so they said three hundred and seventy thousand dollars
Speaker 2: shorn just for the.
Speaker 39: Trial that's how that's my understanding of the.
Speaker 16: Numbers, YES i just don't know about.
Speaker 2: THIS i think it's the thin end of the wed
Speaker 2: chere with this council And i'd love to speak to
Speaker 2: the mayor as to why they're doing. It hopefully we'll
Speaker 2: get the mayor he or she whoever that may be
Speaker 2: In wyndham on, tomorrow BECAUSE i want to come back
Speaker 2: to it. Tomorrow do you use private security one double
Speaker 2: three six ninety three or drop us an email drive
Speaker 2: At threw dot com dot. Au because every single person
Speaker 2: that has rung into this program today has said they
Speaker 2: did not support, this and when they had the expressions
Speaker 2: of interest opened for this, trial it was overwhelmingly voted.
Speaker 2: Against so why is the council doing? It they need
Speaker 2: to come on and explain. Themselves nothing better to do
Speaker 2: on This chilli night than curl up With Wide world

Speaker 54: me to, stop but the amount of cars that see
Speaker 54: it as an invitation and they all pile, in and
Speaker 54: then all of a, sudden this trust. Tailgating and also
Speaker 54: how many drivers out there know exactly the speed that
Speaker 54: their vehicle's doing because the VEHICLE i drive master it's
Speaker 54: five kilometers, out so you, know they could think they're
Speaker 54: doing one hundred k's or whatever where they're actually doing
Speaker 54: less on the.
Speaker 7: Speed.
Speaker 2: Rob interesting, LOOK i think in this instance that we're
