This is Sydney Now with Clinton. 0:00:16.239 --> 0:00:19.760 Maynard, Thursday May twenty nine, Clinton Maynar here one three 0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:22.000 one eighty seven three is our number. If you've given 0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:24.240 up catching the train, because let's be honest, they are 0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:28.400 so unreliable in Sydney. You're better off walking. Maybe you 0:00:28.400 --> 0:00:31.160 think we'll go won't walk to work, won't walk to school, 0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:34.520 won't walk to the shops. I'll drive the car. Good, 0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:36.800 good idea. That's what I've done for the past week, 0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:38.800 although I have risked the train today. How do you 0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:41.479 find parking at the other end. We're going to talk 0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:44.199 a bit about parking on the show today because the 0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:47.120 behavior of some Sydney drivers needs to be called out. 0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:48.840 I reckon there's a lot more people on the roads 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:52.120 this week because of the train dramas, but it doesn't 0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:55.760 help when other motorists do the wrong thing when it 0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:58.320 comes to parking. Parking is so expensive in our city. 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:01.840 There's not enough spots. The drivers actually aren't helping. More 0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:04.000 on that throughout the program. Also on the show, more 0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:07.000 dramas for the Northern Beaches Hospital, this time with security. 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:09.760 I'll speak with the Health services unit about that. Magda 0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:13.120 Zebanski as we've heard has been diagnosed with cancer, a 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:15.720 rare form of lymphoma, very aggressive. 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:16.240 As well. 0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:18.440 One of our best love comedians, Peter Ford, will bring 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:20.880 us the latest this hour straight should to. David Elliott 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:23.520 joins me after four thirty. The fallaut from the decision 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:26.759 not to sell off rose Hill Gardens Racecourse. Well, David 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:28.920 has a good option of how we can increase housing 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:32.280 in this city and that's selling off Sydney's Long Bay Jail. 0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:34.760 It makes a lot of sense. Mark guy with the 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:36.760 wash up from Origin one as well. Great victory for 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:38.480 the Blues. You are my eyes and ears when it's 0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:40.920 happening in Sydney now, so text me zero force zero 0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:43.080 eight seven three eight seven three have you say one 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:53.760 three one eight seven three, Well in Sydney now, this 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:55.640 is just broken. In the last hour or so in 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:59.120 the courts in the Supreme Court, a taekwondo instructor has 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:02.520 admitted to killing a man and a woman, a couple 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:05.120 and their boy in Sydney's West. You may will have 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:08.920 recalled this horrific crime. It occurred in February last year 0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:13.400 in North Paramatta and Boukham Hills. Well today, fifty year 0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:17.200 old Kwang kuu H, who was charged back in February 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:20.600 of last year with murdering his seven year old student 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:24.600 and the boy's parents. Today in court, he has pleaded 0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:28.960 guilty to three counts of murder. The victim's families broke 0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:33.600 down in the court. The taekwondo instructor only spoke very 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:37.560 briefly via a video link. He responded yes sir and 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:40.320 bowed his head when the magistrate confirmed his guilty. 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:40.680 Please. 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:43.720 The bodies of that little boy and his mother were 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:47.280 found inside a taekwondo's studio in North Paramatta back in 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:51.160 February of last year, and then two hours later, the 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:55.040 boy's father was found dead in a townhouse in Watkins 0:02:55.120 --> 0:03:01.160 Road in Boukham Hills. Police allege the strangled the mother 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:04.880 and his son sometime between five point thirty and six 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:07.840 thirty on the nineteenth of February. He then left their 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:11.920 bodies inside the taekwondo studio. He then drove the woman's 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:15.079 BMW to the family's home at Boukham Hills and then 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:17.720 he stabbed the father to death. Well, he has pleaded guilty, 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:19.680 so we can say that now he's stabbed the father 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:24.119 to death. The following morning, he presented himself to hospital 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:30.920 with stab wounds himself. So he has pleaded guilty to 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:33.040 all those crimes. So those three murders, and it means 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:35.400 that the family of the victim won't have to sit 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:38.680 through a long and painful trial. So what happens now 0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:41.400 The matter proceeds to the Supreme Court for arrangement. The 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:44.280 guilty please will be formally entered into and then a 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:53.280 sentencing date will be said. It's ten past three. You 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:55.560 might look out the windows this afternoon and think the 0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:59.080 weather's not too bad. It's quite overcast in Sydney. Well, 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:02.080 it looks like the waterways of Sydney will be quite 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:04.880 hazardous over the next couple of days. In right across 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:07.000 the New South Wales coast from the Byron Coast, the 0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:11.000 Coft Coast, the mcquarie Coast, Hunter Coast, Sydney Coast, Illawarra Coast, 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:14.200 Bateman's Needen, there's now a hazard as surf warning. Surf 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:18.080 Life savers are particularly worried about rock fishes because there 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:20.200 are massive swells coming over the next couple of days. 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:22.360 Steve Piece is the CEO of Surf Life Saving New 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:24.880 South Wales. Thanks for joining us. Steve what's it like 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:26.000 out there at the moment. 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:29.560 Afternoon, Clinton, Well, I'm just on my wife's satirical surf 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:32.799 club of this beach. But in Sydney we've got swell 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:35.880 building that's around two meters along the Sydney beaches at 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:39.719 the moment, and that is starting to get pretty hazardous 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:43.120 for people that aren't experienced. But as you said, it's 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:46.960 the warning that's going to be over the next Friday 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:50.960 and Saturday with swell you know, up to around three meters. 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:54.800 But for the first time in many years, the term 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:58.280 deceptively powerful swell has been used by the Bureau and 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:01.200 we're just about to put out our warnings because as 0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:06.680 you said, this is really dangerous conditions for inexperienced rock 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:09.560 fishers or anyone going on rock platforms this weekend. 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:11.880 We often do read these warnings from the Weather Bureau 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.000 about has it to serve? So what is the what 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:15.440 is the difference this time? 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:20.719 Yeah, look, starting again, The difference this time is apart 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:23.680 from it's still a really large swell, it's it's the 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:27.440 timing between the swell. So this swell it's a hazard 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:30.880 as swell, but it's time that fifteen seconds between swells 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:33.359 and what that means is if a rock fisher is 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:36.120 out on the on the on the rocks fishing, they 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:39.240 see a large swell coming, you know, they will probably 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:41.599 try and do some fancy footwork to evade us well 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:44.440 and get back into safety. Then they'll go back and 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:48.560 maybe turn their back, but unbeknownst to them, fifteen seconds later, 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:52.640 another really large swell will come through. And this is 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:55.920 where we see so many people getting swept off rocks, 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:58.880 and you know, really tragically. You know, we've we've seen 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:01.800 seven rock fishers have lost their lives this year, and 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:06.000 you know, the Easter period is still scarred within the 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:08.440 psyche of many of our life service about how many 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:11.320 fatalities they had to attend over that period. 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:14.640 So effectively, the two swells are quite close together, and 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:17.760 the potential for those second ways to catch people. 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:20.080 Out it is so you know, people will think the 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:23.400 swell has gone when the wave comes up, but unbeknownst 0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:26.080 to them, in another fifteen seconds, another large swell will 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:28.400 come through, so you know, they may turn their back 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:30.279 on the water, they may go back out into that 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:34.599 dangerous position for those that aren't wearing life jackets and 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:37.200 our warnings when we put it out later today or 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:40.520 tomorrow morning, will be really emphasizing the importance of life 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:43.520 jackets for rockfishers. It's just, you know, it's just a 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:46.440 period of time where with these conditions it will present 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:50.200 some really significant dangers to people venturing out on the 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:52.320 rock platforms and rock fishing over the weekend. 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:53.960 Thanks for the warning, Thank you, Steve. 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:55.760 Thanks Clinton for broadcasting it. 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:58.080 Stu Peace from Surf Life Saving you South Wales. So 0:06:58.200 --> 0:06:59.560 not so much this afternoon, but it's going to be 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:01.320 over the next days. Would be a really big swell. 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:03.320 But it's the fact that these ways will come so 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:06.320 close together it could really catch people out, particularly if 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:07.480 you do enjoy rock fishing. 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:10.520 Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard. 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.480 If it's happening and you're sitting you'll hear it on 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:14.840 Sydney Now to. 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:19.080 GB The recount continues in the seat of Bradfield. The 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:21.800 gap has now narrowed yet again between the Liberal Gazelle 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:24.160 Capteriian and the till niko Let Bullet. It is now 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:26.680 down to two votes that we are still days and 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:29.520 days away from knowing a final result for this particular seat. 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:32.320 Despite the fact Jeselle Capteriian has been named the assistant 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:35.640 Shadow Minister for Communications, but still in a coalition. I 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:38.440 actually think I think you've got to hender for Jisinda Price. 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:40.520 Whatever you think about her, at least she says what 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:44.200 she thinks. And too many politicians are shackled by trying 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:47.000 to play the political game, of the party game, but 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:50.920 she has been She has doubled down today on comments 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:53.320 that she is disappointed about missing out on a prime 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:56.040 position within the Liberal shadow cabinet after switching from the 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:58.000 Nationals to Live She thought she was up for a 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:00.720 prominent position. We all know she wanted the dep leadership. 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:02.760 She didn't have support for that, so she backed out 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:05.400 of a vote. But she's been effectively demoted to the 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:09.520 outer ministry, the shadow Defense Industries Minister, and she has 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:12.280 now doubled down on her disappointment. Speaking with our sister 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:13.520 station for BC. 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:19.200 I am absolutely disappointed that you know, some fierce, hard working, 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:22.640 some of the toughest women that I know, who are 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:27.360 capable of fighting on behalf of Australians, who are are 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:30.680 also very intelligent in terms of that they bring about 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:35.280 can construct policy, have been sidelined with this approach. 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:37.080 Is that is very. 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:40.360 Disappointing, and I think I made it very clear you 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:44.240 and I will be honest about that position. From a 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:48.199 position where we have to be encouraging women into politics, 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:52.640 supporting women into politics, that some of our bravest, hard 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:57.880 working and significant fighters aren't going to be sitting in 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:01.920 shadow cabinet to take up the fire is a huge 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:06.120 disappointment and a huge life I think to the coalition. 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:09.480 So she's talking about conservative female MPs like Jane Hume, 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:12.000 but she's also referring to herself there, so she's not happy. 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:14.360 Look rightly or wrongly, whether you're a fan of the 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:16.400 Senate that I actually think it's a good thing when 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:18.960 we hear politicians speak from the heart, and she does 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:21.679 do that. Whether you agree with her positions on various issues, 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:25.360 whether you agree with her politics or not, she's saying 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:27.800 what she thinks. Now, if she was in shadow cabinet, 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:30.599 well she wouldn't be able to do that. There's cabinet solidarity. 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:33.320 But she's part of the outer ministry now, so we 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:35.480 may actually hear a fair bit from just Center Price 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:39.120 in the coming months. Fourteens due to face court over 0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:41.520 an incident when police were called to a service station 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:44.520 in camera. So in the Central West now we talk 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:47.720 about these incidents on an almost daily basis, and yes, 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:51.120 this is another one that involves an alleged breach of bail. 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:54.760 Police are called to the service station reports that the 0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:57.680 driver of a car did not pay. The police arrive 0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:00.280 at the survey they find a black Mercedes be Wins 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:02.600 that have alleged to be stolen from my home in 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:05.559 Cawrap over the weekend. The vehicle's then abandoned in the 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:08.760 bush well. Police begin investigating. They've arrested a seventeen year 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:11.480 old boy, but they've also arrested a fourteen year old 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:16.160 boy along with a fifteen year old two fifteen year olds. 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:19.559 Now they're all before the courts, now the fourteen year 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:21.440 old boy, and they're all facing a range of quite 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:25.240 serious charges. But the fourteen year old boy, who's been 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:28.800 charged with committing an indictible desfense goods I personal custody, 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:32.640 destroying damage property worth more than five thousand dollars, is 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:36.000 also charged with a breach of bail fourteen, the seventeen 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:39.040 year old is also charged with the breach of bail. 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:43.000 This happens time and time again. A breach of bail 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:44.760 and now the government's telling us, oh no, we are 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:46.640 getting very very tough on our bail laws. 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:50.000 If it's happening in Sydney, you'll hear it on Sydney 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:52.960 now with pointon man on to GB. 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:55.720 A recall has been issued for a particular brand of 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:59.400 electric bike, the Santa Cruz Heckler nine E bikes, which 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:02.880 have interchance changeable seven hundred and twenty what lithium ion batteries. 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:06.160 Santa Cruz is a very popular brand, particularly of skateboards, 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:10.040 but they do make some electric bikes. Now. The reason 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:13.560 the bike is being recall is a warning today from 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:17.600 the product safety officials that the battery may short circuit 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:20.240 and cause a fire. There is a risk of injuries, 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:22.240 there is a risk of damage to properties. We've seen 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:24.280 the number of house fires that have been caused not 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:27.160 just by e bikes but by batteries over particularly over 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:30.600 the past twelve months, Santa Cruz Bicycles has received four 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:34.680 reports of fires, including some property damage. So far, no 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:37.840 injuries have been reported. So if you do have one 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:39.400 of these bikes, or if your kid has one of 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:41.760 these bikes, it's a Santa Cruz Heckler nine E bike, 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:45.760 we are being urged to immediately disconnect the battery from 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:48.920 the e bike and the charger, then go to the 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:53.760 product safety website product safety dot gov dot AU. That's 0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:56.840 where all the formal recall details are. But given that 0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:59.520 Santa Cruz, the manufacturer BikeE themselves say there's been four 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:02.240 reports of fires caused by this particular e bipe, it's 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:05.000 certainly a problem now related to that. I did read 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:09.160 some quotes from the Saint Vincent's Hospital emergency specialist Dr 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:12.160 Tom Crofts in The Herald this afternoon about the dangers 0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:14.960 of e bikes. Now this is still related to the 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:18.400 same products, but not fires. This is about the dangers 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:22.280 to the riders of accidents. Dr Croft has told the 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:24.160 Herald today there's been a huge spike in the number 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.959 of presentations i e. People turning up to hospital injured 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:30.760 relating to e bike accidents, particularly over the past twelve months. 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:34.640 He says they've just increased in numbers, increased in availability 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:37.079 across city, particularly in the Eastern Soubers in their city, 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:40.800 and they're dotted around other places. He says he often 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:45.800 treats patients with lacerated spleens or livers from hand or 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:49.520 bars going into the abdomen, traumatic brain injuries from head 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:53.560 hitting the ground and broken bones. Now, the problem he 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:57.280 has identified is the trend that too many bike riders 0:12:57.280 --> 0:13:01.080 are mixing alcohol while they're riding their e bike. They 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:03.200 choose using an ee bike as an easy way to 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:05.720 get home, for instance, after a night out now, particularly 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:09.880 the ones that you can rent around the city and 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:12.480 then instead of maybe getting a cab, and thankfully people 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:15.600 aren't driving, they're riding the rent bikes back home, but 0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:21.040 they're then crashing, falling over the handlebars, sufferating lacerated livers 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:22.000 and spleens. 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:26.079 You'll want to know what's happening in Sydney, Stay tuned 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:29.120 to Sydney Out with Clinton Laynard on to. 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:33.040 Jimb We spoke to the police about their hunt for 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:35.800 a man who was wanted over the house fire in 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:39.960 Croydon of early yesterday. That fire and fortunately led to 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:42.760 the death of eighty year old Ted Grantham, who we've 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:45.120 now heard a little bit about. He was a very 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:48.440 well respected member of the community, a music teacher. Well, 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:52.360 his son has now faced court. His son Christopher was 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:55.439 arrested on the Central Coast last night. It's been a 0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:59.280 very brief court appearance today in Gosford, and he is 0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:02.839 not yet a plea. He's a fifty year old man 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:07.960 and he was discovered police alleged with a machete. His lawyer, 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:11.280 Alliance to Boodley, says, at the moment it's too early 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:14.240 to determine whether he'll actually enter a plea of guilty 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:15.040 or not guilty. 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:18.360 I'm still far too early to make those kinds of decisions. 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:21.160 This matter still has to be fully fleshed out, and 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:23.120 in time it will crystallize and we will deal with 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:26.000 it appropriately. It's just about moving forward with the process 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:28.560 and letting it all, as I said, flesh out, and 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:31.120 once the evidence is all served, then we'll clearly deal 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:31.920 with it appropriately. 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:35.960 He remains in custody. Pauline Hanson's daughter Lee has promised 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:38.920 she'll make a political comeback. Lee Hanson contested the Senate 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:41.080 in Tasmani, but she missed out on one of the 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:44.560 six seats to Jackie Lamby, and she actually had a 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:47.280 fairly good chance. She pled quite well and she's the 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:50.520 first time she's entered politics. But she has told News 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:53.400 Today that because she's had so much support, she will 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:55.800 make another attempt down the track was interesting listening to 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:59.680 Pauline Hanson during the election campaign. She insisted that putting 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:01.840 her daughter up as a candidate for one nation was 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:04.320 not a case of nepotism, and she said the proof 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:06.600 in the pudding was that she was in no way 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:09.520 would she put her sons up as a candidate for 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:12.080 one nation because she said there's nowhere need they'd be 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:28.280 capable of doing something like that. Well, the Godfather has spoken. 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:31.920 Don Farrell. I call him the Dawn. He's our trade minister, 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:34.480 and I call him the Don because he actually thinks 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:37.480 he's from the cast of the Godfather, because he when 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:40.520 he was questioned about US tariffs about a month or 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:43.000 so ago, he said he'd give Donald Trump an offer 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:46.480 he couldn't refuse. Mister Trump's not too worried about that. Well, 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:49.040 there's been significant change in the United States today. The 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:52.160 US Federal Court has actually made a decision which will 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:56.600 for the moment stop Donald Trump's so called Liberation Day tarifs. Well, 0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:59.680 mister Farrell has today responded to this. He says the 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:02.200 outBut an easy Governor's being the constant view that these 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:05.600 tariffs on Australian ports are unjustified. We will continue to 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:08.920 engage and strongly advocate for the removal of taris. The 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:11.720 alban Easy government will always stand up for Australia's national interests, 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:15.520 including Australian jobs and Australian industries. I'm sure mister Trump 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:18.200 is shaking in his boots. Let's check our news headlines 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:23.720 and good afternoon, Josh Bryance. 0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:27.400 Good afternoon, Clinton. Comedian Magna Szabanski says she's receiving world 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:31.200 class treatment in Melbourne as she reveals she's battling blood cancer. 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:35.160 Taekwondo instructor Kwang Kyong Yu has pleaded guilty to three 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:38.320 counts of murder for killing a couple and a boy 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:41.680 in Sydney's West in February last year. The Prime Minister 0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:45.280 has rubbish new analysis which claims Australia is not spending 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:48.160 enough on defense, and the Vatican has released a new 0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:52.000 series of stamps featuring Pope Leo the fourteenth. In sport, 0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:54.920 former Australian rugby seven star Nathan Lawson will make his 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:58.000 NRL debut for the Dragons tomorrow night against the Knights. 0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:00.360 The two time Olympian will line up on the wing. 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:01.600 We'll have more news and sport. 0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:03.880 It for Thank you, Josh, seventeen degrees in the CBD 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:06.800 at the moment in eeny planes, it's eighteen Let's get 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:09.240 straight to Peter Ford. This big story in the entertainment 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:12.800 world this afternoon that Magda Zibanski has confirmed via social 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:16.399 media that she is suffering cancer, a fairly aggressive form 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:18.880 of leukemia. What's the latest, Pete. 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:22.399 Well, it's not obviously, most people are hearing about it 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:24.960 in the last hour or two, but people who know 0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:28.200 Magna have known for several weeks. You may have noticed 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:30.960 if you follow her on social media she hasn't been 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:32.919 doing much for quite a while. I think she's just 0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:35.440 needed to come to terms with as herself, and she's 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:37.199 at a point now where she wanted to put it 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:40.280 out there. She was aware that various members of the 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:43.840 press knew and probably we're going to go and write it, 0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:45.679 and I think she wanted to take control of the 0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:49.360 narrative and announce it herself. So what she does have 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:54.199 is called stage four mantle cell lymphoma. Now I'm not 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:56.480 going to obviously pretend to be any kind of expert 0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:59.879 in this, but it's very serious and it's fast moving, 0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:03.359 and she is still very positive. So here's a little 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:05.480 she did a piece to camera. Now. It was a 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:08.240 bit confronting when you first see it, because she's actually 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:12.200 chosen to shave her head now in advance of probably 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:14.679 losing it in the weeks and months to come. But 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:16.879 here's a little of what Magna announced. 0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:20.840 Hello, my lovelies, A head is shaved in anticipation of 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:23.399 it all falling out in a couple of weeks. Because 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:27.520 I have just been diagnosed with a very rare, very aggressive, 0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:31.800 very serious lymphoma. It is one of the nasty ones, unfortunately, 0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:35.960 but the good thing is I'm surrounded by beautiful friends 0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:40.840 and family and an incredible medical support team. It's pretty confronting, 0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:44.040 but new treatments keep coming down the pipeline all the time. 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:45.880 So I just got a. 0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:50.440 What do you get to do? 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:51.040 What do you do? 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:52.560 What are you going to do? Anyway? 0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:56.919 Love is all by Magna. When I first heard the 0:18:56.960 --> 0:18:59.600 audio before seeing the vision, Pete, I was wondering, is 0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:02.320 was she breaking down there? No, she's actually laughing there, 0:19:02.960 --> 0:19:03.760 Yeah she is. 0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:06.560 So that in itself is a good side. Yeah, I'm 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:10.720 sure anybody who's dealing with a serious illness and ongoing treatment, 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:13.080 one of the things you can have on your side 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:15.520 that will really help you get through it is humor, 0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:20.600 and Maga's got that in bucket loads. So she so loved. 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:22.840 You know, whenever they did those Q scores of the 0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:26.439 most Loved and Trusted celebrities, she's always up there in 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:29.159 the top ten. And she gets involved in a whole 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:33.120 lot of different community causes and political causes. I don't 0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:35.959 always agree with her, but I've never once doubted her 0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:38.800 heart's in the right place. So if you're thinking about her, 0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:41.400 get a bit proactive, you know, go on to her 0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:44.359 Instagram or to her Twitter, drop her a line and 0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:46.880 say I'm thinking of you. Just in the space you'll 0:19:46.920 --> 0:19:48.960 be in a crowded room, though, because just in the 0:19:49.000 --> 0:19:51.720 space of two hours, I think she's already got about 0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:56.160 six thousand messages not exaggerating about six thousand messages on 0:19:56.160 --> 0:19:57.280 her Instagram already. 0:19:57.400 --> 0:20:00.000 Yeah, it's times on this we put politics to one style, 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:02.920 people's political opinions to one side, and she's had such 0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:06.800 a wonderful career entertaining us, making us laugh for decades. 0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:07.920 She'll have all of our. 0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:09.880 Support, exactly. 0:20:10.480 --> 0:20:15.840 Hugh Jackman has responded to Debraly Furnace's statement yes, So. 0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:19.080 Yesterday we spoke about that statement, which, as I said 0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:21.359 to you yesterday, I thought it was actually quite a 0:20:21.440 --> 0:20:25.400 calm considered statement. But the grenade was the use of 0:20:25.440 --> 0:20:28.159 the word betrayal. And of course that did become the 0:20:28.200 --> 0:20:30.520 headline as we knew it would. But I thought what 0:20:30.640 --> 0:20:34.520 Hugh did a few hours after that was really beneath him. 0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:38.440 I would like to think someone else is looking after 0:20:38.480 --> 0:20:41.600 his socials and he didn't do it or approve of it. 0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:44.560 But what he did he took some vision of him 0:20:44.600 --> 0:20:47.200 on stage a few nights ago, the show he's doing 0:20:47.200 --> 0:20:50.320 at Radio City Musical which he does this routine with 0:20:50.359 --> 0:20:54.080 a skipping rope. Pretty incredible what he's doing, and it's 0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:57.720 to the song Bye Bye Bye by in sync and 0:20:57.760 --> 0:21:00.359 he just put that up and I thought thought that 0:21:00.520 --> 0:21:04.440 was pretty to be honest, tacky and really quite beneath 0:21:04.480 --> 0:21:05.040 him to do that. 0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:06.800 Yeah, I think he's probably better than that. 0:21:06.920 --> 0:21:07.200 People. 0:21:07.200 --> 0:21:07.880 We'll talk tomorrow. 0:21:08.440 --> 0:21:10.120 Thanks Clenden Well. 0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:21.160 Street on Sydney now word on the Street. 0:21:21.600 --> 0:21:23.520 Thanks to Temper, A great nights sleep night after not 0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:25.639 the difference is Temper. If you see something around the 0:21:25.640 --> 0:21:27.360 city that we need to know about it, you can 0:21:27.359 --> 0:21:29.600 send me a message zero force zero eight seven three 0:21:29.680 --> 0:21:31.679 out seven three. If there is something you would like 0:21:31.760 --> 0:21:34.720 us to investigate, best to email me with the details. 0:21:34.720 --> 0:21:37.879 Go to our website to gb dot com. Now I 0:21:37.920 --> 0:21:40.320 won't name our listener here, but you'll recall would have 0:21:40.320 --> 0:21:42.280 been about two months ago. We spent a fair bit 0:21:42.320 --> 0:21:44.840 of time talking about buses, particularly on the North side 0:21:44.880 --> 0:21:47.280 of Sydney, and the way they're being managed by the 0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:51.040 private operators in particular bus ways, and a lot of 0:21:51.119 --> 0:21:55.040 drivers who've simply had enough and they're leaving their jobs 0:21:55.440 --> 0:21:58.600 because of the two tier wager system, because of the 0:21:58.640 --> 0:22:01.920 standard of the work conditions. Well, this is another one 0:22:01.960 --> 0:22:04.199 that just when I read this email that one of 0:22:04.200 --> 0:22:07.399 our listeners sent to me this week, just disgusted me. 0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:12.080 I'll read part of it. Our listener wants to raise 0:22:12.280 --> 0:22:16.320 serious concerns about health and safety that they'd encountered during 0:22:16.359 --> 0:22:19.600 a shift, and this is a shift just this week. 0:22:21.520 --> 0:22:23.800 She says. During this shift, I was assigned to operate 0:22:23.840 --> 0:22:28.399 a bus that had a very strong, unpleasant smell of urine. 0:22:28.600 --> 0:22:31.560 Despite my immediate concerns, I informed my line manager about 0:22:31.560 --> 0:22:34.359 the issue. I was instructed to keep driving the bus 0:22:35.320 --> 0:22:38.320 even though the relief driver refused to take the vehicle either, 0:22:38.680 --> 0:22:42.000 and the relief driver was given a fresh bus. I 0:22:42.080 --> 0:22:45.119 had to proceed past the relief point and complete the 0:22:45.160 --> 0:22:49.240 trip in this contaminated bus. The smell was so overwhelming 0:22:49.760 --> 0:22:53.280 I became physically sick. I was gagging. I was forced 0:22:53.280 --> 0:22:57.159 to endure this situation of unacceptable discomfort. The smell was 0:22:57.320 --> 0:23:02.080 so bad I began to smell urine myself. It's distressing 0:23:02.760 --> 0:23:05.720 and it's unacceptable from a health and a safety perspective, 0:23:06.640 --> 0:23:10.040 this incident represents a significant workplace health and safety concern. 0:23:10.119 --> 0:23:12.280 No employee should be subjected to such conditions, and I 0:23:12.320 --> 0:23:16.280 believe it's imperative that the company which is Busways reviews 0:23:16.280 --> 0:23:19.080 and improves their procedures to ensure that vehicles are properly 0:23:19.080 --> 0:23:23.360 maintained and sanitized before assigned to drivers. And I'll keep 0:23:23.400 --> 0:23:26.399 our listener anonymous. At this point, that's disgusting. I mean, 0:23:26.640 --> 0:23:29.000 how a bus gets to that point where it stinks 0:23:29.000 --> 0:23:31.760 of urine, Well, I'll leave it up to your imagination. 0:23:32.400 --> 0:23:34.399 And the passengers who are responsible for that, well they 0:23:34.400 --> 0:23:37.280 should hang their heads in chain. But the company itself, well, 0:23:37.320 --> 0:23:39.720 they should have a program with the buses cleaned before 0:23:39.720 --> 0:23:42.439 another driver takes over. We've spoken to Busways off there 0:23:42.480 --> 0:23:45.040 that provided us with a statement. They've said, thank you 0:23:45.080 --> 0:23:48.920 for highlighting this. We absolutely recognize the impact anxious odor 0:23:48.960 --> 0:23:50.440 and a bus can have on the driver and others 0:23:50.440 --> 0:23:53.199 on board, and we take these matters seriously. This is 0:23:53.240 --> 0:23:57.520 covered in our protocol, these sharps and biohazardous material handling procedure. 0:23:58.000 --> 0:24:00.560 Drivers are trained to call the operational Control Center via 0:24:00.600 --> 0:24:02.320 their two way radios if they have a concern of 0:24:02.320 --> 0:24:04.920 a noxious over or a bio has it or otherwise. 0:24:05.320 --> 0:24:08.720 Our OCC team then checks in, immediately assesses the severity 0:24:08.720 --> 0:24:11.080 of the situation, and if the vehicle is deemed unfit 0:24:11.119 --> 0:24:13.280 for service, a change of a bus is dispatched. The 0:24:13.359 --> 0:24:15.720 driver also has complete discretion to determine whether it is 0:24:15.760 --> 0:24:18.200 safe to proceed to a change the location based on 0:24:18.240 --> 0:24:21.360 the severity of the situation. Busways takes this very seriously 0:24:21.400 --> 0:24:23.960 and will investigate this matter. Well, I'm glad they'll investigate 0:24:23.960 --> 0:24:26.119 this matter because they say the driver also has this 0:24:26.359 --> 0:24:30.800 complete discretion whether it's safe to proceed. Well, no, in 0:24:30.840 --> 0:24:34.159 this case, the manager told the driver keep driving the 0:24:34.200 --> 0:24:37.320 stinky bus now. Look, I might seem minor. But just 0:24:37.480 --> 0:24:40.520 imagine being trapped in a bus that smells like that. 0:24:41.080 --> 0:24:43.080 I mean, firstly, the passengers who do that sort of 0:24:43.119 --> 0:24:46.520 thing feed in. Can we this is twenty twenty five. 0:24:46.520 --> 0:24:50.400 We're supposedly a modern society. But bus ways themselves they 0:24:50.440 --> 0:24:53.760 should also do better. And yep, I appreciate that they're 0:24:53.760 --> 0:24:56.000 going to investigate this particular incident. But it's all well 0:24:56.040 --> 0:24:59.320 and good having the shops and bio hazardous material handling 0:24:59.359 --> 0:25:02.399 procede Johanna book. But just the reality is that the 0:25:02.400 --> 0:25:04.480 bus drop rings says, hey, this bus has got to 0:25:04.480 --> 0:25:07.160 be cleaned and clean now just do something about it. 0:25:07.320 --> 0:25:09.600 This just in from the Weather Bureau. They have issued 0:25:09.680 --> 0:25:12.520 a warning for minor flooding along the Warrior River. Now 0:25:12.720 --> 0:25:15.719 this could occur late tonight Warrenor a bridge. You know, 0:25:15.760 --> 0:25:18.760 Warrenor is obviously very low lying. The Bureau tells us 0:25:18.760 --> 0:25:21.280 the river at Warrenora Bridge it's currently at zero point 0:25:21.280 --> 0:25:24.760 two two meters and falling with the tide, but it 0:25:24.840 --> 0:25:27.520 may reach the minor flood level on high tide, which 0:25:27.560 --> 0:25:30.679 is late this evening. So some lovely homes down there 0:25:30.680 --> 0:25:33.440 at Wronora these days, right on lit river. I had 0:25:33.480 --> 0:25:36.159 friends who actually lived on the river back when I 0:25:36.200 --> 0:25:38.360 was in school and we went to Janelle Boys which 0:25:38.400 --> 0:25:40.199 is just up from Warronora, and they actually had to 0:25:40.280 --> 0:25:42.679 use boats to get out there to get the bus. 0:25:43.119 --> 0:25:45.200 You may need a boat late tonight. Look only minor 0:25:45.200 --> 0:25:47.480 flooding at this stage, but just be warned that could 0:25:47.520 --> 0:25:54.720 be an issued late tonight. Seven three. We often talk 0:25:54.760 --> 0:25:57.920 about bad councils and silly decisions they make on this show, 0:25:57.920 --> 0:25:59.800 and rightly so, because there are too many of them. 0:26:00.520 --> 0:26:02.680 I think there are too many councils. I think we'd 0:26:02.680 --> 0:26:04.520 be better off, and I've said this before with two 0:26:04.600 --> 0:26:07.320 levels of government. Have the state government just take over 0:26:07.320 --> 0:26:09.960 the responsibilities of local councils. Now, it'll never happen because 0:26:10.000 --> 0:26:13.360 you remember the hullabaloo when Mike Baird merged councils years ago. 0:26:13.400 --> 0:26:16.080 Now that was a complete and utter stuff up. But 0:26:16.160 --> 0:26:18.879 as a result we've got a lot of incompetent local councils. 0:26:18.960 --> 0:26:22.560 This may well be another one Penrith Council. I had 0:26:22.600 --> 0:26:24.399 an email as part of our word on the Streets 0:26:24.440 --> 0:26:26.960 segment from Andrew and of course you can tip me 0:26:27.000 --> 0:26:29.480 off to issues via our website to gb dot com. 0:26:30.000 --> 0:26:34.480 Andrew says. I'm a resident in Londonderry and on Thursday 0:26:34.920 --> 0:26:37.680 just gone. So last week I took action to unblock 0:26:38.000 --> 0:26:40.760 a rural council drain on our road, which was eighty 0:26:40.760 --> 0:26:44.560 percent blocked. Penrick City Council came out on Friday and 0:26:44.600 --> 0:26:46.919 they told me they'll be sending me a bill for 0:26:46.960 --> 0:26:50.280 the cleanup of debris that I removed from their drain 0:26:50.960 --> 0:26:54.359 to allow stormwater the flow. They also said New South 0:26:54.359 --> 0:26:57.399 Wales Police might charge me with operating my bobcat on 0:26:57.440 --> 0:27:01.560 a public road. Our road was flooded inundated one of 0:27:01.600 --> 0:27:04.359 the residents' homes on three occasions. Seeing the road was 0:27:04.400 --> 0:27:07.040 being submerged on Thursday, I tried to do what I 0:27:07.040 --> 0:27:09.800 could to save properties and do the work the council 0:27:09.840 --> 0:27:11.679 was responsible for. So just just cast your mind back 0:27:11.680 --> 0:27:13.399 to late last week. Of course we had the flooding 0:27:13.440 --> 0:27:15.920 on the mid North Coast and the Hunter Valley, but 0:27:15.960 --> 0:27:20.840 the rain here Thursday to Friday was absolutely horrendous. So 0:27:20.920 --> 0:27:24.880 you know, all over Sydney there were stormwater drains completely overflowing, 0:27:25.560 --> 0:27:28.040 packed with garbage. Because we have authorities who don't seem 0:27:28.040 --> 0:27:29.720 to be able to manage stormwater drains well, this was 0:27:29.760 --> 0:27:32.840 another case in Penrith. So Andrew's trying to do the 0:27:32.880 --> 0:27:35.880 right thing and help the people living in street because 0:27:35.880 --> 0:27:38.760 he happens to own a Bobcat. Andrew wrote, I'm a 0:27:38.800 --> 0:27:41.480 retired Army officer with years of experience in protecting life 0:27:41.480 --> 0:27:44.640 and property. I did what I thought was required. Well, 0:27:44.680 --> 0:27:47.160 we put this to Penrith City Council today they say 0:27:47.160 --> 0:27:52.080 they're going to get back to us. Andrew joins us. Andrew, firstly, 0:27:52.320 --> 0:27:54.639 good on you for thinking about your neighbors. 0:27:55.160 --> 0:27:56.680 Hi clanking, Good afternoon, mate. 0:27:56.680 --> 0:27:57.879 That's what we do out here, you know. 0:27:57.880 --> 0:28:00.240 We help our davis out in time of trouble. And 0:28:00.880 --> 0:28:03.440 this poor resident across the road. Her place has been 0:28:03.480 --> 0:28:07.320 inundated by stormwater three time. In fact, one occasion was 0:28:07.560 --> 0:28:11.000 she literally replaced the carpet that afternoon. The carpet layer 0:28:11.040 --> 0:28:12.960 hadn't even backed out of the driveway and her place 0:28:13.080 --> 0:28:16.240 was inundated again that afternoon. I mean shooting tears. It's 0:28:16.240 --> 0:28:16.680 not fair. 0:28:16.840 --> 0:28:19.280 So you happened to own a Bobcat. You've worked in 0:28:19.280 --> 0:28:21.600 the Army, so you know how to use equipment like that. 0:28:22.200 --> 0:28:24.600 My parents owned the Bobcat. I'm fully licensed to drive 0:28:24.640 --> 0:28:27.440 and operate the vehicle, and they could be a paint 0:28:27.440 --> 0:28:29.280 in the butt. Sometimes you'll bobcats. 0:28:28.840 --> 0:28:31.160 Because they were quite a lot of maintenance, but they're. 0:28:31.040 --> 0:28:34.719 Very effective when you need them to move large amounts 0:28:34.720 --> 0:28:36.320 of debris or dirt or whatever it is you go 0:28:36.400 --> 0:28:36.600 to do. 0:28:36.760 --> 0:28:37.800 So what did you do? 0:28:38.880 --> 0:28:41.720 But I basically I walked down and observed the drain 0:28:41.800 --> 0:28:44.400 that we've had plenty of history with and we've notified 0:28:44.400 --> 0:28:47.080 Cancel on numerous occasions they've come out and inspected it. 0:28:47.400 --> 0:28:48.840 I went down and had to look at it, and 0:28:48.880 --> 0:28:51.120 it was just backing up. It was blocked with debris 0:28:51.160 --> 0:28:53.760 and dirt, and I ran back up in the gum 0:28:53.800 --> 0:28:57.040 boots because the flight of the road was flooding and 0:28:57.680 --> 0:29:01.120 there were minutes to spare before again water inundated my 0:29:01.160 --> 0:29:03.680 neighbor's home. So I started the Bobcat up, drove down 0:29:03.880 --> 0:29:06.920 and used the Bobcat to remove the debris in a 0:29:06.960 --> 0:29:09.920 safe manner. I placed the debris off to the side 0:29:09.920 --> 0:29:13.120 of the road and I unblocked the drain effective immediately 0:29:13.360 --> 0:29:16.280 the water started running properly, and the great news was 0:29:16.480 --> 0:29:19.960 our neighbor's place for the first time didn't flood after 0:29:20.360 --> 0:29:23.880 a storm event like that. Unfortunately, I returned and our 0:29:23.920 --> 0:29:24.720 house had flooded. 0:29:25.680 --> 0:29:26.720 Sorry to hear that, Andrew, and. 0:29:27.280 --> 0:29:28.720 The first time in thirty six years. 0:29:29.840 --> 0:29:30.880 Is bad damage for you. 0:29:32.080 --> 0:29:34.520 At the moment. I think the initial assessment yesterday from 0:29:34.520 --> 0:29:36.680 the assessor from the insurance was at around about forty 0:29:36.720 --> 0:29:39.640 five to fie. So all the plasta has got to 0:29:39.640 --> 0:29:40.960 be cut out of devastating. 0:29:41.040 --> 0:29:42.840 So you're helping a neighbors, So then tell me what 0:29:42.880 --> 0:29:43.920 happened with Penrith counsel. 0:29:44.760 --> 0:29:47.440 Well, I was ritually pulling out the carpet. The next day, 0:29:47.520 --> 0:29:50.720 Friday morning, I had underlay and you know, pulling out 0:29:50.720 --> 0:29:54.200 the bleak carpet, and council arrived on our doorstep and 0:29:54.720 --> 0:29:58.240 stated basically that they were waiting for wingsor police to 0:29:58.280 --> 0:29:59.880 attend the scene, that I was going to be charged 0:29:59.880 --> 0:30:03.120 with operating the bob pat that wasn't registered on a 0:30:03.120 --> 0:30:05.880 public road. And I said so, but maybe that was 0:30:05.920 --> 0:30:09.080 the case. This was an emergency situation. I had minutes 0:30:09.120 --> 0:30:12.880 to react. I acted in a safe manner and achieved 0:30:12.920 --> 0:30:14.840 the mission which I had to to help the bloody neighbor. 0:30:15.640 --> 0:30:17.440 And if they feel that way, go ahead and do it. 0:30:17.480 --> 0:30:20.240 I really don't care. I'd do it in a heartbeat 0:30:20.240 --> 0:30:22.480 again tomorrow if it means helping out our neighbors or 0:30:22.720 --> 0:30:23.920 protecting lifeful properties. 0:30:24.720 --> 0:30:26.520 At this point, have you been issued with charges? 0:30:27.640 --> 0:30:30.480 I haven't. No. The funny thing was I guess that 0:30:30.800 --> 0:30:34.800 the police obviously have common sense paracity. Council's executive team don't. 0:30:35.760 --> 0:30:37.920 And this fellow that come down said that we're also 0:30:37.960 --> 0:30:40.200 going to send you the cleanup bill for the dirt debris. 0:30:40.320 --> 0:30:44.160 I mean, let's be reminded, this was council's drained. It 0:30:44.280 --> 0:30:46.840 was their obligation and they're in charge of it. So 0:30:47.400 --> 0:30:50.040 if anyone has not done their job, it's bloody council. 0:30:50.360 --> 0:30:52.680 So don't point the finger at me. That's not fair. 0:30:52.720 --> 0:30:54.280 Now you don't have the bill for that yet, do 0:30:54.320 --> 0:30:55.160 you not yet? 0:30:55.160 --> 0:30:55.760 I'm waiting for it. 0:30:55.760 --> 0:30:57.280 I mean I've been sitting here waiting for the last 0:30:57.320 --> 0:30:59.600 few days anticipating are the police going to turn up 0:31:00.040 --> 0:31:00.640 all this strength? 0:31:00.680 --> 0:31:02.760 Andrew, You're not paying a bill. You are not paying 0:31:02.760 --> 0:31:06.360 a bill. We are in contact with Penrith City Council offair. 0:31:06.560 --> 0:31:10.040 They're investigating the case. But let me assure you if 0:31:10.120 --> 0:31:11.800 you get that bill, don't pay. And we will lead 0:31:11.800 --> 0:31:14.120 a campaign because all of our listeners will be on 0:31:14.160 --> 0:31:17.400 your side. This is outrageous because we know what it 0:31:17.440 --> 0:31:19.400 was like all around Sydney last week with that heavy 0:31:19.480 --> 0:31:23.200 rain on Friday morning, the rain on Thursday. Half of 0:31:23.200 --> 0:31:25.760 the reason we've got these drains that overflow and can't 0:31:25.840 --> 0:31:28.760 cope with a sudden downpour is because these councils don't 0:31:28.760 --> 0:31:30.640 do their job and keep these drains clear. 0:31:31.240 --> 0:31:33.160 And Clinton, it wasn't as though we didn't have warning 0:31:33.200 --> 0:31:33.640 with this one. 0:31:33.760 --> 0:31:36.800 I mean we talked about the rain all week before it. 0:31:36.800 --> 0:31:39.160 Actually I felt like I felt like I was being 0:31:39.200 --> 0:31:40.720 silly talking about all we're gonna get heavy rain. I 0:31:40.760 --> 0:31:42.920 kept saying it day after day. The rain didn't arrive. 0:31:42.960 --> 0:31:44.320 It finally did late week. 0:31:44.400 --> 0:31:46.320 I remember hearing that Mate on your show, and it 0:31:46.400 --> 0:31:48.600 was like, you know, was anticipating it, so there's plenty 0:31:48.640 --> 0:31:50.480 of time for them to conduct a quick sweep. It 0:31:50.520 --> 0:31:52.600 took me eight minutes to clear the day, to clear 0:31:52.600 --> 0:31:54.400 the drain that afternoon, eight minutes. 0:31:54.600 --> 0:31:57.080 Well, Andrews, look, can you keep in contact with us 0:31:57.120 --> 0:31:59.560 if you get this bill, please contact me straight away. 0:32:00.160 --> 0:32:02.720 We are talking to Penrith council affair. I would be 0:32:02.840 --> 0:32:05.680 stunned if they don't back down from this and we 0:32:05.680 --> 0:32:08.720 will public shame them if they don't. Andrew, thank you 0:32:08.720 --> 0:32:12.520 for letting me know about that, because it is outrageous. 0:32:12.960 --> 0:32:15.800 I always whenever there's deep rain, I often will say 0:32:15.880 --> 0:32:19.200 during my programs, Sydney doesn't cope with wet weather. That's 0:32:19.320 --> 0:32:21.440 the reason. That's part of the reason, because we have 0:32:21.480 --> 0:32:25.840 a stormwater drain that firstly is not well maintained, and 0:32:25.840 --> 0:32:28.120 it's often the local councils that have that maintenance issue. 0:32:28.160 --> 0:32:30.640 But we also have a very old network that's crumbling. 0:32:31.560 --> 0:32:33.680 And then that's why we have flash flooding in our 0:32:33.720 --> 0:32:36.520 streets on major roads because the councils and the other 0:32:36.560 --> 0:32:38.600 authorities aren't doing the right thing. And then to think, 0:32:38.640 --> 0:32:42.480 you've got this council that they want to find him 0:32:42.720 --> 0:32:44.680 for removing the rubbish from the drain and then putting 0:32:44.680 --> 0:32:45.760 on the side of the road so they should then 0:32:45.760 --> 0:32:46.920 be able to kick pick it up. They want to 0:32:46.960 --> 0:32:48.920 find him for that and then threaten to bring the 0:32:48.920 --> 0:32:52.600 cops around because he was driving a bobcat for ten 0:32:52.640 --> 0:32:56.840 minutes or so. Seriously, as Mark says on the text line, 0:32:56.880 --> 0:32:59.880 here old mate is Andrew, he should be giving Penrith 0:33:00.040 --> 0:33:02.480 counsel of the bill for what he did. Now last night, 0:33:03.000 --> 0:33:05.600 I had no idea this happened. You know, like most 0:33:05.600 --> 0:33:07.719 of us at the moment, there's a lot of wet, 0:33:08.000 --> 0:33:11.200 damp property around. So I arrived home, I would have 0:33:11.240 --> 0:33:14.080 been just after seven o'clock and I noticed there are 0:33:14.120 --> 0:33:16.200 all these emergency crews outside the front of my house. 0:33:17.280 --> 0:33:19.880 Now I think they were Sydney Water, or maybe they 0:33:19.880 --> 0:33:22.640 were contractors for Sydney Water, and there was there was 0:33:22.680 --> 0:33:26.640 this huge spurt of water near my letterbox. Well, it 0:33:26.680 --> 0:33:30.600 turns out they'd been there all afternoon. An old drain, 0:33:30.880 --> 0:33:33.560 an old pipe in my next door neighbor's front yard 0:33:33.640 --> 0:33:35.880 or just out sectually in the council strip had burst. 0:33:36.120 --> 0:33:38.120 So of course the burst, big burst water mate, and 0:33:38.160 --> 0:33:40.640 there's water flying right down the street through our front yard, 0:33:40.800 --> 0:33:43.320 no dramas, And these fellows had a chat to them. 0:33:43.480 --> 0:33:46.400 They'd been working there for hours trying to secure the 0:33:46.440 --> 0:33:48.640 property next door. They're going to be without water for 0:33:48.680 --> 0:33:51.320 something like six weeks. And I said to my dear, 0:33:51.320 --> 0:33:53.000 I hope you're going to get home for origin. And 0:33:53.040 --> 0:33:55.840 they wrapped up just about quarter past seven. But that 0:33:55.960 --> 0:33:57.840 was an example of where we have a really old 0:33:57.880 --> 0:34:01.160 pipe network that's not coping well doesn't then cope well 0:34:01.160 --> 0:34:04.320 with heavy rain. So there's an argument that we in 0:34:04.400 --> 0:34:07.560 Sydney Water put an application into IPART to dramatically increase 0:34:07.640 --> 0:34:11.480 water rates so they could embark on a program of 0:34:11.560 --> 0:34:14.400 upgrading pipes. Now water rates will be going up by 0:34:14.400 --> 0:34:17.240 more than inflation, but IPART, the regulator, has not approved 0:34:17.280 --> 0:34:19.960 the same increase that they actually wanted. But hopefully that 0:34:20.000 --> 0:34:23.040 doesn't mean the pipes won't be upgraded. We need upgraded pipes. 0:34:23.400 --> 0:34:25.920 But it's another matter entirely when we have local councils 0:34:25.920 --> 0:34:28.720 and the other authorities that are responsible for our drains 0:34:28.800 --> 0:34:31.440 not cleaning them out properly. If you've had that experience 0:34:31.640 --> 0:34:34.440 in your neighborhood with burst water mains, with drains that 0:34:34.480 --> 0:34:37.520 are overflowing, let us know about it and let's shame 0:34:37.560 --> 0:34:40.759 those local councils. As we're hearing the M four is 0:34:40.800 --> 0:34:43.200 a mess, Dave the bus driver says, join the M 0:34:43.239 --> 0:34:45.520 four at Homebush because it is a car park. With 0:34:45.680 --> 0:34:49.719 this help, Michael Schumacher's Ferrari from two thousand and one 0:34:49.960 --> 0:34:53.960 has sold at an auction the Southeby's Auction for twenty 0:34:53.960 --> 0:34:57.360 four point eight five million dollars. It has broken the 0:34:57.400 --> 0:35:00.080 previous record for a Shoemaker F one car, which a 0:35:00.400 --> 0:35:02.560 two thousand and three edition. So this is his Ferrari 0:35:02.960 --> 0:35:04.920 that he won the Monaco Grand Prix back in two 0:35:04.920 --> 0:35:08.360 thousand and one fifteen million, nine hundred and eighty euro 0:35:08.520 --> 0:35:11.520 which is worth twenty four point eighty five million. It 0:35:11.560 --> 0:35:13.360 won't help if you're on the M four. It is 0:35:13.400 --> 0:35:15.080 not going to help you. You've got a Ferrari, You're 0:35:15.080 --> 0:35:17.040 not going to get anywhere fast enough. I've got a 0:35:17.120 --> 0:35:20.680 stack of complaints here about local councils and burst water 0:35:20.800 --> 0:35:23.480 mains and blocked up drains. Davis in ingerte and get 0:35:23.520 --> 0:35:23.879 a Dave. 0:35:25.600 --> 0:35:27.360 Hey, gooday mate, I love your show. 0:35:27.440 --> 0:35:27.839 Thanks one. 0:35:29.239 --> 0:35:32.120 Look, I was walking the dog just up on Port 0:35:32.160 --> 0:35:35.520 Hacking Road just by chance. Was I think three thirty 0:35:35.560 --> 0:35:38.080 one or three point thirty three something like that. It 0:35:38.160 --> 0:35:41.120 was back in April. I took there's this program by 0:35:41.160 --> 0:35:44.239 Sidney Water says snap and shoot or snap and send, 0:35:44.280 --> 0:35:46.759 so you take a snapshot out send it for their thing. 0:35:47.320 --> 0:35:48.000 It had been. 0:35:47.920 --> 0:35:51.360 Reported like seven days before. Apparently they said it normally 0:35:51.400 --> 0:35:54.799 takes three to seven business days to repair. About six 0:35:54.840 --> 0:35:57.880 weeks later, I'm still looking at the same bloody gallons 0:35:57.880 --> 0:36:00.479 and gallons a second going down the Garta. My heart 0:36:00.600 --> 0:36:03.600 just broke after six weeks and no attention to it 0:36:03.640 --> 0:36:05.640 at all, and I just thought, you know what, these 0:36:05.640 --> 0:36:07.760 guys aren't serious about fixing waterweeks. 0:36:07.760 --> 0:36:08.680 Surely look in. 0:36:08.640 --> 0:36:10.600 The end, these local councils probably don't have enough money 0:36:10.640 --> 0:36:12.920 to fix despite their rates, to fix these waterlinks. But 0:36:12.960 --> 0:36:15.360 it's a flood risk. It's a danger in our streets. 0:36:15.560 --> 0:36:19.080 Sorry to hear that, Dave and the shy Danielle, Hello Danielle. 0:36:18.880 --> 0:36:24.520 Hi Clinton? How are you good? How dare sorry really cranky? 0:36:24.800 --> 0:36:28.760 How dare counsel try to intimidate this wonderful man who's 0:36:28.960 --> 0:36:32.440 like helped save his neighbor native home. Do you get 0:36:32.480 --> 0:36:36.480 a good d Maybe we should start sending councilor bills 0:36:36.520 --> 0:36:39.520 every time we move the nature strip on our brother. 0:36:39.800 --> 0:36:41.799 Absolutely, as some of our listeners have said on the 0:36:41.800 --> 0:36:43.920 text line, he should be the one sending them the 0:36:44.000 --> 0:36:46.879 bill for the cleanup. It is outrageous. Well, we've put 0:36:46.880 --> 0:36:48.920 this to Penrith City Council. We are going to demand 0:36:48.960 --> 0:36:50.000 a response tomorrow. 0:36:52.760 --> 0:36:55.840 This is Sydney Now with Clinton man. 0:36:56.320 --> 0:36:59.200 On to g seven past four, Little dark and gloomy 0:36:59.239 --> 0:37:02.320 across Sydney Sobs this afternoon. There is the slight chance 0:37:02.400 --> 0:37:04.319 of a shower thisce evening. Good by tomorrow morning it 0:37:04.320 --> 0:37:07.520 should be sunny and at this stage, at this early stage, 0:37:07.520 --> 0:37:09.520 if we can trust the weather Bureau, it should be 0:37:09.520 --> 0:37:11.680 a fine and sunny weekend, which is looking good. 0:37:11.960 --> 0:37:12.279 No good. 0:37:12.320 --> 0:37:14.080 If you're on the M four at the moment, very 0:37:14.200 --> 0:37:17.839 very slow, particularly around James Frew's Drive. Vehicles are only 0:37:17.880 --> 0:37:20.759 doing about twelve kilometers at the moment. A truck has 0:37:20.840 --> 0:37:24.040 run over a ladder in Kingswood on the fourth that 0:37:24.120 --> 0:37:26.600 the truck's being moved to the breakdown lane. There are 0:37:26.640 --> 0:37:30.719 no injuries, but the traffic is just horrendous. Now I've 0:37:30.719 --> 0:37:34.080 got the latest information from the AEC in the recount 0:37:34.120 --> 0:37:37.239 and Bradfield Gazel capteriian up against Nicolett Bullet. I actually 0:37:37.320 --> 0:37:40.200 reckon what they should do job share? Why don't they 0:37:40.280 --> 0:37:42.960 just call it today? Think? Look, you know what we 0:37:43.040 --> 0:37:45.239 only wanted to want to work part time anyway. I 0:37:45.280 --> 0:37:48.040 know Gizelle's got the big news. Shadow Assistant Ministry rolled 0:37:48.080 --> 0:37:51.440 down there with the Libs. Job share call a draw. 0:37:52.080 --> 0:37:56.200 I reckon they'll both do a good job anyway. Gzel Capteririum. 0:37:56.640 --> 0:37:58.799 Based on the current re figures and there I think 0:37:58.840 --> 0:38:02.320 they're about halfway through through now she is two votes 0:38:02.360 --> 0:38:06.480 ahead of the Teal nicolete Bullet. I don't think they 0:38:06.480 --> 0:38:09.320 can call another recount if this doesn't go in favor 0:38:09.360 --> 0:38:13.360 of one of the two. Thank goodness, the AEC didn't 0:38:13.360 --> 0:38:15.560 have any role in state of origin last night. Imagine 0:38:15.560 --> 0:38:19.400 if the AEC was working in the bunker making rulings. 0:38:19.840 --> 0:38:24.680 We'll be there forever. Look, I think what's going on 0:38:24.840 --> 0:38:28.800 actually in Bradfield's a bit laughable because what the scrutiny 0:38:28.880 --> 0:38:30.279 is on the ground are dealing with is a lot 0:38:30.320 --> 0:38:32.680 of informal votes. And this has been a trend to 0:38:32.719 --> 0:38:35.840 cross much of the country. There's been a big spike 0:38:35.880 --> 0:38:38.719 in the number of people voting informally. Now for some 0:38:38.760 --> 0:38:40.960 of those people that would have been a deliberate act, 0:38:41.440 --> 0:38:46.200 but for many it's a complete accident. I'm hearing in 0:38:46.239 --> 0:38:49.799 this seat in particular, there are significant votes and this 0:38:49.920 --> 0:38:54.000 is for both these candidates, where the person who intends 0:38:54.040 --> 0:38:57.480 to vote for either Nicolette Bullet or Gisel Capteririan hasn't 0:38:57.560 --> 0:39:03.359 numbered every box, maybe most of them, but not one 0:39:03.440 --> 0:39:06.440 or two. At the bottom and then that vote is 0:39:06.640 --> 0:39:09.319 formally can't be counted. It's not part of it. 0:39:09.560 --> 0:39:09.719 Now. 0:39:09.760 --> 0:39:12.120 They're the rules, that's they're the rules that we play by, 0:39:12.600 --> 0:39:18.200 and we do need to respect our democratic rule. But 0:39:19.080 --> 0:39:21.960 isn't it time to change that? Isn't it time to 0:39:22.080 --> 0:39:25.319 change the way we run preferential voting. I'm actually not 0:39:25.360 --> 0:39:27.680 saying get rid of preferential voting, but what we should 0:39:27.760 --> 0:39:30.919 do is have an optional system that if somebody wants 0:39:30.960 --> 0:39:34.440 to number just three of the boxes that that's okay. 0:39:34.880 --> 0:39:37.200 In New South Wales, you can just put a one 0:39:37.239 --> 0:39:38.600 in the box for the person you want to vote 0:39:38.600 --> 0:39:39.680 for it. That's the way it should be at a 0:39:39.719 --> 0:39:41.640 federal and a state level. What it would do is 0:39:41.680 --> 0:39:45.200 it would avoid confusion between both levels of government. And 0:39:45.239 --> 0:39:47.680 maybe that's part of why there's been a massive jump 0:39:47.760 --> 0:39:50.120 in the number of informal votes because we only had 0:39:50.120 --> 0:39:52.560 a state election a couple of years ago. Since the 0:39:52.600 --> 0:39:55.680 twenty twenty two federal election, the number of informal votes 0:39:55.719 --> 0:39:58.640 has tripled. There's been a massive jump, and The Herald's 0:39:58.640 --> 0:40:01.120 been reporting on this one throughout the week. In informal 0:40:01.200 --> 0:40:04.200 votes from hospitals and age care homes in the seat 0:40:04.200 --> 0:40:08.680 of Barra so near Bradfield. One hospital team recorded a 0:40:08.719 --> 0:40:11.879 seventy percent increase in informal votes and that can make 0:40:11.880 --> 0:40:13.800 a difference. That can make a difference in a seat 0:40:13.880 --> 0:40:17.919 like Bradfield. Now, when I voted back at the start 0:40:17.960 --> 0:40:20.160 of the May, there was a lady standing next to 0:40:20.200 --> 0:40:22.600 me and she actually asked me for some help because 0:40:22.600 --> 0:40:25.480 she wasn't sure I directed her and what she actually 0:40:25.560 --> 0:40:28.920 need to do. But we can fix it. It's not that hard. 0:40:29.280 --> 0:40:31.719 Can't we just make voting as simple as possible. I mean, 0:40:31.719 --> 0:40:34.600 there's an argument that you don't understand what the system 0:40:34.719 --> 0:40:37.600 is too bad and fine, but given there's been this 0:40:37.680 --> 0:40:41.680 massive increase in informal votes, surely the most democratic way 0:40:41.719 --> 0:40:44.600 to run this system would be to have of preferential 0:40:44.680 --> 0:40:47.359 voting but optional optional. If you just want to put 0:40:47.360 --> 0:40:49.960 a one in the box, that's fine, and you know what, 0:40:50.120 --> 0:40:53.480 allow a tick or a cross as well? Why not 0:40:54.320 --> 0:40:56.759 if it's clear who the person is voting for, why 0:40:56.800 --> 0:40:59.560 not allow it? And then maybe we wouldn't go through 0:40:59.560 --> 0:41:02.120 this long drawn out process with the AEC trying to 0:41:02.120 --> 0:41:05.719 figure out who's actually won this damn seat. We're just 0:41:05.800 --> 0:41:08.239 fortunate we haven't had other seats that this close as well, 0:41:08.719 --> 0:41:10.480 or we probably wouldn't even have a prime minister at 0:41:10.480 --> 0:41:10.840 the moment. 0:41:12.680 --> 0:41:17.560 This is Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard on until six. 0:41:17.880 --> 0:41:21.200 This is Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard on two GB 0:41:21.719 --> 0:41:22.640 call now one. 0:41:22.480 --> 0:41:24.120 To three, one seven three. 0:41:24.880 --> 0:41:26.000 Do you got a view on that? You can send 0:41:26.000 --> 0:41:28.080 me a text message zero four six zero eight seven 0:41:28.080 --> 0:41:30.239 three eight seven three. And I know usually when I 0:41:30.320 --> 0:41:32.440 mentioned this, so many people say to me, you know what, 0:41:32.719 --> 0:41:34.920 let's just get rid of preferential voting first past the 0:41:34.920 --> 0:41:39.160 post and in our country, preferential voting probably does favor 0:41:39.160 --> 0:41:41.839 the left wing parties, but over things can change over time. 0:41:42.200 --> 0:41:45.200 In the UK, a lot of Conservative voters because they 0:41:45.200 --> 0:41:48.120 have first passed the post and because Nigel Faraja's party 0:41:48.160 --> 0:41:50.279 did very well at the last election, a lot of 0:41:50.320 --> 0:41:53.279 Conservative voters are calling for preferential voting there because they 0:41:53.280 --> 0:41:55.200 feel they would have done better in the last election. 0:41:55.360 --> 0:41:57.960 So things do change over time. If you've got a 0:41:58.040 --> 0:41:59.480 view on that, let me know one three one eight 0:41:59.480 --> 0:42:07.640 seven three. Look, as you know, I think it is 0:42:07.760 --> 0:42:11.799 ridiculous that a private company operates the public facilities of 0:42:11.840 --> 0:42:14.600 a hospital. And I'm referring to health Scope, which has 0:42:14.640 --> 0:42:17.200 become an embarrassment in the way they've been operating the 0:42:17.200 --> 0:42:20.439 Northern Beaches Hospital. Now, as you know, Healthscope this week 0:42:20.520 --> 0:42:23.560 placed in receivership. We know the government is moving to 0:42:23.640 --> 0:42:26.279 ensure this doesn't happen again. They are in negotiations with 0:42:26.360 --> 0:42:29.040 health Scope to take control of the public aspects of 0:42:29.080 --> 0:42:32.279 the Northern Beaches Hospital. But we're finding more examples on 0:42:32.320 --> 0:42:34.719 a daily basis of how this has just been a 0:42:34.760 --> 0:42:38.839 complete stuffer. Now there is a parliamentary inquiry into how 0:42:38.880 --> 0:42:41.719 this hospital has been run and in evidence that's been 0:42:41.800 --> 0:42:44.640 tended to the inquiry from the HSU, the Health Services Union, 0:42:44.880 --> 0:42:48.360 more startling revelations about how this hospital has been running. 0:42:48.400 --> 0:42:50.600 Jared Hayes is the boss of the HSU. Today Jared, 0:42:52.400 --> 0:42:54.279 I'm just I was going to say I was going 0:42:54.360 --> 0:42:57.440 to be disturbed by this, but nothing is now surprising 0:42:57.440 --> 0:42:59.840 me about the way Healthscope has been running this hospital. 0:43:00.280 --> 0:43:04.640 Revelations that they have effectively downgraded security well compared with 0:43:04.680 --> 0:43:08.320 public hospitals and as a result staff at the hospital 0:43:08.320 --> 0:43:11.759 have not been secure little and the patients absolutely. 0:43:11.800 --> 0:43:14.239 We can see this in many different aspects and the 0:43:14.320 --> 0:43:18.160 fundamentally goes to the point that private public partnerships may 0:43:18.200 --> 0:43:20.319 work in some areas, they don't work in health. Whether 0:43:20.320 --> 0:43:24.640 there's a competing interest between service delivery and profit margins, 0:43:25.080 --> 0:43:30.080 and we just see consistently, whether it's security, cleaning, a 0:43:30.160 --> 0:43:34.920 high range of other clinical services are cut back or 0:43:35.040 --> 0:43:37.480 contracted to the point that it's quite dangerous. 0:43:37.719 --> 0:43:40.880 There's been forty serious security incidents in just six months, 0:43:40.880 --> 0:43:43.719 and this followed the decision by the hospital management to 0:43:43.760 --> 0:43:45.720 reduce total security numbers. 0:43:46.560 --> 0:43:49.200 That's right, and we all know in this day and 0:43:49.280 --> 0:43:54.080 age that society is becoming sadly more volatile. So you 0:43:54.120 --> 0:43:56.719 see a hospital or hospital like this is a microcosm 0:43:56.760 --> 0:44:00.280 of the community. And our response to that is actually, 0:44:00.280 --> 0:44:03.719 we will decrease our safety measures and decrease our security 0:44:03.719 --> 0:44:06.960 measures and hope for the best. And unfortunately now it's 0:44:07.000 --> 0:44:08.080 in the receivership coming. 0:44:08.360 --> 0:44:11.560 You represent so many staff who work in hospitals, beyond 0:44:11.640 --> 0:44:13.400 just the doctors and the nurses, all the other staff, 0:44:13.400 --> 0:44:17.000 the cleaners, the security guards, the orderlies. They are and 0:44:17.120 --> 0:44:19.200 this I think is a sad reflection on society. They 0:44:19.239 --> 0:44:21.960 do put themselves at risk. We're dealing with patients. It 0:44:21.960 --> 0:44:24.120 doesn't help it. The hospital itself doesn't protect. 0:44:23.840 --> 0:44:31.360 Them absolutely true, and security members and also our awards people, 0:44:31.560 --> 0:44:35.040 and we've had people shot, stabbed and spat at consistently. 0:44:35.840 --> 0:44:38.319 These matters have been highlighted over and over again. We've 0:44:38.360 --> 0:44:41.200 had the Andersen renu now probably about five years ago, 0:44:42.160 --> 0:44:44.719 and to get to the point of where we're just 0:44:44.760 --> 0:44:47.160 going to cut back just doesn't even make sense. But 0:44:47.200 --> 0:44:50.360 it does make sense when you're drowning financially, that business 0:44:50.400 --> 0:44:52.840 isn't working and it's actually not being able to deliver 0:44:53.160 --> 0:44:54.960 what the people in New South Wales need in terms 0:44:55.000 --> 0:44:55.600 of healthcare. 0:44:55.880 --> 0:44:57.799 It's good that this is now making it's in the 0:44:57.800 --> 0:45:01.440 public spotlight and really think to the masses and the 0:45:01.520 --> 0:45:04.200 tragedy they've suffered. But when you have in the last 0:45:04.200 --> 0:45:06.640 eighteen months, when you have spoken to hospital management about 0:45:06.640 --> 0:45:10.080 cutbacks to security, what has their response been to you, Oh. 0:45:10.040 --> 0:45:12.480 It's just like talking to a brick wall. It's while 0:45:12.480 --> 0:45:15.480 we're doing everything we can with what we have, we're satisfied, 0:45:15.520 --> 0:45:17.799 we're in the reason of opposition. Well may not know. 0:45:17.880 --> 0:45:19.880 You have a look at it. They're renting some of 0:45:19.920 --> 0:45:23.880 their materney areas out to a film company as an 0:45:23.880 --> 0:45:28.320 incomes train, so not utilizing it for the Materney Needs. 0:45:28.880 --> 0:45:31.359 We'll use it as a backdrop for a movie, and 0:45:31.680 --> 0:45:35.480 that just shows the desperation in my view of about 0:45:35.480 --> 0:45:37.680 how they're trying to make any dollar that they can. 0:45:37.800 --> 0:45:40.000 Look, we know the government is now in negotiations with 0:45:40.080 --> 0:45:42.560 health Scope and they're obviously in receivership now, but this 0:45:42.640 --> 0:45:45.799 still may the negotiation may drag out months, if not 0:45:46.239 --> 0:45:49.280 a year. How do we get through, say the next 0:45:49.360 --> 0:45:51.680 year of health stare continuing to operate this hospital. 0:45:52.360 --> 0:45:54.880 This is going to be a very very significant issue, 0:45:54.920 --> 0:45:57.839 and I don't think the committee understands is well enough 0:45:57.880 --> 0:46:01.560 at the moment. So the private setting is very important 0:46:01.840 --> 0:46:05.320 for people who can afford. That takes pressure off the 0:46:05.360 --> 0:46:08.719 public hospital system. Now, if they can't get buyers or 0:46:08.719 --> 0:46:11.840 they can't get the right buyers to not only the 0:46:11.960 --> 0:46:15.680 Northern Beaches Hospital but a range of other big facilities 0:46:16.320 --> 0:46:21.160 and regional facilities, this could then push private patients into 0:46:21.200 --> 0:46:26.120 public hospitals as well. So the crisis in health becomes 0:46:26.600 --> 0:46:29.760 two fild threefold due to the fact that the private 0:46:29.800 --> 0:46:31.160 sector can't pull its way. 0:46:31.360 --> 0:46:33.400 So on the one hand, you've got the news southwise 0:46:33.440 --> 0:46:36.400 government negotiating with health Scope. What's left a Healthscope on 0:46:36.480 --> 0:46:39.480 the public facilities, but the fact that given healthscopes in receivership, 0:46:39.520 --> 0:46:42.440 all the private facilities, which is say half of the 0:46:42.480 --> 0:46:44.600 Northern Major's Hospital and all the other hospitals they operate 0:46:44.640 --> 0:46:45.960 around the country, they're at risk. 0:46:46.960 --> 0:46:49.960 Very much, so very much, and I would think without 0:46:50.000 --> 0:46:52.920 being able to sort of preempt anything, receivers would be 0:46:52.960 --> 0:46:56.000 looking at finding buyers, of which there are not a 0:46:56.040 --> 0:47:02.200 lot of big private private hospital facilities around and so 0:47:02.239 --> 0:47:05.120 it gets to the point of if if some hospitals 0:47:05.120 --> 0:47:09.440 aren't profitable and if they're not big enough, well maybe 0:47:09.560 --> 0:47:12.000 it's going to be taken and that I think would 0:47:12.040 --> 0:47:14.600 be really reflective in regional areas of this South Wales. 0:47:14.719 --> 0:47:16.080 I think we're learning a lot of lessons out of 0:47:16.080 --> 0:47:18.560 this whole bungle deal over the last few years. But 0:47:18.560 --> 0:47:19.959 what we've got to do is ensure that it doesn't 0:47:19.960 --> 0:47:22.120 happen again. I know the government's got the legislation before 0:47:22.120 --> 0:47:24.520 Parliament that needs to pass, but we need to make 0:47:24.520 --> 0:47:25.880 sure we get through the next couple of years on 0:47:25.920 --> 0:47:29.200 this one. Thank you, Jared, Thanks very much, Jared Hayes 0:47:29.200 --> 0:47:31.800 from the HSU until six. 0:47:32.120 --> 0:47:35.560 This is Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard on two GB 0:47:35.960 --> 0:47:38.359 call now one to three one seven three. 0:47:39.280 --> 0:47:41.600 Personally, I think it's really simple. The private sector has 0:47:41.600 --> 0:47:45.160 a big role in our health network. Absolutely, private hospitals, 0:47:45.160 --> 0:47:47.640 and I had elective surgery late last year, fortunately in 0:47:47.640 --> 0:47:50.120 a private hospital because I have private insurance. But when 0:47:50.120 --> 0:47:53.680 it comes to emergency facilities, it should be the responsibility 0:47:53.680 --> 0:47:56.080 of the government. Now, David, think if your message David says, 0:47:56.239 --> 0:47:58.520 how does the transfer of Northern Beaches Hospital the governor 0:47:58.520 --> 0:48:02.920 Omanship necessarily improve our comes Orange hospitals overall capacity? We 0:48:02.960 --> 0:48:06.400 wore hospital closes overnight, Blacktown Campbelltown have had problems. 0:48:06.480 --> 0:48:06.640 Yeah. 0:48:06.680 --> 0:48:08.919 No, and that's a fair point, David. I appreciate that. 0:48:08.960 --> 0:48:12.560 But the bottom line for any private business is to 0:48:13.000 --> 0:48:17.000 make profit to maximize shareholder value, So they're always going 0:48:17.040 --> 0:48:19.800 to look for the cheapest way to do things, no question. 0:48:19.920 --> 0:48:22.000 And yes, governments aren't very good at running things and 0:48:22.000 --> 0:48:25.520 managing money either. But when it comes down to emergency services, 0:48:25.920 --> 0:48:28.400 part of the issue within the Northern Beaches Hospital, for instance, 0:48:28.520 --> 0:48:31.960 is they bought the cheapest possible computer network the software 0:48:32.000 --> 0:48:35.040 system that's led to problems when it comes to triache 0:48:35.200 --> 0:48:38.239 in the emergency department. Now, if the government's running that 0:48:39.520 --> 0:48:42.680 a good government shouldn't be trying to do that work 0:48:42.760 --> 0:48:45.759 at the cheapest possible cost. And in my opinion, that's 0:48:45.800 --> 0:48:48.560 why when it comes to emergency, that's where the government 0:48:48.840 --> 0:48:50.960 us as a society should be funding that and funding 0:48:51.000 --> 0:48:54.080 that properly. Now, I agree we need improvement at Orange Hospital. 0:48:54.239 --> 0:48:57.440 We wore shouldn't be closing overnight, Blacktown and Campbelltown hospitals 0:48:57.600 --> 0:48:59.840 yet they've got problems. But while ever, you've got a 0:49:00.040 --> 0:49:03.200 rivate business operating these services, they're going to try and 0:49:03.239 --> 0:49:06.319 do the right thing by their shareholders. That's their primary responsibility. 0:49:06.320 --> 0:49:10.239 Their primary responsibility is actually not the patient, it's their shareholders. 0:49:10.400 --> 0:49:13.360 And whileever that's the motivation, you're going to see Corners 0:49:13.360 --> 0:49:16.359 cut positive day on the share market. The ASX two 0:49:16.400 --> 0:49:19.200 hundred is closed up twelve point nine points eighty four 0:49:19.320 --> 0:49:22.080 hundred and nine. The Comnwealth Today Bank Today has announced 0:49:22.080 --> 0:49:25.560 they're cutting their fixed interest rates. So already following the 0:49:25.680 --> 0:49:29.239 RBA decision, variable rates are changing, but fixed rates from 0:49:29.280 --> 0:49:32.000 tomorrow will be cut by point four of one percent 0:49:32.400 --> 0:49:35.360 across all fixed terms. As a result of the change 0:49:35.400 --> 0:49:37.719 is the Combank's new lowest fixed rate for a home 0:49:37.760 --> 0:49:40.440 loan for three years will be five point four to 0:49:40.560 --> 0:49:44.160 nine percent. Now that's an indication that they believe the 0:49:44.239 --> 0:49:46.759 RBA will be cutting their variable rates again in the 0:49:46.800 --> 0:49:47.640 next couple of months. 0:49:48.040 --> 0:49:51.680 You're listening to Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard on two 0:49:51.840 --> 0:49:54.960 GB col now one three to one, page seven three. 0:49:55.000 --> 0:49:57.000 Word on the street for temper, A great night's sleep, 0:49:57.120 --> 0:49:59.320 night after night. The difference is temper. This one from Vincent. 0:49:59.360 --> 0:50:03.080 The text line the extraction fans on the exits heading 0:50:03.080 --> 0:50:06.200 northbound to Dremoine doesn't look like they're working. The tunnel's 0:50:06.239 --> 0:50:09.439 become quite smoky. We've just been in contract with trans Urban. 0:50:09.520 --> 0:50:13.239 Transurban obviously operates the motorway. They're going to look into 0:50:13.239 --> 0:50:15.680 it for us right now. But obviously if there's some 0:50:15.760 --> 0:50:18.719 smoke and some pollution inside the tunnel because the extraction 0:50:18.880 --> 0:50:21.440 fans not working, well, that ain't good. So trans Urban 0:50:21.520 --> 0:50:24.560 is going to have a look into that. Preferential voting. Now, 0:50:24.600 --> 0:50:26.120 I know many of you think we should just have 0:50:26.200 --> 0:50:28.440 first past the post, but I think at a minimum, 0:50:28.480 --> 0:50:30.880 at least an optional system is the way to go. 0:50:31.000 --> 0:50:34.840 What do you think, Nick, Yes, Sir Clinton, we should 0:50:34.840 --> 0:50:38.839 definitely have optional preferential but I now will get it 0:50:39.320 --> 0:50:44.960 especially in the federal sphere because the ALP desperately need 0:50:45.040 --> 0:50:48.880 all those preferences from the Greens and other parties to 0:50:48.960 --> 0:50:50.800 keep the new power, so they. 0:50:50.680 --> 0:50:53.840 Definitely won't agree to it. And if you recall that 0:50:54.000 --> 0:50:57.960 actually happened, what happened in Queensland. They I think up 0:50:58.040 --> 0:51:03.600 until Palachet got in in twenty fifteen they had optional 0:51:03.600 --> 0:51:07.080 preferential and then she changed it back to full preferential. 0:51:07.280 --> 0:51:10.400 That's right, But the reality is though political trends do 0:51:10.520 --> 0:51:12.600 change over time, and as I was explaining in the UK, 0:51:13.160 --> 0:51:16.120 the Conservatives believe they missed out on votes because Nigel 0:51:16.160 --> 0:51:19.360 Faraja's party became so popular, so things could change for 0:51:19.800 --> 0:51:21.719 the left at some time as well. Hey, thanks for 0:51:21.719 --> 0:51:23.920 your curl Nick. This one from Daniel. Now, what we 0:51:23.920 --> 0:51:26.040 need is an education program, but you're not going to 0:51:26.040 --> 0:51:28.319 get any help from the government on education when it 0:51:28.320 --> 0:51:30.560 comes to voting because it's not in their best interests. 0:51:30.960 --> 0:51:32.880 I need your opinion on this one. I've been doing 0:51:32.960 --> 0:51:35.160 a bit of thinking about transporting New South Wales this 0:51:35.200 --> 0:51:38.240 week because the trains, as we've been reporting on almost daily, 0:51:38.520 --> 0:51:40.880 have been an absolute mess. I can report good news. 0:51:41.719 --> 0:51:43.560 It doesn't look like there are significant delays in the 0:51:43.560 --> 0:51:46.439 train lines this afternoon. But don't fret. It's only twenty 0:51:46.520 --> 0:51:48.680 six past fourth. There's still plenty of time for everything 0:51:48.719 --> 0:51:50.640 to go wrong, and we'll tell you about it. But 0:51:50.760 --> 0:51:52.600 at the moment, the trains are running on time. It's 0:51:52.640 --> 0:51:55.680 all good that that control is in control. But the 0:51:55.719 --> 0:51:58.000 reality is a lot of people this week have decided 0:51:58.040 --> 0:52:01.279 they're going to drive instead of user train. I've done that. 0:52:01.360 --> 0:52:03.000 I caught the train the day, but that's the first 0:52:03.040 --> 0:52:04.520 time I caught the train this week because I didn't 0:52:04.520 --> 0:52:06.759 have the guts to catch the train. And then when 0:52:06.800 --> 0:52:09.239 you drive, you've got the problem of finding parking at 0:52:09.239 --> 0:52:13.160 your destination, and we have fewer parking spots in our city. 0:52:13.320 --> 0:52:15.520 If you are in the CBD, it's expensive. Well, let's 0:52:15.560 --> 0:52:18.200 be honest. There are so many areas now that charge 0:52:18.239 --> 0:52:21.560 significant amounts for parking. It's a problem. But we also 0:52:21.600 --> 0:52:24.160 have a problem I reckon with the way other motorists 0:52:24.280 --> 0:52:28.120 abuse parking spots. Now, if you come across this, I'd 0:52:28.160 --> 0:52:29.799 lot to hear from you. One three one eight seventy 0:52:29.880 --> 0:52:34.280 three parking in your street? Do you find cars taking 0:52:34.360 --> 0:52:38.280 up two spots deliberately taking up two spots? My producer 0:52:38.280 --> 0:52:42.200 Emily has had this dilemma. Someone parked their car outside 0:52:42.200 --> 0:52:44.120 of a house and they put a full sale sign 0:52:44.160 --> 0:52:48.360 on it, but they parked across two spots, in between 0:52:48.760 --> 0:52:52.760 two homes, between two driveways, so there one vehicle takes 0:52:52.840 --> 0:52:55.880 up a spot where you could easily fit too. Now 0:52:56.160 --> 0:52:59.360 it's not considerate, is it. It's a crowded space. Across 0:52:59.440 --> 0:53:02.360 most of his subjurbs are very crowded, the spots are scarce. 0:53:02.719 --> 0:53:05.279 Emily actually sent the driver a text message because they're 0:53:05.280 --> 0:53:07.880 selling the car, so the number is on the windscreen, 0:53:08.320 --> 0:53:10.520 and ask them could they just maybe kindly move, not 0:53:10.560 --> 0:53:13.960 taking the car away for their little sale, No moving 0:53:14.000 --> 0:53:17.560 the car forward or backward so another vehicle can fit there. 0:53:18.040 --> 0:53:21.399 And the seller replied, oh, quote, I'm aware the car 0:53:21.440 --> 0:53:23.879 is parked on a public road with no restrictions, which 0:53:23.920 --> 0:53:28.400 means it's available to everyone, first come, first serve. Public 0:53:28.440 --> 0:53:32.200 space isn't reserved seating. I appreciate your understanding. That's from 0:53:32.200 --> 0:53:34.480 the driver of the car who's selling the car, but 0:53:34.560 --> 0:53:38.880 that's not Emily's point. The point is drivers should be 0:53:38.920 --> 0:53:41.680 considered to each other when parking, because we are so 0:53:41.719 --> 0:53:43.840 short of parking in the city So if there's a 0:53:43.840 --> 0:53:46.480 spot that fits two cars, don't park right in the 0:53:46.520 --> 0:53:49.319 middle of it. Do you come across that situation in 0:53:49.360 --> 0:53:53.200 your suburit let me know, one seven three. Maybe you 0:53:53.239 --> 0:53:55.840 think the seller's right that there is no restriction there, 0:53:56.480 --> 0:53:59.040 that the person can park wherever they want. Now Northern 0:53:59.080 --> 0:54:01.360 Beach's council have been contact with him about the four sails. 0:54:01.400 --> 0:54:03.680 Should I say, yep, that's the lad You can park 0:54:03.760 --> 0:54:06.600 a full sail, put a car with a four sile 0:54:06.640 --> 0:54:09.719 sign on it anyway you like. Basically, but parking in 0:54:09.800 --> 0:54:13.680 two spots when you ruin it doesn't pass the pub test. 0:54:14.200 --> 0:54:16.000 But when we're gonna have more people because we can't 0:54:16.000 --> 0:54:18.560 rely on trains, trying to park in the streets, it's 0:54:18.640 --> 0:54:20.839 just wrong and all it takes is just a bit 0:54:20.880 --> 0:54:21.920 of common courtesy. 0:54:22.120 --> 0:54:24.680 Hey, you're doing my space, George. 0:54:24.680 --> 0:54:26.000 Wait, you don't know who this guy is. 0:54:26.040 --> 0:54:27.920 People kill for a parking space in this city. 0:54:28.360 --> 0:54:32.120 He's not getting away with George. I think I'm parking 0:54:32.160 --> 0:54:32.600 my car. 0:54:32.840 --> 0:54:35.160 You can't do that. You can't just sneak in from 0:54:35.200 --> 0:54:38.160 the back like that. I'm not sneaking. I hadn't even 0:54:38.200 --> 0:54:39.759 know you were parking. You were just sitting there three 0:54:39.800 --> 0:54:40.479 spaces off. 0:54:40.640 --> 0:54:42.680 What if you didn't think I was parking, why did you. 0:54:42.600 --> 0:54:43.560 Put it in head first? 0:54:43.560 --> 0:54:46.240 Well, that's the way I park anyway. 0:54:46.280 --> 0:54:47.759 You didn't stop backing until I called in. 0:54:48.120 --> 0:54:49.799 I was in the middle of a conversation. 0:54:50.040 --> 0:54:51.560 Hey, buddy, what can I tell you? 0:54:51.960 --> 0:54:54.120 The point is I was here first. I was closer 0:54:54.160 --> 0:54:54.319 to this. 0:54:54.320 --> 0:54:55.160 Space than you were. 0:54:55.320 --> 0:54:58.120 But I'm backing and you can't put it in head first. 0:54:58.160 --> 0:54:58.759 I can't if I. 0:55:00.160 --> 0:55:02.799 I know in Seinfeld, you're opening up a Pandora's box 0:55:02.880 --> 0:55:05.200 by talking about parking. But I want to hear your experience. 0:55:05.239 --> 0:55:11.000 One three one eight seventy three and we're the latest 0:55:11.040 --> 0:55:12.880 Jock Fright. Good afternoon, Clinton. 0:55:12.920 --> 0:55:15.080 A man accused of killing his father in a house 0:55:15.120 --> 0:55:17.879 fire at Croydon has made no application for bail. When 0:55:17.920 --> 0:55:21.040 facing court for the first time, Christopher David Grantham charged 0:55:21.080 --> 0:55:25.320 with domestic violence, murder and other offenses. Australian comedy legend 0:55:25.360 --> 0:55:28.760 Magna Shabanski says she's in good spirits as she reveals 0:55:28.800 --> 0:55:32.359 she's battling stage four blood cancer. The Premier says he's 0:55:32.400 --> 0:55:35.239 working with the federal government to shore up financial assistance 0:55:35.239 --> 0:55:39.080 for flood affected Communities. Grant's being made available from tomorrow. 0:55:39.200 --> 0:55:42.280 Adam Man has been rescued by firefighters after getting stuck 0:55:42.280 --> 0:55:45.200 in the mud for about twenty minutes in Sydney's West. 0:55:45.440 --> 0:55:47.719 In Sport, the Blues women's team looking to claim the 0:55:47.760 --> 0:55:50.719 first ever series clean sweep in the women's origin with 0:55:50.840 --> 0:55:52.120 a victory over Queensland. 0:55:52.120 --> 0:55:52.440 Tonight. 0:55:52.520 --> 0:55:53.919 We'll have more news and sported five. 0:55:54.000 --> 0:55:56.320 Thank you, Josh. Seventeen degrees in the city. It's fifteen 0:55:56.320 --> 0:55:59.120 degrees in Campbelltown. David Elliott coming up with straight shooters 0:55:59.160 --> 0:56:01.719 in a few minutes. Sharon, on the issue of parking, says, 0:56:01.719 --> 0:56:04.000 a family home in our street is now rented to 0:56:04.080 --> 0:56:07.080 five tradees and some backpackers as well. There can be 0:56:07.120 --> 0:56:09.360 six to seven cars and trucks and they don't seem 0:56:09.400 --> 0:56:11.720 to give a rats about anyone or any other people 0:56:11.719 --> 0:56:14.359 in the street of longtime residents. Let's come to some 0:56:14.440 --> 0:56:18.120 calls about parking issues. Irene Hallow, Irene. 0:56:18.080 --> 0:56:19.320 Good afternoon, Clinton. 0:56:19.880 --> 0:56:21.120 Do you have dramas in your street? 0:56:21.960 --> 0:56:26.040 Yes, I have all we're all villas, so each between 0:56:26.120 --> 0:56:28.799 needs to drive away of the villas. You've got room 0:56:28.840 --> 0:56:31.480 for two cars. We got sick and tired of everyone 0:56:31.560 --> 0:56:33.920 parking in the middle. So we went out one night 0:56:33.960 --> 0:56:36.480 and we've put a white line out to the width 0:56:36.480 --> 0:56:38.680 of a car. Okay, and you know they all park 0:56:38.719 --> 0:56:40.359 on both sides now, But. 0:56:40.360 --> 0:56:41.160 That makes sense. 0:56:41.760 --> 0:56:43.960 I don't know why the council can't do us come 0:56:44.000 --> 0:56:46.000 along and put all the white lines out. We've been 0:56:46.040 --> 0:56:48.640 asked by other people, would we do it? Well we haven't. 0:56:48.960 --> 0:56:51.000 That's smart. I just I hope the council, given our 0:56:51.040 --> 0:56:53.879 experience with Penrith Council and neighbors who do the right 0:56:53.920 --> 0:56:56.560 thing by their fellow neighbors, I hope the council doesn't 0:56:56.600 --> 0:56:58.359 come around and maybe rub the lines off. Hek good 0:56:58.400 --> 0:57:01.160 idea Irene. Sean is listening to us in sinn Dives. 0:57:01.200 --> 0:57:05.200 Hello Sean, Hi Clinton here going good my friend. 0:57:05.280 --> 0:57:07.759 I've just got a cheeky response for him and with craps. Yes, 0:57:07.840 --> 0:57:10.320 she could get one of her friends that range a 0:57:10.400 --> 0:57:13.040 test drive and then she could go and park her car. 0:57:13.080 --> 0:57:14.520 Then when they come back to the car park, are 0:57:14.520 --> 0:57:16.800 we taken again? Cheacky on over? 0:57:17.520 --> 0:57:19.600 Very smart. She could even just arrange a test drive 0:57:19.760 --> 0:57:23.120 and move the car forward maybe two meters. It's not 0:57:23.200 --> 0:57:26.120 even the issue of a car being placed there for sale. 0:57:26.160 --> 0:57:28.400 It's the fact it's over to parking spots. It just 0:57:28.440 --> 0:57:33.040 shows a complete disregard for other people. Grant's in Robertson, Hello, Grant, 0:57:34.200 --> 0:57:37.280 are you going Clinton. I'm good, my friend, that's good. 0:57:37.960 --> 0:57:40.440 Yeah, it's disrespectful what you said. But there's an easy 0:57:40.480 --> 0:57:43.960 solution for Is it your colleague who's parked. 0:57:43.680 --> 0:57:44.880 Outside her house, Emily? 0:57:45.160 --> 0:57:45.440 Yes. 0:57:46.080 --> 0:57:48.600 All you got to do is put a Facebook marketplace 0:57:48.640 --> 0:57:52.400 that up, take a picture of the car outside her house, yep, 0:57:53.240 --> 0:57:57.919 phone number very visible, and put free free car per serve. 0:57:58.960 --> 0:58:02.440 And after they get bombarded with thousands of messages, he's 0:58:02.520 --> 0:58:03.920 going to come and move the car and you can 0:58:03.960 --> 0:58:04.680 take the ad down. 0:58:05.160 --> 0:58:08.280 Good idea, Grant, think eavianly, I'll probably do that. This 0:58:08.440 --> 0:58:10.760 one from Rod regarding the parking, Look what I find 0:58:10.800 --> 0:58:14.800 it's a combination of humanity and situational awareness, similar to 0:58:14.840 --> 0:58:17.760 slamming car doors at six o'clock on a Sunday morning 0:58:18.360 --> 0:58:22.120 or eating a pasta at mass Ah. Yes, mister Bowen 0:58:22.320 --> 0:58:24.680 talking about that. We'll look at that issue when David 0:58:24.680 --> 0:58:26.880 Elliott joins me in a couple of minutes. There is 0:58:26.920 --> 0:58:29.360 a bit of tension in mcquarie Street right now in 0:58:29.400 --> 0:58:31.680 the Upper House. The leader of the Government in the 0:58:31.760 --> 0:58:35.600 Upper House, Penny Sharp, has been formally censured this afternoon. 0:58:35.640 --> 0:58:38.480 There has been a vote and it's gone against miss 0:58:38.560 --> 0:58:43.360 Sharp twenty yes, fourteen No's in favor of a censure motion. Now, 0:58:43.520 --> 0:58:46.880 this is over an order for papers from the Premier's 0:58:46.880 --> 0:58:49.760 office and a failure to comply with this order apparently 0:58:49.800 --> 0:58:53.560 related to local small Commitments allocation. So it's about grants 0:58:54.440 --> 0:58:58.720 and look effectively, what happens in parliament there are various 0:58:58.760 --> 0:59:02.600 the opposition parties, the cross Bench, they put forward it's 0:59:02.640 --> 0:59:07.200 called an fifty two and it's seeking paperwork on various 0:59:07.200 --> 0:59:09.960 controversial issues, and there is a responsibility to the government 0:59:10.120 --> 0:59:12.320 to provide in the public service provide that paperwork. Well, 0:59:12.320 --> 0:59:14.960 apparently when it comes to the local small Commitments allocation, 0:59:15.560 --> 0:59:18.280 the Opposition isn't satisfied that the government's complied with this 0:59:18.440 --> 0:59:20.480 order for papers. So as a result they have then 0:59:20.560 --> 0:59:24.280 launched a CeNSE emotion and the government has lost that. 0:59:24.320 --> 0:59:27.240 So Penny Sharp has been formally censured in the Upper House. 0:59:28.680 --> 0:59:34.840 On Sydney, Now, you can't handle the truth the straight sts. 0:59:36.400 --> 0:59:37.960 Well, if I'm a member of Stay partment, of course 0:59:38.080 --> 0:59:40.200 is mustracts here on Thursday afternoon day. But Ellie, hello, 0:59:40.280 --> 0:59:44.720 David pat does a sense emotion actually really mean anything? 0:59:45.040 --> 0:59:47.000 And it comes down to it, that's embarrassing. 0:59:47.080 --> 0:59:51.040 But SA fifty two are the opposition's best warfare. And 0:59:51.280 --> 0:59:53.680 I mean I had them every day I then I 0:59:53.720 --> 0:59:56.160 had I had my own my own locker down there 0:59:56.200 --> 0:59:58.880 at the SA fifty two processing plan. I was getting 0:59:58.880 --> 1:00:01.600 them so often. But it's been embarrassing and that, of 1:00:01.600 --> 1:00:05.840 course they can use that to then springboard other discipline 1:00:05.880 --> 1:00:07.160 reaction against Penny Sharp. 1:00:07.720 --> 1:00:09.520 But it's a bit of a slap on a risk though, 1:00:09.560 --> 1:00:10.320 isn't a sense of motion? 1:00:10.520 --> 1:00:12.720 Yeah, it's like a motion and no confidence amenda. She 1:00:12.760 --> 1:00:14.880 doesn't have to resign or anything, but not unless she 1:00:14.960 --> 1:00:18.000 was the premier. But it does highlight the fact that 1:00:18.880 --> 1:00:21.280 the concerns that were floating around Macquarie Street twelve months 1:00:21.280 --> 1:00:25.320 ago that Ben Franklin going to the presidency would mean 1:00:25.320 --> 1:00:27.640 that they couldn't get any sense of motions ORLA fifty 1:00:27.640 --> 1:00:30.440 two through. That's obviously not correct and it's clear that 1:00:30.480 --> 1:00:33.400 the Cross benches are not going to necessarily play ball 1:00:33.440 --> 1:00:33.920 with the government. 1:00:34.040 --> 1:00:36.360 Well, it's quite a clear vote there. It's twenty in 1:00:36.400 --> 1:00:38.560 favor of fourteen against of course the government doesn't hold 1:00:38.600 --> 1:00:39.600 the numbers in the upper house. 1:00:39.640 --> 1:00:43.160 That's right, and it would be and Penny would be 1:00:43.160 --> 1:00:45.439 furious that the Greens have sided with the Liberal Party 1:00:45.440 --> 1:00:46.640 over that one. I'm quite sure. 1:00:46.680 --> 1:00:48.440 And this is where you don't have a premier censured 1:00:48.480 --> 1:00:50.840 will be very rare because what they do have for 1:00:51.000 --> 1:00:52.800 a minority in the lower House, but they have the 1:00:52.840 --> 1:00:54.200 support of the Independence. 1:00:53.760 --> 1:00:55.960 So that's right and that only really, I mean a 1:00:56.040 --> 1:00:58.560 central motion is embarrassing in the Premier would probably have 1:00:58.600 --> 1:01:00.800 to explain to the governor why he's has confidence in 1:01:00.800 --> 1:01:03.280 the house if had happened to Chris Mins. But I 1:01:03.280 --> 1:01:04.320 don't think that's going to happen. 1:01:04.400 --> 1:01:05.960 No, No, it looks the big political issue of the 1:01:05.960 --> 1:01:08.960 weekend in state politics has been the failure of the 1:01:09.000 --> 1:01:14.080 ATC to sell off rose Hill attract majority support. And 1:01:14.120 --> 1:01:16.640 we thought this was going to happen. But it's not 1:01:16.680 --> 1:01:18.400 great for Chris Mins because he'd been very much a 1:01:18.440 --> 1:01:19.240 support of this plan. 1:01:19.600 --> 1:01:22.440 He has and it's back to the drawing board. But 1:01:22.720 --> 1:01:24.600 he always gave himself a little I felt he always 1:01:24.600 --> 1:01:26.400 gave himself a little bit of wiggle room. I know 1:01:26.520 --> 1:01:29.760 my side of Politics thinks that it's humiliating for him, 1:01:29.760 --> 1:01:30.240 but I think. 1:01:30.080 --> 1:01:30.760 He gave himself. 1:01:30.840 --> 1:01:32.760 But it's just as he said, he's got a plan 1:01:32.840 --> 1:01:34.600 being he needs to go to that plan. Being as 1:01:34.640 --> 1:01:36.800 I said when I was Minister for Corrections, I don't 1:01:36.840 --> 1:01:39.320 know why there are prisoners living at Long Bay Jail. 1:01:39.600 --> 1:01:44.040 I don't know why people convicted felons are at waterfront 1:01:44.040 --> 1:01:45.680 real estate. So if he wants to look anywhere, and 1:01:45.720 --> 1:01:48.040 I saw some dribble today in the media about oh, 1:01:48.080 --> 1:01:50.960 but there's no other site within twenty kilometers of Sydney, 1:01:51.080 --> 1:01:53.360 Well there is. It's called Long Bay Jail, and Bob 1:01:53.400 --> 1:01:55.240 Carr looked at getting rid of it when he was 1:01:55.280 --> 1:01:57.240 premier and they were going to give it over to 1:01:57.280 --> 1:01:59.480 the Disney Corporation, which I thought would have been great. 1:01:59.520 --> 1:02:02.280 But there's been a little bit of work done by 1:02:02.280 --> 1:02:04.680 Corrections to look at Long bea Jalen. I think with 1:02:04.720 --> 1:02:07.360 a light rald extension down there, it would be magnificent. 1:02:07.440 --> 1:02:10.040 Now Michael Day is completely opposed to it. He's worried 1:02:10.080 --> 1:02:13.360 too many tories or move into his constituency. But I 1:02:13.360 --> 1:02:15.280 think if we get the balance right, we could probably 1:02:15.320 --> 1:02:16.120 start working there. 1:02:16.160 --> 1:02:18.080 Now I'm really glad you've raised this idea, because I 1:02:18.080 --> 1:02:19.840 haven't heard this idea for years yet it's popped up 1:02:19.880 --> 1:02:22.000 in the past. But the suggestion in some of the 1:02:22.000 --> 1:02:24.800 papers this morning was there could be parts of Homebush 1:02:24.920 --> 1:02:27.120 Sydney Lypy Park that could be developed for twenty thousand 1:02:27.120 --> 1:02:29.520 homes and there'll be a metro station there and Glee 1:02:29.600 --> 1:02:32.600 Island's been discussed for new housing. But this is a cracker, 1:02:32.640 --> 1:02:35.360 So everyone just think about this. We've got the state's 1:02:35.400 --> 1:02:38.840 worst of the worst living in waterfront property at Long Bay. Okay, 1:02:38.840 --> 1:02:40.320 when you're in your cell, you don't look out the 1:02:40.360 --> 1:02:42.760 window and cast your eyes over the ocean. But this 1:02:42.920 --> 1:02:45.680 is absolute prime real estate. And I see no reason 1:02:45.720 --> 1:02:48.960 why we couldn't invest in building a massive prison out 1:02:48.960 --> 1:02:51.520 in the back of Burke, ship them all out there 1:02:51.680 --> 1:02:52.720 and then sell off the land. 1:02:52.840 --> 1:02:54.760 Absolutely, it's a no brain. And I mean, I guess 1:02:54.760 --> 1:02:59.200 there's some heritage facilities considerations around the Long Bar, but 1:02:59.240 --> 1:03:02.400 you'd include that in the development the prisoners and you're right, 1:03:02.400 --> 1:03:05.800 I mean, the prisoners can go in the Peri urban districts, 1:03:05.880 --> 1:03:08.880 or they could go out to expand Baptist Jail or 1:03:08.920 --> 1:03:12.600 expand Lithgo Jail. And it's creates jobs in regional areas. 1:03:12.640 --> 1:03:15.760 And it is a no brainer. And I would very 1:03:15.840 --> 1:03:20.160 much encourage Chrismians and Mark Speakman to consider go back 1:03:20.200 --> 1:03:22.520 to go back to those plans that we had drafted 1:03:22.600 --> 1:03:24.760 up over long Ba Jail and stop spending money on 1:03:24.800 --> 1:03:29.680 what is essentially a piecemeal prison it's and spend some 1:03:29.720 --> 1:03:31.840 money on something that is going to give them a 1:03:31.880 --> 1:03:34.800 significant value for value to And of course, when you're 1:03:34.800 --> 1:03:37.840 building new jail, you build it for the modern criminal, 1:03:38.800 --> 1:03:43.360 the modern criminal rehabilitation, and Long Bay doesn't have all 1:03:43.400 --> 1:03:44.280 those facilities. 1:03:44.680 --> 1:03:47.360 It's an absolute no brainer and I can't believe it 1:03:47.360 --> 1:03:49.120 hasn't been on the agenda. Just think about it. You've 1:03:49.160 --> 1:03:50.680 got how many people who be in Long Bay? How 1:03:50.720 --> 1:03:52.680 many prison a couple of hours one thousand, I'd say, okay, 1:03:52.720 --> 1:03:54.160 so you got a thousand, You got a thousand living 1:03:54.200 --> 1:03:58.280 in prime Sydney real estate. Is the argument against doing 1:03:58.280 --> 1:04:01.040 it that the families of the prisoners would have a 1:04:01.080 --> 1:04:02.440 long way to travel to go and visit. 1:04:02.280 --> 1:04:05.120 The more you do have that, But you know, but 1:04:05.200 --> 1:04:08.160 when they place a prisoner, they don't necessarily think about 1:04:08.160 --> 1:04:10.680 where mum's coming from to come on Saturday afternoon to 1:04:10.960 --> 1:04:13.440 bring a cake with a file in it. I mean, 1:04:13.440 --> 1:04:17.600 it's where we it's where the prison, the prison officers live, 1:04:17.680 --> 1:04:19.480 and when I've been down there when I was a 1:04:19.480 --> 1:04:21.560 prison's I spent a lot of time at Long Bay Jail. 1:04:22.280 --> 1:04:25.200 But I interviewed the prison officers when I had this 1:04:25.240 --> 1:04:26.440 in the back of my mind, and most of them 1:04:26.440 --> 1:04:30.000 were commuting from Woollongong, commuting from Campbelltown. So if you 1:04:30.080 --> 1:04:31.760 said to them, you know, we're going to put it in, 1:04:32.120 --> 1:04:35.280 you know on the outskirts of Sydney that nobody had 1:04:35.280 --> 1:04:36.160 complained about it. 1:04:36.120 --> 1:04:38.479 And that's a pretty big area there. You could build 1:04:38.520 --> 1:04:39.000 a lot. 1:04:38.800 --> 1:04:41.600 Of units there and it's and just extend the light rail. 1:04:41.680 --> 1:04:43.640 Which is a lot cheaper than an underground metrorail, a. 1:04:43.640 --> 1:04:44.560 Lot cheaper than a metro. 1:04:45.040 --> 1:04:47.920 Stewart Airs came out today, You're former colleague in his 1:04:48.000 --> 1:04:49.760 new capacity and he said, look, we made a mistake 1:04:49.840 --> 1:04:52.560 by not having a metro station between Sydney Big Park 1:04:52.560 --> 1:04:54.200 and Parramatta. What is your view. 1:04:54.440 --> 1:04:57.280 I'm not accepting that because when we made that consideration, 1:04:57.480 --> 1:05:00.240 we didn't think that Rose Hill would be developed. It 1:05:00.280 --> 1:05:03.560 wasn't a mistake at the time. In hindsight, if rose 1:05:03.600 --> 1:05:05.800 Hill was going to go ahead, well, then we could say, yeah, 1:05:05.800 --> 1:05:07.520 we made a mistake. We probably should have put this 1:05:07.560 --> 1:05:10.120 on the radar in the beginning, but it was never 1:05:10.160 --> 1:05:13.040 a consideration when we were dropping the stations on that metro. 1:05:13.320 --> 1:05:15.200 The issue that's really got you angry this week is 1:05:15.400 --> 1:05:18.440 Chris Bowen eating during Mass. 1:05:18.920 --> 1:05:23.120 And I'm not Catholic, but I got that photo on 1:05:23.200 --> 1:05:25.840 Saturday Sunday night from people that were there, and my 1:05:26.040 --> 1:05:29.360 blood boiled. I thought that was the most disrespectful thing 1:05:29.400 --> 1:05:31.720 anybody could do. He would not do it in a mosque, 1:05:31.720 --> 1:05:33.400 and he certainly wouldn't do it in a temple, or 1:05:34.360 --> 1:05:36.560 he certainly wouldn't do it in a synagogue, but he 1:05:36.800 --> 1:05:38.920 feels that he can do it in front of the 1:05:38.960 --> 1:05:41.680 Catholic community in his own electorate, who I'm pretty sure 1:05:41.720 --> 1:05:43.800 won't let him forget about it now. I've seen that 1:05:43.840 --> 1:05:47.320 invitation that he received. It clearly says eleven am Mass. 1:05:47.680 --> 1:05:51.280 At twelve o'clock, there'll be there'll be light refreshment. So 1:05:51.360 --> 1:05:53.840 if he was hungry, he could have been, like everybody 1:05:54.000 --> 1:05:55.880 or the rest of us, just wait until after the 1:05:55.880 --> 1:05:57.120 search service was finished. 1:05:57.200 --> 1:05:59.880 I've got the invitation here in front of me Club Marconi. 1:06:00.000 --> 1:06:03.640 Remember eating Italian Republic Day eleven am commemorative Mass, twelve 1:06:03.720 --> 1:06:07.640 pm opening sereny followed by light refreshments. And it's not 1:06:07.680 --> 1:06:09.320 like the event was being held. The mass was being 1:06:09.360 --> 1:06:10.320 held at meal time. 1:06:10.480 --> 1:06:11.480 No, that's exactly right. 1:06:11.480 --> 1:06:12.960 I mean, maybe he's used a very early lunch at 1:06:13.000 --> 1:06:14.000 eleven o'clock. 1:06:13.680 --> 1:06:16.160 But this is the Hubris that you and I spoke 1:06:16.200 --> 1:06:20.120 about on the election night, and Chris Bowen is going 1:06:20.160 --> 1:06:22.520 to be I don't know him, I've never met him. 1:06:23.080 --> 1:06:25.240 I'm in the Jason Clair faction of the Labor Party. 1:06:25.240 --> 1:06:27.280 When it comes to Southwestern Sydney. I think he's the 1:06:27.280 --> 1:06:30.160 one that should be given the tough jobs. But I 1:06:30.840 --> 1:06:34.080 just feel that what Chris has done and his lame 1:06:34.160 --> 1:06:37.400 excuse that he didn't know that was a mass, well 1:06:37.440 --> 1:06:40.600 you were sitting there in front of a priest. And 1:06:40.680 --> 1:06:44.640 again I'm not jumping on the high horse because I'm 1:06:44.680 --> 1:06:46.800 not a Catholic, but I do have enough respect for 1:06:46.840 --> 1:06:49.760 people's faith to think that a member of parliamentic minister 1:06:49.800 --> 1:06:53.080 of the Crown not less, would not only treat his 1:06:53.200 --> 1:06:56.000 constituents like that, but then try to lie about it, 1:06:56.040 --> 1:06:57.120 which I thought was disgraceful. 1:06:57.160 --> 1:06:59.240 We spoke about Hubrit's on election that this was the 1:06:59.240 --> 1:07:01.840 big danger. That's one example. I'll just play you this. 1:07:01.960 --> 1:07:04.400 You may not have heard this. This is another example 1:07:04.440 --> 1:07:05.680 I think of Hubris. 1:07:05.840 --> 1:07:09.080 Just a fun fact that's been Drawdan to my attention 1:07:09.920 --> 1:07:15.240 is that there are more women whose name begins with 1:07:15.520 --> 1:07:19.600 A in the Labor Party caucus in the House of Representatives. 1:07:20.400 --> 1:07:26.720 Ten Then there will be nine coalition women on the 1:07:26.760 --> 1:07:29.920 floor of the House of Representatives, in the Liberal Party 1:07:30.200 --> 1:07:35.080 and the National Party combined with Anika Here, Anna Lee, 1:07:35.240 --> 1:07:39.960 Ailey France, who's here, Alisha Payne, Alice Jordan Baird, ash 1:07:40.040 --> 1:07:45.600 Amberjapaha and Stanley, Alison Burns, Anne Urkhart and Amanda Rishworth. 1:07:46.120 --> 1:07:48.120 That's an example of humorous Yeah, well, I been. 1:07:48.080 --> 1:07:50.000 The lovies for Labor are going to stand up and say, 1:07:50.040 --> 1:07:52.400 isn't this fantastic? You know, we've got more women than 1:07:52.440 --> 1:07:56.400 the opposition have got at twice as many, but they've 1:07:56.400 --> 1:07:58.200 also got more than twice the number of seats that 1:07:58.240 --> 1:08:01.720 the coalition's got. So let's marry it all up. And 1:08:02.240 --> 1:08:04.560 I think, I mean the proof's going to be in 1:08:04.560 --> 1:08:07.640 the putting for a lot of those new MPs. And 1:08:07.880 --> 1:08:11.760 new ministers. I wouldn't be playing the gender card too 1:08:11.800 --> 1:08:14.040 close because I think that he's going to find that 1:08:14.160 --> 1:08:15.480 some of those people embarrassing. 1:08:15.800 --> 1:08:17.280 I had a lot of feedback here to the idea, 1:08:17.320 --> 1:08:19.360 to the proposal to sell and it's not actually on 1:08:19.400 --> 1:08:21.519 the agenda at the moment. We're just raising it this afternoon, 1:08:21.520 --> 1:08:24.479 but to redevelop Longbow Jail for housing Michelle and the 1:08:24.520 --> 1:08:27.640 Textlan says, I do have a family member that is incarcerated. 1:08:27.680 --> 1:08:29.960 He is in Grafton, which is a six hour drive. 1:08:30.080 --> 1:08:32.080 If you want to visit an inmate, you will travel. 1:08:32.160 --> 1:08:35.599 That's right, okay. Harry is a former Ranwick counselor diet 1:08:35.640 --> 1:08:37.559 I Harry, good day. 1:08:37.520 --> 1:08:38.400 How are you going good? 1:08:39.680 --> 1:08:42.799 Yeah, that's good. Look back in twenty thirteen, I raised 1:08:42.800 --> 1:08:45.719 this issue in council and we wrote to Greg Smith 1:08:45.760 --> 1:08:47.680 at the time, who was the Attorney General here in 1:08:47.720 --> 1:08:50.160 New South Wales, and I mentioned to him that this 1:08:50.240 --> 1:08:53.280 would be a very very good idea. We're talking about 1:08:53.360 --> 1:08:56.559 ninety acres of prime real estate right in the heart 1:08:56.680 --> 1:09:00.760 of or very close to the city center. And you know, 1:09:00.840 --> 1:09:03.400 I mean, I agree wholeheartedly with what David raised. I 1:09:03.479 --> 1:09:05.840 raised these issues earlier that you know, why would you 1:09:05.920 --> 1:09:08.320 give them prim real estate? Why would you Why wouldn't 1:09:08.360 --> 1:09:12.080 you relocate the jail into regional areas and create more 1:09:12.160 --> 1:09:15.720 jobs out there, you know, I mean, I think it's 1:09:15.720 --> 1:09:18.400 a no brainer. You know, we're talking about you know 1:09:18.439 --> 1:09:20.840 a lot of heritage buildings there which could be preserved. 1:09:21.080 --> 1:09:24.200 You don't necessarily have to go massive high rise there. 1:09:24.280 --> 1:09:26.720 I mean, I don't understand why Labor got rid of 1:09:27.160 --> 1:09:29.680 Prince Henry. You know, why would you get rid of 1:09:29.720 --> 1:09:33.519 a hospital that's been used primarily by everybody and not 1:09:33.560 --> 1:09:34.360 get rid of the jail. 1:09:34.479 --> 1:09:36.559 So a long long time ago Prince Harry disappeared. 1:09:36.560 --> 1:09:40.919 But I'm agree, yeah, Well Harry's right, And the political 1:09:40.960 --> 1:09:44.320 problem that Chris had was that Chris Men's had everybody 1:09:44.360 --> 1:09:46.240 loved rose Hill, which in Western Sydney a lot of 1:09:46.280 --> 1:09:49.640 people do. Nobody loves the prison, nobody, So he's not 1:09:49.680 --> 1:09:51.600 going to have any He's not going to be facing. 1:09:51.320 --> 1:09:53.160 Well, the prison's way be given a vote, will but no, 1:09:53.200 --> 1:09:54.040 that won't be given. 1:09:53.880 --> 1:09:54.439 A vote on it. 1:09:54.600 --> 1:09:56.920 With the exemption of Michael Day, who loves it being 1:09:56.960 --> 1:10:00.000 there for various reasons. Nobody is going to be changed 1:10:00.120 --> 1:10:02.479 themselves to the front gates. Of Long Bay Jail saying 1:10:02.520 --> 1:10:04.000 let's let's save the jail. 1:10:04.120 --> 1:10:06.320 Fair point here from Angela. On the text line, Angelo says, 1:10:06.320 --> 1:10:08.360 I'm a prison officer. We can't get staff to go 1:10:08.439 --> 1:10:11.120 out west, but pict In would be a good vistue. 1:10:11.000 --> 1:10:13.479 If because they do they can do the long shifts 1:10:13.479 --> 1:10:16.679 and they, you know, and I mean most prison officers 1:10:16.720 --> 1:10:18.960 that I work with are very, very dedicated to their 1:10:19.040 --> 1:10:21.080 job and if they get posted somewhere which is a 1:10:21.080 --> 1:10:25.080 little bit longer to commute, they'll do it because they 1:10:25.160 --> 1:10:27.000 are you know, they're company people. 1:10:27.080 --> 1:10:29.360 The Shadow Ministry announced yesterday by Susan Lee. What are 1:10:29.360 --> 1:10:30.559 your impressions. 1:10:30.400 --> 1:10:33.479 Listen, I mean it's early days, bumby start. I did 1:10:33.760 --> 1:10:37.599 take offense to the fact that Michael McCormack was removed. 1:10:37.640 --> 1:10:40.160 I thought that he had a three percent swing to 1:10:40.280 --> 1:10:42.120 him at a time when people were having double digit 1:10:42.160 --> 1:10:44.880 swings against them. But I got to say, as a 1:10:44.920 --> 1:10:50.080 proud Westy, giving a millionaire, middle class senator like Andrew 1:10:50.160 --> 1:10:55.400 Bragg who has the homelessness portfolio doesn't sit comfortably with me. 1:10:55.600 --> 1:10:59.160 And this is the guy that campaigned on quotas for 1:10:59.240 --> 1:11:01.599 women in Parliament and then knife Holly Hughes to get 1:11:01.600 --> 1:11:04.960 his sum back into the Senate. I'm not comfortable with it. 1:11:06.120 --> 1:11:08.680 I'm hoping that I'm going to be wrong, but you know, 1:11:08.800 --> 1:11:11.519 horses for courses here. But you know, I think having 1:11:11.920 --> 1:11:14.040 I think Andrew Hasting and Home Affairs is good. Love 1:11:14.080 --> 1:11:15.920 seeing Alex Hawk back. If they listened to him a 1:11:15.920 --> 1:11:17.720 little bit more during the campaign, we wouldn't have lost 1:11:17.760 --> 1:11:21.640 as many seats and vote in Western Sydney. And of 1:11:21.640 --> 1:11:24.040 course I think you know Susan has proven herself to 1:11:24.080 --> 1:11:27.760 be a very even keeled candidate for the Prime ministership. 1:11:27.800 --> 1:11:30.719 We're almost at a time tomorrow your column the Telegraph 1:11:30.720 --> 1:11:33.000 will feature the best country towns. 1:11:32.920 --> 1:11:35.559 Best Country Towns tomorrow. I've been English once. I've spoken 1:11:35.600 --> 1:11:38.519 as Steve Camper, who's given me permission to quote him. 1:11:38.520 --> 1:11:41.400 And we're going to spend the long weekend next weekend 1:11:41.479 --> 1:11:45.719 in regional New South Wales. And I've got a saucy 1:11:45.760 --> 1:11:48.519 little story about Tamworth when I went there. 1:11:48.320 --> 1:11:50.680 And saucy story, A little saucy story. 1:11:50.400 --> 1:11:53.160 Because I went out there to Tamworth with Kevin Anderson 1:11:53.280 --> 1:11:56.519 once and it was at a function that started mouth 1:11:56.560 --> 1:11:58.919 and off and boasting about I had a teenage romance 1:11:58.960 --> 1:12:01.519 in Tamworth and I loved coming to Tamworth with those memories. 1:12:02.040 --> 1:12:05.120 And it turned out it was old mates, missus since 1:12:05.880 --> 1:12:10.360 since i'd since i'd lost communication with that young teenage lady, 1:12:10.439 --> 1:12:13.200 she'd married the bloke I was boasting about. So just 1:12:13.280 --> 1:12:15.879 goes to show up. My mother said, never talk about sex, politics, 1:12:15.920 --> 1:12:17.639 or religion, and we've done all three of them today. 1:12:17.680 --> 1:12:21.320 Mates, we'll read about it tomorrow and the Telly David 1:12:21.360 --> 1:12:23.439 Elliott our straight shit it for a Thursday afternoon. 1:12:23.880 --> 1:12:25.400 The point is I was here first. 1:12:25.439 --> 1:12:27.360 I was closer to this space than you were. But 1:12:27.520 --> 1:12:30.080 I'm backing and you can't put it in head first. 1:12:30.120 --> 1:12:33.720 I can if I have room, Are you going to 1:12:33.760 --> 1:12:36.200 move the car? No, I'm not going to move the car. 1:12:36.760 --> 1:12:39.720 Sure, we've been talking parking dramas on the show. If 1:12:39.760 --> 1:12:41.559 you'd like to share a story, zero four x zero 1:12:41.600 --> 1:12:44.439 eight seven three out seven to three, Sabrina's done just that. 1:12:44.680 --> 1:12:47.880 Cars taking up two spots happens every day outside my place. 1:12:47.920 --> 1:12:49.600 It always seems to be the young drivers who are 1:12:49.680 --> 1:12:53.559 lazy and considerate, disrespectful, discourteous and don't know how to drive. 1:12:53.680 --> 1:12:55.880 You approach them, you ask them to be more respectful. 1:12:56.120 --> 1:12:58.360 And they look at you as if you've got two heads. 1:12:58.960 --> 1:13:01.320 Most of the younger generation and think they're entitled. The 1:13:01.360 --> 1:13:04.559 older drivers are much much better. Thank you, Sabrina. If 1:13:04.560 --> 1:13:06.400 you've got a parking story, share at one three one 1:13:06.520 --> 1:13:08.800 eight seven three coming up after the news. If you 1:13:08.840 --> 1:13:11.759 suffer arthriters, AI could be to the rescue. 1:13:14.680 --> 1:13:19.200 There is Sydney. Now we've Clinton Mayna on to ginb. 1:13:19.400 --> 1:13:22.320 It's seven past five. Some very fat sad news today 1:13:22.640 --> 1:13:26.240 about Magnus Events, probably one of our best loved comedians. 1:13:26.479 --> 1:13:30.240 She has confirmed today via social media that she has 1:13:30.280 --> 1:13:33.720 been diagnosed with cancer. Now she has been fighting this 1:13:33.760 --> 1:13:36.840 for a little while. It is a form of lymphoma 1:13:36.960 --> 1:13:41.519 called mantle cell lymphoma, and it is at stage four. 1:13:41.600 --> 1:13:45.280 It's quite a rare blood cancer and mag is only 1:13:45.320 --> 1:13:49.320 sixty four. And she has posted this video on social media. 1:13:49.400 --> 1:13:50.760 Hello, my love lies. 1:13:50.920 --> 1:13:53.559 A head is shaved in anticipation of it all falling 1:13:53.600 --> 1:13:55.960 out in a couple of weeks, because I have just 1:13:56.040 --> 1:14:01.040 been diagnosed with a very rare, very aggressive rue is lymphoma. 1:14:01.640 --> 1:14:04.840 It is one of the nasty ones, unfortunately. But the 1:14:04.840 --> 1:14:08.679 good thing is I'm surrounded by beautiful friends and family 1:14:08.880 --> 1:14:13.280 and an incredible medical support team. It's pretty confronting, but 1:14:13.479 --> 1:14:16.120 new treatments keep coming down the pipeline all the time. 1:14:16.200 --> 1:14:17.840 So I just got a. 1:14:21.840 --> 1:14:22.559 What do you get to do? 1:14:22.640 --> 1:14:23.080 What do you do? 1:14:23.200 --> 1:14:23.920 What are you going to do? 1:14:24.200 --> 1:14:28.720 Anyway, love is all by Magna. Now. She didn't break 1:14:28.760 --> 1:14:32.439 down there, she was actually laughing. The best way sometimes 1:14:32.439 --> 1:14:35.160 to deal with with horrible news is with some humor, 1:14:35.320 --> 1:14:39.599 and that's the attitude she's taking. So she's only sixty four, 1:14:39.720 --> 1:14:42.400 the star of so many wonderful comedies over the years. 1:14:42.439 --> 1:14:45.080 It would have been fast forward back in the day 1:14:45.080 --> 1:14:47.000 where I first saw them, and fast forward and then 1:14:47.000 --> 1:14:50.440 it became full frontal. But probably her best name program 1:14:50.520 --> 1:14:53.519 was Kath and Kim. So all of our love this 1:14:53.600 --> 1:14:57.519 afternoon to Magna Sevanski until six. 1:14:57.840 --> 1:15:01.160 This is Sydney Now with Clinton Main on two GB 1:15:01.680 --> 1:15:04.440 call now one three one three. 1:15:05.240 --> 1:15:07.960 Fifty year old Christopher David Grantham has appeared on his 1:15:08.000 --> 1:15:11.360 Central Coast court today, charged over the death of his father. 1:15:11.960 --> 1:15:14.439 At this time yesterday we were trying to assist the 1:15:14.479 --> 1:15:18.560 police in searching for this man. He has been accused 1:15:18.600 --> 1:15:22.280 of lighting the fire in the Croydon Park home that 1:15:22.320 --> 1:15:26.000 he shared with his father and his mother. His dad, Ted, 1:15:26.320 --> 1:15:31.080 who was quite a well known local music teacher, died 1:15:31.120 --> 1:15:35.280 in that fire. Grantham has been charged with domestic violence, 1:15:35.360 --> 1:15:38.040 murder and a range of other offenses. He did not 1:15:38.160 --> 1:15:41.120 apply for bail, only a very short mention in the 1:15:41.160 --> 1:15:45.120 court today. His lawyer says he's only had limited time 1:15:45.160 --> 1:15:46.799 to have a conversation with his client. 1:15:47.320 --> 1:15:50.360 I'm still far too early to make those kinds of decisions. 1:15:50.880 --> 1:15:53.439 This matter still has to be fully fleshed out, and 1:15:53.720 --> 1:15:55.519 in time it will crystallize and we will deal with 1:15:55.520 --> 1:15:58.559 it appropriately. It's just about moving forward with the process 1:15:58.600 --> 1:16:01.320 and lending it all, as I said, flesh out and 1:16:01.560 --> 1:16:04.080 once the ebdans is all served, then we'll clearly deal 1:16:04.120 --> 1:16:04.880 with that appropriately. 1:16:05.040 --> 1:16:08.120 There's also been another significant court appearance today and that 1:16:08.280 --> 1:16:12.200 is our fifty year old Kwang q Yung. This is 1:16:12.240 --> 1:16:15.599 the man who was charged with murdering an entire family 1:16:15.640 --> 1:16:19.120 in Sydney's West last year. It was February of last year. Now. 1:16:19.280 --> 1:16:24.080 Ku is a taekwon Do instructor and he is accused 1:16:24.080 --> 1:16:28.720 of murdering a mother, a father, and their seven year 1:16:28.720 --> 1:16:32.200 old boy. Little boy was a taekwon do student. 1:16:32.760 --> 1:16:33.000 Well. 1:16:33.040 --> 1:16:35.240 Today he has appeared briefly in court and he has 1:16:35.280 --> 1:16:38.680 pleaded guilty to all three counts of murder. And for 1:16:38.760 --> 1:16:41.479 the family of the victims, that's a good thing because 1:16:41.479 --> 1:16:43.160 it now means they don't have to go through the 1:16:43.200 --> 1:16:47.400 pain of a long and exhaustive trial. He was only 1:16:47.439 --> 1:16:49.240 in court briefly and it was via a video link, 1:16:49.880 --> 1:16:52.680 and he responded yes sir and bowed his head when 1:16:52.720 --> 1:16:54.439 the magistrate confirmed his guilty. 1:16:54.479 --> 1:16:54.799 Please. 1:16:55.800 --> 1:16:58.599 The bodies of that little boy and his mother were 1:16:58.640 --> 1:17:02.000 found inside a taekwondo student in North Paramatta back in 1:17:02.040 --> 1:17:06.000 February of twenty twenty four, and then two hours after that, 1:17:06.720 --> 1:17:09.439 Stephen Choe, the father of that little boy, was found 1:17:09.520 --> 1:17:14.720 dead in a townhouse in Boukham Hills. The man's accused 1:17:14.760 --> 1:17:19.840 of strangling the mum and the son his student, leaving 1:17:19.840 --> 1:17:22.800 their bodies in the taekwondos studio. He then drove the 1:17:22.840 --> 1:17:26.280 woman's BMW to the family home in Boukham Hills and 1:17:26.320 --> 1:17:30.400 he stabbed the father to death. He remains in custody. 1:17:30.720 --> 1:17:37.080 He'll be sentenced later this year. Hello, my lovely, if 1:17:37.080 --> 1:17:38.800 you like to send a text message at zero fourth 1:17:38.880 --> 1:17:41.439 x zero eight seven three eight seven three if you 1:17:41.479 --> 1:17:45.080 suffer from arth writers. AI may be able to help you. 1:17:45.520 --> 1:17:48.639 Clara is a new AI powered app and it's helping 1:17:48.720 --> 1:17:52.599 arthritis patients and this is absolutely revolutionary. It's a world first. 1:17:53.040 --> 1:17:55.759 It is designed by the Arthritis Movement and it provides 1:17:55.840 --> 1:17:59.040 twenty four to seven access. The best part it's actually 1:17:59.040 --> 1:18:01.280 free down load tell us more. Alex Green is the 1:18:01.280 --> 1:18:04.679 CEO of Arthritis Movement. Thank you for your time, Alex. 1:18:06.880 --> 1:18:09.240 Tell me about the app well. 1:18:09.240 --> 1:18:12.400 Clara is a free digital companion built by the Arthritis 1:18:12.479 --> 1:18:15.920 Movement to support people living with arthritis. There's over a 1:18:16.000 --> 1:18:18.240 million of us in New South Wales, so this is 1:18:18.320 --> 1:18:21.519 much needed. As you said, it uses artificial intelligence to 1:18:21.560 --> 1:18:24.800 help users find relevant answers to their question, to track 1:18:24.880 --> 1:18:27.880 their well being and to connect with trusted events, content 1:18:28.200 --> 1:18:28.839 and support. 1:18:29.439 --> 1:18:32.160 A lot of us are quite worried about AI that's 1:18:32.200 --> 1:18:34.479 going to replace the need for a human being. So 1:18:35.200 --> 1:18:38.080 in terms of somebody who is suffering arthriters, how does 1:18:38.120 --> 1:18:39.960 it assist where a doctor would usually help. 1:18:41.200 --> 1:18:44.920 Yeah, so Clara doesn't give diagnosed or give medical instructions. 1:18:45.080 --> 1:18:48.839 Is there to support people with information, confidence and everyday guidance. 1:18:48.840 --> 1:18:50.840 So you can think of it as a trusted companion, 1:18:51.280 --> 1:18:54.200 not a replacement for doctor, and in fact it complements 1:18:54.200 --> 1:18:57.599 the work of healthcare professionals, but it exists in your pocket. 1:18:57.600 --> 1:18:58.840 You don't have to wait to see them, and you 1:18:58.880 --> 1:19:01.360 have to pay anything to access its advice. 1:19:01.760 --> 1:19:04.880 So if I have arthritis and say, wake up in 1:19:04.920 --> 1:19:08.120 the morning and I'm terribly, terribly stiff and sore and 1:19:08.880 --> 1:19:11.360 literally have trouble getting out of bit, as so many 1:19:11.520 --> 1:19:13.679 arthritis patients do, how would the app assist? 1:19:15.080 --> 1:19:16.200 So a couple of ways. 1:19:16.240 --> 1:19:18.640 Firstly, you can ask any questions you might app so 1:19:18.680 --> 1:19:21.320 in that situation you describe Clinton, you might ask about 1:19:21.360 --> 1:19:24.320 pain management techniques and you'll get the answers straight away. 1:19:24.479 --> 1:19:27.479 But also Clara will help with lifestyle changes that will 1:19:27.479 --> 1:19:29.680 help manage pain in the longer term as well. So 1:19:29.720 --> 1:19:31.960 that might be changing your sleep pats, your diet, and 1:19:32.000 --> 1:19:35.720 your exercise regimes so that you can stay well and 1:19:36.000 --> 1:19:37.760 minimize symptoms like pain. 1:19:38.439 --> 1:19:40.879 And simple to use, Yeah. 1:19:40.720 --> 1:19:44.240 Fantastic, fantastically is as you So we designed this with 1:19:44.600 --> 1:19:47.519 consumer use in mind and not expecting a high level 1:19:47.560 --> 1:19:51.160 of health literacy or digital literacy. So anyone can jump 1:19:51.200 --> 1:19:53.920 on the website or use this app and they'll find 1:19:53.920 --> 1:19:55.559 it very user friendly. 1:19:55.840 --> 1:19:58.360 So because why I ask that question is that obviously 1:19:58.439 --> 1:20:01.680 arthritis affix mostly older people. Younger people can suffer it 1:20:01.720 --> 1:20:05.040 as well, and older people may not be terribly affaie 1:20:05.160 --> 1:20:07.960 with the use of apps, and our artificial intelligence might 1:20:08.000 --> 1:20:09.320 be something that frightens them a little bit. 1:20:10.280 --> 1:20:16.760 Yeah, understandable. So trust and reliability were some of the 1:20:16.840 --> 1:20:21.439 kind of non negotiables for us. So privacy of data 1:20:22.080 --> 1:20:25.200 and reliability of the advice and content that Clara revives 1:20:25.280 --> 1:20:28.679 is absolutely imperative to how we design this. In terms 1:20:28.680 --> 1:20:32.000 of usibility, We've considered that it might be older people, 1:20:32.200 --> 1:20:35.160 and so accessibility in terms of font sizes and how 1:20:35.160 --> 1:20:37.120 the app works has really been in front of mind. 1:20:37.479 --> 1:20:38.640 How do we get hold of it if we do 1:20:38.640 --> 1:20:39.800 suffer arthritis? 1:20:40.360 --> 1:20:42.400 The way you can download Clara for free from the 1:20:42.400 --> 1:20:45.000 App Store or Google Play, or there's a website where 1:20:45.040 --> 1:20:47.840 you can play with the question and answer answer function 1:20:47.880 --> 1:20:50.679 that's called ask Clara dot com dot au. 1:20:51.000 --> 1:20:52.560 Okay, thank you for the information. 1:20:52.280 --> 1:20:53.880 Alex gony Klington. 1:20:53.920 --> 1:20:57.040 Thanks Alex Green, who's the CEO of Arthritis Movement. And 1:20:57.120 --> 1:20:58.920 Ben makes a good point here on the text line. 1:20:58.960 --> 1:21:00.960 I know people who suffer thriders who can barely use 1:21:00.960 --> 1:21:02.960 a fund. So that's a fair point, and that's why 1:21:02.960 --> 1:21:05.840 I asked Alex about how difficult it was to use. 1:21:05.880 --> 1:21:08.760 And a lot of older people are very apprehensive about technology, 1:21:08.800 --> 1:21:11.439 but particularly look, I'm apprehensive that AI to be honest, 1:21:11.720 --> 1:21:15.639 so I can appreciate that. But anything to provide more 1:21:15.680 --> 1:21:17.800 help and assistance in the end has got to be 1:21:17.840 --> 1:21:22.720 a positive thing. Seventy three. This just a hand from 1:21:22.760 --> 1:21:25.240 New South Wales Police. A fourth teenage boy has now 1:21:25.280 --> 1:21:27.760 been charged following a brawl in a park in the 1:21:27.800 --> 1:21:31.519 Northern suburbs earlier this month. This was the fireworks that 1:21:31.640 --> 1:21:34.439 was being held at Salis Bay Road, Northbridge a little 1:21:34.479 --> 1:21:37.000 early this month.

We've been in contact 1:22:16.800 --> 1:22:19.320 with transurb and they have confirmed that a vehicle went 1:22:19.320 --> 1:22:21.720 through the tunnel at the time which created a lot 1:22:21.760 --> 1:22:25.479 of smoke. The ventilation though, in response, was ramped up 1:22:25.520 --> 1:22:28.760 and the tunnel is completely clear now. Thanks letting us 1:22:28.760 --> 1:22:30.639 know about that.

There's been a two 1:23:05.120 --> 1:23:08.599 car crash of the Hume Highway in Yaguna. One westbound 1:23:08.680 --> 1:23:11.160 lane is still closed.

Auden believed the agent her twenties has 1:23:13.720 --> 1:23:17.000 been taken a Bankstown hospital in a stable condition. Police 1:23:17.040 --> 1:23:19.639 have just confirmed this with us. They have now charged 1:23:19.640 --> 1:23:21.880 Amand in relation to the cold case that we were 1:23:21.880 --> 1:23:25.000 reporting this morning.

Now there's been a coronal in 1:23:36.800 --> 1:23:40.680 quest that has been conducted over the years and Pauline's 1:23:40.760 --> 1:23:45.000 never been found. She is presumed murdered as a result 1:23:45.000 --> 1:23:47.080 of the coronial in quest and there's no sign of 1:23:47.479 --> 1:23:51.679 a body. They did make a finding of a presumed murder. 1:23:51.760 --> 1:23:55.960 There was an unconfirmed sighting in nineteen ninety four. Well 1:23:56.240 --> 1:23:59.120 last year police announced a five hundred thousand dollars reward 1:23:59.120 --> 1:24:02.519 for information and that has resulted in the arrest of 1:24:02.560 --> 1:24:06.320 a man today and arrest of a sixty four year 1:24:06.320 --> 1:24:08.320 old man who has been questioned throughout the day at 1:24:08.360 --> 1:24:11.519 Woollongong Police Station. Well, that sixty four year old has 1:24:11.560 --> 1:24:16.000 now been charged. Police are confirmed to us that the 1:24:16.080 --> 1:24:19.800 man has been charged with being accessory after the fact 1:24:19.840 --> 1:24:24.240 to murder and concealing a serious indictable offense. He is 1:24:24.320 --> 1:24:28.400 due to appear in the Wollongong Local Court tomorrow until six. 1:24:28.680 --> 1:24:32.040 This is Sydney now with Clinton Maynard on two GB 1:24:32.560 --> 1:24:34.920 call now one three one three. 1:24:35.840 --> 1:24:38.200 Gee, hasn't this one got you fired up? The stuff 1:24:38.240 --> 1:24:41.280 the moon. It's the story about Penrith resident Andrew who 1:24:41.280 --> 1:24:45.719 lives in the Penrith LGA, lives in Londonderry. And Andrew's 1:24:45.720 --> 1:24:48.120 really good to his neighbors and with all the rain 1:24:48.160 --> 1:24:51.479 that occurred last week in his neighbour's street, looked like 1:24:51.520 --> 1:24:53.960 some of the properties nearby were starting to flood because 1:24:54.000 --> 1:24:58.840 the drains were overflowing the waste drains. The wastewater was 1:24:58.880 --> 1:25:01.680 clogged up. So what Andrew did. He as a bobcat. 1:25:02.200 --> 1:25:04.120 He used to be the Army, so he's trained to 1:25:04.200 --> 1:25:07.320 use a Bobcat's got a bobcat license. So he used 1:25:07.320 --> 1:25:10.000 his bobcat to clear out one of the drains stormwater 1:25:10.080 --> 1:25:14.360 drains and it saved his property, his neighbor's property from flooding. Well, 1:25:14.600 --> 1:25:17.679 what did Penrith City Council do in return? They threatened 1:25:17.720 --> 1:25:20.840 to send bill, threat to send Andrew a bill for 1:25:20.880 --> 1:25:24.639 the cleanup because he or the garbage that he used 1:25:24.680 --> 1:25:27.880 the bobcat to remove from the stormwater drain. He's then 1:25:27.960 --> 1:25:31.280 put it up on a council strip and Penrith City 1:25:31.320 --> 1:25:33.479 Council's discovered that and they then said, well you've done 1:25:33.520 --> 1:25:35.160 the wrong thing. We're going to send you a bill. 1:25:36.120 --> 1:25:39.680 Police even made charge him for using a bobcat on 1:25:39.720 --> 1:25:43.360 the road. Well, Penrith Councilor Glenn Gardner has been in 1:25:43.400 --> 1:25:46.120 touch with us. In June last year he tried to 1:25:46.160 --> 1:25:48.599 move a motion to provide seven point one million dollars 1:25:48.680 --> 1:25:53.240 in funding for stormwater repairs in Londonderry and surrounds. The 1:25:53.320 --> 1:25:57.240 motion failed. Here's what Councilor Gardener said last year. 1:25:57.400 --> 1:26:01.080 On one occasion, the carpet was later a It was 1:26:01.080 --> 1:26:02.800 flood at the game at three pm on the same 1:26:02.880 --> 1:26:07.600 day on Purcell Road, Londonderry. In twenty twenty two, I 1:26:07.720 --> 1:26:10.679 raised concerns about the volume of water running down Purcell Road. 1:26:12.080 --> 1:26:14.919 Action was not taken and now two years later, Purcell 1:26:15.000 --> 1:26:18.040 Road has been narrowed by about two meters at one location. 1:26:18.160 --> 1:26:21.120 That's a result of erosion due to inadequate roadside drainage. 1:26:21.160 --> 1:26:23.679 So this is almost a year ago. He urged counsel 1:26:23.720 --> 1:26:26.360 to do something about it a year ago because of 1:26:26.439 --> 1:26:28.320 blocks stormwater pipes and drainage. 1:26:28.400 --> 1:26:30.760 Our level of stormwater management in the rural areas of 1:26:30.760 --> 1:26:34.120 our city is grotesquely inadequate, and we are failing in 1:26:34.160 --> 1:26:37.320 our core responsibilities. Whilst ever we walk past this inadequacy, 1:26:38.200 --> 1:26:40.600 our urge of our councilor colleagues to vote in favor. 1:26:40.360 --> 1:26:43.280 Of this motion, and they didn't, so the money was 1:26:43.280 --> 1:26:46.200 not spent to fix stormwater drains and all the pipes. Well, 1:26:46.520 --> 1:26:48.680 we are in contact with Penry Citi's council off air 1:26:48.760 --> 1:26:50.799 and hopefully they will join us on the program tomorrow 1:26:50.800 --> 1:26:53.439 because this is ridiculous. Not only is it ridiculous that 1:26:53.479 --> 1:26:56.880 they're not maintaining the stormwater system, but to think Andrew 1:26:56.920 --> 1:26:59.880 has done the right thing. He's used his Bobcat to 1:27:00.080 --> 1:27:02.760 remove the mess that's clocking up the drain and he 1:27:02.960 --> 1:27:06.559 is then threatened with a fine, He is then threatened 1:27:06.560 --> 1:27:11.160 with charges. It's ridiculous. They should be thinking him ge. 1:27:11.360 --> 1:27:14.040 Penrith Council cover themselves in glory, don't they. Michael on 1:27:14.080 --> 1:27:16.439 the text line says, why does this not surprise me? 1:27:16.479 --> 1:27:18.880 From Penrith Counsel. They are not a progressive counsel. They 1:27:18.920 --> 1:27:21.719 do not support their residents. All they're interested in doing 1:27:21.840 --> 1:27:25.479 is making money and finding people. Andrew should be sending 1:27:25.520 --> 1:27:28.799 them the bill. Yes, Andrew cleaned out the drain, Andrew 1:27:28.920 --> 1:27:32.160 saved his neighbors from flooding, and Penrith Counsel want to 1:27:32.160 --> 1:27:35.240 issue him with a fine. The news today that Magna 1:27:35.360 --> 1:27:37.880 Zebanski is suffering a rare form of cancer. It is 1:27:37.920 --> 1:27:42.599 called mantle sell lymphoma and it is at stage four. Well, 1:27:42.880 --> 1:27:46.400 this is a heartening message from Kate. Kate says, my 1:27:46.560 --> 1:27:49.519 mum had limphomer blood cancer. She was given nine months 1:27:49.560 --> 1:27:52.080 to live. My mum is still alive to this day. 1:27:52.479 --> 1:27:55.719 She took apricot kernels eight per day, crushed with a fork. 1:27:55.800 --> 1:27:57.920 She was eating them with fruit, for instance Kiwi fruit. 1:27:59.160 --> 1:28:03.040 It's a natural sinide that attacks the cancer only. Well, 1:28:03.520 --> 1:28:05.519 I'm sure Magner is in the best of care and 1:28:05.520 --> 1:28:09.440 hopefully she still has many years ahead of her. Celebrating 1:28:09.439 --> 1:28:11.760 a birthday he would have been celebrating a birthday to day, 1:28:11.800 --> 1:28:14.880 but I know his family is marking today. Stanza Marnik 1:28:15.000 --> 1:28:19.439 stan was without question one of my favorite radio presenters 1:28:19.479 --> 1:28:21.840 and I knew him pretty well. I had the pleasure 1:28:21.880 --> 1:28:25.880 of working with him for several years. Unfortunately, Sam passed 1:28:25.920 --> 1:28:28.960 away from cancer at the age of only sixty in 1:28:29.000 --> 1:28:31.760 two thousand and seven, but his wife, Marcella, I'm still 1:28:31.760 --> 1:28:34.080 in contact with. I received a lovely message from Marcella. 1:28:34.120 --> 1:28:37.120 She's a regular listener yesterday and she's celebrating her radioth 1:28:37.160 --> 1:28:40.760 birthday later in the year. Well, stan would have been 1:28:40.840 --> 1:28:43.439 seventy eight today. He was born on this day in 1:28:43.600 --> 1:28:48.000 nineteen forty seven.

I would never have thought 1:29:24.720 --> 1:29:27.120 I would have ever had anybody in this radio program 1:29:27.280 --> 1:29:30.360 who is proud to be a socialist criminal. And I'm 1:29:30.400 --> 1:29:33.200 pleased to him that you've called up, because then people 1:29:33.280 --> 1:29:35.360 can hear what an imbecile you are. 1:29:36.000 --> 1:29:37.599 Like you no, I. 1:29:37.800 --> 1:29:40.840 There's no prize for second best, tim and that's always 1:29:40.920 --> 1:29:42.920 going to happen in your life, isn't it.

Following 1:30:24.479 --> 1:30:27.280 the disappearance of a woman more than thirty years ago. 1:30:27.520 --> 1:30:31.360 Magna Shabanski says she's undergoing the best treatment available after 1:30:31.400 --> 1:30:34.639 revealing she's been diagnosed with a fast moving, aggressive blood 1:30:34.640 --> 1:30:38.640 cancer stage four mental cell lymphoma.

In Sport, coach 1:30:57.160 --> 1:31:00.240 Dan mckella says the Warritors are embracing the top first 1:31:00.320 --> 1:31:03.120 challenge of their Super Rugby Pacific season. The Warritas master 1:31:03.200 --> 1:31:05.439 beat the Blues in Auckland to stay in finals contention, 1:31:05.680 --> 1:31:08.479 but they haven't won at Eden Park in sixteen years. 1:31:08.600 --> 1:31:09.800 We'll have more news and Sport at. 1:31:09.760 --> 1:31:11.800 Six Speaking Josh a little earlier, I was reading a 1:31:11.840 --> 1:31:14.960 commercial for Harvey Norman telling you about the security cameras 1:31:15.000 --> 1:31:17.679 they sell at Harvey Norman. Tell you what my experience 1:31:17.800 --> 1:31:20.080 last night shows why they're actually a good idea. So 1:31:20.240 --> 1:31:22.640 I i'd watched Date of Origin and we've got a 1:31:22.640 --> 1:31:24.719 two story house, and I went upstairs and I would 1:31:24.720 --> 1:31:26.320 have been about ten thirty. So I went upstairs in 1:31:26.320 --> 1:31:28.479 my room to go to bed. My wife was still 1:31:28.479 --> 1:31:33.000 downstairs watching something else. Anyway, I heard this really big bang, 1:31:33.800 --> 1:31:36.519 really big shutter and bang. I thought, is that our 1:31:36.520 --> 1:31:37.880 place is out at the front of our house, and 1:31:37.880 --> 1:31:40.400 then I heard all this noise. It sounded like a 1:31:40.439 --> 1:31:45.000 bunch of teenagers yelling and screaming. Anyway, so I've gone downstairs, 1:31:45.080 --> 1:31:47.000 gone out in the front driveway, and my neighbor the 1:31:47.000 --> 1:31:50.919 neighborhood had the problems of the water main that was bursting. 1:31:51.560 --> 1:31:53.080 He'd come out in the front as well. We both 1:31:53.120 --> 1:31:55.840 heard whatever's going on, but there was no one around. Anyway, 1:31:55.840 --> 1:31:57.639 I've gone back inside. I've said to cast my wife, 1:31:57.640 --> 1:31:58.360 did you hear that really be? 1:31:58.479 --> 1:31:58.719 Bang? 1:32:00.080 --> 1:32:02.679 Said, yeah, Well we do have one of those security 1:32:02.720 --> 1:32:04.400 cameras now at the front. 1:32:04.160 --> 1:32:04.719 Of our house. 1:32:04.920 --> 1:32:09.439 So the way it works is it records everything constantly. 1:32:09.439 --> 1:32:10.880 I don't think. I don't know how long it keeps 1:32:10.960 --> 1:32:12.519 it for. But Cas has got a nap on a 1:32:12.560 --> 1:32:14.519 phone and she can go straight to the security camera. 1:32:14.760 --> 1:32:17.639 So she went back, say two minutes, and she could 1:32:17.680 --> 1:32:20.000 see it was in the dark. But there's this bunch 1:32:20.040 --> 1:32:23.720 of i'd say teenagers for some reason. They'd run onto 1:32:23.720 --> 1:32:26.639 our driveway and they must have thrown something or given 1:32:26.760 --> 1:32:30.439 our garage door. It's roll down garage door, really big whack. 1:32:30.800 --> 1:32:33.160 And then we could hear them and they said, oh, 1:32:33.200 --> 1:32:36.160 look out, look out, look out. They've got security cameras, 1:32:36.840 --> 1:32:41.599 and then they ran away. Now, teenagers play silly buggers 1:32:41.600 --> 1:32:43.280 in the suburbs, so goodness knows what they're up to. 1:32:43.320 --> 1:32:45.840 And I don't think they were they had a clue 1:32:45.880 --> 1:32:48.120 who I was, or you know, whether they're friends, my 1:32:48.200 --> 1:32:50.800 kids or whatever. I've got no idea. But the fact 1:32:50.840 --> 1:32:52.640 that they had the camera there, they knew the cameras there. 1:32:52.640 --> 1:32:54.320 They could see a little red flashing light when the 1:32:54.320 --> 1:32:57.519 camera's activated. They said, oh, there's a camera, and they 1:32:57.600 --> 1:33:01.200 ran away, So they're actually not a bad eye. 1:33:02.280 --> 1:33:05.040 Finance update deb. 1:33:04.880 --> 1:33:07.240 Knight is presenting nine News tonight, but she will also 1:33:07.280 --> 1:33:10.080 be hosting a shortened edition of Money News because we 1:33:10.120 --> 1:33:12.760 will be featuring the third and final Women's State of 1:33:12.840 --> 1:33:16.040 Origin game line from McDonald Jones Stadium this evening, so 1:33:16.080 --> 1:33:18.000 we'll cover that game from seven to thirty. So deb 1:33:18.080 --> 1:33:20.479 Knight on from seven. But she's presenting nine News, so 1:33:20.600 --> 1:33:23.360 she's not with me at the moment. Positive day on 1:33:23.400 --> 1:33:25.680 the stock market. The All Ordinaries has finished the day 1:33:25.800 --> 1:33:28.640 up just zero point one five percent eight thy six 1:33:28.800 --> 1:33:31.840 hundred and thirty seven. The ASX two hundred trading up 1:33:31.880 --> 1:33:35.040 by zero point one five percent. Eighty four hundred and 1:33:35.200 --> 1:33:38.599 nine points one Australian dollar is buying sixty four US sense. Now, 1:33:38.680 --> 1:33:42.439 this is an indication. This is an indication that interest 1:33:42.479 --> 1:33:45.439 rates are going to start coming down again. The Commonwealth 1:33:45.479 --> 1:33:48.479 Bank today has announced their fixed rates as of tomorrow 1:33:48.560 --> 1:33:51.479 will come down again, so variable rates obviously they made 1:33:51.479 --> 1:33:54.040 a move and last week when the RBA made their decision, 1:33:54.360 --> 1:33:57.320 but their fixed rates will also come down tomorrow and 1:33:57.360 --> 1:34:00.360 that's appointed. The Commonwealth Bank believes that the Road Reserve 1:34:00.439 --> 1:34:03.040 Bank will also move the variable cash rates soon. 1:34:03.560 --> 1:34:06.960 On Sydney now, a weather update will be here to 1:34:07.080 --> 1:34:08.679 help in unexpected weather. 1:34:09.000 --> 1:34:11.439 Nrima Insurance a health company. 1:34:11.520 --> 1:34:13.560 The chance of a few showers this evening, but it 1:34:13.640 --> 1:34:16.320 should be mostly dry across the city Tomorrow though a 1:34:16.439 --> 1:34:19.120 mostly sunny day for Friday or top of twenty degrees. 1:34:19.120 --> 1:34:21.320 Looking ahead to the weekend, looks like a pretty good weekend. 1:34:21.360 --> 1:34:24.080 Little chili this weekend, but mostly sunny on Saturday with 1:34:24.120 --> 1:34:27.360 twenty and mostly sunny on Sunday and twenty and then 1:34:27.520 --> 1:34:29.840 into next week. The cloud and the showers will return 1:34:30.120 --> 1:34:32.879 Monday and Tuesday. But the good news is this weekend 1:34:33.040 --> 1:34:36.400 it should be nice and sunny. Hey, this is good news. 1:34:37.479 --> 1:34:40.160 Hungkrek Jackson Krispy Kreme Donuts, and we don't have any 1:34:40.160 --> 1:34:43.080 commercial arrangements with either Hungry Jacks or Chrispy Creme Donuts. 1:34:43.640 --> 1:34:46.920 They've announced tomorrow they're going to give away free donuts. 1:34:47.720 --> 1:34:49.760 Reason being they want to make it up to the 1:34:49.800 --> 1:34:52.360 traveling public for putting up with all the train delays 1:34:52.400 --> 1:34:56.640 over the past week. So they've confirmed that if you 1:34:56.800 --> 1:35:00.400 go into a Hungry Jackson you buy a coffee at 1:35:00.400 --> 1:35:03.960 the Jack's Cafe, just for tomorrow, they're going to offer 1:35:03.960 --> 1:35:07.720 you a free Krispy Kreme donut. The CEO Scott Baird 1:35:07.760 --> 1:35:10.960 says this Friday, we're turning the morning commute into something 1:35:10.960 --> 1:35:13.240 people can actually look forward to. We know it's been 1:35:13.280 --> 1:35:16.480 tough for commuters across the state lately with long delays 1:35:16.720 --> 1:35:20.880 disrupted schedules, so we're flipping the script. We're delivering delicious 1:35:21.680 --> 1:35:24.120 a win right start, right at the start of the day. 1:35:24.160 --> 1:35:26.640 So pretty crispy cream donuts. If you're going to a 1:35:26.720 --> 1:35:27.719 hungry Jack's tomorrow. 1:35:27.960 --> 1:35:31.040 If it matters to you, you'll hear it here. Sydney 1:35:31.080 --> 1:35:33.280 Now with Quinton Maynard until set. 1:35:33.400 --> 1:35:37.200 I wonder if my next guest has a sore head. Hello, 1:35:37.280 --> 1:35:39.400 Mark Guyer, good. 1:35:39.240 --> 1:35:43.160 Morning, Good morning. House on my head is? I thought 1:35:43.160 --> 1:35:43.719 it was morning? 1:35:43.760 --> 1:35:45.519 Now See I'm asking if you've got a seal head 1:35:45.520 --> 1:35:47.160 because I'm just wondering if you've you had a few 1:35:47.400 --> 1:35:49.880 celebratory drinks after the continuous call to and coverage of 1:35:49.880 --> 1:35:52.080 Origin one last night and it seems sorry that's the case. 1:35:52.560 --> 1:35:55.719 Well we say that wedn't get back to our hotel. 1:35:55.720 --> 1:35:57.720 It's about eleven and I might have had a couple 1:35:57.720 --> 1:35:59.760 of glasses of red wine before we was the bed. 1:36:00.080 --> 1:36:04.280 Think extreme, No, nothing extreme, it's well emphatic wing wasn't 1:36:04.320 --> 1:36:07.720 an eighteen points to six. I look, I think the 1:36:07.760 --> 1:36:11.240 score line, to be honest, flattered Queensland Clinton last night, 1:36:11.560 --> 1:36:16.439 being there live and watching all the extra curricul or 1:36:16.479 --> 1:36:19.120 activity that goes on in the rugby league field, they 1:36:19.160 --> 1:36:21.200 didn't look like scoring Queensland. They just didn't look like 1:36:21.400 --> 1:36:23.280 they had anything in them. A couple of times I 1:36:23.320 --> 1:36:27.719 went wide and Pomer got involved, but Sleephen Crichton's defense 1:36:27.840 --> 1:36:30.120 was just on shot last night. 1:36:30.160 --> 1:36:31.080 It was on one point. 1:36:31.240 --> 1:36:34.800 Yeah, I thought, I thought Crichton was absolutely outstanding last night. 1:36:34.880 --> 1:36:37.000 Well it could have been one of five players. Get 1:36:37.080 --> 1:36:38.960 me at the match last night for you. South Wales 1:36:39.000 --> 1:36:42.280 paying half Zach Limax was excellent. I thought I was 1:36:42.360 --> 1:36:46.000 aa with his first captaincy role. Was fantastic and set 1:36:46.040 --> 1:36:48.160 that turn in the first half. But yeah, look for 1:36:48.200 --> 1:36:50.920 Collings when they missed fifty four tackles last night. They 1:36:50.960 --> 1:36:54.080 had a perfect opportunity in about the twenty third twenty 1:36:54.080 --> 1:36:56.360 fourth minute mark when Spencer leen You ran onto the 1:36:56.360 --> 1:36:58.640 field and all this talk about they were going to 1:36:58.680 --> 1:37:00.280 get there, going out to get him and start and 1:37:00.320 --> 1:37:02.599 they look and they had heard a lot. He was 1:37:02.680 --> 1:37:04.720 back at the back fence and they could have kicked 1:37:04.720 --> 1:37:05.519 off to him, but they didn't. 1:37:05.560 --> 1:37:06.320 They went the other way. 1:37:06.360 --> 1:37:09.160 And I thought that was a poignant part of the 1:37:09.200 --> 1:37:11.639 game because I think they kicked a Spencer Leene who 1:37:12.240 --> 1:37:14.839 has been their antagonists for a while, and obviously Jonathan 1:37:14.880 --> 1:37:18.200 Thurston's antagonists. Well, they could have sorted some stuff out 1:37:18.280 --> 1:37:19.760 right there and then, but they didn't. They helped it 1:37:19.760 --> 1:37:21.080 to go the other way, and I think they missed 1:37:21.080 --> 1:37:22.760 the golden opportunity. 1:37:23.479 --> 1:37:25.560 Tell me though, and obviously you're a Blue and of 1:37:25.640 --> 1:37:27.599 forming New South last playout, if you were in charge 1:37:27.640 --> 1:37:29.920 of Queensland, your Billy Slater, would you make some changes 1:37:29.920 --> 1:37:30.519 to the team. 1:37:31.400 --> 1:37:33.040 I think they've got to. I think they've got to. 1:37:33.080 --> 1:37:37.479 I think I heard a stat today that eight of 1:37:37.479 --> 1:37:40.439 the last ten tries that Queensland have scored against r 1:37:40.560 --> 1:37:44.800 Wales have been against twelve men. So they've obviously got 1:37:44.840 --> 1:37:47.599 an attacking problem. I think Tom didn't when he came 1:37:47.600 --> 1:37:51.000 on last night was good. I thought he kind of 1:37:51.040 --> 1:37:54.080 straightened the attack up. And look, it's very hard to 1:37:54.160 --> 1:37:57.320 drop a captain and that's kind of where that's where 1:37:57.320 --> 1:37:59.600 the narrative has been today about DC and you know, 1:38:00.640 --> 1:38:02.600 I just go, I go further. Quinn I think this. 1:38:02.960 --> 1:38:05.280 We've been speaking all year about, you know, his announcement 1:38:05.360 --> 1:38:08.080 when he quite Eagles at the start of the year, 1:38:08.160 --> 1:38:10.960 and and then he's in limbo. But he said that 1:38:11.000 --> 1:38:12.759 he was going to he's been clogging to the Dolphins. 1:38:12.760 --> 1:38:14.519 He said he was speaking to the Rusters. But then 1:38:14.560 --> 1:38:16.840 he kind of backtracked out and said I shouldn't have 1:38:16.840 --> 1:38:20.000 said anything. So I just wonder where his headspace is 1:38:20.040 --> 1:38:22.559 at the moment, as far as not just playing rugby 1:38:22.600 --> 1:38:25.479 league or Start of Origin, but you know just where 1:38:25.479 --> 1:38:27.639 it is, because he seems confused at the moment DC 1:38:27.800 --> 1:38:28.800 and it's affecting his play. 1:38:28.920 --> 1:38:31.960 Look, he wasn't he wasn't terrible last night by any means, 1:38:31.960 --> 1:38:34.360 but it provided zero spark. And if I were the 1:38:34.400 --> 1:38:36.759 Sydney Roosters, I'd be looking at that and thinking, Hello, 1:38:37.200 --> 1:38:39.639 they've got two halves there at the moment Walker's still 1:38:39.640 --> 1:38:42.200 had injured. Their two halves are doing an outstanding job. 1:38:42.840 --> 1:38:45.600 Oh, they've been fantastic. The Roosters have been one of 1:38:45.640 --> 1:38:49.080 the teams of the competitions. You know, they've been sublime. 1:38:49.439 --> 1:38:52.360 And I look, obviously he's a he's a grad final 1:38:52.400 --> 1:38:55.439 winning Start of Origin captain player who just could not, 1:38:55.640 --> 1:38:58.040 you know, not back if he wanted to come to 1:38:58.080 --> 1:39:00.800 a club. But look, look I think I need some 1:39:01.479 --> 1:39:04.160 I think coeens Land without giving them too much ammunition 1:39:04.280 --> 1:39:06.840 against the Blues, I think they need some forwards and 1:39:07.000 --> 1:39:10.400 forwards like you know Jaden Sewer from the Dragons and 1:39:10.840 --> 1:39:14.320 maybe Corey Hawesbrough dry Arrow a little bit more Mongrel 1:39:14.360 --> 1:39:16.719 because I think our forward's watching it last night Clinton 1:39:17.400 --> 1:39:20.400 every time while I was around the ball, they kind 1:39:20.439 --> 1:39:22.320 of punched through that line. They didn't get tackled. You know, 1:39:22.439 --> 1:39:24.840 they've got there at the old footy terminology gays on 1:39:24.840 --> 1:39:26.439 your knees and on elows and they got up at 1:39:26.400 --> 1:39:29.200 they make the ground. So yeah, look emphatic was very 1:39:29.240 --> 1:39:32.160 quiet after the half the game last night, and very 1:39:32.200 --> 1:39:34.240 quiet on the way home with the big Man Darryl 1:39:34.280 --> 1:39:37.920 Browman obviously nursing his pride because he is an out 1:39:37.920 --> 1:39:40.760 and out Queenslander. I just want to say on Big 1:39:40.840 --> 1:39:47.920 d he gets absolutely mobbed in Queensland. I've known him 1:39:47.960 --> 1:39:51.160 like we played he played in his last year nine 1:39:51.160 --> 1:39:53.599 and at exceven that was my first year and we 1:39:53.640 --> 1:39:57.439 played in peder winning Green Final together. But when you 1:39:57.439 --> 1:39:59.800 go up to Brisbane and he's just like Will in 1:39:59.800 --> 1:40:02.400 the wall. This is the king obviously, but I'll tell 1:40:02.400 --> 1:40:07.320 you what. Daryl Brahman is the Prince. He's right up here. 1:40:07.479 --> 1:40:09.080 They love him, the big cuddly bear. 1:40:09.479 --> 1:40:12.160 Hey, just before we move off foraging. And now this 1:40:12.200 --> 1:40:17.679 is a controversial question, okay, but if you were Laurie Daily, 1:40:18.240 --> 1:40:20.479 would you make any changes to the Blues side? And 1:40:20.520 --> 1:40:25.160 I just say that because Queens then didn't play well. 1:40:25.160 --> 1:40:27.480 We've got to be careful not to fall into any complacency. 1:40:28.000 --> 1:40:30.360 Do you think he got the side right? Would you 1:40:30.400 --> 1:40:31.240 make a change? 1:40:32.439 --> 1:40:34.800 I wouldn't. I wouldn't know when you win what that not? 1:40:34.880 --> 1:40:37.800 When you win? So like it's our goal kickers on tonight. 1:40:37.960 --> 1:40:39.680 On last night we win, which is fair enough. 1:40:40.200 --> 1:40:42.400 That's fair. Look, I'd probably make some changes, but that's 1:40:42.479 --> 1:40:47.120 that's a bit. Look, they all played well. I'm not 1:40:47.439 --> 1:40:49.640 to be honest, I'm not convinced by Rhese Robson. I 1:40:49.640 --> 1:40:51.280 know he makes a lot of tackles, but I would 1:40:51.280 --> 1:40:53.120 actually prefer to see more of an attacking hooker there. 1:40:53.120 --> 1:40:55.160 I'd probably play out abby chorus out there, to be honest, 1:40:55.960 --> 1:40:57.160 but I would have put him there in the first place. 1:40:57.280 --> 1:41:00.360 Not to say Robson played badly, but he's one of 1:41:00.360 --> 1:41:04.840 those tackling hookers that doesn't do much. But you know, 1:41:04.880 --> 1:41:07.160 I think I think they got most of the selections, right, 1:41:07.360 --> 1:41:09.840 I guess. I still and I got to tell you this, MG, 1:41:10.160 --> 1:41:13.000 and you're the expert, not me. I still don't think 1:41:13.000 --> 1:41:14.479 there's room for two half backs in the team. I 1:41:14.479 --> 1:41:17.120 think Mitchell Moses played a role, but I think Jerome 1:41:17.200 --> 1:41:19.080 Lewell would play a better role in number six. 1:41:19.560 --> 1:41:21.360 You look, look at you. You're looking for a spot 1:41:21.360 --> 1:41:24.920 on the continuous call team. You are. You are controversial tonight. 1:41:25.439 --> 1:41:28.519 How can you change your winning bloody team? Mister Clinton Maynard? 1:41:28.920 --> 1:41:31.080 How can you go out and tell Laurie Daily You've 1:41:31.120 --> 1:41:34.280 got to change your team? But just kick quin But 1:41:34.320 --> 1:41:37.000 I'm just saying home deck for the first time since 1:41:37.040 --> 1:41:38.000 nineteen ninety seven. 1:41:38.720 --> 1:41:40.960 Mitchell Moses is half back and he had to try 1:41:41.000 --> 1:41:42.640 to fill a role that he's not used to and 1:41:42.640 --> 1:41:45.000 I think he did that. Okay, I think Jerome Lewite 1:41:45.040 --> 1:41:45.920 does that role better. 1:41:46.720 --> 1:41:50.760 Well, it's called the silent ryle And when if he 1:41:50.840 --> 1:41:53.000 was needed last night, Mitchell Moses, he would have been 1:41:53.000 --> 1:41:53.639 called upon. 1:41:53.640 --> 1:41:55.760 He was needed to kick the goals. 1:41:56.080 --> 1:41:58.519 Well, yeah, I suppose they did, but just quickly another 1:41:59.040 --> 1:42:03.960 in nur Land, Tommy Hazelton is facing up the twelve 1:42:03.960 --> 1:42:08.040 weeks on the sideline after undergoing surgery for a colarbin injury. 1:42:08.080 --> 1:42:11.400 Say we've sent our best, the big Big Tommy Hazelton 1:42:11.560 --> 1:42:13.920 is a cult figure and as far as players backing 1:42:13.960 --> 1:42:16.600 up with Origin over the weekend, I think Watrell is 1:42:16.640 --> 1:42:18.479 in a bit of doubt with a knee injury. Crichton 1:42:18.479 --> 1:42:22.479 has given a positive update saying he's all good. Tina's 1:42:22.560 --> 1:42:25.040 endowed with a badly bruins and cut face but insists 1:42:25.040 --> 1:42:27.599 he'll be back at ill back up and Brian Toyre 1:42:27.880 --> 1:42:30.040 has had ice on his ribs last night after the game, 1:42:30.040 --> 1:42:30.960 but he should be okay. 1:42:31.000 --> 1:42:32.639 So we've never been sent to the SCE In beneither 1:42:32.840 --> 1:42:35.439 Hey Women's Origin match tonight. We are covering the game 1:42:35.720 --> 1:42:37.960 this evening from seven point thirty. The kickoff is seven 1:42:38.040 --> 1:42:41.439 forty five from McDonald Jones Stadium in Newcastle.

Well, this information is just coming through, believe 1:44:06.040 --> 1:44:08.320 it or not. There's a drama on the train lines. 1:44:08.360 --> 1:44:12.480 There is a train that's suffering a mechanical problem at Paramatta. 1:44:13.080 --> 1:44:15.920 Trains on Platform two heading towards the Looe Mountains are 1:44:15.920 --> 1:44:19.160 now running twenty minutes late because of urgent train repairs 1:44:19.760 --> 1:44:24.880 at Paramatter.

We've been talking about stormwater drains, 1:44:29.800 --> 1:44:33.000 particularly in London Derry because Andrew, one of our listeners, 1:44:33.320 --> 1:44:35.920 did the right thing by his neighbors who were being 1:44:36.000 --> 1:44:39.000 threatened by a flood last week, used his bobcat to 1:44:39.040 --> 1:44:41.719 clear out a stormwater drain and now Penrith City Council 1:44:41.800 --> 1:44:44.479 is threatening him with a fine. Well, Penrith City Council 1:44:44.520 --> 1:44:47.439 has now responded to us.

Councilors 1:44:53.439 --> 1:44:56.599 areware of localized flooding in the area. However, the drains 1:44:56.680 --> 1:44:59.960 were responding as designed during the rain event. We continue 1:45:00.120 --> 1:45:04.080 to investigate this matter further. When inappropriate and unauthorized works 1:45:04.080 --> 1:45:06.600 are carried out, compliance action may be taken. This is 1:45:06.640 --> 1:45:09.960 for the safety of our community. Well, it's not inappropriate 1:45:10.240 --> 1:45:14.120 when a neighbor unclogs a drain so their house doesn't flood. 1:45:14.160 --> 1:45:17.360 I'd suggest to Penris City Council they do not issue 1:45:17.360 --> 1:45:40.600 Andrew with a fine celebrating your birthday today.

Couple of weeks ago, 1:48:42.040 --> 1:48:44.280 I had the pleasure of test driving a BMW X 1:48:44.360 --> 1:48:46.439 five for a week. And I've never driven the BMW 1:48:46.640 --> 1:48:49.080 X five. I have driven some BMW's, but not next 1:48:49.080 --> 1:48:51.200 five before.

When you drive, 1:49:05.240 --> 1:49:07.559 it doesn't feel like a large car. So coming from 1:49:07.600 --> 1:49:09.840 a small car to a large car, it actually was 1:49:09.880 --> 1:49:13.639 fairly easy. Steering is so sharp, the handling really nimble. 1:49:13.720 --> 1:49:15.960 It has so much power, love more power than my car. 1:49:16.360 --> 1:49:18.360 Very fuel efficient as well, because it was a diesel. 1:49:18.600 --> 1:49:21.719 The camera technology makes parking in breeze.
