WEBVTT - Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard – Full Show June 25th

0:00:11.119 --> 0:00:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Onto GV. This is Sydney now with Clinton.

0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:19.520
<v Speaker 2>Wednesday, June twenty five. It is Clinton Maynard here. Yes,

0:00:19.680 --> 0:00:22.560
<v Speaker 2>it is still windy. It is still pretty windy across Sydney.

0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:25.079
<v Speaker 2>Let me know where you are, if it's still really windy,

0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:27.760
<v Speaker 2>whether what's suburb you're in, Let me know how bad

0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:29.800
<v Speaker 2>the windy is. One three one eight seventy three old.

0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:31.080
<v Speaker 2>Check in with the weather bureau.

0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:31.520
<v Speaker 1>Just a moment.

0:00:31.520 --> 0:00:33.680
<v Speaker 2>But the whole city has been lashed all day and

0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:35.840
<v Speaker 2>I was outside the studios just half an hour ago

0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:38.240
<v Speaker 2>and it's still really windy in the inner city. Much

0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:40.639
<v Speaker 2>of the South Coast, the Blue Mountains of Southern Highlands,

0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:43.920
<v Speaker 2>the Golden Region, the Hunter Valley, northern New South Wales

0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:48.599
<v Speaker 2>all affected. But this is the definition of mad. Quite frankly,

0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 2>start raising crazy. People have been doing the bridge climb today.

0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:56.880
<v Speaker 2>I've been watching footage from the nine helicopter of some

0:00:57.040 --> 0:01:00.000
<v Speaker 2>very brave souls climbing the Sydney Harbor Bridge. Now, yeah,

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:02.240
<v Speaker 2>when you do the bridge climb, you are connected via

0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:04.759
<v Speaker 2>the little chain that clip the rope to the railing,

0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:08.600
<v Speaker 2>so you're well in place, you are secure. It is safe.

0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:13.040
<v Speaker 2>But come on, some friends of mine were driving across

0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:14.880
<v Speaker 2>the bridge this morning. We're concerned about the wind while

0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:18.240
<v Speaker 2>they were driving, let alone climbing the bridge. Coming up

0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:20.280
<v Speaker 2>on the show, the ceasefire now appears to be taking

0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:22.600
<v Speaker 2>hold in the Middle East after US President Donald Trump

0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:23.640
<v Speaker 2>started throwing around.

0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:23.959
<v Speaker 1>The F bomb.

0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:26.640
<v Speaker 2>Look, hopefully there will be peace to the Middle East,

0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:29.120
<v Speaker 2>but the reality is we've been living with the tension

0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:33.119
<v Speaker 2>for decades, generations. What's the impact going to be here?

0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:36.319
<v Speaker 2>Should we be worried about the threat of terrorism here

0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:38.600
<v Speaker 2>as a result of what's happening in the Middle East.

0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:41.280
<v Speaker 2>We'll find out Aldi is still the cheapest supermarket chain

0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:43.200
<v Speaker 2>in the country, but the gap between Aldi, Coles and

0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:46.559
<v Speaker 2>Wolves is actually narrowing. We'll talk about that. Lucy Zeliz

0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:49.000
<v Speaker 2>joins me after four point thirty. Susan Lee has made

0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:51.520
<v Speaker 2>her first major presentation to the National Press Club since

0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:54.320
<v Speaker 2>becoming the Liberal leader. We'll talk to Lucy about that

0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:56.560
<v Speaker 2>Mark guy with the sport, and I'll tell you what

0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:58.760
<v Speaker 2>what we'll do today. We are going to play two

0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:01.640
<v Speaker 2>GB's Winter Wheel to spin it with MG, because I

0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:04.040
<v Speaker 2>think MG can be a lucky charm. Your chance to

0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:07.000
<v Speaker 2>win in forty thousand dollars worth of cash and prizes

0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:08.480
<v Speaker 2>on the program, and we've been giving a lot of

0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:10.840
<v Speaker 2>money away on this show. Let's see if MG can

0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:13.560
<v Speaker 2>help us out the wheel a little later in the program.

0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:15.160
<v Speaker 2>You are my eyes and ears when it's happening in

0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:17.600
<v Speaker 2>Sydney now, so text me zero fourth x zero eight

0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:19.799
<v Speaker 2>seven three eight seven three. Have you say one three

0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:31.000
<v Speaker 2>one eight seven three. Well in Sydney now, it's windy.

0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:34.240
<v Speaker 2>It's very windy. Miriam Bradbury is from the Weather Bureau.

0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 2>Is this wind going to stick around for long? Miriam?

0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:38.600
<v Speaker 2>Good afternoon, Good.

0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:40.680
<v Speaker 3>Afternoon, and look, the forecast is that we'll see the

0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:43.400
<v Speaker 3>wind sticking around for the rest of today, at least

0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 3>as you've just been telling your listeners. We do still

0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:49.359
<v Speaker 3>have that view weather warning current. It does cover the

0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:52.960
<v Speaker 3>southern suburbs of Sydney close to the coast and stretches

0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:55.920
<v Speaker 3>down to Illawara two. But that warning does certainly include

0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:58.960
<v Speaker 3>the Blue Mountains as well. With those very strong westerly

0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:02.560
<v Speaker 3>winds barreling over the hills, we're seeing pretty gusty conditions

0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:05.080
<v Speaker 3>right across the city. But the risk of damaging wing

0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:07.799
<v Speaker 3>us which is wind gusts above ninety ks an hour.

0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:10.040
<v Speaker 3>It's the winds of that strength that really have that

0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:12.920
<v Speaker 3>capacity to bring down trees, tree limbs and so on.

0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:17.880
<v Speaker 3>That's most likely about the coast. So just looking around

0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:20.600
<v Speaker 3>the city area today, we've had a ninety six kilometer

0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:23.440
<v Speaker 3>in our august at Kernal, We've had ninety three kilometer

0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:26.880
<v Speaker 3>in August at Sydney Airport. But look, the expectation is

0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:29.400
<v Speaker 3>we should see these winds easing into this evening.

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:32.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm just having a look at the data from the

0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:34.800
<v Speaker 2>Bureau at the moment and so observatory. Hell, the wind

0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:37.480
<v Speaker 2>has been running its a west nor westerly direction forty

0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:40.000
<v Speaker 2>one kilometers now with the gusts of say twenty two,

0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:41.480
<v Speaker 2>so much lower than what it would have been a

0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:42.240
<v Speaker 2>kernel earlier.

0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:46.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's exactly right, those wind stats that I read

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:49.040
<v Speaker 3>out just before, mainly from around sort of that sort

0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:52.200
<v Speaker 3>of eight nine ten o'clock period this morning, So from

0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:55.080
<v Speaker 3>earlier on looking at the wing gusts from the last

0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 3>little while, it's sort of been maxing out at that's

0:03:57.080 --> 0:04:00.080
<v Speaker 3>sort of thirty to fifty kilometer an hour mark. So

0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:02.400
<v Speaker 3>that said, Sydney Airport's still seen a sixty one k

0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:05.000
<v Speaker 3>and our gust in the last ten minutes or so,

0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:08.320
<v Speaker 3>so it's definitely still blowy and the if you hadn't

0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:12.000
<v Speaker 3>noticed it, the wheather observations are supporting that too.

0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 2>And what about tomorrow, So.

0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:17.800
<v Speaker 3>Going into tomorrow, we are expecting much improved conditions where

0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:20.200
<v Speaker 3>the winds are concerned. That said, it is still going

0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:23.240
<v Speaker 3>to be pretty blowy out on the water. So for

0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:25.960
<v Speaker 3>anyone who is thinking about heating out to the beach,

0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:28.320
<v Speaker 3>don't get lulled into a false sense of security just

0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:30.200
<v Speaker 3>because the sun may be shining and it won't be

0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:33.360
<v Speaker 3>as windy as today. We do have a hazardous surf

0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:35.960
<v Speaker 3>warning current for the Sydney Coast, but as well for

0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:39.440
<v Speaker 3>the Hunter Coast with gale warnings anticipated. So blowy out

0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:42.000
<v Speaker 3>on the water and about the coastal fringe, but across

0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:45.320
<v Speaker 3>the city area it should ease back below those warning

0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:47.839
<v Speaker 3>thresholds and be a little bit more of a pleasant day.

0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:50.880
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for the information, Thank you, Miriam. Not a problem,

0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:53.920
<v Speaker 2>Miriam Bradbury from the Weather Bureau. This information just in

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:57.200
<v Speaker 2>from the sees. They have confirmed illwarra south coast. This

0:04:57.320 --> 0:04:59.960
<v Speaker 2>is the area hardest hit. They've responded to three hundred

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:03.200
<v Speaker 2>eighty four calls for help across the Sydney Metropolitan area.

0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:06.640
<v Speaker 2>It's ninety so still reasonably significant. A large number of

0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:10.680
<v Speaker 2>fallen trees and power lines. According to the sees this afternoon, schools,

0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:13.839
<v Speaker 2>businesses and homes have all sustained damage, mostly on the

0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:17.800
<v Speaker 2>South coast, mostly around Woollongong. A little further south, the

0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:20.800
<v Speaker 2>most damaging winds have actually been recorded in the Lambie.

0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:24.440
<v Speaker 2>In the Woollongong region, five hundred and ninety eight incidents

0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:27.039
<v Speaker 2>in total been recorded by the sees. Let me know

0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:29.080
<v Speaker 2>where you are and what it's like. One three, one

0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:30.159
<v Speaker 2>eight seven three our number.

0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:33.400
<v Speaker 4>If it's happening in Sydney, you'll hear it on Sydney

0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:35.479
<v Speaker 4>Now with Clinton Maynard.

0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:38.480
<v Speaker 2>On to gb The wild brawl outside of the Mertant

0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:41.279
<v Speaker 2>construction site in Castle Hill has now resulted in police

0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.680
<v Speaker 2>making several arrests. You would have seen the video by now.

0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:47.560
<v Speaker 2>Mark Leevy broke this story yesterday. Dozens of tradees fighting

0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:50.880
<v Speaker 2>wearing high vis well. Two people have now been arrested.

0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:54.680
<v Speaker 2>Detective Superintendentnomi Moore joins me from the Hills District Police Command.

0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:57.719
<v Speaker 2>Thank you for your time, no problem. Thank Quinn, You've

0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.520
<v Speaker 2>made a breakthrough this investigation today. You've arrested two people

0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:04.200
<v Speaker 2>we have yet, and they're the ringleaders, I believe.

0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:07.280
<v Speaker 5>Well, I believe that they are. They were the instigators

0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:09.719
<v Speaker 5>on the Monday and then returned again yesterday for that

0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:11.360
<v Speaker 5>melee that we've all seen the footage of.

0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:13.000
<v Speaker 2>So what happened on the Monday.

0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:18.000
<v Speaker 5>Look on the Monday, those two individuals attended there after

0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:21.719
<v Speaker 5>having been terminated on the Friday, in their subcontractors' roles.

0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:26.880
<v Speaker 5>They attended there with some hammers. Thankfully, they put those

0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:29.359
<v Speaker 5>hammers down before they engaged in a fifth fight with

0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 5>two of the contractors who sustained very minor injuries. And

0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.680
<v Speaker 5>then they fled before police arrived. And we've been investigating

0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:40.800
<v Speaker 5>this matter since Monday, and obviously it escalated quite significantly

0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:41.680
<v Speaker 5>on Tuesday morning.

0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:43.480
<v Speaker 2>I believe the twenty two year old and the forty

0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:44.520
<v Speaker 2>four year old are related.

0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:47.320
<v Speaker 5>We believed, yes, they are father and son.

0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:51.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so they lost their contract terminated on earlier in

0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:54.360
<v Speaker 2>the week. They tried to resolve it effectively, but they

0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:56.039
<v Speaker 2>thought they'd resolve it with hammers.

0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:56.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:58.800
<v Speaker 5>I'm not sure if it's a good way to resolve anything, Clinton,

0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:01.440
<v Speaker 5>but they did certainly, whether it was to resolve it

0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:04.560
<v Speaker 5>or for other means, were yet to work that out.

0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:07.799
<v Speaker 2>The video shows it's dozens of men who were fighting.

0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:10.760
<v Speaker 2>Are you still looking for others involved in this? Look?

0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.080
<v Speaker 5>We are, and you mentioned dozens of men. Quite frankly,

0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:16.400
<v Speaker 5>we're appalled this mob mentality behavior and the quiet streets

0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:19.480
<v Speaker 5>of Castle Hill. You know, it's a family street, good

0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:21.920
<v Speaker 5>people there and they've all been impacted by this. And yes,

0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:26.960
<v Speaker 5>it is our mission Foreshore to identify and take necessary

0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:30.800
<v Speaker 5>action against those that didn't participate actively in that incident yesterday.

0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:33.720
<v Speaker 5>So what we're looking at Clinton is in the next

0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:36.280
<v Speaker 5>couple of hours, I hope that we will be able

0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:39.840
<v Speaker 5>to share on our Facebook as Police Force Facebook page

0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:42.360
<v Speaker 5>some images of some people that we are hoping can

0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:46.520
<v Speaker 5>assist with our inquiries and urge anyone who are either

0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:50.480
<v Speaker 5>themselves or anyone who recognizes those people to contact either

0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:54.360
<v Speaker 5>Castle Hill Police or crime Stoppers and assist us in

0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:55.880
<v Speaker 5>continuing this investigation.

0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:58.160
<v Speaker 2>We'll certainly assist you with that, will broadcast that on

0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:01.200
<v Speaker 2>our Facebook and our social media sight as well. Thank you, Nami.

0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:01.960
<v Speaker 5>Thanks Centain.

<v Speaker 2>Detective is Superinatednomi warned she's heading up the investigation into

0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:07.360
<v Speaker 2>the brawler Castle Hills. So we've had a father and

0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:09.400
<v Speaker 2>son have been arrested, twenty two and forty year old Van.

0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:12.280
<v Speaker 2>They are believed with the ring leaders in this brawl.

0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:15.680
<v Speaker 2>After they lost their contract, they were terminated, but the

0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:18.760
<v Speaker 2>police are still looking to hunt down eleven other people involved.

0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:20.800
<v Speaker 2>They now have the video that will be released in

0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:22.480
<v Speaker 2>the next couple of hours. Will put it up on

0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:24.840
<v Speaker 2>our website to GB dot com.

0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:27.160
<v Speaker 1>Sidney Now on to GB.

0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:29.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, there's fresh hope of an interest rate cut as

0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:32.199
<v Speaker 2>soon as next month. With a release of inflation figures today.

0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:34.920
<v Speaker 2>The monthly inflation figure has fallen from two point four

0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:37.400
<v Speaker 2>percent to two point one percent. That is the lowest

0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:39.959
<v Speaker 2>level since the middle of the pandemic. It's also down

0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:41.960
<v Speaker 2>from this time last year. Last May it was four

0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:45.240
<v Speaker 2>point one percent. Annual inflation to the twelve months to

0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:47.800
<v Speaker 2>May is two point four percent, which is down from

0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:50.680
<v Speaker 2>two point eight percent. So this is well within the

0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:53.680
<v Speaker 2>Reserve Bank's target range now of two to three percent.

0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:57.000
<v Speaker 2>That's a good thing because rates can come down when

0:08:57.000 --> 0:09:00.079
<v Speaker 2>you're within that target range. The Good Doctor dot to

0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:02.199
<v Speaker 2>Jim Charmers the Treasure very happy about this.

0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:06.360
<v Speaker 6>It's the lowest headline inflation since the beginning of twenty

0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:10.319
<v Speaker 6>twenty one. It's the lowest underlying inflation since the end

0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:13.760
<v Speaker 6>of twenty twenty one, and also means, for the first

0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:17.280
<v Speaker 6>time since these monthly records have been kept that we

0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:22.240
<v Speaker 6>have seen six consecutive months now of inflation within the

0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:26.360
<v Speaker 6>Reserve Bank's target range. This means that the progress we're

0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:30.160
<v Speaker 6>making together on inflation is substantial, and it means that

0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:34.480
<v Speaker 6>it's sustained and these are very welcome developments. These numbers

0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:39.360
<v Speaker 6>today are very encouraging because they illustrate the progress that

0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:42.680
<v Speaker 6>Australians have made together when it comes to getting on

0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:45.440
<v Speaker 6>top of this inflation challenge that we have had in

0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:47.280
<v Speaker 6>our economy for some time now.

0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:49.960
<v Speaker 2>So Treasurer doctor Jim Chalmers claims the medicine he has

0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:52.400
<v Speaker 2>administered to us has been successful. Yes, it's all the

0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:55.439
<v Speaker 2>cause of the government. So what's driving inflation? What is

0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:58.680
<v Speaker 2>bringing down the inflation rate? Apparently it's fruit. Fruit is

0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:01.240
<v Speaker 2>cheaper at the moment. Vice of fruit has fallen by

0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:05.680
<v Speaker 2>two point seven percent. The cost amandarins down, oranges down,

0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:09.160
<v Speaker 2>apples and avocados. Plenty of things that we buy are

0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:12.760
<v Speaker 2>going up. In particular, coffee is increasing in price, coffee, tea,

0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:15.880
<v Speaker 2>coca prices up by eight point three percent over twelve months.

0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:20.480
<v Speaker 2>The ABS stats released today claim electricity prices have fallen

0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:23.480
<v Speaker 2>by five point nine percent in the last twelve months,

0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:26.800
<v Speaker 2>so down six percent. That is because of government rebates.

0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:28.559
<v Speaker 2>Well that doesn't yet take into account what's going to

0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:30.960
<v Speaker 2>happen next week, because, as you know we've been discussing this,

0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:33.160
<v Speaker 2>your electricity bill is going to go up next week.

0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:36.280
<v Speaker 2>Thanks to mister Bowen. Rents rose by four and a

0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:39.120
<v Speaker 2>half percent in the twelve months to May one, three

0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:41.600
<v Speaker 2>one eight seven three. Have you noticed, in particular that

0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:43.800
<v Speaker 2>fruit when you go to a supermarket, when you go

0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:46.720
<v Speaker 2>to the fruit and veggie stores, is fruit really cheaper?

0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:49.599
<v Speaker 2>Particularly avocado? Let me know. You can send me a

0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:52.560
<v Speaker 2>text message zero force zero eight seven three eight seven three.

0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:55.600
<v Speaker 2>This is Sydney now. It is Chile in Sydney this afternoon.

0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:58.559
<v Speaker 2>Sixteen degrees on the coast. It's also sixteen degrees of

0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:00.800
<v Speaker 2>most of the western suburbs fifty zen points seven at

0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:04.480
<v Speaker 2>the moment. In Penrith, six kids, and I say kids,

0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:08.560
<v Speaker 2>they're teenagers aged between fourteen and sixteen, remain in hospital

0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:11.800
<v Speaker 2>this afternoon. They're in the John Hunter Hospital in Newcastle.

0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:15.560
<v Speaker 2>As police continue to investigate a pursuit and a crash

0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:18.560
<v Speaker 2>near Raymond Terrace this morning. It's four o'clock in the morning.

0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:21.440
<v Speaker 2>The police are called to a unit in East Maitland

0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:23.880
<v Speaker 2>following reports of a break and enter. At the scene,

0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:26.559
<v Speaker 2>the police are told Honda Jazz has been stolen from

0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:29.680
<v Speaker 2>the property. Fifteen minutes later, some other police are patrolling

0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:33.560
<v Speaker 2>Miller's Forest. They cite the Honda there. It is well.

0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:37.280
<v Speaker 2>The driver didn't stop. Eventually there was a pursuit continued

0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:39.800
<v Speaker 2>only for about a minute. The car left the road.

0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:44.240
<v Speaker 2>It crashed five k's north of Hexham. Officers then rendered

0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:46.959
<v Speaker 2>assistance to those inside the vehicle. There were six people

0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:50.400
<v Speaker 2>inside the vehicle and this is what's staggering, although we

0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:54.720
<v Speaker 2>talk about this too often, four boys fourteen, two fifteen

0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:58.640
<v Speaker 2>year olds and a sixteen year old. Two girls fourteen

0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:01.800
<v Speaker 2>and fifteen a car that had allegedly been stolen in

0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:04.440
<v Speaker 2>a break and enter at East Maitland at four o'clock

0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:07.280
<v Speaker 2>in the morning. They were taken to hospital. They are

0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:10.679
<v Speaker 2>still in hospital. Police have been advised the injuries are

0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:14.600
<v Speaker 2>not life threatening. A crime scene has been established and

0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:21.679
<v Speaker 2>it is being processed by the Crash Investigation Unit. No

0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:24.000
<v Speaker 2>charge has been laid on that one, and too often,

0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:27.880
<v Speaker 2>too often, we are talking about teenagers as young as fourteen,

0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:36.480
<v Speaker 2>sometimes twelve and thirteen being involved in these police pursuits.

0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:41.120
<v Speaker 2>It is windy out there, Scott says on the text

0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:43.000
<v Speaker 2>line of the blow a dog off its lead here

0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:46.199
<v Speaker 2>in Engodeen. It was certainly very windy in angerdein this morning. Scott,

0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:49.319
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you that. Rob says, it's quite drafty here

0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:51.520
<v Speaker 2>in Boukham Hills. It might be time to get out

0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:52.160
<v Speaker 2>the kite.

0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:52.559
<v Speaker 1>Two.

0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:56.160
<v Speaker 2>A bit of fishing Western suburbs fly fishing. You'd be

0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:59.080
<v Speaker 2>flying away if you are trying to fish today. I

0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:01.880
<v Speaker 2>was driving past in Devor Sports High School this morning

0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:04.839
<v Speaker 2>in the Southern Shire, and there were and obviously, as

0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:08.160
<v Speaker 2>the name suggests, that's where the best young athletes in

0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:10.560
<v Speaker 2>the neighborhood go, and there were a group of girls

0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:14.320
<v Speaker 2>doing their sprint training in the wind. Might have been

0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:16.920
<v Speaker 2>a strong tail window. I guess they were wind assisted

0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:19.920
<v Speaker 2>in their sprint one three, one eight seven three. So

0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:23.520
<v Speaker 2>inflation's coming down, and based on what the ABS is

0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:27.079
<v Speaker 2>telling us, it's because fruit prices are falling, in particular mandarins,

0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:31.559
<v Speaker 2>oranges and avocados. Mario though, who's observed one particular fruit

0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:35.600
<v Speaker 2>is not so cheap? Hello Mario, Hello, Hello you what's

0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:36.360
<v Speaker 2>not cheap Maria?

0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:39.480
<v Speaker 7>Ten dollars fifty for tomatoes?

0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:43.679
<v Speaker 2>Akuilo? Yeah, ridiculous, isn't it?

0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:47.839
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, that is ridiculous because we've noticed the price of

0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:52.680
<v Speaker 7>fruit fluctuate over the last few weeks. But it just

0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:53.760
<v Speaker 7>seems to be going up.

0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:54.880
<v Speaker 8>I don't know where they get.

0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:55.440
<v Speaker 7>Their figures from.

0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:58.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and look, it's seasonal and it depends on the

0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:01.559
<v Speaker 2>flood situation in North what the Queensland has been through

0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:04.840
<v Speaker 2>as well. But to not align Mario unspotting the expensive tomatoes,

0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:07.839
<v Speaker 2>Greg says, one large tomato three dollars. That's not very

0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:12.200
<v Speaker 2>fruit you this one, well, this is more than ten fifty.

0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:15.960
<v Speaker 2>John says he's found in his local area tomatoes are

0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:19.400
<v Speaker 2>an averager fifteen dollars a kilogram. It's only going up.

0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:23.000
<v Speaker 2>I've actually taken to buying the cherry tomatoes lately. I

0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.480
<v Speaker 2>find that the punnets of cherry tomatoes are generally cheaper

0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:30.080
<v Speaker 2>than EurOMA tomatoes or the vine tomatoes. And it's going

0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:31.720
<v Speaker 2>to taste the same, but you use them in a

0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.120
<v Speaker 2>different way. Well, just talking about food, and we're going

0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:36.040
<v Speaker 2>to have a close look at this with Choice magazine

0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:38.600
<v Speaker 2>a little later this hour. They're for releast their comparison

0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:42.360
<v Speaker 2>of supermarkets today, and again Aldi is the cheapest. What

0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:45.200
<v Speaker 2>stands out about this research release today is that Coles

0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:47.720
<v Speaker 2>and Woolves have actually narrowed the price gap to Aldi.

0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Does that have.

0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:51.120
<v Speaker 2>Anything to do with all the publicity over the past

0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:55.200
<v Speaker 2>year about supermarkets ripping us off? Surely not. Have they

0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:59.120
<v Speaker 2>responded by cutting their prices? Coals Woods Suddenly their prices

0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:01.760
<v Speaker 2>are closer to Aldi. Very funny, that, isn't it. The

0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:03.520
<v Speaker 2>second thing that jumps out with the figures that have

0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:06.680
<v Speaker 2>been released today shows just how far away IgA are

0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:09.560
<v Speaker 2>from being competitive. And that's a real shame, because if

0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:12.200
<v Speaker 2>we're going to have a truly competitive supermarket industry, we

0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:15.200
<v Speaker 2>need a third player, a strong third player up against

0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:19.160
<v Speaker 2>Coles and Wars. Aldi's not it, I GA is not

0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:23.200
<v Speaker 2>it either. So based on the comparison of a basket

0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:25.400
<v Speaker 2>of goods purchased from one hundred and four stores in

0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:28.800
<v Speaker 2>twenty seven locations, this basket of easy to find groceries

0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:32.080
<v Speaker 2>costs fifty five dollars thirty five cents at ALDI, will

0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:34.880
<v Speaker 2>worths fifty eight dollars ninety two, So what three or

0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:37.840
<v Speaker 2>so dollars more Cole's fifty nine to ninety two, but

0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:42.200
<v Speaker 2>Aldi fifty five thirty five compared to IgA sixty nine

0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:47.200
<v Speaker 2>sixty four now IgA independent grosses Australia. They can't compete

0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:50.120
<v Speaker 2>on price, and they're independent retailers who are brought together

0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:53.560
<v Speaker 2>under a buying umbrella. Some of the companies, like Richie's

0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:56.240
<v Speaker 2>for instance, own a whole bunch, but others maybe only

0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:59.360
<v Speaker 2>one or two, and they can't compete on the price.

0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:01.720
<v Speaker 2>They just don't have the buying power compared to Woolworths

0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:04.800
<v Speaker 2>or Coals and then Aldi completely different business model. They're

0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:07.240
<v Speaker 2>selling so much of their own brands, so it's not

0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:10.720
<v Speaker 2>really a fair comparison. It's not a fair fight. Woolworths

0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:14.000
<v Speaker 2>has one one and twenty four supermarkets across the country.

0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:18.520
<v Speaker 2>Aldi has about six hundred. What we need is a

0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:20.960
<v Speaker 2>third player. Now how we develop that in this country,

0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:23.920
<v Speaker 2>Goodness knows how. We've had inquiry after inquiry and they're

0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:26.280
<v Speaker 2>just tork fests in the end. But if we're going

0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:28.800
<v Speaker 2>to put real price pressure on Coals and Woolies, it's

0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:30.800
<v Speaker 2>great that Aldi's there and they offer what they do offer,

0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:34.200
<v Speaker 2>and it's good that IgA has some availability, but they're

0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:38.080
<v Speaker 2>not real competitors. We need a really strong third competitor.

0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:40.280
<v Speaker 2>You tell me one three, one eight seventy three. Have

0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:42.440
<v Speaker 2>you noticed that Woolworths and Coals have actually cut their

0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:46.280
<v Speaker 2>prices in recent times? Clearly not when it comes tomatoes.

0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:49.280
<v Speaker 2>One three one eight seveny three the number. Just before

0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:50.880
<v Speaker 2>we get a news update, I just went to cross

0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:53.520
<v Speaker 2>to Michael, who's come across a big drama on Pennant

0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:55.080
<v Speaker 2>Hills Road. What have you seen, Michael?

0:16:56.960 --> 0:16:59.440
<v Speaker 8>There's a power plane leaning over on the American side.

0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Oh okay, so it's how tall woul that cromeber you reckon?

0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:09.920
<v Speaker 8>I'm fairly tall, but it's leaning over about or twenty degrees?

0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:12.439
<v Speaker 2>Oh okay, So this is the meriton. It would be

0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:14.760
<v Speaker 2>a home unit construction side on Penne Hills Road, is it.

0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:18.800
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, just down from Marsden Road and towards Paramatta.

0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:21.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, thanks for letting us now about that. That obviously

0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:22.920
<v Speaker 2>is caused by the wind. At the moment. We'll talk

0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:25.040
<v Speaker 2>to the police and emergency services off there and find

0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:27.280
<v Speaker 2>out what's happening in there. So it's Pennant Hills Road

0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:30.000
<v Speaker 2>there's a towel that is leaning about fifteen to twenty

0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:33.040
<v Speaker 2>degrees in direction of paramounts. It takes some care if

0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:35.400
<v Speaker 2>you're driving through there. We'll get some details off air.

0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:41.880
<v Speaker 2>Let's check out his headlines and with the latest Katie.

0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:44.720
<v Speaker 9>Fuller, Good afternoon, Clinton. A father and son are being

0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:48.359
<v Speaker 9>questioned by police over a brawl involving up to fifty

0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:51.800
<v Speaker 9>workers at Castle Hill. Officers alleged they went back to

0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:55.440
<v Speaker 9>the site to assault two workers who had terminated their contracts,

0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:58.840
<v Speaker 9>before returning the next day with a large group. A

0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:02.360
<v Speaker 9>nineteen year old man will remain behind bars after facing

0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:05.639
<v Speaker 9>court charged over a two vehicle crash which killed a

0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:09.880
<v Speaker 9>woman and an unborn child in Newcastle. The Federal government

0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:12.760
<v Speaker 9>is keeping Air Force planes stationed in the Middle East

0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:16.560
<v Speaker 9>in case they're needed for further evacuations. One hundred and

0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:19.919
<v Speaker 9>eighteen Australians have been flown out of Israel as a

0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:23.440
<v Speaker 9>shaky ceasefire with Iran appears to be holding and a

0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:26.640
<v Speaker 9>severe wind warning remains in place for Sydney, the Illawarra

0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:31.160
<v Speaker 9>Hunter and Great Dividing Rangers. About eleven thousand properties around

0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:34.320
<v Speaker 9>the Illawarra and South Coast are without power, while some

0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:38.000
<v Speaker 9>flights in and out of Sydney have been delayed. In Sport,

0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:41.760
<v Speaker 9>there's been a remarkable result at the FIFA's Club World Cup,

0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:45.159
<v Speaker 9>amateur team Auckland City scoring a one old draw with

0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:49.360
<v Speaker 9>the South American powerhouse Boca Juniors. A part time school

0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:53.000
<v Speaker 9>teacher scoring the equalizer for the kiwis Clinton more News

0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:53.800
<v Speaker 9>at four.

0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:56.320
<v Speaker 2>Thank you Katie. It's sixteen degrees in the city. Fifteen

0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:59.840
<v Speaker 2>degrees at Holdsworthy so Pennant Hills Road, Carlingford, there was

0:18:59.880 --> 0:19:03.159
<v Speaker 2>a crane. It is tipping. It certainly hasn't fallen over

0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:05.879
<v Speaker 2>at this point, but it's tipping about fifteen degrees tweaty degrees.

0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:07.880
<v Speaker 2>Hopefully the emergency services are going to be on there

0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:10.240
<v Speaker 2>seeing quickly. And this is all because of the wind

0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:14.399
<v Speaker 2>across Sydney. There is very strong gusts, particularly to the south. Still,

0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:18.200
<v Speaker 2>the wind within the city itself in Carlingford Paramatta District

0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:21.920
<v Speaker 2>is strong, but it's much much stronger in the south

0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:24.040
<v Speaker 2>at the moment, so take some care out there. The

0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:26.639
<v Speaker 2>SEES has already responded across the state to more than

0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:29.119
<v Speaker 2>five hundred calls for help. Peter Ford coming up in

0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:31.800
<v Speaker 2>just about the moment, but the ABS figures that have

0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:34.879
<v Speaker 2>been released today show that inflation is coming down because

0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:39.399
<v Speaker 2>fruit is apparently cheaper, in particular Mandarin's oranges and avocados. Well,

0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:43.879
<v Speaker 2>Harry says, certainly not tomatoes. Heirloom tomatoes the moment, seventeen

0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:49.480
<v Speaker 2>dollars a kidlogram, seventeen bucks a kilo for heirloom tomatoes. Now,

0:19:49.520 --> 0:19:52.320
<v Speaker 2>I know that the trusts are tomatoes, and the roma

0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:54.719
<v Speaker 2>tomatoes that I usually buy there around ten to eleven

0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:57.800
<v Speaker 2>at the moment, So maybe you need to find an alternative.

0:19:57.840 --> 0:20:00.639
<v Speaker 2>Antoinette Latoufe today has had a big vict in court,

0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:03.760
<v Speaker 2>a seventy thousand dollars payout following her dismissal from the ABC.

0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:06.800
<v Speaker 2>Peter Ford, our entertainment reporter, has been across this issue

0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:07.240
<v Speaker 2>for months.

0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:11.200
<v Speaker 10>Gude Peter Well, seventy grand won't go for too long,

0:20:11.240 --> 0:20:14.000
<v Speaker 10>will it. She'll run through that pretty quickly. But it

0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:16.040
<v Speaker 10>was a win, and I can't help but feel this

0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:19.000
<v Speaker 10>was very much something that she felt she had to

0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:22.120
<v Speaker 10>see through as a matter of principle, and a lot

0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:25.080
<v Speaker 10>of people who agreed with her, and she's got an apology,

0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:29.040
<v Speaker 10>which I suspect is probably equally important as any monetary

0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:33.160
<v Speaker 10>handover and she got that from the managing director, Hugh Marx.

0:20:33.520 --> 0:20:36.520
<v Speaker 10>Interesting to it would be very interesting to know, obviously

0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:39.359
<v Speaker 10>that was a pre prepared statement and apology from Hugh

0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:44.359
<v Speaker 10>mars whether the outcome had landed differently, if that would

0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:46.840
<v Speaker 10>have still gone out as an apology to her or not.

0:20:47.040 --> 0:20:49.480
<v Speaker 10>So she's fought a good fight, you know, it's been

0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:53.399
<v Speaker 10>eighteen months and being embroiled in ongoing legal battles like that.

0:20:53.520 --> 0:20:56.800
<v Speaker 10>When you are kind of a David taking on Goliath

0:20:56.880 --> 0:20:59.639
<v Speaker 10>as she was, that you lose a lot of sleep.

0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:01.840
<v Speaker 10>There's a lot of sleep when you put yourself through that.

0:21:01.960 --> 0:21:04.200
<v Speaker 10>So I hope she feels good about it. I don't

0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:07.280
<v Speaker 10>know where it'll take her career wise. I mean, she

0:21:07.359 --> 0:21:09.960
<v Speaker 10>may be a kind of a martyr today, but I'm

0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:11.920
<v Speaker 10>not sure you can make much of a career out

0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:14.800
<v Speaker 10>of being a martyr. So I hope good things do

0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:18.639
<v Speaker 10>happen for her eventually and she gets back in the business,

0:21:18.680 --> 0:21:21.720
<v Speaker 10>whether it's going to be mainstream media or not unless certain.

0:21:21.760 --> 0:21:23.960
<v Speaker 10>And I think the ABC also have to have a

0:21:23.960 --> 0:21:27.040
<v Speaker 10>look themselves and really work out, you know, should they

0:21:27.040 --> 0:21:29.600
<v Speaker 10>have pursued that in the way they have and run

0:21:29.680 --> 0:21:32.120
<v Speaker 10>up a million dollar legal bill.

0:21:31.600 --> 0:21:33.600
<v Speaker 2>Over in the end, what was an employment contract that

0:21:33.680 --> 0:21:34.359
<v Speaker 2>lasted a week?

0:21:35.160 --> 0:21:38.000
<v Speaker 10>I know, I mean, you know, that's a one week

0:21:38.320 --> 0:21:41.640
<v Speaker 10>casual employment gig and it's ended up with this sarga

0:21:41.680 --> 0:21:43.199
<v Speaker 10>that's gone on for eighteen months.

0:21:43.320 --> 0:21:47.200
<v Speaker 2>Look, I think mainstream media outlets may not jump on her,

0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:49.280
<v Speaker 2>but there's probably some fringe more and well, you know,

0:21:49.359 --> 0:21:52.280
<v Speaker 2>the way media has diversified and reason us, there's probably

0:21:52.280 --> 0:21:54.520
<v Speaker 2>some fringe outlets that will be interested.

0:21:55.119 --> 0:21:56.120
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, well I hope.

0:21:56.160 --> 0:21:58.920
<v Speaker 10>So you know, she's clever, she's smart, and she certainly is.

0:21:58.960 --> 0:22:01.280
<v Speaker 10>She's so on last day to m Marn's a very

0:22:01.320 --> 0:22:03.040
<v Speaker 10>determined woman. So good luck to him.

0:22:03.640 --> 0:22:06.760
<v Speaker 2>The death of the seventies heart from Bobby Sherman has

0:22:06.800 --> 0:22:07.359
<v Speaker 2>passed away.

0:22:07.760 --> 0:22:10.680
<v Speaker 10>Well, you may not hit the mark with you, Clinton,

0:22:10.720 --> 0:22:14.600
<v Speaker 10>because you're a bloke and you probably weren't interested, and secondly,

0:22:14.640 --> 0:22:16.280
<v Speaker 10>you may not be in the right age group for

0:22:16.280 --> 0:22:19.240
<v Speaker 10>a certain group of people. Today's a very sad day

0:22:19.320 --> 0:22:22.679
<v Speaker 10>because Bobby Sherman was a kind of a heart throb

0:22:22.760 --> 0:22:24.880
<v Speaker 10>or a pinup boys were used to call them back

0:22:24.920 --> 0:22:27.840
<v Speaker 10>in the day. And this is in the era of

0:22:27.880 --> 0:22:31.880
<v Speaker 10>your Donnie Osmond's and your Leis Garrett's. You know and

0:22:32.400 --> 0:22:35.840
<v Speaker 10>David Cassidy and his brother Sean Cassidy, and probably just

0:22:35.880 --> 0:22:39.160
<v Speaker 10>a couple of years before they hit they were kind

0:22:39.160 --> 0:22:41.800
<v Speaker 10>of more like seventy three seventy four. Back in nineteen

0:22:41.840 --> 0:22:45.359
<v Speaker 10>seventy seventy one was Bobby Sherman, Too good looking for

0:22:45.359 --> 0:22:48.080
<v Speaker 10>his own good, had a lot of big, catchy pop

0:22:48.160 --> 0:22:50.720
<v Speaker 10>hits that you're still here today. In fact, here is

0:22:50.760 --> 0:23:01.040
<v Speaker 10>one of them.

0:23:01.240 --> 0:23:02.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, he obviously had a bit of a thing for

0:23:02.960 --> 0:23:05.320
<v Speaker 2>Julie back in the day. Too good looking for his

0:23:05.400 --> 0:23:07.840
<v Speaker 2>own good? Peter, Ye, well, wouldn't we.

0:23:07.880 --> 0:23:10.760
<v Speaker 10>All wish to have that curse? But yeah, easy come,

0:23:10.800 --> 0:23:13.760
<v Speaker 10>easy go, cried like a baby. I mean, he really

0:23:13.880 --> 0:23:17.120
<v Speaker 10>was big time, and he kept that career going when

0:23:17.119 --> 0:23:19.160
<v Speaker 10>he sort of faded a bit as a pop idol.

0:23:19.400 --> 0:23:23.439
<v Speaker 10>He became quite a success, successful TV actor, and then

0:23:23.640 --> 0:23:26.160
<v Speaker 10>basically when that stopped, he thought, I've got to find

0:23:26.200 --> 0:23:28.679
<v Speaker 10>a new life for myself. So he went away and

0:23:28.760 --> 0:23:31.720
<v Speaker 10>studied and became a paramedic, and for the last thirty

0:23:31.800 --> 0:23:33.840
<v Speaker 10>years or so, up and until the last four or

0:23:33.920 --> 0:23:36.000
<v Speaker 10>five years when he's got older and he was sick,

0:23:36.480 --> 0:23:39.760
<v Speaker 10>he was working as a paramedic, literally saving lives every day.

0:23:39.880 --> 0:23:42.520
<v Speaker 10>So yeah, really good story. And you know one of those.

0:23:42.520 --> 0:23:45.680
<v Speaker 10>A lot of those pop stars who hit big then fade,

0:23:45.840 --> 0:23:48.879
<v Speaker 10>they end up as very sad stories. But Bobby Sherman

0:23:48.960 --> 0:23:49.640
<v Speaker 10>certainly wasn't.

0:23:49.800 --> 0:23:52.000
<v Speaker 2>I loved his stories about stars, whether it's a singer

0:23:52.080 --> 0:23:54.119
<v Speaker 2>or an actor or an actress who ends up doing a

0:23:54.160 --> 0:23:55.920
<v Speaker 2>normal job down the track. But to hear that he

0:23:55.960 --> 0:23:59.160
<v Speaker 2>became a paramedic, was actually involved in helping people every day.

0:23:59.160 --> 0:23:59.800
<v Speaker 2>That's wonderful.

0:24:00.119 --> 0:24:01.480
<v Speaker 10>Absolutely good on your Peter.

0:24:01.520 --> 0:24:03.600
<v Speaker 2>We'll talk tomorrow, Thanks Clinton, Peter Ford.

0:24:04.880 --> 0:24:05.600

<v Speaker 2>Good on you, Tony, Good on you for picking up

0:24:49.320 --> 0:24:57.480
<v Speaker 2>your rubbish or the wind beneath the rubbish. If you're

0:24:57.480 --> 0:25:01.240
<v Speaker 2>wondering why I'm playing a bit middler win beneath my wings.

0:25:02.000 --> 0:25:05.000
<v Speaker 2>It's funny how nicknames come about. In high school, I

0:25:05.000 --> 0:25:06.520
<v Speaker 2>had quite a few nicknames, you know what. One of

0:25:06.520 --> 0:25:11.720
<v Speaker 2>them was Bit. One of my nicknames was Bit. Do

0:25:11.720 --> 0:25:16.879
<v Speaker 2>you know why? I'll tell you next seven three It

0:25:16.920 --> 0:25:18.679
<v Speaker 2>is called A four. We've been in contact with New

0:25:18.680 --> 0:25:22.040
<v Speaker 2>South Wales Police about this leaning crane that's in Carlingford

0:25:22.080 --> 0:25:24.160
<v Speaker 2>penne Hills Road. They tell us they're on their way

0:25:24.440 --> 0:25:26.800
<v Speaker 2>right at the moment, and it's clearly this is because

0:25:26.800 --> 0:25:28.960
<v Speaker 2>of the gusty winds right across Sydney at the moment.

0:25:29.080 --> 0:25:32.200
<v Speaker 2>So it's near Shirley Street, penne Hills Road. I'm looking

0:25:32.200 --> 0:25:34.040
<v Speaker 2>at some vision at the moment courtesy of the Channel

0:25:34.080 --> 0:25:38.480
<v Speaker 2>nine helicopter. So it's at a major Merriton apartment's construction site.

0:25:38.520 --> 0:25:41.440
<v Speaker 2>And this construction site it's only in the relatively early

0:25:41.480 --> 0:25:44.920
<v Speaker 2>stages of buildings, so they're working on the underground sections

0:25:44.920 --> 0:25:48.280
<v Speaker 2>the foundations and the underground car parking of this particular building.

0:25:48.600 --> 0:25:51.320
<v Speaker 2>And there's a whole series of tower cranes there at

0:25:51.320 --> 0:25:53.720
<v Speaker 2>the site that b probably four of them I can see,

0:25:54.160 --> 0:25:57.080
<v Speaker 2>and one of them, and I suspect it's probably looks

0:25:57.119 --> 0:26:01.680
<v Speaker 2>about forty to fifty meters high. The main tower part

0:26:01.800 --> 0:26:05.240
<v Speaker 2>of the crane is leaning back. It's been pushed back

0:26:05.320 --> 0:26:09.240
<v Speaker 2>maybe fifteen degrees or so. Maria is in Carlingford.

0:26:09.240 --> 0:26:14.440
<v Speaker 17>Hello, Maria, Hello, I've just left Carlingford. I was going

0:26:14.480 --> 0:26:17.240
<v Speaker 17>down Pennett Hills Road when I saw the police putting

0:26:17.240 --> 0:26:20.919
<v Speaker 17>the games across Pennet Hills Road and I thought, oh,

0:26:21.600 --> 0:26:23.400
<v Speaker 17>it's peak our traffic here.

0:26:23.960 --> 0:26:25.119
<v Speaker 18>It's going to be chaos.

0:26:25.200 --> 0:26:26.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and they're going to heap to keep that section

0:26:26.760 --> 0:26:28.200
<v Speaker 2>of the road closed for some time. I think.

0:26:29.320 --> 0:26:29.520
<v Speaker 11>Yeah.

0:26:29.560 --> 0:26:33.640
<v Speaker 17>There was like numerous police cars stopping all over Pennett

0:26:33.680 --> 0:26:35.439
<v Speaker 17>Hills Road and I thought, thank god, I.

0:26:38.160 --> 0:26:38.879
<v Speaker 13>Would be stuck.

0:26:39.520 --> 0:26:42.199
<v Speaker 2>Lucky you, Maria, thank you. Yes, I'm looking at more

0:26:42.280 --> 0:26:44.520
<v Speaker 2>vision now. So they're closing that part of Pennett Hills

0:26:44.600 --> 0:26:47.320
<v Speaker 2>Road off. This is Carlingford near Shirley Street. There are

0:26:47.720 --> 0:26:50.240
<v Speaker 2>I can see three fire trucks there at the moment.

0:26:50.320 --> 0:26:52.199
<v Speaker 2>The scene The police are on the scene now directing

0:26:52.240 --> 0:26:54.680
<v Speaker 2>traffic at the set of lights away from this scene

0:26:55.080 --> 0:26:59.040
<v Speaker 2>because at that intersections where this Meriton massive Meriton construction

0:26:59.160 --> 0:27:01.800
<v Speaker 2>site is with at least four of these cranes. Now

0:27:01.840 --> 0:27:03.680
<v Speaker 2>three of the cranes look fine, Three of the cranes

0:27:03.720 --> 0:27:05.760
<v Speaker 2>look fine, and the lean on the tower of this

0:27:05.800 --> 0:27:10.280
<v Speaker 2>particular crane I'd estimate maybe fifteen degrees. So they'll be

0:27:10.280 --> 0:27:13.920
<v Speaker 2>be bringing crews in there desperately to secure that as possible,

0:27:13.920 --> 0:27:16.800
<v Speaker 2>but obviously that they'll need to prevent it from falling,

0:27:16.800 --> 0:27:19.439
<v Speaker 2>and that's why there is certainly no cars being permitted

0:27:19.480 --> 0:27:22.440
<v Speaker 2>to travel down that road at the moment until six.

0:27:22.760 --> 0:27:26.080
<v Speaker 4>This is Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard on two GB

0:27:26.600 --> 0:27:29.000
<v Speaker 4>call now one three one seven three.

0:27:29.880 --> 0:27:32.359
<v Speaker 2>Last week in the program, we're following closely the plight

0:27:32.480 --> 0:27:35.160
<v Speaker 2>of the five state government staff members who are being

0:27:35.200 --> 0:27:37.280
<v Speaker 2>threatened with arrest because they wouldn't give evidence to an

0:27:37.320 --> 0:27:41.200
<v Speaker 2>Upper House committee that's investigating the circumstances surrounding the caravan

0:27:41.240 --> 0:27:44.160
<v Speaker 2>discovered in Dural with explosives. Well Ben broke the news

0:27:44.160 --> 0:27:47.040
<v Speaker 2>this morning that they now have agreed to appear before

0:27:47.040 --> 0:27:50.199
<v Speaker 2>this inquiry on Friday, so that'll be Friday morning. The

0:27:50.240 --> 0:27:53.399
<v Speaker 2>three staff members of chris Min's and two of Asman Cantley,

0:27:53.400 --> 0:27:56.400
<v Speaker 2>the Police Minister, will give evidence and will be questioned.

0:27:56.400 --> 0:27:58.760
<v Speaker 2>So they had been threatened with arrest and how that

0:27:58.880 --> 0:28:02.520
<v Speaker 2>was going to transpire most confusing Ben Franklin, the head

0:28:02.520 --> 0:28:04.800
<v Speaker 2>of the Upper House, the President was seeking legal advice

0:28:04.840 --> 0:28:08.200
<v Speaker 2>because this has never happened before in New South Wales politics. Well,

0:28:08.320 --> 0:28:11.280
<v Speaker 2>the Premier today has spoken about it and he says

0:28:11.880 --> 0:28:16.560
<v Speaker 2>their potential arrest and the threat to arrest is potentially

0:28:16.600 --> 0:28:22.000
<v Speaker 2>a dangerous precedent. He says this could be in fact

0:28:22.520 --> 0:28:25.600
<v Speaker 2>a dangerous move for what may transpire in the future

0:28:25.680 --> 0:28:26.840
<v Speaker 2>for Upper House inquiries.

0:28:27.000 --> 0:28:31.280
<v Speaker 19>Effectively, they're unleashing the extraordinary powers of police or the

0:28:31.280 --> 0:28:35.359
<v Speaker 19>courts or the judiciary in the service of a star chamber,

0:28:36.760 --> 0:28:39.400
<v Speaker 19>in the service of what would be close to.

0:28:39.440 --> 0:28:43.720
<v Speaker 2>A kangaroo court. Chrismans the Premier, so that includes the

0:28:43.800 --> 0:28:46.400
<v Speaker 2>closest advisor of Chrismians. His chief of staff is senior

0:28:46.400 --> 0:28:50.280
<v Speaker 2>communications advisor as well. They will give evidence on Friday morning.

0:28:52.920 --> 0:28:56.440
<v Speaker 2>Seven three. We are talking about supermarkets after Choice released

0:28:56.480 --> 0:28:59.480
<v Speaker 2>their now regular three monthly update on prices and it

0:28:59.520 --> 0:29:03.560
<v Speaker 2>does find that coals and woos beginning to catch up

0:29:03.560 --> 0:29:06.200
<v Speaker 2>to Aldi, but Aldi is still the cheapest. Ashley de

0:29:06.320 --> 0:29:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Silver is the CEO of choice. Thank you for joining us, Ashley.

0:29:09.560 --> 0:29:12.120
<v Speaker 2>Thanks Clinton, you are now regularly doing this, so on

0:29:12.160 --> 0:29:14.600
<v Speaker 2>behalf of the government every three months. Again you found

0:29:14.640 --> 0:29:15.600
<v Speaker 2>Audi is the cheapest.

0:29:16.240 --> 0:29:16.760
<v Speaker 1>That's right.

0:29:16.800 --> 0:29:18.840
<v Speaker 14>So yeah, this is the start of year two for us,

0:29:18.880 --> 0:29:22.600
<v Speaker 14>but consistent with the first year, Aldi's the cheapest basket

0:29:22.640 --> 0:29:25.080
<v Speaker 14>whether you look at that wind specials or without. But

0:29:25.120 --> 0:29:28.320
<v Speaker 14>as you said, the gap between Woolworths and Coals and

0:29:28.360 --> 0:29:31.320
<v Speaker 14>Aldi is as much more narrow this time around.

0:29:31.000 --> 0:29:33.600
<v Speaker 2>Fifty five dollars thirty five for the basket of goods

0:29:33.600 --> 0:29:36.600
<v Speaker 2>at Aldi fifty eight ninety two at Wooers. When you're

0:29:36.640 --> 0:29:41.040
<v Speaker 2>comparing groceries, are you comparing the Aldi home brands with

0:29:41.360 --> 0:29:43.560
<v Speaker 2>the mainstream brands that the other supermarkets are selling.

0:29:44.280 --> 0:29:46.800
<v Speaker 14>In some instances we are. So what we do is

0:29:46.800 --> 0:29:48.880
<v Speaker 14>we kind of focus more on is the product that

0:29:48.920 --> 0:29:52.040
<v Speaker 14>we're comparing like for like and comparable. So in some

0:29:52.080 --> 0:29:54.520
<v Speaker 14>instances we're able to buy a house like a national

0:29:54.560 --> 0:29:57.840
<v Speaker 14>brand that even Aldi stocks. So chocolate drinking chocolate's a

0:29:57.880 --> 0:29:59.840
<v Speaker 14>good example of that. We bought the same one at

0:29:59.880 --> 0:30:03.320
<v Speaker 14>all Stawes. But in some instances, you know, because we're

0:30:03.360 --> 0:30:06.880
<v Speaker 14>shopping at Aldie and IgA, not all stores have the

0:30:06.920 --> 0:30:09.840
<v Speaker 14>same stuff. And when that happens, what we look for

0:30:10.000 --> 0:30:12.680
<v Speaker 14>is what's comparable, and we look at things like the

0:30:12.720 --> 0:30:15.760
<v Speaker 14>size of the product, the country of origin, sometimes even

0:30:15.800 --> 0:30:19.000
<v Speaker 14>the nutritional information. In some cases that is another house

0:30:19.000 --> 0:30:20.520
<v Speaker 14>brand product, but sometimes it's not.

0:30:20.800 --> 0:30:22.640
<v Speaker 2>Why do you think it is the fact based on

0:30:22.680 --> 0:30:24.880
<v Speaker 2>these statistics that wool works in particular, but Coles and

0:30:24.920 --> 0:30:27.240
<v Speaker 2>Woos are catching up to Aldie or narrowing the gap.

0:30:28.040 --> 0:30:30.760
<v Speaker 14>Well, it's a different basket. So we ran with the

0:30:30.760 --> 0:30:33.880
<v Speaker 14>same fourteen products for the first year, but as we

0:30:33.880 --> 0:30:36.120
<v Speaker 14>move into a second year, we wanted to reflect some

0:30:36.200 --> 0:30:38.760
<v Speaker 14>of the feedback that shop has had, which was a

0:30:38.840 --> 0:30:40.680
<v Speaker 14>more for us to focus more on some of the

0:30:40.720 --> 0:30:44.200
<v Speaker 14>fresh fruit and produce, which we've done with this basket

0:30:44.240 --> 0:30:45.320
<v Speaker 14>in quite a different way.

0:30:45.120 --> 0:30:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Of the first year.

0:30:46.400 --> 0:30:48.480
<v Speaker 14>So what we've got, we've still got. We're still shopping

0:30:48.520 --> 0:30:50.640
<v Speaker 14>at one hundred and fourth stores. We're still shopping for

0:30:50.680 --> 0:30:54.800
<v Speaker 14>fourteen items, but half of the basket will continue to

0:30:54.880 --> 0:30:57.720
<v Speaker 14>shop that same half all of this year, but the

0:30:57.760 --> 0:30:59.680
<v Speaker 14>other half will mix up and change.

0:30:59.680 --> 0:31:01.720
<v Speaker 1>To think each season, I.

0:31:01.680 --> 0:31:04.600
<v Speaker 2>Look at the IDA figures, it's sixty nine dollars sixty four.

0:31:04.640 --> 0:31:07.040
<v Speaker 2>It's it's a long way off any of their three competitors.

0:31:07.160 --> 0:31:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Is that simply because they have a very different business

0:31:10.040 --> 0:31:13.000
<v Speaker 2>model in the fact that their independent retailers under a

0:31:13.040 --> 0:31:14.360
<v Speaker 2>one buying group umbrella.

0:31:15.240 --> 0:31:17.680
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, and we do focus on the fact that IDA

0:31:17.840 --> 0:31:21.320
<v Speaker 14>is quite different business model, as you say, independently franchised,

0:31:21.600 --> 0:31:24.680
<v Speaker 14>which means that there's more variation in the product ranges,

0:31:24.800 --> 0:31:28.160
<v Speaker 14>pricing and even store formats. Though we have worked with

0:31:28.240 --> 0:31:30.280
<v Speaker 14>ij to make sure that where we can, we're shopping

0:31:30.280 --> 0:31:34.240
<v Speaker 14>at stores that are more comparable in terms of their

0:31:34.280 --> 0:31:35.760
<v Speaker 14>size and range to things.

0:31:35.800 --> 0:31:37.200
<v Speaker 1>Regality will worse and coals.

0:31:37.320 --> 0:31:39.280
<v Speaker 2>You know, I've as many of our listeners will have

0:31:39.320 --> 0:31:40.920
<v Speaker 2>then spent some time in the UK and you look

0:31:40.920 --> 0:31:43.120
<v Speaker 2>at the different supermarkets and the major change they have

0:31:43.480 --> 0:31:46.320
<v Speaker 2>bigger population of course, but to me it seems pretty

0:31:46.360 --> 0:31:49.200
<v Speaker 2>clear that until we have a really strong third major player,

0:31:49.680 --> 0:31:51.920
<v Speaker 2>we're going to continue to battle this issue.

0:31:52.280 --> 0:31:54.600
<v Speaker 14>Well, I think that that's that's true. You know, more

0:31:54.600 --> 0:31:58.280
<v Speaker 14>competition obviously to your point around you know, potentially better

0:31:58.320 --> 0:32:02.680
<v Speaker 14>outcomes for consumers. And it's interesting, you know Aldie's price

0:32:03.240 --> 0:32:07.280
<v Speaker 14>proposition you know, and how consistently they're pricing and able

0:32:07.320 --> 0:32:09.960
<v Speaker 14>to offer something different. But each model is different, right,

0:32:10.040 --> 0:32:13.960
<v Speaker 14>Coals and Woolies offer services at Aldie don't. Convenience is

0:32:14.000 --> 0:32:17.400
<v Speaker 14>still huge for people, so we often hear people saying, well,

0:32:17.400 --> 0:32:19.800
<v Speaker 14>that's good that they're cheaper, but actually I want either

0:32:19.880 --> 0:32:22.120
<v Speaker 14>national brands or I want these other services and I

0:32:22.160 --> 0:32:24.760
<v Speaker 14>can't get that at Aldi. So I think there's no

0:32:24.880 --> 0:32:28.360
<v Speaker 14>one version of a supermarket that fits everyone, but more offering,

0:32:28.840 --> 0:32:30.320
<v Speaker 14>more variety is a good thing.

0:32:30.600 --> 0:32:33.600
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for the information, Ashley, Thanks Linton Ashley de Silver,

0:32:33.640 --> 0:32:36.040
<v Speaker 2>who's the CEO of choice. I've got so much feedback

0:32:36.080 --> 0:32:38.280
<v Speaker 2>on this particular issue. Steve on the text line says

0:32:38.360 --> 0:32:41.480
<v Speaker 2>IgA doesn't sit out to compete on price. They pitch

0:32:41.520 --> 0:32:44.120
<v Speaker 2>their prices to capture as much of the casual customer

0:32:44.160 --> 0:32:46.480
<v Speaker 2>as much as the casual customer can tolerate. And certainly

0:32:46.840 --> 0:32:48.960
<v Speaker 2>the way their stores are set up is very different

0:32:48.960 --> 0:32:51.680
<v Speaker 2>to the mainstream supermarkets. Anthony on the text line says

0:32:51.680 --> 0:32:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Coals and Woolies are slipping in a lot more home

0:32:54.240 --> 0:32:57.360
<v Speaker 2>brands that don't look like home brands. That's right, they're

0:32:57.400 --> 0:33:02.160
<v Speaker 2>fairly clever with their labeling these days. Seven three. If

0:33:02.200 --> 0:33:03.400
<v Speaker 2>you want to have your say on this. I'm still

0:33:03.400 --> 0:33:07.360
<v Speaker 2>getting messages as well about tomatoes and the fact that tomatoes.

0:33:07.400 --> 0:33:10.160
<v Speaker 2>Despite the fact that the ABS is today found that

0:33:10.280 --> 0:33:13.240
<v Speaker 2>inflation is coming down because fruit prices are coming down,

0:33:13.400 --> 0:33:16.560
<v Speaker 2>tomatoes are bucking that trend. Well. Annie makes a great point.

0:33:16.760 --> 0:33:19.560
<v Speaker 2>Tomatoes are expensive because they're not in season. We aren't

0:33:19.640 --> 0:33:22.920
<v Speaker 2>meant to eat fresh tomatoes in winter. That's a fair point. Annie,

0:33:22.960 --> 0:33:27.040
<v Speaker 2>and I think we've become accustomed to eating fresh fruit

0:33:27.040 --> 0:33:30.160
<v Speaker 2>all year round, and then therefore we do end up

0:33:30.160 --> 0:33:33.240
<v Speaker 2>paying the price. In regards to cherry tomatoes appearing cheaper,

0:33:33.280 --> 0:33:35.560
<v Speaker 2>have a look at the price per kilogram in comparison.

0:33:35.920 --> 0:33:39.000
<v Speaker 2>You'll find it's maybe similar, maybe even more expensive than

0:33:39.040 --> 0:33:41.320
<v Speaker 2>truss and roma tomatoes. If you'd like to have your

0:33:41.400 --> 0:33:43.680
<v Speaker 2>say one three one eight seven three four to four.

0:33:43.720 --> 0:33:46.800
<v Speaker 2>Traffic is now a nightmare Pennant Hills Road, Carlingford because

0:33:46.880 --> 0:33:48.640
<v Speaker 2>cruiser on the scene and they've had to block off

0:33:48.680 --> 0:33:51.840
<v Speaker 2>part of Pennant Hills Road near Cumberland Highway and also

0:33:51.960 --> 0:33:55.240
<v Speaker 2>Shirley Street because there is a crane that is tipping

0:33:55.400 --> 0:33:56.080
<v Speaker 2>in the wind.

0:33:56.240 --> 0:33:56.440
<v Speaker 11>Now.

0:33:56.600 --> 0:33:59.080
<v Speaker 2>Emergency services are there on the scene trying to secure

0:33:59.120 --> 0:34:02.719
<v Speaker 2>this crane. It's at the Meriton site. The main tower

0:34:03.240 --> 0:34:06.480
<v Speaker 2>of the crane, the vertical tower is leaning back. It

0:34:06.480 --> 0:34:08.520
<v Speaker 2>looks to me about fifteen degrees. Now there's a whole

0:34:08.560 --> 0:34:11.200
<v Speaker 2>series of cranes. That's a really big construction site. The

0:34:11.239 --> 0:34:14.400
<v Speaker 2>other three cranes there look fine, but this crane in

0:34:14.440 --> 0:34:16.319
<v Speaker 2>the middle is the one that is tipping, that is

0:34:16.360 --> 0:34:18.520
<v Speaker 2>now causing major problems on the roads. We will talk

0:34:18.520 --> 0:34:20.560
<v Speaker 2>to Adam Dewbrey from Fine and Rescue New South Wales

0:34:20.600 --> 0:34:22.440
<v Speaker 2>after four he will be on the scene. Lots of

0:34:22.440 --> 0:34:25.160
<v Speaker 2>text messages here about supermarket prices, if you'd like to

0:34:25.200 --> 0:34:27.520
<v Speaker 2>send me a message zero four six zero eight seven

0:34:27.560 --> 0:34:29.680
<v Speaker 2>three eight to seven three. Elizabeth says, I actually stopped

0:34:29.680 --> 0:34:31.840
<v Speaker 2>shopping at Coals years ago. I switched most of my

0:34:31.920 --> 0:34:35.319
<v Speaker 2>shopping to Aldi. Neil makes a great point here. There

0:34:35.360 --> 0:34:38.000
<v Speaker 2>is a certain type of biscuit, it's a digestive. I

0:34:38.000 --> 0:34:40.440
<v Speaker 2>get it from my local Asian supermarket. The normal price

0:34:40.520 --> 0:34:43.240
<v Speaker 2>is a dollar eighty. The same brand was on special

0:34:43.320 --> 0:34:46.400
<v Speaker 2>at Coal's for two dollars a packet. The normal price,

0:34:46.400 --> 0:34:49.240
<v Speaker 2>according to Coals was three dollars fifty. If the Asian

0:34:49.320 --> 0:34:51.840
<v Speaker 2>supermarket can sell them for that price, and make a profit.

0:34:52.120 --> 0:34:55.680
<v Speaker 2>It shows how much profit the big supermarkets are actually

0:34:55.680 --> 0:34:58.000
<v Speaker 2>making at the moment. Great point. If you see something

0:34:58.040 --> 0:35:00.239
<v Speaker 2>around Sydney that we need to know about, that's a

0:35:00.239 --> 0:35:02.200
<v Speaker 2>word on the street. You can email me to gb

0:35:02.320 --> 0:35:04.560
<v Speaker 2>dot com if you'd like to investigate us to investigate

0:35:04.560 --> 0:35:06.600
<v Speaker 2>an issue for you, or if you would like to

0:35:06.640 --> 0:35:08.800
<v Speaker 2>tip us off to something, send me a text message

0:35:09.040 --> 0:35:11.359
<v Speaker 2>zero for six zero eight seven three eight seven three.

0:35:11.360 --> 0:35:13.160
<v Speaker 2>Word on the street is thanks to Temper, a great

0:35:13.239 --> 0:35:16.120
<v Speaker 2>night's sleep night after night. The difference is Temper. And

0:35:16.200 --> 0:35:18.360
<v Speaker 2>I brought you the news yesterday that there'll be a

0:35:18.400 --> 0:35:22.279
<v Speaker 2>meeting of Westmead Hospital staff on Thursday night. This is

0:35:22.320 --> 0:35:26.640
<v Speaker 2>going to be a meeting led by senior specialists, including gastroentrologists.

0:35:27.360 --> 0:35:31.920
<v Speaker 2>They are so alarmed about the state of resourcing, the

0:35:31.920 --> 0:35:35.200
<v Speaker 2>state of staffing at Westmead Hospital. They believe it's now

0:35:35.280 --> 0:35:37.200
<v Speaker 2>the time to have a vote of no confidence in

0:35:37.280 --> 0:35:40.560
<v Speaker 2>the CEO, in the boss of Westmead Hospital, which is

0:35:40.560 --> 0:35:42.839
<v Speaker 2>a big step to take. I've now been sent some

0:35:42.840 --> 0:35:46.319
<v Speaker 2>further information about more problems at Westmead Hospital. It's my

0:35:46.400 --> 0:35:50.520
<v Speaker 2>understanding and we are seeking clarification that as many as

0:35:50.600 --> 0:35:56.080
<v Speaker 2>ten interventional radiologists have resigned in just the last week now.

0:35:56.120 --> 0:36:00.239
<v Speaker 2>These are essential specialists in a hospital. Very difficult called

0:36:00.320 --> 0:36:03.280
<v Speaker 2>to run your hospital without the right number of radiologists.

0:36:03.400 --> 0:36:06.160
<v Speaker 2>They are needed. But my information is that ten have

0:36:06.280 --> 0:36:10.120
<v Speaker 2>resigned in just the last week now. We're seeking official

0:36:10.160 --> 0:36:13.719
<v Speaker 2>clarification from the local area Health District. But given there's

0:36:13.760 --> 0:36:16.200
<v Speaker 2>going to be a vote of no confidence tomorrow night

0:36:16.280 --> 0:36:18.880
<v Speaker 2>at Westmead Hospital, it just adds to the issues that

0:36:18.920 --> 0:36:20.160
<v Speaker 2>are being suffered at that hospital.

0:36:20.719 --> 0:36:25.040
<v Speaker 4>You're listening to Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard on TGB

0:36:25.280 --> 0:36:27.719
<v Speaker 4>cong Now one three one, page seven three.

0:36:28.120 --> 0:36:35.120
<v Speaker 2>A little earlier, I had an odd nickname in high school.

0:36:37.560 --> 0:36:40.640
<v Speaker 2>Some friends of mine started calling me Bet. Started in

0:36:40.680 --> 0:36:42.840
<v Speaker 2>about year eight when I was in school. I couldn't

0:36:42.840 --> 0:36:46.200
<v Speaker 2>figure out why. Apparently I looked like Bette Midler. Growing

0:36:46.280 --> 0:36:51.400
<v Speaker 2>up as a teenage boy, I resembled Bette Midler. I

0:36:51.440 --> 0:36:54.759
<v Speaker 2>had very curly hair, very long, curly hair, and it

0:36:54.800 --> 0:36:57.279
<v Speaker 2>was quite high, a little bit like Kramer, which would

0:36:57.280 --> 0:36:58.719
<v Speaker 2>have been a better nickname than they thought. Now you

0:36:58.760 --> 0:37:01.040
<v Speaker 2>look like Bette Midler's that was nickname in high school.

0:37:01.320 --> 0:37:04.600
<v Speaker 2>Bit coming up after the news will cross to Callingford

0:37:04.600 --> 0:37:06.720
<v Speaker 2>with the latest on the crane.

0:37:10.200 --> 0:37:14.720
<v Speaker 1>This is Sydney now with Clinton on to GMB.

0:37:15.000 --> 0:37:17.520
<v Speaker 2>It is a very windy and busy afternoon across Sydney.

0:37:17.520 --> 0:37:19.600
<v Speaker 2>When you see something around our city, let me know

0:37:19.640 --> 0:37:22.360
<v Speaker 2>about it. One three one eight seven three And Simon

0:37:22.360 --> 0:37:25.320
<v Speaker 2>has come across a big drama on the spit. Simon,

0:37:25.400 --> 0:37:26.200
<v Speaker 2>what have you found?

0:37:27.200 --> 0:37:29.560
<v Speaker 20>Good day, Clinton. Yeah, I was just driving up the

0:37:29.560 --> 0:37:31.799
<v Speaker 20>skid hill and there was a semi trailer taking up

0:37:31.800 --> 0:37:34.960
<v Speaker 20>two lanes, that was walking two lanes just at the

0:37:35.000 --> 0:37:37.680
<v Speaker 20>second turn, heading towards the heading towards the city.

0:37:38.080 --> 0:37:40.480
<v Speaker 2>Gee, that's going to be a night around and that's.

0:37:40.320 --> 0:37:41.200
<v Speaker 20>Going to be a nightmare.

0:37:41.280 --> 0:37:44.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, absolutely, okay, And once a semi trailers broken down,

0:37:44.320 --> 0:37:46.160
<v Speaker 2>it takes a long time to get them moving again.

0:37:47.200 --> 0:37:47.600
<v Speaker 11>That's right.

0:37:47.880 --> 0:37:50.000
<v Speaker 20>The old mate drive of a pretty upset. I think

0:37:50.000 --> 0:37:52.400
<v Speaker 20>he might have been. He was laying out all these reflectors.

0:37:52.440 --> 0:37:56.240
<v Speaker 20>So morning, everybody coming around the hill up there.

0:37:56.280 --> 0:37:58.600
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for letting us know about that. So please avoid

0:37:58.640 --> 0:38:00.680
<v Speaker 2>the spit for the next couple of hours if you can.

0:38:00.719 --> 0:38:03.520
<v Speaker 2>We'll bring more details in our traffic reports throughout the afternoon.

0:38:03.680 --> 0:38:05.920
<v Speaker 2>Rick think if your message, Ri's just letting me know

0:38:06.320 --> 0:38:11.640
<v Speaker 2>Heathcote Road. So This is between the Lucas Heights area

0:38:12.360 --> 0:38:16.120
<v Speaker 2>and Heathcote, about a k before you get to new

0:38:16.160 --> 0:38:20.120
<v Speaker 2>Elaworra Road. Okay, eastbound, there is a cover that's fallen off,

0:38:20.120 --> 0:38:22.840
<v Speaker 2>a ute torn o cover, a tarp. It is sitting

0:38:22.880 --> 0:38:26.160
<v Speaker 2>on the fast lane of one of the lanes eastbounds.

0:38:26.239 --> 0:38:28.160
<v Speaker 2>So that is going to cause some problems if you

0:38:28.239 --> 0:38:30.080
<v Speaker 2>run over the top of it, so steer clear of that.

0:38:30.320 --> 0:38:32.839
<v Speaker 2>Some good news about Heathcaree Road. It's closed every night

0:38:32.880 --> 0:38:36.279
<v Speaker 2>at the moment for critical upgrades. The service New South

0:38:36.280 --> 0:38:39.080
<v Speaker 2>Wales Transport new SO officials confirmed to us this morning

0:38:39.160 --> 0:38:40.960
<v Speaker 2>they're going to keep it open this weekend. You know,

0:38:41.080 --> 0:38:43.960
<v Speaker 2>usually Heathcote Road is completely closed across the weekend. It

0:38:44.000 --> 0:38:45.360
<v Speaker 2>will be open this weekend.

0:38:46.280 --> 0:38:48.160
<v Speaker 1>Sitting now on t G.

0:38:48.440 --> 0:38:50.719
<v Speaker 2>Okay, let's go straight out to Carlingford where there is

0:38:50.800 --> 0:38:54.239
<v Speaker 2>a crane at a Meriton construction site on Pennant Hills

0:38:54.360 --> 0:38:57.520
<v Speaker 2>Road that has been threatening to topple over the last

0:38:57.520 --> 0:38:59.319
<v Speaker 2>hour or so. Adam Duberry is now on the scene

0:38:59.320 --> 0:39:01.040
<v Speaker 2>from Fine and Rest in New South Wales. Adam, can

0:39:01.040 --> 0:39:02.000
<v Speaker 2>you see the crane?

0:39:02.680 --> 0:39:04.960
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, I can. Clinton does have a bit of a

0:39:05.040 --> 0:39:07.680
<v Speaker 11>lien on the precarious lien, so there is a concern

0:39:07.760 --> 0:39:11.359
<v Speaker 11>that this could collapse. Kenned Hills Road is closed in

0:39:11.400 --> 0:39:15.560
<v Speaker 11>both directions because his crane could topple either way, so

0:39:16.040 --> 0:39:19.359
<v Speaker 11>massive impacts, so people avoid the area if possible. We're

0:39:19.400 --> 0:39:24.319
<v Speaker 11>also initiated evacuations down off Pennet Hills rate at the

0:39:24.360 --> 0:39:28.640
<v Speaker 11>rear around Shirley, some residential apartments and some retail outlets

0:39:28.680 --> 0:39:31.360
<v Speaker 11>as well. But we've got a number of fire rescue

0:39:31.440 --> 0:39:35.759
<v Speaker 11>resources here, rescue trucks, technical rescue trucks will have specialists here.

0:39:35.800 --> 0:39:39.600
<v Speaker 11>We're also being supported by ployee Highlight Patrol Command who

0:39:39.600 --> 0:39:43.160
<v Speaker 11>are also working. The traffic ambulance are on standby. So

0:39:43.200 --> 0:39:47.880
<v Speaker 11>it's a pretty big operation. Although stable at the moment.

0:39:47.920 --> 0:39:50.919
<v Speaker 11>We've got no injuries reported, but this crane, but these

0:39:50.920 --> 0:39:55.160
<v Speaker 11>winds that is gusting pretty high up here, could come down.

0:39:55.239 --> 0:39:59.320
<v Speaker 11>I believe a couple of the anchor bolts have failed,

0:40:00.120 --> 0:40:03.560
<v Speaker 11>which has helped to cause this crane to lean in

0:40:03.600 --> 0:40:05.440
<v Speaker 11>a precarious position.

0:40:05.640 --> 0:40:08.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm having a look at some pictures right now. The crane,

0:40:08.200 --> 0:40:12.680
<v Speaker 2>so it's probably about forty meters high and it's the

0:40:12.680 --> 0:40:15.320
<v Speaker 2>main vertical part of the crane which is just leaning

0:40:15.400 --> 0:40:18.120
<v Speaker 2>back probably about fifteen degrees or so, I'd say.

0:40:18.920 --> 0:40:22.560
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, that's right. It's one of those residential construction crane

0:40:22.640 --> 0:40:25.080
<v Speaker 11>you see all over Sydney. It's like a teepeece so

0:40:25.160 --> 0:40:27.440
<v Speaker 11>it's got the counterweight at one end and it's got

0:40:27.440 --> 0:40:30.160
<v Speaker 11>the front boom where the layer gets lifted and it

0:40:30.360 --> 0:40:34.360
<v Speaker 11>is leaning towards the rear where that counterweight is. But

0:40:34.960 --> 0:40:39.840
<v Speaker 11>look the situation stable. Unfortunately, Pennant Pills Rate has to

0:40:39.880 --> 0:40:42.720
<v Speaker 11>be closed to the safety of the motorists and evacuations

0:40:42.719 --> 0:40:46.120
<v Speaker 11>occurring in and around the local area. So no injuries,

0:40:46.120 --> 0:40:49.640
<v Speaker 11>but unfortunately it's going to be very inconvenient for a

0:40:49.640 --> 0:40:51.880
<v Speaker 11>lot of motorist this afternoon and the residents that have

0:40:51.920 --> 0:40:53.120
<v Speaker 11>been evacuated as well.

0:40:53.200 --> 0:40:54.960
<v Speaker 2>Thank you for the information, Adam. We'll check back in

0:40:55.040 --> 0:40:57.480
<v Speaker 2>later in the program for the latest. Superintendent Adam Deubrey

0:40:57.480 --> 0:40:59.480
<v Speaker 2>from Fire and Risking New South Wales. So just repuating.

0:41:00.000 --> 0:41:03.239
<v Speaker 2>Bills Road is actually closed completely both directions, just near

0:41:03.320 --> 0:41:06.320
<v Speaker 2>Shirley Street. This is also aundy of the Cumberland Highway,

0:41:06.400 --> 0:41:09.280
<v Speaker 2>so the intersection with the Cumberland Highway is really busy

0:41:09.520 --> 0:41:11.360
<v Speaker 2>at the moment and it's going to be closed for

0:41:11.400 --> 0:41:13.160
<v Speaker 2>some time because it's going to take a while to

0:41:13.560 --> 0:41:16.600
<v Speaker 2>ensure this crane is secure. They are working there at

0:41:16.600 --> 0:41:18.759
<v Speaker 2>the moment. It seems that some of those anchor bolts though,

0:41:18.760 --> 0:41:21.359
<v Speaker 2>have come loose with this particular crane. There are four

0:41:21.400 --> 0:41:24.200
<v Speaker 2>cranes on the construction site. It's a huge construction site.

0:41:24.320 --> 0:41:26.239
<v Speaker 2>It's a big merriton site and they're only at the

0:41:26.239 --> 0:41:28.880
<v Speaker 2>early stages of the development, so they've been working. It

0:41:28.920 --> 0:41:31.520
<v Speaker 2>looks like they're working on the underground car parking areas

0:41:31.520 --> 0:41:34.560
<v Speaker 2>of what will do this huge residential development on Pennell

0:41:34.600 --> 0:41:36.440
<v Speaker 2>Hills Road. So it's going to take a little bit

0:41:36.440 --> 0:41:38.719
<v Speaker 2>of time to secure the crane. That'll mean that Pennehills

0:41:38.840 --> 0:41:41.040
<v Speaker 2>Road will be shut for a few hours. The wind

0:41:41.120 --> 0:41:43.840
<v Speaker 2>is causing damage right across the state. The SEES so

0:41:43.960 --> 0:41:46.279
<v Speaker 2>far is responded to more than six hundred calls for help.

0:41:46.480 --> 0:41:49.959
<v Speaker 2>There've been businesses that have been damaged, homes, schools as well,

0:41:50.120 --> 0:41:53.239
<v Speaker 2>mostly fallen trees and power lines. So so far in

0:41:53.280 --> 0:41:56.239
<v Speaker 2>Sydney about ninety calls for help. The illawar on the

0:41:56.280 --> 0:41:58.840
<v Speaker 2>south coast is where most of the damage is being recorded.

0:41:59.000 --> 0:42:02.160
<v Speaker 2>The SEES respond to three hundred and eighty four calls

0:42:02.200 --> 0:42:02.800
<v Speaker 2>for help.

0:42:03.560 --> 0:42:05.640
<v Speaker 1>Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard.

0:42:05.920 --> 0:42:08.560
<v Speaker 21>If it's happening in your city, you'll hear it on

0:42:08.719 --> 0:42:11.000
<v Speaker 21>Sydney Now to GenB Well.

0:42:11.000 --> 0:42:13.160
<v Speaker 2>Over the past few hours, the cease far in the

0:42:13.200 --> 0:42:16.920
<v Speaker 2>Middle East appears to be holding, which is good news,

0:42:17.200 --> 0:42:19.880
<v Speaker 2>but there's going to be an ongoing concern about even

0:42:19.920 --> 0:42:22.200
<v Speaker 2>if there is peace in the Middle East that has

0:42:22.239 --> 0:42:25.640
<v Speaker 2>brought over the coming weeks, even if tensions do start

0:42:25.920 --> 0:42:27.640
<v Speaker 2>to ease in the Middle East, I think there is

0:42:27.680 --> 0:42:29.680
<v Speaker 2>going to be deep concern about what the effect is

0:42:29.719 --> 0:42:33.480
<v Speaker 2>going to be on potential terrorism around the world. It's

0:42:33.520 --> 0:42:37.400
<v Speaker 2>been revealed today that Sydney commuters are going to be

0:42:37.520 --> 0:42:41.080
<v Speaker 2>urged to report any signs of terrorism on our train network,

0:42:41.360 --> 0:42:43.160
<v Speaker 2>and this is a campaign that is backed by the

0:42:43.160 --> 0:42:46.160
<v Speaker 2>federal government. The Home Affairsman is to Tony Burke has

0:42:46.239 --> 0:42:48.120
<v Speaker 2>lent his support to a Transport for the New South

0:42:48.120 --> 0:42:50.640
<v Speaker 2>Wales campaign that's going to be rolled out on trains

0:42:50.640 --> 0:42:53.800
<v Speaker 2>in particular, which is going to boost awareness of terrorism

0:42:53.840 --> 0:42:57.239
<v Speaker 2>and foreign interference. There will be announcements on public transport

0:42:57.480 --> 0:43:00.239
<v Speaker 2>for the next few months that will point commune to

0:43:00.280 --> 0:43:03.560
<v Speaker 2>the National Security Hotline. Sort of reminds me of the

0:43:03.640 --> 0:43:07.400
<v Speaker 2>days when John Howard was Prime Minister be alert but

0:43:07.480 --> 0:43:10.839
<v Speaker 2>not alarmed. I want to talk to Michael Schubridge about this.

0:43:10.920 --> 0:43:14.880
<v Speaker 2>Michael Schubridge is from Tastegic Analysis Australia. He is an

0:43:14.920 --> 0:43:16.919
<v Speaker 2>expert on these issues and joins us KA.

0:43:16.960 --> 0:43:19.080
<v Speaker 13>Michael, Hey, Clinton, how are you.

0:43:19.360 --> 0:43:23.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm good. Just firstly, broadly, given that we do have

0:43:23.440 --> 0:43:26.640
<v Speaker 2>appears the early stages of a ceasefire, should we be

0:43:26.719 --> 0:43:29.600
<v Speaker 2>concerned that there could still be terrorist acts around the

0:43:29.640 --> 0:43:32.400
<v Speaker 2>world and in our country? Well?

0:43:32.520 --> 0:43:36.160
<v Speaker 13>Absolutely, and I think the government, the federal government knows

0:43:36.239 --> 0:43:39.879
<v Speaker 13>that that's the case. And remember, yes, this looks like

0:43:39.920 --> 0:43:44.279
<v Speaker 13>a shaky ceasefire that's holding between Israel and Iran, but

0:43:44.360 --> 0:43:48.240
<v Speaker 13>the conflict in data is still going on. And also

0:43:48.320 --> 0:43:53.640
<v Speaker 13>the ripples from the hostilities we've just seen are still

0:43:53.719 --> 0:43:55.360
<v Speaker 13>bouncing all over the planet.

0:43:56.200 --> 0:43:59.080
<v Speaker 2>So the announcement that's main made today that there'll be

0:43:59.239 --> 0:44:02.319
<v Speaker 2>a campaign on on Sydney's transport network where passengers will

0:44:02.320 --> 0:44:06.920
<v Speaker 2>be urged to report anything to the National Security hotline.

0:44:06.640 --> 0:44:09.120
<v Speaker 2>Is that an overreaction or is that wise?

0:44:10.520 --> 0:44:14.120
<v Speaker 13>Well? I think it's wise because we know that war

0:44:14.400 --> 0:44:18.000
<v Speaker 13>creates a whole lot of tensions and angst and grievance,

0:44:18.640 --> 0:44:22.160
<v Speaker 13>and so many Australians have views about what's happening in

0:44:22.200 --> 0:44:25.640
<v Speaker 13>the Middle East and what has just happened, and it's

0:44:25.680 --> 0:44:28.840
<v Speaker 13>brought in a whole bunch of different people, the Iranian

0:44:28.960 --> 0:44:32.640
<v Speaker 13>diaspora in our society. We already knew how much community

0:44:32.680 --> 0:44:36.680
<v Speaker 13>anger there was about the conflict around Israel and Gaza,

0:44:37.480 --> 0:44:41.360
<v Speaker 13>so this adds more grievance and anger into that. The

0:44:41.480 --> 0:44:43.879
<v Speaker 13>odd thing here, though, is why is it a good

0:44:43.880 --> 0:44:47.600
<v Speaker 13>idea to tell Australians who happen to be on Sydney trains,

0:44:48.080 --> 0:44:50.440
<v Speaker 13>but it's not a good idea to tell any of

0:44:50.480 --> 0:44:51.239
<v Speaker 13>the rest of us.

0:44:51.760 --> 0:44:54.719
<v Speaker 2>It's a very fair point now, given that Tony Burke,

0:44:54.760 --> 0:44:57.840
<v Speaker 2>the Home Affairs Minister, the federal Home Affairs Minister, is

0:44:57.880 --> 0:45:00.520
<v Speaker 2>supporting this transport from your Southwest campaign, think you'd be

0:45:00.560 --> 0:45:03.400
<v Speaker 2>speaking to the authorities in Melbourne, Queensland or Wa.

0:45:03.880 --> 0:45:07.120
<v Speaker 13>Well, how about the whole country? How about hearing something

0:45:07.560 --> 0:45:11.240
<v Speaker 13>from the Prime Minister and the Home Affairs Minister. Nothing

0:45:11.680 --> 0:45:14.840
<v Speaker 13>particularly alarming, you know, I think your John Howard of

0:45:14.880 --> 0:45:18.239
<v Speaker 13>reference was pretty much spot on. But just look, we

0:45:18.320 --> 0:45:20.320
<v Speaker 13>know there's been a lot of community tens in and

0:45:20.400 --> 0:45:22.400
<v Speaker 13>anger already because of the conflict in.

0:45:22.400 --> 0:45:23.040
<v Speaker 11>The Middle East.

0:45:23.520 --> 0:45:26.720
<v Speaker 13>The fact that the US has just done some pretty

0:45:27.880 --> 0:45:32.960
<v Speaker 13>intense military action with the bombing, plus the Israeli Iranian

0:45:33.280 --> 0:45:36.880
<v Speaker 13>exchange of missiles and casualties on both sides, we know

0:45:37.000 --> 0:45:40.600
<v Speaker 13>that will have disturbed different parts of our community. They

0:45:40.640 --> 0:45:44.799
<v Speaker 13>could call for calm and cohesion, but say, if you

0:45:44.880 --> 0:45:46.560
<v Speaker 13>see something, report.

0:45:46.239 --> 0:45:49.279
<v Speaker 2>It and providing even a small amount of information, that

0:45:49.719 --> 0:45:51.680
<v Speaker 2>you're sitting on a train, you're going home from your

0:45:51.719 --> 0:45:54.759
<v Speaker 2>office and you're spot something suspicious, just providing a little

0:45:54.760 --> 0:45:56.480
<v Speaker 2>piece of information can be critical, can't it?

0:45:57.440 --> 0:46:00.560
<v Speaker 13>Absolutely? And that's why if you take time to look

0:46:00.560 --> 0:46:04.160
<v Speaker 13>at the government websites, it explains this stuff. But people

0:46:04.200 --> 0:46:07.799
<v Speaker 13>aren't spending their time looking at obscure government websites. They

0:46:07.840 --> 0:46:12.480
<v Speaker 13>need to hear simple, clear information from our government authorities.

0:46:13.480 --> 0:46:16.040
<v Speaker 2>Do you think even though Iran is going to be

0:46:16.040 --> 0:46:19.319
<v Speaker 2>weakened substantially by the military action that's taken place and

0:46:19.400 --> 0:46:22.680
<v Speaker 2>to varying degrees, do you think terrorist cells around the

0:46:22.680 --> 0:46:25.040
<v Speaker 2>world that may well have been funded by the Iranians

0:46:25.080 --> 0:46:29.760
<v Speaker 2>over recent times, will it also go to those cells

0:46:29.800 --> 0:46:31.880
<v Speaker 2>being weakened, those organizations being weakened.

0:46:32.960 --> 0:46:37.160
<v Speaker 13>Well, I think Iran's capacity to fund all of its

0:46:37.160 --> 0:46:41.360
<v Speaker 13>global network is reduced because they're trying to they're probably

0:46:41.680 --> 0:46:45.319
<v Speaker 13>already struggling to fund Homas and has Bolla closer to home.

0:46:45.920 --> 0:46:50.680
<v Speaker 13>So yes, but remember everythm is as much now about

0:46:51.440 --> 0:46:55.040
<v Speaker 13>some individual looking at all this stuff online and making

0:46:55.080 --> 0:46:58.560
<v Speaker 13>their own decisions. They're sort of encouraged by the environment,

0:46:58.600 --> 0:47:01.160
<v Speaker 13>but they don't have to be directed by the Iranians

0:47:01.239 --> 0:47:02.359
<v Speaker 13>or has polar yep.

0:47:02.400 --> 0:47:04.480
<v Speaker 2>And the way information moves around the world in these

0:47:04.480 --> 0:47:06.400
<v Speaker 2>circles is very different to what it was twenty years ago,

0:47:06.400 --> 0:47:07.759
<v Speaker 2>and that the days of nine to eleven. Thank you

0:47:07.760 --> 0:47:11.240
<v Speaker 2>if your information and you're inside, Michael, Thanks very much.

0:47:11.400 --> 0:47:14.960
<v Speaker 2>Michael Schubridge, who is the Director of Strategic Analysis Australia.

0:47:15.000 --> 0:47:17.439
<v Speaker 2>He's an expert in this issue. So you may well

0:47:17.440 --> 0:47:19.640
<v Speaker 2>be traveling on Sydney trains and buses in the next

0:47:19.640 --> 0:47:22.600
<v Speaker 2>couple of weeks and you may hear an announcement, you

0:47:22.640 --> 0:47:26.040
<v Speaker 2>may see a poster a sign saying if you see something,

0:47:26.360 --> 0:47:28.920
<v Speaker 2>let the National Security Hotline know. Now I've got a

0:47:28.960 --> 0:47:32.080
<v Speaker 2>few messages here about the position of Anthony Albernezi and

0:47:32.120 --> 0:47:34.680
<v Speaker 2>Michael's making the point there that why isn't the Prime

0:47:34.680 --> 0:47:37.520
<v Speaker 2>Minister out here on the front foot not just directing

0:47:37.560 --> 0:47:39.800
<v Speaker 2>a message through Tony Burke to New South Wales commuters.

0:47:39.800 --> 0:47:42.840
<v Speaker 2>But why isn't the PM out there saying we need

0:47:42.880 --> 0:47:46.319
<v Speaker 2>you to all help us. Richard makes the point once

0:47:46.360 --> 0:47:48.839
<v Speaker 2>again Anthony Alberizi is missing an action. We don't know

0:47:48.840 --> 0:47:51.719
<v Speaker 2>where he is, don't know what he's doing, but the

0:47:51.760 --> 0:47:54.120
<v Speaker 2>rest of us are just struggling to get by. Well.

0:47:54.120 --> 0:47:56.920
<v Speaker 2>He has made some comments today. We've had news that

0:47:56.960 --> 0:47:59.319
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and eighteen Australians now have been flown out

0:47:59.520 --> 0:48:02.879
<v Speaker 2>of Israel, and there are some Australians also still stuck

0:48:02.880 --> 0:48:04.919
<v Speaker 2>in Iran. They'll have to wait longer to get help.

0:48:05.120 --> 0:48:07.239
<v Speaker 2>The Prime Minister has spoken about this today and he

0:48:07.239 --> 0:48:08.960
<v Speaker 2>says the Australian government's doing what it can.

0:48:09.239 --> 0:48:13.000
<v Speaker 22>The situation is obviously very volatile there. Our hope is

0:48:13.040 --> 0:48:17.000
<v Speaker 22>that Australians are kept safe. So at the moment there

0:48:17.000 --> 0:48:20.920
<v Speaker 22>are of course not flights out of Iran. We will

0:48:20.960 --> 0:48:23.600
<v Speaker 22>always prioritize the safety of Australians.

0:48:24.080 --> 0:48:25.719
<v Speaker 2>But the prime is it does seem to take a

0:48:25.719 --> 0:48:28.040
<v Speaker 2>few days before commenting on issues like this.

0:48:29.120 --> 0:48:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard.

0:48:31.480 --> 0:48:34.080
<v Speaker 21>If it's happening in your city, you'll hear it on

0:48:34.239 --> 0:48:35.520
<v Speaker 21>Sydney now to.

0:48:35.640 --> 0:48:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Gb Lucy Zelich is our strength shooter for a Wednesday afternoon.

0:48:38.960 --> 0:48:41.120
<v Speaker 2>She's coming up and we're going to talk about the

0:48:41.200 --> 0:48:43.680
<v Speaker 2>address that Susan Lee has made to the National Press

0:48:43.719 --> 0:48:44.440
<v Speaker 2>Club today.

0:48:44.680 --> 0:48:48.440
<v Speaker 23>Let's be honest and upfront about last month's selection. We

0:48:48.520 --> 0:48:54.040
<v Speaker 23>didn't just lose, we got smashed, totally smashed.

0:48:55.280 --> 0:48:56.120
<v Speaker 1>What we as the.

0:48:56.040 --> 0:49:00.399
<v Speaker 23>Liberal Party presented to the Australian people was comprehensive, Lee.

0:49:00.520 --> 0:49:03.640
<v Speaker 2>Rejected Susan Lee. Lucy's Elis was one of the few

0:49:03.680 --> 0:49:06.120
<v Speaker 2>to actually watch the speech in full. She'll provide some

0:49:06.160 --> 0:49:09.160
<v Speaker 2>analysis later this hour twenty two past four, a man

0:49:09.200 --> 0:49:12.080
<v Speaker 2>remains in hospital. He is critical in Royal North Shore

0:49:12.239 --> 0:49:15.360
<v Speaker 2>after an accident on an ET scooter. The man was

0:49:16.120 --> 0:49:19.080
<v Speaker 2>riding along May Road d why and this was last

0:49:19.160 --> 0:49:22.160
<v Speaker 2>night and he fell off the east scooter it appears,

0:49:22.200 --> 0:49:24.919
<v Speaker 2>and police are still looking at the exact circumstances around

0:49:24.960 --> 0:49:27.759
<v Speaker 2>what happened. It appears he hit a pothole and he

0:49:27.880 --> 0:49:31.920
<v Speaker 2>was at speed. Now I should just point out these scooters,

0:49:31.960 --> 0:49:34.600
<v Speaker 2>as the law stands right now, are illegal to use

0:49:34.600 --> 0:49:37.879
<v Speaker 2>on roads. These scooters, as the law stands right now,

0:49:38.040 --> 0:49:40.760
<v Speaker 2>are illegal to use on foot paths. The state government's

0:49:40.760 --> 0:49:44.680
<v Speaker 2>indicated they are looking to change the rules. But I'm

0:49:44.680 --> 0:49:46.799
<v Speaker 2>not defending having potholes in the roads. You know how

0:49:46.840 --> 0:49:48.600
<v Speaker 2>I feel about that. It would appear, and this is

0:49:48.680 --> 0:49:51.120
<v Speaker 2>also subject to this investigation. The man was doing something

0:49:51.120 --> 0:49:54.719
<v Speaker 2>illegal writing his ees scooter at night may do white. Nevertheless,

0:49:55.880 --> 0:49:57.719
<v Speaker 2>he's in hospital at the moment and hopefully he's going

0:49:57.760 --> 0:50:00.920
<v Speaker 2>to be okay. He's in a critical condition. About sixty

0:50:00.960 --> 0:50:03.240
<v Speaker 2>odd as well, was enjoying the ride in the est scooter.

0:50:03.640 --> 0:50:06.480
<v Speaker 2>But it appears that he was thrown off the estcooter

0:50:06.560 --> 0:50:09.160
<v Speaker 2>and landed very heavily on the motorway.

0:50:10.440 --> 0:50:10.920
<v Speaker 1>Sydney.

0:50:10.960 --> 0:50:15.600
<v Speaker 2>Now onto GV Okay, we've been talking about supermarkets and

0:50:15.680 --> 0:50:17.840
<v Speaker 2>also the inflation figures that have been released today that

0:50:17.880 --> 0:50:20.440
<v Speaker 2>shows inflations now to at a slowest level since November

0:50:20.560 --> 0:50:23.520
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty one, and it's likely to lead to the

0:50:23.560 --> 0:50:27.080
<v Speaker 2>Reserve Bank cutting interest rates probably next month. Evan says,

0:50:27.120 --> 0:50:29.880
<v Speaker 2>you're still banging on against about interest rates again, Clinton,

0:50:29.960 --> 0:50:32.520
<v Speaker 2>but a tub of butter costs almost eight dollars. Inflation

0:50:32.680 --> 0:50:36.120
<v Speaker 2>is still rampant. It seems to be selective, doesn't it. Evan. Now,

0:50:36.160 --> 0:50:38.120
<v Speaker 2>I think it's important to talk about interest rates because

0:50:38.160 --> 0:50:39.879
<v Speaker 2>it affects so much of us, And yes, it also

0:50:39.920 --> 0:50:42.120
<v Speaker 2>affects people who are living on their investments and their

0:50:42.120 --> 0:50:45.200
<v Speaker 2>retirement savings. But a lot of people are also paying mortgages.

0:50:45.239 --> 0:50:47.440
<v Speaker 2>And even if you're not paying a mortgage, it has

0:50:47.480 --> 0:50:50.719
<v Speaker 2>a flow and effect through small business, medium sized businesses,

0:50:50.760 --> 0:50:53.560
<v Speaker 2>and big businesses. What they're paying, and we end up

0:50:53.560 --> 0:50:56.040
<v Speaker 2>paying for it through what we buy at the supermarket,

0:50:56.080 --> 0:50:58.160
<v Speaker 2>what we buy in shops, what we pay for services.

0:50:58.200 --> 0:51:00.719
<v Speaker 2>That's why it's important. But you're right, the cost of butter.

0:51:00.760 --> 0:51:03.920
<v Speaker 2>I've noticed butter butter has been increasing quite dramatically in

0:51:03.960 --> 0:51:07.120
<v Speaker 2>recent times, Chris says about colds and wo Wars and

0:51:07.160 --> 0:51:10.160
<v Speaker 2>the fact that the latest choice information shows that the

0:51:10.200 --> 0:51:12.799
<v Speaker 2>gap between the prices you pay at Aldi, Coles and

0:51:12.800 --> 0:51:15.920
<v Speaker 2>Woos is actually narrowing. Chris makes the point just remember

0:51:15.960 --> 0:51:18.160
<v Speaker 2>you're most likely a shareholder of Coals and Wars through

0:51:18.200 --> 0:51:21.200
<v Speaker 2>your superinnuation. But then if you go to Aldi, you're

0:51:21.239 --> 0:51:24.759
<v Speaker 2>taking your money off shore, So why support them? Sao

0:51:24.920 --> 0:51:28.200
<v Speaker 2>calling us about supermarkets? Hello, sal Yeah, Hi.

0:51:28.160 --> 0:51:31.280
<v Speaker 16>Clinton, love your program and I like the way you

0:51:31.280 --> 0:51:34.200
<v Speaker 16>You're very professional, the way you do it. One quick,

0:51:34.239 --> 0:51:38.160
<v Speaker 16>one Macona coffee. I think it's about four hundred grams.

0:51:38.320 --> 0:51:40.920
<v Speaker 24>It's the large jar for quite a while.

0:51:41.000 --> 0:51:44.520
<v Speaker 16>Aldi has had it for nineteen forty nine wooes and

0:51:44.640 --> 0:51:46.759
<v Speaker 16>Cole's thirty two dollars.

0:51:47.080 --> 0:51:49.440
<v Speaker 2>That bigger difference, That bigger difference.

0:51:49.520 --> 0:51:52.319
<v Speaker 16>I'll keep looking at that any time I go to Cole's,

0:51:52.360 --> 0:51:54.560
<v Speaker 16>Not that it's very often, but they've got a couple

0:51:54.640 --> 0:51:57.200
<v Speaker 16>of products that I'd rather get there because Aldi haven't

0:51:57.200 --> 0:51:57.720
<v Speaker 16>got it.

0:51:57.760 --> 0:51:59.400
<v Speaker 11>But that much difference.

0:51:59.040 --> 0:52:02.560
<v Speaker 16>All the time Aldi's got at their shop and I

0:52:02.600 --> 0:52:04.440
<v Speaker 16>haven't got shares in Aldi, by the way.

0:52:04.600 --> 0:52:04.839
<v Speaker 19>But.

0:52:06.280 --> 0:52:06.520
<v Speaker 1>It is.

0:52:06.760 --> 0:52:08.880
<v Speaker 2>It's the same mcona coffee.

0:52:08.960 --> 0:52:12.680
<v Speaker 16>Exactly the same coffee, the same jar, the same love labeling.

0:52:13.040 --> 0:52:14.120
<v Speaker 16>It's in a glass jar.

0:52:14.200 --> 0:52:16.000
<v Speaker 20>It's the biggest one they make actually for.

0:52:17.640 --> 0:52:18.640
<v Speaker 25>Domestic purposes.

0:52:18.920 --> 0:52:21.759
<v Speaker 2>Goodness, I don't drink coffee. Sow well. The information that's

0:52:21.760 --> 0:52:24.080
<v Speaker 2>been released by the ABS to that inflation shows one

0:52:24.080 --> 0:52:26.319
<v Speaker 2>of the items that is going up dramatically and has

0:52:26.320 --> 0:52:29.440
<v Speaker 2>done in the past year is actually coffee, coffee, coco

0:52:29.680 --> 0:52:31.920
<v Speaker 2>and also tea. So so thanks for letting me know

0:52:31.920 --> 0:52:34.560
<v Speaker 2>about that. But what the AVS has found doesn't explain

0:52:34.600 --> 0:52:37.279
<v Speaker 2>the difference between the prices you paid Aldi and the

0:52:37.320 --> 0:52:51.880
<v Speaker 2>prices you pay Cole's or Woolies. Okay. Tomorrow morning, nine o'clock,

0:52:51.960 --> 0:52:55.560
<v Speaker 2>tickets go on sale for the ac DC concert in Sydney. Now,

0:52:55.719 --> 0:52:58.880
<v Speaker 2>there may well be a second concert, but given the

0:52:58.920 --> 0:53:01.640
<v Speaker 2>age of the members ac DC, it can't be assured.

0:53:01.680 --> 0:53:04.160
<v Speaker 2>I think there will be. I think they'll only play two.

0:53:04.440 --> 0:53:06.600
<v Speaker 2>So if you want to go along to the ACDC concept,

0:53:06.640 --> 0:53:08.520
<v Speaker 2>you're going to need to get onto the ticket tech

0:53:08.600 --> 0:53:12.240
<v Speaker 2>website tomorrow. The ticket prices start one hundred and thirty

0:53:12.239 --> 0:53:15.399
<v Speaker 2>two dollars forty five for B reserve seating, so very

0:53:15.440 --> 0:53:18.359
<v Speaker 2>high in a core stadium. The best tickets you can

0:53:18.400 --> 0:53:21.400
<v Speaker 2>buy the ultimate A reserve is four hundred and seven

0:53:21.760 --> 0:53:24.359
<v Speaker 2>seventy that's a seated position as well, if you want

0:53:24.400 --> 0:53:25.880
<v Speaker 2>to stand up, and if you want to stand up

0:53:25.880 --> 0:53:28.799
<v Speaker 2>near the front, three hundred and five dollars seventy five. Now,

0:53:29.200 --> 0:53:32.200
<v Speaker 2>ticket Tech has made some warnings about what you need

0:53:32.280 --> 0:53:35.640
<v Speaker 2>to do to be ready for tomorrow. Firstly, make sure

0:53:35.640 --> 0:53:38.359
<v Speaker 2>you've got a ticketech account. So if you haven't brought

0:53:38.360 --> 0:53:41.880
<v Speaker 2>through ticketech before and you want tickets to this event,

0:53:42.440 --> 0:53:44.880
<v Speaker 2>sign up to ticketech tonight because it will be a

0:53:44.960 --> 0:53:47.720
<v Speaker 2>nightmare to try to do it tomorrow morning. They suggest

0:53:47.800 --> 0:53:52.200
<v Speaker 2>using the ticketech app. But also they they say you

0:53:52.239 --> 0:53:55.040
<v Speaker 2>need to take some care with your your VPN. If

0:53:55.080 --> 0:53:57.560
<v Speaker 2>you use what's called a virtual private network at home

0:53:57.719 --> 0:54:01.839
<v Speaker 2>or an IP masking tool, you've got to disable that.

0:54:02.040 --> 0:54:04.400
<v Speaker 2>And the reason you need to disable your VPN if

0:54:04.440 --> 0:54:06.680
<v Speaker 2>you use one to access the Internet is because they

0:54:06.680 --> 0:54:10.200
<v Speaker 2>have bot detection equipment and they simply won't allow you

0:54:10.239 --> 0:54:11.879
<v Speaker 2>to get in the queue because they may fear you're

0:54:11.880 --> 0:54:14.799
<v Speaker 2>a robot. And this is the way sales of big

0:54:14.840 --> 0:54:17.440
<v Speaker 2>events happen these days. There are robots out there controlled

0:54:17.440 --> 0:54:20.320
<v Speaker 2>by criminal gangs who'll be buying up tickets to scalp

0:54:20.360 --> 0:54:25.360
<v Speaker 2>them effectively. So disconnect your VPM. They recommend joining the

0:54:25.400 --> 0:54:28.399
<v Speaker 2>ticketech lounge now. The Ticketech lounge will open one hour

0:54:28.400 --> 0:54:31.839
<v Speaker 2>before the sale, so from eight o'clock tomorrow morning, they say,

0:54:31.920 --> 0:54:35.360
<v Speaker 2>don't refresh or close your bows browser. So if you

0:54:35.440 --> 0:54:37.960
<v Speaker 2>do manage to get in the queue tomorrow morning from

0:54:38.000 --> 0:54:41.080
<v Speaker 2>nine o'clock and you're frustrated by how long it's taking,

0:54:41.440 --> 0:54:44.120
<v Speaker 2>don't keep pressing refreshed. I know it's very tempting to

0:54:44.120 --> 0:54:46.160
<v Speaker 2>do so, because if you do that, you then go

0:54:46.239 --> 0:54:49.520
<v Speaker 2>to the back of the queue. They say, only use

0:54:49.560 --> 0:54:53.640
<v Speaker 2>one device because they have this bot detection technology. So

0:54:53.680 --> 0:54:56.439
<v Speaker 2>if you say, got four computers, don't try to log

0:54:56.520 --> 0:54:58.440
<v Speaker 2>they're saying, don't try to log on a Ticketech all

0:54:58.480 --> 0:55:00.560
<v Speaker 2>at the one time, because they'll be able to teck that.

0:55:01.239 --> 0:55:05.280
<v Speaker 2>They say, avoid using multiple tabs. Keep your phone handy

0:55:05.320 --> 0:55:08.160
<v Speaker 2>because there'll be a verification code once you get through

0:55:08.400 --> 0:55:10.759
<v Speaker 2>to the front of the queue and be ready to

0:55:10.840 --> 0:55:12.440
<v Speaker 2>check out with all your bank details or get your

0:55:12.440 --> 0:55:13.960
<v Speaker 2>credit card details. How are you going to pay for

0:55:14.000 --> 0:55:16.640
<v Speaker 2>your tickets? So that's from nine o'clock tomorrow morning. If

0:55:16.640 --> 0:55:18.959
<v Speaker 2>you do want to, my advice is you're probably gonna

0:55:18.960 --> 0:55:20.799
<v Speaker 2>and this is not sponsored by ticketech, but I know

0:55:20.840 --> 0:55:22.160
<v Speaker 2>a lot of you are very keen for the ac

0:55:22.320 --> 0:55:26.200
<v Speaker 2>DC tickets tomorrow. Download the ticket tech website app to

0:55:26.480 --> 0:55:29.240
<v Speaker 2>ap the app tonight or sign up to the account.

0:55:29.239 --> 0:55:31.879
<v Speaker 2>Do that tonight and then tomorrow log on from eight

0:55:31.920 --> 0:55:34.720
<v Speaker 2>o'clock because you can then take part in the Ticketech lounge.

0:55:35.120 --> 0:55:36.520
<v Speaker 2>But that's going to give you the best chance of

0:55:36.520 --> 0:55:39.600
<v Speaker 2>being towards the front of the queue for ac DC tomorrow.

0:55:54.320 --> 0:55:56.520
<v Speaker 2>You couldn't have imagine paying as much ac DC as

0:55:56.520 --> 0:55:59.080
<v Speaker 2>we have on the program this week. Maybe ten years ago,

0:56:00.440 --> 0:56:03.399
<v Speaker 2>give US an Angus Young's seventy and lead singer Brian

0:56:03.480 --> 0:56:09.080
<v Speaker 2>Johnson's seventy eight. I think it's now appropriate. John Stanley

0:56:09.120 --> 0:56:10.600
<v Speaker 2>will be on air from eight o'clock to night. But

0:56:10.640 --> 0:56:13.239
<v Speaker 2>he's just coming to the building and I've had to

0:56:13.280 --> 0:56:15.440
<v Speaker 2>pass him the box of tissues because he's wiping tears

0:56:15.480 --> 0:56:19.360
<v Speaker 2>away from his eyes. He's he's bawling this afternoon because

0:56:19.400 --> 0:56:22.759
<v Speaker 2>news is just broken that the longest serving player from

0:56:22.800 --> 0:56:25.840
<v Speaker 2>Saint Georgia, Laura Jack Debllen, he's going to quit the club.

0:56:26.800 --> 0:56:30.080
<v Speaker 2>He's going to join Paramatta. He's joining Paramatta where Zach

0:56:30.160 --> 0:56:33.080
<v Speaker 2>Lomax went as well. So I mean John's just worried

0:56:33.080 --> 0:56:34.840
<v Speaker 2>about the rest of them now going to Paramatter as well.

0:56:34.880 --> 0:56:36.839
<v Speaker 2>Because every second In George player doesn't want to play

0:56:36.840 --> 0:56:38.239
<v Speaker 2>at the Dragons, it would seen once to go to

0:56:38.280 --> 0:56:40.760
<v Speaker 2>the Eels. We'll have some more details when MG joins

0:56:40.840 --> 0:56:43.160
<v Speaker 2>us after five point thirty. Let's check out news headlines

0:56:47.239 --> 0:56:48.600

<v Speaker 9>and the NRL has launched the ninth annual Beanie for

0:57:35.080 --> 0:57:39.320
<v Speaker 9>Brain Cats around raising awareness and funds for brain cancer research.

0:57:39.840 --> 0:57:43.080
<v Speaker 9>In Sport, Goutgaut has announced himself on the world stage,

0:57:43.120 --> 0:57:46.040
<v Speaker 9>setting a national record in the two hundred meters in

<v Speaker 9>five fak you Katie.

0:57:50.840 --> 0:57:53.400
<v Speaker 2>Only fifteen degrees in the city. Now in Penrith it's

0:57:53.480 --> 0:57:56.280
<v Speaker 2>under fifteen degree still very strong win right across the

0:57:56.280 --> 0:57:58.480
<v Speaker 2>city and much as southern New South Wales as well,

0:57:58.480 --> 0:58:01.440
<v Speaker 2>particularly around Wollongong. In the south coast. The wind should

0:58:01.520 --> 0:58:04.520
<v Speaker 2>ease tonight, so it won't be too windy tomorrow. The

0:58:04.560 --> 0:58:07.120
<v Speaker 2>biggest concern we have with the heavy wind is what

0:58:07.240 --> 0:58:09.640
<v Speaker 2>is unfolding in Carlingford at the moment. So as you've

0:58:09.640 --> 0:58:12.960
<v Speaker 2>heard there with Katie Pennant Hills Road near Shirley Street

0:58:12.960 --> 0:58:16.479
<v Speaker 2>and also Cumberland Highway is closed in both directions. There's

0:58:16.480 --> 0:58:19.360
<v Speaker 2>one of four cranes. It's at the Meriton construction site. There.

0:58:19.360 --> 0:58:22.840
<v Speaker 2>There's a massive development, a massive unit development under construction.

0:58:22.920 --> 0:58:25.160
<v Speaker 2>It's only in the early stages, but there are four

0:58:25.200 --> 0:58:29.040
<v Speaker 2>cranes there. One of those cranes, the main vertical part

0:58:29.040 --> 0:58:32.280
<v Speaker 2>of the crane there will be about forty fifty meters high,

0:58:32.760 --> 0:58:36.160
<v Speaker 2>is leaning backwards. It's been pushed back in the wind.

0:58:36.320 --> 0:58:39.400
<v Speaker 2>Now at the moment, the emergency services that are on

0:58:39.440 --> 0:58:42.640
<v Speaker 2>the scene that they're fairly confident the crane is secure,

0:58:43.120 --> 0:58:44.720
<v Speaker 2>but they're going to need to bring in some experts

0:58:44.760 --> 0:58:47.280
<v Speaker 2>to make sure that crane does not tip over. And

0:58:47.360 --> 0:58:49.960
<v Speaker 2>for that reason they've had to ensure that the traffic

0:58:50.000 --> 0:58:51.480
<v Speaker 2>does not move through that region.

0:58:53.080 --> 0:58:55.720
<v Speaker 1>Sydney Now onto GV.

0:58:56.040 --> 0:58:57.880
<v Speaker 2>Now a little later in the program, we are going

0:58:57.920 --> 0:59:01.440
<v Speaker 2>to spin two GB's and I'm looking forward to this.

0:59:01.480 --> 0:59:03.760
<v Speaker 2>Don't call yet, We're gonna do it later because MG

0:59:04.160 --> 0:59:06.120
<v Speaker 2>is going to spin the wheel today and we've got

0:59:06.160 --> 0:59:08.080
<v Speaker 2>great prizes, including your chance to win two and a

<v Speaker 2>half thousand dollars. But I also have the go to

<v Speaker 2>Genter Genie Prize pack and this is fabulous because it

0:59:14.800 --> 0:59:16.840
<v Speaker 2>also comes to two hundred and fifty dollars. But I've

0:59:16.880 --> 0:59:18.600
<v Speaker 2>just been given a look at what's in the prize pack.

0:59:18.640 --> 0:59:21.480
<v Speaker 2>It includes a Sonic Cleaner. Now, if you haven't come

0:59:21.480 --> 0:59:24.560
<v Speaker 2>across a Sonic cleaner before, little device and if you've

0:59:24.600 --> 0:59:27.600
<v Speaker 2>got say retainers, if you've got a mouthguard or dentures,

0:59:28.080 --> 0:59:31.160
<v Speaker 2>you put the dentures in the Sonic Cleaner cleans them,

0:59:31.280 --> 0:59:34.960
<v Speaker 2>sanitizes them really quickly. You can actually clean your jewelry

0:59:35.120 --> 0:59:37.120
<v Speaker 2>Street Corner Chip for you. So if you can take

0:59:37.160 --> 0:59:39.480
<v Speaker 2>you take a ring off or a necklace, you can

0:59:39.520 --> 0:59:42.560
<v Speaker 2>actually put the ring in the Sonic Cleaner from Denti

0:59:42.640 --> 0:59:44.680
<v Speaker 2>Genie cleans it for you. Now I've got I've only

0:59:44.720 --> 0:59:46.280
<v Speaker 2>got one piece of jewelry. It's a ring. It is

0:59:46.320 --> 0:59:48.240
<v Speaker 2>my wedding ring. It hasn't come off my finger in

0:59:48.320 --> 0:59:50.720
<v Speaker 2>twenty years. You'll have to chop it off. So if

0:59:50.760 --> 0:59:54.040
<v Speaker 2>I've ever headed for the divorce courts, Seriously, if I've

0:59:54.040 --> 0:59:56.920
<v Speaker 2>got a divorce, I would have to have my finger amputated.

0:59:56.920 --> 0:59:58.680
<v Speaker 2>But if the ring, it's pretty dirty, so you could

0:59:58.680 --> 1:00:01.080
<v Speaker 2>clean it if they chop my finger off. Also in

1:00:01.120 --> 1:00:04.320
<v Speaker 2>here this is fabulous. You've got the go to Denti

1:00:04.440 --> 1:00:08.200
<v Speaker 2>Genie water flosser, so instead of using floss, the traditional

1:00:08.240 --> 1:00:11.320
<v Speaker 2>string floss, you can use a water floss. So we're

1:00:11.360 --> 1:00:13.440
<v Speaker 2>gonna spin the wheel a little later in the program

1:00:13.440 --> 1:00:16.040
<v Speaker 2>when MG joins us. So after five point thirty, this

<v Speaker 2>is not your cue to Q to court yet. We've

1:00:18.400 --> 1:00:20.320
<v Speaker 2>got a lot of money on the wheel today, but

1:00:20.400 --> 1:00:22.960
<v Speaker 2>we do have our go to Genti Genie prize pack

<v Speaker 2>you can't handle the true The straight Shooters Straight Shooter

1:00:34.880 --> 1:00:37.880
<v Speaker 2>for a Wednesday afternoon is the fabulous Lucy Zelochello Lucy.

1:00:37.760 --> 1:00:42.720
<v Speaker 26>Hello Clinton. I'm very intrigued by this very touching bit

1:00:42.720 --> 1:00:45.120
<v Speaker 26>of information that you've never taken your ring off in

1:00:45.160 --> 1:00:46.000
<v Speaker 26>twenty years.

1:00:46.240 --> 1:00:49.439
<v Speaker 2>No, no, so, I'm I'm quite anti jewelry, so there's

1:00:49.440 --> 1:00:52.360
<v Speaker 2>no I have a fit bit. That's the first watch

1:00:52.400 --> 1:00:55.920
<v Speaker 2>I've worn in twenty odd years. I don't have any necklaces,

1:00:56.160 --> 1:00:58.840
<v Speaker 2>don't have any ear rings anymore, don't have a belly ring,

1:00:59.640 --> 1:01:02.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't have any other rings on my fingers. But

1:01:02.720 --> 1:01:05.520
<v Speaker 2>when I got married, which is now twenty years ago, yes,

1:01:05.840 --> 1:01:09.040
<v Speaker 2>I got the wedding ring and I've never taken it off,

1:01:09.320 --> 1:01:12.320
<v Speaker 2>and it is I'm tugging it at now. It is

1:01:12.400 --> 1:01:13.760
<v Speaker 2>impossible to take off now.

1:01:13.960 --> 1:01:15.880
<v Speaker 26>So if I've got a bottle of olive oil out

1:01:15.920 --> 1:01:18.040
<v Speaker 26>and it's splashed it across your finger, you don't think we.

1:01:18.040 --> 1:01:19.720
<v Speaker 2>Could get that off, no way. So when I've had

1:01:20.040 --> 1:01:21.360
<v Speaker 2>been in the hospital a couple of times, they just

1:01:21.360 --> 1:01:23.800
<v Speaker 2>tape it up. They don't take it off. You can't

1:01:23.800 --> 1:01:26.000
<v Speaker 2>get off. So and certain this is not gonna happen.

1:01:26.040 --> 1:01:27.520
<v Speaker 2>Love my wife very much. We're going on a cruise

1:01:27.520 --> 1:01:28.600
<v Speaker 2>to mark our twentieth wedding.

1:01:28.600 --> 1:01:31.800
<v Speaker 26>Adversis congratulations either way because it's worth commending that.

1:01:31.880 --> 1:01:34.840
<v Speaker 2>Thank you Lucy Cass's work in the moment. So she's

1:01:34.840 --> 1:01:36.880
<v Speaker 2>not listening, so I can say this. If we did

1:01:36.920 --> 1:01:39.560
<v Speaker 2>get divorced and it's not going to happen, they'd have

1:01:39.600 --> 1:01:42.160
<v Speaker 2>to chop my finger off. You could not be able

1:01:42.200 --> 1:01:43.960
<v Speaker 2>to well, I guess you could cut through the ring

1:01:44.000 --> 1:01:45.120
<v Speaker 2>with an angle grinder or something.

1:01:45.160 --> 1:01:48.840
<v Speaker 26>You would you would clearly have other options before amputating

1:01:48.840 --> 1:01:49.280
<v Speaker 26>the finger.

1:01:49.680 --> 1:01:51.720
<v Speaker 2>I know a lot of men don't wear a wedding

1:01:51.760 --> 1:01:54.320
<v Speaker 2>ring no, because it can you know, if you work

1:01:54.320 --> 1:01:55.760
<v Speaker 2>in construction, for instance.

1:01:55.440 --> 1:01:57.480
<v Speaker 26>Well my father that's how my father lost is not

1:01:57.560 --> 1:02:02.520
<v Speaker 26>long after in fact.

1:02:00.160 --> 1:02:02.280
<v Speaker 2>First and I'd never worn rings. Well, when I first

1:02:02.360 --> 1:02:04.760
<v Speaker 2>got it, it was such a pain, like even doing something

1:02:04.800 --> 1:02:07.080
<v Speaker 2>basically like mowing the lawn. I just felt it banging

1:02:07.120 --> 1:02:08.880
<v Speaker 2>against the handle of the lawmar all the time when

1:02:08.880 --> 1:02:11.240
<v Speaker 2>I was driving the car. You're changing the gears.

1:02:11.680 --> 1:02:13.840
<v Speaker 26>Now, you'd be very used to it, right, It's.

1:02:13.680 --> 1:02:15.680
<v Speaker 2>Just part of me now. But as I said, you'd

1:02:15.680 --> 1:02:18.960
<v Speaker 2>have to chop my finger off now. Today you paid

1:02:19.200 --> 1:02:22.920
<v Speaker 2>very close attention to Susan Lee's first ever address to

1:02:22.960 --> 1:02:24.760
<v Speaker 2>the National Press Club as Liberal leader.

1:02:25.000 --> 1:02:27.440
<v Speaker 26>I was really intrigued because I think we've all been

1:02:27.480 --> 1:02:29.880
<v Speaker 26>waiting to hear from Susan in a more meaningful way.

1:02:29.920 --> 1:02:31.640
<v Speaker 26>Of course, it's the first time that we've had a

1:02:31.720 --> 1:02:35.680
<v Speaker 26>Liberal leader address the National Press Club since February twenty

1:02:35.720 --> 1:02:38.800
<v Speaker 26>twenty two, which was the then Prime Minister Scott Morrison.

1:02:38.840 --> 1:02:41.440
<v Speaker 26>Who was under a lot of pressure at the time

1:02:41.600 --> 1:02:45.520
<v Speaker 26>over the COVID vaccine mandates. In fact, that that very

1:02:45.680 --> 1:02:48.600
<v Speaker 26>dress he had a whole host of anti vaccine mandate

1:02:48.680 --> 1:02:51.520
<v Speaker 26>protest as swarming the building. He was having to field

1:02:51.520 --> 1:02:54.880
<v Speaker 26>a lot of questions around his very disastrous decision to

1:02:54.920 --> 1:02:58.080
<v Speaker 26>go to Hawaii during the bushfires, the rising cost of

1:02:58.200 --> 1:03:01.840
<v Speaker 26>bills petrol as well, and then surely not long after

1:03:02.000 --> 1:03:05.400
<v Speaker 26>he was voted out and Anthony Alberanze's Labor government was

1:03:05.440 --> 1:03:08.240
<v Speaker 26>voted in. So I was very intrigued to hear what

1:03:08.320 --> 1:03:10.560
<v Speaker 26>Susan had to say. Of course, the sentiments of defeat,

1:03:10.640 --> 1:03:12.640
<v Speaker 26>I guess are very much sort of the same three

1:03:12.680 --> 1:03:14.960
<v Speaker 26>years down the line within the Liberal Party because we've

1:03:14.960 --> 1:03:19.280
<v Speaker 26>just come off this historic belting at the election, and

1:03:19.520 --> 1:03:22.720
<v Speaker 26>Susan made it very clear in her speech that they

1:03:22.800 --> 1:03:25.440
<v Speaker 26>recognized that they had been smashed, and we know that

1:03:25.520 --> 1:03:28.520
<v Speaker 26>because of the figures, right. I thought her speech overall

1:03:28.640 --> 1:03:30.600
<v Speaker 26>was very safe, and I know that a lot of

1:03:30.640 --> 1:03:32.920
<v Speaker 26>people have reacted to it already and said that they

1:03:32.920 --> 1:03:36.400
<v Speaker 26>felt very uninspired, and you know, particularly this issue of

1:03:36.600 --> 1:03:39.640
<v Speaker 26>quotas and more women in Parliament. She acknowledged that that

1:03:39.800 --> 1:03:42.520
<v Speaker 26>is something that they need to do more within the

1:03:42.600 --> 1:03:43.320
<v Speaker 26>Liberal Party.

1:03:43.440 --> 1:03:45.040
<v Speaker 2>Well, this is exactly what she had to say.

1:03:45.280 --> 1:03:49.160
<v Speaker 23>If some state divisions choose to implement quotas, that's fine.

1:03:49.240 --> 1:03:52.880
<v Speaker 23>If others don't, that's also fine. But what is not

1:03:53.080 --> 1:03:55.640
<v Speaker 23>fine is not having enough women.

1:03:55.880 --> 1:03:59.320
<v Speaker 2>So just to clarify that, she's not advocating, she's not

1:03:59.360 --> 1:04:01.160
<v Speaker 2>saying there will be quotas, but she says if the

1:04:01.160 --> 1:04:03.320
<v Speaker 2>states want quotas, that's okay. But if another state doesn't

1:04:03.320 --> 1:04:05.000
<v Speaker 2>want quote as, that's okay. It's all okay.

1:04:05.160 --> 1:04:07.600
<v Speaker 26>It just you know what I didn't like again, and

1:04:07.680 --> 1:04:09.840
<v Speaker 26>it was very safe, and I think in these early

1:04:09.880 --> 1:04:12.960
<v Speaker 26>stages of them committing to this review, which she referenced

1:04:12.960 --> 1:04:15.760
<v Speaker 26>and spoke about in the aftermath of this historic loss,

1:04:16.560 --> 1:04:18.520
<v Speaker 26>you know, she didn't come out as strongly on a

1:04:18.520 --> 1:04:20.680
<v Speaker 26>lot of issues, of course, but it's the straddling of

1:04:20.720 --> 1:04:23.600
<v Speaker 26>the fence in this instance. You know, you're saying that

1:04:23.680 --> 1:04:26.040
<v Speaker 26>you need more women to come into the Liberal Party

1:04:26.080 --> 1:04:28.280
<v Speaker 26>to solve this so called women problem. You want to

1:04:28.280 --> 1:04:30.840
<v Speaker 26>see more women aspiring to be within the Liberal Party

1:04:30.880 --> 1:04:33.800
<v Speaker 26>and to pursue a life in politics. But what are

1:04:33.800 --> 1:04:36.040
<v Speaker 26>you going to do to address that?

1:04:36.320 --> 1:04:38.480
<v Speaker 2>And I certainly.

1:04:38.160 --> 1:04:40.439
<v Speaker 26>Don't know what the pathway is going forward. I don't

1:04:40.480 --> 1:04:43.400
<v Speaker 26>have all the answers. I don't agree with quotas because

1:04:43.440 --> 1:04:45.520
<v Speaker 26>I think it should be the best person for the

1:04:45.640 --> 1:04:50.440
<v Speaker 26>job that we prioritize. To insinuate that the party lost

1:04:50.480 --> 1:04:52.600
<v Speaker 26>of this election because they didn't have a woman as

1:04:52.600 --> 1:04:54.480
<v Speaker 26>a leader, or because they didn't have more women within

1:04:54.480 --> 1:04:56.480
<v Speaker 26>the Liberal Party, I think is very foolish.

1:04:56.640 --> 1:04:58.920
<v Speaker 2>Was there anything within the speech that you thought, oh, yeah,

1:04:58.920 --> 1:05:01.320
<v Speaker 2>I agree with that me a future direction of the

1:05:01.360 --> 1:05:01.920
<v Speaker 2>Liberal Party?

1:05:02.000 --> 1:05:02.240
<v Speaker 13>Hmm?

1:05:02.760 --> 1:05:03.280
<v Speaker 1>Not really?

1:05:03.520 --> 1:05:05.880
<v Speaker 26>Wow, if I'm being brutally honest, And again that's because

1:05:05.880 --> 1:05:08.560
<v Speaker 26>she played it so safe. The thing that really stuck

1:05:08.600 --> 1:05:10.560
<v Speaker 26>out to me the most, and I think is going

1:05:10.600 --> 1:05:13.200
<v Speaker 26>to be a great source of tension between the Liberal

1:05:13.200 --> 1:05:16.280
<v Speaker 26>Party and the Nationals themselves, is this issue of net

1:05:16.360 --> 1:05:19.320
<v Speaker 26>zero because she did allude to it, she did reference it,

1:05:19.680 --> 1:05:23.200
<v Speaker 26>and I think from based on her comments, it's sounding

1:05:23.400 --> 1:05:25.720
<v Speaker 26>very much like she wants to stay committed to the

1:05:25.800 --> 1:05:29.040
<v Speaker 26>net zero pathway, but we know the Nats don't want to.

1:05:29.280 --> 1:05:32.240
<v Speaker 2>Now is not the time to play it safe. Reality is,

1:05:32.480 --> 1:05:34.960
<v Speaker 2>the Liberals the Coalition have only got a tiny chance

1:05:35.000 --> 1:05:38.400
<v Speaker 2>winning the next election. They're so far behind, So isn't

1:05:38.480 --> 1:05:40.960
<v Speaker 2>now the time to actually take some risk as a party,

1:05:41.280 --> 1:05:44.600
<v Speaker 2>try to make some noise. You mentioned inspire. We kept

1:05:44.600 --> 1:05:47.080
<v Speaker 2>everyone kept commenting during the election campaign how all of

1:05:47.120 --> 1:05:49.880
<v Speaker 2>our leaders were uninspiring. Isn't now the time to go,

1:05:49.960 --> 1:05:51.880
<v Speaker 2>you know what, let's throw the rule book out and

1:05:51.960 --> 1:05:53.120
<v Speaker 2>let's just be a bit out there.

1:05:53.360 --> 1:05:55.720
<v Speaker 26>Absolutely, But as I said, to be fair to them,

1:05:55.800 --> 1:05:57.640
<v Speaker 26>I think in the aftermath of this loss and the

1:05:57.680 --> 1:05:59.800
<v Speaker 26>fact that they have committed to this inquiry, they have

1:05:59.840 --> 1:06:02.960
<v Speaker 26>to first go through the post mortem analysis of what

1:06:03.000 --> 1:06:06.800
<v Speaker 26>it is that they determined to be the greatest fault

1:06:06.800 --> 1:06:09.320
<v Speaker 26>of the party and the campaign. You know, I've spoken

1:06:09.360 --> 1:06:12.040
<v Speaker 26>to some big wigs within the party myself, you know,

1:06:12.160 --> 1:06:14.840
<v Speaker 26>and they certainly had sentiments where they felt like everything

1:06:14.920 --> 1:06:18.360
<v Speaker 26>was going well for Peter Dutton up until February, and

1:06:18.400 --> 1:06:20.760
<v Speaker 26>they felt quite positively about how he was tracking in

1:06:20.800 --> 1:06:22.760
<v Speaker 26>the polls. And when I sort of mentioned to them,

1:06:22.960 --> 1:06:25.200
<v Speaker 26>you know, this idea of well, was it the working

1:06:25.280 --> 1:06:28.200
<v Speaker 26>from home policy that seemed to be an issue for them,

1:06:28.400 --> 1:06:31.160
<v Speaker 26>they didn't bite that. They didn't believe that, and some

1:06:31.200 --> 1:06:33.720
<v Speaker 26>of them in fact even insinuated that they believe that

1:06:34.120 --> 1:06:36.800
<v Speaker 26>Jane Hume was set up right, that that was all

1:06:36.840 --> 1:06:39.120
<v Speaker 26>by design. And that was an intention to get her

1:06:39.200 --> 1:06:43.160
<v Speaker 26>out internally. So there are still a lot of issues

1:06:43.200 --> 1:06:45.800
<v Speaker 26>that are permeating within the Liberal Party. And it pains

1:06:45.800 --> 1:06:48.200
<v Speaker 26>me to say it because I've been very transparent as always. Clinton.

1:06:48.240 --> 1:06:50.000
<v Speaker 26>A lot of our regular listeners know that I've always

1:06:50.000 --> 1:06:52.720
<v Speaker 26>been a big fan of the Liberal Party, always voted conservative,

1:06:52.760 --> 1:06:54.560
<v Speaker 26>but this was the first time at this election that

1:06:54.640 --> 1:06:58.160
<v Speaker 26>I didn't because a lot of people are feeling disenfranchised.

1:06:58.200 --> 1:06:59.360
<v Speaker 26>We need more conviction.

1:07:00.160 --> 1:07:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Susan Lee's speech, what do you think of it? Let

1:07:02.040 --> 1:07:04.760
<v Speaker 2>us know and do you support quotas one three, one

1:07:04.800 --> 1:07:07.160
<v Speaker 2>eight seven three. We are getting lots of messages about

1:07:07.200 --> 1:07:09.840
<v Speaker 2>men and their wedding rings. We'll come to those next.

1:07:09.920 --> 1:07:12.240
<v Speaker 2>Lucy's elich with me. Lucy's elich is with me one three,

1:07:12.240 --> 1:07:14.720
<v Speaker 2>one eight seven three for straight shooters. Now, I'm getting

1:07:14.760 --> 1:07:17.040
<v Speaker 2>quite a few messages here, Lucy about the wedding ring

1:07:17.080 --> 1:07:20.040
<v Speaker 2>that hasn't come off my finger in twenty years. Patricia

1:07:20.040 --> 1:07:22.280
<v Speaker 2>has an idea. They can cut the ring off, they

1:07:22.320 --> 1:07:23.960
<v Speaker 2>can resize it and then clean it.

1:07:24.480 --> 1:07:26.880
<v Speaker 26>Would you be interested in that, Clinton, Well.

1:07:26.960 --> 1:07:29.360
<v Speaker 2>Look, it isn't looking all that flash these days.

1:07:29.600 --> 1:07:32.000
<v Speaker 26>It could do with the Clanton I clean mine quite regularly.

1:07:32.280 --> 1:07:34.040
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's why I want the DENTI Jennie Prize to

1:07:34.040 --> 1:07:36.840
<v Speaker 2>go off, because I want to clean my ring. Noel says, here,

1:07:36.880 --> 1:07:39.360
<v Speaker 2>have you thought about losing some weight Clinton to get

1:07:39.360 --> 1:07:40.040
<v Speaker 2>the ring off?

1:07:40.280 --> 1:07:42.600
<v Speaker 26>I think you're slim enough. Let's leave him alone.

1:07:42.640 --> 1:07:45.400
<v Speaker 2>I've decided after the cruise, I am starting a proper diet.

1:07:45.520 --> 1:07:47.600
<v Speaker 26>No then, what's going to be left of your Clinton?

1:07:47.640 --> 1:07:51.400
<v Speaker 2>So much? It is starting after the cruise.

1:07:51.440 --> 1:07:51.600
<v Speaker 1>Now.

1:07:51.680 --> 1:07:57.840
<v Speaker 2>Wally watched Susan Lee's address. Hello, Wally, Yes, Lucy, how

1:07:57.840 --> 1:07:58.520
<v Speaker 2>are you good.

1:07:58.560 --> 1:08:01.040
<v Speaker 27>I had the opportunity need to be at National Press

1:08:01.040 --> 1:08:04.080
<v Speaker 27>Con today and I thought her speech and the way

1:08:04.120 --> 1:08:07.840
<v Speaker 27>she presented was aspiring something that would have but I

1:08:07.840 --> 1:08:10.160
<v Speaker 27>think it was good to have a female leader being

1:08:10.320 --> 1:08:13.360
<v Speaker 27>little party there and she talked about lot of I think,

1:08:13.840 --> 1:08:16.800
<v Speaker 27>apart from the summer things about Zerah and I think

1:08:16.840 --> 1:08:21.160
<v Speaker 27>the issues about women's but women are faced with domestic.

1:08:20.800 --> 1:08:22.599
<v Speaker 24>Violence, how women work in the.

1:08:22.520 --> 1:08:27.679
<v Speaker 27>Workplace, the issues about that women face every day came

1:08:27.720 --> 1:08:30.240
<v Speaker 27>across quite well. And the women that were on my

1:08:30.360 --> 1:08:33.960
<v Speaker 27>table as she clapped, and I thought that was a

1:08:33.960 --> 1:08:38.639
<v Speaker 27>good indication that obviously it's resignating. Now, how that goes

1:08:38.680 --> 1:08:41.920
<v Speaker 27>to social media. How does go with Maine media. I'm

1:08:41.920 --> 1:08:45.080
<v Speaker 27>not sure there was no killer punch from many of

1:08:45.160 --> 1:08:48.360
<v Speaker 27>the media questions. So I think the thing is, if

1:08:48.800 --> 1:08:52.960
<v Speaker 27>you gave her out of ten a seven, she came

1:08:53.000 --> 1:08:56.400
<v Speaker 27>across not far better than Dunton or Morrison or even Termal.

1:08:57.320 --> 1:08:59.880
<v Speaker 27>She just had the time to talk about women's women.

1:09:00.640 --> 1:09:03.040
<v Speaker 27>And I think that's the biggest problem that we're Basically

1:09:03.439 --> 1:09:07.439
<v Speaker 27>we've had male leaders that don't really understand what women

1:09:07.439 --> 1:09:10.120
<v Speaker 27>are faced with. So inspiring about aspect.

1:09:11.080 --> 1:09:13.679
<v Speaker 26>I think they're fair points Wally, but here's the issue

1:09:13.680 --> 1:09:16.600
<v Speaker 26>that I have. It's very easy for our politicians to

1:09:16.640 --> 1:09:19.160
<v Speaker 26>stand up and to make these inspiring comments about we

1:09:19.200 --> 1:09:21.000
<v Speaker 26>need to see more women in parliament, we need to

1:09:21.000 --> 1:09:24.480
<v Speaker 26>protect women and girls from domestic violence and these abusive situations,

1:09:24.520 --> 1:09:26.680
<v Speaker 26>and we need to do more to support them. What

1:09:26.960 --> 1:09:30.200
<v Speaker 26>does that look like in policy form? And these are

1:09:30.240 --> 1:09:32.599
<v Speaker 26>the things Clinton that that I want people to start

1:09:32.640 --> 1:09:36.160
<v Speaker 26>really thinking about more critically, move past the gender, move

1:09:36.280 --> 1:09:38.559
<v Speaker 26>past all of those other issues, and start to think

1:09:38.600 --> 1:09:41.759
<v Speaker 26>about what these ambitions look like in policy.

1:09:41.880 --> 1:09:44.559
<v Speaker 27>What do you think, well, we I feel they agree

1:09:44.720 --> 1:09:46.519
<v Speaker 27>and I don't think a little party have a policy,

1:09:46.600 --> 1:09:48.240
<v Speaker 27>they have a policy that went took the election.

1:09:48.640 --> 1:09:49.479
<v Speaker 2>So there are a lot of people.

1:09:49.720 --> 1:09:51.600
<v Speaker 27>I mean, if you ask people what they need, the

1:09:51.680 --> 1:09:54.400
<v Speaker 27>policy was no one could do. So I asked a

1:09:54.400 --> 1:09:55.920
<v Speaker 27>little party person, what's your policy?

1:09:56.000 --> 1:09:56.559
<v Speaker 25>Good jobby?

1:09:56.720 --> 1:09:58.840
<v Speaker 2>There are money, Yeah, and that's their problem. I just

1:09:58.880 --> 1:10:01.280
<v Speaker 2>want to break into this discuss going across the Stanton

1:10:01.360 --> 1:10:03.800
<v Speaker 2>in Surrey Hills where there's a fire Stanton. What have

1:10:03.840 --> 1:10:06.240
<v Speaker 2>you seen, mate Clinton?

1:10:06.720 --> 1:10:10.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the big file, the stigmative floor of the City Mission.

1:10:11.640 --> 1:10:13.080
<v Speaker 11>Find pleaser here now it's trying.

1:10:12.880 --> 1:10:18.120
<v Speaker 2>To okay, So it's the City Mission building in Surrey Hills.

1:10:18.160 --> 1:10:20.400
<v Speaker 2>We'll get some details about that off air. We just

1:10:20.439 --> 1:10:23.080
<v Speaker 2>need to find out the location of that City Mission building.

1:10:23.080 --> 1:10:25.200
<v Speaker 2>It is on fire at the moment. Fire and rescue

1:10:25.520 --> 1:10:26.840
<v Speaker 2>is on the way at the moment. We'll bring you

1:10:26.880 --> 1:10:29.040
<v Speaker 2>some more details in just a moment. Just a reminder,

1:10:29.120 --> 1:10:31.559
<v Speaker 2>major traffic problems Pennet Hills Road at the moment right

1:10:31.560 --> 1:10:35.160
<v Speaker 2>throughout Carlingford, particularly around Shirley Street. That's where the crane

1:10:35.240 --> 1:10:37.880
<v Speaker 2>the Merriton building site is on a lean. So they've

1:10:37.880 --> 1:10:41.000
<v Speaker 2>had to close Pennant Hills Road both directions Carlingford at

1:10:41.000 --> 1:10:43.639
<v Speaker 2>Shirley Street while the emergency crews attend to the crane

1:10:43.760 --> 1:10:46.719
<v Speaker 2>that's been pushed during the wind. John in dun Dass,

1:10:46.800 --> 1:10:48.759
<v Speaker 2>what were your impressions of Susan Lee today.

1:10:49.760 --> 1:10:51.160
<v Speaker 8>Look, I didn't.

1:10:50.960 --> 1:10:53.320
<v Speaker 28>Actually see her speaks, but however I've seen a lot

1:10:53.360 --> 1:10:57.919
<v Speaker 28>of what she talks about. And Lucy's lh fantastic. Absolutely

1:10:58.080 --> 1:11:01.360
<v Speaker 28>need someone like her, if not her, that that speaks

1:11:01.479 --> 1:11:03.920
<v Speaker 28>non populist politics, you know what I mean. Lots of

1:11:04.240 --> 1:11:06.960
<v Speaker 28>bells and whistles, but no steam as what I see

1:11:06.960 --> 1:11:10.080
<v Speaker 28>in the current liberal party, the left that infiltrated them.

1:11:10.160 --> 1:11:11.479
<v Speaker 13>And I'm not happy.

1:11:11.479 --> 1:11:13.479
<v Speaker 28>We're not happy. We're still it's like a dead ends,

1:11:13.520 --> 1:11:15.599
<v Speaker 28>the same old stuff over and over again.

1:11:16.080 --> 1:11:16.799
<v Speaker 2>And they talk.

1:11:16.640 --> 1:11:18.479
<v Speaker 26>About thank you for your com words, by the way,

1:11:18.479 --> 1:11:19.920
<v Speaker 26>But the issue that I have is that they talk

1:11:19.920 --> 1:11:24.360
<v Speaker 26>about being an alternative government. What are your alternatives to

1:11:24.439 --> 1:11:26.240
<v Speaker 26>the existing government. I mean, a lot of us feel

1:11:26.320 --> 1:11:28.400
<v Speaker 26>like they're on this labor light diet and they're not

1:11:28.439 --> 1:11:29.519
<v Speaker 26>willing to give it up.

1:11:29.520 --> 1:11:31.759
<v Speaker 2>And tell us now, don't wait until the next election.

1:11:31.920 --> 1:11:34.800
<v Speaker 2>Now a little birdie has told me you are a

1:11:34.880 --> 1:11:37.479
<v Speaker 2>closet lover of reality television. AHH.

1:11:38.160 --> 1:11:40.200
<v Speaker 26>I'm really glad we're talking about this because there's a

1:11:40.240 --> 1:11:43.680
<v Speaker 26>lot of shame and stigma that surrounds reality television. And

1:11:43.720 --> 1:11:45.640
<v Speaker 26>I have to say the reason I do have a

1:11:45.640 --> 1:11:48.519
<v Speaker 26>pension for it is because we operate in some pretty

1:11:48.520 --> 1:11:50.960
<v Speaker 26>serious news cycles, right Clinton, and I think we've all

1:11:51.000 --> 1:11:53.000
<v Speaker 26>been very fatigued by what's occurring in the Middle East

1:11:53.040 --> 1:11:55.439
<v Speaker 26>and has done for you know, close to two years now.

1:11:55.720 --> 1:11:57.439
<v Speaker 26>But also in the world of politics, it can all

1:11:57.439 --> 1:11:59.120
<v Speaker 26>be very dry. I's spent a lot of my nights

1:11:59.120 --> 1:12:01.559
<v Speaker 26>in bed with my kids, watching Question Time and listening

1:12:01.640 --> 1:12:03.840
<v Speaker 26>to press club addresses and all of these things. So

1:12:03.960 --> 1:12:06.880
<v Speaker 26>I need an outlet, something mindless where I don't have

1:12:06.960 --> 1:12:09.160
<v Speaker 26>to think, and I can observe a circus of a

1:12:09.160 --> 1:12:13.800
<v Speaker 26>different kind. And it happens to be the Real Housewives franchise.

1:12:14.479 --> 1:12:15.840
<v Speaker 26>Please don't hate me.

1:12:15.840 --> 1:12:19.800
<v Speaker 2>For it, would you Okay, would you put your hand up?

1:12:19.840 --> 1:12:21.960
<v Speaker 2>You are a very proud housewife, right, would you put

1:12:21.960 --> 1:12:24.799
<v Speaker 2>your hand up to appear in the Real Housewives of Sydney.

1:12:24.840 --> 1:12:25.000
<v Speaker 24>Oh?

1:12:25.040 --> 1:12:28.040
<v Speaker 26>No, I enjoy watching other people behave toxically. I don't

1:12:28.040 --> 1:12:31.120
<v Speaker 26>want to be part of that particular circus myself.

1:12:31.520 --> 1:12:33.920
<v Speaker 2>Just an update on the Mission Australia fire. So there's

1:12:33.920 --> 1:12:36.760
<v Speaker 2>a fire that's broken out. The mission Australia building which

1:12:36.800 --> 1:12:40.080
<v Speaker 2>is in Surrey Hills the corner of Denham Street Campbell Street.

1:12:40.200 --> 1:12:42.680
<v Speaker 2>Stand told us about that a little earlier. I've just

1:12:42.760 --> 1:12:45.240
<v Speaker 2>been sent some vision. So there is a fire on

1:12:45.280 --> 1:12:47.800
<v Speaker 2>the fourth floor of the building. There are flames and

1:12:47.920 --> 1:12:51.040
<v Speaker 2>smoke actually pouring out of one of the windows on

1:12:51.080 --> 1:12:53.719
<v Speaker 2>the fourth floor. There are thirty six firefighters on the scene.

1:12:53.760 --> 1:12:56.639
<v Speaker 2>They do have water on the fire. Hopefully they can

1:12:56.680 --> 1:12:59.320
<v Speaker 2>actually contain that fire from spreading throughout the rest of

1:12:59.320 --> 1:12:59.759
<v Speaker 2>the building.

1:13:00.400 --> 1:13:03.320
<v Speaker 26>Can I also say, driving in this afternoon on the

1:13:03.439 --> 1:13:06.360
<v Speaker 26>M two, that felt a bit like an extreme sport

1:13:06.479 --> 1:13:08.320
<v Speaker 26>in the current wins and you know a lot of

1:13:08.360 --> 1:13:10.439
<v Speaker 26>the cars these days, modern cars are equipped with all

1:13:10.439 --> 1:13:12.640
<v Speaker 26>of the sensors and the wind was carrying me to

1:13:12.680 --> 1:13:14.800
<v Speaker 26>the point where the sensors started to go off on

1:13:14.880 --> 1:13:17.360
<v Speaker 26>either side. So just be careful out on the roads,

1:13:17.439 --> 1:13:18.760
<v Speaker 26>particularly the motorways.

1:13:18.920 --> 1:13:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Just before we wrap up, I want your thoughts on

1:13:21.200 --> 1:13:23.360
<v Speaker 2>this as a sporting commentator, and you've spent a lot

1:13:23.400 --> 1:13:26.200
<v Speaker 2>of time calling big sport. There has been a World

1:13:26.280 --> 1:13:29.559
<v Speaker 2>Championship Athletics event that's taking place in the Czech Republic

1:13:29.600 --> 1:13:31.559
<v Speaker 2>at the moment. Chris Robinson is one of the best

1:13:31.640 --> 1:13:34.559
<v Speaker 2>hurdlers in the world. He won the four hundred meters

1:13:34.680 --> 1:13:39.759
<v Speaker 2>hurdle overnight, but he did suffer a wardrobe malfunction while running.

1:13:39.840 --> 1:13:43.000
<v Speaker 9>Chris Robinson absolutely flying down the backstreet, just stopping to

1:13:43.040 --> 1:13:45.599
<v Speaker 9>adjust their shorts halfway through the race, and.

1:13:45.560 --> 1:13:48.520
<v Speaker 26>That Chris Robinson strides into that hurd or what concentration

1:13:48.880 --> 1:13:49.800
<v Speaker 26>to keep himself going?

1:13:49.840 --> 1:13:50.000
<v Speaker 4>Here?

1:13:50.439 --> 1:13:52.280
<v Speaker 1>Chris Robinson with just a few.

1:13:52.080 --> 1:13:53.760
<v Speaker 2>Flights left to go with it, so he went on

1:13:53.800 --> 1:13:57.640
<v Speaker 2>and won the race. Lucy now as the excellent commentator there,

1:13:57.680 --> 1:14:01.960
<v Speaker 2>says he's trying to adjust his I'll leave it up

1:14:01.960 --> 1:14:04.639
<v Speaker 2>to imagination of why he needed to adjust his shorts

1:14:04.720 --> 1:14:07.639
<v Speaker 2>as he was running. He actually had one hand destan

1:14:07.760 --> 1:14:10.240
<v Speaker 2>trying to keep the shorts in place. How would you

1:14:10.280 --> 1:14:10.720
<v Speaker 2>handle that?

1:14:11.600 --> 1:14:14.479
<v Speaker 26>Exactly how this commentator has handled it. I thought she

1:14:14.560 --> 1:14:19.200
<v Speaker 26>did brilliantly to disguise obviously something that was quite confronting

1:14:19.240 --> 1:14:22.320
<v Speaker 26>for a lot of viewers to witness. But it's always

1:14:22.439 --> 1:14:24.759
<v Speaker 26>very challenging in live sport because you're having to react

1:14:24.840 --> 1:14:27.880
<v Speaker 26>to some pretty hilarious but also serious moments too. So

1:14:27.960 --> 1:14:28.639
<v Speaker 26>well done to her.

1:14:28.760 --> 1:14:32.040
<v Speaker 2>Lucy' zelich Hosting Michael McLaren's program next week.

1:14:31.880 --> 1:14:34.280
<v Speaker 26>Oh, I wish me luck made us start on Friday.

1:14:34.040 --> 1:14:36.920
<v Speaker 2>Coming up after the news the latest on the Carlingford crane.

1:14:39.760 --> 1:14:44.360
<v Speaker 1>This is Sydney now with Clinton on to Ginba.

1:14:44.479 --> 1:14:46.679
<v Speaker 2>It has been a wild afternoon across Sydney. Heavy wind

1:14:46.720 --> 1:14:48.840
<v Speaker 2>still lashing much of the city. I'll bring you the

1:14:48.880 --> 1:14:51.240
<v Speaker 2>latest on the Carlingford crane in just a moment, but

1:14:51.280 --> 1:14:53.439
<v Speaker 2>I just want to bring in Superintendent Adam Dwbrey, who

1:14:53.520 --> 1:14:55.719
<v Speaker 2>can give us the latest on the fire in Surrey Hills.

1:14:55.800 --> 1:14:58.160
<v Speaker 2>A fire within the Mission Australia building on the corner

1:14:58.200 --> 1:15:02.640
<v Speaker 2>of Denham Street and Campbell Street. What's the layest, Adam.

1:15:02.960 --> 1:15:05.880
<v Speaker 11>Oh, Clinton, Yes, we do have the fire extinguish. It

1:15:05.960 --> 1:15:08.320
<v Speaker 11>is on the fourth level, which is the top level.

1:15:08.320 --> 1:15:11.799
<v Speaker 11>We've got about thirty six firefighters off twelve different trucks

1:15:11.880 --> 1:15:15.080
<v Speaker 11>on scene. We're just now going through making sure that

1:15:15.120 --> 1:15:19.920
<v Speaker 11>everyone is accounted for about thirty evacuations. But the fire

1:15:20.040 --> 1:15:21.920
<v Speaker 11>has been extinguished.

1:15:22.240 --> 1:15:23.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh, that's great news. I was just having a look

1:15:23.720 --> 1:15:25.679
<v Speaker 2>at some video that was sent to me just before

1:15:25.720 --> 1:15:28.840
<v Speaker 2>the news and it showed a lot of flame activity

1:15:28.920 --> 1:15:31.360
<v Speaker 2>pouring out of one of the windows on that fourth floor.

1:15:31.439 --> 1:15:33.960
<v Speaker 2>So it was quite a big fire within that building.

1:15:35.040 --> 1:15:37.320
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, that's right, and that's the modern furnishings we have

1:15:37.439 --> 1:15:41.679
<v Speaker 11>in not in our homes and our offices. Those fires

1:15:41.840 --> 1:15:45.839
<v Speaker 11>take hold quickly and can rip through buildings. But fortunately

1:15:45.840 --> 1:15:49.000
<v Speaker 11>Fire Rescue New South Wales who were fast response. The

1:15:49.040 --> 1:15:51.960
<v Speaker 11>firefighters climbed the stairs, got to the top and have

1:15:52.160 --> 1:15:53.120
<v Speaker 11>contained that fire.

1:15:53.280 --> 1:15:56.040
<v Speaker 2>Okay, good stuff, thank you, Adam. Superintendent Adam Debry from

1:15:56.080 --> 1:15:58.400
<v Speaker 2>Fine Rescuing New South Wales. The fire is beyond the

1:15:58.439 --> 1:16:00.960
<v Speaker 2>scene there Denham Street, Campbellstree, Eat Surrey Hills for some

1:16:01.120 --> 1:16:03.280
<v Speaker 2>time as they just mop up with the good news

1:16:03.320 --> 1:16:06.400
<v Speaker 2>is that fire is now out. Now let's switch our

1:16:06.400 --> 1:16:10.280
<v Speaker 2>focus to Carlingford. Pennant Hills Road remains closed near Shirley Street,

1:16:10.960 --> 1:16:13.599
<v Speaker 2>just near the intersection with Cumberland Highway. The traffic in

1:16:13.600 --> 1:16:16.679
<v Speaker 2>the region is an absolute nightmare. The road is closed

1:16:16.720 --> 1:16:20.120
<v Speaker 2>in both directions and this is because these powerful winds

1:16:20.160 --> 1:16:23.519
<v Speaker 2>that have lashed Sydney throughout the day have actually affected

1:16:23.520 --> 1:16:25.800
<v Speaker 2>one of the cranes. So there are four cranes at

1:16:25.840 --> 1:16:29.320
<v Speaker 2>the construction site, the big Merriton construction site. I've just

1:16:29.439 --> 1:16:32.479
<v Speaker 2>been handed a statement from the Meriton group. It says

1:16:32.520 --> 1:16:34.840
<v Speaker 2>Meriton is working to resolve the issue as a matter

1:16:34.880 --> 1:16:37.400
<v Speaker 2>of priority. We have experts working at the moment to

1:16:37.439 --> 1:16:41.439
<v Speaker 2>stabilize the crane. Meretans notified Safe Work New South Wales.

1:16:41.479 --> 1:16:44.080
<v Speaker 2>They're working closely with New South Wales Police and New

1:16:44.080 --> 1:16:46.639
<v Speaker 2>South Wales Fire and Rescue. So just to paint a picture,

1:16:47.280 --> 1:16:49.840
<v Speaker 2>this is a massive housing development, a really big unit

1:16:49.880 --> 1:16:53.680
<v Speaker 2>development in Carlingford. It seems to span several blocks and

1:16:53.720 --> 1:16:56.759
<v Speaker 2>there are four cranes there that would be probably between

1:16:56.800 --> 1:17:01.519
<v Speaker 2>forty and fifty meters tall, big white crane, and one

1:17:01.560 --> 1:17:04.400
<v Speaker 2>of those cranes in the middle of the four its

1:17:04.640 --> 1:17:09.879
<v Speaker 2>vertical mount is actually leaning back about fifteen twenty degrees.

1:17:10.320 --> 1:17:14.160
<v Speaker 2>So it's an issue with the effectively the foundations of

1:17:14.160 --> 1:17:17.000
<v Speaker 2>that crane at the moment, and as Merton says, they're

1:17:17.000 --> 1:17:21.000
<v Speaker 2>bringing those experts in to ensure that he's secured. Now

1:17:21.240 --> 1:17:23.120
<v Speaker 2>it hasn't and we've been reporting on this now over

1:17:23.120 --> 1:17:26.240
<v Speaker 2>the past two hours, it hasn't tipped further from when

1:17:26.280 --> 1:17:28.960
<v Speaker 2>we first started reporting on this. Some of the anchor

1:17:29.040 --> 1:17:32.240
<v Speaker 2>bolts at the base of that crane have failed, so

1:17:32.439 --> 1:17:34.519
<v Speaker 2>the Meritan crews are working on that right now and

1:17:34.520 --> 1:17:36.439
<v Speaker 2>they won't be able to reopen the road there for

1:17:36.520 --> 1:17:39.080
<v Speaker 2>some time. Because of it. Ray is actually in Carling.

1:17:39.360 --> 1:17:40.320
<v Speaker 2>Are you stuck in the traffic?

1:17:40.400 --> 1:17:41.719
<v Speaker 21>Ray?

1:17:41.920 --> 1:17:44.160
<v Speaker 24>No, mate, I'm sitting in a car park watching all

1:17:44.160 --> 1:17:45.920
<v Speaker 24>the traffic go by and all block up.

1:17:46.000 --> 1:17:46.360
<v Speaker 11>Mate.

1:17:46.960 --> 1:17:49.280
<v Speaker 2>You can't even get onto the road.

1:17:50.600 --> 1:17:52.960
<v Speaker 24>I'm sitting in the school car park mate, because I

1:17:53.080 --> 1:17:57.000
<v Speaker 24>work here at night and all the little streets around

1:17:57.040 --> 1:18:01.519
<v Speaker 24>here are chokker jiden. No matter what you do, if

1:18:01.520 --> 1:18:02.600
<v Speaker 24>you get off mars.

1:18:02.360 --> 1:18:05.320
<v Speaker 8>And Road at Mob's Hill or whatever, all those.

1:18:05.200 --> 1:18:08.240
<v Speaker 24>Little streets and then you've got a main drag which

1:18:08.320 --> 1:18:10.920
<v Speaker 24>they all lead back on either penn And Hill's Road

1:18:11.040 --> 1:18:12.000
<v Speaker 24>or Carling for great.

1:18:12.200 --> 1:18:14.519
<v Speaker 2>Can you actually see the crane this construction site from

1:18:14.520 --> 1:18:15.040
<v Speaker 2>where you are?

1:18:16.120 --> 1:18:19.519
<v Speaker 24>No, I'm just over the hill mate, the schools on

1:18:19.600 --> 1:18:22.040
<v Speaker 24>mars And Hill. I can walk up there and have

1:18:22.120 --> 1:18:23.400
<v Speaker 24>a look and tell you if you want.

1:18:23.479 --> 1:18:26.040
<v Speaker 2>No that I've seen some vision in the last couple

1:18:26.080 --> 1:18:28.720
<v Speaker 2>of minutes. Anyway, So thanks letting us know about that. Ray. Look,

1:18:28.760 --> 1:18:31.080
<v Speaker 2>this is going to cause problems for the rest of

1:18:31.120 --> 1:18:33.479
<v Speaker 2>the peak and into the evening. So it's it's right

1:18:33.479 --> 1:18:35.160
<v Speaker 2>around the Carling for the area road, so that the

1:18:35.200 --> 1:18:38.760
<v Speaker 2>focus is on Pennet Hills Road. New Shirley Street also

1:18:38.760 --> 1:18:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Cumberland Highway, but all the local roads, ASRAE has rightly

1:18:42.000 --> 1:18:43.320
<v Speaker 2>just informed us, are all affected.

1:18:44.000 --> 1:18:47.599
<v Speaker 4>You're listening to Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard on two

1:18:47.760 --> 1:18:51.040
<v Speaker 4>GB col now one three one eight seven three.

1:18:51.240 --> 1:18:54.840
<v Speaker 2>Fierce wind should begin easing tonight, but it's been very

1:18:54.920 --> 1:18:57.320
<v Speaker 2>damaging throughout the day. The SEES has now responded to

1:18:57.360 --> 1:18:59.280
<v Speaker 2>more than six hundred corps for help. Most of those

1:18:59.280 --> 1:19:02.599
<v Speaker 2>are on the south around Wollongong and the Illawarra. Wind

1:19:02.640 --> 1:19:05.280
<v Speaker 2>gusts of more than ninety kilometers now have been recorded

1:19:05.280 --> 1:19:08.080
<v Speaker 2>at Kernel. It's the southern part of Sydney that's been

1:19:08.240 --> 1:19:11.400
<v Speaker 2>the most effective, but most of Sydney's certainly experienced that.

1:19:11.439 --> 1:19:13.559
<v Speaker 2>You've probably experienced it throughout the day. If you come

1:19:13.560 --> 1:19:16.680
<v Speaker 2>across damage around the roads around the suburbs, let us

1:19:16.720 --> 1:19:17.960
<v Speaker 2>know about it. You can give me a call one

1:19:18.000 --> 1:19:21.320
<v Speaker 2>three one eight seven three. It's eleven past five. A

1:19:21.360 --> 1:19:25.439
<v Speaker 2>major operation has been conducted in recent months on the roads,

1:19:25.520 --> 1:19:29.360
<v Speaker 2>targeting heavy vehicles and truck drivers. In particular, it's been

1:19:29.360 --> 1:19:33.559
<v Speaker 2>conducted by the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator Operation AMEIGA two

1:19:34.160 --> 1:19:37.080
<v Speaker 2>and what this is focused on is drive for tea

1:19:37.760 --> 1:19:41.800
<v Speaker 2>drive for tigue involving the drivers of big trucks. Paul

1:19:41.840 --> 1:19:44.160
<v Speaker 2>Savati is the chief operating officer and joins us. So

1:19:44.240 --> 1:19:46.760
<v Speaker 2>thank you for your time, Paul, thank you for having

1:19:46.800 --> 1:19:50.240
<v Speaker 2>me quentin significant operation you've been involved in. You've pulled

1:19:50.280 --> 1:19:52.839
<v Speaker 2>over three thousand trucks.

1:19:53.280 --> 1:19:56.120
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, that's correct. We ran this operation initially over the

1:19:56.160 --> 1:19:58.439
<v Speaker 7>Christmas period when there's a lot of light vehicles on

1:19:58.439 --> 1:20:00.960
<v Speaker 7>the road. Given what we saw, then we thoughtould repeat

1:20:00.960 --> 1:20:04.320
<v Speaker 7>it over Easter and it did see some good results,

1:20:04.320 --> 1:20:05.879
<v Speaker 7>but also some concerning results.

1:20:05.960 --> 1:20:08.600
<v Speaker 2>What concerned you about the results.

1:20:08.360 --> 1:20:10.880
<v Speaker 7>Look for New South Wales. What we saw was we

1:20:10.920 --> 1:20:13.280
<v Speaker 7>saw about ninety seven point one percent of heavy vehicle

1:20:13.360 --> 1:20:17.160
<v Speaker 7>drivers complying with fatigue regulations, which is fantastic, but that

1:20:17.280 --> 1:20:19.920
<v Speaker 7>still means about two to three percent warrant and that's

1:20:19.960 --> 1:20:22.600
<v Speaker 7>about two percent high than what we're for over Christmas.

1:20:23.040 --> 1:20:25.719
<v Speaker 7>What that looks like Clinton for us, is some really

1:20:25.760 --> 1:20:29.439
<v Speaker 7>serious things. So we found thirteen drivers who had what

1:20:29.479 --> 1:20:33.719
<v Speaker 7>we call critical fatigue breaches. They were significantly driving longer

1:20:33.720 --> 1:20:35.720
<v Speaker 7>than that should of and that puts everyone's lives at risk.

1:20:36.360 --> 1:20:38.360
<v Speaker 2>So you found that one hundred and thirty one drivers

1:20:38.360 --> 1:20:41.720
<v Speaker 2>were non compliant with fatigue requirements. Now, I would think

1:20:41.760 --> 1:20:44.400
<v Speaker 2>and I can only speak from experience as a motorus

1:20:44.560 --> 1:20:47.400
<v Speaker 2>car driver port it's very difficult to measure fatigue. You

1:20:47.439 --> 1:20:49.240
<v Speaker 2>mentioned those fatigue requirements.

1:20:49.280 --> 1:20:52.960
<v Speaker 7>What are those under the Heavy Vehicle National Law? If

1:20:52.960 --> 1:20:56.000
<v Speaker 7>you're driving heavy vehicle over a certain weight, you have

1:20:56.080 --> 1:20:58.920
<v Speaker 7>restrictions on how long you can drive without taking a break, right,

1:20:58.960 --> 1:21:01.800
<v Speaker 7>and those laws designed to make sure we don't have

1:21:02.479 --> 1:21:06.240
<v Speaker 7>drivers driving those very big heavy vehicles falling asleep and

1:21:06.280 --> 1:21:08.920
<v Speaker 7>causing road from to a number of other motorists. So

1:21:09.080 --> 1:21:11.040
<v Speaker 7>limits how many hours you can drive, so you can

1:21:11.120 --> 1:21:12.760
<v Speaker 7>drive five and a quarter hours and a five and

1:21:12.800 --> 1:21:17.080
<v Speaker 7>a half hour period for example, you can drive in

1:21:17.120 --> 1:21:19.320
<v Speaker 7>a day it dictates Holling you can drive in a

1:21:19.760 --> 1:21:23.160
<v Speaker 7>seven day period of dictates and all those laws cleansing

1:21:23.200 --> 1:21:25.559
<v Speaker 7>a desioned to try and keep motorists safe.

1:21:27.000 --> 1:21:29.599
<v Speaker 2>How do you police that though? Is it a simple

1:21:29.680 --> 1:21:32.200
<v Speaker 2>matter of people filling out the drivers filling out a

1:21:32.240 --> 1:21:34.439
<v Speaker 2>log book or is there now a more sophisticated way

1:21:34.479 --> 1:21:36.080
<v Speaker 2>of doing it.

1:21:36.080 --> 1:21:37.799
<v Speaker 7>It's a bit of both. We still have a written

1:21:37.840 --> 1:21:40.800
<v Speaker 7>work doory, so logbook drivers can fill out. We also

1:21:40.840 --> 1:21:42.920
<v Speaker 7>have a number of providers. You have an electronic work

1:21:42.960 --> 1:21:46.200
<v Speaker 7>doory which actually automates a lot of the record keeping

1:21:46.240 --> 1:21:49.719
<v Speaker 7>for the driver and makes it easier spend the compliance

1:21:49.720 --> 1:21:52.840
<v Speaker 7>fatigue requirements. So there really is a couple of ways

1:21:52.880 --> 1:21:55.160
<v Speaker 7>and which drivers can track their hours to make sure

1:21:55.160 --> 1:21:58.280
<v Speaker 7>they are getting the brakes they need to not drive fatigued.

1:21:59.080 --> 1:22:01.800
<v Speaker 2>And I see that already this year, and this is

1:22:01.840 --> 1:22:05.200
<v Speaker 2>what is so concerning. There have been sixty fatal crashes

1:22:05.240 --> 1:22:07.760
<v Speaker 2>involving trucks around the country and fatigue would be part

1:22:07.800 --> 1:22:08.320
<v Speaker 2>of some of those.

1:22:09.400 --> 1:22:11.880
<v Speaker 7>Yeah. Absolutely, Look, fatigue is definitely one of the most

1:22:11.920 --> 1:22:15.400
<v Speaker 7>serious safety risks in the heavy vehicle industry. It's a

1:22:15.479 --> 1:22:18.839
<v Speaker 7>known contributor to road trauma, and the safety ball drivers

1:22:18.840 --> 1:22:21.360
<v Speaker 7>in the community is our priority. And Clinton what really

1:22:21.400 --> 1:22:23.800
<v Speaker 7>concerned us, Whilst there were so many drivers doing the

1:22:23.840 --> 1:22:27.160
<v Speaker 7>right thing, we saw twenty two instances with a driver

1:22:27.400 --> 1:22:31.679
<v Speaker 7>knowingly made boalse of misleading entries in their work diary. Yeah,

1:22:31.800 --> 1:22:33.920
<v Speaker 7>that's a huge concern to us. Those people are intentionally

1:22:34.000 --> 1:22:38.240
<v Speaker 7>those drivers intentionally breaching fatigued rules and putting people's lives

1:22:38.240 --> 1:22:38.639
<v Speaker 7>at risk.

1:22:38.760 --> 1:22:40.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and look, a lot of those drivers be pressured

1:22:40.600 --> 1:22:42.840
<v Speaker 2>by their companies to meet their deadline. So there's some

1:22:42.840 --> 1:22:45.519
<v Speaker 2>treasure on the transport companies themselves to do the right

1:22:45.560 --> 1:22:47.200
<v Speaker 2>thing here there is.

1:22:47.280 --> 1:22:50.800
<v Speaker 7>This industry has full with some really professional and really

1:22:50.840 --> 1:22:54.519
<v Speaker 7>safe operations, but there are some organizations who do pressure

1:22:54.520 --> 1:22:56.960
<v Speaker 7>their drivers. And we always tell drivers, if you feel

1:22:57.000 --> 1:23:00.000
<v Speaker 7>pressured to drive when you're fatigued, caller or heavy beer,

1:23:00.080 --> 1:23:03.120
<v Speaker 7>call Confidential Reporting Hotline one eight hundred and ninety three

1:23:03.200 --> 1:23:05.840
<v Speaker 7>one seven five and let us know and we can

1:23:05.880 --> 1:23:06.400
<v Speaker 7>come and help.

1:23:06.600 --> 1:23:09.479
<v Speaker 2>Thanks your time today, Paul, Thank you very much. Paul's

1:23:09.479 --> 1:23:12.839
<v Speaker 2>about who's the COO of the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator.

1:23:12.880 --> 1:23:15.960
<v Speaker 2>It's important stuff and it is very difficult to measure

1:23:16.000 --> 1:23:19.040
<v Speaker 2>for TEA, particularly with US car drivers. But there are

1:23:19.080 --> 1:23:21.439
<v Speaker 2>other logbook systems. There are some more sophisticated ways of

1:23:21.479 --> 1:23:24.479
<v Speaker 2>doing it, and it's important that those rules were enforced.

1:23:25.400 --> 1:23:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Sidney. Now on to gb.

1:23:28.160 --> 1:23:30.120
<v Speaker 2>Now, I brought you the information a little earlier about

1:23:30.120 --> 1:23:33.120
<v Speaker 2>what's happening at Westmead Hospital. I've been informed that as

1:23:33.120 --> 1:23:36.800
<v Speaker 2>many as ten interventional radiologists have quit their jobs in

1:23:36.840 --> 1:23:39.400
<v Speaker 2>the past week. Now this comes on top of the

1:23:39.400 --> 1:23:42.479
<v Speaker 2>revelations we brought yesterday that there will be a special

1:23:42.520 --> 1:23:45.559
<v Speaker 2>meeting of staff tomorrow night. It'll be Led'll be around

1:23:45.560 --> 1:23:48.200
<v Speaker 2>this time tomorrow. It'll be led by senior specialists who

1:23:48.200 --> 1:23:51.200
<v Speaker 2>work at Westmead Hospital. They'll be conducting a vote, a

1:23:51.320 --> 1:23:54.040
<v Speaker 2>vote and no confidence in the management of Westmead Hospital.

1:23:54.560 --> 1:23:57.160
<v Speaker 2>It's pretty serious stuff. That comes on top of the

1:23:57.160 --> 1:24:00.160
<v Speaker 2>revelations made this week that there are problems within the

1:24:00.200 --> 1:24:04.960
<v Speaker 2>Neonatal Intensive unit as well within Westmead Hospital. Claims that

1:24:05.040 --> 1:24:08.160
<v Speaker 2>babies have been treated in corridors, babies have been treated

1:24:08.200 --> 1:24:11.160
<v Speaker 2>in storerooms. Now the government denies they're being treated in

1:24:11.160 --> 1:24:14.000
<v Speaker 2>the storeroom, but I've been told by midwife that well,

1:24:14.200 --> 1:24:16.160
<v Speaker 2>it is a room that was used as a storeroom

1:24:16.200 --> 1:24:20.720
<v Speaker 2>has now effectively been retro fitted. The resources aren't good

1:24:20.800 --> 1:24:23.599
<v Speaker 2>enough clearly. Now. The Western Sydney Local Area Health District

1:24:23.600 --> 1:24:25.439
<v Speaker 2>has just been in contact with us to talk about

1:24:25.800 --> 1:24:29.040
<v Speaker 2>the radiologists and they say the interventional radiologists are are

1:24:29.080 --> 1:24:33.040
<v Speaker 2>highly specialized medical profession providing a critical service of patients

1:24:33.120 --> 1:24:37.439
<v Speaker 2>requiring minimally invasive procedures under a medical image in guidance.

1:24:38.040 --> 1:24:42.560
<v Speaker 2>The Interventional Radiology Service in Western Sydney supports the diagnosis

1:24:42.560 --> 1:24:45.439
<v Speaker 2>and treatment of ranger conditions, including patients presenting with cardiac

1:24:45.439 --> 1:24:49.920
<v Speaker 2>complications so heart problems. The service remains fully staffed and

1:24:49.960 --> 1:24:52.479
<v Speaker 2>operational well. I can only take their word off it.

1:24:52.560 --> 1:24:56.040
<v Speaker 2>That's good, but based on my information that ten have

1:24:56.120 --> 1:24:59.360
<v Speaker 2>resigned in the last week, they must have found replacements

1:24:59.560 --> 1:25:03.479
<v Speaker 2>very very quickly. Seventeen past five, police are still looking

1:25:03.560 --> 1:25:05.600
<v Speaker 2>for up to eleven men who were involved in that

1:25:05.720 --> 1:25:08.719
<v Speaker 2>brawl on the Merit and it's another Meritan construction site

1:25:08.720 --> 1:25:11.800
<v Speaker 2>was actually outside in Castle Hill yesterday and we brought

1:25:11.840 --> 1:25:13.960
<v Speaker 2>you that news through Mark Leevy. The video that was

1:25:14.000 --> 1:25:17.559
<v Speaker 2>released that shows all these tradees dressed up in yellow

1:25:17.680 --> 1:25:21.360
<v Speaker 2>and orange fluorescent attacking each other. Well, today two men

1:25:21.400 --> 1:25:23.720
<v Speaker 2>have been arrested, twenty two year old forty four year old,

1:25:23.840 --> 1:25:27.479
<v Speaker 2>their father and son and actually handed themselves into the police.

1:25:27.600 --> 1:25:30.439
<v Speaker 2>They're alleged to be the ringleaders of what happened, and

1:25:30.479 --> 1:25:32.559
<v Speaker 2>I spoke with the police elder in the program. They

1:25:32.560 --> 1:25:35.960
<v Speaker 2>are contractors. They'd been terminated from their role on Friday

1:25:36.560 --> 1:25:38.640
<v Speaker 2>and then they turned up back to the site to

1:25:38.960 --> 1:25:42.280
<v Speaker 2>quote resolve their issues. But they turned up with hammers

1:25:42.840 --> 1:25:45.519
<v Speaker 2>and they weren't planning on hammering any nails at the

1:25:45.560 --> 1:25:50.400
<v Speaker 2>scene forget Mond Drift. Anyway, The police have arrested those

1:25:50.439 --> 1:25:52.720
<v Speaker 2>two men and they're going to be facing charges. But

1:25:52.760 --> 1:25:55.639
<v Speaker 2>there are still eleven others that they're looking for and

1:25:55.720 --> 1:25:59.120
<v Speaker 2>they're releasing some video imaging to track them down. Word

1:25:59.120 --> 1:26:00.880
<v Speaker 2>on the street Things to ten for a great night sleep,

1:26:00.960 --> 1:26:04.240
<v Speaker 2>night after night. The difference is James won our pillows

1:26:04.320 --> 1:26:06.040
<v Speaker 2>a couple of weeks ago, so every week we give

1:26:06.080 --> 1:26:09.479
<v Speaker 2>away two Temper Primate cooling pillows worth six hundred dollars

1:26:09.479 --> 1:26:11.599
<v Speaker 2>and it takes a few weeks for those temper pillows

1:26:11.600 --> 1:26:13.920
<v Speaker 2>to be sent out. They'll be on their way soon, James.

1:26:13.960 --> 1:26:17.600
<v Speaker 2>But James told us about all this rubbish that have

1:26:17.720 --> 1:26:20.640
<v Speaker 2>been left at Henry Lawson Drive, Padstow Heights, and then

1:26:20.640 --> 1:26:23.040
<v Speaker 2>there were heavy vehicles that were parked along the road

1:26:23.040 --> 1:26:26.559
<v Speaker 2>and they were effectively hiding the rubbish and the local

1:26:26.600 --> 1:26:29.519
<v Speaker 2>council hadn't done anything about this rubbish that had been dumped.

1:26:29.520 --> 1:26:32.080
<v Speaker 2>And James had sent me some photos including was an

1:26:32.120 --> 1:26:34.880
<v Speaker 2>old piano there and some mattresses and a whole lot

1:26:34.880 --> 1:26:36.920
<v Speaker 2>of building materials as well. James has just been in

1:26:37.000 --> 1:26:39.840
<v Speaker 2>contact with me again. I've just driven past that site,

1:26:39.960 --> 1:26:42.439
<v Speaker 2>Henry laws And Drive. None of the rubbish has been

1:26:42.479 --> 1:26:46.000
<v Speaker 2>picked up yet, so there's people there who are servicing

1:26:46.000 --> 1:26:48.040
<v Speaker 2>trucks there on the side of the road and nothing

1:26:48.120 --> 1:26:51.040
<v Speaker 2>is being done about the rubbish. Something needs to be

1:26:51.080 --> 1:27:08.040
<v Speaker 2>done about that. The wind is expected to calm down

1:27:08.080 --> 1:27:11.200
<v Speaker 2>this evening, it should ease, but boy, it's been a

1:27:11.240 --> 1:27:13.519
<v Speaker 2>windy day across Sydney. We're dealing with the problems in

1:27:13.560 --> 1:27:16.400
<v Speaker 2>Carlingford at the moment. A lot of trees have come

1:27:16.439 --> 1:27:18.680
<v Speaker 2>down across Sydney. Take care on the roads. There's some

1:27:18.720 --> 1:27:20.920
<v Speaker 2>debris about. If you see something in the roads and

1:27:21.120 --> 1:27:23.599
<v Speaker 2>a drama caused by the wind, let me know one

1:27:23.640 --> 1:27:27.800
<v Speaker 2>three one eight seven three Mark, you're still caught up

1:27:27.840 --> 1:27:32.320
<v Speaker 2>in the drama because of the crane at Carlingford. Good

1:27:32.320 --> 1:27:33.599
<v Speaker 2>a Mark, Oh.

1:27:34.680 --> 1:27:38.479
<v Speaker 18>Yeah, I've just come off them. Four like them for

1:27:38.720 --> 1:27:42.800
<v Speaker 18>is like a stand still and now on James Bruce

1:27:42.880 --> 1:27:46.559
<v Speaker 18>Dry which leads up Penhill's ride and it's just a

1:27:46.640 --> 1:27:53.080
<v Speaker 18>par part so everything leading up fore.

1:27:53.160 --> 1:27:55.559
<v Speaker 2>It's just a mess right throughout the carling For district

1:27:55.600 --> 1:27:57.360
<v Speaker 2>because of the crane. Thanks for letting us know about

1:27:57.360 --> 1:28:00.519
<v Speaker 2>that market. It doesn't matter really where you are around

1:28:00.560 --> 1:28:03.080
<v Speaker 2>Pennet Hills Road and all the roads that connect into

1:28:03.080 --> 1:28:05.800
<v Speaker 2>Penning Hills Road at Carlingford because we've had part of

1:28:05.800 --> 1:28:07.040
<v Speaker 2>it closed and it's going to be closed now for

1:28:07.080 --> 1:28:09.080
<v Speaker 2>a couple more hours because we've got the Merriton crews

1:28:09.120 --> 1:28:11.640
<v Speaker 2>on the scene trying to secure this crane. There's going

1:28:11.680 --> 1:28:14.639
<v Speaker 2>to be traffic dramas there for dramas. Rita is also

1:28:14.680 --> 1:28:17.920
<v Speaker 2>in Carlingford. Hello, Rita, Hi Clinton.

1:28:18.400 --> 1:28:19.880
<v Speaker 29>Yes, mag I just had to go and get my

1:28:20.000 --> 1:28:22.559
<v Speaker 29>daughter from work that she never actually got to start

1:28:22.640 --> 1:28:26.640
<v Speaker 29>at Carlington Court because they've actually closed and evacuated the

1:28:26.680 --> 1:28:31.400
<v Speaker 29>shopping center. So not only is Pennant Hills Road a bottleneck,

1:28:31.479 --> 1:28:35.599
<v Speaker 29>but all the roads around carling for Court Marsden Road

1:28:36.520 --> 1:28:39.160
<v Speaker 29>it's a shocker and down at North Rox Road so

1:28:39.280 --> 1:28:43.040
<v Speaker 29>it's extended towards the end two as well. So if

1:28:43.040 --> 1:28:45.120
<v Speaker 29>you can avoid the area, just avoid it.

1:28:45.200 --> 1:28:47.680
<v Speaker 2>So have you been given any explanation about why Carlingford

1:28:47.680 --> 1:28:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Court shopping center itself has been evacuated?

1:28:50.000 --> 1:28:53.200
<v Speaker 29>Well, I think they were very manic when we got there,

1:28:53.360 --> 1:28:55.960
<v Speaker 29>and one of the ladies new works in the center

1:28:56.040 --> 1:28:59.519
<v Speaker 29>said that they're worried about a gas explosion and I

1:28:59.560 --> 1:29:02.639
<v Speaker 29>have no how that would work with the crane being

1:29:02.680 --> 1:29:07.040
<v Speaker 29>about five hundred meters away. But yes, so they've just

1:29:07.200 --> 1:29:10.840
<v Speaker 29>closed the shopping center. But my sword got sent home.

1:29:11.120 --> 1:29:11.280
<v Speaker 11>OK.

1:29:11.520 --> 1:29:13.360
<v Speaker 2>Getting there, we'll try and find out what's going on

1:29:13.400 --> 1:29:15.840
<v Speaker 2>with Carlingford Court shopping center at the moment. So it is,

1:29:16.000 --> 1:29:18.240
<v Speaker 2>as you mentioned, about five hundred meters or so away

1:29:18.240 --> 1:29:20.640
<v Speaker 2>from this construction site. So if you don't know the

1:29:20.680 --> 1:29:23.600
<v Speaker 2>Carlingford area, well, this is a massive mirrit in development

1:29:23.600 --> 1:29:25.559
<v Speaker 2>that runs. It looks like it's effectively a couple of

1:29:25.560 --> 1:29:29.280
<v Speaker 2>blocks and it's going to be some unit towers and

1:29:29.320 --> 1:29:31.519
<v Speaker 2>the stage of development. At the moment of construction, they're

1:29:31.560 --> 1:29:34.840
<v Speaker 2>just doing effectively the foundations and all the underground work

1:29:34.840 --> 1:29:37.000
<v Speaker 2>what will be the underground car parks. So it's still

1:29:37.200 --> 1:29:40.640
<v Speaker 2>in that early stage. Now. The theory is that the

1:29:40.640 --> 1:29:44.640
<v Speaker 2>crane could topple, but since we've started reporting on this

1:29:44.640 --> 1:29:46.400
<v Speaker 2>over the past or two and a half hours or so,

1:29:46.479 --> 1:29:49.120
<v Speaker 2>the crane hasn't moved. So the authorities on the scene

1:29:49.120 --> 1:29:51.679
<v Speaker 2>are fairly confident they've got it secured. But they actually

1:29:51.680 --> 1:29:54.320
<v Speaker 2>need to rectify the situation. So the anchor bolts at

1:29:54.360 --> 1:29:57.680
<v Speaker 2>the bottom of the crane have loosened up, so they

1:29:57.720 --> 1:29:59.639
<v Speaker 2>need to work on that. But I find it curious

1:29:59.640 --> 1:30:01.759
<v Speaker 2>that the fact we had to, based on what Rita's

1:30:01.760 --> 1:30:04.599
<v Speaker 2>told us, evacuate part of Carlingford Court. I will try

1:30:04.640 --> 1:30:06.640
<v Speaker 2>to find out exactly what's going on. It's twenty six

1:30:06.720 --> 1:30:10.679
<v Speaker 2>past five. An update on the crane that's threatening to topple,

1:30:10.920 --> 1:30:14.160
<v Speaker 2>which it's on Pennant Hills Road. Carling for Justney Shirley Street,

1:30:14.200 --> 1:30:16.439
<v Speaker 2>Merriton has just provided us with some more information. They

1:30:16.479 --> 1:30:19.719
<v Speaker 2>say our engineers and experts are currently on site. They've

1:30:19.760 --> 1:30:23.280
<v Speaker 2>assured us now the risk is low to moderate. We're

1:30:23.320 --> 1:30:26.240
<v Speaker 2>working with the experts around the clock to stabilize the crane.

1:30:26.280 --> 1:30:29.679
<v Speaker 2>So Pennant Hills Road itself will not reopen just yet,

1:30:30.000 --> 1:30:32.200
<v Speaker 2>but that's good news from what Mereton's telling us. The

1:30:32.280 --> 1:30:34.960
<v Speaker 2>risk of it actually falling down, it would potentially fall

1:30:35.000 --> 1:30:38.200
<v Speaker 2>down onto the road is low to moderate, so they're

1:30:38.200 --> 1:30:40.519
<v Speaker 2>on the site right now. Just for our news headlines,

1:30:40.520 --> 1:30:43.200
<v Speaker 2>we were talking about drive fatigue with those who are

1:30:43.240 --> 1:30:46.720
<v Speaker 2>driving trucks and heavy vehicles. Charlotte, you've got experience as

1:30:46.720 --> 1:30:47.320
<v Speaker 2>a bus driver.

1:30:48.560 --> 1:30:51.120
<v Speaker 15>Yeah, Look, I don't know how serious they really are

1:30:51.160 --> 1:30:55.120
<v Speaker 15>about this fatigue management isness. There are drivers in Sydney

1:30:55.120 --> 1:30:59.439
<v Speaker 15>bus drivers that drive the equivalent ours Sydney to Brisbane

1:30:59.560 --> 1:31:03.160
<v Speaker 15>every day and some days they are lucky if they

1:31:03.160 --> 1:31:06.559
<v Speaker 15>get a thirty minute meal break, so you.

1:31:06.520 --> 1:31:09.960
<v Speaker 2>Know they're not enforcing it very well. Then those drive

1:31:10.040 --> 1:31:11.520
<v Speaker 2>fatigue management rules.

1:31:11.640 --> 1:31:15.320
<v Speaker 15>Well, you know they're doing this day after day and

1:31:16.120 --> 1:31:17.760
<v Speaker 15>they get fatigued and they get the press.

1:31:17.880 --> 1:31:20.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well they wouldn't just get depressed though, it's potentially

1:31:20.160 --> 1:31:22.679
<v Speaker 2>putting their life in danger, the life of passengers in danger,

1:31:22.800 --> 1:31:25.080
<v Speaker 2>and those the other drivers. We might have a closer

1:31:25.160 --> 1:31:27.320
<v Speaker 2>look at that. Thank you for letting us know about that, Charlotte.

1:31:27.360 --> 1:31:33.600
<v Speaker 2>That's not good enough. Let's check our news headlines and

1:31:33.680 --> 1:31:34.920
<v Speaker 2>we've got the latest. Katie Foller.

1:31:35.080 --> 1:31:38.960
<v Speaker 9>Good afternoon, Clinton. Strong winds are starting to ease across Sydney,

1:31:39.000 --> 1:31:42.080
<v Speaker 9>but a crane is still close to toppling over at Carlingford.

1:31:42.600 --> 1:31:46.040
<v Speaker 9>Traffic is heavy on the stretch of Pannet Hills Road,

1:31:46.080 --> 1:31:49.840
<v Speaker 9>which has been closed. The local shopping center has been evacuated.

1:31:50.320 --> 1:31:53.320

1:31:53.439 --> 1:31:55.840
<v Speaker 9>taken hold of the top floor of a Mission Australia

<v Speaker 9>building in Surrey Hills. Nearby complexes were evacuated. A teenager

1:32:00.840 --> 1:32:03.960
<v Speaker 9>has been arrested over a stabbing at Mount Dru at Westfield.

1:32:04.240 --> 1:32:07.679

1:32:40.479 --> 1:32:42.880
<v Speaker 2>particularly in the southern parts of the Sydney. It should

1:32:42.880 --> 1:32:46.200
<v Speaker 2>ease this evening. We're going to spin the winter wheel shortly.

1:32:46.400 --> 1:32:48.920
<v Speaker 2>Listen for your Quter call. Don't call yet. I just

1:32:48.960 --> 1:32:51.480
<v Speaker 2>want to cross to Graham now. Graham is in Carlingford

1:32:51.800 --> 1:32:53.840
<v Speaker 2>and has had to be evacuated because of the crane

1:32:53.840 --> 1:32:56.280
<v Speaker 2>that's threatening to topple. Whereabouts are you, Graham?

1:32:57.040 --> 1:32:57.240
<v Speaker 8>Oh?

1:32:57.280 --> 1:33:00.400
<v Speaker 30>Well, I'm driving at the moment. I'm just going driving

1:33:00.960 --> 1:33:04.000
<v Speaker 30>to my daughter's place. So I didn't you know, I

1:33:04.040 --> 1:33:05.559
<v Speaker 30>didn't need to go to Carlingford Court.

1:33:05.680 --> 1:33:06.320
<v Speaker 8>So suggested.

1:33:06.680 --> 1:33:09.080
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so you are in part of where you live

1:33:09.200 --> 1:33:11.400
<v Speaker 2>is where the evacuation zone is.

1:33:12.040 --> 1:33:14.800
<v Speaker 20>Yeah, right across and was evacuated.

1:33:15.040 --> 1:33:17.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay. And so Carlingford Court itself. Do you know why

1:33:17.760 --> 1:33:20.080
<v Speaker 2>they've told the shop is there they need to leave

1:33:20.080 --> 1:33:23.120
<v Speaker 2>because it's it's not quite underware that the crane would fall.

1:33:23.479 --> 1:33:23.679
<v Speaker 13>Yeah.

1:33:23.800 --> 1:33:25.880
<v Speaker 30>No, it's nowhere near it. And I don't know why

1:33:25.920 --> 1:33:28.800
<v Speaker 30>that would have been evacuated very early in the place,

1:33:29.120 --> 1:33:32.120
<v Speaker 30>So I can't help you there. In fact that when

1:33:32.479 --> 1:33:34.400
<v Speaker 30>I was evacuated from the unit, the police said, oh,

1:33:34.400 --> 1:33:35.679
<v Speaker 30>you can go up for Carlingford Court.

1:33:35.760 --> 1:33:36.759
<v Speaker 11>They'll sort of look after.

1:33:37.920 --> 1:33:39.000
<v Speaker 30>They'll look after you up there.

1:33:39.680 --> 1:33:42.520
<v Speaker 25>I didn't need to because I'm headed in the other direction.

1:33:42.280 --> 1:33:44.519
<v Speaker 2>To now, Graham, have they given you any indication when

1:33:44.560 --> 1:33:45.360
<v Speaker 2>you can go back home?

1:33:45.840 --> 1:33:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

1:33:46.120 --> 1:33:48.519
<v Speaker 30>No, no, no, it was too early to t all.

1:33:48.720 --> 1:33:51.400
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Graham, hopefully it's not too long. Thanks for letting

1:33:51.479 --> 1:33:54.080
<v Speaker 2>us know. So there have been some evacuations around Pennin Hills,

1:33:54.160 --> 1:33:57.920
<v Speaker 2>right around Carlingford. Carlingford Court itself, we have been told

1:33:58.000 --> 1:34:00.920
<v Speaker 2>it was evacuated as well because the fears of problem

1:34:00.920 --> 1:34:03.320
<v Speaker 2>with the gas that could be triggered by the crane

1:34:03.479 --> 1:34:06.639
<v Speaker 2>it's about five hundred meters away from the construction zone.

1:34:06.680 --> 1:34:08.559
<v Speaker 2>I've had a few people ask me questions on the

1:34:08.560 --> 1:34:11.200
<v Speaker 2>text line. Is this the same merit and construction site

1:34:11.200 --> 1:34:13.040
<v Speaker 2>where there was the brawl earlier in the week. No,

1:34:13.080 --> 1:34:14.960
<v Speaker 2>it's not so the brawl that occurred between all the

1:34:15.000 --> 1:34:18.360
<v Speaker 2>trades in the high Viz that actually occurred in Castle Hill.

1:34:18.479 --> 1:34:21.280
<v Speaker 2>So it's not the same site. But two men have

1:34:21.320 --> 1:34:26.639
<v Speaker 2>now I've been arrested over that. One Finance update, Scott

1:34:26.640 --> 1:34:29.200
<v Speaker 2>Hayward is presenting Money News from seven o'clock tonight. Hello

1:34:29.240 --> 1:34:30.639
<v Speaker 2>Scott Clinton, how are you going?

1:34:31.200 --> 1:34:33.280
<v Speaker 31>Whilst the wind may be swinging in the cranes looking

1:34:33.560 --> 1:34:35.720
<v Speaker 31>being a bit more dangerous, I can tell you what's

1:34:35.760 --> 1:34:39.400
<v Speaker 31>not dangerous tonight, and that is inflation numbers. The headline

1:34:39.400 --> 1:34:42.080
<v Speaker 31>inflation number dropped for the twelve months to May to

1:34:42.160 --> 1:34:44.920
<v Speaker 31>just two point one percent, down from the headline two

1:34:45.000 --> 1:34:48.200
<v Speaker 31>point four percent the month before. And that's in the

1:34:48.240 --> 1:34:51.240
<v Speaker 31>preferred space that the RBA wants. With the April number,

1:34:51.240 --> 1:34:53.000
<v Speaker 31>as I said, dropping from two point eight to two

1:34:53.040 --> 1:34:55.720
<v Speaker 31>point four, the price of fruit and vegeted rise two

1:34:55.720 --> 1:34:58.000
<v Speaker 31>point eight percent, but here you go, it was six

1:34:58.040 --> 1:35:01.760
<v Speaker 31>point one percent. So this may that Jim Chalmers could

1:35:01.800 --> 1:35:05.160
<v Speaker 31>press the button and be very pleased with himself. Is

1:35:05.240 --> 1:35:08.000
<v Speaker 31>if Michelle Buller does cut rates on the eighth of July,

1:35:08.120 --> 1:35:10.000
<v Speaker 31>which I think will be almost a certainty.

1:35:10.000 --> 1:35:11.880
<v Speaker 2>Now we heard from Jim Chalmers a little earlier. He's

1:35:11.880 --> 1:35:13.800
<v Speaker 2>already very pleased. He had a big smile on his

1:35:13.800 --> 1:35:14.400
<v Speaker 2>face today.

1:35:15.040 --> 1:35:18.160
<v Speaker 31>Well, look, I don't think it fundamentally has anything to

1:35:18.160 --> 1:35:18.639
<v Speaker 31>do with him.

1:35:18.880 --> 1:35:21.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't think he believes that he believes it's him.

1:35:21.800 --> 1:35:25.640
<v Speaker 31>The amount of people under financial pressure is still very significant,

1:35:25.640 --> 1:35:27.719
<v Speaker 31>and we're going to talk as well about the cost

1:35:27.760 --> 1:35:30.679
<v Speaker 31>of living benefit that may mean with a potential rate cut,

1:35:30.800 --> 1:35:32.640
<v Speaker 31>and what it might also mean for people who are

1:35:32.680 --> 1:35:36.280
<v Speaker 31>retired renters or homeowners with the mortgage, about what the

1:35:36.320 --> 1:35:38.439
<v Speaker 31>next six to twelve months may look like. That's all

1:35:38.439 --> 1:35:41.360
<v Speaker 31>going to be with amp's deputy chief economist, Yana Messina.

1:35:41.560 --> 1:35:43.639
<v Speaker 2>We spoke with Choice Little in the program about their

1:35:43.640 --> 1:35:46.240
<v Speaker 2>supermarket analysis for the past three months. They have found

1:35:46.240 --> 1:35:49.080
<v Speaker 2>that the price gap between Aldi Allies and Colts is

1:35:49.080 --> 1:35:52.000
<v Speaker 2>actually narrowing a little. From your experience as a shopper, Scott,

1:35:52.040 --> 1:35:53.320
<v Speaker 2>as well as what you do as an analyst, have

1:35:53.600 --> 1:35:55.680
<v Speaker 2>you found that the prices have been going down in

1:35:55.720 --> 1:35:56.639
<v Speaker 2>willars and cups.

1:35:56.920 --> 1:35:59.000
<v Speaker 31>Well, I think Audi when they came to Australia and

1:35:59.000 --> 1:36:00.880
<v Speaker 31>I haven't got the date, but it was about fifteen

1:36:00.960 --> 1:36:04.639
<v Speaker 31>twenty years ago. They basically came with the home brand product.

1:36:04.720 --> 1:36:08.479
<v Speaker 31>It was no frills, no branding, you know, no Campbell soups.

1:36:08.479 --> 1:36:11.400
<v Speaker 31>It was their own soup, you know, their own peanut butter,

1:36:11.479 --> 1:36:13.720
<v Speaker 31>no vegemite. They basically just had their own brands, which

1:36:13.760 --> 1:36:15.760
<v Speaker 31>means they saved a lot on cost. And of course

1:36:15.760 --> 1:36:17.360
<v Speaker 31>they also meant that they can just put whatever they

1:36:17.360 --> 1:36:20.920
<v Speaker 31>want in the shells rather than maybe paying for shelf space,

1:36:20.960 --> 1:36:24.120
<v Speaker 31>which I knew, do know has occurred in certain supermarkets.

1:36:24.160 --> 1:36:27.479
<v Speaker 31>But the agbill see report this year denied misconduct of

1:36:27.560 --> 1:36:29.800
<v Speaker 31>price gouging. Well, I did admit the grocery chains are

1:36:29.800 --> 1:36:32.000
<v Speaker 31>the most profitable in the world. But yeah, look, if

1:36:32.000 --> 1:36:33.880
<v Speaker 31>you find an Aldi and you want to just have

1:36:33.960 --> 1:36:37.000
<v Speaker 31>that limited amount of supply, which again that the survey

1:36:37.439 --> 1:36:40.519
<v Speaker 31>was done from choice on milk, carrot, chicken, breast, strawberries,

1:36:40.600 --> 1:36:42.680
<v Speaker 31>drinking chocolate, brown onions and garlic, don't have them all

1:36:42.600 --> 1:36:48.479
<v Speaker 31>at once. It was cheaper than woolies and cheaper than goals.

1:36:48.880 --> 1:36:51.439
<v Speaker 31>So yes, you're right. Choice it did report that.

1:36:51.600 --> 1:36:54.439
<v Speaker 2>I don't know many people who drink their chocolate milk

1:36:55.160 --> 1:36:57.920
<v Speaker 2>while onion taking it a garlic at the same top

1:36:57.960 --> 1:36:59.320
<v Speaker 2>that each of.

1:36:59.280 --> 1:36:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Their own Clinton.

1:37:00.080 --> 1:37:02.320
<v Speaker 31>But yeah, that was the other news today. And of

1:37:02.320 --> 1:37:06.360
<v Speaker 31>course it is now only three business days before June thirty,

1:37:06.360 --> 1:37:08.559
<v Speaker 31>and that's important because there's things you can and can't do,

1:37:09.000 --> 1:37:11.160
<v Speaker 31>So you don't want to miss our special segment tonight

1:37:11.200 --> 1:37:13.880
<v Speaker 31>on what to do before June thirty. Do not wait

1:37:13.960 --> 1:37:16.439
<v Speaker 31>until Monday. There's only three trading days left and that

1:37:16.439 --> 1:37:18.200
<v Speaker 31>has an implication on you. And that's right off the

1:37:18.200 --> 1:37:19.840
<v Speaker 31>top of the show. At seven o'clock tonight, we'll.

1:37:19.720 --> 1:37:21.800

<v Speaker 2>John Stanley's wearing his dragon's cap received he is right,

1:40:37.680 --> 1:40:40.000
<v Speaker 2>and I think he's concerned about now in Exodus of

1:40:40.120 --> 1:40:43.520
<v Speaker 2>Dragons to the Yeels because Zach Lomax and Zach Claimax.

1:40:43.920 --> 1:40:47.720
<v Speaker 2>Now we've got Jack de Bellen. My understanding is one

1:40:47.760 --> 1:40:50.960
<v Speaker 2>of his favorite players is King Tongya yep. I f

1:40:50.960 --> 1:40:53.880
<v Speaker 2>I understanding there has been initial talks that's true, just

1:40:53.920 --> 1:40:55.840
<v Speaker 2>initial talk that's true because he's been dropped from this

1:40:55.840 --> 1:40:59.040
<v Speaker 2>week's side, yep. And the talk is maybe he's on

1:40:59.040 --> 1:41:01.479
<v Speaker 2>his way to Paramatta. I think you'll find that Clint

1:41:01.520 --> 1:41:03.439
<v Speaker 2>Guthuson might go back to play off the bench, kap

1:41:03.520 --> 1:41:05.320
<v Speaker 2>Flandagan will pro y in that they might take Shane

1:41:05.360 --> 1:41:11.320
<v Speaker 2>as well, just anyone with the Dragons Jersey.

1:41:09.240 --> 1:41:11.760
<v Speaker 12>And Shane Flaining might go back and last couple something

1:41:11.800 --> 1:41:12.480
<v Speaker 12>who knows.

1:41:13.280 --> 1:41:16.439
<v Speaker 2>Now there's been calls today Daly m the call the

1:41:16.520 --> 1:41:18.519
<v Speaker 2>Daly Yem Awards off because it's already won.

1:41:18.680 --> 1:41:22.240
<v Speaker 12>Yep. Well. Voting went behind closed doors after round twelve

1:41:22.240 --> 1:41:25.840
<v Speaker 12>with Warriors playmaker Luke Metcalf. He was leading on thirty

1:41:25.840 --> 1:41:29.120
<v Speaker 12>one points, next with Sharks Will Kennedy on twenty nine,

1:41:29.200 --> 1:41:32.000
<v Speaker 12>and then James Tedesco was on twenty eight. But I

1:41:32.040 --> 1:41:35.240
<v Speaker 12>think what Nichol, which is Nichol loose overs writing.

1:41:35.280 --> 1:41:36.600
<v Speaker 2>He's saying, Chris Nicholas.

1:41:36.360 --> 1:41:39.320
<v Speaker 12>Christian is a good writer. I kind of agree with

1:41:39.360 --> 1:41:42.080
<v Speaker 12>him because I think that I think it's his to lose.

1:41:42.400 --> 1:41:45.120
<v Speaker 12>I think he's probably got twelve points out of the

1:41:45.160 --> 1:41:47.800
<v Speaker 12>last two weeks because you get three. I'm a Dalim judge,

1:41:47.800 --> 1:41:50.400
<v Speaker 12>and I give three to two one. In another game

1:41:50.479 --> 1:41:52.320
<v Speaker 12>someone else will give three to one.

1:41:52.240 --> 1:41:55.280
<v Speaker 2>As well, and you can't give anything away because it's

1:41:55.280 --> 1:41:56.599
<v Speaker 2>gone behind closed doors now, so.

1:41:56.640 --> 1:41:59.000
<v Speaker 12>I would know. Yeah, no, round twelve I went behind

1:41:59.040 --> 1:41:59.799
<v Speaker 12>close yeah.

1:41:59.680 --> 1:42:02.040
<v Speaker 2>Now Will Kennedy was leading it at one point our

1:42:02.120 --> 1:42:04.280
<v Speaker 2>player the Sharks four. Yes, but look the Sharks are

1:42:04.320 --> 1:42:05.960
<v Speaker 2>in terrible form, so he wouldn't have picked up many

1:42:06.000 --> 1:42:09.280
<v Speaker 2>points of late. Metcalf has played a little injured, Yeah,

1:42:09.360 --> 1:42:10.880
<v Speaker 2>of late, that might affect him well.

1:42:10.960 --> 1:42:14.080
<v Speaker 12>Round fifteen the Knights. Sorry, the Roosters beat the Knights

1:42:14.080 --> 1:42:17.040
<v Speaker 12>twelve eight, and then they won against the Cowboys last

1:42:17.080 --> 1:42:20.639
<v Speaker 12>week where he did get the CCT Continuous Call Team's

1:42:20.680 --> 1:42:23.280
<v Speaker 12>Man of the match. So yeah, look he's in the

1:42:23.280 --> 1:42:26.759
<v Speaker 12>fine form. And look I was bumninger. I'll be knocking

1:42:26.800 --> 1:42:28.920
<v Speaker 12>on his door and saying, hey, come.

1:42:28.760 --> 1:42:32.000

<v Speaker 2>Pat Cummins has put Cameron Green number three.

<v Speaker 12>Yeah, he had first first time in ten years. Australia

1:49:55.120 --> 1:49:58.120
<v Speaker 2>Pennett Hills Road remains closed. It is closed in both

1:49:58.240 --> 1:50:01.160
<v Speaker 2>directions right at the moment near Shirley Street, but it

1:50:01.240 --> 1:50:03.559
<v Speaker 2>also affects the Cumberland Highway and as we've been hearing

1:50:03.640 --> 1:50:06.799
<v Speaker 2>from you throughout the afternoon, this is affecting roads including

1:50:06.840 --> 1:50:10.479
<v Speaker 2>the M four. Effectively, everything in the region is impacted

1:50:10.520 --> 1:50:13.960
<v Speaker 2>by what's happening with the crane. The crane is secure

1:50:14.080 --> 1:50:16.479
<v Speaker 2>at the moment, but there are engineers from Merton who

1:50:16.520 --> 1:50:18.320
<v Speaker 2>are on site. They say the risk of it actually

1:50:18.360 --> 1:50:20.880
<v Speaker 2>toppling is low to moderate. We've been in contact with

1:50:20.920 --> 1:50:23.559
<v Speaker 2>the police back Carlingford Court. It's been set up as

1:50:23.600 --> 1:50:25.920
<v Speaker 2>an evacuation center, so it may well be the management

1:50:25.960 --> 1:50:29.320
<v Speaker 2>has told Carlingford Court management to tell the shoppers to

1:50:29.400 --> 1:50:31.640
<v Speaker 2>leave so they can create space for the evacuees from

1:50:31.680 --> 1:50:32.439
