It is great to 0:00:03.760 --> 0:00:08.600 have your company today. Jason Featherby will be here after 0:00:08.720 --> 0:00:11.799 one thirty, the director of lew And Wealth. So if 0:00:11.800 --> 0:00:13.760 you'd like to have a chat to our money man, 0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:17.480 give him a call just after one thirty today. Jason 0:00:17.520 --> 0:00:21.760 Featherbee joining us in the six PR studios, Yuko Ostowich. 0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:24.240 He'll be motoring on by the studios after two thirty 0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:28.600 this afternoon to answer any and all of the questions 0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:33.200 you have about Perth's road network. One double, three eighth 0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:35.200 eighty two. If you'd like to join the conversation, let's 0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:38.920 get the phones ringing this Wednesday. Brad Pettitt, the Greens leader, 0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:43.520 he had a chat today Property Council breakfast this morning 0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:46.840 and he's calling on the state government to build apartments 0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:52.680 around every train station on the Fremantle line. Should there 0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:56.400 be apartments built around every train station on the Fremantle 0:00:57.120 --> 0:01:02.600 Railway line. We had the approved of the Station Streets 0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:07.600 two story complex last week in Cotterslow, which maybe too 0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:12.080 high some locals and the council believe will this lead 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:18.120 towards the sinking of the Fremantle Railway line from Subiaco 0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:22.119 to Port Beach because that land is very, very valuable. 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:24.480 It'll probably be cost neutral in the end by the 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:28.120 time you go underground, sink the railway line and build 0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:31.480 above its. We'll have a chat to Brad Pettit about that. 0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:36.000 But what do you think should the state government build 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:39.800 departments around every train station on the Fremantle train line. 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:43.440 One double three eight eighty two And I don't like 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:47.319 this one. A warning from Consumer Protection today. You've got 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:51.760 dodgy doorknockers back and they're targeting homes, including an elderly 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:55.440 Hillman couple who paid more than eighteen thousand dollars for 0:01:55.520 --> 0:02:00.440 some unfinished minor roof restoration work. A warning heading away 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:04.280 from the Commissioner of Consumer Protection at Trish Blake. And 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:06.200 we're going to meet bell from Beauty and the Beast 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:10.160 the musical. It is coming to Crown Theater in about 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:15.360 a month's time, playing for about three months, and Belle 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:17.440 will be dropping on by the studios a little bit 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:20.679 later today. One double three eight eighty two is the 0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:23.040 talkback number. Pick up the phone and have you say 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:24.480 because I'd love to hear your voice. 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:29.800 You're listening to Birthlive with Oliver Peterson call now and 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:33.280 have yours say on one double three eighty two. 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:36.160 A couple of things already coming through. Brad wants to 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:39.400 just point out that it's hilarious with the Polly's coming 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:42.079 out saying they didn't want the pay rise, that they 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:45.080 could do without it, Well maybe they should donate it 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:47.679 to charity. As if they would, they will just tell 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:51.799 poorkeypyes all the time. Thank you. Brad and I own 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:55.799 a high volume collision repair business and Oliver like you 0:02:55.880 --> 0:03:01.080 to discuss the potential i AG takeover of ra AC 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:04.720 and the concerns of similar businesses as mine how the 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:10.960 consumer will be affected. It's timely because it's currently under 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:19.160 consideration the takeover of Insurance Australia Group Limited's ability to 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:23.720 acquire hundred percent of the shares in RAC Insurance from 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:26.080 the r AC. It wants to enter it into a 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:30.480 twenty year agreement for RAC to exclusively distribute insurance products 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:35.520 underwritten by IOG and the r A C brands. Now, 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:39.600 submissions are currently invited from interested parties to the A 0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:42.160 Triple C. So the Consumer Watchdog is looking at this 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:44.720 as we speak, and you've got en till the second 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:53.040 of July to make a submission now IAG. It obviously 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:58.160 provides a number of personal and commercial insurance products under 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:05.720 the brands like nrm A, Sworn Insurance, Rolling Lumly Special Vehicles, 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:08.839 so it's already in the market. It's got a big 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:13.000 share of the market. But the informal reviews started back 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:15.240 on the eighteenth of June. The closing date of submissions 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:18.000 is July two, and we should hear from the A 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:25.640 Triple C an announcement of its findings by September. Are 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:31.960 you concerned about the RAC insurance being swallowed up by 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:39.559 IAG And look, maybe you have recently had another motor 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:45.120 vehicle renewal slip pop into your inbox or you collected 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:49.440 it from your letterbox. Still getting stung, still getting a 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:53.599 big whack from your insurer. I know when we talk 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:56.520 about this from time to time, people indicate twenty percent hikes, 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:59.800 even up to fifty percent hikes, and that old saying 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:03.039 is shop around, look to see if there's another insurance 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:06.640 agency that's going to offer you a better deal a 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:08.320 one double three audity too. Have you got a bit 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:12.000 of bill shocked recently from the motor vehicle insurers and 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:17.680 or are you as concerns that IAG Limited wants to 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:31.680 completely take over r ac insurance thirteen after one. The 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:37.800 Save Burswood Park Alliance has revealed today that eighty five 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:42.760 percent of people oppose the burz Would racetrack. They continue 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:46.400 to argue that this development is in the wrong location 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:49.919 for what the area is, saying that the community wants 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:54.039 more green spaces and less noise. According to the Save 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:59.159 Burswould Park Alliance, recent feedback on the government's proposal of 0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:03.320 the burz Would via Supercars racetrack shows that eighty five 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:06.960 percent of respondents are strongly opposed to the projects. The 0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:09.799 co chair of the Save Burswood Park Alliance, Sue Quinn, 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:14.000 said that negative comments vastly outnumbered those in favor, both 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:17.919 at the government drop in sessions and on its consultation platform. 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:23.320 She said, quote when a community instinctively and immediately opposes developments, 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:26.800 it usually means the development is wrong for the area. 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:30.400 In view of this, it's hard to understand why the 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:34.159 government is so set on proceeding with it, she said. 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:37.880 It's unclear if the motorsport industry would make any financial 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:41.000 contribution to the racetrack, So if the industry which has 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:44.280 made up of very rich people won't support it. Why 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:47.600 should taxpayers who oppose it have to do so. 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:49.400 Now? 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:53.240 Many people, including motorsports enthusiasts, commented that they were concerned 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:56.760 about the Burswould location and suggested the fund should be 0:06:56.800 --> 0:07:00.200 instead be spent on upgrading Wanneroo Raceway and other regional venues. 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:05.200 Other ideas were to plant more native trees and plants 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:09.000 to protect wildlife and water birds, and establishing a botanic 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:12.800 garden of diverse and endemic plants to connect existing wetlands. 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:17.800 A popular comment, according to the Save burrs Would Park Alliance, 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:21.160 was to implement the burrs Would Park twenty year Master 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:25.920 Precinct Plan instead, a project that had previously involved extensive 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:31.280 consultation which had wide community supports. Future planning should also 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:35.760 honor and protect Mungar cultural connections. She said. We need 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:39.360 more green spaces and less noise, and many people believe 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:41.920 that motorsports are outdated when the world is focused on 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:44.960 reducing carbon emissions and are not aligned with the WA 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:50.000 government's electric vehicle strategy. Some also warned that pass venues 0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:53.520 for supercars, including Newcastle, canber and Hamilton and New Zealand, 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:56.800 offered cautionary tales of the negative impact the social, the 0:07:56.840 --> 0:08:02.440 economic declining popularity of V eight super cars events. Now, 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:03.920 if it is to move, do you think there might 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:07.200 be a renaissance for supercars if you left the Wanneroo 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:10.000 Raceway and brought it into Burrswood. Might you go and 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:12.760 take a look? Might you have a peak? Might it encourage, 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:17.920 say the very large motorsports population of Singapore to jump 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.680 on a plane and head down to Perth and provide 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:23.520 a little bit of a tourism boom one double three 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:27.040 eight eighty two. Do you think that might be over egged? 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:30.400 Eighty five percent of people oppose the burs would racetrack. 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:33.080 I don't know if it's going to be that high 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:37.840 one double three eight eighty two. Courtney reckons we don't 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:40.040 need any more apartments on the Frio line. There are 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:42.800 plenty of the molly. You can see them on the line. 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:45.680 I live in one close to the Freemantle line in 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:49.079 West Leadable. I have seen apartments in other areas of 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:53.240 the Frio line at City West, West Leadiville, Claermont, victoriaus 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:56.760 Treated Mosman Park and you can also find them in 0:08:56.880 --> 0:09:00.959 North Frio and Eileen says, I think building around railway 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:05.160 stations is basically a good idea. Claimont's been pretty successful, 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:07.800 but I think thinking the railway is a far better idea. 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:10.800 And yes it would free up more land. Wouldn't happen overnight, 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:14.760 but then neither did metro nets. We need visionary, forward 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:20.400 looking plans, not just catch up projects. One double three 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:23.280 eighth two. If you'd like to join Perth Live this afternoon, 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:26.080 you agree with the BURS would Park Alliance that eighty 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:28.920 five percent of people opposed the BURS would race track. 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:32.640 Should that go back to the drawing board from the 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:37.600 state governments? What about Brad Pettit's suggestion that we should 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:41.239 be building even more apartments around Western Suburbs train stations. 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:44.320 He wants to stay governor to build them around every 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:51.479 train station on the Fremantle train line. And the IAG 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:58.920 limited takeover of RC insurance currently open to submissions by 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:02.240 the A Triple C should it go ahead. You had 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:04.600 a bit of bill shocked recently from your motor vehicle 0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:11.079 insurer one double three eight eighty two the talk back 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:14.920 number Andrew Reckins Nowayali, there would be nobody coming from 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:19.400 Singapore to watch the vight supercars. That there's lots of 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:21.640 Singaporeans who are very keen on the v eights. They 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:23.640 might make little trek down if it were to be 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:27.160 moved to Burswood. Maybe they wouldn't, but they're very keen 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:33.040 on the vights. Regarding the multiplex proposal, says Frank, what 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:35.400 racing for just one weekend. 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:35.480 Of the year. 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:39.000 Give me a break. It is the thin end of 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:42.040 the wedge. The precinct should be like South Bank in Brisbane, 0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:46.280 a very successful green belt walk along the river, high 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:50.000 density residential living around the area, with many more thousand 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:53.840 residents yet to come. We should be embracing our green 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:57.200 spaces and keeping them for future residents. It should be 0:10:57.240 --> 0:11:01.320 about proper town planning, planned by professionals. That's how the 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:04.400 Burrs Would Park twenty year Vision plan came about and 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:10.320 the government needs to grab a brain. We looked at it, though, Frank. 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:13.720 Would we have ever constructed the stadium where it is? 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:18.000 Would it have just been left there as well? Was 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:23.839 a great golf course, but as it revitalized, a bit 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:26.920 of burswould and into the inner east of our city. 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:30.440 One double three eight eighty two. Michael wants to know 0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:32.800 what's wrong with these people, the supercars will be just 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:35.880 a weekend of the year burning hell. Shut the hell up. 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:39.560 That's a bit strong, he says. If people didn't want this, 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:43.800 why did you vote for the current governments? And Tony 0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:46.839 says these apartments along the railway line should have been 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:48.960 done twenty years ago. Olie, we are still a white 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:53.439 pick at fence Society. It does not work anymore. Let's 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.040 face it. Anything past Thomas Road South and anything past 0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:59.880 Hodges Drive North is regions. It's no longer the metrop 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:04.640 an area. Our mind set needs to change one double 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:07.520 three eight eighty two if you'd like to have your say, 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:10.520 And Jim says. The first ever special General Meeting of 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:14.880 the RAC was held on Monday nights. At that meeting, 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:19.000 the fifteen members of the Management Council effectively voted themselves 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:21.880 out of a job. The vote, which was carried fifty 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:24.880 to twelve, is supposed to modernize the governance of one 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:28.160 hundred and twenty year old organization, and it remains to 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:30.240 be seen whether this move will result in a better 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:34.240 RAC or end up being a sh one t sandwich. 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:39.240 My question is will the replacement council of management look 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:41.920 after the interests of the members as well as they 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:45.520 have been for the last one hundred and twenty years. Now, 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:47.640 this speel sounds like a script from a bank that 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:52.360 closes branches in the pursuit of better customer outcomes. That's 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:55.280 from Jim, who sent me an email one double three 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:58.559 eight eighty two. If you'd like to have you say hi, Steve. 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:02.280 Get Aoli, Hey, haven't I listened to a great talkback? 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:07.000 The Birds would pre think to me, Yeah, it's beautiful, 0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:09.319 but we've got Kings Park and we've got a few 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:13.439 other places, so you know this, it's a fifty to fifty. 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:16.840 It'll do good for Perth and I'll also upset other 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:19.480 people in Perth. Well, they said. 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:21.719 They've overcooked this one a little bit, though, Steve, the 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:24.280 same Birds with Park Alliance reeconds eighty five percent of 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:26.959 people oppose the Burrs would raise strack it on. It 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:29.080 might be a little less than eighty five percent. 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:35.600 Yeah, I haven't seen the statistics, but looking at it, 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:37.760 it could work if it's every now and again, I 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:41.680 don't think we should have it as a modiplex we've 0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:46.880 got one of them. But for special events and fundraisers, yeah, 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:48.400 they can make money out of it, and they can 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:53.360 also give the whole of Perth, the Mexicolity area something 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:55.240 to go and see. Because I haven't been one of 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:57.920 real I've always wanted to go, but I'd be more 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:00.559 likely to go to the birds. Wouldn't watch it a 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:01.400 class event. 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:04.600 Yeah, and I think with that backdrop and being closer 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:07.320 to the city, you might get a few more people 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:10.400 taking a peek than would head up to want to 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:13.160 root of the raceway one, double, three, eighth E two 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:15.160 if you'd like to have your say. David thinks the 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:17.480 rac should allow vote by its members so that will 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:21.720 retain its insurance business. I anticipate the members would overwhelmingly 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:25.280 vote no. As for the Burrs with car racetrack, it 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:27.640 would be a good attraction being a central location with 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:31.120 accommodation nearby for tourists. It wouldn't just be for those 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:33.920 V eight supercars either. Plus it would help attract the 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:38.040 bids and nab the Moto GP from Phillip Islands and 0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:40.360 Kyler Frio says, all of your apartments are built on 0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:43.920 destroyed swampland you're trying to protect, so you're all being hypocritical. 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:47.280 If you ask Kyle one double three eight eighty two 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:58.280 if you'd like to have your say. Twenty four hours 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:01.440 ago now, Darren called through with this news tip in 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:03.160 Perth lives word on the streets. 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:06.560 Okay, I was just at sixteen Victoria AB in the 0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:09.680 city and all these cop cars raced in with their 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:14.120 lights on. Also people from the army jumped out of 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:18.200 their vehicles with carrying machine guns and battering rams to 0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:23.240 smash doors in and they've all raced into twelve Victoria AB. 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:27.200 So obviously something something's going on in one of the 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:28.400 apartments in that building. 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:32.200 So confirm police and the TG entered that apartment building 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:35.360 where Jake Patrick, our chief of news, found himself for 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:38.400 a good portion of yesterday afternoon as a man has 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:41.040 been charged. Jake, good afternoon, one of the details. 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:43.160 Yeah, good afternoon to you, Ollie. What a sight that 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:47.480 was yesterday the TRG officers walking out of all sweets 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:52.960 Perth on Victoria AB with their machine guns, battering rams 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:55.520 and all the kit they needed to get into an 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:59.800 apartment yesterday. It was quite the scene in Perth. As 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:03.520 years old of that a man in his twenties early 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:08.440 twenties has been charged. He's facing three charges hasn't faced 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:12.000 court yet. He's doing court this afternoon, so we'll bring 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:15.480 you those details when this individual face is caught. But 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:18.400 the three charges he's facing his possession of a prohibited 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:23.760 drug with intent to sell or supply mainly methamphetamine, possession 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:27.480 of a stolen or unlawfully obtained property, and carried or 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:31.120 possessed a prohibited weapon. And that was what sparked this 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:38.560 alleged incident yesterday. Was a firearm, was president or what 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:40.840 looked to be a firearm. It's now been revealed that 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:45.160 it was a fake gun allegedly that sparked this whole 0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:48.360 operation yesterday. So yeah, a lot of drama in the 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:51.720 city yesterday. And we'll wait until this man, who we 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:54.760 can't name yet, he hasn't faced court yet, faces caught 0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:59.120 this afternoon on those three charges. One alleged drug offence, 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:05.360 one alleged stolen or obtain property offense, and a possessing 0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:07.320 prohibited weapon offense as well. 0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:09.439 All right, we'll see what happens there in the courts. 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:11.840 And I see Jake that the Triple C is launching 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:15.240 an investigation into how the Floria killer Mark bom Bara 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:19.000 was able to hold that firearms license. That's correct. 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:23.320 So listeners might remember that shocking incident in Floria last 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:28.840 year where Mark Bombarro murdered Gretel Patelchick and Jennifer Pateelchick 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:33.000 in May last year. Well, the Triple C has announced 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:35.960 today that they're launching their own investigation into just how 0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:40.320 Mark Bombarro was able to have thirteen guns. We're about 0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:43.280 to hear any moment now from Police Commissioner Cole Blanch 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:47.159 she'll be standing out the front of police headquarters commenting 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:50.640 on that movement from the Triple C. Today, we'll bring 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:54.399 you his response to their investigation that they're about to 0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:59.360 launch into how Mark Bombarro was able to have thirteen 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:03.560 guns and there was any police misconduct in that investigation 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:05.399 as well. So we'll bring you all that throughout the 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:06.480 afternoon here on six PR. 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:07.800 Good on you, Jake, we'll come back to you with 0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:10.560 any updates. That's our chief of News, Jake Batrick here 0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:13.280 at six PR. Luke says the Moto GP never have 0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:16.199 and never will race on a street circuit. Olie, it 0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:19.080 is too dangerous. There is no runoff around the corners. 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:21.879 The only place to have motorcycle racing on a street 0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:25.480 circuit is the isle of Man T T. And I 0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:28.399 think the racetrack will be great, says David. Look at 0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:31.159 city tracks in Singapore, Vegas, Monaco. We could be on 0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:35.560 the world stage one day, Jacko saying he's lived in 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:38.080 Burzwood now for thirty one years. We still have signs 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:41.560 around saying Volk Green stop the motorplex, go on, just 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:45.760 build its money man. Jason Featherby has arrived. He's about 0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:48.120 to step into the studios to answer edy at all 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:51.320 of your personal finance questions. He's very popular. I suggest 0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:53.480 you call him now and he could talk to him 0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:56.600 in just a moment. That number is one, double three 0:18:56.760 --> 0:18:59.800 eight eighty two, and he's looking very official today. He's 0:18:59.840 --> 0:19:03.080 got the jacket on. Hello Jason, Hello Oliver Ben he 0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:03.720 caught today. 0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:07.320 No, but it is sixteen degrees outside. 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:10.600 No sweater, just scarne, the jacket, just the jacket. 0:19:10.600 --> 0:19:14.320 Today I went to breakfast with a couple of important gentlemen. 0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:14.919 There you go. 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:17.000 Yes, so that's why I wore the jacket. 0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:18.880 But we were saying in the preview, you don't call 0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:21.639 him anymore, you don't take him to breakfast anymore. I 0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:23.920 don't have dinners, don't have lunches, some guessing he wasn't 0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:25.040 who you were with this morning. 0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:26.000 No, no, no. 0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:28.600 But in my defense, as I walked out last week, 0:19:28.680 --> 0:19:30.600 Simon as I walked in, actually Simon said to me, 0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:33.840 I need to call you. Yes, I will call you 0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:34.920 next week, and he has it. 0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:36.840 I need to buy a car. I need some advice. 0:19:37.359 --> 0:19:39.000 I will call you. Has he called you? 0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:42.920 I check my phone every couple of hours and nothing, nothing, Simon. 0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:44.800 Simon, Just call him six two eighty five one two 0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:47.320 three four. Even Simon's called the talkback lines now and 0:19:47.359 --> 0:19:49.840 you can have your conversation about the car. Then. 0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:53.639 Does that sounds he hasn't called me? 0:19:53.800 --> 0:19:54.240 No? 0:19:54.320 --> 0:19:55.479 Does that upset you a little bit? 0:19:56.160 --> 0:19:58.280 No? Not not much. 0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:03.280 If he called wonder, but if it's on, it's on him. 0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:05.800 All right, let's get a tapping because Johann has got 0:20:05.800 --> 0:20:07.119 a question for you today. By the way, if you 0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:10.040 want to talk to Jason one double three two, Hi, Yohart, 0:20:11.400 --> 0:20:12.560 Well just. 0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:16.959 A quick one. Jason got a super anuation. I suppose 0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:19.040 fund with Gaesby. No, we all know Gaesby. 0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:19.440 It's got it. 0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:23.320 I suppose benefits to be by a Gasby. But someone 0:20:23.400 --> 0:20:27.040 has recently mentioned super Sorry master wrap accounts to me 0:20:27.119 --> 0:20:30.800 and suggested the potentially considering moving your super anuation to 0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:33.840 a master wrap account. Can you explain a little bit 0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:36.240 more about the benefits of a master rap. 0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:37.440 Okay, yeah, I can. 0:20:37.520 --> 0:20:40.080 Yes, we used master wraps, and they call them wrap 0:20:40.119 --> 0:20:42.920 accounts because they they wrap all your investments up into 0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:46.240 one place and provide the administration for you. So Gaesby, 0:20:46.280 --> 0:20:49.200 I guess, to go back to your original point, Gaesby 0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:52.440 does have all the old Gaesby. West State does have 0:20:52.960 --> 0:20:56.600 one particular advantage over all other super funds as long 0:20:56.640 --> 0:20:58.639 as you're still working for the state government, and that 0:20:58.800 --> 0:21:02.159 is it doesn't have the normal concessional caps that we 0:21:02.240 --> 0:21:04.760 all have, So the thirty thousand dollars cap that we 0:21:04.840 --> 0:21:07.160 have each year, that's not such a thing at Gesby. 0:21:07.200 --> 0:21:09.440 So for that reason, if you are working for the 0:21:09.480 --> 0:21:12.160 government and you do have an old Gaesbee account, it's 0:21:12.320 --> 0:21:15.280 very unwise to close it down altogether, so you can 0:21:15.400 --> 0:21:18.560 use them in conjunction with a master wrap type super 0:21:18.560 --> 0:21:22.159 fund your hand. And the advantages master wraps have over 0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:25.359 all industry funds, but. 0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:27.520 As well as Gesby is that they do have. 0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:30.439 Their own bank account, which sounds really weird, but within 0:21:30.480 --> 0:21:32.359 the super fund. There's a cash account and all your 0:21:32.359 --> 0:21:35.160 contributions going to the bank account, and if you ever 0:21:35.160 --> 0:21:38.480 pay expenses or insurance premiums, or you're taking a pension, 0:21:38.880 --> 0:21:40.720 that money comes out of the bank account, and so 0:21:41.080 --> 0:21:44.000 you're running a like a working account within your super fund, 0:21:44.000 --> 0:21:47.240 where industry fund's like Gesbie. Whenever you pay for something, 0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:50.200 whenever you take a pension out, they have to sell 0:21:50.240 --> 0:21:53.520 shares in the investment option that you've got, and it's 0:21:53.520 --> 0:21:55.359 not always a good time to sell shares. So the 0:21:55.359 --> 0:21:57.960 cash accounts an advantage. And the other thing that wrap 0:21:58.080 --> 0:22:02.040 type super funds allow is that they allow direct investment 0:22:02.080 --> 0:22:03.840 into blue chip shares and things like that, so that 0:22:03.880 --> 0:22:07.000 saves you on management fees, but they also have significant 0:22:07.000 --> 0:22:10.359 tax benefits. So that's why your advisor or whoever you 0:22:10.400 --> 0:22:13.560 sought advice from, was heading down that path. The benefit 0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:16.240 of having a Gasbee fund is that you don't have 0:22:16.320 --> 0:22:18.040 to get rid of it to have a wrap account. 0:22:18.040 --> 0:22:20.440 You can run both and we often do so. Put 0:22:20.480 --> 0:22:22.879 all your contributions into Gesbie every year or two you 0:22:22.960 --> 0:22:25.320 can get you can roll over into your wrap account 0:22:25.480 --> 0:22:27.639 and have the best of both worlds. 0:22:28.640 --> 0:22:30.160 Thank you. That makes perfect sense. 0:22:30.440 --> 0:22:32.040 Thanks you ahan, I'm glad. 0:22:32.160 --> 0:22:35.040 That's good, isn't it? Good starts today makes perfect sense. 0:22:35.080 --> 0:22:37.200 That always nervous when you walk in, but off to 0:22:37.240 --> 0:22:37.720 a good start. 0:22:37.800 --> 0:22:40.520 One double three eight atty two to put it in 0:22:40.520 --> 0:22:43.040 all of your questions to Jason Featherby, the director of 0:22:43.080 --> 0:22:47.600 Lewin Wealth, John says he's miscalculated his salary sacrifice. He's 0:22:47.680 --> 0:22:51.680 overpaid his concessional super contributions for his tax year by 0:22:51.760 --> 0:22:55.120 about fifteen hundred dollars over the thirty thousand dollars allowed. 0:22:55.920 --> 0:22:58.680 What are my options? 0:22:58.840 --> 0:23:01.240 It's not a huge disas, so the tax office will 0:23:01.320 --> 0:23:02.920 have a look at you. If you haven't used your 0:23:03.480 --> 0:23:08.760 thirty thousand dollars cap in prior years, and you your 0:23:08.760 --> 0:23:11.159 balance was under five hundred thousand dollars in soup as 0:23:11.200 --> 0:23:13.800 at June thirty, June last year, then there's no issue. 0:23:13.800 --> 0:23:16.320 You can just use that to catch up. So that's 0:23:16.359 --> 0:23:18.240 a cool new rule, or relatively good rule. 0:23:18.440 --> 0:23:20.639 If you have used your caps every year and you 0:23:20.760 --> 0:23:22.639 go over, the tax office are right to you, and 0:23:22.760 --> 0:23:25.600 essentially you'll just pay marginal tax on the amount above 0:23:26.800 --> 0:23:29.400 above the cap. So not a huge disaster, no worse 0:23:29.440 --> 0:23:30.800 off than you probably would have been. 0:23:31.720 --> 0:23:34.160 Just that you've just gone over and it happens a lot. 0:23:34.240 --> 0:23:36.400 One, double three at only to keep those questions coming 0:23:36.400 --> 0:23:39.440 through to Jason Featherby. Today we're going to talk about 0:23:39.440 --> 0:23:41.040 helping the kids into a home and what you need 0:23:41.119 --> 0:23:44.199 to consider, because of course we all are living amongst 0:23:44.240 --> 0:23:47.879 a massive real estate boom here in Estralia, particularly in 0:23:48.040 --> 0:23:50.280 Wa of the last couple of years, so more and 0:23:50.280 --> 0:23:52.119 more parents have to assist their children to get into 0:23:52.160 --> 0:23:55.080 the property markets. Sounds like an easy thing to do, Jason, 0:23:55.119 --> 0:23:56.760 but isn't always the case. 0:23:57.040 --> 0:23:57.800 I don't think so. 0:23:57.880 --> 0:24:01.360 And you do need to be a little careful before 0:24:01.560 --> 0:24:04.720 throwing money at your kids. So, and I've brought this 0:24:04.800 --> 0:24:07.080 up for two reasons. I think our medium price is 0:24:07.200 --> 0:24:11.280 a million dollars now national nationally, which is yeah, nationally, 0:24:11.320 --> 0:24:14.719 which is unbelievable considering where we were three or four 0:24:14.800 --> 0:24:15.240 years ago. 0:24:15.920 --> 0:24:17.800 And more and more it's harder to get into the 0:24:17.800 --> 0:24:18.480 property market. 0:24:18.720 --> 0:24:21.880 More and more parents now have wealth in their own 0:24:21.880 --> 0:24:25.240 homes and getting towards retirement, so it's a common question 0:24:25.400 --> 0:24:29.280 should you help. My overarching thought is yes, absolutely, you 0:24:29.320 --> 0:24:33.320 should help if you can afford to. Yes, So you 0:24:33.440 --> 0:24:36.280 must be in a decent position financially yourself and helping 0:24:36.320 --> 0:24:40.480 your kids must not well, in my opinion, derail your 0:24:40.480 --> 0:24:41.640 own retirement plans. 0:24:42.600 --> 0:24:44.160 Otherwise, think twice. 0:24:44.200 --> 0:24:48.800 I mean, you've all been through it, you've done it tough, 0:24:48.840 --> 0:24:51.240 you've saved money, you've found your own house, and you've 0:24:51.240 --> 0:24:54.560 found your own way. And most kids will do they 0:24:54.600 --> 0:24:56.800 need the help? If you ask them, do they want it? 0:24:56.880 --> 0:24:59.280 Probably in a lot of case no, not to your 0:24:59.320 --> 0:25:01.840 own detriment. But if you're in a good financial position, 0:25:01.920 --> 0:25:04.960 then my thinking is yes. And then you go to 0:25:05.000 --> 0:25:07.679 the next phase of questioning in why can't your kids 0:25:08.440 --> 0:25:10.720 own their own home? If they're just useless with money, 0:25:11.160 --> 0:25:13.600 Throwing money at them will probably not help them at all. 0:25:14.000 --> 0:25:17.919 And if they're living on the edge and you burden 0:25:17.920 --> 0:25:20.120 them or sell them with a big mortgage, then will 0:25:20.119 --> 0:25:22.359 it just pile pain on them financially. 0:25:22.440 --> 0:25:24.800 So you sort of need to attack it from two fronts. 0:25:24.840 --> 0:25:27.480 Sure, so birth prices are up nearly eighty percent since 0:25:27.480 --> 0:25:30.480 the onset of COVID. That is ristic staggering figure in 0:25:30.560 --> 0:25:33.119 what five or six years, So let's go to that. 0:25:33.280 --> 0:25:36.840 What financial position should you be in before you are 0:25:36.880 --> 0:25:38.440 able to provide a little bit of help? 0:25:38.520 --> 0:25:39.440 If you are well. 0:25:39.440 --> 0:25:42.439 I reckon you should be able to at a minimum, 0:25:42.480 --> 0:25:44.240 you should make sure you've got enough for a rainy 0:25:44.320 --> 0:25:47.200 day yourself, so you know if something goes wrong, be 0:25:47.320 --> 0:25:50.320 financially comfortable before helping your kids. I think you should 0:25:50.320 --> 0:25:53.240 have your own house paid off, a bit of financially independent, 0:25:54.040 --> 0:25:56.480 and this you know your income comes from other sources, 0:25:56.560 --> 0:26:00.119 so you're not just relying on your own wage. We've 0:26:00.119 --> 0:26:04.240 got other investment, super investment properties, share portfolios, so be 0:26:04.880 --> 0:26:08.399 pretty well independent yourself and be able to afford to 0:26:08.480 --> 0:26:10.960 live if something goes wrong as well. So in terms 0:26:11.000 --> 0:26:13.879 of your own position, almost be at retirement, have your 0:26:13.920 --> 0:26:16.000 GEBT paid off, have a pretty good super fund, have 0:26:16.080 --> 0:26:18.320 a bit of money set aside, and then you can 0:26:18.359 --> 0:26:19.600 start thinking about helping the kids. 0:26:19.640 --> 0:26:21.120 All right, we're going to talk in a moment about 0:26:21.440 --> 0:26:24.440 how to determine how you should provide the funds. But 0:26:24.600 --> 0:26:27.280 on the subject, Chris is just phoning through. Good afternoon, 0:26:28.680 --> 0:26:29.680 Good after the guys. 0:26:30.000 --> 0:26:32.520 Yeah, just a couple of questions have been help us out. 0:26:32.640 --> 0:26:35.320 I've got a daughter in Canada and she wants to 0:26:35.320 --> 0:26:38.200 put a down payment on the house over there. Can't 0:26:38.240 --> 0:26:41.200 afford the down payment, can't afford the mortgage if I 0:26:41.280 --> 0:26:44.000 help her out with the down payment. I've also got 0:26:44.040 --> 0:26:46.160 a son in one of my houses here that I'm 0:26:46.280 --> 0:26:48.680 currently subdividing, and I was going to subdivide the back 0:26:48.800 --> 0:26:50.399 block and use that money to help her out with 0:26:51.800 --> 0:26:56.800 But the only thing is can I gift money from 0:26:56.920 --> 0:26:59.359 my super? And how will that affect me later on 0:26:59.480 --> 0:27:03.000 if I do ever need a pension and they're in 0:27:03.119 --> 0:27:03.960 taxes involved. 0:27:05.359 --> 0:27:05.520 Yeah? 0:27:05.560 --> 0:27:09.440 No, they're good questions. So my immediate thinking is that 0:27:09.720 --> 0:27:12.000 you've got two kids. You've already helped one out by 0:27:12.080 --> 0:27:14.600 letting them live in a house that you own. The 0:27:14.720 --> 0:27:17.760 one lives in Canada. I assume she wants to say 0:27:17.800 --> 0:27:22.200 there permanently, and I don't know the Canadian house purchasing rules, 0:27:22.200 --> 0:27:24.760 but assuming you can buy one for her and that 0:27:24.880 --> 0:27:27.520 she can get a debt, then that's not a bad 0:27:27.920 --> 0:27:29.760 way to help. 0:27:31.040 --> 0:27:32.480 In terms of your own situation. 0:27:33.200 --> 0:27:35.119 You've got to be able to access SUPER, so be 0:27:35.280 --> 0:27:38.800 sixty and above or sixty five and retire to take 0:27:38.880 --> 0:27:41.760 money out of Super and gift her the deposit for 0:27:41.800 --> 0:27:45.840 a house. That gift is accessible by sentiling for five years. 0:27:45.880 --> 0:27:47.760 If you're going to go down the age pension path, 0:27:48.280 --> 0:27:51.360 it's a whole mind field of stuff, Chris. But ultimately, 0:27:51.760 --> 0:27:57.000 if your daughter can just afford a mortgage, then is 0:27:57.040 --> 0:28:00.639 it a simple and you're comfortable gifting her money? Do 0:28:00.800 --> 0:28:03.920 you give a simple gift whereas that money will disappear 0:28:03.960 --> 0:28:06.600 with her if she gets into financial trouble or finds 0:28:06.600 --> 0:28:09.399 the wrong partner. It's just a minefield of stuff that 0:28:09.520 --> 0:28:12.879 you do need to tiptoe through, probably with advice. But 0:28:13.720 --> 0:28:17.200 in terms of attacking you souper to help, yeah, I'd 0:28:17.240 --> 0:28:19.680 think twice. You'd have to be in a really comfortable. 0:28:19.280 --> 0:28:26.680 Position, right, yeah, Okay, So is there a value on 0:28:26.880 --> 0:28:30.240 the affecting central link? Like if I give my son 0:28:30.400 --> 0:28:33.680 that house and then I give my daughter the down deposit? 0:28:34.960 --> 0:28:37.520 Is there a value on the five year gift? 0:28:38.280 --> 0:28:41.200 No, whether you're allowed you're allowed ten thousand dollars each 0:28:41.320 --> 0:28:43.320 year to gift, which isn't a lot, or thirty thousand 0:28:43.360 --> 0:28:46.960 over five anything above that. There's no limit, but it's 0:28:47.000 --> 0:28:49.080 assessed as an asset for five years. So if you're 0:28:49.160 --> 0:28:51.680 hell bent on doing this, the best time to do 0:28:51.760 --> 0:28:53.720 it is about, you know, sixty one or sixty two 0:28:53.800 --> 0:28:55.160 years of age. So by the time you get to 0:28:55.360 --> 0:28:57.760 age pension age, that gift has served. 0:28:57.800 --> 0:29:01.160 It's I guess it's intents, and it's no longer an 0:29:01.160 --> 0:29:03.640 asset from centraling's point of view. It was gifted five 0:29:03.720 --> 0:29:04.120 years ago. 0:29:04.240 --> 0:29:06.400 So if you want, if you're hell bent on doing it, 0:29:06.480 --> 0:29:08.520 if you're sixty one or two, and you want to 0:29:08.560 --> 0:29:11.040 make that gift now, and you're going to make it anyway, now, 0:29:11.080 --> 0:29:12.480 it's the time to do it, because by the time 0:29:12.520 --> 0:29:15.120 you get to penchionates, Chris, it is no longer assessed 0:29:15.120 --> 0:29:16.880 as an asset and that money has disappeared. 0:29:18.400 --> 0:29:21.400 Right, Okay, And is there any tax I'm gifting that money? 0:29:21.440 --> 0:29:21.680 Do I have? 0:29:22.640 --> 0:29:22.680 No? 0:29:22.840 --> 0:29:24.520 There's no tax on gifts. There's no tax for them, 0:29:24.560 --> 0:29:25.320 there's no tax for you. 0:29:25.640 --> 0:29:28.080 There's probably some capital gains on the sale and subdivision 0:29:28.120 --> 0:29:29.880 of that property, which you'll need to get some advice on, 0:29:30.000 --> 0:29:32.200 but all together a complex situation. 0:29:32.400 --> 0:29:34.520 Yeah, Chris, don't give Jim Charmers any ideas. He'd love 0:29:34.520 --> 0:29:37.040 to tax gifts, wouldn't he'd love to tax? 0:29:37.080 --> 0:29:40.560 Don't keep asking, no, no, no, Helen a gag on 0:29:40.600 --> 0:29:42.360 a minute, Why don't we tax gifts? 0:29:42.440 --> 0:29:43.200 It's good, isn't it? 0:29:43.720 --> 0:29:46.080 Imagine getting taxed on the little are your birthday cards? 0:29:46.120 --> 0:29:46.880 For your kids each year. 0:29:47.000 --> 0:29:49.720 That's right, ten dollars for the sun and twenty dollars 0:29:49.800 --> 0:29:50.120 for gym. 0:29:50.720 --> 0:29:53.880 Get stuffed. Well, you learn to pay tax early, that's true. 0:29:54.320 --> 0:29:56.400 One double three out of two. To talk to Jason 0:29:56.480 --> 0:29:59.440 will talk about helping your kids out into a home 0:29:59.520 --> 0:30:01.800 and if it's not a gift, there are some other options. 0:30:01.880 --> 0:30:06.200 Next with Jason Veatherby in the studios this afternoon, Pizza 0:30:06.200 --> 0:30:10.440 in Riverton needs a bit of help. Good afternoon, Good afternoon. 0:30:10.680 --> 0:30:14.720 Yes, I'm not really financially minded. I'm sixty six this 0:30:14.880 --> 0:30:18.320 year and I need to start thinking about my retirement options. 0:30:18.400 --> 0:30:21.000 And I'm just wondering what my first steps should really be. 0:30:21.200 --> 0:30:26.160 I've had a few different opinions from people I've been 0:30:26.200 --> 0:30:28.920 with a divine benefit from since nineteen eighty nine with 0:30:29.040 --> 0:30:33.000 local government. But yeah, I'm just sort of wondering where 0:30:33.040 --> 0:30:35.920 I should If I should go to the company, the companies, 0:30:35.960 --> 0:30:39.760 the two companies that I'm with initially, or go to 0:30:39.840 --> 0:30:40.800 a financial planner. 0:30:41.600 --> 0:30:43.640 I'm a bit It's a good question, and it's high 0:30:43.720 --> 0:30:46.120 time Peter to get some advice. No matter where you go, Yeah, 0:30:46.240 --> 0:30:49.560 you will get some I guess some decent information from 0:30:50.360 --> 0:30:53.120 the two funds that you're with, but not you know, 0:30:53.240 --> 0:30:59.520 particularly complicated or tailored, tailored advice. That's a better word, 0:31:00.080 --> 0:31:02.760 so tailored advice. So go and see your financial advisor. 0:31:02.800 --> 0:31:05.200 Go and see a couple and see what you think, 0:31:05.400 --> 0:31:07.360 get what, get an idea, what things cost and what 0:31:07.480 --> 0:31:10.680 you can do. I mean immediately when I hear sixty six, 0:31:10.760 --> 0:31:12.920 I think, well, you should have started a pension at 0:31:12.960 --> 0:31:15.000 sixty five, and are you still working? And if you're not, 0:31:15.120 --> 0:31:18.200 you define benefits probably converted to a like a cash 0:31:18.280 --> 0:31:22.160 type fund, and why is it doing that? So you're 0:31:22.240 --> 0:31:24.480 hie time. So you know, you do need to get 0:31:24.520 --> 0:31:27.120 some advice when you're sixty six. You want to be 0:31:27.200 --> 0:31:30.040 working out what you're going to need to spend in retirement. 0:31:30.320 --> 0:31:32.280 If there's any debt, pay it off, if you have 0:31:32.400 --> 0:31:35.720 super which you do, start an account based pension because 0:31:35.920 --> 0:31:38.479 it turns your tax rate from fifteen percent on earnings 0:31:38.520 --> 0:31:41.720 to zero. All those types of things need to be considered, all. 0:31:41.640 --> 0:31:43.880 Right, speak, Maybe you can give Jason a call off 0:31:43.920 --> 0:31:46.160 Air six to eight five one two three four. I 0:31:46.280 --> 0:31:46.680 said it not. 0:31:46.760 --> 0:31:49.240 Jason after Simon is he called I don't have a 0:31:49.280 --> 0:31:50.440 looks he called you yet? 0:31:50.800 --> 0:31:50.840 No? 0:31:51.200 --> 0:31:52.600 No, still still know it's. 0:31:52.440 --> 0:31:54.680 Been a week and the phone hasn't called sixty eight 0:31:54.760 --> 0:31:56.280 five one two three four. If you want to call 0:31:56.400 --> 0:31:59.040 Jason Winnies not here between one point thirty and two 0:31:59.040 --> 0:32:02.560 o'clock on a Wednesday afternoon on six PR Brian get a. 0:32:04.080 --> 0:32:08.400 Yeah, Ilian, Jason. Yeah. Look, I've self employed and I've 0:32:08.960 --> 0:32:13.120 had a life insurance policy and I've been paying quite 0:32:13.120 --> 0:32:15.640 a few years and the policy is starting to add up, 0:32:15.680 --> 0:32:18.080 and I'm just looking for advice and whether the pros 0:32:18.080 --> 0:32:21.400 and cons of ensuring through my superfund. 0:32:22.120 --> 0:32:23.840 Well, I guess the pro Brian is that the super 0:32:23.880 --> 0:32:24.640 fund pays for it. 0:32:24.720 --> 0:32:26.840 You don't pay for it personally, which is cool, and 0:32:26.880 --> 0:32:30.080 which is why a lot of people do take out 0:32:30.120 --> 0:32:31.760 those life insurance policies in Super. 0:32:31.800 --> 0:32:32.240 Initially. 0:32:32.480 --> 0:32:34.760 The other thing that super has going for it when 0:32:34.800 --> 0:32:36.800 it owns your life insurance is that it can claim 0:32:36.840 --> 0:32:39.160 a tax reduction for the premiums. It will be it 0:32:39.160 --> 0:32:41.840 at fifteen percent, but it is a fifteen percent discount, 0:32:42.680 --> 0:32:44.840 so it's often a good idea to hold it in 0:32:44.920 --> 0:32:48.280 Super for that purpose. Anyway, Ultimately, if you did leave us, 0:32:48.400 --> 0:32:51.480 then the money would end up in the hands of 0:32:51.480 --> 0:32:55.240 your dependence, tax free anyway, So that bit's okay. 0:32:56.520 --> 0:32:58.880 In terms of do you need it and you're paying 0:32:58.880 --> 0:32:59.040 for it? 0:32:59.120 --> 0:33:01.800 And insurance does get expensive, and over time the need 0:33:01.880 --> 0:33:04.720 for insurance does diminish. The kids get older, the debt reduces, 0:33:05.040 --> 0:33:07.720 your other assets are that your own increase in value? 0:33:07.800 --> 0:33:10.440 So again, just worth getting it looked at every year 0:33:10.560 --> 0:33:12.200 or two to see, well do I really need this? 0:33:12.320 --> 0:33:15.040 What would happen to my wife or family if I 0:33:15.200 --> 0:33:15.880 was to pass away? 0:33:15.920 --> 0:33:17.840 And if the answers, you know, they'd be sad for 0:33:17.880 --> 0:33:19.840 a little while, but financially they'd be okay. 0:33:19.960 --> 0:33:22.240 Then you probably don't need it anymore. You certainly don't 0:33:22.280 --> 0:33:22.760 need as much. 0:33:23.160 --> 0:33:24.920 Got on your Brian thanks to the call one double 0:33:25.000 --> 0:33:28.120 three added each of your questions to Jason Featherbee. Let's 0:33:28.160 --> 0:33:30.080 go back to talking about helping the kids into a 0:33:30.160 --> 0:33:32.960 home and what you need to consider. The gift option 0:33:33.200 --> 0:33:33.680 was mentioned. 0:33:33.720 --> 0:33:34.720 What about a loan? 0:33:35.240 --> 0:33:37.120 Yeah, I like the loan idea. 0:33:37.160 --> 0:33:40.520 I know it's a little bit more complicated, but a 0:33:40.560 --> 0:33:43.000 gift is gone. So I make a gift to my 0:33:43.440 --> 0:33:46.600 son or daughter they get into financial difficulty or they 0:33:47.440 --> 0:33:48.880 you know, they use it to buy a house, but 0:33:48.960 --> 0:33:50.800 then they sell the house and use it to buy ferrari, 0:33:50.960 --> 0:33:54.160 or they get into a bad relationship, that money that 0:33:54.440 --> 0:33:57.920 I've worked hard for, that I've gifted to them can disappear. 0:33:58.040 --> 0:34:00.440 So a loan sort of helps protect that little bit. 0:34:00.560 --> 0:34:04.160 So you lend that money instead of gifting it, and 0:34:04.240 --> 0:34:08.279 then in the event that's something untoward happens, you've got 0:34:08.320 --> 0:34:10.040 a documented loan that sort. 0:34:09.880 --> 0:34:11.120 Of you can claim that money back. 0:34:11.160 --> 0:34:13.720 It doesn't stop you from relending it to that same child, 0:34:14.280 --> 0:34:17.040 but it might just stop that money or a big 0:34:17.120 --> 0:34:20.480 chunk of it walking away with a lousy partner or 0:34:20.840 --> 0:34:21.719 someone they own money to. 0:34:21.880 --> 0:34:23.759 What about an interest rate to your child or you 0:34:24.200 --> 0:34:24.800 let that one go. 0:34:25.080 --> 0:34:26.840 I think I'd let that one Okay, Yeah, you can 0:34:27.160 --> 0:34:29.520 have a no interest loan. You can even have a gift. 0:34:29.640 --> 0:34:32.000 I think that's it's called a contingent gift that. 0:34:32.360 --> 0:34:34.080 Well, it includes like a prenup or something. 0:34:34.200 --> 0:34:35.840 Yeah, it sort of gets. 0:34:35.800 --> 0:34:38.640 Triggered on certain events, so bankruptcy or the divorce or 0:34:38.680 --> 0:34:41.760 the sale of that property that money gets, you're allowed 0:34:41.800 --> 0:34:43.520 to claim that money back. So I like the idea 0:34:43.560 --> 0:34:46.440 of having some sort of paperwork around a gift. If 0:34:46.480 --> 0:34:48.480 it's five or ten thousand dollars, probably not worth it. 0:34:48.800 --> 0:34:51.080 If it's two hundred thousand dollars, then yeah, protect your 0:34:51.120 --> 0:34:51.799 own money as well. 0:34:51.920 --> 0:34:53.239 What about being a guaranteel? 0:34:53.760 --> 0:34:56.080 No, I don't last resort for me. 0:34:56.760 --> 0:34:58.640 You know, it is another way to help, but you're 0:34:58.680 --> 0:35:00.560 on the hook for the debt that you're kids have 0:35:01.239 --> 0:35:03.600 and before you go guarante or you need to understand that. 0:35:04.000 --> 0:35:07.879 And you don't want their own financial distress causing your 0:35:08.320 --> 0:35:09.640 you distress in retirement. 0:35:09.760 --> 0:35:12.960 So guarantee for me not a great idea. 0:35:13.040 --> 0:35:16.000 And if you're going to go down that path to 0:35:16.040 --> 0:35:18.520 get some advice with your kids, yeah, go and sit 0:35:18.600 --> 0:35:20.400 down with them with an advisor and say, well, what 0:35:20.520 --> 0:35:23.440 position are they in? Are they stable, do they have 0:35:23.520 --> 0:35:26.120 income protection insurance? What sort of relationship are they in? 0:35:26.800 --> 0:35:27.879 Before you head down that path. 0:35:28.000 --> 0:35:30.239 Would you prefer to go and buy it together? Say 0:35:30.440 --> 0:35:32.920 son and father or mother and daughter. 0:35:32.880 --> 0:35:34.520 Or you see this a bit and I think it 0:35:34.600 --> 0:35:36.759 does help, but it can cause problems if you know, 0:35:36.960 --> 0:35:40.040 it's certainly a capital gains issue for the mum or dad. 0:35:40.080 --> 0:35:42.960 If the house or the property was ever sold, you 0:35:43.080 --> 0:35:45.800 might run into liquidit issues down the track and you 0:35:45.880 --> 0:35:47.440 want to sell, but the kids aren't in a position 0:35:47.560 --> 0:35:52.400 to or vice versa. Again, think twice before jumping in. 0:35:52.640 --> 0:35:54.280 Okay, anything else needs to be considered. 0:35:54.760 --> 0:35:55.319 No, not really. 0:35:55.480 --> 0:35:57.640 Just make sure that you are aware of your own 0:35:57.680 --> 0:36:01.200 financial situation. You understand why you're kids can't afford a house, 0:36:01.600 --> 0:36:04.120 and you make sure that they've got insurance, they've got wills. 0:36:04.239 --> 0:36:06.319 Everything's sort of tickty boo before you throw a heap 0:36:06.360 --> 0:36:06.840 of money at it. 0:36:06.960 --> 0:36:08.719 Are you having a big party next Monday night? 0:36:09.520 --> 0:36:10.719 When is it a first of July? 0:36:10.880 --> 0:36:11.000 Is it? 0:36:11.080 --> 0:36:13.719 Well, it's the thirtieth journe so into financially you're having 0:36:13.719 --> 0:36:14.200 a big party. 0:36:14.360 --> 0:36:14.520 Yeah. 0:36:14.600 --> 0:36:16.440 Look, I feel like it's been a particular I think 0:36:16.640 --> 0:36:19.400 in Perth. I don't know what you think, but we 0:36:19.520 --> 0:36:21.680 seem to be doing okay economically and there's a lot 0:36:21.760 --> 0:36:24.919 of people contributing extra money into souper this year, more 0:36:25.040 --> 0:36:28.080 so than from recent memory anyway than I can remember. 0:36:28.160 --> 0:36:30.400 All right, so it's pretty cool from a Western Australian 0:36:30.400 --> 0:36:30.799 point of view. 0:36:30.880 --> 0:36:33.719 See your next financial year, Yes, can't wait, look forward 0:36:33.760 --> 0:36:33.880 to it. 0:36:33.960 --> 0:36:34.200 Thank you. 0:36:34.320 --> 0:36:37.239 Jason. That is the director of Lewenwealth, Jason Featherbe.

Provide me with 0:37:59.840 --> 0:38:02.200 your news tips in Perth Lives, word on the streets 0:38:02.760 --> 0:38:06.879 all thanks to WA assets. Brad Pettitt, the Greens leader, 0:38:07.040 --> 0:38:09.239 live after four because he wants to stay cover and 0:38:09.280 --> 0:38:13.759 to build apartments around every train station on the Fremantle Line, 0:38:14.719 --> 0:38:16.720 and he's calling on the government to provide an update 0:38:16.760 --> 0:38:20.200 on their progress towards recommendations from the councils, inquiring too 0:38:20.200 --> 0:38:24.239 the funding of homelessness services in Ware. Should there be 0:38:24.360 --> 0:38:27.480 more apartments on the Freemantle Line, on the Western Suburbs 0:38:27.560 --> 0:38:29.399 line and if that were to be is it about 0:38:29.440 --> 0:38:34.560 sinking the railway line one double three eight eighty two. 0:38:35.239 --> 0:38:41.040 The Save Burswood Alliance is still on the war path to. 0:38:41.560 --> 0:38:41.920 Have the. 0:38:43.560 --> 0:38:46.719 Motor racing track scrapped altogether, saying it's in the wrong 0:38:46.800 --> 0:38:50.280 location and arguing today that eighty five percent of people 0:38:50.440 --> 0:38:54.239 oppose the race track. The community wants small green space, 0:38:54.360 --> 0:38:57.040 less noise. The development is wrong for the area, it says, 0:38:59.160 --> 0:39:01.759 and reckons it must be the same bunch that were 0:39:01.840 --> 0:39:04.960 dead against Elizabeth Key when it was announced and thank 0:39:05.000 --> 0:39:06.600 god we don't have any of them trying to get 0:39:07.080 --> 0:39:10.719 WAU of this Dullsville status that we keep finding ourselves in. 0:39:12.120 --> 0:39:14.560 Perhaps we should just continue being the cash cow that 0:39:14.680 --> 0:39:16.479 makes all the money for the other states to build 0:39:16.520 --> 0:39:19.520 the world class precincts, so they are the ones who 0:39:19.600 --> 0:39:24.600 can attract and secure world class events, not us. And 0:39:25.200 --> 0:39:28.960 what about building a street circuit on Langley Park? Could 0:39:29.040 --> 0:39:33.120 stay set up? Still have the amphitheater of Burswood, says Colin. 0:39:33.880 --> 0:39:37.320 While Patrick of Byford's been an RAC member for fifty 0:39:37.440 --> 0:39:40.440 years and has insured his vehicles with them throughout that 0:39:40.719 --> 0:39:44.600 entire time. My premiums have not increased significantly in the 0:39:44.640 --> 0:39:47.000 past few years, and I expect a sale of its 0:39:47.040 --> 0:39:50.320 insurance arm will be less than favorable. The RAC I 0:39:50.320 --> 0:39:54.440 thinks deviated from its original charter and its purpose, and 0:39:54.640 --> 0:39:59.360 it's extraordinarily woke. I've been to their regular magazine unopen 0:39:59.440 --> 0:40:03.000 for years because it's unreadable in my view. That's from Patrick, 0:40:03.560 --> 0:40:05.279 So submissions are open at the moment. With the AA 0:40:05.440 --> 0:40:11.360 triple C about IAG's takeover of RAC's insurance arm, do 0:40:11.440 --> 0:40:14.400 you oppose it? And maybe you've recently got a renewal 0:40:14.480 --> 0:40:18.799 for your car insurance? Has it gone up significantly? One 0:40:18.920 --> 0:40:29.839 double three eight eighty two It is eleven after two. 0:40:29.960 --> 0:40:33.560 The state government today has released some details for gps 0:40:34.040 --> 0:40:40.160 to be able to diagnose ADYHD and provide prescriptions. It's 0:40:40.200 --> 0:40:43.880 not available to every single GP, but is this a 0:40:44.040 --> 0:40:47.680 step in the right direction to help people who might 0:40:47.719 --> 0:40:53.919 be on a backlog confirm or otherwise an ADHD diagnosis 0:40:54.120 --> 0:40:57.520 one double three eight eighty two. Rummia Ramen is the 0:40:57.600 --> 0:41:01.360 Royal Australian College of GP's chair and she's the national 0:41:01.520 --> 0:41:05.600 Vice president. Good afternoon, Hello Alie, how are you? I'm 0:41:05.600 --> 0:41:07.080 all right? How are you today? Doctor? 0:41:08.040 --> 0:41:08.200 Well? 0:41:08.280 --> 0:41:08.560 Thank you? 0:41:08.920 --> 0:41:09.400 Well, thank you. 0:41:09.760 --> 0:41:12.840 Is this a good move that some gps will be 0:41:12.920 --> 0:41:18.120 able to diagnose ADHD and prescribe medication to cope with its. 0:41:19.719 --> 0:41:24.000 Certainly onlie on behalf of the ROCGP. This commitment is 0:41:24.360 --> 0:41:27.359 very welcome and it's fantastic to see this move from 0:41:27.360 --> 0:41:33.040 the WA government after many discussions and also the support 0:41:33.120 --> 0:41:36.120 that they have thrown for our patients to be able 0:41:36.160 --> 0:41:39.080 to access ADHD care. As a GP, we see a 0:41:39.160 --> 0:41:42.279 lot of these conditions in the community and at the 0:41:42.400 --> 0:41:46.520 current time, like right now GPS, when GP specialists are 0:41:46.719 --> 0:41:51.800 not able to diagnose ADHD and prescribing, there are a 0:41:51.840 --> 0:41:54.719 lot of restrictions around that. And this doesn't mean that 0:41:54.880 --> 0:41:57.239 everyone can do it, and not all gps will have 0:41:57.360 --> 0:42:00.200 the interest to do it either, But the idea of 0:42:00.320 --> 0:42:03.080 doing this training program and the support from the government 0:42:03.120 --> 0:42:06.560 for this training program is very welcomed because it means 0:42:06.640 --> 0:42:09.799 that GPS can get upskilled in this area. They can 0:42:09.880 --> 0:42:12.120 learn a little bit more with the online training modules 0:42:12.320 --> 0:42:15.920 as well as a period of co management and mentorship 0:42:16.400 --> 0:42:20.520 from IRACGP colleagues as well as non GP specialists like 0:42:20.600 --> 0:42:22.240 pediatricians and psychiatrists. 0:42:22.440 --> 0:42:25.040 So's the pediatricians in the psychiatrists at the moment who 0:42:25.080 --> 0:42:27.200 are able to diagnose ADHD. 0:42:27.400 --> 0:42:33.040 Doctor Ramin, Yes, currently patients. Current patients currently need to 0:42:33.080 --> 0:42:35.680 actually see a psychiatrist or a pediatrician to receive a 0:42:35.760 --> 0:42:39.600 diagnosis of ADHD. And certainly as a GP, I've got 0:42:39.600 --> 0:42:42.160 a lot of patients who've got the condition or who 0:42:42.200 --> 0:42:45.279 are currently in the waitlist for an assessment and a diagnosis. 0:42:45.760 --> 0:42:47.960 And what this means that if a GP takes up 0:42:48.000 --> 0:42:50.959 the training program and initially this support has come forward 0:42:51.000 --> 0:42:54.920 from the government for sixty five gps, it means that 0:42:55.080 --> 0:42:58.120 there are supports to upskill in that area learn more 0:42:58.200 --> 0:43:01.959 about it and also be able to refer to pediatricians 0:43:02.200 --> 0:43:04.840 and psychiatrists when they need arises or be able to 0:43:05.520 --> 0:43:09.200 do combined care, which goes a long way for patients 0:43:09.440 --> 0:43:14.160 being able to see their GP to access this off assessment. 0:43:14.040 --> 0:43:16.800 One double three. I did I tell you waiting for 0:43:17.280 --> 0:43:21.440 your child to get an ADHD assessment or maybe for yourself? 0:43:21.480 --> 0:43:23.759 And how long have you had to waits? One double 0:43:23.800 --> 0:43:25.480 three attity tas have been taking a while because we 0:43:25.520 --> 0:43:28.759 know some of the backlogs to see a pediatrician it 0:43:28.880 --> 0:43:33.480 can extend into two or three years these days after Rahmen, So. 0:43:34.440 --> 0:43:36.920 The program is the commitment has just come through, so 0:43:37.040 --> 0:43:39.760 that's really great. We need to get the balls rolling 0:43:39.840 --> 0:43:42.800 in terms of trying to get everything running so that 0:43:42.920 --> 0:43:45.399 we can meet the commitment of having a certain number 0:43:45.440 --> 0:43:47.600 of gps expected to be trained by the end of 0:43:47.680 --> 0:43:50.360 twenty twenty six. So it's not something that's going to 0:43:50.440 --> 0:43:53.200 turn around immediately, but it's certainly a step in the 0:43:53.280 --> 0:43:56.480 right direction and having the support from the government is 0:43:56.640 --> 0:43:59.600 very welcomed in this space so that we can support 0:43:59.600 --> 0:43:59.959 our patient. 0:44:00.640 --> 0:44:03.840 So you're looking for training up about sixty five gps. 0:44:03.880 --> 0:44:05.399 How are you going to be able to or who's 0:44:05.440 --> 0:44:08.200 going to be assessing who gets selected if say six 0:44:08.320 --> 0:44:10.120 hundred and fifty gps put up their hands. 0:44:11.120 --> 0:44:14.360 Yeah, So initially the key thing is I had already 0:44:14.400 --> 0:44:16.680 mentioned not all the gps would be interested in this 0:44:16.840 --> 0:44:19.919 space or you know, so it's about the initial number 0:44:19.960 --> 0:44:22.560 of GPS who put their hand up to get the 0:44:22.920 --> 0:44:26.160 wheels rolling, and we're confident that we would be able 0:44:26.280 --> 0:44:29.960 to review this program. The modules are developed by ORACGP, 0:44:30.080 --> 0:44:33.440 and we're working closely with other stakeholders in this space 0:44:33.520 --> 0:44:36.880 so that they have input into reviewing this and ensuring 0:44:37.000 --> 0:44:40.279 that appropriate training occurs as well. 0:44:41.080 --> 0:44:43.520 And that training is going to take as you said, 0:44:43.600 --> 0:44:45.520 up until the end of twenty twenty six. That's obviously 0:44:45.719 --> 0:44:48.560 some quite detailed training. It's not like you're just going 0:44:48.640 --> 0:44:50.239 to sit down to a course for five minutes and 0:44:50.320 --> 0:44:50.800 you can do it. 0:44:51.920 --> 0:44:55.360 No, So the key thing is, you know, we've as GPS, 0:44:55.480 --> 0:44:57.360 we've done a medical degree and then we hold a 0:44:57.400 --> 0:45:00.680 fellowship in general practice and we are practicing in the community. 0:45:00.760 --> 0:45:03.279 But this is certainly an area that we want to 0:45:03.440 --> 0:45:06.640 ensure that quality care is delivered to patients. It's got 0:45:06.680 --> 0:45:09.840 to be the right care and to ensure that we 0:45:10.000 --> 0:45:12.799 need to make sure that the appropriate training is there 0:45:13.160 --> 0:45:16.640 and being able to understand what differential diagnosis means, so 0:45:16.680 --> 0:45:19.880 if there are other comorbid conditions, then we may need 0:45:19.960 --> 0:45:22.640 to be involving a pediatrician or psychiatrist very early on 0:45:22.719 --> 0:45:24.880 in their care, and as GPS, we've trained to do that. 0:45:25.040 --> 0:45:27.400 So all of that is embedded in this so that 0:45:27.560 --> 0:45:30.960 the right care and the right diagnosis and treatment can 0:45:31.000 --> 0:45:35.120 be offered for patients in conjunction with non GP specialists. 0:45:35.440 --> 0:45:37.360 WI has been at the forefront of this, haven't we 0:45:37.560 --> 0:45:39.480 for a little while. We're a little bit more forward 0:45:39.520 --> 0:45:41.920 looking than some of the other states and territories, Doctor Rabin, 0:45:43.000 --> 0:45:44.080 We have been, and. 0:45:44.640 --> 0:45:47.919 That's been really great because you know, I'm just really 0:45:47.960 --> 0:45:50.239 pleased that we're actually leading the work and we're leading 0:45:50.280 --> 0:45:54.360 the work from the RCGPWA in this space. So this 0:45:54.520 --> 0:45:57.120 is good news. It's actually the nation first to announce 0:45:57.239 --> 0:46:00.320 the training program and the support for the training program 0:46:00.400 --> 0:46:02.640 as well, so we're hoping that other states are potentially 0:46:02.680 --> 0:46:05.920 going to be considering this with regards to our su 0:46:06.000 --> 0:46:08.120 GP offering that training in other states. 0:46:08.800 --> 0:46:12.120 Questions just come through from Cameron. He says it sounds 0:46:12.160 --> 0:46:15.080 like there's a large increase of people being diagnosed with 0:46:15.200 --> 0:46:21.000 ADHD ADHD Doctor Rahman, is it because it's becoming financially 0:46:21.080 --> 0:46:24.040 beneficial to do this? Is it erowt what's going on? 0:46:24.160 --> 0:46:24.680 He wants to know. 0:46:26.480 --> 0:46:26.520 So. 0:46:27.239 --> 0:46:30.600 ADHD is a type of condition which falls under the 0:46:30.640 --> 0:46:36.040 category of neurodiversity. Neurodivers conditions tend to affect people in 0:46:36.080 --> 0:46:39.120 their day to day living, and we have come to 0:46:39.280 --> 0:46:42.960 know more and more about it, and you know, there 0:46:43.000 --> 0:46:45.960 are still some questions about, you know, diagnosis and what 0:46:46.080 --> 0:46:48.320 are some of the other comorbid conditions and hence the 0:46:48.840 --> 0:46:51.239 wrap around care that we are doing to ensure that 0:46:51.320 --> 0:46:55.040 there is a training program ensued with this particular condition. 0:46:55.640 --> 0:46:59.680 So certainly there is more information and more knowledge about it, 0:46:59.800 --> 0:47:04.719 not just amongst medical professionals, but also amongst patients. So 0:47:04.880 --> 0:47:08.000 diagnosis in itself is quite complex, so it's not something 0:47:08.040 --> 0:47:10.719 that would occur immediately with a GP as well who 0:47:10.760 --> 0:47:14.080 has done the training program. The consultations are going to 0:47:14.120 --> 0:47:17.440 be much longer than a regular GP consultation to ensure 0:47:17.480 --> 0:47:20.960 that appropriate steps are taken. Are they more diagnoses being made? 0:47:21.000 --> 0:47:23.560 Certainly there's more information about it. We hear a lot 0:47:23.640 --> 0:47:26.279 more about it. It would be hard to just say 0:47:26.320 --> 0:47:28.080 that there are more diagnoses per se. 0:47:28.080 --> 0:47:32.359 Being made interesting doctor Rahma, I really appreciate your time today. 0:47:32.400 --> 0:47:35.080 Thank you, thank you, thanks for having me on. 0:47:35.320 --> 0:47:39.600 My pleasure Royal Australian College of GP's whair. She's also 0:47:39.680 --> 0:47:42.879 the national vice president. Have you been waiting or maybe 0:47:42.920 --> 0:47:48.640 your child has been waiting for an ad HD assessments? 0:47:48.760 --> 0:47:52.319 And how long did that take? Is it taking one 0:47:52.400 --> 0:47:55.200 double three a totty two? I know we covered earlier 0:47:55.239 --> 0:47:58.840 in this year on the program of a Firth family 0:47:58.920 --> 0:48:01.359 who had to fly over the Eastern States to get 0:48:01.840 --> 0:48:05.160 an appointment there with a pediatrician for that exact reason 0:48:05.239 --> 0:48:07.800 to go and get a diagnosis. The delay there was 0:48:07.840 --> 0:48:09.360 about six months and here though I told it was 0:48:09.360 --> 0:48:11.560 going to take up to two and a half three years. 0:48:13.200 --> 0:48:14.920 But are you waiting for your child to get an 0:48:15.040 --> 0:48:19.160 ADHD assessment? Maybe you've had to wait a certain period 0:48:19.200 --> 0:48:22.360 of time to have that confirmation. How long does it 0:48:22.400 --> 0:48:28.120 take to get disappointments? And will now the appointments of 0:48:28.200 --> 0:48:33.279 about sixty five odd gps undertaking that further training. Will 0:48:33.320 --> 0:48:36.719 that alleviate the stress that is currently caused in the 0:48:36.800 --> 0:48:40.080 backlog and the waiting periods one double three A to 0:48:40.440 --> 0:48:43.120 two tea that reckons we all need to get off 0:48:43.160 --> 0:48:46.400 the grass because every child in the fifties, the sixties 0:48:46.440 --> 0:48:51.400 and the seventies had HDHD assume that's a little similar 0:48:51.400 --> 0:48:55.439 to ADHD. It's a great way for plenty of people 0:48:55.480 --> 0:49:00.279 to get on the ndis and they're massively over pay. 0:49:00.360 --> 0:49:04.160 There's so much money in it already. One double three 0:49:04.520 --> 0:49:08.239 eighty two. If you'd like to have you say, if 0:49:08.239 --> 0:49:10.759 you've been waiting for an assessment as a child of 0:49:10.840 --> 0:49:13.200 yours or maybe grandchild of yours been waiting for an assessment, 0:49:13.280 --> 0:49:15.880 how long have you been on the wait list, or 0:49:15.960 --> 0:49:17.840 maybe it took you a little while to get that appointments? 0:49:18.239 --> 0:49:21.040 Will this help? One double three atty two. Who are 0:49:21.040 --> 0:49:26.680 you waiting for ADHD assessments? And how long have you 0:49:26.800 --> 0:49:29.279 been waiting or maybe it's taking you a little while 0:49:29.400 --> 0:49:33.399 to secure that particular appointments One double three at eighty two. 0:49:33.680 --> 0:49:38.000 David says, after waiting almost two years to get in 0:49:38.120 --> 0:49:44.080 the c a pediatrician for an ADHD diagnosis, we were 0:49:44.160 --> 0:49:49.279 charged eighteen hundred dollars for the initial consults. I was 0:49:49.360 --> 0:49:52.680 so angry, Oli, but what can you do? It is 0:49:52.840 --> 0:49:57.640 just price gouging based on supply and demands. Will that 0:49:57.760 --> 0:50:00.680 come down? With the sixty five specialist g GPS to 0:50:00.800 --> 0:50:08.680 be trained up in diagnosing ADHD, will this help? Will 0:50:08.719 --> 0:50:10.840 it bring down those prices? And would you be happy 0:50:10.880 --> 0:50:14.400 to go and see a specialist GP instead of the 0:50:14.440 --> 0:50:18.120 pediatrician or the psychiatrist to make that assessment that evaluation 0:50:18.840 --> 0:50:23.520 one double three eight eighty two. Brian says, it's very 0:50:23.560 --> 0:50:29.279 interesting Olie Roger Cook's father, doctor Hugh Cook, established the 0:50:29.360 --> 0:50:32.799 Royal College of GPS in Wa did he that's from 0:50:32.840 --> 0:50:38.920 Brian in leaving he's worked alongside Dr Cook. Yes, he 0:50:39.120 --> 0:50:42.480 was the head of the child psychiatric unit. Wasn't he 0:50:42.520 --> 0:50:44.200 a Princess Margaret Hospital? 0:50:44.360 --> 0:50:44.799 Dr Cook? 0:50:46.080 --> 0:50:49.320 That's a very little interesting link. Thank you for sharing, Brian. 0:50:50.680 --> 0:50:53.920 Steve of Kinross was advised some time ago now that 0:50:54.040 --> 0:50:58.200 it took his daughter seven years to be able to 0:50:58.239 --> 0:51:03.279 get grand or assessed and cost six thousand dollars up 0:51:03.320 --> 0:51:09.040 front six grand seven years going to get the grand 0:51:09.160 --> 0:51:12.200 daughter assessed. It's a long wait, isn't it. These are 0:51:12.239 --> 0:51:17.960 really important appointments in the development of a child's life 0:51:19.560 --> 0:51:22.839 because they might be trying to get disappointment at age four, five, six, 0:51:22.960 --> 0:51:28.040 seven and These are really crucial years as they're putting 0:51:28.080 --> 0:51:34.759 in the groundwork of their lives. So hopefully with an 0:51:34.760 --> 0:51:38.560 extra sixty five odd specialist GPS being able to provide 0:51:38.600 --> 0:51:43.799 an assessment or a diagnosis for eighty HD, it will help. 0:51:45.880 --> 0:51:48.000 Jeffer forest Field had to wait over twelve months for 0:51:48.080 --> 0:51:52.839 our son to be diagnosed for ADHD, Olie. How could 0:51:52.880 --> 0:51:54.880 the situation be left by the Department of Health for 0:51:55.000 --> 0:51:58.480 so long? Now there is such a shortage of specialist 0:51:58.600 --> 0:52:03.960 GPS allowed them to gourge enormously again, will the prices 0:52:04.000 --> 0:52:07.359 come down? Brian in Greenwood says it's a good move 0:52:07.400 --> 0:52:11.440 for GPS to cover ADHD. It's ridiculous to have to 0:52:11.480 --> 0:52:14.040 see a pediatrician to get a new prescription for a 0:52:14.120 --> 0:52:19.600 child already diagnosed. It's not like their ADHD just goes away. 0:52:20.800 --> 0:52:25.879 As for diagnosing it, if the GPS are trained right, well, 0:52:25.960 --> 0:52:30.520 then why nots and the first appointment over eight hundred bucks? 0:52:31.400 --> 0:52:34.800 He's the ADHD epidemic unique to Australia or is this 0:52:34.920 --> 0:52:39.040 becoming a worldwide phenomena. It does appear as though you 0:52:39.120 --> 0:52:41.279 hear about more and more people who have been diagnosed 0:52:41.280 --> 0:52:44.719 with ADHD, and not just children. A one double three 0:52:45.400 --> 0:52:47.680 eight eighty two. If you'd like to join the conversation, 0:52:48.920 --> 0:52:59.879 I would love to hear your voice. Twenty six after two. 0:53:01.719 --> 0:53:06.200 John Kerry, the Lands Minister, has been asked about the 0:53:06.360 --> 0:53:10.319 children's hospice in Nedlands during question time just a short 0:53:11.400 --> 0:53:15.839 time ago. He referred to an interview that I did 0:53:15.920 --> 0:53:21.160 with the City of Nedlands Mayor Fiona Argyle and he 0:53:21.440 --> 0:53:26.840 has not missed. The Honorable Mayor Fiona Argyle. 0:53:27.680 --> 0:53:32.759 I agree with the condemnation by In Campbell of the 0:53:32.880 --> 0:53:36.440 Nedlands Council and I have to say this, never have 0:53:36.600 --> 0:53:41.000 I seen a council conduct themselves with so little integrity. 0:53:41.719 --> 0:53:46.640 Are all common sense into such an important project? And 0:53:46.800 --> 0:53:51.000 if you have not heard the interview by Oli Peterson 0:53:51.040 --> 0:53:53.560 on six PR and his interview of the mayor, then 0:53:53.600 --> 0:53:58.040 I would encourage you because it is diabolically one of 0:53:58.120 --> 0:54:02.319 the worst responses or public responses I've seen of an 0:54:02.320 --> 0:54:05.600 elected official on such a serious matter. And I do 0:54:05.760 --> 0:54:10.279 want to say this Mayor Fiona Argol talked about and 0:54:10.800 --> 0:54:14.439 this is about a hospice, not a community fair. She said, 0:54:15.520 --> 0:54:17.960 the Mayal dog is going to come in. Hopefully we 0:54:18.080 --> 0:54:20.759 can get invited to the opening. I'm going to deflee 0:54:20.920 --> 0:54:22.040 him and wash him. 0:54:22.600 --> 0:54:24.920 Now, just how. 0:54:24.960 --> 0:54:28.400 Flippant about a hospice. And this is why I bring 0:54:28.520 --> 0:54:32.200 this question. The mayor should be condemned. If she had 0:54:32.239 --> 0:54:37.000 any honor integrity, she would resign her conduct and the 0:54:37.120 --> 0:54:44.480 conduct of that council for this whole process has been bizarre, outrageous, 0:54:45.040 --> 0:54:49.200 but ultimately a demonstration of their integrity that they did 0:54:49.280 --> 0:54:54.120 not approach this seriously with what the outcome was intended. 0:54:55.880 --> 0:55:00.960 There is the Lands Minister John Carey be indicating that 0:55:01.080 --> 0:55:05.240 Fyoda Argall, the Mayor of Nedlands, should resign one double 0:55:05.320 --> 0:55:08.000 three p. Eight eighty two. That was in question Time 0:55:10.160 --> 0:55:13.640 a little bit earlier. Today, Jodie reckons it seems that 0:55:13.880 --> 0:55:16.120 something like fifty or sixty percent of parents are now 0:55:16.200 --> 0:55:20.200 assuming their child has got something wrong with them. They're 0:55:20.239 --> 0:55:23.400 determined to find out what it is, rather than just 0:55:23.480 --> 0:55:27.759 accepting that some kids actually focus better than others, and 0:55:27.920 --> 0:55:30.840 that some do better in school than others than some 0:55:32.040 --> 0:55:35.359 go off and do trades or someone else is good 0:55:35.400 --> 0:55:39.040 at academic work. It is an absolute pile of rubbish 0:55:39.080 --> 0:55:42.759 oie that all of these children need assessing ford HD. 0:55:43.000 --> 0:55:46.520 For goodness sake, people need to let their kids be kids. 0:55:48.800 --> 0:55:55.719 George wonders if since the COVID years there have been 0:55:55.800 --> 0:56:00.359 more people who have been diagnosed with adhds, So maybe 0:56:00.400 --> 0:56:06.320 you got George and Jodia touching on. There is a 0:56:06.360 --> 0:56:10.520 little bit of pressure from mum and dad that if 0:56:10.560 --> 0:56:13.360 you sound on your daughter struggles to concentrate a little, 0:56:14.360 --> 0:56:16.680 that if you sound all, your daughter is maybe not 0:56:16.760 --> 0:56:18.799 as bright as the person that they might sit next 0:56:18.840 --> 0:56:23.120 to in class. That you want to know what's wrong. 0:56:25.120 --> 0:56:28.640 Maybe just maybe that's who your son of your daughter 0:56:28.880 --> 0:56:32.000 is well one double three I do at E two 0:56:32.040 --> 0:56:34.560 if you'd like to have your say. Sherry Lee Biggs, 0:56:34.880 --> 0:56:38.000 how are we looking out there? Good afternoon, Ollie. 0:56:38.239 --> 0:56:41.160 It is looking stunning and we have a string of 0:56:41.360 --> 0:56:43.480 days like this ahead of us now. It was pretty 0:56:43.560 --> 0:56:46.160 chilly this morning, even cooler than it was yesterday. It 0:56:46.239 --> 0:56:48.279 got down to four point two if you were in 0:56:48.719 --> 0:56:51.960 or around Gandercotta got down to two point three degrees, 0:56:52.640 --> 0:56:57.080 so we are nearing those almost freezing points. Given that 0:56:57.120 --> 0:56:59.440 we're heading, we're very close to July, which is the 0:56:59.520 --> 0:57:02.840 coldest month of the year for us here in Perth. 0:57:03.520 --> 0:57:05.920 Beautiful days ahead, nice and sunny. We're heading for a 0:57:06.000 --> 0:57:08.759 top of twenty tomorrow, a couple of days of twenty one, 0:57:09.280 --> 0:57:12.719 and it looks like that cold front has pushed back 0:57:12.760 --> 0:57:15.600 a little bit, so we do have a nice clear weekend, 0:57:16.040 --> 0:57:19.560 a possible shower on Monday, and then we'll see have 0:57:19.680 --> 0:57:22.560 quite a wet day midweek next week, possibly up to 0:57:22.720 --> 0:57:25.520 fifteen millimeters in perfect is a little too early to 0:57:25.640 --> 0:57:29.480 tell exactly how much we can expect, but we'll keep 0:57:29.520 --> 0:57:32.320 a close eye on that system. But it means we 0:57:32.400 --> 0:57:36.440 won't make our July rainfall June rainfall. Sorry as we 0:57:36.560 --> 0:57:39.600 get into July, but we are pretty close, so it's 0:57:39.640 --> 0:57:40.800 not too bad this year. 0:57:40.880 --> 0:57:43.200 Ely good stuff, Shery Lee. We'll see you at four 0:57:43.320 --> 0:57:45.680 and six o'clock, Thank you very much. Nine News Weather 0:57:45.760 --> 0:57:49.040 presenter Sherry Lee big Zileen does not often agree with 0:57:49.200 --> 0:57:53.040 John Carey, but in this instance it's hard to argue 0:57:53.160 --> 0:57:56.920 with him regarding the conduct of the Netherlands Council and 0:57:57.120 --> 0:58:00.440 Mayor Fiona our goal, particularly in that conversation she had 0:58:00.520 --> 0:58:04.680 with you. Good to see his laser intensity focused positively 0:58:04.800 --> 0:58:09.040 to support the hospice. But Richard says, well, what's John 0:58:09.080 --> 0:58:11.480 Kerrey going to do about it? He's the minister, not 0:58:11.560 --> 0:58:17.960 a commentator. He is all talk one double three, eight 0:58:17.960 --> 0:58:20.680 to eighty two. If you want to talk to Yuko Ostowage. 0:58:20.760 --> 0:58:23.560 Mister main Roads has arrived in the building and he's 0:58:23.560 --> 0:58:25.960 about the voter into the studios to answer any and 0:58:26.160 --> 0:58:31.480 all of your questions about Perth's main roads network. Ac 0:58:31.840 --> 0:58:35.200 DC is coming back to Perth later this year, and 0:58:35.600 --> 0:58:39.400 yerko Ostoage, mister main Roads, you're up and about your. 0:58:39.400 --> 0:58:42.400 Pumps, absolutely mate. And that song, mate, it's just I 0:58:42.480 --> 0:58:44.520 don't know, it just energizes me. As soon as I 0:58:44.600 --> 0:58:46.600 hear it. I'm like, yeah, it's go time with Dollie. 0:58:46.680 --> 0:58:49.720 It is go time. Indeed, let's go to Rockingham because 0:58:49.800 --> 0:58:51.920 Craig needs a bit of help. He's first and foremost. 0:58:52.080 --> 0:58:57.960 Good afternoon, Good afternoon, Jerko. I've got a question for you. 0:58:58.320 --> 0:59:03.800 The Myrie intersection of Normal Road crossing over Marmion Street. 0:59:05.360 --> 0:59:09.920 They've made it into a designated right hand turn on 0:59:10.320 --> 0:59:13.080 both sides entering the intersection, and I'm wondering what the 0:59:13.160 --> 0:59:17.600 reasoning was because it's caused more traffic jams there now 0:59:17.680 --> 0:59:20.800 than what there ever was, and it's just it seems 0:59:20.840 --> 0:59:23.520 to be a crazy decision. Any idea why they did that? 0:59:24.080 --> 0:59:25.640 Sorry, what direction are you going? 0:59:25.920 --> 0:59:32.320 You said, So you're on on Norma crossing over Marmion Street. 0:59:32.960 --> 0:59:36.920 So whether you're going north or south, each heading each way, 0:59:37.000 --> 0:59:40.240 there's a designated right and turn only lane. 0:59:40.320 --> 0:59:42.080 Now, yeah, not uncommon. 0:59:42.640 --> 0:59:45.080 When they're left open as it was so previously you 0:59:45.120 --> 0:59:46.880 would have had the left lane where you can go 0:59:46.920 --> 0:59:48.600 through and left, and the right lane where you can 0:59:48.640 --> 0:59:51.560 go through and right. What you've just described is that 0:59:51.800 --> 0:59:54.040 through is taken away from the right turn or the 0:59:54.160 --> 0:59:57.600 median lane. There are quite a lot of benefits to that. 0:59:58.000 --> 1:00:01.280 It means that people know what lane in what direction 1:00:01.440 --> 1:00:06.200 that car is going to take, obviously being constricted or restricted. 1:00:05.760 --> 1:00:06.600 To the right turn. 1:00:06.960 --> 1:00:10.360 It also allows for additional sight lines, so when the 1:00:10.600 --> 1:00:14.560 northbound and southbound person on normal road is actually approaching 1:00:14.600 --> 1:00:17.720 each other, they actually know that both of those vehicles 1:00:17.720 --> 1:00:20.040 are going to turn right. Therefore they only have to 1:00:20.120 --> 1:00:23.439 give way to one stream of oncoming traffic, so there's 1:00:23.440 --> 1:00:27.200 safety gains there. One small disk benefit might be that 1:00:27.360 --> 1:00:31.160 if a pedestrian is crossing north or north south on 1:00:31.320 --> 1:00:34.360 either the east or west side, there might be a 1:00:34.560 --> 1:00:38.560 slight delay in releasing that turning traffic. That's generally around 1:00:38.600 --> 1:00:41.000 three to six seconds, but there's certainly a lot of 1:00:41.040 --> 1:00:43.200 gains in terms of efficiency and safety. 1:00:43.840 --> 1:00:46.160 Thank you Craig for you call. Let's head to kilm 1:00:46.240 --> 1:00:47.120 Scott Barry. 1:00:47.280 --> 1:00:50.520 Good afternoon to you, Good afternoons. 1:00:51.560 --> 1:00:55.320 I was just asked him for a query on the 1:00:55.520 --> 1:01:04.600 junction at Armadale, the Safewash Highway Albany Highway junction there 1:01:05.400 --> 1:01:09.560 on it gets cluttered with all these road trains that 1:01:09.800 --> 1:01:13.920 go through there. I thought the road trains weren't allowed 1:01:13.960 --> 1:01:19.560 in the in the metro area. They go down there 1:01:19.640 --> 1:01:24.960 and they're they're fully loaded, so they struggle to take 1:01:25.040 --> 1:01:26.760 off at the traffic lights and there's a bit of 1:01:26.800 --> 1:01:30.680 an incline where they go and it's you're lucky to 1:01:30.720 --> 1:01:31.640 get one of them over. 1:01:33.320 --> 1:01:33.520 Yeah. 1:01:33.560 --> 1:01:36.280 Look, I definitely appreciate. So there's a lot to unpack there. 1:01:36.920 --> 1:01:40.760 The first one being are they allowed, Yes, they are larger, 1:01:40.920 --> 1:01:43.960 larger vehicles or restricted access vehicles ravs. 1:01:44.120 --> 1:01:47.120 Are allowed on you'd pick up on them. 1:01:47.720 --> 1:01:51.520 They are allowed on certain parts of the network, and yes, 1:01:51.600 --> 1:01:54.640 you're dead right. They're they're fully ladened and they are 1:01:54.840 --> 1:01:59.040 very slow to accelerate. Tonkin Highway Extension will go some 1:01:59.240 --> 1:02:02.560 way to alleviating and moving some of those heavy movements 1:02:03.200 --> 1:02:06.200 from the intersection, but they are allowed to use it. 1:02:06.360 --> 1:02:10.080 But notwithstanding, they are permitted. Also, you know, the tonnage 1:02:10.800 --> 1:02:13.479 dependent on number of axles, et cetera. But I won't 1:02:13.520 --> 1:02:15.240 geek out on that too much. 1:02:15.320 --> 1:02:16.880 You geek out as much as you want. I love 1:02:16.920 --> 1:02:17.680 it when you geek out. 1:02:18.000 --> 1:02:19.880 There's a whole mapping system. I'm going to bring them 1:02:19.920 --> 1:02:21.040 in for listeners. 1:02:21.760 --> 1:02:23.440 You won't be able to see it, but a loossary 1:02:23.600 --> 1:02:26.800 of bringing the heavy vehicle configurations. 1:02:27.640 --> 1:02:29.960 There are so many it's just mind boggling. 1:02:30.000 --> 1:02:31.920 But I'm sure if you Google or just put it 1:02:31.960 --> 1:02:35.320 in your web browser heavy vehicle's main roads WA combinations, 1:02:35.760 --> 1:02:37.640 you should get a nice page of them. But I'll 1:02:37.640 --> 1:02:40.880 definitely bring them in for OLI next segment. You should 1:02:40.920 --> 1:02:44.080 set up a website yu co dot com. I was 1:02:44.120 --> 1:02:47.480 got to say, it's the main roads we just set up. 1:02:47.520 --> 1:02:49.520 You just set up here on the website with all this, 1:02:49.640 --> 1:02:52.520 you know, the glossary, the terms. You can go and 1:02:52.560 --> 1:02:55.080 get yourself a wheel that you know, measuring wheel, all 1:02:55.120 --> 1:02:55.760 those things. 1:02:55.600 --> 1:02:57.960 Which is hats I don't know, oli it it sounds 1:02:58.000 --> 1:03:01.120 like a seguey to Friday afternoon. You know, somewhere either 1:03:01.200 --> 1:03:03.960 before or after the pub talk. Maybe I don't know, 1:03:04.080 --> 1:03:05.200 yaking with Yerko. 1:03:05.160 --> 1:03:08.000 Yakking with Yurko. If Nick's ever away for the pub test, 1:03:08.080 --> 1:03:09.840 we could bring in yaking with Yuko. It's not a 1:03:09.880 --> 1:03:10.400 bad idea. 1:03:10.440 --> 1:03:11.280 It sounds like a plan. 1:03:11.400 --> 1:03:13.280 Now, John wanted to know when you were last here 1:03:13.320 --> 1:03:16.120 whether there were any plans in the pipeline to upgrade 1:03:16.200 --> 1:03:19.600 the intersection of welsh Pool Road East and Lewis Road. 1:03:19.760 --> 1:03:21.439 What can you tell John about this one, Yuko? 1:03:21.680 --> 1:03:24.600 Yeah, the City of Kalamanda has this intersection covered John, 1:03:24.760 --> 1:03:27.360 as they are progressing with detailed design for a roundabout 1:03:27.400 --> 1:03:31.480 in twenty twenty five twenty six, with anticipated service relocations 1:03:31.560 --> 1:03:34.480 in twenty six twenty seven and then construction of the 1:03:34.520 --> 1:03:36.880 roundabout in twenty seven twenty eight. 1:03:37.000 --> 1:03:38.680 But that is subject to funding. 1:03:39.000 --> 1:03:41.080 Let's head to Monster get a rick. 1:03:42.560 --> 1:03:43.320 Hey are you going? 1:03:43.440 --> 1:03:45.240 We good? Rekak and Yuko help you. 1:03:47.280 --> 1:03:51.360 I've got a couple of things, just wondering if if 1:03:51.440 --> 1:03:55.600 there's any expected start date to the Rally Road extension. 1:03:57.000 --> 1:03:58.840 Quanana Freeway to Rockingham. 1:03:58.520 --> 1:04:01.760 Road to start in twenty six twenty. 1:04:01.560 --> 1:04:03.680 Seven, twenty seven. 1:04:03.800 --> 1:04:04.880 All right, yeah, cool? 1:04:05.120 --> 1:04:10.920 And is there anything in the pipeline to upgrade Russell 1:04:11.000 --> 1:04:15.720 Road to a dual carriageway from Hammond Road to Rockingham Road. 1:04:16.560 --> 1:04:19.919 Well, it's that precincts, It's yeah. 1:04:20.400 --> 1:04:22.520 I can't. I just can't put my finger on exactly 1:04:22.560 --> 1:04:24.440 what's happening there. I'd need to sit down with. 1:04:24.480 --> 1:04:26.000 The team and go through it and have a bit 1:04:26.080 --> 1:04:28.680 more of a look at the map. I know there 1:04:28.680 --> 1:04:31.680 are LGA roads, but for some reason, I think it 1:04:31.760 --> 1:04:33.520 was connected with some heavy vehicle movements. 1:04:33.560 --> 1:04:35.120 But let me do some homework on that one. 1:04:35.200 --> 1:04:37.240 We'll come back to you Rick on that. Jody called 1:04:37.320 --> 1:04:39.360 in a couple of weeks ago about congestion at the 1:04:39.400 --> 1:04:42.560 intersection of Nicholson Road and Rally Road. Do you council 1:04:42.640 --> 1:04:44.440 have any plans to upgrade this one? 1:04:44.680 --> 1:04:48.160 UK? Yes, Ollie. Good news for Jody and or users 1:04:48.240 --> 1:04:49.280 of these intersections. 1:04:49.600 --> 1:04:51.680 As a City of Armadel, in conjunction with the City 1:04:51.720 --> 1:04:55.440 of Serpentine Jaredale, have an approved twenty stage sorry a 1:04:55.600 --> 1:04:57.320 stage black spot project. 1:04:57.240 --> 1:04:59.880 To convert the existing t junctions to a roundabout. 1:05:00.400 --> 1:05:04.120 The project is currently at the eighty fifth percent design stage, 1:05:04.200 --> 1:05:07.880 with construction set to commit twenty five twenty six, So 1:05:08.040 --> 1:05:10.200 listeners keep an eye out for the upcoming works or 1:05:10.240 --> 1:05:12.760 reach out to Serpentine Jaredale for an update. 1:05:12.960 --> 1:05:16.760 Yes, and some good pictures included here where obviously things 1:05:16.800 --> 1:05:18.280 are going to happen here. 1:05:19.040 --> 1:05:20.800 Yeah, a bit of a stagger just to show you 1:05:20.880 --> 1:05:23.200 the actual intersection layout in case you wanted to pick 1:05:23.280 --> 1:05:25.680 up on those staggered teas. Maybe another one for I 1:05:25.720 --> 1:05:27.160 don't know, Yuko dot com dot au. 1:05:27.240 --> 1:05:30.280 It's a good idea. Steve's in thorn Lee, Good afternoon. 1:05:31.640 --> 1:05:32.280 How going guys? 1:05:32.320 --> 1:05:32.919 We good mate. 1:05:33.480 --> 1:05:35.360 I range a couple of things. 1:05:35.600 --> 1:05:39.240 I range it a month ago regarding Thornley Am an 1:05:39.280 --> 1:05:41.440 amount of traffic on it and how dangerous it. 1:05:41.560 --> 1:05:43.200 Is outside our house. 1:05:43.280 --> 1:05:46.800 We're opposite the park and once a fortnite there's an 1:05:46.840 --> 1:05:50.600 excellent and every couple of days there's so many near missers. 1:05:50.880 --> 1:05:53.400 It's got amount of traffic coming off Timwick Link into 1:05:53.480 --> 1:05:56.800 firmly now. I was told someone would contact me, but 1:05:57.120 --> 1:05:57.920 never unfortually, no. 1:05:57.920 --> 1:06:02.160 One ever contacted me. So that's one thing. And second 1:06:02.440 --> 1:06:05.760 I've got a place down down south in aunt Barker 1:06:06.240 --> 1:06:10.640 and the road Colviny Highway is of disgrace. It's so dangerous. 1:06:10.800 --> 1:06:13.640 I can understand why so many people will get killed on. 1:06:13.680 --> 1:06:17.080 That road because it's you know, there's potholes and there's. 1:06:18.560 --> 1:06:24.480 You know, depressions where the trucks have made the you 1:06:24.560 --> 1:06:26.840 know resources in the car. 1:06:28.800 --> 1:06:33.480 Yeah, look, Steve, we did investigate Thorn they have some 1:06:33.640 --> 1:06:36.320 time ago. This is ringing a bell. I'm not sure 1:06:36.360 --> 1:06:38.520 if you're you own a business and you reverse a 1:06:38.560 --> 1:06:41.200 trailer off Thorn the avenue and that's creating the issue 1:06:41.240 --> 1:06:44.320 because I could understand that that is quite difficult. I 1:06:44.440 --> 1:06:46.960 will reiterate, and I believe the main roads if even 1:06:46.960 --> 1:06:49.040 if it's not you, the main roads advice was at 1:06:49.120 --> 1:06:52.320 the time. You know, I only do it when safe 1:06:52.320 --> 1:06:54.920 to do so. But also that's under council's care and control. 1:06:55.640 --> 1:06:58.800 In relation to those potholes. Look, it happens every year 1:06:58.840 --> 1:07:01.080 when you know, you get a couple of heavy downpaurs, 1:07:01.800 --> 1:07:04.000 you know, the larger vehicles, they start to you know, 1:07:04.440 --> 1:07:05.760 start to compact that road. 1:07:05.920 --> 1:07:07.600 Yeap Olie's laughing at me. 1:07:07.680 --> 1:07:08.920 Well, no, I'm not just that there's been lots of 1:07:08.960 --> 1:07:11.000 potholes the last weeks. We've had so much rain and 1:07:11.040 --> 1:07:11.760 that's what happens. 1:07:12.040 --> 1:07:14.160 The beach then patting the sand, the water comes to 1:07:14.240 --> 1:07:16.400 the surface, it does that to the road. It goes 1:07:16.440 --> 1:07:19.640 in between you know, the compacted limestone or whatever's underneath 1:07:19.920 --> 1:07:22.800 and the actual seal itself, and it lives and as 1:07:23.120 --> 1:07:25.600 you know, the pothole gets bigger. I again, give us 1:07:25.640 --> 1:07:27.960 as much information as you can in terms of the 1:07:28.040 --> 1:07:31.000 road sections, crossroads where you know the worst sections are. 1:07:31.280 --> 1:07:34.120 Will try and prioritize those. Give us a call anytime 1:07:34.640 --> 1:07:37.440 you know twenty four seven one three one three eight, go. 1:07:37.520 --> 1:07:39.320 On your Steve. Good to hear from you there, mate, Jen. 1:07:39.400 --> 1:07:40.680 We'll get to you next if you want to talk 1:07:40.720 --> 1:07:43.760 to Yuko ostowitche mister main roads one double three at 1:07:44.120 --> 1:07:49.160 two with the yuko Ostowage today, Jen, Good afternoon. 1:07:49.760 --> 1:07:50.760 Good afternoon allie. 1:07:51.240 --> 1:07:52.280 How can Yuko help you? 1:07:53.760 --> 1:07:54.880 The lights on. 1:07:55.280 --> 1:08:02.480 Marmin and Rome Road, Melville, coming Fromon going towards through Mantle, 1:08:02.720 --> 1:08:06.920 there's always been an arrow there to turn right, but 1:08:09.080 --> 1:08:11.600 when there's no traffic coming, the arrow has gone off 1:08:11.680 --> 1:08:14.240 so that you can make a right turn. And now 1:08:14.320 --> 1:08:17.439 the arrow isn't going off even at eight o'clock, nine 1:08:17.479 --> 1:08:18.240 o'clock at night. 1:08:20.080 --> 1:08:24.559 Well, definitely sounds like a fault that arrow coming from 1:08:24.720 --> 1:08:28.200 a Rome Road, But that'll generally be held on red 1:08:28.360 --> 1:08:31.240 for a short period of time to enable pedestrians to cross. 1:08:32.560 --> 1:08:34.200 It might be the old chewing gum in the in 1:08:34.280 --> 1:08:36.680 the pedestrian button. Not sure, but let's get a crew 1:08:36.720 --> 1:08:37.600 down there to have a look at it. 1:08:37.680 --> 1:08:39.960 Good on your Jan, you coll provide an update in 1:08:40.000 --> 1:08:42.160 a couple of weeks. And when you see things like that, 1:08:42.320 --> 1:08:45.000 you know red arrow lights that don't change. Cole Main 1:08:45.080 --> 1:08:47.439 Roads twenty four seven one eight one three eight to 1:08:47.520 --> 1:08:50.120 report those faults. But Jan Yuko will have an answer 1:08:50.160 --> 1:08:52.639 for you in two weeks. Let's sad to KEILM Scott Hi. 1:08:52.680 --> 1:08:55.640 David Oi Oi, ohyko? 1:08:55.920 --> 1:08:57.880 Are we we good? Mate? How can you go help you? 1:09:01.160 --> 1:09:05.240 North north of say the airport, going north up north 1:09:05.360 --> 1:09:09.320 or south on Tonkin Highway? All the street lighting is 1:09:09.360 --> 1:09:10.200 that main roads? 1:09:10.920 --> 1:09:11.080 Yes? 1:09:12.560 --> 1:09:15.599 Yes? Why is it that? For the last eighteen months 1:09:15.640 --> 1:09:20.320 there's like one two kilometer stretchers of lights. It just 1:09:20.560 --> 1:09:21.040 don't work. 1:09:21.360 --> 1:09:23.040 This is coming up regularly at the moment on the 1:09:23.120 --> 1:09:24.880 main roads networking, Okay, what's going on? 1:09:26.960 --> 1:09:30.680 It's it's I just don't have a solution and if 1:09:30.720 --> 1:09:33.680 anyone does, please let us know. We've got covert surveillance 1:09:33.720 --> 1:09:37.599 out there. We've reached out to West Australia Police. It's 1:09:37.760 --> 1:09:40.439 very hard to basically catch these people that are. 1:09:40.360 --> 1:09:40.880 Still the theft. 1:09:41.080 --> 1:09:42.200 Still there, still the theft. 1:09:42.280 --> 1:09:44.519 It's just pinching it all the time everywhere. 1:09:44.880 --> 1:09:48.280 Rip open a bit, you know, I'm not sure, tied off. 1:09:48.400 --> 1:09:49.760 I don't know how they do it, pull it through, 1:09:50.320 --> 1:09:53.000 but somehow they're getting the copper and you know they're 1:09:53.040 --> 1:09:53.360 selling it. 1:09:53.600 --> 1:09:57.719 It's obviously profitable. But yeah, you can imagine the backlog big. 1:09:57.600 --> 1:10:01.080 Time, not only new works but existing work where you know, 1:10:01.400 --> 1:10:04.760 unfortunately listeners and road users they just don't have that 1:10:05.040 --> 1:10:06.800 added level of safety of the street lighting. 1:10:07.360 --> 1:10:08.000 Sorry, David. 1:10:08.360 --> 1:10:10.720 Unfortunately we're hearing it more and more. Gabby called up 1:10:10.800 --> 1:10:12.080 last time you were here for an update on the 1:10:12.160 --> 1:10:12.960 Orange Highway. 1:10:13.280 --> 1:10:14.080 What can you tell them? 1:10:14.479 --> 1:10:17.560 Yeah, I got this one wrong, Gabby. I bundled it 1:10:17.640 --> 1:10:21.640 into the Gray Eastern Highway bypass project. So to clarify it, 1:10:21.920 --> 1:10:25.200 the Orange Route is actually known as the East Link Project, 1:10:25.400 --> 1:10:27.920 next to each other, but completely different names. It's a 1:10:27.960 --> 1:10:30.120 planned eighty kilometer stretch of road that will run from 1:10:30.120 --> 1:10:33.760 Read Highway through to northm update is. Over the past 1:10:33.800 --> 1:10:36.160 few years we've undertaken a large amount of planning and 1:10:36.240 --> 1:10:41.120 development for the project, including community and stakeholder engagement. The 1:10:41.200 --> 1:10:44.479 next steps include finalizing the design and initiating a land 1:10:44.520 --> 1:10:47.320 protection process for the land required outside of the existing 1:10:47.400 --> 1:10:50.160 road reserve, and then finally creating a business case for 1:10:50.240 --> 1:10:51.799 funding to enable construction. 1:10:51.960 --> 1:10:53.479 All right, little way to go in that one? 1:10:53.560 --> 1:10:57.560 Hey, Mark, nice, Aman James, Sorry. 1:10:57.400 --> 1:10:59.040 We're good Mark, How can you co help you? 1:11:00.280 --> 1:11:03.360 Okay, I'm the Kanana Freeway heading into the city. The 1:11:03.439 --> 1:11:07.680 illuminated lights over the freeway, there's a little sign that 1:11:07.800 --> 1:11:10.760 says when blank, you can travel at eighty kilometers an out. 1:11:11.720 --> 1:11:13.880 But the same ones on the Mitchell freewa are heading 1:11:13.920 --> 1:11:17.200 to the city say that when blank you can trouble. 1:11:16.960 --> 1:11:18.800 One hundred kilometers in how And it's gonny to know 1:11:18.920 --> 1:11:20.080 what was the difference. 1:11:19.880 --> 1:11:21.960 Because when the northern suburbs are bit of drivers than 1:11:22.000 --> 1:11:23.959 people in the southern suburbs, isn't it Yerko. 1:11:25.280 --> 1:11:27.160 I'm just not even going there, but. 1:11:29.040 --> 1:11:31.360 Listeners, maybe once I get off air you can just 1:11:31.479 --> 1:11:35.760 go to town on that statement. But my understanding is 1:11:36.120 --> 1:11:40.160 there's actually a breakdown lane for motorists coming southbound. 1:11:40.240 --> 1:11:42.880 So Mitchell Freeway has a breakdown lane. 1:11:44.040 --> 1:11:47.000 We don't actually have that for northbound so we kept 1:11:47.040 --> 1:11:50.439 it at eighty kilometers right, So basically a design constraint. 1:11:50.680 --> 1:11:52.439 That's why there's a lot of extra signage for those 1:11:52.479 --> 1:11:57.679 emergency stopping bays and obviously the lums, the lane use 1:11:57.840 --> 1:12:00.800 management signs that are overhead. That's I threw it out there. 1:12:00.880 --> 1:12:03.080 We're creating a list for you. 1:12:03.160 --> 1:12:03.800 I don't like it. 1:12:03.880 --> 1:12:04.640 I can't wait to see it. 1:12:04.680 --> 1:12:08.160 It's for Christmas, when every road project in w A 1:12:08.240 --> 1:12:08.840 will be finished. 1:12:08.960 --> 1:12:10.320 Yes, but I'm not owning the year. 1:12:11.640 --> 1:12:15.800 So in all seriousness, that's my understanding in terms of 1:12:15.880 --> 1:12:19.000 that eighty but well spotted. I don't think there's many 1:12:19.120 --> 1:12:22.800 motorists that would have actually, you know, actually seen that. 1:12:22.960 --> 1:12:26.280 That's subtle difference. Very good, Mark, Very good, Mark. 1:12:26.400 --> 1:12:28.640 Keep your wits about you now. Jackson wanted to know 1:12:28.720 --> 1:12:30.840 whether you've got any plans to upgrade the intersection of 1:12:30.880 --> 1:12:33.160 Thomas Road and Johnson Street in Quanana last time you 1:12:33.240 --> 1:12:33.519 were here. 1:12:34.160 --> 1:12:37.040 No plans to upgrade, Jackson, but the delays you experienced 1:12:37.120 --> 1:12:41.000 may have been due to detective faults at the nearby 1:12:41.080 --> 1:12:45.400 Quanana Freeway and Thomas Road interchange. Johnson Street signals are 1:12:45.479 --> 1:12:49.360 coordinated with the interchange signals during peak periods so that faults, 1:12:49.400 --> 1:12:53.160 so faults at one location can impact the performance of 1:12:53.280 --> 1:12:55.520 another because of that miscommunication. 1:12:56.000 --> 1:12:58.400 Vicki's in q Dale, Good afternoon. How can you co 1:12:58.600 --> 1:12:58.960 help you? 1:13:00.680 --> 1:13:04.519 Yes, I live on Right Street between QO Young Road 1:13:05.000 --> 1:13:08.920 and Armadale Roads. There's a roundabout on each of those roads, 1:13:09.479 --> 1:13:12.720 but the traffic still flies along there like even a 1:13:12.880 --> 1:13:14.680 school bus. The other day, I reckon it must have 1:13:14.680 --> 1:13:18.000 been going eighty ks an hour, you know. So I'm 1:13:18.080 --> 1:13:22.200 just wondering if there's any speed bumps or anything that 1:13:22.960 --> 1:13:24.639 like that that may be put into space. 1:13:25.520 --> 1:13:28.000 Yeah, great question, Vicky, and Ali's going to love it 1:13:28.000 --> 1:13:30.240 because I'm going to geek out again those speed bumps 1:13:30.320 --> 1:13:32.640 or as we call them now, raise safety platforms. 1:13:33.400 --> 1:13:36.280 Peace Council Roads Council need to initiate it. 1:13:36.400 --> 1:13:38.519 But the great news is Main Roads has something called 1:13:38.520 --> 1:13:42.519 the Low Cost Urban Road Safety Program. Councils like to 1:13:42.720 --> 1:13:46.559 abbrevia that abbreviate that to LCURSP. It's fully funded by 1:13:46.680 --> 1:13:49.920 Main Roads. Local government have to undertake the initial initial 1:13:49.960 --> 1:13:54.040 community consultation and then pre and post measurements to see 1:13:54.040 --> 1:13:54.640 if speeds have. 1:13:54.680 --> 1:13:56.280 Been reduction reduced. 1:13:56.280 --> 1:13:58.960 Sorry, but one hundred percent funded by Main Roads, So 1:13:59.080 --> 1:14:01.439 Vicky get on to the City of Belmont and see 1:14:01.479 --> 1:14:03.960 if they've got any plans to use the low cost 1:14:04.040 --> 1:14:05.320 urban road safety program like that. 1:14:05.400 --> 1:14:07.960 Any roadworks we need to know about this fortnite, Yuko. 1:14:07.960 --> 1:14:10.519 They're sure is Oli night works at the intersection of 1:14:10.600 --> 1:14:14.120 Canning Highway and Queen Victoria Street are continuing with lane 1:14:14.160 --> 1:14:16.880 closures and reduce speeds in place between eight pm and 1:14:16.960 --> 1:14:19.120 five am until next Monday. 1:14:18.960 --> 1:14:19.800 Thirtieth of June. 1:14:20.120 --> 1:14:23.120 Tomorrow night, Mitchell Freeway southbound will be closed between Warwick 1:14:23.200 --> 1:14:26.280 Road and Read Highway from nine pm to four am. 1:14:26.680 --> 1:14:29.479 Warwick Road on ramp to Mitchell Southbound will also be 1:14:29.600 --> 1:14:31.439 closed from eight pm to four am. 1:14:31.880 --> 1:14:32.639 During the closure. 1:14:32.720 --> 1:14:35.200 Motorists can use Warwick Road to access Marmi and Avenue 1:14:35.280 --> 1:14:38.200 or Erindale Road to continue south and then reconnect with 1:14:38.240 --> 1:14:43.160 the Mitchell Freeway southbound via Reed Highway. And Lastly, listeners, 1:14:43.400 --> 1:14:45.320 if you are interested in finding out more on the 1:14:45.439 --> 1:14:49.439 Tonkin Highway extension project, we still have one further community 1:14:49.520 --> 1:14:53.040 information session at the Farmers' Markets at two Preston Street 1:14:53.080 --> 1:14:55.920 in Mundajong on Saturday, the fifth of July.

We'll see in 1:15:08.520 --> 1:15:09.120 a couple of weeks. 1:15:09.280 --> 1:15:09.479 See you. 1:15:09.560 --> 1:15:13.160 Then you're listening to Perth Live with Oliver Peterson on 1:15:13.400 --> 1:15:14.479 Perth six PR. 1:15:14.920 --> 1:15:18.519 Yeah, fast approaching. At the three o'clock news, Susan Lee, 1:15:18.960 --> 1:15:24.080 the Liberal leader, has just delivered today her first big speech. 1:15:24.360 --> 1:15:27.120 She said they got smashed, absolutely smashed at the federal election. 1:15:28.479 --> 1:15:31.000 Always a good hood hit out, always a bit of 1:15:31.080 --> 1:15:35.240 fun there with yukas stowage from Main Roads. And he'll 1:15:35.240 --> 1:15:39.519 be back with us again in two weeks, so I 1:15:39.600 --> 1:15:41.640 look forward to his return. We got a duel for 1:15:41.720 --> 1:15:43.840 Feld the daye hundred bucks up for grabs in the 1:15:44.120 --> 1:15:46.960 jackpot thanks to Deffar commercial, so we'll play that before 1:15:47.080 --> 1:15:51.080 five o'clock and of course at any stage right throughout 1:15:51.080 --> 1:15:53.360 the afternoon. If you're witness and breaking news or you've 1:15:53.360 --> 1:15:55.240 heard a whisper and you want to try and win 1:15:55.280 --> 1:15:59.479 yourself ten thousand dollars for WA assets. What is your 1:15:59.560 --> 1:16:11.439 word on the streets? Steve from Canning Mills says to 1:16:11.520 --> 1:16:15.040 be honest. Oli. The federal election campaign for me featured 1:16:15.080 --> 1:16:18.719 Albow parroting over and over again about his Medicare cards, 1:16:18.800 --> 1:16:22.400 saying that's all you need. It's rubbish. Also, the Libs 1:16:22.520 --> 1:16:26.759 nuclear cost six hundred billion rubbish, all this without declaring 1:16:26.800 --> 1:16:29.439 the cost of the renewable costs. Albow won't be easy 1:16:29.880 --> 1:16:32.479 under Alban easy. Well, what's the job now. Susan Lee, 1:16:34.000 --> 1:16:38.759 the new federal opposition leader and leader of the Liberal Party, 1:16:38.880 --> 1:16:43.960 has delivered her first major address since the Liberals were 1:16:44.080 --> 1:16:48.200 absolutely smashed at the federal election. This is a little 1:16:48.280 --> 1:16:50.360 of what she had to say to the National Press 1:16:50.400 --> 1:16:51.320 Club earlier today. 1:16:52.240 --> 1:16:55.320 So let's be honest and upfront about last month's election. 1:16:55.880 --> 1:17:02.160 We didn't just lose, we got smashed, totally smashed. What 1:17:02.320 --> 1:17:05.280 we as the Liberal Party presented to the Australian people 1:17:05.840 --> 1:17:11.479 was comprehensively rejected. The scale of that defeat, its size 1:17:11.640 --> 1:17:14.880 and significance, is not lost on me nor any one 1:17:15.000 --> 1:17:19.880 of my parliamentary team sitting here today. It was devastating 1:17:19.920 --> 1:17:24.000 for our parliamentary colleagues, our party members, our supporters and 1:17:24.200 --> 1:17:28.040 voters across the country. Over two elections, the Coalition has 1:17:28.120 --> 1:17:32.679 lost thirty three seats in the House of Representatives, We've 1:17:32.760 --> 1:17:36.680 lost eight seats in the Senate. Our primary vote has 1:17:36.760 --> 1:17:40.479 fallen by more than nine percent in the House, our 1:17:40.560 --> 1:17:44.320 two party preferred vote is down more than six percent, 1:17:45.640 --> 1:17:49.800 and we hold now just two of forty three inner 1:17:49.880 --> 1:17:55.080 Metro seats and seven of forty five Outer Metro seats. 1:17:56.080 --> 1:17:59.400 These numbers reflect a deep and growing disconnect. 1:18:00.080 --> 1:18:02.240 So what do you put down to that deep and 1:18:02.360 --> 1:18:07.120 growing disconnect between the Liberal Party and the Australian electorate? 1:18:07.240 --> 1:18:12.840 One double, three eight eighty two. Before that speech, Susan 1:18:12.960 --> 1:18:16.800 Lee performed an acknowledgment of country, which signals really a 1:18:17.200 --> 1:18:21.040 different tone, doesn't it for the Liberal Party, because that 1:18:21.200 --> 1:18:24.800 breaks the position from the former leader Peter Dutton. Now, 1:18:24.880 --> 1:18:28.120 mister Dutton moved away from recognition of the Aboriginal Australian 1:18:28.120 --> 1:18:32.040 community at public events. Susan Lee has embraced a different stance, 1:18:32.520 --> 1:18:34.920 and she said at the Press Club this morning, quite 1:18:34.960 --> 1:18:37.240 I'd like to begin by acknowledging the traditional owners of 1:18:37.240 --> 1:18:40.479 the land in which we meet today, and that decision 1:18:40.560 --> 1:18:44.160 to formally recognize Indigenous people at the high profile event. 1:18:44.200 --> 1:18:49.040 It draws a stark contrast to that of Peter Dutton 1:18:50.360 --> 1:18:53.679 because the former Opposition leader had repeatedly argued that welcomed 1:18:53.720 --> 1:18:57.160 a country and acknowledgment of country ceremonies had become overdone. 1:18:57.680 --> 1:18:59.559 And he also stated he would not stand in front 1:18:59.560 --> 1:19:02.479 of the Abort Digital and Torres Strait Islander flags if 1:19:02.520 --> 1:19:06.479 he was elected as Prime minister. Now, that position obviously 1:19:06.520 --> 1:19:11.240 attracted criticism as being emblematic of a cultural war approach 1:19:11.280 --> 1:19:15.679 that intensified under his leadership. But in that address, Susan 1:19:15.760 --> 1:19:17.519 Lee in decad of the Liberal Party would undergo a 1:19:17.600 --> 1:19:22.599 period of deep reflection after the wipeout last month, one 1:19:22.680 --> 1:19:26.240 double three eight eighty two, where is the disconnection that 1:19:26.280 --> 1:19:30.280 you would identify between the Liberal Party and the Australian electorate. 1:19:30.360 --> 1:19:34.360 And it's obvious that he three seats lost, as Susan 1:19:34.439 --> 1:19:37.679 Lee said, they're eight in the Senate. The primary wrote 1:19:37.720 --> 1:19:40.240 down nine percent, the two party vote down six percents. 1:19:40.960 --> 1:19:43.280 What can the Liberal Party do to once again woo 1:19:43.920 --> 1:19:47.200 the Australian electorate. You're like the moves being made already 1:19:47.240 --> 1:19:51.120 by Susan Lee a break from Peter Dutton by performing 1:19:51.160 --> 1:19:56.519 acknowledgement of country one double three eights eighty two. The 1:19:56.640 --> 1:19:57.400 talk back number. 1:20:02.320 --> 1:20:03.240 Let's talk. 1:20:06.040 --> 1:20:09.360 Twelve after three. While you're thinking about that. Police today 1:20:09.439 --> 1:20:11.880 have announced a half a million dollar reward in a 1:20:11.920 --> 1:20:17.040 bid to locate British backpacker Peter Falconio's body. The Northern 1:20:17.160 --> 1:20:20.680 Territory Police announced that this morning the reward for new 1:20:20.760 --> 1:20:24.240 information that leads the discovery of the remains. He was 1:20:24.280 --> 1:20:27.800 shot in the head. Peter Falconio on a remote stretch 1:20:27.840 --> 1:20:31.000 of the Stuart Highway near Barrow Creek, around three hundred 1:20:31.040 --> 1:20:33.519 kilometers north of Alice Springs back in July of two 1:20:33.600 --> 1:20:37.080 thousand and one. A twenty eight year old British backpacker 1:20:37.120 --> 1:20:39.599 at the time was traveling around Australia with his girlfriend 1:20:39.720 --> 1:20:44.720 joe Anne Lees. Bradley John Murdoch of course convicted of 1:20:44.840 --> 1:20:48.280 murdering mister Falconi in two thousand and five, but he's 1:20:48.320 --> 1:20:52.040 never revealed the location of his body. There's been plenty 1:20:52.080 --> 1:20:54.959 of police searchers and they've all failed to locate the remains. 1:20:55.439 --> 1:20:57.880 Murdoch was also convicted of the attempted kidnapp and as 1:20:57.920 --> 1:21:00.599 soldom his leees who managed to escape and hiding bush land, 1:21:01.080 --> 1:21:03.599 and he's currently serving a life sentence at the Alice 1:21:03.800 --> 1:21:08.840 Springs prison with a non parole period of twenty eight years. 1:21:09.960 --> 1:21:13.799 The Acting Commander Mark Greeb says the Northern Territory Police 1:21:13.840 --> 1:21:17.280 still hold out hope that someone could provide information that 1:21:17.439 --> 1:21:20.639 leads the discovery of mister Falconio's body. 1:21:21.320 --> 1:21:25.000 The body of Peter has never been located, despite continued 1:21:25.000 --> 1:21:29.040 efforts by the NT Police to do so by investigating 1:21:29.080 --> 1:21:32.840 any viable information or leads that have been received throughout 1:21:32.880 --> 1:21:36.599 the years since. The NT Police still hold out hope 1:21:36.640 --> 1:21:39.839 that someone may be able to provide some vital information 1:21:40.360 --> 1:21:43.800 to assist in this search, and as such, a fresh 1:21:43.880 --> 1:21:47.560 reward for information is now on offer of up to 1:21:47.680 --> 1:21:51.960 five hundred thousand dollars for information that leads to discovery 1:21:52.280 --> 1:21:56.599 of Peter's body. We've made numerous approaches to mister Murdoch 1:21:57.280 --> 1:22:00.759 over the years that have passed up until very recently 1:22:01.080 --> 1:22:06.720 being this week. Unfortunately, the outcome of those conversations rest 1:22:06.840 --> 1:22:11.840 with mister murder. On all occasions he's chosen not to 1:22:12.040 --> 1:22:13.800 positively engage with police. 1:22:13.720 --> 1:22:16.160 That he's Acting Commander Mark Greave of the Northern Territory 1:22:16.280 --> 1:22:19.720 Police Force let it a leaming mark. Where did it 1:22:19.880 --> 1:22:23.120 all go wrong for the Liberal Party at the federal election. 1:22:23.520 --> 1:22:26.639 Good afternoon, Good afternoon, Olie. 1:22:26.760 --> 1:22:29.200 Personally, I mean I watched all three of the the 1:22:29.240 --> 1:22:32.040 leader's debates and it was one of those I thought 1:22:32.160 --> 1:22:34.680 Alban easy actually answering the questions he. 1:22:34.720 --> 1:22:36.360 Was supposed but but done. 1:22:36.560 --> 1:22:38.479 It felt like he was back in high school again 1:22:38.520 --> 1:22:39.480 with the bullying. 1:22:39.200 --> 1:22:42.200 Tactics and the talk down his opposition instead of actually 1:22:42.200 --> 1:22:43.880 talking about what his party was going to be keen 1:22:43.960 --> 1:22:48.280 and keep doing. And quite frankly, if politics can't be 1:22:48.360 --> 1:22:51.519 solved by actually saying what your policy is, how you're 1:22:51.520 --> 1:22:53.479 going to enforce it, and how you're going to make 1:22:53.479 --> 1:22:56.360 it all happen, and you just resort to literal high school, 1:22:56.760 --> 1:22:59.120 primary school tactics, just try and get your way, then 1:23:00.080 --> 1:23:00.640 no brain of. 1:23:02.840 --> 1:23:06.040 So Mark for you. It was about the negativity, about 1:23:06.080 --> 1:23:08.720 the criticism of the government as opposed to putting out 1:23:08.800 --> 1:23:11.599 an alternative plan and policies and to try and worthy 1:23:11.680 --> 1:23:14.280 Australian people with some new ideas. 1:23:15.520 --> 1:23:17.360 Exactly exactly the Elie. 1:23:17.479 --> 1:23:19.439 Thank you mate, appreciate your call. Where do you think 1:23:19.479 --> 1:23:21.599 it all went wrong for the Liberal Party? Susan Lee 1:23:22.280 --> 1:23:26.560 in her first major addresses the new opposition leader, indicating 1:23:26.560 --> 1:23:29.080 there will be a period now of deep reflection and 1:23:29.200 --> 1:23:35.240 not sugar coating the results that the opposition achieved last month. 1:23:36.479 --> 1:23:40.240 Obi says, I find it amazing that Yuko Ostowitch, the 1:23:40.320 --> 1:23:43.720 representative from Main Roads, comes onto your program every other week, 1:23:44.600 --> 1:23:47.000 and when he's asked about projects, there's always years of 1:23:47.080 --> 1:23:51.360 planning and consultation being undertaken. When you look at the 1:23:51.360 --> 1:23:54.360 Burswood motor racing circuit, the Premier and deputy Premier come 1:23:54.400 --> 1:23:57.040 out and make an election announcement and it is all 1:23:57.160 --> 1:24:00.560 go with very little planning and with no prior consultation. 1:24:00.720 --> 1:24:04.519 I find it shameful, says Obi. And the Save Burswood 1:24:04.520 --> 1:24:08.600 Park Alliance today argue eighty five percent of people oppose 1:24:09.200 --> 1:24:14.840 what is being planned for Burswood Park. Would you agree 1:24:14.920 --> 1:24:17.720 with the Burzwood Park Alliance? What do you think those 1:24:17.760 --> 1:24:21.200 figures might be a little inflated? One double three eighty two. 1:24:22.320 --> 1:24:25.960 George Wrights. The reason Albou was reelected was because he 1:24:26.520 --> 1:24:28.920 told porky pies to the voters over and over again. 1:24:29.160 --> 1:24:32.160 Voters believed him. Remember that power prices were coming down 1:24:32.200 --> 1:24:36.640 two hundred and seventy five dollars and this indicates the 1:24:36.680 --> 1:24:39.320 lives are completely bankrupt of any fresh thinking and talent. 1:24:39.400 --> 1:24:42.120 Australians are fed up with the culture wars launched by 1:24:42.160 --> 1:24:44.640 the Liberal Party. It's time they grew up and they 1:24:44.720 --> 1:24:48.960 started representing the people, and Kyle says policies that are 1:24:49.080 --> 1:24:53.560 legitimate and immediate, not thirty years away, tangible and affordable, 1:24:53.680 --> 1:24:59.920 policies that actually have a positive effect on society. Three 1:25:00.479 --> 1:25:13.439 eight eighty two the talkback number. It is seventeen after three. 1:25:13.920 --> 1:25:19.200 WA's anti corruption watchdog, the Corruption and Crime Commission, has 1:25:19.240 --> 1:25:23.360 launched an investigation into how the floriate killer Mark Bombarrow 1:25:23.520 --> 1:25:28.760 was able to own thirteen guns. There's a review now 1:25:28.840 --> 1:25:33.120 into whether there was police misconducts. A report was tabled 1:25:33.160 --> 1:25:36.080 to the Parliament a little earlier today, and the Triple 1:25:36.160 --> 1:25:40.080 C said it's actively reviewed the police's internal investigation into 1:25:40.120 --> 1:25:43.120 the deaths of Jennifer and Gretel Back in May twenty 1:25:43.240 --> 1:25:48.519 twenty four, finding the probe was impartial following an allegation 1:25:48.640 --> 1:25:51.439 officers had failed to assess Bombara's suitability to hold a 1:25:51.520 --> 1:25:55.880 firearms license. The Triple C has advised WA Police that 1:25:56.000 --> 1:26:00.479 it would review an investigation into gun ownership. It's told 1:26:00.520 --> 1:26:03.639 that the matter would be included in the one report 1:26:04.720 --> 1:26:08.320 Police Commissioner Cole Blanche has held a price conference just 1:26:08.400 --> 1:26:11.840 outside the police headquarters about ninety minutes ago. 1:26:11.960 --> 1:26:15.040 Now, firstly, can I thank the Triple C. Their job 1:26:15.200 --> 1:26:18.360 is to have an oversight function of WA Police, and 1:26:18.800 --> 1:26:22.040 the report does state that our investigation, our internal investigation, 1:26:23.000 --> 1:26:27.200 has been found to be impartial and reasonable. Their investigation 1:26:27.400 --> 1:26:33.360 of the improper or the firearms licensing issues is probably 1:26:33.400 --> 1:26:36.719 a question for the Triple C. We will obviously support 1:26:36.800 --> 1:26:40.160 them as best we can through the investigation's actually four 1:26:40.240 --> 1:26:44.320 reviews with an overarching statement, particularly for the coroner. So 1:26:44.400 --> 1:26:48.040 there's the coronial inquest investigation as we would ordinarily do 1:26:49.200 --> 1:26:53.080 the circumstances leading to the three deaths. There is an 1:26:53.200 --> 1:26:57.040 internal investigation which I have already released publicly. There is 1:26:57.080 --> 1:26:59.920 an investigation into what's called the death in police presence 1:27:00.479 --> 1:27:03.200 that was a suicide by Mark Bombarra as police were 1:27:03.280 --> 1:27:05.479 arriving at the premises, which is part of our process 1:27:05.600 --> 1:27:09.200 that we must do. And there is also an investigation 1:27:09.920 --> 1:27:13.840 that WA Police have conducted and are conducting into the 1:27:13.960 --> 1:27:18.320 circumstances of Mark boon Barro's firearms license for some forty 1:27:18.400 --> 1:27:22.599 four years. So there are four investigations and each one 1:27:23.000 --> 1:27:24.160 will be provided. 1:27:23.800 --> 1:27:26.800 To the company that is cole Blanche. Speaking to the 1:27:27.120 --> 1:27:31.120 media a little bit earlier this afternoon, Dave writes Oli 1:27:31.520 --> 1:27:33.800 Albo is good at saying whatever people want to hear. 1:27:34.960 --> 1:27:37.960 We saw all of this in the election and he's 1:27:38.000 --> 1:27:41.080 hoodwinked the younger voters, which predominantly live in city areas. 1:27:41.800 --> 1:27:45.120 They're so easy to greenwash with wonderful ideas that don't 1:27:45.120 --> 1:27:48.800 even make much sense. That is what happened. He also 1:27:48.960 --> 1:27:52.080 wants wa to dig up things so Australia gets money back. 1:27:52.400 --> 1:27:55.400 It's a scam for the Labor Party and may all 1:27:55.520 --> 1:27:59.759 have to fall into line. Russ reckons that Susan Penelope 1:28:00.360 --> 1:28:03.280 is totally wrong direction for the Liberals. She might as 1:28:03.320 --> 1:28:05.880 well just join the Labor Party. She's way too far 1:28:05.960 --> 1:28:10.640 to the left and the Libs definitely need better election advisors. 1:28:10.800 --> 1:28:11.400 So what do they do? 1:28:11.560 --> 1:28:14.960 Where's it all gone wrong? Where was the disconnect? Spoken 1:28:15.000 --> 1:28:18.839 about by Susan Lee at the Press Club in Canberra today? 1:28:19.120 --> 1:28:23.000 One double three eight eighty two the talkback number. We'll 1:28:23.040 --> 1:28:26.280 hear from the Treasurer Jim Chalmers on today's inflation figures. 1:28:26.840 --> 1:28:29.439 He just a moment great, have you a company humph 1:28:29.479 --> 1:28:32.560 Day Wednesday here on six PR If you'd like to 1:28:32.640 --> 1:28:34.680 join the conversation, I'd love to hear your voice one 1:28:34.760 --> 1:28:39.639 double three eight eighty two. Sam from Saint James believes 1:28:39.680 --> 1:28:42.080 Susan Lee is moving the Liberal Party further to the 1:28:42.200 --> 1:28:46.360 left and it will result in further poor results for 1:28:46.479 --> 1:28:49.719 the Libs. The party needs to look at what Trump 1:28:49.800 --> 1:28:52.840 and the Reform Party in the UK are doing. It 1:28:52.960 --> 1:28:58.960 is simple, low or no immigration, stop overseas citizens from 1:28:59.080 --> 1:29:04.640 owning Australian and houses, to address the housing crisis, a 1:29:04.800 --> 1:29:08.160 baby bonus or tax relief for couples to have three 1:29:08.280 --> 1:29:13.360 or more kids, incentives to bring manufacturing back to Australia 1:29:14.160 --> 1:29:18.679 and reform the ndis to address fraud. Now, that would 1:29:18.720 --> 1:29:22.040 be a start and be a distinct difference with the 1:29:22.240 --> 1:29:25.479 other political parties. Just like in the United States and 1:29:25.520 --> 1:29:28.800 the United Kingdom, there is a silent majority in Australia 1:29:29.240 --> 1:29:33.040 who want change. Great cho alie, says Sam from Saint James. 1:29:35.439 --> 1:29:38.519 So he's just articulated a few ideas for the Liberal Party, 1:29:39.640 --> 1:29:44.400 which Susan Lee confirms has been smashed, and he's disconnected 1:29:44.439 --> 1:29:46.519 from the Australian electorre Do you think Sam's on the 1:29:46.560 --> 1:29:53.639 money by cutting migration numbers banning overseas buyers from purchasing 1:29:53.680 --> 1:29:59.240 Australian properties as a start, or is there more the 1:29:59.320 --> 1:30:03.120 Liberal Party sh do to woo back voters one double 1:30:03.200 --> 1:30:07.200 three eight eighty two. Stuart reckons they've become very arrogant, 1:30:07.400 --> 1:30:09.719 the Liberals, both in the state and the federal elections, 1:30:09.760 --> 1:30:13.160 and that's why he didn't vote for them. I didn't 1:30:13.160 --> 1:30:15.559 hear all the conversation, but my thoughts are that very 1:30:15.680 --> 1:30:18.800 traditional Liberal voters are looking for an alternative because their 1:30:18.880 --> 1:30:21.759 policies were weak and just playing tipfits out with Labor, 1:30:21.800 --> 1:30:25.040 who got a lot of votes by defaults the Libs 1:30:25.080 --> 1:30:27.639 have amounted to climb and going extreme right wing would 1:30:27.680 --> 1:30:31.160 not be the answer. And I was arrested on LMP 1:30:31.280 --> 1:30:34.519 voter oli until Scott Morrison sold us out with COVID 1:30:34.560 --> 1:30:36.960 and he backed mart McGowan and the rest of the 1:30:37.000 --> 1:30:40.479 state premier crooks in their baseless tyranny. That was a 1:30:40.520 --> 1:30:44.360 clear overreach of governments. I'd already sworn I would never 1:30:44.479 --> 1:30:47.400 vote for them again, and I won't, but putting Susan 1:30:47.520 --> 1:30:50.400 Lee in place will be the death of the party. 1:30:50.520 --> 1:30:55.160 In good riddance, these people betrayed their base. They'll now pay. 1:30:55.840 --> 1:30:58.559 The Labor Party will hang themselves too eventually, as people 1:30:58.680 --> 1:31:02.080 realize are no longer serving the public but are mostly 1:31:02.160 --> 1:31:04.960 lining their own pockets and artificially propping up the economy 1:31:05.000 --> 1:31:08.960 with immigration. I hope we can survive them. In the meantime, 1:31:09.000 --> 1:31:10.880 I've lost all respect for any of them, and I'm 1:31:10.920 --> 1:31:15.519 cleaning not alone one double three, eight eighty two. Where's 1:31:15.520 --> 1:31:17.439 it all gone wrong for the Libs? And what else 1:31:17.479 --> 1:31:30.160 could be done to woo back Australian voters twenty seven 1:31:30.200 --> 1:31:36.120 after three. Inflation is eased back more than expected last month, 1:31:36.560 --> 1:31:40.280 with consumer prices rising two point one percent over the 1:31:40.400 --> 1:31:43.080 year to May, and that's down from two point four 1:31:43.160 --> 1:31:47.640 percents in April. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, 1:31:48.360 --> 1:31:51.120 the monthly consumer price index was at its lowest levels 1:31:51.160 --> 1:31:53.960 since October twenty twenty four. And it's all down to 1:31:54.040 --> 1:31:58.120 the good work of Jim Charmers. That's what the Treasurer 1:31:58.160 --> 1:31:59.760 would like to claim, and tried to do so a 1:31:59.800 --> 1:32:00.320 bit earlier. 1:32:01.000 --> 1:32:04.040 This is the lowest that inflation has been four years. 1:32:04.880 --> 1:32:08.639 It's the lowest headline inflation since the beginning of twenty 1:32:08.720 --> 1:32:12.640 twenty one. It's the lowest underlying inflation since the end 1:32:12.720 --> 1:32:16.040 of twenty twenty one, and also means, for the first 1:32:16.120 --> 1:32:19.600 time since these monthly records have been kept that we 1:32:19.800 --> 1:32:24.479 have seen six consecutive months now of inflation within the 1:32:24.600 --> 1:32:28.679 Reserve Bank's target range. This means that the progress we're 1:32:28.720 --> 1:32:32.439 making together on inflation is substantial, and it means that 1:32:32.560 --> 1:32:36.799 it's sustained and these are very welcome developments. These numbers 1:32:36.840 --> 1:32:41.680 today are very encouraging because they illustrate the progress that 1:32:41.760 --> 1:32:45.000 Australians have made together when it comes to getting on 1:32:45.120 --> 1:32:47.720 top of this inflation challenge that we have had in 1:32:47.840 --> 1:32:49.599 our economy for some time now. 1:32:50.400 --> 1:32:53.800 Jim Charmer's the Federal Treasurer, none those inflation figures a 1:32:53.840 --> 1:32:57.639 liarlier today. Do you feel as though things have started 1:32:57.680 --> 1:32:59.360 to call with what you need to pay for what 1:32:59.520 --> 1:33:02.640 you buying? Do you feel as though inflations starting to 1:33:02.640 --> 1:33:06.599 get back into the bottle? One? Double three eight eighty two. 1:33:07.400 --> 1:33:09.320 May that mean there'll be an interest rate cut again 1:33:09.360 --> 1:33:14.040 in July? Because more of the major banks, including the Commonwealth, 1:33:14.080 --> 1:33:18.000 today indicating that is its belief that the Reserve Bank 1:33:18.080 --> 1:33:22.320 will meet next month to consider interest rates in fact, 1:33:22.360 --> 1:33:25.880 it's in about two weeks now. While food and non 1:33:25.920 --> 1:33:28.639 alcoholic beverages are the biggest contributed to the headline CPI, 1:33:28.720 --> 1:33:31.519 they rose two point nine percent over the year, down 1:33:31.600 --> 1:33:35.000 three point one percent in April. Fruit and veggiees two 1:33:35.000 --> 1:33:37.520 point eight percent of the year, so may down significantly 1:33:37.600 --> 1:33:42.240 the six point one percent recorded a month earlier. While 1:33:42.360 --> 1:33:46.479 fruit prices actually fell down last month two point seven percent. 1:33:47.240 --> 1:33:53.760 The lower prices for mandarins, oranges, avocados and apples. Go 1:33:53.840 --> 1:33:57.439 a mandarin right now? One double three, eight eighty two. 1:33:58.080 --> 1:34:01.160 Do you feel as though the price of fruit he's 1:34:01.200 --> 1:34:05.439 starting to fall? There is no Money News preview this 1:34:05.600 --> 1:34:08.000 afternoon with deb Night, but she will join you at 1:34:08.280 --> 1:34:12.160 seven o'clock as she does Monday to Wednesday. Right here 1:34:12.840 --> 1:34:16.360 on at six pr Cameron reckons that Jim Chalmers likes 1:34:16.439 --> 1:34:19.880 to talk when things go well, but isn't it strange 1:34:19.920 --> 1:34:22.640 that he doesn't talk about the very low productivity in 1:34:22.720 --> 1:34:28.240 Australia which seems to be causing the demands being made 1:34:28.280 --> 1:34:31.200 there by the unions. Robin wants to know if we 1:34:31.240 --> 1:34:33.800 need a reform party like we do in the UK. 1:34:33.920 --> 1:34:37.040 Do we need a true conservative party? Is that what 1:34:37.200 --> 1:34:40.559 the Liberals should be Is that who the Liberals should 1:34:40.600 --> 1:34:43.479 be representing? Because I think Susan Lee wants to take 1:34:43.479 --> 1:34:46.679 it in a bit of a different direction. And Eddie says, 1:34:46.720 --> 1:34:49.840 if those voters want left wing parties to vote for, 1:34:49.960 --> 1:34:52.960 then we're spoilt for choice. The Libs need to offer 1:34:53.040 --> 1:34:59.519 a strong, fearless conservative alternative rather than becoming labor lights. 1:35:02.479 --> 1:35:04.679 Greg says having more women and are welcome to country 1:35:04.800 --> 1:35:07.400 ceremony will not get them re elected. Only good policies 1:35:07.479 --> 1:35:10.200 that are different from government will do that, and they 1:35:10.280 --> 1:35:16.439 need a strong leader, which unfortunately Susan is not one 1:35:16.760 --> 1:35:19.600 double three eight eighty two. If you'd like to have 1:35:19.800 --> 1:35:22.080 your say, you're going to meet Bell in a moment 1:35:22.120 --> 1:35:25.320 from Beauty and the Beast, Jody wants to know how 1:35:25.560 --> 1:35:27.640 would you get people in and out of Burswood to 1:35:27.640 --> 1:35:31.439 watch a car race. It's chaos getting in and out 1:35:31.479 --> 1:35:33.040 of that Cassento set up. What do they think they're 1:35:33.040 --> 1:35:35.280 going to do when there's a car race on fly 1:35:35.360 --> 1:35:39.160 everyone in in helicopters. It's ridiculous. The course should be 1:35:39.160 --> 1:35:42.080 built well out of the city area. We get sixty 1:35:42.120 --> 1:35:45.840 thousand people into the stadium, same area, so I'm sure 1:35:45.880 --> 1:35:48.479 they'll just walk across the Mattagarrett Bridge, or maybe use 1:35:48.520 --> 1:35:51.120 the buses that come in, or maybe use the train 1:35:51.240 --> 1:35:54.920 station that's nearby, or walk up the Crown and get 1:35:55.000 --> 1:35:57.320 in and out of that way. Already do it, don't. 1:35:57.320 --> 1:36:01.960 We don't think we're going to have that many more people? 1:36:02.000 --> 1:36:04.880 Would we bound around the race course when it's constructed. 1:36:05.840 --> 1:36:10.040 Tom in Chili chittering likey I said it that way said, 1:36:10.080 --> 1:36:12.519 except for maybe the Nationals, all the other major parties 1:36:12.560 --> 1:36:16.160 are hopeless. The best policies. Don't worry and be happy. 1:36:16.200 --> 1:36:20.919 Why waste mental energy now on our pollyes Greg agrees, 1:36:21.200 --> 1:36:23.360 we don't want labor light. If Susan Lee thinks that 1:36:23.800 --> 1:36:26.800 she's the answer, she's wrong. My vote's going to go 1:36:26.840 --> 1:36:29.840 to one nation and we will need Andrew Hasty as 1:36:29.880 --> 1:36:33.479 the leader. So as Andrew Hasty need to break away 1:36:33.520 --> 1:36:37.960 and form some sort of reform party like you had 1:36:38.240 --> 1:36:41.880 over there in the UK. Kyle says, what if all 1:36:41.920 --> 1:36:44.800 the primary producers such as gas, oil, mineral stockpiled for 1:36:44.960 --> 1:36:48.000 a year, the whole world will be busting down our 1:36:48.080 --> 1:36:51.080 door next year and happy to pay double Set it up, Holly, 1:36:51.200 --> 1:36:55.759 because we will cope and Patrick grickins at. Susan Lee's 1:36:55.840 --> 1:36:59.400 speech suggests she wants to rebrand the Liberals as labor 1:36:59.479 --> 1:37:03.639 b Everything she says she wants is already available with Labours, 1:37:03.680 --> 1:37:06.880 so it offers no alternative to the lift, and she 1:37:07.080 --> 1:37:10.519 is guaranteed that she will never be the Prime Minister herself. 1:37:12.240 --> 1:37:14.800 That's a bit of feedback from Patrick one double three 1:37:15.080 --> 1:37:18.200 add two. If you'd like to have your say, I'd 1:37:18.320 --> 1:37:22.839 love to hear from you at twenty three two four. 1:37:23.680 --> 1:37:29.800 B oh, guest, be our guest, put our service to 1:37:30.000 --> 1:37:30.479 the test. 1:37:30.960 --> 1:37:34.719 Tie your napkin around your next sherry and we provide 1:37:34.840 --> 1:37:35.920 the rest soup. 1:37:36.000 --> 1:37:37.439 Do you a hot order? 1:37:37.960 --> 1:37:41.320 Why we only live to serve?

We get some of 1:38:04.000 --> 1:38:07.160 the best musicals in the world coming to Perth and 1:38:07.400 --> 1:38:11.240 starting in just over one month's time, is the Fabulous 1:38:11.720 --> 1:38:14.040 Beauty and the Beast of course by Disney, and I 1:38:14.200 --> 1:38:16.680 please to say joining me in the studio today is 1:38:16.680 --> 1:38:20.240 shub Sree Candia who plays Bell. Shubstree. It's lovely to 1:38:20.280 --> 1:38:20.519 meet you. 1:38:20.720 --> 1:38:21.680 Thank you, thank you so much for. 1:38:21.680 --> 1:38:24.439 Having me my pleasure. You have the best role in 1:38:24.520 --> 1:38:27.120 one of the best musicals of all time, I really do. 1:38:27.840 --> 1:38:31.000 It is such a much loved classic and it's just 1:38:31.439 --> 1:38:33.320 a beautiful role to play. I think she's a beautiful 1:38:33.360 --> 1:38:35.639 character and it's an honor to be in this production. 1:38:35.920 --> 1:38:39.599 You've been traveling Australia playing Bells. Perth the last stop 1:38:39.640 --> 1:38:40.400 on the national tour. 1:38:40.560 --> 1:38:43.760 It is the last Australian stop. So I think if 1:38:43.800 --> 1:38:45.439 you haven't seen the show and you've been wanting to, 1:38:45.760 --> 1:38:48.360 now's the time because it is the last place we 1:38:48.439 --> 1:38:48.720 will be. 1:38:49.160 --> 1:38:50.760 And it's good for you because you're back where you 1:38:50.840 --> 1:38:52.519 grew up in wa Yeah. 1:38:52.640 --> 1:38:54.479 I think you know it's been such a long wait 1:38:54.720 --> 1:38:56.960 to come here. The Perth tour was announced so long 1:38:57.000 --> 1:39:00.840 ago that it's like, oh, it's finally here. So yeah, 1:39:00.840 --> 1:39:01.960 I'm very much looking forward to it. 1:39:02.040 --> 1:39:03.720 I'm sure you are. You've been in Perth now for 1:39:03.840 --> 1:39:06.400 a little while on this stints and you had a 1:39:06.439 --> 1:39:08.240 little involvement with state of origin. 1:39:09.040 --> 1:39:11.240 Yes, I'm actually we're in Adelaide with the show at 1:39:11.280 --> 1:39:13.400 the moment, but it was really wonderful to kind of 1:39:13.680 --> 1:39:16.240 pop down to Perth just ahead of the actual tour 1:39:17.360 --> 1:39:20.080 and yeah, perform the national anthem for the origin. 1:39:20.439 --> 1:39:22.280 How's that when you get to that call, I've in 1:39:22.320 --> 1:39:24.160 front of sixty thousand people, adopt the stadium and I 1:39:24.240 --> 1:39:26.479 you've done it before. But what's that like seeing the 1:39:26.560 --> 1:39:29.240 national anthem in front of in front of a packed house? 1:39:29.400 --> 1:39:30.920 I mean, it's kind of one of those ones where 1:39:31.240 --> 1:39:33.840 you know, you're like, don't muck up the words to 1:39:33.960 --> 1:39:36.320 the national anthem. I think that's the biggest pressure. But 1:39:36.360 --> 1:39:38.720 it's I think, so different from performing on stage, you know, 1:39:39.000 --> 1:39:42.040 like the audience is very much there to watch the sport, 1:39:42.400 --> 1:39:45.920 and so different from like you know, now performances when 1:39:45.920 --> 1:39:47.080 they're very much there to watch us. 1:39:47.240 --> 1:39:49.080 I would imagine that you still think, is it we 1:39:49.240 --> 1:39:50.920 are one and free or we are young and free? 1:39:50.960 --> 1:39:52.280 Because we all grew up with it, you know, the 1:39:52.360 --> 1:39:53.920 old version of how it's one and free, And I 1:39:53.960 --> 1:39:55.479 think sometimes people say the wrong thing. 1:39:55.720 --> 1:39:57.760 I think so, but I really love the new version. 1:39:57.800 --> 1:39:59.519 I think that lyric change is great and it always 1:39:59.520 --> 1:39:59.840 sticks in. 1:39:59.840 --> 1:40:01.439 My Yeah, it is good. It is good. 1:40:01.479 --> 1:40:03.000 But you go from the extremes, right, you got a 1:40:03.000 --> 1:40:06.719 State of Origin rugby league crowd to performing Disney's Beauty 1:40:06.880 --> 1:40:08.760 in the Beast and some of the best theaters in 1:40:08.840 --> 1:40:10.400 Australia and you're gonna be doing that in Crown in 1:40:10.479 --> 1:40:14.280 a month's time. That's awesome. There's nothing quite like live 1:40:14.360 --> 1:40:15.880 musical theater. There really isn't. 1:40:15.920 --> 1:40:19.120 I think, you know why so many people keep coming 1:40:19.200 --> 1:40:21.360 back to the show, It's just because, you know, I 1:40:21.400 --> 1:40:23.679 think the nature of live theater is that it's different 1:40:23.680 --> 1:40:25.840 every day and we have you know, sometimes people with 1:40:25.960 --> 1:40:28.040 illness and we'll have a cover on and so like 1:40:28.280 --> 1:40:30.880 you always like there's a different version of the show 1:40:30.920 --> 1:40:33.880 every day, always saying true to like what it is. 1:40:34.000 --> 1:40:36.439 But I think that's the joy of watching something live. 1:40:36.640 --> 1:40:39.839 And you have a really talented cast that is performing 1:40:39.920 --> 1:40:42.639 with you in Disney's Beauty in the Beast. Yeah, obviously 1:40:42.680 --> 1:40:44.760 developing some good friendships along the way as well. 1:40:44.880 --> 1:40:45.040 Yeah. 1:40:45.040 --> 1:40:46.640 I mean it's been two years, so it's been a 1:40:46.720 --> 1:40:49.000 long time of kind of finding our rhythm with each other, 1:40:49.080 --> 1:40:51.479 and I think we have the most incredible cast. I 1:40:51.520 --> 1:40:54.519 remember from day dot thinking in the rehearsal room, Wow, 1:40:54.560 --> 1:40:56.640 they've really cast the best people for the roles in 1:40:56.720 --> 1:40:58.800 this so it's really an honor to be a part 1:40:58.800 --> 1:40:58.960 of it. 1:40:59.080 --> 1:41:00.639 Do you ever get sick of anybody you're with you're 1:41:00.640 --> 1:41:01.960 looking forward to a wrapping up set, I have to 1:41:01.960 --> 1:41:03.160 see them again for a little while. 1:41:03.840 --> 1:41:05.960 No, I think everybody's pretty great on this one. 1:41:06.040 --> 1:41:08.640 It's been a good time. Do you have any idiosyncrasies 1:41:08.720 --> 1:41:10.680 of your own that before a performance you have to, 1:41:10.760 --> 1:41:12.360 you know, put like your left shoe on before you 1:41:12.520 --> 1:41:13.600 right shoe or anything like that. 1:41:14.400 --> 1:41:17.080 Yes, I think there are like little things that I'm like, 1:41:17.200 --> 1:41:19.080 I have to do this now just because it's part 1:41:19.120 --> 1:41:22.040 of my plot. But I think that's also fun. You know, 1:41:22.120 --> 1:41:24.680 you have a little backstage things with the crew as well, 1:41:24.760 --> 1:41:27.360 like we'll high five before this particular scene, and you 1:41:27.439 --> 1:41:28.720 know that's all part of the fun. 1:41:28.920 --> 1:41:32.320 You attracted towards Disney productions, and I know you've been 1:41:32.400 --> 1:41:34.880 Cinderella on a couple of occasions. I believe she'll tree. 1:41:35.040 --> 1:41:37.920 Yes, that actually wasn't with Disney. That was a Rogers 1:41:37.960 --> 1:41:40.479 and Hammerstein's version of Cinderella. And then I did into 1:41:40.479 --> 1:41:43.599 the Woods as Cinderella as well. But my last Disney 1:41:43.680 --> 1:41:46.280 show was Aladdin and I played Princess Jasmine, and that 1:41:46.800 --> 1:41:49.080 was the last time I performed in Perth, so it's 1:41:49.120 --> 1:41:50.040 really nice to be back. 1:41:50.360 --> 1:41:52.720 Well do you prefer Bell or Princess Jasmine? You get 1:41:52.720 --> 1:41:54.120 some pretty good roles, I really do. 1:41:55.200 --> 1:41:57.720 I think they're both very different, and I've kind of 1:41:57.760 --> 1:42:00.439 loved being both of them, I think, and Aladdin it 1:42:00.479 --> 1:42:03.640 was a really lovely introduction to being a lead in 1:42:03.720 --> 1:42:06.479 a production because I think the responsibility of the show 1:42:06.600 --> 1:42:09.800 wasn't so much on me, you know. I was a lead, 1:42:09.880 --> 1:42:12.840 but very much a supporting lead, whereas this show I 1:42:12.920 --> 1:42:15.320 feel like I'm on stage pretty much the whole time, 1:42:15.960 --> 1:42:17.160 and it's hugely demanding. 1:42:17.640 --> 1:42:20.960 Yeah, it's funny that we're talking today because yesterday afternoon 1:42:21.040 --> 1:42:25.120 my son had turned on the Disney streaming service and 1:42:25.240 --> 1:42:28.800 actually found the musical version of Frozen. Oh yeah, and 1:42:29.200 --> 1:42:32.559 all of a sudden, the way that it's also now streaming, 1:42:32.640 --> 1:42:34.639 you go, hold on it, ma, this is like you're 1:42:34.640 --> 1:42:38.320 actually there. What was able to happen with what you're 1:42:38.360 --> 1:42:40.479 doing in the stage shows now music when there is 1:42:40.560 --> 1:42:43.360 nothing quite like live theater, but the difference between what 1:42:43.600 --> 1:42:45.880 is live theater or a musical versus what you might 1:42:45.920 --> 1:42:49.080 have seen in a movie. I mean, they're just as 1:42:49.160 --> 1:42:50.720 powerful as each other, and what you're able to do 1:42:50.800 --> 1:42:53.200 on a stage is incredible, It really is. 1:42:53.360 --> 1:42:55.920 I think also just growing up with that animated film, 1:42:56.560 --> 1:42:58.640 what I've kind of loved about this version of the 1:42:58.680 --> 1:43:01.160 show is the kind of incorporation of. 1:43:02.680 --> 1:43:03.000 Kind of. 1:43:04.520 --> 1:43:08.719 Animation in the in the show, which I haven't loved 1:43:08.760 --> 1:43:11.040 on any other show that I have seen or been 1:43:11.080 --> 1:43:13.760 a part of, but I think because there was the 1:43:13.840 --> 1:43:16.439 animated version, I think the incorporation of how they've done 1:43:16.600 --> 1:43:19.160 with this one is just really beautiful and it kind 1:43:19.200 --> 1:43:22.040 of is nostalgic in that way. 1:43:22.840 --> 1:43:26.000 That's a beautiful music score, Beauty and the Beast. You 1:43:26.120 --> 1:43:28.559 must be just the hairs on the back of your 1:43:28.600 --> 1:43:30.720 neck must be standing out when you're singing some of 1:43:30.720 --> 1:43:33.479 those absolute classics there. It really is. 1:43:33.560 --> 1:43:35.600 And I think, you know, it's always special to have 1:43:35.680 --> 1:43:38.840 a different orchestra in each city, so like I cannot 1:43:38.880 --> 1:43:40.840 wait to hear our Perth orchestra play that music. 1:43:41.200 --> 1:43:43.040 Gee, it's exciting, all right. If you want to get tickets, 1:43:43.120 --> 1:43:48.439 head along to Beautyanthebeast musical dot com dot au first 1:43:48.760 --> 1:43:52.000 performance here in Perth is in just a month's time, Thursday, 1:43:52.080 --> 1:43:54.200 the twenty fourth of July. I bet you can't wait 1:43:54.280 --> 1:43:56.120 to get your feet back on the ground here in Perth. 1:43:56.160 --> 1:43:58.320 Is there anywhere when you're a return to Perth that 1:43:58.479 --> 1:44:01.919 you must visit? Is there some place or a particular 1:44:02.000 --> 1:44:04.479 cafe or restaurant that you go I must go to 1:44:04.560 --> 1:44:05.400 when I'm back in Perth. 1:44:05.560 --> 1:44:07.559 I think I haven't lived here for such a long time, 1:44:07.840 --> 1:44:09.640 so much is new to me, so I really just 1:44:09.680 --> 1:44:10.960 can't wait to explore again. 1:44:11.360 --> 1:44:13.479 Well, fair enough, get up to King's Park and get 1:44:13.479 --> 1:44:15.880 out to codders Low Beach and just enjoy the fresh 1:44:15.920 --> 1:44:17.720 air of Western Australia. It's so good to have you 1:44:17.800 --> 1:44:19.439 in the studio. Is today good luck? 1:44:19.560 --> 1:44:19.840 Thank you. 1:44:20.360 --> 1:44:23.439 We'll go off to the UK in just to chick with. 1:44:24.080 --> 1:44:27.560 End of Brady Lancelin needs a racetrack Ollie on the 1:44:27.600 --> 1:44:31.240 foreshore to stop the erosion, and to say the Lanceln 1:44:31.400 --> 1:44:36.840 Hotel Ollie. It may be a spurious comparison, but perhaps 1:44:36.880 --> 1:44:39.160 the Libs could take a look at the disaster of 1:44:39.320 --> 1:44:41.680 the Conservatives in the UK. You've been and learned from 1:44:41.680 --> 1:44:47.439 their mistakes. They've had at least three leaders since Boris 1:44:48.600 --> 1:44:51.160 and from what I hear, they have all been very, 1:44:51.479 --> 1:44:54.920 very ineffective. We'll look at the polls, look at our 1:44:54.960 --> 1:45:00.400 well Nigel Faras is doing these days. The Conservatives barely 1:45:00.680 --> 1:45:03.519 rate a mention in the UK. So oh, Susan Lee 1:45:03.560 --> 1:45:06.240 wants to have a refreshed start. She had an acknowledgment 1:45:06.280 --> 1:45:09.719 of Country today breaking away with what the former Liberal 1:45:09.800 --> 1:45:12.280 leader Peter Dutton was doing. Is that the part to 1:45:12.360 --> 1:45:14.960 take the Liberal parties which got smashed, which are disconnected 1:45:14.960 --> 1:45:19.799 from the Australian electried or do you want a stronger 1:45:19.840 --> 1:45:25.160 alternative Conservative party? One double three eight eighty two, And 1:45:25.680 --> 1:45:28.479 Joe says, go and see that story about the three 1:45:29.360 --> 1:45:31.479 moron's betting to death the pigeon with the golf club 1:45:31.640 --> 1:45:34.360 on that mind sight in wa and we should also 1:45:34.439 --> 1:45:36.759 name the company is this isn't only a worker's culture 1:45:36.840 --> 1:45:41.559 but a company culture too, reckons Joe one double three, 1:45:41.680 --> 1:45:44.559 eight eighty two. If you'd like to join Perth live 1:45:45.160 --> 1:45:46.719 and he's still in the middle of a heat wave 1:45:46.920 --> 1:45:51.400 over your side of the world. Good afternoon, No that's. 1:45:51.320 --> 1:45:54.360 Changed, Ohlie, Actually it was a lot cooler in London 1:45:54.479 --> 1:45:57.720 yesterday Oxfordshire. Today it's even cooler. Still a lot of 1:45:57.760 --> 1:46:00.479 cload cover. Heat wave has gone away for now. Heat 1:46:00.520 --> 1:46:02.919 waving inverted comments obviously by your standards. 1:46:03.320 --> 1:46:05.639 Yes, indeed you've probably still got a sweater on when 1:46:05.640 --> 1:46:09.320 it's twenty two degrees in you're on Switchem. Yeah, he can't. 1:46:10.000 --> 1:46:13.360 He's bringing forward Trump's state visit to September. 1:46:15.040 --> 1:46:17.680 So Keer Starmer right now is in the Netherlands for 1:46:17.760 --> 1:46:21.519 this NATO summit two days. President Trump has just turned 1:46:21.600 --> 1:46:24.880 up and Starmer will be delivering some very good news 1:46:25.000 --> 1:46:28.280 because President Trump wants his second state visit as quickly 1:46:28.320 --> 1:46:32.280 as possible. However, the Prime Minister is going against the 1:46:32.360 --> 1:46:35.679 King on this because Charles's view was that yeah, Trump 1:46:35.760 --> 1:46:39.280 could come, but come initially and go to Scotland for 1:46:39.360 --> 1:46:41.880 lunch and have a chat and they could plan the 1:46:42.000 --> 1:46:44.720 trip together. Now, I was initially told that this state 1:46:44.840 --> 1:46:48.320 visit would happen mid twenty six, if not early twenty seven, 1:46:48.800 --> 1:46:51.280 and Starmer is in such a rush to curry favor 1:46:51.360 --> 1:46:54.360 with the Trump administration. That's the news he will be 1:46:54.479 --> 1:46:57.599 delivering in person to President Trump in the next hour 1:46:57.680 --> 1:47:02.120 or so. You're coming in September Starmer bending over backwards 1:47:02.280 --> 1:47:05.280 at the expense of his relationship with the King to 1:47:05.400 --> 1:47:06.719 keep President trum Pabi. 1:47:07.240 --> 1:47:09.960 The UK is going to buy fier jets capable of 1:47:10.160 --> 1:47:12.720 carrying nuclear weapons in that. 1:47:14.200 --> 1:47:16.840 This is a big, big story breaking this morning here. 1:47:17.000 --> 1:47:20.799 So obviously all eyes on defense and NATO and spending 1:47:21.000 --> 1:47:23.200 and Starmer has just let it be known that they 1:47:23.200 --> 1:47:26.519 will be buying a dozen F thirty five fighter jets 1:47:26.600 --> 1:47:30.120 from an American company. And this is a new development 1:47:30.200 --> 1:47:33.559 for the UK's arsenal of weaponry. They will be able 1:47:33.600 --> 1:47:36.720 to carry nuclear weapons now Britain has never been able 1:47:36.760 --> 1:47:39.920 to launch them from jets before. Britain's never launched one 1:47:39.960 --> 1:47:43.320 obviously ever, but if they had to do it right now, 1:47:43.400 --> 1:47:45.760 they can only do it from a submarine. So they're 1:47:45.800 --> 1:47:48.840 going to spend a significant amount of money buying F 1:47:49.000 --> 1:47:52.600 thirty five jets capable of carrying nuclear weapons. And I 1:47:52.680 --> 1:47:55.520 think it's just a little more flexing of the biceps 1:47:55.560 --> 1:47:57.559 towards Russia and Yuka. 1:47:57.720 --> 1:48:01.040 So United's preparing to make the strakra you Jaffa to 1:48:01.120 --> 1:48:03.679 find of interest from Liverpool and Arsenal. 1:48:04.920 --> 1:48:05.519 So this is the. 1:48:05.600 --> 1:48:10.080 Swedish international Alexander Esak, he has been a revelation since 1:48:10.120 --> 1:48:13.320 he joined Newcastle United. He's scored the second most goals 1:48:13.320 --> 1:48:16.160 in the Premier League last season, behind Mossala of Liverpool 1:48:16.600 --> 1:48:19.800 and the whisper is Liverpool want him to join up 1:48:20.000 --> 1:48:23.360 with Salah and Arsenal are also wanting to sign him, 1:48:23.360 --> 1:48:27.479 So Alexander Esak is in big, big demand. Newcastle United 1:48:27.560 --> 1:48:30.320 clearly are worried about losing him. They want to make 1:48:30.400 --> 1:48:33.880 him the highest paid player in their history. So he 1:48:34.000 --> 1:48:36.640 currently earns about three hundred thousand dollars a week. He 1:48:36.720 --> 1:48:39.479 could be getting close to doubles if he stays. But 1:48:39.640 --> 1:48:41.960 let's see what happens when Liverpool get the check book out, 1:48:42.000 --> 1:48:45.080 because I think we're probably the most attractive club in 1:48:45.240 --> 1:48:47.160 Europe right now to be joining, if I'm honest. 1:48:47.280 --> 1:48:51.639 Yeah, well you would say that though, Oh Wally. 1:48:51.479 --> 1:48:52.800 Do you want to hear some goss j on. 1:48:55.000 --> 1:48:57.400 Guess who fell asleep in the sound of music last 1:48:57.520 --> 1:48:58.520 night in Northbridge? 1:48:59.000 --> 1:49:01.920 No, it's tonight, It hasn't been on yet, it's tonight. 1:49:02.040 --> 1:49:05.680 And oh no, no, no, I heard. I heard a 1:49:05.800 --> 1:49:08.320 friend of ours was in north Bridge last night a 1:49:08.439 --> 1:49:14.799 little preview and got bored. Anyway, I've said too much, likely. 1:49:14.640 --> 1:49:16.680 These days away tonight for the main event, and you 1:49:16.720 --> 1:49:18.439 should have jet it into this, you'd love it. 1:49:19.920 --> 1:49:23.880 My mother loves us. My mother absolutely adores it, so 1:49:24.320 --> 1:49:26.120 do you know what. I've never watched us, but the 1:49:26.400 --> 1:49:29.800 good luck to everyone involved. It's not my kind of 1:49:29.880 --> 1:49:32.479 cup of tea the whole musical world, but my mother 1:49:32.680 --> 1:49:36.160 absolutely adores it. It is a Christmas regular in our house. 1:49:36.400 --> 1:49:38.240 Yeah, what's wrong with you? I mean it's it's sort 1:49:38.240 --> 1:49:39.800 of a rod of passage. Everyone's going to watch the 1:49:39.800 --> 1:49:42.519 sound of music. Something has gone wrong in your life, 1:49:42.560 --> 1:49:45.080 and something's gone wrong in Nick Alvianni's life. You need 1:49:45.160 --> 1:49:46.759 to fix that. Ending you've got to Christmas. 1:49:47.960 --> 1:49:49.519 I'll go with Alviani deal. 1:49:50.720 --> 1:49:54.479 See you night, Chad Tomorrow, Bally and the Brady Love 1:49:54.520 --> 1:49:56.439 and the line from the UK. There's a little word 1:49:56.479 --> 1:50:00.760 on the street for you. Somebody may have been at 1:50:00.760 --> 1:50:03.120 the preview last night and had a little snooze. I'm 1:50:03.160 --> 1:50:05.680 sure they'll stay awake for tonight's main events. It's going 1:50:05.760 --> 1:50:10.679 to be huge sound of music. Carlingington's going to nail 1:50:10.720 --> 1:50:13.320 a few notes. He's going to absolutely love it. It's 1:50:13.360 --> 1:50:15.880 going to be sensational. Now, if you've got a whisper 1:50:15.960 --> 1:50:20.080 to share with me today or if you witness some 1:50:20.160 --> 1:50:22.599 breaking news this afternoon and you'd like to win yourself 1:50:22.760 --> 1:50:26.360 ten thousand dollars for WA asset. What have you seen? 1:50:26.840 --> 1:50:31.120 What have you heard? What is your word on the streets? 1:50:31.479 --> 1:50:35.599 Coming up after the news? The Wa Greens leader Brad 1:50:35.680 --> 1:50:39.080 Pettitz he wants the state government to build apartments around 1:50:39.200 --> 1:50:45.559 every train station on the Fremantle train line. Should there 1:50:45.640 --> 1:50:51.120 be more apartments constructed on the Frio line? Does that 1:50:51.280 --> 1:50:54.639 mean the railway needs to be sunk? Because that land 1:50:55.080 --> 1:50:57.840 would be very, very valuable to developers. And while I'll 1:50:57.840 --> 1:51:00.200 be a lot of money up front to sink the 1:51:00.280 --> 1:51:05.439 Fremantle railway line, what you would have to sell the 1:51:05.560 --> 1:51:07.720 land ford to a developer and could do above land? 1:51:08.040 --> 1:51:11.000 It might cancel each other outs. But do we need 1:51:11.439 --> 1:51:15.000 infill in the western suburbs along the railway line. Brad 1:51:15.040 --> 1:51:17.479 Pettit outlined some of his thoughts this morning at a 1:51:17.479 --> 1:51:20.479 property council breakfast and he'll join us live out of 1:51:20.520 --> 1:51:22.600 the news at four o'clock. I'd love to hear what 1:51:22.680 --> 1:51:25.040 you think one double three eight eighty two, because we 1:51:25.120 --> 1:51:27.679 have this obsession, don't we in Perth? We keep going out, 1:51:28.560 --> 1:51:32.160 we keep extending the metropolitan area north, south and east, 1:51:33.880 --> 1:51:36.200 but do we need to hit some of those infield targets. 1:51:36.280 --> 1:51:40.360 Do we need to go up instead of outs, particularly 1:51:40.880 --> 1:51:43.240 through the Freemantle line of the western suburbs. One double 1:51:43.280 --> 1:51:47.639 three eight eighty two, And be aware the Dodgy roof 1:51:47.760 --> 1:51:51.120 restorers are back in business. They're knocking on doors and 1:51:51.240 --> 1:51:54.679 you'll hear about an elderly Perth couple who've been fleecehed 1:51:54.800 --> 1:51:58.599 eighteen thousand dollars by these con men. It's all ahead 1:51:58.600 --> 1:52:01.040 of us. After four o'clock you're at six PR. Come 1:52:01.120 --> 1:52:03.639 and join the conversation. One double three, eight eighty two. 1:52:15.080 --> 1:52:18.400 Welcome back, Good have you company? Hump Dale Wednesday, riding 1:52:18.479 --> 1:52:23.920 on six P. Grumpy JB says Oli regarding Entrew in Liverpool. 1:52:23.960 --> 1:52:27.479 You need to remind him Liverpool used the Never Walk 1:52:27.520 --> 1:52:31.200 Alone as their theme song and the tune came from Carousel, 1:52:31.280 --> 1:52:34.400 the musical by Rodgers and Hammerstein, not his cup of tea. Indeed, 1:52:34.439 --> 1:52:36.599 he probably has it on his phone as a ring tone. 1:52:36.640 --> 1:52:39.680 Thank you, Grumpy one double three at two If you'd 1:52:39.720 --> 1:52:43.799 like to join Perth Live today. Greens leader Brad Pettits 1:52:44.400 --> 1:52:49.320 has used a Property Council breakfast today to call for 1:52:49.560 --> 1:52:52.240 a thousand people to live at every train station on 1:52:52.280 --> 1:52:55.200 the Fremantle line. He can tell you more. He joins 1:52:55.240 --> 1:52:57.200 his live on six p O this afternoon, Get a 1:52:57.280 --> 1:53:03.280 Brad with you, proposing we tackle the Fremantle Line with 1:53:03.360 --> 1:53:04.320 a bit of infield. 1:53:05.439 --> 1:53:09.240 Well, it's such an opportunity because it's a line where 1:53:09.760 --> 1:53:12.599 people want to live. It's also a line where you've 1:53:12.640 --> 1:53:14.920 got local governments like we see the Fremantle where I 1:53:15.120 --> 1:53:17.840 was mayor, who are really keen to see many more 1:53:17.880 --> 1:53:21.439 people take North mounta train facing amazing opportunity on the beach, 1:53:21.960 --> 1:53:23.800 but no one knew how people ditting around it, but 1:53:24.320 --> 1:53:25.880 all the way up that line were caught as slow 1:53:26.520 --> 1:53:28.320 at Subiaco City West. 1:53:28.840 --> 1:53:29.680 Huge opportunities. 1:53:29.800 --> 1:53:31.840 We have an obsession, don't we at birth to go 1:53:32.640 --> 1:53:35.840 out further, whether it's north, south or east. But we 1:53:35.880 --> 1:53:37.000 don't want to go up Brad. 1:53:38.439 --> 1:53:42.200 Yeah, that's right. Did you know seventy of all new 1:53:42.240 --> 1:53:45.000 houses are built on the free So the longest city 1:53:45.000 --> 1:53:47.080 in the world, we are Ali and it's getting longer 1:53:47.200 --> 1:53:49.519 because that's what we're building over two thirds of our 1:53:49.560 --> 1:53:52.600 new houses. So it's a real opportunity. But this is 1:53:52.800 --> 1:53:54.559 a key point I'm trying to make to the property council. 1:53:55.200 --> 1:53:57.040 Government's got to lead on this, yet you've got to 1:53:57.560 --> 1:54:00.840 have planning. So Subi Centro, which is there's thirty years 1:54:00.840 --> 1:54:04.200 ago now when we're started that a great project, probably 1:54:04.240 --> 1:54:06.680 a bit underbaked in some ways now, yeah, but a 1:54:06.760 --> 1:54:09.519 good project. But we try government sinking the railway line 1:54:10.040 --> 1:54:14.040 enabling that whole area to be redeveloped. Since then, nothing, 1:54:14.280 --> 1:54:16.800 no government's gone and going okay, where else can we 1:54:16.840 --> 1:54:17.360 do this next? 1:54:17.840 --> 1:54:21.240 So we had the Planning Commission last week prove that 1:54:21.680 --> 1:54:26.040 seventeen and fifteen story apartment complex on Station Street and Codders. 1:54:26.320 --> 1:54:28.320 The council obviously doesn't want it. There's a bit of 1:54:28.360 --> 1:54:30.760 community acs because of the infrastructure at the moment with 1:54:30.760 --> 1:54:33.160 the boom gates. Now, isn't this the perfect time, the 1:54:33.200 --> 1:54:36.760 perfect opportunity, Brad, to actually sink the railway line, because 1:54:37.240 --> 1:54:39.560 like you just pointed to with Subi Centro, you do 1:54:39.720 --> 1:54:41.600 that along that corridor. Yes, it'd be a lot of 1:54:41.680 --> 1:54:44.520 money up front, but the value of the land above 1:54:44.800 --> 1:54:47.120 and what you could create with apartments and a little 1:54:47.120 --> 1:54:49.520 bit more of a vibrant sort of cosmopolitan lifestyle, it 1:54:49.640 --> 1:54:52.600 probably cancel out and be sort of cost neutral. 1:54:53.440 --> 1:54:53.840 That's right. 1:54:53.920 --> 1:54:55.400 And this is the kind of projects that would be 1:54:55.440 --> 1:54:57.680 really great to see government invest in. I think much 1:54:57.760 --> 1:55:01.840 better than you as we're part for example, but actually 1:55:01.840 --> 1:55:04.120 you know these are actually city making projects where you 1:55:04.240 --> 1:55:08.120 would you know, create really vibrant centers. But you've got 1:55:08.200 --> 1:55:10.360 at the moment you got thrown at doing that station 1:55:10.560 --> 1:55:12.800 street development is a really good one. I think fully 1:55:12.840 --> 1:55:15.200 support it, but they're kind of sitting by themselves having 1:55:15.200 --> 1:55:18.240 to have that battle rather than actually saying there's a 1:55:18.440 --> 1:55:20.720 precinct here. Government's going to help. It's going to drop 1:55:20.760 --> 1:55:23.080 the drop the train line, or have people to build 1:55:23.120 --> 1:55:25.400 it over it and actually have a whole I mean, 1:55:25.720 --> 1:55:28.720 not just one apartment building, but frankly in that conosso centered, 1:55:28.760 --> 1:55:31.520 there should be be five or ten of them that 1:55:31.640 --> 1:55:34.920 that actually that one can probably hold well many more 1:55:34.960 --> 1:55:37.720 than a thousand people. You think five thousand people living 1:55:38.080 --> 1:55:40.720 in downtown Cottslow wouldn't be a bad thing, would it. 1:55:40.720 --> 1:55:44.040 Be a bad thing? One double three eight eighty two Brad. 1:55:44.120 --> 1:55:48.880 The metro Net projects obviously attached to try to put 1:55:48.920 --> 1:55:53.160 apartment complexes around the stations where the new lines have 1:55:53.240 --> 1:55:56.080 been constructed, Has there been the uptake do you think 1:55:56.120 --> 1:55:57.240 the government was hoping for? 1:55:58.800 --> 1:55:58.840 No? 1:55:59.160 --> 1:56:02.480 Look, there's been a very unenthusiastic uptake, and that looks 1:56:03.000 --> 1:56:05.080 there's good reasons for that. Developers want to make a 1:56:05.120 --> 1:56:08.800 profit as they should and building out there. I mean 1:56:08.840 --> 1:56:10.040 that people who want to live. 1:56:10.000 --> 1:56:12.680 In an apartment don't want to live, you know, in 1:56:12.840 --> 1:56:16.400 some far flung out a suburb on a new train 1:56:16.480 --> 1:56:18.000 line that's not connected to anything. 1:56:18.480 --> 1:56:22.280 The great advantage of density, a good well planned density, is. 1:56:22.280 --> 1:56:26.600 That it's it's it's near amenity, it's it's near existing centers, 1:56:26.760 --> 1:56:31.760 coffee shops, you know, rivers, beaches, all the things that 1:56:32.120 --> 1:56:34.880 actually make our city good. That's where we should be 1:56:34.960 --> 1:56:39.560 putting density, not in these far flung locations. And always 1:56:40.080 --> 1:56:42.360 bizarre that government's kind of literally got it back the 1:56:42.440 --> 1:56:47.280 front we I mean, we need planning to encourage density, 1:56:47.360 --> 1:56:48.600 not just on the Freeman of the line where I 1:56:48.640 --> 1:56:49.560 talked about it's today, but. 1:56:50.200 --> 1:56:53.360 I mean take another example of Bayswater. I mean, the 1:56:53.480 --> 1:56:56.320 town of Bayswater is desperate again for people on their 1:56:56.400 --> 1:56:59.680 main street development down there, but there's no again, there's 1:56:59.680 --> 1:57:02.320 no plan to do it there, but there is further 1:57:02.600 --> 1:57:05.760 further out along out towards Whiteman Park, which is frankly 1:57:05.760 --> 1:57:08.560 where probably nobody really wants to live in an apartment. 1:57:08.760 --> 1:57:10.800 So why are the worst the suburbs always missing from 1:57:10.840 --> 1:57:13.839 this conversation? Why is the Freemantle line ignored? 1:57:13.920 --> 1:57:17.520 Brad Ah, Look, I reckon it's governments don't want to 1:57:17.520 --> 1:57:23.040 have the battle. It's a very well educated community and 1:57:23.200 --> 1:57:25.480 there are look, there are there is some Nimbia element 1:57:25.560 --> 1:57:25.840 down there. 1:57:25.840 --> 1:57:28.480 But I'd also say that I reckon lots of people 1:57:28.560 --> 1:57:29.240 in that community. 1:57:29.760 --> 1:57:33.600 If you sat down with them as them designed their 1:57:33.680 --> 1:57:37.040 city centers and these new transit orientated developments around train 1:57:37.120 --> 1:57:38.879 stations with them, you would. 1:57:38.680 --> 1:57:41.680 Have overwhelming support for this. But that requires government to 1:57:41.680 --> 1:57:43.720 sit down and do the work with the community. But 1:57:43.800 --> 1:57:46.920 I think that's exactly what needs to happen. And if 1:57:46.960 --> 1:57:48.440 we don't do that, all we're going to do is. 1:57:48.480 --> 1:57:50.960 Keep pushing more and more people to the friends rather 1:57:51.040 --> 1:57:53.520 than inviting people to live in the best parts of 1:57:54.080 --> 1:57:56.560 first that that include along along our train lines. 1:57:56.680 --> 1:57:59.680 So we've got this point and use the Cutters example again, 1:57:59.760 --> 1:58:02.920 Yes said last week where it originally went to Council 1:58:02.960 --> 1:58:06.280 of eight Stories, they said no that it went to 1:58:06.360 --> 1:58:08.879 the planning commission. He's now given them fifteen and seventeen. 1:58:08.920 --> 1:58:10.320 So have we gone to the council in the first place, 1:58:10.320 --> 1:58:12.400 they would have just had eight, fifteen or seventeen. Now 1:58:12.480 --> 1:58:14.640 you've been there before, You've been through this, Brad. But 1:58:14.960 --> 1:58:17.680 there seems to be a disconnect between obviously what the 1:58:17.760 --> 1:58:21.560 state government's priorities are with planning and what local governments. 1:58:21.560 --> 1:58:23.720 And every local government is different, of course, but it 1:58:24.360 --> 1:58:26.400 is a system broken. Do we need to try and 1:58:26.480 --> 1:58:29.880 somehow reform the entire system between the collaboration of all 1:58:30.040 --> 1:58:32.360 councils and the state government of the day. 1:58:33.760 --> 1:58:36.680 Yes, And I think, look, it is broken, and it's 1:58:36.680 --> 1:58:39.680 broken now because well there almost isn't planning anymore. What 1:58:39.760 --> 1:58:43.880 you've seen now, unfortunately, is a centralized state government planning 1:58:43.920 --> 1:58:47.000 system where really anything gets approved, whether it's in the planning. 1:58:46.800 --> 1:58:51.240 Scheme or not. It's kind of got very ad hoc. Mean, 1:58:51.240 --> 1:58:52.400 I think almost ned to go back. 1:58:52.800 --> 1:58:54.800 But there also needs to be demand to local governments. 1:58:55.240 --> 1:58:58.960 Local governments need to have density targets that they must meet. 1:58:59.000 --> 1:59:01.440 At the moment, there's only two local governments in the 1:59:01.480 --> 1:59:02.920 Metro area who are meeting. 1:59:02.760 --> 1:59:09.160 The density targets and those are city of those are 1:59:09.240 --> 1:59:11.320 Clermonte and Freemantle. 1:59:11.640 --> 1:59:13.240 No one else is meeting them, but there's also no 1:59:13.400 --> 1:59:16.240 consequence for not or incentive formating them. 1:59:16.360 --> 1:59:18.120 Yeah, so they're not where they're not meeting them because 1:59:18.160 --> 1:59:20.440 of their planning schemes, or developers are not keen to 1:59:20.480 --> 1:59:22.480 build the apartments and they can't turn the profit brad 1:59:22.600 --> 1:59:24.040 or There's a little bit of both and not much 1:59:24.040 --> 1:59:25.320 of an appetite our council. 1:59:26.160 --> 1:59:28.040 Some of them are outdated of planning schemes that makes 1:59:28.040 --> 1:59:28.880 it very hard to do so. 1:59:29.720 --> 1:59:34.240 Others are simply that developers haven't been encouraged to come 1:59:34.280 --> 1:59:35.080 down there because it's not. 1:59:35.080 --> 1:59:37.600 A holistic plan about where it would go and how 1:59:37.680 --> 1:59:38.040 it fits. 1:59:38.080 --> 1:59:41.240 So we need a proactive approach that brings local governments 1:59:41.280 --> 1:59:44.120 and local communities on the journey. We can do it, 1:59:44.160 --> 1:59:46.440 I mean person, I mean I think our centers would 1:59:46.480 --> 1:59:48.959 benefit from people. Often we're not the mayor of Fremantle. 1:59:49.040 --> 1:59:51.480 I'd always say that all Fremantle needed to be better 1:59:51.600 --> 1:59:54.000 with more people, and I think the same appliers the Midland. 1:59:54.000 --> 1:59:57.680 The same applies to Armadale and the Drin Dealer. Let's 1:59:57.880 --> 1:59:59.760 get more people in our centers. And the way we 1:59:59.840 --> 2:00:02.080 do that is by working with communities and local government 2:00:02.240 --> 2:00:05.000 and ultimately the state government who need to provide infrastructure. 2:00:05.520 --> 2:00:07.680 Altogether, we can actually make our city much better. We 2:00:07.720 --> 2:00:10.560 shouldn't be afraid of density. Actually in the right location, 2:00:11.680 --> 2:00:12.440 lilesially makes. 2:00:12.320 --> 2:00:14.360 Faces better one double three two. 2:00:14.440 --> 2:00:14.600 Take. 2:00:14.640 --> 2:00:16.640 This is a compliment from Tom. He says he may 2:00:16.680 --> 2:00:18.840 have gone mad, Brad, but he sees some sense in 2:00:18.920 --> 2:00:21.520 what you're saying about the Western somebody's pulling their weight 2:00:21.560 --> 2:00:24.800 and allowing infield housing may free up some housing and 2:00:24.880 --> 2:00:28.240 allow people wanting to scale down on their home size. 2:00:29.480 --> 2:00:30.040 Yeah, that's right. 2:00:30.080 --> 2:00:31.840 And that's the other key thing is there plenty of 2:00:31.840 --> 2:00:34.240 people want an age in place. You know, someone who 2:00:34.280 --> 2:00:36.320 lives in colors Folds can keep that example going. And 2:00:36.360 --> 2:00:38.480 they're big four x two on the block. They want 2:00:38.520 --> 2:00:40.120 to stay in their community. That's where their friends are. 2:00:40.200 --> 2:00:43.600 But they're rattling around. A couple other kids have gone 2:00:44.440 --> 2:00:46.720 where are the places that they can downsize into? 2:00:46.880 --> 2:00:48.000 And then when they're downside, it. 2:00:48.040 --> 2:00:50.360 Means more people can come in. So everyone wins if 2:00:50.400 --> 2:00:52.879 we've got that right mix of housing. But we shouldn't 2:00:52.880 --> 2:00:54.720 expect people to have to go to a different suburb 2:00:54.760 --> 2:00:57.320 because there's nowhere to nowhere else sit downside too one. 2:00:57.280 --> 2:00:59.200 Double three Adaly two. We'll go to the phones in 2:00:59.320 --> 2:01:02.480 just a moment. I've had the safternoon of the Legislative Council. 2:01:03.120 --> 2:01:05.200 You called on the government to provide an update on 2:01:05.280 --> 2:01:08.720 their progress towards the recommendations of that inquiry into the 2:01:08.760 --> 2:01:11.920 funding of homelessness services in WA and I believe that 2:01:12.080 --> 2:01:14.920 your Housing at Homelessness colleague Tim Clifford, has had a 2:01:14.960 --> 2:01:17.520 bit of a win moving emotion he did. 2:01:18.080 --> 2:01:20.960 Tim did a very good job and actually eventually got 2:01:21.000 --> 2:01:24.360 the government even to support the motion. Look, and it 2:01:24.560 --> 2:01:27.760 calls the government to get serious about ending homelessness. We've 2:01:27.840 --> 2:01:30.440 gone backwards in terms of the amount of rough sleepers, 2:01:30.480 --> 2:01:32.560 the amount of people who are homeless, and of course 2:01:32.600 --> 2:01:35.480 our housing weight lists and government can fix this, but 2:01:35.560 --> 2:01:38.280 it's got a fund it properly. And so we've got 2:01:38.360 --> 2:01:41.120 government now reporting back in September on how they're making 2:01:41.200 --> 2:01:44.240 progress on the homelessess strategy, which would be the first 2:01:44.240 --> 2:01:46.920 time they've done that since the inquiry back in more 2:01:46.960 --> 2:01:48.880 than two years ago in twenty twenty three. 2:01:49.080 --> 2:01:50.840 So when do they have to report back by Brad, 2:01:50.880 --> 2:01:52.400 what have you got to a couple of weeks or 2:01:52.440 --> 2:01:55.000 a month, No, I need to September. 2:01:55.320 --> 2:01:57.080 We originally said August, but they asked for a bit 2:01:57.120 --> 2:01:59.680 more time, but which we agree to. So that got 2:01:59.680 --> 2:02:02.240 everyone over the line in supporting it. And I think 2:02:02.280 --> 2:02:03.800 this is a really key thing because we saw a 2:02:03.840 --> 2:02:06.120 budget that just came down there was only ten million 2:02:06.160 --> 2:02:09.640 dollars more for homelessess services and when we're spending six 2:02:09.720 --> 2:02:12.920 times more than that on a new NRL team. Here 2:02:13.040 --> 2:02:16.000 is it's about priorities if we're serious about any homelesses. 2:02:16.040 --> 2:02:19.600 And I would say government committed made a promise in 2:02:19.680 --> 2:02:22.880 their strategy to end homelesses by tweeny twenty five. Here 2:02:22.880 --> 2:02:25.240 we are in twenty twenty five with more homeless and 2:02:25.360 --> 2:02:28.520 rough people experiencing rough sleeping and homelessness than ever before. 2:02:28.600 --> 2:02:31.600 And those support services, those charities have never been busier, Brad. 2:02:31.640 --> 2:02:33.280 And that's not going to slow for any time soon, 2:02:33.480 --> 2:02:35.960 you know, down to what we've got six degrees today, 2:02:35.960 --> 2:02:37.560 it could be even colder than that. It's it's a 2:02:37.640 --> 2:02:38.960 tough night ahead for a lot of people. 2:02:39.960 --> 2:02:43.000 Yeah, no exactly. And I think, look, I really hope 2:02:43.000 --> 2:02:45.720 what this new parliament where we do now have you 2:02:45.920 --> 2:02:48.280 the balance of power and we've been work across the 2:02:48.360 --> 2:02:50.680 tamber to get better outcomes for those people in the 2:02:50.680 --> 2:02:52.240 community and that's good for everybody. 2:02:52.400 --> 2:02:55.320 Brad Betett, thanks for your time today. Thanks olein the 2:02:55.520 --> 2:02:59.200 WA Green's leader one double three eight eighty two. The 2:02:59.560 --> 2:03:04.040 Greens a win on the homelessness strategy of the government 2:03:04.080 --> 2:03:07.280 and having a report back by September. But what do 2:03:07.360 --> 2:03:10.640 you think should there be apartments built around every train 2:03:10.720 --> 2:03:14.480 station on the Frio line? Should the Frio line be 2:03:14.720 --> 2:03:19.520 now put undergrounds? And do we need to break up 2:03:20.360 --> 2:03:24.520 or reform the councils, that is your local government's planning 2:03:24.600 --> 2:03:28.520 processes to align with what the state government's planning priorities. 2:03:28.560 --> 2:03:30.600 Are we wasting time? It's going back and forward out 2:03:30.640 --> 2:03:35.320 of councils, the jade Apps, planning commissions and the like. 2:03:35.440 --> 2:03:38.120 One double three eight eighty two. Get a Brad. 2:03:39.480 --> 2:03:40.240 Can I here go on? 2:03:40.480 --> 2:03:40.800 I'm good? 2:03:41.040 --> 2:03:41.400 What do you reckon? 2:03:41.440 --> 2:03:41.680 I just. 2:03:43.200 --> 2:03:45.600 Want to talk about this urban density that Brad's gone 2:03:45.640 --> 2:03:49.840 on about. If West Australia was its own country, it 2:03:49.880 --> 2:03:52.560 would be the eleventh biggest country in the world by area. 2:03:53.440 --> 2:03:56.880 Our population there would be one hundred and forty third 2:03:57.080 --> 2:04:01.960 in the world. We have more and people than anybody. 2:04:01.600 --> 2:04:03.440 Else in the world. Only there's a couple of little 2:04:03.480 --> 2:04:06.480 islands that would come in forth on more space. 2:04:07.000 --> 2:04:07.720 That's what we've got. 2:04:08.440 --> 2:04:11.000 What's that big deal about tram and everyone in next 2:04:11.040 --> 2:04:11.600 door to each other? 2:04:11.640 --> 2:04:14.400 Because I think it's also about infrastructure. Brand It's about 2:04:14.440 --> 2:04:16.840 the power, it's about the water, it's about the train lines, 2:04:16.880 --> 2:04:19.760 it's about the roads. And you know, you keep going out, 2:04:20.080 --> 2:04:22.720 you keep going right as in you look at the 2:04:22.760 --> 2:04:26.400 map of Australia East and then all of a sudden 2:04:26.440 --> 2:04:29.280 you've got more infrastructure, got to build more hospitals. Obviously 2:04:29.280 --> 2:04:31.640 you still got to build them. But do we don't 2:04:31.640 --> 2:04:34.560 have the population yet? Do we, Brad, to continue to 2:04:34.640 --> 2:04:35.720 go north southeast? 2:04:37.440 --> 2:04:37.960 I think we do. 2:04:38.440 --> 2:04:40.200 I think it's just the developers that don't want to 2:04:40.200 --> 2:04:45.040 spend the money on the roads and so on, sewers 2:04:45.120 --> 2:04:47.960 and things that are bursting because there's so many people 2:04:48.000 --> 2:04:49.000 in this infield stuff. 2:04:50.240 --> 2:04:52.000 There's a lot of headache, an't there, Brad, when you 2:04:52.080 --> 2:04:54.200 put it into that context, make thank you very much 2:04:54.240 --> 2:04:56.680 for your call. But you know the issue is these 2:04:56.840 --> 2:05:00.160 apartment developers so they can't turn a profit. You're not 2:05:00.200 --> 2:05:02.560 turning the sods. They're not actually getting on with the 2:05:02.640 --> 2:05:05.800 job now one double three eight at he so keep 2:05:05.800 --> 2:05:08.560 the calls coming through. Twenty four after four rob of 2:05:08.880 --> 2:05:12.840 South Perth sears Brad Pettitt hit the nail on the head. 2:05:13.920 --> 2:05:17.840 Richardson Street, South Perth and Preston Street Como, they're right 2:05:17.960 --> 2:05:20.640 next to the Mandra line. They are prime for high density, 2:05:21.520 --> 2:05:25.360 transit oriented developments. Glad this type of planning has been 2:05:25.400 --> 2:05:29.120 put on the agenda for Perth's urban planning. Andrew says, no, 2:05:29.280 --> 2:05:32.040 we don't need the density. Brad and his cronies are peddling. 2:05:32.720 --> 2:05:34.400 The only reason they want to do this so along 2:05:34.480 --> 2:05:36.840 the Western Suburbs train line is to increase the level 2:05:36.880 --> 2:05:40.080 of social housing in these areas and direct the voted 2:05:40.120 --> 2:05:44.640 demographic look at the dammag cheated de frio changing planning 2:05:44.680 --> 2:05:47.640 schemes with more to come along South Street. It's an 2:05:47.680 --> 2:05:51.720 ideological agenda to change our standard life. We have so 2:05:51.880 --> 2:05:55.440 much room between Mandra Yanchep and the hills. Why try 2:05:55.520 --> 2:05:58.720 to be like a country We are not and ready 2:05:58.760 --> 2:06:04.800 to become many many generations barry from Greenmount Reckons. Apartments 2:06:04.840 --> 2:06:08.160 at every railway station are required and undergrounding the Frio 2:06:08.280 --> 2:06:10.920 line is of financial no hoper, Ollie, it would be 2:06:11.000 --> 2:06:14.640 way too expensive. Let's hit the phones one, double three 2:06:14.880 --> 2:06:18.440 at two. Hello, Marny, Hey. 2:06:18.320 --> 2:06:19.440 Olie, are you doing good? 2:06:19.480 --> 2:06:20.000 What do you think? 2:06:21.120 --> 2:06:21.280 Oh? 2:06:21.440 --> 2:06:24.760 Look, we are fighting our own fight in the woods. 2:06:24.800 --> 2:06:29.240 We've got developers who are trying to make a profit 2:06:29.800 --> 2:06:33.200 down near the call site, and we've just discovered that 2:06:33.720 --> 2:06:38.320 everything has gone sort of very quietly without proper counsel, 2:06:38.400 --> 2:06:42.320 without any sort of consideration for the community. And we've 2:06:42.360 --> 2:06:45.960 got a potential fifty unit complex for one hundred percent 2:06:46.040 --> 2:06:49.560 social housing because John Kerry basically wants it. 2:06:49.600 --> 2:06:52.800 That way, right, So so bypassing the council and going 2:06:52.800 --> 2:06:55.160 where to the Planning Commission to make the decision? 2:06:55.240 --> 2:06:58.720 Is it Marni, Yep, exactly, it's it's fours under eleven 2:06:58.800 --> 2:07:03.120 B which happened during cod and the you know, twenty 2:07:03.160 --> 2:07:05.920 twenty two. John was happy to say that one hundred 2:07:05.920 --> 2:07:09.720 percent social housing sort of enclaves don't work. Yet he's 2:07:09.760 --> 2:07:12.959 done it to Inglewood twice, and it's happening all over Perth. 2:07:13.160 --> 2:07:14.920 And you get no say in it. You'd like to 2:07:15.000 --> 2:07:16.600 be able to contribute to what's happening. 2:07:17.880 --> 2:07:21.200 We've already been to planning, We've been to council. We 2:07:21.360 --> 2:07:24.960 have been, we have been through every single avenue we can, 2:07:25.240 --> 2:07:28.800 and council get ignored. And it's because the state government 2:07:28.840 --> 2:07:29.920 can do whatever they want. 2:07:30.320 --> 2:07:33.000 So this is the Beaufort Street project. I think a 2:07:33.240 --> 2:07:36.000 Minister Kerry might have put this up on his social 2:07:36.080 --> 2:07:38.400 media accounts earlier this year. Money is that the one 2:07:38.480 --> 2:07:41.160 that's got a couple of pitches hanging about. 2:07:41.640 --> 2:07:46.080 Flu under the over fifty five sort of little sort 2:07:46.080 --> 2:07:50.680 of guys. And I'm ensure our aging population definitely need 2:07:50.960 --> 2:07:54.880 housing and we are so not against social housing. We're 2:07:54.920 --> 2:07:58.760 against one hundred percent social. We wanted mixed tenure. This 2:07:58.920 --> 2:08:03.240 original development had commercial on the ground floor and then 2:08:03.320 --> 2:08:07.200 mixed tenure affordable housing rent to buy with you know, 2:08:07.360 --> 2:08:10.840 the percentage of social. And it's turned into one hundred 2:08:10.840 --> 2:08:14.839 percent social from ground floor up, so not even commercial 2:08:14.880 --> 2:08:17.200 on the ground floor. It is beyond the joke. 2:08:17.560 --> 2:08:21.240 I thought the idea moving forward though, was to integrate 2:08:21.600 --> 2:08:25.520 private social public housing across the metropolitan area, not just 2:08:25.600 --> 2:08:27.760 have one area that's social housing or one area that's 2:08:27.800 --> 2:08:28.440 public housing. 2:08:29.680 --> 2:08:32.960 Absolutely well, that's what we were sort of thinking was 2:08:33.000 --> 2:08:36.440 going to be happening. But well, I mean we made 2:08:36.480 --> 2:08:39.480 a movie an upset in Parliament when we are we 2:08:39.600 --> 2:08:42.400 upset that Apple car but he just he doesn't care 2:08:42.520 --> 2:08:46.440 to listen. And it is more than Inglewood. We know 2:08:46.520 --> 2:08:49.000 this is happening all over us. So we just don't 2:08:49.080 --> 2:08:52.560 understand how this state government can do this to wa 2:08:52.600 --> 2:08:54.440 We're going to end up with Browny powers again. 2:08:54.960 --> 2:08:56.840 Yeah, I thought that's what they were trying to avoid, Marny. 2:08:56.920 --> 2:08:59.280 Thanks for you call, Helen, says. Brad Pitt turned the Frio, 2:08:59.400 --> 2:09:01.880 parks and seed and a homeless refuge to get himself 2:09:01.920 --> 2:09:04.880 elected into parliament. Where's the solutions for freo? 2:09:04.960 --> 2:09:05.200 Brad? 2:09:05.240 --> 2:09:07.360 I'm still waiting for a big spooker and there hasn't 2:09:07.400 --> 2:09:11.600 been much action and yes to density, but if John 2:09:11.680 --> 2:09:14.480 Kerry continues to create one hundred percent social housing ghettos 2:09:14.600 --> 2:09:17.000 like he's doing in Inglewood that Marty just touched on, 2:09:17.600 --> 2:09:20.720 we're going to go backwards quickly, mixed tenure or ace John. 2:09:20.760 --> 2:09:24.760 I'm a business owner and a voice for a safer Inglewood. 2:09:25.240 --> 2:09:28.480 Hi Irene, oh hi Ollie. 2:09:29.400 --> 2:09:31.520 How often is the showground us? 2:09:31.600 --> 2:09:33.560 Why don't we move the show grounds? 2:09:33.760 --> 2:09:33.880 Oh? 2:09:34.000 --> 2:09:37.720 Yeah? Where would we take the show you reckon then, Irene, 2:09:37.800 --> 2:09:39.360 where would you like to move the show to? 2:09:40.760 --> 2:09:43.000 Oh, well up. 2:09:44.360 --> 2:09:46.840 Maybe Midland to the hills. That'd be all right, I 2:09:46.920 --> 2:09:49.720 mean that land that'd be very valuab wouldn't it around Clermont? 2:09:50.920 --> 2:09:55.720 It would, yes, But you know it would give a 2:09:55.840 --> 2:09:56.960 lot of home, wouldn't it. 2:09:57.560 --> 2:09:59.160 It would there you go, there's a bit of thinking 2:09:59.240 --> 2:10:02.160 from Irene, you know, sink the ralway line or sell 2:10:02.200 --> 2:10:05.600 the showgrounds, Mick says, in regards to sinking all the 2:10:05.640 --> 2:10:08.880 Freo train line stations, can wa really afford more billions 2:10:08.920 --> 2:10:12.720 added to the bushwinning twelve billion dollars Metro debts? Health 2:10:12.840 --> 2:10:15.280 is much more important if it was cost neutral. Though 2:10:15.320 --> 2:10:17.360 me let's just say for a nice round figure, it 2:10:17.440 --> 2:10:19.600 was going to cost twenty billion dollars to sink the 2:10:19.720 --> 2:10:22.120 railway line. Probably wouldn't be that name. It would the 2:10:22.240 --> 2:10:24.360 land above ground to be worth that, wouldn't it? Bang 2:10:24.440 --> 2:10:29.280 bang done, saltz so, Mick john says. Social housing where 2:10:29.320 --> 2:10:33.760 they shut an a brigade live, God help him, Hi, Frank. 2:10:34.880 --> 2:10:38.760 Hi only listened thirty years ago. They went through the 2:10:38.880 --> 2:10:45.120 metropolitan area. Lockriage took out about or probably sixty or 2:10:45.240 --> 2:10:50.600 seventy townhouses, the two story places. Now you're going back 2:10:50.640 --> 2:10:54.520 to the old problem where the social part of it 2:10:54.800 --> 2:11:00.400 was unacceptable. So now you're building high rise again causing 2:11:00.440 --> 2:11:01.800 the same bloody problem. 2:11:01.960 --> 2:11:04.120 Yeah, that's it, the same bloody problems. 2:11:04.200 --> 2:11:04.400 Frank. 2:11:04.440 --> 2:11:07.280 Can you just see history repeating itself? I mean, look 2:11:07.320 --> 2:11:09.520 at some of the concerns just raised by Marni before 2:11:10.040 --> 2:11:13.280 the government needs to build accommodation instead of buying existing buildings. 2:11:13.560 --> 2:11:16.680 What happened to Frio forty to fifty years ago, bustling 2:11:16.720 --> 2:11:18.640 in the city center. Now he could put a gunshot 2:11:18.680 --> 2:11:20.880 through it. What happened I had to be unfair to Frio. 2:11:21.840 --> 2:11:24.800 We had a big day out there a couple of 2:11:25.000 --> 2:11:26.680 Saturdays ago, just to catch up with a few of 2:11:26.760 --> 2:11:29.880 the school dads, and we enjoyed playing the e darts 2:11:29.960 --> 2:11:33.520 and going down to the Norfolk. Great lunch there and 2:11:34.400 --> 2:11:37.120 the National Hotel to have some rooftop drinks, and then 2:11:37.160 --> 2:11:39.760 it ended up at vin Papooli Great doubt and fre 2:11:40.000 --> 2:11:44.880 think it was packed. A wonderful Saturday afternoon. Long lunch 2:11:44.920 --> 2:11:47.280 turned into dinner, one double, three eight totty, two ways 2:11:47.320 --> 2:11:50.440 drink responsibly, John says, petit rec Frio. Don't let him 2:11:50.680 --> 2:11:52.840 Trump up the rest of us. I think that could 2:11:52.840 --> 2:11:55.160 be a reference to something Donald Trump said overnight, just 2:11:56.000 --> 2:11:58.800 saying he used the word he shouldn't have used, should he, 2:12:00.080 --> 2:12:03.320 But it added to the theater. I suppose let's drop 2:12:03.360 --> 2:12:05.240 our standard living more live on top of each other 2:12:05.320 --> 2:12:08.480 works well in pandemics as Wayno, and we need the 2:12:08.520 --> 2:12:11.560 body corporate issues resolved and better designed, not just shoe 2:12:11.600 --> 2:12:15.920 box two bedroom units, thank you. Ian apartments work out 2:12:15.960 --> 2:12:18.800 expensive with strata fees to pay some of them at 2:12:18.920 --> 2:12:20.720 least six thousand a year or so one hundred and 2:12:20.760 --> 2:12:25.040 twenty a week, points out Sue. And it's not that 2:12:25.160 --> 2:12:27.880 Perth people have an obsession with moving further out north, 2:12:27.960 --> 2:12:30.760 south or east, Ollie. It's because all the people can't 2:12:30.800 --> 2:12:33.480 afford to live closer to the city. You see all 2:12:33.480 --> 2:12:35.880 those apartment towers. The average part I can't afford it. 2:12:36.480 --> 2:12:40.680 It's becoming ridiculous. Build more, though well prices come down 2:12:40.720 --> 2:12:43.480 or at least stay the same. Maybe it's an alternative option. 2:12:44.520 --> 2:12:47.040 And Jay reckons Brad Petty is right, but Team Reda 2:12:47.120 --> 2:12:51.839 need to stop spending on pet celebrity projects like fights, wrestling, racing, 2:12:52.200 --> 2:12:56.000 and investing money towards sinking the Frio Railway, finish the 2:12:56.080 --> 2:12:59.800 Frio Bridge, the new Eric Street Bridge, extend the T 2:13:00.240 --> 2:13:03.240 platforms to take eight carriages instead of four like today, 2:13:03.800 --> 2:13:08.080 and investments in other critical infrastructure services to enable sustainable 2:13:08.400 --> 2:13:14.320 Infield A one double three eight eighty two the talkback number. 2:13:14.680 --> 2:13:20.680 Speaking of Donald Trump, he's currently holding a conversation and 2:13:20.760 --> 2:13:22.960 the microphone there at the NATO summit in the Hague, 2:13:23.160 --> 2:13:25.440 and he was asked how he thinks the Israel Iran 2:13:25.560 --> 2:13:26.720 ceasefire is going. 2:13:27.400 --> 2:13:30.800 I think very good. I think very good. Israel came 2:13:30.880 --> 2:13:33.480 back yesterday. I was so proud of them because they 2:13:33.560 --> 2:13:35.680 came back. You know, they went out because they felt 2:13:35.720 --> 2:13:38.840 it was a violation and technically they were right, but 2:13:39.040 --> 2:13:42.760 it just wouldn't have worked out very well. And they 2:13:42.840 --> 2:13:45.120 brought the planes back. They had gone on to another 2:13:45.200 --> 2:13:47.320 journey because there was a little bit of a violation, 2:13:47.480 --> 2:13:50.360 and I said, you got to get him back. And 2:13:50.480 --> 2:13:52.240 they came back and it was a great thing. And 2:13:52.560 --> 2:13:53.440 it's going very well. 2:13:55.720 --> 2:13:59.520 I know it's international relations. But the way that the 2:13:59.720 --> 2:14:04.480 US the president describes things is interesting to say the least. 2:14:04.760 --> 2:14:09.160 James hey Ollie, regarding this train station Infield idea of 2:14:09.320 --> 2:14:13.200 Brad Petee at brad Pettit rather given the current housing shortage. 2:14:13.280 --> 2:14:15.600 I've got a block that I'm wanting to develop for housing. 2:14:16.400 --> 2:14:18.280 It's one hundred meters from the new train station in 2:14:18.400 --> 2:14:21.200 high Wickham. I haven't been able to get started because 2:14:21.240 --> 2:14:24.240 of the government departments Metro need have not yet decided 2:14:24.400 --> 2:14:27.560 on the zoning. Please don't so far, I've been waiting 2:14:27.640 --> 2:14:30.640 six years. This after waiting four years for the train 2:14:30.720 --> 2:14:33.680 line to be completed. No wonder that we have a 2:14:33.760 --> 2:14:38.000 housing shortage. There are three hundred and fifty acres to 2:14:38.080 --> 2:14:40.000 be developed right next to the train line that goes 2:14:40.080 --> 2:14:42.960 under the airport straight into the city. Speaking with the builders, 2:14:43.440 --> 2:14:46.200 many are currently reluctant to do multi story which allows 2:14:46.240 --> 2:14:49.760 the high density. So given these delays, do we have 2:14:49.880 --> 2:14:54.360 to fix this crisis? Irene Goes Bangs says Layton, send 2:14:54.400 --> 2:14:56.680 the show to the city or Belmont Park at Burswood, 2:14:57.160 --> 2:15:01.520 and Mark says Lewin. Barracks in he Frio massively underused. 2:15:01.560 --> 2:15:04.760 Don't think we'd take much to turn barracks into apartments. 2:15:05.520 --> 2:15:09.120 And ultimately, when the port is moved further south towards Quanana, 2:15:10.360 --> 2:15:16.680 there's some development opportunities at the docks one double three 2:15:17.000 --> 2:15:19.720 eight eighty two if you'd like to join the conversation 2:15:20.000 --> 2:15:23.960 in a moment. A warning about some rogue roofie who 2:15:24.040 --> 2:15:29.280 want to rip you off. You don't stop believing Journey 2:15:29.600 --> 2:15:32.160 one of the greatest songs of all time at twenty 2:15:32.360 --> 2:15:37.560 to five. Our warning from Consumer Protection today, we've got 2:15:37.640 --> 2:15:43.600 some roof repair con men back targeting WA homes. Trish 2:15:43.680 --> 2:15:46.800 Blake is the Commissioner at Consumer Protection. Trish is the 2:15:46.840 --> 2:15:49.600 commission and she joins U live on six PR today. 2:15:49.640 --> 2:15:51.280 Good afternoon, It is. 2:15:51.320 --> 2:15:53.680 Good afternoon, Ollie. I think we're going to have to 2:15:53.760 --> 2:15:55.560 have a new name for these con men. We had 2:15:55.600 --> 2:15:57.560 the bitchman bandit, so I'm not sure what we're going 2:15:57.640 --> 2:16:00.920 to call the roof repair cod minute. It doesn't quite 2:16:01.040 --> 2:16:02.480 roll off the tongue in the same way. 2:16:02.600 --> 2:16:06.920 Now it doesn't. We've maybe got some some root, some 2:16:07.080 --> 2:16:09.640 rogue roof repairers. Maybe we could go that way. 2:16:10.600 --> 2:16:13.440 Yeah, yeah, it sounds good to me, but I hate you. 2:16:14.160 --> 2:16:16.080 You know, they're just knocking on people's doors. 2:16:17.200 --> 2:16:20.640 They are, And really the strongest message that I want 2:16:20.720 --> 2:16:23.600 to send out to all your listeners is it's okay 2:16:23.760 --> 2:16:26.640 to close the door on them and say go away, 2:16:26.920 --> 2:16:30.720 I'm not interested. I think sometimes we feel like it's 2:16:30.840 --> 2:16:34.280 rude to close the door in someone's face. These people 2:16:34.560 --> 2:16:37.199 absolutely deserve to have the door closed in their face. 2:16:37.640 --> 2:16:41.039 So what they're doing is they're traveling around Perth at 2:16:41.080 --> 2:16:45.000 the moment, they will come to your home uninvited, unsolicited, 2:16:45.520 --> 2:16:48.360 and they'll offer you they'll tell you your roof needs 2:16:48.440 --> 2:16:50.960 repair work and they'll offer you a quote on the 2:16:51.040 --> 2:16:55.040 spot to do it. There's very high pressure sales tactics 2:16:55.120 --> 2:16:58.960 involved and usually they start the work almost immediately, which 2:16:59.040 --> 2:17:00.800 is an absolute brief the legislation. 2:17:02.080 --> 2:17:06.160 And they've fleeced some elderly West Australians up to about 2:17:06.200 --> 2:17:08.400 eighteen thousand dollars tration at least one example. 2:17:09.360 --> 2:17:13.960 Yeah, absolutely so one couple unfortunately paid. So at the 2:17:14.040 --> 2:17:18.240 moment we're sort of talking around the Southern Suburbs area 2:17:18.280 --> 2:17:23.800 where we've been seeing them, so Hillman Palmelia Hilton around 2:17:23.840 --> 2:17:29.360 those areas. They've gone to one elderly couple's door, you know, 2:17:29.560 --> 2:17:32.400 told them that they needed some work on their roofs, 2:17:32.480 --> 2:17:36.879 some roof cleaning, some tile tuch pointing. Didn't give them 2:17:36.879 --> 2:17:39.560 a formal quote or even write down what the work 2:17:39.879 --> 2:17:44.240 was but turned up on the weekend allegedly did the work, 2:17:44.360 --> 2:17:48.440 although nothing was done. Then told the couple left them 2:17:48.560 --> 2:17:51.760 just a business name and bank account details top them 2:17:51.800 --> 2:17:53.400 to go to the bank and get a check and 2:17:53.520 --> 2:17:57.160 then to deposit the check into the bank. Now, that's 2:17:57.280 --> 2:18:01.520 all seemed incredibly dodgy, and of course the work was 2:18:01.680 --> 2:18:03.960 incredibly poor quality and barely done. 2:18:04.360 --> 2:18:05.600 Didn't the bank stop the couple? 2:18:05.640 --> 2:18:05.800 Though? 2:18:05.840 --> 2:18:07.280 Too true? Shouldn't wasn't it they a bit of a 2:18:07.360 --> 2:18:09.320 red flag? Or they didn't probably know they're going to 2:18:09.360 --> 2:18:11.280 put out in thousand, six hundred and forty five dollars 2:18:11.320 --> 2:18:12.040 on the blank check. 2:18:13.160 --> 2:18:17.800 No, they didn't, so I know. And again though the 2:18:17.879 --> 2:18:20.040 couple would have said, we've had roofwork done and this 2:18:20.200 --> 2:18:22.080 is a bank check for the roofwork. 2:18:22.200 --> 2:18:24.120 So yeah. 2:18:24.600 --> 2:18:29.840 But unfortunately the next couple were quoted about nineteen just 2:18:29.920 --> 2:18:34.080 over nineteen hundred dollars. But this one, again, this is 2:18:34.160 --> 2:18:36.480 the bit that really concerns me as well, is the 2:18:36.560 --> 2:18:39.880 tradesperson stood over them, why they did the bank transfer 2:18:40.520 --> 2:18:43.040 and actually up to it to twenty one hundred and 2:18:43.120 --> 2:18:46.000 forty five, which they said was GST. But it's that 2:18:46.160 --> 2:18:50.360 intimidation and threatening behavior that really concerns us as well. 2:18:50.560 --> 2:18:52.440 So do you know who these people are? Traditional? Do 2:18:52.480 --> 2:18:55.360 you suspect you know who these as Eileen wants to 2:18:55.400 --> 2:18:57.080 turn them ruffians are? 2:18:58.200 --> 2:19:02.040 Yeah, these ruffians are. We think they're very similar to 2:19:02.600 --> 2:19:05.840 the Bitchmind bandits, so we believe that they are probably 2:19:06.080 --> 2:19:09.000 backpackers that have come over. We're not backpackers because backpackers 2:19:09.000 --> 2:19:12.520 are usually good, honest, hard workers. They're roague people that 2:19:12.640 --> 2:19:15.000 come over from overseas. They come and do a blitz 2:19:15.080 --> 2:19:19.840 in our country under false names, false business names, through 2:19:19.879 --> 2:19:22.640 dodgy work, get as much money as they can out 2:19:22.720 --> 2:19:27.360 of our unsuspecting residents, and then leave the country growgs. 2:19:27.360 --> 2:19:29.720 I want to call them roof rest o waterers. That's 2:19:29.720 --> 2:19:30.600 not a bad one. Trash. 2:19:31.400 --> 2:19:34.200 Yeah, yeah, there's some good names there. We'll add those 2:19:34.240 --> 2:19:35.560 to the list. Deerfinitely. 2:19:35.680 --> 2:19:37.320 If somebody's coming knock here on your door thinking you 2:19:37.400 --> 2:19:38.720 might need a bit of roof, as you said, slam 2:19:38.840 --> 2:19:40.560 the door, I don't need it. But if you are 2:19:40.760 --> 2:19:43.320 genuinely thinking I need to get a somebody out to 2:19:43.360 --> 2:19:46.000 look at my roof, I might need a legitimate roof 2:19:46.080 --> 2:19:49.680 restoration like you do with everything. Get those quotes, maybe 2:19:49.760 --> 2:19:51.640 get a few people out to the place to quote 2:19:51.720 --> 2:19:56.400 for you, so you're not caught up in these roof borders. 2:19:56.840 --> 2:19:57.040 Yeah. 2:19:57.360 --> 2:20:00.240 Yeah, Look, if someone is coming to you unsolicited, you 2:20:00.400 --> 2:20:02.840 have to really question their motives in the first instance, 2:20:02.879 --> 2:20:05.959 and they're probably going to over quote an overpriced if 2:20:06.000 --> 2:20:08.360 you think you need work done by all means, you 2:20:08.400 --> 2:20:10.640 can ask these people for a quote, but don't let 2:20:10.720 --> 2:20:13.560 them start any work. So if someone comes to your 2:20:13.640 --> 2:20:16.920 door that without being asked, that's what we call an 2:20:17.040 --> 2:20:20.600 unsolicited consumer agreement. You have a ten day cooling off 2:20:20.720 --> 2:20:24.280 period without fail. They cannot do work in ten days, 2:20:24.320 --> 2:20:26.600 and you can cancel the contract in those ten days. 2:20:27.160 --> 2:20:28.720 What you need to do is then go out and 2:20:28.800 --> 2:20:31.800 get some other quotes. So do your own homework, ask 2:20:31.920 --> 2:20:35.320 people who've had similar work done, or ask your community 2:20:35.400 --> 2:20:39.760 pages on your social media platforms, ask friends, but definitely 2:20:39.840 --> 2:20:42.040 get at least two to three quotes so that you 2:20:42.240 --> 2:20:44.400 know that whether or not you're getting value for money. 2:20:44.680 --> 2:20:47.080 And if these people are trying to bully you into 2:20:47.160 --> 2:20:49.200 doing the work, tell them that you're going to call 2:20:49.240 --> 2:20:51.280 the police straight away, and I'm pretty sure they'll leave 2:20:51.320 --> 2:20:51.680 you alone. 2:20:51.760 --> 2:20:54.520 I'm sure they will when you make these payments. Is 2:20:54.560 --> 2:20:58.320 there a particular payments method that is better than others 2:20:58.480 --> 2:21:00.240 trush to try and protect yours you. 2:21:01.400 --> 2:21:04.000 Yeah, that's a really good question, and definitely credit card 2:21:04.240 --> 2:21:08.320 is the way to pay, and most businesses, legitimate businesses 2:21:08.400 --> 2:21:11.080 will have a capacity for you to pay by credit card. 2:21:11.720 --> 2:21:13.960 The thing being if you pay by credit card and 2:21:14.360 --> 2:21:16.600 there's a dispute about the quality of work or they 2:21:16.640 --> 2:21:18.720 don't do the work, you can go to your bank 2:21:18.760 --> 2:21:20.959 and ask for a charge back. But if you're paying 2:21:21.040 --> 2:21:24.200 by cash or by check or by bank transfer, it's 2:21:24.280 --> 2:21:26.120 almost impossible to get your money back. 2:21:27.120 --> 2:21:29.040 Good on your trash, Appreciate your time. 2:21:30.879 --> 2:21:31.200 Thank you,
