Speaker 1: On Perth six PR. This is Perth Today with Simon Beaumont.
Speaker 2: Yes today everyone, thanks for listening in. I'm Simon Beaumont
Speaker 2: here until one o'clock today. I'd love to hear from
Speaker 2: you talk about radio program when I talk about radio station.
Speaker 2: Phone lines are open one double three eight eighty two
Speaker 2: if you'd like to give us a call, and the
Speaker 2: text lines up and running as well. Zero four eighty seven,
Speaker 2: triple nine A eighty two. The state of origins on
Speaker 2: tonight at OPTAs Stadium, but not according to our daily paper.
Speaker 2: We'll have a little look at that in just a moment.
Speaker 2: Spoke to Milty and Carl about it. I'm not sure
Speaker 2: if you care. Maybe it's just us good luck to
Speaker 2: the Bears if Rugby League isn't going to get any
Speaker 2: coverage at all going forward. Full We on the show today,
Speaker 2: Luise Rai will be in from the RSPC eight with
Speaker 2: some special views, some little mates, and we're going to
Speaker 2: speak to a speech pathologist who has written to federal
Speaker 2: and state ministers. The NDI is carve up for speech
Speaker 2: pathologists and other ancillary health services, has really dried up
Speaker 2: and hasn't changed in the last five or six years
Speaker 2: and a lot of these little businesses are in a
Speaker 2: paralas state. The leader of the opposition, Basil's Emplus, will
Speaker 2: join us after nine point thirty with his Fortnightlygue segment
Speaker 2: and gardening with Sue mcdoodle, Musumik, Sue mcdougalam One, OAM
Speaker 2: Award and OAM in the in the King's Birthday Honors List.
Speaker 2: I think mcdodle might come back to haunt me at
Speaker 2: some stage, and when the bloopers get played, I'll give
Speaker 2: you we had to have a yes no question for
Speaker 2: you in just a moment as well. One of the
Speaker 2: things I'm going to talk to Basle about, because he
Speaker 2: got pretty stroppy in the media yesterday, was the delay
Speaker 2: in smart writer, the delay in us being able to
Speaker 2: use our credit cards to check in and out in
Speaker 2: and out of trains, buses and ferries. I think Pads
Speaker 2: is going to arc up about that today. We've got
Speaker 2: some really old audio for you, going back to twenty
Speaker 2: eighteen when the PTA spoke to this station talking about
Speaker 2: what was coming up. Twenty eighteen. So it's been six
Speaker 2: and a half years in the making and we've still
Speaker 2: got a couple of years to go. Before we can
Speaker 2: tap on tap and go on buses, trains and ferries.
Speaker 2: We'll have a look at that on the show in
Speaker 2: just a moment. I want to try and clear something
Speaker 2: up today. First up, if we can.
Speaker 3: Right, let's clear this up once and for all.
Speaker 2: Yes or no? Have you had the flu this year?
Speaker 2: Have you had the flu this year? A health figure
Speaker 2: show There's been more than double the amount of the
Speaker 2: cases this time last year. Have you had the flu
Speaker 2: this year? Yes or no? And what's it been like?
Speaker 2: So always hear that, you know, we people say I've
Speaker 2: got the flu when you haven't really just got a
Speaker 2: cold or RSV or something like that. But have you
Speaker 2: had the flu this year? What's it been like? Yes
Speaker 2: or no? Have you had the flu this season? It's
Speaker 2: double the number of cases that have been reported to
Speaker 2: hell them. People have been hospitalized as well. People have
Speaker 2: been really crooked this year. Have you had the flu
Speaker 2: this year? With zero four seven, triple nine eighty two?
Speaker 2: Yes or no? Have you had the flu this year?
Speaker 2: Just wanted to mention this today. Milsey and I and
Speaker 2: Carl had a bit of a chat about it. It's
Speaker 2: it's about the coverage of the state of origin, which
Speaker 2: is on tonight, so it will be close to us sellout.
Speaker 2: It was Game one was the most watched TV event
Speaker 2: of the year thus far. Somewhere between three point eight
Speaker 2: and five point four million people watched it. Lots of
Speaker 2: people watched it in Perth, so I wanted I wanted
Speaker 2: to say this, and ultimately I'm concerned what this means
Speaker 2: for the Perth Bears when they come to Perth. Now.
Speaker 2: I'm an AFL fan, A lot of our listeners are.
Speaker 2: I'm a sports fan in general, but I do watched
Speaker 2: the National Rugby League. So the daily paper, the paper
Speaker 2: that we have been reading in citizens, I still regard
Speaker 2: it as our paper. I've been reading it long before
Speaker 2: the current editor and owners turned up have decided to
Speaker 2: almost completely ignore one of the biggest sporting events to
Speaker 2: the year. The state of origin. Now, this is a
Speaker 2: massive deal for the city and the state. The paper
Speaker 2: pretty much ignored it yesterday and gave it almost nothing
Speaker 2: today on page forty six. And I don't reckon Channel
Speaker 2: seven will cover it tonight. Why is that? Because it's
Speaker 2: not broadcast on Channel seven, It's on Channel nine. And
Speaker 2: as Milty said to me earlier on today, it's a
Speaker 2: huge event for the community. It's a huge event for
Speaker 2: Western Australians. For our city, it's a huge event to
Speaker 2: show off our stadium and our city. Imagine if this
Speaker 2: radio station didn't get behind telephone or the Christmas pageant
Speaker 2: because they are shown on another television network. Imagine if
Speaker 2: we did that. And I will say good luck to
Speaker 2: the Bears going forward, a national team being ignored and
Speaker 2: undermined by a dominant local media outlet. So we have
Speaker 2: asked to speak to Anthony de Seglee today, of course,
Speaker 2: a former editor of the paper and the new CEO
Speaker 2: of the Bears, but he's unavailable, is in meetings. He
Speaker 2: has spoken a little earlier to Carls stef Ivanovic on
Speaker 2: the on the Today Show. This is Anthony de Sigley,
Speaker 2: former editor of The West and the new CEO of
Speaker 2: the Perth Bears, chatting de kl on the nine network
Speaker 2: this morning. Have you listen, there's another big issue here
Speaker 2: for anyone trying to break into this AFL town.
Speaker 4: He basically controls.
Speaker 2: The media over here.
Speaker 4: You burnt the village as it were, by leaving seven.
Speaker 2: Where do you find your oxygen?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean look, at the end of the day,
Speaker 5: what I've said to people is you know this is
Speaker 5: an AFL town. There's no doubt about that. The Eagles
Speaker 5: and the docks are big. But like, it's also a
Speaker 5: soccer town. It's also a basketball town. It's a tennis town,
Speaker 5: it's a hockey town, it's a union town, and it'll
Speaker 5: be an NRL town. I mean the main thing about
Speaker 5: West Australians is they love sport of any kind and
Speaker 5: they show up to things. So you know, there'll be
Speaker 5: sixty thousand people at Origin. You know there is a
Speaker 5: huge appetite for this impact.
Speaker 4: The West Australian paper has been less than supportive of
Speaker 4: all of this, and whatever directive is going on there,
Speaker 4: you can do it without it.
Speaker 5: Well, I think the end of the day, we've got
Speaker 5: to earn the right to be in those pages, right, Like,
Speaker 5: if we're winning on the field, if we're winning off
Speaker 5: the field, then I'm sure we'll be in the West
Speaker 5: Australian sports pages. And if we're not, you know, the
Speaker 5: only people missing out will be the readers of the newspaper.
Speaker 2: All right, So there's Anthony DISSECTI former add to the
Speaker 2: West knows a fair bit about the West, and the
Speaker 2: owner of the West and how the network works. But
Speaker 2: it's really clear, really clear that the seven West Media
Speaker 2: group aren't getting behind the NRL because they're not showing it.
Speaker 2: So and as I say, imagine if six PR didn't
Speaker 2: give a nod and a wink and include some of
Speaker 2: our staff at telephone or at the Christmas pageant. Imagine
Speaker 2: if we didn't do that, which is part of the
Speaker 2: town and a really important part of the town and
Speaker 2: what the community does. Imagine that not going to happen.
Speaker 2: Is it different, different set of ethics, business ethics at play?
Speaker 2: I guess yes, no. Have you had the flu this season?
Speaker 2: The yeses are five and the nose eleven. So if
Speaker 2: plenty of people haven't had it, but plenty of people
Speaker 2: have double the number of flu returns, and some people
Speaker 2: have been really crooked one double three eighty two. Andrews says,
Speaker 2: I think the Bears will be okay. There are enough
Speaker 2: key weis Inis the States. People living in Wa these
Speaker 2: days we watch an RL. Thank you, Andrew. Natalie, Hello,
Speaker 2: natal Lee says I hate to break it to you.
Speaker 2: Most Sam Gropers aren't interested in our el and no
Speaker 2: wonder the West is interested, Natalie. They are not interested
Speaker 2: because they're not showing it. Aileen says, no, I haven't
Speaker 2: had the Thank you, Natalie, I haven't had the flu.
Speaker 2: I've had a very nasty cold. If it wasn't flu,
Speaker 2: Thanks Aileen. No, says Linda and Kensing and hello Linda,
Speaker 2: thank you for corresponding with us. I haven't had it.
Speaker 2: Did they have a flu? Jab early?
Speaker 6: You may so.
Speaker 2: I hope they'll stay well. This one here from Chris. Yes, Simon,
Speaker 2: I've had the flu. Sore throat running, no small, four
Speaker 2: days hot lemonon and honey. Thanks Chris. Lots of people
Speaker 2: corresponding with us today. Have you had the flu this
Speaker 2: season already? Rory No, Nope, no flu, no flu Shotory
Speaker 2: things me. Hello, maya morning, Simon, I haven't had the flu.
Speaker 2: Lots of people corresponding with us today, so and if
Speaker 2: you have had it, tell us what it was like.
Speaker 2: Davos says I've got COVID, and he's put a rude
Speaker 2: word in there. I can't read that word, devo, but
Speaker 2: sorry to hear that, mate, Greg. I'm fifty six years
Speaker 2: old and otherwise reasonably fit, and I had the flu
Speaker 2: bad enough that it hospitalized me for four days.
Speaker 7: Wow.
Speaker 2: Sorry to hear that, Greg, it's heavy. Yes, I have
Speaker 2: says John wasn't bad. It was very long. Three weeks
Speaker 2: no COVID comes cropping up a little bit as well.
Speaker 2: Thanks for your correspondence on this. We're asking and fatic noses.
Speaker 2: Chris May, are the health authorities chucking out more scare tactics.
Speaker 2: I don't think so, Chris. I think they're legit, don't
Speaker 2: they Well, why they do that? Nos is? Elizabeth Andrew
Speaker 2: hung around for two weeks. It was no good. Thanks Andrew.
Speaker 2: We'll take a break still to come on the program.
Speaker 2: I'm going talk to Clay Gollig about the flu numbers
Speaker 2: this winter. They are double what they were this time
Speaker 2: last year. After nine thirty, Basil Zemplus will join us.
Speaker 2: He's got a fair headed steam up with regards Caroline
Speaker 2: Spencer's numbers of yesterday. The report at one point six
Speaker 2: billion dollars in budget overruns on it projects around other
Speaker 2: major projects in the city. So well, speak to Baz
Speaker 2: about that bit of a free kick for bas. I'm
Speaker 2: not sure how he's going to frame that up today.
Speaker 2: You just need to get Bas's thoughts too, having, you know,
Speaker 2: being a Channel seven bloke formally what he thinks about
Speaker 2: the coverage of the state of origin. It's on tonight'll
Speaker 2: be big local paper. Doesn't care. Back in a second,
Speaker 2: Clay College joins us. Now he's an infectious diseases expert.
Speaker 2: Good ad, Dr Clay. How are you Yeah, good to
Speaker 2: talk to you. It's been a while. How are you
Speaker 2: going well, you've got a while, yeah, if you had
Speaker 2: the flu?
Speaker 8: Mate.
Speaker 7: In fact, funnily enough, I've had something nasty for the
Speaker 7: last two weeks, severe sore throat, cough, shocking red eyes
Speaker 7: like Dracula. Haven't made a diagnosis, but.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, here's got something dodgy. I'm here that you're
Speaker 2: baffled on. Yeah, good on you, matte. We've been asking
Speaker 2: the question this morning, Clay, yes, no question. Have you
Speaker 2: had the flu? Our listeners are saying no flu yet,
Speaker 2: says Trucky Carol, yummy homemade soup. Shelley says no flu,
Speaker 2: no shot for over ten years, so at the moment
Speaker 2: yet says A ten and nose to twenty four. But
Speaker 2: the numbers presenting to the Hill or being recorded by
Speaker 2: the Health Department of double what they were last year.
Speaker 7: Clay, Yes, in fact, it's very worrying. And remember those
Speaker 7: numbers that are diagnosed to the tip, the very tip
Speaker 7: of the iceberg. So most flu cases in fact don't
Speaker 7: get diagnosed. So you're looking at hundreds of thousands of
Speaker 7: cases potentially probably double what we had last year. And
Speaker 7: this is a phenomenon right across Australia.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so just remind us, Clay, what's the difference
Speaker 2: between a man cold, a cold, and the flu.
Speaker 7: So influenza when it does hit you, it's a really
Speaker 7: nasty illness. Most people have got bad flu will say
Speaker 7: it hit me like a brick or a train. I
Speaker 7: just got knocked over within a couple of hours. So
Speaker 7: it's usually much more severe than just a common cold,
Speaker 7: which might be a bit of a scratchy throat and
Speaker 7: a running nose. With flu, you feel terrible headache, high temperatures,
Speaker 7: muscle aches and pains, sore throat, can feel short of
Speaker 7: breath too because and get into your lungs as well
Speaker 7: and cause in pneumonia, which is one of the things
Speaker 7: we really worry about, and that's what we're actually seeing
Speaker 7: in our inpatients at the hospital at the moment. We're
Speaker 7: seeing a lot more flu than we are COVID and
Speaker 7: some of them are very very nasty.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, so this will happen, so people going
Speaker 2: to hospital. I was one of our listeners that went
Speaker 2: for four days at close. So that's the that's the
Speaker 2: extreme outcome, isn't it having to go to an ed
Speaker 2: and then needing to find.
Speaker 7: A bed yep, and you know something end up in ICU.
Speaker 7: So touch wood for us at Hollywood at least we
Speaker 7: haven't had a directly attributable death. We had a few
Speaker 7: people come close though, So you know, I just keep
Speaker 7: reinforcing prevention better than QRE. I do a regular segment
Speaker 7: with Ross. You probably here on a Sunday, YEP evening,
Speaker 7: and you know, we talk about vaccines all the time,
Speaker 7: and the full vaccine. It's not a perfect vaccine, but
Speaker 7: it's a good one. That's one we all should have.
Speaker 7: It's still free. Our great friends at the w A
Speaker 7: Labor government. Can't such be highly enough of them? Do
Speaker 7: I sound funny with my tongue on my cheek, But no.
Speaker 7: They've made it free from May and June, so and
Speaker 7: they may well extend I don't know for sure, but
Speaker 7: they're talking about extending the free vaccine into July as well.
Speaker 7: So if you haven't had it, don't be sangled about it.
Speaker 7: Go on and get it done.
Speaker 2: All right, Good to talk to you, mate, You do
Speaker 2: sound a bit rasciale. Let you get back to the
Speaker 2: onion eleven. Good on your mate. Thanks Clay both see
Speaker 2: Dr Clay Collige. It's infectious diseases experts. So they've had
Speaker 2: some near some close calls. Of Clay's practice is based
Speaker 2: up at Hollywood. They've had some near close calls there.
Speaker 2: But people presenting to eds with the flu influenza A.
Speaker 2: Have you had the flu this season? The yes is
Speaker 2: are ten and the nose a twenty four. Thanks for
Speaker 2: sending in your thoughts. Lots of people responding to this today.
Speaker 2: Jack says it's an AFL waffle state. That's why the
Speaker 2: paper is reported the way they have Jack. So this
Speaker 2: you know, we cover the waffle in this state. We
Speaker 2: cover the waffle more than we do state of origin.
Speaker 2: Five point four million people watched it the last game
Speaker 2: Australia wide. It's a big deal, Jack, and preciate your thoughts.
Speaker 6: Mate.
Speaker 2: People don't go to the waffle. I go to the waffle.
Speaker 2: There's five hundred people there.
Speaker 6: Mate.
Speaker 2: They go to the finals and I care about Waffle,
Speaker 2: I go, but we're not a you know. That's that
Speaker 2: the Waffle gets more coverage than than the than the
Speaker 2: state of origin would be my point. I appreciate your thoughts,
Speaker 2: and it is an AFL state, a footy state. We
Speaker 2: will know that. Think about this, Jack, if you're a
Speaker 2: West Coast supporter and you haven't particularly enjoyed the last
Speaker 2: three and a half years, watching the Rabbit O's or
Speaker 2: the Dolphins is not a bad option. It's a good game.
Speaker 2: One double three at two. Love to hear from you today, Jason. Yes,
Speaker 2: I've had the flues on the moderate side of average
Speaker 2: at best. Thanks Jackson, good description, mate, that's funny. Love
Speaker 2: to hear from you today. It's a bit of a
Speaker 2: long bow to compare a game of road between New
Speaker 2: South Wales to Queen to Telethon. I guess the point is, David,
Speaker 2: it's about supporting a community event. I know the scale
Speaker 2: of tell I get that, but imagine if we imagine
Speaker 2: if we're here at six PR refuse to mention telephone
Speaker 2: because it's on another network. He's my point. Yes, Telephon's
Speaker 2: a massive deal, always has been, always will be, so
Speaker 2: it should it's unreal. Imagine if we didn't give it
Speaker 2: a nod. Thanks for listening in today, Thanks for your thoughts.
Speaker 2: Really appreciate it. Baslesample, It's not far away. Twenty four
Speaker 2: minutes past nine, Keep your thoughts coming in. Have you
Speaker 2: had the flu this season? The nose of twenty five
Speaker 2: and the yes are twelve and the yeses are saying
Speaker 2: they've been pretty crook on arecms line? Did I?
Speaker 6: Greg?
Speaker 9: Hey, how are you good?
Speaker 2: Thank you?
Speaker 10: Thank you?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 12: I got the flu really bad. Ended up with being
Speaker 12: rushed into rushed into Fiona Stanley, well straight past. I
Speaker 12: knew I was sick when they bypassed all the rampings
Speaker 12: guys and took me straight into a into a bead.
Speaker 2: That's when I thought, oh, hello, yeah, well how old
Speaker 2: are you agreed?
Speaker 12: I'm fifty six and pretty fad yep, and yeah, four
Speaker 12: days I spent in the hospital, very very ill.
Speaker 2: Yeah all right, matey.
Speaker 12: It's no joke for the I think there was the
Speaker 12: call of their saying that the government's faking it or whatever.
Speaker 2: Not trust me, you were faking Hey, Greg, how are
Speaker 2: you going now? You got better?
Speaker 13: Yeah?
Speaker 14: Look, you know what.
Speaker 12: I'm back at work today and the boys hasn't completely
Speaker 12: come back, but I'm otherwise getting back to normal health.
Speaker 14: Yeah, it was a shocking.
Speaker 12: Couple of weeks there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, thanks mate, thanks for talking to us.
Speaker 2: Wonderble three A Daddy two. The figures the number of
Speaker 2: presentations to the health department have been eighty eighty three
Speaker 2: this time. Last year's three four hundred and eighty eight.
Speaker 2: So it's a it's a bad flu season. Quite a
Speaker 2: lot of people have been sick here at six PR.
Speaker 2: But be aware and then try and keep your immune
Speaker 2: system in half decent neck, get some exercising, some healthy
Speaker 2: food and some sleeping, all of that. But it is
Speaker 2: a it is a bad flu season. Thanks for to
Speaker 2: all our listeners. We've been in touch with us today.
Speaker 2: It's twenty seven minutes past nine. This is Perthday. I'm
Speaker 2: Simon Beumont. Thanks your thoughts today where we have a yes,
Speaker 2: no question for you. Have you had the flu? It's
Speaker 2: twice as bad as last year the flu season. No,
Speaker 2: I had the flu. Jab This is Linda, Thank you Linda.
Speaker 2: Nice to hear from you. Barry said I had a
Speaker 2: coral but it was covid no flu if the infectious
Speaker 2: disease guys doesn't know what he's got and we have
Speaker 2: a problem. It's married from Green. It is Clay Gollige
Speaker 2: for Clay, which it is Clay College we're talking about.
Speaker 15: Can I sorry, Simon, I'm just saying hello, good morning.
Speaker 15: I heard you say Clay and I thought, well, that
Speaker 15: must be Clay Gollige talking about infectious diseases. I thought,
Speaker 15: but it doesn't sound like the Clay that I know.
Speaker 15: It mustn't be Clay Gollege. And then the more I listened,
Speaker 15: I thought, oh no, maybe it is how he's crook
Speaker 15: is he is crooked and he's not sure what it
Speaker 15: is has. This is a guy who is at the
Speaker 15: absolute top of his profession, like Clay is recognized, there's
Speaker 15: not only one of the best in the world in
Speaker 15: infectious in Australia in infectious diseases, but globally goes all
Speaker 15: over the place lecturing and giving.
Speaker 2: And he's been sick for two weeks. He doesn't know
Speaker 2: what he's got. That's that's not great. It's not what
Speaker 2: we want to hear it is. It is not Steve
Speaker 2: says fourth day, feeling like kaka, which is Italian word.
Speaker 2: I think wife has it too, and Greek and is
Speaker 2: it the same for the same thing, is it yep, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: it might be slang in both languages actually, but s
Speaker 2: h yeah, you get where we're going. You're same, ladies
Speaker 2: and gentlemen. It's that time of the week help us
Speaker 2: nine on a Wednesday where we get to welcome the
Speaker 2: state opposition leader Basil Zamplus into the studio. Basil, thank
Speaker 2: you for coming in. Hello Bowie, lovely to be with
Speaker 2: you again, and good morning everybody. Three weeks listening hearing
Speaker 2: speaking to a finished of Finny now done and no,
Speaker 2: well it.
Speaker 15: Rolls on, and so all of our engagement and certainly
Speaker 15: my engagement around the state and the around the metro
Speaker 15: area where I've branded as a listening to only because
Speaker 15: it makes it very clear what it is. And coming
Speaker 15: off the last elect as you've heard me say previously,
Speaker 15: there's a need for our state parliamentary team that certainly
Speaker 15: means the leader to connect and reconnect if you like,
Speaker 15: with the liberal values and brand in the community. And
Speaker 15: so the most recent visits have been to the Pilbra
Speaker 15: and a really good insight for me exmounth Port, Headland
Speaker 15: and also Caratha and the issues that they have and
Speaker 15: the great strength that those.
Speaker 2: Regions have as well. So if have you heard anything
Speaker 2: that has surprised you, I wasn't expecting.
Speaker 15: Yeah, well I and as I say this, this is
Speaker 15: exactly why somebody in my position needs to go out
Speaker 15: because I have been well aware that we have a
Speaker 15: housing crisis in Perth. That's been very clear to me,
Speaker 15: certainly my previous role as Lord Mayor and in my
Speaker 15: formative stages of this parliamentary career and obviously representing the
Speaker 15: people of church Lands. But to go up north and
Speaker 15: see how grave the situation is up there with housing,
Speaker 15: public housing, construction of how release of land fore housing,
Speaker 15: it is very clear to me now that this is
Speaker 15: a statewide epidemic. We just can't get enough housing for
Speaker 15: the people that we need. And it's particularly relevant up
Speaker 15: in the towns of Karratha and Port Headland and Xmount
Speaker 15: for example, because they want to grow their communities. You
Speaker 15: grow your community by providing more services and opportunities for
Speaker 15: the people who live there. But to do that you
Speaker 15: need more people living there. And if you can't get
Speaker 15: houses built, you can't grow those communities. And so this
Speaker 15: is the seriousness of the situation. It's not just about
Speaker 15: what's happening here in the city. It's also what's happening
Speaker 15: in our state. And if we want to continue to
Speaker 15: grow our state, to remain the economic powerhouse that it is,
Speaker 15: we need to find ways to get more housing into
Speaker 15: our statewides.
Speaker 2: So what are the people living in Karratha and Heaven
Speaker 2: who need more housing saying to you? And the people
Speaker 2: in the wheat belt in the great Southern what are
Speaker 2: they saying? Is it to do with releasing land essions
Speaker 2: from Western power for headworks? Is it to do is
Speaker 2: labor builders stock? What is it? Or is it all
Speaker 2: of those? Yeah, so it really is all of the above.
Speaker 15: There is a great frustration though, certainly in the regional
Speaker 15: centers about the release of land. They do feel that
Speaker 15: it is not happening fast enough and that it does
Speaker 15: get delayed. There's a huge element of bureaucracy around it.
Speaker 15: And the other thing that everybody listening who's traveled our
Speaker 15: great state would know, And I've traveled to our great state,
Speaker 15: but a long time since I've been to Port Headland,
Speaker 15: Kafa and Xmount specifically, there is vast amounts of land.
Speaker 15: The one thing that we shouldn't have a problem with
Speaker 15: in wa is Land, but land release is an issue.
Speaker 15: It doesn't happen fast enough and it's not happening in
Speaker 15: the right areas. Next Amount, for example, has a large
Speaker 15: plot of land that the state government have said they
Speaker 15: are going to release, intend to release, but for two
Speaker 15: years now it's just been sitting there and the shire
Speaker 15: are ready to go, the locals are ready to go,
Speaker 15: but the land has not been released, and it is
Speaker 15: wholly the growth of the whole region of.
Speaker 2: X Mouth back. Basil's mplus is with us, if you
Speaker 2: want to call it, you cam Wonderble three A eighty two.
Speaker 2: We had Caroline Spencer, the Auditor General in yesterday Basis
Speaker 2: you're standing right where you're standing at the moment, and
Speaker 2: it was a fairly grim tale. One point six billion
Speaker 2: of cost overruns, particularly around it in major projects, and
Speaker 2: one of them is around the fact that we still
Speaker 2: don't have tap and go on their buses, ferries and
Speaker 2: trains have a listen to this. This is David Hines,
Speaker 2: former media guy for the PTA. This is the twenty
Speaker 2: ninth of December Basil twenty twenty two.
Speaker 10: I expect probably by the end of twenty twenty three
Speaker 10: is when we're looking at at the moment to have
Speaker 10: a system which you'll be able to use your phone,
Speaker 10: a credit card or any wearables of you know, your
Speaker 10: Apple watch and so on to do your tag with.
Speaker 2: And we like Heinze, we always liked him. Good fellap
Speaker 2: so and he's he's got that information in front of him.
Speaker 2: He believes it. That's twenty twenty two and one. Spencer
Speaker 2: was in here yesterday saying this is seventy running seventy
Speaker 2: eight months late.
Speaker 15: Six and a half years, six and a half years,
Speaker 15: and so for those and sometimes he ordered a general's
Speaker 15: reports can although she's excellent when communicating them, they can
Speaker 15: be hard to fully understand and get your head around.
Speaker 15: I get it, big numbers projects you're not necessarily familiar with.
Speaker 15: And this audit was into ten it projects. The state
Speaker 15: government are responsible for rolling out ten of those projects,
Speaker 15: and they are at least one point six billion dollars
Speaker 15: or more over, so huge overruns but also not getting
Speaker 15: them delivered. But here's the thing about the project that
Speaker 15: you've mentioned specifically, I think it helps us all understand
Speaker 15: what we're talking about here. Now, there's no one in
Speaker 15: the world currently who doesn't use their phone to tap
Speaker 15: and go and do all of those things when they
Speaker 15: buy their coffee, by their shopping, do their internet banking
Speaker 15: and other things. But you can't do that on our
Speaker 15: trains or buses. They can do it in Sydney and
Speaker 15: they can do it in Melbourne, but they can't do
Speaker 15: it in Perth. And we've been waiting six and a
Speaker 15: half years for this to be rolled out. And why
Speaker 15: is that relevant, Simon, Because when we talk about getting
Speaker 15: things done, we talk about them getting done on time
Speaker 15: and getting down on budget.
Speaker 2: And here's an.
Speaker 15: Example of neither of those two things happening six and
Speaker 15: a half years. Is the delay for the implementation of
Speaker 15: this technology that most people now would consider an everyday
Speaker 15: part of life in all of our areas of life,
Speaker 15: but not on public transport. And the overrun is part
Speaker 15: of the one point six billion dollar overrun in these
Speaker 15: IT projects. That's not acceptable and it goes to the
Speaker 15: delivery on time and on budget of this state government.
Speaker 2: It's an area that they are falling down in badly.
Speaker 2: So Olie is very cleverly picked up listening to Caroline.
Speaker 2: They said, big deal, these numbers are appalling. Big deal.
Speaker 2: She's put it in a report nothing's going to happen.
Speaker 2: So I put that back to you and perhaps to
Speaker 2: not having a having for a period of time a
Speaker 2: genuine content soviety is politically so we do what according
Speaker 2: to well, list what's going to change, Well, they've got
Speaker 2: ninety million members in Parliament, what's going to change?
Speaker 15: Well, we have to We simply have to keep the
Speaker 15: pressure on. It's up to the opposition to continue to
Speaker 15: raise these things on behalf of the public of Western Australia.
Speaker 15: The public of Western Australia through talkback radio and other
Speaker 15: forums have a role to play in that as well.
Speaker 15: What we have to do primarily is let the state
Speaker 15: government know that it's not acceptable, that we expect far
Speaker 15: better and if people in Sydney and Melbourne when they're
Speaker 15: getting on the ferries or the buses or the trains
Speaker 15: can use their mobile phone to tap and go like
Speaker 15: you can with lots of other things here in WA.
Speaker 15: Why is the state government's delay now at six and
Speaker 15: a half years and part of a one point six
Speaker 15: billion dollar overrun, And I'd suggest simon it's because this state.
Speaker 2: Government's priorities have been in other areas.
Speaker 15: Now the irony of this, I suppose the great irony
Speaker 15: of this is that one of those priorities has been Metraine.
Speaker 15: We know that no one would disagree. The state government
Speaker 15: wouldn't disagree. There's a ten billion dollar overrun on that.
Speaker 15: But here's the irony. They're building all of these trains,
Speaker 15: they are crowing about how popular they are or are
Speaker 15: going to be, and yet they are denying people the
Speaker 15: basic technology that would make experiencing those trains or using
Speaker 15: them that much easier and something that we would all
Speaker 15: expect now in twenty twenty five we'd be able to do,
Speaker 15: and we're told that it could be another year, year
Speaker 15: and a half, so it'd be an eight year delay
Speaker 15: in the end, an eight year delay to get this
Speaker 15: technology working.
Speaker 2: It's not good enough. Yeah, it wasn't lost in our
Speaker 2: listens yesterday, bas that's for sure. The other two highlights
Speaker 2: that Caroline Spencer Spencer mentioned yesterday was the technology around
Speaker 2: the high speed trains and the ability for signaling she reckons.
Speaker 2: That's a bigger one than the smart rider one. That's
Speaker 2: a big blowout. And the other ones you mentioned was
Speaker 2: the portal for the registry of firearms. On your listening tour,
Speaker 2: what are regional people saying to you about the gun
Speaker 2: buyback system and the actual portal.
Speaker 15: Yeah, well, there's no doubt, there is no doubt that
Speaker 15: this rollout has not been effective. It has not been
Speaker 15: efficient and has caused legitimate firearms owners difficulty in trying
Speaker 15: to comply with the new regulations. As you know, those
Speaker 15: regulations have now been sent via the numbers in the
Speaker 15: Upper House to a committee and so there will be
Speaker 15: a great examination of that those regulations to see if
Speaker 15: they can't be improved and made better and more user
Speaker 15: friendly to the people who they have captured in the
Speaker 15: wrong way. And there's been admissions from state government that
Speaker 15: they haven't got that right. The Police Minister has said
Speaker 15: that a number of times. I heard very clearly that
Speaker 15: responsible firearms owners feel as though they have been unfairly treated,
Speaker 15: that they've been caught up in the wrong way. And
Speaker 15: then even when trying to do the right thing, ie
Speaker 15: going onto the system, registering, doing all of the things
Speaker 15: that are asked of them, it is not an easy
Speaker 15: process and that's unfair on them because this was not
Speaker 15: intended to be a punishment to those people. It was
Speaker 15: intended to take those firearms that the wrong people have
Speaker 15: out of their hands. Now, there's no questioning the spirit
Speaker 15: of that. Nobody wants the wrong people to have more
Speaker 15: firearms in their hands, no one, But we want the
Speaker 15: responsible firearms owners to be able to do what they
Speaker 15: need to do.
Speaker 2: Speaking of committees that have been formed, it was a
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago after the very sad death of
Speaker 2: a pedestrian in the city. I spoke to you, I
Speaker 2: think on the Monday and you you're urging calm. We
Speaker 2: don't need to have a knee jerk reaction here. The
Speaker 2: highest scooters were taken out of the city of Perth.
Speaker 2: You're all Patch and out of Vincent as well, with
Speaker 2: a benefit of a couple of weeks and then there
Speaker 2: has been a bipartisan parliamentary committee formed on these scooters.
Speaker 2: We told our listeners earlier this week that scooter Heart
Speaker 2: and and Scooterou too. The big shops in Perth are
Speaker 2: looking to close down and some have closed down already
Speaker 2: three weeks later. What's your thoughts on e scooters and
Speaker 2: what could be looming as a sort of the death
Speaker 2: of the black scooter, the ownership of them, and in
Speaker 2: particular how we're enforcing that they behave themselves to the writers.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I've always had a bit of an issue with
Speaker 15: scooters in densely populated pedestrian areas, being on the footpaths,
Speaker 15: and in those areas and for example the pay Street mall,
Speaker 15: where the technology should shut them down. In the case
Speaker 15: of the e writables, the ones that you hire Jagan
Speaker 15: Square for example, or Elizabeth Key, that is where there
Speaker 15: could be serious issues, and tragically we saw exactly that
Speaker 15: sort of event happen in the CBDA. I think the
Speaker 15: progression of this now to a committee to look at
Speaker 15: all of the factors is really sensible and really important.
Speaker 15: I do think the wrong thing to do be for
Speaker 15: a knee jerk reaction and just say ban them all,
Speaker 15: although I absolutely understand why people are almost at the
Speaker 15: end of their tether with the e writables that come
Speaker 15: around souped up writers not wearing helmets, and writers getting
Speaker 15: perilously close to other vehicles or two pedestrians, and so
Speaker 15: making sure the regulations and the enforcement of those regulations
Speaker 15: is tight and right is important. Now the committee might say. Ultimately,
Speaker 15: the committee might say, you know what, We've looked at it,
Speaker 15: and we've looked at other parts of the world, and
Speaker 15: in our view, they're dangerous and shouldn't be allowed. And
Speaker 15: if that's the case, then fair enough. I would understand that.
Speaker 15: But I think it's right that it gets the proper
Speaker 15: prosecution and examination through a committee of the Parliament of
Speaker 15: Western Australia, and that's what it's going to get.
Speaker 2: Thank you Basil's emphasis. Can we take some calls, Bazz,
Speaker 2: I'm going to call in wonderble three eight eighty two.
Speaker 2: Fionass simon another government priorities tourism, how tourism tourists meant
Speaker 2: to pay for fairy buses, et cetera without a smart rider?
Speaker 2: And John says, what about the much hyped and promised
Speaker 2: hospital and Yan chep why not take labor on on
Speaker 2: the cost overruns what they did in the backup of
Speaker 2: their promised hospital And John, that's interesting because that sort
Speaker 2: of goes to the train station out there as well.
Speaker 2: You build the infrastructure and then hopefully people will come.
Speaker 2: But I appreciate John and Fiona your your thoughts. Sixteen
Speaker 2: and a half minutes to ten o'clock more of Baz
Speaker 2: after these one double three eighty two. I'd liked to
Speaker 2: have a chat to Basil Zemplus today he's here to
Speaker 2: take your course. He's with us every Wednesday fortnight. I
Speaker 2: think one of the first things we did when I
Speaker 2: came back to the chair is bas and I had
Speaker 2: a chat when he was the Lord Mayor and we
Speaker 2: put it to the vote and the yes has had it?
Speaker 6: Was it yes?
Speaker 2: No question? Was here you are? Was it your first
Speaker 2: yes no question?
Speaker 16: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I think it was thank you? And about thirty people
Speaker 2: said no, and you said that they were all all
Speaker 2: labor people. It was Daniel Pastorrelli on doc says, but
Speaker 2: how many were the yeses?
Speaker 17: Though?
Speaker 2: They were overwhelming with yeah, Well here I am. So
Speaker 2: it's pretty comprehenive obviously having you in one du three
Speaker 2: eight two if you'd like to give us a shout today.
Speaker 2: And another one of the topics we've covered extensively probably
Speaker 2: the last three months, Basil has been vaping, illegal vaping.
Speaker 2: We asked a question yesterday have vapes won the war
Speaker 2: on vapes? And it was an overwhelming yes. And I
Speaker 2: spoke to Cole Blanch yesterday and he said, well, it's
Speaker 2: not up to us to police vaping. We're not sending
Speaker 2: undercover cops into convenience stores. It's the health department. Have
Speaker 2: you got any thoughts on illegal vaping and do you
Speaker 2: think we've lost the war on them?
Speaker 15: Well, it does feel that way, it doesn't. I'll say
Speaker 15: this more as a dad than I do as the
Speaker 15: leader of the opposition. It does feel as though we're
Speaker 15: almost powerless and without sort of wanting to give too
Speaker 15: much away of weekend sports conversations in other parental groups.
Speaker 15: So I think there is a sense that kids at
Speaker 15: a certain time in their life are probably going to
Speaker 15: give that a go. Now, of course, as parents, you're
Speaker 15: always trying to educate your kids about the good things
Speaker 15: to do in life and the things that they should
Speaker 15: probably try and stay away from. But then also as parents,
Speaker 15: you're trying to build in those mechanisms, aren't you that
Speaker 15: if your kids might make some poorish decisions, they've got
Speaker 15: they've got some values to fall back on that ultimately
Speaker 15: will say well, I've had a bit of a go
Speaker 15: at that.
Speaker 2: That's no good. I need to move away.
Speaker 15: It is a real issue for our community, an issue
Speaker 15: for our society. I'm sure many people listening will go, well,
Speaker 15: this was the issue that we faced with our kids
Speaker 15: with cigarette smoking, and so it's probably not a lot different.
Speaker 15: It's probably not a lot different, but it is. It
Speaker 15: is there, There's no doubt, and it gets spoken a lot,
Speaker 15: a lot by parental groups.
Speaker 2: I know that I guess the point of sale thing
Speaker 2: interests me, and you know you. If you and I
Speaker 2: drove out to a domestic airport today, are out to
Speaker 2: a MinRes landing spot. Most people getting off the flight
Speaker 2: having a chill as soon as they get These are
Speaker 2: older people, right, these are mine workers, so that we're
Speaker 2: people are finding a way to buy them.
Speaker 15: I think what probably alarms us as people who would
Speaker 15: like to think we're able to influence how our state
Speaker 15: runs is the anecdotal conversations that we're here and here
Speaker 15: on talkback radio where oh that shop down there, everybody
Speaker 15: knows you can go in there and buy your vapes.
Speaker 15: And it always seems a bit weird, doesn't it when
Speaker 15: the talkback callers will tell you exactly where those stores are.
Speaker 15: The taxi drivers and the uber drivers will tell you.
Speaker 15: Probably many of the teenage kid cohort and slightly older
Speaker 15: will be able to tell you. Yet for whatever reason,
Speaker 15: we seem powerless to be able to stop it. Now
Speaker 15: we know we're not powerless because if a state government
Speaker 15: decides that is going to be a priority. They can
Speaker 15: crack down on it, and so I suppose ultimately it
Speaker 15: then does go back as cole Blant said, it goes
Speaker 15: back to health and ultimately the state government, and if
Speaker 15: they make a decision we're not going to allow that
Speaker 15: to continue. We're not going to allow the growth of
Speaker 15: that industry, the underground industry. Then they can do something
Speaker 15: about it. It's very clear in the Act what you
Speaker 15: can and can't do. But as you say, no one's
Speaker 15: doing anything about it. It's not a priority. Robin's found
Speaker 15: in Cada Robin.
Speaker 18: Oh, hello, both and Bowie. Now, I'm just looking at
Speaker 18: the first come buyas this is for an adult children,
Speaker 18: which I can't wait for them to leave home. But
Speaker 18: the stamp duty, they have a concession and it cuts out.
Speaker 18: They did raise it from the Grand Summer four thirty
Speaker 18: five to four point fifty. Now it's basically that it
Speaker 18: starts to cut down at five hundred. So there's not
Speaker 18: many houses in Perth for less than five hundred, as
Speaker 18: we're all aware, five hundred thousand.
Speaker 19: Sorry.
Speaker 20: And also the other issue that I've just looked, I've
Speaker 20: been looking.
Speaker 18: I'm reading this right now off of the latest.
Speaker 20: Print out there stamp Sorry, the medium house price in
Speaker 20: Perth and it's seven seventy five thousand. Threshold is the
Speaker 20: upper threshold where it cuts out totally. It's seven hundred thousand.
Speaker 2: So Robin, are you asking about You're saying there should
Speaker 2: be more concessions for or more concessions for concession card
Speaker 2: holds around stamp duty and downsizing or right sizing, whatever
Speaker 2: you call it.
Speaker 20: Yes, but also it could be even now the region
Speaker 20: our in the Perth region, the medium house bryce is
Speaker 20: seven to seventy five in the region it's five hundred
Speaker 20: and thirty five thousand, according that SI average.
Speaker 15: Yeah, all right, and so Robin's point is that those
Speaker 15: concessions are not really going to make much difference. You're
Speaker 15: just not going to be able to get into the
Speaker 15: market and enjoy the benefits of those concessions or even
Speaker 15: go from a big place to a small place. That's
Speaker 15: true now in terms of the first home buyers, we
Speaker 15: note that there was a concession available from the state
Speaker 15: government and at the last election the Liberal Party also
Speaker 15: took a platform with a concession. It was a bigger concession.
Speaker 15: But interestingly, Simon, there's an election coming up in South
Speaker 15: Australia in the not too distant future. They have started
Speaker 15: to outline their policies and the.
Speaker 2: Liberal just by the buy.
Speaker 15: The Liberal Party in South Australia has announced over the
Speaker 15: weekend abolishing stamp duty for first home buyers on existing
Speaker 15: properties of up to one million dollars. Now, I'm not
Speaker 15: saying that that is a policy specifically that the Liberal
Speaker 15: Party of Western Australia will take to the next election,
Speaker 15: but it is clear the sorts of leavers that and
Speaker 15: mechanisms that can be brought into being, and I think
Speaker 15: we would all agree on. Effectively, we're summarizing what Robin said,
Speaker 15: the concessions that are on offer at the moment don't
Speaker 15: help enough people. In fact that they almost don't help
Speaker 15: anyone because you can't get into the market for that price.
Speaker 15: And interesting that in South Australia in the lead up
Speaker 15: to an election a similar idea, but the number that
Speaker 15: they've come up with is up to one million dollars,
Speaker 15: and I would think that we're going to need to
Speaker 15: look at those sorts of incentives at that sort of
Speaker 15: scale if we're going to make a difference to first
Speaker 15: home buyers being able to purchase.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there is also an argument that first pumping
Speaker 2: throwing money at first home buyers doesn't necessarily help the
Speaker 2: overall position of not having enough stock for anybody. Thank you, Basil.
Speaker 2: This one here from Elizabeth. Hi Mary, we'll meet you
Speaker 2: the coffee club just realized and made a meeting point.
Speaker 15: See you shortly. I think that's kind of the wrong plart,
Speaker 15: wrong with the person. Yeah, I wonder which coffee club.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Have you got a favorite? Two favorites
Speaker 2: for me?
Speaker 15: One in Forest Place, yes, just off Forest Place, and
Speaker 15: the one at the Florid Form Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think there's Hazel goes to school out in the valley.
Speaker 2: There's a good one out in Ellenbrook. There's a lot
Speaker 2: of coffee clubs that very reliable, very life, very reliable.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Basil, well done. Thank you for having a
Speaker 2: chat to another Basil in or it's like you never left,
Speaker 2: you never left, Basil in all seriousness, When when can
Speaker 2: you get west Birth back at lead of Oval back
Speaker 2: when they need to?
Speaker 15: But we do play four games there a year, our
Speaker 15: away games against SUBI and against Ease Perth, and I've
Speaker 15: got to say they're my favorite West Perth fixtures of
Speaker 15: the year. Because going back there, I've taken Anthony a
Speaker 15: couple of times and so this is what it used
Speaker 15: to be. Like mate, how good is it West Perth
Speaker 15: playing and leedable and then a coffee or a yochi afterwards.
Speaker 15: We're a journal up now. That's been great for the club.
Speaker 15: That's been actually a huge part of our modern success.
Speaker 15: But the sentimentalists and the many people listening who remember
Speaker 15: West Perth at lead of all Overal, they were glory days.
Speaker 2: And imagine being in East Perth support like me and
Speaker 2: you haven't got an oval and having to walk in there,
Speaker 2: well you're old over you're a OVAL's rectangular now dead
Speaker 2: sick crook in the gut, so would hurt good you too?
Speaker 2: Thank you for coming in or seeing a fortnite good
Speaker 2: basils and plus the leader of the opposition, you voted
Speaker 2: for him to come back in and he'll be with
Speaker 2: us every fortnight. We've got a great story for you
Speaker 2: after ten. We have talked so many times about how
Speaker 2: bureaucracy treats people in a means brooded way. We've got
Speaker 2: a really nice story for you after ten, involving powers
Speaker 2: of attorney, an older lady who's unwell with dementia treated
Speaker 2: beautifully by the authority. Stay listening. Tp KC says in
Speaker 2: New Zealand, there's no stamp duty. Thank you Tom and
Speaker 2: Christine who always likes to put a couple of kisses
Speaker 2: on the her sms's thank you Christine. No flu here
Speaker 2: at an early flu shot to travel with work to
Speaker 2: treat so far. Jeff says, yes, I've had influides in
Speaker 2: influenza A ANDB. My wife was hospitalized with A and
Speaker 2: shared it with me, sharing his caring Thanks Jeff, have
Speaker 2: you had the flu this season? The yeses are eighteen
Speaker 2: and the nose thirty one at this stage. So lots
Speaker 2: of our listeners have have been crook stamp duty stamp dued.
Speaker 2: I think stamp duty is ridiculous to be charged once
Speaker 2: first bought property and peppery's peppery peppery auction should not
Speaker 2: be allowed unless the present houses. Christ there's only people
Speaker 2: on the high end that get the opportunity to buy
Speaker 2: thanks to that correspondent. So yeah, we talk about stamp
Speaker 2: duty a lot. And as Basil said, the trying to
Speaker 2: resolve the housing Cristi and it is massive in the regions.
Speaker 2: A lot of you know, a lot of regional operations,
Speaker 2: privates and public find it difficult to get housing for
Speaker 2: people and it's the probably the number one issue in
Speaker 2: regional w A is the housing shortage and it's complex,
Speaker 2: no one answer having it here from me, I've got
Speaker 2: a really nice, heartwarming story about how a government bureaucracy
Speaker 2: dealt with a woman yesterday who has advanced dementia. Stay listening.
Speaker 2: I'm Simon Benmont ten o'clock now.
Speaker 1: On Perth six PR. This is Perth Today with Simon Beaumont. Yeah,
Speaker 1: thanks for listening in. I'm Simon beau Mine. So we
Speaker 1: are here until one o'clock. I love to hear from
Speaker 1: you one double three, eight to eighty two. Thanks for
Speaker 1: all your correspondence. Have you had the flu this season?
Speaker 1: The nose are thirty one and the yeses are eighteen
Speaker 1: and they're coming in thick and fast from our listeners.
Speaker 1: Kylie says, I haven't had the flu, of had my
Speaker 1: flu shot. My extended family in the Pilberg all had
Speaker 1: the flu a few weeks ago. All said it was
Speaker 1: the most unwell I've ever been. Thanks Kylie, that's no good.
Speaker 1: Keith Keith Simon, wife and kids have had long colds,
Speaker 1: but when tested not out any of the three. I've
Speaker 1: only got a flu bax two weeks ago before they
Speaker 1: did simply a no for me. Thanks Keith, appreciate that, mate,
Speaker 1: and we would love to hear from you today.
Speaker 2: Have you had have you had the flu? Around double
Speaker 2: the number of cases we had to add this time
Speaker 2: last year in terms of Health Department numbers. Spoke to
Speaker 2: Clay Gollies and he says, well, a lot of flu.
Speaker 2: He's not captured in that data, so it's probably more
Speaker 2: so it's a bad flu season. Right eight minutes past ten,
Speaker 2: I'd love to hear from you today, still to come
Speaker 2: on the show. A number of allied health services that
Speaker 2: families can access through the NDIS through the National Disability
Speaker 2: Insurance Scheme might be under threat. So these are things
Speaker 2: like speak, speech pathology, OT physiotherapy services, et cetera. Because
Speaker 2: these little businesses haven't had an increase in their fees,
Speaker 2: their service fees from NDIS for six years. Bringing that
Speaker 2: story just a moment. Speech pathology in particular is incredibly
Speaker 2: important for people who live with a disability, whether their
Speaker 2: little kids learning to speak or whether they're adults. Speech
Speaker 2: pathology is right in the middle of all that. So
Speaker 2: we'll talk to a business owner in just a moment.
Speaker 2: The writings on the wall for a lot of businesses
Speaker 2: that receive money from the NDIS, and the fees haven't
Speaker 2: gone up for six years for these businesses, and they're
Speaker 2: feeling pretty disgruntled, and a lot of them are going
Speaker 2: to the wall. Cover that story in just a moment.
Speaker 2: And I wanted to say so many times here on
Speaker 2: this show and on other shows and six PR, we
Speaker 2: hear about bureaucracies and big systems and big government departments
Speaker 2: being mean to people and being bureaucratic with people. Well,
Speaker 2: we've got the opposite story right here this morning. I reckon.
Speaker 2: Amanda joins us. Now, Hi, Amanda at Simon, how are.
Speaker 9: You going great?
Speaker 18: Thanks?
Speaker 21: Simon?
Speaker 2: How are you going well? So I believe this happened yesterday,
Speaker 2: and this is involves a power of the powers of
Speaker 2: attorney meeting with SAT with stated administered tributleness, and it's
Speaker 2: worked out pretty well. Tell our listeners to what happened.
Speaker 21: Well, just my mum's been diagnosed with early dimentia, but
Speaker 21: it's progressing quite quickly. So, yeah, she's been assessed by
Speaker 21: the doctor and you know, they've concluded that she can
Speaker 21: no longer make financial another decision, so hence having to
Speaker 21: go down the road of appointing us and during power
Speaker 21: of attorney. So which men going to the SAT yesterday?
Speaker 21: And our whole fan like myself and my sister and
Speaker 21: two brothers and sister in law and yeah, and my
Speaker 21: niece came and my dad. So but it was a
Speaker 21: really pretty nervous about it. But it just turned out
Speaker 21: that the senior member that was on the bench yesterday,
Speaker 21: she just made my mom. She was so empowered, so respected.
Speaker 21: It was all about my mum, and it was just
Speaker 21: it turned out to what was could have been, you know,
Speaker 21: a bad situation. You know, we just left feeling as though, yeah,
Speaker 21: the senior member just did the best by our mum.
Speaker 21: And so yeah, I was really really pleased with the process.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's good, isn't it. So was there twelve that
Speaker 2: there was twelve of you?
Speaker 21: Yes? Yeah, yeah, the whole families turned up and we
Speaker 21: went what to expect because we weren't sure, like because
Speaker 21: you hear so many bad I guess that's why they
Speaker 21: have the SAT so that you know, not anyone can
Speaker 21: sign over the parents, you know, in during kind of
Speaker 21: attorneys if your parents are you know, yes, you know struggling.
Speaker 21: So yeah, I guess that's We weren't too sure why
Speaker 21: because we're all happy for my brother to be appointed
Speaker 21: that so we weren't too sure what, you know.
Speaker 7: What to expect.
Speaker 21: But yeah, it was just all about my mum and
Speaker 21: what she wanted and yeah, just my mom felt really
Speaker 21: respected and valued and she felt very specially important because
Speaker 21: the senior member just kept honing in on my mum
Speaker 21: and what my mom wanted and what made her happy
Speaker 21: and things like that. Well, yeah, it was really great.
Speaker 2: She's she was the most important person in the room.
Speaker 2: Can watch you watch your mum's name, Amanda, what's your
Speaker 2: first Margaret? Margaret? So Margaret got well looked after.
Speaker 8: Hey, yes she did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so what do you do You get a sense
Speaker 2: that the senior member of the panel, it was the experience,
Speaker 2: was it her own personality? Was it her character? Is
Speaker 2: was it ultimately enduring power attorneys about all of that?
Speaker 21: Yeah, yeah, just all of that and just being able
Speaker 21: to focus in on where mum was at and just
Speaker 21: making sure that yeah, obviously she could see that the
Speaker 21: family unit that she's my mom's got is there, you know,
Speaker 21: we're all united and everything, but just still the way
Speaker 21: that she honed in on my mom. Yeah, and just
Speaker 21: really got a feel for who my mum was and everything.
Speaker 21: And yeah, she just really I felt like she was
Speaker 21: on our page and yeah, she was very good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, interesting, and yeah, as you say, if twelve of
Speaker 2: you dudes turned up, I guess the panel members going, oh,
Speaker 2: well this is this is good.
Speaker 22: We're yeah, yeah, it.
Speaker 21: Wasn't, just like rather there. I know, it's quite a
Speaker 21: complex situation because it's a family farm involved and other
Speaker 21: bits and pieces, so it's not. It wasn't you know,
Speaker 21: totally straightforward. But yeah, we all it was. It wasn't.
Speaker 21: It is a bad situation, and we just left feeling
Speaker 21: it that it went really well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, really nice to talk to you. Thanks for reaching out,
Speaker 2: and I'm glad it went well. That's good for your
Speaker 2: mum and good for you for you guys, for the
Speaker 2: whole family.
Speaker 21: Hey, yeah, and thanks for hearing my story.
Speaker 2: Thanks, Amanda. Cheers, Amanda. So that happened yesterday. Happy to
Speaker 2: take your calls on that. We do talk about bureaucracies
Speaker 2: being mean to people, systems being mean to people, you know,
Speaker 2: people falling through the cracks. We talk about those stories
Speaker 2: all the time. Just wonder how these things happened. Isn't
Speaker 2: that nice? An active kindness from the state of administive
Speaker 2: tribunal because of the senior panel leader focused on the
Speaker 2: job at hand and took note of what was happening
Speaker 2: and happy to take your call today. When people being
Speaker 2: nice to you? When's the system being nice to you?
Speaker 2: One double three A to eighty two is the is
Speaker 2: the phone number pub down in Frio of the week
Speaker 2: I left my I left my credit card on the floor,
Speaker 2: pub Dan and three hung on to it for me
Speaker 2: for a couple of weeks until I've worked out and
Speaker 2: backtracked what I'd done. Nice, nice, active kindness. People are good,
Speaker 2: aren't They? Mostly are people mostly good listeners. One double
Speaker 2: three A daddy two. Love to hear from you today.
Speaker 2: You know when people be nice and kind and good
Speaker 2: and caring compassionate to you or a member of your gang,
Speaker 2: give me shout talk back topic for you. One double
Speaker 2: three A daddy two You crooked.
Speaker 16: Oh mate, crook of a dog mate, trying to trying
Speaker 16: to do your work at work. If you lifting up
Speaker 16: a pen is like lifting up a dumbell you know,
Speaker 16: you just got no power at all just to just
Speaker 16: to a sertin the parget, just not not to the death.
Speaker 2: How long.
Speaker 16: Was eventually just like yesterday and then you try to
Speaker 16: you've had people at work, work in the conditioned office.
Speaker 16: Yeah yeah, just to catch around everywhere. But yeah, and
Speaker 16: I had the flu shop.
Speaker 2: Four weeks ago, so yeah, okay, all right.
Speaker 16: Just one other thing, Bobie in regards to like the
Speaker 16: rugby and or that, and the you know, not advertising
Speaker 16: on the paper and that I was actually watching the
Speaker 16: FIFA World Cup on Foxtoel last night. And how much
Speaker 16: promotion that the Queensland government has been doing for coming
Speaker 16: purvis the Sunshine Coast is absolutely insane. You know, it
Speaker 16: would be like every break that has been pumped into
Speaker 16: wa doors.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, thanks Stein. And that we'll probably see that
Speaker 2: on the coverage tonight if you so. The way the
Speaker 2: coverage works the state of origin, if you haven't seen
Speaker 2: it before, is nine free to wear have the rights
Speaker 2: and then all the other Foxes and KOs and all
Speaker 2: the streaming kicks in after the game's finished, so you
Speaker 2: will notice that. But I reckon you'll see some advertising
Speaker 2: for Perth because we've pumped some money into it, so
Speaker 2: you know the state government has pumped some money into this.
Speaker 2: It's a big deal getting state of origin. It's a
Speaker 2: really big deal, especially getting the second one when the
Speaker 2: series is still live and you know people are saying, well,
Speaker 2: is it just commercial rivalry? Yes it is, Yes it is.
Speaker 2: It's commercial rivalry. And you know, I've heard that the
Speaker 2: powers that be for NRL have been told quite clearly
Speaker 2: by the Boss you won't get any favors. Ain't going
Speaker 2: to get worse, You're not getting anything fast. One double
Speaker 2: three eight eighty two. Have you experienced a random act
Speaker 2: of kindness as evidenced by Amanda who took who took
Speaker 2: her mum Margaret with eleven of her family members into
Speaker 2: the State of ad Ministry of Tribunal yesterday as part
Speaker 2: of the process and was treated really well by the panel.
Speaker 2: That's good to hear it. I love to hear from you.
Speaker 2: One double three eight eighty two. Are there parts of
Speaker 2: the NDIS carb up which goes to end ancillary services,
Speaker 2: health services, physio speech pathology and the like. Are the
Speaker 2: businesses who provide these services running out of dough stay
Speaker 2: with us back in a second. Thanks listening love to
Speaker 2: hear from you today this lots of correspondence coming in
Speaker 2: from our listeners. Ken says, I had the COVID and
Speaker 2: the flu jab on the first of June. I've had
Speaker 2: the flu for the past two weeks, really bad. Sorry
Speaker 2: to hear that. Keno says, anyone help quickly by a
Speaker 2: state government must have some hooks somewhere in the system
Speaker 2: to help them. Come on, John, no need for that, mate,
Speaker 2: Steve says, Leech Highway backed up to tonquinhowan Q do
Speaker 2: our worlshipool traffic very very full on this one from
Speaker 2: me and great to hear that sat state of a
Speaker 2: ministry tribune and had a lot of empathy for the family,
Speaker 2: not like the state public trustee still doing some nasty
Speaker 2: stuff behind the scenes. Thanks, and I did see that
Speaker 2: story yesterday. Doesn't sound good, doesn't answers no flu for me,
Speaker 2: had the flu shot. We've been made aware of a
Speaker 2: story that affects some of the allied health providers who
Speaker 2: receive money from the NDIS scheme. And Rachel Lockridge joins
Speaker 2: us now she's the principal speech pathologist at Sunshine Speech
Speaker 2: Pathology joins me in the studio. Hello, Rachel Hi Simon,
Speaker 2: good to talk to you.
Speaker 23: Thank you for having me.
Speaker 2: So this has sort of been five or six years
Speaker 2: in a row that fees that are the carved out
Speaker 2: are n dies for cruise like yours, the fees of
Speaker 2: frozen have they?
Speaker 24: Yeah, So last week we got the twenty twenty four
Speaker 24: twenty twenty five price review from the NDIS which did
Speaker 24: put the recommendation in that the cost of services would
Speaker 24: be frozen for about the six year in a row.
Speaker 24: So we have not received any price increases in line
Speaker 24: with CPI, considering we've got rising operational expenses and we're
Speaker 24: also contending with the rising cost of living. Okay, but
Speaker 24: to also add to that, a couple of the allied
Speaker 24: health providers that we work alongside have also taken massive
Speaker 24: decreases in what they can build.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just leading into the MIC a little bit more racily,
Speaker 2: if you will. Thank you. So this is dietitian psychologists,
Speaker 2: physios and guys like you speech pathologists. So the six
Speaker 2: year and what's the bottom line there? What does it
Speaker 2: mean to your business? Seventy five percent of your business
Speaker 2: comes from indos. What does it mean for your business?
Speaker 24: It means that given that the prices I need to
Speaker 24: pay to operate my business. They're increasing. It's making small
Speaker 24: businesses like mine less sustainable.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 24: Yeah, and there's a really high risk of other people clothing.
Speaker 2: Other people going to the wall. So you have written
Speaker 2: to I know you've written it's about every politician in
Speaker 2: this state and federal to make some noise about this.
Speaker 2: Do you have any support politically do you think and
Speaker 2: is it Australia wide?
Speaker 24: This is Australia wide. One of the responses we had
Speaker 24: was a very generic correspond to it didn't really give
Speaker 24: us any support. I have written to my local MPs
Speaker 24: and a few people are beginning to write back in
Speaker 24: say they're listening, But we haven't had any significant support
Speaker 24: as of yet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so at this stage it's not necessarily impacting. So
Speaker 2: people who work with me here have family members who
Speaker 2: require provide NDIS funding and provision health provision. A couple
Speaker 2: of them work really closely with me, and they and
Speaker 2: these are adults that we're talking about, they're kids necessarily,
Speaker 2: So our listeners, the citizens and pundas listening out there,
Speaker 2: they might not necessarily know about this. As far as
Speaker 2: they know that they've got a service, they can access,
Speaker 2: but the businesses behind it are hemorrhaging.
Speaker 24: We are hemorrhaging. And if we continue to hemorrhage, there
Speaker 24: are a number of businesses I know who they've already
Speaker 24: let staff go because they were having to choose between
Speaker 24: putting food on their own table or paying their staff.
Speaker 24: And that's not a decision anyone should have to make.
Speaker 24: And also if that happens and business start to close,
Speaker 24: there's going to be longer wait lists, which means the
Speaker 24: accessed early intervention is going to dwindle and more people
Speaker 24: are at.
Speaker 2: So for a speech pathologist, you're a mobile service and
Speaker 2: you operate sort of mostly north of the river. Are
Speaker 2: you who your biggest client base? Is it parents providing
Speaker 2: speech pathology early intervention for the kids? Is it adults?
Speaker 2: Is it ongoing?
Speaker 6: What is it?
Speaker 11: So?
Speaker 24: My case load range is between two years old to
Speaker 24: about seventeen years old, and I'm anywhere between homes, daycarees, schools,
Speaker 24: and community visits.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, And the fact that you've had a
Speaker 2: price freeze and you're facing another one for another year
Speaker 2: at least another year, means that your business is now
Speaker 2: in a parlor state. Yes, yep. And is that what
Speaker 2: the physios are saying, the dietitians, the sights are saying
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 24: Everyone everyone is feeling the pressure now, and we're all
Speaker 24: kind of rallying together to try and get this decision
Speaker 24: revoked because this falls apart the only people who are
Speaker 24: going to be left in the position of needing more
Speaker 24: help for the kids.
Speaker 2: Yeah. This is Rachel Lockridge, principal speech pathologists from Sunshine
Speaker 2: Speech Pathology. A lot of my predecessors who've sat in
Speaker 2: this chair Rachel, have spoken about the NDIS and I've listened.
Speaker 2: In broad terms, it seems it's oversubscribed. It's an incredibly
Speaker 2: popular federal government initiative, but we often hear about the
Speaker 2: difficulty in accessing services back of house, you know, the
Speaker 2: people wanting to spend all them make sure they get
Speaker 2: their allocation, their annual allocation, trying to spend it as
Speaker 2: best they can it can be for gardening, cleaning, speech pathology, whatever.
Speaker 2: So it would seem that the landing of NDIS is
Speaker 2: still far from perfect.
Speaker 24: Absolutely still far from perfect. There's a long way to go.
Speaker 24: The NDIS. The whole kind of point of the system
Speaker 24: was to build capacity and build independence. And if we're
Speaker 24: taking away opportunity for us to engage with our participants.
Speaker 24: We're just going to send the system backwards and there's
Speaker 24: going to be more dependent and more pressure on the
Speaker 24: public health and education systems as well.
Speaker 2: Could you, as a business owner and as a smart
Speaker 2: business owner, can you adjust your mix and move away
Speaker 2: from NDIS provision and keep your mobile service going, but
Speaker 2: moving to a different parts of the sector.
Speaker 24: I can definitely take on more privately paying clients. However,
Speaker 24: given the cost of living, that's really hard for people
Speaker 24: to access at the moment. And given that I'm in
Speaker 24: the pediatric world, a lot of my clients do you
Speaker 24: come through with diagnoses such as autism, young syndrome, cerebral palsy.
Speaker 24: So most of my clients are in the disability background,
Speaker 24: and that's where my specialty is.
Speaker 2: By sure, it is harder for me. And you know,
Speaker 2: it's not glib to s or dumbing down to say
Speaker 2: those they are people who struggle to speak and articulate
Speaker 2: and communicate an that's that's obvious, and so that's it's
Speaker 2: a service that's required. If you had a magic wand
Speaker 2: now you've got the letter out there, hopefully the letter
Speaker 2: people listening to the noise you're making. If you had
Speaker 2: a magic wand what would you say to the end,
Speaker 2: to NDIS or that all that or the minister running it, I.
Speaker 24: Would say, please revoke your decision to have travel funding
Speaker 24: and impact people regionally and rurally. Please revoke your decision
Speaker 24: to cut costs for physios dietetic psychologists. And please increase
Speaker 24: our billing rate to be in line with CPI so
Speaker 24: that we can meet our bottom lines.
Speaker 2: All right, because as you say, if you guys start
Speaker 2: going under start doing other work, that puts even more
Speaker 2: pressure on what is an oversubscribed system as it is. Yep, Yeah,
Speaker 2: all right, Rachel, thank you very much for coming in.
Speaker 2: Anything else I need to know or our listens need
Speaker 2: to know, we miss anything.
Speaker 24: Just if you can make noise as well, The more
Speaker 24: noise we make, the more opportunity we have for the
Speaker 24: NDAA to hear us.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, thanks for coming in, Thanks having chat
Speaker 2: to us. Thank you so much, Well done. Rachel Lockridge,
Speaker 2: Principal speech pathologist at Sunshine Speech Pathology. So talking to
Speaker 2: Seannann about this. My two colleagues here, they have family
Speaker 2: members that require services, health services as provided and funded
Speaker 2: by the NDEs and it's not using and accessing the system.
Speaker 2: And we now have a situation where some of these
Speaker 2: businesses will go to the wall unless they get a
Speaker 2: greater carve up out of the ndies because they're simply
Speaker 2: not meeting their operational costs. I'd love to hear from
Speaker 2: you one double three A two if that is the case,
Speaker 2: if you are a user of NDIS and I know
Speaker 2: Gaza and Bartlett and predecessors here have covered this subject
Speaker 2: ad nauseum, but happy to hear from you. That's the
Speaker 2: latest six years their fees have been frozen and these
Speaker 2: businesses will start to go to all the wall. Thank
Speaker 2: you for listening in. We'll come back after this break.
Speaker 2: Lindsey Jetton will join us. We want to talk in
Speaker 2: laws Lindsay for various reasons, because she's working with us.
Speaker 2: It's been for us to move back in with the
Speaker 2: in laws for a couple of nights. Going to talk
Speaker 2: in laws next one double three eight touty two. Give
Speaker 2: us a call.

Speaker 2: warm one. But anyway, and thanks Lise, no flu for me,
Speaker 2: had the flu sh and thank you very much. Lots
Speaker 2: of correspondence today on this notion of Allied Health Services
Speaker 2: and Silly Health Services having a freeze on their fees
Speaker 2: from the ndaaes over the last six years. I'll get
Speaker 2: to that in just a moment. Lindsay gent and Lindsay
Speaker 2: Brennan formerly known as Lindsay Brennan is with me now, Lindsay,
Speaker 2: you've been forced to move back with the in laws
Speaker 2: for one night only.
Speaker 23: Yeah, not quite.
Speaker 26: I had a sleepover last night, and i'd like to
Speaker 26: start this conversation in case they're listening. I love my
Speaker 26: in laws, They're very good to me. But yeah, I
Speaker 26: came into work with you this morning. As you know,
Speaker 26: we start very early, and so I had a sleepover
Speaker 26: last night because my husband's away. Baby daughter needed someone
Speaker 26: to look after her, so rather than me dropping her
Speaker 26: off at five am this morning, we stayed the night.
Speaker 2: Okay, And so you so the in laws you do
Speaker 2: like them, Yes, we get on very well when they
Speaker 2: first met you when you were the girlfriend.
Speaker 23: Yes.
Speaker 26: So the last time I had a sleepover at their
Speaker 26: house was very early in our relationship, when I was
Speaker 26: just the girlfriend, and you know that was fine. But
Speaker 26: I haven't slept her for quite a few years. And
Speaker 26: last night, with my husband away, I had dinner with them.
Speaker 26: It was lovely and then I got into bed which,
Speaker 26: funnily enough, their spare room is now my husband's old
Speaker 26: childhood room.
Speaker 23: And I was lying there thinking, is this a bit weird?
Speaker 23: And as much as I do.
Speaker 2: Get on well with them, what's the protocol? Did you
Speaker 2: say good night to them and shake their hands and
Speaker 2: give them a cuddle.
Speaker 23: Yes, we said good night, and then I sort of said, oh, well,
Speaker 23: i'll see you tomorrow.
Speaker 2: As the wife, as the daughter in law with a baby.
Speaker 23: Yes, exactly. So it was fast asleep at this point.
Speaker 23: It was all good. But it was very funny because
Speaker 23: they have an intercom system in their house.
Speaker 2: I have an intercom with.
Speaker 23: Fabulous for the boy.
Speaker 26: They have three boys, so growing up yelling at them,
Speaker 26: you know, dinner's ready, kids, come down the hallway whatever.
Speaker 23: Great system.
Speaker 26: Last night I was lying in bed and at two
Speaker 26: am when my daughter started making noises, I suddenly hear
Speaker 26: around me.
Speaker 7: Shhh.
Speaker 23: It was my mother in law trying to settle.
Speaker 2: The baby buy the intercom via.
Speaker 23: The terrified me a little bit because I was half asleep.
Speaker 2: But he thought someone was in a room with you.
Speaker 23: Yeah, but also maybe a good method.
Speaker 26: So anyway, it got me thinking, I wonder what our
Speaker 26: listeners think as well, you know, how much time do
Speaker 26: you spend with your in laws? And do you spend
Speaker 26: time with them without your partner there? Because I realized
Speaker 26: we haven't spent a whole lot of time without Tim,
Speaker 26: my husband being there.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And sometimes people if they do part ways, they
Speaker 2: maintain the in laws, they get the in laws in
Speaker 2: the custody battle.
Speaker 27: Yeah.
Speaker 26: And I've had friends who have you know, struggled to
Speaker 26: break up with their partners because they love their in
Speaker 26: laws so much that they want to stay.
Speaker 23: A part of that family.
Speaker 2: I'd love to hear from me one, double three eight
Speaker 2: et e two. The intercom is the funny bit dayy work.
Speaker 23: She went back to sleep.
Speaker 2: If Lindsay in laws are listening, Lindsay loves you, I

Speaker 2: today when we come back the new gen power plant
Speaker 2: down in the Krona Industrial Strip. Is it still teetering
Speaker 2: on the brink? Stay listening? Peter raised is a good point.
Speaker 2: He sent in an SMS to us today. Get Apete
Speaker 2: Pete says, I'm a regular attendee of Waffle Games. The
Speaker 2: official program. The budget cost three bucks this year, which
Speaker 2: is twenty twenty five seed, and it's nothing more than
Speaker 2: a list of teams for each of the respective clubs.
Speaker 2: The information providing the budget publication in previous years had
Speaker 2: fixtures results, leading goalkickers, possession, get us feature articles, umpires,
Speaker 2: club events. Funk is no longer being provided. I've queried
Speaker 2: the absence of this information with the marketing division of
Speaker 2: the Footy Commission or I understand irresponsible for the publication
Speaker 2: of the budget varying among a number of times, and
Speaker 2: no response has been forthcoming. Not good enough, Peter. I
Speaker 2: noticed that I went a couple of weeks ago to
Speaker 2: see East Perth play West Perth on the Monday, and
Speaker 2: the budget is has reduced significantly. So my understanding, we
Speaker 2: might try and get this clarified for you. It became
Speaker 2: too expensive for the Footy Commission to publish. They had
Speaker 2: excess numbers. They were either trying to get the numbers
Speaker 2: right and they're either underproducing or overproducing. That's been difficult.
Speaker 2: But producing the budget in its previous form has become
Speaker 2: too expensive, I think, Pete. So I know that Tracy
Speaker 2: Lewis and Sean Cowen have been previous editors, and Sean
Speaker 2: in particular, who loves waffle. He was always the bolk
Speaker 2: who was putting in historic pieces, stories about memorabilia and
Speaker 2: the like, which made it such a good read. But
Speaker 2: you're right, mate, it's just a team sheet now, isn't it.
Speaker 2: So it costs three bucks you used to cost your
Speaker 2: fifteen dollars to get into the waffle and he had
Speaker 2: a budget included, but it is now something I think
Speaker 2: you have to buy separately, So it is it's a
Speaker 2: real shame. And as I said earlier in the show,
Speaker 2: today often you go to games only five hundred people there,
Speaker 2: so you know, and it's still something that's covered widely
Speaker 2: and broadly by by media groups other than ours. You know,
Speaker 2: we talk about the waffle all the time because it's
Speaker 2: in our blood. But yeah, Pete, the budget is a
Speaker 2: shadow of its former self. We might try and find
Speaker 2: Sean Cowen or one of the previous editors if we can.
Speaker 2: Coming up after eleven o'clock, Lou Roe will join us
Speaker 2: from the RSPCA and we have an exclusive story for you,
Speaker 2: an incredible story of animal cruelty, sadly involving a Gosnell's home,
Speaker 2: and Lou will get us across that after eleven o'clock
Speaker 2: today when she comes in, Kayi says, virus mess. I'm
Speaker 2: an adult speech pathologist. It is cruel to expect frail
Speaker 2: adults with permanent disabilities, bedbound, palliative, et cetera to travel
Speaker 2: to businesses. The travel feed cut will hurt everyone, and
Speaker 2: clients who live further away will not be accepted. There
Speaker 2: won't be a wait list, they just will not get services.
Speaker 2: Spoken with two physios this week, both now reducing or
Speaker 2: cutting out in THEOS clients. You speak up, says Katie,
Speaker 2: so backing what Rachel had to say a little bit
Speaker 2: earlier on, we'll speak to Chris Alten in just a
Speaker 2: moment about the new gen power, the power generated down
Speaker 2: on the Karna Strip. News to hand that last year
Speaker 2: Reese Whitby was looking to bail out the projects with
Speaker 2: a thirty million dollar payout or gift, but it didn't happen.
Speaker 2: So this is still really teetering on the on the brink,
Speaker 2: and this is this is power provided to industry. We
Speaker 2: talked to Chris in just a second. The program good
Speaker 2: a Matthew.
Speaker 28: I just thought i'd let you know know how w
Speaker 28: w OI are coming in October to Perth. The prices
Speaker 28: for the people who bought the Priority pass who paid
Speaker 28: five hundred and fifty dollars YEUS. The prices started at
Speaker 28: five hundred and thy dollars US to fourteen thousand years
Speaker 28: for the tickets for the event. And that doesn't include
Speaker 28: the raw and SmackDown event. That just includes the Crown
Speaker 28: Jewel event. Those people will have to be very careful
Speaker 28: when they're purchasing their tickets.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's by But where isn't it, Matthew? So do
Speaker 2: you reckon people will pay that amount? Are there people
Speaker 2: fans with that deeper pockets? Will they pay?
Speaker 28: Unfortunately, those people who paid the deposit are sort of
Speaker 28: in trouble. I was like that last year. I went
Speaker 28: with that company last year thinking that I wouldn't get
Speaker 28: anywhere and not knowing the costumes. And this year I'm
Speaker 28: a bit more wiser and haven't done that. But it's
Speaker 28: a lot of money twenty two thousand dollars just for
Speaker 28: a ticket and to go backstage and to meet two wrestlers.
Speaker 2: Yeah sure, yeah, it's show.
Speaker 28: ISOBR without accommodation?
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, all right mate. Thanks letting us know, Matthew.
Speaker 2: So be where if you are buying a pricey ticket
Speaker 2: for SmackDown and Raw in October, just be aware what
Speaker 2: you're buying. Make sure you know what you're getting for
Speaker 2: that layout because that's a fair bit of day, isn't
Speaker 2: It's thirteen minutes to eleven o'clock. What's happening with a
Speaker 2: new gen plant down in the Quanana Industrial Area and
Speaker 2: did it nearly get a bailout of thirty mil last
Speaker 2: year from Energy Minister Rees Whitby. Chris Alton is an
Speaker 2: industry consultant and a former director on the Quanana Industries Council.
Speaker 9: Today, Chris, what excitement.
Speaker 2: Good to talk to you again. What are you hearing
Speaker 2: about new Gen? Is it teetering?
Speaker 11: Is it?
Speaker 2: Mate?
Speaker 9: Look, I haven't heard much at all about what's going
Speaker 9: on behind the scenes with new Gen. I don't understand
Speaker 9: why it would be teetering because it's supplying a large
Speaker 9: amount of electricity into the into the into the grid,
Speaker 9: which is absolutely essential for industry. So look, I wouldn't
Speaker 9: want to speculate on why it's attracting that that that
Speaker 9: level of intervention, however, looks cannot Can I say that
Speaker 9: that the Swiss the Southwest Interconnected system that supplies the
Speaker 9: electricity into the Quanana Industrial Area in Western Trade Coast
Speaker 9: and Perth is in dire need of a major, major,
Speaker 9: major investment. Currently, Western Palace focus is on building going
Speaker 9: to be building the transmission from the Midwest green electricity
Speaker 9: that's wind and solar to replace Collie. That's their focus.
Speaker 9: That doesn't. That doesn't mean that the Quanana grid will
Speaker 9: be the part of the grid and Quanana delivering the
Speaker 9: interesting will be any more stable than it is today.
Speaker 9: And it's not particularly stable. So the whole that whole
Speaker 9: grid system is quite vulnerable at the moment.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, we don't have the story. We just
Speaker 2: I know Dan Mercer has the story. He's he's a
Speaker 2: good fellow at a good journal, Dan. But new gen
Speaker 2: is important, isn't it. And as you say, mostly for
Speaker 2: industrial supply, for commercial supply, And it's news to us
Speaker 2: that maybe re Sweepy is the Energy Minister put it
Speaker 2: to government we needed to bar this out, So it
Speaker 2: does seem that he's concerned about it as well.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, if it's in trouble, it needs to
Speaker 9: be fixed. That's that's that is the bottom line, and
Speaker 9: let's get on with doing that. But the bigger picture
Speaker 9: needs also to be addressed. And I know that there
Speaker 9: are a full disclosure. I'm on the board of a
Speaker 9: couple of renewable energy companies, one of which is trying
Speaker 9: to get wind power into the industrial area. The bureaucracy
Speaker 9: that is blocking or not being supportive of these new
Speaker 9: energy renewable energy sources coming into the industrial area is
Speaker 9: quite it's almost depressing. It's very very hard to get
Speaker 9: decisions made, and these decisions could be so easily made.
Speaker 9: And the wind turbine project isn't a big project. It's
Speaker 9: very very innovative. The money seems to go to the
Speaker 9: big players who can really they've got the balance sheets
Speaker 9: to be able to afford to do this work themselves.
Speaker 9: Innovators coming in that we need to be supporting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you know my backgrounds in local government and
Speaker 2: we're hearing the opposite in the regions. You know that
Speaker 2: it's the absolute red carpet, the green light. Here you go,
Speaker 2: you know, going to nar angerup, build turn and fifty
Speaker 2: wind turbines will help you out. It does seem to
Speaker 2: be different if it's in the metro area or at
Speaker 2: near Coburn Sound or in Quanana because the country ships
Speaker 2: it's here we go. Is the is the red carpet?
Speaker 2: Go for your life?
Speaker 9: Yeah. It's like being the ball in a game of
Speaker 9: tennis with you know, and it's double so you've got
Speaker 9: four parties whacking the ball around, but nobody you just
Speaker 9: can't seem to break through and get a decision to
Speaker 9: say yes, you have approval even if you know me
Speaker 9: meeting all the environmental conditions down the way, but nobody
Speaker 9: is taking it up and saying, yes, this is something
Speaker 9: we should be supporting. You know, if industry doesn't decarbonize
Speaker 9: in terms of meeting government policy and customer requirements for
Speaker 9: the for the products that are manufactured, if they can't decarbonize,
Speaker 9: they can't sell their products or they can't sell them competitively.
Speaker 9: This is not a choice that industry is facing.
Speaker 17: It is.
Speaker 9: It is a fact that they have to decarbonize. I mean,
Speaker 9: you take the large companies that are producing a lot
Speaker 9: of c AT carbon dioxide emissions. They're trapped or captured
Speaker 9: within the safeguard mechanism, and that says that into the future,
Speaker 9: starting last year, these companies have to reduce their emissions
Speaker 9: by four point nine per year on year. That means
Speaker 9: the well, the only way they can do that, essentially
Speaker 9: is to get green electricity because they're relying on coal
Speaker 9: electricity and gas electricity, which isn't green by the way,
Speaker 9: sorry Meg. So if they can't do it, they're in
Speaker 9: breach of the policy. And I know one of the
Speaker 9: companies on the Strip is looking at curtailing production in
Speaker 9: order to meet did some mission reduction targets? Now that
Speaker 9: is such a perverse outcome. Yeah, that's a good reality
Speaker 9: that industry is facing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that counterintuitive, isn't it.
Speaker 9: The new gen must stay in operation even though it's gas,
Speaker 9: which is what they call blue electricity. New gen stay
Speaker 9: in the mix as we as we move through this transition.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Chris, always good to talk to you.
Speaker 2: Thank you for your time.
Speaker 20: You're welcome.
Speaker 2: Timon cheers mate, Chris on my little screen. It's got
Speaker 2: Chris from Willard. So I think Chris sometimes calls used
Speaker 2: to call us a took caller. Chris out and industry consultant,
Speaker 2: former in Quanana Industry Council directors. So Dan Mercer has
Speaker 2: the story today, Dan, the new gen that rees Whitbee
Speaker 2: as the energy Minister are attempted to ballot out thirty
Speaker 2: million bucks of our money. Again, this vexed issue of
Speaker 2: you know, transitions to and net zero is what we're
Speaker 2: calling it. We're hearing that in the country that wind
Speaker 2: farms in particular in proliferation, little councils are dealing with
Speaker 2: multinationals trying to make sure they get a good deal
Speaker 2: for the community and get some extra lectucity in their
Speaker 2: own grid. In the meantime, that's the wind farms at
Speaker 2: Quanana seem to be getting knocked back. And you know,
Speaker 2: the breeze does blow through Quanana through there, the sea
Speaker 2: breeze does come in. Love to hear from you today.
Speaker 2: Anything you like the new Gen power generator which is
Speaker 2: gas powered. He puts three hundred and ten megawats into
Speaker 2: the grid and it's teetering. Apparently it's teaching on the
Speaker 2: brink financially. Back in just a moment, Have you had
Speaker 2: the flu this season? The yeses at nineteen the nose
Speaker 2: a thirty nine. Yeah, thanks listening in. It's three minutes
Speaker 2: to eleven o'clock. Thanks for all your correspondents on the
Speaker 2: price freeze if you like, or the fee freeze for
Speaker 2: the NDS ancillary health providers. A lot of correspondents coming in,
Speaker 2: very thoughtful correspondence, Lara says Gade Lara, Thank you. The
Speaker 2: NDIS price cuts are going to disadvantage the most vulnerable
Speaker 2: in our communities who are either unable to travel for
Speaker 2: service or find it extremely difficult to do so. If
Speaker 2: you suddenly had a disability which can happen to anyone.
Speaker 2: Wouldn't you want a therapist to come to your home
Speaker 2: to provide the correct shower commode fit rails correctly assess
Speaker 2: for sus suitability for power wheelchair. I prescribe positioning systems
Speaker 2: using your bed. How can therapists do what's best for
Speaker 2: the participants they work with if they are not able
Speaker 2: to observe the person in the natural environments. So I'm
Speaker 2: assuming Lara is in the industry. We cannot keep absorbing
Speaker 2: the travel costs, so the most vulnerable we will be
Speaker 2: most affected. One double three two is the is the
Speaker 2: phone number? Bowie, you're talking about the lack of coverage
Speaker 2: from our local paper for the state of origin. In
Speaker 2: two weeks in the twenty eighth we have the Lions
Speaker 2: Tour starting in Perth, one of the biggest tours in Union,
Speaker 2: and we only get it every twelve years. It'll be
Speaker 2: interesting to see what coverage gets. Thank you to that
Speaker 2: correspondence appreciated. Bookmark this message from Ryan Ryan, you are
Speaker 2: nothing if not persistent libertarian Ryan, or enjoy your correspondence.
Speaker 2: Bookmark this message Simum net zero and this energy transition
Speaker 2: to wind and solar as a scam. It defies practical reality.
Speaker 2: It is not environmental, It is not environmental, not sustainable
Speaker 2: and not economic. Thanks libertarian Ryan. As I sometimes say
Speaker 2: Ryan on the show, I'll always take advice from people
Speaker 2: who are smarter than me, and the people are smarter
Speaker 2: me saying we do. We are facing climate change, We're
Speaker 2: going to eventually run out of fossil fuels, and we're
Speaker 2: well placed in w a in aminustrated to take advantage
Speaker 2: of the amount of sun and when we have so rock.
Speaker 2: Thanks Ryan, you make me laugh sometimes, Mate, I know
Speaker 2: you don't mean so.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The smart guys are saying, you know, we need renewable energy.
Speaker 2: That's that is the future. I appreciate everyone's points of
Speaker 2: view on all of this hits. We've feels like it's
Speaker 2: been foisted on us and forced upon us, doesn't it?
Speaker 2: No no doubt about that. Luis Roe will join us
Speaker 2: from the RSPC eight. She has a couple of special
Speaker 2: guests and once again sadly lou will bring us in
Speaker 2: a story of astonishing animal cruelty in the suburbs. Stay listening.
Speaker 1: On Perth six PR This is Perth Today with Simon Beaumont.
Speaker 2: Thanks listening. Today they start a little mini war with
Speaker 2: Ryan the Libertarian, who I enjoy his correspondents very much.
Speaker 2: He's unrelenting and he's always hard at the ball. Jim
Speaker 2: Ryan makes you laugh. They say, you take the advice
Speaker 2: of those who are smarter and you Ryan fits the category.
Speaker 2: Maybe Jim, but he's unrelenting and a good man for
Speaker 2: staying on the course that matters to him. Yes or no?
Speaker 2: Have you had the flu this season? The yeses are
Speaker 2: nineteen and the nose are forty two. I think we're
Speaker 2: going to talk to the RSPCA. Max's going to talk
Speaker 2: to Lude. Here we go, here we go, any second hour,
Speaker 2: you got it? Maybe it's been maybe one of the
Speaker 2: cats has done something to your intro. Loo. Hello, Louise,
Speaker 2: I can sing if you want. Good to see you. Yeah,
Speaker 2: thanks for coming in. We're going to get to this. Unfortunately,
Speaker 2: often when you and I talk, the breaking news stories
Speaker 2: are horrific on animal cruelty, to get one in gosnels
Speaker 2: in just a moment, and the numbers are staggering. But
Speaker 2: Kaylee's here as well. Kaylee's been a faithful RSPC, a employee,
Speaker 2: and you've got a couple of guests who you've got here, Luke.
Speaker 29: Yeah, so Kaylee's joined me in studio today to help
Speaker 29: me wrangle these two little qtis. We have eleven week
Speaker 29: old kittens, brothers Bert and Ernie. They are very very cute,
Speaker 29: but you know, they're eleven week old kittens, so they
Speaker 29: want to get out and explore and everything.
Speaker 2: Very active.
Speaker 29: Yeah, they're currently available for adoption, but as a bonded pair,
Speaker 29: so you will need to take both because they yeah,
Speaker 29: they're very attached to each other.
Speaker 30: They've been with us since they were two weeks old.
Speaker 29: They've found astrays, so they were fostered and now they're
Speaker 29: ready to be adopted. And really we've really pushing our
Speaker 29: cat adoptions at the moment because we've got room for
Speaker 29: around one hundred cats. We've got ninety seven and there
Speaker 29: are I hear eleven coming in from the one property today.
Speaker 29: We really need to move some of our cats out.
Speaker 29: We've got them from all ages, from this young right
Speaker 29: up through till twelve year old Tuppants, who is a
Speaker 29: delightful black cat that was a very quiet home.
Speaker 30: So people are in the market. Head to the RSPCA
Speaker 30: WA website.
Speaker 2: These two are incredibly active Kaylee has that one's Ernie,
Speaker 2: isn't it?
Speaker 6: Is that?
Speaker 2: What's that's Ernie? They don't look like brothers.
Speaker 29: No, it's not unusual for letters of kittens to look
Speaker 29: vastly different to each other. Yeah, it's just really common.
Speaker 29: So just for people playing along at home, is black
Speaker 29: and white and Ernie is a tabby.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, beautiful. Yeah, they're both very cute and they
Speaker 2: are full bore. They're like two little hand grenades of
Speaker 2: fur and fluff. Aren't they so cute?
Speaker 18: Though?
Speaker 2: Yeah, they are extremely cute. So they are available. Go
Speaker 2: to the RSPCA website. Katie, nice to meet you, and
Speaker 2: thanks for coming in, Kayleie is having to wrangle the
Speaker 2: right word, and that's what that's saying. Comes from hurting kittens,
Speaker 2: hurting cats. These these are the poster child for that phrase.
Speaker 2: Exactly one double three eight eighty two. If you'd like
Speaker 2: to have a chat to Lou today, we will talk
Speaker 2: about the service that the RSPCA provide. Lou's given me
Speaker 2: a sheet of a four paper. It's a new media release.
Speaker 2: I don't think you would have heard this information anywhere else.
Speaker 2: Mother and Sons plural. Lou charged with cruelty against cats
Speaker 2: and chickens.
Speaker 30: Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 29: So a fifty three year old woman and her two
Speaker 29: sons aged twenty five and twenty two have each been
Speaker 29: charged with fifteen counts of animal cruelty. Background story, We
Speaker 29: got a report back in February saying that a member
Speaker 29: of the public had seen many cats living in appalling
Speaker 29: living conditions in the backyard of a Gosnell's house. So
Speaker 29: our inspectors went out there actually saw thirty eight cats
Speaker 29: and kittens. They were confined to cages and pens of
Speaker 29: all different sizes, some stacked on top of each other
Speaker 29: or through the property. I've seen the photos. You just
Speaker 29: I don't know how people walk past this day after day.
Speaker 29: But so much excrement and you know, yeah, no food
Speaker 29: and diarrhea, diarrhea everywhere, just the most appalling conditions. The
Speaker 29: hens were just so skinny. Their water bowl was filled
Speaker 29: with dried sticks, is what our inspector is reporting. So yes,
Speaker 29: the three of them have been charged and they will
Speaker 29: face the Armadelle Magistrates Court next month.
Speaker 2: All right, So this is as lucid fifty three old
Speaker 2: woman to sons twenty five and twenty two, thirty eight
Speaker 2: cats in the one house and four chickens, and just
Speaker 2: reading further down your release, and there's quite a bit
Speaker 2: of detail about the about the how unkempt the house was,
Speaker 2: and the mess and the feces and the urine and
Speaker 2: the diarrhea or all that. It's not for the faint hearted.
Speaker 2: The animals had gastro intestinal illnesses, infections, dental disease and
Speaker 2: poor body condition. Right across the thirty eight cats and
Speaker 2: the four Isler brown hens inside a large coupe now
Speaker 2: fundamental toilist loo is RSPCAU will allege the female It
Speaker 2: will be accused of operating a profit bridden driven commercial
Speaker 2: business of selling these cats.
Speaker 7: Yep.
Speaker 29: So to Kitna far yeah, she was or is sorry
Speaker 29: a registered cat breeder, and all of the cats were
Speaker 29: what may be termed as desirable breeds, so rag dolls
Speaker 29: and Russian blues which fetch a pretty penny.
Speaker 6: All right.
Speaker 2: So the maximum penalty here is for animal Cruelly's fifty
Speaker 2: grand fine and you can cop some prison time as well.
Speaker 2: Is one of your old jobs used to work for
Speaker 2: corrective services?
Speaker 6: I need?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 2: And they go to Armadale magistrates called on twenty fifth
Speaker 2: of July. What's your job from here. What's RSPCA's job
Speaker 2: from here.
Speaker 29: So our inspectors who picked up this case and went
Speaker 29: out there, they complete their investigation and then determine whether
Speaker 29: charges are warranted, which obviously in this case they did
Speaker 29: so then they work with our legal team and it
Speaker 29: gets to this stage and the people are actually charged,
Speaker 29: and then from here on in obviously our legal team
Speaker 29: is in court and you know, showing all the evidence
Speaker 29: and talking about the alleged defenses and yeah, then it's
Speaker 29: up to the magistrate whether they're found guilty and what
Speaker 29: the penalty is.
Speaker 30: The magistrate decides.
Speaker 2: That our commander in chief of social media operations, Tony's
Speaker 2: in this year and the cats are quiet and down.
Speaker 2: Your cat whispered to.
Speaker 30: Look at this, Yeah, look at you to eleven week
Speaker 30: old kitten stadium.
Speaker 2: I don't think the dog would appreciate it. Did amazing story.
Speaker 2: Thirty eight cats in one house, the home of registered breeder.
Speaker 2: Why why do the boys get charged as well if
Speaker 2: she's a breeder?
Speaker 29: Because they all lived in the house and they were
Speaker 29: all aware of the conditions. This is what will be
Speaker 29: alleging and therefore they are all responsible and they and
Speaker 29: I don't want to say, it's still before the courts
Speaker 29: at the moment, but in evidence, in some of the
Speaker 29: things that all three said to our inspector, we will
Speaker 29: allege that or three did take responsibility.
Speaker 2: The culpability allegedly. Lou it didn't escape my attention that
Speaker 2: you said there's eleven more cats coming into the RSPCA
Speaker 2: this morning. Is that also from a case week where
Speaker 2: you'll be having a look at that on criminal grounds?
Speaker 29: Too early to say, yeah, I don't know, it will
Speaker 29: be from an inspector, but as I say, from there,
Speaker 29: they're the ones that will carry out the investigation. They're
Speaker 29: the ones that have the under the Act to take
Speaker 29: things forward or not. So yeah, I'm not aware of
Speaker 29: the circumstances of that one.
Speaker 2: Thank you. Lou Well answered like a professional, like a politician,
Speaker 2: like a politician, like a pro. We'll come back in
Speaker 2: a moment. Fifteen and a half minutes past eleven. Can
Speaker 2: you believe that, as lu said, how do people walk
Speaker 2: past this? How do people walk past this stuff with
Speaker 2: gi illness, poor body condition and just filth and squalor?
Speaker 2: How do people keep managing to do this? Thank God
Speaker 2: for the RSPCA. We'll come back sixteen minutes past eleven,
Speaker 2: and Lou and I will remind you how you can
Speaker 2: adopt a kitten ninety seven at the moment, Yeah, not all.
Speaker 30: For adoption, but yeah, we have ninety seven in care
Speaker 30: at the moment.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, thanks Lou. Back in a sec Lou
Speaker 2: Roe is with us from the RSPCA. Thank you for listening.
Speaker 2: This is from Carol Lou, one of our correspondents, and
Speaker 2: it's Ka Rhyl. Hello Carol, So please ask Lou why
Speaker 2: people found guilty of animal cruelty banned for owning pets
Speaker 2: for two to five years, why not for life?
Speaker 29: There we go, that's a question for the individual magistrates.
Speaker 29: Short answer is I don't know. But it's RSPCA WA
Speaker 29: that has the power to charge and to bring these
Speaker 29: people before the court and we argue the case as
Speaker 29: best we can, but then it's up to the individual
Speaker 29: magistrate to decide on the penalty which is available to
Speaker 29: them under the Act.
Speaker 30: And Carol's right. We have had a few cases where
Speaker 30: people have.
Speaker 29: Been banned from owning animals for the rest of their life,
Speaker 29: but it is pretty standard to hear five year ban,
Speaker 29: ten year ban, that kind of thing. But yeah, unfortunately
Speaker 29: I don't have a straight ad, so it's up to
Speaker 29: the individual magistrate in each individual case what they decide
Speaker 29: the penalty is.
Speaker 2: Yep, I've asked you this the last three times you've
Speaker 2: been in. You've been you're going to get some budget
Speaker 2: money for some more inspectors. When do those boots hit
Speaker 2: the road?
Speaker 29: So we already have a lot of new trainee inspectors,
Speaker 29: which is great because for safety reasons, all of our
Speaker 29: inspectors now work in pairs, so we've had to do
Speaker 29: quite hefty recruitment. And yeah, it's going really well. The
Speaker 29: system's working really well, traveling to regional areas on a
Speaker 29: frequent basis.
Speaker 30: And yeah, the new funding kicks in one July.
Speaker 2: Okay, good luck, Thanks good luck. Lou Rosewis. If you
Speaker 2: want to ring in, you can one double three eight
Speaker 2: to two. Just to go back on to there have
Speaker 2: been some changes to the laws around the Dog Act
Speaker 2: and the cad Act. We know a couple of pet
Speaker 2: shops have closed down. You and I've talked about this
Speaker 2: at length. I've talked to Melkriddle, our vet about this
Speaker 2: as well. So the new laws under the new Westralian
Speaker 2: cad Act all cats six months old and must be sterilized,
Speaker 2: Lou Michael Schulden registered with their local government, not with
Speaker 2: the RSPCA. How's that going. What are you hearing? Because
Speaker 2: we did hear there's been some problems with the registration system,
Speaker 2: with the database.
Speaker 29: Yeah, I just you know, hear stuff. As you say,
Speaker 29: we don't administer it. I think people do get a
Speaker 29: bit frustrated, depending on which local government area they live
Speaker 29: in at.
Speaker 30: How strongly those laws are enforced. That that is the
Speaker 30: law though.
Speaker 29: They have to be sterilized, micro chipped and registered. And
Speaker 29: even if you only want to breed one letter from
Speaker 29: your cat, you have to register as a breeder.
Speaker 2: I was going to say that that's that new information RECEP.
Speaker 2: It's only one letter, you still need to register as
Speaker 2: a breeder. And if it's just one yeah, all right.
Speaker 2: And a lot of this is around shire's and local
Speaker 2: government and you know, rangers and part of the local
Speaker 2: government systems should be looking after all of this. Well,
Speaker 2: have you heard anything, either anecdotally, loo or otherwise about
Speaker 2: the fact that this registration's portal is being delayed?
Speaker 29: I have heard as much as anyone else has. You know,
Speaker 29: Hannah Beasley came out and said that state government had
Speaker 29: parted ways with the company that was contracted to establish
Speaker 29: centralized registration system rather than each LGA holding their own records.
Speaker 30: That's all I know.
Speaker 2: You know, that's fine. We are hearing the same and
Speaker 2: probably reading the same media reports that you are, Lou
Speaker 2: And again we talked to Melkriddle about it as well.
Speaker 2: You've got a community Action Day tomorrow and one in July,
Speaker 2: in one in August. Tell us about those.
Speaker 18: Yeah.
Speaker 29: So a lot of people know RSPCA WA for the
Speaker 29: kinds of cases that we've been talking about, so animal cruelty.
Speaker 29: They know that we rescue animals. They know that we
Speaker 29: have a shelter in Malagar and they can come and
Speaker 29: adopt pets from us. What a lot of people don't
Speaker 29: know is all of the community outreach stuff that we do.
Speaker 29: We're not a big stick organization except when we absolutely
Speaker 29: have to be. Our inspectors and our other staff are
Speaker 29: all supremely compassionate and work with pet owners as much
Speaker 29: as possible to try and help them educate them. And
Speaker 29: Community Action Days are just one of the practical outreach
Speaker 29: programs that we do. We tend to hold them in
Speaker 29: lower socioeconomic areas, people who are struggling, can come along
Speaker 29: and judgment free.
Speaker 30: Don't have to give us reasons why.
Speaker 29: They can come along and get free dog and cat food,
Speaker 29: free flea and worm treatments. Dogs can be health checked.
Speaker 29: We've got trainers there to give advice, and you can
Speaker 29: get free micro chipping as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah cool. Now, just watching the Burtnernie in action here.
Speaker 2: So Tony's coming and as completely plicated. That's bird I think,
Speaker 2: isn't it. That's right, that's birds. And to you, Tony,
Speaker 2: how you going Katie with yours?
Speaker 31: Are you?
Speaker 2: Are you sure you're working in the right profession?
Speaker 23: What's going on here?
Speaker 30: He is intrigued.
Speaker 29: He's loving the six PR logo going on and off
Speaker 29: the big TV screen. So I think we maybe need
Speaker 29: to put one of those up in our catgory to
Speaker 29: keep the cats entertained.
Speaker 30: Yeah.
Speaker 29: So, just for people who might be in need of
Speaker 29: any of those free things that I just mentioned, they
Speaker 29: can head along to the Anthony Warren clubrooms in Clarkson
Speaker 29: today between one and three. We will be in Calgooley
Speaker 29: Boulder on the twenty third of July and in Rockingham
Speaker 29: on the eighteenth of August. If people want to know,
Speaker 29: just jump on our website click on the events link,
Speaker 29: or if you follow us on social media you'll get
Speaker 29: details of when we hold them as well.
Speaker 2: Yep, well, now, very very good. The community action days
Speaker 2: they call so, as Lou said, free food, health checks,
Speaker 2: micro tripping, flea and worm treatments for struggling pet owns.
Speaker 2: And in particular, it's the expertise you can pass on
Speaker 2: to people, isn't it?
Speaker 11: So?
Speaker 1: Oh for sure?
Speaker 29: And sometimes it's just about putting people's minds at rest.
Speaker 29: You know, my dog's doing this or my cat's doing that,
Speaker 29: and you know you talk to a professional, they go, oh, yeah,
Speaker 29: that's completely normal, but no, it can be annoying behavior.
Speaker 30: We suggest you try X y Z and yeah it's great.
Speaker 2: Yep, one level three AD. So if you'd like to
Speaker 2: speak to Luro you can. How you going, Lou? And
Speaker 2: all the time I've known you, you've worked here on
Speaker 2: the radio with Howard with late how do you work correct?
Speaker 2: The service you worked at Tourism w A. Just another
Speaker 2: day in w A was one on something you and
Speaker 2: your gang came up. How are you going with this?
Speaker 2: I know you love animals, but how are you going
Speaker 2: with all this?
Speaker 32: Yeah? I love it?
Speaker 30: I feel like I've landed where I was meant to be.
Speaker 29: I mean, when you work for the RSPCA but you're
Speaker 29: still known as the crazy dog lady, then I don't
Speaker 29: think that kind of shows that it's your calling you Maybe, Yeah,
Speaker 29: you've maybe found your people.
Speaker 30: You may be found your place. Yeah.
Speaker 29: Look, some of the stuff is heartbreaking, of course it is.
Speaker 29: And ultimately it would be amazing if the RSPCA didn't
Speaker 29: have to exist, because then there would would mean there
Speaker 29: was no animal cruelty. But unfortunately it does. And I've
Speaker 29: got to tell you though, those good stories are the
Speaker 29: ones that, Wow.
Speaker 2: You'd be going, yeah, you'd be coming back into work.
Speaker 2: Has any of it surprised you? Has any of the
Speaker 2: content any of the things you've seen? Is there anything unexpected,
Speaker 2: either in the role or the politically or you know,
Speaker 2: in the you need anything surprise you, Lou, Yeah, a.
Speaker 30: Couple of things.
Speaker 32: So the way.
Speaker 29: That people can treat their animals, even after all these years,
Speaker 29: continues to surprise me.
Speaker 30: I know it shouldn't.
Speaker 29: I don't know if we spoke about this last time
Speaker 29: I was with you, but there've been some charges against
Speaker 29: three blokes working on a mind site in the gold
Speaker 29: Fields who thought it would be really funny to hit
Speaker 29: a pigeon with a golf club and you did tell
Speaker 29: me and film it.
Speaker 30: And put it on Snapchat.
Speaker 29: So you know, you just look at that vision and
Speaker 29: you just go, I don't understand what was going through
Speaker 29: your head.
Speaker 2: So those kinds of things free your bloodstream.
Speaker 29: Yeah, those kinds of things continue to surprise me. People's
Speaker 29: expectations sometimes, you know though, and Kayleie has a lot
Speaker 29: more experience with this than I do, but they kind
Speaker 29: of treat us a little bit like a shop. So
Speaker 29: they'll come in and they'll be like, you know, I
Speaker 29: want a small, white, fluffy dog, no older than you know,
Speaker 29: two years of age, and you say, well, we don't
Speaker 29: have anything that fits that description. And it's like you're
Speaker 29: working at Big w and they expect you to go
Speaker 29: out the back and check the stock and to see if.
Speaker 2: There's one there's supposed to wait describe.
Speaker 29: Yeah, and it's like, yeah, not a shop, Like that's
Speaker 29: kind of not the philosophy of animal rescue and rehoming.
Speaker 2: So do what we got out of the back.
Speaker 30: Yeah, that's kind of interesting. Yeah, they're probably the two
Speaker 30: biggest things.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, keep up the good work. It's a
Speaker 2: noble line of work and it's very well suited to
Speaker 2: you and your personality and your skill set. Thank you
Speaker 2: for coming in. Thank you for bringing Burton Ernie in.
Speaker 2: As Ernie continues to sort of try to escape and
Speaker 2: they climb up the walls. The other ones asleep.
Speaker 30: Yeah, I'm going to sleep to look at you.
Speaker 2: Don't try and go and changing jobs.
Speaker 29: I was going to say, I'm going to take Tony
Speaker 29: with me as I walk out the studio and she
Speaker 29: can come and work with us in Malaga.
Speaker 2: Tony, he's good at a day job as well, So
Speaker 2: you can't have it all right, Katie, nice to meet you.
Speaker 2: Keep up a good work. Yeah, I'll just remind people
Speaker 2: where the Community Action Days are. At one this afternoon
Speaker 2: in Clarkson there's something wearing center.
Speaker 30: Anthony Anthony Wearing club rooms on victism.
Speaker 2: Pray all right, And the twenty third of July there's
Speaker 2: people listening in caw Gooley Bold and lots of people
Speaker 2: do listen on the app these days, lou and the
Speaker 2: eighteenth of August down in Rockingham. So go to the
Speaker 2: RSPCA website they call the Community Action Days and you
Speaker 2: can find out a little bit more. Thank you, Luke,

Speaker 29: And maybe we'll mix things up and in a fortnight
Speaker 29: I'll bring in a big buffhead dog.
Speaker 2: Yeah all right, no, all right, thanks Lou, Thanks Kaylee,
Speaker 2: and thanks Tony. Yeah, look at you go. It's a
Speaker 2: twenty eight and a half minutes past eleven, lou Rowe
Speaker 2: have Lou in here chatting about all this. And look
Speaker 2: it does have a heard edge this that those animal
Speaker 2: cruelty charges are significant, and you heard it here first
Speaker 2: on this show. Yes, No, Have you had the flu
Speaker 2: this season? The yeses are nineteen the nose of forty two.
Speaker 2: Shortly thanks for listening in today twenty nine minutes to
Speaker 2: midday after twelve o'clock today, Sue mcgodougall will be in
Speaker 2: from King's Park and of course dispenser of radio wisdom
Speaker 2: and care when it comes to matter's horticultural. So Sue
Speaker 2: will be with us after midday, looking forward to seeing that.
Speaker 2: I'd love to hear from you today. Have you had
Speaker 2: the flu this season? We are more than double the
Speaker 2: amount of reported cases as compared to this time last year.
Speaker 2: The yeses are twenty one on the nose of forty six.
Speaker 2: John says, So I'm interesting that you would get a
Speaker 2: John issuing you to say you take advice from people
Speaker 2: smarter than yourself. Still important to question things, even when
Speaker 2: the advice comes from so called smarter people. Smarter doesn't
Speaker 2: always mean unbiased or correct. Thank you, John, I guess
Speaker 2: what I'm really saying, John, I'm that happy taking people
Speaker 2: with advice that I think I might have covered the
Speaker 2: other way, if that makes sense. Thanks for listening in
Speaker 2: one double three eight e two. And I'll just check online.
Speaker 2: I think it's the things that Dalai Lama. I'll just
Speaker 2: check him on line because I always I quote this occasionally.
Speaker 2: If I've just got to X if I can find it,
Speaker 2: the Dalai Lama has something like John, there's something like
Speaker 2: twenty two million followers. I'll just check. That's the Dalo Lama.
Speaker 2: I've just got to spell it right, the Dalo Lama,
Speaker 2: current Dala Lama. I'm following the Dalo Lama eighteen million followers,
Speaker 2: And how many does the Dalai Lama follow? John zero
Speaker 2: eighteen million followers. He doesn't follow anyone on Twitter on X,
Speaker 2: so he doesn't take advice from anyone's he knows everything.
Speaker 2: John one double three eight a D two Todd says
Speaker 2: this biggest beliefs I'm and the cruelty to these animals.
Speaker 2: Our dog gets treated better than the kids. It's true.
Speaker 2: Thanks Todd, Cheers mate, thank you for for your correspondence today.
Speaker 2: A couple more nos have come in. Have you had
Speaker 2: the flu this season? The nose of twenty three, the
Speaker 2: yes of forty six. Let's do this on pers.
Speaker 1: Six pr The stock market reports, Oh he cleare.
Speaker 2: Joins us from Short and Partners that all prices up again,
Speaker 2: and I reckon O he clear is about to have
Speaker 2: the flu injection the sav ohe how are you?
Speaker 33: Yeah, morning Simon, that's true. A few of us here
Speaker 33: in the Shuran Partner's office has decided, after reading the
Speaker 33: press reports this morning, that we might be well advised
Speaker 33: to go and get the flu shots in the city here.
Speaker 33: There are plenty of pharmacies that are doing it, I
Speaker 33: think for free. So why not, we all said. But
Speaker 33: in terms of the oil price, we're living in increasingly
Speaker 33: uncertain times, particularly in the Middle East, and the price
Speaker 33: of a barrel of oil increased around four percent last night.
Speaker 33: Brent crude was as low as just fifty nine dollars
Speaker 33: only last month. It's now at seventy six dollars. That's
Speaker 33: an increase of twenty eight percent. And that's a problem
Speaker 33: not just at the petrol bowser, but increasing transport costs
Speaker 33: could quickly fuel the local inflation rate. And shipping companies
Speaker 33: are avoiding the Strait of muz in the Persian Gulf
Speaker 33: between Iran and Oman. As much as a third of
Speaker 33: all sea point seedborne oil passes through that particular strait,
Speaker 33: and there's been a big spike in interference with ocean
Speaker 33: tankers navigation systems, and yesterday two oil tankers collided and
Speaker 33: bought fire. Fortunately there were no injuries. So all that
Speaker 33: is feeding into higher energy prices, which is really only
Speaker 33: good for energy companies. So from the lows in April,
Speaker 33: the Woodside share price has gone from eighteen dollars sixty
Speaker 33: it's now at twenty five dollars sixty. That's a gain
Speaker 33: of thirty seven percent. And the takeover target Santos have
Speaker 33: increased from five dollars eighty up to seven dollars eighty,
Speaker 33: which is a thirty five percent gain. And unfortunately, as
Speaker 33: the oil price spikes upwards, the iron ore price has
Speaker 33: now sunk below ninety three US dollars a ton. Part
Speaker 33: of that is just because of a seasonal decline that
Speaker 33: happens at this time of year, but there are also
Speaker 33: signs that Chinese steel mills are starting to reduce their
Speaker 33: deal output. It's already about seven percent lower than where
Speaker 33: it was twelve months ago, and in fact, China's total
Speaker 33: steel production in May was at its lowest level since
Speaker 33: twenty eighteen. And on top of the glining debarn for
Speaker 33: our iron ore, there is also the issue of increasing
Speaker 33: iron ore supply coming out of Brazil. They are the
Speaker 33: second largest iron ore producer after Australia, and they exported
Speaker 33: over thirty five million tons of iron ore last month,
Speaker 33: which is a new all time monthly high for them.
Speaker 33: So that's an emerging problem. But share prices here aren't
Speaker 33: too bad today. BHP shares are down only fifty two cents,
Speaker 33: Rio Tinto have fallen by seventy cents, and another sector
Speaker 33: that's been in the headlines a lot recently is rare Earth's.
Speaker 33: The largest producer of rare earth outside of China is
Speaker 33: the Ossi sumpany Last, and the announce today that factory
Speaker 33: in Malaysia has produced a rare earth material called urbium
Speaker 33: for the first time ever. Urbium is used in low
Speaker 33: energy light bulbs, certain type of magnets, and even in
Speaker 33: X ray machines. Line of shares are up twelve cents today.
Speaker 33: They're now at nine dollars sixty six and they have
Speaker 33: increased by over fifty percent so far this calendar year.
Speaker 33: But the broader market continues to mark time. Today, those
Speaker 33: fools by the big iron or producers are being offset
Speaker 33: by gains by the banks. Combank shares are up a
Speaker 33: dollar eighty five. They're now one hundred and eighty one
Speaker 33: dollars and the All lords is down only two points
Speaker 33: where at eighty seven hundred and sixty nine Summit.
Speaker 2: Eight seven six nine. The urbium sounds like a type
Speaker 2: of car. Oh, it sounds like the Nissan Turbium with
Speaker 2: O two advantage.
Speaker 7: I love it.
Speaker 2: Thanks mate, it'll be turbo. Yeah, it will be hey.
Speaker 2: I hope the jab's okay, mate, thebon We'll chatt again tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Thanks so much, We will do.
Speaker 33: Cheers.
Speaker 2: Oh, en Clair, we're asking the question from sure and
Speaker 2: partners are asking the questions today. Have you had the
Speaker 2: flu jeff'sono donnads and no. Michael says, no, I haven't
Speaker 2: had the flu this year. In fact, I haven't had
Speaker 2: the flu since I started having my needle eight years ago.
Speaker 2: I always got the sick before that. Thank you, Michael.
Speaker 2: Good work, Janelle, fifty nine years of age. I've never
Speaker 2: had the flu. I hope I haven't jinxed myself. Janelle,
Speaker 2: well done doing something right there. We had a text
Speaker 2: from Peter earlier on. Peter was worried, was lamenting the size,
Speaker 2: scale and content in the current Waffle budget. So it
Speaker 2: has significantly shrunk in size the previous budget in previous years.
Speaker 2: You know you pay fifteen dollars to get in the Waffle.
Speaker 2: The budget was an Encyclopedia results memory b history. It
Speaker 2: was a pretty awesome publication. Joining us all the way
Speaker 2: from Canadia, the United States of Canadia or Canada is
Speaker 2: Sean Cowen, former budget contributor and master Waffle storyteller.
Speaker 7: Today Sean good Simon, how I am?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Good? Good to see what Canadian province or state
Speaker 2: are you in.
Speaker 27: I am currently in Ottawa, which is an interesting player
Speaker 27: somewhere I hadn't been before.
Speaker 2: Nice to talk to you made I really appreciate so
Speaker 2: eleven thirty at night, it.
Speaker 27: Is indeed yep, and hitting the hay very shortly.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you, all right, I appreciate you talking
Speaker 2: to us. Yeah, so Peter's noticed and I've noticed that
Speaker 2: the budget is nowhere near the size and scale of yesteryear. Sean,
Speaker 2: you used to contribute to it in that that way
Speaker 2: of yours. What's the latest? What are you hearing?
Speaker 27: Yes, Look, the budget undergoes a bit of a review
Speaker 27: every year. I don't think that's particularly formal or anything,
Speaker 27: but like any anything, you're doing business, and you know, football.
Speaker 2: Is a business.
Speaker 27: You know, it's got to pay its way. It's got
Speaker 27: it's got to be able to be affordable for the
Speaker 27: w Footy Commissioner or what are they called now wo
Speaker 27: football And there was a there was a review at
Speaker 27: the start of this year and they needed to cut
Speaker 27: some cost out, so they cut some pages and those
Speaker 27: pages were actually reinstarted a couple of weeks ago because
Speaker 27: of some of the Rusten and Waffle fans who wanted
Speaker 27: a bit more content in the budget. So one of
Speaker 27: those things was actually my column. So Myke column has
Speaker 27: been running since twenty eleven, wasn't running from the start
Speaker 27: of this year, but was reinstarted a few weeks ago
Speaker 27: along with Rick Gorsey's page, which is a waffle footy
Speaker 27: facts and also some other pages that had fixtures and
Speaker 27: ladders and things like that. So there is content in
Speaker 27: the footy budget still that has been there all this year,
Speaker 27: which is usually produced internally by the commission. Mark Reddings
Speaker 27: or Jordan mccardal or one of those guys will produce
Speaker 27: a sort of a story of about two pages for
Speaker 27: the start of the budget, but certainly most of the
Speaker 27: budget these days is the team list.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Sean, knowing enough about how printing operations work,
Speaker 2: you go up in multiples of four pages. Ordinarily don't
Speaker 2: you get to four, eight, twelves whatever, yea.
Speaker 27: Fours or eights you've got to pull out depending on
Speaker 27: the style of printing.
Speaker 6: That it is a right.
Speaker 2: So last time I went was to watch the Mighty
Speaker 2: Royals play the Falcons on WA Day and the budget
Speaker 2: was was it. We can talk about that till the
Speaker 2: cows come home, mate.
Speaker 27: Now let's not think some but it was.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a pretty skinny little addition. So there's
Speaker 2: four new pages have gone back in, including your column,
Speaker 2: and it's still the same size. Its almost like an
Speaker 2: a five size, isn't it.
Speaker 27: It is a snake five size. Those four pages went
Speaker 27: back in for the weekend just on so they were
Speaker 27: they were missing for the previous weekend, but that was
Speaker 27: that was some special reason for that they were missing
Speaker 27: for that weekend, but they had been in the weekend
Speaker 27: before that, and that was the date of the reinstatement.
Speaker 27: But look, one of the one of the things that's
Speaker 27: happened I guess with the with the budget is there
Speaker 27: are so many extra games played now, so you know,
Speaker 27: there's women's football. There wasn't women's football, or certainly it
Speaker 27: wasn't the Waffle w five years ago. So now all
Speaker 27: those team lists need to go into the budget, as
Speaker 27: do the Rogers Cup team lists. So so unless they're
Speaker 27: going to push out the size of the budget, which
Speaker 27: you know means bigger costs, and those costs do get
Speaker 27: passed on to the clubs because it's the clubs that
Speaker 27: obviously sell the budget and get the get the money
Speaker 27: in the door from selling the budget or giving it
Speaker 27: to their to their paying customers who are paying to
Speaker 27: enter the football. You know, So unless you're you're actually
Speaker 27: going to increase the size. Then you've got to cut
Speaker 27: some other content to get those team lists in, because
Speaker 27: the main purpose of the budget is to have those
Speaker 27: team lists.
Speaker 2: Yeah, very instinct, Hey, Sean, there were from memory, I
Speaker 2: think there were. There was an era of budgets that
Speaker 2: you didn't have, and you're always asking people if they did,
Speaker 2: because you've got most of them.
Speaker 27: Have any going back, Look I'm missing I'm missing maybe
Speaker 27: forty or fifty back to nineteen thirty six, which is
Speaker 27: when the budget started. There was a program before that.
Speaker 27: It was just basically the same thing, renamed the WA
Speaker 27: Football And they're particularly hard to find nineteen twenty one
Speaker 27: to nineteen thirty five, but pretty much anything before about
Speaker 27: the mid fifties is very difficult.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the mobile forty cards albums you got those
Speaker 2: might have made.
Speaker 27: Yeah, nineteen sixty four, nineteen sixty five, and nineteen six
Speaker 27: of any one, they did forty cards in each set,
Speaker 27: and you know, I think a lot of people grew
Speaker 27: up collecting that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got the nineteen seventy one version, no doubt
Speaker 2: about that, Sean. Really good to talk to you, Thanks
Speaker 2: for having a chat. Really good that your column's back
Speaker 2: in there. So you're right one from Canada this week,
Speaker 2: will you?
Speaker 19: I did.
Speaker 27: I actually filed it last night, mate, so it was
Speaker 27: it was sent through and Jackie who's been producing the
Speaker 27: budget that does the production, she was filing back and
Speaker 27: confirming and receipt and that'll be in this week's budget.
Speaker 2: Yeah, brilliant. All right, it was nice to have you
Speaker 2: back in there, mate, and thank you for talking to
Speaker 2: us from Canada. Last time I was there, there was
Speaker 2: a beer called the Bats Blue that was six point
Speaker 2: nine percent. Sean, I would have tried to vote real clear,
Speaker 2: trying to avoid that like the plague. If you can,
Speaker 2: I reckon.
Speaker 27: I think I'm going to stick to the Canadian club, mate,
Speaker 27: But thank you.
Speaker 2: No you well, thanks for chatting to a Sean good
Speaker 2: ma'am any times. I'm cheers, mate, Sean Cowen. The ego, Peter,
Speaker 2: if you're listening incomprehensive, Hey from Shawney. So his column's
Speaker 2: back in. So it's gone. It's expanded by four pages.
Speaker 2: The reason it was cut back, Peter, was for costs reasons.
Speaker 2: The costs are paid by the clubs. There's also the
Speaker 2: waffle w competition needs to be included. Those teams list
Speaker 2: and the Rogers Cup. I don't know what the Rogers
Speaker 2: Cup is that colts. I don't know if someone will know,
Speaker 2: but Shawn's colin goes back in and there's a bit
Speaker 2: of other stuff back in there as well. So you'll
Speaker 2: see the budget expand by four pages. Peter, thanks to
Speaker 2: Sean Cown and thanks for sending in your correspondence. Sadly,
Speaker 2: we've seen the students in the Eastern States pass away
Speaker 2: from what appears to be excessive caffeine ingestion. And I
Speaker 2: want to talk about sleep today. Is sometimes, you know,
Speaker 2: when you're a student, sometimes you might try and get
Speaker 2: yourself through an exam or an assignment period and where
Speaker 2: you don't want to sleep. But most of us spend
Speaker 2: most of our us trying to get to sleep. Have
Speaker 2: we got any trips to stay awake or go to sleep?
Speaker 2: Talk about sleep? Just a sey your tricks to either
Speaker 2: stay away with your trips for going to sleep. There's
Speaker 2: a thing called cognitive shuffling, which you're going to talk
Speaker 2: about in just a moment called to twelve now. Mary says,
Speaker 2: thank you, Mary, Mary says the Rogers Cup is women's colts.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Mary. And natal Lee says it's women's footy
Speaker 2: and colts pooty. Hey, Natalie, thank you. I've always been
Speaker 2: curious that, Kyle says, Kylie, how did the name the
Speaker 2: budget come about? What does have that to do with football?
Speaker 2: What does they have to do with it all? I
Speaker 2: don't know, Kylie, anyone know how whit it's called the budget?
Speaker 2: Was it because of the sponsor? Was it the car people?
Speaker 2: I honestly don't know the budget. The record is the
Speaker 2: AFL one and the budgets our Jeff says footy budget.
Speaker 2: I remember detouring by a bus into Perth on a
Speaker 2: Friday after school to buy a budget. Have you had
Speaker 2: the flu this year? Lots of people saying no. This
Speaker 2: one here from Who's this from? This is from Kerry?
Speaker 2: Hello Kerry. My husband and I went to our GP
Speaker 2: and had a flu needable. A couple of weeks later
Speaker 2: we got COVID. We were both seventy four and had
Speaker 2: to get and you've virals. Scotty of Espirants today, Scott,
Speaker 2: I'm a proud Rulers member, even though I don't get
Speaker 2: too many games each year as they live in Espirants.
Speaker 2: I always buy the budget, but find it easier to
Speaker 2: read on my phone. Still, the printed version comes in handy,
Speaker 2: perfect for saving a seat by the window where you
Speaker 2: duck off to grab a frothy chop a bs is
Speaker 2: Scott Scott. I will say this is a person whose
Speaker 2: eyesight's not great. The budget is getting harder and harder
Speaker 2: to read. It's in size one font these days it's
Speaker 2: bloody hard to read. Talking about sleep, we do spend
Speaker 2: a bit of time either trying to keep ourselves awake.
Speaker 2: We're trying to get ourselves to sleep. Going to speak
Speaker 2: to someone from Monash University in just the second McGarry's
Speaker 2: phone and you've got a sleep remedy, Gary, Yes, yes
Speaker 2: I have.
Speaker 34: This is a quite a natural one. All you need
Speaker 34: to do is take two or the three of zinc
Speaker 34: tablets and also just a ad of salt, just vitually
Speaker 34: put your finger into the salt, just a little bit
Speaker 34: on your finger, put it on your tongue, as well
Speaker 34: as taking the zinc tablets as soon as you ready
Speaker 34: to put your head down, and that will send you
Speaker 34: into a good sleep.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, right through the night. Ablutions notwithstanding, well
Speaker 2: I'm not too sure. Sometimes you need to get up
Speaker 2: for a week as.
Speaker 34: Oh, yes, yeah. No, well that's quite the normal with
Speaker 34: me because I'm a fair aid sort of thing. But yeah,
Speaker 34: once or twice I suppose.
Speaker 2: You know, but zinc three zinc tablets and salt on
Speaker 2: the tongue. That works for you.
Speaker 34: Yes, and I'm sure I'll work with a lot of
Speaker 34: other people too without having the defense of buying or
Speaker 34: trying to get scripts for sleeping tablets.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, good to talk to you, Gary, Thank you, mate,
Speaker 2: have a good day here he's gone. Linda Jackson is
Speaker 2: an Associate Professor professor in psychology set Monash the Turner
Speaker 2: Institute for Brain and Mental Health. Good ame me, Linda.
Speaker 2: How are you?
Speaker 35: I'm well?
Speaker 6: How are you?
Speaker 2: I'm very well? Thank you? Can you? This is a
Speaker 2: new term to me or for me, cognitive shuffling?
Speaker 6: What is it?
Speaker 10: Yes?
Speaker 35: Yeah, so this is an interesting technique developed a few
Speaker 35: years ago, and it's just a way to try and
Speaker 35: help us to divert attention away from interfering thoughts when
Speaker 35: we're trying to drop off to sleep. So it can
Speaker 35: be helpful for people who perhaps have difficulties falling asleep
Speaker 35: when they first get into bed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, And what does it look like practically? What
Speaker 2: I've heard. It's It may involve letters, it may involve imagery.
Speaker 2: What can you explain it?
Speaker 35: Yeah, of course. So the idea here is to think
Speaker 35: briefly about a really neutral or pleasant target and then
Speaker 35: switch to unrelated targets every five to fifteen seconds. So
Speaker 35: I'll give you an example. So you might pick a
Speaker 35: random word such as bike, and then you focus on
Speaker 35: the first letter of the word, so B, and then
Speaker 35: you start to list a bunch of words that start
Speaker 35: with that letter, say that, bake, bark, whatever it is.
Speaker 35: And as you go through each of those words, you
Speaker 35: start to create a mental image of the word as
Speaker 35: you go along. And then when you feel ready, you'll
Speaker 35: move over to the next letter of bike, which is I,
Speaker 35: and then you repeat the process, and then you continue
Speaker 35: with each letter. And so the idea here, even though
Speaker 35: there's not huge scientific evidence for this approach, it's about
Speaker 35: just trying to change our thought processes a little bit
Speaker 35: and perhaps distract ourselves from other intrusive thoughts that might
Speaker 35: come in that prevent us from falling asleep.
Speaker 2: Ever, given it a will, Melinda, does it work for you?
Speaker 35: I can't say. I have to be honest this one.
Speaker 35: I haven't tried before. It is a newer kind of concept,
Speaker 35: but it's getting a lot of social media interests. It's
Speaker 35: all over TikTok at the moment. So you know, I
Speaker 35: think for people who perhaps are having difficulties falling asleep
Speaker 35: from time to time, it might be worth trying because
Speaker 35: we know that this is how our brains would normally
Speaker 35: for you know, the thought processes that normally would happen.
Speaker 35: As we fall asleep, our brain activity starts to slow down,
Speaker 35: and we start to generate sort of images and fleeting
Speaker 35: scenes and without consciousness that this is sort of not
Speaker 35: really you know, we're not really making sense of this.
Speaker 35: And so this process, this cognitive shuffling, this kind of
Speaker 35: mimics the natural process that happens in our brains, particularly
Speaker 35: for a good sleeper.
Speaker 2: On the other side of malenda, sometimes in our lives
Speaker 2: and you know, whether you have a set of you
Speaker 2: university exams or whatever it is, sometimes you need to
Speaker 2: try and stay awake for longer than you would like
Speaker 2: without affecting your health. We'd very sad story that Thesa
Speaker 2: States UNI student has overdosed on caffeine tablets. Do you
Speaker 2: have any any healthy, healthy ways of staying awake.
Speaker 35: Yeah, so I guess you know, if there are times
Speaker 35: where we do need to stay awake later in the evening,
Speaker 35: then you know, perhaps having some caffeine, perhaps not caffeine tablets,
Speaker 35: but you know, even just a cup of coffee later
Speaker 35: in the day where we normally wouldn't recommend that that
Speaker 35: might just help to keep you awake a little bit later.
Speaker 35: But also you know, maybe planning ahead and having a
Speaker 35: bit of a nap during the day if you know
Speaker 35: you have to stay up later at night, that might
Speaker 35: just help to sustain you and you know, so that
Speaker 35: you're able to maintain your alertness later into the evening.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Melinda, thanks for chatting to us today.
Speaker 2: We'll see what our listeners think, what they what little
Speaker 2: techniques they may use, healthy ones of course. Well appreciate
Speaker 2: the chat.
Speaker 33: Thanks, thank you.
Speaker 2: See I'm Linda Jackson, Associate Professor in psychology at Monash University,
Speaker 2: the Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health. Cognitive shuffling,
Speaker 2: you get a word, you know, you take the letter.
Speaker 2: I guess you know it's apparent what it means. You're
Speaker 2: distracting yourself, isn't it, And you try to shuffle different
Speaker 2: words and disassociate from the job at hand. I think
Speaker 2: if you try to tell yourself to go to go
Speaker 2: to sleep, you never can, can you. That's the that's
Speaker 2: the great iron of it. And trying to stay awake,
Speaker 2: and what do you do. I don't I think that
Speaker 2: you can still buy over the counter medications like no dose.
Speaker 2: I think I think you can buy noes to keep
Speaker 2: yourself awake. It's a bit of a university trick. Maybe
Speaker 2: some diet coke or coke. Don't know that having too
Speaker 2: much coke or diet coke is healthy for you because
Speaker 2: of the cyclo mates and the other things. Four minutes
Speaker 2: to mid day Summer Google will join us after twelve
Speaker 2: gardening questions in early but I'd love to hear from
Speaker 2: you one double three eight eddy two or you can
Speaker 2: text the zero four, eight seven, triple nine eight etty two.
Speaker 2: Thanks listening there today. After midday today, Sue mc google
Speaker 2: am will join us to gardening and Home Hoarder cooxus,
Speaker 2: So get your gardening calls. Are ready to come in
Speaker 2: yes or no, keeping a tally right through to one o'clock.
Speaker 2: Have you had the flu this season? The yes is
Speaker 2: are twenty four the Nose fifty six. Thanks for listening
Speaker 2: midday right now. Sue mcgogle, Hello.
Speaker 32: Hi, Saren, how are you.
Speaker 11: I was thinking, you know, when you say I haven't
Speaker 11: got the flu yet, next week you get it.
Speaker 1: That's that's superstitious.
Speaker 2: So don't even mention it. Don't get too far ahead
Speaker 2: of yourself. Exactly right, had it?
Speaker 32: I get a flu shot every year? I yeah, I years.
Speaker 11: A guy had it and I said, I don't want
Speaker 11: to be that sick ever again. So and I haven't
Speaker 11: got time to be that sick, and so I always yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's right, So I do. I'm going to
Speaker 2: ask you about lightscaping just a moment. I was up
Speaker 2: there the other night having a wander through the beautiful
Speaker 2: gardens and all these security guards is, mate, you can't
Speaker 2: go down there. You can't go down there. You need
Speaker 2: to turn around. There's fences, which to me. In the case,
Speaker 2: it's been popular. He's got some numbers through the door.
Speaker 32: It's been really popular some of this year.
Speaker 11: The whole displays talking about pollinators and Can't Live without
Speaker 11: You and talking about plan adaptations for our West Australian
Speaker 11: flora uniqueness. But it's also a little bit of education,
Speaker 11: a little bit of community art, international artists. So it's
Speaker 11: a great way to appreciate the Botanic Garden at a
Speaker 11: time you wouldn't always it would never be lit up,
Speaker 11: of course, and so being able to appreciate our unique
Speaker 11: asset that we've got something we feel very very special
Speaker 11: and privileged. And I think being able to put a
Speaker 11: focus on the West Australian Botanic Garden to a group families.
Speaker 11: And when I was going through LightScape on the preview night,
Speaker 11: it was so heartening to hear and see all these
Speaker 11: kids were just ah, so mesmerized and just it's so
Speaker 11: magical and I think, you know, your team quite a
Speaker 11: few of those said it was fantastic. Yeah it was
Speaker 11: raining and they just said it added to it, and
Speaker 11: I think it does.
Speaker 2: It's a great part of the park. I mean there's
Speaker 2: lots of great parts of King's Park. It's so different
Speaker 2: in different parts. But that natural amphitheater that runs down
Speaker 2: to the fountain and the surround and the creek that
Speaker 2: runs through is it's a really specky bit, isn't it.
Speaker 11: It is a specky bit and it's actually we feel
Speaker 11: very privileged. The whole team a huge sense of a
Speaker 11: responsibility to be able to care for it and present
Speaker 11: it in a way that focuses on our living collection
Speaker 11: and focuses on the West Australian flora, but also be
Speaker 11: able to appreciate it in its natural state. And I
Speaker 11: think that that's something really really significant for Western Australia.
Speaker 11: I mean, it's unique location across the world. There's not
Speaker 11: many well we know, there's no inner city parks that
Speaker 11: have that much bushland in a urban environment. It's one
Speaker 11: of the largest inner city parks in the world, but
Speaker 11: also one of the few botanic gardens that focuses on
Speaker 11: the local flora, and that research, of course is getting
Speaker 11: more and more important for the future.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's plenty of to do it. There have plenty
Speaker 2: of walks to be had in little jogs and bike
Speaker 2: rides and sweeping views. Any animals of introduced animals at
Speaker 2: the moment too. I've seen Maron, I've I've seen a
Speaker 2: white rabbit as you know.
Speaker 32: Yeah, exactly. We did have a few chucks for a while.
Speaker 11: When I say introduced, I think there's a few foxes around,
Speaker 11: but I haven't seen any chucks for a while, so
Speaker 11: exit too expensive that nobody's dumping their chooks anywhere. I
Speaker 11: don't think, Simon, but I'm sure we'll find out. We
Speaker 11: are absolutely hammered by rabbits every year. And you know
Speaker 11: the we plant over fifty thousand annual plants to make
Speaker 11: that beautiful display in spring, and we're not fifty fifty
Speaker 11: in total thousands of our annual plants.
Speaker 32: And they are like lollies to rabbits.
Speaker 2: Yes, and so may you.
Speaker 11: One of our hordiculturists from who looks after the particular
Speaker 11: entrance the botanic garden, she's cursings all the time.
Speaker 32: So if anyone's got any ideas to hear.
Speaker 2: You've never been a massive fan of rabbits, given the
Speaker 2: damage they can do. I know you've long long advocated
Speaker 2: against the rabbit community. Wendy's phoned in, Hi, Wendy, Oh,
Speaker 2: I'd like to know.
Speaker 21: Is it too late to prove a mango tree.
Speaker 11: I'd say yes, we're just at the start of winter
Speaker 11: and there's a couple of things. Depending on our season,
Speaker 11: there won't be too many weeks away and people will
Speaker 11: be ringing up saying, oh, my mango tree is flowering,
Speaker 11: because when it's quite a warm.
Speaker 32: Start to the season.
Speaker 11: They flower very early and if we prune it now
Speaker 11: we have a little bit of warm weather and it
Speaker 11: sends out its new growth. We're going to prune off
Speaker 11: either some of the flowering stalks, but also open up
Speaker 11: areas to anthracnose and n threat nose is the problem
Speaker 11: that mangoes get with the cold weather. That beautiful new
Speaker 11: growth that comes through can get damaged by the cold.
Speaker 11: So we wait for it to flower. Well, look at it,
Speaker 11: and then you will selectively prune some of the branches
Speaker 11: out at the beginning of spring, and those branches. Make
Speaker 11: sure you leave the branches that are going to protect
Speaker 11: the fruit because the fruit holds onto the tree for
Speaker 11: such a long time. Right over summer and trim you
Speaker 11: almost trim say a half or a third of those
Speaker 11: branches out, and next year what you haven't pruned, you
Speaker 11: prune again. So you're selectively thinning out the branches to
Speaker 11: shape it.
Speaker 20: Oh excellent, okay, all right, thank you very much, sir.
Speaker 32: That's okay. Savor jokes.
Speaker 2: Do you say Glendelow Glendelock?
Speaker 32: I say Glendelow, But should it be.
Speaker 2: Lock on the train? They say Glendelow, don't they?
Speaker 32: Yeah, I think so. I think so. I'd never even
Speaker 32: thought about it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we go all right, that's.
Speaker 32: A dilemma, isn't it. Now I'm worried.
Speaker 2: Very much.
Speaker 36: Yeah, here you go.
Speaker 22: So I've got a grass trees so hard one. Yeah,
Speaker 22: I got more header into it to prune all the
Speaker 22: dead bush under me. No, people are saying, now, just
Speaker 22: right up to get rid of the rest of the
Speaker 22: dead stuff around the head.
Speaker 37: Is that right?
Speaker 32: What's the fire risk of everything around it?
Speaker 6: They go up.
Speaker 2: You would not believe they just spark grass trees.
Speaker 32: Yeah they do.
Speaker 6: They do.
Speaker 11: Oh, they're just so dry, so dry, and you'll end
Speaker 11: up with sparks that don't last for very long.
Speaker 32: But yeah, they just go up.
Speaker 11: What what it does do, Nick, is it cleans up
Speaker 11: any scale insects that are in it, or any bugs
Speaker 11: that are in it. And so I the traditional way
Speaker 11: that they're being managed in urban landscapes as well is
Speaker 11: that I said them a light and it cleans them
Speaker 11: up and then they develop that skirt because they are
Speaker 11: a are a fire hazard as well. But whilst the
Speaker 11: skirt is there, they're also a really good habitat for
Speaker 11: bandicoots and things. So yes, what it tends to do
Speaker 11: also is encourage them to send out a flower stalk
Speaker 11: as well.
Speaker 32: So it depends on what you want to do.
Speaker 11: Be super careful of any other foliage around it, Nick,
Speaker 11: or any house, anything that's flammable around it, because it
Speaker 11: certainly will go up.
Speaker 22: Yep, no, yeah, true, true. But I've trimmed, I've trimmed
Speaker 22: or of dead rod off as much. And I know
Speaker 22: what you're saying up, so I just I just want
Speaker 22: to make sure it's not going to kill.
Speaker 2: It, won't kill it at all. Yeah, thank you, thanks,
Speaker 2: good on mate. Hello Linley, how are you?
Speaker 17: Hello?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hi Linny, Hi, hey.
Speaker 17: Gang, thank you. So I'd like to out there and
Speaker 17: have a look at some kangaroo paus, but I have
Speaker 17: been some a walking so for trolley thing. So where
Speaker 17: can I park and get.
Speaker 11: Up there to go in to light escape Lindley or
Speaker 11: to the Botanic Garden to have a look at the
Speaker 11: kangaroo paws.
Speaker 17: Yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 11: So if you go to the main car park if
Speaker 11: you have a trolley walking, we have accessible pathways, so
Speaker 11: there are atron parking bays right at the front that's
Speaker 11: closest to our stakes.
Speaker 32: Yeah, no problem at all with that.
Speaker 11: And then what we call our mound, so that features
Speaker 11: our West Australian flora. So if you only have such
Speaker 11: a short time in spring, they're looking amazing. So the
Speaker 11: kangaroo paws aren't quite looking amazing yet, just a little
Speaker 11: bit early in the season. So in September early September
Speaker 11: Lindley is when you would head on lots of acron
Speaker 11: parking there. It's only short walk and then you'll see
Speaker 11: them right at the entrance to the Botanic Garden and
Speaker 11: around the mound, which is virtually opposite their entrance to aspects.
Speaker 32: Sure easy that pathway that's quite wide.
Speaker 11: And open and the mound always got yeah, we call
Speaker 11: it the mound, yeah, And it was originally the concept
Speaker 11: was conceived to be out for those people who are
Speaker 11: on a bus tour and he had a short few minutes,
Speaker 11: they can get a really good oversight of what's looking spectacular.
Speaker 11: We are why we are celebrating West Australian flora and
Speaker 11: each year, depending who's the coordinator of that area, has
Speaker 11: an opportunity to put their own take on that area.
Speaker 32: So some people absolutely love the responsibility of that.
Speaker 11: Some of our team and others feel a huge sense
Speaker 11: of responsibility to get it right. So some years the
Speaker 11: colors are very different to what the others. But that's
Speaker 11: what I think part of the allure and the romance
Speaker 11: the wo Botanic garden is.
Speaker 38: Is that?
Speaker 2: Okay, lin assorted.
Speaker 17: There, Yeah, I've a good idea. We can oaps traps.
Speaker 17: I'm sure you've got some traps too, a rabbit, your
Speaker 17: rabbits to have a stew.
Speaker 11: We'd have to get a very humane trap, Linley, because
Speaker 11: I know you can't can't do that and it probably
Speaker 11: it plays at all.
Speaker 2: So putting out traps on the mountain, yeah, exactly, thanks,
Speaker 2: But I.
Speaker 32: Think there's a few people who have fond memories of
Speaker 32: rabbit stew, isn't there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there is. Then you get up there in September,
Speaker 2: and I know the area soon means so if you
Speaker 2: part behind behind the State Reception Center and aspects is
Speaker 2: the shop, that area there and you can just virtually
Speaker 2: walk straight downs where the log used to.
Speaker 11: Be, pretty much where the log used to be, and
Speaker 11: it turned to compost and it had more concrete in
Speaker 11: it to try in the log, didn't it.
Speaker 32: So yeah, the compost has been gone back.
Speaker 2: To the soul, so it's been distributed through the park
Speaker 2: eighteen eighteen and a half minutes past midday. If you'd
Speaker 2: like to speak to so you can one double three
Speaker 2: eight eighty two. Would love to hear from you. Sue
Speaker 2: McDougal oam is with us on double three eight to two.
Speaker 2: I've liked phone, so you can.
Speaker 6: So.
Speaker 2: There's still tickets available for LightScape, isn't there?
Speaker 11: Yeah, there certainly is, and we go to I think
Speaker 11: it's the twenty seventh of July, so please book your tickets.
Speaker 11: I know the busy days of the weekends, there's peak
Speaker 11: and off peak, there's some We've really tried to keep
Speaker 11: the price down under one hundred dollars for a family
Speaker 11: to make affordable. But it's just such a fantastic event.
Speaker 11: So yeah, please book tickets. I'll say tell your friends
Speaker 11: if you've been how.
Speaker 32: Good it is?
Speaker 2: Yep, LightScape up at Kingspark. Don't have a look Kings
Speaker 2: Park and Botanic Gardens. It's twenty two minutes past twelve
Speaker 2: could I.
Speaker 19: Rod good afternoon?
Speaker 2: So I the drinad trip.
Speaker 19: I dealt with it pretty well with my roses this year,
Speaker 19: but they destroyed the daily is the question I have?
Speaker 19: Is that likely to affect the corns, I lift the
Speaker 19: corns in the ground, Is it just you know, well, yes,
Speaker 19: that's the question.
Speaker 14: That is.
Speaker 11: So chili thrips of course with roses, but there's quite
Speaker 11: a few other types of thrips. There's plague thrips, and
Speaker 11: there's western flower thrips, and so it's something that we
Speaker 11: do have to live with when we're growing gladioli, dahlias,
Speaker 11: even some of our native plants get affected by thrips.
Speaker 11: What we find is as long as the plant is
Speaker 11: growing nice and healthy, all the nutrients and the extra
Speaker 11: even if the flowers get damaged, then the foliage gets damaged.
Speaker 11: If you can keep really strong plants, strong stems, as
Speaker 11: they start to die back, the corms will still be there.
Speaker 11: Rod So your dailia tubers, I should say is what
Speaker 11: we call them, will still be their mine. Actually, dailias
Speaker 11: this year got really affected by the heat, died back
Speaker 11: down through dry and then started to shoot again when
Speaker 11: we'd had a little bit of rain. So that all
Speaker 11: totally confused as well, So totally understand it won't if
Speaker 11: you leave them there.
Speaker 32: First year.
Speaker 11: Actually, when we went to Europe first year that a
Speaker 11: couple of gardens had commented that they'd left the Dahlia
Speaker 11: tubers in the ground over winter, that's how much the
Speaker 11: climate's changed, and they were shooting away again.
Speaker 32: So leaving them there, feeding them as.
Speaker 11: They start to die back, encouraging those extra nutrients go
Speaker 11: back to the tuba is going to help the plants
Speaker 11: for next season.
Speaker 2: Great.
Speaker 19: One other question, if if I good, please, seedlings seem
Speaker 19: to be in short supply. Is there are you aware
Speaker 19: of any reason why they're not producing?
Speaker 11: I am, and it's actually a really good topic that
Speaker 11: we need to talk about. One of the major suppliers
Speaker 11: has stopped their flower production. They're actually moving and we
Speaker 11: have had a problem being able to source Australia in
Speaker 11: Western Australia major production and they are in short supply.
Speaker 11: I know for a fact that business is reviewing their
Speaker 11: product mix and with our changing climate, questioning whether annual
Speaker 11: seedlings are actually going to be part of the product
Speaker 11: mix in the numbers that they had going forward in
Speaker 11: the future, and so looking at some of the hardier varieties,
Speaker 11: looking at protocols to grow some of our West Australian
Speaker 11: plants as.
Speaker 32: Well as annual seedlings.
Speaker 11: And so because of that supplier coming out of the market,
Speaker 11: and that is linked to availability of water for them
Speaker 11: to grow the plants as well. So it's a much
Speaker 11: bigger picture than staff availability or the industry just not
Speaker 11: being geared up or expected demand. There's much bigger questions
Speaker 11: being asked at the moment or being reviewed at the moment.
Speaker 15: Rod.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Rob, watch this space so soon. Can
Speaker 2: I keep you appraise of that? Mate? Thank you very
Speaker 2: much for your calls today on dahlias and ceilings. Can
Speaker 2: they Harry?
Speaker 31: Oh Hill, here you goes Hi, Harry.
Speaker 20: So I value your information, I really do.
Speaker 31: But I've got a Mandarin three which I've had now
Speaker 31: for close on twenty five years. I've done anything and
Speaker 31: everything with it. I've even removed the existing soil, which
Speaker 31: was the usual beat stand up at Jodler, and I've
Speaker 31: actually put really good rich soil and that was made
Speaker 31: for me by a soil mob yep. And it produced mandarins. Yes,
Speaker 31: for the last three years it's been producing mandarins.
Speaker 9: But they are totally inedible.
Speaker 31: They are so sour and smell really bitter.
Speaker 9: Yeah, what am I doing?
Speaker 27: What am I doing wrong?
Speaker 32: Is it a mandarin tree?
Speaker 11: That's what we want to ask to start with, Is
Speaker 11: it a mandarin tree, is it kalamondon which looks like
Speaker 11: a mandarin a little round fruit. Depending on the variety.
Speaker 11: I would say you're an incredibly patient person because after
Speaker 11: that time, if that sour that variety I suspect is
Speaker 11: actually not a mandarin. It's been labeled wrong twenty five years,
Speaker 11: that's amazing, or it's roots that that's taken over, or
Speaker 11: it's actually a kalamandon. To start with, Harry, there's a
Speaker 11: couple of things that you can Usually you can tell
Speaker 11: a mandarin by the leaf shape. It's quite specific. But
Speaker 11: if you crunch the leaves you will be able to
Speaker 11: smell mandarin in. It sounds silly, but it's true. If
Speaker 11: it's a lime tree, if you crunch the leaves, you
Speaker 11: can smell lime. So you can get a really bit
Speaker 11: of an idea of what it actually is. And I
Speaker 11: would be suspecting it may be either a calamondon, which
Speaker 11: looks similar, very small round fruit.
Speaker 32: Harry, No, exactly. I think it's the tree. It's a tree.
Speaker 18: It might be.
Speaker 32: Marmalade, might not be.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it might not be a mandarin. Give that a bill, Harry.
Speaker 2: See what you come up with, and we we're here.
Speaker 2: You know for to talk to Sue each and every week.
Speaker 2: So let us know how you go. Harry's gone THINGU
Speaker 2: Max gooda.
Speaker 32: Bob Okay, Hi Bob, how can we help you with
Speaker 32: your roses?
Speaker 20: When do I prune my roses?
Speaker 2: Where do you live?
Speaker 20: Ellen Brook?
Speaker 32: Okay?
Speaker 2: Roses?
Speaker 21: This year?
Speaker 11: I know they're having lots of late flowers self. Notice
Speaker 11: still quite a few roses hanging on. It's a very
Speaker 11: fine line to when they slow down totally and you've
Speaker 11: still got a few flowers, so you think, ah, just
Speaker 11: put some just leave them for a little while to
Speaker 11: enjoy those flowers. So middle of July to the end
Speaker 11: of July, Bob, is when we'd be looking at pruning
Speaker 11: them for this year. We are in the middle of June.
Speaker 11: We still need about three or four weeks. I think
Speaker 11: this cold weather helps, even though it's still not freezing
Speaker 11: and the nighttime temperatures. We want those plants to slow down.
Speaker 11: So even if you've still got leaves on them, when
Speaker 11: you prune them, if you can give them, pull all
Speaker 11: the old foliage off, and if there's any sap flowing
Speaker 11: or any new growth coming through with your roses, give
Speaker 11: them a cover spray of white oil rather than lime sulfur,
Speaker 11: because lime sulfur will burn the new growth that's coming through,
Speaker 11: and whit tool will just clean up any might insects,
Speaker 11: any bugs, any sky insects, and be really good winter
Speaker 11: spray for you to give them a good start for
Speaker 11: spring flowering.
Speaker 2: That okay, Bob, Oh, thank you Lad. Good on your
Speaker 2: mate Bob from ellen Brook World. Done, Bob, get a Patricia.
Speaker 36: Yes, the previous caller said he'd got on top of
Speaker 36: chili thriaps on his roses, and I've been battling it
Speaker 36: for three years, so perhaps you can know what he
Speaker 36: did to get on top of it.
Speaker 32: I know that that was Rod, wasn't it.
Speaker 11: Rod has a absolutely regimented program I think you mentioned
Speaker 11: it before of spraying every week and alternating the spray
Speaker 11: so using natros, using success, using oils to really keep
Speaker 11: on top of it, and allowing air movement around the roses.
Speaker 32: And it's you can't you can't miss.
Speaker 11: It for a week or you know, in three weeks
Speaker 11: you think I'll fix it, and they just still keep
Speaker 11: coming back.
Speaker 2: So, Patricia, so those brands that get suit of go
Speaker 2: through it, but yates, Success, gneam oil and or natural soap,
Speaker 2: and I think from memory talking to you, so you
Speaker 2: need to get underneath the leafs as well as on top.
Speaker 2: Don't you need to be pretty good drenching.
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's exactly it you can use. And most of
Speaker 11: those are contacts brays because the problem with using anything
Speaker 11: anything more, that's the reason why you have to go
Speaker 11: under the foliage is the thrips don't suck the sap,
Speaker 11: so they don't take the nutrients or they don't take
Speaker 11: anything up by the plant. They only rasp away at
Speaker 11: the outside and rasping away. That's why they're incredibly hard
Speaker 11: to control.
Speaker 6: Yep.
Speaker 2: And I think also you've encouraged making the root system stronger, stronger.
Speaker 32: Yeah, so thick cell walls is what we want to do.
Speaker 11: We want strong stems, we want high potassium softa de
Speaker 11: potash is really important for roses. It only helps, not
Speaker 11: only helps flowering of course, increases and intensifies perfume in
Speaker 11: those perfume varieties.
Speaker 2: All right, thank you, Patricia, thanks for calling. We always
Speaker 2: get a chili thrip call or two, don't we, Sue, Sue,

Speaker 2: joins us from our production area today our executive producer,
Speaker 2: good a mate, you spot of this story today.
Speaker 37: Yes, it's a sad, good afternoon to you, Bowie. It's
Speaker 37: a sad story that's emerging from Donnybrook, one of the
Speaker 37: great locations in Wa.
Speaker 2: Good for apples for apples, bakery.
Speaker 37: It has a good visit to Santae Playground and very
Speaker 37: good playground, but with sad news has come through reported
Speaker 37: by the ABC. In the Southwest of Donnybrook visitors center
Speaker 37: and the station markets are set to close because of
Speaker 37: funding carts. So the local shower budget has come through.
Speaker 37: They obviously have to get things sorted before the new
Speaker 37: financial year and because of the budget restraints, they've decided
Speaker 37: they're going to cut the funding from the groups that
Speaker 37: organize the station markets and also cut funding from the
Speaker 37: visitor center so they will be no longer cost of
Speaker 37: living crisis again.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so the pooral Shore of Donnybrook bailing up cutting
Speaker 2: the service. I think they've got one staff member shaw
Speaker 2: and a dozen volunteers, so that's a shame. There are
Speaker 2: some great visitor centers right through Western Australia. The Albany
Speaker 2: one is unbelievable. The Caravan Ones is terrific as well.
Speaker 2: In Swan Valley there's a fantastic visitor center as well.
Speaker 2: But I wanted to ask you about markets because of
Speaker 2: a few over your way. There's a ripper market at
Speaker 2: near Lake Clamont on a Saturday morning, isn't there so listeners.
Speaker 2: We want to know where the good markets are, the growers' markets,
Speaker 2: fresh produce markets. Can we and can we open it
Speaker 2: up as well?
Speaker 37: Because I did a little bit of dicking and you know,
Speaker 37: some people go in and investigate bits and pieces the government,
Speaker 37: like Caroline Spencers of the world. I look at the
Speaker 37: different markets and there's quite a few different markets around Perth.
Speaker 37: We're not talking just about growers' markets, which are great
Speaker 37: fresh produce which will set you up for the week.
Speaker 37: And there's a good one in Subiaco. There's a good
Speaker 37: one in Clermont that you just mentioned that I know about,
Speaker 37: but I think historically there's a great one.
Speaker 2: In Midland with rippering, caring up, gearing up shops, ripper
Speaker 2: and these are car park markets and car park markets
Speaker 2: people that come in just for the day.
Speaker 37: They bring their fresh produce from wherever, usually you know,
Speaker 37: out towards this one.
Speaker 2: Valley and those sort of places out that way.
Speaker 37: They come in and they sell their plants, they sell
Speaker 37: their vegitables, clothes. They sometimes close as well. And now
Speaker 37: we go into the artisan market territory. We're down south, well,
Speaker 37: I say south to a free away. There's a couple
Speaker 37: of great artisan markets, so that's your secondhand clothes, and
Speaker 37: you'll know people that just love their thrift shopping. I
Speaker 37: think I said that right, you did Chili thrip. I
Speaker 37: get really confused with shopping. They're not interchangeable. And there's
Speaker 37: a few of these different artistan markets which pop off.
Speaker 37: And then we can't forget the food markets, the Scarborough
Speaker 37: food Market, the market, it's amazing. The Hawker market that
Speaker 37: comes to the city of Perth, they're amazing as well.
Speaker 37: And then and then I look back fondly. I spent
Speaker 37: a bit of time pavilion and station street markets in
Speaker 37: in in Subiaci, which no longer exists. In Freemanner they've
Speaker 37: still got probably I dare I say the best market
Speaker 37: in Perth, maybe even w w A the market in Frio.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm looking at you trying to gain it. No,
Speaker 2: it's got the antique shops and it's got a lot
Speaker 2: of it's got some permanency about it does so that's
Speaker 2: I'll get you there. I think you're right about that.
Speaker 2: So what we want from our list is car park markets,
Speaker 2: artisan markets, fresh produce marks, anything like. We're the good
Speaker 2: markets at the moment, and.
Speaker 37: The Margaret River fresh produce market is one of the
Speaker 37: great markets as well, and it's a bit off the obviously,
Speaker 37: bit off the beaten track, drive a few hours to
Speaker 37: get there.
Speaker 2: So most of these are said, I think Palmira's got
Speaker 2: a good market. It does, yes, memory yes, And I
Speaker 2: think there's one more that I'm going to hold back,
Speaker 2: which I reckons that ripprid. It's a car park market
Speaker 2: and it's got clothes. I saw Steve Butler by a
Speaker 2: scoop net, a crab scoop net at it. I did, Yeah,
Speaker 2: best day of his life. Five bucks for a scoop net.
Speaker 2: What does the scoop net? Five dollars? Five dollars? Yeah?
Speaker 2: So happy was he wearing?
Speaker 11: What was he?
Speaker 6: Was he wearing?
Speaker 2: Steve Butler? Was he Steve not John Butler? I thought
Speaker 2: it John Butler's and John Steve. Steve lives in Palmyras,
Speaker 2: you know, powerhouse, so he's two very different Butlers, aren't
Speaker 2: They get you Butler? But the Inglewood night markets are
Speaker 2: very good.
Speaker 37: There's a Perth up market, so the u W way
Speaker 37: do it about three or four times a year, so
Speaker 37: they invite people to artisan staff niche markets. So that's
Speaker 37: the Perth Up market, which is very good. So there's
Speaker 37: plenty around. Yeah, it's sill listen think brilliant mate.
Speaker 2: But sadly where we started is the donny Brook Visitor
Speaker 2: Center and their station markets are closing down unless the
Speaker 2: show I can come up with some more duck.
Speaker 37: It was only the open it only opened once every
Speaker 37: three Saturdays. Every third Saturday, Bok markets would open up
Speaker 37: and you can bring your stool and your produce and
Speaker 37: they just don't have the funding.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but those local shires, as you know, they do
Speaker 2: struggle a little bit. Yeah, smell of an Aarli rag stuff.
Speaker 2: She's mate, brilliantly done a Shawan Lindsay, our executive producer
Speaker 2: here at Perth today. Wear are the good markets, the
Speaker 2: car park markets, the fresh produce ones. Some of them
Speaker 2: run once a week, someone run every fortnite and some
Speaker 2: of them are very popular. Carry ups a big one
Speaker 2: out my way. There's another big one south of the river.
Speaker 2: It's on one of the major highways one double three
Speaker 2: eighty two. It's a cracker. The markets, where are they?
Speaker 2: Where do you like going? Why do you like and
Speaker 2: what do you wear? What do you buy there? One

Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Okay, wow, well done? Do you have Have you had
Speaker 2: the flu this year? Jackoe says he's got the flu?
Speaker 2: Now out the markets, the good markets around the joint,
Speaker 2: where are they? So the station markets in Donnybrook are closing,
Speaker 2: which is a great shame. And so's a visitor center.
Speaker 2: Well the shore of donning Brook. The bailing up can't
Speaker 2: afford to keep the visitor center, which is a bit
Speaker 2: of a shame. But we're asking you today, where are
Speaker 2: the good markets today?
Speaker 22: Aaron Simon?
Speaker 13: Yeah, there's markets held Simon. But there's markets held every
Speaker 13: Sunday morning, and Rockingham held by the Apex Club. Yeah
