Speaker 1: Onto GV. This is Sitney now with.
Speaker 2: Quentin Tuesday, June eighteen, June seventeen, I should say one three,
Speaker 2: one eighty seven three is our number. Thank if you company.
Speaker 2: This afternoon, I want to kick off the program with
Speaker 2: some good news. The trains are running on time. Stop
Speaker 2: the presses. The trains are on time now this time
Speaker 2: yesterday afternoon, that wasn't the case. They are an absolute
Speaker 2: mess on the t For him from personal experience, it
Speaker 2: continued well into the night. There was an electrical problem
Speaker 2: that while I creak now does that coincide? Do you
Speaker 2: think with the Electrical Trades Union being the only one
Speaker 2: of the unions that hasn't yet come to a deal
Speaker 2: with the state government on a payer. I was just
Speaker 2: put it too and two together. I wonder if there's
Speaker 2: any link there. We're told not so. The trains in
Speaker 2: good nick this afternoon. The same can't be said for
Speaker 2: the roads. The M seven is a mess around Eastern
Speaker 2: Creek at the moment of Steve has been reporting serious
Speaker 2: accent involving a truck in a car this afternoon. The
Speaker 2: northbound lanes is still very much affected and likely for
Speaker 2: some time to come. If you see something around the
Speaker 2: roads or the public transport network that we need to
Speaker 2: know about. Please give me a call one three one
Speaker 2: eight seven three. Also on the show today, new figures
Speaker 2: have been released showing a surprising number of young Australians.
Speaker 2: We'll be able to afford a deposit for a first
Speaker 2: home under the Albanezy government special guarantee for a five
Speaker 2: percent deposit. So we talk so much about housing being
Speaker 2: unaffordable for young people, Well not so much for a deposit.
Speaker 2: But here's the twist, they can't actually afford the repayments.
Speaker 2: Mark Guy is on after five point thirty. He's in
Speaker 2: Perth for Origin two, but he's also in wa for
Speaker 2: the reunion of the Western Reds, which he did play
Speaker 2: for back in the nineties. We might actually talk about reunions,
Speaker 2: old sporting reunions and reunions at school and I will
Speaker 2: spin two GB's Winter Wheel. There's the chance to win hundreds,
Speaker 2: in fact thousands of dollars on off of this afternoon.
Speaker 2: Don't call yet, We're going to play a little later.
Speaker 2: You'll need my que to call. That's two GB's Winter Wheel.
Speaker 2: You are my eyes and ears when it's happening in
Speaker 2: Sydney now, So text me zero force like zero eight
Speaker 2: seven three eight seven three and have you say one
Speaker 2: three one eight seven three. Well in Sydney now, two
Speaker 2: men remain on the run following the braze and shooting
Speaker 2: at the Auburn Kebab shop South Parade, Auban yesterday afternoon
Speaker 2: that left three people in hospital, two men and a woman,
Speaker 2: a forty seven year old woman who was simply doing
Speaker 2: her job serving Kebabs. The head of Task Force Falcon,
Speaker 2: which is looking at Sydney's gang crime at the moment,
Speaker 2: is Jason Boxen, joins us, thank you for your time, Commander,
Speaker 2: not a problem. You still have two men on the run.
Speaker 2: Has there been any progress in the search today.
Speaker 3: We've had about forty detectives attached to Falcon and plus
Speaker 3: the regional police out doing extensive canvassing, looking at CCTV
Speaker 3: and following up a number of vehicles that were discovered
Speaker 3: early this morning that were burnout that we believe we
Speaker 3: used in these offenses. So we are continuing and we're
Speaker 3: putting all resources towards this.
Speaker 2: The Assistant commission of the Acting Commissioner should say Peter
Speaker 2: Thurtel told me yesterday that the vehicle that you were
Speaker 2: looking for was an out e Q seven. Is that
Speaker 2: one of the burnt out vehicles.
Speaker 3: Yes, that's correct, that was found burnt out and it's
Speaker 3: been retained for forensic examination.
Speaker 2: Peter Thurtel also told us this has been well reported
Speaker 2: that one of the victims, the twenty six year old man,
Speaker 2: had been the victim of two attempts in the past
Speaker 2: couple of weeks. I understand you've now confirmed there's been
Speaker 2: another attempt on.
Speaker 3: His life, including yesterday. There's been four in total that
Speaker 3: we're aware of that when this fellow's been targeted.
Speaker 2: So there was an attempt it was it a rose
Speaker 2: Hill last Friday?
Speaker 3: Yeah, last Friday, he was a premises with a number
Speaker 3: of associates and a vehicle was observed to drive pass
Speaker 3: with around four occupants with their face covered and holding
Speaker 3: a fire. That they fled that scene and police arrived
Speaker 3: a short time later and the was not able to
Speaker 3: be recovered. But that's also been discovered. BURNI out this.
Speaker 2: Morning that the ute from Friday has been found today.
Speaker 3: That's correct.
Speaker 2: Have you managed to speak to this man today?
Speaker 3: We have spoken with him on a number of occasions.
Speaker 3: We're not getting a great deal of information from him
Speaker 3: at this point.
Speaker 2: It's now been well reported that there was an attempt
Speaker 2: by the police prosecutors after the incident involving the ute
Speaker 2: in paramount of Grandville on the twenty fifth of Maine.
Speaker 2: He had been charged over a weapons offense that had
Speaker 2: been temped by the police prosecutors to refuse bail, and
Speaker 2: that wasn't agreed to when the court made that decision.
Speaker 2: How did you react to that, Jason, Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think the prosecutor is quite strong voicing our concerns
Speaker 3: for this person to be not in custody, to be
Speaker 3: allowed to remain in the community. So everything that we
Speaker 3: could put forward was put forward, and ultimately there was
Speaker 3: decision by the magistrate, which you know, it's hard for
Speaker 3: me to comment on, but you know, looking at what's
Speaker 3: happened recently, it would have been nice if our concerns
Speaker 3: were you listened to and acted upon, But you know,
Speaker 3: we are at the you know, it's relying on the
Speaker 3: magistrate making those decisions.
Speaker 2: You'll prosecute. When as far as to say that this
Speaker 2: man is at the ep center of some of these
Speaker 2: gang viotes, well.
Speaker 3: I suggest that you know that four attempts on his life,
Speaker 3: does you know it puts him right in the middle
Speaker 3: of it, and I think that's a pretty accurate description, Jason.
Speaker 2: There was the suggestion today that that the people who
Speaker 2: have carried out this latest attack had been recruited by
Speaker 2: some sort of website, maybe an air tasker style computer website.
Speaker 4: Do you know much about that they're being recruited, you know,
Speaker 4: I think it's trying to put forward that you know
Speaker 4: that there's a number of ways that they're being a
Speaker 4: word of mouth, encrypted.
Speaker 3: Devices, social media, you know, being recruited not necessarily part
Speaker 3: of the organized crime net work, but they're being recruited
Speaker 3: for these offenses and juveniles. I think you recall that
Speaker 3: I mentioned that last time, and now you know these
Speaker 3: people again. It's it's all to shame that, you know,
Speaker 3: we're under the belief that these people are being recruited
Speaker 3: specifically for these offenses.
Speaker 2: The Premier has been asked about the courts into that.
Speaker 2: I know you can't really comment about that court decision,
Speaker 2: but he has been he has been asked about and
Speaker 2: he has said that if if you require more powers,
Speaker 2: you simply need to ask the government. Is that something
Speaker 2: that the task Force under your leadership made request.
Speaker 3: We've got a prosecutors and the DPP that we deal with.
Speaker 3: But you know, without a doubt, if there's something that
Speaker 3: you know, we feel strongly about and there's an avenue
Speaker 3: for us to put forward our concerns and have the
Speaker 3: assistance of the government, we'll definitely.
Speaker 2: Look at that because the problem we've got here is
Speaker 2: that we've got a forty seven year old woman in
Speaker 2: hospital with another innocent victims as well throughout this this
Speaker 2: gang ViOn. So it just can't be allowed to continue.
Speaker 5: I can't.
Speaker 3: We're doing every cana stop it.
Speaker 2: Thank you for your time, Detective Superintendent. Thank you the
Speaker 2: commander of the Falcon Task Force, Detective Superintendent. We'll look
Speaker 2: at this issue throughout the program. But the bottom line
Speaker 2: here is a magistrate allowed the twenty six year old
Speaker 2: out on bail now he had been charged with a
Speaker 2: weapons offense, but the police prosecutors made it clear he
Speaker 2: is at the EPI center of much of this gang violence.
Speaker 2: As Jason Box has now confirmed to us. This was
Speaker 2: the fourth attempt on his life. And the issue here
Speaker 2: is you might not care if he's shot dead. I
Speaker 2: couldn't give a stuff if he dies. The problem is
Speaker 2: the people who were caught in the crossfire, like the
Speaker 2: forty seven year old woman who was simply doing her
Speaker 2: job serving kebabs in a kebab shop fourteen past three. Now,
Speaker 2: the Liberal Party has been to helen back over the
Speaker 2: past year, not only their failure at the federal election,
Speaker 2: but if you can'st your mind back to last September
Speaker 2: in New South Wales, in particular in parts of Sydney,
Speaker 2: they could not feel candidates in local government elections. Why
Speaker 2: couldn't they do that because the boss of the Liberal
Speaker 2: Party in New South Wales, Don Irwin, forgot to put
Speaker 2: the nominations in. As a result, a federal intervention has occurred.
Speaker 2: That intervention has been led by three Liberal Party elders,
Speaker 2: Peter Seat and Richard Austin and Alan Stockdale. Now you
Speaker 2: recall mister Stockdale hit the headlines a couple of weeks
Speaker 2: ago when he made some jokes about we were in
Speaker 2: the Liberal Party being assertive and he said we might
Speaker 2: need some male quotas well. Some action is now being taken.
Speaker 2: There's been a meeting of Susan Lee and senior Liberals
Speaker 2: this afternoon. Zach de Silva has been covering it. Hello,
Speaker 2: Zach Hillo, Clinton could to be with you. What's the outcome?
Speaker 2: Where's the direction of the Liberal Party going in?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 7: So senior Liberal officials have met here in Canberra. I'm
Speaker 7: outside rg Minzi's house. This is the headquarters of the
Speaker 7: Liberal Party in Canberra and I've got to say this
Speaker 7: building has seen better days. I think, much like the
Speaker 7: party in some ways. The Liberals will remain in New
Speaker 7: South Wales in administration for another nine months. That is
Speaker 7: the decision that has been eighty today. But the administration
Speaker 7: committee itself will change. So the two Victorians on it,
Speaker 7: Alan Stockdale, the one who made those comments about women,
Speaker 7: and Richard Austen, they've been dumped. They will not be
Speaker 7: involved in this committee anymore. Instead, it'll be led by
Speaker 7: Nick Griner. Now he's a former premier I think served
Speaker 7: from the late eighties to the early nineties if memory
Speaker 7: serves me right. Peter Seaton will remain, She'll work under him,
Speaker 7: and there will be a number of others Liberal Party
Speaker 7: members senior officials who will also make up this administration team.
Speaker 7: But that will remain for another nine months. This federal takeover.
Speaker 7: Susan Lee, the federal leader and others hopeful but maybe
Speaker 7: that will get the Liberals fighting fit. Given in New
Speaker 7: South Wales that the next state election really isn't that
Speaker 7: far away.
Speaker 2: It's likely to plays New South Wales liberals, I think,
Speaker 2: though none of them are happy about the federal intervention,
Speaker 2: but particularly with mister Stockdale and mister Allston, I want
Speaker 2: the issue. Has there been any said within these meetings
Speaker 2: about whether there's going to be a decision soon or
Speaker 2: whether the Liberals will contest the decision in the Court
Speaker 2: of Disputed Repeals in Bradfield.
Speaker 7: It's a million dollar question, isn't it.
Speaker 8: Clinton.
Speaker 7: There has been no decision yet, as far as I'm aware.
Speaker 7: I keep asking people, and people keep saying, oh, well,
Speaker 7: you know, wait and see them. We'll find out eventually.
Speaker 7: I've been told so far, no decision. There is a
Speaker 7: ticking timeline on this though, given the AAC has now
Speaker 7: returned the ritz for the election that happened I think
Speaker 7: last week or the week before, and there is a
Speaker 7: timeline within thirty to forty days after that. The Liberals
Speaker 7: need to declare whether they're going to challenge this, so
Speaker 7: they don't have that much longer. They're going to have
Speaker 7: to decide the challenge is if they do. Why it's
Speaker 7: quite costly running these kinds of legal challenges. And then
Speaker 7: two if they're successful, which seems like you'd have to
Speaker 7: say remote possibility. If they're successful, one of the options
Speaker 7: is Bradfield goes to a buy election and that's more
Speaker 7: money that have to bend contesting it. So for a
Speaker 7: party that's not really that flush with cash at the moment,
Speaker 7: this is a really difficult decision for them to make,
Speaker 7: and we'll have to wait and see where they land.
Speaker 2: And voters in Bradfield may not want to actually go
Speaker 2: back to the polls. Thank you, Zach Pleasure. Thanks Quentin,
Speaker 2: our federal political editor, Zach to Silver. Eighteen past three.
Speaker 2: Coming up, we're going to talk about a concept where
Speaker 2: you might be able to trade some of your working
Speaker 2: benefits with your employer to allow you to work from home.
Speaker 2: I'm going to get your thoughts on that. One one three,
Speaker 2: one eight seven three. This is Sydney now, twenty two
Speaker 2: past three. It's nineteen degrees in the coast, nineteen degrees
Speaker 2: in Penrith. If you live on the northern beaches and
Speaker 2: you aren't happy about the prospect of rates going up
Speaker 2: in the next year, you might want to take a
Speaker 2: part in the rally in the coming hours. There will
Speaker 2: be a rally outside the Northern Beaches Council chambers from
Speaker 2: six o'clock. That's outside the head office in d Why
Speaker 2: the Northern Beaches Council wants to increase rates by twenty
Speaker 2: five five percent, Well, in fact, they wanted to jack
Speaker 2: up the rates by a lot more than that. They
Speaker 2: were seeking a bigger increase of more than forty percent
Speaker 2: at one stage, but that was rejected by IPART, the
Speaker 2: independent regulator. But iparts effectively approved a twenty five percent
Speaker 2: increase over the next two years, still needs the Council
Speaker 2: to vote in favor of that. Well, locals aren't happy,
Speaker 2: so they're going to stage a rally outside the dy
Speaker 2: officers of the Northern Beaches Council tonight from six o'clock.
Speaker 2: So if you're angry about it, this is what democracy
Speaker 2: is all about. Take to the streets of the opinion
Speaker 2: that working from home can be a good option if
Speaker 2: it works for the employer and it works for you
Speaker 2: as well. I think in the end the final decision
Speaker 2: rests with the boss. They're the one paying the wages
Speaker 2: after all. But I completely understand why you might want
Speaker 2: to work from home. Now. Last night I didn't get
Speaker 2: home from here the Raio station at Pimont. You know
Speaker 2: I live in the south. I didn't get home till
Speaker 2: after eight o'clock. And the reason was our trains, as
Speaker 2: you know, are not reliable. The T four was stuffed
Speaker 2: for hours and hours yesterday afternoon. So if I could
Speaker 2: save that two hours and work from home would be
Speaker 2: quite attractive. The trains that I was on from the
Speaker 2: city were absolutely jam packed and there would be people
Speaker 2: there coming back from an office or another place of
Speaker 2: employment thinking job was wishing I was working from home. Well,
Speaker 2: what about this idea? You trade off some of the
Speaker 2: benefits that you have with your employer for the right
Speaker 2: to work from home on a particular number of days
Speaker 2: per week. The Australians obtained documents that reveal employers groups
Speaker 2: proposing a clause in a submission to the new Clerk's
Speaker 2: award that's going to be determined by the Fair Work
Speaker 2: Commission and the Australian Services Union. They're blowing up about
Speaker 2: this because they say this is a move by industry
Speaker 2: to cut over time payments, to remove penalty rates, to
Speaker 2: reduce lunch breaks. And I'll talk to the Australian Industry
Speaker 2: Group about this later in the show. But think about this, Okay,
Speaker 2: if you're entitled to a forty five minute lunch break,
Speaker 2: wouldn't you be better off giving that up if you
Speaker 2: then saved, say two hours a day in travel time,
Speaker 2: Now that could be quite attractive. I actually don't think
Speaker 2: this is a bad idea. I think this is where
Speaker 2: you can actually consult with you boss and come up
Speaker 2: maybe with a better way of working. Let me know
Speaker 2: what you think. Is there something and this is only
Speaker 2: if you've got the capacity to work from home. Of
Speaker 2: course a lot of us don't. But if you have
Speaker 2: the sort of job it might be an office job,
Speaker 2: it might be computer based where there would be the
Speaker 2: option to not work in an office. Is there something
Speaker 2: you'd be willing to give up for that right to
Speaker 2: work from home? It might be a lunch break, It
Speaker 2: might be a week's an you'll leave. It could be
Speaker 2: the ability to have overtime on a Thursday night. Let
Speaker 2: me know what you think. One three, one eight seven three.
Speaker 2: If something is there's something you'd be willing to trade
Speaker 2: for the right to work from home?
Speaker 1: Be a part of Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard called
Speaker 1: one three one eight seven three.
Speaker 2: So a new Liberal Party executive effectively will run the
Speaker 2: party at a federal level for New South Wales in
Speaker 2: the coming months, and that will include the former premier
Speaker 2: Nick Griner. Gary says, you know what will happen on
Speaker 2: the text line the Liberals will miss the deadline to
Speaker 2: dispute the Bradfield result given their past performance with the elections.
Speaker 2: Well they're keeping Don Harwan away now, so maybe they've
Speaker 2: got a chance one three one eight seven three. On
Speaker 2: Sydney's continuing gang war, Adrian wants to have a say
Speaker 2: go to day. Adrian, Hey, are you going good?
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's just frustrating a just hearing that the magistrates
Speaker 9: are undoing this hard work from the police. I mean,
Speaker 9: at the end of the day, if a child gets
Speaker 9: hurt or if not worse killed, I think it should
Speaker 9: be on the magistrates conscious that if you know, something
Speaker 9: like that happens, it's it's not really good, is it.
Speaker 2: There's a forty seven year old woman in hospital right now, Adrian,
Speaker 2: who's been shot twice in the stomach and it's pretty
Speaker 2: clear she would not have been shot in that Auburn
Speaker 2: kebab shop yesterday if the bloke who was the intended target.
Speaker 2: The twenty six year old man was in jail at
Speaker 2: the moment as the police requested.
Speaker 10: Yeah right, it never would have happened.
Speaker 2: And the issue is going to be other people who
Speaker 2: were then caught up in this this violence as well.
Speaker 2: Thanks to you call, Adrian, I've got a text message
Speaker 2: saying that you stated that Chris means A requested if
Speaker 2: there's any of the government can do to assist from
Speaker 2: a legislation point of view to give more powers to
Speaker 2: the police, the police simply need to ask for it. Well,
Speaker 2: this is what Chris Mins has had to say has
Speaker 2: had to say about it today.
Speaker 11: We've shown a willingness in the past to listen to
Speaker 11: police and enforcement agencies in New South Wales where they
Speaker 11: say new laws are required.
Speaker 12: And obviously I'm concerned about that decision.
Speaker 11: I mean it may based on the last twenty four hours,
Speaker 11: I know a lot of people in the community to
Speaker 11: be very concerned about the decision made by the court.
Speaker 12: The question is.
Speaker 11: Whether it was an incorrect or an error that was
Speaker 11: made in retrospect or it should have been known at
Speaker 11: the time. I know the Attorney General was looking at
Speaker 11: the transcript as we speak.
Speaker 2: Chris Mins should sit down with Jason Box, the commander
Speaker 2: of Task Force Falcon, and say Jason, what do you need?
Speaker 2: What do you need? Do we need to tighten up
Speaker 2: these bar wars. If you want it, let's do it.
Speaker 2: Let's do it now. Coming up peter Ford, three Sons
Speaker 2: of the Beats are getting together and have recorded new music.
Speaker 2: You heard Steve mentioned in the traffic report the incident
Speaker 2: involving a current of pedestrian on the piets Ferry River
Speaker 2: Road just past Gorstam Road, Hornsby. We've just spoken with
Speaker 2: New South Wales Ambulance Software. They tell us a boy
Speaker 2: late teens has now been taken a raw north Shaw hospital.
Speaker 2: He is critical, he's suffering back injuries. The ambulance is
Speaker 2: still on the scene. Two of the three southbound lanes
Speaker 2: are closed right there. Don't forget Coming up in the
Speaker 2: program two GB's Winter Wheel. We have cash prices to
Speaker 2: give away worth between two hundred and fifty and two
Speaker 2: and a half thousand dollars plus one thousand dollars National
Speaker 2: Tiles voucher and a go to Denta Genie Prize pack
Speaker 2: which includes a sonic cleaner, a water flosser, a one
Speaker 2: hundred pack of tongue cleaners and a bonus two hundred
Speaker 2: and fifty dollars. That's twogv's winter wheel coming up. Don't
Speaker 2: call yet, you need the cue to call. Let's check
Speaker 2: out your headlines and good afternoon, Katie Fuller.
Speaker 13: Good afternoon, Clinton. The premier is questioning why the tended
Speaker 13: target of a kebab shop shooting was on bail. Police
Speaker 13: had warned the senior member of the Alamandine crime group
Speaker 13: would be targeted if he was released from custody. The
Speaker 13: state's Liberal party will remain in administration for nine months
Speaker 13: under a new committee. Two Victorians have been dumped from
Speaker 13: the committee, which will be led by former Premier Nick Griner.
Speaker 13: A unit has gone up in flames on the third
Speaker 13: floor of a complex south of Woollongong. Firefighters are getting
Speaker 13: water on the blaze. It's not yet clear whether any
Speaker 13: residents are inside, and electrical pulses could prove an effective
Speaker 13: way to treat type two diabetes. Australian scientists are using
Speaker 13: the pulses to regenerate the lining of the small intestine,
Speaker 13: believing it becomes inflamed in those with the disease. In
Speaker 13: Sport fast Bowling Legends, James Anderson has joined the list
Speaker 13: of final nominations for the upcoming Big Bash Draft. Fellow
Speaker 13: English quick jof for Archer has also put his name forward.
Speaker 13: The draft takes place tomorrow. Clinton More News.
Speaker 2: Thak Katie nineteen degrees in the CBD seventeen degrees in
Speaker 2: Campbelltown at the moment. Now, on this issue of working
Speaker 2: from home, is this something you'd be willing to give
Speaker 2: up in order to have the right to work from home?
Speaker 2: Pete's to send me a message if you'd like to
Speaker 2: send me a text message zero four s X zero
Speaker 2: eight seven three out seven to three. Pete says, yes,
Speaker 2: I get a half hour break in the morning and
Speaker 2: a half hour break later in the day. I'd be
Speaker 2: willing to give up those to save on travel time
Speaker 2: working from home. I travel about two and a half
Speaker 2: hours a day to work. Problem is I'm a firefighter.
Speaker 2: A little bit hard to work from home when you're
Speaker 2: a fiery one three one eight seven three. I'll come
Speaker 2: to peter Ford in just a moment. On the issue
Speaker 2: of magistrates allowing bail to people that the police mount
Speaker 2: a case that they should be kept in prison, such
Speaker 2: as the twenty six year old man who's now been
Speaker 2: targeted four times by would be assassin's and we've seen
Speaker 2: other people now caught up in the crossfire, including a
Speaker 2: forty seven year old woman who's in hospital right now
Speaker 2: with gunshot wounds to her stomach after the shooting at
Speaker 2: the kabab shop yesterday. It is on the central coast. Hello, Peter,
Speaker 2: great show mate.
Speaker 14: Stronger laws are not going to make any difference. It's
Speaker 14: more than magistrates and law and common sense. Two words
Speaker 14: man minus same thing, yep. Put back on the streets
Speaker 14: and look who who would put someone who's been got
Speaker 14: at four times? As you say, we don't care about him,
Speaker 14: but people in the crossfire.
Speaker 2: The issue would have been, and I haven't read the
Speaker 2: court transcripts of this, but he was facing weapons charges,
Speaker 2: and the weapons charges often people who appear in a court,
Speaker 2: a local court on a basic weapons offense are given bail.
Speaker 2: But the issue here was the police said he was
Speaker 2: at the quote the epicenter of the gang violence and
Speaker 2: that's why he should remain in custody. And the magistrate
Speaker 2: hasn't taken that. It appears to have not taken that
Speaker 2: into consideration. Think if you call Peter Hello, Rob get
Speaker 2: a rob.
Speaker 8: Hey, how game good?
Speaker 2: What's your view?
Speaker 15: My view is as just saying to produce her there
Speaker 15: that perhaps if people.
Speaker 16: Are involved in making decisions for bail, whether they're in
Speaker 16: the court process, whether the magistrates or court staff, whoever, whoever,
Speaker 16: is involved in making that decision to release an individual
Speaker 16: on bail, and they subsequently go on to get involved
Speaker 16: in this sort of activity, that their sinbin when they
Speaker 16: get it three times wrong, so they could make three mistakes,
Speaker 16: and then once they've made the third mistake of the
Speaker 16: court appointed powerful person, they're done for the sinbin for
Speaker 16: ten days or two weeks or a month or three
Speaker 16: months whatever.
Speaker 2: A sinbin for magistrates sounds like a good idea. This
Speaker 2: will be from a legal point of view, the magistrate
Speaker 2: would have been well within his or her rights to
Speaker 2: release this man on bail based on the weapons offense.
Speaker 2: And this is where the state government, this is where
Speaker 2: politicians need to intervene and toughen up the reasons for
Speaker 2: bail that a weapons offense. We need to make sure
Speaker 2: that knife offenses and offenses with firearms are treated more
Speaker 2: seriously and at the moment they're simply not matters to you.
Speaker 1: You'll hear it here Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard.
Speaker 2: Until we spoke so much on the program last week
Speaker 2: about the death of Brian Wilson, and I consider he
Speaker 2: made musical genius.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 2: The Beach Boys in some ways have continued over the years,
Speaker 2: even with the Wilson brothers now passed. One of the
Speaker 2: original Beach Boys is actually coming to Sydney. Peter Ford
Speaker 2: with the details. Good afternoon, Peter, Good day Clinton.
Speaker 17: And yes this was obviously planned and booked along before
Speaker 17: Brian's death last week. But it was odd that we
Speaker 17: were talking about Al Jardine last week and I said
Speaker 17: to you, then he still goes out with a band
Speaker 17: called the Pet Sounds Band, as opposed to Mike Love,
Speaker 17: who actually still goes out as the Beach Boys, even
Speaker 17: though he's the only original in the group. But Al
Speaker 17: is coming to Sydney. He'll be performing in Sydney at
Speaker 17: the Sydney Opera House on October thirty one. And this
Speaker 17: was announced today And as I said, there were some
Speaker 17: people who I saw some blowback online saying, oh that's tacky,
Speaker 17: but maybe they could have pushed the announcement back another week.
Speaker 18: I don't know.
Speaker 17: I'm not sure it really matters. I mean, it's that
Speaker 17: mentality and show business that the show must go on.
Speaker 17: And in the press release that came out, Al pays
Speaker 17: a huge tribute to Brian and they were genuinely close,
Speaker 17: as opposed to Mike Love, who I told you last
Speaker 17: week was a very fractured, complex friendship they had, but
Speaker 17: certainly Mike Love and Brian were close. So coming to
Speaker 17: Sydney October thirty one.
Speaker 2: When he comes to Sydney when he too was a
Speaker 2: country with the Pet Sounds band, would it be Philly
Speaker 2: big venues? He'll play orsa smallan in.
Speaker 17: The Opera House in Sydney, So yeah, they certainly are
Speaker 17: playing big venues. I mean obviously not arenas or Stadius,
Speaker 17: but probably the right sort of venues for the sound
Speaker 17: they want to create. And interestingly, a lot of Al's
Speaker 17: backup band is actually Brian Wilson's former touring band when
Speaker 17: he was going around as a solo act. So he's
Speaker 17: picked all of those guys up now, which is great.
Speaker 2: I saw a concert of the Opera House two weeks ago,
Speaker 2: three weeks ago. It was a sensational venue for it,
Speaker 2: so I can imagine that will be quite brilliant. Now
Speaker 2: still on music, three sons of Beatles have got together
Speaker 2: to make some new music.
Speaker 17: Yeah, well it's going to create publicity. You instantly know
Speaker 17: that because this is Zach Starkey, who's Ringo's son when
Speaker 17: he's not in the Who, and he seems to be
Speaker 17: in and out of that a lot. But he also
Speaker 17: was his own band called Mantra of the Cosmos, and
Speaker 17: that features all sorts of interesting musos. Now he's brought
Speaker 17: in for one track only. He's brought in John Lennon's
Speaker 17: son Sean, and he's brought in Paul McCartney's son James.
Speaker 17: So you've got three sons of the Beatles performing together
Speaker 17: with other musos and singers. Now it's only for one track.
Speaker 17: I've got to be honest and say up front of it.
Speaker 17: But the bit that's been put out there by Zach
Speaker 17: hasn't really grabbed me. But we're not really doing it
Speaker 17: justice by playing fifteen or twenty seconds. But this is
Speaker 17: what Zach has chosen to do. The track is called Ripoff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, he's probably got a bit of a problem
Speaker 2: that it's and look we've only hear a little sample there, Pete.
Speaker 2: But the problem probably is not that good.
Speaker 17: No, well that's cutting the chase, Thanks Clinton. Yeah, look,
Speaker 17: I think that's true. I was trying to be a
Speaker 17: bit more diplomatic. But against that, Yeah, well those guys
Speaker 17: that you got a lot to live up to, you know,
Speaker 17: And yeah, it gets the publicity. Three sons of the
Speaker 17: Beatles putting out music, but also everybody's expectations instantly go.
Speaker 8: Through the roof.
Speaker 2: I felt a little bit sorry over the years for say,
Speaker 2: Julian Lennon, the song Saltwater that he put out many
Speaker 2: years ago was I thought that was a really good song,
Speaker 2: but it's Yeah, when you're the son of an absolute
Speaker 2: legend in John Lennon, it's hard to live up to that.
Speaker 17: It's very hard for anyone in the performing arts who
Speaker 17: is the son or daughter of someone. Yes, it can
Speaker 17: get you the audition, Yes it gets you through the door.
Speaker 17: Yes it gets you some are time. But boy, people
Speaker 17: then expect you to really over deliver that they otherwise
Speaker 17: would good on.
Speaker 2: Your people talk tomorrow basically, Peter Ford, our entertainment reporter.
Speaker 2: It's twenty to four. It's ten past nine in Tehran,
Speaker 2: the capital of Iran, and I've just seen more vision
Speaker 2: that's coming through of the highways and the roads absolutely
Speaker 2: chokers trying to leave the capital after the US President
Speaker 2: basically said it should be evacuated, and many of the
Speaker 2: Iranians following his advice, trying to leave that The question
Speaker 2: for those people is where do they go? There may
Speaker 2: well be yet a greater refugee crisis right throughout the
Speaker 2: Middle East because of what's occurring now between the Iranians
Speaker 2: and the Israelis. There's still no sign of a breakthrough.
Speaker 2: There's some suggestions and there been suggestions throughout the day
Speaker 2: that the Uranians would like to embark on peace talks.
Speaker 2: They would like a ceasefire, and they've sought some of
Speaker 2: their allies in the Middle East to then speak with
Speaker 2: the United States to see that could be facilitated. There's
Speaker 2: no breakthrough there. There's no word on that, but it
Speaker 2: does seem based on the vision that I've seen of
Speaker 2: these choking highways, this high waste is full of traffic.
Speaker 2: People are trying to leave the Iranian capital. It's Clinton,
Speaker 2: Maine with you for a Tuesday afternoon. New South Wales
Speaker 2: Health has issued a warning for us not to forage
Speaker 2: or eat wild mushrooms after the discovery of death cap
Speaker 2: mushrooms and they've been found here in Sydney. The deadly
Speaker 2: fungi has been discovered not just in Sydney but also
Speaker 2: parts of the Southern Highlands southern New South Wales as well.
Speaker 2: One dose of this particular mushroom can be lethal and
Speaker 2: the symptoms if you have accidentally eaten such a mushroom
Speaker 2: they're not immediate now. Symptoms include vomiting, diarrhear in severe
Speaker 2: cases can lead to very serious liver complications, kiddy damage
Speaker 2: or death. There's been a rising poisonings over the past year.
Speaker 2: Last year, twenty three people were treated in hospital due
Speaker 2: to toxic mushroom ingestation, including kids, including some little kids.
Speaker 2: The New South Wales Poisons Informations here to receive three
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty three calls about wild mushroom exposure across
Speaker 2: New South Wales. It was a jump of twenty six percent.
Speaker 2: So the message is don't eat wild mushrooms, just eat
Speaker 2: mushrooms you can buy from your fruit and veg stare.
Speaker 2: Thirteen to four thirty seven percent of Australians now work
Speaker 2: from home, and you might be listening to this program
Speaker 2: while working from a home office and I think for
Speaker 2: many of us it makes some sense. But I think
Speaker 2: it needs to work for both parties. I think it
Speaker 2: needs to work for the employer, after all, they're the
Speaker 2: ones paying the wages and the employee as well. There's
Speaker 2: the suggestion that's been made, and this has become an
Speaker 2: issue because unions are not happy about it, that under
Speaker 2: a determination to be made by the Fair Work Commission,
Speaker 2: who were going to consider the clerk's award, that there
Speaker 2: could be a trade off between employers and their workers.
Speaker 2: For instance, a forty five minute lunch break could be
Speaker 2: foregone in order to facilitate working from home. Unions say
Speaker 2: that businesses may well use this whole concept to not
Speaker 2: pay overtime rates, perhaps to reduce the amount of annual
Speaker 2: leaves what he's entitled to. Nis Willocks is the chief
Speaker 2: executive of the Australian Industry Group and joins ustake a
Speaker 2: for your time.
Speaker 5: Hi Clinton, how are you.
Speaker 2: I'm good. This actually seems to make some sense to
Speaker 2: me to come to an arrangement with an employer whereby
Speaker 2: you might give up a certain number of breaks per
Speaker 2: day in order to work from home. But the unions
Speaker 2: aren't happy about it.
Speaker 19: I'm glad it makes sense to you, because it makes
Speaker 19: sense to a lot of people as well, because the
Speaker 19: world has moved on from when this award, the Clerk's Award,
Speaker 19: which covers over a million workers in Australia, was last
Speaker 19: written up. It was written up at a time when
Speaker 19: we all worked in an office and all worked sort
Speaker 19: of nine to five or a variation of that, and
Speaker 19: going back sometime. Tony Burke, when he was the Minister
Speaker 19: for Workplace Relations, initiated a review into the awards to
Speaker 19: make sure that they were up to date and represented
Speaker 19: modern work practices. And the Fair Work Commission has picked
Speaker 19: this up and it is looking through the Clerk's Award
Speaker 19: to make sure in the context of work from home
Speaker 19: that it still makes sense and manifestly clinton for employers
Speaker 19: and for a lot of employees it doesn't. People don't
Speaker 19: work nine to five, don't have a set half hour
Speaker 19: or forty five minutes for lunch when they are working
Speaker 19: from home. They're working from home largely because they want
Speaker 19: some flexibility and their working day. Pick up the kids
Speaker 19: right about now, for instance, from school, drop them off
Speaker 19: in the morning, do some tasks at home, and they
Speaker 19: work around that. They might start a bit earlier, finish
Speaker 19: a bit later, work sort of not in a sequential
Speaker 19: sort of pattern. So what we are saying to the
Speaker 19: commission is, could you consider when you're looking at working
Speaker 19: from home taking all of this into account that employers
Speaker 19: who are interested in outputs and employees are increasingly interested
Speaker 19: in some flexibility around their working arrangements when they do
Speaker 19: work from home, and let's come up with some sensible compromises.
Speaker 2: Your opponents, though, the Australian Services Union, and they represent
Speaker 2: many of those million people that you refer to the
Speaker 2: Clerk's Award, they're saying that your members are going to
Speaker 2: use this as a cash grab, for instance, to avoid
Speaker 2: paying over time. How do you respond to.
Speaker 19: That, Well, not at all, because this is all about
Speaker 19: reaching an agreement. It could only be implemented whatever the
Speaker 19: final situation is, and that would vary from employee to
Speaker 19: employee and employer to employer. That could only be reached
Speaker 19: by an agreement between the employer and their employee around
Speaker 19: what those working conditions or arrangements would be. When someone
Speaker 19: is working from home and people want to do this
Speaker 19: in different ways. Some people prefer to work at night,
Speaker 19: others in the morning.
Speaker 8: That's fine.
Speaker 19: As I said, employers are interested in the outcome here,
Speaker 19: the output. If someone is asked and tasked to do
Speaker 19: something way above and beyond, of course that should be
Speaker 19: dealt with as it is now as an additional piece
Speaker 19: of work, and they should be recompensed appropriately for that.
Speaker 19: But at the moment, what you have to do under
Speaker 19: the award, if you're following it properly, is to have
Speaker 19: the employee fill in time sheets and virtually punch a
Speaker 19: Bundy clock when they start and finish work. And that
Speaker 19: just doesn't fit in a working from home environment. So
Speaker 19: we're saying update it for twenty twenty five. It's not
Speaker 19: nineteen seventy five anymore. And if someone has to work
Speaker 19: it additional and do extra, of course they should be recompense.
Speaker 2: For it if he makes some employee sense. The flexibility
Speaker 2: is needed in this situation. And it's just while I
Speaker 2: have you there, there was an issue that popped up
Speaker 2: from the UK about a particular worker who's now been
Speaker 2: banned from working from home because his employer found that
Speaker 2: he was faking the amount of time he was actually
Speaker 2: at his desk. He somehow managed to activate the Z
Speaker 2: key on his keyboard permanently, so it made it look
Speaker 2: like he was using the keyboard. So is the way
Speaker 2: employers now manage working from home? Do they have that
Speaker 2: ability to monitor you electronically with how you're using the technology,
Speaker 2: how you're using a computer.
Speaker 19: Well, employers always have because they can see when you're
Speaker 19: on a computer or not. But of course people try
Speaker 19: to manipulate that all the time. Now employers have concerns
Speaker 19: about people doing two jobs when they're working from home
Speaker 19: and so not devoting their entire time or resources to
Speaker 19: the job that they're being paid for. Soya, Look, this
Speaker 19: is part of the issue that we're getting at here.
Speaker 19: People are working differently Clinton to the way they did before.
Speaker 19: Not everyone is able to work from home, but there
Speaker 19: has to be some give and take here and some
Speaker 19: common sense and some compromise, or else we're just going
Speaker 19: to get stuck with an old system, and in the
Speaker 19: end it will drive employers to compelling workers to come
Speaker 19: back to work where they're visible, can be seen, and
Speaker 19: can be held to be accountable.
Speaker 2: I think some balance makes some sense. Good anyoneness Back
Speaker 2: to Clinton, You take care it is willoxsro's chief executive
Speaker 2: of the AI Group. Well over to you. You tell
Speaker 2: me what works for you. Would you be willing to
Speaker 2: give up maybe a week's annual leave, have three weeks
Speaker 2: leave instead of four for the actual right, So it
Speaker 2: wouldn't be you'd have it locked in stone that you
Speaker 2: work from home three days out of four, but you
Speaker 2: give out of or out of five, but you give
Speaker 2: up some leaf let me know one, three, one, eight,
Speaker 2: seven three day. The bus says on the text line,
Speaker 2: I tried working from home. It did not work well.
Speaker 2: Dave is a bus driver.
Speaker 1: There is Sydney now with Clinton on t.
Speaker 2: G but seven past four this news just breaking. South
Speaker 2: Sydney will not be allowed to move back to Moore
Speaker 2: Park and play at ali Unstadium. The Daily Telegraph with
Speaker 2: this news this afternoon through Phil Rothfield. They've confirmed now
Speaker 2: with the rabbit Os that the Sports Minister Steve Camper
Speaker 2: has formally rejected the plea from South Sydney to move
Speaker 2: from a course stadium so Sydney Olympic Park back to
Speaker 2: Moor Park, which, let's be honest, that's the home of
Speaker 2: the rabbit Os. Where are South Sydney from. They're from Redfern.
Speaker 2: They play in home bull Sydney Olympic Park. Simply for money,
Speaker 2: and it was a deal made many many years ago
Speaker 2: which made a lot of financial sense many years ago.
Speaker 2: But they've requested to move back to the eastern suburbs
Speaker 2: or to the southern suburbs effectively, and reason for that
Speaker 2: ali un Stadium is much better obviously than a corp.
Speaker 2: But also under the deal that they had with the
Speaker 2: New South Wales government and Venues New South Wales, their
Speaker 2: deal was that a core stadium would be renovated and
Speaker 2: potentially a roof would be put on a course stadium.
Speaker 2: Well during COVID, as you know, everything changed and gladyspiro
Speaker 2: Agiclly was the premiere and she canceled that plan to
Speaker 2: upgrade a course stadium. And I know many of you
Speaker 2: agree with that, saying we spend too much money on
Speaker 2: stadiums in Sydney, but we also have a sparkling new
Speaker 2: stadium in Moore Park Alliance, the Sydney Football Stadium that
Speaker 2: we the tax payers spent seven hundred and fifty million
Speaker 2: dollars and let's be honest, it is brilliant, but it's
Speaker 2: under utilized. So South Sydney wanted to change that. The
Speaker 2: Roosters were not so happy about that. Because of course
Speaker 2: the Roosters play there as they also have the right
Speaker 2: to play there. It's their home ground. Sydney FC plays there,
Speaker 2: the Waratahs play there, but the Roosters didn't want the
Speaker 2: Rabbitos to play there because they hate them. I can
Speaker 2: understand that. However, formerly the Rabbito's reached out to the
Speaker 2: New South Wales government. Well Blake Soley's now told the
Speaker 2: Telegraph Minister Camper has written to us rejecting our request.
Speaker 2: We'll review the letter and his reasons, then consider a
Speaker 2: response in our further options. We ran committed to discussing
Speaker 2: the issue with the government and venues in New South Wales.
Speaker 2: This is by no means the end of the process.
Speaker 2: Well it shouldn't be the end of the process because
Speaker 2: in the end the government owns both stadiums. Now they
Speaker 2: want the Rabbitos to keep playing at a Corp because
Speaker 2: they don't want the old Olympic Stadium to be a
Speaker 2: white elephant. Look, it won't be. The Bulldogs will play there.
Speaker 2: The Bulldogs getting wonderful crowds there now because they're really
Speaker 2: successful at the moment. Say great Bulldogs can have it
Speaker 2: State of Origin Grand Finals, play them at a Corp.
Speaker 2: But if you take a stock standard NRL game to
Speaker 2: sit Olympic Park and you get, say, twenty thousand people,
Speaker 2: the atmosphere aren't great. Even with twenty thousand, you get
Speaker 2: twenty thousand at More Park, the atmosphere is spectacular. And
Speaker 2: we the taxpayers, we paid for that stadium. And I'm
Speaker 2: saying this as somebody. I'm not a Rooster supporter, I'm
Speaker 2: not a rabbit O supporter, but it's ridiculous that we
Speaker 2: paid that much money to build a stadium and we're
Speaker 2: not allowing one of the most popular teams in the
Speaker 2: NRAL to play there. Steve camp has good luck, mister
Speaker 2: camper reconsider.
Speaker 1: Be a part of Sydney Now with Clinton. Maynard called
Speaker 1: one three one eight seven three.
Speaker 2: Getting feedback on that already, and I'll come to those
Speaker 2: calls and those messages shortly. If you'd like to see
Speaker 2: me a text message zero force zero eight seven three
Speaker 2: eight seven three ten past four. Just the latest in
Speaker 2: the Middle East. The Israeli Defense Force has now confirmed
Speaker 2: they're detecting a large number of incoming missiles from Iran.
Speaker 2: They've released a statement via their Twitter and this is
Speaker 2: how information is now circulating around the world. A short
Speaker 2: while ago, the IDF identified missiles launched from Iran towards
Speaker 2: the territory of the state of Israel. Defensive systems are
Speaker 2: operating to intercept the threat. Upon receiving alert, the public
Speaker 2: is instructed to enter a protected space and remain there.
Speaker 2: So that is a bomb shelter that's in the central
Speaker 2: part of districts in Israel at the moment. Now, I
Speaker 2: mentioned a little earlier that there was some hope that
Speaker 2: there could be a ceasefire, that Iran had reached out
Speaker 2: via They're allies for the United States to brok a ceasefire,
Speaker 2: and that had actually come from the French President Emmanuel Macron. Well,
Speaker 2: Donald Trump has completely rejected that. Donald Trump has now
Speaker 2: said just minutes before taking off from Calgary, where of
Speaker 2: course he has now left the G seven summit before
Speaker 2: boarding Air Force one, He's posted on his own social
Speaker 2: media network, publicity seeking President Emmanuel Macron of France mistakenly
Speaker 2: said I left the G seven summit in Canada to
Speaker 2: go back to DC and to work on a ceasefire
Speaker 2: between Israel and Iran. Mister Trump says wrong. He has
Speaker 2: no idea why I'm now on my way back to Washington.
Speaker 2: But it certainly has nothing to do with a ceasefire.
Speaker 2: Much bigger than that, right, whether purposely or not, Emmanuel
Speaker 2: always gets it wrong. Stay tuned. Okay, So that Donald
Speaker 2: says no ceasefire, that's not happening, but he's working on
Speaker 2: something much bigger. Now. What he won't be doing is
Speaker 2: meeting with our prime minister. He will not be holding
Speaker 2: a meeting with Anthony Alban easy on the sidelines of
Speaker 2: the G seven because he is leaving. He's going back
Speaker 2: to Washington, and that's not great for Albow because he
Speaker 2: wanted to raise the future of Orcus. But as you've
Speaker 2: followed throughout the day, there is some hope because keirths
Speaker 2: Starmer and the UK is the third party involved with Orcus,
Speaker 2: has now set alongside mister Trump that they're proceeding with
Speaker 2: the deal.
Speaker 8: Yep, we're proceeding with that.
Speaker 2: It's a really important deal to both of this.
Speaker 15: I think the person that was doing a review, we
Speaker 15: did the review when we came into governments, and that
Speaker 15: makes good sense to me.
Speaker 16: But it's a really important we're very long time partners
Speaker 16: and allies and friends, and we've become friends in a
Speaker 16: short period of time.
Speaker 2: Albow commented on that before that he knew that the
Speaker 2: US president was leaving.
Speaker 20: I have seen the comments that were made, and of
Speaker 20: course it is in Australia, the United States and the
Speaker 20: United Kingdom's interests that orcas not just proceed in terms
Speaker 20: of Pillar one, but Pillar two as well. There are
Speaker 20: great advantages that we have the sum of one past
Speaker 20: one past one, sometimes more than three, and it certainly
Speaker 20: does that in this case.
Speaker 2: Just remember the deal for UCUST the United States means
Speaker 2: billions of dollars for their defense industries with the submarine order.
Speaker 2: So I think in some form UCUST will still go ahead.
Speaker 2: We'll have a close look at Sydney's gang violence in
Speaker 2: just a moment. I'm getting a lot of feedback already
Speaker 2: by the decision from the new South Wales state government
Speaker 2: to deny the South Sidney Rabbit Oz the right to
Speaker 2: move to Alliott Stadium. I think it is ridiculous.
Speaker 21: Reg what do you think, Well, look, meings needs to
Speaker 21: get involved like campus are buffoon, But let's just park
Speaker 21: that to one side. You've got South which is probably
Speaker 21: one of the largest club in the country wanting to
Speaker 21: play at what is geographically their home ground before the
Speaker 21: Roosters go or crazy. From nineteen o eight to nineteen
Speaker 21: forty South played at the Showground and then obviously at
Speaker 21: Redford and then from eighty eight nine Woods they played
Speaker 21: at the SFA. So it's absolutely ridiculous that we've got
Speaker 21: taxpayer funded stadium that not being used by one of
Speaker 21: the biggest compent in and reach.
Speaker 2: The thing is they're both taxpayer funded stadiums, so it's
Speaker 2: not like the new South Wales government is going to
Speaker 2: be out of dollars. Yes, it might not look as
Speaker 2: good to have a course s dirty in the Olympic
Speaker 2: Stadium with fewer big events, but if you've got a
Speaker 2: SOUS game, say they're playing my mob Cronulla, right, you're
Speaker 2: probably attrack fifteen thousand to that. It's not a good
Speaker 2: look to have fifteen thousand playing at Sydne Olympic Park.
Speaker 2: But they play at moor Park, they'll get twenty five
Speaker 2: thousand there. Ron says on the text line, you're one
Speaker 2: hundred percent correct. South Sydney should play all their home
Speaker 2: matches at more parks. Alliance. James says, Oh, the problem
Speaker 2: with Alliance is the drainage one hundred percent and it
Speaker 2: was shown up in several matches this year, including Women's
Speaker 2: State of Origin. They need to do something about the drainage,
Speaker 2: but it's still the best stadium in Sydney. It's worth
Speaker 2: seven hundred and fifty eight hundred million dollars. That's our
Speaker 2: money that we've spent on that ground and it should
Speaker 2: be used properly. Quarter past four CCT vision has now
Speaker 2: been released of the horrors in Auburn yesterday. Security vision
Speaker 2: of what happened in that kebab shop is just truly chilling.
Speaker 2: When you see this on TV tonight, they'll show it
Speaker 2: on nine News. You will see this is in South
Speaker 2: Paray just after one o'clock. You'll see two men. They're
Speaker 2: fully dressed in black. Each man has a black balakaba
Speaker 2: pulled over his head. They're running into the shop and
Speaker 2: the CCT vision is slowed down so you'll be able
Speaker 2: to clearly see this. You can't determine who the men are,
Speaker 2: mind you, because they're completely covered. But there are these
Speaker 2: two guys here. It's like watching something out of a movie.
Speaker 2: They both have their pistols drawn and as they're running
Speaker 2: past the counter, there's a bloke behind the counter and
Speaker 2: he's there shaving the kebab meat and he turns around
Speaker 2: because he can hear the ruckus and you could just
Speaker 2: imagine the thought going through that man's head when he
Speaker 2: sees these two men dressed in black who were pointing pistols.
Speaker 2: So he dives down to get out of the way.
Speaker 2: The men continue on to the back of the shop,
Speaker 2: the kebab shop in South Parade, and you then see
Speaker 2: there's like a stool or in a chair that's thrown
Speaker 2: at them. Then a table goes flying, and then the
Speaker 2: vision cuts out and that's where it appears that these
Speaker 2: government have opened fire. Now they shot eight times, eight times,
Speaker 2: and as we've been reporting over the past twenty four hours,
Speaker 2: they shot two men and a woman. Forty seven year
Speaker 2: old woman was one of the workers in the kebab shop. Now,
Speaker 2: she has nothing to do The police believes she has
Speaker 2: nothing to do with Sydney's underworld whatsoever. But she's in
Speaker 2: hospital right at the moment with two bullet wounds to
Speaker 2: her stomach. Hopefully she's going to be okay. But she's
Speaker 2: one of these poor victims who's been caught in the crossfire.
Speaker 2: And she's not alone as someone who's been caught in
Speaker 2: the crossfire of this gang violence. Just a couple of
Speaker 2: weeks ago, there was that young bloke plumber. He's arrived
Speaker 2: home in Condal Park late at night, works for his
Speaker 2: dad as a plumber. He reverses his yued up the driveway,
Speaker 2: gets out of the ute, and then two gunments just
Speaker 2: to appear out of the dark and shoot him. And there
Speaker 2: were people and you could hear it apparently on some
Speaker 2: of the c he say no, no, no, Well, the
Speaker 2: police are confirmed that victim was not known to them,
Speaker 2: not involved in the criminal world whatsoever. They believe the
Speaker 2: assassins got the wrong person. So this is what's unfolding
Speaker 2: on our streets the moment. We are seeing innocent people
Speaker 2: caught up in this horror. Now we've spoken about this
Speaker 2: in the first hour. I spoke to Jason Box, who's
Speaker 2: heading up the Task Force task FORRSE Falcon that's investigating
Speaker 2: all this. And a big problem is the fact that
Speaker 2: one of the men who was shot yesterday, who's in
Speaker 2: hospital at the moment with wounds to his shoulder and
Speaker 2: his arm, this is the fourth attempt on his life
Speaker 2: and he was before the courts after the second attempt
Speaker 2: on his life charged with the weapons offense because when
Speaker 2: police investigated that they allegedly found a gun in his possession,
Speaker 2: and of course the magistrate allowed him bail despite the
Speaker 2: fact the police said he was the EPI center of
Speaker 2: this gang violence. I want to get a bit of
Speaker 2: a better understanding of how this is all working, particularly
Speaker 2: this suggestion which Jason Box says he doesn't believe this
Speaker 2: is the case, but the suggestion of a near tasker
Speaker 2: style website being used to recruit people. What Jason Box
Speaker 2: did tell me is the young people are being recruited
Speaker 2: to carry out the dirty work. Glenn Gorick is a
Speaker 2: retired police sergeant. He's been at the cold face of
Speaker 2: this gang war in the past and joins me, thank
Speaker 2: you for your time.
Speaker 22: Glenn, Yeah, good afternoon, Clinn, thanks for having me on.
Speaker 2: I want to gather your insight in this because unfortunately,
Speaker 2: what we're seeing on Sydney streets at the moment isn't new.
Speaker 2: We have seen a war, for instance, between the Alamedeans,
Speaker 2: and it's alleged that this twenty six year old man
Speaker 2: was connected to the Alamedeens and previously the Hamsies. This
Speaker 2: is all unfolded on the streets for years. Is this
Speaker 2: still all over a turf war over drugs?
Speaker 22: You would think so, Quentin to look, the family feuds
Speaker 22: across the southwest of Sydney had been going on. There
Speaker 22: was many families. I won't name them, but there were
Speaker 22: four prominent cheams it used to fight each other. There
Speaker 22: was decades of these shootings, but the demographics changing a
Speaker 22: little now. You know, it's very brazen in the middle
Speaker 22: of the day. You recall the one at Surrey Hill's
Speaker 22: last year. They shot at seven pm at night on
Speaker 22: a Friday and bullets went everywhere into shops and so on.
Speaker 22: It's all changing rapidly made And look the other thing
Speaker 22: that I noticed when I drill down on this one.
Speaker 22: Obviously we have the problem with the bail, but the
Speaker 22: cars that they used they normally torch within minutes of
Speaker 22: the shooting. This one, the alleged audi wasn't for hours later.
Speaker 22: So they must be going underground now. They must be
Speaker 22: trying a different tactic, and they're going underground, parking the
Speaker 22: car somewhere and then when everything quiets down, go and
Speaker 22: burn it.
Speaker 8: Well.
Speaker 2: Interestingly, Glenn Jason Box I spoke to him in the
Speaker 2: first hour of the PROGM. He's heading up the task
Speaker 2: forles task Wills Falcon and he revealed this afternoon that
Speaker 2: the twenty six year old man who was shot yesterday
Speaker 2: we thought this was the third attempt on his life. Well,
Speaker 2: in fact it's the fourth. There was another at rose
Speaker 2: Hill last Friday afternoon and when police were called, these
Speaker 2: peace people who were the alleged victims were in a
Speaker 2: white ut That white used on Friday afternoon. We believe
Speaker 2: is one of the vehicles that's been found a light
Speaker 2: now in the past twelve hours, twenty four hours.
Speaker 22: Yeah, this is the thing. So that you it's been
Speaker 22: parked somewhere, it's been probably used. It's really time for
Speaker 22: New South Walest please to ramp.
Speaker 8: Up public assistance.
Speaker 22: Those cars are parked somewhere, they're parking garages, they're parked
Speaker 22: in properties. They stand out because they're not owned by
Speaker 22: the normal people that live in these buildings. So look,
Speaker 22: i'd call out if any member of the public sees
Speaker 22: something unusual in their Southwestern unit like or their factories,
Speaker 22: ring it in anonymously, just ring it in and.
Speaker 6: Let the cops come and check it.
Speaker 8: What about that might stop this stuff?
Speaker 2: What about the way these gangs are now operating how
Speaker 2: they're recruiting people to carry out what i'd term their
Speaker 2: dirty work. I asked Command to box this as well
Speaker 2: about the suggestion there's an air Task style, not air
Speaker 2: Task for itself, but a style website, and he says, look,
Speaker 2: there's no doubt while it might but not be air
Speaker 2: Task as such, the gangs are recruiting young people in
Speaker 2: particular to carry out these crimes.
Speaker 8: Yeah, so what that is?
Speaker 22: The AFP cracked one of these covert apps. It's like
Speaker 22: a WhatsApp then the air task if you want to
Speaker 22: use for the term.
Speaker 8: But it's a.
Speaker 22: Very covert encrypted system that only allows a significant number
Speaker 22: of members of these groups to get access to it,
Speaker 22: and then they all talk and discuss what they're going
Speaker 22: to do, and then they put up advertisements for these
Speaker 22: types of jobs.
Speaker 8: This is all alleged now.
Speaker 22: The AFP cracked this in twenty twenty three, so they've
Speaker 22: obviously gone to another version of it now and I'm
Speaker 22: sure the AFPN New South Wales Police Cybercrime will be
Speaker 22: all over it because it leaves a trial. But the
Speaker 22: thin with it is the big thing with it is
Speaker 22: clinton that they leave a file with it and now
Speaker 22: they're paying these for these jobs in cryptocurrency as well.
Speaker 22: I know that for a fact. So there's this whole
Speaker 22: changing demographic all the time, constantly these criminal games. If
Speaker 22: they actually use these skills in the decent enterprise and business,
Speaker 22: they'd be millionaires, and they put it all into crime.
Speaker 22: And it just amazes me that they they do.
Speaker 2: This, Glenn. I don't to be too flippid about it,
Speaker 2: but I've got a couple of messages which do echo
Speaker 2: my thoughts. Here on the text line, Michael says, Look,
Speaker 2: I must be hopeless, but these d heads, they mustn't
Speaker 2: be very good at their jobs if you have four
Speaker 2: attempts on their life and they still don't get it done.
Speaker 2: I've got about three messages echoing the same thing. The
Speaker 2: people they're recruiting, let's be blunt, not very good assassins
Speaker 2: because they keep missing.
Speaker 11: Right.
Speaker 22: Well, you brought up the CCTV footage just just been released.
Speaker 22: I've watched it while I've been mating to come on
Speaker 22: with you, and it's exactly a perfect example of how
Speaker 22: poorly trained, poorly executed these jobs are. You watch the
Speaker 22: alleged shooter come in and he's looking at the ground.
Speaker 22: When he's shooting the pistol, he's looking at the ground
Speaker 22: with his head down, so he doesn't even see where
Speaker 22: he's shooting, so hence the bullets spray everywhere. Right, this
Speaker 22: is why they shoot people in the legs and they
Speaker 22: miss and they miss their targets. And four attempts on
Speaker 22: alleged attempts on Sammazari. Well, you know, they're not doing
Speaker 22: a very good job done.
Speaker 2: And in the end, the problem is those bullets go
Speaker 2: astray and they hit innocent people. Glenn, I appreciate your insight.
Speaker 2: Thank you great.
Speaker 8: Thanks Clinton, have a great day. Go to the.
Speaker 2: Sharkis retired police sergeant Glenn Gorrick. It is chilling. Have
Speaker 2: a look at this CCT vision. You'll see it online.
Speaker 2: It'll be on nine years tonight. It's chilling stuff. The
Speaker 2: issue here is firstly, the bloke who was the alleged
Speaker 2: target should have been in jail because it's a failure
Speaker 2: of our justice system. But secondly, innocent people like the
Speaker 2: forty seven year old lady who's then been shot, they
Speaker 2: end up being the real victims. Twenty three past four,
Speaker 2: I'll talk to MG in the second part of the
Speaker 2: show about the future of Valley Unstadium in a course
Speaker 2: statum whether the Rabbit O's should be allowed to play there,
Speaker 2: Joe says in the text line let the rabbit os go.
Speaker 2: The Roosters do not own it, certainly donate it. Of
Speaker 2: this one though, Adam says, actually, I'm happy for my
Speaker 2: bunnies to keep playing sydn Olympic Park at Court because
Speaker 2: I live in the mountains and the stadium is much close,
Speaker 2: and the Rabbit O's do have a big supporter base
Speaker 2: in the Western suburbs. This question from Peter, why can't
Speaker 2: NFL games we play at the SCG. Well they can be,
Speaker 2: and they they were when Alliance was under construction. But
Speaker 2: why play at Alliance when next door you have a
Speaker 2: brilliant football stadium. Now some people do argue this. Ron
Speaker 2: says Homebush should be rebuilt as a large rectangular venue
Speaker 2: similar to both sun Corp and London's Twicken them. It'd
Speaker 2: then be the ideal ground for rugby league, ruby union soccer.
Speaker 2: Well that was part of the renovation plan, but effectively
Speaker 2: because of COVID, the state government ran out of money
Speaker 2: and they had to make a choice. Do they rebuild
Speaker 2: the SFS Alliance or do they make changes to stadium
Speaker 2: Australia and they decided that the changes to our state
Speaker 2: of Australia are going to be too expensive. We've been
Speaker 2: talking a little bit about work from a home and
Speaker 2: this proposal that's been launched by the Australian Industry Group
Speaker 2: whereby you could trade some of your benefits in order
Speaker 2: for the right to work from home, for instance, a
Speaker 2: lunch hour on the text line. Working from home for
Speaker 2: going breaks makes no sense because I work just as
Speaker 2: hard when I work from home as I do in
Speaker 2: the office. In fact, I have less distractions and I
Speaker 2: get more work done. Tab Corp has today been fined
Speaker 2: four million dollars for spamming customers with thousands of marketing messages.
Speaker 2: Australia's largest bedding company, TAB Corp, has copped the fine
Speaker 2: from the Australian Communications and Media Authority. They found the
Speaker 2: tab Corps sent more than five seven hundred unlawful marketing
Speaker 2: messages to customers in its VIP program. Three thousand SMS
Speaker 2: and what's up messages were sent between the first of
Speaker 2: February and the first of May of last year. And
Speaker 2: what they didn't do and you'll often see this if
Speaker 2: you'll send messages from any business, you'll see an unsubscribed
Speaker 2: line at the bottom of the message. These particular messages
Speaker 2: from tab Corp did not have that unsubscribed line. Just
Speaker 2: before our news headlines, just want to cross to Christine,
Speaker 2: who's got some dramas to report in Picton on the roads.
Speaker 2: What can you see, Christine?
Speaker 23: Driver cost a accident ten minutes ago. It's on Bridge
Speaker 23: Street in between Picton or Red Banks and tell me
Speaker 23: it's a main storoughly where all the cars turn off
Speaker 23: from coming from Pickton from Sydney to come up to
Speaker 23: sell Me Or and the Oaks, and a lady has
Speaker 23: unfortunately rolled her car she was driving up towards Selmy.
Speaker 23: I actually nearly ran into her on that bend, but
Speaker 23: luckily for work trucks stopped and helped her get out.
Speaker 23: She was standing and the police and the ambulance and
Speaker 23: everything are already. There's a traffic flow yep, that will
Speaker 23: be stop because of the accident because it's right on
Speaker 23: the bend. Only one way traffic can go there at
Speaker 23: the moment.
Speaker 2: I know some of those roads can be quite dangerous
Speaker 2: in that region. I've driven down there and waited some
Speaker 2: of my parents down South. So she's okay, though she
Speaker 2: looks like she's all right.
Speaker 23: Look she was the driver. She looked like but very
Speaker 23: very very shaken. I'd say, a lady in her maybe
Speaker 23: late thirties, early tours in a nice blue car.
Speaker 2: Okay. Good at the ambulance services on the scene that
Speaker 2: they can check her out. Thanks for letting us know
Speaker 2: about that. If you see something in the roads that
Speaker 2: we need to know about, that's the word on the street.
Speaker 2: Temper a great night's sleep, night after night. The difference
Speaker 2: is temper. Let's check our news headlines and latest Cape Fuller.
Speaker 13: Good afternoon, Clinton. Indonesia's police chief has confirmed two men
Speaker 13: who have been arrested over shooting at a luxury villa
Speaker 13: in Bali. One Melbourne man was killed and another seriously
Speaker 13: injured in the attack. The US President has left the
Speaker 13: G seven summit in Canada a day earlier than expected
Speaker 13: as he attempts to broker a ceasefire deal between Israel
Speaker 13: and Iran. The Prime Minister had been hoping to hold
Speaker 13: talks with Donald Trump on the sidelines of the summit.
Speaker 13: New South Wales Health has issued a warning about poisonous
Speaker 13: death cap mushrooms growing in Sydney and the Southern Highlands.
Speaker 13: People are urged not to forage or eat wild mushrooms,
Speaker 13: and evidence of human occupation dating back to the Ice
Speaker 13: Age has been found at the site of a cave
Speaker 13: near Lithgow. Archaeologists say artifacts founded the Hatter's Hideout Cave
Speaker 13: make get the oldest high mountain site continually occupied by
Speaker 13: humans in Australia. In Sport, the state government has rejected
Speaker 13: South Sydney's bid to move back to the Sydney Football Stadium.
Speaker 13: The Rabbit O's have been told they're expected to honor
Speaker 13: their contract and remain based at Stadium Australia until twenty
Speaker 13: thirty one. Clinton. More news at five.
Speaker 2: Than KKT seventeen degrees in the city, it's fourteen degrees.
Speaker 2: It holdsworthy at the moment. More dramas on the roads.
Speaker 2: Thanks for you message, James, James telling me there is
Speaker 2: a car accident app and road traffic. Is it a
Speaker 2: standstill southbound towards the end of Appen Road. We've got
Speaker 2: dramas in Kellyville. A fire is broken out in a home.
Speaker 2: Adam Dewbry from Fine Risky in New South Wales, what
Speaker 2: can you tell me Adam.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we have had a fire out there in Kellyvillin
Speaker 5: gerber A Place that the fire has been extinguished. Unfortunately,
Speaker 5: we've got a number of people that are suffering some
Speaker 5: burns and smokeing elation. Ambulance paramedics are on soon understand
Speaker 5: New South Wales Ambulance helicopter is also on route or
Speaker 5: if not at already there. But yeah, some pretty bad
Speaker 5: news coming out of that fire in gerber A Place.
Speaker 2: Okay, Gerbra Place. So that's just a residential street, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think it's a.
Speaker 5: Mixture of units and some commercial properties out there. But
Speaker 5: the fire has been extinguished, but we do have a
Speaker 5: number of people that have suffered burns.
Speaker 8: I believe three.
Speaker 5: One of those is particularly bad, with another two not
Speaker 5: as bad. But look, burns are painful, and actually they
Speaker 5: can be that bad that they're not painful, but it
Speaker 5: sounds like someone is bad. But the ambulance paramedics are
Speaker 5: on sooon and providing that high care that they can
Speaker 5: on the side of the road there.
Speaker 2: Okay, Adam, thanks to that information for and Rescue. Superintendent
Speaker 2: Adam Dubrey says, Gerbra Place in Kellyville, it's a street
Speaker 2: where there are some units and some industrial complexes there
Speaker 2: as well. But it looks like three people have suffered burns.
Speaker 2: We will talk to the paramedics and find out about
Speaker 2: their conditions.
Speaker 1: Do you want to know what's happening in Sydney Stay
Speaker 1: tuned to Sydney Out with Quinton later on to gb.
Speaker 2: One of the most controversial issues that affects residents of
Speaker 2: the South Coast and particularly around Wollongong a little further
Speaker 2: south around the Illawarra, has been a proposal to build
Speaker 2: offshore wind farms. It was an issue at the federal election.
Speaker 2: There was going to be a Senate inquiry into all
Speaker 2: of this. Well, very quietly, the committee that was to
Speaker 2: lead the inquiry has scrapped that plan. That's despite more
Speaker 2: than thirty four thousand submissions being laudged. Alex O'Brian is
Speaker 2: from Responsible Future Illawarra and joins the Hello Alex Hike Clinton.
Speaker 2: This has been kept basically secret over the past couple
Speaker 2: of days. What do you know about it?
Speaker 8: It has so.
Speaker 24: This was first initiated in July last year and there
Speaker 24: were multiple delays to actually holding this inquiry. We were
Speaker 24: worried it was going to be buried before the election.
Speaker 24: And on just the long weekend, on Friday afternoon a
Speaker 24: report came out with no large attention, no media attention,
Speaker 24: and basically they said we're not going to hold any
Speaker 24: public inquiries and they made a few comments, but it's
Speaker 24: just devastating to all those people around the country.
Speaker 2: That's the strategy when you want to release bad yews.
Speaker 2: You either do it on Melbourne Cup Day, seriously, you
Speaker 2: do it, that's what they do, that's what politicians do,
Speaker 2: or you do it before a long wee can the
Speaker 2: fact that there won't be an inquiry and I think
Speaker 2: we actually have too many inquiries in general though, Alex,
Speaker 2: but why is it a bad thing?
Speaker 24: Well, Quentin, you know, there was no problem with Labor
Speaker 24: initiating an inquiry into nuclear energy, which took a matter
Speaker 24: of two months and had several public inquiries around the country.
Speaker 24: But I'm sure windows of Obviously, the consultation process was
Speaker 24: quite controversial. Many people in all these communities, especially the Laura,
Speaker 24: did not think the consultation was genuine, which is a
Speaker 24: critical component for the minister to determine what a zone
Speaker 24: would look like if a zone would go ahead. Now
Speaker 24: we have had the community in suthern Shire that was
Speaker 24: not consulted, but the zone has been push closer towards them.
Speaker 2: We have developers who talked.
Speaker 24: About what the zone would look like before consultation began,
Speaker 24: and eerily the zone looks very similar to what those.
Speaker 8: Developers said it would look like.
Speaker 24: And so we have concerns that the Minister has not
Speaker 24: properly taken on board the concerns of the community when
Speaker 24: determining what that zone would.
Speaker 15: Look like when he declared it in June last year.
Speaker 2: And you're right to raise these concerns, and this inquiry
Speaker 2: should have happened. The problem's now going to be the
Speaker 2: federal governments swept back into power and they will have
Speaker 2: the support of the Greens in the Upper House, which
Speaker 2: means they're one step close. So Alex, keep up the fight.
Speaker 1: Thanks Clinton.
Speaker 2: Alex O'Brien from Responsible Future, Laura, So, how sneaky you
Speaker 2: decide you announced long ago that you're going to have
Speaker 2: an inquiry and then you cancel it just before the
Speaker 2: long wee can when nobody is watching. When you see
Speaker 2: something around Sidney, let me know about it. One three,
Speaker 2: one eight seven three. Now Leo has seen something quite curious.
Speaker 2: So Leo, where are you Matey Clinton.
Speaker 25: On King George's Road above Beverly Hill Station, someone laying
Speaker 25: on the road in lane one southbound are being treated
Speaker 25: by three ambulance crews.
Speaker 2: Okay, maybe that person's had some sort of accident while
Speaker 2: crossing the road there. And I know that that part
Speaker 2: of King George's Road well, and it's a horror at
Speaker 2: this time of the afternoon, so the traffic must be
Speaker 2: a nightmare.
Speaker 17: And it is.
Speaker 25: I could certainly see it's all the way back past
Speaker 25: more Field Road, but I'm not sure how much further
Speaker 25: back path that it actually is.
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you for letting me know about that. So
Speaker 2: that's King George's Road. Somebody's been treated by paramedics there.
Speaker 2: It's southbound, so southbound's where that the thickest traffic, the
Speaker 2: heaviest traffic is on King George's Road Beverly Hills. Just
Speaker 2: knew near the Beverly Hills train station. That's going to
Speaker 2: send the traffic right back. So somebody's being treated on
Speaker 2: the road there by the paramedics. Please take care if
Speaker 2: you're driving through there on Sydney now you tance handle
Speaker 2: the true first street sto well. Time for our political
Speaker 2: straight shooters segment for a Tuesday Afternoon. We're joined by
Speaker 2: Susan Telberman, the Labor MP F mcquarie, Hello, Susan, good afternoon,
Speaker 2: and the outgoing Liberal Senate to Holy Hughes.
Speaker 15: Hello, Holy Hey Clinton.
Speaker 2: Well, all the dramas actually within the Liberal Party at
Speaker 2: state level, so we might leave you out of that.
Speaker 2: Holy this afternoon, Nick Grind has been appororted. Nick Grind
Speaker 2: has been apported to try and sort out the mess
Speaker 2: that is your party. Let's talk about what's happening overseas.
Speaker 2: Anthony Albernezi unfortunately has had his meeting with Donald Trump canceled. Susan,
Speaker 2: is the government disappointed about this?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 18: I think there's absolutely disappointment. That everyone understands that, you know,
Speaker 18: there's something pretty die happening in the Middle East and
Speaker 18: that no doubt takes precedence. I thought what was interesting
Speaker 18: was that one of the issues we know the Prime
Speaker 18: Minister wanted to discuss with the President was aucus and
Speaker 18: the UK Prime Minister got in first on that, and
Speaker 18: so there's been some very reassuring comments around that, with
Speaker 18: the President not contradicting the Prime Minister of England Britain
Speaker 18: about the commitment to orcus. So I think even though
Speaker 18: there'll be disappointment in a delay now to a face
Speaker 18: to face meeting, there's still been some very positive signs
Speaker 18: and signal scent in this visit.
Speaker 2: Holly. Could have the PM done more and we understand
Speaker 2: why Donald Trump's leaving Canada, that's understandable, but could have
Speaker 2: he done more to secure a meeting earlier?
Speaker 15: Oh?
Speaker 26: Absolutely, I mean, the President's been there for seven months.
Speaker 26: There should have been much earlier attempts to secure a
Speaker 26: face to face It's a critical ally of ours. But
Speaker 26: I think what's interesting and what a lot of people
Speaker 26: are missing here is when Boris Johnson held the g's
Speaker 26: host of the G seven, he had the sort of
Speaker 26: secondary group of leaders in the same area, in the
Speaker 26: same spot and attend the dinner that Donald Trump is
Speaker 26: going to attend to the for he leaves. What's interesting
Speaker 26: the way that Prime Minister Canti has done it over
Speaker 26: in Canada has kept the secondary leaders a couple of
Speaker 26: hours away and not attending the same dinner. So two
Speaker 26: very separate groups of leaders that are in Canada tonight
Speaker 26: in very different places. And you know, people read into
Speaker 26: that what they like. But it's interesting that Boris certainly
Speaker 26: had Scott Morrison and everyone there all together and part
Speaker 26: of the big family photo that the Canadian Prime minister
Speaker 26: has decided not to do.
Speaker 2: During the election campaign. Susan Albo said during think it
Speaker 2: was during the Channel nine debate that he didn't think
Speaker 2: that Donald actually had a phone, So it wasn't as
Speaker 2: simple as picking up the phone in reality, even when
Speaker 2: you're at the level that Anthony Albertez is that is
Speaker 2: it tricky to organize time with a world leader.
Speaker 18: Well, I think you've got the diplomacy is not a
Speaker 18: blunt instrument. You know, it's done protocols, there's ways you
Speaker 18: do things. But I also think that having deep conversations
Speaker 18: in the middle of an election campaign also has a
Speaker 18: level of concern to me in terms of respect for
Speaker 18: the election process. So we are able to have much
Speaker 18: better discussions now now that there's been an election, and
Speaker 18: I think this is the appropriate time, a few weeks
Speaker 18: after an election to have really you know, nailed down
Speaker 18: that meeting.
Speaker 2: Now that's the problem is we don't know when that
Speaker 2: met he's going to be now now that mister Trump's left, they've.
Speaker 18: Had three shone conversations, you know, that's honestly, as a
Speaker 18: radio journal you know how powerful voice is. It's not
Speaker 18: just about being able to eyeball somebody.
Speaker 2: But everyone just sends text messages these days, it's all messages.
Speaker 18: Oh that's the younger generation.
Speaker 2: Well, Donald loves the social media. He loves his social
Speaker 2: media platform. Jim Charmers. Today the Treasurer has indicated that
Speaker 2: he has concede that the war in the Middle East
Speaker 2: is likely to push up oil prices, that petrol prices
Speaker 2: could go up. I think we've actually benefited from fe
Speaker 2: really low dowser prices of late. Would there be a possibility, Susan,
Speaker 2: if we are now in for a sustained conflict in
Speaker 2: the Middle East, that the Labor Party now could consider
Speaker 2: some sort of excise relief now that all the politics
Speaker 2: is out of the way, that the debate over the
Speaker 2: policy that the collign put to the election, could there
Speaker 2: be some excise change.
Speaker 18: Well, at this stage that's not something that we're looking at,
Speaker 18: but we are mindful that there could be volatility of
Speaker 18: petrol prices, and that's what the Treasurers said today. What
Speaker 18: we do is we don't imagine what's going to happen.
Speaker 18: You know, we use the data that we get. We
Speaker 18: take a considered view on what we see over a
Speaker 18: period of time, and wherever we've seen that there's been
Speaker 18: a need for cost of living relief, we have acted
Speaker 18: on that in the best way that we can to
Speaker 18: support the people who most need it. So I know
Speaker 18: there will all eyes will be watching that. But the
Speaker 18: current fuel prices are expected to jump around a bit.
Speaker 18: Certainly seen a little bit.
Speaker 9: Of that in my area.
Speaker 2: Tell me how it works, though, we're in the party
Speaker 2: room within a government when you have a big majority
Speaker 2: of labor now does and lots of back benches. When
Speaker 2: you have the party room meeting in Cambrill, can a
Speaker 2: backbench to just put their hand up and make a
Speaker 2: suggestion on hey, how about we cut policy, how about
Speaker 2: we cut exhaus or do you have to put some
Speaker 2: sort of formal presentation together if you had an idea
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 18: No anyone can ask anything in our caucus meetings. We
Speaker 18: also have caucus committee meetings where we have much more
Speaker 18: detailed policy discussions with less time pressures, and they happen
Speaker 18: prior to the caucus meetings, so there's room forul lots
Speaker 18: of debate. But you can also just pick up the
Speaker 18: phone to the relevant minister or ministers and have a conversation.
Speaker 18: So you know, there are plenty of ways for us
Speaker 18: as backbenches to be able to put forward the concerns
Speaker 18: that we're seeing in our communities.
Speaker 2: Well soon, well, holdly that happens all the time, Holly,
Speaker 2: could you maybe pick up the phone and now that
Speaker 2: you're exiting and you're not playing party politics anymore, could
Speaker 2: you pick up the find a Jim Dr Chalmers and say, hey,
Speaker 2: how about you cut the excise?
Speaker 7: Well, I'm not quite so I don't have his phone
Speaker 7: number for a start.
Speaker 2: Well, Susan can give it to you. Susan, you've got
Speaker 2: phone number.
Speaker 26: But I'm sure Jim would love that.
Speaker 2: America starts with a note zero four.
Speaker 26: But look, on a serious night, going with the fuel prices,
Speaker 26: what we have to remember at all times it's not
Speaker 26: just what you're paying at the bowser where it's going
Speaker 26: to hurt. It's also every single grocery you buy, every
Speaker 26: delivery you get.
Speaker 18: Everything is going.
Speaker 26: To go up in costs if fuel goes up, because
Speaker 26: those costs have to be passed on from those companies
Speaker 26: that are getting food from the farm gate to the
Speaker 26: processes to the supermarket, so you know, the flow on
Speaker 26: effects are significant. It's not just what mums and dads
Speaker 26: pay at the bowser every day.
Speaker 2: Absolutely. On a lighter note, confirmed today that our Pacino started,
Speaker 2: The Godfather and many big movies will become the first
Speaker 2: major celebrity to have an official audience with the newly
Speaker 2: elected Pope, Pope Leo fourteenth. Susan, if you could, if
Speaker 2: you could meet any famous person did or alive, including
Speaker 2: a pope, who would you want to meet?
Speaker 18: Well, actually, I've already met the Dalai Lama, and if
Speaker 18: I could have a longer conversation with the Dalai Lama,
Speaker 18: who turns ninety next month, I would love to do that.
Speaker 18: I caught up with Tibetans today at the Tibetan Kitchen
Speaker 18: in Katoomba, and so he was his top of mind
Speaker 18: for me. But you know the welse Ludwick's I Beethoven.
Speaker 18: I would love to meet Beethoven.
Speaker 2: He's definitely passed.
Speaker 18: Yeah, I was a violinist. I love his violin concerto.
Speaker 18: I just love to talk to him before he lost
Speaker 18: his hearing and you know, really pick his brain.
Speaker 2: Pauline, if you could meet anyone who would it be.
Speaker 26: Well, I'll stick with the musical theme. Then Susan's just
Speaker 26: brought in and I'll tell you I'm a complete George
Speaker 26: Michael and Whitney Houston tragic and if I.
Speaker 18: Could have the two of them, that would be the music.
Speaker 2: Of my youth coming back to life careless whisper.
Speaker 9: Look you know, wake me out for.
Speaker 22: Your go go.
Speaker 26: And there's a long list of Whitney Houston back from
Speaker 26: Greatest Lovable right through to her later dance music that
Speaker 26: she put out, and one of those songs was with
Speaker 26: George Michael.
Speaker 8: So you never know.
Speaker 2: Good on your Holly. Thank you, Susan, Thank you, Susan. Devinman,
Speaker 2: Holy hughes so al Pacina. He's elected to meet Pope
Speaker 2: Leo the fourteenth. I reckon for me the edge from
Speaker 2: you two. Good to be with you this Tuesday afternoon,
Speaker 2: the sun going down across Sydney. Some more details now
Speaker 2: about the fire at Kellyville in Gerbert Street. It's occurred
Speaker 2: in a unit. The fire is now out, that's the
Speaker 2: good news. However, a man in his thirties in a
Speaker 2: serious condition. He is being taken by a helicopter to
Speaker 2: raw Norse Shaw Hospital. Two women are also being treated
Speaker 2: for smoke inflation. They'll be transported to the raw Norse Shore.
Speaker 2: But there are some concerns about the man his thirties.
Speaker 2: Adam Judy believed that there had been burned sustained by
Speaker 2: some of these people involved. So confirmation that three people
Speaker 2: have been injured. Two women being taken to Ronald Shaw
Speaker 2: with smoking elation, the man of his thirties. He is
Speaker 2: being flown to raynal Shaw via helicopter because of the
Speaker 2: state of his condition. It's a unit fire that has
Speaker 2: been extinguished in Kellyville one three, one eight seven three
Speaker 2: is my number. Big drama in the middle of the city.
Speaker 2: This morning the Dailing Center courthouse, which is in Liverpool
Speaker 2: Street had to be closed because there was a burst
Speaker 2: water main in Carsele Ray Street that then affected nosgrid
Speaker 2: substation where we've just had confirmation this is going to
Speaker 2: cause a major problem for our courts. The Downing Center
Speaker 2: court house will not be open for the rest of
Speaker 2: the week.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 2: If you've ever had any illegal dramas and had to
Speaker 2: appear before court at the Downing Center, you'll know the
Speaker 2: Downing Center is over about four or five levels. There's
Speaker 2: a lot of court rooms, so they play a significant
Speaker 2: role in the justice system. Well, it's not going to
Speaker 2: operate for the rest of the week. Cases are going
Speaker 2: to be moved where they can to the Central District Court,
Speaker 2: the King Street Court, Darlinghurston Hospital Road. But they're much
Speaker 2: small facilities that already have their own cases to year.
Speaker 2: So reality is a lot of these cases that would
Speaker 2: have you heard before the Downing Center Court are going
Speaker 2: to be put off down the court list and won't
Speaker 2: be heard for many weeks potentially. That's because of that
Speaker 2: burst waterman. Coming up in the next hour of the program,
Speaker 2: I'm going to give you the chance to win money
Speaker 2: when we play two GB's Winter Wheel.
Speaker 1: This is Sydney now with Clinton on to GB.
Speaker 2: Seven past five one three one eight seven three is
Speaker 2: the number. The latest from the Middle East. Israel has
Speaker 2: now announced they've killed Iran's most senior military commander. They've
Speaker 2: released a statement again on social media. They say, for
Speaker 2: the second time in five days, the IDF has eliminated
Speaker 2: Iran's wartime chief of staff, the regime's top military commander.
Speaker 2: This is a man by the name of Ali Shadmini.
Speaker 2: He has been identified as the man at the top.
Speaker 2: He was only appointed to the role a few days
Speaker 2: ago because Israel killed his predecessor. So the strikes are continuing.
Speaker 2: It is just after ten o'clock now in Tyran, and
Speaker 2: the roads out of the capital are still chockers because
Speaker 2: President Donald Trump US President Trump said it is best
Speaker 2: for local people to leave the capital. Donald Trump has
Speaker 2: also said this afternoon our time, before boarding Air Force
Speaker 2: one to head back to Washington from Calgary, that he
Speaker 2: is not brokering a ceasefire. In fact, he's taken to
Speaker 2: his own social media truth social to attack the French
Speaker 2: President Macron. Now, Emmanuel Macron had indicated that Donald Trump
Speaker 2: would be at the center of some sort of ceasefire deal. Well,
Speaker 2: Donald Trump says that's not the case at all. He says,
Speaker 2: publicity seeking President Emmanuel Macron of France mistakingly said I
Speaker 2: left the g Summit in Canada to go back to
Speaker 2: DC to work on a quote ceasefire.
Speaker 12: Wrong.
Speaker 2: He has no idea why I'm on my way back
Speaker 2: to Washington. But it certainly has nothing to do with
Speaker 2: a ceasefire. It is much bigger than that. Whether purposely
Speaker 2: or not, Emmanuel always gets it wrong. Stay tuned. So
Speaker 2: there is no ceasefire in the Middle East for now.
Speaker 8: If it mattered, thanks to.
Speaker 2: You, you'll hear it here.
Speaker 1: Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard until.
Speaker 2: Said, okay, just an update from Kellyville. The fire that's
Speaker 2: occurred in a unit in gerb Replace. The fire is
Speaker 2: now out. That's the good news. You'll still find if
Speaker 2: you do travel through that area. All the fire brigade
Speaker 2: and the emergency services are still in the scene. There.
Speaker 2: Three people, though, are in serious conditions. A man his
Speaker 2: thirties is being airlifted by a helicopter to rawal Nor
Speaker 2: Show Hospital. We understand he has suffered burns. Two females
Speaker 2: are being treated for smoke inhalation. They'll be taken to
Speaker 2: raw Norsehaw Hospital. It's ten past five now. Premier Chris
Speaker 2: Means today has said that if police ask for him
Speaker 2: to change the laws when it comes to bail, he'll
Speaker 2: give that some consideration. Because, as we've been reporting now
Speaker 2: over the past day, the man who was the target
Speaker 2: of the shooting in the Auburn kebab shop, the m
Speaker 2: Brothers kebab shop in South Parade, the twenty six year
Speaker 2: old who survived, had been released on police bail and
Speaker 2: then Corp bail only a couple of weeks ago when
Speaker 2: he appeared before Paramount, a local court on charges of
Speaker 2: weapons possession. Police argued through their prosecutors before the magistrate
Speaker 2: that he should not be released because quote, he was
Speaker 2: at the EPI center of Sydney's gang law. Nevertheless, the
Speaker 2: court released him. Well, Jason Box, who was the commander
Speaker 2: of the task Force Task Force Falcon that's investigating this
Speaker 2: gang crime, he was on the progmarly earlier and he
Speaker 2: confirmed to me that this particular man has now been
Speaker 2: targeted by would be assassins who aren't very good at
Speaker 2: cheoting people because they miss four times. The latest was
Speaker 2: yesterday in Auburn, but there was another occurrence on Friday
Speaker 2: Friday afternoon in rose Hill and a car that was
Speaker 2: the center of all that has been found burnt out today.
Speaker 2: It's a white ute. Chris Mins has today said that
Speaker 2: he is open to reviewing the laws.
Speaker 11: We have shown a willingness in the past to listen
Speaker 11: to police and enforcement agencies in New South Wales where
Speaker 11: they say new laws are required.
Speaker 12: And obviously I'm concerned about that decision.
Speaker 11: I mean it may based on the last twenty four
Speaker 11: hours I know a lot of people in the community.
Speaker 12: To be very concerned about the decision made by the court.
Speaker 11: The question is whether it was an incorrect or an
Speaker 11: error that was made in retrospect or it should have
Speaker 11: been known at the time.
Speaker 12: I know the Attorney General was looking at the transcript
Speaker 12: as we speak.
Speaker 2: The twenty six year old was given bail based on
Speaker 2: the charges that he was facing, which was a basic
Speaker 2: weapons offense, but police argued against it because they understand
Speaker 2: this bloke is at the center of all this crime
Speaker 2: at the moment, and then the risk is when would
Speaker 2: be assassin's try to kill him and miss they shoot
Speaker 2: other people, like the forty seven year old lady who
Speaker 2: was working at the kebab shop. You'll see the CCTV
Speaker 2: footage on television tonight from that kebab shop, and it's chilling.
Speaker 2: You see these two black, two men covered in black.
Speaker 2: They've got black balakabas on and they run into the show.
Speaker 2: And you see this one guy who's behind the county.
Speaker 2: He's actually shaving the kebab meat on the big rotisserie,
Speaker 2: and he turns around because he can hear the kafuffle,
Speaker 2: and he turns and he sees these two gum and
Speaker 2: he ducks. But when they open fire, they've shot a
Speaker 2: forty seven year old woman twice in the stomach. The
Speaker 2: owner of the kebab shop, Mohammed Ramyan, he has spoken today.
Speaker 12: My suffer my first priority.
Speaker 7: So yeah, I just hope she's doing all right and
Speaker 7: we will support her anything we can.
Speaker 2: Like she doesn't deserve it.
Speaker 8: I'd like to get shot. Well.
Speaker 2: She's in hospital at the moment and she's going to
Speaker 2: pull through. Hopefully she's going to make a good recovery.
Speaker 2: But it shouldn't come to this because the justice system
Speaker 2: shouldn't be letting the public down.
Speaker 8: Three.
Speaker 2: Breaking news this afternoon courtesy the Daily Telegraph that the
Speaker 2: South City rabbit Os have been denied their request to
Speaker 2: play home games in the NRL at Alliance Stadium. The
Speaker 2: Sydney Roosters had argued against it. It was a decision
Speaker 2: for venues New South Wales, effectively the state government. The
Speaker 2: Telegraph reporting that the Sports Minister Steve Camper has written
Speaker 2: to Blake solely to say, ah, not going to happen.
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous. Of course South Sydney should be playing at
Speaker 2: the Sydney Football Stadium. I've had so much feedback on
Speaker 2: this issue throughout the afternoon and we'll talk to MG
Speaker 2: about it after five point thirty. And if you're a
Speaker 2: South supporter, let me know what you think about it.
Speaker 2: I've had a lot of South supporters say this is ridiculous.
Speaker 2: I've had a couple of supporters say no, we like
Speaker 2: playing at a course stadium because we live in the
Speaker 2: western suburbs. Rob says, look as long as they stay
Speaker 2: away from Paramatta Stadium. Because it seems that every male
Speaker 2: and female sporting team is now playing at Paramata Stadium.
Speaker 2: Rob says it is the home of the Yels. The
Speaker 2: rest are just tenants and should remember that. I don't
Speaker 2: care where souths play as long as it's not Paramatta Stadium.
Speaker 2: They should play at a core stadium. And the Sports
Speaker 2: Minister Steve Camper, I know he's a fan of the show.
Speaker 2: He's a good man, Steve Camper. I'm not a Rabbit
Speaker 2: as support of Steve, but I'm urging you do the
Speaker 2: right thing by the Rabbits. Let them play at Alliat's
Speaker 2: until six.
Speaker 1: This is Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard on two GB.
Speaker 1: You call now one three one.
Speaker 2: Eighty seven three if you want to have you saying
Speaker 2: that you can give me a call. Young Australians have
Speaker 2: had some well, sort of positive news. Westpac says almost
Speaker 2: one in six age between twenty five and thirty five
Speaker 2: have actually saved enough money for a five percent deposit. Now,
Speaker 2: why that's now important is because Anthony Albanezi went to
Speaker 2: the election with the guarantee that the government would guarantee
Speaker 2: five percent deposits, which means that a young home buyer
Speaker 2: could borrow ninety five percent of a purchase price. However,
Speaker 2: the issue is many are still being knocked back for
Speaker 2: loans because of the ablitted to service a mortgage long
Speaker 2: term for the repayments. I want to bring in Matthew Hassan,
Speaker 2: who's a senior e commerce with Westpac cod I Matthew, Hey,
Speaker 2: how're the going. I'm good. This is in some ways
Speaker 2: surprising because there's very much a theme that young people
Speaker 2: can't get into the property market, but your research has
Speaker 2: found that a substantial number can do so with a
Speaker 2: five percent deposit.
Speaker 8: That's right.
Speaker 15: We estimate that nationally about four hundred thousand would have
Speaker 15: enough savings to go ahead with a five percent deposit
Speaker 15: on a house purchase at the median price in the
Speaker 15: relevant area. That said, as I sort of mentioned, that's
Speaker 15: only part of the challenge of becoming a first home owner.
Speaker 8: The deposit might have got a bit.
Speaker 15: Easier, but the service ability tests are really the big
Speaker 15: filter I think when it comes to house purchases, and
Speaker 15: with a five percent loan, you know the flip side
Speaker 15: of that, you're going to be borrowing ninety five percent
Speaker 15: of the property price and that's significant hurdle. So while
Speaker 15: it does sort of widen the catch a little bit,
Speaker 15: and if you're where with all income wise, it's a
Speaker 15: pretty good scheme, it's still very challenging for most first
Speaker 15: time buyers looking to get into the market.
Speaker 2: So, Matthew, when you're talking about serviceability, we're talking the repayments,
Speaker 2: whether it's fortnite, leep monthly. The fact that interest rates
Speaker 2: are now trending down, will that mean that there will
Speaker 2: be more younger people will be able to afford based
Speaker 2: on this research that you've released, It.
Speaker 15: Doesn't make it a little bit easier, you know, in
Speaker 15: the end, it depends on you know, the numbers are
Speaker 15: kind of important. You know, the indust races are tunding lower,
Speaker 15: but they're down half a percent, so far. You know,
Speaker 15: we think they'll go another half percent by the end
Speaker 15: of the year and maybe another half percent in the
Speaker 15: first half of the next year. That'll go quite a
Speaker 15: long way towards improving things. But we're not going back
Speaker 15: to the ultra low rates that we have during COVID.
Speaker 15: So given we're prices have moved over the last few years,
Speaker 15: it's still going to be a challenge for most first
Speaker 15: time by so, you know, a step in the right direction,
Speaker 15: a bit better, but still not easy.
Speaker 2: Matthew, what would you say to this, because I'm sure
Speaker 2: I'm going to get messages from some of our listeners
Speaker 2: will point this out. They'll say that, well, when we
Speaker 2: were buying a home in the nineteen eighties, late eighties,
Speaker 2: we had interest rates into the early nineties eighteen percent.
Speaker 2: That younger people don't know how good they've got it
Speaker 2: because the interest rates are so much lower than that.
Speaker 2: How would you respond to that?
Speaker 15: It's a big different is the price levels that they're
Speaker 15: trying to buy at. You know, the median dwelling price
Speaker 15: nationally at the moments that are eight hundred and twenty
Speaker 15: five thousand. That's a world away from the medium prices
Speaker 15: that were availing when we had seventeen to eighty percent
Speaker 15: interest rates, And I know incomes have moved as well
Speaker 15: over that over that long period, but they haven't really
Speaker 15: kept pace. So it's a complete world away from that
Speaker 15: those ultra high industrates. Yeah, of course that was a
Speaker 15: difficult moment for home owners to buy into it for
Speaker 15: the more we felt that had had to copse those
Speaker 15: very high instrates at the time, not saying it wasn't hard,
Speaker 15: but I think that's a measure of just how far
Speaker 15: things have gone. Price was that we are pretty similar
Speaker 15: in terms of affordability to those really stretched interestrate levels
Speaker 15: back then. And the difference really is that, you know,
Speaker 15: today it's the deposit hurdle that's really hard compared to
Speaker 15: the late eighties early nineties, when it was the serviceability
Speaker 15: was the real issue.
Speaker 8: Back then, How on earth are you going to repay.
Speaker 15: Those sorts of interest payments on a mortgage? Now the
Speaker 15: just payments aren't really the owners or the interest rates
Speaker 15: as high, but the deposit hurdle is much higher, and
Speaker 15: the interest payments on the high more which is is
Speaker 15: significantly elevated as well.
Speaker 8: So when you go through and do the.
Speaker 15: Calculations, and I'm sure I think the reply to that
Speaker 15: that sort of assertion would be have a look at
Speaker 15: the home loan calculators online and see how you feel
Speaker 15: about the amount of cash that goes out on servicing
Speaker 15: a mortgage.
Speaker 2: Yeah, good point, Thank you, Matthew. No worries mate, your
Speaker 2: son who's the Westpac senior economist. It was hard back
Speaker 2: in the day of my parents. It's probably a bit
Speaker 2: easier for me when I got to the market twenty
Speaker 2: odd years ago. I do feel for young people these days.
Speaker 2: One three one eight seven three our number eighteen past
Speaker 2: five GV Winter Wheel. That is your cue to call.
Speaker 2: Be the third caller on the prize line, not the
Speaker 2: open line. Call me one three hundred seven double to
Speaker 2: eight seven three for your chance to spin two GB's
Speaker 2: Winter Wheel. We have forty thousand dollars worth of cash
Speaker 2: and prizes to give away, and I've got the wheel
Speaker 2: right in front of me. I've been practicing throughout the day.
Speaker 2: You could win as much as two and a half
Speaker 2: thousand dollars in a single hit. We've got great prizes
Speaker 2: from the Dds Group. We've got wonderful prizes from Dante
Speaker 2: Genie and lots of cash to give away, so you
Speaker 2: need to be the third caller one three hundred seven
Speaker 2: double two eight seven three.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard on two
Speaker 1: GB Colm Now one three to one eight seven three.
Speaker 2: My guy coming up after five point thirty and I've
Speaker 2: got some more information about South Sydney. I'll share with
Speaker 2: you in just a moment the plan to move to
Speaker 2: Alliance Stadium, which has now been thwarted by the state government.
Speaker 2: But I'm often asked, usually around the twenty sixth of July,
Speaker 2: how do we determine the Australia of the Year and
Speaker 2: how are people nominated to be Australia of the Year.
Speaker 2: The process is actually getting underway now. Mark Fraser is
Speaker 2: the CEO of the National Australia Council and joins us Mark.
Speaker 2: This is a question people are always asking me, usually
Speaker 2: around Australia. How do you become the Australian of the Year?
Speaker 10: Okay, Clinton, it's tri week to be joining you. Look,
Speaker 10: it's really a straightforward process. But it's a grassroots, community
Speaker 10: led nomination program. And that's the thing that a lot
Speaker 10: of people don't realize. It takes a member of the
Speaker 10: community to take the time to reach out and nominate
Speaker 10: someone that they know, someone that they've heard of, that
Speaker 10: they think is inspiring, someone who brings us together as
Speaker 10: a nation and really makes us proud.
Speaker 2: So an everyday person can nominate another everyday person.
Speaker 10: That's exactly right. In fact, it's the only way they
Speaker 10: can be considered. And we rely on thousands of Australians
Speaker 10: every year who take a few minutes out of their
Speaker 10: day to recognize someone fantastic. It's super easy. You just
Speaker 10: go to australianof the Year dot org dot au and
Speaker 10: click nominate now and it just takes a few minutes.
Speaker 10: And just nominating someone can be the recognition that they're
Speaker 10: really looking for to pat on the back, encouragement to
Speaker 10: keep going. Just knowing that someone in the community thought
Speaker 10: enough of them to nominate them is really important.
Speaker 2: And it does work on a state by state basis,
Speaker 2: doesn't it It does.
Speaker 10: Yeah, So thousands of nominations across the country and then
Speaker 10: all of the nominations for each state and territory gets
Speaker 10: sent to them to look through the eligibility and to shortlist,
Speaker 10: and then we choose the Australians of the Year and
Speaker 10: each of the four categories. That's the Australian of the Year,
Speaker 10: the Young Australian of the Year between sixteen and thirty,
Speaker 10: Senior Australian of the Year sixty five plus and also
Speaker 10: the Local Hero, those dead set local legends, and we
Speaker 10: choose in each state and territory the local winners each
Speaker 10: year and then it's from that group that the national
Speaker 10: recipients are selected for announcement on the twenty fifth of
Speaker 10: January each year.
Speaker 2: Well it's good that week and actually begin the process.
Speaker 2: So just to repeat, where do we go what website Australian.
Speaker 10: Off Theyear dot org dotu and at least nominate. Now
Speaker 10: it's super easy if you think of all of those
Speaker 10: incredible people from New South Wales so have got up
Speaker 10: in recent years, Georgina Long and Professor Richard Scalia from
Speaker 10: the Melanomer.
Speaker 2: It's just so worthy, yes, unbelievable.
Speaker 10: They were the twenty twenty four recipients and so many
Speaker 10: more before them from New South Wales. So I know
Speaker 10: there's someone out there right now who's going to be
Speaker 10: the next Australian of the Year, and it just takes
Speaker 10: someone to nominate.
Speaker 2: Okay, good on you, Mark, thank you for your time
Speaker 2: terrific bo Mark Fraser from the National Australiaay Council. So
Speaker 2: just go on to their website and look. It'll take
Speaker 2: a little bit of time, but it's probably worth doing
Speaker 2: to actually nominate someone who's worthy. Twenty six past five, right,
Speaker 2: I have a statement now from the Office of the
Speaker 2: Minister for Sports, Steve Campe, on this decision that's been
Speaker 2: made today. Did a nice South Sydney the ability to
Speaker 2: return to more Park, which I think is wrong now.
Speaker 2: The statement says the Rabbitos are contracted to play nine
Speaker 2: matches per season at a course stadium, sydneyly Pig Park
Speaker 2: until twenty thirty, as they have since two thousand and six.
Speaker 2: We look forward to continuing to work Thebidos as they
Speaker 2: create the best game day experience for their fans. The
Speaker 2: cost to taxpayers of relocating the Rabbitos from a core
Speaker 2: to Alliance Sydney Football Stadium has been estimated by Venues
Speaker 2: New South Wales to result in a net loss of
Speaker 2: between four and a half million dollars and fourteen million dollars,
Speaker 2: largely attributed to long term agreements around naming rights and
Speaker 2: commercial programs. So the fact that the Sidney Olympics Stadium
Speaker 2: as a naming rights partner. At the moment it's a
Speaker 2: core so that deal would not be worth as much
Speaker 2: to the government as Rabbitos didn't play there. This is
Speaker 2: taxpayers money. We simply can't afford to spend on moving
Speaker 2: stadiums to the rabbit doos. We have critical essential services,
Speaker 2: including schools hospitals that need to be funded. The rabbit
Speaker 2: Os have three uncontracted home matches per year venues. New
Speaker 2: South Wales remains open to hosting the rabbit O's at
Speaker 2: the Alliance Stadium for those games. They tell us they've
Speaker 2: invested one hundred and twenty million dollars at a court
Speaker 2: stadium in recent years to improve facilities including the new
Speaker 2: screens and Wi Fi and speakers, and they're upgrading food
Speaker 2: as well, including Sushi Hub and Zeus Street, Greek Food
Speaker 2: and El Janna. Well, that's a wonderful the food's got.
Speaker 2: A great problem is Rabbitos don't belong at Homebush. They
Speaker 2: belong at Moore Park. Should South Sydney be allowed to
Speaker 2: be playing at Moore Park? The government has rejected the proposal.
Speaker 2: I'll talk to mg about it shortly, but Brett says
Speaker 2: and the text line, know they should stay where they
Speaker 2: are at Olympic Park. Everyone thinks they can break contracts. No,
Speaker 2: they belong where the contract they signed says they do.
Speaker 2: But see soouts argue that the government didn't live up
Speaker 2: to their end of the bargain because they didn't upgrade
Speaker 2: the Olympic Park stadium to the extent they wanted. More
Speaker 2: feedback coming in. We'll come to that in the moment.
Speaker 2: Let's check out his headlines and we've got the late
Speaker 2: as Katie Puller.
Speaker 13: Good afternoon, Clinton. Two women and a man are being
Speaker 13: taken to hospital after fire broke out at a unit
Speaker 13: complex in Kellyville. They're being treated for serious burns and
Speaker 13: smoke inhalation. Sydney's Downing Center Court will likely be out
Speaker 13: of action for the rest of the week after a
Speaker 13: water main burst. Two people were rescued from a lift
Speaker 13: and hundreds evacuated from the complex as water cascaded Downcastle
Speaker 13: Raagh Street. Two new primary schools being built in the
Speaker 13: city's southwest as part of a promise to deliver more
Speaker 13: classrooms to the growing area. Funding has been set aside
Speaker 13: in the budget for facilities at Leppington and Emeralds Hills
Speaker 13: and a council meeting will be held tonight to discuss
Speaker 13: how to better run a Christmas Day party at Bronte Beach. Alcohol,
Speaker 13: bands and tickets are among the measures being considered to
Speaker 13: control crowds and curb the amount of rubbish being left
Speaker 13: behind in sport. A huge blow for the Giants in
Speaker 13: the AFL, Star defender Sam Taylor will miss up to
Speaker 13: six weeks with a fractured toe. Small defender Brent Daniels

Speaker 2: going to spin the wheel. Okay, yep, okay, here we go.
Speaker 2: I'm going to give it a really good pull this time.
Speaker 2: Here we go spinning around. Now, it's probably going to
Speaker 2: spin about forty seven times before it comes to a stop.
Speaker 2: It's going pretty fast, actually, because I'm pretty good at
Speaker 2: spinning the wheel. Okay, we're counting down. It's slowing down.
Speaker 2: You can hear it ticking away. There, there's seven, fifty,
Speaker 2: there's a thousand. It's just gone past fifteen hundred. His
Speaker 2: DENTI Genie has just gone past one thousand and seven
Speaker 2: to fifty National Tiles or it stopped fifteen hundred dollars.
Speaker 25: You Ripple of Beauty, Thank you so much.
Speaker 2: You've just won fifteen hundred bucks.
Speaker 25: That is the easiest money. And I didn't even have
Speaker 25: to think.
Speaker 2: You just listened to two GB. You just listen to
Speaker 2: Confirmed today, the number one radio station in Sydney, number one.
Speaker 2: All right, thank you, thank you, We are number one
Speaker 2: and we love you. Mark. Good on you, Mark awesome.
Speaker 25: Thank you so much.
Speaker 2: Well, you are going to be spinning right throughout the
Speaker 2: day tomorrow. So with Breakfast with Ben Fordham, the number
Speaker 2: one breakfast show in this city. I should point out,
Speaker 2: you'll have the chance to win again with two GB's
Speaker 2: Winter Wheel and with the number one morning presenter, Mark
Speaker 2: Levy and with the number one afternoon talk show host
Speaker 2: Michael McLaren tomorrow and again with me. We will be
Speaker 2: spitting the Winter Wheel all day long tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Finance Update, So the other way you can.
Speaker 2: Make money is on the stock market. Now, we do
Speaker 2: not provide financial advice on this program, but Scott Heyward
Speaker 2: certainly does a great job when he presents Money News
Speaker 2: from seven o'clock, filling in for Death Night. Hello Scott,
Speaker 2: Hello Clinton, very kind.
Speaker 27: If Mark's still on the line, which I'm sure he is,
Speaker 27: I'm here.
Speaker 2: Can you hear me?
Speaker 27: Clinton?
Speaker 2: He's got a very excited can you hear me? Clinton?
Speaker 2: You've just listened with Spinning the week Now, a very.
Speaker 27: Very big day for Mark obviously, just winning fifteen hundred
Speaker 27: dollars Clinton, and I've got away for him to spend
Speaker 27: that money, which I'll talk to you about in a moment.
Speaker 27: But everything was really about the Middle East tensions, and
Speaker 27: unfortunately I shouldn't say fortunately, but fortunately our market didn't
Speaker 27: fall significantly, only down seven points to eighty five hundred
Speaker 27: and forty one at the close. Obviously, the tensions between
Speaker 27: is Raean and I Run have remain elevated even days
Speaker 27: after the missile attacks from both countries. And obviously now
Speaker 27: Donald Trump has left the G seven meeting in Canada
Speaker 27: abruptly to try and deliver some sort of threat to Iran,
Speaker 27: to say, well, it's time to put the guns down
Speaker 27: and start to behave. But a shell market, as I said,
Speaker 27: wasn't affected heavily. Our dollars sitting above sixty five point
Speaker 27: three US sense. But back on Mark's fifteen hundred dollars
Speaker 27: win from the big wheel, there is a new US
Speaker 27: president bit of merch on the market, and it is
Speaker 27: called but dare I say it, Trump Mobile. Yes, his
Speaker 27: fame is now going to go into the mobile phone
Speaker 27: service and production industry. Of course, he's already put his
Speaker 27: hand in the wheel or his finger in the pie
Speaker 27: of things such as sneakers and fragrances and watchers and
Speaker 27: even bibles. But now he is heading into Trump Mobile.
Speaker 27: Now the phone which is going to sit it around
Speaker 27: about US five hundred dollars a phone, meaning that Mark
Speaker 27: and spank is one thousand dollars if you wants one,
Speaker 27: which of course is more than half of what an
Speaker 27: iPhone costs Clinton. But yes, that's the latest project from
Speaker 27: Donald Trump. Eric Trump's running it. He said it will
Speaker 27: be eventually manufactured locally in the US, because everything is
Speaker 27: about the United States of America in the Trump family.
Speaker 1: On Sydney. Now, a weather update will be here to
Speaker 1: help in unexpected weather. Nrima insurance, a help come.
Speaker 2: It should remain drive this evening. At the moment on
Speaker 2: the coast, it's fifteen degrees, thirteen degrees across the western suburbs.
Speaker 2: Now tomorrow it looks like a nice day on the way,
Speaker 2: a sunny day with sixteen degrees mostly sunny, and seventeen
Speaker 2: degrees on Thursday, partly cloudy on Friday, with eighteen across
Speaker 2: the weekend, cloudy on Saturday, mostly sunny on Sunday. I'm
Speaker 2: getting so many messages here both sides the story when
Speaker 2: it comes to South Sydney where they should play. So
Speaker 2: the state government's confirmed this afternoon. I've just given you
Speaker 2: that statement from the Sports Minister, Steve Campa that they're
Speaker 2: not going to be moving from the Olympic Stadium to Alliance,
Speaker 2: And so many messages here on the text line, both
Speaker 2: sides of the story. This one's from Simon regarding South
Speaker 2: Sydney requesting the move. It's just another chapter written in
Speaker 2: the book of feuds. Clem says, when the shite hit
Speaker 2: the fan with South being an NRL site, all teams
Speaker 2: were meant to have a stadium, the cade for twenty
Speaker 2: five thousand people, and they never provided that. They shouldn't
Speaker 2: even be in the league. Ill, come on, Clem, they
Speaker 2: shouldn't even be in the league. Well what does MG
Speaker 2: think about that? Do you nex? South Sydney don't even
Speaker 2: have a right to be in the league.
Speaker 5: MG?
Speaker 8: Hello mate, how are you buddy? I'm just hearing this.
Speaker 23: What's going on?
Speaker 2: So confirmation? You know South Sydney had been lobbying through
Speaker 2: Blake Soley to move from Sydney Olympic Park to more
Speaker 2: Park Sydney Football Stadium. Well formally the state governors today
Speaker 2: said no they can't.
Speaker 8: Oh that's a crying show. I think they should.
Speaker 6: There's plenty of room for the two teams at all stadium.
Speaker 6: We've got four teams playing out of Combank.
Speaker 2: I agree. But what Steve Camp of the Sports Minister
Speaker 2: has said, and I've just been given a message from
Speaker 2: his office, if they were to move, it would cost
Speaker 2: between four and a half million dollars and fourteen million
Speaker 2: dollars a year because they would lose revenue through naming
Speaker 2: rights and other revenue sources for the Olympic stadium.
Speaker 8: Oh okay, so it's a double and tendre money thing.
Speaker 8: Oh well, Look, I was there last last.
Speaker 6: Weekend at a course stadium and I really think when
Speaker 6: they have a club game there, they've got to start
Speaker 6: giving ten dollar tickets.
Speaker 8: What they did for the weekend before between the.
Speaker 6: Doggies in Parramatta on the good Monday the King Charles's
Speaker 6: Birthday honors, when.
Speaker 2: So they opened up the top deck of the stadium
Speaker 2: for those ten dollars tickets.
Speaker 8: Sixty thousand people ten bucks.
Speaker 6: Look, it's because when you used to the NRAL in
Speaker 6: twenty twenty five in crowds especially, you know when you
Speaker 6: see the Warriors and you see mainly even though they're
Speaker 6: not traveling that well at the moment, mainly, but.
Speaker 8: They're packing out their stadium.
Speaker 6: And when you go to somewhere like a course stadium
Speaker 6: and you see that there's fifteen thousand people in our
Speaker 6: seventy eighty thousand capacity stadium, it's.
Speaker 8: Just not a good look. It's just not a good look.
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Now you were in Perth. You flirved Berth this
Speaker 2: morning for State of Origin two.
Speaker 8: Yeah I did. I'm actually on the nineteenth floor of
Speaker 8: my hotel. I'm looking right off the stadium. I can
Speaker 8: say it.
Speaker 6: It's about three k's away as the crow.
Speaker 8: Flies the lights have just come on.
Speaker 6: There to my right is Whaka Cricket.
Speaker 8: Well.
Speaker 6: I played my first game for the Western Red against
Speaker 6: Saint George. So it's a bit of a big vibe
Speaker 6: out here at the moment.
Speaker 8: Clinton.
Speaker 6: It's at the airport on the way over here, there's
Speaker 6: a lot of maro Own, a lot of blue on
Speaker 6: the flight, which was Jim Pack. There's a lot of
Speaker 6: talk about Origin and once we've settled into our lodgings
Speaker 6: there's even more talk about Origin tomorrow night in the
Speaker 6: news and so it's fantastic.
Speaker 2: We'll get on the preview details actual football tomorrow when
Speaker 2: you're on the show m G. But this is what
Speaker 2: this is what always intrigues me when Origin has played
Speaker 2: in Perth, whether it's in Melbourne in Adelaide, they're fans
Speaker 2: who are watching two other states. I don't quite understand
Speaker 2: and it's actually been really successful because they keep pick craps.
Speaker 2: I don't understand how the fans then are able to
Speaker 2: latch onto one of those other states and support them
Speaker 2: because it's they're not from those states.
Speaker 8: No, well, that's that's exactly right. I think.
Speaker 6: You know, most times it's usually Queensland who have the
Speaker 6: more in a state, if it's Melbourne or Adelaide or Perth,
Speaker 6: because as we always always know, they're always in the
Speaker 6: underdogs and they're always the little brothers, so they tend
Speaker 6: to get the sybe sibity card from those states that
Speaker 6: aren't really great Bulague states. But I must confess there
Speaker 6: was a lot of blue on my flight and the
Speaker 6: way over here.
Speaker 20: And.
Speaker 6: I'm actually taking I've got a bit of our news
Speaker 6: today about about tomorrow night's game that I will be
Speaker 6: taking the game Boy out onto the stadium to put
Speaker 6: on the little plume.
Speaker 2: OMG, what an honor. You're going to deliver the game ball.
Speaker 6: I'm delivering the game ball in my New South Wales,
Speaker 6: Jersey thanks to Westpac.
Speaker 8: I'll be out there. I don't know. I found that
Speaker 8: out yesterday, so I'm very excited about it.
Speaker 2: Congratulations m GE. Now that would be obviously in recognition
Speaker 2: of your fine work with yourself well, but also that
Speaker 2: you are, Let's be honest, you are probably the biggest
Speaker 2: Perth rugby league identity there's ever been because you played
Speaker 2: for the Western Reds, I think.
Speaker 8: So, I think you've nailed it.
Speaker 2: Well, it's you and Brad McKay who did the red It's.
Speaker 6: Funny because we were the two. We were the first
Speaker 6: two players they signed. And there's actually a Western Reds
Speaker 6: reunion on this week as we speak. So tonight I'll
Speaker 6: be catching up with a couple. I'm catching up with
Speaker 6: Zero and boy Cord and I'm doing a function with them.
Speaker 6: So the timeframe is different because it's it's quarter to
Speaker 6: four here in Perth, so I'm catching up with them
Speaker 6: at about six pm tonight to do a function from
Speaker 6: seven to nine Perth time.
Speaker 8: So that's and then the Western Reds arrive in town
Speaker 8: for the.
Speaker 6: Origin tomorrow night and they go all the way through
Speaker 6: the weekend, which is the Dolphins playing over here in Perth.
Speaker 2: I think as well, saying it's are you telling me
Speaker 2: it's a week long reunion?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm tapping out after two days.
Speaker 2: Ex football players in a week long reunion that's going
Speaker 2: to get ugly.
Speaker 8: They're a good bunch of blocks Western red boys, they
Speaker 8: really are. It's one of the reasons. Well, I always
Speaker 8: tell you when.
Speaker 6: You listen to me about how much I love the place.
Speaker 6: And it's changed so much. You know, it's still a
Speaker 6: quiet city, but it's the enterprise over here is you
Speaker 6: can tell it's just coming out of the bleacher.
Speaker 8: So it's looking really good.
Speaker 2: I think it's fantastic to have the Bears back. Hey,
Speaker 2: just reunions. Did you go along to your school reunion,
Speaker 2: your high school reunion?
Speaker 8: I went to one.
Speaker 6: I went to one, and I would know I was
Speaker 6: embarrassing because unless they had name tags, I didn't know
Speaker 6: who everyone was.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I went to my So I went to my
Speaker 2: thirty year reunion a couple of years ago, and yeah,
Speaker 2: there were one of the guys got up on lone list.
Speaker 2: AGE thought, where'd they get that bloke from?
Speaker 12: It?

Speaker 2: along to your high school reunion? Did you wear a
Speaker 2: name so we didn't have name tags it ours?
Speaker 22: Did you?
Speaker 2: I mean that'd be wise, wouldn't it, Because you can
Speaker 2: be a bit embarrassed if you bowl up to someone
Speaker 2: to have a yarn and then you don't know what
Speaker 2: their name was. And that actually happened to me like
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago. Hey, let us know one
