Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks for listening in, and thanks to Carl and
Speaker 1: Milsey for the Bricky Show today here until one o'clock.
Speaker 1: Lots to here from you talkback radio program on a
Speaker 1: talk back radio station six PR. If you're new to
Speaker 1: the show, give us a call. We always ask a
Speaker 1: yes no question a poll that we take during the
Speaker 1: course of the morning, and today's question is about air
Speaker 1: travel and would you travel at the moment's given the
Speaker 1: situation in the Middle East. The phone lines are open
Speaker 1: one double three eight eighty two and the text lines
Speaker 1: up and running zero four eighty seven, triple nine eighty two.
Speaker 1: We're late for work this morning. I was, I think
Speaker 1: most people in our office was the police closed the freeway,
Speaker 1: the Mitchell Freeway southbound for legitimate reasons today and it
Speaker 1: was very very heavy traffic, wasn't it. So Yeah, just
Speaker 1: on the on the freeway and you saw the four
Speaker 1: I was on the tree US five and you saw
Speaker 1: the four four crosses for the lanes being closed. Everyone
Speaker 1: had to get off at Vincent Street through from five
Speaker 1: o'clock through to about seven o'clock this morning. I think
Speaker 1: we're very very heavy traffic. Indeed, were you were you
Speaker 1: late for the work? This morning. Well on to the police.
Speaker 1: They did close the freeway for legitimate reasons this morning.
Speaker 1: One double three eight eighty two. If that was you
Speaker 1: or we want to SMS ME zero four eight seven
Speaker 1: triple nine eight eighty two. Coming up on the show today,
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about Kids Sport. Kids Sport has
Speaker 1: been an incredibly successful program for disadvantaged kids and families
Speaker 1: to play community sport. You know, just Battler kids. Batler
Speaker 1: families been able to play community sport because of Kids Sports,
Speaker 1: something like one hundred and thirty thousand kids. And looks
Speaker 1: like in the budget last week that's the Treasurer and
Speaker 1: the government have snuck through this idea of reducing the
Speaker 1: Kids Sport money, reducing the value of the Kids Sport
Speaker 1: voucher from five hundred dollars to three hundred bucks. Now
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that in just a second, because it
Speaker 1: was in August last year that the then Sports and
Speaker 1: rec Minister Dave Templeman made quite a fuss, big song
Speaker 1: on Dance about the fact that the money was going
Speaker 1: from three up to five hundred. So what will that
Speaker 1: mean for kids sport families? I suspect it will mean
Speaker 1: that kids only play one sport. They either play winter
Speaker 1: sport or summer sport, and the parents themselves will have
Speaker 1: to fork out a little bit more. It's been a
Speaker 1: very successful program. Since twenty and eleven, one hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty thousand vouchers have been handed out, or sorry, one
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty thousand kids have been recipients of a
Speaker 1: Kid's Sport voucher. So we'll try and work out why
Speaker 1: today that the amount has been reduced from five hundred
Speaker 1: bucks to three hundred bucks, and what does it mean
Speaker 1: for kids and their families. It's it's kind of hard
Speaker 1: to understand where we are. You know, we've got an
Speaker 1: operating surplus, a net debt, of course, but we have
Speaker 1: an operating surplus of costs about twenty million dollars this program,
Speaker 1: and it's been the voucher amount has been reduced one
Speaker 1: double three eight eighty two. Love to hear from you
Speaker 1: today a true detective with Dave Parkinson today, the veteran
Speaker 1: cropper will join us after ten o'clock. We'll take us
Speaker 1: through some tense times in Laburton when Parky was a
Speaker 1: young copper. There's a fair bit happening in Laverton back
Speaker 1: in the day, and a follow up to a story
Speaker 1: we did last week on recycling contain us for change
Speaker 1: and you know the notion of maybe making items return
Speaker 1: from ten cents to twenty cents, and we spoke about
Speaker 1: product stewardship. So we'll speak to a bloke who started
Speaker 1: a tie recycling plant up in the northern suburbs. It's
Speaker 1: a good story. We'll have a question for you. We
Speaker 1: want to try and clear something up this morning.
Speaker 2: Right, let's clear this up once and for all.
Speaker 1: So, given what we've seen, given the US has has
Speaker 1: made attacks onto the Tran Nuclear in Richmond facilities, and
Speaker 1: now given there's been a response from Tehran from Iran,
Speaker 1: President Trump has declared, or shortly declared, there is a
Speaker 1: twelve hour ceasefire between Israel and Iran. So that's mister
Speaker 1: Trump saying that. Read into that what you will. That's
Speaker 1: his thoughts and he's obviously a serious stakeholder and broker
Speaker 1: in all of this. So, yes, no question, would you
Speaker 1: jump on a plane at the moment, Would you jump
Speaker 1: on a plane at the moment? What are you hearing?
Speaker 1: Would you jump on a plane at the moment? Yes
Speaker 1: or no? So there are delays or changes to the
Speaker 1: Perth London route which is heading to Singapore. We know
Speaker 1: that a flight's been recalled Perth to Paris. We understand
Speaker 1: that many of the Doha flights have been canceled as well.
Speaker 1: So my question for you, yes or no? Would you
Speaker 1: jump on a plane at the moment, particularly if it
Speaker 1: was heading through or to the Middle East. I've had
Speaker 1: a little look around this morning and the defat travel advice.
Speaker 1: You know, there's some criticism that mister Albernizi and pennywe
Speaker 1: weren't saying much over the last few days. Well, the
Speaker 1: defect travel advice is still dated the fifteenth of June,
Speaker 1: so it hasn't been updated since the fifteenth of June.
Speaker 1: Do not travel to Iran, Israel and the occupied Palestinean territories.
Speaker 1: There's no mention of countries near to those areas, like
Speaker 1: Doha and others. So the stopovers from Perth to London
Speaker 1: are places like Singapore, Jubai, Bangkok, Doha, Abba Dabi in
Speaker 1: Hong Kong. Would you are you considering not hopping on
Speaker 1: a plane? Is that you love to hear from you today?
Speaker 1: Mix says yes' a hoby in a plane in a
Speaker 1: heartbeat Hayden says, yes, I had travel would exclude a
Speaker 1: number of destinations. Thank you, Hayden. This one here from Brendan. Hi,
Speaker 1: Simon Gide, Brendan, I'm probably a no for air travel,
Speaker 1: but probably only to European countries. Took my wife and
Speaker 1: how to get to work from will up. Yes, same
Speaker 1: this morning, Brendan. It was very very heavy traffic. Indeed,
Speaker 1: I'd love to hear from you today one number three
Speaker 1: eight at two. Will you be hopping on a plane
Speaker 1: anytime soon? Some of our mates are heading to London
Speaker 1: and they you know, and they will have stopovers and
Speaker 1: they are concerned about it. The DEFAT travel advice hasn't
Speaker 1: been updated since the fifteenth of June and doesn't mention
Speaker 1: anything about the US entering the escalating hostilities. But Smart
Speaker 1: Traveler does have a little bit more information than DEFAT
Speaker 1: website hasn't been updated since the fifteenth of June. I
Speaker 1: find that incredible. Would you jump on a plane at
Speaker 1: the moment?
Speaker 3: That?
Speaker 1: Yes? Are five and the nose of one fourteen minutes
Speaker 1: past nine. Thanks for listening in today, love to hear
Speaker 1: from you. Going to talk kid sport next here on
Speaker 1: the program, We're going to talk to people who are
Speaker 1: intimately evolved with community sport and with volunteering, and I
Speaker 1: wonder what they think about the kids sport amount being
Speaker 1: knocked back from five hundred bucks to three hundred bucks.
Speaker 1: We do have some audio from August the seventh last year.
Speaker 1: Stay listening, Thanks for listening. In one double three eight
Speaker 1: eight two is the talk back line and the text
Speaker 1: number is zero four at seven triple nine eight eighty two.
Speaker 1: Yes or no? It would you hop on a plane
Speaker 1: at the moment, particularly if it was going to Europe
Speaker 1: or going near to the Middle East on a stopover
Speaker 1: or a destination. The yeses are seven and the nose
Speaker 1: to two. Lots of correspondence on this one. Darren says no,
Speaker 1: you'd have to have rocks in your head. Good day, Darren,
Speaker 1: Thank you. Karen says yes on fly, but not to
Speaker 1: any destinations in the Middle East, mind you. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: go there even if there were no problems. This one
Speaker 1: here from John Gooday. John, my daughter traveled to Doha
Speaker 1: on Saturday, then on to Paris and is now in Casablanca,
Speaker 1: returning in a week's time through Doha again, Praying she
Speaker 1: will be safe. Thanks Johnny. Yes, Doha is well and
Speaker 1: truly in the cross heres. Yes only to New Zealand,
Speaker 1: says Steve from Kenny Mills. Thank you, Steve. Terrence says yes,
Speaker 1: as long as it's not here India. Thanks mate. We'll
Speaker 1: talk kids sporting just a moment. Case is so much
Speaker 1: for Rita's cost of living, helpful families. Reducing the money
Speaker 1: for kids sport will have consequences for decades to come.
Speaker 1: So it's being reduced from five hundred bucks to three
Speaker 1: hundred bucks. We'll talk about this in a sick on
Speaker 1: the program Margaret's founding. Hello Margaret, good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 4: I was just thringing up about the air travel. We
Speaker 4: know someone who is flying to London tonight and he
Speaker 4: was flying with Qatar through Dolha. He got an olficashion yesterday.
Speaker 4: The two flights have been changed and they're now flying
Speaker 4: through Hong Kong.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, and how do you?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so how are you? How are you feeling about that?
Speaker 1: As a family member.
Speaker 6: I would travel, you would.
Speaker 7: Yes.
Speaker 4: We flew out from the UK after being on holiday
Speaker 4: when there was all the Iran and Iraq problems and
Speaker 4: basically the plane just went up a few thousand feet,
Speaker 4: flew along and came back down.
Speaker 8: Yeah, okay, so the normal and.
Speaker 9: It doesn't worry me.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, it.
Speaker 4: Doesn't worry me at all.
Speaker 10: I would jump on a plane.
Speaker 4: I don't think i'd want to go through.
Speaker 9: Your heart or Dubai.
Speaker 4: At the moment. I would probably find another route, but
Speaker 4: I would still get on a plane.
Speaker 1: And fly if I had to back to the Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, thank you, Margaret, thanks for calling in, Thanks
Speaker 1: for your thoughts, have a good day. Thank you. Lots
Speaker 1: of correspondence on this Lee, Sorry, John is a no,
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to fly at the moment. The fieries
Speaker 1: are out and about with placards and signage on major
Speaker 1: arterial roads asking for better paying condition. So I'm assuming
Speaker 1: that's professional firefighters. That's just coming from one of our listeners.
Speaker 1: Lots of correspondence on this. No, I wouldn't get on
Speaker 1: a plane at this time of unrest, says Linda, Thank you.
Speaker 5: Linda.
Speaker 1: Pete says, don't let a war get in the way
Speaker 1: of a great holiday. Too many drama queens fearmongering on
Speaker 1: this one, so that say yes lots and Jerry from
Speaker 1: Batande and hello jez I heading for Africa next Monday,
Speaker 1: which I booked a long time ago. No why I'm
Speaker 1: going to cancel. I hope you don't miss me. We
Speaker 1: will will Jerry travel safe mate, thank you. It was
Speaker 1: in August last year the David Templeman, then Sports and
Speaker 1: Recreation Minister, was out and about proudly announcing that the
Speaker 1: state government was increasing the kid Sport voucher amount to
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars. He is the former sports minister. David
Speaker 1: Temple won in August last year.
Speaker 11: The highly successful Kids Sport program has been enhanced by
Speaker 11: the Cook government. We've now enhanced it to five hundred dollars.
Speaker 11: We want more and more children young people to be
Speaker 11: accessing community sport.
Speaker 12: And to be able to do that affordably.
Speaker 11: That's why we have seen the two thousand more participants
Speaker 11: in the Kids Sport program since last year. But I
Speaker 11: want to as Sports Minister, to grow that even more
Speaker 11: because we know how much benefit it is both mentally
Speaker 11: and physically for those children young people to be participants.
Speaker 1: All right, So the state budget of last week has
Speaker 1: has quietly reduced the amount back down to to is
Speaker 1: it two hundred or three hundred sree from five hundred
Speaker 1: dollars to three dollars, so we've been making some calls today.
Speaker 1: This program has been in effect since twenty eleven, came
Speaker 1: in under the Barnet government. It's long been successful. One
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty thousand kids, two hundred and fifty thousand vouchers.
Speaker 1: The biggest recipients of the sports are the codes, football, netball, gymnastics.
Speaker 1: They're the big three. I think that get the most
Speaker 1: amount of kids bought vouchers. We'll just check that. So footy, netball, soccer,
Speaker 1: are basketball, and gymnastics are the big five. They're the
Speaker 1: top five sports. So in case you're not familiar with
Speaker 1: kids bought money, it comes from the state. A family apply.
Speaker 1: They apply to the kids sport team at the department
Speaker 1: or to the local government at the local rec center
Speaker 1: or the library. That's assessed by the kid sport team.
Speaker 1: You get a tick and then the money goes to
Speaker 1: the club. The money goes to the club, not to
Speaker 1: the family, so win win win for the family. The
Speaker 1: kid can play sport across a range of sports. It's
Speaker 1: been around since twenty eleven. For some reason, the government
Speaker 1: has reduced the amount. Theresa Newton last year was became
Speaker 1: the sports wherest Volunteer of the Year joins me. Now good,
Speaker 1: they Terresa.
Speaker 9: Hi Simony, how are you?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Well thanks, So you're involved with rugby league netball.
Speaker 13: Yeah so I've yeah, so I've got the Dunal Up
Speaker 13: Giants Rugby League club and I'm also triggning over at
Speaker 13: power Rose Netball Club.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 13: So look at just under one thousand members.
Speaker 1: Yep, fifty junior teams in total. And do you you
Speaker 1: would no doubt see kids sport kids and kids sport
Speaker 1: families on your patch.
Speaker 13: Oh, in fact, we really push for it. And I
Speaker 13: noticed you just said that the minister that like quietly
Speaker 13: came into a seat. I only literally found out about
Speaker 13: this probably ten minutes ago that it stopped from five
Speaker 13: hundred to three hundred. So that will, like it will
Speaker 13: impact quite a few of our people, I believe myself includers,
Speaker 13: I have a daughter who has some one diabetes, so
Speaker 13: she's in a health get card and she plays football
Speaker 13: and rugby league and that they're covered all of her fees.
Speaker 13: So now, I mean not that we'd make a decision
Speaker 13: to drop one of those sports, but it just puts
Speaker 13: a lot of pressure on us for three kids all
Speaker 13: playing sports and you know, every penny helps.
Speaker 1: So that's as an administrator, also as a mum, people
Speaker 1: might have to make a choice maybe between a summer
Speaker 1: and a winter sports or EISA.
Speaker 13: Yeah, that's quite unfortunate because we do get a lot
Speaker 13: of people that do that that five hundred, like having
Speaker 13: that sort of amount. I mean, you're looking at nickball
Speaker 13: fees are up in the three hundreds, Rugby league fees
Speaker 13: are over at like about the two point fifty. I mean,
Speaker 13: you've got soccer's up in the sixteen one hundreds, and
Speaker 13: there's just no way families. I mean it's like, you know,
Speaker 13: the persons are getting pulled tighter and tighter. So I
Speaker 13: think this is only going to disadvantage a lot of
Speaker 13: those children when it's so important for them to be
Speaker 13: out there playing sports.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're not. And it's not a lot of dough
Speaker 1: THEREASA compared to a train line or you know some
Speaker 1: of the big infrastructure projects that we see. It's a
Speaker 1: twenty million dollar fund. It's been around since twenty eleven,
Speaker 1: and it's just it's a little mystifying why this has happened.
Speaker 1: In your role as an administrator, are there any other
Speaker 1: funds or any other ways that people can get some help.
Speaker 13: Not really listen, we've got a couple of local politicians.
Speaker 13: If we get into a lot of trouble or not,
Speaker 13: not us as a club, but if we know some
Speaker 13: families that are really struggling, we can write an email
Speaker 13: and you know, some total help them out. But you
Speaker 13: know that's that's like one or two. We're talking hundreds
Speaker 13: of families within our my clubs spread along that will
Speaker 13: be losing out on that money. And you know, most
Speaker 13: of those kids are on health care cards because you
Speaker 13: do actually have to be on a house care cards
Speaker 13: be eligible to receive the kids sports. So you know
Speaker 13: a lot of those people, you know, they're paying for
Speaker 13: medications and all of that sort of stuff for their kids.
Speaker 13: They're on housecare cards, and so that ling along as.
Speaker 5: It is now.
Speaker 13: So yeah, it's only going to get worse for them.
Speaker 1: And it seems more than passing strange that someone like yourself,
Speaker 1: who's a hot, pretty high profile in your own writing
Speaker 1: community sport, didn't know about this.
Speaker 13: So you're question about this and I literally just reposted
Speaker 13: on our pages for the five hundred dollars, so I'll
Speaker 13: have to go and delete that without looking linked idiots.
Speaker 1: Changed, Yeah, change the five from two or three areas.
Speaker 1: Thanks thanks for chatting to us today. Keep up the
Speaker 1: good work. Thank you so much your trees and Newton.
Speaker 1: So she Sports West who used to be the WA
Speaker 1: Sports Federation, hold a set of awards every year. It
Speaker 1: used to be called the anz Head Sports Star of
Speaker 1: the Year but it's still still the big award in
Speaker 1: Perth and Theresa was the Volunteer of the Year last year.
Speaker 1: So she looks after fifty junior teams. Heber kids and
Speaker 1: didn't know about it. A bit of a mystery this one.
Speaker 1: I've got to say, this is a bit of a
Speaker 1: mystery given the sport and rec coup the News Sport
Speaker 1: and Recks Ministers does have kids who play junior sport.
Speaker 1: We've talked to her a fair bit about it, so
Speaker 1: it does seem very weird. It was August last year
Speaker 1: that money went from three to five. This will mean
Speaker 1: I think three to five hundred bucks. This will mean
Speaker 1: some kids will choose, some families will choose. I reckon,
Speaker 1: just play summer sport or just play winter sport, which
Speaker 1: is I've just word it like this. That's a great shame.
Speaker 1: It's a good program Kids Sport one double three eighty
Speaker 1: so yes, no, would you jump on a plane at
Speaker 1: the moments particularly went through the Middle East. Terry of
Speaker 1: mal Lu says, my husband is landing in Doha in
Speaker 1: ten minutes time. Thanks Terry, best of British to you.
Speaker 1: Sue says, no, high sup. Cow says yes, we'll get
Speaker 1: on a plane now and go somewhere nice and warm,
Speaker 1: maybe Asia, get away from this brutal winter, says Cow.
Speaker 1: Thank you, cal So you know hi mate. My daughter
Speaker 1: flew to Albania from Sri Lanka through Doha two days ago.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Zino and Chris said I just received anyone
Speaker 1: flying condas should go to the QUANDUS website on flight schedules, diversions,
Speaker 1: et cetera. Thank you. Mark says sorry, that was Chris.
Speaker 1: Thanks Chris. Mark says yes, I'm planning on traveling to
Speaker 1: Zambia at Christmas time, hopefully things will be better by then.
Speaker 1: And Steven says yes I would fly. Thanks for your
Speaker 1: thoughts today. Love to hear from you. And if you
Speaker 1: are a kids Sport president, kids sport family, even a
Speaker 1: kid who played sport because the kid's sports now grown up,
Speaker 1: give us a call one Level three eight to eighty
Speaker 1: two by Tony morning Bowie.
Speaker 14: You know the government they made some strange decisions. They
Speaker 14: spent thirty million dollars for BHP with Buyolan, which is
Speaker 14: now a shed in the Quanana strip that hasn't had
Speaker 14: anything done to it. That thirty million dollars would have
Speaker 14: paid for these children. And I wonder how much it's
Speaker 14: done because of political donations towards political parties where families
Speaker 14: seem to be hit. You know, is it strange that
Speaker 14: the Cook governments come in and they've just cut everything back.
Speaker 14: You know, I don't know what's going on here, and
Speaker 14: I don't seem to value the families and the kids
Speaker 14: playing sport.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's only twenty million dollars in total. This fun
Speaker 1: made and it's so important. Thank you, Tony. I'm not
Speaker 1: aware of that shed down in Quanana. Yeah, it's you know,
Speaker 1: we're talking community sport broadly. The federal governments and the
Speaker 1: Institute's support look after elite sport, as did the National
Speaker 1: codes government and local government look after community sports right.
Speaker 1: LG's provide the facilities and the state provides money through
Speaker 1: CSRFF and through Kids Sport, So people can play on them.
Speaker 1: That's the idea. The state looks after community sport and
Speaker 1: they've pulled back on this one, which is bizarre. So
Speaker 1: whether that means, you know, whether they've done that so
Speaker 1: more kids have access to it. I think there's been
Speaker 1: mentioned of scouts and guides being part of the program now.
Speaker 1: But you know, in this day and age, being able
Speaker 1: to play for those battle of kids, to be able
Speaker 1: to play two sports, a winter sport in the summer
Speaker 1: sport's pretty important. I order, I would have thought. Sadly
Speaker 1: we saw a fatalitian car got Itch Road in the
Speaker 1: share of Serpentine Jaradah on the last couple of days,
Speaker 1: and it is. It is one of Perth's most dangerous roads.
Speaker 1: Cargot Itch Road goes between Mama John Road and Thomas Road.
Speaker 1: It's got a lot of narrow areas, a lot of bumps,
Speaker 1: little bridges. I think there's nine different spots on car
Speaker 1: Gottage Road that are known to be dangerous. We've talked
Speaker 1: about it a fair bit. One of the most dangerous
Speaker 1: roads in the metropolitan area. Another fatality yesterday on that road.
Speaker 1: We'll go down to SJ in just a moment. Yes, no,
Speaker 1: would you jump on a plane at the moment. I'll
Speaker 1: come back and let you know the result.
Speaker 15: Mitchell Freeway southbound is still very much slow this morning
Speaker 15: from Vincent Street right back to Read Highway, so still
Speaker 15: avoid it if you can. Dealing with a crash on

Speaker 1: can pay for? The Bears don't know, Graham, I was
Speaker 1: okay with the the bears amount bringing an NRL here

Speaker 1: and give way signs without stopping. Thank you, Robert cheers, mate.
Speaker 1: No such thing as a dangerous road, says Stephen of
Speaker 1: North Dan Lup. Hello, mate. The drivers on the road
Speaker 1: that are the danger. People stick to driving safely instead,
Speaker 1: pass on corners and everything and everything will be okay.
Speaker 1: But no dangerous roads. Such a silly statement, Stephen, car
Speaker 1: got Itch mate, thank you for corresponds. Car Gotich Road

Speaker 1: known in local government circles that these roads do exist.
Speaker 1: They are high speed local roads that you can travel
Speaker 1: in excess of eighty ks now on these roads. And
Speaker 1: the shoulders aren't great, the treatments aren't great, the line
Speaker 1: markings aren't greater. Sometimes there's narrowings and little bridges and
Speaker 1: all sorts of things, and Car Gotage Road as about
Speaker 1: nine of those spots. Trish Duggan is the Deputy President
Speaker 1: of the Shire of sj joins us now High Trish.
Speaker 7: Hi Simon, thanks for the call.
Speaker 1: No worries. Sad situation, isn't it?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 7: Absolutely, And firstly, our deeper sympathies to all of those
Speaker 7: that are involved in yesterday accident. Ultimately, there's a family
Speaker 7: and friend group today that are grieving a lost one
Speaker 7: and you know two people who have also been injured
Speaker 7: as well as our local you know, people our local
Speaker 7: community are the first responders. You know, they go through
Speaker 7: a lot with these sorts of accidents as well, so
Speaker 7: my thoughts go to them.
Speaker 1: I've spoken to the boss, I've spoken to Rob Coles
Speaker 1: before about Cargottage Road. It's only getting busy, isn't it.
Speaker 1: The Tonquin Highway extension, the amount of housing in the area,
Speaker 1: the amount of industry in the area is just getting busier.
Speaker 1: And the issue, the safety issue is just not going away,
Speaker 1: is it.
Speaker 7: No, it certainly isn't. Car got Itch Road has been
Speaker 7: one that's been on our radar for some time. We've
Speaker 7: just finished eight million dollars worth of eighth grades to
Speaker 7: an area of Cargottage Road. Unfortunately, that doesn't cover this intersection.
Speaker 7: The intersection of concern is on car Gottage in Gossage
Speaker 7: Road and there is plans for a roundabout to go there.
Speaker 7: That's a four point eight million dollar cost for that
Speaker 7: roundabout and looking at it as much as a priority
Speaker 7: as we can keep in mind of it to build
Speaker 7: that round about, there are all sorts of restrictions. We
Speaker 7: need to have land acquisitions there needs to be service
Speaker 7: relocations both above and below ground. We are looking at
Speaker 7: that being put in place in twenty twenty seven twenty
Speaker 7: eight financial year. Certainly, that's a long way away for
Speaker 7: those families that travel those roads every day, and for
Speaker 7: that reason, you know, we are looking at talking to
Speaker 7: main roads to see what else can be done in
Speaker 7: the short term. If there's things like rumble strips or
Speaker 7: warning signs that there's upcoming stop signs, those sorts of
Speaker 7: things that may just help to make people more aware
Speaker 7: that these intersections are there and we need to be
Speaker 7: very very cognizant of them and making sure that people
Speaker 7: are traveling on our roads safely.
Speaker 1: A Tricia, You're not the only shy that is asking
Speaker 1: for help in this area, politely asking for more money
Speaker 1: from the state. There's only something much of the shot.
Speaker 1: It is your road isn't it's a local road, but
Speaker 1: you do need some more dough from the state for
Speaker 1: roads like car God.
Speaker 7: It's right, yeah, and we're eternally grateful to the state
Speaker 7: government because not the election just gone, but the election
Speaker 7: before that, we were given eighteen million dollars towards our
Speaker 7: local roads and that has had an impact. It has
Speaker 7: had some improvement and in this last election there's been
Speaker 7: seventeen million dollars, so we look forward to working with
Speaker 7: those funds. We have got a lot of our interfections
Speaker 7: and upgrades have already been designed, they're already been planned.
Speaker 7: It's a matter now putting them in place.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Tris, thanks for talking to us today.
Speaker 1: And as we say that, we were a sad day
Speaker 1: yesterday eight thirty in the morning where you know where
Speaker 1: someone who stood should still be with us is not
Speaker 1: and that's a that's a desperately sad situation. Appreciate your
Speaker 1: time today.
Speaker 7: Trish, that's a pleasure, simon.
Speaker 1: Trish Dugan and Deputy President of the Shire of sj
Speaker 1: Serpentine Jaredale. And there are you know, a lot a
Speaker 1: lot of these outer city or outer metro perry urban
Speaker 1: whatever we call them. These shires do have these types
Speaker 1: of roads. They are high speed local roads and they
Speaker 1: time and time again they figure in serious accidents and
Speaker 1: in this case of fatality, one of our listeners has said,
Speaker 1: you know that that is a dangerous intersection, the Gossage
Speaker 1: Road car Gottage Road intersection. The shire should get their
Speaker 1: asses into gear and clear the bushes and the trees
Speaker 1: away from the intersection and put in stop signs, says Rick. Yeah,
Speaker 1: good point, Rick, all of that. All of your comments
Speaker 1: are valid and legitimate, but it's just one of theo
Speaker 1: A high speed lo people can you know, drive in
Speaker 1: excess of eighty ks now on that road and it's dangerous.
Speaker 1: It's not fit for purpose, especially given the extra traffic
Speaker 1: that's heading through that area now with the housing development's
Speaker 1: industrial development. So the sand trucks in the area, big
Speaker 1: trucks which was involved in that praying yesterday, and the
Speaker 1: extensions of Tonquin Highway as well.
Speaker 17: Good Avon ah Hi Simon.
Speaker 18: On the corner of Abernathy Road and Hopkinson Road, there's
Speaker 18: a stop sign on Abernatty Road. That's the main road
Speaker 18: that runs through Byford and the highway. They have at
Speaker 18: least twice a week somebody goes through the rails there
Speaker 18: there's a crash because nobody stops at the stop sign.
Speaker 19: They all roll through.
Speaker 18: You could have a policeman sit there and he'd find
Speaker 18: every second car.
Speaker 20: Yeah, that's how bad.
Speaker 18: And the next street up on the Courtor people have
Speaker 18: died there. There's two or three crosses there.
Speaker 21: The next road.
Speaker 18: There's two or three crosses over the last few years.
Speaker 18: So this is just because people do not stop at
Speaker 18: the stop signs. And the roads are terrible because they're
Speaker 18: all made for farming areas. This has used to be
Speaker 18: a farming area, so you've got acreages here and the
Speaker 18: roads are just so narrow, and the truck my god,
Speaker 18: there's one hundreds of them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, thanks Yvonne. Your point well made about
Speaker 1: driver behavior. We're just getting We're getting a lot of
Speaker 1: correspondence on that. People just need to pay attention to
Speaker 1: slow down, for tell, every now day now driving people
Speaker 1: crazy or driving is getting crazy. Thanks Brian Roads, you know,
Speaker 1: and I think importantly if we just take a breath,
Speaker 1: Heaven's right. These are little farming roads. They narrow, the
Speaker 1: surfaces aren't great, they don't have rumble strips. I got
Speaker 1: which road gets mentioned all the time. Moses said, need
Speaker 1: to get rid of s j Shire emergency give Armada.
Speaker 1: I'm sure that'll achieve, Moses. Thanks for your thoughts. One
Speaker 1: double three eight two four point eight million dollars for
Speaker 1: a roundabouts is Moses the same Moses. I'm assuming there's
Speaker 1: only one Moses. Too much red tape says Moses. Thanks mate,
Speaker 1: We will come back in it at just a moment. Actually, no,
Speaker 1: Jack's phone. We've managed to get hold of Jack as well.
Speaker 1: He had texted us, could.
Speaker 22: They Jack morning train? How are you mate?
Speaker 1: Good mate?
Speaker 22: Look without in car Gottage Road. I think what the
Speaker 22: government needs to do, and it's the most safest obvious
Speaker 22: logical manner in which to address this issue is that
Speaker 22: the government implement a system where anyone who uses car
Speaker 22: Gottage Road can only do so when their vehicle is
Speaker 22: limited to fifty kilometers an hour, and any vehicle capable
Speaker 22: of going faster than fifty kilometers per hour will be
Speaker 22: purchased back by the government, and all users of Cargodige
Speaker 22: Road Mush register on a government portal prior to driving
Speaker 22: on car Gottage Road. The only answer.
Speaker 1: Shane, thanks Jack, Shane. Something I think Jack's joking is
Speaker 1: me the it is a very popular and busy road.
Speaker 1: It's not our run, it's and it's a long It's
Speaker 1: a long road too, goes tom Thomas Road right through
Speaker 1: to Managohn Road, did I Ken.
Speaker 19: How are you now?
Speaker 21: As you just said it goes to Thomas Road. I
Speaker 21: used to train horses just out of the manager at Barrago,
Speaker 21: and when we're going to gloss the park, we used
Speaker 21: to go that way because the freeway in there and
Speaker 21: everything else was.
Speaker 5: Too busy.
Speaker 21: Plus there's no pops on that road and they sitting.
Speaker 5: On the hundred.
Speaker 21: We can turn one hundred and twenty.
Speaker 19: But it goes all the way to.
Speaker 23: To the back of.
Speaker 1: Ravenswood Okay Hotel near Pinjari. Yeah okay, and.
Speaker 21: So you finishes it more or less than dumb there.
Speaker 21: But that's the way we used to go going across
Speaker 21: the park, which is the seat of going up the
Speaker 21: pre way or.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, thanks Ken, cheers. It is a very busy
Speaker 1: road and a long road too, right, So we're not
Speaker 1: going to limit cast to fifty k's now on it
Speaker 1: because and it's a thoroughfare. It's a genuine thoroughfare. One

Speaker 23: It's pretty quiet here this morning. We were on alert
Speaker 23: seventy thirty last night, watch sirens that sort of thing.
Speaker 19: That is.
Speaker 23: I wa'ts that good bar in Bahrain. There was a
Speaker 23: lot of reports coming through that there were missiles. My
Speaker 23: wife and I went up on the roof. Were got
Speaker 23: a villa and a flat roof, so we went up
Speaker 23: on the villa and we're looking out over the coast
Speaker 23: towards I ran that couldn't see anything but a lot
Speaker 23: of flights getting diverted from Goha came into the Bahrain
Speaker 23: last night, both Goha and bar Own airports. A bit
Speaker 23: of a mess, a lot of healing people, that sort
Speaker 23: of thing that I would be appients to be on
Speaker 23: the ground, I reckon.
Speaker 1: Yeah for sure. So when you say you're you're hearing
Speaker 1: stuff on and reading stuff on WhatsApp about what was
Speaker 1: potentially happening, but you couldn't actually see anything from where
Speaker 1: you were, not from the roof.
Speaker 23: All we could see all the planes coming right near
Speaker 23: the coast, not far from the airport, but where about
Speaker 23: I suppose one hundred k's direct line from where we
Speaker 23: lived to Doha, and we couldn't see anything in that direction,
Speaker 23: but pretty dark.
Speaker 1: On holiday ray.
Speaker 23: Now I live over here, just about to to see
Speaker 23: if the bridge is open. There's reports that I work
Speaker 23: in Saudi so that there's reports that the causeway was
Speaker 23: closed last night, So see if I can get to
Speaker 23: work this morning.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, And how's the how's the vibe, how
Speaker 1: are you feeling?
Speaker 19: Well?
Speaker 23: I've put my wife out. She was supposed to fly
Speaker 23: tonight to Doha, so I don't know if that's going
Speaker 23: to happen. She's going to head back to Perth. But
Speaker 23: it's it's okay over here. There's no no dramas. It's
Speaker 23: it's just a precautionary if I get caught in Saudi
Speaker 23: Lot during COVID. I was over there for over eight
Speaker 23: months and she's over here. It's it's a bit of
Speaker 23: a long period to be by yourself.
Speaker 1: And where do you ray Where do you get your
Speaker 1: best and most accurate information from? Is it from for
Speaker 1: the from the company you work for? Where where do
Speaker 1: you get the most up to date info so you
Speaker 1: know what's going on?
Speaker 23: It's it's probably the BBC, which is not always accurate
Speaker 23: as the A d C. I suppose what'sapp you know,
Speaker 23: listening the people. And then there's one guy and he's
Speaker 23: in Goa at the moment, even on his way back
Speaker 23: to back to Queensland last night and he's been on
Speaker 23: there and he was actually listening to it all happened
Speaker 23: last night.
Speaker 3: Yuh.
Speaker 23: He's right at the air boo because he's the new
Speaker 23: ad air bases right next to the airport basically, so
Speaker 23: you get it true what'sapp.
Speaker 21: And that sort of thing.
Speaker 23: Is that watch it because it's.
Speaker 1: The news here in Arabic right casting your mind back
Speaker 1: to the weekend when the US struck in Tehran and
Speaker 1: in Iran at those nuclear facilities. Were you aware of
Speaker 1: that happening then? And could you see anything then?
Speaker 23: Uh, we couldn't see anything. There's little we were aware
Speaker 23: of it. The government puts out a lot of alerts.
Speaker 23: If you've got to, you've got a barrow and prone.
Speaker 23: So my wife we were getting shoulder in place at
Speaker 23: alerts last night, through through what'sapp, through text messages and
Speaker 23: that sort of thing. So yeah, we the government does
Speaker 23: keep us up to date. Yeah, it's Look, the thing is,
Speaker 23: it's pretty calm here, but you just got to be
Speaker 23: at work, just going to make sure you're okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Well, my best of luck to you
Speaker 1: and your wife and your family, and I appreciate you
Speaker 1: having a chat to us today.
Speaker 23: Take care, Hey, Dramas all the best, Ben Simone.
Speaker 1: Mate Ray and Bahrain listening today. Dean Long is the
Speaker 1: CEO of the Australian Travel Industry Association joins us. Now
Speaker 1: get Aden, good to talk to you. Sorry for sorry
Speaker 1: for the delay in getting to you. Just need to
Speaker 1: have a little chat to Ray. And I guess it's
Speaker 1: it's almost a day to day proposition for travelers and
Speaker 1: for expats who are working, isn't it, Dean? What's what
Speaker 1: are you hearing and what's your advice to people listening today?
Speaker 24: Look, there's no doubt we're in a highly disrupted environment.
Speaker 24: I think it's changing, not even day to day, but
Speaker 24: it's almost hour to hour on where we're at. But
Speaker 24: I think, I think if we can just address those
Speaker 24: people that are flying out of perfect night and are
Speaker 24: worried about what's going on with their cat flights or
Speaker 24: their Emirate flights and what that looks like that if
Speaker 24: your flight is canceled, your travel agent or your airline
Speaker 24: will be in contact with you today to reorganize your
Speaker 24: trip or provide you a full cash refund. The worst
Speaker 24: thing you can do as a traveler at the moment
Speaker 24: is make contact with your agent or your airline and
Speaker 24: say I need to know what's going on or I'm
Speaker 24: trying to cancel. Don't cancel your flights. The one thing
Speaker 24: we learned through COVID, if you cancel your flights, you'll
Speaker 24: be in to your terms and conditions of what is
Speaker 24: it a credit or a refund. If an airline cancels
Speaker 24: your flight, it's a full cash refund. What we are
Speaker 24: finding though, is it's changed a lot in the last
Speaker 24: ninety minutes. The airspace is open. The first flight to
Speaker 24: land in the Doha was a flight out of Athens,
Speaker 24: so we are seeing that. But we're a long haul destination,
Speaker 24: so we are going to feel some disruptions for the
Speaker 24: next three days as some of those planes get back
Speaker 24: on to schedule and back into those routines. So keep
Speaker 24: up to date and those updates will continue to go
Speaker 24: through from your agent or the airline.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've doing very good advice, make very practical and yeah,
Speaker 1: just yeah, you're right. We learned from COVID that cancelations
Speaker 1: need your cancelations are not not the way to go right.
Speaker 24: Absolutely, and that's look and I think we've got to
Speaker 24: be We've learned a lot through COVID As an aviation
Speaker 24: and travel ecosystem. We want to be there to support
Speaker 24: everybody that goes through through there. What we are hearing
Speaker 24: a lot from people is is nervousness about traveling through
Speaker 24: the Middle East and how you're going to get stuck somewhere.
Speaker 24: You can be rest assured that the safety that the
Speaker 24: airlines are putting into place, that's the number one priority.
Speaker 24: We want to get people to and from their destinations
Speaker 24: one hundred percent safe, have a great time on the ground.
Speaker 25: And get home.
Speaker 24: So people the airlines are putting safety at the top
Speaker 24: of their priority list as they always do, and what
Speaker 24: that means is is that there might be a little
Speaker 24: bit longer at at airports, so there might be a
Speaker 24: few delays. Make sure your phone is charged up, make
Speaker 24: sure you've got a few lollies and get through. And
Speaker 24: if you are traveling, just be conscious that it is
Speaker 24: a highly disrupted environment at the moment, but everyone's doing
Speaker 24: their best.
Speaker 1: Yep right, Dean, thank you for chatting to us here
Speaker 1: in Perth. Jeers mate, great to be with you. Thank you.
Speaker 1: Dean Along, the CEO of Australian Travel Industry Association. Would
Speaker 1: you jump on a plane at the moment? The yes
Speaker 1: is a sixteen, the nose are eight and a lot
Speaker 1: of correspondents still coming in but need to talk about
Speaker 1: on the show Parky will join us after ten o'clock.
Speaker 1: Early Days as a Copper trouble in Paradise, trouble out
Speaker 1: in Labourton and Parky was there at ground zero. We'll
Speaker 1: talk to Parky after ten. Lots of correspondents coming in
Speaker 1: on kids Sport, lots of correspondents coming in on car
Speaker 1: Gotage Road. We will get to that after the news.
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening in. It's three and a half minutes
Speaker 1: to ten o'clock. Now Tips is a semesters could I tips?
Speaker 1: Tips is from rock O from Rockingham. I work in construction.
Speaker 1: I drive up and down car Gottich Road at Hopkinson
Speaker 1: Road most of the day. I don't get see sick
Speaker 1: out in the boat, but I might need to start
Speaker 1: taking quells from bouncing through the chop on these on
Speaker 1: both these roads all day banks Tips, Yeah, that's the issue. Hey,
Speaker 1: the surface. A bit more correspondence on Car got Its Road,
Speaker 1: which we'll get to you after ten o'clock. Dave Parkinson
Speaker 1: will join us after ten our very popular True Detective segment.
Speaker 1: We Parky got a plate all the way through according
Speaker 1: to our listeners. Thanks for listening in. Just before we
Speaker 1: get to parking, a couple of bits of correspondence on
Speaker 1: some of our issues of this morning, particularly on car
Speaker 1: got Itch Row through the shire of Serventine and Jarondale.
Speaker 1: I've I'm of the view that it's a dangerous bit
Speaker 1: of road and some of our listeners say, well what
Speaker 1: about driver behavior? And I appreciate your thoughts. Jasper says,
Speaker 1: it's ninety on that stretch of car got Itch and
Speaker 1: like previously stated, the trees really obstruct your view. I
Speaker 1: travel through their regular andess stop and look ten times
Speaker 1: each way before going through. But I can't believe that
Speaker 1: it isn't even a stop sign, it's only a give way.
Speaker 1: I've seen so many close calls and a few crashes.
Speaker 1: There's so many semis on the road, like you said,
Speaker 1: with all the land developed around that. I've almost been
Speaker 1: hit by a semi trying to avoid an accent when
Speaker 1: someone pulled out in front of them. Had to drive
Speaker 1: off the road to avoid it, says Jasper. Thank you, Jasper,
Speaker 1: appreciate that lots lots of correspondence on this particular bit
Speaker 1: of row. Finish the Tonquin Highway extension and that will
Speaker 1: sob a few of the car Gottage Road issues, says
Speaker 1: another one of our listeners and Brandan having only driven
Speaker 1: on area south of Manajong Road. They've dropped some surrounding
Speaker 1: parallel roads to fifty, which is way too slow. So
Speaker 1: the traffic will increase on car Gottage now because the
Speaker 1: speed limit is double Thanks Brendan. And I'm saying all
Speaker 1: of this in light of the fact that there was
Speaker 1: a fatality there yesterday. And the road continues to be,
Speaker 1: in my view, continues to operate in a dangerous fashion.
Speaker 1: More traffic, more industrial development, more housing development, more traffic
Speaker 1: through the area, and the surfaces is up and down.
Speaker 1: There are a lot of narrow areas, there's a little
Speaker 1: couple little bridges, there's some stop signs, and there's vegetation
Speaker 1: which limits visibility. Will continue to stay on that. And
Speaker 1: if you have any thoughts on kids sports, so the
Speaker 1: government've dropped the kids sport voucher amount from five hundred
Speaker 1: to three hundred bucks to save twenty million dollars over
Speaker 1: four years, according to the reports in our paper today.
Speaker 1: And we know that will mean that will mean some
Speaker 1: Battler families and Battler kids will play one sport if any.
Speaker 1: It's been an incredibly successful program. One hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: thousand kids been involved since twenty eleven. It's a ripping program.
Speaker 1: It's a little bit mind boggling as to why the
Speaker 1: government will pull back on a program like this when
Speaker 1: cost of living is such an issue for battling families.
Speaker 1: Would you jump on a plane at the moment the
Speaker 1: yeses are eighteen and the nose are ten. Time for
Speaker 1: this day, Parky Parkinson, veteran detective Dignitary Protection Street Copper.
Speaker 1: All everything's joins us now high Parky.
Speaker 5: Morning, Simon, how are you? I'm very very well. Yes,
Speaker 5: I had a bit of a scale last year with
Speaker 5: the Melonimer and I just had my three monthly check
Speaker 5: up this morning and I'm all good. So the party's
Speaker 5: ready to go.
Speaker 17: Watch out, I mate.
Speaker 1: It was nineteen seventy six when you did graduate from
Speaker 1: the Mainland's Police Academy January, and then November seventy eight
Speaker 1: you find yourself out in the bush. Tell us about
Speaker 1: the work remote Warburton Rangers Aboriginal community.
Speaker 5: Yes, well, Warburton Rangers. The community back in those days
Speaker 5: was pretty basic. A stop off point obviously on the
Speaker 5: Great Central Road for travel, which was totally unsealed for
Speaker 5: travelers going through there, plus there was also a mission
Speaker 5: and indigenous community, and the significant part about that was
Speaker 5: the majority of the inhabitants were pure traditional Desert Aboriginals.
Speaker 5: They quite quite magnificent, actually, the self proclaimed desert Warriors,
Speaker 5: and none of us have argued with that, and I'm
Speaker 5: not joking because they were absolutely magnificent people. And how
Speaker 5: they survived and got on out there still boggles my
Speaker 5: mind to this day. It's just incredible. You know, us
Speaker 5: in our four worl drivers of our everything we've got,
Speaker 5: and these bands of people, you know, just keep ruskin
Speaker 5: and spear and a warmer and another and another, and
Speaker 5: they survived out there. It was just just absolutely amazing.
Speaker 1: So you go out in November there's been a barn
Speaker 1: and a bloke as has been stabbed parking.
Speaker 5: Yeah, what happened Simon, It was about about three weeks.
Speaker 5: I got married on the sixteenth of December, so it
Speaker 5: was about I was just reminded by the boss then
Speaker 5: that it was two weeks before we got married. What
Speaker 5: happened there was at the community a bit of a
Speaker 5: fight between two fellas and one got stabbed behind the
Speaker 5: knee with the starf ticket and it caused a major
Speaker 5: trauam or two. He he bled out and died and
Speaker 5: the body was transferred to the local hospital. Now keep
Speaker 5: in mind there was no police out there. There was
Speaker 5: just a remote facility with administrators, nurses and a small
Speaker 5: first aid post, plus a couple of school teachers. And
Speaker 5: what happened is that after a couple of hours the
Speaker 5: body was stolen from the hospital by group of elders.
Speaker 5: And I think that is because this person was a
Speaker 5: very respected elder himself, and I would be absolutely completely
Speaker 5: untrue to say that I understood the traditions as to why.
Speaker 5: But obviously police were contacted in Laborton and they made
Speaker 5: contact with the community and they were told quite bluntly
Speaker 5: that no police were allowed out there and that if
Speaker 5: there was any attempt by police to recover the body,
Speaker 5: we were police attending police would be in very very
Speaker 5: serious trouble. And there were significant death threats. So that
Speaker 5: caused a major quandary for the district superintendent in cal
Speaker 5: Gurley and ourselves.
Speaker 1: So that ye, after a couple of days you go,
Speaker 1: you and a few others go up there.
Speaker 5: Well we did. They send a detective senior sergeant up
Speaker 5: from Perth and myself and another detective from Kalgouley and
Speaker 5: keep in mind, on my ear the academy for probably
Speaker 5: just under two years, and the way we go when
Speaker 5: we get to Warburton Rangers at about midnight and we'll
Speaker 5: put in the compound overnight, ig at up about four
Speaker 5: o'clock in the morning, just to have a bit of
Speaker 5: a look, and was confronted with about forty to fifty
Speaker 5: armed Desert warriors as it were, and they were very
Speaker 5: very angry about the fact that we were there.
Speaker 1: So they're mainly trying to stop you from finding the body,
Speaker 1: are they?
Speaker 5: Yeah, they were. They had no issues with us looking
Speaker 5: for the offender. They had no problem because this guy
Speaker 5: wasn't from me, he was from the Blackstone Range community.
Speaker 5: They had no issues there. But we were very, very
Speaker 5: bluntly told to stay away.
Speaker 16: It is.
Speaker 5: Their secret men's business and that we would be desecrating
Speaker 5: all their traditions and they were prepared to fight to
Speaker 5: the hilt for that.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 5: So it was you know, I must say, you know,
Speaker 5: sometimes I see ad a bit blase on your show
Speaker 5: and others, but scared is not the word. But they're
Speaker 5: extremely apprehensive and quite simply if an old casion that
Speaker 5: happens on them, Well, we would not have we would
Speaker 5: not have got out of that very well at all. Yeah,
Speaker 5: you're in strife. We're in strite, mate.
Speaker 25: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So you've got a little team there. You're in
Speaker 1: the compound and you've got thirty or forty fellas angry
Speaker 1: and menacing. But you sort of were able to proplicate
Speaker 1: the elders at the time. And still you've got this
Speaker 1: issue if you're looking for a body and an offender.
Speaker 5: Exactly right on. So what we did were told of
Speaker 5: the offender had headed up towards the Blackstone Rangers. So
Speaker 5: Detective Senior Sergeant Bob Gray. Sadly Bobby passed away a
Speaker 5: few years back. He was very consolable because me being
Speaker 5: the junior kid there, you would have thought that my
Speaker 5: thoughts meant nothing, But I had the specific bush craft
Speaker 5: and whatever, and plus I could converse a little bit.
Speaker 5: So we actually told the elders at this point in
Speaker 5: time that we want to be offender. So we headed
Speaker 5: off towards the Blackstone Ranges and yeah, everything could go
Speaker 5: wrong did go wrong. We're driving along and I said
Speaker 5: to the said to the other two guys, I said, mate,
Speaker 5: we're going to look for the high ground and I said,
Speaker 5: I said, why is that? And I said, we'll have
Speaker 5: a look up ahead. And it was like the opening
Speaker 5: scene of a Harry Potter movie, you know, just thunder
Speaker 5: lightning and clouds coming towards them. It was well, it
Speaker 5: was too mate, because out there there's just no in between,
Speaker 5: you know. And we were fortunate again that I'd provisioned
Speaker 5: the vehicle so I was always had plenty of water,
Speaker 5: not that we needed, but there food and whatever. So
Speaker 5: we got the high ground and by boy, it just
Speaker 5: absolutely bucketed down and we were stranded on this ridge
Speaker 5: for about twenty four to thirty hours in the two
Speaker 5: way radio quite communications now just very hopeless. So yeah,
Speaker 5: yeah we were there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Parky, will take a break. We'll come back and
Speaker 1: find out how this ends, because it involves, yes, you
Speaker 1: had those bush skills which you had picked up prior
Speaker 1: to being in the police, but also some of your
Speaker 1: famous negotiation skills were required. We'll come back and find
Speaker 1: out how this all ended. Parking and his mates are
Speaker 1: looking for an offender and they're looking for a body
Speaker 1: out into in the remote Woman Ranger stay listening. Chat
Speaker 1: continues with Parky with Dave Parkinson's nineteen seventy eight park
Speaker 1: He's out in the bush with a little team. They
Speaker 1: are chase looking for a body, and they're looking for
Speaker 1: an offender, and there's a fair bit going on, and
Speaker 1: as only park he can, he starts talking to the
Speaker 1: locals and one thing leads to another. Day.
Speaker 5: Yeah, what happened, Simon, It was pretty good. Actually, there's
Speaker 5: a young fella there that I knew reasonably well, and
Speaker 5: I eventually got him around to not actually telling me
Speaker 5: where the body was, but pointing back down the Haverton Road,
Speaker 5: and he just said that way and took off. So
Speaker 5: what we did is we because we'd come in at dark,
Speaker 5: we hadn't seen any tracks off the side of the
Speaker 5: main road. So I said to the guys, look, let's
Speaker 5: head out there and see what we can see. So
Speaker 5: we went out about twenty thirty k's. We're in some
Speaker 5: real sandhill country and I noticed some vehicle tracks heading
Speaker 5: off into the sand hills. So we decided that there's
Speaker 5: too dangerous to take the vehicle in. We didn't know
Speaker 5: it was there, so I said that I would go
Speaker 5: in and see what I could find. So basically I
Speaker 5: walked on top of spin effects and whatever, so I
Speaker 5: wouldn't leave any tracks. And after about three ks I
Speaker 5: come to a mold of clearing and there was obviously
Speaker 5: obviously a grave. There was a big mounds of spin
Speaker 5: effects that have been dug up, and there were symbols
Speaker 5: and whatever on there. So I went back and said
Speaker 5: to the two guys, look, I'm very confident I found it.
Speaker 5: So the boss Bob said, right, let's head back to
Speaker 5: Warburton and we'll just pretend that nothing's happening, which we did,
Speaker 5: even organized a plane to come to Warburton. Now, keeping
Speaker 5: mind slim, and this is groundbreaking, this is stuff that's
Speaker 5: never been done before. What happened is that we managed
Speaker 5: to convince a local GP in Calgoley to hop on
Speaker 5: the plane with another detective sergeant and they landed at Warburton.
Speaker 5: We made the pretext of packing up and heading back
Speaker 5: to cal Goley, and away we went.
Speaker 1: And so you still don't want the local bloods to
Speaker 1: know you found it.
Speaker 5: No way, We've been warned before the young fellow told
Speaker 5: me which way to go. We've been warned there was
Speaker 5: and these people had firearms on them in the vehicles
Speaker 5: and they made a big display of having them, so
Speaker 5: you know, it was it was a serious series threat.
Speaker 5: So anyhow, what happened when I left the guys to
Speaker 5: the grave site. The boss said, look, mate, we've got
Speaker 5: to We've got to get the deceased out of that grave.
Speaker 5: So that was my job, and it was interesting the
Speaker 5: way things were done. The grave was dug and the
Speaker 5: body was placed in grave and then they packed it
Speaker 5: like a wall bar with spin efects because part of
Speaker 5: their tradition is that after twelve months, the kadachi men
Speaker 5: or the medicine men, they dig the body up again
Speaker 5: and examine and they rebury it in the traditional way.
Speaker 17: Yeah okay, so yeah it's end.
Speaker 5: This made me senses with a lot of people, but
Speaker 5: you know, as it was, this is how it happened
Speaker 5: in those days and had to be done for a
Speaker 5: successful prosecution.
Speaker 1: So so and it's still it's a scene of a
Speaker 1: crime and you're you're there, but you still don't want
Speaker 1: the locals to know you're there, So you're you're there
Speaker 1: packing your backs that these guys are going to come
Speaker 1: out and find you because you're still outnumbered and they
Speaker 1: still got the guns.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, we actually had one guy on. You know,
Speaker 5: there's a bit of a sent hill there on there
Speaker 5: to look for dust and vehicle sounds and whatever. So anyhow,
Speaker 5: it was about seven foot deep the hole and by
Speaker 5: the time I got to the bottom, I'm in the
Speaker 5: hole and I'm six foot one, and I managed to
Speaker 5: lift this poor fellow out and they helped me out
Speaker 5: of the grave, and then the doctor did a grave
Speaker 5: side post mortem which we photographed and took evidence, and
Speaker 5: then I must distressed in everyone up there. It was
Speaker 5: done very respectively. It was you know, it was not
Speaker 5: taken lightly and respect great respect was played to the deceased.
Speaker 5: I then wrapped him up and we loaded him down
Speaker 5: the hole and placed him exactly as he was, and
Speaker 5: then we tend to spinifects down and we managed to
Speaker 5: and get back to Warburt and drop the two guys off,
Speaker 5: the doctor and Bob Gray and another sorry three and
Speaker 5: then we took off to Laborton, And from Laborton we
Speaker 5: were told that they discovered that we had interfered with
Speaker 5: the with the grave and it got very very heir
Speaker 5: in labor and for a few days after that, but
Speaker 5: many to get back ABC Radio. Mate, year you've got
Speaker 5: all A B C. Obviously he knew something we was
Speaker 5: going on, spoke at the administrator and basically the ministrator
Speaker 5: out there looking for the body now. And because these
Speaker 5: desert warriors are remote, they loved listening to the A
Speaker 5: B C. Out there back in those days because I
Speaker 5: think from Ford or six was the Country and Western House,
Speaker 5: so they loved that and there it comes on the news.
Speaker 5: But so we were lucky we managed to get into
Speaker 5: lay it and there was a bit of trouble there,
Speaker 5: but we got back to Calgurley. Then a couple of
Speaker 5: weeks later the offender he was aprehended in the Northern
Speaker 5: Territory and Bob Gray Flute of Northern Territory and extradided
Speaker 5: him back to w A. He was charged with murder.
Speaker 5: And the interesting thing was Simon. So I don't think
Speaker 5: this has happened before. An apologies to those out there
Speaker 5: if it has our evidence, because we filmed it. And
Speaker 5: when I say film, no talking about a box brownie
Speaker 5: and apollaroid, but not talking about the technology we have now.
Speaker 5: But we filmed every bit from the time I started begging,
Speaker 5: the time I got down to the bottom, the way
Speaker 5: the body was brought out laid out how the investigation
Speaker 5: was conducted by the doctor and how its placed back
Speaker 5: and everything like that. And the good part it was
Speaker 5: accepted even by the defense vs. The abridge on police, sorry,
Speaker 5: the aborige and all legal service accepted that evidence. And
Speaker 5: you know, we were complimented for the way we did
Speaker 5: our business here because I mean, that's very easy. It's
Speaker 5: very easy to you know, to not treat that particular
Speaker 5: scene with the respect as dun.
Speaker 1: Was there any and I think any reprisals, recurronations around
Speaker 1: the cultural stuff parking.
Speaker 5: And there was a bit simon. There was a little
Speaker 5: bit because what happened for those who will remember three
Speaker 5: years before, in late December seventy four early January seventy five,
Speaker 5: there was a massive big let's call it a Blue
Speaker 5: parties terms in labor and at Skull Creek, which resulted
Speaker 5: in the Royal Commission, and both sides of both sides,
Speaker 5: police government and indigenous side didn't come out of it
Speaker 5: too well. And there's a number of reasons for that.
Speaker 5: There's understanding, there's customs, the bane and the destruction of
Speaker 5: the communities set out there alcohol, then petrol and then glue.
Speaker 5: So we went out there only less than three years
Speaker 5: after all that unrest and whatever, and I must pay
Speaker 5: tribute to the coppers in remote areas like Labor and Leonora,
Speaker 5: Halls Creek, Pitstroy, all these places back in those days.
Speaker 5: That was by the seeding of pants stuff and that
Speaker 5: was the decline in my view. I'll probably get a
Speaker 5: lot of arguments over that. That was the decline of
Speaker 5: some of these magnificent people out in those communities and
Speaker 5: towns where the demon drink and the as I said,
Speaker 5: the glue sticking, and particularly at Warburton petrol snipping. We
Speaker 5: lost a lot of good young desert warriors out the
Speaker 5: through that over the years. So yeah, there were reprisals.
Speaker 5: There were reprisals, mate, and it was a very very
Speaker 5: very interesting and probably yeah, it'll never happen again due
Speaker 5: to technology. It happened then and it was a very
Speaker 5: very very trying time.
Speaker 1: I continue, Big four days, Big four days in the
Speaker 1: light Labor.
Speaker 5: It was. It was, yeah, it was. Even my wife's
Speaker 5: wife is the other day. You know, I don't know
Speaker 5: if she's joking or not. She said, you know, they
Speaker 5: should have left your forty eight years she said. Sometimes
Speaker 5: she said, what if I always had these What if
Speaker 5: I thought I was a decent black, but I thought
Speaker 5: I had married.
Speaker 1: In that whole.
Speaker 5: That's right, you know. You know something said in jest.
Speaker 23: Yes.
Speaker 1: All that's yeah, Jesus, that's it says a bit about
Speaker 1: Galen about you, I think. Hey, mate, thanks for the chat,
Speaker 1: look forward to changing as always fascinating, amazing at a
Speaker 1: different time and well dome to you mate, Thank you

Speaker 1: they were there, but following through with what was then
Speaker 1: accepted police procedures of the day. Amazing. He's amazing, Blake,
Speaker 1: isn't he. He'll be back in a fortnight's time with
Speaker 1: True Detective. Thanks for listening and it is help us

Speaker 1: on the kids, sport vouchers, car Gottitch Road, of the
Speaker 1: situation in the Middle East. We're keeping a tally would

Speaker 1: the knows are twelve. Just to let you know, Minister
Speaker 1: Safiote was out and about today's schedule to address the
Speaker 1: media with the WWE event come up at eight thirty
Speaker 1: at Crown, but she has canceled the press conference today.
Speaker 1: We're not completely sure why. Twenty nine minutes to eleven.
Speaker 1: We spoke about containers for change and recycling the other
Speaker 1: day and as part of that chat we've become aware
Speaker 1: there's a massive tire recycling facility north of Perth. Stay listening.
Speaker 15: Report of a street light down Tonkin Highway northbound up
Speaker 15: to q Dol Road in qut Our. The left Liane
Speaker 15: has been closed by police at this time in the
Speaker 15: ambulance is there.
Speaker 12: Traffic is heavy on approach.
Speaker 15: Exercise extreme caution if traveling through the area and as
Speaker 15: reported earlier, still dealing with this crash. Grady's in the
Speaker 15: Highway west bounder Darlington Road in Darlington. The leftlane has
Speaker 15: been closed by the Incident Response Team, Emergency services on
Speaker 15: site and.
Speaker 12: Traffic very heavy on approach back to Scott Street. I'm
Speaker 12: seb Clok on Perth Traffic Leader six PR.
Speaker 1: Talked about product stewardship on the show last week. When
Speaker 1: we're talking about containers for change, A lot of our
Speaker 1: listeners do use a C for sea. They love it
Speaker 1: win win for families, kids, charities and for the environment.
Speaker 1: And one of the chats we had in there was
Speaker 1: about product stewardships, So things like mattresses, tires, lithium batches
Speaker 1: and the like, should we pay a bit more for
Speaker 1: them at point of sale so they're properly recycled the
Speaker 1: end of life, we'll go to a major tie of
Speaker 1: reciting facility in person North. In just a moment on
Speaker 1: the show, one double three E two is our phone number, Mitch,
Speaker 1: Kids Sport, What do you think?
Speaker 5: You know?
Speaker 26: Buy just annoys me because you know we need kids
Speaker 26: to play sport and get off their devices and stuff.
Speaker 26: And we've got the Bullbrook Place up there with five
Speaker 26: hundred beds sitting there empty and they just throw money
Speaker 26: into that to maintain it. And then we're going to
Speaker 26: get money to have kids run around doing what they
Speaker 26: want to do, you know, and parents are struggling. It
Speaker 26: just dis annoys me.
Speaker 1: Essel about the priority of government spending Mitch.
Speaker 26: Yeah, absolutely, man. I mean, like you know that thing
Speaker 26: sitting up there with five hundred beds and now I
Speaker 26: was living in up We got homeless, We got all this,
Speaker 26: and I think it's costen was at thirty thousand dollars
Speaker 26: a day or a week or something like that to
Speaker 26: maintainer with security, ours and that. And then but you know,
Speaker 26: in fifteen twenty years time, you know, if kids playing
Speaker 26: sport whatever else because parents can't afford it. You know,
Speaker 26: where do IFL players come from? Where do our soccer
Speaker 26: players come from? You know what I mean? And it's
Speaker 26: great for kids. You know when you drive bass and
Speaker 26: see all these kids out there doing ice kick and
Speaker 26: all this other stuff, that's fantastic to see. You know. Yeah,
Speaker 26: the government spending just me just just annoys me.
Speaker 5: Like you know, obviously with the.
Speaker 26: Roads and you know there's well known boies. Yeah, you
Speaker 26: know that that thing sitting up there like a ghost town.
Speaker 26: It just just frustrating, and you know, we want wanted
Speaker 26: kids to play sport and whatever else. And you know
Speaker 26: obesity and all that sort of stuff, and then there's
Speaker 26: money at that thing.
Speaker 1: It is mystifying mate, no doubt. It's an incredibly successful program,
Speaker 1: has been around since twenty eleven and it's it is
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's not a it's not a great look.
Speaker 1: I've got to say after the after the budget, when
Speaker 1: we've got a net debt but an operating surplus. Thanks
Speaker 1: Mitch in the running for quarter that I really appreciate
Speaker 1: your time. As I say, we spoke about product stewardship
Speaker 1: and tires. Luck came into the conversation last week. I
Speaker 1: had no idea there's a major tire recycling state of
Speaker 1: the artifacility up at Nearer Buppet's part of the Wider
Speaker 1: Committee group Lee Committee, as a managing director at CTS Tire
Speaker 1: Recycling joins us.
Speaker 17: Now, good a Lee Simon, how are you?
Speaker 1: Yeah, good mate. So this was a fact. This was
Speaker 1: just a tire business, wasn't It started at eighty four
Speaker 1: supplier of tires. But over the years you've turned your
Speaker 1: mind to recycling, particularly for major fleet vehicles.
Speaker 23: Yeah.
Speaker 27: Look, our story started. We used to once upon a
Speaker 27: time import tires in the early eighties and as time
Speaker 27: has transpired, we've gone from selling tires to supplying them,
Speaker 27: repairing them and servicing them throughout their life, and more
Speaker 27: recently the natural progression has been to recite those ties.
Speaker 1: Yeah, amazing. Hey, so with the and I guess it's
Speaker 1: a it's a there's no shortage of tires that need
Speaker 1: to be either recycled or properly recycled so that don't
Speaker 1: en up in landfill.
Speaker 27: I guess absolutely. I think as a society we probably
Speaker 27: need to look again at what we actually think is waste,
Speaker 27: and often within those within those years tires, there's a
Speaker 27: commodity that we can recycle and reuse. And in our case,
Speaker 27: we're going to start re manufacturing some rubber products from
Speaker 27: those years tires and giving them a second and third life.
Speaker 1: Have you got capacity there, Lee? How big is your place?
Speaker 27: We've got a fairly large scale site. We can process
Speaker 27: up to sixty thousand tons of end of life tires,
Speaker 27: which is quite a material amount.
Speaker 1: Yeah, over what period?
Speaker 27: Well that's sort of our annual nameplace capacity.
Speaker 1: In sixty thousand? Wow? Is it every day tires? Like
Speaker 1: I've gone mine? Monda or are you talking to a
Speaker 1: big hallpack North?
Speaker 27: We're really fortunate. We've taken some of our learning from
Speaker 27: from the tire industry and apply them to this project.
Speaker 27: We can recycle all sized tires from your small lawn
Speaker 27: and garden tires right through to the world's largest sixty
Speaker 27: three inch rim diamond of mining ties that we've see
Speaker 27: in the mind sights.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's incredible. Is it a what's the sort
Speaker 1: of the process itself? How does it work? Is it?
Speaker 1: Is it labor intensive, power intensative intensive? How does that?
Speaker 1: What does it actually look like on site?
Speaker 27: Well, we have we have effectively a shredding operation where
Speaker 27: we shred the tires down and get to a to
Speaker 27: a powder, a granulate that we use for other products
Speaker 27: and gets.
Speaker 5: Used in some.
Speaker 27: Road reservice and ash fhalt applications, or we make it
Speaker 27: into some high value matting and acoustic underlay and things
Speaker 27: like that, and we extract the steel which gets immediately
Speaker 27: recycled and reused high tensile steel.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, Well, I am aware that it is used
Speaker 1: in road services because I've had a bit of local governments.
Speaker 1: Is it called crumb crumbed?
Speaker 27: Yeah, crumb or granulate gets gets mixed in with the
Speaker 27: ashphalt and as a bit of a binder substitute and
Speaker 27: then gets either sprayed or laid on the roads. Yes,
Speaker 27: there's the top coat provides a better, longer lasting product
Speaker 27: and it's better rope. That's good use of.
Speaker 1: The product for sure. And playgrounds and the like as well.
Speaker 27: Yeah, playground soft full flooring, some sort of equine surfacing,
Speaker 27: gym matting, acoustic underlay matting. Yeah, a whole range of
Speaker 27: of products that were once made out of virgin rubber
Speaker 27: can now be made out of out of recycle types.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's cool. Talking to Lee Committee, managing director
Speaker 1: of CTS Tire Recycling. They're up up in nearby Lee.
Speaker 1: Is it there other facilities like yours around? Is yours
Speaker 1: a bit of a pioneer set up? Pioneering?
Speaker 27: Look, we've got some other other friends in the industry,
Speaker 27: but we're the only people that can that can manufacture
Speaker 27: and actually turn that commodity into something in Perth and
Speaker 27: made in Western Australia, which is quite exciting when a
Speaker 27: very unique physician there to be able to do that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's cool. How are you funded? So the people
Speaker 1: who provide the ties to you pay a fee and
Speaker 1: then the people who buy product off, you would pay
Speaker 1: a price for that. Is there any government funding coming
Speaker 1: in from the feeds of the state.
Speaker 27: Yeah, that's right, Simon. We've been very fortunate that we've
Speaker 27: had two rounds of grant funding from the state and
Speaker 27: federal governments Recycling Modernization Fund which has been very helpful,
Speaker 27: and the w A state government have been hugely supportive
Speaker 27: in our project. But in order to be viable, yes,
Speaker 27: there is a cost associated with disposal of the waste time,
Speaker 27: and then obviously we make some products that have some
Speaker 27: values for resale at the other.
Speaker 1: End, Lee, what are you? Are you an engineer or
Speaker 1: a chemist? What's your background?
Speaker 5: I'm neither of those.
Speaker 1: I'm a businessman.
Speaker 27: Unfortunately, I'm a tie guy that's managed to get into
Speaker 27: a bit of business management and having a go at
Speaker 27: changing the world here.
Speaker 1: So we all need a tie guy in our life
Speaker 1: or a tie girl in our life. Lead, no doubt
Speaker 1: about it. Amazing that this is in operation and I
Speaker 1: didn't know about it. What did you think? What do
Speaker 1: you think of this notion? Leader? I just us at
Speaker 1: a basic level last week. So Mattress's tires, Lithium batchies,
Speaker 1: for example, are often products that local government talk about
Speaker 1: you know, you need to pay a bit more for
Speaker 1: them at life, at point of sale when you first
Speaker 1: buy them so they can be recycled properly. What do
Speaker 1: you think of that notion of products stewardship.
Speaker 27: Well, Simon, that's very very interesting from our point of view,
Speaker 27: or everyone's point of view. Largely, the consumers are doing
Speaker 27: the right thing. We've got mums and dads and families
Speaker 27: that are paying for tire recycling as part of their
Speaker 27: tire replacement cost if you like, it's embedded in the cost.
Speaker 27: We've got collection and recovery rates that are very high,
Speaker 27: in the high ninety percent. We're doing a wonderful job.
Speaker 27: Everybody's doing the right thing there, and I think that's
Speaker 27: something we should be proud of. But in the larger
Speaker 27: off the road and OTR tithes that we see used
Speaker 27: in agriculture, on the mining sectors, those recovery rates are
Speaker 27: fairly poor. We're sort of in the sort of low
Speaker 27: double digits in terms of recovery those resources, which which
Speaker 27: is where there's an opportunity for us to do better.
Speaker 27: There's thousands of those ties getting buried in pits or
Speaker 27: on the side of farms and and yeah, there's no,
Speaker 27: there's no there's no requirements for some of those miners
Speaker 27: and agricultural people to necessarily do the right thing. No
Speaker 27: one's being forced to recycle those ties.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well slowly changing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had no idea, hay Lee, Really good to
Speaker 1: talk to you. Thanks, makee good luck with it. What's
Speaker 1: the so if my tie guys they would be they
Speaker 1: would know about you, and my ties could end up
Speaker 1: at your joint.
Speaker 27: Absolutely we look forward to giving them a second life
Speaker 27: and turning them into something else.
Speaker 1: On it a road or a playground.
Speaker 27: Absolutely sporting field moment.
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, thanks Lee, Really good to chat here.
Speaker 27: Cheers, Thanks Simon, take care.
Speaker 1: Mate, Lee. Comedy tie guy turned businessman. And that's up
Speaker 1: in nearerbup And they're recycling passenger vehicle tires, turning them
Speaker 1: into road services, acoustic underlay, lots of different uses for them,
Speaker 1: which is cool, state and federally supported, but still a
Speaker 1: long way to go with the OTR, the big mining trucks,
Speaker 1: the big farm trucks, the big trucks in general. Interesting, Hey,
Speaker 1: sixteen minutes to eleven, Lee, Comedti Managing director CTS Tie
Speaker 1: recycling back in a moment. Happy to take your thoughts,
Speaker 1: would you So there is a cost associated with your
Speaker 1: tires when you buy new tires. The tire recycling is
Speaker 1: building to the price. Wonder if we need that for mattresses.
Speaker 1: A lot of mattresses dumped around the joint and they
Speaker 1: aren't there in colder sacks and pine plantations and by
Speaker 1: the side of the road. What if we need product
Speaker 1: stewardship for those. You can dump your or drop your
Speaker 1: lithium batteries in your PlayStation console or your vape or
Speaker 1: whatever it is at IGA's woolies and Coal's I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure so those those outlets are there, but you do
Speaker 1: a lot of those do get chucked into bins and
Speaker 1: they of course then end up in the back of
Speaker 1: rubbish trucks and that's why we see one rubbish truck
Speaker 1: fire a week in Australia. Stay listening fifteen to eleven.

Speaker 28: for a tie to break down and landfill? Happy years?
Speaker 28: Not too sure, but my dad used to turn him
Speaker 28: inside out back of the day with the rib on
Speaker 28: them and make hop plan holders out of them.
Speaker 5: Anyone remembers that.
Speaker 28: It's colorful hop plant holders. Yeah, and they lasted for years,
Speaker 28: but they're still lasting.
Speaker 1: That's twenty years ago, you know, yeah, going, well, how
Speaker 1: long has the Springfield ti fi have been going for
Speaker 1: in the Simpsons? That's like, yeah, thirty years, thirty years?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Wow?
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you Jeff? Well, I mate, Yeah, I had
Speaker 1: no idea and I am very aware that there's there's
Speaker 1: been a push to try and you know, for all
Speaker 1: of us to pay a little bit more for a
Speaker 1: mattress or something that's got a lithium battery in it,
Speaker 1: or pay a bit more for a tie. And it
Speaker 1: sounds like the type that has been done with ty.
Speaker 1: It's called product stewardship. So Iran's foreign minister has spoken
Speaker 1: earlier this morning. It says Tayram will stop its attacks
Speaker 1: if Israel stops its air strikes by four am local time.
Speaker 1: So this is from the Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Aragchi.
Speaker 1: So this is the first official remarks by Iran. This
Speaker 1: is on the back of President Donald Trump claiming a
Speaker 1: ceasefire between Iran and Israel. So this was on X
Speaker 1: on Twitter a little bit earlier this morning, and Abbas Aragchi,
Speaker 1: the Iranian Foreign Minister, says, as of now, there is
Speaker 1: no agreement on any ceasefire or cessation of military operations.
Speaker 1: Mister Aragachi has written, provided the Israeli regime stops his
Speaker 1: illegal aggression against the Uranian people, we have no intention
Speaker 1: to continue our response afterwards, So mister Trumps, and it's
Speaker 1: quite a lengthy missive on X from Donald Trump, and
Speaker 1: as we said earlier this morning, reading to that what
Speaker 1: you will, but the Uranians are saying as of now
Speaker 1: there is no agreement on any cease fire or cessation
Speaker 1: of military operations. The Prime Minister of Australia spoke to
Speaker 1: Kieran Gilbert from Sky News earlier this hour. He's on
Speaker 1: the Middle East ceasefire and the latest advice to Australians
Speaker 1: traveling overseas.
Speaker 29: What we hope is that a more secure position, a
Speaker 29: cease fire will ensure that people don't fail the need
Speaker 29: to get to safety. In addition to that, there's been
Speaker 29: major disruption of commercial airlines because of what has happened
Speaker 29: in Qatar, but also disruption to international aviation including not
Speaker 29: just the Middle Eastern hubs but also quant has been
Speaker 29: impacted by this as well. So we say to people
Speaker 29: log on too, smart traveler onto the Australian site to
Speaker 29: make sure safety, of course is the number one priority.
Speaker 29: So airlines quite rightly are taking a precautionary approach.
Speaker 12: And the national terror threat level is that under review.
Speaker 1: Well, even we're here this talk about sleeper cells in
Speaker 1: the US, is this something you'll bringing on.
Speaker 29: It is constantly monitored, but there's been no change in
Speaker 29: the national security alert. We continue to have our national
Speaker 29: security agencies to monitor the situation.
Speaker 1: Bry Mister Anthony Alberanzi speaking to Kieran Gilbert from Sky
Speaker 1: News earlier this hour, would you yes, no poull today?
Speaker 1: Would you jump on a plane at the moment particularly
Speaker 1: was heading through the area of the Middle East. The
Speaker 1: yes is twenty eight and the nose are eighteen. Thanks
Speaker 1: for listening in today. We're It's a story we've covered
Speaker 1: a fair few times here on the on the on
Speaker 1: the station, and here on the on this program and
Speaker 1: on other programs that I've worked on. You know, the
Speaker 1: story about the Victim VET came Doctor k Macintosh's VET
Speaker 1: rooms were targeted by the vegan activists Tash Peterson. The
Speaker 1: latest development is doctor Kay after Tash Peterson was declared
Speaker 1: herself bankrupt. Now that might be the situation for Kay herself.
Speaker 1: So Tash Peterson and her gang, the people that support her,
Speaker 1: are they the gift that keep on bringing They try
Speaker 1: to bring the Victim VET Center to its knees And
Speaker 1: unfortunately that may be the situation. I can't believe it. Actually,
Speaker 1: it's yeah. We'll speak to Kay's dad after eleven o'clock today.
Speaker 1: This is no good. Tash has continually gone after this.
Speaker 1: This is a vet clinic. This is a vet clinic
Speaker 1: looks after sink, animals and people's pets. Tash lives in
Speaker 1: the area. She's seen it, She's decided to target it.
Speaker 1: Film it. Kay was successful in filing for defamation, declares
Speaker 1: herself bankrupt, but her gang continue to target the vet
Speaker 1: by putting in false bookings, fake bookings not turning up,
Speaker 1: and continue to provide bad reviews for them. So a
Speaker 1: little vet center family business in Bicten is about to
Speaker 1: close down because of that stupid woman. We'll come back
Speaker 1: in just a moment. Five minutes to eleven, Brian has
Speaker 1: contacted us from the Honeymoon suburb of Perth Hammersley. Brian says,
Speaker 1: the scrapping of five hundred bucks to three hundred bucks
Speaker 1: the kids sports scrap. I've contacted missus Staffiordi about this.
Speaker 1: A member for freopathetic response or justification. Brendan's weighed on
Speaker 1: my inability to understand things. Brendan says, don't know northp
Speaker 1: currently don't go south either, Rolls not buns, labor and
Speaker 1: liberal stooge. How good are you Shane love it. That's
Speaker 1: pretty good. Brendan, cheers mate. This one from SOF Hello,
Speaker 1: Sof just traveled from Nice in France to Jubai to
Speaker 1: Perth yesterday, total chaos in Nice, flights delayed, Cancil. Feel
Speaker 1: lucky to get back well and so welcome back. I'll
Speaker 1: be going all right. Coming up on the show after
Speaker 1: eleven o'clock. The Victim Vet Clinic is still struggling, is
Speaker 1: still struggling financially after Tash Peterson turned the cross Heirs
Speaker 1: on the Center a couple of years ago. So Tash
Speaker 1: is to skip, declared to sell bankrupt and as a
Speaker 1: result came Macintosh is now is still really struggling if
Speaker 1: you live in the area. If you live in Picton
Speaker 1: Palmyra Melville added as apple Cross, you might already have
Speaker 1: a vet that you were ten down that way. There
Speaker 1: are quite a few of them. But why not give
Speaker 1: the big Convet Clinic a try because they are struggling,
Speaker 1: They've been targeted fake bookings, spad reviews, or because Tash
Speaker 1: drove pass one day and saw something you didn't like.
Speaker 1: One double three eighty two is the phone number. This
Speaker 1: one from Joe good Ah, Joe just driving on the
Speaker 1: Freeway south between Hepburn and Reed. Notice the council will
Speaker 1: just spraying the entire side of the freeway in pink glight.
Speaker 1: So fated. I was still using this answerus chemical in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Once the west leeds will blow in
Speaker 1: straight into all these homes, Joe, I don't know that
Speaker 1: it's the use of its band, is it make and
Speaker 1: buy it at Bunnings and buy it for the household
Speaker 1: and Bunnings to kill your weeze. I don't know that
Speaker 1: it's banned, mate, appreciate your thoughts, so you might have
Speaker 1: some other listeners might have some thoughts on that as well.
Speaker 1: Coming up to eleven o'clock. I'm Simon Beaumont is Perth today.
Speaker 1: Just had some correspondence from one of our listeners concerned
Speaker 1: worried that round up was being used on the side
Speaker 1: of the freeway to reduce vegetation and weeds. Glypho Sate
Speaker 1: just checking its status with some councils. No local council
Speaker 1: in Wa has ever completely permanently banned the use of
Speaker 1: glyphos sate. However, a couple of three councils of implemented
Speaker 1: restriction City South Perth. They don't like glycy sate being
Speaker 1: used around parks and playgrounds. Town of basandeine certain applications
Speaker 1: and they use steam weeding in Basso, especially around sites
Speaker 1: like schools and childcare center. I think some of the
Speaker 1: riverside suburbs don't use glyco Glypho sate and the City
Speaker 1: of Vincent continues to use it for we control cost
Speaker 1: considerations and it's effective. Right, So Glohy state is very effective.
Speaker 1: So thanks Joe for your thoughts. Mate, I appreciate that
Speaker 1: one double three a eighty two. Would you jump on
Speaker 1: a plane at the moment, Donald Trump, the commander in chief,
Speaker 1: is saying, look, there's a twelve hour ceasefire, and the
Speaker 1: arrangings are saying, well, that's news to us. There's no
Speaker 1: cessation of hostilities as far as we're concerned until X,
Speaker 1: Y and Z happens. So it's a Donald Trump imposed
Speaker 1: ceasefire or narrated ceasefire, but it might not necessarily be
Speaker 1: a fact. Would you hop jump on a plane at
Speaker 1: the moment the yes, the thirty and the nose in
Speaker 1: nineteen we've spoken about this a number of times with
Speaker 1: Dr K Macintosh. He's the owner operator the chief vet
Speaker 1: at the Bigdom vet clinic targeted by Tash Peterson and friends.
Speaker 1: A while back, Doctor Kay engaged a lawyer and sued
Speaker 1: Tash for defamation because they filmed their activities in the
Speaker 1: vet center awarded I think it was three hundred thousand
Speaker 1: dollars in the courts. Tash then declared her self bankrupt,
Speaker 1: so no access to the money, and now doctor Kay
Speaker 1: and the victim vet clinic continue to struggle financially. David
Speaker 1: Macintosh is the father of k and joins me now, Hi, David.
Speaker 5: Hi both thanks, no worries.
Speaker 1: It's not great for Kay and the team, is it?
Speaker 19: Unfortunately no, and it's getting worse because every time she
Speaker 19: has to appear in court, the fund, the fees go
Speaker 19: up to the lawyers and no money forthcoming. I need
Speaker 19: to collect her there as well. Cash Peterson and Higgs
Speaker 19: did not bank up themselves. Ka actually have to go
Speaker 19: to court to bank rup them.
Speaker 1: Okay, gotcha, yep, yep, Sure I get the sequence there, Dave.
Speaker 1: On the bottom line, the outcome there is is Kay
Speaker 1: will struggle to get money from Peterson and Higgs.
Speaker 19: Well, the trustees have been checking it and so far
Speaker 19: it looks like all those rush accounts that were there
Speaker 19: during the trial have suddenly gone back to the U yep.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is and we need to be a little
Speaker 1: bit careful about how we describe that. But we you know,
Speaker 1: we were aware from earlier reporting that she did have
Speaker 1: revenue sources and income sources. So we're not quite sure
Speaker 1: what has happened there, David, in the absence of not
Speaker 1: being able to speak to Ka today, how is the
Speaker 1: clinic going? I was aware and talked to her last
Speaker 1: time she'd been targeted, fake bookings, people not turning up
Speaker 1: bad reviews from Tasha's crew. Is that still happening? Do
Speaker 1: you know?
Speaker 19: There are some bad reviews that appear from there there
Speaker 19: every now and then. She seems to be doing well
Speaker 19: at the moment and meeting her targets financially, but this
Speaker 19: debt that she's now got with the lawyers is really
Speaker 19: sitting on her. It's fast approaching half a million dollar dollars.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you know, Tash Tash and the crew moving
Speaker 1: mysterious ways, don't they, David. This has been unrelenting your
Speaker 1: tax on you know, a neighborhood, that clinic, which is
Speaker 1: a you know, let's go back to that that's the
Speaker 1: that's the most gaoling a small neighborhood.
Speaker 19: That clinic owner operated with one extra bed there and
Speaker 19: they just can't afford to have an overhead of half
Speaker 19: a million dollars there.
Speaker 1: David, if you had your time again, and if Kay
Speaker 1: had her time again, which she may be, not take
Speaker 1: action against Tash and he didn't.
Speaker 19: Want to in the first place. She was basically persuaded
Speaker 19: as to do so, right by who, by her former husband.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, So that's that's another another part of
Speaker 1: the of the issue, isn't it?
Speaker 19: It is unfortunately is here?
Speaker 1: David? I mean, I know you reached out to the
Speaker 1: program you can keen to get more coverage of this issue,
Speaker 1: and we have always done our part where we could.
Speaker 1: It's a yes, it's an awful situation. I used to
Speaker 1: live close to that vet clinic mate, and I know
Speaker 1: the area really well. It's you know, she's just driven
Speaker 1: past it and seen some cash and seeing something she
Speaker 1: didn't like and come back the next day and started
Speaker 1: yelling and carrying on.
Speaker 19: Hey, she did carry on like a poor pie.
Speaker 1: Is it? What can we do?
Speaker 5: David?
Speaker 1: Part of the broadcasting arrangements with us is we can't
Speaker 1: actively source any crowdfunding or any of that kind of thing,
Speaker 1: But what what can our listeners do and what can
Speaker 1: you know, what can we do? What can the community do?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 19: Personally, I would like to see someone like the current
Speaker 19: affair get hold of the issue. I mean, it's it's
Speaker 19: not just Kase that's effective. There two or three other
Speaker 19: people who are going through similar actions at the moment,
Speaker 19: and they're going to end up exactly the same that
Speaker 19: Peterson is going to get away with this time and
Speaker 19: time again, and the people that have taken a court
Speaker 19: are missing out. The only ones benefiting seemed to be
Speaker 19: the lawyers.
Speaker 1: There's no option for Kay's lawyers to reduce the cost.
Speaker 19: Well, we're hoping that's going to happen that even so,
Speaker 19: it's still a lot of money that she's looking at.
Speaker 19: I mean, she was awarded three hundred and twenty eight
Speaker 19: thousand dollars and that barely covered the costs at that date.
Speaker 19: It's going to be worse now because there's been fees
Speaker 19: since that day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, David, sounds like it's a bit going
Speaker 1: on there in the shop. So I'll let you go
Speaker 1: just in case, but we will stay on. We will
Speaker 1: stay on a David, thank you for staying in contact
Speaker 1: with us. If anyone has any ideas. I have got
Speaker 1: a little bit of correspondence coming through in our text line.
Speaker 1: You know, people live in the area, soy, we'll take
Speaker 1: our pets over there and try and support the business
Speaker 1: and that that might be one way to help her through.
Speaker 5: Hey, that is one way.
Speaker 19: But I would just hope that there be someone out
Speaker 19: there that he might be able to help Ka financially.
Speaker 19: Even a smaller amount would help because she is struggling
Speaker 19: to keep the business on a float and it's only
Speaker 19: going to get worse as the fees go up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, David, thank you for looking after and
Speaker 1: thanks for chatting to us on six PR. Dave's gone.
Speaker 1: Dave's gone. He's gone, hasn'ty, Jimmy, he's gone yet? Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, David Macintosh. So Dave doesn't live in Perth.
Speaker 1: Thesek's dad. He's in regular contact with us here at
Speaker 1: the program, So you know, it's all right, it's fair
Speaker 1: and reasonable proper to have a chat about, you know,
Speaker 1: about some of the issues that task goes on about
Speaker 1: about the amount of meat we eat and how we
Speaker 1: you know, how we get to consume meat. What we
Speaker 1: do with the animals themselves, how we look after them,
Speaker 1: and we disposed of them, such, we do such, we
Speaker 1: do eat meat products. But it's not okay to target
Speaker 1: a small vet. It's not okay to target small business
Speaker 1: and you know, bring them to their knees. So so
Speaker 1: a legal action that now sees legal bills around five
Speaker 1: hundred grand. It is the major defamation lawyer in our town,
Speaker 1: of the very famous one, and he and his team
Speaker 1: rightfully have have run up some bills and some costs.
Speaker 30: You know.
Speaker 1: That's that's the way, isn't it. That's that's the business
Speaker 1: of running a defamation legal firm. Small businesses continue to
Speaker 1: struggle with Peterson, forcing their financially in the hound in
Speaker 1: the courts, despite having defamation wins. It's quarter past eleven.
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening in. That's very frustrating, isn't it Just
Speaker 1: keeps getting away with it somehow continues to be able
Speaker 1: to make a living doing what she does. But he's
Speaker 1: able to get a get away with not paying defamation costs. Credible,
Speaker 1: isn't it? Fifteen and a half minutes past eleven. I'm
Speaker 1: Simon Beaumont, would you jump on a plane at the moment.
Speaker 1: The yeses are thirty in the nose of nineteen. Thanks
Speaker 1: for listening, David from Como says Hi Simon, how can
Speaker 1: we save the BIGDM vet Clinic? Can all the listeners
Speaker 1: move all their pets to them? I will, I got
Speaker 1: a vet. I go to a vet in South Perth,
Speaker 1: but we'll move. Maybe we have a code so everybody
Speaker 1: knows the bookings are legitimate. Thanks Dave. That's nice if
Speaker 1: you made it. Yeh. Look, it's entirely up to you,
Speaker 1: of course. But up on the hill there in Bigton
Speaker 1: where the BIGDOM Vet Center is, there's a nice little
Speaker 1: it used to be nice cafe there called Little Stove. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's Kay and another VET and a little team that'll
Speaker 1: operate out of that nice little family and family business
Speaker 1: one double three A eighty two. Would you jump on
Speaker 1: a plane at the moment? The yeses are thirty one
Speaker 1: the nos in nineteen kid A.
Speaker 31: Sue Hi sonon, Hello, se, how are you sorry?
Speaker 1: Very well?
Speaker 32: Just bringing up about the kids sport. Personally, I don't
Speaker 32: have any children, but you know, from someone who's played
Speaker 32: sport my whole life, it just infuriates me that they're
Speaker 32: trying to save twenty million dollars by cutting SI sport
Speaker 32: to so many kids that are vulnerable when over the
Speaker 32: if they look over the course of the next five
Speaker 32: to ten years, when they don't have access to sport,
Speaker 32: the amount they're going to have to spend on their
Speaker 32: mental health due to just sitting on their phones and
Speaker 32: scrolling social media just astounds me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it seems that simple, doesn't it, Sue. It's that
Speaker 1: we know the trade off. If you played sport all
Speaker 1: your life, you know what it does for your health,
Speaker 1: your mental health, all of that keeps you out of hospital,
Speaker 1: all of that. And yet it's a mysterious decision, this one,
Speaker 1: isn't it.
Speaker 32: It is beyond you know, it's just not fathomable. Don't understand.
Speaker 32: And Rita herself, she's got kids, so you think of
Speaker 32: someone who loves sport as much as she does, you'd
Speaker 32: be encouraging every single opportunity possible, you know. Personally, I
Speaker 32: just think all sports should be accessible.
Speaker 1: So what what sport are you playing?
Speaker 32: Still was iron Man for years, but just cycling these days.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Okay, so not all not all kids sports are kids
Speaker 1: sport kids go on to be stars, but they do
Speaker 1: play community sport. But there's a good there's a player
Speaker 1: who plays for the West Coast Fever, for the netball team,
Speaker 1: a gun netball team Sunday, a Yang Sundays. She plays
Speaker 1: in Australian Diamonds. She plays for Australia. She's played thirty
Speaker 1: she got thirty four test gaps. She is a kid
Speaker 1: sport kid. Yes, so she went Midvale, didn't have battler family.
Speaker 1: She plays for the Fever and plays for Australia. And
Speaker 1: she wouldn't have if it wasn't for kid sport.
Speaker 32: You're right, And as say, not all of them will
Speaker 32: end up in her position, but imagine where she potentially
Speaker 32: could have ended up without that opportunity. Yeah, yeah too, right,
Speaker 32: So yeah, what makes interior?
Speaker 1: Yeah me too, thanks Sue. It's a it's a baffling decision,
Speaker 1: it really is. So from a treasurer who understands community sport,
Speaker 1: it has been, you know, up to date, a pretty
Speaker 1: good minister. We we might replay either some of Dave
Speaker 1: Templeman's comments from August of last year when he was
Speaker 1: cocker hoop about making the amount. So this is about
Speaker 1: the kids Sport voucher amount reducing from five hundred to
Speaker 1: three hundred, and what the government is saying is that
Speaker 1: will save US twenty million dollars over five years. You know,
Speaker 1: and there are other cost of living measures we are using.
Speaker 1: But that's not a lot of dough. That's not a
Speaker 1: lot of dough. Now we know the lot and I
Speaker 1: am okay with the NRL license sixty five million dollars
Speaker 1: over six years. But it does it's hard not to
Speaker 1: draw a comparison between one and the other, isn't it
Speaker 1: one double three eighty two. We'll get there, we'll go
Speaker 1: to the stock marketing. Just a moment with Owen Claire.
Speaker 1: I just wanted to invite Sean Lindsey into the studio,
Speaker 1: our executive producer today. Short, I'm nervous today. I know
Speaker 1: we're all going to well, I've been in your situation.
Speaker 1: So Seawan's going through. Shawn has made a career choice
Speaker 1: coming up in about a month or so, and we
Speaker 1: support him in all of that because he wants to
Speaker 1: try something different. So Mama, we're going to lose him
Speaker 1: and Anna around about the same time. But having said that,
Speaker 1: it's meant that you have to watch your pennies.
Speaker 23: I have.
Speaker 33: I've had to make some financial decisions, and one of
Speaker 33: those is moving back in with mum and dad. Moving
Speaker 33: back in with Mum and Dad and Mom. I know
Speaker 33: Mom especially loves listening to the program. She loves you,
Speaker 33: so I know that she'll be listening now.
Speaker 1: Mom. Actually I'm the new roommate.
Speaker 33: I'm the new cool, young hip roommate that's moved into
Speaker 33: to join.
Speaker 1: Him on all right, And I'm glad your mum is
Speaker 1: listening because we've managed to get her over from another
Speaker 1: radio station. It does remind me of George Costanza A
Speaker 1: little bit of this here.
Speaker 5: I made some bologney sandwiches.
Speaker 1: Baloney, nobody eats bologny anymore.
Speaker 34: What are you talking about?
Speaker 26: Have a sandwich? Stop it?
Speaker 34: You don't want one?
Speaker 1: Claimer, no thanks.
Speaker 34: I think you're all a little touched in the head.
Speaker 35: I'm so worried about your health, your young men.
Speaker 12: I really don't need it.
Speaker 34: What am I going to do with all these sandwiches?
Speaker 1: Missus Constanza? So now, and I know your mummy is listening,
Speaker 1: so I'm on notice here as well. What time did
Speaker 1: you attempt to have dinner last night?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 33: Yes, so we have a few I wouldn't call them arguments,
Speaker 33: per se. It doesn't get to that stage. But i'd
Speaker 33: certainly question her as to the time of dinner. She said,
Speaker 33: I'm cooking. I'm going to cook dinner. It's going to
Speaker 33: be lovely spaghetti bolonnaise, which is amazing. She'd put some garlict.
Speaker 33: She did burn the garlic bread. Came back to the
Speaker 33: house and the smoke and larm was going bonkers. But
Speaker 33: she said, make sure you're home by back quarter past five?
Speaker 1: So what what four having on treys? So we having?
Speaker 1: We're catching up before dinner daytime?
Speaker 33: She goes, no, No, I think I think we'll be
Speaker 33: plating up at about five thirty, plating up.
Speaker 1: We eat dinner in front of the TV. Mum.
Speaker 33: But it was five thirty strict time, and it was.
Speaker 33: We still made five thirty, and in fact, I think
Speaker 33: it was a bit earlier. Even even though Mom had
Speaker 33: to duck away and find another garlic bread sauce.
Speaker 1: We still got there all right five point thirty for dinner.
Speaker 1: Too early.
Speaker 33: And she always she says, oh, you're very fussy about
Speaker 33: my cooking, or you're very fussy with what you eat.
Speaker 33: And I'm not fussy. I'm not She just Mom loves
Speaker 33: to do the good food's a bit like the baloney
Speaker 33: sound shes. She likes to put on the plate some
Speaker 33: chicken nuggets, some potato and look, I'm not an athlete,
Speaker 33: but I don't always want to have potato gems for dinner.
Speaker 1: I reckon, if I were you, I would I would
Speaker 1: have done that last thirty seconds a bit different.
Speaker 33: But it's like the blowing swages. Maybe I'm touching the habit.
Speaker 33: And she will say, oh, you're still young and active,
Speaker 33: you need to it's okay, whereas my dad's like my
Speaker 33: dad will look me straight in the eye and goes,
Speaker 33: your metabolism will foil, young day boy, and then you'll
Speaker 33: be in a lot of trouble.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, stop talking, okay, five thirty Shawn, And look, yeah,
Speaker 1: what type of people have dinner? Seven? Isn't it seventy seven?
Speaker 33: We used to when we were normal, between six and
Speaker 33: six thirty, when you were normal. Yeah, but now it's
Speaker 33: just too early. I think it's so mum can relax
Speaker 33: and not have to worry about it.
Speaker 1: Too late. But I think seven is a normal time,
Speaker 1: is it?
Speaker 17: Yeh?
Speaker 1: Does your dad cook?
Speaker 17: No?
Speaker 1: It's a hard no, isn't it? Sorry? She wants to
Speaker 1: move back home with his folks, back to Boloney Sandwichville
Speaker 1: and has been eating at five thirty. What time do
Speaker 1: you have dinner? Folks? One double three eight eighty two.
Speaker 17: Hello Michael, Yeah mate, how are you good? Thank you mate?
Speaker 10: We're going about this bit clinic and the smart lawyer
Speaker 10: they had. Why didn't the smart layer ask for security
Speaker 10: your costs before he started the case? I sued, someone
Speaker 10: try to sue me, and I said, you have no trouble.
Speaker 10: I said, we don't cost fifty grand. There's mark fifty
Speaker 10: grand in the courts. Put your fifty grand up. If
Speaker 10: you can't put the fifty grand up, well you haven't
Speaker 10: you you know you can't sue me. Basically, but just said.
Speaker 26: That he put it up or shut up.
Speaker 10: They didn't put it up and.
Speaker 1: They went away in the absence of ning Michael, I
Speaker 1: reckon a defamation trial involving someone like Tash and her
Speaker 1: legal team would be it'd be a moving feast and
Speaker 1: would move around all the time, So you just need
Speaker 1: to need to keep appearing or keep preparing information. I
Speaker 1: would have thought. I think that's sort of my understanding
Speaker 1: of it. It is it's an expensive process defamation, so
Speaker 1: we feel for Kay Macintosh. Let's not forget how this started.
Speaker 1: It's Tash living in the air, driving past, seeing a
Speaker 1: cocky or a gala in a cage in the sun.
Speaker 1: She goes in to take the get the bird out
Speaker 1: of the sun. They do that. She comes back the
Speaker 1: next day in films, you know, films inside the vet clinic.
Speaker 1: Get sue for and post it on Facebook. Get sue
Speaker 1: for defamation. O's k three twenty eight thousand or the
Speaker 1: clinic three twenty eight thousand, can't pay it, doesn't want
Speaker 1: to pay it through legal process. And now Kay struggling
Speaker 1: not only to get that money either three twenty eight
Speaker 1: but also her legal bills have gone up. And I
Speaker 1: can only imagine, Michael, it's to do with defamation process.
Speaker 1: Shawn studying short had dinner at five thirty last night
Speaker 1: with his mum and dad. Get a ZENO.
Speaker 20: Hey, hey, hey, Simon, Yeah yeah, five thirty is a
Speaker 20: bit early even for me. We normally eat about six thirty.

Speaker 20: thirty seven o'clock.

Speaker 1: this people coming in to us, and thanks to all

Speaker 1: pretty well. Brennan on the Brickey program and he he's
Speaker 1: got a fair few side hustles. Sebastian bless him goes
Speaker 1: all right, doesn't he. Brad's finding high Brad.
Speaker 5: There you go.
Speaker 8: Simon here, you're going good mate a Simon when you're
Speaker 8: talking about these kids sports. This crossed my mind at
Speaker 8: the last state election. It's quite amazing how things happened
Speaker 8: when the state election on, how they promised everything and
Speaker 8: then after the elections they take everything right. But anyway,
Speaker 8: at the election booth, we happen to bump into the
Speaker 8: Member for mandra Now who got elected in Brick Williams
Speaker 8: yep ye, and Tampa was alongside him with him.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 8: We asked him on their big placard on the fence,
Speaker 8: austray and Labor part State Labor, whatever, we're going to
Speaker 8: spend twenty million dollars on MANDRA netball, right. Anyway, we
Speaker 8: asked and we questioned Reyes Williams, and we said to him, okay, Ree,
Speaker 8: where's the step forward facility is going to be just
Speaker 8: twenty million?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 8: And he come back and he said, We've got two
Speaker 8: places in mind, but he says I can't disclose them
Speaker 8: because that's confidential, right, And I thought, there we go,
Speaker 8: could be another third to be like Themandra Hospital. But
Speaker 8: anyway to go on, Simon, it's really not fair because
Speaker 8: a lot of families and Amanda are struggling. We've got
Speaker 8: young kids who want to play sports, right. My daughter
Speaker 8: had next week she plays netbar for MANDRA down here
Speaker 8: and they're traveling across to the Gold Coast for a
Speaker 8: competition against you like New Guinea and New zeal And
Speaker 8: the stuff next week. But a lot of families, Simon,
Speaker 8: afford for their kids to go, and a lot of
Speaker 8: those kids are very good sports kids, right, so now
Speaker 8: like get left out and it's not there. What's going on? Right?
Speaker 8: And really the government should really step up because they
Speaker 8: should be promoting kids sports. And like I said, somebody's
Speaker 8: kids Simon Amandra cannot go to the Gold Coast because
Speaker 8: their parents can't afford it. And a lot of the kids,
Speaker 8: with the money they get from the state government, they
Speaker 8: put it towards the trip to the Gold Coast.
Speaker 1: You're with me, Yeah, so what's happened with what's happened
Speaker 1: with the netball for Siddley? Have you heard any more?
Speaker 23: No?
Speaker 8: Nothing we see I've seen some advertising at least the
Speaker 8: mondays we're paid saying that, oh yeah we're twenty million
Speaker 8: netbore twenty million. But no one knows where it is.
Speaker 8: No one knows what's going on. No one knows when
Speaker 8: it's going to be started or when it's going to
Speaker 8: be finished.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, we'll have a look. I mean he romped in,
Speaker 1: Rich Williams romped in and was anointed by by Dave Templeman.
Speaker 1: They're both very popular members, no doubt about it. Reached
Speaker 1: the former mayor of Mandra. I hadn't heard that one
Speaker 1: about the netball quartal. I'll look into it, Brad, and
Speaker 1: I appreciate your thoughts on kids sport and we were
Speaker 1: a little baffle on this one. It's the voucher value
Speaker 1: has gone from five hundred bucks to three hundred. I
Speaker 1: think essentially that will mean kids will be abut to
Speaker 1: play one sport not another. It saves the government about
Speaker 1: twenty mil over five years. It was way back in
Speaker 1: the day. It was a liberal initiative, a liberal national
Speaker 1: initiative under Tuck and mister Barnett. It's been well supported
Speaker 1: in recent times by the Labor government, absolutely no question
Speaker 1: about that. But it's there pulling back on the amount
Speaker 1: one double three eight eighty two. Thanks you call, Brad.
Speaker 1: We've had a little bit of correspondence coming in on
Speaker 1: Sean being unhappy eating at five point thirty. Sandra says,
Speaker 1: I think if Sewan's mum wants to cook him dinner,
Speaker 1: she can, but she can leave it in the microway,
Speaker 1: oven or fridge and you can eat it around his schedule.
Speaker 1: Rick says, cook your own dinner, Shaw and your ungrateful
Speaker 1: swine give us says I'd fly business cup class if six.
Speaker 1: Pur is shouting this one here from Martin when I
Speaker 1: visited my mum in Kent five years ago had woken
Speaker 1: up at nine pm for dinner. I need to watch
Speaker 1: the Foxes at the back door eating before us is
Speaker 1: Martin one double three eight eighty two is the phone number.
Speaker 1: It's twenty one minutes to midday. Let's do this On
Speaker 1: pers six PR, the stock market reports, Oh he Claire
Speaker 1: joins us from Share and Partners on this Tuesday morning.
Speaker 1: Hi Onwan, how are you good?
Speaker 17: Mornings? Iven't I'm very.
Speaker 1: Well and how are we traveling? How are Virgin Australia going?
Speaker 38: Yeah, they're back on the ASX again. It was COVID
Speaker 38: nineteen that's felled the end the first time for Virgin.
Speaker 38: Back in twenty twenty, people stopped flying. The airline went
Speaker 38: into administration because they were drowning in the sea of
Speaker 38: debt that they couldn't repay, and sensing an opportunity, the
Speaker 38: US private equity group Bain Capital came in and bought
Speaker 38: the airline with the benefit of hindsight. What a great
Speaker 38: opportunity that has turned out to be because the post
Speaker 38: COVID travel boom meant that they got their money back
Speaker 38: in just over two years, and then they made about
Speaker 38: two times their money when Qatar Airlines came in and
Speaker 38: bought a quarter of Virgin several months ago, and now
Speaker 38: this public offering is for about thirty percent of the airline,
Speaker 38: so Bane Capital will get their money back again. And
Speaker 38: on top of that, they still own around forty percent
Speaker 38: of Virgin Australia. And because they've already more than quadrupled
Speaker 38: their money on this investment, it has enabled Baines to
Speaker 38: price today's share offer pretty fairly. The IPO was at
Speaker 38: two dollars ninety a share. They're trading currently at three
Speaker 38: dollars thirteen, which is an eight percent premium, and there
Speaker 38: are hopes that if this IPO is successful it may
Speaker 38: reignite them market for new floats here in Australia because
Speaker 38: there haven't been too many in recent times. But also
Speaker 38: hitting the ax for the first time today is a
Speaker 38: company called great Land Gold. They own the Telfa gold
Speaker 38: and copper mine up in the Patterson region in the
Speaker 38: north of Western Australia. They have the third largest processing
Speaker 38: capacity for gold and copper anywhere in the country. Great
Speaker 38: Land bought the mine off Newmont and the shares used
Speaker 38: to only trade in London, but now their shares trade
Speaker 38: here as well. Great Land did a small capital raising
Speaker 38: of fifty million dollars as part of their listing of
Speaker 38: shares here, and those shares were offered at six dollars
Speaker 38: forty share trading today at seven dollars thirty, which is
Speaker 38: a bit over a ten percent premium for them, So
Speaker 38: two successful debuts on the ASX today. But what's really
Speaker 38: affecting the share market is the news overnight that Donald
Speaker 38: Trump has declared a tentative ceasefire between Israel and Iran.
Speaker 38: Will have to wait and see if that turns out
Speaker 38: to be true or not, but for now, it was
Speaker 38: enough to see the share market in the US increased
Speaker 38: by around one percent. But the price of oil has
Speaker 38: tumbled eight percent today and the goal price is weaker
Speaker 38: as well, so goal cheers here and energy companies are
Speaker 38: giving back some of their recent gains. Woodside, for example,
Speaker 38: have fallen over two dollars or around seven point nine
Speaker 38: percent for back to twenty three dollars seventy eight. But
Speaker 38: the rest of the market is doing pretty well. The
Speaker 38: Commonwealth Banks share price has proded over one hundred and
Speaker 38: eighty eight dollars, up three dollars fifty, and the All
Speaker 38: Lords is ahead by eighty four points. Were at eighty
Speaker 38: seven hundred and seventy two simon.
Speaker 1: Eight seven seven to on the all odds index. Thank
Speaker 1: you on chatchy tomorrow. I have a good day.
Speaker 20: We'll do cheers both.
Speaker 1: Thank you mate. Nineteen minutes to sorry, eighteen minutes to midday,
Speaker 1: thanks for listening. In Rita Safiotti, who is the Sports
Speaker 1: and Recreation Minister, among other things, Treasurer transport. All of
Speaker 1: that she was asked today as she went into Parliament,
Speaker 1: she was asked by Pazza Jeff Paza the topic of
Speaker 1: the day. Pazza asked Rita about kids sport vouchers. Why
Speaker 1: they gone from five hundred dollars to three hundred dollars
Speaker 1: per voucher. Paz to Rita, oh no, we've.
Speaker 34: Increased to three hundred dollars. The five hundred dollar was
Speaker 34: a one off, one year impact. So kidsport started at
Speaker 34: one hundred and fifty dollars a couple of years ago.
Speaker 39: It's grown to now our commitment to three hundred dollars
Speaker 39: going forward.
Speaker 34: And the other point is we've done it.
Speaker 39: We did an assessment of the average spend of a
Speaker 39: kid sport voucher and that was two hundred and fifty dollars,
Speaker 39: so we have more than covered the average cost of
Speaker 39: the average spend from Kidsport. On top of that, sorry,
Speaker 39: we're also of course rolling at the student assistance payments.
Speaker 34: Yesterday the Premier release the figures.
Speaker 39: They're still around twenty three percent of Metro families who
Speaker 39: haven't claimed, and also about twenty nine percent of regional
Speaker 39: families that haven't claimed.
Speaker 34: So we encourage everyone to claim their student assistance payment.
Speaker 40: A cynic would say though that there was a pre
Speaker 40: election suiteener and now that you've won the election, you've
Speaker 40: stripped it back by two hundred dollars.
Speaker 34: We've got a range range of initiatives.
Speaker 39: In fact, this was the Kids Sport commitment was a
Speaker 39: new commitment in the budget.
Speaker 34: It's something that we added to the budget. So the
Speaker 34: budget had it going back.
Speaker 39: To one hundred and fifty dollars, so we made sure
Speaker 39: we kept it at three hundred dollars.
Speaker 34: As I said, this additional money we put into the budget.
Speaker 39: We've expanded it also to the Scouts and guides as
Speaker 39: been requested by those groups, and they're very excited.
Speaker 1: Well one off, I mean they could be suggested that
Speaker 1: you have.
Speaker 15: It's just to buy a vote at election time and
Speaker 15: then plug them afterwards.
Speaker 39: No, we've got new initiatives, like I said, but there's
Speaker 39: also access all Areas initiative. The student Assistants payment was
Speaker 39: something we introduced also through the election and we got.
Speaker 34: Funded and rolling out.
Speaker 39: So we also announced, for example, keeping the free public
Speaker 39: transport for children going to school. So there's a lot
Speaker 39: of new initiatives as well in this budget, including as
Speaker 39: I said, free public transport for kids. Also in addition
Speaker 39: the free public transport for kids, the student assistants payment,
Speaker 39: Access all Areas, and also the kids bought voucher at
Speaker 39: three hundred dollars.
Speaker 34: Remember a couple of years ago, with one hundred and
Speaker 34: fifty dollars.
Speaker 1: You had the money in the for a higher voucher.
Speaker 17: No he didn't.
Speaker 34: No we didn't, so that wasn't So this money is
Speaker 34: new money.
Speaker 30: There is money.
Speaker 1: Sorry, there is a surplus. You could have spent a
Speaker 1: wide shoes not Oh, we've.
Speaker 39: Introduced a whole range of new cost of living measures
Speaker 39: for children.
Speaker 1: So that's a reader talking to Dylan and Pazza. One
Speaker 1: double three eight e E two is the phone number.
Speaker 1: I mean that the last is question is, and it
Speaker 1: wasn't a couple of years ago that kids sport was
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty dollars. It started in two thousand
Speaker 1: and eleven, and it started a hundred fifty dollars back then.
Speaker 1: So it's fourteen years ago, and it was under the
Speaker 1: labor sort of liberal national government that came out. It's
Speaker 1: a good scheme and it's been going for everyone. I
Speaker 1: don't I don't know that any of us realize when
Speaker 1: it was announced in August last year that that was
Speaker 1: that five hundred bucks was one off.
Speaker 30: Good a jeff my excitement reading, yeah read pitty reader
Speaker 30: didn't announce that the five hundred dollars was going to
Speaker 30: go under three hundred dollars when she announced the racetrack
Speaker 30: five minutes before the election. And as I put in
Speaker 30: a net note to you earlier, I bet the racetrack
Speaker 30: will blow out more than twenty million dollars that could
Speaker 30: pay for this this. Yeah, what is it now?
Speaker 1: Mate's two hundred and seventeen? I think, wasn't it it
Speaker 1: was announced that Yeah, a good, good point. I don't
Speaker 1: normally buy into these sorts of things, but this one's
Speaker 1: got to me. This is about priority isn't it. And yeah,
Speaker 1: and there are there are targeted packages. Thanks Jeff, good
Speaker 1: on your Jeff from Safety Bay, from shoal Water. The
Speaker 1: I'll come back. I'll come back on this one because
Speaker 1: we it's now fourteen minutes to twelve. But this one
Speaker 1: does feel like a priority spend and they're making a
Speaker 1: decision not to spend the money on kids sport, spend
Speaker 1: it on other stuff. It does feel like that five
Speaker 1: hundred bucks was a lot is a lot. It was
Speaker 1: welcomed last year. It means that kids families can play
Speaker 1: a winter sport and a summer sport. And I'll ask
Speaker 1: this question in a slightly different way. Maybe it's too
Speaker 1: maybe it was too much. So the New South Wales
Speaker 1: government have just handed down their state budget. They've got
Speaker 1: a kids sports style program. It's called Active Kids in
Speaker 1: the Boat. They get New South Wales kids disadvantage cause
Speaker 1: you get two fifty dollars out just per year, one
Speaker 1: hundred bucks. So that's let's ask the question a different way.
Speaker 1: Do you think five hundred was too much for Batler
Speaker 1: families and batl the kids so they could play sport? Maybe, yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe that's issue. Two fifty dollars Ouchers in New South Wales.
Speaker 1: How about that, Shian Lindsay, the hard working executive producer
Speaker 1: of our show where our friend our colleague just moved
Speaker 1: back in with his mum and dad. George Costanza style
Speaker 1: had dinner at five point thirty last night, plating up
Speaker 1: at five point thirty. Pretty funny. We've all done it
Speaker 1: some stage, I mean, Chris says. I'm of the opinion
Speaker 1: that once you leave home you never go back to
Speaker 1: understand on your own two feet sure, and dinner times
Speaker 1: usually around seven thirty, but subject to change due to
Speaker 1: whatever circumstances. I'm a shift worker, so sometimes got to
Speaker 1: be earlier or later, depending on shift times. Cheers mate,
Speaker 1: Thank you Chris. This one here from Mitch woke up
Speaker 1: at three, had breakfast, just finished the lasagna and chicken
Speaker 1: parmesana for dinner. I'll have some fruit later on Bring
Speaker 1: Back Kids Sport funding, says Mitch Cane and Milko Hello,
Speaker 1: came dinner around four pm? Better around five five thirty,
Speaker 1: Get up at twelve forty five, at work by two am,
Speaker 1: six days a week for the past twenty five years,
Speaker 1: such as the Life of a Milkman. Thank you, Kine.
Speaker 1: Appreciate your thoughts there can I Jason?
Speaker 41: Yeah, gooday boe, Yes, I'm on my way home Made
Speaker 41: on Great Easter and heading east. Right just after the
Speaker 41: Lion's treat in Sawyer's Valley, a BGC double has gone
Speaker 41: on to the other side of the road Made and
Speaker 41: it's like horizontal facing the oncoming traffic on the other side.
Speaker 1: Mate, So is what just skidded and veered across the road?
Speaker 41: Yeah, it's feared off and it's feared off to the
Speaker 41: right instead of the left onto the oncoming traffic on
Speaker 41: Great Eastern Made and the cops are there. They've blocked
Speaker 41: that side off and the site going east they've blocked
Speaker 41: one lane off Made. It looks Yeah, I don't know
Speaker 41: what's happened, but obviously he's try to avoid someone or something.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Is it on its wheels? Jason hasn't rolled or anything.
Speaker 41: No, it's on its wheels, but it's virtually on on
Speaker 41: both sides of the road. It's that long, so they
Speaker 41: can't get a crop.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So that's that Sawyer's Valley. What was the name
Speaker 1: of the street across the street just.
Speaker 41: After Lion Street. If you're heading east towards cal Gorley.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, all right, all right mate, thanks letting us
Speaker 1: know Jason issues. Mate might want to avoid the area.
Speaker 1: So that's great. It's in the highway. I think Jason
Speaker 1: was saying it across both lanes of traffic near Sawyer's
Speaker 1: Value Valley. There, Chris today, how are you mate? Good?
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 6: I just wanted to stand about the sports. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 6: a bog coach at the local footy club and ye club.
Speaker 6: The coach out a lot of the kids sort of
Speaker 6: come from that's well off families and have a few
Speaker 6: money issues and that the up the western subab sort
Speaker 6: of families. And it's all good for the sports out
Speaker 6: to cover one season. Maybe that covers the footy season,
Speaker 6: but if they take it away, they don't come back
Speaker 6: to summer sport, you know. And for a lot of
Speaker 6: these kids that have come from a tougher life, they
Speaker 6: need that summer sport to keep them interested in something.
Speaker 6: You know, if you don't keep them interested in it,
Speaker 6: they just go off and get on to the wrong
Speaker 6: side of the road, you know. Like it's just I
Speaker 6: don't think these politicians really understand how much it means
Speaker 6: to kids who come to have something to come to
Speaker 6: every day and to have some wrong models in their
Speaker 6: life that they can look up to, you know, like
Speaker 6: you just sort of let them go over the summer
Speaker 6: or the winter. Half of them don't come back. That's
Speaker 6: the problem, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks Chris. What do you you send footy? What
Speaker 1: do you do during the summer?
Speaker 6: Basketball? May I coached the footy team and then half
Speaker 6: of the boys that you know struggle a little bit.
Speaker 6: I've started up a basketball team over summer just to
Speaker 6: sort of give them to something to come back to.
Speaker 6: So they praying two nights a week, they play one
Speaker 6: day a week, and it's amazing how many of them
Speaker 6: actually come back. And then you've sort of got your
Speaker 6: hooks into them and they come back to foot you
Speaker 6: the next season as well, you know.
Speaker 1: So all right, yeah, thanks thanks Chris. Cheers mate, very
Speaker 1: good point. So, yeah, that's we're wondering if that is
Speaker 1: the issue where the reduction for five hundred and three
Speaker 1: hundred means that they're just playing one sport as opposed
Speaker 1: to winter and summer sport. It is a lot of money.
Speaker 1: Happy to keep taking your calls, at least, Gately joins
Speaker 1: us from our newsroom here at six PRM. She's been
Speaker 1: to a res whippy press, commerce, high alease. What are
Speaker 1: we talking about?
Speaker 35: Yeah, and the Attorney General Tony Booty was there as well.
Speaker 35: So they flagged this before the election. But they're finally
Speaker 35: this week introducing to Parliament a bill. They've dubbed it
Speaker 35: the Post and Boast Laws. So these laws will make
Speaker 35: posting criminal activity on social media the actual video illegal.
Speaker 35: So whether you've taken the video and put it up
Speaker 35: or you share it as well, that will be an
Speaker 35: offense that carries up to three years in prison and
Speaker 35: the court can order you to take it down and
Speaker 35: if you don't, you might be slapped with a twelve
Speaker 35: thousand dollar fine.
Speaker 22: So what is it?
Speaker 1: What potentially could an illegal act be if it was filmed?
Speaker 1: Is it a fight? Is it animal cruelty? It's something
Speaker 1: to do with cars? What is it?
Speaker 42: Yeah?
Speaker 35: So it's a lot of those things. It's only a
Speaker 35: few prescribed defenses, but think honing, stealing cars, filming fights,
Speaker 35: even Nazi gestures and Nazi symbols. It's really to deter
Speaker 35: people from committing these offenses purely to get social media clout.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, you've got some provided us with some
Speaker 1: audio from Rees Whitby. Let's have a listen, police and
Speaker 1: members of the community generally a second tide of seeing
Speaker 1: copycat crims engaged in often dangerous activity and other crimes
Speaker 1: to get a kick out of it, to put it
Speaker 1: on Facebook. All right, So post and boast laws, when
Speaker 1: are they coming in, Elise?
Speaker 35: So they're only being introduced to Parliament this week, but
Speaker 35: I'm sure we will see. I'm sure it will get
Speaker 35: bipartisan support. I don't think you can really argue with that,
Speaker 35: so it should be very.
Speaker 1: Soon, all right. Did Minister note that it's used in
Speaker 1: other jurisdictions or yeah.
Speaker 35: So we are far behind the rest of the states,
Speaker 35: so we are catching up to them by introducing this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, thanks Alice. We'll hear your reports in
Speaker 1: our news bulletins today. Thank you, Thank you at least
Speaker 1: greatly from our newsroom here. So post and post rules
Speaker 1: being introduced to parliament be legal to post video photographs
Speaker 1: of criminal activity. It's a new thing and we are
Speaker 1: a little behind the rest of the jurisdictions. I wasn't
Speaker 1: aware of that. I need to get out of house
Speaker 1: more three and a half minutes to midday, stone Rose
Speaker 1: is how good coming out to midday. We'd love to
Speaker 1: hear from you today. Would you jump on a plane
Speaker 1: at the moment, particularly to travel through the Middle East area? Yes,
Speaker 1: is a thirty eight and the nose are twenty five
Speaker 1: and if you have travel insurance there is there's often
Speaker 1: a you might find a clause in there against wars
Speaker 1: and insurrections. I'll bring you that in just a moment,
Speaker 1: love to hear from you one double three a eighty two.
Speaker 1: The cost of an Australia post stamp has gone from
Speaker 1: one to law fifty to one dollar seventy. We'll look
Speaker 1: at that as well. Thanks listening. In coming up on
Speaker 1: the show, in just a moment, we have an interview
Speaker 1: can you get Can you have too much sleep? It's
Speaker 1: too much sleep a bad thing? You know when you
Speaker 1: sleep in and your mum says you must have needed it.
Speaker 1: You sleep for eleven twelve hours, you must have needed it.
Speaker 1: We're going to speak to a sleep expert in just
Speaker 1: a moment. Is too much sleeper as a bad thing?
Speaker 1: Is it the same as not getting enough sleep? Talk
Speaker 1: about that in just a second on the program. Would
Speaker 1: you jump on a plane at the moment, especially if
Speaker 1: it was heading near the Middle East. So yes is
Speaker 1: a thirty eight the nose at twenty five. I'd love
Speaker 1: to hear from you today. Terry's phoned in. We'll track
Speaker 1: down Terry, who's husband is in Doha. Terry, Hello, how
Speaker 1: are you good? Thank you? What's happened?
Speaker 42: Well, he's landed. I know that because I saw the
Speaker 42: plane on flight tracker. But one flight's been canceled to
Speaker 42: London and one is boarding, so I don't know whether
Speaker 42: he's on there because he hasn't rained me. Oh yeah,
Speaker 42: he troubled.
Speaker 1: Who's he flying with, Terry?
Speaker 42: He's flying with Qatar. Yeah, so he's on his way
Speaker 42: to Dublin because that's where he's from. He's a mad Irishman.
Speaker 8: Yeah yeah, yeah, and it's got a wedding to go to.
Speaker 1: Okay, ordinarily would he contact you? Is he that that bloke?
Speaker 28: Oh?
Speaker 42: Yeah, mostly? Yeah, yeah, but I don't. I don't think
Speaker 42: he's o fay with WhatsApp at the moment. Okay, I
Speaker 42: think he needs a bit of practice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, WhatsApp challenged? All right? All right, but you sound
Speaker 1: in good humor, Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
Speaker 42: All good, all right, I've got a couple of weeks
Speaker 42: off work. So that's really good. Yeah, I'm doing some
Speaker 42: jobs around the house, all right.
Speaker 1: No hobby, no job for a couple of weeks. Sounds good.
Speaker 1: That's very good, thanks Terry.
Speaker 42: I work in local government as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh good on you. All right, thanks Terry. Well
Speaker 1: twenty odd thousand people do big employer. Thanks Terry. Nice
Speaker 1: to hear from you. So how are you not picking
Speaker 1: up or not ringing from Doha? But as it looks
Speaker 1: like flight tracker says he has landed one of our listeners.
Speaker 1: I think it's Paul. Paul has sent through the media
Speaker 1: release the press release of the government about kids sport
Speaker 1: from last year. Thank you, Paul, appreciate it mate. We
Speaker 1: printed it out. So this the date of this is?
Speaker 1: Is it journal July? Sean? I think it isn't July
Speaker 1: of last year? Thank you Paul, Thank you Sean. So
Speaker 1: the Cook Labor government today announced the major in support
Speaker 1: support for WA fans to cover the cost of children's sport.
Speaker 1: The financial assistance available through kid Sport almost doubled for
Speaker 1: twenty four and twenty five, five hundred bucks in kid
Speaker 1: support vouchers available per eligible child. And it goes on
Speaker 1: and it's you know, it's what's the word, it's celebrating
Speaker 1: the initiative kids Sport. Families can apply it to five
Speaker 1: hundred dollars from what I can see, So this is
Speaker 1: a three million dollar boost in financial support, so the
Speaker 1: second since August of the previous year. So Kidsport was
Speaker 1: lifted from one hundred and fifty to three hundred, which
Speaker 1: is what readasafiotic was referring to today. So it started
Speaker 1: out at one hundred and fifty whack in twenty eleven
Speaker 1: and so on. Look, there's no obvious mention here that
Speaker 1: it's a one off. There is no obvious mention here
Speaker 1: that it's one apart from apart from it says apart
Speaker 1: from for almost double for twenty four and twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: So there's no really obvious phrasing there. This is a
Speaker 1: one off that is not articulated. It's it's complementary about
Speaker 1: the program. This comment's attributed to Dave Temperman. The comments
Speaker 1: attributed to forest Field MLA. Stephen Price. You must have
Speaker 1: been at the press conference at the time, but it doesn't.
Speaker 1: Thanks Paul, thanks sending it through. There's no mention it
Speaker 1: to a one off, which which what reader is saying
Speaker 1: today one double three A to eighty two. So I
Speaker 1: wanted to ask you this as well. There's an opinion
Speaker 1: piece in the Australian newspapers to Day about earbuds, about earbuds,
Speaker 1: that earbuds are being worn more and more by retail
Speaker 1: workers and frontline workers and people who are public facing.
Speaker 1: So some it would appear that some people won't take
Speaker 1: their earbuds out when they're at work because they for
Speaker 1: whatever reason, they might not necessarily have them turned on,
Speaker 1: they might not necessarily be playing anything into them. But
Speaker 1: people are wearing their earbuds all the time. What do
Speaker 1: you think about that? So some people do you know,
Speaker 1: are we acknowledge are neurodivergent? Some people have their ear
Speaker 1: buds in all day, every day at work. Now, you
Speaker 1: couldn't get away with it here in a radio station
Speaker 1: because you've got to listen to the station and you've
Speaker 1: got to talk to your colleagues. I don't think you'd
Speaker 1: get away with it here unless you are working on
Speaker 1: the weekend and you're on your own. But the wearing
Speaker 1: of earbuds at work, what do you reckon? Some people
Speaker 1: don't take them out all day, and I'd love to
Speaker 1: hear from someone who does do that. There might be
Speaker 1: reasons for that. Some people don't take them out because
Speaker 1: they think they'll lose them, they'll lose one or both.
Speaker 1: I reckon, I've got six pairs of singles at home
Speaker 1: where I've lost earbuds through you know, falling out on
Speaker 1: my bike or losing them or falling out of my
Speaker 1: ear and getting run over by cars or whatever it is.
Speaker 1: So I've got a heap of them. Heap of singles
Speaker 1: don't work anymore. But what you reckon about earbuds? When
Speaker 1: people are working a job that's public faithing. So if
Speaker 1: you go to a counter, go to a retailer, you
Speaker 1: go to Department of Transport and someone. I don't know
Speaker 1: what the public service rule is on this, but people
Speaker 1: do wear earbuds at work all the time, now, don't they?
Speaker 1: I saw it in my previous workplace. Don't talk, you know,
Speaker 1: don't talk to people. Need to concentrate and need to
Speaker 1: write this, need to do that. What do you reckon
Speaker 1: wearing earbuds at work? Is it okay? I can't do
Speaker 1: it here? Wouldn't do it here because you need to
Speaker 1: listen to the station or you're supposed to earbuds should
Speaker 1: they be banned from workplaces? And Mark who's Mark's were
Speaker 1: working with today? Mark Dora and he says the cost
Speaker 1: of an Australian post stamp has gone from a dollar
Speaker 1: fifty to a dollar seventy, a dollar fifty to a
Speaker 1: dollar seventy. And it's just on the way out, isn't it?
Speaker 37: Is?
Speaker 1: WhatsApp is What's app the new way of staying in
Speaker 1: touch with friends and family. You get a give big
Speaker 1: what'sapp thing together. You can do videos, you can write stuff,
Speaker 1: you can take photos. Is that why stamps have gone
Speaker 1: from a dollar fifty dollars seventy because people don't use
Speaker 1: them as much? I'd love to hear from you the
Speaker 1: earbuds at work? What do you reckon? Particularly in public
Speaker 1: facing jobs or any job? Is really part of going
Speaker 1: to work is being social, isn't it? And being in
Speaker 1: a social environment I would have thought. But happy to
Speaker 1: take your calls and are you one of those dudes
Speaker 1: who does not take the yearbuds out at any stage?
Speaker 1: One double three atty two is the phone number, just
Speaker 1: to remind you. Rita Safiotti saying to journalists outside cabinet
Speaker 1: today it's a Pazza and Dills answering the question about
Speaker 1: kids sports. So apparently it was only a one off
Speaker 1: the five hundred dollars payment. You have a listen. Oh no, we've.
Speaker 34: Increased to three hundred dollars. The five hundred dollars a
Speaker 34: one off, one year impact. So kids sports started at
Speaker 34: one hundred and fifty dollars a couple of years ago.
Speaker 34: It's grown to now our commitment to three hundred dollars
Speaker 34: going forward.
Speaker 1: All right, so was it a one off? Did you
Speaker 1: expect it's going to be a one off? Charmaine says
Speaker 1: the saving from cutting kids sport could well be eaten
Speaker 1: up by kids getting the justice system through boredom. Charmaine
Speaker 1: good point, having kids in the tent, being part of
Speaker 1: the community playing sport really really important. It's a social
Speaker 1: issue as well as a sport issue, health issue. Get
Speaker 1: a Beev good show, she says, thanks Bev. No who
Speaker 1: are hopping on a plane at present? Jason says, yes
Speaker 1: to me, sometimes it is too far to warp, and
Speaker 1: Zeno says, or wear my earbuds every day, listened to
Speaker 1: six pur and it cuts out, or the gardening tools noise.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Grael.
Speaker 5: Good Simon, How are you good?
Speaker 1: Earbuds Simon?
Speaker 25: Just on the same theme. I'm a bike rider and
Speaker 25: one of the challenging issues, of course is when you're
Speaker 25: flying down and you've got people walking along and you
Speaker 25: sound your bell, you do all your right thing, but
Speaker 25: people just have two earbuds in and they're completely obliviate.
Speaker 25: This is to any other activity around them. So look,
Speaker 25: I'm not suggesting for a minute that you know, they
Speaker 25: have to drop the earbuds, but I think certainly if
Speaker 25: they work towards us saying, look, if you're out in
Speaker 25: the public ear it, just put one earbud in because
Speaker 25: it's an excellent waiting to happen. We ride every morning,
Speaker 25: so we do come across it on a very regular basis, all.
Speaker 1: Right mate, Yeah, safety reasons for pedestrians, chairs ol, Thank you,
Speaker 1: keep up the good work. One double three eight to
Speaker 1: eighty two. Sixteen past midday? Is too much sleep a
Speaker 1: good thing? And wearing earbuds at work? Is it okay?
Speaker 1: That past the pub sniff test? It's sixteen past mid day?
Speaker 1: Shall I say the pub sniff test? I think well deployed.
Speaker 1: That's good enough. Added to myself, Jimmy enjoying his own
Speaker 1: work sixteen and a half minutes past twelve. Back in
Speaker 1: a second, Dave says, all, Dave, this is funny because
Speaker 1: it's this is running out of steam on the show
Speaker 1: a bit. All politicians should be made to wear a
Speaker 1: lie detected test kit at all times when speaking in public,
Speaker 1: a portable polygraph, Dave, little siren goes off when they're fibbing.
Speaker 1: Thank you, mate. Phil says, I was at Carl's the
Speaker 1: other day and went to the deli counter and the
Speaker 1: person had regular ear plugs in and pretended to have
Speaker 1: a select memory. What I said to him as what
Speaker 1: I ordered? Does that pass this? Does it pass that test?
Speaker 1: Shall I say the pub sniff test? Thanks Phil? Cheers mate, Gabs,
Speaker 1: Hi Gabs always like your correspondence, Gabs, you would lose
Speaker 1: a lot of listeners if we couldn't use headphone or earbuds.
Speaker 1: Thank you and good a Ange. I'm a runner and
Speaker 1: I always only wear one earbud otherwise you cannot hear
Speaker 1: anything coming at all. Thanks Ang Patrick, Hi mate Patrick
Speaker 1: from Byford. Without my ear button my left ear as
Speaker 1: I work, I wouldn't be listening to six pr I do.
Speaker 1: I do take them out when I officiate at funerals
Speaker 1: when I'm the celebrant. That's heartening, Patrick, that's good to know.
Speaker 1: This one here from Mark Mark three yearbuds. A lot
Speaker 1: of the good ones have a hear through function which
Speaker 1: actively allows noise from the outside to enter the ear
Speaker 1: buzz and into the years. No good folks who have
Speaker 1: these earbuds turn off this function. Thank you, Mark, good
Speaker 1: to hear from you today. Would you jump on a
Speaker 1: plane at the moment the yeses are forty the nose
Speaker 1: of twenty eight?
Speaker 17: Hi Dave, Oh good day mate. After your help, I
Speaker 17: need someone to ask where's some power? Why they have
Speaker 17: a habit of having planned outages but not giving me
Speaker 17: any warning. It's happened again to day to the people
Speaker 17: in Glendalow. Happened happens sometimes, asked year as well. What
Speaker 17: they do is they have a planned outage, but they
Speaker 17: don't tell you about it, and they send you a
Speaker 17: text about half an hour later.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get those in my ear. Yea, they are
Speaker 1: pretty late, aren't they there? It is late? Notice? Yeah,
Speaker 1: how long is it long?
Speaker 17: Kind of yeah?
Speaker 1: How long's it? Four? Dave?
Speaker 17: Till three thirty?
Speaker 1: They say, yeah, okay, it's a long one went off.
Speaker 17: At about about eleven o'clock this morning. It's either in
Speaker 17: competence by Western Power or they or they're doing on
Speaker 17: purpose one of these two.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, Thanks Dave. I yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1: Often if it's during a get them during the work day,
Speaker 1: it's not such a big deal because you're at you're
Speaker 1: at work, but if you're at home, it's a paying
Speaker 1: the bum. Lee in sunny Scarborough, get a Lee. I'm
Speaker 1: flying to the UK via Doha in two weeks time.
Speaker 1: If I was flying alone, will monitor the news and
Speaker 1: make a call in the final moment. But I'm flying
Speaker 1: with my eight year old, my daughter, so I had
Speaker 1: to put more thought into this, listening to people's opinions,
Speaker 1: and we'll have to do some serious weighing up of
Speaker 1: my own this week. Thanks Lee, appreciate that. Appreciate your thoughts.
Speaker 1: You know, when your sleep for ten or eleven hours
Speaker 1: and your mum says, well you must have needed it?
Speaker 1: Is too much sleep bad for your health, like too
Speaker 1: little sleep. Deb Herdman is a sleep expert and joins
Speaker 1: us now.
Speaker 43: Hello, deb Hi Bowie, how are you today?
Speaker 5: Very well?
Speaker 1: Thanks? Is that the name of your company? Nine nights.
Speaker 37: It is.
Speaker 1: That's nice, isn't it. That's a really I like that
Speaker 1: nine nights? So is that right?
Speaker 17: Can you?
Speaker 1: Is too much sleep bad for you?
Speaker 44: We've known that for a long time. Oh really, it's
Speaker 44: not really anything new, but certainly the more research that
Speaker 44: comes out and the more participants in studies helps to
Speaker 44: substantiate that data that is too much sleep and too
Speaker 44: little sleep is equally.
Speaker 41: Bad for your help.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, why why is too much sleep bad? What
Speaker 1: does that do to you?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 44: The thing is, when you're spending too much time lying down,
Speaker 44: you're your sed entry, which is not good. We need
Speaker 44: to be moving. We're not designed to spend long amounts
Speaker 44: of time in bed. Of course, when you're not moving,
Speaker 44: then you potentially are missing meals. It's it's just not
Speaker 44: good for your health to be that stagnant.
Speaker 30: All right.
Speaker 1: So yep, got inactivity, the sedentary nature that potentially missing
Speaker 1: meals sometimes at nine eyes. So I just like saying
Speaker 1: is that sometimes you need to catch up when you sleep, though,
Speaker 1: don't you?
Speaker 44: Oh look for sure, sometimes you do need to catch up,
Speaker 44: and there's nothing wrong with that. These studies are looking
Speaker 44: at people to perpetually sleep too long so some people
Speaker 44: think they're very lucky to be able to sleep long
Speaker 44: when most of the world is suffering from insomnia. But
Speaker 44: certainly we know for any adult between the ages of
Speaker 44: twenty six to sixty four, between seven and nine hours
Speaker 44: is the recommended range of sleep.
Speaker 1: All right, well that's me. I'm in that range there, Deb.
Speaker 1: What would love to hear from our listeners? Do you
Speaker 1: think sleeping too much is bad for you? And sometimes
Speaker 1: you feel a bit groggy out of sorts, don't you?
Speaker 5: Deb?
Speaker 1: If you sleep a lot sleep in?
Speaker 44: Oh yeah, and look that can happen even if you
Speaker 44: decide to have a bit of a sleep in thinking
Speaker 44: you need to touch up. You wake up with that
Speaker 44: what we call sleep inertia, and you really you wake
Speaker 44: up feeling worse than what you did before.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we had a bit of fun earlier on the show.
Speaker 1: Deb Sean, our executive producer, has just moved back in
Speaker 1: with his mum and dad and he's having dinner ahead,
Speaker 1: dinner at five point thirty last night. A lot of
Speaker 1: our listeners they reckon you have dinner early so you
Speaker 1: can digest you food before you go to bed. What
Speaker 1: does nine I think?
Speaker 44: Yeah, look, certainly, going to bed on a full stomach
Speaker 44: of food is not going to be necessarily a good
Speaker 44: thing for you. And often the reason is because you've
Speaker 44: got all those digestion and all your major organs are
Speaker 44: slowing down ready for sleep, and that full coming is
Speaker 44: going to mean that you have every chance that you're
Speaker 44: going to have reflux, which is then going to make
Speaker 44: you feel awful. It's going to affect your sleep. You
Speaker 44: don't want to be sleeping, sorry, you don't want to
Speaker 44: be eating in.
Speaker 1: That hour before bed, okay, And little micro sleeps deep
Speaker 1: here and there, a little little nap in the car
Speaker 1: at school pickup or micro sleeps are okay.
Speaker 44: But if you're finding that you can't get through a
Speaker 44: day without meeting and that, then you're not getting enough
Speaker 44: sleep at night. But certainly a micro sleep means a
Speaker 44: micro sleep no more than fifteen twenty minutes. Once you
Speaker 44: get into deep sleep too much, you're going to have
Speaker 44: trouble falling asleep at night.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I gotcha. Now, I don't think i've ever asked
Speaker 1: you this. Do you sleep okay? Being a sleep.
Speaker 17: Expert, Look, I do sleep okay.
Speaker 44: But the thing is, what I know with all my
Speaker 44: qualifications and experience is when I have bad sleep, and
Speaker 44: we all do. It's absolutely part of the normal sleep
Speaker 44: cycles to have bad sleep. I don't worry about it,
Speaker 44: and that's the difference between having insomnia or not having insomnia.
Speaker 44: Those people that worry about it, they're just going to
Speaker 44: perpetually keep around that.
Speaker 1: I could not agree more. I've got mates. You just
Speaker 1: talk about it incessantly, unrelentingly, about you iding enough sleep
Speaker 1: every day, all day, every day.
Speaker 44: Yes, yes, it's some people are absolutely possessive about their
Speaker 44: sleep habits. And really, even though we know that there's
Speaker 44: so much knowledge out there now about sleep, people are
Speaker 44: either not motivated to get it sorted out, or otherwise
Speaker 44: they don't know where to go, so they go to
Speaker 44: all the wrong places to get their sleep.
Speaker 1: Sorted yeah, or they're just happy about crapping on about
Speaker 1: it and talking about all the time make everybody else unhappy. Hey, Dev,
Speaker 1: really nice to talk to you. Thank you. Deb Herban
Speaker 1: is a sleep expert from nine Eyes. Thanks Deb. So yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a good name, isn't it for a company? Twenty
Speaker 1: seven and a half minutes past midday? Sleeping too much?
Speaker 1: What do you reckon? Can sleep too much? You must
Speaker 1: have needed it as their mums would say. One double
Speaker 1: three eight to eighty two. So if you're between twenty
Speaker 1: six and sixty four, seven and nine hours is ideal.
Speaker 1: And I do reckon. There are people, these people in
Speaker 1: my life who just talk about I didn't enough to
Speaker 1: sleep all the time, and it just runs their life.
Speaker 1: It's annoying, really annoying. Twenty eight minutes twelve up to
Speaker 1: you from today? Can you sleep too much? Do you reckon?
Speaker 1: We're going to come back in just a moment. I
Speaker 1: have a musical question for you, given that the price
Speaker 1: of the ac DC tickets are out today, I want
Speaker 1: to ask you about concert memorabilia. Do you have concert memorability?
Speaker 1: Do you have a ticket stub, an event program, a
Speaker 1: T shirt? Do you have concert memorabilia? And James and
Speaker 1: I will play some songs, some live songs from your artists,
Speaker 1: the artists of your choosing. Do you have concert memorabilia

Speaker 1: a concert. Well, I've got a couple of things.

Speaker 45: last tour, which was at Trumpskol Capricornia. And at the
Speaker 45: end he's done the old bang on the drums and
Speaker 45: the sticks have gone in and we've gone up higher
