WEBVTT - Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard – Full Show June 23rd 0:00:11.119 --> 0:00:16.640 Onto GV. This is sitting now with Clinton Maynard. 0:00:17.040 --> 0:00:19.599 Monday, June twenty three. It is Clinton Maynard back with you. 0:00:19.680 --> 0:00:21.920 One three one eight seven three is our number. Stunning 0:00:22.000 --> 0:00:24.960 winters afternoon, you'd be mistaken for thinking it's spring. Well 0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:27.200 maybe not early in the morning. It's still very cold 0:00:27.240 --> 0:00:29.240 in the morning. If you drive past a service station 0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:32.120 this afternoon you see petrol around the Douglas seven year lead, 0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:35.400 please pill up. The official message from the NROMA today 0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:37.199 and we will talk to them on the show is 0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:39.559 the petrol prices are about to go up, and potentially 0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:41.720 significantly so, and this is because of the war in 0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:44.599 the Middle East. The wholesale price actually increased by eight 0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:47.240 cents about a week ago and that's yet to really 0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:50.560 take effect at service stations, but it's going to coming 0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:53.159 up on the program. Nurses have been railing outside westmeat 0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:58.280 Hospital this afternoon, claiming maternity resources are savagely under what's 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:01.639 expected at the hospital, to the point babies are being 0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:05.000 treated in corridors and storerooms. Now the government's denying that 0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:07.199 and the Health Minister Ryan Park will hold a meeting 0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:10.280 at Westmead later this week. But I'll talk to a 0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:13.240 midwife on the show a little later. New research shows 0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:16.600 getting too much sleep could actually lead to an early death. 0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:19.080 I'll talk to a sleep expert about exactly how much 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:21.200 sleep we should be getting. Mark Guy with all the 0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:23.720 news on the weekend's Footy, and I will be spinning 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:28.280 two GB's Winter Wheel, your chance to win hundreds, maybe thousands. 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:30.480 We gave away two and a half thousand dollars on Friday, 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:33.039 so this is the program to play the Winter Wheel. 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:35.520 Don't call yet. Don't call yet. You need to be 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:37.440 listening for the qu to call. You are my eyes 0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:39.480 and ears when it's happening in Sydney now, so send 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:41.839 me a text message zero four s zero eight seven 0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:44.319 three eight seven three our number one three one eight 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:55.160 seven three. Well, right now I am looking at vision 0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:59.040 of a humpback whale that is clearly in distress off 0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:03.360 Sydney's northern ba. This whale is off it's off Palm 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:06.480 Beach at the moment, first discovered in some trouble by 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:09.760 drones that have been deployed. It is tangled in a 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:12.799 large long line, probably about one hundred and fifty meters worth. 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:15.720 I can see that the whale now tossing. Now there's 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:19.520 an operation that's undergoing to try to free this whale 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:22.160 from being tangled in this line. It is being led 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:25.840 by National Parks and Wildlife. Chad Western joins me. Chad, 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:27.640 I'm looking at the vision at the moment and this 0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:30.680 is an operation that's been going on for about an 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:33.320 hour an hour. What can you tell us. 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:35.440 Hello, mate? Well, I'm pleased to say that most of 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:38.200 the lines now been removed from the animal. There's still 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:41.440 a few pieces we're working on. But the team became 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:44.120 aware of it into the evening last night when it 0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:46.919 was in the Manly area right and this morning we 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:50.200 stood up for our large Whale Disentanglement team and they've 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:53.080 been out on the water since around eleven o'clock today 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:58.000 with the assistance of ORCA and Marine Rescue and water Police, 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:01.320 and they've managed to free most of the rope, so 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:03.600 you're right there that it was about one hundred and 0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:08.760 fifty meters of line with four boys wrapped around the body, 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:13.280 the peck fins and tail, and they've removed most of 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:16.800 that now. They've got probably a single wrap left on 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:20.840 the pectoral ring pectoral fin and they're working on that 0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:22.359 now and hopefully they'll be back ashore soon. 0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:22.680 Right. 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:25.200 I can see the whale at the moment, and it's 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:28.000 actually tossing over, so it was on its back just 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:30.200 a few moments ago. And the line that I can 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:32.120 see in the water, it's difficult because this is in 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:35.320 the deep blue water off the coast. I can see 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:38.560 clearly one line and there's a white boy on that line. 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:40.800 So would that be just the last remaining piece of 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:42.200 line that's tangling this whale? 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:45.320 Yeah, And I'm not sure when the imagery you're looking 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:48.880 at is from. And you're right around the drone assistance 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:52.680 provided by agencies like Walker. They've been flying out drones 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:56.080 and having a look at the entanglement and then sharing 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:58.120 it with us and our team on the ground so 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:02.720 that they can target those pieces. But the immediate advice, 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:04.800 because I've been working with the team all day, is 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:07.840 that most of it has been removed, with a single 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:11.120 wrap remaining on that left right in and a small 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:15.520 piece at the mouth which is free and we hope 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:16.240 it will Dislidge. 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:16.440 Well. 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:18.840 Your cruise have done a great job. Because I was 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:21.480 watching a little earlier where this is about half an 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:24.719 hour ago, where three of your officers that are in 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:28.320 a red dinghy that says Wildlife Rescue on the side 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:30.360 of it. They were as probably as close as they 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:33.680 could safely get. And I guess are they manipulating the 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:36.080 tools they use to try to disentangle the whale? 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:38.760 Yeah, exactly, so what they what they do? Obviously, we 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:40.719 take a fair bit of time just to monitor the 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.839 whale first to understand its behavior and how we'll respond 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:46.760 to approach, and to see where it's at with its 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:48.880 behavior with respective fatigue as well. 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:49.480 Obviously you can. 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:52.520 Imagine these will I'm quite tired, wrapped in in gear. 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:54.719 And then what they do is they attach boys we 0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:59.680 call kegs and a sea sale in the in the 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.400 efforts to slow it down even further and just make 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:05.200 it a bit more tired so that when it's approached, 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:08.920 we can better predict that its behaviors. 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:11.560 Okay, so yeah. 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:12.760 I can see at the moment that that dinghy with 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:16.160 three people on board is probably about twenty five thirty 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:18.240 meters away from the whale right now, I'm actually looking 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:21.920 at some live vision Curtesy of our Channel nine helicopters. Great, once, Craig, 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:26.160 once this line is completely untangled, is the whale going 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:28.800 to be Okay? It's to continue on its northern migration. Well, 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.599 you need to monitor the whale for a little while and. 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:35.920 There will be some monitoring as best we can given there, 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:38.560 you know, freeing out of the open ocean. We do 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:40.640 also consider whether we need to put a track on it. So, 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:43.160 for example, if we can't get that pectoral line off, 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:45.400 will consider if we need to put a tracker on it, 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:47.560 and then we can pick it up over the next 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:51.120 day and re engage if we can. 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:53.159 Okay, good work so far. Thank you, Chad. 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:54.599 You're welcome. 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:57.120 Thank you Chad Western who's some National Parks and wildlife. 0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:58.760 So as he explains that they're nearing the end of 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.400 this operation that's been going now for several hours. I've 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:03.400 been watching it over the past hour and I can 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:06.640 see live vision and this is off Palm Beach and 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:10.360 there's now two rubber duckies. These are wildlife rubber duckies 0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:14.120 about thirty to forty meters away from the whale, and 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:16.320 at times they do need to get closer with three 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:18.640 people on board, and it would appear that there's just 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:23.000 one piece now of line that is wrapped around part 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:26.039 of the whales. One of the whales fins but it 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:28.640 looks like they've managed to get most of that line 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:30.320 away from the whale. Part of it was tangled in 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.040 the mouth at one point, so hopefully soon this whale 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:35.400 will be fully free and able to continue on its 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:37.520 journey north Sydney. 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:39.520 Now on to GB. 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.520 Thirteen past three. There's been a string of fires across 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:45.760 Sydney's western suburbs today. Three cars were found to light 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:48.920 in West Hoxton's and Preston's and a tattoo parlor was 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:52.000 also set a light in Westmeat. Aaron Ramsey from nine 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:53.600 News has been on the scene of these fires today. 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:56.320 Hello erin good afternoon. 0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:58.640 These fires have now been extinguished. Do you know if 0:06:58.640 --> 0:06:59.560 they're all linked together? 0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:04.279 Well, that is certainly at the forefront of all the 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:07.440 investigations at the moment. Quite a bit to get through 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:10.200 for all the local police at the moment. 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:11.320 Kicking us off. 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:15.440 Around three o'clock this morning, a privately owned gym at 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:19.360 Marylands was fire bombed, the front door smashed in. Now 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:22.160 one man was working out inside fitness hub when it 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:25.280 was attacked. He was escorted out later by fire crews, 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:28.640 drenched from the fire sprinklers, but otherwise okay. About one 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:31.400 hundred residents in that unit block above the gym had 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:35.840 to be evacuated. Meanwhile, around almost exactly the same time, 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:39.120 more fire crews were also called to eight what was 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:41.960 initially thought to be a tattoo parlor but turns out 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:45.560 is actually a barbershop that hasn't been there for very long, 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:48.080 only a couple of months. They were called the railway 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:52.160 parade at Westmead where that barbershop was also well alighted 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:55.480 to believed arsonists were responsible for that one. Two bakers 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:58.520 working downstairs say they saw two people running away, one 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:01.520 holding a hammer and the other holding a petrol cannut. 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:05.280 Pool business was absolutely destroyed, and of course the Liverpool 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:08.560 Police are also investigating two separate car fire incidents. As 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:11.760 you mentioned, just before midnight two car parks in the 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:14.880 driveway of a family home at West Hoxton they were 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:18.680 deliberately set alight. And then around three o'clock this morning, 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:20.720 so about an hour or so about after the gym 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:25.560 and barbershop fires, two figures were captured on CCTV setting 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:29.480 a Mazda Suv a light outside a home at Preston. 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:33.800 So at this stage it's all being investigated separately with 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:37.280 the assistants from the arson squad, but there still could 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:38.960 be some links made. 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:41.079 Yeah, and given we're talking about a barbershop, there have 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:44.040 been some barbershops target as part of this ongoing Sydney 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:46.199 gang war as well. I hear that the bakers that 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:49.760 helped put that fire out did an amazing job themselves. 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:53.960 Oh yeah, incredible. Unfortunately the business couldn't be saved, and 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:56.199 because it's tucked away in a complex, a few of 0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:59.400 the other businesses were also damaged, so they're also shut 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:01.839 down for today, which is really tough on those small 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:05.160 business owners. But it's incredibly lucky that those bakers were 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:08.600 there to start putting out that fire, and by the 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.200 sounds of it, are key witnesses in trying to find 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:12.600 who's responsible for that fire. 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:14.600 Aaron will see your report on nine to night. Thank you, 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:17.400 Thank you, Aaron Ramsey. You'll see all the vision on 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:19.880 Channel nine tonight one, three, one, eight, seven, three, sixteen 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:22.160 past three. The latest in the Middle East. The development 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:25.920 today is that Anthony Albanezi has finally spoken. The Prime 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:28.800 Minister has now fully supported the US strikes. 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:33.080 The world has long agreed that Iran cannot be allowed 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:37.280 to get a nuclear weapon, and we support action to 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:38.439 prevent that. 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:39.520 That is what this is. 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:43.520 The US action was directed at specific site central to 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:47.960 Iran's nuclear program. We don't want escalation and a full 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:53.079 scale war. We continue to call for dialogue and for diplomacy. 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:57.079 As I've said for many days now, we are deeply 0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:00.719 concerned about any escalation in the region and we want 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:03.920 to see diplomacy, dialogue and de escalation. 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:06.400 The PM says he's been saying that for many days now, 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:08.480 but he did not make comments over the weekend. He 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:11.959 did not speak about this yesterday after Donald Trump made 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:14.320 his announcement from the White House, and the Prime Minister 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:16.400 has been criticized for that, for waiting more than twenty 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:18.680 four hours to make his statement. He's been quizzed about 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:20.960 that today and he says, well, this was unilateral action 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:24.400 from the United States and a statement was released. More 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:26.920 than four thousand people have now asked our government for 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:30.120 help in leaving Israel and the Middle East as this 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:35.000 tension continues. The US has indicated that the airspace will 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:38.160 still be open for a little while to assist with 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:42.360 evacuation flights foreigners to Penny Wong says this may be 0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:44.240 a chance for US to actually get in there and 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:45.640 help evacuate our citizens. 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:48.240 Obviously this is very fluid, but we are seeking to 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:53.320 make arrangements to utilize that window if we are able, 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:56.520 and we have advised Australians on the ground of that fact. 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.520 The foreign mister Pennywong well I said it felt like spring. 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:01.320 It's twenty two degrees in the coast at the moment, 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:04.320 twenty degrees in Penrith. There is a flood alert for 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:07.520 the Tempe Bridge the Cooks River. This is a warning 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:10.240 from the Bureau. Minor flooding possible at high tide this 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:13.520 evening on the Tempey Bridge. High tide might cause flooding 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:16.800 along the Cooks River sometime this evening and then again 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:20.160 on high tide tomorrow night. So the Cooks River Bridge 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:23.000 Tempi it may reach the minor flood level of one 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:25.480 point three meters word on the street thanks to Temper 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:28.079 a great night's sleep night after night. The difference is temper. 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:30.160 If there's something you want us to investigate, send me 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:33.480 an email t GB dot com. Now one of our listeners, David, 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:36.600 has done just that. As you know on the first 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:40.000 of July, so next week your power prices are going 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:43.040 to go up. When this was announced by an EMO 0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:45.520 a couple of weeks back, we were told that the 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:49.160 default market offer in New South Wales would increase by 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:53.319 between eight point three percent and nine point seven percent. 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:56.160 And unfortunately the increases in New South Wales are larger 0:11:56.480 --> 0:12:00.320 than increases in other states. That's for just household now. 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:02.560 The default market offer means that if you don't have 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:06.520 a contract with a particularly particular energy retailer, you pay 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:10.240 the default market offer. The price rises would add between 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:12.680 seventy one and two hundred and twenty eight dollars to 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:16.120 the annual bill of the average customer. So on a 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:21.880 default market offer it would increase potentially between one nine 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:25.080 hundred and sixty five dollars per year and two thy 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:27.000 seven hundred and forty one A big gap there. It 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:30.360 depends on your own circumstances. Well, David has sent me 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:33.160 some detail over the weekend of what's happening with his 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:36.600 energy bill and he's with a link to energy and 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:39.160 he received an email last week, a letter in the 0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:42.080 mar last week. He's done the calculations about what his 0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:45.040 bill is going to increase by. He calculates that his 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:49.400 costs will increase by twenty seven point seven nine percent 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:53.440 based on his last six monthly bills. The total cost 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:56.880 will rise by eight hundred and sixty four dollars, not 0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:59.480 by what has been publicized, And he's actually sent me 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:02.000 the detail, and I'm just having a look at his bill, 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:04.280 and he's done the calculations here because the Link Energy 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:09.440 themselves haven't done the calculations. But for peak usage, the 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:13.480 tariff per killer what hour is fifty one cents point 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:16.120 five to three five at the moment, it's going to 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:19.040 increase to sixty five point eight seven nine cents now 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:22.560 based on the calculation, that's an increase of twenty seven 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:25.920 point eight three percent. And then David's gone through the 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:29.280 off peak increase which is also more than twenty seven percent, 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:32.800 the shoulder increase which is twenty seven percent, the controlled 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:35.400 load usage to increase which is more than five percent, 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:37.760 and then the daily charge that they whack you with, 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:40.040 which is an increase of seven point one four percent. 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:43.760 So overall, his calculation is his bills are going to 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:47.320 increase by eight hundred and sixty four dollars, which is 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:50.439 twenty seven point seven nine percent. But then from AEMO 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:54.720 residential customers will see price increases between eight point five 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:57.360 and nine point one percent does not add up. Well, 0:13:57.400 --> 0:13:59.120 we'll try and speak with the Link of Energy this 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:00.840 week to see if you can get an explanation. 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:01.760 Now. 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:05.000 I was also sent on Friday a letter from Energy 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:07.120 Australia and I didn't open it still until this morning 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:08.600 because I thought it was a bill, but I thought 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:11.360 I better open it. And it's changes to my electricity 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:13.880 rates and I'm on the default market offer because I 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:15.599 don't have a contract. Now, I haven't gone through it 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:17.840 yet because it's two pages of gobbllygooks, so I actually 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:22.440 need to put some research into it. But well, we'll 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:24.120 talk to all the grandergy about what's going on here 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:27.120 with David's bills. But you tell me most of us 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:29.520 if we're not on a contract. We'll have now received 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:32.040 one of these letters in the mail about what the 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:37.040 increase is. Do the calculation and let me know percentage 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:39.080 wise what your bill is going to go up by 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:41.720 let me know. You can email me two GB dot 0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:43.720 com or give me a call one three one eight 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:55.000 seven three. Well, they are coming. We alluded to this 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:58.000 last week when word came through that ac DC would 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:00.440 be playing at the MCG later this year. Well, they 0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:03.720 will be coming here to Sydney November twenty one. Tickets 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:07.400 are on sale through ticker tech on Thursday. At the moment, 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:10.120 there's only one show plan. They're going to talk to 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:13.440 Peter Ford about this in a few minutes, because yes, 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:16.520 the members of ac DC will particularly Brian Johnson and 0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:19.080 Angus Young are in their seventies. Now question will be 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:21.560 will they play more than one gig? They will certainly 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:25.000 have demand for it. Stack of text messages here and 0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:27.640 a lot of feedback about electricity prices. Brad says, my 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:30.600 electricity price is going up by sixteen point five percent 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:33.440 from July one. The solar feeding drops from five cents 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:36.880 to four cents. Ben says, I'm with power Shop Killoud. 0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:39.480 Our price per sense is going up by twenty one percent. 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:42.720 The daily price is up by six percent. Coming up 0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:44.880 in a moment, Peter Ford. Let's check out his headlines. 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:49.400 Good afternoon, Katie Fuller. 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:52.560 Good afternoon Clinton. A rescue team is monitoring a waale 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:55.800 whish he has been tangled in Natoff Sydney's Northern Beaches. 0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:59.120 Rescuers have managed to cut most of the rope away 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:02.600 from the humpback. The delicate operation hampered at times. Is 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:06.400 the whale thrashed in the water. The Health Minister insists 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:09.600 he'll meet with a frustrated group of nurses at Westmeat 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:13.960 Hospital who've staged a snap lunchtime rally. Dozens went on 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:16.840 strike for half an hour demanding better staffing in the 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:22.000 hospital's neonatal intensive care unit. Boosting social housing is being 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:25.520 put forward as an idea to alleviate the pressure facing renters. 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:29.240 A survey shows nearly seventy percent of tenants are worried 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:33.400 about asking for repairs, fearing they'll face a rent increase 0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:37.320 or eviction, and local students have taken out the International 0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:42.280 Rocket Engineering competition. The Sydney University team's rocket soared above 0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:46.480 ten thousand feet in sport Big Bash. Hero Mitchell Owen 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:49.960 has starred in America's Major League cricket. He's taken three 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:53.360 for thirty three, then blasted eighty nine or fifty two 0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:57.280 bulls in Washington's seven wicket win over the Texas Super Kings. 0:16:57.480 --> 0:16:59.080 Clinton More news at four. 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:01.320 Thak Kati twenty two degrees in the cost twenty four 0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:04.200 degrees in Rootie Hill I cack. The Independent Commission Against 0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:06.880 Coruption has just announced a new corruption inquiry. I'll bring 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:10.479 you some details in a moment. Just on energy prices, Richard, 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:11.960 are you copying a big increase? 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:17.119 Yeah, yeah, Hi Clinton. We've received ours from Red Energy 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:20.840 back in the beginning of the middle of June for 0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:26.159 the first of July, think interests increased by courtesy of 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:31.720 Albanese and blowing in the wind, bowing. Our peak level 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:34.960 for electricity is going to be up eleven point three 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:39.920 eight percent, and our gas because of the same provider, 0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:42.439 is going up twelve point zero four percent. 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:44.399 So do you know if you're on the default market 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:48.280 offer or if you're on a different arrangement already it's. 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:51.120 They noted in here. As a result of this change 0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:54.439 of reading out, your electricity rates are now five percent 0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:58.359 more than the reference price. We're starying. We'll probably stay 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:01.399 with Red Edgy. We've got solar and that's been like 0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:03.360 the previous call or one of the things you put 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:06.600 out that's been cut down, the cut by one cent. 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:10.480 So not ere have we been smacked by electricity courtesy 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:15.000 or the Albanese government is insanity and a refusal to 0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:18.480 use more gas In Australia, we're getting hit by the 0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:22.520 gas prices because we're exporting it offs subsidized the communists 0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:29.840 China and other places, but where reasonably were reasonably all right. 0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:34.000 I feel sorry for small business and everybody else who 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:39.000 was struggling left, right and center, but unfortunately stupidity and 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:40.960 how a lot of people that lead up to the 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:43.119 third of May, and we voted this among wolf back in. 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:46.000 We certainly voted them back in. You're right, Richard, and 0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:48.160 good on you for highlighting small business because that then 0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:50.720 flows onto everything else that's affected. I'm just having a 0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:53.560 look at now what's happening off the coast of Palm Beach. 0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:57.520 This is now the closest that the dinghy with three people, 0:18:57.600 --> 0:19:00.679 the wildlife rescued dingy has been to the humpback. So 0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:05.200 it's just one line still attached to this whale, tangled 0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:08.240 in one of the whales fins. The dinghy looks like 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:11.119 it got within about two to three meters, so it 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:13.200 may have been some of the rescue crews on board 0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:15.320 with actually trying to reach out. I mean, I actually 0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:17.520 don't know how they actually managed to do without scuba 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:22.080 diving in there. But this is the closest they've been yet, 0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:24.160 so right, at the moment, it looks like that line 0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:28.600 is still tangled around the whales finn but they are close. 0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:41.960 They are close to freeing this whale. Well, they're going 0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:43.879 to shake us all night long. Come the end of 0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:46.600 the year, ac DC will be touring the country and 0:19:46.640 --> 0:19:47.919 they will be coming here to Sydney. 0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:51.159 Hello Peter Ford, Hello Clinton. So it came to pass. 0:19:51.280 --> 0:19:53.680 It certainly had been a lot of speculation and talk 0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:56.639 and at six point thirty this morning, a very coordinated 0:19:56.760 --> 0:20:00.320 drop on all social media and press releases to that 0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:03.800 those concerts are happening in November into December, and I 0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:05.600 think if you take a look at the way the 0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:09.040 tour is structured, they certainly intend to add more shows. 0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:09.560 Now. 0:20:09.600 --> 0:20:12.640 The way ACDC tour at the moment is that they 0:20:12.720 --> 0:20:15.680 do a show night, then they have three nights off, 0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:18.600 then another show night, three nights off. That's the way 0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:21.879 it's going in Europe, and that's to accommodate for their age. 0:20:21.920 --> 0:20:24.879 So you look at it at the moment. Currently, the 0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:27.800 first show is in Melbourne on the twelfth of November 0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:31.320 and then there's not another show according to the Today's list, 0:20:31.720 --> 0:20:35.439 until the twenty first to November. In Sydney, so clearly 0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:37.800 they're going to add one more in there, and then 0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:40.240 they'll add another one in Sydney as well. They won't 0:20:40.280 --> 0:20:42.800 add an extra one for Adelaide because in Adelaide they're 0:20:42.840 --> 0:20:45.840 actually doing the show there under the banner of the 0:20:45.880 --> 0:20:49.360 BP Grand Final, the sort of pretend Gode Prix they 0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:52.000 have there now, so they won't add an extra one there. 0:20:52.040 --> 0:20:52.200 Well. 0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:54.840 That one's actually massive And when I first read about 0:20:54.840 --> 0:20:57.000 this this morning early, it was actually on a motorsport 0:20:57.040 --> 0:20:58.840 website because IM a bit of a motorsport not Pete. 0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:00.879 So I read about the fact that ac DC are 0:21:00.880 --> 0:21:04.440 playing the grand finale of the Supercars season and it 0:21:04.960 --> 0:21:06.800 seemed to be a massive deal, the fact they've got 0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:09.080 ac DC the play and this is where the old 0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:10.760 Grand Prix used to be in Adelaide. It's now the 0:21:10.800 --> 0:21:12.920 last round of the Supercars. When we talk about the 0:21:12.920 --> 0:21:16.600 AFL and our NRL, we get excited if maybe somebody 0:21:16.640 --> 0:21:19.399 like the Lake Meatloafe plays or Billy Idle they've got 0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:22.040 ac DC. That's a massive coup for them. 0:21:22.200 --> 0:21:24.359 Yeah, it's a good cup. And in the old days, 0:21:24.359 --> 0:21:26.480 when Adelaide really did have the Grand Prix, they used 0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:29.359 to get huge name people to come and perform on 0:21:29.400 --> 0:21:32.520 the last day. You know, Shared did it actually, And 0:21:32.560 --> 0:21:36.200 funnily enough, the Lord Mayor of the Adelaide presented Share 0:21:36.440 --> 0:21:39.600 with the key to the city at about ten years 0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:43.560 ago in the garage sale in Beverly Hills. That key 0:21:43.600 --> 0:21:46.320 to the City of Adelaide was actually on sales. I 0:21:46.320 --> 0:21:48.800 don't think Share exactly, President. 0:21:49.320 --> 0:21:52.000 So you will be fairly confident that ac DC would 0:21:52.000 --> 0:21:53.960 add second shows to Sydney and Melbourne. 0:21:54.080 --> 0:21:56.600 Yeah, they won't announce it until Thursday. They may not 0:21:56.640 --> 0:21:58.760 even announce it on Thursday, but the tickets go on 0:21:58.840 --> 0:22:00.960 sale then and they will sell out. 0:22:00.960 --> 0:22:02.399 There's no question question about that. 0:22:02.480 --> 0:22:05.159 And certainly I think probably in the day or so 0:22:05.280 --> 0:22:07.000 after that, they'll announce the extra shows. 0:22:07.119 --> 0:22:09.200 When Taylor Swift came here to Sydney a couple of 0:22:09.240 --> 0:22:11.320 years ago, when Coldplay, we hear about a year or 0:22:11.359 --> 0:22:14.360 so ago they played force shows at a Core Stadium. 0:22:14.960 --> 0:22:17.480 Just given I'm not being ages here, but the fact 0:22:17.520 --> 0:22:20.880 that Angus Young is seventy bron Johnson's seventy seven, would 0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:23.200 you think four shows would be a little too much? 0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:26.080 Probably, I would have thought four shows might have been 0:22:26.119 --> 0:22:26.719 stretching it. 0:22:26.880 --> 0:22:27.080 You know. 0:22:27.200 --> 0:22:30.000 Interestingly in Melbourne they're playing at the MCG, which is 0:22:30.080 --> 0:22:32.280 quite rare. We don't have a lot of shows go 0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:36.880 into the MCG anymore, partly because the sound is usually terrible. 0:22:37.440 --> 0:22:39.760 But in the case of ac DC, I don't think 0:22:39.760 --> 0:22:42.240 it's going to be in such a massive issue. But yeah, 0:22:42.280 --> 0:22:44.840 it's going to be a huge tour. It's like homecoming 0:22:45.000 --> 0:22:46.720 heroes coming back after ten years. 0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:49.080 It'll be just a huge events. Whether you're a fan 0:22:49.200 --> 0:22:51.080 or not, going to be a massive event. You mentioned 0:22:51.119 --> 0:22:54.679 last week that Rebel Wilson's movie wasn't getting great reviews. Well, 0:22:54.720 --> 0:22:55.280 it's tanked. 0:22:55.920 --> 0:22:58.000 Yeah, I thought she might have had a chance. I 0:22:58.040 --> 0:23:01.600 thought perhaps her crowd might not have cared about reviews. 0:23:01.800 --> 0:23:03.760 You know, they know Rebel's going to do a fun, 0:23:03.880 --> 0:23:07.199 silly movie, whether the critics like it or not. But 0:23:07.640 --> 0:23:12.080 they didn't go. Over the weekend, bride Hard was showing 0:23:12.320 --> 0:23:15.399 stack of cinemas right across America. It took in less 0:23:15.600 --> 0:23:20.080 than one million dollars in total across America, so basically, 0:23:20.520 --> 0:23:22.720 you know, they took more money over the popcorn counter 0:23:22.760 --> 0:23:25.520 than they did for ticket sales. But it's not being 0:23:25.560 --> 0:23:28.480 released during Australia until the end of July. If indeed 0:23:28.480 --> 0:23:30.760 it does get released, they may have some question marks 0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:31.159 about that. 0:23:31.240 --> 0:23:34.200 Now, So would that be a possibility that the reviews 0:23:34.240 --> 0:23:36.159 end up being so bad doesn't go well overseas, they 0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:37.479 just don't bother putting it out here. 0:23:37.560 --> 0:23:40.320 Yeah, it's possible, you know, they could put it straight 0:23:40.359 --> 0:23:43.640 onto a streaming service or something. They might just think 0:23:43.880 --> 0:23:47.679 unless you open simultaneously and everyone has a chance. But 0:23:47.760 --> 0:23:50.480 now the word's going to filter around that it's bombed, 0:23:51.200 --> 0:23:53.720 I would think it's probably a waste of time to 0:23:53.760 --> 0:23:54.600 open it here now. 0:23:54.760 --> 0:23:56.199 Okay, we'll talk again tomorrow. 0:23:56.400 --> 0:23:57.080 Thanks Clinton. 0:23:57.200 --> 0:24:00.240 Breaking news off Palm Beach. It looks like the wale 0:24:00.280 --> 0:24:02.960 has now been freed. So the humpback whale that's been 0:24:03.000 --> 0:24:05.640 caught up in about one hundred and fifty meters worth 0:24:05.720 --> 0:24:08.960 of line, and it was actually discovered by drones and 0:24:09.000 --> 0:24:13.320 it was much further south of Manly, and it's whale 0:24:13.320 --> 0:24:15.440 has made its way up the coast while it's been 0:24:15.480 --> 0:24:17.320 tangled in this line, and then this has been the 0:24:17.359 --> 0:24:20.080 operation throughout the day that's been led by National Parks 0:24:20.080 --> 0:24:22.840 and Wildlife to try and free it. I'm just looking 0:24:22.840 --> 0:24:25.919 again at some live pictures that are coming to me 0:24:26.040 --> 0:24:29.280 from the Channel nine helicopter and it looks like these 0:24:29.320 --> 0:24:33.920 wildlife rescue crews have successfully freed the whale. Now they'll 0:24:33.960 --> 0:24:37.400 continue to monitor the humpback and will it will continue 0:24:37.440 --> 0:24:39.760 heading up the coast. But it would obviously be distressed, 0:24:39.760 --> 0:24:41.800 it would be quite fatigued by what it's been through. 0:24:41.840 --> 0:24:44.280 You could see it thrashing around. You'll see all this 0:24:44.600 --> 0:24:47.480 on nine years tonight. It was thrashing around as these 0:24:47.600 --> 0:24:50.679 crews were delicately trying to free it from all this 0:24:50.760 --> 0:24:53.960 whale from the line. But the crews are now getting 0:24:54.000 --> 0:24:57.040 back on board a larger vessel. This is well off 0:24:57.080 --> 0:25:00.480 the coast of Palm Beach, so successfully it looks like 0:25:00.480 --> 0:25:22.560 they've freed the humpback. So ac DC will be back 0:25:22.680 --> 0:25:26.160 on the twenty first of November, and as Peter Ford explains, 0:25:26.160 --> 0:25:29.440 they'll probably play another show in Sydney, probably two tickets 0:25:29.440 --> 0:25:32.640 to go on sale nine o'clock Thursday morning through ticket Tech. 0:25:32.680 --> 0:25:34.439 We'll actually talk to ticket Tech a little later in 0:25:34.440 --> 0:25:36.080 the week because they are putting a message out to 0:25:36.119 --> 0:25:38.080 be careful of scams that are going to be out there. 0:25:38.119 --> 0:25:39.840 It is going to be a massive event for Sydney. 0:25:39.880 --> 0:25:43.159 Whether you're like ac DC or not, and a lot 0:25:43.160 --> 0:25:45.159 of people just want to go along for the historic 0:25:45.240 --> 0:25:48.680 nature of the event. Who's the best Heritage act you've 0:25:48.680 --> 0:25:51.520 ever seen? And look, I say Heritage Ack with respect. 0:25:52.240 --> 0:25:55.320 Angus Young is seventy, Brian Johnson, the lead singer is 0:25:55.440 --> 0:25:57.960 seventy seven, and we actually are seeing more of these 0:25:58.080 --> 0:26:01.720 bands from the seventies. Even prior to that, Rolling Stones 0:26:01.720 --> 0:26:05.040 are still touring overseas, even though Charlie what has since passed. 0:26:05.480 --> 0:26:07.919 We are seeing some of these biggest national tours continue 0:26:07.920 --> 0:26:09.440 because this is where the money is to be made 0:26:09.520 --> 0:26:11.680 in the music scene these days, not so much selling 0:26:11.680 --> 0:26:15.280 of albums, its tours. Who's the best Heritageack you've seen? 0:26:15.680 --> 0:26:17.960 Paul McCartney from a couple of years ago. Let me 0:26:18.000 --> 0:26:20.240 know three one, eight seven three, it's a quarter of 0:26:20.240 --> 0:26:22.520 the four. Just repeating that news. Off the coast of 0:26:22.560 --> 0:26:24.840 Palm Beach, the whale of the humpback whale that's been 0:26:24.880 --> 0:26:27.240 tangled in a long line, about one hundred and fifty 0:26:27.200 --> 0:26:29.359 meters worth of line with four boys attached to it. 0:26:29.359 --> 0:26:32.480 It has now been freed by National Parks and Wildlife Officers. 0:26:32.560 --> 0:26:35.639 IKAK has confirmed they will begin a public inquiry in 0:26:35.680 --> 0:26:38.159 a couple of weeks time on Monday, the fourteenth of 0:26:38.240 --> 0:26:42.120 July into allegations have been made against employees of Transport 0:26:42.119 --> 0:26:44.600 for New South Wales. This stems from an investigation that's 0:26:44.640 --> 0:26:48.000 been led by a current affair about a whistleblower who 0:26:48.080 --> 0:26:50.680 has witnessed corruption. It is claim worth one hundred and 0:26:50.760 --> 0:26:55.320 ten million dollars inside Transport for New South Wales ACA 0:26:55.400 --> 0:26:58.080 through Steve Marshall aired these allegations a couple of weeks 0:26:58.119 --> 0:27:01.119 ago and it's claimed that the whistleblower, who was working 0:27:01.320 --> 0:27:03.520 in the Transport for New South Wales office in Eunora, 0:27:04.400 --> 0:27:07.640 found out about a particular company that was being preferred 0:27:07.680 --> 0:27:10.480 over all others in relation to major contracts that were 0:27:10.520 --> 0:27:13.960 being awarded by Transport for New South Wales staff worth 0:27:14.000 --> 0:27:16.320 one hundred and ten million dollars. Well Ikak just this 0:27:16.400 --> 0:27:20.000 afternoon has now confirmed they will be holding a public 0:27:20.040 --> 0:27:24.480 inquiry into this. It will be examining employees who dishonestly 0:27:24.720 --> 0:27:29.200 allegedly exercised official functions by awarding contracts or favoring companies 0:27:30.040 --> 0:27:36.080 regarding safety barriers, Ashfeldt, line marking, bitumen, spray, ceiling panels 0:27:36.080 --> 0:27:38.879 and traffic control. So it's all in for roadworks. That 0:27:39.040 --> 0:27:40.959 is likely to be an eye opener when that IKAC 0:27:41.000 --> 0:27:50.640 investigation begins on the fourteenth of July. A great heritage 0:27:50.680 --> 0:27:52.960 acts you've seen in recent times, Kylie on the text line, 0:27:52.960 --> 0:27:56.760 says Sir Paul McCartney. Sir Paul McCartney played Alliant Stadium 0:27:57.080 --> 0:27:59.760 in twenty twenty three. Towards the end of twenty twenty three. 0:28:00.480 --> 0:28:04.000 Kylie also says share was brilliant. This one from Chris 0:28:04.040 --> 0:28:07.160 the greatest Heritage Jack dever the Rolling Stones in Moore 0:28:07.200 --> 0:28:10.959 Theater around two thousand and three. We paid sixty dollars 0:28:10.960 --> 0:28:13.520 per ticket. Now that was a warm up act, wasn't it, 0:28:13.560 --> 0:28:15.520 because they were playing one of the big venues, the 0:28:15.600 --> 0:28:18.240 Rolling Stones, And from memory, I think Angus Young actually 0:28:18.240 --> 0:28:21.159 came out on stage and played with them. Oh Greg 0:28:21.320 --> 0:28:24.600 greg on the text line best heritage Jack, no doubt, 0:28:24.760 --> 0:28:25.960 John Stanley, if. 0:28:25.800 --> 0:28:28.920 It matters to you, you'll hear it here Sydney Now 0:28:29.080 --> 0:28:31.000 with Clinton Maynard until. 0:28:30.720 --> 0:28:33.520 Six, one, seven three is my number. Now there's been 0:28:33.560 --> 0:28:36.880 a major rally in Tarre, mid North Coast today and 0:28:36.960 --> 0:28:40.400 this has involved people who've suffered during the floods of 0:28:40.480 --> 0:28:43.719 recent weeks. They're upset about the amount of government funding 0:28:43.720 --> 0:28:46.240 and an amount of government assistants it's available at the moment. 0:28:46.600 --> 0:28:49.680 May Ambor runs and owns an arcade in Tarree and 0:28:49.720 --> 0:28:51.720 she joined us on the program last week. Hello May, 0:28:52.600 --> 0:28:55.520 Hi Quinn, tell us about what's occurred today. 0:28:57.000 --> 0:29:02.560 Well over three thousand of our community turned up to 0:29:02.800 --> 0:29:07.280 the rally today. There was a lot of emotion, a 0:29:07.320 --> 0:29:14.800 lot of heated, heated discussion, and we are just begging 0:29:14.880 --> 0:29:19.200 the government to listen to us and give us the 0:29:19.240 --> 0:29:21.280 funding that our community needs. 0:29:21.680 --> 0:29:24.400 So the the problem here is just to clarify, mate, 0:29:24.600 --> 0:29:26.760 for those that didn't hear you talk about it last week, 0:29:27.920 --> 0:29:32.080 Tai and surrounding districts are not classed as a Category D, 0:29:32.680 --> 0:29:35.760 which means that the level of funding available to primary 0:29:35.800 --> 0:29:38.400 producers farmers I think is at twenty five thousand dollars, 0:29:38.400 --> 0:29:40.680 whereby if you were classed a Category D, it would 0:29:40.680 --> 0:29:41.640 be seventy five thousand. 0:29:42.320 --> 0:29:48.000 Correct. But the interesting thing is Clinton that in twenty 0:29:48.080 --> 0:29:52.360 twenty one, within seven days, we were categorized as a 0:29:53.480 --> 0:29:57.840 D and now here we are thirty three days later, 0:29:58.720 --> 0:30:03.240 still categorized as a sea with a flood that is 0:30:03.360 --> 0:30:08.880 twice as big, with twice as many businesses and homes 0:30:09.040 --> 0:30:11.160 and farmers and. 0:30:12.520 --> 0:30:12.920 People. 0:30:13.320 --> 0:30:15.360 You've had thousands of people at this rally today. Was 0:30:15.680 --> 0:30:19.320 there anybody in a position of power, local MPs, local 0:30:19.360 --> 0:30:20.160 politicians there? 0:30:21.160 --> 0:30:27.760 We had our representatives locally like Tanya Thompson and Alison Penfelt, 0:30:27.880 --> 0:30:32.120 they are both representing the National Party in our area. 0:30:32.840 --> 0:30:39.040 We had farmers becking, We had some people that are 0:30:40.640 --> 0:30:46.400 affected as far as the dairy farmers, the beef farmers, 0:30:46.480 --> 0:30:51.280 the oyster farmers. Then we had a business representative and 0:30:51.440 --> 0:30:56.200 insurance representative. And then we had some a few sort 0:30:56.240 --> 0:31:00.360 of wild comments from the crowd as well, because people 0:31:00.400 --> 0:31:08.440 were starting to feel frustration and bitterness towards the whole 0:31:08.920 --> 0:31:13.840 time involved in us not being given the funding that 0:31:13.880 --> 0:31:15.600 we so desperately need. 0:31:15.680 --> 0:31:17.480 Now this is a combination of the state and federal 0:31:17.520 --> 0:31:20.000 government and so change is needed here. Thank you for 0:31:20.080 --> 0:31:22.520 joining us, mate, and thank you for campaigning on this 0:31:22.560 --> 0:31:25.760 as thousands of other people did today, because something's got 0:31:25.800 --> 0:31:28.040 to change here because it will affect us all. We're 0:31:28.040 --> 0:31:30.959 talking farmers and primary producers, and in the end that 0:31:31.040 --> 0:31:33.320 affects what we buy in the city when we go 0:31:33.360 --> 0:31:35.560 to our green groces, when we go to the supermarkets. 0:31:35.600 --> 0:31:38.320 Thank you May May Amble, who's the owner of Little 0:31:38.400 --> 0:31:41.520 Arcade in Tarre doogled Saunders, the New South Wales national 0:31:41.600 --> 0:31:44.280 leaders just called in. Thank you for calling me. 0:31:44.360 --> 0:31:45.960 Do yeah goa Klinon. 0:31:45.960 --> 0:31:48.040 I was just listening to May talk then, and it's 0:31:48.280 --> 0:31:52.640 still disappointing. Literally a month since this event happened and 0:31:52.720 --> 0:31:54.960 we've got just not enough support on the table. And 0:31:55.000 --> 0:31:57.440 when three thousand people turn up in Tarre, that's a 0:31:57.640 --> 0:31:59.920 fair bit, doesn't it. And I gather there are similar 0:32:00.000 --> 0:32:02.600 thing's planned maybe for Kempsy next week, which again is 0:32:02.640 --> 0:32:05.360 in the same bit just being completely forgotten and left 0:32:05.360 --> 0:32:05.880 out in the coal. 0:32:06.080 --> 0:32:08.240 This is what I don't understand. If this flood and 0:32:08.800 --> 0:32:11.600 I was there and you've been there as well, people 0:32:11.760 --> 0:32:13.840 keep telling me it is worse than twenty twenty one. 0:32:13.920 --> 0:32:17.000 So how's twenty twenty one classified as a d then 0:32:17.160 --> 0:32:19.040 worth seventy five thousand dollars in grants? 0:32:19.040 --> 0:32:22.320 But this isn't yeah, because twenty twenty one and twenty 0:32:22.360 --> 0:32:24.840 twenty two. Twenty twenty two was the Lizmore flood, which 0:32:25.040 --> 0:32:29.160 was a phenomenal flood and Lizmore specifically. 0:32:28.680 --> 0:32:29.719 Hit really badly by that. 0:32:29.760 --> 0:32:30.480 But again it was. 0:32:30.440 --> 0:32:34.560 Classified by using coalition as a category D and that's 0:32:34.560 --> 0:32:37.240 seventy five grand flight as well and fifty for small business, 0:32:37.320 --> 0:32:40.360 so that the difference is stark. And look, I've spoken 0:32:40.400 --> 0:32:43.200 personally to the Premiere. The Prime Minister and the Premier 0:32:43.280 --> 0:32:45.960 have both met with exactly the same people I've met with, 0:32:46.520 --> 0:32:48.560 and yet they were only able to come to the 0:32:48.560 --> 0:32:52.560 twenty five thousand dollar mark, which they know, and the 0:32:52.600 --> 0:32:56.560 Minister for Recovery, Janelle Saffan, that knows it is not enough. 0:32:56.560 --> 0:32:59.880 And what it does is d incentivized people to continue 0:32:59.880 --> 0:33:03.240 for their small business or their farm because it simply 0:33:03.320 --> 0:33:05.760 isn't enough to get them going again. And look, we've 0:33:05.760 --> 0:33:08.520 got a petition. Tanya Thompson started a petition a week ago. 0:33:08.960 --> 0:33:10.200 It's online right now. 0:33:10.720 --> 0:33:12.160 We'd love you to get involved with that. 0:33:12.200 --> 0:33:15.360 If you just do a search for the petition supporting 0:33:15.400 --> 0:33:18.560 flood affected communities in the Mid North Coast and Hunter regions. 0:33:18.840 --> 0:33:21.960 There's about six thousand signatures on that petition right now. 0:33:21.960 --> 0:33:23.680 We need to get to twenty for it. 0:33:23.640 --> 0:33:26.280 To be guaranteed of being debated in Parliament. But the 0:33:26.320 --> 0:33:29.760 pushes on mate, like people are still just feeling completely neglected. 0:33:29.960 --> 0:33:32.400 We've got a state and a federal government that can 0:33:32.480 --> 0:33:35.720 and should do more. We've got a budget being delivered tomorrow. 0:33:36.080 --> 0:33:38.160 I'm pretty sure there'll be nothing in it in the 0:33:38.200 --> 0:33:40.400 budget that will help people feel good about themselves on 0:33:40.440 --> 0:33:42.240 the Mid North Coast or a Hunter region, that's for sure. 0:33:42.280 --> 0:33:44.040 We look hopefully that's not the case, and we'll certainly 0:33:44.080 --> 0:33:46.000 be trying to talk to members of the government tomorrow 0:33:46.040 --> 0:33:48.360 about that, because Daniel Mookie indicated when he joined me 0:33:48.480 --> 0:33:50.160 a week or so ago a big part of spending 0:33:50.160 --> 0:33:53.120 would be on national natural disasters in this budget's being 0:33:53.120 --> 0:33:55.520 handed down tomorrow. Thank you Google, Thanks Clinton. 0:33:55.520 --> 0:33:56.080 Good to talk here. 0:33:56.120 --> 0:33:58.000 Diogod Son as the new South Wales Nationals leader. We'll 0:33:58.000 --> 0:34:00.560 have a look online of that petition and I'll mention 0:34:00.600 --> 0:34:02.160 the link a little later in the program. If they 0:34:02.200 --> 0:34:04.920 can get twenty thousand signatures on that petition, they'll be 0:34:04.960 --> 0:34:07.040 a debate in Parliament. One three one eight seven three 0:34:07.080 --> 0:34:09.440 A company your calls on Heritage Acts in a moment, 0:34:09.480 --> 0:34:11.879 but some breaking news from the Telegraph to remember this name, 0:34:12.000 --> 0:34:17.640 Salim Mahaja, former local mayor, disgraced former local mayor. He 0:34:17.680 --> 0:34:20.480 has been granted parole today, so he will be released 0:34:20.480 --> 0:34:23.399 from prison. He'll be released next month after the State 0:34:23.440 --> 0:34:26.440 Parole Authority handed down a decision to grant him parrole 0:34:26.480 --> 0:34:29.480 on a long list of conditions. In hearing, the Commissioner 0:34:29.520 --> 0:34:32.879 of Corrective Services actually opposed his release, citing his risk 0:34:32.960 --> 0:34:38.200 of reoffending and his lack of change. However, the court 0:34:38.239 --> 0:34:40.400 has made a decision that he will be freed, so 0:34:40.600 --> 0:34:42.279 Salim Mahaja will be out. 0:34:42.800 --> 0:34:46.440 You're listening to Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard on two 0:34:46.600 --> 0:34:49.799 GB Colm now one three one eight seven three. 0:34:49.880 --> 0:35:00.400 Okay, we've been talking about heritage. As you've seen. Chris 0:35:00.480 --> 0:35:02.799 was fortunate to be at the end Moore Theater when 0:35:02.800 --> 0:35:05.440 the Rolling Stones played there in the early two thousands. 0:35:05.480 --> 0:35:07.880 What was it like, Chris Clinton? 0:35:07.920 --> 0:35:11.600 It was two thousand and three February and a young 0:35:11.680 --> 0:35:12.080 kid I. 0:35:12.080 --> 0:35:17.120 Gave his first job to actually helped me secure the ticket. Wow, 0:35:17.680 --> 0:35:22.480 sixty bucks to sit in row file. There was five 0:35:22.520 --> 0:35:27.640 of us who went and Malcolm and Angus Young came 0:35:27.719 --> 0:35:29.520 on two thirds the way through the gig. 0:35:30.760 --> 0:35:34.480 You could have almost felt Keith Richards sweat hitting you 0:35:34.520 --> 0:35:37.880 on the face as he played Charlie Watts. Was unbelievable. 0:35:38.120 --> 0:35:39.440 Of course, Mick is the. 0:35:39.440 --> 0:35:43.680 Consumment entertainer, My greatest, greatest gig ever real music. 0:35:43.840 --> 0:35:45.319 And if you haven't been to the end Moore Theater 0:35:45.360 --> 0:35:47.240 in Sydney, look a thereater has been there for ages. 0:35:47.280 --> 0:35:50.360 It's a venue that what maybe holds two thousand people? 0:35:50.400 --> 0:35:54.840 Perhaps, mate, on the night sixteen hundred tickets. 0:35:55.000 --> 0:35:57.360 You got sixteen hundred, so it's what you call it 0:35:57.400 --> 0:36:00.239 intimate venue. And I know a friend of mine went there. 0:36:01.040 --> 0:36:02.719 It was I think it was a warm up for 0:36:02.760 --> 0:36:03.440 their other shows. 0:36:03.520 --> 0:36:04.719 Wasn't it too right? 0:36:04.840 --> 0:36:07.600 They often do a micro gig getting ready for their 0:36:07.600 --> 0:36:13.440 big tours. And I sat behind h G. Nelson and 0:36:13.480 --> 0:36:15.879 I'm a wheelchair user so can't stand up to watch 0:36:15.880 --> 0:36:18.520 the gig. And I'd done a bit of work with 0:36:18.719 --> 0:36:22.040 HG a few months previous, and he stepped out of 0:36:22.040 --> 0:36:24.520 the way because he's a tool bloke, moved his wife 0:36:24.600 --> 0:36:27.280 in front of him, and I sat on the seat 0:36:27.320 --> 0:36:31.799 back of the uninterrupted you mate, it was just sensational. 0:36:31.880 --> 0:36:33.239 That'd be one of the best of all time. Hey, 0:36:33.239 --> 0:36:35.120 good on you, Chris, Glad you got those great memories. 0:36:35.160 --> 0:36:38.960 Lauren says so sting at the ICC in February of 0:36:38.960 --> 0:36:41.920 twenty twenty three. Brilliant voice and He's still so smooth 0:36:41.920 --> 0:36:45.120 and silky as well. This is a good one. Rose 0:36:45.160 --> 0:36:47.960 Tattoos saw Rose Tattoo a couple of weeks ago in Brisbane. 0:36:48.239 --> 0:36:51.440 Keep listening. I'm still to spin two GB's winter wheel 0:36:51.480 --> 0:36:52.520 and give you a chance to win. 0:36:55.520 --> 0:37:00.520 This is sit now with Clinton on TG What. 0:37:00.520 --> 0:37:03.080 A stunning Sydney's winter afternoon we have on our hands. 0:37:03.120 --> 0:37:05.040 Are twenty degrees in the city at the moment. Some 0:37:05.160 --> 0:37:08.399 suburbs in the west Rudy Hill uputs a twenty three 0:37:08.440 --> 0:37:10.839 to twenty four degrees. I know it's very cold when 0:37:10.840 --> 0:37:12.960 you get up in the morning at the moment, but boy, 0:37:13.440 --> 0:37:14.920 this is a nice time of the year once it 0:37:14.960 --> 0:37:17.160 warms up a little bit. Good news for the humpback 0:37:17.200 --> 0:37:20.879 whale that's been tangled in a line off Palm Beach 0:37:20.920 --> 0:37:23.120 Show for the last few hours. It's now been freed. 0:37:23.640 --> 0:37:26.160 So it's now been released. There's been an operation that's 0:37:26.200 --> 0:37:29.600 involved National Parks and Wildlife Services and they've had several 0:37:29.640 --> 0:37:32.880 boats that surrounded the whale over the past quite a 0:37:32.920 --> 0:37:36.960 few hours throughout the afternoon and one rubber dinghy red 0:37:37.040 --> 0:37:40.440 Rummadigi with three people on board, has been involved in 0:37:40.640 --> 0:37:43.400 the really delicate operation to untangle this one hundred and 0:37:43.440 --> 0:37:47.440 fifty meters worth of line and rope. Had four white 0:37:47.480 --> 0:37:49.480 boys and you'll see all this on nine years tonight 0:37:49.520 --> 0:37:53.000 when you watch the news with Peter Overton. And it's 0:37:53.040 --> 0:37:55.960 been a really delicate operation because at times this whale 0:37:56.040 --> 0:37:59.239 it's a huge humpback whale. Difficult to say exactly how 0:37:59.239 --> 0:38:01.040 big it is from the vision that I've been watching, 0:38:01.600 --> 0:38:04.359 but it was thrashing around and it was rolling over 0:38:04.400 --> 0:38:09.080 itself throughout the operation. So the three experts who are 0:38:09.080 --> 0:38:11.000 on board that rubber ducky they had to be really 0:38:11.040 --> 0:38:12.560 careful for their own safety and then they could have 0:38:12.560 --> 0:38:16.000 easily been pulled into the ocean themselves of Palm Beach. 0:38:16.840 --> 0:38:19.200 But over the course of hours they've now managed to 0:38:19.280 --> 0:38:22.920 untangle all this line and now finally cut the whale free. 0:38:22.960 --> 0:38:27.080 So the whales continuing on its northern migration. It's going 0:38:27.080 --> 0:38:29.560 to be monitored and they will consider it. They were 0:38:29.560 --> 0:38:31.640 considering when I spoke to National Parks in the last 0:38:31.680 --> 0:38:34.440 hour whether that actually attached a tracker to the whale, 0:38:34.880 --> 0:38:37.640 because it's going to be probably still a little bit distressed, 0:38:37.880 --> 0:38:41.840 fatigued after what it's been through over the past few hours. 0:38:42.040 --> 0:38:44.360 But The good news is the whale is now free. 0:38:45.239 --> 0:38:47.320 Sydney now with Clinton Maynard. 0:38:47.640 --> 0:38:50.200 If it's happening in your city, you'll hear it on 0:38:50.360 --> 0:38:52.720 Sydney Now to GB. 0:38:53.080 --> 0:38:55.839 Eight past four. This news just in. If you're going 0:38:55.880 --> 0:38:58.319 to post some mail to a friend, you're going to 0:38:58.360 --> 0:39:01.040 be paying more. The a Triple C has the afternoon 0:39:01.080 --> 0:39:03.759 confirmed they have approved an increase in the price of 0:39:03.760 --> 0:39:07.160 the basic stamp, so the cost of sending a letter 0:39:07.239 --> 0:39:09.800 will increase from a dollar fifty to a dollar seventy. 0:39:10.320 --> 0:39:12.799 Across the board, prices for mail will go up by 0:39:12.800 --> 0:39:15.200 a little over thirteen percent, which is obviously much much 0:39:15.280 --> 0:39:18.880 higher than inflation which is now below three percent. Australia 0:39:18.920 --> 0:39:22.759 Post had made an application to increase their prices and 0:39:22.840 --> 0:39:25.160 for the simple reason they're losing money on the letter 0:39:25.200 --> 0:39:30.040 delivery service. So AHABLEC Commissioner An Brackley says, although we 0:39:30.120 --> 0:39:32.200 understand there's going to be an extra cost for consumers, 0:39:32.280 --> 0:39:36.920 Australia Post loses money running the national letter service. The 0:39:36.960 --> 0:39:40.200 Minister herself, so the Minister for Communications in Anika, wells 0:39:40.280 --> 0:39:44.959 she can actually reject this decision. Likelihood she won't. Australia Post, 0:39:44.960 --> 0:39:47.040 of course, is run by the government and it's now 0:39:47.040 --> 0:39:49.680 been approved by the competition regulator, so it will happen. 0:39:50.120 --> 0:39:52.960 The average price of a single postage stamp in an 0:39:52.960 --> 0:39:56.920 OECD country is actually a dollar ninety three, so our 0:39:56.960 --> 0:39:59.319 prices are a little lower, despite the fact that we 0:39:59.400 --> 0:40:03.920 have to cover geographically much bigger area than most OECD countries. 0:40:04.200 --> 0:40:06.440 From next month, large letters up to one hundred and 0:40:06.480 --> 0:40:08.759 twenty five grams will increase from three dollars to three 0:40:08.800 --> 0:40:12.440 dollars forty. Ordinary large letters between one hundred and twenty 0:40:12.440 --> 0:40:14.319 five and two hundred and fifty grams will go up 0:40:14.320 --> 0:40:17.359 from between four dollars fifty to five dollars ten. Now, 0:40:18.239 --> 0:40:20.759 I know most of us don't post letters these days. 0:40:20.800 --> 0:40:23.480 It's much cheaper to deal with email, but if you 0:40:23.520 --> 0:40:25.719 still like to send a letter to a friend, you 0:40:25.760 --> 0:40:27.520 will be paying a little bit more on the future. 0:40:31.920 --> 0:40:35.560 It's ten past four. Nurses and midwives have rallied outside 0:40:35.600 --> 0:40:40.919 Westmead Hospital today following revelations that the Neonatal Intensive Care 0:40:41.000 --> 0:40:45.600 Unit inside Westmead simply does not have enough resources. The 0:40:45.760 --> 0:40:50.799 NICU is funded for forty four beds now. The Neonatal 0:40:50.880 --> 0:40:54.920 Intensive Care Unit is the unit inside Westmead that looks 0:40:54.960 --> 0:40:59.440 after the sickest of babies, babies who are premature, babies 0:40:59.440 --> 0:41:03.200 that need them most help. And it is forty four 0:41:03.200 --> 0:41:07.320 beds in size, but on a regular basis, the staff, 0:41:07.360 --> 0:41:09.440 the nurses there and the doctors, they need to open 0:41:09.480 --> 0:41:12.400 it up to as much as fifty beds. So what 0:41:12.480 --> 0:41:16.440 they describe this is they have to double park the babies, 0:41:17.080 --> 0:41:21.000 triple park. And it's been suggested today that there are 0:41:21.000 --> 0:41:24.359 babies being treated in the corridors at the hospital. There 0:41:24.360 --> 0:41:27.680 are babies being treated in storerooms. Now I've spoken with 0:41:28.440 --> 0:41:30.239 the government today and they say that they're not being 0:41:30.239 --> 0:41:34.160 treated in storerooms. And the Minister Ryan Park will go 0:41:34.239 --> 0:41:37.560 to Westmead Hospital this week once the budgets handed down, 0:41:37.640 --> 0:41:39.040 and he will meet with some of the nurses and 0:41:39.080 --> 0:41:43.759 he'll meet with the management. Jessica Charleston is a midwife 0:41:43.880 --> 0:41:47.320 at Westmead Hospital and she's one of the midwives who's concerned. 0:41:47.800 --> 0:41:50.319 Thank you for joining me, Jessica, Thank you for having 0:41:50.360 --> 0:41:53.840 me tell me about your experience of treating babies in 0:41:53.880 --> 0:41:54.319 this unit. 0:41:55.080 --> 0:41:56.879 So first of all, I just want to highlight that 0:41:56.920 --> 0:42:00.360 we are talking about the neonatal intensive care unit within 0:42:00.520 --> 0:42:04.160 the adult hospital. We are not part of the Kids Hospital. 0:42:04.160 --> 0:42:07.319 We are not part of the Children's hospital network. We 0:42:07.360 --> 0:42:08.120 are part of Western. 0:42:08.200 --> 0:42:11.520 This is the Westmead standard hospital. But you're talking neonatal care, 0:42:11.560 --> 0:42:14.080 so babies who are the most neat baby. 0:42:13.760 --> 0:42:18.959 Within the adult hospital. So there's been some confusion about 0:42:18.960 --> 0:42:22.040 which unit has been referred to and yeah, just one age. 0:42:22.320 --> 0:42:24.960 So this is the neonatal intensive care unit within Westmead. 0:42:25.200 --> 0:42:26.880 So tell me about your experience. 0:42:28.360 --> 0:42:31.080 It's pretty scary sometimes walking in and sort of not 0:42:31.160 --> 0:42:33.960 knowing what you're going to do, what you're going to 0:42:34.000 --> 0:42:37.680 get for the day, walking into a bedspot and go it, Oh, 0:42:37.760 --> 0:42:40.200 there's some extra babies in here that they're meant to 0:42:40.239 --> 0:42:44.200 be class. I've got an extra allocated extra babies, and 0:42:44.280 --> 0:42:46.320 what I should be this is a really sick baby 0:42:47.560 --> 0:42:50.160 and I've got to manage that really sick baby as 0:42:50.200 --> 0:42:52.440 well as another one, maybe two babies. 0:42:53.080 --> 0:42:56.120 Is there an issue of its physical resources having the 0:42:56.160 --> 0:42:59.360 physical space there or is it a staffing problem? 0:43:00.000 --> 0:43:00.200 Both? 0:43:00.800 --> 0:43:03.719 It's both. We have physically run out of space in 0:43:03.760 --> 0:43:07.920 the unit that we have. We have forty four physical 0:43:07.960 --> 0:43:12.360 bedspots in the unit and it's not un news for 0:43:12.440 --> 0:43:15.839 us to have fifty babies and with times going even 0:43:15.920 --> 0:43:19.800 higher than that. Our funding is currently to have twenty 0:43:19.840 --> 0:43:24.600 one staff on a shift, and over the last probably 0:43:24.600 --> 0:43:27.680 four to six months, we're needing twenty four to twenty six. 0:43:28.200 --> 0:43:30.359 So is staff needed to do extras and over time 0:43:30.400 --> 0:43:33.200 to try and meet that demand. I mean we rarely 0:43:33.239 --> 0:43:35.960 get there. That's staff trying to do as much as 0:43:35.960 --> 0:43:36.400 they can. 0:43:37.480 --> 0:43:39.880 There was a headline this morning about babies being treated 0:43:39.920 --> 0:43:43.400 in the corridor. Baby's being treated in it in a storeroom. 0:43:43.400 --> 0:43:45.239 Now the government's told me, you know they're not being treated 0:43:45.239 --> 0:43:49.520 in the storeroom from your experience, is that true? 0:43:50.160 --> 0:43:50.640 It's true. 0:43:51.520 --> 0:43:54.000 We have what we call what has always been known 0:43:54.000 --> 0:43:57.880 as our resource room, which started life as a storeroom 0:43:57.920 --> 0:44:01.839 where we kept our resussates that we used to treat 0:44:01.880 --> 0:44:06.520 critically unwell babies and was where we then were able 0:44:06.560 --> 0:44:11.400 to restock those resussates. And after there was an article 0:44:11.680 --> 0:44:16.839 in twenty eighteen, I believed after that the shelves from 0:44:16.840 --> 0:44:19.160 the storeroom were removed. But it's still the storeroom that 0:44:19.200 --> 0:44:23.320 we can have up to sort of two or three babies. 0:44:22.920 --> 0:44:25.960 In Ryan Park. The Health Minister, he's going to come 0:44:26.000 --> 0:44:27.840 out and see you guys later this week. What do 0:44:27.840 --> 0:44:29.400 you want to say to the Health minister if you 0:44:29.520 --> 0:44:31.279 personally get the chance to meet with him, what do 0:44:31.320 --> 0:44:32.600 you want to say to Ryan Park. 0:44:33.360 --> 0:44:35.640 I don't necessarily want to say anything. I just we 0:44:36.000 --> 0:44:39.040 would love the opportunity to show him what we're talking about. Ye, 0:44:39.880 --> 0:44:45.120 it's anyone like, it's very obvious what the issues are. 0:44:45.560 --> 0:44:47.960 We can show him how our daily staffing sheet that 0:44:48.040 --> 0:44:49.640 sort of shows how many shorts we are on a 0:44:49.680 --> 0:44:53.799 shift regularly, and we can show him babies hammed into 0:44:54.040 --> 0:44:57.600 what is obviously one bed spot, having sort of two 0:44:57.640 --> 0:45:00.919 babies side by side. We can show him this store 0:45:00.960 --> 0:45:03.560 room that we put babies in. We might even have 0:45:03.600 --> 0:45:06.200 an admission that sits out in the corridor while we 0:45:06.280 --> 0:45:08.680 try and move other babies to make room for this 0:45:09.520 --> 0:45:11.480 sort of unexpected admission that we often get. 0:45:11.880 --> 0:45:13.879 Well, he's going to come later in the week and 0:45:14.040 --> 0:45:17.240 hopefully you can show him the exact reality of the situation. 0:45:17.320 --> 0:45:19.759 Thank you for your time, Jessica, Thank you very much. 0:45:19.960 --> 0:45:22.520 Jessica Charleston, who's a union midwife, so she has met 0:45:22.560 --> 0:45:25.359 representative of the union, but she works here on the job. 0:45:25.440 --> 0:45:29.040 So it's the neonatal intensive key you know, within Westmeat, 0:45:29.520 --> 0:45:31.960 so it has funding for forty four beds, but often 0:45:32.160 --> 0:45:34.000 they have to treat fifty babies at one time, and 0:45:34.040 --> 0:45:38.520 these are really sick babies, often born premature. These are 0:45:38.560 --> 0:45:41.360 the babies who need the most health. Chris Min's the Premier, 0:45:41.400 --> 0:45:43.520 has responded to this today. Some of the good. 0:45:43.480 --> 0:45:46.640 Signs that we're seeing is retention across the network is 0:45:46.680 --> 0:45:49.680 now where we were at prior to the COVID emergency. 0:45:50.040 --> 0:45:53.480 We are saving over ninety percent of people year or 0:45:53.640 --> 0:45:57.480 year from retiring or resigning from the public health system. 0:45:57.640 --> 0:46:00.360 So chris Minn says the issue is mostly about stuf laughing, 0:46:00.360 --> 0:46:02.719 and Jessica said, yes, it's staffing as well, not just 0:46:02.800 --> 0:46:05.640 the physical layout of the hospital and the resources there. 0:46:06.440 --> 0:46:10.360 And the Premier's argument is they're now preventing nurses from resigning. 0:46:10.719 --> 0:46:13.960 Don't forget the Nurses and Midwives Association is still locked 0:46:14.000 --> 0:46:16.040 in the pay battle as well with the state government 0:46:16.600 --> 0:46:19.360 and that's not resolved yet. That's before the Industrial Relations 0:46:19.400 --> 0:46:24.320 Commission and nurses have paid roughly seventeen percent more in Queensland. 0:46:24.600 --> 0:46:27.640 If it matters to you, you'll hear it here Sydney 0:46:27.680 --> 0:46:29.160 Now with Clinton Maynard. 0:46:29.320 --> 0:46:31.880 Until seven new road toll statistics have been released for 0:46:31.920 --> 0:46:34.359 the whole country today. They show to the end of May, 0:46:34.520 --> 0:46:37.319 there's been an increase year on year in the number 0:46:37.360 --> 0:46:39.560 of people killed in their roads of four point eight percent, 0:46:39.960 --> 0:46:44.080 one thy three hundred and thirty seven. This increase, and 0:46:44.120 --> 0:46:46.880 these are the latest statistics that have been released, largely 0:46:46.920 --> 0:46:50.680 attributed to the increase in death of cyclists. There's been 0:46:50.680 --> 0:46:53.239 a thirty six point seven percent jump in the number 0:46:53.280 --> 0:46:57.160 of people killed on the roads who are cycling forty one. 0:46:57.560 --> 0:46:59.200 But there's also been a big jump in the number 0:46:59.200 --> 0:47:01.880 of pedestrians who were killed, up fifteen percent to one 0:47:01.960 --> 0:47:04.879 hundred and ninety two. I wonder how much that's got 0:47:04.920 --> 0:47:08.160 to do. And we talk a lot about issues of distraction, 0:47:08.719 --> 0:47:11.839 but pedestrians who are glued to their mobile phones when 0:47:11.840 --> 0:47:14.960 they walk across the road and don't realize there's traffic 0:47:15.160 --> 0:47:17.279 in the way. They might be listening to something through 0:47:17.320 --> 0:47:22.000 their earbuds. They might be looking down and watching social media, 0:47:22.080 --> 0:47:25.200 watching videos while they're walking. But that's a big jump, 0:47:25.480 --> 0:47:28.960 an extra one hundred and an extra fifteen percent number 0:47:28.960 --> 0:47:31.760 of fatalities involving pedestrians one hundred and ninety two deaths, 0:47:32.400 --> 0:47:34.800 and an increase in cyclists killed on the road thirty 0:47:34.840 --> 0:47:37.680 six percent to forty one. Twenty one past four, the 0:47:37.680 --> 0:47:40.279 Good Guys has got into some trouble. Today they have 0:47:40.360 --> 0:47:42.719 reached an agreement with the agriple C. They've agreed to 0:47:42.760 --> 0:47:45.520 pay a fine of thirteen and a half million dollars. 0:47:45.920 --> 0:47:48.440 This relates to court proceedings that will launched last year 0:47:48.480 --> 0:47:53.160 midway through last year effectively about fake advertising or advertising 0:47:53.560 --> 0:47:56.080 that was false, also in regards to what they called 0:47:56.080 --> 0:47:59.319 the store cash promotion. Under this sentiment agreement and it's 0:47:59.320 --> 0:48:01.520 subject to call approval, the Good Guys will pay a 0:48:01.520 --> 0:48:03.480 penalty of thirteen and a half million dollars. They will 0:48:03.480 --> 0:48:06.760 contribute two hundred thousand dollars towards the Ahriable C's own costs, 0:48:07.400 --> 0:48:11.000 and they'll also implement a remediation program for certain customers 0:48:11.360 --> 0:48:13.719 that were affected. Now JB High Fight not a lot 0:48:13.760 --> 0:48:16.759 of people realize this JB High Fight actually owns the 0:48:16.800 --> 0:48:19.279 Good Guys and it all relates to the way they 0:48:19.280 --> 0:48:23.759 were advertising some goods. The a Triable C says, basically 0:48:23.960 --> 0:48:26.600 it comes down to trust that consumers need to be 0:48:26.640 --> 0:48:30.000 able to trust any major retailer when they advertise stock 0:48:30.120 --> 0:48:31.720 for a certain price and a certain deal. 0:48:32.719 --> 0:48:34.800 Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard. 0:48:35.080 --> 0:48:37.680 If it's happening in your sitting, you'll hear it on 0:48:37.840 --> 0:48:39.879 Sydney Now to GB. 0:48:39.880 --> 0:48:42.319 Twenty two past four, Just on the road, toll Nick 0:48:42.360 --> 0:48:44.840 on the text line says, in regards to that increase, 0:48:45.200 --> 0:48:48.240 I believe it comes down to attitudes. Attitudes on the roads, 0:48:48.600 --> 0:48:51.239 especially amongst ute drivers, and the lack of accountability and 0:48:51.280 --> 0:48:54.320 punishment for speeding drivers, and also a lack of police. 0:48:54.480 --> 0:48:56.600 Certainly we need more cops than the roads, and still 0:48:56.600 --> 0:48:59.480 there are something like two and a half thousand fewer 0:48:59.480 --> 0:49:02.880 cops actually authorized in New South Wales. But the increase 0:49:02.920 --> 0:49:05.279 that's been recorded today shows it's a big jump in 0:49:05.440 --> 0:49:10.440 motorbike riders, cyclists and also pedestrians. Perhaps utes might be 0:49:10.480 --> 0:49:13.080 responsible some of those accidents, but it's also about the 0:49:13.120 --> 0:49:16.439 way pedestrians behaving on the road. Twenty three past four 0:49:16.560 --> 0:49:19.359 on the issues in New South Wales hospitals. Paul has 0:49:19.400 --> 0:49:20.640 some experience in the area. 0:49:20.640 --> 0:49:26.080 Hello Paul, good afternoon. Look, I worked in pediatric intensive 0:49:26.120 --> 0:49:30.480 care a long time ago, forty years. However, back then 0:49:31.520 --> 0:49:34.680 there was always one nurse to patient. There are always 0:49:34.760 --> 0:49:39.120 two doctors in the ward, only ten patients in the 0:49:39.160 --> 0:49:43.200 ward plus occasionally up to two more that was twenty 0:49:43.200 --> 0:49:49.760 four to seven. Sometimes kids were brought into Sydney from 0:49:50.400 --> 0:49:57.360 in the state. Sometimes very occasionally some were transferred in 0:49:57.440 --> 0:50:02.080 the state to because of well, obviously the number of beds. 0:50:02.360 --> 0:50:04.759 I mean, maybe that's the way they can get around it. 0:50:04.840 --> 0:50:08.240 But it's not just the matter of caring for three kids. 0:50:09.200 --> 0:50:10.919 You've got worried parents. They're worried. 0:50:10.960 --> 0:50:11.600 It's bugary. 0:50:12.920 --> 0:50:14.320 So you've got. 0:50:14.120 --> 0:50:17.600 Potentially nine people that's under your care as a nurse. 0:50:17.840 --> 0:50:20.360 Yeah, great point, and it's certainly the problem they have 0:50:20.520 --> 0:50:22.760 at Westmeat at the moment is that the staff patient 0:50:22.840 --> 0:50:26.640 ratio in that neonatal unit is certainly not one to one. 0:50:26.960 --> 0:50:29.120 Thank you if you message Paul one three one eight 0:50:29.160 --> 0:50:31.480 seven three if you've had experience it, particularly when it 0:50:31.480 --> 0:50:34.680 comes to the care of babies and children in our hospital. 0:50:35.560 --> 0:50:38.879 Great text message is still coming in about let's say, 0:50:39.160 --> 0:50:41.240 I use the term heritage and that's not an insult 0:50:41.800 --> 0:50:44.880 because we're talking about ACDC making their return to Australian 0:50:44.920 --> 0:50:46.959 shores with their tour later this year. They'll be playing 0:50:46.960 --> 0:50:51.600 in Sydney November. But perhaps some older established music acts 0:50:51.600 --> 0:50:54.279 that you've seen over the years who've been the best. 0:50:54.920 --> 0:50:58.760 This one from and Maria and Maria has a great one. 0:50:59.080 --> 0:51:02.160 And Maria says she saw Tina Turner perform in nineteen 0:51:02.239 --> 0:51:07.240 ninety three and it wasn't at the NRL Grand Final. 0:51:07.719 --> 0:51:10.800 And Maria saw Tina Turner per film at the Formula 0:51:10.840 --> 0:51:13.319 one Grand Prix and Adelaide Ayton Senner had won his 0:51:13.400 --> 0:51:16.080 last race McClaren before he moved to Williams. She was 0:51:16.160 --> 0:51:19.080 fabulous and she actually brought Aton Center on stage and 0:51:19.120 --> 0:51:23.239 they sang simply the best. Really, what a memory to 0:51:23.320 --> 0:51:26.279 have in lighten ed and Sener died in nineteen ninety four, 0:51:26.960 --> 0:51:29.120 so wow, what a memory to have with Tina Turner 0:51:29.600 --> 0:51:32.680 and simply the best. This one from George John Farnham 0:51:32.680 --> 0:51:35.920 in twenty fourteen was just amazing. He had so much 0:51:36.040 --> 0:51:38.680 energy in the concert tour that he did with Lionel Richie. However, 0:51:39.400 --> 0:51:43.680 Lionel Richie seemed to phoner in Lionel was absolutely lackluster. 0:51:44.840 --> 0:51:47.359 Good question on the text line from Claudine to those 0:51:47.440 --> 0:51:50.680 road tile statistics we just mentioned include e scooters on 0:51:50.680 --> 0:51:53.040 the road without a helmet, lighting or a license. Yes, 0:51:53.080 --> 0:51:55.080 they do, so they'd be classed as a cyclist even 0:51:55.120 --> 0:51:58.880 though they're basically a motorbike. Those e scoters And I 0:51:58.880 --> 0:52:00.640 know I've been banging on about this for ages and 0:52:00.800 --> 0:52:03.000 it's a big talking point now. But again on the weekend, 0:52:03.040 --> 0:52:05.360 I saw a stack of kids in my suburb, Engodeine 0:52:05.400 --> 0:52:08.080 in the South on the fat Boy bikes for the 0:52:08.120 --> 0:52:10.520 first time. I often see two kids at once on 0:52:10.560 --> 0:52:12.720 the fat Boy bikes and they are designed to carry 0:52:12.719 --> 0:52:17.719 two people. I saw three on one and probably third 0:52:17.760 --> 0:52:20.239 in year old girls on the fat Boy bikes. Two 0:52:20.239 --> 0:52:22.759 of the girls had helmets, the third didn't. Now it's 0:52:22.760 --> 0:52:25.000 their own. They fall off the back and they hurt themselves. Well, 0:52:25.120 --> 0:52:27.120 they've only got themselves a blame for not wearing the helmet. 0:52:27.600 --> 0:52:30.120 But the girl who's on the back clinging to the 0:52:30.160 --> 0:52:32.120 other two girls, they're wearing the helmets. Do they think 0:52:32.160 --> 0:52:34.000 I look because I'm not actually in control of the bike. 0:52:34.440 --> 0:52:40.799 It doesn't matter. Let's check out news headlines. We've got 0:52:40.840 --> 0:52:41.200 the latest. 0:52:41.239 --> 0:52:44.840 Katie Fuller, Good afternoon, Clinton. The corruption watchdog will hold 0:52:44.880 --> 0:52:49.120 a public inquiry as it investigates allegations concerning staff at 0:52:49.160 --> 0:52:52.640 Transport for New South Wales. The ikak pro will look 0:52:52.680 --> 0:52:57.560 to determine whether employees partially or dishonestly awarded contracts to 0:52:57.640 --> 0:53:02.000 companies in return for benefits. Singapore Airlines has canceled some 0:53:02.080 --> 0:53:05.760 of its flights between Singapore and Dubai as conflict escalates 0:53:05.760 --> 0:53:09.640 in the Middle East. Carta Airways is closely monitoring the situation. 0:53:10.320 --> 0:53:14.000 Twenty five years on, tight knit Queensland community is coming 0:53:14.000 --> 0:53:17.719 together to remember fifteen lives lost in the Childers. Backpackers 0:53:17.760 --> 0:53:22.080 Blaze and Rock Legends ACDC will bring their tour down 0:53:22.280 --> 0:53:25.279 Under in November and December for the first time in 0:53:25.320 --> 0:53:29.920 a decade. The band will be performing at stadiums in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, 0:53:29.920 --> 0:53:35.040 Perth and Adelaide. In sports, Sydney FC midfielder Anthony Cassis 0:53:35.120 --> 0:53:38.000 will leave the Sky Blues after failing to come to 0:53:38.120 --> 0:53:41.000 terms on a new contract. He played two hundred and 0:53:41.040 --> 0:53:44.759 sixteen appearances for the club, helping to secure four trophies. 0:53:45.000 --> 0:53:46.600 Clinton More news at five. 0:53:46.520 --> 0:53:49.320 Sakkat twenty degree is on the coast in Penrith, nineteen 0:53:49.360 --> 0:53:51.239 degrees A lovely afternoon, but the sun will be going 0:53:51.280 --> 0:53:53.319 down in about half an hour's time. One three one 0:53:53.520 --> 0:53:56.759 eight seventy three On the issues at Westmead Hospital and 0:53:56.880 --> 0:54:00.600 the neonatal unit there that is clearly under resource. The 0:54:00.640 --> 0:54:02.799 Health Minister Ryan Park has made a promise that he's 0:54:02.840 --> 0:54:04.600 going to go to Westmead after there was a protest 0:54:04.640 --> 0:54:06.759 there today and he will talk to the staff at 0:54:06.760 --> 0:54:09.840 Westmead this week. Michael says, while the neonator ward at 0:54:09.880 --> 0:54:12.520 Westmeat is critical and the nurses there are angels and 0:54:12.560 --> 0:54:15.440 deserve more than they're getting, there's actually one level higher 0:54:15.800 --> 0:54:17.960 and this is where the sickest of babies go, and 0:54:17.960 --> 0:54:20.880 that's to the Gray Sward. Miracles are being performed in 0:54:20.960 --> 0:54:24.360 the gray Swart and hopefully the conditions and the resources 0:54:24.400 --> 0:54:27.239 they have are adequate. Will try to find out, Michael, 0:54:27.280 --> 0:54:28.960 how they're doing in the Gray Sward. I was talking 0:54:29.000 --> 0:54:31.160 a little bit earlier about the rally that's been held 0:54:31.160 --> 0:54:34.200 in Tarre today. Three thousand people have attended the rally 0:54:34.800 --> 0:54:37.799 demanding the government reclassified areas of the Mid North Coast 0:54:37.840 --> 0:54:40.520 and the Hunter Valley to Category D following the floods. 0:54:40.520 --> 0:54:43.840 Now if they were class Category D, they'd qualify for 0:54:43.880 --> 0:54:47.400 government funding of seventy five thousand dollars. During the floods 0:54:47.400 --> 0:54:49.920 of twenty twenty one twenty twenty two, there were areas 0:54:49.920 --> 0:54:52.360 of this region that were class Category D. Now this 0:54:52.719 --> 0:54:57.600 affects farmers and primary producers business owners that entitled them 0:54:57.600 --> 0:55:00.759 to those seventy five thousand dollar grants. So many people 0:55:00.840 --> 0:55:03.640 have told me that the destruction, the damage that's been 0:55:03.719 --> 0:55:06.440 suffered on the Mid North Coast in particular in the 0:55:06.520 --> 0:55:08.680 last month is far worse than it was in twenty 0:55:08.719 --> 0:55:11.880 twenty two to twenty twenty one. Lizmore was another example altogether. 0:55:13.000 --> 0:55:16.160 But there were areas of this region that categorized D 0:55:16.680 --> 0:55:19.520 back in twenty twenty two, but they don't now. It 0:55:19.640 --> 0:55:23.200 just seems very strange. Well googled sort as the National's 0:55:23.239 --> 0:55:26.080 leader told us about a petition that's now online. If 0:55:26.080 --> 0:55:29.200 you go to Google, just type in support flood effected 0:55:29.200 --> 0:55:32.080 Communities on the Mid North Coast. You'll then find a link. 0:55:32.200 --> 0:55:35.000 Just type in support flood effected Communities in the Mid 0:55:35.000 --> 0:55:37.640 North Coast. There'll then be a link that takes you 0:55:37.680 --> 0:55:41.040 to the Parliament website. And on the Parliament website, just 0:55:41.080 --> 0:55:43.200 follow the links when you type that into Google. There 0:55:43.239 --> 0:55:46.640 is an e petition. You can sign that petition. If 0:55:46.640 --> 0:55:50.319 that petition receives twenty thousand E signatures, don't actually have 0:55:50.360 --> 0:55:52.759 to go anywhere and sign anything with a pen. But 0:55:52.800 --> 0:55:57.120 if there are twenty thousand signatures electronically, the matter will 0:55:57.120 --> 0:55:59.279 go to Parliament, and if it goes to Parliament, there's 0:55:59.320 --> 0:56:00.600 a better chance of change. 0:56:00.880 --> 0:56:04.520 We are part of Sydney now with Clinton Maynard called 0:56:04.520 --> 0:56:06.560 one three one eight seventy three. 0:56:07.200 --> 0:56:10.000 A Sydney site is boring. Well no, I don't think 0:56:10.000 --> 0:56:13.400 we're boring at all. But there's there's been a drama 0:56:13.440 --> 0:56:16.560 on social media and this is going viral. As they say, 0:56:16.840 --> 0:56:19.839 you see often there's this story and the government talks 0:56:19.840 --> 0:56:21.799 about this. The New South Wales government talks about this, 0:56:21.880 --> 0:56:26.560 that Sydney's nightlife and nighttime economy is not strong, that 0:56:26.600 --> 0:56:29.160 we don't rival cities around the world where you might, 0:56:29.440 --> 0:56:33.080 for instance, walk down George Street ten thirty at night 0:56:33.280 --> 0:56:35.880 on a Tuesday and everything's closed. It's very hard to 0:56:35.880 --> 0:56:38.360 get a decent food late at night in the CBD. 0:56:38.480 --> 0:56:40.880 Despite the fact Sydney is classed as a World city. 0:56:41.640 --> 0:56:43.279 Suggestion is that we need to do a lot more 0:56:43.360 --> 0:56:46.080 to make the city more vibrant. I think if we're 0:56:46.239 --> 0:56:49.000 out and about and the demands there. Government's changed the 0:56:49.040 --> 0:56:51.680 rules over the years. I think if demand's there, businesses 0:56:51.719 --> 0:56:56.720 will open late and they will offer food, beverage or entertainment. Well, 0:56:56.760 --> 0:57:01.319 there's this woman who's gone viral on social media, her 0:57:01.360 --> 0:57:04.680 name is Tazzy, in that The Daily Mail has done 0:57:04.719 --> 0:57:07.799 a story about this. She claims is a problem with 0:57:07.880 --> 0:57:10.759 Sydney's nightlife and it's not the fact that businesses don't 0:57:10.760 --> 0:57:11.279 open late. 0:57:11.560 --> 0:57:14.120 Well, we need to address the problem at the route. Okay, 0:57:14.719 --> 0:57:18.200 it's not the nightlife that's boring. People from Sydney are 0:57:18.240 --> 0:57:19.560 insufferably boring. 0:57:19.920 --> 0:57:26.320 Okay, people from Sydney are insufferably boring. Has she been 0:57:26.360 --> 0:57:31.720 to Adelaide? Has she been to Melbourne? Clearly not what's 0:57:31.760 --> 0:57:35.160 boring about Sydney. We've got the best beaches in the country. 0:57:35.280 --> 0:57:38.160 I mean Brisbane for all wonders of Queensland, Brisbane doesn't 0:57:38.160 --> 0:57:40.840 have a beach. It's got a river. We've got the 0:57:40.880 --> 0:57:44.720 greatest harbor in the world. We've got the Opera House, which, 0:57:45.040 --> 0:57:47.440 if you've been to the Opera House lately, it's magnificent, 0:57:48.200 --> 0:57:49.880 renovated that a few years ago, was there about a 0:57:49.880 --> 0:57:54.760 month ago. It's spectacular. And the people are boring. I 0:57:54.760 --> 0:57:56.160 think Tazzy actually needs to have a bit of a 0:57:56.160 --> 0:57:58.280 good look at herself. Yeah, you tell me seriously, is 0:57:58.360 --> 0:58:00.200 that the problem with Sydney. Is there no night life 0:58:00.200 --> 0:58:03.240 in Sydney because we're all dull and boring. Let me know, 0:58:04.000 --> 0:58:07.200 eight seventy three, it's twenty to five. Apparently Sydney has 0:58:07.240 --> 0:58:09.320 no light life because the people are boring. 0:58:09.440 --> 0:58:11.960 But we need to address the problem at the route. Okay, 0:58:12.600 --> 0:58:15.720 it's not the night life that's boring. People from Sydney 0:58:15.880 --> 0:58:17.440 are insufferably boring. 0:58:17.760 --> 0:58:21.160 Okay, that's tazzy. Dayton says on the text line, Sydney 0:58:21.200 --> 0:58:23.640 life life was great when there was old school trans 0:58:23.760 --> 0:58:26.600 music events on Let you on a secret, Dayton, I 0:58:26.680 --> 0:58:28.520 might have been one of those people who occasionally went 0:58:28.520 --> 0:58:31.320 to one of those old school trance events a long, 0:58:31.360 --> 0:58:33.920 long time ago. Dave says, Yes, people in Sydney becoming 0:58:33.960 --> 0:58:36.920 boring because they're stuck at home paying off their mortgage. 0:58:37.320 --> 0:58:39.960 Even renters are struggling because you can't afford to actually 0:58:39.960 --> 0:58:42.520 go out and enjoy the night life. Word on the street, 0:58:42.560 --> 0:58:44.760 thanks to Temper a great night's sleep night after night. 0:58:44.760 --> 0:58:46.640 The difference is Temper. We brought you that news a 0:58:46.640 --> 0:58:48.800 little earlier in the hour that Australia posters had now 0:58:48.800 --> 0:58:51.680 approval from the a triple C to increase the price 0:58:51.800 --> 0:58:53.640 of a stamp and then a whole range of other 0:58:53.680 --> 0:58:57.320 post costs will go up. This message from one of 0:58:57.320 --> 0:59:01.040 our listeners will on the Northern Beaches. I missed receiving 0:59:01.040 --> 0:59:03.600 a package from Australia Post today. I live in Warrwood 0:59:03.920 --> 0:59:06.280 and my local post office at Warrwood Square. For some 0:59:06.320 --> 0:59:08.760 strange reason, I received a message that the parcel had 0:59:08.800 --> 0:59:11.720 been delivered to Monavail Post Office instead. Usually it's taken 0:59:11.720 --> 0:59:15.760 to Warrwood, so I drove to Monaval Post Office. I 0:59:15.800 --> 0:59:18.040 get there at around twelve thirty five to find out 0:59:18.080 --> 0:59:20.480 the post office is completely closed for an hour between 0:59:20.480 --> 0:59:23.160 twelve thirty one thirty. When I finally get there, I'm 0:59:23.200 --> 0:59:25.040 told they only had two staff available so they had 0:59:25.040 --> 0:59:27.320 to close for lunch. And now they want to increase 0:59:27.360 --> 0:59:31.000 their prices. And reality is that Australia Post makes decent 0:59:31.040 --> 0:59:33.520 money from their parcel service because of the boom in 0:59:33.800 --> 0:59:47.520 online shopping, but they're not making money at all from letters. 0:59:47.840 --> 0:59:51.160 We're talking great heritage performers that you've seen over the years. 0:59:51.240 --> 0:59:54.280 After his ACDC will be coming here in November, David, 0:59:54.320 --> 0:59:59.800 you've seen led Zeppelin, Hi, I haven't been when did 0:59:59.800 --> 1:00:00.680 you you mate? 1:00:02.440 --> 1:00:08.520 It was February seventy two, so not recently. 1:00:10.440 --> 1:00:12.479 No, no, yeah, it. 1:00:12.360 --> 1:00:15.800 Cost me a whole lot of Yeah, four dollars seventy. 1:00:16.320 --> 1:00:18.960 Four dollars seventy in nineteen seventy two. It's probably worth 1:00:18.960 --> 1:00:19.920 a bit of money back then. 1:00:22.000 --> 1:00:24.120 Yeah, I guess. Yeah, in my way to it was 1:00:24.600 --> 1:00:25.320 a bit of a chunk. 1:00:25.360 --> 1:00:28.840 But yeah, I would spend a hell a lot more. 1:00:28.680 --> 1:00:29.120 To see them. 1:00:29.160 --> 1:00:29.360 Yah. 1:00:29.640 --> 1:00:31.800 Good on you, David. You've got to be so careful 1:00:31.800 --> 1:00:34.200 now with the way social media works in AI. After 1:00:34.280 --> 1:00:36.760 reading the ACDC News this morning, I had a headline 1:00:36.800 --> 1:00:39.400 pop up on one of my social media feeds saying 1:00:39.560 --> 1:00:43.000 led Zeppelin reforming two are in twenty twenty five, and 1:00:43.040 --> 1:00:45.280 I thought that that cannot be right. I know, Jimmy 1:00:45.280 --> 1:00:47.080 Page and Robert Plan have done a few tours and 1:00:47.080 --> 1:00:49.560 there's been a special reunion show here and there. I 1:00:49.600 --> 1:00:52.520 double checked it. No, they're not reforming. Be really careful 1:00:52.680 --> 1:00:55.360 about what you read on social media. Jason says, saw 1:00:55.400 --> 1:00:58.280 the Eagles Sydney Entertainment Center in twenty ten and they 1:00:58.280 --> 1:01:02.200 were fantastic. All phones are before Glenn Fry passed as well. 1:01:02.360 --> 1:01:05.440 Magic concerts just want to cross to Debbie. Debbie's in 1:01:05.520 --> 1:01:08.919 Ludnum and she's just come across some dramas on the roads. 1:01:08.960 --> 1:01:15.240 Hello Debbie. Hey guys, if anybody knows Ludinum. 1:01:14.840 --> 1:01:18.200 Road, well, it appears to have been a head on collision. 1:01:19.240 --> 1:01:21.440 So one of the workmen walking back was telling me, 1:01:21.960 --> 1:01:24.480 so avoid Ludinum Road at Ludinum. 1:01:24.760 --> 1:01:28.040 Ludinum Road, Ludinum so head on collision. Do you know 1:01:28.040 --> 1:01:29.760 if the people involved in the accent. 1:01:29.520 --> 1:01:32.480 Are Okay, I have no idea. 1:01:32.800 --> 1:01:35.880 I was in the car when about seven police cars 1:01:35.960 --> 1:01:40.320 fit past, four ambulance and about four or five fidru. Okay, 1:01:40.440 --> 1:01:45.800 thank you, yes, just avoid road okay, thanks. Letting us 1:01:45.840 --> 1:01:47.840 know about that, Debbie. We'll speak with the police now 1:01:47.880 --> 1:01:49.880 and find out what's happened here. So it's an accident. 1:01:49.880 --> 1:01:54.280 Appears to be a serious collision Ludinum Road heading west 1:01:54.720 --> 1:01:57.240 in Ludenum. If you know anything about that one send 1:01:57.280 --> 1:01:59.440 me a message zero four s zero eight seven three 1:01:59.520 --> 1:02:00.120 eight seven three. 1:02:01.920 --> 1:02:05.440 On Sydney Now you trans handle the truth. 1:02:06.680 --> 1:02:10.720 The straight Steed, our straight shooter from Monday afternoon is 1:02:10.720 --> 1:02:13.919 the former MP Craig Laundy, and we talked to Craig 1:02:14.000 --> 1:02:16.960 this afternoon because he's coming to us from Boston. He's 1:02:17.120 --> 1:02:19.840 in the United States, where, of course the decision is 1:02:19.880 --> 1:02:22.200 made by the White House at the epicenter of what's 1:02:22.200 --> 1:02:23.880 happening around the world at the moment at get a, 1:02:24.000 --> 1:02:28.000 Craig Quinton, how are you may look, We're good on 1:02:28.000 --> 1:02:29.919 this side of the world, but we are very much 1:02:29.920 --> 1:02:33.400 watching what's happening in the Middle East from the outside. Now. 1:02:33.440 --> 1:02:36.120 Anthony Abernezi today has come out and said that Australia 1:02:36.160 --> 1:02:39.000 does support the decisions that have been made by Donald Trump. 1:02:39.040 --> 1:02:42.600 Just firstly, from your perspective on the ground in the US, 1:02:42.880 --> 1:02:45.000 what is the reaction of the American people to the 1:02:45.040 --> 1:02:46.000 American involvement. 1:02:46.480 --> 1:02:50.919 Well, the first thing I flew in overnight and there 1:02:51.080 --> 1:02:53.560 is a lot more bonier a bit in the last 1:02:53.600 --> 1:02:58.280 twelve bumps, there is a lot more armed security to 1:02:58.520 --> 1:03:04.440 lax transfer and the rest of it way probably way 1:03:04.480 --> 1:03:06.680 too early to be worth that. But I don't think 1:03:06.720 --> 1:03:10.760 they will take any risks because who knows what they 1:03:10.800 --> 1:03:14.760 will do now. But the US sided to I think 1:03:14.960 --> 1:03:16.720 rightfully join in what's going on. 1:03:17.640 --> 1:03:19.560 This is the issue I think going forward for the 1:03:19.640 --> 1:03:22.400 citizens of the United States is that, yes, the Iranian 1:03:22.440 --> 1:03:25.960 military force is no match for the US, clearly with 1:03:26.120 --> 1:03:28.400 the ease of which we've seen what occurred on the 1:03:28.400 --> 1:03:31.200 weekend and also the Israeli action there. But we know 1:03:31.280 --> 1:03:33.880 they have operatives and they fund operatives all over the 1:03:33.880 --> 1:03:36.280 world that may well be in the US that may 1:03:36.760 --> 1:03:39.720 now be developing their plans for terrorist attacks. 1:03:41.240 --> 1:03:41.479 Yeah. 1:03:41.560 --> 1:03:46.320 Look, normally, yes, historically you think that. But coming off 1:03:46.320 --> 1:03:50.640 the back of twelve to eight months of Israel going 1:03:50.720 --> 1:03:55.880 toe to toe with Hamas and Hezbala and the US 1:03:56.440 --> 1:04:01.920 going toe to toe with the Hohothies in Yemen, I 1:04:02.080 --> 1:04:06.080 just think and Siria falling, which I should mention, I 1:04:06.280 --> 1:04:09.760 just think their proxies around the world. They are now 1:04:10.360 --> 1:04:13.040 finally for the first time I think since nine and 1:04:13.120 --> 1:04:18.439 seventy nine, back in a corner. And we'll earn more 1:04:18.480 --> 1:04:20.880 over the next forty eight to seventy two hours on 1:04:20.960 --> 1:04:25.080 what was behind the decision from Trump Andy's team. But 1:04:25.640 --> 1:04:28.520 I wouldn't mind betting that far back in a corner 1:04:29.280 --> 1:04:32.800 that they have thought, let's press on and get rid 1:04:32.840 --> 1:04:35.960 of the clear and present danger, which is nuclear threat. 1:04:36.360 --> 1:04:39.560 Craig. The government reacted with a simple statement over the 1:04:39.560 --> 1:04:43.600 weekend it's taken until today, so a full it's well 1:04:43.600 --> 1:04:46.160 an excess of twenty four hours for Anthony ALBINESI to 1:04:46.160 --> 1:04:48.960 come out firmly in support of the United States. Did 1:04:49.040 --> 1:04:50.400 it take the government too long? 1:04:50.800 --> 1:04:55.640 Yes, he should In a short answer, yes, he should 1:04:55.640 --> 1:04:59.560 have come out straight away. And this is the challenge 1:04:59.600 --> 1:05:04.120 that the party phase. And I don't get it historically. 1:05:04.160 --> 1:05:08.160 I do when parliament's close and the seats in the 1:05:08.200 --> 1:05:10.880 Lower House are close. Even that a lot of the 1:05:10.920 --> 1:05:15.360 seats in the Lower House have a high contingency of 1:05:16.320 --> 1:05:20.400 Australians born of a movement background, but they now hold 1:05:20.440 --> 1:05:25.320 an overwhelming majority, and this is the right course of action. 1:05:26.040 --> 1:05:30.680 You cannot have Iran buring. There was an interview on 1:05:30.800 --> 1:05:34.640 Seeing and over the weekend Clington where the Iranian Defense 1:05:34.760 --> 1:05:38.640 Minister said that the shift from thirty to sixty percent 1:05:38.800 --> 1:05:43.280 in Richmond was happening now. I mean that, I think 1:05:43.400 --> 1:05:45.680 that was the thing that pressed the button for Trump 1:05:45.800 --> 1:05:50.000 and the administration in the US. You can't sit back 1:05:50.080 --> 1:05:53.000 a day after it happens and wait, you've got to 1:05:53.040 --> 1:05:56.720 go all in behind this because the thought of a 1:05:56.960 --> 1:06:01.520 nuclear Iran weapon Iran is just one you cannot deal with. 1:06:02.560 --> 1:06:09.840 On a lighter note. Craig big announcement today ac DC 1:06:10.120 --> 1:06:13.000 are touring the country. They will be playing in Sydney. 1:06:13.040 --> 1:06:14.960 There was some fears maybe they only play in Melbourne 1:06:14.960 --> 1:06:17.440 and then Adelaide for the Supercars Grand Finale, but no, 1:06:17.560 --> 1:06:20.480 they will be playing in Sydney. What are your perspective 1:06:20.520 --> 1:06:24.360 on this from somebody who runs a major hospitality business, 1:06:24.480 --> 1:06:26.880 what does it mean for a big international act in 1:06:26.920 --> 1:06:29.480 Australian act like ac DC to be coming to the country. 1:06:30.800 --> 1:06:33.720 It's huge. It's our version. I mean we had Tylis 1:06:33.720 --> 1:06:36.600 with this time last year. It's our version of that. 1:06:37.880 --> 1:06:44.120 Major announcements of multiple concerts in cities across moy in 1:06:44.160 --> 1:06:49.520 Australia is great for local economies in every state and 1:06:49.800 --> 1:06:52.680 each state government should get on board and support it. 1:06:52.880 --> 1:06:57.240 Thrill but New South Wales have and can't wait to see. Yes, 1:06:57.400 --> 1:07:01.120 that song has sadly been hijacked by the Dallas Keeler, 1:07:03.040 --> 1:07:06.000 but for me, for me, it will always be a 1:07:06.160 --> 1:07:11.120 terminated two song and and and it will be yield 1:07:11.160 --> 1:07:13.960 at the top of the voice by Australians no matter 1:07:14.000 --> 1:07:14.760 what state they're in. 1:07:14.920 --> 1:07:16.560 I think it's been used as the run out music 1:07:16.560 --> 1:07:18.920 for every second sporting club in the world over the 1:07:19.000 --> 1:07:19.760 years at some point. 1:07:20.400 --> 1:07:23.320 Well not not the Bulldogs, Clinton, neither Joker in the Faith. 1:07:23.400 --> 1:07:27.920 Now I think Melbourne Storm Music, the Storm, that's I 1:07:27.920 --> 1:07:31.400 guess that's understandable. I think Angus Angus is seventy or 1:07:31.440 --> 1:07:33.960 he's in his seventies. Brian Johnson that the lead singer, 1:07:34.000 --> 1:07:36.960 he's late seventies. Now are they too old to be 1:07:37.040 --> 1:07:37.760 rocking like this? 1:07:38.280 --> 1:07:38.320 Not? 1:07:39.280 --> 1:07:42.040 Can they can still rock it out like that? Bring 1:07:42.040 --> 1:07:42.280 it on? 1:07:42.400 --> 1:07:43.520 I say, good on. 1:07:43.600 --> 1:08:02.200 You, Craig Queen, Craig Lordia Monday Straight Shooter. So they 1:08:02.200 --> 1:08:04.640 will be coming here in November. Tickets go and sale 1:08:04.640 --> 1:08:07.600 Thursday morning, nine am ticket Tech. It's only one Sydney 1:08:07.600 --> 1:08:10.280 show to start with, but the likelihood is that'll sell 1:08:10.320 --> 1:08:13.160 out fairly quickly and there'll be a second show. I 1:08:13.160 --> 1:08:15.080 think you'll find announced. But if you're desperate to go, 1:08:15.680 --> 1:08:17.320 you're gonna have to line up on well, now you 1:08:17.360 --> 1:08:20.080 know what lines up anymore today? There's no physical ticket 1:08:20.120 --> 1:08:22.240 Tech outlet in Sydney is then ah, you've got to 1:08:22.240 --> 1:08:24.960 do it online. Of course you have done for years now. 1:08:25.200 --> 1:08:27.120 But that'll be Thursday morning. We're going to bring you 1:08:27.160 --> 1:08:29.599 some details on Wednesday about the best way to try 1:08:29.600 --> 1:08:31.800 to go about it. Mark says I saw ac DC 1:08:32.040 --> 1:08:36.040 with Bond Scott Coff's Harbor Civic Sentate nineteen seventy eight. 1:08:36.360 --> 1:08:38.160 There are only a few hundred people there and it 1:08:38.240 --> 1:08:41.639 was absolutely awesome. The stock market has reacted to what's 1:08:41.640 --> 1:08:44.360 happening in the Middle East today by closing down deb Night. 1:08:44.360 --> 1:08:46.320 I'll have all the details of money use from seven 1:08:46.360 --> 1:08:49.400 o'clock the as six two hundred down thirty point six 1:08:49.439 --> 1:08:52.479 points eighty four hundred and seventy four and all Liyes. 1:08:52.520 --> 1:08:54.639 Tonight of course will be on the reaction of Wall Street. 1:08:54.800 --> 1:08:57.280 We spoke to Debbie just a few moments ago who 1:08:57.320 --> 1:08:59.920 was on Ludnum Road and saw all these police come 1:09:00.680 --> 1:09:03.280 drive past her. In Ludenum. There has been an accident, 1:09:03.280 --> 1:09:05.840 as Steve has mentioned the traffic report as well. Two 1:09:05.880 --> 1:09:09.400 cars have been involved. One has rolled on Ludam Road westbound. 1:09:09.800 --> 1:09:13.000 The two patients are now being treated by paramedics. They've 1:09:13.000 --> 1:09:16.000 suffered minor injuries. Scott Hayward actually filling in for deb 1:09:16.080 --> 1:09:19.080 Night tonight, hosting Money News this evening. One three one 1:09:19.200 --> 1:09:21.840 eight seven three is our number. It was this time 1:09:21.920 --> 1:09:25.160 last week I told you about the terrifying shooting at 1:09:25.200 --> 1:09:28.760 the Auburn kebab shop that resulted in three people being shot, 1:09:29.080 --> 1:09:31.519 including one woman who works at that kebab shop. She's 1:09:31.560 --> 1:09:33.400 a lady the police say has nothing to do with 1:09:33.439 --> 1:09:37.000 criminal activity at all. Two men ran into that shop 1:09:37.320 --> 1:09:41.760 wearing all black, wearing black baler clavers, blandishing their pistols, 1:09:41.840 --> 1:09:44.320 and they haven't been found yet. Now I've got full 1:09:44.360 --> 1:09:47.720 confidence in the police that they will find these men, 1:09:48.240 --> 1:09:51.040 these so called assassins, who weren't very good at shooting 1:09:51.080 --> 1:09:55.600 because they missed their targets. But I don't have confidence 1:09:55.640 --> 1:09:57.240 that this gang war is going to be shut down 1:09:57.240 --> 1:10:00.200 anytime soon because of what's fueling it. What fuels is 1:10:00.240 --> 1:10:04.160 cocaine but also illegal tobacco, and this crime war is 1:10:04.160 --> 1:10:06.680 going to continue to raye on and innocent people are 1:10:06.680 --> 1:10:08.760 going to keep being caught up in it because the 1:10:08.800 --> 1:10:11.240 federal government has their head in the sand. It's been 1:10:11.320 --> 1:10:14.839 reported since last week that the man the government had targeted, 1:10:15.360 --> 1:10:18.599 Saman Jim Azari, is high up in the Alamandine crime 1:10:18.680 --> 1:10:22.120 network and this was the fourth attempt in recent times 1:10:22.120 --> 1:10:25.200 on his life, and it's been reported that he is 1:10:25.240 --> 1:10:28.679 one of the players behind a tobacco rip a condor park. 1:10:28.800 --> 1:10:31.840 A rip is where one criminal gang tries to steal 1:10:31.880 --> 1:10:35.240 from another criminal gang drugs or, in this case, tobacco. 1:10:35.880 --> 1:10:38.679 What's fueling the sale of illegal tobacco is the demand 1:10:39.040 --> 1:10:41.920 from every day Australians who usually do the right thing, 1:10:41.960 --> 1:10:44.559 but because the exorbitant price of cigarettes, are resorting to 1:10:44.560 --> 1:10:47.760 buy the illegal stuff because it's so much cheaper. Chris 1:10:47.840 --> 1:10:49.760 Minn spoke out about this issue a few weeks ago 1:10:49.760 --> 1:10:52.600 before the shooting and he said there needed to be 1:10:52.640 --> 1:10:55.840 consideration by the federal government to cutting the excise and 1:10:55.880 --> 1:10:57.960 then the very next day the Treasurer Jim charm has 1:10:58.000 --> 1:11:00.760 ruled it out immediately, no debate notice, gar no, no, 1:11:00.840 --> 1:11:03.200 we're not cutting it. It needs to be looked at. 1:11:03.439 --> 1:11:03.559 Now. 1:11:03.600 --> 1:11:06.200 I've never smoked a cigarette in my life, you know, 1:11:06.280 --> 1:11:09.000 I don't like it, but it needs to be examined 1:11:09.200 --> 1:11:12.320 because the ultimate consequence is innocent people are being shot. 1:11:12.600 --> 1:11:12.760 Now. 1:11:12.840 --> 1:11:15.920 I read today that the new South Wales government and 1:11:15.920 --> 1:11:18.799 the Victorian government and the Queensland government behind the scenes, 1:11:19.200 --> 1:11:21.640 they're joining together to actually lobby the federal government for 1:11:21.720 --> 1:11:24.840 more resources for law enforcement. And they to be good. 1:11:25.120 --> 1:11:27.519 But also Chris mens is not going to give up 1:11:27.520 --> 1:11:30.040 on his campaign that the federal government, through Jim Chummers, 1:11:30.040 --> 1:11:32.320 actually needs to look at the excise. And I know 1:11:32.439 --> 1:11:35.200 that's not popular with the health lobby, that is not 1:11:35.280 --> 1:11:39.880 popular with politicians, but reality is, innocent people are being shot. 1:11:40.760 --> 1:11:43.360 This criminal war is raging on, and much of it 1:11:43.400 --> 1:11:46.519 is fueled by illegal tobacco that people who are usually 1:11:46.680 --> 1:11:50.440 law abiding citizens are buying because they can't afford cigarettes. 1:11:53.680 --> 1:11:56.040 Seven three is my number. Three to five. We've been 1:11:56.120 --> 1:12:00.280 talking about heritage as acts from years gone by is 1:12:00.320 --> 1:12:04.320 in bands who two of the country to huge crowds. David, 1:12:04.360 --> 1:12:05.479 who do you see recently? 1:12:06.840 --> 1:12:06.960 Oh? 1:12:06.960 --> 1:12:08.439 Okody, mate, how are you Clinton? 1:12:08.479 --> 1:12:08.880 I'm good. 1:12:10.040 --> 1:12:16.360 I saw actually Akadaca in about seventy five, actually at 1:12:16.439 --> 1:12:18.439 Victoria Park, you know the swimming pool. 1:12:18.439 --> 1:12:20.799 They said they Uni, oh yes, a few years ago. 1:12:20.960 --> 1:12:22.680 Been one of their first concerts. 1:12:23.120 --> 1:12:24.760 But you saw someone recently though. 1:12:25.880 --> 1:12:29.360 I saw Sir Paul McCartney a couple of years ago. 1:12:29.479 --> 1:12:30.120 Oh, legend. 1:12:30.200 --> 1:12:36.080 He was absolutely fantastic. For eighty three there's they're youngsters, 1:12:36.120 --> 1:12:39.720 the Akadeca and he did about three and a half hours, 1:12:40.360 --> 1:12:43.519 going from instrument to instruments, song to song, without even 1:12:43.520 --> 1:12:44.639 a toilet break and. 1:12:44.520 --> 1:12:47.479 That was Allian Stadium. So the Sydney Football Stadium. What 1:12:47.520 --> 1:12:49.640 were the acoustics like there? What was the sound like? 1:12:51.040 --> 1:12:54.160 Oh that was fantastic, fantastic. 1:12:53.720 --> 1:12:55.320 Yeah, and that's that's always the few with the big 1:12:55.400 --> 1:12:56.120 venues like that. 1:12:57.600 --> 1:13:00.280 Oh no, no, it was brilliant. He was fantastic. Played 1:13:00.320 --> 1:13:06.519 everything you played, mandolin, ukulele base, of course, a couple 1:13:06.560 --> 1:13:07.640 of pianos. 1:13:08.240 --> 1:13:10.280 Fantastic. Hey, good on your David, Thanks for letting us 1:13:10.280 --> 1:13:12.599 know about that. There's a suggestion that Sydney has no 1:13:13.000 --> 1:13:16.000 nightlife or it's not good because the people in Sydney 1:13:16.160 --> 1:13:18.560 are pouring. Kim says, you should have been around with 1:13:18.600 --> 1:13:21.240 all the pubs rocked with Ossie music. That was fun. 1:13:21.520 --> 1:13:24.160 Reality is pubs have been able to make so much 1:13:24.200 --> 1:13:26.559 more money over the past twenty odd years from poker 1:13:26.600 --> 1:13:29.280 machines than live bands. And yes, there are still hotels 1:13:29.280 --> 1:13:32.320 that feature live music, but it's far more profitable to 1:13:32.320 --> 1:13:35.640 have a few Pokey's in the corner. Tim says the 1:13:35.640 --> 1:13:38.280 problem with Sydney's nightlife is the mayor. The mayor doesn't 1:13:38.280 --> 1:13:42.559 seem to like nightlife. Clover more. Transport's also an issue 1:13:42.680 --> 1:13:45.080 that the train network shuts down at one o'clock in 1:13:45.080 --> 1:13:46.760 the morning, so it makes it pretty expensive if you 1:13:47.080 --> 1:13:49.559 are out late, if you're trying to get home via 1:13:49.720 --> 1:13:52.200 a taxi or ubert, it's down expensive. Now in the 1:13:52.200 --> 1:13:54.120 next hour of the program, not far now, I'm going 1:13:54.160 --> 1:13:57.000 to spin two GB's Winter Wheel. We have lots of 1:13:57.040 --> 1:13:59.559 cash to give away, but also your chance to win 1:13:59.600 --> 1:14:03.519 a deed group signature dining experience for two people made 1:14:03.520 --> 1:14:05.599 at five hundred dollars. You can go along to Alpha 1:14:05.720 --> 1:14:08.920 or Flying Fish or Sala. I'm going to spin two 1:14:08.960 --> 1:14:11.960 GB's Winter Wheel. You've got to keep listening for the 1:14:12.080 --> 1:14:12.839 Queuter call. 1:14:15.520 --> 1:14:19.479 Their is Sydney now with Clinton on. 1:14:19.400 --> 1:14:22.519 T GB seven past five one three one eight seven three. 1:14:22.640 --> 1:14:25.040 More than four thousand people have now asked the federal 1:14:25.080 --> 1:14:27.800 government for help leaving the Middle East. They are people 1:14:27.880 --> 1:14:31.320 who are stranded in Israel and Iran. Now, some of 1:14:31.360 --> 1:14:33.519 those would be people who've traveled to that region the 1:14:33.560 --> 1:14:36.280 world in full knowledge that it is a danger zone, 1:14:36.400 --> 1:14:39.240 that it's a war zone. Others would be Australians who 1:14:39.280 --> 1:14:42.519 have citizenship who have been there for some time. The 1:14:42.600 --> 1:14:46.320 Foreign Minister Penny Wong says they will use and they 1:14:46.520 --> 1:14:50.519 have since made forces there. They will try to assist 1:14:50.560 --> 1:14:52.080 as many citizens as they can. 1:14:52.240 --> 1:14:54.640 Obviously this is very fluid, but we are seeking to 1:14:54.720 --> 1:14:59.719 make arrangements to utilize that window if we are able. 1:15:00.120 --> 1:15:03.000 Have advised Australians on the ground of that fact. 1:15:03.439 --> 1:15:06.760 The Prime Minister Anthony Albernezi has finally come out and 1:15:06.800 --> 1:15:09.639 said Australia does support the US strikes on Iran. Now, 1:15:09.640 --> 1:15:11.320 it took him more than twenty four hours to make 1:15:11.360 --> 1:15:14.559 that statement. There was a statement issued on the weekend, 1:15:15.120 --> 1:15:16.840 but it didn't come from the Prime Minister's mouth, and 1:15:16.880 --> 1:15:18.920 he's been asked today why did it take so long. 1:15:19.160 --> 1:15:23.280 Well, we aren't a central player in this contract conflict. 1:15:23.360 --> 1:15:26.599 That's just a fact. And what we do is we 1:15:26.720 --> 1:15:32.320 run an orderly stable government. But I make comments about 1:15:32.360 --> 1:15:38.519 this in three countries over recent days, and my comments 1:15:38.520 --> 1:15:40.479 today are perfectly consistent with that. 1:15:40.680 --> 1:15:44.479 Now, Iran does have an ambassador based in Canberra. His 1:15:44.680 --> 1:15:49.760 name is Armada Saturaji and he's effectively today issued a 1:15:50.040 --> 1:15:53.240 veil threat to the United States. This is the ambassador 1:15:53.280 --> 1:15:56.200 to Australia making comments about what's happened in the Middle East. 1:15:57.120 --> 1:16:01.240 He has told Nine News. Other Muslim country may see 1:16:01.280 --> 1:16:05.519 this as an attack. May see this as provocation. It's 1:16:05.560 --> 1:16:08.840 effectively a warning to the US. And given he's the 1:16:08.880 --> 1:16:11.720 ambassador to our country, could it be interpreted that it's 1:16:11.720 --> 1:16:12.760 a warning to us as well. 1:16:13.360 --> 1:16:17.080 You know that he like Iran and Iran would not 1:16:17.240 --> 1:16:20.599 be said, and that would be our responsibility to the US. 1:16:20.640 --> 1:16:21.120 Show net. 1:16:22.520 --> 1:16:25.240 Now, mister Trump has not made fresh comments today. He 1:16:25.400 --> 1:16:27.439 is likely to speak again the next twenty four hours 1:16:27.439 --> 1:16:29.200 and will certainly monitor what he has to say. 1:16:29.960 --> 1:16:33.360 You want to know what's happening in Sydney, stay tuned 1:16:33.439 --> 1:16:37.440 to Sidney Out with Clinton onto GB. 1:16:37.320 --> 1:16:39.679 Now you should watch nine Years tonight with Peter Roverden 1:16:39.760 --> 1:16:44.360 to see these pictures from off Palm Beach this afternoon. 1:16:44.439 --> 1:16:47.519 For several hours, a humpback whale has been trapped in 1:16:47.720 --> 1:16:49.560 a long line. Now it's not clear whether it was 1:16:49.560 --> 1:16:53.160 a fishing line where it was some sort of sharknet unclear, 1:16:53.760 --> 1:16:56.240 but the humpback rail, which was on its migration north, 1:16:56.400 --> 1:16:59.719 was tangled in this line for several hours and cruise 1:16:59.760 --> 1:17:03.120 from National Parks and Wildlife worked for hours and hours 1:17:03.160 --> 1:17:06.479 to try to free it. Now, courtesy the Channel nine helicopter, 1:17:06.520 --> 1:17:08.040 I was able to actually watch this as it was 1:17:08.080 --> 1:17:11.680 all taking part, and there was a four boats that 1:17:11.800 --> 1:17:15.120 surrounded the whale over these hours this afternoon. But there 1:17:15.160 --> 1:17:17.960 were three rescuers in a rubber ducky which is red 1:17:18.120 --> 1:17:21.200 rubber ducky and on the side it said Wildlife Rescue, 1:17:21.240 --> 1:17:23.760 and it was these three rescuers who were basically doing 1:17:23.760 --> 1:17:27.000 all the work. And it was obviously very delicate because 1:17:27.280 --> 1:17:30.080 at times they were able to get close, but the 1:17:30.080 --> 1:17:34.360 whale would toss itself over and cause enormous splash, so 1:17:34.640 --> 1:17:39.120 they had to keep their distance at other times. Eventually 1:17:39.360 --> 1:17:43.320 they managed to actually cut the line away, which is 1:17:43.680 --> 1:17:45.479 great for the whale because the whale will now be 1:17:45.520 --> 1:17:47.960 able to continue migration north. Now it's likely to be 1:17:48.000 --> 1:17:51.680 fatigued and it's probably suffering somewhat for being tangled for 1:17:51.760 --> 1:17:55.240 some time. Chad Western the instant controller of this rescue. 1:17:55.280 --> 1:17:57.920 He's been the man in charge with National Parks and Wildlife. 1:17:58.000 --> 1:18:00.559 He joined me earlier in the program and he said 1:18:00.560 --> 1:18:03.240 this was an extensive and a very delicate operation. 1:18:03.600 --> 1:18:06.080 The team became aware of it into the evening last 1:18:06.160 --> 1:18:08.479 night when it was in the Manly area, and this 1:18:08.520 --> 1:18:12.080 morning we stood up our large whale disentanglement team with 1:18:12.120 --> 1:18:16.519 the assistance of ORCA and Marine rescue and water police. 1:18:16.920 --> 1:18:18.840 It was about one hundred and fifty meters of line 1:18:19.360 --> 1:18:23.240 with four boys wrapped around the body, the peck sins 1:18:23.439 --> 1:18:25.680 and tail. We take a fair bit of time just 1:18:25.680 --> 1:18:29.200 to monitor the whale first to understand its behavior and 1:18:29.240 --> 1:18:31.920 how we'll respond to approach, and to see where it's 1:18:31.920 --> 1:18:35.080 at with its behavior with respective fatigue as well. Obviously 1:18:35.120 --> 1:18:38.639 you can imagine these whales'm quite tired wrapped in in gear, 1:18:38.840 --> 1:18:41.000 and then what they do is they attach boys we 1:18:41.080 --> 1:18:44.240 call kegs and a sea sale in the effort to 1:18:44.240 --> 1:18:46.479 slow it down even further and just make it a 1:18:46.479 --> 1:18:49.599 bit more tired so that when it's approached we can 1:18:50.120 --> 1:18:52.320 better predict its behaviors. 1:18:52.479 --> 1:18:54.720 Chad Western from National Parks and Wildlife who was with 1:18:54.760 --> 1:18:56.360 me a little earlier. So hopefully the whale is going 1:18:56.400 --> 1:18:59.479 to be okay and the experts will continue to monitor 1:18:59.479 --> 1:19:01.880 as it migrates out the case. But you've got to 1:19:01.920 --> 1:19:04.400 say that the three people who were aboard that rubber 1:19:04.479 --> 1:19:07.760 dinghy who became really close, I mean they showed a 1:19:07.760 --> 1:19:10.719 fair bit of courage because the whale was thrashing around 1:19:11.040 --> 1:19:13.800 at some point and the seas would have been quite right, 1:19:13.960 --> 1:19:17.360 simply because of the Wales movement. But they've done a 1:19:17.400 --> 1:19:18.120 remarkable job. 1:19:18.160 --> 1:19:21.000 In the end. If it's happening in Sydney, you'll hear 1:19:21.080 --> 1:19:25.280 it on Sydney now with Clinton on to GB AS. 1:19:25.320 --> 1:19:27.639 I was driving through Sydney South this morning, I spott 1:19:27.640 --> 1:19:30.360 a petrol well under a dollar seventy leader and it 1:19:30.400 --> 1:19:32.559 made me think, given what's happening in the Middle East 1:19:32.560 --> 1:19:34.160 of the moment now, it must be a good time 1:19:34.200 --> 1:19:36.360 to fill up. Well, it certainly is. That's the message 1:19:36.360 --> 1:19:39.040 from the NRMA today. Peter Courry joins me from the NMA. 1:19:39.040 --> 1:19:41.080 Hello Peter, good afternoon mate. 1:19:41.080 --> 1:19:42.400 Why should we fill up at the moment? 1:19:43.000 --> 1:19:45.840 Yeah, look, definitely fill up now. There's a couple of things. 1:19:45.840 --> 1:19:48.280 First of all, the price cycle in Sydney has absolutely 1:19:48.320 --> 1:19:50.479 hit the bottom. We don't think it's going to go 1:19:50.560 --> 1:19:53.080 any further. In fact, we've noticed that clip up a 1:19:53.120 --> 1:19:56.160 little bit in terms of the average. And also what 1:19:56.200 --> 1:19:57.840 we're now going to start to see is the flower 1:19:57.840 --> 1:20:00.960 and effects of what started off between Israel and Over 1:20:01.000 --> 1:20:03.600 a week and a half ago. So wholesale prices have 1:20:03.680 --> 1:20:05.479 gone up about eight cents of later in the last 1:20:05.479 --> 1:20:07.920 week in a bit. That's going to flow on. Plus, 1:20:07.960 --> 1:20:11.200 the price cycle in Sydney is turning, so please fill 1:20:11.240 --> 1:20:13.799 up now. There's some real good bargains across the city, 1:20:14.080 --> 1:20:15.559 but they won't be there for much longer. 1:20:15.600 --> 1:20:17.839 So the fact the fact that the wholesale price increased 1:20:17.840 --> 1:20:20.759 a week ago and we're still seeing petrol relatively cheap, 1:20:21.280 --> 1:20:22.160 why is that the case. 1:20:23.000 --> 1:20:25.400 Look, it's because the price cycle Licdney was falling. That 1:20:25.560 --> 1:20:28.160 to be fair, how did the situation in the Middle 1:20:28.200 --> 1:20:32.000 East not occurred? We would see those falls continue into 1:20:32.240 --> 1:20:34.639 late this week. Because the average price is a dollar 1:20:34.800 --> 1:20:37.120 seventy well, it got to a dollar seventy three, it's 1:20:37.160 --> 1:20:39.000 now gone back up to a solo seventy four. We 1:20:39.000 --> 1:20:42.080 were expecting it to drop to the low one sixties, 1:20:42.120 --> 1:20:44.240 but because of what's happened over the last week and 1:20:44.240 --> 1:20:46.680 a half, we knew that that floor was going to 1:20:46.720 --> 1:20:49.639 be a lot higher, unfortunately than we had hoped, because 1:20:49.720 --> 1:20:51.200 those wholesale prices. 1:20:50.800 --> 1:20:51.760 Have been creeping up. 1:20:51.680 --> 1:20:54.280 And that was inevitably going to be passed on to 1:20:54.280 --> 1:20:55.440 motors here in Australia. 1:20:55.520 --> 1:20:57.240 It's hard to obviously predict what's going to happen on 1:20:57.280 --> 1:20:58.920 the other side of the world in the next couple 1:20:59.000 --> 1:21:02.960 of days. But yeah, if what we are seeing intensifies 1:21:03.200 --> 1:21:06.920 and those world all prices do go up, how fast 1:21:06.920 --> 1:21:10.000 will it take to increase the Bowser prices here? 1:21:10.680 --> 1:21:14.479 Yeah, so price movements globally, So anything that happens globally 1:21:14.520 --> 1:21:17.880 takes about seven to ten days to flow onto Australian 1:21:17.880 --> 1:21:20.920 consumers and Australian motors at the Bowser. So that's why 1:21:21.000 --> 1:21:23.960 we're starting to see those prices that those increases that 1:21:24.080 --> 1:21:26.240 kicked off a week and a half ago, that's why 1:21:26.240 --> 1:21:29.960 we're starting to see those come across the Australian market now. 1:21:30.040 --> 1:21:33.400 So anything that happens overseas takes about seven to ten days. 1:21:33.840 --> 1:21:35.480 We are obviously hoping. 1:21:35.160 --> 1:21:35.880 For the worst of it. 1:21:35.920 --> 1:21:39.320 Everyone is waiting to see what happens next. We expect 1:21:39.320 --> 1:21:43.439 after the US attack on Iran over the weekend when 1:21:43.520 --> 1:21:46.479 the markets in Asia closed, we might see our regional 1:21:46.520 --> 1:21:51.200 benchmark cappers go up two or three dollars a barrel. 1:21:51.479 --> 1:21:54.240 But we're waiting to see. So we're watching very carefully. 1:21:54.439 --> 1:21:56.080 We're hoping we'll see the worst of it. But it 1:21:56.120 --> 1:21:56.800 is the Middle East. 1:21:57.040 --> 1:21:58.240 Simple messages, fill up. 1:21:58.120 --> 1:22:00.840 Today, fill up today, please, good on. 1:22:00.800 --> 1:22:02.639 You, Peter, thank you, Peter Peter Krue from the NRAM 1:22:02.720 --> 1:22:04.599 have a look at the NRMA app as well, because 1:22:04.640 --> 1:22:11.960 that's the way to find savings across the city. No, no, no, no, no, 1:22:12.000 --> 1:22:14.960 I haven't fallen asleep. Some research has been released today 1:22:15.400 --> 1:22:19.920 overseas that indicates if you get too much sleep might 1:22:19.960 --> 1:22:22.439 not be good for you. For years, we've been told 1:22:22.479 --> 1:22:24.800 that if you don't sleep enough, if you don't sleep 1:22:24.840 --> 1:22:27.439 seven to eight hours, you were damaging your health. Well, 1:22:27.520 --> 1:22:30.799 this latest research is showing if you get too much sleep, 1:22:31.080 --> 1:22:33.920 if you get perhaps nine hours sleep, you could be 1:22:33.960 --> 1:22:36.559 at a greater risk. Jen Walsh is the director of 1:22:36.600 --> 1:22:39.800 Center for Sleep Science. So thank you for joining us, Jen, Yeah, 1:22:39.840 --> 1:22:42.840 thanks for having me in Clinton. I'm very confused this afternoon. 1:22:42.880 --> 1:22:45.960 I'm very confused. So if you sleep too much you 1:22:45.960 --> 1:22:46.880 could affect your health. 1:22:47.920 --> 1:22:52.919 Yeah, sadly, that's what a lot of evidence actually shows, 1:22:53.479 --> 1:22:56.519 not all of it. That we have far more evidence 1:22:56.560 --> 1:23:01.880 indicating that insufficient sleep or not very much sleep is poor, 1:23:02.160 --> 1:23:05.360 you know, for our health and lots of aspects of 1:23:05.400 --> 1:23:07.840 our health. But yeah, there are a few, quite a 1:23:07.840 --> 1:23:10.519 few studies also that show that if we're sleeping sort 1:23:10.560 --> 1:23:14.360 of nine, ten eleven hours, then yes, that can be 1:23:14.439 --> 1:23:15.880 detrimental as well. 1:23:15.960 --> 1:23:18.840 So this was research that was conducted in Hungary and 1:23:18.880 --> 1:23:21.960 they analyzed more than two minion participants, so this isn't 1:23:22.000 --> 1:23:25.280 a small study, and it found that there was an 1:23:25.320 --> 1:23:29.040 increased risk of death for those that slept nine hours 1:23:29.160 --> 1:23:29.880 or more at night. 1:23:31.400 --> 1:23:34.240 Yeah, So what they did was they looked at a 1:23:34.360 --> 1:23:38.400 number of other studies. So they compiled data from it 1:23:38.479 --> 1:23:41.280 was I think about seventy eight studies into something like that, 1:23:41.400 --> 1:23:44.639 and they and on those studies were looking at different 1:23:44.840 --> 1:23:49.320 health outcomes and the overall outcome was general mortality. But 1:23:49.439 --> 1:23:53.400 you know, they were looking at things like cardiovascular disease, cancer, 1:23:54.280 --> 1:23:57.880 and death from all of those conditions, and this was 1:23:58.200 --> 1:24:00.599 the overall finding. When they add up, you know, on 1:24:00.680 --> 1:24:03.320 average all of the results from all of the studies, 1:24:03.400 --> 1:24:06.080 you know, what did they find? And yes, they found 1:24:06.120 --> 1:24:09.479 that if the people were sleeping longer than nine hours, 1:24:09.520 --> 1:24:13.000 and for the most part these studies, that nine hours 1:24:13.040 --> 1:24:17.720 has come from an individual self report, so how what 1:24:17.880 --> 1:24:21.080 they actually think they sleep, so that you know, you 1:24:21.120 --> 1:24:24.479 can imagine there's an inherent error in that measure as well. 1:24:24.640 --> 1:24:24.800 Well. 1:24:24.800 --> 1:24:27.720 That's a really good point because I think there's an 1:24:27.760 --> 1:24:29.880 issue of quality of sleep. I've got an app, so 1:24:29.920 --> 1:24:32.160 I wear a fit bit, and so I look at 1:24:32.160 --> 1:24:34.680 it too closely these days. And even if I'm in 1:24:34.720 --> 1:24:37.000 bed for very rare I'll be nine hours. But if 1:24:37.000 --> 1:24:39.360 I'm in bed for say eight hours, it's very rarely 1:24:39.400 --> 1:24:41.479 the app says I've had eight hours sleep, it's often 1:24:41.760 --> 1:24:42.280 six and. 1:24:42.240 --> 1:24:44.520 Six and a half exactly. 1:24:44.600 --> 1:24:44.840 Yeah. 1:24:44.920 --> 1:24:50.559 So that's one of the potential reasons that these long 1:24:50.680 --> 1:24:55.200 sleep durations are potentially considered or showing to be detrimental 1:24:55.240 --> 1:24:57.880 for health outcomes is because it might just be that 1:24:57.920 --> 1:25:01.120 people are spending more time in bed think they're sleeping. 1:25:01.720 --> 1:25:04.840 Maybe they do think they are asleep, and they may 1:25:05.600 --> 1:25:08.800 go to sleep at the start of that sleep period 1:25:08.840 --> 1:25:11.080 and they wake up at the end, but during the 1:25:11.280 --> 1:25:14.519 night they may be awake lots, so they sleep may 1:25:14.560 --> 1:25:18.479 be quite broken, and that we know is detrimental for 1:25:18.840 --> 1:25:19.759 health long. 1:25:19.640 --> 1:25:22.720 Term broken sleep. I know it's difficult to generalize, but 1:25:23.520 --> 1:25:26.760 as you get older, and maybe it just depends from 1:25:26.760 --> 1:25:29.799 person to person, can you survive on few hours sleep? 1:25:30.880 --> 1:25:33.960 Generally, what we know is that as we get older, 1:25:34.000 --> 1:25:39.599 we achieve slightly less sleep, but or then as we 1:25:39.640 --> 1:25:42.639 get quite old, and we know as we're getting closer 1:25:42.720 --> 1:25:47.440 to our time of death, that our sleep often increases, 1:25:47.920 --> 1:25:53.080 but generally, for a number of years, our sleep, the 1:25:53.120 --> 1:25:56.799 amount that we're getting does decrease, but it is relatively small. 1:25:57.040 --> 1:25:59.160 It may only be in the order of half an hour. 1:25:59.800 --> 1:26:03.800 So we need a little bit less sleep perhaps, or 1:26:03.800 --> 1:26:05.519 maybe we're just achieving. 1:26:05.040 --> 1:26:05.760 A little bit less. 1:26:06.000 --> 1:26:07.240 So is there a magic number? 1:26:08.520 --> 1:26:11.040 Well, the magic number is seven to nine hours, based 1:26:11.080 --> 1:26:15.600 upon the evidence that we've got and based upon expert consensus. 1:26:15.640 --> 1:26:17.400 So you know, getting a bunch of experts in the 1:26:17.479 --> 1:26:20.640 room looking at all of this evidence around health outcomes 1:26:21.200 --> 1:26:24.479 and they recommend seven to nine hours. However, there are 1:26:24.479 --> 1:26:28.000 not many experts out there that are going to say, look, 1:26:28.040 --> 1:26:30.320 if you're getting nine and a half and ten hours 1:26:30.360 --> 1:26:35.080 sleep per day, and you are waking up feeling good, 1:26:35.200 --> 1:26:38.559 feeling refreshed, and you're functioning well, I want you to 1:26:38.640 --> 1:26:41.280 chop an hour off that because we want to bring 1:26:41.320 --> 1:26:44.240 you into that seven to nine range. No one's going 1:26:44.280 --> 1:26:47.160 to say that if people are waking up feeling refreshed 1:26:47.680 --> 1:26:51.120 and they're getting more than that seven that nine hours 1:26:51.800 --> 1:26:55.040 and it's not too much more, then I think that 1:26:55.040 --> 1:26:58.920 that's probably going to be okay. If we're talking about eleven, twelve, 1:26:59.040 --> 1:27:03.479 thirteen hours. Maybe someone wants to go and get themselves 1:27:03.560 --> 1:27:06.800 investigated to see whether there is something else that's going on. 1:27:06.920 --> 1:27:09.800 Is there another health condition that is contributing to that 1:27:09.920 --> 1:27:10.599 long sleep? 1:27:10.760 --> 1:27:14.559 Good advice Nanka Jen Pleasure, sleep well, Jen Welsh, he's 1:27:14.600 --> 1:27:18.600 the director of the Center for Sleep Science. I'm just 1:27:18.680 --> 1:27:20.519 having a look at the Apprikay. So I use a 1:27:20.560 --> 1:27:24.920 bit bit and it measures my sleep. So last week, 1:27:25.000 --> 1:27:27.479 the average sleep that I had was seven hours twenty 1:27:27.520 --> 1:27:30.200 five But if I look it on a daily basis, 1:27:30.240 --> 1:27:33.320 the average is blown out by what I sleep on weekends. 1:27:33.520 --> 1:27:36.080 So on weekends I will sleep more than eight hours generally, 1:27:36.080 --> 1:27:39.920 but then some weekdays. Gee, last Wednesday four hours and 1:27:39.960 --> 1:27:43.120 forty three minutes. That wasn't flash. Let me know how 1:27:43.120 --> 1:27:45.679 you're sleeping one three, one eight seven three. Mark Guy 1:27:45.760 --> 1:27:49.400 reviewing all the rugby league action coming up shortly revealed 1:27:49.400 --> 1:27:52.639 today there has been a six week delay in tunnel 1:27:52.640 --> 1:27:54.840 boring for the Metro West train line. This is the 1:27:54.880 --> 1:27:57.560 new Metro that will run from the city to Paramatta 1:27:57.720 --> 1:28:00.799 and Westmeat and this is worth twenty five billion dollars. 1:28:00.920 --> 1:28:03.000 The halt has been sparked. This has been revealed by 1:28:03.000 --> 1:28:06.720 the Cidney Morning Herald today because it concerns the tunneling 1:28:06.800 --> 1:28:08.920 was going to go too close to the piles. The 1:28:08.960 --> 1:28:12.240 foundations from Major Telster Exchange, which is not far from 1:28:12.240 --> 1:28:15.960 where this big Paramatta CBD metro train station is going 1:28:16.000 --> 1:28:19.480 to be internal documents that have been seen by their herald. 1:28:19.600 --> 1:28:22.439 So the contractors were concerned well over a year ago 1:28:23.080 --> 1:28:25.559 that one of the tunnel boring machines, and they're huge 1:28:25.600 --> 1:28:28.519 or one hundred and eighty meters long, would actually dig 1:28:28.640 --> 1:28:31.400 really close to the piles. So the foundations of the 1:28:31.479 --> 1:28:35.880 multi story Telstra building at two hundred and thirteen Church Street, well, 1:28:35.880 --> 1:28:38.320 the Premier Chris Mins has been asked today when did 1:28:38.320 --> 1:28:39.799 he know this was going to be a problem. 1:28:39.880 --> 1:28:41.960 Generally speaking, they knew that it would be a more 1:28:41.960 --> 1:28:45.040 complex build as you got closer to the surface around Paramatta. 1:28:45.280 --> 1:28:48.559 And as far as when I was briefed, my understanding 1:28:48.560 --> 1:28:51.040 is the Minister for Transport was briefed about the challenges 1:28:51.360 --> 1:28:52.080 weeks ago. 1:28:52.439 --> 1:28:54.880 It is hoped the tunnel boring machines will soon resume 1:28:54.920 --> 1:28:57.400 their operations. 1:28:56.120 --> 1:28:59.439 Wogvs Winter Wheel. 1:29:00.400 --> 1:29:03.200 That is the cue to call. We're looking for the 1:29:03.240 --> 1:29:05.720 fourth caller one three hundred and seven double two eight 1:29:05.800 --> 1:29:09.360 seven three for your chance to spin two GB's Winter Wheel, 1:29:09.520 --> 1:29:12.280 a combined forty thousand dollars worth of cash and prizes 1:29:12.360 --> 1:29:14.559 to give away. We gave away two and a half 1:29:14.600 --> 1:29:18.160 thousand dollars on Friday, so I've got the lucky touch 1:29:18.360 --> 1:29:21.120 when it comes to spinning the Winter Wheel. There's cash, 1:29:21.120 --> 1:29:23.600 prizes to give away. We've also got tickets to the 1:29:23.600 --> 1:29:25.720 state of origin. Decide which, of course. We played at 1:29:25.760 --> 1:29:28.720 the Course Stadium on Wednesday, the ninth of July. You'll 1:29:28.760 --> 1:29:31.400 hear it here, but even better than listening on the radio, 1:29:31.479 --> 1:29:34.879 will actually be there. So that's on the wheel this afternoon, 1:29:34.880 --> 1:29:37.400 along with prizes and National tiles and the DDS Group 1:29:37.439 --> 1:29:41.559 as well, plus cash. So give me a call. One 1:29:41.760 --> 1:29:53.280 three hundred seven double two eight seven three. There's a 1:29:53.320 --> 1:29:57.960 wallaby on the loose. Now, don't fret. It's not running 1:29:58.000 --> 1:30:01.080 around George Street. It's not in Pitts Street. It's in 1:30:01.160 --> 1:30:05.759 New York. What there is a wallaby on the loose 1:30:05.960 --> 1:30:10.080 in New York. It's been revealed that the marsupial has 1:30:10.200 --> 1:30:14.200 escaped the Central New York Zoo. It was spotted on 1:30:14.240 --> 1:30:17.880 a thermal dome camera the wallaby's name is Mac. It 1:30:18.040 --> 1:30:22.639 escaped yesterday from the New York Zoo and they've been 1:30:22.680 --> 1:30:26.559 searching high and low for the wallaby named Mac. And 1:30:27.040 --> 1:30:29.320 the people at zoo say, we can't find her. So 1:30:29.439 --> 1:30:32.920 she we've been trying for hours to catch her can't 1:30:32.920 --> 1:30:36.800 be found. They actually had to suspend the search for 1:30:36.800 --> 1:30:38.519 a little while because apparently they we're going to cause 1:30:38.560 --> 1:30:42.719 Maxi stress On social media, the Zoo's revealed the current 1:30:42.760 --> 1:30:46.400 plan is not working because the amount of space involved 1:30:46.400 --> 1:30:49.719 in this search. In the meantime, based on the thermal 1:30:49.760 --> 1:30:52.920 imaging cameras, we can see she is enjoy eating grass. 1:30:53.600 --> 1:30:57.240 But they can't actually capture Mac. If you see a 1:30:57.280 --> 1:31:01.760 wallaby jumping around, hopping around at the New York Zuo. 1:31:02.960 --> 1:31:04.720 Bad day on the stock market and in response to 1:31:04.720 --> 1:31:06.479 what's happened in the Middle East, the fifth day in 1:31:06.520 --> 1:31:09.200 a row, the ax has closed down. Scott Hayward'll bring 1:31:09.280 --> 1:31:11.360 us all the details shortly. Oh, this is a great 1:31:11.400 --> 1:31:15.000 text message from Christian zero force zero eight seven three 1:31:15.080 --> 1:31:17.320 eight seven three. I just mentioned there have been delays 1:31:17.320 --> 1:31:20.519 with tunneling for the new Metro under Paramatta because it's 1:31:20.520 --> 1:31:23.360 emerged the tunnel operation has come close to the foundations 1:31:23.360 --> 1:31:26.840 of major Telstra exchange. Christian said what they needed to 1:31:26.920 --> 1:31:29.240 do they needed the drain man to dig the tunnel, 1:31:29.439 --> 1:31:30.920 because the drain man to be able to do that 1:31:30.960 --> 1:31:32.600 without disturbing anything above. 1:31:34.000 --> 1:31:35.000 Two gbs. 1:31:35.400 --> 1:31:40.000 Winter Wheel, let's play the Winter Wheel.

Let's check 1:33:43.640 --> 1:33:51.120 out news headlines and with the latest Katie Cooler and Clinton. 1:33:51.240 --> 1:33:55.080 Australia is backing the US president's decision to attack Iranian 1:33:55.200 --> 1:33:58.480 nuclear sites, but says now is the time for diplomacy. 1:33:58.920 --> 1:34:02.200 Donald Trump has tested regime change may be needed in 1:34:02.240 --> 1:34:06.160 the Islamic Republic if its leaders can't make Iran great again. 1:34:06.720 --> 1:34:09.360 A toddler has died in an incident at a home 1:34:09.439 --> 1:34:12.439 in Port Stevens. Police were called to a property at 1:34:12.479 --> 1:34:15.880 Fingle Bay, finding the two year old unresponsive. They couldn't 1:34:15.920 --> 1:34:20.400 be saved. A whale has been freed after becoming entangled 1:34:20.400 --> 1:34:23.800 in a row pop Sydney's Northern Beaches. National Parks and 1:34:23.840 --> 1:34:27.280 Wildlife will continue to monitor the hump back and postage 1:34:27.320 --> 1:34:29.800 prices is said to go up from next month. The 1:34:29.840 --> 1:34:32.360 basic rate for small letters will jump from a dollar 1:34:32.439 --> 1:34:35.760 fifty to a dollar seventy and ordinary large letters will 1:34:35.800 --> 1:34:39.400 increase by forty cents. In Sport, a total of forty 1:34:39.439 --> 1:34:42.400 three Australians will compete the one hundred and thirty eighth 1:34:42.560 --> 1:34:46.479 edition of Wimbledin, with qualifying beginning today. World number one 1:34:46.600 --> 1:34:49.640 hundred and two. Tristan Schoolgate is chasing his debut in 1:34:49.720 --> 1:34:52.120 the main draw Clinton more news at six. 1:34:52.160 --> 1:34:55.479 K Katie eighteen degrees on the coast, fourteen degrees in Penris. 1:34:55.520 --> 1:34:57.920 So the temperatures are falling quite dark across the city. 1:34:57.960 --> 1:35:00.400 Now it won't be as cool tonight as it was 1:35:00.520 --> 1:35:02.720 across the weekend. It looks like the weather throughout the 1:35:02.720 --> 1:35:06.080 week's actually going to be pretty good. Waverley Council has 1:35:06.160 --> 1:35:10.680 unveiled plans today for two point three million dollar proposal 1:35:10.840 --> 1:35:15.000 for what they're calling memorial walls. Now, the cemetery at 1:35:15.080 --> 1:35:18.120 Waverley is one of the city's oldest. It dates back 1:35:18.160 --> 1:35:20.599 more than one hundred years and it's known for very 1:35:20.640 --> 1:35:25.920 prominent Victorian monuments throughout the cemetery. But like most parts 1:35:25.960 --> 1:35:28.800 of Sydney, they're now running out of space at the 1:35:28.800 --> 1:35:32.800 Waverley Cemetery. So what they've displayed today is this plan, 1:35:32.920 --> 1:35:35.560 and this is common in cemeteries in different parts of 1:35:35.560 --> 1:35:37.160 the country, but they haven't done it like this in 1:35:37.200 --> 1:35:40.000 Waverley before. Is they're going to spend two point three 1:35:40.040 --> 1:35:43.519 million dollars on a memorial wall and it will contain 1:35:43.640 --> 1:35:47.639 small compartments where remains can be given a permanent resting place. 1:35:48.160 --> 1:35:50.719 But what this will do, it will generate six million 1:35:50.720 --> 1:35:53.759 dollars in revenue for the site in the coming years. 1:35:54.120 --> 1:35:58.640 And reality is a Waverley Council, like most organizations that 1:35:58.760 --> 1:36:00.880 run cemeteries, are having problems at the moment, they're simply 1:36:00.960 --> 1:36:03.080 running out of space. They've decided this is going to 1:36:03.080 --> 1:36:03.599 be the answer. 1:36:06.000 --> 1:36:08.080 Finance update, Well, it's. 1:36:07.920 --> 1:36:09.599 Been a fairly rough day on the stock market and 1:36:09.600 --> 1:36:12.000 that has a lot to do with what's happening overseas 1:36:12.040 --> 1:36:14.080 in the Middle East. Scott Hayward filling in for deb 1:36:14.200 --> 1:36:17.280 Night tonight on Money News from seven o'clock. Hello, Scott Clinton. 1:36:16.920 --> 1:36:20.240 You talked about cooling weather. Well, I'm actually impressed with 1:36:20.280 --> 1:36:23.599 how our share market recovered this afternoon. It only closed 1:36:23.640 --> 1:36:25.920 down thirty points zero point four percent to eight thousand, 1:36:26.280 --> 1:36:28.880 four hundred and seventy four Now, obviously this is the 1:36:28.880 --> 1:36:31.559 first time our market has been opened since the US 1:36:31.600 --> 1:36:35.080 bomb crucial nuclear sides in Iran yesterday morning our time, 1:36:35.160 --> 1:36:39.160 but utilities financials Conwalth Bank it a fresh record highs today, 1:36:39.160 --> 1:36:41.040 which is great news for a lot of people who 1:36:41.080 --> 1:36:43.880 have retail and industry super funds, which Commonwealth Bank will 1:36:43.920 --> 1:36:46.759 probably be the line's share of that. Energy stocks also 1:36:47.280 --> 1:36:51.200 maintained its gains. So you know, Iran is the seventh 1:36:51.240 --> 1:36:53.400 largest all producer on the planet as well as being 1:36:53.439 --> 1:36:57.240 the third largest gas producer of natural gas on the 1:36:57.240 --> 1:37:00.360 planet as well. And despite all of that unred that 1:37:00.360 --> 1:37:02.679 we've seen over the last twenty four to forty eight hours, 1:37:03.120 --> 1:37:05.639 the shell market has been resilient both here and even 1:37:05.680 --> 1:37:08.000 the US futures, which we'll talk about tonight on month 1:37:08.000 --> 1:37:11.439 and US from seven o'clock are looking reasonable considering what's 1:37:11.479 --> 1:37:12.160 been taking place. 1:37:12.280 --> 1:37:14.400 Soko's a point of that it's the fifth day it's 1:37:14.439 --> 1:37:17.639 been down, but relatively it could have been far worse 1:37:17.800 --> 1:37:18.919 because it made that comeback. 1:37:19.160 --> 1:37:21.120 Well, that's right. The only thing that I think will 1:37:21.240 --> 1:37:25.400 hurt us, you know, across the two GB listening audience, 1:37:25.439 --> 1:37:29.360 will be the price of petrol. And the price did hit, 1:37:29.439 --> 1:37:32.000 Brent Crudle did hit above eighty dollars just after a 1:37:32.080 --> 1:37:34.679 quarter past eleven this morning. It leveled off at around 1:37:34.680 --> 1:37:37.080 seventy eight dollars. It does mean that the price of 1:37:37.120 --> 1:37:40.080 petrol will go up in my opinion. So if you're 1:37:40.120 --> 1:37:43.320 driving home now listening to two GB filling out the tank, 1:37:43.360 --> 1:37:45.920 now at you a dollar seventy seven, a dollar eighty 1:37:45.960 --> 1:37:49.639 one is not bad. Economists are talking back above two 1:37:49.680 --> 1:37:53.400 dollars between now and maybe again. We've got school holidays 1:37:53.439 --> 1:37:56.639 coming up, so that's also a time when petrol also spikes. 1:37:56.720 --> 1:37:58.320 Yeah. Peter Coury made that point with me a little 1:37:58.320 --> 1:37:59.920 earlier from the NRMA. Today is the day to phill. 1:38:00.200 --> 1:38:03.360 I saw petrol selling Z ten for underd dollars seven 1:38:03.400 --> 1:38:05.960 year leater at some of the surveys in Sydney this afternoon. 1:38:06.000 --> 1:38:08.200 So Philip today, because it's only going to go up 1:38:08.240 --> 1:38:11.719 in one direction. Another giant of the international business world 1:38:11.760 --> 1:38:12.559 has passed away. 1:38:13.160 --> 1:38:17.400 Yeah, Fred Smith, the founder of FedEx. He passed away 1:38:17.520 --> 1:38:20.040 at the age of eighty. He had more than fifty 1:38:20.120 --> 1:38:24.680 years in the business of freight and parcel services. He 1:38:24.800 --> 1:38:29.400 benefited significantly from the invention of the Internet, now delivering 1:38:29.400 --> 1:38:33.840 the FedEx business seventeen million parcels every day. But hold 1:38:33.840 --> 1:38:36.759 tety is Clinton, you love this story. At one point, 1:38:37.120 --> 1:38:40.040 I think it was about forty years ago, the company 1:38:40.080 --> 1:38:43.439 was almost broke. They had five thousand dollars in the bank. 1:38:43.720 --> 1:38:46.360 He went to Las Vegas. He gambled it all on 1:38:46.439 --> 1:38:51.280 blackjack and won twenty seven thousand dollars. I'm not condoning 1:38:51.560 --> 1:38:52.559 any gambling at all. 1:38:52.479 --> 1:38:53.840 And we don't provide financial advice. 1:38:53.960 --> 1:38:56.320 Of course, you know, I've got to hang a barashuit 1:38:56.360 --> 1:38:58.800 over my head on that. But that paid for the 1:38:58.840 --> 1:39:03.040 company's fuel bill which covered the week of drivers for 1:39:03.080 --> 1:39:06.799 the week. And in twenty twenty two he still remained 1:39:06.960 --> 1:39:09.519 as the CEO. Sorry, he still remained as executive chairman 1:39:09.560 --> 1:39:13.519 after he resigned as CEO and upon passing his net 1:39:13.560 --> 1:39:16.840 worth is US five point three billion dollars. So what 1:39:16.960 --> 1:39:19.880 a turn of events from a five thousand dollar punt 1:39:20.280 --> 1:39:22.360 on the last five thousand dollars to try and get 1:39:22.360 --> 1:39:26.440 a few packages in the door.

Yeah, I did see that. 1:39:44.000 --> 1:39:45.920 That's a quite Extraordin'm going to talk about that as well. 1:39:46.040 --> 1:39:48.439 My money used tonight writing on TGB from seven o'clock. 1:39:48.520 --> 1:39:50.880 Good on your Scott Scott Tayward filling in tonight for 1:39:50.960 --> 1:39:53.880 deb Night.

It's 1:40:09.160 --> 1:40:12.400 around fifteen sixteen degrees, nineteen degrees on the coast. It 1:40:12.439 --> 1:40:15.599 will remain dry tonight. Tomorrow the weather is not going 1:40:15.680 --> 1:40:17.519 to be as good as the high chance of showers 1:40:17.680 --> 1:40:20.240 likely late morning and into the afternoon a top of 1:40:20.240 --> 1:40:22.519 twenty one degrees. The rain will only be hanging around 1:40:22.520 --> 1:40:25.120 for a one day tomorrow. It'll be partly cloudy on Wednesday, 1:40:25.400 --> 1:40:28.320 partly cloudy on Thursday, and a few showers on Friday. 1:40:28.320 --> 1:40:30.040 Oh that's right. I know why it's going to rain tomorrow. 1:40:30.360 --> 1:40:32.559 You know it's going to rain tomorrow because it's State 1:40:32.680 --> 1:40:36.600 budget Day.

Hello, MG, Halo. 1:40:48.000 --> 1:40:50.519 Clint, just listening to that great chat about the FedEx owner. 1:40:50.840 --> 1:40:52.760 Maybe it's time for you to bank some money on 1:40:52.800 --> 1:40:55.879 your shark. He's at twenty six dollars to win the competition. 1:40:56.000 --> 1:40:57.080 They're blowing out, are they? 1:40:57.720 --> 1:40:59.080 They are blowing out? Mate? Yep? 1:40:59.640 --> 1:41:01.519 Look, I know this is your top ist shit you 1:41:01.520 --> 1:41:03.479 want to talk about today. What exactly is happening with 1:41:03.520 --> 1:41:04.080 the Sharks? 1:41:05.640 --> 1:41:07.559 Well, not really, that's kind of one of the issues. 1:41:07.760 --> 1:41:09.479 I Look, there are three losses. 1:41:09.560 --> 1:41:12.360 They've got beaten forty two to sixteen by the Roosters 1:41:12.400 --> 1:41:14.639 and then that was without five of their origin players 1:41:14.640 --> 1:41:18.080 and forty to ten from the Warriors. Now yesterday they 1:41:18.160 --> 1:41:21.000 blew a sixteen point lead against the Broncos and went 1:41:21.000 --> 1:41:22.120 down thirty four to twenty eight. 1:41:22.400 --> 1:41:24.120 The probably thigh on is they're still sitting in the 1:41:24.120 --> 1:41:24.799 sixth positions. 1:41:24.880 --> 1:41:28.479 So look, they are one of them teams that you 1:41:28.520 --> 1:41:31.200 know they're going to be there come semi final time, 1:41:31.200 --> 1:41:33.959 but they just have trouble beating them that top leshound 1:41:33.960 --> 1:41:36.200 of teams that so it would seem and there is 1:41:36.240 --> 1:41:38.960 a call for maybe ever change in the halves with 1:41:39.200 --> 1:41:44.400 maybe atkinsonder partner the Trindle and looking somewhere for welld 1:41:44.600 --> 1:41:45.559 the Santas or fullback. 1:41:45.640 --> 1:41:45.800 Look. 1:41:45.960 --> 1:41:47.960 I obviously had a lot of attention in that game yesterday, 1:41:48.000 --> 1:41:51.519 and I disagree with that. But the problem the team 1:41:51.560 --> 1:41:54.679 has got is they don't show any ticker And yeah, 1:41:55.000 --> 1:41:58.120 you're led by halves. But they played well for sixty 1:41:58.120 --> 1:42:00.439 minutes of that game, but when the going got tough, 1:42:00.840 --> 1:42:03.320 they couldn't go with them the Broncos, and it was 1:42:03.320 --> 1:42:05.479 actually the best they've played in weeks in the first half, 1:42:05.680 --> 1:42:07.680 and then they were down twelve. They were down to 1:42:07.720 --> 1:42:11.200 twelve men and they scored a try, so that they 1:42:11.280 --> 1:42:14.639 actually showed something. But whether it's Nickeo, whether it's Trindle, 1:42:14.960 --> 1:42:16.479 there were plenty of bad players out there in the 1:42:16.560 --> 1:42:19.439 last twenty minutes. They don't have any resilience. And this 1:42:19.479 --> 1:42:22.759 is what I don't understand MG. As a player. Craig 1:42:22.800 --> 1:42:25.680 Fitzgibven was all about resilience, he was all about toughness. 1:42:25.840 --> 1:42:27.480 His team shows the opposite. 1:42:28.160 --> 1:42:30.080 Yeah, I've got to agree with you, Why don't you 1:42:30.080 --> 1:42:32.360 say I think it sort of after Brawley's try you 1:42:32.400 --> 1:42:34.960 mentioned that with twelve men, I thought, where do we 1:42:35.000 --> 1:42:36.519 go the Sharkis are going to win one, that's going 1:42:36.560 --> 1:42:38.519 to be a great one in front of a hostile 1:42:38.520 --> 1:42:42.160 away crowd. But they just they capitulated, and I think 1:42:42.479 --> 1:42:44.960 the Bronco scored the last four or five tries. So 1:42:45.560 --> 1:42:47.160 but anyway, all I got to say is here come 1:42:47.240 --> 1:42:51.160 the Premiers. After the Panthers led, they lost the Newcastle 1:42:51.160 --> 1:42:54.000 in around twelve. Remember that game against the Knights in 1:42:54.040 --> 1:42:57.000 baptist without their origin star and the Knights kicked there 1:42:57.000 --> 1:43:00.360 but twenty five points to six. Well, I thought that 1:43:00.360 --> 1:43:02.960 that's all penefitingam last in the ladder. Well, since then 1:43:02.960 --> 1:43:06.240 they've gone Trino bus a bye to I've been now 1:43:06.280 --> 1:43:08.680 singing eighth position on the ladder. I think it was 1:43:08.680 --> 1:43:10.000 the winner of the year, the winner of the year 1:43:10.000 --> 1:43:13.080 against the Warriors on the weekend without their five origin stars. 1:43:13.120 --> 1:43:17.320 And I think likewise the Rousters, who basically well history 1:43:17.360 --> 1:43:19.080 of they can't win the cop because they've got beaten 1:43:19.120 --> 1:43:22.240 in the first round of the season by the Broncos 1:43:22.280 --> 1:43:24.840 fifty points to fourteen. So that they have now won 1:43:24.880 --> 1:43:27.800 seven games. They're sitting in seventh position. The Roosters and 1:43:28.240 --> 1:43:30.640 that man Tedesco, I think he's the early favorite for 1:43:30.720 --> 1:43:32.080 the Dally And Medal. 1:43:31.840 --> 1:43:33.720 Of the Year and watching a little bit of the 1:43:33.760 --> 1:43:37.240 Roosters game yesterday, what I don't understand, MG, is how 1:43:37.280 --> 1:43:39.479 they're going to put daily Cherry Evans into that team. 1:43:40.240 --> 1:43:43.240 I think that I think that's boat sailed, I really do. 1:43:43.400 --> 1:43:44.200 I think, but. 1:43:44.160 --> 1:43:45.880 They've signed him think allegedly. 1:43:46.560 --> 1:43:49.320 Well, I think they've got to maybe do what they 1:43:49.479 --> 1:43:52.360 did the Titans and do a backflip and maybe maybe 1:43:52.520 --> 1:43:54.280 maybe DC he can end up with the Titans, because 1:43:54.280 --> 1:43:55.920 I think that's the moment who need him. 1:43:55.960 --> 1:43:56.439 I think that at the. 1:43:56.479 --> 1:43:59.320 Moment watching that game betweenty the Eagles and the Titans 1:43:59.360 --> 1:44:02.240 last night, it wants to finish his career with the Premiership. 1:44:02.240 --> 1:44:04.880 But these two young kids at Santa and. 1:44:04.800 --> 1:44:07.479 Swift and Savala at the Roosters, they're doing an all 1:44:07.520 --> 1:44:10.720 mighty job and they have they have all year. And 1:44:10.720 --> 1:44:12.880 if they's still got Walker to come back, so one 1:44:12.920 --> 1:44:14.200 of them has got to be on the bench. And 1:44:14.240 --> 1:44:17.439 that means if Walker comes back and DC, he comes 1:44:17.439 --> 1:44:19.320 and get rid of both of them. So that's that's 1:44:19.640 --> 1:44:20.160 that's not good. 1:44:20.360 --> 1:44:22.639 That's not good. I think both of these kids were great. 1:44:23.040 --> 1:44:25.040 They could do when with Walker comes back and maybe 1:44:25.040 --> 1:44:27.000 seeing the Smith's it's on the bench at number fourteen. 1:44:27.080 --> 1:44:30.680 But yeah, look, I think the ship has sailed. I 1:44:30.720 --> 1:44:33.280 think that's I don't think it's it's good management or business. 1:44:33.320 --> 1:44:36.040 If you assign him now to upset the aboucar that's 1:44:36.040 --> 1:44:37.760 flowing with the roosters. 1:44:37.680 --> 1:44:39.120 I think you're going to go if you look at 1:44:39.800 --> 1:44:40.360 his management. 1:44:40.400 --> 1:44:42.960 I look at the team that that need him, and 1:44:43.000 --> 1:44:45.080 that's why that's that's probably just the Titans at the moment. 1:44:45.560 --> 1:44:48.439 Absolutely, absolutely, he should definitely go to the Titans. 1:44:53.000 --> 1:44:53.160 Now. 1:44:53.479 --> 1:44:54.840 I know you've got your dog bear. 1:44:54.800 --> 1:44:59.360 MG, that's what he is. 1:44:59.479 --> 1:45:01.320 They want to you know what. They're sad. 1:45:01.840 --> 1:45:06.200 There's been research. There's been research released today showing that winter, 1:45:06.920 --> 1:45:11.200 in winter, there is a rise in seasonal depression in dogs. 1:45:11.200 --> 1:45:14.000 The statistics showed that eighty one percent of owners say 1:45:14.439 --> 1:45:17.519 they walk their less dog when it's dark. Eighty four 1:45:17.560 --> 1:45:20.040 percent then notice that their dog sleeps more in winter 1:45:20.240 --> 1:45:23.000 because the poor puppy is depressed, including yours. 1:45:24.360 --> 1:45:26.320 I think that I think they mirror I think they 1:45:26.360 --> 1:45:29.160 mirror their owners. I think that dogs basically, if fIF 1:45:29.360 --> 1:45:31.840 your owners not as actly as they are in winter, 1:45:32.520 --> 1:45:34.360 then the dogs aren't certainly aren't going to be. I 1:45:34.400 --> 1:45:36.639 think people aren't really prone to get up and walk 1:45:36.680 --> 1:45:38.519 the dogs if they're not going to have to walk themselves. 1:45:38.560 --> 1:45:41.040 So I call a bit of boss on this. I 1:45:41.120 --> 1:45:43.439 think the owner's ship is on the owners to get 1:45:43.520 --> 1:45:46.439 up and get off your kaiba, get on the streets. 1:45:46.640 --> 1:45:48.920 Doesn't matter if it's dark, put a little put a 1:45:48.920 --> 1:45:51.240 miner's lamp on your head, and away you go, shot. 1:45:51.160 --> 1:45:54.600 And bewond the miner's lap. So do you put a 1:45:54.640 --> 1:45:56.320 miner's lamp on your head when you're walking around? 1:45:56.360 --> 1:46:00.560 Benruth, I wear flura so they can see me. 1:46:01.640 --> 1:46:04.120 Hey, your grandson is nine months old today? 1:46:04.360 --> 1:46:07.360 Yeah, rivers nine months old today, and it hasn't had 1:46:07.400 --> 1:46:11.640 that's gone quick. But it's amazing how we kind of 1:46:13.760 --> 1:46:16.640 so celebrate these milestones when they're Look one of my 1:46:16.760 --> 1:46:19.960 kids were, you know, six months, seven months, eight months, 1:46:20.040 --> 1:46:20.439 nine months. 1:46:20.479 --> 1:46:22.240 I kind of we didn't celebrate until that one. 1:46:22.240 --> 1:46:24.799 But yeah, little guys, little guys nine months old today 1:46:24.920 --> 1:46:27.679 and we're having a little dinner for him tonight, cooking 1:46:27.720 --> 1:46:30.440 him his special spaghetti. 1:46:30.080 --> 1:46:32.559 Violin aide with his vegetables. And life is. 1:46:32.479 --> 1:46:33.200 Good at the moment. 1:46:33.280 --> 1:46:35.519 Life is great because he's in our life. 1:46:35.560 --> 1:46:37.920 I'm obviously a long way away from that. But when 1:46:37.960 --> 1:46:40.839 you're a grandparent to those little milestones, do they somehow 1:46:40.880 --> 1:46:42.840 need more than with your own kids? 1:46:43.880 --> 1:46:47.840 Oh definitely. I look I honestly, I honestly believe that 1:46:47.960 --> 1:46:52.040 I never thought I could, I could love a child 1:46:52.080 --> 1:46:54.000 as much as I love my own kids until a 1:46:54.040 --> 1:46:56.880 grand kid comes along. It's it's so different now. 1:46:57.120 --> 1:47:00.679 You obviously adore your own children because but when you're 1:47:00.680 --> 1:47:03.120 in the middle of raising them, and you're in the 1:47:03.160 --> 1:47:05.240 middle of looking after them and taking them the sport 1:47:05.280 --> 1:47:08.200 and taking them to the school, and you don't have 1:47:08.280 --> 1:47:09.839 time to do what you're doing now with your grandkid 1:47:09.880 --> 1:47:12.080 that's just basically cuddle him and kiss him and then 1:47:12.120 --> 1:47:13.800 give him back to Marble Dad when he's done a poo, 1:47:13.840 --> 1:47:15.080 when he's happy. 1:47:14.880 --> 1:47:15.040 Or. 1:47:19.360 --> 1:47:23.240 You're such a top lay MG. Hey, we'll talk tomorrow, buddy. 1:47:23.040 --> 1:47:32.960 So Mark go back with us on Tuesday afternoon. Could 1:47:33.040 --> 1:47:35.880 your picture have an MG as your grandpa?

I think it's 1:48:37.200 --> 1:48:39.479 a she. She'll be monitored as she swims up the 1:48:39.479 --> 1:48:41.519 cause she was tangled in about one hundred and fifty 1:48:41.520 --> 1:48:44.479 meters worth of line.
