Speaker 1: Onto GV. This is sitting now with Clinton Maynard.
Speaker 2: Monday, June twenty three. It is Clinton Maynard back with you.
Speaker 2: One three one eight seven three is our number. Stunning
Speaker 2: winters afternoon, you'd be mistaken for thinking it's spring. Well
Speaker 2: maybe not early in the morning. It's still very cold
Speaker 2: in the morning. If you drive past a service station
Speaker 2: this afternoon you see petrol around the Douglas seven year lead,
Speaker 2: please pill up. The official message from the NROMA today
Speaker 2: and we will talk to them on the show is
Speaker 2: the petrol prices are about to go up, and potentially
Speaker 2: significantly so, and this is because of the war in
Speaker 2: the Middle East. The wholesale price actually increased by eight
Speaker 2: cents about a week ago and that's yet to really
Speaker 2: take effect at service stations, but it's going to coming
Speaker 2: up on the program. Nurses have been railing outside westmeat
Speaker 2: Hospital this afternoon, claiming maternity resources are savagely under what's
Speaker 2: expected at the hospital, to the point babies are being
Speaker 2: treated in corridors and storerooms. Now the government's denying that
Speaker 2: and the Health Minister Ryan Park will hold a meeting
Speaker 2: at Westmead later this week. But I'll talk to a
Speaker 2: midwife on the show a little later. New research shows
Speaker 2: getting too much sleep could actually lead to an early death.
Speaker 2: I'll talk to a sleep expert about exactly how much
Speaker 2: sleep we should be getting. Mark Guy with all the
Speaker 2: news on the weekend's Footy, and I will be spinning
Speaker 2: two GB's Winter Wheel, your chance to win hundreds, maybe thousands.
Speaker 2: We gave away two and a half thousand dollars on Friday,
Speaker 2: so this is the program to play the Winter Wheel.
Speaker 2: Don't call yet. Don't call yet. You need to be
Speaker 2: listening for the qu to call. You are my eyes
Speaker 2: and ears when it's happening in Sydney now, so send
Speaker 2: me a text message zero four s zero eight seven
Speaker 2: three eight seven three our number one three one eight
Speaker 2: seven three. Well, right now I am looking at vision
Speaker 2: of a humpback whale that is clearly in distress off
Speaker 2: Sydney's northern ba. This whale is off it's off Palm
Speaker 2: Beach at the moment, first discovered in some trouble by
Speaker 2: drones that have been deployed. It is tangled in a
Speaker 2: large long line, probably about one hundred and fifty meters worth.
Speaker 2: I can see that the whale now tossing. Now there's
Speaker 2: an operation that's undergoing to try to free this whale
Speaker 2: from being tangled in this line. It is being led
Speaker 2: by National Parks and Wildlife. Chad Western joins me. Chad,
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the vision at the moment and this
Speaker 2: is an operation that's been going on for about an
Speaker 2: hour an hour. What can you tell us.
Speaker 3: Hello, mate? Well, I'm pleased to say that most of
Speaker 3: the lines now been removed from the animal. There's still
Speaker 3: a few pieces we're working on. But the team became
Speaker 3: aware of it into the evening last night when it
Speaker 3: was in the Manly area right and this morning we
Speaker 3: stood up for our large Whale Disentanglement team and they've
Speaker 3: been out on the water since around eleven o'clock today
Speaker 3: with the assistance of ORCA and Marine Rescue and water Police,
Speaker 3: and they've managed to free most of the rope, so
Speaker 3: you're right there that it was about one hundred and
Speaker 3: fifty meters of line with four boys wrapped around the body,
Speaker 3: the peck fins and tail, and they've removed most of
Speaker 3: that now. They've got probably a single wrap left on
Speaker 3: the pectoral ring pectoral fin and they're working on that
Speaker 3: now and hopefully they'll be back ashore soon.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 2: I can see the whale at the moment, and it's
Speaker 2: actually tossing over, so it was on its back just
Speaker 2: a few moments ago. And the line that I can
Speaker 2: see in the water, it's difficult because this is in
Speaker 2: the deep blue water off the coast. I can see
Speaker 2: clearly one line and there's a white boy on that line.
Speaker 2: So would that be just the last remaining piece of
Speaker 2: line that's tangling this whale?
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I'm not sure when the imagery you're looking
Speaker 3: at is from. And you're right around the drone assistance
Speaker 3: provided by agencies like Walker. They've been flying out drones
Speaker 3: and having a look at the entanglement and then sharing
Speaker 3: it with us and our team on the ground so
Speaker 3: that they can target those pieces. But the immediate advice,
Speaker 3: because I've been working with the team all day, is
Speaker 3: that most of it has been removed, with a single
Speaker 3: wrap remaining on that left right in and a small
Speaker 3: piece at the mouth which is free and we hope
Speaker 3: it will Dislidge.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 2: Your cruise have done a great job. Because I was
Speaker 2: watching a little earlier where this is about half an
Speaker 2: hour ago, where three of your officers that are in
Speaker 2: a red dinghy that says Wildlife Rescue on the side
Speaker 2: of it. They were as probably as close as they
Speaker 2: could safely get. And I guess are they manipulating the
Speaker 2: tools they use to try to disentangle the whale?
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, so what they what they do? Obviously, we
Speaker 3: take a fair bit of time just to monitor the
Speaker 3: whale first to understand its behavior and how we'll respond
Speaker 3: to approach, and to see where it's at with its
Speaker 3: behavior with respective fatigue as well.
Speaker 5: Obviously you can.
Speaker 3: Imagine these will I'm quite tired, wrapped in in gear.
Speaker 3: And then what they do is they attach boys we
Speaker 3: call kegs and a sea sale in the in the
Speaker 3: efforts to slow it down even further and just make
Speaker 3: it a bit more tired so that when it's approached,
Speaker 3: we can better predict that its behaviors.
Speaker 6: Okay, so yeah.
Speaker 2: I can see at the moment that that dinghy with
Speaker 2: three people on board is probably about twenty five thirty
Speaker 2: meters away from the whale right now, I'm actually looking
Speaker 2: at some live vision Curtesy of our Channel nine helicopters. Great, once, Craig,
Speaker 2: once this line is completely untangled, is the whale going
Speaker 2: to be Okay? It's to continue on its northern migration. Well,
Speaker 2: you need to monitor the whale for a little while and.
Speaker 3: There will be some monitoring as best we can given there,
Speaker 3: you know, freeing out of the open ocean. We do
Speaker 3: also consider whether we need to put a track on it. So,
Speaker 3: for example, if we can't get that pectoral line off,
Speaker 3: will consider if we need to put a tracker on it,
Speaker 3: and then we can pick it up over the next
Speaker 3: day and re engage if we can.
Speaker 2: Okay, good work so far. Thank you, Chad.
Speaker 5: You're welcome.
Speaker 2: Thank you Chad Western who's some National Parks and wildlife.
Speaker 2: So as he explains that they're nearing the end of
Speaker 2: this operation that's been going now for several hours. I've
Speaker 2: been watching it over the past hour and I can
Speaker 2: see live vision and this is off Palm Beach and
Speaker 2: there's now two rubber duckies. These are wildlife rubber duckies
Speaker 2: about thirty to forty meters away from the whale, and
Speaker 2: at times they do need to get closer with three
Speaker 2: people on board, and it would appear that there's just
Speaker 2: one piece now of line that is wrapped around part
Speaker 2: of the whales. One of the whales fins but it
Speaker 2: looks like they've managed to get most of that line
Speaker 2: away from the whale. Part of it was tangled in
Speaker 2: the mouth at one point, so hopefully soon this whale
Speaker 2: will be fully free and able to continue on its
Speaker 2: journey north Sydney.
Speaker 1: Now on to GB.
Speaker 2: Thirteen past three. There's been a string of fires across
Speaker 2: Sydney's western suburbs today. Three cars were found to light
Speaker 2: in West Hoxton's and Preston's and a tattoo parlor was
Speaker 2: also set a light in Westmeat. Aaron Ramsey from nine
Speaker 2: News has been on the scene of these fires today.
Speaker 7: Hello erin good afternoon.
Speaker 2: These fires have now been extinguished. Do you know if
Speaker 2: they're all linked together?
Speaker 7: Well, that is certainly at the forefront of all the
Speaker 7: investigations at the moment. Quite a bit to get through
Speaker 7: for all the local police at the moment.
Speaker 8: Kicking us off.
Speaker 7: Around three o'clock this morning, a privately owned gym at
Speaker 7: Marylands was fire bombed, the front door smashed in. Now
Speaker 7: one man was working out inside fitness hub when it
Speaker 7: was attacked. He was escorted out later by fire crews,
Speaker 7: drenched from the fire sprinklers, but otherwise okay. About one
Speaker 7: hundred residents in that unit block above the gym had
Speaker 7: to be evacuated. Meanwhile, around almost exactly the same time,
Speaker 7: more fire crews were also called to eight what was
Speaker 7: initially thought to be a tattoo parlor but turns out
Speaker 7: is actually a barbershop that hasn't been there for very long,
Speaker 7: only a couple of months. They were called the railway
Speaker 7: parade at Westmead where that barbershop was also well alighted
Speaker 7: to believed arsonists were responsible for that one. Two bakers
Speaker 7: working downstairs say they saw two people running away, one
Speaker 7: holding a hammer and the other holding a petrol cannut.
Speaker 7: Pool business was absolutely destroyed, and of course the Liverpool
Speaker 7: Police are also investigating two separate car fire incidents. As
Speaker 7: you mentioned, just before midnight two car parks in the
Speaker 7: driveway of a family home at West Hoxton they were
Speaker 7: deliberately set alight. And then around three o'clock this morning,
Speaker 7: so about an hour or so about after the gym
Speaker 7: and barbershop fires, two figures were captured on CCTV setting
Speaker 7: a Mazda Suv a light outside a home at Preston.
Speaker 7: So at this stage it's all being investigated separately with
Speaker 7: the assistants from the arson squad, but there still could
Speaker 7: be some links made.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and given we're talking about a barbershop, there have
Speaker 2: been some barbershops target as part of this ongoing Sydney
Speaker 2: gang war as well. I hear that the bakers that
Speaker 2: helped put that fire out did an amazing job themselves.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, incredible. Unfortunately the business couldn't be saved, and
Speaker 7: because it's tucked away in a complex, a few of
Speaker 7: the other businesses were also damaged, so they're also shut
Speaker 7: down for today, which is really tough on those small
Speaker 7: business owners. But it's incredibly lucky that those bakers were
Speaker 7: there to start putting out that fire, and by the
Speaker 7: sounds of it, are key witnesses in trying to find
Speaker 7: who's responsible for that fire.
Speaker 2: Aaron will see your report on nine to night. Thank you,
Speaker 2: Thank you, Aaron Ramsey. You'll see all the vision on
Speaker 2: Channel nine tonight one, three, one, eight, seven, three, sixteen
Speaker 2: past three. The latest in the Middle East. The development
Speaker 2: today is that Anthony Albanezi has finally spoken. The Prime
Speaker 2: Minister has now fully supported the US strikes.
Speaker 9: The world has long agreed that Iran cannot be allowed
Speaker 9: to get a nuclear weapon, and we support action to
Speaker 9: prevent that.
Speaker 2: That is what this is.
Speaker 9: The US action was directed at specific site central to
Speaker 9: Iran's nuclear program. We don't want escalation and a full
Speaker 9: scale war. We continue to call for dialogue and for diplomacy.
Speaker 9: As I've said for many days now, we are deeply
Speaker 9: concerned about any escalation in the region and we want
Speaker 9: to see diplomacy, dialogue and de escalation.
Speaker 2: The PM says he's been saying that for many days now,
Speaker 2: but he did not make comments over the weekend. He
Speaker 2: did not speak about this yesterday after Donald Trump made
Speaker 2: his announcement from the White House, and the Prime Minister
Speaker 2: has been criticized for that, for waiting more than twenty
Speaker 2: four hours to make his statement. He's been quizzed about
Speaker 2: that today and he says, well, this was unilateral action
Speaker 2: from the United States and a statement was released. More
Speaker 2: than four thousand people have now asked our government for
Speaker 2: help in leaving Israel and the Middle East as this
Speaker 2: tension continues. The US has indicated that the airspace will
Speaker 2: still be open for a little while to assist with
Speaker 2: evacuation flights foreigners to Penny Wong says this may be
Speaker 2: a chance for US to actually get in there and
Speaker 2: help evacuate our citizens.
Speaker 10: Obviously this is very fluid, but we are seeking to
Speaker 10: make arrangements to utilize that window if we are able,
Speaker 10: and we have advised Australians on the ground of that fact.
Speaker 2: The foreign mister Pennywong well I said it felt like spring.
Speaker 2: It's twenty two degrees in the coast at the moment,
Speaker 2: twenty degrees in Penrith. There is a flood alert for
Speaker 2: the Tempe Bridge the Cooks River. This is a warning
Speaker 2: from the Bureau. Minor flooding possible at high tide this
Speaker 2: evening on the Tempey Bridge. High tide might cause flooding
Speaker 2: along the Cooks River sometime this evening and then again
Speaker 2: on high tide tomorrow night. So the Cooks River Bridge
Speaker 2: Tempi it may reach the minor flood level of one
Speaker 2: point three meters word on the street thanks to Temper
Speaker 2: a great night's sleep night after night. The difference is temper.
Speaker 2: If there's something you want us to investigate, send me
Speaker 2: an email t GB dot com. Now one of our listeners, David,
Speaker 2: has done just that. As you know on the first
Speaker 2: of July, so next week your power prices are going
Speaker 2: to go up. When this was announced by an EMO
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks back, we were told that the
Speaker 2: default market offer in New South Wales would increase by
Speaker 2: between eight point three percent and nine point seven percent.
Speaker 2: And unfortunately the increases in New South Wales are larger
Speaker 2: than increases in other states. That's for just household now.
Speaker 2: The default market offer means that if you don't have
Speaker 2: a contract with a particularly particular energy retailer, you pay
Speaker 2: the default market offer. The price rises would add between
Speaker 2: seventy one and two hundred and twenty eight dollars to
Speaker 2: the annual bill of the average customer. So on a
Speaker 2: default market offer it would increase potentially between one nine
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty five dollars per year and two thy
Speaker 2: seven hundred and forty one A big gap there. It
Speaker 2: depends on your own circumstances. Well, David has sent me
Speaker 2: some detail over the weekend of what's happening with his
Speaker 2: energy bill and he's with a link to energy and
Speaker 2: he received an email last week, a letter in the
Speaker 2: mar last week. He's done the calculations about what his
Speaker 2: bill is going to increase by. He calculates that his
Speaker 2: costs will increase by twenty seven point seven nine percent
Speaker 2: based on his last six monthly bills. The total cost
Speaker 2: will rise by eight hundred and sixty four dollars, not
Speaker 2: by what has been publicized, And he's actually sent me
Speaker 2: the detail, and I'm just having a look at his bill,
Speaker 2: and he's done the calculations here because the Link Energy
Speaker 2: themselves haven't done the calculations. But for peak usage, the
Speaker 2: tariff per killer what hour is fifty one cents point
Speaker 2: five to three five at the moment, it's going to
Speaker 2: increase to sixty five point eight seven nine cents now
Speaker 2: based on the calculation, that's an increase of twenty seven
Speaker 2: point eight three percent. And then David's gone through the
Speaker 2: off peak increase which is also more than twenty seven percent,
Speaker 2: the shoulder increase which is twenty seven percent, the controlled
Speaker 2: load usage to increase which is more than five percent,
Speaker 2: and then the daily charge that they whack you with,
Speaker 2: which is an increase of seven point one four percent.
Speaker 2: So overall, his calculation is his bills are going to
Speaker 2: increase by eight hundred and sixty four dollars, which is
Speaker 2: twenty seven point seven nine percent. But then from AEMO
Speaker 2: residential customers will see price increases between eight point five
Speaker 2: and nine point one percent does not add up. Well,
Speaker 2: we'll try and speak with the Link of Energy this
Speaker 2: week to see if you can get an explanation.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 2: I was also sent on Friday a letter from Energy
Speaker 2: Australia and I didn't open it still until this morning
Speaker 2: because I thought it was a bill, but I thought
Speaker 2: I better open it. And it's changes to my electricity
Speaker 2: rates and I'm on the default market offer because I
Speaker 2: don't have a contract. Now, I haven't gone through it
Speaker 2: yet because it's two pages of gobbllygooks, so I actually
Speaker 2: need to put some research into it. But well, we'll
Speaker 2: talk to all the grandergy about what's going on here
Speaker 2: with David's bills. But you tell me most of us
Speaker 2: if we're not on a contract. We'll have now received
Speaker 2: one of these letters in the mail about what the
Speaker 2: increase is. Do the calculation and let me know percentage
Speaker 2: wise what your bill is going to go up by
Speaker 2: let me know. You can email me two GB dot
Speaker 2: com or give me a call one three one eight
Speaker 2: seven three. Well, they are coming. We alluded to this
Speaker 2: last week when word came through that ac DC would
Speaker 2: be playing at the MCG later this year. Well, they
Speaker 2: will be coming here to Sydney November twenty one. Tickets
Speaker 2: are on sale through ticker tech on Thursday. At the moment,
Speaker 2: there's only one show plan. They're going to talk to
Speaker 2: Peter Ford about this in a few minutes, because yes,
Speaker 2: the members of ac DC will particularly Brian Johnson and
Speaker 2: Angus Young are in their seventies. Now question will be
Speaker 2: will they play more than one gig? They will certainly
Speaker 2: have demand for it. Stack of text messages here and
Speaker 2: a lot of feedback about electricity prices. Brad says, my
Speaker 2: electricity price is going up by sixteen point five percent
Speaker 2: from July one. The solar feeding drops from five cents
Speaker 2: to four cents. Ben says, I'm with power Shop Killoud.
Speaker 2: Our price per sense is going up by twenty one percent.
Speaker 2: The daily price is up by six percent. Coming up
Speaker 2: in a moment, Peter Ford. Let's check out his headlines.
Speaker 2: Good afternoon, Katie Fuller.
Speaker 11: Good afternoon Clinton. A rescue team is monitoring a waale
Speaker 11: whish he has been tangled in Natoff Sydney's Northern Beaches.
Speaker 11: Rescuers have managed to cut most of the rope away
Speaker 11: from the humpback. The delicate operation hampered at times. Is
Speaker 11: the whale thrashed in the water. The Health Minister insists
Speaker 11: he'll meet with a frustrated group of nurses at Westmeat
Speaker 11: Hospital who've staged a snap lunchtime rally. Dozens went on
Speaker 11: strike for half an hour demanding better staffing in the
Speaker 11: hospital's neonatal intensive care unit. Boosting social housing is being
Speaker 11: put forward as an idea to alleviate the pressure facing renters.
Speaker 11: A survey shows nearly seventy percent of tenants are worried
Speaker 11: about asking for repairs, fearing they'll face a rent increase
Speaker 11: or eviction, and local students have taken out the International
Speaker 11: Rocket Engineering competition. The Sydney University team's rocket soared above
Speaker 11: ten thousand feet in sport Big Bash. Hero Mitchell Owen
Speaker 11: has starred in America's Major League cricket. He's taken three
Speaker 11: for thirty three, then blasted eighty nine or fifty two
Speaker 11: bulls in Washington's seven wicket win over the Texas Super Kings.
Speaker 11: Clinton More news at four.
Speaker 2: Thak Kati twenty two degrees in the cost twenty four
Speaker 2: degrees in Rootie Hill I cack. The Independent Commission Against
Speaker 2: Coruption has just announced a new corruption inquiry. I'll bring
Speaker 2: you some details in a moment. Just on energy prices, Richard,
Speaker 2: are you copying a big increase?
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, Hi Clinton. We've received ours from Red Energy
Speaker 12: back in the beginning of the middle of June for
Speaker 12: the first of July, think interests increased by courtesy of
Speaker 12: Albanese and blowing in the wind, bowing. Our peak level
Speaker 12: for electricity is going to be up eleven point three
Speaker 12: eight percent, and our gas because of the same provider,
Speaker 12: is going up twelve point zero four percent.
Speaker 2: So do you know if you're on the default market
Speaker 2: offer or if you're on a different arrangement already it's.
Speaker 12: They noted in here. As a result of this change
Speaker 12: of reading out, your electricity rates are now five percent
Speaker 12: more than the reference price. We're starying. We'll probably stay
Speaker 12: with Red Edgy. We've got solar and that's been like
Speaker 12: the previous call or one of the things you put
Speaker 12: out that's been cut down, the cut by one cent.
Speaker 12: So not ere have we been smacked by electricity courtesy
Speaker 12: or the Albanese government is insanity and a refusal to
Speaker 12: use more gas In Australia, we're getting hit by the
Speaker 12: gas prices because we're exporting it offs subsidized the communists
Speaker 12: China and other places, but where reasonably were reasonably all right.
Speaker 12: I feel sorry for small business and everybody else who
Speaker 12: was struggling left, right and center, but unfortunately stupidity and
Speaker 12: how a lot of people that lead up to the
Speaker 12: third of May, and we voted this among wolf back in.
Speaker 2: We certainly voted them back in. You're right, Richard, and
Speaker 2: good on you for highlighting small business because that then
Speaker 2: flows onto everything else that's affected. I'm just having a
Speaker 2: look at now what's happening off the coast of Palm Beach.
Speaker 2: This is now the closest that the dinghy with three people,
Speaker 2: the wildlife rescued dingy has been to the humpback. So
Speaker 2: it's just one line still attached to this whale, tangled
Speaker 2: in one of the whales fins. The dinghy looks like
Speaker 2: it got within about two to three meters, so it
Speaker 2: may have been some of the rescue crews on board
Speaker 2: with actually trying to reach out. I mean, I actually
Speaker 2: don't know how they actually managed to do without scuba
Speaker 2: diving in there. But this is the closest they've been yet,
Speaker 2: so right, at the moment, it looks like that line
Speaker 2: is still tangled around the whales finn but they are close.
Speaker 2: They are close to freeing this whale. Well, they're going
Speaker 2: to shake us all night long. Come the end of
Speaker 2: the year, ac DC will be touring the country and
Speaker 2: they will be coming here to Sydney.
Speaker 13: Hello Peter Ford, Hello Clinton. So it came to pass.
Speaker 13: It certainly had been a lot of speculation and talk
Speaker 13: and at six point thirty this morning, a very coordinated
Speaker 13: drop on all social media and press releases to that
Speaker 13: those concerts are happening in November into December, and I
Speaker 13: think if you take a look at the way the
Speaker 13: tour is structured, they certainly intend to add more shows.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 13: The way ACDC tour at the moment is that they
Speaker 13: do a show night, then they have three nights off,
Speaker 13: then another show night, three nights off. That's the way
Speaker 13: it's going in Europe, and that's to accommodate for their age.
Speaker 13: So you look at it at the moment. Currently, the
Speaker 13: first show is in Melbourne on the twelfth of November
Speaker 13: and then there's not another show according to the Today's list,
Speaker 13: until the twenty first to November. In Sydney, so clearly
Speaker 13: they're going to add one more in there, and then
Speaker 13: they'll add another one in Sydney as well. They won't
Speaker 13: add an extra one for Adelaide because in Adelaide they're
Speaker 13: actually doing the show there under the banner of the
Speaker 13: BP Grand Final, the sort of pretend Gode Prix they
Speaker 13: have there now, so they won't add an extra one there.
Speaker 6: Well.
Speaker 2: That one's actually massive And when I first read about
Speaker 2: this this morning early, it was actually on a motorsport
Speaker 2: website because IM a bit of a motorsport not Pete.
Speaker 2: So I read about the fact that ac DC are
Speaker 2: playing the grand finale of the Supercars season and it
Speaker 2: seemed to be a massive deal, the fact they've got
Speaker 2: ac DC the play and this is where the old
Speaker 2: Grand Prix used to be in Adelaide. It's now the
Speaker 2: last round of the Supercars. When we talk about the
Speaker 2: AFL and our NRL, we get excited if maybe somebody
Speaker 2: like the Lake Meatloafe plays or Billy Idle they've got
Speaker 2: ac DC. That's a massive coup for them.
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's a good cup. And in the old days,
Speaker 13: when Adelaide really did have the Grand Prix, they used
Speaker 13: to get huge name people to come and perform on
Speaker 13: the last day. You know, Shared did it actually, And
Speaker 13: funnily enough, the Lord Mayor of the Adelaide presented Share
Speaker 13: with the key to the city at about ten years
Speaker 13: ago in the garage sale in Beverly Hills. That key
Speaker 13: to the City of Adelaide was actually on sales. I
Speaker 13: don't think Share exactly, President.
Speaker 2: So you will be fairly confident that ac DC would
Speaker 2: add second shows to Sydney and Melbourne.
Speaker 13: Yeah, they won't announce it until Thursday. They may not
Speaker 13: even announce it on Thursday, but the tickets go on
Speaker 13: sale then and they will sell out.
Speaker 2: There's no question question about that.
Speaker 13: And certainly I think probably in the day or so
Speaker 13: after that, they'll announce the extra shows.
Speaker 2: When Taylor Swift came here to Sydney a couple of
Speaker 2: years ago, when Coldplay, we hear about a year or
Speaker 2: so ago they played force shows at a Core Stadium.
Speaker 2: Just given I'm not being ages here, but the fact
Speaker 2: that Angus Young is seventy bron Johnson's seventy seven, would
Speaker 2: you think four shows would be a little too much?
Speaker 13: Probably, I would have thought four shows might have been
Speaker 13: stretching it.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 13: Interestingly in Melbourne they're playing at the MCG, which is
Speaker 13: quite rare. We don't have a lot of shows go
Speaker 13: into the MCG anymore, partly because the sound is usually terrible.
Speaker 13: But in the case of ac DC, I don't think
Speaker 13: it's going to be in such a massive issue. But yeah,
Speaker 13: it's going to be a huge tour. It's like homecoming
Speaker 13: heroes coming back after ten years.
Speaker 2: It'll be just a huge events. Whether you're a fan
Speaker 2: or not, going to be a massive event. You mentioned
Speaker 2: last week that Rebel Wilson's movie wasn't getting great reviews. Well,
Speaker 2: it's tanked.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I thought she might have had a chance. I
Speaker 13: thought perhaps her crowd might not have cared about reviews.
Speaker 13: You know, they know Rebel's going to do a fun,
Speaker 13: silly movie, whether the critics like it or not. But
Speaker 13: they didn't go. Over the weekend, bride Hard was showing
Speaker 13: stack of cinemas right across America. It took in less
Speaker 13: than one million dollars in total across America, so basically,
Speaker 13: you know, they took more money over the popcorn counter
Speaker 13: than they did for ticket sales. But it's not being
Speaker 13: released during Australia until the end of July. If indeed
Speaker 13: it does get released, they may have some question marks
Speaker 13: about that.
Speaker 2: Now, So would that be a possibility that the reviews
Speaker 2: end up being so bad doesn't go well overseas, they
Speaker 2: just don't bother putting it out here.
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's possible, you know, they could put it straight
Speaker 13: onto a streaming service or something. They might just think
Speaker 13: unless you open simultaneously and everyone has a chance. But
Speaker 13: now the word's going to filter around that it's bombed,
Speaker 13: I would think it's probably a waste of time to
Speaker 13: open it here now.
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll talk again tomorrow.
Speaker 13: Thanks Clinton.
Speaker 2: Breaking news off Palm Beach. It looks like the wale
Speaker 2: has now been freed. So the humpback whale that's been
Speaker 2: caught up in about one hundred and fifty meters worth
Speaker 2: of line, and it was actually discovered by drones and
Speaker 2: it was much further south of Manly, and it's whale
Speaker 2: has made its way up the coast while it's been
Speaker 2: tangled in this line, and then this has been the
Speaker 2: operation throughout the day that's been led by National Parks
Speaker 2: and Wildlife to try and free it. I'm just looking
Speaker 2: again at some live pictures that are coming to me
Speaker 2: from the Channel nine helicopter and it looks like these
Speaker 2: wildlife rescue crews have successfully freed the whale. Now they'll
Speaker 2: continue to monitor the humpback and will it will continue
Speaker 2: heading up the coast. But it would obviously be distressed,
Speaker 2: it would be quite fatigued by what it's been through.
Speaker 2: You could see it thrashing around. You'll see all this
Speaker 2: on nine years tonight. It was thrashing around as these
Speaker 2: crews were delicately trying to free it from all this
Speaker 2: whale from the line. But the crews are now getting
Speaker 2: back on board a larger vessel. This is well off
Speaker 2: the coast of Palm Beach, so successfully it looks like
Speaker 2: they've freed the humpback. So ac DC will be back
Speaker 2: on the twenty first of November, and as Peter Ford explains,
Speaker 2: they'll probably play another show in Sydney, probably two tickets
Speaker 2: to go on sale nine o'clock Thursday morning through ticket Tech.
Speaker 2: We'll actually talk to ticket Tech a little later in
Speaker 2: the week because they are putting a message out to
Speaker 2: be careful of scams that are going to be out there.
Speaker 2: It is going to be a massive event for Sydney.
Speaker 2: Whether you're like ac DC or not, and a lot
Speaker 2: of people just want to go along for the historic
Speaker 2: nature of the event. Who's the best Heritage act you've
Speaker 2: ever seen? And look, I say Heritage Ack with respect.
Speaker 2: Angus Young is seventy, Brian Johnson, the lead singer is
Speaker 2: seventy seven, and we actually are seeing more of these
Speaker 2: bands from the seventies. Even prior to that, Rolling Stones
Speaker 2: are still touring overseas, even though Charlie what has since passed.
Speaker 2: We are seeing some of these biggest national tours continue
Speaker 2: because this is where the money is to be made
Speaker 2: in the music scene these days, not so much selling
Speaker 2: of albums, its tours. Who's the best Heritageack you've seen?
Speaker 2: Paul McCartney from a couple of years ago. Let me
Speaker 2: know three one, eight seven three, it's a quarter of
Speaker 2: the four. Just repeating that news. Off the coast of
Speaker 2: Palm Beach, the whale of the humpback whale that's been
Speaker 2: tangled in a long line, about one hundred and fifty
Speaker 2: meters worth of line with four boys attached to it.
Speaker 2: It has now been freed by National Parks and Wildlife Officers.
Speaker 2: IKAK has confirmed they will begin a public inquiry in
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks time on Monday, the fourteenth of
Speaker 2: July into allegations have been made against employees of Transport
Speaker 2: for New South Wales. This stems from an investigation that's
Speaker 2: been led by a current affair about a whistleblower who
Speaker 2: has witnessed corruption. It is claim worth one hundred and
Speaker 2: ten million dollars inside Transport for New South Wales ACA
Speaker 2: through Steve Marshall aired these allegations a couple of weeks
Speaker 2: ago and it's claimed that the whistleblower, who was working
Speaker 2: in the Transport for New South Wales office in Eunora,
Speaker 2: found out about a particular company that was being preferred
Speaker 2: over all others in relation to major contracts that were
Speaker 2: being awarded by Transport for New South Wales staff worth
Speaker 2: one hundred and ten million dollars. Well Ikak just this
Speaker 2: afternoon has now confirmed they will be holding a public
Speaker 2: inquiry into this. It will be examining employees who dishonestly
Speaker 2: allegedly exercised official functions by awarding contracts or favoring companies
Speaker 2: regarding safety barriers, Ashfeldt, line marking, bitumen, spray, ceiling panels
Speaker 2: and traffic control. So it's all in for roadworks. That
Speaker 2: is likely to be an eye opener when that IKAC
Speaker 2: investigation begins on the fourteenth of July. A great heritage
Speaker 2: acts you've seen in recent times, Kylie on the text line,
Speaker 2: says Sir Paul McCartney. Sir Paul McCartney played Alliant Stadium
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three. Towards the end of twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2: Kylie also says share was brilliant. This one from Chris
Speaker 2: the greatest Heritage Jack dever the Rolling Stones in Moore
Speaker 2: Theater around two thousand and three. We paid sixty dollars
Speaker 2: per ticket. Now that was a warm up act, wasn't it,
Speaker 2: because they were playing one of the big venues, the
Speaker 2: Rolling Stones, And from memory, I think Angus Young actually
Speaker 2: came out on stage and played with them. Oh Greg
Speaker 2: greg on the text line best heritage Jack, no doubt,
Speaker 2: John Stanley, if.
Speaker 1: It matters to you, you'll hear it here Sydney Now
Speaker 1: with Clinton Maynard until.
Speaker 2: Six, one, seven three is my number. Now there's been
Speaker 2: a major rally in Tarre, mid North Coast today and
Speaker 2: this has involved people who've suffered during the floods of
Speaker 2: recent weeks. They're upset about the amount of government funding
Speaker 2: and an amount of government assistants it's available at the moment.
Speaker 2: May Ambor runs and owns an arcade in Tarree and
Speaker 2: she joined us on the program last week. Hello May,
Speaker 2: Hi Quinn, tell us about what's occurred today.
Speaker 14: Well over three thousand of our community turned up to
Speaker 14: the rally today. There was a lot of emotion, a
Speaker 14: lot of heated, heated discussion, and we are just begging
Speaker 14: the government to listen to us and give us the
Speaker 14: funding that our community needs.
Speaker 2: So the the problem here is just to clarify, mate,
Speaker 2: for those that didn't hear you talk about it last week,
Speaker 2: Tai and surrounding districts are not classed as a Category D,
Speaker 2: which means that the level of funding available to primary
Speaker 2: producers farmers I think is at twenty five thousand dollars,
Speaker 2: whereby if you were classed a Category D, it would
Speaker 2: be seventy five thousand.
Speaker 14: Correct. But the interesting thing is Clinton that in twenty
Speaker 14: twenty one, within seven days, we were categorized as a
Speaker 14: D and now here we are thirty three days later,
Speaker 14: still categorized as a sea with a flood that is
Speaker 14: twice as big, with twice as many businesses and homes
Speaker 14: and farmers and.
Speaker 15: People.
Speaker 2: You've had thousands of people at this rally today. Was
Speaker 2: there anybody in a position of power, local MPs, local
Speaker 2: politicians there?
Speaker 14: We had our representatives locally like Tanya Thompson and Alison Penfelt,
Speaker 14: they are both representing the National Party in our area.
Speaker 14: We had farmers becking, We had some people that are
Speaker 14: affected as far as the dairy farmers, the beef farmers,
Speaker 14: the oyster farmers. Then we had a business representative and
Speaker 14: insurance representative. And then we had some a few sort
Speaker 14: of wild comments from the crowd as well, because people
Speaker 14: were starting to feel frustration and bitterness towards the whole
Speaker 14: time involved in us not being given the funding that
Speaker 14: we so desperately need.
Speaker 2: Now this is a combination of the state and federal
Speaker 2: government and so change is needed here. Thank you for
Speaker 2: joining us, mate, and thank you for campaigning on this
Speaker 2: as thousands of other people did today, because something's got
Speaker 2: to change here because it will affect us all. We're
Speaker 2: talking farmers and primary producers, and in the end that
Speaker 2: affects what we buy in the city when we go
Speaker 2: to our green groces, when we go to the supermarkets.
Speaker 2: Thank you May May Amble, who's the owner of Little
Speaker 2: Arcade in Tarre doogled Saunders, the New South Wales national
Speaker 2: leaders just called in. Thank you for calling me.
Speaker 5: Do yeah goa Klinon.
Speaker 16: I was just listening to May talk then, and it's
Speaker 16: still disappointing. Literally a month since this event happened and
Speaker 16: we've got just not enough support on the table. And
Speaker 16: when three thousand people turn up in Tarre, that's a
Speaker 16: fair bit, doesn't it. And I gather there are similar
Speaker 16: thing's planned maybe for Kempsy next week, which again is
Speaker 16: in the same bit just being completely forgotten and left
Speaker 16: out in the coal.
Speaker 2: This is what I don't understand. If this flood and
Speaker 2: I was there and you've been there as well, people
Speaker 2: keep telling me it is worse than twenty twenty one.
Speaker 2: So how's twenty twenty one classified as a d then
Speaker 2: worth seventy five thousand dollars in grants?
Speaker 16: But this isn't yeah, because twenty twenty one and twenty
Speaker 16: twenty two. Twenty twenty two was the Lizmore flood, which
Speaker 16: was a phenomenal flood and Lizmore specifically.
Speaker 5: Hit really badly by that.
Speaker 3: But again it was.
Speaker 16: Classified by using coalition as a category D and that's
Speaker 16: seventy five grand flight as well and fifty for small business,
Speaker 16: so that the difference is stark. And look, I've spoken
Speaker 16: personally to the Premiere. The Prime Minister and the Premier
Speaker 16: have both met with exactly the same people I've met with,
Speaker 16: and yet they were only able to come to the
Speaker 16: twenty five thousand dollar mark, which they know, and the
Speaker 16: Minister for Recovery, Janelle Saffan, that knows it is not enough.
Speaker 16: And what it does is d incentivized people to continue
Speaker 16: for their small business or their farm because it simply
Speaker 16: isn't enough to get them going again. And look, we've
Speaker 16: got a petition. Tanya Thompson started a petition a week ago.
Speaker 17: It's online right now.
Speaker 5: We'd love you to get involved with that.
Speaker 16: If you just do a search for the petition supporting
Speaker 16: flood affected communities in the Mid North Coast and Hunter regions.
Speaker 16: There's about six thousand signatures on that petition right now.
Speaker 5: We need to get to twenty for it.
Speaker 16: To be guaranteed of being debated in Parliament. But the
Speaker 16: pushes on mate, like people are still just feeling completely neglected.
Speaker 16: We've got a state and a federal government that can
Speaker 16: and should do more. We've got a budget being delivered tomorrow.
Speaker 16: I'm pretty sure there'll be nothing in it in the
Speaker 16: budget that will help people feel good about themselves on
Speaker 16: the Mid North Coast or a Hunter region, that's for sure.
Speaker 2: We look hopefully that's not the case, and we'll certainly
Speaker 2: be trying to talk to members of the government tomorrow
Speaker 2: about that, because Daniel Mookie indicated when he joined me
Speaker 2: a week or so ago a big part of spending
Speaker 2: would be on national natural disasters in this budget's being
Speaker 2: handed down tomorrow. Thank you Google, Thanks Clinton.
Speaker 1: Good to talk here.
Speaker 2: Diogod Son as the new South Wales Nationals leader. We'll
Speaker 2: have a look online of that petition and I'll mention
Speaker 2: the link a little later in the program. If they
Speaker 2: can get twenty thousand signatures on that petition, they'll be
Speaker 2: a debate in Parliament. One three one eight seven three
Speaker 2: A company your calls on Heritage Acts in a moment,
Speaker 2: but some breaking news from the Telegraph to remember this name,
Speaker 2: Salim Mahaja, former local mayor, disgraced former local mayor. He
Speaker 2: has been granted parole today, so he will be released
Speaker 2: from prison. He'll be released next month after the State
Speaker 2: Parole Authority handed down a decision to grant him parrole
Speaker 2: on a long list of conditions. In hearing, the Commissioner
Speaker 2: of Corrective Services actually opposed his release, citing his risk
Speaker 2: of reoffending and his lack of change. However, the court
Speaker 2: has made a decision that he will be freed, so
Speaker 2: Salim Mahaja will be out.
Speaker 18: You're listening to Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard on two
Speaker 18: GB Colm now one three one eight seven three.
Speaker 2: Okay, we've been talking about heritage. As you've seen. Chris
Speaker 2: was fortunate to be at the end Moore Theater when
Speaker 2: the Rolling Stones played there in the early two thousands.
Speaker 2: What was it like, Chris Clinton?
Speaker 6: It was two thousand and three February and a young
Speaker 6: kid I.
Speaker 19: Gave his first job to actually helped me secure the ticket. Wow,
Speaker 19: sixty bucks to sit in row file. There was five
Speaker 19: of us who went and Malcolm and Angus Young came
Speaker 19: on two thirds the way through the gig.
Speaker 6: You could have almost felt Keith Richards sweat hitting you
Speaker 6: on the face as he played Charlie Watts. Was unbelievable.
Speaker 6: Of course, Mick is the.
Speaker 19: Consumment entertainer, My greatest, greatest gig ever real music.
Speaker 2: And if you haven't been to the end Moore Theater
Speaker 2: in Sydney, look a thereater has been there for ages.
Speaker 2: It's a venue that what maybe holds two thousand people?
Speaker 6: Perhaps, mate, on the night sixteen hundred tickets.
Speaker 2: You got sixteen hundred, so it's what you call it
Speaker 2: intimate venue. And I know a friend of mine went there.
Speaker 2: It was I think it was a warm up for
Speaker 2: their other shows.
Speaker 1: Wasn't it too right?
Speaker 19: They often do a micro gig getting ready for their
Speaker 19: big tours. And I sat behind h G. Nelson and
Speaker 19: I'm a wheelchair user so can't stand up to watch
Speaker 19: the gig. And I'd done a bit of work with
Speaker 19: HG a few months previous, and he stepped out of
Speaker 19: the way because he's a tool bloke, moved his wife
Speaker 19: in front of him, and I sat on the seat
Speaker 19: back of the uninterrupted you mate, it was just sensational.
Speaker 2: That'd be one of the best of all time. Hey,
Speaker 2: good on you, Chris, Glad you got those great memories.
Speaker 2: Lauren says so sting at the ICC in February of
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three. Brilliant voice and He's still so smooth
Speaker 2: and silky as well. This is a good one. Rose
Speaker 2: Tattoos saw Rose Tattoo a couple of weeks ago in Brisbane.
Speaker 2: Keep listening. I'm still to spin two GB's winter wheel
Speaker 2: and give you a chance to win.
Speaker 1: This is sit now with Clinton on TG What.
Speaker 2: A stunning Sydney's winter afternoon we have on our hands.
Speaker 2: Are twenty degrees in the city at the moment. Some
Speaker 2: suburbs in the west Rudy Hill uputs a twenty three
Speaker 2: to twenty four degrees. I know it's very cold when
Speaker 2: you get up in the morning at the moment, but boy,
Speaker 2: this is a nice time of the year once it
Speaker 2: warms up a little bit. Good news for the humpback
Speaker 2: whale that's been tangled in a line off Palm Beach
Speaker 2: Show for the last few hours. It's now been freed.
Speaker 2: So it's now been released. There's been an operation that's
Speaker 2: involved National Parks and Wildlife Services and they've had several
Speaker 2: boats that surrounded the whale over the past quite a
Speaker 2: few hours throughout the afternoon and one rubber dinghy red
Speaker 2: Rummadigi with three people on board, has been involved in
Speaker 2: the really delicate operation to untangle this one hundred and
Speaker 2: fifty meters worth of line and rope. Had four white
Speaker 2: boys and you'll see all this on nine years tonight
Speaker 2: when you watch the news with Peter Overton. And it's
Speaker 2: been a really delicate operation because at times this whale
Speaker 2: it's a huge humpback whale. Difficult to say exactly how
Speaker 2: big it is from the vision that I've been watching,
Speaker 2: but it was thrashing around and it was rolling over
Speaker 2: itself throughout the operation. So the three experts who are
Speaker 2: on board that rubber ducky they had to be really
Speaker 2: careful for their own safety and then they could have
Speaker 2: easily been pulled into the ocean themselves of Palm Beach.
Speaker 2: But over the course of hours they've now managed to
Speaker 2: untangle all this line and now finally cut the whale free.
Speaker 2: So the whales continuing on its northern migration. It's going
Speaker 2: to be monitored and they will consider it. They were
Speaker 2: considering when I spoke to National Parks in the last
Speaker 2: hour whether that actually attached a tracker to the whale,
Speaker 2: because it's going to be probably still a little bit distressed,
Speaker 2: fatigued after what it's been through over the past few hours.
Speaker 2: But The good news is the whale is now free.
Speaker 1: Sydney now with Clinton Maynard.
Speaker 18: If it's happening in your city, you'll hear it on
Speaker 18: Sydney Now to GB.
Speaker 2: Eight past four. This news just in. If you're going
Speaker 2: to post some mail to a friend, you're going to
Speaker 2: be paying more. The a Triple C has the afternoon
Speaker 2: confirmed they have approved an increase in the price of
Speaker 2: the basic stamp, so the cost of sending a letter
Speaker 2: will increase from a dollar fifty to a dollar seventy.
Speaker 2: Across the board, prices for mail will go up by
Speaker 2: a little over thirteen percent, which is obviously much much
Speaker 2: higher than inflation which is now below three percent. Australia
Speaker 2: Post had made an application to increase their prices and
Speaker 2: for the simple reason they're losing money on the letter
Speaker 2: delivery service. So AHABLEC Commissioner An Brackley says, although we
Speaker 2: understand there's going to be an extra cost for consumers,
Speaker 2: Australia Post loses money running the national letter service. The
Speaker 2: Minister herself, so the Minister for Communications in Anika, wells
Speaker 2: she can actually reject this decision. Likelihood she won't. Australia Post,
Speaker 2: of course, is run by the government and it's now
Speaker 2: been approved by the competition regulator, so it will happen.
Speaker 2: The average price of a single postage stamp in an
Speaker 2: OECD country is actually a dollar ninety three, so our
Speaker 2: prices are a little lower, despite the fact that we
Speaker 2: have to cover geographically much bigger area than most OECD countries.
Speaker 2: From next month, large letters up to one hundred and
Speaker 2: twenty five grams will increase from three dollars to three
Speaker 2: dollars forty. Ordinary large letters between one hundred and twenty
Speaker 2: five and two hundred and fifty grams will go up
Speaker 2: from between four dollars fifty to five dollars ten. Now,
Speaker 2: I know most of us don't post letters these days.
Speaker 2: It's much cheaper to deal with email, but if you
Speaker 2: still like to send a letter to a friend, you
Speaker 2: will be paying a little bit more on the future.
Speaker 2: It's ten past four. Nurses and midwives have rallied outside
Speaker 2: Westmead Hospital today following revelations that the Neonatal Intensive Care
Speaker 2: Unit inside Westmead simply does not have enough resources. The
Speaker 2: NICU is funded for forty four beds now. The Neonatal
Speaker 2: Intensive Care Unit is the unit inside Westmead that looks
Speaker 2: after the sickest of babies, babies who are premature, babies
Speaker 2: that need them most help. And it is forty four
Speaker 2: beds in size, but on a regular basis, the staff,
Speaker 2: the nurses there and the doctors, they need to open
Speaker 2: it up to as much as fifty beds. So what
Speaker 2: they describe this is they have to double park the babies,
Speaker 2: triple park. And it's been suggested today that there are
Speaker 2: babies being treated in the corridors at the hospital. There
Speaker 2: are babies being treated in storerooms. Now I've spoken with
Speaker 2: the government today and they say that they're not being
Speaker 2: treated in storerooms. And the Minister Ryan Park will go
Speaker 2: to Westmead Hospital this week once the budgets handed down,
Speaker 2: and he will meet with some of the nurses and
Speaker 2: he'll meet with the management. Jessica Charleston is a midwife
Speaker 2: at Westmead Hospital and she's one of the midwives who's concerned.
Speaker 2: Thank you for joining me, Jessica, Thank you for having
Speaker 2: me tell me about your experience of treating babies in
Speaker 2: this unit.
Speaker 20: So first of all, I just want to highlight that
Speaker 20: we are talking about the neonatal intensive care unit within
Speaker 20: the adult hospital. We are not part of the Kids Hospital.
Speaker 20: We are not part of the Children's hospital network. We
Speaker 20: are part of Western.
Speaker 2: This is the Westmead standard hospital. But you're talking neonatal care,
Speaker 2: so babies who are the most neat baby.
Speaker 20: Within the adult hospital. So there's been some confusion about
Speaker 20: which unit has been referred to and yeah, just one age.
Speaker 2: So this is the neonatal intensive care unit within Westmead.
Speaker 2: So tell me about your experience.
Speaker 20: It's pretty scary sometimes walking in and sort of not
Speaker 20: knowing what you're going to do, what you're going to
Speaker 20: get for the day, walking into a bedspot and go it, Oh,
Speaker 20: there's some extra babies in here that they're meant to
Speaker 20: be class. I've got an extra allocated extra babies, and
Speaker 20: what I should be this is a really sick baby
Speaker 20: and I've got to manage that really sick baby as
Speaker 20: well as another one, maybe two babies.
Speaker 2: Is there an issue of its physical resources having the
Speaker 2: physical space there or is it a staffing problem?
Speaker 15: Both?
Speaker 20: It's both. We have physically run out of space in
Speaker 20: the unit that we have. We have forty four physical
Speaker 20: bedspots in the unit and it's not un news for
Speaker 20: us to have fifty babies and with times going even
Speaker 20: higher than that. Our funding is currently to have twenty
Speaker 20: one staff on a shift, and over the last probably
Speaker 20: four to six months, we're needing twenty four to twenty six.
Speaker 20: So is staff needed to do extras and over time
Speaker 20: to try and meet that demand. I mean we rarely
Speaker 20: get there. That's staff trying to do as much as
Speaker 20: they can.
Speaker 2: There was a headline this morning about babies being treated
Speaker 2: in the corridor. Baby's being treated in it in a storeroom.
Speaker 2: Now the government's told me, you know they're not being treated
Speaker 2: in the storeroom from your experience, is that true?
Speaker 21: It's true.
Speaker 20: We have what we call what has always been known
Speaker 20: as our resource room, which started life as a storeroom
Speaker 20: where we kept our resussates that we used to treat
Speaker 20: critically unwell babies and was where we then were able
Speaker 20: to restock those resussates. And after there was an article
Speaker 20: in twenty eighteen, I believed after that the shelves from
Speaker 20: the storeroom were removed. But it's still the storeroom that
Speaker 20: we can have up to sort of two or three babies.
Speaker 2: In Ryan Park. The Health Minister, he's going to come
Speaker 2: out and see you guys later this week. What do
Speaker 2: you want to say to the Health minister if you
Speaker 2: personally get the chance to meet with him, what do
Speaker 2: you want to say to Ryan Park.
Speaker 20: I don't necessarily want to say anything. I just we
Speaker 20: would love the opportunity to show him what we're talking about. Ye,
Speaker 20: it's anyone like, it's very obvious what the issues are.
Speaker 20: We can show him how our daily staffing sheet that
Speaker 20: sort of shows how many shorts we are on a
Speaker 20: shift regularly, and we can show him babies hammed into
Speaker 20: what is obviously one bed spot, having sort of two
Speaker 20: babies side by side. We can show him this store
Speaker 20: room that we put babies in. We might even have
Speaker 20: an admission that sits out in the corridor while we
Speaker 20: try and move other babies to make room for this
Speaker 20: sort of unexpected admission that we often get.
Speaker 2: Well, he's going to come later in the week and
Speaker 2: hopefully you can show him the exact reality of the situation.
Speaker 2: Thank you for your time, Jessica, Thank you very much.
Speaker 2: Jessica Charleston, who's a union midwife, so she has met
Speaker 2: representative of the union, but she works here on the job.
Speaker 2: So it's the neonatal intensive key you know, within Westmeat,
Speaker 2: so it has funding for forty four beds, but often
Speaker 2: they have to treat fifty babies at one time, and
Speaker 2: these are really sick babies, often born premature. These are
Speaker 2: the babies who need the most health. Chris Min's the Premier,
Speaker 2: has responded to this today. Some of the good.
Speaker 22: Signs that we're seeing is retention across the network is
Speaker 22: now where we were at prior to the COVID emergency.
Speaker 22: We are saving over ninety percent of people year or
Speaker 22: year from retiring or resigning from the public health system.
Speaker 2: So chris Minn says the issue is mostly about stuf laughing,
Speaker 2: and Jessica said, yes, it's staffing as well, not just
Speaker 2: the physical layout of the hospital and the resources there.
Speaker 2: And the Premier's argument is they're now preventing nurses from resigning.
Speaker 2: Don't forget the Nurses and Midwives Association is still locked
Speaker 2: in the pay battle as well with the state government
Speaker 2: and that's not resolved yet. That's before the Industrial Relations
Speaker 2: Commission and nurses have paid roughly seventeen percent more in Queensland.
Speaker 18: If it matters to you, you'll hear it here Sydney
Speaker 18: Now with Clinton Maynard.
Speaker 2: Until seven new road toll statistics have been released for
Speaker 2: the whole country today. They show to the end of May,
Speaker 2: there's been an increase year on year in the number
Speaker 2: of people killed in their roads of four point eight percent,
Speaker 2: one thy three hundred and thirty seven. This increase, and
Speaker 2: these are the latest statistics that have been released, largely
Speaker 2: attributed to the increase in death of cyclists. There's been
Speaker 2: a thirty six point seven percent jump in the number
Speaker 2: of people killed on the roads who are cycling forty one.
Speaker 2: But there's also been a big jump in the number
Speaker 2: of pedestrians who were killed, up fifteen percent to one
Speaker 2: hundred and ninety two. I wonder how much that's got
Speaker 2: to do. And we talk a lot about issues of distraction,
Speaker 2: but pedestrians who are glued to their mobile phones when
Speaker 2: they walk across the road and don't realize there's traffic
Speaker 2: in the way. They might be listening to something through
Speaker 2: their earbuds. They might be looking down and watching social media,
Speaker 2: watching videos while they're walking. But that's a big jump,
Speaker 2: an extra one hundred and an extra fifteen percent number
Speaker 2: of fatalities involving pedestrians one hundred and ninety two deaths,
Speaker 2: and an increase in cyclists killed on the road thirty
Speaker 2: six percent to forty one. Twenty one past four, the
Speaker 2: Good Guys has got into some trouble. Today they have
Speaker 2: reached an agreement with the agriple C. They've agreed to
Speaker 2: pay a fine of thirteen and a half million dollars.
Speaker 2: This relates to court proceedings that will launched last year
Speaker 2: midway through last year effectively about fake advertising or advertising
Speaker 2: that was false, also in regards to what they called
Speaker 2: the store cash promotion. Under this sentiment agreement and it's
Speaker 2: subject to call approval, the Good Guys will pay a
Speaker 2: penalty of thirteen and a half million dollars. They will
Speaker 2: contribute two hundred thousand dollars towards the Ahriable C's own costs,
Speaker 2: and they'll also implement a remediation program for certain customers
Speaker 2: that were affected. Now JB High Fight not a lot
Speaker 2: of people realize this JB High Fight actually owns the
Speaker 2: Good Guys and it all relates to the way they
Speaker 2: were advertising some goods. The a Triable C says, basically
Speaker 2: it comes down to trust that consumers need to be
Speaker 2: able to trust any major retailer when they advertise stock
Speaker 2: for a certain price and a certain deal.
Speaker 1: Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard.
Speaker 18: If it's happening in your sitting, you'll hear it on
Speaker 18: Sydney Now to GB.
Speaker 2: Twenty two past four, Just on the road, toll Nick
Speaker 2: on the text line says, in regards to that increase,
Speaker 2: I believe it comes down to attitudes. Attitudes on the roads,
Speaker 2: especially amongst ute drivers, and the lack of accountability and
Speaker 2: punishment for speeding drivers, and also a lack of police.
Speaker 2: Certainly we need more cops than the roads, and still
Speaker 2: there are something like two and a half thousand fewer
Speaker 2: cops actually authorized in New South Wales. But the increase
Speaker 2: that's been recorded today shows it's a big jump in
Speaker 2: motorbike riders, cyclists and also pedestrians. Perhaps utes might be
Speaker 2: responsible some of those accidents, but it's also about the
Speaker 2: way pedestrians behaving on the road. Twenty three past four
Speaker 2: on the issues in New South Wales hospitals. Paul has
Speaker 2: some experience in the area.
Speaker 15: Hello Paul, good afternoon. Look, I worked in pediatric intensive
Speaker 15: care a long time ago, forty years. However, back then
Speaker 15: there was always one nurse to patient. There are always
Speaker 15: two doctors in the ward, only ten patients in the
Speaker 15: ward plus occasionally up to two more that was twenty
Speaker 15: four to seven. Sometimes kids were brought into Sydney from
Speaker 15: in the state. Sometimes very occasionally some were transferred in
Speaker 15: the state to because of well, obviously the number of beds.
Speaker 15: I mean, maybe that's the way they can get around it.
Speaker 15: But it's not just the matter of caring for three kids.
Speaker 15: You've got worried parents. They're worried.
Speaker 5: It's bugary.
Speaker 3: So you've got.
Speaker 15: Potentially nine people that's under your care as a nurse.
Speaker 2: Yeah, great point, and it's certainly the problem they have
Speaker 2: at Westmeat at the moment is that the staff patient
Speaker 2: ratio in that neonatal unit is certainly not one to one.
Speaker 2: Thank you if you message Paul one three one eight
Speaker 2: seven three if you've had experience it, particularly when it
Speaker 2: comes to the care of babies and children in our hospital.
Speaker 2: Great text message is still coming in about let's say,
Speaker 2: I use the term heritage and that's not an insult
Speaker 2: because we're talking about ACDC making their return to Australian
Speaker 2: shores with their tour later this year. They'll be playing
Speaker 2: in Sydney November. But perhaps some older established music acts
Speaker 2: that you've seen over the years who've been the best.
Speaker 2: This one from and Maria and Maria has a great one.
Speaker 2: And Maria says she saw Tina Turner perform in nineteen
Speaker 2: ninety three and it wasn't at the NRL Grand Final.
Speaker 2: And Maria saw Tina Turner per film at the Formula
Speaker 2: one Grand Prix and Adelaide Ayton Senner had won his
Speaker 2: last race McClaren before he moved to Williams. She was
Speaker 2: fabulous and she actually brought Aton Center on stage and
Speaker 2: they sang simply the best. Really, what a memory to
Speaker 2: have in lighten ed and Sener died in nineteen ninety four,
Speaker 2: so wow, what a memory to have with Tina Turner
Speaker 2: and simply the best. This one from George John Farnham
Speaker 2: in twenty fourteen was just amazing. He had so much
Speaker 2: energy in the concert tour that he did with Lionel Richie. However,
Speaker 2: Lionel Richie seemed to phoner in Lionel was absolutely lackluster.
Speaker 2: Good question on the text line from Claudine to those
Speaker 2: road tile statistics we just mentioned include e scooters on
Speaker 2: the road without a helmet, lighting or a license. Yes,
Speaker 2: they do, so they'd be classed as a cyclist even
Speaker 2: though they're basically a motorbike. Those e scoters And I
Speaker 2: know I've been banging on about this for ages and
Speaker 2: it's a big talking point now. But again on the weekend,
Speaker 2: I saw a stack of kids in my suburb, Engodeine
Speaker 2: in the South on the fat Boy bikes for the
Speaker 2: first time. I often see two kids at once on
Speaker 2: the fat Boy bikes and they are designed to carry
Speaker 2: two people. I saw three on one and probably third
Speaker 2: in year old girls on the fat Boy bikes. Two
Speaker 2: of the girls had helmets, the third didn't. Now it's
Speaker 2: their own. They fall off the back and they hurt themselves. Well,
Speaker 2: they've only got themselves a blame for not wearing the helmet.
Speaker 2: But the girl who's on the back clinging to the
Speaker 2: other two girls, they're wearing the helmets. Do they think
Speaker 2: I look because I'm not actually in control of the bike.
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. Let's check out news headlines. We've got
Speaker 2: the latest.
Speaker 11: Katie Fuller, Good afternoon, Clinton. The corruption watchdog will hold
Speaker 11: a public inquiry as it investigates allegations concerning staff at
Speaker 11: Transport for New South Wales. The ikak pro will look
Speaker 11: to determine whether employees partially or dishonestly awarded contracts to
Speaker 11: companies in return for benefits. Singapore Airlines has canceled some
Speaker 11: of its flights between Singapore and Dubai as conflict escalates
Speaker 11: in the Middle East. Carta Airways is closely monitoring the situation.
Speaker 11: Twenty five years on, tight knit Queensland community is coming
Speaker 11: together to remember fifteen lives lost in the Childers. Backpackers
Speaker 11: Blaze and Rock Legends ACDC will bring their tour down
Speaker 11: Under in November and December for the first time in
Speaker 11: a decade. The band will be performing at stadiums in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane,
Speaker 11: Perth and Adelaide. In sports, Sydney FC midfielder Anthony Cassis
Speaker 11: will leave the Sky Blues after failing to come to
Speaker 11: terms on a new contract. He played two hundred and
Speaker 11: sixteen appearances for the club, helping to secure four trophies.
Speaker 11: Clinton More news at five.
Speaker 2: Sakkat twenty degree is on the coast in Penrith, nineteen
Speaker 2: degrees A lovely afternoon, but the sun will be going
Speaker 2: down in about half an hour's time. One three one
Speaker 2: eight seventy three On the issues at Westmead Hospital and
Speaker 2: the neonatal unit there that is clearly under resource. The
Speaker 2: Health Minister Ryan Park has made a promise that he's
Speaker 2: going to go to Westmead after there was a protest
Speaker 2: there today and he will talk to the staff at
Speaker 2: Westmead this week. Michael says, while the neonator ward at
Speaker 2: Westmeat is critical and the nurses there are angels and
Speaker 2: deserve more than they're getting, there's actually one level higher
Speaker 2: and this is where the sickest of babies go, and
Speaker 2: that's to the Gray Sward. Miracles are being performed in
Speaker 2: the gray Swart and hopefully the conditions and the resources
Speaker 2: they have are adequate. Will try to find out, Michael,
Speaker 2: how they're doing in the Gray Sward. I was talking
Speaker 2: a little bit earlier about the rally that's been held
Speaker 2: in Tarre today. Three thousand people have attended the rally
Speaker 2: demanding the government reclassified areas of the Mid North Coast
Speaker 2: and the Hunter Valley to Category D following the floods.
Speaker 2: Now if they were class Category D, they'd qualify for
Speaker 2: government funding of seventy five thousand dollars. During the floods
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty one twenty twenty two, there were areas
Speaker 2: of this region that were class Category D. Now this
Speaker 2: affects farmers and primary producers business owners that entitled them
Speaker 2: to those seventy five thousand dollar grants. So many people
Speaker 2: have told me that the destruction, the damage that's been
Speaker 2: suffered on the Mid North Coast in particular in the
Speaker 2: last month is far worse than it was in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty two to twenty twenty one. Lizmore was another example altogether.
Speaker 2: But there were areas of this region that categorized D
Speaker 2: back in twenty twenty two, but they don't now. It
Speaker 2: just seems very strange. Well googled sort as the National's
Speaker 2: leader told us about a petition that's now online. If
Speaker 2: you go to Google, just type in support flood effected
Speaker 2: Communities on the Mid North Coast. You'll then find a link.
Speaker 2: Just type in support flood effected Communities in the Mid
Speaker 2: North Coast. There'll then be a link that takes you
Speaker 2: to the Parliament website. And on the Parliament website, just
Speaker 2: follow the links when you type that into Google. There
Speaker 2: is an e petition. You can sign that petition. If
Speaker 2: that petition receives twenty thousand E signatures, don't actually have
Speaker 2: to go anywhere and sign anything with a pen. But
Speaker 2: if there are twenty thousand signatures electronically, the matter will
Speaker 2: go to Parliament, and if it goes to Parliament, there's
Speaker 2: a better chance of change.
Speaker 18: We are part of Sydney now with Clinton Maynard called
Speaker 18: one three one eight seventy three.
Speaker 2: A Sydney site is boring. Well no, I don't think
Speaker 2: we're boring at all. But there's there's been a drama
Speaker 2: on social media and this is going viral. As they say,
Speaker 2: you see often there's this story and the government talks
Speaker 2: about this. The New South Wales government talks about this,
Speaker 2: that Sydney's nightlife and nighttime economy is not strong, that
Speaker 2: we don't rival cities around the world where you might,
Speaker 2: for instance, walk down George Street ten thirty at night
Speaker 2: on a Tuesday and everything's closed. It's very hard to
Speaker 2: get a decent food late at night in the CBD.
Speaker 2: Despite the fact Sydney is classed as a World city.
Speaker 2: Suggestion is that we need to do a lot more
Speaker 2: to make the city more vibrant. I think if we're
Speaker 2: out and about and the demands there. Government's changed the
Speaker 2: rules over the years. I think if demand's there, businesses
Speaker 2: will open late and they will offer food, beverage or entertainment. Well,
Speaker 2: there's this woman who's gone viral on social media, her
Speaker 2: name is Tazzy, in that The Daily Mail has done
Speaker 2: a story about this. She claims is a problem with
Speaker 2: Sydney's nightlife and it's not the fact that businesses don't
Speaker 2: open late.
Speaker 8: Well, we need to address the problem at the route. Okay,
Speaker 8: it's not the nightlife that's boring. People from Sydney are
Speaker 8: insufferably boring.
Speaker 2: Okay, people from Sydney are insufferably boring. Has she been
Speaker 2: to Adelaide? Has she been to Melbourne? Clearly not what's
Speaker 2: boring about Sydney. We've got the best beaches in the country.
Speaker 2: I mean Brisbane for all wonders of Queensland, Brisbane doesn't
Speaker 2: have a beach. It's got a river. We've got the
Speaker 2: greatest harbor in the world. We've got the Opera House, which,
Speaker 2: if you've been to the Opera House lately, it's magnificent,
Speaker 2: renovated that a few years ago, was there about a
Speaker 2: month ago. It's spectacular. And the people are boring. I
Speaker 2: think Tazzy actually needs to have a bit of a
Speaker 2: good look at herself. Yeah, you tell me seriously, is
Speaker 2: that the problem with Sydney. Is there no night life
Speaker 2: in Sydney because we're all dull and boring. Let me know,
Speaker 2: eight seventy three, it's twenty to five. Apparently Sydney has
Speaker 2: no light life because the people are boring.
Speaker 8: But we need to address the problem at the route. Okay,
Speaker 8: it's not the night life that's boring. People from Sydney
Speaker 8: are insufferably boring.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's tazzy. Dayton says on the text line, Sydney
Speaker 2: life life was great when there was old school trans
Speaker 2: music events on Let you on a secret, Dayton, I
Speaker 2: might have been one of those people who occasionally went
Speaker 2: to one of those old school trance events a long,
Speaker 2: long time ago. Dave says, Yes, people in Sydney becoming
Speaker 2: boring because they're stuck at home paying off their mortgage.
Speaker 2: Even renters are struggling because you can't afford to actually
Speaker 2: go out and enjoy the night life. Word on the street,
Speaker 2: thanks to Temper a great night's sleep night after night.
Speaker 2: The difference is Temper. We brought you that news a
Speaker 2: little earlier in the hour that Australia posters had now
Speaker 2: approval from the a triple C to increase the price
Speaker 2: of a stamp and then a whole range of other
Speaker 2: post costs will go up. This message from one of
Speaker 2: our listeners will on the Northern Beaches. I missed receiving
Speaker 2: a package from Australia Post today. I live in Warrwood
Speaker 2: and my local post office at Warrwood Square. For some
Speaker 2: strange reason, I received a message that the parcel had
Speaker 2: been delivered to Monavail Post Office instead. Usually it's taken
Speaker 2: to Warrwood, so I drove to Monaval Post Office. I
Speaker 2: get there at around twelve thirty five to find out
Speaker 2: the post office is completely closed for an hour between
Speaker 2: twelve thirty one thirty. When I finally get there, I'm
Speaker 2: told they only had two staff available so they had
Speaker 2: to close for lunch. And now they want to increase
Speaker 2: their prices. And reality is that Australia Post makes decent
Speaker 2: money from their parcel service because of the boom in
Speaker 2: online shopping, but they're not making money at all from letters.
Speaker 2: We're talking great heritage performers that you've seen over the years.
Speaker 2: After his ACDC will be coming here in November, David,
Speaker 2: you've seen led Zeppelin, Hi, I haven't been when did
Speaker 2: you you mate?
Speaker 6: It was February seventy two, so not recently.
Speaker 23: No, no, yeah, it.
Speaker 21: Cost me a whole lot of Yeah, four dollars seventy.
Speaker 2: Four dollars seventy in nineteen seventy two. It's probably worth
Speaker 2: a bit of money back then.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I guess. Yeah, in my way to it was
Speaker 12: a bit of a chunk.
Speaker 21: But yeah, I would spend a hell a lot more.
Speaker 24: To see them.
Speaker 22: Yah.
Speaker 2: Good on you, David. You've got to be so careful
Speaker 2: now with the way social media works in AI. After
Speaker 2: reading the ACDC News this morning, I had a headline
Speaker 2: pop up on one of my social media feeds saying
Speaker 2: led Zeppelin reforming two are in twenty twenty five, and
Speaker 2: I thought that that cannot be right. I know, Jimmy
Speaker 2: Page and Robert Plan have done a few tours and
Speaker 2: there's been a special reunion show here and there. I
Speaker 2: double checked it. No, they're not reforming. Be really careful
Speaker 2: about what you read on social media. Jason says, saw
Speaker 2: the Eagles Sydney Entertainment Center in twenty ten and they
Speaker 2: were fantastic. All phones are before Glenn Fry passed as well.
Speaker 2: Magic concerts just want to cross to Debbie. Debbie's in
Speaker 2: Ludnum and she's just come across some dramas on the roads.
Speaker 2: Hello Debbie. Hey guys, if anybody knows Ludinum.
Speaker 1: Road, well, it appears to have been a head on collision.
Speaker 25: So one of the workmen walking back was telling me,
Speaker 25: so avoid Ludinum Road at Ludinum.
Speaker 2: Ludinum Road, Ludinum so head on collision. Do you know
Speaker 2: if the people involved in the accent.
Speaker 5: Are Okay, I have no idea.
Speaker 2: I was in the car when about seven police cars
Speaker 2: fit past, four ambulance and about four or five fidru. Okay,
Speaker 2: thank you, yes, just avoid road okay, thanks. Letting us
Speaker 2: know about that, Debbie. We'll speak with the police now
Speaker 2: and find out what's happened here. So it's an accident.
Speaker 2: Appears to be a serious collision Ludinum Road heading west
Speaker 2: in Ludenum. If you know anything about that one send
Speaker 2: me a message zero four s zero eight seven three
Speaker 2: eight seven three.
Speaker 1: On Sydney Now you trans handle the truth.
Speaker 2: The straight Steed, our straight shooter from Monday afternoon is
Speaker 2: the former MP Craig Laundy, and we talked to Craig
Speaker 2: this afternoon because he's coming to us from Boston. He's
Speaker 2: in the United States, where, of course the decision is
Speaker 2: made by the White House at the epicenter of what's
Speaker 2: happening around the world at the moment at get a,
Speaker 2: Craig Quinton, how are you may look, We're good on
Speaker 2: this side of the world, but we are very much
Speaker 2: watching what's happening in the Middle East from the outside. Now.
Speaker 2: Anthony Abernezi today has come out and said that Australia
Speaker 2: does support the decisions that have been made by Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: Just firstly, from your perspective on the ground in the US,
Speaker 2: what is the reaction of the American people to the
Speaker 2: American involvement.
Speaker 17: Well, the first thing I flew in overnight and there
Speaker 17: is a lot more bonier a bit in the last
Speaker 17: twelve bumps, there is a lot more armed security to
Speaker 17: lax transfer and the rest of it way probably way
Speaker 17: too early to be worth that. But I don't think
Speaker 17: they will take any risks because who knows what they
Speaker 17: will do now. But the US sided to I think
Speaker 17: rightfully join in what's going on.
Speaker 2: This is the issue I think going forward for the
Speaker 2: citizens of the United States is that, yes, the Iranian
Speaker 2: military force is no match for the US, clearly with
Speaker 2: the ease of which we've seen what occurred on the
Speaker 2: weekend and also the Israeli action there. But we know
Speaker 2: they have operatives and they fund operatives all over the
Speaker 2: world that may well be in the US that may
Speaker 2: now be developing their plans for terrorist attacks.
Speaker 16: Yeah.
Speaker 17: Look, normally, yes, historically you think that. But coming off
Speaker 17: the back of twelve to eight months of Israel going
Speaker 17: toe to toe with Hamas and Hezbala and the US
Speaker 17: going toe to toe with the Hohothies in Yemen, I
Speaker 17: just think and Siria falling, which I should mention, I
Speaker 17: just think their proxies around the world. They are now
Speaker 17: finally for the first time I think since nine and
Speaker 17: seventy nine, back in a corner. And we'll earn more
Speaker 17: over the next forty eight to seventy two hours on
Speaker 17: what was behind the decision from Trump Andy's team. But
Speaker 17: I wouldn't mind betting that far back in a corner
Speaker 17: that they have thought, let's press on and get rid
Speaker 17: of the clear and present danger, which is nuclear threat.
Speaker 2: Craig. The government reacted with a simple statement over the
Speaker 2: weekend it's taken until today, so a full it's well
Speaker 2: an excess of twenty four hours for Anthony ALBINESI to
Speaker 2: come out firmly in support of the United States. Did
Speaker 2: it take the government too long?
Speaker 17: Yes, he should In a short answer, yes, he should
Speaker 17: have come out straight away. And this is the challenge
Speaker 17: that the party phase. And I don't get it historically.
Speaker 17: I do when parliament's close and the seats in the
Speaker 17: Lower House are close. Even that a lot of the
Speaker 17: seats in the Lower House have a high contingency of
Speaker 17: Australians born of a movement background, but they now hold
Speaker 17: an overwhelming majority, and this is the right course of action.
Speaker 17: You cannot have Iran buring. There was an interview on
Speaker 17: Seeing and over the weekend Clington where the Iranian Defense
Speaker 17: Minister said that the shift from thirty to sixty percent
Speaker 17: in Richmond was happening now. I mean that, I think
Speaker 17: that was the thing that pressed the button for Trump
Speaker 17: and the administration in the US. You can't sit back
Speaker 17: a day after it happens and wait, you've got to
Speaker 17: go all in behind this because the thought of a
Speaker 17: nuclear Iran weapon Iran is just one you cannot deal with.
Speaker 2: On a lighter note. Craig big announcement today ac DC
Speaker 2: are touring the country. They will be playing in Sydney.
Speaker 2: There was some fears maybe they only play in Melbourne
Speaker 2: and then Adelaide for the Supercars Grand Finale, but no,
Speaker 2: they will be playing in Sydney. What are your perspective
Speaker 2: on this from somebody who runs a major hospitality business,
Speaker 2: what does it mean for a big international act in
Speaker 2: Australian act like ac DC to be coming to the country.
Speaker 17: It's huge. It's our version. I mean we had Tylis
Speaker 17: with this time last year. It's our version of that.
Speaker 17: Major announcements of multiple concerts in cities across moy in
Speaker 17: Australia is great for local economies in every state and
Speaker 17: each state government should get on board and support it.
Speaker 17: Thrill but New South Wales have and can't wait to see. Yes,
Speaker 17: that song has sadly been hijacked by the Dallas Keeler,
Speaker 17: but for me, for me, it will always be a
Speaker 17: terminated two song and and and it will be yield
Speaker 17: at the top of the voice by Australians no matter
Speaker 17: what state they're in.
Speaker 2: I think it's been used as the run out music
Speaker 2: for every second sporting club in the world over the
Speaker 2: years at some point.
Speaker 17: Well not not the Bulldogs, Clinton, neither Joker in the Faith.
Speaker 2: Now I think Melbourne Storm Music, the Storm, that's I
Speaker 2: guess that's understandable. I think Angus Angus is seventy or
Speaker 2: he's in his seventies. Brian Johnson that the lead singer,
Speaker 2: he's late seventies. Now are they too old to be
Speaker 2: rocking like this?
Speaker 9: Not?
Speaker 17: Can they can still rock it out like that? Bring
Speaker 17: it on?
Speaker 1: I say, good on.
Speaker 2: You, Craig Queen, Craig Lordia Monday Straight Shooter. So they
Speaker 2: will be coming here in November. Tickets go and sale
Speaker 2: Thursday morning, nine am ticket Tech. It's only one Sydney
Speaker 2: show to start with, but the likelihood is that'll sell
Speaker 2: out fairly quickly and there'll be a second show. I
Speaker 2: think you'll find announced. But if you're desperate to go,
Speaker 2: you're gonna have to line up on well, now you
Speaker 2: know what lines up anymore today? There's no physical ticket
Speaker 2: Tech outlet in Sydney is then ah, you've got to
Speaker 2: do it online. Of course you have done for years now.
Speaker 2: But that'll be Thursday morning. We're going to bring you
Speaker 2: some details on Wednesday about the best way to try
Speaker 2: to go about it. Mark says I saw ac DC
Speaker 2: with Bond Scott Coff's Harbor Civic Sentate nineteen seventy eight.
Speaker 2: There are only a few hundred people there and it
Speaker 2: was absolutely awesome. The stock market has reacted to what's
Speaker 2: happening in the Middle East today by closing down deb Night.
Speaker 2: I'll have all the details of money use from seven
Speaker 2: o'clock the as six two hundred down thirty point six
Speaker 2: points eighty four hundred and seventy four and all Liyes.
Speaker 2: Tonight of course will be on the reaction of Wall Street.
Speaker 2: We spoke to Debbie just a few moments ago who
Speaker 2: was on Ludnum Road and saw all these police come
Speaker 2: drive past her. In Ludenum. There has been an accident,
Speaker 2: as Steve has mentioned the traffic report as well. Two
Speaker 2: cars have been involved. One has rolled on Ludam Road westbound.
Speaker 2: The two patients are now being treated by paramedics. They've
Speaker 2: suffered minor injuries. Scott Hayward actually filling in for deb
Speaker 2: Night tonight, hosting Money News this evening. One three one
Speaker 2: eight seven three is our number. It was this time
Speaker 2: last week I told you about the terrifying shooting at
Speaker 2: the Auburn kebab shop that resulted in three people being shot,
Speaker 2: including one woman who works at that kebab shop. She's
Speaker 2: a lady the police say has nothing to do with
Speaker 2: criminal activity at all. Two men ran into that shop
Speaker 2: wearing all black, wearing black baler clavers, blandishing their pistols,
Speaker 2: and they haven't been found yet. Now I've got full
Speaker 2: confidence in the police that they will find these men,
Speaker 2: these so called assassins, who weren't very good at shooting
Speaker 2: because they missed their targets. But I don't have confidence
Speaker 2: that this gang war is going to be shut down
Speaker 2: anytime soon because of what's fueling it. What fuels is
Speaker 2: cocaine but also illegal tobacco, and this crime war is
Speaker 2: going to continue to raye on and innocent people are
Speaker 2: going to keep being caught up in it because the
Speaker 2: federal government has their head in the sand. It's been
Speaker 2: reported since last week that the man the government had targeted,
Speaker 2: Saman Jim Azari, is high up in the Alamandine crime
Speaker 2: network and this was the fourth attempt in recent times
Speaker 2: on his life, and it's been reported that he is
Speaker 2: one of the players behind a tobacco rip a condor park.
Speaker 2: A rip is where one criminal gang tries to steal
Speaker 2: from another criminal gang drugs or, in this case, tobacco.
Speaker 2: What's fueling the sale of illegal tobacco is the demand
Speaker 2: from every day Australians who usually do the right thing,
Speaker 2: but because the exorbitant price of cigarettes, are resorting to
Speaker 2: buy the illegal stuff because it's so much cheaper. Chris
Speaker 2: Minn spoke out about this issue a few weeks ago
Speaker 2: before the shooting and he said there needed to be
Speaker 2: consideration by the federal government to cutting the excise and
Speaker 2: then the very next day the Treasurer Jim charm has
Speaker 2: ruled it out immediately, no debate notice, gar no, no,
Speaker 2: we're not cutting it. It needs to be looked at.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 2: I've never smoked a cigarette in my life, you know,
Speaker 2: I don't like it, but it needs to be examined
Speaker 2: because the ultimate consequence is innocent people are being shot.
Speaker 22: Now.
Speaker 2: I read today that the new South Wales government and
Speaker 2: the Victorian government and the Queensland government behind the scenes,
Speaker 2: they're joining together to actually lobby the federal government for
Speaker 2: more resources for law enforcement. And they to be good.
Speaker 2: But also Chris mens is not going to give up
Speaker 2: on his campaign that the federal government, through Jim Chummers,
Speaker 2: actually needs to look at the excise. And I know
Speaker 2: that's not popular with the health lobby, that is not
Speaker 2: popular with politicians, but reality is, innocent people are being shot.
Speaker 2: This criminal war is raging on, and much of it
Speaker 2: is fueled by illegal tobacco that people who are usually
Speaker 2: law abiding citizens are buying because they can't afford cigarettes.
Speaker 2: Seven three is my number. Three to five. We've been
Speaker 2: talking about heritage as acts from years gone by is
Speaker 2: in bands who two of the country to huge crowds. David,
Speaker 2: who do you see recently?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 24: Okody, mate, how are you Clinton?
Speaker 2: I'm good.
Speaker 24: I saw actually Akadaca in about seventy five, actually at
Speaker 24: Victoria Park, you know the swimming pool.
Speaker 2: They said they Uni, oh yes, a few years ago.
Speaker 24: Been one of their first concerts.
Speaker 2: But you saw someone recently though.
Speaker 24: I saw Sir Paul McCartney a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2: Oh, legend.
Speaker 24: He was absolutely fantastic. For eighty three there's they're youngsters,
Speaker 24: the Akadeca and he did about three and a half hours,
Speaker 24: going from instrument to instruments, song to song, without even
Speaker 24: a toilet break and.
Speaker 2: That was Allian Stadium. So the Sydney Football Stadium. What
Speaker 2: were the acoustics like there? What was the sound like?
Speaker 24: Oh that was fantastic, fantastic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's that's always the few with the big
Speaker 2: venues like that.
Speaker 25: Oh no, no, it was brilliant. He was fantastic. Played
Speaker 25: everything you played, mandolin, ukulele base, of course, a couple
Speaker 25: of pianos.
Speaker 2: Fantastic. Hey, good on your David, Thanks for letting us
Speaker 2: know about that. There's a suggestion that Sydney has no
Speaker 2: nightlife or it's not good because the people in Sydney
Speaker 2: are pouring. Kim says, you should have been around with
Speaker 2: all the pubs rocked with Ossie music. That was fun.
Speaker 2: Reality is pubs have been able to make so much
Speaker 2: more money over the past twenty odd years from poker
Speaker 2: machines than live bands. And yes, there are still hotels
Speaker 2: that feature live music, but it's far more profitable to
Speaker 2: have a few Pokey's in the corner. Tim says the
Speaker 2: problem with Sydney's nightlife is the mayor. The mayor doesn't
Speaker 2: seem to like nightlife. Clover more. Transport's also an issue
Speaker 2: that the train network shuts down at one o'clock in
Speaker 2: the morning, so it makes it pretty expensive if you
Speaker 2: are out late, if you're trying to get home via
Speaker 2: a taxi or ubert, it's down expensive. Now in the
Speaker 2: next hour of the program, not far now, I'm going
Speaker 2: to spin two GB's Winter Wheel. We have lots of
Speaker 2: cash to give away, but also your chance to win
Speaker 2: a deed group signature dining experience for two people made
Speaker 2: at five hundred dollars. You can go along to Alpha
Speaker 2: or Flying Fish or Sala. I'm going to spin two
Speaker 2: GB's Winter Wheel. You've got to keep listening for the
Speaker 2: Queuter call.
Speaker 1: Their is Sydney now with Clinton on.
Speaker 2: T GB seven past five one three one eight seven three.
Speaker 2: More than four thousand people have now asked the federal
Speaker 2: government for help leaving the Middle East. They are people
Speaker 2: who are stranded in Israel and Iran. Now, some of
Speaker 2: those would be people who've traveled to that region the
Speaker 2: world in full knowledge that it is a danger zone,
Speaker 2: that it's a war zone. Others would be Australians who
Speaker 2: have citizenship who have been there for some time. The
Speaker 2: Foreign Minister Penny Wong says they will use and they
Speaker 2: have since made forces there. They will try to assist
Speaker 2: as many citizens as they can.
Speaker 10: Obviously this is very fluid, but we are seeking to
Speaker 10: make arrangements to utilize that window if we are able.
Speaker 10: Have advised Australians on the ground of that fact.
Speaker 2: The Prime Minister Anthony Albernezi has finally come out and
Speaker 2: said Australia does support the US strikes on Iran. Now,
Speaker 2: it took him more than twenty four hours to make
Speaker 2: that statement. There was a statement issued on the weekend,
Speaker 2: but it didn't come from the Prime Minister's mouth, and
Speaker 2: he's been asked today why did it take so long.
Speaker 9: Well, we aren't a central player in this contract conflict.
Speaker 9: That's just a fact. And what we do is we
Speaker 9: run an orderly stable government. But I make comments about
Speaker 9: this in three countries over recent days, and my comments
Speaker 9: today are perfectly consistent with that.
Speaker 2: Now, Iran does have an ambassador based in Canberra. His
Speaker 2: name is Armada Saturaji and he's effectively today issued a
Speaker 2: veil threat to the United States. This is the ambassador
Speaker 2: to Australia making comments about what's happened in the Middle East.
Speaker 2: He has told Nine News. Other Muslim country may see
Speaker 2: this as an attack. May see this as provocation. It's
Speaker 2: effectively a warning to the US. And given he's the
Speaker 2: ambassador to our country, could it be interpreted that it's
Speaker 2: a warning to us as well.
Speaker 17: You know that he like Iran and Iran would not
Speaker 17: be said, and that would be our responsibility to the US.
Speaker 5: Show net.
Speaker 2: Now, mister Trump has not made fresh comments today. He
Speaker 2: is likely to speak again the next twenty four hours
Speaker 2: and will certainly monitor what he has to say.
Speaker 18: You want to know what's happening in Sydney, stay tuned
Speaker 18: to Sidney Out with Clinton onto GB.
Speaker 2: Now you should watch nine Years tonight with Peter Roverden
Speaker 2: to see these pictures from off Palm Beach this afternoon.
Speaker 2: For several hours, a humpback whale has been trapped in
Speaker 2: a long line. Now it's not clear whether it was
Speaker 2: a fishing line where it was some sort of sharknet unclear,
Speaker 2: but the humpback rail, which was on its migration north,
Speaker 2: was tangled in this line for several hours and cruise
Speaker 2: from National Parks and Wildlife worked for hours and hours
Speaker 2: to try to free it. Now, courtesy the Channel nine helicopter,
Speaker 2: I was able to actually watch this as it was
Speaker 2: all taking part, and there was a four boats that
Speaker 2: surrounded the whale over these hours this afternoon. But there
Speaker 2: were three rescuers in a rubber ducky which is red
Speaker 2: rubber ducky and on the side it said Wildlife Rescue,
Speaker 2: and it was these three rescuers who were basically doing
Speaker 2: all the work. And it was obviously very delicate because
Speaker 2: at times they were able to get close, but the
Speaker 2: whale would toss itself over and cause enormous splash, so
Speaker 2: they had to keep their distance at other times. Eventually
Speaker 2: they managed to actually cut the line away, which is
Speaker 2: great for the whale because the whale will now be
Speaker 2: able to continue migration north. Now it's likely to be
Speaker 2: fatigued and it's probably suffering somewhat for being tangled for
Speaker 2: some time. Chad Western the instant controller of this rescue.
Speaker 2: He's been the man in charge with National Parks and Wildlife.
Speaker 2: He joined me earlier in the program and he said
Speaker 2: this was an extensive and a very delicate operation.
Speaker 3: The team became aware of it into the evening last
Speaker 3: night when it was in the Manly area, and this
Speaker 3: morning we stood up our large whale disentanglement team with
Speaker 3: the assistance of ORCA and Marine rescue and water police.
Speaker 3: It was about one hundred and fifty meters of line
Speaker 3: with four boys wrapped around the body, the peck sins
Speaker 3: and tail. We take a fair bit of time just
Speaker 3: to monitor the whale first to understand its behavior and
Speaker 3: how we'll respond to approach, and to see where it's
Speaker 3: at with its behavior with respective fatigue as well. Obviously
Speaker 3: you can imagine these whales'm quite tired wrapped in in gear,
Speaker 3: and then what they do is they attach boys we
Speaker 3: call kegs and a sea sale in the effort to
Speaker 3: slow it down even further and just make it a
Speaker 3: bit more tired so that when it's approached we can
Speaker 3: better predict its behaviors.
Speaker 2: Chad Western from National Parks and Wildlife who was with
Speaker 2: me a little earlier. So hopefully the whale is going
Speaker 2: to be okay and the experts will continue to monitor
Speaker 2: as it migrates out the case. But you've got to
Speaker 2: say that the three people who were aboard that rubber
Speaker 2: dinghy who became really close, I mean they showed a
Speaker 2: fair bit of courage because the whale was thrashing around
Speaker 2: at some point and the seas would have been quite right,
Speaker 2: simply because of the Wales movement. But they've done a
Speaker 2: remarkable job.
Speaker 1: In the end. If it's happening in Sydney, you'll hear
Speaker 1: it on Sydney now with Clinton on to GB AS.
Speaker 2: I was driving through Sydney South this morning, I spott
Speaker 2: a petrol well under a dollar seventy leader and it
Speaker 2: made me think, given what's happening in the Middle East
Speaker 2: of the moment now, it must be a good time
Speaker 2: to fill up. Well, it certainly is. That's the message
Speaker 2: from the NRMA today. Peter Courry joins me from the NMA.
Speaker 7: Hello Peter, good afternoon mate.
Speaker 2: Why should we fill up at the moment?
Speaker 21: Yeah, look, definitely fill up now. There's a couple of things.
Speaker 21: First of all, the price cycle in Sydney has absolutely
Speaker 21: hit the bottom. We don't think it's going to go
Speaker 21: any further. In fact, we've noticed that clip up a
Speaker 21: little bit in terms of the average. And also what
Speaker 21: we're now going to start to see is the flower
Speaker 21: and effects of what started off between Israel and Over
Speaker 21: a week and a half ago. So wholesale prices have
Speaker 21: gone up about eight cents of later in the last
Speaker 21: week in a bit. That's going to flow on. Plus,
Speaker 21: the price cycle in Sydney is turning, so please fill
Speaker 21: up now. There's some real good bargains across the city,
Speaker 21: but they won't be there for much longer.
Speaker 2: So the fact the fact that the wholesale price increased
Speaker 2: a week ago and we're still seeing petrol relatively cheap,
Speaker 2: why is that the case.
Speaker 21: Look, it's because the price cycle Licdney was falling. That
Speaker 21: to be fair, how did the situation in the Middle
Speaker 21: East not occurred? We would see those falls continue into
Speaker 21: late this week. Because the average price is a dollar
Speaker 21: seventy well, it got to a dollar seventy three, it's
Speaker 21: now gone back up to a solo seventy four. We
Speaker 21: were expecting it to drop to the low one sixties,
Speaker 21: but because of what's happened over the last week and
Speaker 21: a half, we knew that that floor was going to
Speaker 21: be a lot higher, unfortunately than we had hoped, because
Speaker 21: those wholesale prices.
Speaker 3: Have been creeping up.
Speaker 21: And that was inevitably going to be passed on to
Speaker 21: motors here in Australia.
Speaker 2: It's hard to obviously predict what's going to happen on
Speaker 2: the other side of the world in the next couple
Speaker 2: of days. But yeah, if what we are seeing intensifies
Speaker 2: and those world all prices do go up, how fast
Speaker 2: will it take to increase the Bowser prices here?
Speaker 21: Yeah, so price movements globally, So anything that happens globally
Speaker 21: takes about seven to ten days to flow onto Australian
Speaker 21: consumers and Australian motors at the Bowser. So that's why
Speaker 21: we're starting to see those prices that those increases that
Speaker 21: kicked off a week and a half ago, that's why
Speaker 21: we're starting to see those come across the Australian market now.
Speaker 21: So anything that happens overseas takes about seven to ten days.
Speaker 21: We are obviously hoping.
Speaker 1: For the worst of it.
Speaker 21: Everyone is waiting to see what happens next. We expect
Speaker 21: after the US attack on Iran over the weekend when
Speaker 21: the markets in Asia closed, we might see our regional
Speaker 21: benchmark cappers go up two or three dollars a barrel.
Speaker 21: But we're waiting to see. So we're watching very carefully.
Speaker 21: We're hoping we'll see the worst of it. But it
Speaker 21: is the Middle East.
Speaker 2: Simple messages, fill up.
Speaker 21: Today, fill up today, please, good on.
Speaker 2: You, Peter, thank you, Peter Peter Krue from the NRAM
Speaker 2: have a look at the NRMA app as well, because
Speaker 2: that's the way to find savings across the city. No, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: I haven't fallen asleep. Some research has been released today
Speaker 2: overseas that indicates if you get too much sleep might
Speaker 2: not be good for you. For years, we've been told
Speaker 2: that if you don't sleep enough, if you don't sleep
Speaker 2: seven to eight hours, you were damaging your health. Well,
Speaker 2: this latest research is showing if you get too much sleep,
Speaker 2: if you get perhaps nine hours sleep, you could be
Speaker 2: at a greater risk. Jen Walsh is the director of
Speaker 2: Center for Sleep Science. So thank you for joining us, Jen, Yeah,
Speaker 2: thanks for having me in Clinton. I'm very confused this afternoon.
Speaker 2: I'm very confused. So if you sleep too much you
Speaker 2: could affect your health.
Speaker 23: Yeah, sadly, that's what a lot of evidence actually shows,
Speaker 23: not all of it. That we have far more evidence
Speaker 23: indicating that insufficient sleep or not very much sleep is poor,
Speaker 23: you know, for our health and lots of aspects of
Speaker 23: our health. But yeah, there are a few, quite a
Speaker 23: few studies also that show that if we're sleeping sort
Speaker 23: of nine, ten eleven hours, then yes, that can be
Speaker 23: detrimental as well.
Speaker 2: So this was research that was conducted in Hungary and
Speaker 2: they analyzed more than two minion participants, so this isn't
Speaker 2: a small study, and it found that there was an
Speaker 2: increased risk of death for those that slept nine hours
Speaker 2: or more at night.
Speaker 23: Yeah, So what they did was they looked at a
Speaker 23: number of other studies. So they compiled data from it
Speaker 23: was I think about seventy eight studies into something like that,
Speaker 23: and they and on those studies were looking at different
Speaker 23: health outcomes and the overall outcome was general mortality. But
Speaker 23: you know, they were looking at things like cardiovascular disease, cancer,
Speaker 23: and death from all of those conditions, and this was
Speaker 23: the overall finding. When they add up, you know, on
Speaker 23: average all of the results from all of the studies,
Speaker 23: you know, what did they find? And yes, they found
Speaker 23: that if the people were sleeping longer than nine hours,
Speaker 23: and for the most part these studies, that nine hours
Speaker 23: has come from an individual self report, so how what
Speaker 23: they actually think they sleep, so that you know, you
Speaker 23: can imagine there's an inherent error in that measure as well.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 2: That's a really good point because I think there's an
Speaker 2: issue of quality of sleep. I've got an app, so
Speaker 2: I wear a fit bit, and so I look at
Speaker 2: it too closely these days. And even if I'm in
Speaker 2: bed for very rare I'll be nine hours. But if
Speaker 2: I'm in bed for say eight hours, it's very rarely
Speaker 2: the app says I've had eight hours sleep, it's often
Speaker 2: six and.
Speaker 23: Six and a half exactly.
Speaker 22: Yeah.
Speaker 23: So that's one of the potential reasons that these long
Speaker 23: sleep durations are potentially considered or showing to be detrimental
Speaker 23: for health outcomes is because it might just be that
Speaker 23: people are spending more time in bed think they're sleeping.
Speaker 23: Maybe they do think they are asleep, and they may
Speaker 23: go to sleep at the start of that sleep period
Speaker 23: and they wake up at the end, but during the
Speaker 23: night they may be awake lots, so they sleep may
Speaker 23: be quite broken, and that we know is detrimental for
Speaker 23: health long.
Speaker 2: Term broken sleep. I know it's difficult to generalize, but
Speaker 2: as you get older, and maybe it just depends from
Speaker 2: person to person, can you survive on few hours sleep?
Speaker 23: Generally, what we know is that as we get older,
Speaker 23: we achieve slightly less sleep, but or then as we
Speaker 23: get quite old, and we know as we're getting closer
Speaker 23: to our time of death, that our sleep often increases,
Speaker 23: but generally, for a number of years, our sleep, the
Speaker 23: amount that we're getting does decrease, but it is relatively small.
Speaker 23: It may only be in the order of half an hour.
Speaker 23: So we need a little bit less sleep perhaps, or
Speaker 23: maybe we're just achieving.
Speaker 5: A little bit less.
Speaker 2: So is there a magic number?
Speaker 23: Well, the magic number is seven to nine hours, based
Speaker 23: upon the evidence that we've got and based upon expert consensus.
Speaker 23: So you know, getting a bunch of experts in the
Speaker 23: room looking at all of this evidence around health outcomes
Speaker 23: and they recommend seven to nine hours. However, there are
Speaker 23: not many experts out there that are going to say, look,
Speaker 23: if you're getting nine and a half and ten hours
Speaker 23: sleep per day, and you are waking up feeling good,
Speaker 23: feeling refreshed, and you're functioning well, I want you to
Speaker 23: chop an hour off that because we want to bring
Speaker 23: you into that seven to nine range. No one's going
Speaker 23: to say that if people are waking up feeling refreshed
Speaker 23: and they're getting more than that seven that nine hours
Speaker 23: and it's not too much more, then I think that
Speaker 23: that's probably going to be okay. If we're talking about eleven, twelve,
Speaker 23: thirteen hours. Maybe someone wants to go and get themselves
Speaker 23: investigated to see whether there is something else that's going on.
Speaker 23: Is there another health condition that is contributing to that
Speaker 23: long sleep?
Speaker 2: Good advice Nanka Jen Pleasure, sleep well, Jen Welsh, he's
Speaker 2: the director of the Center for Sleep Science. I'm just
Speaker 2: having a look at the Apprikay. So I use a
Speaker 2: bit bit and it measures my sleep. So last week,
Speaker 2: the average sleep that I had was seven hours twenty
Speaker 2: five But if I look it on a daily basis,
Speaker 2: the average is blown out by what I sleep on weekends.
Speaker 2: So on weekends I will sleep more than eight hours generally,
Speaker 2: but then some weekdays. Gee, last Wednesday four hours and
Speaker 2: forty three minutes. That wasn't flash. Let me know how
Speaker 2: you're sleeping one three, one eight seven three. Mark Guy
Speaker 2: reviewing all the rugby league action coming up shortly revealed
Speaker 2: today there has been a six week delay in tunnel
Speaker 2: boring for the Metro West train line. This is the
Speaker 2: new Metro that will run from the city to Paramatta
Speaker 2: and Westmeat and this is worth twenty five billion dollars.
Speaker 2: The halt has been sparked. This has been revealed by
Speaker 2: the Cidney Morning Herald today because it concerns the tunneling
Speaker 2: was going to go too close to the piles. The
Speaker 2: foundations from Major Telster Exchange, which is not far from
Speaker 2: where this big Paramatta CBD metro train station is going
Speaker 2: to be internal documents that have been seen by their herald.
Speaker 2: So the contractors were concerned well over a year ago
Speaker 2: that one of the tunnel boring machines, and they're huge
Speaker 2: or one hundred and eighty meters long, would actually dig
Speaker 2: really close to the piles. So the foundations of the
Speaker 2: multi story Telstra building at two hundred and thirteen Church Street, well,
Speaker 2: the Premier Chris Mins has been asked today when did
Speaker 2: he know this was going to be a problem.
Speaker 22: Generally speaking, they knew that it would be a more
Speaker 22: complex build as you got closer to the surface around Paramatta.
Speaker 22: And as far as when I was briefed, my understanding
Speaker 22: is the Minister for Transport was briefed about the challenges
Speaker 22: weeks ago.
Speaker 2: It is hoped the tunnel boring machines will soon resume
Speaker 2: their operations.
Speaker 1: Wogvs Winter Wheel.
Speaker 2: That is the cue to call. We're looking for the
Speaker 2: fourth caller one three hundred and seven double two eight
Speaker 2: seven three for your chance to spin two GB's Winter Wheel,
Speaker 2: a combined forty thousand dollars worth of cash and prizes
Speaker 2: to give away. We gave away two and a half
Speaker 2: thousand dollars on Friday, so I've got the lucky touch
Speaker 2: when it comes to spinning the Winter Wheel. There's cash,
Speaker 2: prizes to give away. We've also got tickets to the
Speaker 2: state of origin. Decide which, of course. We played at
Speaker 2: the Course Stadium on Wednesday, the ninth of July. You'll
Speaker 2: hear it here, but even better than listening on the radio,
Speaker 2: will actually be there. So that's on the wheel this afternoon,
Speaker 2: along with prizes and National tiles and the DDS Group
Speaker 2: as well, plus cash. So give me a call. One
Speaker 2: three hundred seven double two eight seven three. There's a
Speaker 2: wallaby on the loose. Now, don't fret. It's not running
Speaker 2: around George Street. It's not in Pitts Street. It's in
Speaker 2: New York. What there is a wallaby on the loose
Speaker 2: in New York. It's been revealed that the marsupial has
Speaker 2: escaped the Central New York Zoo. It was spotted on
Speaker 2: a thermal dome camera the wallaby's name is Mac. It
Speaker 2: escaped yesterday from the New York Zoo and they've been
Speaker 2: searching high and low for the wallaby named Mac. And
Speaker 2: the people at zoo say, we can't find her. So
Speaker 2: she we've been trying for hours to catch her can't
Speaker 2: be found. They actually had to suspend the search for
Speaker 2: a little while because apparently they we're going to cause
Speaker 2: Maxi stress On social media, the Zoo's revealed the current
Speaker 2: plan is not working because the amount of space involved
Speaker 2: in this search. In the meantime, based on the thermal
Speaker 2: imaging cameras, we can see she is enjoy eating grass.
Speaker 2: But they can't actually capture Mac. If you see a
Speaker 2: wallaby jumping around, hopping around at the New York Zuo.
Speaker 2: Bad day on the stock market and in response to
Speaker 2: what's happened in the Middle East, the fifth day in

Speaker 2: text message from Christian zero force zero eight seven three
Speaker 2: eight seven three. I just mentioned there have been delays
Speaker 2: with tunneling for the new Metro under Paramatta because it's
Speaker 2: emerged the tunnel operation has come close to the foundations
Speaker 2: of major Telstra exchange. Christian said what they needed to
Speaker 2: do they needed the drain man to dig the tunnel,
Speaker 2: because the drain man to be able to do that
Speaker 2: without disturbing anything above.
Speaker 1: Two gbs.

Speaker 2: Tomorrow in our breakfast program, Mark leave you with Mornings
Speaker 2: and Mick mac Michael McLaren will spin the wheel throughout
Speaker 2: the day and we'll be spinning the wheel on City Now.
Speaker 2: Just listen out for the queue to call. Let's check
Speaker 2: out news headlines and with the latest Katie Cooler and Clinton.
Speaker 11: Australia is backing the US president's decision to attack Iranian
Speaker 11: nuclear sites, but says now is the time for diplomacy.
Speaker 11: Donald Trump has tested regime change may be needed in
Speaker 11: the Islamic Republic if its leaders can't make Iran great again.
Speaker 11: A toddler has died in an incident at a home
Speaker 11: in Port Stevens. Police were called to a property at
Speaker 11: Fingle Bay, finding the two year old unresponsive. They couldn't
Speaker 11: be saved. A whale has been freed after becoming entangled
Speaker 11: in a row pop Sydney's Northern Beaches. National Parks and
Speaker 11: Wildlife will continue to monitor the hump back and postage
Speaker 11: prices is said to go up from next month. The
Speaker 11: basic rate for small letters will jump from a dollar
Speaker 11: fifty to a dollar seventy and ordinary large letters will
Speaker 11: increase by forty cents. In Sport, a total of forty
Speaker 11: three Australians will compete the one hundred and thirty eighth
Speaker 11: edition of Wimbledin, with qualifying beginning today. World number one
Speaker 11: hundred and two. Tristan Schoolgate is chasing his debut in
Speaker 11: the main draw Clinton more news at six.
Speaker 2: K Katie eighteen degrees on the coast, fourteen degrees in Penris.
Speaker 2: So the temperatures are falling quite dark across the city.
Speaker 2: Now it won't be as cool tonight as it was
Speaker 2: across the weekend. It looks like the weather throughout the
Speaker 2: week's actually going to be pretty good. Waverley Council has
Speaker 2: unveiled plans today for two point three million dollar proposal
Speaker 2: for what they're calling memorial walls. Now, the cemetery at
Speaker 2: Waverley is one of the city's oldest. It dates back
Speaker 2: more than one hundred years and it's known for very
Speaker 2: prominent Victorian monuments throughout the cemetery. But like most parts
Speaker 2: of Sydney, they're now running out of space at the
Speaker 2: Waverley Cemetery. So what they've displayed today is this plan,
Speaker 2: and this is common in cemeteries in different parts of
Speaker 2: the country, but they haven't done it like this in
Speaker 2: Waverley before. Is they're going to spend two point three
Speaker 2: million dollars on a memorial wall and it will contain
Speaker 2: small compartments where remains can be given a permanent resting place.
Speaker 2: But what this will do, it will generate six million
Speaker 2: dollars in revenue for the site in the coming years.
Speaker 2: And reality is a Waverley Council, like most organizations that
Speaker 2: run cemeteries, are having problems at the moment, they're simply
Speaker 2: running out of space. They've decided this is going to
Speaker 2: be the answer.
Speaker 1: Finance update, Well, it's.
Speaker 2: Been a fairly rough day on the stock market and
Speaker 2: that has a lot to do with what's happening overseas
Speaker 2: in the Middle East. Scott Hayward filling in for deb
Speaker 2: Night tonight on Money News from seven o'clock. Hello, Scott Clinton.
Speaker 27: You talked about cooling weather. Well, I'm actually impressed with
Speaker 27: how our share market recovered this afternoon. It only closed
Speaker 27: down thirty points zero point four percent to eight thousand,
Speaker 27: four hundred and seventy four Now, obviously this is the
Speaker 27: first time our market has been opened since the US
Speaker 27: bomb crucial nuclear sides in Iran yesterday morning our time,
Speaker 27: but utilities financials Conwalth Bank it a fresh record highs today,
Speaker 27: which is great news for a lot of people who
Speaker 27: have retail and industry super funds, which Commonwealth Bank will
Speaker 27: probably be the line's share of that. Energy stocks also
Speaker 27: maintained its gains. So you know, Iran is the seventh
Speaker 27: largest all producer on the planet as well as being
Speaker 27: the third largest gas producer of natural gas on the
Speaker 27: planet as well. And despite all of that unred that
Speaker 27: we've seen over the last twenty four to forty eight hours,
Speaker 27: the shell market has been resilient both here and even
Speaker 27: the US futures, which we'll talk about tonight on month
Speaker 27: and US from seven o'clock are looking reasonable considering what's
Speaker 27: been taking place.
Speaker 2: Soko's a point of that it's the fifth day it's
Speaker 2: been down, but relatively it could have been far worse
Speaker 2: because it made that comeback.
Speaker 27: Well, that's right. The only thing that I think will
Speaker 27: hurt us, you know, across the two GB listening audience,
Speaker 27: will be the price of petrol. And the price did hit,
Speaker 27: Brent Crudle did hit above eighty dollars just after a
Speaker 27: quarter past eleven this morning. It leveled off at around
Speaker 27: seventy eight dollars. It does mean that the price of
Speaker 27: petrol will go up in my opinion. So if you're
Speaker 27: driving home now listening to two GB filling out the tank,
Speaker 27: now at you a dollar seventy seven, a dollar eighty
Speaker 27: one is not bad. Economists are talking back above two
Speaker 27: dollars between now and maybe again. We've got school holidays
Speaker 27: coming up, so that's also a time when petrol also spikes.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Peter Coury made that point with me a little
Speaker 2: earlier from the NRMA. Today is the day to phill.
Speaker 2: I saw petrol selling Z ten for underd dollars seven
Speaker 2: year leater at some of the surveys in Sydney this afternoon.
Speaker 2: So Philip today, because it's only going to go up
Speaker 2: in one direction. Another giant of the international business world
Speaker 2: has passed away.
Speaker 27: Yeah, Fred Smith, the founder of FedEx. He passed away
Speaker 27: at the age of eighty. He had more than fifty
Speaker 27: years in the business of freight and parcel services. He
Speaker 27: benefited significantly from the invention of the Internet, now delivering
Speaker 27: the FedEx business seventeen million parcels every day. But hold
Speaker 27: tety is Clinton, you love this story. At one point,
Speaker 27: I think it was about forty years ago, the company
Speaker 27: was almost broke. They had five thousand dollars in the bank.
Speaker 27: He went to Las Vegas. He gambled it all on
Speaker 27: blackjack and won twenty seven thousand dollars. I'm not condoning
Speaker 27: any gambling at all.
Speaker 2: And we don't provide financial advice.
Speaker 27: Of course, you know, I've got to hang a barashuit
Speaker 27: over my head on that. But that paid for the
Speaker 27: company's fuel bill which covered the week of drivers for
Speaker 27: the week. And in twenty twenty two he still remained
Speaker 27: as the CEO. Sorry, he still remained as executive chairman
Speaker 27: after he resigned as CEO and upon passing his net
Speaker 27: worth is US five point three billion dollars. So what
Speaker 27: a turn of events from a five thousand dollar punt
Speaker 27: on the last five thousand dollars to try and get
Speaker 27: a few packages in the door. Again, he benefited significantly
Speaker 27: from the invention of the Internet, and of course we
Speaker 27: know during the pandemic Clinton everything was Internet, everything was
Speaker 27: delivered and we couldn't leave our house.
Speaker 2: Well, Australia Post had to approven from the AH triple
Speaker 2: seed today to increase their prices because their letter business
Speaker 2: loses money but their parcel delivery business is doing well.
Speaker 27: Just like I did see that. Yeah, I did see that.
Speaker 27: That's a quite Extraordin'm going to talk about that as well.
Speaker 27: My money used tonight writing on TGB from seven o'clock.
Speaker 2: Good on your Scott Scott Tayward filling in tonight for
Speaker 2: deb Night. You'll hear money used from seven o'clock this evening.
Speaker 1: On Sydney Now.
Speaker 18: A weather update will be here to help him unexpected
Speaker 18: weather Nram Insurance, a health company.
Speaker 2: It was a stunning day today and it's actually reached
Speaker 2: about twenty four to twenty five degrees in some western suburbs.
Speaker 2: Not the case now in most of the West. It's
Speaker 2: around fifteen sixteen degrees, nineteen degrees on the coast. It
Speaker 2: will remain dry tonight. Tomorrow the weather is not going
Speaker 2: to be as good as the high chance of showers
Speaker 2: likely late morning and into the afternoon a top of
Speaker 2: twenty one degrees. The rain will only be hanging around
Speaker 2: for a one day tomorrow. It'll be partly cloudy on Wednesday,
Speaker 2: partly cloudy on Thursday, and a few showers on Friday.
Speaker 2: Oh that's right. I know why it's going to rain tomorrow.
Speaker 2: You know it's going to rain tomorrow because it's State
Speaker 2: budget Day. Yeah, they want to rain on Daniel Bookie's parade.
Speaker 18: You're listening to Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard onto GB
Speaker 18: Colm now one three one eight seven three.
Speaker 2: We talked sport with MG Mark Guyer at this time
Speaker 2: every day. Hello, MG, Halo.
Speaker 4: Clint, just listening to that great chat about the FedEx owner.
Speaker 4: Maybe it's time for you to bank some money on
Speaker 4: your shark. He's at twenty six dollars to win the competition.
Speaker 2: They're blowing out, are they?
Speaker 5: They are blowing out? Mate? Yep?
Speaker 2: Look, I know this is your top ist shit you
Speaker 2: want to talk about today. What exactly is happening with
Speaker 2: the Sharks?
Speaker 5: Well, not really, that's kind of one of the issues.
Speaker 5: I Look, there are three losses.
Speaker 4: They've got beaten forty two to sixteen by the Roosters
Speaker 4: and then that was without five of their origin players
Speaker 4: and forty to ten from the Warriors. Now yesterday they
Speaker 4: blew a sixteen point lead against the Broncos and went
Speaker 4: down thirty four to twenty eight.
Speaker 5: The probably thigh on is they're still sitting in the
Speaker 5: sixth positions.
Speaker 4: So look, they are one of them teams that you
Speaker 4: know they're going to be there come semi final time,
Speaker 4: but they just have trouble beating them that top leshound
Speaker 4: of teams that so it would seem and there is
Speaker 4: a call for maybe ever change in the halves with
Speaker 4: maybe atkinsonder partner the Trindle and looking somewhere for welld
Speaker 4: the Santas or fullback.
Speaker 13: Look.
Speaker 2: I obviously had a lot of attention in that game yesterday,
Speaker 2: and I disagree with that. But the problem the team
Speaker 2: has got is they don't show any ticker And yeah,
Speaker 2: you're led by halves. But they played well for sixty
Speaker 2: minutes of that game, but when the going got tough,
Speaker 2: they couldn't go with them the Broncos, and it was
Speaker 2: actually the best they've played in weeks in the first half,
Speaker 2: and then they were down twelve. They were down to
Speaker 2: twelve men and they scored a try, so that they
Speaker 2: actually showed something. But whether it's Nickeo, whether it's Trindle,
Speaker 2: there were plenty of bad players out there in the
Speaker 2: last twenty minutes. They don't have any resilience. And this
Speaker 2: is what I don't understand MG. As a player. Craig
Speaker 2: Fitzgibven was all about resilience, he was all about toughness.
Speaker 2: His team shows the opposite.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've got to agree with you, Why don't you
Speaker 4: say I think it sort of after Brawley's try you
Speaker 4: mentioned that with twelve men, I thought, where do we
Speaker 4: go the Sharkis are going to win one, that's going
Speaker 4: to be a great one in front of a hostile
Speaker 4: away crowd. But they just they capitulated, and I think
Speaker 4: the Bronco scored the last four or five tries. So
Speaker 4: but anyway, all I got to say is here come
Speaker 4: the Premiers. After the Panthers led, they lost the Newcastle
Speaker 4: in around twelve. Remember that game against the Knights in
Speaker 4: baptist without their origin star and the Knights kicked there
Speaker 4: but twenty five points to six. Well, I thought that
Speaker 4: that's all penefitingam last in the ladder. Well, since then
Speaker 4: they've gone Trino bus a bye to I've been now
Speaker 4: singing eighth position on the ladder. I think it was
Speaker 4: the winner of the year, the winner of the year
Speaker 4: against the Warriors on the weekend without their five origin stars.
Speaker 4: And I think likewise the Rousters, who basically well history
Speaker 4: of they can't win the cop because they've got beaten
Speaker 4: in the first round of the season by the Broncos
Speaker 4: fifty points to fourteen. So that they have now won
Speaker 4: seven games. They're sitting in seventh position. The Roosters and
Speaker 4: that man Tedesco, I think he's the early favorite for
Speaker 4: the Dally And Medal.
Speaker 2: Of the Year and watching a little bit of the
Speaker 2: Roosters game yesterday, what I don't understand, MG, is how
Speaker 2: they're going to put daily Cherry Evans into that team.
Speaker 5: I think that I think that's boat sailed, I really do.
Speaker 5: I think, but.
Speaker 2: They've signed him think allegedly.
Speaker 4: Well, I think they've got to maybe do what they
Speaker 4: did the Titans and do a backflip and maybe maybe
Speaker 4: maybe DC he can end up with the Titans, because
Speaker 4: I think that's the moment who need him.
Speaker 5: I think that at the.
Speaker 4: Moment watching that game betweenty the Eagles and the Titans
Speaker 4: last night, it wants to finish his career with the Premiership.
Speaker 5: But these two young kids at Santa and.
Speaker 28: Swift and Savala at the Roosters, they're doing an all
Speaker 28: mighty job and they have they have all year. And
Speaker 28: if they's still got Walker to come back, so one
Speaker 28: of them has got to be on the bench. And
Speaker 28: that means if Walker comes back and DC, he comes
Speaker 28: and get rid of both of them. So that's that's
Speaker 28: that's not good.
Speaker 5: That's not good. I think both of these kids were great.
Speaker 4: They could do when with Walker comes back and maybe
Speaker 4: seeing the Smith's it's on the bench at number fourteen.
Speaker 4: But yeah, look, I think the ship has sailed. I
Speaker 4: think that's I don't think it's it's good management or business.
Speaker 4: If you assign him now to upset the aboucar that's
Speaker 4: flowing with the roosters.
Speaker 5: I think you're going to go if you look at
Speaker 5: his management.
Speaker 4: I look at the team that that need him, and
Speaker 4: that's why that's that's probably just the Titans at the moment.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, absolutely, he should definitely go to the Titans.
Speaker 22: Now.
Speaker 2: I know you've got your dog bear.
Speaker 1: MG, that's what he is.
Speaker 5: They want to you know what. They're sad.
Speaker 2: There's been research. There's been research released today showing that winter,
Speaker 2: in winter, there is a rise in seasonal depression in dogs.
Speaker 2: The statistics showed that eighty one percent of owners say
Speaker 2: they walk their less dog when it's dark. Eighty four
Speaker 2: percent then notice that their dog sleeps more in winter
Speaker 2: because the poor puppy is depressed, including yours.
Speaker 4: I think that I think they mirror I think they
Speaker 4: mirror their owners. I think that dogs basically, if fIF
Speaker 4: your owners not as actly as they are in winter,
Speaker 4: then the dogs aren't certainly aren't going to be. I
Speaker 4: think people aren't really prone to get up and walk
Speaker 4: the dogs if they're not going to have to walk themselves.
Speaker 4: So I call a bit of boss on this. I
Speaker 4: think the owner's ship is on the owners to get
Speaker 4: up and get off your kaiba, get on the streets.
Speaker 4: Doesn't matter if it's dark, put a little put a
Speaker 4: miner's lamp on your head, and away you go, shot.
Speaker 2: And bewond the miner's lap. So do you put a
Speaker 2: miner's lamp on your head when you're walking around?
Speaker 4: Benruth, I wear flura so they can see me.
Speaker 2: Hey, your grandson is nine months old today?
Speaker 4: Yeah, rivers nine months old today, and it hasn't had
Speaker 4: that's gone quick. But it's amazing how we kind of
Speaker 4: so celebrate these milestones when they're Look one of my
Speaker 4: kids were, you know, six months, seven months, eight months,
Speaker 4: nine months.
Speaker 5: I kind of we didn't celebrate until that one.
Speaker 4: But yeah, little guys, little guys nine months old today
Speaker 4: and we're having a little dinner for him tonight, cooking
Speaker 4: him his special spaghetti.
Speaker 5: Violin aide with his vegetables. And life is.
Speaker 1: Good at the moment.
Speaker 5: Life is great because he's in our life.
Speaker 2: I'm obviously a long way away from that. But when
Speaker 2: you're a grandparent to those little milestones, do they somehow
Speaker 2: need more than with your own kids?
Speaker 5: Oh definitely. I look I honestly, I honestly believe that
Speaker 5: I never thought I could, I could love a child
Speaker 5: as much as I love my own kids until a
Speaker 5: grand kid comes along. It's it's so different now.
Speaker 4: You obviously adore your own children because but when you're
Speaker 4: in the middle of raising them, and you're in the
Speaker 4: middle of looking after them and taking them the sport
Speaker 4: and taking them to the school, and you don't have
Speaker 4: time to do what you're doing now with your grandkid
Speaker 4: that's just basically cuddle him and kiss him and then
Speaker 4: give him back to Marble Dad when he's done a poo,
Speaker 4: when he's happy.
Speaker 3: Or.
Speaker 2: You're such a top lay MG. Hey, we'll talk tomorrow, buddy.
Speaker 2: So Mark go back with us on Tuesday afternoon. Could
Speaker 2: your picture have an MG as your grandpa? I still
Speaker 2: can't comp that that Mark guy has a grandfather. It's
