Speaker 1: You can everyone here until one o'clock today with Perth Today,
Speaker 1: I'm Simon Beaumont. Thanks to my mate and Colie Golly
Speaker 1: Peterson for filling in so admirably yesterday. The yes no
Speaker 1: went off yesterday. Do you think's got Morrison should hand
Speaker 1: back in his AC and I think it was overwhelmingly yes,
Speaker 1: or he shouldn't have received one in the first place.
Speaker 1: I guess to ours answered in a slightly different way.
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening in today. I'll have a yes no
Speaker 1: question for you in just a moment. We have some
Speaker 1: breaking news from the city of Mandra At the next
Speaker 1: ten minutes. One of the giants, one of the giants
Speaker 1: down there, the Timber Giants, Thomas Dambo's Giants, has had
Speaker 1: its legs amputated, and I'll tell you a bit more
Speaker 1: about that in just a moment on the program. Thanks
Speaker 1: for listening him. Dave Parkinson's back today after ten o'clock
Speaker 1: for True Detective So the veteran Superintendent Dignitary Protection bloke,
Speaker 1: hard nosed Copper. We'll be back in to talk to
Speaker 1: us after ten. One of our favorite segments, vict and Travel.
Speaker 1: We be talking European cruisers today. There's a push to
Speaker 1: call pharmacist doctors, pharmacists who have got a master's to
Speaker 1: call them doctors. Wonder what you think about that. We'll
Speaker 1: chat after eleven o'clock on that today and you welcome
Speaker 1: to call in one double three eight eighty two. Just
Speaker 1: listening to the station over the weekend and yesterday I'm
Speaker 1: listening to some of the commentary that's around the place.
Speaker 1: I heard JB. Jamie Burnett talking to Christina the Copper
Speaker 1: about the e scooters, the rideables and the operation over
Speaker 1: the weekend, and we have done a lot on that
Speaker 1: topic on this show. That it does sound like the
Speaker 1: police do not want the rideable high scooters, the horrible
Speaker 1: E writers back. They don't want them back in the
Speaker 1: city of Perth or in Vincent. That's the very clear
Speaker 1: message I heard from from the Assistant commissioner. They're not
Speaker 1: coming back, and they have they have quite some say so. Yes,
Speaker 1: they did pick them up and they see some scooters,
Speaker 1: but it sounds like the cops do not want e
Speaker 1: rideable high scooters back in the city. That's what I
Speaker 1: heard over the weekend. I reckon one double three eight
Speaker 1: eighty two. You can text as zero four eight seven
Speaker 1: two were bringing that breaking news from the giants, the
Speaker 1: Mandra giants. In just a moment, we are looking to
Speaker 1: confirm that one of the giants went in for some
Speaker 1: scheduled mate and SPA treatment but has had her legs amputatum.
Speaker 1: Tell me more about that in just a moment. Now.
Speaker 1: The Prime Minister is to speak to the National Press
Speaker 1: Club today and I want to ask you this question.
Speaker 1: Want to try and clear something up today. Right, Let's
Speaker 1: clear this up once and for all. So yes or no?
Speaker 1: Are you optimistic about Australia's future? Yes or no? Are
Speaker 1: you an optimist? Yes or no? So the PM will
Speaker 1: outline his plan for his next term of government, possibly
Speaker 1: next two terms of government. Albo will speak to the
Speaker 1: National Press Club today. But there's a report out today
Speaker 1: from IPSOS. IPSOS forty seven percent of the Australian population
Speaker 1: believe the country is in decline and that is our
Speaker 1: society is broken. I find that an extraordinarily high figure.
Speaker 1: I'm a Yes, I'm an optimist. What are you? Are
Speaker 1: you an optimist? And are you optimistic about Australia's future?
Speaker 1: Yes or no? Love to hear from you today. Are
Speaker 1: you optimistic about Australias future? I am my kids, You've
Speaker 1: got jobs, they're healthy, they're going well. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1: I tend to look at the future through it through
Speaker 1: the eyes of my kids and my family. But I
Speaker 1: am optimistic about Australia's future. Are you one double three
Speaker 1: eight d two You can text a zero four eighty
Speaker 1: seven triple nine eight ety two. Are you optimistic about
Speaker 1: Australia's future? This IPSOS poll seems to suggest that nearly
Speaker 1: half the population are not believe the country's in decline
Speaker 1: and that our society is broken. I find that a
Speaker 1: very very high figure. I'm certainly not reflected by people
Speaker 1: I know and people I work with, my family, but
Speaker 1: lots of people are, and I wonder why that is
Speaker 1: SMS zero four eight seven triple nine eight eady two.
Speaker 1: Are you optimistic about Australia's future? Yes? Or are you
Speaker 1: a no? Are you pessimistic about Australia's future? We'd love
Speaker 1: to hear from you one double three ay two or
Speaker 1: textas zero four eight seven triple nine eight eighty two
Speaker 1: And how do you what's your KPI for optimism? Is
Speaker 1: it about your is it about cost of living? Is
Speaker 1: it political? Is it about sunshine? Is about the beach.
Speaker 1: Is it about congestion? Is it about population? What is it? Yes?
Speaker 1: The ones at this stage and the nos one so
Speaker 1: Steve says no. I don't know why Steve says nobody.
Speaker 1: He's saying no. We've got had a yes as well,
Speaker 1: So one yes and one no. Are you optimistic about
Speaker 1: Australia's future? The Prime Minister Anthony Alberanezi will talk to
Speaker 1: the National Press Club today and outline his plan for
Speaker 1: all of us. Are you optimistic or are you pessimistic?
Speaker 1: Are you an optimist? Yes or no? We'll take a break.
Speaker 1: It's twelve minutes past nine. I'm Simon Beaumont just to

Speaker 1: call some by Tina. Call this number one double three
Speaker 1: eighty two and phone in the code word today for
Speaker 1: our show is rivalry, as in the rivalry between Queensland
Speaker 1: and New South Wales. Thanks for listening in today some
Speaker 1: of our correspondents that's coming in today. On are you
Speaker 1: an optimist? There's a report around that up to half
Speaker 1: of Australians are pessimistic about our future and they feel
Speaker 1: our society is broken and in decline. So yes or no?
Speaker 1: Are you an optimist? Michael said yes, just need to
Speaker 1: lower our debt for the future. Thank you, Michael. Andrew
Speaker 1: Goday Andrew, good morning Simon. No housing is too expensive?
Speaker 1: Small block snow backyard, Yeah maybe, mate. I mean that's
Speaker 1: going to happen, isn't it with urban infill. There's still
Speaker 1: plenty of big blocks around in Perth. But yeah, take
Speaker 1: your point. Thank you mate. I'm fifty to fifty, says Mick.
Speaker 1: I see a lot of things I don't like, but
Speaker 1: I'm optimistic that we're still okay. Ashley says, yes, I
Speaker 1: am optimistic. Having traveled extensively, always happy to come home
Speaker 1: to a great country. Our standard living political stability and
Speaker 1: diversity of many of the positives. I suggest that many
Speaker 1: don't appreciate what we have sins. Ashley Martin says, I've
Speaker 1: been here twenty years now and sadly Australia has declined
Speaker 1: that there is much more divide amongst people. Australia's week
Speaker 1: and pandace to ideologies as an example. When we arrived here,
Speaker 1: the no schools with fences around them. Now all schools
Speaker 1: have fences because we can't deal with problems. Yes, in decline, Martin,
Speaker 1: thank you. I'm sorry you feel like that, mate, but
Speaker 1: I appreciate your thoughts. Cult from Winchester. Yes, we're in
Speaker 1: rapid decline. That's probably a no. In rapid decline, isn't it?
Speaker 1: Cult forty two percent now in some form of benefits,
Speaker 1: we are no longer the lucky country. People now ask
Speaker 1: can be done for them and say the old adage,
Speaker 1: what can we do for them? Not optimistic? On my fraid,
Speaker 1: dull so it's coming in thick and fast. So are
Speaker 1: you optimstic about Australia's future? The Yester twelve and the
Speaker 1: Nose of sixteen happy to hear from you today. I'm
Speaker 1: in the yeses so I might put up to thirteen.
Speaker 1: I think we're going okay. But as I say, mostly
Speaker 1: see the future through the eyes of my kids, and
Speaker 1: they're going okay as well. One double three a eighty two.
Speaker 1: I'm going to bring you a story just a moment.
Speaker 1: There's a situation down in Mandra with one of the giants.
Speaker 1: She's had her legs ambutator. You can call in one
Speaker 1: double three eight eddy two. You can text A zero
Speaker 1: four eighty seven till nine eight ety two. Well, listens.
Speaker 1: Around about one million people have viewed the Giants down
Speaker 1: a Mandra since they've been open, and they are own
Speaker 1: an incredibly popular tourism attraction for internationals, nationals and local tourists.
Speaker 1: They are amazing Thomas Dambo's giants down through down through Mandra.
Speaker 1: And we've heard a little whisper that one of them
Speaker 1: has had suffer an attack, an insect attack, a termite attack.
Speaker 1: And joining us now is Caroline Knight, the mayor of
Speaker 1: the city of Manager. Hi, Caroline, thank you for talking
Speaker 1: to us.
Speaker 2: Oh good morning, signmon lovely to be here with you.
Speaker 1: Can we confirm that we've got some terminite action on
Speaker 1: the secret giant.
Speaker 2: Look, we can look unfortunately did this hit her. Our
Speaker 2: much loved Lake Clifton giant is legless at the moment,
Speaker 2: and I know that sounds terrible, but look, it's actually
Speaker 2: a lovely story of community partnership that we have down here.
Speaker 2: But with the city of Manager working with our local
Speaker 2: mentioned group who conduct fortnightly checks in on our giants
Speaker 2: to see how they're going. And obviously, as the listeners,
Speaker 2: with no recycled wood out in our bush land, he
Speaker 2: is always under attack from white ants. And unfortunately, two
Speaker 2: weeks ago they identified that she had some termites in
Speaker 2: her feet, which a little bit, a little bit.
Speaker 1: Sad, it's unsurprising. I mean, it's recycled wood, it's soft wood,
Speaker 1: it's something that a term might would be keen on.
Speaker 2: I reckon absolutely, I'd say they would be loving that.
Speaker 2: But look, the men Shed were fantastic in identifying that.
Speaker 2: And so she's had her legs removed and she is
Speaker 2: closed at the moment, but we will have her back
Speaker 2: back in time for school holidays in about two weeks times,
Speaker 2: and the men Shed are helping with that work. So,
Speaker 2: you know, really lovely to have that partnership.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good, well done to them, and I know.
Speaker 1: I think she was booked in for a SPA treatment
Speaker 1: about a month ago, but she has been closed for
Speaker 1: longer than expected. So how long until she's got her
Speaker 1: legs back and he's back in action.
Speaker 2: We're hoping two weeks, so by school holidays is the plan.
Speaker 2: We're just giving her a really good pedicure. She's going
Speaker 2: to look beautiful when she's back there and be ready
Speaker 2: to welcome. And as you know she's been have all
Speaker 2: been so incredibly popular with community. I think in the
Speaker 2: first year we I think it's about over eighty six
Speaker 2: thousand visitors from outside the region in just the first
Speaker 2: year alone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is they are fantastic. I think I read
Speaker 1: somewhere that maybe twenty twenty six, somehow or other, the
Speaker 1: schedule winds up. What does that actually mean? Do they
Speaker 1: get removed or do you are they handed over to you?
Speaker 1: What happens in twenty six.
Speaker 2: Well, Thomas, so the life expectancy is about three to
Speaker 2: five years. And Thomas Danbo is very much of the
Speaker 2: view that they were made of recycled material and nature
Speaker 2: will take its course and you know, they will decay,
Speaker 2: and so you know, when we're doing maintenance to keep
Speaker 2: them going for as long as we can, but when
Speaker 2: they get to a point where they're no longer structurally found,
Speaker 2: we'll have.
Speaker 3: To remove them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so they do.
Speaker 2: We're trying to keep that because they are so popular,
Speaker 2: Oh of course.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, And I know there's a big volunteer sort
Speaker 1: of construction team that have been involved right from the start.
Speaker 1: And when that one was vandalized and burned, I know
Speaker 1: everyone was all hands to the wheel. So what will
Speaker 1: you do? Will you try and maintain them yourselves? There
Speaker 1: are an amazing attraction. What will you do if they
Speaker 1: do start to fall apart?
Speaker 2: Yeah, the city has an ongoing maintenance plan and you
Speaker 2: know we're doing that all the time, just keeping them
Speaker 2: going as long as we can. But obviously, you know,
Speaker 2: when they do reach end of life, which was Thomas
Speaker 2: Dambo's desire, they will be no more. So that's you know,
Speaker 2: we'll keep that going for as long as we can.
Speaker 4: And that's why that.
Speaker 2: Partnership with the Menship is so so lovely, that the
Speaker 2: fact that they go out there every two weeks and
Speaker 2: check out and so we can treat things like turn nights.
Speaker 1: Yeah, any concern for any of the other giants Caroline.
Speaker 5: Noel.
Speaker 2: I think that the men shared are out there fortnightly,
Speaker 2: so they're checking regularly, so you know, we are alerted
Speaker 2: early and that's the most important.
Speaker 1: Thing part of the appeal of this. And Danbo himself
Speaker 1: is a recycler and a forager. We all know that.
Speaker 1: We will know that about him. Can you change the
Speaker 1: type of wood you use? Because I spoke to one
Speaker 1: of my carbon to makes about this and he said
Speaker 1: that type of wood is ice cream for termites.
Speaker 2: Yes, I know it's too much. Look, that was that
Speaker 2: was Thomas Dambo's desire. I mean, he's the artist. Obviously
Speaker 2: he's aware of that. Are these guiants, he does have
Speaker 2: them across across the world. You know, he chose to
Speaker 2: use that because it was discarded, recycled good, knowing full
Speaker 2: well that they are vulnerable, and you know, there's an
Speaker 2: incredible amount of time that goes into building them and
Speaker 2: just random fact, I think it's over seven hundred and fifty.
Speaker 5: Hours to make each one, yep, yep.
Speaker 2: But you know he chooses to use recycled material and
Speaker 2: we have to respect that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So they do have a shelf life. That's that's
Speaker 1: part of the Thomas Dambo deal, isn't it. Thank you
Speaker 1: for talking to us today, Thank you for confirming and
Speaker 1: good luck. Hopefully she's back up and running and a
Speaker 1: viewable soon.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Simon Lovely to stop here.
Speaker 1: The mayor of the City of Mandra, Caroline Night there
Speaker 1: confirming that the Secret Giants has termites and well spotted
Speaker 1: by the men shed and look that I hadn't thought
Speaker 1: about that. That's news to me. Maybe I've completely missed that.
Speaker 1: But though the Mandra Giants after twenty twenty six will
Speaker 1: be no more, so get down and see them even
Speaker 1: during the winter months. I don't know how to pronounce
Speaker 1: this giant's name. I think it's I'm not it's the
Speaker 1: Secret Giant. It's the Lake Clifton Giant. But yeah, she's
Speaker 1: got termites and it's been out of action since I
Speaker 1: think early May or mid May. So that's that is
Speaker 1: the case. And as sands to reason, doesn't it that
Speaker 1: these these giants do use recycled palette wood, would from palettes,
Speaker 1: so they would be they would be vulnerable to termite action?
Speaker 1: But did you know that? And what do you reckon?
Speaker 1: The City of Mandra and the state should try to
Speaker 1: get some more or should they try and maintain them,
Speaker 1: maybe change the type of wood. And I'm just thinking
Speaker 1: on the Flyhea, because I had no ideas. That are
Speaker 1: no idea that after twenty twenty six the mantra giants
Speaker 1: will be no more. That was Thomas Dambo's plant. He's
Speaker 1: a forager, he's a recycler. He uses recycled wood. One
Speaker 1: double three eight eighty two. I'll get back to our
Speaker 1: poll in just a moment. Are you optimistic about Australia's future? Sadly,
Speaker 1: and this does reflect the national poll today the nose
Speaker 1: of twenty five and the yes is a twenty that's
Speaker 1: a great shame. I will get thanks you for sending
Speaker 1: in your correspondence. I will read out as much of
Speaker 1: it as I can. I do appreciate it. THEO Evans
Speaker 1: is an associate professor, he's an applied entomologist. At Uwa
Speaker 1: joins us now to talk about termites.
Speaker 6: Good a theo ah, good morning, sitement.
Speaker 1: Good to talk to you. So this type of wood
Speaker 1: would be very attractive for the manager termite community, I
Speaker 1: would imagine.
Speaker 7: So I'm not one hundred percent sure of the wood species.
Speaker 8: Is it pine?
Speaker 1: I think it's recycled pine.
Speaker 7: I think yes, so it's very few pines have evolved
Speaker 7: resistance to terminio attacks because most pines is growing in cold,
Speaker 7: wet climates, so there's no urmit I think called wet climates,
Speaker 7: so the trees didn't evolve resistance to termid attack. We
Speaker 7: grow mostly radiator pine in the southern parts of Australia
Speaker 7: and that is actually a warmer pine, but from the
Speaker 7: Caribbean originally, and there's a few different subspecies in different
Speaker 7: places in the Atlantic, and those islands actually had very
Speaker 7: few turmits on them as well, so it's the same deal.
Speaker 7: It's very low natural resistance.
Speaker 5: And these.
Speaker 7: Giants which I saw not long after the exhibition opened,
Speaker 7: and that's fantastic. Everyone should go see them. That particular
Speaker 7: one is placed in a forest. Us is highter, I
Speaker 7: think is how you say the name and is a
Speaker 7: name and heighter means hut or cavern, and so it's
Speaker 7: in forest which is stilled with termites, so there would
Speaker 7: be a lot of termites around and it would only
Speaker 7: just be a matter of time till they find the wood,
Speaker 7: and because there's no resistance, it would be eaten quite happily.
Speaker 1: It is highter a lot that theo thank you things
Speaker 1: for helping us out there, and would they be would
Speaker 1: the termites in that forest where she is, would they
Speaker 1: be more active in the cooler months or you're saying
Speaker 1: the summer months, are you?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 7: So they rely on like all insects, they rely on
Speaker 7: the weather, the temperature around them. They're not cold blooded creatures.
Speaker 7: They can generate heat in their own nest when there's
Speaker 7: lots of them all together, but when they leave the
Speaker 7: nest and go foraging, they rely on the external temperatures
Speaker 7: and so it's cold, they get cold. They can't move
Speaker 7: very much. So you tend to get a peak in
Speaker 7: urmide activity through the warmer months and are much lower
Speaker 7: to almost none in the colder months. They come late
Speaker 7: jam Henary into February into March, when the southwest of
Speaker 7: Wa gets very dry. Then actual activity decreases a lot
Speaker 7: as well, because termites need water, and as the soil
Speaker 7: drives out, they tend to stay home a lot more
Speaker 7: because they will actually harm themselves because I lose too
Speaker 7: much water in the environment. So a bit of a
Speaker 7: drop off in the late summer, but still activity levels.
Speaker 1: Are pretty high well, and a number of questions coming
Speaker 1: through from our listeners on our talk back line on
Speaker 1: our text line for you is and it's news to
Speaker 1: me that the giants might not be around in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty seven. I didn't know that. I hope we can
Speaker 1: do something. Is it possible to use another type of
Speaker 1: wood that will be more resistant to termites? I mean
Speaker 1: the city of Mandre will probably have to strike a
Speaker 1: deal with the artists I suspect the original sculptor. But
Speaker 1: is there a wood that's preferable where you can make
Speaker 1: installations like that?
Speaker 7: So you can use hardwoods that come from areas where
Speaker 7: there's a lot of termite activity, So famously in Australia,
Speaker 7: in Southwest Australia, there's jarra which has higher levels of
Speaker 7: termite resistance, but even more one do and turret has
Speaker 7: higher levels of resistance than jarra. But there's a variety
Speaker 7: of tropical hardwoods that could be used. But there's another
Speaker 7: issue that comes along, and that's wood rot fungus. So
Speaker 7: most people have heard about wood rot fungi. They can
Speaker 7: get into your houses. So any wood that gets in
Speaker 7: contact with the ground can absorb water from the ground
Speaker 7: and that means it's now vulnerable to wood rot fungal attack,
Speaker 7: and there's no wood that can resist wood rot fungus forever.
Speaker 7: It's only a matter of time, and once the fungus
Speaker 7: gets in, it actually makes the wood more palatable.
Speaker 1: For the termites.
Speaker 7: The first issue perfect still going to be how to
Speaker 7: stop the moisture, and then once you can do that,
Speaker 7: then you can go on to think about how you
Speaker 7: stop the termites up.
Speaker 1: All right, as you say, probably not unexpected down there
Speaker 1: in the Lake Clifton forest that she has been has
Speaker 1: been a target. But yeah, Nanca, so I didn't I
Speaker 1: didn't realize they were you know, they had a shelf
Speaker 1: life the comprehensive. Thank you for talking to us at
Speaker 1: six PR. Good on you.
Speaker 7: It's my please assignment. Have a good day.
Speaker 1: Yeah you too, Associate Professor Theo Evans. I've got a
Speaker 1: mate who is buying a house at the moment, and
Speaker 1: still you know you have to get a termini inspection.
Speaker 1: It's still it's part of our it's part of our vernacular,
Speaker 1: it's part of our lifestyle, it's part of our construction industry.
Speaker 1: You still need to get a termite inspection before you
Speaker 1: buy a house, right, so it is all part of it.
Speaker 1: Wonderuble three eight two. Yeah, happy to talk to about
Speaker 1: white ants and termites if you like. They do live
Speaker 1: in the forest and they've eaten the legs off one
Speaker 1: of the giants down in mandra It's we kind of
Speaker 1: have to live with them, don't we. If you're if
Speaker 1: you're aware of a high profile structure that's been attacked
Speaker 1: by termite, So if that's happened in your home, or
Speaker 1: you know, if you've got a termine story, let us
Speaker 1: know one double three eight eighty two yes, no question.
Speaker 1: Are you optimistic about Australia's future? Then yes are twenty
Speaker 1: one and the nose of thirty seven. The nose are
Speaker 1: thirty seven. I'll come back to some of your responses
Speaker 1: as the show goes on. Yeah, thanks for your thoughts today.
Speaker 1: Are you optimistic about Australia's future? There's some research out
Speaker 1: overnight that suggests forty seven percent of us are not
Speaker 1: Albo Anthony Alberinezi. The PM is giving an address to
Speaker 1: the National Press Club later today. The yes is are
Speaker 1: twenty one of the question is are you optimistic about
Speaker 1: Australia's future? That yes is are twenty one, the nos
Speaker 1: are thirty seven. Jim get A, Jim definitely, Yes, is
Speaker 1: the best country in the world. Pessimists should pull their
Speaker 1: heads out of the sand, look around and realize how
Speaker 1: they're good. We've got it too many entitled people here,
Speaker 1: David says. Country in decline, crime and lawlessness, ethnic hatred,
Speaker 1: loss of social cohesion, poor leadership, political lies, government debt
Speaker 1: and overspending defense force is pathetic, no productivity, renewables fraud,
Speaker 1: continues David. That is that is a big issue. Isn't
Speaker 1: the renewables issue? The net zero transition? We just returned
Speaker 1: the worst government despite all this we did David through preferences. Admittedly,
Speaker 1: John says Simon, wouldn't they spray them every couple of
Speaker 1: months for the termites? Thanks John. Steve says Huon Pine
Speaker 1: h Uo n Huon Pine from Tasmania. The last two
Speaker 1: thousand years below and above ground is full of natural oils.
Speaker 1: And Brad says the giant needs sneakers made from urmi mesh.
Speaker 1: Thanks Brad. Dan says it's a yes from me. What
Speaker 1: other country you prefer to live in the best place
Speaker 1: in the world? This one here from ben Guda Ben No.
Speaker 1: We are killing this country on the same path as
Speaker 1: the UK. I hope I'm wrongs has been in capitals.
Speaker 1: A lot of people not optimistic about the future of
Speaker 1: the country, optimistic that the Yester twenty two and the
Speaker 1: nose of thirty eight. I mean, yes, I'm part of
Speaker 1: the twenty two. It wou'd be different if you're a migrant,
Speaker 1: if you've come from somewhere else too. We've come from England,
Speaker 1: which is it rains all the time. My dad used
Speaker 1: to say, every day be raining now in England. One
Speaker 1: duble three two. Hello, Jeff, Hi Simon, how are you good?
Speaker 1: Thank you? You know a bit about timber and termites.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, I do a little bit. So we're using
Speaker 9: a new product that's coming from the Netherlands. It's initially
Speaker 9: a sustainable pine which has been treated. It's called a koya,
Speaker 9: which has been treated with a non toxic natural product
Speaker 9: which is kept very secret. No one seems to know
Speaker 9: what it is. But it's used a lot for decking,
Speaker 9: for joinery, staircases and at the moment because it's a.
Speaker 1: Substitute for jara.
Speaker 9: You know, you used to get a lot of boardwalks
Speaker 9: and that made out of jarra. Now this product's used.
Speaker 9: We've machine a lot of it and it has a
Speaker 9: lifespan of guarantee of a lifespan of wood rot terms
Speaker 9: for fifty years. So that's that's the new product that's
Speaker 9: we tend to be using at the moment.
Speaker 1: So and what is it is it? Is it like
Speaker 1: if you went down and down to mand r could
Speaker 1: you could you paint it on the giant's feet? What
Speaker 1: does it look like? Yeah, yeah, yeah you could.
Speaker 9: Yeah you could use it. Yeah, I definitely could use
Speaker 9: it to make Yeah, you definitely could use it for
Speaker 9: that and the last fifty years. Being that it's a pine.
Speaker 9: Here in Australia, Western Australia we use the arsenic and
Speaker 9: lo osp treated pine, which is really a non non
Speaker 9: environmental product. But with this new product coming from the Netherlands,
Speaker 9: the treatment is guaranteed.
Speaker 8: To be not.
Speaker 9: Just not destroyed for for the environment, for trees, for animals,
Speaker 9: animals constew it and nothing will happen. So yeah, okay,
Speaker 9: can I just can I just say just one quick
Speaker 9: simon if you mate, we put we put timber out
Speaker 9: on our verge just a bit of a serious now,
Speaker 9: we put timber out on our verge for a lot
Speaker 9: of pensioners and down and out people for their firewood.
Speaker 9: That's the last couple of weeks I've had someone pinching
Speaker 9: out crates and bags, just taking them more, And I
Speaker 9: just want to say that person's listening. You know, you're
Speaker 9: doing a designer to all these poor pensioners that come
Speaker 9: around on the weekend picking timber to keep them warm.
Speaker 9: And I just wish that I'm not going to go
Speaker 9: the police for it, but I just wish that he
Speaker 9: sort of pee or share. I should say, stop stop
Speaker 9: doing that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, thanks mate. Yeah, so that these are
Speaker 1: the containers that Jeff Jeff's business put timber out for
Speaker 1: people to grab. One double three two is the phone number. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Bob from Bill bullwinklekodo Bob, Sorry, Simon, but I'm a
Speaker 1: no watching the deterioration of traditional values is sad. These
Speaker 1: values with a cornerstone in society. It's a worry. So Bob,
Speaker 1: Thanks Bob. Goodyear from your mate. Ben from Kelmscott says no.
Speaker 1: Janet says yes, becoming so overpopulated, the cost of living declining,
Speaker 1: So I think you're in No, Janet, I think an
Speaker 1: aileen of reason, the voice saying next to me, sorry mate,
Speaker 1: ailing the voice of reason said, seems that even the
Speaker 1: giants are subject to inbuilt obsolescence. That's such a shame. Yeah, Ailien,
Speaker 1: I get and I had no idea. But Thomas Dambo
Speaker 1: is a forager and a recycler, and he it was
Speaker 1: always his plan, which I must have been somewhere in
Speaker 1: the in all of it. It was always the plan
Speaker 1: that the giants, would you know, had a shelf life.
Speaker 1: A developing story. We are hearing this is coming out
Speaker 1: of Hamilton Hill. We are hearing that Plantagenet President in
Speaker 1: Hamilton Hill has been cordoned off by police. There are
Speaker 1: multiple police vehicles there. There is a primary school in
Speaker 1: the area called south Well. Southwold Primary School has sent
Speaker 1: a message to their parents advising the parents of the
Speaker 1: street closure please so there's no threat to student safety.
Speaker 1: So we are we are hearing that now the no
Speaker 1: of We'll try and chase up some more information from authorities.
Speaker 1: Bills phone in High Bill good A.
Speaker 3: Simon's I ever thought you were joking when you said
Speaker 3: you were a years person.
Speaker 1: I am not.
Speaker 3: You, and I agree on just about almost everything when
Speaker 3: you've come out with that thought as joking. But I
Speaker 3: don't like being a negative person at all. But I
Speaker 3: was brought up in Australia, Western Australia when it was fabulous.
Speaker 3: My parents never ever locked our doors and that was
Speaker 3: that was in victim. You know, somebody has has their
Speaker 3: doors unlocked now that they've got to be a damn
Speaker 3: good fighter or have some something good behind the front door.
Speaker 1: That's so, that's a that's a good KPI, Bill, you know,
Speaker 1: having a lock our cars and our houses, that's a
Speaker 1: I understand that. I think there's probably still some place
Speaker 1: in the country we don't have to do it, Bill.
Speaker 1: But yeah, well mate, keep listening and hopefully we can
Speaker 1: continue to agree and disagree on stuff. How old are you, Bill?
Speaker 3: A young eighty two?
Speaker 1: All right, so you've seen a bit of seen a
Speaker 1: bit of action.
Speaker 3: I'm still yeah, well i've I've don't know. You played
Speaker 3: sport more often than not. And it wasn't long ago
Speaker 3: that I still water skiing.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 3: One of my friends dragged me. He started off slowly
Speaker 3: and dragged me along slowly, and I got worn out.
Speaker 3: He's not a friend anymore.
Speaker 1: But you don't sound a spot.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 3: Well, your show is really good, and they say it's
Speaker 3: I pay a lot of attention to it, and that's
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. It's for a pom. You a really
Speaker 3: good guy. It's just amazing. I met an irishman yesterday
Speaker 3: and h he's a really he's a really really interesting guy.
Speaker 3: And I might have some really good news for you
Speaker 3: in another six months time. Yeah right, yeah, and which
Speaker 3: will be really interesting for you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me know. Bill. You know where we are.
Speaker 1: Bill always you can always ring And I am up, mate,
Speaker 1: hang in.
Speaker 10: I'm all right.
Speaker 3: And I just feel sorry for the kids these days,
Speaker 3: and and the girls. There's too many girls now and
Speaker 3: we need more more males born. I've got five granddaughters
Speaker 3: and I think crops are no good males around it.
Speaker 1: All right, matey, good to talk to you Bill. Thanks mate.
Speaker 1: Billy's Bill's not not optimistic about the Australia's future because
Speaker 1: we have to lock our doors. And you know, I
Speaker 1: know what he means. That's a sense of a sense
Speaker 1: of loss of security, loss, you know, some lawlessness. But
Speaker 1: it's probably I'm not meaning to be glib here, but
Speaker 1: that's a worldwide thing, isn't it. That's part of a
Speaker 1: part of what we see worldwide. But Bill's not optimistic.
Speaker 1: Habit to take your calls one double three eight to
Speaker 1: eighty two. Did you know that the giants were had
Speaker 1: a shelf life? And I just when we come back,
Speaker 1: I'm going to make a comment. John mcketney's stepping down
Speaker 1: as the head of the Triple of the Triple c
Speaker 1: and it's you know, he's devoted that the former judges
Speaker 1: devoted a lot of his life to the Triple Sea
Speaker 1: and the work that it does. They've had some high
Speaker 1: profile victories. They managed to land Paul White. You know
Speaker 1: we heard Millsy and Carl talk about this morning. Paul
Speaker 1: White is the work in this building here for the
Speaker 1: Department of Communities and ripped off all of us that
Speaker 1: the most excessive public servant criminal in the history of
Speaker 1: Western Australia, somewhere between twenty two and twenty five million
Speaker 1: bucks he managed to rip off out of the system
Speaker 1: because he's an executive at Communities and was allowing jobs
Speaker 1: to go ahead without being approved. And it was jobs
Speaker 1: where he was taking the money out of the system
Speaker 1: for himself and some of his dodgy mates. So you
Speaker 1: know that has been a high profile scout. But I
Speaker 1: would say, and I'll come back to this in just
Speaker 1: a moment, I would say that that Paul White had
Speaker 1: whistleblowers inside communities. That wasn't all down to the Triple See,
Speaker 1: the Triple C landed him, and you know, through their
Speaker 1: contacts and through the police, we were to bring their
Speaker 1: considerable powers to bear. But a lot of that heavy
Speaker 1: lifting was done by people within the department itself who
Speaker 1: blew the whistle on this dodgy bloke. I'll come back
Speaker 1: to that in just a moment, because there's another story
Speaker 1: doing the rounds about a Department of Justice employee teenager
Speaker 1: where a Triple C investigation and an internal Department of
Speaker 1: Justice investigation matters to nothing, and on the face of it,
Speaker 1: it seems really obvious that this young bloke was given
Speaker 1: favors by virtual nepotism and family context contacts. We'll come
Speaker 1: back to that in just a moment. Wonderuble three eight
Speaker 1: e two and our question today, are you optimistic about
Speaker 1: Australia's future? I'm not optimist, So with yes, the thirty
Speaker 1: in the nose of forty eight, Tony's funding. Hi, Tony,
Speaker 1: there you goes.
Speaker 11: I would just let you know there's a police cars
Speaker 11: smashed into civilians car on a corner of Patterson and
Speaker 11: Reid Road in Rockingham. Oh no, yeah, so there's behind
Speaker 11: this behold, there's police on the scene. But it looks
Speaker 11: like everyone's out of the cars. But the front of
Speaker 11: the cop cars pretty smashed up. They've planned right in
Speaker 11: the middle of the B pillar on the on the
Speaker 11: driver's side.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, anybody anybody hurt? Turning from what you can see.
Speaker 11: I just drove. Looked like everyone's down the vehicles, so
Speaker 11: I don't think anyone's heart But yeah, I did.
Speaker 5: A pretty good job.
Speaker 1: Yeah. That's a busy intersection too, mate, isn't it this
Speaker 1: time of road, this time of day. Thanks Tony, thank
Speaker 1: you for letting us know. He's hoping everyone's all right.
Speaker 1: One double three aged two will come back. Craig, stay there, mate,
Speaker 1: we'll have a chat to you in just a second.
Speaker 1: We want to talk about the Water Corporation. I know
Speaker 1: Olie spoke about the overflowing sewerage issues in some of
Speaker 1: the southern so' still going today. But Philip are talking
Speaker 1: about in our news are you optimistic about Australia's future?
Speaker 1: The yes at twenty nine, the nose of forty eight
Speaker 1: back in a moment, How good was it that Sue
Speaker 1: McDougall received a gong in yesterday's King's Birthday Awards. What
Speaker 1: on Sue Center a message yesterday she's a rippers and
Speaker 1: she she's been working here at six PR on and
Speaker 1: off for over thirty years dispensing love, care and wisdom.
Speaker 1: And it's not just about the chili thrip or the
Speaker 1: tomato or your citrus. It's about caring for the canopy
Speaker 1: and the trees and the environment. So world Unsue from
Speaker 1: all of us, very very proud of you. That is
Speaker 1: a fantastic result. And if you've ridden a mountain bike
Speaker 1: in Wa, you've probably written on the track. If you've
Speaker 1: written in Dwelling Up or maybe Collie Esperances or done
Speaker 1: one of the races, you've probably had something to do
Speaker 1: with Tony Tuckknott. And Tony Tuckknott is mister mountain Bike
Speaker 1: in w A and he received an award yesterday as well.
Speaker 1: So we might try and get t t on a
Speaker 1: little bit later. Absolute Alarican rascal of a bloke, loves
Speaker 1: the bush, loves mountain biking and loves the movement. And
Speaker 1: we have, you know, seen mountain biking exploding in Wa
Speaker 1: in the last five or ten years and t T
Speaker 1: Tony tuck Knot's had a lot to do that and
Speaker 1: he picked up a gong yesterday as well. Just this story,
Speaker 1: this is not our story. This comes from the national broadcaster.
Speaker 1: The State Political Reporters has the story. So the Department
Speaker 1: of Justice have got a seventeen year old family member
Speaker 1: who works at the DOJ and has received a number
Speaker 1: of sort of I guess contracts and then permanent work,
Speaker 1: but has also received and jump a Q for government
Speaker 1: fund housing. So this person hasn't been named because they're
Speaker 1: seventeen obviously, but the DOJ ran their own investigation and
Speaker 1: said move on, there's nothing to see here, and Triple
Speaker 1: C were called in and they've also said so the
Speaker 1: Triple c's Parliamentary Inspector, Matthew Zilko said that the investigation
Speaker 1: was wholly inadequate. So on a day that we commend
Speaker 1: John mckeckney for his work as the head of the
Speaker 1: Triple C, the former judge, we see the Triple C
Speaker 1: running the ruler on the Department of Justice and be
Speaker 1: coming up with being very has been an investigation wholly inadequate.
Speaker 1: So this is seventeen year old. It's just amazing that
Speaker 1: people still think this is okay. It's been given a
Speaker 1: couple of contract jobs and an extent a permanent position
Speaker 1: and as jump the Q to get a house, a
Speaker 1: three bedroom house in country wa seemingly bypassing a waiting list,
Speaker 1: DOJ run their investigation? Move along? There's nothing to see here.
Speaker 1: Matthew Zilko from the Triple C says, no good. This
Speaker 1: is wholly inadequate. And this is on a day where
Speaker 1: John mckeckney steps down. I guess the question of what
Speaker 1: Triple C is meant to do and has it achieved?
Speaker 1: It under John's watch is alive and well? I reckon, Veronica,
Speaker 1: are you optimistic about Australia's future?
Speaker 10: Absolutely optimistic. I couldn't be more optimistic, Simon fantastic.
Speaker 1: And why why so.
Speaker 12: Is the best country in the world and I feel
Speaker 12: blessed to be here.
Speaker 1: That's all right, thank you, Veronica. She's an emphatic Yes.
Speaker 1: We'll put you in the yes column. You heard Oli yesterday,
Speaker 1: feel it. He was well, he was more than filling in.
Speaker 1: He was just came in off the bench in magnificent
Speaker 1: for Molly yesterday on this show and he spoke about
Speaker 1: the sewerage leaks through the southern suburb. Shane Lover has
Speaker 1: just put out a statement saying this water, apparently this
Speaker 1: sewerage water has gone into the Swan River. It's contaminated
Speaker 1: the Swan River. Craig has texted us today about the
Speaker 1: water corporation issues in the Midwest. Could I Craig good?
Speaker 1: Good mate? What's happened?
Speaker 6: Yeah, my son sent me a message last night about
Speaker 6: five pm to say that the water is off in
Speaker 6: Port Dennison and Dongra and all the surrounding suburbs Bonnyfield
Speaker 6: and Springfield. According to the Great Vine up there, the
Speaker 6: main pipe water supply pipe to the town has burst
Speaker 6: and watercopper in the process of fixing it. Estimated about
Speaker 6: midday to day to be repaired.
Speaker 1: So where to in the absence of ning Kraige, where
Speaker 1: do dong Report, Dennison and those places get their water from?
Speaker 1: Is it dam water?
Speaker 6: I know it's a boarfield, okay, I get it from
Speaker 6: a ball field. It's not part of the I don't
Speaker 6: think it's connected to the metro area supply to a separate,
Speaker 6: separate supply okay.
Speaker 1: And went off at three o'clock yesterday's and still not
Speaker 1: back on as.
Speaker 6: Of a couple of minutes ago. Yes, still not back on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, And it's definitely and there's definitely you know
Speaker 1: you do in some of those country towns like busso
Speaker 1: there's bustles and water and these kind of authorities. Is
Speaker 1: it definitely Watercourt Craig.
Speaker 6: Yes, there's definitely Watercorp up there.
Speaker 1: Yeah. All right mate, thanks letting us know. We'll follow
Speaker 1: it up, Thank you, Craig. Yes, so Shane, yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean different issue obviously, sewage and waste all are different
Speaker 1: to water supply. I think Shane Love is making the
Speaker 1: point today.
Speaker 8: You know, we've.
Speaker 1: Got in a pretty healthy situation budget wise here in
Speaker 1: w A, and critical infrastructure like sewerage is shouldn't be
Speaker 1: leaking into the Swan River, shouldn't be made in suburban
Speaker 1: streets and in houses, and Shane saying the government and
Speaker 1: Water Court must provide answers. It's a serious public health
Speaker 1: and environmental risk, says Shane Love by a correspondence today.
Speaker 1: One of our listeners from Peters is Tony Tuckknott won
Speaker 1: the w A speed Card Championship with Clermont's Speedway. I
Speaker 1: didn't know that, Peter. I do know that he used

Speaker 1: ripper and he got a gone yesterday. Well done. No
Speaker 1: are you an optimist? No, says I can't get it.
Speaker 1: I don't think that has a name. Chris is. It's
Speaker 1: a solid note from me. This country is on a
Speaker 1: path of total poverty. It's completely engineered by design. A
Speaker 1: majority of people more than hay to have someone else
Speaker 1: think for them, provide them to take care of all
Speaker 1: their needs. That's quite obviously. The latest election results is
Speaker 1: Chris Chris. That's yeah. There is a silent majority, isn't there, mate,

Speaker 1: Apple Cross. Places like that. Sounds like they're working around
Speaker 1: the clock on the sewerage leaks, but less an ideal.
Speaker 1: We'll try and stay across it for you today. Let's
Speaker 1: do this park He's done everything. He's been a street copper,
Speaker 1: he's been a superintendent, he's been a detective, he's been
Speaker 1: part of security details, dignitary protection. He joins us on
Speaker 1: per today right now, gooda, Dave, Parky, how are you okay?
Speaker 5: So i'mon all well made. I'm a big yes. I
Speaker 5: don't know what's wrong with these people.
Speaker 1: I thought you would be.
Speaker 5: May we've been through maybe we've been through two World wars.
Speaker 5: Appearents have been through a depression.
Speaker 13: Off.
Speaker 5: The stadium's packed every week in, the cricket's packed every week.
Speaker 5: In You get in a vehicle and drive from here
Speaker 5: to Kratha and you'll see billions of dollars of full
Speaker 5: and boats and there not all gray and omads, and
Speaker 5: the pubs are pretty well packed. So I really can't
Speaker 5: I really can't see where these people are coming from.
Speaker 5: I agree with the numpty, but you people have voted
Speaker 5: for him.
Speaker 1: Well mate, I as I say to Jacko each three weeks.
Speaker 1: You can still buy three bags of ice for twelve
Speaker 1: bucks when you've got.
Speaker 5: I used to try and I try to make me
Speaker 5: ownst and I forgot the recipe.
Speaker 1: All right, mate, let's get serious now. You, as I
Speaker 1: mentioned in the in the intro, you've been a lot,
Speaker 1: You've done a lot of security and dignatory protection. Pope
Speaker 1: John Paul, the second Queen Elizabeth roy or the royal family.
Speaker 1: Who are some of the others, mate.
Speaker 5: But I think I mentioned me in Paisley Friando Touchman,
Speaker 5: President of Croatia, President of Ireland, Mary Robinson. Well, I
Speaker 5: shouldn't say this, but I really fell in love with
Speaker 5: that lady. What an absolutely terrific person. And for those
Speaker 5: who don't know, are google her and she's probably one
Speaker 5: of the most amazing ladies on Earth. I think we
Speaker 5: mentioned a little bit a bit when she politely reminded
Speaker 5: me that David, I'm the British Prime Minister, you're my
Speaker 5: security officer and sort of put me back in my
Speaker 5: little hole when I was trying to do the right thing.
Speaker 5: Keating obviously Keating hawk Leaf one year was the first
Speaker 5: I'd only been in the squad in the protective service account.
Speaker 5: I derism for a couple of weeks and I was
Speaker 5: in awe of that man, and I know he's not
Speaker 5: with us anymore, but I still am. A lot of
Speaker 5: people will disagree totally because of how strict Singapore was.
Speaker 5: I went to Singapore in seventy four the first time
Speaker 5: with the made of mine from Sandstone, and we were
Speaker 5: short haired, decent looking blakes, and it was interesting at
Speaker 5: the airport Singapore airport three Izi's got turned away because
Speaker 5: the hair was just there the above the shoulder but
Speaker 5: not far and they got turned down or had to
Speaker 5: have the old haircut there.
Speaker 1: And then I think I remember the acronym party, I suspect,
Speaker 1: then hippie and transit. I do remember that back back
Speaker 1: in the day, one of the you mentioned Frojoe Tujum
Speaker 1: and the president of Croatia, and that that was one
Speaker 1: of your really big ones, wasn't it.
Speaker 5: That was very very scary. That was very very scary
Speaker 5: because we'd had the first of the Balkan which affected
Speaker 5: a significant number of people here in Western Australia. You
Speaker 5: mentioned Jacko before you know, we got very very proactive
Speaker 5: and used to go to all the Spearweddal Maddanak and
Speaker 5: all the Croats and then the clubs and and try
Speaker 5: to get in and establish a rapport. And one incident
Speaker 5: you wouldn't believe this. I've only just remembered this as
Speaker 5: we were speaking. How insignificant was this. There was a
Speaker 5: well known I think soccer ex soccer star living down
Speaker 5: in spear Wood and a group of youths egged his
Speaker 5: house and these guys were from high school down there,
Speaker 5: and it caused so much tension and there was death
Speaker 5: threats and whatever and what John watching myself actually went
Speaker 5: down there and spoke to the parents and it was
Speaker 5: so volatile. Simon. It was I just think gave us
Speaker 5: someone egging this guy's house. But this guy was not
Speaker 5: a Croatian. It was on the other side, so to speak.
Speaker 5: And once we sat down with the parents and these
Speaker 5: young kids that they were all about sixteen and explained
Speaker 5: to them the ramifications, they sort of pulled their heads in.
Speaker 5: But do you know where it came from? Came from granddad,
Speaker 5: the old granddad's meeting, sitting down having their veno and
Speaker 5: whatever on weekends and talking about it, and the very
Speaker 5: impressionable grandkids and that gone, and yeah, just something simple
Speaker 5: like this. We've been involved in some high profile stuff
Speaker 5: and pretty deadly stuff and that was part of it.
Speaker 5: Then Tudgman was incredibly scary for maybe because I was
Speaker 5: his number one coast protection officer and Todd first.
Speaker 1: First ball to prove vest his main bodyguard.
Speaker 5: Yeah. And I don't want your listeners to laugh. Don't
Speaker 5: think of what you see on the television.
Speaker 14: Now.
Speaker 5: This was actually think of a three piece suit. This
Speaker 5: was an actual vest and you couldn't move in it.
Speaker 5: It was like like you breake in a leg and
Speaker 5: they put plaster of Paris on you. So I was like,
Speaker 5: I was like a turtle, mate. I just had to
Speaker 5: head in two arms sticking out and but and I
Speaker 5: looked like Herman Munster and at the top half of
Speaker 5: my was massive and the bottom half. But what had
Speaker 5: happened just very quickly, John and myself got called to
Speaker 5: a house in Morley about a week before and there
Speaker 5: was a group of individuals and I will not compromise
Speaker 5: anyone or or what sides they were or where are
Speaker 5: they from, but basically they said we had to do
Speaker 5: everything power to stop Tutchman from coming here.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 5: And there was a circle, circle of men at the table.
Speaker 5: One bloke was incredibly distraught and they took me and
Speaker 5: or John and I into the room with him. And
Speaker 5: several months before his wife and three children had been
Speaker 5: executed and beheaded in front of him over in the Balkans.
Speaker 5: And I'll tell.
Speaker 1: You what, I think, that's the that's the issue for me.
Speaker 1: It wasn't that. It wasn't that long ago, was it parking?
Speaker 1: And I guess you know, here we are living over
Speaker 1: here in our part of the world, and that was
Speaker 1: happening in modern society. The atrocities were horrific, weren't they.
Speaker 5: Oh Gore terrible, And I mean there's been a number
Speaker 5: of movies and documentaries made, and I think there was
Speaker 5: one more criminal serving, more criminal charged. I think we're
Speaker 5: talking nineteen nineties, just off the top of the head.
Speaker 5: And to see what people could do to each other.
Speaker 5: There was ethnic cleansing, there was whatever. And here we
Speaker 5: had the enemy of a number of people in our
Speaker 5: community coming into our midst and it was very, very
Speaker 5: volatile and very very scary. It was probably he was
Speaker 5: only here, I think for about eighteen hours. It was
Speaker 5: probably the most intense security operation that we have ever done,
Speaker 5: and it was bloody scary mate. I don't mind, you know,
Speaker 5: I'll tell us it is. We were very, very very
Speaker 5: nervous and I'm not sure. I think it was the
Speaker 5: Perf entertainments in it. Now could be wrong that we
Speaker 5: took him and I know that there are bomb squad
Speaker 5: and technicians and everyone took nearly three days to clear that.
Speaker 5: That's that's how intense it was, so.
Speaker 1: I didn't I can't remember this. It's not often, you know,
Speaker 1: when you and I talk, I've either missed something or
Speaker 1: can't remember. But the French Consulate in Perth was five
Speaker 1: mon party. I didn't realize that.
Speaker 5: It was made. It was an honor console. It up
Speaker 5: in West Perth. The tuturemen was coming in about two
Speaker 5: pm and about half past three in the morning my
Speaker 5: phone home phone pager went off and urgent, so I
Speaker 5: rung the headquarters duty officer and they said there's a
Speaker 5: fire bombing. I took a boy myself to go up there.
Speaker 5: I went up there and there's a couple of other
Speaker 5: agencies who we know they're there, but I can't talk
Speaker 5: about They turned up and it was we had to
Speaker 5: contact the Protective Security Center in Canber obviously the Prime
Speaker 5: Minister's office, and it was full on. And the good
Speaker 5: news is that the people who were responsible actually rang
Speaker 5: in and claimed responsibility. And they gave a fictitional name.
Speaker 5: I think it was South Pacific Action Group or some
Speaker 5: something like that. I quickly said to the head investigator
Speaker 5: as no such group. And within a matter of problems
Speaker 5: as we had them, and there were just a couple
Speaker 5: of smoking a little bit of happy wead up in
Speaker 5: Kings Park and talking about the Rainbow Warrior. They probably
Speaker 5: wouldn't have been around then anyhow, and decided to go
Speaker 5: and do that now you know, just a little insottle
Speaker 5: by that causes international ramifications. The honorary Consul was terrific.
Speaker 5: He turned up and so we had that and then
Speaker 5: tugmen and I was awake from three point thirty until
Speaker 5: nine o'clock the next morning, which you would never do
Speaker 5: now under health, safety and welfare. And yeah, and the
Speaker 5: whole team, which was only about eight of nine of us,
Speaker 5: then did that. Then had to had to contend with
Speaker 5: the people. The good news is, and I'll go back
Speaker 5: to fashion. John John alias the Pope was a very good,
Speaker 5: very at reading people, and he virtually when we're at
Speaker 5: the house in Morley, he virtually told the leaders, Look,
Speaker 5: why would you give him the satisfaction. You've got a
Speaker 5: magnificent community here, you're well respected, you've got tremendous you
Speaker 5: built freemantled in West Australia. Why would you allow yourself
Speaker 5: to be on the TV and make dickids yourself. So
Speaker 5: they did the right thing, which is really really good,
Speaker 5: and they got a lot of accolades for it, because
Speaker 5: you know, it was a really horrid, torrid time after
Speaker 5: being late from three point thirty twelve nine ten the
Speaker 5: next day. I never slept for two days. I couldn't
Speaker 5: have kept steering at the ceiling because of the stress
Speaker 5: and the yea.
Speaker 1: Such was the intensity. Parky will come back in just
Speaker 1: a moment. We saw a news reporter hit by rubber
Speaker 1: bullet yesterday in struck by a rubber bullet inadvertently, I
Speaker 1: think as part of the riots in LA will come back, Parky.
Speaker 1: I'll talk to you about that because I think I reckon.
Speaker 1: I had a fair bit to do it with some
Speaker 1: of those non lethal means that I were used and
Speaker 1: deployed by the police back in the day. Stay listening
Speaker 1: Dave Parkinson's with us. This is true Detective our fortnightly segment.
Speaker 1: We look at policing issues from the past and Parky
Speaker 1: is still with us. Hey, park have you been on
Speaker 1: I know you're also the mayor of Carlisle Heights or
Speaker 1: Mount Carlisle, whatever you call it. Been on the new
Speaker 1: train yet name.
Speaker 5: My daughter went on it yesterday. And the best thing is, Simon,
Speaker 5: you can actually move in Carlisle Heights now, You've actually
Speaker 5: got a streak that you can actually drive on. But
Speaker 5: it is absolutely tremendous. It is really, really tremendous what
Speaker 5: has been done.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, yesterday yesterday we saw one of the nine
Speaker 1: reporters in the Thicker Things in la and are struck
Speaker 1: by a rubber bullet. I'm not quite sure how to
Speaker 1: explain it either way, struck in the leg by a
Speaker 1: rubber bullet. Laurence to Mazzy, you had a bit to
Speaker 1: do with some of those non lethal options when they
Speaker 1: introduced the WA police back in the day.
Speaker 5: It was interesting, Simon, the taser, the pepper spray, the
Speaker 5: bean bag round beyond netgun, it didn't work too well.
Speaker 5: I was the project owner of when they decided to
Speaker 5: introduce pepper spray. I was called up and they said
Speaker 5: can we trial it? So my inspector Dennis Collinson from
Speaker 5: the Tactical Response Group. Dennis took control of that, but
Speaker 5: I was the project owner. The tases were very, very interesting.
Speaker 5: I left the Counter terrorsm Area State Protection, gone to
Speaker 5: Middland for a little while to sort o a little
Speaker 5: problem there, and then came back and they decided to
Speaker 5: introduce tases and test them. And I think I was
Speaker 5: a second bloke in W eight to get hit with one,
Speaker 5: and there was a lot of even I remember John
Speaker 5: Hammond and myself talking once on air, may have even
Speaker 5: been your showed they had a court case where someone
Speaker 5: had suffered pretty severely through the use of Taylor and
Speaker 5: we had a bit of a taste to tato about it,
Speaker 5: but no one had had died. And the amount of
Speaker 5: lives that have been saved in w A since we
Speaker 5: bought in the tases is quite extraordinary.
Speaker 1: Did it work on new party? I have heard you
Speaker 1: over the over the time that I've been here. Some
Speaker 1: some people tasers simply don't work on them, do they?
Speaker 5: Yes? But not often. I was dropped, mate, I went
Speaker 5: down and there's a couple of SAS soldiers with me
Speaker 5: and they went down one incident of oh yeah, I
Speaker 5: will There was a horrendous attack on a nurse in
Speaker 5: Swan District's hospital quite a few years ago and she
Speaker 5: suffered horrendous injuries and whatever. The offender that attacked her
Speaker 5: was a massive, massive, massive big man, and my guys
Speaker 5: hitt him about three or four times with the taser
Speaker 5: and I just had no effect. But very that is
Speaker 5: a rare occurrence because sometimes if you've you're heavily clad,
Speaker 5: you've got a lot of clothes on them whatever, you know,
Speaker 5: the spikes may not stick. But I look at it
Speaker 5: this way for them, and every incident was recorded with
Speaker 5: all deployed under the less than lethal option forms you
Speaker 5: have to fill out. They're just absolute, outstanding success and
Speaker 5: one of one of my greatest pride that I have.
Speaker 5: From the day I took over State Protection as a
Speaker 5: superintendent and started that off to the day I reached
Speaker 5: the day I left that area and I went back twice.
Speaker 5: No one lost their life under my watch, but we
Speaker 5: had a few shootings. I don't worry about that. I'm
Speaker 5: not getting away from that. We had quite a few
Speaker 5: shots fired and people hurt wounded. But those tasers and
Speaker 5: then the OC spray when we bought that in that
Speaker 5: was that certainly slaid a lot of people down as well.
Speaker 1: Do we still have main backgrounds and rubber bullets here
Speaker 1: in per party.
Speaker 5: I'm not sure about the rubber bullets and you know me,
Speaker 5: I won't comment on anything that I'm not sure of,
Speaker 5: but bean bag rounds they were certainly using him at
Speaker 5: one time and they are a tremendous asset to you know,
Speaker 5: you'd rather get hit with one of them than the
Speaker 5: full force of a weapon. And you know, the w
Speaker 5: a place record is just absolutely incredible over the years,
Speaker 5: you know, really yeah, second and none can considering if
Speaker 5: you go we I don't know, probably two thousands, so
Speaker 5: I think in Victoria there was a massive amount of
Speaker 5: place shootings quite actually, and you know we're very held
Speaker 5: in goodstead here with training and with that sort of
Speaker 5: bringing him in the commissioners of the day to bring
Speaker 5: in I'm ninety nine percent sure we were the first
Speaker 5: Australia to get the taser and then every other state followed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is related and talking to day Parkings and everybody.
Speaker 1: Former Superintendent Dignitary Protection detective street copy. He's done at all.
Speaker 1: This is true detective our segment. For the people who
Speaker 1: are corresponding with who haven't heard with it before. We
Speaker 1: talked to part every fortnight. We've talked to Forbid in
Speaker 1: the last couple of months, Parky, probably since April. Actually
Speaker 1: about these housing estates that are community they call community
Speaker 1: housing now they used to be homes where it's housing.
Speaker 1: Anti social behavior is something that you've been involved with before,
Speaker 1: and it's still happening. It is complicated. There are mental
Speaker 1: health issues involved, there are substance abuse issues involved, and
Speaker 1: some le galleries. I heard John Kerry talking to Ollie
Speaker 1: about it yesterday. But it's still around, Parky.
Speaker 13: It is Simon.
Speaker 5: And look, I can go right back to before I
Speaker 5: joined the job, and that was stood in November seventy five,
Speaker 5: and then out of Academy seventy six. I look at Lockridge. Now,
Speaker 5: I had families, a couple of sisters living there back
Speaker 5: probably nineteen seventy four or whatever, and I was quite
Speaker 5: horrified at the concept. Then there was Lockridge, Brownly Towers, Giruine,
Speaker 5: Clendula and whatever. And I'm going to get slaughtered for
Speaker 5: saying this, but I'm going to say it, basically, you've
Speaker 5: put a lot of people of the same ilk into
Speaker 5: these places. Now. The one in Inglewood is a classic
Speaker 5: example of putting people mentally affected, people who were drug affected,
Speaker 5: alcohol and whatever, and then amongst them you've put people
Speaker 5: who are trying to really make it and it just
Speaker 5: doesn't work. And it's well all documented about my daughter.
Speaker 5: She lived in Carlisle Heights and meth lab exploded next
Speaker 5: door and her wall was blun out and a few
Speaker 5: people charged.
Speaker 15: Well.
Speaker 5: Between her and myself, we'd made nearly over one hundred
Speaker 5: calls to his near Department of Communities on that And
Speaker 5: I remember on the morning show on six hour, I
Speaker 5: rang in and I was just bloody rapable. I had
Speaker 5: to talk to someone because I really was in a
Speaker 5: killing mood, and Troy Buzzwell. I called him out and
Speaker 5: give Buzzwell his due. He came out to our house
Speaker 5: and he said, well, what do we do? So I
Speaker 5: sat down in about five minutes flat and drew up
Speaker 5: what I thought was a good document, the three strikes
Speaker 5: policy Document and whatever. And in the next week or so,
Speaker 5: one of the media companies no Names, No Patrol and
Speaker 5: decided to go around and interview people who'd been kicked out,
Speaker 5: and you had the old scenario with the car and
Speaker 5: the two kids, and then the park, this, that and
Speaker 5: the other, and then and of course the government of
Speaker 5: the day got flogged and I got flogged, and you've
Speaker 5: got no part or whatever. But people have had a
Speaker 5: guts full. It is about choices, and my view has
Speaker 5: always been, if you choose to take drugs, choose to
Speaker 5: get pissed, choose to fight, choose to be idiots, and
Speaker 5: choose to make people's lives a horror, you don't deserve
Speaker 5: state housing. You don't deserve my taxpayer money. That I
Speaker 5: left school at fifteen, and I retired and I'm still
Speaker 5: doing a bit of work here here and now paid
Speaker 5: my taxes all my life. I get very pissed off
Speaker 5: when I see that my taxes are going to you people,
Speaker 5: because you don't deserve it.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, Parky, as you always could talk to you
Speaker 1: all day. The Alien, one of our listeners, says Parky
Speaker 1: is a great rack on tour and has experienced some
Speaker 1: pretty incredible and interesting stuff in his time. If he
Speaker 1: remains optimistic about Australia's future, then week as it can
Speaker 1: as well thanks, Hailey. We'll leave it at that. Hey Parky,
Speaker 1: it's we're going alright, I think.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well I hope so, mate. I mean if people
Speaker 5: have had enough, they'll get on there and say it.
Speaker 5: And I've always learned many many years you can only
Speaker 5: play some of the people some you and know I've
Speaker 5: got to be aware of that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's too right, Thank you mate, Thanks for the chat.
Speaker 5: Have a good nut.
Speaker 1: Thanks Simon, See you mate. Dave Parkinson true detective. He'll
Speaker 1: be back in a couple of weeks time. We are
Speaker 1: taking a poll today. Are you optimistic about Australia's future?
Speaker 1: The yeses are forty five and the nose eighty will
Speaker 1: come back in just a Moment's twenty seven and a
Speaker 1: half minutes to eleven o'clock. Hope you enjoyed that.
Speaker 16: There's been a breakdown in doun Craig this morning the
Speaker 16: Mitchell northbound of Warwick Roade. That vehicle on the right
Speaker 16: emergency lane. Make sure you proceed with caution and emergency
Speaker 16: works are proceeding in waddle up Rockingham Road, a southbound
Speaker 16: ze to road. The left lane is still closed. I'm
Speaker 16: Rob Beaver on Perth Traffic Leader six PR.
Speaker 1: Are you optimistic about Australia's future? As we sit here
Speaker 1: and look at the monitors here in our studio at
Speaker 1: six PR, the Prime Minister of Australia is addressing the
Speaker 1: National Press Club and he is outlining his plan for
Speaker 1: this term of government for his team, the labor team.
Speaker 1: So we're asking the question are you optimistic? Yes, the
Speaker 1: forty five and the NOSA eighty. Steve has texted us
Speaker 1: I'm going to say yes, even though I just paid
Speaker 1: eleven dollars fifty for a beef and gravy role in
Speaker 1: q Dale. Thanks Steve. Hard to get a salad role.
Speaker 1: Having a salad role for under ten bucks these days,
Speaker 1: isn't it. We will keep you appraised of the sewerage
Speaker 1: situation in Perth Southern Suburbs. We do have a one
Speaker 1: of our Channel nine six pur reporters looking into that today,
Speaker 1: so we'll bring you that in just the moment. Are
Speaker 1: you feeling pessimistic? There's a report forty seven percent of
Speaker 1: Australians have addressed this report so that they are pessimistic
Speaker 1: about the future. And can you turn pessimism around? Can
Speaker 1: you personally, can you turn it around? Speak to Marnie Lirishman.
Speaker 1: In just a moment on the program, Richard goodayase.
Speaker 17: Simon, Well, I'm certainly pessimistic about a linter gas. I
Speaker 17: don't know if other your listeners are aware, but I've
Speaker 17: just had notification they found seven different ways to increase charges.
Speaker 17: The supply charge has gone up, the usage charge has
Speaker 17: gone up. The account service fees have gone up from
Speaker 17: a daily charge of eight cents to twenty two cents,
Speaker 17: that's eight to twenty two cents. Overdue payments are going
Speaker 17: up from eight dollars to twelve dollars. And if you
Speaker 17: want to pay your bill over the counter at Australia Posting,
Speaker 17: they're going to charge a three dollars twenty.
Speaker 1: Well we so some of those are just just planned
Speaker 1: out overheads, fixed overheads.
Speaker 18: Yeah.
Speaker 17: And the paper well a paper bill that's going to
Speaker 17: cost you a dollar seventy five. So a lot of
Speaker 17: years ago they said our pensioners were exempt from a
Speaker 17: paperless bill charge. But it seems as if that's somehow
Speaker 17: that's crept in and they're going to charge it out.
Speaker 17: But the killer there was the account service fees going up.
Speaker 17: My eight cents to twenty two cents a day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a lot. That is a lot.
Speaker 17: I've never worked out. I've never worked out what the
Speaker 17: account service fees are. Is that an administration fee?
Speaker 1: I guess does somebody just look.
Speaker 17: At that every day? No, the bill gets spat out
Speaker 17: by the computer. So I'm going to have lost to
Speaker 17: know what that account service fee. You'd be interesting for
Speaker 17: them to say to justify one an account service fee
Speaker 17: is and why it's gone up from eight cents to
Speaker 17: twenty two cents a day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Richard, I don't know. And I think you can
Speaker 1: draw a comparison with Telstra as well, orbeit not a
Speaker 1: government utility. Telstra' fees have gone up heaps in the
Speaker 1: last five or six years, absolutely heaps. And again they're
Speaker 1: fixed overhead, so I can only assume people's wages are
Speaker 1: going up. Richard, it costs more to provide the service.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Are you a pinsioner, Richard? Do you
Speaker 1: receive concessions?
Speaker 19: Yeah?
Speaker 6: I do, Yeah, which is good.
Speaker 17: I mean, I've got no complaint about the government, the
Speaker 17: fact that the government to help us out with water
Speaker 17: and things like that, which is good. I don't understand
Speaker 17: when we get all these platitudes about the recognizing we
Speaker 17: are all doing it tough, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 17: How they can justify going from eight cents to twenty
Speaker 17: two cents today, it's incredulous.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, mate, thanks for calling in. You know
Speaker 1: I've said this before on the show. Particularly under this
Speaker 1: government this term and previous terms, they are a lot
Speaker 1: more forgiving of late payments and working out payment plans.
Speaker 1: Is no doubt about that. I know Liam, my friend
Speaker 1: and predecessor of Liam, was never happy about it. He
Speaker 1: thought that was you know, that was held as a
Speaker 1: debt on government books. I remember him doing the stories
Speaker 1: about that. But this government is more forgiving on late payments.
Speaker 1: But the administrator, I can only assume admin fees go
Speaker 1: up because of the cost of administration goes up. Salaries
Speaker 1: go up, you know, cross of cost of power, buildings,
Speaker 1: diesel or you know, everything that goes towards running running
Speaker 1: an institution has gone up over the years, hasn't it.
Speaker 1: So talks at Marty Lischman in just a moment. Can
Speaker 1: you turn pessimism around? Can you retrain yourself? You're nogging
Speaker 1: your brain to look on the bright side, Tony, Oh
Speaker 1: so hey, mate.
Speaker 20: I was.
Speaker 8: I was listening to you earlier. Earlier, Carla was talking
Speaker 8: about President tuch Man when he came here in the nineties,
Speaker 8: and it reminded me of this story. My mom was
Speaker 8: actually a MC on the event where he taught where
Speaker 8: he had this speech, you know, the in nineteen ninety five,
Speaker 8: and this was the whole this whole tension was going on,
Speaker 8: and my mom was going through the four dancers, to singers,
Speaker 8: through drama people that were there, the whole program, and
Speaker 8: at the end she forgot to announce him. At the end,
Speaker 8: he was supposed to speed. It was a full speech,
Speaker 8: and she totally for it, forgots to an ounce it.
Speaker 8: She ends the night. Everybody's looking around going, well is
Speaker 8: he gonna speak? Or what are we come here for?
Speaker 8: So you're reminded me. But he was absolutely correct about
Speaker 8: the Croatian, this generational thing with grandparents, one hundred percent.
Speaker 8: When I was in here twelve, I had a World
Speaker 8: Day speech and I said, our father's mistakes and I
Speaker 8: was in the war, by the way, so I can't
Speaker 8: speak about it. I said, our father's mistakes are not ours.
Speaker 8: And my best friends here in Perth were Serbs. Because
Speaker 8: I chose that, so I had to break the generational curse.
Speaker 1: You say that though, that ideology and that enmity does
Speaker 1: get passed from generation to generation a tony one.
Speaker 8: Hundred percent, And he just it does not only go
Speaker 8: with flaws, he goes with every community around the world,
Speaker 8: every community. Somebody has to put a stop to it.
Speaker 8: If I'm an alcoholic, why am I my son should
Speaker 8: be putting a stop to it? I said, I'm not
Speaker 8: going to be an alcoholic. But generationally goes and the
Speaker 8: cycle continues, abuses and hatreds and all these negative aspects
Speaker 8: of our generation continues. It has to stop somewhere. Yeah,
Speaker 8: thanks to somebody has to stop. Yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 8: maybe anecdotal. I just always always remember the Yeah, what
Speaker 8: happens in the home country probably really shouldn't shouldn't be
Speaker 8: brought to Australia, but it does through ideology and generational thinking.
Speaker 8: Some interesting thoughts there from Tony so new Research and mibsos.
Speaker 1: We spoke about this earlier in the program. Across the
Speaker 1: globe and particularly in Australia, forty seven percent of Australians
Speaker 1: are profoundly pessimistic, believing that the country is in decline
Speaker 1: our society is broken? Is that an individual choice? Is
Speaker 1: it something we absorb from our environment? Is it to
Speaker 1: do with what we read? Seeing here is about the
Speaker 1: chats we had with our mates? And can you and
Speaker 1: pessimism around as an individual? Moneylishman is a psychologist, joins us.
Speaker 1: Now gooday, Mary, good a, how are you going good?
Speaker 1: Thank you. I don't want to be too simplistic about this,
Speaker 1: but what would you say about attempting to move from
Speaker 1: pessimistic to optimistic?
Speaker 21: Yeah?
Speaker 22: You know, I think it is something that is a
Speaker 22: good habit to get into. But I also think when
Speaker 22: we're pessimistic, that's telling us something about our environment, isn't it?
Speaker 22: And the way the brain is perceiving what's going on
Speaker 22: in the context of our life. So if we're angry,
Speaker 22: or we're upset, or we're fearful, all those emotions do
Speaker 22: lead you to become pessimistic over time. And I think
Speaker 22: given that we're absorbing, you know, crisis after crisis in
Speaker 22: our environment, and I guess on the global scale a
Speaker 22: lot of us are absorbing that, of course we're going
Speaker 22: to feel pessimistic. But nothing good comes from us being
Speaker 22: pessimistic all the time.
Speaker 23: Doesn't it.
Speaker 22: So it is worth acknowledging what's going on, but making
Speaker 22: sure that you put the effort into train your brain
Speaker 22: to have a bit of more of a balanced perspective
Speaker 22: in life.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, my lay perspective is is I'm aware
Speaker 1: that if you do have negative thoughts on an ongoing
Speaker 1: basis and we do get them, we can have an
Speaker 1: impact on your health and it releases at least a
Speaker 1: certain hormones. What about this notion, Mary, that do worrying
Speaker 1: about things you can't control? So you know, if you
Speaker 1: watch the TV and you watch what happened was happening
Speaker 1: in la overnight, you can't really control that, but that
Speaker 1: can have an impact, I suppose.
Speaker 22: Well, exactly because we're absorbing, aren't we everything that's happening
Speaker 22: in the world. And yeah, certainly what we hear and
Speaker 22: what we're watching on the news, we're taking that in
Speaker 22: and then our brain responds to that. And again, rightly,
Speaker 22: so your brain is supposed to detect threats in the environment,
Speaker 22: But worrying does nothing unless you can do something about it.
Speaker 22: So you're always better kind of saying to yourself, is
Speaker 22: this something I can problem solve and do something about
Speaker 22: and in many cases in our own life, we can.
Speaker 22: We can action things and change things and communicate to people.
Speaker 22: But then and there's lots of things on a global
Speaker 22: scale that we can't and it doesn't serve the world,
Speaker 22: you know, for us to kind of lose hope and yeah,
Speaker 22: do nothing about it and just sit there worrying and
Speaker 22: becoming anxious. You're better off actually looking after yourself, practice
Speaker 22: self care, learning to yeah, be a little bit more optimistic,
Speaker 22: and then when you're feeling healthier mentally, then that's when
Speaker 22: you can maybe you know, get on the radio and
Speaker 22: talk to people about it, or join a lobby group
Speaker 22: or you know, join a charity, or that's when you
Speaker 22: can do something about it. But not from a place
Speaker 22: of pessimism.
Speaker 1: You know, we're getting We're running a poll today. Are
Speaker 1: you're optimistic about Australia's future? The yeses are fifteen in
Speaker 1: the noser eighty five. I'm one of the yeses. But
Speaker 1: I sort of tend to see things through my kid's
Speaker 1: eyes and that they're going all right, so that makes
Speaker 1: me happy. It is there. We got any practical tips today,
Speaker 1: MANI for people at a sort of a granular practical
Speaker 1: level about how they might be able to retrain themselves
Speaker 1: or look at things a bit differently.
Speaker 22: Yeah, yeah, well, I actually say to people, just remember
Speaker 22: that your brain is awesome and it's there protect to
Speaker 22: protect you. So it's always going to err on the
Speaker 22: side of course and make you worry about things. And
Speaker 22: we do have a negativity bias, so we're born to
Speaker 22: tune in so survival reasons to the negative. So have
Speaker 22: some self compassion for yourself first and foremost, don't judge
Speaker 22: yourself harshly if you get a bit grumpy now and again.
Speaker 22: But I say to people, you have to look for
Speaker 22: the positives and in many cases in your environment, you
Speaker 22: have to create the good things in your life. And
Speaker 22: the more you do that, and even just something like gratitude,
Speaker 22: you know, acknowledging what is good in your life and
Speaker 22: what are you truly thankful for, then you can get
Speaker 22: more of a balanced perspective of life. You know, you
Speaker 22: can acknowledge the tough stuff that's happening, but you're also going, hey,
Speaker 22: there's some awesome things going on in my life as well,
Speaker 22: and there's some really great things that are happening in
Speaker 22: the world. But you know, often we don't hear that
Speaker 22: on the news. Do we don't hear the good stuff.
Speaker 22: We hear the more the threatening things. So you can
Speaker 22: train your brain to look for the good stuff. And
Speaker 22: the more you do that, the more the good stuff
Speaker 22: seems to happen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, Marnie. Thanks for talking to me and
Speaker 1: to our listeners today. You have a good day.
Speaker 22: Thanks Simon.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Marty Lishman, psychologist. Yeah, the pessimists have the
Speaker 1: running at the moment. They are eighty five of those
Speaker 1: and the yes fifty And look, you know, some very
Speaker 1: intelligent reason responses coming on people from you know, and
Speaker 1: looking about Australia's future, about the government, about the cost
Speaker 1: of living, about housing. Kathy says, go and spend some
Speaker 1: time in the UK. You'll come back optimistic. We got
Speaker 1: back Saturday, four days in Watford. Coming back is heaven,
Speaker 1: says Kathy. Thank you another Cath, This might be the
Speaker 1: same Kathy. Twenty five dollars for playing sandwich in many places.
Speaker 1: I presume that's again a Watford reference. Thank you. Dave
Speaker 1: says I'm going to say, yes, I'm optimistic. It's only
Speaker 1: getting harder to get a feed of fish, or are
Speaker 1: you a no, Dave? It's only getting hard. How to
Speaker 1: get a feed of fish? Driver's license, boat license, trailer
Speaker 1: reggi boat reggi twenty bucks apart for four hours. Don't
Speaker 1: get me starting on the shooting. I'm assuming that's firearms.
Speaker 1: Have a good one Numeral one, Thanks Dave, look after yourself, mate,
Speaker 1: One double three two is the phone number today, Shane Simon.
Speaker 1: Are you digging up a professor to help you win
Speaker 1: your debate? Shane? I, I'm not, mate, It's just the
Speaker 1: question about is it I guess it's a question about
Speaker 1: is it a personal thing and is it how your
Speaker 1: brain functions, or you know, are people genuinely pessimistic about
Speaker 1: Australia's future. I'm not winning this debate today, Shane. It's
Speaker 1: Nosar eighty seven. The yes is a fifty one happy
Speaker 1: to happy to lose a debate, mate. It's a day
Speaker 1: where we were considering a national report and the fact
Speaker 1: that Albo is laying out his plans for the future
Speaker 1: his second term agenda at the National Press Club. Thanks
Speaker 1: for your coro, Shane. Twelve to eleven. We've got to
Speaker 1: sewage sewage overflows in somewhere southern suburbs and these are
Speaker 1: not the ways down south southern suburbs. These are near
Speaker 1: the river, some of these places places like Applecross. Elon
Speaker 1: Ardley joins us now from nine News. She has got
Speaker 1: her eye on all of this today.
Speaker 24: Evon, hey Boe, how are you going?
Speaker 1: What can you tell us today? What's the latest?
Speaker 24: So the latest is that I'm not sure if you've
Speaker 24: been up to date with what's been going on, but
Speaker 24: basically a sewer pipe sewer pipe first in beer Wood
Speaker 24: that was on Friday, and because of that, that's caused
Speaker 24: kind of mayhem in all of the all of the
Speaker 24: sewage systems. So they've had to switch off some of
Speaker 24: the pipes there and that's then caused another pipes are
Speaker 24: first in Beaconsfield, So that's where I am at the moment.
Speaker 24: At Bruges lee Rege, we're also here yesterday and basically
Speaker 24: the oval looks like a giant blud tunnel, but it's
Speaker 24: made of human waste unfortunately. So the plan was with
Speaker 24: the Watercore Operations that they wanted to fix this first
Speaker 24: pipe in Spearwood first and that was supposed to alleviate
Speaker 24: all of the other issues. We also saw overflows in
Speaker 24: a whole lot of other areas as well. Overnight and
Speaker 24: applecross and fremantle things like that. But unfortunately where the
Speaker 24: pipe burst in spear Wood, it's been quite complicated and
Speaker 24: they haven't been able to mend it the way they
Speaker 24: normally would, so they've actually had to fabricate an entire
Speaker 24: new pipe and they're having trouble installing that. So I imagine
Speaker 24: we might still see some issues for the next few
Speaker 24: days until they can completely resolve this. At the moment
Speaker 24: that they're hoping to fix it by tomorrow, but time
Speaker 24: to sell.
Speaker 1: So I heard Ollie talk about this yesterday Evon and
Speaker 1: Bruce Lee Oval. I hope one of our listeners who
Speaker 1: lives near they've had to move house does and they
Speaker 1: were putting sand on it. I think, does it smell
Speaker 1: where you are?
Speaker 24: It doesn't smell at the moment, And to be honest,
Speaker 24: Bruce Lely, Reserved isn't the stinkiest of places we've visited.
Speaker 24: It definitely does smell, and I definitely feel for the
Speaker 24: residence now. But the one that was probably the stinkiest
Speaker 24: was one of the ponds quite close to the spear
Speaker 24: would burst, so a number of the ponds in the
Speaker 24: area had the sewage overflow into those ponds, and really
Speaker 24: the water therea is just sitting there stagnant, and their
Speaker 24: houses right you know, right there on the water, really
Speaker 24: close to it, and it just stinks. By the end
Speaker 24: of yesterday, even the back of my throat was burning
Speaker 24: from being out there all day. So I can't even
Speaker 24: imagine what it must be like living there and trying
Speaker 24: to sleep at night. You know, some residents were saying
Speaker 24: they couldn't even sleep at night because the stench was
Speaker 24: just so horrible.
Speaker 1: What's the water corporation saying today?
Speaker 24: They have owned this. I think they are responding quite well.
Speaker 24: They have apologized, and they've said, you know, they understand
Speaker 24: this is a really awful thing for people to be experiencing.
Speaker 24: They have stressed this is an extremely rare event. These
Speaker 24: sorts of things don't happen very often, and just unfortunately
Speaker 24: this has been a perfect out of bad circumstances with
Speaker 24: you know, where this pipe burst, in the fact it's
Speaker 24: been so difficult to try and fix it. Yeah, extremely apologetic,
Speaker 24: but I'm sure that probably doesn't mean much to a
Speaker 24: lot of the people that are affected.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, well, we'll look for your stories Asavo Yvonne.
Speaker 1: If anything else you can read myself or Oli about
Speaker 1: later in the day. Please do let our let our
Speaker 1: listeners know if you if you hear any new developments.
Speaker 1: But thanks, I hope you're yeah, I hope the throat's okay,
Speaker 1: and I hope you get a nicer job sometime.
Speaker 24: Soon, hopefully tomorrow. Thanks Bowie, Thank you.
Speaker 1: Yvonne Aardley from nine News. Not really good enough, is it? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I heard Oli talking to the water court guy yesterday.
Speaker 1: He said like a really nice guy, Ernest well meaning yeah,
Speaker 1: so Beaconsfield Spear would And now there have been other
Speaker 1: leaks in apple Cross, parts of freoh and through those areas.
Speaker 1: If you if you've seen or heard anything, please let
Speaker 1: us know one double three A two. Of course a
Speaker 1: lot of people are at work, kids are at school, but
Speaker 1: if you're in an area, if you're working from home,
Speaker 1: or if you're in an area affected by the sewage leaks,
Speaker 1: please let us know one double three A two. Thanks
Speaker 1: for listening in I'm Simon Beamont three and a half
Speaker 1: minutes to eleven now, yeah, thanks listening. Today. We'll try
Speaker 1: and stay ahead or on top of the issue down
Speaker 1: in the southern sobers Beaconsfield, Frio, Apple Christ added out
Speaker 1: on the like Spearwood with the sewage leaks we jolly
Speaker 1: covered on the show yesterday. Thanks for your correspondence. Graham
Speaker 1: did a Graham Bateman. It's great the six PR Channel
Speaker 1: nine on the job reporters. It's good in that Graham
Speaker 1: smashing in. It will come back after eleven o'clock. A
Speaker 1: pharmacist would would you be okay with calling your pharmacist
Speaker 1: a doctor if they've got a master's day, isn't it? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Thanks listening in. It's seven and a half minutes past
Speaker 1: eleven o'clock. I'm Simon Beaumont coming up in this next hour.
Speaker 1: The if you're a pharmcist and you have a master's,
Speaker 1: you're now could be allowed to call you seal a doctor.
Speaker 1: Wonder if that impacts on my friend Andrew ed down
Speaker 1: it blooms the chemist and KG I think she's got
Speaker 1: a master's. I think so, how do you feel about
Speaker 1: that calling your pharmacist a doctor because they have a master's.
Speaker 1: We'll look at that. And there are a number of
Speaker 1: space agencies in the US that still use Windows ninety
Speaker 1: five and the floppy disc Remember those they were absolute
Speaker 1: go tos, weren't they Windows ninety five and the floppy
Speaker 1: disc We all had those little containers on our desks
Speaker 1: in our home office full of floppy disks. He's still
Speaker 1: have stuff on a floppy disc. I'd love to hear
Speaker 1: from you today. One double three E two is the
Speaker 1: phone number. We'll talk to Trevor long TREEV is in
Speaker 1: the US at the moment, but he's going to talk
Speaker 1: to us about all that. We're going to borrow him
Speaker 1: from OLLI just for the purposes of today. So you
Speaker 1: do you have some old computer kit? Do you still
Speaker 1: use Windows ninety five? Do you still use the floppy discs?
Speaker 1: One point four four mega bytes? I think to me,
Speaker 1: weren't they pt four fourth?
Speaker 23: Is there right?
Speaker 1: All of them? That's right? Megabyte? I believe it was megabytes? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, thank you mate. Well done, Jimmy the genius
Speaker 1: on our keys today. One double three A eighty two
Speaker 1: is the is the phone number. We're asking the question
Speaker 1: are you optimistic or pessimistic about Australia's future? The yes
Speaker 1: is are optimistic and the nose are pessimistic. Yes, says Veronica,
Speaker 1: Thank you Veronica, No, says Peter, and Alan rays a
Speaker 1: really good point about the Water Corporation and home insurance
Speaker 1: house insurance. Alan says, who's going to pay for all
Speaker 1: this mess to houses? I heard the water water cork
Speaker 1: guy I say the other day claim on your house
Speaker 1: insurance and Alan Ray is a really good point. I know.
Speaker 1: I certainly wouldn't use my insurance. I'd be using the
Speaker 1: water corporations. It's their stuff up. That's a very good point, Alan,
Speaker 1: and Steve from Golden Bay is unhappy about our approach
Speaker 1: to pessimism and approach to the water corporations stuff ups.
Speaker 1: Obviously you do not understand the complexit, even underground into
Speaker 1: connected system. Ignorance is briss bliss until it affects you.
Speaker 1: It's what effects wrong, Steve. Maintenance can only reduce downtime,
Speaker 1: not eliminate it. You talk about pessimism and contribute to
Speaker 1: it by not promoting logic or reality, Steve from Golden Bay.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how I'm contributing to pessimism by talking
Speaker 1: about a sewage leak, Steve, but thanks for your correspondence.
Speaker 1: Luis says, seems like the water Corporation needs to issue
Speaker 1: paddles to the good burgers of Beaconsfield and the Southern suburbs.
Speaker 1: Doesn't sound great, Lou does It does not sound great, Sandy,
Speaker 1: very pessimistic. Every Australia should be very concerned for the future.
Speaker 1: We are fast heating down the track of socialism and control.
Speaker 1: And Sandy's in Waruna. Sandy, if you're in Waruna, you
Speaker 1: should be happy and not optimistic. I reckon, but thanks
Speaker 1: for your thoughts. Phil's phone in today. Phil, there you
Speaker 1: go on.
Speaker 13: Simonte calling up in regards to your previous caller about
Speaker 13: the gas charges in regards to a sixty percent plus
Speaker 13: increase to pay your bill at the post office, taking
Speaker 13: the two dollars, charging the pensioners two dollars for their
Speaker 13: paper bill and the obscene one hundred and eighty percent
Speaker 13: plus daily service charge. I think what your listeners want
Speaker 13: is for you to ring these people up and take
Speaker 13: them to task and justify it instead of just saying
Speaker 13: our wages have increased and stuff like that has and
Speaker 13: what their current profit margin is and what they're predicted
Speaker 13: profit margin needs to be. Obscene charges.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, we'll do mate. I take your point.
Speaker 1: What we charges go up because of admin charges go up,
Speaker 1: That was my point. So you know it costs more
Speaker 1: and more to run these institutions, but we can probably
Speaker 1: ask the question, particularly in regards to pensioners. Mate, thank
Speaker 1: you for your call today, Phil, could they.
Speaker 21: Charles, good morning, Simon. Look, I just wanted to bring
Speaker 21: attention to your listeners. In April of this year, I
Speaker 21: was given a parking infringement by a company called PMS.
Speaker 21: It's Traffic monitoring Services. Now these people are based based
Speaker 21: in Queensland and New South Wales. Now, as I understand it,
Speaker 21: no infringement companies or finance enforcement agencies outside of this
Speaker 21: state can they shoe parking fines? Okay? I looked up
Speaker 21: the legislation and also I looked up the Consumer Protection Acts.
Speaker 21: It states there that no agency outside of the original
Speaker 21: states you are in can they shue traffic infringement finds.
Speaker 21: So what I did was I wrote them a letter
Speaker 21: disusing this fine, and I said I'll give you a
Speaker 21: couple of weeks to respond to me or you would
Speaker 21: draw this fine. Never heard from them again, Simon, and
Speaker 21: I believe this has been going on for quite a while.
Speaker 21: People should question this company when they're issuing these infringement
Speaker 21: finds and challenge them.
Speaker 1: And Charles, where was the fine was? It on private property.
Speaker 1: Was it in the shopping center car park?
Speaker 21: It was in the shopping complex sort of like a
Speaker 21: fitness center and a chemist warehouse and the doctor surgery
Speaker 21: there somewhere around there. Even if these people hired these
Speaker 21: people outside, it is illegal.
Speaker 14: They have to hire.
Speaker 21: People from within the state to monitor the fine infringement.
Speaker 1: So you haven't heard it back and you haven't had
Speaker 1: to pay the fine. How much was the fine?
Speaker 21: Seventy seven dollars?
Speaker 1: All right, so you've overstayed and you haven't heard back,
Speaker 1: so you're going to pay the fine.
Speaker 21: No, never heard from them again? Never? Yeah, okay, So
Speaker 21: I suggest any listeners who are listening to your program,
Speaker 21: the company is TMS Traffic Monitoring Services. They have a base.
Speaker 21: They are based in Queensland and New South Wales only
Speaker 21: not in Western Australia.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, well I'll tell you what Charles. Thank
Speaker 1: you mate, thanks for letting us know. I appreciate the call.
Speaker 1: We'll bring our man Andrew Marouchick right now, sorry, Nick
Speaker 1: marroucheck right now and see what Nick says, because that
Speaker 1: may will be the case. You can't be issued to
Speaker 1: find from a company that is not domiciled in w
Speaker 1: a can I Scotty.
Speaker 11: Simon, how are you mate?
Speaker 1: Good?
Speaker 25: Thank you, that's good, that's good. Very optimistic yep, to.
Speaker 26: Send a texture.
Speaker 12: But the guys that wrong me up.
Speaker 26: They want when you hear my accent.
Speaker 12: On on the radio.
Speaker 26: I don't know if you can still hear it.
Speaker 17: Be here for forty years.
Speaker 1: No, it's still there, mate.
Speaker 26: Yeah yeah, tell my cousins that.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So they're so you're optimistic because of where you've
Speaker 1: come from and what you're seeing here and enjoy is
Speaker 1: that right?
Speaker 17: Absolutely?
Speaker 26: Mat, It's a great life over here. I've been back
Speaker 26: to Scotland a few times and it's just beautiful place.
Speaker 8: But just so sad.
Speaker 27: It's just just you, mate.
Speaker 26: Are still doing the same thing they were doing forty
Speaker 26: years ago. They just they go to the shops and
Speaker 26: they buy seven meals so they've got a meal every night.
Speaker 1: And oh mate, yeah yeah, that's not about point. The
Speaker 1: fresh produce and the food's pretty good over here, isn't it. Mate.
Speaker 1: That's yeah.
Speaker 26: I mean I don't get into the side of things,
Speaker 26: but you know, just this place as a wholes no
Speaker 26: better place, mate.
Speaker 1: Thanks mate, Thanks for your call. Thanks Scotty. Scotty from
Speaker 1: Scottland from Scotland fourteen parcel. Then we might need to
Speaker 1: take a break, Sean, and we'll come back. We'll talk
Speaker 1: to Andrew from the he's the president of the w
Speaker 1: A branch of the Pharmacy Guild of Australia. Up against
Speaker 1: the clock a little bit here and you stay there, mate,
Speaker 1: get to you in just a moment. If you are
Speaker 1: a pharmacist with a master's degree, there's a push out
Speaker 1: of Charles Darwin University that you get called a doctor.
Speaker 1: Stay listening. We all need a good pharmacist in our life.
Speaker 1: It's part of your healthcare, your personal and your family
Speaker 1: healthcare system. You need a doctor if you're obviously, if
Speaker 1: you're seriously ill or injuredced to go to a hospital
Speaker 1: or an ED or whatever. But a good farmacst in
Speaker 1: your life, pharmacist in your life is essential. I reckon.
Speaker 1: Andrew naw is the president of the w A branch
Speaker 1: the Pharmacy Guild of Australia. Diet I Andrew, okay, Simon,
Speaker 1: how's it going going very very well now? Andrew Charles
Speaker 1: Dale UNI says it's leading in a nation. Masters of
Speaker 1: pharmacy graduates can we called a doctor? Can we can
Speaker 1: we do that over here? Are you happy to do that?
Speaker 5: Yees.
Speaker 25: So the announcement was made by the Federal government last November.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 25: So, based on the Australian Qualifications Framework, any university delivering
Speaker 25: a Level nine master's degree in pharmacy, all their graduates
Speaker 25: will be able will be able to use the title
Speaker 25: of doctor.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, What does that mean for you? For Andrew aired.
Speaker 5: For me?
Speaker 25: Because I haven't done that yet. You need to do
Speaker 25: that or would have to do that, but we'll have
Speaker 25: to fill in the gap in the degree in the
Speaker 25: master's degree place. I've only got a bachelor's degree, so
Speaker 25: I'd have to do the level nine master's course.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, and do you need that? Does the masters
Speaker 1: need to come out of Charles Darwin? Could you get
Speaker 1: a master's here in w A.
Speaker 25: Not at this very second, but all all the universities
Speaker 25: are working with the AQF as to what are the
Speaker 25: requirements around that degree yep, so that they can actually
Speaker 25: offer that course.
Speaker 1: Yeah okay, So what do you I mean pharmacists, You know,
Speaker 1: that's a that's a tough qualification. I know talking to
Speaker 1: you and Andrew and other pharmacists, you do do refresher
Speaker 1: courses and update and upgrade your professional calls as you go.
Speaker 1: Do you think farmacists will take this up?
Speaker 25: Yeah, so the demand is actually hard to tell, but generally,
Speaker 25: the anecdotal feed that we've had from a lot of
Speaker 25: people is that they're really excited by this. It's finally
Speaker 25: the recognition that I think farms have actually well, I
Speaker 25: think they're finally getting the recognition that they deserve for
Speaker 25: the place that they hold within the broader healthcare framework.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, yeah, as you know, I've long been a supporter,
Speaker 1: and that's it's important to have a good pharmacist in
Speaker 1: your life, is it your small business owners as well
Speaker 1: as well as been you know, as well as having
Speaker 1: the Quarrells and perhaps running a little team of people
Speaker 1: and all of that. Will it come down to an
Speaker 1: individual decision, do you think, Andrew?
Speaker 27: So?
Speaker 25: I think to the future, the base degree will basically
Speaker 25: have a doctorate title attached for so, I think the
Speaker 25: base degree will end up being a Level nine Masters.
Speaker 25: But there will obviously be a lot of people like
Speaker 25: myself who do need to do the let's say that
Speaker 25: the retrofitting based on their base degree.
Speaker 1: Yeah, completely understand, Andrew. Thank you for having a chat
Speaker 1: to us today. Good on, thanks you time. Thanks Simon
Speaker 1: good Andrew Niaw the president of the w A branch
Speaker 1: of the Pharmacy Guild of Australia. Whatever can listeners, there
Speaker 1: will be there will be pharmacists who do have a
Speaker 1: master's and they can be called because their little name
Speaker 1: on there. Now they have those little lanyard, the little
Speaker 1: plat what do they call badges, They sorry have those
Speaker 1: badges on the uniforms. Have a doctor and the might
Speaker 1: have doctor on the on their title on the on
Speaker 1: the thing on the wall, pharmacist in residence. You know
Speaker 1: when you go to different pharmacies and they have a
Speaker 1: different person in each day. They could be a doctor.
Speaker 1: Some people get become honorary doctors, don't they. I think
Speaker 1: I believe Andrew Forrest. I believe Twiggy has a qualification.
Speaker 1: He's a doctor. Karl Khushinishki has one. I think Richard
Speaker 1: Wally is a doctor and that's I think that's an
Speaker 1: academic qualification. God Richard, if you're listening, Kathy Freeman, I
Speaker 1: think has A is a doctor. I'm not sure if
Speaker 1: that's honorary or that's academic. Happy to hear from you
Speaker 1: today twenty two minutes past eleven, Chris says, I know
Speaker 1: people who are certified engineers. They don't deserve to be
Speaker 1: called engineers. Why would I call a pharmacist a doctor, Chris,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean the legislation has changed. The
Speaker 1: federal legislation has changed, mate, so I'd love to hear
Speaker 1: from it. Glenn says, a pressure knuckling the sewer pipe
Speaker 1: caused an explosive backflow in our former house. It completely
Speaker 1: flooded with human waste in and out up to our ankles.
Speaker 1: That's JACKI Glenn. That happened was also our first home open.
Speaker 1: We were selling. Watercourt pulled us up in the Broadwater Hotel,
Speaker 1: so obviously this is in Bustleton replaced all doors, floor coverings,
Speaker 1: painted the walls, and steam cleaned the house. When we
Speaker 1: sold the following month, someone comented that our front and
Speaker 1: back dlowns are extremely green and the fittings all look new.
Speaker 1: They wanted to know what fertilizer I use. I just smiled,
Speaker 1: says Glenn. Thank you, Glenn, appreciate that one double one
Speaker 1: double three eight two mentioned this before and ask the
Speaker 1: question do you still in your computing, your IT kit,
Speaker 1: your IT ecosystem. Do you still use floppy disks and
Speaker 1: or Windows ninety five? There are institutions in the States
Speaker 1: aviations that still use old kit. Trevor Long joins us.
Speaker 1: We borrowed him from OLI just for the date. Hi,
Speaker 1: trev good mate. How you doing going? Very well? Where
Speaker 1: are you?
Speaker 28: I'm in Cupertino, California, at Apple's headquarters for event this week.
Speaker 1: Very nice? Well, I won't still OLI stun because, no
Speaker 1: doubt he want to chat to you about that. But
Speaker 1: do you still wreck? Do you think? Do you see
Speaker 1: people still using floppy disk?
Speaker 28: Trev No, you don't because it's always behind the scenes.
Speaker 28: So it's either a nerd like me who has a
Speaker 28: computer from the old days that he wants to play
Speaker 28: some game that's literally only for that computer and only
Speaker 28: on that floppy disc. Or it's an institution an organization
Speaker 28: with a system that is so ingrained in what they
Speaker 28: do that it's simply never been replicated in modern systems,
Speaker 28: and or the cost to move on to a modern
Speaker 28: system would be phenomenal and never made it past any
Speaker 28: business case, And.
Speaker 1: That would be the same as Windows ninety five.
Speaker 28: Would it spot on you know the thing about Windows
Speaker 28: ninety five, right, people will go and look. Windows ten
Speaker 28: I think goes out of support at the end of
Speaker 28: this year, which means that Microsoft won't support it as
Speaker 28: an operating system, and even after that, at some point
Speaker 28: it'll be to the point where they won't even make
Speaker 28: security updates. But here's the thing about Windows ninety five.
Speaker 28: Even though it was an online operating system. The systems
Speaker 28: that specifically here the FAA are using for air traffic control,
Speaker 28: they're not on the Internet. They're just computers. They just
Speaker 28: needed computers that could do a task, that task being
Speaker 28: you know, print out on a dot matrix printer a
Speaker 28: flight plan or a particular plane. They're not connected and
Speaker 28: so they're actually quite safe and therefore secure. So the
Speaker 28: cost of replacing a system like that would be enormous,
Speaker 28: and you can imagine that managers at different levels over
Speaker 28: many decades have gone, Nah, we're not spending that billions
Speaker 28: of dollars, and as a consequence, we're left with cys
Speaker 28: that are absolutely out of date and hard to now
Speaker 28: maintain and fix.
Speaker 1: I know my dad who use a lot of photo programs,
Speaker 1: trev and he was always frustrated that he just couldn't
Speaker 1: you know, we just couldn't use the same one year
Speaker 1: after year after year. So his generation wanted a computer
Speaker 1: to work in the same way forever.
Speaker 28: And with no change. Like, I get calls so often
Speaker 28: from people, whether it's on Oli show, on my podcast wherever,
Speaker 28: that they're frustrated by the way something changed. You know,
Speaker 28: software changes every year now and that like that's what
Speaker 28: Apple's doing this week. It's people don't like change. They
Speaker 28: don't love change. And when you've got processes that especially
Speaker 28: running aviation, running air traffic control, you don't want to
Speaker 28: have to educate every single person on a change in
Speaker 28: the way the software works essentially overnight. So stick with
Speaker 28: something that works. And that's why people do hold onto
Speaker 28: their Windows computers. There will be people listening who have

Speaker 1: Yeah, So, Joe, when was your last trip?
Speaker 29: About four months ago to beautiful Vietnam and Cambodia, which
Speaker 29: was absolutely stunning. We did the Mekon Cruise on one
Speaker 29: of the new ships with only about eighty eight guests,
Speaker 29: so it was gorgeous see the big cities of Saigon.
Speaker 29: The direct flight was amazing as well, going from Perth
Speaker 29: stright into Hope him In and then doing the river
Speaker 29: cruise ending up in seam Reap which is absolutely fabulous,
Speaker 29: and then flying out back sailing back to Perth, back
Speaker 29: to work and back to reality.
Speaker 1: How long, Joe was that We actually.
Speaker 29: Did a seven night river crew. We did a few
Speaker 29: nights also in Hoyan, which is just a beautiful, beautiful
Speaker 29: city in central Vietnam, and also three nights in cm
Speaker 29: Reap as well.
Speaker 1: Really popular Vietnam. My kids have been and my mates
Speaker 1: go once every couple of years. That's really boomy, isn't it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 30: It's one of the biggest popular most places in Asia
Speaker 30: at the moment, especially now we've got two airlines find
Speaker 30: there directly.
Speaker 1: Why's that day? So why is Vietnam so big?
Speaker 30: I don't know, It's just I think someone people want new,
Speaker 30: they want different from Bali, all things like that. So
Speaker 30: it and it's got great culture, great food, history, It's
Speaker 30: got everything. Great beaches.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, what vessel on the Mekong were you on, Joe.
Speaker 29: We're on the Mekong Serenity, which is one of the
Speaker 29: new APT ships. Absolutely gorgeous, fabulous food, so kind of
Speaker 29: forget the diets. It had that beautiful fusion of Asian
Speaker 29: and Western sort of cuisine. All the drinks, all the
Speaker 29: cocktails included a beautiful pool on the sun deck as well.
Speaker 29: But I love the fact we owned to the little
Speaker 29: villages and saw that sort of the country way of
Speaker 29: life in Cambodi especially and seeing how those people live,
Speaker 29: and it was just a great cultural experience for us,
Speaker 29: as well as the cities of Vietnam as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, just a reminder, you can say two hundred
Speaker 1: fift dollars per person if you bought Big t and
Speaker 1: Travel and Clamont Cruise and Travel CECT book within the
Speaker 1: week and it's tours or cruise of seven days or longer.
Speaker 1: And the great thing about you, guys, and we mentioned
Speaker 1: this time and time again, it's the it's the experience.
Speaker 1: It's customizing things for people. It's just a one stop
Speaker 1: shop for everything you need, your visas, working out little
Speaker 1: variations on your travel plans exactly.
Speaker 30: Yeah, so we know Australians don't ever just go for
Speaker 30: a seven day trip, so we can customize everything from
Speaker 30: hotels to car hire, trains everything.
Speaker 1: Yeah all right, yeah, no worries, Well done, you've always
Speaker 1: done it so well. Big can travel as personally and
Speaker 1: travel agency and as I said, customize luxury travel and
Speaker 1: cruise holidays. So the team down there will always look
Speaker 1: after you. Twenty five years yeah, twenty six I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: how long have you work therefore?
Speaker 30: Coming up to fourteen years now?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 1: A young man first?
Speaker 31: I do it?
Speaker 30: Yeah, can you see me? Agent?
Speaker 1: Not really? I reckon you're going okay, So you Joe,
Speaker 1: if you like to ring in, you can one double
Speaker 1: three eight two talk to me about the new APT
Speaker 1: vessels Joe and what's on offer in Europe at the moment.
Speaker 29: Yeah, we're excited. We actually launched the Salara, which is
Speaker 29: basically bring a new dawn for river cruising into the
Speaker 29: Australian marketplace on the twenty fifth of April, and what
Speaker 29: we actually did was reimagined how river cruising should be
Speaker 29: for the Australian passengers. So we really change it up
Speaker 29: because quite often most of our passengers do the amps
Speaker 29: Pest and they do basically this fantastic fifteen night cruise,
Speaker 29: but they do forty one meals on board the ship.
Speaker 29: Quite often the river cruise companies, as Dave said, you know,
Speaker 29: we actually find that people won't from Australia to a
Speaker 29: seven night cruise. We do the fifteen day so you
Speaker 29: have so many meals on board. We find that it's
Speaker 29: important to have choice, and most of the river cruise
Speaker 29: companies offer two or three restaurants. We've actual You're born
Speaker 29: in six as well as you know, less guests as well,
Speaker 29: sixty staff, one hundred and fifty four guests on board
Speaker 29: and our new restaurant which is Fabulus. I think you
Speaker 29: need to go on board, Simon, but it's called the
Speaker 29: groooner bar and it's actually a world first as well,
Speaker 29: and that's internationally. And what it is is actually a
Speaker 29: bar on hydraulic lifts that goes to the sun deck.
Speaker 29: So what happens is your clients go on board, they
Speaker 29: have a beautiful maybe cocktail, enjoy the sunset over the
Speaker 29: you know, the Rhyan River, and then go on basically
Speaker 29: back to the Gruner Bar and have three hundred and
Speaker 29: sixty good views of the beautiful waterlands and all of
Speaker 29: the attractions around Europe and enjoy fantastic meal as well
Speaker 29: with their fellow guests. So six different restaurants. On top
Speaker 29: of that, we've also got in room dining as well
Speaker 29: as standard E bike's on board spas. We've got the gymnasium,
Speaker 29: and we've got all of the entertainment. We've got fitness classes,
Speaker 29: the whole lot for the Australian guests. So we're really
Speaker 29: excited about the new ships.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well E Bikes as well. That's the voice of
Speaker 1: Joe Ellie's folks. She's from ap T, state sales manager
Speaker 1: for US South Australian Inte. And if you want to
Speaker 1: call the guys, you can one double three eight to
Speaker 1: eighty two marx Is a few years ago. But I
Speaker 1: did a cruise from I'm gonna mispronounce this, I reckon
Speaker 1: Joe cem reaped a ho Chi minh you about you?
Speaker 32: Yes?
Speaker 1: Absolutely, yeah, yeah, incredibly popular.
Speaker 30: Yeah it is. It's one of the really popular river cruisers.
Speaker 30: The absolutely stunning because you get to see a bit
Speaker 30: of everything absolute and like with apt everything's included so
Speaker 30: you don't have to You've got no bill at the
Speaker 30: end of the day of the yeah, and you get
Speaker 30: to say stunning highlights and history and all sorts.
Speaker 1: Dave and Joe. When we first started doing Big Can
Speaker 1: Travel segments on this show years and years ago, it
Speaker 1: was about packing once and unpacking once, just having to
Speaker 1: do it once and that that's what people love. But
Speaker 1: also this this notion of hopping off when you wanted
Speaker 1: to going to have a stroll on Terror Firm or
Speaker 1: if you want a tour, staying on the vessel. That's
Speaker 1: that's still very much an Australian thing to do, isn't
Speaker 1: it that choice? Day by day?
Speaker 30: Yeah, definitely, Like there's nothing stopping you, so like you
Speaker 30: can do all the tools that are include, or you
Speaker 30: can wander around the town or get on the e
Speaker 30: bikes yourself if you want to go. If the ship's
Speaker 30: there later at night, go have dinner off the ship
Speaker 30: as well. So's there's plenty of flexibility to be able
Speaker 30: to do anything you want.
Speaker 1: Really like the sound that bar Joe in the Garunava
Speaker 1: how good one level three eight eighty two a river
Speaker 1: cruise with apt what's this point of difference, Joe, I think.
Speaker 29: The fact that we are an Australian company. We actually
Speaker 29: got Hicica Gruthri, which is based out of the East
Speaker 29: Coast to design the ships, so it's actually designed for
Speaker 29: the Australian passenger and that's what we do for all
Speaker 29: of our products, whereas a lot of the companies now
Speaker 29: internationally based so they're really focus on other tastes. But
Speaker 29: I find traveling with like minded individuals is really good.
Speaker 29: It's nice to catch up with people as well, and
Speaker 29: I just find it's just a it's a beautiful product,
Speaker 29: but it's also got that Australian relaxed ease on board
Speaker 29: as well, the fact that we're fully inclusive the flat,
Speaker 29: we don't charge tipping. Everyone hates tipping. We don't know
Speaker 29: how to do it in our culture. So it's like
Speaker 29: we don't do that, we make it a really beautiful experience,
Speaker 29: be able to be have a great experience. I guess
Speaker 29: there a platform to do as much as they want
Speaker 29: to do, as Dave said, or as little as they
Speaker 29: want as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so really easy, well explained. If like's ring and
Speaker 1: you can one double three eight E two, have a
Speaker 1: chat to Joe Elis from APT or Dave Armstrong from
Speaker 1: Victim Travel and just you remind he can save two
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty dollars per person for a bigden or
Speaker 1: CCT travel. It's got to be a seven day or
Speaker 1: longer tour or cruise. Just mentioned six pr when you
Speaker 1: ring in and two hundred and fifty dollars a head
Speaker 1: can be taken off the bill. So that's the idea
Speaker 1: of the e bikes is use them on land. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so like I race around the ship on them, No.
Speaker 30: They've got the dim for that. But yeah, you can
Speaker 30: take them around that. They give you a little guides
Speaker 30: or give you maps on every town that you're in
Speaker 30: and basically you can take off or you can do
Speaker 30: your own thing and follow the guide and stop at
Speaker 30: a pub if you wanted to, or right along the
Speaker 30: vineyards as well, Like, that's a few obstions that you
Speaker 30: can do.
Speaker 29: I think there's a stretch about thirty k's between Milk
Speaker 29: and Durnstein which has got heaps of wineries between and
Speaker 29: some guests I'm going to grab an e bike and
Speaker 29: off they go, and we have a guide at the back.
Speaker 29: Because people do stop at the breweries, they stop at
Speaker 29: the wineries, AND's like we've got to keep going to
Speaker 29: meet the ship at the other end. They really enjoy
Speaker 29: it too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how good is that? It's great if the vessel
Speaker 1: keeps going and you catch up with it.
Speaker 29: Correct. They give us away from the top deck. Generally
Speaker 29: the people that say I'm going to stay on board
Speaker 29: and enjoy lunch, and we often just cruise around and
Speaker 29: find a brewery and have maybe a kranski and a
Speaker 29: beer or whatever, and then continue on that journey.
Speaker 1: Fantastic if you want to find in any of your
Speaker 1: travel questions anything you like folks one, double three, add two,
Speaker 1: hab a chat Todave. He's very very user friendly and helpful,
Speaker 1: as is Joe. Anything you like, anything, any tour itinery
Speaker 1: you may be considering around the world. Will come back.
Speaker 1: We'll talk more with a cruising with Joe and Dave
Speaker 1: in just a moment a big Can Travel segment today
Speaker 1: if you'd like to speak to Joe Ellie's the veteran
Speaker 1: of APT and of the WA travel industry. And Dave
Speaker 1: Armstrong's here from Victim as well. Who's he's not a veteran,
Speaker 1: He's a stalt, that's what he is. It one level three,
Speaker 1: add two, save two and fifty bucks per person for
Speaker 1: Bigon Travel and Claimont Cruise and Travel. So it needs
Speaker 1: to be a tour of cruise of seven days all long.
Speaker 1: I just mentioned six bur and you ring bigten or
Speaker 1: CCT to the consultant and.
Speaker 30: Ready and waiting for you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how good to fifty off? Hien, how are you?
Speaker 4: I'm well, thanks Simon, I'm John Dave listen. I've got
Speaker 4: a question. I've been looking at the river cruisers in
Speaker 4: Europe roughly around Christmas time, possibly around Christmas time for
Speaker 4: the markets.
Speaker 13: How do these river.
Speaker 4: Cruisers accommodate somebody with a mobility issue that uses a
Speaker 4: four will walker because some of the itineraries have got
Speaker 4: a lot of walking tours or guides or bits and
Speaker 4: purses in them, So how does that shape up? And
Speaker 4: also the accommodation on the.
Speaker 29: Boat for sure, great question.
Speaker 20: Ian.
Speaker 29: We certainly get quite a few clients who have mobility issues,
Speaker 29: and what we find that the challenges is, I think
Speaker 29: mainly in the tw because it is a lot of
Speaker 29: the towns are absolutely beautiful, but they couplestone streets. So
Speaker 29: what we often do is speak to the guest beforehand,
Speaker 29: make sure that it is what they can physically manage,
Speaker 29: as well as us have the cruise director on board,
Speaker 29: have a conversation with the group as well of a
Speaker 29: couple and really give them an understanding of what's ahead
Speaker 29: and if they want to maybe stay on board, if
Speaker 29: they want to just go to somewhere close and do
Speaker 29: some people watching watch the world go by, or if
Speaker 29: they want to actually go on the tour if it
Speaker 29: is a long distance. Quite often we do have a
Speaker 29: coach and we'll be able to put that four wheeler
Speaker 29: underneath the coach to make things easier, but the cobblestones
Speaker 29: can be quite challenging for any sort of mobility aid.
Speaker 29: The other thing that we have to stress as well
Speaker 29: is the actual porta throw do provide the ramps as well,
Speaker 29: so we can't guarantee we always request a wheelchair ramp,
Speaker 29: but they won't guarantee they'll provide it. So that's a
Speaker 29: challenge across all river cruising unfortunately. But it's as long
Speaker 29: as you can walk that game plank. That's probably the
Speaker 29: most important thing you've got to remember. But if you
Speaker 29: want to have a chat with me at Bigton Travel,
Speaker 29: you're welcome to call and we can discuss it more
Speaker 29: and more details.
Speaker 8: Okay, then, thank you very much.
Speaker 4: You've asked my question.
Speaker 1: Jeez, thank you, Thanks you, Corleen, thank you. Good lucky day, Allen.
Speaker 1: Good ay, how are you yeah going well mate?
Speaker 20: Yeah, Look, my query is the premium for single travelers.
Speaker 20: What's been done, particularly for cruising to provide more access
Speaker 20: for single people traveling without the sort of single premium.
Speaker 20: I've just recently moved into a lifestyle village and just
Speaker 20: talking to the other residents, the number of people that
Speaker 20: would travel more or would like to travel, but the
Speaker 20: single premium is what kills them. It just seems that
Speaker 20: they cutting out a lot of potential travelers.
Speaker 29: Absolutely. I think we hear that feedback quite a bit, Ellen,
Speaker 29: So thank you, thank you for calling. We do have
Speaker 29: a single Traveler club which quite often we do have
Speaker 29: some great single deals available, so I'd recommend probably giving
Speaker 29: Bigden Traveler call that can sign you up to the newsletter.
Speaker 29: Quite often these maybe you know, three, four, five months
Speaker 29: in advance, but at least they are a really good
Speaker 29: deal and quite often have no single supplement attached to those.
Speaker 29: So there is definitely some great offers. There's probably just
Speaker 29: accessing them and having a chat to bigd and Travel
Speaker 29: or Claimant Cruise and Travel to make sure you're on
Speaker 29: that list.
Speaker 30: Also on larger cruise ships on the more the ocean
Speaker 30: ships that are now building dedicated single cabins, even on
Speaker 30: some river ships now they're starting to pop up, so
Speaker 30: they're a bit of a smaller cabin but perfect for
Speaker 30: one person and they don't really attract any kind of
Speaker 30: surcharge on the middle.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I remember it's changing a few years ago. Didn't that
Speaker 1: there's a big move towards single travel. Ye, definitely, and
Speaker 1: maybe sign up for one of the one of the
Speaker 1: clubs what's according in Joe.
Speaker 29: Are the Solo Traveler Club.
Speaker 1: Solo Travel Club. Have a look at that.
Speaker 21: OL.
Speaker 1: Good to hear from you, mate, Thank you hi Brad.
Speaker 1: How are you Brad? We got you?
Speaker 21: Hey?
Speaker 18: J Bowie, how are you?
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Brad, where are you today? What are you driving?
Speaker 1: Where are you going?
Speaker 18: Full of my road train on my Marvel road.
Speaker 1: Well, the middle of nowhere.
Speaker 18: That's the story of Okay, that's middle yet, go on.
Speaker 33: Okay, So.
Speaker 18: Your guests you have in there looking at traveling the
Speaker 18: Meat Kong on a river cruise just after what time
Speaker 18: of year? And probably you know which are the lines
Speaker 18: to look for and the ones to steer away from.
Speaker 8: Well, the one is a lot of experience.
Speaker 18: Well, yeah, I assume that, sorry, and.
Speaker 1: I can I can go out. I can vouch for
Speaker 1: Brad's character and personnality. He'd be he'd be good.
Speaker 29: Traveler, absolutely, Brad. I think there's a couple of choices
Speaker 29: if if you get a chance when you're when you're
Speaker 29: one of the truck stops, have a look on the
Speaker 29: other a p touring dot com dot au or travel
Speaker 29: Marvel dot com dot au. And they don't have all
Speaker 29: these really great deals, especially with we're just talking in
Speaker 29: the break actually about Vietnam and Cambodian how much great
Speaker 29: value it is. The accommodation is incredible and it's really
Speaker 29: well priced. So if you look at a product like
Speaker 29: travel marb which is sort of three and a half
Speaker 29: to four star. You're going to get excellent service, really
Speaker 29: really good value as well. So look at both brands.
Speaker 29: Bicton have got the discount on top of the market
Speaker 29: office that we've got on there and they can quote
Speaker 29: it up for you. But I'd probably look at sort
Speaker 29: of going properly between that November December, January, February March.
Speaker 29: I'm not sure if you'd say the same thing.
Speaker 30: Would probably say the same thing, yeah, because after that
Speaker 30: you start get the wet season come through and you
Speaker 30: get really humid and sticky and absolutely perfect time to travel.
Speaker 1: How's that, Brad?
Speaker 18: Yeah, March is out on the year. We go every
Speaker 18: year in March we go somewhere for our anniversary, so
Speaker 18: that's perfect.
Speaker 29: Let us know it's your anniversary as well. Make sure
Speaker 29: we make a bit of a fuss for you as well.
Speaker 29: On the day.
Speaker 18: You'll save my wife, would you make it fast anyway?
Speaker 18: She's amazing.
Speaker 1: I love it a little something for everyone from me today.
Speaker 1: Hey mate, drive carefully, Brad Hay, Yeah, well take care.
Speaker 1: So Brad's on the Marble Bar Road, which for years
Speaker 1: and years was an unsealed road and it's now sealed,
Speaker 1: So that's I think marble bars three hundred caves from
Speaker 1: human and another gone's two cased for humans, so that
Speaker 1: is really right in the middle of the pilbro there.
Speaker 1: There's there's some are bodies around, but yeah, bra Brad's
Speaker 1: one of our listeners. And once once he's on your list, Joe,
Speaker 1: you'll never get rid of it.
Speaker 29: You'll be great ambassador in the outback.
Speaker 1: He'll be an ambassador two and fifty brothers per person
Speaker 1: for Bigton Travel and claimont Cruz for travel book within
Speaker 1: the week, so within that, you know, over the next
Speaker 1: seven days needs to be a seven day cruise or longer.
Speaker 1: You're a big rap for this meek On thing, having
Speaker 1: done it four months ago, aren't you.
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 28: Love it.
Speaker 29: I've actually done it a couple of times. I loved
Speaker 29: it so much I said to my partner we've got
Speaker 29: to go back and do it out of work. So
Speaker 29: he loved it, and then we did the hoy Ron
Speaker 29: stop as well. But I just love the people. I
Speaker 29: think they're just so welcoming right product, it's got fantastic
Speaker 29: food and great service and an amazing price as well,
Speaker 29: so it's really got everything and it's so handy from birth.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Dave Armstrong's with us as well. That's the voice
Speaker 1: of Joe Ellis. You can hear from apt Dave. Anything
Speaker 1: that's taking off at the moment that you know, we've
Speaker 1: talked about Vietnam, but anything else that's flying along.
Speaker 30: Japan is always a big one at the moment because
Speaker 30: we're coming up to probably starting of the ski season.
Speaker 30: Kind of bookings. Canada's going absolutely nice, yeah, which is
Speaker 30: really surprising. Yeah, and of course Europe is always popular,
Speaker 30: but more we've seen more Scandinavia and things like that,
Speaker 30: which is great. So in Iceland and that kind of
Speaker 30: place as well.
Speaker 1: So I know it's Japan taking off ten or fifteen
Speaker 1: years ago, and it is people skiing, isn't it. So
Speaker 1: some of my Surfy mates during the winter go ahead
Speaker 1: up there too.
Speaker 30: There's more Australians and Japanese. I'm pretty sure in some
Speaker 30: of the locations.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hadn't listened to the station yesterday. She might
Speaker 1: have run Milsey. I think she had a big birthday
Speaker 1: coming up. She was taking the whole family to Japan.
Speaker 1: So what are people doing in Canada? They're skiing as well.
Speaker 30: No more like tours like especially like with jos Has
Speaker 30: apt has great tours through there, but Rocky Mountain now
Speaker 30: cruising through the inside passage. Oh yeah, all that kind
Speaker 30: of thing as well. So yeah, yeah, lots of that.
Speaker 30: But skin is well, we don't do so much skin
Speaker 30: in Canada as much.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, and Joe anything that's as well. It
Speaker 1: took me on we talked this new vessel that you have,
Speaker 1: the Selara, but the apt Or Stars coming within the
Speaker 1: month as well, isn't it?
Speaker 29: Absolutely so? The sister ship of the Solara. So we're
Speaker 29: going to have obviously the same situation with a six
Speaker 29: different experience as far as dining. Only one hundred and
Speaker 29: fifty four guests, so we're gonna have two beautiful new
Speaker 29: ships and you're really setting a new standard for the
Speaker 29: cruising market in Europe for sure. We've had actually a
Speaker 29: lot of inquiry for New Zealand talking about skiing and
Speaker 29: they've just had a huge amount of snow, so I
Speaker 29: hopefully have a really great ski season in New Zealand.
Speaker 29: But we've certainly just released a few more products as
Speaker 29: well into New Zealand. There's some great tours as well
Speaker 29: with rail and touring, so.
Speaker 1: The Solara was launched on twenty fifth of April, so
Speaker 1: you know, a month or a month and a bit ago,
Speaker 1: and the stars saw the yes. So both of these
Speaker 1: and where are people mainly flying? Two?
Speaker 29: They tend to go Amsterdam to Budapest and they add
Speaker 29: on a Paris and Prague stop. Quite often we have
Speaker 29: found people, as Dave said, are doing you know, three
Speaker 29: four weeks in Europe. So they may combine may be
Speaker 29: a magnificent Europe cruise with Bordapest with maybe Croatia Cruise
Speaker 29: which is absolutely stunning beautiful to swim through there and enjoy,
Speaker 29: or just do a little bit more like a villa stay,
Speaker 29: those sort of things. So you can really combine Bichten
Speaker 29: and La Cruz and Travel who really specialized in putting
Speaker 29: that together making it really seamless.

Speaker 1: it and use the expertise. If what's the best number

Speaker 1: the release of the movie Jaws coming up later this month.
Speaker 1: So if you're of my age, you remember probably reading
Speaker 1: the book at school, Peter Bentley's book Jaws, which had
Speaker 1: a couple of subplots and a bit of romance and
Speaker 1: a bit of this and that and the other in it,
Speaker 1: a couple of adult themes. And then the movie came
Speaker 1: out and it was huge, wasn't it? And it changed
Speaker 1: the way a lot of us, those of us who
Speaker 1: are ocean going at the time, and still changed the
Speaker 1: way we thought about sharks. But it's probably one of
Speaker 1: those movies that scarred, could scar or did scar people
Speaker 1: for life. Certainly scarred me. It was a horror movie ultimately,
Speaker 1: and the shark was a monster. So we're asking the
Speaker 1: question today movies that have scarred you for life? Here's
Speaker 1: some of what we heard in Jaws.
Speaker 5: You've had a need a pick a page.
Speaker 1: So that was the first time they saw the giant
Speaker 1: fingo pass I think it was thirty feet whatever it was,
Speaker 1: it's that ten meter shark. And then of course the
Speaker 1: famous William score, the theme song Chase that became the
Speaker 1: sound of the Shark, didn't it. That was the Noise
Speaker 1: of the Shark and has been for fifty years. I reckon.
Speaker 1: So movies that may have scarred you for life? One
Speaker 1: double three ad two Love to hear from you Today.
Speaker 1: You may win Caller of the Day, which is a
Speaker 1: couple of tickets to go to State of Origin next

Speaker 1: my mate Steve, Steve Adams. We caught the bus and

Speaker 12: staying here and think singing in the rain.
Speaker 5: They get their visions of the going.
Speaker 12: Left and right, and I think if you know the scene,
Speaker 12: you'll know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, very really violent, wasn't it very violent?
Speaker 12: Then? Also with umbrellas and that sort of thing and
Speaker 12: sort of the old white sort of safety suits. Then

Speaker 12: it was when we were showing it, and yeah, amount
Speaker 12: of people are actually driving out of the drivings was
Speaker 12: quite amazing. Couldn't handle it.
Speaker 1: So, I mean, Clockwork, Clockwork Orange is rated R. I
Speaker 1: think Jaws was mature. I don't think it was even.
Speaker 12: Sure, Yeah it was. I think it's sixteen plus eighteen
Speaker 12: plus back then.

Speaker 1: scene with the head and anyway, it's yeah, it's a
Speaker 1: monster film. Thanks ol. Clockwork Orange, Yeah, are hyperviolent. I

Speaker 1: plays that character Torrance. I think Jack Torrance from Memory
Speaker 1: and he's got a super twist at the end of it.
Speaker 1: And it's yeh's a cracking film. Lots of lots of
Speaker 1: malevolence and human dysfunction in the shining Thank you, Dave.

Speaker 1: And she was its long way from Gidget exactly.
Speaker 32: She played a woman who had associative identity disorder. We
Speaker 32: used to call it multiple personalities. She only felt safe
Speaker 32: when she was sitting in her analyst's big chair. Anyway,
Speaker 32: the movie I decided to take my girlfriend to go
Speaker 32: and see that in seventy eight because it was a
Speaker 32: TV movie in America. It came out in the cinemas
Speaker 32: in Australia in seventy eight, and it was at Uni.
Speaker 32: It was an electure theater, theater at Uni. I think
Speaker 32: it was probably the middle of summer. It was a
Speaker 32: bit warm, it's a bit smelly.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 32: And there's a scene at the end of the movie
Speaker 32: where you see what Sybil's mum allegedly did to her
Speaker 32: on the kitchen table. Yeah right, Never going to see

Speaker 1: that today. Let's do this. Sheer market stronger today after
Speaker 1: a three day break? Are we clear? Joins us right
Speaker 1: now from Shaw and Partners today, Aree, what can you
Speaker 1: tell us?
Speaker 14: Hello, Simon? What It's been a three day break for
Speaker 14: the share market and I think it was an eight
Speaker 14: day break for me, and I'm very pleased to report
Speaker 14: to celebrate my return. The share market is a fair
Speaker 14: bit stronger today, which is a pretty amazing effort given
Speaker 14: all of those horrible images of rioting on the streets
Speaker 14: of Los Angeles over the weekend. Nevertheless, all of the
Speaker 14: major banks here have improved today, and the resource companies
Speaker 14: are stronger as well. The spotlight or price is hovering
Speaker 14: around ninety four dollars fifty a ton. The goal price
Speaker 14: is at three three hundred and twenty six US dollars.
Speaker 14: Announce Shares in the big data center company next to
Speaker 14: DC have rallied today. They've been expanding their business in
Speaker 14: Malaysia with a new data center they're building in kl
Speaker 14: to go live early next year next. DC shares are
Speaker 14: up nearly six and a half percent at fourteen dollars
Speaker 14: and one. The regulator ASSEIC have announced some plans today
Speaker 14: to make it a little bit easier for companies to
Speaker 14: list on the ASX. Listings have hit a new low
Speaker 14: not seen since before the pandemic, and they're wanting to
Speaker 14: rectify that situation. The next big company to float on
Speaker 14: the local share market will be the airline Virgin Australia.
Speaker 14: Their prospectives came out on Friday last week, so hopefully
Speaker 14: that will be a success and lead to more companies floating.
Speaker 14: Virgin are expected to start trading in two weeks time,
Speaker 14: on Tuesday, the twenty fourth of June. And there's been
Speaker 14: some very bad news from a listed IVF company called Monash.
Speaker 14: They have mistakenly transferred the wrong embryo into a patient.
Speaker 14: It's the second time it's happened in two months and
Speaker 14: the Monish IVF share price has tumbled today. They've got
Speaker 14: twenty three clinics in Australia, four in WA. The shares
Speaker 14: have dropped twenty five percent today down to fifty six cents.
Speaker 14: Before April, which was before the first of these incidents happened,
Speaker 14: they were worth over a dollar a share. So that's
Speaker 14: in a real state of disarray at the moment. But
Speaker 14: the broader market has continued in its recovery from an
Speaker 14: all time high set in February of eight hundred and eighty.
Speaker 14: We fell over fifteen percent by April, but our June
Speaker 14: and the markets back to eight eight hundred and three,
Speaker 14: up sixty two points today.
Speaker 1: Simon, all right, oh you well done mate. Well I
Speaker 1: look forward to chatting to you tomorrow. Thanks so much.
Speaker 1: Yez O Nclair from a short end partners. Yeah, Monash
Speaker 1: in Troubler game. We spoke about this a month ago
Speaker 1: and they've done it a game, it would seem allegedly.
Speaker 1: Jason from Alfred Cove says Bowie was Jaws for me,
Speaker 1: and then I saw Piranha and Orca that I had
Speaker 1: to go to school swimming lessons at Couji Beach. It
Speaker 1: used to be close from time to time because the
Speaker 1: Shark's siding has been close to Rob's. JEDDI wow ee, Jason,
Speaker 1: no doubt this one here, this one here from Mike
Speaker 1: and I Mike a nineteen eighties movie called Saturn three
Speaker 1: Kirk Douglas, Harvey, Kai Tel and Farah Fawcett five or
Speaker 1: six years of age when I saw it, robot in
Speaker 1: space kills and takes over his mind. It's our rated three.
Speaker 1: Thank you mate, Thank you. Mike one double three, aged
Speaker 1: eighty two. Have you already taken part in the end
Speaker 1: of financial year?
Speaker 5: Sal So?
Speaker 1: The big sales landmarks in our currndar year have traditionally
Speaker 1: been Boxing Day and the Black Friday sales, which have
Speaker 1: really emerged, particularly in the electronics market. But the end
Speaker 1: of financial year, sal So, I reckon eight point one
Speaker 1: million of US Australians will planned to shopping in the
Speaker 1: and EO FY sales and we could be spending over
Speaker 1: two thousand bucks each. Chris Jacob joins us now from Finder. Hello, Chris, hey, Barry,
Speaker 1: thanks having me, Yeah you too, thanks for chatting to us.
Speaker 1: Are you are you going to be part of the
Speaker 1: eight million? I reckon I might have a little look
Speaker 1: at this one.
Speaker 42: Yeah, I've already snapped up a bunch of stuff. Actually,
Speaker 42: I recently moved house, so we had a few things
Speaker 42: we needed and I saved about forty percent which wasn't bad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Yeah, that's good, isn't it. It is becoming,
Speaker 1: you know, it's really emerged, hasn't it. And I guess
Speaker 1: there's reasons for it. You know, big retailers whatever, they
Speaker 1: are trying to offload stock as they go into the
Speaker 1: new financi a year. Can you legitimately get a sale?
Speaker 42: Chris, Absolutely. I think it's it's a bit of a
Speaker 42: black horse and a financial year's sales. Like we tend
Speaker 42: to think of Boxing Day and Black Friday as the
Speaker 42: big sales events, but I think and the financial year
Speaker 42: is equally as good in terms of the discounts you
Speaker 42: can get.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, it's across the board.
Speaker 31: I know.
Speaker 1: And our producer here is.
Speaker 28: Too.
Speaker 1: She's got to work couple of websites that she follows,
Speaker 1: and a lot of them can be around around clothing,
Speaker 1: women's clothing, women's accessories, but it does include electronic goods,
Speaker 1: home and living, family and lifestyle fashion that you can
Speaker 1: get it. You can get a bit of a bargain anywhere.
Speaker 42: That's That's exactly right. It's pretty much like every single
Speaker 42: retailer imaginable is jumping on the bandwagon. Like even things
Speaker 42: like utilities like you can save on your energy bill
Speaker 42: or your phone plan. You can get up to fifty
Speaker 42: percent off at the moment. So there's some really great
Speaker 42: bargains around and it's not just electronics like it.
Speaker 37: Is to be.
Speaker 1: And are we presenting to the bricks and mortar store, Chris,
Speaker 1: or going online? What are we doing?
Speaker 23: Well?
Speaker 42: I think you should definitely start online, just because it's
Speaker 42: a lot easier to compare the prices between different stores.
Speaker 42: And obviously there's a lot more variety as well. If
Speaker 42: you're looking online, well at the brick and moltor stores,
Speaker 42: you're like kind of like, it's just what they have
Speaker 42: in stores, what you can buy.
Speaker 13: So I would start online.
Speaker 42: And if you don't see what you want, then it
Speaker 42: might be worth just ducking around to your local Westfield
Speaker 42: or whatever it might be.
Speaker 1: And I genuine in the absence of knowing, Chris, I
Speaker 1: genuinely don't know this. It's on now through to the
Speaker 1: in the financial year. Is it is it one day,
Speaker 1: two days or can you go in there?
Speaker 42: Every year it seems to go longer and longer, So
Speaker 42: I think the sales a lot of them actually started
Speaker 42: in May and they'll keep going through right up till
Speaker 42: thirtieth of June, and some of them will even go
Speaker 42: beyond that, so you might be still be able to
Speaker 42: get some deals in July as well.
