Jamie Burnett talking to Christina the Copper 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:25.240 about the e scooters, the rideables and the operation over 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:27.039 the weekend, and we have done a lot on that 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:30.880 topic on this show. That it does sound like the 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:34.840 police do not want the rideable high scooters, the horrible 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:37.039 E writers back. They don't want them back in the 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:39.920 city of Perth or in Vincent. That's the very clear 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:43.679 message I heard from from the Assistant commissioner. They're not 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:47.200 coming back, and they have they have quite some say so. Yes, 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:50.320 they did pick them up and they see some scooters, 0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:52.400 but it sounds like the cops do not want e 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:55.880 rideable high scooters back in the city. That's what I 0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:57.720 heard over the weekend. I reckon one double three eight 0:01:57.720 --> 0:01:59.760 eighty two.

Our standard living political stability and 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:23.159 diversity of many of the positives. I suggest that many 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:27.040 don't appreciate what we have sins. Ashley Martin says, I've 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:29.840 been here twenty years now and sadly Australia has declined 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:32.880 that there is much more divide amongst people.

Well, listens. 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:45.280 Around about one million people have viewed the Giants down 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:47.280 a Mandra since they've been open, and they are own 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:52.880 an incredibly popular tourism attraction for internationals, nationals and local tourists. 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:57.080 They are amazing Thomas Dambo's giants down through down through Mandra. 0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:58.760 And we've heard a little whisper that one of them 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:03.320 has had suffer an attack, an insect attack, a termite attack. 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:06.560 And joining us now is Caroline Knight, the mayor of 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:08.400 the city of Manager. Hi, Caroline, thank you for talking 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:08.720 to us. 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:11.800 Oh good morning, signmon lovely to be here with you. 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:14.040 Can we confirm that we've got some terminite action on 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:14.880 the secret giant. 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:18.840 Look, we can look unfortunately did this hit her. Our 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:22.120 much loved Lake Clifton giant is legless at the moment, 0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:26.920 and I know that sounds terrible, but look, it's actually 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:31.160 a lovely story of community partnership that we have down here. 0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:34.440 But with the city of Manager working with our local 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:40.079 mentioned group who conduct fortnightly checks in on our giants 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:42.400 to see how they're going. And obviously, as the listeners, 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:46.640 with no recycled wood out in our bush land, he 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:49.800 is always under attack from white ants. And unfortunately, two 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:54.360 weeks ago they identified that she had some termites in 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:57.760 her feet, which a little bit, a little bit. 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:02.880 Sad, it's unsurprising. I mean, it's recycled wood, it's soft wood, 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:05.760 it's something that a term might would be keen on. 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:10.080 I reckon absolutely, I'd say they would be loving that. 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:12.959 But look, the men Shed were fantastic in identifying that. 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:17.000 And so she's had her legs removed and she is 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:19.600 closed at the moment, but we will have her back 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:23.720 back in time for school holidays in about two weeks times, 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:26.200 and the men Shed are helping with that work. So, 0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:28.240 you know, really lovely to have that partnership. 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:30.240 Yeah, that's good, well done to them, and I know. 0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:33.400 I think she was booked in for a SPA treatment 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:35.520 about a month ago, but she has been closed for 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:39.480 longer than expected. So how long until she's got her 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:40.760 legs back and he's back in action. 0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:45.959 We're hoping two weeks, so by school holidays is the plan. 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:50.160 We're just giving her a really good pedicure. She's going 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:52.720 to look beautiful when she's back there and be ready 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:56.400 to welcome. And as you know she's been have all 0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:59.480 been so incredibly popular with community. I think in the 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:01.800 first year we I think it's about over eighty six 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:05.360 thousand visitors from outside the region in just the first 0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:05.960 year alone. 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:09.520 Yeah, that is they are fantastic. I think I read 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:12.800 somewhere that maybe twenty twenty six, somehow or other, the 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:16.400 schedule winds up. What does that actually mean? Do they 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:19.160 get removed or do you are they handed over to you? 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:20.600 What happens in twenty six. 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:24.719 Well, Thomas, so the life expectancy is about three to 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:28.040 five years. And Thomas Danbo is very much of the 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:31.920 view that they were made of recycled material and nature 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:34.640 will take its course and you know, they will decay, 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:37.400 and so you know, when we're doing maintenance to keep 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:38.880 them going for as long as we can, but when 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:41.960 they get to a point where they're no longer structurally found, 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:42.319 we'll have. 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:42.920 To remove them. 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:44.440 Yeah, okay, so they do. 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:47.000 We're trying to keep that because they are so popular, 0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:47.600 Oh of course. 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:50.040 Yeah. Yeah, And I know there's a big volunteer sort 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:52.520 of construction team that have been involved right from the start. 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:55.720 And when that one was vandalized and burned, I know 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:59.360 everyone was all hands to the wheel. So what will 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:02.520 you do? Will you try and maintain them yourselves? There 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:05.839 are an amazing attraction. What will you do if they 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:07.079 do start to fall apart? 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:12.280 Yeah, the city has an ongoing maintenance plan and you 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:14.760 know we're doing that all the time, just keeping them 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:17.360 going as long as we can. But obviously, you know, 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:20.160 when they do reach end of life, which was Thomas 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:26.200 Dambo's desire, they will be no more. So that's you know, 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:28.880 we'll keep that going for as long as we can. 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:30.120 And that's why that. 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:32.720 Partnership with the Menship is so so lovely, that the 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:34.320 fact that they go out there every two weeks and 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:36.600 check out and so we can treat things like turn nights. 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:40.679 Yeah, any concern for any of the other giants Caroline. 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:41.880 Noel. 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:44.079 I think that the men shared are out there fortnightly, 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:47.120 so they're checking regularly, so you know, we are alerted 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:48.839 early and that's the most important. 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:51.040 Thing part of the appeal of this. And Danbo himself 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:53.719 is a recycler and a forager. We all know that. 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:57.000 We will know that about him. Can you change the 0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.320 type of wood you use? Because I spoke to one 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:01.200 of my carbon to makes about this and he said 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:03.440 that type of wood is ice cream for termites. 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:08.560 Yes, I know it's too much. Look, that was that 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:12.360 was Thomas Dambo's desire. I mean, he's the artist. Obviously 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:15.120 he's aware of that. Are these guiants, he does have 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:19.200 them across across the world. You know, he chose to 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:23.040 use that because it was discarded, recycled good, knowing full 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:25.679 well that they are vulnerable, and you know, there's an 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:28.280 incredible amount of time that goes into building them and 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:31.280 just random fact, I think it's over seven hundred and fifty. 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:33.360 Hours to make each one, yep, yep. 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:38.160 But you know he chooses to use recycled material and 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:38.960 we have to respect that. 0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:42.000 Yeah, So they do have a shelf life. That's that's 0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:44.400 part of the Thomas Dambo deal, isn't it. Thank you 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:46.760 for talking to us today, Thank you for confirming and 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:49.520 good luck. Hopefully she's back up and running and a 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:50.320 viewable soon. 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:53.240 Thank you, Simon Lovely to stop here. 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:55.960 The mayor of the City of Mandra, Caroline Night there 0:12:56.000 --> 0:13:01.280 confirming that the Secret Giants has termites and well spotted 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:04.200 by the men shed and look that I hadn't thought 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:06.960 about that. That's news to me. Maybe I've completely missed that. 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:09.720 But though the Mandra Giants after twenty twenty six will 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:14.600 be no more, so get down and see them even 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:17.319 during the winter months. I don't know how to pronounce 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:21.480 this giant's name. I think it's I'm not it's the 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:26.280 Secret Giant. It's the Lake Clifton Giant. But yeah, she's 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:28.040 got termites and it's been out of action since I 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:31.560 think early May or mid May. So that's that is 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:33.160 the case. And as sands to reason, doesn't it that 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:38.679 these these giants do use recycled palette wood, would from palettes, 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:42.520 so they would be they would be vulnerable to termite action? 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:45.040 But did you know that? And what do you reckon? 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:47.760 The City of Mandra and the state should try to 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:49.800 get some more or should they try and maintain them, 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:52.560 maybe change the type of wood. And I'm just thinking 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:54.200 on the Flyhea, because I had no ideas. That are 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:57.240 no idea that after twenty twenty six the mantra giants 0:13:57.280 --> 0:14:00.160 will be no more. That was Thomas Dambo's plant. He's 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:04.720 a forager, he's a recycler. He uses recycled wood. One 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:07.880 double three eight eighty two. I'll get back to our 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:11.840 poll in just a moment. Are you optimistic about Australia's future? Sadly, 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:14.360 and this does reflect the national poll today the nose 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:19.080 of twenty five and the yes is a twenty that's 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:20.680 a great shame. I will get thanks you for sending 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:22.800 in your correspondence. I will read out as much of 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:25.440 it as I can. I do appreciate it. THEO Evans 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:29.200 is an associate professor, he's an applied entomologist. At Uwa 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:31.440 joins us now to talk about termites. 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:34.320 Good a theo ah, good morning, sitement. 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:37.120 Good to talk to you. So this type of wood 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:40.160 would be very attractive for the manager termite community, I 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:40.920 would imagine. 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:45.120 So I'm not one hundred percent sure of the wood species. 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:46.000 Is it pine? 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:47.920 I think it's recycled pine. 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:54.400 I think yes, so it's very few pines have evolved 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:59.760 resistance to terminio attacks because most pines is growing in cold, 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:04.480 wet climates, so there's no urmit I think called wet climates, 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:09.080 so the trees didn't evolve resistance to termid attack. We 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:13.280 grow mostly radiator pine in the southern parts of Australia 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:18.560 and that is actually a warmer pine, but from the 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:25.200 Caribbean originally, and there's a few different subspecies in different 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:28.880 places in the Atlantic, and those islands actually had very 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:31.040 few turmits on them as well, so it's the same deal. 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:33.479 It's very low natural resistance. 0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:35.200 And these. 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:40.640 Giants which I saw not long after the exhibition opened, 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:44.920 and that's fantastic. Everyone should go see them. That particular 0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:50.560 one is placed in a forest. Us is highter, I 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:53.440 think is how you say the name and is a 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:58.360 name and heighter means hut or cavern, and so it's 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:03.080 in forest which is stilled with termites, so there would 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:05.640 be a lot of termites around and it would only 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:07.480 just be a matter of time till they find the wood, 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:12.400 and because there's no resistance, it would be eaten quite happily. 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:14.720 It is highter a lot that theo thank you things 0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:18.160 for helping us out there, and would they be would 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:21.080 the termites in that forest where she is, would they 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:23.840 be more active in the cooler months or you're saying 0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:24.680 the summer months, are you? 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:26.520 Yes? 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:30.200 So they rely on like all insects, they rely on 0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:35.200 the weather, the temperature around them. They're not cold blooded creatures. 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:38.800 They can generate heat in their own nest when there's 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:40.960 lots of them all together, but when they leave the 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:44.160 nest and go foraging, they rely on the external temperatures 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:48.040 and so it's cold, they get cold. They can't move 0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:50.480 very much. So you tend to get a peak in 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:55.000 urmide activity through the warmer months and are much lower 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:59.720 to almost none in the colder months. They come late 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:03.920 jam Henary into February into March, when the southwest of 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:09.880 Wa gets very dry. Then actual activity decreases a lot 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:13.600 as well, because termites need water, and as the soil 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:17.000 drives out, they tend to stay home a lot more 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:20.800 because they will actually harm themselves because I lose too 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:23.240 much water in the environment. So a bit of a 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:27.320 drop off in the late summer, but still activity levels. 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:30.120 Are pretty high well, and a number of questions coming 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:32.280 through from our listeners on our talk back line on 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:35.919 our text line for you is and it's news to 0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:37.720 me that the giants might not be around in twenty 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:41.360 twenty seven. I didn't know that. I hope we can 0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:44.040 do something. Is it possible to use another type of 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:47.639 wood that will be more resistant to termites? I mean 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:49.480 the city of Mandre will probably have to strike a 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:53.159 deal with the artists I suspect the original sculptor. But 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:56.440 is there a wood that's preferable where you can make 0:17:56.840 --> 0:17:57.840 installations like that? 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:05.040 So you can use hardwoods that come from areas where 0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:08.240 there's a lot of termite activity, So famously in Australia, 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:12.199 in Southwest Australia, there's jarra which has higher levels of 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:17.240 termite resistance, but even more one do and turret has 0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:21.600 higher levels of resistance than jarra. But there's a variety 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:25.960 of tropical hardwoods that could be used. But there's another 0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:30.200 issue that comes along, and that's wood rot fungus. So 0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:33.959 most people have heard about wood rot fungi. They can 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:36.399 get into your houses. So any wood that gets in 0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:39.360 contact with the ground can absorb water from the ground 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:45.159 and that means it's now vulnerable to wood rot fungal attack, 0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:49.919 and there's no wood that can resist wood rot fungus forever. 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:53.560 It's only a matter of time, and once the fungus 0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:58.719 gets in, it actually makes the wood more palatable. 0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:00.360 For the termites. 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:05.280 The first issue perfect still going to be how to 0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:08.720 stop the moisture, and then once you can do that, 0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:10.960 then you can go on to think about how you 0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:11.879 stop the termites up. 0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:15.720 All right, as you say, probably not unexpected down there 0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:20.040 in the Lake Clifton forest that she has been has 0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:22.800 been a target. But yeah, Nanca, so I didn't I 0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:25.400 didn't realize they were you know, they had a shelf 0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:28.840 life the comprehensive. Thank you for talking to us at 0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:29.720 six PR. Good on you. 0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:32.119 It's my please assignment. Have a good day. 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:35.159 Yeah you too, Associate Professor Theo Evans. I've got a 0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:37.359 mate who is buying a house at the moment, and 0:19:37.640 --> 0:19:39.720 still you know you have to get a termini inspection. 0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:43.760 It's still it's part of our it's part of our vernacular, 0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:46.560 it's part of our lifestyle, it's part of our construction industry. 0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:49.760 You still need to get a termite inspection before you 0:19:49.760 --> 0:19:52.280 buy a house, right, so it is all part of it. 0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:55.760 Wonderuble three eight two. Yeah, happy to talk to about 0:19:55.760 --> 0:19:58.560 white ants and termites if you like. They do live 0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:01.000 in the forest and they've eaten the legs off one 0:20:01.000 --> 0:20:03.800 of the giants down in mandra It's we kind of 0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:06.320 have to live with them, don't we. If you're if 0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:09.160 you're aware of a high profile structure that's been attacked 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:11.919 by termite, So if that's happened in your home, or 0:20:12.119 --> 0:20:14.040 you know, if you've got a termine story, let us 0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:16.520 know one double three eight eighty two yes, no question. 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:19.119 Are you optimistic about Australia's future? Then yes are twenty 0:20:19.119 --> 0:20:21.720 one and the nose of thirty seven. The nose are 0:20:21.800 --> 0:20:24.520 thirty seven. I'll come back to some of your responses 0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:27.679 as the show goes on. Yeah, thanks for your thoughts today. 0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:30.600 Are you optimistic about Australia's future? There's some research out 0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:33.479 overnight that suggests forty seven percent of us are not 0:20:34.200 --> 0:20:38.600 Albo Anthony Alberinezi. The PM is giving an address to 0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:41.639 the National Press Club later today. The yes is are 0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:43.680 twenty one of the question is are you optimistic about 0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:45.680 Australia's future? That yes is are twenty one, the nos 0:20:45.680 --> 0:20:48.680 are thirty seven. Jim get A, Jim definitely, Yes, is 0:20:48.680 --> 0:20:50.960 the best country in the world. Pessimists should pull their 0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:53.439 heads out of the sand, look around and realize how 0:20:53.480 --> 0:20:56.720 they're good. We've got it too many entitled people here, 0:20:57.440 --> 0:21:01.640 David says. Country in decline, crime and lawlessness, ethnic hatred, 0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:05.400 loss of social cohesion, poor leadership, political lies, government debt 0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:09.600 and overspending defense force is pathetic, no productivity, renewables fraud, 0:21:09.680 --> 0:21:12.960 continues David. That is that is a big issue. Isn't 0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:16.359 the renewables issue? The net zero transition? We just returned 0:21:16.359 --> 0:21:19.720 the worst government despite all this we did David through preferences. Admittedly, 0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:23.080 John says Simon, wouldn't they spray them every couple of 0:21:23.080 --> 0:21:27.400 months for the termites? Thanks John. Steve says Huon Pine 0:21:27.680 --> 0:21:30.359 h Uo n Huon Pine from Tasmania. The last two 0:21:30.400 --> 0:21:33.280 thousand years below and above ground is full of natural oils. 0:21:34.320 --> 0:21:37.000 And Brad says the giant needs sneakers made from urmi mesh. 0:21:38.800 --> 0:21:41.399 Thanks Brad. Dan says it's a yes from me. What 0:21:41.440 --> 0:21:43.160 other country you prefer to live in the best place 0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:48.399 in the world? This one here from ben Guda Ben No. 0:21:48.680 --> 0:21:50.560 We are killing this country on the same path as 0:21:50.560 --> 0:21:52.800 the UK. I hope I'm wrongs has been in capitals. 0:21:53.480 --> 0:21:56.720 A lot of people not optimistic about the future of 0:21:56.880 --> 0:22:01.560 the country, optimistic that the Yester twenty two and the 0:22:01.560 --> 0:22:03.560 nose of thirty eight. I mean, yes, I'm part of 0:22:03.560 --> 0:22:07.399 the twenty two. It wou'd be different if you're a migrant, 0:22:07.440 --> 0:22:10.119 if you've come from somewhere else too. We've come from England, 0:22:10.119 --> 0:22:13.359 which is it rains all the time. My dad used 0:22:13.400 --> 0:22:15.359 to say, every day be raining now in England. One 0:22:15.400 --> 0:22:19.840 duble three two. Hello, Jeff, Hi Simon, how are you good? 0:22:19.840 --> 0:22:22.240 Thank you? You know a bit about timber and termites. 0:22:22.600 --> 0:22:26.280 Yeah, yeah, I do a little bit. So we're using 0:22:26.320 --> 0:22:29.640 a new product that's coming from the Netherlands. It's initially 0:22:29.840 --> 0:22:33.639 a sustainable pine which has been treated. It's called a koya, 0:22:33.800 --> 0:22:39.640 which has been treated with a non toxic natural product 0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:42.119 which is kept very secret. No one seems to know 0:22:42.160 --> 0:22:44.760 what it is. But it's used a lot for decking, 0:22:45.880 --> 0:22:49.960 for joinery, staircases and at the moment because it's a. 0:22:49.920 --> 0:22:50.960 Substitute for jara. 0:22:51.119 --> 0:22:52.880 You know, you used to get a lot of boardwalks 0:22:52.880 --> 0:22:55.840 and that made out of jarra. Now this product's used. 0:22:55.840 --> 0:22:59.119 We've machine a lot of it and it has a 0:22:59.160 --> 0:23:02.919 lifespan of guarantee of a lifespan of wood rot terms 0:23:03.800 --> 0:23:08.080 for fifty years. So that's that's the new product that's 0:23:08.280 --> 0:23:10.080 we tend to be using at the moment. 0:23:10.359 --> 0:23:12.719 So and what is it is it? Is it like 0:23:12.760 --> 0:23:14.520 if you went down and down to mand r could 0:23:14.560 --> 0:23:16.760 you could you paint it on the giant's feet? What 0:23:16.800 --> 0:23:19.200 does it look like? Yeah, yeah, yeah you could. 0:23:19.280 --> 0:23:21.199 Yeah you could use it. Yeah, I definitely could use 0:23:21.240 --> 0:23:24.800 it to make Yeah, you definitely could use it for 0:23:24.880 --> 0:23:28.440 that and the last fifty years. Being that it's a pine. 0:23:28.800 --> 0:23:32.800 Here in Australia, Western Australia we use the arsenic and 0:23:33.080 --> 0:23:37.440 lo osp treated pine, which is really a non non 0:23:37.520 --> 0:23:41.600 environmental product. But with this new product coming from the Netherlands, 0:23:41.840 --> 0:23:43.560 the treatment is guaranteed. 0:23:43.119 --> 0:23:43.560 To be not. 0:23:45.760 --> 0:23:49.800 Just not destroyed for for the environment, for trees, for animals, 0:23:49.840 --> 0:23:52.840 animals constew it and nothing will happen. So yeah, okay, 0:23:54.240 --> 0:23:56.480 can I just can I just say just one quick 0:23:56.560 --> 0:23:59.920 simon if you mate, we put we put timber out 0:24:00.200 --> 0:24:02.080 on our verge just a bit of a serious now, 0:24:02.119 --> 0:24:03.600 we put timber out on our verge for a lot 0:24:03.600 --> 0:24:06.639 of pensioners and down and out people for their firewood. 0:24:07.000 --> 0:24:10.520 That's the last couple of weeks I've had someone pinching 0:24:10.600 --> 0:24:14.199 out crates and bags, just taking them more, And I 0:24:14.280 --> 0:24:17.120 just want to say that person's listening. You know, you're 0:24:17.160 --> 0:24:19.560 doing a designer to all these poor pensioners that come 0:24:19.640 --> 0:24:24.560 around on the weekend picking timber to keep them warm. 0:24:24.600 --> 0:24:26.520 And I just wish that I'm not going to go 0:24:26.560 --> 0:24:27.760 the police for it, but I just wish that he 0:24:28.040 --> 0:24:32.560 sort of pee or share. I should say, stop stop 0:24:32.680 --> 0:24:33.080 doing that. 0:24:33.440 --> 0:24:36.960 Yeah, all right, thanks mate.

Yeah, 0:24:44.280 --> 0:24:47.600 Bob from Bill bullwinklekodo Bob, Sorry, Simon, but I'm a 0:24:47.680 --> 0:24:50.600 no watching the deterioration of traditional values is sad. These 0:24:50.680 --> 0:24:53.760 values with a cornerstone in society. It's a worry. So Bob, 0:24:53.760 --> 0:24:56.560 Thanks Bob. Goodyear from your mate. Ben from Kelmscott says no. 0:24:58.119 --> 0:25:02.000 Janet says yes, becoming so overpopulated, the cost of living declining, 0:25:02.200 --> 0:25:04.359 So I think you're in No, Janet, I think an 0:25:04.440 --> 0:25:11.600 aileen of reason, the voice saying next to me, sorry mate, 0:25:12.680 --> 0:25:14.760 ailing the voice of reason said, seems that even the 0:25:14.800 --> 0:25:18.720 giants are subject to inbuilt obsolescence. That's such a shame. Yeah, Ailien, 0:25:18.760 --> 0:25:20.760 I get and I had no idea. But Thomas Dambo 0:25:20.920 --> 0:25:23.879 is a forager and a recycler, and he it was 0:25:23.880 --> 0:25:27.560 always his plan, which I must have been somewhere in 0:25:27.600 --> 0:25:29.800 the in all of it. It was always the plan 0:25:29.920 --> 0:25:34.760 that the giants, would you know, had a shelf life. 0:25:34.920 --> 0:25:38.280 A developing story. We are hearing this is coming out 0:25:38.280 --> 0:25:41.359 of Hamilton Hill. We are hearing that Plantagenet President in 0:25:41.400 --> 0:25:44.159 Hamilton Hill has been cordoned off by police. There are 0:25:44.280 --> 0:25:48.040 multiple police vehicles there. There is a primary school in 0:25:48.040 --> 0:25:51.240 the area called south Well. Southwold Primary School has sent 0:25:51.280 --> 0:25:54.439 a message to their parents advising the parents of the 0:25:54.440 --> 0:25:57.120 street closure please so there's no threat to student safety. 0:25:57.200 --> 0:25:59.919 So we are we are hearing that now the no 0:26:00.160 --> 0:26:03.760 of We'll try and chase up some more information from authorities. 0:26:03.760 --> 0:26:06.440 Bills phone in High Bill good A. 0:26:06.640 --> 0:26:11.000 Simon's I ever thought you were joking when you said 0:26:11.040 --> 0:26:13.080 you were a years person. 0:26:14.000 --> 0:26:15.040 I am not. 0:26:18.560 --> 0:26:22.920 You, and I agree on just about almost everything when 0:26:22.920 --> 0:26:26.720 you've come out with that thought as joking. But I 0:26:27.680 --> 0:26:33.000 don't like being a negative person at all. But I 0:26:33.040 --> 0:26:37.919 was brought up in Australia, Western Australia when it was fabulous. 0:26:37.960 --> 0:26:43.080 My parents never ever locked our doors and that was 0:26:43.280 --> 0:26:47.040 that was in victim. You know, somebody has has their 0:26:47.960 --> 0:26:50.080 doors unlocked now that they've got to be a damn 0:26:50.080 --> 0:26:55.159 good fighter or have some something good behind the front door. 0:26:56.000 --> 0:26:59.639 That's so, that's a that's a good KPI, Bill, you know, 0:26:59.720 --> 0:27:01.679 having a lock our cars and our houses, that's a 0:27:02.240 --> 0:27:05.240 I understand that. I think there's probably still some place 0:27:05.280 --> 0:27:06.840 in the country we don't have to do it, Bill. 0:27:06.920 --> 0:27:11.120 But yeah, well mate, keep listening and hopefully we can 0:27:11.119 --> 0:27:15.600 continue to agree and disagree on stuff. How old are you, Bill? 0:27:18.000 --> 0:27:19.160 A young eighty two? 0:27:19.600 --> 0:27:21.040 All right, so you've seen a bit of seen a 0:27:21.040 --> 0:27:21.480 bit of action. 0:27:23.040 --> 0:27:27.320 I'm still yeah, well i've I've don't know. You played 0:27:27.400 --> 0:27:31.240 sport more often than not. And it wasn't long ago 0:27:31.320 --> 0:27:32.719 that I still water skiing. 0:27:33.200 --> 0:27:33.360 Yep. 0:27:34.800 --> 0:27:38.200 One of my friends dragged me. He started off slowly 0:27:38.880 --> 0:27:42.440 and dragged me along slowly, and I got worn out. 0:27:42.480 --> 0:27:44.120 He's not a friend anymore. 0:27:47.000 --> 0:27:48.440 But you don't sound a spot. 0:27:50.200 --> 0:27:50.440 No. 0:27:51.680 --> 0:27:58.200 Well, your show is really good, and they say it's 0:27:58.880 --> 0:28:01.400 I pay a lot of attention to it, and that's 0:28:01.440 --> 0:28:04.879 what I'm saying. It's for a pom. You a really 0:28:04.880 --> 0:28:12.080 good guy. It's just amazing. I met an irishman yesterday 0:28:12.480 --> 0:28:18.280 and h he's a really he's a really really interesting guy. 0:28:18.280 --> 0:28:20.480 And I might have some really good news for you 0:28:20.560 --> 0:28:26.520 in another six months time. Yeah right, yeah, and which 0:28:26.560 --> 0:28:28.240 will be really interesting for you. 0:28:28.359 --> 0:28:30.320 Yeah, let me know. Bill. You know where we are. 0:28:30.400 --> 0:28:34.040 Bill always you can always ring And I am up, mate, 0:28:34.080 --> 0:28:34.480 hang in. 0:28:36.520 --> 0:28:37.160 I'm all right. 0:28:37.200 --> 0:28:39.680 And I just feel sorry for the kids these days, 0:28:39.720 --> 0:28:44.120 and and the girls. There's too many girls now and 0:28:44.200 --> 0:28:49.160 we need more more males born. I've got five granddaughters 0:28:49.200 --> 0:28:51.680 and I think crops are no good males around it. 0:28:51.960 --> 0:28:55.760 All right, matey, good to talk to you Bill. Thanks mate. 0:28:56.000 --> 0:29:00.520 Billy's Bill's not not optimistic about the Australia's future because 0:29:00.560 --> 0:29:02.280 we have to lock our doors. And you know, I 0:29:02.320 --> 0:29:05.760 know what he means. That's a sense of a sense 0:29:05.800 --> 0:29:09.240 of loss of security, loss, you know, some lawlessness. But 0:29:09.480 --> 0:29:13.160 it's probably I'm not meaning to be glib here, but 0:29:13.160 --> 0:29:15.840 that's a worldwide thing, isn't it. That's part of a 0:29:15.880 --> 0:29:19.040 part of what we see worldwide. But Bill's not optimistic. 0:29:19.120 --> 0:29:20.720 Habit to take your calls one double three eight to 0:29:20.760 --> 0:29:23.520 eighty two. Did you know that the giants were had 0:29:23.560 --> 0:29:26.080 a shelf life? And I just when we come back, 0:29:26.120 --> 0:29:28.800 I'm going to make a comment. John mcketney's stepping down 0:29:28.840 --> 0:29:30.160 as the head of the Triple of the Triple c 0:29:31.200 --> 0:29:34.320 and it's you know, he's devoted that the former judges 0:29:34.320 --> 0:29:35.880 devoted a lot of his life to the Triple Sea 0:29:35.880 --> 0:29:37.320 and the work that it does. They've had some high 0:29:37.360 --> 0:29:41.160 profile victories. They managed to land Paul White. You know 0:29:41.200 --> 0:29:43.720 we heard Millsy and Carl talk about this morning. Paul 0:29:43.720 --> 0:29:45.400 White is the work in this building here for the 0:29:45.440 --> 0:29:47.920 Department of Communities and ripped off all of us that 0:29:48.160 --> 0:29:54.640 the most excessive public servant criminal in the history of 0:29:54.640 --> 0:29:58.200 Western Australia, somewhere between twenty two and twenty five million 0:29:58.240 --> 0:30:00.360 bucks he managed to rip off out of the system 0:30:00.360 --> 0:30:03.920 because he's an executive at Communities and was allowing jobs 0:30:03.960 --> 0:30:06.320 to go ahead without being approved. And it was jobs 0:30:06.360 --> 0:30:08.240 where he was taking the money out of the system 0:30:08.280 --> 0:30:12.880 for himself and some of his dodgy mates. So you 0:30:12.920 --> 0:30:14.840 know that has been a high profile scout. But I 0:30:14.880 --> 0:30:16.600 would say, and I'll come back to this in just 0:30:16.640 --> 0:30:21.080 a moment, I would say that that Paul White had 0:30:21.080 --> 0:30:25.160 whistleblowers inside communities. That wasn't all down to the Triple See, 0:30:25.200 --> 0:30:27.520 the Triple C landed him, and you know, through their 0:30:27.560 --> 0:30:30.120 contacts and through the police, we were to bring their 0:30:30.160 --> 0:30:32.800 considerable powers to bear. But a lot of that heavy 0:30:32.840 --> 0:30:35.400 lifting was done by people within the department itself who 0:30:35.400 --> 0:30:39.040 blew the whistle on this dodgy bloke. I'll come back 0:30:39.040 --> 0:30:40.800 to that in just a moment, because there's another story 0:30:40.800 --> 0:30:45.400 doing the rounds about a Department of Justice employee teenager 0:30:46.520 --> 0:30:49.520 where a Triple C investigation and an internal Department of 0:30:49.600 --> 0:30:54.680 Justice investigation matters to nothing, and on the face of it, 0:30:53.160 --> 0:30:58.360 it seems really obvious that this young bloke was given 0:30:58.600 --> 0:31:03.600 favors by virtual nepotism and family context contacts. We'll come 0:31:03.640 --> 0:31:06.840 back to that in just a moment. Wonderuble three eight 0:31:06.880 --> 0:31:10.520 e two and our question today, are you optimistic about 0:31:10.520 --> 0:31:12.920 Australia's future? I'm not optimist, So with yes, the thirty 0:31:12.920 --> 0:31:15.280 in the nose of forty eight, Tony's funding. Hi, Tony, 0:31:16.760 --> 0:31:17.200 there you goes. 0:31:17.360 --> 0:31:20.360 I would just let you know there's a police cars 0:31:20.760 --> 0:31:23.840 smashed into civilians car on a corner of Patterson and 0:31:24.280 --> 0:31:30.400 Reid Road in Rockingham. Oh no, yeah, so there's behind 0:31:30.440 --> 0:31:33.480 this behold, there's police on the scene. But it looks 0:31:33.480 --> 0:31:35.560 like everyone's out of the cars. But the front of 0:31:35.600 --> 0:31:38.720 the cop cars pretty smashed up. They've planned right in 0:31:38.720 --> 0:31:41.320 the middle of the B pillar on the on the 0:31:41.400 --> 0:31:42.160 driver's side. 0:31:42.440 --> 0:31:47.080 Yeah, okay, anybody anybody hurt? Turning from what you can see. 0:31:48.320 --> 0:31:50.680 I just drove. Looked like everyone's down the vehicles, so 0:31:50.960 --> 0:31:54.200 I don't think anyone's heart But yeah, I did. 0:31:54.040 --> 0:31:54.720 A pretty good job. 0:31:55.200 --> 0:31:57.120 Yeah. That's a busy intersection too, mate, isn't it this 0:31:57.160 --> 0:32:00.880 time of road, this time of day. Thanks Tony, thank 0:32:00.960 --> 0:32:02.920 you for letting us know. He's hoping everyone's all right. 0:32:03.200 --> 0:32:05.720 One double three aged two will come back. Craig, stay there, mate, 0:32:05.720 --> 0:32:07.080 we'll have a chat to you in just a second. 0:32:07.080 --> 0:32:09.280 We want to talk about the Water Corporation. I know 0:32:09.360 --> 0:32:14.200 Olie spoke about the overflowing sewerage issues in some of 0:32:14.240 --> 0:32:17.360 the southern so' still going today. But Philip are talking 0:32:17.360 --> 0:32:20.640 about in our news are you optimistic about Australia's future? 0:32:20.640 --> 0:32:22.560 The yes at twenty nine, the nose of forty eight 0:32:22.560 --> 0:32:25.360 back in a moment, How good was it that Sue 0:32:25.400 --> 0:32:28.680 McDougall received a gong in yesterday's King's Birthday Awards.

It's about caring for the canopy 0:32:44.200 --> 0:32:47.440 and the trees and the environment. So world Unsue from 0:32:47.440 --> 0:32:49.720 all of us, very very proud of you.

If you've 0:32:56.040 --> 0:33:01.280 written in Dwelling Up or maybe Collie Esperances or done 0:33:01.720 --> 0:33:03.960 one of the races, you've probably had something to do 0:33:03.960 --> 0:33:07.800 with Tony Tuckknott. And Tony Tuckknott is mister mountain Bike 0:33:07.840 --> 0:33:10.240 in w A and he received an award yesterday as well. 0:33:10.320 --> 0:33:12.360 So we might try and get t t on a 0:33:12.400 --> 0:33:16.240 little bit later. Absolute Alarican rascal of a bloke, loves 0:33:16.240 --> 0:33:19.200 the bush, loves mountain biking and loves the movement. And 0:33:19.240 --> 0:33:22.280 we have, you know, seen mountain biking exploding in Wa 0:33:22.360 --> 0:33:24.720 in the last five or ten years and t T 0:33:26.080 --> 0:33:27.560 Tony tuck Knot's had a lot to do that and 0:33:27.600 --> 0:33:30.840 he picked up a gong yesterday as well. Just this story, 0:33:30.880 --> 0:33:34.000 this is not our story. This comes from the national broadcaster. 0:33:35.480 --> 0:33:39.720 The State Political Reporters has the story. So the Department 0:33:39.720 --> 0:33:43.040 of Justice have got a seventeen year old family member 0:33:43.080 --> 0:33:47.440 who works at the DOJ and has received a number 0:33:47.480 --> 0:33:51.040 of sort of I guess contracts and then permanent work, 0:33:51.360 --> 0:33:54.479 but has also received and jump a Q for government 0:33:54.520 --> 0:33:58.200 fund housing. So this person hasn't been named because they're 0:33:58.200 --> 0:34:03.880 seventeen obviously, but the DOJ ran their own investigation and 0:34:03.920 --> 0:34:06.719 said move on, there's nothing to see here, and Triple 0:34:06.760 --> 0:34:10.400 C were called in and they've also said so the 0:34:10.520 --> 0:34:14.440 Triple c's Parliamentary Inspector, Matthew Zilko said that the investigation 0:34:14.600 --> 0:34:17.640 was wholly inadequate. So on a day that we commend 0:34:17.760 --> 0:34:20.200 John mckeckney for his work as the head of the 0:34:20.200 --> 0:34:23.120 Triple C, the former judge, we see the Triple C 0:34:23.680 --> 0:34:26.880 running the ruler on the Department of Justice and be 0:34:26.960 --> 0:34:30.480 coming up with being very has been an investigation wholly inadequate. 0:34:30.520 --> 0:34:33.360 So this is seventeen year old. It's just amazing that 0:34:33.400 --> 0:34:35.840 people still think this is okay. It's been given a 0:34:35.840 --> 0:34:39.720 couple of contract jobs and an extent a permanent position 0:34:39.800 --> 0:34:41.920 and as jump the Q to get a house, a 0:34:41.960 --> 0:34:46.959 three bedroom house in country wa seemingly bypassing a waiting list, 0:34:47.040 --> 0:34:50.520 DOJ run their investigation? Move along? There's nothing to see here. 0:34:50.920 --> 0:34:54.560 Matthew Zilko from the Triple C says, no good. This 0:34:54.640 --> 0:34:56.520 is wholly inadequate. And this is on a day where 0:34:56.560 --> 0:34:59.880 John mckeckney steps down. I guess the question of what 0:35:00.080 --> 0:35:02.000 Triple C is meant to do and has it achieved? 0:35:02.000 --> 0:35:05.440 It under John's watch is alive and well? I reckon, Veronica, 0:35:05.560 --> 0:35:07.760 are you optimistic about Australia's future? 0:35:09.280 --> 0:35:15.239 Absolutely optimistic. I couldn't be more optimistic, Simon fantastic. 0:35:15.200 --> 0:35:16.359 And why why so. 0:35:17.560 --> 0:35:20.840 Is the best country in the world and I feel 0:35:20.840 --> 0:35:22.600 blessed to be here. 0:35:22.200 --> 0:35:25.279 That's all right, thank you, Veronica. She's an emphatic Yes. 0:35:25.320 --> 0:35:28.640 We'll put you in the yes column. You heard Oli yesterday, 0:35:28.680 --> 0:35:30.719 feel it. He was well, he was more than filling in. 0:35:30.800 --> 0:35:33.480 He was just came in off the bench in magnificent 0:35:33.480 --> 0:35:36.799 for Molly yesterday on this show and he spoke about 0:35:36.800 --> 0:35:41.200 the sewerage leaks through the southern suburb. Shane Lover has 0:35:41.239 --> 0:35:44.799 just put out a statement saying this water, apparently this 0:35:44.840 --> 0:35:47.239 sewerage water has gone into the Swan River. It's contaminated 0:35:47.239 --> 0:35:52.160 the Swan River. Craig has texted us today about the 0:35:52.200 --> 0:35:56.200 water corporation issues in the Midwest.

It's a serious public health 0:37:26.000 --> 0:37:30.360 and environmental risk, says Shane Love by a correspondence today. 0:37:30.960 --> 0:37:34.480 One of our listeners from Peters is Tony Tuckknott won 0:37:34.520 --> 0:37:37.040 the w A speed Card Championship with Clermont's Speedway.

A 0:38:05.400 --> 0:38:07.799 majority of people more than hay to have someone else 0:38:07.800 --> 0:38:09.200 think for them, provide them to take care of all 0:38:09.239 --> 0:38:12.080 their needs.

Sounds like they're working around 0:41:58.040 --> 0:42:01.920 the clock on the sewerage leaks, but less an ideal. 0:42:02.280 --> 0:42:04.399 We'll try and stay across it for you today.

I 0:42:30.120 --> 0:42:31.440 don't know what's wrong with these people. 0:42:31.760 --> 0:42:32.680 I thought you would be. 0:42:32.680 --> 0:42:35.160 May we've been through maybe we've been through two World wars. 0:42:35.520 --> 0:42:37.120 Appearents have been through a depression. 0:42:37.640 --> 0:42:37.799 Off. 0:42:37.840 --> 0:42:40.879 The stadium's packed every week in, the cricket's packed every week. 0:42:40.920 --> 0:42:43.160 In You get in a vehicle and drive from here 0:42:43.200 --> 0:42:46.000 to Kratha and you'll see billions of dollars of full 0:42:47.160 --> 0:42:49.959 and boats and there not all gray and omads, and 0:42:50.360 --> 0:42:54.320 the pubs are pretty well packed. So I really can't 0:42:54.480 --> 0:42:56.600 I really can't see where these people are coming from. 0:42:56.800 --> 0:42:59.200 I agree with the numpty, but you people have voted 0:42:59.200 --> 0:42:59.520 for him. 0:43:02.719 --> 0:43:05.000 Well mate, I as I say to Jacko each three weeks. 0:43:05.040 --> 0:43:06.919 You can still buy three bags of ice for twelve 0:43:06.960 --> 0:43:12.880 bucks when you've got. 0:43:10.920 --> 0:43:12.840 I used to try and I try to make me 0:43:12.920 --> 0:43:15.279 ownst and I forgot the recipe. 0:43:19.280 --> 0:43:21.279 All right, mate, let's get serious now. You, as I 0:43:21.360 --> 0:43:24.640 mentioned in the in the intro, you've been a lot, 0:43:24.680 --> 0:43:27.960 You've done a lot of security and dignatory protection. Pope 0:43:28.000 --> 0:43:31.120 John Paul, the second Queen Elizabeth roy or the royal family. 0:43:31.280 --> 0:43:32.640 Who are some of the others, mate. 0:43:34.320 --> 0:43:37.120 But I think I mentioned me in Paisley Friando Touchman, 0:43:37.680 --> 0:43:45.400 President of Croatia, President of Ireland, Mary Robinson. Well, I 0:43:45.400 --> 0:43:47.160 shouldn't say this, but I really fell in love with 0:43:47.160 --> 0:43:52.600 that lady. What an absolutely terrific person. And for those 0:43:52.600 --> 0:43:54.600 who don't know, are google her and she's probably one 0:43:54.640 --> 0:43:58.520 of the most amazing ladies on Earth. I think we 0:43:58.800 --> 0:44:01.839 mentioned a little bit a bit when she politely reminded 0:44:01.880 --> 0:44:05.759 me that David, I'm the British Prime Minister, you're my 0:44:05.840 --> 0:44:08.680 security officer and sort of put me back in my 0:44:08.760 --> 0:44:11.600 little hole when I was trying to do the right thing. 0:44:12.040 --> 0:44:16.280 Keating obviously Keating hawk Leaf one year was the first 0:44:16.760 --> 0:44:19.840 I'd only been in the squad in the protective service account. 0:44:19.840 --> 0:44:22.719 I derism for a couple of weeks and I was 0:44:22.760 --> 0:44:25.200 in awe of that man, and I know he's not 0:44:25.200 --> 0:44:28.080 with us anymore, but I still am. A lot of 0:44:28.080 --> 0:44:33.640 people will disagree totally because of how strict Singapore was. 0:44:35.280 --> 0:44:38.160 I went to Singapore in seventy four the first time 0:44:38.160 --> 0:44:40.560 with the made of mine from Sandstone, and we were 0:44:40.640 --> 0:44:44.920 short haired, decent looking blakes, and it was interesting at 0:44:44.960 --> 0:44:48.919 the airport Singapore airport three Izi's got turned away because 0:44:48.960 --> 0:44:52.480 the hair was just there the above the shoulder but 0:44:52.760 --> 0:44:55.480 not far and they got turned down or had to 0:44:55.520 --> 0:44:56.520 have the old haircut there. 0:44:56.560 --> 0:45:00.000 And then I think I remember the acronym party, I suspect, 0:45:00.040 --> 0:45:03.319 then hippie and transit. I do remember that back back 0:45:03.320 --> 0:45:06.880 in the day, one of the you mentioned Frojoe Tujum 0:45:06.960 --> 0:45:08.600 and the president of Croatia, and that that was one 0:45:08.640 --> 0:45:10.080 of your really big ones, wasn't it. 0:45:11.080 --> 0:45:14.280 That was very very scary. That was very very scary 0:45:14.320 --> 0:45:18.960 because we'd had the first of the Balkan which affected 0:45:19.520 --> 0:45:24.200 a significant number of people here in Western Australia. You 0:45:24.280 --> 0:45:29.520 mentioned Jacko before you know, we got very very proactive 0:45:29.560 --> 0:45:32.320 and used to go to all the Spearweddal Maddanak and 0:45:33.160 --> 0:45:37.359 all the Croats and then the clubs and and try 0:45:37.400 --> 0:45:41.120 to get in and establish a rapport. And one incident 0:45:41.160 --> 0:45:43.759 you wouldn't believe this. I've only just remembered this as 0:45:43.800 --> 0:45:47.480 we were speaking. How insignificant was this. There was a 0:45:47.719 --> 0:45:52.000 well known I think soccer ex soccer star living down 0:45:52.480 --> 0:45:55.400 in spear Wood and a group of youths egged his 0:45:55.520 --> 0:45:59.000 house and these guys were from high school down there, 0:45:59.200 --> 0:46:04.480 and it caused so much tension and there was death 0:46:04.520 --> 0:46:09.080 threats and whatever and what John watching myself actually went 0:46:09.120 --> 0:46:13.160 down there and spoke to the parents and it was 0:46:13.560 --> 0:46:16.520 so volatile. Simon. It was I just think gave us 0:46:16.520 --> 0:46:20.360 someone egging this guy's house. But this guy was not 0:46:20.440 --> 0:46:24.040 a Croatian. It was on the other side, so to speak. 0:46:24.600 --> 0:46:27.280 And once we sat down with the parents and these 0:46:27.400 --> 0:46:30.279 young kids that they were all about sixteen and explained 0:46:30.280 --> 0:46:35.200 to them the ramifications, they sort of pulled their heads in. 0:46:35.480 --> 0:46:38.080 But do you know where it came from? Came from granddad, 0:46:38.360 --> 0:46:42.520 the old granddad's meeting, sitting down having their veno and 0:46:42.560 --> 0:46:45.759 whatever on weekends and talking about it, and the very 0:46:45.760 --> 0:46:52.160 impressionable grandkids and that gone, and yeah, just something simple 0:46:52.239 --> 0:46:57.040 like this. We've been involved in some high profile stuff 0:46:57.080 --> 0:46:59.560 and pretty deadly stuff and that was part of it. 0:46:59.640 --> 0:47:04.960 Then Tudgman was incredibly scary for maybe because I was 0:47:05.000 --> 0:47:10.080 his number one coast protection officer and Todd first. 0:47:10.320 --> 0:47:12.360 First ball to prove vest his main bodyguard. 0:47:13.360 --> 0:47:16.200 Yeah. And I don't want your listeners to laugh. Don't 0:47:16.280 --> 0:47:18.080 think of what you see on the television. 0:47:18.120 --> 0:47:18.279 Now. 0:47:18.360 --> 0:47:21.600 This was actually think of a three piece suit. This 0:47:21.680 --> 0:47:24.239 was an actual vest and you couldn't move in it. 0:47:24.239 --> 0:47:26.520 It was like like you breake in a leg and 0:47:26.520 --> 0:47:29.239 they put plaster of Paris on you. So I was like, 0:47:29.520 --> 0:47:31.080 I was like a turtle, mate. I just had to 0:47:31.120 --> 0:47:34.960 head in two arms sticking out and but and I 0:47:35.000 --> 0:47:37.880 looked like Herman Munster and at the top half of 0:47:37.920 --> 0:47:41.239 my was massive and the bottom half. But what had 0:47:41.280 --> 0:47:44.680 happened just very quickly, John and myself got called to 0:47:44.760 --> 0:47:48.040 a house in Morley about a week before and there 0:47:48.080 --> 0:47:51.600 was a group of individuals and I will not compromise 0:47:51.760 --> 0:47:54.600 anyone or or what sides they were or where are 0:47:54.600 --> 0:47:58.160 they from, but basically they said we had to do 0:47:58.200 --> 0:48:00.640 everything power to stop Tutchman from coming here. 0:48:01.040 --> 0:48:01.279 Wow. 0:48:01.360 --> 0:48:05.000 And there was a circle, circle of men at the table. 0:48:05.440 --> 0:48:11.400 One bloke was incredibly distraught and they took me and 0:48:11.520 --> 0:48:14.239 or John and I into the room with him. And 0:48:14.600 --> 0:48:18.200 several months before his wife and three children had been 0:48:18.239 --> 0:48:23.280 executed and beheaded in front of him over in the Balkans. 0:48:23.760 --> 0:48:25.200 And I'll tell. 0:48:25.080 --> 0:48:27.840 You what, I think, that's the that's the issue for me. 0:48:28.360 --> 0:48:31.600 It wasn't that. It wasn't that long ago, was it parking? 0:48:31.600 --> 0:48:33.839 And I guess you know, here we are living over 0:48:33.880 --> 0:48:35.080 here in our part of the world, and that was 0:48:35.080 --> 0:48:40.200 happening in modern society. The atrocities were horrific, weren't they. 0:48:40.680 --> 0:48:42.719 Oh Gore terrible, And I mean there's been a number 0:48:42.760 --> 0:48:45.759 of movies and documentaries made, and I think there was 0:48:45.800 --> 0:48:50.319 one more criminal serving, more criminal charged. I think we're 0:48:50.320 --> 0:48:53.040 talking nineteen nineties, just off the top of the head. 0:48:53.560 --> 0:48:57.600 And to see what people could do to each other. 0:48:57.840 --> 0:49:01.040 There was ethnic cleansing, there was whatever. And here we 0:49:01.160 --> 0:49:06.279 had the enemy of a number of people in our 0:49:06.280 --> 0:49:11.080 community coming into our midst and it was very, very 0:49:11.160 --> 0:49:14.360 volatile and very very scary. It was probably he was 0:49:14.400 --> 0:49:19.719 only here, I think for about eighteen hours. It was 0:49:20.120 --> 0:49:24.400 probably the most intense security operation that we have ever done, 0:49:24.640 --> 0:49:28.040 and it was bloody scary mate. I don't mind, you know, 0:49:28.120 --> 0:49:30.759 I'll tell us it is. We were very, very very 0:49:30.800 --> 0:49:35.960 nervous and I'm not sure. I think it was the 0:49:36.000 --> 0:49:38.960 Perf entertainments in it. Now could be wrong that we 0:49:39.000 --> 0:49:41.240 took him and I know that there are bomb squad 0:49:41.280 --> 0:49:44.840 and technicians and everyone took nearly three days to clear that. 0:49:44.520 --> 0:49:48.080 That's that's how intense it was, so. 0:49:48.120 --> 0:49:50.279 I didn't I can't remember this. It's not often, you know, 0:49:50.320 --> 0:49:53.320 when you and I talk, I've either missed something or 0:49:53.360 --> 0:49:56.439 can't remember. But the French Consulate in Perth was five 0:49:56.480 --> 0:49:58.000 mon party. I didn't realize that. 0:49:58.520 --> 0:50:01.080 It was made. It was an honor console. It up 0:50:01.080 --> 0:50:06.000 in West Perth. The tuturemen was coming in about two 0:50:06.040 --> 0:50:08.400 pm and about half past three in the morning my 0:50:08.600 --> 0:50:13.600 phone home phone pager went off and urgent, so I 0:50:13.719 --> 0:50:17.480 rung the headquarters duty officer and they said there's a 0:50:17.480 --> 0:50:23.560 fire bombing. I took a boy myself to go up there. 0:50:23.600 --> 0:50:25.160 I went up there and there's a couple of other 0:50:25.200 --> 0:50:28.319 agencies who we know they're there, but I can't talk 0:50:28.320 --> 0:50:33.160 about They turned up and it was we had to 0:50:33.280 --> 0:50:36.200 contact the Protective Security Center in Canber obviously the Prime 0:50:36.239 --> 0:50:41.959 Minister's office, and it was full on. And the good 0:50:42.040 --> 0:50:46.879 news is that the people who were responsible actually rang 0:50:46.960 --> 0:50:53.200 in and claimed responsibility. And they gave a fictitional name. 0:50:53.239 --> 0:50:56.320 I think it was South Pacific Action Group or some 0:50:56.320 --> 0:50:59.960 something like that. I quickly said to the head investigator 0:51:00.040 --> 0:51:03.520 as no such group. And within a matter of problems 0:51:04.239 --> 0:51:06.680 as we had them, and there were just a couple 0:51:06.680 --> 0:51:10.560 of smoking a little bit of happy wead up in 0:51:10.640 --> 0:51:14.799 Kings Park and talking about the Rainbow Warrior. They probably 0:51:14.840 --> 0:51:17.600 wouldn't have been around then anyhow, and decided to go 0:51:17.680 --> 0:51:19.880 and do that now you know, just a little insottle 0:51:19.880 --> 0:51:24.440 by that causes international ramifications. The honorary Consul was terrific. 0:51:24.800 --> 0:51:29.239 He turned up and so we had that and then 0:51:30.760 --> 0:51:35.440 tugmen and I was awake from three point thirty until 0:51:36.080 --> 0:51:38.160 nine o'clock the next morning, which you would never do 0:51:38.280 --> 0:51:43.480 now under health, safety and welfare. And yeah, and the 0:51:43.520 --> 0:51:45.719 whole team, which was only about eight of nine of us, 0:51:45.719 --> 0:51:50.200 then did that. Then had to had to contend with 0:51:50.520 --> 0:51:53.440 the people. The good news is, and I'll go back 0:51:53.480 --> 0:51:59.359 to fashion. John John alias the Pope was a very good, 0:51:59.760 --> 0:52:02.080 very at reading people, and he virtually when we're at 0:52:02.120 --> 0:52:06.160 the house in Morley, he virtually told the leaders, Look, 0:52:06.200 --> 0:52:08.239 why would you give him the satisfaction. You've got a 0:52:08.280 --> 0:52:13.160 magnificent community here, you're well respected, you've got tremendous you 0:52:13.320 --> 0:52:16.720 built freemantled in West Australia. Why would you allow yourself 0:52:16.719 --> 0:52:20.520 to be on the TV and make dickids yourself. So 0:52:20.640 --> 0:52:22.640 they did the right thing, which is really really good, 0:52:22.680 --> 0:52:24.680 and they got a lot of accolades for it, because 0:52:25.520 --> 0:52:30.600 you know, it was a really horrid, torrid time after 0:52:30.719 --> 0:52:33.440 being late from three point thirty twelve nine ten the 0:52:33.440 --> 0:52:35.480 next day. I never slept for two days. I couldn't 0:52:35.480 --> 0:52:38.880 have kept steering at the ceiling because of the stress 0:52:38.920 --> 0:52:39.839 and the yea. 0:52:39.880 --> 0:52:42.040 Such was the intensity. Parky will come back in just 0:52:42.080 --> 0:52:47.640 a moment. We saw a news reporter hit by rubber 0:52:47.640 --> 0:52:50.759 bullet yesterday in struck by a rubber bullet inadvertently, I 0:52:50.800 --> 0:52:55.480 think as part of the riots in LA will come back, Parky. 0:52:55.719 --> 0:52:57.359 I'll talk to you about that because I think I reckon. 0:52:57.400 --> 0:52:58.880 I had a fair bit to do it with some 0:52:58.920 --> 0:53:02.920 of those non lethal means that I were used and 0:53:02.960 --> 0:53:05.400 deployed by the police back in the day. Stay listening 0:53:06.840 --> 0:53:09.800 Dave Parkinson's with us. This is true Detective our fortnightly segment. 0:53:09.880 --> 0:53:13.920 We look at policing issues from the past and Parky 0:53:14.280 --> 0:53:16.440 is still with us. Hey, park have you been on 0:53:17.080 --> 0:53:19.239 I know you're also the mayor of Carlisle Heights or 0:53:19.239 --> 0:53:21.040 Mount Carlisle, whatever you call it. Been on the new 0:53:21.080 --> 0:53:23.200 train yet name. 0:53:23.040 --> 0:53:26.440 My daughter went on it yesterday. And the best thing is, Simon, 0:53:26.520 --> 0:53:29.000 you can actually move in Carlisle Heights now, You've actually 0:53:29.080 --> 0:53:32.640 got a streak that you can actually drive on. But 0:53:32.760 --> 0:53:37.000 it is absolutely tremendous. It is really, really tremendous what 0:53:37.080 --> 0:53:37.680 has been done. 0:53:37.880 --> 0:53:41.520 Yeah, right, yesterday yesterday we saw one of the nine 0:53:41.560 --> 0:53:46.880 reporters in the Thicker Things in la and are struck 0:53:46.920 --> 0:53:49.040 by a rubber bullet. I'm not quite sure how to 0:53:49.040 --> 0:53:51.080 explain it either way, struck in the leg by a 0:53:51.120 --> 0:53:53.920 rubber bullet. Laurence to Mazzy, you had a bit to 0:53:53.960 --> 0:53:55.880 do with some of those non lethal options when they 0:53:55.960 --> 0:53:57.719 introduced the WA police back in the day. 0:53:58.560 --> 0:54:02.400 It was interesting, Simon, the taser, the pepper spray, the 0:54:02.440 --> 0:54:06.840 bean bag round beyond netgun, it didn't work too well. 0:54:07.760 --> 0:54:12.920 I was the project owner of when they decided to 0:54:12.920 --> 0:54:16.600 introduce pepper spray. I was called up and they said 0:54:16.600 --> 0:54:19.960 can we trial it? So my inspector Dennis Collinson from 0:54:20.000 --> 0:54:23.640 the Tactical Response Group. Dennis took control of that, but 0:54:23.719 --> 0:54:28.719 I was the project owner. The tases were very, very interesting. 0:54:29.239 --> 0:54:32.880 I left the Counter terrorsm Area State Protection, gone to 0:54:32.920 --> 0:54:35.439 Middland for a little while to sort o a little 0:54:35.480 --> 0:54:38.680 problem there, and then came back and they decided to 0:54:38.880 --> 0:54:42.880 introduce tases and test them. And I think I was 0:54:42.880 --> 0:54:44.839 a second bloke in W eight to get hit with one, 0:54:45.560 --> 0:54:48.239 and there was a lot of even I remember John 0:54:48.239 --> 0:54:51.000 Hammond and myself talking once on air, may have even 0:54:51.040 --> 0:54:55.760 been your showed they had a court case where someone 0:54:55.800 --> 0:54:59.759 had suffered pretty severely through the use of Taylor and 0:54:59.760 --> 0:55:01.319 we had a bit of a taste to tato about it, 0:55:01.400 --> 0:55:05.360 but no one had had died. And the amount of 0:55:05.520 --> 0:55:07.960 lives that have been saved in w A since we 0:55:08.040 --> 0:55:11.120 bought in the tases is quite extraordinary. 0:55:12.280 --> 0:55:14.759 Did it work on new party? I have heard you 0:55:14.960 --> 0:55:18.040 over the over the time that I've been here. Some 0:55:18.040 --> 0:55:20.399 some people tasers simply don't work on them, do they? 0:55:22.400 --> 0:55:26.040 Yes? But not often. I was dropped, mate, I went 0:55:26.120 --> 0:55:29.480 down and there's a couple of SAS soldiers with me 0:55:29.520 --> 0:55:35.440 and they went down one incident of oh yeah, I 0:55:35.520 --> 0:55:40.319 will There was a horrendous attack on a nurse in 0:55:41.160 --> 0:55:43.560 Swan District's hospital quite a few years ago and she 0:55:44.040 --> 0:55:48.719 suffered horrendous injuries and whatever. The offender that attacked her 0:55:48.880 --> 0:55:53.080 was a massive, massive, massive big man, and my guys 0:55:55.480 --> 0:55:57.600 hitt him about three or four times with the taser 0:55:57.640 --> 0:56:00.320 and I just had no effect. But very that is 0:56:00.360 --> 0:56:05.840 a rare occurrence because sometimes if you've you're heavily clad, 0:56:05.880 --> 0:56:08.920 you've got a lot of clothes on them whatever, you know, 0:56:09.840 --> 0:56:12.400 the spikes may not stick. But I look at it 0:56:12.440 --> 0:56:16.000 this way for them, and every incident was recorded with 0:56:16.160 --> 0:56:19.680 all deployed under the less than lethal option forms you 0:56:19.719 --> 0:56:24.160 have to fill out. They're just absolute, outstanding success and 0:56:24.200 --> 0:56:29.080 one of one of my greatest pride that I have. 0:56:29.200 --> 0:56:31.160 From the day I took over State Protection as a 0:56:31.200 --> 0:56:34.440 superintendent and started that off to the day I reached 0:56:34.800 --> 0:56:36.960 the day I left that area and I went back twice. 0:56:38.040 --> 0:56:41.040 No one lost their life under my watch, but we 0:56:41.080 --> 0:56:42.839 had a few shootings. I don't worry about that. I'm 0:56:42.840 --> 0:56:45.120 not getting away from that. We had quite a few 0:56:46.400 --> 0:56:50.279 shots fired and people hurt wounded. But those tasers and 0:56:50.600 --> 0:56:54.359 then the OC spray when we bought that in that 0:56:54.520 --> 0:56:57.600 was that certainly slaid a lot of people down as well. 0:56:57.840 --> 0:57:02.040 Do we still have main backgrounds and rubber bullets here 0:57:02.239 --> 0:57:03.680 in per party. 0:57:04.360 --> 0:57:07.400 I'm not sure about the rubber bullets and you know me, 0:57:07.719 --> 0:57:09.680 I won't comment on anything that I'm not sure of, 0:57:11.000 --> 0:57:14.960 but bean bag rounds they were certainly using him at 0:57:14.960 --> 0:57:17.840 one time and they are a tremendous asset to you know, 0:57:17.840 --> 0:57:19.960 you'd rather get hit with one of them than the 0:57:19.960 --> 0:57:24.400 full force of a weapon. And you know, the w 0:57:24.520 --> 0:57:30.200 a place record is just absolutely incredible over the years, 0:57:31.440 --> 0:57:35.120 you know, really yeah, second and none can considering if 0:57:35.160 --> 0:57:38.880 you go we I don't know, probably two thousands, so 0:57:38.920 --> 0:57:41.600 I think in Victoria there was a massive amount of 0:57:42.760 --> 0:57:50.600 place shootings quite actually, and you know we're very held 0:57:50.640 --> 0:57:54.800 in goodstead here with training and with that sort of 0:57:54.840 --> 0:57:57.560 bringing him in the commissioners of the day to bring 0:57:57.680 --> 0:58:00.000 in I'm ninety nine percent sure we were the first 0:58:00.280 --> 0:58:03.840 Australia to get the taser and then every other state followed. 0:58:04.000 --> 0:58:08.800 Yeah, this is related and talking to day Parkings and everybody. 0:58:08.840 --> 0:58:13.680 Former Superintendent Dignitary Protection detective street copy. He's done at all. 0:58:14.280 --> 0:58:16.880 This is true detective our segment. For the people who 0:58:16.920 --> 0:58:20.320 are corresponding with who haven't heard with it before. We 0:58:20.400 --> 0:58:23.520 talked to part every fortnight. We've talked to Forbid in 0:58:23.520 --> 0:58:26.440 the last couple of months, Parky, probably since April. Actually 0:58:26.480 --> 0:58:30.160 about these housing estates that are community they call community 0:58:30.160 --> 0:58:32.000 housing now they used to be homes where it's housing. 0:58:33.400 --> 0:58:37.440 Anti social behavior is something that you've been involved with before, 0:58:37.480 --> 0:58:40.840 and it's still happening. It is complicated. There are mental 0:58:40.840 --> 0:58:43.520 health issues involved, there are substance abuse issues involved, and 0:58:44.080 --> 0:58:46.200 some le galleries. I heard John Kerry talking to Ollie 0:58:46.200 --> 0:58:49.200 about it yesterday. But it's still around, Parky. 0:58:50.120 --> 0:58:50.800 It is Simon. 0:58:50.960 --> 0:58:53.520 And look, I can go right back to before I 0:58:53.600 --> 0:58:58.840 joined the job, and that was stood in November seventy five, 0:58:59.000 --> 0:59:04.080 and then out of Academy seventy six. I look at Lockridge. Now, 0:59:04.160 --> 0:59:07.000 I had families, a couple of sisters living there back 0:59:07.000 --> 0:59:09.800 probably nineteen seventy four or whatever, and I was quite 0:59:09.840 --> 0:59:15.040 horrified at the concept. Then there was Lockridge, Brownly Towers, Giruine, 0:59:15.040 --> 0:59:18.600 Clendula and whatever. And I'm going to get slaughtered for 0:59:18.680 --> 0:59:21.840 saying this, but I'm going to say it, basically, you've 0:59:21.920 --> 0:59:27.560 put a lot of people of the same ilk into 0:59:27.600 --> 0:59:32.680 these places. Now. The one in Inglewood is a classic 0:59:32.760 --> 0:59:41.680 example of putting people mentally affected, people who were drug affected, 0:59:41.720 --> 0:59:45.200 alcohol and whatever, and then amongst them you've put people 0:59:45.240 --> 0:59:48.360 who are trying to really make it and it just 0:59:48.480 --> 0:59:53.600 doesn't work. And it's well all documented about my daughter. 0:59:54.200 --> 0:59:57.800 She lived in Carlisle Heights and meth lab exploded next 0:59:57.800 --> 1:00:02.760 door and her wall was blun out and a few 1:00:02.800 --> 1:00:03.600 people charged. 1:00:03.640 --> 1:00:03.840 Well. 1:00:04.320 --> 1:00:07.760 Between her and myself, we'd made nearly over one hundred 1:00:07.840 --> 1:00:11.960 calls to his near Department of Communities on that And 1:00:12.000 --> 1:00:15.240 I remember on the morning show on six hour, I 1:00:15.320 --> 1:00:17.160 rang in and I was just bloody rapable. I had 1:00:17.160 --> 1:00:19.560 to talk to someone because I really was in a 1:00:19.640 --> 1:00:23.280 killing mood, and Troy Buzzwell. I called him out and 1:00:23.320 --> 1:00:25.640 give Buzzwell his due. He came out to our house 1:00:26.440 --> 1:00:29.160 and he said, well, what do we do? So I 1:00:29.240 --> 1:00:33.720 sat down in about five minutes flat and drew up 1:00:33.760 --> 1:00:37.040 what I thought was a good document, the three strikes 1:00:37.040 --> 1:00:40.880 policy Document and whatever. And in the next week or so, 1:00:41.240 --> 1:00:44.360 one of the media companies no Names, No Patrol and 1:00:44.480 --> 1:00:47.919 decided to go around and interview people who'd been kicked out, 1:00:48.360 --> 1:00:50.400 and you had the old scenario with the car and 1:00:50.440 --> 1:00:52.840 the two kids, and then the park, this, that and 1:00:52.840 --> 1:00:56.760 the other, and then and of course the government of 1:00:56.800 --> 1:00:59.640 the day got flogged and I got flogged, and you've 1:00:59.640 --> 1:01:02.320 got no part or whatever. But people have had a 1:01:02.400 --> 1:01:07.080 guts full. It is about choices, and my view has 1:01:07.080 --> 1:01:09.400 always been, if you choose to take drugs, choose to 1:01:09.400 --> 1:01:12.480 get pissed, choose to fight, choose to be idiots, and 1:01:12.560 --> 1:01:17.880 choose to make people's lives a horror, you don't deserve 1:01:17.920 --> 1:01:21.480 state housing. You don't deserve my taxpayer money. That I 1:01:21.560 --> 1:01:24.600 left school at fifteen, and I retired and I'm still 1:01:24.600 --> 1:01:26.800 doing a bit of work here here and now paid 1:01:26.800 --> 1:01:30.000 my taxes all my life. I get very pissed off 1:01:30.000 --> 1:01:32.240 when I see that my taxes are going to you people, 1:01:32.280 --> 1:01:34.120 because you don't deserve it. 1:01:34.320 --> 1:01:37.160 Yeah right, Parky, as you always could talk to you 1:01:37.200 --> 1:01:40.720 all day. The Alien, one of our listeners, says Parky 1:01:40.760 --> 1:01:43.040 is a great rack on tour and has experienced some 1:01:43.080 --> 1:01:45.240 pretty incredible and interesting stuff in his time. If he 1:01:45.320 --> 1:01:48.360 remains optimistic about Australia's future, then week as it can 1:01:48.400 --> 1:01:51.640 as well thanks, Hailey. We'll leave it at that. Hey Parky, 1:01:52.560 --> 1:01:54.480 it's we're going alright, I think. 1:01:54.880 --> 1:01:56.840 Yeah, Well I hope so, mate. I mean if people 1:01:56.840 --> 1:01:58.400 have had enough, they'll get on there and say it. 1:01:58.440 --> 1:02:00.840 And I've always learned many many years you can only 1:02:00.840 --> 1:02:03.280 play some of the people some you and know I've 1:02:03.320 --> 1:02:04.160 got to be aware of that. 1:02:04.360 --> 1:02:06.760 Yeah, it's too right, Thank you mate, Thanks for the chat. 1:02:06.760 --> 1:02:07.320 Have a good nut. 1:02:08.200 --> 1:02:11.680 Thanks Simon, See you mate. Dave Parkinson true detective. He'll 1:02:11.680 --> 1:02:14.400 be back in a couple of weeks time. We are 1:02:14.440 --> 1:02:17.000 taking a poll today. Are you optimistic about Australia's future? 1:02:17.040 --> 1:02:19.400 The yeses are forty five and the nose eighty will 1:02:19.440 --> 1:02:21.200 come back in just a Moment's twenty seven and a 1:02:21.240 --> 1:02:23.040 half minutes to eleven o'clock. Hope you enjoyed that. 1:02:33.120 --> 1:02:35.600 There's been a breakdown in doun Craig this morning the 1:02:35.680 --> 1:02:38.160 Mitchell northbound of Warwick Roade. That vehicle on the right 1:02:38.240 --> 1:02:41.720 emergency lane. Make sure you proceed with caution and emergency 1:02:41.760 --> 1:02:45.440 works are proceeding in waddle up Rockingham Road, a southbound 1:02:45.520 --> 1:02:47.600 ze to road. The left lane is still closed. I'm 1:02:47.680 --> 1:02:50.320 Rob Beaver on Perth Traffic Leader six PR. 1:02:50.520 --> 1:02:53.840 Are you optimistic about Australia's future? As we sit here 1:02:53.840 --> 1:02:55.520 and look at the monitors here in our studio at 1:02:55.520 --> 1:02:58.200 six PR, the Prime Minister of Australia is addressing the 1:02:58.280 --> 1:03:02.640 National Press Club and he is outlining his plan for 1:03:02.720 --> 1:03:06.280 this term of government for his team, the labor team. 1:03:06.440 --> 1:03:08.680 So we're asking the question are you optimistic? Yes, the 1:03:08.800 --> 1:03:11.800 forty five and the NOSA eighty. Steve has texted us 1:03:11.800 --> 1:03:13.840 I'm going to say yes, even though I just paid 1:03:13.880 --> 1:03:16.080 eleven dollars fifty for a beef and gravy role in 1:03:16.160 --> 1:03:19.720 q Dale. Thanks Steve. Hard to get a salad role. 1:03:20.120 --> 1:03:22.360 Having a salad role for under ten bucks these days, 1:03:22.400 --> 1:03:28.240 isn't it. We will keep you appraised of the sewerage 1:03:28.280 --> 1:03:32.840 situation in Perth Southern Suburbs. We do have a one 1:03:32.880 --> 1:03:36.280 of our Channel nine six pur reporters looking into that today, 1:03:36.320 --> 1:03:39.760 so we'll bring you that in just the moment. Are 1:03:39.800 --> 1:03:44.320 you feeling pessimistic? There's a report forty seven percent of 1:03:44.320 --> 1:03:47.040 Australians have addressed this report so that they are pessimistic 1:03:47.080 --> 1:03:51.880 about the future. And can you turn pessimism around? Can 1:03:51.920 --> 1:03:55.200 you personally, can you turn it around? Speak to Marnie Lirishman. 1:03:55.600 --> 1:04:02.520 In just a moment on the program, Richard goodayase. 1:04:00.400 --> 1:04:05.240 Simon, Well, I'm certainly pessimistic about a linter gas. I 1:04:05.280 --> 1:04:08.520 don't know if other your listeners are aware, but I've 1:04:08.560 --> 1:04:14.280 just had notification they found seven different ways to increase charges. 1:04:16.200 --> 1:04:19.480 The supply charge has gone up, the usage charge has 1:04:19.520 --> 1:04:22.720 gone up. The account service fees have gone up from 1:04:22.760 --> 1:04:26.040 a daily charge of eight cents to twenty two cents, 1:04:26.160 --> 1:04:31.360 that's eight to twenty two cents. Overdue payments are going 1:04:31.440 --> 1:04:34.320 up from eight dollars to twelve dollars. And if you 1:04:34.360 --> 1:04:38.240 want to pay your bill over the counter at Australia Posting, 1:04:38.320 --> 1:04:40.480 they're going to charge a three dollars twenty. 1:04:40.880 --> 1:04:43.480 Well we so some of those are just just planned 1:04:43.480 --> 1:04:45.200 out overheads, fixed overheads. 1:04:46.520 --> 1:04:46.760 Yeah. 1:04:46.800 --> 1:04:50.160 And the paper well a paper bill that's going to 1:04:50.160 --> 1:04:52.280 cost you a dollar seventy five. So a lot of 1:04:52.360 --> 1:04:55.120 years ago they said our pensioners were exempt from a 1:04:55.160 --> 1:04:58.720 paperless bill charge. But it seems as if that's somehow 1:04:58.760 --> 1:05:01.480 that's crept in and they're going to charge it out. 1:05:01.960 --> 1:05:04.680 But the killer there was the account service fees going up. 1:05:05.640 --> 1:05:08.760 My eight cents to twenty two cents a day. 1:05:09.920 --> 1:05:11.680 Yeah, that's a lot. That is a lot. 1:05:12.280 --> 1:05:14.360 I've never worked out. I've never worked out what the 1:05:14.400 --> 1:05:18.480 account service fees are. Is that an administration fee? 1:05:18.640 --> 1:05:21.360 I guess does somebody just look. 1:05:21.240 --> 1:05:24.800 At that every day? No, the bill gets spat out 1:05:24.840 --> 1:05:26.720 by the computer. So I'm going to have lost to 1:05:26.800 --> 1:05:29.600 know what that account service fee. You'd be interesting for 1:05:29.640 --> 1:05:33.000 them to say to justify one an account service fee 1:05:33.040 --> 1:05:35.360 is and why it's gone up from eight cents to 1:05:35.400 --> 1:05:36.520 twenty two cents a day. 1:05:37.560 --> 1:05:40.360 Yeah, Richard, I don't know. And I think you can 1:05:40.440 --> 1:05:42.680 draw a comparison with Telstra as well, orbeit not a 1:05:42.720 --> 1:05:46.000 government utility. Telstra' fees have gone up heaps in the 1:05:46.080 --> 1:05:49.880 last five or six years, absolutely heaps. And again they're 1:05:49.880 --> 1:05:52.200 fixed overhead, so I can only assume people's wages are 1:05:52.240 --> 1:05:54.160 going up. Richard, it costs more to provide the service. 1:05:55.000 --> 1:05:57.520 I don't know. Are you a pinsioner, Richard? Do you 1:05:57.560 --> 1:05:58.720 receive concessions? 1:05:59.360 --> 1:05:59.520 Yeah? 1:05:59.560 --> 1:06:01.120 I do, Yeah, which is good. 1:06:01.200 --> 1:06:04.000 I mean, I've got no complaint about the government, the 1:06:05.000 --> 1:06:06.840 fact that the government to help us out with water 1:06:06.920 --> 1:06:10.720 and things like that, which is good. I don't understand 1:06:11.080 --> 1:06:14.480 when we get all these platitudes about the recognizing we 1:06:14.520 --> 1:06:17.000 are all doing it tough, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. 1:06:17.480 --> 1:06:20.280 How they can justify going from eight cents to twenty 1:06:20.320 --> 1:06:22.280 two cents today, it's incredulous. 1:06:22.480 --> 1:06:24.680 Yeah, all right, mate, thanks for calling in. You know 1:06:24.680 --> 1:06:28.280 I've said this before on the show. Particularly under this 1:06:28.640 --> 1:06:31.360 government this term and previous terms, they are a lot 1:06:31.440 --> 1:06:35.320 more forgiving of late payments and working out payment plans. 1:06:35.440 --> 1:06:40.160 Is no doubt about that. I know Liam, my friend 1:06:40.320 --> 1:06:42.320 and predecessor of Liam, was never happy about it. He 1:06:42.360 --> 1:06:44.600 thought that was you know, that was held as a 1:06:44.640 --> 1:06:46.960 debt on government books. I remember him doing the stories 1:06:47.000 --> 1:06:50.880 about that. But this government is more forgiving on late payments. 1:06:52.440 --> 1:06:55.080 But the administrator, I can only assume admin fees go 1:06:55.200 --> 1:06:58.280 up because of the cost of administration goes up. Salaries 1:06:58.320 --> 1:07:02.400 go up, you know, cross of cost of power, buildings, 1:07:03.560 --> 1:07:07.000 diesel or you know, everything that goes towards running running 1:07:07.000 --> 1:07:09.160 an institution has gone up over the years, hasn't it. 1:07:09.720 --> 1:07:11.919 So talks at Marty Lischman in just a moment. Can 1:07:11.960 --> 1:07:16.240 you turn pessimism around? Can you retrain yourself? You're nogging 1:07:16.280 --> 1:07:20.640 your brain to look on the bright side, Tony, Oh 1:07:20.880 --> 1:07:22.360 so hey, mate. 1:07:22.600 --> 1:07:22.920 I was. 1:07:22.960 --> 1:07:26.400 I was listening to you earlier. Earlier, Carla was talking 1:07:26.440 --> 1:07:30.160 about President tuch Man when he came here in the nineties, 1:07:30.400 --> 1:07:32.720 and it reminded me of this story. My mom was 1:07:32.760 --> 1:07:37.000 actually a MC on the event where he taught where 1:07:37.000 --> 1:07:40.400 he had this speech, you know, the in nineteen ninety five, 1:07:41.280 --> 1:07:43.840 and this was the whole this whole tension was going on, 1:07:44.040 --> 1:07:47.640 and my mom was going through the four dancers, to singers, 1:07:47.680 --> 1:07:51.920 through drama people that were there, the whole program, and 1:07:52.000 --> 1:07:55.040 at the end she forgot to announce him. At the end, 1:07:55.320 --> 1:07:58.360 he was supposed to speed. It was a full speech, 1:07:58.920 --> 1:08:02.160 and she totally for it, forgots to an ounce it. 1:08:02.640 --> 1:08:06.520 She ends the night. Everybody's looking around going, well is 1:08:06.560 --> 1:08:08.440 he gonna speak? Or what are we come here for? 1:08:09.320 --> 1:08:12.480 So you're reminded me. But he was absolutely correct about 1:08:12.520 --> 1:08:17.080 the Croatian, this generational thing with grandparents, one hundred percent. 1:08:17.560 --> 1:08:19.439 When I was in here twelve, I had a World 1:08:19.520 --> 1:08:22.760 Day speech and I said, our father's mistakes and I 1:08:22.880 --> 1:08:24.679 was in the war, by the way, so I can't 1:08:24.680 --> 1:08:28.840 speak about it. I said, our father's mistakes are not ours. 1:08:29.720 --> 1:08:33.080 And my best friends here in Perth were Serbs. Because 1:08:33.120 --> 1:08:36.679 I chose that, so I had to break the generational curse. 1:08:36.960 --> 1:08:40.040 You say that though, that ideology and that enmity does 1:08:40.080 --> 1:08:44.559 get passed from generation to generation a tony one. 1:08:44.520 --> 1:08:47.120 Hundred percent, And he just it does not only go 1:08:47.280 --> 1:08:50.519 with flaws, he goes with every community around the world, 1:08:51.520 --> 1:08:54.519 every community. Somebody has to put a stop to it. 1:08:55.360 --> 1:08:59.000 If I'm an alcoholic, why am I my son should 1:08:59.040 --> 1:09:00.880 be putting a stop to it? I said, I'm not 1:09:00.920 --> 1:09:05.479 going to be an alcoholic. But generationally goes and the 1:09:05.600 --> 1:09:12.280 cycle continues, abuses and hatreds and all these negative aspects 1:09:12.320 --> 1:09:16.320 of our generation continues. It has to stop somewhere. Yeah, 1:09:16.360 --> 1:09:20.920 thanks to somebody has to stop. Yeah, I don't know, 1:09:21.000 --> 1:09:24.080 maybe anecdotal. I just always always remember the Yeah, what 1:09:24.560 --> 1:09:30.240 happens in the home country probably really shouldn't shouldn't be 1:09:30.280 --> 1:09:33.479 brought to Australia, but it does through ideology and generational thinking. 1:09:35.240 --> 1:09:38.879 Some interesting thoughts there from Tony so new Research and mibsos. 1:09:38.920 --> 1:09:41.439 We spoke about this earlier in the program. Across the 1:09:41.479 --> 1:09:44.840 globe and particularly in Australia, forty seven percent of Australians 1:09:44.880 --> 1:09:48.439 are profoundly pessimistic, believing that the country is in decline 1:09:48.520 --> 1:09:51.439 our society is broken? Is that an individual choice? Is 1:09:51.439 --> 1:09:55.200 it something we absorb from our environment? Is it to 1:09:55.200 --> 1:09:57.800 do with what we read? Seeing here is about the 1:09:57.880 --> 1:10:00.080 chats we had with our mates? And can you and 1:10:00.240 --> 1:10:04.559 pessimism around as an individual? Moneylishman is a psychologist, joins us. 1:10:04.600 --> 1:10:07.120 Now gooday, Mary, good a, how are you going good? 1:10:07.160 --> 1:10:10.400 Thank you. I don't want to be too simplistic about this, 1:10:10.479 --> 1:10:14.080 but what would you say about attempting to move from 1:10:14.120 --> 1:10:15.440 pessimistic to optimistic? 1:10:16.439 --> 1:10:16.639 Yeah? 1:10:16.680 --> 1:10:18.920 You know, I think it is something that is a 1:10:18.920 --> 1:10:21.720 good habit to get into. But I also think when 1:10:21.760 --> 1:10:25.880 we're pessimistic, that's telling us something about our environment, isn't it? 1:10:25.920 --> 1:10:28.320 And the way the brain is perceiving what's going on 1:10:28.400 --> 1:10:30.960 in the context of our life. So if we're angry, 1:10:31.439 --> 1:10:36.680 or we're upset, or we're fearful, all those emotions do 1:10:37.000 --> 1:10:39.679 lead you to become pessimistic over time. And I think 1:10:40.040 --> 1:10:43.000 given that we're absorbing, you know, crisis after crisis in 1:10:43.040 --> 1:10:46.280 our environment, and I guess on the global scale a 1:10:46.320 --> 1:10:48.559 lot of us are absorbing that, of course we're going 1:10:48.600 --> 1:10:52.200 to feel pessimistic. But nothing good comes from us being 1:10:52.200 --> 1:10:53.240 pessimistic all the time. 1:10:53.280 --> 1:10:53.720 Doesn't it. 1:10:53.760 --> 1:10:56.639 So it is worth acknowledging what's going on, but making 1:10:56.680 --> 1:10:59.040 sure that you put the effort into train your brain 1:10:59.800 --> 1:11:02.000 to have a bit of more of a balanced perspective 1:11:02.040 --> 1:11:02.559 in life. 1:11:02.960 --> 1:11:05.360 Well, you know, my lay perspective is is I'm aware 1:11:05.400 --> 1:11:07.920 that if you do have negative thoughts on an ongoing 1:11:07.960 --> 1:11:09.800 basis and we do get them, we can have an 1:11:09.800 --> 1:11:12.680 impact on your health and it releases at least a 1:11:12.720 --> 1:11:17.400 certain hormones. What about this notion, Mary, that do worrying 1:11:17.400 --> 1:11:19.640 about things you can't control? So you know, if you 1:11:19.680 --> 1:11:21.759 watch the TV and you watch what happened was happening 1:11:21.800 --> 1:11:26.439 in la overnight, you can't really control that, but that 1:11:26.479 --> 1:11:28.200 can have an impact, I suppose. 1:11:28.400 --> 1:11:31.519 Well, exactly because we're absorbing, aren't we everything that's happening 1:11:31.560 --> 1:11:33.880 in the world. And yeah, certainly what we hear and 1:11:33.880 --> 1:11:37.040 what we're watching on the news, we're taking that in 1:11:37.120 --> 1:11:39.960 and then our brain responds to that. And again, rightly, 1:11:40.080 --> 1:11:43.120 so your brain is supposed to detect threats in the environment, 1:11:43.240 --> 1:11:46.760 But worrying does nothing unless you can do something about it. 1:11:47.160 --> 1:11:49.880 So you're always better kind of saying to yourself, is 1:11:49.920 --> 1:11:53.320 this something I can problem solve and do something about 1:11:53.439 --> 1:11:55.800 and in many cases in our own life, we can. 1:11:56.120 --> 1:11:59.200 We can action things and change things and communicate to people. 1:11:59.600 --> 1:12:01.879 But then and there's lots of things on a global 1:12:01.920 --> 1:12:05.200 scale that we can't and it doesn't serve the world, 1:12:05.720 --> 1:12:09.360 you know, for us to kind of lose hope and yeah, 1:12:09.640 --> 1:12:11.640 do nothing about it and just sit there worrying and 1:12:11.680 --> 1:12:15.799 becoming anxious. You're better off actually looking after yourself, practice 1:12:15.800 --> 1:12:19.240 self care, learning to yeah, be a little bit more optimistic, 1:12:19.400 --> 1:12:23.080 and then when you're feeling healthier mentally, then that's when 1:12:23.120 --> 1:12:25.120 you can maybe you know, get on the radio and 1:12:25.160 --> 1:12:27.599 talk to people about it, or join a lobby group 1:12:27.760 --> 1:12:30.840 or you know, join a charity, or that's when you 1:12:30.840 --> 1:12:33.040 can do something about it. But not from a place 1:12:33.080 --> 1:12:34.519 of pessimism. 1:12:35.280 --> 1:12:37.760 You know, we're getting We're running a poll today. Are 1:12:37.760 --> 1:12:40.240 you're optimistic about Australia's future? The yeses are fifteen in 1:12:40.240 --> 1:12:44.200 the noser eighty five. I'm one of the yeses. But 1:12:44.360 --> 1:12:46.360 I sort of tend to see things through my kid's 1:12:46.400 --> 1:12:48.080 eyes and that they're going all right, so that makes 1:12:48.120 --> 1:12:51.120 me happy. It is there. We got any practical tips today, 1:12:51.200 --> 1:12:56.280 MANI for people at a sort of a granular practical 1:12:56.360 --> 1:12:58.559 level about how they might be able to retrain themselves 1:12:58.760 --> 1:12:59.960 or look at things a bit differently. 1:13:00.280 --> 1:13:02.719 Yeah, yeah, well, I actually say to people, just remember 1:13:02.720 --> 1:13:05.000 that your brain is awesome and it's there protect to 1:13:05.120 --> 1:13:07.240 protect you. So it's always going to err on the 1:13:07.240 --> 1:13:09.360 side of course and make you worry about things. And 1:13:09.439 --> 1:13:12.800 we do have a negativity bias, so we're born to 1:13:12.920 --> 1:13:15.800 tune in so survival reasons to the negative. So have 1:13:15.880 --> 1:13:18.599 some self compassion for yourself first and foremost, don't judge 1:13:18.640 --> 1:13:21.000 yourself harshly if you get a bit grumpy now and again. 1:13:21.320 --> 1:13:23.320 But I say to people, you have to look for 1:13:23.360 --> 1:13:26.960 the positives and in many cases in your environment, you 1:13:27.000 --> 1:13:29.840 have to create the good things in your life. And 1:13:29.880 --> 1:13:33.640 the more you do that, and even just something like gratitude, 1:13:33.680 --> 1:13:36.519 you know, acknowledging what is good in your life and 1:13:36.520 --> 1:13:39.519 what are you truly thankful for, then you can get 1:13:39.560 --> 1:13:42.120 more of a balanced perspective of life. You know, you 1:13:42.160 --> 1:13:46.320 can acknowledge the tough stuff that's happening, but you're also going, hey, 1:13:46.360 --> 1:13:48.759 there's some awesome things going on in my life as well, 1:13:49.000 --> 1:13:51.120 and there's some really great things that are happening in 1:13:51.160 --> 1:13:53.439 the world. But you know, often we don't hear that 1:13:53.520 --> 1:13:55.320 on the news. Do we don't hear the good stuff. 1:13:55.360 --> 1:13:58.040 We hear the more the threatening things. So you can 1:13:58.080 --> 1:13:59.760 train your brain to look for the good stuff. And 1:14:00.000 --> 1:14:02.639 the more you do that, the more the good stuff 1:14:02.760 --> 1:14:03.599 seems to happen. 1:14:04.640 --> 1:14:07.280 Yeah, for sure, Marnie. Thanks for talking to me and 1:14:07.320 --> 1:14:08.840 to our listeners today. You have a good day. 1:14:09.479 --> 1:14:10.080 Thanks Simon. 1:14:10.120 --> 1:14:16.160 Thank you. Marty Lishman, psychologist. Yeah, the pessimists have the 1:14:16.240 --> 1:14:18.880 running at the moment. They are eighty five of those 1:14:18.920 --> 1:14:21.320 and the yes fifty And look, you know, some very 1:14:22.400 --> 1:14:26.000 intelligent reason responses coming on people from you know, and 1:14:26.040 --> 1:14:29.479 looking about Australia's future, about the government, about the cost 1:14:29.479 --> 1:14:33.840 of living, about housing. Kathy says, go and spend some 1:14:33.920 --> 1:14:36.720 time in the UK. You'll come back optimistic. We got 1:14:36.720 --> 1:14:40.519 back Saturday, four days in Watford. Coming back is heaven, 1:14:40.560 --> 1:14:44.960 says Kathy. Thank you another Cath, This might be the 1:14:45.000 --> 1:14:47.960 same Kathy. Twenty five dollars for playing sandwich in many places. 1:14:48.000 --> 1:14:52.000 I presume that's again a Watford reference. Thank you. Dave 1:14:52.040 --> 1:14:54.160 says I'm going to say, yes, I'm optimistic. It's only 1:14:54.200 --> 1:14:56.840 getting harder to get a feed of fish, or are 1:14:56.880 --> 1:15:00.160 you a no, Dave? It's only getting hard. How to 1:15:00.160 --> 1:15:03.240 get a feed of fish? Driver's license, boat license, trailer 1:15:03.280 --> 1:15:07.960 reggi boat reggi twenty bucks apart for four hours. Don't 1:15:07.960 --> 1:15:11.320 get me starting on the shooting. I'm assuming that's firearms. 1:15:12.360 --> 1:15:15.920 Have a good one Numeral one, Thanks Dave, look after yourself, mate, 1:15:16.280 --> 1:15:21.559 One double three two is the phone number today, Shane Simon. 1:15:21.560 --> 1:15:23.080 Are you digging up a professor to help you win 1:15:23.120 --> 1:15:28.920 your debate? Shane? I, I'm not, mate, It's just the 1:15:29.040 --> 1:15:31.320 question about is it I guess it's a question about 1:15:31.360 --> 1:15:33.000 is it a personal thing and is it how your 1:15:33.160 --> 1:15:37.599 brain functions, or you know, are people genuinely pessimistic about 1:15:37.600 --> 1:15:41.920 Australia's future. I'm not winning this debate today, Shane. It's 1:15:42.520 --> 1:15:45.280 Nosar eighty seven. The yes is a fifty one happy 1:15:45.320 --> 1:15:49.760 to happy to lose a debate, mate. It's a day 1:15:49.800 --> 1:15:52.679 where we were considering a national report and the fact 1:15:52.720 --> 1:15:55.599 that Albo is laying out his plans for the future 1:15:55.800 --> 1:15:58.160 his second term agenda at the National Press Club. Thanks 1:15:58.160 --> 1:16:01.400 for your coro, Shane. Twelve to eleven. We've got to 1:16:01.560 --> 1:16:05.080 sewage sewage overflows in somewhere southern suburbs and these are 1:16:05.080 --> 1:16:07.960 not the ways down south southern suburbs. These are near 1:16:07.960 --> 1:16:10.679 the river, some of these places places like Applecross. Elon 1:16:10.800 --> 1:16:13.920 Ardley joins us now from nine News. She has got 1:16:13.920 --> 1:16:15.320 her eye on all of this today. 1:16:15.360 --> 1:16:17.639 Evon, hey Boe, how are you going? 1:16:17.920 --> 1:16:19.439 What can you tell us today? What's the latest? 1:16:20.520 --> 1:16:24.040 So the latest is that I'm not sure if you've 1:16:24.080 --> 1:16:25.800 been up to date with what's been going on, but 1:16:25.840 --> 1:16:29.960 basically a sewer pipe sewer pipe first in beer Wood 1:16:30.320 --> 1:16:34.599 that was on Friday, and because of that, that's caused 1:16:34.720 --> 1:16:36.960 kind of mayhem in all of the all of the 1:16:37.000 --> 1:16:39.640 sewage systems. So they've had to switch off some of 1:16:39.640 --> 1:16:42.599 the pipes there and that's then caused another pipes are 1:16:42.600 --> 1:16:45.719 first in Beaconsfield, So that's where I am at the moment. 1:16:45.760 --> 1:16:49.799 At Bruges lee Rege, we're also here yesterday and basically 1:16:49.840 --> 1:16:53.360 the oval looks like a giant blud tunnel, but it's 1:16:53.400 --> 1:16:59.240 made of human waste unfortunately. So the plan was with 1:16:59.320 --> 1:17:02.280 the Watercore Operations that they wanted to fix this first 1:17:02.320 --> 1:17:05.920 pipe in Spearwood first and that was supposed to alleviate 1:17:06.479 --> 1:17:08.600 all of the other issues. We also saw overflows in 1:17:08.760 --> 1:17:11.000 a whole lot of other areas as well. Overnight and 1:17:11.080 --> 1:17:14.960 applecross and fremantle things like that. But unfortunately where the 1:17:14.960 --> 1:17:18.680 pipe burst in spear Wood, it's been quite complicated and 1:17:18.720 --> 1:17:21.040 they haven't been able to mend it the way they 1:17:21.080 --> 1:17:24.160 normally would, so they've actually had to fabricate an entire 1:17:24.400 --> 1:17:29.600 new pipe and they're having trouble installing that. So I imagine 1:17:29.479 --> 1:17:33.320 we might still see some issues for the next few 1:17:33.400 --> 1:17:37.240 days until they can completely resolve this. At the moment 1:17:37.320 --> 1:17:40.120 that they're hoping to fix it by tomorrow, but time 1:17:40.120 --> 1:17:40.479 to sell. 1:17:41.439 --> 1:17:44.080 So I heard Ollie talk about this yesterday Evon and 1:17:44.160 --> 1:17:47.120 Bruce Lee Oval. I hope one of our listeners who 1:17:47.160 --> 1:17:51.240 lives near they've had to move house does and they 1:17:51.240 --> 1:17:53.559 were putting sand on it. I think, does it smell 1:17:53.600 --> 1:17:54.160 where you are? 1:17:55.040 --> 1:17:57.920 It doesn't smell at the moment, And to be honest, 1:17:57.960 --> 1:18:01.360 Bruce Lely, Reserved isn't the stinkiest of places we've visited. 1:18:01.600 --> 1:18:03.840 It definitely does smell, and I definitely feel for the 1:18:03.880 --> 1:18:07.400 residence now. But the one that was probably the stinkiest 1:18:07.640 --> 1:18:10.679 was one of the ponds quite close to the spear 1:18:10.720 --> 1:18:13.479 would burst, so a number of the ponds in the 1:18:13.600 --> 1:18:18.320 area had the sewage overflow into those ponds, and really 1:18:18.520 --> 1:18:21.280 the water therea is just sitting there stagnant, and their 1:18:21.360 --> 1:18:24.800 houses right you know, right there on the water, really 1:18:24.840 --> 1:18:27.280 close to it, and it just stinks. By the end 1:18:27.320 --> 1:18:29.960 of yesterday, even the back of my throat was burning 1:18:29.960 --> 1:18:31.599 from being out there all day. So I can't even 1:18:31.640 --> 1:18:33.840 imagine what it must be like living there and trying 1:18:33.840 --> 1:18:35.760 to sleep at night. You know, some residents were saying 1:18:35.920 --> 1:18:37.800 they couldn't even sleep at night because the stench was 1:18:37.840 --> 1:18:38.599 just so horrible. 1:18:38.880 --> 1:18:42.759 What's the water corporation saying today? 1:18:42.479 --> 1:18:45.920 They have owned this. I think they are responding quite well. 1:18:46.479 --> 1:18:48.960 They have apologized, and they've said, you know, they understand 1:18:48.960 --> 1:18:51.880 this is a really awful thing for people to be experiencing. 1:18:52.280 --> 1:18:55.799 They have stressed this is an extremely rare event.

He's still 1:21:38.160 --> 1:21:40.519 have stuff on a floppy disc. I'd love to hear 1:21:40.560 --> 1:21:43.400 from you today.

One double three A eighty two 1:22:15.200 --> 1:22:17.759 is the is the phone number. We're asking the question 1:22:17.800 --> 1:22:22.360 are you optimistic or pessimistic about Australia's future? The yes 1:22:22.479 --> 1:22:27.080 is are optimistic and the nose are pessimistic. Yes, says Veronica, 1:22:27.120 --> 1:22:31.439 Thank you Veronica, No, says Peter, and Alan rays a 1:22:31.439 --> 1:22:34.200 really good point about the Water Corporation and home insurance 1:22:34.280 --> 1:22:36.720 house insurance. Alan says, who's going to pay for all 1:22:36.720 --> 1:22:39.800 this mess to houses? I heard the water water cork 1:22:39.880 --> 1:22:41.960 guy I say the other day claim on your house 1:22:41.960 --> 1:22:44.640 insurance and Alan Ray is a really good point. I know. 1:22:44.680 --> 1:22:47.400 I certainly wouldn't use my insurance. I'd be using the 1:22:47.400 --> 1:22:52.000 water corporations. It's their stuff up. That's a very good point, Alan, 1:22:52.200 --> 1:22:55.920 and Steve from Golden Bay is unhappy about our approach 1:22:55.960 --> 1:23:00.360 to pessimism and approach to the water corporations stuff ups. 1:23:01.360 --> 1:23:03.840 Obviously you do not understand the complexit, even underground into 1:23:03.840 --> 1:23:06.960 connected system. Ignorance is briss bliss until it affects you. 1:23:08.560 --> 1:23:12.000 It's what effects wrong, Steve. Maintenance can only reduce downtime, 1:23:13.360 --> 1:23:15.760 not eliminate it. You talk about pessimism and contribute to 1:23:15.800 --> 1:23:19.080 it by not promoting logic or reality, Steve from Golden Bay. 1:23:19.640 --> 1:23:22.800 I'm not sure how I'm contributing to pessimism by talking 1:23:22.800 --> 1:23:26.880 about a sewage leak, Steve, but thanks for your correspondence. 1:23:27.200 --> 1:23:29.719 Luis says, seems like the water Corporation needs to issue 1:23:29.840 --> 1:23:33.320 paddles to the good burgers of Beaconsfield and the Southern suburbs. 1:23:33.960 --> 1:23:37.479 Doesn't sound great, Lou does It does not sound great, Sandy, 1:23:37.880 --> 1:23:41.360 very pessimistic. Every Australia should be very concerned for the future. 1:23:41.400 --> 1:23:44.400 We are fast heating down the track of socialism and control. 1:23:44.400 --> 1:23:47.240 And Sandy's in Waruna. Sandy, if you're in Waruna, you 1:23:47.280 --> 1:23:50.960 should be happy and not optimistic. I reckon, but thanks 1:23:51.040 --> 1:23:55.200 for your thoughts. Phil's phone in today. Phil, there you 1:23:55.240 --> 1:23:55.479 go on. 1:23:55.520 --> 1:23:59.840 Simonte calling up in regards to your previous caller about 1:23:59.840 --> 1:24:03.160 the gas charges in regards to a sixty percent plus 1:24:03.680 --> 1:24:06.639 increase to pay your bill at the post office, taking 1:24:06.720 --> 1:24:10.080 the two dollars, charging the pensioners two dollars for their 1:24:10.120 --> 1:24:13.280 paper bill and the obscene one hundred and eighty percent 1:24:13.360 --> 1:24:16.880 plus daily service charge. I think what your listeners want 1:24:17.000 --> 1:24:19.000 is for you to ring these people up and take 1:24:19.040 --> 1:24:22.960 them to task and justify it instead of just saying 1:24:22.960 --> 1:24:26.000 our wages have increased and stuff like that has and 1:24:26.080 --> 1:24:28.799 what their current profit margin is and what they're predicted 1:24:28.880 --> 1:24:31.160 profit margin needs to be. Obscene charges. 1:24:32.720 --> 1:24:35.000 Yeah, all right, we'll do mate. I take your point. 1:24:35.600 --> 1:24:39.920 What we charges go up because of admin charges go up, 1:24:39.920 --> 1:24:41.800 That was my point. So you know it costs more 1:24:41.800 --> 1:24:43.639 and more to run these institutions, but we can probably 1:24:43.640 --> 1:24:46.920 ask the question, particularly in regards to pensioners. Mate, thank 1:24:46.960 --> 1:24:52.120 you for your call today, Phil, could they. 1:24:52.080 --> 1:24:56.160 Charles, good morning, Simon. Look, I just wanted to bring 1:24:56.200 --> 1:25:00.519 attention to your listeners. In April of this year, I 1:25:00.560 --> 1:25:05.720 was given a parking infringement by a company called PMS. 1:25:06.200 --> 1:25:10.639 It's Traffic monitoring Services. Now these people are based based 1:25:10.680 --> 1:25:15.599 in Queensland and New South Wales. Now, as I understand it, 1:25:16.439 --> 1:25:21.600 no infringement companies or finance enforcement agencies outside of this 1:25:21.760 --> 1:25:27.080 state can they shoe parking fines? Okay? I looked up 1:25:27.120 --> 1:25:30.160 the legislation and also I looked up the Consumer Protection Acts. 1:25:30.320 --> 1:25:33.559 It states there that no agency outside of the original 1:25:33.600 --> 1:25:37.719 states you are in can they shue traffic infringement finds. 1:25:37.720 --> 1:25:39.880 So what I did was I wrote them a letter 1:25:40.120 --> 1:25:43.000 disusing this fine, and I said I'll give you a 1:25:43.040 --> 1:25:45.639 couple of weeks to respond to me or you would 1:25:45.680 --> 1:25:51.960 draw this fine. Never heard from them again, Simon, and 1:25:52.000 --> 1:25:54.320 I believe this has been going on for quite a while. 1:25:54.640 --> 1:25:58.680 People should question this company when they're issuing these infringement 1:25:58.800 --> 1:26:01.440 finds and challenge them. 1:26:01.640 --> 1:26:04.840 And Charles, where was the fine was? It on private property. 1:26:04.920 --> 1:26:06.280 Was it in the shopping center car park? 1:26:07.280 --> 1:26:10.559 It was in the shopping complex sort of like a 1:26:10.600 --> 1:26:14.519 fitness center and a chemist warehouse and the doctor surgery 1:26:14.560 --> 1:26:18.000 there somewhere around there. Even if these people hired these 1:26:18.000 --> 1:26:19.519 people outside, it is illegal. 1:26:19.800 --> 1:26:20.599 They have to hire. 1:26:20.479 --> 1:26:24.880 People from within the state to monitor the fine infringement. 1:26:24.880 --> 1:26:26.320 So you haven't heard it back and you haven't had 1:26:26.320 --> 1:26:27.920 to pay the fine. How much was the fine? 1:26:28.840 --> 1:26:29.879 Seventy seven dollars? 1:26:30.120 --> 1:26:33.439 All right, so you've overstayed and you haven't heard back, 1:26:33.439 --> 1:26:35.480 so you're going to pay the fine. 1:26:36.320 --> 1:26:39.519 No, never heard from them again? Never? Yeah, okay, So 1:26:39.640 --> 1:26:43.720 I suggest any listeners who are listening to your program, 1:26:43.920 --> 1:26:48.439 the company is TMS Traffic Monitoring Services. They have a base. 1:26:49.760 --> 1:26:52.120 They are based in Queensland and New South Wales only 1:26:52.600 --> 1:26:53.800 not in Western Australia. 1:26:53.880 --> 1:26:55.639 Yeah, all right, well I'll tell you what Charles.

Could you get 1:30:05.920 --> 1:30:07.120 a master's here in w A. 1:30:08.160 --> 1:30:12.520 Not at this very second, but all all the universities 1:30:12.520 --> 1:30:15.920 are working with the AQF as to what are the 1:30:15.960 --> 1:30:19.400 requirements around that degree yep, so that they can actually 1:30:19.400 --> 1:30:20.160 offer that course. 1:30:20.360 --> 1:30:24.000 Yeah okay, So what do you I mean pharmacists, You know, 1:30:24.040 --> 1:30:27.320 that's a that's a tough qualification. I know talking to 1:30:27.360 --> 1:30:30.479 you and Andrew and other pharmacists, you do do refresher 1:30:30.520 --> 1:30:34.200 courses and update and upgrade your professional calls as you go. 1:30:35.040 --> 1:30:37.160 Do you think farmacists will take this up? 1:30:38.680 --> 1:30:41.960 Yeah, so the demand is actually hard to tell, but generally, 1:30:42.000 --> 1:30:43.800 the anecdotal feed that we've had from a lot of 1:30:43.800 --> 1:30:47.400 people is that they're really excited by this. It's finally 1:30:47.400 --> 1:30:53.519 the recognition that I think farms have actually well, I 1:30:53.560 --> 1:30:56.200 think they're finally getting the recognition that they deserve for 1:30:56.360 --> 1:31:01.120 the place that they hold within the broader healthcare framework. 1:31:01.320 --> 1:31:04.320 Yeah. Well, yeah, as you know, I've long been a supporter, 1:31:04.400 --> 1:31:07.640 and that's it's important to have a good pharmacist in 1:31:07.680 --> 1:31:10.400 your life, is it your small business owners as well 1:31:11.040 --> 1:31:12.519 as well as been you know, as well as having 1:31:12.600 --> 1:31:14.599 the Quarrells and perhaps running a little team of people 1:31:15.200 --> 1:31:17.800 and all of that. Will it come down to an 1:31:17.840 --> 1:31:19.360 individual decision, do you think, Andrew? 1:31:21.520 --> 1:31:21.680 So? 1:31:21.800 --> 1:31:25.960 I think to the future, the base degree will basically 1:31:26.240 --> 1:31:29.360 have a doctorate title attached for so, I think the 1:31:29.400 --> 1:31:33.759 base degree will end up being a Level nine Masters. 1:31:34.400 --> 1:31:36.600 But there will obviously be a lot of people like 1:31:36.680 --> 1:31:40.080 myself who do need to do the let's say that 1:31:40.200 --> 1:31:42.559 the retrofitting based on their base degree. 1:31:42.760 --> 1:31:45.680 Yeah, completely understand, Andrew. Thank you for having a chat 1:31:45.720 --> 1:31:48.519 to us today. Good on, thanks you time. Thanks Simon 1:31:48.600 --> 1:31:51.240 good Andrew Niaw the president of the w A branch 1:31:51.240 --> 1:31:54.559 of the Pharmacy Guild of Australia. Whatever can listeners, there 1:31:54.560 --> 1:31:57.000 will be there will be pharmacists who do have a 1:31:57.080 --> 1:32:01.720 master's and they can be called because their little name 1:32:01.760 --> 1:32:05.240 on there. Now they have those little lanyard, the little 1:32:05.240 --> 1:32:08.200 plat what do they call badges, They sorry have those 1:32:08.240 --> 1:32:11.920 badges on the uniforms. Have a doctor and the might 1:32:11.920 --> 1:32:15.640 have doctor on the on their title on the on 1:32:15.720 --> 1:32:18.160 the thing on the wall, pharmacist in residence. You know 1:32:18.160 --> 1:32:19.640 when you go to different pharmacies and they have a 1:32:19.640 --> 1:32:22.040 different person in each day. They could be a doctor. 1:32:23.680 --> 1:32:27.880 Some people get become honorary doctors, don't they. I think 1:32:29.680 --> 1:32:33.320 I believe Andrew Forrest. I believe Twiggy has a qualification. 1:32:33.439 --> 1:32:36.599 He's a doctor. Karl Khushinishki has one. I think Richard 1:32:36.640 --> 1:32:40.200 Wally is a doctor and that's I think that's an 1:32:40.200 --> 1:32:45.320 academic qualification. God Richard, if you're listening, Kathy Freeman, I 1:32:45.320 --> 1:32:48.280 think has A is a doctor. I'm not sure if 1:32:48.280 --> 1:32:50.800 that's honorary or that's academic. Happy to hear from you 1:32:50.800 --> 1:32:54.840 today twenty two minutes past eleven, Chris says, I know 1:32:54.840 --> 1:32:56.920 people who are certified engineers. They don't deserve to be 1:32:56.920 --> 1:33:00.439 called engineers. Why would I call a pharmacist a doctor, Chris, 1:33:00.760 --> 1:33:04.200 I don't know. I mean the legislation has changed. The 1:33:04.479 --> 1:33:07.519 federal legislation has changed, mate, so I'd love to hear 1:33:07.520 --> 1:33:11.400 from it. Glenn says, a pressure knuckling the sewer pipe 1:33:11.680 --> 1:33:14.240 caused an explosive backflow in our former house. It completely 1:33:14.320 --> 1:33:17.519 flooded with human waste in and out up to our ankles. 1:33:18.000 --> 1:33:21.200 That's JACKI Glenn. That happened was also our first home open. 1:33:21.200 --> 1:33:24.479 We were selling. Watercourt pulled us up in the Broadwater Hotel, 1:33:24.960 --> 1:33:28.160 so obviously this is in Bustleton replaced all doors, floor coverings, 1:33:28.160 --> 1:33:31.479 painted the walls, and steam cleaned the house. When we 1:33:31.520 --> 1:33:34.680 sold the following month, someone comented that our front and 1:33:34.720 --> 1:33:37.040 back dlowns are extremely green and the fittings all look new. 1:33:37.439 --> 1:33:39.559 They wanted to know what fertilizer I use. I just smiled, 1:33:39.600 --> 1:33:43.479 says Glenn. Thank you, Glenn, appreciate that one double one 1:33:43.520 --> 1:33:46.519 double three eight two mentioned this before and ask the 1:33:46.600 --> 1:33:50.200 question do you still in your computing, your IT kit, 1:33:50.240 --> 1:33:54.519 your IT ecosystem. Do you still use floppy disks and 1:33:54.680 --> 1:33:58.320 or Windows ninety five? There are institutions in the States 1:33:59.000 --> 1:34:03.599 aviations that still use old kit. Trevor Long joins us. 1:34:03.600 --> 1:34:06.080 We borrowed him from OLI just for the date. Hi, 1:34:06.200 --> 1:34:09.439 trev good mate. How you doing going? Very well? Where 1:34:09.479 --> 1:34:09.760 are you? 1:34:10.960 --> 1:34:16.800 I'm in Cupertino, California, at Apple's headquarters for event this week. 1:34:17.200 --> 1:34:19.840 Very nice? Well, I won't still OLI stun because, no 1:34:19.920 --> 1:34:21.960 doubt he want to chat to you about that. But 1:34:22.040 --> 1:34:25.200 do you still wreck? Do you think? Do you see 1:34:25.240 --> 1:34:27.160 people still using floppy disk? 1:34:27.200 --> 1:34:32.759 Trev No, you don't because it's always behind the scenes. 1:34:33.000 --> 1:34:36.120 So it's either a nerd like me who has a 1:34:36.160 --> 1:34:38.120 computer from the old days that he wants to play 1:34:38.120 --> 1:34:40.639 some game that's literally only for that computer and only 1:34:40.680 --> 1:34:44.960 on that floppy disc. Or it's an institution an organization 1:34:45.040 --> 1:34:48.320 with a system that is so ingrained in what they 1:34:48.400 --> 1:34:52.360 do that it's simply never been replicated in modern systems, 1:34:52.439 --> 1:34:55.120 and or the cost to move on to a modern 1:34:55.160 --> 1:34:59.040 system would be phenomenal and never made it past any 1:34:59.040 --> 1:35:00.360 business case, And. 1:35:00.320 --> 1:35:02.040 That would be the same as Windows ninety five. 1:35:02.080 --> 1:35:05.920 Would it spot on you know the thing about Windows 1:35:05.960 --> 1:35:09.240 ninety five, right, people will go and look. Windows ten 1:35:09.400 --> 1:35:11.400 I think goes out of support at the end of 1:35:11.439 --> 1:35:14.760 this year, which means that Microsoft won't support it as 1:35:14.760 --> 1:35:18.280 an operating system, and even after that, at some point 1:35:18.360 --> 1:35:20.160 it'll be to the point where they won't even make 1:35:20.200 --> 1:35:22.320 security updates. But here's the thing about Windows ninety five. 1:35:22.360 --> 1:35:25.720 Even though it was an online operating system. The systems 1:35:25.720 --> 1:35:28.759 that specifically here the FAA are using for air traffic control, 1:35:29.080 --> 1:35:31.800 they're not on the Internet. They're just computers. They just 1:35:31.920 --> 1:35:35.720 needed computers that could do a task, that task being 1:35:35.720 --> 1:35:39.000 you know, print out on a dot matrix printer a 1:35:39.040 --> 1:35:43.080 flight plan or a particular plane. They're not connected and 1:35:43.120 --> 1:35:47.120 so they're actually quite safe and therefore secure. So the 1:35:47.160 --> 1:35:50.280 cost of replacing a system like that would be enormous, 1:35:50.640 --> 1:35:53.360 and you can imagine that managers at different levels over 1:35:53.479 --> 1:35:56.599 many decades have gone, Nah, we're not spending that billions 1:35:56.680 --> 1:35:59.880 of dollars, and as a consequence, we're left with cys 1:36:00.240 --> 1:36:03.599 that are absolutely out of date and hard to now 1:36:03.760 --> 1:36:04.880 maintain and fix. 1:36:06.560 --> 1:36:11.600 I know my dad who use a lot of photo programs, 1:36:11.600 --> 1:36:14.040 trev and he was always frustrated that he just couldn't 1:36:14.200 --> 1:36:16.280 you know, we just couldn't use the same one year 1:36:16.320 --> 1:36:19.960 after year after year. So his generation wanted a computer 1:36:20.040 --> 1:36:22.640 to work in the same way forever. 1:36:23.520 --> 1:36:26.960 And with no change. Like, I get calls so often 1:36:27.040 --> 1:36:29.519 from people, whether it's on Oli show, on my podcast wherever, 1:36:29.880 --> 1:36:32.840 that they're frustrated by the way something changed. You know, 1:36:33.080 --> 1:36:35.320 software changes every year now and that like that's what 1:36:35.360 --> 1:36:38.360 Apple's doing this week. It's people don't like change. They 1:36:38.360 --> 1:36:42.320 don't love change. And when you've got processes that especially 1:36:42.400 --> 1:36:45.360 running aviation, running air traffic control, you don't want to 1:36:45.400 --> 1:36:49.280 have to educate every single person on a change in 1:36:49.280 --> 1:36:52.960 the way the software works essentially overnight. So stick with 1:36:53.080 --> 1:36:55.800 something that works. And that's why people do hold onto 1:36:55.840 --> 1:36:58.120 their Windows computers. There will be people listening who have 1:36:58.160 --> 1:37:01.599 Windows ten and have no desire upgrade because they don't 1:37:01.640 --> 1:37:04.400 want the fancy differences that come with Windows eleven. They're 1:37:04.479 --> 1:37:07.400 quite happy with what they've got. You just got to 1:37:07.439 --> 1:37:09.280 know what risks you're exposing yourself to. 1:37:09.560 --> 1:37:12.840 Yeah, as long as they can play solitaire. Hey Trevan, 1:37:13.080 --> 1:37:14.840 thanks to the chat. What are you on with Oli next? 1:37:15.880 --> 1:37:17.439 I should be on Thursday afternoon? 1:37:17.520 --> 1:37:19.679 All right? Do you like him? 1:37:20.000 --> 1:37:23.759 He's a goodbye imean. I'll give him that, all right, Okay, 1:37:24.560 --> 1:37:26.799 damned by fat check you know my address? 1:37:27.000 --> 1:37:31.559 Hit, damn by faint praise. Hey, good to talk to you, mate. 1:37:31.560 --> 1:37:33.840 I'm sure you'll bring Olie's listeners up to date with Cooper, 1:37:33.920 --> 1:37:38.479 Tino and all everything there or thanks trev See you mate, 1:37:38.720 --> 1:37:40.840 Trevor Long.

You might be running solitaire 1:37:48.160 --> 1:37:50.880 and you know an email system. I love to hear 1:37:50.920 --> 1:37:54.080 from you.

We actually launched the Salara, which is 1:43:22.320 --> 1:43:24.680 basically bring a new dawn for river cruising into the 1:43:24.680 --> 1:43:28.280 Australian marketplace on the twenty fifth of April, and what 1:43:28.320 --> 1:43:30.960 we actually did was reimagined how river cruising should be 1:43:31.000 --> 1:43:33.760 for the Australian passengers. So we really change it up 1:43:33.800 --> 1:43:36.120 because quite often most of our passengers do the amps 1:43:36.600 --> 1:43:40.920 Pest and they do basically this fantastic fifteen night cruise, 1:43:41.200 --> 1:43:43.240 but they do forty one meals on board the ship. 1:43:43.680 --> 1:43:47.120 Quite often the river cruise companies, as Dave said, you know, 1:43:47.280 --> 1:43:49.640 we actually find that people won't from Australia to a 1:43:49.720 --> 1:43:52.439 seven night cruise. We do the fifteen day so you 1:43:52.520 --> 1:43:55.519 have so many meals on board. We find that it's 1:43:55.560 --> 1:43:57.559 important to have choice, and most of the river cruise 1:43:57.600 --> 1:44:00.320 companies offer two or three restaurants. We've actual You're born 1:44:00.400 --> 1:44:03.720 in six as well as you know, less guests as well, 1:44:03.880 --> 1:44:06.519 sixty staff, one hundred and fifty four guests on board 1:44:07.320 --> 1:44:09.080 and our new restaurant which is Fabulus. I think you 1:44:09.120 --> 1:44:12.519 need to go on board, Simon, but it's called the 1:44:12.560 --> 1:44:15.400 groooner bar and it's actually a world first as well, 1:44:15.680 --> 1:44:18.600 and that's internationally. And what it is is actually a 1:44:18.600 --> 1:44:21.400 bar on hydraulic lifts that goes to the sun deck. 1:44:21.680 --> 1:44:23.960 So what happens is your clients go on board, they 1:44:23.960 --> 1:44:27.439 have a beautiful maybe cocktail, enjoy the sunset over the 1:44:27.880 --> 1:44:30.439 you know, the Rhyan River, and then go on basically 1:44:30.479 --> 1:44:32.560 back to the Gruner Bar and have three hundred and 1:44:32.560 --> 1:44:36.320 sixty good views of the beautiful waterlands and all of 1:44:36.360 --> 1:44:40.080 the attractions around Europe and enjoy fantastic meal as well 1:44:40.080 --> 1:44:43.200 with their fellow guests. So six different restaurants. On top 1:44:43.240 --> 1:44:45.559 of that, we've also got in room dining as well 1:44:45.800 --> 1:44:49.880 as standard E bike's on board spas. We've got the gymnasium, 1:44:49.880 --> 1:44:52.880 and we've got all of the entertainment. We've got fitness classes, 1:44:53.160 --> 1:44:55.240 the whole lot for the Australian guests. So we're really 1:44:55.240 --> 1:44:56.320 excited about the new ships. 1:44:56.400 --> 1:44:58.479 Yeah, well E Bikes as well. That's the voice of 1:44:58.520 --> 1:45:01.240 Joe Ellie's folks. She's from ap T, state sales manager 1:45:01.280 --> 1:45:03.519 for US South Australian Inte. And if you want to 1:45:03.560 --> 1:45:06.000 call the guys, you can one double three eight to 1:45:06.040 --> 1:45:09.680 eighty two marx Is a few years ago. But I 1:45:09.720 --> 1:45:13.240 did a cruise from I'm gonna mispronounce this, I reckon 1:45:13.320 --> 1:45:15.920 Joe cem reaped a ho Chi minh you about you? 1:45:16.120 --> 1:45:16.280 Yes? 1:45:16.320 --> 1:45:18.839 Absolutely, yeah, yeah, incredibly popular. 1:45:19.120 --> 1:45:21.840 Yeah it is. It's one of the really popular river cruisers. 1:45:21.920 --> 1:45:24.599 The absolutely stunning because you get to see a bit 1:45:24.600 --> 1:45:28.280 of everything absolute and like with apt everything's included so 1:45:28.280 --> 1:45:30.120 you don't have to You've got no bill at the 1:45:30.200 --> 1:45:31.760 end of the day of the yeah, and you get 1:45:31.760 --> 1:45:34.000 to say stunning highlights and history and all sorts. 1:45:34.479 --> 1:45:37.160 Dave and Joe. When we first started doing Big Can 1:45:37.200 --> 1:45:39.840 Travel segments on this show years and years ago, it 1:45:39.880 --> 1:45:43.000 was about packing once and unpacking once, just having to 1:45:43.000 --> 1:45:44.720 do it once and that that's what people love. But 1:45:44.760 --> 1:45:47.920 also this this notion of hopping off when you wanted 1:45:47.960 --> 1:45:50.320 to going to have a stroll on Terror Firm or 1:45:50.320 --> 1:45:52.040 if you want a tour, staying on the vessel. That's 1:45:52.439 --> 1:45:54.519 that's still very much an Australian thing to do, isn't 1:45:54.520 --> 1:45:55.760 it that choice? Day by day? 1:45:55.920 --> 1:45:58.720 Yeah, definitely, Like there's nothing stopping you, so like you 1:45:58.720 --> 1:46:00.360 can do all the tools that are include, or you 1:46:00.400 --> 1:46:02.120 can wander around the town or get on the e 1:46:02.200 --> 1:46:04.200 bikes yourself if you want to go. If the ship's 1:46:04.240 --> 1:46:06.639 there later at night, go have dinner off the ship 1:46:06.640 --> 1:46:10.080 as well. So's there's plenty of flexibility to be able 1:46:10.080 --> 1:46:10.880 to do anything you want. 1:46:10.920 --> 1:46:14.200 Really like the sound that bar Joe in the Garunava 1:46:14.439 --> 1:46:17.519 how good one level three eight eighty two a river 1:46:17.560 --> 1:46:21.000 cruise with apt what's this point of difference, Joe, I think. 1:46:20.800 --> 1:46:23.200 The fact that we are an Australian company. We actually 1:46:23.200 --> 1:46:25.679 got Hicica Gruthri, which is based out of the East 1:46:25.680 --> 1:46:28.800 Coast to design the ships, so it's actually designed for 1:46:28.840 --> 1:46:31.040 the Australian passenger and that's what we do for all 1:46:31.080 --> 1:46:33.280 of our products, whereas a lot of the companies now 1:46:33.439 --> 1:46:37.080 internationally based so they're really focus on other tastes. But 1:46:37.160 --> 1:46:39.920 I find traveling with like minded individuals is really good. 1:46:40.280 --> 1:46:42.280 It's nice to catch up with people as well, and 1:46:42.320 --> 1:46:45.040 I just find it's just a it's a beautiful product, 1:46:45.040 --> 1:46:47.559 but it's also got that Australian relaxed ease on board 1:46:47.560 --> 1:46:49.880 as well, the fact that we're fully inclusive the flat, 1:46:49.960 --> 1:46:52.880 we don't charge tipping. Everyone hates tipping. We don't know 1:46:52.880 --> 1:46:54.320 how to do it in our culture. So it's like 1:46:54.360 --> 1:46:57.200 we don't do that, we make it a really beautiful experience, 1:46:57.320 --> 1:46:59.599 be able to be have a great experience. I guess 1:46:59.680 --> 1:47:02.000 there a platform to do as much as they want 1:47:02.000 --> 1:47:03.960 to do, as Dave said, or as little as they 1:47:03.960 --> 1:47:04.439 want as well. 1:47:04.479 --> 1:47:07.120 Yeah, so really easy, well explained. If like's ring and 1:47:07.120 --> 1:47:08.840 you can one double three eight E two, have a 1:47:08.880 --> 1:47:12.080 chat to Joe Elis from APT or Dave Armstrong from 1:47:12.160 --> 1:47:14.360 Victim Travel and just you remind he can save two 1:47:14.400 --> 1:47:17.120 hundred and fifty dollars per person for a bigden or 1:47:17.200 --> 1:47:20.000 CCT travel. It's got to be a seven day or 1:47:20.120 --> 1:47:22.920 longer tour or cruise. Just mentioned six pr when you 1:47:23.040 --> 1:47:25.160 ring in and two hundred and fifty dollars a head 1:47:25.200 --> 1:47:27.519 can be taken off the bill. So that's the idea 1:47:27.520 --> 1:47:30.080 of the e bikes is use them on land. Yeah, 1:47:30.160 --> 1:47:33.439 so like I race around the ship on them, No. 1:47:33.800 --> 1:47:36.680 They've got the dim for that. But yeah, you can 1:47:36.680 --> 1:47:38.160 take them around that. They give you a little guides 1:47:38.200 --> 1:47:39.840 or give you maps on every town that you're in 1:47:39.880 --> 1:47:41.600 and basically you can take off or you can do 1:47:41.640 --> 1:47:44.040 your own thing and follow the guide and stop at 1:47:44.040 --> 1:47:46.439 a pub if you wanted to, or right along the 1:47:46.600 --> 1:47:49.360 vineyards as well, Like, that's a few obstions that you 1:47:49.400 --> 1:47:49.560 can do. 1:47:50.240 --> 1:47:52.519 I think there's a stretch about thirty k's between Milk 1:47:52.560 --> 1:47:55.760 and Durnstein which has got heaps of wineries between and 1:47:55.840 --> 1:47:57.640 some guests I'm going to grab an e bike and 1:47:57.640 --> 1:47:59.360 off they go, and we have a guide at the back. 1:47:59.400 --> 1:48:01.800 Because people do stop at the breweries, they stop at 1:48:01.800 --> 1:48:03.519 the wineries, AND's like we've got to keep going to 1:48:03.560 --> 1:48:06.439 meet the ship at the other end. They really enjoy 1:48:06.479 --> 1:48:06.680 it too. 1:48:06.800 --> 1:48:09.400 Yeah, how good is that? It's great if the vessel 1:48:09.479 --> 1:48:10.640 keeps going and you catch up with it. 1:48:10.800 --> 1:48:13.000 Correct. They give us away from the top deck.

I've been looking at the river cruisers in 1:49:25.439 --> 1:49:30.400 Europe roughly around Christmas time, possibly around Christmas time for 1:49:30.439 --> 1:49:31.080 the markets. 1:49:31.640 --> 1:49:32.639 How do these river. 1:49:32.560 --> 1:49:38.920 Cruisers accommodate somebody with a mobility issue that uses a 1:49:38.960 --> 1:49:41.960 four will walker because some of the itineraries have got 1:49:42.000 --> 1:49:46.080 a lot of walking tours or guides or bits and 1:49:46.120 --> 1:49:48.439 purses in them, So how does that shape up? And 1:49:48.479 --> 1:49:49.920 also the accommodation on the. 1:49:49.840 --> 1:49:51.320 Boat for sure, great question. 1:49:51.439 --> 1:49:51.599 Ian. 1:49:51.720 --> 1:49:55.360 We certainly get quite a few clients who have mobility issues, 1:49:55.800 --> 1:49:59.040 and what we find that the challenges is, I think 1:49:59.080 --> 1:50:01.680 mainly in the tw because it is a lot of 1:50:01.680 --> 1:50:05.240 the towns are absolutely beautiful, but they couplestone streets. So 1:50:05.280 --> 1:50:08.120 what we often do is speak to the guest beforehand, 1:50:08.240 --> 1:50:11.759 make sure that it is what they can physically manage, 1:50:12.080 --> 1:50:15.000 as well as us have the cruise director on board, 1:50:15.040 --> 1:50:17.880 have a conversation with the group as well of a 1:50:17.920 --> 1:50:20.920 couple and really give them an understanding of what's ahead 1:50:21.280 --> 1:50:23.320 and if they want to maybe stay on board, if 1:50:23.360 --> 1:50:25.200 they want to just go to somewhere close and do 1:50:25.320 --> 1:50:27.680 some people watching watch the world go by, or if 1:50:27.680 --> 1:50:29.720 they want to actually go on the tour if it 1:50:29.800 --> 1:50:31.720 is a long distance. Quite often we do have a 1:50:31.720 --> 1:50:33.519 coach and we'll be able to put that four wheeler 1:50:33.880 --> 1:50:36.920 underneath the coach to make things easier, but the cobblestones 1:50:36.920 --> 1:50:40.639 can be quite challenging for any sort of mobility aid. 1:50:41.000 --> 1:50:43.080 The other thing that we have to stress as well 1:50:43.160 --> 1:50:47.280 is the actual porta throw do provide the ramps as well, 1:50:47.640 --> 1:50:50.759 so we can't guarantee we always request a wheelchair ramp, 1:50:50.800 --> 1:50:53.280 but they won't guarantee they'll provide it. So that's a 1:50:53.400 --> 1:50:56.840 challenge across all river cruising unfortunately. But it's as long 1:50:56.880 --> 1:50:59.040 as you can walk that game plank. That's probably the 1:50:59.120 --> 1:51:01.560 most important thing you've got to remember. But if you 1:51:01.600 --> 1:51:03.439 want to have a chat with me at Bigton Travel, 1:51:03.479 --> 1:51:05.960 you're welcome to call and we can discuss it more 1:51:06.200 --> 1:51:07.560 and more details. 1:51:08.040 --> 1:51:09.240 Okay, then, thank you very much. 1:51:09.280 --> 1:51:10.160 You've asked my question. 1:51:10.280 --> 1:51:13.920 Jeez, thank you, Thanks you, Corleen, thank you. Good lucky day, Allen. 1:51:15.920 --> 1:51:19.640 Good ay, how are you yeah going well mate? 1:51:20.120 --> 1:51:26.720 Yeah, Look, my query is the premium for single travelers. 1:51:26.920 --> 1:51:33.240 What's been done, particularly for cruising to provide more access 1:51:33.320 --> 1:51:38.200 for single people traveling without the sort of single premium. 1:51:38.880 --> 1:51:43.160 I've just recently moved into a lifestyle village and just 1:51:43.240 --> 1:51:45.600 talking to the other residents, the number of people that 1:51:45.680 --> 1:51:49.439 would travel more or would like to travel, but the 1:51:49.439 --> 1:51:53.040 single premium is what kills them. It just seems that 1:51:53.120 --> 1:51:55.960 they cutting out a lot of potential travelers. 1:51:56.400 --> 1:51:59.519 Absolutely. I think we hear that feedback quite a bit, Ellen, 1:51:59.600 --> 1:52:01.439 So thank you, thank you for calling. We do have 1:52:01.479 --> 1:52:04.040 a single Traveler club which quite often we do have 1:52:04.120 --> 1:52:07.920 some great single deals available, so I'd recommend probably giving 1:52:07.920 --> 1:52:10.800 Bigden Traveler call that can sign you up to the newsletter. 1:52:11.000 --> 1:52:13.960 Quite often these maybe you know, three, four, five months 1:52:13.960 --> 1:52:15.840 in advance, but at least they are a really good 1:52:15.880 --> 1:52:19.479 deal and quite often have no single supplement attached to those. 1:52:19.520 --> 1:52:22.800 So there is definitely some great offers. There's probably just 1:52:22.880 --> 1:52:25.240 accessing them and having a chat to bigd and Travel 1:52:25.320 --> 1:52:27.439 or Claimant Cruise and Travel to make sure you're on 1:52:27.479 --> 1:52:28.200 that list. 1:52:28.400 --> 1:52:31.599 Also on larger cruise ships on the more the ocean 1:52:31.640 --> 1:52:35.479 ships that are now building dedicated single cabins, even on 1:52:35.520 --> 1:52:38.200 some river ships now they're starting to pop up, so 1:52:38.280 --> 1:52:40.880 they're a bit of a smaller cabin but perfect for 1:52:40.920 --> 1:52:43.120 one person and they don't really attract any kind of 1:52:43.160 --> 1:52:44.040 surcharge on the middle. 1:52:44.120 --> 1:52:44.280 Yeah. 1:52:44.320 --> 1:52:45.960 I remember it's changing a few years ago. Didn't that 1:52:45.960 --> 1:52:48.720 there's a big move towards single travel. Ye, definitely, and 1:52:48.800 --> 1:52:50.360 maybe sign up for one of the one of the 1:52:50.360 --> 1:52:52.080 clubs what's according in Joe. 1:52:51.880 --> 1:52:53.040 Are the Solo Traveler Club. 1:52:53.120 --> 1:52:54.479 Solo Travel Club. Have a look at that. 1:52:54.560 --> 1:52:54.680 OL. 1:52:55.000 --> 1:52:57.080 Good to hear from you, mate, Thank you hi Brad. 1:53:00.160 --> 1:53:01.080 How are you Brad? We got you? 1:53:02.400 --> 1:53:02.599 Hey? 1:53:02.680 --> 1:53:03.640 J Bowie, how are you? 1:53:03.960 --> 1:53:06.400 Yeah, well, Brad, where are you today? What are you driving? 1:53:06.439 --> 1:53:07.040 Where are you going? 1:53:08.720 --> 1:53:11.240 Full of my road train on my Marvel road. 1:53:13.040 --> 1:53:14.160 Well, the middle of nowhere. 1:53:16.920 --> 1:53:20.559 That's the story of Okay, that's middle yet, go on. 1:53:20.720 --> 1:53:21.559 Okay, So. 1:53:23.000 --> 1:53:26.720 Your guests you have in there looking at traveling the 1:53:26.760 --> 1:53:30.160 Meat Kong on a river cruise just after what time 1:53:30.200 --> 1:53:34.160 of year? And probably you know which are the lines 1:53:34.200 --> 1:53:36.439 to look for and the ones to steer away from. 1:53:36.560 --> 1:53:38.519 Well, the one is a lot of experience. 1:53:39.640 --> 1:53:45.120 Well, yeah, I assume that, sorry, and. 1:53:45.040 --> 1:53:46.720 I can I can go out. I can vouch for 1:53:46.760 --> 1:53:50.320 Brad's character and personnality. He'd be he'd be good. 1:53:50.160 --> 1:53:53.000 Traveler, absolutely, Brad. I think there's a couple of choices 1:53:53.040 --> 1:53:55.040 if if you get a chance when you're when you're 1:53:55.120 --> 1:53:56.840 one of the truck stops, have a look on the 1:53:56.880 --> 1:53:59.639 other a p touring dot com dot au or travel 1:53:59.680 --> 1:54:01.960 Marvel dot com dot au. And they don't have all 1:54:01.960 --> 1:54:04.479 these really great deals, especially with we're just talking in 1:54:04.479 --> 1:54:07.040 the break actually about Vietnam and Cambodian how much great 1:54:07.120 --> 1:54:11.200 value it is. The accommodation is incredible and it's really 1:54:11.200 --> 1:54:13.120 well priced. So if you look at a product like 1:54:13.120 --> 1:54:14.840 travel marb which is sort of three and a half 1:54:14.920 --> 1:54:17.840 to four star. You're going to get excellent service, really 1:54:17.840 --> 1:54:20.559 really good value as well. So look at both brands. 1:54:20.560 --> 1:54:23.320 Bicton have got the discount on top of the market 1:54:23.320 --> 1:54:25.360 office that we've got on there and they can quote 1:54:25.360 --> 1:54:27.400 it up for you. But I'd probably look at sort 1:54:27.439 --> 1:54:31.360 of going properly between that November December, January, February March. 1:54:31.400 --> 1:54:32.760 I'm not sure if you'd say the same thing. 1:54:32.880 --> 1:54:34.720 Would probably say the same thing, yeah, because after that 1:54:34.760 --> 1:54:36.640 you start get the wet season come through and you 1:54:36.720 --> 1:54:40.240 get really humid and sticky and absolutely perfect time to travel. 1:54:41.320 --> 1:54:41.960 How's that, Brad? 1:54:43.320 --> 1:54:45.280 Yeah, March is out on the year. We go every 1:54:45.360 --> 1:54:47.440 year in March we go somewhere for our anniversary, so 1:54:47.520 --> 1:54:48.600 that's perfect. 1:54:48.920 --> 1:54:50.800 Let us know it's your anniversary as well. Make sure 1:54:50.840 --> 1:54:52.480 we make a bit of a fuss for you as well. 1:54:52.520 --> 1:54:53.000 On the day. 1:54:55.280 --> 1:54:57.240 You'll save my wife, would you make it fast anyway? 1:54:57.280 --> 1:54:57.839 She's amazing. 1:54:58.240 --> 1:55:03.800 I love it a little something for everyone from me today. 1:55:03.840 --> 1:55:09.000 Hey mate, drive carefully, Brad Hay, Yeah, well take care. 1:55:09.280 --> 1:55:11.480 So Brad's on the Marble Bar Road, which for years 1:55:11.520 --> 1:55:13.520 and years was an unsealed road and it's now sealed, 1:55:13.560 --> 1:55:16.560 So that's I think marble bars three hundred caves from 1:55:16.600 --> 1:55:19.560 human and another gone's two cased for humans, so that 1:55:19.720 --> 1:55:21.800 is really right in the middle of the pilbro there. 1:55:21.800 --> 1:55:25.240 There's there's some are bodies around, but yeah, bra Brad's 1:55:25.240 --> 1:55:28.040 one of our listeners. And once once he's on your list, Joe, 1:55:28.960 --> 1:55:29.760 you'll never get rid of it. 1:55:29.760 --> 1:55:32.520 You'll be great ambassador in the outback. 1:55:32.680 --> 1:55:35.560 He'll be an ambassador two and fifty brothers per person 1:55:35.600 --> 1:55:38.040 for Bigton Travel and claimont Cruz for travel book within 1:55:38.080 --> 1:55:40.240 the week, so within that, you know, over the next 1:55:40.280 --> 1:55:43.800 seven days needs to be a seven day cruise or longer. 1:55:43.840 --> 1:55:46.000 You're a big rap for this meek On thing, having 1:55:46.080 --> 1:55:47.120 done it four months ago, aren't you. 1:55:47.280 --> 1:55:47.440 Yeah? 1:55:47.560 --> 1:55:47.880 Love it. 1:55:47.880 --> 1:55:49.560 I've actually done it a couple of times. I loved 1:55:49.600 --> 1:55:51.400 it so much I said to my partner we've got 1:55:51.400 --> 1:55:53.640 to go back and do it out of work. So 1:55:54.120 --> 1:55:56.280 he loved it, and then we did the hoy Ron 1:55:56.320 --> 1:55:58.200 stop as well. But I just love the people. I 1:55:58.240 --> 1:56:01.920 think they're just so welcoming right product, it's got fantastic 1:56:01.960 --> 1:56:05.040 food and great service and an amazing price as well, 1:56:05.080 --> 1:56:07.160 so it's really got everything and it's so handy from birth. 1:56:07.280 --> 1:56:09.720 Yeah. Dave Armstrong's with us as well. That's the voice 1:56:09.760 --> 1:56:12.600 of Joe Ellis. You can hear from apt Dave. Anything 1:56:12.600 --> 1:56:15.000 that's taking off at the moment that you know, we've 1:56:15.040 --> 1:56:17.880 talked about Vietnam, but anything else that's flying along. 1:56:18.080 --> 1:56:20.600 Japan is always a big one at the moment because 1:56:20.600 --> 1:56:23.200 we're coming up to probably starting of the ski season. 1:56:23.240 --> 1:56:27.480 Kind of bookings. Canada's going absolutely nice, yeah, which is 1:56:27.520 --> 1:56:31.760 really surprising. Yeah, and of course Europe is always popular, 1:56:31.800 --> 1:56:34.080 but more we've seen more Scandinavia and things like that, 1:56:34.080 --> 1:56:37.080 which is great. So in Iceland and that kind of 1:56:37.080 --> 1:56:37.640 place as well. 1:56:37.720 --> 1:56:39.720 So I know it's Japan taking off ten or fifteen 1:56:39.760 --> 1:56:41.840 years ago, and it is people skiing, isn't it. So 1:56:41.920 --> 1:56:44.320 some of my Surfy mates during the winter go ahead 1:56:44.360 --> 1:56:44.760 up there too. 1:56:44.800 --> 1:56:46.840 There's more Australians and Japanese. I'm pretty sure in some 1:56:46.840 --> 1:56:47.600 of the locations. 1:56:47.760 --> 1:56:50.560 Yeah, I hadn't listened to the station yesterday. She might 1:56:50.600 --> 1:56:52.920 have run Milsey. I think she had a big birthday 1:56:52.920 --> 1:56:55.720 coming up. She was taking the whole family to Japan. 1:56:55.880 --> 1:56:58.240 So what are people doing in Canada? They're skiing as well. 1:56:58.560 --> 1:57:02.560 No more like tours like especially like with jos Has 1:57:03.000 --> 1:57:06.120 apt has great tours through there, but Rocky Mountain now 1:57:06.280 --> 1:57:09.160 cruising through the inside passage. Oh yeah, all that kind 1:57:09.200 --> 1:57:12.080 of thing as well. So yeah, yeah, lots of that. 1:57:12.080 --> 1:57:13.720 But skin is well, we don't do so much skin 1:57:13.960 --> 1:57:15.480 in Canada as much. 1:57:15.640 --> 1:57:17.920 Yeah, all right, and Joe anything that's as well. It 1:57:18.400 --> 1:57:21.520 took me on we talked this new vessel that you have, 1:57:21.560 --> 1:57:24.920 the Selara, but the apt Or Stars coming within the 1:57:24.920 --> 1:57:25.760 month as well, isn't it? 1:57:25.800 --> 1:57:28.240 Absolutely so? The sister ship of the Solara. So we're 1:57:28.240 --> 1:57:30.320 going to have obviously the same situation with a six 1:57:30.360 --> 1:57:33.320 different experience as far as dining. Only one hundred and 1:57:33.360 --> 1:57:35.400 fifty four guests, so we're gonna have two beautiful new 1:57:35.440 --> 1:57:38.720 ships and you're really setting a new standard for the 1:57:39.360 --> 1:57:42.440 cruising market in Europe for sure. We've had actually a 1:57:42.480 --> 1:57:45.520 lot of inquiry for New Zealand talking about skiing and 1:57:45.520 --> 1:57:47.520 they've just had a huge amount of snow, so I 1:57:47.480 --> 1:57:50.080 hopefully have a really great ski season in New Zealand. 1:57:50.360 --> 1:57:52.760 But we've certainly just released a few more products as 1:57:52.760 --> 1:57:54.960 well into New Zealand. There's some great tours as well 1:57:55.280 --> 1:57:57.600 with rail and touring, so. 1:57:57.560 --> 1:57:59.880 The Solara was launched on twenty fifth of April, so 1:58:00.200 --> 1:58:01.800 you know, a month or a month and a bit ago, 1:58:02.360 --> 1:58:06.040 and the stars saw the yes. So both of these 1:58:06.080 --> 1:58:08.200 and where are people mainly flying? Two? 1:58:08.760 --> 1:58:11.640 They tend to go Amsterdam to Budapest and they add 1:58:11.680 --> 1:58:14.680 on a Paris and Prague stop. Quite often we have 1:58:14.800 --> 1:58:17.080 found people, as Dave said, are doing you know, three 1:58:17.280 --> 1:58:19.440 four weeks in Europe. So they may combine may be 1:58:19.520 --> 1:58:23.520 a magnificent Europe cruise with Bordapest with maybe Croatia Cruise 1:58:23.560 --> 1:58:27.600 which is absolutely stunning beautiful to swim through there and enjoy, 1:58:27.760 --> 1:58:29.760 or just do a little bit more like a villa stay, 1:58:30.000 --> 1:58:33.000 those sort of things.

It is the fiftieth year of 2:01:57.680 --> 2:02:01.040 the release of the movie Jaws coming up later this month. 2:02:01.160 --> 2:02:04.560 So if you're of my age, you remember probably reading 2:02:04.600 --> 2:02:07.480 the book at school, Peter Bentley's book Jaws, which had 2:02:07.520 --> 2:02:09.400 a couple of subplots and a bit of romance and 2:02:09.400 --> 2:02:10.680 a bit of this and that and the other in it, 2:02:11.640 --> 2:02:14.120 a couple of adult themes. And then the movie came 2:02:14.200 --> 2:02:17.080 out and it was huge, wasn't it? And it changed 2:02:17.120 --> 2:02:19.320 the way a lot of us, those of us who 2:02:19.360 --> 2:02:21.520 are ocean going at the time, and still changed the 2:02:21.560 --> 2:02:25.480 way we thought about sharks. But it's probably one of 2:02:25.520 --> 2:02:28.640 those movies that scarred, could scar or did scar people 2:02:28.680 --> 2:02:31.800 for life. Certainly scarred me. It was a horror movie ultimately, 2:02:32.040 --> 2:02:34.040 and the shark was a monster. So we're asking the 2:02:34.160 --> 2:02:37.640 question today movies that have scarred you for life? Here's 2:02:37.680 --> 2:02:38.840 some of what we heard in Jaws. 2:02:39.760 --> 2:02:41.120 You've had a need a pick a page. 2:02:42.520 --> 2:02:45.480 So that was the first time they saw the giant 2:02:45.560 --> 2:02:48.440 fingo pass I think it was thirty feet whatever it was, 2:02:48.560 --> 2:02:51.680 it's that ten meter shark. And then of course the 2:02:51.800 --> 2:03:03.320 famous William score, the theme song Chase that became the 2:03:03.400 --> 2:03:05.480 sound of the Shark, didn't it. That was the Noise 2:03:05.520 --> 2:03:08.280 of the Shark and has been for fifty years. I reckon. 2:03:08.400 --> 2:03:10.800 So movies that may have scarred you for life?

Movies that 2:03:21.960 --> 2:03:25.160 have scarred you for life, certainly for me at my age, 2:03:25.200 --> 2:03:28.520 I saw it at the movies. I think I was 2:03:29.000 --> 2:03:32.960 seventy five, so it was probably thirteen going on fourteen 2:03:33.000 --> 2:03:34.360 when I saw it, pretty sure.

We 2:25:19.200 --> 2:25:21.960 used to call it multiple personalities. She only felt safe 2:25:22.320 --> 2:25:25.800 when she was sitting in her analyst's big chair. Anyway, 2:25:25.840 --> 2:25:27.880 the movie I decided to take my girlfriend to go 2:25:27.959 --> 2:25:29.880 and see that in seventy eight because it was a 2:25:29.959 --> 2:25:32.720 TV movie in America. It came out in the cinemas 2:25:32.800 --> 2:25:35.520 in Australia in seventy eight, and it was at Uni. 2:25:35.640 --> 2:25:37.880 It was an electure theater, theater at Uni. I think 2:25:37.920 --> 2:25:39.480 it was probably the middle of summer. It was a 2:25:39.560 --> 2:25:41.320 bit warm, it's a bit smelly. 2:25:41.560 --> 2:25:42.440 Yeah. Yeah. 2:25:42.640 --> 2:25:44.360 And there's a scene at the end of the movie 2:25:44.480 --> 2:25:47.880 where you see what Sybil's mum allegedly did to her 2:25:48.560 --> 2:25:50.879 on the kitchen table. Yeah right, Never going to see 2:25:50.920 --> 2:25:54.680 that movie again. Yeah, Wow, it's a bit shocking.

Most of the casts 2:26:14.080 --> 2:26:16.600 have died suspiciously. I think that's right, Murray. I think 2:26:16.640 --> 2:26:20.840 four people died again, it's a Spielberg film, and I 2:26:20.959 --> 2:26:23.800 think four people died after the film with Poltergeist. In 2:26:24.879 --> 2:26:32.280 really unrelated ways. The duel act was Dennis Weaver. Thank you, 2:26:32.920 --> 2:26:36.200 says Laurie. Appreciate that. Lourie.

Sheer market stronger today after 2:27:00.360 --> 2:27:02.200 a three day break? Are we clear? Joins us right 2:27:02.240 --> 2:27:04.040 now from Shaw and Partners today, Aree, what can you 2:27:04.080 --> 2:27:04.360 tell us? 2:27:04.879 --> 2:27:06.680 Hello, Simon? What It's been a three day break for 2:27:06.840 --> 2:27:08.360 the share market and I think it was an eight 2:27:08.480 --> 2:27:11.279 day break for me, and I'm very pleased to report 2:27:11.440 --> 2:27:14.000 to celebrate my return. The share market is a fair 2:27:14.080 --> 2:27:16.920 bit stronger today, which is a pretty amazing effort given 2:27:16.920 --> 2:27:19.640 all of those horrible images of rioting on the streets 2:27:19.680 --> 2:27:22.640 of Los Angeles over the weekend. Nevertheless, all of the 2:27:22.720 --> 2:27:26.320 major banks here have improved today, and the resource companies 2:27:26.320 --> 2:27:29.400 are stronger as well. The spotlight or price is hovering 2:27:29.400 --> 2:27:32.400 around ninety four dollars fifty a ton. The goal price 2:27:32.480 --> 2:27:35.320 is at three three hundred and twenty six US dollars. 2:27:35.320 --> 2:27:38.520 Announce Shares in the big data center company next to 2:27:38.680 --> 2:27:42.000 DC have rallied today. They've been expanding their business in 2:27:42.120 --> 2:27:45.640 Malaysia with a new data center they're building in kl 2:27:46.080 --> 2:27:49.280 to go live early next year next. DC shares are 2:27:49.440 --> 2:27:51.720 up nearly six and a half percent at fourteen dollars 2:27:51.800 --> 2:27:55.760 and one. The regulator ASSEIC have announced some plans today 2:27:56.200 --> 2:27:58.040 to make it a little bit easier for companies to 2:27:58.160 --> 2:28:01.800 list on the ASX. Listings have hit a new low 2:28:01.959 --> 2:28:04.720 not seen since before the pandemic, and they're wanting to 2:28:04.840 --> 2:28:08.280 rectify that situation. The next big company to float on 2:28:08.360 --> 2:28:11.400 the local share market will be the airline Virgin Australia. 2:28:11.800 --> 2:28:15.080 Their prospectives came out on Friday last week, so hopefully 2:28:15.400 --> 2:28:18.160 that will be a success and lead to more companies floating. 2:28:18.480 --> 2:28:21.400 Virgin are expected to start trading in two weeks time, 2:28:21.560 --> 2:28:24.520 on Tuesday, the twenty fourth of June. And there's been 2:28:24.560 --> 2:28:28.480 some very bad news from a listed IVF company called Monash. 2:28:28.920 --> 2:28:32.680 They have mistakenly transferred the wrong embryo into a patient. 2:28:32.720 --> 2:28:35.440 It's the second time it's happened in two months and 2:28:36.400 --> 2:28:40.240 the Monish IVF share price has tumbled today. They've got 2:28:40.560 --> 2:28:43.560 twenty three clinics in Australia, four in WA. The shares 2:28:43.600 --> 2:28:46.760 have dropped twenty five percent today down to fifty six cents. 2:28:47.320 --> 2:28:50.840 Before April, which was before the first of these incidents happened, 2:28:50.879 --> 2:28:52.959 they were worth over a dollar a share. So that's 2:28:53.440 --> 2:28:55.360 in a real state of disarray at the moment. But 2:28:55.480 --> 2:28:58.680 the broader market has continued in its recovery from an 2:28:58.720 --> 2:29:01.920 all time high set in February of eight hundred and eighty. 2:29:02.320 --> 2:29:06.120 We fell over fifteen percent by April, but our June 2:29:06.320 --> 2:29:09.480 and the markets back to eight eight hundred and three, 2:29:09.680 --> 2:29:11.080 up sixty two points today. 2:29:11.200 --> 2:29:13.440 Simon, all right, oh you well done mate.

We spoke about this a month ago 2:29:22.360 --> 2:29:24.560 and they've done it a game, it would seem allegedly. 2:29:25.560 --> 2:29:28.280 Jason from Alfred Cove says Bowie was Jaws for me, 2:29:28.520 --> 2:29:30.959 and then I saw Piranha and Orca that I had 2:29:31.000 --> 2:29:34.000 to go to school swimming lessons at Couji Beach. It 2:29:34.080 --> 2:29:35.600 used to be close from time to time because the 2:29:35.640 --> 2:29:38.960 Shark's siding has been close to Rob's.

But the end 2:30:16.080 --> 2:30:18.200 of financial year, sal So, I reckon eight point one 2:30:18.280 --> 2:30:22.040 million of US Australians will planned to shopping in the 2:30:22.280 --> 2:30:25.560 and EO FY sales and we could be spending over 2:30:25.640 --> 2:30:31.320 two thousand bucks each.

I reckon I might have a little look 2:30:38.360 --> 2:30:38.760 at this one. 2:30:39.560 --> 2:30:41.680 Yeah, I've already snapped up a bunch of stuff. Actually, 2:30:41.800 --> 2:30:44.040 I recently moved house, so we had a few things 2:30:44.080 --> 2:30:47.160 we needed and I saved about forty percent which wasn't bad. 2:30:47.560 --> 2:30:50.000 Yeah, all right, Yeah, that's good, isn't it. It is becoming, 2:30:50.480 --> 2:30:52.640 you know, it's really emerged, hasn't it. And I guess 2:30:52.640 --> 2:30:57.080 there's reasons for it. You know, big retailers whatever, they 2:30:57.120 --> 2:30:59.400 are trying to offload stock as they go into the 2:30:59.480 --> 2:31:02.160 new financi a year. Can you legitimately get a sale? 2:31:02.240 --> 2:31:05.760 Chris, Absolutely. I think it's it's a bit of a 2:31:05.920 --> 2:31:08.560 black horse and a financial year's sales. Like we tend 2:31:08.600 --> 2:31:11.480 to think of Boxing Day and Black Friday as the 2:31:11.520 --> 2:31:14.200 big sales events, but I think and the financial year 2:31:14.320 --> 2:31:17.240 is equally as good in terms of the discounts you 2:31:17.280 --> 2:31:17.600 can get. 2:31:18.200 --> 2:31:21.279 Yeah, all right, it's across the board. 2:31:21.320 --> 2:31:21.480 I know. 2:31:21.720 --> 2:31:23.520 And our producer here is. 2:31:25.000 --> 2:31:25.160 Too. 2:31:25.640 --> 2:31:27.600 She's got to work couple of websites that she follows, 2:31:28.600 --> 2:31:31.160 and a lot of them can be around around clothing, 2:31:31.440 --> 2:31:36.199 women's clothing, women's accessories, but it does include electronic goods, 2:31:36.280 --> 2:31:39.360 home and living, family and lifestyle fashion that you can 2:31:39.400 --> 2:31:41.720 get it. You can get a bit of a bargain anywhere. 2:31:42.720 --> 2:31:46.000 That's That's exactly right. It's pretty much like every single 2:31:46.200 --> 2:31:49.480 retailer imaginable is jumping on the bandwagon. Like even things 2:31:49.560 --> 2:31:51.920 like utilities like you can save on your energy bill 2:31:52.120 --> 2:31:55.080 or your phone plan. You can get up to fifty 2:31:55.080 --> 2:31:57.240 percent off at the moment. So there's some really great 2:31:57.320 --> 2:31:59.760 bargains around and it's not just electronics like it. 2:31:59.879 --> 2:32:00.240 Is to be. 2:32:01.440 --> 2:32:04.959 And are we presenting to the bricks and mortar store, Chris, 2:32:05.200 --> 2:32:06.920 or going online? What are we doing? 2:32:08.240 --> 2:32:08.360 Well? 2:32:08.400 --> 2:32:10.760 I think you should definitely start online, just because it's 2:32:10.840 --> 2:32:13.600 a lot easier to compare the prices between different stores. 2:32:13.959 --> 2:32:16.080 And obviously there's a lot more variety as well. If 2:32:16.160 --> 2:32:19.160 you're looking online, well at the brick and moltor stores, 2:32:19.200 --> 2:32:21.560 you're like kind of like, it's just what they have 2:32:21.760 --> 2:32:22.959 in stores, what you can buy. 2:32:23.200 --> 2:32:24.359 So I would start online. 2:32:24.440 --> 2:32:26.040 And if you don't see what you want, then it 2:32:26.120 --> 2:32:28.879 might be worth just ducking around to your local Westfield 2:32:29.000 --> 2:32:29.720 or whatever it might be. 2:32:30.280 --> 2:32:32.320 And I genuine in the absence of knowing, Chris, I 2:32:32.440 --> 2:32:35.240 genuinely don't know this. It's on now through to the 2:32:35.480 --> 2:32:38.160 in the financial year. Is it is it one day, 2:32:38.200 --> 2:32:40.680 two days or can you go in there? 2:32:41.879 --> 2:32:44.120 Every year it seems to go longer and longer, So 2:32:44.480 --> 2:32:47.160 I think the sales a lot of them actually started 2:32:47.200 --> 2:32:50.360 in May and they'll keep going through right up till 2:32:50.520 --> 2:32:52.480 thirtieth of June, and some of them will even go 2:32:52.800 --> 2:32:54.640 beyond that, so you might be still be able to 2:32:54.680 --> 2:32:56.039 get some deals in July as well. 2:32:56.320 --> 2:32:58.160 Yeah, all right, good to talk to you mate.

I 2:36:21.560 --> 2:36:23.840 don't want to mention your team and the Dolphins, but 2:36:23.920 --> 2:36:28.120 that was awful. The Dolphins running fifty six points. The 2:36:28.240 --> 2:36:30.920 world was melting down. Don't avert your eyes. 2:36:31.080 --> 2:36:32.920 The world was melting down on Friday night. 2:36:33.120 --> 2:36:34.920 I did not bother watching. 2:36:34.680 --> 2:36:37.760 The second half of the match, and me and West 2:36:37.800 --> 2:36:43.200 Coast some of the Soviet Organs yesterday poor so she was. 2:36:43.640 --> 2:36:44.920 You could barely consult her well. 2:36:45.560 --> 2:36:47.400 Her and I chatted after the Eagles girme on Saturday, 2:36:47.400 --> 2:36:49.080 and I wasn't here yesterday to talk about it.

But I turn 2:37:05.520 --> 2:37:08.040 it off at halftime.

And sure it's incumbent on us to put 2:37:56.720 --> 2:37:59.959 the right things into the toilet, but this is really 2:38:00.240 --> 2:38:02.520 bad that the maintenance might not be up to standard. 2:38:02.560 --> 2:38:05.440 Now we've got a state budget next week.
