1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: Morning again, Barrah, welcome back.

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 2: It's the day before Christmas. It's Christmas Eve. Tomorrow the

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,399
Speaker 2: ashes starts. It's been waiting so long for it. You know,

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 2: everyone who loves cricket, or loves sport or I reckon

5
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 2: a lot of the state would be just so pumped

6
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 2: about it starting to win. There'd be a lot of

7
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 2: sickies tomorrow, I reckon encourage it. And not that I'm

8
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 2: not encouraging the sickies. But lest you were telling me

9
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 2: the public holidays being moved anyway, is it?

10
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: See it coincides this year, doesn't it. W Way Day

11
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: Festival and the.

12
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 3: The Waday Festival is being held at this time of

13
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 3: year because of the weather. Although w Way Day the

14
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 3: public holiday is in June, but I believe it's next

15
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 3: year or the year after or whatever. They're literally going

16
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 3: to change the date of the w Way Day public

17
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 3: holiday to make it later in the year to align

18
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 3: with the festival. But the thing is that seems to

19
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 3: have been forgotten is w Way Day was Foundation Day

20
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 3: only up until fifteen years Yeah, so, and it's observed

21
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 3: on the first Monday of June because that's when the

22
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 3: foundation was So are we now saying that we're just

23
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 3: doing away with that.

24
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: Well, I've got no idea. All I know is that

25
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 2: we will have a Test match here for the next

26
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 2: ten years. So I reckon the Friday. I suggest to

27
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 2: the government you had you had the premiere in yesterday.

28
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: Well, we have him on the phone yesterday.

29
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, so let's ask him if we can have the

30
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 2: Friday public lane instead the Monday, because it's being moved

31
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 2: to the Monday right after. Well, that's just day three

32
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 2: of the Test match. That's good.

33
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: Day. We've run a coincide every year.

34
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 3: No, that's right, it's not going to but yes, we

35
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 3: all are public holidays or a Monday. We don't have

36
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,199
Speaker 3: a Friday. We do it except for Good Friday, of course.

37
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: But I put it to the premiere. I said, well,

38
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: given that Foundation Day is back that first Monday in

39
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: June and it signifies, you know, the beginning, the beginning

40
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: of per importance. Will there be some sort of recognition

41
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: of it. I don't know whether it's a function at

42
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: Government House or something like that. Didn't really get an answer.

43
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 3: No, it feels a bit like we're just sort of

44
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 3: doing away with it for the sake of when the

45
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 3: weather is most convenient people having a day off.

46
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it had been diabolical a couple years in a row.

47
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 2: I would support the fact that they're moving it to

48
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: a more warm summary springtime time.

49
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: But what about the actual day and what it signifies originally?

50
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: Now this is Lisa well, but this is the question

51
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: we didn't get. We didn't get a straight answer from

52
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: the premier as to weather. That is still reckonni.

53
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 3: I mean, why did we change the name to w

54
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 3: Way Day to begin with? Was it Foundation Day a

55
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 3: little too confronting?

56
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: I think it was. I think there was a level

57
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,679
Speaker 1: of controversial.

58
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 2: Asian side of things.

59
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: So all that comes into play. But do you still

60
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: do you not? Do you not mark that anymore? In

61
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: any way?

62
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 2: Can we get back on sport?

63
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 1: A very political man.

64
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 2: I don't know what the answers.

65
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: I know there's a part.

66
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 2: Of the community you don't like it being called Dounday

67
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:01,239
