1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: This is gem Nation. We're well, we've had a spate

2
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: of bad weather. I'm not telling information. You don't know, rain, rain, rain,

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: rain towers, floods, showing you on Google Earth warrigamber dam

4
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: and the benefits of raising the damn wall and what

5
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: part will be flooded if we raise the damn wall.

6
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: And you seem to understand that I did, thank you.

7
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 1: But you know, the only creatures that seem to love

8
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: what's going on with the weather and this is unfortunate,

9
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: it's snakes. Snakes, come on, Snakes are about to have

10
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: an incredibly hectic that's the word of the snake catchers

11
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: breeding season. They love the wet and also what happens

12
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: is they get swept out of where they're living when

13
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 1: it's when there are floods and when there's lots of

14
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: movement of water. So they're turning up in the strangest places,

15
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: carpet pythons, inside TV sets, venomous red bellied black snake.

16
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: One was sucked up by a vacuum cleaner right to

17
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: the edge. So what someone sucked up their snake with it? No,

18
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: it went into the vacuum cleaner. That's what I said

19
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: at school. Just happened. Eastern brown snakes have been found

20
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: something themselves on the beach. No, no one wants any

21
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: of that. So the Australian snake season generally hits between

22
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: September and April. When they come out looking for food

23
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: or a mate. It's like Mad Monday. But this can

24
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: be brought forward if at the end of winter and

25
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: the start of spring are unseasonably warm and wet, which

26
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: is exactly what's happening. So snakes at the moment have

27
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: been found in schools, in houses, in gutters, in pipes.

28
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,919
Speaker 1: This is a bit I thought was casual. People should

29
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: contact wires or professional snake handler if they're concerned about

30
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: one near their home. No need to worry about them.

31
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: Just keep an eye on them. You've got a really

32
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: poisonous snake in your vacuum cleaner, but just casually keep

33
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: an eye on it. Get Brian on the case. Sing

34
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: it to death. He could sing it to death. He

35
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: could do a good job. Off Bright to
