3
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: So Grace from the newsroom is with us now. Grace

4
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: unfortunately has the job of bringing us the bad news

5
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: some good news too, but you know, given the way

6
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: of the world, plenty of bad stuff too, so Grace,

7
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: like the rest of us, needs a break from the

8
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: bad news until the next update at eight. Grace, here's

9
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: your chance to bring us a good news story, bring

10
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: us some light in this world this.

11
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 2: Morning, sure things. So a good news story I came

12
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 2: across this week was from the mid North Coast in

13
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 2: New South Wales and it's a lovely little nature school.

14
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 2: And what they've done is they've three D printed a

15
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 2: prosthetic hand for their classmate using an open source design

16
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: from a charity, which I think is just so fantastic.

17
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: The things you can do now, I know, so your

18
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: classmates can make you a hand.

19
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and they've actually done three versions of the hand

20
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 2: and they're constantly refining it and making it more comfortable

21
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 2: for their classmate, so I think that's very very cure.

22
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: So they're helping out their classmate and learning technology at

23
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: the same time, because three D printers are like everywhere.

24
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: I was in an electronics store yesterday and they had

25
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: about three of the things going.

26
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: It's insane and you can just you can actually see

27
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 2: them building stuff in real time. I just it boggles

28
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: my mind what we can do these days.

29
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, well that's a bit of good news. I've

30
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: got a good news story as well. Once hunted to

31
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 1: almost extinction, a group of humpback whales currently migrating down

32
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: Australia's East coast has bounced back and then some. In

33
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: a preliminary report, marine scientists estimate there were more than

34
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: fifty thousand of the Eastern Australian humpback whales in twenty

35
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: twenty four. Now that is twenty thousand more than the

36
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: estimated pre whaling population in the early nineteen hundred, so

37
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: that's like over one hundred years. And the report co

38
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: wi that Wally Franklin has called their comeback remarkable, which

39
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: it is given that numbers had fallen to as few

40
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: as one hundred and fifty. So now there are fifty thousand,

41
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: so you know, and I remember as a kid growing

42
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: up and that was still wailing happening down in Albany

43
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: back in the days. I don't think they finished that

44
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 1: till the late seventies, so the numbers have gone right down.

45
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: So it's like anything. It's like the ozone layer. If

46
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: you leave it alone, it can things come back, things

47
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: can repair themselves. So there's a couple of good news stories,

48
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 1: including one from Grace, who doesn't often get to share

49
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: them with us. The news of the world.

50
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 2: I do my bad.

51
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I know, but hey, an important story

52
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: is an important story, so we want to hear your

53
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: good news stories. Can you add to that? Maybe a

54
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: big Powerball win? Are you the one who won twenty

55
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 1: five thousand, twenty five twenty five million which has made

56
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: oh boy, twenty five million in the power ball last night?

57
00:02:58,320 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: If it's you and you know about it, why don't

58
00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: you call?

59
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 2: I would not be reading the next plaus And if

60
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 2: I won that much.

61
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: Not many people having a more field good Friday than

62
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: that person if they know that they are a winner.

63
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: Yet maybe you're starting long service leave. We usually receive

64
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: good news messages from people on that subject. Look, it

65
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: can be anything. And Lara in Armadale on the text

Speaker 1: lost sister. So happy I can do this. We're happy

72
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: you can do that too, Robin. Good morning, Paul. What's

73
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: your good news?

74
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're just down set us and we're down at

75
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 3: the Bustle and Jenny as usual, and there's a little landing. Anyway,

76
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 3: all the kids go down there and my son he

77
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 3: runs down there and catches a few herring and comes back.

78
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 3: Can we chuck them out for squid and bigger stuff? Anyway,

79
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 3: About half an hour later, as this flokes walked up

80
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 3: to me and goes, is that your son?

81
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: Is it?

82
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 3: And I went yeah, and he goes, do you know what,

83
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 3: He's a great kid. And I said, why is that mate?

84
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 3: And he goes, oh, he gave they were fishing with

85
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 3: bait and only catching trumpeters, because as soon as you

86
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 3: throw bait out there, they just come a big cloud.

87
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 3: And he goes, he gave them a microjig each and

88
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 3: showed him how to catch herring and yellowtail and skippy

89
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 3: with it. So I thought, geez, it just made me

90
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 3: feel good.

91
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: Yes, well, and the reason why your son is so good, Paul,

92
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: is because you're teaching him good lessons.

93
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 3: Obviously somewhish.

94
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: Good people.

95
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely. But he learned that himself though, really,

96
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 3: because I mean, I know, whenever I fished, you didn't

97
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 3: like people next to you and that, but he seems

98
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 3: to fit in and enjoy it. So yeah, he might

99
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 3: be teaching me.

100
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: Well, Paul, I think that's that's good. Your son is

101
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: making other people feel good in the game, in the

102
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: game of fishing, which is not always good, which is

103
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 1: not always easy. It's like golf, it's not always good

104
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: easy to feel good when you're doing fishing.

105
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 3: There's a lot of disa especially in winter.

106
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, Paul, well done to you, and well done to

107
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: your son for making other people doing the frustrating sport

108
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: of fishing sometimes frustrating, making them feel good.

109
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 3: I might go out and buy him an expensive fishing

110
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 3: rod or something.

111
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: Maybe that was a part of his plan in the

112
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: first place. He might have put that bloke up to it.

113
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: He well done, Paul, and thanks for sharing your good

114
