1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda in the Morning Sam.

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 2: Local newspapers, how are they staying around? But they are

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 2: so so important. News Corp Australia has confirmed that more

4
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 2: than one hundred local and regional newspapers will either become

5
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 2: just digital or disappear entirely significant number of job losses

6
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 2: that will go with that. But these newspapers also really

7
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 2: service the local community. I mean, you go on about

8
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 2: the Leader. Leader isn't one of these, but there's newspapers

9
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,160
Speaker 2: from from Penrith, from the Shire, from Horns, being from

10
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 2: regional Australia all going under. It's I think it's sad

11
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: it's not me that has to finance there, obviously, but

12
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 2: I think they are a big part of the local

13
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 2: community for local advertisers. But also that's where you get

14
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 2: your local stories. That's where if you get a netball trophy,

15
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 2: you'll get your picture in the paper picture. The Herald's

16
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 2: not going to put your picture in of you holding

17
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 2: your Lady Bird's netball trophy.

18
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: My dad used to call it the two minutes silence

19
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: because that's what it would take while you're on the

20
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: dundy reading it. Two minutes did they do it?

21
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 2: And that would be enough the noodles while he's on

22
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 2: the loop.

23
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, my favorite St. George Southern Leader headline. Remember Michelle

24
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: Leslie when you know she was aving Ballei and she

25
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: had the drug.

26
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 2: Thing it's an ecstasy and.

27
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: She came back from almost right yep, And she came

28
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 1: back from Ballei and the headline and the leader was

29
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 1: Michelle Leslie quits Bali and the Shire because she moved

30
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: big news too much?

31
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 2: Could you tease me earlier?

32
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: A story? And I like talking about it. So my

33
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: mother grew up in Bendio in Victoria, and we'd go

34
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: down once a year to visit the ralis down there.

35
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: And one day there's a giant fir tree out the

36
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: front of my auntie's place. It would have been about

37
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,199
Speaker 1: sixty foot tall, and I don't you know, fir trees

38
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: are like a giant Christmas tree, easy to climb. And

39
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: so I climbed up it, and my brother and my

40
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: cousin were down the bottom, and I said, come on,

41
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: it's easy to climb up. So they climbed up as well,

42
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: and you're right up the top and it's incredibly high

43
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: up the top. This car pulls up, a guy gets

44
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: it and he starts yelling up. We couldn't understand what

45
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: he was saying. I thought we were in trouble. Yeah,

46
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: so I climbed down. I would have been about twelve.

47
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: I've climbed down and the guy introduces himself. He's a

48
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: photographer and a journalist for the Bendigo Advertiser. And he

49
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: noticed that we're up the tree and that would make

50
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: a great shot, like a lifestyle piece for the lifestyle

51
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: piece for the newspaper. Yeah, no worries. So who are

52
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: the guys up there? And I said, well, that's my

53
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: brother Matt and my cousin Cameron. And he said, oh okay,

54
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: so I go climbing back up the tree. He takes

55
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: the picture. Yeah, and then bugers off and then look

56
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: I'm up the top and then he's completely gone.

57
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 2: And then you didn't make it up in time?

58
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: Two days later in the paper local hero went to

59
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: fun Land for these local hero boys very brave climbing

60
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: the tree, mentions those two bonheads, but not me.

61
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 2: So did you not make it back up in time?
