Speaker 2: action against Rod Stewart over the nineteen seventies hit song

191
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 2: Maggie May. Ray claimed he came up with this worldwide.

192
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 2: The song was a worldwide hit. He said. He came

193
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 2: up with his classic mandolin melody.

194
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: Oh the hook, Yeah, it's beautiful.

195
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 2: He said he may have lost at least one point

196
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 2: three million because he wasn't credited for this famous hook.

197
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 2: He was paid twenty eight bucks for the recording session

198
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 2: in nineteen seventy one. The hook goes for thirteen seconds yep,

199
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 2: slightly longer than Rod's encounter, apparently with the older woman

200
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 2: that he sings about in the autobiographical Maggie Man. Oh, Maggie, Maggie, Maggie.

207
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: The places were affected last year in March. Can you

208
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,439
Speaker 1: believe we did this this time last year?

209
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 2: And well, if you're affected last year, they say you're

210
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 2: going to be affected this year. And tell you what

211
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,840

Speaker 1: And this is where the tribal drum works fully is

215
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: we just get the vibe of what's happening on the

216
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: streets because we're in North Ryde in our place here

217
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: seems to be all right here. But what's it like

218
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: in Windsor James's weathers? Hello, James, a great, Well, how

219
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: are you look?

220
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 14: Not too bad? I mean, who would have thought we

221
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 14: would be back in this situation again?

222
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know they're saying unprecedented. I think we have

223
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 2: to stop saying precedented. It seems that this is becoming

224
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 2: very precedented. What's the scenario where you are, James?

225
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 14: Well, unlike last year and I rang the water was

226
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 14: coming up in the street and basically out my driveway

227
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 14: this morning. I took a good look around at the moment,

228
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 14: no water in the street at also a good there

229
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 14: for the moment. I do know there's evacuated parts of

230
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 14: the south Windsor and Blick Park. I went for a drive. Also,

231
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 14: we've got Windsor Country Golf Club which backs onto Rickerby's Creek,

232
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 14: which is obviously flooded. That's now coming flowing over onto

233
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 14: Cock Street, which is a bad thing because last time

234
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 14: it got to Cock Street kept rising and rising from there,

235
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 14: and that's sort of when our street also started the flood.

236
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 2: Well, they're saying, I was just reading here this man

237
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 2: Ben Sullivan has told the Herald he's in Windsor. This

238
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 2: is his third flood in two years. How do you

239
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 2: get over that? How does the human spirit fight that?

240
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: James, thank you for reporting in from Windsor. We go

241
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 1: to Woi Wi. Hello, Brendan. Brendan's gone, and Brendan's there.

242
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 2: How things in Wi Boi? Brendan, Yeah, not too bad

243
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 2: in Wi Woi.

244
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 6: It's probably one of the better parts of the coast

245
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 6: to be on.

246
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: I'd say God's country mate, it is.

247
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah, we've had we've had a lot of heavy

248
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 6: rain yesterday.

249
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 4: That.

250
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's more the beaches that are going to compet

251
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 6: at the moment, and sort of the streets right on

252
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 6: the on the edge of the water in our area

253
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 6: because we're quite close to Aedlong you Minor mm hmm,

254
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 6: and last year they copted. Ye, the beach has got

255
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 6: quite a bit of a rasion and a bit of

256
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 6: damage there, and there was a few houses along the coast.

257
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 6: It's got some damage, but it's more the northern end

258
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 6: of the coast, so that's going to get it today.

259
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 6: I think sort of Maccruori Lakes and Long Journey is

260
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 6: that area. Yeah, I think I think they've been issued

261
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 6: some mornings since, some evacuation mornings to prevent.

262
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: Well, good on your brandan thank you for that.

263

Speaker 4: Jonesy and Amanda in the morning one oh one point

265
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,719
Speaker 4: seven WSFN.

266
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: Hello there, it is sixteen to seven.

267
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 2: Natalie Barr from Sunrise is at Windsor Bridge in Sydney, Nada.

268
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 2: I'm looking at your Instagram here it says a year

269
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 2: on is to the day after I stood here reporting

270
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 2: on a one in one hundred year flood. The flood

271
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 2: is back and it's worse. What are you seeing this

272
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 2: morning that?

273
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, look we're standing at the Windsor Bridge, which you know,

274
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 7: it's pretty iconic. A lot of people would know this.

275
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 7: They built a new one and it opened in May

276
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 7: twenty and then a year later, literally a year ago,

277
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 7: the water ran over and it was flooded. It was

278
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 7: supposed to be supposedly floodproof, and the water spilled over

279
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 7: it last year and we all stood here and said, wow,

280
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 7: look at that. At that stage the Hawksbury River peaked

281
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 7: at tZERO point nine meters and everyone thought, oh my godness,

282
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 7: this is amazing. Now it's expected to peak at fourteen meters.

283
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 7: So this is really serious out here.

284
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 1: What does that mean to the integrity of the bridge?

285
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 7: Nat It sounds like the bridge will be fine. It's

286
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 7: a very very solid bridge.

287
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 5: You know.

288
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 7: The first bridge was built many years ago, in eighteen

289
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 7: seventy four as a rickety old one, and that's why

290
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 7: they had to redo it. I don't think anyone's worried

291
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 7: about that, yeah, but they're worried about the water around

292
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 7: it and all the communities along here. Hundreds of thousands

293
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 7: of people are going to be impacted by this. There's

294
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 7: no way they can even put out enough alert. So

295
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 7: authorities are saying, if you were flooded this time last year,

296
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 7: which was many, many thousands of people, get out of

297
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 7: your house. If you even think that you've got a

298
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 7: slight possibility of being flooded, get out of your house.

299
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 7: Even if you're not on an alert list, you could

300
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 7: still be impacted because home homes around you, streets around

301
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 7: you could be flooded and then you could be cut

302
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 7: off and that is going to impact resources seas trying

303
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 7: to get you supplies, etc. So they're really calling on

304
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 7: the public to try and do the right thing there.

305
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 2: And when you're talked to evacuate. I know we've been

306
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 2: giving the information this morning sees dot NSW, dot gov,

307
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 2: dot AU for informations to where you evacuate too. Do

308
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 2: we have enough evacuation sites for these thousands and thousands

309
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 2: of people.

310
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 7: Well, probably not, because they're just starting to organize that.

311
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 7: I think it's a matter of if you a matter

312
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 7: of if you've got someone else, if you've got a friend,

313
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 7: a family member, get out now. It's a matter of

314
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 7: getting out of this area, getting your car off the road,

315
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 7: because the roads are being impacted really quickly. Roads that

316
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 7: were I've just been up in Brisbane for a few

317
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 7: days and the same thing happened that they're roads that

318
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 7: were fine an hour or a few hours ago are

319
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 7: not necessarily going to be fine when you choose to

320
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 7: get out of here. So they're really asking people to

321
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 7: look at the updates. The ss website has been having

322
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 7: problems so they're putting out alerts on Facebook and on Twitter,

323
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 7: but basically, don't wait around for an alert or knock

324
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 7: on the door or an evacuation order. Try and do

325
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 7: it yourself.

326
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: These unprecedented times that we live in, don't we just

327
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: love them? Well, Nat, thank you for joining us so

00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 7: happy to be out there.

334

Speaker 1: Mat. Thank you for keeping us up today.

335
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 2: Look after yourself, see you, guys. Thank you.

336
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: We had a pandemic, we're on the ring of World

337
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: War three, and now we've got a flood. And why

338
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: do I feel calm about this?

339
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 2: Well, don't I don't. I just saw this. It's called

340
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 2: classic meme reels, and it's a kid crying in school

341
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 2: and it says kids in twenty fifty trying to study

342
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 2: the twenty nineteen to twenty twenty two chapter of history

343
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 2: for a test. It's so traumatic. These last few years,

344
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 2: we've had floods, we've had fires, we've had drought, we've

345
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 2: had COVID just we're now Russia invading Ukraine and that's

346
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 2: not the big story of the day.

347
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: Did you see that? I was watching the news last

348
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: night and I was just it just got to me,

349
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: like I was just like, oh man. And then the

350
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: part time dog that we have, did you see that thing?

351
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 1: Came in with a little rain coat and I went, well,

352
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: I feel a bit better now.

353
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 2: Well, my husband started watching on YouTube outtakes from Everyone

354
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 2: Loves Raymond. He said, I need a break from the news.

355
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 2: That's desperate times, isn't it.

356
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 1: But what we can to you and we're and I'm

357
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: not going to say we're all in this together because

358
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: I want to help you with try but those areas.

359
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: The flooding on the Nepean at Men Angle is already

360
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: higher than was last year. We just talked to Natalie

361
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: Barr from Sunrise. So the Windsor Bridge has gone out under.

362
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: This is the higher bridge that they built. And I

363
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: don't know if you've been over the Windsor Bridge lately.

364
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: I went over it just in Christmas time, and it's

365
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: when you look at it when there's no water, it's

366
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: so high. So that thing's underwater.

367
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 13: Now.

368
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 2: What she said, and we need to reiterate, is if

369
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 2: you were affected last time, if you think you might

370
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 2: be affected, get your car and go go to friends,

371
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 2: go to family. If you can't do that, then sees

372
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 2: dot NSW, dot gov, dot AU. There are evacuation sites.

373
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 2: But as she said, this water rises really quickly and

374
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 2: you don't want your car. Suddenly you can't have access

375
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 2: to your car, or your car's clocking choking up the

376
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 2: road so the sees can't get in for rescue measures.

377
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 2: Just think ahead and if you have any doubts at all,

378
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 2: time to go.

379
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 1: I was just explaining to you about the East Coast low.

380
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 1: So I've got the radar up.

381
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 2: Tell me what a low means, and tell me what's happening.

382
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: So the East Coast low has been coming down from Queensland.

383
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: It says, Yes, we've got southeast winds at the moment,

384
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: So see how the winds are pushing so that what

385
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: we're having right now is I've got my little pointer out. Yes,

386
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 1: can you see that? I can see so see that

387
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: that's just up on the coast there up around tweed Heads.

388
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: That's moving. It's not going anywhere. It's just so.

389
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 2: Normally winds would take it out to sea.

390
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: If we had a southwest wind. Right now, we need

391
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 1: a nice westerly wind to take it all out.

392
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 2: So really it's a combination of the rain plus the

393
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 2: wind that's keeping it all here.

394
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: Yes, but the wind. So the wind's bringing the big seas,

395
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 1: but if you're inland, it's And it's a strange thing

396
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: because I was watching the weather radar last night, so

397
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: all the weather came over Cronulla really quickly, but then

398
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: it went to Penrith, went to Blacktown and went to

399
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,959
Speaker 1: those areas and it was all red, big red, angry radar,

400
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: and that means the heaviest rain.

401
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 2: Well, we're expecting one hundred and fifty mills today.

402
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 1: That's a lot of rain.

403
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 2: So even if it's not raining at your place right now,

404
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 2: you're going to cop it today, so be very careful.

405
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: But we'll keep your past it absolutely so with us.

406
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: There's a couple of questions that I have to ask you.

407
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 2: I answer the question question, Okay, what's in it for me?

408
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: Dollars?

409
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 15: A dollar rewards.

410
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 1: Every morning we have ten thousand dollars up for grabs.

411
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: Ten questions in sixty seconds, ten thousand dollars will be yours.

412
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 1: So easy, let's get into it.

413
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 2: None of it's easy. If you answer question ten correctly,

414
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 2: the money is yours. This has gone off. But what

415
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 2: happens is that the second you're wrong and the second

416
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 2: you hesitate, someone else comes in.

417
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: It's not unprecedented, It's happened before, unlike everything else that's unpresentle.

418
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 2: I think we can stop calling these floods on pres I.

419
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: Think we stricken the word unprecedented from the dictionary.

420
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 2: Let's say we're in precedented time.

421
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: It's all happening now.

422
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 2: Well, what's going to happen here? We do have our

423
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 2: phone lines are full, we have sixty seconds on the clock.

424
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,760

00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 4: in Ballener and one in Lismore.

471
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: Now, wow, it's amazing when you see the pictures of

472
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 1: Lismo how much it's been inundated.

473
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 4: Oh, it's unbelievable. We're just surrounded by water.

474
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,199
Speaker 2: And when you say they've lost their homes, it's not

475
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 2: that they can't be in them at the moment. The

476
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 2: houses have been destroyed.

477
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 4: Oh, most definitely. Yeah, the water came right up to

478
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 4: the roof at the one home completely and the one

479
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 4: in Ballina. It's just the title just gone straight through

480
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 4: the house, so they've lost everything.

481
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 2: Wow, you're working at an evacuation center. What kind of

482
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 2: stories are people telling you there?

483
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:52,479
Speaker 4: Oh, unbelievable stories down there of you know, survival, you know,

484
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 4: being stuck on the roofs and being rescued. So yeah,

485
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 4: I'll go down there every day from eight o'clock till

486
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 4: three in the afternoon, just helping out down Uni. And

487
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 4: there's people everywhere in all different blocks. So we've got

488
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 4: areas where there's dogs, areas where there's people with cats,

489
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 4: and yeah, it's bedlam down there's just wall to wall

490
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 4: people at the evacuation center.

491
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 1: And supplies, groceries and things like that. They'd be pretty

492
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: hard to come by.

493
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 9: Oh they were.

494
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 4: Well, I was in a panic because you know, I

495
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 4: live here with one of my oldest grandchildren and we

496
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 4: had all these other children arrive and had no food.

497
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 4: The shops were stripped, the shelves were stripped, and I'm like,

498
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 4: oh my goodness. Luckily yesterday they helped out at the Union.

499
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 4: They've given me a whole heap of food to help

500
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 4: with these children here right.

501
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 9: Wow.

502
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 2: And if people do want to help, I know you

503
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 2: can go to Red Cross. There are the Red Cross

504
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,840

Speaker 2: doing their bit too. And I should say if people

507
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 2: really suffering, Lifeline as a tem of professional counselors who

509
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: Podcast rain Today, the SAIS says the floods are projected

510
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: to be bigger and more widespread than what we saw

511
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: this time last year. So if you're affected last year,

512
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: then you will be affected again this year. Possible heavy

513
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 1: rainfalls twenty four degrees in the city, twenty three in

514
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: our west right now to twenty degrees soity you love

515
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 1: them the weather radar right now, see the east Kalis sleigh.

516
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 2: There're not loving the radar. But look how scary the

517
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:25,959
Speaker 2: radar is.

518
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: It's moving up to Port Stephens. I see it's crossing

519
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: over Port Stevens that and it's breaking up into two

520
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: little bits. So you got the top bit and the

521
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 1: bottom bit. But where will that cross over?

522
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 2: Well, all I know is we're expecting one hundred and

523
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 2: fifty mills today. So even if it's not raining at

524
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 2: your place now, there's stuff on the way.

525
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: Thirteen WSFM is our number of people are calling in

526
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: with their stories, with their news. Are one of those

527
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: people that actually works here, Brian, one of our top technicians.

528
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: Here's the guy that we call when Amanda spills water

529
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: into the desk, which he hasn't done.

530
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 2: A long time.

531
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 5: I thank God for that.

532
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 2: It was wine and get over it.

533
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: You're in Camden.

534
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 5: I lived not in Camden but in Comedy, so just

535
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 5: outside Camden. It's very scary out there at the moment

536
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 5: because there's basically one road into Camden the center of Camden,

537
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 5: and one road out.

538
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 2: And is that road underwater?

539
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 5: No, because you actually go over the Camden Bypass to

540
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 5: get in and that's it. But all the bridges leading

541
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 5: into Camden are under and I had that first ten yesterday.

542
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 5: The school that my kids go to send out a

543
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 5: message saying you can come and get your kids. It's

544
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 5: safe to do so because there've been advised that the

545
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 5: bridges will go under. So my wife said, can you

546
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 5: get the kids? I went, yep, sure, Lucky.

547
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 2: You could imagine if your both parents couldn't get there.

548
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:51,199
Speaker 5: Exactly went over the bridge near the Camden Airport and

549
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 5: the water was just flowing underneath it, nice and freely flowing.

550
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 5: Underneath it, but very fast. When it got the kids in,

551
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 5: I said to the kids, let's go have a look

552
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 5: at the other bridge, which is on Camden Valley Way,

553
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 5: and that was at least three four meters below the

554
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 5: bridge line before it would have reached the top. I said, okay,

555
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 5: let's go down to the other end of Camden So

556
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,360
Speaker 5: down to the Equestrian Center and have a look. See

557
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 5: what's going on down there. That was flooded. Wow, that

558
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 5: was pretty much flooded all the way down there. I said, okay, well,

559
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 5: let's go home. It be a lot safer. Went over

560
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 5: the same bridge that I took to get the kids.

561
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 5: In the space of twenty five minutes, the water was

562
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 5: actually hitting the bridge. In the space of an hour,

563
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:37,439
Speaker 5: the water was over it.

564
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 2: Well, that's what we've been hearing this morning is really

565
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,199
Speaker 2: don't wait to get the tap on the shoulder to

566
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 2: get your car off the road. If you've got people

567
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 2: to go to, please take your staff getting your car

568
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 2: and go because this water moves far more quickly than

569
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 2: you imagine. Is that what you saw yesterday day?

570
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 5: I saw yesterday and by four point thirty that same

571
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 5: bridge you couldn't see it, and the water was up

572
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,959
Speaker 5: to the entrance leading into the Canden Airport.

573
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: Wow, and you showed us some pictures of those giant

574
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: LPG tanks, Yes, floating around.

575
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 5: Yes, so there was a there's a little independent service

576
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 5: station in Camden. As you're driving to Camden on Camden

577
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 5: Valley Way, it's unfortunately gone under with water this morning

578
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 5: and it had two LPG like the big LPG gas

579
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 5: tanks and a ice freezer just floating down Camden Valley Way.

580
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: So what happens with that?

581
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 6: What?

582
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 5: Oh, it's ended up at my house, right, but.

Speaker 1: I just what happens with that?

584
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 2: That that would be dangerous?

585
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, it's a giant tank full of LPG gas.

586
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure they're built to withstand a lot of stuff,

587
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: but obviously keep away from that stuff. Brian, thank you,

Speaker 2: very kind and we'll pass on all your details to

626
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 2: anyone who needs that.

627
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: Let's get on down to the jonesy demand of arms

628
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: for the pub test, and today seems like a good

629
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: time to talk about it. Raising the warrior agamber damn

630
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: war does it pass the pub test?

631
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 2: So you're our damn expert, what what are the pros

632
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 2: and cons of raising the warrior gamber dam war.

633
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: Well, the warrior gamber damn wall. What they want to

634
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: do is if they raise it by fourteen meters, and

635
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: it wouldn't because what we have is a mitigation dam,

636
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: but also we have water cats water catchment area, so

637
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: it has two functions. Two functions. But if they raise

638
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: it the fourteen meters, as Stuart Airs has said, our minister,

639
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: if we raise it the fourteen minutes. That doesn't necessarily

640
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: mean that we have it stocked up to that. That's

641
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: just to stop. It's there just in case the flow

642
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: on effect downstream in the.

643
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 2: River and the flow on effect downstream means that if

644
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 2: Wargamber Dam spills and we can't control it exactly, then

645
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 2: that's not great. This way, at least we can control

646
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 2: the spill. Yes, but I see that that they say

647
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 2: or ecologists are saying that raising Wroganber Dam would have

648
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 2: a severe impact on World heritage values because it would

649
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,719
Speaker 2: threaten to drown rare and restricted plant communities in our

650
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 2: dry rainforest. There'd be weed invasion, there'd be new areas

651
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 2: of erosion.

652
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: Yes, and also that would have a severe impact on

653
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: the World Heritage vase of the national park around there.

654
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 2: Would it save lives, of course, it.

655
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: Would save lives. It would save houses and lives and

656
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: all to allow.

657
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 2: Us to control the flow of the water and in

658
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 2: times of crisis you can alert people to the danger

659
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 2: and control the flow.

660
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: So the positives about raising the damn wall, It would

661
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: mitigate floods by creating that airspace. Would it eliminate the

662
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: flood risk in the Hawksbury, Nepean Valley. No, it wouldn't

663
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: do that. But having said that, what it would do

664
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: is it would gather all that water now and then

665
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: at a time when we don't have rain, they can

666
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: release the water and then they're fully in control of

667
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: the water. Do you understand what I mean? I do?

668
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 2: Well. This seems to be a controversial issue every time

669
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 2: it's raised. What do you think raising the Warrigamber Damn

670
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 2: Wall does this past the pub test? It seems that,

671
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 2: as you said, Brenda, we're no longer an unprecedented times.

672
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 2: If this is our new weather pattern, yeah, we need.

673
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: To look at it to do something about it. Comcast

674
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: that dang East Coast low so is just hanging around.

675
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: It's across the coast of Port Stevens. So I goes

676
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: from Port Stevens right down an arrow, so it's like this,

677
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: it's like at an angle and it's going to will

678
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: it come across our coastline? It just seems to be

679
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: hanging around.

680
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 2: Well, we're expecting one hundred and fifty meals of rain today.

681
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: We've been asking people to call in because we're the

682
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: parish pump thirteen WSFM. You can tell us about your experiences,

683
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: what you've been going through.

684
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, page is in Picnic Point high page.

685
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:26,959
Speaker 18: Good morning.

686
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 2: I hear the residents are sand bagging themselves against the

687
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 2: Georges River.

688
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 18: We are, We're a bit used to this by now,

689
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 18: so we're ready to go. We've got sand bags, we've

690
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 18: packed up all our belongings on the lower floor and

691
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 18: we're just watching the water.

692
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: Wow. And when you say we've had this before, how

693
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: many times before?

694
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 18: Two times before? So this will be our third in

695
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 18: six years?

696
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 2: And is it now? You know the process? You put

697
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 2: stuff in a certain bag, put it higher up in

698
00:33:57,800 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 2: the house. What's the process for you?

699
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 18: Yes, that's the process. So we've locked down this year.

700
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 18: We ended up buying some gym equipment, so we had

701
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 18: all our gym equipment down in our basement and so

702
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 18: we've had to hire a truck and pack that up

703
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 18: with our gym equipment ready to go. And it's not

704
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 18: really the water so much, it's the mud that it

705
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 18: brings in with it and the cleanup afterwards. The mud

706
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,399
Speaker 18: just goes everywhere and you're just finding mud in all

707
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 18: different places for weeks on end.

708
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 1: And how do you get rid of the mud?

709
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:33,280
Speaker 18: H Jerney Jerney and you know, high pressure hose of broom.

710
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 18: All the nighbors come out and help. So that's good.

711
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: Have you ever thought about moving away from Picnic Point Page?

712
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 18: Do you think I'll it's not really it's worth it,

713
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 18: you know, three hundred and sixty four days a year.

714
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 2: So have you been told that today's the day that

715
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 2: we'll determine whether your house gets flooded?

716
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 18: Yes, we have. So it's the highest tide this morning

717
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 18: about ten fifteen, and because of all the rainfall that

718
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 18: they're predicting, it's meant to be you know, quite low

719
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 18: at the moment, but it's already up the top of

720
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 18: the river. It did breach the walls last night with

721
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,959
Speaker 18: the high tide last night, but it didn't come into

722
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 18: the house.

723
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: And with the stuff like jip rock and electrical powerpoints,

724
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,720
Speaker 1: are they set up high on the on the bottom

725
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 1: part of your house. Have you especially adapted that.

726
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,360
Speaker 18: Yeah, So that's part of how we're built here on

727
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 18: the river. We have to see flood resistant. So all

728
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 18: the habitable habitable areas are upstairs. We've disconnected our gatemotors

729
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 18: and pool pumps and things like that, just so we

730
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 18: don't have any short circuses. In the house.

731
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, when do you make the decision as to when

732
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 2: you go.

733
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 18: We stay because we've wear two levels, so we stay

734
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 18: up the top and we just watch it come in

735
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 18: and we wait for it to go back out so

736
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 18: we can start the cleanup.

737
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: What's good on your page? You've got but you're well prepared,

738
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 1: You've got a good plan.

739
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 18: Yes we do, We definitely do. We've sent yesterday preparing

740
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 18: and sandbagging and packing things up so we're ready to go.

741
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,919
Speaker 18: Last night we disconnected you know, pumps and things because

742
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 18: it looked like it was going to get high, but

743
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 18: then it went back down. But today we'll.

744
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:13,919
Speaker 2: See good good luck.

745
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: Thank you for joining good Luck page of picnic points.

746
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 11: Sure, I want you to go on right now.

747
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 19: I'm taking go to your windows over them, stick your head.

748
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:28,240
Speaker 7: On a yell.

749
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: Down to the jonesy demand of arms for this wet

750
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:38,479
Speaker 1: old Thursday. The pub test today raising the war again.

751
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,720
Speaker 1: But damn wall does it passed the pub test? Stuart Airs,

752
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: the Western Sydney Minister, will be joining us on the

753
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,399
Speaker 1: show a little bit later on. He said we would

754
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 1: build the wall to only create airspace outside the physical

755
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 1: area of where the wall is in which would have

756
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: a very small footprint on any environment. There is nothing

757
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 1: but airspace behind that, so there was no impact none.

758
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 2: He's saying that we're not going to fill it with water. No,

759
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,399
Speaker 2: it's there to stop the water spilling.

760
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: And then at another time when the rains are gone,

761
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:06,760
Speaker 1: they can let the water.

762
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 2: Spill in a controlled way. Ecologists are saying raising the

763
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 2: wall will drown threatened, rare and restricted plant communities, including

764
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 2: dry rainforest, and it would have a severe impact on

765
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:21,959
Speaker 2: world heritage values. What do you think raise the damn wall?

766
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 2: Is it past the pub test?

767
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 19: No, don't raise the dam Developers would want to build.

768
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 15: More houses in flat areas.

769
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 14: They need to do another reservoir work somewhere.

770
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 15: But do not raise the water to damn.

771
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 12: Yeah, they should be between that water elseware to communities

772
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:36,760
Speaker 12: that are in drought.

773
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 6: So that's money that goes to supports centers and stuff

774
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 6: like that.

775
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 15: We should go towards transporting water to communities to need

776
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 15: it more.

777
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 20: Yes, I think it certainly does. If it helps eliminate

778
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 20: all the mass destruction and trauma and loss of lives

779
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 20: and livestock, that's a good idea. And I think all

780
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 20: this sexual water is due to global warming as things

781
00:37:58,400 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 20: are getting worse.

782
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 12: So yes, a day and wall, let's lower the dam

783
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 12: to ninety percent and start using the D cell plant

784
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 12: for capacity only.

785
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 10: If it's done in combination with replanting the Sydney Basin

786
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:16,360
Speaker 10: called the massive amount of tree cover that we've lost.

787
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 10: The tree to help blop the water flow. They get the.

788
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 12: Water down into the ground. Oh like it just goes

789
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 12: over toop, washes away more you soil and we end

790
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 12: up in this situation. We have a very narrow window

791
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 12: to fix it before you know, climate change makes this

792
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,359
Speaker 12: averaged Thursday there.

793
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: It is very interesting about the D cell plant, the

794
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: detail planet, you know, the detail planet. It's like in

795
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: my garage. I've got all these tools I've got, like

796
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: a generator that I keep forgetting that I've got and

797
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: I never think to use it. Maybe the de Cael

798
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 1: plant is like that.

799
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 2: Well, we can put all these questions to Stuart as

800
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 2: he is also the Deputy Premier, he's the Minister for

801
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 2: Western Sydney. Would be talking to him.

802
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: I know as well. You like watching me watch the

803
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: weather radar, but a weather expert is going to be

804
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: joining us next, thank goodness. Jonathan Howe senior meteorologist. Meteorologist

805
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 1: will be joined.

806
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 2: We're the Guy that the Guy Manager podcast. Well, we've

807
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 2: been trying to get hold of Jonathan Howe the Bureau

808
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 2: of Meterologists, Senior meteorologists having extremely busy morning, as you

809
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 2: can imagine. He joins us. Now, Jonathan, Hello, good morning, Jermesy,

810
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 2: no matter. Hello, what is this weather pattern? What is

811
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 2: happening to us at the moment?

812
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's absolutely crazy, isn't it.

813
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:29,879
Speaker 15: Now.

814
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,439
Speaker 13: It's been a wet February and now everybody even more rain.

815
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 13: It's it's the same system which impacts southeast Queens and

816
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 13: northeast New South Wales. All that rain and cloud has

817
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 13: moved down the coast and we do have an East

818
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 13: Coast low just off the coast in Newcastle. And I'm

819
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,839
Speaker 13: sure many Sydney residents are very familiar with these kind

820
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 13: of intense, powerful systems. So you have plenty going on.

821
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: And what would drive the East Coast low away?

822
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 13: Jonathan, Yes, we really need a big cold front to

823
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 13: come through without that kind of system coming in from

824
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,879
Speaker 13: the west, tend to stall and move down the coast,

825
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 13: but thankfully it's expected to kind of week off. We

826
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 13: weaken off tonight and tomorrow, but not before bringing some

827
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 13: heavy falls. We did see some huge totals, particularly across

828
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 13: western Sydney of the night one hundred and seventy one

829
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,760
Speaker 13: millimeters at Warro Gamba, but Penrith one hundred and thirty,

830
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 13: Richmond one hundred and twenty three, Liverpool one unch and

831
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 13: twenty two, Camden one hundred and twenty, so huge rainfall totals,

832
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 13: and we're expecting quite a bit more today.

833
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 2: I've been hearing that we're going to have wet weather

834
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 2: right through till May. Is that true?

835
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 13: I guess there is definitely some truth to that. We

836
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,919
Speaker 13: still we still are in that La Nina pattern which

837
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:39,240
Speaker 13: does mean wetter and more human weather across the East coast,

838
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:42,720
Speaker 13: and that'll stick with us probably till about mid April

839
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,879
Speaker 13: at this stage and only really start to weaken off then.

840
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,320
Speaker 13: So certainly looking to be another wet kind of a

841
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 13: month or so right across the East coast of Australia,

842
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 13: and then hopefully by May we do see things start

843
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 13: to drive a little bit, but definitely do prepare for

844
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 13: these kind of wet conditions to last for the next

845
00:40:57,760 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 13: step for least the next month.

846
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,360
Speaker 1: And temperatures I was floating around in Sydney Harbor on

847
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 1: the weekend, or sometimes I call it sailing, and the

848
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: water is really really warm.

849
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 13: Yeah, so it's all coming down from the Coral Sea,

850
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 13: so pretty much in northern Queensland. The seasts of the

851
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 13: temperatures are there are up to thirty degrees and these

852
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 13: kinds of systems can bring down all that really warm

853
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 13: water down towards right down even into the harbor as well.

854
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 13: So yeah, I'm sure beach go is right along the coast.

855
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 13: Over the past few weeks, I've probably noticed these, yeah,

856
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 13: quite quite warm waters and that's not good news for

857
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 13: these systems because the warmer the water, the more evaporation

858
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 13: there is are, the more rain and cloud so it

859
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 13: all kind of ties in together.

860
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 2: It seems at this time last year people were battling

861
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 2: these same kind of floods, same kind of rain. Is

862
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 2: this now an annual event?

863
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 13: Yeah, we're really hoping not. Unfortunately last summer was also Learnina,

864
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 13: and so we do get these kind of climate events,

865
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 13: we do have the increased chance of these kind of flooding. Unfortunately,

866
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,760
Speaker 13: to Sydney it was a very much the bad fortune

867
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,879
Speaker 13: aligning with very wet months and then Basically any rain

868
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,839
Speaker 13: that came through went straight into the rivers. And so

869
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 13: this is what we're seeing right now, So very much

870
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 13: urging people right across Western Sydney, the hawksmen of pen

871
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:10,359
Speaker 13: even along the Georges River as well, to keep an

872
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 13: eye those flood warnings. Very dangerous situation similar to last

873
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 13: year's much event for many communities. So pay attention to

874
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 13: those warnings, follow all the ice and police and as

875
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 13: you'll stay stay away from flooded roads and creeks.

876
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 1: Jonathan, you are a legend. Thank you for joining us.

877
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 2: Thanks Jonathan there or stay safe, thank you.

878
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 1: Thank you. It's better than me just looking at the

879
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: weather radar.

880
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 2: Isn't that so much better?

881
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 4: Jonesy and Amanda in the morning one oh one point

882
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 4: seven WSFM.

883
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 1: Hello there, it's Jonesy demand. It's nineteen past eight rain,

884
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 1: heavy falls, twenty four degrees in the city, twenty three

885
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 1: in our west. Right now it's twenty one degrees nineteen

886
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 1: past eight.

887
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 2: Well, almost half a million people across Greater Sydney are

888
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:52,840
Speaker 2: under evacuation orders, many of these in our western suburbs.

889
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 2: We thought we talked to the Minister for Western Sydney.

890
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 2: He's also the Deputy Premier Stuart Airs, Hello Stewart, good morning.

891
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 15: Morning Goes.

892
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 2: Well, what a day. What's it like being at the

893
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 2: forefront of the people of Western Sydney on.

894
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:09,319
Speaker 15: A day like this, Well, it's wet, Amanda, It's very wet.

895
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 15: There's lots of rain and our communities, particularly those who

896
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,240
Speaker 15: live in low lying areas close to the river systems,

897
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 15: will be going through some very difficult days and hours,

898
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 15: particularly if we continue to see further rain. We're seeing

899
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 15: lots of water make its way into our river systems,

900
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 15: the Hawkesbury Nepean river systems, in the areas of Penrith, Richmond,

901
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 15: windsor pit Town. That's where the highest risk is. But

902
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,319
Speaker 15: we are seeing some of these locations that people don't

903
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 15: always associate with flooding. Closers in and around More Bank

904
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:44,240
Speaker 15: and Picnic Point along the Georges River are also seeing

905
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 15: extra water in those river systems. So it's just putting

906
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 15: a lot of pressure on.

907
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: Community because at all bottlenecks around there, doesn't it in

908
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 1: the Rand Colo and then further all those river systems

909
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 1: that meet up like Colo and then you've got the

910
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 1: Georgia's River. So all that water that inundates at all,

911
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 1: just turns through a big floodplain.

912
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 15: Yeah, that's right, Jonesy. So what happens is the water

913
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 15: falls and it feeds our river systems and creeks, particularly

914
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,239
Speaker 15: a lot of those creeks make their way into the

915
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:15,959
Speaker 15: war of Gamba River and that feeds into the water

916
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:18,759
Speaker 15: Gamber Dam, which is our deep water storage. When that

917
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 15: is full, we have no capacity to hold that water back,

918
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 15: so we just have to let all the water that

919
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 15: makes its way into the river systems straight out the

920
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 15: floodgates through the river, down in the Fen River and

921
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 15: down the Hawk Sprey. And when you get the weather

922
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 15: pattern that we've got at the moment, the east coast lows.

923
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 15: That means we've got higher tides off the coast, so

924
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 15: that actually holds the water in the river, and that

925
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:43,759
Speaker 15: water chokes up, particularly a place called Sackville up in

926
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 15: the northwest of Sydney, and that doesn't allow any water

927
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 15: out through the Hawks Brey out to the ocean, and

928
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,280
Speaker 15: that's what allows the water to spill back very quickly,

929
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 15: and that's why places like Richmond and Windsor can see

930
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 15: very high floods in excess of fourteen meters We've seen

931
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 15: floods in this part of the world to get as

932
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 15: high as eight a meters and that's really that's a

933
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 15: deep flood, very dangerous flood.

934
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 1: And you've been vaguel about raising the damn wall. Sorry

935
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 1: for my language, but war Agamber dam so we're looking

936
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: at fourteen meters and you said in the newspaper today

937
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 1: there will be no impact, none, No.

938
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 15: So raising Oregamba dam wall gives us a lot more

939
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 15: resilient in our community. You can't stop floods in the

940
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:31,320
Speaker 15: Hawk Sprinipean. What you can do is minimize the impact

941
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 15: on the communities that live in low lying areas, and

942
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 15: a lot of these are historical communities. Townships like Richmond

943
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 15: and Windsor have been in their locations for almost two

944
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,919
Speaker 15: hundred years. We're not going to pick up these entire

945
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 15: communities and relocate them out of flood zones. They're going

946
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 15: to have to live alongside flood So it's about how

947
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 15: we make them more resilient. And raising war Agamber dam

948
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 15: wall will do two things. It'll hold more water back

949
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 15: for a longer perioiod of time, which will mean that

950
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:04,479
Speaker 15: some areas that would be inundated in a flood event

951
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 15: like we're experiencing now wouldn't be inundated, And for locations

952
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:12,359
Speaker 15: that are in low lying areas where inundation is inevitable,

953
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:15,760
Speaker 15: it provides us a lot more time to evacuate people.

954
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 15: So we reduce the risk to loss of life, and

955
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 15: that should be a priority for government, reducing the risk

956
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 15: to communities and providing them with infrastructure that makes them

957
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 15: more residient.

958
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 1: We had a call from one of our people on

959
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: the pub test and they raised an interesting thing, why

960
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 1: don't they keep the dam at ninety percent and then

961
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:36,400
Speaker 1: rely more on the desalination plant which lies dormant in

962
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 1: times like these.

963
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 15: Yeah, that's a really good question, Jeronesy. But the simple

964
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 15: fact of the matter is there's so much water that

965
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 15: actually flows into the dam. Last year, to give you

966
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,399
Speaker 15: the best example, we went from having the dam at

967
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 15: almost forty percent, it nearly got below forty percent, and

968
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:58,840
Speaker 15: it went from forty percent to ninety percent in three days. Wow,

969
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 15: and then a day later it was spilling. So literally

970
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 15: we went like from ten percent would be gone in

971
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 15: a matter of hours in the current arrangement. So to

972
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:13,840
Speaker 15: have any meaningful flood mitigation, we'd have to reduce Sydney's

973
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 15: drinking water supply to lower than forty percent, and no

974
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:18,799
Speaker 15: one's really going to do that.

975
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 2: Well looking at today, as you say, things happen really quickly.

976
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:26,879
Speaker 2: What's the number one message for people? And are our

977
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 2: evacuation centers going to be enough?

978
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 15: Yeah, So the main message, Amanda is to be prepared.

979
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:36,400
Speaker 15: We're coming out of a period of time where drought

980
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:39,799
Speaker 15: dominated and so therefore the natural disaster that we got

981
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 15: all familiar with with bushfires, and people who live in

982
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:47,399
Speaker 15: bushfire impacted or bushfire prome communities had a bushfire plan.

983
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:49,919
Speaker 15: They knew when to talk to their family, they knew

984
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:51,799
Speaker 15: what they would pack up in the car if they

985
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 15: have to evacuate, they knew where they would go. A

986
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 15: lot of people haven't experienced floods, particularly as adults, until

987
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:02,360
Speaker 15: last year, because significant flood we had in this community

988
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 15: was nineteen ninety. So unless you're fifty, you haven't actually

989
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:09,280
Speaker 15: had a flood experience as an adult in your entire life.

990
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 15: That's going to change the way people respond. So be prepared.

991
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 15: Have the conversation with your family, Know where your flight

992
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,760
Speaker 15: evacuation roots are. If you're staying with a family member

993
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 15: or a friend, know how to get there. If you

994
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 15: need to access an evacuation center, jump on the SS website.

995
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 15: Know where you're going. Make sure you collect important documents,

996
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 15: like your insurance documents. If you've got pets, make sure

997
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:33,719
Speaker 15: you've got a plan for what to do with them

998
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 15: as well. Preparation is the key. You're hearing a lot

999
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:42,240
Speaker 15: from the SS about evacuation warnings. That's about getting prepared

1000
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:46,240
Speaker 15: because the evacuation order, the actual order to leave your home,

1001
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 15: might come at really short notice. So the ses get

1002
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:52,440
Speaker 15: out very early with their warnings so people can be prepared,

1003
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 15: so you can get your own orders and your own

1004
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 15: affairs sorted out, so when that order comes to evacuate,

1005
00:48:57,719 --> 00:48:58,360
Speaker 15: you're ready to go.

1006
00:48:58,520 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 1: You've got to have it all. You got your Bush

1007
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:01,799
Speaker 1: five plan, you've got your pandemic plan. Now you're gonna

1008
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 1: have your flood play.

1009
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 2: It's exhausting, isn't it.

1010
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 15: That's the world we're living in. So I know we

1011
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 15: have to ask everyone to be a little bit boy scoutish,

1012
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 15: but it's to be prepared.

1013
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 1: I saw a picture in the newspaper there was a

1014
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 1: house in a flood and it was on fire, and

1015
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:17,280
Speaker 1: I said, well, these are the times that we're living.

1016
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:18,800
Speaker 2: In a biblical isn't it just?

1017
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:24,720
Speaker 15: I just hope people in that house got vaccinated.

1018
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:26,399
Speaker 1: Thank you for joining us.

1019
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:27,080

Speaker 15: We we got to keep a little bit of here.

1021
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:33,399
Speaker 1: We've got it absolutely, that's what got this country through.

1022
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 1: Western Sydney Minister's Stewardess. Thank you for joining us.

Speaker 2: And we are up and running.

1026
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:49,880
Speaker 1: We're at the parish pump today, which is like the

1027
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 1: water cooler.

1028
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:53,400
Speaker 2: That's right were I want to hear how you're getting on.

1029
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 2: Lots of people have called in saying can we let

1030
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:58,719
Speaker 2: everybody know put your lights on when you're driving and

1031
00:49:58,800 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 2: help everyone on the.

1032
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:02,279
Speaker 1: As automatic lights on, doesn't it. Yeah.

1033
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:04,280
Speaker 2: I was driving up from the South Coast and Harley

1034
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 2: said make sure you do that and I didn't know how,

1035
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:09,479
Speaker 2: and I scared that if I looked down to see how,

1036
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:10,880
Speaker 2: there'd be trouble.

1037
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 1: So what'd you do?

1038
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 2: I drove backwards so my brake lights were on.

1039
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 1: Hopefully they're always on, aren't they.

1040
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 2: But also people are wondering how you can donate. The

1041
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 2: Australian Red Cross and Vinnie's are accepting donations to provide

1042
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:26,279
Speaker 2: relief and humanitarian support for flood affected communities. Red Cross or.

1043
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:30,800
Speaker 1: AU Lisa Bringelly has joined us. Hello Lisa, good morning.

1044
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:32,000
Speaker 1: How are you going great?

1045
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 2: I can hear barking in the background. I think you're

1046
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:35,919
Speaker 2: helping dogs, Is that right?

1047
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:40,279
Speaker 9: Yeah? Where the Pound Patrol Rescue. We save the kill

1048
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 9: list of dogs from the pounds around Sydney. So yesterday

1049
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 9: we have thirteen minutes to evacuate thirty dogs and get

1050
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 9: them to higher ground. There was only actually four of

1051
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 9: us on yesterday, so we just waded through the water

1052
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:57,400
Speaker 9: and carried the dogs out up to higher ground.

1053
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 2: When I see on the news people rescuing their pets,

1054
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 2: they're being rescued from the tiniest roof cavities and they're

1055
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 2: carrying their dogs with them. You know, your heart bleeds

1056
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 2: for families and their pets. And these are rescue dogs

1057
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:13,279
Speaker 2: already having a tough trot, that's right.

1058
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 9: You know, we've already saved them from them being put

1059
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 9: to sleep at the pounds, and then they're going through this.

1060
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:20,880
Speaker 9: So they're looking at us like what's going on. And

1061
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:23,839
Speaker 9: some of them are bigger dogs, you know, we're trying

1062
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 9: to carry them through the waters and get them up

1063
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 9: the space of grounds.

1064
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:27,760
Speaker 11: It was just crazy.

1065
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 9: Yesterday we weren't expecting that the bank's broken. It just

1066
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 9: with I went back to all the videos last night.

1067
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:37,879
Speaker 9: It was thirteen minutes between the time that we've seen

1068
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:41,280
Speaker 9: it break and us getting them all up to higher ground.

1069
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:44,279
Speaker 9: It was just crazy. Asdrenaline kicked in, I think.

1070
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 2: Oh, thank you, Oh what an amazing job you're doing,

1071
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 2: and thank you.

1072
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:50,800
Speaker 1: Good on Lisa, And can I just ask you a question.

1073
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 1: I've got a part time dog. It's my daughter's boyfriend's dog.

1074
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:57,360
Speaker 1: But anyway, it came around yesterday. I was wearing a raincoat.

1075
00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 1: It was the cutest thing I've ever seen. But Amanda's

1076
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 1: says the dog shouldn't wear rain well and.

1077
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 2: Also they shouldn't They don't need raincoats, do they, Lisa, Well, not.

1078
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:08,720
Speaker 9: When they've got us us looking after them. We dried

1079
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:10,719
Speaker 9: them all off with towers. We went through that many

1080
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:13,879
Speaker 9: towers yesterday. Then we used the bed sheets. It was yeah,

1081
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,399
Speaker 9: but the raincas are definitely the raincoats are differently cute.

1082
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 1: They're so cute. I was I was all depressed watching

1083
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:20,960
Speaker 1: the news. I'm looking at the news and I just

1084
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 1: felt depressed. And then the dog came in this little raincoat.

1085
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:23,799
Speaker 4: I went.

1086
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:27,240
Speaker 2: And Lisa, you're doing the Lord's.

1087
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:28,720
Speaker 1: Legend.

1088
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:31,280
Speaker 9: Thank you so much, thank you, thank You're going.

1089
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 2: Well. Earlier this morning we spoke to Natalie Barr. She

1090
00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 2: was at Windsor Bridge. Things looked pretty dire there this morning.

1091
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 2: A couple of hours later, a couple of hours more rain,

1092
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:45,920
Speaker 2: we thought we'd check what's happening. Tom Hartley from Channel

1093
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 2: seven News is there right now. Hello, Tom Lodding morning,

1094
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:52,239
Speaker 2: how you doing very well? Tell us the story of

1095
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 2: Windsor Bridge.

1096
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:57,319
Speaker 11: Well, Windsor Bridge hopefully isn't coming down. I mean it's

1097
00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:01,760
Speaker 11: it stood up to last year's flood, the floodproof bridge

1098
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:04,320
Speaker 11: complete in twenty twenty, but we're seeing it starting to

1099
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:06,880
Speaker 11: go under again. And this is pretty much like a

1100
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:10,400
Speaker 11: waypoint for people, a marker, if you will, throw all

1101
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:12,680
Speaker 11: the locals around here. Basically, they're all coming down here

1102
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:14,360
Speaker 11: checking the bridge to see where it's at, because they

1103
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:16,880
Speaker 11: know once that bridge goes under when we're going to

1104
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 11: start seeing a lot of a lot more properties go

1105
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:19,680
Speaker 11: under too.

1106
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 1: Sadly, so, when Natalie joined us a couple of hours ago,

1107
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 1: she was saying it was at the bridge has gone

1108
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:27,920
Speaker 1: higher or lower. In the last couple of.

1109
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:31,240
Speaker 11: Hours, it's coming up, and it's coming up quite quickly,

1110
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 11: so it's quite unbelievable. And you know, deja vu from

1111
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 11: covering this last year. It's creeping up slowly on the

1112
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:41,920
Speaker 11: basically on the other side of window, it starts dipping

1113
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:45,279
Speaker 11: down a bit there. That whole road, that Bells line

1114
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:47,239
Speaker 11: of road, I mean, that's starting to go under too.

1115
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 11: And you can just see how quickly the river itself

1116
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:54,719
Speaker 11: is running and how much you know, debris and muck

1117
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:57,279
Speaker 11: and you trees. You know, we're seeing starting to see

1118
00:53:57,360 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 11: you know, some agricultural equipment as well, some shipping containers

1119
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:02,359
Speaker 11: that sort of stuff. It's all starting to happen all

1120
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 11: over again. It's just, yeah, it's pretty awful to see.

1121
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 2: And as you say, Tom Bell's line of road, there's

1122
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 2: going to be a whole lot of communities cut.

1123
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 11: Off, yeah already. I mean we've heard from people all

1124
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:16,359
Speaker 11: over these parts were who already cut off. That's why

1125
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 11: those warnings went out so early. You know, if your

1126
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:22,440
Speaker 11: house isn't going to get flooded, I mean, there's every

1127
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:24,399
Speaker 11: chance you could still get flooded into your community out

1128
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 11: here because there are so many low lying roads, so

1129
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 11: many low lying areas, a lot of people still choose

1130
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 11: to stay and live live on the flood plains and

1131
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:36,399
Speaker 11: they know what they're in for. But I mean last

1132
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:38,640
Speaker 11: year when this happened, we were told this is a

1133
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 11: one in a one hundred year event. Here we are

1134
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 11: it's not even been a year, and since the floods

1135
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 11: last year, people are still in disbelief. Despite everything that

1136
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 11: we've seen up in Queensland all then New South Wales,

1137
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 11: just to see it right here again, it's pretty unbelievable.

1138
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:54,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like we've all got short attension spans. Now

1139
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 1: do you remember what happened last time? It was only

1140
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:57,359
Speaker 1: a year ago.

1141
00:54:57,520 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 2: But as you say, Thomas, is what Nat said earlier

1142
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:02,880
Speaker 2: this morning too, that it's not even just about being flooded,

1143
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:05,359
Speaker 2: it's about being flooded in and so get your car

1144
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:07,359
Speaker 2: and go what before the waters rise?

1145
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 11: Yeah exactly. I mean I remember last year we were

1146
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:14,440
Speaker 11: talking to people who were stuck in some of these communities,

1147
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:17,400
Speaker 11: you know, probably ten k's west of here for a

1148
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:21,880
Speaker 11: couple of weeks, you know, people having to take you know,

1149
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 11: we had a local publican down the road who had

1150
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,680
Speaker 11: his helicopter ound and he was flying supplies and you know,

1151
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:28,839
Speaker 11: doing drops to people like that. So we're expecting all

1152
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:32,040
Speaker 11: that's to start happening again. The road here Windsor Bridge,

1153
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:34,400
Speaker 11: I mean, it's already too deep for ses and other

1154
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:37,680
Speaker 11: assor authorities to get over. So basically, if you didn't

1155
00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:40,200
Speaker 11: want to get just on the other side of Windsor

1156
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:42,879
Speaker 11: you're looking at a three hour detour with the amount

1157
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:45,359
Speaker 11: of roads that are cut at the moment. Very much

1158
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:47,480
Speaker 11: at the same time, you just shouldn't be going out.

1159
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:49,279
Speaker 11: I mean, that's that's the message that we're hearing, isn't that.

1160
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:51,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, thank you Tom, thank you for joining us.

1161
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:53,760
Speaker 11: No, guys, stay safe.

00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:56,359
Speaker 13: Much.

Speaker 2: My favorite Goolie of the year will win twenty thousand

1164
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:09,319
Speaker 2: dollars cash and a year's supply of chocolate from Darryl Lee.

1165
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:11,719
Speaker 2: We have a Gooe hotline number two nine oh six

1166
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:12,799
Speaker 2: one seven nine eight four.

1167
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:13,439
Speaker 1: What have we got?

1168
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:17,279
Speaker 19: What gets my gorulies is when people hit wildlife on

1169
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:21,280
Speaker 19: the roads and don't stop to assist the injured animal.

1170
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 19: Accidents happen that I just don't understand how they can't

1171
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:24,920
Speaker 19: stop and help.

1172
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:30,239
Speaker 2: Chris Brown has been talking too about wildlife in these

1173
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:34,760
Speaker 2: terrible floods and rain, little koala's being separated from their mums,

1174
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:37,280
Speaker 2: all sorts of things you are likely to see animals

1175
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:40,560
Speaker 2: being displaced, So in the midst of all of this,

1176
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 2: also keep a lookout for wildlife.

00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:49,680
