1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:01,560
Speaker 1: Are marsupials.

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 2: Some are doing okay, some are in some trouble, some

3
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,560
Speaker 2: are in some serious trouble. And Robe McManus is bringing

4
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 2: attention to this through the Projects Marsupial of the Year competition.

5
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 3: Good morning, Row, I'm a good person.

6
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: How wonderful?

7
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 3: I just sound like a good person? Does sound like that?

8
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: The side of the little fairy things?

9
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 3: A little fairy thing?

10
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 2: What actually, just so we're all on the same page

11
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 2: with it. What qualifies something as a marsupial? Is it

12
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 2: the pouch?

13
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 4: The pouch is essentially it. So you're a mammal first

14
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 4: and foremost, which of course we all ask. So probably

15
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 4: if you're listening right now, going well, I'm a mammal.

16
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 4: I've got warm blood, and I've got fur on my body,

17
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 4: whether it's hair or on my back or something like that,

18
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 4: and that little place in the bump crank, we've all

19
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 4: got it. But before we start getting excited, listener, do

20
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 4: you have a little flap of skin at the front weight?

21
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 4: Let me finish that is like a little pouch. If

22
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 4: the answer is no, after a big week I mean

23
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 4: after a big weekend, and yeah, and a lambshank.

24
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 3: And a bum bag doesn't count. It really doesn't. It

25
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 3: doesn't swing had a right out the front.

26
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 4: Just come past with a little bum bag on going

27
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 4: I'm a marsupial, I'm a Quaker.

28
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 3: Get a selfie with me, No s bugger off.

29
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:22,839
Speaker 4: So yeah, a furry, warm blooded animal that has a pouch.

30
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 4: And most people would probably think, well, that's a kangaroo

31
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 4: or a wallaby or a quaker, but there's other like

32
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 4: koalas are koalas are a marsupial. One bats are a

33
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 4: marsupial to the point where that they their pouches. A

34
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 4: one bat's pouch is the wrong way round, so essentially

35
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 4: upside down because when they dig because they burrow, if

36
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 4: they had a pocket, you just be filling your pocket

37
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 4: up dirt like a dummy fair enough, so it actually

38
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:47,639
Speaker 4: is the other way.

39
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 3: Around, so that they don't fill it up with it,

40
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 3: which I think is pretty.

41
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 5: Clever handed to dig out of prison, though would it

42
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 5: really imagine if you're in prison and a one bat comes,

43
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 5: or if you're a prison guard and a one bat's

44
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 5: coming to visit someone every day, there's some sort of

45
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 5: sure shank redemption thing going on always like frisk.

46
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 4: So what we're trying to do, yeah, is basically raise

47
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 4: awareness because most of us would would you see plenty

48
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 4: of kangaroos and koalas and bombats and things like that,

49
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 4: and you might be under the idea that they're actually

50
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 4: doing okay, but a lot of them aren't. And so

51
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 4: we're just trying to raise awareness with that. We've got

52
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 4: a whole bunch of wildlife people together to pick our

53
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 4: top twenty one, which people can vote for now at

54
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 4: Marsupial of the Year dot com dot au.

55
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 3: From that, we.

56
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 4: Will find a top ten and then we will raise

57
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 4: money for each of those animals in the in the

58
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 4: hope of giving them a better chance.

59
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 5: Okay, So plenty of West Dosi marsupials and contenders.

60
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 4: Crushing it, yeah, absolutely, Like you'd obviously say quacker, right,

61
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 4: we all know quackers.

62
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 3: Yeah numbers do we know? Numberts? Yeah?

63
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: See, they're in serious trouble, as is the.

64
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 3: Quoal, the quoll. What do you love about a qual

65
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 3: It's just so cute. Most of them they are biting.

66
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:03,399
Speaker 4: QUI body of all is like an attack possum. Okay,

67
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 4: Like if you I and I know, if you've come

68
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 4: face to face with a possum, something.

69
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 3: We're going to be a bit biting anyway.

70
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 4: But a quall is like a tree dwelling, like a possum,

71
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 4: but with very sharp teeth and is omnivorous, but that

72
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 4: means it also eats meat.

73
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 3: It'll come at you.

74
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 4: We're on.

75
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 3: What's this cute little thing? Finger? That's it your whole

76
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 3: four arm.

77
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 5: I've only seen them at the zoo, so they're pretty safe.

78
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 3: Because that's true, that's true.

79
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 4: But because because w A have, we've got our Quakers,

80
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 4: and we've got our number bats, we're doing pretty well

81
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 4: on the leaderboard. So I think we're going to sit

82
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 4: pretty at the moment. The Quacker, surprisingly was was sitting

83
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 4: further back on the list than I thought. That is

84
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 4: number five at the moment on our tally, it's a

85
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 4: it's a climbing up as we speak.

86
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: I'm on the on the website right now.

87
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:55,960

88
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 2: And for some reason, I find myself drawn to the

89
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: little cuties with the big is the Leadbetter's Possum the

90
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 2: Greater Glider, both in serious trouble.

91
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 3: The Greater Glider looks like a little gremlin. It does mog.

92
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 4: Why, yes, that's what I was, but it's not adorable face,

93
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 4: But imagine that. Imagine like you're a possum essentially when

94
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 4: you start out and then you get you know, you

95
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 4: get the little Sometimes as we all get older, you sit,

96
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 4: they're going, what's with this extra skin coming out under

97
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 4: my I don't like this bit of shot.

98
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 3: Touch shop arms. Yeah, what's happening here? Well, wait a minute,

99
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 3: what if I stretched it down to my legs? Yeah? Hello,

100
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 3: now watch me jump and I can fly. That's incredible.

101
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 4: It's like the fact that we have these different types

102
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 4: of gliders is also really cool. So yeah, they're doing

103
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 4: pretty well as far as on our leader board. They're

104
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 4: like they've got a campaign running. If you're listening right now,

105
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 4: you can get on board if you if you've got

106
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 4: a kid at a school, they can email us schools

107
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 4: at lastuple of the year dot com dot au and

108
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 4: we want to see a schools getting behind it. Pick

109
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 4: an animal off the website, get behind it, support it

110
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 4: and see if you can take it across the finish line.

111
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 2: It's human nature guests to lean towards those, you know,

112
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 2: little kutie patuities.

113
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: I want to get I want to get behind an underdog.

114
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 4: You know, I have a look airy gale of a

115
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 4: little done art. That's what I say when I paint something.

116
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 4: But there's little, there's little. Some of them are so

117
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 4: ferocious when it comes to breeding that the males will

118
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 4: will die during the calls, will do it. The fasca

119
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 4: gals will do it because they've got a very small

120
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 4: window to procreate.

121
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 3: So when it's time to get it on, get it on,

122
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 3: and then.

123
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 4: And then it's so exhausted that at the end of

124
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 4: the breedings, isn't they carcket?

125
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 5: What a way to die?

126
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 3: Man, My wife's listening to just like, try harder.

127
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 5: If your wife's listening to this, can you please shake

00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 5: your hand for me? Because in that performance in the twelve.

00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 4: Ward, did you see any of it coming? She gave

130
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 4: away the ending we were having. Okay, So for those

131
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:25,679
Speaker 4: who haven't seen it, The twelve is a courtroom drama

132
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 4: starring the wonderful Sam Neil and of course all based

133
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 4: around there's a crime that's happened my wife, the multi

Speaker 4: talented Tasma Walton, playing one of the jurors on said twelve,

135
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 4: and so of course it all comes to did the

136
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 4: perpetrator do the crime? Are they going to be found

137

138
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 4: and then she gave away a particular twist that sort

154
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 4: the perfect thing. And when the premier was doing that,

00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 4: he was near a tree kangaroo. Have you ever seen

156

157
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,280
