Speaker 1: Now, Alex, Yes, why haven't you told us that it's
Speaker 1: the Winter Olympics in a couple of weeks time?
Speaker 5: I didn't know.
Speaker 1: I just someone came up on Instagram for me yesterday,
Speaker 1: Go and get ready, someone's here.
Speaker 5: The Winter Olympics, and I thought it was deep fake.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, way on to Google went Winter Olympics twenty
Speaker 1: and I didn't finish it before it goes. Yeah, twenty
Speaker 1: twenty six is to Winter Olympics next month. It's to
Speaker 1: Winter Olympics.
Speaker 9: Yeah, from the sixth of February until Sunday, the twenty
Speaker 9: second of February.
Speaker 5: Now, why no mention of it so far? Because we're
Speaker 5: no this is what?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 1: We come to the crux of it. If Australia aren't
Speaker 1: that good at it, you won't hear about it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, then it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: You can't do sport like this Australia. The last one
Speaker 1: was a care brush it. This is sort thing Trump
Speaker 1: would do if it was in charge of sport. On
Speaker 1: a radio show in Australia, just don't mention the Winter Olympics.
Speaker 9: We had an aerial skier, Lissa Camplin. She won gold
Speaker 9: and we haven't done much since.
Speaker 8: Yeah, we'd it's very appropriate that, Steve.
Speaker 1: You're not telling me some of those slight ski slopes
Speaker 1: you have around Australia aren't producing the next generation of champions. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I look at you.
Speaker 6: We're only on three medals at the last Winter Olympics.
Speaker 6: What do you mean only? I think that's.
Speaker 1: You think that the money it takes to train them
Speaker 1: for four years and send them out there, put them
Speaker 1: up in that Olympic village.
Speaker 7: I don't say, you up there on the sl not
Speaker 7: my job.
Speaker 5: It's not his job, is it. I'm also not going,
Speaker 5: So that's that's kind of so we got any hopes
Speaker 5: at all?
Speaker 9: I don't think so. Not really, Well, there's a couple.
Speaker 9: There's a couple and it's in Milan and Cortina. Dumb Pizzo,
Speaker 9: I like saying, dumb pets.
Speaker 1: I guess you're a country like Australia. You're not gonna
Speaker 1: smash it.
Speaker 6: No, it's too hot, you look at.
Speaker 1: Like And also if for the Summer Olympics are just
Speaker 1: more exciting, aren't they? Yes?
Speaker 5: Yeah, like that the Winter Olympics. What's there to get that?
Speaker 1: Side about watching that downhill slalom thing when they're knocking
Speaker 1: the flags over. Yeah, that's cool, they knocked them all over.
Speaker 1: But it's like a couple of hours of that. That's
Speaker 1: side to side. The ice skating is as done as anything. Yes, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I tell you what I remember years ago we got
Speaker 1: really excited. We won gold in an event called curling.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, now you need to do no cardio. There's
Speaker 1: no sweeping. Team gb that won it all had beer,
Speaker 1: guts and breasts and it was just like they've never
Speaker 1: done they've you don't need to do any gym work.
Speaker 1: And you had broom, you had brooms and they sort
Speaker 1: of cylindical thing was like held down and then two
Speaker 1: guys on their skates were just brushing the way ahead
Speaker 1: of it, like they worked for the local council clearing
Speaker 1: a path. We won gold at that and it was
Speaker 1: just like they were not having an open top bus parade.
Speaker 1: Because if you think you're bad it Winter Olympics, Team
Speaker 1: GB are terrible as well. I work colder than we
Speaker 1: yet it's cold but not cold enough, right, it's not
Speaker 1: cold like Russia.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, no, no Alps.
Speaker 5: No, there's no, there's no Alps. It's all in.
Speaker 1: It's mainly a European and Russian dominated event, isn't it.
Speaker 6: They just clean up and China.
Speaker 1: So we're not gonna hear anything come unless as a medal.
Speaker 9: We are good at snowboarding Scottie James. Yeah, amazing snowboarder. Yeah,
Speaker 9: we've also got Valentino Gucelli. And I tell you what,
Speaker 9: Alex beonest? Have you just had a quick Google search?

Speaker 1: he got made this bloody wedding dress he's got it
Speaker 1: was huge. Have not to try to stand on that,

Speaker 5: Have we got here?
Speaker 1: Zoey Hi? I love Zoe. Sorry, what's your story for us.
Speaker 1: All this to your weakest claim to fame.
Speaker 15: So my weakest claim to fame is that my second
Speaker 15: cousin was one of the queen's chefs.
Speaker 5: That is big.
Speaker 1: So we've had two Farnum's two wars.
Speaker 5: You're right, actually so actually four royalty ones. This is great.
Speaker 5: One of her chefs.
Speaker 15: Yeah, one of her chefs in Buckingham Palace.
Speaker 1: What a great gig. I mean, she must have earned
Speaker 1: so many interesting stories.
Speaker 15: Yeah, he had a lot of inting stories and it
Speaker 15: actually skyrocketed his career. Yeah, just really really good.
Speaker 1: Well, it's a It's a big flex on any resume,
Speaker 1: isn't it if you're applying for a chef's job, you know,
Speaker 1: an IRA seller or part and.
Speaker 5: One of the chefs to the queen. It's fussy Eta
Speaker 5: as well.
Speaker 1: You overburned that snag on the barber chef, throw in
Speaker 1: your face.
Speaker 6: Did he say what her favorite meal was?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 14: I think because she had so many, I think he
Speaker 14: might have Yeah, like I yeah, I don't think that
Speaker 14: he kind of knew what her favorite was because there
Speaker 14: were just so many.
Speaker 1: Now tell me this, there's different areas, oh, for chefs
Speaker 1: to specialize in.
Speaker 5: Was he a pastry chef.
Speaker 15: I don't think he was a pastry chef. I've kind
Speaker 15: of got a feeling he was more of a sioux chef.
Speaker 1: Oh, she loves sue food in the morning. She woul
Speaker 1: always say, if I'm up, get the sioux on, crank it.
Speaker 5: I love this.
Speaker 1: And also any chef could say this because actually, how
Speaker 1: do you know you will? Look, here's a selfie meet
Speaker 1: with with the Queen and a lot of Sue that
Speaker 1: I just made up for a fresh and look she's
Speaker 1: giving the old double thumbs up.
Speaker 5: All right, So thank you very much for giving us
Speaker 5: a call.
Speaker 15: Have a good day, you two guys.
Speaker 3: Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Hey, good morning. This is the Christian O'Connell Show. Now,
Speaker 1: today is a very important day. It is a national
Speaker 1: day of Morning Dual. The next ten minutes, the Prime
Speaker 1: Minister's going to be calling the show. Now. I know
Speaker 1: a lot of you are new to the show and
Speaker 1: you're trying to work out what there is show about.
Speaker 1: This is not a show where we're going to have
Speaker 1: politicians on every single week. Today is not a day
Speaker 1: for politics. It's a day of remembrance, a day of
Speaker 1: coming together after what happened after the atrocity in Bondai.
Speaker 1: So the Prime minis there is the elected leader of
Speaker 1: this country and I thought we'd go right to top
Speaker 1: to find out what is happening today at one minutes
Speaker 1: past seven and what is the invitation for all of
Speaker 1: us tonight and joined today to our on a national
Speaker 1: day of morning. So you the next ten minutes, the
Speaker 1: Prime Minister is on the one thing that we can
Speaker 1: all take over the last couple of weeks, there were
Speaker 1: so many incredible acts of selfless courage and kindness and
Speaker 1: that is the real heart of Australia.
Speaker 3: Christian O'Connell show, go on podcast now.
Speaker 1: At any moment now we are going to be taking
Speaker 1: a call from the Prime Minister who is calling the
Speaker 1: show today very important day for all of us. It
Speaker 1: is a national day of Morning after the Bondi attacks
Speaker 1: and to tell us all about it and why this matters,
Speaker 1: and the invitation tonight as well. One minute past seven
Speaker 1: is the Prime Minister, welcome back to the show.
Speaker 5: Good to be with you.
Speaker 1: Now tell us about today. This is a national day
Speaker 1: of mourning. It's been builders Light will Win, a gathering
Speaker 1: of unity and remembrance which is beautiful and what does
Speaker 1: that mean to you, Prime Minister.
Speaker 2: Well, it is words that have come from the spiritual
Speaker 2: leader of the Habat Jewish community there in Bondai, Rabbi Alma,
Speaker 2: and I think they're very poetic and it says a
Speaker 2: lot sometimes just a few words can. This needs to
Speaker 2: be a moment of remembrance for the fifteen innocent lives
Speaker 2: that were taken on that devastating evening at Bondou Beach,
Speaker 2: but it also needs to be a message of hope
Speaker 2: that light will win. It was the first night of Harneka,
Speaker 2: which the Jewish community celebrate the victory of light over darkness.
Speaker 2: It's a really positive message of hope and a gathering
Speaker 2: of unity. Is calling for all of us Australians, Jewish
Speaker 2: and non Jewish, to commemorate the day in a collective spirit,
Speaker 2: to remember why we are the greatest nation on earth,
Speaker 2: that we are a nation that do respect each other.
Speaker 2: People of different faiths, different backgrounds have come to make
Speaker 2: Australia their home and that unity is what is so
Speaker 2: important going forward. So I think this will be a
Speaker 2: moment of unity and a moment of hope, but also
Speaker 2: an opportunity for Australia to look forward as well and
Speaker 2: to cherish what makes us such a great nation.
Speaker 1: Well said, I think it's a lovely thing. I think
Speaker 1: it's a very important thing for all of us tonight.
Speaker 1: So it's a one minute past seven and what is
Speaker 1: it that you know there are a lot of people
Speaker 1: listening all across Australia right now, Prime Minister, and so
Speaker 1: your words can really help me tonight. What can people
Speaker 1: do because people want to solidarity. We're living in very
Speaker 1: divided times, you know, around the world. We see the news.
Speaker 1: We see the news like Bondi happening here as well.
Speaker 1: This doesn't feel like Australia. So remembrance is also about
Speaker 1: remembering what it is what matters to us to get
Speaker 1: around each other tonight. So what can people do tonight?
Speaker 1: At one minute past seven?
Speaker 2: That's right, Well, at one minute past seven, we're asking
Speaker 2: that the nation pause for a minute silence out of
Speaker 2: respect for the victims of this terrorist attack. During the day,
Speaker 2: flags will be flown at half masts at all comme
Speaker 2: op and state buildings around the country, and buildings and
Speaker 2: landmarks across the country like the mcg the story Bridge,
Speaker 2: Adelaide town Hall, off the stadium will be lit up
Speaker 2: this evening and we'll see an installation which is fifteen
Speaker 2: pillars of light shining brightly into the night sky right
Speaker 2: across Australia. And the other thing that people can do
Speaker 2: this evening is light a candle and put it in
Speaker 2: their window sill or the front of their home out
Speaker 2: of respect as well as a symbol of remembrance, of
Speaker 2: mourning and solidarity as well. Will be a thing. The
Speaker 2: other really something that I have been lifted up by
Speaker 2: this concept that the Jewish community have of a mitzvah,
Speaker 2: which is essentially an active kindness, compassion and a way
Speaker 2: of reaching out. It essentially can be volunteering, donating some
Speaker 2: money to a charity, helping a neighbor, knocking on the
Speaker 2: door asking people okay who might be living alone or
Speaker 2: people who are lonely, just an active kindness. It's a
Speaker 2: really lovely concept to show that we are a country
Speaker 2: that value that attribute that we have of kindness and generosity,
Speaker 2: and it is it is a beautiful thing. I think
Speaker 2: that I've been spoken to by a number of the
Speaker 2: family members who lost loved ones in this tragedy, and
Speaker 2: it is a really positive way of responding.
Speaker 1: I know you've spoken with a lot of the families,
Speaker 1: you spent a lot of time with them.
Speaker 5: How are they all doing?
Speaker 1: You know, it's you know, it's a chance for us
Speaker 1: to show that tonight we stand together, but also we
Speaker 1: stand with them in their grief as well, that they're
Speaker 1: not forgotten. I know time does move on, but actually
Speaker 1: it's a chance for all of Australia to stand together
Speaker 1: with the Jewish community and people who lost their lives.
Speaker 1: But the families who are left behind without those family members.
Speaker 16: They try.
Speaker 2: They know it's been an incredibly tough period. These are
Speaker 2: people who were celebrating their faith in an event at
Speaker 2: Bondi Beats is such an iconic location when people think
Speaker 2: about Australia, many of the shots that will be taken
Speaker 2: overseas will be of that beautiful beach and it's a
Speaker 2: place of peace and gathering and the local community there,
Speaker 2: the Jewish community have gathered there for many years for
Speaker 2: the first night of Harneker and it's an open event.
Speaker 3: They have.
Speaker 2: Pets and things for the children. They have a gathering
Speaker 2: with food and music and it's a really positive event.
Speaker 2: And the fact that fifteen people lost their lives but
Speaker 2: many more injured as well. People are visited in hospitals,
Speaker 2: some are still doing it incredibly, incredibly tough. It's a
Speaker 2: difficult period and this is a time where I think
Speaker 2: the whole of Australia can wrap their arms around the community.
Speaker 2: Because it was a deliberate and conscious evil targeting of
Speaker 2: the Jewish community as well. It has had an impact
Speaker 2: on the entire Jewish Australian community. So I think it
Speaker 2: is a way of us reaffirming that we not only
Speaker 2: want people to celebrate their faith and who they are.
Speaker 2: All are enriched by the diversity in our community and
Speaker 2: we really want to see tonight as and today is
Speaker 2: a real opportunity to reaffirm that.
Speaker 1: I think us a love the invitation for us. Aul
Speaker 1: tell me this, we talk about those who are injured.
Speaker 1: How is armored? I know that everyone want to know
Speaker 1: how is the great Man? How is armored? I understand
Speaker 1: he's obviously he's still going through his own journey of
Speaker 1: healing as well. Is he in America at the moment
Speaker 1: getting treatment?
Speaker 5: Is that right?
Speaker 2: He is now? I think he has returned by understanding,
Speaker 2: is that he is back here? He had many of
Speaker 2: the people who were injured essentially had shrapnel fragments and
Speaker 2: still in them, and it's expected that there will be
Speaker 2: a number of operations armed Hlhammad is so positive though
Speaker 2: I visited him in hospital in the days after the attack,
Speaker 2: a genuine hero and he, you know, is very positive
Speaker 2: going forward. But many of the people there is a
Speaker 2: young man Yankee super who was a volunteer in what
Speaker 2: is the Jewish version of Saint John's Ambulance, will be
Speaker 2: more familiar to too. I think many of the listeners
Speaker 2: he has literally I've seen his x rays. He has
Speaker 2: literally hundreds of bits of shrapnel still in him and
Speaker 2: he's torso he was unbelievable that he was able to survive.
Speaker 2: When you see this another x ray that shows a
Speaker 2: bullet very close to his lung and one of the
Speaker 2: lungs has been contracted as a lot smaller than the
Speaker 2: other one, you literally can see the damage that's done, and.
Speaker 5: You know, he.
Speaker 2: Is so positive. It's extraordinary. I've met with him a
Speaker 2: couple of times. He was in Canberra this week and
Speaker 2: I also met with him in Sydney, and he's just
Speaker 2: a delightful young man who's absolutely determined to make a
Speaker 2: positive contribution to the nation and there's no bitterness, There's
Speaker 2: nothing there but joy and pride. This is a guy
Speaker 2: who you know was is there again one of the
Speaker 2: people essentially running towards danger, helping out his fellow people,
Speaker 2: fellow humanity. He's a remarkable young man and I've been
Speaker 2: privileged to meet so many courageous, thoughtful, positive people as
Speaker 2: a result of what occurred. It's been a real privilege.
Speaker 2: They've been so generous in welcoming me into homes and
Speaker 2: synagogues and having meetings. I've had them at Kirribilly House
Speaker 2: and other members of the community have been at a
Speaker 2: multi house at the Governor Generals and this week I
Speaker 2: sat down on Monday in my office in Parliament House
Speaker 2: and it's a community that is mourning, is going through
Speaker 2: an incredibly difficult time, and I just hope and I'm
Speaker 2: sure that it will be a positive, uplifting experience for
Speaker 2: them today as much as it will also be very difficult.
Speaker 2: They're very much missing their loved ones.
Speaker 1: I think it's a very important thing that we mark
Speaker 1: today because I think it's also the show that we're
Speaker 1: with the people who lost their loved ones, but also
Speaker 1: also all those stories you just shared that we don't
Speaker 1: know about, to show that we see what they did
Speaker 1: and that's the true spirit of Australia. It's not the attack,
Speaker 1: it's those stories you have talked about. That young guy
Speaker 1: was shrapping in him, who ran towards danger. That's the
Speaker 1: real story of what's happened over the last couple of
Speaker 1: weeks and that's why today really is a day to
Speaker 1: reflect that back to those people as well, and to
Speaker 1: show the Jewish community that we stand united with them
Speaker 1: as well. Prime Minister. I know you've got a lot
Speaker 1: on today. Thank you very much for talking to us.
Speaker 1: It's at one minute past seven tonight. That's right, isn't it?
Speaker 2: Light well Wed, that's right, Thanks very much, Christian.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 3: Christian O'Connell show.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Welcome to the Christian O'Connell Show on Gold.
Speaker 1: It is day four now. If you're new to the show,
Speaker 1: first of all, thank you and welcome. Every day this
Speaker 1: week around about Harpos four, I met myself a cup
Speaker 1: of tea and I have been calling back everyone who's
Speaker 1: been on air with us this week.
Speaker 5: It'spent to ten listeners yesterday.
Speaker 1: Left voicemails for three who missed my call or maybe
Speaker 1: intentionally missed my call.
Speaker 5: Is that English guy? Was he doing house calls forty four?
Speaker 1: And I'm getting to know a lot of people who
Speaker 1: are giving the show a go in Sydney and it
Speaker 1: means the most to me and the team. And I
Speaker 1: know the show's new for some of you here in Melbourne.
Speaker 1: You might have just come across recently, but we've been
Speaker 1: on air together in this country now for seven half
Speaker 1: years since I moved here. The whole thing for me,
Speaker 1: what the show is about is about bringing people together,
Speaker 1: which is why I want to get the Prime in
Speaker 1: restaurant now. I've had quite a few emails and I
Speaker 1: get it. Not everyone voted for him. There's never been
Speaker 1: less trust in our elected leaders. I understand and all
Speaker 1: of that today. Though for me, the reason why I
Speaker 1: wanted to get the Prime Minister on was actually because
Speaker 1: this is Dave of Unity and there are quite a
Speaker 1: few people who are email is saying please don't get
Speaker 1: the Prime minister again. He's this, that and the other.
Speaker 1: And the thing is, I don't care. Today's in a
Speaker 1: day for politics. It's actually about bringing us together. And
Speaker 1: i'd advise you all if you're sending those emails to me,
Speaker 1: don't bother do something more positive and enjoyable with your
Speaker 1: time and actually paused you on this day of remembrance
Speaker 1: and unity. What are you going to do today that
Speaker 1: is about that and speaks to that. I don't care

Speaker 1: What is like to me and my family up is
Speaker 1: there is a bird's nest just under the gutter attached
Speaker 1: to our house, and there have been birds growing up
Speaker 1: and the first.
Speaker 5: One flew away and left the nest yesterday.
Speaker 1: Yes, And what's been interesting is the reaction from my
Speaker 1: nineteen and twenty one year old daughters, Ruby and Lewis,
Speaker 1: who have over the last three years flared the nest.
Speaker 1: And my nineteen year old daughter who left home last
Speaker 1: year to go to university. She's been out there feeding them. Oh,
Speaker 1: that is so hid But do you need do we
Speaker 1: need to buy organic strawberries.
Speaker 5: A pesticide version.
Speaker 1: I'll have the organic strawberries. Seriously, I'm going to be
Speaker 1: wigging me living in that nest soon the cost of
Speaker 1: these strawberries. You're feeding them, but they're tiny, little tom tums.
Speaker 1: They're happy with some earth and one.
Speaker 8: How are you doing though You've had all your your
Speaker 8: daughters leave the nest and they've got more birds leaving
Speaker 8: than nest flying from the gutter?
Speaker 6: Are you okay?
Speaker 1: Two things happened at the same time yesterday. Rio, So
Speaker 1: my nineteen year old daughter are lower she's filming it.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 1: I don't know what it's for Snapchat. I don't know
Speaker 1: what they do with all this endless filming of content. Anyway,
Speaker 1: she's filming it, and I notice she's getting a bit emotional,
Speaker 1: and I said, listen, it's the right thing to have to.
Speaker 1: They have to leave the nest. And actually, if you
Speaker 1: look in that nest, they're too big. They're getting too big.
Speaker 1: It's actually a little bit uncomfortable. They're becoming a bit
Speaker 1: of a pain now. And I think the dad and
Speaker 1: mam are going, it's time to get you out this nest.
Speaker 6: They're not paying rent.
Speaker 1: Int you's a little bit testing now. Go find your
Speaker 1: own strawberries. Go fight strawies. And also it's the sight.
Speaker 1: They're going to get bored in that monkey old nest.
Speaker 1: Some of the nest is made from a coffee garden
Speaker 1: as well. Why they couldn't tear up with their little
Speaker 1: beaks of mum and dad. So I said, this is
Speaker 1: that's not life in there. They need to leave, to
Speaker 1: fly away and see what an amazing world it is
Speaker 1: high up there. As I'm saying this, I'm getting choked up.
Speaker 1: My daughter's getting choked and she goes, oh, oh this
Speaker 1: is about us leaving her?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought you a teacher. Time Let me chop
Speaker 5: up some over bryce strawberries for you.
