00:00:02
Speaker 1: Well, yesterday at this time, we foreshadowed a vote at Adelaide City Council, which took place last night. There were two different motions put forward about the parking situation in the city, which has been a huge debate on this station and around the state pretty much for the last week or so. And one of those motions got up and it was the motion by Mary Kouros, who's an Adelaide City Councillor.
00:00:26
Speaker 2: She joins you.
00:00:27
Speaker 1: Good morning to you.
00:00:28
Speaker 3: Good morning, Stacey.
00:00:30
Speaker 2: Were you surprised?
00:00:32
Speaker 3: Well, I was very, very surprised. It was a real win last night for local businesses and I'm very pleased that council supported my motion last night.
00:00:42
Speaker 1: Now, there were some changes that were made to it, some amendments that were made. What is the motion that ended up passing and what will it mean?
00:00:51
Speaker 3: Well, the motion, the substantial motion was not amended. The timing of it, so we are looking at developing a cost of trial proposal for February and March 2027. So administration will have to work pretty quick on this one. And the extra addition to that was requesting for the ministers within the trial to support free or reduced pricing for public transport. So other than that, investigating for two hours free new parks with qualified purchases, got up. Exploring free on-street parking on Saturdays and Sundays, got up. Investigating a click and collect facilities at new parks for online shopping, got up. So it's exciting to start doing something that we can help support the local businesses.
00:01:40
Speaker 2: These are all good measures. It's good that the City Council has taken active interest in getting people into the city.
00:01:46
Speaker 3: Do you think.
00:01:47
Speaker 2: Having an artificial intelligence robocop driving around the town and fining people for moral indiscretions is encouraging people to come into the city because we had a lot of people texting us this morning that have been fined for, frankly, running the face of it, seeing the sorts of things you'd get the benefit of the doubt from from a human being.
00:02:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is really concerning. We were assured by administration that the human eyes are overviewed on each of these AI technologies that is captured. But it just seems to be missing in some certain parts. And I think that warrants further investigation with them in regards to it, because it is concerning. I did see that on social media and with the dash cam and how he was caught with a fine. And I thought, well, how do we stop this from happening? Because it is stressful. And the one thing that people did tell me is that to dispute the claim, it's really clunky. And that is concerning as well. You don't want people to spend hours trying to dispute something. That is very stressful in the beginning as well.
00:02:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, and seeing the story on Seven last night, I don't have a dash cam on my car.
00:02:54
Speaker 2: No, I don't either.
00:02:55
Speaker 1: If I don't have a dash cam, would I have been able to get off? Because the AI car, even if it did have human oversight in this situation, the human oversight probably wouldn't have been able to detect the context of which, if you missed it, we were talking about it earlier, the car was reverse parking. So it was parked over a cycle lane, a bike lane. That's right. And so then the AI car drove past. So it didn't get the context. It just saw the car stopped in the bike lane and then continued driving past. So if you don't have the dash cam in your car like me, you're screwed and you've got to pay a fine for something you didn't do.
00:03:32
Speaker 3: Well, it's obviously something that we need to explore further. When we had an investigation done that, they assured us that they do have that human oversight. They assured us that they do review every one that comes through. But obviously, there are some gaps that we need to review further. And I do feel for the person that had to go through that process to actually prove his point and all for the others that have been trying to and feel as if they haven't been properly and fairly assigned.
00:04:03
Speaker 1: Well, keep us posted if anything's done on that one, Councillor Mary Curross. But in the meantime, great to hear that there's at least some investigations into some different parking options that will take place into the city.
00:04:14
Speaker 3: Thank you.
00:04:16
Speaker 2: There's a positive development. Hopefully something ultimately does come of it as well.
