Speaker 2: At exactly six am, Yes, announced that it had just hit twenty eight million. But then every seventy five seconds we get.
00:00:56
Speaker 4: A new per You're going to attempt to do the mathematics down to the it's nine after six roughly you work it out. I'm going to continue telling the good folks what else is coming on the program, and then we'll get your guest. We're going to talk property prices in Adelaide as well.

If you've got a fallen tree where you are, if it's pouring where you are, if there's been wind, we want weather reports right throughout the morning. We'd love to hear from your eight double two three double O double. It sounds like the bulk of the winds will be coming through a little bit later this afternoon in Texas of course as well at any time on zero before at zero eight thirty ninety five, David, your final answer.
00:01:59
Speaker 2: Is twenty eight million, seven twenty eight million and seven. Yeah, across the well, I don't know. I didn't care enough to check. Seventy five seconds a person. A new person is either born or arrives here every seventy five second.
00:02:11
Speaker 4: Twenty eight million and seven got us thinking, So we've crossed into the twenty eight million mark. The significance of the number twenty eight? Can an even think of anything good about the number twenty eight? Does the number twenty eight? Is it anyone's lucky number? Does it mean anything to anyone listening? The nation's crossed into twenty eight million? People be for a little while.
00:02:29
Speaker 2: There's a good parrot called the twenty eight parrot. It's the twenty eight parrot. It's from Paul Lincoln. I think. Let me check this, the twenty eight.
00:02:37
Speaker 4: Parrot Proclamation Day twenty eighth of December eighteen thirty six, proclamation over the day that South Australia came to be. What about Richie Benot, Captain Australia on twenty eight separate occasions. Well, that's a good stat the number twenty eight in Australian history, folks.
00:02:54
Speaker 2: So the twenty eight parrot is a subspecies of the Australian ring neck. It gets its name from its distinct whistling contact call, which sounds exactly like a person saying twenty eight twenty eight.
00:03:06
Speaker 4: That's exceptional.
00:03:08
Speaker 2: I'm happy with that entry. That's a fantastic entry.
00:03:11
Speaker 4: You must sir win a meet dre, thank you eight double two three double o double the number twenty eight.
00:03:16
Speaker 2: How do we feel about being twenty eight million? Well, I guess the answer that is thirty one percent of Australia wants to vote for one nation.
00:03:23
Speaker 4: I think it's eight million.
00:03:24
Speaker 2: We're still not as populous as Delhi. No, we're still not as populous as Tokyo. We are marginally more populous than Elder Fed than Mexico, the Federal District of Mexico aka Mexico City, and we are We're still smaller, I think than what the Indonesians call jab Bota Beck, which is the combination of Jakarta, bogor Becaussi and one other satellite city that's right next to Jakarta. So that that's why they're moving their capital. And those four places have in cities.
00:04:05
Speaker 4: And is it not sinking your gikata has got a few problems, Yeah, Jakada has some real issues.
00:04:10
Speaker 2: Car spells like a toilet.
00:04:12
Speaker 4: It's the idea they just picked up a place. It is underrated historically, the idea they just picked up and moved their city, their capital.
00:04:20
Speaker 2: Is it is remarkable.
00:04:21
Speaker 4: Do you know think you're right? In the global context, no history has saying it's it's we haven't talked about it that much. It sounds like the kind of thing that should have happened in you know, you know, some prehistoric time. But it's happened in the last two decades. It comes and moved its capital.
00:04:39
Speaker 2: It started from scratching a love from leg supporters for John Winn number.
00:04:42
Speaker 4: Two, number twenty keep me numbers your twenty eights coming through you your right to point out how small twenty eight million is in the in the international context.
00:04:54
Speaker 2: But what makes it significant?
00:04:55
Speaker 4: So if you go back to the year two thousand, which I don't know, to me doesn't feel like that long ago. Still two thousand, the prediction was Australia's population would hit somewhere between twenty four and twenty eight million by twenty fifty one.
00:05:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is it, This is this is exactly the problem. I can actually remember.
00:05:16
Speaker 4: We're had a schedule lot of this country I reckon it was in the.
00:05:19
Speaker 2: Last few years. I old a story for The Australian about the twenty fifth million Australian. Yeah, well twenty five million wasn't that long ago. There's a great text about it summing it all up from our great mate Rob. He says, place just landed in Sydney from India. Our population's there, twenty eight million, two hundred and fifty six.
00:05:38
Speaker 4: Deed in Para Hills is called in with a number twenty eight for us day, good morning, good.
00:05:44
Speaker 5: Morning, number twenty eight. If everyone remembers Darren Spis from the Potalay make Pies football club through the eighties and ninety seven premierships, missed out on his eighth because one of them he was injured. So number twenty eight gret significant number at the Potala Magpies Football Club.
00:05:59
Speaker 2: Great pick.
00:06:00
Speaker 4: Absolutely, that was the golden near for one of the many gold nears for Port.
00:06:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, hugem period of success. You know what I can't wait to do talk to the women who survived the quicksand glenelga Ah. Yes, I'm really excited about this interview. We'll be talking to them just after seven o'clock. So in case you don't know, folks. Was on the TVs last night, wasn't it? The tires had the story these this woman was at Glenelg North just walking along. Suddenly that was a good soundfeit wasn't that it was excellent? She go on. By this morning the twenty eight parrot and the slurp that's the sound textually got an unpleasant sound sucked in the quicksand aah like Indiana Jones standing out, ah, going down, down.
00:06:45
Speaker 4: Down, As she described on seven News last night. She said she thought her and her friend thought it was really funny until she realized it was really deep and she couldn't get out and was stuck in it for an hour, for over an hour before emergency services came and dug out back. Apparently I didn't realize this. I bet our Glenelge listeners will be able to attest to this. There are signs there now because this happened going back about a week or so, just over a week, but the council's put up sign saying beware of the quicksand because it's not the only incident at the tap sounds like a reverse golden sack truck, doesn't It is it's the council's Johnny on the spot. Could that they took the time time out from the henic schedule of closing Jenny Road again to do that.
00:07:26
Speaker 2: There's no quick sand on yellow lines either, which is good to know. That's what you call them back end compliment.
00:07:32
Speaker 4: But no, they've got signs up so our people will certainly know about it. Lots of twenty eight's coming through, lots of footy twenty eighths. Paul Porpolo from Hawthorn and of course Nord's out of Australia wore the number twenty eight. Thank you for that, Matt. Someone says, I feel like it was better back when we only had seventeen million people. I'm not sure if it was the time, but it was a direct correlation to the population. So sevent eight million, I think the twenty we had nineteen million. Yeah, which is that just feels like only yesterday? It does, doesn't it. I'm just gonna look what countries are we comparable to.
00:08:10
Speaker 2: Europe? Would be bigger than hapesa countries now list of countries by population did so the biggest. I hang on, it's a stupid pie chart. I don't wank like a pie chart.
00:08:23
Speaker 4: No, don't, don't do pie charts. Sixteen after six eight double two three double o double is the number. We're looking for the significance of the number twenty eight in our history. Given twenty eight million people as of about thirty minutes ago.
00:08:36
Speaker 2: We're not even close to the top. So we're still behind Peru, We're behind Madagascar, We're behind Coache Devoir, We're behind Cameroon, Nepal, Nier, we are almost neck and neck with Noa're not We're half a million behind Venezuela. Venezuela are well. There's actually a few looks like it's a year or so out of date, because this has us a twenty seven point three. But for the purposes of this argument on world omitters dot info, Australia is the fifty fifth most populous country in the world, nestled between Venezuela and North Korea. There's a fine company to be in there. What about that we're ahead of Syria on twenty six million, and we're also ahead of Mali spelled m Ali. I wonder if at some point Malim tried to change the name of South Australia.
00:09:29
Speaker 4: That Mali just call Mali well, he's already got his African colony happening, doesn't he.
00:09:33
Speaker 2: So malis Dan Marley's on twenty five million series twenty six, North Korea twenty six, Australia twenty eight.
00:09:40
Speaker 4: It is remarkable to track the history of it. So it was seventeen million in nineteen ninety nineteen, in nineteen ninety nine, and then since then it has just exploded twenty eight million as of twenty twenty six.
00:09:52
Speaker 2: What's the most populous country on Earth? India or China?
00:09:55
Speaker 4: It's India. Yeah, this is because China's declining. China's actually peaked and is going out going backwards. What's third Indonesia? No, the US that surprises me or to see Indonesia. I would see Indonesia or Pakistan, but it's India, China, US, Indonesia, Pakistan, Nigeria.
00:10:20
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:10:20
Speaker 4: Well the African the African continent's the only place with birth rates now that above replacement. So most of the rest of the world will start going backwards. Is just a redistribution of people natural birth rates are meeting. Most of the place is going to decline like Japan, and most of Asia is doing it. A lot of Western Europe setting that way.
00:10:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting it. So you look at in the absence of immigration, that is, so the yearly change on this top ten, India is point eight up, China is point two down, US point five up. That would be all immigration. Yeah, what about that wall. Yeah, it was not working. There's a lot of gaps in it's still but then Russia is number nine iron, but it's going down by point five a year. Nigeria, to your point, Will is going up two point one a year. Yeah, and two point one percent of quarter of a billion year. There's a lot.
00:11:11
Speaker 4: It'll be among the biggest, very very quickly. Our albut and correspond at. Dave Lloyd says, nineteen twenty eight, the Right Brothers flew from San Francisco to Brisbane in the Southern Cross, the first ever trans Pacific crossing. The You go, the number twenty eight and its significance in our history is what we're trying to tease out this morning. With twenty eight million Australians now in.
00:11:32
Speaker 1: Existence, knockdown Bill two with metro homes, sell one and move on, keep the other as an investment. Metro homes they do it all for you.
00:11:44
Speaker 3: David Penberthy and Will Goodings five double a breakfast twenty.
00:11:48
Speaker 4: Two minutes after six celebrating the number twenty eight This morning hasn't been anyone's personal favorite number yet. Don't know one of the personal connection, but lots of listeners are pointing out the connection to southust to the number twenty eight, to some of their favorite data points, like Chris who says Port has won twenty eight showdowns, three fewer than the Crows. Thank you, Chris, and also Simon says twenty eighth of January nineteen ninety four, Shane Warn produced his famous hat trick against England at the SCG. Yes, the twenty eighth Prime Minister of Australia was Tony Abbott. Tony Abbitt the twenty eighth Prime Minister of Australia.
00:12:22
Speaker 2: I wasn't saying yes, I knew that Warning had his hat trick on the twenty eighth. I was just saying I do remember that hat trick, yeah, and it was excellent nineteen ninety four.
00:12:29
Speaker 4: Any connection to the number twenty eight in sport, in politics, in life, in simply being lucky, we'd love to hear at eight double two three double o double ow is the number. Let's talk about citrus, shall we, because it's that time of year. Lots of talk about the weather, not too much talk about this delightful industry. Mark Dokie is the chair of Citrus Essa. Mark, good morning to you morning fellas.
00:12:52
Speaker 2: Now, Mark, I've decided I love citrus trees. Of all the fruit trees, I'm so bloody sick of rats eating my pears, my apples, but the one tree left standing in my yard apart from the occasional wasp drama which is just cut off with the second tiers. Anyway, citrus. It's a tough tree, isn't it. Citrus trees, It is.
00:13:10
Speaker 6: A tough tree.
00:13:11
Speaker 7: It's actually a drought tolerant tree. But you don't get much quality fruit off a drought growing tree.
00:13:16
Speaker 2: M we don't get the sweetness, so either, do you not correct? Were those straight oranges that they can only make that bit of marmalade out of?
00:13:25
Speaker 8: Yes's right?
00:13:28
Speaker 2: With lots of discussion about where the conditions mark, what are they like?
00:13:31
Speaker 4: Growing wise, the last year.
00:13:34
Speaker 7: Has been a bit of a mixed bag, but in the end it's turning out okay.
00:13:37
Speaker 2: Lot.
00:13:37
Speaker 7: We had a pretty windy spread and we've had a pretty hot summer as everyone knows. Then we had a lot of rain though in March and that hill size things up. So on average it has been pretty good year for growing.
00:13:47
Speaker 4: Is it right to talk about it as some sort of single beast the citrus industry or there are pockets of it that are doing better than.
00:13:53
Speaker 7: Others variety by variety, some varieties are doing better than others. But on average citrus industry is doing pretty well in South Australia. We're in Australia because the world wants their stuff. Domestic customers want air stuff, so that's a good place to be.
00:14:08
Speaker 2: I remember probably about twenty years ago about wasn't there that big drama about the importation of orange juice concentrate from Brazil.
00:14:15
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's still goes on today. We have our own fresh juice industry, but we don't concentrate too much in Australia.
00:14:21
Speaker 2: Yeah right, But trade wise, does it feel like the market like the industry is stable? Because I can also remember around the time people ripping out orange trees and all of that. But it so it was pretty good now, doesn't it?
00:14:34
Speaker 9: Absolutely?
00:14:35
Speaker 7: Like I think we went from growing juice fruit and the competition with Brazil and Florida to growing eating fruit. That was our change, all the trees that got ripped out. We're older juice fruit trees.
00:14:49
Speaker 10: Now.
00:14:49
Speaker 7: We export as much as we possibly can if it's good quality, and we don't focus on juice anymore.
00:14:55
Speaker 4: Where does it typically go, Mark, Most of.
00:14:58
Speaker 7: Asia, it goes China and Japan were our biggest export customers, and then some to America and then some to India. And there was some guard in the Middle East. But let's see how that goes.
00:15:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, a few dramas there at the moment, that's for sure.
00:15:12
Speaker 4: Good well, Mark, great to hear the industry is doing well.
00:15:14
Speaker 3: Mate.
00:15:14
Speaker 4: It's nice to talk to someone is the head of a group that is benefiting from the weather at the moment. Mark Doaky, the chair of Citrus Essay.
00:15:23
Speaker 2: Citrus love. I love the smell. I love the that oil that comes out of the leaves. I love the way you peel men are ins and you know for the next five hours that you've pilled me and are in. Its amazing those oils that come out of citrus.
00:15:36
Speaker 4: Absolutely well, let's go to Blake viewed. Julie got a number twenty eight for us.
00:15:40
Speaker 11: Yeah, good morning boy. On the periodic table.
00:15:43
Speaker 12: Nickel is number twenty eight.
00:15:45
Speaker 2: Okay, there you go, Nicol. I love I love science.
00:15:48
Speaker 12: And all that sort of dramas. So yeah, anything to do with science and very cool and all.
00:15:55
Speaker 2: That sort of yeah, just cool. It really is, Julie, good one. Thank you for that.
00:16:00
Speaker 4: Kevin coming in getting some terrific number twenty eight through A lot of people pointed out February has a lot of twenty eight days.
00:16:06
Speaker 2: But it's sort of not unique to Australia that one, is it. No, No, that's true as far as we can tell. Phil in only Beaches, I reckon it must be the only person in Adelaide that's killed a lemon tree. How did you kill it? Phil? It's pretty hard to kill.
00:16:20
Speaker 4: He doesn't seem happy about it, Phil. Everyone needs a lemon tree. You have a lemonry, will, No, don't have a lemon tree.
00:16:27
Speaker 2: What do you do for lemons? I just buy them from the shop from people who are good at buying lemons. That's a common strategy, I guess, isn't it? And not having a lemonry.
00:16:37
Speaker 13: So.
00:16:37
Speaker 4: Ben Jordan says that Bradman's first test was in nineteen twenty eight. Says he didn't bat on the Friday, he batted on the Saturday and Wednesday only made nineteen and one and Australia lost by six hundred and seventy five runs.
00:16:50
Speaker 2: An inauspicious debut. If only he made four more runs.
00:16:54
Speaker 4: Yeah, if he made a twenty three or a five there, Yeah, quiz questions will be a lot easier.
00:16:59
Speaker 2: He's telling me.
00:17:00
Speaker 4: Tom Ren's in the five double a Breakfast the Studio, step up to a huge price stop in the new mitsubi A Sex and thirty four nine ninety drive Away Augustine, Emetzuvishi, Nailsworth and Morrison Lakes.
00:17:09
Speaker 2: Morning, Are you ready?
00:17:10
Speaker 3: Morning?
00:17:10
Speaker 14: Will, Morning David. We're getting close to the World Cup, aren't we. We're not far off. We probably need to do a bit of a preview.
00:17:16
Speaker 2: Friday week Yeah, ten thirty am.
00:17:20
Speaker 14: Well, I reckon we need to do a bit of a preview on the Aussie group at least, don't we next week?
00:17:24
Speaker 4: And maybe the favorite.
00:17:25
Speaker 2: Games Turkey, USA Paraguay, Paraguay difficult gro If Australia beat the USA in the USA, that will have to rank in the top ten sporting moments in Australian history.
00:17:36
Speaker 14: Yeah, it'd be right up there. I don't think the USA think Australian's much of a chance. It would be huge if they win that game, they'll probably go through.
00:17:45
Speaker 2: Just on the back. Yeah, they're really insufferable. I think they've dismissed Australia. Well, one of the leading football commentators has been sort of skylarking about it. We should get out the audio and play it as part of our bill. I'm saying, just put these put it down as three points. These guys are hopeless.
00:18:05
Speaker 14: Well, the OSSes probably only need three points to go through because remember there's forty eight teams, so thirty two go through to the next stage. So you get the top two from the twelve groups, but then you also get the next eight go through as the third rank side. So as long as the OSSes don't get smashed in any games, they should go through.
00:18:25
Speaker 2: Well, when you look at some of the other teams competing, some of the other nations like Haiti is competing cur like, some of these countries are only known for being hit by cyclones and having outbreaks on.
00:18:38
Speaker 14: The problem is we're in a tough group. There are no easy games there, but there's enough there and we're going to be very defensive minded. I don't think they'll probably score more than three goals in their group stages. I'd be lucky to score three the OSSes, I reckon.
00:18:52
Speaker 2: It's just a.
00:18:52
Speaker 14: Matter of just pinching enough points. Last night though footy training not good Isaac Comming. This soft tissue concern continues to happen for the Crows. Unfortunately Isaac Cumming. So remember he got injured last game. A bit of awareness, looked like he was he found his spot finally, didn't he know? Played down there a bit with GWS playing down back.
00:19:13
Speaker 2: He was terrific playing half back, really good and so soft to issue injuries has been ahm issue though, hasn't it. Yes, Yeah, that's it seems like he's go one of those bodies. Yeah it is.
00:19:24
Speaker 4: You're right.
00:19:25
Speaker 2: It's a good point. So he won't play that.
00:19:28
Speaker 14: I think they will get back Taylor Walker, but Isaac Rankin I don't think will play. So they're in this kind of awkward stage the Crows at the moment, aren't they. I think they need to be a bit like the Bulldogs who have done a really good job. I think in the last few weeks of just getting through and just managing to find ways to grind out wins. Adelaide needs to do that and this next four weeks is going to define their season. Geelong Bulldogs Melbourne Port if they can win three of them season set up two and two, they're sort of treading water. Anything less than that and they're in real trouble. So huge month coming up.
00:19:59
Speaker 1: Read knockdown Bill two with Metro Homes, Sell one and move on, keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes, they do it all for you.
00:20:11
Speaker 3: Deepd Ben Berby and Will Goodings five Double A Breakfast.
00:20:16
Speaker 4: Seven will be checking in with the weather Bureau very shortly. But we've got a bit of a glimpse about what's happening out there. From Doug from Blakeview. He's sent through a picture. It looks like it's through the front window of his car where he, as he describes at Yorktown Road at Elizabeth Park is underwater as a result of very heavy rain in the last fifteen minutes. It genuinely looks like actually looks worse than a burst water main. But the road is it looks like you're driving through a creek bed there Yorktown Road at Elizabeth Park. Anything else like that out in the roads, folks do tell us eight double two three double O DOUBLEO. We're checking with the ses a little bit later.
00:20:51
Speaker 2: Are we actually going to get a real storm today? Olden describe what's happened so far a nice storm, and describe it as just a somewhat windy winter's day.
00:21:00
Speaker 4: Last the Bureau a little bit later, the title surge the high tide is meant to come in a little bit later today. Last night, the forecast was for this afternoon. We'll find out with the Weather Bureau very very shortly. Star stating things.
00:21:12
Speaker 2: Is personally spent much of last night comforting my gut. At eleven year old Sami made the sapsars of tryouts for soccer, and they've canceled it today. And I suppose, you know, on the side of caution, I guess, but I do wonder whether this could be one of those events that ends up actually being canned on account of two things, sort of the modern degree of preoccupation about children being exposed to any form of danger, be it real or perceived, and also the somewhat overblown nature of weather forecasting these days.
00:21:52
Speaker 4: Well, we will find out with the Weather Bureau very shortly, Nick has a double number twenty eight of significance for us. I like this one from Nick. He says, the tray that brought Alex Neil Bullen to the Crows in twenty twenty four was executed by Adelaide giving up pick twenty eight, and Alex Neil Buller now wears number twenty eight. The reason number twenty eight is of significance to us this morning is because Australia now has twenty eight million inhabitants. Mark McCrindle is a demographer with mccrindall Research. He joins us on five double a breakfast now, Mark, good morning to you. We've had lots of people have stabs at the significance of twenty eight beyond some sort of vague references to its historical relevance, but the twenty eight million people. Some people have looked at the speed at which we got there, given how slow population used to grow. Others have talked about the role immigrations played declining birth rates. What stands out to you is most significant about this milestone today.
00:22:45
Speaker 15: Well, it's pretty amazing to have added an extra million in new record time. The only time we beat this in speed was the previous one going from twenty six to twenty seven million, so record time. And yet we've got a record aging population, We've got record low birth rates and yet record population increase. You didn't normally get an aging population with low births hitting records in growth. So that's in historical terms, very very unusual.
00:23:14
Speaker 2: Now.
00:23:14
Speaker 15: Of course that's because gration boom, and particularly since the pandemic, and also just the just when we're congregated. I mean, for a population to grow like this and yet for us all to be hugging, particularly the capital cities in the way we do, is pretty remarkable. So yeah, it means that we're increasing out capital city in record size and time as well.
00:23:40
Speaker 2: You can sort of feel it, can't You Mark in Australia, I'm not sure where you're based. You're based in Sydney in Melbourne, didn't he yes, didn't like how recent does the Sydney Olympics feel like? I was living there for twelve years, got there just before the Olympics, and Sydney felt cruisy in the year two thousand and it felt like things worked like it's gone. It's gone from this sort of nice like a big city, but a much more liveable city. It feels so much more crowded now on record of time.
00:24:11
Speaker 15: Yes, that's the case. It's built up, it's become more densified. The sprawl has continued to some extent. There's been a lot more infrastructure that's gone into that. But you know, as much infrastructure gone into to Australia, to Sydney particularly, let's say in the last quarter of a century, the population increase has been rather than that. So yeah, I guess that sense that the cruising is now the sort of intensity is probably what defines not just Sydney but all of our capitals as we struggle to respond to this significant growth.
00:24:47
Speaker 4: So mark, in the year two thousand, the prediction was we get somewhere between twenty four and twenty eight million Australians by the year twenty fifty. We've obviously blown well past that. What do the updated if we keept going at the right we're currently going, where do you imagine we've been by twenty fifty.
00:25:04
Speaker 15: We will double again in the next fifty years, That's what we've done. We were nineteen seventy six, we were at fourteen million, so we've doubled in the span of most Gen x's and certainly the baby boomers can remember when the popularation as that starts, and that's expected a game now. Again, not too many countries in the developed world are doubling their population every half century, but that's because relative to places like the US and the UK, we've got a smaller population, a fast growing one, and so we've got to think about the next five decades how we're going to double the infrastructure out the challenge. We're not doubling the population centers. We're living in the existing one. I mean, in the last one hundreds we've really only added two new population centers, one bing Camera because it was specifically built as the national capital, or the other being the Gold Coast, which no population a century ago and now it's our sixth largest. So other than those unique factors, we haven't been growing new centers, and so we've been packing duckling quadrup in the existing censers. And that's not sustainable into the longer term because our cities to have constraints graphically or the sprawl will make it not feasible. So can we plan new cities, How can we grow the smaller popular centers, How can we ensure infrastructure keeps up.
00:26:23
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, it's a really good point when you think about I mean, certainly in South Australia's a lot of regional centers where people would probably like more people. You know, they talk about losing people and what impact that's out on local business and all that sort of stuff. It's fascinating field that you work in. Mark, really interesting chat. Yeah, Mark mccrindall, the demographer for mccrindall Research.
00:26:45
Speaker 4: Sounds like Mount Barker is doing the country's work at the moment, the new urban center that's just growing at the rate everything else. Remarkable. Fifty years Australia's population is doubled. Fifty years is sort of the midpoint between our ages, isn't it. Yeah, I think basically, Yeah, fifty years is not a long time.
00:27:02
Speaker 2: No, no, it's not.
00:27:05
Speaker 4: The population has officially doubled in fifty years.
00:27:09
Speaker 2: Well. Mount Barker is a great example. Like as a kid, we used to go up there to my uncle's farm and it was a day in the country. It was. He had a farm called Nakoba, my uncle John, who ended up starting Fitzner Furniture, and we used to go up there and it was like being in a Pan's Heisen painting. Now you got Warworth's on your left. You've got fourteen houses on what used to be a paddock like it's just unrecked.
00:27:39
Speaker 4: Marsa makes a great point over the course of that fifty years, how many I mean Mount Barker is an exception. How many big new urban centers are there in Australia. We've been packing twice as many people into the same six cities.
00:27:51
Speaker 2: Just spreading on the fringes.
00:27:52
Speaker 4: Yeah, Elaine has a number twenty eight for us, given we now have twenty eight million Australians.
00:27:57
Speaker 2: Morning, Elaine, good mor what's your other twenty eight? Alane?

Speaker 4: It's brilliant seventy congratulations to you, Elaine, with an awesome milestone.
00:29:23
Speaker 2: That's remarkable.
00:29:24
Speaker 12: Yes, Will were steel proud with major.
00:29:27
Speaker 2: So it's brilliant.
00:29:29
Speaker 4: I suspect. I wonder how I can't imagine too many seventy seventieth wedding anniversaries take place. No, I wonder how many they've been in Australia. Won if we get even find that out? Call back Mark McCrindle, Yeah, exactly. Is he still on the line. What wonderful mastery, Elaine. We loved hearing that. Thank you.
00:29:46
Speaker 2: Nice to hear. I think we've got a winner. That's personal number twenty eight. It's the twenty eight parrot that beats John Winn two eight, Johnny Wynn. He shouldn't be eligible. What happened in the nineteen seventy eight Grand find. A few people have texted your reminder about that. Let's go the weather man and Jack Atie.
00:30:02
Speaker 4: Let's talk about what's happening in Adelaide today because that report from dug in Blakeview maybe is a sign of things to come. Michael Lefron, good morning to you. Where are we at in terms of this storm, the wind, the high tides and so forth.
00:30:17
Speaker 17: Good morning. Yeah, it's been pretty wild weather overnight into this morning around the metro area. We've seen falls of around five to ten millimeters, but in the hills around fifteen to thirty and we are seeing further showers through the rest of today. Those winds still quite gusty. However, they should ease a little bit as we head into the afternoon, but for the hills still a severe weather warning. Current will review that later this morning. Still also the warning for abnormally high tide, so that is for this afternoon. The high tide may result in seawater flooding of low lying coast areas, so be aware of that for this afternoon. In terms of our temperatures up to seventeen degrees today is so still quite wintery. Looking ahead into Wednesday, we're going to see the showers continue. It does turn a little bit colder top of only fifteen degrees expected. Thursday, we'll see a few showers around and they'll continue into the evening for the big clash between the crows and the cats up to fifteen degrees. Friday is shower to sixteen, and then it does start to settle down a little bit for the weekend. Saturday shower to seventeen, but Sunday partly cloudy up to eighteen degrees.
00:31:41
Speaker 2: Great stuff, Michael, Thank you, Michael Elefron from the Weather Bureau.
00:31:44
Speaker 4: Two fifteen's ahead. Yeah, that's winter. I know a lot of the kiosks and cafes along the coast have been watching this well you high tide situation closely because the spectro of how many years ago was it that we had Remember the little that beautifu little Chaoskit Glennelle glen Elk South, He got totally smashed. A few of those businesses still have a bit of PTSD from that. Let's sad to say, Polson, you can still Scott James Jorye's Scott. A man's been arrested for being on property in Paraka.
00:32:19
Speaker 6: Yeah so this one happened just for one thirty this morning. Police record to a home on South Terrace after a resident they're reported hearing a doorbell knocking at the front door and then their side fence. Going the patrol's attendant and they were cooked to the scene there and searched three yard and they located a man in the cardboard area. He was arrested. He was a forty six year old man from Port Adelaide and arrested in charge with being unlawfully on premises. Was refused police bail and he'll attend the Adelaide Magistrates Court today.
00:32:48
Speaker 2: Scott. Also, a bloke's been arrested after crashing his car in North Adelaide.
00:32:52
Speaker 6: Yeah so, about eleven fifty five pm last night police an emergency cruise recorded to King William Roads that of Ford sedan had crashed into a nearby brick wall. Thankfully there were no reports of any injuries to the driver and I believe he was a solocuman to the twenty five year old man from two Wells and we've reported him for driving in a mat of dangerous dangerous and the car was impounded for twenty eight days and he'll attend to court at a later day.
00:33:19
Speaker 2: Well you're doing some circle work or something.
00:33:22
Speaker 6: Well, look if you were driving in a matter dangerous. Yeah, especially with the road conditions and the weather last night and to this morning. We're also just asking members of the public just to drive to the conditions, drive safely and slow down, feeler and pay attention at all times, just being mindful. Obviously the roads are wet.
00:33:41
Speaker 2: Y's work on his technique a bit. If he's chucket air and break he's in this weather, what a stronger allegedly thank you for that gotch.
00:33:49
Speaker 1: Out knockdown Bill two with Metro Homes, sell one and move on, keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes, they do it all for you.
00:34:02
Speaker 3: David pen Berthe and Will Goodings five double a Breakfast.
00:34:06
Speaker 4: Five to seven. I think Peter might be a port fan on the text nineties five back over our significance of the number twenty eight question this morning, twenty eight years since the cross last flack. Thank you Peter, feels like only yesterday.
00:34:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've still got the grainy VHS tape of that. Let's talk about that.
00:34:24
Speaker 4: We should talk about an issue though, that has been spurred by the dramatic rise in the population that has dominated the conversation of the of course of the first hour, and it's led to pretty abrupt policy shifts at the federal level and some changes to states wise. We're talking, of course, about the housing crisis in Australia at the moment. The state government, for their part, have announced changes that would allow downsizes to move so more easily. In the last week they've detailed a policy for people fleeing things like domestic violence to be able to get into accommodation without being laden with the tax burden of a decision like that is the some of all this wrying up housing. Let's speak to the expert at Adlaid University, Peter Kalisos. So we love talking to about these sorts of issues. Peter, Thanks for your time and good morning to you.
00:35:08
Speaker 8: Good morning to you gentlemen.
00:35:10
Speaker 2: So, Peter, how do you reckon? We're tracking? Clearly the Premier tried to make it a huge feature of the election campaign. Housing any very, I think he was reasonably quick off the market in recognizing the one nation surge being fueled by anxiety over housing availability and housing affordability. But how do you reckon he's going in rule terms?
00:35:31
Speaker 8: Well, I think I mean other than I'm very parochial South Australia, and I think South Australia is probably doing the best out of all the states because with that assistance for downsizes, that was the last piece of the missing puzzle, because what was happening is at the bottom end, they were pushing a lot of people into the housing market, but not a lot of people were freeing up their larger houses. But with this incentive for downsizes to move out and not paying extamp duty on their new property, that has certainly helped free existing supply. I think the main issue is, and I don't want to get too technical, but the supply of new housing is almost fixed, Like it doesn't matter how many new houses you want, this is how many we can produce because we've only got so many trades people and this is the way we build it. So if we're going to have more housing to help relieve pressures on what we've got at the moment, we really have to have a quantum leap in how we make housing, how we produce more housing, And that's not going to happen overnight. But certainly some of these initiatives or all of these initiatives are great, but we obviously need more.
00:36:47
Speaker 4: Do you think that some of the federal government's budget changes will lead to an increase in supply? And I guess I'm thinking primarily about capital gains tax changes to move investors out of the market, but at the same time, allowing the negati gearing of new builds. Is the total of all that more supply?
00:37:04
Speaker 2: Do you think, Well, that.
00:37:06
Speaker 8: Certainly encourages more supply, but it's the same issue. It doesn't matter how many more houses you want unless we change something the way we build, the materials we use in building, even the planning approval process. We might increase it by an extra five percent, maybe if everyone works really hard, maybe an extra ten percent, But there's not much that we can do if we continue to build the way that we are building homes today.
00:37:38
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I think she thinks you did that pattern book, didn't they where they tried to come up with a whole bunch of different designs. Why don't we do something like that.
00:37:46
Speaker 8: Well, we're looking to introduce that, and I think a couple of weeks ago they introduced that they're going to be addressing what they call the missing metals. Instead of just doing apartments and instead of just doing detached houses, they're looking at the old fashioned manor housees. Some of your listeners may remember that, Like it looks like one house from the outside, but there's a number of different dwellings on the inside. And the other one was the old sixties and seventies.
00:38:11
Speaker 7: Walk up flats.
00:38:13
Speaker 8: Yeah, they did the job back in the sixties and seventies, So you know, why can't we do that again? You know, not everyone can afford to live in a detached house on a six hundred square meter block, and certainly not first time buys. Well, why don't you starting a little two bedroom flat?
00:38:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely great stuff. Paid always love having you on Peter College, and we love that you're parahial because we are too good on you. Kalis property Expert and Property Lead to an Adelaide.
00:38:36
Speaker 4: Uni coming up after seven o'clock this morning, we're going to be chatting with a South Australian who got swallowed by quicksand at Gleneld that's coming up.
00:38:50
Speaker 1: Knockdown bill too with metro homes. Sell one and move on, keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes. They do it all for you.
00:38:58
Speaker 3: Jup and been, Burbie and Will Goodings five double a breakfast.
00:39:03
Speaker 4: Seven after seven. Good morning too if you're joining us for the first time on this Tuesday morning. It is dark outside, it is cool, the high tide is on the way, the wind is on the way, and it looks like in certain parts of Adelaide the rain is very much here. We've got a couple of pictures from listeners of roads that look like they've been in undated with water. It sort of looks more burst water mating than it does storm, but it is as a result of a storm.
00:39:27
Speaker 2: Doesn't quite feel like Hurricane Katrina.
00:39:29
Speaker 4: No, no, that's right. It's just a lot of water in some areas that obviously are a little bit I get it backed up.
00:39:34
Speaker 2: In defense of the Weather Bureau, I think part of the thing is that when the forecasts come out and they say the range is seven to twenty five mil if it ends up being seven or six or five, the problem is that all of the media coverage is always framed around what twenty five looks on.
00:39:51
Speaker 4: Sure do the other thing is and I'll give us a whack here and give the bureau a lot of cover. We talk about it exclusively in terms of how it affects the suburbs of Adelaide. They're talking about it because they'll say, well, it did hit gale force and it did this rain total was reached in Wyala. Now we go no storm here. They got it wrong again, but we will wait and see because it's the bulk of it is still to come through today. Coming up very shortly, we are going to be talking with Sam Mack, who is the Channel seven sunrise weather presender, who's going down the slide. No need for a weather forecast for the temperature at the g A next Monday, it's going to be cold, but nowhere it will be colder than don't going down the slide for the big freeze. What an emotional event that's going to be too. That's going to be quite a remarkable day. I think the whole country is going to be watching the MCG on Monday, and then a little bit later in the morning Phil Curry and looking forward to chatting with the South Australian who was caught in them in a in quicksand not in some exotic location in the Amazon or something or other.
00:40:58
Speaker 2: Out in the middle of Owha in Brazil.
00:41:00
Speaker 4: No, it was at Glenelg at Gleanilg. That's coming up. Story we want to get into right now. Is something that has really intrigued me because there has been sporadic coverage of this cancer breakthrough with regards.
00:41:11
Speaker 2: Of pink cradit cancer.
00:41:12
Speaker 4: Now, I think you don't need to be an expert to know that paint gradic cancer is among the worst cancers you can possibly get. The survivability of this is not great, that the sort of prognosis you get historically is not great. And so this week this this little story came out saying a daily pill has been created that will double a patient's survival time. Double this survival time. It's a significant step forward for something in which there hasn't been a big step forward for ages. Now. The disconnect with how this has been reported and how medical people have been speaking about it as blown my mind. All the doctors, medicos and health journos that I follow are saying this should be front page US. This is unbelievable. This is the kind of great leap forward in fighting cancer that you'd think everyone should be talking about. Well, let's talk to someone about it. Michelle Stewart from Pankind Pancretic Cancer Support Group joins us. Michelle, could you give us a bit of a sense how significant is this development?
00:42:15
Speaker 10: Hi?
00:42:16
Speaker 16: This is a huge step forward. So last on Sunday night at the ASCO conference, which is the American Society of clinicl Oncology, because the Olympics of Cancer, there was a readout of a final trial that meant that showed that pancreatic cancer could be doubled, survival could be doubled with this new pill. So it is a huge breakthrough with the highest levels of evidence. As you mentioned, there hasn't been a breakthrough in pancredic cancer for decades, so this is a really great news story.
00:42:48
Speaker 2: I don't understand like I'm reigning on the parade at all, but it's still and I suppose, as Will said in the intro, pancreatic cancer two of the most chilling words in the English language, because everyone knowsability rates are appallingly low, but it's still only like a I mean, it's a doubling, which is great, but we're still talking about surviving a median overall survival of thirteen months compared to six months.
00:43:13
Speaker 11: Yep.
00:43:14
Speaker 16: So the trial results for this trial was for people who have had chemotherapy and chemotherapy have stopped working, so they're very, very sick. Right, So as a result, you know, like any advances in survival is huge in that group of people. The thing that this does is it really opens the door to future treatment. And if we can get people taking these treatments, what we need to trial it taking these treatments when they're well, we think that survival might be even more impressive, right, Okay, and then what happens next is we've got next generation drugs that come through that all ways to treating combination. So it's really kind of the start. It's a big step forward, and it's really hard to celebrate in medical research, you know, these steps forward, because there's always something more. But I think if we see it for it is, which is an incredible result.
00:44:02
Speaker 19: And as the next.
00:44:03
Speaker 2: Chapter, yeah, yeah, well, as you say, if you can get if you can get ahead of it when it's not people who will be on stage four and all hope has lost chemo wise, then that that is that's where the real hope is going to come. It's a great story, Michelle, and we thank you for sharing it. Michelle Stewart, CEO of pan Kind.
00:44:21
Speaker 4: There's some remarkable stuff happening in medicine at the moment, new developments and so forth for treating everything from cancer to obesity, and that remarkable stories that you know, the biggest, the biggest impediment to the ongoing development of this new stuff. What we have in the pipeline is a quantum leap ahead of what we have now and when it comes to so many treatments. But the impediment, the blocking point is human trials and you sort of I get why there's a lot of red tape around who you can. You can't just go and experiment on people. There needs to be rules around it. But that's the part of the cycle now that it's causing everything to be slower than it otherwise. Could what is it the regulation or it's not enough people doing it. It's it's not enough people doing it because of the regulation. Yeah, right, that's the point that there's all this wonderful theoretical medicine. So we've tested it in animals. We've tested it and underlap lab conditions. Pills at unied for money, Yeah, what's not that on common human trols happened all the time.
00:45:21
Speaker 2: When we're at Flinders. We took arrhythm of pills for a week. We had to go into Flinder's medical center on a Sunday. They did all our bloods and checked us out and we all had to get tested for AIDS and all this other stuff. This would have been about nine to eighty nine. I need it to pay for a holiday. I got paid one thousand dollars. So we went in. They juiced us up with these drugs and then we had to stay in overnight, and then we weren't allowed to drink any alcohol for a week, which was pretty onerous at that time of life, being you know, Cali rat bag unique students. Then we had to go in every day. It was at the basketball stadium there. All these have exams.
00:46:03
Speaker 4: Yeah.
00:46:03
Speaker 2: I went to go to the basketball stadium and take more pills, get tested and yeah, I mean, apart from the fact that I occasionally pass out, it hasn't affected me at all.
00:46:15
Speaker 4: Do you still see the almighty occasional? Yeah, but you look like you're at Rudel. The arrhythme has never been better.
00:46:26
Speaker 1: Knockdown Bill two with Metro Homes, Sell one and move on keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes they do it all for you.
00:46:35
Speaker 3: Deep in ben Berby and Will Goodings five double a breakfast.
00:46:39
Speaker 4: Eight and a half to seven. Very shortly we're checking with John O. Edwards is out in the road for seven this morning covering the storm. But first let's talk about an event that is now just ten days away. Our big best of SA Gala dinner is almost upon us at Adelaide Oval. It's going to be a wonderful evening and over the course of the build up we've given you a chance to win tickets prizes and you get here about some terrific South Australian businesses profile by our very own Caate colins, like the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
00:47:10
Speaker 20: Today we are celebrating the Royal Flying Doctor Service and I'm here today with Doctor Marty at their Say Airport base. Now, Doctor Marty, I have to confess I am a beneficiary of the Royal Flying Doctor Service. As a child, I was airlifted out from an accident in the country. So I know how important the work is that you do, but can you tell us who are you helping? Across regional South Australia.
00:47:32
Speaker 21: We're here to support remote Australians no matter where they live, work or travel. So whether you live in a remote community, whether you're holidaying in a remote community or visiting family or friends, we're here for that. And without our supporters, we simply couldn't do what we do and keep our crews in the air.
00:47:51
Speaker 20: And it is such a vital service for those who live remotely when something goes wrong, just to have that reassurance that somebody is there to help. One of our slogans that has been around since our inception is a mantle of safety and we take that so seriously. It's about ensuring that wherever you are, you feel safety, whether that's having primary care and vaccinations available for your children or emergency.
00:48:14
Speaker 21: Care if something does go wrong.
00:48:16
Speaker 20: And you are a service that needs support from the public to continue.
00:48:20
Speaker 21: Absolutely we rely so much on our donors, both for the encouragement that they give our teams. The stories like you've told really propel us and keep us going, but the money that our supporters and philanthropic partners donate is absolutely vital to ensure that what can be an expensive service isn't stripped away. And we are so proud of our almost one hundred year legacy and we really need that to continue.
00:48:46
Speaker 20: Well, Doctor Marty, thank you for everything that you do here at the role playing Doctor Service and the service that you provide to South Australians.
00:48:53
Speaker 21: It is truly a pleasure, Thank you and.
00:48:55
Speaker 4: A be congratulations. So Natasha in Golden Grove, Natasha, you are the winner of the best of Say tickets. You've got two of those, will see you there on the big night. Support the Royal Flying Doctor Service to deliver life saving care across rural and remote South Australia every day. What a remarkable, a uniquely Australian story. The Flying Doctor Service is a great bit of of Australian history.
00:49:17
Speaker 2: We've been doing the show too long, mate. I was just thinking the exact same thing, Like you explain that most people in most other countries that the equivalent of an ambulance in Australia can for a lot of people be a cessna that turns up, Like the country is so big that you need to have these you know, private like you know independently operated planes flying around the country. Incredibly. It is.
00:49:41
Speaker 4: It is the history of It's great. There's the museum in the Northern Territory. I think it's in Darwin, isn't it. You go, I've been to it before, where you can see the history at their Aviation Museum. They've got the Royal Flying Doctor Service Museum there as well. It takes you look the foot you can go on board the version of the first I missed the plane they had and so forth. I think I'm pretty sure it's in Darwin. Parrot Markets eat luxA, that's entirely possible. Let's sit out in the road. Might be good weather for a luxA at the moment. In Adelaide, John Edwards is in the northern suburbs where it was dug from Blakeview earlier. Wasn't it the centers through That picture of one of the streets there that looked entirely flooded Yorktown Road. Not sure if that's near where you are, JOHNO. But what's the weather like out there?
00:50:21
Speaker 22: Yeah, it's certainly wet and miserable, Yorktown Road suffering a significant amount of flooding. Also, the Portway cald Highway absolutely covered in water, so we've sent a number of warnings for police to take it easy overnight. Really not a huge amount of damage in the metro. Are the Adelaide Hills copping the brunt of it. A lot of people waking up at the moment finding trees down, et cetera. So emergency cruise kept busy. There was one significant blackout around the Salisbury area with a number of people without power that's been restored. Currently around about one hundred and seventeen people without power, a few in the western suburbs and a few in the country. Is huge concerns on the power front. But we are expecting a number of fronts to come through in the next hour or so, particularly in the northern suburbs. School are two wells, you know, those deep northern suburbs. At the moment, a number of jetties also closed due to the title search that we're expected to see, so a lot of council is making that precaution. But at the moment there my cameraman Batman feel like we're in the set of Twitter searching for some storm damage. And yeah, the fronts continuing to come through and we might see some severe winds of about forty five kilometers an hour moving through and a thunderstorm late this morning. But it's going to be wet, windy and woolley throughout the day.
00:51:38
Speaker 4: Does that make you the boy wonder Robin?
00:51:40
Speaker 3: Then?
00:51:40
Speaker 22: John? I, well, I prefer not to that. There's a former Robin. I'm not Robin will Batman. Batman's right next to me.
00:51:50
Speaker 2: Do you reckon? We can get you on the end of one of the jetties with a driser boning tonight. So they're shouting in an agitated way into the camera. That'd be good.
00:51:58
Speaker 22: Anything for you can go. Actually, we'll head that way now. Actually, I'll go and walk through some flood water. I'll get Batman to throw water over my faith.
00:52:07
Speaker 2: Yeah me, yes, this report whatever is that he comes up with, you'll set tonight on seven, John of Edwards for seven years and five double.
00:52:18
Speaker 4: He will do it, John, don't worry about that, certainly. Twenty five to seven. Couple of text baps zero four eight, zero eight thirty ninety five talking.
00:52:24
Speaker 2: About number twenty eight. What number twenty eight means to you? Inspired by our population at seven six am rather hitting twenty eight million the very second Matt pan tell Us went to air to do the six am news Bullton the clock had just ticked over. Since then we will have increased because Matt also told us that every seventy five seconds Australia gets a new person, be it via births or immigration. Paul says his favorite dish at gin chaw On good the street number twenty eight Red Vinegar ribs how good is that? Robin at Marno Parawest has been at thirty two mils since midnight. It's still coming down, but the wind is not very strong and a lot of people talking about population are all bringing it back to a housing the lack of housing. And in response to our chat just before seven o'clock were Paul Clinchius from Adelaide UNI. A lot of people are saying, why are we talking about designing smaller houses when the problem is we've got to keep creating houses because there's simply too many people here. Thank you for all of those techs.
00:53:34
Speaker 4: So doing some terrible back of the Napkin maths, the ABS tells us that the average occupancy in a house in Australia is two point four people. If we're adding a person every seventy five seconds. Does that mean we need to be building a house every three minutes?
00:53:48
Speaker 2: Probably?
00:53:50
Speaker 4: Either that do we just need to be a lot more hospitable. I'm no construction expert, but that doesn't seem feasible. How do we build that many homes now? We might need some more migrants to come into work, to work as trading. It's a vicious circle, isn't it?
00:54:06
Speaker 2: It is a vicious circle? All right.
00:54:09
Speaker 4: It's coming up to twenty six minutes after seven after seven point thirty this morning, we're a trial by jury coming up. I think this is going to be a particularly interesting one, and timely given the light that's available at the moment. And then a little bit late in the morning, Phil Curry will be on the program. He has we've shifted field after eight thirty today, so if you want to hear Phil with the latest camera, you'd have to tune in after eight thirty.
00:54:32
Speaker 2: Fil is going to be coming up a little bit later. We've just got some reports.
00:54:35
Speaker 4: Coming through as I speak, of a crash on the Southern Expressway downtrack. We don't have any more detail than that yet. So if it's somewhere that you are traveling at the moment. We would love to hear from your eight double two to three double O double oh is the number on the downtrack of the Southern Expressway. All right, let's we've been talking about the cold weather all day. Let's talk about something even cooler, the Big Freeze A Sam mack Seven's Sunrise Weather presenter will this year on Monday at the g be going down the Big Slide into the icy water. Sam, good morning to you, Good morning David Will.
00:55:11
Speaker 23: Thank you guys for having me on. Hearing you guys say it aloud is making me feel it's feeling very real now.
00:55:17
Speaker 2: So Sam, you'll be on debut. You never done it before, No, no.
00:55:22
Speaker 23: First time. They say you never forget your first slide. So honestly, it's such an honor. I mean, obviously, like all of us, we've been following and supporting Fight MND and the incredible work of Neil Danaher and I think more than ever, you know, it was quite a surreal feeling for all of us when we were preparing and then to get that tragic news that Neil had passed. It sort of stopped us all in our tracks and it was a little bit of a couple of days of okay, what does this mean? Does this change things?
00:55:53
Speaker 2: What does it mean?
00:55:53
Speaker 23: And then the Fight MND people are incredible. I mean you think about Neil's daughter Beck and his wife Jan and they are driving force and this wonderful team around them at Fight MND, who raised over one hundred million dollars over those years, and essentially they came at a place which was Nil's I guess purpose, which was to play on. And I just think that's a great, great way to look at it, and that's what he did with his battle with MND over thirteen years, play on. So they want to make it bigger and better than ever. We want to raise more funds than ever. We're seeing those beanies pop up everywhere. It's truly an honor to be involved. Really exciting.
00:56:27
Speaker 4: Leading into Monday, I think the eyeballs everyone in Australia is going to be watching.
00:56:30
Speaker 2: It's sam.
00:56:31
Speaker 4: It's going to be a very emotional and spectacular event, one that will raise even more awareness. I mean everything everything Neil does seems to have raised more awareness and money for this cause to fight the beast as he always called it. In terms of your personal plans for the slide. Have you worked out what your outfit's going to be yet?
00:56:50
Speaker 23: I wish I was, like, you know, creating mystery and giving you a little clues. I actually don't know. I should have had it worked out by now, but I don't know. I've got a one and a three year old and they kept me so busy at home over the last week or so. My plan is I'm on the Gold Coast at the moment, traveling with Sunrise, and I'm on the road for the next few days. I get back to Melbourne on Friday, so I'll be straight to the costume shops. I'll be brainstorming and we're going to sort it out over the weekend. But I mean we I've.
00:57:16
Speaker 7: Got what have I got?
00:57:17
Speaker 23: Six days?
00:57:19
Speaker 4: We got any ideas?
00:57:20
Speaker 23: Do you have any ideas well?
00:57:21
Speaker 4: We can put out to our listeners, Sam, and they'll come up with something that was genuinely embarrassing for you. Don't worry about that.
00:57:27
Speaker 2: Isn't doing it too And for the first time, Fitsy's doing it here in Adelaide. Oh, he's in the Adelaide.
00:57:32
Speaker 4: He's doing here in Adelaide. So Sam, as a man of science and numbers and weather, do you want to know how cool the water is or did you prefer not to know?
00:57:42
Speaker 23: I've intentionally avoided finding that info out till this moment. But if there's anyone I trust with my weather reports, it's five double A. Let's do it, guys. What can we expect? What's the forecast for Monday in the.
00:57:53
Speaker 24: Big Freeze Pool?
00:57:55
Speaker 2: Well?
00:57:55
Speaker 4: I was wondering if you wouldn't. I don't know what the severidge is going to be in the pool. I reckon it's going to be pretty cool out of the pools. Maybe maybe that will be to some benefit. It won't be much of a discernible difference you want that between what it will be out and in.
00:58:07
Speaker 2: I just caught up the weather forecast for Monday in Melbourne and it's barmey, that's not too bad.
00:58:16
Speaker 23: Did you say did you say colder out than in? I think that's a description of my private parts of Hey.
00:58:22
Speaker 4: No, we've just got a verdict for you. Apparently it's it's the waters between minus two and minus six.
00:58:28
Speaker 23: Oh my goodness, wouses, that'll wake you up. No, No, I seriously didn't know that minus two to minus six.
00:58:36
Speaker 8: Oh my god.
00:58:37
Speaker 23: Well we better bloody raise the money.
00:58:41
Speaker 2: Think about the cause. Think about the cause. It's great for you to do it. Sam, It's a wonderful cause and terrific to have people like you behind it. Mates, all the best, good luck with finding the costume and good luck with them escaping the freezing conditions on Monday.
00:58:57
Speaker 23: Well it's a team f F and thank you to you guys. Into five Double are always huge supporters of Fight MND and of course the Dana Her family and we're all really proud to do what we can. And a beautiful sendoff for Neil next week with the state funeral on Wednesday as well. But really appreciate you having.
00:59:12
Speaker 2: Me on guys.
00:59:13
Speaker 23: Thanks you supporter. Reminder everyone listening please get your beanies, Bunnings and cools get out there and support Fight MMD.
00:59:19
Speaker 2: Good on you, Sam. Thanks mate, Sam mac there summarize weather presenter and be pretty slighter.
00:59:26
Speaker 23: If there's anyone I trust with my weather reports, it's five Double.
00:59:28
Speaker 1: A knockdown build too with Metro Homes. Sell one and move on, keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes. They do it all for you.
00:59:38
Speaker 3: Deevid pen Burbe and Will Goodings five Double A Breakfast nine eight.
00:59:42
Speaker 4: To eight dry by Jury before eight o'clock, Phil Courry after eight rousing in a Chicken with the Sees and SA Power Networks. Are some power outages around the place yesterday, but we'll have a look at how things are playing out this morning and what their expectations are vulnerable areas win wise and tide wise over the course of the days. We look at it right now, there's a precious few outages. So there's some forty homes it looks like homes in Nova Gardens without power, and there's fifteen and suspery heights. So it's small comfort if you're in one of those areas where there is no power. But in terms of what can potentially be the case when we're getting wins like this, it's only having sixty fifty five metropolitan outages is a pretty good result to this point. But we'll check in with SA Power Neworks a little bit later. Let's talk about a story that we don't cover all too often here in Adelaide on five Double A people being caught in quicksand.
01:00:36
Speaker 2: I find this totally amazing.
01:00:38
Speaker 4: It's happen and it's not some remote location in South Australia. It's down at Glenelg, not one, but two instances, so much so the local council have put up signs saying beware of the quicksand Mad's June got caught in quicksand at Glenelg and joins us. Now Mad's you got caught for quite some time. But just take us through from the beginning. What you're out for a walk and then what happened?
01:01:02
Speaker 11: Yeah, good morning. I was just out for a walk with my friend, wanting to take some nice sunset photos. But it went south pretty quickly. I stepped down off of the rocks and my legs fell straight through the sand and.
01:01:18
Speaker 2: You went You were in deep too from the get go. Weren't your men's were up to your waist?
01:01:22
Speaker 11: Yes, so originally it went just above my knee, but then as I tried to distribute my weight by sitting down, eventually my weight started to sink into it.
01:01:34
Speaker 2: Must have been terrifying. And did you were you? Were? You worried? Like so you started moving and you've feel like you were wiggling even further into it.
01:01:41
Speaker 11: Yeah, pretty much. At first it was pretty funny until I realized how stuck I was and I couldn't get myself out. That's when the panic started to set in, and turned to Google originally to see what to do, but nothing proved to work, so emergency services was called.
01:01:59
Speaker 4: What does what does Google tell you? How to get out of Quicksand what was the technique?
01:02:04
Speaker 11: Not to panic? Well, that was already happening, and then to move your foot in circles. But the sun was so tightly compactor that I couldn't move my ankle at all. It felt like my leg was in a vacuum seal bag.
01:02:17
Speaker 2: Were you wearing shoes at the time?
01:02:18
Speaker 4: Two meds I was.
01:02:20
Speaker 2: I was, yeah, so they're all clogging up filled up with sand. That must have made it even worse.
01:02:25
Speaker 11: Oh, it was horrible.
01:02:27
Speaker 4: Did you get did you have the sensation that as you were the longer you were there and you waited for almost an hour until you got freed? Were you progressively getting deeper and deeop? Were you actually sinking or did you stay to sort of? Was there a point at which it leveled off?
01:02:41
Speaker 11: I was sinking, but very slowly, so it was very different compared to what I've seen in the movies when you sink very fast. It was very gradual, so very thankful for that being the case.
01:02:54
Speaker 2: Oh my god. So, so I'm trying to work out what you do with your phone? So you had both arms up in the air trying to google extraction techniques from set from quicksand.
01:03:05
Speaker 11: Yeah, well both myself and my friends were, yeah, trying to google. But I chucked her my car keys because I didn't want them to get wet. And then yeah, I just had to try and you know, keep the other leg up as well. I didn't want that one to think too. And it was a mass.
01:03:22
Speaker 4: How'd they get you out?
01:03:22
Speaker 25: Man?
01:03:23
Speaker 4: This is just great. People grabbed an arm each and pulled you out or did it require them too?
01:03:26
Speaker 11: Yeah, pretty much, pretty much. We had some of the fieries moving the sand hill to stop the stream from filling up as the tide was coming in around me. While then yeah, my leg was digged out and then I was physically pulled out.
01:03:41
Speaker 4: Oh man, what an ordeal, What a crazy experience. We're glad that you're okay. The most, perhaps the most remarkable think about this is you're not the only one. Sarah Darbyshire got caught in quicksland at Glenelg too. Sarah, good morning to you.
01:03:56
Speaker 19: Good morning.
01:03:58
Speaker 2: So, Sarah, a lightning does strike to so Med's winning first.
01:04:02
Speaker 4: Then a week later you went.
01:04:03
Speaker 19: In, do you know what I'm going to call that? I bet it happened to more people, but they're just too embarrassed to come forward. I bet you, because I honestly said, at the end of this, I looked at my dog and said, no one must ever know about this.
01:04:18
Speaker 4: I love your quote to that effect, Sirah in the paper when you said you said, I just thought, I'm not going to die like this. This is so embarrassing.
01:04:28
Speaker 19: I don't know if I can swear, but you can imagine. It was the top square word was like no, not this way, no. And then it took everything in me to just you know. And all I can say is thank goodness for mad Thank goodness. So I'm not the only one.
01:04:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, well maybe you're the only two that have gone public. As you say, so, how long were you stuck for, Sirah?
01:04:50
Speaker 19: It was only a few seconds. It was a few seconds of hell, and I honestly didn't know that it was being recorded. I just recorded the walk because a few days before there was the big sandhills at me and my daughter were happily running over again. Yes, very dangerous, but yellow we live life on the edge. And and then you know, I couldn't believe how flattered they were, not thinking about the dangers obviously, but yeah, I.
01:05:14
Speaker 7: What was the question.
01:05:16
Speaker 2: I was just saying, how long were you start?
01:05:18
Speaker 19: It was only a few seconds. There was a few seconds of pure hell horrify.
01:05:24
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, we're just looking on the live stream now of the video.
01:05:29
Speaker 2: Has made you sort of think twice about going back to the beach, or certainly that part of the beach.
01:05:35
Speaker 19: No, I absolutely love the beach. There's no way I will never not go to the beach. But yeah, I will be careful where I walk on the beach.
01:05:44
Speaker 2: It's just crazy.
01:05:46
Speaker 4: It is interesting. Sarah, thank you, We'll glady you got out okay as well. And I could feel up to laughing about the whole experience both. So both incidents happened right near the rocks, so where the the when the tide comes in, there's almost no beach, and walking the little sliver of land between the tide that's up and the rocks there seems to be what creates the issue for people if you're if you're not on the live stream. It's always worth tuning in because you see insight like Sirah's video, which gives you a perfect sense of what transpired. All thanks this week to the wonderful Walk a Mile organization, our live streams step up to end homelessness. Walk a Mile in my boots, register or donate today walkermile dot org dot Are you have that? Deborah and glenelg North our listener, Deborah, this is the quick sand happened to me too. We should get Deborah on, Deborah, give us a give us a buzz, Deborah.
01:06:39
Speaker 2: We'll put you on. We'll put you on air. Oh have we lost?
01:06:41
Speaker 4: There might be people lost to us.
01:06:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, there might be someone there now who could call in.
01:06:47
Speaker 4: The Glennelle who you people are disappearing?
01:06:51
Speaker 2: I just so the sign that I'm not having a crack at the council. So the council is perhaps signing that says soft sand. Why doesn't it just say quicksand soft sand sounds like you know, when you're driving the car down an all dinger and it says don't park there. The sand's a bit soft soft sand sound.
01:07:05
Speaker 4: So it's not that.
01:07:06
Speaker 2: Dramatic, is it. Sand focuses the mind. I know, why doesn't it say quicksand maybe there was some sort of world's technically not quicksand. Yeah, that'd be some scientist. But for the purpose of public safety, yeah, it doesn't hurt to e amplify the danger. Phil on the text line says quicksand is actually just liquefaction. When the sand becomes oversaturated with water, just turns into this total slurry.
01:07:31
Speaker 4: That's probably what Mad's determined when she googled it. Well, she was slowly sinking, never to be heard from again. Oh it's liquefaction.
01:07:40
Speaker 2: You don't associated with Australia, though, do you not? At all? Well, things it was like those sinkholes. Occasionally, you know, you see some car that was just suddenly vanished into someone's driveway. You know that happens in Australia, but normally you think, oh, you know, which part of Columbia is this happening in.
01:07:55
Speaker 4: It's not Columbia, Glenilg. What if any of our listeners ever been trapped before in quicksand or anywhere else, ever felt ever been trapped horrible feeling that would just be awful, if especially for by yourself. Suddenly you think there's no way for me to get out of this. It'd be genuinely terrifying.
01:08:12
Speaker 2: Yeah.
01:08:12
Speaker 1: Absolutely, knockdown Bill two with metro Homes, Sell one and move on, keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes. They do it all for you.
01:08:24
Speaker 3: Deep it pen Berthy and Will Goodings five double a breakfast.
01:08:32
Speaker 4: Hey Dwight. Well, we said to Deborah, you've texted us about sinking in the quicksand call in and Deborah's done precisely that. Glen Old North z own. Deborah, what's happening down there at the bay.
01:08:43
Speaker 12: It's soggy and damp.
01:08:44
Speaker 4: No tell us about your quicksand incident.
01:08:49
Speaker 10: Yes.
01:08:49
Speaker 12: Well, I was walking along Glenoge North speed and the tide was just donting to come in. And they had done the sand cutting where you had these huge piles of sand, so I couldn't day on the western side because the water was lapping up. So I thought, well, I'll just walk along behind them. And the sand was quite hard, so I'm just walking along, but the water had been pulling in there and suddenly I just stepped down and went straight in. I thought shit, I was there for I don't know thirty seconds or a minute long enough to think, Oh my god, what am I going to do?
01:09:21
Speaker 26: And then to get out?
01:09:23
Speaker 12: I could only keep walking in the quicksand, and I thought, so each step I went in, I sunk down to about my knee level, and then I just kept dragging my leg up, and you know, I took probably twenty steps or whatever to get out of it. And then your heart's going.
01:09:42
Speaker 2: You do good sound effects, Brah, I think you were both good. One was good too. That was it? So did you try to push with your hands at first?
01:09:51
Speaker 10: No?
01:09:51
Speaker 12: No, I had to go down that low.
01:09:53
Speaker 2: Well you would have just pushed down even further.
01:09:55
Speaker 12: I guess, yes, yes, that's right. And then I was thinking like the other people, like shit, I've seen movies and the like, what am I supposed to do in quicksands? But yeah, but it was very disconcerting.
01:10:06
Speaker 2: So you're on your own at the time.
01:10:08
Speaker 12: Yes, yes, so just gone for.
01:10:09
Speaker 2: A morning walk, no dogs or anything, No.
01:10:12
Speaker 12: No, no, Luckily my phone in my pocket, so wow.
01:10:15
Speaker 2: And did you call out to any strangers?
01:10:17
Speaker 12: I couldn't see anyone around because it was early morning walking, right, scary.
01:10:22
Speaker 4: Glad you deal with us, Deborah, because you're able to give us that evocative description of everything that transpired and your mental state that was magnificent, Deborah. It would have been a real tragedy to lose Deborah in a quicksand incident because we always like our calls and texts and so forth.
01:10:36
Speaker 2: So our listeners getting sucked into quicks head.
01:10:38
Speaker 4: No, we definitely, We've always said that.
01:10:39
Speaker 2: Especially if we've got ratings, books and stuff.
01:10:41
Speaker 4: Exactly right, if you look towards the hills at the moment, it looks foggy. Now we're getting some text from the eastern suburbs that suggest that is not fog, that's rain. It is bucketing down on the eastern suburbs at the moment. So if you.
01:10:58
Speaker 2: Can give us a eyewitness account, village will be barely perceptible. What are you going to do if you need to go to Maximhra.
01:11:03
Speaker 4: To buy a frog eight double two to three double? Is it pouring where you are? Give us a call or send us a text. Maybe it's a stormy weather time.
01:11:13
Speaker 13: In the criminal justice system, i'll defendant, so innocent until proven guilty, either by confession, plea bargain, or trial by jury. This is one of those trials.
01:11:26
Speaker 4: I'm not sure whether the weather and the darkness at the moment helps this argument or not, But for the trial by jury, we want to put the length of daylight saving to the jury test. This morning, Matt Pantellus has been running a interesting little tidbin in news throughout the morning that a national MP in New South Wales is calling for that state to reduce the length of daylight saving by two months. So he wants it to end nowbry Well or is it the other end? I'm my head.
01:11:56
Speaker 2: I checked in it early going into winter. He'd wanted to well, I don't know, you could be a month at each other's then there, that's right.
01:12:03
Speaker 4: I'm not sure, but either way it's got us thinking do we need to change the length of daylight saving? Should it be kept the same or changed? Eight double two to three double o double someone to win one hundred dollars worth of Semtas seafood simply by being on the jury. I reckon there'd be a big city country divide on this well and a big coast which part east or west?
01:12:24
Speaker 2: Yeah?
01:12:24
Speaker 4: Well yeah, if you're if you're so Juna, yeah yeah, A very different view to someone in Renmark. Possibly eight double two to three double O double o should we shift daylight saving? Bonus points to anyone who's got a theory on how or where it should be changed, But it's on the agenda in New South Wales fifteen years ago. Say New South Wales Victoria accept coins. Then they have their own weird thing. Will followed Tazzy's lead with six months of daylight saving, so currently running from the first Sunday in October until the first Sunday in April.
01:13:00
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what people in Perth. Life is so confusing. The last couple of months. I've written a few stories and we've done a few reports on The Brecky Show too about the push to get Katherine bean Or Peg into space. A few days ago interviewed Australia's first Anglican female archbishop, Kay Goldsworthy, the Archbishop of Perth. She was lovely and she had some really interesting and intelligent points to make about religion and science and how she regards science as a gift from God, and how she has heard this great address that Catherine Beno Peg made. But the point is working out what time you were going to talk to somebody in Perth when daylight saving was on here it does yet yeah, good luck. What time is it?
01:13:43
Speaker 4: Just before we get to the jury, Ryan's just texted says it's absolutely torrential on the freeway downtrack. He says, you can't see more than fifty one hundred feet a head, just waiting for Noah to overtake me in the ark. Let's get to the jurors. Should we change our shift? Daylights saving during number one?
01:14:03
Speaker 25: Look if we change it, will my curtains stop baiting?
01:14:08
Speaker 4: No?
01:14:08
Speaker 25: I think leave it. I can understand what cas you might want to change it, you know, in their position and everything being so passed out. But no, look, leave it as it is. I loved it, like saving, look forward to it and can get so much done after work when we've got it. So no, leave it as it is.
01:14:22
Speaker 2: No, I thank you your number one during number two? What say you during number two?
01:14:29
Speaker 4: No, no you number two? Let's go to during number three?
01:14:33
Speaker 15: Yes, I would say, change it, but only by a month, ended at the start of March.
01:14:39
Speaker 4: Ended at the start of March. Thank you during number three? What do you say during number two?
01:14:43
Speaker 18: I think it should be for the length of summer only just for summer.
01:14:49
Speaker 4: Months, Okay, I think that's an argument for shifting it as well. Have we got during number four?
01:14:53
Speaker 2: There?
01:14:54
Speaker 12: Yes, good morning, and I think change it should be a month shorter either end.
01:15:02
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you?
01:15:03
Speaker 4: Juring numerfore during number five, what's your verdict?
01:15:05
Speaker 18: Maybe we should line it up with the equinoxes in September and March and permanently change our time to Eastern.
01:15:13
Speaker 4: Time, simplify things. That's a good jury for another day. I think, yeah, should we go to east.
01:15:20
Speaker 2: Whether we're trying to do that? Did he there was a discussion around it. I reckon he did when he was premium and all we changed during.
01:15:29
Speaker 4: Number six let's find out.
01:15:30
Speaker 2: Sorry hello during number six yep one, it was.
01:15:34
Speaker 18: Intended for December, January and February only.
01:15:38
Speaker 4: That's remarkable. It is a quite a completely clean sweep of people wanting to shift daylight saving all some excellent theories as well about how it might be best applied and to everyone's benefit. But the new South Wales National MP Jeff Provost has some support, at least in South Australia for making some changes to daylight sav.
01:16:04
Speaker 1: Knockdown Bill two with metro homes sell one and move on, keep the other as an investment Metro homes. They do it all for you.
01:16:13
Speaker 3: Deep and pen Berthy and Will Goodings five double a breakfast.
01:16:19
Speaker 4: Night after eight break It ain't coming up in a moment's well and truly raining out there. Michael just sent us a text Hut Street in South Terrace intersection flooded. This is the section where council recently upbraided the intersection. Unfortunately they can't get it right again. That's just having a look at that picture from Michael. Yeah, it looks it looks particularly slippery.
01:16:38
Speaker 2: There.
01:16:38
Speaker 4: One of a number of places around Adelade where there's experiencing a bit of localized flooding. Certainly the Northern Suburbs early seems like the Eastern Suburbs is copying it at the moment. But let us know where you are. Is it blowing a gale, is it pouring down zero four eight zero eight thirty ninety five, We'll try and get a sense of precisely where it's happening. If you're coming down off the freeway as well. It is really low visibility at the moment. The listeners of warning us about that, so just drive carefully. It's pretty dangerous conditions on the freeway this morning.
01:17:07
Speaker 2: One of the one of our listeners texted in asking for us to provide favorite quotes from Blazing Saddles off the back of the quicksand chat. That's a dangerous thing to do on LAVE Live Radio. Will but as requested, I'll give you this one. What's a dazzling urban I like you doing in a rustic setting like this?
01:17:26
Speaker 4: You picked you might have just picked the one that is broadcastable.
01:17:30
Speaker 2: And the film I watched it again a couple of weeks ago, just came on and.
01:17:35
Speaker 4: I gotta watch it. What was seventy five percent of it? Is full of jokes you couldn't make anymore.
01:17:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the thing is that the black Sheriff is the smartest guy in the film. Yeah.
01:17:42
Speaker 4: But and Gene Wilder, as he sidekicked the canceling of comedy, doesn't know nuance where he disguises himself as a member of the ku Klux Klan like it's just superb. But yes, if you were pitching it these days, you'd get kicked out of the studio. Even though it's the sort of human told to keep your perverse thoughts to yourself. It's the sort of humor that relies on the fact that people understand that these are unacceptable stereotypes. Like if Ricky Gervais does that great explanation about telling off color jokes about religion or race, where he sort of says that doing in person I think he's defending doing impersonations, and he said if people didn't understand that that was insensitive and wrong, they wouldn't laugh. They just sit there and go, well, it's quite an accurate impersonation. Like the humor relies on the community understanding what is and isn't allowed.
01:18:35
Speaker 2: The most absurd character in Faulty Towers, by the length of the strait, is basil Faulty, and so much of it stems from the fact that he's unreconstructed English bigots. Yes, his treatment of Mark Well, his response when he's being treated by a black doctor, all his class prejudices is sort of petty bourgeois. And it's funny because if I know it is trying to be sophisticated, Yeah, elegant.
01:19:01
Speaker 4: He's the joke.
01:19:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's the joke in every episode, which is why he never wins. Yeah. Yeah, you could easily say, oh, that needs to be canceled, you know, don't mention the war but it treats people like with their idiots, like grown adults have the comprehension capacity of a three year old. Correct, but that's the age we now inhabit. Anyway, we should do some breaking at eight.
01:19:19
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's do some breaking at eight.
01:19:25
Speaker 2: Talking about comedy was probably a good rejoinder to the somewhat bleak content of today's Breaking at eight, because it makes pretty depressing reading. So overnight, the South Australian Business Chamber has released its quarterly William Buck Survey of business expectations, and it shows that confidence in both the South Australian and national economies now stands at its lowest level since the pandemic, and at the same time, business profitability in South Australia has fallen to a twenty year low. To walk us through these grim finding as we're joined by the CEO of the Essay Business Chamber, Andrew Kay. Andrew, good morning mate, thanks for coming on. This is a pretty depressing read, but it sort of it gels with all the little micro stories were seen about a closure here, a layoff there. It is a pretty tight set of circumstances right now, isn't it.
01:20:18
Speaker 24: Yeah, good morning, day. Look look it does, and it turns to align with some of the surveys that have been poking up into state in the last couple of months, which the big financial institutions do, and they've been pointing to this. But at a time when just to put this into context, this survey was undertaken before the federal budget, so at a time the businesses are doing it tough. I just had another hit last week. But this reflects what we've been saying for the last couple of years. Business has been hit by increases in their cost through wages, through energy, through rent, and it's been hurting their profitability. Now you overlay that with a couple of interest rate hikes, which often consumer demand, and then the fuel crisis, which has just put the price of pretty much everything up, and it's a one two punt.
01:21:09
Speaker 2: Do you think we're sort of a risk of turning into a private public divide in terms of job security, in terms of sustability of income, in terms of growth. I mean, I was reading a piece yesterday. The public sector has grown like twenty six percent or something in the last four years, Like it's just crazy growth, whereas everyone in the private sector seems to be taking the opposite approach, which is, how can we not so much grow rather just remain like keep to use a quicksand analogy, you know, keep our heads above the parapet.
01:21:44
Speaker 24: Yeah, we've talked a little bit about this two speed economy in South Australia that started to develop over the last couple of years when we've had significant government projects. And if your business is part of that government supply chain, you're being paid life scored. There's plenty of work around, but if you're not, it's quite a different world.
01:22:01
Speaker 27: And that's what we hear.
01:22:03
Speaker 24: That's what we hear from businesses and if you think about that's trying to stay aslope. Just while the fuel crisises have been going on, we spoke to businesses around have they been passing on those additional costs have been hitting their businesses. Only forty percent of businesses are passing them on. And even though these are passing on something like up to twenty to thirty percent of their costs, so they're trying to absorb the costs because they don't believe that others in their supply chain can wear those costs either or that consumers can bear them. Given the fact that we're seeing this cost of living crisis underpinning what is also a cost of doing business crisis.
01:22:39
Speaker 4: We're going to state budget on Thursday, Andrew that you might be aware of, the treasure is probably listening any last minute wishes, low hanging fruit that would help out South Australian businesses.
01:22:48
Speaker 24: Will have to ask WEE. We'd say that no nasty surprises would be good because business obviously looks to books the certainty and these are pretty uncertain times. But if profitabilities that are twenty year low is the budget has to focus on reducing the cost of doing business. And you know I talk about payroll tax quite a bit and the fact is we haven't seen the payroll tax threshold move since twenty nineteen in South Australia. Right so this morning it's there's going to be another annual wage review announcement that will push wages up and we're not begrudging workers that relief. But in the last three years we've seen wages go up three point seven percent, three point nine percent, three point four percent last year, but the threshold for payroll tax doesn't move. So what we're seeing is businesses who haven't employed one extra person now being pushed into three bracket creep, pushed into paying payroll tax for the first time. So that's an immediate leave of the government has that can reduce costs on business straight away.
01:23:46
Speaker 2: Pitty Peter mallonous because can't tap into his former incarnation as the head of the SDA prior to entering Parliament, where he famously said in a speech payroll tax is the dumbest tax ever invented to tax on jobs and it shouldn't exist.
01:24:00
Speaker 24: It might have reminded him about that once or twice day.
01:24:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, and were worth doing, no Doubt'll chat on Friday after the budget. Andrew, thanks for coming on this morning. Andrew Kay, the CEO of the SA Business Chamber. We continue to get local reports through from rain that's falling in parts of Adelaide, localized flooding and intersections and at very other places as well, and then you get the old text like this from someone at Sumaden. Parker says, I think he looks cloudy towards the hills down here. It is absolutely magnificent. Barbara and Ur Drossen says, there's sunny skies over there, just four mills so far. Se seems like at the coast.
01:24:37
Speaker 4: It's the coast, it's not too problem, it's not too bad, but in the eastern suburbs it is really wet at the moment. Let's chick in with the SEES State Duty Officer Ian benythen, Ian, you're getting many call outs.
01:24:54
Speaker 9: This morning, so it's wrapped up since people who have started to wake up, just over fifty overnight, so you know, it's pretty reasonable amount for our volunteers.
01:25:05
Speaker 2: That's fifty callouts and what sort of jobs have they been doing.
01:25:10
Speaker 10: The majority of these have been wind related, so either trees or branches that have come down, loose roofing materials, verandahs that have started to lift, fencing, those type of things. We have started to see a little bit of an increase in water coming in through ceilings and that's again that can be attributed to some wind damage to the roofs.
01:25:35
Speaker 4: Which areas are you getting most of the call outs from men?
01:25:39
Speaker 10: The metropolitan area is the most, so we've had just over forty in the metropolitan area in that same period, and then also the Hills Flurio we've had just under ten.
01:25:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll stay in touch right across all the programs today in because at the higher end of the predictions comes to pass, it could be a busy day for your excellent volunteers. Thank you for that. Ian Beneath and the state duty Officer for the sees.
01:26:13
Speaker 4: So the western suburbs in the calm of right now. But of course the Bureau when we spoke to them earlier, said that super high tide is expected to come in in the middle of the afternoon. So a combination of that and wind is the sort of thing that people that are living along the beach and have businesses along the beach that will be concerned about. One thing we're always concerned about when there's a bit of wind about the place, power outages. And I can tell you it's a pretty clear picture for the city of Adelaide this morning. There are just two pockets of outages in the metro Eliot forty in Nova Gardens and fifteen in Salisbury Heights. Otherwise, across the state there's one hundred and forty nine premises without power, which is frankly a pretty remarkable effort. Cecilia shoots from SA Power Networks joins us Cecilia.
01:26:58
Speaker 22: So far, so good, it's so fast, so good.
01:27:01
Speaker 26: Our crews have done an amazing job overnight. So I've just heard that since six pm last night we had a cumulative total of around six thousand customers loose supply. Now, of course a lot of those customers wouldn't have noticed because they would have been in bed sleeping. But we're now down to yeah, as you said, around one hundred and fifty. So look, you know, we're our resourcing remains ramped up throughout today. You know, we are expecting the impact of winds throughout the day, particularly in the Metro and parts of the mid North.
01:27:32
Speaker 23: But I expect that.
01:27:33
Speaker 26: You know, if forecasts remain as they are, that our crews will be able to work through those outages pretty efficiently as they did esterday as well.
01:27:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, fingers crossed it. It stays very much at the lower end, as Cecilia Cecilia shoots Sapound Networks Manager External Affairs. I feel like it was in Perth. Was thirty thousand houses were out there?
01:27:53
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, well it's sober stays that way, as Stewart says, forty two millimeters it craigmore Central this morning overflowing guns and the dogs holding a weed because she doesn't want to get her feet wet. So not everyone's having a good time this morning, thank you Stuart. How dog Paddy hates this sort of stuff.
01:28:09
Speaker 2: He got up first thing yesterday morning having a total anxiety attack because of the thunder. He's a very emotional dog, hates the Royal Show. We had to put him on prozac last year. Seriously, Well they do it. Yeah, not a great gantic depressant. It was like it was like he had PTSD. He was a nervous wreck. Yeah, they do hate fireworks and yeah, living next to the Rayal.
01:28:32
Speaker 4: Showgrounds from rare kind of dorture for a dog with anxiety issues. But they're not all that.
01:28:39
Speaker 2: His brother wouldn't care his brother, Yeah amazing. You know an ied you could go a fixed to zorrow and give him a schmack. Will be fine. Now.
01:28:48
Speaker 4: The Brighton and Glenelg jetties are closed as of not quite yet in the next forty minutes. They're going to close from nine am today. The Brighton Glenelg jetties will be closed due to that really high tide and the winds that are expected. So something to do. Factor into your walks over the course of the day. If you're out there trying to brave the elements.
01:29:10
Speaker 1: Knockdown Bill two with Metro Homes, Sell one and move on, keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes. They do it all for you.
01:29:18
Speaker 3: Deep in Penberthy and Will Goodings five Double A Breakfast.
01:29:24
Speaker 4: Twenty five minutes after right, it's World Cup times.
01:29:28
Speaker 2: Five.
01:29:28
Speaker 3: Double A's World Cup of Essay.
01:29:32
Speaker 4: World Cup time well worth jumping on the live stream, Facebook and YouTube, all thanks to the excellent people at Walk a Mile sponsoring the live stream this week. Step up to end homelessness, walk a Mile in my boots, register or donate today Walkermile dot org dot au. Because on the live stream you'll see the World Cup of South Australia bracket, the four categories People, food and Drink, Things and places. The brackets beginning to fill up. We're not too far away from getting to some quarter final action.
01:30:03
Speaker 2: This is like reading a chart at the optometrist, so I can't make out the point the smallest one, but the things that have gone through so far, Travis Edg's mustache and much to Will's chagrin, those indolent pandas well.
01:30:17
Speaker 4: Let's see what it is. We're back in the things component. Of the bracket today this I don't even know how you can argue for this. I'd have would argue, hod.
01:30:35
Speaker 2: You've got problems, do you wt me to go first? To go first, you go there?
01:30:39
Speaker 4: So I got this morning for the South Australian things component of the bracket. Illegal tobacco eight double two three double a double. If you want to vote for illegal tobacco, I think illegal You know all about it?
01:30:53
Speaker 2: Will from your there was it wasn't there a business in your neck of the woods.
01:30:57
Speaker 4: That was there was got shut down recently, the providing sweet treats for the kiddies and illegal tobacco for everyone else. Look, what can we say about illegal tobacco except to say it's one of the great experiments in inefficient taxation. If you tax the people too much and you do not enforce the tax appropriately, you get a black market and a legal tobacco. Illegal tobacco is South Australian's acting irrationally, as according to every single economics textbook that has ever been written in human history. In fact, it's a triumph of the free market illegal tobacco. This is what happens when governments are dumb and people are not a Llegal tobacco therefore is an expression of South Australia, the spirit of freedom and the willingness of South Australians to push back against depression illegal tobacco.
01:31:46
Speaker 2: I'll tell that you've been joined in the studio by Adam Smith. This is superb.
01:31:52
Speaker 4: That's as best as I could do for illegal tobacco.
01:31:54
Speaker 2: Short notice. I think illegal tobacco is going through mainly because it's up against my white linen suit. I don't know how this made effense.
01:32:03
Speaker 4: If I was, I've been stitched up. They never failed gear.
01:32:07
Speaker 2: No, they never failed gear. Yes, well this is the suit I was wearing when I had met my now wife. I wasn't white. It was more of a bone because I should reveal there's been two suits. There was a very richy benoesque white linen Hugo boss jacket that I had many years ago that unfortunately ended up in the poor bin because it got some strawberry dackering on it that wouldn't come out. So somewhere in Angola there's a six foot two chap getting around looking pretty flash apart from having a big dollop of cocktail on his lapel. The second one, I can't remember. I might have got it at Peter Shearer because they have a good in all seriousness, in all seriousness, serious days for a white linen slash bone suit. And as I said, you know it's a it's a garment that requires a degree of kutzpa. But you know the right setting cocktail do maybe an evening session at the cricket or of karaoke night, go the bone, go the linen.
01:33:17
Speaker 4: Hearing you extol the virtues of the white suit, it's like hearing Don Bradman talk about batting. It's just eight double two to three double a double a. Get voting. Now, what makes it through in the things of a bracket David's white suit or illegal tobacco? Eight double two?
01:33:34
Speaker 2: I love every time we talk about illegal tobacco. We get about five hundred texts from people. They all seem to know where the shops are.
01:33:39
Speaker 4: Let us know what makes it through to the next round of the World Cup of Suburbs. We need three votes in either direction. This is the morning the World Cup of Suburbs span off into its own weird orbit. The things part of the bracket is strange. We confess it was always going to be strange. Is it illegal tobacco or David's white suit that makes it through to the next round? Eight double two to three double o double O. Get calling now and cast your vote in the World Cup of South Australia. The white suit or illegal tobacco? What will go on in the next phase of the World Cup of South Australia. Get calling now, eight double two to three double o double There's lots of texts, we're taking calls. It's always calls that will ultimately decide it. And we don't want to inform the calls too much by poisoning the well with all the text information.
01:34:29
Speaker 2: Let's go to Helen. Helen, what are you voting for?
01:34:32
Speaker 17: Legal tobacco?
01:34:36
Speaker 2: Do you think Mark Butler's listening to the segment? He in his area?
01:34:40
Speaker 4: Thank you, Baron Old Dinger? What are you voting for?
01:34:43
Speaker 22: Allegal?
01:34:46
Speaker 4: What have we done? If we've done so, it's two votes illegal tobacco And now the calls are coming in thick and fast. Eight double two to three double O double O. Will there be a rearguard action for David's white suit? I stuff A legal tobacco surely can't win the World Chop South of Shaded Brooklyn Park.
01:35:06
Speaker 2: Good morning.
01:35:06
Speaker 4: Oh, hang on, oh, I can't get Shane. I've got a computer issue. Have we got Shane? I need I need it assistance. Here comes Paddy Patty. We can't can't get Shane on. This could be the siding vote in the World Cup.
01:35:19

01:36:03
Speaker 3: David Penbervie and Will Goodings five double a breakfast.
01:36:06
Speaker 2: A few listeners have texted wondering if the World Cup of Suburbs this morning was in fact an inappropriate leading to the Police Commissioner Grant Stephens, it is not. I'm delighted to tell you as South Australia overwhelmingly voted for a legal tobacco to progress in the world, cup op South Australia and progressing through the things bracket to your points though well your excellent economic analysis of why this was never going to work. Though it does say something about Australia. Given a choice between doing the right thing by Treasury or backing Iranian controlled organized crime, about one million Australians have opted for option B.
01:36:42
Speaker 4: Hey, we never know what's going to be in the envelope, but I commit to arguing hard on behalf of whatever it is.
01:36:48
Speaker 2: I take back nothing.
01:36:50
Speaker 4: Now there's been there's a bus that's broken down blocking the left hand lane of King William opposite the Festival Theater. Thank you for that person of texting that there's a few issues out there. Perhaps whether we'll so things to be mindful of as you progress throughout the city. This morning, let's head to Canberra. Our political correspondent and the political leader of the Australian Financial Review, Phil Curry.
01:37:12
Speaker 2: Joins us.
01:37:16
Speaker 4: He wants to talk about politics.
01:37:19
Speaker 2: The Blue Baggers film.
01:37:22
Speaker 4: About all of a sudden, never begged. You were always on.
01:37:26
Speaker 27: Board, stuck through thick and thin.
01:37:31
Speaker 2: You have you have stuck with them.
01:37:33
Speaker 27: Well yeah, in a way, Yeah we can we do a blanket. I've got no idea what's going on, No one has. It's a it's a no idea. I guess they played they you know, they played like that for half a game, so it's just a matter of get to play like that for a full game, and so it shows what could happen. So I guess when the coach moved on something, some little button got pushed and there you go.
01:37:57
Speaker 2: I can't I can't name the interim coach Phil, just so I reckon. It's as simple as listen, guys, you know, any of as bad as everyone says you are, this has been bloody embarrassing. Let's just get out there and have a crack. And that must be they're playing in this sort of liberated way.
01:38:13
Speaker 27: Yeah, and they put some four or five young blocks and are really good. So the age balance is much better now, you know, the experience and everyone's sort of benefiting from it. But it really isn't a big improvement from how they were playing. Under boss as I said that they would come out and play half a game like that then go to sleep. So he's managed to get them doing that for a whole game and there you go. You play four quarters in your win. So yeah, but we'll see, we'll see. We'll probably lose Thison in this week. So the monroow of the cart and supporter is hope.
01:38:42
Speaker 2: Killed before, always prepared for the worst. Phil. We had Cory Bnardi on the show yesterday and night of that remarkable pole is one of the most interesting polls I can remember seeing in Australian politics. In the Thin Review yesterday, One Nation now the most popular political party in Australia. What are the what are the sort of you know, brains trusts on either side saying about how they how they deal with this. Labor seems to be saying privately that they hope that it's a sort of point in time and that by getting on a cost of living focus they can they can win these people back.
01:39:22
Speaker 27: Yeah, it's it's two sort of things going on, Dave. So we sort of saw as One Nation really started to take off about just under a year ago. It came at the expense of the coalition now they were just pulling those off the Liberal Party in the Nationals and sort of reduced them to, you know, a third party status. And now what we're seeing is they're starting to take voats from labor, and the labor people say they are two different sets of voters. So the ones who are jumping ship from the Nationals are sort of more ideologically aligned, you know, the sort of people that never vote labor. You know, they're sort of anti net zero and angry about migration and things like this. But the ones who are now leaving Labors sort of is trying to convince itself that they're just leaving because they're fed up with four years of economic hardship and they voted labor at their last election and things have got worse. But I think the sort of problem with that theory is that the really big shift came on the back of that budget last month, which was meant to help these people, and they didn't think it helps them at all. And I was talking to Pauline Hanson not just after the budget, and she was sort of positing that the breach of trust in that budget would outweigh whatever, you know, whatever the government was trying to do. In the way helping people. You know, people already fed up with a two party system, or you know, they don't think the major parties are up for the job, and they just can't see such an egregious breaking of promises. And I think maybe they've just gone off to Paul Lane. But neither side has a sort of easy answer for it. It's really we've never seen this before. We're all sort of in uncharted warders. We're seeing the sort of two party system disintegrate in real time. But it's you know, people go, why don't you go harder on one nation? You ask them about their policies and this sort of stuff. And the problem is that people going to Hanson don't really care about that, not yet anyway. They just want to, as you know, our posters has burned the place down, and send a message. And because Hanson is so clearly spoken on things, you know, you've got major parties telling you that things you're seeing with your own eyes don't exist, like you know, we're not we don't have population is not growing too fast, or you know, these things really aren't problems that you think of problems, and they're clearly problems, right, And so she sort of just tells it as it is and that's that's really, that's really what's driving it at the moment, and they're all a bit powerless.
01:41:40
Speaker 2: Do you underheard the jingle? Feel that we had none high rotation? One Nation were among many political parties who advertised on five double A and the lead up to the March twenty one state election. In the end, they've got the girts to see what you're thinking, it was like total e were the One Nation.
01:41:58
Speaker 27: Yeah, yeah, and that's it. And so when you've got people are really cranky at you've had four or five years be high inflation now, right, and it's people just beaten down by it, and I think, you know, there's a lot of grievance here, and Hanson is sort of articulating that grievance. The interesting thing was in the South Australian state election and it got sort of underreported nationally, but the huge swings that One Nation took in those northern suburbs Elizabeth and stuff, and they sort of they definitely noticed it over here in the Labor headquarters. And that was in an election where you had a really really popular labor premier, right, So so you know Malanowska is still one with fifty eight percent of the two party vote, but that really masked what happened in those seats. So be looking at a seat like Spence, which is in the northern suburbs. You know, you know one nation probably get thirty thirty five percent, and that now if election was held now, So Labor's very aware of it. They're worried about it. And you know, Anthony alb An easy as nowhere near as popular as Peter Malanowsk is quite the opposite. Pole showed he dropped ten points in his approval rating in just one month on the back of that budget. He's really down there now in the unpopularity stake. So yeah, if the election was held now would just be chaos. But everyone's got two years to try and work out a way back. And this explains to a large extent where Tony Habits reappeared as the Liberal Party president. It's to sort of help, you know, take that back the Liberal vote back from one nation.

I'll tell you what, if you're a young South Australian, I reckon there would be no better job than that which is being advertised by our next guest, Will Rainer, is the of the Royal Agricultural and Horticultural Society. Will you are on the lookout for showbag testers?
01:45:07
Speaker 2: Good morning to you morning.
01:45:09
Speaker 18: Will, We certainly are. It's a very important job. We're looking for someone to a group of people to come and help us test all the showbags so that we can go to the show on the fifth of September full of conference. They will be great again.
01:45:22
Speaker 2: So what does the testing involve? Will? Is it? Presumably? Is it for safety? Or is it How does it work?
01:45:29
Speaker 18: No, We on the twentieth of August here will get all the showbags that we've got in the show. We'll put them in a room and then we literally open the doors to a group of young kids. We've been doing it for quite quite a while now, so we're asking for applications from either school classes or sporting teams or community groups, and we also get camp quality coming. Every year, we get about seventy kids come in and they literally get a chance to test all the showbags, they get to take a couple of home, take a family past the show home with them as well, and we just make sure they're all tip top.
01:45:58
Speaker 4: They've got a right to write into you know, there's a little task they need to perform to be part of effectively the application.
01:46:05
Speaker 18: Yeah, that's right. So it's actually one hundred years since we had our first showbags show this year, so we're asking for people, in fifty words or less or to upload an image or a short video onto the website and they have to tell us if they were if they could send the showbag back in time to a kid from one hundred years ago, what would they put inside it? And what do you think would blow their minds? So they've got to think about what would be like one hundred years ago, Go onto a website, enter the competition, and we look forward to working them here on the.
01:46:34
Speaker 9: Twenty of August.
01:46:35
Speaker 2: Imagine a kid in nineteen twenty six, when plastic hadn't really taken off, getting a fidget showbag. Those fidget showbags. They are really good and they're used to help kids concentrate. But I must have been I like playing with those spinning wheels and the popping panels. You get all these little dimples and you can push them in, push them out again, and you can count them in your mind like it's very soothing.
01:47:00
Speaker 18: Yeah, there's there's magic ones, and there's lowly ones obviously, and there's the boodie beetles that everyone loves, so there's something for everyone.
01:47:07
Speaker 4: Or the magic one could would travel well over time. Because the whoopie cushion has never not been funny. I think no cushion is just excellent. Yeah that's right. Every whoopie cushion we got came from a show bag, I think. Yeah, I've never ever been seen when come from anywhere else. To be honest with you, Yeah, yeah, that fake vomit. I think they're only just in show bags. Fake vomit and fake dog pup. Yeah was good for a while. Yeah, that's one of them on the dining table and upset Grandma. All the ingredients for a classy nineties right there. There's the old woo becusion, gotcha.
01:47:40
Speaker 2: I think I think it's more about our age, I think than more sophisticated things these days.
01:47:45
Speaker 4: Hey, well, I think you'll have no trouble filling those applications. Always great to see the kids tear into the show bags too when it comes time comes in August as well, mate, So great to chat with you. You will run at the for Royal Agriculture and Cultural Society.
01:47:58
Speaker 2: Can we just reflect possibly the dumbest question I've ever asked in almost eleven years working with your other children brought in to test them for safety. Yeah, so what they as long as a kid doesn't die, don't swallow.
01:48:14
Speaker 4: That, Timmy, could you said that small plastic thing? Swallow it because we need to see what will happen.
01:48:22
Speaker 2: No, that does appear to be toxic. Hey Tina, can you pull the battery out of that? Yeah you can.
01:48:27
Speaker 4: Can you pop it in your mouth? Yeah, we're gonna have to cancel that showbag.
01:48:31
Speaker 2: It's another kid downs being canceled.
01:48:36
Speaker 4: You can showbag blood's actually got accident? Bloody a morbid spectacle. That would be the kids testing showbags for survivability. All right, if your watch.

The diesel at the BP Parafield Gardens is cheap two. That one's at two dollars two point nine. David's off to go test showbags. Wolves just checked in.
01:49:14
