Speaker 5: Lee Night after six, Good morning, tell you Welcome to Monday on five Double A Breakfast. It is the twenty fourth of August. Coming up on the program this morning, we're talking World Busking Championships coming to Gorla. I'm looking forward to this chat before seven o'clock today. Then after seven Matt Cowdery is going to join us for the build up to the Paralympics in twenty thirty two here in Brisbane will talk real estate with Bronte Manuel from twop and two. The headline on the front page of the paper this morning is a devastating one. It is one that was to this point an entirely theoretical one, but there's now very much our reality. Third flu has spread to a mammal, has it spread to more mammals. We're going to find out after eight thirty about what the risks are involved in that. Quite most dramatically the ten thousand strong sea lion population of South Australia and Kangaro Island. For them, the invasive Species counselor saying this is an extinction level event. If it gets into that colony, it might be the end of that colony. So the stakes are high. We will be investigating and interrogating that story after eight thirty. This morning, lots discussed they would love you to be part of the program. Eight numble two three double double. How was your weekend? Stays, Good morning to you.
00:01:34
Speaker 6: Good morning, it was great. Lots of family time, very relaxed, which was good. We went to Marion yesterday to do some shopping, but will it made me feel old?
00:01:46
Speaker 5: Oh what happened.
00:01:49
Speaker 7: Kids these days?
00:01:50
Speaker 8: Oh?
00:01:51
Speaker 5: Okay.
00:01:53
Speaker 6: I got there and I thought, why does no one want to help me. We went into a few different stores, my husband Ben one of his in the market for some new shoes. For like every store we went into, none of the people working wanted to actually assist.
00:02:08
Speaker 7: One store. We just did a little social experiment.
00:02:10
Speaker 6: When we went into the first store, and both thought, Okay, we'll just wait for someone to help us. And we were waiting, I think it was for about ten minutes.
00:02:17
Speaker 7: We were the only ones in the shop.
00:02:18
Speaker 5: This is shoes, shoes, and it's impossible to get your own shoes at a shoe store. There literally out the back. If I could, I would, Yeah, you can't just grab them and walk up to the counter. Yep.
00:02:29
Speaker 9: But no.
00:02:30
Speaker 5: And even when was it particularly busy at Marion, trying to give the kids some cover.
00:02:35
Speaker 6: I wouldn't say so much. Under park pretty easy. In this instance, we were the only ones in the store. There were two people just behind the counter chit chatting away. They saw us, we weren't sort of hidden around a corner. And then eventually when we did get some help, it wasn't all that helpful anyway.
00:02:52
Speaker 7: Yeah, it just it made me feel old because I had.
00:02:55
Speaker 5: The thought of, yeah, it's such a generational thing.
00:02:58
Speaker 6: Is it a generational thing?
00:02:59
Speaker 10: Though?
00:02:59
Speaker 6: Because I thought when I was in my late teens in school working in retail, I was probably hungover and didn't want to help people either.
00:03:09
Speaker 5: I've thought about this similarly to you when you walk something, just because certainly I'm not a browser if I go shopping, it is to buy something, and I'll go there and buy that thing, and if I need help to buy it, I have my tolerance for you know, waiting time is not high, So I reckon there are three possible explanations. One is there is just way fewer staff. Yeah, but now I'm the shoe store example. Doesn't it's not like a department store, so there Maybe that one doesn't necessarily hold up. Two, I wonder if we're seeing evidence of a generation of people that have entirely minimized human to human contact, having to do things that involve human to human contact and finding it really onerous, finding it really hard, the idea of you're right doing any help being Pooh, that's not how we do things out of my realm.
00:04:01
Speaker 10: Yeah.
00:04:02
Speaker 5: Three is that people have always sucked in these jobs, but we used to be these people.
00:04:09
Speaker 7: Yeah, And I think three is probably the most likely option.
00:04:13
Speaker 5: I'm not sure I've interested our listeners thoughts of this eight double two three double o double Have you got a theory? Or is it as bad? Has it got any better? What's your experience? Can you buy shoes zero before zero eight thirty ninety five? Can you tell us.
00:04:26
Speaker 6: I used to work in a perfume store and it was one of those ones where all the perfumes were locked behind the cabinet, so customers had no choice, but you know, for us to get it out. And I'm a social person and love it chat anyway, so that was most of the time no.
00:04:41
Speaker 7: Problem for me.
00:04:42
Speaker 6: But you know, when you'd had a big Saturday night and you were working the Sunday and you just knew you were getting the double time, it wasn't the easiest thing to stand there and have conversation after conversation with someone.
00:04:55
Speaker 4: Yeah.
00:04:55
Speaker 5: Absolutely, let us know your thoughts, folks. What have you observed? Have you got a working theories to what's going on out there? We'd love to hear it. Eight double two to three double o double or zero four eight zero eight thirteen ninety five. I've decided the power rankings of the pieces of equipment in my house I like to use the most is now the cheap Bunning's hedge trimmer is the number one thing I own by an absolute mile. How often I don't not very often, And I realized I want to do it more often yesterday because it always, I tell you, it always works. It does exactly what it's got one button. It does exactly what it says on the box. There's no artistry now that you can be an artist, but will get the job done. It's probably made. It's worth nothing. I love this thing. Now I'm not into this stuff, but my goodness, I was thinking, this is an absolute joy, nice bit of sun out there, beautiful day. It was a beautiful day yesterday. So I realized in ranking the bits of tech, because everything else needs to be fixed, everything else requires maintenance, or especially everything digital. I like digitals, I love computers, I love you, but it always requires an update and upgrade and memory store memory exactly right. Everything else requires some form of it doesn't just go on and work. And the simplicity of that really made my sunday. Let's take some calls from people on diagnosing help in retail. Franken bergenhead, good morning, Good.
00:06:28
Speaker 11: Morning, Stacy and Will. Will and Stacey, do you remember years ago, and I mean years ago, when you walked into a department store, it doesn't matter where it was, whether it was Cole's or worse, and people would come up to you and say, excuse me, sir, can I help you? They would actually come up to you. You know, if you're looking for some now you've got to go and look for them.
00:06:55
Speaker 5: Yeah you do?
00:06:57
Speaker 11: Do you agree with that? Do you remember that?
00:06:58
Speaker 5: Absolutely?
00:07:00
Speaker 7: To be that person that the door greeter, slash bag checker. Hello, how are you? Can I help you?
00:07:05
Speaker 12: Do you do?
00:07:05
Speaker 6: You need help to find a certain area, certain departments and whatever it is?
00:07:09
Speaker 13: You know?
00:07:09
Speaker 5: I can help you. Point I would have felt greeted, thank you. I can't stand to Frank's point, Well, this is good. This is a good, nice, generalized Monday morning winge. Now, ring up, get it off, get off your chest. Feel better. We'll all get through this together. You pick up something to buy and then you can't even work out where the where the register is to buy it.
00:07:34
Speaker 6: But the department stores are the worst for this, the Mayas and the David Jones, which I don't want to get rid of them because I love them, because it's great to have multiple brands in the one store. But even when you can find someone or a register, oh sorry, I can't help you with that because I'm in the.
00:07:49
Speaker 5: Over there.
00:07:50
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know about that. I only take care of these two racks. You need to find someone else who takes care.
00:07:56
Speaker 7: Of that one and a half.
00:07:57
Speaker 5: It's not a problem. That's a year problem. Margin Hampstead Gardens, Good morning.
00:08:01
Speaker 14: Oh hi, yeah, look, I just want to make a few comments. It's not not shopped, but I've had to go to Center Link a few times in the last few weeks to fill in some forms and I've got really good service there. They used to treat you like you were you know, there was something wrong with you, but I think they've changed their attitude.
00:08:20
Speaker 5: It's good to hear. Mary. Did you find that, Marge, with multiple different people, did you just maybe get someone who was excellent, that was working. That's all good, that's great.
00:08:35
Speaker 14: He's very good. And I went to I had to go to another government department. I won't mention it to about electricity formed, but she was so helpful, you know, because I'm not on the computer, and that she filled the form out for me and everything.
00:08:49
Speaker 5: So well, marg you know, that's a nice antidote. I was going to say it was a generalized wind session, but no, Margie gave the good people that send like their flowers, and good on them for up in their game. From your perspective, MARDs, that's excellent.
00:09:03
Speaker 7: The positivity we needed this morning.
00:09:04
Speaker 6: Exactly right, Helen says, just go to Grundy's excellent service Glenelk.
00:09:09
Speaker 5: Yes, Grunnies a Glenelk Yep, terrific.
00:09:11
Speaker 7: Well check that one out next time, Helen. I've never been there.
00:09:14
Speaker 6: And Andrew I like this, he says, I'm next level strategic with my shopping. I research what I want, the place that has it at the cheapest price, how to get there, and where to park before I get there.
00:09:24
Speaker 5: Oh that's good.
00:09:24
Speaker 7: See, that's it.
00:09:25
Speaker 5: It's a game plan.
00:09:26
Speaker 6: Maybe this is a gendered thing. Men don't tend to browse. I'm a browser and I like to just Oh, yeah, let's go into Big w We'll see if they've got anything on sale.
00:09:36
Speaker 7: And what are we going in there for?
00:09:38
Speaker 5: What do we need? I don't know.
00:09:40
Speaker 12: Let's see what they have.
00:09:40
Speaker 7: No, we're not here for that.
00:09:42
Speaker 6: And then we get into an argument in the shops because I want to browse and he doesn't want to browse?
00:09:46
Speaker 5: Is that the Seinfeld a bit of the joke that the men's approach to watching TV is the same as women's approach to shopping.
00:09:54
Speaker 12: Yes, I haven't heard this before, but.
00:09:58
Speaker 5: Women want to watch what's on TV. Men want to know what else is on TV. And the shopping experience is the inverse of that.
00:10:05
Speaker 6: Yes, that the moment of just sitting there on the lounge for half an hour deciding what to watch.
00:10:12
Speaker 5: There are bedtime now, if that's exactly right, Dominic, good morning, Good morning guys.
00:10:19
Speaker 10: It's not just about the product. Business would so it's also they have to give the experience. So you know, if you don't if people come in and you don't ask or what they would like. That for me, I wouldn't go back. When I worked and produce as soon as the customer walked in, you had to drop everything and serve the also the experience. So in a lot of these companies you don't realize that. Maybe I wonder why we're not so busye, because a lot of people walk in, they don't get the service and they won't go back. Simple as that.
00:10:52
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, you know what, as you were speaking, Dominica, I was thinking about a story I was listening to over the weekend. Was speaking to a guy who worked at his father's bedding company when he was from when he was thirteen, fourteen and off and on the weekends. It was just he and his father there and he'd be at the back assembling beds or unpacking things. But if there was extra customers betting, no betting, bedding, Sorry, betting is in sleeping, not gambling. Legislation notice is a similar time no no no bedding with a D. And he said they knew that they would lose customers if he, the fourteen year old, didn't go out and try and sell beds. So if his dad would someone, he would have to come out. And the reason I bring that up having listened to that call we just got is I wonder if some of this is we used to have far more privately owned, family owned businesses. So the overall experience of walking to a store was that the people genuinely had to care because they never wanted to miss out and the game. That's right, and there are there were a couple of big, big players, but the overall experience of shopping was made better because you're generally going at a family owned play And as they've dis peered and been replaced by big multinationals and congloberates to hiring people who really da skin the game, whether the overall experience is just diminished.
00:12:08
Speaker 6: Yeah, because even we were saying, well, this is why people shop online. If you're not getting the assistance in store that you need, you might be more inclined just to buy them online.
00:12:16
Speaker 7: If they don't fit, send them back and get the other size, which is inconvenient.
00:12:20
Speaker 6: But if you're making going out of your way to go to the shops to try them on and you're still not getting help, also inconvenient, exactly.
00:12:26
Speaker 5: Sally and Hillcrest, good morning, good morning.
00:12:29
Speaker 1: How are you both?
00:12:30
Speaker 5: We are?
00:12:33
Speaker 1: I agree with you on both points, Stacy that going to the shops now and trying to get service is like trying to draw teeth. It is absolutely Oh it's ridiculous. They can stand there talking and socializing and totally ignore you. And if they do that, I make a point in saying, well you've just lost my service. Well done, I walk out. But I'm also a browser. My mum hates it. My mum will not come to the shops with me because she's going get what you need, get out, so's my partner. Whereas I will happily spend hours walking around the shops, and so will my daughter, and we'll we'll even windows shop. It doesn't worry us. Yeah, but yeah, I'm one of those who lights to go in. I did it on Saturday, went into the w and when I wonder what they've got in here, that's some special.
00:13:21
Speaker 5: Sally, you and I should go shopping one days we two go into a shoving center and never emerge. It's the dream for getting locked at the shopping center. Amazing. Thank you, Sally. Eight double two three double double textus on Yer before eight zero like Thurday ninety five. We're going to text from a retail worker and indeed others with their thoughts. We'll get to on the other side of.
00:13:41
Speaker 3: The break knockdown build two with metro Homes, sell one and move on, keep the other as an investments.
00:13:48
Speaker 12: Metro Homes. They do it all for you.
00:13:51
Speaker 4: Will goodings with Stacy Lee Vias his five double a.
00:13:54
Speaker 5: Breakfast twenty seven after six hope you like rain. Ten to twenty five millimeters on the rain today, are on the way today, ten to twenty five millimeters today, four to fifteen tomorrow, So the minimum if we got the lows, it'll be ten mils today four tomorrow, which is two really wet days. For Adelaide. I forgets the other end of the band. It's going to be something else tops of sixteen and seventeen. The good news is back end of the week looks pretty good as we get to the Saturday and Sunday. In fact, from Friday through the Sunday our forecast Maximus will have a two in front of them twenty twenty one and twenty Friday, Saturday Sunday. A little bit of a shower Friday, but otherwise pretty fine on Saturday and Sunday. It is certainly is exciting. Certainly got to the exciting part of the football season and indeed what's happening in this section of sports cricket the Premier League starting Tom Ren's been covering at all. Cork Glider or now order a new door with operator before the end of September, receive two extra handsets. Morning You're ready, Morning, Will Morning, Stacy.
00:14:51
Speaker 15: Yeah, we'll start with a footy, will you write stack a sport to get through, We'll go with the most recent Port yesterday. Look, it was a bottom four game. It felt like two sides that have really struggled positives though Port won. Jace Burgoyne was exceptional again. Mitch Georgeiardi's first game is captain and a bitter reward, you know, for him, he kicked a really important goal late on to put them back in front. It felt like Zach Merritt's part and gift to the Bombers was going to be taking pick one away from them. That would have been quite funny.
00:15:19
Speaker 5: But credit to the Bombers, the players and the fans. They wanted to win, even.
00:15:23
Speaker 15: Though it was I think no sense exactly. It was better for them to lose because now they finished last and get picked one, but the power one. It didn't affect their position at all. They're still fifteenth Mitch George Ardi's with five goals, as I said, But clearly now all attention is what Zach Budder.
00:15:39
Speaker 13: Is going to do.
00:15:40
Speaker 15: So he got back from the airport last night this audio thanks to nine Will Crouch bounced him at the airport.
00:15:45
Speaker 5: Let's have a listen.
00:15:46
Speaker 4: Seasons come to an end. Have you made a decision on your future at this stage?
00:15:49
Speaker 16: We have actually interviews in the next few days, so all of them chats the next couple days of the club.
00:15:53
Speaker 5: So that's when you in form port Adelaide of your decision moving forward. Yeah, like I had just said, we have some meetings in the next few days.
00:15:59
Speaker 10: So there.
00:16:00
Speaker 5: Yeah, likewise, I'll talk to them. It's our understanding.
00:16:03
Speaker 4: Gelong's the front runner. Can you see yourself playing at Gilong next year.
00:16:07
Speaker 5: I'm not going to comment he can't. He can't get to Gelong. Kenny another one going to Geelong? Ah, that would be just and the night mescenary for Port. In terms of compensation, yes, they've they've got their quality of their picks as garbage. You know, you'd love him to go to Richmond yep, if you're a Port fan. But Geelong, Yeah, there'd.
00:16:25
Speaker 15: Be a fair bit of haggling going on. I mean, there's no doubt he's made his mind up. It's and the longer it goes on, clearly you think he's gone.
00:16:32
Speaker 5: It feels like he's going to announce it. Yeah, well could you imagine it was you? You just if you've been if you've thought this way for six months, have been able to say you'd want to add first at your first opportunity, to be able.
00:16:42
Speaker 15: To come out and say, hey, this is what's happening, finally finally talk about it. Sure, exactly, So we'll wait to see what happens there. Crows will you would have watched it and seen it a good win for them, but they got some.
00:16:54
Speaker 5: Huge help from the Bulldogs on Saturday.
00:16:57
Speaker 15: What a result. So that means they finished sixth. They get this wild card weekend off, they get a home final in the elimination the week after and they play against the highest ranked win up. So if Melbourne win, it'll be Melbourne, they play Carlton. But if Melbourne lose, and I think they will with Jack Lever out, it'll be either the Bulldogs or Collinwood.
00:17:14
Speaker 5: But the Crows were good.
00:17:16
Speaker 15: They have to find another way to help Rankin and Dawson. Rankin's been so good. But you can't tell me that Craig McCrae or you know, Luke Beveridge aren't got to sit on him with the tight tag, He's not going to get the space that he had on Saturday night.
00:17:28
Speaker 5: Absolutely so a nice celebration of text too.
00:17:31
Speaker 15: Wasn't it six goals?
00:17:32
Speaker 5: Brilliant?
00:17:32
Speaker 15: It's so good. It was a beautiful send off for him. Other winners and losers losers on the weekend Melbourne, clearly the Swan's women will give them a shout out. Stacy Day had a great win yesterday and biggest ever crowd and then the men won too, and it was it was a weird sort of feeling, wasn't it Because the players that are left there, you know they're clearly they've showed contrition through the week. You could see the emotion after the game.
00:17:58
Speaker 5: Mills was in tears. He was in tears.
00:18:00
Speaker 15: It was highly emotive stuff. So you know, we'll see how it all plays out for the final. It's going to be much harder for them.
00:18:06
Speaker 5: During that.
00:18:07
Speaker 15: Ozzie Cricket team will give them a shout out. They had a good win, bounced back as we thought they would against Bangladeshi emphatic win. Inside two days Lando Norris won the Dutch Grand Prix overnight in the Formula one and the Premier League season. You're right, well it started Arsenal they look very very good and Manchester United they're one of the losers. They looked terrible to Neal loss and our too. Unfortunately I mentioned this one's w afil w. Unfortunately the Crows and Port Women they both lost yesterday, so not.
00:18:33
Speaker 5: Going for them. Not a great start at all. All right, good on your on you guys.
00:18:39
Speaker 3: Knockdown Bill two with Metro Homes Sell one and move on, keep the other as an investment metro homes.
00:18:46
Speaker 12: They do it all for you.
00:18:48
Speaker 4: Will goodings with Stacy Lee. This is five double a.
00:18:51
Speaker 5: Breakfast, twenty minutes to seven. In a moment, we're going to be talking about this devastating account of cuttlefish population that in South Australia has declined by ninety seven percent. Did a double take in seeing that figure sixty three thousand from just a year ago down to eighteen hundred and eleven cuttlefish in Spencer Gulf wards devastating? This is this is not it's hard to keep track of your biblical style plagues that have been visited on South Australia the moment. But this is not birdfly related. This is algal bloom related. Also, we think Mike Steers said as much. We'll be chatting with many cats in just a moment. Let's have listen to what Donald Trump's been up to overnight. He was at the start of an IndyCar race.
00:19:38
Speaker 7: What was your message to them about this historic day?
00:19:40
Speaker 5: Again? Good luck, do well, have fun.
00:19:43
Speaker 10: I don't want to say each sort of be safe because it's sort of a negative thought, right.
00:19:46
Speaker 17: They don't want to be thinking about that because if they do, they're generally speaking, you're not going to win.
00:19:57
Speaker 5: It's some inspiring words from Donald Trump. You know, don't worry abou beg safe because you might not win.
00:20:03
Speaker 7: Is that not the most Trump thing ever?
00:20:05
Speaker 5: It's good. Actually, it's actually quite an insight into his way of thinking. So let's not let it. Let's not have concerns about being safe under our mind here because we might not achieve excellence.
00:20:14
Speaker 7: We're here to be entertained. Make sure you do that please.
00:20:19
Speaker 5: At the Indica start of the race there in the United States. All right, back here in South Australia, let's talk about the decline in cuttlefish population. Is this is truly devastating. Many cats runs a dive shop in Wyala is also the director at air Lab Manny, good morning to you. So Mike Steer said yesterday that this was likely as a result of the alcohol bloom. In what way do you understand that the algole blooms will impact the population? Has it removed the things that cuttlefish feed on? Is it detrimental to them themselves? Does it take auction out of their environment? What's in what way does the alga bloom impact cuttlefish many.
00:20:58
Speaker 16: Yes, So the algamim is directly, it negatively impacts their their physiological processes and basically it you know, it kills them when they when they swim through algal bloom impacted waters. So not only would it you know, be impacting their food source, it will hurt them.
00:21:21
Speaker 5: As well.
00:21:22
Speaker 16: So cephalopods, which include squid and octopus as well as cuttlefish, are they're they're really heavily impacted by by the bloom. They seem to be hit hard when when it comes to you know, a lot of the other and compare them to a lot of the other marine species. Now there's there's lots and lots and lots of marine species that have been impacted by the bloom. But yeah, cephalopods are are right up there as far as the ones that are susceptible.
00:21:50
Speaker 7: So it sounds like it was sort of unavoidable.
00:21:53
Speaker 6: We knew the the alga bloom was occurring, and that almost was nothing that could have been done to prevent it from impacting the cuttlefish population.
00:22:05
Speaker 16: Yeah, I don't know, but yeah, it's unlikely that there would have been anything that we could have done to I guess prevent the boom from spreading up to the Upper Spencer Gulf.
00:22:19
Speaker 5: If you take many, if you take cuttlefish out of the ecosystem, what does that mean for the ecosystem.
00:22:23
Speaker 16: Well, so the cuttlefish and the aggregation, it acts as a really important event, a feeding event for a lot of other species. You know, since there's tens of thousands of cuttlefish that normally arrive when they come up here, they breed and then they die because they made at the end of their lifespan there, they'll act as food for seabirds, dolphins, fur seals, and other fish species. So yeah, it's there's a lot of other you know, organisms that are that are missing out on the feed.
00:22:59
Speaker 6: Basically, and it's a big part of the tourism in that area as well. I imagine fewer visitors, fewer income for the local economy.
00:23:09
Speaker 15: Yeah.
00:23:09
Speaker 16: So in twenty twenty one, local council reported that the cuddlefish industry helped generate I think it was about twenty one million dollars for the for the you know, the local economy, and that was you know, five years ago now, and the industry has you know, seen roughly had ten percent growth year to year. Yeah, so there's there's you know, thousands of people in while when it comes to you know, people who are working in hospitality and restaurants and accommodation as well as you know, within tourism itself that you know, are are really viewing the impacts of.
00:23:50
Speaker 5: The cuddlefish amount writing how resilient is the population in so far as well? Resilient's put out the right word. What is the capacity of the species to bounce back? Luck many?
00:24:01
Speaker 16: Well, we've we've seen we've seen it happened before. Back in twenty thirteen we had we had pretty low numbers and they they did recover. It was it was like thirteen thousand that they estimated and they bounced up to you know a couple hundred thousand within a handful of years or so. So so we do know that they can recover. I guess that's the that's the government hope, right, But you know, with with accounts being so low, the rate of recovery is something that that is also worrisome. Right, is it going to take you know, three years to recover, is it going to take you know, thirty years to recover, or you know, are they able to recover if another algabloom comes through right because this is this isn't over right, So it's it's it's understanding. Yet what I guess capacity they have for recovery, which is very uncertain. We won't know until next year comes around.
00:25:06
Speaker 5: All right, well, mannie, thank you. We hope when next year comes around it's a headline about that recovering population and not more devastation. Ninety seven percent reduction. Is it's hard to get you wrap your head around many cats. As the owner of the Wiler dive Shop and heastill met his business and livelhood being relying on the local industry, local hospitality industry being relying on cuttlefish as well. So there's a lot hinges on a population like this.
00:25:30
Speaker 6: It's not good for nature based tourism in essay at the moment is it with the news of reports of the cuddlefish all dying and then we're hearing about bird flu and now impacting seals as well.
00:25:40
Speaker 7: It's such a big part of our economy.
00:25:42
Speaker 5: It most certainly is. All right, let's head to us the weather Bureau to get a sense of the weak ahead, but probably starting most immediately Michael at the Michael Conway at the Weather Bureau with today where it sounds like there's going to be quite the deluge.
00:25:56
Speaker 18: Yeah, it's a bit of a wet couple of days ahead, Gus. We've got the rainband from a low that's about near Sjuna or At at this very moment is right on the doorstep of Adelaide there on the radar. It's coming over and it's going to be a wet day for like the twenty four hours from now into tomorrow, looking probably about twenty to forty milimeters through Adelaide region. Further south to Goo there could be higher falls local lies, higher falls along the southern parts of the Fluro Peninsula of York and your peninsula there could be even up to around sixty milimeters for local lives. Yeah, so that's the latest morning. Yeah, so it could be quite wet in parts, and the whole state's pretty much getting some rain. So yeah, the low will be at near Wayala this evening and they move off a big during tomorrow and the next day, and then we'll get a ridge coming in. But tomorrow tomorrow as well, we'll be wet for most of the day. Starts to clear off in the after Later in the afternoon, the evening. So yeah, so soggy a couple of days ahead.
00:27:08
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what a mich Conway there at the Bureau of Meteorology. We're just looking at the Facebook and YouTube live stream bookies put up the rain radar and it looks like it's coming. Adelaide is about to be swallowed by a giant rain cloud. Now, if you're not watching on the live stream, I'll just describe this for you. Generally, you see a band of rain come across and you can imagine a scenario where it just missus Adelaide, or it's going to hit us directly, or there's going to be parts of the This rain band extends from the northernmost part of South Australia to the southernmost point of Kangaro Island.
00:27:44
Speaker 7: It's coming, it's coming. It's not going to be patchy, that's right.
00:27:48
Speaker 5: Everyone is going to get some. It's only a matter of how much. So sixty meals and put some parts of the state that will be quite the story. If it's out north up to twenty five meals here for Adelaide. Let's head to save poles when you comes to all. Scott James on the line morning Scott.
00:28:02
Speaker 19: Good morning guys.
00:28:03
Speaker 5: A driver's been arrested doing a burnout right in front of a mark police car.
00:28:07
Speaker 19: That is right, so, that happened just before four fifteen this morning. Easton District patrols run Morefoot Street. They were removing an ironing board from the road that was causing a bit of a hazard there. While they were doing that, a driver of a white turt A hatchback drove past and allegedly performed burnout in front of them. Patrols attempted to direct the driver to stop, however, he decided to refuse, drive off speed and he was last seen on Mortfoot Street. That vehicle was then tracked to Curry Street and onto Solomon Street in the city, where the driver then exited the vehicle and attempted to run from police, but he was arrested shortly after on Curry Street. He was a twenty three year old Hectorville man. He was charged with a string of offenses including misusing, misuse of a motor vehicle, hindering police, driving under the influence, and numerous traffic offenses. His vehicle was impowdered for twenty eight days and he'll appear in the Magistrate's Court in November.
00:28:57
Speaker 7: Sounds like a smart guy.
00:28:59
Speaker 5: Another promising career of brain surgery tragically got short.
00:29:02
Speaker 6: There, Scott tell us what happened at glenellg last night.
00:29:06
Speaker 7: That was a man arrested.
00:29:07
Speaker 19: Yeah, so about six fifteen pm last night police were called to Jeti Road after reports from the public that a male was acting suspiciously. Police were quickly in attendance and located the man. He will allege that police will allege that the man was searched on numerous items, including a knife and cannabis, was located. He was arrested and charged with carrying an offensive weapon, unlawfully possessing a knife in a prescribed place and failing to comply with a bailogram and he was a boud to appear in the magistrates court in November.
00:29:34
Speaker 5: All right, good stuff, thank you Scott so and you came up to with Scott James there from saypile. Now I should point out we have a Royal Show Family Pass to give away a little bit later today, so stay listening. Sometime over between now and nine o'clock we will be seending you off to the Royal Show Family Pass. The show is just around the corner. If you ever got around organizing your tickets, there's nothing better than winning them for free. So stay listening because it could be you that does precisely that. A little bit later in.
00:29:57
Speaker 3: The morning, knockdown Bill too with metro Homes, Sell one and move on, keep the other as an investment.
00:30:04
Speaker 12: Metro Homes they do it all for you.
00:30:06
Speaker 4: Will Goodings with Stacy Lee. This is five double a breakfast.
00:30:15
Speaker 5: Six to seven. I think I offended the brain surgeons out there. We've got Rob text has said, why do people think? No, sorry, I affected the other surgeons. Rob said, why do people think brain surgeons are smarter than other surgeons? Food for thought. Rob never thought about it.
00:30:29
Speaker 7: To be honest, you'd want your brain surgeon to be one of the smartest.
00:30:34
Speaker 5: The stakes feel higher, I get it.
00:30:37
Speaker 6: Then he's followed up with another text, why aren't rocket scientists the smartest?
00:30:41
Speaker 5: Well, well they might be. The stakes aren't as high, are they?
00:30:45
Speaker 15: Yeah?
00:30:45
Speaker 5: Well maybe they are if you've got four people on board your rocket. I guess yeah. In fact, maybe the stakes are higher than because you're only ever operating a one brain at a time, aren't you not? For fair point, Rob apologize and Rob's clearly surgeon. Sorry Rob. You guys are all quite amazing at what you do.
00:31:00
Speaker 7: We're very impressive.
00:31:01
Speaker 5: Everything we are in ord it's much much motter than what we could muster. Should we took a busking Yeah, the Australian National Busking Championship at Goolwa is on about a young joints. It's out a good morning, good morning to you. Tell us about the Busking Championship.
00:31:18
Speaker 20: Yes, certainly. This was a brandchild of a chap over in Kerman, New South Wales of running regional heats throughout Australia and then the finalists of thirty get to go to Kerma for the grand finals. So it's quite a big thing. And we picked it up through slowdown Atol where they felt that the Gorwa Community Association was best to run it, which we did. We've picked it up and it's on the third of October and really looking forward.
00:31:51
Speaker 5: Okay, so third of October this is a heat to go through the final. So that does it is busking? Is it entirely musical or is there other forms of act that that people are busking with?
00:32:04
Speaker 20: Yes, there are other forms, not that we've had any applications for them jugglers mine, so we welcome those types of busts performers.
00:32:16
Speaker 6: Yeah, Valda, when does a busker? When is a busker not a busker anymore? I think it's how times and I started, you know, can you can you be too good to be a busker?
00:32:28
Speaker 20: Well I'm not sure about that, but I was going to mention times and I it certainly gets a foot into being seen. Yes, I guess that's the question for the judges.
00:32:41
Speaker 5: So what's the what's the busking history of gulw Like? Now, do you got any local hopes that you're going to be putting up for the for the heat?
00:32:50
Speaker 20: I'm not sure that we've had a lot of busking in.
00:32:54
Speaker 5: That's the start of it.
00:32:56
Speaker 20: It might be the thory Minchella certainly has a lot of music and this is also aimed at the primary school age. We've got prizes for the secondary school age, a people's choice where people vote for which buster they like. The Grand Air finals are going to be held at the Morraguealot at five o'clock on the day, so it's.
00:33:24
Speaker 8: A long day.
00:33:26
Speaker 5: Sounds like a real lot of fun though absolutely, And of.
00:33:29
Speaker 20: Course our major sponsor is Ray White at Goolwa.
00:33:33
Speaker 5: Oh good on them and good on you guys. The Australian National Busking Championships comes through Goolwa on Saturday, the third of October at the Goolwa Wharf Precinct. Good on you for coordinating what sounds like it's going to be a really fun event. Do we have any listeners who've ever busked? Anyone who's ever busket eight? Double two to three double A double A? Hasvouda said young people? I reckon. I wonder if we've got any listeners who are talented young musicians. I bet we've got a few that busked at some point in the life, because you see that we walked through Rundell Moore and there'll be someone with a cello or a flute or the violin or something or other that is just obscenely talented. But they're thirteen and there obviously just getting some public performing.
00:34:10
Speaker 6: Sort of experience, waiting for their fairy tale moment where there's some record label to come up and say, you know what, here's my business card.
00:34:17
Speaker 5: This is right call me. I've been listening. Let's through a top seven before seven, the.
00:34:21
Speaker 4: Top seven before seven.
00:34:24
Speaker 5: So Patty and Jess is back on deck. Today, Jet back from a sojourn to Japan is back on deck. Paddy had his own adventure on the weekend, called the Footy Soulo because Sam Tugwall's voice disappeared, having already called a sample game earlier that day. So Hero of the week is a very pat of Goldsmith. Hold him together. The five do a commentary team Saturday Night. Crow's trumpet over GWS All right, Top seven before seven. The reason I give them these introductions because this is all on them. The top seven before seven. Things you should not dress up for as for book week because they are not from books. Number seven Michael Jackson, number six, Donald Trump.
00:35:08
Speaker 6: Oh, hold on, I'm sure there'd be a biography.
00:35:11
Speaker 5: Haven't you guys heard of Art of the Deal.
00:35:14
Speaker 12: Author? Ah?
00:35:16
Speaker 5: I think that one counts number five, Shrek no book, Shrek, no Book of Shrek four Mario, Oh yeah, video game fan fiction? Do we count fan fiction? Hetty put his hand in his eyes and his hands that one too. Thomas the tank Engine, and I said a front do ringo Star number two. A wiggle don't go as a wiggle. It's not from a book. Number one, Bluwie says, you can't go as blue.
00:35:41
Speaker 7: I've got blue books.
00:35:42
Speaker 5: I got blue books.
00:35:43
Speaker 6: No, Yeah, the books originate from TV show doesn't mean that they don't exist.
00:35:49
Speaker 5: This is a good definitional question about book Week that I'm sure parents have been grappling with over the weekend. Does it have to is the first evidence of a character doesn't need to be from a book for it to qualify for book Week. Doesn't seem to be the experience out That's what Patty's a hardliner on this. He says, it absolutely has.
00:36:07
Speaker 6: To do Why Patty can say that because no offense. But you're a twenty three year old without kids. I think parents out there are twenty four now sorry sorry sorry, mister birthday that parents out there would be saying, I.
00:36:17
Speaker 7: Don't care where it originated. I've got the costume and the kids are wearing it.
00:36:22
Speaker 5: Absolutely right. Anyone going through a grandparent or parent that's been on book Book Book Week journey, we'd like to hear from you as well, because we've got some questions. Eight double two three double.
00:36:31
Speaker 3: A knockdown bill two with Metro Homes, sell one and move on, keep the other as an investment.
00:36:42
Speaker 12: Metro Homes they do it all for you.
00:36:44
Speaker 4: Will goodings with Stacey Lee. This is five double a breakfast.
00:36:52
Speaker 5: Height after seven. Good morning, serve you're joining us for the first time on this Monday, the twenty fourth of August, and as always as a bit of controversy about the seven before seven this morning things that you should not dress up for book Week because they're not from books. Shrek, says Damien on the text line, did in fact come from a book before a movie. There was a nineteen to ninety animated short Not sure, he's not short film, but like a short cartoon style book called Shrek with an exclamation mark. He looked a bit different from current Shrek. But Damien is absolutely correct. Number five doesn't count. And someone else pointed out Thomas the tank Engine originally came from a book as well, so that counts. You're allowed to go as Thomas the Tank The others though still the subject of Patrick's hardline interpretation of book Week, which is to say that if the character didn't originate from a book first, it should not be eligible. Happy to take your view on that, folks. We'd love to chat with a parent who's been or grandparent who's been furiously working on book Week costume because this is the week. Catherine sent us to a really lovely picture a short time ago of her son I imagine who was Chip from Beauty and the Beast the teacup.
00:37:58
Speaker 6: Which is perfect costume.
00:38:00
Speaker 7: I love it, Catherine.
00:38:01
Speaker 5: That would have taken so much work. It looks spectacular.
00:38:03
Speaker 6: And someone else said, the best Book Week dress up I've ever heard is Jesus. And then they followed up with a text from the Bible right.
00:38:10
Speaker 5: Just to the class right, supposed to be some of his other work. The Bible is the best collection of Jesus related exploits. I've always said, so thank you for that text. Er it zero Waight thirty ninety five. If you've got some Book Week thoughts for us, or indeed you're involved in the process. Also, if you ever busked? We went here from someone who's busks this morning. If you ever busked? The World Busking Championships are going on. They've got heats throughout regional Australia and Gulway is hosting one here in October. Who's ever stood out in front of a crowd of shoppers or people and played an instrument, sung, done magic tricks whatever it might well be? You've done busking, we'd love to hear about it.
00:38:51
Speaker 6: And is it a dying industry now with not many people carrying cash?
00:38:56
Speaker 5: I actually thought I was thinking that we'll can cross the footbridge for the footy on Saturday night. I can't recall which charity the guys were from, and I thought, you, Paul, that they need then there needs to be a sort of you know those little white devices where you can buy things that you can tap and go that a pre set to say two bucks or something or rather, and I reckon they do a roaring trade. It was just two dollars tap here for childhood cancer, whatever it might well be. I think you'd get fifty thousand people walking basketing ding ding ding, because just the proportion of people carrying cash is so low. It's just it's hard to I feel really bad for them because I don't carry cash, and I think it would be nice to be able to donate.
00:39:33
Speaker 7: I know, I see I do.
00:39:34
Speaker 6: I always carry cash, but it's always the backup fifty, so you're not throwing that in someone's guitary.
00:39:40
Speaker 5: You don't ask if you can break a fifty guitar. Guy, Can you just stop for a second, there's a big breaking news this morning. The yesterday if you're just catching up with it, there was a sea lion that got had a positive detection. A seal found at beach Port was the first mammal in Australia to test positive to bird flu. Well, we've just been handed some information from the state government that suggests of five new suspected bird full events in South Australia. One involves a long nosed surf feel at the Pages Conservation Park, which would mean there is now two seals that have confirmed cases. They are the first mammals first bird to mammals transmission of bird flu. Other suspected events involve greater crested turns, one at Osborne in the Metro area, one on the Limestone Coast and a white fronted turn of the Limestone Coast as well. So five new incidences this morning, but most concerningly a second seal, this one at the Page's Conservation Park. We will be talking about that in depth after eight point thirty yesterday. Though the concern was about the first instance and indeed the trajectory of bird flu here in South Australia.
00:40:51
Speaker 21: A lot of considerations to work through from both a science perspective as well as a regulatory perspective before we can get to the point of actually putting VACK scenes in sea lions.
00:41:01
Speaker 6: We are working as closely as we can with the research has happened around the world.
00:41:04
Speaker 8: I'll be working with the US where there has been one trial undertaken.
00:41:08
Speaker 5: So their trial about the vaccine they're talking about is being done and way at the moment now experimental. We hope, you know, there's a miracle and it's something that can be applied very quickly here to it feels like what's happening to us is coming really fast. I'm not sure how quickly that trial can move or how advanced it is. Maybe it'll be something that can can help us out here. Let's hope it is the case. But at this point in time, it's looking very very concerning. If you like rain, you're going to love today. You have a listen to Michael Conway from the Bureau.
00:41:37
Speaker 18: The rainband is right on the doorstep of Adelaide there on the radar, like they're twenty four hours from now into tomorrow, looking probably about twenty to forty millimeters through Adelaide region further south to go that could be higher falls along the southern parts of Pleuro Peninsula of York and your peninsula there could be even up to around sixty millionaires.
00:41:58
Speaker 5: So it's seriously what your peninsul twenty to forty and ad later will be quite the rain event as well if you're he said so last report we spoke to Michael thirty minutes ago outskirts of Sojuna. It starts raining if you can hear us and it's raining where you are, let us know zero before eight zero eight thirty ninety five or call in an eight double two three double o double O.
00:42:18
Speaker 6: Well, there's been a lot of news around over the weekend about the Stop the Chop rally, some people saying tens of thousands of people turned out for the rally. One of those was Jack Batty from the Opposition, and we thought it would be a good time to talk to the opposition about their stance on the Moto GP and other events happening in Adelaide, and of course to talk about Small Business Week last week because they were raising a whole heap of issues that small businesses in South Australia have. So it was a good opportunity to talk to Ashton Hearn, the leader of the opposition.
00:42:49
Speaker 13: Good morning to you, Good morning Stacey will Win all your listeners too.
00:42:54
Speaker 6: Let's start with Small Business Week. Last week you've been highlighting the concerns that some businesses have in South Australia. What has been the biggest one they've raised with you?
00:43:05
Speaker 13: Yeah, look, and you know what I found last week is that there certainly are a number of businesses who are going pretty well. But in Small Business Week, I've kind of took the approach that it's not just about being all pollyanna positive about those it's also about having a serious conversation about what else government can do to give these self starters just some breathing room. And by far and away, the number one issue of businesses that I spoke to last week was payroll tax. So that's something that obviously we took a policy to the state election just to lift the payroll tax threshold to two point one million dollars and that's certainly got the support of a number of businesses and might I add not just those in the city, but in the country as well. So that's just given us that additional level of confidence that we're on the right track and we'll keep focusing on these bread and butter issues that we know that people are battling.
00:43:57
Speaker 6: Is that still going to be a focus of the opposition. I realize we're still quite a long way away from the next state election, but do you anticipate you'll have a payroll tax as one of your policies.
00:44:09
Speaker 13: Absolutely, there's no doubt in my mind, Stacey, And we learned this from the election that for us it's just about getting back to those bread and butter issues, and for the Liberals it is all about the economy. So we'll keep pushing those Payroll tax is a big one because you know, wages have gone up twenty five percent since twenty eighteen, which is fantastic for a lot of people, don't get me wrong, but there's been no parallel lift for the payroll tax threshold. And what that essentially means is that businesses who haven't even employed an additional person have now kicked over into paying payroll tax to the state government. So we want to see that change, but also just the confidence with some people like I was at a hairdresser on King William Road, and you know, one of the most concerning comments I suppose that I heard last week was that you know, she no longer sees benefit in being in business. She may as well get a chair in someone else's business. And I thought that that rings the alarm bells, because you want people to have that sense of aspiration and we want to see you know, the private sector really you know, turbocharge our economy. So we'll keep focusing on these issues.
00:45:21
Speaker 5: Do you think small businesses benefit from major events in the city, and if they do, why would you stand in the way of them?
00:45:27
Speaker 13: Well, we're certainly not. I think it's it is timely to come on your program very clearly. We do support major events in the city. I've said that about the Moto GP as well. But you know, Labor seems to have got themselves into a bit of a twist where if you don't support cutting down hundreds of trees, then somehow you're against events, and we just think that's a pretty ridiculous position. They should get a lot more creative with the track design, which they're yet to release. We've got the V eights in the city, We've had the F one, so why can't we have the Moto GP without cutting down hundreds of trees?
00:46:01
Speaker 5: So you think there's a version of a Moto GB track that doesn't involve cutting down trees that the state government just haven't gone with because why well, the government.
00:46:15
Speaker 13: Said, I've asked this in estimates and all of those types of things will and the government said that they've looked at forty five different tracks apparently, but were yet to see any of the details. So we just think it is reasonable that they could put forward plans that do show a level of respect for the park plans. You can have events in the city and support the park plans. We've seen it with the V eights and we've seen it with the F one, So that's our position. But at the end of the day, it's also it's perfectly reasonable for the opposition to be asking what I think are pretty legitimate questions about that are based on community concerns. So that's part of the role of the opposition and we'll keep doing that.
00:46:52
Speaker 6: So you do support the Moto GP in the city, you wouldn't want to see it moved to tailor ben for example.
00:46:58
Speaker 13: Oh, we do support the Moto GP. I've said that. I was asked during the election campaign do we support it. I've said yes, But it's Labour.
00:47:06
Speaker 16: Seems to have.
00:47:07
Speaker 13: Labor seems to have worked themselves into a position where you only support major events if you also support cutting down trees in the park plans. We do believe that there is a nuanced position here. We think that, you know, cutting down all of these trees should be avoided at all costs. But at the end of the day, it's just not right that you know, and I think this speaks to the arrogance of the Labor Party. Really asking genuine questions that are based on community concern doesn't make you anti events. It is the role of the opposition to be, you know, putting the government under a certain level of scrutiny, and you know they don't get a free right on this issue.
00:47:44
Speaker 5: But just because your supportive of it being in the city, I.
00:47:48
Speaker 13: Would love to see, I would love to see in the city. But it's up to the government to do the legwork to make sure that they are minimizing the number of trees that are removed. At the end of the day, we've seen these moto sports events go ahead in the city, like the V eight, like vf ones. Why can't it be the same for the Moto.
00:48:06
Speaker 6: GP Okay Ashton Hern, thanks for your time this morning a pleasure. Thanks guys, Leader of the Opposition, Ashton Hearn.
00:48:13
Speaker 5: There a few texts coming through. We'll get to those in a moment. On zero before zero eight thirty ninety five. First let's check traffic.
00:48:19
Speaker 3: Knockdown Bill two with Metro Homes, Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes.
00:48:26
Speaker 12: They do it all for you.
00:48:28
Speaker 4: Will goodings with Stacy Lee. This is five double a breakfast.
00:48:35
Speaker 5: Twenty four after seven Stephen Rowe in just the moment. We spoke before seven o'clock about the busking Championships in Australia and how there's a heat on at Gulwa. Quentin and Old Round has got a busking story for us. Morning Quentin, Good mornings, the beautiful table. If you bus Quentin, I can, I can? I can imagine that? No, I'm a blood.
00:49:00
Speaker 8: He was about young Harry. He was about on I don't know six or seven. We've been to the fringe. We went to bon Orlo for dinner and he he got bored, so he went out in the front of the restaurant, threw his hat down on the ground, started doing the floss dance. He was doing that, a couple of people threw the money in and then the good bit was the one of those blind sorry silent disco groups came through with about fifty of them and they just gathered around him and joined in with him. He got about twenty bucks.
00:49:32
Speaker 5: Sensational paid his own way for dinner. Quintin, Well, yeah, yeah, I wish that was through. That is great, that's good today.
00:49:41
Speaker 6: Harry's a good cook. And now we know he's good at busking exactly right.
00:49:46
Speaker 5: Flossing was the dance. No, that's remarkable bit of impromptu busking. If you've got a busking story for us, we'd love to hear it. It's running in Hawthorne, Manningham and Campbelltown's eaten. So it's a pretty good spread yep.
00:50:02
Speaker 6: Torrens Park, Wawson Lakes too. And then for that one person who sent us a screenshot of the radar and said there's no rain, just zoom.
00:50:10
Speaker 5: Out, zoom out a little bit at have a look at it on the Facebook and YouTube live stream. At the moment, that is an enormous band of cloud that is headed towards Adelaide, and that you can see that the big the thickest chunk of it is heading towards the Flurida and the southern parts of the state, where we could get up to sixty millimeters of rain, but twenty to forty over the next two days expected for Adelaide, and it's not hard to imagine why having a look at the rain radar.
00:50:36
Speaker 4: Stephen right on five Double A Breakfast.
00:50:45
Speaker 5: All right, Monday morning, time to reflect on the weekend in sport that was. Stephen Roe joins us on five Double A Breakfast and row. It was a footy weekend that went pretty well for the Crows really because they've avoided the wild card, got a week off and embedded in the top six.
00:51:00
Speaker 17: Could not have gone better at Will and Stacey. Good morning, year they're finished six. It was a confidence building win too, probably their best ball movement for the year, their highest score for the year. It was on the back of Isaac record. I mean, thirty five disposals, four goals, twelve clearances over eight hundred meters gain. He's in a rich vain of form and I've got a lot more confidence in that midfield now with him and Curtains in there, and you know they've got finals coming up. That's going to be the big test, but what a way to send the big textan off as well. Six goals left foot, right foot, He done a big frisbee flop over the top of someone's head. He had goal assists, strong one on one marks. It was just a classic text game to go out.
00:51:41
Speaker 5: On on it and it wasn't. It was great. The crowd that came out to it was nearly fifty three thousand for a game. It's not gws are pulling a big away crowd, and that was the crowd that was there to see Text and celebrate his career. It was It was a it felt like Adaill sort of Candi of atmosphere about it. On Saturday night. It was a very fun night at the footy.
00:51:58
Speaker 17: He's going to be hard to replace next fact, you won't replace him on and off the field. Just a true leader and a champion bloke. I love how they set the team up and Hooray around twenty four keys back in the form with a run with role. That's his role. He's task orientated. I do that for the rest of the finals. Philthorpe's second ruck kick three goals for Hooray keeps him in the game Dan Curtain inside mid I bet you will. They wish they kept him there four weeks ago. Imagine the form we'd be in now. But that was great Miller's back Archie to come back. I'm more confident today than I was two weeks ago about our September form. Now, I don't know whether they've listened to people or the pennies dropped. I don't care. The ball movement, the attack players in the right positions. It's a lot to look forward to. And they can sit back this week, can't they and watch what's going to happen in the World Card draw, which could have been us last week.
00:52:50
Speaker 5: And obviously RAWI we've never gotten ahead of ourselves in this segment, so we won't now. But the.
00:52:57
Speaker 17: I'm living in the now.
00:52:58
Speaker 5: I'm living in the now. The draws broken, okay because the Crows on the Sydney side of things, and they're obviously massively depleted. So well there's a pass there to a privm Well there is.
00:53:09
Speaker 17: So for those that don't know the wild card weekend. This weekend, Melbourne have got Carton, Dogs have got Collingwood the highest ranked team or winner from that, So say Melbourne beat Carlton. We're playing Melbourne. Say Carlton beat Melbourne, it'll either be Dogs or Collingwood. So we play the highest ranked winner the week after in an elimination at home. So you're right they win that. Who's to say Sydney will lose it's at home against Brisbane.
00:53:36
Speaker 5: I'm willing to say they will lose.
00:53:38
Speaker 17: Oh well, I am too. I think Brisbane. I think the team to be Oh look it is a big ass. It is a big ask and absolute big ass. And look, you know eighteams now Season twenty six is over, just like that. Doubt there be any mad mondays or any dress ups this year. Reckon, it's reviews and coffees and that's it. I can imagine eight CEOs sending letters to the footy managers saying, hey, do you see what happened at Sydney. Let's just you do everything right. Port finished fifteenth their sample team bottom. God, they've got work to do in the off season, all aspects of their footy program, don't they.
00:54:16
Speaker 6: And Rowie you reckon, we'll get an announcement from Zach Butter's this week about where he's going.
00:54:22
Speaker 17: I reckon it'll be today.
00:54:23
Speaker 5: Oh why wait?
00:54:26
Speaker 17: Why would they just pull the band aid off front the media, Tell your team, yeap, whatever it is, what you could be staying. But look, it's all leaning towards he's going, isn't it now. I don't know whether he's going to be able to pick a club, but it's going to be just look, I'm going thank you. What a superstar he's been for that club, Hey, Zach. But it's just an all out bloody gun. He's a ripper.
00:54:47
Speaker 5: He is good on you.
00:54:49
Speaker 13: Ow.
00:54:50
Speaker 17: Thanks guys. See you.
00:54:54
Speaker 3: Knockdown Bill two with Metro Homes, sell one and move on, keep the other as an investment.
00:55:00
Speaker 12: The Metro Homes. They do it all for you.
00:55:02
Speaker 4: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is five double a Breakfast.
00:55:07
Speaker 5: Twenty to weight. We have a Royal Show Family pass to give away. We're going to be doing that after eight o'clock this morning. I think it was inspired by in part by some text we've received this morning about book week, but we'll reveal all a little bit later in the morning. Also, we're going to follow up what is now the big breaking news story of the morning. A second seal has been stricken with bird flu. That is two incidents now of bird to mammal transmission. And that is the scenario about which all the wildlife experts in Australia were really concerned about. It's happened the PURSA chief veteran, your officer sky frew And is going to join us after eight thirty today, six years from now, you might not know where you are or what you're going to be doing. I'm guessing though a great many will be starting sitting down to start watching the Brisbane Olympic Games. It's a big period, the build up from now. If you imagine you're someone who's thirteen or fourteen, I guess in year what eight nine at school, you're probably in some talent pathway imagining it might be a reality. And we have really robust and excellent pathways to get talented people up until the upper echelons of sport. We need those similar things in place for our wonderful Paralympians, and they do exist. But when it's a home Olympics, we want to make sure are there even stronger, and the opportunities are even better and our athletes are even better supported. No one knows this better than an next guest. Former paralympian Matt Cowdry Matt, good morning, Well, so just give us a bit of a sense six years out from a Paralympics, your first Paralympics, what were you doing were where were you at in new terms of your athletic career.
00:56:42
Speaker 22: Good morning. I think I was just starting to get into competitor assuming at that stage, but certainly no awareness of a Paralympic pathway or a development opportunity like the one that we're about to talk about this morning. It was sitting in an enabled by program doing a few laps.
00:57:01
Speaker 6: It's really interesting because if you were to ask me, Matt, what do you think you'll be doing in six years? I don't know and I probably won't be thinking about it until five years time.
00:57:10
Speaker 7: But it's just not the case for our athletes here in Australia.
00:57:14
Speaker 6: You know, you have to plan, you have to plan ahead for these things and you've got to train for it and to be ready for it, and it's an incredible amount of work that goes into it.
00:57:25
Speaker 22: There's a huge amount of work involved in from a system level to have our best games. Ever, we've got to find these athletes early as well, so particularly on apparently BIC side, as you've just said we don't have as strong pathways. We've never had quite a strong talent id, but that is starting to change. The Federal government, the Strange Sports Commission, Parambi's Australia if all partnered together over the last couple of years and put in place to power units at each.
00:57:52
Speaker 8: Of the.
00:57:54
Speaker 22: Individual state sports institutes, and we've got a very exciting launch the small warning of the Parafugures Cup, which is going to be a multi sport event that will be sending teams from across the country to representing their state sports institutes. Were down at SASE this morning. Their athletes are getting excited about that opportunity. So it's the start of bridging the gap between the able boot and the Paralympic pathway.
00:58:19
Speaker 5: So the Parafutures Cup Matt is it sort of effectively a national championships for all or a large number of Paralympic sports.
00:58:29
Speaker 22: This is just the start, so it's a pilot this year. There'll be a range of sports offered, but the stage of where some of these athletes are. It's a multi sport opportunity. So to define the sport under pressure that you are going to be most a doubt too and to take part in that. So it's the start of the opportunity. It's about emerging and developing athletes. So it's start to really get on the pape.
00:58:52
Speaker 5: My analogy was wrong. It's not a national championships. This is this is for people to find themselves in sport and work out where they might they might have natural ability.
00:59:01
Speaker 22: That's exactly right. Bringing them together to share stories, to understand how they got into sport, to provide them learning opportunities and to really see what's possible. The one thing that we do know is the Paralympic pathway can often be recently short, depending on depending on the sport and their journey. So we're about maximizing the next six years and having a stronger team as we possibly can as we come into twenty thirty two, and leaving these athletes with the opportunity to inspire the next generation of Paralympians who they'll be able to see on the screens competing.
00:59:35
Speaker 6: And so the Parafutures Cup there'll be four teams. States and territories are joining up. I was interested by this. So Queensland and the Northern Territory are together, New South Wales and the Act have joined Victoria and Tasmania, leaving South Australia and WA. How do we feel about being teamed up with WA.
00:59:54
Speaker 22: Math Well, we win on land masks, that's for sure, and probably state finances, but there's a few opportunities. We're pretty happy about that. To be completely honest, the guys across the ways has been doing you a pretty good job too of identifying some good talent. So, like I said, the opportunity for these athletes so this stage in the pathway to get together with some of their peers from the other states to see what their journeys are like and where they're headed, is a fantastic mind at them. And even better, the Cup has just been named this morning after Libby cosmol On, one of our fantastic and legendary currently pick athletes here in South Australia thirteen Paralympic Games. She is an absolute legend and she's down here this morning mentoring and inspiring and having a chat to some of the young athletes they're about to compete.
01:00:45
Speaker 7: That's awesome.
01:00:45
Speaker 5: It's a great initiative and you explain it well and the need for it, Matt, and what the wonderful positive benefit it does have I do wonder and I know that looking at sporting achievements solely through the prism of the metal tally is limited. But at Paris, as we came forth as a nation, and yet in the Paralympic performance we came ninth, and I reckon historically that and you would know better than I that's been flipped. We've we've often done better Paralympics than we've done on the metal tally. Have we underperformed? Have we underresourced this area? Is that what that Paris result tells us.
01:01:25
Speaker 22: It tells us that Paralympic sport is now more competitive than it's ever been. And that's the reaction that the federal government has had to provide the funds into the Paralympic Uplift to reconcile that, to start to have us back on a triactory towards the top of the metal tally, which is what we're obviously all about. But that is coupled, of course with the life changing benefits that come with Paralympic sport and what we can do for the nation and people with a disability could.
01:01:54
Speaker 5: Just speacause we don't have you reckon up gold medals in there at the moment as well. I guess sadly, I'm well, now you're doing important work, Matt. It's a great initiative and we hope we find a whole bunch of absolute new stars from it as well. Thanks for joining us this morning.
01:02:11
Speaker 22: Thanks guys, I appreciate it.
01:02:12
Speaker 5: Former Paralympian and South stron MP Matt Cawbrey. Everyone sounds happy when they leave politics. You notice that it's like a weight lifted off. Every time we spent to someone who's freesently exited politics, they sounded they sound way more relaxed. All right, let's check.
01:02:29
Speaker 3: Traffic 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.
01:02:38
Speaker 4: Will Goodings with Stacy Lee. This is five double a break fast.
01:02:44
Speaker 5: We have a remarkable tickety of a way to you, a chance to win a three day pass and an incredible V eight hot lap experience of the Air Touch five hundred at the Shell vp Our Motorsport Park. It's the enduro race that you can really experience with free parking, free padder access and advanced fan zones and track side camping. So you've we've got a three day double pass to the air Touch five hundred to give away at the Motorsport park for someone who can who can call in. In fact, let's open the phone lines on this eight double two three double O double O. Stacy pointed this out, This is worth discussing. Matt Cowdrey made the point, then in the future's cut this new initiative to try and find our Paralympians of the future. South Australia has been teamed up with Western Australia. If for the purposes of sporting excellence or just sport, we had to team up with another state. Who should it be that South Australia teams up with? Which state does WA make the most sense? Is it Victoria? Doesn't sound it doesn't feel right, doesn't feel right, doesn't feel right? Eight double two three double o double o. If we have if we ever to pair off all the states, who should who would do? Who do we make the most sense with?
01:03:54
Speaker 6: Because I was thinking about it from a non sporting practical perspective and I thought purely based on timeline and maybe it should be the Northern Territory.
01:04:02
Speaker 5: Well that's the VICKI Chapman the half.
01:04:03
Speaker 6: The year where the same time zone about half of you or not, but maybe it should be the Northern territory. But if we are talking about sporting excellence, no offense to the Northern Territory, much.
01:04:13
Speaker 5: That comes out become we become a real underdog story. Yeah, you're right. Do you want do we want a good cultural fit or do we want to win? Yeah, happy to take people's arguments on this. Actually eight double two three double odo. However your suede by just wanting to pull with the best group of talent, or if you think there is something some we connect on a better level with certain states, let us know eight double two three double A double O. We'll get to those in just a moment and give away those excellent tickets. But first let's talk real estate with Brondie Manual from TUP and Morning. Brondie, Good morning guys, Brondie. I don't know if you've seen this in your Darta, but a driving around in our neck of the woods out in the western suburbs at the moment, it feels like there is an absolute stack of units on the market right now. Is that is that just a local story or that something we're actually seeing play out across the real estate marketplace.
01:05:04
Speaker 23: Well, I think, guys, obviously we become a bit of a product of our environment, and we've probably used to not seeing too many for sale signs at all, and splitting the unit data and splitting the housing data is very difficult to do. But what I would say is that houses, like in total total stock on market, it is up thirty percent.
01:05:25
Speaker 5: That's pretty massive, isn't it.
01:05:27
Speaker 23: Well, it's massive, but it takes us to ten thousand properties roughly of ten three hundred or four hundred on the market. And I guess the last time I felt like the market was normal was twenty and eighteen, twenty nineteen, right, Like, that's what I felt was normal. And when the market was normal, there was typically fifteen and a half to sixteen thousand properties on the market. So I think, yes, going from maybe eight thousand to ten and a half thousand feels like an increase. Well it is, but it's still well and truly below what is a normal equilibrium market. But at the moment new stock like coming in, so properties that have just hit the market or sub thirty days, that's up about fifteen percent, so not thirty and the reason that the total stock is up to thirty percent, I one hundred percent believe guys, it's just on the basis I'm actually in Queensland right now in a conference that I spoke at yesterday and just listening to everybody on the ground. It's all about training agents to be able to have conversations with clients and go, hey, look like the market your property. If it's worth a million dollars, we can't price it at one point four and hope anymore. Like if it's worth a million, we need to price it at a million. And it's never been worth more than a million. So don't let me tell you. Don't let me think that the market's declining. It's just we need to be sharper. But what's happened for the last four years is agents have kind of walked out their back door or buy fell off their head off the gutter and they've sold a property without trying. So I think it's an agent problem more than an interesting market problem. And I think we've still got growth, but definitely not double digit growth that canveil out over priced property.
01:07:15
Speaker 6: This is where the good agents will be weeded out from the rest.
01:07:19
Speaker 23: I think one hundred cent believe that, and I think secondary to that. Right now, if you were to say to me, oh, look, is it a good time to buy a unit or to buy a house, I would say to you that there's a lot of agents that have got into the industry in the last four years and they haven't seen it in twenty eighteen market which was normal, not bad, normal, and they're panicking. So I think there's deals to be had, but predominantly driven by agents rather than market. If that makes any remote sense.
01:07:49
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, fascinating is always Broady appreciate it may Broady manual from a two to two as we took real estate each and every Monday morning. All right, let's talk about state rivalry or it's sort of the opposite of state right If we had to team up with a state for the purposes of sport, who would we pick? And why we've got tickets to give away to this excellent air touch five hundred the Shell VP Motors spark a three day double pass. In fact, Trevor and Seaford, good morning. Who would you have us teaming up with Queensland?
01:08:17
Speaker 24: Two reasons One, most of the swimmers come from Queensland and our biggest strength is swimming.
01:08:25
Speaker 5: That's that's a practical choice. I think Queensland at the if we did the medals from state of origin tam the Commonwealth Games won the Commonwealth Games. I think that's true. Let's go to Andrew Andrew, who are we teaming up with?
01:08:42
Speaker 16: No Western Australia because South Australia has.
01:08:45
Speaker 11: Got potential mining.
01:08:49
Speaker 24: Expansion to be undertaken. Uranium should be mined a.
01:08:53
Speaker 25: Lot further than what we are the copper, the rareers that are in this day.
01:09:00
Speaker 24: With West Australia. Plus we've got the smells.
01:09:03
Speaker 11: And the steel words.
01:09:05
Speaker 5: Yeah, I like that one as well. Good on you, Andrew.
01:09:07
Speaker 6: Similarities there, Yeah, sport relations.
01:09:10
Speaker 5: That's okay, having for it, sort of have a good cultural fit. Who do you like for the tickets?
01:09:16
Speaker 7: Ericon Trevor, Go on, Trevor.
01:09:18
Speaker 5: Good on your Trevor. You're off to see the Air Touch five hundred. It's on the eleventh and thirteen eleventh through to the thirteenth of September. One of the most affordable Supercause rounds, free parking, free paddock access, expanded fan zones and trackside.
01:09:33
Speaker 3: Camp knockdown build too with Metro homes, sell one and move on, keep the other as an investment.
01:09:41
Speaker 12: Metro Homes. They do it all for you.
01:09:44
Speaker 4: All goods with Stacy Lee is five double A breadst.
01:09:52
Speaker 5: Nine after eat break. It ain't coming up in just a moment where you have a Royal Show Family pass to give away. We're going to be doing that in the next twenty minute. It's get thinking about book week. And one of the guiding principles of this show has historically been Stacy, if there's an easy way to do it, that's the way we should try and do it. So if you think about combining those two things, you'll be well on the path to potentially winning yourself a Royal Show Family Pass. This half hour on the program, the number is eight double two three double A double A. But I'll spell it out very simply for you shortly. If you're very concerned by the headlines you've been hearing this morning with regard to a second seal that has been a found to have been stricken with bird flu, stay listening. Persi's chief veterinany Officer, Sky Fruen, will join us after eight thirty wegginting daily updates. At the moment, there were five new ones this morning, including that long nosed a first seal at the Pages Conservation Park. But there was three greater crested turns, a white fronted turn limestone coast. Seems like there's a spot with this. It's pretty hot for these kind of detections at the moment. We're going to put some questions to the Chief Veteran Officer from Purser after eight thirty and if you've got a question, as always, we invite you to text it through and we'll far through on your behalf as well. Zero before eight zero eight thirty ninety five.
01:11:13
Speaker 6: Well, a couple of weeks ago we spoke about the social worker registration scheme being scrapped and this was something that multiple successive governments had planned. It was a recommendation from an inquiry after Well, I think it would be an understatement to say some issues within the child protection and social workers schemes in South Australia. So this registration scheme was planned and a whole lot of taxpayer dollars were spent on it, and then very suddenly a couple months ago it was announced in our estimates in Parliament that it was scrapped. Now there could be a new inquiry into the scrapping of the scheme, and Laura Henderson is the Liberal MP who will move the motion for this inquiry when Parliament sits next She joins you this morning, Good morning, Hugh, Laura Henderson.
01:12:01
Speaker 26: Good morning, Good morning to you listeners.
01:12:03
Speaker 7: Why do we need a parliamentary inquiry into this?
01:12:07
Speaker 26: We're asking the Parliament to inquire into the circumstances thround in the government's decision to scrap the social worker registration scheme because at the end of the day, I think there's been more questions than there have been answers. We know that the government spent four point six million dollars on the scheme, and they've appointed a board who had been working to roll out this scheme for years, and the chief Executive, at her own admission, had said that the scheme was ready to go. She hadn't been consulted on the scrapping of the scheme, neither had the board. So at the end of the day, I think that the public deserved to know exactly what's happened. And if the Minister hasn't consulted her own chief executive, all the board, who has she consulted or is it the government's position that a brand new MP's made the decision to scrap a four point six million dollar scheme at the recommendation of a coronal inquest three months into a roll by ourself. Because if that's the case, it's pret any extraordinary.
01:12:59
Speaker 6: So who would parliamentary inquiry of this nature talk to about it?
01:13:04
Speaker 26: At the end of the day. That would be up to the committee. But what would typically happen is you'd open up the ability for stakeholders, the chief Executive, the department to all come in and have public hearings. And I think that's what's really important here is there hasn't been transparency about why the government has decided to scrap this scheme. They've said that it's because of cost of living pressures and they didn't want to add additional cost impost on social workers. But we've heard from the Chief Executive that the Minister hadn't asked for any cost of living measures or relief prior to scrapping this scheme, and we've also heard that the finalized fee for registration also hadn't been landed on. So again, more questions than answers. But what's really important here is that there is transparency around why this scheme has been scrapped.
01:13:57
Speaker 6: My intel is it was within labor that there was labor unions. That is, there was a bit of a fight back from the unions to say, well, we don't want this. Does a parliamentary inquiry of this nature have the power to talk to the unions about it or would they be excluded?
01:14:16
Speaker 26: The unions can absolutely come forward and speak to the committee, and I would encourage them to. At the end of the day, what we're talking about here is a recommendation from a coronial inquest, and if the governments scraped this game because of union politics, that's going to be pretty disappointing.
01:14:32
Speaker 1: At the end of the day.
01:14:34
Speaker 26: The Coronial in Quest, of course, was about the death of little Chloe Valentine. We're dealing with our states most vulnerable. This has to be above politics and it's pretty disgraceful if that's the justification and they're not being transparent about that.
01:14:47
Speaker 7: All right, Well, we'll see how it goes. Laura Henderson, thanks for your time this morning.
01:14:51
Speaker 26: Thank you very much.
01:14:56
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's interesting that bit of info came to me surprise. Labor unions aren't happy with a new scheme that means social workers have to register. And yes it would have been a cost impost on social workers, but the cost hadn't even been determined yet.
01:15:10
Speaker 5: Well and look as the point Laura makes, wasn't exactly like this was a new revenue stream. This was a coronial inquest was the origin of all this because of the Chloe Valentine case trying to prevent that happening Again, it's not like it was, you know, a new levy on road use or something, or rather, so much.
01:15:30
Speaker 7: Work had been done on it.
01:15:30
Speaker 6: An entire board had been four point six million dollars had been spent on it. Everything was ready to go, everyone was ready to go, and then at the last minute, we're not doing it.
01:15:39
Speaker 5: Yeah, staggering. Probably it does deserve an inquiring All right, let's let's give away a roll show family pass. How we eight double two three double o double as the numb But we got some excellent text through from some parents, maybe grandparents. They didn't identify themselves, but certainly positive family members who have had ideas for easy bookweek costumes. Everyone's busy, low stress. Yep. You know, if someone there was a really good text, I think it was. It was Rustle earlier. Maybe I can't remember the name from someone who said, look, this doesn't need to be a competition every year. A man who has the most spare time and the extra money to be able to put together the most detailed or wonderful things. It's about kids getting into reading at the end of the day and enjoying books and being able to celebrate the characters and the books they love. Let's not make it some kind of arms race. Okay, let's pair it back a bit, so we thought in this segment with our commitment to making your life easier. Eight double two to three double o double Oh. Let us know what's an easy book week costume easy simple, tell us.
01:16:40
Speaker 6: The character, how they dress up, what are they inspired by? What book we'd love to hear from you?
01:16:45
Speaker 7: And we've got raw show tickets to.
01:16:46
Speaker 5: Give out at the best someone is going to win a Royal Show family pass.

Speaker 25: She's beautiful.
01:19:26
Speaker 5: Yes, by there they've got we've got an old situation of kids in the car this morning. This is great, this is excellent. I was worried, Jesse. He was going to say he's going to paint paint some of their child silver because I think that famously didn't go so well during the filming of A Wizard of Oz. Andrew and Morfatville, good morning.
01:19:44
Speaker 11: Good morning.
01:19:46
Speaker 5: What's your easy book week costume?

01:20:30
Speaker 2: Yes, I haven't got Kasper the friendly goes put on a sheet, cut out the eyes and you've got Casper the Friendly goes.
01:20:35
Speaker 5: Job done early night, early night for mom before book week definitely, every north Ivor good.
01:20:43
Speaker 27: Morning, oh yes, good morning, and the schoolmate great nephew goes do they have to take the book with him? So I've got a photo of him with the book. The book is called Chip. It's a sea goal, yeah, Chip the seagull, and he loves he's a ballet, I think. But he loves this book and it was so easy, like he borrowed He's cousins orange tights for the leagues. They've got a white shorts, white t shirt and a white cap and then his mother put a beak on the end of the peak of the cap.
01:21:23
Speaker 7: Perfect.
01:21:24
Speaker 5: That's that's brilliant. A thank you, That's exactly what we're looking for. Eight double two three double a double easy bookweek costumes for the Royal Show Family past this morning, and I loved.
01:21:34
Speaker 7: The suggestion from the school that they have to take the book with them.
01:21:37
Speaker 5: I think that's becoming more and more common.
01:21:39
Speaker 7: Good because then that removes the whole well, because no one's got Donald Trump's book sitting there.
01:21:44
Speaker 5: No, what are you suggesting that someone's going to go as Donald Trump?
01:21:47
Speaker 7: Well, it wasn't that the thing.
01:21:48
Speaker 6: Didn't we say that this morning that you can't shouldn't dress up as Donald Trump?
01:21:52
Speaker 5: My child is going as Donald Trump? From art of the Deal, Lindsey and Clarence Gardens, Good.
01:21:57
Speaker 25: Boy, good morning.
01:22:00
Speaker 9: I was thinking the Mister Men and little Miss they're quite easy, so I was thinking, mister Bump, just wrap some bandages around it.
01:22:09
Speaker 5: Mister Bump love the Mister Men books. Yeah, mister Bump works the best. Mary in theban and good morning.
01:22:16
Speaker 27: Good morning, boys and girls.
01:22:18
Speaker 1: How are you well?
01:22:19
Speaker 27: Well, Mary, I'm going as myself because there's so many different books with Mary on me, so I'm gonna.
01:22:25
Speaker 24: Though with myself.
01:22:26
Speaker 5: Absolutely. Whe Have you got a favorite Mary?
01:22:29
Speaker 8: Oh?
01:22:30
Speaker 27: The first one that comes to mind is Mary Poppins.
01:22:33
Speaker 5: Mary Problems is a good one.
01:22:34
Speaker 7: I thought you were going to say the Bible.
01:22:35
Speaker 5: Then yes, that's yeah. You could go as Mary the Mother of God too, I guess Michelle nor good morning, good morning.
01:22:49
Speaker 9: I'm going to suggest Billy the Punk. It's a beautiful little Australian children's picture books and the main character, Billy sees a group of punks and he chose to dress like a punk. And it's so simple. Just a bit of gel in the head to spike it up, some big silver nappy pins on the T shirt and you're done.
01:23:09
Speaker 7: Perfect.
01:23:10
Speaker 5: Believe that punk.
01:23:11
Speaker 14: Good story.
01:23:12
Speaker 7: That's great.
01:23:12
Speaker 5: That's good, thank you. We might take two more. Steven South, Plimpton, Good morning, morning.
01:23:18
Speaker 19: Guys, going good Steve.
01:23:21
Speaker 24: Last year, my one of my lads is into skateboarding and there's a character called skater Boy, so we literally just put him in normal clothes and the film at kneepads on the skateboarder were off.
01:23:32
Speaker 5: That's excellent.
01:23:32
Speaker 7: And you didn't have to drive him to school either. You could skate there.
01:23:36
Speaker 18: Oh it's a bit far for him, but.
01:23:39
Speaker 5: No, thank you, Steve. Julian, Fairview Park, good morning.
01:23:44
Speaker 1: Hello, good morning. And my granddaughter's school of half dressed up in the book they're reading at the moment, and one of my granddaughters is reading a book on broccoli, so she's got to go to broccoli.
01:23:55
Speaker 12: Amazing.
01:23:56
Speaker 5: Love this stray and the short straw. Isn't it just so happy to be reading the broccoli book this week?
01:24:01
Speaker 10: I know that sad.
01:24:03
Speaker 5: That's great.
01:24:04
Speaker 18: I love that.
01:24:05
Speaker 7: That's an opportunity to get creative.
01:24:08
Speaker 5: How do you even begin with making someone look like broccoli? Mind boggles?
01:24:12
Speaker 7: Teasing the hair.
01:24:12
Speaker 5: I'd start my teasing the hair, Matt and more for Vile. Good morning, Hi.
01:24:17
Speaker 24: Guys, how are you we will, Matt, that's good. I personal experience. Mum was pretty thirsty back in the day, so she sent me as Pinocchio with a ice cream cone with an elastic band on it.
01:24:30
Speaker 5: Ah, that's that's a great idea.
01:24:33
Speaker 24: But the only problem was that he disappeared by lunch.
01:24:36
Speaker 5: So yeah, you don't have to get through the startup book Week. You're just there for the parade. Exactly right, Donna with the last one week day. Good morning Donna. Hello, yes there, Yeah, you got an easy one for us, Donna.
01:24:52
Speaker 21: My grandson wanted to go as the port Adelaide Connor Roishi, so there wasn't a He didn't find a book, so he made his own book and.
01:24:58
Speaker 5: Took it with so he authored an original work on Connors.
01:25:03
Speaker 6: I'm disqualifying him, sorry, Donnay.
01:25:09
Speaker 5: He is now he has a book Week costume and he's also the official first biographer of Gonna raising. If you want to encourage book reading, book writing is I guess part of the issue as well.
01:25:21
Speaker 7: Look for creativity.
01:25:22
Speaker 5: Yes, thank you, Donna. Who wins the role show family past?
01:25:27
Speaker 7: That's hard.
01:25:29
Speaker 6: I think Peter and Myland you can always win me over with the kids in the car Ye.
01:25:33
Speaker 5: Peter and Myland. Congratulations to you. You have the Role Show Family Class coming at your way. You can still get your Role Show passes at the Wonderful Drake's Supermarkets or by simply heading to the show dot com dot au.
01:25:50
Speaker 3: Knockdown Bill two with Metro Homes, Sell one and move on, keep the other as an investment.
01:25:56
Speaker 12: Metro Homes they do it all for you.
01:25:58
Speaker 4: All goods with Daisy Lee. This is five double a Breakfast.
01:26:05
Speaker 5: Twenty nine breaking news in South Australia. This morning five new suspected h five bird flu events in South Australia, including a long nosed first seal at the Page's Conservation Park, making it the second seal to have contracted bird flu and it represents obviously significantly transmission between birds and mammals now as well. The other suspected events included a greater crested turn at Osborne, so that's considered a metropolitan case, two turns at the Limestone Coast and a invated another one a white fronted turn on the Limestone Coast at Carpenter Rocks as well. So this is progressing largely as predicted, albeit into the seal population now has people in the wildlife sector really concerned about the scale of devastation that this could mean. There are ten thousand mature adults on ki in the West Coast in that terms of that sea lion population. If it gets into our sea lions, the Invasive Species Council told the Advertiser this morning, it could become an extinction level catastrophe. Dr Skyfreuan is the chief veteran officer at PERSA and joins us now. Dr Frewen, good morning to you.
01:27:21
Speaker 7: Do we have you there?
01:27:24
Speaker 18: Yeah?
01:27:26
Speaker 5: Sorry, you just dropped out for a moment there. I think we've got you back. Now, let's talk first about this transmission from bird to mammal. Is it notable that seals are the first too have experienced this? And are there any other mammalion species that you have concerns about?
01:27:45
Speaker 21: Yes, I certainly always con.
01:27:52
Speaker 12: Sky.
01:27:53
Speaker 6: We've got a terrible phone line there. We might throw you back to Jess and get him to check the line there, because it is really important that we talk about about this, and we're getting questions from listeners as well, asking us, all right, what is the risk for household pets?
01:28:08
Speaker 7: Do we need to bring water bowls inside?
01:28:11
Speaker 6: Is this an issue that could reach your backyard instead of your backyard being the beach in the coastline of the state.
01:28:17
Speaker 5: Absolutely. Well, I think it's one of the first questions we asked when bird flu was at that point not hypothetic, good, it was something we was threatening. You know, there's this group of mammals that are pretty concerned about it too that right now listening to and speaking on the radio. Is it a risk to human beings at some point in time too if it's made that if it's made that leap. So there's lots to get into with doctor Freud. Who I think now we might just have on a better line, doctor Frud, Have we got you there?
01:28:45
Speaker 21: Yes, I'm here.
01:28:47
Speaker 5: Sorry. Now you were talking about the significance of seals being first, whether that was anticipated, and what it might mean for other mammals.
01:28:55
Speaker 21: Yeah, so we've seen that this strain that we've got of this third flu in Australia is the same strain that was found down in the Antarctic region, and unfortunately, we did see really significant mortalities in seals down in that region, not long those fair seals, but they're all related, obviously, they're all from the same family, and so we need to expect that seals and sea lions here in Australia we're at risk if it ever reached our shores for a couple of reasons, the main one being that they share the environments with these birds that are infected and us spreading it between birds. So as seals and sea lions are obviously not just in the sea, but when they come out on land, they're generally found either around the coast or on those rocky outcrops and offshore islands, which is exactly the same environments that these wild seabirds are being found out. So there's likely very high viral loads there, particularly in our sort of southeast Flurio and Chi regions where we're seeing the most bird cases. So unfortunately it's not an unexpected development, but certainly an unwelcome one.
01:29:56
Speaker 6: So does that mean we should just be bracing for losing that population of seals in South Australia?
01:30:05
Speaker 21: So what we're still waiting full analysis on the samples that we have from these two seals to date, and look, we don't have any evidence from our surveillance, either through the hotline or aerial surveillance that was conducted last week that there's really significant numbers of mortalities in seals at this point in time. Unfortunately, I think what that means is we've picked this up early, and I do think we need to expect that there will be more. I don't know how quickly it will spread. What we do have in our favor is that this is a virus that spreads very well between birds. It does not spread well between mammals, So the mammals are really at risk from catching it from the birds directly or from the contaminated environment. So I mean that's our one sort of hope I guess with this is that if once it gets into the seals, I guess it doesn't necessarily mean it's going to spread seal to seal to seal, But I guess, like I said, because they're sharing those environments that are contaminated, we can expect there will be more.
01:31:02
Speaker 5: I understand some sort of seal vaccine trial going on in Hawaii. Is that progressing at a rate that might help us in Australia or is that unfortunately, we're going to take too long to help us out here.
01:31:14
Speaker 21: Look, we are doing whatever we can to get access to a vaccine, and certainly talking to those researchers in the US, as well as working with our federal counterparts to get access to that vaccine. So everyone who's involved in those efforts have been incredibly helpful and supportive. But there are a number of processes we need to go through to just get access to the vaccine, but also to design a vaccination program that's safe and actually feasible. Obviously, vaccinating wild animals is not simple undertaking, but that's what we're working towards.
01:31:46
Speaker 6: We have a text here from Anthony who wants to know what the legitimate threat is to household pets like dogs with birds constantly in the yard drinking out of water bowls and stuff like that, He says, is there going to be a real threat to our dogs?
01:32:01
Speaker 13: Yeah.
01:32:01
Speaker 21: So, mammals in general, including dogs, obviously don't catch birds flu easily. And the way that they do catch birds flu is by getting quite high levels of virus, and the best way to do that is being around six and dead birds in particular. But you know sickle dead animals that are infected. So as long as you're keeping your dog away from sickle dead wildlife, there's some really simple measures just keeping your dogs on leaves if you're out in seat of wild in the wilderness, in the bush, on the beach, where you might be coming across wild birds, and that's good just not for your dog as well, but also keeps your dog away from birds that where they might be bothering them. Around the home, keeping water bowls clean away from areas where wild birds could be accessing them, relatively simple measures to protect your.
01:32:48
Speaker 5: Dogs should people who have bird baths and things at home bird feeders reconsider filling those up at the moment.
01:32:56
Speaker 21: Obviously, each to their own, but again there's some relatively simple measures you can do if you want to continue. Do you have a bird bath in your backyard, if you have pet birds or other pets at home, just restricting their access to it, because obviously you've got the bird bath there and you'd expect wild birds to be using it. And then if you are cleaning it out, just to practice some good hygiene yourself so that you're not accidentally splashing any of that water into your eyes or mouth and washing your hands after you've been cleaning it out, so keep that water clean. But you can still continue to have bird baths.
01:33:26
Speaker 7: Yeah, what's a.
01:33:26
Speaker 6: Good tip hadn't even thought about it from that perspective. All right, Dr sky thru and thanks for your time this morning. The Chief thattory Officer at PERSA, who.
01:33:35
Speaker 5: I spect I suspect will be speaking to again before this is all said and done. Interesting to note there's the degree of optimism, optimism at least not silver line the end of the world extinction level event level thinking for seals when they aren't going to get it. They don't typically get it sealed to seal from each other get it because of the birds that are there.
01:34:02
Speaker 6: So yeah, it's just not I said it earlier, but it just doesn't seem to be a good time for nature based tourism at the moment after the algal bloom. You know, it's not good for fish oos, it's not good for obviously their population now seals penguin was also detected Kangaroo Island, a little penguin off to Estre's Bay.
01:34:23
Speaker 5: Well, don't we know in the past and Australia, you take one little bit out of the ecosystem, or you introduce one thing like a cane toat or whatnot, and we've learnt how devastating that can be. What will the consequences be five years, ten years, twenty years from now of as you say, simultaneous events. Where one has we spoke about cuttlefish this morning, the population is declined by ninety seven percent, almost doesn't exist, so they're out of the ecosystem. How many fish are in the ecosystem? What happens when you take birds out as well? What does this all begin to look like, how does it recover? And is it the end of an era? It does feel very dramatic. What's I think at the moment? There are all questions to which we were awaiting answers. Hopefully they're really boring answers, and it turns out populations bounce back and nature's very resilient. But unfortunately we're about to find out.
01:35:12
Speaker 3: Let's check traffic, knockdown bill two with metro homes, sell one and move on, keep the other as an investment.
01:35:20
Speaker 12: Metro Homes, they do it all for you.
01:35:22
Speaker 4: Will Goodings with Stacy Lee. This is five double a breakfast.
01:35:29
Speaker 5: Sip when it's two nine, lots of rain on the wave and hasn't already arrived where you are over the course of the next forty eight hours. So we thought we'd better check in with Casey Trure from seven US for a bit of a deep dive forecast on the hours or maybe days ahead. Casey, how long do we expect this rain to stick around?
01:35:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, good morning guys. To be honest, for the most part, it is the next twenty four hours we're going to see the bulk of this system. If anyone's available to jump on and look at the radar, you'll see a massive, some really healthy sort of bands coming through across the state. Yeah, it's really got to impact pretty much broad areas right across the state for the next twenty four hours of certainly the city for the next twenty four hours. So we're not expecting, you know, any potentially massive downpause. Hopefully there won't be any flash flooding as a result.
01:36:15
Speaker 13: It would be sort of bit.
01:36:16
Speaker 2: Steady in nature, but we could see you know, up to thirty millimeters today and another you know, five to ten millimeters tomorrow as well. So yeah, pretty substantial twenty four hours ahead.
01:36:27
Speaker 6: Okay, So if you're planning an afternoon walk like me, probably not likely, Casey.
01:36:34
Speaker 2: Yes, I woke up this morning with the plan to walk the dog and the shower is just kicked off, and I'm like, damn it, I've missed my window. So the four Dog's going to be inside today. But yeah, look, yeah, soggy day, but it could be a chance for thunderstorms and severe rainfall up in the northern parts of the state. That's unlikely further south. But yeah, certainly plenty of it to come, and it's only set to ramp up as the day goes on.
01:37:00
Speaker 7: Getting us in the city.
01:37:01
Speaker 6: Is it getting to the parts of our regions that we need.
01:37:04
Speaker 2: It to get to, Oh, big time. I mean, our regions have had a really healthy twenty twenty six so far. But already Minipater on the EPs recorded sixteen millimeters ten milimeters in Port Lincoln nine at Cleave, and that's the taste of what's to come, obviously, you know, that's what's already fallen over there, and it's heading our way as well. So porta Guss has even had six millimeters so far, And yeah, this is just going to be a slow moving system that will reach pretty much every corner of the state.
01:37:31
Speaker 26: Today.
01:37:32
Speaker 5: It does look amazing when you look at it on the on the live stream, and it will look incredible with your pictures tonight on the News at seven on seven at six cases So we'll catch you a little bit.
01:37:42
Speaker 8: Later, beauty.
01:37:43
Speaker 5: Thanks guys, Casey Dlaw from seven News. So stay dry. I cancel your walks. Dogs are going to have to just make do in the backyard today.
01:37:50
Speaker 7: I think that'll be fine.
01:37:51
Speaker 5: That'll be fine. Four to nine, let's have a look at the fuel situation. Thanks to the RAA. It's better to be a member with RAA Road Service. So to you what you know what your car to break down? You're battery not to start on the side of the road today. Oh no, those are guys. You see them in a storm like this.
01:38:05
Speaker 6: You think, oh, my goodness, doing God's work filling up my car because I forgot to put the petrol in myself.
01:38:14
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think of everyone who's got to sit at the outside today working where you are, whatever you're doing, as Stacey says, you are all doing God's work. Petrol wise unlettered LeRoy's Mono Powra Main North Road dollar ninety one point five. The Liberty Seaford Main South Road is at a dollar ninety three point five cheap one two at also on South Road. Actually South Road's is pretty good today. The United at Melrose Park's pretty good as well. That two dollar ninety three point five. And if you look at a cheap diesel you will find at the ampole holden Hill Northeast Road total is thirty five and the BP Parafield Garden Salisbury Highway Toddal is thirty seven point nine. Try and stay dry. We'll catch you tomorrow morning from six bouncing off.
01:39:05
Speaker 24: It's been a fun morning.
01:39:07
Speaker 18: I'm thoroughly enjoying listening to you.
01:39:09
Speaker 3: This is three, This is three.
