00:00:00
Speaker 1: I've double a summer breakfast, Tom Wren and Jane Robren.
00:00:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, good morning, and welcome to five double a breakfast. It is Monday to sixteenth of December. It is eight minutes past six. It is Jade Robren and Tom Wren. And I'll tell you what it is summer breakfast, because right now you'd be forgiven for sweltering something like thirty four degrees. Jade, good morning to you. Great to see your smiling face again, and we're going to be doing it all week.
00:00:26
Speaker 3: Indeed we are. Good morning Tommy.
00:00:28
Speaker 4: When I walked out of the house this morning, you're hit by that wave of heat. Jumped in the car and it was a balmie. Thirty four degrees.
00:00:36
Speaker 3: I loved.
00:00:37
Speaker 4: I loved pants saying in the news just them there'll be a late cool change in thirty eight degrees. Hey, yo, YoY, summer has landed. But I'll take this weather as opposed to this time last year when it was raining. So we would love to hear from you guys. How have you kept call over the weekend. I literally laid on the couch all day yesterday. I had a bucket next to me with a flannel and I just patted myself down and I binged a Netflix show. That was the only thing you could do yesterday.
00:01:04
Speaker 2: It was that kind of weather there was, and I was watching the cricket and enjoyed it. Travis Head dominating. We'll talk about that, yes, a little bit later. But then I was at the Carrols last night at Central Galley City Park. Huge turnout in the end, it was fractionally cooler than I think we thought it was going to be, so they ended up getting about twenty thousand people there. So it was a great night.
00:01:23
Speaker 3: But that's brilliant.
00:01:24
Speaker 2: It was hot.
00:01:25
Speaker 3: What's your favorite Christmas Carol?
00:01:29
Speaker 2: Felis Navidad? Is that?
00:01:30
Speaker 3: Yeah?
00:01:32
Speaker 4: That was the time I said last week on the show, and I was talking to the boys that my favorite Carol was Santa Baby, but that's.
00:01:37
Speaker 3: More of a Christmas song.
00:01:39
Speaker 2: Oh okay, so Carol. Yeah, are you a Christmas person? A lot of people aren't.
00:01:43
Speaker 5: Yes.
00:01:44
Speaker 3: Yes.
00:01:45
Speaker 4: I start playing my Christmas carols as of November and drive my family absolutely round the Twist. But I've eased off this year because you know, you jump onto Spotify and you start playing the Christmas carol list, but then they'll throw in thein Bieber and then you know all these fancy new kids that are bringing out a Christmas.
00:02:04
Speaker 2: Carriag your old school.
00:02:05
Speaker 4: I'm massively old school. Give me being Crosby any day, any day.
00:02:10
Speaker 3: But no, And you had a couple of Christmas party hostings. Tell us about this. This is a good party, this is a good idea.
00:02:16
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, so Friday and Saturday night, so I was at the convention Center. It was enchanted Christmas and it's basically a lot of businesses. Even people do it socially, I guess for those that don't really know, perhaps you know where to go or what to do, and they end up just going to the convention center. So there was twelve hundred people on Friday night, more than two thousand people there on Saturday night.
00:02:37
Speaker 3: So so what all businesses that?
00:02:39
Speaker 4: Or maybe you're employed by yourself, a self employed person, you don't know how you don't know what to do for Christmas? You can buy a ticket and go to.
00:02:45
Speaker 2: This, go to the convention center and just have a you know, all the bands are laid out for you. I was your MC not too much of Me, which was nice, and you throw it to just different bands and lots of dancing got pretty loose on the Saturday night.
00:02:57
Speaker 3: You know what I'm getting vibes of. I movie offers Christmas party.
00:03:02
Speaker 4: Yes, we're just starring Jennifer Aniston, and that gets very loose. Yeah, I'm getting signs of that.
00:03:07
Speaker 2: Yeah. And it was it was Christmas. People were partying, so good vibes. But Saturday night was a good part. Friday night was too. But two thousand people all out for a good time, a lot of people meeting people for the first time.
00:03:19
Speaker 4: There's a good vibe around town. Everyone's out and about. After the Test cricket, it kicks it off. We obviously had our Christmas party on the Test weekend and ever since it's been party after party, Ela.
00:03:31
Speaker 3: It's alive. It's such a good feeling out there.
00:03:33
Speaker 2: And it's a good point you make about the weather. I reckon this time last year it was so mild and wet, whereas this year it has been hot, really hot, maybe a bit too far and expact to the.
00:03:43
Speaker 4: Days were growing up as a kid, where it was it was it was boiling hot. But like those days, But can you send us some text messages on the text line? Oh double four eight eight thirteen ninety five, we've got a couple coming in. Adam and Sue have messaged in thirty five degrees here in Lockleigh right now. It's honestly like a tinderbox. And that's honestly what it felt like walking out of the house.
00:04:04
Speaker 3: And I was like, whoa, that's like a pizza oven. It hits you like a ton of bricks.
00:04:08
Speaker 4: Yeah, call in eight double two three, double o double.
00:04:11
Speaker 3: Oh how did you keep call over the weekend?
00:04:13
Speaker 4: Lamroue and Moomba are going to hit forty five degrees today.
00:04:18
Speaker 2: No, thanks, it's going to be warm. Yeah, it would have been an uncomfortable sleep if you're tossing and turning and kicking the sheets off. It's with good reason. Jay, We've got a big show on today too. There's a plenty coming up on the program.
00:04:29
Speaker 3: Yeah we do.
00:04:30
Speaker 4: School leavers are getting their exams online from eight thirty this morning. Good luck to everybody. And can I just say I was so crap at school. I really didn't do very well.
00:04:40
Speaker 3: No I was, No, I really really was. Yes, I hated school. And it's okay.
00:04:45
Speaker 4: It just if you don't get what you are thinking you're gonna get, it's okay. There's other avenues, there's other ways, And I just I feel for school levers at this time because they put so much stress. So sometimes I think us parents put a lot of stress on kids as well, that there's other avenues and you know, there's other ways, So don't beat yourself up if you don't get what you did planned on getting.
00:05:10
Speaker 3: But we would also.
00:05:11
Speaker 4: Love to hear from any parents out there and kids after eight thirty, once you've clicked on and you've got your results or videos. That's what I also love that, you know, everyone starts putting, you know, their social media posts up and it's a happy time.
00:05:24
Speaker 3: It's exciting time.
00:05:25
Speaker 2: It is, isn't it. I always old enough that we got ours in the mail, so we didn't get them online, and I was sort of sleeping through my parents wake me up. I was like, leave me alone, and got it in that way. But it is. It's twelve months of hard work or fifteen years of schoolwork, you know, coming to fruition. So good luck to all the year twelves opening up their results today. We're also going to be talking to Andy en Wright, who's the editor of Will's magazine, about the Will's Carabar a year can you guess I'm hopeless with cars.
00:05:54
Speaker 6: Yeah.
00:05:55
Speaker 4: Is it a family car, a little bit of sports car and suv electric? I reckon, I'm going to go. I reckon it could be an electric one this year. Yeah, and I'm not a fan of electric, so.
00:06:09
Speaker 2: Just got a hunch.
00:06:10
Speaker 3: Just got a hunch. Yeah, it's always a family suv ish So I don't know. We'll see, we'll see.
00:06:16
Speaker 4: Another really controversial one we're going to be talking about today. Over the weekend, Melbourne Storm came out and said that they're going to consult with their community about welcome to country and acknowledgment of country. It was first reported that they were going to stop it all together, but they came out and said no, no, pump the brakes, not necessarily. We're just going to consult and perhaps that's where it lands. We're actually going to talk to Randall Ross, he's an indigenous elder up in Queensland, because he actually put a stop to all acknowledgment and welcome to country in his shire because he said enough's enough. They're being overused, people are making money off them and they're an insult to our community.
00:06:57
Speaker 3: So enough's enough, and he wants.
00:06:59
Speaker 4: To see it stopped not everywhere, but in certain places at certain times, certain sporting events. Do you agree with that? Is there an overkill of welcome and acknowledgment to country? Eight double two to three double double ow. And we're gonna be talking pandas and elephants.
00:07:17
Speaker 3: We've lots of cute little fairy friends coming our way.
00:07:21
Speaker 2: We've got it all covered this morning, don't we We're everywhere cannot wait for it. It's a quarter past six here on five double A breakfast. News headlines are coming up next. We'll have all the latest sporting stories as well. We're up and about here on five double A Breakfast. Jade Robren and Tom Wren with.

00:07:46
Speaker 4: Most definitely including extreme fire danger warnings all around our city and our beautiful state today. Call in eight double two to three double O double ow. How are you keeping? Call in your neck of the woods. Sue messaged us, saying, morning five. Because I just put the sprinkler on between my two averaries. Very happy birds having showers, great to hear you both on. Hello, so great to have you on. I pot my sprinklers on in the backyard last night and I had reckon. I had about four maggies flying and they did a little bit of a happy dance in the backyard.
00:08:15
Speaker 3: They were like, hall loujyah.
00:08:17
Speaker 2: We've got magpies at our place. We took over a deceased to stay, a beautiful old guy who was in his nineties, and I reckon, he used to feed the magpie. So we get a lot of them. And I love it when they roam around. We love the magpie being about. It's so cool.
00:08:31
Speaker 4: So they're a lover of you because if they were swooping the back of your hair, it means that you're not.
00:08:36
Speaker 2: So I think they've got good memories too.
00:08:37
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, so absolute. They're very very smart.
00:08:41
Speaker 4: Yeah they're good. They remember love the maggies. Let's get today's headlines. A group of seven tourists have reportedly been hospitalized after a suspected alcohol poisoning in Fiji. Four of them are Australian tourists. Local media is reporting seven guests presented to hospital with nausea, vomiting, and neurological SIPs simpt after consuming a cocktail at a resort on the Coral coast. The country's Minister of hell says the affected patients age between eighteen to fifty six years.
00:09:11
Speaker 2: So they're talking.
00:09:12
Speaker 4: About methanol again here. So very similar to our story that we've been talking about in Thailand where sadly those two Victorian.
00:09:19
Speaker 3: Girls lost their lives.
00:09:21
Speaker 4: I've holidayed in Bali many times and there's a drink there called a rack. It's their local drink, and I'll never forget this. Ben and I were touring one time, this is pre kids up in the hills, and he poured us a shot and I smelled it. I was sober, and so you can, if you're sober and you just at a restaurant, smell this stuff a mile away. But I often think if you're in a party environment, you've had a few drinks already, it's loud, the smell of alcohol. You're not picking up on this. And I swear to this day if me and him had had that.
00:09:58
Speaker 3: We would have ended up in hospital.
00:10:00
Speaker 4: It is lethal, this stuff, and you don't know what's in it, and so you've just got to be so careful.
00:10:06
Speaker 2: It's scary isn't it true. Yeah, you've just got to have your wits about you and you know, particularly when you're in a foreign country.
00:10:12
Speaker 7: Mm hmm.
00:10:13
Speaker 2: Just got to be so careful. We've seen it twice down.
00:10:15
Speaker 3: That's tree it out of a bottle or drink it out of a can.
00:10:18
Speaker 7: Yep.
00:10:18
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
00:10:19
Speaker 4: A woman taken hostage during the twenty fourteen Link Cafe siege says everybody carries memories about the day. It's been a decade since eighteen people were hurled inside the cafe by gunman Man Monis in Sydney's CBD Cafe manager Tory Johnson and mother and barrister Katrina Dawson were killed. Survivor Luise Hope sustained shrapnel wounds to her foot in abdomen when police stormed the building. She says the day left a chilling scar on the city.
00:10:45
Speaker 8: I always ask people where they were that day, and invariably everyone can tell me where they were, and it happened to all of us.
00:10:53
Speaker 4: Actually, Irish pubs in the New United Kingdom are running out of Guinness after limits were imposed on supply ahead of Christmas. The company capped the amount pubs can buy of the drink because of exceptional customer demand from customers.
00:11:07
Speaker 3: The surgeon.
00:11:08
Speaker 4: Guinness popularity is due to gen Z jen Z, who often post pictures of the iconic pint on social media due to its esthetic appeals.
00:11:17
Speaker 2: Fat I've had a couple of Guinness when I went traveling to Europe. That was twenty years ago. Now remember having a couple and it was like eating a meal. Oh yeah, they're so thick, and you know it takes an effort to drink one. We've got a.
00:11:30
Speaker 3: Couple of the blackcerns in our fridge. Ben loves one.
00:11:33
Speaker 4: Really cool, yes, and I actually like pouring them. You pour it and it comes to a little marble in the can and.
00:11:40
Speaker 3: The big head on it. But it is yeah, it feel very filming.
00:11:44
Speaker 2: You know you've had one when you've drunk one.
00:11:46
Speaker 4: But how do you have a pub with no beer? How do you run out of Guinness? That's un Australian it' sun United Kingdom tellstre is donating one dollar the Kids Helpline for every call mate to Santa from payphones today. Close to eighth calls were made to Kids Helpline last December two hundred. On Christmas Day, the Helpline's chief Executive Tracy Adams says it's an important initiative.
00:12:09
Speaker 6: Well, it's great you can go along to the telstraphone box and simphony deal hash forty six forty six, forty six and make that all important call to Staner and as part of that one dollar will get donated to Kids' helpline.
00:12:23
Speaker 4: New data reveals a federal budget will be in the red as the Australian economy is affected by the slowdown in China. Figures to be released in Wednesday's midyear budget update will show mining revenue as expected to drop by one hundred billion dollars over the next four years. The downgrade means the federal government will collect less in company tax receipts, pushing the budget into deficits. A century's old river redgum is on the decline in Clarence Park, with the community fearing for its health and council now investigating. The iconic tree on Overbreed Drive was planted more than two hundred years ago, but the local count is investigating the vegetation along the upper branch that's becoming sparser. Locals don't want the tree cut down and hope the council can protect it. This thing is massive.
00:13:11
Speaker 3: Have you seen it smack bang in the middle of the street.
00:13:14
Speaker 4: It is beautiful, but yeah, these things are very dangerous. I've been in the backyard before with a gum and at any minute you can hear almost like an explosion and boom those the branches drop.
00:13:26
Speaker 3: So they can be quite dangerous.
00:13:27
Speaker 2: Well, particularly in the heat, the extreme heat. They get under a lot of stress, and you know they are. My parents have got some huge gums in their backyard and I think they're now. They can't do anything with them because they're protected protected. So yeah, they are potentially though very dangerous. You've got to keep an eye on them.
00:13:44
Speaker 4: Sydney is now the home of the first clouded leopard cub born in Australia. There are just ten thousand clouded leopards remaining in the wild. The Wildcat Conservation Centers Ben Brutton says it won't be long before the public can come and see her.
00:13:58
Speaker 9: It's still now that hospital moment because she's still quite small. But I hoping by the end of January, remember the public when they come out to visit the center'll be able to see her in our little cub nursery and Panda watch.
00:14:10
Speaker 2: It's pandemonium.
00:14:11
Speaker 4: We got the two pandas. They touched down over the weekend here in Adelaide. They're heading into quarantine. I want to ask if Will Goodings was here, he'd be rolling his eyes right now because he's so over the pandas. He doesn't get into them at all. Which whenever something on Instagram pops off about cute and cuddly pandas, I just I just attach his name to it, Little Pope poke to Bear. I'm going to turn him one day. He's going to love these pandas well.
00:14:39
Speaker 2: Maybe these ones will be a bit more active in inverted comments than wang wing and thirty.
00:14:44
Speaker 4: Little little pitter patter of panda feet, that's hoping. Is anyone excited out there? Does anyone give two rats about these pandas coming? Because I know the media are going crazy over them. Eight double two three double oh double low? Does anyone care?
00:14:59
Speaker 2: And I I was speaking it's a good question. I was speaking to someone a few people down at zoo about it. I think they basically have a twenty four hour breeding window.
00:15:06
Speaker 10: For the year.
00:15:07
Speaker 3: It's teeny tiny.
00:15:08
Speaker 2: It's so difficult to get everything all the starts to aligns.
00:15:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, and she might have a headache that morning.
00:15:13
Speaker 2: That's right, you know. Yeah, or he you know, he's a bit too tired, wants to just have a sleep, that's right, you know, could.
00:15:18
Speaker 4: Have stayed up too late watching the sport, the cricket, speaking of which I know that two centuries happened.
00:15:24
Speaker 2: Yes, well, we'll get into a sports update right now. Jade all thanks to Glider Old Doors, Colours, custom Design, any house, any style, Gladiol Garard's Doors, Glaterol dot com dot a you. We usually do our winners and losers on a Monday, and we'll start with the cricket because Travis head he is on fire at the moment. He's made three Test centuries in his last six innings. Now I think against India they nickname him. I think Ravi Shastri. See yesterday, Travis headache in India. He's he's dominating first time in his career. He's made back to back centuries in consecutive innings. He's now got nine for his career. Let's have a listen to the moment. He brought it up yesterday, he'll come back and Chavis had complete another century.
00:16:08
Speaker 3: They make it three.
00:16:11
Speaker 11: One hundred percent box office.
00:16:14
Speaker 4: Chavis had back to back centuries for the first time in his career.
00:16:19
Speaker 2: It's becoming a familiar celebration. Audio there Thanks to seven. Was having a discussion with a few cricket friends yesterday Jade talking about the best ever crickets to come out of this state. I think the Chapel Brothers you have to have up there, Don Bradman, I mean he's the greatest of all time. I think we claim him. I reckon Jason Gillespie two hundred and fifty nine wickets. I think Travis Head right now he's probably of all times. South Australian cricket is Test cricket, he'd be in the top five. What about Buffer where he is there? But I think with all juris and I love Booth, I think he made five Test centuries. I think Trav's gone past.
00:16:55
Speaker 3: He is excellent, isn't he?
00:16:57
Speaker 2: So he's dominating. He's probably one of the best players in the world right now for a new dad.
00:17:02
Speaker 4: I take my hat off to him because I don't know if lack of sleep, I don't know if he's sensational and he seems like a riper blow too.
00:17:11
Speaker 2: He's an absolute champion. I think Jade. Actually, it's funny you mentioned all that three years ago he lost his Cricket Australia contract. I think he came back and players like Steve Smith, Marnus Labashane, for them, their jam is to hit as many cricket balls. If they could hit ten thousand in a day, they would. I think Travis went through that for a while and then went, you know what, that's not me. So he pulled back and he actually says he does better when he's fresh off a break, like when he's spent some time with the kids. Yes, he does the training he needs to, but he's better when he's just you know, not into it as much as perhaps players like them are. So he's more rounded now, he's a chilled, a bit more chilled, and he's in the form of his life. He's thirty one later this month and he's dominating so Australia in a great position.
00:17:55
Speaker 4: Hey, I want to ask you because it was overshadowed somewhat by an on air comment from Fox calling Bumra a primate. On air, it was a bit it's been called a racial slur. She came out and said that he was the MVP most Valuable Primate.
00:18:13
Speaker 3: We've got some audio on it. Let's play it.
00:18:15
Speaker 11: He's the MVP, isn't the most valuable primate?
00:18:19
Speaker 3: So that was issue, go, well, why would you say that?
00:18:23
Speaker 4: I get why she's in hot water because that was completely unnecessary.
00:18:28
Speaker 2: It seems like a strange thing to say.
00:18:29
Speaker 4: Well, I don't know that you can take it any other way than a racial slur, can you. I mean, I don't know if anyone knows that it means something else. I'd like to hear from you, but I'd say she's in quite a bit of trouble.
00:18:42
Speaker 2: So that was on Fox. Fortunately everyone knows what MVP is, most abediable Player. I just leave it at that. So other winners Travis Head, Steve Smith obviously one hundred, which was outstanding best for him and first and I think twenty four innings. Adelaide United. If they win or draw this coming weekend against Sydney, it'll be their best ever start to a season. They are flying at the moment, undefeated so far this season, four nil against Central Coast on the weekend. The Adelaide thirty six is they broke a streak of four straight losses. So that was good. They had to win on the weekend against the New Zealand Breakers. Speaking of the NBL, Bryce Cotton first player and over thirty years I think in the NBL. To score forty points in four straight games, he is just on fire. So keep going Bryce for the Wildcats. The Brisbane weather, that's the only shame with the Test match at the moment, we've got twenty meals I think forecast for today. We lost most of Day one as well, so that's disappointing.
00:19:32
Speaker 4: So how many overs do they have to play before it's I think it's thirteen overs before they've got to give people their money back, don't they.
00:19:39
Speaker 2: Is that right?
00:19:40
Speaker 10: Yeah?
00:19:41
Speaker 2: So yeah, they might not get that many today. And Manchester City another loss in the English Premier League on the weekend. They are nowhere at the moment. They are really struggling. That is it all thanks to gladder Old Garrard's Doors newsroom now will be back after the six thirty.
00:19:54
Speaker 11: News five Double A Summer Breakfast.
00:19:57
Speaker 10: Tom Wren and Jade Robren.
00:20:02
Speaker 2: With you all week here on five Double A Brecky.
00:20:05
Speaker 4: We most certainly will and we've got lots happening on the show today eight thirty year twelve students get their results back. Good luck to each and every one of you out there. We're asking you how are you keeping cool? And what's the temperature in your neck of the woods. We've got a couple of texts coming in Barry Down. Elizabeth says that it is thirty four degrees there. And Andrew's texting because we've been talking about the elephants that are arriving at heading their way to Minato Zoo.
00:20:31
Speaker 3: And also the cute and cuddly little pandas.
00:20:33
Speaker 4: Andrew says, what I like the most about the transportation of the elephant and the pandas is the aircraft that fly them in and out of there. I go down to watch at the airport. There were stacks of people that came in and watched the panthers fly in yesterday.
00:20:47
Speaker 3: It's a big deal.
00:20:47
Speaker 2: People love it, don't they. The other thing too, we were talking about Jade. Just before six thirty. We had our winners and losers, and the big winner sporting wise over the weekend was Travis Head. He's ninth Test century and I talked to you about him perhaps breaking into be our top five South Australian Test cricketer. Of all time, and he's still got a long way to go in his career. But I've got Johnny on the line who wants to talk about best batters from South Australia. Johnny, good morning to you.
00:21:13
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just just not mention David Books in that category.
00:21:18
Speaker 2: Of yeah, yeah, isn't it funny? John? All of our best batters, or a lot of them in the last thirty forty years, aside from the Chapels, Darren Lehman, Wayne Phillips, David Hooks, Travis Head, all lefties, yeah, you know, and all and generally all stroke players. They just look good, the left handers and they make their runs quickly. But you're right, I remember that what thirty four ball century in the Shield Game from David Hooks at Adelaide Oval. He was he was a hell of a player, so good yeah, and and lost far too soon unfortunately.
00:21:56
Speaker 3: And he holds a couple of records.
00:21:58
Speaker 4: Fastest first class history, set the record in nineteen eighty two. He is his batting average tests thirty four point three six, ODI's twenty four point two nine, first Class forty three point nine to nine list A twenty seven point five eight. His highest score in a Test match was one hundred and forty three. He was an absolute gentleman coming through as a young reporter. He was the coach in Victoria and always went out of his way to come over and say, good a Jade, anything you need. I know, young starting out and wrapped his arms around you're just knowing that you know, he knew my folks, he knew that you're from SA. You had that common bond. One of the greatest people have ever had the privilege of working alongside. And I will never ever forget that Dale was in the Melbourne newsroom and we got that phone call and strangely enough a couple of my mum's friends were out with him that night that it happened, and one of the saddest days.
00:23:01
Speaker 2: Just cruel. Yeah, it was two thousand and three oh four, wasn't it so so sad? He was a fantastic broadcaster and also had iconic moments, very funny and five fours in a I reckon in a centenary Test for Australia, which was another massive moment against England back in seventies.
00:23:19
Speaker 4: I want to tell you what he liked. A beer or two. We've been talking about a beer or two. Guinness is running very very dry in the United Kingdom. Dave in Redwood Park calls in, Hello, Dave, do you like a Guinness?
00:23:33
Speaker 12: I don't mind want to sell anyway?
00:23:34
Speaker 7: First thing, first, the nat Why did you have on?
00:23:37
Speaker 13: What did you have on on Stuturday morning?
00:23:39
Speaker 7: Everybody out there Christmas gear on and you and your chinos and playing shirt.
00:23:43
Speaker 2: I know, I know. We played in a Christmas Ambrose golf competition and Dave, you've rightly pointed out everyone got into it. We just rocked up and we were like the Motley Crew. We all had different bits and bobs on, didn't we And not surprisingly we didn't do that.
00:23:56
Speaker 3: Well, hang on a minute, you had pants on?
00:23:59
Speaker 1: No?
00:23:59
Speaker 10: I think?
00:24:00
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, he had ginos and just a plain shirts on. Anyway, the guineas phenomenon, what's happening is there's a thing where you call split the G. So basically your first actual drink, you have to drink the guineas down to the middle of the g. So basically everybody's taking an absolute huge swig of their guineas and trying to called split the G. So that apparently the Guiness family or the Guiness corporation are gonna move the guineas signs further up the glass actually producing glasses with the guineas further up because people are just literally going straight for it. Every I was in I was in the Fox and Perk in the local English bubu at the teacher and there was a group of lads there and they basically they spent all afternoon trying to split the G. You're quite funny watching them.
00:24:52
Speaker 3: And so do they time themselves? Is it the fastest?
00:24:54
Speaker 14: No?
00:24:55
Speaker 7: No, no. So basically it's the first drink that you you have use it to the lip, the.
00:24:59
Speaker 5: G on the glass.
00:25:01
Speaker 2: You've got to get down to it in the first gold. So they're thinking about bringing it up so that people don't drink as much in the first guy.
00:25:07
Speaker 3: And then they're all filming themselves for TikTok, are they Yeah?
00:25:10
Speaker 13: Yeah, and trying to split the G.
00:25:12
Speaker 7: If you now we've talked about it. If your iPhones there, you everything you've turned on, it's a love videos of people trying to split the G.
00:25:21
Speaker 3: Split the G.
00:25:22
Speaker 2: Wow, never heard of that. That's thank you for bringing in and explaining that's great. Thanks for that, Dave, And I'll make sure I'm not wearing Chino's and a shirt, but yeah, split the g.
00:25:31
Speaker 3: Is it too early for us to try and split the GH?
00:25:34
Speaker 2: I think it's too well. We could try after eight thirty. Yeah, maybe after it.
00:25:37
Speaker 3: It'll be midday somewhere.
00:25:39
Speaker 4: An indigenous community in North Queensland Tommy they voted to ban Welcome to Countries on their ancestral land because the ceremonies are embarrassing and insulting. Now Melbourne Storm over the weekend, the rugby league team has taken steps to chat with their community about Welcome to Country. The media reports earlier in the over the weekend said that they were going to ban it can all together. They've come out to just say, hang on a minute, No that's not quite right, but we want to consult our community. We'll certainly be pulling back. Spokesman for the Juror People, Randal Ross, joins us on the line. Now, Randal, thank you very much for joining us. Can you explain firstly in your community why you've decided to welcome band Welcome to Countries?
00:26:22
Speaker 13: Yeah, good morning, everybody, just take there for Yeah. So what we're doing is a part of in the Bertican in North Queensland. Now we have a cultural protocol and everybody knows welcome the country is a part of that cultural protocol and that fits within our law system, which we call mannerisms. And this is where what's happening is that you've got people coming in but aren't actually blood connected to the land, but they're down as preferred supply is for governments and other agencies to perform the welcome the country. And this is where many of the traditional owners feel that this has been their cultural obligations are being ignored, but also it's been breached because people are being paid thousands of dollars to do a smoking ceremony or a welcome the country and they're not even from country.
00:27:26
Speaker 2: Do you think it's reflective of how the community is feeling random? Do you think people in the community and folks that you're talking to feel that where it's being overdone the welcome to country?
00:27:39
Speaker 5: Yeah?
00:27:39
Speaker 13: Well and truly in our community. And that's why I'm only speaking for our community, but I can't talk to either you know about other countries or other nations or tribes, but this isn't ours. Yeah, definitely, and this is where our elders have spoken up and said enough's enough, because they don't realize the cultural harm not only that creating, but also the punishment that can come back and affect them and their families. And this is where elders have stated, look, we need to put a stop to this, you know, and it's only for a period of time until we saw through all of this, and then eventually, like I said, you know, they will look at how to proceed down the track as a part of the proper ceremonies. The other thing is that they haven't banned the acknowledgment and they've confirmed that they welcome acknowledgments because that can be performed by anybody and everybody, but it's not to be for monetary or gifts. You know, that's a process and that should be an obligation, you know, as a part of our law under mannerisms where you know you're paying that respect. It's at least you're still paying that respect the country and their ancestors.
00:28:53
Speaker 4: Randall, there's regular people who perform welcome to country during AFL games. I'm sure you've watched many and there's a you know, quite a considerable amount of times where we have welcome to country. Would they be paid for that, And how does that sit with you knowing that this has been commercialized so much.
00:29:12
Speaker 13: Yeah, look, you know I haven't been in that position, and I can't comment in relation todays, but obviously you know that there's going to be some sort of benefits. But you're right, our welcome the countries has been well and truly commercialized. And this is where you know, once upon a time, even when we cross countries, it's not about payment, you know, so we have a gift system or in place, and you know when people are crossing your countries the other tribes, they would normally present a gift and you would present a gift back. You know, I see a lot of ceremonies and I see, yeah, people are getting paid, but I don't see them returning gifts back, which is a proper cultural obligation, you know, and that's why it can be disturbing. And you know, you wonder why, what, you know, how are they honoring our cultural obligation side of things when we're supposed to give back as well.
00:30:09
Speaker 4: A lot, you know, when you're flying in to you know, on virgin flights and contest flights, so they'll acknowledge the two country and also some meetings. I've been in a lot of work meetings where they'll they'll have a well, you know, welcome or acknowledgment to country, and it seems, you know, that we're doing it a lot, and I feel that it's it's losing its meaning.
00:30:31
Speaker 3: Do you feel that as well?
00:30:34
Speaker 13: Yeah, Look, I've traveled on many planes and many flights. I'm always for work. But look, I have noticed and I've witnessed, you know, many of the hostesses you know, doing a welcome the country. But I don't feel like it's you know, even though they're acknowledging the country, the thing is, you know, they're just reading it out as a part of the process, not understanding what the country is about. Who are they acknowledging, you know, who's on the land where they're coming from. What's the history of that land, you know, So it's just a touchdown wherever they are, but they still have no understanding of that local tribe, you know, and that that can be very disrespectful.
00:31:14
Speaker 3: It's Melbourne Storm.
00:31:14
Speaker 4: As I mentioned that they're going to discuss with their community to perhaps reduce the amount of welcome to countries. Do you think that more people around the country need to do that.
00:31:26
Speaker 13: That's really well and truly up to because those communities because like I said, and there's an example there, you know in Melbourne where Melbourne people want to sit down and discuss this and they have every right you know, because of their land, it's their country, but they need to talk to and that's where I think, you know, businesses should talk to those that are from the land. And like I said, it's you know, they've blood descendants. It's not people that aren't connected to the land or not blood descendants. And that's where the issue comes in because our elders said that the ceremonies are being performed wrong and they can see people getting sick because of it. And that's why enough's enough, you know, until they sought through, like I said, our cultural business here in North Queensland.
00:32:10
Speaker 3: So how when is the right time to do it?
00:32:15
Speaker 13: You know, like I said, when you're meeting new people of people you know on your land coming to your land. If people come to you and say, oh, you know, can turn one please greet like I had, I'll use an example here. I had a senior law man from Darwen come to visit Townsville and he asked before he come, he needs to meet another another law man, but also to be welcome from the traditional owner here on country.
00:32:39
Speaker 5: You know.
00:32:39
Speaker 13: So that's a proach, that was a correct process because here is a senior law senior boss man as a part of coming the country, and he knew he had to be welcome just to come on country. So there, you know, that's why I said there is cultural times and of course you're going to have your business times. And the thing about it too is you want to make sure people are safe on country when across the country, or even when they're building on country. You know, it's important to understand where they're building too as well, because I know that you know there are times that many have to perform cleansing and houses because of where they built. And that's why it's important to understand the country first. And that's why you've got to still sit down with your traditional owners to understand that country. And that's where your blood descenders come in and they share that knowledge and just you know, to make sure that people are safe, and that's our priorities because we want everyone to be together, we want everyone to live together, and we know today in Australia, we're becoming a multicultural society, so we still have to educate and help people understand, you know, moving upon, you know, across our lands, so we want them to be safe in their families.
00:33:40
Speaker 4: Randal, thank you so much for your time, Indigenous leader Randall Ross there eight double two three double o double oh. It is a very sensitive topic, Tommy, but I would like to hear from our beautiful listeners out there.
00:33:53
Speaker 3: Do you agree with Randal?
00:33:55
Speaker 4: I mean, he's decided in his community to stop it. It's an insult to his people, believing it's just been commercialized. Now people are making thousands of dollars out of it and it's losing its meaning.
00:34:06
Speaker 2: Zero double four eight zero eight thirty ninety five is the text line, Jade. A few are already coming through sensitive topic, but I refuse to acknowledge the welcome to country. My grandparents were born here, so where else is my country? That's from Sue, Welcome to country, even on KO Sports on flights way over it, as I'm sure the silent majority are. That's from Rick at Ordinger Beach. Keep those text messages coming. Let's continue to the Weather Bureau. Jenny Horbatt is on the line for us. Jenny, good morning to you. It's been a very hot night. I think we've got as what low is only twenty nine degrees. It was a hot one.
00:34:38
Speaker 14: Yeah, that's twenty nine point six was a minimum and that was actually last night at about hulf outs ten. So yeah, pretty pretty warm overnight with those temperatures in the thirties. And currently we are sitting on thirty point thirty three point two at the West Terrace night a pure of observation site, and looking at a maximum temperature of thirty eight degrees in the city of forty one for Elizabeth, a little bit molder there on the coast, around thirty six thirty seven forty degrees forecast for Mount Barker. But we do have that cold change coming through. It's moving across from the Wa border as we speak. We are expecting it here in the city maybe around lunchtime. Might take a little bit to take the edge off that off the heat through there, but a much cooler day coming up tomorrow. Looking at around twenty six degrees today though it is essentially looking like a dry change, but as it comes through, we couldn't rule out a shower or two, or even a bit of a gusty thunderstorm as it comes through. So it's a bit of a watch this space. So that is very hit and miss, very patchy with that shower and thunderstorm activity. But like I said, we've got relief coming through that maximum twenty six on Tuesday, that minimum sixteen, so better sleeping weather through there and temperatures hovering around the high twenties or low thirties as we head into the end of the week.
00:35:51
Speaker 2: There great stuff, looking forward to that cool change. Just after lunchtime, Jenny, thanks so much. Thanks see time this morning. Janni's Jenny or that there from the bureau.

00:43:03

It's still going to be pretty dry. May be a chery or too. She's saying that we're going to be back to the mid to high twenties tomorrow, which is a welcome relief, I'm sure for a lot of.
00:43:38
Speaker 4: People now this time of Year. There's always the best ofs that come out. We can exclusively reveal the Will's Car of the Year. Joining us now from Will's Magazine is editor Andy Enright.
00:43:52
Speaker 3: Good morning, Andy, good morning.
00:43:55
Speaker 5: How are you?
00:43:55
Speaker 3: We're excellent? Drum roll please, And the.
00:43:59
Speaker 18: Car is.
00:44:01
Speaker 5: The Wheels Car of the Year for twenty twenty four is the high end die Ionic five.
00:44:06
Speaker 3: N tell us more. What's it? What's so special about it?
00:44:10
Speaker 5: It's quite a remarkable car. Really, it's it's the first ev that's really really good fun to drive. It's hugely powerful. It's four hundred and seventy eight kilowatts, which is more than most supercars. But it's a practical shape. It's con seat five, it's got a four hundred and eighty liters boot, and it can be very very benign and very gentle you when you haven't wiped it up into its fiercest mode, and it does almost everything. It costs one hundred and ten thousand dollars, but it's not the cheap it's not the cheapest car that we've ever given Wheels Car of the Year two. But it's a real game changer, it really is. It's it's easy to get quite post faced. I think about the future of motoring and that it's not going to be any fun and that every thinks it's going to be a white good vehicle, but this just proves the opposite. It's really joyous and it's been engineered right from the start to be fun.
00:45:09
Speaker 2: So, any this is an electric vehicle, is it the first time or how long has it been since you've had an electric vehicle? Take out this goal.
00:45:17
Speaker 5: This will be the false one. Actually we had the first one was BMWi three back in twenty fourteen, and we had the Mercedes you've seen twenty twenty and the key at EV six in twenty twenty two. So yeah, it's now ten years since the first EV won Wheels Car of the Year.
00:45:35
Speaker 4: So you said it was really fun to drive. Tell us about how you tested it. Where did you go?
00:45:41
Speaker 5: Well, we had, as as usual at Wheels, we have three days at are proving ground where where we're away from the public roads and we can really put the car through their paces, and then we whipped down the list from twenty five cars to six and those six go out onto the public road we test them in a real world scenario, and the top three this year in third was the yung Dai Santa fe In. Second was the Toyota Camry and the Ionic five N was first. So yeah, it's it's quite a week. We've we judged them not against the other cars at Car of the Year, but on the criteria value safety, how they drive and design an execution.
00:46:28
Speaker 4: So coming in at one hundred and ten k how do you get the value out of that, Well, you.
00:46:35
Speaker 5: Can count it in a few different ways. It does a lot of things very very well. Be a lot of cars cough that much these days, unfortunately. And we've also introduced for this year a cap on the maximum price of cars at part of the year. We've never done that before, but this year we've said nothing over one hundred and forty thousand dollars. In the past, we would be inviting cars that may have been two hundred and fifty three hundred thousand dollars and they would struggle at Car of the Year. This year we've said, nope, we're not going to include the really expensive stuff. We're going to include those in a separate thing next year so they can show their stuff without being crawled by the Car of the Year criteria.
00:47:20
Speaker 2: And Andy, is it something that you're finding people are buying more of the electric vehicles. Is it becoming more commonplace?
00:47:28
Speaker 11: Yes and no.
00:47:31
Speaker 5: Sales and evs have stalled a little bit in Australia if you look. If you look at the figures, they're not climbing as we expected to this year. Some of that is down to cost of living issues, because there's no doubt that for an equivalent internal combustion engine car, it's a cheaper vehicle to buy upfront than an EV and we can completely understand that. But carslight the Ironic five ng just make us optimistic about the future for electric cars because they are engaging, they are fun. The key thing about the Ionic five end is there's been a lot of partisan ship about EV's and internal combustion engines, and this car just completely sweets that a size and says, you know what's wrong with taking the best bits of an EV and the best bits of a combustion car and blending them together. So you can drive it just like an EV, or you can switch it into a mode where you get engine sound and you can change gears with the paddles, and it does all sorts of clever things. It's really cool how.
00:48:28
Speaker 3: Much would this cost if it wasn't an EV.
00:48:31
Speaker 5: Oh, that's a tough question of the All of the Ironic five range is designed from the ground up as an EV. But if I was to hazard a guest, if they designed that car from the ground up as a petrol engine car, it's so hard to guess because for that level of performance that you get from that car, a petrol edgy car would actually probably end up costing you a lot more.
00:48:59
Speaker 4: We've got a text message that's come through. Can you please ask Andy how much a replacement battery is for the EV?
00:49:09
Speaker 5: Then? I don't know, and they don't release that stuff, but they can repair modules of the battery.
00:49:18
Speaker 4: I didn't know that the batteries ran it. So in some cases, do you have to replace a battery on an EV? You don't just keep recharging that.
00:49:27
Speaker 5: Yes, yes you do keep recharging them. But the battery warranties are incredibly long these days. Most manufacturers offer either an eight or a ten year battery warranty on the vehicles, so it's longer than the warranty on the vehicle in general, which in current does a case will be a five year warranty. A lot of people like to throw up that how much is the battery to replace? In reality, that doesn't happen if the battery goes at any point during those eight years. They're just putting battery.
00:50:00
Speaker 19: In the car for you.
00:50:01
Speaker 5: So it's a bit of a non secreteur really to ask that question.
00:50:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Andy, how many cars in total did you have to work through? I mean, obviously you've come to the winner, but I'm sure you had to test out a lot along the way.
00:50:16
Speaker 5: Yes, we had twenty five cars at this year's Car of the Year, so it was it was quite an involved week that got whittled down to six and then three, and then the day emerged on the top. It's the first time kind have ever won Will's Car of the Year. It's been running since nineteen sixty three and they've never never been out of cracket yet, but this is the first.
00:50:38
Speaker 3: Time since national And do you thank you so much?
00:50:41
Speaker 4: That is Andy and right, Wills Magazine editor announcing the car of the Year that high YONDI iconic five And I have never driven an electric.
00:50:50
Speaker 2: VideA you no, I haven't.
00:50:52
Speaker 10: No.
00:50:52
Speaker 4: They sound I mean whenever I hear one go past, they sound futuristic, spacelike, They sound like they'd be really fun and comfortable, but they freaked me out the thought of an electric car. I just feel like I'd run out of juice, electric battery juice somewhere where it's not convenient. I forget to put petrol in my car let alone charger.
00:51:13
Speaker 2: Fourth time that an electric vehicle has won this award, and been running since nineteen sixty three. It is the planet's longest continuously running motoring award.
00:51:23
Speaker 1: Five double a Summer Breakfast, Tom Wren and Jade Robren.
00:51:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's great to be with you. It is twenty three minutes past seven o'clock on this December sixteenth Monday, Jade roberin Tom Wren with you through until the rest of the week. Thirty four degrees at the moment, Jade, it is hot.
00:51:38
Speaker 4: It is very very warm, but we have got a very exciting show coming up for the rest of the morning with you. In about an hour's time, thyds of Year twelve students are going to get their SACE results.
00:51:51
Speaker 3: We wish them all the very best.
00:51:52
Speaker 4: We just announced the Wheels Car of the Year, an electric car this year, Hey Yonder, and I mentioned that I've never driven one and I'm don't know that I trust myself to get behind one because I'm hopeless at filling my car up with petrol, let alone charging.
00:52:06
Speaker 3: And I've got a couple of messages.
00:52:07
Speaker 4: Here saying, Jay, you just need to get over that, and you just need to get in one with solar panels.
00:52:12
Speaker 3: They're the best thing.
00:52:14
Speaker 4: But there are a couple of other messages saying I wonder if Andy would buy a second hand Ionic five in eight years time. Another one from Andrew here. How can evs be fun when you have to charge after driving only four hundred k's? Can't You can't even drive halfway to Melbourne where petrol and hybrids? You can not to mention the vehicles used to mine, manufacture and transport EV's or Raither Diesel or jet A one. Do you have to say I'm not dropping one hundred and ten thousand dollars on a I know this sounds really snobby on a high end tie. Wouldn't you go maybe a fancy MERK or a BMW? I'd go European if I've got that much money to spend on a car.
00:52:51
Speaker 2: It's the other thing too, isn't it just that convenience? Like you said, if you know a lot of people do go for the long range trips. We live in Australia going to Melbourne for the footy or whatever the case may be.
00:53:01
Speaker 3: And how long does it take to charge?
00:53:02
Speaker 2: It's that inconvenience, isn't it. We do have the charging stations. I noticed just downstairs here outside of.
00:53:07
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're popping up in a lot of shopping centers too, aren't they.
00:53:10
Speaker 2: And I think it is probably moving more that way, isn't it long term? But yeah, I think it's it's going to be a real shift before people probably do it more mainstream.
00:53:19
Speaker 4: I love our Adelaide things conversations too. We've got lots of Adelaide things. We've got one here to hire, Jade and Tom. An obvious Adelaide thing is the oval. Many have said it's the best this year. It didn't raine during the cricket like days at the Gabba. Even if the Test only lasts two plus days, That itself shows how good our oval is. Perfect pitch Ian from Morfatteville, speaking of Adelaide Things, step.
00:53:45
Speaker 11: On five double a breakfast.
00:53:51
Speaker 2: Another midweekend of sport. He's on the line. I'm sure I was watching the cricket loving Travis Head dominating Rowie. Good morning to you what I perform. It's from Traphead over the weekend, back to back centuries, first time in his career.
00:54:05
Speaker 19: Yeah, Renny and Jade, good morning.
00:54:06
Speaker 20: I'll get to that.
00:54:07
Speaker 21: For those that slept well last night not and got attacked by mosquitos. Me, I'm going to be a bit of a grumpy bum today. So I just thought i'd say that, is there any correlation with ssquitos out and full moons? If our listeners know, give us an answer that because I recom when it's a full Did you see the moon last night?
00:54:24
Speaker 19: Jade?
00:54:25
Speaker 4: Yes, it's massive and even driving in this morning at five am though it was like it was it was seven am.
00:54:30
Speaker 3: It was so brph But the mozzies are big buggers.
00:54:35
Speaker 19: God Morty.
00:54:35
Speaker 4: Anyway, I needed a blood transfusion almost after Saturday night, sitting.
00:54:39
Speaker 3: In our backyard, I got a tap. So I love my ankles.
00:54:42
Speaker 21: Now that's true. Now, Jody, if you're listening, and I know you are because you love Jade and Rennie Summer's breakfasts, go back to bed and get out the other side of the bed. Please. Okay, let's talk cricket.
00:54:54
Speaker 4: Breakfast in bed, Browie, you've got nothing else to do that'll cheer her up.
00:54:59
Speaker 21: I'm fitting winds Hey, let's talk cricket Australia. After Day two's firstig seventh for four hundred and five Alt's carry not out forty five. That's great in itself, but the day did belong to two people, one in particular our man Travis Head one hundred and fifty two of one hundred and sixty Cherry Steve Smith's thirty third Test ton was a two hundred and forty one run partnership. I want to give you this stat, Rennie, because I know you love your stats.
00:55:22
Speaker 7: Yep.
00:55:23
Speaker 21: When Travis Head makes a ton right, that was his eighth Test ton, We've gone on to win every single Test because you know why. When he comes to the crease, he takes it away from him. He's like Gil Chris Boy was at a good one hundred and fifty.
00:55:36
Speaker 2: He gets on with it. Row, he doesn't eat any He takes the game away from you and you can see India that they're panicking. They've got no real plan for him.
00:55:42
Speaker 21: ROWI, oh god, he was fantastic. I was riveted to the TV yesterday his last four innings at the gabba. Quack quack, golden quack kin quack. So there are four ducks in a row.
00:55:54
Speaker 2: Did you know that? Yeah, three golden ducks in a row. So he's had a bad run. But then you know, just comes out and just goes bang yesterday and he looked amazing. I was discussing in the last hour or so. We've had some incredible South Australian cricketers, obviously the Chapel Brothers, the Don Jason Gilleslie. But I think he's probably in the top five of all time now, isn't he from s A Well?
00:56:16
Speaker 21: By the numbers and this is just by the numbers. This calendar year, he's the number one batsman in the world. He scored three hundred and eighty one runs already of four hundred and two cherries, he's averaging ninety five point twenty five. He hasn't ironed him like a dead fish. Honestly, he just gave care thing love him the other one Steve Smith, g did he need that time? What was it seventeen months before his last one? It's his thirty third. I thought he scratched and fiddled around early and then he grafted and crafted in the middle and in the end. I mean he always says this, he found his hands. But God did he need that time.
00:56:50
Speaker 11: Yeap.
00:56:50
Speaker 2: It was the longest streak I think of innings that he hadn't made a hundred bet he broke through and looked good. Rowie, looking forward to another big show tonight with you.
00:57:00
Speaker 21: Yep, we've got Campo in Jimmy G's having holidays. Thirty six is One's reds one. We'll see you at four.
00:57:05
Speaker 2: Get away, Rowie, great stuff, Rowie, Rowell. We're there from four o'clock tonight. Plenty more coming up after the seven thirty news. Here on five Double A Breakfast.
00:57:14
Speaker 1: Five Double A Summer Breakfast, Tom Wren and Jade Robren.
00:57:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've hit the halfway point here on five double A Breakfast this morning at twenty three minutes to eight o'clock. Jade Rober and Tom ran through until nine. It is very very warm out there. Try and stay cool if you can, take it easy. Don't try and exert yourself too much. Lots of water, all those simple messages. Jay, we've had a hot few days. The good news is, though, the cool change is coming.
00:57:40
Speaker 3: And Tommy the countdown is on.
00:57:42
Speaker 4: We're under an hour before all those say students the year twelve students will click a button and find.
00:57:48
Speaker 3: Out their results for all their hard work for twenty twenty four.
00:57:52
Speaker 4: And joining us is Mikayla Bensley, who's the head of the Safeboard. Mikayla, good morning, A bit of a nervous hour ahead, Yes.
00:58:01
Speaker 22: Good morning, thank you for the opportunity. Yes, it's an exciting day for all the South Australian young people, their families and especially their teachers.
00:58:09
Speaker 3: And so how many students are going to be waiting for their SACE today?
00:58:13
Speaker 22: Ah, well, we'd like to congratulate. There's over fifteen thousand, nine hundred and sixty seven students that will actually be completing their.
00:58:20
Speaker 12: FACE this year.
00:58:21
Speaker 3: That is sensational. That's a record, isn't it.
00:58:24
Speaker 22: Yeah, it's the highest number since the current qualification was introduced. So we're very excited by that. What it really reflects, though, is all of the hard work, the dedication and really the sacrifices that these young people have made to make sure that they finish high school and yeah, are able to go on to do what they'd like after school.
00:58:43
Speaker 3: I tell you what.
00:58:44
Speaker 4: I hope it's not like trying to get gather around tickets and everything just crashes at that eight third art.
00:58:49
Speaker 22: Oh. I hope so too, But I'm really confident it won't. Students will be able to access the results really smoothly.
00:58:56
Speaker 4: Can I to ask you about subjects? Because I mean back in my day it was maths and English and business studies. There is so much more on offer now, isn't there.
00:59:05
Speaker 22: Yeah, there's a massive range of subjects trying to cater for all the interests and the diversity that's out there in terms of our young people, but also in terms of the skills and knowledge that they'll need for their pathways going forward. So to give you an example, we've got subjects like business, innovation, nutrition, tourism, you can do.
00:59:25
Speaker 18: Dance and music.
00:59:26
Speaker 22: We have subjects like people power and politics, social studies, those sorts of subjects. So there's a huge range of subjects now, lots of languages that you can study. So it's very different to them when I went to school.
00:59:39
Speaker 2: It's reflective, isn't it, Almost of society, you know, just that opportunity to explore and diversify it. It's good for you know, students to be able to have that I guess range of subjects to choose.
00:59:49
Speaker 22: From, absolutely, and we want high school to be somewhere where they can explore their passions, to try new things, to you know, be excited by things, so that they have an idea around where and who they want to be post school. And I think the more subjects we can offer to meet that diversity of student interest, then the better place they are for whatever their future looks like going forward. So yeah, it's something we're really proud of and we'll continue.
01:00:13
Speaker 4: Do you have a sneak peak of any you know, really really outstanding results. We've seen a couple of students in the paper this morning that have done extremely well. How have we gone in essay this year?
01:00:27
Speaker 22: Yeah, well, students continue to just kind of really exceed our expectations, not only just around their level of achievement, so you know, I have their subject results and how well they do their but also how they balance that with how they want to contribute to the to society generally. We've got students, for example, who've raised funds for the homeless, that are also looking after ill parents and fellow siblings, people who are really motivated to do really innovative things and start even work and so forth, all their own startups within school. So they're really amazing young people. But in terms of the academic achievement, we have, you know, thirty three students that have achieved a Governor's Commendation Award, which is really reflecting those students who are nominated by the school, who've really shown initiative to go above and beyond what you'd expect and have really shaped their community both in and outside of the school. So we're very excited about that.
01:01:25
Speaker 2: It's great to see so many people achieving such you know, meritorious results. The other thing too, is it's not just the kids that go through. It's a whole of team effort, isn't it the families, to parents, grandparents as well. It's a massive achievement to get through year twelve.
01:01:41
Speaker 22: For everyone, right, anyone who's had a year twelve student nodes that it kind of is something the whole family goes through. So I really just want to recognize that their success wouldn't have been possible without their cares and their friends, which create a really huge support system for them. And now that we're able to really engage face to face again. Those things are super important. But I'd also really like to acknowledge the teachers. We've got an amazing teacher workforce in South Australia who are so committed to helping these young people pursue their dreams, and without their effort, the success of these young people just wouldn't be possible.
01:02:17
Speaker 4: Michael, what do you say to those what advice would you pass on to those that open it and you know there might be a point or too short of that dream course that they want to get into.
01:02:27
Speaker 22: Yeah, I think there's a couple of things for me. Firstly, I want young people to be really excited, but why they by what they have achieved and not feel like they're being defined by what these numbers look like. I think the end of high school itself is a huge achievement, and I want to emphasize that there are more pathways beyond school than ever, and there's also more ways to get in than ever. So even if you think that they're you know, you might be a couple you didn't kind of achieve what you were hoping for. I really encourage people to give us a call. We'll be able to explain what your results mean. And we'll also be able to provide you with a range of options. But I think my kind of final message is, if you want to be and do anything, what happens today is not going to prevent you from following your dream.
01:03:13
Speaker 2: It's great advice. You know, it can seem like it, you know, is the end of the world if you don't achieve that ultimate mark that you're aiming for. But you're right, there's so many other pathways and you can go again, so you know.
01:03:25
Speaker 22: It's absolutely find the way to get.
01:03:27
Speaker 2: There, exactly right. It's great advice. Mikhayla. A big day for you, a big day for all of the year. Twelve students out there, thanks so much for coming on five double a breakfast this morning, no.
01:03:36
Speaker 22: Problem, Thank you for your time, thank you.
01:03:38
Speaker 2: Great stuff that was excited for them.
01:03:41
Speaker 4: It is it's in all that hard work. It's hours upon hours, and it does. It takes a village.
01:03:46
Speaker 13: You know.
01:03:47
Speaker 4: I've got quite a few friends who today they're waiting for their children.
01:03:50
Speaker 3: Eight thirty. They'll be logging on and you know, this is the last few weeks.
01:03:53
Speaker 4: They they stop their life almost so they make sure this you know, the fridge is stopped full of brain food and everyone tiptoes around. You've got grumpy, angry teenagers. It's full on and it all comes down to this one little moment. But does it know, Like MICHAELA said, it doesn't have to shape your whole life today.
01:04:13
Speaker 2: Yes, you know, yeah, but it is. It can feel overwhelming and you know you're going through it all with your friends as well, and the sense of relief as well. Once it's all over, it's powerable, isn't it. So good luck to all the students and we hope to have a chat to one or two perhaps a little bit later this morning. It is sixteen minutes to eight o'clock. We might go to a call before we got.
01:04:38
Speaker 4: Hank Yonker from Services Australia who's got some tips for school leavers.
01:04:42
Speaker 3: Thank you very much for joining us, Hank. How are you this morning?
01:04:45
Speaker 23: Oh look, I'm really well. Thank you.
01:04:47
Speaker 3: It's a very important day.
01:04:49
Speaker 4: You guys do a fantastic job for our school leavers. It can be a little bit overwhelming when they get out into that big bad world. Financial side of it as well. They've got to start paying hexs fe these a lot of parents will cut that lifeline off and say all right, it's time for you to feed your own mouth.
01:05:05
Speaker 3: Now what tips have you got?
01:05:07
Speaker 23: Well, look, it is the time for young people to actually start facing up to a few adult responsibilities, and now is the time to start claiming for payments like youth allowed And the reason for that is we encourage people to claim thirteen weeks prior to when they're likely to be eligible. And of course most students start studies in early February, so now's the time to claim. But there's a few other things I recommend. Firstly, get students to open a mygather account and link to center Link and Medicare because what that means is, particularly with sendling, they can logic claim online use of allance. Now, get all their ducks lined up in a row, make sure they've got all the right documents. And it's important to remember that Youth Allowance is also subject to a parental income test, so there's a few steps that they had to follow.
01:06:10
Speaker 4: How much money could you get if you tick all the boxes? How beneficial is it?
01:06:15
Speaker 20: Look?
01:06:15
Speaker 23: The rates really vary depending on your situation. The best thing to do is to go to our website Services Australia dot au and if you look for Youth Allowance. Not only will it give you all the latest rates depending on your situation and your parents' income, of course, but also in terms of the other support that is available.
01:06:41
Speaker 4: So the Youth Allowance of Study, Tertiary Access Payment. Can you get all three at the same time. Can you talk us through what they are and how they differ from each other.
01:06:52
Speaker 23: Yeah, Look, Youth Allowance is paid up to age twenty two, sorry twenty four. Beyond that if you're continuing in studies, that's when OZ study kicks in. Now. It's good that you asked about the Tertiary Access Payment because there are two payments available for students that have to move from regional and remote Australia into city or to other locations in order to undertake their studies. And again it really the Tertiary Access Payment is a payment that's made regardless of whether or not you qualify for Youth Allowance, and there's also another payment that's available. But again the best thing to do would be to go to our website and if you just have a look at Youth Allowance those payments. The Tertiary Access Payment is paid automatically if you're eligible, and so it also gives you a guide on how to qualify for the other payments.
01:08:05
Speaker 3: Hank, thank you very much, good tips, great stuff.
01:08:08
Speaker 2: Just before we get to the traffic, just a bit of an update as to what is happening on the roads. Jay. Police are at the scene of a truck roll over at the southern end of the Southern Expressway at about seven o'clock this morning. Police will call to Maine South Road at No Longer Downs after a rubbish truck that had been traveling south lost control and tipped over. Now the driver of the truck has been taken to hospital, thankfully with non life threatening injuries. There are speed restrictions in the area and one lane has closed for southbound traffic, so expect delays if you are traveling through the area this morning. We might get some.
01:08:44
Speaker 11: More five Double A Summer Breakfast.
01:08:47
Speaker 10: Tom Wren and Jade Robren.
01:08:49
Speaker 2: Coming up to eight minutes two eight o'clock here on five Double A Breakfast. It is Monday, the sixteenth of December. Still very warm outside, so try and stay cool if you can. But we've been talking a little bit about animals and the zoo this morning.
01:09:02
Speaker 4: Jade, there is so much going on in essay right now. It's Pandemodim out there. Eyes of the world on us because the two cute and clor little pandas have made their way over from China our new ones. They're in quarantine right now. We'll talk about that a little bit later, but elephants as well are on their way. We've got Burma. He's arrived and is ready for visitors. And joining us now is Casey Trelaw from seven News who's been getting up close and a little bit personal. You've been giving him a bath, Casey, I hear, good morning.
01:09:36
Speaker 24: Good morning, Jade and Tom wat an incredible experience that was we got to pop up and see Burma in all her glory day one out of quarantine.
01:09:47
Speaker 8: She was a little nervous. She's got quite a big enclosure that she now has full and open access to. There's a massive watering hole at the end of this enclosure, so I'm sure she's going to be pretty excited when she eventually reaches that that far end. But yes, lots of hot weather at the moment, so her keepers lots of giving her, lots of basstime, lots of hose off, and these animals absolutely love water, so once they find those watering holes, they'll be splashing that water on themselves. But for now, yeah, keeper's very busy with the hose and I got the chance to give her a bit of a spray down too, And oh she is just magnificent. She is enormous. Her eyes are just as beautiful. They're just mesmerizing, absolutely mesmerizing, and everything about her is just incredible. So it's so exciting that finally now South Australians should be able to pop out and see her when they head out to Minato.
01:10:37
Speaker 2: I was going to say, when can they do that? Is it from today, Casey?
01:10:42
Speaker 8: Look so basically from day one of quarantined, But if you're hopping around on a bus, you should be able to see her. There's a bit of a viewing area that they can see. But in those early days, no doubt, you may not have seen her too much, just because of how nervous she was about exploring this new area. In fact, we were told that she had a bit of a sniffer. There were some kangaroo dunk. She had one sip of that and was like nap, She's spun around and she was right back in her safety bar and it was kind of a safety net, so a few new fifts for her to work out. But very important though you're not a zoo the same member, you must book otherwise you probably will miss out. And no doubt that is going to be a very very busy booking system, especially these school holidays.
01:11:21
Speaker 3: And Casey, she's got a little mate on her way.
01:11:23
Speaker 8: Oh, this is so exciting. So there's obviously four more elephants to come. Two of them are in persue, one a female and another a male. Now, the male, he's got a few hormonal issues to sort out before he's ready to do his create training and heading for while the male elephants they go through this essentially, this testosterone boost for months at a time, and he's in the middle of that at the moment, so these sort of keepers don't go anywhere near him. He's doing his own thing. So he will come out of that sort of in the early stages of next year. And once he comes out of that testosterone increased faith, then they can start working on him to be able to move him. But in the meantime he has a mate over there called Permi. Now, female elephants, they are very social. They need to be in a herd and Permi had a mate over there, Trisha, and Trisha Sadley passed away two years ago. So Permai has been showing signs of loneliness, but that loneliness has really increased, a lot of swaying and things like that. But the great thing too, for keepers over there, permis taken to her great training exceptionally well, so that actually fast tracked her move to Manato six months ahead of schedule. She should be here by the end of January, and of course being in Australia, there's no quarantine required, so Burma and Permi will get to meet each other at the end of January, and her New Zealand keepers or Burma's New Zealand keepers, are so excited because of course Burma has been on her own for a little while as well, so they are so excited for that encounter. It could take, you know, a couple of hours for them to get familiar with each other. It could take a couple of days, but very exciting Nato. So within a couple of months, Bang, we have two amazing beautiful elephants.
01:13:04
Speaker 3: Oh, that's really sweet.
01:13:06
Speaker 4: And then once old mates gone through elephant puberty, he'll be in and they'll have a little they have a little herd at Manato.
01:13:13
Speaker 8: That's it. So the male he's probably six months away still, but there is two other females that are coming from Taronga Zoo as well, and so they will be coming a few months after her, sorry, the one from Perth. So yeah, there'll be four females and they'll get to have this amazing social structure. I'm sure one of them will work out which ones to make triarch.
01:13:35
Speaker 13: And sort of rule the roost.
01:13:37
Speaker 8: Kind of thing, and then the male he'll be you know, they'd like to live on their own. They're quite solitary creatures, but there is a chance maybe nothing set in stone, there's you know, no set plans, but maybe there could be a hope that with that male and some of those younger females, especially from Tarrongo Zoo, there could be a little bit of a mating program. But that's still all yet to be e now and the star, but yes, very excited. We'll have four females together. They'll have this beautiful social structure and also that male there on hand too.
01:14:07
Speaker 2: Now, casey, you're going to be with us here on five to double a during the summer as well, which is exciting. So we're going to hear a lot more of you this summer.
01:14:14
Speaker 8: Super excited to join the team guys. So yes it it.
01:14:18
Speaker 6: Helped you out a little bit over summer last year.
01:14:20
Speaker 8: So really excited to jump back in the seat with Lucy again this year too. I'm sure we'll have plenty to unpack around Christmas time and New Year's as well, and I'm sure plenty of hot weather related stories as well, So looking forward to it.
01:14:31
Speaker 4: Good stuff, Casey, thank you so much. We're looking forward to having you here. Casey Drelaw from seven News. Casey mentioned their eyes. I was lucky enough to well in Bali. They've got a Safari park there and I took the kids and you're allowed to go and feed them and they come right up close to you and staring into their eyes. It's something really special. It removes you some of those prehistoric animals. They're just incredible and we're so lucky to have them just up the freeway there, poppingto Minato.
01:15:03
Speaker 2: So good up there. It's good to the boys. It's sensational. It is a couple of minutes to eight o'clock. We'll take a short break. News is coming up next and a big hour coming up after the eight o'clock.
01:15:13
Speaker 11: News five Double a summer Breakfast, Tom.
01:15:17
Speaker 10: Wren and Jade Robren.
01:15:19
Speaker 2: Roberin Tom Wren through until nine o'clock and we're going to be here all week as well, Jade, aren't We were looking forward to doing it.
01:15:26
Speaker 4: Yes, And we've got some beautiful photos that are coming through on the text line Oh double four eight eight thirteen ninety five. Suzanne has taken some gorgeous photos at Semaphore Park Beach. Beautiful sunsets and beautiful sunrise this morning. Send in your photos. How hot is it in your neck of the woods. Some parts of the state is reaching forty five degrees today. It's hot one tom Overnight Big News. The remaining five members of the Balley nine drug smuggling ring have returned to Australia. As we know, they spent nearly twenty year is in Indonesian jails. Following that top has been a really top secret mission. We first found out news let's say maybe two three weeks ago, there was talk that they were going to come home. Well it's all happened overnight. And joining us from seven News is Nick McCallum he is in Darwin. Nick, great to have you on the program.
01:16:19
Speaker 25: Good morning, Yes, Good morning Jade, Good morning Tom. We're standing out the front of the Howard Springs government facility. It became quite famous during COVID. That's where a lot of people were quarantined when they returned from overseas. The five Australians are now currently in there. They spent their first night there.
01:16:41
Speaker 19: And as you mentioned, it was a top secret operation but there was a bit of the irony about it. The Indonesians have released vision yesterday in the vip area of the Bali airport and that's where we got shots of the five standing there. We've got shots of the Australian signing documentation. Then they jumped on a scheduled Jet Star flight so they hid in plane sight. They were actually moved from Bali to Darwin. They arrived here at about twenty to three yesterday afternoon and straight to this facility. Now they are free people. They can come and go as they please, but at the moment they are actually receiving medical treatment. It's anticipated their families were told not to go to the airport yesterday, but their families, it's anticipated, will come and visit the moment the next couple of days.
01:17:41
Speaker 2: Nick, what's the reception been like, I mean uibversitly covering the story very closely. Has it been one of support for them being repatriated back home or has there been a bit of negative publicity going the other way with it as well?
01:17:54
Speaker 19: Oh, there's absolutely been negative publicity. But the Prime Minister in a statement yesterday, he did a video statement and he said nineteen years, which is what they've served, is long enough for the crime. Now let's remember it was eight point three kilograms of herom with a street value of about four million dollars. Now, the two ringleaders were executed in twenty fifteen. One of the members of the syndicate died in jail of summit cancer. The other one a female, Renee Lawrence. She was released on the grounds of good behavior in twenty and eighteen. These five guys, a few of them had actually been sentenced to death, but it was commuted to life imprisonment. In Indonesia, that generally means you spend life in jail, but it's now been commuted to nineteen years as basically a sign of goodwill from the new Indonesian president to the Australian government now. They released a statement the government overnight. They said they were relieved and happy. The men and their families will always be grateful to the Australian government for all the work they've done. They look forward in time to reintegrating back into and contributing to society. The welfare of the men is a priority. They will need time and support.
01:19:20
Speaker 3: Nick, what now, what happens today? Or is it just watch and sea?
01:19:25
Speaker 19: Yes, it is just watch and see Jade, because there is no timeline put on how long they can stay here. They I think the Australian government want them to stay here to get the medical help, to also sort out any psychological issues, and also to re meet their parents and their families. Most of them are from New South Wales and from Queensland. But as I point out, they are free. There is no obligation. Originally the Indonesians were talking about getting them to serve time the rest of their time here in Australia. That has now been dropped, so there is no obligation on the Australian government to keep them in detention in any way, shape or form. There is a complication. A couple of them married Indonesian women and in fact have children now, they for obvious reasons, are not allowed back into Indonesia, so they will have to go through the normal processes to try and get visas for their Indonesian families to come and live with him in Australia. That will be, obviously, for obvious reasons, a complicated process, and that could also take time, and I think the Australian government wants to try and talk them through that process as well.
01:20:38
Speaker 2: We're talking to Nick McCallum from seven News, who's in Dahen covering the release of the five remaining members of the Bali nine. Nick, do you think we're likely to hear from any of these members perhaps today or at some point this week or it's just too difficult to say?
01:20:52
Speaker 19: Well, well, I think it's too difficult to say, Tom. I mean, as I mentioned they released the statement. I would imagine, and this is just me using supposition, I would imagine the Australian governments would not in any way want them to talk at this stage. They want them to gently disappear back into their lives. They don't want to stir the pot because as we talked about, there are people who say they shouldn't have spent any money, They shouldn't have campaigned for them to come out of Indonesia. They should have served their time in Indonesia. So they don't want to stir the pot with that. But also they don't want to in any way poke the bear of the Indonesians. Indonesians have done what they say is a great favor to the Australian community. They have not asked for anything in the return, but who knows what happens down the track. So they don't want anything to be said by any of these five that might be construed as criticism of the Indonesian government, even talking about the conditions in Indonesian jails which are pauling. In two thousand and five when they were court, I actually went over there with the Renee Lawrence's father and joined him as he visited her, and the conditions were appalling. And you know, that's what happens when you get caught trying to traffic joke at Drakes in Asia. You end up in an Asian jail and it is very ugly, very unpleasant, and hell on earth, and that's what you get. So I would imagine the Australian government would not necessarily want the five men talking about the conditions in those jails because it will be construed as criticism of the Indonesian government, and certainly they don't want that at the moment because it's perceived that the Indonesians have done the right thing by Australia.
01:22:49
Speaker 4: Nick, thank you so much for your time. It's going to be really interesting. I mean, you know you look back. I know there's going to be mixed thoughts out in the community on this one. Mine is, you know, the balley bomber's got less time and they killed hundreds of Australians. These guys have spent twenty plus years. I believe they've done their time. It's an incredible Christmas present for their families over the years, and Nick, you would experienced it with Renee Lawrence's father. They haven't been able to hug their children, touch them, you know that, or any time it's.
01:23:20
Speaker 3: Been through bars.
01:23:21
Speaker 4: It's going to be a really emotional, uphill battle really to bring them back into society now, isn't it.
01:23:27
Speaker 5: Well, well, it is.
01:23:29
Speaker 19: And another point the Indonesians made was that all of the five are getting credit for good behavior. A lot of them have been seen as being mentors in jail for other people. Much younger people who have done the wrong thing have ended up in balley jails on minor crimes, and they've been seen as mentors trying to get those people back on the straight and narrow, whether it be Indonesians or foreigners. So they've done good work in jail. I tend to agree with you. I mean, I just think nineteen years is long enough for their crimes, particularly seeing that was spent in an Indonesian jail, a long way away from their families. They've done their time. They should be allowed to try and get back into Australian society, hopefully, as they say, contribute to Australian society, particularly if they have young families. That's what they will want to do. And I think that's fair enough.
01:24:29
Speaker 10: Nick.
01:24:29
Speaker 2: Really appreciate your time this morning. We know how busy you are with various deadlines, so appreciate it and look forward to watching your report tonight.
01:24:36
Speaker 19: Good on you. Thanks a lot, guys.
01:24:37
Speaker 2: Thanks Nick, great stuff. Nick McCallum, an absolute start of the media game, and up there and dow and covering that story. We're going to head out to the streets of Adelaide right now, because we know how hot it is, Jade, so savvy Daddo who does a wonderful job is out there for us. Sammy, It is very warm out there. How are you coping?
01:24:55
Speaker 20: Morning morning, Tommy Head on the live stream, it looks like a pearler of a day here, but once you actually come outside after we're being in our air condition building all morning, it is quite warm. So we're going for a top of thirty eight today currently already in the city it is thirty four degrees now. The call change is expected later this evening. Tomorrow is going to be a top of twenty six, which will be a welcome relief. Look at some averages though for December and Adelaide, twenty seven point four is the average high. Now that was less than what our overnight low was last night. So the overnight low of twenty nine point six hit at ten forty two last night, so it was a warm one for sure as well. Across the state. Though, keep in mind we're at the top of thirty eight. Lavarroue going for a top of forty five already, thirty three ut Nadada going for a top of forty four currently thirty three as well, Keith forty three, also thirty three. Portagusta are expecting a high of forty three currently thirty two, but some storms are expected as well for their Barry that's not nice. And Berry forty five degrees today currently thirty one, Milicent thirty seven currently thirty and Mount Gambia also thirty seven, currently thirty degrees. Now the pick of the bunch, if you could pick somewhere in South Australia to be it has to be Port Lincoln, I reckon because they're only going for a top of thirty one, but it's already thirty one in Port Lincoln, so a cooler day over there for them. Now. We're also going to be catching up with the CFS after eight thirty this morning because we've had the warm day yesterday, another warm day to day to talk about some fire dangers, all the fire danger today for what is to be expected across Adelaide. So we'll catch up with them after eight thirty.
01:26:25
Speaker 2: Looking forward to that. So any great stuff, really appreciate it. And yeah, thirty four point three in the city at the moment.
01:26:31
Speaker 4: So if you're doing a cross for the Today Show, would you have taken your shirt off.
01:26:35
Speaker 2: Gone, yeah, off, You're just lucky that I've still got mine on in here right now.
01:26:39
Speaker 3: Yes, can you please keep it on just for a little bit?
01:26:43
Speaker 2: Definitely, I don't want to. It's only just said, don't prompt him.
01:26:46
Speaker 3: We know he's tempted.
01:26:47
Speaker 2: Don't we lose?
01:26:48
Speaker 10: We know?
01:26:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I don't want to. I don't want to do that to you this early in the week.
01:26:52
Speaker 11: Jay five Double A Summer Breakfast.
01:26:55
Speaker 10: Tom Wren and Jane Robren, And it.
01:26:57
Speaker 2: Is twenty one minutes to nine o'clock here on five Double A Brecky, Jada Rober and Tom ran with you through until nine o'clock and the rest of the week. I hope you're enjoying the program, Jade. It is slowly creeping up thirty four point seven degrees. That's off the back of a really hot day yesterday, and with that, as we know, comes some potential dangers.
01:27:16
Speaker 4: It most definitely does. We've got extreme weather conditions all across the state today. Lamarue and Moombar are possibly hitting a top of forty five degrees today. From the CFS State Judy Commander and Letcher joins us now and thank you so much for your time, What are the key messages going into today?
01:27:35
Speaker 18: Good morning and good morning to your listeners. The key messages today, I'm making sure that you are across the information that's being pushed out by emergency services. So if we have any incidents today, we need to make sure that people have either downloaded the alert essay app or that they're listening to their local radio or they're on the CFF website to see what are the messages that we're pushing and what are we asking them to do when the incidents occur.
01:28:01
Speaker 4: There's a lot of ads on the TV and radio at the moment about being prepared.
01:28:06
Speaker 3: What does that look like?
01:28:08
Speaker 18: So being prepared is a number of things, and often it depends on where you live. But where we would like people to start is to jump online on the CFS website and do their five minutes push by a survival plan, and that will help them with what do they need to do and what is the risk in the area where they live, but also where they might be traveling on their holidays.
01:28:28
Speaker 2: And obviously the heat is a real issue with potential fire damage, but I'm guessing the wind as well is a major problem to and so definitely.
01:28:38
Speaker 18: The wind changes the fire danger for us. So yesterday we had quite a hot day and the fire danger rating was only at high. But today, with the change coming through, we're seeing increased winds and that's what's pushing us into that extreme risk.
01:28:54
Speaker 3: And what are the areas of concern around the state today?
01:28:58
Speaker 18: So there's a couple of things who've got sick areas that are in fire danger rating of extreme. So that's the York Pininsula, the Mid North, the Mount Lofty Ranges, the Murray Lands, and then the Upper and the Lower Southeast.
01:29:14
Speaker 3: So what's your advice for those areas.
01:29:17
Speaker 18: So what we would like people to do is, if you haven't done a plan, jump on and do one this morning. All you need to do is pop outside your door to realize it's a really horrible day to day in terms of fire weather. So jump on and do a plan, but also just be thinking about where are you going to be, where's your family going to be, what are you going to do with your pets, all of those sorts of things, so that you can feel confident there is time this morning for you to move any flammable material away from your house to make a defendable space around the area. There's a couple of simple things that you can do that will help keep you safe.
01:29:54
Speaker 4: Can you explain that the ground at the moment, how are we really dry? Are we going into what is what the season look like?
01:30:02
Speaker 18: So what we've seen this season is because we didn't get much rain for most of the year, what we call the soil dryness indeck is really high. So what that means is the amount of rain we need to make the top layer of soil moist is actually a lot, up to one hundred and fifty millimeters in some areas. So what we find for fire danger is that that means that when it's that dry, fires move quite quickly through the landscape, and so the risk for us, particularly in the forested areas and so forest and scrub areas this year is quite high.
01:30:39
Speaker 4: What are some tips that you've got for people that could prepare their home going into the season.
01:30:44
Speaker 18: Absolutely so, like I said, moving any of those flammable materials away from your home to create that defendable space. The really simple things like making sure you've cleaned out your gutters and you don't have any material in those that could catch fire, and making sure that if you're traveling as well, that you have with you a woolen blanket, some water, some protective gloves, so that if you do get caught somewhere, you're able to protect yourself.
01:31:14
Speaker 3: Why a woolen blanket do they not catch on fire as easily?
01:31:18
Speaker 18: So essentially, woolen blankets are the best fire protection we have. It's a natural fiber that doesn't burn anywhere near the level that cotton or linen or sort of any other material does. So is they able to provide you with a level of protection.
01:31:36
Speaker 2: Great advice, and thanks so much for coming on five double a breakfast this morning.
01:31:40
Speaker 18: Thank you so much for having me.
01:31:42
Speaker 4: Thanks n And also, you know, closer to home in the CBD, if it gets really hot, check in on your neighbors the elderly. Make sure that you've got water outside for pets, you know, on these really hot days, bring them inside. I just think it's really lovely to, you know, put that bowl of water out, because you know you'll get birds come in wildlife often these days you get those beautiful social media pictures of koalas and kangaroos coming to people's home, you know, in and around Blair and Hawthorn. Dean because you know they're parched and hot as well. But close the curtains and just keep hydrated and check in on each other.
01:32:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, big time. It's great advice. And also just watering the garden. Like we've got Harry the eleven year old. He is growing a few veggies out the back, strawberries and lemons and so forth, and just watering the garden every day. In this kind of weather, you just have to do it.
01:32:31
Speaker 4: So I planted all a whole new hedge about a week ago and they're singed, they're burnt to the cris just didn't survive.
01:32:37
Speaker 2: It can happen so easily, can't, I know, with weather like this. We've been talking about Welcome to Country. That was off the back of our chat that we had early this morning. Jay, you did a great interview. Let's go to garyot collins Wood, who wants to talk about it. Gary, good morning to you.
01:32:51
Speaker 12: Good morning, Tom, Good morning Jade.
01:32:53
Speaker 2: Hi.
01:32:53
Speaker 10: Yeah.
01:32:54
Speaker 12: Look, I think we've got to be careful. I don't wan the Welcome to Country, but I think we've got to be careful not to use it all the time. And what I mean by that is that when I was at work, we'd have a meeting in the morning and we'd have working to the country. There might be just six of us there. Then in the afternoon you'd go to another meeting and there was another welcome to the country. And I just think that and these people that were doing the welk in the country weren't indigenous, they were just there was one lady that was Asian. So it's just I don't know. I think you can get too much of something, a bit like the Big Bash, Tom. I think when we start off the Big Bash was great, you know, and then we've got sort of swamp with it, and then I think we've I think got sort of half the amount of games that we have now. So I just think we need to certain occasions. Yeah, that's just my opinion on us, not every time you go to a meet and you're having a workome to the country.
01:33:54
Speaker 2: I don't think your view would be that uncommon, to be honest, Gary, I think it probably reaches a point where, yeah, I think it's important, but I think that also, Rich is a saturation point, doesn't it, Jay, where people out there think you're shoving this down my throat.
01:34:08
Speaker 4: Too much of anything is too much and loses its meaning. So I think what Melbourne Storm are looking at doing by reducing the amount of times that they do welcome to country, Yeah, it means something, you know. I think when I go to the AFL Final series and you know, they make a real poignant moment of getting the guys to line up, you know, either side, and they do Welcome to Country and then they'll sing the national anthem and it's a ceremony. I think, when there's a big occasion, there is a time and a place for it. But every meeting, every time my plane leaves, I think the meaning behind it starts to lose it. We've got lots of messages coming through. Jay says, I don't need to be welcome to the country I'm born in. I'm Australian, simple and says good. No more does Australian taxpayers need to pay money for nationalities that their taxes give and gave a really good hand up, fed them, clothing, helped housing.
01:35:07
Speaker 3: Even when they message goes on and on and on.
01:35:10
Speaker 4: Some workplaces run indigenous courses for the staff. It's almost a history lesson. Wendy says, welcome to country is not the same as acknowledgment for first nations. No, So welcome to country is when an indigenous person stands up and welcomes to country, and the rule of thumb should be that only indigenous people do that. Acknowledgment of country is when you and I host an event and perhaps at the beginning of it, then we, you know, make the acknowledgment. We're standing on garner Land. Two very different things, but yeah, it's divisive at the moment. Going by the text messages, m'd say ninety five percent of people are saying, you know, we could possibly cut back.
01:35:48
Speaker 11: Five double a summer breakfast.
01:35:51
Speaker 10: Tom Wren and Jade Robren, we are.
01:35:53
Speaker 2: Well and truly on the home stretch. Now eight minutes to nine o'clock we're gonna check out how things are looking in terms of few watch it. It's better to be a member with RAA rewards, download the RAA app and start saving today. The Liberty at Hampstead Road, Clearview is a dollar fifty nine point five, so pretty good value there. Ex Convenience at Goodwood Road in Goodwin is the dollar sixty three point five and the AMPM at Frederick Road at West Lakes is a dollar sixty five point five. Cheapest diesel. The shell at Victoria Road, Larks Bay is a dollar sixty seven point nine, So there are some bargains to be had. You might just have to look around a little bit. Speaking of five double a breakfast will be done in a few minutes time, Jade. But Graham Goodings is going to be on mornings all week and he joins us in this studio. Now, Graham, good morning to you.
01:36:41
Speaker 16: Tom Jay, Good morning, g g It's good to be here, good to be here.
01:36:46
Speaker 3: Shirt this morning, it's very festive.
01:36:48
Speaker 16: Yeah, I probably should have saved it to the big day, shouldn't I. It sort of like when I put it on this morning it.
01:36:52
Speaker 5: Was a bit dark.
01:36:52
Speaker 16: I didn't what it was.
01:36:55
Speaker 2: It's a ripper.
01:36:56
Speaker 16: Yeah, we are on, aren't we. Anyone watching on the live stream.
01:37:00
Speaker 2: They can see what you've got to looks like.
01:37:02
Speaker 16: You have to be very careful of that.
01:37:04
Speaker 3: Well, it's where we're lucky that Tom's even got a shirt on in this weather. Normally normally take it off.
01:37:09
Speaker 16: I know, I've worked with him in the newsroom and it's not a pretty side.
01:37:13
Speaker 2: I've just taken off and grabs up what is going on here?
01:37:16
Speaker 16: Yeah, he makes more changes than well we won't go.
01:37:20
Speaker 4: Into that, So Gigi, right now, as of about twenty five minutes ago, fifteen thousand, nine hundred year twelve students.
01:37:27
Speaker 3: Would have clicked on and got their results. Oh really exciting.
01:37:30
Speaker 16: Yes, you can imagine the pent up feeling about it. You know, it's effectively the culmination of twelve thirteen years of your life and it's so important. But we're going to talk to the education when it's about the overall aspect and effect on South Australia. But we'll speak later with a child psychologist too, because I med a lot of students aren't going to get the results that were hoping for. And it isn't the end of the world coming from someone who is a total failure in the education rapped out during the year twelve and look at you. By all that was left was radio.
01:38:07
Speaker 2: Again.
01:38:08
Speaker 3: Look at us now.
01:38:10
Speaker 16: Don't say it too often, yeah, but it is true. I mean you might sort of see this is the end of the road. I didn't get what I wanted to get, but it can just open up whole new areas.
01:38:20
Speaker 2: It might just be a little detour exactly.
01:38:22
Speaker 16: And that's what life is full of, big tours and changes of direction.
01:38:25
Speaker 2: And overcoming adversity and resilience building all of that.
01:38:28
Speaker 16: Yeah, so we'll to speak with a chant psychologist. But kids, if you're listening, it's not the end of the road. It's just a new beginning. That's pretty exciting. We're going to look at southa Strada's biggest crime hotspots. Some disturbing reports coming out of Port Pirie and the little town of Davenport this morning. We're going to have a look at that, speaking with the crime Advocate Michael O'Connell and shallow Attorney General Josh t Does Adelade need a new stadium?
01:38:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so.
01:38:55
Speaker 11: Yeah.
01:38:56
Speaker 16: Remember the last election, the Liberals went.
01:39:00
Speaker 2: You're going to get a new stadium here back five.
01:39:01
Speaker 16: About seven hundred million dollars. It was torpedoed by the oppositions. At the opposition at the time, Peter malan Asker said no, but he's mister entrepreneur. Now, I reckon he probably thinks it's a good idea.
01:39:12
Speaker 4: I think if there's enough money to go around for the hospitals and roads first and foremost, and we can afford it, build it and they will come.
01:39:19
Speaker 23: Yeah.
01:39:19
Speaker 16: I mean if you sort of say, should you spend it? On hospitals and ramping or a new stadium. Of course, it's got to go to hospitals and ramping. But hospitals and ramping don't generate one dollar, you know, the cold light of day. That's right, don't generate one dollar. A stadium can generate millions, and from that millions you can pour it into the hospitals.
01:39:37
Speaker 3: That's right.
01:39:38
Speaker 16: Anyway, you want to get rid of me, and I've got to go anywhere.
01:39:42
Speaker 4: Never, No, thank you so much. You're coming up after nine o'clock. We're me talking Adelaide things. Gg because a lady in her eighties at around seven o'clock last night drove on to the o Barn. Unfortunately, just made the wrong decision. The police said today that she could possibly get fined and they're going to have a closer look at her license. I mean, obviously it was a mistake. You don't choose to drive down there. But it got us talking about Adelaide things. I thought of another one. We call lobster. What the rest of the country called lobster, we call it crayfish. Also pie floaters and fruitcakes.
01:40:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, that good South Australian things. Stoby Pole's was the other big one.
01:40:22
Speaker 16: We spoken.
01:40:22
Speaker 2: It's the name Brenton, the name Brenton. Heaps. We say good, heaps good.
01:40:27
Speaker 3: And it was heaps good. Spending the morning with you.
01:40:28
Speaker 2: It's been heaps amazing. I don't know if we say that, do we? What are some other Adelaide things? Eight double two three double O double A. We'd love to heat from you, folks, or you can send us a text zero double four eight zero eight thirteen ninety five. But we love our little Adelaide things, don't we. Fritz, Fritz and sauce.
01:40:45
Speaker 3: You said you liked jewels fried? Do you have it with eggs?
01:40:48
Speaker 10: Yeah?
01:40:49
Speaker 18: You do?
01:40:49
Speaker 3: So instead of the bacon, you'll throw the fritz in.
01:40:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, fritz. I don't mind bacon, but I'm not huge. I'd rather fritz than bacon.
01:40:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay.
01:40:58
Speaker 2: And I like fried bread. Have you ever done that?
01:41:00
Speaker 11: Oh?
01:41:00
Speaker 3: Never? What do you mean?
01:41:01
Speaker 10: So?
01:41:02
Speaker 2: Like you dip it in milk and then you have fried in the fry pan French toes.
01:41:06
Speaker 3: So you wip up the.
01:41:07
Speaker 2: Egg and the milk, and don't do it with egg, just milk, just milk.
01:41:10
Speaker 3: How does that even cook? Wouldn't that be soggy?
01:41:12
Speaker 2: It's quite soggy. But then it becomes like, all fried, it's beautiful. Okay, I had not fried.
01:41:18
Speaker 4: I've done French does with maple syrup, but no.
01:41:21
Speaker 3: Where were you. Do you remember the day when you got your face results?
01:41:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was asleep. I was asleep. Mom and Dad waked me up and I ended up scraping and I think I got in by point zero five for journalism. So it was it was a happy morning for me. But then I was ringing around all my mates to find out how they went, and you know, it was it's a big morning. It's a big day.
01:41:42
Speaker 3: It is a big morning.
01:41:43
Speaker 2: So it's a lot of excitement for all the kids and families, you know, like you said, it's the whole village.

00:00:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, good morning, and welcome to five double a breakfast. It is Monday to sixteenth of December. It is eight minutes past six. It is Jade Robren and Tom Wren. And I'll tell you what it is summer breakfast, because right now you'd be forgiven for sweltering something like thirty four degrees. Jade, good morning to you. Great to see your smiling face again, and we're going to be doing it all week.
00:00:26
Speaker 3: Indeed we are. Good morning Tommy.
00:00:28
Speaker 4: When I walked out of the house this morning, you're hit by that wave of heat. Jumped in the car and it was a balmie. Thirty four degrees.
00:00:36
Speaker 3: I loved.
00:00:37
Speaker 4: I loved pants saying in the news just them there'll be a late cool change in thirty eight degrees. Hey, yo, YoY, summer has landed. But I'll take this weather as opposed to this time last year when it was raining. So we would love to hear from you guys. How have you kept call over the weekend. I literally laid on the couch all day yesterday. I had a bucket next to me with a flannel and I just patted myself down and I binged a Netflix show. That was the only thing you could do yesterday.
00:01:04
Speaker 2: It was that kind of weather there was, and I was watching the cricket and enjoyed it. Travis Head dominating. We'll talk about that, yes, a little bit later. But then I was at the Carrols last night at Central Galley City Park. Huge turnout in the end, it was fractionally cooler than I think we thought it was going to be, so they ended up getting about twenty thousand people there. So it was a great night.
00:01:23
Speaker 3: But that's brilliant.
00:01:24
Speaker 2: It was hot.
00:01:25
Speaker 3: What's your favorite Christmas Carol?
00:01:29
Speaker 2: Felis Navidad? Is that?
00:01:30
Speaker 3: Yeah?
00:01:32
Speaker 4: That was the time I said last week on the show, and I was talking to the boys that my favorite Carol was Santa Baby, but that's.
00:01:37
Speaker 3: More of a Christmas song.
00:01:39
Speaker 2: Oh okay, so Carol. Yeah, are you a Christmas person? A lot of people aren't.
00:01:43
Speaker 5: Yes.
00:01:44
Speaker 3: Yes.
00:01:45
Speaker 4: I start playing my Christmas carols as of November and drive my family absolutely round the Twist. But I've eased off this year because you know, you jump onto Spotify and you start playing the Christmas carol list, but then they'll throw in thein Bieber and then you know all these fancy new kids that are bringing out a Christmas.
00:02:04
Speaker 2: Carriag your old school.
00:02:05
Speaker 4: I'm massively old school. Give me being Crosby any day, any day.
00:02:10
Speaker 3: But no, And you had a couple of Christmas party hostings. Tell us about this. This is a good party, this is a good idea.
00:02:16
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, so Friday and Saturday night, so I was at the convention Center. It was enchanted Christmas and it's basically a lot of businesses. Even people do it socially, I guess for those that don't really know, perhaps you know where to go or what to do, and they end up just going to the convention center. So there was twelve hundred people on Friday night, more than two thousand people there on Saturday night.
00:02:37
Speaker 3: So so what all businesses that?
00:02:39
Speaker 4: Or maybe you're employed by yourself, a self employed person, you don't know how you don't know what to do for Christmas? You can buy a ticket and go to.
00:02:45
Speaker 2: This, go to the convention center and just have a you know, all the bands are laid out for you. I was your MC not too much of Me, which was nice, and you throw it to just different bands and lots of dancing got pretty loose on the Saturday night.
00:02:57
Speaker 3: You know what I'm getting vibes of. I movie offers Christmas party.
00:03:02
Speaker 4: Yes, we're just starring Jennifer Aniston, and that gets very loose. Yeah, I'm getting signs of that.
00:03:07
Speaker 2: Yeah. And it was it was Christmas. People were partying, so good vibes. But Saturday night was a good part. Friday night was too. But two thousand people all out for a good time, a lot of people meeting people for the first time.
00:03:19
Speaker 4: There's a good vibe around town. Everyone's out and about. After the Test cricket, it kicks it off. We obviously had our Christmas party on the Test weekend and ever since it's been party after party, Ela.
00:03:31
Speaker 3: It's alive. It's such a good feeling out there.
00:03:33
Speaker 2: And it's a good point you make about the weather. I reckon this time last year it was so mild and wet, whereas this year it has been hot, really hot, maybe a bit too far and expact to the.
00:03:43
Speaker 4: Days were growing up as a kid, where it was it was it was boiling hot. But like those days, But can you send us some text messages on the text line? Oh double four eight eight thirteen ninety five, we've got a couple coming in. Adam and Sue have messaged in thirty five degrees here in Lockleigh right now. It's honestly like a tinderbox. And that's honestly what it felt like walking out of the house.
00:04:04
Speaker 3: And I was like, whoa, that's like a pizza oven. It hits you like a ton of bricks.
00:04:08
Speaker 4: Yeah, call in eight double two three, double o double.
00:04:11
Speaker 3: Oh how did you keep call over the weekend?
00:04:13
Speaker 4: Lamroue and Moomba are going to hit forty five degrees today.
00:04:18
Speaker 2: No, thanks, it's going to be warm. Yeah, it would have been an uncomfortable sleep if you're tossing and turning and kicking the sheets off. It's with good reason. Jay, We've got a big show on today too. There's a plenty coming up on the program.
00:04:29
Speaker 3: Yeah we do.
00:04:30
Speaker 4: School leavers are getting their exams online from eight thirty this morning. Good luck to everybody. And can I just say I was so crap at school. I really didn't do very well.
00:04:40
Speaker 3: No I was, No, I really really was. Yes, I hated school. And it's okay.
00:04:45
Speaker 4: It just if you don't get what you are thinking you're gonna get, it's okay. There's other avenues, there's other ways, And I just I feel for school levers at this time because they put so much stress. So sometimes I think us parents put a lot of stress on kids as well, that there's other avenues and you know, there's other ways, So don't beat yourself up if you don't get what you did planned on getting.
00:05:10
Speaker 3: But we would also.
00:05:11
Speaker 4: Love to hear from any parents out there and kids after eight thirty, once you've clicked on and you've got your results or videos. That's what I also love that, you know, everyone starts putting, you know, their social media posts up and it's a happy time.
00:05:24
Speaker 3: It's exciting time.
00:05:25
Speaker 2: It is, isn't it. I always old enough that we got ours in the mail, so we didn't get them online, and I was sort of sleeping through my parents wake me up. I was like, leave me alone, and got it in that way. But it is. It's twelve months of hard work or fifteen years of schoolwork, you know, coming to fruition. So good luck to all the year twelves opening up their results today. We're also going to be talking to Andy en Wright, who's the editor of Will's magazine, about the Will's Carabar a year can you guess I'm hopeless with cars.
00:05:54
Speaker 6: Yeah.
00:05:55
Speaker 4: Is it a family car, a little bit of sports car and suv electric? I reckon, I'm going to go. I reckon it could be an electric one this year. Yeah, and I'm not a fan of electric, so.
00:06:09
Speaker 2: Just got a hunch.
00:06:10
Speaker 3: Just got a hunch. Yeah, it's always a family suv ish So I don't know. We'll see, we'll see.
00:06:16
Speaker 4: Another really controversial one we're going to be talking about today. Over the weekend, Melbourne Storm came out and said that they're going to consult with their community about welcome to country and acknowledgment of country. It was first reported that they were going to stop it all together, but they came out and said no, no, pump the brakes, not necessarily. We're just going to consult and perhaps that's where it lands. We're actually going to talk to Randall Ross, he's an indigenous elder up in Queensland, because he actually put a stop to all acknowledgment and welcome to country in his shire because he said enough's enough. They're being overused, people are making money off them and they're an insult to our community.
00:06:57
Speaker 3: So enough's enough, and he wants.
00:06:59
Speaker 4: To see it stopped not everywhere, but in certain places at certain times, certain sporting events. Do you agree with that? Is there an overkill of welcome and acknowledgment to country? Eight double two to three double double ow. And we're gonna be talking pandas and elephants.
00:07:17
Speaker 3: We've lots of cute little fairy friends coming our way.
00:07:21
Speaker 2: We've got it all covered this morning, don't we We're everywhere cannot wait for it. It's a quarter past six here on five double A breakfast. News headlines are coming up next. We'll have all the latest sporting stories as well. We're up and about here on five double A Breakfast. Jade Robren and Tom Wren with.

00:07:40
Speaker 2: Monday, the sixteenth of December. Warm start to your day, Jay. Plenty of headlines about the place, also.
00:07:46
Speaker 4: Most definitely including extreme fire danger warnings all around our city and our beautiful state today. Call in eight double two to three double O double ow. How are you keeping? Call in your neck of the woods. Sue messaged us, saying, morning five. Because I just put the sprinkler on between my two averaries. Very happy birds having showers, great to hear you both on. Hello, so great to have you on. I pot my sprinklers on in the backyard last night and I had reckon. I had about four maggies flying and they did a little bit of a happy dance in the backyard.
00:08:15
Speaker 3: They were like, hall loujyah.
00:08:17
Speaker 2: We've got magpies at our place. We took over a deceased to stay, a beautiful old guy who was in his nineties, and I reckon, he used to feed the magpie. So we get a lot of them. And I love it when they roam around. We love the magpie being about. It's so cool.
00:08:31
Speaker 4: So they're a lover of you because if they were swooping the back of your hair, it means that you're not.
00:08:36
Speaker 2: So I think they've got good memories too.
00:08:37
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, so absolute. They're very very smart.
00:08:41
Speaker 4: Yeah they're good. They remember love the maggies. Let's get today's headlines. A group of seven tourists have reportedly been hospitalized after a suspected alcohol poisoning in Fiji. Four of them are Australian tourists. Local media is reporting seven guests presented to hospital with nausea, vomiting, and neurological SIPs simpt after consuming a cocktail at a resort on the Coral coast. The country's Minister of hell says the affected patients age between eighteen to fifty six years.
00:09:11
Speaker 2: So they're talking.
00:09:12
Speaker 4: About methanol again here. So very similar to our story that we've been talking about in Thailand where sadly those two Victorian.
00:09:19
Speaker 3: Girls lost their lives.
00:09:21
Speaker 4: I've holidayed in Bali many times and there's a drink there called a rack. It's their local drink, and I'll never forget this. Ben and I were touring one time, this is pre kids up in the hills, and he poured us a shot and I smelled it. I was sober, and so you can, if you're sober and you just at a restaurant, smell this stuff a mile away. But I often think if you're in a party environment, you've had a few drinks already, it's loud, the smell of alcohol. You're not picking up on this. And I swear to this day if me and him had had that.
00:09:58
Speaker 3: We would have ended up in hospital.
00:10:00
Speaker 4: It is lethal, this stuff, and you don't know what's in it, and so you've just got to be so careful.
00:10:06
Speaker 2: It's scary isn't it true. Yeah, you've just got to have your wits about you and you know, particularly when you're in a foreign country.
00:10:12
Speaker 7: Mm hmm.
00:10:13
Speaker 2: Just got to be so careful. We've seen it twice down.
00:10:15
Speaker 3: That's tree it out of a bottle or drink it out of a can.
00:10:18
Speaker 7: Yep.
00:10:18
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
00:10:19
Speaker 4: A woman taken hostage during the twenty fourteen Link Cafe siege says everybody carries memories about the day. It's been a decade since eighteen people were hurled inside the cafe by gunman Man Monis in Sydney's CBD Cafe manager Tory Johnson and mother and barrister Katrina Dawson were killed. Survivor Luise Hope sustained shrapnel wounds to her foot in abdomen when police stormed the building. She says the day left a chilling scar on the city.
00:10:45
Speaker 8: I always ask people where they were that day, and invariably everyone can tell me where they were, and it happened to all of us.
00:10:53
Speaker 4: Actually, Irish pubs in the New United Kingdom are running out of Guinness after limits were imposed on supply ahead of Christmas. The company capped the amount pubs can buy of the drink because of exceptional customer demand from customers.
00:11:07
Speaker 3: The surgeon.
00:11:08
Speaker 4: Guinness popularity is due to gen Z jen Z, who often post pictures of the iconic pint on social media due to its esthetic appeals.
00:11:17
Speaker 2: Fat I've had a couple of Guinness when I went traveling to Europe. That was twenty years ago. Now remember having a couple and it was like eating a meal. Oh yeah, they're so thick, and you know it takes an effort to drink one. We've got a.
00:11:30
Speaker 3: Couple of the blackcerns in our fridge. Ben loves one.
00:11:33
Speaker 4: Really cool, yes, and I actually like pouring them. You pour it and it comes to a little marble in the can and.
00:11:40
Speaker 3: The big head on it. But it is yeah, it feel very filming.
00:11:44
Speaker 2: You know you've had one when you've drunk one.
00:11:46
Speaker 4: But how do you have a pub with no beer? How do you run out of Guinness? That's un Australian it' sun United Kingdom tellstre is donating one dollar the Kids Helpline for every call mate to Santa from payphones today. Close to eighth calls were made to Kids Helpline last December two hundred. On Christmas Day, the Helpline's chief Executive Tracy Adams says it's an important initiative.
00:12:09
Speaker 6: Well, it's great you can go along to the telstraphone box and simphony deal hash forty six forty six, forty six and make that all important call to Staner and as part of that one dollar will get donated to Kids' helpline.
00:12:23
Speaker 4: New data reveals a federal budget will be in the red as the Australian economy is affected by the slowdown in China. Figures to be released in Wednesday's midyear budget update will show mining revenue as expected to drop by one hundred billion dollars over the next four years. The downgrade means the federal government will collect less in company tax receipts, pushing the budget into deficits. A century's old river redgum is on the decline in Clarence Park, with the community fearing for its health and council now investigating. The iconic tree on Overbreed Drive was planted more than two hundred years ago, but the local count is investigating the vegetation along the upper branch that's becoming sparser. Locals don't want the tree cut down and hope the council can protect it. This thing is massive.
00:13:11
Speaker 3: Have you seen it smack bang in the middle of the street.
00:13:14
Speaker 4: It is beautiful, but yeah, these things are very dangerous. I've been in the backyard before with a gum and at any minute you can hear almost like an explosion and boom those the branches drop.
00:13:26
Speaker 3: So they can be quite dangerous.
00:13:27
Speaker 2: Well, particularly in the heat, the extreme heat. They get under a lot of stress, and you know they are. My parents have got some huge gums in their backyard and I think they're now. They can't do anything with them because they're protected protected. So yeah, they are potentially though very dangerous. You've got to keep an eye on them.
00:13:44
Speaker 4: Sydney is now the home of the first clouded leopard cub born in Australia. There are just ten thousand clouded leopards remaining in the wild. The Wildcat Conservation Centers Ben Brutton says it won't be long before the public can come and see her.
00:13:58
Speaker 9: It's still now that hospital moment because she's still quite small. But I hoping by the end of January, remember the public when they come out to visit the center'll be able to see her in our little cub nursery and Panda watch.
00:14:10
Speaker 2: It's pandemonium.
00:14:11
Speaker 4: We got the two pandas. They touched down over the weekend here in Adelaide. They're heading into quarantine. I want to ask if Will Goodings was here, he'd be rolling his eyes right now because he's so over the pandas. He doesn't get into them at all. Which whenever something on Instagram pops off about cute and cuddly pandas, I just I just attach his name to it, Little Pope poke to Bear. I'm going to turn him one day. He's going to love these pandas well.
00:14:39
Speaker 2: Maybe these ones will be a bit more active in inverted comments than wang wing and thirty.
00:14:44
Speaker 4: Little little pitter patter of panda feet, that's hoping. Is anyone excited out there? Does anyone give two rats about these pandas coming? Because I know the media are going crazy over them. Eight double two three double oh double low? Does anyone care?
00:14:59
Speaker 2: And I I was speaking it's a good question. I was speaking to someone a few people down at zoo about it. I think they basically have a twenty four hour breeding window.
00:15:06
Speaker 10: For the year.
00:15:07
Speaker 3: It's teeny tiny.
00:15:08
Speaker 2: It's so difficult to get everything all the starts to aligns.
00:15:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, and she might have a headache that morning.
00:15:13
Speaker 2: That's right, you know. Yeah, or he you know, he's a bit too tired, wants to just have a sleep, that's right, you know, could.
00:15:18
Speaker 4: Have stayed up too late watching the sport, the cricket, speaking of which I know that two centuries happened.
00:15:24
Speaker 2: Yes, well, we'll get into a sports update right now. Jade all thanks to Glider Old Doors, Colours, custom Design, any house, any style, Gladiol Garard's Doors, Glaterol dot com dot a you. We usually do our winners and losers on a Monday, and we'll start with the cricket because Travis head he is on fire at the moment. He's made three Test centuries in his last six innings. Now I think against India they nickname him. I think Ravi Shastri. See yesterday, Travis headache in India. He's he's dominating first time in his career. He's made back to back centuries in consecutive innings. He's now got nine for his career. Let's have a listen to the moment. He brought it up yesterday, he'll come back and Chavis had complete another century.
00:16:08
Speaker 3: They make it three.
00:16:11
Speaker 11: One hundred percent box office.
00:16:14
Speaker 4: Chavis had back to back centuries for the first time in his career.
00:16:19
Speaker 2: It's becoming a familiar celebration. Audio there Thanks to seven. Was having a discussion with a few cricket friends yesterday Jade talking about the best ever crickets to come out of this state. I think the Chapel Brothers you have to have up there, Don Bradman, I mean he's the greatest of all time. I think we claim him. I reckon Jason Gillespie two hundred and fifty nine wickets. I think Travis Head right now he's probably of all times. South Australian cricket is Test cricket, he'd be in the top five. What about Buffer where he is there? But I think with all juris and I love Booth, I think he made five Test centuries. I think Trav's gone past.
00:16:55
Speaker 3: He is excellent, isn't he?
00:16:57
Speaker 2: So he's dominating. He's probably one of the best players in the world right now for a new dad.
00:17:02
Speaker 4: I take my hat off to him because I don't know if lack of sleep, I don't know if he's sensational and he seems like a riper blow too.
00:17:11
Speaker 2: He's an absolute champion. I think Jade. Actually, it's funny you mentioned all that three years ago he lost his Cricket Australia contract. I think he came back and players like Steve Smith, Marnus Labashane, for them, their jam is to hit as many cricket balls. If they could hit ten thousand in a day, they would. I think Travis went through that for a while and then went, you know what, that's not me. So he pulled back and he actually says he does better when he's fresh off a break, like when he's spent some time with the kids. Yes, he does the training he needs to, but he's better when he's just you know, not into it as much as perhaps players like them are. So he's more rounded now, he's a chilled, a bit more chilled, and he's in the form of his life. He's thirty one later this month and he's dominating so Australia in a great position.
00:17:55
Speaker 4: Hey, I want to ask you because it was overshadowed somewhat by an on air comment from Fox calling Bumra a primate. On air, it was a bit it's been called a racial slur. She came out and said that he was the MVP most Valuable Primate.
00:18:13
Speaker 3: We've got some audio on it. Let's play it.
00:18:15
Speaker 11: He's the MVP, isn't the most valuable primate?
00:18:19
Speaker 3: So that was issue, go, well, why would you say that?
00:18:23
Speaker 4: I get why she's in hot water because that was completely unnecessary.
00:18:28
Speaker 2: It seems like a strange thing to say.
00:18:29
Speaker 4: Well, I don't know that you can take it any other way than a racial slur, can you. I mean, I don't know if anyone knows that it means something else. I'd like to hear from you, but I'd say she's in quite a bit of trouble.
00:18:42
Speaker 2: So that was on Fox. Fortunately everyone knows what MVP is, most abediable Player. I just leave it at that. So other winners Travis Head, Steve Smith obviously one hundred, which was outstanding best for him and first and I think twenty four innings. Adelaide United. If they win or draw this coming weekend against Sydney, it'll be their best ever start to a season. They are flying at the moment, undefeated so far this season, four nil against Central Coast on the weekend. The Adelaide thirty six is they broke a streak of four straight losses. So that was good. They had to win on the weekend against the New Zealand Breakers. Speaking of the NBL, Bryce Cotton first player and over thirty years I think in the NBL. To score forty points in four straight games, he is just on fire. So keep going Bryce for the Wildcats. The Brisbane weather, that's the only shame with the Test match at the moment, we've got twenty meals I think forecast for today. We lost most of Day one as well, so that's disappointing.
00:19:32
Speaker 4: So how many overs do they have to play before it's I think it's thirteen overs before they've got to give people their money back, don't they.
00:19:39
Speaker 2: Is that right?
00:19:40
Speaker 10: Yeah?
00:19:41
Speaker 2: So yeah, they might not get that many today. And Manchester City another loss in the English Premier League on the weekend. They are nowhere at the moment. They are really struggling. That is it all thanks to gladder Old Garrard's Doors newsroom now will be back after the six thirty.
00:19:54
Speaker 11: News five Double A Summer Breakfast.
00:19:57
Speaker 10: Tom Wren and Jade Robren.
00:20:02
Speaker 2: With you all week here on five Double A Brecky.
00:20:05
Speaker 4: We most certainly will and we've got lots happening on the show today eight thirty year twelve students get their results back. Good luck to each and every one of you out there. We're asking you how are you keeping cool? And what's the temperature in your neck of the woods. We've got a couple of texts coming in Barry Down. Elizabeth says that it is thirty four degrees there. And Andrew's texting because we've been talking about the elephants that are arriving at heading their way to Minato Zoo.
00:20:31
Speaker 3: And also the cute and cuddly little pandas.
00:20:33
Speaker 4: Andrew says, what I like the most about the transportation of the elephant and the pandas is the aircraft that fly them in and out of there. I go down to watch at the airport. There were stacks of people that came in and watched the panthers fly in yesterday.
00:20:47
Speaker 3: It's a big deal.
00:20:47
Speaker 2: People love it, don't they. The other thing too, we were talking about Jade. Just before six thirty. We had our winners and losers, and the big winner sporting wise over the weekend was Travis Head. He's ninth Test century and I talked to you about him perhaps breaking into be our top five South Australian Test cricketer. Of all time, and he's still got a long way to go in his career. But I've got Johnny on the line who wants to talk about best batters from South Australia. Johnny, good morning to you.
00:21:13
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just just not mention David Books in that category.
00:21:18
Speaker 2: Of yeah, yeah, isn't it funny? John? All of our best batters, or a lot of them in the last thirty forty years, aside from the Chapels, Darren Lehman, Wayne Phillips, David Hooks, Travis Head, all lefties, yeah, you know, and all and generally all stroke players. They just look good, the left handers and they make their runs quickly. But you're right, I remember that what thirty four ball century in the Shield Game from David Hooks at Adelaide Oval. He was he was a hell of a player, so good yeah, and and lost far too soon unfortunately.
00:21:56
Speaker 3: And he holds a couple of records.
00:21:58
Speaker 4: Fastest first class history, set the record in nineteen eighty two. He is his batting average tests thirty four point three six, ODI's twenty four point two nine, first Class forty three point nine to nine list A twenty seven point five eight. His highest score in a Test match was one hundred and forty three. He was an absolute gentleman coming through as a young reporter. He was the coach in Victoria and always went out of his way to come over and say, good a Jade, anything you need. I know, young starting out and wrapped his arms around you're just knowing that you know, he knew my folks, he knew that you're from SA. You had that common bond. One of the greatest people have ever had the privilege of working alongside. And I will never ever forget that Dale was in the Melbourne newsroom and we got that phone call and strangely enough a couple of my mum's friends were out with him that night that it happened, and one of the saddest days.
00:23:01
Speaker 2: Just cruel. Yeah, it was two thousand and three oh four, wasn't it so so sad? He was a fantastic broadcaster and also had iconic moments, very funny and five fours in a I reckon in a centenary Test for Australia, which was another massive moment against England back in seventies.
00:23:19
Speaker 4: I want to tell you what he liked. A beer or two. We've been talking about a beer or two. Guinness is running very very dry in the United Kingdom. Dave in Redwood Park calls in, Hello, Dave, do you like a Guinness?
00:23:33
Speaker 12: I don't mind want to sell anyway?
00:23:34
Speaker 7: First thing, first, the nat Why did you have on?
00:23:37
Speaker 13: What did you have on on Stuturday morning?
00:23:39
Speaker 7: Everybody out there Christmas gear on and you and your chinos and playing shirt.
00:23:43
Speaker 2: I know, I know. We played in a Christmas Ambrose golf competition and Dave, you've rightly pointed out everyone got into it. We just rocked up and we were like the Motley Crew. We all had different bits and bobs on, didn't we And not surprisingly we didn't do that.
00:23:56
Speaker 3: Well, hang on a minute, you had pants on?
00:23:59
Speaker 1: No?
00:23:59
Speaker 10: I think?
00:24:00
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, he had ginos and just a plain shirts on. Anyway, the guineas phenomenon, what's happening is there's a thing where you call split the G. So basically your first actual drink, you have to drink the guineas down to the middle of the g. So basically everybody's taking an absolute huge swig of their guineas and trying to called split the G. So that apparently the Guiness family or the Guiness corporation are gonna move the guineas signs further up the glass actually producing glasses with the guineas further up because people are just literally going straight for it. Every I was in I was in the Fox and Perk in the local English bubu at the teacher and there was a group of lads there and they basically they spent all afternoon trying to split the G. You're quite funny watching them.
00:24:52
Speaker 3: And so do they time themselves? Is it the fastest?
00:24:54
Speaker 14: No?
00:24:55
Speaker 7: No, no. So basically it's the first drink that you you have use it to the lip, the.
00:24:59
Speaker 5: G on the glass.
00:25:01
Speaker 2: You've got to get down to it in the first gold. So they're thinking about bringing it up so that people don't drink as much in the first guy.
00:25:07
Speaker 3: And then they're all filming themselves for TikTok, are they Yeah?
00:25:10
Speaker 13: Yeah, and trying to split the G.
00:25:12
Speaker 7: If you now we've talked about it. If your iPhones there, you everything you've turned on, it's a love videos of people trying to split the G.
00:25:21
Speaker 3: Split the G.
00:25:22
Speaker 2: Wow, never heard of that. That's thank you for bringing in and explaining that's great. Thanks for that, Dave, And I'll make sure I'm not wearing Chino's and a shirt, but yeah, split the g.
00:25:31
Speaker 3: Is it too early for us to try and split the GH?
00:25:34
Speaker 2: I think it's too well. We could try after eight thirty. Yeah, maybe after it.
00:25:37
Speaker 3: It'll be midday somewhere.
00:25:39
Speaker 4: An indigenous community in North Queensland Tommy they voted to ban Welcome to Countries on their ancestral land because the ceremonies are embarrassing and insulting. Now Melbourne Storm over the weekend, the rugby league team has taken steps to chat with their community about Welcome to Country. The media reports earlier in the over the weekend said that they were going to ban it can all together. They've come out to just say, hang on a minute, No that's not quite right, but we want to consult our community. We'll certainly be pulling back. Spokesman for the Juror People, Randal Ross, joins us on the line. Now, Randal, thank you very much for joining us. Can you explain firstly in your community why you've decided to welcome band Welcome to Countries?
00:26:22
Speaker 13: Yeah, good morning, everybody, just take there for Yeah. So what we're doing is a part of in the Bertican in North Queensland. Now we have a cultural protocol and everybody knows welcome the country is a part of that cultural protocol and that fits within our law system, which we call mannerisms. And this is where what's happening is that you've got people coming in but aren't actually blood connected to the land, but they're down as preferred supply is for governments and other agencies to perform the welcome the country. And this is where many of the traditional owners feel that this has been their cultural obligations are being ignored, but also it's been breached because people are being paid thousands of dollars to do a smoking ceremony or a welcome the country and they're not even from country.
00:27:26
Speaker 2: Do you think it's reflective of how the community is feeling random? Do you think people in the community and folks that you're talking to feel that where it's being overdone the welcome to country?
00:27:39
Speaker 5: Yeah?
00:27:39
Speaker 13: Well and truly in our community. And that's why I'm only speaking for our community, but I can't talk to either you know about other countries or other nations or tribes, but this isn't ours. Yeah, definitely, and this is where our elders have spoken up and said enough's enough, because they don't realize the cultural harm not only that creating, but also the punishment that can come back and affect them and their families. And this is where elders have stated, look, we need to put a stop to this, you know, and it's only for a period of time until we saw through all of this, and then eventually, like I said, you know, they will look at how to proceed down the track as a part of the proper ceremonies. The other thing is that they haven't banned the acknowledgment and they've confirmed that they welcome acknowledgments because that can be performed by anybody and everybody, but it's not to be for monetary or gifts. You know, that's a process and that should be an obligation, you know, as a part of our law under mannerisms where you know you're paying that respect. It's at least you're still paying that respect the country and their ancestors.
00:28:53
Speaker 4: Randall, there's regular people who perform welcome to country during AFL games. I'm sure you've watched many and there's a you know, quite a considerable amount of times where we have welcome to country. Would they be paid for that, And how does that sit with you knowing that this has been commercialized so much.
00:29:12
Speaker 13: Yeah, look, you know I haven't been in that position, and I can't comment in relation todays, but obviously you know that there's going to be some sort of benefits. But you're right, our welcome the countries has been well and truly commercialized. And this is where you know, once upon a time, even when we cross countries, it's not about payment, you know, so we have a gift system or in place, and you know when people are crossing your countries the other tribes, they would normally present a gift and you would present a gift back. You know, I see a lot of ceremonies and I see, yeah, people are getting paid, but I don't see them returning gifts back, which is a proper cultural obligation, you know, and that's why it can be disturbing. And you know, you wonder why, what, you know, how are they honoring our cultural obligation side of things when we're supposed to give back as well.
00:30:09
Speaker 4: A lot, you know, when you're flying in to you know, on virgin flights and contest flights, so they'll acknowledge the two country and also some meetings. I've been in a lot of work meetings where they'll they'll have a well, you know, welcome or acknowledgment to country, and it seems, you know, that we're doing it a lot, and I feel that it's it's losing its meaning.
00:30:31
Speaker 3: Do you feel that as well?
00:30:34
Speaker 13: Yeah, Look, I've traveled on many planes and many flights. I'm always for work. But look, I have noticed and I've witnessed, you know, many of the hostesses you know, doing a welcome the country. But I don't feel like it's you know, even though they're acknowledging the country, the thing is, you know, they're just reading it out as a part of the process, not understanding what the country is about. Who are they acknowledging, you know, who's on the land where they're coming from. What's the history of that land, you know, So it's just a touchdown wherever they are, but they still have no understanding of that local tribe, you know, and that that can be very disrespectful.
00:31:14
Speaker 3: It's Melbourne Storm.
00:31:14
Speaker 4: As I mentioned that they're going to discuss with their community to perhaps reduce the amount of welcome to countries. Do you think that more people around the country need to do that.
00:31:26
Speaker 13: That's really well and truly up to because those communities because like I said, and there's an example there, you know in Melbourne where Melbourne people want to sit down and discuss this and they have every right you know, because of their land, it's their country, but they need to talk to and that's where I think, you know, businesses should talk to those that are from the land. And like I said, it's you know, they've blood descendants. It's not people that aren't connected to the land or not blood descendants. And that's where the issue comes in because our elders said that the ceremonies are being performed wrong and they can see people getting sick because of it. And that's why enough's enough, you know, until they sought through, like I said, our cultural business here in North Queensland.
00:32:10
Speaker 3: So how when is the right time to do it?
00:32:15
Speaker 13: You know, like I said, when you're meeting new people of people you know on your land coming to your land. If people come to you and say, oh, you know, can turn one please greet like I had, I'll use an example here. I had a senior law man from Darwen come to visit Townsville and he asked before he come, he needs to meet another another law man, but also to be welcome from the traditional owner here on country.
00:32:39
Speaker 5: You know.
00:32:39
Speaker 13: So that's a proach, that was a correct process because here is a senior law senior boss man as a part of coming the country, and he knew he had to be welcome just to come on country. So there, you know, that's why I said there is cultural times and of course you're going to have your business times. And the thing about it too is you want to make sure people are safe on country when across the country, or even when they're building on country. You know, it's important to understand where they're building too as well, because I know that you know there are times that many have to perform cleansing and houses because of where they built. And that's why it's important to understand the country first. And that's why you've got to still sit down with your traditional owners to understand that country. And that's where your blood descenders come in and they share that knowledge and just you know, to make sure that people are safe, and that's our priorities because we want everyone to be together, we want everyone to live together, and we know today in Australia, we're becoming a multicultural society, so we still have to educate and help people understand, you know, moving upon, you know, across our lands, so we want them to be safe in their families.
00:33:40
Speaker 4: Randal, thank you so much for your time, Indigenous leader Randall Ross there eight double two three double o double oh. It is a very sensitive topic, Tommy, but I would like to hear from our beautiful listeners out there.
00:33:53
Speaker 3: Do you agree with Randal?
00:33:55
Speaker 4: I mean, he's decided in his community to stop it. It's an insult to his people, believing it's just been commercialized. Now people are making thousands of dollars out of it and it's losing its meaning.
00:34:06
Speaker 2: Zero double four eight zero eight thirty ninety five is the text line, Jade. A few are already coming through sensitive topic, but I refuse to acknowledge the welcome to country. My grandparents were born here, so where else is my country? That's from Sue, Welcome to country, even on KO Sports on flights way over it, as I'm sure the silent majority are. That's from Rick at Ordinger Beach. Keep those text messages coming. Let's continue to the Weather Bureau. Jenny Horbatt is on the line for us. Jenny, good morning to you. It's been a very hot night. I think we've got as what low is only twenty nine degrees. It was a hot one.
00:34:38
Speaker 14: Yeah, that's twenty nine point six was a minimum and that was actually last night at about hulf outs ten. So yeah, pretty pretty warm overnight with those temperatures in the thirties. And currently we are sitting on thirty point thirty three point two at the West Terrace night a pure of observation site, and looking at a maximum temperature of thirty eight degrees in the city of forty one for Elizabeth, a little bit molder there on the coast, around thirty six thirty seven forty degrees forecast for Mount Barker. But we do have that cold change coming through. It's moving across from the Wa border as we speak. We are expecting it here in the city maybe around lunchtime. Might take a little bit to take the edge off that off the heat through there, but a much cooler day coming up tomorrow. Looking at around twenty six degrees today though it is essentially looking like a dry change, but as it comes through, we couldn't rule out a shower or two, or even a bit of a gusty thunderstorm as it comes through. So it's a bit of a watch this space. So that is very hit and miss, very patchy with that shower and thunderstorm activity. But like I said, we've got relief coming through that maximum twenty six on Tuesday, that minimum sixteen, so better sleeping weather through there and temperatures hovering around the high twenties or low thirties as we head into the end of the week.
00:35:51
Speaker 2: There great stuff, looking forward to that cool change. Just after lunchtime, Jenny, thanks so much. Thanks see time this morning. Janni's Jenny or that there from the bureau.

What are some Adelaide things or you can tell in double four eight oh eight thirteen ninety five.
00:43:03
Speaker 3: We are in for an.
00:43:04
Speaker 4: Absolute scorcher today, Tommy, thirty eight degrees. We didn't quite hit forty degrees yesterday in some parts of the country, well in our state actually Lamroue and also Moomber they're in for a forty five degree date there. How do you even keep cool?
00:43:20
Speaker 10: Yeah?
00:43:20
Speaker 2: That is so difficult, isn't it. We did hear from the weather Bureau though, just before seven o'clock, Jade, and it sounds like that cool change is going to come after lunchtime, so looking forward to a little bit cooler. It's still going to be pretty dry. May be a chery or too. She's saying that we're going to be back to the mid to high twenties tomorrow, which is a welcome relief, I'm sure for a lot of.
00:43:38
Speaker 4: People now this time of Year. There's always the best ofs that come out. We can exclusively reveal the Will's Car of the Year. Joining us now from Will's Magazine is editor Andy Enright.
00:43:52
Speaker 3: Good morning, Andy, good morning.
00:43:55
Speaker 5: How are you?
00:43:55
Speaker 3: We're excellent? Drum roll please, And the.
00:43:59
Speaker 18: Car is.
00:44:01
Speaker 5: The Wheels Car of the Year for twenty twenty four is the high end die Ionic five.
00:44:06
Speaker 3: N tell us more. What's it? What's so special about it?
00:44:10
Speaker 5: It's quite a remarkable car. Really, it's it's the first ev that's really really good fun to drive. It's hugely powerful. It's four hundred and seventy eight kilowatts, which is more than most supercars. But it's a practical shape. It's con seat five, it's got a four hundred and eighty liters boot, and it can be very very benign and very gentle you when you haven't wiped it up into its fiercest mode, and it does almost everything. It costs one hundred and ten thousand dollars, but it's not the cheap it's not the cheapest car that we've ever given Wheels Car of the Year two. But it's a real game changer, it really is. It's it's easy to get quite post faced. I think about the future of motoring and that it's not going to be any fun and that every thinks it's going to be a white good vehicle, but this just proves the opposite. It's really joyous and it's been engineered right from the start to be fun.
00:45:09
Speaker 2: So, any this is an electric vehicle, is it the first time or how long has it been since you've had an electric vehicle? Take out this goal.
00:45:17
Speaker 5: This will be the false one. Actually we had the first one was BMWi three back in twenty fourteen, and we had the Mercedes you've seen twenty twenty and the key at EV six in twenty twenty two. So yeah, it's now ten years since the first EV won Wheels Car of the Year.
00:45:35
Speaker 4: So you said it was really fun to drive. Tell us about how you tested it. Where did you go?
00:45:41
Speaker 5: Well, we had, as as usual at Wheels, we have three days at are proving ground where where we're away from the public roads and we can really put the car through their paces, and then we whipped down the list from twenty five cars to six and those six go out onto the public road we test them in a real world scenario, and the top three this year in third was the yung Dai Santa fe In. Second was the Toyota Camry and the Ionic five N was first. So yeah, it's it's quite a week. We've we judged them not against the other cars at Car of the Year, but on the criteria value safety, how they drive and design an execution.
00:46:28
Speaker 4: So coming in at one hundred and ten k how do you get the value out of that, Well, you.
00:46:35
Speaker 5: Can count it in a few different ways. It does a lot of things very very well. Be a lot of cars cough that much these days, unfortunately. And we've also introduced for this year a cap on the maximum price of cars at part of the year. We've never done that before, but this year we've said nothing over one hundred and forty thousand dollars. In the past, we would be inviting cars that may have been two hundred and fifty three hundred thousand dollars and they would struggle at Car of the Year. This year we've said, nope, we're not going to include the really expensive stuff. We're going to include those in a separate thing next year so they can show their stuff without being crawled by the Car of the Year criteria.
00:47:20
Speaker 2: And Andy, is it something that you're finding people are buying more of the electric vehicles. Is it becoming more commonplace?
00:47:28
Speaker 11: Yes and no.
00:47:31
Speaker 5: Sales and evs have stalled a little bit in Australia if you look. If you look at the figures, they're not climbing as we expected to this year. Some of that is down to cost of living issues, because there's no doubt that for an equivalent internal combustion engine car, it's a cheaper vehicle to buy upfront than an EV and we can completely understand that. But carslight the Ironic five ng just make us optimistic about the future for electric cars because they are engaging, they are fun. The key thing about the Ionic five end is there's been a lot of partisan ship about EV's and internal combustion engines, and this car just completely sweets that a size and says, you know what's wrong with taking the best bits of an EV and the best bits of a combustion car and blending them together. So you can drive it just like an EV, or you can switch it into a mode where you get engine sound and you can change gears with the paddles, and it does all sorts of clever things. It's really cool how.
00:48:28
Speaker 3: Much would this cost if it wasn't an EV.
00:48:31
Speaker 5: Oh, that's a tough question of the All of the Ironic five range is designed from the ground up as an EV. But if I was to hazard a guest, if they designed that car from the ground up as a petrol engine car, it's so hard to guess because for that level of performance that you get from that car, a petrol edgy car would actually probably end up costing you a lot more.
00:48:59
Speaker 4: We've got a text message that's come through. Can you please ask Andy how much a replacement battery is for the EV?
00:49:09
Speaker 5: Then? I don't know, and they don't release that stuff, but they can repair modules of the battery.
00:49:18
Speaker 4: I didn't know that the batteries ran it. So in some cases, do you have to replace a battery on an EV? You don't just keep recharging that.
00:49:27
Speaker 5: Yes, yes you do keep recharging them. But the battery warranties are incredibly long these days. Most manufacturers offer either an eight or a ten year battery warranty on the vehicles, so it's longer than the warranty on the vehicle in general, which in current does a case will be a five year warranty. A lot of people like to throw up that how much is the battery to replace? In reality, that doesn't happen if the battery goes at any point during those eight years. They're just putting battery.
00:50:00
Speaker 19: In the car for you.
00:50:01
Speaker 5: So it's a bit of a non secreteur really to ask that question.
00:50:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Andy, how many cars in total did you have to work through? I mean, obviously you've come to the winner, but I'm sure you had to test out a lot along the way.
00:50:16
Speaker 5: Yes, we had twenty five cars at this year's Car of the Year, so it was it was quite an involved week that got whittled down to six and then three, and then the day emerged on the top. It's the first time kind have ever won Will's Car of the Year. It's been running since nineteen sixty three and they've never never been out of cracket yet, but this is the first.
00:50:38
Speaker 3: Time since national And do you thank you so much?
00:50:41
Speaker 4: That is Andy and right, Wills Magazine editor announcing the car of the Year that high YONDI iconic five And I have never driven an electric.
00:50:50
Speaker 2: VideA you no, I haven't.
00:50:52
Speaker 10: No.
00:50:52
Speaker 4: They sound I mean whenever I hear one go past, they sound futuristic, spacelike, They sound like they'd be really fun and comfortable, but they freaked me out the thought of an electric car. I just feel like I'd run out of juice, electric battery juice somewhere where it's not convenient. I forget to put petrol in my car let alone charger.
00:51:13
Speaker 2: Fourth time that an electric vehicle has won this award, and been running since nineteen sixty three. It is the planet's longest continuously running motoring award.
00:51:23
Speaker 1: Five double a Summer Breakfast, Tom Wren and Jade Robren.
00:51:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's great to be with you. It is twenty three minutes past seven o'clock on this December sixteenth Monday, Jade roberin Tom Wren with you through until the rest of the week. Thirty four degrees at the moment, Jade, it is hot.
00:51:38
Speaker 4: It is very very warm, but we have got a very exciting show coming up for the rest of the morning with you. In about an hour's time, thyds of Year twelve students are going to get their SACE results.
00:51:51
Speaker 3: We wish them all the very best.
00:51:52
Speaker 4: We just announced the Wheels Car of the Year, an electric car this year, Hey Yonder, and I mentioned that I've never driven one and I'm don't know that I trust myself to get behind one because I'm hopeless at filling my car up with petrol, let alone charging.
00:52:06
Speaker 3: And I've got a couple of messages.
00:52:07
Speaker 4: Here saying, Jay, you just need to get over that, and you just need to get in one with solar panels.
00:52:12
Speaker 3: They're the best thing.
00:52:14
Speaker 4: But there are a couple of other messages saying I wonder if Andy would buy a second hand Ionic five in eight years time. Another one from Andrew here. How can evs be fun when you have to charge after driving only four hundred k's? Can't You can't even drive halfway to Melbourne where petrol and hybrids? You can not to mention the vehicles used to mine, manufacture and transport EV's or Raither Diesel or jet A one. Do you have to say I'm not dropping one hundred and ten thousand dollars on a I know this sounds really snobby on a high end tie. Wouldn't you go maybe a fancy MERK or a BMW? I'd go European if I've got that much money to spend on a car.
00:52:51
Speaker 2: It's the other thing too, isn't it just that convenience? Like you said, if you know a lot of people do go for the long range trips. We live in Australia going to Melbourne for the footy or whatever the case may be.
00:53:01
Speaker 3: And how long does it take to charge?
00:53:02
Speaker 2: It's that inconvenience, isn't it. We do have the charging stations. I noticed just downstairs here outside of.
00:53:07
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're popping up in a lot of shopping centers too, aren't they.
00:53:10
Speaker 2: And I think it is probably moving more that way, isn't it long term? But yeah, I think it's it's going to be a real shift before people probably do it more mainstream.
00:53:19
Speaker 4: I love our Adelaide things conversations too. We've got lots of Adelaide things. We've got one here to hire, Jade and Tom. An obvious Adelaide thing is the oval. Many have said it's the best this year. It didn't raine during the cricket like days at the Gabba. Even if the Test only lasts two plus days, That itself shows how good our oval is. Perfect pitch Ian from Morfatteville, speaking of Adelaide Things, step.
00:53:45
Speaker 11: On five double a breakfast.
00:53:51
Speaker 2: Another midweekend of sport. He's on the line. I'm sure I was watching the cricket loving Travis Head dominating Rowie. Good morning to you what I perform. It's from Traphead over the weekend, back to back centuries, first time in his career.
00:54:05
Speaker 19: Yeah, Renny and Jade, good morning.
00:54:06
Speaker 20: I'll get to that.
00:54:07
Speaker 21: For those that slept well last night not and got attacked by mosquitos. Me, I'm going to be a bit of a grumpy bum today. So I just thought i'd say that, is there any correlation with ssquitos out and full moons? If our listeners know, give us an answer that because I recom when it's a full Did you see the moon last night?
00:54:24
Speaker 19: Jade?
00:54:25
Speaker 4: Yes, it's massive and even driving in this morning at five am though it was like it was it was seven am.
00:54:30
Speaker 3: It was so brph But the mozzies are big buggers.
00:54:35
Speaker 19: God Morty.
00:54:35
Speaker 4: Anyway, I needed a blood transfusion almost after Saturday night, sitting.
00:54:39
Speaker 3: In our backyard, I got a tap. So I love my ankles.
00:54:42
Speaker 21: Now that's true. Now, Jody, if you're listening, and I know you are because you love Jade and Rennie Summer's breakfasts, go back to bed and get out the other side of the bed. Please. Okay, let's talk cricket.
00:54:54
Speaker 4: Breakfast in bed, Browie, you've got nothing else to do that'll cheer her up.
00:54:59
Speaker 21: I'm fitting winds Hey, let's talk cricket Australia. After Day two's firstig seventh for four hundred and five Alt's carry not out forty five. That's great in itself, but the day did belong to two people, one in particular our man Travis Head one hundred and fifty two of one hundred and sixty Cherry Steve Smith's thirty third Test ton was a two hundred and forty one run partnership. I want to give you this stat, Rennie, because I know you love your stats.
00:55:22
Speaker 7: Yep.
00:55:23
Speaker 21: When Travis Head makes a ton right, that was his eighth Test ton, We've gone on to win every single Test because you know why. When he comes to the crease, he takes it away from him. He's like Gil Chris Boy was at a good one hundred and fifty.
00:55:36
Speaker 2: He gets on with it. Row, he doesn't eat any He takes the game away from you and you can see India that they're panicking. They've got no real plan for him.
00:55:42
Speaker 21: ROWI, oh god, he was fantastic. I was riveted to the TV yesterday his last four innings at the gabba. Quack quack, golden quack kin quack. So there are four ducks in a row.
00:55:54
Speaker 2: Did you know that? Yeah, three golden ducks in a row. So he's had a bad run. But then you know, just comes out and just goes bang yesterday and he looked amazing. I was discussing in the last hour or so. We've had some incredible South Australian cricketers, obviously the Chapel Brothers, the Don Jason Gilleslie. But I think he's probably in the top five of all time now, isn't he from s A Well?
00:56:16
Speaker 21: By the numbers and this is just by the numbers. This calendar year, he's the number one batsman in the world. He scored three hundred and eighty one runs already of four hundred and two cherries, he's averaging ninety five point twenty five. He hasn't ironed him like a dead fish. Honestly, he just gave care thing love him the other one Steve Smith, g did he need that time? What was it seventeen months before his last one? It's his thirty third. I thought he scratched and fiddled around early and then he grafted and crafted in the middle and in the end. I mean he always says this, he found his hands. But God did he need that time.
00:56:50
Speaker 11: Yeap.
00:56:50
Speaker 2: It was the longest streak I think of innings that he hadn't made a hundred bet he broke through and looked good. Rowie, looking forward to another big show tonight with you.
00:57:00
Speaker 21: Yep, we've got Campo in Jimmy G's having holidays. Thirty six is One's reds one. We'll see you at four.
00:57:05
Speaker 2: Get away, Rowie, great stuff, Rowie, Rowell. We're there from four o'clock tonight. Plenty more coming up after the seven thirty news. Here on five Double A Breakfast.
00:57:14
Speaker 1: Five Double A Summer Breakfast, Tom Wren and Jade Robren.
00:57:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've hit the halfway point here on five double A Breakfast this morning at twenty three minutes to eight o'clock. Jade Rober and Tom ran through until nine. It is very very warm out there. Try and stay cool if you can, take it easy. Don't try and exert yourself too much. Lots of water, all those simple messages. Jay, we've had a hot few days. The good news is, though, the cool change is coming.
00:57:40
Speaker 3: And Tommy the countdown is on.
00:57:42
Speaker 4: We're under an hour before all those say students the year twelve students will click a button and find.
00:57:48
Speaker 3: Out their results for all their hard work for twenty twenty four.
00:57:52
Speaker 4: And joining us is Mikayla Bensley, who's the head of the Safeboard. Mikayla, good morning, A bit of a nervous hour ahead, Yes.
00:58:01
Speaker 22: Good morning, thank you for the opportunity. Yes, it's an exciting day for all the South Australian young people, their families and especially their teachers.
00:58:09
Speaker 3: And so how many students are going to be waiting for their SACE today?
00:58:13
Speaker 22: Ah, well, we'd like to congratulate. There's over fifteen thousand, nine hundred and sixty seven students that will actually be completing their.
00:58:20
Speaker 12: FACE this year.
00:58:21
Speaker 3: That is sensational. That's a record, isn't it.
00:58:24
Speaker 22: Yeah, it's the highest number since the current qualification was introduced. So we're very excited by that. What it really reflects, though, is all of the hard work, the dedication and really the sacrifices that these young people have made to make sure that they finish high school and yeah, are able to go on to do what they'd like after school.
00:58:43
Speaker 3: I tell you what.
00:58:44
Speaker 4: I hope it's not like trying to get gather around tickets and everything just crashes at that eight third art.
00:58:49
Speaker 22: Oh. I hope so too, But I'm really confident it won't. Students will be able to access the results really smoothly.
00:58:56
Speaker 4: Can I to ask you about subjects? Because I mean back in my day it was maths and English and business studies. There is so much more on offer now, isn't there.
00:59:05
Speaker 22: Yeah, there's a massive range of subjects trying to cater for all the interests and the diversity that's out there in terms of our young people, but also in terms of the skills and knowledge that they'll need for their pathways going forward. So to give you an example, we've got subjects like business, innovation, nutrition, tourism, you can do.
00:59:25
Speaker 18: Dance and music.
00:59:26
Speaker 22: We have subjects like people power and politics, social studies, those sorts of subjects. So there's a huge range of subjects now, lots of languages that you can study. So it's very different to them when I went to school.
00:59:39
Speaker 2: It's reflective, isn't it, Almost of society, you know, just that opportunity to explore and diversify it. It's good for you know, students to be able to have that I guess range of subjects to choose.
00:59:49
Speaker 22: From, absolutely, and we want high school to be somewhere where they can explore their passions, to try new things, to you know, be excited by things, so that they have an idea around where and who they want to be post school. And I think the more subjects we can offer to meet that diversity of student interest, then the better place they are for whatever their future looks like going forward. So yeah, it's something we're really proud of and we'll continue.
01:00:13
Speaker 4: Do you have a sneak peak of any you know, really really outstanding results. We've seen a couple of students in the paper this morning that have done extremely well. How have we gone in essay this year?
01:00:27
Speaker 22: Yeah, well, students continue to just kind of really exceed our expectations, not only just around their level of achievement, so you know, I have their subject results and how well they do their but also how they balance that with how they want to contribute to the to society generally. We've got students, for example, who've raised funds for the homeless, that are also looking after ill parents and fellow siblings, people who are really motivated to do really innovative things and start even work and so forth, all their own startups within school. So they're really amazing young people. But in terms of the academic achievement, we have, you know, thirty three students that have achieved a Governor's Commendation Award, which is really reflecting those students who are nominated by the school, who've really shown initiative to go above and beyond what you'd expect and have really shaped their community both in and outside of the school. So we're very excited about that.
01:01:25
Speaker 2: It's great to see so many people achieving such you know, meritorious results. The other thing too, is it's not just the kids that go through. It's a whole of team effort, isn't it the families, to parents, grandparents as well. It's a massive achievement to get through year twelve.
01:01:41
Speaker 22: For everyone, right, anyone who's had a year twelve student nodes that it kind of is something the whole family goes through. So I really just want to recognize that their success wouldn't have been possible without their cares and their friends, which create a really huge support system for them. And now that we're able to really engage face to face again. Those things are super important. But I'd also really like to acknowledge the teachers. We've got an amazing teacher workforce in South Australia who are so committed to helping these young people pursue their dreams, and without their effort, the success of these young people just wouldn't be possible.
01:02:17
Speaker 4: Michael, what do you say to those what advice would you pass on to those that open it and you know there might be a point or too short of that dream course that they want to get into.
01:02:27
Speaker 22: Yeah, I think there's a couple of things for me. Firstly, I want young people to be really excited, but why they by what they have achieved and not feel like they're being defined by what these numbers look like. I think the end of high school itself is a huge achievement, and I want to emphasize that there are more pathways beyond school than ever, and there's also more ways to get in than ever. So even if you think that they're you know, you might be a couple you didn't kind of achieve what you were hoping for. I really encourage people to give us a call. We'll be able to explain what your results mean. And we'll also be able to provide you with a range of options. But I think my kind of final message is, if you want to be and do anything, what happens today is not going to prevent you from following your dream.
01:03:13
Speaker 2: It's great advice. You know, it can seem like it, you know, is the end of the world if you don't achieve that ultimate mark that you're aiming for. But you're right, there's so many other pathways and you can go again, so you know.
01:03:25
Speaker 22: It's absolutely find the way to get.
01:03:27
Speaker 2: There, exactly right. It's great advice. Mikhayla. A big day for you, a big day for all of the year. Twelve students out there, thanks so much for coming on five double a breakfast this morning, no.
01:03:36
Speaker 22: Problem, Thank you for your time, thank you.
01:03:38
Speaker 2: Great stuff that was excited for them.
01:03:41
Speaker 4: It is it's in all that hard work. It's hours upon hours, and it does. It takes a village.
01:03:46
Speaker 13: You know.
01:03:47
Speaker 4: I've got quite a few friends who today they're waiting for their children.
01:03:50
Speaker 3: Eight thirty. They'll be logging on and you know, this is the last few weeks.
01:03:53
Speaker 4: They they stop their life almost so they make sure this you know, the fridge is stopped full of brain food and everyone tiptoes around. You've got grumpy, angry teenagers. It's full on and it all comes down to this one little moment. But does it know, Like MICHAELA said, it doesn't have to shape your whole life today.
01:04:13
Speaker 2: Yes, you know, yeah, but it is. It can feel overwhelming and you know you're going through it all with your friends as well, and the sense of relief as well. Once it's all over, it's powerable, isn't it. So good luck to all the students and we hope to have a chat to one or two perhaps a little bit later this morning. It is sixteen minutes to eight o'clock. We might go to a call before we got.
01:04:38
Speaker 4: Hank Yonker from Services Australia who's got some tips for school leavers.
01:04:42
Speaker 3: Thank you very much for joining us, Hank. How are you this morning?
01:04:45
Speaker 23: Oh look, I'm really well. Thank you.
01:04:47
Speaker 3: It's a very important day.
01:04:49
Speaker 4: You guys do a fantastic job for our school leavers. It can be a little bit overwhelming when they get out into that big bad world. Financial side of it as well. They've got to start paying hexs fe these a lot of parents will cut that lifeline off and say all right, it's time for you to feed your own mouth.
01:05:05
Speaker 3: Now what tips have you got?
01:05:07
Speaker 23: Well, look, it is the time for young people to actually start facing up to a few adult responsibilities, and now is the time to start claiming for payments like youth allowed And the reason for that is we encourage people to claim thirteen weeks prior to when they're likely to be eligible. And of course most students start studies in early February, so now's the time to claim. But there's a few other things I recommend. Firstly, get students to open a mygather account and link to center Link and Medicare because what that means is, particularly with sendling, they can logic claim online use of allance. Now, get all their ducks lined up in a row, make sure they've got all the right documents. And it's important to remember that Youth Allowance is also subject to a parental income test, so there's a few steps that they had to follow.
01:06:10
Speaker 4: How much money could you get if you tick all the boxes? How beneficial is it?
01:06:15
Speaker 20: Look?
01:06:15
Speaker 23: The rates really vary depending on your situation. The best thing to do is to go to our website Services Australia dot au and if you look for Youth Allowance. Not only will it give you all the latest rates depending on your situation and your parents' income, of course, but also in terms of the other support that is available.
01:06:41
Speaker 4: So the Youth Allowance of Study, Tertiary Access Payment. Can you get all three at the same time. Can you talk us through what they are and how they differ from each other.
01:06:52
Speaker 23: Yeah, Look, Youth Allowance is paid up to age twenty two, sorry twenty four. Beyond that if you're continuing in studies, that's when OZ study kicks in. Now. It's good that you asked about the Tertiary Access Payment because there are two payments available for students that have to move from regional and remote Australia into city or to other locations in order to undertake their studies. And again it really the Tertiary Access Payment is a payment that's made regardless of whether or not you qualify for Youth Allowance, and there's also another payment that's available. But again the best thing to do would be to go to our website and if you just have a look at Youth Allowance those payments. The Tertiary Access Payment is paid automatically if you're eligible, and so it also gives you a guide on how to qualify for the other payments.
01:08:05
Speaker 3: Hank, thank you very much, good tips, great stuff.
01:08:08
Speaker 2: Just before we get to the traffic, just a bit of an update as to what is happening on the roads. Jay. Police are at the scene of a truck roll over at the southern end of the Southern Expressway at about seven o'clock this morning. Police will call to Maine South Road at No Longer Downs after a rubbish truck that had been traveling south lost control and tipped over. Now the driver of the truck has been taken to hospital, thankfully with non life threatening injuries. There are speed restrictions in the area and one lane has closed for southbound traffic, so expect delays if you are traveling through the area this morning. We might get some.
01:08:44
Speaker 11: More five Double A Summer Breakfast.
01:08:47
Speaker 10: Tom Wren and Jade Robren.
01:08:49
Speaker 2: Coming up to eight minutes two eight o'clock here on five Double A Breakfast. It is Monday, the sixteenth of December. Still very warm outside, so try and stay cool if you can. But we've been talking a little bit about animals and the zoo this morning.
01:09:02
Speaker 4: Jade, there is so much going on in essay right now. It's Pandemodim out there. Eyes of the world on us because the two cute and clor little pandas have made their way over from China our new ones. They're in quarantine right now. We'll talk about that a little bit later, but elephants as well are on their way. We've got Burma. He's arrived and is ready for visitors. And joining us now is Casey Trelaw from seven News who's been getting up close and a little bit personal. You've been giving him a bath, Casey, I hear, good morning.
01:09:36
Speaker 24: Good morning, Jade and Tom wat an incredible experience that was we got to pop up and see Burma in all her glory day one out of quarantine.
01:09:47
Speaker 8: She was a little nervous. She's got quite a big enclosure that she now has full and open access to. There's a massive watering hole at the end of this enclosure, so I'm sure she's going to be pretty excited when she eventually reaches that that far end. But yes, lots of hot weather at the moment, so her keepers lots of giving her, lots of basstime, lots of hose off, and these animals absolutely love water, so once they find those watering holes, they'll be splashing that water on themselves. But for now, yeah, keeper's very busy with the hose and I got the chance to give her a bit of a spray down too, And oh she is just magnificent. She is enormous. Her eyes are just as beautiful. They're just mesmerizing, absolutely mesmerizing, and everything about her is just incredible. So it's so exciting that finally now South Australians should be able to pop out and see her when they head out to Minato.
01:10:37
Speaker 2: I was going to say, when can they do that? Is it from today, Casey?
01:10:42
Speaker 8: Look so basically from day one of quarantined, But if you're hopping around on a bus, you should be able to see her. There's a bit of a viewing area that they can see. But in those early days, no doubt, you may not have seen her too much, just because of how nervous she was about exploring this new area. In fact, we were told that she had a bit of a sniffer. There were some kangaroo dunk. She had one sip of that and was like nap, She's spun around and she was right back in her safety bar and it was kind of a safety net, so a few new fifts for her to work out. But very important though you're not a zoo the same member, you must book otherwise you probably will miss out. And no doubt that is going to be a very very busy booking system, especially these school holidays.
01:11:21
Speaker 3: And Casey, she's got a little mate on her way.
01:11:23
Speaker 8: Oh, this is so exciting. So there's obviously four more elephants to come. Two of them are in persue, one a female and another a male. Now, the male, he's got a few hormonal issues to sort out before he's ready to do his create training and heading for while the male elephants they go through this essentially, this testosterone boost for months at a time, and he's in the middle of that at the moment, so these sort of keepers don't go anywhere near him. He's doing his own thing. So he will come out of that sort of in the early stages of next year. And once he comes out of that testosterone increased faith, then they can start working on him to be able to move him. But in the meantime he has a mate over there called Permi. Now, female elephants, they are very social. They need to be in a herd and Permi had a mate over there, Trisha, and Trisha Sadley passed away two years ago. So Permai has been showing signs of loneliness, but that loneliness has really increased, a lot of swaying and things like that. But the great thing too, for keepers over there, permis taken to her great training exceptionally well, so that actually fast tracked her move to Manato six months ahead of schedule. She should be here by the end of January, and of course being in Australia, there's no quarantine required, so Burma and Permi will get to meet each other at the end of January, and her New Zealand keepers or Burma's New Zealand keepers, are so excited because of course Burma has been on her own for a little while as well, so they are so excited for that encounter. It could take, you know, a couple of hours for them to get familiar with each other. It could take a couple of days, but very exciting Nato. So within a couple of months, Bang, we have two amazing beautiful elephants.
01:13:04
Speaker 3: Oh, that's really sweet.
01:13:06
Speaker 4: And then once old mates gone through elephant puberty, he'll be in and they'll have a little they have a little herd at Manato.
01:13:13
Speaker 8: That's it. So the male he's probably six months away still, but there is two other females that are coming from Taronga Zoo as well, and so they will be coming a few months after her, sorry, the one from Perth. So yeah, there'll be four females and they'll get to have this amazing social structure. I'm sure one of them will work out which ones to make triarch.
01:13:35
Speaker 13: And sort of rule the roost.
01:13:37
Speaker 8: Kind of thing, and then the male he'll be you know, they'd like to live on their own. They're quite solitary creatures, but there is a chance maybe nothing set in stone, there's you know, no set plans, but maybe there could be a hope that with that male and some of those younger females, especially from Tarrongo Zoo, there could be a little bit of a mating program. But that's still all yet to be e now and the star, but yes, very excited. We'll have four females together. They'll have this beautiful social structure and also that male there on hand too.
01:14:07
Speaker 2: Now, casey, you're going to be with us here on five to double a during the summer as well, which is exciting. So we're going to hear a lot more of you this summer.
01:14:14
Speaker 8: Super excited to join the team guys. So yes it it.
01:14:18
Speaker 6: Helped you out a little bit over summer last year.
01:14:20
Speaker 8: So really excited to jump back in the seat with Lucy again this year too. I'm sure we'll have plenty to unpack around Christmas time and New Year's as well, and I'm sure plenty of hot weather related stories as well, So looking forward to it.
01:14:31
Speaker 4: Good stuff, Casey, thank you so much. We're looking forward to having you here. Casey Drelaw from seven News. Casey mentioned their eyes. I was lucky enough to well in Bali. They've got a Safari park there and I took the kids and you're allowed to go and feed them and they come right up close to you and staring into their eyes. It's something really special. It removes you some of those prehistoric animals. They're just incredible and we're so lucky to have them just up the freeway there, poppingto Minato.
01:15:03
Speaker 2: So good up there. It's good to the boys. It's sensational. It is a couple of minutes to eight o'clock. We'll take a short break. News is coming up next and a big hour coming up after the eight o'clock.
01:15:13
Speaker 11: News five Double a summer Breakfast, Tom.
01:15:17
Speaker 10: Wren and Jade Robren.
01:15:19
Speaker 2: Roberin Tom Wren through until nine o'clock and we're going to be here all week as well, Jade, aren't We were looking forward to doing it.
01:15:26
Speaker 4: Yes, And we've got some beautiful photos that are coming through on the text line Oh double four eight eight thirteen ninety five. Suzanne has taken some gorgeous photos at Semaphore Park Beach. Beautiful sunsets and beautiful sunrise this morning. Send in your photos. How hot is it in your neck of the woods. Some parts of the state is reaching forty five degrees today. It's hot one tom Overnight Big News. The remaining five members of the Balley nine drug smuggling ring have returned to Australia. As we know, they spent nearly twenty year is in Indonesian jails. Following that top has been a really top secret mission. We first found out news let's say maybe two three weeks ago, there was talk that they were going to come home. Well it's all happened overnight. And joining us from seven News is Nick McCallum he is in Darwin. Nick, great to have you on the program.
01:16:19
Speaker 25: Good morning, Yes, Good morning Jade, Good morning Tom. We're standing out the front of the Howard Springs government facility. It became quite famous during COVID. That's where a lot of people were quarantined when they returned from overseas. The five Australians are now currently in there. They spent their first night there.
01:16:41
Speaker 19: And as you mentioned, it was a top secret operation but there was a bit of the irony about it. The Indonesians have released vision yesterday in the vip area of the Bali airport and that's where we got shots of the five standing there. We've got shots of the Australian signing documentation. Then they jumped on a scheduled Jet Star flight so they hid in plane sight. They were actually moved from Bali to Darwin. They arrived here at about twenty to three yesterday afternoon and straight to this facility. Now they are free people. They can come and go as they please, but at the moment they are actually receiving medical treatment. It's anticipated their families were told not to go to the airport yesterday, but their families, it's anticipated, will come and visit the moment the next couple of days.
01:17:41
Speaker 2: Nick, what's the reception been like, I mean uibversitly covering the story very closely. Has it been one of support for them being repatriated back home or has there been a bit of negative publicity going the other way with it as well?
01:17:54
Speaker 19: Oh, there's absolutely been negative publicity. But the Prime Minister in a statement yesterday, he did a video statement and he said nineteen years, which is what they've served, is long enough for the crime. Now let's remember it was eight point three kilograms of herom with a street value of about four million dollars. Now, the two ringleaders were executed in twenty fifteen. One of the members of the syndicate died in jail of summit cancer. The other one a female, Renee Lawrence. She was released on the grounds of good behavior in twenty and eighteen. These five guys, a few of them had actually been sentenced to death, but it was commuted to life imprisonment. In Indonesia, that generally means you spend life in jail, but it's now been commuted to nineteen years as basically a sign of goodwill from the new Indonesian president to the Australian government now. They released a statement the government overnight. They said they were relieved and happy. The men and their families will always be grateful to the Australian government for all the work they've done. They look forward in time to reintegrating back into and contributing to society. The welfare of the men is a priority. They will need time and support.
01:19:20
Speaker 3: Nick, what now, what happens today? Or is it just watch and sea?
01:19:25
Speaker 19: Yes, it is just watch and see Jade, because there is no timeline put on how long they can stay here. They I think the Australian government want them to stay here to get the medical help, to also sort out any psychological issues, and also to re meet their parents and their families. Most of them are from New South Wales and from Queensland. But as I point out, they are free. There is no obligation. Originally the Indonesians were talking about getting them to serve time the rest of their time here in Australia. That has now been dropped, so there is no obligation on the Australian government to keep them in detention in any way, shape or form. There is a complication. A couple of them married Indonesian women and in fact have children now, they for obvious reasons, are not allowed back into Indonesia, so they will have to go through the normal processes to try and get visas for their Indonesian families to come and live with him in Australia. That will be, obviously, for obvious reasons, a complicated process, and that could also take time, and I think the Australian government wants to try and talk them through that process as well.
01:20:38
Speaker 2: We're talking to Nick McCallum from seven News, who's in Dahen covering the release of the five remaining members of the Bali nine. Nick, do you think we're likely to hear from any of these members perhaps today or at some point this week or it's just too difficult to say?
01:20:52
Speaker 19: Well, well, I think it's too difficult to say, Tom. I mean, as I mentioned they released the statement. I would imagine, and this is just me using supposition, I would imagine the Australian governments would not in any way want them to talk at this stage. They want them to gently disappear back into their lives. They don't want to stir the pot because as we talked about, there are people who say they shouldn't have spent any money, They shouldn't have campaigned for them to come out of Indonesia. They should have served their time in Indonesia. So they don't want to stir the pot with that. But also they don't want to in any way poke the bear of the Indonesians. Indonesians have done what they say is a great favor to the Australian community. They have not asked for anything in the return, but who knows what happens down the track. So they don't want anything to be said by any of these five that might be construed as criticism of the Indonesian government, even talking about the conditions in Indonesian jails which are pauling. In two thousand and five when they were court, I actually went over there with the Renee Lawrence's father and joined him as he visited her, and the conditions were appalling. And you know, that's what happens when you get caught trying to traffic joke at Drakes in Asia. You end up in an Asian jail and it is very ugly, very unpleasant, and hell on earth, and that's what you get. So I would imagine the Australian government would not necessarily want the five men talking about the conditions in those jails because it will be construed as criticism of the Indonesian government, and certainly they don't want that at the moment because it's perceived that the Indonesians have done the right thing by Australia.
01:22:49
Speaker 4: Nick, thank you so much for your time. It's going to be really interesting. I mean, you know you look back. I know there's going to be mixed thoughts out in the community on this one. Mine is, you know, the balley bomber's got less time and they killed hundreds of Australians. These guys have spent twenty plus years. I believe they've done their time. It's an incredible Christmas present for their families over the years, and Nick, you would experienced it with Renee Lawrence's father. They haven't been able to hug their children, touch them, you know that, or any time it's.
01:23:20
Speaker 3: Been through bars.
01:23:21
Speaker 4: It's going to be a really emotional, uphill battle really to bring them back into society now, isn't it.
01:23:27
Speaker 5: Well, well, it is.
01:23:29
Speaker 19: And another point the Indonesians made was that all of the five are getting credit for good behavior. A lot of them have been seen as being mentors in jail for other people. Much younger people who have done the wrong thing have ended up in balley jails on minor crimes, and they've been seen as mentors trying to get those people back on the straight and narrow, whether it be Indonesians or foreigners. So they've done good work in jail. I tend to agree with you. I mean, I just think nineteen years is long enough for their crimes, particularly seeing that was spent in an Indonesian jail, a long way away from their families. They've done their time. They should be allowed to try and get back into Australian society, hopefully, as they say, contribute to Australian society, particularly if they have young families. That's what they will want to do. And I think that's fair enough.
01:24:29
Speaker 10: Nick.
01:24:29
Speaker 2: Really appreciate your time this morning. We know how busy you are with various deadlines, so appreciate it and look forward to watching your report tonight.
01:24:36
Speaker 19: Good on you. Thanks a lot, guys.
01:24:37
Speaker 2: Thanks Nick, great stuff. Nick McCallum, an absolute start of the media game, and up there and dow and covering that story. We're going to head out to the streets of Adelaide right now, because we know how hot it is, Jade, so savvy Daddo who does a wonderful job is out there for us. Sammy, It is very warm out there. How are you coping?
01:24:55
Speaker 20: Morning morning, Tommy Head on the live stream, it looks like a pearler of a day here, but once you actually come outside after we're being in our air condition building all morning, it is quite warm. So we're going for a top of thirty eight today currently already in the city it is thirty four degrees now. The call change is expected later this evening. Tomorrow is going to be a top of twenty six, which will be a welcome relief. Look at some averages though for December and Adelaide, twenty seven point four is the average high. Now that was less than what our overnight low was last night. So the overnight low of twenty nine point six hit at ten forty two last night, so it was a warm one for sure as well. Across the state. Though, keep in mind we're at the top of thirty eight. Lavarroue going for a top of forty five already, thirty three ut Nadada going for a top of forty four currently thirty three as well, Keith forty three, also thirty three. Portagusta are expecting a high of forty three currently thirty two, but some storms are expected as well for their Barry that's not nice. And Berry forty five degrees today currently thirty one, Milicent thirty seven currently thirty and Mount Gambia also thirty seven, currently thirty degrees. Now the pick of the bunch, if you could pick somewhere in South Australia to be it has to be Port Lincoln, I reckon because they're only going for a top of thirty one, but it's already thirty one in Port Lincoln, so a cooler day over there for them. Now. We're also going to be catching up with the CFS after eight thirty this morning because we've had the warm day yesterday, another warm day to day to talk about some fire dangers, all the fire danger today for what is to be expected across Adelaide. So we'll catch up with them after eight thirty.
01:26:25
Speaker 2: Looking forward to that. So any great stuff, really appreciate it. And yeah, thirty four point three in the city at the moment.
01:26:31
Speaker 4: So if you're doing a cross for the Today Show, would you have taken your shirt off.
01:26:35
Speaker 2: Gone, yeah, off, You're just lucky that I've still got mine on in here right now.
01:26:39
Speaker 3: Yes, can you please keep it on just for a little bit?
01:26:43
Speaker 2: Definitely, I don't want to. It's only just said, don't prompt him.
01:26:46
Speaker 3: We know he's tempted.
01:26:47
Speaker 2: Don't we lose?
01:26:48
Speaker 10: We know?
01:26:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I don't want to. I don't want to do that to you this early in the week.
01:26:52
Speaker 11: Jay five Double A Summer Breakfast.
01:26:55
Speaker 10: Tom Wren and Jane Robren, And it.
01:26:57
Speaker 2: Is twenty one minutes to nine o'clock here on five Double A Brecky, Jada Rober and Tom ran with you through until nine o'clock and the rest of the week. I hope you're enjoying the program, Jade. It is slowly creeping up thirty four point seven degrees. That's off the back of a really hot day yesterday, and with that, as we know, comes some potential dangers.
01:27:16
Speaker 4: It most definitely does. We've got extreme weather conditions all across the state today. Lamarue and Moombar are possibly hitting a top of forty five degrees today. From the CFS State Judy Commander and Letcher joins us now and thank you so much for your time, What are the key messages going into today?
01:27:35
Speaker 18: Good morning and good morning to your listeners. The key messages today, I'm making sure that you are across the information that's being pushed out by emergency services. So if we have any incidents today, we need to make sure that people have either downloaded the alert essay app or that they're listening to their local radio or they're on the CFF website to see what are the messages that we're pushing and what are we asking them to do when the incidents occur.
01:28:01
Speaker 4: There's a lot of ads on the TV and radio at the moment about being prepared.
01:28:06
Speaker 3: What does that look like?
01:28:08
Speaker 18: So being prepared is a number of things, and often it depends on where you live. But where we would like people to start is to jump online on the CFS website and do their five minutes push by a survival plan, and that will help them with what do they need to do and what is the risk in the area where they live, but also where they might be traveling on their holidays.
01:28:28
Speaker 2: And obviously the heat is a real issue with potential fire damage, but I'm guessing the wind as well is a major problem to and so definitely.
01:28:38
Speaker 18: The wind changes the fire danger for us. So yesterday we had quite a hot day and the fire danger rating was only at high. But today, with the change coming through, we're seeing increased winds and that's what's pushing us into that extreme risk.
01:28:54
Speaker 3: And what are the areas of concern around the state today?
01:28:58
Speaker 18: So there's a couple of things who've got sick areas that are in fire danger rating of extreme. So that's the York Pininsula, the Mid North, the Mount Lofty Ranges, the Murray Lands, and then the Upper and the Lower Southeast.
01:29:14
Speaker 3: So what's your advice for those areas.
01:29:17
Speaker 18: So what we would like people to do is, if you haven't done a plan, jump on and do one this morning. All you need to do is pop outside your door to realize it's a really horrible day to day in terms of fire weather. So jump on and do a plan, but also just be thinking about where are you going to be, where's your family going to be, what are you going to do with your pets, all of those sorts of things, so that you can feel confident there is time this morning for you to move any flammable material away from your house to make a defendable space around the area. There's a couple of simple things that you can do that will help keep you safe.
01:29:54
Speaker 4: Can you explain that the ground at the moment, how are we really dry? Are we going into what is what the season look like?
01:30:02
Speaker 18: So what we've seen this season is because we didn't get much rain for most of the year, what we call the soil dryness indeck is really high. So what that means is the amount of rain we need to make the top layer of soil moist is actually a lot, up to one hundred and fifty millimeters in some areas. So what we find for fire danger is that that means that when it's that dry, fires move quite quickly through the landscape, and so the risk for us, particularly in the forested areas and so forest and scrub areas this year is quite high.
01:30:39
Speaker 4: What are some tips that you've got for people that could prepare their home going into the season.
01:30:44
Speaker 18: Absolutely so, like I said, moving any of those flammable materials away from your home to create that defendable space. The really simple things like making sure you've cleaned out your gutters and you don't have any material in those that could catch fire, and making sure that if you're traveling as well, that you have with you a woolen blanket, some water, some protective gloves, so that if you do get caught somewhere, you're able to protect yourself.
01:31:14
Speaker 3: Why a woolen blanket do they not catch on fire as easily?
01:31:18
Speaker 18: So essentially, woolen blankets are the best fire protection we have. It's a natural fiber that doesn't burn anywhere near the level that cotton or linen or sort of any other material does. So is they able to provide you with a level of protection.
01:31:36
Speaker 2: Great advice, and thanks so much for coming on five double a breakfast this morning.
01:31:40
Speaker 18: Thank you so much for having me.
01:31:42
Speaker 4: Thanks n And also, you know, closer to home in the CBD, if it gets really hot, check in on your neighbors the elderly. Make sure that you've got water outside for pets, you know, on these really hot days, bring them inside. I just think it's really lovely to, you know, put that bowl of water out, because you know you'll get birds come in wildlife often these days you get those beautiful social media pictures of koalas and kangaroos coming to people's home, you know, in and around Blair and Hawthorn. Dean because you know they're parched and hot as well. But close the curtains and just keep hydrated and check in on each other.
01:32:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, big time. It's great advice. And also just watering the garden. Like we've got Harry the eleven year old. He is growing a few veggies out the back, strawberries and lemons and so forth, and just watering the garden every day. In this kind of weather, you just have to do it.
01:32:31
Speaker 4: So I planted all a whole new hedge about a week ago and they're singed, they're burnt to the cris just didn't survive.
01:32:37
Speaker 2: It can happen so easily, can't, I know, with weather like this. We've been talking about Welcome to Country. That was off the back of our chat that we had early this morning. Jay, you did a great interview. Let's go to garyot collins Wood, who wants to talk about it. Gary, good morning to you.
01:32:51
Speaker 12: Good morning, Tom, Good morning Jade.
01:32:53
Speaker 2: Hi.
01:32:53
Speaker 10: Yeah.
01:32:54
Speaker 12: Look, I think we've got to be careful. I don't wan the Welcome to Country, but I think we've got to be careful not to use it all the time. And what I mean by that is that when I was at work, we'd have a meeting in the morning and we'd have working to the country. There might be just six of us there. Then in the afternoon you'd go to another meeting and there was another welcome to the country. And I just think that and these people that were doing the welk in the country weren't indigenous, they were just there was one lady that was Asian. So it's just I don't know. I think you can get too much of something, a bit like the Big Bash, Tom. I think when we start off the Big Bash was great, you know, and then we've got sort of swamp with it, and then I think we've I think got sort of half the amount of games that we have now. So I just think we need to certain occasions. Yeah, that's just my opinion on us, not every time you go to a meet and you're having a workome to the country.
01:33:54
Speaker 2: I don't think your view would be that uncommon, to be honest, Gary, I think it probably reaches a point where, yeah, I think it's important, but I think that also, Rich is a saturation point, doesn't it, Jay, where people out there think you're shoving this down my throat.
01:34:08
Speaker 4: Too much of anything is too much and loses its meaning. So I think what Melbourne Storm are looking at doing by reducing the amount of times that they do welcome to country, Yeah, it means something, you know. I think when I go to the AFL Final series and you know, they make a real poignant moment of getting the guys to line up, you know, either side, and they do Welcome to Country and then they'll sing the national anthem and it's a ceremony. I think, when there's a big occasion, there is a time and a place for it. But every meeting, every time my plane leaves, I think the meaning behind it starts to lose it. We've got lots of messages coming through. Jay says, I don't need to be welcome to the country I'm born in. I'm Australian, simple and says good. No more does Australian taxpayers need to pay money for nationalities that their taxes give and gave a really good hand up, fed them, clothing, helped housing.
01:35:07
Speaker 3: Even when they message goes on and on and on.
01:35:10
Speaker 4: Some workplaces run indigenous courses for the staff. It's almost a history lesson. Wendy says, welcome to country is not the same as acknowledgment for first nations. No, So welcome to country is when an indigenous person stands up and welcomes to country, and the rule of thumb should be that only indigenous people do that. Acknowledgment of country is when you and I host an event and perhaps at the beginning of it, then we, you know, make the acknowledgment. We're standing on garner Land. Two very different things, but yeah, it's divisive at the moment. Going by the text messages, m'd say ninety five percent of people are saying, you know, we could possibly cut back.
01:35:48

Speaker 3: Shirt this morning, it's very festive.
01:36:48
Speaker 16: Yeah, I probably should have saved it to the big day, shouldn't I. It sort of like when I put it on this morning it.
01:36:52
Speaker 5: Was a bit dark.
01:36:52
Speaker 16: I didn't what it was.
01:36:55
Speaker 2: It's a ripper.
01:36:56
Speaker 16: Yeah, we are on, aren't we. Anyone watching on the live stream.
01:37:00
Speaker 2: They can see what you've got to looks like.
01:37:02
Speaker 16: You have to be very careful of that.
01:37:04
Speaker 3: Well, it's where we're lucky that Tom's even got a shirt on in this weather. Normally normally take it off.
01:37:09
Speaker 16: I know, I've worked with him in the newsroom and it's not a pretty side.
01:37:13
Speaker 2: I've just taken off and grabs up what is going on here?
01:37:16
Speaker 16: Yeah, he makes more changes than well we won't go.
01:37:20
Speaker 4: Into that, So Gigi, right now, as of about twenty five minutes ago, fifteen thousand, nine hundred year twelve students.
01:37:27
Speaker 3: Would have clicked on and got their results. Oh really exciting.
01:37:30
Speaker 16: Yes, you can imagine the pent up feeling about it. You know, it's effectively the culmination of twelve thirteen years of your life and it's so important. But we're going to talk to the education when it's about the overall aspect and effect on South Australia. But we'll speak later with a child psychologist too, because I med a lot of students aren't going to get the results that were hoping for. And it isn't the end of the world coming from someone who is a total failure in the education rapped out during the year twelve and look at you. By all that was left was radio.
01:38:07
Speaker 2: Again.
01:38:08
Speaker 3: Look at us now.
01:38:10
Speaker 16: Don't say it too often, yeah, but it is true. I mean you might sort of see this is the end of the road. I didn't get what I wanted to get, but it can just open up whole new areas.
01:38:20
Speaker 2: It might just be a little detour exactly.
01:38:22
Speaker 16: And that's what life is full of, big tours and changes of direction.
01:38:25
Speaker 2: And overcoming adversity and resilience building all of that.
01:38:28
Speaker 16: Yeah, so we'll to speak with a chant psychologist. But kids, if you're listening, it's not the end of the road. It's just a new beginning. That's pretty exciting. We're going to look at southa Strada's biggest crime hotspots. Some disturbing reports coming out of Port Pirie and the little town of Davenport this morning. We're going to have a look at that, speaking with the crime Advocate Michael O'Connell and shallow Attorney General Josh t Does Adelade need a new stadium?
01:38:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so.
01:38:55
Speaker 11: Yeah.
01:38:56
Speaker 16: Remember the last election, the Liberals went.
01:39:00
Speaker 2: You're going to get a new stadium here back five.
01:39:01
Speaker 16: About seven hundred million dollars. It was torpedoed by the oppositions. At the opposition at the time, Peter malan Asker said no, but he's mister entrepreneur. Now, I reckon he probably thinks it's a good idea.
01:39:12
Speaker 4: I think if there's enough money to go around for the hospitals and roads first and foremost, and we can afford it, build it and they will come.
01:39:19
Speaker 23: Yeah.
01:39:19
Speaker 16: I mean if you sort of say, should you spend it? On hospitals and ramping or a new stadium. Of course, it's got to go to hospitals and ramping. But hospitals and ramping don't generate one dollar, you know, the cold light of day. That's right, don't generate one dollar. A stadium can generate millions, and from that millions you can pour it into the hospitals.
01:39:37
Speaker 3: That's right.
01:39:38
Speaker 16: Anyway, you want to get rid of me, and I've got to go anywhere.
01:39:42
Speaker 4: Never, No, thank you so much. You're coming up after nine o'clock. We're me talking Adelaide things. Gg because a lady in her eighties at around seven o'clock last night drove on to the o Barn. Unfortunately, just made the wrong decision. The police said today that she could possibly get fined and they're going to have a closer look at her license. I mean, obviously it was a mistake. You don't choose to drive down there. But it got us talking about Adelaide things. I thought of another one. We call lobster. What the rest of the country called lobster, we call it crayfish. Also pie floaters and fruitcakes.
01:40:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, that good South Australian things. Stoby Pole's was the other big one.

Speaker 3: So instead of the bacon, you'll throw the fritz in.
01:40:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, fritz. I don't mind bacon, but I'm not huge. I'd rather fritz than bacon.
01:40:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay.
01:40:58
Speaker 2: And I like fried bread. Have you ever done that?
01:41:00

01:41:10
Speaker 3: How does that even cook? Wouldn't that be soggy?
01:41:12
Speaker 2: It's quite soggy. But then it becomes like, all fried, it's beautiful. Okay, I had not fried.
01:41:18
Speaker 4: I've done French does with maple syrup, but no.
01:41:21
