It is really good for to the next two weeks. But how was your weekend? You've been You've been gallivanting around our beautiful stage.
00:00:46
Speaker 1: It was amazing. I was in the Flinders Rangers filming for Helloa, so so I went near Friday and came back yesterday, then straight to the football to call yesterday with Campo and also Sammy Tugwell, so that was great. So it was busy but beautiful in the Flinders Rangers absolutely loved it. So when's the last time you've been there?
00:01:05
Speaker 2: I have not been there? No, isn't that terrible? I have not been there and I have not been to k I No, stop shocking, absolutely naughty, naughty. I have to get there.
00:01:15
Speaker 1: Well, in fairness, Kangaroo Island. I'd only been for the first time probably two and a half three years ago, so I was I think I was forty by the time I got there, so it took me a long time.
00:01:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a little bit over that and I still haven't.
00:01:27
Speaker 1: Been Jade, we have to get you there, so you have you know what the you been week?
00:01:32
Speaker 2: Why don't we going next week? We'll organize, we go and we'll head on down. The school holidays. Oh my gosh, A little shout out to all the parents and grandparents and caras out there. Day one of school holidays. You become a professional taxi driver, a professional I'm going to make the thousand snacks a day and count how many times they say, mum ma'am.
00:01:52
Speaker 1: What are we going to do today?
00:01:53
Speaker 2: Where are we going to go?
00:01:54
Speaker 1: What are we going to do?
00:01:55
Speaker 3: Fed in?
00:01:55
Speaker 2: Can you drop? I reckon? Thirty bucks a day on your kids? In school? Holidays?
00:01:59
Speaker 1: Constant stimulation, they need it, say, never ending.
00:02:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, but hey, I think we should put a call out there. Eight double two to three double O, double low. Where haven't you been in South Australia? That you really should because it's not okay that I've not been to those two beautiful places.
00:02:14
Speaker 1: Well, you're really well traveled and you your mum I think lives in in Balley, that's right, so you go there quite often. And I'd never been there until about eighteen months ago, had no interest and then I went and went, oh my, I'm missing out. I should have been coming here all along. It's beautiful.
00:02:27
Speaker 2: Half of South Australia is probably nicked off there right now to escape it's.
00:02:30
Speaker 1: The warmer weather. But I think it's a bit the same with you with the Flinders and kij Once you go then you want to go back, so we need to get you there. But yeah, give us a call, folks, eight double two to three double O, double o. Where haven't you been in South Australia or anywhere for that matter, that a lot of other people have been and you feel like you should. We'd love to get your thoughts.
00:02:49
Speaker 2: We have a massive show coming up today. So yesterday it was a group protesting over the Walker Tower and also the live golf, the facelift that's going to take place at North atl A golf Course. A lot of people really unhappy about that. A lot of people really happy about that. But the Adelaide Parklands Association president's going to join us as well as our former Premier Lin Arnold. They've been really outspoken about how they're against that and don't want to change the face of South Australia, especially around the Government House. They're inessa so well have a chat about that. Also, a huge development has been given the Tick around Glenside, twenty story building, an apartment building in and around the Glenside area. Of course, that is just a hop, skip and a jump down the road from the new Burnside village, so that's attracting a lot of traffic already. I'm all for a bit of a facelift for a suburb, but twenty stories in a suburb that's significant.
00:03:44
Speaker 1: It is, isn't it. I think it's currently eight stories, so the building code has changed. It's going to mean that traffic, which is already quite dense around that spot. I'll try and avoid it if I can, sometimes unavoidable, but that's going to get really busy and a massive bottleneck. So yeah, we'll talk about that this morning too. Looking forward to that chat.
00:04:00
Speaker 2: And also a very strange incident that occurred at Parafield Airport yesterday where somebody walked onto the tarmat. We're going to cross live there and get an update. Also the Mushroom trial jury deliberations that continues today again. So they had yesterday off after a full week. This is going into its second week. The jury I believe, has been on this case. I feel like we're going into our twelfth week on this one. This is huge. How many people do you know that have been struck down by the flu already this year?
00:04:32
Speaker 1: So many and a lot of people are here across the road at nine at home. Sarah, my wife, she's been really crooked as well.
00:04:39
Speaker 2: She's wiped out. Ben has wiped out.
00:04:41
Speaker 1: I've been pretty lucky Touchwood so far, but it has been going around everywhere.
00:04:45
Speaker 2: Have you had your flu shot? I have, yes, I have not.
00:04:48
Speaker 1: Okay, naughty. Well you're okay though, You've got all right?
00:04:51
Speaker 2: And Ben had it and then it went on too, a really bad chest infection. I know three people that have already been hospitalized this year from the flu. So we're going to talk about that. Because numbers are a huge, they're sturging all over the country really at ramping. Numbers aren't fabulous. We're going to touch on that as well. And the Crowley's crow fans out there, they're going to be stoked today.
00:05:15
Speaker 1: Well it was a really good win, but at what cost? Where Wednesday hear what has happened with Joshua Shelley He went down with a nasty knee injury. But you're right. I mean Isaac Rankin career equalling best effort of five goals.
00:05:26
Speaker 2: He was so fired, I really am, because I feel like he's been somewhat quiet this year. I know he's a superstar, do not get me wrong, but for Isaac Rankin, I think he's been a little bit quiet. So this one was this is good to see.
00:05:37
Speaker 1: Yeah. Probably in terms of hitting the scoreboard, I think he has that's a fair call. I think he had seventeen goals from fifteen games before yesterday, but five he turned the game. In that second quarter they were that were in text twenty eight points down. Text was good.
00:05:49
Speaker 2: Two of them are bloody brilliant and were sensation. I was a little bit nervous in that second quarter. Oh hang about here, and then they just fired.
00:05:56
Speaker 1: Yeah they are great, So really good win for the Crows. We'll talk about all the football fall out. Sam poal Pepper shocking news there with him doing his knee.
00:06:04
Speaker 2: So pretty much of the day, wasn't it.
00:06:06
Speaker 1: I know, Port Adelaide season looks done now, but there's a lot of sport. Actually there's cricket, tennis. Wimwooden rolls on Formula one overnight. There was a bit of controversy there. So we'll get to all of that, and then we're going to talk about the algal bloom impact.
00:06:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, we are so seafood legend here in this state. And he really is. He's really outspoken, Michaelangelarchus. He's devastated for the industry. He's calling it a drought in the water and he's calling for the government to act that the industry really needs help. It's been too little, too late. So we're going to have a little word with him. Also, did you grow up watching Peter Russell Clark?
00:06:43
Speaker 1: Yes, I did Peter Russell Clark get so.
00:06:48
Speaker 2: Unfortunately he had a stroke on Thursday and died from complications. We're going to touch base with a really good mate of his, Darren Hinch, so he's going to come onto the show and share some yarns with us. And also, have you got a dog that lives in your street, perhaps next door call in eight double two three double O double ow that drives you crazy? Nothing worse than a yapping dog. There's new rules that are going to come into play very very soon amongst counsels that they can really stamp down on and stamp out dog barking and nuisance dogs. So gonna really yet get a lot of hell of a lot tougher in regards to that. We're going to bring in a dog behaviorist to give us some tips and tricks on if you've got a yapper, how can you silence the yapper?
00:07:37
Speaker 1: Well, the problem is the yapping often happens when they're not home, doesn't that? Yeah, you know, if they're outside and then someone else comes home from a neighbor, they just go like crazy and they don't stop.
00:07:46
Speaker 2: So we had to write a letter one day to a neighbor just to say, hey, guys, I'm not sure whether you're aware that your dog doesn't shut up. And we were having a barbecue one day and we just kept throwing snags over the just to shut this dog up so we could at least eat in peace. And then we yeah, we went around wrote this note and he came over that the dad was amazing. He was nearly in tears. He just said, I don't know what we got. I don't know what to do, but we know there is nothing we can do. He goes, I want to give the bloody thing away, but my wife won't let me wear at loggerheads. It can be really troublesome.
00:08:26
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, it's disruptive, isn't it, And it can be awkward for neighbors, and it can sometimes escalate. So we'll do all of that big show coming up here on five double a Brecky. We're up and about going to take a short break. On the other side, we'll get stuck into the news headlines seventeen minutes past six, Yes, it is twenty minutes past six o'clock here on five double a breakfast. Jade Robin and Tom Wren through until nine o'clock this morning and Jade a little bit of breaking news in the last couple of minutes.
00:08:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, Tommy, So, Main South Road in Rinella is closed northbound between Sheriff's Road and also States Road due to a collision. Now we are hearing report thoughts that it could be involving a car and a pedestrian, So that Maine South Road Ranella northbound between Sheriff's Road and also States Road is closed. So steer clear of that and avoid the area if possible, and we will bring you up to date to updates as soon as they start coming in. But that doesn't sound good.
00:09:19
Speaker 1: At all, No, it certainly doesn't. Okay. In the meantime, one of the stories we are covering this morning is all about the I guess redevelopment that we're getting here in sa Walker Tower and also live golf. We know that that's going to be happening, that we're going to be having a tournament at North Adelaide in the coming few years, and there is a bit of opposition to it. So let's have a chat with Sarah Russo from the Adelaide Parklands, who is the Adelaide Parklands Association President Sarah, thanks so much for coming on this morning with us on five Doable a breakfast.
00:09:49
Speaker 4: No problems.
00:09:50
Speaker 5: Thank you so much for having me this morning.
00:09:51
Speaker 1: Sarah, tell us what are your objections. We've seen the government's fairly keen to get things moving and to I guess expedite there the process of getting live up and about what's your issue with it?
00:10:05
Speaker 5: I think that's exactly. One of the things that we're most concerned about is the way that the government's gone about pushing through this legislation really quickly. You know, both houses of government didn't have a very long time to actually review the legislation, and within the bill that's been passed now are a number of really concerning things for what the future of the park plans could look like when this type of activity happens by the government. So not least of which is obviously Park twenty seven A is now also part of the proposed new site for the golf course, which is currently you know, a big, sprawling open park with many many trees. The legislation includes a three for one tree replacement, but there's no consideration in that for what maturity level the tree could be out, so for around the six hundred odds that we had estimated originally would need to be removed from Park one, which obviously those estimations would now increase. With Park twenty seven A also being part of this discussion, we could potentially see you know, six hundred trees replaced with three times as many, but those trees could be saplings. There is nothing in the legislation to prevent a significant gum from coming down and being replaced with anything other than a seedling.
00:11:24
Speaker 2: So, Sarah, would there be anything, any solution that would make that you and your group happy.
00:11:29
Speaker 5: Look, I think the big concern here is what this makes for what this means for the future of the parklands. The really other concerning thing about the legislation is that there's no provision in there that protects other parts of the parklands. And in fact, what this legislation does is it opens up potential for the government to take other parts of parklands as is required by this project. So, you know, it's just a continuing pattern that we're seeing of the government not putting in place or not standing by the protections that should be owed to open green in public space.
00:12:05
Speaker 1: And Sarah you've got quite a few signatures I believe several thousand, is that right, opposing the redevelopment.
00:12:11
Speaker 5: Yes, I'm not entirely certain what the number is up to today, but my understanding was that as that yesterday there were around four thousand signatures.
00:12:19
Speaker 1: Okay, Sarah, we might just get you to hold the line for a moment. We'll also have a chat to the former Premiere of South Australia, Lynn Arnold. Lynn, we've obviously just spoken to Sarah and you've heard that I would like to get your thoughts. What is your concern Is it the lack of public consultation or where are your chief concerns here?
00:12:38
Speaker 6: Well, I'm certainly worried about them, very much about the lack of consultation, but more seriously, I've also worried about the fact that this is leading to a state of mind where our precious park lands and precious open spaces are being regarded as a land bank quarry that whatever a new project comes up, let's just go there and use this what is being thought of as vacant land. But it's not. It's civic space, you know. In terms of the Walker Tower, which I'm very much opposed to. There's lots of opportunities within the CBD itself, within the square mile where that skyscraper could be put. I'm not opposed to the skyscraper, I'm opposed to being put where it is being proposed in.
00:13:20
Speaker 2: How how do you believe the tower and the live golf redevelopmental impacts the unique character that we have here the our park lands. How's it going to affect our character of Adelaide?
00:13:32
Speaker 6: Well, we have this tombstone tower that's been proposed to be put behind the Parliament House, taking up the Festival Plaza. Now, the Festival Plasta did need redevelopment, there is no doubt about that. But it is a civic space that has lots of potential. But not if you're going to put a huge tower shadowing, overshadowing Parliament House. Really, you know, you wouldn't put a building like that next to Parlament House Cander. You wouldn't put it next to the House of Parliament in London, you wouldn't put it next to the Capitol Building in Washington. Why do they think such an ugly building can be put next to our beautiful Parliament House here in South Australia.
00:14:12
Speaker 1: So where would you like to say it put if you were to put it somewhere?
00:14:15
Speaker 6: Oh well, within the CBD, we have lots of opportunities there. The old State Administration Building is a building well passed, it's used by day. It's government owned. That could well be offered to the Walker Corporation to build a tower there in Victoria Square. I mean the CBD was what was originally planned to be where business would be. That's why we call it the Central Business District. The Festival Plaza is part of the Cold North Terrace Boulevard precinct behind Parliament House. There that is civic space, not meant to be office space.
00:14:50
Speaker 2: What about the Park Lanslean. I mean I feel that the Walker Tower has already got the tick that that's going to go ahead. Unfortunately for you for yours.
00:14:57
Speaker 6: Well, I wouldn't be so certain about that. By the the cranker was changed and it's the Walker Tower. If it goes ahead, you know it'll be become a tower of regret. You know, the gateway across the road from Parliament House. Nobody believes that the demolition of the old South Australian Hotel was a good thing. I have not heard anybody say that we all regret the Gateway tower being put up. The same will happen if Walker two gets put up. It will be a tower of regret that people will look back on and say, how could we as a community have.
00:15:32
Speaker 7: Let that happen.
00:15:33
Speaker 6: And I believe that if enough thinking goes into this beforehand, and there is the opportunities for trade off with other government buildings, that the Walker Corporation can be attracted to. I'm not prepared to say that this is yet a lost cause.
00:15:48
Speaker 2: So what conversations are you still having men to hopefully make it go your way?
00:15:53
Speaker 6: Well, we're always a going to have to keep encouraging public debate about this issue. Yesterday relatively short notus. We've got a very good turnout of steps of Parliament House, and as you've just mentioned with Sarah, over four thousand signatures have been obtained already and it's growing every day. So I'm confident that we could keep this going. And certainly with this whole issue of the land bank quarry idea, do we want our open spaces, our parklands to be a land bank querry? Surely not. Yesterday the figures were given us to just how much erosion there has been of the parklands over the last twenty years, how many hundreds of hectares have been sequested for other purposes.
00:16:39
Speaker 1: Linn, thank you so much for joining us this morning. Really appreciate your time. Thank you very much, Tom Lennardel they're the former Premier of South Australia. And also Sarah Russo from the Adelaide Parklands, who is the association president. Jay, We're going to change tech now talk a little bit of sport at twenty eight minutes past six o'clock and we're going to do that all thanks to Gliderol garage doors adding strength, safety and style to your home Glatterol dot com dot I used so much sports to talk about Crows a great win yesterday.
00:17:07
Speaker 2: But you did touch on Rachelley. So what happens with Rochelle today?
00:17:10
Speaker 1: Obviously scan scans he's in today. I think I would think that we would know by probably lunchtime, maybe early afternoon, what the extent of the damage is now. The body language was actually quite positive. Justin Gerschwitz was doing the boundary for us yesterday and the doctors seem to think that it, you know, might be hopefully it wor was to a hyper extension or that would be actually be your best case scenario, maybe some really bad bone bruising. But we're going to have to wait for those scams.
00:17:34
Speaker 2: You know what I hate though, every time you hear a player so they've done an ACL, they like, I can still walk on it. It's all fine. I know that's that's the jogged off and I was like, oh, please, please, please, footy gods, don't let it be because he's had it. He's had a ripper season.
00:17:51
Speaker 1: He's been great.
00:17:52
Speaker 2: It's like a great guy.
00:17:53
Speaker 1: Well, I think the few weeks when they struggled the most of the Crows were probably when he was out with the rib injury, remember earlier in the season. Absolutely, but one that we know he's already confirmed. Jade's unfortunately Sam power Pepper, so his season is done and it's his left knee as opposed to his right knee from last year, so that is heartbreaking news for Sam power Pepper. We'll talk more footy with Timmy g Yep after seven o'clock, so looking forward to that. Just other winners and losers from the weekend. Alex Demonor, he's our only player left at Wimbledon, so huge clash coming up against Novak Djokovic, which is going to be tonight.
00:18:25
Speaker 2: He can do it though the records not so bad against the Joker.
00:18:29
Speaker 1: Well remember last year he was going to play but then he had that injury so he had to I think retire before they even started their quarter final clash. So it's in the fourth round this time. Massive opportunity for him. The Aussie cricketers they've had a win overnight. So Nathan Lyon took the final wicket.
00:18:50
Speaker 2: On Nathan Lyon trying to get back and taken.
00:18:55
Speaker 8: Very good catch by Nathan Lyon.
00:18:58
Speaker 1: And that is it. Australia win the second Test here.
00:19:03
Speaker 9: In Grenada, Go two, Nila and the margin one hundred and thirty three runs.
00:19:08
Speaker 1: Great effort Alex Carey. That audio thanks to ESPN, Greg Blewett the voice you heard there. That was a great win, tu Nilla, as we heard Alex Carey the man of the match, which is sensational. So Travis head man of the match last Test and now carry and Oscar Piastri second at the Silverstone Grand Prix overnight, so maintains his lead at the top of the championship. But it's getting close with Lando Norris, all thanks to gladiol Garad's doors. Time to head across to the newsroom, Melasha and Corey Nott. Yeah, we're up at about here on five double A Breakfast. It is Monday, the seventh of July. It is coming up to twenty three minutes to seven o'clock. Busy start to the show, and we've got plenty more coming up this half hour too.
00:19:48
Speaker 2: Jade, Absolutely we do. And that was a chilly old morning this morning. Bit of brain and as we look out of our cameras across Homash, it's a cloudy start to the day. But Tommy, I wanted to ask you my son, so Oasis they got together and they played their first concert over the weekend and it sounded sensational. Did you grow up with Oasis?
00:20:09
Speaker 1: I did. I've never been as big a fan as everyone else. Love my music, but I'm not obsessed with Oasis like a lot of people. I've got people at work that are going over to the UK to go and watch them perform really good luck, like totally respect, but.
00:20:23
Speaker 2: I wouldn't fork out that much. I don't think I love any band enough to do that.
00:20:28
Speaker 1: I'm not a huge Oasis fan.
00:20:31
Speaker 2: I'll see at the end of a dinner party, they always end up being played and you know, you sing along and you have a great time. Any Who, God is chatting over the weekend about bands, and my son who's thirteen, really really wants to go to Akadaca. So he's asked his dad, can you get me tickets to go to the Sunday. I was going to say that the Crystal five hundred if it's not the Velo it is now the BP, the BP Sunday. I don't know what date it is anyways, in a few months time, and I thought, I'm going to ask you, and I'd love to ask our listeners. Is thirteen too young to go and see Akadaka?
00:21:04
Speaker 1: No? I reckon, No, I reckon, it's great and especially if he's going with his parents.
00:21:09
Speaker 2: No, I'm not going to go, Dad, that's no interesting in going to that concert.
00:21:12
Speaker 1: It's a great father son moment. I reckon.
00:21:15
Speaker 2: What was the first concert you went to? How old were you?
00:21:18
Speaker 1: I think it was like in terms of heavy metal or something like. I think it was Silver Chair, Remember silver Chair? Oh yeah, Daniel Johns John Yeah, absolutely, I think I was fourteen maybe fifteen.
00:21:27
Speaker 2: Speaking of Bali, I saw him cruising around on a motorbike through the streets of Barley. I reckon it was in Semoniac looking super cool. I was like, oh John's Oh my god. I had a massive crush on him when I was a teenager.
00:21:42
Speaker 1: He was huge, he was massive and it just disappeared.
00:21:45
Speaker 2: Ye, kind of like Nirvanai reminded me a little bit.
00:21:48
Speaker 1: Was he with Natalie and brilliant? Yeah, I'm all right and thinking that.
00:21:51
Speaker 2: Indeed, let's get onto our next story. Now, this is a developing story that South Australian Government. They've approved a rezoning for a twine story apartment block at the former Glenside Hospital site. We touched on a little bit earlier now that would allow for two hundred additional homes and now knew it by residents. They're opposing the development siting overshadowing and infrastructure concerns. Joining us on the line now is Craig Pickering from the Glenside Development Action Group. Good morning to you, Craig.
00:22:19
Speaker 4: Good morning to a currently beautiful Adelaide.
00:22:22
Speaker 2: It is indeed, and I do love that area. My kids play at Glenunga footy club down there. So I know the area really well. I want to ask you, what's your group's primary concern about the approval of this twenty story development.
00:22:36
Speaker 4: Well, I suppose a lot of our concerns mirror those of Lynn and Sarah who you just spoke to, in that this is going to create a precedent in our suburbs. Twenty story buildings belong on the CBD. They do not belong in our suburbs. People who purchase into this development, such as myself, we're pro development because we live within a development. But we were told from day one ten years ago that another thing will be built over six stories, and then it became eight stories and now it's twenty two and a half times the size. And when you say that the government has made this decision, it's not the government, it's one man, Nick Champion, the minister who made this decision, and in my opinion, had approved it from day one in April last year, and so the public consultation process was a complete face. We have a legal opinion that it was an illegal process as well, and we will be taking ceedar Woods to court.
00:23:45
Speaker 1: So I think he's changed that building code. You're right, So is there a concern amongst the residents too, Craig, that it's going to I guess shadow the current residency and that will will also affect prices and all of those residents within that area. Is that one of the other concerns that you're hearing from people in the area.
00:24:04
Speaker 4: Absolutely, and unfortunately there is going to be no affordable housing within these twenty stories. And when you say up to two hundred extra residences, it's not it could be up to six hundred because what the minister has done has said on this particular parcel of land you can build up to twenty stories. There is absolutely no limitation as to how many twenty story towers SIDS can build or how big a one twenty story tower. It could be enormous structure that is put there. And the government has now said, or a Nick Champion has now said, go for it twenty stories over the entire area and he's just got no control now over how many twenty story building Craig.
00:24:55
Speaker 2: What are the next steps of taking them to court?
00:24:59
Speaker 4: Well, we have already into our submission within the public consultation period, which was finished in October last year, we had the legal opinion that the entire public consultation process did not meet legislative requirements, so it was illegal because a lot of people, including myself, were contractually bound not to protest against this development, and yet we have a public right to do so. There's also the fact that over ten years misleading and deceptive conduct by Cedar Woods in saying that we will build nothing over these stories. And that's what I was told when I purchased my apartment, and that's what hundreds of people here were told when they purchased their properties. And yet now they're going to go to twenty stories, and there is clear evidence that they had this in mind from the very beginning. So we are going to be usuing an under the Australian Consumer Law for misleading anterceptive conduct. And I do not see why we cannot be asking Cedar Woods to force them to offer to buy back our apartments at current market valuation rates, because they are, if not the development, but that we purchased into that they promise.
00:26:21
Speaker 2: Is there a level that you would be happy with?
00:26:25
Speaker 4: Yes, eight stories, because that's what was promised. We've already lost an oval, we've already lost hundreds of trees, we were already lost almost one hundred significant trees within this development in order to put up all these abarment buildings. And if you're driving past on Greenhill Road and happen to see when these buildings, trying to imagine one two and a half times the size and you will get an idea of the monstrosity that they want to build outside of the CBD is an incredibly arrogant decision by the minister. He said that he's limited, sorry, he has restricted the level to twenty stories, when that's completely false because that is exactly what Cedar Woods asked for. They asked for twenty stories, and he's saying he's restricted them to twenty stories. So the government's been again it's just wine boggling that he can ignore fowls. The signatories one hundreds submissions, local Council voting unanimously against this proposal is like the government is writing rushod over local communities everywhere at the moment.
00:27:40
Speaker 1: All right, really appreciate your time, Thanks so much for coming on this morning and voicing your concerns, Craig, Really appreciate your time. Great pickering there from the Glenside Development Action Group. Not happy with that twenty story.
00:27:51
Speaker 2: For the development I get that, and we do have to and we have to increase a housing, but are twenty stories in the suburbs I think excessive? I mean eight to ten. Sure, I get that, and they've done it really well along the parade, they're building some really beautiful apartment blocks, But twenty with the other things, a lot that's going to stick out like a big sore thumb.
00:28:12
Speaker 1: And it's a real thoroughfare, isn't it with traffic, you know, with crossroad not far away, Glen Osman Road, and you know, I think with everything that goes through there, the Arkhabar is a lot happening. It's a real bottleneck. And if you're going to have two hundred extra residences, like.
00:28:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, where are they parking? Where are they parking shops?
00:28:29
Speaker 1: Where we're going instruction, it's going to put a lot of stress on that area. So I think that's perhaps another long term concern of more concern. Immediate concern at least, anyway, was a story that bobbed up yesterday, Jane regarding at Jade the Parafield Airport bizarre scenes yesterday. Let's talk to Let's talk to Hayden Nelson from Channel seven who's joined us on the line, hadn't talk us through what exactly did happen yesterday? Police searching for a person who was seen running on the runways at Parafield Airport.
00:29:01
Speaker 10: Yeah, morning time, morning Jades. This happened about half past three yesterday afternoon, where people who were at the airport at the time saw this man dressed in dark clothing running around the landing strip here at Parafield Airport. Of course the training airports actually in terms of aircraft movement, busy airport in the state, so they had to shut down flights in and out. Thankfully it wasn't those big commercial planes, but still unsetandling for a lot of trainee pilots who would have been coming in out of here while Star Group officers, police and even firefighters went into a stormwater train. So this van has fleeted to have vanished into the stormwater system which runs around the airport, which runs around Parafield, and it's now going more than twelve hours and he still hasn't been bound. So police carrying out their searches this morning, carrying out their searches well into yesterday evening.
00:29:57
Speaker 8: But at this stage this.
00:29:59
Speaker 10: Suspect, they say, wearing dark colored clothes still hasn't been found. They also say there was no safety no flights were effected or put in danger at the time. But they certainly asking for anyone might have witnessed it, might have seen this person running around and see where they've gone to to get in touch.
00:30:15
Speaker 2: Have they got any idea who he is as an employee, an ex employee, or a complete stranger that's just broken in. Have they given you any details of who they're looking for?
00:30:25
Speaker 10: Not at this stage, shade no. And you know you don't want to sort of presume these things because there is a massive fine attached to massive safety and civil aviation safety laws that are attached to this.
00:30:37
Speaker 7: Kind of thing.
00:30:38
Speaker 10: So, you know, to either make their way into the airport, as you say, they could be an employee, They could have had a pass to be able to make their way over the fence line, but normally to be able to call going airside. Normally to be able to get airside, you have to have run through background checks, security checks. So for them to have made their way in, maybe they are on the inside, but maybe and I think the most likely scenarios that either just jumped over the fence or breach security somehow, and of course you can imagine there'd be some sort of investigation into that because you know, airports and a sort of sacred spaces, you don't expect people to be running around on them because it puts those flights in danger.
00:31:23
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Hayden, thank you so much. It's Hayden Nelson from Channel seven Sunrise reporting life from the scene. It is a very bizarre, bizarre incident.
00:31:32
Speaker 1: Strange story, isn't it. And look like you said, thankfully no planes were impacted. No, you know, traffic was affected. But the potential is you know, dire.
00:31:44
Speaker 2: But where does he disappear to? I mean, oh gosh, you washed out to where where is that even go?
00:31:50
Speaker 1: Yeah? Not good?
00:31:51
Speaker 2: So that's Crown Land. So I mean, I hate that fine is going to be.
00:31:56
Speaker 1: Enormous significant because it's potentially very very dangerous for a lot of people involved. So very strue and keep an eye on that story as it develops throughout the day. It's time to check out what is happening on our roads. Right now, you can enjoy your outdoor area all year round with an opening and closing roof design manufactured and installed locally by Lubra House. It's six fifty three here on five via Breakfast. It is time to find out what is going on with the weather. Jenny Horvat is from the Bureau of Meteorology. Jenny, just a few spots of rain around this morning, but we're expecting a lot more over the coming few days.
00:32:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. It's a bit of low cloud and drizzle out there this morning, especially around the hills, but we will see that clear during the course of today. Minimum temperature was actually last night at around ten pm eight point seven. It is currently a twelve point four degrees at the West Terrace Night Appuire of Observation site, and we are aiming for sixteen degrees across the city in Suburbs fifteen along the coast of fourteen four Mount Barker. But we are expecting our winds to increase overnight ahead of a system coming through to So that's the first one of a couple moving through this week. So we are looking to see even a bit of a patchy rainband moving through on the Tuesday through there with showers to follow, So we are expecting that to come through overnight and a bit of a wet day ahead on Tuesday. Maximum temperature back down to fifteen degrees and quite a bit of a windy overnight period through their next system coming through on Wednesday again, might have a bit of a reprieve overnight with those showers, but then picking up as we head into Wednesday. We're looking at a top temperature of thirteen degrees. Potentially Wednesday looking wetter than Tuesday at this stage, and then Thursday and Friday. Still got the chance to see those showers before they dry up as we head into the weekend. The start anyway, and possibly another front on Sunday. So a bit of a wet period coming up, guys, So a bit windy, and we'll be keeping an eye on those tides. Maybe not quite as high we have seen, but we are expecting to be higher than normal.
00:33:52
Speaker 1: Great stuff. Yeah, I think we're looking forward to the rain coming through. We haven't had that much this year, so bring on the wet weather. I say it's going to be good.
00:33:59
Speaker 2: Thank you, Jenny. Let's go to Senior Comfortable Matt Brown from Sapol and Matt unfortunately a very serious crash at Old Ronella early this morning. What's happened?
00:34:09
Speaker 11: Oh that's right, Jade, about five twenty am today, Emergency services were called to Main South Road at Old Ronella after reports that a car had collided with the pedestrian. Now Major crash officers are attending the scene and northbound traffic is closed on Main South Road from the Sheriff Road intersection, So please avoid the area if possible because there will be road closures in place for most of this morning.
00:34:31
Speaker 1: Matt, We've just spoken to Hayden Nelson about this bizarre incident at Parafield Airport yesterday. The search is ongoing.
00:34:38
Speaker 11: That's right. Police are investigating after a man was seen running on the runways out at Parafield Airport about three twenty five pm yesterday. Police were called to the airport on King's Road after report that a man dressed in dark clothing was seen near the runways. Now no flights were affected or aircraft was put in danger. The man then ran into a storm water drain and Star Group offices and MFS who's with breathing apparatus were called in to search through the drains and tunnels there, but the man wasn't located so anyone may have witnessed the incident. Issusked to call crime Stoppers on one hundred triple three, triple zero, because that's certainly no way to catch a plane.
00:35:13
Speaker 1: Tom, No, definitely not.
00:35:16
Speaker 2: It is a bizarre case, isn't it. Strike and stealing copper still seems to be the thing.
00:35:21
Speaker 11: To do unfortunately, Ja, Yes, but it will certainly lead to your prompt arrest. Has happened to a man the Builler Park about one point thirty am today police were notified of an alarm activation within a cabling pit on the corner of the Parade and Shipster's Road. Now police attended and located the suspect in his vehicle nearby, and a large quantity of copper piping was found inside the vehicle. So a forty year old man from Leebrook was arrested and charged with property damage and theft. He's refused bail and appear in court later today and his car was also seized for a further forensic examination. Now, the extent of damage to cable and communications equipment not known at this stage and services made affected in the area, but certainly a good idea to have these sensoral arms inside the cawing pits to the turf ease.
00:36:08
Speaker 1: Okay, well, thanks so much for joining us this morning, Matt plenty happening and look forward to catching up again later in the week.
00:36:15
Speaker 11: Thanks Tom, Thanks Jade, thank you.
00:36:16
Speaker 2: Let's head over to more well now. So this Mushroom trial, it is going into deliberations heading into their second week. The jury had a day off yesterday. Chris Reason from seven News. He is on the scene there, Rezo, Good morning to you. Oh good too, long time do speak Hey, talk to us about the trials picks off again today. Deliberations do anyway? When are we expecting them to reach a verdict?
00:36:45
Speaker 12: Well, that is a million dollar question. We just don't know. Jade and the jury went out last Monday a week ago, and they've been sitting in that jury room deliberating ever since. And unusually strangely but at the indication of how serious and how important this trial was, the judge also asked them to sit on the Saturday over the weekend as well. So they've done a full six days now locked in that room, two sessions a day, one in the morning, one in the afternoon from ten thirty to one o'clock, then from two fifty've lunch, then two fifteen to four fifteen. All up, I'm calculating I'm bad at mass I'm a journey over. I think it's about twenty twenty four hours so far sitting inside that room basically hammering out the issues and trying to come to a verdict, and so far nothing.
00:37:34
Speaker 1: Chris, you obviously have been covering the case. Is there just loads of evidence for them to be trawling through And how has the town reacted, how have the people been because it is a case that has just captivated the entire nation.
00:37:48
Speaker 12: Yeah, exactly, And Tom, I mean it's funny with the town. There's fifty to fifty if some of them say they're loving it, yes, they run a cafe or the whole army of people in their media, lawyers watch court watches, authors, you know, podcasters. So the hotels are all completely booked out, and accues of the coffee shops. So those people doing okay. Others aren't enjoying the note ariot and we would prefer it hadn't happened in their backyard. But yeah, mate, there is a ton of material for these jurors, the twelve good people there to go through. This is been a ten week trial, eight weeks of evidence, two weeks of summing up from the prosecution of the defense and the judge himself, which I think Justice Christopher Beale took about three four days to sum up the evidence and hand it back to the jury. Their brains would have been bursting, it would have been it's such an onerous task to put on twelve ordinary citizens to try and remember all of this stuff, and to try and go through this huge volume of material that they've had the process and including. At the end of it all, Justice Bill handed them each an eighty six page folder and said, here you go. This is my summary the trial, the timelines, the chronologies, all the important bits and pieces in case you need to die in and check these things now interesting. Normally in a case like this, when they're locked down for so long and stuck for so long, there's feeling like there's a bit of gridlock in there. They would come back to the judge and they would say, we need to have a chat. And they would say to the judge, we're stuck. What do you recommend? And the judge will give them some direction, answer their questions, try and help them through any problem areas that they might have encountered, the legal problems, evidentiary problems, and send them back into that room and say try again. Now, I would suspect potentially we'd see something like that today, because if they're at loggerheads, they need a circuit breaker to get them going again. But you know, it's not a good sign. They're going so long, and we'll see what happens today. We're sort of all going to be standing outside that court in an hour and a bit's time, watching and waiting for that jury room to come up with a resolve.
00:39:52
Speaker 2: So, Chris, they've kept away from friends, family, media, Where are they. Can you paint a picture of what a day in the life of the juris would be like right now?
00:40:02
Speaker 12: Yes, it's been an extraordinary time for them, and you can imagine because they when they started out it began this process. There were fifteen of them, ten men, five women. One was sent home for talking out of school. That's spoken to his family, so he was dismissed, discharged and told to go home with tail between legs. It got down on the final day of before the judge sent them out there there were fourteen of them and they had to ballot too off and they did that just literally with a box and pieces of paper with their numbers inside, they pulled out two numbers. Those poor two souls left the courtroom, didn't say a word.
00:40:36
Speaker 6: We're asked to leave.
00:40:37
Speaker 12: Thank for their service. But imagine that ten weeks you've been sitting there and then they say, no, we've got to take down from fourteen to twelve. You were the spares in case someone got sick. We don't need you anymore. Thanks for your service.
00:40:47
Speaker 6: Se you later.
00:40:48
Speaker 12: So then it got down to twelve and the judge said to them, look, because this case is so important, and because it's so many people, not just in Australia around the world of watching it, I'm going to sequester you. So very unusual in Australia but not unheard of. He locks them down to their hotel rooms so they can't move. So from that moment onwards, that was Monday afternoon, they've been stuck together. They get from the jury room onto the bus. From the bus to the hotel room, they have to surrender their devices, their phones, laptops, iPads, all the rest of it. They can't watch free to wear TV in case they suddenly see a news bulletin or a news update. They only have certain channel streaming channels they're allowed to watch. They can't ring their friends and family if they want to contacts and family. There's three jury keepers they're called, that hang around the hotel with them. They approach a jury keeper and say here's a phone number, can you please ring a wife? Or conversely, with the wife and the kids want to ring the jury keeper, they ring the dura, They ring the jury keeper and they put them through and the jury keeper then has to monitor that phone call to make sure they're not talking about any of the case matters. And also, the guys aren't allowed to congregate together outside the jury room and talk about the case. So when they're at the hotel room, in the in the canteen, or at the restaurant, and they can't talk about the case. They can't talk about it on the bus, they can't talk about in the corridors. They can only talk about it in that jury room. To keep them all together and keep them all.
00:42:12
Speaker 1: On track, We're all watching with beta breath to see what happens today. Chris loving usummation. We could talk all day, have a great day, and hopefully we get some kind of solution today.
00:42:21
Speaker 12: Great to talk again, Tom, Take care guys, Thanks a lot.
00:42:24
Speaker 1: There Chris Reason from seven News Time to head across to our news room.
00:42:27
Speaker 5: Now in the conference.
00:42:29
Speaker 1: Hope you're having a great start to your morning. It is eleven minutes past seven o'clock. It is Monday, the seventh of July. Jay Roberin, Tom Wren. We're going to be with you for the next couple of weeks. David and Will they're taking the next couple of weeks off. It's been a big start to the year for them and Jade. Speaking of big, we've got a massive hour coming up here, including chatting to Chris pick them very shortly about vaccination rates and the fact that we need to get the flu shots for the kids out there.
00:42:53
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, and the adults as well.
00:42:55
Speaker 1: The flu.
00:42:55
Speaker 2: Ever, seems like everybody I talked to you at the moment has has got the flu, and it's a nasty one. I've heard a lot of people, but I think I said earlier too in this show that at three people I know have been hospitalized because gone into a really nasty chest infection. So yes, I haven't got my vaccination yet.
00:43:12
Speaker 1: You're going to have to do that.
00:43:13
Speaker 2: That's whether it's too late. I'll be interested to find that one out.
00:43:16
Speaker 1: Too. Well, we'll do that a little bit later. We'll also talk plenty a sport with Timmy Jennifer, a big weekend of football for the Crows and Port Adelaide in particular, also food Land. We want to talk to Josh Peak about a settlement that has been reached and you talked about this story earlier. Barking dogs issues it.
00:43:35
Speaker 2: And we've got little lots of messages coming through on the text line O double four eight eight thirteen ninety five and give us a call eight double two three double low, double low. If you're living next door to a yapping dog, a constantly barking dog, or maybe you own one and you just don't know what to do. Now there's new laws and rags coming in to really clamp down on that because it is annoying and it can almost drive you to want to move house. I reckon it's one thing that really grates me. And I know that there's people out there that'll say, but Jade, that's what dogs do. They bark. I get that, but it gives me the rates.
00:44:08
Speaker 1: Well, it can be a real problem. Count it between neighbors. So we'll talk about that story a little later this hour in the meantime, Donald Trump has just held a press conference. He's always done a grad Let's have a listen to what the President of the United States has had to say.
00:44:22
Speaker 13: I am helping you, Grant, I'm helping it. It a lot, and it's a war that should have never happened. It's a war that should have never started if I were president, if the election weren't rigged, and it was rigged, rigged you so badly. And that's come out. Read Miranda Divine in the New York Post today. The election was totally rigged, and if it weren't rigged, you wouldn't have a war with Russia right now. And you wouldn't have had inflation. You wouldn't have had the October horror show with Israel and Amas. You wouldn't have had.
00:44:52
Speaker 1: Any of it.
00:44:52
Speaker 7: You wouldn't have.
00:44:53
Speaker 13: Had the recent show down with Iran. You wouldn't have had any of it.
00:44:57
Speaker 1: All Right, Well, there is the President of the United States, Donald Trump, saying the twenty twenty election was rigged and that if he was elected, there would have been no war in the Ukraine. So yeah, he's always got some interesting things to say, does Donald Trump. It is fourteen minutes past seven o'clock. We're going to be talking health issues right now, Jade, because vaccinations, we know you just said amongst adults and kids, we need to get those flu jabs going and to talk a little bit more about that, we're joined by the Health Minister Chris Pickton, who has called in this morning. Chris, thanks so much for your time here on five double A Breakfast.
00:45:32
Speaker 14: Good morning, Tom and Jane, thanks for having me.
00:45:34
Speaker 1: Tell us it's a fairly nasty strain. Jade was just mentioning a moment ago out there, how important is it for kids to get these vaccinations and what is the government doing to make it easier.
00:45:46
Speaker 14: Well, it's critically important, and as Jade was saying, it feels like every second person across Adelaide at the moment is getting sick, and a lot of them are getting the flu. And the flu is a lot nastier than getting a cold. People can be particularly struck down and sadly some people can end up in hospital, and particularly older people, people with chronic diseases, but also really young kids as well. Young kids haven't got the sort of susceptibility, you know, the tolerance to the flu before they haven't experienced that, and some of them, unfortunately end up in hospital, and already this year that we've had well over one hundred of those young kids have to be admitted to hospital, which is not what anyone would want for their parents. So we're really putting out the call for people to make sure that they've got their flu vaccines. Thankfully, South Australia has the best mainland state vaccination rate anywhere in the country, but we know we can go higher. But we are particularly concerned about young kids. Kids under the age of five. There is a free flu vaccine available for them, but only a bit over twenty percent of parents have got their young kids vaccinated for the flu. So we're trying to make it easier. So from today it'll be available for you to go to your local pharmacy. We're authorizing pharmacists to give the free flu vaccine for kids under the age of five, whereas previously that was a cohort where we said you had to go to your GP, and we know how difficult it is for people to access their GP, so hopefully this will make it easier and mean that more parents will be able to get the young kids vaccinated and hopefully not end up in a situation where they have to present to hospital with the young kid, which is every parent's worst nightmare.
00:47:19
Speaker 2: Why do you think the uptake so low this year.
00:47:23
Speaker 14: Well, it's pretty low generally for kids under the age of five unfortunately, so it's not different to previous years. I think one of the issues is getting availability of GP appointments. We know how difficult that is. We know sometimes it can be expensive. We know it's another barrier. Whereas a lot of flu vaccines are now happening in community pharmacies and it's more convenient for people to go to their community pharmacy get that vaccine there, and so we're now making it available for you to get your young kids vaccinated at the community pharmacy, and we're pretty optimistic that that will mean that more parents would be how they think this will be a lot easier, be able to get the whole family done at once and make sure that their kids can be protected rather than hunting around to try to find the GP appointment.
00:48:10
Speaker 2: Chris, I just wanted to ask you. Over the weekend, the Ambulance Employee Association, they've posted on social media saying that data release today shows June twenty twenty five was the second worst month for ramping on record in South Australia, with five three hundred and eighty two hours lost to ambulance ramping.
00:48:28
Speaker 14: What do you say to that, Well, our hospitals are really busy, and one of the factors is the flu and COVID and other respiratory diseases that they're seeing at the moment. Another factor is that so many of our staff are sick at the moment, so that's clearly a factor once they get the flu, but also GPS and age care staff are down at the moment with being sick in the community as well. The other factor is age care availability, So our hospitals are so full with people who don't need to be in them. So we've got over two hundred and fifty people in hospital system who are ready for discharge, who are ready to go to age care, but we can't get them age care places, so that takes away spots for the next patient who need them, and that means as we are spending literally billions of dollars in expanding our health system, it's getting swallowed up by this federal age care issue. So we're raising this for the federal government. We need to see more age care beds because we can't just have our public hospital system beds taken up with age care patients who don't need to be in them anymore.
00:49:29
Speaker 2: So what immediate steps are being taken to reduce this figure in July?
00:49:32
Speaker 14: Then, So we're taking every possible measure that we can, including using every possible beds across our health system to open up. We even have used capacity in places like you know, We've opened beds in the Pullman Hotel to get patients out of hospital who don't need to be in them anymore. We've reopened beds at Hampstead, and we've got another one hundred and eighty additional beds that we're opening over the next six months. We've hired over t two thy seven hundred additional doctors, nurses and other clinicians across the health system. So we are pulling every possible lever that we can in terms of building capacity in our health system. But obviously we're also putting the call out in terms of what the community can do in terms of helping them having to go to hospital in the first place, and part of that is making sure that they're protected for the flu, and part of that is also making sure that young kids are protected because we know that that's the biggest cohort of patients who have had to go and be admitted to hospital is those kids under five, and we don't want to see any more that have to in that cohort having to go to hospital.
00:50:36
Speaker 2: And can you guarantee that our elderly will be looked after because you know, over the years, we've seen front page of the elderly being stuck outside, you know, in the freezing cold, waiting hours to be seen, which is completely unacceptable.
00:50:50
Speaker 15: Yeah.
00:50:50
Speaker 14: Look, our doctors and nurses work incredibly hard to care for every patient and to look at the triaging of patients to make sure that we're seeing the most urgent fastest. There's also a variety of different alternatives available for people other than emergency departments that weren't there a couple of years ago. We now have many care urgent care clinics that are available for things that are as urgent but still urgent but are emergency cases. We've got additional urgent care hubs located across Adelaide which are available. So there's a variety of different ways that people can get help. We've got twenty four hour pharmacies located across Adelaide as well, So if people are in doubt about what to do, really encourage people to call one eight hundred double two triple two, which is Health Directs number and I can speak to a nurse twenty four hours a day to talk about their condition and what options are available for them to get help.
00:51:43
Speaker 1: Chris, thanks so much for your time this morning on five double A breakfast.
00:51:46
Speaker 14: Thanks a lot, Chris.
00:51:47
Speaker 1: Picked in the Health Minister. Now in the meantime, the Shadow Health Minister, Ashton Hern has called in. Ashton. You just heard what the minister had to say. What's your response? What would you like to add to that?
00:51:57
Speaker 9: Yeah, good morning everyone. Look, one of the things that opposition's been calling for for a while now is a free flu vaccination blitz. This is something that's done in Western Australia and in Queensland and we think that given there's now more than one thousand patients who are who have been in hospital as a result of the flu, now is the time to roll out this free flu vaccination blitz because not only would it go some way to helping unclog our health system, but it would also save a family of four around one hundred bucks. So given the fact that the government are obviously wanting to increase the vaccination rate, we think this is a common sense move and we'd encourage them to get behind it.
00:52:34
Speaker 1: Okay, thanks so much for that, Ashton, Ashton Hern there the shadow Health Minister, doctor Peter Sue Bromanium, THEASA President, has been waiting patiently and has also heard what has been said this morning. Doctor, what are your thoughts Those ramping figures are quite alarming.
00:52:50
Speaker 16: They are quite alarming, and I think you know the message that built the minister and the opposition Bookston has said is key that you've got to get yourself vaccinated to reduce the pressure on our public system. We've got a perfect storm, don't we. We've got a soaring number of influenza cases. The Minister's already made the point and we reiterate the point. Access to GPS is the main problem. Having people with the influenza that could be prevented because they can't get access to GPS is not a good solution. The rising hospital demand is causing a stress on the system and also our doctors and nurses and Allied health people get the same as everybody else. They are also exposed to falling ill. So all of these leads to a system that is stretched. I just have to reiterate the point. Individually, we can actually contribute to this by preventing ourselves from getting flu by getting vaccinated.
00:53:55
Speaker 2: Is it too late to get vaccinated now?
00:53:58
Speaker 16: No, not at all. I think we know that the impact of vaccination, even if you're in the middle of a flu season, is very positive. That you prevent yourself not just from getting flu, but getting flu in such a serious way that you require hospitalization. The Ministry made the point that we've got a high rate compared to other states, but it's still not good enough. We need to get as many people as possible vaccinated.
00:54:24
Speaker 1: Okay, thanks so much for coming on this morning, doctor Peter Subramaniam, the IMASA President. It is twenty three minutes past seven o'clock. Time to check out what's going on the roads again right now? Well, thanks to luver House, you can enjoy your outdoor area all year round with an opening and closing roof design manufactured and installed locally by lub House. And it is twenty eight minutes past seven o'clock, which means it is time for podcast with the station. Tim Ginevah on five double A Breakfast. G Yeah, you's so much sport to go through from the weekend. He joins us on the line. Now, Timmy, good morning to you.
00:55:07
Speaker 17: Good Jade, good a Tom, how are you really good?
00:55:10
Speaker 1: Thank you Gee? With some interesting results across the footy world, a good win for the Crows, not so great for Port. But the injuries, Timmy, we're waiting to hear what's happening with Joshra Shelley and just devastation for poor Sam paw Pepper.
00:55:24
Speaker 17: Yeah it is, Isn't it so disappointing. Just worked so hard to get back into the game this year and he's been finding his feet playing some really good football when on the ball for Port in the second term when they looked like they were getting blown away and just held them together until he did his knees. So yeah, that's a real sad one for Sam power Pepper. Joshra Shelley's very similar where both of the incidents they don't look like much. I mean Sam had nobody around him. Josh went up for a mark and lands down awkwardly on his left knee and that's unfortunately how a lot of those do happen. Just went out. You don't know what the result is, so you sort of cross your fingers and hope the best for both, but your heart sort of sits in your mouth while you wait for the result.
00:56:12
Speaker 2: It was so sad to sit and watch that, Timmy. I think Crow's fans they can well maybe start booking their finals tickets. Where does port sit? Do you reckon?
00:56:24
Speaker 13: Well?
00:56:24
Speaker 17: As far as the Crows go. The reason I'm feeling in this morning is because Steve and I had to go to Melbourne. He's actually engraving the cup as we speak.
00:56:35
Speaker 2: He's bitching his danity already.
00:56:38
Speaker 17: He might be a little ahead of the game, Jade, but I think he's onto something. They're playing great footage. Look, they were challenged by Melbourne. I really thought Melbourne took it up to him, but there was just a bit of class and you know, watching Josh Rankin's five goals in isolation, three of them were set shots by really good ball movement that got over the top of the opposition and we're able to pinpoint him. He kicked two magnificent ones on the run and one I think he was absolutely taking the mickey from the boundary throw and just showing the balls. He hooked it around, But they really are showing that they are a classy outfit that deserve to be top four come the end of this season.
00:57:20
Speaker 2: Does your text play on.
00:57:24
Speaker 18: Next week?
00:57:25
Speaker 19: Yes?
00:57:25
Speaker 17: I think they'll give him the game next week for sure.
00:57:27
Speaker 2: Jade, Yes, very good, pretty galans.
00:57:30
Speaker 17: Yeah yeah, look, I reckon It probably depends on how the season ends, Jade, and that could be a big factor on whether he does play on or not.
00:57:37
Speaker 1: I'm going to be intriguing, Timmy, looking forward to you tonight. You're on with Campo so plenty coming up. What's a cricket tennis san Formula one can't wait to hear tonight from four o'clock.
00:57:47
Speaker 17: Thank you guys.
00:57:47
Speaker 1: Huh good stuff. Timmy ginover there, It is time for the seven thirty news now Melussia and Cory Norris. Almost twenty minutes to eight o'clock here on five DOAA Breakfast, Monday, the seventh of July.
00:57:59
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Tom and we've been talking about the flu vaccination. Lots of messages coming through on the five double a text line from people saying that they've gone and got a free shot a lot of people saying they've been struck down with the flu as well, and it's been an absolute horror. Helen has said here, why wouldn't the government make vaccinations free prior to winter, knowing how bad the flu season was going to be? Stupidity fail to plan, is planning to fail. I'm a little bit with Helen here. Why would you not set up, I don't know, in Vic Square or down there in High Mar Square a big booth for a week in the lead up to winter and just offer free vaccinations. I know that had cost a lot, but it costs a significantly less amount than what it's costing our public hospitals right now.
00:58:38
Speaker 1: Well the other thing too is the efficiency. And you know what it costs employers when they lose all of their workers, you know, ellience, millions, tens of millions. I would have thought, let's have.
00:58:49
Speaker 2: A chat now with Josh Peak, who is the secretary of the Shoppers union essay, because there has been a big win, a big payday for hundreds of regional South FOSSi supermarket workers and to explaining to us, Josh joins us on the line.
00:59:01
Speaker 20: Good morning, good morning Dave, and good morning Tom. Thanks having me on.
00:59:06
Speaker 2: Thank you. So five point five million dollars in back pay to over five hundred regional supermarket workers. Explain this case to us.
00:59:16
Speaker 20: Yeah, look, it's really significant. You've done the farm as Limited as a publicly listed he's a publicly held company based in Adelaide that owns and operates about twenty five regional supermarkets right across region in South Australia from Kingston in the southeast of Gladston obviously with under Porta Gusta in the north and the north of our state. So quite a large business, employed about seven hundred workers, and we've been in a legal dispute with them commencing in twenty and twenty one, claiming really significant under payment for misclassifications, not paying overtime correctly, just general non compliance with the Fair Work Act and the retail. A Warden really proud that we've been able to secure a settlement now that those workers, about five hundred workers, we'll get around five point five million dollars as a result of this settlement, So we're.
01:00:08
Speaker 2: Talking about eleven thousand dollars per work here. That's a significant amount of money. Is this a whoopsie daisy? We didn't you know what we were doing or was this malicious?
01:00:19
Speaker 20: Well terms of intent, it's a bit difficult for me to say. I think what I can say is that they were incredibly broad underpayment, ranging from workers not being paid the managerial rate if a manager, workers being not paid overtime working past thirty eight hours, and the amounts do vary. One worker, in fact, is receiving one hundred and forty five thousand dollars, so you know, a really significant payment to that person. And these stores, you know that these are like the major employer in some of these towns and really the lifewhile of many of these communities. And you know, we have a household that's secured over one hundred and fifty thousand dollars because the entire family was working for the supermarket in that town. So you know, really some really significant payments. But I should say although those some sounds down large, this was always their money. This is money that they should have been paid properly to start with. And so we're really proud to have fixed that. We're really proud to be hard of delivering that money back to those workers. But I've got to say, you know, the working with these four or five hundred workers over the last four years. Has been an incredible privilege. These are some of the most sort of the earth hard work in South Boggies, the kind of people when you visit these towns, you really know the lifeblood of these communities, and you know, it was a really big deal for them to stand up against their employer and say, you know, we're not being paid properly. I am managing the store right now, and I should be paid for this. I've worked over my hours for the week and I should be getting paid for out or I didn't get the correct allowance. And that was a really hard thing to do for lots of those those workers, and they did it, and they did it and now they've received justice for that. And from the union's perspective, we're just incredibly proud to have been part of that, part of partnering with those workers and being part of delivering something, you know, one hundred and forty five thousand dollars to a regional self of the worker like that, that really is life changing stuff, and we're just really proud to have been part of the delivering such a good outcome and a fair outcome for those workers.
01:02:23
Speaker 1: And as you say, it's money that they're entitled to. It's not like it's a winfall. It's money that they've actually earned. How do we make sure, Josh, that this doesn't happen again.
01:02:33
Speaker 20: Well, I think it's really clear that people see. It is a really important reminder that there are really clear of obligations under the Fair Work Acts, you know, in employers now really do need to make sure they take it every step to pay their workers correctly. Workers of course should be che checking their pacelets. If they're working up at a higher role, they should be getting paid for it. If they're working over thirty eight hours a week, they should be getting over time. These aren't necessarily complex rules either. These are some really basic basic tests. So I think it is just a really clear reminded that it is the law that you must pay your workers correctly, and a good reminder to work is out there to check check their pastts and make sure they are getting everything that that they're entitled to.
01:03:18
Speaker 2: And Josh, you know you touched on it. I was just going to say, you know, and good on them for having the guts to come forward, because it's not you know, you're not being a whistleblower. This is your money. And how did this start? Did one person talk to somebody else in their supermarket to say, hey, are you being underpaid here? How did you first find out about this?
01:03:39
Speaker 20: It was pretty remarkable. We did a general visit to a to a particular supermarket and a number of young workers came up to us and said, our manager won't say anything, but we're going to say something. She's not being paid correctly. And that was phenomenal that a group of young colleagues of this manager stood up to her first. And so out of that we started an investigation about it wasn't just this one manager, it was lots of managers right right across then their network of stores, and we lodged the first action on behalf of six of sixty workers, and over the last four years of investigating and going to the federal court, that expand it's not just being about manager's ways to pay, but being about allowances and over time more generally. So it was a pretty amazing start, and I just think that it is such a great reminder about the kind of community that exist in these country towns as well, that you know, you've got the colleagues, the young colleagues of a store manager coming up to the union and saying you need you need to go and speak to her because she's not being paid paid correctly. I just think it's a great story and from just those few words, five and a half million dollars is being delivered to regional south of the right across the state. I think it's just incredible.
01:04:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you should be applauded for standing up for the rights of those workers. Josh, thanks so much for joining us this morning on five double A Breakfast.
01:05:03
Speaker 20: Thanks so much having me on.
01:05:05
Speaker 1: Jeez, good stuff. Josh Peek there, who is the secretary for the Shoppers Union here in South Australia. We're going to check out the roads. Now you can enjoy your outdoor area all year round with an opening and closing roof designed manufactured and installed locally by Lubra House seven fifty one, nine five Breakfast seven fifty one and Barking Dog's Jade. It can be a real bug bear.
01:05:29
Speaker 2: Oh can it? What I was saying before, I had a dog next to us that just barked constantly, and we were trying to have a barbecue one day and it just would not shut up. So we just kept throwing sausages and.
01:05:41
Speaker 1: Chops over, fatten up the dog, keep.
01:05:44
Speaker 2: It gold, just to keep it quiet for half an hour so we could sit out and have a bloody barbecue in peace. But no, we we politely wrote a nice little letter, dropped it off, and I said that the owner came around and he was almost in tears. He was almost pulling his hair out, going I know there is nothing I can do. I want to give the dog away, but wife, you just won't let me have it. It's a serious problem, and you know it's it's it's something that you know if you don't nip it in the bud really early. As puppies, I think, well, I don't know if you can teach an old dog new trix Can you do that? We've got just the man. George joins us now from sit Drop Stays the director and head trainer. There, George, good morning to you. How are you this morning?
01:06:28
Speaker 7: Good morning Jake, Thanks for having me on.
01:06:30
Speaker 2: Can you teach an old dog new tricks?
01:06:33
Speaker 7: Well? We believe you can. Yes, how do you well? You I mean the situation you spoke of, you really do need to have enough control that you can stop your dog barking but unfortunately, most situations that we have to help with is when the dogs owner's not there, which makes it difficult. So yes, I mean a dog that's eurotic is going to bark a lot. Sounds like your labor's dog was neurotic. So you know, things we can do is one management when you're not there, you can keep the dog comfortable in a safe environment that it's not distress because neurotic dogs and anxious dogs bark the most. That's what we are finding. So if you can make sure your dog is in a comfortable, safe place. As a comfortable environment, some people isolate their dogs from certain areas. You know your neighbor could have isolated the dog into another area.
01:07:39
Speaker 2: We're talking about this because local councils in Essay, they're being handed more power to act on nuisance dogs barking, with a whole lot of new laws coming in and increased fines for dog attacks and those and puppy farms and dog barking. Do you welcome them, George?
01:07:56
Speaker 7: Do I sorry, do you welcome these.
01:07:58
Speaker 2: New these all these wren balls and rates.
01:08:01
Speaker 7: Look, some people do need well, I kick up the bum as we would say, to get onto it. But it's not the clients. We see people that are genuinely trying to stop this problem and are trying to work with their neighbors, and it can get out of control. You know that some neighbors have unhealthy expectations, but most people try and do the right thing once they know it can get into disputes where the neighbor hasn't contacted them, they just go straight to the council. So we see both sides of the story. Yes, the councils sometimes do need more power to stop dogs when people aren't doing the right thing and aren't trying, are't fulfilling their dogs. But we also see that some people need time. You know, sometimes there's some underlying anxiety issues, relationship based or etcetera that needs some time to to work.
01:09:01
Speaker 1: And in the first instance, George, what's the first step that a dog owner should do if they have identified the problem, they say, right, I need some help. What can they do to try and you stop this issue of a barking dog or a dog that's not being obedient while they're out of the home. Where should they go? What should they do?
01:09:17
Speaker 7: Well, they need to start, Like I said, there's certain things that you can do to manage this a whole lot better, and that is isolating dogs from certain areas. If we know something's triggering in the backyard, you can dog either inside or not allowed to get to that area. You can make sure they're getting enough exercise, they're fulfilled as a dog, they're getting stimulation, they're not bored. I've got something that you're leaving them with something. And then you get a bit deeper into making sure you're calm when you leave, you're not anxious when you leave, because your dog will become anxious. An anxious dogs bark. You can make sure your dogs before you leave, you leave it when it's anxious, it's going to stay there. So there's other things like some people leave music on or sounds to cover up some of the background noises. There's some people get success from bark collars, not always. There's some dogs it won't help with. And then there's deeper underlying issues like our relationship with that dog distress, we're not there when we're not there. Why is it distressed when we're not there?
01:10:30
Speaker 2: Oh, they love us so much? And also going into that, there's such things as COVID dogs. Isn't there a heap of us bought dogs in COVID and we were home all the time, and now all of a sudden we're going back to the office. Is that where you're seeing all this anxiety in dogs because they've got this separation good thing going on.
01:10:48
Speaker 7: Look, we've got to be careful with that when we're a lot of this is addressed while we're with them, and we've got to be careful they're not relying on OUs for too much attention and stimulation. We're not overdoing it because they can become very dependent on it, and believe it or not, they start to control our attention at least to become very dependent on knowing that we're there to give them attention and sue their anxieties with affection, and then when we leave they can't cope well. So a lot of the issues we are seeing are due to that type of relationship issue where we're overdoing and we're not providing some structures, some rules. There's certainly some exercises listeners could be doing while they're there that can help the dog. One is helping it to be on its own. Sometimes while you're there, you know the exercises are great, but you go on your mat and I'm moving to other rooms. You stay there. It helps the dog let go. So there's wholly been exercises. We get great success when someone's committed to fixing things.
01:11:56
Speaker 1: It's like anything, It just needs a lot of work, doesn't it.
01:11:58
Speaker 2: Podcast we've got you know you've move otherwise you get a little bit fidgety and annoyed.
01:12:03
Speaker 1: And it's separation anxiety thing, isn't it. You know, if the dog becomes too reliant on its owner, you know, when they do have to go to go to work or you know, run some errands or whatever the case might be, you know, that's when the issues can arise. But George Legit Darkest, thanks so much for coming on this morning, sit Drops Day director and head trainer. Hopefully that might help sort out some of your issues if you've got a barking dog in your neighborhood.
01:12:26
Speaker 2: Hey, guess what today is?
01:12:27
Speaker 1: What's today?
01:12:28
Speaker 2: Well, chocolate day, everybody out there. You can have a Natella on your toes. You can have a hot chocolate.
01:12:34
Speaker 1: In the morning.
01:12:35
Speaker 2: You can have a big choky doughnut at lunchtime. Today is a day you can eat your body weight in chocolate.
01:12:42
Speaker 1: Well, We're going to celebrate that next hour, aren't we.
01:12:44
Speaker 2: Jade say, what's your favorite chocolate?
01:12:46
Speaker 1: I like the probably the normal milk dairy, but I love a bit of white chocolate too. Yeah, i'll do for me. Really, I don't like dark chocolate. That's my only one that I don't like.
01:12:56
Speaker 2: Same and they say that that's really good for you.
01:12:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, that's probably why I don't like it. All that and more coming up after the eight o'clock news shortly, and it is seven minutes past eight o'clock here on five double A Breakfast Monday, the seventh of July. We're going to be on for the next couple of weeks as well, Jade and I another big hour coming up as well. And Jay, we've had plenty of text messages coming through about our story on barking dogs and the problems they're causing a lot of people out there.
01:13:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, a few people messaging in with their tips. On the five double A text line you can join the conversation as well. A few people saying leave the radio on, that's always a good idea. We actually leave Fox Footy on when we go out because we watched so much footy in the house the dogs I think are just used to footy, so we're like, when we go out, we'll put on the read.
01:13:39
Speaker 1: It's a good idea. It's a bit of ambient noise for them.
01:13:42
Speaker 2: Well, there's highs and there's lows. You know that they ride the wave also here. I went to the farmers market yesterday with people and their dogs were everywhere, getting in the way with long leads. Why the hell can't you leave them home for a couple of hours. I do love dogs, but not at the markets. I don't love dogs at restaurants and cafes. I have to say I don't think there's a need for them there.
01:14:05
Speaker 1: I'm not big for it either. Farmers Market great place, but that listeners right, you know, when they get in the way, it's kind of like, really should they be here? And then people trip over them. Potentially it has to get it though. They need their exercise, but there can be a time and a place.
01:14:20
Speaker 2: I reckon just dogs around food, I just don't go together. And then Shane says I'm precious for these dogs barking while I was having a barbecue and that I shouldn't have thrown over the meat to keep the dog quiet. I could have made the dogs sick, which I do understand that, but I understand dogs bark, that's what they do. But this was incessant, loud barking, barking, And I did approach the neighbor. We went around there nicely and sorted it out. But it was only a sausage or two. I thought it was a treat. But no, maybe maybe I am being a full blown meal Well, maybe I am. We lost a legend yesterday. A lot of us would have grown up watching as you know, when we're little tackers. Peter Russell Clark, you know his Chef's Show. He was basically one of the first.
01:15:05
Speaker 1: To come out of time.
01:15:06
Speaker 2: He really was an ossy icon and just such a bit of Alarican as well.
01:15:11
Speaker 3: Well.
01:15:11
Speaker 2: Sadly he had a stroke on Thursday, is what we're hearing, and passed away from complications and joining us on the line now is one of his good mates, Darren Hinch. Darren, thank you very much for joining us.
01:15:22
Speaker 18: Good morning, Good morning gallet I should say exactly right.
01:15:27
Speaker 2: It was such a catch cry. Wasn't a giddy gal?
01:15:31
Speaker 18: Look, he was a lovable rogue.
01:15:34
Speaker 19: I think you've described him.
01:15:35
Speaker 18: He was very talented He was our first TV ship. I mean, when you think of it, those shows of his come and get it, Come and get it on Peter Russell Clark. They only ran for five minutes, but they ran for nine hundred episodes, So kids like you grew up with him and his food. Now. He taught me one thing. He taught me to put crack pepper on fresh strawberries. Wow, And this morning is a tribute. I tested it out. I tried fresh crack pepper on watermelon and it worked pretty well.
01:16:14
Speaker 1: That's what we.
01:16:14
Speaker 2: All need to do this morning, isn't it of Peter Russell Clark? A bit of crack pepper on the most unusual thing that you can think of?
01:16:23
Speaker 18: Well, he once cooked a steak for Prince Charles and put some strawberries on that, which was unusual. I mean, he was really brave and he's cooking, and the thing was why we loved him. He made it look so easy and he made it look like you would enjoy it. I mean, he may turn me into a into a good chef. And we were good mates. We had our moments. He could be irascible. He organized, he had a thing going where he would arrange sort of a scrap an argument at the lunch table and then storm out and leave you to pay the check.
01:17:06
Speaker 1: That's a good trick, isn't it. And the other thing he did too, Darren, and you would know this being a great broadcast to yourself, is he made it entertaining. He made it fun. We see so many shows today, you know, celebrity chef shows, and they're all, you know, enormously popular. But he was the pioneer. He was the one that started it all, and he made it entertaining.
01:17:26
Speaker 18: He was indeed, I mean he I mean I think he was only on for quite five minutes of time, and yet everybody loved him. And as I said, he made it all look so easy, and he made it look like fun.
01:17:38
Speaker 2: Can I ask he'd referred to you guys as the bearded Bookends. What does that mean.
01:17:44
Speaker 18: Well, we made a movie together called Bull of My Canker and years and years and years ago, and we were like the bearded book Ends. I put a picture up on Facebook of Russell Clark and me looking like the bearded book nds standing on the side of Jackie Weaver, and we all got on very well. He was on the Don Wayne Show, of course, quite a lot as well his other things. But he just and he was fantastic in many ways. His wife Jan and they were married for about sixty years. His wife Chan used to work for dag Hammer should at the United Nations and Peter himself became a United Nations food ambassador at one stage. But he did have a stroke and he had complications. In fact, it was a mercy when he passed because it was afficking his brain and his other limbs and his limbs and so, I mean it was sad, but it was time.
01:18:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, eighty nine years of age. It was an amazing life. And a very talented artist too, Darren very good.
01:18:46
Speaker 18: Painter here, terrific artiste. And he had been a cartoonist. He'd done comic strips. Anything he put his mind to he could do. And he and I were very much involved together with Don Lane at the Melbourne Football Club for for many years as well, and we had a lot of fun like that, and we had a lot of laughs, a lot of good times. Sometimes too long spent in the bar, but there we go.
01:19:13
Speaker 2: Hey, he sounds like a very good mate. How will he best be remembered? Do you think?
01:19:19
Speaker 18: Get a and the other thing is. He had the fowler's mouth, he would make a sailor blush He've got on the other end of one of his tirades.
01:19:30
Speaker 19: He knew more for a little words than.
01:19:32
Speaker 18: I could spell.
01:19:33
Speaker 2: You know, it was funny last night I was watching a couple of is YouTube clips and most of the most recent ones are all the bloopers. And You're right. I wanted to get some to put to where and I was like, oh, we actually can't.
01:19:45
Speaker 3: There are.
01:19:49
Speaker 19: Yes.
01:19:49
Speaker 18: Yeah, he certainly had away with words, but look, he will be missed and as I said, a lovable rogue and Darrel.
01:19:59
Speaker 1: What about you? How things going for you at the moment? How's everything going in your life?
01:20:02
Speaker 19: You're very, very very good.
01:20:04
Speaker 18: I've got a new gadget called a walker, which I call a Johnny as in Johnny Walker. But I have been sad in recent days the cases around Melbourne of the child abuse in child care centers has been dreadful. I mean I've been covering this issue and fighting it for about nearly fifty years, being to jail, etc. But what we need now we need more surveillance, we need more cameras, we need better and stronger, more stringent checks and I'll be careful because of the court case coming up, but we need more checks on people's character and what has been happening in Melbourne is an absolute disgrace. State and federal governments have to share the blame because they were given recommendations and many of those recommendations from investigations and raw commissions have not been acted on, and they must be I'm glad to see that Jason Clear is now saying this some urgency to it. The urgency has been there for twenty years, you know, Darren.
01:21:04
Speaker 2: There's been some discussion in regards to males working in child careful stop. What are your thoughts on that.
01:21:10
Speaker 18: I think banning them is wrong. Females commit these crimes as well. I just think you shouldn't ban the men, and there are a lot of adult males who are very worthy of these jobs. I think though, there should be two adults in a room whenever a child is being having his or her nappy's changed. And as I said, more surveillance and more stringent checks, more character checks before they give people these jobs. The one thing that has annoyed me, and it's been on Facebook a lot, people say, oh, they are obviously gay, well, I've got a lot of gay friends, males adults who are as repulsed as we are by these crimes. You know, it's nothing to do with with your own whether you're gay or with.
01:21:55
Speaker 2: Your straight No, it's really not. We're just talking about some sick individuals that need to be looked away for a very very long time. Darren, Thank you so much. We don't redigorous there, but we really appreciate sharing some thoughts on You're good mate. Peter Russell Clark get a great stuff.
01:22:14
Speaker 1: Thanks so much, Darren. And he was synonymous with you know us when we were growing up Jaden. For those listening in this morning, they would remember his dulcet tones and the familiar jingle.
01:22:26
Speaker 17: Come man Gettett, Come man getnett with Peter Russell Park in the City of the Outback.
01:22:33
Speaker 1: Australia's rights sparking. Come men gett come men get it good food to love to come man getnett, Come man geannetty. There's people you can shark per.

01:22:51
Speaker 1: Recipe off.
01:22:55
Speaker 3: With Peter.
01:22:59
Speaker 1: Give us a call like that two to three double o. Like Darren, did you have a favorite recipe that he gave out there in one of his one thousand episodes that You've adopted yourself and what is it? Crack pepper on strawberries. Never tried that one, No, I don't know if yeah me strawberries and cream yep delicious and a bit of yogurt, but definitely not with the crack pepper anyway. Give us a call if you've got any favorite memories or recipes that you adopted from Peter Russell Clark. Enjoy it. You're out there outdoor area all year round with an opening and closing roof, designed, manufactured and installed locally by Leuver House. And it is twenty two minutes past eight o'clock on this Monday, the seventh of July. Jad Robert and Tom ran through until at nine o'clock this morning.
01:23:42
Speaker 2: Thank you Tom. And it's a gray, ol miserable day out there for the first day of the school holidays. All those parents out there, what are we going to do today? Lots of board games and cooking cakes, I think today. Lots of texts coming through on our barking dogs. I mentioned that I'm not a massive fan of dogs being around cafes as well, so a couple of texts coming through saying well, ja, should you ban kids from restaurants and cafes? Nothing like trying to enjoy a meal and you have screaming kids running around as well.
01:24:09
Speaker 9: Hm.
01:24:09
Speaker 2: Fair few people probably agree with that. Earlier in the program we mentioned that there's been an incident at Main South Road in Ranella. We're going to cross live to the scene now. Mitchell Seraofski from seven years Adelaide is there, Mitchell, good morning to you. Is this still an ongoing incident?
01:24:27
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's right, guys, good morning.
01:24:29
Speaker 8: So northbound traffic is currently crop closed from the Sheriff's Road in Main North Road intersections. So emergency crews that were called here around five point thirty this morning, and that's after reports that a car has collided with a pedestrian outside the cowtex here at Old Ronello. So Major Crash officers are currently at the scene. The condition of the person involved is still currently unknown, but Major crash officers and police. They're asking motorists this morning to avoid the area and we will have more details and seven News as they come to handg.
01:25:01
Speaker 1: On good great stuff, Mitch. Also, just in terms of traffic delays, is there any indication when things might start to ease in terms of traffic congestion.
01:25:10
Speaker 8: What could be a few more hours now because major crash officers are here. They're examining the scene. They're trying to work out exactly exactly what happens. So when their investigation here at the scene conclude, that's when traffic will be moving freely. There are some cars that are allowed to go past, but it is a little bit slow going. Motorists are asked to avoid the area just to stop those to stop those delays as they head to work or school.
01:25:39
Speaker 2: Thanks Mitchell very much, and if you've got any updates, buzz us and yeah, we'll get them across. But in the meantime, really important just to avoid that area again. So Main South Road is closed that is northbound between Sheriff's Road and State's Road due to a very significant traffic incident that's on folded.
01:26:00
Speaker 1: There not right. Thanks for that, Jade, and also Mitch.
01:26:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mitch Saraowski there from seven News. Now time there's a ADHD meds they're in short supply at the moment. To tell us why and how we can get them. Doctor Claire Cole from the Race rac GP Deputy chair joins us now, Claire, thank you so much for your time. Why these meds in short supply?
01:26:25
Speaker 15: Yeah, good morning, thanks for having me. That's a it's a good question. I mean, we're seeing medications in short supply across the board. It's been an issue since COVID, of course, but I think you know that's a number of years ago now that we've been dealing with this, and it's to do with I suppose international supply generation or production of the medication. Unfortunately, there's some medications that are more easily replaceable than others, or you know, there's substitutes within US so ADHD that can be a bit more difficult, succeedingly frustrating for patients and for clinicians because we're having to sort of maguire things together to come up with the most appropriate management for our patients.
01:27:06
Speaker 1: I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I'm the father of a young boy who's got ADHD. So should I be worried? And how much of an issue will this be both short and long term?
01:27:16
Speaker 11: Claire, that's a.
01:27:18
Speaker 15: Great question, and I think you know, we really need to be looking at the supply issues not only for ADHD medications, but all medications including like HRT, which has been in short supply even before COVID existed. I think the short answer is no, please don't worry. You know, your GP does have options, and you know, the pediatrician or the psychiatrist, whoever it is that's involved in the care of the person with ADHD can come up with various solutions. But it is something you know, as a nation and internationally that we have to address because you know, it's not fair if you're stable on one medication that then you have to adjust things because of a shortage issue.
01:27:57
Speaker 1: So why are we getting these shortages in supply? I guess not just for ADHD, but other medications also.
01:28:04
Speaker 15: Look, I honestly don't know the answer to that other than there's you know, the pharmaceutical companies often quote production issues. It seems to have been something that's been particularly bad since COVID, and I think you can understand when COVID was that it's worse that you know, there was shortages around moving products around the world. But I certainly don't think we can blame that. Now you know the world has opened up and COVID normality is here, So yeah, I think it would be nice if we could increase production. Perhaps we could do some of that here in Australia. I honestly don't know. I'm just coming up with ideas.
01:28:40
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, doctor, is it also partly because it feels like more and more people are being diagnosed with ADHD as well?
01:28:49
Speaker 15: Yes, there certainly is an increased demand and I think you know, this is an important topic, and of course we're very happy that the South Australian government has moved to allow GPS with special skills special interest in ADHD to prescribe from next year in diagnosed. I wouldn't say that there's an increased amount of ADHD. I think it's one of those things where it's more greatly recognized and so it looks like there's more, but actually we're just more attuned to it and we're addressing it better.
01:29:17
Speaker 1: It's a great call. I mean, I'm convinced I would have had ADHD and just wasn't diagnosed. Our parents just got on with it, whereas you know today, you know thirty years later as a parent you can seek their appropriate help, which I think is a good thing. Doctor, that you know we're.
01:29:30
Speaker 15: Able to do that, oh, absolutely, And you know, if you can pick this up in children when they're going through their schooling. You know, think about how much better their education is going to be if we're tailoring their education to the way their brain works. I mean, ADHD is part of a spectrum of thinking diversity, and so traditional schooling or the way traditional schools are set up may not suit every child. Similarly, for adults, every workplace might not suit them. So recognizing ADHD, diagnosing it, and assisting people medication and non medication management is a huge win for them.
01:30:04
Speaker 1: It's been a lot. I mean, it's been a life changer for us, just speaking from personal experience and to the shortage issue you spot on. I mean we've had to go to three different chemists at times to get the appropriate medication. And we had to keep Harry at home from school one day because he becomes really anxious, Like he has totally done a white addy in terms of his schooling since he was diagnosed a couple of years ago. But it does when you don't have that medication, it can be a real life changer for both child and parents. Almost as a parent, well, yeah, we did, and he became really anxious as well, so we had to keep him home on one particular occasion. So yeah, it's an ongoing issue, and I know there are so many in a similar position to doctor.
01:30:44
Speaker 15: Oh, there certainly is, and you know, I think particularly once you have a diagnosis and you know what helped, if they're in that product or that management is not available to you, then you know, it's particularly stressful and of course anxiety provoking, both for you as the parent and your son.
01:31:00
Speaker 2: Tom just said then that he as a kid thought that he had it. Does that not mean that as an adult he doesn't have it?
01:31:07
Speaker 3: Oh?
01:31:08
Speaker 15: Look, obviously I can't give you personal medical advice, but you know, I think we're recognizing more and more that there's different components to why ADHD is present for some people, and there certainly as a genetic component. So you know, I suppose Tom, if you are pretty sure that you had it as a child, You know, your brain does change over time, but that way of thinking, you know, probably doesn't change all that much. And so if you've got an ongoing question, you should certainly go and see your GP and have a chat to them about it.
01:31:38
Speaker 1: Great stuff. Really appreciate your time this morning, doctor, Thanks so much for coming on five double a breakfast My pleasure. Thank you, doctor Claire Key. Oh the GP.
01:31:47
Speaker 2: Such an interesting topic, this one because I was out on Saturday night and a girlfriend of mine, her boy has just been put on ADHD meds. He nearly got kicked out of his school for being that rat bagging class of course and disrupting everybody around him, not just himself. Anyway, he's now on this medication and it's settled. I think it takes a couple of weeks before it starts to take effect. He's gone from d and being the menacing class to nearly been kicked out of school to now being an A plus student and he's still the same person. And that I think as a parent would scare me the most. Putting your child on medication. Is that going to change them?
01:32:24
Speaker 19: Yeah?
01:32:25
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of parents have the same reservations, and it's not for everyone. It's not to say that, you know, it's a one size fits all, but we had a similar experience. We were really struggling and you know, he was treated like a Nordy kid and I think felt like one. But then getting him medicated, it's been for us a huge life changer.
01:32:44
Speaker 2: So how many years has that been.
01:32:45
Speaker 1: It's been a couple of years. Yeah, we were really struggling. We were almost at our wits end, you know, changed schools, you know, and we've been absolutely delighted. So yeah, it is a big issue, but like I said, not for everyone, and that's totally fine. But yeah, hopefully they're able to sort out this supply issue with all medications to make sure people can can get what they're currently using, because when you have to change it, it can be a significant disruption. Anyway, we digress, got to get across to the news room plenty coming up in the final half hour here on five Double A Breakfast. We are into the final half hour here on the show. It is coming up to twenty minutes to nine o'clock Monday, the seventh of July. Graham Gooding's coming up after nine o'clock. Jade, you had a really good story about barking dogs and the issues they can cause. We've had plenty of text messages on that issue this morning.
01:33:31
Speaker 2: Yea, councils are clamping down on barking dogs and issuing tougher fines and we've got the rain in Netley on the line. Lorraine, have you got a barking dog near you.
01:33:42
Speaker 21: Oh, hello Jade, good morning Tom. No, well, it's actually our dog. Well, it's my partner's dog. He moved very quickly. He moved in three years ago to live with me, and every time we went out, we'd have a note in the letterbox. Bark, bark, bark, bark. It kept happening, and we a little bit of investigation, and she just barked while we were out continuously, this loud bark. Anyway, One thousand dollars and lots of solution attempts later, we finally purchased a mannequin and sat it in the lounge chair where my partner sits to watch Telly and the double doors and she can see inside from the outside area. We dressed it in his baseball cap and an old track suit, takes an empty beer can to the hand, sat it in the chair, seriously, sat it in the chair. The notes stopped, and we even snuck. We drove away and then snapped back to listen. It cured her of barking, and we no longer have to even dress that mannequin and pop it in the chair. Well, she looked, she looks used to look inside and naturally see him sitting there and yes, so and I don't know whether we saw it online somebody sat even sat in the chair while their own dog was inside. But no, this work. She's out. She was outside and the notes stopped and we knew that the barking stopped. So it was just an old tracksuit. And as I said, he even takes his beer cat.
01:35:18
Speaker 1: I love that to the hand.
01:35:20
Speaker 21: Didn't the details and seriously, seriously nothing.
01:35:26
Speaker 8: Yeah.
01:35:26
Speaker 21: So it still barks when people come and we you know, and it's awful, but when we're not there, it's it's quiet.
01:35:33
Speaker 2: Oh that is that sensation.
01:35:35
Speaker 21: That absolutely works.
01:35:37
Speaker 2: Brilliant. There is something to be said for you blokes to sit in your chair with a beer can watching TV.
01:35:42
Speaker 21: Yeah yeah, it worked absolutely so anyway looks it might work for someone else, but it definitely works.
01:35:50
Speaker 2: Thank you for sharing that love. That's that's brilliant because you don't know. If you don't if you're out, how are you meant.
01:35:56
Speaker 1: To know exactly? It's a bit like the home alone remedy, wasn't it When he knows all the mannekins running around and it keeps the robbers at bay. This is working for the barking dog. So I like it. Well done, Lorraine, thanks for sharing that. That's a great story.
01:36:07
Speaker 2: Oh that's great. Let's go now to Michael Angelakis from Angelakis Brothers. We're going to be talking about the algal bloom. We've been talking about it for many weeks. Will and Dave have been really passionate about this space because it is getting worse and worse and it's really decimating many industries, of course the seafood industry being one of them. Michael, thank you so much. Good morning.
01:36:27
Speaker 19: It's a pleasure, Thank you, Thank you for taking it in.
01:36:31
Speaker 2: Just how bad is it? You've called this the drought in the sea, and that's pretty fair. Wrap up.
01:36:36
Speaker 19: Really, it's very serious. I've got to finish theman's friends on Keangar Island. We go out to schol Bay and the Sambarbier where he harvests rosa fish to get the heart for catching King George Wide. It's decimated. It's not just the razors fish, it's the copples, it's the scollops. So you know what's left there. And it is very very serious and it's going to take a long time for it to recover.
01:37:09
Speaker 2: It's an interesting one because we're.
01:37:10
Speaker 19: Special of the ecosystems.
01:37:13
Speaker 2: Absolutely it is. And we're seeing the dead fish wash up, But what about those fish that don't die and get caught. What do we know is inside them? I mean, are we humans eating that consuming that?
01:37:26
Speaker 19: Well, it hasn't come out that you can't eat them, But who's going to eat them anyway? I mean even the tread let's say oysters. You know when when I talk about copples and mussels and oysters, these are filter eases. Whatever is in the water they'll take in. So people think, well, well back off, so oister consumption has just dropped. Nothing's come out to say, you know, don't eat them. You know they're going to make it sick, nothing like that, but people react to it. So you know that's there's an ois in the industry that's recovered after years with the pom virus, which was the Pacific oyster mentality syndrome, and now we're facing this. It really is. It saddens me that, you know, the government, let's put billions into rescue wireless steel works, you know, Golden lort ice stream, you know, farmers, but what about the farmers of the sea. We need help?
01:38:31
Speaker 1: So what can they do? What should be done. Do you think, Michael, to try and help this situation.
01:38:36
Speaker 19: Well, one thing that I've said is the government said it's costly license fees. They should quarantine license fees for fishermen and two of district covers. They did it for the lobster industry. When you know when China put an embargo on lobster, they should do the same. It's only the professional industry. There's only about fifteen hundred to two thousand fishermen in the state that pay a fee that call it cost recovery to manage the fishery. Now what I've advocated for years, there's about three point fifty ft three hundred and fifty thousand amateur fishermen. Exclude kids, exclude pieces, put on a modest recreational fee, and that money to go back in the industry to do research to restock the oceans with fingerings. We've got a Saudi Aquatic Science at Westby. It's a world leading science industry that does research because we've got a great variety of marine scalefish. An obay one of the world's leading actualies. It only does one fish, king fish. So we've got the facilities to do this to restock the oceans with fingerss especially. We should be far more aggressive with agriculture that we've had a ban on snapper for so long, But why aren't we farming snapper when we've done the science, we've completed the life sample. We've got pristine waters out there. Look at the Kurroon. I mean we produce that water either with floating cages or use the water from the Koron for land based facilities to grow flounder, muddle way, salt water brim. I mean, our waters are so rich with our isc food.
01:40:25
Speaker 2: How much money is this going to wipe from the our industry?
01:40:30
Speaker 19: Well, years ago, let's say tuna was worth over half a billion dollars. It's less than that today, So it doesn't take much to wipe the industry.
01:40:43
Speaker 2: Is there a group I want to ask you about the I guess the testing that's being done in the education and then what's coming out of it, which is a big question mark at the moment. But is there a group that perhaps want to take this into their own hands and do their own testing and sort it for themselves. Is that a possibility?
01:41:01
Speaker 19: Yeah, well that would be independently done. But the fishermen are not scientists. As we said, we've got a world leading institute at worst speeches, I think there's over one hundred hundreds of scientists that work there. So we've got the facility that the government funds, so you know, let's use that facility to do the research. And they're qualified scientists. The fishermen are great beca sea every day they get to see the ecosystems, this changing nature water. I mean, they are scientists every day twenty four to seven.
01:41:40
Speaker 1: All right, Well, Michael, thanks so much for coming on this morning and shining a light on it. It's been a big issue for several months now and it looks like it's going to be unfortunately for several more to come. Appreciate your time, pleasure.
01:41:51
Speaker 2: Thank you, Michael. He's such a great spokesperson. I'm so passionate for this space and he is.
01:41:57
Speaker 1: He's right.
01:41:57
Speaker 2: It is the drought of the sea and this has been going on for what we thought was going to be a couple of months, and then those storms coming in were meant to clear everything, and an actual fact, it's just made it worse and worse. Now obviously we've got it in our metro beaches. It's tragic what's happening out.
01:42:12
Speaker 1: There and affecting a lot of operators unfortunately, and affecting incomes and jobs and all kinds of things. So hopefully you know we're through the worst of it, but it doesn't look like we are, unfortunately. Let's check out the roads right now. Enjoy your outdoor area all year round with an opening and closing roof, designed, manufactured and installed locally by Lubra House. We're on the home stretch now. It is eight fifty three on five double a breakfast and it's time to check out fuel Watch, don't get stuck on the side of the road. Get raa road service. Cheapest unleted out there. The mobile at Torrensville Henley Beach Road one fifty seven point five. The Solo Blair Athol on Main North Road is a dollar fifty eight point five, The cow Techs at Home Marion Road a dollar fifty nine point nine, and the bp EX Convenience at Davren Park is also a dollar fifty nine point five and diesel out there. The BPX Convenience at High Marsh on Port Road a dollar sixty nine point nine and the United Melrose Park at south Road a dollar seventy five point nine. Bit of other breaking news, Corey Norris will have more coming up in the nine o'clock news with Melasia. But Sam Pepper to have surgery in the coming days and it has been confirmed by the club he will have a second knee reconstruction, a second ACL in as many years. So that is devastating news for Sam pal Pepper and Port Adelaide just had his third baby girl last week as well.
01:43:35
Speaker 2: Look, and we know kids are a great distraction, but this is really really sad. He's just gone through that hard yards of getting back onto the track and doing it again and here he faces it all over again. But from all reports he is a tough cookie. We see that and how he goes about it on the field, and if anyone can get through it, it's going to be him. And he's obviously got great partner, great support and hopefully those gorgeous three girls or keep them distracted.
01:44:01
Speaker 1: That news sucks, It does suck. There is some better news, though, Jay, because today is a very special occasion.
01:44:07
Speaker 2: Oh it is, and what a perfect day to celebrate. This day one of the school holidays. Get your kids on board with this one. It's international. It is World Chocolate Day. And joining us now is Kate McClure from the Barossa Valley Chocolate Company. Kate, good morning to you.
01:44:23
Speaker 22: Good morning, Happy World Chocolate Day.
01:44:25
Speaker 2: How much chocolate have you eaten already this morning?
01:44:28
Speaker 22: Ah, I'm trying to refrain myself, So it's been a slow start today.
01:44:33
Speaker 2: How are we celebrating?
01:44:35
Speaker 22: Oh my gosh, we have so much going on this morning and all day today. Really, I mean every day to us as World Chocolate Day, obviously, and we love for bringing in families and creating beautiful memories for them, but today's extra special, I suppose, because it is a real celebration about this quite beautiful product in chocolate, and so gosh, we've got a lot on today. One of the favorite things that some of the families and the kids that particularly love is taking a photo on our chocolate throne. As soon as you come through the doors a Rock Belly Chocolate Company, there's a big, beautiful throne and lots of people are taking their photos on there, making themselves the king of Queen for the day. Talking actual chocolates. We've got our white caramelized white chocolate on tasting today so come on in and try a bit of that. We've got our.
01:45:33
Speaker 19: Our hot chocolate.
01:45:34
Speaker 22: So I don't know, do you like drinking hot chocolates?
01:45:37
Speaker 2: Absolutely that I don't drink coffee, So that's my goal. Here're your hot chocolate, I am, and it's got to be extra hot.
01:45:43
Speaker 22: It's one or the other, isn't it. So our hot chocolate is made using actual, actual chocolate, so you know, guests can come and either have it in a milk white or a dark and we make it there for the ones up that we actually use real chocol callups what we call them. So it's a really decadent, quite a delicious experience. So lots of people are coming in for those we've even got. I mean, chocolate comes in all different forms, and because we make all our products on site, we can use them in different ways. So we're actually releasing today a chocolate barbecue salt yeah yeah, and a raspberry and white chocolate jam which is absolutely delicious. We've also got today a special dessert which is a chocolate chocolate chip New York style cookie with a scoop of chocolate gelati. We've got further first fifty that comes through the door We've got a little kid scoop of our housemade chocolate Gelati. So not only do we have chocolate here that we make in house, we also have gelati and I have supposed to some of the best Jilai I reckon I've ever had. And for the first people that come through it all, we've got a little kids loop of our chocolate gelati which we actually use our melted chocolate in to make, so it's just through a chocolate gelaite as you can get.
01:47:12
Speaker 2: Oh, you had me at Chocolate Ate, Thank you so much from the Barossa Valley Chocolate Company. And you can head down to the Barrossa It is a spectacular down there. It's really fun. Yeah, I love it.

In the meantime, stick around because we've got the news and sport coming up shortly, and then Graham Goodings will have you all covered for your morning's session, so thanks again, Jade. I'll catch you tomorrow morning at six o'clock same time here on five double A breakfast. Have a great day, folks,
