FIVEAA Breakfast with Will & Stacey - 28 August 2026

00:00:00
Speaker 1: I want.
00:00:02
Speaker 2: Every single song. I want the meat flavor.
00:00:04
Speaker 3: I want it.
00:00:05
Speaker 4: Knockdown.
00:00:06
Speaker 5: Bill 2 with Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes. They do it all for you.
00:00:13
Speaker 4: Live from Hindmarsh Square, it's 5AA Breakfast. Will Goodings with Stacey Lee.
00:00:20
Speaker 6: Nine after six. Good morning to you. Welcome to Friday. It's the 28th of August. We have a beautiful few days ahead here in Adelaide that might just inform the meat tray this morning. Lots news-wise to talk about this morning as well. BirdLife Australia CEO Kate Miller is going to join us to talk about her assessment of how our governments, the various tiers of government are going with regard to combating bird flu or how prepared we are, how well we're dealing with it. We'll get into that after 6.30 today. We're going to be chatting with a disaster management expert from the University of Sydney about the fallout from the floods in Nepal. We were speaking about it yesterday, having to couch this, I think, in terms about trying to describe something that we'd never seen before. And now I think everyone's seen it. And I think everyone now appreciates the scale of not what's just happened, but what lies ahead for that part of the world. So we'll talk about it before seven o'clock this morning. Who would steal wonderful artefacts of South Australian history? The busts that have been stolen off North Terrace, a suffragist, one of them being stolen. The people who are stealing this stuff don't give a stuff who they are. They're just trying to get metal, clearly. But what a bunch of lowlifes. We'll talk about that after 7 o'clock today with... journalist, author and historian, Lainey Anderson. Tim Jennifer will preview the wildcard round in the AFL. It's something new. We've never done this before. First game is on tonight. You'll hear it on 5AA, of course, and we'll recap the week in footy, in footy, in Canberra with Michael Packie as well. Stacey, good morning to you. Wildcard on the brain.
00:01:47
Speaker 7: It's all happening.
00:01:48
Speaker 6: I'm sure they don't have wildcard fever in Canberra this week. I don't think it's pretty captured.
00:01:52
Speaker 8: I'm pretty sure they would probably prefer us to be talking about the week in footy rather than the week in politics.
00:01:56
Speaker 6: Quite possibly. It doesn't feel like there's a lot of winners in politics at the moment, federally is there. There's no one who's– because the first half of the year you might have said, well, One Nation, they feel like they're winning. But One Nation's had a shocking last seven days.
00:02:08
Speaker 8: And every time they come out with a new policy, then it seems to be that there's a lot of detraction straight away and they have to clarify it.
00:02:15
Speaker 7: Poor old Barnaby Joyce with his mop and bucket.
00:02:17
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's doing a lot of mopping at the moment.
00:02:19
Speaker 7: The storeroom again.
00:02:21
Speaker 6: We might ask Michael Packie after 7.30 today, if you had to call who won the week in federal politics, who would it be? Just to use the wildcard analogy to drag out my stumble at the start.
00:02:32
Speaker 7: Staff at Parliament House?
00:02:34
Speaker 6: Yeah, possibly. Maybe the Canberra Press Gallery. You didn't have to work too hard for a story this week because they just kept fumbling them out. The meat tray this morning.
00:02:45
Speaker 7: Oh, yeah, go on.
00:02:46
Speaker 6: Thanks to Liam Joanna and the team, My Local Butcher, Chanel's 62 Prospect Road. At Prospect.
00:02:51
Speaker 7: And what a weekend it's going to be for a barbecue.
00:02:54
Speaker 6: It's perfect barbecue weather.
00:02:57
Speaker 9: Yep.
00:02:57
Speaker 6: 21 today, mostly sunny. Tomorrow is just sunny. I can't recall the last time just a plain old sunny appeared on the forecast. 21 and then 19 on Sunday. There's no rain in any of this. 20 on Monday, 22 Tuesday, but we'll get to that when it gets here. This weekend is going to be magnificent. We get a really good text. I wish I could give credit to the uh the texter yesterday in the morning who made the observation might have been rob actually it was rob yeah he made the observation that this time of year before daylight savings changes the sun rises are magnificent these kind of 20 degree days are pretty special this time of year if you had to pick a date for the meat tray this morning that a single day of the year when the weather is at its best when would it.
00:03:39
Speaker 7: Be and we won't allow seasons.
00:03:41
Speaker 6: No seasons, no weeks, no ranges. Just give us one specific date. A date or a day of significance to you. Maybe the date changes, but you can interpret that part how you like.
00:03:51
Speaker 7: Maybe you're like the king's birthday.
00:03:52
Speaker 6: Exactly.
00:03:53
Speaker 7: It floats.
00:03:53
Speaker 6: Exactly. 8223 0000, text us on 024808 1395. Some people like the depths of summer. Some people like it when it's cooler. They'll be missing the cool weather.
00:04:03
Speaker 7: Surely no one wants a winter date.
00:04:06
Speaker 6: I bet we've got listeners who will nominate a July day. I bet we will. We'll find out. 8223 AA double over the meat tray. Pick a single date of the year and nominate us why you think it's probably the best weather date of any given year in Adelaide. We'll make it specific to Adelaide. Have you got one that comes to mind? I've got one instantly that comes to mind with this question. And it was always my favourite day of the year, back in a former life working in hospitality, SANFL, Sanctful as they like to be called, Grand final day, I think, is the best weather day.
00:04:41
Speaker 7: Oh.
00:04:42
Speaker 6: It is the best weather day in Adelaide. So, it always falls. So, this year, I looked it up just before, it's the 20th of September.
00:04:49
Speaker 7: Okay.
00:04:49
Speaker 6: So, it's the first bit of, it's real spring.
00:04:53
Speaker 7: Spring has sprung.
00:04:54
Speaker 6: To me, it always feels like the first. Well, it always feels like, to me, the day that spring is sprung. The words escape me. SA NFL Grand Final Day, I think, is the best weather day in Adelaide.
00:05:08
Speaker 7: Sold a few beers on that day.
00:05:10
Speaker 6: We sold a few beers. It was always the last day we worked at Footy Park.
00:05:13
Speaker 7: Of course.
00:05:14
Speaker 6: So we always celebrated that day as well. So we consumed a few as well. And it always just felt like, and it was the official footy season ends, summer's around the corner, and the winter was officially over. It just felt like a magical day.
00:05:27
Speaker 7: Because at the moment, we can still get wintry days.
00:05:30
Speaker 9: Absolutely.
00:05:31
Speaker 7: And it wouldn't be a surprise.
00:05:32
Speaker 6: Absolutely.
00:05:32
Speaker 7: But end of September- The winter days are done.
00:05:35
Speaker 10: Yes.
00:05:36
Speaker 11: Yep.
00:05:36
Speaker 6: That's my nomination. Does one come to mind for you?
00:05:38
Speaker 7: Yeah, but I'm worried if I say it, I'm going to look like the world's worst mum.
00:05:43
Speaker 6: Oh, please. Now you must say it. I can always dump it.
00:05:48
Speaker 8: Okay, so Molly's born in the middle of winter. I think most people would think of their kids. So that's not my favourite day because I don't like the weather.
00:05:54
Speaker 6: Yeah, I could have picked a month later. I chose SNFL grand final day. Let's park the kids.
00:05:58
Speaker 8: So our anniversary when Ben and I– Stuff the kids. They get enough days.
00:06:04
Speaker 6: Yeah.
00:06:06
Speaker 8: Our anniversary is March 6th, which also happens to be Murray's birthday.
00:06:10
Speaker 7: So can I.
00:06:11
Speaker 12: Say my dog's birthday and not my daughter's birthday?
00:06:15
Speaker 6: I see. You picked a day that's special to everyone in the family except your firstborn child.
00:06:20
Speaker 7: Except my only child.
00:06:22
Speaker 6: No, I'll allow it.
00:06:23
Speaker 7: That's excellent.
00:06:24
Speaker 6: That's a good honest answer. We won't tell Molly. We'll destroy the tape. Peter and Elizabeth Park, good morning. Pick one day of the year. Best weather day in Adelaide.
00:06:33
Speaker 13: Would you believe December 20?
00:06:34
Speaker 14: Oh.
00:06:34
Speaker 13: Equal daylight, equal night.
00:06:38
Speaker 7: Equal daylight, equal night.
00:06:39
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay. Yeah, so equinoxy day. Equinox?
00:06:43
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:06:43
Speaker 6: Yeah. Thank you, Peter. I like that. Let's go to Sally in Hillcrest. Pick a day for us, Sally.
00:06:49
Speaker 15: Mine, the date changes, but it's the Monday of the October long weekend.
00:06:54
Speaker 6: Oh, good one.
00:06:55
Speaker 15: Because it's normally good weather. You're in the middle of spring and cricket's about to start the following week with all.
00:07:02
Speaker 16: The local cricket clubs.
00:07:03
Speaker 4: That is a great one.
00:07:04
Speaker 15: So it's a perfect time of year.
00:07:06
Speaker 6: And you've had a long break from public holidays at that point as well. We have that big rush at the start of the year, then your King's birthday, and then nothing for into the October long weekend.
00:07:15
Speaker 7: Good one, Sally.
00:07:16
Speaker 6: Excellent, Sally. Dave and Albert, good morning. Good morning.
00:07:19
Speaker 17: Kind of stole a bit of thunder there. Mine's the Friday of the October long weekend. It signals the start of the first long weekend for five months. I go away with two families, mine and another family, every year we head to Port Vincent and the kids are all now grown up adults with partners. So we go away every year. We've been doing it for 25 years. So it signals one of the best weekends of the year for me.
00:07:42
Speaker 2: Fantastic.
00:07:42
Speaker 18: And I think it's the official end of.
00:07:44
Speaker 17: Winter, and we know that we're now heading into the best weather of the year.
00:07:47
Speaker 6: That is a great nomination, Dave.
00:07:50
Speaker 12: It is.
00:07:51
Speaker 6: This is getting me excited. Sam in Theverton, good morning.
00:07:55
Speaker 16: Good morning, guys. 26th of January, Australia Day.
00:07:59
Speaker 13: You can smell the barbecue in the air.
00:08:02
Speaker 19: The weather is warm.
00:08:04
Speaker 16: Everyone is happy. Everyone's flying the flag.
00:08:06
Speaker 20: Everyone's proud to be Australian.
00:08:08
Speaker 7: Love that.
00:08:09
Speaker 6: Yeah, thank you, Sam. It is the perfect time of year weather-wise for a barbecue, I think.
00:08:13
Speaker 7: Absolutely.
00:08:14
Speaker 6: Late January, stinking hot.
00:08:16
Speaker 7: Nice salad.
00:08:17
Speaker 6: Yeah.
00:08:18
Speaker 7: Potato salad on the side.
00:08:19
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:08:20
Speaker 6: It's not where my mind first goes.
00:08:21
Speaker 7: No, I don't know why I said that, actually.
00:08:22
Speaker 6: Snagging a bit of white bread. No, you're just healthier, Stacey. That's why. Greek salad. Maybe that's why. You know, you can't help it.
00:08:29
Speaker 7: Let's go with that.
00:08:30
Speaker 6: Raymond in Salisbury Plains. Good morning.
00:08:33
Speaker 2: Good morning, folks.
00:08:33
Speaker 21: How are we on this Friday?
00:08:35
Speaker 5: Good.
00:08:36
Speaker 2: Excellent.
00:08:37
Speaker 21: Best day of the year, July 8th.
00:08:40
Speaker 6: Okay, so now this is going to require some explaining, Raymond.
00:08:42
Speaker 2: What?
00:08:43
Speaker 6: July 8th.
00:08:44
Speaker 21: Well, it doesn't matter what the weather's doing outside. It's my birthday, so the weather's great. Who cares what the weather's doing?
00:08:48
Speaker 18: We're going to have a great day on that day.
00:08:50
Speaker 6: It's a day dedicated to the excellence of Raymond.
00:08:53
Speaker 21: Well, it's a day dedicated to partying, to drinking, to having a good time and enjoying the fact that we're still here and waking up to another day.
00:09:00
Speaker 6: Well said, Raymond. Will said. No, there's no wrong answers today.
00:09:05
Speaker 7: No, everyone's got their own date.
00:09:06
Speaker 6: This is the fun of it. Dave in Redwood Park, best weather day in Adelaide. Pick one.
00:09:11
Speaker 22: I've only ever been to one, 2004, and it was about 38 degrees. But whatever day the pageant falls on, because I'd hate it to be 38 or even raining for the kids. But yeah, I went in 2004 when I landed here in September. Got to be the pageant day.
00:09:29
Speaker 6: Did you think to yourself, Dave, I've made a mistake when it was that hot and you got here?
00:09:34
Speaker 22: Well, that same weekend, my wife was laid on the bed with a damp towel over one of those fans going around saying, I want to go back.
00:09:44
Speaker 6: We're glad you stuck it out, Dave. Good on you. That's a good nomination. So, pageant day this year, 14th of November.
00:09:50
Speaker 7: I'm so excited.
00:09:51
Speaker 6: That's good because those early sort of summery, well, that part of the year days, you don't get too many... of the long sort of scorcher heat wave kind of periods. You might get one out of the box like that one.
00:10:01
Speaker 7: Oh, yeah, that was a hot one.
00:10:02
Speaker 8: And I was in the pageant a couple of years ago as a clown and those clown suits are not forgiving in the heat.
00:10:08
Speaker 6: I wonder that because it looks like a lot of energy. It's a lot. For the first time. 20 minutes, you're probably absolutely nailing it. And then you must get to a point where you think, oh my God, this is actually really long.
00:10:18
Speaker 7: You get to the end and the poor kids at the end, they're getting the half-assed high fives.
00:10:22
Speaker 23: Oh, I'm tired.
00:10:24
Speaker 7: Let me have a drink.
00:10:26
Speaker 6: I need to see some photo evidence of this. Stacey the Clown, that is excellent. You just gave me a look like that is never happening. That is never happening. 90 minutes after six, what is the best weather day of the year in Adelaide? Pick a single date for us. It might have special meaning to you. It might just be because you've had good weather that day over the course of the journey. 8223 0000 or text us on 044808 1395 and you could win yourself a meat tray. Thanks to Liam, Joanna and the team. My local butcher, Chanel's 62 Prospect Road of Prospect.
00:10:55
Speaker 5: Knock down, build two with Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes, they do it all for you.
00:11:03
Speaker 1: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:11:08
Speaker 6: 24 minutes after six. Wonderful weekend of weather on the way. It's 9.4 degrees outside in the city at the moment. Heading for a top today of 21. Mostly sunny. Absolutely magnificent August day. heading for a top of 21 or so, perfectly sunny, and 19 on Sunday, no rain on the forecast. The warmth persists right through until Tuesday when it'll be 22, 20 on Monday. Magnificent weather, which got us thinking about great weather days in Adelaide. If you had to pick one, a date, a date that you would say, that's the best weather day of the year in Adelaide. And a lot of lovely stories coming through from people with... with stories about the days of significance for them as well, which we delighted to hear as well on 8223 0000. Kristen Vale-Park is on the line. Morning, Chris.
00:11:52
Speaker 24: Good morning.
00:11:52
Speaker 13: How are you?
00:11:53
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, well. Chris, what's your favourite day, the date of the year weather-wise?
00:11:58
Speaker 24: Well, it's not because of the weather. It's because on June 23rd, 2013, I had a stroke.
00:12:04
Speaker 25: Oh.
00:12:06
Speaker 18: Yeah, sorry.
00:12:07
Speaker 26: Oh.
00:12:08
Speaker 24: So because of my fantastic partner and just the wonderful staff at the Royal Adelaide Hospital, I have a glass of champagne every year on that date.
00:12:17
Speaker 6: Oh, that's amazing, Chris.
00:12:19
Speaker 24: Cheers to you.
00:12:20
Speaker 6: Oh, well, what a special day and what a lovely way to be able to celebrate it. We're delighted. Thank you for sharing your story with us, Chris.
00:12:27
Speaker 4: No problem.
00:12:27
Speaker 6: Really appreciate it. That's what, yep. Rain, hail or shine, that would feel like a pretty special day, I reckon.
00:12:34
Speaker 7: A well-deserved champagne.
00:12:35
Speaker 6: A well-deserved champagne. Rod and Woodcroft, you've got a nomination for us.
00:12:39
Speaker 27: Yeah, good morning, guys. Definitely the first Sunday of daylight saving.
00:12:43
Speaker 28: Yeah.
00:12:45
Speaker 27: You can still sleep in because it's a Sunday, and then you get through the day, and then it comes to evening time, you have dinner, you go outside, it's still lovely and light, you can do things outside and It's just a great day, I reckon. And, of course, the worst day is the day it stops.
00:13:01
Speaker 28: Yeah.
00:13:01
Speaker 6: Actually, that might be second for me. That's a really good nomination. That feeling of the first time when you can walk outside after dinner and sort of look, you can still do things. Even if you don't do anything, the possibility of it feels fantastic.
00:13:16
Speaker 14: Yep.
00:13:16
Speaker 7: Love that feeling.
00:13:17
Speaker 6: 26 after six. We'll do some text and we'll talk sport with Renny in just a moment.
00:13:20
Speaker 7: Mm-hmm. Peter in Moontas, a day one of the Adelaide Test. And Jimbo, best weather day of the year is New Year's Eve because the world celebrates at the end of the year and the day after is the start of a new year.
00:13:34
Speaker 6: Perfect.
00:13:35
Speaker 4: Yeah.
00:13:35
Speaker 6: Perfect.
00:13:37
Speaker 7: And I like this one from Rob. Best day is Boxing Day. The weather's good.
00:13:40
Speaker 8: Family duties are done. You're allowed to veg on the couch and eat the best leftovers.
00:13:44
Speaker 14: Yeah.
00:13:45
Speaker 6: Boxing Day, as far as celebration goes, has all the benefits in terms of being gluttonous of Christmas Day without any of the stress. It's a great day. Good nomination. Liked that one. It's always a good day when Tom Wren wanders into the 5AA Breakfast Studio. He joins us now to talk about what's a new development in the world of footy. Wildcard round is upon us. Call Glider on now. Order a new door with operator before the end of September and receive two extra handsets. Morning to you, Wren.
00:14:10
Speaker 4: Morning, Will.
00:14:10
Speaker 9: Morning, Stacey. Yes, you're right. First time we've got it tonight.
00:14:14
Speaker 4: So wildcard.
00:14:15
Speaker 9: And look, Crows fans have to be keeping a pretty close eye on this game tonight because there's a good chance they'll be playing the winner of tonight's game. So it all depends on if Melbourne win tomorrow night, it's Melbourne because they're going to be the highest ranked wildcard winner. But if Carlton win tomorrow night, the Crows will play the winner of tonight's match, which I think of the three sides that potentially Adelaide can face, I think Collingwood's.
00:14:38
Speaker 6: Probably the worst case scenario. They don't want it to be Collingwood.
00:14:41
Speaker 9: I don't think so.
00:14:41
Speaker 6: Too much scar tissue there.
00:14:43
Speaker 9: I think so. And Collingwood just played this ground really well. Now the game will be here. The Crows have to back themselves up. to beat them, but Colin would beat them, remember, this time last year in a qualifying final. So, yeah, I'm intrigued. You know, the Crows just wait. Now, a bit of a scare as well about Taylor Walker with the glute injury. So hopefully that extra week is going to be okay for him. I think he'll get himself up for it, but that's a bit less than ideal, you know, just over a week out from their elimination final.
00:15:13
Speaker 6: Good time to have a week off.
00:15:14
Speaker 9: I think so. Yeah, if he had had to have played, This week, I think it would have been a bit tighter. Tonight, it's hard to read, isn't it, Doggies and Collingwood? Doggies have been better.
00:15:24
Speaker 6: Collingwood.
00:15:25
Speaker 9: Got a few injuries, haven't they? Got a few injuries, but they get Quayne all back. I think he's really important for their back six. I think Collingwood maybe, but I think it would be awfully close. And I like Carlton. I just think Carlton's form is better at the moment.
00:15:39
Speaker 6: Well, statistically, they've been playing like a top four side since halfway through the year, haven't they?
00:15:43
Speaker 9: They've lost two games since Josh Fraser took over, which is extraordinary. They were 1-8 when he took over. I think they're 11-2 losses and a draw, 11 wins. So amazing that they've gone that well under him. So I think it'll be Carlton and maybe Collingwood that go through. But it's difficult to say. So I'm on board with the wild card. I think it's okay. But I know a lot of people aren't massive fans. Where are you sitting with.
00:16:07
Speaker 4: It, Will?
00:16:08
Speaker 6: I don't love it. I think it just diminishes the value of the minor round when you have 60% of the, you play a year's worth of footy to eliminate the worst, what, eight sides. The top 10 then have a series of single eliminations to work out who the best team is. I just think it's a silly way of doing it, I think.
00:16:27
Speaker 9: It's a bit overdone.
00:16:28
Speaker 6: The only thing I do like is not having a stupid buy round between the regular season and the finals.
00:16:32
Speaker 9: Yes, well, exactly. I'd rather, much sooner rather this than, you know, the potential for a week off. I think we have too many weeks off and And buy rounds. This year we had too many buy rounds.
00:16:41
Speaker 6: Absolutely, far too many.
00:16:43
Speaker 9: Yeah, it was frustrating.
00:16:44
Speaker 7: And what about the golf, Rennie?
00:16:46
Speaker 9: Well, you know I've been up and about at Stacey. So it's the season-ending tournament. There's a lot of cash that's on the line. So US $ 10 million to whoever wins this tournament. So they used to do it differently where if you were the number one ranked player until this final week, you'd start on a better score. So you'd start at 12 under and then the next best player would be 10 under and then the next best player 8 under. all the way down to 15-odd players at even par to give that person that's had a great 11 months and three weeks, you know, seeding, if you like, or a bit of an advantage. But now they've said scrap that because there's only realistically a couple of players that can win it if you do that. So everyone starts on a level playing field. Minwoo Lee, an Aussie, started, I think he made it as the 28th player, so just scraped in. Still a good effort. He's leading. He's eight under. So he could win the whole season having not won an event. and pick up $ 10 million.
00:17:37
Speaker 7: So is he the wild card in this?
00:17:38
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
00:17:40
Speaker 6: That's a great analogy. Probably the wild card.
00:17:43
Speaker 9: But all he needs is one great week, and he's had a fantastic start. Long way to go.
00:17:48
Speaker 6: $ 10 million.
00:17:50
Speaker 1: US.
00:17:50
Speaker 6: So is that the prize pool, or is that just first?
00:17:53
Speaker 9: Just first. That's 25%. So it's $ 40 million US, I think, up for grabs. So the PGA have tried to sort of am things up. So they whittle it down. Like, it starts with about 150-odd players, PGA. Three weeks ago, it gets down to 70%. then to 50, and now it's 30. It's like the grand final, a bit like the V8s. It's their grand final week.
00:18:12
Speaker 6: Oh, good. Let's go Minwoo Lee.
00:18:14
Speaker 9: Go Minwoo Lee. And Adam Scott's only four shots back as well. Only two Aussies in there. But, yeah, it'd be a big turn-up if one of them can win it.
00:18:21
Speaker 6: Fantastic. Good on you, Randy.
00:18:22
Speaker 9: Good on you.
00:18:22
Speaker 18: Thanks, guys.
00:18:27
Speaker 4: Knockdown.
00:18:27
Speaker 5: Bill 2. With Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment.
00:18:32
Speaker 4: Metro Homes.
00:18:33
Speaker 7: They do it all for you.
00:18:35
Speaker 4: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:18:39
Speaker 6: 20 to 7. A lot of fun in that first half hour talking about great weather days of the year. We've got a couple of great weather days coming up this weekend. The meat tray, thanks to Liam, Jonah and the team. My local butcher, Chanel, is 62 Prospect Road at Prospect. requires you to nominate your favourite weather date of the year to be eligible. I would say, I think this is broadly accurate, Stace, that there's a cluster of people around the October long weekend.
00:19:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, lots of people.
00:19:05
Speaker 6: That feels like a very popular time of year. We've had one July. We've had a few late December, a couple of mid-late January days. 8223 0000, what date, single date of the year, is your favourite weather day?
00:19:19
Speaker 7: It doesn't have to be weather-related either. We're getting a couple others.
00:19:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, we are.
00:19:22
Speaker 6: People have days of significance that aren't necessarily birthdays or other things.
00:19:26
Speaker 22: Yeah, yeah.
00:19:27
Speaker 6: So let us know. 04808 1395 is the number, and you might win yourself that magnificent meat tray, thanks to Chanel's, which will make that day a pretty special one for you. Let's talk bird flu. So the federal government have announced a $ 20 million wildlife resilience package, and... The good people at BirdLife Australia say that won't even touch the sides. Kate Miller is the CEO. Kate, you're calling for $ 200 million. So what's the scope of what you're calling for that would not be covered by what the federal government have promised?
00:20:01
Speaker 24: Yeah, good morning.
00:20:02
Speaker 25: Gosh, when we saw the announcement, we thought they'd just accidentally gotten a zero announcement. We were asking for $ 200. Somehow it became $ 20 million. So I think as everyone's seen, this is just moving very rapidly now right around the country. So it's a national wildlife pandemic. And yeah, $ 20 million, that's actually less than what has been invested in some of these programs in the preparedness phase. And now, you know, actually the virus is impacting wildlife. And I My heart just goes out to everyone in South Australia. I know your coastal communities are already, you know, feeling the impact, as communities are in Victoria particularly. So, yeah, we know there are programs that have already stopped important work on those islands off the Florio Peninsula, have already the work stopped months ago, and we've got, you know, critical fox control programs down on the Coorong, money for that running out in November, December, critical time when... Some of these really beautiful birds are going to be breeding on those beaches and I understand potential detection in a fox as well. So it just goes to show how important this on-ground work is. But yeah, where is the federal government missing in action?
00:21:22
Speaker 8: I guess we've known this could happen for a while. It's felt like the slow-moving natural disaster that we all thought was inevitable, but it's finally here now and we've seen it elsewhere around the world. And they've been struggling with it for some time. A lot of people would question, Kate, well, we knew it was coming and there's not a whole lot you can do in the lead up to it.
00:21:47
Speaker 7: And everything's tight with budget. $ 200 million is a lot of money. So what would you like to have seen implemented with that money?
00:21:56
Speaker 14: Yeah.
00:21:56
Speaker 25: So I think in terms of money being tight, um, What I would say, and I think anyone that's associated with the environment sector would understand just how chronically underfunded it is, particularly in the federal budget. We get less than 1% of the federal budget for any of these sorts of programs in the normal time. And now with our wildlife pandemic, which is going to affect potentially more than 400 Australian species, I think the programs we're calling for is we have a number of things that are out In the environment, we have farmers, we have conservation groups, we've got people working in our protected areas. They know what actually is needed to create healthy populations, and I guess they're the sorts of programs we were hoping that the federal government would invest in alongside the states. But I think the other thing we've been saying all along is healthier populations, and this is definitely the international experience, means that there is less likelihood of this virus spilling over, and not only into agriculture, but also into cities as well. When you have stressed, diseased wildlife in fragmented habitats interacting with our cities and farms, actually the economic impacts are going to be far, far worse. And that is absolutely what the international research has demonstrated. whilst it does sound like a lot of money, essentially it is like prevention is better than the cure. Getting out there, doing this work now, it's really important for our wildlife. But also I'd say it's also what people are going to experience this summer. It's a time when we all love to get out, walking on the beaches, out with our family and friends, key tourist sites. And unfortunately, as we're seeing already, that's going to be sites where we're seeing dead wildlife washing up on shores. And we just know for everyone's mental health and just really robbing people of that beautiful experience of being out in nature and just enjoying it. And it's just such a privileged part of being an Australian. So we're just going to keep up this campaign. We need a lot more money put on the table and we're going to be mobilising all of our supporters to get behind it.
00:24:12
Speaker 6: All right. Kate Miller, thank you. Kate Miller, the CEO of BirdLife Australia. We have seen two notable developments on the bird flu outbreak. effects beyond how it's harming bird life populations just in the last few days. I think first and most concerningly was a fox that was suspected to have had bird flu from eating, presumably, a bird that had been infected. So that became the first land animal that got the virus. The other thing, Seven had a story last night that was quite interesting about The absence of dog walkers on beaches. I wonder if our listeners have noticed this. Or indeed, are you someone that would historically walk your dog along the beach and you've stopped?
00:24:55
Speaker 8: And we're getting into that territory when it comes to the weather.
00:24:57
Speaker 6: Exactly right. So this weekend, it'll be interesting to see how many people who otherwise would have said 22 degrees, sunny, take the dog down the beach, throw the tennis ball around, are deciding not to do it. Anecdotally, we're hearing it a lot. Interested what our listeners are doing. 8223 0000 will text us. On 04808 1395. Let's head to the Weather Bureau because the weather has very much been the positive topic of conversation this morning. Michael Conway is on duty. Michael, good morning to you. It looks like it's going to be magnificent.
00:25:29
Speaker 29: Morning, guys. Yeah, it's going to be lovely weather. We're looking at top of 21 for Adelaide, 19 for Glenelg, 21 for Elizabeth, no longer 19. And Mount Barker, 20, mostly sunny. There's a bit of high cloud at the moment that should burn off during the day. Yeah, so lovely weather. Got down to nine degrees at West Terrace last night.
00:25:52
Speaker 6: Yeah, and the weekend too looks like it's going to be absolutely magnificent. Michael, thank you. Those 20 numbers. Very comfortable if that just settles in for the next month or so.
00:26:01
Speaker 7: 21 today, 21 tomorrow.
00:26:04
Speaker 6: Yeah, and no real rain until the Tuesday. Maybe up to five millimetres, but maybe nothing. Top of 22 on Tuesday as well.
00:26:12
Speaker 7: Stop it.
00:26:13
Speaker 6: All right. Let's head to Saipol. Send your comments to Rebecca Stokes who's on the line. Rebecca, some teenagers have been arrested at Blakeview. What were they up to?
00:26:21
Speaker 30: Yes, a police were called to Waddle Seed Lane, Blakeview, around 1.45 this morning. By reports that youths were wearing masks and checking car doors as they moved through the area, the patrols attended with Police Dog Webster and searched the surrounding streets. And it will be alleged that Police Dog Webster and his handler managed to track this group for about one and a half kilometres along a creek line and then through a paddock opposite Bentley Road before locating the three suspects. Police checks revealed that a 15-year-old Trinity Gardens boy was wanted for an outstanding warrant. while a 15-year-old Parafield Gardens boy and an 18-year-old Craigmore man, they were both breaching their curfews, which was the condition of their bail. So they've all been arrested and charged and they'll face the Adelaide Youth Court and Elizabeth Magistrates Court later today. So a really good call from the public reporting that suspicious behaviour which led to these arrests.
00:27:09
Speaker 7: And was it all of them out on bail as well?
00:27:13
Speaker 30: Yeah, pretty much. All should have been tucked up in bed at home. So yeah, good work by Police Dog Webster and his handler there.
00:27:18
Speaker 7: Absolutely.
00:27:20
Speaker 8: And then tell us what happened at Manapara last night. A man and woman were caught stealing copper.
00:27:25
Speaker 30: Yes, we were called to Coventry Road just before 11pm last night, following reports that two people were interfering with a telecommunications pit. And on arrival, patrols located a Mazda sedan parked beside the pit and the woman sitting inside it. She was arrested after police searched the car and found tools and copper cabling. And then additional patrols were called in, again assisted by police dog Webster and his handler, And they searched the area for the second suspect, who was found hiding in a nearby field, and he was arrested. He's a 40-year-old Manupara man, along with the 38-year-old Craig Moore woman. They've both been charged with theft and going equipped to commit an offence. And the man was also charged with driving while disqualified. They've been refused police bail, and they'll both face court later today. And their Mazda's also been impounded.
00:28:10
Speaker 6: All right, good stuff. Thank you for that, Rebecca. I think one of the folks, you're all missing a trick if you're not doing what the best game to do on 5AA Breakfast is since Stacey joined. Text in a picture of your dog and then tune into the live stream and you can capture the moment. she sees the picture appear in the text thread. And trust me, you will not miss it.
00:28:31
Speaker 8: I just feel bad when they come through when someone's telling us a really sad story or we're talking about something really serious.
00:28:36
Speaker 6: Youths out on bail committing crimes.
00:28:37
Speaker 7: Youths out on bail.
00:28:38
Speaker 8: Because then I see Kylie from Glenn Gowrie's photo of her dog in the car and my face.
00:28:42
Speaker 2: Goes, aww.
00:28:45
Speaker 6: Some terrific text coming through, actually.
00:28:47
Speaker 8: Yeah, about dogs on beaches, to your point, Will. Kylie says, my dog doesn't eat dead animals, but we're a lot more conscious and on alert for dead birds when we walk him at the beach. And thank you for the photo. And then Graham makes a really good point. We stopped walking the dog on the beach anyway with the algal bloom.
00:29:03
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:29:04
Speaker 8: So maybe there's still a hangover from the algal bloom and people haven't gone back to walking on the beach yet and now with the bird flu it's just a let's not even bother people are.
00:29:13
Speaker 6: Out of the rhythm of doing it anyway.
00:29:15
Speaker 8: What is it going to mean for our coastal businesses in summer because you know you go for a walk on the beach you stop and you get a coffee or a smoothie or an ice cream or whatever it might be yeah.
00:29:24
Speaker 6: These the margins in these businesses is not massive if you five percent of people stop doing that it's probably devastating We're going to get more of your texts and interactions very shortly. If you want to be in the running for the meat tray, we need you to nominate the best weather day date in Australia each year. A lot of long weekends. love, a lot of October love. Yeah. But, hey, you might have a totally different time of year, you would say, if you could pick one date and have the weather. Get them coming through, 8223 0000. People are now sending in dog pictures. I should have known.
00:29:52
Speaker 24: Thank you.
00:29:52
Speaker 6: I should have known.
00:29:53
Speaker 29: All right.
00:29:54
Speaker 6: Jump on the live stream. You can watch Stacey absolutely loving it. We're going to check traffic back in a sec.
00:29:59
Speaker 4: Knock down.
00:29:59
Speaker 7: Build two.
00:30:00
Speaker 5: With Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes. They do it all for you.
00:30:07
Speaker 1: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:30:17
Speaker 6: Five minutes to seven. Lots of good thoughts coming through from dog walkers with regard to using beaches at the time when the bird flu was really dissuading people from doing precisely that. Some still will do it just with extra vigilance. Others are saying they're giving it a wide berth and, in fact, have done since the algal bloom. If you've got a thought on that, we'd love you to call in on 8223 0000. And, of course, the meat tray with your favourite weather day of a date of the Australian or Adelaide day. yearly calendar. That might win you a meat tray. A lot of good suggestions on that front coming through. We'll get to those all in a moment. There's no piece of news or indeed conversation you can have in the world at the moment that does anything but pale in comparison to what we saw out of Nepal. A really remarkable and devastating series of images that it will surprise no one to find this morning has led to a death toll that's now into the hundreds. There's thousands of people that are missing. Obviously, we know there are a large number of Australians that were among tour groups that were uh, in Nepal as well. Um, and they are to this point unaccounted for, uh, the, the question now goes to how you manage a disaster of this scale. Some of the satellite imagery I've seen this morning of what we're talking, uh, it looks like a wedge has been taken out of a mountain that's kilometers wide. It's just the scale of it. The force of it is unfathomable. Um, University of Sydney School of Project Management's Dr Sonia Rijal joins us on 5AA Breakfast, who is a disaster management expert. Dr Rijal, good morning to you.
00:31:43
Speaker 3: Good morning.
00:31:45
Speaker 6: What stands out to you in this initial post-disaster phase as the biggest challenge for the people on the ground there in Nepal?
00:31:53
Speaker 31: So it seems like it's very hard to reach them and then provide the necessary support relief and everything however the things has been unfolding quite um i mean everyone is trying their their best but it still seems like it's very hard given the given the scale and a lot of people are missing finding searching searching the people and trying to reunify the people that has been maybe like some some may have been dead and some may have been still alive and buried somewhere and still waiting for the rescue So those are very difficult.
00:32:28
Speaker 3: At this moment.
00:32:29
Speaker 31: And also, I think as we start like progressing in terms of responses, I think there would be also the challenges of, you know, like stopping the rumors. And then also there would be several challenges around coordinating among the communities and agencies and try to work together in terms of, you know, you know, moving faster, also providing the relief and all these things. And rebuilding would be the hardest, I would say.
00:33:04
Speaker 7: We're watching some of the vision now on our live stream.
00:33:07
Speaker 8: And we were saying earlier, just the force of these waters, it totally removes an entire bridge that looks like it's connecting two towns. And in the vision I'm watching now, you just see the bridge floating down these fast-moving waters. Can you tell us anything about the area, the areas where it's hitting, obviously, it's quite residential, but as well, quite critical for trade routes.
00:33:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is definitely the case.
00:33:36
Speaker 31: And there are several districts that has been affected.
00:33:39
Speaker 3: So, Roswa is the epicenter. And then there is also.
00:33:43
Speaker 31: Tharding and other districts that is close to also Kathmandu.
00:33:49
Speaker 3: So, they are being affected as well.
00:33:51
Speaker 31: And which means that it will be very hard for people to provide the relief and distribute the necessary elements. But in the long run, I think the impact would be much higher than what it is right now.
00:34:04
Speaker 3: And it is going to affect the whole nation.
00:34:07
Speaker 31: Given that there was a trade route from China to Nepal. And that's really going to be very difficult. However, what I have been hearing back from Nepal is that rescue teams are relying heavily on helicopters, and armies. And then, you know, Nepal is still developing, so they might not have enough resources for that. Yeah, but there are several places. I mean, I can't even name those right now. So many, the roads are blocked and the bridges are taken away. So that's a horrible situation at the moment.
00:34:49
Speaker 6: Just reading about some of the things you've written about in the past, Dr. Rijal, and your area of expertise and study, things like bushfires and how communities respond to floods. This is, though, not a theoretical paper. This is about a country with which you have a great deal of affinity. This must be quite a different experience for you, even from a professional perspective.
00:35:10
Speaker 24: It is.
00:35:11
Speaker 8: It is.
00:35:11
Speaker 31: I think, given that I have researched about the bushfire, I mean, communities actually suffering from flood and bushfire in Australia.
00:35:20
Speaker 28: Mm-hmm.
00:35:21
Speaker 1: I do.
00:35:21
Speaker 3: I mean, we are researching this with Dr.
00:35:24
Speaker 31: Nader Nader Pajo at the University of Sydney.
00:35:27
Speaker 3: And we are a team of people.
00:35:29
Speaker 31: What I see as a, I mean, I am local from Nepal. And then what I see the difference is that if we compare this disaster between developed and countries like Nepal is that also, there is some element of the society in itself, the collectivist society. Nepal is a collectivist society where the community is an informed community.
00:35:53
Speaker 3: So you don't have.
00:35:55
Speaker 31: To say, oh, never needs to know never as a campaign. They know already. So for example, what I've been listening back from home is they were saying that, oh, So as the flood was unfolding, it was upstream and they were informing the people downstream because they are closely connected to each other. Even when there was no warning system placed by the authorities and it was unpredictable as well. In those moments, there were the neighbors who informed. However, it wasn't taken seriously. That was a different story given that there was no rain, so they never expected there would be something like that, right? So, however, here in Australia, what I see is given that we're a very individualistic society where we barely know each other, like our neighbours, and also a lot of people, so newcomers might be in the neighbourhoods and the sub-hubs, and they may still not be aware of potential risk.
00:37:00
Speaker 3: We request a lot of.
00:37:03
Speaker 31: And these things have to happen early on, so not only during the disaster. If you know people, so there can be informal mechanism through ways you can notify the people. Sometimes the government capacity becomes very limited in this kind of situation, regardless of whether you're a developing country or a developed country.
00:37:24
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a fascinating point of the cultural diversity. differences in responses to disasters and in the midst of disasters. Dr Sonia Rijal, we really appreciate your time this morning on 5AA Breakfast.
00:37:37
Speaker 5: Knockdown, build two with Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes, they do it all for you.
00:37:46
Speaker 1: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:37:50
Speaker 6: Date after seven. Good morning, Turf. You're joining us for the first time on this Friday, the 28th of August. You're doing so right as the sun has emerged from above the hills and there is a magnificent weekend on the way in Adelaide. It's as informed. Meet Trey Friday this morning because yesterday, I think it was exactly this moment Rob texted us saying this is the best time of year for sunrises.
00:38:09
Speaker 9: Yep.
00:38:10
Speaker 6: You get nice early light. The sun comes up. Exactly right. You're just bathing in it at the moment.
00:38:14
Speaker 17: I am.
00:38:14
Speaker 7: I feel like I'm getting a tan.
00:38:16
Speaker 6: I think you probably are.
00:38:16
Speaker 18: Delightful.
00:38:17
Speaker 6: The meat tray, thanks to Liam Jones and the team, my local butcher, Chanel, is 62 Prospect Road at Prospect. We're simply asking you what the best date of the year weather-wise is. If you could pick any single date. And now, what a lot of people are doing, which I think is nice, are attaching special meanings to those days. So sometimes it's been raining, sometimes it's been sunny, but they always remember feeling great on a certain date, which is a lovely way of getting into the meat tray this morning. And all your nominations are welcome. Let's head to Woodcroft, because Adrian has a day for us. Adrian, which one?
00:38:46
Speaker 21: Yeah, good morning, team.
00:38:47
Speaker 2: Hi.
00:38:47
Speaker 21: Well, I'm now at my landing because I'm at work. My friends and family think I'm a little bit weird. I love astronomy. They do. I love astronomy. I love astrophysics. I like to study orbital mechanics, but I have always been interested in where we are in the solar system, where we are in the universe. My head has always been in the clouds. I love observing weather and things like this. So for me, The solstices and the equinoxes are really important. I'm certainly not pagan, but I love observing these dates that have been recognised for thousands, probably thousands of years. And I'm with John Blake when he says, no, the start of winter is the 21st and the 22nd. It's not the first.
00:39:40
Speaker 6: I'm with you, Adrian.
00:39:41
Speaker 21: It's not the first. You too?
00:39:43
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm with you.
00:39:44
Speaker 21: That's just convenience, isn't it, really?
00:39:46
Speaker 6: Completely.
00:39:47
Speaker 21: But when these dates come, it really signifies a change and an observance of where we are.
00:39:57
Speaker 6: So is there any one in particular that is your favourite, a transition?
00:40:01
Speaker 7: You've got to pick.
00:40:03
Speaker 21: One, Adrian. Yeah, I get that. Look, spring is always good. Winter is good. I like winter. The solstices are good, December and June. But there's nothing that feels as good as a day like today, doesn't it, and coming up for the spring equinox day.
00:40:25
Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely. Adrian, our most scientific entry thus far. Thank you. Adrian Woodcroft for the Emitre.
00:40:32
Speaker 7: He didn't pick a date, though, did he?
00:40:34
Speaker 6: Well, he sort of alluded to a few. Okay.
00:40:36
Speaker 7: I don't know what to write down on my notepad.
00:40:40
Speaker 6: Just write equinoxes.
00:40:41
Speaker 17: Okay.
00:40:43
Speaker 6: Just all of them. Just any transition.
00:40:46
Speaker 7: Okay.
00:40:48
Speaker 6: Any sort of seasonal transition.
00:40:50
Speaker 7: I like the theory.
00:40:51
Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. As we said right at the start, no wrong answers for whatever reason. And you can tell us whatever date or range of dates you like. 8223 0000, get calling now. Let's do a bit of a wrap of some of the news that's getting around this morning, starting in the United States.
00:41:07
Speaker 14: So this is Lake Ontario in Canada and in the United States. But we're going to make a little change. We're going to call it something different than Lake Ontario. We're going to call it Lake America. And all it takes is a good pen and some intelligence.
00:41:24
Speaker 6: That's Donald Trump signing an executive order to make official. Naming conventions between countries don't really work because everyone can call it whatever all they want. They've been very famous examples. You look at anywhere in Europe, anywhere between sort of that borders Poland and Germany, for example. I only reuse it because I know it well. And both sides of the border have very different names for all the towns, right? So this happens. This is a very high-profile version and notable, of course, internationally because there historically was no two better friend nations than the US and Canada, and that has entirely deteriorated. So Lake Ontario to become Lake America. Mark Carney, the Prime Minister of Canada, took to Twitter a short time ago and said Lake Ontario come from the Wendat word Ontario. I apologise if I've said that wrong. It's the Indigenous peoples of the area, which means the lake is beautiful, the lake is big. Mark Carney says the name is more than 400 years old. It predates both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America. He says, pointedly, we know that America is changing their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms. Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario then, now and always. None of this is playing badly domestically for Mark Carney, by the way.
00:42:42
Speaker 7: No.
00:42:44
Speaker 6: The Conservatives, just remember the Conservatives in Canada were going to romp it in until Donald Trump declared the Canadians public enemy number one. It's the best thing that's ever happened to the centre-left party that Mark Carney's the head of. It's extraordinary. It is.
00:42:59
Speaker 21: It is.
00:43:00
Speaker 7: Nationalism's doing well at the moment, isn't it?
00:43:02
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:43:03
Speaker 7: Everywhere.
00:43:03
Speaker 6: Everywhere.
00:43:04
Speaker 2: Everywhere.
00:43:04
Speaker 6: Yeah.
00:43:06
Speaker 8: I was interested to see the Premier's comments at the Bush Summit yesterday.
00:43:11
Speaker 7: It's reported in the Advertiser today. And to see the.
00:43:15
Speaker 8: Way that they've– organised the Bush Summit with all of the premiers and the leaders of each state and the Prime Minister was there yesterday and to see Peter Malinowska sitting on stage with Chris Minns, the Premier of New South Wales, the Deputy Premier of WA, as I said, the Prime Minister was there as well and Peter Malinowska says we don't have a migration crisis, we've got a housing crisis and to go up against all those people who are pushing back on migration right now to echo the comments that he's made before to say we need to stop having this and I'm paraphrasing, he didn't use this, but this almost juvenile conversation about migration just to appeal to people who are very anti-migration right now. When that is not the issue, the issue is housing. If we had more houses, we would not have an issue with migration. We need migrants to fill the jobs that other people don't want to fill or that we don't have enough people to fill.
00:44:07
Speaker 7: We do not have enough people right now.
00:44:09
Speaker 8: And it was really interesting to see that the crowd at the Bush Summit actually agreeing with that because usually you think of people from the regions and rural parts of Australia and farmers, and you'd think they're quite conservative, but to see them agreeing with a Labor Premier like Peter Malinowskis.
00:44:23
Speaker 6: Well, they know pretty well, as we discussed with Farrah in Susan Lee's old seat, that these guys rely on Pacific Islanders and backpackers and people to do fruit picking. I think farmers are actually pretty across the the labour force shortages we would have in Australia in the absence of those people. You're right. The whole migration debate is now becoming a reverse auction where you win it by saying the smallest number, which for consistency... is the thing I find most tedious and I hate about politics when it goes the other way, which is the party that says the biggest number cares most about health. We're going to spend a billion. We're going to spend 1.5 billion. Okay. Why not spend 10?
00:45:08
Speaker 7: If we're just throwing numbers out.
00:45:09
Speaker 6: If we're throwing numbers out and there's, they're untethered from reality. And this is how we always do politics in this country. Now, the same holds true for when you say the smallest number being the most popular untethered from any intellectual rigor. So I thought, To use the farmer's example, they know they need fruit pickers. And I think there's still plenty of people in Australia that know we need aged care workers and so forth. Now, legitimate conversation, are the right professionals being brought in?
00:45:36
Speaker 2: Yep.
00:45:37
Speaker 6: I think probably not. There's probably work to be done. But reducing it just to some, well, my number's smaller than your number is the exact same thing as saying, well, I care more about education because I'm going to spend more than you.
00:45:50
Speaker 32: Yep.
00:45:52
Speaker 6: It's anti-intellectual.
00:45:54
Speaker 8: And every time I see the Premier make those comments, particularly on a national setting like the Bush summit, I just think, well, you know, at least we have a Premier who's willing to stick with his guns on matters like that. And he's willing to say them in front of a stage of people who totally disagree with him.
00:46:08
Speaker 6: He's also got orcas. And he's terrified about what South Australia's reputation is going to be if we don't have enough people who can actually do the job. 17 after 7. Let's talk about.
00:46:17
Speaker 6: Something I think we'll all be united in disgust about. The snatching of busts on North Terrace. Mary Lee, a suffragist. You know, I learnt yesterday they've been presumed a suffragist and a suffragette. Because I wasn't sure. I thought, surely she's a suffragette. But it pertains specifically to British suffragists. They were suffragettes. Suffragists in Australia. Mary Lee snatched from the plinth on North Terrace near Government House between June 26th and July 2nd. The bust of sculptor, painter and teacher John Stuart Dowie, stolen from a plinth on North Terrace outside the State Library. This is not some political protest. This is some lowlife trying to use these artefacts of history for scrap metal. Go and sell them. Laney Anderson is an author, journalist and historian who joins us on 5AA Breakfast. This is sort of like, this is sort of a last days of Rome feel about it, doesn't it? Laney, this is, you know, we can't protect it. the busts that celebrate great former South Australians. What can we protect? Good morning.
00:47:19
Speaker 23: Hi. Hi, Will and Stacey. Yes, it's so sad. I must admit, with all due respect to John Dowie, who was amazing, I went, not Mary, not Mary, because she was just such a tiny, towering woman, you know, and South Australia, Australia has so few women statues as there are, and we've lost.
00:47:40
Speaker 14: One, you know.
00:47:41
Speaker 29: It's just, it is sad.
00:47:42
Speaker 1: And, yeah.
00:47:43
Speaker 23: Yeah. It's frustrating.
00:47:48
Speaker 7: It is frustrating.
00:47:49
Speaker 8: And you, as a historian, author, you know particularly the impact that Mary had.
00:47:56
Speaker 7: Give us a couple of little tidbits about the work she did.
00:47:59
Speaker 2: Yes.
00:47:59
Speaker 23: Well, I actually did a post on her a while back. I've been trying to focus on women who raised up other women in South Australia. And I learned that she only came to Adelaide at the age of 58 in 1879. And in the next 30 years, she was just so revolutionary. So she helped to raise the age of consent for girls from 12 to 16. As you said, Will, she was a powerhouse in the Women's Suffrage League here in SA. She was a huge organiser of women power, of money and scant resources. So she led the charge of South Australia, not only becoming the first in Australia to to give women the vote, but also to be able to stand for parliament, which simultaneously made us the first place in the world to achieve that. She was founding secretary of the Working Women's Trade Union, fighting for better rights and pay for women. She was the first and only female visitor to the lunatic asylum here in Adelaide. So just an amazing woman who did not stop fighting for women until her death in 1909.
00:49:10
Speaker 7: Yeah, and we need more statues of women.
00:49:12
Speaker 8: I love your words, Lainey, you wrote, though impoverished, she was a feisty, energetic and proud woman.
00:49:18
Speaker 7: And I just love that description.
00:49:21
Speaker 24: I know, yeah.
00:49:22
Speaker 23: What an amazing woman who just sort of forgot whatever was going on in her own life and channeled everything into helping others. And the amazing thing about, well, not amazing, but the shocking thing really is SBS did a survey of the number of statues and monuments around Australia. Adelaide actually leads the charge with statues of women at 18%. Oh, really?
00:49:51
Speaker 4: The rest are men.
00:49:52
Speaker 23: Wow.
00:49:54
Speaker 7: And that's a high point, 18%.
00:49:55
Speaker 23: That's a high point, most of about 15% women because, as we know, men ruled the world, men wrote the history about men. So, yeah, it's very sad. Funnily enough, I actually walked past where her bust is the other day outside Government House. And because the plinth is low and it's got a backdrop of those gorgeous ferns behind it, I glanced as I walked past because I was in a hurry and said, Hi, Mary Lee, and she wasn't there. It's so sad.
00:50:31
Speaker 13: But hopefully....
00:50:33
Speaker 23: Surely someone knows something and if they just leave the two busts in a public place, we can, you know, get them back.
00:50:41
Speaker 7: Yeah, great point, Laney. Just leave them somewhere.
00:50:45
Speaker 8: Even if it was people who don't know the significance of what they've taken, just leave them somewhere.
00:50:49
Speaker 6: It's got to be a case where it's worth more to us than it is to them.
00:50:52
Speaker 24: Totally.
00:50:53
Speaker 6: Surely.
00:50:54
Speaker 23: Yeah, it would have to be. I mean, what would they get, a few hundred bucks or something? I mean, it's sad that there are even people out there who are so desperate who need to do it, isn't it? Yeah. You know, it's just so maddening. And I should say, I've focused on Larry Lieberman and absolutely no respect for John Dowie, who was just amazing. He fought in various theaters of war during the Second World War and went on to just be an amazing sculptor who's got works all around the world as well as many here in Adelaide. So he was an incredible man as well and a brilliant South Australian.
00:51:28
Speaker 6: There's great historical context, Lainey. We really appreciate you coming on. Thanks for your time.
00:51:33
Speaker 25: Thank you.
00:51:34
Speaker 23: Bye.
00:51:34
Speaker 6: Lainey Anderson on the theft of the busts on North Terrace. It's actually just really sad.
00:51:40
Speaker 7: It is. Anne makes a good point on the text line.
00:51:43
Speaker 9: Don't worry.
00:51:43
Speaker 8: There's still a tunnel boring machine named after her. Perhaps we can put that on display.
00:51:47
Speaker 6: I mean, if you're going to steal something.
00:51:49
Speaker 9: That would be worth a lot more.
00:51:50
Speaker 6: That's worth way more, isn't it?
00:51:51
Speaker 7: Imagine taking that to the.
00:51:52
Speaker 6: You know, think big. Go to the local salvage yard. They've got a TBM.
00:51:59
Speaker 9: 500 bucks.
00:52:01
Speaker 6: All right, 22 after 7. We'll get to some of your texts in a while, but we're going to talk sport too. Timmy J on Wildcard Round and the World of Sport this weekend coming up next.
00:52:11
Speaker 5: Knockdown, Bill 2, with Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes, they do it all for you.
00:52:19
Speaker 4: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee.
00:52:21
Speaker 6: This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:52:22
Speaker 1: Speaking about report cards with distinctions, here's Jennifer.
00:52:31
Speaker 4: Tim Ginniver. On 5AA Breakfast. Timmy G.
00:52:37
Speaker 9: Timmy G.
00:52:40
Speaker 6: Well, it's here. The inaugural Gather Round is upon us. Timmy G, like all footy fans, who I'm sure will be watching on with interest this evening and over the course of the weekend. Broadly speaking.
00:52:50
Speaker 7: Wild card round.
00:52:51
Speaker 6: Wild card. What did I call it?
00:52:52
Speaker 7: Gather round.
00:52:52
Speaker 6: Gather round. Oh, my God. I'm hopeless. There's too much innovation in football, Timmy. I can't keep up. Gather round. Wild card rounds. I don't know. I'm getting old. Do you like it? Mate, I was with you.
00:53:04
Speaker 9: I said, it's April already.
00:53:10
Speaker 6: I went to sleep once and woke up and I'm 60. My mouth moves faster than my brain far too often on this program. Where are we at? Wildcard round. It is here.
00:53:21
Speaker 20: Look, I remember talking to you and Pemba about it earlier in the year when it was introduced and I said, look, it's one of those things where we all feel it's rewarding mediocrity and it's just extending out the final series and it's a money-making exercise. But I said, I bet you we all watch it on Friday and Saturday.
00:53:42
Speaker 26: Night when it comes.
00:53:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right.
00:53:45
Speaker 6: And that's where we're at.
00:53:46
Speaker 20: I think if this was a week off, which it has been in the past sort of four or five years, I think we would all be going, oh, this is boring, this is horrible. So I think at least it gives us something to watch One thing I probably have been a little pleased with is, like Carlton finished.
00:54:03
Speaker 6: 10th, but they had 12 wins.
00:54:05
Speaker 20: And you go, wow, that in the past might have made the eight, you know, and it's just got so much harder to get in the eight. You have to, you know, sort of get 14 now that 12 wins didn't get rewarded. So at least they sort of feel like they've been rewarded for their back half of the season. But this is where it becomes a knockout comp. And I've got to say, and I was going to ask you, Will, as an Adelaide supporter, last week getting out of that 7-10 must have felt so good for Adelaide. I could feel it in the players we.
00:54:37
Speaker 6: Interviewed during the week.
00:54:38
Speaker 14: Oh, yeah.
00:54:39
Speaker 20: That has been a really.
00:54:40
Speaker 6: Good event for them. Well, I think wildcard round is death for real. Going deep in September aspirations. It's hard to imagine playing an extra game, no break, travelling every game after the wildcard. Yeah, this is a much better result for the Adelaide Football Club. Spot on.
00:54:59
Speaker 20: And then I said, OK, put everything aside.
00:55:03
Speaker 6: Who do you want to play?
00:55:04
Speaker 20: And it's going to be either Melbourne, Bulldogs or Collingwood. Which one do you want to play?
00:55:08
Speaker 6: Anyone but Collingwood? Yeah, I think you're right. I think you're right. I would feel... exceedingly confident if I was Matthew Nix against any of those sides but Collingwood. Because the recent history is not good.
00:55:21
Speaker 20: I think you're right. And you're right, and I think that that mental hurdle is just something you don't need to face again so early in the development of winning finals. And I think that playing either Bulldogs or Melbourne will make that not so much an easier task, but one that can be met with a lot more confidence in the mind. So We'll see how that plays out. Hey, what do you think of that Geelong sanction? Gee, that was hard.
00:55:49
Speaker 22: Oh, God.
00:55:51
Speaker 20: I don't know how they'll recover from that.
00:55:52
Speaker 6: They nearly did everything right, Timmy, Andrew Dillon said.
00:55:55
Speaker 7: Almost everything.
00:55:55
Speaker 6: They did almost everything right. What about the.
00:56:00
Speaker 20: They've got the existing chairman who was there as president of the football club during this. They've got the COO that was at Geelong in the AFL currently.
00:56:12
Speaker 25: So.
00:56:12
Speaker 20: This is just one of those classics where Michael Warner wrote the book. I think he wrote the book The Boys Club. I said, I think he's going to have to write a new one. He's going to have to update it for all the things that have happened since.
00:56:23
Speaker 6: The kitty litter. Oh, mate. I'm telling you, and I know I.
00:56:27
Speaker 20: Don't want to sound paranoid, but if it was West Coast, Freo, Port or the Crows, we would be so much more sanctioned and missing out on draft picks and you name it. 100 grand, boys, and nothing to see here.
00:56:41
Speaker 6: Yeah, and they had hanging over fines as well. You know, it wasn't like it was a first offence. It's just staggering. Sort of staggering, but as you say, somewhat predictable as well. Good on you, Timmy.
00:56:52
Speaker 21: Spot on.
00:56:53
Speaker 22: Ooroo.
00:56:56
Speaker 5: Knockdown, Bill 2, with Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes, they do it all for you.
00:57:04
Speaker 1: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:57:08
Speaker 6: 18 minutes to eight. The meat tray this morning, thanks to the wonderful team at Chanel's Meat Tray Friday OGs. Liam, Joanna, you know the gang. My local butcher, 62 Prospect Road at Prospect. Just try and walk in there and only come out with what you originally planned to buy. It is physically impossible. You'll pick up 19 other things. I mentioned the giant crumpets when we were in there the other day.
00:57:33
Speaker 7: Oh, they're so good.
00:57:34
Speaker 6: I wasn't planning to get giant crumpets, but guess what? We did and I ate them all. And you need them in your life. Now they're just a permanent fixture. Thank you, Chanel's. Let's go to Mount Barker. Arthur's got a nomination for the best weather date in Adelaide each year. Arthur, good morning.
00:57:48
Speaker 16: Good morning to you both. It's a lovely morning up here. Now, a great uncle of mine, he started work way back in 1908 and he died in 1973. But he hated the winter. But here, August class, August the 20th is the change of the, getting out of the worst of winter, coming into spring.
00:58:11
Speaker 6: Gee, I reckon he's pretty right, Arthur, because it feels like it, doesn't it? 28th today, and it feels like it's totally changed.
00:58:17
Speaker 25: Yeah.
00:58:17
Speaker 7: Wait, did you say the 20th or the 28th?
00:58:19
Speaker 27: The 20th of the.
00:58:21
Speaker 6: Yeah, but it feels like over the last week, things have certainly shifted.
00:58:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, it does.
00:58:25
Speaker 16: See, you remember, you're getting 10 months past the shortest day, and the sun's coming up a lot earlier in the morning too now.
00:58:32
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's a great observation, Arthur, and it's a good nomination. And you, sir, are in the running to win a meat tray this morning.
00:58:38
Speaker 7: And I was not expecting to get a winter date.
00:58:40
Speaker 28: No.
00:58:40
Speaker 6: We've had quite a few. I knew we would. There's other people that like winter and like it cool, but they don't like publicly announcing because they feel like they're going to be, you know, admonished or kicked out of society and some such. But don't worry. This is a safe space. Safe space for everyone. Whatever you like. For the meat tray, 8223 0000 is the number. All right, let's wrap the last week in federal politics heading to Canberra with our 5AA correspondent, Michael Packie. Pat, good morning to you.
00:59:07
Speaker 26: Good morning. How are you, Will? How are you, Stacey? Good.
00:59:10
Speaker 6: I want to ask you a question, Michael, that's a bit off the reservation because we started the program wondering about this this morning. if you had to each week i reckon it's this is an oversimplification but you can probably nominate who won the week in federal politics which party had the best week uh and i think one nation have won a lot of weeks this year i this this last week i find it almost impossible to determine it feels like they've all had very ordinary.
00:59:35
Speaker 12: Weeks i think that that's right um you're right um most weeks it does appear that one nation seems to be winning the debates and uh We seem to be talking about some of the issues that One Nation has been bringing up and then the opposition and the government really have to respond to what One Nation is talking about.
00:59:53
Speaker 26: But this week, I do think you're right.
00:59:55
Speaker 12: I don't think either Labor, the opposition, or One Nation have really dominated the agenda. In fact, I would argue that all of them have shown where the cracks have appeared in their policy positions. And I think that I would argue that on the immigration issues, there definitely are cracks appearing on the One Nation side. The Labor Party doesn't really seem to know where it wants to land on this issue. And all of a sudden, I think the opposition is trying not to talk about it because they know that the issue is really vexed and complex, even within their own party. So I do think that that's one issue that has dominated the last couple of days, and it dominated the Bush summit in the regional New South Wales town of Dubbo yesterday, in which your Premier, Peter Malinowskis, was there. But I do think that they have all got these confused positions on this issue. And that's because I think that when it comes to the issue of immigration is that it's not as easy as it all seems. I think it's easy for one nation to say, oh, we want to cap the migration rate at 130,000 people. But what does that actually mean? How would that policy actually look like? And when I do think that that number and the party... does come under scrutiny, that's where it falls apart for One Nation. And we did see that this week with David Farley, their new candidate for the New South Wales seat of Farrah, which borders Victoria and South Australia. So it's a fairly large electorate, but it's considered a New South Wales electorate. When he was asked, he was asked, you know, what is one nation's migration target? He says, well, it's 130,000. However, that doesn't include all visa classes. And that when you start including the fruit pickers, the Pacific visa class, people you want in the country to help with aged care and those sorts of issues, well, the numbers start adding up.
01:01:56
Speaker 26: And it's not 130,000.
01:01:57
Speaker 12: It's probably closer to 230,000. And so then you had people like Pauline Hanson and the party trying to, you know, play all of this down. But it raises the question that it's easy to come out and talk about a number. But, you know, the policy is a lot more complex and nuanced than it seems on paper.
01:02:19
Speaker 21: Yeah.
01:02:21
Speaker 8: And that's always the case. The devil is in the detail. We see it here locally all the time. You know, I will fix the ramping crisis. OK, well, how will you do that? How exactly are you going to do that?
01:02:30
Speaker 7: It's The devil will always be in the detail.
01:02:32
Speaker 8: And when a party like One Nation becomes more mainstream and more popular, there will be more scrutiny on their policy.
01:02:37
Speaker 7: And if they can't get the detail right, that's where it might start to unravel.
01:02:42
Speaker 26: But you know what's interesting about what you're saying?
01:02:44
Speaker 4: And you're right.
01:02:44
Speaker 26: You're right, Stacey. What you're saying is right.
01:02:46
Speaker 12: But what's interesting about it, I find it amazing that even though these holes are starting to appear in some of the policy that One Nation talks about, no one seems to care.
01:02:58
Speaker 24: Hmm.
01:02:59
Speaker 12: It's almost like, oh, yeah, the policy might not be quite right, but I like the vibe of the policy. And so that's what seems to keep them chugging along, even though there are cracks that are clearly appearing within their own party and among their own members over this issue.
01:03:21
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was looking at the way in which this story's been framed on morning television and other places. Still three graphics get put up on the screen about each party's immigration position and whether One Nation's is accurately portrayed as 130 or not, wherever it sits, it's still lower than everywhere else. And I think to a lot of people, that's frankly all that matters. That's been interesting. We had National Cabinet this week as well, Pac. Data centres were on the agenda here. This has been a big talking point in in SA because the Premier has been very gung-ho about data centres here in South Australia. But it looks like we're going to have to compete with some other states who aren't going to be bound by the sorts of renewable energy requirements that we will be here in South Australia. Explain how that negotiation happened.
01:04:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, OK.
01:04:06
Speaker 12: So essentially, as you say, the issue of data centres is also starting to become quite heated because, you know, there's so many of these that are popping up. I think there's about more than 200 that are still in the pipeline around the country that are meant to be built. So the federal government is saying there needs to be a bit of coordination amongst all the states and territories involved. when it comes to the location of these data centres, the energy that they use, that they should have their own energy use and that the use of energy should be all renewable and that they should limit their water use because they're fairly water intensive as well. So the Queensland government has said, well, you know, we don't agree with that. We believe that if we want to give permission for a data centre to pop up, that data centre should be able to either operate on renewables or fossil fuels, being coal and gas. And so that was a bone of contention for the Prime Minister. But in the end, when they had their national cabinet meeting earlier this week, which was face-to-face, I should add, normally they're virtual, but this one was a face-to-face national cabinet meeting, it does appear that the the data centres not only to run on renewables, but on fossil fuels, coal and gas, if they want to. And that is quite a shift because the Commonwealth was really pushing for these data centres to be virtually run all on renewables.
01:05:33
Speaker 7: Interesting.
01:05:34
Speaker 6: Great analysis, Pat. We really appreciate your time, mate. Thank you for that.
01:05:37
Speaker 26: No problem. Good on you, guys.
01:05:38
Speaker 6: Michael Packie, our 5AA Canberra correspondent. We might take a quick Meat Tray Friday call before we go to The traffic, Dave, has called in. Dave, what's the best weather day of the year in Adelaide?
01:05:49
Speaker 2: Good morning.
01:05:52
Speaker 28: I'm thinking 27th of August. Only yesterday I saw first little house spider. Yes. I saw a second one this morning, and then I went outside to just have a look at my London plane tree, which is out in the front of the kerb, and it's just starting to show signs of life again. So I'll say the 27th of August.
01:06:10
Speaker 23: Oh.
01:06:11
Speaker 6: We'll take that.
01:06:12
Speaker 7: That feels good because it's nice and close.
01:06:13
Speaker 6: Absolutely. We've just had it then, Dave. Exactly right.
01:06:17
Speaker 20: What day is it?
01:06:18
Speaker 6: Where am I? 28th, Friday. And apparently Gather Round is starting tonight. Let's check traffic.
01:06:25
Speaker 4: Knockdown.
01:06:26
Speaker 5: Bill 2 with Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes.
01:06:32
Speaker 7: They do it all for you.
01:06:33
Speaker 1: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
01:06:41
Speaker 6: Five minutes to wait. We have, you've probably heard in 5AA News across the morning, this extraordinary story in Queensland where a Queensland mother gave birth to twins while acting as a surrogate, only to find out one of the twins is biologically hers. Now, no one can find anything in the record books like this before. So just to be clear, so she's a surrogate. She's having a child on behalf of another family, finds out she's having twins. One of them belongs to the other family, excuse the cumbersome language. The other belongs to her biologically. I don't even know how to tease this out. In fact, no one does because it's never happened before. Let's speak to an expert, though, in our next guest, Alex Polyakov, who is a fertility specialist at the Royal Women's Hospital in Melbourne and associate professor at the University of Melbourne. Associate professor, good morning to you. Good morning. Good morning. So where do we begin teasing this out? Let's talk about the biology of this first. How surprising and unlikely is this to have happened?
01:07:47
Speaker 33: Well, it does happen sometimes in IVF where one embryo is transferred and then the woman is found out to have twins. And if they are of the same gender, then we would usually assume that one embryo splits and you get identical twins. But sometimes you have different genders, which means that one embryo came from the IVF process and the other one was naturally conceived. It is very uncommon, but it does happen very occasionally. Now this case is interesting because it's a surrogacy arrangement and there was one case described previously at least that I could find in 2016 in the United States. There was a woman who was a surrogate for a Chinese couple, gave birth to two babies and one of them was biologically hers and the other one was from the commissioning couple. So it does happen, but it's extremely, extremely rare, mainly because when we do surrogacy process, we advise surrogates not to have intercourse around the time of embryo transfer. So this doesn't happen.
01:08:56
Speaker 7: And in this case, the woman had been told she was infertile.
01:09:00
Speaker 8: So she was the surrogate of what turned out to be a baby boy, then fell pregnant naturally to also be a baby girl.
01:09:08
Speaker 7: Are they technically twins, Alex?
01:09:12
Speaker 33: Well, they are technically twins because she carried them Throughout pregnancy, but they're not biologically related because both egg and sperm come from different sources. So the surrogate couple, they produced an embryo with their biological material and the surrogate herself fallen pregnant with her eggs and presumably her partner's sperm.
01:09:38
Speaker 8: And then the family sort of, it seems, agreed that the surrogate couple would keep the baby boy, which was their embryo, and the woman who had the children would keep the baby girl, which was her naturally born.
01:09:55
Speaker 33: Well, that is exactly what happened in that other case in the United States after a very, very long legal battle. That's what ended up happening. The commissioning couple got to keep their biological child and the woman who gave birth got to keep her biological child. So I would imagine that makes perfect sense legally and ethically.
01:10:17
Speaker 32: Yes.
01:10:18
Speaker 6: If they hadn't come to an amicable agreement, how would have the law resolved this? Do we even know?
01:10:23
Speaker 33: Well, it's impossible to tell because it never came to an argument in front of a judge. But generally speaking, the judges usually take the best interest of the child as the paramount consideration. So they would make an assessment based on that.
01:10:40
Speaker 6: Remarkable.
01:10:41
Speaker 7: It is really remarkable.
01:10:43
Speaker 6: Professor, thank you for your explanation. Associate Professor at the University of Melbourne, Alex Polyakov, who's also a fertility specialist at the Royal Women's Hospital in Melbourne. So one example of this happening a decade ago in the United States, but it's very, very rare. Well done to the family for teasing out a solution that fits everyone as well.
01:11:02
Speaker 7: Yeah.
01:11:03
Speaker 6: What amazing, that little tidbit you had, I think is really quite, makes the whole thing quite miraculous that this was someone who thought they were infertile.
01:11:10
Speaker 1: Yep.
01:11:11
Speaker 25: Yep.
01:11:12
Speaker 21: Wow.
01:11:12
Speaker 7: It's incredible.
01:11:13
Speaker 6: All right, let's talk about weather. Matthew, good morning. What is your favourite day of the year weather-wise, Matthew?
01:11:19
Speaker 18: Yeah, good morning, guys.
01:11:21
Speaker 22: Christmas has to be Christmas.
01:11:23
Speaker 10: Great weather, family, too much food, six-pack of goopers.
01:11:29
Speaker 22: The best day.
01:11:29
Speaker 6: That's a great one. You know, we tried to start a tradition in our household, to Matthew's point, on Christmas morning. that we'd always go and have a swim, wake up, go straight to the beach and get in the water. And what we did was we found that those were really cold Christmases. And we figured we jinxed Christmas by trying to start a tradition. And we were ruining it for everyone, so we stopped.
01:11:52
Speaker 7: Oh, well, thank you for stopping and acknowledging.
01:11:54
Speaker 6: It was our sacrifice.
01:11:55
Speaker 7: On behalf of everyone else who wants a warm Christmas.
01:11:57
Speaker 6: You can interpret that story two ways. Either it was a really sad, sacrificial thing to benefit everyone or I'm a total wuss and I didn't like the cold and I wanted to cancel our tradition. It's 8 o'clock, 5AA news time. Good breaking at 8 this morning. They've all been great breaking at 8. This was really interesting. Stick around. It's coming up next.
01:12:15
Speaker 5: Knockdown Bill 2 with Metro Homes.
01:12:18
Speaker 7: Sell one and move on.
01:12:20
Speaker 5: Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes. They do it all for you.
01:12:24
Speaker 4: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
01:12:32
Speaker 6: Ten after eight. Beautiful morning outside. Magnificent weekend on the way weather-wise. It has informed our Meat Trail Friday question this morning. We'll be awarding that by nine o'clock thanks to the wonderful team at Chanelas. But just park that for a moment because we have giveaway palooza over the next 50 minutes. We, right after breaking it out, are going to give away a family pass to the Royal Show. You can get your tickets at drakesupermarketsandtheshow.com.au. And we have an AirTouch 500 three-day pass to give away as well. which is, this is great. I like the sound of this event because not only is it, your rev heads are going to love it, but for everyone else too, at a time when money is tight, free parking, free paddock access, expanded fan zones, trackside camping. You don't have to break your budget to spend three days at the bend. It's the enduro race you can really experience. The AirTouch 500 Shell V-Power at Motorsport Park. Now, the way in which you're going to win it is by describing something a la the AFL CEO. Have a listen to Andrew Dillon.
01:13:36
Speaker 11: What it is, is taking into account the importance of complying with the rules. And they didn't comply with the rules here. As I said before, they did nearly everything right.
01:13:45
Speaker 6: He's talking about the Geelong Football Club. Got a $ 140, 000 fine. $ 40, 000 of that was a carryover from previous events. $ 100, 000 grand. for the illegal component of the Jake Coller-Jasny contract, which he said they did nearly everything right.
01:13:59
Speaker 33: Nearly?
01:14:00
Speaker 6: Right up to the point of the illegal bit.
01:14:04
Speaker 7: But apart from that, if we take that out of the equation... It was almost there. It was almost perfect.
01:14:09
Speaker 6: So what we want to know is when did you do nearly everything right? Or would you like to nominate someone who nearly did everything right? Like Edward Smith, who had a wonderful career as a captain of big ships. And his last trip, he nearly got it right. It was just that the Titanic hit an iceberg. Edward Smith nearly did everything right.
01:14:33
Speaker 25: Nearly.
01:14:33
Speaker 2: Nearly.
01:14:34
Speaker 6: Like Geelong.
01:14:35
Speaker 7: Nearly did everything right.
01:14:36
Speaker 6: Nearly did everything right. 8223 0000 for the Royal Show tickets.
01:14:41
Speaker 7: I've got so many examples of this.
01:14:43
Speaker 9: Yeah.
01:14:43
Speaker 6: It might be from your own life. It might be from people in history who nearly did everything right.
01:14:48
Speaker 8: I've got one from just earlier this morning, someone who nearly did everything right.
01:14:55
Speaker 6: Well, it's here. The inaugural gather round is upon us. Timmy G, like all footy fans, who I'm sure will be watching on with interest this evening and over the course of the weekend. Broadly speaking.
01:15:05
Speaker 7: Wild card round.
01:15:05
Speaker 6: Wild card. What did I call it?
01:15:06
Speaker 7: Gather round.
01:15:07
Speaker 6: Gather round. There's too much innovation in football, Timmy. I can't keep up. Gather round. All these new rounds. Wild card round.
01:15:13
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're right.
01:15:14
Speaker 6: I nearly got it right.
01:15:15
Speaker 7: You nearly got it right.
01:15:16
Speaker 6: I nearly got it right up to the point where I got it completely wrong.
01:15:19
Speaker 1: 8223 0000.
01:15:19
Speaker 7: When did you....
01:15:24
Speaker 6: You can nominate someone else. Thank you, Stacey. Sorry, I do. Nearly do everything right for the Royal Show Pass or the Airtouch 500 tickets. Let's go breaking it out.
01:15:38
Speaker 8: Well, earlier this year when it was announced the MotoGP was coming to Adelaide, it was sold here as a big win for South Australia and sold as a big loss for Victoria.
01:15:48
Speaker 7: Which, you know, Let's be honest, we all here love to see.
01:15:53
Speaker 8: But now we're getting a bit more information about why Victoria didn't.
01:15:57
Speaker 7: Actually want the CBD street race.
01:16:00
Speaker 8: So to talk us through that is Martin Pakula, the chairperson for the Australian Grand Prix Corporation, also a former Victorian Labor Major Events Minister. Good morning to you, Martin Pakula.
01:16:12
Speaker 2: Good morning, Stacey. How are you?
01:16:13
Speaker 7: Good, thank you.
01:16:15
Speaker 8: So we sort of, yeah, we're told this is a big win for SA, loss for Victoria because we won the event over Victoria.
01:16:23
Speaker 7: In your eyes, is that what happened?
01:16:26
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, it depends on how you look at it. I mean, we certainly wanted to keep the race at Phillip Island. You know, we've made no bones about that. Phillip Island's been a beloved circuit for a long time. You know, riders love it. Fans love it, and it's perfectly set up for two-wheel racing. So we didn't want to lose it from Phillip Island, but we also didn't want to move it to Albert Park, which was the demand that was made by Dorna Sports, the owners of the MotoGP World Tour. So when that demand became apparent, and it was obviously driven by the fact that there had been conversations with South Australia... We took it seriously and we did the work to understand what motorcycle racing in a public park would involve. And when we understood the implications, we said, thanks, but no thanks. We were more than happy to continue at Phillip Island and we made a strong bid to do that, but we weren't prepared to move it to Albert Park.
01:17:25
Speaker 6: What were the implications?
01:17:28
Speaker 2: Well, well north of 200 trees would have had to come down. That was the the most sort of obvious implication because, you know, we got some people in to do the work. Albert Park, the Albert Park circuit also has a golf course around it. So somewhere between four and six holes of that golf course would have had a road go through them. So that would have been the end of the golf course. We would have locked the community out of the park for an extra four to six weeks. And it's already... there's already a bit of angst in that local community about the lockout during the F1. So that would have added another month or month and a half to that lockout. And importantly, it would have had a negative impact on the configuration of the F1 circuit itself. So for all those reasons, we couldn't in good conscience recommend to the government that they agree to that. And frankly, I don't think they were ever likely to support it. Phillip Island's very, very popular in Victoria. It's a very iconic circuit. I think it would have been a massive breach of faith with that community to have agreed to move the MotoGP away from there.
01:18:37
Speaker 8: So are you surprised by some of the protests that have been happening here in South Australia regarding the proposed, or we haven't actually got the official circuit yet, but what will be the Moto circuit impacting trees and parklands and access to the parklands?
01:18:55
Speaker 2: Well, no, it'd be difficult for me to say I'm surprised because, I mean, these are all the things that we anticipated would likely happen in Albert Park if we'd gone ahead with that. And And to be frank, you know, the Victorian government 30 years ago saw similar activity in Albert Park when the F1 moved there. So community being unhappy about the loss of access to parkland, the loss of trees, I'm not surprised by any of that. But my presumption would be that the South Australian government likewise, you know, did that work, understands the implications in there. I'm happy to accept them, and I'll make no comment about that because that's a matter for South Australia, and I certainly wish Adelaide every bit of good fortune in the race because it's a fantastic event. It's a very difficult thing to run in a city circuit environment. I mean, there are no street circuits in MotoGP in the world because of those difficulties because you need so much more runoff for motorbikes There are safety issues. It's a really tricky thing to put on as part of a street circuit. And our view is it's more appropriate in a dedicated motorsports circuit.
01:20:19
Speaker 8: Now, Martin, it would be remiss of us not to ask you, as the chair of the Australian Grand Prix Corporation, lots of people here speculating that that might be the next event the Malinowskis government goes after, the Grand Prix, of course.
01:20:31
Speaker 7: What What would you say to that?
01:20:33
Speaker 2: I'd be surprised if they didn't. Well, look, we've got the event contracted till 2037. And I know Mally's pretty good, but I'm not even sure he'll be around in 2037. So, no, we're pretty comfortable with our contractual status for the F1. We're... in the process of constructing a brand-new pit building, and we've got it locked away for more than a decade. So Mallee should have a crack by all means, but I think he's got his work cut out for him.
01:21:04
Speaker 8: And just quickly on that, if the South Australian government did have a crack and it was successful, would the timing of the event need to change? Because at the moment it's in March, and we've got a lot of other events on in that part of the city in March, or would you be committed to keeping it in March?
01:21:19
Speaker 2: Well, I think, well, two things. It is the hypothetical to end all hypotheticals. We've got the event contracted to 2037. But if South Australia one day did have the event, the timing of it would not be a matter for me. It's actually the timing of Grand Prix is a matter for Formula One. They set the calendar in conjunction with the FIA, So there's no state jurisdiction or indeed national jurisdiction that gets to decide when an F1 event's on. It's on when Formula One and the FIA say they're on.
01:21:57
Speaker 6: Yeah, if they knew what was good for them, they'd just give us two Grands Prix, Martin, obviously.
01:22:01
Speaker 2: No, well, we don't just have it locked into 2037, but we have Australian exclusivity. So you'll be pushing the proverbial uphill.
01:22:13
Speaker 6: Well, that was worth a try.
01:22:15
Speaker 7: Good on you, Martin.
01:22:17
Speaker 6: Thanks for your time this morning.
01:22:18
Speaker 2: Thanks, Will. Thanks, Stacey.
01:22:21
Speaker 34: Interesting.
01:22:25
Speaker 6: Yeah, fascinating. Martin Pakula, the Australian Grand Prix Corporation chairperson and former Victorian Major Events Minister for Breaking Eight this morning. All right, inspired by Andrew Dillon's They Nearly Did Everything Right.
01:22:35
Speaker 11: What it is, is taking into account the importance of complying with the rules. And they didn't comply with the rules here, as I said before. They did nearly everything right.
01:22:44
Speaker 6: They didn't comply with the rules. That's what's important. And they didn't hear, but they did nearly everything right. That's the most Geelongified explanation of breaking of the rules I've ever heard in my life, courtesy of the AFL-CEO. So we're asking you this morning, when did you nearly get everything right, a la Geelong? Shandell, good morning.
01:23:05
Speaker 32: Good morning, Will and Stacey. I'm ringing on behalf of my son. He nearly executed. the most impressive illegal U-turn, until he got onto the main road, had flashing undercover lights present to him, then was given a good old lecture. Apparently, he was told he got zero out of 10 for technique, begged.
01:23:32
Speaker 27: For mercy, no ticket on the.
01:23:34
Speaker 32: Day, however, a $ 573 ticket. Fine arrived yesterday for the poor uni student.
01:23:41
Speaker 24: Ouch.
01:23:42
Speaker 7: That'll teach him.
01:23:42
Speaker 6: He nearly got everything right. Up until the time he did something illegal, like Geelong, he did everything right. Let's go to George. Morning, George.
01:23:51
Speaker 18: Hello, mate.
01:23:52
Speaker 21: How are you?
01:23:53
Speaker 34: Good, George.
01:23:55
Speaker 10: After 48 years of marriage, I nearly.
01:23:58
Speaker 2: I'm speaking on behalf of all husbands.
01:24:00
Speaker 13: As a husband, I nearly get everything right.
01:24:03
Speaker 6: Good on you, George. That's a good one. I felt that one. Yeah, just everything is nearly right.
01:24:08
Speaker 7: I felt it too.
01:24:10
Speaker 6: Dean in Flinders Park, good morning.
01:24:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, good morning. I reckon Apollo 13 nearly didn't get it all right.
01:24:19
Speaker 20: Yeah, they did.
01:24:19
Speaker 6: They almost did everything right. I mean, they didn't get to the moon. But they got home safe.
01:24:25
Speaker 2: Yeah.
01:24:25
Speaker 6: The mission was to get to the moon, and they did everything but get to the moon. Nearly got it right. Scott and Modbury, good morning.
01:24:32
Speaker 21: G'day, guys.
01:24:33
Speaker 18: Well, to keep the Geelong flavour going, Brett Evers almost got it all right. Went at the five-minute, 34-second mark of the first quarter of the 2007 Grand Final. Put us in front by one point. I mean, if I remember correctly, I think they kind of just snuck across the line to steal that game from us. But, you know, if only he'd kicked that goal.
01:24:53
Speaker 6: They nearly did everything right. That's perfect, Scott. Thank you. Who can even remember what happened 120 points later? Thank you for that, Scott. Now, who gets the show tickets, the family pass, and who gets the AirTouch 500? Okay, all right. Shell Power V Motorsport.
01:25:10
Speaker 8: I reckon Shandell can get the... The show tickets, take her son, illegal U-turn. He nearly got everything right.
01:25:17
Speaker 6: He nearly got everything right.
01:25:18
Speaker 7: And George, being a husband, you can go to the AirTouch.
01:25:21
Speaker 6: Yep, absolutely. AirTouch 500 at the Shell V-Power Motorsport Park. You get a VA hot lap experience as well, which is absolutely sensational.
01:25:29
Speaker 7: Maybe we should swap them. Give Shandell's son the opportunity to do a hot lap.
01:25:35
Speaker 6: Sounds like he's already done one. All right, let's check traffic.
01:25:39
Speaker 5: Knock down. Build two. With Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment.
01:25:45
Speaker 4: Metro Homes.
01:25:46
Speaker 5: They do it all for you.
01:25:47
Speaker 4: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee.
01:25:49
Speaker 1: This is 5AA Breakfast.
01:25:52
Speaker 6: 27 after 8. Foodie Friday a little bit later today. Lee Forest and Chris Jarmer.
01:25:57
Speaker 4: 2.30.
01:25:57
Speaker 6: Get you prepared for a magnificent weekend. All thanks to Smeg and Powers. Building or renovating? Your first choice should be visiting the Smeg showroom at Debney Distributors. Taste the difference with Smeg. and powers. I love this next story. Ben Cashin at Seven had it on Channel 7 News last night. There is this seemingly legendary figure in the hills that is causing all sorts of ruckus, the bin bandit. The genesis of yesterday's reporting was a big skip bin that ended up in the river near Aldgate. And people were wondering how in the hell that, how could you even achieve that without You know, a crane or how do you drag? How does no one see anyone involved in it? And there's been mysterious tagging of bins. So the graffiting of bins with bin bandit written on it. And people are wondering, does this mean their bins are next?
01:26:45
Speaker 7: What is happening?
01:26:45
Speaker 6: Who knows? Any Hills locals, if you're aware of this, let us know. Give us a call, 8223 0000. Alicia Franklin from Aldgate joins us. Alicia, good morning. Were you aware of the bin bandit before this story and before one of your bins got tagged?
01:27:02
Speaker 34: Yes, this has been happening for years now.
01:27:06
Speaker 6: So what kind of other things does the bin bandit do in the hills?
01:27:11
Speaker 34: Well, they've only just been meddling with our bins along our shop personally and everybody else near us as well. And what they do is they just put all of our bins on the main street of Allgate and around the roundabout, just causing a really big headache for us there. every, like, Saturday morning, not, like, every, like, two to four weeks, I guess. So it's in a sporadic period when it happens. So, yeah, it's just a big headache.
01:27:41
Speaker 6: And does your bin being tagged mean you're next, based on how you understand this works, Alicia?
01:27:48
Speaker 34: Well, it actually happened last Saturday. It was the biggest one that they've ever done. I don't have any footage, but they... put everyone's bins in shopping trolleys, putting waste and rubbish on the streets, cut like broken up cardboard and stuff, just making a really big mess for our street, which is just.
01:28:08
Speaker 16: Horrible to see.
01:28:08
Speaker 6: So it sounds like it's probably some kid's up to no good, doesn't it?
01:28:11
Speaker 34: Oh, yeah, definitely. It has to be.
01:28:13
Speaker 6: But it feels odd that no one's been able to spot them.
01:28:17
Speaker 34: Yeah, well, because our shops are.
01:28:21
Speaker 25: quite old.
01:28:22
Speaker 34: They've been there for 60, 70 odd years now. We've got no CCTV cameras or anything like that, so it's pretty easy for anybody to do that.
01:28:32
Speaker 6: I see. So it's not so mysterious. What's your shop, Elisha?
01:28:35
Speaker 4: Give yourself a plug.
01:28:36
Speaker 6: So my shop is.
01:28:40
Speaker 25: The Allgate Chip Shop.
01:28:41
Speaker 34: I run it with my partner, Joe Braddon, and we're just two down-to-earth people who love giving, well, providing people a good feed. We're a well-loved local spot, and we're Yeah, we recommend you guys coming up and give us a try.
01:28:55
Speaker 6: That's a great plug, Alicia. And you know what? Any mugs out there, don't go and hassle local little businesses. Yeah, that's right. Little family business trying to do its best. I'm not saying, you know, go pick on. Exxon Mobil either. But you know what I'm saying? Let's just give little businesses.
01:29:14
Speaker 7: It might seem like fun, but it's inconvenient and annoying.
01:29:17
Speaker 6: Absolutely. Stop it. Bin band. You've had your moment in the sun. Everyone's talking about it. Time to retire. We'll get a job.
01:29:24
Speaker 2: Aldgate.
01:29:24
Speaker 7: Chip shop. Do Great Dim Sim, apparently.
01:29:27
Speaker 6: Is that right?
01:29:28
Speaker 7: Jess is a local.
01:29:29
Speaker 6: Great Dimmies. Soy sauce?
01:29:32
Speaker 7: Yeah.
01:29:33
Speaker 9: Have to.
01:29:34
Speaker 6: Gravy?
01:29:35
Speaker 17: Gravy?
01:29:36
Speaker 6: Dim Sims with gravy.
01:29:39
Speaker 25: Sorry.
01:29:40
Speaker 6: That needs to be interrogated.
01:29:41
Speaker 7: Alicia, how are you allowing that?
01:29:45
Speaker 6: That should be illegal.
01:29:48
Speaker 17: Yes.
01:29:48
Speaker 6: That puts you on a watch list.
01:29:51
Speaker 5: Knockdown Bill 2 with Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment.
01:29:57
Speaker 4: Metro Homes.
01:29:58
Speaker 5: They do it all for you.
01:30:00

01:30:58
Speaker 2: Good morning, Will.
01:30:59
Speaker 13: Stacey, how are you guys?
01:31:00
Speaker 7: Good, thank you.
01:31:01
Speaker 6: We're good, Reno. Reno, have you ever been scammed? It's Scam Week this week.
01:31:08
Speaker 13: No, I haven't, but nearly. You know, back in the old Filipino scamming days, and I had a text message, you've got all this money waiting for you to come in your way.
01:31:21
Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
01:31:21
Speaker 13: So I tried ringing like you do. But luckily, I didn't give any details.
01:31:27
Speaker 6: Oh, well done.
01:31:27
Speaker 7: Smart.
01:31:28
Speaker 14: Well done.
01:31:28
Speaker 6: Yeah, they're getting increasingly clever. I know. Do you think wildcard finals are a good idea, Reno?
01:31:35
Speaker 13: Only for the, shall I say, VFL slash AFL.
01:31:39
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay.
01:31:40
Speaker 13: It's only for their coffers, that's all.
01:31:42
Speaker 6: Yeah, money-making experience.
01:31:44
Speaker 13: The only good thing about it is that there's continuous football.
01:31:47
Speaker 6: That's the big win. Otherwise, this weekend would have been a bye weekend. That would have been.
01:31:52
Speaker 10: That's right.
01:31:52
Speaker 6: And I always hated that. What was the last thing you stole, Reno?
01:31:57
Speaker 25: No, no.
01:32:01
Speaker 13: Well, I am a pen nerd, so if I see a pen lying around, does that mean I'll steal it?
01:32:10
Speaker 6: No, we are safe while listening, Reno. We just thought they asked us to throw that one in. No, we had that because, of course, the busts on North Terrace have been stolen.
01:32:18
Speaker 29: Oh, has it?
01:32:19
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, ridiculous sort of stuff. But we imagine you might be low-level pen larson. He's not going to be here.
01:32:25
Speaker 21: You'll be fine.
01:32:25
Speaker 6: You'll probably get a suspended sentence.
01:32:28
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you.
01:32:28
Speaker 6: What's your favourite song with a woman's name in the title? Reno, the most controversial top seven before seven we've ever done earlier this week.
01:32:35
Speaker 10: Oh, wow.
01:32:36
Speaker 13: That song that's got Michelle written in there because of my partner's name.
01:32:45
Speaker 6: The song with Michelle on the top. We're going to have to Google that.
01:32:48
Speaker 7: Okay, we'll find out.
01:32:49
Speaker 22: Yeah, Google that one.
01:32:50
Speaker 13: I can't remember, but it's the father talking to his daughter.
01:32:53
Speaker 6: All right, well.
01:32:54
Speaker 28: Whatever, yeah.
01:32:54
Speaker 6: Very smooth, Reno. Hopefully Michelle's listening. Thank you. Let's go to Shido Park. Mark, good morning.
01:32:59
Speaker 21: Good morning.
01:33:00
Speaker 29: How are you?
01:33:01
Speaker 6: Mark, who's going to win the Sandville Premiership this year?
01:33:03
Speaker 19: Definitely the Tigers.
01:33:06
Speaker 6: Are you a Bays man? Yes. Yeah, Shido Park makes sense. What are your working hours, Mark?
01:33:14
Speaker 19: Well, I'm an events manager, so I just go where the events are. So I look after clients during the week, and then I'm there at night time to look after them and execute the events exactly as they'd like it.
01:33:25
Speaker 7: So you're nine to nine.
01:33:27
Speaker 6: Nine to nine, not nine to five. Or five to nine, as we found out. Dolly Parton did both versions.
01:33:31
Speaker 21: Two songs.
01:33:34
Speaker 6: Can you rename something for us, Mark? What are you renaming? We've had the Lake of Ontario, now the Lake of America overnight. Donald Trump's made the change. Anything you'd like to rename?
01:33:45
Speaker 19: Well, I think– I'm not a Crows fan, but if they win this week, it'll be Adelaide-Crowville.
01:33:50
Speaker 6: Crowville.
01:33:51
Speaker 2: Yeah.
01:33:51
Speaker 6: What for the– yeah, for the Oval.
01:33:54
Speaker 19: Just for the weekend, obviously.
01:33:55
Speaker 6: Just for the weekend.
01:33:56
Speaker 7: Just for the weekend.
01:33:56
Speaker 26: I don't mind that.
01:33:57
Speaker 6: That should be the equivalent of the painting of the chimney at Sandville level, AFL level. If you win the Premiership, the next year the Oval gets named after your team. I think that'd be good. So, you know– Port have to play at the Crowville, or vice versa. Adelaide have to play at Power Park or something or other.
01:34:13
Speaker 11: Yeah.
01:34:14
Speaker 6: Do influencers influence you, Mark? They've been hired at your, at taxpayers' expense to promote the MotoGP?
01:34:23
Speaker 19: Not really, no. I think if you're wanting to pay somebody to influence your decision on something, I think the world's a very sad place.
01:34:31
Speaker 6: Thank you, mate. It clearly works for some people. But a lot of young people with buying products or makeup and things. Clothing and makeup, yeah. Clothing. It seems to work. Does it work for motorsport? Well, I guess we're about to find out. We'll see. Thank you, Mark. Andrew and Seton, good morning.
01:34:46
Speaker 23: Good morning.
01:34:46
Speaker 10: How are you going?
01:34:47
Speaker 6: Good, Andrew. Did you watch the Legends game last night?
01:34:50
Speaker 23: No, but I watched a.
01:34:51
Speaker 10: Few snippets of it, and I listened to a bit of the pregame as well.
01:34:54
Speaker 32: Yeah.
01:34:55
Speaker 6: Okay. Apparently some of the legends got around all right. Buddy Franklin.
01:34:59
Speaker 10: I think Bev's probably doing it a bit tough this morning. I think he had a bit of injury.
01:35:04
Speaker 7: I thought Husey, the landlord, did pretty well.
01:35:06
Speaker 6: The landlord. Our man, the landlord, Husey. Kicked a late one. Yes. You fear they lost. He was going to blow the elbow.
01:35:13
Speaker 10: He needed to get something back from last year.
01:35:16
Speaker 6: Well, Husey almost died last year, didn't he? That was shocking. If you were to busk, Andrew, what would be your busking talents?
01:35:25
Speaker 10: Oh, gee. Talking mindless crap.
01:35:29
Speaker 6: You should be in radio.
01:35:30
Speaker 7: Yeah, join the club, Andrew.
01:35:34
Speaker 6: You've come to the right place. Are cars too loud in your area, Andrew? The City Council are having a look at cameras that can detect sound.
01:35:44
Speaker 10: I'm aware of the technology they're talking about, but where we are, generally, no.
01:35:48
Speaker 6: All good at sea?
01:35:49
Speaker 10: We're pretty lucky.
01:35:51
Speaker 25: Well, yeah, near there.
01:35:52
Speaker 6: We spoke about the Robot Olympics earlier this week. It's provided a lot of fun online videos. If you could design a robot to do something for you, what would it be?
01:36:00
Speaker 10: Oh, gee, that's a difficult one. All the mindless chores around the house. And I realise that's what a lot of things are designed for. I'm looking at my robot back right now. I'm talking to you. But things like that. And I'm talking about, you know, fixing something that's broken primarily.
01:36:21
Speaker 7: Oh, how good would that be?
01:36:22
Speaker 6: Oh, a handy robot.
01:36:23
Speaker 7: Just a fix-it robot.
01:36:24
Speaker 10: Hire a hubby robot style.
01:36:25
Speaker 6: Hubby robot.
01:36:27
Speaker 2: That's great.
01:36:28
Speaker 6: That's a great idea, Andrew. That's a billion-dollar idea sitting right there if someone can do it.
01:36:32
Speaker 7: Husbands better be careful, though.
01:36:33
Speaker 6: Yeah.
01:36:34
Speaker 7: If we can hire a hubby.
01:36:37
Speaker 6: Game over, Phil. Maybe this is why this hasn't happened yet.
01:36:41
Speaker 7: Putting you all out of business.
01:36:42
Speaker 6: Exactly right. People know. Smarter people than us. Just cancel the hubby robot. Mark, Andrew, and it was Reno. Reno.
01:36:53
Speaker 7: Well done, everyone.
01:36:54
Speaker 6: Smegtoaster, the three-day pass to Airtouch 500 at the bend, and the Colac 50 at La Voucher.
01:36:59
Speaker 7: All right. Reno and his wife, Michelle, can go to the Colac.
01:37:02
Speaker 6: Nice.
01:37:03
Speaker 18: Nice.
01:37:03
Speaker 7: Go to Elliot's. That sounds great.
01:37:05
Speaker 8: Mark can go to the Airtouch, and Andrew can get a nice new Smegtoaster.
01:37:09
Speaker 6: Magnificent work all. It's 11 to 9. We're going to check traffic and count down the top five moments of the week next.
01:37:14
Speaker 5: Knock down, build two with Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes, they do it all for you.
01:37:22
Speaker 4: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee.
01:37:24
Speaker 1: This is 5AA Breakfast.
01:37:30
Speaker 6: 7 to 7, it's time to award our meat tray this morning. It was a lot of fun, especially at 6 o'clock this morning. It was nice thinking about people's favourite times of year because they all obviously had to do with good weather, but they also were about changing, being able to sleep in more or being able to get out and do things on the weekend or have a long weekend. Someone's going to enjoy a meat tray. Thanks to the wonderful people at Chanel's, Liam Jonah and the team, My Local Butcher, 62 Prospect Road at Prospect. Who's got the meat tray?
01:37:55
Speaker 7: Well, I've actually picked someone who.
01:37:57
Speaker 8: whose reasoning was not related to weather at all, sorry, Chris and Vale Park.
01:38:01
Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
01:38:02
Speaker 8: Celebrates June 23 each year because she had a heart attack and celebrates it with a glass of champagne to say thank you to her husband who found her and all the workers at the Royal Adelaide and emergency service staff.
01:38:14
Speaker 6: Happy to bend the rules for a nice story like Chris's. Chris, you've got the meat tray coming your way. Thanks to the great people at Chanel's.
01:38:20
Speaker 4: It's been the top five of the week.
01:38:24
Speaker 6: All right, number five. Morning to you, Debbie.
01:38:27
Speaker 16: Good morning, the two of you.
01:38:28
Speaker 23: I'm very excited this morning.
01:38:31
Speaker 25: I've just woken up.
01:38:31
Speaker 23: It was my birthday yesterday, and I've got a rain gauge.
01:38:35
Speaker 2: You know, a rain gauge. Yes.
01:38:37
Speaker 6: You worried us for a second there, Debbie. Rain gauge. Yeah, we were very concerned. You just never know. Number four.
01:38:44
Speaker 8: Okay, so Molly's born in the middle of winter. I think most people would think of their kids. So that's not my favourite day because I don't like the weather.
01:38:50
Speaker 6: Yeah, I could have picked a month later. I chose SNFL grand final day. Let's park the kids.
01:38:55
Speaker 7: Stuff the kids. They get enough days.
01:38:56
Speaker 6: Yeah.
01:38:58
Speaker 8: Our anniversary is March 6th, which also happens to be Murray's birthday. So can I say my dog's birthday and not my daughter's birthday?
01:39:07
Speaker 6: I see. You picked a day that's special to everyone in the family except your firstborn child.
01:39:12
Speaker 1: Except my only child.
01:39:14
Speaker 6: Mum guilts for your entry for Metro Friday. That's fine. Sound like a beautiful day of the year. Number three. Port Adelaide Football Club chairman, compare the market economic director. Lots to talk about this morning. Koshy, good morning to you.
01:39:29
Speaker 28: Good morning, team.
01:39:30
Speaker 2: Stacey, singing really isn't your lane, I don't think.
01:39:35
Speaker 9: Thanks, Koshy.
01:39:37
Speaker 6: Well, we'll learn a little bit more about that picture a little bit later today. Koshy, appreciate your time.
01:39:41
Speaker 7: Thanks, Koshy. I'll stop singing now. They will never throw us apart.
01:39:49
Speaker 26: I'm just as bad.
01:39:51
Speaker 6: Yeah. What did you sing?
01:39:53
Speaker 25: Jolene.
01:39:53
Speaker 6: You sang Jolene. That was a nice tribute. And then Koshy Dry never tear us apart. No, he's not going to be a singer either.
01:40:00
Speaker 7: Was it a nice tribute?
01:40:01
Speaker 6: As it turns out.
01:40:01
Speaker 7: A tribute of sorts.
01:40:02
Speaker 6: It was a tribute. Number two.
01:40:04
Speaker 18: And the security cards coming out, and literally I bumped into Dolly Parton in about 86, 87.
01:40:10
Speaker 16: No way.
01:40:11
Speaker 4: Oh, wow.
01:40:12
Speaker 18: Yes, yes way.
01:40:13
Speaker 28: It's still with me now after 40 years.
01:40:16
Speaker 18: She was amazing. She was renowned for two things, and singing was one of them, and the other one I'll let you guess.
01:40:22
Speaker 6: Did you have a conversation with her, Ian?
01:40:24
Speaker 4: Is this Albo on the phone?
01:40:25
Speaker 6: She's small, Ian.
01:40:26
Speaker 7: Could you have knocked her, almost knocked her over?
01:40:29
Speaker 18: She was small and big in other parts.
01:40:31
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, we get it. She clearly made an impression.
01:40:34
Speaker 7: Still don't know what he was talking about, though.
01:40:37
Speaker 6: No, he's a master of subtlety. Number two spot there, a chance meeting with Dolly Parton, which was almost a fatal one for her because what was being carried almost careered into her as part of that story. The number one spot.
01:40:52
Speaker 4: The top seven before seven.
01:40:54
Speaker 6: It's by Fountains of Wine, Stacey's mum. It's the top seven before seven songs with women's names in the title.
01:41:00
Speaker 7: My mum's favourite song.
01:41:02
Speaker 31: Vienna waits for you.
01:41:07
Speaker 6: What's the title? Vienna.
01:41:11
Speaker 4: What?
01:41:12
Speaker 6: Woman's name? No. Ned McHenry's being blamed for Vienna Gate, by the way.
01:41:16
Speaker 8: I'd just like to let everyone know that when I said to Pat, give me a woman called Vienna, he said, I can't.
01:41:30
Speaker 6: Barbara O'Reilly. Yes.
01:41:32
Speaker 7: What's the name of the song?
01:41:33
Speaker 6: Barbara O'Reilly.
01:41:35
Speaker 7: What's the woman's name?
01:41:38
Speaker 6: Bubba.
01:41:39
Speaker 20: What?
01:41:41
Speaker 7: I'm so confused.
01:41:46
Speaker 6: Not sure how that top seven before seven went. Just joined us. You've already missed the highlight of the morning, our top seven before seven. The recriminations are still coming in. Good luck getting through on 8223 0000. Phone lines are full. Paddy and Jess are out there just batting away complaints and criticisms. Hey Jude was written about Julian Lennon. Barbara O'Reilly, it took Jess the entire news break to find a single woman with the name Barbara.
01:42:11
Speaker 7: And wasn't she a psychic from the 1800s?
01:42:13
Speaker 14: Yep.
01:42:13
Speaker 17: Okay.
01:42:16
Speaker 6: It was the top seven before seven earlier in the week that almost ended the top seven before seven as a segment.
01:42:21
Speaker 21: Still.
01:42:21
Speaker 6: The most, nice to know, the most complained about segment we've had this year. So, you know, when anyone asks that, it will be easy to have it on hand.
01:42:30
Speaker 7: Yeah, we know what it is.
01:42:30
Speaker 6: A worthy number one spot of the week. And nice for Jess and Patty to have reflected and put it as number one too.
01:42:36
Speaker 7: It was worse hearing it second time around.
01:42:38
Speaker 6: Yeah, it didn't get better. Let's have a look at the fuel situation. You'd better be a member with RA8 Road Service. The cheap spots this morning, the United Old Norlunga, Main South Road, is currently sitting at $ 1.
01:42:48
Speaker 8: 93. 5.
01:42:48
Speaker 6: And the cheapest diesel, the Mobile Hampstead Gardens, North East Road, $ 2.
01:42:55
Speaker 14: 38. 5.
01:42:55
Speaker 6: Enjoy the weekend. Enjoy the weather and the sun. Get out and do something. Have a wonderful time. We'll catch you Monday morning from 6 o'clock.
01:43:11
Speaker 1: But all I heard was a drone bouncing off a satellite, crushing.
01:43:18
Speaker 4: The last lone American.
01:43:20
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, we're getting there.
01:43:21
Speaker 20: Yeah, we get it.
01:43:21
Speaker 4: This is radio nowhere.
01:43:25
Speaker 34: Is there any.
