FIVEAA Afternoons with Stacey Lee - 5 February 2026

00:00:00
Speaker 1: And a very big good afternoon to you. Happy Thursday. It's the fifth of February and I'm Stacey with you through until four o'clock. It has been a big afternoon of breaking news here at five Double A and where you are as well as you just heard Kendall say, there has been an update from sa Police into the disappearance of Gus Lamont and Sapole has now declared that a major crime. There is a live update happening right now with Detective Superintendent Darren Filke, and he says that there have been over twenty days of searches taking place on that property and at least eight separate searches. Ninety four square kilometers have been searched on foot by hundreds of personnel including Saypole staff and non Saypole resources sees, Army, indigenous trackers, you name it. They've thrown resources at it. They have searched the dams twice. There are two significant dams on that property and a super Detective Superintendent Darren Fielke says they've been searched twice. They've also been drained and police are confident that Gus is not in the dams and all of those reasons are why they have now declared the disappearance of Gus Lamont a major crime. As I say that press conference is still taking place on Sturt Street at Police headquarters, so when we get updates we will bring them live to you. So stay tuned to your radio this afternoon. And the other breaking news that's taken place today has come out of WA. Perth Police as well as the AFP and the state government in Perth have announced that an attempted bombing of an Invasion Day rally in Perth has now been declared a terrorist attack. Here is the West Australian Premier Roger Cook making the announcement a short time ago.
00:01:54
Speaker 2: I can confirm today the WA Joint Counter Terrorism Team comprising WA Police, the Australian Federal Police and ASIO have determined the incident last Monday in Perth should be charged as a terrorist act. As a result, a thirty one year old man has been charged with one count of gage engaging in a terrorist act. This charge, which has been laid by the Joint Task Force, alleges the attack on Aboriginal people and other peaceful protesters was motivated by hateful racist ideology. This is the first time this charge has been laid in Western Australia.
00:02:40
Speaker 1: The first time a terror charge has been laid in Western Australia. Now, interestingly we heard from the head of the AFP, Commissioner Chrissy Barrett, who has said that this has been handled quickly and without delay. Here she is explaining the terrorist charges.
00:03:00
Speaker 3: It will be.
00:03:01
Speaker 4: Alleged the man removed a homemade improvised explosive device from his bag and threw it at a rally held in support of First Nations people in Perth, CBD on twenty sixth January twenty twenty six. The man, who remains in custody was charged by the WA Joint counter Terrorism Team with one count of engage in terrorist act contrary to Section one oh one point one of the Commonwealth Criminal Code. That offense carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment. The man is expected to appear next in Perth Magistrate's Court on seventeen February when the Commonwealth terrorism charge will be heard alongside the state charges that relate to this matter.
00:03:42
Speaker 1: So that's Commissioner of the Federal Police, Chrisy Barrett there. They say that this attack was on Aboriginal people. The alleged attack rather was on Aboriginal people and other peaceful protesters, and it was motivated by hateful racist ideology, which is one of the reasons why it has now been declared a terror attack. Interesting to hear the commissioner of the Federal Police there say this has been handled quickly and without delay. As we know, this took place on Australia Day as a week and a half ago, and now it's been declared a terrorist attack. They did give reasoning for that, and they've said that there is a certain threshold that needs to be reached for something like this to be considered an act or alleged act of terrorism. So they have been undertaking investigations into what happened in Perth on Australia Day a week and a half ago, and have now been able to deem that it was an alleged terrorist attack. What do you think eight double two to three double oh is the number to call? Is a week and a half enough time to work that out. I think a lot of people had been suggesting before this that it should be considered terrorism. We will try and we will try and get some more information on this. As I say, throughout the afternoon, but that is the the breaking news today, so just repeating. WA Police and the state government in WA, as well as the Australian Federal Police have now deemed an attempt to bomb an Invasion Day rally as a terrorist attack. It took place in WA on January twenty six and the local breaking news. South Australia Police are still talking right now down on Sturt Street at police headquarters and they have declared the disappearance of Gus Lamont a major crime. They have said that the search for Gus that's been undertaken by Essay Police has been the largest ever that the police have had to undertake and it has now been declared a major crime. They now have a few different avenues where they can take their investigation, including the fact that considering the fact that Gus has walked off from the station, that he was abducted or that someone known to him was involved in his disappearance and suspected death. As I say that press conference is still happening, we will bring you the latest as it happens this afternoon. Stay listening. Eight double two to three, double doublelow is the number to call all you can text zero double four eight zero eight thirteen ninety five. We have lots of other matters to talk about here on the afternoon's program. Throughout the day we will be crossing to murray Bridge, where the state government has been The Premier has handed down a suite of election promises for the murray Bridge area in the lead up to March twenty one, and it follows the Liberal Party announcing a funding deal there yesterday. Murray Bridge it's the center of Adelaide and well center of South Australia today. They're getting money from all parties at the moment. So we'll see what the Mayor, Wayne Thawley thinks about all of that. Is he happy with the commitments. I'm sure he's happy for the attention for he and others in the murray Bridge area. What do you think murray Bridge needs? Maybe you live there, I'd love to know your thoughts. Eight double two to three, double doublelow is the number. You'll also hear from Ronda Birchmore. She is coming to Adelaide very soon. She is going to be a part of Anastasia, the Broadway musical, so I'm very excited to talk to her. And speaking of entertainment news, it's a Thursday, so you'll hear from Shane A. Bassett who has some movie and TV show recommendations. But first, at thirteen minutes past one, there was a story that I was reading in the Advertiser this morning which really concerned me and I'm sure it concerned you. One in ten Ozzie teenagers has shown signs of nicotine dependence. This is following a health poll. And joining you now is doctor Anthea Rhodes, the director of the National Child Health Poll. Good afternoon, doctor Rhodes.
00:07:44
Speaker 3: Good afternoon, Stacey.
00:07:46
Speaker 1: Oh, thanks for your time. I'm sure you were just as concerned as I was to hear this news.
00:07:51
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:07:51
Speaker 3: Absolutely, So. There's quite a lot of data of various sources around youth of different nicotine products, particularly aditionally tobacco bos, cigarettes and then more recently E cigarettes and vaping, and then in this study we also included other products like oral nicotine pouches. But this is one of the first studies that really looks at rates of dependence or what people might know as addictions in teenagers, and it was pretty concerning to us.
00:08:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's the key difference here is I was talking to my colleague Graham goodings about this earlier. A lot of us as teenagers have tried certain things and you try it and you say, oh no, not for me. I don't want to do that again. But there's a difference between trying a vape and then you know, trying nicotine in whatever form it is, and then being dependent on it.
00:08:41
Speaker 3: That's right. And so the types of things that indicated dependence in this study, the questions that we asked young people age between twelve and seventeen, where things like whether they're looking for some sort of nicotine source first thing in the morning when they wake up, but they have difficulty getting through a day or regular activities without a hit of nicotine, whether that's from a vape and regular cigarette or other forms. Whether they've tried before to cut back or quit and had difficulty, And whether they're experiencing any of the physical symptoms that we know can be connected with that sort of withdrawal. So that includes things like agitation, difficulties with mood regulation, difficulties with sleep. So young people who actually responded indicating they had experienced one or more of these things were considered to have signs of dependence.
00:09:32
Speaker 1: Right, Okay, And you know, we've both mentioned vapes, is that the general consensus that that's how young people are becoming dependent through vapes as opposed to cigarettes.
00:09:45
Speaker 3: Well, any source of nicotine can create dependency. What we know from this study and other research is that e cigarettes or vapes are the most common type of products that are currently used in that age group. That teenage age group followed reasonably closely in this study by traditional cigarettes, which are making something of a comeback unfortunately, and I think having e cigarettes been so successful at penetrating that use market, and we know they are a gateway products in that unch. Young people are using e cigarettes, they are more likely to then try to traditional cigarettes as well. And then we had about one in twenty young people have actually tried nicotine pouches. So they're the small, little, kind of like a tiny tea bag looking product that has a permiable fabric on the outside. Nicotine inside is placed between the lip and the gums, usually on the top part of the mouth, and then nicotine is absorbed through the lining of the gums directly into the bloodstream effectively in that way. So young people are using all different sources and in fact, among those regularly using over a third used more than one type of nicotine product, and you know your question as too, is it vaping particularly, you know, the driving dependence. What we do know is that these products are often containing much higher doses of nicotine than a traditional cigarette. So people may have heard that it's common for one sort of vape pod or a dose of kind of vape products to contain about the equivalent of an entire packet of cigarettes, so sort of twenty times the nicotine dose. So having that really high dose is one of the factors that drives that addiction more quickly. And then having so many different types of products means that young people can actually use these things in all different settings, so you know, in the classroom or on public transport to and from school, at home, in you know, the bedroom, in the bathroom, even in the living room. And it's not necessarily obvious. A lot of the vape products now have low or no vapor, and things like oral pouches or nicotine gummies obviously can be used you know, pretty discrete. And so what that means is young people who are developing dependents have ways to keep getting that hit regularly, and that makes it much harder for them to give up.
00:12:08
Speaker 1: Wow, I'd actually never heard of nicotine pouches, the ones you were describing on the gums. I mean sounds that you wouldn't really not that I'm not that I'm condoning any of this, but you know, sometimes when you when you're young, you do things that seem cool, and I guess that's why sometimes people smoke or will try a vape. I don't know what you get from having a pouch in your gum. That's just sounds pointless to me.
00:12:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, experimentation, you're right, like it's a totally normal part of adolescence. Like we expect teenagers to try all sorts of things. You know, many of us will reflect on that ourselves. I've got two teenagers in my family, so it's not so much, you know, a surprise that kids are trying things. What really struck us in this study was just how many young people are regularly users, and of those, how many do have signs of dependence and all, so how often they told us they would like to quit or cut back. So that was more than half of young people using nicotine, so suggesting they really have identified Oh you know, maybe this is a bit of a problem for me, it's not really what I want to be happening. That feeling like they're already on that pathway or that cycle that's really hard to break.
00:13:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got a text here from Sue in Christie's Beach, which is another aspect of this that we underestimate. I think I gave up smoking in nineteen ninety eight, at age thirty eight. I'd started at ten, when they were less than fifty cents a pack. The my quit app estimates my savings of one point three million dollars.
00:13:40
Speaker 3: Amazing, well done, well done, We're quitting. And you know that story is so typical in that the beginnings of that addiction, which you know spanned like three decades, nearly there was in childhood or early adolescents. So what we know is that the brain is still very much developing right up to twenty five really, but particularly in those early teen years, and it's much easier for it to be rewired, if you like, for those pathways of addiction to form. If nicotine exposure is happening in younger teenagers and children, and what that means for companies, big tobacco companies is, you know, if they're targeting young people which they absolutely are. With vaping products, things like oral pouches. They're pleasant flavors, you know, they're really easy to conceal and hide from other people and adults. They get young people using early, they're much more likely to have a customer for life. So these strategies are really deliberate. And the sort of story that we've just heard from your call of there is also common where this starts so young, and it's sets up patterns that are very very hard to break but can be done. As she's told us, Yeah that's really great.
00:14:53
Speaker 1: Yeah it is well done. Soon and you touched on it there. But I can't help but think that the recent it's not too recent, but the fact that you can get vapes so easily. I've heard of kids just going on social media and messaging one person and then they get it delivered to school even and they get a vape that's a flavor, you know, strawberry, watermelon, whatever it is, bubblegum, and so it maybe doesn't taste or feel like it's bad for you. I remember back in the day, if you'd try a cigarette at a park or something, everyone would choke on it afterwards. Yuck. You can really feel it, but it seems like with a bubblegum vape you're not having the same effect.
00:15:34
Speaker 3: That's right, And so a lot of those barriers that were there for traditional smoking, so that might have been just that it was harder to get hold of things potentially, although as we heard from Siou there was still you know, someone to give you a cigarette even back in the day kind of thing, but access was not like it is now through online communication processes where young people can connect with feelers through a black market process online and access these protus really easily. But also they're easier to hide. You know, you don't have to kind of have the smell that you've got to get rid of somehow. You don't have to physically hide in a place where people can't see you when you're using some of these products. And as you say, the flavor or the actual experience is quite different, and often it really has been altered in a way that it's almost kind of lolly like or food related, and all of those things take away the barriers and make the product more appealing, particularly the young people.
00:16:33
Speaker 1: And what do you think the impact of I guess the rest of society has on kids. You can't walk down a street without seeing, you know, a puff of smoke going from someone's hand. This person on the text line says, I've noticed in so many Netflix shows characters are smoking, whereas previously on freeedoware smoking was mostly removed when viewing characters in stories. It's subconscious advertising. Do you think that has an impact on your people?
00:17:01
Speaker 3: We know it has an impact, and you know your call is absolutely right there. So what we see there is this process of normalization of behavior. So you know, it's actually not that long ago that not the one who had really ever seen vaping, and the type of reaction we had to it was like, oh wow, what is that? You know, what's that device, what's that cloud? What are they doing? But just in a matter of a few short years, really it's become normalized. We're like, oh, they're vaping. And it sort of creeps in through a lot of different ways, and particularly through things like television, through other media channels and social media, through influencers, sometimes through sporting identities. There's lots of very clever ways that product placement is created through Big tobacco in order to actually normalize people to these products. And then the next step beyond that is to you know, promote them and make them appealing and cool in some way. But having these things back in the regular day to day and cigarette smoking absolutely has returned in that way, is definitely making a difference to how teenagers view it and whether or not they are going to be likely to try something themselves.
00:18:13
Speaker 1: So did your study look at how we can try and reduce this dependence of teenagers on nicotine? Is there any ideas for the government on how they can try and prevent it?
00:18:24
Speaker 3: Well, I think the solution is always going to be very complex and big tobacco are always on the front foot. So whilst lots of things are being done, we're a long way from winning this battle and it's just becoming more and more complicated. There are things that came through in our study that gives them hope really to people at an individual level. So the fact that more than half of young people want to cut back or quit, many of them said they weren't sure where to go for help. And really interestingly, among those young people using regularly, almost half of them their parents didn't know that that was happening. So we had some young people in the study say yes, I'm using mif your team, I'd like to cut back, And then we asked their parents, and their parents said, oh, no, my child's never tried this. So there are lots of opportunities even you know, immediately available to people in your home, have a conversation and try and understand where your young person is at. It's very likely that they might have tried something. And frequently parents come in with, oh, you must never do this. And if you're a teenager seeing there thinking oh, I'm already doing this and it's a problem, there's a big bridge there that they have to cross before they can feel like they can get help from you. So really encouraging parents to start with a just non judgmental chat. Well, wow, it seems to be gosh, there's people back on TV smoking. You know, we haven't seen that for a long time. It feels like smoking is coming back. Is this something you see at school? Is this something that people you know are trying? Is this something that you might have tried. That's sort of, you know, gently getting down towards what's actually happening for you a young person. I heard on the radio today about oral nicotine pouches. Never heard of them, Do you know what they are. Have you seen them? And anyone at your school got these Having those sorts of conversations just so you start to open the door that will potentially lead to an opportunity for your young person to study. Oh, actually this is a problem for me. And then there are a lot of resources out there. Quitline, you know, is probably the one we know best and that's a really great place to start. Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne. We've got some really great resources on our website as well. We've also got some good social media content which can be really handy to share with a young person to kind of get the conversation started. So lots of things that can be done at home, but of course the advocacy and regulations are really where the big solutions need to be.
00:20:44
Speaker 1: Well, some great tips there. Really appreciate your time and your insights, doctor Rhodes, thank you.
00:20:49
Speaker 3: My pleasure, thanks for having me on the show.
00:20:51
Speaker 1: Dr Anthea Rhodes there, director of the National Child Health Poll. Eight double two to three, double O double OW is the number to call to have your say. Helen on the text line says if the government were really serious about smoking, they would put patches on the PBS. Hmm, there you go. That's a good idea. I often think sometimes regulating vapes. I know that they've been they're not legal, but sometimes I think if they were legal and they were regulated so you weren't allowed to make them in the flavors, then it might lead to fewer people buying them on the black market. But I don't know. Eight double two to three double double OW is the number to call. It's time for the one thirty news headlines now and then we'll bring you the latest from the police press conference in regards to Gus Lamont who went missing from Oak Damn Station last year.
00:21:43
Speaker 6: Five Double A Afternoons with Stacy.
00:21:46
Speaker 1: Lee at twenty five minutes to two. Here on five double A, just repeating that breaking news that you heard from Kendall and we've been discussing it this afternoon. Police have given an update on Gus Lamont, who went missing from Oak Park station last year, and they have said that their investigations are ongoing, but they've now deemed it a major crime. Here is Detective Superintendent Darren Filke speaking at SA Police headquarters a short time ago about suspects.
00:22:18
Speaker 7: So from the time that Gus missing, the family members have been cooperating with police and providing information that has assisted with establishing the movements of Gus around the time that he went missing. A detailed review of all of that information has been conducted by Task Force Horizon members. As a result of that, we've identified a number of inconsistencies and discrepancies with that information as it relates to timelines and the versions of events provided to us by the family members. As a result of these inconsistencies and investigations into them, a person who resides at Oak Park Station has withdrawn their support for the police and is no longer cooperating with us. On the fourteenth and fifteenth of January this year, Task Force Arizon investigators attended at Oak Park Station and executed a search warrant. A further comprehensive forensic search was conducted of the Oak Park Station homestead and a number of items were seized, including a vehicle, a motorcycle, and some electronic devices. All of these items are now subject to forensic testing. The person who has withdrawn their cooperation is now considered a suspect in the disappearance of Gus. I do want to stress, however, that Guss's parents are not suspects in his disappearance.
00:23:52
Speaker 1: So there you go. One person has withdrawn support and they are now a suspect, but police ates there to stress that Guss's parents are not suspects. This is from Oak Park Station last year, the remote station. It's in the state's mid north and it was really I guess there was so much interest in this case because it was bizarre. How can a small child just go missing without a trace on a property like that, Detective Superintendent Darren Filke said earlier. Ninety four square kilometers have been searched over at least eight separate searches which have spanned twenty days of searching, and they've been searched by hundreds of personnel, one hundred and sixty three SAYPOLE members, two hundred and thirty non SAPOLE members, which includes the SEES, the Army, Indigenous trackers. There are two dams on the property. They've been searched twice. They've both been drained and searched to rule those out. There are a number of structures and buildings on the property and they've all been searched and ruled out as well, and there is no evidence to suggest that Gus wandered off from the station either, so police giving their update there that this has now been declared a major crime and they are working towards finding out what happened to four year old Gus lamont As. I keep saying, we'll bring you updates throughout the afternoon as they happen, and your thoughts are always welcome. Eight double two to three double O double OW is the number to call, or you can text zero double four eight zero eight thirteen ninety five. But now we are going to change tunes significantly, and I say tunes intentionally because Anastasia, the Broadway musical is coming to town later this year, and Ronda Birchmore is involved. She's the actress who plays Countess Lilly, and she joins you, now, good afternoon, Ronda, thanks for your time.
00:25:53
Speaker 8: Absolute pleasure, Stacey, lovely the chat.
00:25:55
Speaker 1: I really appreciate it because this is so exciting you. You just love it in Adelaide. Lately we can't get enough of you.
00:26:01
Speaker 8: Oh, I adore Adelaide. I mean this is my third big show. I was there for Hairpray and then last year I was there with Sister Axon. Here with Anastasia, I'm coming over, which is Adelaide. Audiences are always so warm and fantastic, so I can't wait for them to see the show and to see the wicked wroonder in this one.
00:26:25
Speaker 1: So you do play the evil character, I'm not avil.
00:26:29
Speaker 8: No, far from evil. She is Countess Lily is the lady in waiting to the Dowager and who was paved by the incredible Nancy Hayes, who was you know, Australian Theodo Royalty, and the Countess Lily apart from being a countess, she knows how to let her hair down with a few vodkas at the at the bar in Paris and get amongst all her expats and it's a wonderful role. It's many of her and she's also has this very wicked affair on the side too, So it's kind of a role that I've never you know, played anything like and absolutely loving it and the audiences are loving it too.
00:27:13
Speaker 9: Yeah.
00:27:14
Speaker 1: It's really interesting because often a lot of the shows that come to Adelaide and get made into theater shows. I know, Anna Stage is not technically a Disney film, but it kind.
00:27:26
Speaker 10: Of feels like.
00:27:29
Speaker 8: It's got all the things, and it was a massive. You know, people know Ana stage because of the incredible animation that was I don't know, well, when my daughter was growing up, it was on kind of.
00:27:41
Speaker 1: In the nineties, Yeah.
00:27:43
Speaker 8: Constant loop. And you know, it's a story of course of the young Roman of one that supposedly escapes, you know, all the Russian Revolution and to find her grandma and to find love and all of those things. And it's a wonderful mystery. But the thing is about it is it's a wonderful production of hope and all those good things that we so much need I think today as well.
00:28:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, And I think it's one that we all know about. I mean I grew up in the nineties, so I remember Anastasia watching the cartoon on the TV. It's such an interesting film, and I think right now it's relevant if you don't know the story to a young girls. She heads from Russia to Paris and she's trying to work out if she's the lost Princess Anastasia, and then of course there's love involved and all of that along the way.
00:28:44
Speaker 8: And the wonderful thing that has screened, I mean, this production is so beautiful, Stacey. I mean, the costumes, I mean, I've been in the business for many decades, but the costumes and the production of this.
00:28:56
Speaker 11: Is just so beautiful.
00:29:00
Speaker 8: It's a beautiful show to be part of. And I kind of sit there in awe of you know, the sets and the dancing. There's like a ballet kind of sworn Lake ish type of excerpt, and it's just and the and the lead Georgina Hobson who's playing Anastasia. Her voice is you know, just extraordinary, and as is the other leads and and.
00:29:25
Speaker 11: All of the ensemble.
00:29:26
Speaker 8: It's it's it's just a beautiful show.
00:29:28
Speaker 1: It sounds like it and it seems like you will get along really well. I was doing some social media research before before our chat today and seeing some of the behind the scenes stuff. It seems like you've got a really good crew.
00:29:42
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's and it's so important Stacey, you know, to have that wonderful camaraderie and and and lovely affection and caring within the company, and this one. I mean, there's there's certainly shows that I've been in the you kind of go, oh my gosh, I can't wait to see the end of them, or because you know whatever, But these kids in this show, I mean, we've got the I think, well, there's the young Anastagias that are played by children. But in terms of the touring company, you know from twenty two and ride up to Nancy who was just celebrated her eighty third birthday. It is a gorgeous company and it's a pleasure to you know, be with them on stage and socially.
00:30:27
Speaker 1: I've got a message from Brenda in Nailsworth here. I remember seeing Ronda for the first time in Mamma Mia the musical in Melbourne. I've been a fan ever since. Brilliant actor. So there you go.
00:30:37
Speaker 8: Ye, well, and my gosh, I just had to it seems like yesterday, but that was two thousand and one, which was what are we twenty five years ago? It's just crazy that that how that time that was the original Mama Via that came to Australia and we actually got it in Australia before Broadway, which was a big scoop and I got to meet Benny Beyond. So yeah, it's wonderful memories of that show. And yeah, yeah, my platform boots in.
00:31:07
Speaker 5: My life.
00:31:09
Speaker 1: And I guess you're your costuming is very different for Anastasia.
00:31:14
Speaker 8: Oh my gosh, yeah, there is no legg Well, there's a glimpse of leg because at first come basically and when I'm in Paris in the nineteen thirties, and it is the most exquisite fabrics from you know, the finest silks and velvets and that wonderful era of you know, the hairstyles, the wigs, everything is first class in terms of how it's been curated for this show. And yeah, I love wearing all of I think I'm born in the wrong era, you know, those glorious gowns with the trains and the yeah, the all the crystals are just beautiful, beautiful.
00:31:53
Speaker 1: Oh well, we're very excited to see it and excited to have you back in town. Ronda. Thank you so much for your time the Savo.
00:31:59
Speaker 8: Thank you so much, Stacy. Yeah, I think it's gonna fit like a glove in that beautiful theater down there. So yeah, can't wait. I'll come and say hello when I'm down in Adelaide.
00:32:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd love that. That'd be great.
00:32:10
Speaker 12: All right.
00:32:11
Speaker 1: See then, bye, thank you so much, Bye bye, Rhonda Birchmore there. She plays Countess Lily in Anastasia, which will be on at the Festival Theater from August this year and tickets go on sale at nine am tomorrow, so make sure you jump on board for that. All right. Well, it's a quarter to two here on five Double A. And as I was saying earlier, it feels like the state election campaign the last couple of days has been centered around murray Bridge. Yesterday the Liberal Party was there announcing some health funding seven million dollars to upgrade the maternity ward at the murray Bridge Soldiers Memorial Hospital. Today the state government has been there announcing gosh, a whole suite of money for murray Bridge. They've announced transport deals in regards to MetroCard more buses, free Footy Express. The Footy Express is going to be extended up to murray Bridge. They've also announced a new renal unit, new maternity ward and a new ambulance crew, a new technical college, new classrooms and a new police station. Wow, there you go. So it sounds like murray Bridge is the place to be. I'm sure my next guest will agree. The Mayor of murray Bridge Council, Wayne Thorley, Hello, Mayor, going, oh good, how are you? You must just feel like the luckiest man in South Australia.
00:33:36
Speaker 13: Oh, probably not quite luckiest, but I certainly think it's going to be a great thing for murray Bridge. It's certainly made us a very competitive political place to invest in, and I think that's fantastic. We're a growth community. We are looking to have our popular or we're not looking. We expect our population to double by twenty fifty. So this is a very major investment which is about setting us ahead of the curve, which is fantestic.
00:34:06
Speaker 1: And you make a good point there because murray Bridge has been identified as one of those hot spots I guess for future housing developments and population growth. So as we as we always talk about when we talk about housing and bringing people into the state and into the country, if you're going to do that, you need to upgrade hospitals, transport schools. So I guess it's a good thing to you that these issues are being addressed well.
00:34:31
Speaker 13: These are fundamental things that our community needs as we grow as a community. Our population is about sixteen percent first generation migrants coming here, many a working in the food industries. We recently when to China, we were boasting that we are the protein capital of South Australia. People here working on some really tough industries and they need those services. They need the opportunity for their children here educated. They need the ability to have their children if they go to university today, to live at home and go to We have age people. We're a regional center. We have people who need to go to ad labor regularly and they need to be able to do it in an affordable way.
00:35:17
Speaker 1: Do you think it's coincidence that you've been getting so much attention? Lord, are we fifty something days out from an election. Do you feel like you've had this much attention over the last four years.
00:35:28
Speaker 13: Well, I don't think I can recall us having this much attention since to Peter Lewis when independent, but that's a long time ago. Look, I think the last election raised the profile of our community that it was changing. Our demographics are changing. Our people are expecting things. They want services, they want to be a more cosmopolitan environment and a regional center, and these are all things we need. And I think it's also that lists the lifestyle opportunities that many of the people who work in education or emergency services. We're a fantastic spot right by the river, less than an hour to Adelaide. You say, yeah, you can do all the things you can need to do in a very affordable way. We're probably some of the most affordable housing land in South Australia. So it's all great and I think it's all good stuff.
00:36:27
Speaker 1: So what else do you want? Well, while they're listening, will both parties have your attention? What else do you need?
00:36:34
Speaker 4: Look?
00:36:35
Speaker 13: I think were this is very appreciative of what's being proposed to us by both the Male and Oursist government, and there earn opposition. But we know as we grow there'll be other things coming along in that pipeline of things which we will need to look at. You, we can see that the diversifying our economy too into tourism as well with a very useful thing. We can see there's some synergies relating to our like the ben Motorsport party as a Manado Safari park and also the Dark Sky in Murray. We see all these things having a great opportunity there, plus the food and wine in our Lady Hills. So I think we can see there's need that we needed more work on seeing such as that infrastructure. We can always have things there to do. We're very keen to ensure that the high product is break bypass is going to work very strongly in our favor because it will mean it will connect some of our our planned employment zones to that break system and that's fantastic.
00:37:44
Speaker 1: All right, Well, we'll have to see. As I say, there's still fifty something days to go until the elections, so maybe this isn't the last you've seen of commitments.
00:37:52
Speaker 13: Well, I guess we all love watching a poker game, don't we. And I guess and a biting more. You know, been a plenty of farm options in the past, and it's the man that doesn't blink the most always win. So I think we're looking here and we're excited to see where it all ends up. I think I think along as the murray Bridge the residents of murrow Bridge, you'll winner, I'll be supporting it.
00:38:19
Speaker 1: Well, it feels like they're definitely winners at the moment. Mayor, thank you for your time this afternoon. See you, Mayor of murray Bridge Council. There, Wayne Thorley. Eight double two to three double O double OW is the number to call, or you can text zero double four eight zero eight thirteen ninety five. This person says what about water and food as well. Yeah, there are other things that you have to consider when building more houses and expanding, especially in that urban growth area. If you're moving out of the city urban sprawl, definitely need to consider water.
00:38:52
Speaker 13: Food.
00:38:53
Speaker 1: Is food a big issue, I know, especially in an area like murray Bridge. As you just heard from the mayor. They've got that covered. I think Protein Capital of Australia also getting lots of texts from you about the disappearance of Gus. Lamont Kay says Gus's disappearance sadly is like William Tyrell all over again. I know, Okay, I thought the same thing when I heard the news last year. It's just so sad that this is happening. It feels like again Mahi said. It was us from the beginning, very sad for little Gus. Thank you for your text Andrew, I reckon most of us had our suspicions of foul play with poor little Guss. A child can't just go missing without a trace when allegedly playing out the front and under the supervision of relatives. Thank you for your text messages. Keep them coming. Eight double two to three double double OW is the number to call. I also have a text here from Andrew. We were talking earlier about the news out of Perth that the incident that took place on Australia Day, an attempted bombing of an Invasion Day rally of Aboriginal and other protesters, has now been deemed a terror incident motivated by hateful racist ideology. Andrew says, you'd reckon it would have been deemed a terrorist attack when it happened. You'd have to wonder why it took so long to establish that. I couldn't agree more, Andrew, It's been a week and a half. I would think anyone who was seen to be throwing any sort of homemade device at a group of people who are there for a reason. I mean there were all protesters there for an Invasion Day rally, so they're there for a reason. It sounds pretty obvious to us that that could or should or be should be looked into as an act of terrorism. But why has it taken a week and a half. Well after two o'clock we'll try and answer that. Peter Maroney will join you. He's a former senior investigator of terrorism in New South Wales in the Investigation Squad, so he's got insight into all of the He was one of those people making those decisions and investigating matters like this. So I want to ask him why has it taken so long to deem this a terrorist attack? What is the threshold that needs to be met for an incident to be considered a terrorist attack, and what other investigations would be taking place. Now we know from WA Police that the thirty one year old man who's been charged has been in custody and now the fences against him have been upgraded to one count of engaging in a terrorist attack and it's been laid by the Joint Task for so that there's three different bodies looking into this, the WA Police and Federal Police as well. So we'll talk about that again after two o'clock because this is a really interesting case. And then after two thirty it is a Thursday, so Shane ay Bassett is going to join you. There's so much happening in the entertainment world at the moment. Wuthering Heights is released today. I think the Australian premiere is tonight. Shirley Shane got a ticket. He's the who's who in the entertainment world. I'll have to ask him if he's going along. Is he going on the red carpet. We'll see. We'll see Dan in Woodville. The suggestion that Guss wandered off alone, that's interesting because police did address this in their press conference. Detective Superintendent Darren Filke was talking about the idea of their potentially being someone else or another vehicle in the vicinity of the property.
00:42:31
Speaker 7: Both the driveways bypass other neighboring properties. You have to drive past other stations to get to Oak Park. The roads are not a thoroughfare, and as I've said, if you're driving on those roads, you're there for a reason. There were no vehicles foreign to the area at Oak Park Station that have been identified by either the property owners themselves or the neighboring properties time that Guss went missing. We know that if there is a vehicle that is sighted anywhere in the vicinity of Oak Park Station, I'm saying anywhere kilometers away from Oak Park Station, there is normally dust in the air that will tell you that a vehicle is either arriving or leaving that area. No dust, no sighting of any vehicles at the time that Gus went missing. There's been no foreign tracks located, arriving or leaving the property. The timing of being in the area when Gus was playing outside would need to be impeccable. If Gus has been abducted, is absolutely fortundus. There is no pattern of Gus playing outside at Oak Park Station, So for someone to start to get a dossia together on movement and time of the day, etc. Is we are very confident, is very very unlikely.
00:44:09
Speaker 1: Detective Superintendent Darren Filkey. They're giving an update on Gus Lamont's disappearance. Will bring you more updates throughout the afternoon as they happen. But now it's time for the two o'clock News five.
00:44:23
Speaker 6: A Afternoons with Stacey Lee.
00:44:26
Speaker 1: Welcome to the second hour of the afternoon's program. What a day it's been. We've had lots of breaking news. We'll keep reminding you of that press conference from SA Police where they have now declared the disappearance of Gus Lamont of his family's Oak Park station last year. On September twenty seven, a major crime Police giving an update saying that a family member has withdrawn support for the investigation and is no longer cooperating. That family member is now considered a suspect, and Guss's parents are not suspects. Police have been at pains to stress that fact as well as I say, we'll continue to update you throughout the afternoon, and we'll speak to a journalist who was there at the press conference after three o'clock. But the other breaking news we've been talking about is out of Wa Police and they have now declared the attempted bombing of an Invasion Day rally crowd on January twenty six as a terrorist act. Peter Moroni is a former senior investigator of the Terrorism Investigation Squad in New South Wales Police, and he joins you, now, good afternoon, Peter, Thanks so much for your time on this. I'm I'm really interested to get your insights because the first thing I thought, and so many of our listeners this afternoon sending text messages in thought, was why has it taken a week and a half for this to be declared a terrorism incident?
00:45:57
Speaker 12: Yeah, that's a reasonably fair question. The main reason when police make reference to a terrorism incident, they're obviously going to make reference to the legislative definition and there's a number of things that they must aim to prove within that legislative definition before they can entitle it or title it my apologies to be actually terrorism. So that's what they would have been doing, is trying to ascertain a link the person's alleged actions, particularly too, whether or not it was done to advance and what is needed is either a political, religious, or ideological cause. And i'd suggest that they've been waiting for a fair swag of evidence. I'd suggest trying to understand if there is that link. Clearly they've established that now and that's what they've gone on and alleged.
00:46:41
Speaker 1: Right, yes, so they've now deemed it hateful, racist and pro white ideology. But over the last week or so, they would have had to have been investigating whether or not it was an attack based on a specific cause or yeah, I don't know, random.
00:47:00
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's concerning, you know, in this aspect. And I'm sure there's some scholars out there or correct me, but I don't believe it looks into down. In two thousand and one, there's approximate one hundred and fifty people that have been charged with terrorism related manners in Australia. The predominant number of those are Islamic based terrorism. But this if the police allegations are right in terms of what they're alleging is here is an individual who has deliberately thrown that device into the crowd, the device full of ball bearings and other things that if that was to explode, would have I would imagine cause death, if not some severe injury. But the real alarming point here is he's done it on the basis of them being Aboriginal Australians and that's why he's allegedly committed this act that in this country I don't think has been seen before, certainly not charged under a terrorism that I am aware of.
00:47:55
Speaker 1: H And we heard from WA Police and the Commissioner of WA Police spoke at that press conference earlier and they've said since that attack, they've seen a big uptick in hate speech towards Aboriginal people and towards other vulnerable people in the community in this country. And he called on leaders, including himself, to watch what they say and how they say it. Our speech matters, is the quote. Our ability to bring our communities together matters. Talking to people face to face matters. And it's sad to say, but it does seem the case that when we see such a high profile. Incident like this, you can see that dangerous behavior and those dangerous words towards I guess in this case Aboriginal communities intensify.
00:48:46
Speaker 12: Yeah, look, he absolutely spot on, you know, in terms of you know, I'm not saying that the Karrentak certainly is not right wing. I'm not going to label that. I'll leave that to the experts. But in terms of while I was talking before Stacey, where traditionally were you used to deal with Islamic terrorism or based terrorism? But we have seen a rise on the right wing, particularly over the last four or five years, and even Asia put out information that you know, approximately thirty to forty percent of their activities now is concentrating on that right wing factor. But certainly, you know, the leaders of the group of this country, of the vast organizations that lead the way I have now got to be very conscious on what they say and what they do. And we're seeing that firsthand, aren't we. In terms of the Royal Commission that's been asked on the back of Bondai and may I equally say that the Aboriginal community of Australia, as is any other community in this country, has a right to protest and I for one thing, what's been done and what's been allegedly done towards them is just upon it. It's it's absolutely disgusting in this day and age.
00:49:50
Speaker 1: Hmmm. You wouldn't expect that at any protest for any cause. It doesn't matter what side, left, right, center, race based not race based, gen it doesn't matter what protest you're at. You don't deserve to be protesting safely on the streets of your country and have something like that happen.
00:50:07
Speaker 12: Oh absolutely, and well put you know, and that's the fundamental point of Australia, isn't it. That's the right we get the joy, we get to protest some of it. Sometimes they don't like it for all the various reasons. But no, absolutely not. It does not condein violence. It doesn't need violence, and it's just a sad indictment. I think of just where we are presently.
00:50:27
Speaker 1: And so take me behind the scenes as a former senior investigator in this space, to be able to prove or you know, allege so far that this is an act of terrorism. You mentioned that the police would have to prove that it was based on ideology or hate. How do you do that when how do you get in someone's mind, How do you get in someone's brain to try and prove that the reason they did it was race based or whatever, for whatever reason they did it.
00:50:57
Speaker 12: Yeah, no, it's a very reasonable question if we look at and I'll talk generally, if we look at the terrorism the sense that the gentleman's been charged with he carries life's imprisonment. So there's a couple of main factors that they've got to look at. The first couple of factors one would claim are reasonably easy to show that is his actions. He's seen on footage lobbing a device that devices would cover. That device contains certain things that if that was to explode, I would think it'll be reasonable interpret then injury or significant injury would have come. The real kicker around it is going to be, as Ha said, how do we demonstrate that he threw it for this purpose, for this reasons. So there'll be a number of factors that the police would look for, not aimly in this crime, but in many others of similar nature. And for example, they would definitely be reviewing, say any computer forensics that may there, and what they might be looking for are things around what has he researched. Has he, for example, researched how to make this device? Has he got a search history around Indigenous Australia, or heat speech around Indigenous Austrains, or having certain views around Indigenous Australians. And they'd be looking to understand and try to through the physical actions as opposed to his mental thoughts in terms of you know what exists physically? Is there that physical evidence? Is a documented evidence? Is are email evidence? Is their phone evidence, sms is, et cetera that demonstrate his view or his intent, as we probably may see him on the back of some major terrest incidents as a manifesto. Now, certainly, from my understanding, the police aren't saying that exists in these circumstances, but there may be, and it's all speculation at this point in time, that there may be some writings that would then help them cement what his views were on that particular day.
00:52:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, we do often see that. I remember that in the case in New Zealand a few years ago, and that was released online for everyone to see, which was even more damaging when it's made public. Would you agree with that?
00:52:57
Speaker 12: Yeah, Look, it doesn't look if we had a common let's say you know, fifteen years ago and you said to me, you know, and again the true circumstances a current case will come out. So I'll put that to the site on the right. And if we just talk solely about what we call lone wolf terrorist attacks, you know, we really didn't have those conversations fifteen twenty years ago, particularly when I was within the terrorism squad. It's on the rise. Why is on the rise? Technology, access to information, material, like minded views get shared a lot quicker. All of those ingredients certainly come together. And by putting out I've done a lot of work with schools over the last two years around trying to prevent and prepare for active arm defenders in Australia, and a whole lot of that goes out and goes towards trying to understand these triggers and what goes on and looking at kids that are researching these manifestos as preparation strategies towards their pathway to violence. So when those things are out there excess by young impressionable boys predominantly but also girls, it does, to your absolute point, create problems for us ongoing.
00:54:10
Speaker 1: Just on I guess your last point there predominantly boys. Do we have any information as to why that might be?
00:54:19
Speaker 12: Not off the top of my head, so to speak. I've been involved, and to give a bit of background with that comment, I've been involved about the last two years with various schools in New South Wales researching and getting an understanding around the phenomena of the school shooting that predominately obviously gets played out in the US. So a lot of that research does go towards, particularly the early research towards the young adolescent males, but there has been a rise of females that have been participating in such incidents. I'm sure there'd be a number of psychiatrists psychologists out there far more educated than I am in that space that could help you there. But the true nature of why the rising boys look that probably goes back to a lot of things around that male psyching and the upbringing, etc.
00:55:06
Speaker 1: And maybe support and conversations we often talk about, you know, the stereotypes and generalizations that are made about young girls and that you're allowed to have emotions and feelings and boys have to be strong and not talk about emotions. So if you are feeling concerned or negative about a particular aspect of your life. It might not be something you talk about as a male as much as you would a female. Potentially, I don't know. I'm no expert either, but.
00:55:35
Speaker 12: I would totally agree. You know, we've seen a rise in what we call the menisphere at the moment, and there are sort of men's based groups that go online and role in this type of conduct and behavior and revel in it and cheer it. But certainly, and I've certainly seen a rise with the skills we're working with here in terms of young boys turning to that type of thing. But you're right, that preventitive approach, getting ahead of it, getting them and getting them having conversations, tough conversations, and getting them involved with understanding, although things certainly become a paramount.
00:56:06
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Yeah, for sure. Oh it's been really interesting to chat this afternoon, Peter. Thank you for your time, Oh my pleasure.
00:56:14
Speaker 5: Take care you too.
00:56:15
Speaker 1: It's Peter Morony, a former investigator of the Terrorism Investigation Squad in New South Wales Police. And yeah, some really concerning news coming out of WA. At least we now finally have that announcement from police, the AFP and the WA Police. The state government there that the attempted bombing of the Invasion Day rally in Perth on January twenty six was a terrorist act. Nineteen minutes past two here on five Double A After two thirty. It's a lot happening in the entertainment world as well. Shane A. Bassett is going to join you Wuthering Heights. Margo Robbie is the main actress in that one. I'm so excited to hear what Shane thinks of it. Although I'm not sure it's been released yet, I think the premier is tonight. No doubt he'll be there on the red carpet. I know there's a lot of listeners though interested in Bridgeton and Season four. Is it released or it is due to be released very soon, So we'll see what Shane thinks of that as well.
00:57:15
Speaker 6: Five Double A Afternoons with Stacy.
00:57:18
Speaker 1: Lee twenty three minutes past two here on five Double A. Look, it's been a heavy afternoon so far. Lots of breaking news and it's not too positive either, the breaking news that we've had. So I saw this story on my Facebook page and I thought, why not share this feel good story. Jenny's Bakery is well known in Adelaide. I think they've got three locations now. One is in one's on Glen Osmond Road in Parkside. I think it's around the park Side area. The other one is in Keswick and I think they've just opened up a third venue as well. Well. They have posted asking for help to identify. They've said, does this sound like your nonna? They received a voice message from someone and they want to find out who it is. They called on a private number and they think it sounds like someone's nonor so have a listen and see if you can help them identify who this person is. A beautiful job.
00:58:23
Speaker 14: Thank you for everything you granda, bring lot of stuff from you, and.
00:58:30
Speaker 15: Thank you so much.
00:58:32
Speaker 1: I know you's bye, So there you go, they said. They received that voicemail. She the woman on the phone, just wanted to express how grateful she is for the work they're doing. Her granddaughter brings her lots of their stuff and she just wants to let them know that she's grateful for what they do. I love it. I just think it's such a beautiful, feel good story. They said it made their day and they want to try and identify who it is. Now. There's so many comments on the Facebook post, people trying to identify who it is, some people saying is it a non na or is it a year Ya? Is it the Italian version or the Greek version? Who knows? But if it sounds like someone you know, get in touch with Jenny's Bakery because she absolutely made their day. I just love it. If you've got some other happy news to share with us, go on ring us up, tell us all about it. Eight double two to three double double O is the number to call, or you can send me a text zero double four eight zero eight thirteen ninety five. As well as all the news that's been happening here in Adelaide and in Canbra and in Wa, there has been a lot happening in Canberra as well. There was suggestion last night Pauline Hansen had sort of thrown out an offer to the Nationals, offering to become a coalition of sorts. The Nationals have responded today, So we'll head to Canberra and see what's going on. And although there have been talks between the Libs and the Nats about potentially reuniting their former coalition, it doesn't seem like that's going to happen anytime soon. The Liberal Party has now moved to remove Nationals MPs from parliamentary committees and they have not reacted well. This is something we'll continue to talk about this afternoon too. But as I say, eight, double two to three, Double O, double O is the number to call to have your say on anything we're discussing on the afternoon's program. Now it's time for the two thirty news and then I'll fill you in on any new movies and TV shows that you might be interested in watching. And I like your suggestions as well. What are you watching right now? I need something new at the moment.
01:00:38
Speaker 6: Five Double A Afternoons with Stacy.
01:00:42
Speaker 1: Lee twenty nine minutes to three. Here on five double A. Morgan Pumper is at the Bureau of Meteorology. Hello Morgan, Hey, you going good?
01:00:52
Speaker 14: How are you?
01:00:53
Speaker 1: It would just feel like I can just wear the same outfit every day all week.
01:01:00
Speaker 16: M Yes, and that's absolutely correct. So we've still got this easterly airflow east southeasterly. But look we're still sitting around that around the thirty degrees so while we get through the upcoming days. Definitely correct in the fact that you can pretty much pop on the same thing each day, probably into Saturday a bit cooler and definitely enough time in the shade, but otherwise really just seeing a high pressure ridge bringing us settled weather conditions over the upcoming days.
01:01:28
Speaker 1: Okay, so what temperatures can we expect heading into the weekend and is there any rain?
01:01:34
Speaker 16: Look, at the moment, we still might see an extra couple of degrees from today, but otherwise into tomorrow fifteen or thirty three before we see the thirty five degrees on the Saturdays. So while we do still see a bit of wind over the upcoming days with those southeasteries up to the thirty kilometers per hour, we will see the change after Sunday coming through and bringing us a little bit of cooler air, so instead of the mid thirties back to around the low thirties. So unfortunately, at the moment, seems like if we do see showers, maybe the Wednesday, but I keep seeing the forecast kind of shift it a day later, a day later, a day later, So not too much moisture at the moment. But we'll see whether or not we get something. With the ten percent chance on Tuesday and then the thirty percent chance on Wednesday.
01:02:18
Speaker 1: All right, and with those rather small chances of rain, any is there much in.
01:02:23
Speaker 8: It or no?
01:02:26
Speaker 16: Look, it might be across the north of the state, so we might see something coming down from the northern territory. But otherwise, really in regards to that shower activity, at the moment, seems like there's not much in it. But we'll just see whether or not we do get that little bit of cloud overhead. Maybe we've got some other times where on Sunday we've got the twenty percent chance as well. So look at the moment, with those changes, there's a possibility, but it's only possibly up to a millimeter or so.
01:02:53
Speaker 1: Oh okay, well, any even get to the roots of the garden.
01:02:59
Speaker 16: Yeah, no, I've really just got another dry spell unfortunately.
01:03:03
Speaker 1: All right, Well, thanks for the update, Morgan, No worry. Morgan Pumper there at the Bureau of Meteorology.
01:03:22
Speaker 6: Movies and Entertainments with Shane A. Bassett.
01:03:27
Speaker 1: He is the movie analyst and joins you now, Hello, Shane, how are.
01:03:31
Speaker 11: You, hey, Stace, how I'm doing very well? Thanks and good afternoon everyone.
01:03:36
Speaker 1: Good good. I was really saddened at the start of the week and we were talking about this and sharing our memories of Catherine O'Hara. To hear of her death over the weekend, you must have been just as upset.
01:03:49
Speaker 11: Yeah, I certainly didn't expect that news, and it was definitely a shock, especially because I only recently watched The Studio late last year, which was a terrific show that she was part of, and one loss of awards already, and she's seen him so much amazing stuff. And I haven't even watched Ship's Creek. I know that's a very popular show, but I don't do a lot of TV comedy and it's escaped me that I know how popular it was. Movie too, I did like her a lot.
01:04:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, did you have a favorite movie?
01:04:20
Speaker 11: It's hard because everyone might say Home Alone, and I kind of bring that up every year. So Lovely is the mom home Alone? Of course, and that tribute that Macaulay Coulkin did for her her passing equaled what she did for him, only you know months earlier on the Star that she got on the he got on the Walk of Fame, and it's like she said, he said that she was his second mom. So I thought that was great and I always stay home Alone. But she did another Christmas movie called Surviving Christmas, which which was a big flop at the cinema, but I actually think it's funny with Ben Affleck, James Gandalfini that she was the mumm in that one. She wanted search that one out of his work for look, it's not spoken about much. She had a small role in After Hours in their mid eighties and Martinscore Safety film. She had a very little role in that, but it was unhinged and extremely funny in that, so check out After Hours if you haven't seen it already. And Best in Show as well, which was like a mockumentary about a dog show, is very very funny movie. One of the most funniest, hilarious milk movies I've ever remember seeing in a similar and the whole audience were in tears. She played a very doting mam of a dog that was in Best in Show, you know, one of the best dogs in the world, So that's worth watching too. And Beetlejuice, of course.
01:05:43
Speaker 17: She was in that.
01:05:44
Speaker 1: Sounds like I have to watch Best in Show. I haven't seen that one.
01:05:48
Speaker 11: Oh, if you love dogs, watch it. She said, dogs and their owners basically, and what the extremes that they go to to put him in these shows. It was made in two thousand, released in two hours, and by Christopher Guest, who did quite a lot of those documentary style films that that one was definitely one of his best ones. An all star cast, Parker POSEI, Eugene Levy, whole heap of people that are in that movie worth watching.
01:06:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, all right, I'll have to put it on the list for this weekend because I reckon there'll be a few people watching Catherine O'Hara films this week.
01:06:22
Speaker 11: It was so well loved too, all the tributes and everything that people had for her, And actually at one of the dog shows in the US, they put up a big tribute for her on the screen movie I just spoke about. Was it really did the actual industry of dog own who's loved it as well? So yeah, it was a beautiful tribute from everyone that. Yeah, I haven't seen shits crect, but I know that's popular as well.
01:06:49
Speaker 1: You have to You've got to watch it. It's so cool. Yeah, and it's but now, what were there five or six seasons? That's a big commitment now, although they are just short episodes, which I really liked because you know that. I think the twenty five minute episodes. So if you're not quite at bedtime and you just think, oh, I've got time for a short little show, and you don't want to put a whole you don't want to commit to fifty minutes of a TV show, then.
01:07:14
Speaker 11: I've seen plenty of clips in the past because it kept on winning Emmy Awards, it kept on winning Golden Globes for many years in a row, so they'd always show clips, and then you see clips online. And comedy, and as you probably know, is one of the most strictest genres I always rate. So it takes a lot to make me laugh. Make to say, not that I don't have a sense of humor, that comedies I do are more critical than I am with other films and TV shows.
01:07:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, fair enough. It's so subjective as well, that's it.
01:07:45
Speaker 11: Yeah, something that makes people laugh won't make the next person laugh, and I'm totally aware of that.
01:07:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right, Well, I'm not sure any of the movies or TV shows that we're talking about today will make us laugh. Start with Shelter Jason Statham. He's not known for his comedic acting.
01:08:05
Speaker 11: He has done a pretty good comedy with Melissa McCarthy and Rose Byrne. Actually that was called Spy and it was a stand up of buy movies, which is really he's really quite funny. He keeps up, you know, with the comic timing with both of them. Oh good, that's worth a look. And one of his very first movies was Lockstock Into Smoking Barrels, which was a crime British crime comedy.
01:08:29
Speaker 1: Oh there you go, I stand corrected, is but here's a bit of shelter. We'll play the trailers. The name Michael Mason, bring any bells.
01:08:41
Speaker 6: Mason isn't just an assassin.
01:08:44
Speaker 7: He's a precision instrument.
01:08:48
Speaker 6: It was one of the first of elite operators. Then what happened.
01:08:58
Speaker 4: Week after week that you've never you be s.
01:09:03
Speaker 8: Most people just say they've ever come up here again, we have a retinal.
01:09:09
Speaker 14: Matt, what's happening?
01:09:16
Speaker 6: Don't make a sound, don't come out into a company.
01:09:21
Speaker 1: That that voice, he's so recognizable. Yes, yeah, and he's.
01:09:26
Speaker 11: Come a long way. I mean, he was an Olympic level diver and he chose instead of going out doing that at the Olympics, he ended up being an actor and he keeps in good shape. He's got a really good sense of humor with a lot of his action films, but he does many of his own stunts as well, which I find quite impressive, and if he doesn't sort of very much from his movies. So his formula, as we just heard, Shelter is this one. He's about a guy who's been undercover. He's just been out of off the grid, out of the limelight for about a decade, trying to hide from these authorities that are after him. He ends up saving this young girl from drowning. He's on an island, actually a remote island in Scotland, so it looks beautiful by the way a photography is good. He saves this little girl and then all of a sudden he gets picked up because he goes onto the mainland and tries to help her in a way which I won't spoil, and he gets picked up by facial recognition, and then all of a sudden, you know, the red flags come up and he starts getting chased and he's got to protect her as well as himself, and there's plenty of good action things. But to my surprise, I liked it, so yeah, I can recommend it if you like that old school action movie style that Van Dam used to do Steven Siegull, you know, So let's alone those guys.
01:10:40
Speaker 1: Mm okay, yeah, that's that's up my alley. So one I might watch. This is out at cinemas, this one, but one that I'm also interested in, The ninety nine year old Man. So this is on HBO Max, the streaming service, a two part documentary on mel Brooks. Here's some of the trailer.
01:11:00
Speaker 6: Why did you become a comedian? Sex?
01:11:04
Speaker 12: The one and only Melbrook I can't imagine making movies without having watched.
01:11:09
Speaker 8: His movies Plazing Saddles.
01:11:12
Speaker 18: Young Frankenstein, Spaceballs.
01:11:15
Speaker 2: I am the writer, the director, the producer in the star.
01:11:18
Speaker 6: That's the actor I asked for a little more money, is the director?
01:11:20
Speaker 2: I said, what are you crazy?
01:11:21
Speaker 6: You stink, I'm not gonna.
01:11:21
Speaker 2: Pay that on money. To a lot of people who went into comedy, they thought that seems like the best job, and the welcome mel Brooks job.
01:11:29
Speaker 1: I'm glad, Nobody Turkey, no one was as good.
01:11:34
Speaker 6: I did a lot of interviews Anthony were just completely fake.
01:11:38
Speaker 8: Do you think people know who you really are?
01:11:40
Speaker 16: No?
01:11:40
Speaker 6: Ritch have a nice hand for Carl Reiner, and mel brook.
01:11:43
Speaker 13: In The two thousand Year Old Man, the greatest kind of routine but two of the greatest comics.
01:11:48
Speaker 7: What has kept you alive for two thousand years?
01:11:51
Speaker 1: An enormous fear of death? I had to I looked it up before, wondering what it was called The ninety nine year Old Man, because he's ninety nine.
01:12:01
Speaker 11: He is, and he's about to turn one hundred this year. And as we just heard, he's very beloved, and he's quick, he's very quick witted. We've had some good documentaries this year, well recently anyway. The John Candy documentary was quite good. The Chevy Chase one was a little infuriating, unfortunately, even though I did like Chevy Chase in some of his movies, but behind the scenes, I think he wasn't a very well liked guy, a friend to mel Brooks who has just been around for so long. In the two part documentary focuses to start with on his Jewish upbringing and the humble start that he had, and how he almost fell into show business and comedy and his friendships that he made, and then into Hollywood Get Smart, the television show Don Adams that one, and then into movies as we heard, Basing Saddles and Young Frankenstein. Most of them, nearly all of them actually are probably too politically incorrect. Now I don't know if they'd get made. And he has that sort of humor but lovely documentary. It really hits all the buttons of emotion as well as laughter. I do recommend it.
01:13:09
Speaker 1: I think so many people would be so interested to hear about the life of mel Brooks, and you know, especially after he was in so many popular movies, Spaceballs, Robin Hood. We used to watch that when I was.
01:13:21
Speaker 11: A kid, Robin Hood. Yeah, yeah, and always these movies were always musical as well. At some point so they break out in the songs that the Producers, which was a movie is you know now Broadway? You know Bonanza. People loved The Producers. He's part of that to Be or Not to Be and a lot of people you find out in the documentary. But he was behind the scenes and got some movies made that nobody else wanted to make, like The Elephant Man, which became an Oscar winner, and also The Fly, the movie with Jeff Goblin, the horror film Jeff Goblin and Geenny Davis, like he got them. He produced them and got them going because nobody wanted to make So he's been very and he's still going. I mean, there's a baseball television series on Disney Plus coming out this year. I think for a movie anyway, a new one. And he did History of the World. He was part of the History of the World Part two because he did History of the World Part one in the eighties, and he did Part two, which was like a sort of a satire that Disney Plus released last year. He's still working and directing and doing his thing at ninety nine years old.
01:14:26
Speaker 1: Wow, it's so impressive. I'm so glad they've made the documentary so we can all you get to know a little bit more about what he's doing and what he has done over the years. I think it'll be great.
01:14:36
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's a really good showcase. And make sure you want to go back and watch some of those movies again, and especially now there's that new Frankenstein that's out with Jacob Alaudie the Australian. You know, young Frankenstein. Maybe that'd be a good alternative the comedy version.
01:14:53
Speaker 1: Love that idea. It's accorded to three here on five double A. Speaking of rewatching old movie movies. Russell, on the text line, agrees with you, Shane. He says, Stacy, you have to watch Best in Show. It's a slightly underground cult type movie and it's hilarious. I generally dislike American comedies, but this one is a cracker and you have to watch and wait for the man with two left feet.
01:15:16
Speaker 11: Yes, that's played by Eugene Levy, and that's the husband of Katherine O'Hara's character.
01:15:22
Speaker 1: There we go.
01:15:23
Speaker 11: They share a lot of things, but he's righted. There's a laugh out loud comedy and such a satire on dog owners, dogs and just what people will do for their for their pets. They trick them like him in Oh Natural. I guess the funny film.
01:15:42
Speaker 1: I know that. I know that all too well. All right, we'll take you. I thought you might, Yes, for sure, we'll take a break and after this we're going to talk about the new season of Bridgeton. And I've heard there's a there's a big event happening in Australia tonight, the premiere of Wuthering Heights. I can't wait to hear about. I'm assuming you're going, Shane.
01:16:04
Speaker 11: I have been invited so yes, we'll be going heading off in a couple of hours.
01:16:08
Speaker 1: Exciting, all right, we'll talk about that as well.
01:16:11
Speaker 6: Five Double A Afternoons with Stacy Lee eleven minutes to three.
01:16:16
Speaker 1: Here on five Double A after three o'clock you will hear from Hannah Ford, seven News crime reporter who was at the press conference with SA Police earlier today where they declared the disappearance of four year old Gus Lamont in September last year a major crime. So we'll get an update from Hannah after three. But first we are talking movies in Entertainment News with Shane A. Bassett and Shane I know we have lots of listeners who are Bridgeton fans, so they must be very excited that season four has been released.
01:16:50
Speaker 11: That makes me very happy that we have fans out there listening because I am one of those as well. And I used to not tell anyone or sort of mention it that often that I like Bridgardon, but it's won me over that much. I just don't mind saying it now. I just I really enjoy it. And I think that's because it's the love of period dramas and melodrama and from England and American and whatever the you know, sort of the historical side of romance. It just gets my attention. And I've read Jane Austen books over and over and so forth, so it's, yeah, it really appeals to me. And this costume drama Bridgeton just seems to get bigger and bigger. I haven't seen any of the new season yet.
01:17:30
Speaker 3: I like it.
01:17:30
Speaker 1: No, I kind of stopped watching after season two. I don't know why. I think maybe I tried to watch season three and I've got a bit lost. I feel like they kept bringing in new aristocrats and this person in this place, and I kind of lost track of who was related to who and married to who and having an affair with who.
01:17:47
Speaker 11: Plenty of aristocrats, I mean, honestly, that's what it's all about. And it doesn't a little bit like the Jason Stasen style of the movie we were talking about earlier. Not that this is an action story at all, but there's the plot, and things don't move in different directions. They stay the same.
01:18:05
Speaker 12: You know.
01:18:06
Speaker 11: They know their audience, so it's always full of romance and tight knit situations and steamy you know, steamy encounters and the corsets and The music in it really appeals to me too, because they have modern songs that are done orchestral. So the soundtrack is great as well, but overall it's I mean, Downtown Abbey is one of my favorites as well, but this is up there as well. I like Bridgiden and they've broken it up this season into what Netflix do into volumes, so you're to get four episodes of this new season, so don't get too excited and maybe do two at a time or one at a time, because the binge them they'll be all over very quickly.
01:18:49
Speaker 1: Oh see, they're starting to do this more and it frustrates me to no end because you can't call it a season if you're only releasing half of it. So you can't say this is in four point one and later in the year will be releasing season four point two. Just separate them into two seasons if you're not going to release them together.
01:19:08
Speaker 11: Very dodgying what Netflik's like to do. They have their ways because what they think is that they know people will just come back and watch it, so they'll break it up. But then when the next season, say Volume two, comes out, they might even get some people that will go back to them and watch the last episode of the volume one so they can catch up. So they're doubling up the viewership. And yeah, they're sneaky. They know people will hang around, and they want people to stay subscribers of their service. So there's tricks they got to go.
01:19:41
Speaker 1: All right, well, here is the trailer. If you're a Bridgeton fan, we.
01:19:45
Speaker 18: Begin another season.
01:19:47
Speaker 6: I should like great gossip.
01:19:48
Speaker 1: The social season might.
01:19:49
Speaker 13: Look at it.
01:19:51
Speaker 2: He must begin the proper way.
01:19:53
Speaker 1: Dearest gentle reader, So the season's most notorious gentlemen, Benedict Bridgeton. He must bow to that most powerful of forces mothers, do something. He must marry. You have not had the right, young lady.
01:20:09
Speaker 14: I am chancing aill ventures.
01:20:11
Speaker 5: And course you're right.
01:20:14
Speaker 1: All the eyes of a tongue will be.
01:20:15
Speaker 4: On us at my masquerade ball.
01:20:19
Speaker 1: Can you imagine how beautiful a ball would be? How horrible it is to be on one's fees all night. They will attend the ball tonight and they will not appreciate any of it. Just once, just have that feeling for one glorious night. All right, there you go. Lots of drama to come.
01:20:37
Speaker 11: Yeah, Nicola Coughlin, I love her. J Andrews is in this the great Julie Andrews in a Princess Diaries and founded music Julie Andrews. So there's a lot to like about Bridgerson. I think it's all right.
01:20:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. And finally, Shane, I guess in a very kind of similar vein Wuthering Heights, have fun at the premiere tonight, what are you wearing? Everyone will ask you on the red carpet.
01:21:01
Speaker 11: Will Whenever I go to these events for work, I usually get make sure I'm dressed nicely, and this on the invitation it does actually say to dress like a cocktail, as if you're going to a cocktail event. So we'll see. I'll just throw on something fairly basic, but I'll look nice. I haven't best on and tie. I will say that I don't know what I'm going to think of the film. I had this feeling there's been so much hype that I'm expecting it to be good and it'll be eventful, I think because they've already I've already heard people say it's a little bit controversial at times, but that makes sense because of the director Emerald Fanell, who made Saltburn and promising young women. Previously, those films were quite shocking at times, but you know, on purpose, and they were good films. So I expecting this to be a great movie, but not like the adaptation that it's from. I don't think it's going to be similar to the original Wathering Heights. I think they might have changed it up a bit. Sign I can tell in the trailer that they've made it different. And Charlie XDX a really good musician and composers. She's done the music, so I think the soundtrack might be good. But once Devil Wears Prada starts coming sooner, I think everyone's forget about Everyone forget about Weathering Heights eventually, because Devil Wears Prada Part two that is just going to take over in another couple of months.
01:22:23
Speaker 1: When is that? When's that being released?
01:22:26
Speaker 12: Easter?
01:22:26
Speaker 11: So I think it's I think it's about April, Yeah, something like that.
01:22:30
Speaker 1: Can't wait. I'm so excited for that. Now, now you've got me all excited.
01:22:35
Speaker 11: Well, it looks good and I think this type is of the you know, purposely for Valentine's Day, Weathering Heights, the well loved property. Margo and Jacob are both doing so much worldwide publicity for it, and they're very close and I think they're playing it up for the cameras, you know, to get people asked. You know, that's just what marketing does. I think again, the movie should be good, but I don't think it's going to be one of those classics.
01:23:04
Speaker 12: Knows.
01:23:04
Speaker 11: Yeah, good be we'll see.
01:23:06
Speaker 1: Well, you can tell us this time next week. I'm looking forward to your review.
01:23:10
Speaker 12: Yep.
01:23:11
Speaker 11: Just check me out on social media too. I'll probably add some photos up there from tonight at some point.
01:23:15
Speaker 1: Oh good, sounds good. We'll do okay, Thanks, Shane, have fun.
01:23:20
Speaker 11: I'm glad I've planted that seed in your brain. Safety about Devil Wears Crowded too. It's not far away.
01:23:26
Speaker 1: No, I can't wait for that now. I appreciate it.
01:23:30
Speaker 11: Everyone here too.
01:23:31
Speaker 1: That's Shane A. Bassett, the movie analyst. Time for the three o'clock news now, Actually we might just have. We've got time for a little traffic update because Shane and Greenacres has called in. Hello, Shane, here you.

As I always say, you're out there, let us know what's happening near you, if you come across a car accident, if you see something and you think it's worth us letting our listeners know. Eight, double two three, double O double oh is the number to call. My lines are always open to you. Time for the three o'clock news, now five.
01:24:54
Speaker 6: Double A Afternoons with Stacey Lee.
01:24:57
Speaker 1: Good afternoon, and welcome to the third and five hour of the afternoon's program. I'm Stacy with you through until four o'clock. Rowe and Timmy jeron with the Sports show after four. But before that, we have so much to talk about. There's been a lot happening in Camber today. Talks of a potential coalition forming and not the coalition reforming, a new coalition one nation in the Nationals. What's happening with that? And it also seems like more bad blood between the Liberal Party and the Nationals, so we'll talk about that too. Plus the government looking into changing the CGT capital gains tax when an investment property is sold. What do you think of this, reducing the discount from fifty percent down to I think it was thirty percent. Would that affect you?
01:25:48
Speaker 5: Eight?
01:25:48
Speaker 1: Double two to three double oh is the number to call. And I've just seen some news which has upset me and I'm sure which will upset many of you. There used to be a bit of a hack to get a free roast chuok from coals. Well they've changed their policies now and they will not be allowing these free roast chook vouchers. I'll fill you in very soon, but it got me thinking about your best roast chicken recipe because last week on Friday in Foody Friday, Chris Jarmer made his sesame cucumber and carrot salad with chicken and he was using a rotisserie chicken to do it. He roasted the chook himself. It wasn't one of the Bachelor's handbags, ones that you get from the supermarket. And I thought it was such a great way of using a roast chook. And then we started thinking about how you use your roast chook. I want your recipes because is it not the most versatile thing you can buy from the supermarket. I think you can use a roast chook in so many different ways. Eight double two to three double O double ow is the number to share your roast chook recipe. Well a cinema's double pass to give away to the best caller today. How do you use your roast chook? Thank you to Scott as well. On the text line, he said last week we were asking why Chris Jarmer was cutting his cherry tomatoes tomatoes. Sorry, I'm all of a sudden in America, cherry tomatoes across so horizontally rather than stem down. Well, last night I made a cherizo, pesto and pasta dish and I cut the cherry tomatoes that way. Wow, it definitely makes a difference. My daughter is a second year apprentice chef and I'll be recommending this hack to her. It's a whole different flavor to the dish. Hard to believe it, but it is. Thank you, Scott. I'll have to give it a go next time I make my chicken salad A la Chris Jarma, what do you use your roast chook for?
01:27:35
Speaker 17: Eight?
01:27:35
Speaker 1: Double two three double o DOUBLEOW is the number to call and we are now on the Complete care live stream, so jump on Facebook or YouTube to say hi. But at ten past three, the big breaking news this afternoon has been the South Australia police press conference that was held not too long ago, declaring the disappearance of four year old Gus Lamont a major crime. Hannah Ford is a reporter with seven News Adelaide and joins you now, good afternoon, Hannah, Good afternoon. I assume you were at the press conference.
01:28:07
Speaker 10: Yes, I was.
01:28:08
Speaker 17: I've been covering this story obviously over the past four months. Discusses disappearance and police have been working on that. One theory and one theory only that this little boy had wanded off from his homestead at Oak Park Station, some way from Adelaide and Youngs, and had simply gotten lost. That was the theory that police are working on, which is why there were so many searches. They've been there eight times now. But in this press conference a huge twist to their theories. They have now been able to discount that theory that they believe that he wonded off and simply got lost on that property. The other theory that they've now discounted is that he was possibly abducted from that property by someone not known to him. That theory has been discounted and now they are focusing on something else. Someone known to him was involved in his death. They have now declared his disappearance and he respected death a major crimes, a major crime, and now say they believe so.
01:29:13
Speaker 1: Play I've played some audio. I'll play it again for those who haven't heard it. Detective Superintendent intend Detective Superintendent Darren Filke speaking about the different family members and the support that they've been getting for their investigation.
01:29:31
Speaker 7: So from the time that Gus went missing, the family members have been cooperating with police and providing information that has assisted with establishing the movements of Gus around the time that he went missing. A detailed review of all that information has been conducted by Task Force Horizon members. As a result of that, we've identified a number of inconsistencies and discrepancies with that information as it relates to timelines and the versions of events provided to us by the family members. As a result of these inconsistencies and investigations into them, a person who resides at Oak Park Station has withdrawn their support for the police and is no longer cooperating with us. On the fourteenth and fifteenth of January this year, Task Force Arizon investigators attended at Oak Park Station and executed a search warrant. A further comprehensive forensic search was conducted of the Oak Park Station homestead and a number of items were seized, including a vehicle, a motorcycle, and some electronic devices. All of these items are now subject to forensic testing. The person who has withdrawn their cooperation is now considered a suspect in the disappearance of Gus. I do want to stress, however, that parents are not suspects in his disappearance.
01:31:05
Speaker 1: So Hannah do we know is there only that one suspect so far?
01:31:11
Speaker 17: Hey, that there is only one. We know that Gouss's parents are not considered to be involved. We know that Gusser's mum or was at the homestead at the time, and that there were two other people at that homestead and only one of them has been declared a suspects. Today, we know that that one person has now hired a lawyer and has decided not to cooperate.
01:31:34
Speaker 1: Dili hmm, Okay, this is a pretty big development. And we've heard about the immense resources that police have used to search that property. You mentioned eight searchers since September twenty seven when Gus went missing. They've they've really it's a huge property, but they've really done absolutely everything to try and do everything they can to find Gus.
01:32:00
Speaker 17: Yet an unfree s vented amount of searching.
01:32:03
Speaker 6: You know.
01:32:03
Speaker 17: They today they told us that there's never been anything might miss in terms of searching for a missing person in South Australia. It's the largest ever. They definitely did not leave any stone turned. They searched the five by bush, They searched a five point seven kilometer radius around that home set and then obviously they had their drone technology as well, which was quite extensive. Today they were able to show us that it picked up even the difference between a red kangaroo and a gray kangaroo, exactly the amount of sheep on that station. If there was any anything that might have been human, remains so so particular, so far, so extensive, and they are so confident that he is not there now. There was also an interesting statistic they mentioned that children going off is that the children missing in that sort of a radius, the five point seven k radius are usually found nine or ninety five percent of the time if their age between four and six. So, and if you think about it, I know you've been a police reporter before, but if you think about how many times you've ever heard of a child wandering off from the homestead and not being found. In the years that I've been working as a crime reporter, I've never heard it. No, So it is so rare and so battling. So this twist today maybe hasn't come as a surprise, no answering how barrily they searched every damn every mind shaft on that property.
01:33:36
Speaker 1: And as you mentioned, it is so remote. Oak Park Station often when you hear of children disappearing or being missing and they are found soon after, and it's because it's in a more metropolitan area. People are looking for them, people are citing them and out searching for them. When police get onto it quickly, and community groups, it's all over Facebook. You know, everyone's out searching looking. This is such a remote area and police did go through that today, that the idea that someone else could have been there, or someone else could have been monitoring Gusts for his timeline or his schedule. Some kids have a schedule where they play outside between two and three. But police did address that as well today, didn't they.
01:34:18
Speaker 17: Yes, they said, you know, there's no pattern of Guff playing outside the front of this home seat at any certain amount of time, so that it would have I believe that that would be very unlikely. So someone do sort of pinpoint that and then target him. Also, it's just a challenging and a unique case in the fact that it is so remote. So when you've got inconsistencies and possible discrepancies in statements and timelines, it takes a little bit longer to unpicked because you don't have sectve, you don't have any witnesses at all, maybe one or two. So that is also challenging for detectives. So it's taken probably a little bit longer than they usually would toge at this point, but not through lack of hard work and not through lack of try.
01:35:05
Speaker 1: So what happens now? Do we have any idea where the investigation goes from here?
01:35:10
Speaker 17: Well, police today said their main focus is now returning Gush to his parents now that they have discounted that Josh and Jeff's appearance discusses are not involved in this. Their main focus is making sure they bring him back to them. They didn't say whether they would search anywhere else yet, They wouldn't disclose that information today, but I'm sure they will. And so they've also made a plea through the public to continue bringing through that had an overwhelming but valuable amount of support from the public. And as we said, there's not much CCTV, there's not a lot of technology that can help them with this because of the remoteness. So anyone who saw anything out there will definitely help police in and getting some closure with this investigation. Then I'm hopefully in a ret let's hope.
01:36:02
Speaker 1: So, Hannah, thank you so much for the update this afternoon. Thank you Hannah Ford, their crime reporter with seven News Adelaide, and you can see her full report tonight on the six o'clock News. Twenty minutes past three here on five Double A Up. Next, have you ever tried to use the Coal's roast chicken hack? They had this voucher process in place where if you went to your local coals and the chicken was not available the roast chok I'm talking about the Bachelor's Handbag and it was not available, you could get a voucher to get a free one next time you went to Coals. Well, surprise, surprise, they've changed that policy and it's no longer available. But it got me thinking about roast chook recipes after we had Chris Jamer on last week with his favorite roast chook recipe. I want to hear from you today. How do you use your roast chook? What's your best recipe for the Bachelor's handbag? Rotisserie chicken eight double two three double o double Oh your calls next, and I've got prizes to give away.
01:37:05
Speaker 6: Five Double A Afternoons with Stacy Lee twenty.
01:37:09
Speaker 1: Three minutes past three here on five double a live on the Complete care live stream complete with a k jump on and say hi, We're on Facebook or YouTube and I'm asking you this afternoon for your roast chuok recipes. When you go to the supermarket and you get the bachelor's handbag, the rotisserie chicken, what do you use it for? Quentin in Old Ronella's called in, Hello, Quintin.
01:37:33
Speaker 5: Get a Stacey.
01:37:34
Speaker 13: I've got my son Harry here, who's got a recipe?
01:37:37
Speaker 5: Ya?
01:37:37
Speaker 1: I'm back hello Harry.
01:37:40
Speaker 12: Hello?
01:37:41
Speaker 1: How do you use your roast? Chuok?
01:37:45
Speaker 5: A roast you by?
01:37:48
Speaker 10: I like to make these some chicken patties.
01:37:51
Speaker 1: Oh that's a great idea.
01:37:55
Speaker 10: So first you get your roast and then get like the rest out and then you just remove the skin and then get the main. Just grind it up until it's like look, it's the singing like yeah small. Then you add like an egg and then mix it to make it thicker. Then you basically am a freeze it. Then once it's frozen, you are up get some flower another egg mixture, and then like breadcrumbs. Then you coat them for an either Christia player, you just put it back in the egg and.
01:38:44
Speaker 1: Oh that sounds delicious. And do you have it on a burger?
01:38:47
Speaker 10: Oh, yes, yeah, then you fry it until it's golden brown.
01:38:55
Speaker 1: And oh, yuh me, that sounds great. Harry. You have to have me over for chicken burgers one night. Yep, yum, chef's kiss lah, I love it. And the best bit of that you take the skin off and I'm assuming you don't use the stuffing from the chicken, so you can just scoff that on the side while your paddies are cooking. That's the best bit. Thanks Harry, appreciate your sharing. Thanks Quintin, thank you, I see you. Oh I love that best roast chook recipe. Dirk has a different hack. He says, shame about the chuck. But another hack I recently learned was the rain check. If a catalog or sale item is sold out, you can ask for a rain check ticket and get it at the sale price anytime later. Pretty great. I had no idea, Dirk. That's really good to know because I only go to the major supermarkets to buy certain items when they're on sale. Yeah, so if you go and it's not on then there's no stock. You just think, oh, I'm not gonna bother. That's really good to know. Thank you for that. Oh, well, maybe you've got another shopping hack. Let us know what it is. Eight double two three double oh is the number to call. I saw a roastchook recipe online. You take the chicken out of the bag and you get one of those pouches of rice that you heat up in the microwave. Heat it up and then empty it into the bag so it absorbs all the chicken juices while that's doing that. While it's doing its thing, you tear off all the chicken from the bones and put it back in the bag, and then you can add whatever else you like to make it, either a stir fry or a salad. So the other week I wanted to make a bit of an Asian inspired salad, so I cut up some spring onions, I shredded some carrot, put some corn in there, and then put some fried shalots on top bit of sweet soy sauce dressing. It was delicious, chef's kiss and so easy. Let us know your roast chuck hacks. Producer Jesse's looking at me. Do you have a hack? Do you have a roast chuck hackaway? Can we all hear you? Yeah? Come in here. He's telling me in my ear, but I'm saying everyone else needs to hear you. There we go, Hello, Hello, I go.
01:41:21
Speaker 9: It's a it's a it's a cheat on the hack. You go straight to a takeaway store, your local takeaway store and at least the one in my town, and they have all the leftover chickens and then they will sort of break them up and a chicken and gravy roll. Oh just can't go. You can get chicken and mayo roll as well, which is pretty good.
01:41:40
Speaker 1: But gravy. You can't beat gravy gravy.
01:41:42
Speaker 9: And the grave ox gravy with it and leave the skin on because actually I work there for a bit sucks and make my own ones up.
01:41:48
Speaker 1: Oh that would be a dangerous job.
01:41:52
Speaker 9: Yeah, I've had some serious concoctions are made in the past. You can dim sim chips and gravy on it and golden gay time, put it in the batter and put it into the fryer.
01:42:05
Speaker 1: Wouldn't doesn't the ice cream or melt?
01:42:07
Speaker 9: No, no, no, not if you leave it in there long enough. I don't know the science behind it. I just was experimenting because but you know, you do it. Buttered fish and they deep for ice cream in a lot of Japanese cult true. Yeah, I wasn't doing it the right way, but I was just literally with the stick on and everything in the butter.
01:42:22
Speaker 1: And then the batter and then into the deep fryer.
01:42:24
Speaker 9: Actually unreal magnums as well, and the chocolate melts, but the ice cream doesn't.
01:42:27
Speaker 4: Wow.
01:42:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've had a deep fried Mars bar before.
01:42:31
Speaker 9: We sold those as well.
01:42:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're very dangerous. Really need to stick quick to indulge it.
01:42:36
Speaker 4: Yeah.
01:42:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh good though. Oh yum, love that. Jess, Thank you, thank you. Get get back on the phones now. Give jessicall eight double two to three double O double oh is the number to share your roast chook recipes. But after these three thirty news headlines, we are heading to Canberra to find out. It feels like there's there's more mess happening in Canberra. We'll try and sift through it next five.
01:43:00
Speaker 6: Afternoons with Stacey Lee twenty seven minutes to four here on five double A.
01:43:06
Speaker 1: It has been a very big afternoon of news here and we've tried to bring you the latest on everything that's been happening, especially in regards to the disappearance of Gus Lamont, the attack, the alleged attack at a Perth invasion Day rally being declared a terror incident. Now also closer to home here in South Australia, you might we've been reporting on the Deep Creek fire, which is currently at an advice level warning. The Country Fire Service are now in day five of their efforts down there at the Deep Creek National Park on the Flurio Peninsula. They say fire activity is remaining erratic today and they're still worried about the terrain and coastal winds causing the fire to change directions and spread into hard to access areas. It remains more than three thousand, four hundred hectares in size, so we will of course keep you updated as we get them from the CFS. They do have updates for members of the community earlier on today, so they had one at the Delamere General Store and one at the Cape Jervis Tavern. So if you're in the area and the fire is affecting you, make sure you stay in touch with the CFS website because they'll they'll have further updates for you and potentially further community meetings where you can get more localized information to help with your planning ahead of this. Well, while it's happening, let's head to Camber now, because it feels like there's not a day that goes on where there's not more drama in Canberra. Let's talk to Zach de Silva about it. Federal Politics Report it with AAP Australian Associated Press. Hello Zach, Oh my goodness. All right. So when I read the headline coalition potential coalition, I immediately thought, oh, Nationals and the Libs back together again, but then read further One Nation in the Nationals. Is this really a goer?
01:45:05
Speaker 6: Yeah?
01:45:05
Speaker 5: Look, it's been a wild couple of weeks here in canber This is the latest development in the ongoing saga of the parties formerly known as the Coalition, the Liberals and the Nationals. Now Pauline Hanson, the leader of One Nation, who is doing exceptionally well in the polls, is outpolling the former coalition parties in terms of vote of popularity, has suggested maybe she'd be willing to team up with the Nationals. Exactly what that looks like is not quite clear at this point. You know that the next election isn't for a couple of years. It's hard to tell whether this is a serious suggestion or it's just her trying to, you know, kind of get her brand out there a bit more and promote herself. You know, she's out there now saying, well, we should be treated as you know, the serious opposition, given we're polling better than the Liberals and the Nationals are. The Nationals are understandably not particularly thrilled by this idea. David little Proud said, look, all of this is hypothetical at this point, and there is a sense among some within the Liberals and Nationals not all. There are some though, who believe that a good chunk of this vote, these people who at the moment are telling polls and surveys and anyone who listened people out in the community who are saying I would vote for one nation. At the moment, there's a sense within some of these Liberal and National MPs that this is potentially just a short term thing because people are not happy with the ongoing shenanigans within the Lips and that and will that vote will come back to them at the next election. But there are others who believe this is a genuinely existential moment and you talk to pollsters, you know, people from Redbridge who did the latest poll, who go, look, we don't know at this stage whether these people are you know, parking their vote with one Nation as a short term thing because they're that you know that the Liberals and Nationals are trying to work out who they are and what they stand or after their worst election defeat in half a century odd, there's a you know, so some may just be parking at their short term but Redbridge are telling us, you know, their focus groups are saying this is a more fundamental shift towards people who believe one nation should be in power. So that kind of that's the shift that's prompted Paul Enhansen to say, well, you know, we're happy to team up with the Nationals and create a new coalition. That the question I guess is whether that would be still an effective force. And given one Nation has you know, a handful of senators and now one Bowerhouse MP and Barnaby Joyce, is kind of hard to see exactly how that would work at this stage, but potentially we find out more in the lead up to the next election.
01:47:59
Speaker 1: Right because some would say, you know, on the face of it, it might look like the Nationals and One Nation have more in common at the moment than the Nationals and the Liberals.
01:48:11
Speaker 5: Look, it's an interesting proposition, and it would The challenge with any of these declarations are you know, people talk about the Liberal Party being a broad church, and it really is. You've got moderate MPs in the cities and moderates, more moderate senators. Now a lot of the moderate MPs have lost their seats, but that the moderates, who are you know, fairly progressive on some social issues, believe that the party needs to be taken seriously on climate change through to people who are deeply, deeply conservative about all these kinds of issues. And the Nationals kind of in the last couple of years have generally sat on the to the to the right of the Liberals, as they usually do. That they kind of sit between the Liberals and One Nation. I guess the broader question is, you know, do they get that kind of broad support to win an election on a national scale, given they do sit relatively conservative and most liberal governments in the past have been from the center right. They've been from They're still conservative, but they're a little bit more progressive than maybe the policy positions, but the Nationals or one Nation for that natal would have that being said, you know, it would appear. And what the polls are showing is a fairly significant realignment in how politics is done and how people perceive politics and how people potentially vote. You know, in South Australia you've got an election coming up soon and that's going to be really interesting to watch in terms of what the kind of trends are and whether we can apply them to a federal level. So, I mean, there are a lot of unanswered questions here. There's a lot that we really don't know at this stage, a lot of this speculation, but safe to say there's a lot of people in the coalition that are very, very worried at the moment.
01:50:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can understand why. I think. Yeah, like you said, we have an election here in South Australia in fifty something days now on March twenty one. Is anyone in Canberra, the Liberal Party, the Nationals are they worried about that? Are they thinking about it? Or are we too small fry? Do they not care?
01:50:24
Speaker 6: Look?
01:50:24
Speaker 5: To be honest, I haven't asked the question, and it is a good question. Well one I will ask over the next kind of couple of weeks, because I think it's fair to say people in Canberra watch these elections state elections very very closely for a couple of reasons. One because they, you know, their life is politics. But a lot of people here don't have much of a life outside of politics. And you know, elections are our Christmas or our super Bowl. This is you know, exciting.
01:50:52
Speaker 1: It's sad for us, isn't it is?
01:50:55
Speaker 5: It is a little bit, but you know that's what we've chosen to dedicate our lives too. But I think also there are obviously trends that you can extrapolate from and people will you know, people have different views on how much you can extrapolate between a state and a federal election year, and how much does a state result need for a federal election. There to say, people will be watching it closely to see what trends they can draw from that from the South Australian election, the risk is that people take the wrong lessons, or they take lessons that apply at a state level and don't apply at a federal level. Because you know, voters are smart, people can distinguish between state and federal levels of politics. You don't have to look like Queensland, where they overwhelmed in a lot of seats. They elected Labor MPs at a federal election, but they've elected an LMP government at a state level. People distinguished between the two levels of government and so it's you know that the note of caution is not to read too much into it, but yes, people will be watching the South Australian election closely.
01:52:00
Speaker 1: M all right, I wanted to talk to you about the proposed I mean, the idea of changes to capital gains taxes on investment properties. Is this something the government is considering.
01:52:15
Speaker 5: Look, it sounds like it is. It sounds like nothing has been locked in at this stage, and it must be said, all we're really kind of hearing is rumor and scuttle button speculation. There's no, it doesn't sound like there's a concrete proposal at this stage, but it clearly is something that the government is considering in the lead up to the budget in a couple of months time. Capital gains tax has long been one of those things that certain groups believe should be tweaked. There a tax session that have applied. When you sell an investment property, you pay a lower tax rate and there are a lot of advocates who think, well, you know, why are we giving preferential treatment to pop who are investing in property when we've got a housing crisis. There is a broader question about what will it actually achieve, And you talk to most economists arguing, you know, it'll make a more difference to housing supply. It might tink around the edges a little bit, but it's not going to make a huge difference. It probably is a symbolic kind of gesture as well to say to the government say the first home buyers, you know where we've got your back, where we're supporting you rather than you know, taking the side of property investors. Will this happen at this stage anyone's guess. It's clearly under consideration. The government has flags that it wants the next budget to be a big reforming budget. Whether that means changes to capital gains tax or changes to other contentious policy areas. We're going to have to wait and see, and there may well be surprises. Even when Jim Chalmers gives his speech on night. I suspect there will be something. There's normally something in there waiting for us that we didn't expect. Beforehand, but it's safe to say there is kind of a conversation happening at the moment about whether this is a good idea. You put it to people in the government and they refuse to rule it out. They refuse to say, no, we are not looking at capital gains tax. When we put this to Jim Tarma's Katie Gallaher senior and the government and they say, look, you know it's not our focus at the moment, but that leaves the door open, so potentially this to be a change down the track.
01:54:35
Speaker 16: Yeah.
01:54:36
Speaker 1: I feel like when there's a little leak like this and then they don't deny it, it's almost like they're kind of planting the seed out there to see what the reaction is and if it's not too bad, we'll see it in the budget.
01:54:50
Speaker 5: Well, and the thing is, and I'm not saying this is what's happening in this particular case, but governments will often do something that we call kite flying, right. Well, they'll be considering something they're not sure whether they want to proceed with it. They will there will be a strategically placed leap to a media outlet just start a national conversation, and then they will judge based on the public reaction to that, whether this is something they want to continue with. Now I'm not saying that this is what's happening here. It may well be that's just speculation though it's but it's clear that this is under consideration. It will be interesting to see whether the government follows through on it, given how controversial it will be, and we know upset a lot of people who invest in property, but potentially you know, make people have people like the Greens, people like a lot of kind of housing groups who've said that this is a sensible change that should should be done. But it certainly kind of opens a new fights that the government has to have. And Anthony Albanezi is notoriously cautious with big policy changes, so it will be interesting to see where they land on it.
01:55:57
Speaker 1: That's interesting. It's got a name kite flying. I've never heard heard it before, so that's good to know.
01:56:02
Speaker 5: You you send the kite up, you fly it, and you see that I don't get struck down by lightning. I guess I'm torturing the metaphor see if.
01:56:11
Speaker 1: The wind carries it away or I like it. I like it, I'll use it moving forward. Zach, thank you so much, Thank you love it, Talk to you soon. Thanks bye, see you, Zach de Silva There, Federal politics reporter with Australian Associated Press. Eight double two to three, double double oh is the number to call. Maybe you've got some thoughts on the proposed well, they're not really proposed, the idea of a capital gains tax change. Peter in Manapara says, since the Liberals are now left center, not right center, what's the point of voting for them? You might as well vote labor. Ah and this text people want one nation because they've had enough of this way of life and are trying to force some people they are not getting any opportunities to be listened to. Okay, thank you for your text messages. Zero double four eight zero eight thirteen ninety five Keep them coming, five.
01:57:05
Speaker 6: Double A Afternoons with Stacy.
01:57:07
Speaker 1: Lee nine minutes to four Here on five double A and we are live on the Complete care live stream complete with a K And if you're watching on Facebook or YouTube, you'll notice Timmy G's in the studio. Hallo, Timmy, Hello, how are you hello?
01:57:21
Speaker 18: Good to see got a big show tonight. We're going to be talking to the Tasmanian Devil CEO Brendan Gal because they've been given the all clear to build a stadium. It's happening, make it happen, and it's going to have a roof, So that's going to happen. We're talking about the preparation of that too. You know, there's like a lot to do in a very short time. Well, they start in twenty twenty eight. Oh wow, and we sit here today it's twenty twenty six. I believe some.
01:57:49
Speaker 1: People can't even build a house in that time.
01:57:51
Speaker 18: Yes, So I'm not sure they'll have the stadium ready. I don't think for the first game in twenty eight. We'll speak about that and more things about the preparation.
01:58:00
Speaker 1: Be surely we could accommodate a couple extra here.
01:58:02
Speaker 18: We'll definitely put our hand up absolutely, come and play your own games. Yeh tay, yeah, had that'd be good. We've got we're covering off all the SNFL, so we've got a lot of the coaches coming on. We've got the NORD coach on tonight, Jade Sheedy as well. We're going to be talking thirty six's GMBA basketball, Matt Western. They've had a big week obviously with all the scandal as such, but you know what, they can get on with the business now. They've only got four games ago and finals, which is vital and they're sitting top of the table. So they've got a game tonight against Illawarra Hawk so when that and that sort of just makes it a little bit more secure at the top, which is great. Then we've got an F one driver who had one of the most horrific crashes but survived in nine ninety driving for Lotus, Martin Donnelly, and he's coming on tonight because the Motorsport Festival has got an incredible array of F one drivers coming to town. So anyone sort of I would say fifty plus would know these drivers and a lot of them all drove at Adelaide. Of course mar Donnelly who survived this crash, which when I went and had to look and saw the car, it's like wow, how did he survive that? So it's quite amazing. So his story incredible. But he's going to be here for the Motorsport Festival as well. So yeah, big shop, Oh I love that. Yeah, I'll tell you.
01:59:16
Speaker 1: I'm so interested in the Tazzy Devils, So do they already have like Guernsy sordid colors, do they happen?
01:59:23
Speaker 18: Well, they got state colors which is sort of that green yellow with the red around the map. But I think that they sort of put out a little design, but it was basically their state Guernsey. I think things will change before they actually get out there because it was all a bit rushed. Yeah, called themselves the Tazzy Devils. What will the devil look like? Will it look like the one on Bugs Bunny or will it look you don't want it too scary either because you want kids involved. So just balancing that is important as well, So that marketing side of it is vital. Now they've had a basketball team, they've got the jack Jumpers, and they they've probably won I've already won an MBL championship and they actually got great support early on too. So but when you're talking bus where you're talking maybe five thousand, you're going to need thirty thousand.
02:00:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, So it's.
02:00:12
Speaker 18: A big task they got in front of them, and one that I think will take a lot of work. But Brendan Gale, who was the x CEO of Richmond when they won their three out of four is over there and he's the next Tasmanian. So he's got a lot of passion for the job.
02:00:29
Speaker 1: It's got a lot on his plate. I'm interested to talk about their What did you just call it the mascot, Scott, because a devil seems like it would be easier to portray than a power. Well, you know, we've got thunder.
02:00:44
Speaker 18: Yeah, yeahpower himself yeah, which a lot of people say was modeled on me with the big chin and the mouth guarden. And then thankfully Dean Brogan came to play for.
02:00:56
Speaker 15: Port Adelaide and he took a bit of heat off of me, which is great. But there was actually a written, no this is true story that has ever This is about probably the year two thousand and we've been in the comp about four years and we've released Thunderpowers, the mascot and the like, and they said, has Tim jennever or Thunderpower ever been seen in the same room.
02:01:18
Speaker 18: There is some rumor that there's a thin trail of tinsel going up to the commentary box. I thought that was clever.
02:01:27
Speaker 1: I like that.
02:01:28
Speaker 18: I liked it as well. So have you ever been called a mascot?
02:01:33
Speaker 1: What would your mascot be?
02:01:35
Speaker 15: Exactly?
02:01:36
Speaker 18: What would you be so tasy devil will be. It's a great name, it's so suitable and how they present that and the like, I think it will be great.
02:01:45
Speaker 6: You know they did.
02:01:46
Speaker 18: When they first announced that they are going to be a club in the ANFL, they put out a short period of time, you can be a foundation member for ten dollars. They had two hundred and third twenty thousand people sign up. Oh how's that.
02:02:03
Speaker 1: That's so smart.
02:02:04
Speaker 18: And you've got that database.
02:02:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, all of those email addresses, all those numbers are good. So yeah, and because everyone would have wanted to jump on board, a lot.
02:02:13
Speaker 18: Of people did have our own. Sam Tugwell signed up straight.
02:02:16
Speaker 1: Away ten bucks, he was on board, so trader.
02:02:19
Speaker 18: Yeah, they didn't get my ten.
02:02:23
Speaker 1: No way alright, looking forward to hearing it after four Rowie and Timmy g thank you to everyone for your calls and your texts today. I will speak to you at one o'clock tomorrow
