00:00:13
Speaker 4: It's five double a breakfast deep in Penberthy and Will Goodings.
00:00:20
Speaker 5: Nine after six, Good morning to you, Welcome to Wednesday, and five double a breakfast the seven eighth of June. I hope you like rain, because if you do, you're going to have an excellent day to day. Certainly, and if you are listening to us from the western parts of the state where some of the forecasts are just mind boggling, potential of sixty millimeters of rain in just a couple of hours is what is potentially on the way for the western parts of the state. Adelaide as you've heard ten to thirty millimeters. We'll talk with the weather bureau and get the very latest shortly. It actually is the reason behind a conversation we're going to have this morning about falling trees. Yesterday on the program, we spoke about a car that was crushed. Bit of detail in that story collectible car, and it fell just meters away from a one hundred thousand dollars old relic of a vehicle that was being restored worth one hundred thousand dollars. Thankfully it didn't it didn't collect that in nor the house. But we're gonna talk a bit about trees in focus with tree Tech, essays Paul Mooney this morning. Also on the program the the electoral Commission to Mick Sherry has candidate he is no more. We're gonna chat with Clem MacIntyre about a functioning electoral commission. As a conversation I never thought we're going to need to have in twenty twenty six. Phil When does it get cheat? That's the simple question of a supply chain expert. David Leany this morning with an impending peace in the Middle East, and also on the issue of rain, how to look after your turf, your grass and how do they get Adelaide Oval ready to go for the big clash between the crows and the demons this weekend. We'll be chatting with a man whose responsibility that precisely is Pete Foreman, the Adelaide Oval turf manager. After seven o'clock, David Penworthy.
00:01:56
Speaker 3: Good morning to you, Good morning, well, good morning listeners. Yes, I know that people often make rye comments about the Weather Bureau's predictions. However, today they seem exceedingly confident that there is definitely going to be at the very least a whole stack of rain. The minimum they're predicting for the metropolitan area for the CBD is ten mills. The maximum is twenty five, but as Will said, it's going to be a lot more than that, with the heaviest of the rain going to be traveling through the north and northwestern part of the state. Sixty mills. At the sort of grassroots level, or lack thereof, potentially if all the kids are out there stampeding, I know that in our neck of the woods, they've canceled all the soccer training. No soccer training, no footy training. There's a bit of a cloud literally hanging over Saturday's games as well. They might not go ahead. It's by Saturday, isn't it. Well, no, the problem you mean it's so much damage pieces. Yeah, I don't know. I'm not sure about the game. We're away at Glenelg.
00:03:04
Speaker 5: I remember playing soccer games as a kid on in literal mud where you're good luck finding the grass. It looked like it looked like some sort of weird South American sort of mud wrestling spectacle.
00:03:17
Speaker 3: It's fun, isn't it. Yeah?
00:03:19
Speaker 5: Great, And you'd come off at the end of the game and your boots would be they wouldn't be visible either, Yeah, they'd just be caked with mud and by the time you get to the car to dried.
00:03:28
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, it's terrific. I think it's not rarely out of any concern for the kids. It's more concern for the actual grass because if you did play on it on Saturday, if it's completely waterlogged, that would be bagging for the rest of the season potentially. So you know, it doesn't feel like some sort of.
00:03:47
Speaker 5: Very different problem to have this year than all this last year, isn't it. We got to June last year, we were still having conversations about yeah gee yeah, it was just that nice off the season broke, And this year it's a completely different story.
00:04:02
Speaker 3: It's been very different because it hasn't really been that cold yet. Well, we haven't had too many brutally cold days. Well that that might starting a rain this week.
00:04:11
Speaker 5: There's a there's a cold change that's coming on the back of this rain event today, which means we're not going to get a forecast maximum for the next six days above sixteen forecast maximums Sunday and Monday. Your overnight lows are at seven. That's starting to get serious. That's starting to get seriously cold.
00:04:30
Speaker 3: An attack of the Ellen Jones is there?
00:04:33
Speaker 6: Rob?
00:04:34
Speaker 3: You are a funny guy, a good friend. Rob. You won't say Sarah Gain doesn't have a political party, she has a mood ring.
00:04:42
Speaker 5: So Sarah Games is now a family first MLC.
00:04:46
Speaker 7: Yeah.
00:04:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's been around.
00:04:48
Speaker 5: Does that mean she's been everywhere?
00:04:50
Speaker 3: Man?
00:04:51
Speaker 5: Does that mean Chris McDermott is now the leader of the Sarah Game Fair Go for All Australian's Party.
00:04:55
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think he is the ticket. Yeah, even though he wanted to blame part of it with the chaos that ensued. If we got Sarah Game on on the shower every time she joined a new political party whatever, on every three days, it could be a weekly segment which party Sarah in today?
00:05:14
Speaker 5: Do you think this is officially the end of political parties named after individuals because we Sarah Game's Fair Go for Australian's Party, Jingle better Community both cease to exist at this most recent state election. Well, I don't know about Sarah game. There seems to be some sort of rebel faction within the party named after it that took the reins at some point. But doesn't They don't seem to have a great deal of success at the moment.
00:05:37
Speaker 3: No, they don't sound like prog rock bands to me as well.
00:05:42
Speaker 5: Political organizations better community, fair go for all Australians.
00:05:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, only it's like man for Man's Earth band, Like you know, when it's got the name in it, it sounds, you know, trying to form a musical.
00:05:56
Speaker 5: Group Michael and Roster of has called then what did you? Michael?
00:06:00
Speaker 8: From the top of not Somewhat Road in TURINGI it's very warm, it's shorts and t shirt weather, and you know we're talking about the rain bomb that's coming over from the West coast. It just doesn't feel like it here. But going back to your football story and the weather. Back when I was a little junior in junior football Ashton Football Club, we had a unfortunate game of playing in the snow at Ashtroon Oval. I think it's got the title of being the high in South Australia.
00:06:28
Speaker 3: Is that right?
00:06:29
Speaker 5: See how much snow was? It sort of coming down as you were playing, Michael, or were you literally crunching through it?
00:06:35
Speaker 8: No, it wasn't crunching through it. It was just a soft soft and it didn't land in the stable the ground very well because it was the ground was quite wet. But yes, Ashton, you would be standing at the full back and you couldn't see past center.
00:06:51
Speaker 3: That's extraordinary beautiful.
00:06:53
Speaker 5: It was a little town, Ashton.
00:06:54
Speaker 3: But that is that, isn't it? Michael? Thank you?
00:06:58
Speaker 5: He's wrong about being warm right now? You know, eighteen point three degrees outside at the moment, there's nothing cold eighteen point three. I was outside at the.
00:07:05
Speaker 3: Moment, questioning my commitment to this maroon colored hoodie.
00:07:09
Speaker 5: Who else has played sport or done something in particularly in clement weather. What's something you've done when the weather was really against you? Eight double two three double double textas on zero before eight zero eight thirteen ninety five playing footy in the snow? You know, I don't know, gardening in a hurricane, whatever it might well be. Let us know that something that you've done. We'd love to hear your stories, like the the Ashton snow game. I like this one from Guy and Highgate Morning Lads.
00:07:36
Speaker 3: I have clear memories of having to hose the mud off myself outside after a muddy football match before being allowed inside the house to shower in the laundry not in the main bathroom, and fun memories. We's to do that as well. Yeah, after soccer at primary school and then transferring over to footy. My three storied seasons for marrying high will nine in eighty one, eighty two, eighty three, we're still talking about them.
00:07:59
Speaker 5: Well, is that not for that younger reasons either? Is he the one that beat Mark Woodford? Minute Rubbi, you know who's an underrated tough cohort. And this blot always blows my mind. This is an outdoor sport in Australia. When you drive past the netball courts on a Saturday morning and it's say seven am, it's five point eight degrees outside, it's bucketing down with rain and you're playing on concrete. Bitchamen, you're playing on bitchmen at least on an oval when it's muddy, you fall over your slide, there's give you get filthy. I think it's actually barbaric playing netball at an outdoor court. Yeah, at those times it's just staggers me and there's there's ten thousand people out there.
00:08:45
Speaker 3: Well there always are. Yeah, Like the silliest maneuver in life is to try to go from Greenhill Road to South Terrace on a Saturday morning or you would see all the time. Of course on your side down you think about it was Saturdays. I've had like quick trips to the THEB and dump. So you instead of play out on green Rona no no, no, no, no, don't go down there. It's like it's not being dragged in a in a barrel towards Niagara Falls, that stretch away. But there are so many cars there, keep driving awards, bummings, turn right that James Conglan drive head through the back way to get to the.
00:09:25
Speaker 5: Netball Permuta trine.
00:09:26
Speaker 3: The other thing that makes netball like you know the most hardcore winter sport in Australia is often there's no infrastructure. There's no there's no buildings for the girls to go either, there's no relief. Well they're just standing out there, just them and the them and the almighty.
00:09:45
Speaker 5: I think at every single time I drive past, let's go to Parkside, David, You've got a playing sport in rotten weather story for us Yeah, when I was.
00:09:52
Speaker 9: A young feller and we used to go up upper Hills up to Sterling and that play of Sterling Oval and but if you were waiting for the ball and that's someone that kicked the ball down and you couldn't see it because of all the fog that it was just so it's a horrendous sometime because of the phone.
00:10:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, we used to play against Heathfield High at Marion High and Crike. I used to hate those games. I don't know. Some people are hills people. I've never been a hills person. I get up to the hills and I'm like, why are we happy? What are we doing happy?
00:10:27
Speaker 5: The hills are beautiful and every time I go there, I have a yearning for a fireplace. But I don't have a yearning to be outside.
00:10:34
Speaker 6: No.
00:10:34
Speaker 5: Oh, Emily Brand, who lives at Meadows, is just will. She actually just gave us a double hand gesture. She suggested we are weak. She's casting dispersions on the masculine.
00:10:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's not.
00:10:47
Speaker 5: The only one, rightly, So I like that. Where's Quentin Quentin says walking the streets as a parking inspector and Clement Weather spare of thought for them today. Chalking ties is a challenge. I would think anyone's going to be pouring one out for the chalking challenge of the Parking Inspector. But yeah, there are some outdoor jobs that would be pretty nasty today. Love to hear about them. Maybe it's a job you've done, your experience is in inclement weather, folks up against the elements. That's what we want to hear about this morning. Eight Double two to three, Double O, double.
00:11:15
Speaker 1: O knockdown bill two with Metro Homes, Sell one and move on, keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes, they do it all for you.
00:11:26
Speaker 4: David Penberthy and Will Goodings five Double a breakfast.
00:11:31
Speaker 5: Twenty four minutes after six. Got a text about the live stream. YouTube was having some technical issues a little bit earlier, but it is all up and running now. I'm delighted to report YouTube and Facebook step up to end homelessness. Walk a mile on my boots, registered or donate today walkermile dot org dot are you they're sponsoring the live stream at the moment, Go and support them. They are a wonderful cause. Now we're getting some great texts about people who have undertaken all sorts of tasks in wild weather. Mark says, I was trying to build a house at Vivon Bay, was on Kango Islands. Seven degrees. It's blowing flat out. You could just about to see the icebergs floating by. So cold. When it lasted till lunch it was two wet and too cold. Fair enough Mark our residence stats men Ben Jordan. Great to see hi at the best of say other night. Ben says the rain total so far this year two dred and fifty eight millimeters to date last year ninety seven point eights. You know we've almost had After today, we may well have had almost three times as much rain at this time as the corresponding period last year. Raymond says, back in the day we had a snap of fishery and could successfully target them land based. The best time to get out chasing them was in horrendous wind and rain. The rain we could do without, but the wind would stir up the bottom and the snapper would venture well in short of feed. The same applies to fishers who stand on the no longer jetty in horrendous conditions chasing the salmon that shelter behind the reef.
00:12:55
Speaker 3: See that sounds. That is amazing detail. And what a credit is a human's capacity as hunters that they worked that out. But that entire description Raymond of standing on the end of the Nolunger Jetty in horrendous conditions waiting for a salmon to arrive. You know, more driving instructions here. Just keep driving down Richmond Road and go to Samtas because they have salmon there.
00:13:19
Speaker 5: That's exactly Nathan says. Spare a thought for the meta reader who walks from house to house in all conditions. Do we still have meta readers because or whatever my mind got changed to a smart meter? You know when I think they came around and started doing that about Leon used to fire up about ten years ago. That started that process. I wonder how many old fashion.
00:13:38
Speaker 3: Changed. How is isn't that smart as you're sitting at the front, same as it's always been, brown box? Yeah, I don't. I don't think it's I don't think it's any different.
00:13:45
Speaker 5: Eight double two three double o double. What have you done in clement weather? Wild weather? What were you stuck doing? Lots of junior sporting stories coming through. We'll get some more of those in just a moment. The reason we're talking about. It is because despite the rather army temperature at the moment eight ten point four degrees, we're expecting ten to thirty millimeters in Adelaide today. The six hour rainfall forecast in the western part of the state, so northwestern pastoral into the West Coast and Air Peninsula six hour rainfalls, they're expecting thirty to forty five millimeters. Some localized areas they're saying up to sixty millimeters. That's not Adelaide, so that's the western part of the state. As I say ten to thirty mills for Adelaide. Then it gets cold, not as wet tomorrow, but the top of just sixteen overnight low of eleven two to nine on Friday millimeters, and that's about as much rain as we're going to see then over the course of the next week. And then it's really cold for the weekend Saturday fifteen, Sunday fifteen with an overnight love seven, Monday sixteen with an overnight live seven and sixteen next Tuesday as well, so it starts getting pretty icy.
00:14:50
Speaker 3: I reckon being a posty would be one of the toughest jobs in on a daylight today, made worse by the fact that there's a piece in the ties of this morning. One thousand, two hundred dog attacks on postmen and women a year, one two hundred.
00:15:06
Speaker 5: Did you say they put nine a day? The hot spots in Adelaide, at glynn Port Piri. There was a couple of other spots as well where yeah, posts are just the warning from the Australia Post was can you just lock your dog up?
00:15:20
Speaker 3: Is not that hard?
00:15:20
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, exactly, but you're right. Nasty day for the posty. Today let's talk about sport in the comfort of the studio with Tom Wren, who's got a short sleeve top on which gives you some sense about what he's expecting. Elements wise, huge price drop on the U Mitsubishi A six and thirty four nine ninety drive away Agustina. It's a busial nails Worth and Wison Lates Morning.
00:15:40
Speaker 10: Ready, Morning boys, Morning, will David too. Nil to France. They look pretty slick in second half against Senegal. It's killing him, babe. The finalists from last World Cup France they won it in twenty eighteen, two time champions.
00:15:53
Speaker 11: They're going to be hard to beat.
00:15:54
Speaker 10: The favorites are one of the favorites for a reason.
00:15:57
Speaker 3: So they've.
00:15:59
Speaker 10: Senegal of school one. So what's that the ninety.
00:16:01
Speaker 3: Two minutes so extra time, yeah, they might, you know, eight minutes rather four minutes to go.
00:16:06
Speaker 10: Okay, so still half a chance, but you'd think France had hold on good though from Senegal to get one back. But one of my favorite stories from the World Cup so far has been and I'm sure you might have seen this come across, is the I guess development of the cult following. It's more than a cult following now over New Zealand footballer. Have you heard about this Tim Payne. Such a started with four and a half thousand Instagram followers. They came out this Argentinian influencer said I'm going to find the least known footballer and I'm going to give him some shed some light on him. So he went and met him. He's gone on this big campaign on social media. He's gone from four and a half thousand followers to five point seven million, and he's now in the last few hours been signed by Paraguay's biggest side, Olympia, and so it's a world change. He's about to go to Paraguay and probably make bucket loads of cash.
00:16:59
Speaker 5: Well, he was out there for pretty compelling game of football New Zealand and the Great Match. It was one of the games of the tournament at a brilliant game.
00:17:06
Speaker 10: And hats off to the Iranian players because having to fly out of the country then come back in I.
00:17:13
Speaker 3: Be based in Mexico. Mexico said, will take them after America. They wouldn't.
00:17:16
Speaker 10: It's pretty pretty harrowly.
00:17:17
Speaker 3: The other guy who's become an overnight sensation is the forty year old goalkeeper for Carbo cape Verde, which is everyone west of Africa in the middle of the Atlantic gotion. He's gone to six million Instagram followers and that game. We watched the highlights last night and people new old draw the highlights won't take long. It was unbelievable the way he kept particularly in that first half. Yes, my favorite yarn though from the World Cup so far. So that game Spain European champions, just a team full of absolute superstars playing against Cape Verde. So someone put a bet on Spain, a one million dollar bet on Spain to straight up no score specified. The payout was going to be a million and eighty five thousand dollars nine hundred and forty three dollars and forty eight cents, so he basically win eighty five grand yep from a million dollar bet.
00:18:15
Speaker 5: Spain didn't score caremel responsibly. That guy, Yeah, you'd be pretty flat. It's a tough way to explain over the kitchen table.
00:18:22
Speaker 3: Have you all seen the duck in Mexico City as well? That sorry, the duck. No guy just walking down the street with a pet duck that there has no wings. It's wearing a Mexican top. A duck not only each just a duck just walking along.
00:18:38
Speaker 10: It's the coolest thing where there's been some great scenes. I mean when South Korea won, they were in the streets of Mexico and all the Mexicans joined in partying with them. And you know there's.
00:18:46
Speaker 3: Been some gamedom style Yeah, unbelievable.
00:18:49
Speaker 10: France just scored again, by the way, three to one now, so it's all happening in that game.
00:18:53
Speaker 5: Good stuff for any.
00:18:57
Speaker 1: Knockdown bill too. With metro homes, sell one and move on, keep the other as an investment. Metro homes, they do it all for you.
00:19:06
Speaker 4: Deep big Penberthy and will Goodies five double a Breakfast.
00:19:12
Speaker 5: Nineteen to seven A lot of rain on the way for Adelaide and the western part of the state today. We're getting some great stories through on the text line this morning from people who have undertaken all sorts of feats in the weather and will be today as well. Like Anne who's out volunteering for meals on wheels today. She says she's going to be in and out of the car eighteen times and retrieving meals from the boot at each stop, will be wet but happy by the end. Well, good on you, Anne, that's really important work that you're doing in big sacrifice for your time at the best of times, let alone when we've got ten to thirty millimeters of rain on the way. How about Dean, I feel cold reading this one out. Dean says, I did the Three Peaks two hundred and fifty kilometers cycle challenge of Victoria Falls, Creek, Hotham and Buller, howling freezing wind and rain all day for eleven hours descending from those peaks. The clothes were soaking wet, the wind cut straight through.
00:20:02
Speaker 3: All these stories are chilling me to the bone. Michelle from Elizabeth Park says, Hey, I've played numerous games with netball and pouring rain with water up to my ankles during my junior netball on Kangaro Island. However, the coldest that ever been was during my raft days, standing on parade in East Sail with the coldest underfoot cement and the snow coming down. Trying to move after it was over was tough. I'll tell you what. There's some great stories here from a whole range of different people. More netball here from Charles years ago, Christie's Beach played Port and Lunger. At Port and a Lunger. Just before the game started, a cold front hit with a freezing southerly and it started to pour with intermittent hail. I was about nine and a half stone, dripping, wet and frozen. Our team manager was Neil Curley's older brother, and just before halftime he went into Porty's bar and he bought a couple of bottles of Port, had her mouthful and I said it was the best five minutes of footyo played when we went back on, but it soon wore off, but he brought it out again at three quarter time. We all hoped it would become a regular thing, but I lat's.
00:21:05
Speaker 5: Know that is superb and that Nathan, who's outreading meters, makes the point. So smart mates are meant to be all switched over by twenty thirty, but everyone still has a gas and water meter that needs to be physically read. Good luck to you, Nathan out there reading him today in the weather reason. One of the big things we're talking about weatherwise at this time yesterday was a tree that came down in Torrence Park smashed a collectible car. Young person who was buying up vintage vehicles and restoring them. So one of them get destroyed, another worth one hundred grand just escape the tree going down. Paul Mooney from tech tree Essay joins us, Paul, what a This was interesting, this case because the council said it had only just been assessed this tree, despite the locals being concerned about it. It's obviously a tricky science trying to get to the bottom of whether these things are a thread of falling.
00:21:55
Speaker 3: Over or not.
00:21:58
Speaker 7: I'm elying, gentlemen.
00:21:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, So, Paul, how is it tricky? What?
00:22:05
Speaker 6: What?
00:22:05
Speaker 3: What's the thing that makes it difficult to work out whether a tree is safe or not?
00:22:10
Speaker 7: Oh, this particular one, I think is more to do with the weather rather than the tree.
00:22:15
Speaker 12: Itself.
00:22:15
Speaker 7: These trees are regularly assessed by pretty much nearly all councilors. It's it's underlying the weather is really.
00:22:26
Speaker 6: The issue here.
00:22:27
Speaker 7: You can't you can't look at any individual's free and assume that it's not been ris successed by local council.
00:22:37
Speaker 3: Because I'm a I'm a big tree fan. We've got a we've got a significant gum tree in our backyard and where you sort of say, well, you know, to the kids, if it's if it's a hot day or if it's really windy, give it a wide berth. And we've had it check. We get it checked regularly to make sure it's okay, and we haven't had any dramas with it. But the thing that seemed weird about this tree was, you know, it wasn't like it was cyclonic winds. Clearly it's not hot. You know, can trees just get to the point where for whatever reason structurally or is the is their wetness effect that can they get so heavy from water that they can that they can you know, topple over.
00:23:16
Speaker 7: To Oh yeah, obviously the ground surface is the key. You know, fast the amount of rain over the last week, broute structure can then be compromised that sort of thing.
00:23:29
Speaker 5: Yeah, Paul, this tree was the tires has reported it was a non native pine. So off we're talking about gums dropping branches. Is it surprising that this this sort of tree would have toppled?
00:23:41
Speaker 13: Oh?
00:23:41
Speaker 7: Absolutely nothing to do with the tree species.
00:23:44
Speaker 5: Okay, so there's none that them more likely than others.
00:23:47
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, Now you know a lot of a lot of myths surrounding I'd imagine I'm good on your Paul, Paul Mooney, Their true tech s a no name given on this text, but I think they're under something. Maybe the premier should be the new tree inspector. Well, why not, it'd just be our tree has clearly got a problem.
00:24:09
Speaker 5: Yours on the side of chop. Just to be safe, we're going to take this one down.
00:24:16
Speaker 3: He and all the other ones too.
00:24:18
Speaker 5: We're going to head to Boston in the US now, because this has been the home base of the Scottish fans who have put on one hell of a show there and the people of good people. Boston's one of the great cities of the world, have really embraced the Scots because how couldn't you there's singing songs. They went to the baseball and turned that into a remarkable atmosphere. Of course, they got the win in the World Cup against Haiti as well. One of the stories that's immerged in the last twenty four hours though, is that they've basically drunk the city dry. So we wanted to put that to the test. Len Rothenberg is the owner at Federal Wine and Spirits in Boston. Len, good morning to you. Thanks for joining us over here in Adelaide, Australia. Is it any truth to the fact that Scots have drunk you dry?
00:25:01
Speaker 14: We didn't have a bottle of beer, I should say a can of beer left after they left with us.
00:25:13
Speaker 3: Ah. Right, So, because we know Boston, Boston's got the Irish sort of connection heaven you you know, they're fighting Irish and very much so. Yeah, yeah, So is there a bit of a sort of Celtic affinity with the Scots as well that that has made Boston sort of, you know, turn on such a such a warm welcome to them.
00:25:34
Speaker 14: I have to be very diplomatic about this. I would say that because there are a lot of Irish natives here, we like the Scots.
00:25:43
Speaker 12: He did, we did.
00:25:45
Speaker 14: They were a lot of fun.
00:25:47
Speaker 5: So did you have any kilts, Dereck, And you saw Lane in the last a couple of days.
00:25:51
Speaker 14: Oh my god, did we see? I mean it was killed heaven. And not only that, but the people who went to the game got a Red Sox sweatshirt or T shirt. And I've seen a number of Scotts walking around with a kilt and a Red Sox T shirt. Unfortunately, the Red Sox are not doing well this year, but the Scots did very well.
00:26:21
Speaker 3: Son. The good news for you from as a businessman. You know, everyone knows we're in taught economic times. But all these raving drunks are still there, aren't they because they playing Morocco on the wakends. See, if you light it up with more canes of b you'll be able to sell out again. Hindfully, we had.
00:26:37
Speaker 14: To reload yesterday and we are bracing ourselves for Friday, which is the Scott's Morocco game. And I've laid on extra staff and we've put up the barricades because we had to line out the door for five straight hours, my people waiting to come in. And did you did you read in the article about how somebody came to the cash register and bought a couple of bottles of water and got roundly booed by everyone.
00:27:17
Speaker 3: Else's superb So you're right near the stadium, lane.
00:27:24
Speaker 14: Oh no, we're not. We're about twenty miles away. We're in downtown Boston what has been re christened the stadium as actually the American Football Stadium. We called Gillette after the Shaver most of the time. And that's about twenty miles away us.
00:27:42
Speaker 3: That's a fair old trip. Well, why wouldn't I want to stay in the heart of Boston? The pleasure getting the air four way back in nineteen ninety four in February, it was freezing cold, but it was a stunning city. Yeah, is it scrab Is that what you call you?
00:28:01
Speaker 14: Fish scribe scrite?
00:28:05
Speaker 3: Yeah?
00:28:06
Speaker 14: That means anything that's that came up out of the ocean that you can't call by a real fish need flake?
00:28:13
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, called flake. Hey, d thank you for coming on and confirming that rumor. For us, we wanted to get to the bottom of it, and then that we're delighted to find out there is truth to the suggestion the Scots drank Boston dry Lead Rothenburg, owner at the Federal Wine and Spirit Shop in Boston five hour lineup yesterday to get a bottle of your best remarkable story. All right, let's talk about another remarkable story, this one local the weather today. Michael Conway at theau Bureau of Meteorology has the details for us. Michael, is it going to get as wet as you guys were forecasting yesterday?
00:28:45
Speaker 3: Do you think?
00:28:47
Speaker 15: We're looking like about ten to twenty millimeters through Adelaide? So it is going to be pretty wet. It might be a bit higher in the hill and the rivers or the creeks in the hill will rise up a bit, so just watch it for that one. But yeah, so I wasn't on yesterday. I'm sure exactly what we walk us. It's going to be pretty wet.
00:29:10
Speaker 3: It hasn't changed much from yesterday. Loo, it's pretty much the same as it was yesterday. Michael. I think it might have gone up by five. I think it was ten to twenty five next ten to thirty, so it's jumped.
00:29:18
Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I just gave it a bit of a smooth there instead. It might be a high on the hills there for the thirty but yeah, yeah, and it's going to be warm like twenty degrees with the rain. The rain will be increasing in late later in the day Tomorrow, they'll be showered about in the morning and then the evening, but it'll clear up a bit during the middle of the day, back to around sixteen degrees, so a bit more, a bit cooler tomorrow. And we've overnight was it was it was sixteen point seven was the was the minimum? So that's extremely warm for a minimum temperature.
00:29:56
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, Mia, Michael Conway the way the Bureaudity say Polson. He comes to William Bennett joins us, Liam, this is awful. We've had another fatal crash on the Lincoln Highway.
00:30:06
Speaker 16: Yeah, not a good start two the week. So it was about ten thirty yesterday that police and emergency services were called to the Lincoln Highway about thirty kilometers north of Cow. That was after reports of a crash involving a great Wall ute and a Holden station wagon. Now the driver of the hold In, a sixty six year old cow man, sadly died at the scene. His passenger, a sixty five year old cow woman, was taken to hospital in a serious condition, and the driver of the a twenty nine year old port Agusta man was taken to hospital with minor injuries and he was later arrested by Major Crash officers and charged with causing death by dangerous driving and causing harm by dangerous driving. He was issued with an instant loss of license until further order and bowed to appear in the whale A Magistrate's Court in August. Now, the Lincoln Highway was closed between Whaler and Cowpas several hours to allow for Major Crash officers to conduct their investigation. However, it reopened at about eight point forty last night. And we just ask anyone who witnessed the crash or anyone with dashtam cam footage to come forward to crime stoppers. And this man's death is the fifty second life lost on our roads this year.
00:31:12
Speaker 3: Willam also a house fire at Elizabeth North.
00:31:16
Speaker 16: Yeah, just before one o'clock this morning, police and MFS Cruise were called to a vacant home on Hommington Road, Elizabeth North after reports of a fire, and the fire was contained to the back of the home and roof space and was quickly extinguished by AMFS Fire Cruise. Our Fire Cause investigators attended the scene and determined that the fire had been deliberately lit. Norn District Police are investigating this incident and we ask anyone with information or anyone who saw any suspicious activity in the area just around the time of this incident please come forward and contact crime Stoppers.
00:31:45
Speaker 3: And this final one liam a drink drivers crashed in a front yard in north Have what's the story there?
00:31:52
Speaker 16: Yeah, this is a perfect example of how people need to take responsibility on our roads, particularly after the fatal crash yesterday. This is very lucky escape for this driver and any members of the public in the area. Was just four ten pm when police were called to the corner of Military Road and Hartley Road after a Toyota Highlack's crashed into the front yard of a home and you ended up wedged between a stoby pole and a tree. Fortunately the driver in this case escaped without injury. Really disappointingly though, he was breath tested and produced a blood alcohol reading of point one seven eight and this thirty three year old man from North Haven was arrested for drink driving and driving without due care. His guard was impounded for twenty eight days. He was given a twelve month instant loss of license and bowed to appear in the Port Adelaide Magistrates Court in July.
00:32:35
Speaker 3: Good stuff, Liam, thanks, you're right goose. When he wakes up this morning.
00:32:38
Speaker 5: See he comes to a Liam Bennett from SAPOD.
00:32:43
Speaker 1: Knockdown bill too with metro homes. Sell one and move on keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes. They do it all for you, Jeevid.
00:32:51
Speaker 4: Pen Burby and Will Goodings five double a breakfast.
00:32:58
Speaker 5: Minute to seven after seven o'clock this morning, we're going to spin for the smart Watch. Carolert, Mike and Darren Stiles, greatest of the carol At the guys there at best of say they're regulars at best of say last Friday night, and the cat smart watch is their greatest invention yet. Will give away one of those after seven Today we're just going to talk about petrol prices and fuel security in light of the recent developments in Iran and the piece of cord that Donald Trump claims now has actually already been signed out of the official ceremony in Switzerland that's going to take place. And if you do have outstanding questions about the rain, grass and plants, we're going to there's no one who knows more than Adelaide OVAL's turf manager Pete Foreman will join us after seven point fifteen this morning. We'll talk travel, guitar, railways, returning, Phil Hoffmanill Beyond the Program and David Kosh bit of relief yesterday relief, all those a funny way of painting it. Very least rates on hold are not more pain when the interest rate determination got handed down.
00:33:55
Speaker 3: A big weekend of big Saturday football for South Australia. The crow is obviously taking on the demons at two L forty five. I'll tell you what, when you look at how sod in your own garden gets the way the Adelaide Oval can bounce back from an absolute the.
00:34:09
Speaker 5: Drainage of them, of modern Ovals is ridiculous.
00:34:11
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well they've got layers of like you know, great fit grain sand and well.
00:34:16
Speaker 5: You're watching an old video of a thirty years ago and it was it was a suburban mud heap.
00:34:21
Speaker 3: Yeah. And then Saturday night Collingwood v. Port. Tell you what, Port a jew for a close win. They deserve what I'm given the season that they've had. And I reckon Collingwood, no great shakes. I wouldn't I would not be surprised if Port jagged did over there.
00:34:37
Speaker 5: I think there's a there's a pragmatic view that Port are doing precisely what they should, and that is demonstrating that Josh Carr can galvanize a group a game plan that with limited personnel can stand up. And they're losing just enough to guarantee you get a really good draft pick.
00:34:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:34:54
Speaker 5: I think losing by three points was the ideal result against a cracking side against Sydney last weekend.
00:35:00
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:35:01
Speaker 5: It feels weird to say, but I think that was that was the model for the rest of the year.
00:35:06
Speaker 3: Five. The last thing Port want to do is winbow last year when it was come twelve. Well, that's true, you know that's that would be a disaster. It has he entering the comp exactly right. You're going to maximize you. They're going to get.
00:35:25
Speaker 1: Lockdown Bill two with Metro Homes, Sell one and move on, keep the other as an investment.
00:35:30
Speaker 2: Metro Homes. They do it all for you.
00:35:33
Speaker 4: Deepen, Ben Berthy and Will Goodings. Five double a breakfast.
00:35:39
Speaker 5: Minutes after seven. Coshy's coming up. This is our good time to be tuning in a football club director and compare the market Economic Guru on the decision yesterday by the Reserve Bank to keep rates on hold. What does that mean though for the future, And what did Kochi read into Michelle Bullock's comments with regard to the direction of both the economy and the unemployment rate and what we can glean from that about what it might mean for mortgages into the future. That is coming up. Also after seven thirty, we're took flights. Summer in Europe according to all the travel experts is back on again. There've been some.
00:36:16
Speaker 3: Qatar resuming flights today, Andrew said on the text line Aviation enthusiast.
00:36:22
Speaker 5: Andrew, who watches these things very closely, says Qatar Airways resumes today and China Eastern commits services from Shanghai this Sunday. So that was real concerned with what was going on in Iran that the annual Australian pilgrimage to Europe for summer wasn't going to be a thing. Phil Hoffman will tell us it is after seven thirty today and in a moment we're going to talk turf. What is the adelaide o we're going to look like for that Saturday afternoon fixture between the Crows and Melbourne given the rain we're expecting today and over the course of the rest of the week. And maybe you've got a query about your own lawn for the Adelaide OVAL's turf manager about preparing the deck for Saturday game. We finally got an answer yesterday to a long standing question about the fate of Mick Sherry, the South Australian Electoral Commissioner, who we now know will step away from his position. We know too that the state government had directed the commission to hold the local government elections next year, delaying them from November this year on account of the parlor state of the South Australian state election that was conducted in March of this year. We wanted to bring Clem macintyren to talk about this. Clem McEntire, Emeritus Professor of Politics from Adelaide University. Clem, good morning to you from your from your vantage point as a simple observer of these things myself, it just strikes me as odd that we did this so well for so long and then apparently the wheels fell off. How can that be?
00:37:50
Speaker 6: Yes, good morning, and it's a very good question and probably it's one that will become apparent when the results of the review that have been conduct into the last election returned later this year. But you're right. We've had an independent electoral commission for years and years and years all over Australia, different ones at state levels and the federal level, and with a couple of rare exceptions, the conduct of elections has been exemplary. There's sort of a benchmark against which the rest of the world often looks pretty awful. And then out of the blues you say, nearly things went wrong in South Australia. Now, as I say, I can't tell you why that happened, but the review being conducted by the former federal Election Commissioner should give us some of those answers, so claim.
00:38:44
Speaker 3: One of the key changes that the proposed legislation that the government has come up with is that instead of being held in November this year, the elections will be held in April of next year. But after that they'll change the election cycle, so effectively, anyone running for local government next April will be running for a four and a half year term because the next elections will be in November twenty thirty one. So when you look at that a little bit more closely. I guess what it does is it means that from now on, avoiding using the term going forward there from now on, local government elections will not be held in the same year as the state election, which should from a workload perspective, be a good thing for the Electoral Commission.
00:39:32
Speaker 6: Yes, I think you're quite right, and my Unstami's Electoral Commission have been pushing for some time to have a greater space between the state elections. We've got fixed four year terms for state elections. We know it's the third Saturday in March every four years, so we can put that date down clearly the days of a premier being able to call an electional and it suits them along gone. So we've got that fixed term at the state level and we've had fixed terms at local government level. Having them both in the same calendar year I think did put serious strain upon the Electoral Commission. They're different elections and they've got their own complexities and so on. Putting a bit more time between the state one and the local government one, I think is a good idea. It's probably going to cause some inconveniences as that rescheduling takes place, we'll have to delay the local government elections from later this year till next year, and that's going to upset the plans of perhaps some sitting councilors and candidates, and then as you say, a slightly extended term for those elected at the elections of the rescheduled elections for next year. But once we've got through that little hiccup, I think it's a very sensible move, Glen.
00:40:49
Speaker 5: If there was a spectrum of say a technological sophistication with how we approach elections in Australia and South Australia compared the rest of the world, where do we sit. Are we sort of in the middle of the range? Are we at the cutting edge? Are we behind the time so to speak?
00:41:07
Speaker 6: I think in terms of integrity and rigor an independence from government, we are as good as anyone. I don't know any other system that you'd say that's clearly it better than us, and there are lessons we would learn. So in most you know, without going through every country, in most parts of the world, there is not the same level of independence between the Electoral Commission and the government. For example, we can see in the US at the moment that we've got state governments effectively re drawing federal boundary lines for congressional elections in a way to set up parts and an advantage and suit them, and some of those are being built in court and so on. Here we have an independent commission who are told we need to distribute the population into a given number of seats with equal numbers more or less. They go out and do that and they present their funds to the Parliament and there that's what happens.
00:42:05
Speaker 5: About the sorry Glen. What about though, specifically with regard to our use of technology in terms of counting votes, in terms of collating votes in people voting?
00:42:15
Speaker 6: So we did we do generally again across Australia with a few exceptions, we're still with the pencil and paper. Other jurisdictions outside Australia are looking much more at electronic voting and so on. We have postal voting, not everybody has that, and we have absentee voting, which doesn't apply in a lot of jurisdictions as well. Look, I'm not a fan of a move to electronic voting for all sorts of reasons. The danger of hacking remains there. I think regardless of what the technical experts tell us, and having confidence in the process is really important. Goal sound old fashioned and probably romantic, but I rather like the idea that the community turns up on Saturday, picks up a pencil and ad buys a sausage and chats to the neighbors, stands in a queue, cast the vote and headsione. It's not a lot to ask once every four years for us to physically attend like that, whether it's a pre poll or on the day. And I think there is some I know it's some abstracts of collective good as we exercise the franchise and cast a vote. So I would be sorry to see it go to electronic voting where we sit in a kitchen table and press above.
00:43:42
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:43:43
Speaker 3: The people who often get the most emotional on out voting in Australia and migrants who've come here from countries where you can't vote, and they go, wow, how lucky are we with one the lottery of life being given a chance to settle here. Good on your claim, claim, McIntire adelaide any emeritus professor of politics.
00:44:00
Speaker 5: Argument I've heard about against electronic building beyond the nice elements that Clember's pointed out there was that there is something fundamental to working democracy that people understand every step of the process. You get I put the mark on this paper, it goes into that box, it goes into a room, They tip them on the floor. People from all the parties come and watch them get counted. It's all very tactile, transparent, and you understand it once it goes into a computer system and there's software, and there's how's it get transmitted and who can get accessed? Once there's questions you can't answer. Yeah, that invokes all sorts of speculation around what might actually be really going on. You know, that goes berserk online. That kind of vacuum, that knowledge vacuum gets filled well sorts of stuff. So I think that's a pretty compelling argument to keep it as it is.
00:44:46
Speaker 1: Knockdown, build two with metro homes, Sell one and move on, keep the other as an investment.
00:44:52
Speaker 2: Metro homes. They do it all for you.
00:44:54
Speaker 4: Deep it Penberthy and Will Goodings five double a breakfast.
00:44:59
Speaker 5: Twenty minut after seven. Do we have any real lawn enthusiasts listening, any real home grasp people that it's that it is the pride and joy. You've got pictures of it on your phone. I bet we do. Whether you willing to own up to it or not, it's a huge thing now, absolutely it is. The lawn pawn is what they call it.
00:45:17
Speaker 3: Well, we've done adds for the lawn hub. We certainly have amazing I've put that fertilizer on about six weeks ago and the lawn it looks absolutely excellent.
00:45:25
Speaker 5: I wonder if anyone's going to have the you know, the little rope fence up around their lawn with all the rain that's coming at the moment to try and keep it pristine. No such luxury. For our next guest, Pete Foreman, is the turf manager at Adelaide. Oval, Pete degree of difficulty I imagine somewhat high for people keeping the lawn healthy at a time when we're going to get rain like we're expecting over the rest of the day. But you've got the added benefit of some pretty cutting edge technology there at Adelaide. Oval. Good morning to you.
00:45:54
Speaker 12: Hi, good morning, and David, it's great to be with you.
00:45:57
Speaker 17: Yeah, we've certainly been wet through the city and we've had we've tipped out ninety eight meal of rain out of the gauge in June. So yeah, the team does a great job here and together ready to get the ground ready for all games and then particularly the wet ones.
00:46:11
Speaker 15: Yeah for sure.
00:46:12
Speaker 3: So are you guys like you know, there's there's lawn enthusiasts and enthusiastic amateurs, but then there's you guys who are in the league of your own. Is there almost like an algorithm we can work out, like X number of millimeters of rain equals x number of minutes for the drainage to do the job at the Adelaide Oval.
00:46:34
Speaker 17: Oh, yeah, to a point, Like obviously the ground was constructed to the high spec back in the redevelopment days, so it does drain quite well. But I suppose we're more about the sort of preventative approach, and we all of our team keep a really close eye on the forecast and the weather apps and things like that, and we plan our playout our sort of ground maintenance around that, and you know, leading in and up to games. I suppose the timing of the rain is really important for us. It's like early week rain, like like Monday Tuesday is probably not so bad, but when you sort of get rain leading into the game, like on a Friday or a Saturday morning into a Saturday game. That's when it can cause a bit.
00:47:09
Speaker 8: Of a bit of issues.
00:47:11
Speaker 17: But but yeah, there's a lot of technology available now and and and the skills of our staff are really high to get the ground in good condition.
00:47:19
Speaker 3: Yeah, because isn't there like a sort of it's a bit like a like a lazagia, isn't it the pitch and underneath it all of the sub soil, Like you've got layers of drainage built in, haven't you, Paul that beat?
00:47:32
Speaker 9: Yeah?
00:47:33
Speaker 17: Yeah, yeah, that's right. So it's there's a there's a stand layer like directly below the actual turf layer, and then that goes into a gravel drainage layer, and then there's there's there's drain there's black drainage pipe on the sub base there, so everything drains out.
00:47:48
Speaker 12: Into the torrents.
00:47:49
Speaker 17: So it's a bit of a bit of a circle effects and it all drains out there and then we and then we irrigate back out of the torrents in the in the in the summer time.
00:48:00
Speaker 5: It just seems remarkable watching footy, you know, growing up in the nineties and you'd see these muddy decks after a few days of rain or a couple of games being played on it. These days, it seems to dry out so quickly. If we say we get thirty millimeters today, how quickly would it would adelaide Over will be dry under foot?
00:48:17
Speaker 3: Do you think?
00:48:18
Speaker 12: Yeah?
00:48:18
Speaker 17: Probably within probably within half an hour.
00:48:22
Speaker 5: It's just half an hour.
00:48:24
Speaker 18: Yeah, Yeah, a lot done.
00:48:27
Speaker 17: Yeah, what we've done to the ground previous, So you know, in the lead up to these big rain events, we you know, we plan a lot of aerations. So Sunday we had the tractor out there all day punching quite big holes in the ground so to let the water drain through. So as long as that water can get through that top sort of fifty to sixty mil where the organic layer can build up a little bit. If you can keep those sort of drainage channels open, that really helps the surface and how it plays on game day.
00:48:55
Speaker 3: How often does it get mode Pete?
00:48:58
Speaker 17: Yeah, So in the in the in the winter time, we generally male it sort of two or three times a week, and then a bit more concentrated in the lead up to games like well we'll double cut it on a game day generally, But that's a it's a good point because traffic is a is a really good thing to keep off in the rainy events. So we'll monitor how much we mow it and do anything out there in the in the weather events. But yeah, it is a really good point about keeping sort of traffic off the ground in these wet weather events because you.
00:49:29
Speaker 3: Might have to pull back on the mowing in the wet because mainly just you wouldn't want to have a big ride on male out there when it's when it is damp, even though the draining is you know, world's best sort of stuff.
00:49:41
Speaker 17: Yeah, yeah, that's right. So we yeah, well, like i've beat out this morning, it's in pretty good. It's pretty good nick this morning. So yeah, we'll assess there's there's certain area of the ground that hold probably.
00:49:52
Speaker 18: A little bit of a little bit more water, so that we.
00:49:54
Speaker 17: Need to be sort of mindful log especially around the boundary area, just like leading into the synthetic turf. So yeah, we'll assess what's happening out there and adjust accordingly.
00:50:06
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what I reckon. If you're doing the sort of top five offices in Adelaide, there's a few that spring to mind like Peter Gago, you know, currently looking out over the vines at mcgilla State as the chief winemaker at Penfolds. But you having the Adelaide Oval as your office must you know. I'm sure like everyone you have days where you might hit the snooze button, but most days you'd be just jumping out of your skin to get into work at that place. What an excellent job to have.
00:50:33
Speaker 17: Yeah, it is an amazing place to where we've got a great team here and we all feel the same. And yeah, it is a privilege to work at Aelaide Oval and present it sort of week in week out for footy and cricket and all the other events we have here. So yeah, it's been a tremendous for the city and yeah it is a great.
00:50:53
Speaker 6: Place to work.
00:50:55
Speaker 3: Good on your Pete, Thank you, Pete Foreman, Adelaide Oval, Tiff.
00:50:57
Speaker 1: Manager knockdown Field too with Metro Homes. Sell one and move on keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes they do it all for you.
00:51:09
Speaker 4: Deevid Penberthy and Will Goodings five double a breakfast.
00:51:16
Speaker 5: Twit a minutes the way. David Kosh coming up this half hour, interested in Koshi's interpretation of Michelle Bullock's comments yesterday with the distermination to keep rates on hold. We'll find out Koshi what he thinks in about ten minutes time. In a moment, Phil Hoffman's going to join us, we'll talk about some flights coming back online here in Adelaide. That mean that for people that want to make a late swing to the European summer, you certainly have a suite of options available to you, which is exciting. Lots of texts coming through a lot of people really upset about the delay for the local government elections, given the resignation of Mick Sherry, the electoral commissioner, and the state government's decision to push them into next year. A lot of people just see this as a lot of people, frankly wanted to have their opinion shared at the ballot box, and they're not going to give that opportunity now. Elkie says, I'm living in a council where no roads have been reserved since two thousand and three. I'm irked that I'll have to wait longer before this and before I can vote out this unacceptable mayor who's never been seen in the suburb Andrews says, guys, I guess these mayors instead of planning for an election in November, some will be heading to Turkey for the COP thirty one summit.
00:52:26
Speaker 3: Has that been canceled then? Has it? I thought that there wasn't going ahead because they couldn't agree on who should haste it. Oh, so it's going to be, which is why Bowen's doing is flitting about the planet at public expenses. El President, Where does it default to? Is it somewhere in Germany? Yeah? I'm not sure.
00:52:45
Speaker 5: Someone here says, can't we just fund the federal Commission to run this council election? The Rio Trio should face democracy.
00:52:53
Speaker 3: We're going to get into this after eight o'clock because there's no guarantees that the government's legislation is going to go through because put out a statement yesterday where they were saying pretty unimpressed that the Commission has succeeded in its request for a delay. And on top of that, I think that one nation are going to block it. We're seeking confirmation on that, but we'll do more.
00:53:18
Speaker 5: On that well. Today, Qatar Airways resumes daily flights from Adelaide. It's the second major international connection to be restored after the war in Iran, China. Eastern services from Shanghai to Adelaide starts Sunday. As we got told by aviation enthusiast Andrew a little bit earlier. It's good news for people that want to get away. Phil Hoffman from Phil Hoffman Travel joins us on five double a Breakfast. Phil, is the European summer back on.
00:53:46
Speaker 18: Yes, back on, and look it still has been. You know, people have been doing all the alternative routes that you're suggesting that, you know, with Singapa Airlines, double daily, Cafe Pacific. I just went recently will with Malaysian Airlines and Turkish Airlines through to Europe to Brovnik. Beautiful connection with a new new aircraft with their mates, but with Emirates, and that's just going to help. Now we just get the confidence back in people traveling through there. So I think you'll see the two airlines put some incentives in there for people to still do late bookings. You know, Europe's still open and now people are going later and later. So I think it's great opportunity for anyone who's missed out or hesitated to get going and going. Running up to say the end of October, which is always sort a good time in Europe will so I think we're going to see a surge again. I mean the flight the planes are full. People at Europe's full, a lot of the cruising markets full. So people are not hesitating, they're just going different ways.
00:54:43
Speaker 3: Did you find a feel that when the war broke out that initially there was a bit of a flurry of calls people who.
00:54:48
Speaker 19: Were making Arta Pembo. We had people in on from Saturday night onwards when we got the news, all day Sunday, working through to get anyone that had immediate flights to get them on alternate flights. And so yeah, we've been in action the whole time making sure that no one missed out. Because you're not covered by insurance if you cancel out on anything, so you can't get there and you've got a land arrangement, you've got to get going. I was going to Africa with the Emirates Goodbye to down to Nairobi with the family, and I think you shtopp going via Perth Souta from Airlines up to joe Berg and then Kenya Airways. So we found alternats for everybody to make sure that.
00:55:27
Speaker 18: No one missed out. You know, a few people are nervous, so they'll wait for a while, and certainly it's held back a lot of the booking for next year. But now I think with the confidence of the peace agreement it goes through. I think you'll see the big booking for next year come forward, as they normally do at this time of the year. So we're fairly confident at this stage, and there's certainly good news on Sunday to here that the peace Agreement will take place.
00:55:51
Speaker 5: Field peace is one thing. Petrol and pricing or another. There were a lot of very scary headlines about aviation fuel and what it might mean for prices on planes. What if we see it do did it jump up significantly? And if it did, is.
00:56:02
Speaker 18: It no, it hasn't significantly. Will prices never go back down? You know when they put tacks and feel things, there's only one way for prices to go, and that's up. You know, I've never seen them come back down, so I'll be surprised if we do see them come down. They haven't been up significantly, but you know they're still fairly high at this stage. But you know, we may see, as I say, the two Middle East airlines, you know, Katara and EM's putting in some incentives for people to go by that I'd go there tomorrow, I'd go via that way tomorrow and I'd stay in tomorrow or or dividers. I think they're great stopovers and great pricing. But as I said, and the convenience of going out of Adelaide always you know, going out of it coming back into Abai. It's just it just makes it easy for international travel. But so yeah, we'll wait and see on that.
00:56:49
Speaker 3: On that question will pre tell you what feel your line of work. There's ever a dull moment? Is it pandemic?
00:56:57
Speaker 4: Yeah?
00:56:57
Speaker 18: I remember I reckon I can marking every year with something has happened. I say that the staff never get super confident because there's always something that knocks our head off, you know, over a while there, but that we bounced back. But I think, I think Pembo, that's when we really show our true colors, because you know, we've got great consultants are going to actually immediately with their clients and also they're sort of are working around the clock twenty four to seven to make sure that no one's you know, sort of being left and not being built.
00:57:22
Speaker 5: They phil based on the inquiries you get, say, editor, we've got the good people of the Adelaide Airport listening the or the government. What would be the next direct international flight that we should be looking to secure out about that Japan?
00:57:36
Speaker 18: Well, Japan is the demand for Japan we put over or not. We Australia sent over a million people to Japan on travel in the last last year in twenty twenty five. It's the fastest growing segment for US. And certainly you know Vietnam is another one that's back there with a lot of interest. But I would say the best thing that's the airport. And they SAYTC, I know that in the government, I know they're working on this is to get a direct flight with to Japan. That's a big market for all of us in travel at the moment.
00:58:05
Speaker 3: Well for you dead right about your consultants, because when when we're when I was booking my trip, I went in the monday after and I did this not through any commercial arrangements we've got with you. I did it as a private citizen paying for our holiday out of my own heart earned. And you're blake him in he was he was straight onto me and he got a very complicated series of flights booked in record time and he was a pleasure to deal with.
00:58:33
Speaker 18: So, yeah, Mbury's a great consultant and from Afric understand brought him out himself out in his family. And you know, when he first started with us, I thought, hello, you know to what we're doing. And but I refer a lot of my clients from me that to him, and they just love him. They just think talk so highly about him. And you know that all the all the team are trained so heavily. I keep he keeps training them the whole time, which makes them right on top of it, you know, what's going on with the world and also new deals and new offers and that. But it's looking after your time and making sure that and you had no way you away. It'd always runs back to admit you're going to action for your straightaway from need to change something.
00:59:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely good on you. Phil Phil Hoffman from Phil Hoffman Travel, thank you.

00:59:57
Speaker 4: David pen Burbe and Will Goodings five.
01:00:00
Speaker 5: Breakfast Minutes to Wait Koshi in just a Moment Tomorrow Afternoon with Stacey Lee, We've got a five double a Interactive Lounge. Are representatives from Sports Metal Beyond debunking myths about common musculo skeletal issues like tennis elbow and frozen shoulder.
01:00:19
Speaker 3: I think tennis. You've had tennis elbow, haven't you. I got it from covering the election campaign. Yeah. I wrote twenty three five hundred words in four weeks. It's one of those things, it's so common for people. It's so common in middle age, it sounds funny you call them. No one gets sympathy, No one gives you sympathy for it, and anyone who gets it says it's one of the worst. It's one of the worst physical affliction you can get because it's just persistent and it's it's not curable easily. I mean, it's not like you know, having the ebolavirus, but it's still no less than ideal. Yeah, in terms of weird things here, like the things that you can't turn doorknos. Yeah, I'm talking in terms of like muscle strains and things. It's at a level where nobody cares that you've got it using it, but it's usingly irritating. Using a knife became really hard for a while. Are you all recovered now? Well? Yeah, I've got some like five dollars weights from Kmar and just walked around with them from them. Is that why you're jack now? I am ye got the guns out there. It's also.
01:01:19
Speaker 4: David Kosh on five double a breakfast to talk about with Kosh.
01:01:23
Speaker 5: We love getting on on mornings like this after big decisions like that the Reserve Bank made yesterday regarded a cash rate and lots of teas out from Michelle Bullitt's comments as well. Cosh you good morning to you, goodbrning, Jen. So what did you make of it? There was forecasts about slowing economic growth, rising unemployment, no interest rate rise in the short term, but not ruling out long term. What stood out to you.
01:01:47
Speaker 12: Okay, Well, what stood about was a bit of common sense, which is good. We've talked about it here for weeks, that the economy was deteriorating, not just from an anecdotal level, but starting to see some of the raw employment data show a weakening in the employment, seeing bosses going into their bunker and not replacing people that leave. You know, all our workplaces, I reckon have got hiring freezers at the moment, don't replace anybody that leaves. And that's starting to throw showed through to the economy, and the Reserve Bank is taking notice. But I really love a shell bullet because she does it like it is. She goes, well, yeah, but inflation is still high, so I've got to keep that in the back pocket for further intrace for interest rate increases. And hey, these tax changes in the budget, yes, they're creating uncertainty in the market as well, it's not helping.
01:02:47
Speaker 3: Basically, hey, because you for many years in your former guys is the co host of Sunrise, you had many encounters with Pauline Hanson. It's a big days her today in the court of their thirty year career. She's doing it all in address to the National Press Club where I'm not sure what the collective noun is, but that the assembled national political media will be there.
01:03:12
Speaker 12: Okay, lots of politicians have different collective nouns. For me, one of them starts with their ends with with.
01:03:22
Speaker 3: Absolutely. But you know her pretty well and you had a couple of testing moments with it. How do you see them going from protest party to alternative government and do you think they're capable of doing it?
01:03:36
Speaker 12: A lot of it is going to depend on the performance of paul En Hanson. I think I'd like to be honest. When we used to have her as a regular on Sunrise at my kids at old kids would absolutely fume, why are you having this person on? Why with their sort of almost wide Australia views, Why would you give her any airtime at all? And my argument was that she speaks for quite a large constituency of the electorate and in the interest of fearing us, we should have have her on to represent that segment of the community. But also I couldn't stand the way that she would mishandle the truth in a lot of issues, and I saw it as my role to pull her up when she just sort of trotted these statistics out which were just completely under a complete myth. So, you know, I think it's so we talk about Donald Trump mishandling the truth. Pauline has a bit of a record on that, to the point where at one stage she said to our executive producer she wouldn't come on anymore, or she'd only come on sunarized if I did an interviewer, And the executive executive producer said, well, then you don't come on.
01:05:09
Speaker 3: Imagine annoying questions around for accuracy.
01:05:15
Speaker 12: Yeah, Paulie match Roth what you're saying. It was the early Trump tactic.
01:05:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was.
01:05:22
Speaker 12: He seems to have masked. So, you know, I think she's Obviously a lot of people are disgruntled with the conservatives. You know, they've lost the new age conservative coming through to the teals because they are out of touch, and now they're losing the more conservative conservative following in the Liberals to one nation. So they're the ones that have got a real issue on their hands. I think of bringing back their supporters, both young and old, who are deciding to go somewhere else.
01:06:00
Speaker 5: I'm not this is not a failed attempt to ask you for a stock tip, but I'm intrigued at your thoughts about the remarkable space x ipo in the United States. Elon Musk's company that overnight. People might not realize this. It's market cap, which is to say what investors say the value of the company is based on the shares that are available, has surpassed Amazon. It's a bigger company. It's the fifth biggest company in the world. Now, SpaceX a lot of excitement. What do you make of it all?
01:06:28
Speaker 12: Well, it's gone off like a rocket. So and Elon, well he's become the world's first trigon air, would you believe?
01:06:39
Speaker 6: So?
01:06:40
Speaker 12: The bloke certainly got some money. His wealth is about the equivalent of Australia at the moment. But look, with these sorts of sort over, I think overly optimistic. I pos everyone want a decis of it. It is sexy. Even as the little kids we looked up into the stars and love space. Now, here's a way to invest in it. Look, it's a terrific company. It's proved itself. NATA even uses SpaceX now. At the moment, the technology is incredible, reusable rockets that come up and go down again. They're just like like the the lin Foxes of space. You know, you know, that's what it is. They're becoming the Freighters of space, and that's that is just remarkable. Unfeatherm ab. But the value I think is pretty hard to put on it. It seems to be overstretched at the moment. A lot of analysts are saying, but you know, waiting to see technology is changing so fast, you just never done it.
01:07:49
Speaker 3: How good luck against the Pies on Saturday one losses.
01:07:56
Speaker 12: Okay, so so tom I must have run over a black cat. But in all of AFL and VFL history, only three clubs have ever lost five games by three points or less in a season in the whole of the history. We've still got ten rounds to go.
01:08:15
Speaker 5: So you know, the history in the making, isn't it.
01:08:22
Speaker 12: Yeah, all right, that's true.
01:08:27
Speaker 3: Suggestive. If you're doing that, then you're close.
01:08:32
Speaker 12: We're mixed. We're mixing up with the best of them. But we just can't get it over the line. And you look at our percentage is pretty good, third best defensive record in the league. It's just a couple of things have to click for us. So we live in Hope.
01:08:53
Speaker 5: We all have to football club gym and compare the market Economic Director David Kosh.
01:09:02
Speaker 1: Knockdown Bill two with Metro Homes sell one and move on Keith the other as an investment.
01:09:08
Speaker 2: Metro Homes. They do it all for you.
01:09:10
Speaker 4: David ben Berthy and Will Goodings five double a breakfast.
01:09:17
Speaker 5: Twelve minutes after right, Stay listening this hour for the Knowles Caravans jingle. If you hear it, we'll give you one hundred dollars Noles Caravans voucher simply bit the verse call or through an eight double two three double o double o' Noles Caravans with declarance madness. He is on now save on a range of premium vans Salisbury Highway at Greenfields. Well, might you be distracted by the Iraq Norway game at the moment. It's one of the great Australian stories going on in the World Cup at the moment. Graham Arnold, former soccer who's manager coaching Iraq. The government for having qualified, they want to make him an Iraqi citizen. He's been offered Iraqi citizenship. Great story by Vince regarding in the Sydney Morning Herald about how Gray Martols integrated to managing a what has been a war torn country. He's moved to bag Dad. He said, he's had justed his life to fit in the hours these guys live. Culturally, it's a total shift. He's done the little tidbit. He's done things like he had to work out because these guys are all from different that they're all from Iraq, a lot of them are refugees and they moved to Scandinavian countries. He said. He ended up picking his team dividing the pitch into three sections. There's one section of the guys who all speak Arabic, there's one section the guys who all speak fluent English, and in the middle of the guys who were fluent in both. And he's had to pick a team around making sure that everyone can actually speak to each other across the pitch. It's just a phenomenal job that he's doing it. At the moment, they're won all against Norway, featuring Earling Harlan, the goal scorer, one of the great strikers in the world. It's just such a remarkable story. Thirteen after eight. We've got some more good stuff coming up on the program this morning, including the World Cup of South Australia. It has in recent weeks featured the Police Commissioner Grant Stevens. He won't be part of it this morning, but he will be in the student after eight thirty. Lots to talk to him about. Did you see the the gun disguised as an iPhone? I'd never seen one of these things before. It's a but just to look at it. Once assembled, it's an iPhone, but you pull it apart and it turns into a handgun. We'll talk to him about that in the host of other things as well after eight thirty. Today is always if you've got a question, we would love to hear from you. Let's first go breaking it eight though, shall we?
01:11:25
Speaker 3: Yes, I'll tell you what's a pity we can't do more breaking at eights like this one. Because I am super excited about this and this is a part of Adelaide that's close to my heart's where I grew up. The old Tongsley hotel did some of my best fake id work there back in the day. We've joined though by Anna Hurley because Rising Phoenix, like from the ashes of the Tomsley Hotel which had to make way for the South Road upgrade, is the new Panorama Hotel.
01:11:51
Speaker 12: Now.
01:11:52
Speaker 3: I went in there with mum and Dad last Friday and we had a countery. It was absolutely superb. But I tell you, for Adelaide South this is going to be an absolute revelation, this new pub. And it's a very rare thing that Adelaide gets a new pub that doesn't even happen annually. I don't think with the way licensing works. But as I said, we do have Anna early on the line now and a good morning and look, congratulations, this is such a big achievement by your family. You've plowed god only knows how much money into it, but it really is a stunning hotel.
01:12:27
Speaker 13: Thank you so much, David. Were so excited to finally have the hotel open. Obviously, after we found out that Tunsley was going to be acquired, we started work straight away on a new hotel and moving the licenses and so it's about five years down the track we finally opened the doors.
01:12:45
Speaker 3: It's a big operation. So what it's four stories high with a big rooftop bar and you can actually see you can see out of the coast from the western side of the pub and then the eastern side. You got that beautiful view of the hills.
01:12:58
Speaker 13: Yes, it's a stunning view because you're so raised up in the foothills there. It's just a stunning view over the whole of Adelaide. You can see the city to the north, the coast to the to the west, and the hills hills to the east and south. It is really beautiful. It is four stories so ground plus four and we've got seventy seven rooms of accommodation in the middle and three bars, gaming, bottle shop. It's all there, I reckon.
01:13:26
Speaker 3: So the accommodation part of it's interesting because like historically, you know, if people are thinking of opening a hotel, you know that they might you know, CBD would be the first thing that think of. They might put one, you know, Anzac Highway to be close to the airport or you know Burbridge Raid or something like that. But you know, you've done the big upgrade of the Marion and that's got accommodation to put in seventy seven rooms. Now, what sort of what sort of guests are you're getting it? Is it like medical people from interstate with Flinders or what's the game?
01:14:00
Speaker 13: Well, right now I think it's a lot of people from Adelaide who want to just have a look at the hotel, which has been awesome. We've had lots of people from the local area checking out the rooms for a night. But in the long run we think it'll it's most significantly it's guests in Adelaide to visit the Flinders Medical Center. Something like fifty percent of our guests in our other suburban hotels are from regional South Australia because they obviously have to any cardiac If you need any cardiac treatment or oncology treatment from Mount Gambia, you're coming to Fling the Sea. Yeah sure, But there's also so much activity in Lonsdale Marian Shopping Center. There's a lot of activity in the South and people need somewhere to.
01:14:40
Speaker 3: Stay, and I reckon most importantly, there's got a bit of a personal touch for me because I've got to know your dad and became friends with your dad initially because the Marian was our family pub and my sister used to work there as a barmaid when she was putting herself through music at UNI. How many people are employed at the new pub? Anner, because, as I said, I was there last Friday, you've got no shortage of staff. It's a big operation.
01:15:12
Speaker 13: It's a big operation. We had one hundred and thirty staff on the payroll the week before we opened the doors because we did all our training in the week, so before we put a dollar in the till we had one hundred and thirty staff on and then as of last week we had one hundred and seventy five staff working in the hotel.
01:15:30
Speaker 3: Wow.
01:15:31
Speaker 13: And I think there's probably room for that to grow even further. So it's really exciting to see the community really getting around us and it's allowed us to employ all of these people, which is really really exciting.
01:15:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's excellent and you know, great for the South, great for the city. Formerly launched tonight, I understand the Premiere will be launching the new pub, So all the best for the launch, Anna, and all the best for the future of the new Panorama Hotel. I'm sure it'll be a great success.
01:15:59
Speaker 13: Thank you, Thank you so much for having us on good.
01:16:01
Speaker 3: On your Anna, Thank you.
01:16:05
Speaker 5: Adeen. After right, Sue's asked a question on the Noles caraffeine jingle when it does play about calling it eight double two to three double O double or double O double five. Can I tell you suit doesn't matter it's first caller through either. They all go through to Paddy and m all of those numbers. So it's says your first caller through. Whatever it works for you when you hear it, get calling and that one hundred dollars voucher could be yours. That to obviously holds true for everyone watching along on YouTube or Facebook this morning. Step up to end homelessness, Walk a mile in my books, registered or donate today Walkermile dot org dot au. The Police Commissioner coming up after eight thirty.
01:16:38
Speaker 3: We're talking before eight o'clock about the chaos with the Electoral Commission and how the government, the state government has ceded to the commission's request for a delay in the council elections. Instead of being held in November, the government is saying they should be held in April next year, then doing that through gritted teeth because they're not happy with the Electoral Commission. But it's not clear whether the two opposition parties in South Australia One Nation and the Liberals are necessarily going to go along with that. To flesh that out more, we're joined in the studio by Carlos from the inmand Valley, also known as Carlos Karimba, the State President of One Nation and MLC Carlos. Good morning, Good morning. Isn't this weird?
01:17:20
Speaker 5: This is like full circle for sick stuff, the bucketlest.
01:17:23
Speaker 3: Boys, years and years of just ringing the show like an average fund who you are in the thick of it with the party that everyone's talking about.
01:17:32
Speaker 20: I know, I just hearing you boys talking about with Koshi and Paul Lane, and I actually I'm looking forward to seeing because I think she's going to tear them in. You one, to be honest, I think it's going to be exciting.
01:17:41
Speaker 3: We'll a big day for her today at the Press Club, so we'll see how that goes. But I know you've taken a big focus on local government Carlos since you were elected, and it's something with your past history as a counselor in Victor Harbor. You've got had a professional interest in it too. Has One Nation made a hard decision yet about whether it will support this legislation. Yeah, we're not going to support it. You're not.
01:18:07
Speaker 17: No.
01:18:08
Speaker 20: The way we see it is, we're giving the Electoral Commission to get out of jail card and it really we need to start holding these departments and stuff to account. I think the biggest issue here.
01:18:19
Speaker 3: Is it's been rushed.
01:18:20
Speaker 5: It's so quick.
01:18:21
Speaker 20: No one's done an investigation. It's literally they've thrown their hands up in there and said it's too hard, and the government said, okay, well we'll suspend it without actually consulting with any of the local councils. There's going to be a lot of fallout from this. We could end up with a lot of by elections. It's just, yeah, it's not going to be good. So what should happen? Do you think elections should just happen this year? I think yeah, I think they should. I think the government should do everything, even given what happened to the state election. But they're very two, very different elections. I mean, seriously, I was actually thinking you boys could run the election out of this place. Like it's literally setting out ballots and then getting them back and then counting them. You've only got I think there's probably less than about thirty or forty percent that actually vote. There's no they've already got staff, and I'm hearing from people withinside the Electoral Commission they're actually shaking their head as to why they're.
01:19:07
Speaker 3: Not doing this.
01:19:07
Speaker 20: I think there's a lot more to this story that than we're seeing here. And I'm just really concerned that will you guys speak about how bad councils are. Can you imagine another six months of chaos within local governments and then we're still we lose elected members that might be pushing back and it just turns into disas So I think this hasn't been thought out, it's rushed.
01:19:24
Speaker 3: Did you see the LIB statement yesterday because they sound pretty lukewarm on it. Have you spoken to then yet? I know you can't speak on BAF of the Liberal Party yet, but have you got a sense of what they're going to do?
01:19:35
Speaker 20: Look, we have spoken bits and pieces. I think some of them are against some of them for it. You know, they're kind of like making their mind up. But I just think this is a really bad idea and I think there should have been more consultation and I'm just thinking of the fallout that's going to happen now. You know the government just seemed to have rushed this and yeah it's not a good idea.
01:19:53
Speaker 3: How do you like Argentina's chances in the World Cup. I'm following the soccer roos mate, that the one nation you're not allowed to bury.
01:20:00
Speaker 5: No, no, no, look a no look boys.

01:25:04
Speaker 3: Yeah.
01:25:05
Speaker 5: That's potentially the people match up the People Grand Final.
01:25:10
Speaker 3: You probably had a few accolades over a storied career career Commissioner, but it's hard to imagine any would compare to this. In the event that you do go all the way.
01:25:18
Speaker 11: Oh you talk about legacy, I think this is my legacy is getting more than through the first round. So I just anyone thinking about voting for Madra just remember he can't pull speeding fines.
01:25:34
Speaker 3: What about for people have forgot the registered I think I might have mentioned that once before, just a couple of times. Hey, can we start on a more serious note, Commissioner. Obviously, I don't know if in a logistical sense, you guys at sapold grown when you hear that a vos Arcas is being released, or probably even more controversially, somebody like Peter Liddy who has been described as unrepentant set offender, child sex offender. The government are obviously appealing that. We'll see how that lands. But for now, when the sentence has run its race and a parole decision has been made and he re enters the community, what kind of challenges does that present for SAPOL And what role do you guys play in sort of yeah, I guess protecting him and maintaining order as well well.
01:26:26
Speaker 11: I think the best way to sum it up is our responsibility is public safety. So if it's probably highly unlikely that someone being released after a significant custody or sentence is likely to present a threat to the community. But having said that, it is a decision for the parole board, and monitoring the person's compliance with the conditions upon which they're released is the responsibility of the Department of Corrections. We work with the Department of Corrections, so if there are any breaches, there's a high likelihood that we would become invol in terms of dealing with those breaches, depending on the significance of the breach. We also have an obligation to ensure the safety of the person has been released. If they're lawfully re entering into the community, then they have whether you like it or not, they have the same rights for protection and safety as everybody else, and we would be very intolerant of any vigilante behavior that would impact on the safety or security of the individual, regardless of the circumstances. So that's the reality. This person's lawfully released into the community with conditions. If they follow those conditions, then there's not a lot for us to do.
01:27:40
Speaker 3: I think the thing is as a parent, if you knew someone like that was coming into your community, you'd understandably be pretty agitated by it. But one thing that struck me when we were interviewing Chantell Thomas, the local member there last week, about this case was that the community has sort of worked out that there's a property that he owns. That is the sense of a lot of attention. But I asked her the question, but I didn't really feel like the answer got to the nub of the issue. No one necessarily knows that he's the tenant's potentially could be someone innocent person renting.
01:28:14
Speaker 11: The property, exactly right, And that's one of the reasons we caution people about taking matters into their own hands or undertaking activities that For example, we know that there's a flyer circling around the community warning people about the presence of Peter Liddy. No offenses have been committed at this stage by circulating that flyer. But there's a balance there. If you start to disclose personal particulars or addresses that you may be breaching the Child Sex Offenders Registration Act.
01:28:43
Speaker 3: So we just caution people to be very careful about what they do.
01:28:45
Speaker 11: They don't want to become the center of police attention because of their actions, which they believe are justified in the circumstances.
01:28:52
Speaker 5: You can if you've got concerns about the whereabouts of someone like a Petley. It's all transparently available now, isn't.
01:28:57
Speaker 11: It contacts how the strong police go to our website. Yeah, there is a public facing child sex offender's website. There are conditions upon which people are eligible to be put onto that public facing register, and the new legislation also entitles people to make inquiries with South Australia Police if they have concerns about the presence of someone in their community who may be a registered child sex offender.
01:29:20
Speaker 5: It's the seveneenth of June. The road title in South Australia currently sits at fifty one people. Fifty two hasn't been updated obviously. Yes, the list Highway one overnight. You're absolutely right, this is We're on a trajectory to have a shocking year, aren't we.
01:29:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, sadly we are.
01:29:38
Speaker 11: And I was thinking about this knowing I was coming in to talk to you guys today and it was fifteenth of November twenty twenty three. We were sort of dealing with a significant sort of increase in the number of people who were losing their lives on their road and I spoke, I spoke about the impact of these fatalities on families and community, and you know, you've got to reflect on whether or not the messages actually get through. And I've always said I think the biggest issue for us is complacency. You know, the vast majority of people do the right thing. We have idiots on our road and they are always the focus of our policing attention. People who deliberately break rules put other people's safety at risk. But it's those people, particularly in country locations, who fall into that level of complacency where they're not paying significant or enough attention to what they're doing, or making poor decisions based on familiarity that can have tragic consequence.
01:30:33
Speaker 5: So what's what would the breakdown be. I don't expect it entirely scientifically, but if we know day dreamers and dickheads, what are the most the worst incidents been caused.
01:30:44
Speaker 11: I think most collisions would come result from people who are generally good, solid drivers who make a poor decision or who lapse into an element of complacency in attention. In Attention is one of those scourges that can affect everybody, and the mobile phone is the biggest driver of any attention offenses that we see, and when you put another layer over that light, the weather conditions we're dealing with now, the margin of area decreases based on other drivers behaviors, weather conditions, your general sense of well being over familiarity, so that the message is just for people to switch on while they're driving and don't let it become one of those things. One example I often use is you see a new driver getting into the car for the first time with their learners. The hyper vigilance that you see from a person in those circumstances where it's a completely foreign task compared to someone who's been driving for twenty twenty five years, where it's one hand on the steering where radio on, everything else is going through your head, what's happening at work, what's happening with your family. There's got to be a balance in the middle where you're confident and relaxed, but you're paying attention to what you're doing.
01:31:59
Speaker 3: A big day, a difficult day, but a hugely important organization. Commissioner today with Police Legacy Day, and obviously you know we haven't got Sadly, tragically, we almost haven't got time to a recap of how many officers have lost their lives in this country over the last couple of years. You know Lucindale, the horror wrought by Desi Freeman, Queensland. It's a reminder of Wambilla. Yeah. Absolutely, it's a reminder that the risks you guys take every time you leave the station. Yeah.
01:32:32
Speaker 11: Look, it seems to be the case that we're thankful that we're not talking about police officers losing their lives in the execution of their duty as frequently as we see in other countries. But it seems to be the case that over the last five or six years, we are reminded of the work that police do, the courage they show, and the risks that they take and the consequences sometimes of performing their duty. And National Police Legacy Day recognizes the work of police legacy organizations right around Australia and support they provide to families of police officers who have passed away, either in the execution of their duty or while they're serving as police. It's an amazing organization. I'm the patron of Essay Police Legacy and it's something I think is really important because we talk about the Blue family, this is that part of the blue family that continues to look after families well going forward after that tragedy has occurred.
01:33:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, because it lasts forever and affects the kids and the partners, and it's important to stress to it is a charity just like any other charity to charity. So you know, if you can digdate deep today, folks jump online. Just do a simple Google search Police Legacy SA and you'll be able to sing them some day. Commissioner, thanks for coming in. We'll catch up again soon. Well no, we won't.
01:33:52
Speaker 11: It'll be about six months and one week, won't it.
01:33:54
Speaker 3: So yeah, or the best, David, We'll catch you up in January. We'll do it the holiday when when you return you might be the winner of the World Cup of South Australia. I have to come up with a new intro for you, Commissioner.
01:34:11
Speaker 1: Knockdown Bill two with metro Homes. Sell one and move on, keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes they do it all for you, Deevid.
01:34:20
Speaker 4: Penn Berthy and Will Goodings five double a breakfast.
01:34:27
Speaker 5: Four minutes to nine. It's going to be a wet day in Adelaide, ten to thirty millimeters of rain forecasts western parts of the state. If you're listening to us from the west, in the northwest Pastoral or over on Air Peninsula, it is going to be seriously, seriously wet. Above and beyond what we're getting in Adelaide, thirty to forty five meals maybe even sixty millimeters in some parts of the western part of the state today. So pack your brolly wherever you are, whatever you are doing, it is going to be a seriously wet one. Let's definitely got the fuel situation because it's been pretty good. We hope it stays there, it even comes off a little bit more. It's better to be a member with RAA Road service. The cheap spots this morning they go at Clearview dollar fifty three point five and the diesel the United at Glenunga is a dollar ninety one point five. So we'll wait and see whether there is some drop in the petrol price as a result of peace in the Middle East. But it's been in a pretty good spot at the moment, notwithstanding the fact, obviously that there's a twenty six and a half cent excise that has artificially been removed from what you'd typically be paying on your petrol price at the moment. But if it stays around that dollar fifty mug, I think there won't be too many complaints. But we'll wait and see.
01:35:43
Speaker 3: On that front. We'll tell you what a lot of weird and wonderful personages passed through our courts. I don't think there's too many that have been more eyebrow raising than Joel Richard Green. The chap on the front page of Today's Advertiser who turned up with the magistrate's court yesterday were in full military regalia. He claims that he's a war hero, that he's a decorated US Marine who won a Purple Heart awarded to US serviceman. He's up on you wounded in the in the line of jet Yeah. Can they check that out? I find out whether it's true or not. His lawyer said that if his client had never served, then there was quote a delusional belief that he was a serving officer that then paints a different color compete. It did seem to be a case of habit, you know both ways. Look, because the judge of what of the fens that this is all fake.
01:36:34
Speaker 5: He said, well, if it's fake, a whole other square away that's exactly right. So yeah, really curious case to follow that one, that's for sure. That's all from us on this Wednesday morning. Stacy Lee coming up after nine o'clock. We'll catch you tomorrow morning from six.
01:37:00
Speaker 3: I know her.
01:37:01
Speaker 4: No one's a troll.
01:37:03
Speaker 3: Bounce it, hope A sound like Christ, the last americanized.
01:37:10
Speaker 4: This is straty nowhere.
01:37:13
Speaker 3: He's any man a lot unfairs.
01:37:16
Speaker 4: This is red don't nowhere.
