00:00:22
Speaker 1: Night after six, good morning to you. Welcome to Friday on 5AA Breakfast, the 6th of November. Looks like a beautiful morning out there. Suddenly the clouds have disappeared, largely as you look out towards the hills, which is our vantage point from Level 4 here in Hindmarsh Square. And it looks like a lovely spring day is on the way. Coming up on the program this morning, we're going to be chatting with the South Australian Senior of the Year in the Australian of the Year Awards that was announced last night. We have our South Australian of the Year and our South Australian Senior of the Year. Dr Roger Hunt is going to be joining us after 6.30 this morning to talk about the remarkable work he's done in palliative care and industry. And a component of medicine that was, you will hear him talk about it. You won't believe how much it was in an early embryonic unrealized stage when he joined it. And he's a huge reason why we have so the end of life stuff that goes on now. is so much more robust than it was when his career started out. Looking forward to that chat after 6.30 today. Also, David Jones, the Adelaide Economic Development Agency chairperson, Steve Maris, is going to join us. It's going to leave a hole wherever it is, whatever's left, what will be left. There's so many outstanding questions on David Jones and whether we're going to get a different version of it in the future, a scaled back version, what it's going to look like. So Steve Maris after seven o'clock. Also, Bob Bird's going to be on the program. We might talk about There's a hole in an economic sense, but there's a hole also in the sense of our history and the culture. Going to David Jones, the Magic Cave, going in the Lyft, the people that work there, the jobs that no longer exist, that style of high-end shopping combined with eating and so forth that maybe is going the way of the dodo. Also on the program, Michael Packie in the nation's capital. We've got a big break. It's a Friday morning, so Feedback Friday, top five of the week. We've got a meat trader giveaway. Good morning to you, Stace.
00:02:09
Speaker 4: Good morning, Will.
00:02:11
Speaker 1: So a lot about David Jones this morning, which is something we've lost, but we wanted to talk about things we've found for the meat tray today. The meat tray, thanks to the great people at Olga's, 31 Highmarsh Avenue at Welland.
00:02:23
Speaker 4: Oh, I love Olga's.
00:02:24
Speaker 1: You love it. What's your favourite?
00:02:26
Speaker 4: The beef cevaps.
00:02:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was going to say, the cevaps is your thing, isn't it?
00:02:28
Speaker 5: Yep.
00:02:29
Speaker 1: Well, you can try them out yourself, Olga's, for something you've found this morning because Jess Adamson made an unexpected find and joins us from the newsroom. Jess, good morning to you.
00:02:38
Speaker 6: Morning, Will and Stace.
00:02:39
Speaker 7: How are you?
00:02:40
Speaker 1: You're always having side quests, Jess.
00:02:43
Speaker 8: To be honest, this morning I was running a bit late anyway and I saw this beautiful beagle, quite an old-looking dog, wandering down my street and I thought, oh, I don't think he or she is meant to be out.
00:02:56
Speaker 9: So I did pull over and it definitely was lost.
00:03:00
Speaker 8: So Phoenix, this beautiful beagle in the Unley Goodwood area, is now in my backyard because I didn't really know what else to do with it. I couldn't leave her on the street. So my husband and children are going to wake up and find this dog. in the backyard with our other dog, Maisie, who looked pleased to have a friend. And I thought I took a photo of Phoenix's tag so I could text the owners on my way, you know, when I got here, but I actually didn't take a very good photo.
00:03:26
Speaker 9: I can't read the numbers, so I'm waiting for Dave to wake up so I can call the owners. But in the meantime, if anyone has lost a beagle, call Phoenix. She is safely in my backyard.
00:03:35
Speaker 1: Oh, well done.
00:03:36
Speaker 10: Good on you.
00:03:37
Speaker 1: Phoenix was willing to jump in the car.
00:03:38
Speaker 9: Very keen to jump in.
00:03:40
Speaker 8: I think I might have had a schmacko in my pocket, so that may have helped.
00:03:43
Speaker 1: You're always prepared.
00:03:44
Speaker 9: I think so, yes.
00:03:45
Speaker 1: That's great. Jess, thank you.
00:03:47
Speaker 4: A pleasure.
00:03:48
Speaker 1: Phoenix the Beagle. If anyone's short a beagle this morning, or you've got a Phoenix the Beagle, or you've got friends who've got a dog called Phoenix, call us, 8223 0055, because Jess Adamson may have found it on her way in. Good Samaritan that she is. Pulled over to pick it up.
00:04:02
Speaker 4: The fact that her dog Maisie was just excited to have a friend. I think if I took a dog home and Murray was there, he would have an anxiety attack.
00:04:10
Speaker 11: Oh, really?
00:04:11
Speaker 4: Yeah, he would not like it.
00:04:12
Speaker 1: What's this all about?
00:04:12
Speaker 12: Yeah.
00:04:13
Speaker 1: Not feeling this.
00:04:14
Speaker 4: No, this is my domain.
00:04:15
Speaker 1: 8223 0000 for the Olga's Meat Tray this morning. What's something you've found?
00:04:20
Speaker 3: Oh.
00:04:20
Speaker 1: Something you have found. Could be a lost dog. Could be love. Could be, you know, a bottle in the ocean with a secret message in it. Maybe it was something- surprising in your attic or the house you bought, whatever it might be, let us know something you've found.
00:04:38
Speaker 4: We're at a key hiding stage in our house. We have to hide the keys because Molly loves playing with keys and eating them and, you know, not great. So we have to hide everyone's keys. And the other night, my husband had his keys and I remember him putting them somewhere. And as he put them, as he hid them, I thought, that's not a good place to hide those because we will both forget where they are. And I remember clocking it but didn't remember where they were.
00:05:04
Speaker 5: Yes.
00:05:05
Speaker 4: And the next day we both spent about half an hour searching for them. He ended up putting them behind some wine bottles on the, you know, little wine cabinet that we've got. He hid them in the back behind there, which is just so out of the way and a place you would never think to find them. But we were both searching for ages and ended up finding them eventually.
00:05:23
Speaker 1: Oh, that's good. Children-related hiding things I can remember. I can relate to, but most often it's my daughter that's hiding things that I have to then find in this twisted game of hide and seek. Like my wedding ring, which I take off when I get home and I leave it up on the bench. And at one point earlier this year, I didn't find it for, it was probably three weeks. We looked every tour of the house apart. My wife and I have a very bad history with rings. I've lost my original wedding ring. I lost it on the beach at Normanville. many years ago. So I got PTSD from this.
00:05:56
Speaker 13: Yeah.
00:05:57
Speaker 1: And I knew she'd played with it. So I knew it was probably somewhere in the house. I couldn't find it for weeks. And then one day we were cleaning some things up and these little dolls were sitting in a bunch of shelves and they all had things she'd put on their heads as little hats. And one of them was wearing my wedding ring as its hat.
00:06:14
Speaker 12: As a hat.
00:06:15
Speaker 1: As its hat. And I said to her, Rosie, I've been looking for that. Why didn't you tell me you had it? She looked at me like, well, you wanted your ring. That's a hat.
00:06:25
Speaker 4: That's a hat.
00:06:26
Speaker 1: You should have asked for a hat. Things you've found. Let's go to Mitchum. Warwick, good morning.
00:06:33
Speaker 13: G'day, everyone.
00:06:35
Speaker 14: My dad, it wasn't me, it was my dad, he went through Ancestry.com and put his DNA and all that in and found out.
00:06:43
Speaker 7: He had a brother.
00:06:44
Speaker 1: No way. Where was his brother, Warwick? Like, in Adelaide?
00:06:49
Speaker 14: No, well, he was living in Perth. He's like, because we're all from out Gambia, and it sounds like we found out Grandpa had a bit of a dally on back in the New Year's of 49, 50, which predated my Nana, luckily.
00:07:04
Speaker 1: Okay.
00:07:05
Speaker 14: So when Nana found out, she was all fine about it. Grandpa had long passed since we found out.
00:07:11
Speaker 15: But yeah.
00:07:12
Speaker 1: So, was he able to find... Was he able to find his brother Warwick because his brother had also done the test on Ancestry.com? How does that work?
00:07:23
Speaker 14: That was exactly how it was done. But it was actually Dad's auntie who first discovered it and then came to.
00:07:32
Speaker 13: They put.
00:07:32
Speaker 14: Their DNA in it as well.
00:07:34
Speaker 15: And they were the.
00:07:35
Speaker 14: First ones to get the match.
00:07:36
Speaker 1: My goodness.
00:07:38
Speaker 14: And, yeah, so he lives over in America and Dad's been seen over in.
00:07:43
Speaker 16: seen him and he's planning to.
00:07:44
Speaker 14: Go and see him again next year. And, yeah, so I found out we've got an Uncle Phil, which we never knew about.
00:07:51
Speaker 9: There you go.
00:07:52
Speaker 1: Sometimes the first Meat Tray Friday call of the morning really sets a high standard and yours has done precisely that, Warwick. That is an unbelievable story. Thank you. What a thing to have found, a long-lost family member.
00:08:03
Speaker 4: That's why I'm scared to do Ancestry or any of those things. I haven't– I don't think I could do it.
00:08:09
Speaker 1: Well, I always– I confess I've always been sceptical about the science of it and the blow in the bag thing and the DNA. What are you getting back? A brother. Maybe I'm wrong to be sceptical. Maybe a brother. Let's go to Thevenin. Sam, what have you lost?
00:08:26
Speaker 17: I didn't lose it. My sister lost a set of house keys. Now, on the house keys had a phone number. You wouldn't believe a year later... The girl from reception at 5AA rings up. She goes, hello, I've got your keys. They're in my drawer here at reception. Apparently, Graham Corns found them a year ago, and he said to the girl at reception, are these keys still here? Ring up this person. So she must have come into the studio to pick something up. She dropped them on the ground. and they win reception at 5AA.
00:09:07
Speaker 3: That is unbelievable.
00:09:09
Speaker 1: Sam, magnificent.
00:09:11
Speaker 4: Well done to Gina. She does great work, Gina.
00:09:13
Speaker 1: Nothing gets by Gina. She's the best in the business. Tony and Seton, what did you find?
00:09:17
Speaker 12: Good morning.
00:09:19
Speaker 13: I purchased a house in Seton, and I had a cellar. So I went down into the cellar after the house was sold and the people left. I found a spilt. Now, if you don't know what a steel is, it's the alcohol.
00:09:36
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
00:09:38
Speaker 13: A grappa machine.
00:09:39
Speaker 18: It was to make grappa.
00:09:40
Speaker 13: So I pulled it out, and there was nothing wrong with it. It was all copper. It had all the connections for the gas and everything underneath. So whoever was there before was making their own alcohol.
00:09:51
Speaker 1: Have you fired it up, Tony?
00:09:54
Speaker 13: I didn't have the guts. If you get caught with the bloody thing, it was like, a $ 10, 000 fire.
00:10:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, because you're basically running a speakeasy at that point, aren't you? You're sort of getting around prohibition.
00:10:06
Speaker 13: Yeah, you throw your own grapes in there, like after you've done the wine. You put your grapes in there and then you heat them up and then it's got like this coil and it was coming out and dropping into a bucket or whatever and you heat it up with gas, you see? No, I didn't have the guts to make it.
00:10:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I reckon you're not allowed to put hair on your chest, that alcohol.
00:10:22
Speaker 5: Really?
00:10:22
Speaker 4: You're not allowed to make your own alcohol?
00:10:23
Speaker 1: No, I don't think you are. I think those things have a habit of going badly, that machinery too.
00:10:29
Speaker 19: Right.
00:10:31
Speaker 1: Good stuff, Tony. That's fantastic. Let's go to Joe. What did you find, Joe?
00:10:35
Speaker 20: Well, my parents came out in 1948 to settle out at Salisbury on the highway down there and already had a property down the road, a big vineyard, and we had the one down further in the middle of the road. And Dad would have been about probably early 60s. Dad was putting down a new shed. Olympic industries just started off then. They were only a one-man band sort of thing. So he ordered a shed from them and putting it down. He's putting out the pillars and digging the holes for where the pillars went before he put the structure up and that. And he's going down with a shovel and all of a sudden he strikes this bit of metal Anyway, he digs around very carefully. Dad was one of those people who knew what he was doing when he was in construction for the animal farms. He digs up a grenade, a live grenade.
00:11:20
Speaker 17: What?
00:11:20
Speaker 20: So quickly, my sister throws up. The old sergeant down there in the saucer comes out of his sidecar and motorbike and puts a bit of dandruff on him and takes the damn grenade away. And if he wasn't shitting bricks, I don't know who was.
00:11:38
Speaker 1: Well, you see these days when they find live munitions and things, it looks like it's a whole operation to extract them from the area.
00:11:45
Speaker 21: Yeah.
00:11:46
Speaker 1: They get the bomb squad in.
00:11:47
Speaker 8: Yeah.
00:11:47
Speaker 1: Wasn't there one recently in Port Adelaide in a fireplace? So they found some form of unexploded ordnance.
00:11:54
Speaker 11: Right.
00:11:55
Speaker 4: They've got to set up an exclusion zone.
00:11:57
Speaker 1: That's right.
00:11:57
Speaker 4: And get the bomb squad in.
00:11:58
Speaker 1: They find them on continental Europe every time they build a new building. You know, their version of. Walker Towers. They dig it out and they find six bombs underneath it. They're unexploded and it sort of delays construction. Let's go to Birkenhead. Frank, what did you find?
00:12:12
Speaker 12: Good morning, Will.
00:12:15
Speaker 22: When my wife went to, we went to Strathalby and they're full of antique stores. I love looking at antique stores.
00:12:22
Speaker 15: One of the.
00:12:23
Speaker 22: Ladies in there said there's an antique store further down. So I went walking with my wife and to search this antique store not far from this other one down the main street. And I was walking along the road there and I looked down and it was a wallet. I opened it up and it had $ 250 in it. And as a good Samaritan, now I could have gone to the police station, but I said, look, I'm going to check this address out with the GPS in the car. And I went around and I knocked on the door and this dear man, young man, came to the door and I said, look, have you lost something, mate? He said, Oh, hang on, hang on.
00:13:05
Speaker 15: Yes, I have.
00:13:06
Speaker 22: I've lost my wallet. And I said, well, I have found your wallet. And he said, look, he was ever so thankful. He had a disability and he was ever so thankful. It's like $ 500 it was to him. But it was $ 250 and he thanked me so much. And I returned it to him.
00:13:25
Speaker 1: You're a good citizen, Frank. That's a lovely thing to do, mate. Well done. Well done. You don't know how much the person who had got that money out needed it, what it meant to them, why they had that much cash in there, what was the first place.
00:13:36
Speaker 4: And that's really going out of your way to go to their house.
00:13:38
Speaker 1: To deliver it to them.
00:13:39
Speaker 5: Absolutely.
00:13:40
Speaker 4: Well done, Frank.
00:13:42
Speaker 1: To the point about unexploded ordnance, Andrew sent us a text saying, a family member found a World War II bomb. It was at the bottom of a service pit in my auntie's garage, and it was live. The bomb squad had to disarm it.
00:13:55
Speaker 4: And we have another one.
00:13:56
Speaker 23: No.
00:13:57
Speaker 4: We were doing a project in Hindmarsh for the city of Chelster and found a live grenade. The army was called in to remove it a few years ago.
00:14:04
Speaker 1: How many live grenades were there knocking around in Adelaide at one point? That's nuts. Clearly a lot. What did you find, folks? Could win you the meat tray. Thanks to Olga's Fine Foods this morning. 31 Hindmarsh Avenue. Well, and keep this course coming in 8223 0000.
00:14:17
Speaker 2: Knock down, build two with Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes, they do it all for you.
00:14:25
Speaker 24: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:14:30
Speaker 1: 27 after 6, some remarkable stories coming through for the meat trade this morning. Thanks to Olga's, we're asking you what you've found. Jess Adamson kicked us off by finding a beagle called Phoenix on the way to work this morning. She's still looking for the owner. If you know anyone with a dog named Phoenix, an older beagle, give us a call because we would love to reunite, and so would Jess, to reunite you with your dog. Let's go to Modbury Heights. Paul, what have you found?
00:14:53
Speaker 7: Morning, Will and Stace. Well, back in the 50s, my dad emigrated across from Austria and down at Semaphore Beach. He found a beautiful old Amiga watch, or it wasn't old back then. It was only about 10 years old then. Handed it into the police station and ended up getting ownership because no one had claimed for it. But, you know, in the, I guess, what's the spirit of him finding things from beyond the grave when he passed away about 10 years ago, we'd borrowed my parents' caravan to go away on a trip somewhere and my wife had lost her engagement ring. We were quite devastated by it and, you know, what to do. Anyway, my dad's wake in the backyard of Mum and Dad's old house in Windsor Gardens. My little second niece, you know, all of two years old, was playing in the caravan. And, you know, after about a year of this ring being disappeared, I reckon my dad from beyond the grave told her where to find it. Yeah, he pulled out this little engagement ring.
00:15:55
Speaker 1: Still finding things.
00:15:56
Speaker 15: Yeah. Yeah, still finding things.
00:15:58
Speaker 1: What a lovely story, Paul. That's fantastic, mate. You're in the running to win the meat trade this morning. Paul from Modbury Heights. The weather today, 11.4 degrees outside of the city at the moment. A hem for a top of 23. Mostly sunny. Looks like a really pretty day. He's on the way. Tom Renz in the 5AA Breakfast Studio. Agostino Mitsubishi's demo clearance is on now. Saving the Pajero Sport, ASX, Triton and Outlander, Nailsworth and Mawson Lakes.
00:16:19
Speaker 3: Morning, Rennie. Morning, Will.
00:16:20
Speaker 1: Morning, Stacey. Happy Friday.
00:16:22
Speaker 10: It's the end of an era to some degree in the world of football, soccer. Cristiano Ronaldo, 41 years of age. He's retired from Portugal from international football. So I know he's had his critics. I know it's probably perhaps a little bit overdue with regards to what he's done, but My goodness, he's one of the best we've ever seen.
00:16:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, one of the best. Ange Postacoglu is his current manager, I think.
00:16:43
Speaker 10: That's right.
00:16:44
Speaker 1: That's right.
00:16:44
Speaker 10: So he'd probably be secretly quite happy because it means you get more of him and perhaps better of him because he's not going to have to focus energy elsewhere. 234 appearances for his country, the most. 146 goals scored against 49 countries. Six World Cups he played in. That's World Cup finals, which is amazing. And just for reference, Messi scored 126 goals for Argentina. Ronaldo, 146. Look, I think because of the team success, Messi will be regarded as a better player. But regardless, an extraordinary career from Ronaldo. Just such a powerful, strong player. And look, those stats don't obviously include all of his stuff at Manchester United, Juventus, Real Madrid, where he's been a dominant player. club player for two decades.
00:17:30
Speaker 1: So he did it with three of the big leagues there.
00:17:33
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:17:33
Speaker 1: Which I rate really highly because the leagues play differently. Premier League's really physical. Spain's really technical. Historically, he's quite slow, but I don't think he is these days. But that shows you're a genius if he can do that.
00:17:45
Speaker 10: He's gone to all corners of Europe to play some of the best football you're going to see in our generation. So he's done brilliantly. And it kind of ties in with the other thing I wanted to bring up this morning, Will, and I know you'll be all over it. So we see the end of a dominant player of his generation along with Lionel Messi. But there's another one that's just starting to really take the world by storm in the NBA. And his name is Victor Wembenyama. So yesterday, and I know you would have seen this, he plays for the San Antonio Spurs. They beat the Dallas Mavericks 112 to 111. So, you know, reasonable sort of scoring game. Not out of this world. Sometimes you get 140 points a side. But he scored out of that 112-111. 52 points, so almost half his side score. 24 rebounds, 8 blocks. It's Wilt Chamberlain-type numbers, best since 1973. He is going to be a freak for the next 10, 15 years.
00:18:41
Speaker 1: The only thing standing in the way of him being one of the three or four best players of all time, even right now you can say that easily, is health. Because someone that big, being able to play for a long time would be the only risk. Because someone that big moving the way he does... they call him the alien because it doesn't look like a human being. It looks like someone, he's, you know, something from a sci-fi movie. He's escaped and is now playing basketball.
00:19:03
Speaker 10: And he's a hard worker too, isn't he?
00:19:04
Speaker 1: Absolutely.
00:19:05
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:19:05
Speaker 1: And he's got this really competitive kind of, he doesn't want to be anyone's mate, sort of old fashioned approach to playing sport, which is just great. It's good for basketball.
00:19:13
Speaker 8: Wow.
00:19:13
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:19:13
Speaker 1: He's a freak. It's good to watch. He's just out of this world. Good on you, Renny. Thanks, guys.
00:19:21
Speaker 2: Knock down, build two with Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes, they do it.
00:19:28
Speaker 25: All for you.
00:19:29
Speaker 24: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:19:33
Speaker 1: 20 to 7. Jess Adams found a dog on her way to work this morning, a beagle named Phoenix. So we thought this morning for the meat tray, thanks to the great people at Olga's, we'd ask you about something you found And my goodness, we heard some remarkable stories, lost wedding rings, long lost relatives that people have found, a whole manner of things. In fact, someone's keys who were lost and found right here at 5AA. Let's go to Windsor Gardens. John, what did you find?
00:20:08
Speaker 18: Good morning, team. And Will, sorry, in 1975 at the test against England at the Adelaide Oval, I can't remember exactly the day, it was the end of the day, waited till the crowd disappeared as I got up from my seat at the school board in, looked down and there was this wallet, extremely fat wallet. Opened it up, believe it or not, there was $ 700 in it. And I'm thinking, whoa. So I looked through it to find out whose wallet it was. Couldn't find anything except that it was a Qantas ticket. And he had travelled from Melbourne to Adelaide, obviously, to see the day test, and then on to Darwin that night. And I thought, well, back in those days, no mobile phone. He had no indication of who he was. So I rang Qantas, spoke to a real person, and they were able to track him down.
00:21:03
Speaker 3: Wow.
00:21:04
Speaker 18: So I gave my home address in prospect, and I said... If you find him, you can turn up at this address and I'll be there. So about half an hour later after I got home, he rocks up and he was forever grateful because that flight ticket to Darwin was for that evening. And I'm thinking, I'm in the money here, 700 bucks, I'll take 50%. No, he gave me 20 bucks, but he was extremely grateful. A very happy man. And he got the whole contents of his wallet back, which I was pretty pleased about.
00:21:36
Speaker 1: No, well done, John. Good on you. It's lovely hearing these stories of good Samaritan listeners as well that have helped people out, that have found themselves in a bit of a bind because they've found wallets and other important bits and pieces. Nice to hear about good people doing wonderful things, which is also what the South Australian of the Year Awards is about, recognising good South Australians doing remarkable things. The title of the 2027... Australian of the Year for South Australia, went to Dr Fariba Benya-Willison, who's an endogynocologist and reconstructive surgeon. The award for South Australia's Senior Australian of the Year went to our next guest, Dr Roger Hunt, who is a palliative medicine specialist and received the award for his dedication to easing the suffering of people at the end of their lives for more than four decades. Dr Roger Hunt, good morning to you and congratulations.
00:22:26
Speaker 11: Oh, good morning.
00:22:27
Speaker 26: Thank you, Will. Yeah, it was a good night. It's good to celebrate the development of palliative care and voluntary assisted dying. Things that we need, particularly as baby boomers, you know, coming up to their 70s and 80s. And as we approach the end of life, we need to sort of confront our mortality and all the challenges that.
00:22:55
Speaker 11: Go with that.
00:22:56
Speaker 1: I was reading about you. You said the development of palliative care. It sounds like, as an outsider, you've very much been there from the beginning of the development of this palliative care because you founded the palliative care. You helped establish Palliative Care Australia. When you were coming into the industry, how different was it from what palliative care means in South Australia in 2026?
00:23:22
Speaker 26: Yeah, well, I started in that area in 1984. We didn't even use the word palliative care. It was called hospice care back then. And that was a time when medicine was really focused on curing disease, and it still is, of course, but the fact that people were dying was not well handled by hospitals and medicine in those days. People were often treated as if they would get better when they weren't going to get better or they were neglected in favor of the patients who were getting better. So people who were suffering with things like cancer and motor neurone disease were to some extent not getting the care that they needed. So the whole sort of palliative care movement began to grow. In those very early days, we were pioneers. We had to find ways to try and make people comfortable. But we learned to do it over time, and the movement grew.
00:24:33
Speaker 11: More and more.
00:24:33
Speaker 26: People came into that area to do what's needed for people at the end of life, to try and make them comfortable. to help their families understand what's happening, to find as much peace as possible. You know, suffering in those times can be a real challenge to deal with.
00:25:00
Speaker 4: And I noticed that you mentioned voluntary assisted dying as well, which is something else that you've been advocating for. A lot of people would think, you know, palliative care and voluntary assisted dying are maybe, you know, opposing philosophies. How do you see them? Do you think that way?
00:25:22
Speaker 26: Not now. They're converging now. For many, many years, I first started to advocate for voluntary assisted dying back in the early 90s. At that time, the palliative care community was very much against it. and the medical profession was as well, the AMA and churches, some very strong lobby groups. But the patients who I saw who convinced me that it was the right thing for some people, patients who were suffering, they could, you know, despite the best palliative care efforts we could provide, they were still having it difficult and looking at the road ahead of them, they would think, well, why do I have to go through that? I want control. I've seen other people go through it, perhaps their father or other people with a similar illness, and they say, I want an exit. Can you help me? And of course, at that time, it's a criminal offence to help people in that situation. which seemed crazy that a compassionate response should be considered criminal. So I thought there had to be some law reform around voluntary assisted dying and advocated for that. But there was a lot of opposition for a long time. It took decades of debate and fight and 50 bills into Australian Parliament's But finally, with leadership from people like Andrew Denton nationally, current Attorney General and Deputy Premier now, Kai Ma, when he was in the opposition, these chaps, Kai has watched his mum die, Andrew, his own father. They said, we've got to make a difference. And through their efforts and many other people's as well. Um, eventually we convinced our parliamentarians that there, there, there needs to be a choice for people at the end of life. And so I think that's, that's, uh, been really beneficial to have that available and palliative care and voluntary euthanasia are now sitting comfortably together. Um, It's not a perfect system by any means, but it needs to be refined and improved. But we're getting there.
00:28:08
Speaker 1: Well, indeed. And you've been instrumental in an area of science that, look, it's something we're all going to have to deal with at one time or another. And it's made all the more endurable because of the wonderful work that you've done over the course of your career. Dr. Roger Hunt, the Senior Australian of the Year for South Australia for his work. in palliative care, which was hospice care when he first started out and sort of transitioned into something much more sophisticated and better understood today through his tireless efforts. Remarkable, brave line of work to want to go into.
00:28:40
Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
00:28:42
Speaker 1: Thank God there are people who are built that way that say, I want to work with people in that stage of life because I tell you what, it wouldn't be for everyone.
00:28:49
Speaker 4: It wouldn't be easy, and especially when he was doing a lot of his advocacy work in the early days, in the 90s, it would especially not have been easy.
00:28:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely. Fantastic gong. I hope he goes a long way in the Australian of the Year Awards as well. All right, shall we talk about the weather this morning? We get a bit of sunshine today, mostly sunny, 11.4 degrees outside with a top of 23 expected today. Other than that, not much to talk about. Maybe a slight chance of a shower this evening, but it won't be much. Light winds through the morning becoming west to southwesterly, 15 to 25 k's an hour in the early afternoon. It'll become southerly in the late evening. Seas below a metre, the swell west to southwesterly, that's below a metre as well. And the sunset tonight will be at 7.49. Over the weekend, 20 degrees tomorrow night. no rain. 24 and sunny on Sunday. Looks to be the pick of the days. And then early next week, we get some more. 28 on Monday, 26 Tuesday. 21 and cloudy on Wednesday as it drops back a bit. And then 25 on Thursday. No rain on the forecast next week, but the day's... steadily between 24 and 28 over the course, or 21 and 28 over the course of the next week or so. All right, let's head to Safe Pulse. City Constable Rebecca Stokes joins us. Rebecca, there's been a serious crash at Flagstaff Hill.
00:30:07
Speaker 27: Yes, this happened just before 4am this morning. Emergency services were called to Manning Road at Flagstaff Hill following reports of a crash. This collision sparked a fire which was extinguished by MFS crews. Emergency services remain at the scene this morning and Manning Road is closed between Emerald Street and Topaz Drive. Our major crash investigators have arrived at the scene and they'll be there for several hours examining the scene and investigating the circumstances behind this crash. We have advised buses to avoid the area so this may impact on commuters and we're just asking everyone to avoid the area where possible and follow directions from police at the scene.
00:30:42
Speaker 4: Okay, and a high-range drink driver has been caught at Mansfield Park, Rebecca.
00:30:46
Speaker 27: Yeah, police received a report of a BMW sedan speeding on Old Port Road at Port Adelaide just before midnight last night. Patrols located the vehicle stopped at the service station on Grand Junction Road at Mansfield Park a few minutes later and the driver's a 43-year-old Esselstyn woman. She recorded a blood alcohol reading of 0.230, so nearly five times the legal limit there. She's been reported for drink driving, issued with a 12-month loss of licence. She'll be summonsed to appear in court at a later date and we also impounded her car and towed that from the scene, so that'll be impounded for 28 days.
00:31:18
Speaker 1: Good job.
00:31:18
Speaker 3: All right.
00:31:19
Speaker 1: Thank you, Rebecca. Senior Constable Rebecca Stokes there from SAPOL. It's 8 to 7. Time to check traffic for the first time this morning. The Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Performance Hybrid has arrived at Jarvis Toyota, combining iconic strength with advanced hybrid power.
00:31:32
Speaker 3: Knockdown.
00:31:33
Speaker 2: Build two with Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes.
00:31:39
Speaker 3: They do it all for you.
00:31:41
Speaker 24: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:31:48
Speaker 1: Four minutes to seven. I thought this was a really interesting story, a sign of the times. The nation's top alcohol body has approached the Albanese government with a sort of warning about alcohol quickly following tobacco down a path of domination by organised crime and the black market if it continues to levy an excise on spirits, the likes of which we've seen go up each and every year in Australia. Steve Fanner is the Executive Director of the Spirits Council of Australia. Steve, good morning to you.
00:32:19
Speaker 12: Good morning, Will.
00:32:21
Speaker 1: Is this theoretical, this discussion, in terms of we've seen what happens when you continually tax a legal product and there are illegal alternatives, or are you seeing the emergence of a black market when it comes to alcohol?
00:32:34
Speaker 28: Yeah, the parallels are pretty clear. We've seen what's happened with tobacco in recent years, where high prices have priced people out of legal products and where organised crime has been able to gain a foothold. We should be learning from that experience rather than allowing history to repeat itself. And let's be clear about what we're talking here because it's quite significant. The ATO every year publishes a report that estimates tax gaps in various areas, including alcohol. So this is the government's estimate of revenue it's lost because of tax avoidance. And for several years now, that alcohol tax gap has been rising. It was $ 550 million in 2019, and it was ticking higher every year, up to $ 860 million in 2024. The ATO has just put out a testament for 2025 at $ 1. 23 billion, so a nearly 50% increase in one report. It's a massive shift, and it's an admission that we are starting to lose control of the alcohol market in the same way we lost control of the tobacco market.
00:33:40
Speaker 4: How do you know that that tax gap was because of this and not because of fewer people drinking?
00:33:48
Speaker 28: Yeah, the tax gap measures activity in the market where the government should expect to receive excise. It's not a measure of revenue. At the same time as the government's been revising upwards the tax gap, the tax that it's missing out on collecting, it's also writing down it's expected receipts from spirits excise at the same time. So what we're seeing is a shift in consumption away from spirits that are subject to those very high taxes of about $ 31 a bottle in excise and towards a growing illicit and untaxed sector of the market, which is Extremely concerning because apart from depriving government of revenue that could be used for services, that undercuts the legitimate players in the industry and potentially exposes consumers to unregulated products.
00:34:50
Speaker 1: So would you like to see the total tax reduced or just a pause on the indexing component that sees it automatically raised every year?
00:34:59
Speaker 28: There's no question that excessive taxes on spirits are the key driver here. Anytime you've got the majority of a sticker price paid by the consumer going not to the materials or labour that go into making the product, but to the tax man, you're creating a huge incentive for tax avoidance. The first thing the government could do is put the brakes on the rapid tax increases that we've been seeing every six months. With inflation running high, these increases all add substantially to the costs paid by consumers. a quarter of all the excise on spirits has been added just from those regular six-monthly increases in the last five years. The government could also conduct a proper review of alcohol tax settings because that hasn't been done for a long time, and the model we've got now was developed more than 40 years ago and is no longer fit for purpose.
00:35:50
Speaker 1: All right, Steve, thank you. Steve Fannin from the Spirits Council of Australia. 5AA News is on the way. We'll take some more Meat Tray Friday calls on the other side of it. Things you've found might win you an Olga's Meat Tray on this Friday morning.
00:36:06
Speaker 18: Good morning, Shane and Will.
00:36:09
Speaker 3: Knock down. Build two.
00:36:11
Speaker 2: With Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes. They do it all for you.
00:36:17
Speaker 24: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:36:22
Speaker 1: Eight after seven. Good morning to you if you're joining us for the first time on this Friday morning, the 6th of November, Meat Tray Friday. We have the Olga's Fine Foods Meat Trader Giveaway. It was inspired by a chat we had with Jess Adamson from the newsroom right at the start of the program. Have a listen.
00:36:37
Speaker 8: This morning, I was running a bit late anyway, and I saw this beautiful beagle, quite an old-looking dog, wandering down my street, and I thought, oh, I don't think he or she is meant to be out.
00:36:49
Speaker 9: So I did pull over, and it definitely was lost.
00:36:53
Speaker 8: So Phoenix, this beautiful beagle in the Unley-Goodwood area, is now in my backyard.
00:36:59
Speaker 1: The meat tray, we've been asking you about things you've found, because Jess found Phoenix the beagle.
00:37:03
Speaker 3: Well.
00:37:04
Speaker 1: In an update, we can tell you we've found Ralph, who's Phoenix's owner. Ralph, good morning to you.
00:37:11
Speaker 11: Good morning, guys.
00:37:12
Speaker 15: How are you?
00:37:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, good, Ralph. This must be a big relief, mate.
00:37:15
Speaker 29: Well, I've been up.
00:37:16
Speaker 30: Since two in the morning driving around, looking like I was going to steal something up at Anunni and Wazel and Goodwood. Yeah, but he's all happy now, and he's just had breakfast.
00:37:29
Speaker 1: How did he get out, Ralph?
00:37:31
Speaker 30: Yeah, thank you very much.
00:37:32
Speaker 1: How did he get out?
00:37:34
Speaker 30: The tour door has a mechanism that if something goes underneath it, it'll bounce back up. And I came in late from martial arts, and obviously one of the dogs was there and had gone back up and didn't notice, and.
00:37:50
Speaker 15: They ran out.
00:37:51
Speaker 30: So it wasn't just him. It was another dog, Susie, that ran out.
00:37:54
Speaker 1: Oh, did you find Susie?
00:37:55
Speaker 30: Susie we found about 3 in the morning, not far from the BP station. on King William Road on one of the underground car parks on Greenhill Road and she was really scared because she's only little. Phoenix, you know, he's 14 years old but I think he was.
00:38:14
Speaker 12: Really happy when he saw me this morning.
00:38:16
Speaker 30: I don't know, Jess, what was he doing when you found him?
00:38:19
Speaker 4: Jess is, we've got Jess here. She's just Yeah, Jess, come in.
00:38:24
Speaker 1: We'll get Jess. Jess is the real hero here because Jess pulled over to get him and she reads the news for us. Ralph and Jess is in the studio now. You're, chatting with.
00:38:32
Speaker 30: Yeah, I listen to you guys.
00:38:33
Speaker 12: I know what you're saying.
00:38:35
Speaker 1: Oh, sorry, Ralph.
00:38:36
Speaker 19: Morning, Ralph.
00:38:37
Speaker 8: As to your question, what was Phoenix doing? He looked pretty happy just trotting along the street that I live on. As I said to Will and Stace earlier this morning, I was kind of looking for his owner, just checking that he was with somebody and then I realised that he wasn't. And I did say to the guys earlier this morning, I think I had a smacko in my pocket from.
00:38:59
Speaker 9: Our dog, so it wasn't hard to entice him over.
00:39:02
Speaker 26: No.
00:39:03
Speaker 30: Yeah, beagles always want to eat. But he's a very friendly dog. He's so placid. And it's actually not my dog.
00:39:12
Speaker 12: It's my mother's dog. We've just taken care of her for a little while because, you know, she's getting elderly.
00:39:17
Speaker 9: Oh, he's a beautiful dog.
00:39:19
Speaker 30: Yeah, he has been a lovely dog. And thanks a lot, Jess, for picking him up.
00:39:24
Speaker 9: My pleasure, Ralph. It was a great start to our day. I'm glad it has a happy ending.
00:39:28
Speaker 30: Yeah, I'm looking at it.
00:39:30
Speaker 23: Now.
00:39:30
Speaker 3: They're all happy.
00:39:32
Speaker 1: Good on you, Jess. Well done. And good on you, Ralph. Inadvertently, mate, as a listener, you know now you're actually in the running to win the meat tray because you found something. You found something.
00:39:43
Speaker 31: Congratulations.
00:39:44
Speaker 30: I'll have to give it to him.
00:39:47
Speaker 1: Good on you, Ralph. Glad the story had a happy ending. Not one, but two dogs lost in the middle of the night. Both now accounted for. One, thanks to the generosity of our wonderful Newsreader Jess Adamson, who pulled over and got Phoenix into the car and got him a schmacko and back to Ralph.
00:40:03
Speaker 4: I have it on good authority as well that Jess's husband, Dave, was very confused when he woke up this morning and saw a beagle out in the backyard.
00:40:13
Speaker 1: What a remarkable morning.
00:40:14
Speaker 4: Imagine that, waking up and there just being a dog.
00:40:16
Speaker 27: Ah, honey.
00:40:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, sorry, what's going on? Jess has done it again. She's gone and found a stray.
00:40:25
Speaker 11: All right.
00:40:26
Speaker 1: Let's talk about David Jones. We've been following the story. Our coverage of the story actually started a number of weeks back when there started to be some signs that the financial strain of running that business might lead to a buckling. And it did happen yesterday, placed into administration. And from what comes here, there's been multiple models imagined about a stripped back version of David Jones, someone coming in to buy David Jones. What we do know is it won't be the David Jones we've known for a long, long time. And there is the potential there is no David Jones. It's all on the table right now. Steve Marris is the managing director of the Marris Group, but also is the Adelaide Economic Development Agency chair and joins us now. Steve, good morning to you.
00:41:09
Speaker 15: Good morning, guys.
00:41:10
Speaker 12: How are you?
00:41:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're well. We're going to talk about the nostalgia of David Jones before 8 o'clock today and how central a role it's played in getting people into the city and into Adelaide and to Rundle Mall in an economic sense. What are we losing... What are we losing in the city and in the suburbs if David Jones was to entirely disappear or become this sort of really stripped down, stripped back version?
00:41:35
Speaker 12: Yeah, look, well, let's hope that doesn't happen.
00:41:37
Speaker 1: Of course.
00:41:38
Speaker 12: And when you're in voluntary administration, I mean, anything's possible. So the worst case scenario, if that was to happen, yeah, that wouldn't be great. I mean, you're speaking to a tragic, nostalgic here yourself. So I remember... the department stores in their heyday. We go back to probably the 70s and 80s when they were, you know, really, really strong. And what we had around the city in terms of, you know, Harris Scarfing and Rumble Mall, obviously John Martins, and you go back a little bit further in time and you've got the likes of, you know, Miller Anderson and Moors and Cox and Foy. So when you look at what we've got now left in the city, it's obviously Meyer and David Jones. I think if you ask any of your South Australian listeners what would they like to see, they would definitely want David Jones to come back or be salvaged in some state. They would see its continuation.
00:42:35
Speaker 4: What can we glean from why this is happening with David Jones? Do you think, as an expert in this industry, it's more about the business model of David Jones? Is online shopping having that big of an impact that such a a retail department store giant like DJ's can break?
00:42:55
Speaker 12: Yeah, Stacey, I think there's a combination of factors there. When you look at the, you know, the size of these department stores, I mean, we're talking about, you know, really, really big pieces of real estate that they operate from. And, you know, you've just got to wonder whether or not going forward, we're going to see a sort of a cut down version of those spaces. Typically, in the past, you'd go into any of these department stores, wherever it was in the country or, should I say, the world. You're talking three, four, five, six levels of retail. I'm just not sure whether that model stands up going forward. You talk about why. We've got some pretty significant cost of living pressures. People's disposable incomes can only go a certain way.
00:43:43
Speaker 15: And so far.
00:43:44
Speaker 12: So I think you've got sort of the perfect cocktail here for some sort of restructure, and this is probably around the time for it to happen. But as I keep saying, we'd hate to see David Jones be lost, not only to South Australia, but right across the country.
00:44:00
Speaker 1: We're being nostalgic of it, and you said you're nostalgic yourself, Steve, about the role that this business has played here in South Australia. But if we're being if we're being entirely scientific about it, are you confident that even if it was to disappear or evolve into something smaller, that its space and its place in our economy and physically its place and space in our shopping centres and retail districts would be replaced by a number of smaller things, or is the sector shrinking, and this is just the biggest example of it?
00:44:31
Speaker 12: Yeah, look, I mean, if you just look at the past, Will, and you look at what we've done... when we've lost other, uh, you know, significant department stores. I mean, those buildings have been remodeled into other things, be they, you know, be they, uh, smaller retail, uh, footprints. But, um, you know, I think you've got this thing in Adelaide and certainly around the country where once upon a time, you know, people traverse floors to get to, to upper levels to do their shopping. And I'm just not sure if that's sort of, you know, the way of the future. Um, And you look at where David Jones is now. I mean, that was John Martin. What happened to the old David Jones building? You had that repurchased. Same with the old Harris Garfield. And so, look, there are some clever things that can be done. And we've got to be looking at new uses for these spaces because if you fast track 20, 30 years down the path, I'm just not sure that you're going to see anything like what we've got today in the retail environment.
00:45:31
Speaker 24: Interesting.
00:45:33
Speaker 4: Interesting. Oh, that's a whole other chat. I'd love to talk to you about what you think the buildings should be used for. I'd love to live in an apartment in the mall. I think that'd be great.
00:45:42
Speaker 12: Yeah, well, I mean, they are the things, Stacey, that building owners will look at going forward. I mean, just by way of statistics, we've got about 174,000 people employed in our city who come in virtually every day. And when I say 174,000, that's also based on those who are working sort of hybrid models. Our resi population has now tipped over 30,000. Now, 30,000 doesn't sound like much, but I remember back in 1990, we were probably at our lowest, sitting around 12,500, 13,000 people. So these types of buildings and other buildings where you've had larger retail footprints that may not be going the way of the future, these are the sort of things that we need to be looking at to repurpose them with.
00:46:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is an interesting conversation, Steve. Thank you. Steve Maris, the Managing Director of the Maris Group. um, on David Jones and its future or indeed the future of retail in South Australia. I can't help, but think of a, there's a famous quote that gets taught in business that the former head of Netscape, one of the web browsers said many years ago. And he said, the only way to get rich in the world is either by bundling or unbundling. And it goes to this concept. There's a, there's obviously economic headwinds for consume for retail outlets at the moment, because we know everyone's, everyone's struggling. All the data says that, um, But I wonder if there's a cyclical element of it as well, whereby once upon a time, people bought streaming television, Foxtel. People bought Foxtel because they wanted 150 channels. And people said, I don't want to pay that much money for 150 channels. You know what? I'd rather pay $ 20 a month for Disney. I want the one thing. And are we going to get to a point where that's not profitable?
00:47:22
Speaker 4: Well, now it's turned into 15 different streaming services for $ 20 a month, and you're probably paying the same amount that.
00:47:28
Speaker 1: You were Exactly. So will someone be coming along in a decade's time going, you know what we should do is bundle these all up and sell it for a bit cheaper?
00:47:33
Speaker 4: Genius idea.
00:47:34
Speaker 1: Bundling and unbundling. David Jones was bundling. It was all the shops in one place. Oh, I just want to go to the shop I want to go to. I don't want to have to go to level five to find the thing I do. I wonder if there's a cyclic element to it.
00:47:45
Speaker 4: Interesting comparison Steve made there. He mentioned Harris Scarf.
00:47:48
Speaker 23: Yes.
00:47:49
Speaker 4: Which still exists, but on a much smaller scale than how it used to exist. You know, it's still in the mall. You can still go in.
00:47:54
Speaker 1: That's true.
00:47:54
Speaker 4: It's still in Marion, Westfields. just not the level it used to be. I wonder if that's where David Jones or that's where it's heading.
00:48:02
Speaker 1: Feels like there's a lot of change in the world at the moment. Steve, thank you for that. All right. Lots of texts coming through as well on David Jones. We should probably read those out here. Are you after the break?
00:48:13
Speaker 12: All right.
00:48:13
Speaker 1: We'll do them after the break. Let's check traffic and we'll come back with those DJ's texts in a moment. The Toyota Land Cruiser 300 before its hybrid has arrived at Jarvis Toyota, combining iconic strength with advanced hybrid power.

00:48:57
Speaker 1: Delicious.
00:48:58
Speaker 4: Coconutty, bit of ginger, bit of a kick. Not too sweet, though.
00:49:02
Speaker 1: Magnificent. That's what you need. In fact, Dilmar, making the world a better tea. If you don't know, you can have English breakfast now and you can have Paradise breakfast this afternoon when you tune into the live stream to watch Foodie Friday because Leith Forest will be joined by Chris Jarmer from 230 for Foodie Friday. Thanks to Smeg and Pows. If you're building or renovating your first choice, you should be visiting the Smeg showroom at Deputy Distributors. Taste the difference with Smeg and Pows. All right, let's head to the Weather Bureau and talk about the day. And the weekend ahead, Patrick Clapp is on duty. Patrick, what kind of weekend have we got coming up?
00:49:32
Speaker 32: Good morning, Will.
00:49:33
Speaker 33: Good morning, Stacey. Look, a little bit of a cooler weekend today. What we've got is a cold front sort of brushing the very southern parts of the state later on today. In terms of its effects in Adelaide, maybe a couple of drops later on today, so a couple of little showers, but it's more likely as you head further south. So southern suburbs and about the hills, maybe some very light showers later on. But look, generally, you have to head a little closer to the southern coast to get those showers today. But like I said, the main story for its effects around Adelaide is dropping those temperatures, particularly tomorrow. So colder air in behind that. So after today's top temperatures around sort of the 23 degree mark, so 23 in the city, Glenelg 22, Elizabeth 24, Noorlunga 22. Tomorrow we're dropping a few degrees off most of those. So 20 for the city tomorrow, Glenelg for 20 as well, 21 for Elizabeth tomorrow, 19 for Noorlunga, Mount Barker 16 tomorrow. So pretty fresh in behind that. Cold front. We do warm back up on Sunday and get some clearer skies back as well before we do look to get a bit more warmer northerly air in on Monday and bring those temperatures back up, generally pushing to the higher 20s at the start of next week.
00:50:46
Speaker 15: Will?
00:50:47
Speaker 1: All right. Good stuff, Patrick. Thank you, Patrick Clapp at the Bureau of Meteorology. I think we should read a couple of these David Jones texts. There's so many coming through.
00:50:54
Speaker 4: And this is interesting. There's two back to back, and I agree with both of them, but they contradict each other. This person says, David Jones needs to stock luxury brands that we can't access in Adelaide. For example, they stock Country Road, Ralph Lauren, Sheridan, but we can buy those brands direct in their stores. We want to touch and feel real designer brands that we don't get here, and there is an appetite for that. I totally agree. However, then I agree with Sue in Henley, who sent one straight after. The beauty of DJs was that you could buy quality products all in one spot. your seed pants, your country road top, your Chanel perfume, your Clinique makeup, your sandal shoes, not to mention the beautiful homewares.
00:51:31
Speaker 1: I agree with that as well. It's the difficulty, running a business like that.
00:51:36
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like pick a model and which one works at that time, at that moment in time.
00:51:41
Speaker 1: That's what the administrators are teasing out as we speak. I kept the text coming through, 04808 1395. We have a meat tray running, of course, too. The meat tray, thanks to Olga's Fine Foods. 31 Hindmarsh Avenue, Welland. We're asking you what you've found this morning. We spoke with the owner of Phoenix the Beagle, who was found by Jess Adamson on her way to work this morning. Shane in Myland, what's something you've found?
00:52:05
Speaker 31: Yeah, mate, yeah. Probably 30 years ago, I'd lost my wallet, so I didn't actually find it. And then it was found at the beach in Glenelg, and the.
00:52:17
Speaker 31: So two weeks later, I get a phone call from the life-saving clubs about two clubs up, three clubs up, and they'd found my wallet while they were paddling in the water. So this thing had been floating around for two weeks, and when I got it back, it was full of seaweed and everything, and basically I donated the rest of the money, what was in the wallet, to the life-saving club.
00:52:39
Speaker 1: Did you have cards and things in there, Shane? Did they work?
00:52:42
Speaker 33: Yeah, everything.
00:52:42
Speaker 31: I had everything in there. So, silly me, I'd been swimming down the water, and then I went to go to the shops, and I'm like, oh, where's my wallet? So, then I'd get everything changed, and, you know, as you do. But, yeah, so, yeah, they'd give me a call, and we got your wallet.
00:52:59
Speaker 1: That's got to be the most unlikely found lost wallet story I've ever heard.
00:53:03
Speaker 4: And it was just floating there. No offence, Shane, but it clearly didn't have a whole lot of money in there.
00:53:08
Speaker 1: It would have sunk to the bottom. Maybe it was all notes.
00:53:10
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:53:11
Speaker 1: Good stuff, Shane. All right, 5AA News is coming up. Michael Packie in the nation's capital.
00:53:18
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I listen to you guys.
00:53:20
Speaker 15: I know what you're saying.
00:53:22
Speaker 2: Knock down, build two with Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes, they do it all for you.
00:53:30
Speaker 3: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee.
00:53:32
Speaker 24: This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:53:34
Speaker 1: It was a nice start to the morning getting to reunite Ralph with his beagle, Phoenix, that disappeared and went for a jaunt. So too his dog, Sue, actually. They both disappeared. He spent the whole morning running around looking for them. One of them was found by Jess Adamson, who was on her way to hear 5AA in the newsroom and put up a picture. And as it turns out, Ralph and Phoenix have now been reunited. Lovely way to start the day. Inspire our meat trays as well as we ask you about the things you've found.
00:53:58
Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
00:53:59
Speaker 1: Thanks to the great people at Olga's. Jenny is on the line. Jenny, what did you find?
00:54:05
Speaker 21: Good morning, Will and Stacey.
00:54:07
Speaker 25: I found a wad of money, a big bag of money.
00:54:10
Speaker 1: A bag?
00:54:12
Speaker 34: A bag.
00:54:13
Speaker 21: You know how you have your coin bags that you get your coins in?
00:54:16
Speaker 24: Yeah.
00:54:17
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
00:54:18
Speaker 21: So we were going to the Balaclava Cup and we got off our bus and we had a marquee there and we were walking along, chatting to people on the bus and I looked down and saw this bag of money sitting on the ground and it was thick with notes. And so we opened it up and I could see in there that there was some people's names and money against them and ticking off and things like that. And I went, oh gosh, obviously someone, it's either a.
00:54:44
Speaker 25: Syndicate that puts money on the horses. So we went, we got some police and spoke to them about it and they said, all right, okay, right. We'll have a little look, do some detective work. They said, you keep it. We'll take the bedding slip and see if we can find the owners. And so we just sort of hung around and waited for the police to come back. And then it wasn't that long after. They said, look, come in here with me to this marquee. And so I still had the money in my pocket. And we spoke to the owner of the hotel who had the marquee. And the police said, I kept my mouth closed. And the police said, oh, have you lost any money? And they said, no. patted his pants down and had this horrified look on his face. He'd lost all of his people that were in his syndicate, all this money. And I said, is this it? And he went, yes, it is. And his wife was furious with him.
00:55:44
Speaker 21: But it would have been about $ 5, 000 worth.
00:55:49
Speaker 1: My goodness. Oh, yeah.
00:55:51
Speaker 4: Good on you for handing it over.
00:55:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, well done, Jenny.
00:55:54
Speaker 21: I didn't do very well at the races either.
00:55:57
Speaker 1: You would have thought the universe could give you some luck after doing a good deed like that.
00:56:01
Speaker 34: You wouldn't think so.
00:56:02
Speaker 4: You didn't get a finder's fee?
00:56:04
Speaker 15: No.
00:56:05
Speaker 1: Oh, crikey.
00:56:06
Speaker 21: No, that was a bit.
00:56:07
Speaker 25: I wasn't unhappy, but it was a bit unappreciative.
00:56:13
Speaker 1: Five grand? Come on. Well, well done you, Jenny. You get the You can't buy anything with the kudos, but you get all the kudos for returning the $ 5, 000 and lost cash.
00:56:25
Speaker 15: That's crazy.
00:56:25
Speaker 1: Unbelievable. I was having a chat. We were at a birthday party. We were starting with my daughter, Rosie, who's just turned four. We were on the first round of birthday parties, which sort of feels like a rite of passage, a moment in life, and we've been taking to them. I said to my wife at one of them recently, I guess the next step after this with kids doing this is sleepovers. She said to me, I don't think so. No one does them anymore.
00:56:50
Speaker 4: Yeah.
00:56:50
Speaker 1: We had this debate about, well, I certainly had sleepovers when I was a kid, but there's a growing fear among a generation of parents that you can't control for the abuse of kids. And I said to her, but what if you know the parents? She made the point that in so many instances, it's evidence about what happens between the children that is of as much concern as going into a house with people you don't know. And I was sublimely ignorant to this whole thing.
00:57:18
Speaker 4: And other children, siblings, friends who might be.
00:57:20
Speaker 1: Over as well.
00:57:21
Speaker 13: Absolutely.
00:57:22
Speaker 1: Exactly right. I had no idea this was a thing. And here it is in the news this morning, page 22, the slumber party is over. Genevieve Muir is a parenting educator and author of a new book, Why Kids Need Boundaries, and joins us on 5AA Breakfast. Now, Genevieve, good morning to you. Good morning. Is this reasonable? Is it healthy? Is it overcautious? What's your take on the death of the slumber party?
00:57:46
Speaker 35: I don't know if it's dead. I think that parents are coming in with caution, and I think that's a really good thing. We used to think, a lot of us, we're the generation of, I don't know if you guys remember the safety house campaign or the sense that the biggest risk to us was the stranger in a white van. And the problem with that idea was that in 96% of cases, when harm comes to children, it is usually at the hands of someone we know and sometimes even love and often in our own home or in homes that we trust. So we were kind of focusing on the wrong risk for kids. I think parents are aware of that now, but I think they're also navigating this whole new world of screens.
00:58:26
Speaker 36: You know, we're.
00:58:27
Speaker 35: Handing the whole internet to kids on a small device within the safety of their homes And we know that other parents, especially, I think you just said your daughter is four going on five, you know, for very little kids, we don't know what they could get exposed to within a house that maybe has different rules around access to devices than we do. And so I think parents are being cautious about it, maybe going slower and making sure their kids are really ready and have the skills to navigate all that before we do it.
00:58:57
Speaker 4: So when do you know when your child is ready, Genevieve? And do you have any tips for parents who are facing that, you know, questions from their kids about why can't I go to the sleepover? My friends are doing it. How can they prepare them?
00:59:09
Speaker 35: Believe me, I have four sons, so I have been through this. I think the biggest thing we can think about in terms of our answer to our kids, you know, it might be about, you know, it's not no forever, it's not yet. Or we might start for our kids with a later over, which is, I can hear how much you want to sleep over. Let's start with, you can go to your friend's house, you can have pizza, you can have the movie, you can do all the things that are fun about a sleepover and then we'll pick you up at 9 p.m. and we'll bring you home and you can sleep in your own bed. So we don't have to kind of just say, absolutely not, we're not even going to go near it. We can work towards it. In terms of when kids are ready, there is no age that I could give you. I know for my four sons, I held off for much longer with one of them because he actually had a speech delay. And I knew that he was a kid that would struggle to communicate if there was something he was unsure about or he would struggle to help seek. We want to know that our kids would be able to stand up for themselves. They could say, I don't feel comfortable or I want to go home. That's the kind of skills that we're looking for from our kids. So it's really thinking about that. And then the things that parents can do is really have open and ongoing conversations. I had a friend once call me and she goes, Jen, I've just sent my child off on a sleepover and I've sat her down for 30 minutes before she went saying, all.
01:00:29
Speaker 25: These things could go wrong.
01:00:31
Speaker 35: And she said, I feel terrible because she's just gone off and now she's terrified that there's all this risk. And I laughed. I relate to that. I think as parents, we don't always get it right.
01:00:42
Speaker 32: But if we could have.
01:00:44
Speaker 35: Ongoing conversations with our kids about speaking up, about what safe and unsafe behavior looks like, You know, these are things that will be so protective and they make our kids very bad victims of things. The biggest protection we can give our kids is actually a message that no matter what happened to you, no matter what you did, no matter what someone else did, there's nothing that would ever stop me from loving you. There is nothing that you can't tell me. And we need to say that message over and over and over again.
01:01:14
Speaker 33: Yeah.
01:01:15
Speaker 1: Yeah.
01:01:16
Speaker 4: Oh, some great tips there.
01:01:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was fantastic, Genevieve. Thank you so much. That was a really interesting conversation. Things have changed a lot in the space of, well, it's not even a generation.
01:01:27
Speaker 12: No.
01:01:28
Speaker 1: It's been the space of 30 years. Genevieve Muir, parenting educator and author of a new book, Why Kids Need Boundaries.
01:01:35
Speaker 4: I love these texts. Helen says, no, I don't believe in sleepovers. They're dangerous. Too many creeps. And then Darren says, for the love of God, get the cotton wool out. Wrap the kids up. different perspectives on.
01:01:49
Speaker 5: It.
01:01:49
Speaker 1: Keep your thoughts coming through, 0408 1395. Let's go to Flagstaff Hill. Ben, Meat Tray Friday, what's something you've found?
01:01:57
Speaker 29: Yeah, good morning Will and Stacey. Yeah, good news story in our house. A number of years ago when our kids were really little, we put a basketball ring in the backyard and my wife and I were out there playing with the kids when they were young and as my wife took a shot for the the basketball ring, her wedding ring, bounced off her finger. And we heard it bounce across the pavers towards the basketball ring and spent hours and hours trying to find her. We got someone in with a metal detector to run their metal detector across the back yard for probably two, three hours, and we just couldn't find her. We were quite distraught, really, as a consequence of that. My wife ended up going out... some weeks later and getting a replacement wedding ring. And I think it was, um, early this year, which had been about 10 years.
01:02:50
Speaker 16: Since it's happened.
01:02:51
Speaker 29: Um, I was doing some, um, gardening in the backyard and, uh, just dug up the soil in the backyard and I found it.
01:02:58
Speaker 14: Oh, wow.
01:02:59
Speaker 1: Oh, well done.
01:03:01
Speaker 29: We reunited it with her, uh, wedding finger and, um, now she has the two rings, but, um, yeah, it was a great story to tell. We, we'd probably given her a bit of, um, unfair ribbing in the years in between about it. It's a great outcome for her.
01:03:16
Speaker 1: It's all funny if you find.
01:03:17
Speaker 36: It in the end.
01:03:18
Speaker 4: Hey, it's ended up with two, so it's not bad.
01:03:19
Speaker 31: Yeah, that's right.
01:03:21
Speaker 1: Well done, Ben. Some remarkable stories have found wedding rings, found wallets, found lost cash. We had a found relative to start us off this morning for Meat Tray Friday. Thanks to Olga's Fine Foods, 31 Hindmarsh Avenue, Welland. Keep those calls coming in, 8223 0000. Make sure you tune in a little bit later because Graeme Goodings has been on the search for seven sensational South Australians over 70 who achieve, lead, inspire.

Speaker 4: They do it all for you.
01:04:24
Speaker 24: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
01:04:28
Speaker 1: Seven minutes to wait. We've been talking a lot about David Jones, the future it has or doesn't have, what form that will take, what we're losing in an economic sense, in a job sense, and what it says about the changing retail picture. There's a big part of this, though, that we've touched on but haven't spoken explicitly about, and that is the nostalgia element of this. Such an important and iconic brand, something with so many memories from the Magic Cave to buying flash outfits for a get-together somewhere where it's nice big brand bob burn we wanted to bring into this conversation right of the boomer column in the advertiser bob good morning to you yeah good bob i wonder if you can pick up this thread because i can't quite complete it but in my mind there's a classiness to david jones there always was in terms of the uh the service you historically got the sense you got going into the story it was upmarket it was classy it felt important in the same way that airline travel used to feel that way. People dressed up, they wore a suit, you got fancy food. Are we losing in David Jones the last of these sort of classy retail experiences as consumers? Is everything now just transactionary and made for as cheap and as easy as possible? Do you understand what I'm saying, Bob? Are we losing something beyond just the shop?
01:05:48
Speaker 11: And, you know, I mean, a lot of people just buy stuff online now, and it doesn't quite have the same effect, does it, as walking into a store. I mean, you know, a little bit of history. David Jones goes back to, what, 1838. David Jones, he was a real person. He arrived here in Australia in the colony of New South Wales, opened up his business, First building, first store in George Street in Sydney. And from the very beginning, his mission was to sell the best and most exclusive goods. That's what he wanted to do. And carry.
01:06:31
Speaker 22: Stock.
01:06:32
Speaker 11: He said he wanted to carry stock that embraced the everyday wants of mankind at large, but yet with class.
01:06:40
Speaker 23: And.
01:06:41
Speaker 11: Mind you, this is not the first time that David Jones has gone broke and gone through the problems that it's currently facing. Even when David Jones opened it, it started to falter because he decided to leave after a couple of years. He went into politics.
01:07:02
Speaker 20: Wow.
01:07:03
Speaker 23: Yes.
01:07:04
Speaker 11: And anyway, the partners took it over and it ended up going into bankruptcy. So he borrowed the money, bought out the partners and.
01:07:17
Speaker 15: Started off again.
01:07:19
Speaker 11: So it got back into the black. It arrived, David Jones arrived in Adelaide in the 1960s, early 1960s, that actually bought the old Burke's store. Now, you wouldn't remember that, will you? You're much too young.
01:07:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, before my time.
01:07:37
Speaker 11: But Burke's used to be in Rundle Street, and David Jones bought that store, and they traded it as Burke's for quite a while, and then it became David Jones. And yes, it was a very special store. I mean, a lot of people will remember the pianist who used to be on the He was on the mezzanine floor with a grand piano. You know, you don't get that anymore, do you? You don't go into a store, a department store, and see somebody tinkling away on a grand piano.
01:08:16
Speaker 3: No.
01:08:16
Speaker 4: And it was, as Will said, you'd dress up. You would go to, I've said before, we used to go and sit at the David Jones Cafe. We would go for the new season show. catwalks, you know, the fashion parades that they would do. And I remember mum dressing us all up in our matching outfits and doing our hair perfectly and we'd get there early to sit in the front row so we could watch the fashion parades. And it was an event that you'd go to with family and friends.
01:08:41
Speaker 12: And you guys, you know, you wouldn't remember, but there would be a lot of you listeners who remember. The thing about David Jones was when you went inside, they had a.
01:08:54
Speaker 11: They had a big cooking area and they used to cook fresh biscuits. And the first thing that came at you when you went into David Jones was that smell of freshly baked biscuits. And it was absolutely, it was a beautiful smell. Mind you, I have to say, guys, that there's been a little bit of a love and.
01:09:15
Speaker 12: Hate relationship between Adelaide and David Jones. You know, a lot of people still think that David Jones is responsible for the loss of John Martins.
01:09:26
Speaker 30: I mean, it was David Jones that closed down John Martins.
01:09:30
Speaker 15: So a lot of people still are not very happy with that.
01:09:32
Speaker 1: What goes around comes around, Bob.
01:09:35
Speaker 12: Long time afterwards, but gee whiz.
01:09:37
Speaker 15: You know.
01:09:38
Speaker 1: That's a really good point, actually. Thank you, Bob. We appreciate it. Bob Byrne, the writer of the Boomer column in the advertiser on What we're losing in David Jones, beyond the business, beyond the money, beyond the jobs.
01:09:49
Speaker 36: Yeah.
01:09:51
Speaker 1: Lots changing. Lots changing.
01:09:54
Speaker 4: And even just when we'd go to the fashion parades, there was a chocolate shop. Like they'd make their chocolates fresh there at the David Jones we used to go to if we were good. If you're good girls, you get to pick one chocolate. You'd go and pick one chocolate from the cabinet. The lady with her gloves would get it out and hand it to you in a beautiful little box with a ribbon on it.
01:10:11
Speaker 1: It was all high-end and special. There aren't many experiences like that anymore. Maybe there's none. Let's go to Hallet Cove. Philip, for the Metro, Metro Friday is, what's something you found, Philip?
01:10:21
Speaker 19: This is about 40 years ago, and I was driving down King William Road. In the middle of the road, there's a pair of saddlebags. So I was in the car, grabbed them, picked them up. I looked further down, there's a guy on a motorbike. I thought, well, that's got to be his. So I caught up to him in the next set of lights, popped the horn out on him. He wasn't happy, and he had a big patch on the back of his leathers. I'm not sure what it said. Anyway, I got the window down and said, mate, have you lost anything? He looked behind, and his face went white. I said, I got your saddlebags here, buddy. And he said, did you look in it? I said, no.
01:10:59
Speaker 13: He said, well, buddy.
01:11:01
Speaker 19: You saved my life. I said, no, no, that's okay. He went to hand me a $ 100 note. This is 40 years ago. And I said, no, no, no, I don't want any money, mate. He said, you saved my life.
01:11:14
Speaker 1: Oh, my goodness.
01:11:15
Speaker 34: So I took the money.
01:11:16
Speaker 1: You didn't take the money. Fair enough. Fair enough, Philip.
01:11:20
Speaker 4: Sounds like you did save his life.
01:11:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's an extraordinary story.
01:11:24
Speaker 4: Lucky you didn't look in the bag. If you looked in them, you'd probably.
01:11:26
Speaker 3: Say no anyway.
01:11:26
Speaker 1: I wonder what would have happened if you looked in them.
01:11:28
Speaker 5: Yeah.
01:11:28
Speaker 4: No, I didn't look.
01:11:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Philip was wise to what was going on there.
01:11:31
Speaker 4: I don't know about the drugs in the bags.
01:11:32
Speaker 3: Philip.
01:11:33
Speaker 1: You're in the running to win the August Fine Foods Meat Tray, 31 Hindmarsh Avenue at Welland.
01:11:42
Speaker 2: Knock down, build two with Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes, they do it all for you.
01:11:50
Speaker 24: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
01:11:55
Speaker 1: Ten after eight, breaking eight coming up in just a moment. We've got Robbie Williams' tickets to give away. You might have heard of him. Robbie Williams playing tomorrow night Adelaide Oval. It's going to be huge. We showed a bit on Seven behind the scenes of the set that he's got. Now, remember this, he's kicking off a global tour. It's spectacular. It looks fantastic. They've set it up for the first time at Adelaide Oval. It's going to be going around the world. You'll be the first to see it if you win tickets. That's coming up a little bit later this half hour.
01:12:18
Speaker 16: Go on.
01:12:18
Speaker 4: Let him entertain you.
01:12:19
Speaker 1: Let him entertain you. The other thing that we are going to be doing is giving away the meat tray, thanks to Olga's Fine Foods, 31 Highmarsh Avenue at Welland. We're asking you about things that you've found, inspired by Jess Adamson, Finding. Phoenix the Beagle on the way to work this morning and reuniting Phoenix with Ralph a little bit earlier. So let's go to Veronica who's called in. Good morning to you, Veronica.
01:12:41
Speaker 37: And to you too.
01:12:44
Speaker 36: Many years ago I was working in a hospital and found a wallet under a bench seat. I handed it in. It actually belonged to Bruce McIverney. And I think of him every time I hear his name or see him on the television because He may be in there on, I'm not sure the circumstances, but yes, I do remember that.
01:13:09
Speaker 7: Did it get back to him, Veronica?
01:13:13
Speaker 36: Well, I didn't spend the money. I handed it in.
01:13:18
Speaker 4: Well done, you.
01:13:20
Speaker 1: I wonder if he knows that it was you that found his wallet that was returned to him.
01:13:25
Speaker 36: Well, maybe, maybe not, but I hope he's listening and it jogs his memory.
01:13:30
Speaker 1: Well, you know what? That might just be the case. He's a lovely man, Bruce, and he's The kind of person that would be so thankful for an act of generosity like that. Nice to connect you with Bruce Bacavati over the airways, Veronica, for your generosity. You're on the running to win the meat tray. That's a lovely story. Let's jump into some of the news that's happening as we speak this morning. There's a bit going on around the world right now that we just want to talk about. One thing to mark that may have ramifications for here in Adelaide and indeed is something that we flagged with the Premier yesterday. This data centre story is having a huge effect on global markets today. The reason is the Democrats swept the power in the midterms in the US. Cost of living was a big part of this, but there was a lot of localised campaigns opposing data centres. Elon Musk had backed Republican candidates who were much more open-minded, who had said, yeah, we'll approve these things. A lot of Democrats saw that. They saw that people didn't like them. and they ran heavily against them. It turns out if you slow up the building of data centers, you slow up the rollout of AI. How about this? The S & P 500, so the index in the US, shed $ 2. 9 trillion. The NASDAQ, which is all the tech stocks in the US, lost $ 2. 5 trillion. This isn't the overnight session. This is the trading that's only closed in the last couple of hours, they lost 5.52%. The magnificent seven, so that's the biggest tech companies in the world, your NVIDIAs and your Metas and your Alphabets and Google, effectively, and all these sorts of companies, they lost over a trillion dollars in market value. Now, that'll bleed through to Australia. This is a data center story, and it's playing out in the United States at the moment because they're putting the brakes on data centers. So that'll mean a couple of different things. Elon Musk has said, well, maybe we're going to have to build them in space. If that's the result, SpaceX will be pumped because Elon's going to make a lot of money that way. He's lost a lot of money overnight as a result of this.
01:15:32
Speaker 4: Well, he needs a new way to make back his trillions.
01:15:34
Speaker 1: Exactly right. The other thing that could happen is these American companies are going to have to find other countries with a lot of space in which to build them. I just flag it to give you a sense of the amount of money we're talking about, trillions of dollars. Google what a trillion is because it's impossible as a human being to– our brains weren't designed to understand what a trillion anything is. they will find places to build these. Cause we've seen what a little bit of speculation about a rock, a slowing the rollout has done. It's just, it is, it is, um, uh, had huge ramifications for the, the NASDAQ and tech stocks overnight. What country on earth has lots of space and has been open-minded about data centers. There's two, I can think of Canada and Australia. I reckon we're going to have these companies knocking our door down to build these things here. It, It's going to be interesting to see how open our governments are to it and how well the benefits, we keep talking about this, can be sold to Australians and South Australians.
01:16:30
Speaker 7: Okay.
01:16:30
Speaker 9: Well, if the.
01:16:31
Speaker 4: Government said these trillionaires want to build these things here and if we allow, I don't know, 10 in these 10 locations, we will be able to pay off our debt.
01:16:44
Speaker 1: I'd be very interested if they could make that case.
01:16:46
Speaker 4: You'll get South Road. You'll get a new women's and children's hospital. We'll get a freight bypass.
01:16:50
Speaker 23: Yes.
01:16:51
Speaker 4: If they were able to communicate in that way how much money these big companies were going to bring in to the state and it could pay off our state debt, then I think a lot of people would.
01:17:01
Speaker 1: Be more open-minded. It's a state debt, $ 50 billion. $ 50 billion. It's kind of small fry when you're talking about the numbers here. Yeah, we're talking trillions here. Anyway, they haven't made that commitment yet. And, you know, maybe just a hint for everyone who's listening in Silicon Valley this morning. Time for breaking it up.
01:17:18
Speaker 4: Well, it is starting to feel like Christmas when you go into the shopping centres. And despite the bad news about David Jones, I was in there last week and it felt like Christmas. All the baubles were out, all the decorations were out. Santa's coming to a shopping centre near you for Christmas pageant next week. And this weekend, the Giant Santa goes up on the Grote Street side of the Central Market. That's on Sunday. But there's a growing view within council that this is the final year of the Giant Santa.
01:17:48
Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
01:17:48
Speaker 4: Yeah, remember a few years ago?
01:17:49
Speaker 1: It was approaching the end of its natural life, wasn't it?
01:17:52
Speaker 4: It was, and he was at risk of extinction a few years ago before Cozzy came in and saved him. Andrew Costello, he bought Giant Santa off the Adelaide City Council for $ 2, but he had to do about $ 45, 000 worth of work to get him back to life. It was sort of renovations that had to happen, repairs. And there was a fundraiser to raise money for that. So the community loves Santa. They don't want to see Santa go. But he was coming to the end of his life a few years ago before those repairs took place. And there is that growing concern from council that this could be the last year. He won't survive until next year.
01:18:32
Speaker 1: So Santa might need to be refurbished at, I imagine, great expense or replaced. Or maybe he's done-ski.
01:18:39
Speaker 4: Maybe he's done. I mean, and look, as I just said, Because he saved him once before and the community got behind it, so maybe it'll happen again.
01:18:46
Speaker 1: Can we lose David Jones and Father Christmas?
01:18:49
Speaker 4: In the same year?
01:18:50
Speaker 1: Well, all right, balls in Cozzy's court on that one.
01:18:57
Speaker 4: Just another little tidbit out of Town Hall. They had the Energy and Mining Awards last night.
01:19:01
Speaker 15: Yeah.
01:19:02
Speaker 4: And the Treasurer, Tom Koutsantonis, has taken to Twitter. He was very happy to see so many awards in Town Hall go to Santos.
01:19:09
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, they obviously love Santos in Town Hall, don't they?
01:19:12
Speaker 4: I wonder if any council has attended.
01:19:15
Speaker 1: So Town Hall, presumably the venue had to be rented. I mean, they're totally opposed to taking any money from these, you know, fossil fuel companies. You couldn't write it. 18 minutes after seven, we'll check traffic. But first, we have Robbie Williams tickets to give away. Bob Byrne before the break. Great mental picture of what we're losing in David Jones beyond the economic impact. He said, that smell of the freshly baked biscuits is one of the greatest smells you could ever, ever, ever smell.
01:19:46
Speaker 23: Yep.
01:19:47
Speaker 1: So it's a simple one. It's a Friday morning. Robbie Williams is tomorrow night. What's the best smell in the world? Oh. 8223 0000. Get calling now. We'll give someone who nominates a great smell Robbie Williams tickets to get along tomorrow night at Adelaide Oval. So call in now. Call in quickly because these tickets will be going tomorrow before 8.30. The Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Performance Hybrid has arrived at Jarvis Toyota combining iconic strength with advanced hybrid power.
01:20:14
Speaker 3: Knockdown.
01:20:14
Speaker 2: Build two with Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes.
01:20:20

01:20:28
Speaker 3: Tea.

Speaker 1: Just freshly brewed tea.
01:20:31
Speaker 4: I've got my Dilmar Paradise breakfast here at the moment.
01:20:34
Speaker 1: Well, we're asking you about smells because we're giving away Robbie Williams tickets for smells nominations. But we're also sponsored, of course, on the live stream by Dilmar Tea. You can enjoy the new English breakfast or Paradise breakfast. Dilmar, making the world a better tea. The Robbie Williams show is tomorrow night, the first of his world tour. The Britpop Tour.

We have some right here and now, though, to give away for your favourite smell. 8223 0000 is the number.
01:21:11
Speaker 4: I have one.
01:21:11
Speaker 23: Yeah?
01:21:12
Speaker 4: I used to live in Black Forest, and in Forestville there is a Buttercup Bakeries factory where they bake the bread.
01:21:20
Speaker 26: Yum.
01:21:21
Speaker 4: Oh, and you can't drive through the suburb in the morning without smelling it and just feeling like some freshly baked bread.
01:21:27
Speaker 1: I just think bread's the winner of this competition. Let's find out what our listeners think. Sue in Largs North, what's the best smell?
01:21:33
Speaker 35: I accidentally sent grass.
01:21:35
Speaker 36: I don't know why, but I actually meant something cooking in a slow cooker all day.
01:21:40
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
01:21:41
Speaker 6: The whole house smells of it.
01:21:42
Speaker 1: There's something teasing about a slow cooker as well.
01:21:44
Speaker 4: I love that you got those two confused.
01:21:47
Speaker 1: Grass and slow cooking.
01:21:49
Speaker 4: Both qualify.
01:21:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's absolutely right. Helen in West Beach, what's the best smell?
01:21:53
Speaker 32: Anything freshly cooked in a kitchen when it's freezing cold and you've been there all day.
01:21:58
Speaker 23: Yeah.
01:21:58
Speaker 17: Sit back and enjoy it.
01:21:59
Speaker 1: Do you know what the best smell about coming out of a kitchen is? It's the thing that's being cooked by your next door neighbour. It always smells unbelievable. I don't know why.
01:22:06
Speaker 4: Anything that starts with onion and garlic.
01:22:08
Speaker 1: Good point.
01:22:08
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter what you put in after that.
01:22:11
Speaker 3: Yeah.
01:22:11
Speaker 4: It's going to taste good.
01:22:12
Speaker 1: Paul in West Lakes, what's the best smell?
01:22:15
Speaker 11: We fight over this in our house. Who gets to fill up the coffee machine? When you open up the bag of the coffee beans.
01:22:22
Speaker 3: The beans.
01:22:24
Speaker 1: Good one, Paul. Daryl in Port Adelaide. Good morning.
01:22:27
Speaker 18: Will and Stacey, how are you?
01:22:29
Speaker 1: Good. Good, Daryl.
01:22:30
Speaker 6: Roasting cashews when you walk through the market.
01:22:33
Speaker 4: Oh, good one.
01:22:34
Speaker 10: Yes.
01:22:35
Speaker 1: Oh, there are more very good smells than I thought. Let's go to Kapanda.
01:22:38
Speaker 4: Charlesworth nuts.
01:22:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, Charlesworth. Thank you very much. Morning, Tab.
01:22:42
Speaker 20: Morning.
01:22:43
Speaker 1: What's the best smell?
01:22:45
Speaker 38: Well, it's got to be on the farm when it hasn't rained for a while and you get that first smell of fresh rain on the ground.
01:22:51
Speaker 1: Oh, the petrichor. Thank you, Tab. Eugene, what's the best smell?
01:22:56
Speaker 34: G'day, guys. Well, I had coffee as well, which is the smell of awakeness. But Christmas morning, living in Campbelltown, and you go out and you can smell all the charcoal spits going along. And the smell of just roasted meat at 10 o'clock in the morning.
01:23:18
Speaker 1: Yes, that is the smell of Christmas Day.
01:23:20
Speaker 4: That's the best lamb on the spit. Nothing beats it.
01:23:23
Speaker 1: Oh, that took me to Christmas. Let's go to Port Norlunga. Steve, good morning.
01:23:26
Speaker 15: Good morning. How are we going there?
01:23:28
Speaker 1: Good, Steve.
01:23:29
Speaker 15: Okay, I'm just about to experience this. Guys, I'm about to mow my lawn.
01:23:34
Speaker 29: I reckon it's the best smell in the world.
01:23:36
Speaker 15: Freshly cut lawn.
01:23:37
Speaker 1: I would love, there's nothing better. It takes me back to playing cricket as a younger person. person where you'd go, the first thing you get to the pitch, it had been mowed the day before, the night before, bit of dew on the lawn in the morning. That smell, I miss that smell. That's a good one, Steve. Thank you. Nicole in Parafield Gardens, good morning.
01:23:57
Speaker 32: Good morning. Mine's actually a hand sanitizer called MicroShield because it was in my room when I had my first child and so you use it on your hands. So it takes me back there. So that's over 20 years ago now and I stalk the orthodontist, the dentist, when I give blood at Red Cross because it's a commercial one and you can only get it in commercial quantities. So I have the cleanest hands whenever I go to anywhere that have that because it takes me back. to that first-time mother feeling that you get when you're in hospital.
01:24:35
Speaker 4: You just made the hairs on the back of my neck. I think I know the smell.
01:24:38
Speaker 1: It's so nice. That's so wonderfully specific, Nicole. That's excellent. That's beautiful. Mark in Highbury, what's the best smell?
01:24:45
Speaker 15: Good morning.
01:24:45
Speaker 7: How are you going?
01:24:46
Speaker 1: Good, Mark.
01:24:47
Speaker 15: Good, this is something different.
01:24:49
Speaker 19: I follow motorsport and the smell of the fuel off the bikes and the cars when you walk around the pits and that.
01:24:55
Speaker 1: All rev heads live for the smell of that petrol, burning petrol. Thank you, Mark.
01:25:00
Speaker 4: We got a text from a motorsport fan who said, the smell of freshly cut trees for the MotoGP track. I don't know if that text is from the Premier or not. I'm not sure.
01:25:10
Speaker 1: Quite possibly. Dave in Hallett Cove, what's the best smell?
01:25:13
Speaker 15: Yeah, good morning, guys.
01:25:14
Speaker 28: When I used to work, an Italian lad, Frank, used to go and buy his coffee from somewhere.
01:25:18
Speaker 12: I don't know where he got it.
01:25:19
Speaker 18: He'd come back in a little alfalfa packet and he'd walk into the kitchen and as soon as he opened the bag, the smell would just.
01:25:25
Speaker 26: Waft out into the office area and.
01:25:27
Speaker 12: You'd just walk in and you'd just smell the coffee in the bag.
01:25:29
Speaker 18: It was rather extraordinary.
01:25:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's such a pleasing aroma. Gail, good morning.
01:25:35
Speaker 37: Oh, good morning. What do you think, Gail?
01:25:38
Speaker 36: I reckon.
01:25:39
Speaker 37: I reckon cooking onions on the barbecue.
01:25:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, onions are the number one, I think, ingredient, aren't they? Garlic always smells good, as you said, Stace, but onions is just, you're always cooking with onions.
01:25:49
Speaker 4: It smells different on the barbecue as well.
01:25:51
Speaker 23: Yes. Yeah.
01:25:53
Speaker 1: Jo and Angle Vale, what's the best smell?
01:25:54
Speaker 37: Estee Lauder's Youth Dew.
01:26:00
Speaker 4: Oh, I do know that one.
01:26:01
Speaker 37: Yeah, that's the best smell ever.
01:26:05
Speaker 1: Well done, Jo. Thank you. Sue in Valley View, what's the best smell?
01:26:08
Speaker 12: Good morning.
01:26:09
Speaker 32: Best smell for us is the neighbour's barbecue.
01:26:12
Speaker 36: We could cook our own, but it won't taste as good as theirs smells.
01:26:16
Speaker 1: I could not agree more with that, Sue. There's something about it. Thank you. What do you think, Mary?
01:26:20
Speaker 36: I think a lovely newborn baby just out of the bath, all smelling.
01:26:26
Speaker 17: All beautiful.
01:26:27
Speaker 1: There's nothing like it, is there?
01:26:29
Speaker 4: So true, Mary.
01:26:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's nothing quite like it. There's something evolutionary going on.
01:26:33
Speaker 4: I'm coming to the end of that phase.
01:26:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm past it now. It's just a memory. Mike in O'Sullivan Beach, good morning.
01:26:39
Speaker 20: Yeah, I've got the same idea.
01:26:40
Speaker 15: The smell of my firstborn. Yeah.
01:26:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, it just triggers something in your brain, doesn't it?
01:26:45
Speaker 23: It does.
01:26:45
Speaker 1: It's hard to explain to people who.
01:26:46
Speaker 4: And it looks creepy if you smell someone else's baby.
01:26:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a little odd. Or other people, for that matter. Cathy in Theberton, good morning.
01:26:54
Speaker 36: Oh, my God. Summertime at the beach, the fish and chips.
01:26:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, the fish and chips.
01:26:59
Speaker 9: Oh, yeah.
01:27:00
Speaker 1: That's good. Jane, what do you think the best smell is?
01:27:04
Speaker 38: It doesn't matter what time of the year I go to Castle Plaza Shopping Centre. It's the smell coming from Kytons Bakery, Lamington's, Christmas puddings, mince pies, pasties. Every day there's a different odour.
01:27:19
Speaker 1: Thank you, Jane. Brad in One Tree Hill, good morning.
01:27:22
Speaker 6: Yeah, good morning, team. Picture this, it's minus 25, 30 degrees. You're in northern Canada, freezing, ice and snow, and you've been dog sledding all day. And you come inside and on the wood fire, It's a beautiful moose stew. Smells magnificent.
01:27:39
Speaker 1: I can't say. That's one I can say I've never smelt, Brad. Moose stew.
01:27:42
Speaker 28: Okay, I'll take your word for it.
01:27:44
Speaker 1: All right. I don't know. I've never associated a moose with a good smell, but maybe I need to update my thoughts. Last one. Sandra in Glenside. Good morning.
01:27:54
Speaker 22: Good morning.
01:27:55
Speaker 36: The smell of bacon and eggs cooking in the morning for breakfast.
01:27:59
Speaker 1: Oh, yes. Nice way to start the day, Sandra. Who wins the Robbie Williams tickets?
01:28:03
Speaker 4: A couple of texts as well. Puppy breath, deep heat, change rooms at footy. This one from Nash, opening a new can of tennis balls as well.
01:28:10
Speaker 1: Oh, tennis balls.
01:28:11
Speaker 4: Some great suggestions this morning. Well done, everyone. I think it has to go to Nicole, the specific type of hand sanitiser from the hospital when she had her baby.
01:28:21
Speaker 1: I love that call. Nicole, congratulations to you. You're off to Robbie Williams tomorrow night, Adelaide Oval, for his Britpop tour.

01:29:43
Speaker 15: I was only about 10 or 11. And I lived in Port Pirie. We had a block across the road from where Mum lived. Used to have to go out to the shop and get goodies for her as I walked across there and come across this pay packet. And I took it back to Mum and opened it up. It was full of quids back in those days, the quids.
01:30:06
Speaker 5: Yeah.
01:30:07
Speaker 15: And she said, we've got to hand it in. So I handed it in and it was loaded up, never been opened. and handed it in about three or four weeks later, he got it back.
01:30:18
Speaker 23: Oh.
01:30:19
Speaker 1: What, because no one claimed it, Brian?
01:30:21
Speaker 15: Nobody claimed it, no.
01:30:22
Speaker 1: Oh, well done. Geez, I bet you were popular for finding it.
01:30:25
Speaker 11: Yeah.
01:30:28
Speaker 15: I forget what happened to it, but we got the money.
01:30:31
Speaker 1: Oh, well, good on you, Brian. You guys did the right thing. I think it's fair enough at that point.
01:30:35
Speaker 3: Yeah.
01:30:35
Speaker 1: You get to share in the spoils of your good fortune. Well done, Brian. A lot of pay packets, wallets, cash.
01:30:42
Speaker 23: Yeah.
01:30:43
Speaker 1: Bags of money.
01:30:44
Speaker 4: Makes me glad we don't get paid in cash anymore.
01:30:46
Speaker 1: Yeah.
01:30:46
Speaker 4: That was the scariest day, every Tuesday going and collecting your pay and then just thinking, just get this home, just get this home, just get this home, just get this home. Don't lose it.
01:30:57
Speaker 1: No one can find cash now, can they, and just return it to someone. It's just not a thing that's going to happen anymore as the world progressively moves away from cash.
01:31:04
Speaker 4: Would they return it as well?
01:31:05
Speaker 1: Well, that's a good question.
01:31:09
Speaker 36: Feedback.
01:31:10
Speaker 1: All right, time to feed back. Friday today, so have your say.
01:31:14
Speaker 26: Feedback.
01:31:15
Speaker 1: I mentioned the Smeg Toaster, the Gramazio Foods meat pack also up for grabs. A Sonoboli pack, all thanks to Gramazio Foods. SA's only celiac-certified butcher. Burnside Village, Golden Grove Village and online at gramaziofoods.com.au. Let's go to Wattle Park. Costa, good morning.
01:31:32
Speaker 16: Good morning, how are you?
01:31:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're good, Costa. Now, so, Costa.
01:31:38
Speaker 8: Yep.
01:31:38
Speaker 1: Okay. Costa, what's the biggest act you've seen live? Robbie Williams tomorrow night. What's the biggest act you've seen live?
01:31:47
Speaker 16: Oh, I'm trying to think now. Actually, I listen to Greek music, so I've seen lots of Greek concerts here in Adelaide and interstate.
01:31:56
Speaker 1: Well, Costa, what happened at the start? Stacey said Yasu to you.
01:32:00
Speaker 16: Oh, I didn't hear.
01:32:02
Speaker 5: Sorry.
01:32:02
Speaker 15: Yasu, Stacey.
01:32:03
Speaker 1: I said Yasu, and.
01:32:04
Speaker 4: You totally blamed me.
01:32:05
Speaker 1: Costa's my dad's.
01:32:06
Speaker 4: Name as well.
01:32:08
Speaker 3: Sorry.
01:32:08
Speaker 15: It's okay.
01:32:09
Speaker 1: I thought he might have been a Costa of a different complexion for a second. What do you think the most Australian song of all time is, Costa? The Australian songbook is something we debated earlier in the week. The Zorba, for sure.
01:32:23
Speaker 5: Yeah.
01:32:24
Speaker 16: Yeah, I can't go past Waltzing Matilda. I love that song.
01:32:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, Waltzing Matilda did actually make it into the initial Australian songbook. Would you buy a home that was built in 17 weeks, Costa? The new Hickenbotham home building technology. We spoke with Michael Hickenbotham earlier in the week.
01:32:43
Speaker 16: No, that would be sacrilegious to my Greek ancestors who were bricklayers.
01:32:47
Speaker 15: No, no way.
01:32:49
Speaker 1: Oh, good point, Costa.
01:32:49
Speaker 4: Double brick or nothing.
01:32:51
Speaker 16: Double brick, mate, that's it. Double brick.
01:32:53
Speaker 1: Some columns. You guys like columns?
01:32:55
Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
01:32:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, you love a good column.
01:32:56
Speaker 16: I've got columns in my house.
01:32:57
Speaker 1: I bet you do, Costa. Do you have a favourite Christmas lights location to go to, Costa?
01:33:06
Speaker 16: Yeah, well, I like the St Peter's ones, but growing up down sort of Semaphore Way, I used to go to Pelham Street, Esselton.
01:33:12
Speaker 1: Ah, yeah, Pelham Street's great. Yeah, that's a good nomination, Costa. Good on you. Well played. That was excellent. Ezekiel, good morning.
01:33:19
Speaker 15: Morning.
01:33:19
Speaker 23: How are you?
01:33:20
Speaker 1: We're good, Ezekiel. Do you get into the Melbourne Cup at all?
01:33:24
Speaker 5: I hate Melbourne Cup. I hate horse racing.
01:33:26
Speaker 34: Really?
01:33:27
Speaker 1: Have you always hated horse racing or is it just something that, you know?
01:33:30
Speaker 15: Yeah.
01:33:31
Speaker 5: No, I just hate what betting and all that does for families and stuff.
01:33:34
Speaker 23: Yeah.
01:33:35
Speaker 1: No, that's fair enough.
01:33:36
Speaker 3: I don't like it.
01:33:37
Speaker 4: With you, Ezekiel.
01:33:38
Speaker 1: It does. We do put a focus on it as a country, don't we? What was your best subject at school, Ezekiel? We've got year 12 exams going on at the moment.
01:33:47
Speaker 5: Probably English.
01:33:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, English, I'd say. Did it take you anywhere professionally, English? Did you sort of work in that?
01:33:55
Speaker 5: No, well, not really. I haven't done anything specifically like with English, but I think, yeah, it just helped that I'm a good communicator. Yeah.
01:34:06
Speaker 1: Is Robbie Williams box office, Ezekiel?
01:34:10
Speaker 5: Not to me, but I know he is for plenty of other people. It's not really my style as such, but, yeah, I think he's pretty huge.
01:34:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, he played at the Melbourne Cup earlier this week as well. When was the last time you went into a David Jones, Ezekiel?
01:34:26
Speaker 5: Oh, I reckon I went into one here in the mall about three or four weeks ago and bought some trousers.
01:34:34
Speaker 15: Yeah.
01:34:34
Speaker 19: There you go.
01:34:35
Speaker 1: It's a good one-stop shop for your clothing.
01:34:37
Speaker 3: It is.
01:34:37
Speaker 1: So we thought. Anyway, the model itself is obviously under a deal of strain. Ezekiel, thank you. Let's go to Doreen in Modbury Heights. Doreen, good morning to you.
01:34:46
Speaker 37: Good morning. I thought I was going to do the one where what you found.
01:34:52
Speaker 5: Oh.
01:34:53
Speaker 4: Well, tell us what you found then.
01:34:54
Speaker 37: I found my husband 57, 58 years ago at the Adelaide railway station.
01:35:02
Speaker 4: And did he look like he didn't belong to anyone else?
01:35:06
Speaker 3: No.
01:35:07
Speaker 37: Yeah, he was a stray, so I got him.
01:35:11
Speaker 3: He was a stray.
01:35:11
Speaker 1: You took him in.
01:35:13
Speaker 4: Beautiful work.
01:35:13
Speaker 1: Made a man of him, Doreen. Hey, since you're on the line, you might as well answer some Feedback Friday questions. What do you think?
01:35:18
Speaker 16: Okay.
01:35:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, why not? You win a prize. It's guaranteed this way.
01:35:21
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're guaranteed to win something.
01:35:23
Speaker 1: Do you have jacarandas on your street, Doreen? They're blooming at the moment.
01:35:27
Speaker 25: No.
01:35:29
Speaker 16: No.
01:35:29
Speaker 37: We have box brushes.
01:35:32
Speaker 3: Oh, do you?
01:35:33
Speaker 1: On your property or just in the street?
01:35:35
Speaker 25: In the street.
01:35:36
Speaker 1: Oh, beautiful. Did you finish year 12, Doreen? Did anyone finish year 12 when you were going through? It would have been fairly rare, wouldn't it?
01:35:45
Speaker 12: Yes, a lot of.
01:35:45
Speaker 37: People finished year 12. I didn't, but a lot did.
01:35:49
Speaker 1: What would you say? Would it have been half? Would it have been three quarters of people? What proportion?
01:35:55
Speaker 37: Oh, now I'm an old lady, so I wouldn't have it.
01:36:00
Speaker 1: There was a lot. Yeah, okay.
01:36:02
Speaker 3: All right.
01:36:02
Speaker 37: In our school, the school that I went to.
01:36:05
Speaker 23: Yeah.
01:36:06
Speaker 1: You sound sharp to me, Doreen. Who would be your nomination for South Australian of the Year? We had the awards last night. If you say South Australian of the Year to you, is there someone that stands out that should get a recognition?
01:36:22
Speaker 25: Grant Stephens.
01:36:24
Speaker 3: Yeah.
01:36:25
Speaker 1: Good one, Doreen. We're about to be the governor of South Australia.
01:36:29
Speaker 4: I think he was last year. He was one of the winners.
01:36:31
Speaker 1: He was one of the nominees for Australian of the Year. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, you're absolutely correct. Good on you, Doreen. On the right path. All right. Now, we have the Smeg Toaster, the Grazio Foods meat pack, and a $ 50 Colac voucher from the Relax Bars at Bootleg Social with share plates and wood-fired pizzas. It's a premium dining at Elliot's or Cocktails and Waterfront Views upstairs. The Colac has something for everyone. Who wins what?
01:36:53
Speaker 4: I think Doreen gets the Smeg.
01:36:55
Speaker 26: Yep.
01:36:56
Speaker 4: Costa, good Greek boy, gets the meat pack.
01:36:58
Speaker 19: Oh, yeah.
01:36:59
Speaker 4: Ezekiel gets the Colac voucher.
01:37:00
Speaker 1: Well done, Stace.
01:37:01
Speaker 4: Well done, everyone.
01:37:02
Speaker 3: Nice work.
01:37:02
Speaker 1: How about you, Doreen? That rule left you hanging at the start there.
01:37:05
Speaker 3: What was that?
01:37:06
Speaker 1: What was happening there?
01:37:07
Speaker 4: Have I got this wrong? Is it a non-Greek Costa? Does one exist?
01:37:10
Speaker 1: I thought for a moment it was a bit like when you asked the Premier yesterday about commercial incompetence and the phone line just went silent.
01:37:16
Speaker 4: I have that effect on people.
01:37:18
Speaker 1: I'm thinking it's a you problem. Let's check traffic. The Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Performance Hybrid has arrived at Jarvis Toyota combining iconic strength with advanced hybrid power.
01:37:29
Speaker 2: Knock down, build two with Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes, they do it all for you.
01:37:37
Speaker 24: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
01:37:42
Speaker 1: Five to nine, we'll count down the top five moments of the week in just a moment. We have a meat tray to give away first, though, thanks to Olga's Fine Foods, 31 Hindemarsh Avenue, Welland.
01:37:50
Speaker 4: I think it has to go to our first caller today, Warwick in Mitcham.
01:37:54
Speaker 1: Great story.
01:37:54
Speaker 4: He found an uncle. Found an uncle. On Ancestry.com.
01:37:58
Speaker 1: Doing the DNA test. They discovered his dad had a brother.
01:38:02
Speaker 9: Crazy.
01:38:02
Speaker 1: Unbelievable story.
01:38:04
Speaker 4: And I just have to read this text quickly from Nicole, who won the Robbie Williams ticket. She said, thank you so much for the tickets. I've just called my daughter and told her. When she asked me how I won, I explained I had to call you and tell you about my favourite smell. She straight away said, it's my special baby hand sanitiser, wasn't it?
01:38:20
Speaker 1: Good on you, Nicole. I hope you guys have a wonderful time at Robbie tomorrow night.
01:38:24
Speaker 3: It's been the top five of the week.
01:38:28
Speaker 1: The lads are very excited about the top five this week.
01:38:30
Speaker 23: Yeah.
01:38:30
Speaker 4: They said this could be one of the best ever.
01:38:32
Speaker 1: Patty and Jess. All right, let's see. Gay, good morning.
01:38:35
Speaker 29: Good morning, guys.
01:38:36
Speaker 25: I'm 71 and I'd really like them to lift my boobs.
01:38:41
Speaker 3: Hey!
01:38:44
Speaker 19: Yes, Gay.
01:38:45
Speaker 11: Yes.
01:38:46
Speaker 36: Now, that's a challenge for them.
01:38:49
Speaker 1: Challenge for the Reserve Bank as we ask people what you'd like them to lift instead of rates. Good start, fellas. Yeah, good start. The Treasurer is called in, Tom Coates and Diana. Treasurer, good morning.
01:39:00
Speaker 23: I'm pretty stunned at the incompetence at Adelaide City Council. I actually think this council now has become so woke, has become so distracted by its own reflection. Rescind this motion, don't rescind this motion. Bring on the March election in Adelaide City Council and hopefully the ratepayers of Adelaide see sense and elect people who are serious about governing our city.
01:39:21
Speaker 1: Hey, Treasurer, Tom Kurtz is on us. I think that was the most positive feedback he's ever elicited from text messages in his long political career. When on Tuesday morning, I think it was, he rang in to have a crack at the City Council for going back and forth on whether they do or don't want fossil fuel advertising on events in the city. Number three.
01:39:40
Speaker 8: And I saw this beautiful beagle, quite an old looking dog, wandering down my street. And I thought, oh, I don't think he or she is meant to be out. So Phoenix, this beautiful beagle in the Unley Goodwood area, is now in my backyard.
01:39:53
Speaker 1: For Meat Tray Friday, we have the Olga's Fine Foods Meat Trader giveaway. It was inspired by a chat we had with Jess Adamson from the newsroom. She's found Phoenix the beagle. Well, in an update, we can tell you we've found Ralph. who's Phoenix's owner. Ralph, this must be a big relief, mate.
01:40:09
Speaker 11: Well, I've been up to two.
01:40:10
Speaker 30: In the morning driving around. Yeah, but he's all happy now and.
01:40:13
Speaker 12: He's just had breakfast.
01:40:14
Speaker 1: Ralph and Phoenix reunited earlier in the program. We learnt in that chat that Ralph's actually, they lost two dogs last night and he spent all night driving around looking for them. Sue found in the first instance Phoenix with the help of Jess Adamson who we also learnt carries around emergency smackos. Number two. Hayden Nelson for 7 News and Sunrise is at the scene of something that is somewhat odd this morning. Hayden, you're at the Pat.
01:40:39
Speaker 28: I should be really clear.
01:40:40
Speaker 5: I should have told you producers.
01:40:41
Speaker 33: I've just stuck down to Moseley Square to grab a coffee.
01:40:43
Speaker 29: But at the Pat this morning is the scene of.
01:40:47
Speaker 3: Hey, Hayden, it's radio, mate.
01:40:48
Speaker 1: We're not going to... You're not going to go to jail.
01:40:50
Speaker 4: We wouldn't have known.
01:40:52
Speaker 5: You know, this is one of those things you worry about on TV.
01:40:54
Speaker 33: You know, you don't sing necessarily for radio, but just in case anyone.
01:40:58
Speaker 1: Your guilty conscience is now clear, Hayden.
01:41:01
Speaker 4: Let's pretend you're at the Pat. What can you see?
01:41:04
Speaker 1: It's our live cross to the scene with Hayden Nelson, who'd actually ducked away from the scene to have a coffee. We didn't know any of that until he was stricken by the guilts.
01:41:12
Speaker 4: Meteor has actually been in touch, so watch out, Hayden.
01:41:15
Speaker 1: There will be a statement on.
01:41:15
Speaker 14: That, yeah.
01:41:17
Speaker 3: Number one.
01:41:18
Speaker 36: I've got a solution for your problem.
01:41:20
Speaker 31: If you break the law, you won't get fined, will you?
01:41:22
Speaker 1: That's true.
01:41:23
Speaker 34: Yeah.
01:41:24
Speaker 9: Well, hang on.
01:41:25
Speaker 1: I suppose the problem with that, Marge, in 25% of the cases, at very least, where this has been used, the people didn't break the law.
01:41:31
Speaker 33: That's rubbish.
01:41:32
Speaker 1: Well, that's a fact. Marge, Marge. Yes, the world's full of idiots, Marge.
01:41:38
Speaker 17: Stop making excuses for them.
01:41:40
Speaker 1: What do you mean rubbish? That's an established fact. The city council will tell you that themselves.
01:41:46
Speaker 36: They're making excuses for everybody.
01:41:48
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, Marge, Marge, Marge. These people have been found guilty. Marge has hung up. Marge didn't want to hear it. No, that was good earlier in the week. Marge, who was the biggest defender of AI... finding cars that you're going to find in South Australia.
01:41:59
Speaker 4: You're making excuses for them, Will.
01:42:01
Speaker 1: Big fan of AI technology finding people is Marge, which, you know, there's something for everyone, which is what we like.
01:42:08
Speaker 4: And hey, Andrew, great list, boys. Your confidence was well warranted.
01:42:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a good list. Well done, lads. Good way to round out the week. Fuel Watch, thanks to the RAA. Don't get stuck on the side of the road. Get RAA road service. The two cheapest spots, the Solo Marion Road Marion, $ 2. 12. 5. For unleaded, for diesel, it's the Solo Nailsworth, Main North Road, $ 2.
01:42:29
Speaker 3: 52. 5.
01:42:29
Speaker 1: Have a wonderful weekend, folks. We'll catch you Monday morning from 6.
01:42:32
Speaker 12: I was trying to find my way along But all I heard was.
01:42:39
Speaker 15: A drum Good morning, good show, nice to see you all the time.
01:42:44
Speaker 24: I think that's stumps as far as I can tell.
01:42:46
Speaker 34: Good luck on Saturday.
01:42:47
Speaker 10: This is Radio Nowhere Is anybody alive?
