FIVEAA Breakfast with Will & Stacey - 17 September 2026

00:00:00
Speaker 1: Good morning, gentlemen.
00:00:01
Speaker 2: Long-time caller, first-time.
00:00:06
Speaker 3: Listener.
00:00:06
Speaker 4: Not after six. Good morning to you. Welcome to Thursday on 5AA Breakfast, 17th of September.
00:00:29
Speaker 5: We're going to put you in the running, someone with an old TV this morning, in the running to get a brand new upgrade. It's going to happen really soon if you get in today because you can have the new TV in place by Grand Final Day next week. Speaking of Grand Final Day, day four of our AFL Grand Final. Tickets, flights, accommodation, competition. What's this day? So we've had three clues thus far. For the people that have got a spreadsheet at home, and I know, Stacey, you've got a spreadsheet.
00:00:52
Speaker 6: I've got it all here.
00:00:53
Speaker 5: You're tackling this competition with a newfound sense of purpose and professionalism, and I've never seen anything like it. Because you've whittled it down.
00:01:00
Speaker 7: I fear we have whittled it down to too few options.
00:01:04
Speaker 5: Okay. Well, that's exciting for people that are listening. Make sure you have 8223 0055 plugged into your phone because Stacey's Matrix is closing in on the answer. And if hers is, I bet there's people listening who are doing something similar. Looking forward to that. Really looking forward to Bruce McEvaney coming up on the program after seven. The Dennis Committee documentary, Centimeter Perfect, is coming out. Bruce is obviously a huge part of the Dennis Committee story. We'll talk to him. about his wonderful calling, mate. The two of them were just absolutely spectacular together. Matt Abraham, after 7.30, will determine the week's biggest louver. How high is petrol going to go? How long's the piece of string? None of the noises out of the Middle East are great on the fuel front. Peter Trask from the RAA will talk us through precisely what we can expect to see at the Bowser, and then Fitzy's going to tell you who's playing in the AFL Grand Final when he tips the prelim finals after eight. How are you this morning, Stace?
00:01:55
Speaker 8: I'm good, thank you. And I'm really looking forward to our chat with Bruce McEvaney later today. I think we've created our own 5AA Hall of Fame because.
00:02:04
Speaker 7: He's already in all the other halls of fame.
00:02:08
Speaker 5: This is good. Well, this might be the last. We haven't had a Hall of Fame, but having created it now, it's the only one he's not in.
00:02:14
Speaker 7: Yes, he's in every single other Hall of Fame. What Hall of Fame would you be in?
00:02:20
Speaker 5: Oh, what a great question. Yeah.
00:02:22
Speaker 7: I think I'd.
00:02:22
Speaker 8: Be in a hall of fame for inefficient grocery shopping.
00:02:29
Speaker 5: Give us an example.
00:02:30
Speaker 8: I am the least efficient grocery shopper there is because I like to browse. My husband, when it comes to the groceries, he wants to get in and get out and just buy exactly what's on the list. I analyze the prices. I see what's on special. I compare the per unit price. I will look at what's– if I go to Aldi, I'll look at those two middle aisles, the aisles of doom, and check what the special buys are.
00:02:55
Speaker 7: I'll analyze whether our household needs a trumpet or a lawnmower.
00:02:58
Speaker 8: And I could take an hour and a half at the groceries.
00:03:03
Speaker 5: Oh, this is good. I say, in contrast, and I can give a yesterday example, I think I'm the hall of fame man shopper. I had to buy a pair of shorts yesterday. Mm-hmm. I drove from here. It was the first thing I did after the show. I drove from here to West Lakes and I parked the car and I returned to the car with my new pair of shorts within five minutes.
00:03:24
Speaker 9: How?
00:03:25
Speaker 5: Well, I knew what I wanted.
00:03:26
Speaker 3: You didn't go into any other stores?
00:03:27
Speaker 5: And I went and just got them.
00:03:28
Speaker 7: You didn't try them on?
00:03:29
Speaker 1: Nope.
00:03:30
Speaker 5: I knew the size I wanted. I knew the style because Hall of Fame efficiency shopper, do you think I was buying a new and different pair to before?
00:03:38
Speaker 9: No.
00:03:38
Speaker 10: No.
00:03:39
Speaker 5: I love this question. What Hall of Fame are you in, folks? 8223 0000. Text us on 048 08 13 95. Is that Patty who said napping? You have to in this job.
00:03:48
Speaker 7: I think he had a four-hour nap the other day. It's better than my baby.
00:03:51
Speaker 5: Hall of Fame napping. That's great. At what point does a nap just become a sleep?
00:03:56
Speaker 6: Yeah.
00:03:56
Speaker 5: That's a sleep, I reckon.
00:03:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good question.
00:03:58
Speaker 5: That's almost another. You have nights where you don't get that much sleep. Put yourself in a Hall of Fame, folks.
00:04:03
Speaker 9: 8223 0000.
00:04:03
Speaker 5: Text us on 048 08 13 95. Phil says Hall of Fame. For grumpy old men. No, we love your grumpy old men-ness, Phil. It's good. It energises us. It gives us ideas for the show. What Hall of Fame are you in?
00:04:20
Speaker 6: 8223 0000.
00:04:20
Speaker 5: There's a Hall of Fame sunrise this morning. They're getting really early.
00:04:24
Speaker 6: They are.
00:04:24
Speaker 5: But driving towards the hills, and I copped every red light on the way in, so I had plenty of time to admire it. It was one of those beautiful mornings where there was no cloud and it was impossible to see where the orange light And the orange ended and the blue began. They sort of melted into one another. I bet we've got listeners who have got spectacular photos this morning because it was just such a clear... Well, there you go. We do.
00:04:49
Speaker 11: Yep.
00:04:50
Speaker 8: Mike and Ross Trevor has sent us a beautiful photo. He said it's a brilliant start to the day, but it is so cold.
00:04:57
Speaker 5: Feels like 0.3 in Turingi. Oh, my goodness. It's actually... The maximum temperatures over the next three days don't tell the whole story. It is going to be, the mornings are still going to be pretty cool. 2.8 at Turingi is the actual temperature. Let's go to Hallett Cove. Linda, what hall of fame are you in?
00:05:16
Speaker 12: Well, as you know, I got married 50 years ago.
00:05:20
Speaker 6: Yes.
00:05:21
Speaker 12: They used to read out telegrams at the wedding, at the reception. And they read out a telegram from John. I was born in Liverpool. John, Paul, George and Ringo. And I didn't know what to think, but I did find out a few hours later that it was my three brothers who'd hooked me.
00:05:44
Speaker 5: Oh, had they? Oh, no.
00:05:50
Speaker 6: Oh, dear.
00:05:50
Speaker 12: It's not improved either in 50 years.
00:05:54
Speaker 7: But for a while you thought it was real.
00:05:55
Speaker 13: Oh, I did.
00:05:58
Speaker 12: Yeah, you know, why not? I was 19 and getting married and I thought, They've phoned us about it and they've sent me an email.
00:06:05
Speaker 5: How nice is that?
00:06:06
Speaker 12: A telegram.
00:06:07
Speaker 13: A telegram.
00:06:08
Speaker 5: The Beatles decided to contact you. That's excellent, Linda. Thank you.
00:06:12
Speaker 12: 8223 0000.
00:06:12
Speaker 5: What hall of fame are you in, folks? Put yourself in one, a la Bruce McIverney. You can text us on 04808 1395. Michael and Ross Trevor's on the line. Morning, Michael.
00:06:25
Speaker 11: My God, it's cold up here at the top of Turingi.
00:06:27
Speaker 14: It's blowing.
00:06:28
Speaker 5: Your picture, Michael, that you've sent us is spectacular.
00:06:31
Speaker 15: Thank you.
00:06:32
Speaker 11: That's my hall of fame.
00:06:34
Speaker 5: Do you think that's the best sunrise you've ever taken a picture of?
00:06:37
Speaker 3: No, no, no.
00:06:38
Speaker 11: I took a photo and I actually printed it off and gave it to you in the office.
00:06:47
Speaker 5: The phone line's not helping you. You must be that cold weather.
00:06:51
Speaker 8: I actually think Michael should be in the hall of fame of morning walks. Because no matter what day it is, no matter the weather, we get a photo of the sunrise or the frost in the middle of winter, the ice on the grass.
00:07:03
Speaker 5: He braves it no matter what.
00:07:04
Speaker 7: Yep, he braves it. So I reckon we'll put Michael in the Hall of Fame for morning walks.
00:07:08
Speaker 5: For those playing at home, Bruce McEvaney is in the Sport Australia Hall of Fame, the TV Week Loggie Hall of Fame, the Australian Football Hall of Fame, the SA Football Hall of Fame, the Racing SA Hall of Fame and the Sport SA Hall of Fame. Lynne says she's in the Hall of Fame for loving India. I've been 32 times.
00:07:28
Speaker 7: That is incredible.
00:07:30
Speaker 5: You know what?
00:07:30
Speaker 7: I think we've got her on the phone.
00:07:31
Speaker 5: Oh, Lynne, 32 times. So when was the first time you went to India?
00:07:36
Speaker 16: 2005.
00:07:39
Speaker 5: And was it just a holiday that you just randomly... No, no, no.
00:07:44
Speaker 17: It was part of my work. I was in education and... I worked with the Christian Brothers at Ross Trevor College, and they had a worldwide justice symposium in Kolkata, and I was one of 160 people across the world chosen to go there.
00:08:05
Speaker 6: Wow. And it got.
00:08:07
Speaker 17: Into my soul, I guess. And then Ross Trevor had a pilgrimage to India for the boys, and as part of my role there, I was... I led that pilgrimage and then I moved to another school and I did the same. So I used to take students to work with the sick and the poor.
00:08:29
Speaker 7: And so you've been more than once a year.
00:08:32
Speaker 8: So you've been 32 times in 25 years.
00:08:36
Speaker 17: I've taken about 17 groups of students. to work with the poor and the sick in an authentic way, not a voluntourism, you know, authentic relationships with communities, the same communities each year. And I find a trooper's simplicity, you know, so no soft drinks, ice creams. My book's coming out in December about this kind of thing. And then because I develop such deep relationships with people over there, I've been... I've been by myself as well and taken others as well.
00:09:11
Speaker 5: Wow, Lynne, that's remarkable. That is unarguable. You are absolutely in the Hall of Fame for loving India. Yeah.
00:09:18
Speaker 3: She's the CEO.
00:09:19
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's right. I think it would be a shame to put anyone else in the Hall of Fame next year, Lynne. That's remarkable. Thank you for that. Let's go to Julie. Morning to you, Julie.
00:09:29
Speaker 18: Morning.
00:09:29
Speaker 16: How are you?
00:09:30
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, Julie, what are you in the Hall of Fame for?
00:09:33
Speaker 16: Oh, time management.
00:09:34
Speaker 5: Oh, do tell.
00:09:36
Speaker 16: My whole life was running against the clock in my working life and everything that I've done up until now. And now that I've retired, I'm up here at Noosa trying to break the habit.
00:09:48
Speaker 7: Oh, go you.
00:09:49
Speaker 5: So do you still find yourself writing a daily schedule and organising it?
00:09:54
Speaker 16: Yeah, look, Clockwatch, well, I was very good at it. I ran a home service business and my clients, expected me on the dot, and if I ever ran a minute late, they'd panic, and I made a rod for my own back all my life. You don't consult.
00:10:11
Speaker 5: Do you, Julie? Paddy wants to know, our producer. He needs a bit of help managing Stacey and I.
00:10:17
Speaker 17: That's what people say, and I say, no, I'm trying to break the habit now.
00:10:22
Speaker 5: How's Noosa this morning, Julie?
00:10:24
Speaker 16: Beautiful morning.
00:10:25
Speaker 14: Beautiful morning.
00:10:25
Speaker 5: It's a nice spot, isn't it? Good on you.
00:10:27
Speaker 9: Lovely, lovely morning.
00:10:29
Speaker 16: Played golf yesterday. Having a day off today.
00:10:31
Speaker 10: Trying to break the habit.
00:10:33
Speaker 7: Are you just on holiday still?
00:10:35
Speaker 16: Yeah, I'm still on holidays. I'll be heading home next week. But yeah, it's been a nice time to.
00:10:40
Speaker 10: Break the habit.
00:10:41
Speaker 16: Literally, that's why I came. To learn to relax and have a holiday.
00:10:46
Speaker 5: Well, you get back to relaxing, Julie. Hop back into bed. Enjoy the morning. Good on you, Julie. Lovely to chat with you. Let's go to Woodcroft. Rod, good morning.
00:10:54
Speaker 19: Yes, it's I Don't Give a Damn Rod here, guys.
00:10:56
Speaker 6: Hello, Rod.
00:10:57
Speaker 5: Are you in the hall of fame for not giving a damn?
00:11:00
Speaker 19: Well, that's one of them, but I think the more important one is that I reckon I'm the only nobody that's been on Cornsy's Conversations.
00:11:08
Speaker 15: Oh.
00:11:08
Speaker 5: When were you on, Rod?
00:11:11
Speaker 19: Oh, a couple of years ago.
00:11:12
Speaker 5: You're clearly not a nobody then. Yeah.
00:11:15
Speaker 19: Well, it was titled The Story of an Ordinary Bloke.
00:11:20
Speaker 11: Yeah.
00:11:22
Speaker 19: And Cornsy thought I had an interesting life. So I travelled a lot and played music and all sorts of funny things like that. So he decided, I think it was around COVID time, he couldn't find a lot of people that he wanted to because of COVID. And I've known Cornsy for a long while and he decided to put me on. So there you go.
00:11:43
Speaker 5: Rod, I need to go back and listen to that one now, now to get a bit of insight.
00:11:46
Speaker 8: You know what?
00:11:46
Speaker 7: I don't think I will because I don't give a damn, Rod. No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
00:11:49
Speaker 13: We love your work.
00:11:51
Speaker 5: Thank you, Rod. Con's wondering if FIFA would have him in their Hall of Fame. They should. I think, Con, for services to the world game in an AFL Mad City, you absolutely deserve to be in the FIFA Hall of Fame. Tell us the Hall of Fame you're in, folks. 8223 0000. The number will be back in just a moment.
00:12:10
Speaker 1: That is.
00:12:11
Speaker 5: Oh, that's what it is.
00:12:14
Speaker 20: Knockdown.
00:12:15
Speaker 4: Bill 2. With Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment.
00:12:20
Speaker 6: Metro Homes.
00:12:21
Speaker 4: They do it all for you.
00:12:22
Speaker 21: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:12:27
Speaker 5: 24 minutes after six. We need to call Jimbo because Jimbo's story on the text line deserves further interrogation, albeit we'll do so delicately. Our appreciating people might be eating their breakfast. We're asking you what you're in the Hall of Fame for. Gee, there are some amazing entries coming through.
00:12:44
Speaker 7: Some great entries. Andrew, I'd be in the Hall of Fame for strategic shopping.
00:12:49
Speaker 8: I research the product I want, the place that has it at the cheapest price, how to get there and where to park.
00:12:56
Speaker 5: I could see that in Andrew's texts. Andrew's forensic and scientific with how he approaches issues. So it makes sense that that spills into the shopping realm as well.
00:13:06
Speaker 15: Yep.
00:13:06
Speaker 8: By the way, AI is very good at finding the cheapest price for a certain item for you.
00:13:11
Speaker 7: I have become obsessed with it for that.
00:13:13
Speaker 5: You and AI.
00:13:14
Speaker 6: I know.
00:13:15
Speaker 5: I've done a total U-turn. We're going to need to have an intervention up there. Anyway. Daniel says, this is, Daniel says, Hall of Fame, I have 58 weeks of annual leave. 58. So a year and a month plus some.
00:13:28
Speaker 8: And that's annual leave. What about your, I assume you've been at the same workplace for that long.
00:13:32
Speaker 7: So do you have long service leave and sick leave and all?
00:13:37
Speaker 5: Whatever else you get? They're never going to sack Daniel because it'll bankrupt the company, I think. That's extraordinary. Let's go to Parkside. David, what are you in the Hall of Fame for?
00:13:46
Speaker 15: In the Hall of Fame for fishing.
00:13:49
Speaker 5: Oh, tell us about you. What's your proudest catch, David?
00:13:53
Speaker 15: My proudest catch would be between fishing off a remote island in the Indian Ocean off Western Australia or catching barramundi up in remote locations in the Northern Territory. or fishing in the far west coast around Salisbury.
00:14:15
Speaker 6: Oh, beautiful.
00:14:16
Speaker 15: Fishing for big salmon, barramundi, and anything else you can dream of.
00:14:22
Speaker 6: David.
00:14:23
Speaker 5: Yeah, you sound like you deserve a place in the Hall of Fame for fishing, David. What a series of experiences. Thank you. Keep them coming through. 8223 0000 is our number. We will get to some more of your Hall of Fame entries and then the Hall of Famer himself, Bruce McEvaney, coming on after 7 o'clock this morning. So it's 8.9 degrees outside. The apparent temperature, though, just 5.6. That's the bad news. The good news is it's going to be 18, but sunny, light winds, clear sky. This is going to be a beautiful looking day. And then tomorrow it gets pretty warm. 22 the expected top tomorrow, 25 Saturday and sunny tomorrow. No cloud on the forecast at all, in fact, over the next three days. Sunday, 23, mostly sunny. And next week, this is the nice part. This is not a sudden surge that dips away. This is looking like the norm. 18 Monday, 21 Tuesday, 23 Wednesday. We have, what's that? Five of the next six days will be 22 or above. Nothing forecast below 18.
00:15:19
Speaker 7: That is exciting.
00:15:20
Speaker 5: That is very, very exciting. Tom Rand has just wandered into the 5AA Breakfast. You look very stylish this morning, Randy. What's going on?
00:15:26
Speaker 13: Well, I just thought.
00:15:28
Speaker 3: The nice jacket. I just throw on whatever clothes I can find, basically.
00:15:31
Speaker 7: It is a nice jacket.
00:15:32
Speaker 5: Look at this. He looks like you're about to hit the town. Unbelievable.
00:15:36
Speaker 3: Purple little shirt underneath.
00:15:38
Speaker 5: A little taken aback. Call Glider right now. We're a new door operator. Before the end of September, we received two extra handsets.
00:15:45
Speaker 8: I love this.
00:15:46
Speaker 22: Yeah.
00:15:46
Speaker 7: What is it, a bromance?
00:15:47
Speaker 5: A little bromance. No, Randy's always in active wear because he's an active man.
00:15:51
Speaker 3: He's always out getting fit. I can't get to the gym this.
00:15:53
Speaker 5: Morning, unfortunately. So you thought you'd go to the nightclub instead.
00:15:56
Speaker 3: You'd go to the nightclub. You're exactly right. Still a bit of doof-doof and all of that kind of stuff. I wouldn't even know where to go anymore.
00:16:04
Speaker 6: No idea.
00:16:04
Speaker 7: Somewhere down Hindley Street.
00:16:05
Speaker 5: Crybaby.
00:16:06
Speaker 3: I'll go to Crybaby.
00:16:07
Speaker 5: Crybaby.
00:16:07
Speaker 3: Like the 80s. That's the 80s music.
00:16:10
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's the one.
00:16:10
Speaker 5: That's actually for, it's not for young people at all that places.
00:16:13
Speaker 7: Everyone's over the age of 40.
00:16:14
Speaker 5: It's for old people like us.
00:16:15
Speaker 7: It actually closes at 10pm.
00:16:18
Speaker 3: So you can get up nice and early.
00:16:19
Speaker 6: It is good.
00:16:20
Speaker 5: Exactly.
00:16:21
Speaker 22: Guys, more changes for the Crows. Lockie Scholl and Tyler Welsh. A bit disappointing with Tyler Welsh, isn't it? You know, it felt like at the time, He's the son of Scott Welsh. When he came on, it was going to be, you know, hopefully another generation of the Welsh is coming through, but it wasn't to be.
00:16:36
Speaker 5: So. Bit of a man child, wasn't he? In that he was physically developed at 16 and dominated underage competitions. But once the physicality gap closed, he's found it difficult to take the next step.
00:16:46
Speaker 3: That's exactly right.
00:16:48
Speaker 22: So, um, that hasn't worked out for, for those players. And look, Lockie Scholl, he did okay, but the writing was on the wall, wasn't it?
00:16:55
Speaker 3: Didn't play this year.
00:16:57
Speaker 22: Um, So, unfortunately, you could see it coming for him. That's just a natural byproduct of what happens. Teams tonight for Hawthorne and Brisbane and also Sydney and Freo. So we'll keep a close eye on that. But I was just thinking as well, a lot of talk. You know, the Crows now with those list changes, what are they going to be hunting or do they hunt? Do they try and regenerate through the draft or do they need to go quicker and go? I was saying to the boys, someone like Chad Warner, you know, We need to wait for everything to play out, but he would be. I don't think any of those players are going to be at Sydney next year.
00:17:31
Speaker 5: None of them?
00:17:32
Speaker 3: Well, Bice maybe. I think there's a few that will get them done.
00:17:36
Speaker 5: Nick Blakey sounds like he wants out.
00:17:37
Speaker 6: Yep.
00:17:38
Speaker 5: That's been widely reported. Chad Warner's from Perth originally, isn't he?
00:17:42
Speaker 6: Yes.
00:17:42
Speaker 5: I mean, closer in Adelaide to Perth, isn't it?
00:17:46
Speaker 3: A player like him.
00:17:47
Speaker 22: Now, you're taking on some baggage, clearly, and we need to wait for everything to... But they're the contemplators.
00:17:53
Speaker 5: Well, let's be clear for those playing at home. You're only contemplating that in the absence of some sort of criminality. Exactly.
00:17:59
Speaker 6: And.
00:18:00
Speaker 5: Spot on. You know, you have to have an internal conversation. Prodigious talent, culturally. Exactly. Yep.
00:18:07
Speaker 3: What's it going to do PR-wise?
00:18:09
Speaker 6: Yep.
00:18:09
Speaker 1: Fan base.
00:18:10
Speaker 5: These are all things you have to have conversations about. Talent alone couldn't be a better fit.
00:18:14
Speaker 2: Yep.
00:18:15
Speaker 5: Age is pretty good as well.
00:18:17
Speaker 6: Pretty good.
00:18:17
Speaker 3: Mid-20s.
00:18:19
Speaker 5: Yeah. A lot of clubs are going to be having those chats, aren't they? Big time.
00:18:23
Speaker 3: And do you back your culture to be able to absorb that?
00:18:29
Speaker 5: You'd be doing a lot of background as well around– again, we're presuming a lot about a criminal investigation that's going on.
00:18:36
Speaker 23: Yes.
00:18:38
Speaker 5: You do want to do a lot of work internally around clubs– People in the AFL, is this kind of one out of the box? Is there a pattern? Is there a pattern? Exactly. Exactly.
00:18:49
Speaker 13: So all to play out.
00:18:52
Speaker 22: And we'll do a bit of a sample grand final preview tomorrow, I think. We're going to be calling it, of course. So big game, first in 50 years that we've got between these two clubs. So we'll do that tomorrow.
00:19:01
Speaker 5: That is going to be excellent. Should be fun. Good on you, Ring. Good on you.
00:19:04
Speaker 13: Thanks, guys.
00:19:08
Speaker 4: 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.
00:19:16
Speaker 21: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:19:20
Speaker 5: 21 minutes to 7, police and weather coming up this half hour. Grand final ticket clue number four is not too far away. We're going to upgrade someone, put them on the shortlist to win an upgrade for their television as well, thanks to Harvey Norman. And Bruce McIverney after seven this morning on Centimeter Perfect, the Dennis Committee documentary. Cannot wait for that doco. Cannot wait for that chat. We've been waiting a long time for any movement on the. potential for a tram to North Adelaide.
00:19:52
Speaker 7: Is this ever happening?
00:19:54
Speaker 5: This is a weird one, though, isn't it? Because it seems like there's not a whole lot of opposition to this.
00:20:00
Speaker 18: No.
00:20:00
Speaker 5: The barrier to entry on the tram to North Adelaide is the cost of upgrading the Adelaide Bridge along King William Street. But it's one of those... There's not too many development public transport sorts of upgrade stories in Adelaide that you get largely in the absence of opposition. And this is one, it just makes so much sense.
00:20:19
Speaker 7: Particularly surrounding trams.
00:20:21
Speaker 5: Particularly, correct.
00:20:22
Speaker 3: Usually there's conjecture.
00:20:23
Speaker 5: Absolutely there is. The reason we talk about it this morning is because designs for a O'Connell Street upgrade were presented to councillors at Tuesday night's Infrastructure and Public Works Committee yesterday. as reported by InDaily. So there's a whole bunch of stuff that's in this, you might imagine, you know, extra tree, canopy, footpath upgrades, some pretty stuff to look at and so forth. One note, though, has caused some eyebrows to be raised. A no significant work zone along the central median strip reserved for a future tram network extension. Adelaide City Councillor Phil Martin joins us. Phil, to Stacey's question, is this going to happen?
00:21:06
Speaker 1: Well, we all live in hope.
00:21:09
Speaker 24: We live in hope.
00:21:11
Speaker 5: Is it as simple as working out who it is that funds the upgrade of the Adelaide Bridge?
00:21:17
Speaker 25: Oh, look, I think there's a general acknowledgement that if the tram goes ahead, it will require significant funds, probably funds that are beyond the capacity of the City of Adelaide to replace the bridge. And the reinforcement or the replacement of the bridge... would be naturally a part of the construction cost of the tram. It is a decision for the state government. However, having said that, embarking on a $ 30 million upgrade of the O'Connell Street precinct, along with upgrades across the entire precinct network in Adelaide, we've taken the cautious step of making sure that we do nothing that would impede the introduction of a tram to the precinct of North Adelaide. And look, it's a tremendous opportunity. It still remains. And it's not only a tram to North Adelaide. It could conceivably go further than North Adelaide into Prospect, either through Main North Road or up Prospect Road.
00:22:22
Speaker 7: Almost like we should bring back the old tram system.
00:22:24
Speaker 25: Oh, dear, dear, dear, dear.
00:22:28
Speaker 8: Okay, so you're doing the upgrade of O'Connell Street and you're leaving the median strip in case there's a tram in the future. You said it's up to the state government to probably fund the bridge at some point. Is there money in the budget anywhere, in the council budget, to put towards an upgrade.
00:22:47
Speaker 7: In the future?
00:22:50
Speaker 25: Well, look, there's always the funding necessary to meet the cost of changes to the road infrastructure. What we're saying is in the process of considering the upgrade to O'Connell Street, let's not spend money, let's not do anything that would mitigate against a government in the future determining that a tram will go along O'Connell Street. And look, I've got to tell you, there have been ongoing discussions for probably 10 years between the state and the city of Adelaide about what a tram might look like. And I can't tell you what a difference it would make. I think there's, as you were saying earlier, Stacey, I mean, there's universal agreement that it's a great initiative. Just imagine being able to catch a tram to Adelaide Oval for the duration it's there to the Women's and Children's Hospital and even further afield. It makes absolute sense. No one is opposed to it. The only impediment is the cost and the priority that's attached to the tram. over other public infrastructure works.
00:23:59
Speaker 8: While we've got you, Councillor Philip Martin, I wanted to ask you about a proposal to institute some rules around smart glasses. We spoke to Robert Sims yesterday who's introducing legislation to state parliament. I understand you're looking at this at a council level as well. What changes would you like to see made?
00:24:19
Speaker 25: Well, look, Stacey, I'm glad you raised the possibility of state legislation that I understand Rob is considering. I've merely proposed that the city should look at restricting or banning the use of such glasses in some circumstances, and that's heavily qualified, and I'll explain why in a moment, because there's no legislation... state or federal at this time that ensures that these are not misused. Unfortunately, technology has outpaced legislation and so there's a great capacity for people to be filmed in places doing things that they have absolutely no idea of because these glasses allow for the capturing of covert images. Now, Having said that, while they are capable of being misused, they also have great use for people with, for example, visual disabilities. People with visual disabilities are able to use these glasses to safely navigate their way around the street and to perform daily functions. Like, for example, a blind person used to be not able to read a menu in a restaurant. Wearing these glasses... They are able to look at a menu just like everybody else and have the contents of the menu read to them. It's the most extraordinary development and a great use of science. But sadly, there are people who are capable of misusing them. And the e-safety commissioner we know in Australia has studied this and found about 20% of users are misusing them. deliberately knowing that they are acting against the law or using them covertly. And, you know, for example, the concept of somebody filming in a change room where children or adults are changing in the parklands potentially is a real problem. We need to do something. But the moment there's federal or state or legislation that would provide some safety for people, there's no need for council involvement.
00:26:39
Speaker 6: All right.
00:26:39
Speaker 7: Appreciate your time this morning, Councillor Philip Martin there.
00:26:43
Speaker 8: I think this is a rare occasion where everyone would look at the Adelaide City Council's decision with the tram and say, good.
00:26:51
Speaker 5: Good, absolutely.
00:26:52
Speaker 8: Planning for the future, planning for a future state government's decision on a tram.
00:26:56
Speaker 5: I'll go one step further. Listen to Phil Martin. I've got sympathy for the Adelaide City Council. I don't know how many times I've said that before. Maybe it's the first. But from their perspective– The state government will, when it behooves them, say, well, there is an event or a matter of importance greater than just local rape players, so we're going to take control of it. We're going to write legislation to override your control because this is beyond your remit. So too is the bridge, isn't it? That would benefit everyone outside of the city council. It's a huge project, but But because it's a funding-related issue, it's your bridge, it's your council area. If you're on a tram, you've got to find the cash. Obviously, they put up something in the state, but I have some sympathy for a city council that would look at that and go, okay, so when it suits you, you'll run roughshod over our rules. Totally. But then you'll be very hands-off when it comes to something that's going to cost a lot of money. Albeit, as you say, Stace, everyone thinks it's a good idea.
00:27:56
Speaker 25: Yep.
00:27:56
Speaker 8: At least they're planning ahead and they're going to maintain that median strip area so there can be a future tram.
00:28:02
Speaker 5: Hopefully that means they kind of know it's coming.
00:28:05
Speaker 26: Yeah.
00:28:05
Speaker 5: Hopefully.
00:28:05
Speaker 7: I don't know about that, but we'll see.
00:28:07
Speaker 5: Well, maybe they're just living in hope like the rest of us. You mentioned, too, bring back the entire tram network. 8223 0000, what would you bring back that's unique to Adelaide? So you can't say, you know, I don't know, The milk van. Yeah, milk delivery.
00:28:27
Speaker 6: That was universal.
00:28:28
Speaker 5: That's right. Vinyl records.
00:28:30
Speaker 7: The pie cart.
00:28:31
Speaker 5: The pie cart. That's a great entry. Things that we had past tense in Adelaide specifically, like the tram network. What would you bring back? 8223 0000. What other ideas can we get off the ground this morning? 04808 1395 text as well. Let's head to the weather bureau. Ellie Matthews is on duty. Really clear but cool sort of a morning, Ellie.
00:28:52
Speaker 27: Yeah, look, certainly those temperatures did get down around for the West Terrace site, down around that 5 or 6 degree mark. A bit cooler to the north and even out at the airport, getting down around that 3 degree mark this morning. Temperatures are slightly warmer than that at the moment, maybe more of a 7 to 9 degrees for most places. Still a touch cooler in a few of the suburbs. But generally today we are expecting warmer conditions than that of yesterday. We're looking to get to a forecast maximum of 18 degrees today for Adelaide and those sunny conditions prevailing throughout today be a touch cooler by the water. So Glenelg, a top of 16 degrees. Elizabeth, 19 degrees. No longer 16. Mount Barker, 18 today. And into the coming days, we do expect... to see some further warming. So this high-pressure system is expected to start to move east out over Victoria, and we'll start to see some of those winds shift around to be more northerly, bringing a bit more warmth over us in the coming days. Even by the time we get to Saturday, we could be looking at some of those temperatures getting up into the mid-20s, so we've got 25 degrees on the forecast for Adelaide on Saturday, even warmer for some of those northern summers, 26 for Elizabeth. So we're definitely looking to get a little bit warmer as the day goes on, but those sunny conditions are set to prevail right the way through the weekend, Will and Stacey.
00:30:17
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a good-looking forecast. Thank you, Ellie. Ellie Matthews at the Weather Bureau. Let's head to Saipol. Senior Constable Liam Bennett's on the line. Liam, a man's been arrested outside a fast food restaurant on South Road.
00:30:29
Speaker 18: Just before 5.30 this morning, when police were called to this fast food restaurant on South Road, after reports a man was using a large knife to cut branches from a tree in the car park. Now, when officers attended and searched the man, it'll be alleged that they located a knife along with a machete in his possession. They also found the man carrying a balaclava. Now, it's fair to say we don't believe he was out for an early morning gardening session. So the 38-year-old Pasadena man was arrested and charged with a number of offences, including carrying an offensive weapon and possessing an article of disguise. He has refused police bail and will appear in court later today.
00:31:06
Speaker 11: Okay.
00:31:08
Speaker 7: And a man's been arrested after lighting a fire in a toilet last night.
00:31:11
Speaker 18: Yeah, just after 10 o'clock last night, police were called to John Street at Salisbury following reports of a man causing a disturbance. A witness directed officers to a public toilet near the Salisbury interchange where security staff reported there was a man inside the toilet lighting a fire. Police actually saw smoke coming from the toilets before the man exited and he was promptly arrested. Police searched the amenities and found damage inside, so the 29-year-old Salisbury man was charged with multiple counts of arson in relation to the toilet fire, but as well as another series of bin fires that had been lit in the Salisbury CBD earlier in September. Now, he was barred to appear in the Elizabeth Magistrates' Court in October, and we just ask anyone who witnessed last night's incident or the incident back in September to contact Crimestoppers.
00:31:58
Speaker 5: Toilet fire on John Street, Liam. You just made that one up, didn't you?
00:32:02
Speaker 18: It's a road itself.
00:32:05
Speaker 5: Just lastly, I like this. A break-in attempt in Paraka last night.
00:32:09
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's right.
00:32:09
Speaker 18: It was just after four o'clock this morning when police were called to a bakery on Montague Road after reports of an attempted break-in occurred. it'll be alleged that staff were working inside making some freshly baked goods when they heard some noise coming from the front of the premises, and that'll be alleged that someone was trying to break in. Now, the people were disturbed by the bakers and left the area, and while police were there, they actually located another premises that had been broken into nearby. So police were at the scene investigating that this morning, and we just ask anyone who saw any suspicious activity in the area to call police.
00:32:44
Speaker 5: All right, good stuff. Thank you, Liam. Senior Constable Liam Bennett from Savepile. We're going to take a break. We'll check traffic and on the other side of it, we're taking you to Canberra. Big announcement today. We're going to get some detail on the federal government's new question mark there, improved, another question mark, migration policy.
00:33:02
Speaker 4: Knockdown Bill 2 with Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes, they do it all for you.
00:33:10
Speaker 21: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:33:17
Speaker 5: Five minutes to seven. Lots of terrific suggestions of things, a la the old tram network that people would bring back in South Australia. We'll get to some of those in just a moment. The big story you're going to hear about out of Canberra today is the full release of the federal government's migration policy, framed in the news reporting this morning as a bit of a crackdown. Zach De Silva is... political reporter at Capital Brief. Zach, good morning to you.
00:33:46
Speaker 11: Good morning. Good to be with you.
00:33:47
Speaker 5: Yeah, good to chat with you, Zach. Explain something for me. There's one line in all this reporting that has me confused. I hope I'm confused. Just about everywhere you read it, the preview for today contains a line with words to the effect of.
00:34:03
Speaker 5: The policy will aim to reduce net overseas migration to the level that was detailed in the budget. So is today's announcement just the same announcement that we got at the budget?
00:34:16
Speaker 11: Look, it's a really good question. What we're expecting today is some more detail about measures that the government will introduce to actually hit its net overseas migration target. Net overseas migration is, people who work in this area have told me, a really tricky thing to predict because it's the number of people entering Australia minus the number of people leaving Australia. Now, it's pretty easy to predict how many people are going to come to Australia because the government controls the visa processing system. They can speed up processing, they can slow it down, they can make it easier to get visas, they can make it harder to get visas. That bit's quite easy to manage. But it's almost impossible for them to predict... in a very accurate sense, the number of people leaving Australia. And so net overseas migration tends to bounce around a bit. But despite the government's efforts so far, it has not been able to hit the targets that it has set. So in the 25-26 financial year, it was about 300,000. That's the number of people, you know, the total number of people that migration has added to Australia. This financial year, the government wants to get that down to $ 245, 000. Now, it's going to have to take some pretty strong measures to get there. We haven't quite seen what those are going to be yet, and we're expecting Tony Burke's speech today will go to some of that detail of exactly how they're going to get that net overseas migration figure to where they want it to be.
00:35:43
Speaker 8: It's been reported that they'll give extra powers to Border Force to crack down on some of those people that are in the country that the government doesn't want to be here anymore.
00:35:54
Speaker 7: Is this going to be compared to ICE in America?
00:35:58
Speaker 11: Yeah, well, I mean, again, we'll have to wait. I suspect I'm going to say this to a lot of your questions, but I'm going to have to wait and see the detail. I asked Tony Burke's office yesterday whether they'd tell me what's in the speech, and they very politely said, no, we won't. It'll be a surprise. So, look, with that caveat that we've got to wait and see what There are a couple of things that seem to have leaked out of Cabinet. One is that there will be some targeting of visa overstayers. I doubt that the government will go as far as, say, what One Nation is proposing and immediately deport massive amounts of visa overstayers. I suspect we may well see an uptick in the amount of money going to border force to try and deal with this, but I don't think it will be on the same scale. as what we've seen from One Nation or what we've seen out.
00:36:49
Speaker 6: Of the US.
00:36:50
Speaker 11: The government is very aware of the politics of this and they don't want to be seen as overstepping into cruelty. We know there's also going to be some kind of crackdown on international students, potentially around international students accessing family reunion visas, which would allow them to bring their partner or their family here. They're some of the measures that seem to have kind of trickled out, but exactly how the government goes about this again. We're going to have to wait and see for the speech later today.
00:37:20
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're looking forward to it, Zach. Thank you. Appreciate the preview. Zach DeSilva, political reporter with Capital Brief. Do you know what this underscores to me? The total lack of enthusiasm with which previous overseas migration targets had been sought to be achieved. So, because they've never met the target. They've always been way over, this government. they have put a prediction out earlier this year that after the fact, they're going to explain now all these new measures are going to have to be introduced to get there. So it was just another target that they were never actually intending to hit because now they're coming out and say, well, all these new measures we're going to have to institute.
00:38:02
Speaker 8: I think people understand that post-COVID there would be an increase in the number of people. After the borders were closed, I think people understand that and probably would have forgiven... A year or two above normal numbers. But then, yes, why haven't you been able to bring it back down to that target figure that you've had for the last, what, three years?
00:38:21
Speaker 5: Well, and now it's a storm that threatens to consume the government. A fascinating story that will play out a little bit later today and you'll hear all the details here on 5AA.
00:38:30
Speaker 15: 5AA.
00:38:33
Speaker 4: 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.
00:38:42
Speaker 21: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:38:48
Speaker 5: Eight after seven, good morning to you. The sun is up on what is a beautiful morning in Adelaide. It looks nicer than it may feel. Not windy, but just cool out there. Certainly cool in the hills. Turingi, apparent temperature of 0.3. Michael, thank you for telling us that in the first hour of the program this morning. Big thanks to everyone who contributed to a conversation about things you'd like to see brought back. Uniquely Adelaide things, not just anything from history. Uniquely Adelaide things. We've been talking about the potential, just maybe, albeit small, for a North Adelaide tram extension. There is a no-go zone in an O'Connell Street upgrade, just in case there is an upgrade. Ben's poured a little bit, I think, of cold water on this, our stats man. He says the tram extension to East Terrace was 90%. metres and it cost $ 80 million a decade ago. The extension to just the start of O'Connell Street is $ 1K, likely would cost $ 180 million, and that's without the bridge upgrade. Now, Ben hasn't costed the bridge upgrade, but I think it lasts... $ 60? Yeah.
00:39:45
Speaker 10: So.
00:39:45
Speaker 5: $ 240 million. It's a lot of money.
00:39:52
Speaker 7: For a one kilometre tram.
00:39:54
Speaker 8: But like with all of these things, as Ben has just demonstrated, the longer you leave it, the more expensive it gets.
00:40:00
Speaker 5: That is true. These things don't get cheaper.
00:40:03
Speaker 8: Especially if you want more events in the city, bringing more people into the city. Maybe it's a good way of getting them there.
00:40:09
Speaker 5: Well, this is a good point. Other things that don't get cheaper and aren't getting cheaper anytime soon, the price of fuel. Yeah.
00:40:16
Speaker 8: Thanks to Mark for your text warning us prices could be going up.
00:40:20
Speaker 5: Patrick filled up for $ 2. 20 overnight. Let us know the most expensive you've seen it. Obviously, developments in the Middle East. I've put up a short list of things to talk to Pete and Atras about just based on headlines in the last 24 hours. the ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz, the Thursday bombing of the backup oil pipeline that Saudi Arabia had but was expanding, and now the Red Sea, the backup shipping route, has been at least partially compromised by the Houthis. These are three bad things that will inform how much you're going to pay at the Bowser. So we'll be talking about that with Peter Trask just before 7 o'clock and then after 7.30. Of course, it is a Thursday morning. We will be rating the biggest louver with Matt Abraham. Been looking forward to this all week. Next week on Wednesday night, we're going to get to see the wonderful documentary, Centimeter Perfect, about one of the greatest to have ever done it. Perhaps the greatest to have ever done it. The wonderful Dennis Committee, who for so long created the greatest partnership in commentary with our next guest, Bruce McIverney. Bruce, good morning to you.
00:41:27
Speaker 20: You too, Will and Stacey. I hope you enjoyed as much as I've enjoyed being part of it, Will. It was a Incredible experience for all of us at Channel 7 and I'm very proud of the end result of seeing a rough, rough cut of it and I can't wait for next Wednesday night.
00:41:43
Speaker 5: When did you first call together, Bruce, you and Dennis?
00:41:46
Speaker 20: In the 1990s, I reckon it would have been. Mid-1990s, I reckon, or early 1990s, so it's a long, long time ago. And he was this lanky guy out of Western Australia who I knew was a very good footballer and had done a lot of cricket for the ABC at the time and He already had forged a reputation and, yeah, that beautiful voice and a beautiful man, as I found out over the years.
00:42:12
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:42:12
Speaker 8: Well, tell us about what he was like behind the microphone. We all, of course, knew him as the great commentator he was, but to you, I imagine, a close friend, and what was he like?
00:42:23
Speaker 20: Yeah, Stacey, look, we started as colleagues and finished as friends, which I reckon is the ultimate compliment. He was quirky. He was always quirky.
00:42:30
Speaker 15: We had a.
00:42:32
Speaker 20: funny relationship when I say funny it was a deep relationship but Dennis would travel from Perth and I would travel from Adelaide to Melbourne we did this for about 20 years of calling Friday night football and we'd stay at the same hotel and we'd go down to the MCG and call the game but only twice a year we would really catch up and we'd do that at a breakfast on a Saturday morning sort of strategically third of the way through and two thirds of the way through the season then we'd yap about our families and where we were at and what our sort of understanding of the season was and how the anxieties we might have had about getting older and still doing it. So we shared these sort of things over the years. So we had that sort of relationship where we didn't plan anything when we were on air together. We didn't check one another's notes. We didn't know what the other one was really thinking. And yet it worked so well, I think, in the end. So, yeah, we had a very meaningful relationship. It was quite profound. And, you know, it grew as the years went on. My wife, Annie, got to know V. Dennis' wife, Will, and Mark, Dennis' son, we've got to know Will, and Ricky, his daughter. So they became family friends in so many ways.
00:43:40
Speaker 5: Like the great teams you guys called, it just became apparent to everyone that listened and enjoyed footy that you guys were such a wonderful team together. I'm intrigued by the development of that too, Bruce. You'd called sport for a fair while by the time you got together. Was it apparent to you immediately that there was a special sort of chemistry there, or do you feel like it took some time to develop?
00:44:02
Speaker 20: I think it took time, Will. We were both proud commentators when we got together, and there was probably a feeling that, you know, I'll continue to do it my way, and Dennis was so different to me. So I think it took a little while, but as that journey continued on and that time that we spent with one another in a broadcast box, I got to understand what made him tick, and I realised how hard he had to work to be Dennis. Now, I know how hard I have to work to be, you know, competent. And he, I realize, went through the same sort of processes as me. What I loved about him and what I hope he loved about me was our teamwork and that we had one another's back. Now, you know, you work with people. You two guys are working together on radio. You know that, you know, you're not always going to agree with one another. There are times when you don't think that, you know, what somebody might have said is exactly what, but you do have to be a team and you have to have one another's back and there's all sorts of ways of sort of discussing those sorts of things on air and we got to learn that with one another and I knew that I could trust him completely. You know, you can be... Over the years in my career, and I know for you guys it'll be similar, you're both experienced, there's a difference between enjoying one's company and completely trusting somebody. And with Dennis... I had both, and he had both with me. And that, I think, is the ultimate compliment, when you can completely trust somebody.
00:45:36
Speaker 8: Well, we're definitely looking forward to seeing the documentary next Wednesday, the 23rd of September at 8.30. But, Bruce, we couldn't have you on 5AA this morning without talking to you about the Sandville Grand Final this weekend, first time since 78 that Sturt and Norwood have gone head-to-head. And you were obviously involved in sample commentating for such a long period.
00:45:59
Speaker 3: That was your first year?
00:46:01
Speaker 20: Look, Stacey, I started calling in 1980, actually, 81. So that 78 grand final was extraordinary. I mean, I was working for 5DN in 10th Street, opposite Channel 9 at the time, you know, calling races and dogs and trots, et cetera. So, you know, an amazing match. I grew up a Norwood supporter. I idolized Hayden Button Jr., who was coaching Nord as a 19-year-old. Can you believe it? Captain coach. So Nord were my team. Sturt were the unbeatable team in that year, and it was the most incredible grand final. Isn't it hard to believe that these two wonderful clubs, with all the success they've had, have only played in 1941 and 1978 in grand finals? This is crazy. I mean, here we have a third grand final. I think there's every chance of more than 40,000 to the Adelaide Oval on Sunday. It's going to be a beautiful day. Two great teams. Norwood start favourites. They have to. You know, they've had the week off again and they beat Sturt by three goals in that previous match. But the Double Blues have got a bit of momentum up. So, you know, it's going to be a great occasion for the SNSL, for state footy. So I'm really looking forward to it. And, you know, the AFL also has two fascinating prelims. We all wanted the Crows to be in there.
00:47:17
Speaker 1: They're not.
00:47:17
Speaker 20: But two absolutely, you know, wonderful matches on the weekend. So a lot of footy.
00:47:23
Speaker 5: Do you think we might see a scenario, Bruce, where we see both of the qualifying final losers end up playing in a grand final?
00:47:30
Speaker 20: Every chance will, isn't there? Look, I think the Dockers, I think the Dockers, could Sydney do it without their captain and without those other boys? I mean, it seems hard to believe they could keep going, but I think the Dockers will probably win. Look, Hawthorne and Brisbane, you know, most people are going to pick the Lions, and I can see why, but I think that's an absolute toss of the coin.
00:47:51
Speaker 11: But I think there is every chance, isn't there?
00:47:53
Speaker 20: You know, those teams that lost in that second week now of the finals, not the first week because the Wild Cards might be the two teams that play off. But, look, it's been a great season.
00:48:01
Speaker 25: It really has.
00:48:02
Speaker 20: And hopefully we get– we've won a close grand final. We haven't had a lot of them lately.
00:48:07
Speaker 2: There's nothing worse.
00:48:09
Speaker 20: You know, I can speak for Dennis who's not here. There's nothing worse than a blowout in a grand final after halftime.
00:48:14
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's right. It's hard work maintaining the emotional investment at that point. Bruce, when you look at the games like this weekend, so say– Just picturing MCG, Hawthorne, Brisbane, huge event, prelim final. At this point in your career, do you look at that game and think, oh, crikey, I'd love to be calling it? Or do you look at it and think, oh, that would be a lot of work?
00:48:38
Speaker 20: God, I'd love to be calling it, Will.
00:48:40
Speaker 5: I thought you might say that.
00:48:44
Speaker 20: I'd love to be calling it.
00:48:45
Speaker 21: Do you know what?
00:48:47
Speaker 20: I had a fair go. But no, no, I must say the first five minutes of these big matches, these finals matches and grand final, is the word FOMO?
00:48:57
Speaker 15: Yeah.
00:48:59
Speaker 20: Okay, I've learned that one. I have a lot of FOMO.
00:49:04
Speaker 5: Well, we miss you and Dennis, Bruce. It was a privilege to get to listen to you guys over so many years. So thank you and we can't wait for the doco next Wednesday night.
00:49:13
Speaker 20: It's a pleasure.
00:49:14
Speaker 1: All the best, Stacey.
00:49:15
Speaker 25: You too, Will.
00:49:15
Speaker 12: Bye-bye.
00:49:16
Speaker 5: Bruce McInerney. So 7 o'clock, sorry, on Channel 7 next Wednesday night, the documentary is Centimetre Perfect. I think it's going to bring back a lot of wonderful memories for football fans who enjoyed the two of them, worked together for a long, long time. 8.30pm, 7 and 7+.
00:49:33
Speaker 7: We forgot to tell Bruce we've inducted him.
00:49:36
Speaker 5: Into his Hall of Fame.
00:49:36
Speaker 7: Our own Hall of Fame.
00:49:38
Speaker 5: Should we play our Hall of Fame?
00:49:39
Speaker 7: We created one for him.
00:49:40
Speaker 5: Well, he's in every other one. Sports Australia, the TV week, Australian football, SA football, racing, SA sport, SA Hall of Fame. We thought, let's do it the opposite way around. Let's create a Hall of Fame here at 5AA that we can put Bruce into.
00:49:54
Speaker 21: Bruce McEvaney.
00:49:58
Speaker 5: Champion he's one.
00:50:00
Speaker 21: Of australia's most decorated sports commentators having recently been inducted into the south australian football and thoroughbred racing halls of fame the.
00:50:09
Speaker 11: Very special bruce mcavaney bruce mcavaney bruce mcavaney.
00:50:13
Speaker 21: This alongside his previous honors including the afl sport australia and tv week logies halls of fame it's.
00:50:20
Speaker 5: A beautiful thing.
00:50:23
Speaker 21: And now Perhaps his most prestigious award, introducing our newest inductee to the 5AA Hall of Fame, Bruce McEvaney.
00:50:35
Speaker 5: Not just our newest, our first.
00:50:36
Speaker 6: Our first.
00:50:36
Speaker 5: Our very first.
00:50:37
Speaker 10: And only.
00:50:37
Speaker 5: What a way to get started. That's excellent. Congratulations, Bruce. Congratulations, Bruce. Always love chatting with him. We've got a lovely text. Chris, just never tire listening to Bruce McEvaney, no matter what he's talking about. You know, he does well, and I think so many people get this wrong sometimes, especially when you're talking about sports or even in the world of movies or there's a group of things people do for fun and you want to hear people who love that thing talking about it, you never feel like Bruce doesn't genuinely love the thing he's talking about or calling, be it footy or track and field. It's never cynical. It's never begrudging. It's just, I love this thing and you're probably tuning in because you love it too. And it sounds so simple, but I think, for people who overthink things so much.
00:51:21
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:51:21
Speaker 5: Or maybe it's just really hard to translate that kind of genuine affection for something in the way that he does. Maybe that's his special skill as well. They had special skills, the two of those together. 21 after 7. We're going to check traffic. We'll come back in just a moment.
00:51:35
Speaker 21: Knockdown.
00:51:35
Speaker 4: Bill 2. With Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes. They do it all for you.
00:51:43
Speaker 21: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:51:47
Speaker 5: 26 minutes after seven, we're getting some very disturbing texts this morning about increases to petrol prices. So we thought we'd bring Peter Natras into this conversation, the RAA Principal Advisor for Energy. Peter, we've, over the course of this war in the Middle East, been through a couple of ups and downs and tried to read the tea leaves. The tea leaves thus far this last seven days read like this. Hormuz essentially closed. The Overland pipeline that Saudi Arabia have was bombed on Thursday. And the Red Sea now looks like it may be threatened by the Houthis. These are all bad things long term for the supply of fuel into Australia. But one thing always hasn't followed the other. I've been amazed at the degree to which the wholesale price of oil has or hasn't reacted to the happenings there. What do you expect to see over the course of the next couple of days regarding fuel in Adelaide?
00:52:47
Speaker 12: Good morning.
00:52:48
Speaker 26: Yes, it's certainly been some extremely volatile times in recent weeks for motorists with fuel prices. And there's three things that we continue to watch in terms of this conflict in the Middle East. And that's the duration. It certainly keeps going on. Complications. That's the damage to infrastructure in the Middle East, but also now impacts into refining capacity in Russia. and then escalation. And so we see that expansion across into Yemen and the Red Sea is certainly an escalation, which is undoubtedly going to result in higher prices for longer for South Australian and Australian motorists.
00:53:32
Speaker 7: I've just had a look at the RAA up, Peter.
00:53:34
Speaker 8: There's still a few places you can get fuel even under $ 2. 10, but most of them are already going up to around the $ 2. 30 mark. You and Will just outlined everything that's happening internationally. It seems like those impacts happen pretty quickly here when the price is going up. We'll see prices continue to go up for the short term at least, won't we?
00:53:58
Speaker 26: Yeah, we're certainly watching those prices closely internationally. And what's we're really watching is the diesel price. That's the concern we have. Diesel is the fuel that is experiencing the most stress at the moment, and that's particularly because of that Russian refining capacity that is being impacted, and that compounds on top of the loss of supply coming out of the Middle East. So we're expecting certainly higher prices on diesel. Unleaded petrol, we'll have to watch closely. We don't think the rises will be as much as what could impact diesel.
00:54:38
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, diesel, $ 2. 85 in some places.
00:54:41
Speaker 5: So just on diesel then, that being the case, Peter, and I'm just thinking of the variables you just took us through with regard to duration, infrastructure damage and so forth. Is it likely that as a sum of all that, we're going to see diesel prices spike now at higher levels than we saw previously?
00:54:57
Speaker 26: It's too early in that regard. What we saw back in March was a a massive run on the system internationally. Australia now is, you know, the industry's done a remarkable job to prepare, you know, and contract knowing this uncertainty is occurring, sourcing from different suppliers all around the world. So, you know, in terms of a run on prices like we saw back in March, it's unlikely it's more that we'll see this price sustained and maybe just creep higher. But, you know, the government and the industry have done a great job to make sure that we have the supplies we need to, you know, continue, you know, with our day-to-day activities.
00:55:49
Speaker 5: Peter, thank you. Peter Dutras, the Principal Advisor for Energy at RAA. Not with any great news. Hopefully things moderate internationally. Notable news. on a couple of fronts, not just for the petrol you put in your car, but indeed how much interest you're going to pay on your mortgage. So the Reserve Bank meets in 11 days, 28th and 29th of September. We know fuel increases are inflationary by nature, and notable, given our chat yesterday with Koshi about international factors, bond prices and so forth, the US Fed overnight, and now that's their Reserve Bank, the Federal Reserve, has announced... that they've raised rates for the first time since 2023 in the United States. So the headwinds, not great for us in an inflationary sense here in Australia. All right, 5AA news time. We'll be back in just a moment.
00:56:40
Speaker 4: Knockdown Bill 2 with Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes, they do it all for you.
00:56:48
Speaker 3: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee.
00:56:50
Speaker 25: This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:56:55
Speaker 5: I was, um, I'm bugging you.
00:56:59
Speaker 24: This is Democracy Manifest.
00:57:04
Speaker 3: You're eating the dogs.
00:57:06
Speaker 22: I tell you what, any boss who sacks anyone for not turning up the day is a bum.
00:57:11
Speaker 21: Matt.
00:57:14
Speaker 5: Yes, enjoy your outdoor area all year round with an opening, closing roof designed, manufactured and installed locally by Louverhouse. He belongs in a museum. Matt Abraham now, are you officially in a museum? I'm stuffed. That was my Indiana Jones Harrison Ford moment. You are stuffed. Not in the taxidermy section at the Adelaide Museum.
00:57:34
Speaker 13: I do feel like the old line that everyone watches in the Perspex box at the museum for the tail to twitch.
00:57:42
Speaker 5: They should be a version of you in Canberra in the museum. Exactly so.
00:57:48
Speaker 13: A courtesy of Sam Datto, who was the personal courier to take this to Canberra, but my 1989 press pass, or one of them, in the new Parliament House is now on permanent display, along with about 100 others in sort of a pastiche-type thing there.
00:58:06
Speaker 5: It's quite a cool display.
00:58:08
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, it's good. Annabelle Crabb.
00:58:12
Speaker 5: Anyone who's watched political coverage in the last 30 years would say, wow, I recognise every one of these names.
00:58:18
Speaker 13: Except mine, I sent them a selection and they used the one from the Pakistan trip covering Bob Hawks, which really does look like a police mugshot.
00:58:29
Speaker 5: It's just so bad.
00:58:30
Speaker 7: I didn't recognise you.
00:58:31
Speaker 6: No.
00:58:33
Speaker 13: And I took a long time to find myself.
00:58:37
Speaker 5: Bottom left corner if people go to Canberra and they want to see Matt. That's it. That's it.
00:58:41
Speaker 13: It is on display. It's pretty funny. It's celebrating 125 years of the press gallery. Wow. And then I was thinking, how old is Stacey? No offence, Stacey, but– Not 125. Not 125, no. But my press pass is dated 1989. And I thought, I wonder if she was.
00:58:59
Speaker 5: Born back.
00:59:01
Speaker 6: Then.
00:59:01
Speaker 7: I was not.
00:59:02
Speaker 5: You were not. That's right. That's right.
00:59:06
Speaker 13: And then my press pass from the old Parliament House, which is now the Museum of the Democracy, they haven't got it yet, but they're going through the curatorial process by the Acquisitions Committee. It's been going on for several months.
00:59:19
Speaker 7: What, checking its validity?
00:59:21
Speaker 13: I think so, yeah.
00:59:22
Speaker 5: Who is this Abraham character?
00:59:24
Speaker 13: Because they have a mock-up of the press gallery in London. you know, in all its mess. And it's fantastic, actually, by the looks of it.
00:59:32
Speaker 3: Oh, we've got a.
00:59:33
Speaker 7: Text here from Ali. I was there the day it was hung on the wall. Congrats, Matt.
00:59:37
Speaker 6: Oh, really?
00:59:37
Speaker 5: How about that?
00:59:39
Speaker 19: I wasn't.
00:59:39
Speaker 7: I wasn't invited.
00:59:42
Speaker 5: And Ali sent through a picture to prove it. Oh, that's nice. It is the picture of the piece.
00:59:46
Speaker 6: Oh, cool.
00:59:47
Speaker 5: Well done, Ali. It's very funny. A moment in history. So that's that. That's the– anyway.
00:59:53
Speaker 13: Maybe I might make it into the old press gallery because I was– that was 87 I was there and then was the last press gallery to move up to the new Parliament House or to leave the old Parliament House. So it's quite bizarre.
01:00:07
Speaker 5: Well, congratulations on being immortalised.
01:00:11
Speaker 13: Had to be somehow. As Simon Royal used to say, somebody had to be Matthew Abraham but might as well have been you.
01:00:17
Speaker 7: But anyway.
01:00:21
Speaker 5: Never could quite work that out.
01:00:23
Speaker 13: Somebody might as well have taken responsibility for the MotoGP and the Repco supercars.
01:00:31
Speaker 6: Is that it?
01:00:33
Speaker 13: That's what it's called, I think.
01:00:34
Speaker 8: I just stick with Adelaide 500 because I get confused. All the different sponsors and names.
01:00:38
Speaker 13: Apparently it's the Repco supercars, whatever. The track and the chopping down of trees. And we've seen this. What I find bizarre and a sign, I think, on several fronts that, the government's not travelling very well at the moment. I think it's wobbling pretty seriously. We'll come to Wyala in a moment. But this decision to appoint or hand-pass, I suppose, the public duties for chopping down trees in the park lands and creating the track and all that, major project, and the Premier's pet project, to Blair Boyer, the Health Minister, who's so on top of his portfolios, that he could just take it on because everything else was fixed in health. It would be the hardest portfolio in government. You need your best minister on it. It's a third of the budget.
01:01:31
Speaker 5: It's huge.
01:01:32
Speaker 8: Worst ramping stats ever last month.
01:01:35
Speaker 5: It's a super portfolio to date back, isn't it now? Because he's the new minister for SH1T sandwiches. Yeah, that's right. Ramping? Blair's got it. Trees cut down? Don't worry, Blair's got it. It's terrible.
01:01:49
Speaker 13: Pretty extraordinary it is and it looks to me like this is the premier trying to step back from all the bad publicity over this because while he says he's not worried by the protesters and he's dismissed them in many ways actually he's treating them as contempt and he's had a police minister referring referring to them as terrorists you know on on walking frames um he he's Trying to insulate himself from it, I think, because I don't think it's playing well for them at all.
01:02:20
Speaker 8: You can guarantee he'll be at the opening day of it and all the positive press conferences, though.
01:02:25
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly.
01:02:27
Speaker 8: But now Blair Boyer has to take responsibility for the tough decisions.
01:02:30
Speaker 6: Exactly.
01:02:30
Speaker 9: What?
01:02:31
Speaker 13: And are you saying to me that if you're going to take this to its logical extension, and he's saying he's doing this because he doesn't want to present the perception of bias, well, it's a bit late for that. Now, that horse is not just out of the stable. It's sort of over the hill and far away.
01:02:45
Speaker 5: It's just about retired.
01:02:47
Speaker 7: It's in the North Adelaide Parklands.
01:02:48
Speaker 13: Next thing we know, it'll be in the old Parliament House Museum. But that's crap. That is just a great crap. Because what the Premier's doing here, to me, is a PR shift to insulate himself from what has become a bad news story for him and a bad look for him.
01:03:10
Speaker 8: Well, if I said to either of you, I can make decisions and say what I want on radio, but you've got to take responsibility for what I say and do and the decisions I make, no one would be happy with taking responsibility for someone else's decisions. And I don't know why. Why did it have to be the health minister? I've got a list of other MPs that would be more appropriate. The advertisers suggesting today maybe Lucy Hood, the member for Adelaide.
01:03:32
Speaker 5: She's close to it.
01:03:33
Speaker 8: Yep, close to it, more appropriate. I would have thought maybe the transport minister, Joe Sockarch. If it is a legal issue, why not the Attorney General, Kaya Ma? If it is an environmental thing, why not Emily Burke, the Environment Minister? Why the Minister of Health, who has the biggest portfolio and the most difficult portfolio and the most responsibility-heavy, burdened portfolio?
01:03:56
Speaker 7: Why him?
01:03:57
Speaker 13: Well, because he's seen as the most confident, polished performer.
01:04:02
Speaker 5: Safe pair of hands.
01:04:03
Speaker 13: Safe pair of hands at a press conference. He is, you know, he's very smooth, Blair Boyer. He's very competent. But the excuse that this is to remove any perception of bias is ridiculous because, as the Premier told Paul Starik a couple of weeks ago, shortly after I was saying, what's the Premier's agenda here, apart from having big events, He outlined his vision for the state and his plan as such, and that is that these events are part of that. They are the central part of it because what he wants to do, his strategy is to revitalise Adelaide and to make people see Adelaide as a vibrant place in the eastern states. Not that they ever care about Adelaide, but that's his reason for existing as Premier. He's defined it. And so you've got this central, one of the central projects, and he's hiving off responsibility for it, really, to Blair Boy. And what, is he going to excuse himself in cabinet? Is he going to step back?
01:05:11
Speaker 5: Oh, it's just farcical. What's the historical precedent for a leader that successfully insulated himself from perceptions of bias by appointing another senior minister as being responsible? It's just, it's... It's crazy. It's absolutely ludicrous.
01:05:23
Speaker 8: Is Blair Boyer going to come in and say, actually, you know what? We've done the consultation. It's not worth it having the MotoGP. We'll cancel the premiere.
01:05:29
Speaker 7: Sit down. I'm now responsible. We've decided no. None of this is going to happen.
01:05:35
Speaker 5: That'd be great, wouldn't it?
01:05:36
Speaker 10: You'd be pretty good with Blair Boyer, I think.
01:05:41
Speaker 5: Now that we know. Blair Boyer is the official state government canary in the coal mine. We'll know Wayla's in real trouble when he becomes the spokesperson for it, won't we?
01:05:49
Speaker 13: Yeah, when he starts spending a lot of time in the Iron Triangle.
01:05:51
Speaker 5: Because it's been, all jokes aside, a horrific week for Wayla, 600 jobs gone.
01:05:58
Speaker 13: And, you know, with press conferences where you've got the Premier or the Prime Minister and the people, his ministers standing behind him or MPs are all nodding and smiling. This is one of the few times where Tom Kutz and Tonus was behind at that press conference in Wayla. And honestly, and I'm not being facetious here at all, he looked like he was about to start crying. This is Tom Kutzentonis, the Treasurer. He looked a shattered man standing behind the Premier. And it raises– would the result have been any worse if they hadn't declared, you know, driven Goopra into administration? If they'd let it take its course– Good, but where are all the crap? Would you have lost more than 600 jobs? Because what we have now, the whole reason for doing this is to retain our sovereign capacity. You know, we have to be able to make our own steel from digging the iron ore out of the ground, of smelting it and to rolling it out. Well, the first half of that equation is gone. The Wyala is importing.
01:07:00
Speaker 5: We're importing.
01:07:01
Speaker 13: So we've lost that sovereign capacity. We're importing steel and rolling it. So it's no longer can say it's Australian steel. It's a bit like when you buy bacon and it's got this bacon, it's got a little Australian map on it, made from 2% Australian pork or whatever.
01:07:20
Speaker 5: Both the winning bidders had a component of imported, I can't remember what the terminology is for them, but the steel component was.
01:07:27
Speaker 13: They call them billets or something like that.
01:07:29
Speaker 5: Billets, that's right.
01:07:32
Speaker 13: And the Premier's statements now are so heavily qualified about whether they will start smelting their own steels there. He's now talking about, well, it depends on the shape of the final successful bidder and maybe by the end of the decade. But he descends deeply into Malinowska's.
01:07:52
Speaker 5: Speak on this.
01:07:53
Speaker 13: There's lots of caveats built into that.
01:07:56
Speaker 7: It's a really good question. Are we better off now than we would have been if Gupta was still running it?
01:08:02
Speaker 13: I mean, the Fin Review had some numbers crunched, and so far the taxpayer's commitment to this has worked out to about $ 3 million to $ 4 million per worker.
01:08:12
Speaker 5: Wow. Could have bought them all a house on the Esplanade.
01:08:16
Speaker 7: Not the Wayala Esplanade either.
01:08:18
Speaker 6: No, right.
01:08:19
Speaker 13: Down at Semaphore.
01:08:21
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's right.
01:08:23
Speaker 13: I mean, can you imagine if you gave, well, You'd shut an industry down, but if you gave every worker involved a million bucks, say, and the taxpayer would probably then save about two to three million per worker, I don't think there'd be many people knocking it back. Let's put it like that.
01:08:41
Speaker 1: All right.
01:08:42
Speaker 5: It's eight to eight. We're going to check traffic and come back and rate some spin in just a moment.
01:08:47
Speaker 4: 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.
01:08:55
Speaker 21: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
01:09:00
Speaker 5: Five to eight, biggest louver in a moment. Sam Datto, our resident rev head, has just sent through a clarification on the correct name, the correct terminology around our V8 race here in Adelaide.
01:09:09
Speaker 7: Because I said I just call it the Adelaide 500.
01:09:10
Speaker 5: Yeah, I do that too.
01:09:11
Speaker 7: I get confused who the sponsor is.
01:09:13
Speaker 8: He said it's not the 500 because it's now a 600-kilometre weekend.
01:09:16
Speaker 5: The Adelaide 600 rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?
01:09:19
Speaker 13: It's an Adelaide thing, isn't it?
01:09:20
Speaker 3: It is.
01:09:20
Speaker 13: Like that funny bit of Port Road where the Coke factory, you know that bit where the Coke factory is, which is not there anymore.
01:09:26
Speaker 5: Yes. It'll always be the Coke factory. People don't know what you're talking about.
01:09:30
Speaker 6: What Coke factory?
01:09:31
Speaker 13: Just a bit of dirt there now.
01:09:34
Speaker 8: We also have a nomination on the text line for another minister that could have been responsible, the Minister for Sport, Recreation and Racing. So that's five other ministers who could have been responsible, leaving the Health Minister to take care of.
01:09:46
Speaker 13: Matter of fact, that would actually– That would make some sense, wouldn't it?
01:09:52
Speaker 5: They might be busy, I guess. Crazy.
01:09:55
Speaker 2: Matt.
01:09:58
Speaker 5: Okay.
01:09:59
Speaker 13: Now, this is Jackie Lambie, and this is priceless. We don't have television here, but she's having a big crack at Pauline Hanson over veterans. But what I like about this is how you can go from– been quite mild-mannered to outraged in a space of about two seconds.
01:10:20
Speaker 21: Senator Lambie.
01:10:22
Speaker 14: Thank you, Acting Deputy President. Well, what a hypocrite.
01:10:26
Speaker 5: What a hypocrite.
01:10:28
Speaker 14: This is a woman, veterans. This is a woman, this is one nation that made us wait for a Royal Commission. And yesterday, in the last few days, has put a cartoon out there of one of the veterans saying he's a traitor and a gutless maggot.
01:10:43
Speaker 5: A gutless maggot.
01:10:45
Speaker 14: That's what she does with veterans. That's what she does with veterans. She's a hypocrite.
01:10:51
Speaker 13: Thank you very much, Mr President.
01:10:54
Speaker 5: You know who else has that ability?
01:10:57
Speaker 25: Yes.
01:10:58
Speaker 5: Bob Caddo has that. Bob Caddo can go from zero to 1,000 in half a second.
01:11:03
Speaker 7: But I expended every time on it.
01:11:05
Speaker 10: That's right.
01:11:06
Speaker 13: So Jackie Lambie gets a very– well, she's a very solid performer in the louver stakes anyway, gets a very solid seven louvers.
01:11:13
Speaker 11: Oh, yeah.
01:11:15
Speaker 13: Matt.
01:11:17
Speaker 21: Now.
01:11:19
Speaker 13: Just pay attention to this. This is a journalist asking Matty Nix whether he's approached the Adelaide Crows to ask about his own future.
01:11:27
Speaker 9: We're not made about your future in the last couple of weeks. Will you seek reassurance from the leaders of the club as to your position going into next year given this performance?
01:11:36
Speaker 25: No. No.
01:11:36
Speaker 8: No.
01:11:37
Speaker 5: Enough said.
01:11:39
Speaker 6: Okay.
01:11:47
Speaker 5: How do we louver that one?
01:11:48
Speaker 13: Well, look, I'm giving him zero louvers, but making him the greatest louver.
01:11:52
Speaker 5: Oh, I take that.
01:11:53
Speaker 13: A couple of props.
01:11:55
Speaker 1: Yeah.
01:11:56
Speaker 7: No one knows how this rating system works.
01:11:58
Speaker 5: He won the louver in 432 seconds on Saturday night. Yeah, that's right.
01:12:05
Speaker 7: No standing ovation there?
01:12:07
Speaker 5: No, there wasn't one. There was at the Gabba, just for the Lions. Thank you, Matt. Enjoy your outdoor area all year round with an open and closing roof, designed, manufactured and installed locally by Louvre House.
01:12:20
Speaker 4: Knockdown, build two with Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes, they do it.
01:12:27
Speaker 7: All for you.
01:12:28
Speaker 21: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
01:12:36
Speaker 5: Eight after eight, breaking at eight, coming up in just a moment, Ryan Fitzgerald this half hour as well, who will be playing off the AFL Grand Final, get Fitzy's penultimate tips for season 2026. And we've still got to give away clue number four, don't we, to send someone off to the AFL Grand Final.
01:12:51
Speaker 7: Can we have a break today?
01:12:52
Speaker 8: Because I fear the clues we've given out so far have whittled it down to too few options.
01:12:58
Speaker 5: They were until we got the Mike Brady-related clue. I'm not going to say it. No, I'm not going to say it, Paddy. I'm not going to say what it was.
01:13:09
Speaker 7: It's a hard conversation.
01:13:10
Speaker 5: I was with Helen who texted yesterday. I'm very sceptical about it, albeit I've been talked around afterwards, but sceptical nonetheless. We will have another clue for you coming up shortly, despite Stacey's protest, and it'll be another chance to win this morning and get along to the grand final. If you've got an old TV, we want to hear from you as well on 8223 0055 because we might just upgrade it, thanks to the wonderful people at Harvey Norman. Someone's going to get it that calls in. might as well be you, 65-inch LG 4K OLED smart TV worth $ 4, 000. $ 4, 000 goes a long way in TV land these days. It does, yeah. Get set for footy finals with big deals on big screen TVs, best brands, best range and prices at Harvey Norman now.
01:13:55
Speaker 8: We were just talking about motorsport in the parklands and it's been a discussion that's been had Was it a couple of years ago in regards to camping in the parklands for the– it's not Adelaide 500 anymore, is it?
01:14:08
Speaker 3: Adelaide 600.
01:14:09
Speaker 7: Adelaide 600. The BP Adelaide Grand Final. Sam has corrected me. It is now.
01:14:16
Speaker 8: And this was a pretty fierce debate a couple of years ago about whether the motorsport board wanted to explore the option of allowing camping in the parklands. Well, it looks like that may become a debate again soon. in regards to the MotoGP. On the Adelaide MotoGP website, it details places people can stay, and it says one of the benefits of having a street circuit in the city is there's plenty of accommodation options, but what if you want to camp like previous attendees of Phillip Island could?
01:14:49
Speaker 7: And to be fair, on the.
01:14:51
Speaker 8: Website, it lists campsites around the CBD where people can go. It also says there is a Wanderers Base Camp in brackets, event area located near Gate 6 at Rymel Park. This area is typically used during major events such as the BP Adelaide Grand Final and may serve as a temporary camping area for visitors travelling with tents, camper vans, motorhomes or RVs. Its central location near the parklands, it is the parklands, makes it one of the closest camping options to the Adelaide street circuit. So it's not saying there will be campings? It's saying there may be camping for the MotoGP.
01:15:34
Speaker 5: Well, this was canvassed. Was it not for the MotoGP but for another major event? For the Adelaide Grand Final. It was for the Adelaide Grand Final.
01:15:41
Speaker 8: The Motorsport Board thought it was a great idea. I don't know if they did official consultation or they just heard the feedback at the time of people saying, hold on. You want caravans and tents in the parklands? Isn't there an issue with people camping in the parklands that we try and stop all year round, but then you hold a major event and you want to allow it? What would the caravans do to tearing up the turf and the grass, and how would you be able to.
01:16:05
Speaker 7: Turn that around?
01:16:05
Speaker 5: So what area would this be in?
01:16:07
Speaker 7: Rymel Park. So for the fringe, that area.
01:16:11
Speaker 5: Because we park, obviously, for the Royal Show out on that side. Yeah, which is a fair point. It turns it into Swampland out there, but we do it.
01:16:18
Speaker 8: Yeah.
01:16:20
Speaker 5: I know the motorsport people because there's a big model around the world. You go to motorsport events and people turn up in the caravans. There's great atmosphere and things. That feels like a jury topic to me. Oh. Should we do an impromptu jury on it?
01:16:33
Speaker 7: Camping in the parklands.
01:16:35
Speaker 5: I don't mind that. That's a very interesting breaking note. Camping in the parklands for the three days, four days, five days.
01:16:47
Speaker 7: And if they're going to allow it for the MotoGP, What if.
01:16:51
Speaker 8: We just allowed it a few days earlier for the 500?
01:16:54
Speaker 7: Whatever it is now. 600.
01:16:56
Speaker 5: So a two-week camping extravaganza.
01:16:59
Speaker 7: In the parklands. Would you charge people?
01:17:02
Speaker 5: Yes, you have to charge people.
01:17:04
Speaker 7: So then you're charging people to use the parklands?
01:17:08
Speaker 5: I don't hate it, Stacey. I want to see it. I want to see the plan. Okay, we might put this to a jury after. Mike in Christie's Beach first has called in. with a TV-related tale for us. Mike, you've got an old TV at your place.
01:17:23
Speaker 25: Yes, we have.
01:17:25
Speaker 10: Ours dates back to 1982.
01:17:27
Speaker 6: What?
01:17:29
Speaker 5: Surely it doesn't work.
01:17:31
Speaker 1: It works.
01:17:31
Speaker 10: My wife and I were married in 83, and during 82 we were gathering household stuff together. My wife bought a TV and I bought a stereo and a fridge, blah, blah. Since then we've replaced it. but it's in our bedroom as a spare TV. You don't get great reception with the black box, but it still works fine, and we watch DVDs in bed and all that.
01:17:53
Speaker 5: What brand is it, Mike?
01:17:54
Speaker 10: It's the original AWA that was built in Australia.
01:17:58
Speaker 5: Oh.
01:17:58
Speaker 8: It says something for local manufacturing, doesn't it?
01:18:02
Speaker 5: I was going to say.
01:18:03
Speaker 10: It was bought from Savories.
01:18:05
Speaker 5: Unbelievable. You have an Australian-made television.
01:18:10
Speaker 10: Australian-made TV, and we used to take it in the caravan. and it's fallen off the bed in the caravan a few times while we've been travelling.
01:18:17
Speaker 6: It's still going strong.
01:18:19
Speaker 10: But it still works.
01:18:20
Speaker 5: Has it ever had to be repaired?
01:18:23
Speaker 10: Never had it in a repair shop at all. As I say, reception's not great with the black box, but it does work.
01:18:30
Speaker 8: Mike, I almost don't want you to get the new TV because I want you to continue enjoying it.
01:18:36
Speaker 10: Oh, well, this is only our spare. It's only a portable one that we first bought when we were married.
01:18:41
Speaker 6: Yeah.
01:18:42
Speaker 10: In our bedroom is a second TV now, but it still works. It works fine.
01:18:46
Speaker 5: Your TV should be in a museum like Matt Abraham's press pass, Mike. That's fantastic.
01:18:51
Speaker 10: We're coming up to our 43rd wedding anniversary, 44th, so it must be 45 years old.
01:18:58
Speaker 5: 45-year-old television made in Australia that still works. Mike, you're in the running to win the Harvey Norman upgrade, the 65-inch 4K OLED TV. We've had a few generations of technology come through since the early 80s when you bought your television. I can't believe it still works. Get set for footy finals, big deals on big screen TVs, best brands, best range in prices at Harvey Norman. Now, I asked Mike about what is effectively a bygone era where there used to be places where they'd fix electronic goods, and that's just not the model anymore. You just replace the electronic goods.
01:19:29
Speaker 7: Such a shame.
01:19:29
Speaker 5: They're designed to be cheaper, and they're made cheaper. But there's still the old shop. There's one on Grange Road. You see the odd one around the place that fix vacuum cleaners and fix, well, I was going to say VCRs. No one's VCRs probably anymore. I'm guaranteed Mike's probably got one that's still operating.
01:19:47
Speaker 7: You could also take them to, what are they called?
01:19:50
Speaker 8: Local councils hold them, like fix-it days, where there's a bunch of retired electricians and carpenters who will be there and they'll fix your thing for you.
01:20:00
Speaker 5: I can't remember what it's called. Yeah, I know the thing you're talking about.
01:20:02
Speaker 3: There's a name for it.
01:20:03
Speaker 5: Someone will tell me. I'm blown away by that story. That was tremendous.
01:20:06
Speaker 7: That's awesome.
01:20:06
Speaker 5: All right, 16 after 8. We have some AFL Grand Final tickets to give away. You might have heard about this. Hopefully you have because that means you might have heard one of our three clues that have gone through thus far. Today is day number four.
01:20:20
Speaker 21: I got it.
01:20:42
Speaker 5: We're looking for a AFL grand final performer. We've had three clues thus far to help you narrow it down based on years and performances and so forth. Today's clue appeared in a movie. appeared in a movie.
01:21:02
Speaker 9: 8223 0055.
01:21:02
Speaker 5: Get calling now for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. AFL Grand Final. Tickets, flights, accommodation, it's all taken care of. Huge. It would be amazing to think, what is it, Thursday, 17th of September, you're not having any plans next weekend, probably. I don't know, maybe you're going to get together with mates and have a barbecue and watch the Grand Final.
01:21:24
Speaker 7: It doesn't matter if you do.
01:21:25
Speaker 3: You'll cancel them.
01:21:26
Speaker 5: And suddenly, your plan is, no, I'm I'm having an all-inclusive trip to the AFL Grand Final. Wow, what a thrill that'd be. If it doesn't go off today, we'll have clue number five tomorrow for you. You're of a view that we're getting very close to this, aren't you?
01:21:42
Speaker 12: I am.
01:21:43
Speaker 6: Yeah.
01:21:43
Speaker 8: I like today's clue, though, because I think it.
01:21:46
Speaker 5: Oh, you're starting to get a sense.
01:21:48
Speaker 9: Yeah.
01:21:48
Speaker 5: You're getting an idea.
01:21:49
Speaker 21: Yeah.
01:21:50
Speaker 5: Yeah, you've got that look in your eye.
01:21:51
Speaker 6: 8223 0055.
01:21:51
Speaker 5: We'll take a quick break and we're going to hear.
01:21:58
Speaker 5: The fourth guess right after this.
01:22:01
Speaker 4: Knockdown, Bill 2, with Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes, they do it all for you.
01:22:10
Speaker 3: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee.
01:22:11
Speaker 21: This is 5AA Breakfast.
01:22:18
Speaker 5: 22 minutes after 8, we've iced Kylie, who's been on the line during the break, having been the first person through for our AFL Grand Final ticket competition. This morning's clue... has appeared in a movie.
01:22:30
Speaker 8: Can I just say there's a couple of people who have sent through guesses on the text line.
01:22:34
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is always a fun part.
01:22:35
Speaker 7: I would just like to.
01:22:36
Speaker 8: Put on the record, I don't actually know the correct answer. And I think you do that purposely because usually Dave sitting here, you wouldn't tell him.
01:22:44
Speaker 5: It's a bit harder with you. He just disappears and we don't see him.
01:22:49
Speaker 8: So you've followed through with the decision to not tell the person who sits in this chair the answer, but The people who have sent through their guesses on the text line is one that came to mind for me as well, and I would recommend calling tomorrow.
01:23:03
Speaker 5: Oh, okay. I love it when people start texting in. You've got to call in. Presumably, they're people that have called in and they've grown frustrated and I just want to be right now even if I can't get the tickets. Well, Kylie's got a chance because Kylie did get through. Good morning to you, Kylie.
01:23:18
Speaker 23: Good morning, Will.
01:23:19
Speaker 5: Have you been to a grand final before, Kylie?
01:23:20
Speaker 25: No.
01:23:21
Speaker 23: I certainly have. Luckily, I was there in 2004 when Port Adelaide won.
01:23:27
Speaker 5: Oh, and it sounds like you're a Port fan, not a Brisbane fan.
01:23:30
Speaker 23: I sure am a Port fan.
01:23:33
Speaker 5: Oh, that would have been, what a memory, with Mark Williams and the tie, and it was, yeah, what a... What a spectacle. You'll always be able to say you were there at the first AFL Premiership Port Adelaide one, Kylie. What a thrill.
01:23:44
Speaker 23: I certainly will. We won't talk about what happened in 2007.
01:23:47
Speaker 5: Oh, were you there for that one? I wasn't going to ask, but since.
01:23:50
Speaker 23: You brought it up.
01:23:51
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was.
01:23:51
Speaker 11: Oh, dear.
01:23:52
Speaker 5: Oh, well, you win one, you lose one.
01:23:54
Speaker 8: It'd be nice to be at a grand final where you don't have, where you're not invested too much.
01:23:58
Speaker 6: Yeah.
01:23:58
Speaker 5: Who would you want to win if you got along to this grand final, Kylie? Hawthorne, Brisbane, Freo or Sydney?
01:24:03
Speaker 28: Sydney.
01:24:04
Speaker 23: Well, if I had a choice at the moment, it would have to be Brisbane because I have family from Queensland.
01:24:09
Speaker 26: Okay.
01:24:09
Speaker 23: We've got very big Brisbane supporters.
01:24:11
Speaker 5: Who's going with you if you win the tickets?
01:24:13
Speaker 23: I don't know. It depends on who gets through to the grand final, mate.
01:24:16
Speaker 5: Oh, okay. It might be your Brisbane family. Okay, that's fair enough. All right, well, let's get down to business then. We've had four clues now. Have you heard them all, Kylie? I have heard them all. Walk us through your thinking.
01:24:28
Speaker 23: So, now I have to.
01:24:33
Speaker 23: We have an international performer, who it is, after.
01:24:39
Speaker 24: 2005, which they are.
01:24:42
Speaker 23: Mike Brady performed. And the person has been in a movie, who I'm picking. So I am guessing Robbie Williams.
01:24:52
Speaker 5: Robbie Williams. Big fan of South Australia as well. He's come here. He played at the, what are we calling it now? The BPA Grand Final. The Grand Final.
01:25:00
Speaker 6: Yeah.
01:25:01
Speaker 5: He did that? The movie? Was he in the movie? He did a movie with monkeys?
01:25:07
Speaker 23: Yeah, he was in the biographical movie about himself and got dressed up as a monkey.
01:25:12
Speaker 5: He was a monkey.
01:25:13
Speaker 7: I still don't understand that. I watched the whole thing and I watched it very confused.
01:25:18
Speaker 5: Yeah, I watched it too. It was very strange.
01:25:20
Speaker 6: Sorry, Kylie.
01:25:21
Speaker 5: It is not Robbie Williams.
01:25:26
Speaker 7: She thought it through as well.
01:25:27
Speaker 5: It made sense in all the clues. Technically, did he appear in that movie?
01:25:32
Speaker 6: I don't know.
01:25:33
Speaker 21: Was, like, Brady there that year?
01:25:34
Speaker 5: Oh, that's a good question.
01:25:35
Speaker 20: A little bit.
01:25:37
Speaker 5: That was the only clue that Kylie didn't read out. Good guess, though. Like that. Thought Robbie did. Robbie was great at the grand final. Had that wonderful moment where he sung his new stuff and he said, don't worry, we can all get through this together. And then he went and sang a medley of his hits. That's good for the crowd. Everyone knows. Self-aware musicians are.
01:25:59
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
01:26:01
Speaker 5: They're few and far between, but I think everyone appreciates it when you fire them. Good guess, Kylie. Sorry. Sorry about that. All right. Let's talk grand final, shall we? Let's get the guru on. Fitzgerald throws his left foot out and it bounces.
01:26:15
Speaker 6: It bounces.
01:26:16
Speaker 5: A goal.
01:26:16
Speaker 6: A goal.
01:26:17
Speaker 5: Fitzy's on 5AA Breakfast. Walco at the centre of SA's biggest cover-up with their incredibly good-looking Walco mesh pool cover. Fitzy, good morning to you.
01:26:27
Speaker 28: I can confirm that I wasn't at the 2004 grand final, Kylie.
01:26:32
Speaker 6: I wasn't going nowhere near that grand final.
01:26:40
Speaker 5: Fitzy, I don't know if I can go. Do we want to look back or do we just want to look forward this morning? Do you want to talk bros or not? I'll leave it in your capable hands.
01:26:52
Speaker 28: I got a bit emotional this week when I saw Tex taking out– his locker did you see that yeah it brought back memories of when i uh ripped out the number 15 locker in 2002 that was not for memories that was because i was pissed off because i was delisted but.
01:27:12
Speaker 5: Um no keepsakes bitsy nothing you know what i've got a bit emotional about this like.
01:27:19
Speaker 6: You know like it's just You know, it's just, you.
01:27:23
Speaker 28: Know, and the rhetoric that we've had this week and the Crows are nowhere near winning a premiership.
01:27:31
Speaker 6: You know, like, it's just been... What a way to finish.
01:27:33
Speaker 28: Off the year, you know? Like, it's just been really, really tough. But, you know, what we look forward... Prelims are always the best games. They're going to be unbelievable. And I think I'm looking forward to Saturday night. I mean, that Brisbane Hawthorne game is going to be a belter.
01:27:48
Speaker 5: Do you think... And maybe we can.
01:27:50
Speaker 5: Look back by looking forward. Do you think at the end of all this, and I don't want to totally preempt your grand final tip, but we might look back and go, well, Brisbane was just a buzzsaw and they were going to go through everyone?
01:28:02
Speaker 6: Well, they were– we knew.
01:28:03
Speaker 28: And I said to you last week that you– do you remember last week when I said to you that Brisbane– Hoyne from Champion Data said.
01:28:12
Speaker 6: You know if Brisbane are on or not in the first five minutes of the game?
01:28:15
Speaker 5: Yeah, we certainly knew they were on. It was over.
01:28:19
Speaker 28: I didn't know it was three minutes after they'd kicked five goals.
01:28:24
Speaker 1: But, yeah, they are.
01:28:25
Speaker 28: Like, they don't play too bad games in a row, Brisbane. So– They've got the cattle there. That's why I'm picking them to beat the Hawks on Saturday night. But yeah, it's, you know, like it was, we, we, we've still got the cattle there. I mean, everyone's talking about missing out on Zach Bailey as well. But, you know, like if I am those players, you know, those second-tier players of the Adelaide Crows, you know, it's exciting for me to have a good pre-season and just to show everyone that we're ready to take it to the next level. So I still think we do have the list on paper and we have the cattle there.
01:29:00
Speaker 6: And we are one of the hardest training sides in the competition. That is well known.
01:29:04
Speaker 28: So, no, I'm looking forward to 2027.
01:29:08
Speaker 5: So, obviously, Hawthorne Brisbane is going to be unbelievable at the MCG. What about your old mob, the Swans? It would be one of the most remarkable underdog stories in recent memory, would it not, if they managed to win through to a grand final with four of their best six players missing?
01:29:26
Speaker 6: I just can't see it happening again, Will.
01:29:29
Speaker 28: I understand through adversity that one game.
01:29:35
Speaker 28: And what they did. But Fremantle wouldn't be that silly to let it happen again, would they?
01:29:40
Speaker 5: Surely not.
01:29:41
Speaker 28: I mean, it just goes to show that you don't need talent in a team to win a game like that. But to do it consistently is very, very hard.
01:29:51
Speaker 6: So.
01:29:52
Speaker 28: Look, that's why, well, there's my two tips already. That's why I see Fremantle winning this game quite easily because it has to, it was like Carlton with Frazier. Like, you know, they won that first wildcard game and then we all thought to ourselves, it can't continue, can it? But so I think you'll see, that it's been a very, very– it's been a tough year for the Sydney– or end of the year for the Sydney Swans, and I think you will see that in the game on Friday night.
01:30:19
Speaker 5: And how about everyone's second team, the Cockle Divers? What's the final situation?
01:30:24
Speaker 6: So, well done to the Ronella Wineflies. I've got to thank Milo, their coach.
01:30:29
Speaker 28: They played unbelievable, and they knocked us out by four points. We also were out, but this weekend– Under-13s, under-15s, under-17s, every junior side. Now, under-14 girls won the grand final last week, two states, which was unbelievable. We beat Rinella, who hadn't lost a game in three years that side, so that was.
01:30:49
Speaker 6: A big win for the club.
01:30:51
Speaker 7: Well done.
01:30:52
Speaker 6: Go the girls.
01:30:53
Speaker 5: Good stuff. Jeez, that was a pretty ordinary weekend you had last week. It wasn't a fitzy now in reflection.
01:30:58
Speaker 13: Oh, my God.
01:31:01
Speaker 6: I'm absolutely stuffed and I've done no physical exercise.
01:31:05
Speaker 28: I am mentally done and then I get a phone call from.
01:31:09
Speaker 6: You guys every Thursday morning.
01:31:11
Speaker 1: That's it.
01:31:11
Speaker 6: I'm finished.
01:31:13
Speaker 7: Well, thanks for always answering our call.
01:31:15
Speaker 5: Good on you, Fitzy. Jump in an ice bath.
01:31:17
Speaker 6: No, the contract says I have to stay.
01:31:19
Speaker 7: So peace.
01:31:24
Speaker 6: Out.
01:31:24
Speaker 5: Have a good weekend, Fitz. Can't be better, worse than the last one.
01:31:27
Speaker 6: Yeah, good on you guys.
01:31:29
Speaker 1: Have a good one.
01:31:29
Speaker 8: See you.
01:31:30
Speaker 5: Ryan Fitzgerald, present Port Nalunga Cockle Divers, and of course... Most important role. Absolutely. I think he's the Crows' number one fan these days as well. Walco up the centre of SA's biggest cover-up with their incredibly good-looking Walco mesh book.
01:31:47
Speaker 4: 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.
01:31:56
Speaker 21: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
01:32:00
Speaker 5: 18 minutes to 9. We're going to jury in a moment and we get a couple of wonderful support packages to give away, Stace. We do, yeah. We've got the Innerwear $ 200 voucher and we've got SANFL Grand Final tickets. All you need to do is tell us about your thoughts on breaking at eight, jury style. Would you support camping in the parklands for the MotoGP, or is that something you would say absolutely not an appropriate use of the parklands? 8223 0000, get calling right now. Jury style, folks. Two great prizes to give away as well. We'll give it away randomly. Should we allow caravans, parking, that kind of event activity type support thing to happen in advance of the MotoGP, maybe the V8s as well, or should that be absolutely off limits? Get calling right now, 8223 0000. There's some breaking news out of camera. This is a significant story. Matt Keogh, who is the Veterans Affairs Minister, has just put out a statement with regard to the $ 5, 000 Allied Health Cap for Veterans Care. This was the highly controversial measure the federal government brought in, whereby it Any health expenditure for veterans over $ 5, 000 would need some sort of– you'd need to get it checked off now. It'd have to be some sort of– it'd meet some benchmark for clinical need where previously you got hurt as a veteran and you just got supported. Well, Matt Keogh has just put out a statement. We have been listening carefully, and today the government is taking the proposed $ 5, 000 threshold off the tables. We will not change our commitment to improving access to allied healthcare through the fee increase to allied health providers. We will engage with the veteran and provider community on how we can continue to deliver on the objective of achieving better veteran wellbeing outcomes. So that is now off the table. It was a big and highly clearly now in retrospect, a very successful campaign. Dozens of groups and veterans associations, Jackie Lambie spoke very emotionally in federal parliament about it as well. That is now off the table. So the government listened. You stays. Let's not make our veterans fight to get access to health care, shall we? If we're going to give any group of people the benefit of the doubt, let it be veterans. And thank God the federal government belatedly got that message. The proposed cap on allied health services for veterans has just been scrapped in Canberra. Should we get to this jury?
01:34:22
Speaker 7: Yeah, let's do it.
01:34:24
Speaker 18: All right.
01:34:24
Speaker 5: Should we make it official?
01:34:26
Speaker 9: In the criminal justice system, all defendants are innocent until proven guilty, either by confession, plea bargain, or trial by jury. This is one of those trials.
01:34:38
Speaker 5: So 8223 0000, if the lines are full, which they are at the moment, you can also get through an 8223 0055. Plenty of spaces on the jury. So just restate for our listeners, Stace, those that missed breaking at eight, what you've come across that makes it look like the potential for camping on the parklands for MotoGP is still a live question.
01:34:57
Speaker 7: Let me find it. I was scrolling very early this morning on adelaidemotogp.com, Wanderers Base Camp.
01:35:05
Speaker 8: And they've said they give people recommendations on where to stay for the event.
01:35:09
Speaker 7: They recommend a whole bunch of hotels. They recommend a whole bunch of campsites.
01:35:12
Speaker 8: And then they also said on this website, located near Gate 6 at Rymel Park, this area is typically used during major events such as the BP Adelaide Grand Final and may serve as a temporary camping area for visitors travelling with tents, camper vans, motorhomes and RVs.
01:35:30
Speaker 5: Can I just wet your beak with a couple of texts before we get to the actual official jury? Just to give you some sense, I think this is going to be a fun one. Andrew says, absolutely support camping in the parklands, but only during a race meet period. Sandy says, what a ridiculous idea. Huge support of the race, but turning the parklands into a bogan wonderland is crazy. 8223 0000 or 0055. What do you think? Should we allow camping in the parklands for motorsport or should it be something that's totally off limits? Jury number one, what say you?
01:36:01
Speaker 6: G'day.
01:36:02
Speaker 5: What do you think, jury number one?
01:36:04
Speaker 29: Yeah, it's had a 90-year precedent with the Oak Bank Racecourse.
01:36:10
Speaker 12: What?
01:36:11
Speaker 5: Parking in the Adelaide Parklands. They're camping.
01:36:16
Speaker 7: Oh, in Oak Bank?
01:36:16
Speaker 29: Camping right next to the track at Oak Bank. So what's wrong with Oak Bank or the Parklands?
01:36:22
Speaker 25: Yeah.
01:36:23
Speaker 2: Same thing?
01:36:23
Speaker 5: If it's good for Oak Bank, good for the Parklands.
01:36:25
Speaker 1: All right.
01:36:25
Speaker 5: Thank you, jury number one. You're in the running to win... SA NFL Grand Final tickets. The 2026 Host Plus Sample League Grand Final. Nord taking on Sturt this Sunday. Adelaide over from 2.30pm. You can get tickets at sample.com.au. Jura number two. Good morning. What do you think?
01:36:41
Speaker 2: Good morning. Absolutely not. I think probably the showgrounds would be an ideal site for it. I know it's Phillip Island. They don't have camping over there, but everybody overflows into the coastal towns for camping.
01:36:57
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay.
01:36:58
Speaker 5: Thank you, jury number two. All jurors also in the running to win a $ 200 innerwear voucher. They have their new store at the Martin Shopping Centre.
01:37:07
Speaker 8: They stock a huge range of bras in all different sizes.
01:37:11
Speaker 3: Swimwear as well.
01:37:12
Speaker 5: $ 200 will go a long way there.
01:37:13
Speaker 7: Pick your support today.
01:37:15
Speaker 5: Pick your support.
01:37:15
Speaker 7: Bras or sand full supporters.
01:37:17
Speaker 5: Jury number three, what do you think of this idea?
01:37:20
Speaker 24: It has to be... It has to be... You're camping in the parklands. You can't have one without the other. You want MotoGP. You're going to have 20,000 motorbikes. You're going to have people everywhere. You have to have it. They have it in Phillip Island. I've been to Phillip Island, and you've got to have it. It's got to be 100% big kick.
01:37:39
Speaker 5: Thank you, jury number three. Jury number four, good morning.
01:37:43
Speaker 17: Good morning.
01:37:45
Speaker 5: What's your verdict?
01:37:45
Speaker 12: I think that it's a great idea. I'm for it.
01:37:48
Speaker 5: Okay, thank you, jury number four. You're for it. Jury number five, good morning.
01:37:52
Speaker 1: Good morning.
01:37:53
Speaker 11: I live in the city of Adelaide, and I pay my rates, and they already allow camping in the parklands.
01:37:59
Speaker 10: I could take you to eight spots right.
01:38:00
Speaker 11: Now where there's camping in the parklands, so why not?
01:38:03
Speaker 5: Thank you, Dura.
01:38:04
Speaker 10: Yes.
01:38:04
Speaker 5: Dura, number five.
01:38:05
Speaker 6: Okay.
01:38:06
Speaker 5: Start ground swivel of support. Dura, number six. Good morning. Good morning.
01:38:09
Speaker 6: Good morning, guys.
01:38:10
Speaker 19: Yeah, a lot of people ride and camp at Phillip Island.
01:38:13
Speaker 6: It's all part of the experience.
01:38:15
Speaker 28: So riding and camping in the parklands, we allow car parking for the Royal Show and there's plenty of space to do it.
01:38:22
Speaker 6: Let's get it happening.
01:38:23
Speaker 5: Thank you, during number six what do you think during number seven you're there number seven.
01:38:30
Speaker 24: Lock it in but make it a dry zone and let people have a festival.
01:38:33
Speaker 5: About it okay that's an interesting caveat so you allow people to park there but no alcohol do you allow barbecues i think you have to allow barbecues don't.
01:38:43
Speaker 8: You If you've got camping, how much will they eat? Someone else mentioned earlier on the text line, there's food trucks in the parklands.
01:38:50
Speaker 5: There are food trucks in the parklands.
01:38:52
Speaker 7: And you mentioned how you can park there for the show.
01:38:54
Speaker 5: Thousands of people park there for the show. Jury number eight, what do you think?
01:38:58
Speaker 11: I reckon go for it.
01:38:59
Speaker 12: I reckon if they want to do it, barbecue, you know, the kids are running around the playground.
01:39:05
Speaker 10: Why not?
01:39:07
Speaker 5: Thank you, jury number eight. Hey, Stace, I don't usually ask you this. How do you think this talk subject would go on the ABC?
01:39:15
Speaker 7: Probably different to ours.
01:39:16
Speaker 5: Do you think our jury would have a different result?
01:39:18
Speaker 7: We had seven to one yes.
01:39:21
Speaker 5: Just because you're unique experience broadcasting across both networks. I think it would be very different.
01:39:25
Speaker 7: To the way it went on our station.
01:39:27
Speaker 8: And I not apologise, but unfortunately for those seven people who said yes to camping in the parklands, no.
01:39:37
Speaker 7: The government's been in touch. Camping in the parklands is not planned for MotoGP.
01:39:41
Speaker 5: Are they in the business of doing things that aren't crushingly popular?
01:39:46
Speaker 8: They've been in touch and said the website, the Adelaide Moto GP website is not the official website.
01:39:52
Speaker 5: Oh, is it?
01:39:53
Speaker 7: So there you go. So camping is not planned for the Parklands.
01:39:57
Speaker 5: Sorry to our jury. It's a free good idea, state government. We've just done a bit of polling for you. There was no push polling. I mean, if you're knocking the trees over anyway, you might as well let people camp there.
01:40:11
Speaker 7: Just keep it going.
01:40:13
Speaker 3: Yeah.
01:40:13
Speaker 5: I think they've missed a trick there, frankly. Now, our listeners haven't because we've got the various support packages to give away. The innerwear voucher and the sample grand final tickets. We will make that determination in just a moment. First, though.
01:40:31
Speaker 7: I wasn't keeping track.
01:40:31
Speaker 8: I was taking note of the vote count.
01:40:34
Speaker 5: The score. It's still coming through on the text line. We might get to some of those actually as well. Let's check traffic.
01:40:39
Speaker 21: Knockdown.
01:40:40
Speaker 4: Bill 2. With Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes. They do it all for you.
01:40:47
Speaker 21: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
01:40:53
Speaker 5: Six to nine. Some more breaking news this half hour. Long rumoured, now official, GWS star Toby Green has announced that not only is he leaving the club, but he's informed the club that he'll be heading to Victoria and signing with Geelong. So Toby Green is in the conversation for the greatest giant. Who else? Josh Kelly. Who else in the conversation for the... Callan Ward, greatest giants. I think he's probably... I just have thinking now off the top of my head, he's probably the Giants' greatest player. steven canelio uh in any case yeah i think i think um unless we're forgetting someone probably their greatest player since they've been founded as a um as a franchise is off to geelong which uh thank god they didn't get zach butters is all i'm going to say about that uh he uh he's announced he wants to leave there for family reasons probably got a young child it's closer to his family and that's where he wants to live. I guess it doesn't hurt, too, that he gets to play at a side that will be competing for a premiership, and it doesn't feel like GWS are going to be doing that any time soon. Let's head out on the road. Peter Caldicott for 7 News is at a break-in at Paraka. PC, good morning. What's happened?
01:42:02
Speaker 1: Good morning, yes. Excitement in the northern suburbs. Some bakers who were busy in a Paraka bakery at about 4 o'clock this morning managed to scare off some would-be thieves. They heard some loud banging noises and came out from the back of the bakery and saw this guy trying to kick in the door of the bakery, smash the glass window, but he took fright, jumped in his suit and bolted. So good work by the bakers, but he'd already broken into a neighbouring shop in the shopping centre yesterday. a Mediterranean food market where he'd gone in and ransacked the place and stole the till. So, yes, police have been here this morning, crime scene investigators trying to collect evidence and CCTV to try and track down the ute and obviously the people who were trying to smash and grab their way into these shops.
01:42:59
Speaker 24: Mm-hmm.
01:43:01
Speaker 5: Thank you for that, PC. Peter Caldicott at Paraka Bakery. And we'll see those pictures on 7 News tonight from 6 o'clock. Fuel situation. It's very much a situation at the moment. Don't get stuck on the side of the road. Get RAA road service. So unleaded's fairly stable. The cheap spots, Solo, Marion Road, Marion, $ 2. 95 is good. Anything under $ 2. 10 right now is good. It won't feel like it, but trust us, relatively speaking, it's not bad. The United Blair Athol Prospect Road, $ 2. 95. Diesel, as you heard Peter Natrasso say earlier, is where the squeeze is coming on. It's where there's been the greatest disruption given the latest developments in the last seven days in the war in the Middle East. BP at Chep's Cross, Main North Road, $ 2.
01:43:42
Speaker 9: 56.
01:43:42
Speaker 5: 9 is the cheapest we've been able to see it. The cheapest. The cheapest.
01:43:47
Speaker 8: $ 2.
01:43:47
Speaker 1: 56. 9.
01:43:48
Speaker 15: Oh.
01:43:52
Speaker 5: That's gross. Uh, congratulations to jury number six, who's won the sample grand final tickets and jury number four, who has the $ 200 in a way of voucher, a couple of texts to take us out. Still plenty coming in.
01:44:03
Speaker 7: We've got some great texts.
01:44:05
Speaker 8: Uh, Andrew from Ridgehaven says about camping in the park lands. It'll be much safer now that they've cut most of the trees down.
01:44:12
Speaker 7: Sean makes the joke. There's probably plenty of firewood for the campers to use now. Um, Craig says, what an awesome idea.
01:44:18
Speaker 6: Camping.
01:44:18
Speaker 8: Get some use out of the parklands. Someone else makes the point that aren't the parklands meant to be for everyone?
01:44:25
Speaker 1: Yeah.
01:44:25
Speaker 8: Let people camp there if they want to camp there. So, yes, lots of people have views on it. As I said earlier, unfortunately, the government says no.
01:44:32
Speaker 5: They shut it down.
01:44:33
Speaker 7: It's not happening.
01:44:33
Speaker 5: I think they shut it down prematurely. 7-1 on the jury. We're having fun with that. That's just a crushing win. That never happens on the jury. It's always evenly split. Stick around. Graeme Goodings is coming up next. We'll catch you tomorrow morning for Meat Track Friday. It's time.
01:44:49
Speaker 21: God, I'd love to be calling it, Will.
