00:00:00
Speaker 1: I want the least weight, Mum.
00:00:01
Speaker 2: I want it.
00:00:04

We will get to the meat tray very shortly. Coming up on the program this morning, there was a shop fire in Nord. This is a serious story. We're going to chat with Bianca Wiley after 6.30 from Nine News. Also, The data centre community meeting that was meant to go ahead last night stopped because of a bomb threat. Magda Lippert, who we spoke to in the first instance when the Tung Kilo data centre first came to our attention, will join us again this morning. It looked like still people went and had a sort of meeting outside. So we'll get a sense of how that played out. But bizarre. Bizarre for a lot of reasons. We'll talk about it before seven o'clock. Then after seven this morning, we're going to chat with Liz McCaskill. She will have a Meat Tray Friday entry, I suspect. But we might also press her for some contact with the spirits to see if we can't draw some horse racing tips out of her because that's what that's what having a medium on the books is all about uh also michael packy in the nation's capital we're going to flash back in time with michael smith feedback friday top five of the week always a fun morning stacy lee good morning to you good morning will uh no one's going to be better positioned for the meat trade this morning than our good friend liz because it's halloween eve halloween eve halloween eve uh we thought it'd be a good opportunity to Swap some spooky stories. 8223 0000. Text us on 048 08 13 95. Spookiest thing that's happened to you. Something unexplained that you've seen.
00:02:02
Speaker 7: Just.
00:02:02
Speaker 6: Some weird ghost-like phenomenon. Call in, and I might win you a meat tray this morning. We will get Liz's entry after 7 o'clock. Halloween, big in your house, big in your area?
00:02:12
Speaker 8: No, it's big in our area, not in our house yet. I'm sure as Molly gets older, we'll get into it.
00:02:17
Speaker 9: But not really. We're the house on the street that doesn't have the decorations.
00:02:21
Speaker 6: It was never a thing in our household. No one ever did. I mean, it would be the same for you. It didn't exist. It feels like it existed. It only came into being a thing four or five years ago. It's always been on a weekday. I've never done it. My daughter now is four. And by the time she turned two and a half, she started talking about Halloween because it was always in the Miss Rachel that she'd watch or the American stuff. It sort of had seeped into the consciousness. So it's become huge in our area. So I'm actually going to be out walking around. tomorrow night for the first time to see it firsthand.
00:02:50
Speaker 9: Well, that in itself is pretty spooky.
00:02:51
Speaker 6: That's been terrifying for most of the other children.
00:02:53
Speaker 10: Yeah.
00:02:54
Speaker 9: Will Gooding's at night on the streets.
00:02:56
Speaker 6: What's he doing wandering around? We don't usually invite him. So looking forward to that. Looking forward to some spooky stories. Are you dressing up? No, I don't think so.
00:03:04
Speaker 9: Oh, come on.
00:03:05
Speaker 6: Maybe I'll just leave my– oh, no, it's a week. I was going to say I could leave the Channel 7 makeup on because that is terrifying. But it's a Saturday night, so that would be weird.
00:03:13
Speaker 8: You could do a bit of– White face paint, make yourself a zombie or?
00:03:17
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm often a zombie on a Saturday night, so that actually fits. I'll be there like a method actor. Spooky stories. Yeah.
00:03:26
Speaker 9: I think I believe in ghosts.
00:03:30
Speaker 6: Yeah.
00:03:30
Speaker 8: But I haven't experienced one. We have saged the houses that we've lived in.
00:03:39
Speaker 6: Right. We saged our studio with Liz famously because Crows players kept asking to be traded.
00:03:45
Speaker 9: And did it work?
00:03:46
Speaker 6: We stopped getting them in. I think most Crow supporters said to the program, it would be just better if you stopped having Crows players on. And we took that advice on board.
00:03:56
Speaker 9: The sage worked so well it kept the players.
00:03:58
Speaker 6: Out of the studio. Yeah, the sage sort of brought us to our senses.
00:03:59
Speaker 9: Yeah, fair, fair.
00:04:01
Speaker 8: No, we did it because the first house that Ben and I bought, we bought from a couple that were divorcing.
00:04:11
Speaker 6: Oh, you thought it might have.
00:04:12
Speaker 8: Been sort of relationship juju. Yeah, so we thought, oh, great bargain.
00:04:18
Speaker 11: Right.
00:04:18
Speaker 8: Yeah, but needed to do something to get the spirits out.
00:04:23
Speaker 6: The divorce spirits.
00:04:25
Speaker 9: And then it worked well.
00:04:26
Speaker 8: So when we sold that and bought our next home, we staged that one as well just because it seemed to work.
00:04:32
Speaker 6: And no suspicion of weirdness in the new home?
00:04:34
Speaker 8: I will say when I say we, it was just me and my mum because Ben's not into it.
00:04:38
Speaker 6: He's not a big sage guy.
00:04:39
Speaker 9: No, but the two Greek women in the house, saging and pink candles, and there's a whole thing.
00:04:45
Speaker 6: I think you and I have both recently been through the experience that young children are terrifying.
00:04:52
Speaker 9: Oh, yeah, they are, aren't they?
00:04:54
Speaker 6: Young kids, if you don't believe in ghosts, suddenly you believe when you have a child because they will communicate with an empty space.
00:05:01
Speaker 9: Yeah.
00:05:03
Speaker 6: Or they'll stay transfixed at something or wave at something. I'm sure Molly does this.
00:05:06
Speaker 8: Yes, Molly does exactly that. It'll just be her and I in a room together, and she'll just look up into the corner of the room and wave.
00:05:12
Speaker 9: And I'm like, who are you waving at? Is there someone with us? What's happening? What's going on? And she'll just smile and then look away.
00:05:19
Speaker 6: Well, the smile's nice at least.
00:05:20
Speaker 12: Well, is it though?
00:05:22
Speaker 6: Do you want to be inviting? Maybe it's a nice ghost.
00:05:24
Speaker 9: Casper.
00:05:25
Speaker 6: Could be Casper. Could be a relative come to meet Molly, you know, an ancestor.
00:05:29
Speaker 12: Maybe.
00:05:30
Speaker 6: Coming to say hi.
00:05:31
Speaker 9: I'd love it if they came through me first.
00:05:33
Speaker 6: Yeah.
00:05:33
Speaker 9: You know.
00:05:34
Speaker 6: No, just straight to Molly.
00:05:35
Speaker 9: Straight to the baby.
00:05:36
Speaker 6: Kids, it's scary. It's weird.
00:05:37
Speaker 9: Has Rosie done anything like that?
00:05:39
Speaker 6: Yeah. There's two things that immediately come to mind. Especially when she started talking and making full sentences, she would say things like, her face would suddenly go sad and she'd look at my wife and say, mum, the bad man's downstairs. And we'd be sitting upstairs in bed and we'd go- Sorry, what? And she'd go, yeah, he's here. And then she'd just go off and she'd be back to playing. And my wife would be absolutely terrified. The other thing she had was this terrifying little doll with green eyes. Tiny little mini doll. It wasn't quite a troll. It wasn't quite a baby, but she loved it for about two weeks and she'd walk around everywhere with it. But sometimes you'd hear it saying to her, don't be so mean to my mum and dad.
00:06:22
Speaker 13: Oh.
00:06:23
Speaker 6: And she'd be playing some game with it, but it would be the mean one. I can't tell you how many times I found that doll in weird places when I came down in the middle of the night and be up on a bench that she couldn't reach. I think I actually, I burnt it. I destroyed it.
00:06:36
Speaker 14: It's gone.
00:06:36
Speaker 6: I destroyed it with fire because it kept turning up in the most random places around the house. It was, yeah.
00:06:41
Speaker 9: Yeah, fair.
00:06:42
Speaker 6: No, that's fair. I was terrorised by Chucky when I was a child. Oh, yeah.
00:06:46
Speaker 9: Why did they do that to us?
00:06:48
Speaker 8: Do you remember when there was that phase where people just dressed up as clowns?
00:06:52
Speaker 6: Yeah, the clown... We spoke about it with Grant Stephens.
00:06:54
Speaker 15: Yeah.
00:06:55
Speaker 6: We had to get him on the radio to talk about the clown craze that was going on.
00:06:59
Speaker 9: Because people were just dressing up as clowns and jumping out in the middle of the street.
00:07:03
Speaker 6: You know what? If you saw a scary clown, that puts you in the running with a meat tray this morning. Your spooky stories, your scary occurrences. Let's go to Kaya in Ridleyton. Kaya, good morning.
00:07:12
Speaker 16: Yes, good morning. As well as Stacey. My story is that I once visited the Old Adelaide Jail and when I had finished the Old Adelaide Jail, I went through to the gift shop where you have to exit and when I was looking through the gift shop, a flask on the top shelf came flying past me and landed on the floor and I said to the person that worked there, did you see that? And she did, and she said it was an anniversary of the death of one of the inmates there.
00:07:49
Speaker 17: On that day.
00:07:49
Speaker 15: Oh.
00:07:50
Speaker 6: Oh.
00:07:51
Speaker 9: Did you buy it?
00:07:52
Speaker 17: Yeah.
00:07:53
Speaker 16: I didn't buy it, no, but it was, yeah, no one was near that flask at the time or near the shelf, and, yeah, it just came flying past me.
00:08:04
Speaker 6: It is Adelaide's most famous haunted site, isn't it?
00:08:07
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:08:07
Speaker 6: The jail?
00:08:08
Speaker 8: I did a charity event and got locked in the jail, and there were some weird things that happened. And I don't know if they were just trying to torment us because we were locked in a cell. But when I looked through the little peephole, it almost looked like you could see an outline of a person.
00:08:23
Speaker 9: And yeah, it was bizarre. It's a really weird place.
00:08:26
Speaker 6: The only other person I know that's done an event that got locked in there and something weird happened afterward was Chris McDermott, who got locked in there and he came out and he ran for the Legislative Council. Let's go to Sally in Hillcrest.
00:08:37
Speaker 9: That'll do it.
00:08:37
Speaker 6: Good morning, Sally.
00:08:39
Speaker 15: Good morning. Oh, I've got so many stories I could tell you from, yeah, starting at Adelaide, old Adelaide jail through to my daughter at the age of four went through a full possession.
00:08:51
Speaker 10: What?
00:08:53
Speaker 18: Sorry?
00:08:53
Speaker 15: Yeah, she pinned my mum up against a bookshelf by her throat and would just taunt and, oh, it was the scariest time. Lots of conversations with our pastor, lots of prayer. We got through that one.
00:09:08
Speaker 6: Did someone do an exorcism?
00:09:11
Speaker 15: Not quite, but lots of... She was seeing red eyes and so lots of prayer, lots of talking about how the red eyes can't hurt her, banishing it in the name of God, all that sort of thing. It was madness. It's the scariest I've seen.
00:09:25
Speaker 6: If Stacey bought your house, Sally, she's definitely saved you.
00:09:29
Speaker 15: I would do. And then my son has a habit of seeing... And when we moved into a house at Salisbury East, he saw a guy in there and explained what the guy looked like. And I had someone come out. Stacey might remember this. She used to be able to get, like, jamboree out, and they'd do nail parties.
00:09:48
Speaker 9: Oh, yeah.
00:09:48
Speaker 15: For, like, stick-on nails. The lady who came out, her grandparents used to own that house, and he described her granddad to a T. And we'd never met her or knew her. It just... yeah.
00:10:00
Speaker 9: Oh, that is spooky.
00:10:02
Speaker 6: Sally, great call. You're a strong contender for the meat tray this morning. Let's go to Hampstead Gardens. Marge, good morning.
00:10:08
Speaker 19: Oh, hi.
00:10:08
Speaker 20: Mine's what I do. When my son was about 10, he bought a Freddy Krueger rubber mask from the Royal Show and scared all the neighbours. He used to jump out after dark when I'd come down the street and he got up on the kitchen sink and was scaring all the kids next door.
00:10:28
Speaker 21: Oh, my.
00:10:28
Speaker 22: That was brilliant.
00:10:31
Speaker 20: I had to get rid of it in the end because he really frightened them.
00:10:35
Speaker 15: It was horrible.
00:10:36
Speaker 6: Marge's 10-year-old terrorising the street dressed up as Freddy Krueger. That is a quality Meat Tray Friday entry. Spooky stories, occurrences, or maybe teen terrors, whatever it might well be. Call us and you will be in the running to win the Meat Tray this Friday morning.
00:10:51
Speaker 5: Knock down. Build two.
00:10:53
Speaker 3: With Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes. They do it all for you.
00:11:00
Speaker 4: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:11:10
Speaker 6: Spooky pre-Halloween meat tray this morning. The meat tray itself is not particularly spooky. It's from Chanel. It's fantastic, actually. But the text line certainly is. Some great stories coming through and some callers already that are in the running, including Michael in Ridleyton. Morning, Michael.
00:11:25
Speaker 23: Yeah, hi.
00:11:26
Speaker 18: Hi.
00:11:27
Speaker 23: So I also went to the old Adelaide jail and the thing is I went past the old Elizabeth Wilcox area and into her, like around her cell and as I was coming home I felt a presence of her and Yeah, it felt like she was actually living inside me for a little while.
00:12:01
Speaker 6: What did that feel like, Michael, the presence?
00:12:07
Speaker 23: It felt so for real.
00:12:09
Speaker 24: It felt like I just wanted to cry all the time. And I actually had to ask it to leave. Yeah, I've never experienced anything like that before.
00:12:23
Speaker 25: It was freaky.
00:12:26
Speaker 6: That sounds terrifying, Michael. Well, we're glad you managed to get the spirit out of you, and now you're in the running to win a meat tray, which is excellent.
00:12:34
Speaker 9: Quite obliging, if you just have to say.
00:12:35
Speaker 6: Yeah, just say, come on. Come on, spirit. Move on. Move on. A bit like Ian's ghost.
00:12:43
Speaker 8: We have an old place built pre-1870, and we have a ghost we call Gary, who's not scary, just seems a bit restless.
00:12:50
Speaker 6: Yeah, just an irritable ghost.
00:12:51
Speaker 11: Yep.
00:12:52
Speaker 9: Michael's got a spooky story on the text line, though.
00:12:54
Speaker 6: Hi, guys.
00:12:55
Speaker 8: My brother told me once that he saw his girlfriend's deceased grandmother sitting on a chair in a corner of their home. The weird thing was his girlfriend saw her, too. They looked at each other in amazement, and when they looked back, the grandmother had disappeared.
00:13:10
Speaker 11: Oh. Yeah.
00:13:11
Speaker 6: Both saying it is weird.
00:13:12
Speaker 9: Yeah.
00:13:13
Speaker 6: All right. That's a good one for the X-File.
00:13:15
Speaker 8: A couple jokes about spirits as well. Peter says, I only believe in one spirit and it's.
00:13:21
Speaker 9: Usually on the rocks.
00:13:21
Speaker 6: Yeah, very good, Peter. Safe way to be.
00:13:23
Speaker 26: Yep.
00:13:24
Speaker 9: And Rob says, the flask flying past at Adelaide Jail. Flask went past?
00:13:30
Speaker 21: Spirits?
00:13:31
Speaker 9: I think I know the reason.
00:13:31
Speaker 6: 20.2 degrees outside at the moment. It's a very warm morning. In fact, let's double check. I think we're the warmest capital city in the country. Yeah, outside of Darwin, obviously. Yeah, 20.2 degrees is the warmest. The top today, 28, but there will be some showers developing one to seven millimetres of rain, according to the Bureau. So the rain today, despite the fact it's going to be warm, continues tomorrow. There's a change that will come through 23 tomorrow and a bit of a drizzle. Then a really wet Sunday, two to 10 millimetres now. For Sunday, that's been revised upward in a significant way. 26th expected top that day. Doesn't get cold at any point over the next week, just a bit drizzly. 25 on Monday with maybe a sprinkle of rain about the place. Similar on Tuesday, 23. Maybe some showers, something a bit more substantial on Wednesday. Zero to five millimetres and a top of 22. The first dry day, entirely dry, is Thursday of next week and that will reach a top of just 21 degrees. So the driest and coolest day is next Thursday. Tom Wren joins us in the 5AA Breakfast Studio with lots going on in the world of sport at the moment. Gliderol Garage Doors, over 50 years strong, all colours, all styles, all street appeal. Gliderol.com.au. Morning, Wren. Morning, Will.
00:14:43
Speaker 27: Morning, Stacey. Look, the AFL fixture, it's been sort of leaked in the last few days. It's finally out. Interesting. And not surprisingly, the Crows are going to be prime time sort of kings, seven Thursday and Friday night games. So a lot of prime time footy for them. Port on the flip side. have only got the one. So I guess not that surprising given where they finished respectively last season. The thing I always sort of look for is who do you play twice? And for the Crows, it's pretty difficult. Fremantle, who of course made the grand final. Geelong, who's I think historically their worst side to play against. They're just tough as a matchup. Melbourne, the showdown, of course, twice. Richmond, which is better, and the Bulldogs, so pretty tough double up games there for the Crows.
00:15:28
Speaker 6: You'd say, and look, you play the games obviously, but based on recent history, a away trip to Freo and an away trip to Geelong, that's two losses.
00:15:36
Speaker 18: Yep.
00:15:37
Speaker 6: That's just what history has told us recently. They're fantastic. Jeez, the start of the season is going to sort some things out. For a side that has question marks about how is it performing against the best, they get a fair taste of the best early, don't they? They do. Yeah.
00:15:49
Speaker 27: And we know how much pressure there is. I think with gone on record, and I don't think it's unfair to say Matthew Nix is under probably the most pressure in the comp along with Ross Lyon.
00:16:00
Speaker 6: I think it's those two.
00:16:01
Speaker 27: And so if they're one and four and struggling, the heat's going to come quick, really quick. So, yep, it's there for them. And the draw is so funny, isn't it? What can look like a really difficult draw can then, depending on injuries to other clubs, can open up and vice versa. It can change so quickly.
00:16:20
Speaker 6: There's a potential for that Bulldogs double up to be a really scary one, isn't there? Darcy comes back, Zach Butters, Jordan Butts addresses the Bulldogs' biggest need. They're a side to watch, I reckon, next year.
00:16:30
Speaker 27: Well, it seems like an age ago. But remember, I reckon about round four or five, they were the premiership favourites by a fair way. And then they got all of those injuries and everything just sort of went downhill from there. But a bit of pressure actually as well on Luke Beveridge, even though he's won that flag. That was 10 years ago now. So, yeah, if they can stay healthy, which has been a big if for a while, yeah, the Doggies are a pretty scary team.
00:16:53
Speaker 6: Proposition.
00:16:54
Speaker 27: Port, in terms of their double up games, it's actually more difficult than what I thought they'd get for a side that finished as low as they did. Carlton, Hawthorne, Melbourne, then they've got Gold Coast who I think can't.
00:17:06
Speaker 5: Be any worse than they were this year.
00:17:08
Speaker 6: They have to improve.
00:17:09
Speaker 27: And West Coast is probably the easiest one there. So they've got some big Victorian clubs here, which is good for Port, but yeah, it's a pretty difficult draw.
00:17:17
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's not a cupcake draw, is it? It's not. So we'll see how it goes.
00:17:21
Speaker 9: It is what it is.
00:17:21
Speaker 27: It's never equal.
00:17:22
Speaker 6: It's never fair.
00:17:23
Speaker 27: It can't be because you don't play every side once or twice. So we'll see how that goes. Test match is so well placed. Aussies on top. South Africa four for 140 in their second innings. Aussies with a hundred run lead in the first inning. So effectively the Proteas are four for 40. If they can get a lead, above 180, it starts to become nervous times for Australia. So it's, you know, and then batting fourth, which we elected to do that.
00:17:50
Speaker 6: You might have been, not wrong, just early on the toss criticism. If they come in and the pitch is an absolute.
00:17:55
Speaker 27: Yeah, and it starts to wear and, you know, you get that inconsistent bounce. But hopefully some early wickets early on day four will have the Australians ready to go. But a great test match, worthy of a series decider.
00:18:06
Speaker 6: All right, good stuff. Thanks, guys.
00:18:10
Speaker 3: Knock down.
00:18:11
Speaker 9: Build two.
00:18:12
Speaker 3: With Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes. They do it all for you.
00:18:18
Speaker 4: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:18:23
Speaker 6: 20 minutes to 7. Sad news in the entertainment world has just come through. The wonderful British actor Patrick Stewart has died at the age of 86. His publicist and family released... a statement that he died after what they describe as a brief and poignant journey with Alzheimer's disease and Lewy body dementia or Levy body dementia. I'm not sure how you say that one. He says he's been held in the warm embrace of family and friends, surrounded by live music, prayer, tears, laughter, and the kind of profound emotion that only he could inspire after a lifetime of devotion to us all. He was, there's a saying, it's not a saying, there's a bit of, sort of entertainment industry wisdom that goes, sometimes you need to put in the silliest roles the greatest of actors, or you can elevate something by something that's so weird and strange and silly, like the captain of the Enterprise after William Shatner. So the original Star Trek series comes out with the iconic, albeit flawed, performance of William Shatner as the captain. And then, so how do you follow that up? Do you do some other sort of swashbuckling, good-looking but kind of wooden actor thing? Or do you put in a Shakespearean stage veteran? And that's what they did. And it became this really iconic performance. And then he went on to be Charles Xavier in The X-Men. Again, impossible to cast role. You can't imagine it being being anyone else he had a wonderful hat and had very funny for people that have seen it um turn on extras the ricky gervais comedy where he took the mickey out of himself and basically played himself as a sort of puerile juvenile perfect playing himself he was taking the mickey out of himself but just a wonderful one of the most beautiful voices um I can think of. Just very sad and shocking. Feels like it came out of nowhere. But at 86 years of age.
00:20:11
Speaker 9: We both, when Jess said Patrick Stewart's died.
00:20:14
Speaker 6: I thought, no. He always looks like such a healthy guy.
00:20:17
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:20:18
Speaker 6: And whenever he spoke, I think because of the quality of his voice. And he always seemed so healthy and full of life. Had a great relationship with Ian McKellen as well. The other wonderful British actor, of course, Lord of the Rings fame. And also X-Men together. That's very sad news this morning.
00:20:32
Speaker 15: It is.
00:20:32
Speaker 6: It's just come out. All right, let's get local and head to Nord because Bianca Wiley for the day show is at the scene of a fire at Nord. No, I'm going to need some help, Patrick, because my computer won't let me click on it. I can't click on Bianca.
00:20:45
Speaker 5: Oh, no.
00:20:46
Speaker 6: So we can't go to Nord. We can't talk to Bianca. Thank you. No, we'll go there in a moment. Let's do some text. We'll get the meat tray, of course, thanks to the wonderful people at Chanel's to give away. We're asking you about spooky stories this morning.
00:20:57
Speaker 9: Spooky stories.
00:20:57
Speaker 8: John on the text line. Guys, growing up in an old homestead in Murray Bridge... We would hear footsteps up and down the hallway at night and I had to sleep with a blanket over my head as a kid as I'd always wake up to someone blowing in my face.
00:21:11
Speaker 9: I was so glad to move to Adelaide and have a good sleep.
00:21:15
Speaker 6: Well, that's scary and disturbing in equal measures. I think we've got Bianca now, so let's head to Nord. Bianca Wiley for The Today Show. Good morning to you. Just tell us, where are you and what's happened to this business?
00:21:26
Speaker 28: Good morning, Will and Stacey. Well, this is Beulah Road. It was around just after 4.30 actually when firefighters were called here and there were flames coming out the roof of this building. Then there was thick smoke coming out of it for quite some time after those flames had been extinguished. Just to give you a bit of idea as to how thick that smoke was, as we were driving to the scene, we were coming past Bartles Road and we could see that smoke and we wound down the window just to make sure that was the smoke. And yes, it indeed was. The smell was quite awful, actually. But the police are treating this fire as suspicious. I can also tell you that this facility appears to be a tobacco warehouse. It has been hit a number of times since April this year. Firefighters have told us they did have some difficulty getting into the room where the fire started. They had to use some help from their aerial appliance, also opening up the roller doors, and also the plastic sheeting, which is on the roof of the building, they've also told us has melted from that fire.
00:22:31
Speaker 9: Tobacco warehouse.
00:22:32
Speaker 6: Yeah, all the mystery of that one evaporated when we found out tobacco warehouse, didn't we? I guess the notable thing there is it's another tobacco-related fire, police treating it. It felt like we'd been through the height of that, And maybe we're coming out the other side of it a bit. But that one would suggest that that still very much is a live issue. Bianca, thank you. Bianca Wiley for today's show at that Nord Business Fire. You'll see those pictures on your news services tonight. We had a few people that have texted us. And I can't recall if we've actually addressed this directly or not in talking about how the illegal tobacco industry is changing. Because I think we might have identified the fact that there's fuel fires or these shops are getting shut. And they said a lot of it now is illegal. So sophisticated, it's all online.
00:23:16
Speaker 9: Oh, yeah.
00:23:17
Speaker 6: So they've managed to make that bricks-and-mortar business digital and harder to detect.
00:23:23
Speaker 8: Hence these warehouses now being targeted, not a shop front as such.
00:23:27
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly right. That's interesting. We'll follow that one over the course of the day. All right, let's head to Noolunga Downs. Matt, you've got a spooky story for us for the meat tray.
00:23:35
Speaker 10: How you going, mate?
00:23:36
Speaker 6: Good, Matt.
00:23:37
Speaker 29: Well, Mum's actually got the story, so I'll let her tell the story.
00:23:42
Speaker 6: All right, put your mum on.
00:23:44
Speaker 26: Good morning.
00:23:45
Speaker 6: Good morning.
00:23:46
Speaker 30: Hello, Matt's mum. This was back in 1961. My dad used to keep an old metal clock, the ringer ones with the bell, in a metal tin. During the middle of the night, they woke up hearing glass cracking, so they went all through the house looking for a window that had been cracked or something. They couldn't find anything. So my dad said, I wonder what time it is. He had a look at his clock, and the glass on the front of it had actually cracked at 11 o'clock.
00:24:14
Speaker 22: Later that day, they got.
00:24:16
Speaker 30: A telegram from Stranraer because they lived in Glasgow, and it was telling them to get back to Stranraer because my grandmother had had a stroke. So they packed us all up the next day and went over there, and at 11 o'clock that day, my grandmother passed away.
00:24:31
Speaker 9: At 11 o'clock?
00:24:33
Speaker 30: At 11 o'clock.
00:24:34
Speaker 19: Wow.
00:24:35
Speaker 30: That's what was cracked on the glass. My dad was a big non-believer, but after that, he got a bit spooky.
00:24:41
Speaker 6: Oh, I bet. Oh, boy.
00:24:43
Speaker 9: Oh, wow.
00:24:44
Speaker 6: Sorry, we didn't catch your name, Matt's mum.
00:24:46
Speaker 30: I'm Mary.
00:24:48
Speaker 6: Mary. Well, that is a remarkable story, Mary. Thank you for sharing that with us.
00:24:51
Speaker 9: Matt, before you go, did I see you last night?
00:24:55
Speaker 30: Pardon?
00:24:56
Speaker 9: Did I see Matt last night?
00:24:57
Speaker 8: I met Matt last night at the Hotel Panorama.
00:25:00
Speaker 9: I was wondering if it was him.
00:25:03
Speaker 26: That probably was not me.
00:25:04
Speaker 6: Okay, different Matt than mine.
00:25:06
Speaker 1: All good.
00:25:07
Speaker 25: I kind of wish it was.
00:25:09
Speaker 6: Hey, good to chat with you, Matt, and your mum, Mary. What an unbelievable story. Let's go to Salisbury Heights. Gayle, you've got a spooky story for us.
00:25:17
Speaker 22: Yeah, yeah.
00:25:19
Speaker 31: Many years ago, a friend of mine was going to Melbourne with his then-fiancé for a wedding, and about three or four days before that, I was I had a dream, I was woken up during the night actually, of them driving in a car and the car just rolling and rolling and it was really awful. And then I met my friend for lunch and said, look, you know, tried to tell him that, you know, I was having some sort of a premonition about something happening and, you know, trying to warn them. And I didn't really want to tell them, don't go to the wedding. But anyway, they ended up going. And on the way back, between Horsham and Stawell, they had an accident. His fiancé was driving, yeah, and his fiancé was killed in the accident.
00:26:08
Speaker 6: Oh, my goodness.
00:26:09
Speaker 31: Yeah, and also her little four-year-old boy. And I'll never forget, it was back in 1997, and it was just a tragedy to this day. And I'll never forget the dream. It was about three years. Nights before, the dream woke me up. It was just awful.
00:26:26
Speaker 11: Oh, Gail.
00:26:27
Speaker 31: Yeah, yeah. And it was just one of those things. How do you explain that? And it was, yeah, what you'd call a premonition. And just awful. And it's just like something was trying to tell me to warn them. But, yeah, I'll never forget it.
00:26:45
Speaker 19: Wow.
00:26:46
Speaker 9: Oh, my goodness.
00:26:47
Speaker 6: Crikey, Gail. That is beyond spooky.
00:26:49
Speaker 32: Yeah.
00:26:50
Speaker 9: Yeah.
00:26:53
Speaker 6: I think you gave all of Adelaide goosebumps just then, Gail. Thank you. We'll take more of your Meat Tray Friday calls shortly on your spooky stories. 8223 0000 or Texas on 04808 1395. It is time, however, for the weather. The weather, of course, a little different in case you missed yesterday's breaking news because the Bureau have forsaken us. Actually, they haven't.
00:27:16
Speaker 9: Will now does it in song and dance form.
00:27:19
Speaker 6: They've just moved to 720, but they're not going to be on it this time now, so we have a musical-themed weather. I don't know why. I just felt like the right thing to do.
00:27:27
Speaker 9: It just came over you.
00:27:29
Speaker 6: It did. 28 degrees is the expected top today, 20.2 outside at the moment. Showers developing over the course of the day, 1 to 7 millimetres of rain. The rain we do get will likely be a little bit later in the day as we head towards the afternoon and evening.
00:27:44
Speaker 13: And.
00:27:47
Speaker 6: There'll be some wind about the place as well, 20 to 30 K northeasterly that will tend northwest to northeasterly by the middle of the day. So small chance of a thunderstorm maybe to this afternoon. So be wary of that. In fact, that ended your thinking. But otherwise, that rain at 1 to 7 millimetres the early afternoon into the evening, the seas below a metre increasing to 1 to 1.5 metres over the course of the day. and the sunset tonight will be at about 7.43. Over the course of the days ahead, tomorrow we have a... Where's this hopelessly website? 23 degrees. You won't hear that from the Bureau. Zero to two millimetres expected in the gauge, and then Sunday... 26 for your weekend. 2 to 10 is going to be the wet day. 2 to 10 millimetres of rain on the Sunday.
00:28:40
Speaker 9: Casey Treloar, eat your heart out.
00:28:41
Speaker 6: How about that? You don't see Casey bagging her tools. But then she doesn't have a cracking soundtrack either, so you know.
00:28:48
Speaker 9: I've got to say, it is distracting.
00:28:50
Speaker 8: I didn't listen to the first 30 seconds of anything you said because I was just singing along.
00:28:54
Speaker 6: Well, that's good. That's good. But you can still hear the actual Bureau do it much better at 7.20, okay? Deal. So if you're too busy like Stacey clicking your heels along to the music, it's good news. Let's head to SAPOL. Senior Councillor Matt Brown without a soundtrack. Matt, what do you guys make of this fire at Nord that we just crossed to?
00:29:12
Speaker 34: Good morning, Lillian and Stacey. Just after 4.30am today, police and MFS crews were called to the property on Beulah Road after reports of a large fire. Now, fire crews are working to extinguish the blaze, which police believe was deliberately lit. And Beulah Road is closed in both directions between Sydenham Road and Fullerton Road. And please avoid the area if possible. But if you saw suspicious activity around the warehouse this morning, please call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
00:29:35
Speaker 21: All right.
00:29:36
Speaker 11: And.
00:29:40
Speaker 8: Safe e-bike riding traffic operations now happening in the southern suburbs?
00:29:44
Speaker 34: That's right, Stacey. Police will have an increased presence across the southern suburbs tomorrow during Halloween when most people will be walking around doing trick-or-treating, but some might choose to ride an e-bike as well. But as part of ongoing efforts to promote road safety within the southern suburbs, southern district officers will be supported by specialist police resources to provide a visible presence in areas commonly used by e-bike riders, motorists, pedestrians and families. So we're urging mums and dads to consider the critical role they play in ensuring young people ride safely and lawfully before buying an e-bike for your child to ride. Just make sure it complies with South Australian legislation and riders understand the road rules and where they can legally ride, of course, always wear a helmet and appropriate safety gear if needed as well. So where lawful grounds exist, police can issue fines, report offenders, seize the bikes and pursue further actions through the court. So we certainly don't want to go down that track. So just encouraging everyone to ride safely on their e-bikes tomorrow.
00:30:45
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a good message, Matt. And just lastly, you've released the image of someone who's a suspect at Davron Park. Break in.
00:30:53
Speaker 34: That's right, Will. This one happened last week about 10.10pm on Tuesday 20th October. The victim was asleep in his Ashton Road, Davron Park home when three men forced their way inside and assaulted him, causing serious injuries which required hospital treatment. A trio of suspects then fled the scene in company with a fourth offender. The suspects were all wearing dark clothing with hooded jumpers and balaclavas. The last scene running north on Ashton Road with one suspect heading east on Sewell Road. And police suspect this was not a random incident. After speaking with the victim, we've put together a computer-generated image which we've put on our Facebook page. So get on there and check it out. And if you do recognise the person or saw suspicious activity in the Ashton Road, Davron Park area last Tuesday, please call Crimestoppers on 1800 333 000. All right.
00:31:40
Speaker 6: Thank you, Matt. Senior Councillor Matt Brown there from Sapo. Let's check traffic for the first time this Friday morning. A beautiful noise. The Neil Diamond musical is coming to Adelaide in May. Join the waitlist now.
00:31:49
Speaker 3: 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.
00:31:57
Speaker 4: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:32:04
Speaker 6: Three minutes to seven. We have a top seven before seven in a moment. The top seven scariest things in 2026.
00:32:11
Speaker 15: Oh.

Speaker 6: We'll have to find out if it's on the list. That's coming up in a second. Firstly, let's take some calls on the mate tray. Your spooky stories. John Athelston's on the line. John, what have you got for us?
00:32:29
Speaker 17: Yes. In 2019, my wife died of pancreatic cancer. And a fortnight after that, I was at home with our little dog, and I... fell asleep on the lazy boy. And he was alongside me and everything. And I woke up with a woof.
00:32:58
Speaker 25: And I sat up and there was my wife in the corner.
00:33:03
Speaker 6: No.
00:33:05
Speaker 25: And she was dressed in a white dress. Beautiful, beautiful smile. And the next minute, The dog went, woof, and she disappeared. And I just sat there with my mouth open.
00:33:28
Speaker 17: I just couldn't say anything.
00:33:30
Speaker 6: Wow.
00:33:30
Speaker 9: Oh, John.
00:33:31
Speaker 6: Oh, John, and you can hear it in your voice. What a remarkable moment. She paid you a visit, John. Gee, listen, I'll tell you what the stories are. They're a level of spooky above what I was expecting.
00:33:43
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know.
00:33:44
Speaker 6: I've got to say, well played, everyone. People have seen some things out there in our audience. Keep the stories coming in. 8223 0000. Text us on 04808 1395. Shall we do our top seven for seven scariest things of 2026? Yeah, go on. All right, here we go.
00:34:00
Speaker 5: The top seven before seven.
00:34:02
Speaker 6: Number seven, fake spider webs. Scariest things in 2026.
00:34:06
Speaker 9: Apparently to local councils.
00:34:08
Speaker 6: You can't be too careful.
00:34:09
Speaker 9: Or birds.
00:34:10
Speaker 6: Number six, El Nino. El Nino. El Niño. Ben Jones sent us through a weather stat actually saying this is the 60th wettest year to date on record.
00:34:19
Speaker 9: Is that Niño or Niña? One's wet, one's dry?
00:34:23
Speaker 1: I don't know.
00:34:24
Speaker 6: This is Niño. You're the new weather girl. Patrick, who wrote the list, just said, don't look at me. He wrote the list.
00:34:30
Speaker 9: You're the new weatherman, Will.
00:34:31
Speaker 6: That's true. Number five, life without Taylor Walker. Scariest things. It's more scary in 2027. Number four, school zones. Genuinely terrifying.
00:34:40
Speaker 19: Oh, terrifying.
00:34:41
Speaker 6: Driving in the vicinity of a school zone.
00:34:43
Speaker 9: Can't work out what's happening.
00:34:44
Speaker 6: Have you noticed you go through a school zone and every car does a different speed?
00:34:48
Speaker 9: And you just look at each other like, I don't know.
00:34:49
Speaker 6: Yeah, everyone's like, I don't know. Good luck. Number three, data centres. We're going to talk more about that after seven o'clock. There was a meeting in the hills about that last night.
00:34:56
Speaker 9: Last night was scary.
00:34:57
Speaker 6: It was genuinely scary. It got called off because of a bomb threat. And number two, bikies and racing motorbikes. Just bikes everywhere. Motorised bikes all round have been scary in 2026. And the number one, fuel prices, the scariest thing of 2026, fuel prices. I would have put Michelle Bullock on there personally.
00:35:16
Speaker 9: Opening an electricity bill.
00:35:17
Speaker 6: Yeah, opening an electricity bill. If you've got nominations for the scariest thing of 2026, you can add them to the list by texting us on 04808 1390. It's 13.
00:35:28
Speaker 3: Knock down.
00:35:29
Speaker 5: Build two.
00:35:30
Speaker 3: With Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes. They do it all for you.
00:35:36
Speaker 4: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:35:42
Speaker 6: Seven after seven. Good morning to you. Welcome to a spooky Friday morning. If you're joining us for the first time, you missed some remarkable calls in that first hour. On Halloween's Eve, we're asking you about spooky stories that you've experienced in your life for the meat trade this morning. Thanks to Chanel as an hour listeners. I tell you what. have experienced and seen some spooky things. We then had a Top 7 Before 7 that featured the scariest things in 2026, and we've got some great suggestions of things we missed.
00:36:06
Speaker 9: We do. Ben says, how scary is federal government spending?
00:36:10
Speaker 6: Terrifying.
00:36:11
Speaker 9: Rita, scariest thing in 2026, artificial intelligence.
00:36:15
Speaker 6: Yeah, they had to make the list.
00:36:17
Speaker 9: Yeah, for a number of reasons.
00:36:19
Speaker 6: There's some great, I've been in the weeds of, US midterm season, and they're polling everything in America at the moment because the polling industry is so big. But there's some great stuff that I would apply to Australia, and a lot of it's about data centres. We'll talk more about it when we talk about the Tunkillo case here in Adelaide.
00:36:34
Speaker 15: Yes.
00:36:34
Speaker 6: But one of the things people were questioned on was, should the rate of AI development accelerate? Should it decelerate? Or you don't have an opinion? And accelerate was... 3% of people should slow down was in the mid-80s. The polling on data centres is as uniform a thing as you can ask human beings about in the Western world at the moment. Yeah. No one likes it.
00:37:00
Speaker 9: No, except governments.
00:37:02
Speaker 6: Except governments. Well, this is what's going to be interesting in the US next week, and it's going to be interesting here in Australia too.
00:37:08
Speaker 10: Yep.
00:37:08
Speaker 6: Because the case has not been made well to people. People hate these things. Hate them in a way that defies your politics.
00:37:15
Speaker 12: No.
00:37:15
Speaker 6: It doesn't matter whether you're a Green. It doesn't matter if you're a Conservative. It doesn't matter if you're, you know, a left suburbanite. People don't want to dance and meet them.
00:37:23
Speaker 15: Yep.
00:37:24
Speaker 9: Some more suggestions coming in.
00:37:26
Speaker 8: Peter in Craigmore says the scariest thing for 2026 has got to be Donald Trump.
00:37:31
Speaker 6: Should we play the audio of the Trump rally that happened?
00:37:34
Speaker 11: Oh, yeah, do it.
00:37:34
Speaker 9: Go on.
00:37:35
Speaker 6: It's happened overnight while you've been sleeping. Because obviously the midterms are coming up. So Donald Trump's travelling and Barack Obama's travelling around the country. They're all trying to drum up support in the Senate races they need to win and the And the other battles they're looking to win. And so there's these presidential election style rallies going on. And Fox News crossed to someone to get a sense of what the people thought at one of these rallies. So this is live on TV.
00:37:56
Speaker 35: We got Tom right here, kind enough to answer.
00:37:59
Speaker 5: A few questions. Tom, why are you here this morning?
00:38:02
Speaker 9: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to get involved.
00:38:07
Speaker 6: And go to South America for.
00:38:09
Speaker 12: The Jonestown Massacre, but this is as close as I'll.
00:38:11
Speaker 6: Ever get, so that's why I'm here.
00:38:12
Speaker 10: Wait, the Jonestown Massacre?
00:38:14
Speaker 17: That's right.
00:38:14
Speaker 10: There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front, man.
00:38:17
Speaker 25: All right.
00:38:18
Speaker 32: Maybe this is not a Trump supporter right now.
00:38:21
Speaker 5: It's okay.
00:38:22
Speaker 16: We'll find out.
00:38:22
Speaker 6: I appreciate that. So that person is scared of Donald Trump. Just know there's someone like you infiltrated that rally and got interviewed on Fox News Live on television.
00:38:32
Speaker 9: Were they in the rally?
00:38:34
Speaker 6: They were inside the building. Yeah, that person was inside the building.
00:38:37
Speaker 8: That's a lot of effort to go to for something you disagree with.
00:38:41
Speaker 6: Very, very funny. They thought they were speaking to a true believer.
00:38:45
Speaker 9: Marcus, politicians' pay rises and salaries are beyond scary. Matt, flying through the Middle East.
00:38:52
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a scary thing in 2026.
00:38:54
Speaker 29: Yep.
00:38:57
Speaker 8: Chalmers' grasp of economics and Bowen's grasp of the electricity market.
00:39:01
Speaker 9: Terrifying.
00:39:02
Speaker 6: Yeah. All good suggestions. We could have done a top 27 on that one. Keep them coming in. 0408 1395. A bit of sad news as well. We just learned in the last 30 minutes about Patrick Stewart passing away at the age of 86. Not about revenge.
00:39:16
Speaker 21: Liar!
00:39:16
Speaker 36: This is about saving the future of humanity!
00:39:19
Speaker 30: John, look, blow up the damn ship!
00:39:21
Speaker 6: No!
00:39:21
Speaker 12: No!
00:39:23
Speaker 5: No!
00:39:28
Speaker 12: I will not sacrifice.
00:39:30
Speaker 16: The enterprise.
00:39:32
Speaker 36: We've made too many compromises already too many retreats they invade our space and we fall back they assimilate entire worlds and we fall back not again the line must be drawn here this far no further and I will make them pay for what they've done.
00:39:55
Speaker 6: That's Patrick Stewart as Jean-Luc Picard the captain of the Enterprise Scott says guys we need Captain Picard died we need at least one Star Trek intro lead in a lot of people with wonderful memories of Patrick Stewart just a terrific actor remarkable voice and accent that Shakespearean trained British actor that I'm not sure they churn out anymore I don't know if they make them like Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart anymore and others of that ilk. But that was some sad news about the place this morning as well. The other thing we wanted to quickly follow up that came out of yesterday was this time yesterday, we were crossing live to a police shooting at Furl. And I think you made the observation at the time, Stacey, there'll be a commissioners inquiry into this. That is underway. However, the acting police commissioner, Linda Williams, did speak to the media yesterday and said this.
00:40:43
Speaker 32: I did view the body worn video of the incident today. I'm very concerned. comfortable with the practices and the procedures and how police responded to a very difficult and a very challenging situation that unfolded very fast.
00:40:58
Speaker 6: So her making a comment I think that clear would suggest that this is a pretty open and shut case of the police follow protocol. Obviously we'll see and all these things always get investigated to the fullest extent but the Commissioner at very least at this point is fully satisfied with what police did. The other nice little story that's not your red is an update on Cassie the chimp out of the Monato Zoo.
00:41:21
Speaker 13: It's been really fascinating for us watching the troop interactions with Cassie. They've been really intrigued from the moment she's got here and some really special interactions have come from our male chimpanzees in the group. It's really important at this stage in the process that we're just working on milestones.
00:41:38
Speaker 6: So Cassie is getting closer to being put into the troop. Of course she'd been rejected at Rockhampton Zoo. It was in Queensland anyway and been sent to Monado. So hopefully, hopefully she'll be embraced.
00:41:50
Speaker 9: They're playing through some mesh now. They're sticking sticks through.
00:41:53
Speaker 6: It seems positive.
00:41:54
Speaker 9: Interacting with each other.
00:41:55
Speaker 6: From what we know about primate interaction. It looks like they're all kind of getting along.
00:41:59
Speaker 9: Whatever it is, it's good news. And it put a smile on my face.
00:42:02
Speaker 11: Absolutely.
00:42:02
Speaker 8: And we hope it puts a smile on your face this morning that Cassie is slowly being integrated into the.
00:42:07
Speaker 9: I was about to say the pride, but that's lions, isn't it?
00:42:09
Speaker 6: The troop. The troop. The troop of her kind. And this will put a smile on your face. Steve on the text line says, The scariest moment of 2026 was when my wife found a receipt for a thousand dollar golf club that I'd forgotten to tell her about. Thank you for that, Steve.
00:42:22
Speaker 9: Forgotten.
00:42:23
Speaker 6: Yeah. I'm sure he did. Let's bring Liz McCaskill into this spooky conversation on this Friday morning on the eve of Halloween. Liz, good morning to you.
00:42:33
Speaker 22: Good morning, Will and Stacey and to your listeners.
00:42:35
Speaker 9: Hello, Liz, our resident psychic.
00:42:37
Speaker 6: Yes. Liz, we wanted to, we were originally going to get you on, well, and we still get some horse racing tips out of you for the weekend.
00:42:43
Speaker 23: Um, Okay.
00:42:45
Speaker 6: Because we love when you define the future for us. But we are talking spooky stories this morning. This is the world you inhabit and you live in. You must have seen some unexplained or spooky things in your time.
00:42:58
Speaker 22: Yeah, I have. I've seen things that will probably make your hair curl and your chest hairs fall off. But it's sort of like different places you go to and different feelings you have. Even at our station, 5AA, we've seen things there.
00:43:12
Speaker 6: Oh, do tell.
00:43:13
Speaker 20: What?
00:43:14
Speaker 22: Yeah, there's a man that walks around.
00:43:16
Speaker 6: I've seen some ghosts walking around here, but, you know.
00:43:19
Speaker 22: Yes, quite a few of us have seen him. There's a man that walks around. First of all, we thought it was Matthew Pantelis, but it was so early in the morning. But he's tall, he's dark, he carries a folder, and he comes from the hallway into the newsroom.
00:43:34
Speaker 6: Crikey.
00:43:35
Speaker 10: Yeah, and we go.
00:43:36
Speaker 22: Into the newsroom and there's no one there.
00:43:38
Speaker 6: The 5AA ghost.
00:43:41
Speaker 22: Yep, and in the toilets. We've been in the toilets, Angie and myself, and we've been in one toilet and the next two are empty and the next minute the toilet roll from the third toilet comes rolling out to the ground.
00:43:54
Speaker 9: No, that sounds like Angie playing a prank on you, Liz.
00:43:56
Speaker 6: No, it's not.
00:43:59
Speaker 22: She's behind me, holding me.
00:44:02
Speaker 6: No, I think Angie would be terrified of all this. Do you feel like because you're more attuned to the spirits, Liz, that you... observe more of this phenomena? It sort of comes to you a bit more?
00:44:13
Speaker 10: Oh, yeah, sure, yeah.
00:44:14
Speaker 35: That's sure, yeah.
00:44:16
Speaker 22: Even Nova has had experiences up there in the toilet area.
00:44:22
Speaker 9: Why in the toilets?
00:44:24
Speaker 17: I don't know.
00:44:24
Speaker 22: Maybe they think it's a good place to hide.
00:44:30
Speaker 6: Brings a whole new meaning to the secret scene, doesn't it, on the Nova floor?
00:44:33
Speaker 22: Well, that's exactly right.
00:44:34
Speaker 21: Stop.
00:44:39
Speaker 6: Imagine that competition. No, we love Nova. They're great. I'm a little jealous that they got a ghost as well, Liz. I mean, crikey. We surely wear the one he wants.
00:44:50
Speaker 9: Can't we have anything to ourselves?
00:44:51
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly right. I would have thought we'd have a mortgage on the ghosts in this town.
00:44:54
Speaker 22: Yeah, but our ghost is good looking.
00:44:57
Speaker 19: Better looking.
00:44:58
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's right.
00:44:58
Speaker 9: Of course.
00:44:59
Speaker 6: And going to the newsroom.
00:45:00
Speaker 9: More distinguished, yeah.
00:45:01
Speaker 10: It's tall and dark.
00:45:02
Speaker 6: Goes to the newsroom.
00:45:02
Speaker 22: And yes, it's well educated because it's.
00:45:04
Speaker 6: Going to the newsroom. This is hanging around the bathroom.
00:45:05
Speaker 22: This is just hanging around the toilet.
00:45:07
Speaker 21: Yeah.
00:45:08
Speaker 12: Okay.
00:45:09
Speaker 8: So, Liz, we understand that recently you've had a bit of luck with picking a winner in the races.
00:45:16
Speaker 22: Yeah, I have had pick winners in places. But normally I would just say I just go by whatever name stands out to me. And, like, a lot of people will go by colours, numbers, or, like, names themselves, or you get the professionals that will go by the weight, the track, the distances. And you've got to bear in mind they're all good horses to be in the race, so it could be anyone's chance on the day. But I've just had a little story. I'll tell you the one I'm choosing on Saturday for the Derby. The last couple of days I've had a cold shower. I've gone to get in the shower and the shower's been cold. Every tap in the house has worked, the hot water's worked, except for the shower. And then yesterday I was looking at the track for the Derby, like the And I got down to number 14 and it was cold shower. So that's the one I'm going.
00:46:13
Speaker 26: To go for.
00:46:14
Speaker 17: Okay.
00:46:14
Speaker 22: I didn't look any further.
00:46:15
Speaker 5: All right.
00:46:16
Speaker 22: And then Angie looked it up and she said it's trained by a gay water house.
00:46:21
Speaker 6: Oh, that's good.
00:46:22
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:46:23
Speaker 9: Now, the field for the Melbourne Cup hasn't been released yet.
00:46:29
Speaker 22: Yes, it hasn't been released.
00:46:30
Speaker 9: Can you give us any.
00:46:32
Speaker 6: Yeah, numbers or colours.
00:46:33
Speaker 9: Any numbers or colours or anything? Do you have any vibes, any early vibes?
00:46:38
Speaker 22: Well, don't go number 13. I would not be going for that one. I like number ones or 11, but I'd have to look at the field. I mean, it depends on who wins the derby on Saturday, what the field's going to be like. But I can always text you on Monday.
00:46:54
Speaker 6: Yeah, all right, do that. Sounds like you know your horse racing a bit, Liz. You're into the horses.
00:46:59
Speaker 22: Oh, no, my dad was, but I don't, yeah.
00:47:02
Speaker 6: Okay.
00:47:03
Speaker 22: I just go by, look, again, we're responsibly.
00:47:06
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, well said.
00:47:07
Speaker 34: Oh, yeah.
00:47:08
Speaker 6: Liz, that was magnificent. I always enjoy chatting with you, Liz. I didn't know, and now I've learnt something about this building. I look forward to bumping into the Pantelis-esque ghost that's wandering around.
00:47:18
Speaker 9: And I won't be going to the toilets on the Nova floor.
00:47:20
Speaker 22: That's exactly right, unless you're accompanied.
00:47:25
Speaker 6: Good stuff. Hey, Liz, we'll see you around the place.
00:47:27
Speaker 22: Have a good weekend, you both.
00:47:28
Speaker 6: The wonderful Liz McCaskill, our guest on 5AA Breakfast. Lots of great texts coming through. I really like this one from Chris. Running a business next door to a tobacco shop. Now that is scary.
00:47:43
Speaker 8: This person says, Sue, I love listening to Liz. She helped me out with strange happenings a few years back and described my father without ever having seen him and helped me deal with the situation.
00:47:53
Speaker 9: So there you go.
00:47:54
Speaker 6: Good stuff. She's a superstar, Liz. All right, 90 minutes after seven. We're going to check traffic. A beautiful noise, the Neil Diamond musicals bring an exclusive performance to Rundle Mall this Friday.
00:48:03
Speaker 3: 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.
00:48:11
Speaker 5: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee.
00:48:13
Speaker 4: This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:48:17
Speaker 6: 23 minutes after 7, the new home of the Weather Bureau on 5AA Breakfast. Chris Kent is on duty this morning. Chris, what do we have in store for Friday and the weekend?
00:48:27
Speaker 34: Yeah, g'day, guys.
00:48:28
Speaker 14: We've had a reasonably warm morning through Adelaide. Only a minimum of 19 degrees. Currently sitting around 21 now. There is some showers moving into the Spencer Gulf. The odd sort of, yeah, thunderstorm in there as well. They're heading south towards Kangaroo Island, but they are sort of, yeah, slowly moving to the east as well, so you can't expect some of that to arrive around Adelaide. during this afternoon. Showers and thunderstorms continuing throughout the afternoon. Well, the thunderstorm is probably more likely during the later afternoon into the evening time. But yeah, there is a risk of some noisy storms around this afternoon. So yeah, looking at maybe sort of around 5mm or so potentially the hills and might get up to around 10 so yeah a little bit of rainfall to come later this afternoon and into the evening.
00:49:30
Speaker 6: Plenty to look out for then a little bit later today. Chris, thank you. Chris Kent at the Weather Bureau. Let's take some calls for Mitro Friday, shall we? Your spooky stories. We heard from Liz McCaskill before the break. Dave and Albert is on the line. Dave, good morning.
00:49:42
Speaker 29: Good morning, team. Look, the story's so harrowing, I'm almost reluctant to relive it. Just over 12 months ago.
00:49:52
Speaker 29: Adelaide were two games clear on top of the table.
00:49:55
Speaker 6: They danced two home finals. Righto, finish your story with a straight face, Dave.
00:50:07
Speaker 26: I can tell you I was scared.
00:50:08
Speaker 29: I was really scared.
00:50:10
Speaker 12: And how are you feeling now that it's over, Dave?
00:50:16
Speaker 29: Look, I've got through it, but there's always the potential it might pop up again.
00:50:20
Speaker 21: Yeah.
00:50:20
Speaker 6: It's funny, I find the back end of that story more scary than the start of it. Thank you for that, Dave. Keep them coming in, 8223 0000. You can text us on 04808 1395. Your spooky stories for the meat tray. Coming up after 7.30, Magda Libet's going to join us. She was at the meeting last night against the Tangkilo data centre that got called off because of a bomb threat. A credible bomb threat was what people there were told. A lot really wanted the meeting to continue.
00:50:50
Speaker 12: Yeah.
00:50:51
Speaker 6: Such as the community angst about the data centre development there. So we'll talk about that. Also, we're going to head to the nation's capital where, guess what? It's on the front page of the Fin Review this morning. It's a commitment from the federal government not to build data centres in the suburbs. So very much front of mind this morning, and we'll get into that subject right after the 5AA News.
00:51:14
Speaker 3: Knock down.
00:51:14
Speaker 5: Build two.
00:51:15
Speaker 3: With Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes. They do it all for you.
00:51:22
Speaker 5: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee.
00:51:24
Speaker 4: This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:51:29
Speaker 6: 22 minutes to wait. Big half hour ahead. Michael Packie in the nation's capital. We'll chat with him. We'll flash back in time with Michael Smith as well. But first, I want to head to the Adelaide Hills. The Tunkillo Data Centre fight is something we started the week talking about. We chatted with Magda Lippert at the time about the opposition that had been raised to this. We'd spoken to the state government who said, obviously, there's a lot of noise about this potential development, but we've received no official application for development. None of the approval processes have started. This is entirely theoretical at this point in time. So then there was a community meeting that was slated to happen last night that was cancelled on account of a credible bomb threat. Magda Lippert joins us again now. Magda, good morning to you.
00:52:09
Speaker 2: Hello, how are you?
00:52:10
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're well. More importantly, how are you? And what happened at the meeting last night? Because it still looked like a fair few people congregated at the site.
00:52:18
Speaker 2: Yes, I have to add a slight correction. Quantum DC were running a Q & A session.
00:52:24
Speaker 6: I see.
00:52:25
Speaker 2: A drop-in session. And we had our community discussion that was to follow. Many people turned out. So there were 600 people, including politicians from all levels and sectors involved. We had media. I brought my kids. We had community speakers there. It was really a very wonderful stand to see the community stand side by side with one another on the evening and discuss the issues.
00:52:54
Speaker 8: So did you all attend before knowing about the bomb threat or did you attend regardless of that?
00:53:01
Speaker 2: Before, during and after. After we had a sound guy who had offered a PA system, understanding that we would be really busy, so he actually went to the front door of the hall to offer Quantum DC the sound system around 2.30pm and they asked him what he was there for and he said, oh, I've just brought a PA for Magdalene and they slammed the door in his face. And so our sound guy went out onto the grass next to the hall and started setting up. And he was there the whole time. He didn't hear anything about a bomb threat, and apparently a note was left on the door.
00:53:42
Speaker 6: Okay. So your community component of this still happened afterwards? They binned their Q & A, though, the data people?
00:53:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we had expected to start our community meeting around 6.15pm, and.
00:54:02
Speaker 2: Before we could start that the Q & A session was canned. During that time between 4.30 and, I guess, 6pm, we had a huge number of people show up very peacefully, very respectfully, and they had genuine questions. We had over 490 questions that we'd collated from the community with the intention to ask them as a community together And we had many people show up with questions printed out and handwritten down on notes. Some of the elderly folk had written questions down with pen and paper that they'd brought, hoping to ask questions and raise their concerns. But no one was there from Quantum DC for them to be able to ask.
00:54:48
Speaker 9: Okay. So has it been rescheduled?
00:54:51
Speaker 8: Will you have another meeting that you know of?
00:54:54
Speaker 2: We're unsure about that. the Q & A, we did have a community discussion and at that discussion we spoke about our concerns. We tried to give our community the opportunity to ask as many questions as they needed to or raise their concerns. However, we were the only people there listening to it alongside, of course, the politicians that came along, the media that came along. It was a really good turnout and everyone stood side by side and waited and from the time that they showed up until the time we had intended to finish our community discussion, because that's what communities like ours do.
00:55:34
Speaker 6: We'll be following this story very closely, Magda, because it feels like you guys are the canary in the coal mine on this issue here in South Australia. Magda Lippert there on the Tunkillo Data Centre development. Elsewhere, we were expecting some developments maybe as soon as today. The FinReview reporting this morning that the Albanese government will ban... artificial intelligence data centres from being built near homes and recreational facilities. It's cited as being in response to massive developments that are happening in inner Sydney and Melbourne suburbs. The cynic in me, Stace, wonders whether this is a policy position that will see data centres given the okay so long as they're not in winnable labour seats. So you might see some regional... Such a cynic, Will. I wonder, Tunkillo, Rebecca Sharkey, is that going to be the kind of seat that sees data centres bad? I wonder. I'm on full alert just to see what ultimately gets considered to be near a suburb or a home or a recreational facility.
00:56:40
Speaker 8: If you take the politics of the electorates out of it and even just this reporting that these data centres won't be allowed in the suburbs, at the moment in the suburbs, the main two parties that have those seats are Labor and Liberal. And if you have a regional seat, you're probably Liberal, National, One Nation.
00:57:00
Speaker 6: One Nation.
00:57:02
Speaker 9: Not many Labor regional seats across the country.
00:57:04
Speaker 6: Correct.
00:57:04
Speaker 8: So even if you take the politics out of it, that might just be how it lands.
00:57:09
Speaker 6: That's true. Yeah. Funny that. 80-20 issue, all the polling tells us. 80% of people don't want a data centre near them. And it doesn't matter what your ideology is. Michael Packie is our 5AA Canberra correspondent and joins us on 5AA Breakfast. This is a new frontier in Australian politics, Pack, and I know we've got plenty to talk about in terms of the week that's just been, but this is something we're talking about with regard to something that's happening in South Australia. But these debates are happening everywhere around the country at the moment, aren't they?
00:57:37
Speaker 19: Yeah, they're happening everywhere around the country. In fact, they're happening down the road from where I live when I'm in Sydney. And there was meant to be a data centre that was meant to be built in that area and which is in the north of Sydney, and that data centre is now being scrapped. And that was obviously going to be in a suburban area, and there was a lot of protest about that in that area, about that data centre being built, because there's already a few data centres that have sprung up in the area and region in general. So I do think that obviously governments are growing sensitive to this issue, and where these data centres are actually built, how they'll operate... And I think we've also got to be realistic. They do feed into this perception that these data centres are designed to drive artificial intelligence, replace jobs potentially, that sort of thing. I think that all of those things feature in the argument. But from what we understand, and there's a story, as you mentioned, in the financial review this morning, that the government is planning to release draft legislation, draft rules before the end of this year. outlining exactly where these data centres can be built. And it seems that suburban areas, areas near schools and playgrounds are going to be off the agenda. Also addressing how much energy they use as well. And what I thought was interesting, there was this little bit in the article that says they'll be required to use renewable energy. And we know that the federal government has been saying for quite some time that if you build a data center, it's got to be run on renewable energy. But what I thought was interesting, they're saying they could have their power turned off if they don't comply. And to me, it sounds a bit strange. Would that mean that potentially these data centers, which are housing all of this data that they've collected, could potentially be lost if the government says, well, you're not using renewable energy, so we're going to turn off the power up? So look, it'd be interesting to see the way things work out here.
00:59:30
Speaker 9: Yeah, it will be.
00:59:31
Speaker 8: And you mentioned that they're not going to be, potentially not going to be allowed near schools and playgrounds.
00:59:38
Speaker 9: People in the regions would say, well, why.
00:59:39
Speaker 8: Would they be allowed near animals and livestock? And there's going to be so much debate about this.
00:59:45
Speaker 19: And I think the point that you both make here about, are they going to be out of areas where the two major parties hold seats and potentially moved out? be moved out into more outer suburban areas and into the regions that, you know, I think that, I don't think that that's cynical at all to suggest well.
01:00:03
Speaker 6: Yeah.
01:00:03
Speaker 15: Yeah.
01:00:04
Speaker 8: Well, it's kind of related to electorates and what's happening in electorates. The prime minister spent the week defending his $ 6 million grant to a golf club.
01:00:15
Speaker 9: In his electorate. And there was some like back and forth about what the money was for. Sewage turned out not to be. It's all messy.
01:00:22
Speaker 5: Yeah.
01:00:23
Speaker 19: It's so messy. It is so messy. But look, for the opposition, they've been really going hard on this whole issue of this $ 6 million that was given to a golf club in his electorate, the Marrickville Golf Club. The money was meant to be used to fix up the sewage system because sewage was leaking into the nearby Cooks River and so it was a health hazard. So that's what the money was meant to be used. And the Prime Minister said this repeatedly in Parliament when he was defending this grant. then this week it emerged when he was really pressed on it, oh, you know what? The money wasn't actually used for sewage works. It was used to repair other facilities at the club. Well, then I suppose the question was, well, why did you say it was? Why did you say that the money was being used for sewage works and then it wasn't? And then say that you did, then he said that eventually it emerged that the New South Wales government had paid to fix up these sewage works. So I think it just, really flows into this issue that the prime minister is starting to emerge for the prime minister, that he can't be trusted, that he regularly breaks promises. We saw that with changes to the capital gains tax and negative gearing before the election. He said these changes wouldn't happen. Then they did. then the opposition is highlighting this list of other broken promises that he's made and things that he said which didn't end up being true. One thing that they highlight, remember when he fell off a stage at the election campaign last year and then he continued to deny that he fell off that stage. So I think that this sort of stuff is really starting to eat at Albanese's integrity and you can actually see it. You can see it and I saw it this week. that it was a sitting week, the parliament's back. You can see that the opposition, the Labour MPs do appear to be in a bit of a funk, that they don't quite know how to get out of. They can't understand why One Nation is doing so well. The opposition does seem to be getting a bit of bite. Even though they've got a long way to go, they do seem to be getting a bit of bite. They did have a reasonably good week in holding the government to account on this $ 6 million grant and also holding the government to account on issues like inflation as well.
01:02:35
Speaker 8: Yeah.
01:02:37
Speaker 9: It's been interesting watching that.
01:02:39
Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely. It certainly gets the backdrop of the RBA and tightening of the belt and so forth. Pat, great to chat with you, mate. Thanks for your time this morning.
01:02:46
Speaker 19: No problem.
01:02:47
Speaker 6: It's good to speak to you. 5AA Canberra correspondent, Michael Packie.
01:02:51
Speaker 8: Just on something Packie said there, the government can't really see why One Nation support is increasing.
01:02:57
Speaker 9: And I think that is a huge part of the problem.
01:03:00
Speaker 6: Absolutely.
01:03:00
Speaker 9: They can't see it.
01:03:01
Speaker 8: And whether or not you agree with it, the rest of Australia can see why people are turning to other parties, not the majors, to support. The rest of the country can see it, but they can't see why.
01:03:11
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, that will be the sowing of their own electoral doom. 11 to 8, we were just talking about data centres. It feels like a relevant story in the context of that conversation. Alphabet, the company that owns Google, had the second worst day in share market history in the United States overnight.
01:03:28
Speaker 12: Why?
01:03:29
Speaker 13: Why?
01:03:30
Speaker 6: $ 500 billion worth of value dropped about 12% of the company in total value in large part because of some earnings information. So they fell short of where they're expected to be financially. And I think one of the interesting things to come out of that, in briefing investors, a senior alphabet executive made the point that online advertising is where they're falling short. The ads, when you go search things on Google, they didn't get as much revenue as they want. Do you know why?
01:04:00
Speaker 9: People aren't Googling.
01:04:01
Speaker 6: People are using the AI. Even the Google's own AI means people aren't clicking through as much as they used to. So they're cannibalizing their own profit base through AI at the moment. And so as such, 10% to 12%, the shares they lost in value over the course of the day, 500%. How about this for a statistic, too, in terms of informing shareholders where they've been spending money? They've spent or committed to spend more than $ 1 trillion worth of agreements to fund the infrastructure, energy, and leases required to run AI. $ 1 trillion to build data centers like the one in Tunkilo that we're talking about here that right now is actually undercutting their revenue stream. This is a very interesting time that we're living through at the moment. Nine minutes to wait. Let's check traffic. A beautiful noise. The Neil Diamond musical is bringing an exclusive performance to Rundle Mall this week.

Speaker 3: 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.
01:05:06
Speaker 5: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
01:05:12
Speaker 6: Five minutes to wait. Well, if all this talk about artificial intelligence, data centres and developments near you makes you want to go back in time, well, we've got the segment for you.
01:05:24
Speaker 5: It's time to flashback with Michael Smith.
01:05:28
Speaker 6: Sunday nights from six o'clock on Channel 7, Michael Smith's flashback segment. Michael, good morning to you.
01:05:34
Speaker 21: Good morning, Will and Stacey. I reckon there are a couple of ways you can tell it's almost November in Adelaide. You might have noticed that the jacarandas are starting to bloom, that purple haze across the suburbs. The other way to tell is that men start sporting additional facial hair. This year marks 23 years since Movember, as we know it, was officially launched. There's a couple of guys in Melbourne who came up with the idea. It's been incredibly successful, raised something like $ 1. 8 billion for men's health initiatives globally. It's spread to 21 countries. In fact, Adelaide's Moveb is going to be launched today when our friends at the SES, MFS and SES will get together for a shave down at MFS headquarters in Wakefield Street. But what I found curious going through the Seven News archive was that the idea of Movember actually came about here in Adelaide several years before the guys in Melbourne coined the phrase Movember. Two mates, Josh Bennett and Mike Giuradini, got together at the pub with the idea of growing a mo for a month for charity. And back then it wasn't for men's health initiatives, but for animals. Have a listen to a little of this report from 1999 from Jennifer Ashcroft.
01:06:49
Speaker 37: A few drinks at the local pub was all it took to get the ball rolling.
01:06:53
Speaker 28: We had the magnificent idea of growing moustache for a month.
01:06:57
Speaker 15: We were trying to think of a month that started with an M and March was too far away.
01:07:02
Speaker 13: Decided on Movember.
01:07:04
Speaker 37: In just a few weeks Movember's had a major growth spurt with more than 80 men from around Adelaide and interstate cutting it fine. The group is selling Movember t-shirts to raise money for the RSPCA or as they call it, growing whiskers for whiskers.
01:07:18
Speaker 9: Jennifer Ashcroft, 790 News.
01:07:20
Speaker 21: So there you go, whether it's for animals or men's health, a great idea. I don't know about doing it myself. Will, are you up for a growing MO?
01:07:29
Speaker 6: I'd need more than a month, Michael. That's the problem.
01:07:32
Speaker 21: Yes, I'm not a very, very hairy man, and we all worked with the very hirsuted Jonathan Edwards, so we'd never compete with his makeup.
01:07:38
Speaker 6: Well, it's Movember all year round for Jono. That's the thing. That's the thing. I remember when Movember started, it was a quaint thing. You didn't see many moustaches, so it always stood out. But now every young person wants to look like Cam Smith. They've all got mullets and moustaches. So now I think almost shaving the moustache would be the biggest statement.
01:07:55
Speaker 9: Can I just say on behalf of Greek women, we can take part as well.
01:07:58
Speaker 3: This isn't just a male thing.
01:08:02
Speaker 21: Only you can say that, Stacey Lee.
01:08:05
Speaker 6: Magnificent.
01:08:07
Speaker 21: There are some people who are mowing mows in their backyard. If they're like us, we'll have a challenge to the facial hair department. So you can... and still raise money for men's health if you can't grow one on your face.
01:08:18
Speaker 6: That's a great idea. That's a good initiative. Good on you, Michael. Thank you, Michael Smith. Can't believe it's been that long since Movember.
01:08:23
Speaker 32: Yeah, I know.
01:08:24
Speaker 6: It's been around. Seven News flashback segment. Catch it on Sunday night during the Seven News.
01:08:30
Speaker 19: All right.
01:08:31
Speaker 6: It's 90 seconds away from the 8 o'clock news. We might take a quick break. We will have Breaking 8 coming up, and then it's Giveaway Palooza. We've got Meat Tray Friday to give away spooky stories. If you've got one, still time. We've got Feedback Friday. We'll count down the top five of the week. That's all next week.
01:08:44
Speaker 36: You'll see.
01:08:46
Speaker 3: 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.
01:08:54
Speaker 4: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
01:09:01
Speaker 6: Eight after eight. Breaking eight coming up in just a moment. A lot of winners in the last hour of the week. On a Friday, Metro Friday, we have Feedback Friday coming up too. You can nominate your own winners, of course, at any time with the seven sensational South Australians over 70. This is a wonderful segment that Graeme Goodings does after... nine o'clock, but we need you to nominate terrific people. And today, Graeme's going to interview our first recipient, Clive Tonkin. Clive is coming on, who is sensational. So make sure you keep listening to Clive's story. Seven sensational South Australians over 70 are proudly presented by 5AA and AFM Wealth Strategy. Plan the retirement you want to live with independent advice that you can trust, afmwealthstrategy.com.au. And also, if you've got a spooky story for us, Chanel's meat tray is up for grabs. We'll be giving that away by nine o'clock. We might have some time to squeeze in a couple of spooky stories. We do? Yeah, plenty of time. All right, we'll do that as well. 8223 0000, the number.
01:09:59
Speaker 8: Earlier in the week, we broke the news of Adelaide City Council's decision to ban fossil fuel advertising in the CBD. So this was any form of advertising on council-owned spaces, bus stops.
01:10:15
Speaker 9: Banners, billboards. It's a big decision by the council.
01:10:19
Speaker 12: And I think maybe now it's kind of being realised how much of an impact this will have because rightly so at the time we were all pointing out the events that this would impact, the big ones.
01:10:35
Speaker 8: Being the BP Adelaide Grand Final and the Santos Tour Down Under. However, there's a document circulating online that It's got some figures in it. The document was sent to me late last night, so I haven't been able to check these figures, but I've checked it. The government says it's not their document. They've checked the figures, though, and it's correct.
01:10:54
Speaker 6: Okay. So they agree with the document.
01:10:57
Speaker 9: They agree with the document. It doesn't hurt their cause.
01:11:00
Speaker 6: No.
01:11:01
Speaker 9: But it's quite eye-opening. So as well as those two events in the.
01:11:06
Speaker 8: Adelaide CBD that will be impacted by this, there are five other huge events.
01:11:11
Speaker 9: The first one, Tasting Australia. where Santos is a partner.
01:11:15
Speaker 6: Yep.
01:11:15
Speaker 8: The Christmas pageant, the major partner is AGL. The cricket, the major partner is Origin Energy. Adelaide Fringe, Lumo Energy is a partner. And the Adelaide Equestrian Festival, where Atco is a partner, and Atco is a natural gas company. So this document outlines how much technology Ratepayer money from Adelaide City Council has gone into securing these events or supporting these events.
01:11:45
Speaker 9: $ 645, 000 ratepayers pay to support these events being in the city.
01:11:48
Speaker 13: Each year?
01:11:48
Speaker 9: Each year.
01:11:48
Speaker 17: $ 645, 000?
01:11:48
Speaker 32: Yep.
01:11:48
Speaker 6: And- Well, I mean, to keep them, that ratepayers are going to have to pay a hell of a lot more if we're starting to ban all the energy producers and energy companies from supporting these things.
01:12:05
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
01:12:06
Speaker 6: Goes to show to the– you said Santos a couple of times there. Having a big business headquartered in your city means they support local things like this.
01:12:14
Speaker 26: Mm-hmm.
01:12:15
Speaker 9: Mm-hmm.
01:12:16
Speaker 6: Shouldn't be treated as though they are out there hiring child soldiers to fight in a conflict, right? They're providing gas.
01:12:25
Speaker 10: Mm-hmm.
01:12:26
Speaker 6: So, by the way, I just want to say it was 5-4 the vote at City Council.
01:12:29
Speaker 9: It was 5-4.
01:12:30
Speaker 8: And so my understanding is the four who voted against it are considering their options in terms of attempting.
01:12:40
Speaker 9: To right this wrong.
01:12:43
Speaker 8: And I've also reached out to the government to see if they're doing anything about it. Because, I mean, I think we've seen in the past, particularly with the golf course and the VotoGP, the state government is not– does not fear going over the council, going over Adelaide City Council. And there are different legislative powers they could use to do that. There are different laws that they could use, including the Major Events Act that they used for the golf course.
01:13:10
Speaker 6: They should go the whole hog. Maybe if you work for Santos and live in the city, you shouldn't pay rates. Why accept rates from them? Why charge them for anything, the people that are associated with fossil fuels? Why don't anyone drive into the city?
01:13:24
Speaker 5: You don't.
01:13:24
Speaker 6: You don't accept any money from.
01:13:25
Speaker 8: Does that mean parking's free?
01:13:28
Speaker 6: Parking should be free. I mean, you know, ultimately, allowing people, giving the people facility to park is just really giving fodder to fossil fuel companies, is it not?
01:13:38
Speaker 8: Yeah, so I think everyone apart from the five councillors who voted for this can see.
01:13:44
Speaker 9: The logic in it going ahead.
01:13:45
Speaker 6: Oh, no, I'm sure it's very popular in their Facebook feeds.
01:13:47
Speaker 8: So there'll potentially be a move from within council, if not more moves, multiple moves, I mean. And the government is also looking into it. The government is looking at their options and they're taking advice on what can be done.
01:14:03
Speaker 6: Good. 13 minutes after 8, 04808 1395 is our number. You can call in on 8223 0000 like Mark in North Adelaide has. Mark, on the eve of Halloween, what's your spooky story for the meat tray?
01:14:20
Speaker 3: Well, um.
01:14:21
Speaker 1: A few spooky stories happened to me in that I worked in the Adelaide jail in the late 80s, 87, and we were talking about a prisoner, Frederick Carr, and you hear all the whistling, phantom whistling going between the walls and all that. And in those days, we used to listen to 580, Phil Collins, in the air tonight and did a patrol down in the death row there and I'm walking along, and out of nowhere, it scared the daylights out of me, an owl just come out of nowhere, and this was night shift, doing a patrol, and it went straight into the razor wire, got brought up in there, and that, we used to wear caps in those days, LA Joe was compulsory part of the uniform, but we were just talking about that, I think that car he was involved in, I think he, cut his wife's throat or something. He was one of the guys that was in that, buried in that death row. Yeah, right. It was in between the walls. That hell had come out of nowhere, and it was just so spooky. When you do night shift there, and you've got that wind howling in between the walls, and you could hear the doors. There's a lot of noises that you hear that was just... Too scary to kind of go out on your own down there. That's a good one. For that to happen, that was like a... And he got caught up in the razor wire on the walls and it was just the one in a million chance that it happened at that time and it come out of nowhere.
01:16:02
Speaker 6: Nature behaving oddly and it freaking humans out has been around forever.
01:16:08
Speaker 18: Yeah.
01:16:08
Speaker 6: In the start of Macbeth, Shakespeare writes about how you could get a sense there was... evil and spirits afoot because the horses began eating each other.
01:16:16
Speaker 9: Oh, yeah, that'd give it away.
01:16:18
Speaker 6: This idea that when nature starts acting weird, humans get on edge. We read the signs.
01:16:24
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's true.
01:16:24
Speaker 6: It didn't matter if it was hundreds of years ago or, in Mark's case, just a couple of decades ago. Let's go to Air. Graham, good morning.
01:16:32
Speaker 11: Well, how are you going?
01:16:33
Speaker 17: Good.
01:16:34
Speaker 11: Good, good. The house we had in Victoria in a town called Berwick, we used to watch these ghosts walking up and down our hallway. And all you'd see was the pale sort of a grey shape. And even our cat would scream and go crazy. And Ortsford would stand up in the hallway. Was that baby got a priest to come in? And he said that there was an Aboriginal burial ground not far away from where we were. But we used to watch, you know, the lights would go off and on, radios would come on. Yeah, they sort of hung around our son mainly down the back of the house. But we had friends come and stay one night. And they were sleeping in the back room. And we heard me mate screaming. And he said that when he opened his eyes, there was a shape kneeling down just staring at him. And he said to his wife, we're not staying here, we're going home.
01:17:27
Speaker 6: Fair enough.
01:17:27
Speaker 11: They had a fair drive to go back home to, but they said, we're not staying here, no way.
01:17:31
Speaker 6: When you get a priest involved, Graeme, a few people have said this this morning. Is it like, do you go into your local church and sort of say, hey, can you help me out? We've got a bit of a spooky situation. Or is there like a White Pages sort of, you know, E for exorcisms type thing you do?
01:17:46
Speaker 11: Oh, we knew a priest. We went to a few communions. We knew the priest in Berwick, and he came over and he said, yeah, you've certainly got something. So he spread stuff around the house with a spoon and did all that sort of stuff. And he said, there's certainly something here. I can feel it.
01:18:00
Speaker 20: So, yeah.
01:18:01
Speaker 6: I love the idea of the priest. What does it say? Yeah, you've definitely got something. A bit like, you know, a pest controller or a trader who says there's salt dam. Yeah, yeah, there's definitely a problem here. George in Port Wollonga, good morning.
01:18:12
Speaker 10: G'day, Will.
01:18:13
Speaker 25: G'day, Stacey.
01:18:15
Speaker 26: Both of you guys have got little girls. Now, we've got a little seven-year-old daughter and her middle name is Merle, M-E-R-L-E. We've got photos of past relatives sitting on a pot plant. And one day she was sitting in front of them. She goes, oh, that's Grandma Merle. It was a picture taken of her in the 20s. So we never called her Grandma Merle. We always called her Grandma Tee. So this came out of nowhere, and my wife asked her again, who's that? She goes, Grandma T.
01:18:48
Speaker 1: No.
01:18:49
Speaker 26: Grandma Merle. Grandma Merle. Sorry, yes. And that freaked us out completely. So be ready for it, people.
01:18:56
Speaker 1: No, no, no.
01:18:57
Speaker 6: We exchanged some stories off the top this morning, George, about our daughters seeing and saying terrifying things. Is it a little girls' thing, maybe?
01:19:04
Speaker 9: And this is going to sound so hippy-dippy.
01:19:07
Speaker 8: But I think kids are the closest you get to the afterlife or the before life, depending on how you.
01:19:13
Speaker 6: Look at the cycle of life. They definitely see things the way they look off it.
01:19:15
Speaker 9: And I think kids see it and kids say it.
01:19:18
Speaker 8: An adult might think something and not say it because they go, that's weird, I'm not saying that out loud.
01:19:23
Speaker 6: Yeah, kids have no filter. Kids have no filter. I don't mind that theory. That's good. Keep your spooky stories coming through. It might just win you a meat tray this morning. Thanks to Liam, Joanna and the team. My local butcher, Chanel's 62 Prospect Road. at Prospect. Let's check traffic. A beautiful noise.

Jules, you've got a spooky story for us.
01:20:32
Speaker 3: I do.
01:20:33
Speaker 29: I just wanted to touch base because I heard Stacey saying about her daughter having.
01:20:38
Speaker 28: An experience, but I don't think it's just daughters. My son, when he was three or four years old, used to talk to a friend in his room all the time.
01:20:48
Speaker 8: And one day I asked him.
01:20:51
Speaker 33: Who are you talking to?
01:20:53
Speaker 29: And he said, I'm talking to my other mummy.
01:20:56
Speaker 2: And at the time I was offended.
01:20:57
Speaker 30: Or I was like, I'm your mummy.
01:20:59
Speaker 28: But I spoke to a friend and she said, Well, maybe it's another mum from another time and we just don't know. And I thought about it and, yeah, it's a bit hissy-bitsy as.
01:21:10
Speaker 18: Well, but I don't want the person.
01:21:11
Speaker 15: To regard it.
01:21:13
Speaker 13: Oh, wow.
01:21:14
Speaker 6: I like that theory, Jules. That's nice because you would be in the first instance thinking, well, what do you want another mum for?
01:21:18
Speaker 9: Excuse me? I made you. I am your mother.
01:21:21
Speaker 6: A few other mums going back in the history.
01:21:24
Speaker 15: Yeah.
01:21:24
Speaker 6: I like that, Jules. You're in the running to win the meat train.
01:21:28
Speaker 9: Wow.
01:21:28
Speaker 6: 8223 0000. Spooky story. Kids are spooky. It's one thing. We have concluded this morning.
01:21:34
Speaker 8: Someone did ask, they didn't realise you were raising Wednesday goodings.
01:21:39
Speaker 20: Yes.
01:21:40
Speaker 6: We're pretty sure we are, actually, among other pop culture references that we won't get to.
01:21:45
Speaker 15: So....
01:21:48
Speaker 6: Newton's third law of motion is for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction. And so when the state government pinched the MotoGP, we knew there would be a response, Stace. We knew the Victorians would fire back. We knew they would try and strike back and get us where it hurt. Well, now it's been revealed what the retaliation plan is. They've pinched McLeod's daughters. So, McLeod's Daughters ran from 2001 to 2009, and I reckon a lot of people... You would have been a fan. You were right in the sweet spot for this, weren't you?
01:22:23
Speaker 21: Yeah, Molly.
01:22:24
Speaker 31: The name.
01:22:25
Speaker 8: We didn't actually name her after McLeod's Daughters, Molly, but a lot of people since have pointed it out.
01:22:30
Speaker 6: Would have put it in your head. The famous Kingsford Homestead near Gawler is a place where so many people who love the show go to see where it was filmed. Well, the Vicks have pinched it. They've chipped in $ 6 million to... Vic Screen's Victorian Production Fund. Well, not commercial and confidence, funnily enough. We know it was $ 6 million. I don't know why that is. Maybe we just didn't bother bidding. In any case, it's going to be filmed somewhere in Victoria, the reboot that's coming. So fans of the original show might be excited to know there's a reboot coming. But if you love that South Australian setting, it will now be set in regional Victoria.
01:23:07
Speaker 9: It's not the same. I was watching a.
01:23:09
Speaker 8: Apple TV series. We've just finished it called Last Scene.
01:23:14
Speaker 5: Right.
01:23:14
Speaker 9: And it's really good, speaking of spooky and kids.
01:23:18
Speaker 8: But they're driving through a regional town and they sort of go from the town and there's an escape and a police chase. And one of the cops comes into the room and says, we've spotted the car just outside Nara Court.
01:23:32
Speaker 6: Nah record. Oh, I love nah record.
01:23:35
Speaker 8: No, if you're going to base it in South Australia or use a South Australian town, you have to pronounce it right.
01:23:42
Speaker 9: We've seen them just outside nah record.
01:23:44
Speaker 6: Nah record.
01:23:45
Speaker 15: No.
01:23:46
Speaker 6: That's pretty ordinary for a scripted TV program. If you're in live, I'm not trying to give us too much cover, but if you're just reading something for the first time, breaking news and you're doing it live or it's just happened and no one, okay. But if it's scripted, you've got a chance to check.
01:23:59
Speaker 9: All this stuff. To check that.
01:24:01
Speaker 22: Yeah.
01:24:01
Speaker 6: Narra Court.
01:24:02
Speaker 9: I was highly offended.
01:24:03
Speaker 6: Makes it sound rather posh, though, doesn't it?
01:24:05
Speaker 9: Hello, Narra Court.
01:24:05
Speaker 6: He's going to nip down to Narra Court. John and Glenn Osmond, good morning.
01:24:09
Speaker 10: Morning, morning. How are you guys?
01:24:11
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're well, John. What's your spooky story?
01:24:13
Speaker 10: A long, long time ago when I was 14, we went back to Greece for a holiday. And in the village where my grandmother lived, my cousins, we rode a bike, our bikes down to the main road, which was probably a kilometre away from the village. And along the way, just before the end of the road, I saw this old lady. I said, oh, look at that poor old lady.
01:24:32
Speaker 21: She's walking.
01:24:34
Speaker 10: And my cousin said, she's not real. I said, what do you mean? She's a ghost. She'll disappear when she gets to the road. And I started laughing. As she got to the road, she just disappeared.
01:24:44
Speaker 26: Hmm.
01:24:45
Speaker 10: And that's the God's honest truth. She just vanished. And I asked my grandmother and she said they were walking down to the bus stop with her children. One of her children got hit by a car. So this woman's ghost continually walks down to the road Apparently to find her son.
01:25:03
Speaker 1: I don't know.
01:25:04
Speaker 10: That's what my grandmother said.
01:25:05
Speaker 25: Wow.
01:25:05
Speaker 10: And that's back in the 70s. It just spooked me out. Something really weird. I've never seen anything like that in my life.
01:25:11
Speaker 6: I just love the way that all the locals sort of just told you as a matter of fact.
01:25:14
Speaker 9: Yeah, no, she'll disappear.
01:25:15
Speaker 6: Don't worry, she'll disappear.
01:25:16
Speaker 9: Ignore her.
01:25:16
Speaker 6: She's harmless. I wouldn't pay her too much mind. She's an apparition. Thank you, John.
01:25:21
Speaker 9: Oh, my God.
01:25:22
Speaker 6: That was amazing. Lachlan says, with regards to McLeod's daughter's being pinched, very disappointing. I thought you were going to say the Vicks had stolen writer's week. It's all ours, that one, I think. Thank you for that. Thank you for that, Lachlan. 29 after eight. Visit Adelaide's best-kept secret, Nordic Design Furniture.

Speaker 3: 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.
01:25:59
Speaker 4: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee.
01:26:01
Speaker 5: This is 5AA Breakfast.
01:26:03
Speaker 6: 20 to 9, Feedback Friday in a moment. There's some spots available if you want to call in right now on 8223 0000. If you're playing for a Smeg Kettle or a Gramazio Foods meat pack, Gramazio Foods is remarkable. They've got the Sinopoli pack, SA's only celiac certified butcher, Burnside Village, Golden Grove Village and online at gramaziofoods.com.au and $ 50 Colac voucher as well. The award-winning Colac Hotel. You can get in now because this place is going to be hard to get into, I imagine, soon with all the awards they want, the hotel awards. You can get it to Premium Dining at Elliot's or Bootleg Social or, frankly, Colic's got something for everyone, so get in and try it. It is terrific. Lots of texts about Patrick Stewart have been coming in, and a few Trekkies have noted that there's been two sad passings now in Star Trek land. Patrick Stewart, of course, Jean-Luc Picard in Next Generation, and Walter Koenig died earlier in the week, who played the role of Pavel Chekhov in the original Star Trek series. He was brought in because the other really popular show at the time was The Monkees, the fictional band that ended up genuinely having hits. And The Monkees, so they wanted a character who looked like the zeitgeist at the time, the attractive young monkey style guy, because they thought this will broaden it. This is funny to say in retrospect. This will broaden out the interest in Star Trek to women.
01:27:27
Speaker 26: Oh, right.
01:27:27
Speaker 6: It didn't work. Chekhov became a much-loved character, but I don't think it... I mean, I don't think Star Trek's doing great numbers historically in young female category.
01:27:37
Speaker 9: Not something I've ever watched, I will admit.
01:27:39
Speaker 6: So, bad luck to Chekhov.
01:27:42
Speaker 8: Phil points out, two Star Trek actors have died this week. Don't things happen in threes?
01:27:47
Speaker 1: Spooky.
01:27:48
Speaker 6: If something happens to Shatner, I'm taking the day off. I'm not coming in to talk about it. All right.
01:27:52
Speaker 12: Now.
01:27:53
Speaker 6: We have spots available for Feedback Friday. You win a prize, four simple questions, no wrong answers, 8223 0000. Give us a call right now. If you've never done it, if you've thought about doing it, give us a call. It's totally painless. You don't have to be creative.
01:28:06
Speaker 9: We'll make it easy for you.
01:28:07
Speaker 6: Oh, my goodness. We'll make it easy.
01:28:09
Speaker 9: Smeg kettle up for grabs.
01:28:11
Speaker 5: Smeg.
01:28:11
Speaker 9: Gravazio Foods, $ 50 Colac voucher.
01:28:13
Speaker 6: Pub experience. Come on. Let's get a first-time feedback run. Everyone wins, by the way. Everyone wins. You can't say the wrong thing. Just make a noise. Let's go to Henley. Leo, you've got a spooky story for us.
01:28:24
Speaker 27: Oh, g'day.
01:28:25
Speaker 5: Yeah.
01:28:27
Speaker 7: My dad was a bomber pilot in World War II, and his mother woke up one night on the farm near Whitiakawi and said to my grandfather that Leo's standing at the end of the bed in his uniform and woke up my grandfather and he said, no, he's not. He said, yes, he is. He's standing right there. Anyway, just short of two weeks later, they got a telegram to say that my dad had been shot down into the Adriatic Sea.
01:28:54
Speaker 6: No.
01:28:56
Speaker 7: And the night after, that she woke up was the night that it happened.
01:28:59
Speaker 6: Oh, my goodness.
01:29:01
Speaker 5: Oh, wow.
01:29:01
Speaker 6: That's a great story. Thank you, Leo.
01:29:04
Speaker 9: Oh, it's spooky.
01:29:06
Speaker 6: There are, I mean, you know, be as sceptical as you like, but there is the common thread along a lot of these stories is a coincidence that's hard to explain between when the phenomenon, real or imagined, takes place, coinciding with something that definitely did happen. We've had a few stories that fit that sort of bill this morning, and they are freaky. They are.
01:29:30
Speaker 9: Feedback. Friday to day, so have your say.
01:29:36
Speaker 1: Feedback.
01:29:39
Speaker 6: Building or renovating your first choice, you should be visiting the Smeg show of indebted distributors. Taste the difference with Smeg. Kettle, Ramazio Foods, $ 50 Colac voucher. Shandell, Jim and Linda are all going to be winners. Let's get into it. Shandell in Salisbury Plains, good morning.
01:29:54
Speaker 33: Good morning, Will and Stacey.
01:29:55
Speaker 11: Happy Friday.
01:29:56
Speaker 6: Happy Friday. We sometimes get brainwaves from the producers' booth, and Patty and Jess have come up with this idea that the government should kill two birds with one stone. So in the process of sentencing bikies, community service should include chopping down trees. Do you think that would be a good idea, Shandell?
01:30:12
Speaker 33: Fantastic idea. I love that idea, Will.
01:30:17
Speaker 6: We'll give that a big tick.
01:30:17
Speaker 9: New form of community service.
01:30:19
Speaker 6: Yeah.
01:30:19
Speaker 9: Chop down some trees for the community.
01:30:22
Speaker 6: They're not going to chop themselves down. Shandell, have you ever stopped at a roadside stall? We talked with a roadside stall operator this week. People have been doing the wrong thing there. But have you ever stopped at one?
01:30:34
Speaker 33: Absolutely. There's one in Keith, just near the petrol station. He sells butternuts and mandarins. A little bit of cash money, I believe. So you can really bargain him down too. So lovely old gentleman.
01:30:51
Speaker 6: Oh, that sounds delicious. I bet those are good mandarins.
01:30:53
Speaker 8: Nothing better than eggs, just fresh eggs from a roadside stall.
01:30:58
Speaker 1: Yeah.
01:30:58
Speaker 9: No, no, that's supermarket.
01:30:59
Speaker 6: That's good.
01:31:00
Speaker 9: Get the ones direct from the farm.
01:31:02
Speaker 6: Cherdell, which Adelaide crow would you trust to teach your child something? They're going into the childcare business, the crows.
01:31:10
Speaker 33: Oh, Stacey, I'm a power supporter like you, however. I have great respect for Tex and Jordan Dawson, so.
01:31:19
Speaker 6: Okay.
01:31:20
Speaker 33: More than likely Tex because he has his three children.
01:31:24
Speaker 6: He knows kids, yeah.
01:31:25
Speaker 33: Yeah, they rate with me, both of those guys.
01:31:26
Speaker 13: Yeah.
01:31:27
Speaker 6: No, good answer, Shandell. It would have been totally appropriate if you just simply say none of them. That would have been fine too. Shandell, can you think of anywhere non-problematic that we could put a data centre? Is there anywhere we could put a data centre that won't upset someone?
01:31:41
Speaker 12: Melbourne.
01:31:43
Speaker 6: Shandell, that was brilliant.
01:31:44
Speaker 1: Perfect.
01:31:44
Speaker 6: Thank you. Magnificent. Let's go to Jim. Good morning, Jim.
01:31:48
Speaker 29: Morning, Will and Stacey.
01:31:49
Speaker 6: Jim, are you going to bother looking at the AFL fixture this year or are you going to wait until next year?
01:31:53
Speaker 10: No, I'm going to wait for never.
01:31:57
Speaker 9: Oh, not into it.
01:31:58
Speaker 6: You don't care?
01:31:58
Speaker 10: No, I've got mighty red legs.
01:32:01
Speaker 6: Oh, the Sanford. Well, you're still in celebration mode, Jim.
01:32:06
Speaker 25: Yes, still are.
01:32:08
Speaker 6: Do you care at all about Halloween, Jim?
01:32:11
Speaker 10: Not at all.
01:32:12
Speaker 6: Don't care about the AFL, don't care about Halloween. We're 0 for 2. Let's go number three. Do you care about Remembrance Day? There's going to be protests on– well, there was. They're going to change it now. But do you think November 11 should be quarantined from any protest action?
01:32:26
Speaker 13: Definitely.
01:32:27
Speaker 10: All right.
01:32:28
Speaker 6: We got one.
01:32:28
Speaker 9: Good answer.
01:32:29
Speaker 8: I didn't realise they're changing the day of the protest.
01:32:31
Speaker 6: Yeah.
01:32:32
Speaker 9: They've seen some sense.
01:32:33
Speaker 6: They've seen some sense.
01:32:34
Speaker 9: They've worked out the significance of the day.
01:32:36
Speaker 6: That's right. Someone's told– they Googled it. The AI told them.
01:32:40
Speaker 21: Wow.
01:32:40
Speaker 1: Cheers.
01:32:42
Speaker 6: Jim, Victoria's pitched McLeod's Daughters. If we somehow got it back or it went pear-shaped, or a bit like the Commonwealth Games, they decide it's cost too much money and they cancel it for six weeks out. Where in South Australia do you think we should shoot McLeod's Daughters?
01:32:58
Speaker 16: Back in the Barosta Valley.
01:32:59
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly.
01:33:00
Speaker 26: And freely.
01:33:01
Speaker 6: Makes sense. Thank you, Jim. You never know with Victoria. It's always a chance. Let's go to Heathfield. Linda, good morning.
01:33:07
Speaker 18: Oh, good morning.
01:33:08
Speaker 2: This is going to be funny.
01:33:11
Speaker 6: It's always funny, Linda.
01:33:12
Speaker 9: I like it already, Linda.
01:33:13
Speaker 6: It's always funny.
01:33:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay.
01:33:15
Speaker 6: Are you going to place a bet on the Melbourne Cup, Linda? Do you have a flutter?
01:33:21
Speaker 18: Yeah, I do. With my walking group, I only just put it on the chat the other day. Come on, girls, are we going to go and have a lunch and do a flutter yet?
01:33:29
Speaker 9: Oh, I love that.
01:33:30
Speaker 6: How do you pick a winner, Linda? Have you got a theory?
01:33:34
Speaker 18: Oh, no, it's just, you know, you pay your money and you put your hand in and hopefully.
01:33:38
Speaker 9: Pick up some winning numbers.
01:33:39
Speaker 18: Oh, sweet.
01:33:39
Speaker 6: You do the sweet.
01:33:40
Speaker 18: And I have been lucky, and the girls have been a bit jealous about that. But, yeah, I have been lucky.
01:33:45
Speaker 6: Oh, well, long may your luck continue, Linda.
01:33:48
Speaker 1: Thank you.
01:33:49
Speaker 6: Do you think we overreact to things like the earthquake we had earlier this week on Tuesday?
01:33:55
Speaker 18: Well, it was out far enough for me not to worry about, so... No, not really, no.
01:34:03
Speaker 6: Historically speaking, it was a big one. Not globally, it wasn't a big one, but South Australia, it was a pretty big one. 4.9 on the Richter scale. When do you normally do your Christmas shopping, Linda?
01:34:14
Speaker 31: Oh, guess what?
01:34:15
Speaker 18: I don't have grandchildren. My boys are growing up. I want them to buy me things, but I'm not buying them anything.
01:34:23
Speaker 6: So I'm just.
01:34:25
Speaker 18: Give them some food, maybe.
01:34:28
Speaker 6: Yeah. They'll probably appreciate the food, Linda. That's not a bad thing.
01:34:31
Speaker 9: Good call.
01:34:32
Speaker 6: That's fair enough. Late night shopping, of course. The hours have been announced. They got announced earlier this week.
01:34:36
Speaker 9: If you're Linda's sons, buy your mum something for Christmas.
01:34:39
Speaker 6: Buy your mum, buy Linda something, sons.
01:34:42
Speaker 18: Oh, good.
01:34:43
Speaker 31: Thank you.
01:34:45
Speaker 6: Get her something. We're going to get her a prize in a moment, but you come on, sons. Now, who deserves a mural in the city? Linda, Travis Head, Alex Carey got one earlier in the week. Who should we paint a mural to?
01:34:58
Speaker 11: Oh, mural.
01:35:00
Speaker 26: Oh, gosh. I'll see.
01:35:03
Speaker 22: It's too quick.
01:35:03
Speaker 18: I'd have to think about that one. Oh, any musician? Any other musician?
01:35:09
Speaker 6: Musician? Yeah, we've got the Hilltop Hoods have got a name after them. Paul Kelly has got a lane named after him.
01:35:15
Speaker 24: The Angels?
01:35:15
Speaker 15: Yeah.
01:35:16
Speaker 5: Yeah.
01:35:16
Speaker 6: CS is paying?
01:35:17
Speaker 18: Neil Diamond? What about a Neil Diamond mural?
01:35:19
Speaker 6: Oh, well, the musical's coming.
01:35:20
Speaker 9: The musical's here.
01:35:21
Speaker 6: What about a Neil Diamond mural in the city?
01:35:23
Speaker 9: I like that.
01:35:24
Speaker 33: Yeah.
01:35:25
Speaker 6: You know what, Linda? That would be good.
01:35:26
Speaker 36: That's brilliant.
01:35:27
Speaker 6: That was excellent. See? That wasn't scary at all.
01:35:29
Speaker 11: There you go.
01:35:31
Speaker 6: Well done. Phew. Hey, Linda, what would you like? A kettle? You want some meat?
01:35:35
Speaker 11: What do you want?
01:35:37
Speaker 5: Meat.
01:35:37
Speaker 6: All right. You've got the Gramazio food packs coming your way. Done. Who do we do for the kettle and colac?
01:35:43
Speaker 8: Go the kettle to Shandell and the colac to Jim.
01:35:46
Speaker 6: Magnificent work. Everyone's a winner. Feedback Friday. See? Linda just proved. Totally painless as well. All right. We're there. We'll check traffic. We'll take a quick break and we'll count down the top five in just a moment. And Neil Diamond, of course, is our traffic sponsor at the moment. So Linda will be stoked. A beautiful noise. The Neil Diamond musical is coming to Adelaide in May. Join the wait list now.
01:36:07
Speaker 3: Knock down.
01:36:08
Speaker 5: Build two.
01:36:08
Speaker 3: With Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes. They do it all for you.
01:36:15
Speaker 4: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee.
01:36:17
Speaker 5: This is 5AA Breakfast.
01:36:19
Speaker 6: 6 to 9. Time to give away the meat tray. Thanks to the great people at Chanel's. We give you the challenge. Just go to 62 Prospect Road at Prospect and plan to buy one thing. It is impossible.
01:36:29
Speaker 11: Yep.
01:36:30
Speaker 6: No. Good luck. Try to get in and out of that store within two minutes.
01:36:35
Speaker 8: And even if you have to go in for some fresh fruit and veg, you cannot go past the other sections.
01:36:42
Speaker 9: You can't go past the meat section. You've got to go through all of it.
01:36:45
Speaker 6: A magical thing happens. You pass through the doors trying to get one thing, and you walk out, and you've got two bags full of great stuff. It's brilliant. It's just beautiful. Liam, you're on the other team. My local butcher, Chanel, is 62 Prospect Road, Prospect. Who wins the meat race, Dave?
01:36:57
Speaker 8: Marge in Hampstead Gardens. She told us about her son scaring all the neighbours with a Freddy Krueger mask.
01:37:04
Speaker 13: Yes.
01:37:05
Speaker 6: It's an excellent spooky story. Congratulations to you, Marge. Meat tray coming your way. Top five time.
01:37:10
Speaker 5: It's been the top five of the week.
01:37:13
Speaker 6: The number five spot. In life, I've worked out a few things. You've got local government. Then above that, you've got state government. Then above that, you've got federal government. Then above that, you might have the UN and God. And then on top of that is the AFL. I actually didn't notice at first that he threw the UN in there. That's a controversial hierarchy.
01:37:33
Speaker 13: Yeah.
01:37:33
Speaker 9: The Premier's hierarchy. AFL's on top.
01:37:36
Speaker 6: Not even the UN thinks the UN's on that level. That was great. That was your stoush with the Premier about the sport announcement being on the same day as the ICAC evaluation announcement. Number four.
01:37:49
Speaker 3: I'm going to give it a crack.
01:37:53
Speaker 6: Now, the advertiser. This is fantastic. It's great. This RBA Melbourne Cup Day-inspired sweep where there's just wonderful names that have come through. And to be honest, though, I think our listeners have done better. Some of the great texts we've got. Vicky in Salisbury says, how about Lover Duck, written by Manus Labuschagne? And there's another terrific one here from Caesar, Alice Rolls, writing, nothing to see here. Let's take some calls. Rob and Unley, what's your horse name?
01:38:18
Speaker 34: Run, you bastard.
01:38:20
Speaker 6: We did horse nubs earlier in the week, inspired by that Tizer lift out. And got some very, very funny suggestions. Number three.
01:38:27
Speaker 21: Parents start talking about sex in front of their children.
01:38:30
Speaker 35: Their ears, ah, la, la, la.
01:38:31
Speaker 21: They don't want to hear a word, right?
01:38:33
Speaker 35: And I said, we're at that stage, you know, where we've got to spice things up a bit. We've got to start role play. And here's Ange, and I put a photo up in her grey dressing gown, just sitting there, not looking sexy at all. And I said, here she is trying to turn me on. in her koala outfit. Unfortunately, the role-playing was.
01:38:51
Speaker 21: That it's a koala with.
01:38:52
Speaker 35: Chlamydia, and I said, unfortunately, it's working.
01:38:54
Speaker 6: That was Timmy G's stand-up routine on the Saturday night. We got texts about that joke on the Monday morning, and because he's Tim Ginniver, he just told it again, which was terrific.
01:39:06
Speaker 9: If you ever want a TMI on Tim Ginniver's life.
01:39:09
Speaker 6: There you go. A few people texted us asking, asked Tim how he went with the koala on the weekend. Number two. Paddy just held up a picture of the big joint that Mike is talking about. That sculpture looks like a series of rollies. There's 11 of them.
01:39:23
Speaker 9: There's 11 of them.
01:39:24
Speaker 8: Well, is it a myth that South Australia is one of the only states where you're allowed to grow marijuana for personal use?
01:39:31
Speaker 6: I didn't know that did not cross the border, though. I thought that was a universally Australian thing.
01:39:35
Speaker 9: That was one of the big selling points for me moving here.
01:39:37
Speaker 6: Is that right? Yeah, we learned a bit something about Stacey and the 10-plant rule and how it transitioned- to one plant rule and then a no plant rule for criminality. Still an offence, but not a criminal offence. No.
01:39:51
Speaker 9: No, you get the green light for that one.
01:39:52
Speaker 6: So, Stace, it's been great having you here in South Australia. We'll be sad to lose you. Number one. I just had a couple of texts through in quick succession from people saying there's been a bit of an earth tremor, or so they think. Jan in Manham, what did you feel?
01:40:06
Speaker 31: Well, I was lying in bed and I was just going through my phone and the bed started to shake.
01:40:11
Speaker 25: And I thought, what the?
01:40:12
Speaker 6: Okay, so in Manham. What about in Lightsview, Kay? What did you feel?
01:40:15
Speaker 31: Yeah, well, I was laying on the phone and I thought, that's a little terrifying.
01:40:18
Speaker 17: Tiny, nothing to worry about.
01:40:21
Speaker 18: And I felt it again.
01:40:22
Speaker 6: All right, let's go to Callington. Daryl, what did you feel?
01:40:25
Speaker 23: My lad rang me.
01:40:25
Speaker 26: He said, oh, are you home?
01:40:27
Speaker 30: I said, no.
01:40:27
Speaker 23: He said it lasted for about 30 seconds.
01:40:30
Speaker 6: Can I tell you guys, thank you, Geoscience Australia have just updated their interactive map.
01:40:34
Speaker 5: Yeah.
01:40:34
Speaker 6: And there has been an earthquake. It's offshore in the Southern Ocean.
01:40:38
Speaker 9: Oh, look at that. That big red dot.
01:40:40
Speaker 6: The magnitude 4.9 at a depth of just 10 Ks, which is shallow. We started getting texts through immediately on Tuesday morning about the earthquake. And you can hear my first, the first one, what you think you felt. I was a little sceptical because we were looking at the Geoscience Australia website and there was nothing on there. But as is always the case with breaking news, our listeners are onto it first.
01:41:01
Speaker 9: You knew it first.
01:41:02
Speaker 6: And they called through immediately, which was terrific. We always appreciate that. And in the end, fairly big one, 4.9.
01:41:07
Speaker 26: Yep.
01:41:09
Speaker 6: Let's round things out this week with Fuel Watch. Don't get stuck on the side of the road. Get RAA road service. I think got a nomination in our 7 before 7 scariest things of 2026 was filling up your car. Still scary today. The United Melrose Park South Road, $ 2.
01:41:23
Speaker 5: 14. 9.
01:41:23
Speaker 6: The Mobile Shido Park Commercial Road, $ 2. 18. 5. And the cheapest diesel, the Mobile Blair Athol again, Prospect Road, $ 2. 62. 5. May you have a spooky Halloween weekend. We'll catch you Monday morning from 6. Good luck, everyone.
01:41:40
Speaker 5: This is going to be funny.
01:41:42
Speaker 6: Good luck on Saturday.
Speaker 1: I want the least weight, Mum.
00:00:01
Speaker 2: I want it.
00:00:04
Speaker 3: Knockdown, build two with Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes, they do it all for you.

We will get to the meat tray very shortly. Coming up on the program this morning, there was a shop fire in Nord. This is a serious story. We're going to chat with Bianca Wiley after 6.30 from Nine News. Also, The data centre community meeting that was meant to go ahead last night stopped because of a bomb threat. Magda Lippert, who we spoke to in the first instance when the Tung Kilo data centre first came to our attention, will join us again this morning. It looked like still people went and had a sort of meeting outside. So we'll get a sense of how that played out. But bizarre. Bizarre for a lot of reasons. We'll talk about it before seven o'clock. Then after seven this morning, we're going to chat with Liz McCaskill. She will have a Meat Tray Friday entry, I suspect. But we might also press her for some contact with the spirits to see if we can't draw some horse racing tips out of her because that's what that's what having a medium on the books is all about uh also michael packy in the nation's capital we're going to flash back in time with michael smith feedback friday top five of the week always a fun morning stacy lee good morning to you good morning will uh no one's going to be better positioned for the meat trade this morning than our good friend liz because it's halloween eve halloween eve halloween eve uh we thought it'd be a good opportunity to Swap some spooky stories. 8223 0000. Text us on 048 08 13 95. Spookiest thing that's happened to you. Something unexplained that you've seen.
00:02:02
Speaker 7: Just.
00:02:02
Speaker 6: Some weird ghost-like phenomenon. Call in, and I might win you a meat tray this morning. We will get Liz's entry after 7 o'clock. Halloween, big in your house, big in your area?
00:02:12
Speaker 8: No, it's big in our area, not in our house yet. I'm sure as Molly gets older, we'll get into it.
00:02:17
Speaker 9: But not really. We're the house on the street that doesn't have the decorations.
00:02:21
Speaker 6: It was never a thing in our household. No one ever did. I mean, it would be the same for you. It didn't exist. It feels like it existed. It only came into being a thing four or five years ago. It's always been on a weekday. I've never done it. My daughter now is four. And by the time she turned two and a half, she started talking about Halloween because it was always in the Miss Rachel that she'd watch or the American stuff. It sort of had seeped into the consciousness. So it's become huge in our area. So I'm actually going to be out walking around. tomorrow night for the first time to see it firsthand.
00:02:50
Speaker 9: Well, that in itself is pretty spooky.
00:02:51
Speaker 6: That's been terrifying for most of the other children.
00:02:53
Speaker 10: Yeah.
00:02:54
Speaker 9: Will Gooding's at night on the streets.
00:02:56
Speaker 6: What's he doing wandering around? We don't usually invite him. So looking forward to that. Looking forward to some spooky stories. Are you dressing up? No, I don't think so.
00:03:04
Speaker 9: Oh, come on.
00:03:05
Speaker 6: Maybe I'll just leave my– oh, no, it's a week. I was going to say I could leave the Channel 7 makeup on because that is terrifying. But it's a Saturday night, so that would be weird.
00:03:13
Speaker 8: You could do a bit of– White face paint, make yourself a zombie or?
00:03:17
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm often a zombie on a Saturday night, so that actually fits. I'll be there like a method actor. Spooky stories. Yeah.
00:03:26
Speaker 9: I think I believe in ghosts.
00:03:30
Speaker 6: Yeah.
00:03:30
Speaker 8: But I haven't experienced one. We have saged the houses that we've lived in.
00:03:39
Speaker 6: Right. We saged our studio with Liz famously because Crows players kept asking to be traded.
00:03:45
Speaker 9: And did it work?
00:03:46
Speaker 6: We stopped getting them in. I think most Crow supporters said to the program, it would be just better if you stopped having Crows players on. And we took that advice on board.
00:03:56
Speaker 9: The sage worked so well it kept the players.
00:03:58
Speaker 6: Out of the studio. Yeah, the sage sort of brought us to our senses.
00:03:59
Speaker 9: Yeah, fair, fair.
00:04:01
Speaker 8: No, we did it because the first house that Ben and I bought, we bought from a couple that were divorcing.
00:04:11
Speaker 6: Oh, you thought it might have.
00:04:12
Speaker 8: Been sort of relationship juju. Yeah, so we thought, oh, great bargain.
00:04:18
Speaker 11: Right.
00:04:18
Speaker 8: Yeah, but needed to do something to get the spirits out.
00:04:23
Speaker 6: The divorce spirits.
00:04:25
Speaker 9: And then it worked well.
00:04:26
Speaker 8: So when we sold that and bought our next home, we staged that one as well just because it seemed to work.
00:04:32
Speaker 6: And no suspicion of weirdness in the new home?
00:04:34
Speaker 8: I will say when I say we, it was just me and my mum because Ben's not into it.
00:04:38
Speaker 6: He's not a big sage guy.
00:04:39
Speaker 9: No, but the two Greek women in the house, saging and pink candles, and there's a whole thing.
00:04:45
Speaker 6: I think you and I have both recently been through the experience that young children are terrifying.
00:04:52
Speaker 9: Oh, yeah, they are, aren't they?
00:04:54
Speaker 6: Young kids, if you don't believe in ghosts, suddenly you believe when you have a child because they will communicate with an empty space.
00:05:01
Speaker 9: Yeah.
00:05:03
Speaker 6: Or they'll stay transfixed at something or wave at something. I'm sure Molly does this.
00:05:06
Speaker 8: Yes, Molly does exactly that. It'll just be her and I in a room together, and she'll just look up into the corner of the room and wave.
00:05:12
Speaker 9: And I'm like, who are you waving at? Is there someone with us? What's happening? What's going on? And she'll just smile and then look away.
00:05:19
Speaker 6: Well, the smile's nice at least.
00:05:20
Speaker 12: Well, is it though?
00:05:22
Speaker 6: Do you want to be inviting? Maybe it's a nice ghost.
00:05:24
Speaker 9: Casper.
00:05:25
Speaker 6: Could be Casper. Could be a relative come to meet Molly, you know, an ancestor.
00:05:29
Speaker 12: Maybe.
00:05:30
Speaker 6: Coming to say hi.
00:05:31
Speaker 9: I'd love it if they came through me first.
00:05:33
Speaker 6: Yeah.
00:05:33
Speaker 9: You know.
00:05:34
Speaker 6: No, just straight to Molly.
00:05:35
Speaker 9: Straight to the baby.
00:05:36
Speaker 6: Kids, it's scary. It's weird.
00:05:37
Speaker 9: Has Rosie done anything like that?
00:05:39
Speaker 6: Yeah. There's two things that immediately come to mind. Especially when she started talking and making full sentences, she would say things like, her face would suddenly go sad and she'd look at my wife and say, mum, the bad man's downstairs. And we'd be sitting upstairs in bed and we'd go- Sorry, what? And she'd go, yeah, he's here. And then she'd just go off and she'd be back to playing. And my wife would be absolutely terrified. The other thing she had was this terrifying little doll with green eyes. Tiny little mini doll. It wasn't quite a troll. It wasn't quite a baby, but she loved it for about two weeks and she'd walk around everywhere with it. But sometimes you'd hear it saying to her, don't be so mean to my mum and dad.
00:06:22
Speaker 13: Oh.
00:06:23
Speaker 6: And she'd be playing some game with it, but it would be the mean one. I can't tell you how many times I found that doll in weird places when I came down in the middle of the night and be up on a bench that she couldn't reach. I think I actually, I burnt it. I destroyed it.
00:06:36
Speaker 14: It's gone.
00:06:36
Speaker 6: I destroyed it with fire because it kept turning up in the most random places around the house. It was, yeah.
00:06:41
Speaker 9: Yeah, fair.
00:06:42
Speaker 6: No, that's fair. I was terrorised by Chucky when I was a child. Oh, yeah.
00:06:46
Speaker 9: Why did they do that to us?
00:06:48
Speaker 8: Do you remember when there was that phase where people just dressed up as clowns?
00:06:52
Speaker 6: Yeah, the clown... We spoke about it with Grant Stephens.
00:06:54
Speaker 15: Yeah.
00:06:55
Speaker 6: We had to get him on the radio to talk about the clown craze that was going on.
00:06:59
Speaker 9: Because people were just dressing up as clowns and jumping out in the middle of the street.
00:07:03
Speaker 6: You know what? If you saw a scary clown, that puts you in the running with a meat tray this morning. Your spooky stories, your scary occurrences. Let's go to Kaya in Ridleyton. Kaya, good morning.
00:07:12
Speaker 16: Yes, good morning. As well as Stacey. My story is that I once visited the Old Adelaide Jail and when I had finished the Old Adelaide Jail, I went through to the gift shop where you have to exit and when I was looking through the gift shop, a flask on the top shelf came flying past me and landed on the floor and I said to the person that worked there, did you see that? And she did, and she said it was an anniversary of the death of one of the inmates there.
00:07:49
Speaker 17: On that day.
00:07:49
Speaker 15: Oh.
00:07:50
Speaker 6: Oh.
00:07:51
Speaker 9: Did you buy it?
00:07:52
Speaker 17: Yeah.
00:07:53
Speaker 16: I didn't buy it, no, but it was, yeah, no one was near that flask at the time or near the shelf, and, yeah, it just came flying past me.
00:08:04
Speaker 6: It is Adelaide's most famous haunted site, isn't it?
00:08:07
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:08:07
Speaker 6: The jail?
00:08:08
Speaker 8: I did a charity event and got locked in the jail, and there were some weird things that happened. And I don't know if they were just trying to torment us because we were locked in a cell. But when I looked through the little peephole, it almost looked like you could see an outline of a person.
00:08:23
Speaker 9: And yeah, it was bizarre. It's a really weird place.
00:08:26
Speaker 6: The only other person I know that's done an event that got locked in there and something weird happened afterward was Chris McDermott, who got locked in there and he came out and he ran for the Legislative Council. Let's go to Sally in Hillcrest.
00:08:37
Speaker 9: That'll do it.
00:08:37
Speaker 6: Good morning, Sally.
00:08:39
Speaker 15: Good morning. Oh, I've got so many stories I could tell you from, yeah, starting at Adelaide, old Adelaide jail through to my daughter at the age of four went through a full possession.
00:08:51
Speaker 10: What?
00:08:53
Speaker 18: Sorry?
00:08:53
Speaker 15: Yeah, she pinned my mum up against a bookshelf by her throat and would just taunt and, oh, it was the scariest time. Lots of conversations with our pastor, lots of prayer. We got through that one.
00:09:08
Speaker 6: Did someone do an exorcism?
00:09:11
Speaker 15: Not quite, but lots of... She was seeing red eyes and so lots of prayer, lots of talking about how the red eyes can't hurt her, banishing it in the name of God, all that sort of thing. It was madness. It's the scariest I've seen.
00:09:25
Speaker 6: If Stacey bought your house, Sally, she's definitely saved you.
00:09:29
Speaker 15: I would do. And then my son has a habit of seeing... And when we moved into a house at Salisbury East, he saw a guy in there and explained what the guy looked like. And I had someone come out. Stacey might remember this. She used to be able to get, like, jamboree out, and they'd do nail parties.
00:09:48
Speaker 9: Oh, yeah.
00:09:48
Speaker 15: For, like, stick-on nails. The lady who came out, her grandparents used to own that house, and he described her granddad to a T. And we'd never met her or knew her. It just... yeah.
00:10:00
Speaker 9: Oh, that is spooky.
00:10:02
Speaker 6: Sally, great call. You're a strong contender for the meat tray this morning. Let's go to Hampstead Gardens. Marge, good morning.
00:10:08
Speaker 19: Oh, hi.
00:10:08
Speaker 20: Mine's what I do. When my son was about 10, he bought a Freddy Krueger rubber mask from the Royal Show and scared all the neighbours. He used to jump out after dark when I'd come down the street and he got up on the kitchen sink and was scaring all the kids next door.
00:10:28
Speaker 21: Oh, my.
00:10:28
Speaker 22: That was brilliant.
00:10:31
Speaker 20: I had to get rid of it in the end because he really frightened them.
00:10:35
Speaker 15: It was horrible.
00:10:36
Speaker 6: Marge's 10-year-old terrorising the street dressed up as Freddy Krueger. That is a quality Meat Tray Friday entry. Spooky stories, occurrences, or maybe teen terrors, whatever it might well be. Call us and you will be in the running to win the Meat Tray this Friday morning.
00:10:51
Speaker 5: Knock down. Build two.
00:10:53
Speaker 3: With Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes. They do it all for you.
00:11:00
Speaker 4: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:11:10
Speaker 6: Spooky pre-Halloween meat tray this morning. The meat tray itself is not particularly spooky. It's from Chanel. It's fantastic, actually. But the text line certainly is. Some great stories coming through and some callers already that are in the running, including Michael in Ridleyton. Morning, Michael.
00:11:25
Speaker 23: Yeah, hi.
00:11:26
Speaker 18: Hi.
00:11:27
Speaker 23: So I also went to the old Adelaide jail and the thing is I went past the old Elizabeth Wilcox area and into her, like around her cell and as I was coming home I felt a presence of her and Yeah, it felt like she was actually living inside me for a little while.
00:12:01
Speaker 6: What did that feel like, Michael, the presence?
00:12:07
Speaker 23: It felt so for real.
00:12:09
Speaker 24: It felt like I just wanted to cry all the time. And I actually had to ask it to leave. Yeah, I've never experienced anything like that before.
00:12:23
Speaker 25: It was freaky.
00:12:26
Speaker 6: That sounds terrifying, Michael. Well, we're glad you managed to get the spirit out of you, and now you're in the running to win a meat tray, which is excellent.
00:12:34
Speaker 9: Quite obliging, if you just have to say.
00:12:35
Speaker 6: Yeah, just say, come on. Come on, spirit. Move on. Move on. A bit like Ian's ghost.
00:12:43
Speaker 8: We have an old place built pre-1870, and we have a ghost we call Gary, who's not scary, just seems a bit restless.
00:12:50
Speaker 6: Yeah, just an irritable ghost.
00:12:51
Speaker 11: Yep.
00:12:52
Speaker 9: Michael's got a spooky story on the text line, though.
00:12:54
Speaker 6: Hi, guys.
00:12:55
Speaker 8: My brother told me once that he saw his girlfriend's deceased grandmother sitting on a chair in a corner of their home. The weird thing was his girlfriend saw her, too. They looked at each other in amazement, and when they looked back, the grandmother had disappeared.
00:13:10
Speaker 11: Oh. Yeah.
00:13:11
Speaker 6: Both saying it is weird.
00:13:12
Speaker 9: Yeah.
00:13:13
Speaker 6: All right. That's a good one for the X-File.
00:13:15
Speaker 8: A couple jokes about spirits as well. Peter says, I only believe in one spirit and it's.
00:13:21
Speaker 9: Usually on the rocks.
00:13:21
Speaker 6: Yeah, very good, Peter. Safe way to be.
00:13:23
Speaker 26: Yep.
00:13:24
Speaker 9: And Rob says, the flask flying past at Adelaide Jail. Flask went past?
00:13:30
Speaker 21: Spirits?
00:13:31
Speaker 9: I think I know the reason.
00:13:31
Speaker 6: 20.2 degrees outside at the moment. It's a very warm morning. In fact, let's double check. I think we're the warmest capital city in the country. Yeah, outside of Darwin, obviously. Yeah, 20.2 degrees is the warmest. The top today, 28, but there will be some showers developing one to seven millimetres of rain, according to the Bureau. So the rain today, despite the fact it's going to be warm, continues tomorrow. There's a change that will come through 23 tomorrow and a bit of a drizzle. Then a really wet Sunday, two to 10 millimetres now. For Sunday, that's been revised upward in a significant way. 26th expected top that day. Doesn't get cold at any point over the next week, just a bit drizzly. 25 on Monday with maybe a sprinkle of rain about the place. Similar on Tuesday, 23. Maybe some showers, something a bit more substantial on Wednesday. Zero to five millimetres and a top of 22. The first dry day, entirely dry, is Thursday of next week and that will reach a top of just 21 degrees. So the driest and coolest day is next Thursday. Tom Wren joins us in the 5AA Breakfast Studio with lots going on in the world of sport at the moment. Gliderol Garage Doors, over 50 years strong, all colours, all styles, all street appeal. Gliderol.com.au. Morning, Wren. Morning, Will.
00:14:43
Speaker 27: Morning, Stacey. Look, the AFL fixture, it's been sort of leaked in the last few days. It's finally out. Interesting. And not surprisingly, the Crows are going to be prime time sort of kings, seven Thursday and Friday night games. So a lot of prime time footy for them. Port on the flip side. have only got the one. So I guess not that surprising given where they finished respectively last season. The thing I always sort of look for is who do you play twice? And for the Crows, it's pretty difficult. Fremantle, who of course made the grand final. Geelong, who's I think historically their worst side to play against. They're just tough as a matchup. Melbourne, the showdown, of course, twice. Richmond, which is better, and the Bulldogs, so pretty tough double up games there for the Crows.
00:15:28
Speaker 6: You'd say, and look, you play the games obviously, but based on recent history, a away trip to Freo and an away trip to Geelong, that's two losses.
00:15:36
Speaker 18: Yep.
00:15:37
Speaker 6: That's just what history has told us recently. They're fantastic. Jeez, the start of the season is going to sort some things out. For a side that has question marks about how is it performing against the best, they get a fair taste of the best early, don't they? They do. Yeah.
00:15:49
Speaker 27: And we know how much pressure there is. I think with gone on record, and I don't think it's unfair to say Matthew Nix is under probably the most pressure in the comp along with Ross Lyon.
00:16:00
Speaker 6: I think it's those two.
00:16:01
Speaker 27: And so if they're one and four and struggling, the heat's going to come quick, really quick. So, yep, it's there for them. And the draw is so funny, isn't it? What can look like a really difficult draw can then, depending on injuries to other clubs, can open up and vice versa. It can change so quickly.
00:16:20
Speaker 6: There's a potential for that Bulldogs double up to be a really scary one, isn't there? Darcy comes back, Zach Butters, Jordan Butts addresses the Bulldogs' biggest need. They're a side to watch, I reckon, next year.
00:16:30
Speaker 27: Well, it seems like an age ago. But remember, I reckon about round four or five, they were the premiership favourites by a fair way. And then they got all of those injuries and everything just sort of went downhill from there. But a bit of pressure actually as well on Luke Beveridge, even though he's won that flag. That was 10 years ago now. So, yeah, if they can stay healthy, which has been a big if for a while, yeah, the Doggies are a pretty scary team.
00:16:53
Speaker 6: Proposition.
00:16:54
Speaker 27: Port, in terms of their double up games, it's actually more difficult than what I thought they'd get for a side that finished as low as they did. Carlton, Hawthorne, Melbourne, then they've got Gold Coast who I think can't.
00:17:06
Speaker 5: Be any worse than they were this year.
00:17:08
Speaker 6: They have to improve.
00:17:09
Speaker 27: And West Coast is probably the easiest one there. So they've got some big Victorian clubs here, which is good for Port, but yeah, it's a pretty difficult draw.
00:17:17
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's not a cupcake draw, is it? It's not. So we'll see how it goes.
00:17:21
Speaker 9: It is what it is.
00:17:21
Speaker 27: It's never equal.
00:17:22
Speaker 6: It's never fair.
00:17:23
Speaker 27: It can't be because you don't play every side once or twice. So we'll see how that goes. Test match is so well placed. Aussies on top. South Africa four for 140 in their second innings. Aussies with a hundred run lead in the first inning. So effectively the Proteas are four for 40. If they can get a lead, above 180, it starts to become nervous times for Australia. So it's, you know, and then batting fourth, which we elected to do that.
00:17:50
Speaker 6: You might have been, not wrong, just early on the toss criticism. If they come in and the pitch is an absolute.
00:17:55
Speaker 27: Yeah, and it starts to wear and, you know, you get that inconsistent bounce. But hopefully some early wickets early on day four will have the Australians ready to go. But a great test match, worthy of a series decider.
00:18:06
Speaker 6: All right, good stuff. Thanks, guys.
00:18:10
Speaker 3: Knock down.
00:18:11
Speaker 9: Build two.
00:18:12
Speaker 3: With Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes. They do it all for you.
00:18:18
Speaker 4: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:18:23
Speaker 6: 20 minutes to 7. Sad news in the entertainment world has just come through. The wonderful British actor Patrick Stewart has died at the age of 86. His publicist and family released... a statement that he died after what they describe as a brief and poignant journey with Alzheimer's disease and Lewy body dementia or Levy body dementia. I'm not sure how you say that one. He says he's been held in the warm embrace of family and friends, surrounded by live music, prayer, tears, laughter, and the kind of profound emotion that only he could inspire after a lifetime of devotion to us all. He was, there's a saying, it's not a saying, there's a bit of, sort of entertainment industry wisdom that goes, sometimes you need to put in the silliest roles the greatest of actors, or you can elevate something by something that's so weird and strange and silly, like the captain of the Enterprise after William Shatner. So the original Star Trek series comes out with the iconic, albeit flawed, performance of William Shatner as the captain. And then, so how do you follow that up? Do you do some other sort of swashbuckling, good-looking but kind of wooden actor thing? Or do you put in a Shakespearean stage veteran? And that's what they did. And it became this really iconic performance. And then he went on to be Charles Xavier in The X-Men. Again, impossible to cast role. You can't imagine it being being anyone else he had a wonderful hat and had very funny for people that have seen it um turn on extras the ricky gervais comedy where he took the mickey out of himself and basically played himself as a sort of puerile juvenile perfect playing himself he was taking the mickey out of himself but just a wonderful one of the most beautiful voices um I can think of. Just very sad and shocking. Feels like it came out of nowhere. But at 86 years of age.
00:20:11
Speaker 9: We both, when Jess said Patrick Stewart's died.
00:20:14
Speaker 6: I thought, no. He always looks like such a healthy guy.
00:20:17
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:20:18
Speaker 6: And whenever he spoke, I think because of the quality of his voice. And he always seemed so healthy and full of life. Had a great relationship with Ian McKellen as well. The other wonderful British actor, of course, Lord of the Rings fame. And also X-Men together. That's very sad news this morning.
00:20:32
Speaker 15: It is.
00:20:32
Speaker 6: It's just come out. All right, let's get local and head to Nord because Bianca Wiley for the day show is at the scene of a fire at Nord. No, I'm going to need some help, Patrick, because my computer won't let me click on it. I can't click on Bianca.
00:20:45
Speaker 5: Oh, no.
00:20:46
Speaker 6: So we can't go to Nord. We can't talk to Bianca. Thank you. No, we'll go there in a moment. Let's do some text. We'll get the meat tray, of course, thanks to the wonderful people at Chanel's to give away. We're asking you about spooky stories this morning.
00:20:57
Speaker 9: Spooky stories.
00:20:57
Speaker 8: John on the text line. Guys, growing up in an old homestead in Murray Bridge... We would hear footsteps up and down the hallway at night and I had to sleep with a blanket over my head as a kid as I'd always wake up to someone blowing in my face.
00:21:11
Speaker 9: I was so glad to move to Adelaide and have a good sleep.
00:21:15
Speaker 6: Well, that's scary and disturbing in equal measures. I think we've got Bianca now, so let's head to Nord. Bianca Wiley for The Today Show. Good morning to you. Just tell us, where are you and what's happened to this business?
00:21:26
Speaker 28: Good morning, Will and Stacey. Well, this is Beulah Road. It was around just after 4.30 actually when firefighters were called here and there were flames coming out the roof of this building. Then there was thick smoke coming out of it for quite some time after those flames had been extinguished. Just to give you a bit of idea as to how thick that smoke was, as we were driving to the scene, we were coming past Bartles Road and we could see that smoke and we wound down the window just to make sure that was the smoke. And yes, it indeed was. The smell was quite awful, actually. But the police are treating this fire as suspicious. I can also tell you that this facility appears to be a tobacco warehouse. It has been hit a number of times since April this year. Firefighters have told us they did have some difficulty getting into the room where the fire started. They had to use some help from their aerial appliance, also opening up the roller doors, and also the plastic sheeting, which is on the roof of the building, they've also told us has melted from that fire.
00:22:31
Speaker 9: Tobacco warehouse.
00:22:32
Speaker 6: Yeah, all the mystery of that one evaporated when we found out tobacco warehouse, didn't we? I guess the notable thing there is it's another tobacco-related fire, police treating it. It felt like we'd been through the height of that, And maybe we're coming out the other side of it a bit. But that one would suggest that that still very much is a live issue. Bianca, thank you. Bianca Wiley for today's show at that Nord Business Fire. You'll see those pictures on your news services tonight. We had a few people that have texted us. And I can't recall if we've actually addressed this directly or not in talking about how the illegal tobacco industry is changing. Because I think we might have identified the fact that there's fuel fires or these shops are getting shut. And they said a lot of it now is illegal. So sophisticated, it's all online.
00:23:16
Speaker 9: Oh, yeah.
00:23:17
Speaker 6: So they've managed to make that bricks-and-mortar business digital and harder to detect.
00:23:23
Speaker 8: Hence these warehouses now being targeted, not a shop front as such.
00:23:27
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly right. That's interesting. We'll follow that one over the course of the day. All right, let's head to Noolunga Downs. Matt, you've got a spooky story for us for the meat tray.
00:23:35
Speaker 10: How you going, mate?
00:23:36
Speaker 6: Good, Matt.
00:23:37
Speaker 29: Well, Mum's actually got the story, so I'll let her tell the story.
00:23:42
Speaker 6: All right, put your mum on.
00:23:44
Speaker 26: Good morning.
00:23:45
Speaker 6: Good morning.
00:23:46
Speaker 30: Hello, Matt's mum. This was back in 1961. My dad used to keep an old metal clock, the ringer ones with the bell, in a metal tin. During the middle of the night, they woke up hearing glass cracking, so they went all through the house looking for a window that had been cracked or something. They couldn't find anything. So my dad said, I wonder what time it is. He had a look at his clock, and the glass on the front of it had actually cracked at 11 o'clock.
00:24:14
Speaker 22: Later that day, they got.
00:24:16
Speaker 30: A telegram from Stranraer because they lived in Glasgow, and it was telling them to get back to Stranraer because my grandmother had had a stroke. So they packed us all up the next day and went over there, and at 11 o'clock that day, my grandmother passed away.
00:24:31
Speaker 9: At 11 o'clock?
00:24:33
Speaker 30: At 11 o'clock.
00:24:34
Speaker 19: Wow.
00:24:35
Speaker 30: That's what was cracked on the glass. My dad was a big non-believer, but after that, he got a bit spooky.
00:24:41
Speaker 6: Oh, I bet. Oh, boy.
00:24:43
Speaker 9: Oh, wow.
00:24:44
Speaker 6: Sorry, we didn't catch your name, Matt's mum.
00:24:46
Speaker 30: I'm Mary.
00:24:48
Speaker 6: Mary. Well, that is a remarkable story, Mary. Thank you for sharing that with us.
00:24:51
Speaker 9: Matt, before you go, did I see you last night?
00:24:55
Speaker 30: Pardon?
00:24:56
Speaker 9: Did I see Matt last night?
00:24:57
Speaker 8: I met Matt last night at the Hotel Panorama.
00:25:00
Speaker 9: I was wondering if it was him.
00:25:03
Speaker 26: That probably was not me.
00:25:04
Speaker 6: Okay, different Matt than mine.
00:25:06
Speaker 1: All good.
00:25:07
Speaker 25: I kind of wish it was.
00:25:09
Speaker 6: Hey, good to chat with you, Matt, and your mum, Mary. What an unbelievable story. Let's go to Salisbury Heights. Gayle, you've got a spooky story for us.
00:25:17
Speaker 22: Yeah, yeah.
00:25:19
Speaker 31: Many years ago, a friend of mine was going to Melbourne with his then-fiancé for a wedding, and about three or four days before that, I was I had a dream, I was woken up during the night actually, of them driving in a car and the car just rolling and rolling and it was really awful. And then I met my friend for lunch and said, look, you know, tried to tell him that, you know, I was having some sort of a premonition about something happening and, you know, trying to warn them. And I didn't really want to tell them, don't go to the wedding. But anyway, they ended up going. And on the way back, between Horsham and Stawell, they had an accident. His fiancé was driving, yeah, and his fiancé was killed in the accident.
00:26:08
Speaker 6: Oh, my goodness.
00:26:09
Speaker 31: Yeah, and also her little four-year-old boy. And I'll never forget, it was back in 1997, and it was just a tragedy to this day. And I'll never forget the dream. It was about three years. Nights before, the dream woke me up. It was just awful.
00:26:26
Speaker 11: Oh, Gail.
00:26:27
Speaker 31: Yeah, yeah. And it was just one of those things. How do you explain that? And it was, yeah, what you'd call a premonition. And just awful. And it's just like something was trying to tell me to warn them. But, yeah, I'll never forget it.
00:26:45
Speaker 19: Wow.
00:26:46
Speaker 9: Oh, my goodness.
00:26:47
Speaker 6: Crikey, Gail. That is beyond spooky.
00:26:49
Speaker 32: Yeah.
00:26:50
Speaker 9: Yeah.
00:26:53
Speaker 6: I think you gave all of Adelaide goosebumps just then, Gail. Thank you. We'll take more of your Meat Tray Friday calls shortly on your spooky stories. 8223 0000 or Texas on 04808 1395. It is time, however, for the weather. The weather, of course, a little different in case you missed yesterday's breaking news because the Bureau have forsaken us. Actually, they haven't.
00:27:16
Speaker 9: Will now does it in song and dance form.
00:27:19
Speaker 6: They've just moved to 720, but they're not going to be on it this time now, so we have a musical-themed weather. I don't know why. I just felt like the right thing to do.
00:27:27
Speaker 9: It just came over you.
00:27:29
Speaker 6: It did. 28 degrees is the expected top today, 20.2 outside at the moment. Showers developing over the course of the day, 1 to 7 millimetres of rain. The rain we do get will likely be a little bit later in the day as we head towards the afternoon and evening.
00:27:44
Speaker 13: And.
00:27:47
Speaker 6: There'll be some wind about the place as well, 20 to 30 K northeasterly that will tend northwest to northeasterly by the middle of the day. So small chance of a thunderstorm maybe to this afternoon. So be wary of that. In fact, that ended your thinking. But otherwise, that rain at 1 to 7 millimetres the early afternoon into the evening, the seas below a metre increasing to 1 to 1.5 metres over the course of the day. and the sunset tonight will be at about 7.43. Over the course of the days ahead, tomorrow we have a... Where's this hopelessly website? 23 degrees. You won't hear that from the Bureau. Zero to two millimetres expected in the gauge, and then Sunday... 26 for your weekend. 2 to 10 is going to be the wet day. 2 to 10 millimetres of rain on the Sunday.
00:28:40
Speaker 9: Casey Treloar, eat your heart out.
00:28:41
Speaker 6: How about that? You don't see Casey bagging her tools. But then she doesn't have a cracking soundtrack either, so you know.
00:28:48
Speaker 9: I've got to say, it is distracting.
00:28:50
Speaker 8: I didn't listen to the first 30 seconds of anything you said because I was just singing along.
00:28:54
Speaker 6: Well, that's good. That's good. But you can still hear the actual Bureau do it much better at 7.20, okay? Deal. So if you're too busy like Stacey clicking your heels along to the music, it's good news. Let's head to SAPOL. Senior Councillor Matt Brown without a soundtrack. Matt, what do you guys make of this fire at Nord that we just crossed to?
00:29:12
Speaker 34: Good morning, Lillian and Stacey. Just after 4.30am today, police and MFS crews were called to the property on Beulah Road after reports of a large fire. Now, fire crews are working to extinguish the blaze, which police believe was deliberately lit. And Beulah Road is closed in both directions between Sydenham Road and Fullerton Road. And please avoid the area if possible. But if you saw suspicious activity around the warehouse this morning, please call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
00:29:35
Speaker 21: All right.
00:29:36
Speaker 11: And.
00:29:40
Speaker 8: Safe e-bike riding traffic operations now happening in the southern suburbs?
00:29:44
Speaker 34: That's right, Stacey. Police will have an increased presence across the southern suburbs tomorrow during Halloween when most people will be walking around doing trick-or-treating, but some might choose to ride an e-bike as well. But as part of ongoing efforts to promote road safety within the southern suburbs, southern district officers will be supported by specialist police resources to provide a visible presence in areas commonly used by e-bike riders, motorists, pedestrians and families. So we're urging mums and dads to consider the critical role they play in ensuring young people ride safely and lawfully before buying an e-bike for your child to ride. Just make sure it complies with South Australian legislation and riders understand the road rules and where they can legally ride, of course, always wear a helmet and appropriate safety gear if needed as well. So where lawful grounds exist, police can issue fines, report offenders, seize the bikes and pursue further actions through the court. So we certainly don't want to go down that track. So just encouraging everyone to ride safely on their e-bikes tomorrow.
00:30:45
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a good message, Matt. And just lastly, you've released the image of someone who's a suspect at Davron Park. Break in.
00:30:53
Speaker 34: That's right, Will. This one happened last week about 10.10pm on Tuesday 20th October. The victim was asleep in his Ashton Road, Davron Park home when three men forced their way inside and assaulted him, causing serious injuries which required hospital treatment. A trio of suspects then fled the scene in company with a fourth offender. The suspects were all wearing dark clothing with hooded jumpers and balaclavas. The last scene running north on Ashton Road with one suspect heading east on Sewell Road. And police suspect this was not a random incident. After speaking with the victim, we've put together a computer-generated image which we've put on our Facebook page. So get on there and check it out. And if you do recognise the person or saw suspicious activity in the Ashton Road, Davron Park area last Tuesday, please call Crimestoppers on 1800 333 000. All right.
00:31:40
Speaker 6: Thank you, Matt. Senior Councillor Matt Brown there from Sapo. Let's check traffic for the first time this Friday morning. A beautiful noise. The Neil Diamond musical is coming to Adelaide in May. Join the waitlist now.
00:31:49
Speaker 3: 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.
00:31:57
Speaker 4: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:32:04
Speaker 6: Three minutes to seven. We have a top seven before seven in a moment. The top seven scariest things in 2026.
00:32:11
Speaker 15: Oh.

Speaker 9: David Pemberthy moving to Spain.
00:32:17
Speaker 6: We'll have to find out if it's on the list. That's coming up in a second. Firstly, let's take some calls on the mate tray. Your spooky stories. John Athelston's on the line. John, what have you got for us?
00:32:29
Speaker 17: Yes. In 2019, my wife died of pancreatic cancer. And a fortnight after that, I was at home with our little dog, and I... fell asleep on the lazy boy. And he was alongside me and everything. And I woke up with a woof.
00:32:58
Speaker 25: And I sat up and there was my wife in the corner.
00:33:03
Speaker 6: No.
00:33:05
Speaker 25: And she was dressed in a white dress. Beautiful, beautiful smile. And the next minute, The dog went, woof, and she disappeared. And I just sat there with my mouth open.
00:33:28
Speaker 17: I just couldn't say anything.
00:33:30
Speaker 6: Wow.
00:33:30
Speaker 9: Oh, John.
00:33:31
Speaker 6: Oh, John, and you can hear it in your voice. What a remarkable moment. She paid you a visit, John. Gee, listen, I'll tell you what the stories are. They're a level of spooky above what I was expecting.
00:33:43
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know.
00:33:44
Speaker 6: I've got to say, well played, everyone. People have seen some things out there in our audience. Keep the stories coming in. 8223 0000. Text us on 04808 1395. Shall we do our top seven for seven scariest things of 2026? Yeah, go on. All right, here we go.
00:34:00
Speaker 5: The top seven before seven.
00:34:02
Speaker 6: Number seven, fake spider webs. Scariest things in 2026.
00:34:06
Speaker 9: Apparently to local councils.
00:34:08
Speaker 6: You can't be too careful.
00:34:09
Speaker 9: Or birds.
00:34:10
Speaker 6: Number six, El Nino. El Nino. El Niño. Ben Jones sent us through a weather stat actually saying this is the 60th wettest year to date on record.
00:34:19
Speaker 9: Is that Niño or Niña? One's wet, one's dry?
00:34:23
Speaker 1: I don't know.
00:34:24
Speaker 6: This is Niño. You're the new weather girl. Patrick, who wrote the list, just said, don't look at me. He wrote the list.
00:34:30
Speaker 9: You're the new weatherman, Will.
00:34:31
Speaker 6: That's true. Number five, life without Taylor Walker. Scariest things. It's more scary in 2027. Number four, school zones. Genuinely terrifying.
00:34:40
Speaker 19: Oh, terrifying.
00:34:41
Speaker 6: Driving in the vicinity of a school zone.
00:34:43
Speaker 9: Can't work out what's happening.
00:34:44
Speaker 6: Have you noticed you go through a school zone and every car does a different speed?
00:34:48
Speaker 9: And you just look at each other like, I don't know.
00:34:49
Speaker 6: Yeah, everyone's like, I don't know. Good luck. Number three, data centres. We're going to talk more about that after seven o'clock. There was a meeting in the hills about that last night.
00:34:56
Speaker 9: Last night was scary.
00:34:57
Speaker 6: It was genuinely scary. It got called off because of a bomb threat. And number two, bikies and racing motorbikes. Just bikes everywhere. Motorised bikes all round have been scary in 2026. And the number one, fuel prices, the scariest thing of 2026, fuel prices. I would have put Michelle Bullock on there personally.
00:35:16
Speaker 9: Opening an electricity bill.
00:35:17
Speaker 6: Yeah, opening an electricity bill. If you've got nominations for the scariest thing of 2026, you can add them to the list by texting us on 04808 1390. It's 13.
00:35:28
Speaker 3: Knock down.
00:35:29
Speaker 5: Build two.
00:35:30
Speaker 3: With Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes. They do it all for you.
00:35:36
Speaker 4: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:35:42
Speaker 6: Seven after seven. Good morning to you. Welcome to a spooky Friday morning. If you're joining us for the first time, you missed some remarkable calls in that first hour. On Halloween's Eve, we're asking you about spooky stories that you've experienced in your life for the meat trade this morning. Thanks to Chanel as an hour listeners. I tell you what. have experienced and seen some spooky things. We then had a Top 7 Before 7 that featured the scariest things in 2026, and we've got some great suggestions of things we missed.
00:36:06
Speaker 9: We do. Ben says, how scary is federal government spending?
00:36:10
Speaker 6: Terrifying.
00:36:11
Speaker 9: Rita, scariest thing in 2026, artificial intelligence.
00:36:15
Speaker 6: Yeah, they had to make the list.
00:36:17
Speaker 9: Yeah, for a number of reasons.
00:36:19
Speaker 6: There's some great, I've been in the weeds of, US midterm season, and they're polling everything in America at the moment because the polling industry is so big. But there's some great stuff that I would apply to Australia, and a lot of it's about data centres. We'll talk more about it when we talk about the Tunkillo case here in Adelaide.
00:36:34
Speaker 15: Yes.
00:36:34
Speaker 6: But one of the things people were questioned on was, should the rate of AI development accelerate? Should it decelerate? Or you don't have an opinion? And accelerate was... 3% of people should slow down was in the mid-80s. The polling on data centres is as uniform a thing as you can ask human beings about in the Western world at the moment. Yeah. No one likes it.
00:37:00
Speaker 9: No, except governments.
00:37:02
Speaker 6: Except governments. Well, this is what's going to be interesting in the US next week, and it's going to be interesting here in Australia too.
00:37:08
Speaker 10: Yep.
00:37:08
Speaker 6: Because the case has not been made well to people. People hate these things. Hate them in a way that defies your politics.
00:37:15
Speaker 12: No.
00:37:15
Speaker 6: It doesn't matter whether you're a Green. It doesn't matter if you're a Conservative. It doesn't matter if you're, you know, a left suburbanite. People don't want to dance and meet them.
00:37:23
Speaker 15: Yep.
00:37:24
Speaker 9: Some more suggestions coming in.
00:37:26
Speaker 8: Peter in Craigmore says the scariest thing for 2026 has got to be Donald Trump.
00:37:31
Speaker 6: Should we play the audio of the Trump rally that happened?
00:37:34
Speaker 11: Oh, yeah, do it.
00:37:34
Speaker 9: Go on.
00:37:35
Speaker 6: It's happened overnight while you've been sleeping. Because obviously the midterms are coming up. So Donald Trump's travelling and Barack Obama's travelling around the country. They're all trying to drum up support in the Senate races they need to win and the And the other battles they're looking to win. And so there's these presidential election style rallies going on. And Fox News crossed to someone to get a sense of what the people thought at one of these rallies. So this is live on TV.
00:37:56
Speaker 35: We got Tom right here, kind enough to answer.
00:37:59
Speaker 5: A few questions. Tom, why are you here this morning?
00:38:02
Speaker 9: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to get involved.
00:38:07
Speaker 6: And go to South America for.
00:38:09
Speaker 12: The Jonestown Massacre, but this is as close as I'll.
00:38:11
Speaker 6: Ever get, so that's why I'm here.
00:38:12
Speaker 10: Wait, the Jonestown Massacre?
00:38:14
Speaker 17: That's right.
00:38:14
Speaker 10: There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front, man.
00:38:17
Speaker 25: All right.
00:38:18
Speaker 32: Maybe this is not a Trump supporter right now.
00:38:21
Speaker 5: It's okay.
00:38:22
Speaker 16: We'll find out.
00:38:22
Speaker 6: I appreciate that. So that person is scared of Donald Trump. Just know there's someone like you infiltrated that rally and got interviewed on Fox News Live on television.
00:38:32
Speaker 9: Were they in the rally?
00:38:34
Speaker 6: They were inside the building. Yeah, that person was inside the building.
00:38:37
Speaker 8: That's a lot of effort to go to for something you disagree with.
00:38:41
Speaker 6: Very, very funny. They thought they were speaking to a true believer.
00:38:45
Speaker 9: Marcus, politicians' pay rises and salaries are beyond scary. Matt, flying through the Middle East.
00:38:52
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a scary thing in 2026.
00:38:54
Speaker 29: Yep.
00:38:57
Speaker 8: Chalmers' grasp of economics and Bowen's grasp of the electricity market.
00:39:01
Speaker 9: Terrifying.
00:39:02
Speaker 6: Yeah. All good suggestions. We could have done a top 27 on that one. Keep them coming in. 0408 1395. A bit of sad news as well. We just learned in the last 30 minutes about Patrick Stewart passing away at the age of 86. Not about revenge.
00:39:16
Speaker 21: Liar!
00:39:16
Speaker 36: This is about saving the future of humanity!
00:39:19
Speaker 30: John, look, blow up the damn ship!
00:39:21
Speaker 6: No!
00:39:21
Speaker 12: No!
00:39:23
Speaker 5: No!
00:39:28
Speaker 12: I will not sacrifice.
00:39:30
Speaker 16: The enterprise.
00:39:32
Speaker 36: We've made too many compromises already too many retreats they invade our space and we fall back they assimilate entire worlds and we fall back not again the line must be drawn here this far no further and I will make them pay for what they've done.
00:39:55
Speaker 6: That's Patrick Stewart as Jean-Luc Picard the captain of the Enterprise Scott says guys we need Captain Picard died we need at least one Star Trek intro lead in a lot of people with wonderful memories of Patrick Stewart just a terrific actor remarkable voice and accent that Shakespearean trained British actor that I'm not sure they churn out anymore I don't know if they make them like Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart anymore and others of that ilk. But that was some sad news about the place this morning as well. The other thing we wanted to quickly follow up that came out of yesterday was this time yesterday, we were crossing live to a police shooting at Furl. And I think you made the observation at the time, Stacey, there'll be a commissioners inquiry into this. That is underway. However, the acting police commissioner, Linda Williams, did speak to the media yesterday and said this.
00:40:43
Speaker 32: I did view the body worn video of the incident today. I'm very concerned. comfortable with the practices and the procedures and how police responded to a very difficult and a very challenging situation that unfolded very fast.
00:40:58
Speaker 6: So her making a comment I think that clear would suggest that this is a pretty open and shut case of the police follow protocol. Obviously we'll see and all these things always get investigated to the fullest extent but the Commissioner at very least at this point is fully satisfied with what police did. The other nice little story that's not your red is an update on Cassie the chimp out of the Monato Zoo.
00:41:21
Speaker 13: It's been really fascinating for us watching the troop interactions with Cassie. They've been really intrigued from the moment she's got here and some really special interactions have come from our male chimpanzees in the group. It's really important at this stage in the process that we're just working on milestones.
00:41:38
Speaker 6: So Cassie is getting closer to being put into the troop. Of course she'd been rejected at Rockhampton Zoo. It was in Queensland anyway and been sent to Monado. So hopefully, hopefully she'll be embraced.
00:41:50
Speaker 9: They're playing through some mesh now. They're sticking sticks through.
00:41:53
Speaker 6: It seems positive.
00:41:54
Speaker 9: Interacting with each other.
00:41:55
Speaker 6: From what we know about primate interaction. It looks like they're all kind of getting along.
00:41:59
Speaker 9: Whatever it is, it's good news. And it put a smile on my face.
00:42:02
Speaker 11: Absolutely.
00:42:02
Speaker 8: And we hope it puts a smile on your face this morning that Cassie is slowly being integrated into the.
00:42:07
Speaker 9: I was about to say the pride, but that's lions, isn't it?
00:42:09
Speaker 6: The troop. The troop. The troop of her kind. And this will put a smile on your face. Steve on the text line says, The scariest moment of 2026 was when my wife found a receipt for a thousand dollar golf club that I'd forgotten to tell her about. Thank you for that, Steve.
00:42:22
Speaker 9: Forgotten.
00:42:23
Speaker 6: Yeah. I'm sure he did. Let's bring Liz McCaskill into this spooky conversation on this Friday morning on the eve of Halloween. Liz, good morning to you.
00:42:33
Speaker 22: Good morning, Will and Stacey and to your listeners.
00:42:35
Speaker 9: Hello, Liz, our resident psychic.
00:42:37
Speaker 6: Yes. Liz, we wanted to, we were originally going to get you on, well, and we still get some horse racing tips out of you for the weekend.
00:42:43
Speaker 23: Um, Okay.
00:42:45
Speaker 6: Because we love when you define the future for us. But we are talking spooky stories this morning. This is the world you inhabit and you live in. You must have seen some unexplained or spooky things in your time.
00:42:58
Speaker 22: Yeah, I have. I've seen things that will probably make your hair curl and your chest hairs fall off. But it's sort of like different places you go to and different feelings you have. Even at our station, 5AA, we've seen things there.
00:43:12
Speaker 6: Oh, do tell.
00:43:13
Speaker 20: What?
00:43:14
Speaker 22: Yeah, there's a man that walks around.
00:43:16
Speaker 6: I've seen some ghosts walking around here, but, you know.
00:43:19
Speaker 22: Yes, quite a few of us have seen him. There's a man that walks around. First of all, we thought it was Matthew Pantelis, but it was so early in the morning. But he's tall, he's dark, he carries a folder, and he comes from the hallway into the newsroom.
00:43:34
Speaker 6: Crikey.
00:43:35
Speaker 10: Yeah, and we go.
00:43:36
Speaker 22: Into the newsroom and there's no one there.
00:43:38
Speaker 6: The 5AA ghost.
00:43:41
Speaker 22: Yep, and in the toilets. We've been in the toilets, Angie and myself, and we've been in one toilet and the next two are empty and the next minute the toilet roll from the third toilet comes rolling out to the ground.
00:43:54
Speaker 9: No, that sounds like Angie playing a prank on you, Liz.
00:43:56
Speaker 6: No, it's not.
00:43:59
Speaker 22: She's behind me, holding me.
00:44:02
Speaker 6: No, I think Angie would be terrified of all this. Do you feel like because you're more attuned to the spirits, Liz, that you... observe more of this phenomena? It sort of comes to you a bit more?
00:44:13
Speaker 10: Oh, yeah, sure, yeah.
00:44:14
Speaker 35: That's sure, yeah.
00:44:16
Speaker 22: Even Nova has had experiences up there in the toilet area.
00:44:22
Speaker 9: Why in the toilets?
00:44:24
Speaker 17: I don't know.
00:44:24
Speaker 22: Maybe they think it's a good place to hide.
00:44:30
Speaker 6: Brings a whole new meaning to the secret scene, doesn't it, on the Nova floor?
00:44:33
Speaker 22: Well, that's exactly right.
00:44:34
Speaker 21: Stop.
00:44:39
Speaker 6: Imagine that competition. No, we love Nova. They're great. I'm a little jealous that they got a ghost as well, Liz. I mean, crikey. We surely wear the one he wants.
00:44:50
Speaker 9: Can't we have anything to ourselves?
00:44:51
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly right. I would have thought we'd have a mortgage on the ghosts in this town.
00:44:54
Speaker 22: Yeah, but our ghost is good looking.
00:44:57
Speaker 19: Better looking.
00:44:58
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's right.
00:44:58
Speaker 9: Of course.
00:44:59
Speaker 6: And going to the newsroom.
00:45:00
Speaker 9: More distinguished, yeah.
00:45:01
Speaker 10: It's tall and dark.
00:45:02
Speaker 6: Goes to the newsroom.
00:45:02
Speaker 22: And yes, it's well educated because it's.
00:45:04
Speaker 6: Going to the newsroom. This is hanging around the bathroom.
00:45:05
Speaker 22: This is just hanging around the toilet.
00:45:07
Speaker 21: Yeah.
00:45:08
Speaker 12: Okay.
00:45:09
Speaker 8: So, Liz, we understand that recently you've had a bit of luck with picking a winner in the races.
00:45:16
Speaker 22: Yeah, I have had pick winners in places. But normally I would just say I just go by whatever name stands out to me. And, like, a lot of people will go by colours, numbers, or, like, names themselves, or you get the professionals that will go by the weight, the track, the distances. And you've got to bear in mind they're all good horses to be in the race, so it could be anyone's chance on the day. But I've just had a little story. I'll tell you the one I'm choosing on Saturday for the Derby. The last couple of days I've had a cold shower. I've gone to get in the shower and the shower's been cold. Every tap in the house has worked, the hot water's worked, except for the shower. And then yesterday I was looking at the track for the Derby, like the And I got down to number 14 and it was cold shower. So that's the one I'm going.
00:46:13
Speaker 26: To go for.
00:46:14
Speaker 17: Okay.
00:46:14
Speaker 22: I didn't look any further.
00:46:15
Speaker 5: All right.
00:46:16
Speaker 22: And then Angie looked it up and she said it's trained by a gay water house.
00:46:21
Speaker 6: Oh, that's good.
00:46:22
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:46:23
Speaker 9: Now, the field for the Melbourne Cup hasn't been released yet.
00:46:29
Speaker 22: Yes, it hasn't been released.
00:46:30
Speaker 9: Can you give us any.
00:46:32
Speaker 6: Yeah, numbers or colours.
00:46:33
Speaker 9: Any numbers or colours or anything? Do you have any vibes, any early vibes?
00:46:38
Speaker 22: Well, don't go number 13. I would not be going for that one. I like number ones or 11, but I'd have to look at the field. I mean, it depends on who wins the derby on Saturday, what the field's going to be like. But I can always text you on Monday.
00:46:54
Speaker 6: Yeah, all right, do that. Sounds like you know your horse racing a bit, Liz. You're into the horses.
00:46:59
Speaker 22: Oh, no, my dad was, but I don't, yeah.
00:47:02
Speaker 6: Okay.
00:47:03
Speaker 22: I just go by, look, again, we're responsibly.
00:47:06
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, well said.
00:47:07
Speaker 34: Oh, yeah.
00:47:08
Speaker 6: Liz, that was magnificent. I always enjoy chatting with you, Liz. I didn't know, and now I've learnt something about this building. I look forward to bumping into the Pantelis-esque ghost that's wandering around.
00:47:18
Speaker 9: And I won't be going to the toilets on the Nova floor.
00:47:20
Speaker 22: That's exactly right, unless you're accompanied.
00:47:25
Speaker 6: Good stuff. Hey, Liz, we'll see you around the place.
00:47:27
Speaker 22: Have a good weekend, you both.
00:47:28
Speaker 6: The wonderful Liz McCaskill, our guest on 5AA Breakfast. Lots of great texts coming through. I really like this one from Chris. Running a business next door to a tobacco shop. Now that is scary.
00:47:43
Speaker 8: This person says, Sue, I love listening to Liz. She helped me out with strange happenings a few years back and described my father without ever having seen him and helped me deal with the situation.
00:47:53
Speaker 9: So there you go.
00:47:54
Speaker 6: Good stuff. She's a superstar, Liz. All right, 90 minutes after seven. We're going to check traffic. A beautiful noise, the Neil Diamond musicals bring an exclusive performance to Rundle Mall this Friday.
00:48:03
Speaker 3: 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.
00:48:11
Speaker 5: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee.
00:48:13
Speaker 4: This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:48:17
Speaker 6: 23 minutes after 7, the new home of the Weather Bureau on 5AA Breakfast. Chris Kent is on duty this morning. Chris, what do we have in store for Friday and the weekend?
00:48:27
Speaker 34: Yeah, g'day, guys.
00:48:28
Speaker 14: We've had a reasonably warm morning through Adelaide. Only a minimum of 19 degrees. Currently sitting around 21 now. There is some showers moving into the Spencer Gulf. The odd sort of, yeah, thunderstorm in there as well. They're heading south towards Kangaroo Island, but they are sort of, yeah, slowly moving to the east as well, so you can't expect some of that to arrive around Adelaide. during this afternoon. Showers and thunderstorms continuing throughout the afternoon. Well, the thunderstorm is probably more likely during the later afternoon into the evening time. But yeah, there is a risk of some noisy storms around this afternoon. So yeah, looking at maybe sort of around 5mm or so potentially the hills and might get up to around 10 so yeah a little bit of rainfall to come later this afternoon and into the evening.
00:49:30
Speaker 6: Plenty to look out for then a little bit later today. Chris, thank you. Chris Kent at the Weather Bureau. Let's take some calls for Mitro Friday, shall we? Your spooky stories. We heard from Liz McCaskill before the break. Dave and Albert is on the line. Dave, good morning.
00:49:42
Speaker 29: Good morning, team. Look, the story's so harrowing, I'm almost reluctant to relive it. Just over 12 months ago.
00:49:52
Speaker 29: Adelaide were two games clear on top of the table.
00:49:55
Speaker 6: They danced two home finals. Righto, finish your story with a straight face, Dave.
00:50:07
Speaker 26: I can tell you I was scared.
00:50:08
Speaker 29: I was really scared.
00:50:10
Speaker 12: And how are you feeling now that it's over, Dave?
00:50:16
Speaker 29: Look, I've got through it, but there's always the potential it might pop up again.
00:50:20
Speaker 21: Yeah.
00:50:20
Speaker 6: It's funny, I find the back end of that story more scary than the start of it. Thank you for that, Dave. Keep them coming in, 8223 0000. You can text us on 04808 1395. Your spooky stories for the meat tray. Coming up after 7.30, Magda Libet's going to join us. She was at the meeting last night against the Tangkilo data centre that got called off because of a bomb threat. A credible bomb threat was what people there were told. A lot really wanted the meeting to continue.
00:50:50
Speaker 12: Yeah.
00:50:51
Speaker 6: Such as the community angst about the data centre development there. So we'll talk about that. Also, we're going to head to the nation's capital where, guess what? It's on the front page of the Fin Review this morning. It's a commitment from the federal government not to build data centres in the suburbs. So very much front of mind this morning, and we'll get into that subject right after the 5AA News.
00:51:14
Speaker 3: Knock down.
00:51:14
Speaker 5: Build two.
00:51:15
Speaker 3: With Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes. They do it all for you.
00:51:22
Speaker 5: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee.
00:51:24
Speaker 4: This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:51:29
Speaker 6: 22 minutes to wait. Big half hour ahead. Michael Packie in the nation's capital. We'll chat with him. We'll flash back in time with Michael Smith as well. But first, I want to head to the Adelaide Hills. The Tunkillo Data Centre fight is something we started the week talking about. We chatted with Magda Lippert at the time about the opposition that had been raised to this. We'd spoken to the state government who said, obviously, there's a lot of noise about this potential development, but we've received no official application for development. None of the approval processes have started. This is entirely theoretical at this point in time. So then there was a community meeting that was slated to happen last night that was cancelled on account of a credible bomb threat. Magda Lippert joins us again now. Magda, good morning to you.
00:52:09
Speaker 2: Hello, how are you?
00:52:10
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're well. More importantly, how are you? And what happened at the meeting last night? Because it still looked like a fair few people congregated at the site.
00:52:18
Speaker 2: Yes, I have to add a slight correction. Quantum DC were running a Q & A session.
00:52:24
Speaker 6: I see.
00:52:25
Speaker 2: A drop-in session. And we had our community discussion that was to follow. Many people turned out. So there were 600 people, including politicians from all levels and sectors involved. We had media. I brought my kids. We had community speakers there. It was really a very wonderful stand to see the community stand side by side with one another on the evening and discuss the issues.
00:52:54
Speaker 8: So did you all attend before knowing about the bomb threat or did you attend regardless of that?
00:53:01
Speaker 2: Before, during and after. After we had a sound guy who had offered a PA system, understanding that we would be really busy, so he actually went to the front door of the hall to offer Quantum DC the sound system around 2.30pm and they asked him what he was there for and he said, oh, I've just brought a PA for Magdalene and they slammed the door in his face. And so our sound guy went out onto the grass next to the hall and started setting up. And he was there the whole time. He didn't hear anything about a bomb threat, and apparently a note was left on the door.
00:53:42
Speaker 6: Okay. So your community component of this still happened afterwards? They binned their Q & A, though, the data people?
00:53:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we had expected to start our community meeting around 6.15pm, and.
00:54:02
Speaker 2: Before we could start that the Q & A session was canned. During that time between 4.30 and, I guess, 6pm, we had a huge number of people show up very peacefully, very respectfully, and they had genuine questions. We had over 490 questions that we'd collated from the community with the intention to ask them as a community together And we had many people show up with questions printed out and handwritten down on notes. Some of the elderly folk had written questions down with pen and paper that they'd brought, hoping to ask questions and raise their concerns. But no one was there from Quantum DC for them to be able to ask.
00:54:48
Speaker 9: Okay. So has it been rescheduled?
00:54:51
Speaker 8: Will you have another meeting that you know of?
00:54:54
Speaker 2: We're unsure about that. the Q & A, we did have a community discussion and at that discussion we spoke about our concerns. We tried to give our community the opportunity to ask as many questions as they needed to or raise their concerns. However, we were the only people there listening to it alongside, of course, the politicians that came along, the media that came along. It was a really good turnout and everyone stood side by side and waited and from the time that they showed up until the time we had intended to finish our community discussion, because that's what communities like ours do.
00:55:34
Speaker 6: We'll be following this story very closely, Magda, because it feels like you guys are the canary in the coal mine on this issue here in South Australia. Magda Lippert there on the Tunkillo Data Centre development. Elsewhere, we were expecting some developments maybe as soon as today. The FinReview reporting this morning that the Albanese government will ban... artificial intelligence data centres from being built near homes and recreational facilities. It's cited as being in response to massive developments that are happening in inner Sydney and Melbourne suburbs. The cynic in me, Stace, wonders whether this is a policy position that will see data centres given the okay so long as they're not in winnable labour seats. So you might see some regional... Such a cynic, Will. I wonder, Tunkillo, Rebecca Sharkey, is that going to be the kind of seat that sees data centres bad? I wonder. I'm on full alert just to see what ultimately gets considered to be near a suburb or a home or a recreational facility.
00:56:40
Speaker 8: If you take the politics of the electorates out of it and even just this reporting that these data centres won't be allowed in the suburbs, at the moment in the suburbs, the main two parties that have those seats are Labor and Liberal. And if you have a regional seat, you're probably Liberal, National, One Nation.
00:57:00
Speaker 6: One Nation.
00:57:02
Speaker 9: Not many Labor regional seats across the country.
00:57:04
Speaker 6: Correct.
00:57:04
Speaker 8: So even if you take the politics out of it, that might just be how it lands.
00:57:09
Speaker 6: That's true. Yeah. Funny that. 80-20 issue, all the polling tells us. 80% of people don't want a data centre near them. And it doesn't matter what your ideology is. Michael Packie is our 5AA Canberra correspondent and joins us on 5AA Breakfast. This is a new frontier in Australian politics, Pack, and I know we've got plenty to talk about in terms of the week that's just been, but this is something we're talking about with regard to something that's happening in South Australia. But these debates are happening everywhere around the country at the moment, aren't they?
00:57:37
Speaker 19: Yeah, they're happening everywhere around the country. In fact, they're happening down the road from where I live when I'm in Sydney. And there was meant to be a data centre that was meant to be built in that area and which is in the north of Sydney, and that data centre is now being scrapped. And that was obviously going to be in a suburban area, and there was a lot of protest about that in that area, about that data centre being built, because there's already a few data centres that have sprung up in the area and region in general. So I do think that obviously governments are growing sensitive to this issue, and where these data centres are actually built, how they'll operate... And I think we've also got to be realistic. They do feed into this perception that these data centres are designed to drive artificial intelligence, replace jobs potentially, that sort of thing. I think that all of those things feature in the argument. But from what we understand, and there's a story, as you mentioned, in the financial review this morning, that the government is planning to release draft legislation, draft rules before the end of this year. outlining exactly where these data centres can be built. And it seems that suburban areas, areas near schools and playgrounds are going to be off the agenda. Also addressing how much energy they use as well. And what I thought was interesting, there was this little bit in the article that says they'll be required to use renewable energy. And we know that the federal government has been saying for quite some time that if you build a data center, it's got to be run on renewable energy. But what I thought was interesting, they're saying they could have their power turned off if they don't comply. And to me, it sounds a bit strange. Would that mean that potentially these data centers, which are housing all of this data that they've collected, could potentially be lost if the government says, well, you're not using renewable energy, so we're going to turn off the power up? So look, it'd be interesting to see the way things work out here.
00:59:30
Speaker 9: Yeah, it will be.
00:59:31
Speaker 8: And you mentioned that they're not going to be, potentially not going to be allowed near schools and playgrounds.
00:59:38
Speaker 9: People in the regions would say, well, why.
00:59:39
Speaker 8: Would they be allowed near animals and livestock? And there's going to be so much debate about this.
00:59:45
Speaker 19: And I think the point that you both make here about, are they going to be out of areas where the two major parties hold seats and potentially moved out? be moved out into more outer suburban areas and into the regions that, you know, I think that, I don't think that that's cynical at all to suggest well.
01:00:03
Speaker 6: Yeah.
01:00:03
Speaker 15: Yeah.
01:00:04
Speaker 8: Well, it's kind of related to electorates and what's happening in electorates. The prime minister spent the week defending his $ 6 million grant to a golf club.
01:00:15
Speaker 9: In his electorate. And there was some like back and forth about what the money was for. Sewage turned out not to be. It's all messy.
01:00:22
Speaker 5: Yeah.
01:00:23
Speaker 19: It's so messy. It is so messy. But look, for the opposition, they've been really going hard on this whole issue of this $ 6 million that was given to a golf club in his electorate, the Marrickville Golf Club. The money was meant to be used to fix up the sewage system because sewage was leaking into the nearby Cooks River and so it was a health hazard. So that's what the money was meant to be used. And the Prime Minister said this repeatedly in Parliament when he was defending this grant. then this week it emerged when he was really pressed on it, oh, you know what? The money wasn't actually used for sewage works. It was used to repair other facilities at the club. Well, then I suppose the question was, well, why did you say it was? Why did you say that the money was being used for sewage works and then it wasn't? And then say that you did, then he said that eventually it emerged that the New South Wales government had paid to fix up these sewage works. So I think it just, really flows into this issue that the prime minister is starting to emerge for the prime minister, that he can't be trusted, that he regularly breaks promises. We saw that with changes to the capital gains tax and negative gearing before the election. He said these changes wouldn't happen. Then they did. then the opposition is highlighting this list of other broken promises that he's made and things that he said which didn't end up being true. One thing that they highlight, remember when he fell off a stage at the election campaign last year and then he continued to deny that he fell off that stage. So I think that this sort of stuff is really starting to eat at Albanese's integrity and you can actually see it. You can see it and I saw it this week. that it was a sitting week, the parliament's back. You can see that the opposition, the Labour MPs do appear to be in a bit of a funk, that they don't quite know how to get out of. They can't understand why One Nation is doing so well. The opposition does seem to be getting a bit of bite. Even though they've got a long way to go, they do seem to be getting a bit of bite. They did have a reasonably good week in holding the government to account on this $ 6 million grant and also holding the government to account on issues like inflation as well.
01:02:35
Speaker 8: Yeah.
01:02:37
Speaker 9: It's been interesting watching that.
01:02:39
Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely. It certainly gets the backdrop of the RBA and tightening of the belt and so forth. Pat, great to chat with you, mate. Thanks for your time this morning.
01:02:46
Speaker 19: No problem.
01:02:47
Speaker 6: It's good to speak to you. 5AA Canberra correspondent, Michael Packie.
01:02:51
Speaker 8: Just on something Packie said there, the government can't really see why One Nation support is increasing.
01:02:57
Speaker 9: And I think that is a huge part of the problem.
01:03:00
Speaker 6: Absolutely.
01:03:00
Speaker 9: They can't see it.
01:03:01
Speaker 8: And whether or not you agree with it, the rest of Australia can see why people are turning to other parties, not the majors, to support. The rest of the country can see it, but they can't see why.
01:03:11
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, that will be the sowing of their own electoral doom. 11 to 8, we were just talking about data centres. It feels like a relevant story in the context of that conversation. Alphabet, the company that owns Google, had the second worst day in share market history in the United States overnight.
01:03:28
Speaker 12: Why?
01:03:29
Speaker 13: Why?
01:03:30
Speaker 6: $ 500 billion worth of value dropped about 12% of the company in total value in large part because of some earnings information. So they fell short of where they're expected to be financially. And I think one of the interesting things to come out of that, in briefing investors, a senior alphabet executive made the point that online advertising is where they're falling short. The ads, when you go search things on Google, they didn't get as much revenue as they want. Do you know why?
01:04:00
Speaker 9: People aren't Googling.
01:04:01
Speaker 6: People are using the AI. Even the Google's own AI means people aren't clicking through as much as they used to. So they're cannibalizing their own profit base through AI at the moment. And so as such, 10% to 12%, the shares they lost in value over the course of the day, 500%. How about this for a statistic, too, in terms of informing shareholders where they've been spending money? They've spent or committed to spend more than $ 1 trillion worth of agreements to fund the infrastructure, energy, and leases required to run AI. $ 1 trillion to build data centers like the one in Tunkilo that we're talking about here that right now is actually undercutting their revenue stream. This is a very interesting time that we're living through at the moment. Nine minutes to wait. Let's check traffic. A beautiful noise. The Neil Diamond musical is bringing an exclusive performance to Rundle Mall this week.

Speaker 3: 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.
01:05:06
Speaker 5: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
01:05:12
Speaker 6: Five minutes to wait. Well, if all this talk about artificial intelligence, data centres and developments near you makes you want to go back in time, well, we've got the segment for you.
01:05:24
Speaker 5: It's time to flashback with Michael Smith.
01:05:28
Speaker 6: Sunday nights from six o'clock on Channel 7, Michael Smith's flashback segment. Michael, good morning to you.
01:05:34
Speaker 21: Good morning, Will and Stacey. I reckon there are a couple of ways you can tell it's almost November in Adelaide. You might have noticed that the jacarandas are starting to bloom, that purple haze across the suburbs. The other way to tell is that men start sporting additional facial hair. This year marks 23 years since Movember, as we know it, was officially launched. There's a couple of guys in Melbourne who came up with the idea. It's been incredibly successful, raised something like $ 1. 8 billion for men's health initiatives globally. It's spread to 21 countries. In fact, Adelaide's Moveb is going to be launched today when our friends at the SES, MFS and SES will get together for a shave down at MFS headquarters in Wakefield Street. But what I found curious going through the Seven News archive was that the idea of Movember actually came about here in Adelaide several years before the guys in Melbourne coined the phrase Movember. Two mates, Josh Bennett and Mike Giuradini, got together at the pub with the idea of growing a mo for a month for charity. And back then it wasn't for men's health initiatives, but for animals. Have a listen to a little of this report from 1999 from Jennifer Ashcroft.
01:06:49
Speaker 37: A few drinks at the local pub was all it took to get the ball rolling.
01:06:53
Speaker 28: We had the magnificent idea of growing moustache for a month.
01:06:57
Speaker 15: We were trying to think of a month that started with an M and March was too far away.
01:07:02
Speaker 13: Decided on Movember.
01:07:04
Speaker 37: In just a few weeks Movember's had a major growth spurt with more than 80 men from around Adelaide and interstate cutting it fine. The group is selling Movember t-shirts to raise money for the RSPCA or as they call it, growing whiskers for whiskers.
01:07:18
Speaker 9: Jennifer Ashcroft, 790 News.
01:07:20
Speaker 21: So there you go, whether it's for animals or men's health, a great idea. I don't know about doing it myself. Will, are you up for a growing MO?
01:07:29
Speaker 6: I'd need more than a month, Michael. That's the problem.
01:07:32
Speaker 21: Yes, I'm not a very, very hairy man, and we all worked with the very hirsuted Jonathan Edwards, so we'd never compete with his makeup.
01:07:38
Speaker 6: Well, it's Movember all year round for Jono. That's the thing. That's the thing. I remember when Movember started, it was a quaint thing. You didn't see many moustaches, so it always stood out. But now every young person wants to look like Cam Smith. They've all got mullets and moustaches. So now I think almost shaving the moustache would be the biggest statement.
01:07:55
Speaker 9: Can I just say on behalf of Greek women, we can take part as well.
01:07:58
Speaker 3: This isn't just a male thing.
01:08:02
Speaker 21: Only you can say that, Stacey Lee.
01:08:05
Speaker 6: Magnificent.
01:08:07
Speaker 21: There are some people who are mowing mows in their backyard. If they're like us, we'll have a challenge to the facial hair department. So you can... and still raise money for men's health if you can't grow one on your face.
01:08:18
Speaker 6: That's a great idea. That's a good initiative. Good on you, Michael. Thank you, Michael Smith. Can't believe it's been that long since Movember.
01:08:23
Speaker 32: Yeah, I know.
01:08:24
Speaker 6: It's been around. Seven News flashback segment. Catch it on Sunday night during the Seven News.
01:08:30
Speaker 19: All right.
01:08:31
Speaker 6: It's 90 seconds away from the 8 o'clock news. We might take a quick break. We will have Breaking 8 coming up, and then it's Giveaway Palooza. We've got Meat Tray Friday to give away spooky stories. If you've got one, still time. We've got Feedback Friday. We'll count down the top five of the week. That's all next week.
01:08:44
Speaker 36: You'll see.
01:08:46
Speaker 3: 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.
01:08:54
Speaker 4: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
01:09:01
Speaker 6: Eight after eight. Breaking eight coming up in just a moment. A lot of winners in the last hour of the week. On a Friday, Metro Friday, we have Feedback Friday coming up too. You can nominate your own winners, of course, at any time with the seven sensational South Australians over 70. This is a wonderful segment that Graeme Goodings does after... nine o'clock, but we need you to nominate terrific people. And today, Graeme's going to interview our first recipient, Clive Tonkin. Clive is coming on, who is sensational. So make sure you keep listening to Clive's story. Seven sensational South Australians over 70 are proudly presented by 5AA and AFM Wealth Strategy. Plan the retirement you want to live with independent advice that you can trust, afmwealthstrategy.com.au. And also, if you've got a spooky story for us, Chanel's meat tray is up for grabs. We'll be giving that away by nine o'clock. We might have some time to squeeze in a couple of spooky stories. We do? Yeah, plenty of time. All right, we'll do that as well. 8223 0000, the number.
01:09:59
Speaker 8: Earlier in the week, we broke the news of Adelaide City Council's decision to ban fossil fuel advertising in the CBD. So this was any form of advertising on council-owned spaces, bus stops.
01:10:15
Speaker 9: Banners, billboards. It's a big decision by the council.
01:10:19
Speaker 12: And I think maybe now it's kind of being realised how much of an impact this will have because rightly so at the time we were all pointing out the events that this would impact, the big ones.
01:10:35
Speaker 8: Being the BP Adelaide Grand Final and the Santos Tour Down Under. However, there's a document circulating online that It's got some figures in it. The document was sent to me late last night, so I haven't been able to check these figures, but I've checked it. The government says it's not their document. They've checked the figures, though, and it's correct.
01:10:54
Speaker 6: Okay. So they agree with the document.
01:10:57
Speaker 9: They agree with the document. It doesn't hurt their cause.
01:11:00
Speaker 6: No.
01:11:01
Speaker 9: But it's quite eye-opening. So as well as those two events in the.
01:11:06
Speaker 8: Adelaide CBD that will be impacted by this, there are five other huge events.
01:11:11
Speaker 9: The first one, Tasting Australia. where Santos is a partner.
01:11:15
Speaker 6: Yep.
01:11:15
Speaker 8: The Christmas pageant, the major partner is AGL. The cricket, the major partner is Origin Energy. Adelaide Fringe, Lumo Energy is a partner. And the Adelaide Equestrian Festival, where Atco is a partner, and Atco is a natural gas company. So this document outlines how much technology Ratepayer money from Adelaide City Council has gone into securing these events or supporting these events.
01:11:45
Speaker 9: $ 645, 000 ratepayers pay to support these events being in the city.
01:11:48
Speaker 13: Each year?
01:11:48
Speaker 9: Each year.
01:11:48
Speaker 17: $ 645, 000?
01:11:48
Speaker 32: Yep.
01:11:48
Speaker 6: And- Well, I mean, to keep them, that ratepayers are going to have to pay a hell of a lot more if we're starting to ban all the energy producers and energy companies from supporting these things.
01:12:05
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
01:12:06
Speaker 6: Goes to show to the– you said Santos a couple of times there. Having a big business headquartered in your city means they support local things like this.
01:12:14
Speaker 26: Mm-hmm.
01:12:15
Speaker 9: Mm-hmm.
01:12:16
Speaker 6: Shouldn't be treated as though they are out there hiring child soldiers to fight in a conflict, right? They're providing gas.
01:12:25
Speaker 10: Mm-hmm.
01:12:26
Speaker 6: So, by the way, I just want to say it was 5-4 the vote at City Council.
01:12:29
Speaker 9: It was 5-4.
01:12:30
Speaker 8: And so my understanding is the four who voted against it are considering their options in terms of attempting.
01:12:40
Speaker 9: To right this wrong.
01:12:43
Speaker 8: And I've also reached out to the government to see if they're doing anything about it. Because, I mean, I think we've seen in the past, particularly with the golf course and the VotoGP, the state government is not– does not fear going over the council, going over Adelaide City Council. And there are different legislative powers they could use to do that. There are different laws that they could use, including the Major Events Act that they used for the golf course.
01:13:10
Speaker 6: They should go the whole hog. Maybe if you work for Santos and live in the city, you shouldn't pay rates. Why accept rates from them? Why charge them for anything, the people that are associated with fossil fuels? Why don't anyone drive into the city?
01:13:24
Speaker 5: You don't.
01:13:24
Speaker 6: You don't accept any money from.
01:13:25
Speaker 8: Does that mean parking's free?
01:13:28
Speaker 6: Parking should be free. I mean, you know, ultimately, allowing people, giving the people facility to park is just really giving fodder to fossil fuel companies, is it not?
01:13:38
Speaker 8: Yeah, so I think everyone apart from the five councillors who voted for this can see.
01:13:44
Speaker 9: The logic in it going ahead.
01:13:45
Speaker 6: Oh, no, I'm sure it's very popular in their Facebook feeds.
01:13:47
Speaker 8: So there'll potentially be a move from within council, if not more moves, multiple moves, I mean. And the government is also looking into it. The government is looking at their options and they're taking advice on what can be done.
01:14:03
Speaker 6: Good. 13 minutes after 8, 04808 1395 is our number. You can call in on 8223 0000 like Mark in North Adelaide has. Mark, on the eve of Halloween, what's your spooky story for the meat tray?
01:14:20
Speaker 3: Well, um.
01:14:21
Speaker 1: A few spooky stories happened to me in that I worked in the Adelaide jail in the late 80s, 87, and we were talking about a prisoner, Frederick Carr, and you hear all the whistling, phantom whistling going between the walls and all that. And in those days, we used to listen to 580, Phil Collins, in the air tonight and did a patrol down in the death row there and I'm walking along, and out of nowhere, it scared the daylights out of me, an owl just come out of nowhere, and this was night shift, doing a patrol, and it went straight into the razor wire, got brought up in there, and that, we used to wear caps in those days, LA Joe was compulsory part of the uniform, but we were just talking about that, I think that car he was involved in, I think he, cut his wife's throat or something. He was one of the guys that was in that, buried in that death row. Yeah, right. It was in between the walls. That hell had come out of nowhere, and it was just so spooky. When you do night shift there, and you've got that wind howling in between the walls, and you could hear the doors. There's a lot of noises that you hear that was just... Too scary to kind of go out on your own down there. That's a good one. For that to happen, that was like a... And he got caught up in the razor wire on the walls and it was just the one in a million chance that it happened at that time and it come out of nowhere.
01:16:02
Speaker 6: Nature behaving oddly and it freaking humans out has been around forever.
01:16:08
Speaker 18: Yeah.
01:16:08
Speaker 6: In the start of Macbeth, Shakespeare writes about how you could get a sense there was... evil and spirits afoot because the horses began eating each other.
01:16:16
Speaker 9: Oh, yeah, that'd give it away.
01:16:18
Speaker 6: This idea that when nature starts acting weird, humans get on edge. We read the signs.
01:16:24
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's true.
01:16:24
Speaker 6: It didn't matter if it was hundreds of years ago or, in Mark's case, just a couple of decades ago. Let's go to Air. Graham, good morning.
01:16:32
Speaker 11: Well, how are you going?
01:16:33
Speaker 17: Good.
01:16:34
Speaker 11: Good, good. The house we had in Victoria in a town called Berwick, we used to watch these ghosts walking up and down our hallway. And all you'd see was the pale sort of a grey shape. And even our cat would scream and go crazy. And Ortsford would stand up in the hallway. Was that baby got a priest to come in? And he said that there was an Aboriginal burial ground not far away from where we were. But we used to watch, you know, the lights would go off and on, radios would come on. Yeah, they sort of hung around our son mainly down the back of the house. But we had friends come and stay one night. And they were sleeping in the back room. And we heard me mate screaming. And he said that when he opened his eyes, there was a shape kneeling down just staring at him. And he said to his wife, we're not staying here, we're going home.
01:17:27
Speaker 6: Fair enough.
01:17:27
Speaker 11: They had a fair drive to go back home to, but they said, we're not staying here, no way.
01:17:31
Speaker 6: When you get a priest involved, Graeme, a few people have said this this morning. Is it like, do you go into your local church and sort of say, hey, can you help me out? We've got a bit of a spooky situation. Or is there like a White Pages sort of, you know, E for exorcisms type thing you do?
01:17:46
Speaker 11: Oh, we knew a priest. We went to a few communions. We knew the priest in Berwick, and he came over and he said, yeah, you've certainly got something. So he spread stuff around the house with a spoon and did all that sort of stuff. And he said, there's certainly something here. I can feel it.
01:18:00
Speaker 20: So, yeah.
01:18:01
Speaker 6: I love the idea of the priest. What does it say? Yeah, you've definitely got something. A bit like, you know, a pest controller or a trader who says there's salt dam. Yeah, yeah, there's definitely a problem here. George in Port Wollonga, good morning.
01:18:12
Speaker 10: G'day, Will.
01:18:13
Speaker 25: G'day, Stacey.
01:18:15
Speaker 26: Both of you guys have got little girls. Now, we've got a little seven-year-old daughter and her middle name is Merle, M-E-R-L-E. We've got photos of past relatives sitting on a pot plant. And one day she was sitting in front of them. She goes, oh, that's Grandma Merle. It was a picture taken of her in the 20s. So we never called her Grandma Merle. We always called her Grandma Tee. So this came out of nowhere, and my wife asked her again, who's that? She goes, Grandma T.
01:18:48
Speaker 1: No.
01:18:49
Speaker 26: Grandma Merle. Grandma Merle. Sorry, yes. And that freaked us out completely. So be ready for it, people.
01:18:56
Speaker 1: No, no, no.
01:18:57
Speaker 6: We exchanged some stories off the top this morning, George, about our daughters seeing and saying terrifying things. Is it a little girls' thing, maybe?
01:19:04
Speaker 9: And this is going to sound so hippy-dippy.
01:19:07
Speaker 8: But I think kids are the closest you get to the afterlife or the before life, depending on how you.
01:19:13
Speaker 6: Look at the cycle of life. They definitely see things the way they look off it.
01:19:15
Speaker 9: And I think kids see it and kids say it.
01:19:18
Speaker 8: An adult might think something and not say it because they go, that's weird, I'm not saying that out loud.
01:19:23
Speaker 6: Yeah, kids have no filter. Kids have no filter. I don't mind that theory. That's good. Keep your spooky stories coming through. It might just win you a meat tray this morning. Thanks to Liam, Joanna and the team. My local butcher, Chanel's 62 Prospect Road. at Prospect. Let's check traffic. A beautiful noise.

Jules, you've got a spooky story for us.
01:20:32
Speaker 3: I do.
01:20:33
Speaker 29: I just wanted to touch base because I heard Stacey saying about her daughter having.
01:20:38
Speaker 28: An experience, but I don't think it's just daughters. My son, when he was three or four years old, used to talk to a friend in his room all the time.
01:20:48
Speaker 8: And one day I asked him.
01:20:51
Speaker 33: Who are you talking to?
01:20:53
Speaker 29: And he said, I'm talking to my other mummy.
01:20:56
Speaker 2: And at the time I was offended.
01:20:57
Speaker 30: Or I was like, I'm your mummy.
01:20:59
Speaker 28: But I spoke to a friend and she said, Well, maybe it's another mum from another time and we just don't know. And I thought about it and, yeah, it's a bit hissy-bitsy as.
01:21:10
Speaker 18: Well, but I don't want the person.
01:21:11
Speaker 15: To regard it.
01:21:13
Speaker 13: Oh, wow.
01:21:14
Speaker 6: I like that theory, Jules. That's nice because you would be in the first instance thinking, well, what do you want another mum for?
01:21:18
Speaker 9: Excuse me? I made you. I am your mother.
01:21:21
Speaker 6: A few other mums going back in the history.
01:21:24
Speaker 15: Yeah.
01:21:24
Speaker 6: I like that, Jules. You're in the running to win the meat train.
01:21:28
Speaker 9: Wow.
01:21:28
Speaker 6: 8223 0000. Spooky story. Kids are spooky. It's one thing. We have concluded this morning.
01:21:34
Speaker 8: Someone did ask, they didn't realise you were raising Wednesday goodings.
01:21:39
Speaker 20: Yes.
01:21:40
Speaker 6: We're pretty sure we are, actually, among other pop culture references that we won't get to.
01:21:45
Speaker 15: So....
01:21:48
Speaker 6: Newton's third law of motion is for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction. And so when the state government pinched the MotoGP, we knew there would be a response, Stace. We knew the Victorians would fire back. We knew they would try and strike back and get us where it hurt. Well, now it's been revealed what the retaliation plan is. They've pinched McLeod's daughters. So, McLeod's Daughters ran from 2001 to 2009, and I reckon a lot of people... You would have been a fan. You were right in the sweet spot for this, weren't you?
01:22:23
Speaker 21: Yeah, Molly.
01:22:24
Speaker 31: The name.
01:22:25
Speaker 8: We didn't actually name her after McLeod's Daughters, Molly, but a lot of people since have pointed it out.
01:22:30
Speaker 6: Would have put it in your head. The famous Kingsford Homestead near Gawler is a place where so many people who love the show go to see where it was filmed. Well, the Vicks have pinched it. They've chipped in $ 6 million to... Vic Screen's Victorian Production Fund. Well, not commercial and confidence, funnily enough. We know it was $ 6 million. I don't know why that is. Maybe we just didn't bother bidding. In any case, it's going to be filmed somewhere in Victoria, the reboot that's coming. So fans of the original show might be excited to know there's a reboot coming. But if you love that South Australian setting, it will now be set in regional Victoria.
01:23:07
Speaker 9: It's not the same. I was watching a.
01:23:09
Speaker 8: Apple TV series. We've just finished it called Last Scene.
01:23:14
Speaker 5: Right.
01:23:14
Speaker 9: And it's really good, speaking of spooky and kids.
01:23:18
Speaker 8: But they're driving through a regional town and they sort of go from the town and there's an escape and a police chase. And one of the cops comes into the room and says, we've spotted the car just outside Nara Court.
01:23:32
Speaker 6: Nah record. Oh, I love nah record.
01:23:35
Speaker 8: No, if you're going to base it in South Australia or use a South Australian town, you have to pronounce it right.
01:23:42
Speaker 9: We've seen them just outside nah record.
01:23:44
Speaker 6: Nah record.
01:23:45
Speaker 15: No.
01:23:46
Speaker 6: That's pretty ordinary for a scripted TV program. If you're in live, I'm not trying to give us too much cover, but if you're just reading something for the first time, breaking news and you're doing it live or it's just happened and no one, okay. But if it's scripted, you've got a chance to check.
01:23:59
Speaker 9: All this stuff. To check that.
01:24:01
Speaker 22: Yeah.
01:24:01
Speaker 6: Narra Court.
01:24:02
Speaker 9: I was highly offended.
01:24:03
Speaker 6: Makes it sound rather posh, though, doesn't it?
01:24:05
Speaker 9: Hello, Narra Court.
01:24:05
Speaker 6: He's going to nip down to Narra Court. John and Glenn Osmond, good morning.
01:24:09
Speaker 10: Morning, morning. How are you guys?
01:24:11
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're well, John. What's your spooky story?
01:24:13
Speaker 10: A long, long time ago when I was 14, we went back to Greece for a holiday. And in the village where my grandmother lived, my cousins, we rode a bike, our bikes down to the main road, which was probably a kilometre away from the village. And along the way, just before the end of the road, I saw this old lady. I said, oh, look at that poor old lady.
01:24:32
Speaker 21: She's walking.
01:24:34
Speaker 10: And my cousin said, she's not real. I said, what do you mean? She's a ghost. She'll disappear when she gets to the road. And I started laughing. As she got to the road, she just disappeared.
01:24:44
Speaker 26: Hmm.
01:24:45
Speaker 10: And that's the God's honest truth. She just vanished. And I asked my grandmother and she said they were walking down to the bus stop with her children. One of her children got hit by a car. So this woman's ghost continually walks down to the road Apparently to find her son.
01:25:03
Speaker 1: I don't know.
01:25:04
Speaker 10: That's what my grandmother said.
01:25:05
Speaker 25: Wow.
01:25:05
Speaker 10: And that's back in the 70s. It just spooked me out. Something really weird. I've never seen anything like that in my life.
01:25:11
Speaker 6: I just love the way that all the locals sort of just told you as a matter of fact.
01:25:14
Speaker 9: Yeah, no, she'll disappear.
01:25:15
Speaker 6: Don't worry, she'll disappear.
01:25:16
Speaker 9: Ignore her.
01:25:16
Speaker 6: She's harmless. I wouldn't pay her too much mind. She's an apparition. Thank you, John.
01:25:21
Speaker 9: Oh, my God.
01:25:22
Speaker 6: That was amazing. Lachlan says, with regards to McLeod's daughter's being pinched, very disappointing. I thought you were going to say the Vicks had stolen writer's week. It's all ours, that one, I think. Thank you for that. Thank you for that, Lachlan. 29 after eight. Visit Adelaide's best-kept secret, Nordic Design Furniture.

Speaker 3: 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.
01:25:59
Speaker 4: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee.
01:26:01
Speaker 5: This is 5AA Breakfast.
01:26:03
Speaker 6: 20 to 9, Feedback Friday in a moment. There's some spots available if you want to call in right now on 8223 0000. If you're playing for a Smeg Kettle or a Gramazio Foods meat pack, Gramazio Foods is remarkable. They've got the Sinopoli pack, SA's only celiac certified butcher, Burnside Village, Golden Grove Village and online at gramaziofoods.com.au and $ 50 Colac voucher as well. The award-winning Colac Hotel. You can get in now because this place is going to be hard to get into, I imagine, soon with all the awards they want, the hotel awards. You can get it to Premium Dining at Elliot's or Bootleg Social or, frankly, Colic's got something for everyone, so get in and try it. It is terrific. Lots of texts about Patrick Stewart have been coming in, and a few Trekkies have noted that there's been two sad passings now in Star Trek land. Patrick Stewart, of course, Jean-Luc Picard in Next Generation, and Walter Koenig died earlier in the week, who played the role of Pavel Chekhov in the original Star Trek series. He was brought in because the other really popular show at the time was The Monkees, the fictional band that ended up genuinely having hits. And The Monkees, so they wanted a character who looked like the zeitgeist at the time, the attractive young monkey style guy, because they thought this will broaden it. This is funny to say in retrospect. This will broaden out the interest in Star Trek to women.
01:27:27
Speaker 26: Oh, right.
01:27:27
Speaker 6: It didn't work. Chekhov became a much-loved character, but I don't think it... I mean, I don't think Star Trek's doing great numbers historically in young female category.
01:27:37
Speaker 9: Not something I've ever watched, I will admit.
01:27:39
Speaker 6: So, bad luck to Chekhov.
01:27:42
Speaker 8: Phil points out, two Star Trek actors have died this week. Don't things happen in threes?
01:27:47
Speaker 1: Spooky.
01:27:48
Speaker 6: If something happens to Shatner, I'm taking the day off. I'm not coming in to talk about it. All right.
01:27:52
Speaker 12: Now.
01:27:53
Speaker 6: We have spots available for Feedback Friday. You win a prize, four simple questions, no wrong answers, 8223 0000. Give us a call right now. If you've never done it, if you've thought about doing it, give us a call. It's totally painless. You don't have to be creative.
01:28:06
Speaker 9: We'll make it easy for you.
01:28:07
Speaker 6: Oh, my goodness. We'll make it easy.
01:28:09
Speaker 9: Smeg kettle up for grabs.
01:28:11
Speaker 5: Smeg.
01:28:11
Speaker 9: Gravazio Foods, $ 50 Colac voucher.
01:28:13
Speaker 6: Pub experience. Come on. Let's get a first-time feedback run. Everyone wins, by the way. Everyone wins. You can't say the wrong thing. Just make a noise. Let's go to Henley. Leo, you've got a spooky story for us.
01:28:24
Speaker 27: Oh, g'day.
01:28:25
Speaker 5: Yeah.
01:28:27
Speaker 7: My dad was a bomber pilot in World War II, and his mother woke up one night on the farm near Whitiakawi and said to my grandfather that Leo's standing at the end of the bed in his uniform and woke up my grandfather and he said, no, he's not. He said, yes, he is. He's standing right there. Anyway, just short of two weeks later, they got a telegram to say that my dad had been shot down into the Adriatic Sea.
01:28:54
Speaker 6: No.
01:28:56
Speaker 7: And the night after, that she woke up was the night that it happened.
01:28:59
Speaker 6: Oh, my goodness.
01:29:01
Speaker 5: Oh, wow.
01:29:01
Speaker 6: That's a great story. Thank you, Leo.
01:29:04
Speaker 9: Oh, it's spooky.
01:29:06
Speaker 6: There are, I mean, you know, be as sceptical as you like, but there is the common thread along a lot of these stories is a coincidence that's hard to explain between when the phenomenon, real or imagined, takes place, coinciding with something that definitely did happen. We've had a few stories that fit that sort of bill this morning, and they are freaky. They are.
01:29:30
Speaker 9: Feedback. Friday to day, so have your say.
01:29:36
Speaker 1: Feedback.
01:29:39
Speaker 6: Building or renovating your first choice, you should be visiting the Smeg show of indebted distributors. Taste the difference with Smeg. Kettle, Ramazio Foods, $ 50 Colac voucher. Shandell, Jim and Linda are all going to be winners. Let's get into it. Shandell in Salisbury Plains, good morning.
01:29:54
Speaker 33: Good morning, Will and Stacey.
01:29:55
Speaker 11: Happy Friday.
01:29:56
Speaker 6: Happy Friday. We sometimes get brainwaves from the producers' booth, and Patty and Jess have come up with this idea that the government should kill two birds with one stone. So in the process of sentencing bikies, community service should include chopping down trees. Do you think that would be a good idea, Shandell?
01:30:12
Speaker 33: Fantastic idea. I love that idea, Will.
01:30:17
Speaker 6: We'll give that a big tick.
01:30:17
Speaker 9: New form of community service.
01:30:19
Speaker 6: Yeah.
01:30:19
Speaker 9: Chop down some trees for the community.
01:30:22
Speaker 6: They're not going to chop themselves down. Shandell, have you ever stopped at a roadside stall? We talked with a roadside stall operator this week. People have been doing the wrong thing there. But have you ever stopped at one?
01:30:34
Speaker 33: Absolutely. There's one in Keith, just near the petrol station. He sells butternuts and mandarins. A little bit of cash money, I believe. So you can really bargain him down too. So lovely old gentleman.
01:30:51
Speaker 6: Oh, that sounds delicious. I bet those are good mandarins.
01:30:53
Speaker 8: Nothing better than eggs, just fresh eggs from a roadside stall.
01:30:58
Speaker 1: Yeah.
01:30:58
Speaker 9: No, no, that's supermarket.
01:30:59
Speaker 6: That's good.
01:31:00
Speaker 9: Get the ones direct from the farm.
01:31:02
Speaker 6: Cherdell, which Adelaide crow would you trust to teach your child something? They're going into the childcare business, the crows.
01:31:10
Speaker 33: Oh, Stacey, I'm a power supporter like you, however. I have great respect for Tex and Jordan Dawson, so.
01:31:19
Speaker 6: Okay.
01:31:20
Speaker 33: More than likely Tex because he has his three children.
01:31:24
Speaker 6: He knows kids, yeah.
01:31:25
Speaker 33: Yeah, they rate with me, both of those guys.
01:31:26
Speaker 13: Yeah.
01:31:27
Speaker 6: No, good answer, Shandell. It would have been totally appropriate if you just simply say none of them. That would have been fine too. Shandell, can you think of anywhere non-problematic that we could put a data centre? Is there anywhere we could put a data centre that won't upset someone?
01:31:41
Speaker 12: Melbourne.
01:31:43
Speaker 6: Shandell, that was brilliant.
01:31:44
Speaker 1: Perfect.
01:31:44
Speaker 6: Thank you. Magnificent. Let's go to Jim. Good morning, Jim.
01:31:48
Speaker 29: Morning, Will and Stacey.
01:31:49
Speaker 6: Jim, are you going to bother looking at the AFL fixture this year or are you going to wait until next year?
01:31:53
Speaker 10: No, I'm going to wait for never.
01:31:57
Speaker 9: Oh, not into it.
01:31:58
Speaker 6: You don't care?
01:31:58
Speaker 10: No, I've got mighty red legs.
01:32:01
Speaker 6: Oh, the Sanford. Well, you're still in celebration mode, Jim.
01:32:06
Speaker 25: Yes, still are.
01:32:08
Speaker 6: Do you care at all about Halloween, Jim?
01:32:11
Speaker 10: Not at all.
01:32:12
Speaker 6: Don't care about the AFL, don't care about Halloween. We're 0 for 2. Let's go number three. Do you care about Remembrance Day? There's going to be protests on– well, there was. They're going to change it now. But do you think November 11 should be quarantined from any protest action?
01:32:26
Speaker 13: Definitely.
01:32:27
Speaker 10: All right.
01:32:28
Speaker 6: We got one.
01:32:28
Speaker 9: Good answer.
01:32:29
Speaker 8: I didn't realise they're changing the day of the protest.
01:32:31
Speaker 6: Yeah.
01:32:32
Speaker 9: They've seen some sense.
01:32:33
Speaker 6: They've seen some sense.
01:32:34
Speaker 9: They've worked out the significance of the day.
01:32:36
Speaker 6: That's right. Someone's told– they Googled it. The AI told them.
01:32:40
Speaker 21: Wow.
01:32:40
Speaker 1: Cheers.
01:32:42
Speaker 6: Jim, Victoria's pitched McLeod's Daughters. If we somehow got it back or it went pear-shaped, or a bit like the Commonwealth Games, they decide it's cost too much money and they cancel it for six weeks out. Where in South Australia do you think we should shoot McLeod's Daughters?
01:32:58
Speaker 16: Back in the Barosta Valley.
01:32:59
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly.
01:33:00
Speaker 26: And freely.
01:33:01
Speaker 6: Makes sense. Thank you, Jim. You never know with Victoria. It's always a chance. Let's go to Heathfield. Linda, good morning.
01:33:07
Speaker 18: Oh, good morning.
01:33:08
Speaker 2: This is going to be funny.
01:33:11
Speaker 6: It's always funny, Linda.
01:33:12
Speaker 9: I like it already, Linda.
01:33:13
Speaker 6: It's always funny.
01:33:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay.
01:33:15
Speaker 6: Are you going to place a bet on the Melbourne Cup, Linda? Do you have a flutter?
01:33:21
Speaker 18: Yeah, I do. With my walking group, I only just put it on the chat the other day. Come on, girls, are we going to go and have a lunch and do a flutter yet?
01:33:29
Speaker 9: Oh, I love that.
01:33:30
Speaker 6: How do you pick a winner, Linda? Have you got a theory?
01:33:34
Speaker 18: Oh, no, it's just, you know, you pay your money and you put your hand in and hopefully.
01:33:38
Speaker 9: Pick up some winning numbers.
01:33:39
Speaker 18: Oh, sweet.
01:33:39
Speaker 6: You do the sweet.
01:33:40
Speaker 18: And I have been lucky, and the girls have been a bit jealous about that. But, yeah, I have been lucky.
01:33:45
Speaker 6: Oh, well, long may your luck continue, Linda.
01:33:48
Speaker 1: Thank you.
01:33:49
Speaker 6: Do you think we overreact to things like the earthquake we had earlier this week on Tuesday?
01:33:55
Speaker 18: Well, it was out far enough for me not to worry about, so... No, not really, no.
01:34:03
Speaker 6: Historically speaking, it was a big one. Not globally, it wasn't a big one, but South Australia, it was a pretty big one. 4.9 on the Richter scale. When do you normally do your Christmas shopping, Linda?
01:34:14
Speaker 31: Oh, guess what?
01:34:15
Speaker 18: I don't have grandchildren. My boys are growing up. I want them to buy me things, but I'm not buying them anything.
01:34:23
Speaker 6: So I'm just.
01:34:25
Speaker 18: Give them some food, maybe.
01:34:28
Speaker 6: Yeah. They'll probably appreciate the food, Linda. That's not a bad thing.
01:34:31
Speaker 9: Good call.
01:34:32
Speaker 6: That's fair enough. Late night shopping, of course. The hours have been announced. They got announced earlier this week.
01:34:36
Speaker 9: If you're Linda's sons, buy your mum something for Christmas.
01:34:39
Speaker 6: Buy your mum, buy Linda something, sons.
01:34:42
Speaker 18: Oh, good.
01:34:43
Speaker 31: Thank you.
01:34:45
Speaker 6: Get her something. We're going to get her a prize in a moment, but you come on, sons. Now, who deserves a mural in the city? Linda, Travis Head, Alex Carey got one earlier in the week. Who should we paint a mural to?
01:34:58
Speaker 11: Oh, mural.
01:35:00
Speaker 26: Oh, gosh. I'll see.
01:35:03
Speaker 22: It's too quick.
01:35:03
Speaker 18: I'd have to think about that one. Oh, any musician? Any other musician?
01:35:09
Speaker 6: Musician? Yeah, we've got the Hilltop Hoods have got a name after them. Paul Kelly has got a lane named after him.
01:35:15
Speaker 24: The Angels?
01:35:15
Speaker 15: Yeah.
01:35:16
Speaker 5: Yeah.
01:35:16
Speaker 6: CS is paying?
01:35:17
Speaker 18: Neil Diamond? What about a Neil Diamond mural?
01:35:19
Speaker 6: Oh, well, the musical's coming.
01:35:20
Speaker 9: The musical's here.
01:35:21
Speaker 6: What about a Neil Diamond mural in the city?
01:35:23
Speaker 9: I like that.
01:35:24
Speaker 33: Yeah.
01:35:25
Speaker 6: You know what, Linda? That would be good.
01:35:26
Speaker 36: That's brilliant.
01:35:27
Speaker 6: That was excellent. See? That wasn't scary at all.
01:35:29
Speaker 11: There you go.
01:35:31
Speaker 6: Well done. Phew. Hey, Linda, what would you like? A kettle? You want some meat?
01:35:35
Speaker 11: What do you want?
01:35:37
Speaker 5: Meat.
01:35:37
Speaker 6: All right. You've got the Gramazio food packs coming your way. Done. Who do we do for the kettle and colac?
01:35:43
Speaker 8: Go the kettle to Shandell and the colac to Jim.
01:35:46
Speaker 6: Magnificent work. Everyone's a winner. Feedback Friday. See? Linda just proved. Totally painless as well. All right. We're there. We'll check traffic. We'll take a quick break and we'll count down the top five in just a moment. And Neil Diamond, of course, is our traffic sponsor at the moment. So Linda will be stoked. A beautiful noise. The Neil Diamond musical is coming to Adelaide in May. Join the wait list now.
01:36:07
Speaker 3: Knock down.
01:36:08
Speaker 5: Build two.
01:36:08
Speaker 3: With Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes. They do it all for you.
01:36:15
Speaker 4: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee.
01:36:17
Speaker 5: This is 5AA Breakfast.
01:36:19
Speaker 6: 6 to 9. Time to give away the meat tray. Thanks to the great people at Chanel's. We give you the challenge. Just go to 62 Prospect Road at Prospect and plan to buy one thing. It is impossible.
01:36:29
Speaker 11: Yep.
01:36:30
Speaker 6: No. Good luck. Try to get in and out of that store within two minutes.
01:36:35
Speaker 8: And even if you have to go in for some fresh fruit and veg, you cannot go past the other sections.
01:36:42
Speaker 9: You can't go past the meat section. You've got to go through all of it.
01:36:45
Speaker 6: A magical thing happens. You pass through the doors trying to get one thing, and you walk out, and you've got two bags full of great stuff. It's brilliant. It's just beautiful. Liam, you're on the other team. My local butcher, Chanel, is 62 Prospect Road, Prospect. Who wins the meat race, Dave?
01:36:57
Speaker 8: Marge in Hampstead Gardens. She told us about her son scaring all the neighbours with a Freddy Krueger mask.
01:37:04
Speaker 13: Yes.
01:37:05
Speaker 6: It's an excellent spooky story. Congratulations to you, Marge. Meat tray coming your way. Top five time.
01:37:10
Speaker 5: It's been the top five of the week.
01:37:13
Speaker 6: The number five spot. In life, I've worked out a few things. You've got local government. Then above that, you've got state government. Then above that, you've got federal government. Then above that, you might have the UN and God. And then on top of that is the AFL. I actually didn't notice at first that he threw the UN in there. That's a controversial hierarchy.
01:37:33
Speaker 13: Yeah.
01:37:33
Speaker 9: The Premier's hierarchy. AFL's on top.
01:37:36
Speaker 6: Not even the UN thinks the UN's on that level. That was great. That was your stoush with the Premier about the sport announcement being on the same day as the ICAC evaluation announcement. Number four.
01:37:49
Speaker 3: I'm going to give it a crack.
01:37:53
Speaker 6: Now, the advertiser. This is fantastic. It's great. This RBA Melbourne Cup Day-inspired sweep where there's just wonderful names that have come through. And to be honest, though, I think our listeners have done better. Some of the great texts we've got. Vicky in Salisbury says, how about Lover Duck, written by Manus Labuschagne? And there's another terrific one here from Caesar, Alice Rolls, writing, nothing to see here. Let's take some calls. Rob and Unley, what's your horse name?
01:38:18
Speaker 34: Run, you bastard.
01:38:20
Speaker 6: We did horse nubs earlier in the week, inspired by that Tizer lift out. And got some very, very funny suggestions. Number three.
01:38:27
Speaker 21: Parents start talking about sex in front of their children.
01:38:30
Speaker 35: Their ears, ah, la, la, la.
01:38:31
Speaker 21: They don't want to hear a word, right?
01:38:33
Speaker 35: And I said, we're at that stage, you know, where we've got to spice things up a bit. We've got to start role play. And here's Ange, and I put a photo up in her grey dressing gown, just sitting there, not looking sexy at all. And I said, here she is trying to turn me on. in her koala outfit. Unfortunately, the role-playing was.
01:38:51
Speaker 21: That it's a koala with.
01:38:52
Speaker 35: Chlamydia, and I said, unfortunately, it's working.
01:38:54
Speaker 6: That was Timmy G's stand-up routine on the Saturday night. We got texts about that joke on the Monday morning, and because he's Tim Ginniver, he just told it again, which was terrific.
01:39:06
Speaker 9: If you ever want a TMI on Tim Ginniver's life.
01:39:09
Speaker 6: There you go. A few people texted us asking, asked Tim how he went with the koala on the weekend. Number two. Paddy just held up a picture of the big joint that Mike is talking about. That sculpture looks like a series of rollies. There's 11 of them.
01:39:23
Speaker 9: There's 11 of them.
01:39:24
Speaker 8: Well, is it a myth that South Australia is one of the only states where you're allowed to grow marijuana for personal use?
01:39:31
Speaker 6: I didn't know that did not cross the border, though. I thought that was a universally Australian thing.
01:39:35
Speaker 9: That was one of the big selling points for me moving here.
01:39:37
Speaker 6: Is that right? Yeah, we learned a bit something about Stacey and the 10-plant rule and how it transitioned- to one plant rule and then a no plant rule for criminality. Still an offence, but not a criminal offence. No.
01:39:51
Speaker 9: No, you get the green light for that one.
01:39:52
Speaker 6: So, Stace, it's been great having you here in South Australia. We'll be sad to lose you. Number one. I just had a couple of texts through in quick succession from people saying there's been a bit of an earth tremor, or so they think. Jan in Manham, what did you feel?
01:40:06
Speaker 31: Well, I was lying in bed and I was just going through my phone and the bed started to shake.
01:40:11
Speaker 25: And I thought, what the?
01:40:12
Speaker 6: Okay, so in Manham. What about in Lightsview, Kay? What did you feel?
01:40:15
Speaker 31: Yeah, well, I was laying on the phone and I thought, that's a little terrifying.
01:40:18
Speaker 17: Tiny, nothing to worry about.
01:40:21
Speaker 18: And I felt it again.
01:40:22
Speaker 6: All right, let's go to Callington. Daryl, what did you feel?
01:40:25
Speaker 23: My lad rang me.
01:40:25
Speaker 26: He said, oh, are you home?
01:40:27
Speaker 30: I said, no.
01:40:27
Speaker 23: He said it lasted for about 30 seconds.
01:40:30
Speaker 6: Can I tell you guys, thank you, Geoscience Australia have just updated their interactive map.
01:40:34
Speaker 5: Yeah.
01:40:34
Speaker 6: And there has been an earthquake. It's offshore in the Southern Ocean.
01:40:38
Speaker 9: Oh, look at that. That big red dot.
01:40:40
Speaker 6: The magnitude 4.9 at a depth of just 10 Ks, which is shallow. We started getting texts through immediately on Tuesday morning about the earthquake. And you can hear my first, the first one, what you think you felt. I was a little sceptical because we were looking at the Geoscience Australia website and there was nothing on there. But as is always the case with breaking news, our listeners are onto it first.
01:41:01
Speaker 9: You knew it first.
01:41:02
Speaker 6: And they called through immediately, which was terrific. We always appreciate that. And in the end, fairly big one, 4.9.
01:41:07
Speaker 26: Yep.
01:41:09
Speaker 6: Let's round things out this week with Fuel Watch. Don't get stuck on the side of the road. Get RAA road service. I think got a nomination in our 7 before 7 scariest things of 2026 was filling up your car. Still scary today. The United Melrose Park South Road, $ 2.
01:41:23
Speaker 5: 14. 9.
01:41:23
Speaker 6: The Mobile Shido Park Commercial Road, $ 2. 18. 5. And the cheapest diesel, the Mobile Blair Athol again, Prospect Road, $ 2. 62. 5. May you have a spooky Halloween weekend. We'll catch you Monday morning from 6. Good luck, everyone.
01:41:40
