00:00:02
Speaker 1: 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.
00:00:11
Speaker 2: Live from Hindmarsh Square, it's 5AA Breakfast. Will Goodings with Stacey Lee.
00:00:17
Speaker 3: Night after six, good morning to you. Welcome to Thursday on 5AA Breakfast, the 15th of October. Nice to hear Sam and Ed back. It's good to come into the building and hear energy and madness as only the high-fivers can produce it.
00:00:29
Speaker 4: Madness.
00:00:30
Speaker 3: Madness. Exactly right. Matt Abraham will be on after 7.30 today to deliver his own a unique form of madness. Looking forward to rating the biggest louver after 7.30. Make sure you join us for that this week. Lots going on, federal and state parliament. Robert Sims from the Greens will be on with regard to a bill that passed the state parliament on a heritage issue that you're going to be very interested in after 7.30 today. Also coming up on the program, we've got a big breaking day and filtered throughout the morning. We will be chatting with some of our newly elected I don't know what the turn of phrase is. Michelin-starred restaurant? What's the active.
00:01:08
Speaker 5: Why don't we just call them our Michelin stars?
00:01:10
Speaker 3: Our Michelin... Lovely. Stacey, that's where you're the best. We'll be chatting with our Michelin stars over the course of the morning. Maxwell's received one star. So too did Jake Kelly from RK, who we've had regularly in the program. He's a regular on 5AA Breakfast. Delighted that he got one too. They'll be on the program. You were there last night, Stacey, and I've got to say... My favourite headline in reading all the news this morning was on the BBC website, the BBC in the UK.
00:01:36
Speaker 5: There we go. This is why we want the guide.
00:01:38
Speaker 3: There's this news story on the BBC that says... Australia receives its first Michelin stars and the Bex line is, and they're all in one state.
00:01:51
Speaker 5: Yes, BBC.
00:01:54
Speaker 3: Which is just excellent. I mean, obviously we paid for the privilege, but the rest of the world doesn't know that. They just think for this brief period of time before the rest of Australia starts doing it. The culinary centre of Australia is South Australia, which I think is fair, and it must have felt like that last night when you were at the awards stage.
00:02:11
Speaker 5: It really did. It felt like the Oscars of food. The way they've set it up, you know, this Michelin guide is huge across the globe, and they've got a fantastic format for how they give the awards out, and it was at the convention centre. It did not feel like the convention centre. They had got an entire set, an entire stage built, drapes, beautiful red and black velvet everywhere. But when the restaurants and the chefs were being called up, they had cameras panning down the red carpet with them. It felt like the Oscars, you know, when the camera pans with the winner down the aisle, up on stage. They were doing a Q & A up on stage with Jess Adamson, who was brilliant as always. It was a really elevated evening of celebration in the South Australian food scene, and it Everyone who was recommended on the Michelin recommended list, everyone who received a Bib Gourmand, which we spoke about yesterday, the sort of good value venues to go to, and everyone who got a star and even McGill Estate, who was the only restaurant which got two stars. They were all really, really grateful. Lots of tears up on stage, lots of amazing stories about how the business has started and family operations and how it feels like a family in the kitchen and behind the scenes. So it was great to see that being honoured in South Australia yesterday.
00:03:31
Speaker 3: So Maxwell's who we're going to be speaking to. Now, let's be clear about this. These are big gongs that very expensive and very exclusive sort of restaurants get. World-class recognition. So Maxwell's I've been to once. Very lucky. We took my mother there, and I won't say which birthday, but it was a very significant birthday because the whole family went and it was an event that that whilst we'd love to do regularly, will only ever happen in the event that someone has a huge milestone birthday, but it was magnificent. So there's that element of it. What we want to do this morning is, whilst talking about this, put together the 5AA Breakfast Michelin Guide. Now, the guidelines for the 5AA Breakfast Michelin Guide are a little different. Okay? We want to know, and we want some deep cuts this morning, and by that I mean we don't want the obvious. We don't want... We want you to tell us the secret great little food places to eat in your neck of the woods. We are talking a barn me joint. We're talking a bakery that no one's talking about. We might be talking about a cafe that in your area is just the best.
00:04:43
Speaker 6: Yep.
00:04:43
Speaker 3: 8223 0000. Text us on 04808 1395. The 5AA Breakfast Michelin Guide is about finding food. the little hidden secrets in your neck of the woods, folks. And we've got country royalty tickets to give away. Tickets to this wonderful music show that's taking place at the 16th at Her Majesty's Theatre, featuring the music of Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash and more. And we've got a Lucky Dumpling Market voucher as well, so you can get along and eat the delicious food at the Lucky Dumpling Market. Food very much on the mind this morning. The 5AA Breakfast Michelin Guide, your favourite little spots to eat. What do you order in your suburb, your neck of the woods? Maybe it's on your drive. to work, maybe it's when you're picking up grandkids from school, whatever it might well be.
00:05:25
Speaker 5: Your suggestions, they might only have one item.
00:05:28
Speaker 3: That's right.
00:05:28
Speaker 5: You know, if there's that local- Might be a finger bun from- Local Vietnamese place that does the best spring roll in Adelaide. Something like, we want to know those little details.
00:05:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. Don't carefully guard your secrets, folks.
00:05:41
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, no. There's none of that.
00:05:43
Speaker 3: This is the ultra local 5AA breakfast food guide. 8223 0000 or text us on- 0-4-8-0-8-13-95. Does one come to mind for you?
00:05:52
Speaker 7: Yes.
00:05:52
Speaker 5: There's a cafe near me. It's called The Little Neighbour, and they spell neighbour without a U, and I thought, oh, no.
00:06:00
Speaker 3: Oh, like American style.
00:06:01
Speaker 5: I made a mistake there. But then their little slogan underneath it is, all we're missing is you.
00:06:07
Speaker 3: Oh, very good.
00:06:07
Speaker 5: Which is very cute.
00:06:08
Speaker 8: Okay, that's good.
00:06:08
Speaker 5: They do free baby chinos, tick.
00:06:10
Speaker 3: Yes.
00:06:11
Speaker 5: And it's run by a Hong Kong family, and they do the best prawn toast in Adelaide.
00:06:17
Speaker 3: Now, that's what we're after.
00:06:18
Speaker 5: But they cut them really small. So it's one piece of bread almost cut into quarters. So they're really, really small bite-sized pieces of prawn toast, which are amazing.
00:06:26
Speaker 3: That sounds magnificent. We need more recommendations like Stacey's. We're going to put to our very own guide. You've got Michelin, la-di-da. You've got the 5AA Breakfast Guide, la-di-do. You can go and do this every week if you want, every Wednesday. If you want to go get the best pasty or whatever it might be. I don't want to pollute your thoughts. It might be a dessert. whatever it might well be.
00:06:46
Speaker 5: Do you have one?
00:06:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going to do a really deep and specific cut.
00:06:51
Speaker 9: Okay, go on.
00:06:52
Speaker 3: I think on Mitten Avenue at Grange, there is a little cafe called Luma that does the best acai in South Australia. They do acai bowls, which is this crushed South American berry that is a breakfast food. If you like it, you need to go there because you'll love it there. It is the absolute best.
00:07:10
Speaker 5: Is it a breakfast food or is this just an excuse that people use to eat ice cream for breakfast?
00:07:14
Speaker 3: We, in fact, don't tell her, but my daughter thinks that is what ice cream is.
00:07:19
Speaker 5: Oh, I see.
00:07:21
Speaker 3: She thinks that's what ice cream is. We call it ice cream to get her to leave swimming on Saturday mornings. Do you want to go get ice cream? I don't know what the other parents are thinking. They're probably going to call child services. Let's go to Piero. What are you putting on the 5AA Breakfast Michelin Guide, Piero?
00:07:37
Speaker 10: I'm going to have to do two, but Asian-taste Vietnamese on the corner of Hemme Beach Road and Airport Road.
00:07:43
Speaker 3: Yep, not well.
00:07:43
Speaker 10: Absolutely die for. Barmese and beautiful-tasting dishes. Luxor soup is a sensational one there. And also... I think it's Chinatown Cafe in the Chinatown area of the market. They do a killer deluxe soup as well.
00:08:06
Speaker 11: Yeah.
00:08:06
Speaker 6: Two for me.
00:08:09
Speaker 3: No, that's magnificent, Piero.
00:08:10
Speaker 12: Well done.
00:08:10
Speaker 3: And you are in the running for either the wonderful tickets to Country Royalty or the Lucky Dumpling Market. which sounds like that'll be your sort of flavour, Piero, based on those choices there in the running for the Lucky Dumpling Market voucher.
00:08:23
Speaker 5: Some of the restaurants in the Lucky Dumpling Market, well, the food trucks, were also honoured last night. Their standing restaurants were honoured last night. So if you go to Lucky Dumpling Market this year, you'll be able to try Michelin-selected food from Michelin-selected restaurants.
00:08:36
Speaker 3: No way. That's remarkable. Sue and Mylor, have you got something to add to our 5AA Breakfast Michelin Guide?
00:08:42
Speaker 10: Oh, definitely.
00:08:43
Speaker 13: Yeah.
00:08:43
Speaker 7: If you drive up to Mylor, go to the... the little deli general store. Also a mini bakery. They make all their own cakes and their pies to die for. They do duck pies and beef and Shiraz pies and chicken and leek. They are the best. You can sit out the front if you want to and watch the world go by. They make beautiful food. You can eat. They've got a lovely menu and their chips are the best in the hills.
00:09:18
Speaker 3: Oh, what a beautiful picture you just painted, Sue. Sitting there watching the world go by, eating a beef and Shiraz pie. Oh, you took me there, Sue, up to my law. Thank you. Duck pie.
00:09:26
Speaker 10: Yeah.
00:09:27
Speaker 5: Love the idea of that.
00:09:28
Speaker 3: That was terrific. There's a whole heap of text coming through. On a separate subject, I do like Rob's, who said, and this happens, I guess, subliminally when you are listening from time to time, he was listening to you talk about the spelling of neighbor, only to find out that is not the login password on his computer.
00:09:41
Speaker 14: Yeah.
00:09:43
Speaker 3: You know when you do that, someone's telling you something and you log in and you literally just type what you've heard?
00:09:46
Speaker 5: What you just heard.
00:09:47
Speaker 3: Alright, Rob.
00:09:48
Speaker 5: Sorry, Rob.
00:09:48
Speaker 3: Eyes on the prize, Rob. Eighteen after six. We're going to take a break. We'll get some more entries into the 5AA Breakfast Michelin Guide.
00:09:55
Speaker 1: 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.
00:10:03
Speaker 2: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:10:07
Speaker 3: 22 minutes after six. Oh, my goodness. The text line is full of very good information when it comes to great eateries in South Australia. We're asking you to help us compile the 5AA Breakfast Michelin Guide, which is somewhat different from the actual Michelin Guide that was revealed last night. We'll be speaking with some of the awarded restaurants over the course of the morning. Loving hearing from your favourite bar and meat places or your favourite Vietnamese or your local footy club eateries or some of the other best burger joints. We're getting a lot of burger joints nominated as well. We'll get to some of those in a moment. But first, we just want to have a chat with Keith from Highbury's called in. Morning, Keith.
00:10:46
Speaker 15: Morning, guys.
00:10:46
Speaker 6: How are you?
00:10:47
Speaker 3: We're well, Keith. What's happened?
00:10:48
Speaker 4: Oh, we're having a terrible night here.
00:10:51
Speaker 16: The water went out last night.
00:10:55
Speaker 14: And I.
00:10:56
Speaker 6: My wife tells me about 1.
00:10:57
Speaker 17: O'clock in the morning.
00:10:58
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's been out for a while.
00:11:00
Speaker 15: And I get up 5 in the morning.
00:11:02
Speaker 13: There's no water.
00:11:03
Speaker 6: And I'll get on the app.
00:11:04
Speaker 15: Yeah, it's out at Highbury.
00:11:06
Speaker 4: I'll give the young lady a call at the emergency line.
00:11:09
Speaker 6: Very polite. Yeah, should be on 7.30.
00:11:12
Speaker 15: Then I'll get a message on my.
00:11:15
Speaker 6: SMS.
00:11:16
Speaker 4: Won't be back on until about 10, 10.30.
00:11:17
Speaker 5: Okay.
00:11:21
Speaker 15: Went over there, six o'clock, the trucks just rocked up and the supervisor, I had a chat with the supervisor at a decent point. And I asked him straight out, why didn't you guys fix it overnight? Why did you just shut the water off everyone?
00:11:33
Speaker 4: Like, we got no water. You know, isn't there any shift workers here, coppers, nurses, AMBOs who want to get up and have.
00:11:39
Speaker 15: A shower or have a coffee or have a drink of water?
00:11:42
Speaker 4: And his answer was direct, lack of resources.
00:11:47
Speaker 14: Hmm.
00:11:47
Speaker 4: Now, I mean, I'd really appreciate it if you guys get someone from SA Water higher up or the minister and say to them, look, people can do without electricity for four hours when it goes out in a storm, but without water, no one survives.
00:12:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely.
00:12:02
Speaker 4: You know, this is disgusting.
00:12:05
Speaker 6: It's ridiculous.
00:12:06
Speaker 15: And they find money for other things, Will.
00:12:10
Speaker 4: They find money for other things, less important things. But water is a necessity and a basic human right.
00:12:16
Speaker 2: And.
00:12:17
Speaker 4: I'm furious, actually.
00:12:18
Speaker 12: I really am angry.
00:12:19
Speaker 3: Well, we all know what direction water bills have been going in. I'm just looking at the actual outage at the moment, Keith, that you've been looking at. It says we're currently working in this area to restore a temporary water supply service interruption. The estimated restoration time is 10 a.m. To be honest, we get so few water outages for precisely these reasons because there's no margin for error with water. You need water.
00:12:42
Speaker 5: I wonder why it was turned off.
00:12:44
Speaker 3: I didn't even know there was an outage map. It doesn't say.
00:12:46
Speaker 5: Is there a burst main nearby or something? They had to turn it off?
00:12:48
Speaker 3: A temporary water supply service interruption, so it must be something like that. Keith's right, though. Yes, power is frustrating. The absence of water can be deadly. Thank you for that, Keith. We will follow that up for you. We'll try and find out what happened there. That is a long, long time to be without water. It doesn't say, unlike with SA power networks, how many houses or premises are without water. So there's a little graphic, and I'm looking at it right now. So if we look in Highbury, we're looking at people who are living on Harold Street or Donald Street and some of what looks like Lindsay Street. The map's pretty hard to zoom in at this time of day. So that's the sort of area that we're looking in. If you live in that area or in one of those streets, let us know. Is your water still not flowing to your premises? We'll follow it up, 8223 0000 Texas on Facebook. 0 to 4808 1395. Let's have a look at the weather situation. If you're going to be without water, at very least it's a cool start to the day. It's not going to be hotter like it will be later in the week. 11.8 degrees outside at the moment. Cool start, though, because it feels like about 8.4. It is warming up. So 22 will be the top today. Tomorrow, 25. Saturday, 27. And then, how about this, 29 for Sunday, 29 Monday, 28 Tuesday, 28 on Wednesday. The forecast minimums on those days are warmer than what we started the week with. So 20 degrees overnight on the Tuesday, for example, it's going to be a warm one, maybe a little bit of rain about the place that day as well. It was raining trade activity yesterday. The AFL trade deadline came and went and it's time to wrap it all for security, safety and style made to order. choose glider or garage doors glider.com.au cory norris in the studio with us cory good morning good morning to you will and stacy well it's sort of rain deals not if you're a crows fan though.
00:14:38
Speaker 18: No no nick murray they held firm didn't they um north melbourne came really really hard at the key defender but uh i think jared roughhead the list manager said in the end that they're in a win now phase and didn't want to i guess be exposed in the back end uh next year so they've held on to nick murray contracted for two years north melbourne's offer was pretty compelling but in the end uh They held firm for 10 days.
00:15:02
Speaker 3: They'd been holding firm. In isolation, it would have been highway robbery if the Crows did that deal. It was a massive value. It is confusing the messages coming out, Corey, and you're obviously following it very closely, reporting on it for nine, because you had Neil Balm coming out saying, look, this is a list that's not quite where we need it to be, and we're going to expose some more young players next year. And you say, okay, well, then Walker out the door, Peddler out the door, Butts out the door and replacing him with draft picks. That sort of fits. Then you've got Jared Ruffhead saying, we can't get rid of Nick Murray. We're in a win now mode. So are you clear on what is 2027 for the Adelaide Football Club?
00:15:35
Speaker 18: Well, for me, I think, look, I think win now means you've got to get talent into the club to make yourself better, to give yourself a chance of moving up the ladder and playing in bigger finals. And they didn't do that. They missed out on Zach Bailey in Brisbane, but I thought they had an opportunity to go for plan B, C, D. And they didn't do that. And So, win now phase, I'm not sure what it means, and I'm not sure the club knows what it means at the moment.
00:16:02
Speaker 3: Especially when you look at what the clubs around them did, the Bulldogs and Hawthorne and some of their immediate rivals looked seriously good. Geelong. Geelong, yeah, absolutely. Port Adelaide, a different part of the building list process, but... My goodness, they smashed out of the park. They were the big winners, weren't they, of the trade period. Stacey's happy.
00:16:21
Speaker 5: I saw Koshi last night. He was very happy.
00:16:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, I bet.
00:16:24
Speaker 18: Look, they lose their best player in Zach Butters, but they're able to, I guess, turn that loss now into some big wins over the next few years. Splitting that pick yesterday allows them to get hold of Zeme's pilot and Louis Salopek next year. Of course, Dougie Cochran comes in into calculation this year. So they're set perfectly for the next five to ten years.
00:16:45
Speaker 10: Yeah.
00:16:45
Speaker 5: Just need to hope for fewer injuries.
00:16:47
Speaker 7: Yes.
00:16:48
Speaker 3: Well, I was chatting with our Melbourne correspondent, Dave Lloyd, last night, and he made the point that he's super excited for 2030. I don't want to job you here, Dave, but it's going to be the next 120 games. It'll be a little bit hard to get through. But the long-term future is bright. Absolutely.
00:17:08
Speaker 18: And Jason Cripps, the list boss, has done a wonderful job over the last few years, but they've certainly set themselves up now for, For the future and a golden handshake between the Crows and Power in the last minute of the trade period with Luke Pedler going to Port Adelaide, just the eighth player to cross town.
00:17:25
Speaker 3: Are you happy it's over, Corey? Yeah, I think so. Do you find it tedious reporting on it? Yeah, I do.
00:17:30
Speaker 18: Probably five or six years ago, I thought I'd had enough. I'd seen my last trade period. No, look, I've been energised by, I think just, I like the drama of the trade period, the last day. And look, it's probably a little bit manufactured by the AFL that way.
00:17:46
Speaker 3: Totally.
00:17:46
Speaker 18: But I enjoy it, like the fans do as well.
00:17:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, good stuff. Good on you guys. Thank you. Appreciate it.
00:18:02
Speaker 2: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:18:07
Speaker 3: 22 minutes to 7, so just during the news break, we've been in touch with the state government regarding Keith's call on SA Water and the Highbury situation where there's been a host of homes there without water and will not have water until at least 10am this morning. So we'll get a response from them and let you know. Keith and everyone else more broadly affected when we do get that very, very shortly.
00:18:26
Speaker 5: Very frustrating. I know power outages suck and you don't have any notice for either of these things. But to not be able to reserve some water for the toilet, for drinking.
00:18:36
Speaker 3: Well, as was it, Peter and Moody said, not being able to flush your toilet. Yeah. That's almost a human right, I think. Maybe it is a human right. Access to clean water.
00:18:46
Speaker 14: Now.
00:18:47
Speaker 3: Let's put in some more eateries, shall we, into the 5AA Breakfast Michelin Guide. The Michelin Guide came out last night. We're doing our companion version this morning, which is more local, which is cheaper and more delicious. That's the way we're selling it. Anyway, 8223 0000 or text us on 04808 1395. Multiple prizes will give away for this this morning, including, as Stacey pointed out, a Lucky Dumpling Market voucher that features some Michelin star awarded food truck equivalents of the restaurants that won them. And also we've got a ticket to this wonderful country music show, Country Royalty as well. Chuck a few in, Stace. What are people saying?
00:19:21

00:19:46
Speaker 5: Claire is getting a lot of love. was given one star last night, is in Clare. And their bookings, their booking site crashed after they were announced.
00:19:56
Speaker 3: That's amazing.
00:19:56
Speaker 5: You couldn't make a booking last night at Skilligalee. It was the Skilligalee Barrel House, which is at the winery. Raymond on the text line says, Stacks Burgers at Golden Grove. Best burgers and fries this side of the Black Stump. And Andrew in Mount Barker, we have two Bar Mee places in Mount Barker, Bar Mee and Taste Bar Mee. Taste Bar Mee is the more popular one and it's the better one. Their pork is fantastic.
00:20:25
Speaker 3: That's the level of knowledge we need. Granular detail on the two Bar Mee joints near you. That text is in the running to win a prize this morning. Do we do, Carolyn? You just mentioned Roland Bauer. No, not yet. I just wanted to echo Carolyn's sentiments with regard to Roland Bauer. Bar me, Luxor. Spectacular. She's listed a whole bunch of others in the Western suburbs. Stun Mullet at Henley Beach too, which is legendary in the area.
00:20:49
Speaker 5: Madam Woo on the parade. That's a good one.
00:20:51
Speaker 3: Madam Woo parade. Tudka at Semaphore. I'm not familiar with that one, Carol, but thank you. Some terrific. suggestions there as well. Keep them coming in and you'll be in the running to win prizes. Our guide is starting to thicken out, which is terrific. Tomorrow is Restart a Heart Day. St John Ambulance SA CEO Steve Morris joins us. Steve, good morning. What is Restart a Heart Day?
00:21:16
Speaker 19: You there, Steve?
00:21:18
Speaker 20: Yeah, sorry, you just broke up slightly.
00:21:19
Speaker 21: Yeah, look, we're really focused on how we save the lives of South Australians from cardiac arrest. Look, in South Australia, we made really big strides with mandating defibrillators in public places. But what we're really trying to do is kind of build confidence and skills of people to act, because the worst thing you can do when somebody has a suspected cardiac arrest is to do nothing. And so what we're trying to do is emphasize, really do what you can, learn some skills and intervene if you're able to help.
00:21:49
Speaker 3: Is the prevailing advice these days, Steve, if someone's suffering cardiac arrest in front of you, there's a defibrillator nearby, you should just try your best to use it whether you are trained or not?
00:22:01
Speaker 21: Yeah, so there's three simple messages really. We say if somebody's got a suspected cardiac arrest, which is if somebody collapses, they're non-responsive and they have breathing difficulties, then we go call, push, shock. So call 000. Push is CPR and shock is to use an available defibrillator. And look, they're very straightforward to use defibrillators. They give you instructions when you switch the thing on and you can't do any harm by giving a shock. It will only shock if it detects a heart rhythm which can be corrected. So core message is just do something. The worst thing to do is nothing.
00:22:39
Speaker 5: And it's been, what, about a year since that legislation passed Parliament to do with the defibrillators. How have you found it going? Do we have access to enough of them in public areas in South Australia?
00:22:50
Speaker 21: Yeah, we have really good access in South Australia because of the legislation. Obviously, there's more we can do. And as an organisation, we've just produced a pocket AED, which really is the size of a Coke can. which provides, I suppose, the ability to use in more difficult areas where there isn't that community access. So you can basically take an AED around with you, which is really helpful, obviously, in country areas and people going travelling, so you have real access to an AED that may not be just on a wall.
00:23:18
Speaker 2: Hmm.
00:23:21
Speaker 3: Well, it's an important message, Steve, and making the life-saving technology and the approach to it more accessible and easier for people is a really important one to spread. So good on you guys for doing that. Steve Morris, the SA CEO of St John Ambulance. Let's put some more people in the running to win tickets to country royalty and the voucher to the Lucky Dumpling Market, shall we, by nominating entries for the 5AA Breakfast Michelin Guide. Russell and Blake's Crossing, what have you got for us?
00:23:47
Speaker 22: Good morning, guys. Carmine & Co.
00:23:50
Speaker 4: Down at Port Adelaide.
00:23:51
Speaker 5: Oh, yes. Yeah.
00:23:53
Speaker 22: I mean, the family's been there for a while. And not only is the first of the buildings, the old bank, you've got the vaults in there.
00:24:02
Speaker 4: It's just a sense of space.
00:24:04
Speaker 3: And if you go there late, you never know, Carmine sometimes comes and joins you for a drink afterwards, which is always fun.
00:24:09
Speaker 4: Well, he does.
00:24:09
Speaker 22: And also, too, one of his favourites, I had some clients over from the UK, their tour of Mizzou is to come away.
00:24:16
Speaker 3: That's a good one. Port Adelaide's having a food moment. I think Low and Slow got one of the recommendations last night.
00:24:21
Speaker 5: And Dave would be proud of me. La Popula Taqueria was also one of the recommendations.
00:24:27
Speaker 3: That was a Bib Gourmand, I think, wasn't it?
00:24:28
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think so.
00:24:29
Speaker 3: I think it was, which is, we've had them on the program before. I think we gave away their cookbook. On at the ground floor, 5AA Breakfast, before they became globally popular. Mike in O'Sullivan Beach, good morning.
00:24:41
Speaker 19: Yeah, g'day. The Victory Hotel down at Selix Beach, in the front bar, they do a pork belly. I eat that every day. That is the best meal by far.
00:24:51
Speaker 3: You eat there every day, Mike?
00:24:53
Speaker 5: The pork belly every day?
00:24:55
Speaker 23: Sorry?
00:24:56
Speaker 5: The pork belly every day.
00:24:57
Speaker 19: No, not the pork belly. I eat at different pubs.
00:25:00
Speaker 9: Oh, do you?
00:25:00
Speaker 3: You need to release, like, a coffee table book, Mike.
00:25:03
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:25:04
Speaker 19: No, it's just the best meal. It's $ 32. It's a bit expensive in the front bar, but it's worth it. It's owned by the same people that own the Star of Greece.
00:25:13
Speaker 5: Yeah, great wine list, too, at the Victory Hotel.
00:25:15
Speaker 3: Victory is just an iconic spot. That's a good one, Mike. Tony, this one will be controversial, not because these chips aren't good, but calling anywhere the best chips is contested. He says Chicken Chef needs a star for the best chips in Radelaide. Lobethal Beer House needs a star for the best buffalo wings outside of the United States. And Munchies in Parahills deserves three stars for burgers, popcorn, chicken, and their mac and cheese balls. Tony, that was superb. Should have called in, Tony. You would have been in the running to win the tickets or the voucher. That was terrific. All right, let's park that for just a moment. We'll check weather and we'll come back with some more of your entries very shortly. Daniel Sherwin-Simpson at the Weather Bureau joins us. Morning, Daniel.
00:25:55
Speaker 17: Morning.
00:25:56
Speaker 24: G'day Will and Stacey.
00:25:57
Speaker 3: Warming up a bit this Thursday?
00:25:59
Speaker 24: Yeah, pretty good for today. Going up for a top of 22. We got down to around 11 overnight. Probably going to be a mostly sunny day. There's a little bit of cloud hanging around over the lofties, but that should start to clear out over the next couple of hours. As we move into tomorrow, warming up to 25 and the weekend's looking great. 27, there will be a bit of cloud about on Saturday and then Sunday at 29. So, Great weather for the Bay to Birdwood if you're going to that one. Really no weather complaints over the next five days or so. We get up to 29 on Monday. Things could become a bit changeable sort of mid-next week, but there's still a lot of uncertainty in that forecast. I can't imagine we're going to get any massive downpours, but there could just be a little bit more of that wet weather coming in next week. But, yeah, for the next five days or so, I reckon no complaints weather-wise.
00:26:46
Speaker 5: Sounds good to me.
00:26:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, brilliant. Thank you, Daniel. Daniel Sherwin-Simpson at the Weather Bureau. Let's head to SAPOL. Senior Constable Daniel Isaacson's on the line. Daniel, a man's been arrested in Salisbury for weapon offences. What does that mean?
00:26:58
Speaker 17: Well, about 9.30 last night, police stopped a cyclist on Gawler Street after seeing him riding without a bicycle light. While speaking with the man, police saw a baseball bat inside his backpack and also saw that the man had a knife strapped to his chest. A subsequent search located Balaclava Drugs and Drug Paraphernalia. The 27-year-old Parafield Gardens man was arrested and charged with four counts of carrying an offensive weapon, possessing an article of disguise and drug offences. He's been bailed to attend the Elizabeth Magistrates Court at a later date.
00:27:29
Speaker 5: Okay. Not sure why anyone ever needs a knife strapped to their chest. It's unusual.
00:27:33
Speaker 17: No, absolutely not.
00:27:35
Speaker 5: Let's go to Malvin. Daniel, what happened there last night?
00:27:37
Speaker 17: 11.30 last night, police were called to Unley Road after reports a Holden SUV had left the roadway, mounted the footpath and crashed into a traffic light. Patrols attended and located the driver who had caused significant damage to his car, but very luckily was uninjured. The driver, a 41-year-old interstate man, underwent a breath test and returned a positive reading of 0.164, so more than three times the legal limit there. He was reported for drink driving, driving without due care... and he was issued a 12-month loss of licence notice. He'll be summoned to appear in the magistrate's court at a later.
00:28:14
Speaker 9: Date as well.
00:28:14
Speaker 3: Crazy. And just lastly, Daniel, a man's been arrested at the scene of a fire at Modbury.
00:28:20
Speaker 17: Yeah, about 4am today, emergency services were called to a unit on Reservoir Road after reports of a fire. As police arrived at the scene, they saw a man acting aggressively who had allegedly been throwing items into the fire before he attempted to leave the area. The 42-year-old Modbury man was stopped by police and arrested. He's been charged with hindering and acts endangering life. Another person at the scene was treated for smoke inhalation, but there are no other injuries reported. Fire cause investigators will attend later on this morning to determine the cause of the fire, so we're just asking if anybody has any information about this, give us a call on Crimestoppers on 1800 333 000. Alright, good on you, Daniel.
00:29:01
Speaker 3: Thank you. Senior Constable Daniel Isaacson there from SAFE. What was going on last night? It was a bit Was it full moon?
00:29:07
Speaker 5: Seems like it.
00:29:08
Speaker 3: Seems like it. Let's go to Camden Park and get a hidden gem for the 5AA Breakfast Michelin Guide. Joe, what have you got?
00:29:15
Speaker 25: Yeah, g'day, guys. I know, like, everyone's got a Vietnamese taste and they've got their special sort of places they go and they race, but Miss Bar Mee, opposite Brighton High School on Brighton Road, is clearly the best Vietnamese takeaway you can ever get. Their pork belly... is Barossa Fine Food Meat. Their cold rolls are packed. They do this little salt and pepper mushrooms, their rolls, their salads. You can say, you know, like me, I'm trying to lose some weight for summer, trying to get that summer body back. And if I want to get a noodle salad, I replace the noodles with their sautéed vegetables and salad, mate, they are unbelievable. Do yourself a favour. Miss Barmy, you will never go wrong.
00:30:04
Speaker 3: Oh, magnificent work, Jo.
00:30:05
Speaker 5: If you don't already have shares, they should give you some because you convinced me to make the journey.
00:30:09
Speaker 3: Jo, you should be in sales. That was terrific. Jo, you're in the running in the process, too, to win the country royalty tickets or the Lucky Dumpling Market voucher. There'll be two winners this morning for spruiking your local food goodness and adding it to the 5AA Breakfast Michelin Guide voucher. The actual Michelin Guide, of course, was updated with South Australian restaurants, Australian restaurants for the first time, all here in SA. And we'll be chatting with one of the one-star winners, Maxwell's, on the other side of this break.
00:30:36
Speaker 1: 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.
00:30:44
Speaker 2: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:30:48
Speaker 3: Six to seven. A word of warning, don't listen to the program this morning on an empty stomach because it is a celebration of food. We are, of course, inspired by the development last night about the awarding of Michelin stars to restaurants here in South Australia, in this state, and indeed this country for the very first time. But it's inspired us to compile our own food guide of wonderful local eateries, and we are loving the local intel we're getting. Susanna in Aldgate has called in. You guys are Well and truly in the Allgate area, Susanna, got a lot of great options. What have you got for us?
00:31:20
Speaker 11: Well, actually, I volunteer elsewhere. And on a weekly basis, I eat at 77 on Maringi Avenue, Camden Park.
00:31:32
Speaker 24: Oh.
00:31:33
Speaker 11: It's actually the number seven and then a T and then seven. And they have the best Vietnamese I've tasted anywhere.
00:31:45
Speaker 14: Seriously.
00:31:46
Speaker 11: From bao buns to cold rolls to the Asian dessert to the pho. I've tried everything on that menu and everything's exquisite. I used to go to the Central Market to eat every week. And since they've done it all up and we have a lot of places have closed, Yeah.
00:32:10
Speaker 3: Susanna, that's a great recommendation. And, you know, it goes to something we were observing during the break, Stace. Vietnamese food, cuisine, is incredibly popular at the moment.
00:32:19
Speaker 5: So popular.
00:32:20
Speaker 3: I would suggest about half of the entries we've had have been in relation to Vietnamese cuisine, which is really quite interesting.
00:32:27
Speaker 5: It's great to see.
00:32:28
Speaker 3: That's what people are really into. I'll tell you what they're going to be really into, and that is our now globally recognised restaurateurs, restaurants here in South Australia like Maxwell's, I revealed a little bit earlier. I keep having to catch myself not saying which birthday my mother had there, but we got to go there once and it was a big one and it was such a treat because I've got to say, Fabian Lehman, who joins us now, congratulations to you on the one star. I would give you three stars if I was on that judging panel. The best fine dining experience I've had in South Australia. Good morning and congratulations to you, Fabian.
00:33:04
Speaker 26: Good morning.
00:33:04
Speaker 13: Thank you so much.
00:33:05
Speaker 8: Thank you.
00:33:05
Speaker 13: Thank you for having me.
00:33:06
Speaker 5: Fabian, has it sunk in yet? I know last night it seemed like it was a surprise and you were pretty emotional up on stage. How are you feeling this morning?
00:33:14
Speaker 13: Still the same, to be honest. It's been a big night and no, it hasn't really sunk in yet. It's been a big night and I think I woke up this morning. I tried to ignore my phone last night and I woke up to about, I don't know, 150 notifications on my phone. I think it's going to be another big day today.
00:33:35
Speaker 5: Do you do any preparation ahead of the Michelin guide to sort of prep your website or get more staff just in case you make the list or would that be counting your chickens before they hatch?
00:33:49
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think everybody's obviously hoping for the best result and everyone is hoping for getting a star. We haven't done anything yet, so we haven't hired yet, but it's definitely on the card because it is. definitely increasing your bookings and the.
00:34:06
Speaker 12: Capacities of restaurants.
00:34:07
Speaker 13: So, yeah, I think that will be definitely on the table today.
00:34:11
Speaker 3: You've worked, Fabian, at Michelin star restaurants in Europe before. How does the South Australian food scene compare to our international counterparts?
00:34:22
Speaker 13: Oh, it holds its own. It's absolutely amazing. I've been up here for... 11 years now, and the produce, especially around the hills, McLaren Vale, is just outstanding. Like, there are so many small, great producers. The quality of chefs, of creative people, of wine, it's outstanding.
00:34:43
Speaker 5: And something I noticed last night, a lot of the restaurants that were honoured are at wineries. Obviously, yours and McGill Estate and LVN and Skilligalee in the Clare Valley, which... I guess just proves how good our wine regions are. And it's great to get those tourists who are going to come for the Michelin restaurants like yours, Maxwell's in McLaren Vale, to get those tourists to those wine regions too because we are proud of it. So it'll be great to see the world recognise it.
00:35:13
Speaker 13: Yeah, and ultimately the full experience is food and wine. So they both just go hand in hand. And yeah, if you do it right, you do both, a food and wine match.
00:35:23
Speaker 3: How did you go getting up this morning for this interview, Fabian? Were you guys out celebrating last night?
00:35:28
Speaker 13: Yeah, a little bit, but I did taste myself.
00:35:33
Speaker 3: Well, you can get to bed now. Congratulations to you again. It's a remarkable honour. Delighted you got one, and thanks for joining us this morning.
00:35:40
Speaker 13: Thank you so much.
00:35:41
Speaker 24: Thank you.
00:35:41
Speaker 3: Fabian Lehman from Maxwell, which is, again, as you say, a winery. They do that They did a Mead there as well, I think. They're famous for it and now famous for their wonderful restaurant where the one star was awarded last night.
00:35:53
Speaker 5: And this is something I think will make South Australia stand out on the world stage compared to other Michelin-starred restaurants. Usually it's a restaurant and then the wine list accompanies the food, whereas here, that list I just rattled off of restaurants and wineries, it starts with the wine and then the food accompanies most of the time. and very well, clearly, but it'll get people to those wine regions, which is what we want because we should be proud of it.
00:36:20
Speaker 3: It is a fantastic point. All right, 5AA news time. We're going to keep our entries to our own 5AA Breakfast Michelin Guide running all morning, which means there are two prizes up for grabs. Call in and tell us about your local delicacy, your local food place that you've been to, whether it's buying a finger bun, a bar and me, a coffee, or I don't know, whatever it might well be, a nut bar. It doesn't matter. You can nominate them all for the 5AA Breakfast Michelin Guide. and we'll award the winners over the course.
00:36:46
Speaker 1: Of the week. Knockdown Bill 2 with Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment.
00:36:52
Speaker 5: Metro Homes, they do.
00:36:54
Speaker 1: It all for you.
00:36:55
Speaker 2: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:37:00
Speaker 3: Six after seven. Good morning, team. You're joining us for the first time on this Thursday, the 15th of October. It has been a culinary delight, 5AA Breakfast this morning. Of course, inspired by the Michelin Guide revealing that we have a host of Michelin-starred restaurants here in South Australia. We are asking you to fill our guide with your hidden gems around Adelaide and South Australia, your local favourites, your suburban place we get yummy food, cheap food, places you go regularly, maybe places you go for a treat. It's been a remarkable collection of food that we've already put in the book. Keep calling 8223 0000 or text us on 044-808-1395. And you could win yourself two tickets to Country Royalty at Her Majesty's Theatre. If you love your country music, you love Johnny Cash or Patsy Cline, people like that, you're going to love this show. And also the Lucky Dumpling Market voucher, which is on until the 1st of November. Visit LuckyDumplingMarket.com. And in the process, you can actually sample some food that is from restaurants that won Michelin stars. So it's a very fitting prize for this. A couple of prizes. We'll continue to take them over the course of the morning. In a moment, we'll be chatting with the Ambulance Association who have said, and I want to get this right, the Ambulance Employees Association, their position is unequivocal. Ramping is preventable, dangerous and unacceptable. Yeah, I think we all agree with that.
00:38:18
Speaker 5: Yep.
00:38:19
Speaker 3: We'll be chatting with them about that in just a moment. Also coming up, Matt Abraham will determine the week's biggest louver. And then a little bit later in the morning, you're going to want to have a listen to this, The CEO of CODA, Patricia Sparrow, is going to be on the program talking about a remarkable moment in federal parliament yesterday where the Greens and the Coalition and the crossbenchers all teamed up in the Senate to block changes to the over 65s private health rebate that was being removed. They blocked a host of other stuff too, but the headliner for you folks this morning is that one got blocked. Mark Butler said, well, I'm going to just introduce it in the lower house. It doesn't matter. This thing's coming in. We try to get a sense of what the passage looks like after that point, and we'll talk about what changes might be able to be made with Patricia after 8 o'clock today because that's going to be a big, big story, that one.
00:39:08
Speaker 5: It will.
00:39:09
Speaker 3: Have we got any texts we can do?
00:39:11
Speaker 5: I do like this text. We were talking before the news about our wine region's Nell says, we should be proud of our wine regions. Wasn't Will about to trade one out yesterday? I'm so traumatised I can't even remember what for.
00:39:24
Speaker 9: Look, Nell.
00:39:26
Speaker 3: Yes, Nell.
00:39:26
Speaker 5: We prefer if you don't have long memories.
00:39:28
Speaker 3: That's right. So what do they say in the newspaper business? It's tomorrow's fish and chip wrapping. In radio, it's even less. Hey, I got into the spirit. If you've got to give something to get something in our trade period. Yesterday was trade period. Today's Michelin Guide Day. So we've moved on.
00:39:42
Speaker 5: We've moved on, Nell. Thanks for that, though.
00:39:45
Speaker 3: All right. Let's chat with Paul Eccleboom, the Secretary of the AMBO's Union in South Australia. Paul, good morning. Your forthright statement on ramping and how unacceptable it is might have been better time during an election campaign, mightn't.
00:40:01
Speaker 12: It? Look, I think it's about highlighting where the state of play is at the moment. We've had investment in the last, from the previous election, and you need that to play out to see exactly where you're at. We're in dire straits at the moment, and we've had three months of.
00:40:18
Speaker 3: Did you think it was going all right in the lead up to the last election? It was probably the biggest talking point.
00:40:24
Speaker 12: It was a talking point, but we had some significant investment from the government at the time. But this is the only government that actually did invest. But what we do need to see now is that we need further investment. The one and done won't solve the ramping, won't solve the health system. And we need to make sure that we're doing the right thing by our communities to make sure that they're getting evils on time.
00:40:51
Speaker 5: So what do you hope to achieve by releasing a position statement six months into a four-year term after the election commitments have already been made?
00:41:03
Speaker 12: We want to see, if we plan now, before we get to the next election, we'll be able to see some meaningful change. We've got a new CEO of health. And she's coming in with some ideas about how we're going to try and improve the system. But I mean, this isn't an election or a political statement. This is about making people aware about where our health system is right now and trying to make the changes that we possibly can. We're saying right now that we're not responding to our people in the community and that's impacting everyone. they're carrying all the risk at the moment for a understaffed or under-resourced health system that is starting to get to them on time.
00:41:47
Speaker 3: It got political when you guys drove around with chalked-up ambos four and a half years ago during an election campaign, hence the association, and we had a government that ran on fixing ramping, and here we are having the same conversation. How would you... You've got a blank cheque. How are you fixing it?
00:42:02
Speaker 12: How am I fixing it? Jeez, I'll build another three hospitals. That'd be fantastic if you gave me a blank cheque.
00:42:06
Speaker 7: But.
00:42:07
Speaker 3: But if that's what it's going to take, it's not getting fixed any time soon, is it?
00:42:10
Speaker 12: It's not going to get fixed any time soon. But in the short term, you know, if we look at people in the community, we need some greater resources so we can actually respond to them in a timely fashion. So currently our priority two lights and sirens jobs, you know, 50% of the time we get in the required time frame. So one in two. In our urgent cases, one in three. So we don't have those resources available to actually respond to them in a timely fashion. In Tasmania over the weekend, you saw a lower priority case that had to drive themselves to hospital, went into cardiac arrest because there was no available ambulances. We don't want to see that again. And as the statistics are sort of coming back down again with our response times, we're going to see people in the community that are not going to get an ambulance on time. So we're quite fearful that we need to change this. It's not about... Elections and anything else like that. It's about what the community needs and that's what we try to represent and speak for.
00:43:08
Speaker 5: So will you be chalking ambulances to get the message heard?
00:43:13
Speaker 12: If the government doesn't sort of take notice on it, then I'm at the behest of what our members want to try and achieve.
00:43:22
Speaker 6: They're frustrated.
00:43:24
Speaker 12: Their goodwill has now come to its end and they're not doing the jobs that they should be doing. There's a lot of injuries that they're sustaining. It is not what they've signed up for. It's impacting everyone that's in the ambulance service at the moment. And sadly, we're going to patients that should have been seen hours earlier. We're having extremely long delays and it needs to be freed up. So By us having this policy statement, this is what we're going to stand behind until things change because things do need to change. We ourselves, we've been asking for years now on getting transit wards at the front of the hospitals that we can actually offload patients in a timely fashion and get back into the community. And I raised this in July last year about with the previous health minister, what are the barriers? What are we actually trying to achieve? And, you know, people are being transferred through from regional. Is there enough regional resources? Is there enough regional staffing? Do we need to get more expertise out in our regional areas so people are getting care at the first time in the right place? Nothing has changed. So, you know, we're asking all political parties to have a policy on this because whatever modelling we've done over the last three to four years isn't working and we need greater investment.
00:44:46
Speaker 3: Paul Eccleboom, the Secretary of the AMBOS Union here in South Australia. Thanks for your time this morning. A few texts coming through on that front. We might read a few of those out in a moment. 04808 1395. You can always call in and have your say as well, folks. We love having a chat with you on 8223 0000, like we're about to have with Linda in Heathfield, who's nominating a hidden food gem for us as we compile our 5AA Breakfast Michelin Guide. Morning, Linda.
00:45:11
Speaker 26: Good morning. Yeah, because I'm a local girl, I like to keep all the local, you know, little nooks and crannies going. Mine is Dirty Doris in Orgate.
00:45:23
Speaker 27: So good.
00:45:24
Speaker 26: It's the atmosphere, the little creek that runs at the back. You know, it's just rustic. They throw in some new dishes every now and then. Yeah, just, you know, from your pancakes to your steaks to your burgers and your chips, and it's just mouth-watering. And I go there every week. And if it's just for a coffee and cake with my girlfriend on a Saturday morning, oh, absolutely the best.
00:45:51
Speaker 3: Beautiful, Linda. Great suggestion. Do Hills people know how lucky they are?
00:45:54
Speaker 21: No.
00:45:55
Speaker 3: They don't, do they?
00:45:56
Speaker 2: No.
00:45:56
Speaker 5: Well, no, I think they do, and they're very proud of it.
00:45:59
Speaker 3: Everything looks nice. The aesthetic's beautiful.
00:46:03
Speaker 5: Dirty Doris is great.
00:46:04
Speaker 3: The quality of stuff. Linda's description of the creek at the back. Yeah, I know they're proud of you Hills folks. You just don't know how good you've got it when it comes to food options.
00:46:16
Speaker 5: They do the best Bloody Mary there.
00:46:18
Speaker 3: Do they?
00:46:18
Speaker 15: Oh.
00:46:20
Speaker 3: Might be a few Bloody Marys required from a few of the chefs that won last night.
00:46:23
Speaker 14: Yes.
00:46:23
Speaker 3: Thank you, Linda. Yours is well and truly in the 5AA Breakfast Michelin Guide, and you are in the running to win tickets to Country Royalty and the Lucky Dumpling Market.
00:46:31
Speaker 5: By the way, after 8 o'clock, we're going to hear from Scott Huggins from McGill Estate, which was the only restaurant to get the two-star.
00:46:38
Speaker 3: Two-star around the world puts you in pretty rare company.
00:46:41
Speaker 5: I was looking into this. So the three-star is the highest honour Michelin gives out. It is extremely rare, very, very rare to get a three-star in the first year of the Michelin Guide. And on average, it takes four years for a city or country to get a three-star restaurant.
00:46:57
Speaker 3: Have we got a five-year deal with Michelin?
00:46:58
Speaker 5: Five-year deal.
00:46:59
Speaker 3: Okay, well, that's good news then.
00:47:01
Speaker 5: All right.
00:47:02
Speaker 3: We're going to take a break. We'll check traffic back in a moment.
00:47:04
Speaker 17: Morning.
00:47:04
Speaker 1: 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.
00:47:13
Speaker 2: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:47:17
Speaker 3: 20 minutes after seven, a lot of texts on ramping coming through. A call as well from Diane in St Clere. Morning, Diane.
00:47:25
Speaker 14: Oh, good morning.
00:47:27
Speaker 28: Look, for whatever reason, whenever the Labor government's in office, which is all the time in South Australia, no chalking on any ambulance. Soon as the Liberals get in, everything's chalked all over the place. I mean, it is just ridiculous. I mean, someone's got to call that out and say, you know, where's the fairness here? It's worse under Labor. everything's worse under Labor. I mean, interest rates, everything's worse under Labor, and yet somehow the people have not woken up.
00:47:58
Speaker 5: It did seem interesting, Diane, that the union didn't come out with their mission statement before the election, and they're doing it now six months after, once all the funding commitments have been made, after state budget this year. There is no reason for it to come out now that is a financial reason that would have an impact on the policies.
00:48:19
Speaker 3: There's no reason for it to come out now If you genuinely care about getting something changed. And look, our listeners, to give you some sense of how poorly timed this is, our listeners universally will agree with the ambos. It needs to be fixed. It's a disgrace it hasn't been fixed. And every single person says that statement being put out today is an embarrassment.
00:48:43
Speaker 5: I just have to read this text. I think it's anonymous. We love our hills, but shh, don't tell too many. On another note, I work for SA Health, and when Mally was elected, we were excited and finally had hope that our unbearable work life would finally improve, but unfortunately not. It's actually worse. They had one job, fix ramping, but yeah, nah, he hasn't.
00:49:04
Speaker 3: Alison has got a thought on this and indeed has a hidden gem nomination for us. Alison, that's excellent. We love it when people combine two topics.
00:49:13
Speaker 4: Good morning.
00:49:14
Speaker 27: Oh yeah, great. I think the ambulance ought to just drop the patients off into marquees at the front of the hospital, like COVID, that they're at transport service. They're not a hospital bed. And maybe things would change then. So put the patients in the marquees. leave it to the hospital. That's my thoughts on that. But I'm in Aldinga Beach. Pearl, it's right on the ocean, overlooks the beautiful Aldinga Bay. You can do breakfast, the best coffee in South Australia. But also, look, if the Michelin chefs haven't been there, there's seriously something wrong with the whole competition because they do the most innovative, different seafood dishes.
00:49:56
Speaker 7: And.
00:49:58
Speaker 27: Yeah, they just match beautiful local wines, so I highly recommend Pearl.
00:50:02
Speaker 3: Well done, Alison.
00:50:03
Speaker 5: It did make the list, Alison. It didn't get a star, but I think it was either on the Bib Gourmand list or the Michelin Recommends.
00:50:11
Speaker 3: Which is the total list.
00:50:13
Speaker 5: I think it was the Recommends.
00:50:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Recommends list is terrific. Keep them coming in, folks. Our list is starting to take shape as well. Your nominations for Local Excellence in the World of Food. Cheap, secret, fun, could be one item that you think is the best of the best. Get nominating, 8223 0000. We'll give away those tickets by the end of the program.
00:50:34
Speaker 5: Well, we were talking earlier, Will, about how the Coalition and the Greens joined forces in Federal Parliament about the over-65s rebate.
00:50:43
Speaker 3: The private health rebate.
00:50:44
Speaker 5: It happened in State Parliament as well. The Greens, the Liberal Party and One Nation all joined forces in the Upper House last night. Robert Sims is Greens MLC and it was to do with his bill that was presented. So good morning to you, Robert Sims.
00:50:59
Speaker 8: Good morning, Stacey and Will.
00:51:01
Speaker 5: What bill was this for?
00:51:03
Speaker 8: So this is a bill to add the Adelaide Parklands to the State Heritage Register. It's actually the third time that this bill has passed over three different parliaments. So it passed first under the Marshall government just before the election and it was supported then by the Labor Party when they were in opposition. I then reintroduced the bill straight after the last election. Labor changed their tune. They were no longer in support of it. And then I've reintroduced it again now under the new Malinowskis government, second term, and it's passed the upper house with support of the Liberals and One Nation. And so now it's over to the Malinowskis government to back it in the lower house and let's finally get this done.
00:51:46
Speaker 5: So that's interesting. The Labor Party voted for it in opposition, but once they got in government, changed their mind.
00:51:52
Speaker 13: Yes, it is, isn't it?
00:51:53
Speaker 5: What does the bill actually achieve? What are you hoping to do?
00:51:56
Speaker 8: So the bill adds the Adelaide Parklands and the city plan onto the State Heritage Register, and that would provide more protection for the parklands. It means that any kind of development on the parklands has to be in keeping with its character and And if it's not, then that can require legislative change. And we saw, of course, what happened when the government tried to destroy the police barracks to accommodate the new hospital. They were able to do that, but they had to get special legislation through the parliament to override the heritage protection. So it adds an extra layer of protection. And I think a lot of South Australians are demanding that at the moment. They're pretty aghast at what's been going on with MotoGP. The parklands have national heritage protection, but they haven't had state. In fact, they've had national protection for 20 years. It makes sense that state protection is added. And then, of course, this also builds the case for world heritage listing protection as well.
00:52:58
Speaker 3: Robert Sims, I'm just trying to imagine how this would apply in the context of the MotoGP, had this been in place. Would it actually prevent the government from doing it, or would it just prolong the process? Look, I think.
00:53:11
Speaker 8: There's a pretty strong case to say that MotoGP, because it's going to have such a dramatic impact on the character of the park lands, wouldn't be consistent with state heritage listings, or the plans would need to be significantly modified and scaled back. And that's the real benefit that flows from estate heritage protection. Adding something to the register does mean that there's a pretty strong level of protection around that land and its character. So, yeah, if we'd had this in place before MotoGP, then I think there would have been a bit of a scaled back version. Might I say, this is why the Malinowski government's against the listing, because they want to be able to continue to use it as a land bank without having appropriate safeguards in place.
00:53:57
Speaker 3: What about the Oban Tunnel?
00:54:00
Speaker 8: Yeah, and look, that might have been something where, again, there was a ruler cast over that. But might I say the plans there were actually significantly scaled back to be more in keeping with the character of the park lands. You know, it's got some greening and stuff like that over the top of it too. So it doesn't mean you can't have any development, but it does mean you've got to demonstrate that it's in keeping with the character of the land and the area that you're trying to protect.
00:54:26
Speaker 3: Okay.
00:54:27
Speaker 5: Thank you for your time this morning, Robert Sims.
00:54:29
Speaker 3: Must be something in the water with all these parties teaming up at the moment.
00:54:33
Speaker 5: It's the first time, I think, that One Nation and the Greens and the Liberal Party have voted together in state parliament under this new regime.
00:54:39
Speaker 3: Ode to be a fly on the wall for those conversations. Who reaches out? Mind you, it's all much more cordial behind the scenes than it is on camera.
00:54:46
Speaker 13: Yeah.
00:54:46
Speaker 3: So it's actually not that surprising. Ben, congratulations to you, Ben. Ben says, I made Michelin star toast this morning. I don't want to brag, but the butter to Vegemite ratio was perfect.
00:54:55
Speaker 5: Now, that is hard.
00:54:57
Speaker 3: That is, that is. Yeah, I... Fair play to Ben for wanting to brag about it, because that does feel like an achievement.
00:55:02
Speaker 5: It is hard to get that ratio perfect, so well done to you, Ben.
00:55:05
Speaker 3: All right, we're going to take a break. 5AA news coming up. Matt Abraham with us next to determine the week's biggest loser.
00:55:14
Speaker 1: 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.
00:55:22
Speaker 2: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:55:28
Speaker 3: All is up.
00:55:29
Speaker 24: Up.
00:55:29
Speaker 19: I'm bugging you.
00:55:32
Speaker 16: This is Democracy Manifest.
00:55:36
Speaker 28: They're eating the dogs.
00:55:39
Speaker 9: I tell you what, any boss who's actually one of the not turning up to die is a bum. Matt.
00:55:47
Speaker 3: Enjoy your outdoor area all year round with an opening and closing roof designed, manufactured and installed locally by the wonderful people at Louvre House. Matt Abraham, good morning to you.
00:55:56
Speaker 9: Good morning, Will. Good morning, Stacey.
00:55:58
Speaker 5: Hello, Matt. You all excited by the Michelin Guide?
00:56:01
Speaker 9: Oh, excited about what's been left out.
00:56:03
Speaker 3: Yeah. Tell us. We're putting together the companion volume.
00:56:05
Speaker 9: Well, obviously, Billy's Café de Wills.
00:56:08
Speaker 12: Oh, yeah.
00:56:08
Speaker 3: Café de Billy. Oh, yeah.
00:56:10
Speaker 9: At Mile End.
00:56:11
Speaker 3: That's the only reason I like going to Bunnings.
00:56:14
Speaker 9: You do a little detour on the way back.
00:56:15
Speaker 3: We'll get to do a little detour on the way back. You're allowed to go there, are you?
00:56:18
Speaker 15: Oh, yeah.
00:56:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
00:56:20
Speaker 9: Beck's Bakehouse, obviously, on Winston Avenue.
00:56:22
Speaker 12: Yep.
00:56:22
Speaker 7: Yep.
00:56:23
Speaker 10: Yep.
00:56:24
Speaker 9: There's a lot more.
00:56:25
Speaker 3: Matt, you're in the running to win tickets this morning.
00:56:27
Speaker 9: I want tickets.
00:56:28
Speaker 3: Our companion volume of the Michelin Guide, I think, is going to be as popular as the actual thing.
00:56:33
Speaker 9: Why do we have– why is this happening? How much have the taxpayers of South Australia, some of whom are sort of scrambling for day-old bread at Woolies in the day-old bread rack, shelling out to have Michelin stars on restaurants they couldn't– Even when you go down the list of the lower ones who sort of get the little elephant stamp, they could never even dream about attending.
00:57:01
Speaker 5: What, a $ 10 taco at La Popular Taqueria?
00:57:03
Speaker 9: Well, has that got a star, though?
00:57:06
Speaker 5: That's on the Bib Gourmand.
00:57:08
Speaker 9: Yeah, the Bib Gourmand. The Bib Gourmand. I mean, we all need to talk about Regis.
00:57:14
Speaker 10: No.
00:57:14
Speaker 9: I mean, I have no doubt you'll be having that after eight. But the Bib Gourmand.
00:57:22
Speaker 2: Look.
00:57:24
Speaker 9: How much does it cost taxpayers? Is it $ 3 million, $ 4 million? What's it cost?
00:57:30
Speaker 27: $ 2 million?
00:57:31
Speaker 5: Well, they haven't released it. I was told $ 2 million.
00:57:36
Speaker 9: $ 2 million?
00:57:36
Speaker 5: I looked at what New Zealand paid, and it was just under $ 2 million a year. They announced it in New Zealand.
00:57:42
Speaker 3: A year or for the five-year deal per year?
00:57:44
Speaker 6: A year.
00:57:45
Speaker 9: Per year. Okay.
00:57:46
Speaker 3: So what?
00:57:47
Speaker 5: Well, it's nothing compared to a $ 100 million MotoGP track, is it?
00:57:50
Speaker 9: Well, that's like a million here, a million there. You know, soon you're talking real money. That famous US quote, you know, a billion here, a billion there. Soon you're talking serious money. I just find it mind-boggling. I just find it mind-boggling. Particularly when you go back to the first Malinowska's election campaign where the street was festooned with– this is when we're allowed to have posters– festooned with posters of of a deflated basketball because Stephen Marshall wanted to build a stadium, multi-purpose stadium, and the words wrong priorities up there. And this is an example to me of how far the government's gone from that because it shouts to me wrong priorities. And you won't hear a squeak from the opposition. You know, to me, there's a huge free kick here. They should be bagging this from sort of something to breakfast time. To me, if I was an opposition leader and the government has spent $ 2 million, so a few restaurants can get an elephant stamp, which will make no difference to the lives of 99.99% of people in South Australia, apart from those who are loaded or politicians who go out the on the taxpayer.
00:59:11
Speaker 5: What about the staff that are about to get hired at those restaurants?
00:59:13
Speaker 9: Well, how many staff are going to get hired at those restaurants?
00:59:16
Speaker 5: We spoke to one restaurant and he said they're about to hire more.
00:59:18
Speaker 9: People to fill out the bookings.
00:59:20
Speaker 5: So if every one of those 70 restaurants on that list hires one staff member, is that not worth it? $ 2 million, you can't even buy a house for $ 2 million anymore. And I will just clarify, we're not saying, we don't know exactly how much it was, but yeah.
00:59:36
Speaker 9: I think there are other ways of creating jobs. There are other ways of creating jobs apart from spending $ 2 million or $ 3 million, $ 10 million over five years to attract a rating system that no other state was interested in. So it's commercial incompetence, again, when no other state has picked this up.
00:59:56
Speaker 3: Well, the other states, there's a media element to this because the other states, it's a newspaper run thing in the other states and you don't pick a fight with a local rag. But I reckon where you fall on this, I think it's the same as where you fall on MotoGP or Gather Round or all these things. It's a philosophical position about what's the role of state government. Is the role just to simply manage the service delivery and the budget or is it to try and invest in things that are growing the pie? And this government, philosophically, has always been, we're a big growing the pie. We're not an austere sort of government. This is not a small government style approach.
01:00:32
Speaker 9: They're not an austere government. I think we can establish that they're not an austere government.
01:00:36
Speaker 3: But it goes to your philosophy of what the role of state government is.
01:00:39
Speaker 9: It goes to my philosophy.
01:00:40
Speaker 15: Not yours.
01:00:40
Speaker 3: I'm saying just everyone's.
01:00:41
Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah.
01:00:42
Speaker 9: Well, I know that. But to me, it goes to the relevance of doing this. You know, okay, what? You're going to get 70 jobs out of it over five years.
01:00:52
Speaker 18: Really?
01:00:52
Speaker 13: Really?
01:00:54
Speaker 9: You know, I mean, you could create 700 jobs if you got rid of the dopey restrictions on trading hours here that are controlled by the Shop Assistance Union. But they could.
01:01:05
Speaker 5: Do that as well.
01:01:07
Speaker 9: Well, they could do that as well, but they're not doing that. And that doesn't cost you anything. It doesn't cost you $ 10 million over five years, whatever. We don't know what it's going to cost over five years to have a lot of people with heavy French accents telling us how wonderful we are. I just, you know, I just find it on so many levels is a cultural cringe for me. I just think it's unnecessary.
01:01:31
Speaker 5: What about Wayne?
01:01:32
Speaker 9: It's unnecessary.
01:01:33
Speaker 5: Wayne in Kilkenny. He said, did the bottom fall out of Matt's show bag this morning? Michelin stars will attract tourists.
01:01:39
Speaker 9: Well, you know, they said that about opening up shopping hours in the mall, didn't they? Way back in time. Ralph Clark said, I can just see. Do you want more shopping hours or not? I just.
01:01:51
Speaker 9: I don't particularly want more shopping hours because I can shop whenever I want, you know, like I'm retired ostensibly, um, not according to the tax office, but, um, I, I just find it incongruous.
01:02:06
Speaker 3: That's all.
01:02:07
Speaker 9: If we're saying, oh, the rest of Australia has got its eyes on us. This is, this is the premier's big strategy. The rest of Australia has got its eyes on us. And I look at something like the Michelin stars and think big deal that, that to me, it's just big deal.
01:02:18
Speaker 3: All right.
01:02:19
Speaker 9: Um, If I was a working journo and was invited, I wouldn't go to it. But, you know, I don't go to any of your Christmas parties of politicians either. The only one I've ever been to, Maybe because I'd be worried about getting abused. But the only one I've ever went to was Nick Xenophon's octopus, sort of charcoal octopus done over the grill.
01:02:38
Speaker 5: Why did you go to his and no one else's?
01:02:40
Speaker 9: Well, because I like charred grilled octopus. Come on. So that's all right. That deserves a Michelin gold star. Anyway, I'm sorry. I just won't buy into it. I just can't get excited about it. It's not for everyone.
01:03:00
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not for everyone.
01:03:02
Speaker 9: Well, it's not for anyone.
01:03:04
Speaker 5: No, it is for people.
01:03:04
Speaker 9: Apart from a select few.
01:03:06
Speaker 5: No, it is for people. I mean, we both said yesterday that when we've been overseas, we've looked at the Michelin map and seen which ones are on that Bib Gourmand because they're the good value ones. And I have gone out of my way to go and visit one of those restaurants in Japan, for example, and it's not overly expensive. I think we paid 20 Australian bucks for a bowl of udon. I don't know.
01:03:26
Speaker 9: Well, what's udon?
01:03:27
Speaker 5: Noodles.
01:03:28
Speaker 9: Oh, okay.
01:03:30
Speaker 5: It's not for you and that's okay. And MotoGP is not for everyone and Live Golf isn't for everyone, but the people who like golf and the people who like bikes, they support it. And the people who like food, they'll support this.
01:03:42
Speaker 9: Look, honestly, I'm glad that when you go overseas, you can look up Michelin restaurants and go to the cheap ones or you can just go to a cheap restaurant. I mean, in South Australia, do we need to know what are the cheap Michelin, BB Gourmand, whatever it's called, restaurants, really?
01:04:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think it's designed to do anything for the, I think South Australia, we know all those places. It's not for locals. It's on the BBC website this morning.
01:04:08
Speaker 9: Oh, well, there you go.
01:04:10
Speaker 3: If it's a marketing exercise, if so, for mine, it's which budget line does it come out of? If it's $ 2 million that otherwise would have been spent on someone, you know, wearing a bikini, walking along Henley Beach, well, I kind of, It's a much of a much for me, you know.
01:04:26
Speaker 9: Must get down to Henley Beach.
01:04:32
Speaker 5: All right, all right.
01:04:36
Speaker 3: We have this.
01:04:38
Speaker 9: Set against the Order of Generals report yesterday.
01:04:40
Speaker 3: Yeah.
01:04:41
Speaker 9: Just by the way, because we talk about spin here and nothing any government does, but particularly this government, Labor government, so the Masters of Spin, nothing is accidental. So on the day that you have this elitist Michelin star you know, knees up in Adelaide, an announcement. You also release the fact that the school fees are being wiped out. So that was a sort of the good news, you know, down and get down with the common people, I suppose, announcement, even though it was in the budget and it was well known. So I just think that was a, a little bit of covering fire of the government. Well, actually, maybe they didn't need covering fire because everyone thinks Michelin Guide's wonderful.
01:05:21
Speaker 15: I don't know.
01:05:22
Speaker 3: No, there's a few on the text line that are 100% your camp, Matt. Well, that's it.
01:05:26
Speaker 9: Making up for last week. Now, look. We've got the Order of the General. The Order of the General's looked at the golf course, okay, North Adelaide golf course. I find this quite incredible. What they've done, and this is the Department of Premiers and Cabinet, so this isn't some sort of low-level department handling this. This is the Premier's own department. Rather than put out to tender, and we've talked about this a fair bit, have a competitive tender, what they've done is they engage 14 specialist consultants under standard contracts. This is reading from the Board of Generals report. Each valued at $ 55, 000. Now, under the Department, the Premier and Cabinet's procurement policy, those engagements don't require acquisition plans and purchase recommendations because they were not over $ 55, 000. One of them was the engagement of professional services consultant Greg Norman golf course design. And, look, I may be doing him a disservice, but I wouldn't think Greg Norman would get out of bed for $ 55, 000. Yeah. So when the initial contracts expired, the Order of General Reports, DPC, the Premier's Department, entered into 11 new contracts with the same people, with the same consultants, each one this time valued over $ 55, 000. Now he says while they're in line with government approval, maybe there was some value for money there. He said, we don't know because it wasn't put out to competitive tender. And it does raise the question of why the government hasn't put out the competitive tender and got a better deal. To me, I think, myself, well, why wouldn't you do that? And there's no answer to that, really.
01:07:05
Speaker 5: Because if you put it out to competitive tender, don't you have to put somewhat of a price tag on it or not?
01:07:11
Speaker 9: Well, no, you could put out the tender and people could tender without disclosing the price. The government still wouldn't have to disclose the price on it.
01:07:18
Speaker 5: Right.
01:07:19
Speaker 9: I don't see the big deal about disclosing the price.
01:07:23
Speaker 17: Yeah.
01:07:24
Speaker 9: So we've seen on Kangaroo Island a brilliant golf course designed by another designer who's internationally recognised for about $ 20 million. I think Mount Osmond Golf Course is about to get a big makeover. There's lots of people who are top shelf designers of golf course. As good, if not better, depending on your perspective than Greg Norman, who could have done it? I don't know.
01:07:52
Speaker 3: I wonder what Greg Norman's previous association with Live Golf had, if anything, to do with that decision. He doesn't have any association with it anymore.
01:08:03
Speaker 9: It's a bit like old mate Lance Armstrong with Mike Rann and with Mikey. I do think there's a tendency for political leaders to be besotted by celebrities, depending on the leader, and I think that becomes part of the deal.
01:08:18
Speaker 5: I thought we had a budget for the redevelopment of the golf course. Wasn't it around $ 50 million?
01:08:24
Speaker 9: It was around that. I don't think the government's ever specifically said who's getting.
01:08:29
Speaker 3: What, though.
01:08:30
Speaker 5: No, we don't know how much of that, or if Greg Norman's fee is even included in that, or is that just the money to tear down the trees and put more grass?
01:08:38
Speaker 9: Exactly. And maybe Greg Norman's doing it on the cheap, but, you know, even if you type in what does Greg Norman get paid for a golf course, type that into grok, it comes up to around two to three million bucks. What's grok?
01:08:51
Speaker 3: That's on … Elon Musk's AI. You know, his version of chat GPT.
01:08:55
Speaker 2: Oh.
01:08:56
Speaker 9: Or noodles, depending where you're eating. But anyway, no, yeah, yes, it's Elon Musk's evil version of chat GPT.
01:09:07
Speaker 3: Right. All right, we're going to take a break. We'll check traffic in. We'll rate some spin in just a moment.
01:09:12
Speaker 1: Knock down, build two with Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes, they do it.
01:09:19
Speaker 26: All for you.
01:09:20
Speaker 2: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
01:09:24
Speaker 3: 5 to 8, the text line running hot, 0 to 4808 1395. I think it's running at 50-50, Matt, for you this week.
01:09:31
Speaker 9: I'll take 50-50. I'm quite happy with that.
01:09:34
Speaker 21: 50-50.
01:09:34
Speaker 9: Yeah, that to me is a win.
01:09:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, always. I think it's actually, if we get one text that says, Matt, you're absolutely spot on, and the next one says, come on, we shouldn't be so negative. All right, should we write some spins?
01:09:46
Speaker 17: Yes.
01:09:47
Speaker 10: Yes.
01:09:48
Speaker 23: Matt.
01:09:51
Speaker 9: I think you both would have heard this, but maybe many listeners have not, but this is Donald Trump's new press secretary.
01:09:56
Speaker 3: Oh, don't, Matt, we can't do this.
01:09:59
Speaker 9: Yes, we can.
01:10:00
Speaker 3: This is hard to listen to.
01:10:01
Speaker 5: Which part have you picked out?
01:10:02
Speaker 9: And I've had to edit this down because it's so, it's, I've had to show self-restraint. This is Katie Zachariah, a new White House press secretary, on her debut.
01:10:14
Speaker 23: He had a historic one-day war, and now we have a booming economy and a great relationship. With Venezuela.
01:10:24
Speaker 3: Oh, hang on. I think I played the wrong one. I didn't play the official Louvre. Sorry. There's so many here.
01:10:31
Speaker 12: Sorry.
01:10:31
Speaker 3: Here's the official Louvre segment. Good morning.
01:10:38
Speaker 23: I am so honored to work for President Trump and the American people. And thanks to President Trump, we are once again bringing back American energy dominance because energy Energy security is national security. The idea of not spending evenings with my kids is completely unacceptable. So my president, excuse me, my husband, that's a good one. My husband is out here.
01:11:11
Speaker 9: I used to think the definition of optimism on radio was ironing five shirts on a Sunday night. If I was Katie, if you can get to the end of the week, I reckon you'd be going, well, Katie, I'm giving you seven louvers for seven days.
01:11:29
Speaker 3: People are measuring her potential time in the job in terms of Scaramoochies. I think she's lasted one eighth of a Scaramoochie at this point in time.
01:11:39
Speaker 9: Now, staying in the US, this is described as one of the greatest moments in Capitol history. This is Missouri Rep Bill Long, who's in this committee hearing, and a woman, Laura Loomer, started sort of, I don't know, giving him a hard time from the back while she was filming herself with a little pink iPhone. This is how he handled it.
01:12:05
Speaker 3: What's she saying? I can't understand her.
01:12:07
Speaker 6: What?
01:12:09
Speaker 28: Officer, will you escort this young lady out, please?
01:12:11
Speaker 3: He's an auctioneer.
01:12:12
Speaker 4: He's still an auctioneer.
01:12:12
Speaker 26: Wow.
01:12:38
Speaker 9: I reckon it's the way to go. I'd like to see unruly Parklands protesters dealt with like that.
01:12:46
Speaker 3: We surely have Nationals MP that can do a sort of.
01:12:49
Speaker 9: I would think Barnaby Joyce.
01:12:50
Speaker 3: Barnaby could do that.
01:12:51
Speaker 9: Barnaby would hop into that. He'll model himself.
01:12:53
Speaker 5: Yeah, he yelled at the dog.
01:12:54
Speaker 9: I'm giving Missouri Rep Bill Long seven and a half louvers, so one of them's only half open, making him the biggest louver.
01:13:02
Speaker 3: He is the biggest louver. Congratulations. That's remarkable. Kate Zachariah can't even win. She's having a really bad week.
01:13:09
Speaker 9: She's going to have a bad week.
01:13:11
Speaker 3: Good on you, Matt.
01:13:13
Speaker 28: Pleasure.
01:13:14
Speaker 21: Knockdown.
01:13:15
Speaker 1: Bill 2 with Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment.
01:13:20
Speaker 5: Metro Homes. They do it all for you.
01:13:22
Speaker 2: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
01:13:27
Speaker 3: Eight minutes after eight, break at eight coming up in a moment. One Nation have taken to calling Labor and the Liberal Party the uni-party. I'm not sure whether we have a catchy name for when the Coalition, One Nation, the Greens and the crossbench all vote the same way, but that's precisely what happened in the Senate yesterday, so the upper house in Canberra, where Mark Butler's legislation to automatically remove the private health insurance rebate for over 65s was defeated. Maybe only a temporary setback because he has said immediately after that he will be reintroducing that legislation in the lower house today where obviously the numbers will be more favourable. It's an interesting debate because it appears there may be a path for this to progress if concessions are given to the Greens. And it sounded like Anne Ruston was open to this idea as well, the Liberal Senator from South Australia.
01:14:18
Speaker 14: Yes.
01:14:19
Speaker 3: For pensioners. So for pensioners. Now, the justification for the government has always been we save $ 3 billion and that equals 5,000 aged care beds. So it is shifting resources in the health system. Aged care beds feeds into a chat we've had with Paul Ecclebloom already this morning about ramping in South Australia. So they're all the moving pieces that are on the table at the moment. There is going to be nothing immediate. beyond that vote going to Parliament today, the changes they expect would see nearly 80,000 Australians aged 65 and over drop private health by 2030. It's a huge debate. We're going to get into it very, very shortly. But those are just to get your head around what's transpired in the last 24 hours. That's the state of play on that one. Also coming up on the program, in fact, before we do anything else, I just want to revisit something because if you were listening earlier, you heard Keith call us from Heathfield, Highbury, sorry, Highbury. Heathfield was one of our great nominations for our local Michelin guide. At Highbury, because the water had been out. The water's been out for a long time. We've been in contact with SA Water. We've got this statement. SA Water crews currently working to repair a water main break on Harold Street in Highbury. The team also attending to the site to provide residents with an interim supply of drinking water. They hadn't for Keith, but that must be happening subsequent to our chat with him. In the event of a break, our immediate priority is to limit water loss and disruption to the community as quickly as possible by closing valves safely to isolate the impacted section of pipe. This was undertaken to the pipe on Harold Street at 11pm yesterday evening by a network technician. Our first available crews arrived to the site on Harold Street this morning shortly after 6am to commence repairs following a complex job they completed in Wingfield. Well, Keith had done his own reporting. He spoke to the crews there who said they'd love to have got there early, but there's just not enough crews. probably working at Wingfield. Repairs to leaks or breaks are prioritised based on the number of factors, yada, yada, yada. We apologise for any inconvenience. Thanks to SA Water for telling us that. The upshot of it is, though, if you live on Harold Street or surrounds, you've been without and you will be without water for 11 hours?
01:16:24
Speaker 5: Yeah, 11 o'clock last night until what's the estimated?
01:16:27
Speaker 3: 10am was the estimated restoration time.
01:16:28
Speaker 5: They're saying in this statement before midday.
01:16:30
Speaker 3: Oh, so it'll be more than 12 hours then, you'd think.
01:16:33
Speaker 19: Yeah.
01:16:34
Speaker 3: Drinking water is one thing, but as a few of our listeners have said, Do you know what you do about the bathroom?
01:16:38
Speaker 5: Kind of a shower.
01:16:39
Speaker 26: Yeah.
01:16:39
Speaker 3: All right, it's time to get breaking, you know.
01:16:44
Speaker 5: Well, Matt was talking about the Auditor-General's report, and I think MPs and journos have been looking at different aspects of the report. There are two that drew my attention this week, two aspects of it. The first one is, must have been under the same section Matt was looking at, in regards to the North Adelaide golf course. The Auditor-General said, They tried to investigate whether the appropriate requirements were met for stage one of the North Adelaide Golf Course to go ahead. So they tried to look into it, but unfortunately they couldn't because those documents they were requiring to look at were cabinet in confidence. So we've got commercial in confidence where we can't know how much taxpayers pay for contracts. Then we have cabinet in confidence where For anything else the government doesn't want taxpayers to know about, let's just make it a cabinet document.
01:17:36
Speaker 7: Yes.
01:17:36
Speaker 5: We can't show anyone about it.
01:17:38
Speaker 3: Top level of secrecy.
01:17:39
Speaker 14: Yeah.
01:17:39
Speaker 3: And again, we're not talking about, you know, invasion plans, are we?
01:17:43
Speaker 14: No.
01:17:43
Speaker 3: This is not, you know, how we're going to secure Australia from foreign invaders.
01:17:46
Speaker 13: No.
01:17:46
Speaker 3: This is a golf course.
01:17:47
Speaker 5: In fact, and this wording in the report is very strong. The redevelopment has the characteristics of a public sector initiative as it involves a significant redevelopment of a public asset and substantial expenditure of public resources. There is therefore a risk that significant public sector investment decisions were made without the required analysis of cost benefits, risks and value for money, reducing transparency and accountability and increasing the risk of inefficient use of public resources. So the Auditor-General couldn't access any of that information.
01:18:20
Speaker 3: Someone from the government is going to have to reach out to me and justify exactly what the benefit is to the South Australian taxpayer when our bulwark against... misuse of taxpayers money the auditor general he's the goalkeeper this is the guy that stands on the goal line and saves up from waste cannot assess public expenditure how is how are we benefiting from that that's an extraordinary thing If.
01:18:45
Speaker 5: He can't even assess it. So it might even be, why can't he look at those documents and then not disclose those documents?
01:18:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, but just to say whether appropriate processes have been adhered to and whether he's satisfied the thinking or the philosophy behind the whole thing represents value for money for the taxpayer.
01:19:04
Speaker 14: Yeah.
01:19:04
Speaker 5: So that one will frustrate taxpayers. That's just ridiculous. This next item that was drawn to my attention might ease the minds of taxpayers. Do you remember Festival Tower 2?
01:19:14
Speaker 10: Yes.
01:19:15
Speaker 5: And there was all of this conversation about how much the Walker Corporation had to pay to lease, in air quotations, that land from the government. And it was reported that it was a peppercorn lease. So it was only $ 1 a year for 90 years. It was ridiculous. pretty widely reported that it was only a peppercorn lease for $ 1. Well, it's not. It's actually $ 41. 6 million over 90 years. So that's $ 460, 000 a year to lease it, much more than the $ 1 a year that was reported. Still to be decided if people think that's an appropriate amount of money, $ 41. 6 million a year for the Walker Corporation for 90 years. To lease that land?
01:19:59
Speaker 3: Sorry, I'm still hung up on the first point. Call me a cynic, but it seems as though the Auditor-General has reasonable access to figures that stand to reflect well on the government and does not have access to figures that may reflect poorly on the government. So it's not the Auditor-General. It's not asking for 5AA breakfast to have access to these documents. This is the Auditor-General. That's extraordinary, Stace. Thank you. Gee, who looks after the taxpayer?
01:20:29
Speaker 5: The Auditor-General can't.
01:20:30
Speaker 3: Auditor-General reports, by the way, make great reading. They use plain speaking. It's non-political. It's direct.
01:20:36
Speaker 5: It's easy.
01:20:36
Speaker 3: They are great. You'll feel thankful that someone's keeping an eye on this stuff when you read Auditor-General reports, both at state and federal level. All right, let's put some local legendary eateries into our 5AA Breakfast Michigan Companion Guide. This is the one that features... It might just be your favourite bakery item. It might be the coffee shop you go to. It might be a food truck that rolls up at the beach in your neck of the woods, whatever it might well be. Trevor in Nova Gardens, hit us with what you want to enter into our Michelin guide.
01:21:05
Speaker 6: Good morning, crew. I want to nominate the barbecue in on Jetty Road. I've been eating there since the 70s.
01:21:14
Speaker 2: Yep.
01:21:15
Speaker 3: Has it changed at all, Trevor?
01:21:16
Speaker 14: No.
01:21:17
Speaker 6: There has been some changes, unfortunately. They've introduced chicken and a garden salad. Lardy dog.
01:21:28
Speaker 10: Chicken in a garden salad.
01:21:30
Speaker 3: It's gone woke, Trevor.
01:21:33
Speaker 6: They've got a children's menu. They've got a children's porterhouse steak with chips.
01:21:41
Speaker 14: Wow.
01:21:42
Speaker 6: And, you know, that's great for transitioning people. From boys to men or girls to women. Into the heaviest stuff. You just feel like hugging Marty and Sue on the way out.
01:21:55
Speaker 3: Hey, Trevor, this program's affection for the barbecue in at Glenelg is well established. But never, ever have we heard an endorsement like that in our Michelin Guide. Trevor, what you just said will be the blurb. Ange and two wells, good morning.
01:22:10
Speaker 6: Good morning, guys.
01:22:11
Speaker 16: I've got one for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
01:22:13
Speaker 3: Yep.
01:22:13
Speaker 16: So for breakfast, Zuma Cafe at the Central Market. This is an amazing breakfast.
01:22:18
Speaker 3: Legendary, yep. Yep.
01:22:19
Speaker 16: At lunchtime, we'll have pizza at the Colac Wood Oven Pizza.
01:22:23
Speaker 4: Oh, yum.
01:22:24
Speaker 16: And for dinner, we'll have pasta at La Vida Restaurant.
01:22:27
Speaker 10: Oh, yum.
01:22:28
Speaker 3: Jeez, we're going to be full, Ange. That's quite the day of eating.
01:22:32
Speaker 22: Oh.
01:22:32
Speaker 3: I reckon we could try it, though. That's brilliant. Thank you. We might take one more quickly. We'll put Yuri and Beaumont in the running for some tickets and the Lucky Dumpling... festival voucher as well. Morning, Yuri.
01:22:41
Speaker 14: Good morning, Adelaide.
01:22:43
Speaker 29: I've been going there for 20 years. Flinders Street next to Bunnock's. and Hutt Street, the Luxor House, the best Luxor you can ever try in your life. I was only there again yesterday, the best of the best. Sophie and Richard and the daughter, Alison, the best Luxor ever made.
01:23:05
Speaker 5: I couldn't agree with you more.
01:23:07
Speaker 3: That is brilliant. Thank you. We appreciate it. Thanks for all your entries. This has been terrific. We have prizes to give away and still more time for your entries tomorrow. into the 5AA Breakfast Michelin Guide, which contains nothing from Michigan. I don't know why I said that. Now, did I say it twice? Did I say Michigan twice?
01:23:23
Speaker 5: I didn't want to correct you.
01:23:25
Speaker 9: You should have.
01:23:25
Speaker 3: I'm not talking about the Wolverines. I'm talking about restaurants and a French tyre company. It's all very confusing. All right, let's talk to someone who does know what they're doing, and that is Scott Huggins from McGill Estate, who you caught up with, Stacey. McGill Estate, who won not one but two Michelin stars, putting them in pretty– rare class of restaurant right around the world. Here is Stacey with Scott Huggins.
01:23:47
Speaker 5: Scott Huggins, owner and director of McGill Estate Restaurant, South Australia's first and only two-star restaurant in the Michelin Guide, sitting here with a champagne in hand. How are you feeling?
01:23:57
Speaker 30: Overwhelmed, excited, happy. Yeah, it's an unbelievable, unbelievable feeling. It's sort of, yeah, something we only dreamt of, so it's incredible.
01:24:09
Speaker 5: Tell me, um, you were pretty emotional on stage, obviously getting such a huge accolade and being the only restaurant in South Australia to get it. But tell me your story and how you've worked in Michelin restaurants overseas and just why this means so much to you.
01:24:22
Speaker 30: Oh, as someone said to me, you know, do I love cooking or love food? I think it goes past that. Food's my life. You know, I left school when I was 15. It's almost all I know what to do. Um, I'm obsessed with it. So it goes past, I think, love. Um, And I've always strived to be the best or be working at the best restaurants, I suppose. So I've travelled the world and worked in, you know, Michelin star restaurants in Europe and three Michelin star restaurants in Tokyo and Singapore and so on. So, you know, I always wanted to learn from the best to become the best. But never, never dreamt, you know, never dreamt that I'd even come to South Australia. So it's sort of, yeah, it's surreal, I guess, in some ways.
01:25:02
Speaker 5: I remember you getting a bit emotional when they announced that Michelin was coming to South Australia. Why was that?
01:25:09
Speaker 30: We've been there 13 years and I think it's sad to say that my team around me never gets recognised for the hard work they put in. They show up every day, day in, day out, and they work harder than anyone could ever understand. Hospitality is a bloody hard job and these guys put in so much effort every day to be consistent and to be amazing. And to be honest, they don't get recognised. We've been there for 13 years and there's no recognition whatsoever. There's minimal recognition to the hard work they put in. And I thought this would be the first time with people reviewing restaurants that have a food background and understand what goes into the dishes and what goes into the hard work we do would actually be recognised for the first time. So I understood we might be recognised for how good they are and how good the team is for the first time.
01:25:55
Speaker 10: Mm-hmm.
01:25:57
Speaker 5: Well done. Congratulations. Thank you so much. I'm going to let you get back to celebrating. You don't need to be wasting any more time with me, but thank you.
01:26:05
Speaker 16: Have another champagne.
01:26:06
Speaker 2: Thanks, Scott.
01:26:06
Speaker 5: Is that all right?
01:26:09
Speaker 3: And that chat, Stacey, underscores something that you've observed throughout the morning, and Fabian Lehman from Maxwell made the point too. It's amazing the degree to which these recognitions accompany the attraction our wine regions have. They go hand in hand. McGill Estate. Penfolds, obviously. Maxwell's is a winery and a restaurant. So many of these are. They marry up very neatly in terms of trying to sell a tourism package to people overseas. That was interesting. I'm guessing Scott's not doing any other chats this morning because it sounded like he probably did have another beverage.
01:26:40
Speaker 5: I think I was lucky to get him when I did.
01:26:42
Speaker 3: You did exceptionally well.
01:26:43
Speaker 5: As he deserves it.
01:26:44
Speaker 3: All right, we're going to check traffic and talk about the over 65s private health rebate. You say, hang on, what, the thing that doesn't exist anymore? Well, that's not so true. We got defeated in the Senate yesterday. It will be reintroduced today, and it is the subject of conversation next.
01:26:58
Speaker 1: Knockdown, Bill 2, with Metro Homes.
01:27:01
Speaker 5: Sell one and move on.
01:27:02
Speaker 1: Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes, they.
01:27:05
Speaker 5: Do it all for you.
01:27:06
Speaker 2: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
01:27:10
Speaker 3: 25 after 8. The federal government have pitched this issue as a kind of either-or. You can keep the private health rebate that automatically kicks in when people reach the age of 60 and enjoy bed block because there's not enough aged care beds, or you can trade it for thousands of aged care beds that would come into the system because $ 3 billion would be saved from elsewhere within health. I think advocates in the healthcare sector and those, and advocates on behalf of older Australians like Patricia Sparrow from CODA, I don't want words in her mouth, I'm guessing she probably would would be of the view that you don't necessarily, you shouldn't be robbing Peter to pay Paul. And I wonder if there's a middle ground here, because whilst the Greens coalition and One Nation and the crossbenchers, for that matter, all teamed up yesterday to block this coming in, they did talk about a sort of compromise position. So let's bring Patricia Sparrow into this conversation, the CEO of the Council on the Aging Australia. Patricia, good morning to you.
01:28:04
Speaker 31: Good morning.
01:28:06
Speaker 3: The, It seems the Greens are championing a position whereby the rebate would automatically come off for over 65s unless they were pensioners, and then it would still be in effect for them. Would that be an acceptable compromise from your perspective?
01:28:23
Speaker 8: Look, I think it's.
01:28:23
Speaker 31: Important to say that we don't think it should proceed at all, but I think making sure that the people who are most vulnerable are protected is important.
01:28:31
Speaker 3: Okay.
01:28:32
Speaker 12: Okay.
01:28:34
Speaker 3: So there's been a disparity in terms of the numbers of people that have been affected, 45. 45 000 78 000 depending on which report you read what's your understanding of how many people would immediately drop their private health cover in in the event this was.
01:28:50
Speaker 31: To go through so look we've done a couple of surveys and um The interesting results in our surveys are around 1,000 or 2,000 people. It's about one in three who are saying they would drop it, they would have to because they couldn't do anything else. But a lot of people are saying, another third are kind of saying they would keep it, but at the expense of other things. So they tell us things like, well, we'll reduce our expenditure on food, we won't go to the dentist, we won't use our heating or cooling as we're coming into summer. They're talking about those kind of things too. make those changes to afford to be able to keep private health insurance because they really don't think they can afford to let it go and it's true that older people have more chronic health conditions and are more likely to need to use it as they age and that's why they want to hold on to it so that they can look after themselves, they're not a burden on the public hospital system and they don't have to wait for really long periods of time for things that are sort of classified as elective surgery, things like you know cataracts and things like that that really have an impact on people's lives and they'd like to get it done as quickly as possible.
01:29:55
Speaker 5: And do we know, has there been any modelling done by COTA at all about how much of an impact this change would have on the public health system because of what you've just spoken about?
01:30:06
Speaker 31: We haven't done that but we know that the state government certainly have been and the South Australian government's been particularly active in that space and very concerned about that impact and if If people are dropping their health cover or lowering their health cover and they can't get support, there is nowhere else for them to go but to the public system.
01:30:26
Speaker 3: Patricia, thank you. It's obviously a massive issue for our listeners and we're getting a lot of texts on that. We'll continue to have that conversation very shortly. Patricia Sparrow is the Australian CEO of the Council on the Aging.
01:30:36
Speaker 5: Did you say the federal government says 5,000 extra aged care beds?
01:30:42
Speaker 14: Yes.
01:30:42
Speaker 5: Is that what it would be?
01:30:43
Speaker 14: Yeah.
01:30:44
Speaker 5: It's really not that many.
01:30:45
Speaker 3: It's not heaps.
01:30:46
Speaker 5: Spread across the country. And we had Blair Boyer on about the impact of this change on public hospitals, and the state government had some modelling. I just found it because I was interested in it. It estimates more than 2,500, between 2,500 and 10%. 9,000 additional episodes of care in hospitals.
01:31:06
Speaker 3: This is where it falls over for mine because, yes, there's a debate about whether taxpayers are going to be buying it. But on some level, this is a fight between the feds and the state.
01:31:13
Speaker 29: Yes.
01:31:14
Speaker 3: And if you can't even convince Blair Boyer that this is to.
01:31:16
Speaker 5: The benefit of- Labor's Blair Boyer.
01:31:18
Speaker 3: Labor's Blair Boyer. This is an idea that's going to make lives easier. Good luck convincing other people. Have you ever heard the criticism of an actor in a film that it feels like they were in a different film to everyone else? I've got a theory about Mark Butler. I feel like he's in a different government at the moment. We'll get into it on the other side of 5AA News.
01:31:45
Speaker 1: 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.
01:31:53
Speaker 2: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
01:31:57
Speaker 3: 20 minutes to nine. Good news for those around Harrell Street at Highbury. Ahead of schedule, the water has been reconnected and restored. SA Water have just contacted us to tell us that won't be news to people there. But more broadly, that's good news because the last update we had was it might not come on until midday. Those people had been without water since 11pm last night. We've been discussing the over 65 private health rebate that would automatically kick in in the event that Mark Butler's legislation that he's set to reintroduce, it having been defeated in the Senate yesterday, gets up. and comes into law. I was making the points before the break, and a few people have texted in critical of this decision, critical of the health minister as well. But my position on Mark Butler at the moment is different.
01:32:42
Speaker 5: Yeah, tell us more about this. So before the break, you said your theory is he's- He's like an actor in the wrong movie.
01:32:48
Speaker 3: So there's some of you who watch a comedy, and there'll be one person doing a performance, and you think, sorry, why are you trying to win an Academy Award? This is a silly movie. Or vice versa, there'll be some people who are way too comedic and It's often a criticism you see of actors. You're playing this character just in the wrong film. Mark Butler, I watched him at this press conference yesterday holding the line on this. We've got to be tight on money. We need to shift this $ 3 billion from this rebate it buys to everyone. We've got to shift it over to aged care because this is our only option. He's the only one in the federal government that seems to think there's some sort of budget crisis because everywhere else you've got The home battery scheme that costs billions of dollars. The New Guinea Rugby League team that's nearly a billion dollars. You've got the student debt write-off. There's billions upon billions of dollars just out of thin air. You have things like the GST carve-up because we're trying to placate voters in Western Australia. That's billions of dollars because of the no-worse-off guarantee. Every year. There's billions of dollars going everywhere. The Reserve Bank's talked about it, yet on an issue as sensitive and that will deeply affect older Australians who have done nothing but pay taxes and abide by laws their entire life. There can be no compromise. He's the only one that thinks the budget needs to be repaired. In a weird way, it's admirable. He's championing a deeply unpopular policy position from the perspective of trying to save the federal budget. No one else in the federal government is on anything.
01:34:19
Speaker 5: He's been touted as potentially the next prime minister. Do you think maybe the role he's playing in this movie is a rehearsal role?
01:34:25
Speaker 3: That is, I think, a very reasonable assessment to make. There are no, when it comes to saving money, at some point you're going to have to cut things. I'm not defending this, by the way. This is the reality of it and it's why politicians rarely do it. If you genuinely want to fix a budget, you're going to have to cut popular things that affect people in ways that are of benefit to them, and you're going to have to take some lumps, like what he's doing with this, like no one else in the government is doing at the moment. I'm just surprised he's happy to go out on a limb and be this guy at a time when everyone else is just spending like drunken sailors. I find it staggering. What a hill to die on, charging older people more for healthcare.
01:35:02
Speaker 14: Yeah.
01:35:02
Speaker 3: It's crazy. Let's talk about food.
01:35:04
Speaker 5: Yeah, let's talk about something a bit more lighthearted because we've been talking about the Michelin Guide all morning and in town to make the announcement last night was Gwendolyn Pullenek, the International Director of the Michelin Guide. Good morning to.
01:35:16
Speaker 3: You, Gwendolyn.
01:35:18
Speaker 20: Good morning. Bonjour.
01:35:19
Speaker 5: How is the head feeling this morning?
01:35:22
Speaker 13: Oh, great.
01:35:23
Speaker 20: You know, yesterday's culinary community of South Australia made a strong start with the first selections.
01:35:31
Speaker 5: Yes, we had one restaurant with two stars and 10 restaurants with one star. It's a pretty good turnout for a first year for the Michelin Guide to be in a new city. I note New Zealand had 14 restaurants around the whole country that received one star. So how does South Australia stack up?
01:35:51
Speaker 20: Well, I think South Australia deserves a strong place on the World Culinary Map. So yesterday we have one two star.
01:36:00
Speaker 21: One star.
01:36:01
Speaker 20: 16 restaurants being awarded with a Bib Gourmand for good value for money, and also 50 restaurants made the selection, being recommended. So all in all, there are 77 restaurants being listed. So that's quite wonderful for the initial inaugural launch, and they really deserve it. And you know, the South Australian culinary industry and seen as something strong to say because it's a unique identity, a strong sense of place, a real sense of freedom in the way the chefs are approaching their own cooking style. So for the inspectors of the Michelin Guide, whether coming from the region or from far away, they've been quite impressed by their discoveries here.
01:36:53
Speaker 5: Have you had any other states interested in getting the Michelin Guide? Any other Australian states?
01:36:59
Speaker 20: But, you know, we had to start somewhere and our inspectors have been on the ground already for quite some time. And we decided to move forward with a project for South Australia because here you have a strong culinary identity. The local culinary scene is already quite mature, sophisticated, yet quite relaxed, you know, in the setting and welcoming. So it was definitely... the right place to start with the Michelin Guide in Australia.
01:37:32
Speaker 5: Because I think we've got the exclusive rights to the Michelin Guide for, is it one year or a couple years? Is that right?
01:37:40
Speaker 20: Oh, I hope it will be, you know, for forever. I think we have already a plan for the five years to come. And I do hope that in the coming years, we will expand throughout Australia. But, okay, today really the focus is on South Australia. on its talented chef community and with the mission guide, you know, being awarded with a star means that your restaurant is not only one of the best in the city, but also in the country and in the world. Because thanks to your unique methodology and the international inspector's profile, the promise of the mission guide is that one star here has the same values as one star in Paris or in New York, for example.
01:38:28
Speaker 3: Gwendolyn, I'm just thinking, we borrow so much of our food tradition from Europe and from Asia and places around the world. When you go away from South Australia and people in France or within Europe or elsewhere ask you about it and say, what was it like? Is there anything unique about South Australia and the food scene here that you'll take with you?
01:38:47
Speaker 20: Yes, I will say that based on all the inspectors' feedbacks, is that here, again, you have a strong sense of place. It's quite difficult to say that the chefs are fitting in a single category. They have a very personal approach of the cooking. They are really inspired by the local ingredients. They are also inspired by their route, and it's quite open to the world with European but also Asian influences. But I would say, for me, the trademark is... the fact that they can provide a sophisticated experience at the highest level, but yet it's always relaxed, welcoming, and the staff is chatty. So you feel very comfortable and you can really enjoy the food even without the whole setting. So really the focus on the food is what our inspectors love.
01:39:40
Speaker 2: Yeah.
01:39:41
Speaker 13: Yeah.
01:39:42
Speaker 5: Well, It was a great night. It's great for all the businesses, the restaurants and even the smaller ones that were recognised in the Bib Gourmand as well. So, Gwendolyn, thank you for your time this morning. We appreciate it. The International Director of the Michelin Guide.
01:39:56
Speaker 3: Do you reckon Gwendolyn and the Michelin people have been listening to our companion guide, the 5AA Breakfast Guide, this morning?
01:40:01
Speaker 5: Well, I hope so because then they'll be heading down to Carmine & Co in Port Adelaide, Victory Hotel down there in the southern suburbs, Barbecue Inn, Jetty Road.
01:40:10
Speaker 3: Banana Boogie Bakery got a nomination on the text line. They've won enough awards. Banana Boogie have won every– it's surprising they didn't get three stars. They got everything else.
01:40:19
Speaker 29: That's true.
01:40:20
Speaker 3: They just win it all the time. It's 11 at night. We have to award those tickets. We might do that after the break. You've got a last-minute local food recommendation for us from your favourite bar and me joint to the best bakery or coffee shop, whatever it might well be in your net of goods.

01:41:36
Speaker 26: Well, I think.
01:41:36
Speaker 27: Vasili's Table at West Beach, maybe not so hidden, but it's fantastic.
01:41:41
Speaker 28: Obviously, the cuisine is great.
01:41:43
Speaker 26: But, you know, local produce, the calamari, the lamb, and plus your two-minute walk from the beach.
01:41:49
Speaker 28: So have lunch, go for a walk, enjoy the.
01:41:52
Speaker 26: Sunshine, summer's coming.
01:41:54
Speaker 28: It's a really wonderful place. And the staff are great.
01:41:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, I haven't tried that one yet, Jay, but I've heard it's brilliant. So that makes sense. That's in the 5AA Breakfast Food Guide. You have me at calamari. Yeah, I bet. William in Mansfield Park. Good morning.
01:42:07
Speaker 14: Good morning. Firstly, I'm so proud of how far South Australia has come in regards to restaurants and little bakeries and that in the last couple of years. But my recommendation would be for a ban me roll place, which is quite local. It's a place on Hanson Road called Real Rolls in Woodville.
01:42:31
Speaker 3: I think one day, a long time ago, we did a segment on best barn me's around Adelaide, and that one came up a fair bit. That one makes a lot of sense. William, thank you. You're in the running to win tickets as well. Let's give away all the tickets, shall we?
01:42:44
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just want to say very quick thank you to whoever it was. It was early in the morning, and we've had stacks and stacks of texts today, so I can't find it. But you said there's an app, a locally made app. to find barn me's around adelaide is there yeah so i need to find it i need to get on board with that i didn't know such a thing existed um okay it's so hard this morning there were so many great recommendations.
01:43:06
Speaker 3: You sort of have to just almost do it at random i think just a random choice.
01:43:09
Speaker 5: Joe in camden park yep and linda in heathfield uh.
01:43:12
Speaker 3: Do we do any sense about uh who gets the lucky dumpling market voucher and who gets the country royalty tickets no we'll pick it out of a hat okay pick it out of that congratulations to the both of you that um That was tremendous. We really should release a guide of this. I think it'd be terrific.
01:43:24
Speaker 5: I think it'd be great.
01:43:26
Speaker 3: All the local little eateries that people know are great because they're in your area, they don't break the bank, and it's what good food is all about.
01:43:33
Speaker 5: And we'll call it the Michigan Guide.
01:43:36
Speaker 3: Be honest, how many times did I say it wrong this morning?
01:43:38
Speaker 5: Just twice.
01:43:38
Speaker 3: Was it only twice?
01:43:39
Speaker 5: It's okay, yeah.
01:43:40
Speaker 3: I'm afraid how many times I keep referring to the Michigan Guide. Getting prepared for the midterms, that's what it is. That's so Will. That's not true either. All right, let's have a look at the fuel situation this morning. The cheapest, all right, here we go. Don't get stuck on the side of the road. Get RAA road service.
