But we've got plenty happening this morning. But thankfully I've got a new partner in crime this week.

00:01:46
Speaker 6: Good morning, John O, and good morning to all the listers. I'm so thrilled to be back. I've I love jumping in the hot seat here over the summertime. Here we are again, and Adelaide is alive. As we've mentioned in the cricket, I'm just so stoked for Adelaide that it went for the full five days. It would have been pretty disappointing if it was cut short. You know, out and about in the city on the streets, people are just here to have a good time. Whether you're a barmie, army's you know, drowning in your sorrows or the Aussies celebrating. I mean, it's just a great time to be in Adelaide.
00:02:20
Speaker 4: The Barmie Army will be on the program this morning, so we'll ask them where it went wrong. Did you see the pictures, Casey, of the Barmi Army cleaning up their own mess?
00:02:29
Speaker 6: Just incredible. I mean, what incredible spirits that they have there. They recognized, they saw all the rubbish and they've gone, oops, that's us and they've gone and cleaned it up.
00:02:39
Speaker 5: So good on them. Great spirits they were. I mean I was out.
00:02:42
Speaker 6: There on that forty one degree day when they were there in the afternoon and you know, these guys have never even been in heat like this before and they're just there to bring the vibes, the good energy, despite the fact that their team were doing rubbish shit.
00:02:55
Speaker 4: It's a shame they can't play cricket, but that's all right. Incredible crowds. We're looking at over two hundred thousand, two one hundred and twenty three thousand people attended the Test match.
00:03:03
Speaker 3: That is incredible.
00:03:04
Speaker 4: It was incredible a couple of weeks and amazing performances by a very own Alex Carey and and trav Head, a little bit of question marks over Nathan lyn Now and the Pat Cummins. We'll pull that apart a little bit later this morning, but a huge show on the way. We're off to the US very shortly, but we want to hear from you this morning because Casey, you have achieved something that is greatness.
00:03:27
Speaker 3: There is a certain form.
00:03:28
Speaker 4: Of greatness regift to present. Tell us how did it play out?
00:03:33
Speaker 7: Oh?
00:03:34
Speaker 6: Look, I'm working Christmas Day, so of course in the family we have Chrissy beforehand, so we had that yesterday and rustling together some last minute gifts, of course, and we were gifted a beautiful set of actually plates that are designed here in South Australia. But we didn't need them. I thought someone else in the family did, so we were gifted them. We were open about it, We're honest, and they were taken.
00:03:57
Speaker 3: It was great.
00:03:58
Speaker 6: So they go to someone that actually wants them. So we want to hear from you, guys. Regifting do you do it?
00:04:04
Speaker 3: Is it allowed?
00:04:05
Speaker 5: Is it taboo? Do you tell the person that you've regifted or is their guilt involved? What are your thoughts?
00:04:11
Speaker 4: Well, I regift a present from five hit to five double a every year to my mother and she absolutely loves it. We get a Charles Worth giveaway here at double A and it just makes sense. It just makes sense. And she still hasn't figured it out.
00:04:24
Speaker 3: And that's all right. I'm rolling.
00:04:25
Speaker 5: Well, she doesn't know.
00:04:26
Speaker 3: She'll be listening, so sorry, ma'am. That's all right.
00:04:28
Speaker 4: But we have an amazing prize to give away which you can also regift if you like, if you're not organized, if you want to impress your in laws, this is the time to get on the phone. Eight double two three double low, double low. We have a three kilo bag of extra large cooked prawns and two dozen freshly opened SA West Coast so Juna oysters to give away, all thanks to our friends at sam Tas. They're an incredible business. Eight double two three double low, double ow. We want to hear your regifting stories. Is it acceptable? Is it not acceptable? I mean it's good for recycling, isn't it?
00:05:04
Speaker 5: Absolutely well?
00:05:05
Speaker 6: I mean it's it's less presence ending up in the trash, presents that people will actually want. And can I say SA prawn's at the moment. We had a plateful of them yesterday and they just taste incredible, So what a prize to be giving away eight double two.
00:05:20
Speaker 4: To three double O double OA lines available. Were also happy to take your weekend wins. Did you have a weekend win? I know Travehead and Alex Carey certainly did. Travis Dad will be on the program a little bit later.
00:05:31
Speaker 3: Of course.
00:05:32
Speaker 4: The biggest story across the world continues to be Bondai and Well last night a vigil taking place and our Prime Minister well, he didn't receive the welcoming he perhaps wanted. You can feel the anger in the crowd and I think it represents the anger right across Australia casing.
00:06:06
Speaker 6: And I think for those that haven't seen the pictures yet, it is an interesting scene. He's arriving to the vigil. His wife Jody is hand in hand with him there as well. Certainly a frosty reception for the PM, but not the reception that other leaders.
00:06:24
Speaker 5: The new South Wales.
00:06:25
Speaker 6: Premier Chris Mins, he was very much welcome to the event. The new South Wales opposition leader was welcomed as well as the federal opposition Season Lee as well, so really interesting reception. There was a gentleman, well, a man in the crowd that had to be grabbed by police as well for getting too close to the PM two. So really interesting scenes and we'll dive a bit more into that later on in the show too.
00:06:48
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll head to Bondi after seven, but we have lines available eight double two to three double o doublo. We want to hear your regifting stories. We'll take your break and we'll come back with those after this. Good morning to you if you're joining us for the very first time. A top of twenty three degrees right across Adelaide, A little bit cloudy, a little bit wind windy this afternoon. We'll get you across the latest weather after six thirty. Let's turn to news headlines this morning, and as we mentioned, the fifteen victims of last Sunday's terror attack have been honored in a vidual at Bondi Beach. Thousands gathered. It was incredible. We saw the leader of the New South Wales government, Chris Mims, and the opposition leader at Susan lee Or. They received a lot of cheers and welcoming. The Prime Minister not so much. He was booed and had people running towards him making threats. He was concerning, but I think it represents the tone of Australia at the moment.
00:07:42
Speaker 3: The Executive.
00:07:44
Speaker 4: The Council of Australian the Juries Alex Reichen, told the gathering he won't be discouraged in regards to the violence and the horrible things that we saw take place last week.
00:07:56
Speaker 8: So I have chosen to return to standard then on that now sacred ground, on the first nut of Hunekea next year, together with my three daughters, to kindle the lights and praise the Almighty proudly as an Australian and as a Jew.
00:08:17
Speaker 6: And from this vigil I learned, I guess a really important word of many people might be familiar with it, but mitzvah the simple word of basically giving and sharing and providing some light. And I think at a time this time of year, around Christmas time and in the wake of bonder, we can all find ways of giving some lightness and doing acts acts of good and good deeds.
00:08:42
Speaker 5: And that's essentially what mitzvah is.
00:08:43
Speaker 6: And I know it's a term from the Jewish community, and whether we're Jewish or not, I think that's a term we can take on this festive season.
00:08:51
Speaker 4: And wasn't it incredible. Here in Adelaide. We saw John Williamson before on the first day of the test. Last night we saw all the Australian cricket team arm in arm seeing the story. I think that the test has certainly brought Australia together and brought some harmony, which is what we need. A lot of anger out there and we get the anger and we see the anger particularly in the text line at the moment. But look, unfortunate Christmas time. It couldn't come at a worse time. So hopefully we can try and rally and get together. Absolutely another big story and GPS are urging Australians to get vaccinated against the flu.
00:09:23
Speaker 3: As far as i'm allwear, every.
00:09:24
Speaker 4: Single person in South Australia at the moment has the flu and it's obvious to see with over one hundred thousand flu cases being reported in the country since October, the highest number on record, and the AMA is calling for people to be careful and when you're in those social occasions.
00:09:41
Speaker 3: To bring in social distancing, which we haven't seen for a while.
00:09:44
Speaker 6: Case yeah, I mean even in our workplace at Channel seven, we've had people go down with the flu just in the last week or so, and it yeah, does make you think when you're sort of short staffed at this time of year, you might need to be bringing in the masks and the extra hand sanitizer and being careful because no one wants the f.
00:10:00
Speaker 4: Well, it is convenient timing, I mean, the weather's nice Christmas time, the cricket was on on it sure.
00:10:05
Speaker 6: And it sucks for the people that genuinely have the flu and they are sick and they meet the days off.
00:10:09
Speaker 4: Hey, we can still make fun of them and make it sound like they're taking a SICKI. If you are taking asiki this week, we'd love to hear from you. I'm happy to give you a We've got ice cream to give away as well, if you want to come in and tell us what your excuse was over.
00:10:20
Speaker 3: The last couple of days.
00:10:21
Speaker 4: Throat correct correct for these couple of days, We'd love to hear from you, and I'm sure we can figure out a price.
00:10:28
Speaker 3: The response to Bondi has been incredible.
00:10:30
Speaker 4: Casey and everyone right across Australia has been asking and wondering what they can.
00:10:35
Speaker 3: Do to help.
00:10:36
Speaker 4: And there was a call put out late Sunday night and early Monday morning, for Australians to give blood, and they have certainly done that. Emily Granlin is from Life Blood and she joins us now, Emily, good morning. You've got new statistics on the incredible outpouring of assistance and obviously blood and plasma that Australians have given.
00:10:57
Speaker 9: That's right.
00:10:57
Speaker 10: Look, we saw the best in people shine through at a very dark time in our lifeblood donor sense of close to fifty thousand people donated blood across the country in the past week and that's helped to replenish the blood supplies that supported those BONDI patients and more than one hundred and twenty thousand people booked future appointments. So we just wanted to say today that we are so grateful and we want to thank the Australian community and the South Australian community just their overwhelming response.
00:11:28
Speaker 6: Emily, how did Lifeblood go about? I guess looking after all this sudden rush of people coming in. I mean I'm someone that will regularly try and donate blood and sometimes booking in you you try and find a time or a day that suits in the next week or so, and it can be difficult to book in. Did Lifeblood have to you know, did you have to have an onslaught of extra staff to come in to handle this rush of people just really desperately wanting to help out.
00:11:53
Speaker 10: Oh look, we were all certainly working really hard last week. We wanted to make sure that we were there for people when they wanted to book in. Our website did crash initially under that weight of people that wanted to do something good and wanted to book in, just temporarily. So we managed to get that fixed, But that shows just how people did want to do something to help. And we've just had stuff yet working in our donor centers, working behind the scenes. That was just six people, you know, moving blood around in our processing centers. Everyone's been working really hard now.
00:12:30
Speaker 6: When it comes to encouraging new people to donate blood, I mean this has been a push that's been around for years. You have your regular donors, but it's always hard to get the new people to come in. Of these fifty thousand that have come in the past week, is there an idea of how many I guess new people, first time blood donors are coming in and the message behind that.
00:12:50
Speaker 10: Yeah, look, we have seen a lot of people put a hand up to book an appointment and donate for the very first time, and that's been well more than three thousand people. In South Australia, it's been more than three hundred. So we are so grateful for those people who have seen this and thought there's something that I can do to help. You know, sometimes a tragedy like this a reminders just how vital having a reliable blood supply is and we know that that's only possible due to real people donating. And the reality is that we do need thirty three thousand blood donations every single weeks for patients in hospitals right across the country, people that rely on blood for surgery or for their cancer treatment, the childbirth, for all sorts of different things.
00:13:42
Speaker 4: So moving forward, if people are listening and they haven't given blood before and they're wanting to do, so, what are the in demand blood types?
00:13:50
Speaker 10: Look, there's nothing in particular at the moment that is higher in demand. We do welcome all different blood types and if you don't know your blood types, you can donate and since find out once you've donated what blood type you are. We are open on the Christmas Day in now Marion, Modley Port Adelaide and Region donors centers as well. So if you're looking for something a bit different to do on Christmas Day, something you know that feels a bit meaningful, we are open on that day. We're also open at most of our centers on New Year's Day, so Beneath of Blood doesn't stop, so we certainly work through every day.
00:14:29
Speaker 11: Of the year.
00:14:30
Speaker 3: It's incredible work. Emily Granlin from Life Blood.
00:14:33
Speaker 4: We appreciate your time this morning and the incredible work that you and your staff have done over this period, and as always, thank you, Thank you. Join the conversation eight double two three double low. We have lines available because we have the amazing product from sam Tas Seafood. We have got key loads of prawns to give away, We've got oysters to give away. We want to hear from you. Is regifting acceptable. Casey is a fan of gifting. I'm a fan of regifting. I think it works. It's looking after the environment, you're looking after everybody. I don't see a problem with it at all, Caseie, not at all.
00:15:07
Speaker 6: And I think we've had some comments on the text line that you need to be careful that you don't regift back to the same person. Well, I think that's that's on you to be organized in terms of who gave you the gift in and where it should be directed to next. But if free gifting isn't for you, well then maybe the regifting should should go to your local charities as well. I mean that's always an option to.
00:15:27
Speaker 4: Certainly, And a big exciting day for yesterday, Casey, it was of course gravy day.
00:15:33
Speaker 12: And give him a.
00:15:34
Speaker 13: Love dangers and the Bank of Darling tell him an I'm sorry, a stream of this time and the reader, I've think enough Christmas morning when stand.
00:15:55
Speaker 1: Now?
00:15:55
Speaker 3: That's it's an age old debate. How do you make the grave? Who makes the gravy? And your fan?
00:16:01
Speaker 5: Just to be honest, it used to be my grandma.
00:16:03
Speaker 6: We had our first Christmas without Grandma this year, so that wasn't done. But the brother, my brother took it on this year. And usually for us in the family, traditional gravy is from the juices and the leftovers from the red meat or the turkey, and you mix it up with the corn flour and you stir and stir and stir and stir until you've got all those lumps done. But I think this year we resorted to the packet gravy, but it did just fine.
00:16:27
Speaker 4: Well, I'll throw my mother and my extended family under the bus. They love the packet gravy, but not the good gravy. I'm talking the cheap, horrible, nasty gravy.
00:16:36
Speaker 5: Oh, the powdered stuff that you mix up.
00:16:38
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're not talking Maggie, the Maggie yellow tub, the pub gravy that is insane.
00:16:43
Speaker 3: We all love that. But unfortunately, for many years, gravy, well maybe just cooking in my family's household wasn't amazing. But that's all right.
00:16:51
Speaker 4: Forced beIN offen for myself and figure out how to cook. After all, Let's head out to the phones. Peter and Clarence Gardens. Good morning to you.
00:16:59
Speaker 14: Yeah, good morning guys.
00:17:01
Speaker 1: Regifting to me, it depends, you know. I you know, I definitely received presence that you just knew were regift gifted to you, and I initially you can get mad, but I look at that person's financial status and that that sort of tips it either way for me. If they've got money and they do that, I think that's a bit a bit poor. But you know, if they're struggling financially, you just just appreciate it, you know, you appreciate the situation, then you take that into consideration.
00:17:28
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a great sentiment, Peter. But you mentioned that you sort of you tend to work out when it's been a regift. What's some of the giveaways for you?
00:17:39
Speaker 1: I guess just in the social circle if you if you know what I mean, when you talk amongst yourself and you realize that you know, maybe that was given given.
00:17:48
Speaker 5: To you've recognized the gift.
00:17:50
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah, exactly, and I've got to I did do it in my younger years, you know, I guess out of a poverty mentality. But I think, look, if if people have it within their means, you know, to give, and especially when you have given them nice presence over the years, and they you know, look, get something like that in that spirit, then it's probably not not well received. But you know, there are people that are doing it really really tough, and it's their only means. You know, They've got to look after their family, their children, and they don't have surplus to reciprocate to other people. So you know, you just take that in the spirit of Christmas.
00:18:25
Speaker 4: Yeah, well that was really nice, Patter Unfortunately, I'm just a tight ass that doesn't go out and buy presents, but I appreciate the same of it. Good on your Peter. Let's set out to Salisbury playing Chandell. Good morning to you.
00:18:36
Speaker 15: Good morning guys. Look, I think with regifting, someone's gone to the trouble to give you something. It doesn't matter how big, how small, that's what they can afford.
00:18:49
Speaker 9: Are their thoughts got into it.
00:18:51
Speaker 15: I don't think you should we gift if you don't like it, donate it to Saint Finning's or local charity or a score someone that's unfortunate.
00:18:59
Speaker 16: But come on, you know, Chandell.
00:19:03
Speaker 3: Is this a personal attack? This feel like it's a personal attack.
00:19:07
Speaker 15: No, not at all, But you know it's just a thought that there's so many people are fortunate. Yeah, just donate it to someone.
00:19:16
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, I like the ideas Chandell of regifting it, but in the sense of going to charity, so someone that genuinely might need or want that gift as well.
00:19:24
Speaker 4: Eight double two three double O double low lines available. We want to hear your regifting stories. We have an amazing seafood products from Samtas Seafood. We've got prawns. We've got oysters to give away. This is the easiest way to sort out your Christmas lunch. Join the conversation eight double two three double oh, double lot.
00:19:44
Speaker 3: Good morning to you.
00:19:44
Speaker 4: If you're joining us for the very first time, we're taking your calls on eight double two three double O double o.
00:19:51
Speaker 3: The debate of regifting it comes up every year.
00:19:54
Speaker 4: Casey and I are a fan. We've been shamed by Chandell and a few others. Lorraine and morphot Vale.
00:19:59
Speaker 3: Goodby to you, Good morning.
00:20:02
Speaker 5: How are you, Lorraine? What's your thoughts on regifting?
00:20:06
Speaker 17: Well, we used to do gifting part of Chris Kringle things, but now we have a vite product to the people that we don't regift, that we can give to each other. That we put all the food to a basket, take it to charity.
00:20:25
Speaker 3: A wonderful idea again making us feel bad for regifting.
00:20:28
Speaker 4: I appreciate it, Lorain. Let's head out to serve my law. So good morning to you.
00:20:32
Speaker 18: Yeah, good morning. Now we run the local lopshop and we're in the next few weeks we will get presents. People will give us presents they haven't even unwrapped, and price tags or attached.
00:20:46
Speaker 6: Yes, so so working in an op shop. What are the kinds of things that I guess op shops are needing at this time of year or the kinds of gifts that you're hoping people regift to you.
00:20:57
Speaker 18: Well, you know, we take all sorts of things. All we ask for and we swamp this time of the year. All we ask for is that it's clean, that it's usable, that it's not broken, dirty, smelly, and we get a lot of that unfortunately. Just you know, if we love your donation, thank you very much, but just have a second look at it before you ask us to sort through it, because you'd be horrified to what we see. And everything else is appreciated. It just and you know all op shops are the same. We all go through it, but this timming year is particularly bad, and you know it's a matter we have.
00:21:44
Speaker 4: To you gotta sort through it all. It's a big master volunteers. Yeah, good on your so appreciate your call. Let's it out to theban and Sam, good morning to you.
00:21:52
Speaker 19: Good morning guys, how are we good?
00:21:55
Speaker 3: Sam? Tell us regifting fan or not a fan?
00:21:58
Speaker 19: It's the most common regifting item in the say, even the Italian community is the panotony.
00:22:07
Speaker 6: Yes, I wouldn't be opposed to being regifted a panatoni.
00:22:12
Speaker 19: Everyone is guilty of regifting the panatony because you know, during the festive season, people visit each other and the end that was two three, four panatonies. What the hell are you going to do with all of these? But Joe Vardi in the comedy Sketches, he actually uses that because what I do, I marked my panatoni. If it comes back to me, I.
00:22:41
Speaker 3: Know it's not a bad gift to have. I reckon. I'm happy to take anyone's panatonyant.
00:22:47
Speaker 6: Panatony you can turn into anything. I mean, worst case, if you don't want it, your chicks will probably want it to.
00:22:51
Speaker 3: Bread, batter, pudding. And let's head to the US.
00:22:53
Speaker 4: It was a pretty interesting story over the weekend when we saw more and more photos and files release from the Epstein files. It has been a story that has captivated the world. Jeff Parry is in the US for seven years. Jeff, good morning to you. What more have we learned over the weekend?
00:23:12
Speaker 20: Well, good morning guys. Yeah, we saw the deadline for these for the release of all of these documents was last Friday. We know that the US Department of Justice, which was by law required to release all of the documents that it's held, and by the way, these have been collected over years and years because they've been looking too Epstein for that long, they didn't do that. So it's a fraction of what the hundreds of thousands of documents that they have. And what we've seen over the weekend is some very interesting photos but also some photos. In particular, one that's of interest in that was of Donald Trump. It was it was an image of a photo of him with amongst others, in a draw in apparently the desk office desk of Jeffrey Epstein. That was that came out and then it was with drawn taken back. The link to it has mysteriously disappeared gone. So to date, no photos of Donald Trump, but photos of lots of other people that we recognize.
00:24:10
Speaker 6: Yeah, Jeff, there's a lot of questions being raised about you know, the true I guess, well, the true image of the images being released, and that a lot of them have been sort of kept away from the public eye, even though the image that they're trying to put out is that everything is being released.
00:24:29
Speaker 20: Well, yeah, and this now because of this this sort of growing suspicion that you know, this whole thing is being manipulated by the Department of Justice, and of course that's part of the Trump administration. And Trump was opposed to the release of these documents until there was an overwhelming there was only one vote against it. But in Congress, you know, Democrats, Democrats and Republicans to almost a person, you know, voted for these for this, you know, to compel the Apartment of Justice to release it. That kind of forced Donald Trump to sign it into law. But that's a law that's now been broken, so you know, it remains to be seen, you know, how this gets sorted out. The Department of Justice is saying that you know, everything that it holds will come out over the next two weeks. That the task of getting it all out, even though they had thirty days, was just too much. But you know, they're promising that everything still will come.
00:25:24
Speaker 4: Out plenty to play out. Jeff Parry in the US for seven years. Appreciate your time this morning.
00:25:29
Speaker 20: You're very welcome.
00:25:30
Speaker 3: Let's turn Casey to a big story.
00:25:32
Speaker 4: It's in fact, one of the biggest stories here in South Australia the algill bloom, and in recent weeks we've seen some really positive signs. We've seen that here on the Metro coastline it's almost non existent, which is fantastic. We've seen some a little bit of concerning stories and images coming out of kangaro Wiland, but a big step forward is the changes and restoring of fish in bag limits and how much fish you can catch. Lucy Hood is the Minister for a Climate, Environment and Water and she joins us now Lucy, good morning to you. I guess for fishermen and fisherwomen and fishes everywhere, it's an exciting time that they can be back on the water and we're back catching two really important species in our South Australian coastline.
00:26:13
Speaker 11: Yeah.
00:26:14
Speaker 21: Absolutely, John, and good morning to you and Casey and all of your listeners. Yeah, this is some great news, particularly as we head into Christmas and the festive season, people heading to our coastal communities for the summer break. So what we always said when we put these temporary restrictions in place, we said we'd always regularly review them, be guided by the science. And as you've said, we've seen such promising results with the testing results with Karnia, you know, like the twenty one metro testing sites, we've basically seen it at zero or low in regards to the metro area. So what we're doing is that people can now recreational and charter boat fishes can now once again catch their full bag and boat catch limits for blue swimmer, crab and s and garfish in the Spencer Golf which is great news for those reck fishes. And we've also lifted the restrictions on migrant tree fin fish species in the golfs in Vincent and Kangaroo Island fishing zone as well. So they're species like Australian herring, barracuda, bulaway, southern bluefish, tuna, westn Australian salmon and yellow tail kingfish.
00:27:22
Speaker 6: So you say, the state governments following you know, scientific advice and evidence based on that. So is the scientific advice saying that we're starting to see these fish species come back into the Spencer Golf You know, we're seeing the photos and the images even if you don't live near the coast, the water is starting to be crystal clear. Is there the evidence to say that these species are coming back into the Spencer golf and that they are healthy.
00:27:47
Speaker 21: That's right, Casey. As we said, we were always going to be guided by the science as we responded to the algal bloom. So the latest scientific review of the fish stock, so that includes updated scientific assessment. It does indicate that the blue swimmer crab in southern garfish stocks are performing sustainably in this sense of golf. So that means we can respond and means that rex fishes can once again catch their full bag and boats limits for those two very popular species.
00:28:14
Speaker 4: A lot of fishes, including myself, hanging out for bag limits on whiting to change. Is there any movement or any I guess suggestion that we might see a change in the whiting bag limits in before Christmas or in the coming weeks.
00:28:28
Speaker 22: That's right.
00:28:28
Speaker 21: It's such a beautiful fish to catch, isn't it.
00:28:30
Speaker 11: John.
00:28:31
Speaker 21: So that's why we have our gaol bloom task for so we're always being updated by the experts led by Professor Mike Speer. So these are all of the things that we just continue to monitor, continue to get updated on the latest scientific assessments, and so we'll continue to do that as we are heading to summer.
00:28:50
Speaker 4: Lucy hood the Minister for Climate and Environment, appreciate your time this morning. Let's head to well the most important people in this scheme of things, rec fishers say, I should desiree good.
00:29:00
Speaker 3: Morning to you. Your team must be very excited about this news.
00:29:05
Speaker 11: Yeah.
00:29:05
Speaker 23: Absolutely, It's something we've sort of worked towards with government and we've put together our needs and we've communicated that quite clearly. And the expectation was always that, as mister Lucy Hood said, you know, we scale back as quickly as possible when the and when the science suggested it. So we welcome the movement and it really builds conference in the community that you know, the labor government following through on what they've said.
00:29:31
Speaker 5: Asha, what are the fishes telling you.
00:29:34
Speaker 6: They're starting to get back out on the water, They're back on the coast, they're back on the jetties. It seems to be that people are starting to find fish again. What are people telling you about what they're seeing what they're finding. Are fish looking good and healthy again back in these areas.
00:29:50
Speaker 23: Yes, so, particularly those migratory and flaging species that we've had. Bagament's really stated, they're really good. We're seeing almost unprecedented amounts of Australian stamonds back in our golf, which is good to see. But you know, there's a lot of interest in and as you suggested, the King George widening bags lims, especially in the Spencer golfs zones and particularly the zoning themselves of those Fisheries Management zones, because we don't want to be extending that those restrictions any further than we need to. So you know, coming into Christmas and the further summer period is really important that we look into those those zones themselves and open up areas as quickly as we can where we're able to. Because the Spencer golf whitening fish is performing generally pretty well.
00:30:38
Speaker 3: Yeah, certainly.
00:30:39
Speaker 4: I know we've seen a lot of pictures of dead garfish that it's been a species that has been heavily impacted by the albill bloom. Are you confident that now is the right time with the stock assessment or do you think that maybe we should have we should leave it a little bit longer to build up the stock.
00:30:54
Speaker 3: So is this the right time from what you're seeing?
00:30:57
Speaker 23: There's something called the cpu E. It's it's a measurement that measures sort of relative abundance on species, and when that's high, it means there's a lot of fish around and it means that the fishery is performing well. So if somebody goes fishing commercially, for example, and they catch three kilos in a net shot compared to one, then you know, suggest that the fishery is really good. And that's one of those key key metrics. And when the CPUE is up with like it like it's suggested it has been, you know that that means that the fishery is performing well so and it hasn't been particularly impacted by by our keyears as bad as other species like calamari for example. So you know, garfish are really resilient, they move up and down the gulf. They've got a really large egg which is quite efficient as spawning, so you know, they're really good fish and a really good species to lean into, as well as crabs which are which are proving to be quite resilient in this process as well.
00:31:59
Speaker 6: Absolutely, as from Breckfish say, thank you so much. An exciting time for all fish shows and great time of year for some of these restrictions to be lifted, and just so fantastic to see that we are starting to see people catching fish again and they are looking good and no doubt tasting great too.
00:32:14
Speaker 24: Yeah.
00:32:14
Speaker 4: Absolutely, twelve to seven, let's head to the weather Bureau. Jenny Horvat is on duty. Jenny, good morning to you all. Eyes on the Christmas Day forecast. But what can we expect today?
00:32:23
Speaker 25: Yeah, look, a bit of a cloudy start out there at the moment. We saw our minimum temperature of thirteen point one degrees about four am this morning. Currently it is just under fifteen degrees at the West Terrace Night Appare observation site. Well, aiming for blow average temperatures today around twenty three degrees for the city. I'd same around the suburb of twenty two or twenty three, more likely around twenty two around the coast twenty one on the forecast. For Mount Barker. Things are pretty stable at the moment. We've got a ridge of high pressure pushing in. Embedded within that though, it's a bit of a cold front that will clip the southeast overnight, so tomorrow we could start the day with a little bit of light shower activity, especially in the early morning, but we are looking at dry conditions from sort of late morning into the afternoon. Through there, so again a cloudy start, will see that cloud clearing Tuesday and similar temperatures that minimum looking at around fourteen degrees amy for twenty three for the maximum. That high pressure system will start to move into the bike, keeping things nice and stable again, a little bit of cloud lingering on Wednesday, maybe a little bit cooler for that minimum around twelve degrees maximum getting up to around twenty five, and then as we head on into Christmas again really stable with that high pressure system, got a bit of suddenly airstream maybe picking up a little bit in that southeasterly, but essentially we'll see a morning cloud again clearing for a Sunday afternoon twenty five there for the Christmas Day forecast. At this stage, by Friday, we'll start to see that high pressure system moving out to the east, so we'll start to see those winds tending a little bit more easterly and northeasterly by the weekend. So those temperatures on the rise Friday, looking at around twenty nine thirty four penciled in for Saturday and thirty seven at this stage for Sunday there.
00:33:58
Speaker 4: Guys, magnificent good on your Jenny appreciate your time, very important time for the weather bureau. Casey obviously very experienced weather girl, yourself, a lot of people relying on your work at the moment to get Christmas lunch just perfect.
00:34:11
Speaker 6: Absolutely, And you know we're talking there about temperatures for Adelaide, but of course a lot of people have their Christmas lunches in the regions as well, so make sure you check out your relevant forecast for the regions.
00:34:23
Speaker 5: I mean, we had our Christmas lunch yesterday at Victor.
00:34:26
Speaker 6: Look, it may have been a nice day in Adelaide yesterday, but down in Victory yesterday it was grace guys, pretty chilly jacket weather for sure, and a bit of rain and drizzle too. But certainly the end of the week, goodness me. Up to thirty seven degrees on Sunday, that'll be nice.
00:34:41
Speaker 4: It's going to be magnificent. Let's head to save Poul. Senior Constable Matt Brown is on duty. Matt, good morning to you. A very concerning story coming out of Northfield last night with a murder.
00:34:50
Speaker 26: Ah, that's right. John our Man's been arrested following the death of a woman at Northfield last night about eight thirty pm on Sunday, the twenty first of December. Police and Emergency Services we're call to a home on West Avenue following reports of a domestic assault. When police arrived, they found a thirty six year old woman unconscious at the home and officers immediately commenced CPR, but sadly the woman could not be revived. In Eastern District's CIB attended the scene along with forensic Response, crime scene investigators and a forty two year old man was arrested that the scene has been charged with murder. He's been refused BAW and will appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court later today.
00:35:25
Speaker 6: And pretty concerning this one. A drunk driver caught with a very high rating at Salisbury Planes overnight. Too many Christmas drenths.
00:35:33
Speaker 26: I'd guess, yeah, exactly right, Jade. About eleven forty pm last night, please stopped a keya station wagon on Main North Road and the driver underwent a breast test. The thirty four year old man from Northfield returned a positive reading of zero point two nine to one, which is nearly six times the legal limit and of further concern and of probably greatest concern to police. There was also a child in the car at the time with him, so he's been reported for drink driving with a child president in the motor vehicle. He's been issued twelve month immediate loss of license notice and his car has been in pounded for twenty eight days. He will be summers to appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court at later days. And like you say about the extra Christmas strengths and things like that, if this person had just dialed up an uber or called a taxi or got a sober drink sober designated driver to drive them home instead, then we wouldn't be talking about him today.
00:36:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, certainly.
00:36:25
Speaker 4: And finally, a suspicious fire last night at Campbelltown.
00:36:29
Speaker 26: That's right, just before midnight on Sunday, the twenty first of December, police and fire cruis were called to Lockhell Parkway after reports of a grass fire. MFS crews attended and extinguished two fires in close proximity to each other. But luckily we're only limited to grass areas and no buildings or property were affected. But police believe the fires were deliberately this so, which is a bit concerning with the warmer weather coming up and went out. Operation Nomad phase as well. So anyone who may have witnessed the spacious activity in the area last night please call crime stoppers on one eight hundred, triple three, triple zero, and we'll hope you all have a safe summer and a merry Christmas and a happy New Year as well. This is my last radio.
00:37:10
Speaker 3: You're clocking off.
00:37:11
Speaker 26: Before a couple of weeks leave.
00:37:13
Speaker 27: That's right, well, we well.
00:37:14
Speaker 5: Enjoy us summer, Matt.
00:37:15
Speaker 4: We'll appreciate all your content throughout the year and all your team at sape I will continue to speak to you and the team throughout the year. Next year, we're taking your calls on a double two three, double O, double oh this morning.
00:37:27
Speaker 3: We want to know your view on regifting.
00:37:30
Speaker 4: Is it acceptable? Is it not acceptable? Casey and are big fans of regifting recycling. You know that people don't notice, Casey, do.
00:37:37
Speaker 6: No, Well, I think for you and I John O and look, granted we are very privileged and that we get sent gifts in terms of pr things like chocolates, Casey, great, we don't all need kilos and kilos of chocolate in the pantry, so they are always you know, if you're scrambling for a last minute gift idea. Well then if you've got too much chocolate, well that's one way to share the love.
00:38:01
Speaker 4: Well, I have no self control like many people out there. If there's chocolate in the fridge, it's going to go.
00:38:06
Speaker 28: Hey.
00:38:06
Speaker 3: Next year, all eyes on Australia Day.
00:38:08
Speaker 4: I think after the events of BONDI, after what's taken place, it's been a tough year. I think a lot of people will be looking forward to I guess uniting in celebrating what it is to Australia. And this morning the Australia Day Council of South Australia announcing what they're planning. Let's head to Jan Chorley, she's the CEO of the Australia Day Council. Jan, good morning to you and thank you for your time. What can we expect next year?
00:38:32
Speaker 7: Thank you? Good morning.
00:38:34
Speaker 9: Well it's interesting and a lot of people are focusing on Christmas, but it's not. It's so important given the events of last week that we come together on Australia Day as we always do, but I think in a very different way for next year. So it kicks off. I guess when you think about the profound ceremony morning in the morning that commences on Australia Day. That's all lead and shape by our First Nations people. So that will commence at seven point thirty on Australia Day an Elder Part and this is a chance to listen to our sufter and averageal leaders, grounded in their stories and to really experience that really very special ceremony. So that's for everyone. You know, I really encourage people who you know, perhaps haven't been exposed to First Nation ceremony to really come down and just enter into that beautiful space. Then of course it's a very hot day USUE on Australia Day, and we commence the evening events program really around just before six o'clock went with an amazing os like parade and that really comprises all of our community organizations, are intercultural communities parading across into Elder Part where we celebrate the kind of incredible diversity that makes up this country. So that's real, is really special.
00:40:01
Speaker 27: And you don't miss it.
00:40:03
Speaker 9: And then we move into a concert which is really shaped by that's just amazing our fabulous Adelaide New August the festival Statesman. We have Dani Rugis, who's she was a finalist in the winner of twenty nineteen Winner of the Voice in Australia and also just a whole lot of collaborators, artists, performers really respecting some of our best music that we all know and love. So and of course we finished with filenks. You have to finish with firelects on the Statia Day.
00:40:37
Speaker 28: What else can you do?
00:40:38
Speaker 9: So that's that's the program. It's easy, it's free. You know. We invite people to come down as families or on your own or with a group group of mates and just come down and experience this beautiful, beautiful event of unity. Really, that's what it's about.
00:40:55
Speaker 6: Well, gentie, there see you have Australia, our Council for South Australia.
00:40:59
Speaker 5: Thank you for your time.
00:41:00
Speaker 6: I'm sure many will be looking to make their Australia Day plans, and no doubt, in light of recent events, I think the meaning of Australia Day and I guess what it means to be an Australian and how we unite with each other has probably changed, and probably the tone of the way we reflect on that will be different.
00:41:16
Speaker 5: In twenty twenty six.
00:41:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, certainly, have you finished all your Christmas shopping?
00:41:20
Speaker 6: Caseie, I have only because I'm working all this week, so I have to be organized. However, I'm sure there's plenty around that still maybe haven't even started on their list.
00:41:30
Speaker 3: Maybe me there we go. Kylie Neil is the center manager at Harbortown.
00:41:34
Speaker 4: Kylie extended trading hours a huge week for Harbortown.
00:41:38
Speaker 3: What's the best advice for shoppers?
00:41:41
Speaker 29: Oh, I'd say compile a bit of a shopping list, said a little bit of a budget before your arrive. Be a little bit stavvy and know where your favorite retailers are located. And if you're getting a little bit high or blessed all to the last minute and it's going to be a one stop shop at Harbortown, come and store your shopping in guest man and use our complimentary lockers. Check you know, rest both arms, reach out, then keep going.
00:42:12
Speaker 4: Certainly, what can we expect in terms of extended trading hours and extra car parking at Harbortown.
00:42:18
Speaker 29: Well, this week we're trading until five point thirty today, Tomorrow and Wednesdays and we'll do extended parking for Boxing Day. We have additional parking pon the OTR up on West Beach.
00:42:33
Speaker 6: Road, fantastic, Kylie Neil there's and a manager of Harbortown. Of course, if the budget for the Christmas shopping is starting to look a little tight, maybe Harbourtown is the way to go with all those discounts there.
00:42:45
Speaker 4: We're not too far away from the seven thirty news, but we had to get Flipper on to get his analysis on what was a magnificent Test match?
00:42:52
Speaker 3: Flipper, your winners and losers.
00:42:55
Speaker 11: Winners certainly the Australians and losers gee whiz visiting teams don't know what they're called, but yeah, to be look, I mean cricket was the great winner. Wasn't a fantastic event down there at the Adelaide Oval, the crowd it's just brilliant and the performance of the home team and grabbing those ashes now three esip, it's just fantastic. Loser, I suppose Nathan lyon what are we going to do with gazz? I mean, that's kind of the answer, and just that makeup of the Australian side as they move forward. Is it in the short term or is it for the long term future?
00:43:30
Speaker 4: Osmond Kowaja as well. A lot of questions. Well, we've got Pat Cummins in doubt with injury as well. I know we've secured the Test. If you were captain and with all your knowledge and experience, Flipper, what would you be doing for the next Test. Would you be trying to rest certain players or would you be going after it?
00:43:47
Speaker 11: No, I think there's a little bit of both. I think we've got to start to establish I mean, there is going to be that transition of some of the playing stock and we've now got the ashes locked away. Do we start to look for the future and that's what it might be. So yeah, not just short term, but that lengthier term to start to have a look and make sure we've got the right stock available, the right resources available to ensure that Australian continue to perform so well at international level. Let's keep it going age.
00:44:18
Speaker 6: When the South Australians are doing well, the whole team does well, and certainly our hometown heroes sort of they shone, they really shan Thanks so much, rain Wayne, Flipper Phillips there.
00:44:30
Speaker 3: Good morning to you. If you're joining us for the very first time.
00:44:32
Speaker 4: A top of twenty three degrees right across Adelaide, It's it to be an alright day.
00:44:37
Speaker 3: Partly cloudy. Big show still on the way.
00:44:40
Speaker 4: We heard that breaking news would say po a short time ago, pretty concerning murder in the northern suburbs. Will cross to the scene after eight o'clock. The Barmie Army is on the program. We'll speak to well, I'm going to say a hero in South Australia. If not his dad, Simon Head, Traphead's dad, we'll pull apart. What was a magnificent test in our South. I was a hero, absolutely dominating case. And we're still taking your calls and texts throughout the program. We're keen to hear your gravy recipes. We're keen to hear whether or not you approve of regifting. But let's turn to a story that is really affecting a lot of people right across the world. It's lithium ion batteries, and particularly at Christmas time, a lot of parents would be purchasing their children toys and presents which contain a lot of these batteries. We know e scooters are on the rise, electric bikes, electric batteries, you name it, and it is really a concerning issue facing our fire surfaces right across the world. We've seen a number of really horrible incidences take place in New York City. We've seen a lot take place into Satan, New South Wales, and a lot of campaigns trying to I guess, teach the public and provide assistance on how to best dispose of these batteries when they're at the end of their lifetime. And on Friday, the state government announcing a range of drop off centers to guess system reduced the number of battery fires we're seeing in our waste disposal centers and our rubbish trucks. Jeff Swan is the Chief Officer of the Metropolitan Fire Service and he joins us now Chief good morning to you. How big an issue is lithiumind batteries to fire services here in South Australia and right across the world.
00:46:18
Speaker 30: Well, thanks for having me this morning, Jonathan. The batteries are a really important part of our everyday lives. They're in a lot of things that we all use every day, in phones and tools and like you said, e scooters, but you know, laptops and accountless other devices. So it's just really important as we celebrate, you know, giving this festive season, to keep safety at the top of my mind letu mione batteries if they're damaged or misuse, can turn from this amazing helpful tool into hazardous in an instant, causing fires or explosions without warning, and we've had some of those. Just in the last few days. We've actually had a fire, a significant house fire from a lithium ion battery. So it's really important that everyone's stay safe follow those simple safety rules for liftium ion battery.
00:47:08
Speaker 6: Yeah, for the South Australians that think, oh, well this doesn't affect me, I don't own any scooter or I don't buy these things, I mean, as you mentioned, there was a significant house fire just last week.
00:47:18
Speaker 5: It was a townhouse.
00:47:19
Speaker 6: So even though you may not have lithium ion batteries in your house, your neighbor might. They can, as we heard last week, self combust when there's extreme heat involved as well. But Jeff is part of the issue. I mean we're hearing it from I guess e Bike stores and the like. I mean they're getting products that are above board and do all the right checks. But it's when products are imported and brought cheaply offline that we're seeing these products with lithium ion batteries that maybe don't meet the rules and regulations and the safety requirements here in Australia.
00:47:49
Speaker 5: They part of the issue too.
00:47:51
Speaker 30: Look, they really are what we find predominantly a fire. Investigators find that usually it's human intervention actually has a big part. These batteries, when used correctly as per the manufacturer's instructions, are generally very safe. So never use secondhand or non original batteries that's the board online. Always use the correct battery and not a different branded. Use the correct charger that came. Just because you know it's a USB C or a plug that seeds doesn't mean it's the correct rating, So use the correct charger for the device, or label them up when you get them if you need to. Never modify or build your own device. Don't tamper with batteries, and store all batteries in you know or store all batteries in well ventilated areas away from combustible materials, and always dispose of them as per the actual recommended drop off points that they've introduced for South Australia, which is a great initiative.
00:48:52
Speaker 6: Now when it comes to the MFS fighting these fires, as you mentioned, we should be keeping them in well ventilated areas, but quite often these batteries are stored in garage where there's a lot of stuff, a lot of you know, once the battery goes up, well the whole garage can go up and then the house as well. How are you guys armed? Are you guys adequately armed for these unique fires? Do you have enough resources and funding to be able to tackle this issue?
00:49:18
Speaker 30: The MFS, so I really pleased to say in the fire services across South Australia are some of the best trained fire services in the world. We actually have fantastic equipment to keep our people safe. They have the correct equipment with their protective equipment and breathing apparatus to actually fight these fires. So we are always evaluating our resources and working out how to best actually allocate our resources, and some of that is things into community education, which is exactly what we aim to do through your assistance. But yeah, our fire services are incredibly well trained and prepared for these fires. So don't ever attempt to put out these fires. There incredibly toxic and don't ever breathe the fumes or the smoke. Call Triple zero. Close it all behind you so that it's contained to the room and let the fire servers come and do their job because they've got all the right equipment to manage this.
00:50:13
Speaker 4: And this time of year, Chief, obviously a busy time for the mffares, whether it be grass fires barbecue fires, are a really big push for those at home to take their fire safety seriously at this time of year.
00:50:26
Speaker 30: Yeah, look, it really is. We do see it a significant increase people attend those barbecues that they may not have used for a little while, or get things out of the shed that they haven't used for a long time. So we do see a real up increase in the number of fives. So we encourage everyone to just use the right behaviors and those choices really could save your life. But the mfs will be here every day through the festive season. Our firefighters are always on duty and ready to respond, so we will be here every day if you need any at all.
00:51:01
Speaker 4: Just finally, Chief, we saw last week that the Police Commissioner has joined the Crows Board, as I'd say, the equal counterpart at Emergency Services Levy. Are we going to see you joining the port board, the Crows Board or where do you sit?
00:51:15
Speaker 3: I think it's really important for South Australians tonight.
00:51:19
Speaker 30: I'd always always be welcome to help the community at any stage. But I think the Police Commissioner has got a few weeks to runs on the board for me, So maybe when I get to his level of maturity in age, I'll look at something like that. So but until then, I'm very happy just focusing on the fire serve.
00:51:37
Speaker 4: Good on your chief jeff'son the Chief Officer of the Metropolitan Fire Service, and really important messaging there. We're taking your calls on eight double two three double o double ow your gravy recipes, Paul Kelly, of course, inspiring us all to put a little bit of tomato sauce in our gravy.
00:51:52
Speaker 3: John and Mitchell Park, good.
00:51:53
Speaker 11: Morning to you, Good morning to all of you. How are you good?
00:51:57
Speaker 5: Thank you? John? What's your secret to gravy?
00:52:00
Speaker 7: You missed that important ingredient veggia.
00:52:03
Speaker 6: Might veggimite in gravy? Is that because of the salt value?
00:52:08
Speaker 18: That?
00:52:09
Speaker 3: Yet?
00:52:09
Speaker 5: Explain? How how does this taste? How does it work? How much do you put in?
00:52:14
Speaker 7: Mum used to do it when we were kids, borning you to have chutic cook groast every week. And George put white in the grave. Re think, just put a bit of flavor and a bit of talk to it. And she used to do it after met in the meat juices and all that. She used to put them in that as well.
00:52:34
Speaker 4: I'll defend John here Casey because when I cook steak, I put veggimite on steak.
00:52:39
Speaker 3: I know, I'm sorry, you need to try it.
00:52:41
Speaker 6: Well call me on Australia and I am one of the folks that does not like veggimite. So the very thought, I mean even the smell when just knowing that there's vegimite in our pantry like gets me. So the idea of veggimite even going into a sauce or a gravy, sorry, doesn't do it for me.

Speaker 2: Gone LoVa, Shane magnificent hands fall on superb again. Australia have won the Test match, They've won the series three nil, They've retained the Ashes and they've done a demolition job on England in the process.
00:53:54
Speaker 8: There's no better feeling for an Australian cricketer. They dream about it, they that and now they've retained the Ashes have become.
00:54:04
Speaker 3: A part of.
00:54:05
Speaker 8: The history of Australia of ashes cricket.
00:54:08
Speaker 4: Well, forget bastball. We are all talking about trave ball because Travis had Alex Carey combined to provide one of the best partnerships we've seen in recent history in front of our home crowd. So we had to chat to our trave ball correspondent, his father, Simon Simon, good morning to you and thank you for your time.
00:54:27
Speaker 3: Tell us how was the test for you the family?
00:54:30
Speaker 4: It was a remarkable showing of support to everyone right across Australia.
00:54:35
Speaker 22: Yeah, you know, how are we? Yeah? Look, it was a great test match, especially for Forradleigh. The crowds were awesome. A couple of hot days in there which tested it. But to get the crowds they did was really good.
00:54:48
Speaker 6: Now, Simon looked obviously huge celebrations. South Australian's no hard to party, crickets, no how to party. But of course Travis, I mean he led the celebrations in the plan.
00:55:00
Speaker 5: Thanks for the party to celebrate the victory.
00:55:04
Speaker 22: Yeah, I'm not sure it's talking too long to work out what they were going to do, but he's already thinking that for a little bit through the game. But the good thing was they got there at the end. It was a bit of a well, not more asking, but yeah, the first session there, yes, they probably would have went better for us, but the boys dug in and got the job done.
00:55:22
Speaker 4: Yes, certainly we know in previous times that you nearly missed him bringing up a ton of at the previous test. So were you able to see the his entire I guess display of absolute brilliance I'm going to call it, or we're out back in the members, or did you manage to see it?
00:55:37
Speaker 22: All yeah, yeah, no, I watched these getting yet. I was here with some family members and that and we sat up on the stains and watched it. So it was good.
00:55:48
Speaker 6: As as a father, Simon, I mean Travis has just been I mean he's been an absolute hometown hero, you know, leading the Australians. As a father, does it still make you proud when you when you see these moments and him representing his country on the home ground, Oh.
00:56:05
Speaker 22: Yeah, yeah, for sure, Cross does the I think the best thing of the moment for the for the Test match was actually not sanding coin, but just to see him and Alex at the crease there bedding together and I didn't give him the change rings at the end of the game. And one thing that one of was the Fredo Will plays Travis and Alex's names up there together. It's too south Os. He's getting hundreds of the same Test calls now, a bit of a surreal moment for.
00:56:29
Speaker 6: Him, absolutely calls now for a statue. Your thoughts, Simon as trans father, No, No, I.
00:56:37
Speaker 22: Think things like that you probably wait to their careers are ended and then they'll be judged, right. So, look, he's had a good time in edlaid able for the last few years and may it continue. But every year we rock up thinking surely not, but he seems to get another one. But for the accolades and stuff like that, Yeah, I think that's better at the end of people's careers. And then judging then we know there's.
00:57:02
Speaker 4: A few injury concerns regarding Pat Cummings, Nathan Lyon, Steve Smith with a stttle bit of a cloud over his head. Are you hopeful that but we might see traph head Sipping stepping up as skipper for the next test.
00:57:14
Speaker 22: Ah, That's not something I've even thought of, to be fair, And hopefully the guys were upfitting and going, whether it's both Pat and Smudge going out and playing or one of them at least. But the good thing with Shalm the series, I think is three guys being out. Other guys have stepped up and done the job, so I'm sure that will happen again.
00:57:39
Speaker 4: And in terms of celebrations, last night, do we know what time anyone got home?
00:57:45
Speaker 22: No, no, no one knows. We got the Green kids, so Jess and Tradi can enjoy the time together and have some well deserved drinks. Every day in the.
00:57:58
Speaker 4: Ashes certainly not incredible feet and had the entire of Australia on their feet, clapping and enjoying what was a truly amazing innings and tests. Well, Charlie Hodginson is the CEO of Sakka. Charlie, you must be up and about this morning. It was an incredible test. Australia and South Australia turned out in their numbers.
00:58:19
Speaker 3: We broke records. How are you feeling.
00:58:22
Speaker 31: Morning, morning, guys, Thank you for having me. Yeah, it was. It was an incredible week. It was kind of difficult in many ways to look back and think how it could have gone any better. With Charvis and Alex gooring runs, record crowds, Day five finish, it was just it was absolute magic.
00:58:40
Speaker 6: There were early concerns that this might wrap up after three or four days. We might see, you know, a repeat of what we've seen into State. How what does it mean for Saka, What does it mean for Adelaide and South Australia for it to go the full five days and just having that part of the city just come to life.
00:58:57
Speaker 31: Well, I think it's just a great thing for Test cricket really, and we saw the wicket that Hoffley and the team prepared was just the absolutely perfect Test. Much wicket in my view, it turned a bit, it had decent carrying it, and we had roughly kind of three hundred and something rounds and eight wickets every day. It was just that's what Test Crigget is meant to be, and it felt it felt like a really really special occasion. It was the first time that we've held the Christmas Test in this slot, which I think really kind of captured everyone's imagination. Meant that lots of people were back in town for Christmas or were able to get here from other parts of the world, and we're looking forward to building on that in the years to come.
00:59:40
Speaker 4: Certainly, we've been talking trave Ball this morning and there's been calls for a bronze statue for trav But what about Damien Hoff. I think he deserves a bronze statue after the pitch he managed to pull together with his team.
00:59:53
Speaker 31: Yeah, well, we know who's the best curator, him and his team in the world. Indeed, they've been off doing you know, other bits. They're getting asked a lot to go and do droppings in other places. But we make sure that the Adelaide Oval is kept up to the very high standards. I'm sure he's very proud, should be very proud of what he produced.
01:00:11
Speaker 6: Now, there were obviously some challenges, some mixed well, some extremes. Really we had forty one degrees earlier on, we had a little bit of rain delays. But overall has this week just further cemented that Adelaide Oval simply is the best venue to be hosting cricket anywhere in the world.
01:00:29
Speaker 31: I heard that a lot of times this week and I have to say not just from South Australians. There were a lot of a lot of people coming from inter state, a lot of people coming internationally, a lot of English over and genuinely I don't think there's anywhere like it in world cricket.
01:00:42
Speaker 24: We broke our world record.
01:00:45
Speaker 31: For attendance was one hundred and ninety nine thousand. We got to two hundred and twenty three thousand during the week that the show that put on.
01:00:53
Speaker 4: And yeah, absolutely incredible. I think we've lost challenge there there. It was an incredible test match. The sacker, the Adelaide I, all the ground staff, you name it. Everyone came together when we needed it most and put on a truly incredible Test, and we know that going forward the state government as it worked with Cricket Australia to ensure that the Christmas Test is an ongoing fixture part of South Australia, it's going to be phenomenal moving forward.
01:01:20
Speaker 6: Well, I wouldn't be surprised John if as a result of this test and this time of year and the display in the four or five days that this has actually attracted new fans.
01:01:30
Speaker 4: On Friday night, I was out and about in town and there were people that had no idea about cricket, couldn't tell you what a golden duck was.
01:01:38
Speaker 3: You name it?
01:01:38
Speaker 4: There for the vibe where they are out having fun, enjoying the vibes, Well, there was a good vibe mainly because our friend with our friends from the Barmi Army, Adam Canning. Good morning to you, commiserations to you sir. Have you assisted police in their missing person search for the eleven English players?
01:01:56
Speaker 28: Good morning, thanks for having me. Yeah, they've been on the phone. We're trying to help them, but no they're they definitely didn't go missing. Just not quite up to it, just not quite up to it.
01:02:07
Speaker 3: Well, tell us through your experience the Barmie Army is iconic.
01:02:11
Speaker 4: We all love you. We love the way you bring the theater to cricket. It's something that no one in the world can compete with.
01:02:19
Speaker 28: Yeah, no, it's been it's been a really good week again despite the three defeats, we've had three amazing Test matches and three great experiences in birth Brisbane and Adelaide. And actually Adelaide, as I'm sure you know, very special to the Barmi Army. The birthplace of the Barnie Army thirty years ago on the hill there, so there's a lot of history around it, a lot of heritage that the Barmie Army founders and those kind of people that we're following in their footsteps from previous generations have been talking about for many years. So it was great for me personally to be in Adelaide for the first time and we've had thousands of fans here who've had a great time despite the cricket. You know, that's what the barn the Army does, that's what we do. We get behind the team and condition and we make sure that we try and keep the spirit of Test picket alive all around the world. And I think we've had a good go at doing that this week.
01:03:08
Speaker 6: Oh you speak of spirit, Adam, and I think anyone that you speak to about the Bami Army that's either met you guys, or come across you guys, or seen the spirit or seen the celebrations. Despite the result, they commend you on your passion and your authenticity for supporting your team coming all the way over here.
01:03:25
Speaker 5: But you mentioned that the community as well.
01:03:29
Speaker 6: I mean a lot of people are commending you guys for the way you know, you mentioned the hill. I mean, that's your home base and you really owned that in terms of looking after it too. Everyone's commending you for the cleanup.
01:03:40
Speaker 28: Yeah, there's a few of our members that have really taken hold of that this week. And yeah, it was just indicative really of the sorts of things that the Barmi Army do all around the world that perhaps the wider perception and the wider understanding of Barmi Army and community isn't isn't as widespread as we'd like it to be. But yeah, we'll raise lots of for charities, well, will ensure that we leave the grounds as as we found them as much as we can, and we'll try and engage with local communities and Australian fans and be as well behaved as as is actually possible in the states that we travel to. So yeah, we're really proud of those kind of court values and long lived the bar the Army, because I think when the bar Army stops traveling the world watching Test cricket and Test crickets in real.
01:04:25
Speaker 4: Trouble and what do you make of Australians calling it travebill instead of bas ball?
01:04:31
Speaker 28: Yeah, fair enough, swallow every night. You've got to be able to swallow it now. And then I think that the whole basball thing is a complete myth anyway, and Benslow spasmacullum, they don't refer to it as basball, that it's not anything anybody within the England team or ECB refers to us. So I think it's basball.
01:04:51
Speaker 22: You know.
01:04:51
Speaker 28: Myth is something the Australian press have picked up and ran with and it's worked, really, it's got it seems to have. It seems to have taken them momentum that wanted to have. And yeah, trave ball, fair play to me. He's been great. I know he's one of your locals, but he's been great with the Barty over the first three tests. He sons on the boundary, sings along with the songs, claps along, really engaged with the Barmie Army. So it's quite difficult to have an Australian that we actually don't mind. To be honest, he's ingratiated himself with the Barnie Army quite well.
01:05:25
Speaker 4: Incredible, Adam. We appreciate your time this morning. We love the Barmi Army. We appreciate all the effort you go to and in making what was a truly amazing ASHES series and it continues to be.
01:05:34
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for your time.
01:05:36
Speaker 4: Let's head to the news and we'll come back with the very latest on the developments of a really concerning murder in the Northern suburbs.
01:05:42
Speaker 3: Good morning to you.
01:05:43
Speaker 4: You're joining us for the very first time, an hour of power on the way. We'll continue to bring up to speed with the latest in news headlines, but we want to hear from you A double two to three double O double low. We've got some magnificent seafood to give away all thanks to Santas.
01:05:59
Speaker 3: We love our friends at Samtas Sefret.
01:06:00
Speaker 4: We've got a three kilo bag of cooked sa King prawn's the value that one hundred dollars. This is a simply amazing product and it's all yours if you call in, join the conversation eight double two to three double O, double OW. We want to hear your thoughts on regifting. Is it a faux pas? Is it appropriate? Is it sensible? Recycling? Join the conversation eight double two to three double O double O. Also happy to take your calls on gravy recipes. Do you put tomato sauce and dows?
01:06:27
Speaker 6: You don't see you putting a Jedgi might in it? Are you going tradition? Are you trying to be the chef connoisseur?
01:06:33
Speaker 5: Who knows?
01:06:33
Speaker 3: Who knows?
01:06:34
Speaker 4: But we're very lucky to have Casey Trelaw in the studio this week from seven years. She does it all, and we'll pull it apart a little bit later. We'll find out more about Casey a little bit later, particularly what she does when she's not at work, because I think it's truly fascinating and amazing, and we'll pull that apart a little bit later. Let's turn to the breaking story of the day and a really concerning murder in our northern suburbs. Jazz Turlings is there for seven years, Jazz, good morning, what more have we learned?
01:06:59
Speaker 32: Well, good morning, John and Casey. Look. Emergency services were called to an address on West Avenue at Northfield around eight thirty last night following reports of a domestic assault at a home here. Now, Unfortunately, when police arrived they found a thirty six year old woman unconscious at the home and unfortunately, despite the best efforts of paramedics, she was sadly unable to be revived. So Eastern District Police have attended the scene as well as a forensic response crime scene and they have been able to arrest and charge a forty two year old man from the scene and he has been charged with murder. Now he will face the Adelaide Magistrates Court a bit later today, where of course we might be able to find out some more information about just exactly what led to this tragedy. Look, neighbors on the street, this has come as a.
01:07:53
Speaker 33: Real shock to them.
01:07:54
Speaker 32: It sounds like a family live at the address and they say there's never any trouble on this street. So this has come as a complete shock to everyone in the neighborhood.
01:08:04
Speaker 6: Yeah, jas for those waking up in the street, I mean on a Monday morning, you never expect to wake up to the news of a murder happening in your street. Have you spoken to people in terms of do they know the family, has there been issues there before, or has anyone felt unsafe or has this come literally as a complete shock.
01:08:22
Speaker 32: It would be the latter case. This has really come as a complete shock to everyone on the street that we've been able to speak to so far. A portion of the street is sectioned off still as a crime scene this morning, and once we're able to speak to neighbors closer to the scene, that may change. But essentially they say an everyday family are quite interacted with the street as far as we're aware. So this really has just come as a complete surprise to everyone on the street. And they certainly said they didn't even hear any occlications to lead up to this incident last night.
01:08:57
Speaker 4: Truly concerning, and we'll see the very latest tonight on seven News at six. Good on your Jazz, appreciate your time. Really concerning. Unfortunately, this time of year, we see the best and we see the worst. Stories come from Christmas time, and we know it's not an easy time for everyone, So look truly concerning and we hope the family and everyone around them receives the support that they need. We're also receiving word casey of a pretty significant crash in the Unley Park area. We understand a car has hit a tree on Northgate Street at Umley Park, so we'll keep you across that as.
01:09:29
Speaker 3: The morning goes on shore.
01:09:30
Speaker 4: We have a look at a few texts this morning on zero double four eight eight thirty ninety five.
01:09:36
Speaker 34: Yeah.
01:09:37
Speaker 5: Absolutely.
01:09:37
Speaker 6: I mean people have been coming in with their ideas of recipes for gravy. We've talked about veggie Mike, We've talked about tomato sauce from Andrew. He's talked about putting in sliced onions and mushrooms to the gravy. I mean that sounds like upgrave delicious. I'm not sure about mushroom gravy on the roast turkey on.
01:09:56
Speaker 4: Christmas Day though, I think mushroom gravy with anything does it's pretty good. Yeah, I don't know about mushrooms itself. Mushrooms in gravy, I'm happy with that. Let's take your calls on a double two to three double double, Oh, Robbie and Hyde Park.
01:10:10
Speaker 3: Regifting a faux pas or something you're on board.
01:10:13
Speaker 16: With, Oh, good morning, I'm in board. I'm on board with regifting and Merry Christmas to everyone. I think it's a bit hard at the moment, so you know, regifting.
01:10:22
Speaker 25: Is not a bad thing.
01:10:23
Speaker 16: But I do have something really funny to show you on regifting. I actually went to a friend's house last night and I hoped the present and she regifted her free glasses that she's got from the Flagwives. I had to be so polite and I just smiled. It's just fantastic. But they were the free one. So it's hard out there. And I think it's about the thought, really, I think so.
01:10:46
Speaker 6: And I think in the current climate of you know, pennies being pinched and the wallet's tightening and cost of living, I think people still want to be seen to be in the spirit of giving. And if that's the way that they can do it, then so be it.
01:11:01
Speaker 4: Mark Absolutely, Oh good on your Robbie, appreciate your call. Mark in Summertown. Tell us your gravy recipe.
01:11:08
Speaker 14: Well, if you want to give it a little bit of a kick, use the juice from a jar of klipino peppers.
01:11:15
Speaker 3: Well, well we were we talking?
01:11:17
Speaker 4: Are we talking spicy margaritas or are we talking gravy?
01:11:21
Speaker 14: No, gravy, gravy, gravy. You want to check with the punders beforehand, but that it's not over the top. But it's pretty yeah, pretty good.
01:11:30
Speaker 9: Yeah.
01:11:31
Speaker 5: I don't think I could handle that.
01:11:32
Speaker 3: Mark.
01:11:33
Speaker 6: My partner Sam, he would love that. He's all about the spice, But I don't know. I feel like with the traditional Christmas lunch generally there's no chili or spice or jalepeniae.
01:11:43
Speaker 3: They were happy to try it. Maybe Mark, you'll have to bring some in. Good on you. Mark, appreciate your call.
01:11:47
Speaker 4: You are in the running to win this magnificent prize from Sam pass Sea for anyone that joins the conversation. You're in the running to win three kilos of prawn's or fresh oysters. Literally, we are doing it your shopping for If you have to go to the in laws this Christmas, you.
01:12:02
Speaker 3: Are going to look the bomb dot com.
01:12:04
Speaker 4: They are going to absolutely love you, and you're going to get in the inheritance quicker than you ever thought.
01:12:09
Speaker 3: That's the aim of the game. Isn't it Casey?
01:12:11
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, absolutely, And you know what, I think the more unique the recipe for the gravy, the better. So we'd love to hear extra thoughts, extra unique additions.
01:12:22
Speaker 5: Do you like the spicy gravy? You're putting chili in it? Are you putting the jalapino juice in it?
01:12:27
Speaker 22: Do?
01:12:27
Speaker 3: You might go?
01:12:28
Speaker 4: But at sixteen minutes past a Stacey. Another story with that broke late last week was a really sad house fire in park Holm and we've learnt since that that a Vietnam veteran and his wife unfortunately lost everything.
01:12:42
Speaker 3: The investigation into the.
01:12:43
Speaker 4: Fire still ongoing, but we know at times like this it causes the community and forces the community to really do some amazing things. And in the days that followed that fire, we saw the Australian Professional Firefighters Foundation reach out and make a significant donation. We also or the local community come together forming a go fund Me page and Sherry Wilson is behind the go fundi page.
01:13:07
Speaker 3: Sherry, good morning to you and thank you for your time.
01:13:09
Speaker 4: I guess tell us how you became involved with the family and why you decided to step up.
01:13:17
Speaker 12: So I was one of the first on the scene of the fire. I sort of just take a back street to get back onto Marion Road, across the road from my house, and yeah, I actually just stumbled across the fire when it just started. And it was heartbreaking the owners of the house. I've lived in that house for forty three years and we yeah, we had to get his cars out of his shed, which were like vintage cars, and my heart just broke for them. Like, watching that house just pretty much burn to the ground is something that you just don't want to see. And I always loved to give back to the community and try to help. And I just thought, oh my god, Like I just hope that they ensured, which they were, and then yeah, I just started to go fund me, which has raised I think almost a thousand dollars, but the actual owners of the property have blessed them, have come back and said that they don't want to go fund me and that they want to pass that on to people that are less fortunate than they are.
01:14:26
Speaker 5: Wow.
01:14:26
Speaker 6: What an incredible sentiment in terms of community. I mean, there you are, Sherry, trying to help these people out, and they just want to help out others.
01:14:33
Speaker 5: I mean, what other thing?
01:14:34
Speaker 6: Yeah, what is your message to South Australians that you know, if they can, if they are in the means and enable to in terms of being generous at this time of year.
01:14:45
Speaker 12: Yeah, I just you know, everybody is doing it tough, whether it's like you know, paying billers, putting food on the table, but you know, like having that community around here is just amazing and everybody is yeah, really really feeling it at this time.
01:15:03
Speaker 3: Beautiful.
01:15:03
Speaker 4: We'll good on your sher We appreciate what you've done for the local community.
01:15:06
Speaker 3: Our very best coming out at this time of year.
01:15:08
Speaker 6: Casey, Well, Johnny, we've been talking about the idea of regifting. I mean, that's got to be one of the most you know, heartwarming ideas of regifting. I mean, Sherry set up this go fundme page for this Vietnam vet who's you know, lost a whole bunch of their belongings in this house fire, and they say.
01:15:26
Speaker 5: Well, actually we don't need it.
01:15:27
Speaker 6: We're going to regift it to someone else in the community that really does.
01:15:30
Speaker 4: Absolutely, let's continue to take your calls. Gene and Gilberton, good morning to you. Your gravy recipe, good.
01:15:37
Speaker 35: Morning, Well, I think your good gravy is very important in that, especially with a turkey. But with a turkey, there are a couple of suggestions. An easy one is to add some chicken powder that you use for your chicken soup. If you see feel after using the scrapings from the pan, and if you've an onion in your in your cooking, you'll always get a nice, good flavor. But both find another thing in any of the savory sauces and gravies.
01:16:11
Speaker 11: Miso paste.
01:16:12
Speaker 5: Oh wow, that idea better than the veggiem.
01:16:17
Speaker 35: Yes, but there's a white miss paste, and there's also a dark paste. But they a little a little spoon of bat gives. It's used a lot in Japanese cooking, so it's a it's a very very rounded.
01:16:33
Speaker 3: What's what's the phrase?
01:16:34
Speaker 5: A marmae mami amami extra.
01:16:40
Speaker 7: Miso.
01:16:41
Speaker 4: Good on your Jane, appreciate your call. You are certainly in the running. Happy to take your calls. We're taking your calls. A double two three double O double O. Your gravy recipes. We've got prizes to give away. Isabelle, good morning to you, Good.
01:16:55
Speaker 34: Morning to you.
01:16:56
Speaker 36: What's your secret using tomatoes? But I use wolster sauce.
01:17:03
Speaker 3: That sounds the ring gully wooster. Surely do you.
01:17:09
Speaker 36: Want the full recipe? Go on, I use the powdered pow powder. Can I say the name, of course gray Box.
01:17:20
Speaker 25: I use gray.
01:17:21
Speaker 36: Bots, A little red wine and a sprinkling of mixed herbs, dried ones, and Worcester sauce and the quantity of water to make it a reasonable consistency, sitting it in the fry panel or whatever and mix it or in a saucepan.
01:17:48
Speaker 6: I love that we're still getting unique ideas. But as I like that idea, but as my mum would call it, that some people can trip over the word Worcester shear sauces sauce.
01:17:59
Speaker 7: I mean.
01:17:59
Speaker 4: The good thing about gravy is it can cover a horrible meal. So if you're not a great cork or maybe.
01:18:04
Speaker 5: You can get anything.
01:18:06
Speaker 4: The chicken might be over cooked, the turkey might be over cooked. Just lather it and gravy and it's beautiful. It's beautiful, Vinnie and Grange, good morning to you.
01:18:17
Speaker 37: When I make gravy, I like to get everybody nice and cheery, So I've put a few games of vodka in it and mix it up, and you know something, everybody's cheery. For customers at my house.
01:18:29
Speaker 5: I'm not surprised.
01:18:31
Speaker 4: I appreciate your call. Hey, that works. A lot of people do that with past us. You've got what do they call that sauce, the vodka sauce someone.
01:18:40
Speaker 6: But when you cook off the alcohol, when you're cooking with alcohol, it does cook off the alcohol content. So you're pretty safe that you're not going to make your guests to Mary.
01:18:48
Speaker 3: Oh you want to make a marry, don't you? Casey.
01:18:51
Speaker 4: Let's change tack to another story, and it's a story that has affected South Australians for a long time. Now we know healthcare is a significant issue. We know it's significant issues we head into the next state election. But Alex Thomas has been calling for greater assistance for those in rural areas.
01:19:08
Speaker 3: In case you live rurale.
01:19:10
Speaker 5: I can speak for this.
01:19:11
Speaker 3: Yeah.
01:19:12
Speaker 5: We as a kid, we grew up two.
01:19:14
Speaker 6: Hours from Adelaide and as someone that was very sick as a child, as was my brother, my poor mum, the trips to and from Adelaide sometimes once or several times a week for healthcare was grueling. And we know South Australian families are still doing this day to day, week to week.
01:19:31
Speaker 4: Alex Thomas is the founder of from Here to Healthcare, and she's got a very personal story regarding her father. Alex, good morning to you, and thank you for your time talk us through why I've decided to fight for this and your personal story.
01:19:44
Speaker 38: Oh thanks so much for having me this morning, guys and girls. Look, obviously I've got a very personal story. So I've been advocating to my dad for probably around fifteen years as a part of his thirty year journey with chronic illness. So he had diabetes failure, kidney failure, and by the time he passed away, he had seven amputations, and unfortunately, as we drew closer to the pointy end, he received an ultimatum from say Health to either switch the dialysis machine off and passed away or leave his Crystal Brook home and move to Adelaide for care. And you know, we just we'd had enough at that point. That was kind of the final straw. We'd followed the process, we'd tried our best, and look, I just want to acknowledge how much pressure people within the system are in this. I'm certainly not a portionatey blame here, but in that moment I made the decision to do a press release, and that sparked an overwhelming amount of public support, but also stories from other people going through similar things. So that was the moment when I thought, bugger it, no, I've got to do something about this.
01:20:50
Speaker 6: Absolutely, Alex, and you're obviously a family member. I mean, these sorts of issues don't just affect the person that's sick. It is the family, or the friends or those closest to them. I mean sometimes they're the ones that are picking up the slack most of the time.
01:21:05
Speaker 38: Oh, they genuinely are. And I've got a couple of kids under five, I've got a job, and it's not about me. This is really about my dad and everybody else that's in the hot seat one of a better word. But I guess the impact can't be understated, and I think there's an enormous opportunity to move forward to all this.
01:21:25
Speaker 5: What would you like to see change moving forward?
01:21:27
Speaker 3: Alex?
01:21:28
Speaker 38: That is a really fantastic question. I know, I know, so I guess the first thing I want to say is I know that this is an age old problem.
01:21:37
Speaker 19: It's complex.
01:21:38
Speaker 38: There is no single quick fix for any of this stuff. I personally have got a list as long as my arm of things that I think would have made our journey easier, and I know that other people with similar stories have got the same. I think what I want to see change is how rural health is prioritized. And that's why I think it's really important that we sha't like on these lived experiences to help make that a priority.
01:22:02
Speaker 6: Fantastic Well, Alex Thomas, founder from Here to Healthcare, Thank you so much for your time and sharing your story. And I couldn't agree more. It's such an important topic. As someone that's lived rurally and hours from Adelaide, I mean, unfortunately you can't get the full gamut of health care in these regions, and sadly it does mean providing distance between family and loved ones.
01:22:23
Speaker 38: Yeah, that's exactly right. And look, nobody is wanting a royal Adelaide on their local corners. That's not what this is about. They just want some of these challenges, some of these unique challenges to be addressed. Things like travel, things like travel subsidies, increasing that into the current age, things like you know, shortening the amount of time that takes to get to a GP and we're talking six to eight weeks in some areas we're talking about. You know, if you go to a GP and you get a referral for an X ray and then you get a callback, you know, that's another six to eight weeks. So let's not even start talking about if you've got a mental health issue, or if there's something more pressing, or if you need an ambulance and you're looking at you know, up to one and a half hours to get one. So yeah, there's a lot of work to be done. But I'm really cheating to see this put into scotlight.
01:23:11
Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely, well, Alex Thomas, appreciate your time this morning.
01:23:14
Speaker 4: We know, I think it must have been last week or the week before the GP practice in Robe closed for the entire week because they didn't have a doctor. And we've seen repeated issues in the Mount Gambi area out at Port Pirie. It's an issue affecting all of those living regionally and it needs to be addressed as we head into the March election. Okay, see, let's return to the biggest story in the world at the moment, the Bondai massacre. A week on, still the center and focus of so much anger and so much reaction, and well, last night we saw a pretty amazing memorial take place. But what followed we saw crowds building the Prime Minister as he arrived, he offered to speak, he was asked not to speak.
01:23:57
Speaker 3: Have a little listener at the way it played out.
01:24:08
Speaker 4: A lot of people very angry and all sides of government calling for a rural commission into antisemitism, into the way the Bondai massacre occurred, our federal intelligence agencies, the AFP. A lot of people questioning whether or not the ball has been dropped, a lot of people suggesting that the changes to firearms legislation is simply a diversion tactic, and I tend to agree. We heard from the Police Commissioner earlier last week that we have some of the toughest firearm legislation here in South Australia and the techs and balances do exist in South Australia. New South Wales had a little bit of improvement to do so, but still very much a debate whether or not a rural commission should take place, and the New South Wales Premier chrus Mins is calling for it.
01:24:55
Speaker 24: We need to make changes in relation to security. We need to make changes in relation to attack and targeting anti Semitism and we need to look at radicalization in our community. And to do all that and to bring it all together, we need to have an independent investigation, a royal commission into exactly what happens. I've got bits and pieces of the jigsaw puzzle. We know parts of why this occurred on Sunday, but until we have the full picture and I can explain that to the people of New South Wales all our job's not done. So we'll be looking to do that in the coming days.
01:25:27
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's really interesting seeing the different sides of government and what they're calling for. The federal government is looking into an internal investigation into security and how that was handled from Azio and the AFP perspective, whereas you have the labor premiere there from New South Wales, Christman's calling for the royal commission, also the opposition calling for a royal commission as well. No doubt many others would love to see an independent inquiry into exactly how this unfolded, how it can be prevented in the future. As you mentioned, John O, there's been talk about gun reform and people having ideas in terms of well do we need to be targeting Australians that you know are abiding by the rules, and you know there is state to state, there is different rules when it comes to gun reform. Here in South Australia, we are quite strict and stringent, as we've heard in New South Wales not so much. Those rules will be tightened there. The state government there has been recalled and they are looking at changing those laws as well. But we've got Jillian Fanel from the livestock Essay. How are you seeing I guess the discussion and how it's being portrayed around gun reform and how that might affect, you know, people in the regions rural Australia.
01:26:40
Speaker 9: Thanks thanks for having me on this morning.
01:26:42
Speaker 39: Actually, I'm quite pleased so far with the sensible approach taken by the South Australian government in regards to these discussions. Obviously you have just talked about it before, but we do have very very good regulations here in South Australia. It is a bit of a concern to see what's coming out of New Southways because obviously the rest of the states will take their sort of lead from that, and it is also a pretty disappointing thing to see from some of our urban counterparts that whenever there is a tragedy that occurs that involves a firearm, all gun owners are treated as if they are part of that extremist cohort and must be regulated. It's the actions of individuals that do that when the vast majority of gun owners responsible, law abiding, sensible people who would never even cross paths of the police, let alone committer an atrocity like that.
01:27:38
Speaker 6: Exactly right, And Gillian, there was a lot of talk or concern in the initial stages, particularly in the wake of BONDI that the individuals they had six registered firearms, and people are thinking, gosh, in urban Sydney, why does someone need six guns. I mean, look, there's obviously a range of different types of guns. There can be different reasons. That's especially so in live stock settings, in rural settings, livestock or farmers in general, they already deal with a lot of red tape when it comes to operating their businesses. Is the last thing we need is additional red tape. When it comes to firearms.
01:28:14
Speaker 39: It is additional red tape. And especially I haven't interacted with any of the other state's firearms regulations, but I'm pretty familiar with South Australia's ours are very good and very strict, even us in a livestock setting. We live in a large pastoral station in the Northern Territory border. We wanted to obtain a firearm with the same caliber of one that we already owned. That permit to acquire was initially rejected and we had to really explain really hard why we needed another gun, which, in the eyes of the law is the exact same one as the one we already possess. So this is the frustrating thing. A lot of people are saying, well, you shouldn't be allowed to do this, and you shouldn't be allowed to do that. We're already not allowed to do that, as the regulations already exist, but they keep calling in for more regulations, more relations, which leads to governments wanting to appease the general public, wanting to be seen to be being proactive, and so we end up with regulations that are almost impossible to enforce. They never follow any of these up with the actual funding and resources that departments require to put these rules on and to monitor them, which from what I can understand, was part of the problem in New South Wales. So I'm really happy with the South Australian government.
01:29:26
Speaker 12: They haven't rushed to judgment.
01:29:28
Speaker 39: They are taking things slowly and being very considered and measured, which I think is something that we definitely need at this time.
01:29:34
Speaker 4: I think for a lot of people they don't realize how important firearms are for primary producers and farmers because realistically, they're a tool and your toolkit, and not all tools are the same, and you need more well, you need all different types depending on the situation you're trying to deal with and trying to do it, particularly in a humane and sensible way so that animals don't suffer for longer than.
01:29:55
Speaker 3: They have to.
01:29:56
Speaker 39: Oh absolutely, And you know, different animals require diff diferent approaches, and then there's different distances and different weather conditions, and then you've got different scopes, and you can't keep swapping scopes from gun to gun because then they become inaccurate, which then sort of leads to inadvertent animal welfare, poor animal welfare outcomes if your scopes not accurate. All of these types of things that we as fire our owners understand, and it's the boobery frustrating when people are saying, oh, well, you shouldn't be allowed.
01:30:22
Speaker 9: You shouldn't be allowed.
01:30:24
Speaker 39: You have to do this, you have to They've never held a gun, they don't need a gun for their day to day work. And even in a state like South Australia where we have a lot of families who some farm, some don't, but they maintain a connection to the land, but they live in urban areas and they still carry out duties on the farms.
01:30:40
Speaker 16: And all those sorts of things.
01:30:42
Speaker 39: These people they are not going to come into contact with the law, the vast majority of them anyway, because I can't stick for everyone. But they're doing the right thing. They don't need to have extra regulations put on them because of something that two people have chosen to do for whatever reason.
01:31:00
Speaker 6: And Julian, you've mentioned farmers, you know they do do the right thing.
01:31:03
Speaker 5: Well many many Australians, they do do the right thing.
01:31:06
Speaker 6: They hold the appropriate licenses, they use guns in the right way.
01:31:10
Speaker 5: But do we maybe need.
01:31:12
Speaker 6: To flip the coin and need to look at the people that are obtaining guns unlicensed and obtaining them in the incorrect way, and maybe looking at cracking down on people that are doing the wrong thing.
01:31:25
Speaker 17: Oh?
01:31:25
Speaker 39: Absolutely, And that's when it comes back to resourcing. So a lot of the regulations and things that already exist, we don't have the capacity to actually do the correct checks to go to people's homes and check their storages and safety and all those sorts of things, and because they're just simply not enough people. I'm not sure what happens in urban areas, but in my area, the police physically come to my home at least once a year unannounced, which is fine because you have to be sure you're doing the right thing all the time. You can't just get the nod from the policeman pretend everything's great when they turn up. They turn up, they have the right to inspect your storage and firearms, and they check the serial numbers and all those sorts of things. We already don't have enough police. So we're going to do these sorts of things and regulate and everything as we should be. They need to be given the correct resources to do it.
01:32:13
Speaker 4: Yeah, Gillan, we appreciate your time this morning. Gillian Fennel from livestock essay, I think a lot of people feeling the same way case. See the text line very much representing that a lot of people feel the firearms discussion is just a distraction and we need to look at the radicalization and potentially look at the way that we are allowing people into this country. It's not an easy conversation to have, it's not a nice conversation to have, but people are feeling it.
01:32:39
Speaker 3: More and more. People are concerned about the future of Australia.
01:32:42
Speaker 4: They want their children to have the same upbringing that we have all had, and so a lot of people saying why are we letting in these people with extremist views into our country?
01:32:52
Speaker 6: But I think Gillian makes a really really important point there is that we have these rules and restrictions and you've got to have a license, and you've got to have the approach checks and having certain guns. But the issue is is we've got all these rules, but none of it's being monitored and we don't have the resources. We know here in South Australia we are severely under the resourced when it comes to say police, they don't have the time. We don't know what authority should be doing these checks and balances. But how are we checking that properties are storing their guns correctly, are you buying them legally?
01:33:24
Speaker 5: And things like that too.
01:33:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, really concerning.
01:33:26
Speaker 4: Of course, just last week, late last week, we saw an unregistered firearm used in the process of an alleged murder in McLaren Vale.
01:33:34
Speaker 3: So look, it is an issue. It's a multifaceted argument.
01:33:38
Speaker 4: There's so much to play out, and we'll continue to debate it throughout the week. But some breaking news out of the southern suburbs of Clarendon McClaren Vale. There's been a major theft. Someone has stolen Santa. Matthew Ward is there, Matthew, Good morning, tell us what's played out?
01:33:57
Speaker 27: Good morning. You know there is a think Santa Rilla between Clarendon the Meadows where everyone puts out there Santa's. Some are high quality, some are low quality, but it's all fantastic fun. And we had our Santa underneath the iconic McLaren Vale Region sign just out of Clarendon there and he was a great Santa with a red cowboy Santa Hattanson Ava the Sunnis and my partner and kids spent a lot of time making him and he's been up there a couple of weeks and even the Formula One driver Bouchery Boxes posted a picture of him and he was riding around the region just last weekend and woke up this.
01:34:36
Speaker 11: Morning and he was gone.
01:34:37
Speaker 27: So if someone's having some fun or took him out for a big night, we've been, we've taken back, but it's fit bad to see a week before Christmas, Santa Benie stolen.
01:34:48
Speaker 5: Very sad to see, Matt.
01:34:49
Speaker 6: I mean, anyone that's been driving through the regions in the last week or so, we'll see the effort that country people put up. I mean I was driving through meadows and someone's put Sandra on the toilet.
01:35:00
Speaker 5: He was knocked over.
01:35:01
Speaker 6: We were driving down to Victor and he was knocked over and I thought, I know, Paul Santa. We've come back and someone's fixed him up, right, So really sad to hear. I mean, look, have you guys put in a report to police? Are you hoping he gets tracked down.
01:35:15
Speaker 27: We've posted it on all the various community forums on Facebook and the like and put the call out there. Haven't reported it to police, though, but we hope somebody says having some fun and we'll return it.
01:35:28
Speaker 3: Well.
01:35:29
Speaker 27: Yeah, very sad, and I know that's the same Standra on the toilet. We just we took Santa really yesterday on the way to picking strawberries.
01:35:36
Speaker 22: So be hoad.
01:35:37
Speaker 27: That's happened overnight. So we hope to hope to get him back. So if anyone knows or sees him, or suddenly has a Santra in their laund room, you might want to return him before the cops track you down.
01:35:49
Speaker 4: The commissioner will be onto you. Good on your mat We appreciate your call this morning. We're also tagging your calls on regifting. Is it appropriate or not? Kate and Grange, good morning to you.
01:35:59
Speaker 19: Good morning.
01:36:00
Speaker 33: First of all, Marry Christmas, and my thoughts are with all those poor people from Bondai that lost their lives and the people that are involved in it. As for regifting, I think it's fine to regift if you've received two of the same gift and have no use for both of them, and you could also give it to someone who had usper or someone who's doing it tough. Otherwise, I think you should appreciate the gift and find us even if you don't need it to be and be grateful for the thought. A friend of mine was given us what was supposed to a sorski. I can never say that word Sorski bracelet, but it was actually a fake one, and when she took it back to the shop because he broke within a week, they said, this is not whatever that is and found out that it was actually a cheap bracelet from Target that had been put into one of those boxes.
01:36:58
Speaker 5: And as a gift, that's not the way, you know what.
01:37:02
Speaker 33: But you know what, sometimes I sort of like think about it and think maybe that person wanted to make an impression and didn't have the financial gun to do it, and you know, as it's probably not the right thing to do, but you know, you sort of put yourself in their position and wonder what, you know, what must have been going through their heads and they wanted to make it something nice, but in the end it turned out to backfire on them, because yeah, but yeah, I think if you've received two of the same gift and you don't have use for one of them, either give it to someone who could use it, or maybe you could then regift it or just say, hey, I've received two of these, would you like one?
01:37:39
Speaker 40: Yeah?
01:37:40
Speaker 6: Very sensible words to see you or that was my situation. On the weekend, JOHNO, we had purchased some beautiful South Australian designed plates and someone had gifted me virtually the same plates, so we didn't need the double up.
01:37:55
Speaker 5: I had this spare gift. We regifted it.
01:37:57
Speaker 6: And the person that received them was very, very happy, So you can make it work.
01:38:06
Speaker 4: Five tonight, we're following the breaking story the McLaren Vale Santa has been stolen, Nick from Happy Valley.
01:38:14
Speaker 3: Have you got information on it?
01:38:18
Speaker 34: Good a mate, Yeah, I was just driving up Happy Valley Drive and on the corner of Happy Valley and Taylor Road. If this Santa is on a mannequin, then he's standing out underneath the sign there.
01:38:34
Speaker 3: Santa's on the run.
01:38:36
Speaker 6: Does he look disheveled? Has he lost his hat or what's his stack?
01:38:40
Speaker 34: No, he's got his hat and he's just having a jolly time. He's just hanging out.
01:38:45
Speaker 6: Maybe someone took him out for a Sunday night adventure.
01:38:49
Speaker 3: Why no, he's celebrating the ashes. Good on you. Nick.
01:38:51
Speaker 4: Will continue to follow that really important investigation. We're talking regifting. Tony in seatan, Good morning.
01:38:57
Speaker 3: To you, Good morning, very Christmas, Merry Christmas to your Tony. Are you for regifting?
01:39:03
Speaker 14: Yes, well, actually my wife does the regifting and it seems to be that the big one. We always get a non generic as chocolate.
01:39:14
Speaker 5: I think chocolate regifting is definitely allowed.
01:39:16
Speaker 3: It gets it out of the house. Linda in Heathfield, good morning to you.
01:39:20
Speaker 41: Oh, good morning you too. I'm on the receiving end of being regifted quite often, a.
01:39:26
Speaker 5: Fan or not a fan.
01:39:28
Speaker 41: Yeah, yeah, obviously I get things from this early couple that I help out. And she's even left the greeting card in the bag and I can't hear that take that back yet. I'll take that back to her with some lovely flowers. I got to get a laugh out of this couple there.
01:39:45
Speaker 3: Lovely good on your Linda, appreciate your call.
01:39:48
Speaker 4: Hey, tell you what, Casey, something that you would never regift is anything from Samtass seas food because it wouldn't last long because it is so beautiful, so fresh, so amazing at this time of year. Mark Donnis joins us from Samtas Seafood. Mark, I know the lines would already be out the door this morning, but for everyone listening, what is the go to seafood this Christmas?
01:40:10
Speaker 42: Good morning, guys, what's the go to for this Christmas? Look, it's got to be a combination. Generally the extra large king prawns. I think the value there, the catch of those that size was was good November December, so the prices are being held down on those, and hence the three killo packed the ninety nine dollars. So that's the first thing people grab when they get in generally. And there's about thirty people in the store this morning. We had a line up about thirty five this morning when we opened. But there's you know, there's plenty of people serving so people. It's a good atmosphere in the store. People are quite happy and there's you know, they get to look around and there's lots of things that is not the go to item, you know, like little baby Snappers and baby Barren Monday and you know Morton Bay budds and but they're all there to choose from. The second go to item, I would say, is the freshly opened oysters, the West Coast oysters, because they look superb at the moment. We haven't had that real influx of hot weather to make them spawn, so they're still perfect eating like a winter oyster. That's number two. So the cook King Drawn's number one, the oysters, and number two, what's number three, there isn't. Some people want the freshly cooked crayfish. We had five topload at Pondolaui Bay yesterday. Those craze were trucked up here. Over six hundred kilogram of cryfish were cooked last night and they are ready in the store the stuff today and tomorrow on the next day. That's a go to items for people that want fresh lobster because they know that they're South Australian. If they've got the dining cash back. Even better, they're going to get fifty dollars back from the support from the state government to support South Australian fishes. So that's number three. But so is octopus, and so is freshly cooked morton Bay boats which Onney from South Australia, but people love them. The Alaskan giant crab legs. People love those fresh cooked Blosomer crabs by Gosh good.
01:42:03
Speaker 28: Good sizes, but the price is up on those.
01:42:06
Speaker 42: We've got huge demand out of Sydney for the fresh Bluesomer crabs. They're selling them in Sydney are fifty dollars a kilogram, so the fishermen are getting a good return on catches which have've only just picked up now, but they are in the store as well.
01:42:21
Speaker 3: I'm getting hungry, are you getting hungry?
01:42:24
Speaker 42: Some people want sashimi, you know, we're people getting kink fish for slicing up sashimi, and tuna for sashimi and Atlantic stammon. We have a lot of Japanese restaurants by their feefoods here for sashimi. And that there's one little place us in the hills up as Sterling they take snapper for sashimi. We've got beautiful stuff, these pink snappers here that we fill it for them and carve them up and so excellent sashimi. You know the quality is good. Yeah, absolutely, there's a big run.
01:42:52
Speaker 4: But Mark will be popping in to see it at Fantastic Seafood a little bit later this afternoon.
01:42:56
Speaker 3: I'm getting hungry.
01:42:57
Speaker 4: But you mentioned, of course the Great State vouchers helping people get involved and purchasing some of our amazing products.
01:43:03
Speaker 3: Joe Sockarch is the Minister for Trade. Joe, good morning to you.
01:43:06
Speaker 4: Run us through briefly the Great State outs is still open and how able to help people this Christmas.
01:43:12
Speaker 40: Good morning guys, look absolutely still open and look there's no better salesperson than a fisherman themselves, is it? And John's done a great job in talking about the amazing produce that's on sale at the moment, you know, whether it's local seafood or you know, giving people that real confidence to back in the local industry.
