00:00:01
Speaker 1: Knockdown build two with metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment Metro Homes.
00:00:07
Speaker 2: They do it all for you.
00:00:09
Speaker 3: Live from hein Marsh Square. It's five double a winter Breakfast. Tom Wren and Cake Collins.
00:00:18
Speaker 4: Good morning and welcome to this Wednesday. It is the first of July, the start of the new financial year. Eddie is Tom Ren and Cake Collins. Will have been with you all week and we'll be through until Friday. Bit of weather around as we get right in the midst of winter. As I welcome in Cake Collins for the first time this morning. Cake, good morning to you.
00:00:35
Speaker 1: Good morning Rennie. I'm a little bit bleary eyed this morning because we did we don't have a bit of lightning and thunder overnight. I don't know about you out there, but my dog does not like it. And so if there's any sort of flashes of lightning or thunder, she just goes absolutely nuts. And it's really hard. It's like calming down a child, you know, out in the middle of the night. So I was sort of up with her trying to get her to stop barking and waking up the neighbors. And yeah, I'm a little bit, a little bit tired.
00:01:03
Speaker 4: Oh that's fair enough. I'm sure a lot of people would have gone through that. The dogs don't like the wild weather, do they know?
00:01:08
Speaker 1: And it was even that wild. I think it's just the flushing and yeah, you know, it's enough to just really upset them.
00:01:14
Speaker 4: Well, we have some temporary fencing. We're doing some renovations at the moment. We're in BELvue Heights and the temporary fencing with the wind got blown over and it was a massive bang and I thought, oh no, but look it wasn't too bad, but it was still significant enough to wake everybody up in the house. So give us a call, folks, eight double two to three double o double is the number, Or send us a text zero double four eight zero eight thirteen ninety five. Did you have much wild weather where you were last night? Did anything happen that wouldn't otherwise normally take place? There was a fair debris where we were, a bit of rain around, some lightning, as you say, Kate, heard some thunder. So a little bit just to wake you up in the middle of the night. We'd love to get your thoughts and hear from you. This morning. We have got a big show on today. Kate going to be heading over seas shortly to find out the latest from nine's Europe correspondent Mimi Becker. It's been very warm over there for the past couple of weeks in Europe, really warm, actually warm.
00:02:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean obviously France, and you know France is pretty hard hit normally through there, but you know, temperatures that are essentially killing people, and a lot of those are really from you know, not necessarily heat stress, but from drowning because obviously everyone's flocking to the coast it's a euro summer, but you know, with high numbers of people swimming and getting around water, they've had a lot of drownings as well. But do you know, temperatures that we're quite used to as Australians, you know, up in the high thirties, even up around forty is pretty typical for US summers, but just not coping over in Europe, and even in Wimbledon when we're going to talk to Mimi about temperatures are not too high. It's very typical summer weather for US, but for the English, they just don't cope with it as well, do they tell me?
00:02:57
Speaker 4: Well, and they probably don't have the infrastructure and you know, the coping mechanisms that perhaps we do as well. But you're right, they're just not acclimatized to it as perhaps as well as we are, so they're really struggling with it, and not just in England, but I think a lot of Europe. So yeah, well we'll have a bit of a look at that. Also, scams, this is something I think we've all been subjected to in the past. How to spot them. We're going to talk a little bit about that this hour. We'll get the latest sport from Corey Norris, who's in the newsroom today, which is great. The SOCCREUS we're getting close towards their Round of thirty two match coming up against Egypt and there's a lot of excitement and they're teaming up or the supporters are, at least with the Texas Rangers, which are a baseball team. There's been some great scenes over in the United States with the Scottish fans getting involved at Boston Red Sox baseball games. It's been sensational, so we'll have a look there. We'll also discuss the horrible amount of crashes we've had this week and in the past few weeks on our roads. The road toll is far too high and a lot higher than it was last year, so we'll talk through that. It's the new financial year that we'll have a look at that. Dry July kicks off today, so we'll talk to the CEO. From there, we'll go around the courts with Sean Fust to have a chat with David Kosho's pretty up and about after the showdown win as well, Kate. What a victory that was.
00:04:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, I'm sure we have a few things to say about that.
00:04:17
Speaker 4: Come wait to talk to him, and we'll also talk about Illuminate, which officially begins today. We'll do that after eight point thirty this morning. So we've got a lot going on today on five double A Breakfast, but it's time to head over to Europe because Wimbledon is up and going. It's an exciting time. A lot of tennis fans out there. I am definitely one of them, Kate, and I know that our next guest is as well. It's the nine News Europe correspondent Mimi Becker, who we know very very well.
00:04:45
Speaker 1: Do We both worked with Mimy at Channel nine, so it's great to talk to her. Good morning, Mimmy, how are you?
00:04:52
Speaker 5: Good morning to you both. It's so lovely to touch you. And where else that Wimbledon.
00:04:56
Speaker 1: I know you've got a bad job there, Mimmy.
00:05:01
Speaker 6: I know, I know.
00:05:02
Speaker 5: It's absolutely amazing and it's incredible because all eyes are on center court right now.
00:05:06
Speaker 4: Of course, guy, it's amazing, isn't it? So Maya joint is the Australian she's taking on Serena Williams, who's really the huge story of this tournament so far, isn't She hasn't played for four years. She's forty four, Mimi and making a comeback, and it's really tense at the moment. It's a tight match.
00:05:22
Speaker 5: It is a really tight match, and it really is Serena signaling that she's back, as you say, she's returning after four years, the forty four year old returning here to center court, and there was standing ovation, of course from the crowd. But Serena says she has really little expectations coming into this game, this evening here. She wants to play tennis again so that her children can watch her, and she also wants to test herself and that's exactly what's happening. Right now because Maya Joint, that twenty year old Australian is absolutely testing Serena on the court. Maya has won one game, Serena's one the other and it's close battle in the third. So it's very very tense here at Wimbledon.
00:05:58
Speaker 1: But exciting it is it?
00:06:00
Speaker 4: Siting, isn't it? So that match is happening at the moment at a set of piece, as you say, Mimi. So hopefully from an Aussie perspective, my joint, who's got a really bright future, can get through that match, but a fair few other matches as well. Overnight and Alex demon Or one of the other Aussies that has gone through.
00:06:16
Speaker 5: Yes he has. So he shook off some early nerves to eventually get a straight set win. He was playing Argentinian Roman Bochaga and as I said it was, the first set was quite a long one. I went for over an hour, but then he eventually managed to take it out in three. And he of course is the fifth seed, so he is one of Australia's best hopes here at Wimbledon this time around. And we have had a heartbreak unfortunately for Tanathi Copnarchist, who lost in five sets, So that was a thriller that game. But what we are you know, I feel like my joint is going to be the name here of the tournament, especially tonight. And I was doing some research ahead of it and found out that she wasn't even born when Serena had seven Grand slams under her belt. It's pretty incredible.
00:07:00
Speaker 1: What a start. That's incredible, I have to ask you, Mimi though as well. We've had a bit of We were talking a little bit yesterday about the outfit that Naomi Osaka sort of came out to Center Court with, you know, quite an extravagant sort of kimono type situation, a bit of an entrance before she revealed her tennis dress. What are your thoughts on that? And also have you seen any more theater around fashion and what you know the women are wearing on Sena court at all?
00:07:26
Speaker 5: Of course, what it is always a moment now. I think Naomi has made a name as for herself in tennis, but of course as well in fashion, and we are waiting now for her appearances to find out what it is she's going to wear. And of course this is a really traditional outfit that we saw yesterday and it did stick to the tradition of Wimbledon whites as well, so that's what we've been seeing both on the court and off the court here at Wimbledon.
00:07:49
Speaker 7: It is a little different to the.
00:07:50
Speaker 5: Australian Open over here in the sense that it is a bit more prim and popera rather than the sort of party, grand happy slam that we see in Australia. So that sort of tends to be the same in the fast stakes as well.
00:08:01
Speaker 4: And Mimi, what about the weather over there. We've seen it's been really warm in Europe and hot, in fact, uncomfortably. Is it cooling down a little bit or how's the forecast looking it is?
00:08:12
Speaker 5: So I think, you know, people say that the Pom's like to complain that this heat wave was unlike anything else, and it honestly hits so different over here. It feels so much hotter, but luckily in time for the championship it has cooled down a little, so we're sort of seeing tops of you know, twenty six to thirty thirty will feel incredibly hot here as opposed to in Australia that will be considered very hot, but it's nothing like the thirty five or thirty eight that we did see last week. So we'll have to keep an eye on the weather because there are some warmer temperatures coming into the second week of the Championship as well, so that.
00:08:47
Speaker 1: Could throw us latent a lot and walking around after your time in South Australia, particularly, Mimi, you'd just be walking around with your strawberries and cream wondering what everyone's complaining about. I suppose with the heat, I know, right.
00:08:57
Speaker 5: You've got to soak it up. You've got to soak it up. But it is sweaty, I can say that much.
00:09:01
Speaker 4: Well, Mimmy, thanks so much for joining us. You're doing some great work, great reporting over there. We'll catch up with you soon and let's hope my joint can get the job done against Serena Williams.
00:09:10
Speaker 5: Yes, nice to stat to you both.
00:09:11
Speaker 1: Great to talk to, Mimmy. Thank you. May be back of their nine News euro correspondent at Wimbledon.
00:09:16
Speaker 4: And joint has just gone up three to two. Serena Williams is serving at two three and it's love thirty so a chance for Joint to get a break of SERVI will keep you updated there as well. Corey Norris in the newsroom. Let's have a chat to Michael out at Ross Trevor, who's got a friend who's overseas. Michael, good morning to you, and she's.
00:09:35
Speaker 8: In croatianm Belarus and cycling and reporting that it's forty five degrees out on the road and I can only imagine it's just like being back here in Adelaide in summer for the TDU. The cyclist riding around in January and they're just melting.
00:09:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, and especially when you sort of combine the heat of the road and you know that sort of reflecting and you're exercising at the same time, that'd be very uncomfortable, Michael.
00:09:59
Speaker 8: Very uncomfortab today middle of winter, it's only ten degrees overnight.
00:10:05
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, exactly, yeah, exactly.
00:10:08
Speaker 1: Quite contrast for us at the moment.
00:10:10
Speaker 4: And funny that he talks about the TDU as well, because the race routes are being announced a little bit later today. Yes, so looking forward to that. Studo Grady, who's the race director, will do that about lunchtime this morning or just before, so we'll keep an eye on that. But the twodown Under will be here before we know. It's been goodness, nearly thirty years since that event started? Has it really in nineteen ninety nine, I reckon that began, well.
00:10:32
Speaker 1: You know, you're right, and I had a bit of a moment. I was out. I went to TONANNDA and you know how they've got that big entry arch into Tonnder and I still remember that being sort of set up, you know when it was, you know TDU because it's kind of the welcome into the town. You know, such a hot spot there for you know the TD route and yeah, thinking, gee, that's been there a while and it has thirty years. That's insane.
00:10:56
Speaker 4: It's amazing how fast it goes. We are up at about here on five Double A Breakfast, seventeen minutes past six o'clock. Time for a short break. We'll be back with Blnny Moore on the other side.
00:11:08
Speaker 1: Knockdown build two with metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment. Metro homes. They do it all for you.
00:11:16
Speaker 3: Five Double A Winter Breakfast. Tom Rang and Kate Collins.
00:11:22
Speaker 4: Coming up to twenty one minutes past six o'clock on this Wednesday, the first of July, will talk some sport in a moment, A lot happening with regards to the World Cup, Winmwood and also some football, but Kate scams. There's something that are becoming more and more sophisticated out there and it's getting harder and harder to spot them.
00:11:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, it really really is so many different ways that people are falling into the trap. But look, you know that it is positive that the government is trying to do something about it, you know, giving people some sorts of indications or hints, you know if a number that's calling them or texting them is actually legitimate or not. So we have I've seen some new rules from the Australian Communications and Media Authority come into effect from today where organizations can register their sender ID. So this is like the caller ID that comes up on your phone when somebody is calling or texting you, registering that ID so that somebody who's receiving that call or text knows that you're a verified, legitimate business, which is a really great move. It's the first step I suppose for people to be able to identify whether they even want to pick up that call or look at that text or delete it. So on the phone with us now we have Associate Professor Mark Gregory, who is a telecommunications expert from the r MIT School of Engineering, Good morning to you, Mark.
00:12:46
Speaker 9: Good morning.
00:12:47
Speaker 1: This is a good move I think for giving people another tool to help them identify scams.
00:12:52
Speaker 9: Yes, this is a very positive move forward by the ACMA and the government. It does mean that the the register that's been put together by the ACMA will be accessed by the telcos so that they can identify whether asfender is registered or not registered. And if they're not registered then you will get the word unverified appearing next to an SMS. So, for example, if someone's trying to imitate Australia Post, you would get this message saying you know Australia Post, but then unverified and so you should immediately think to yourself, hang on unverified, I need to check this because it's likely to be a scam.
00:13:41
Speaker 4: Well that's a great warning for people when they get those messages come through. They are becoming so much more sophisticated, aren't they, mark Because you get those ones, for example that say hey Mum, I've lost my phone, can you please send money? Or you know, we hear these horror stories of people that send thousands of dollars to a potential girlfriend or boyfriend, they wait at airports and they've they've traveled half the world and just get totally scammed out of their money and saving. So people, what are some of the other telltale signs that you are potentially being cooked in or scammed?
00:14:12
Speaker 9: Mark Well, the SMS is typically used to target people with these imitation scams, and so that is exactly the thing you describe, which is where you get a message claiming to be your daughter or a son and they need money and send it here. So imitation scams are a pretty common one. And look, the average person always tries to err on the side of helping people, and when we see that type of message, our first thought is we've got to help them. So this is really trying to provide a trigger to us to not do that when we look at organizations that we deal with. Another common one is that you get a message saying that you've got mail with Australia Post and that you have to send some money to get it released. You know, you've got to build it's outstanding if you're with an energy company and you need to here to pay the latest bill. So that it's a range of different approaches that these criminals take to try and get money out of us. And this is going to be great because we're going to get that unverified word that they're saying, hey, look, think twice. Don't do what an average person would do, and that is to immediately make the payment or try and be helpful. This is likely to be a scam. You need to follow up and check.
00:15:41
Speaker 1: And yeah, that's so important because we are quite busy and you often look at your phone quickly if something comes through when you before you know what, you've clicked the link. Because they are hiding behind these big, legitimate businesses that we all use every day, and I guess they are fishing for those for those things. I know I've received one saying, oh, there's you know, you've got an issue with your account with this bank. And I know I don't have a you know, a bank account with that bank, and that's fine, but a lot of people do, and they would catch those people out and they've clicked the link. And I suppose this is just one really good way that we can be alerted to something when we're on the goal and busy and distracted in life as well. So it's a great step forward. Thanks so much for your time. This morning, Associate Professor Mark Gregory for me r MIT School of Engineering on those tech scams.
00:16:28
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's it. And I think everyone gets targeted at some point, and some are more obvious than others, aren't they. You know, you can sort of almost tell straight away that this is not legitimate or you know, it's poorly written. But some of them are really really quite meaniable.
00:16:41
Speaker 1: AI voice exactly, you know, copying voices and all that sort of thing. Gosh, it's a huge, huge problem area.
00:16:47
Speaker 4: But that is a great little bit of advice, unverified. If you see that, that's an immediate red flag, you know, don't fall for it basically, and you know, just continue on or report it, or you know, just delete the message because otherwise you could be getting scammed and scammed pretty significantly. Time to talk a little bit of sport now. There is plenty happening in the world of sport right now. So Cory Norris has come on in from the news room this morning to have a chat with There's Corey.
00:17:12
Speaker 10: Good morning, Good morning you, Tom.
00:17:14
Speaker 1: And Mary's so good to see you. It's a big reunion this season.
00:17:17
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's great. Now, what is going on one Monthy.
00:17:22
Speaker 10: Yeah, we'll reny my joint, the young od. Yes, she's serving for the match against Serena Williams at Wimbledon, and this is amazing. This would be a huge win for her. She's ranked eighty seven in the world and of course Serena Williams, forty four year old goat of women's tennis, making her return, but she is about to be bundled out of Wimbledon.
00:17:41
Speaker 4: Which would be huge. I think my joint as well, had such a good year last year, but I think this year professionally she was into the top sort of twenty five thirty. She's had a three and fourteen season, so she's really struggled, almost a bit like second year blues. So in fact, I think she's just clicked over and won the match. So that's fantast That's huge for her, just at the confidence to beat Serena, who the crowd would have been going for. Yep, that's massive.
00:18:03
Speaker 10: Yeah, she held a nerve look and she's the rising star of Australian tennis. We don't have to too many at the moments, so she's one of our great hopes in the women's draw.
00:18:12
Speaker 1: That was incredible. Have Mimi Becker who we spoke to before, was saying that that Maya wasn't even born when Serena already had several Grand slams under He's insane.
00:18:21
Speaker 10: Yeah, huge and the crowd obviously probably most of them supporting Serena Williams in her return, but to be able to hold her nerve in that big moment.
00:18:32
Speaker 4: And we just we just have a listen to how she got it done. Literally just a minute or soul go.
00:18:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, may joint has just been my end.
00:18:45
Speaker 4: Yeah, great stuff that audio, thanks to nine Jim. So really good result there for the Ossie. Speaking of the Aussies, Alex Demonor through Tory.
00:18:52
Speaker 10: Yeah, he defeated Roman Brewer Charger in straight sets seven, six sixty one six love, a little bit of a nervy start, but got the job.
00:18:59
Speaker 4: Done and that's good to see. But the nasci Coockonark is down in five, which is disappointing.
00:19:03
Speaker 10: This is unfortunate, isn't it. Yeah, make it coming back and battling with injuries and whatnot. But he was there but just couldn't get the job done.
00:19:11
Speaker 4: And Corey, we know this Soccero's aren't far away. We've got another match happening shortly between France and Sweden, but a little bit of footy were reported Would Brandon our colleague reported last night Wane Miller said to miss another week unfortunately.
00:19:22
Speaker 10: Another week with that hamstring strain. But I guess some good news that Isaac Rankin is expected to be on the flight to Perth today. Of course they take on the Eagles on Friday night. Isaac Rankin expected to play despite being on light duties yesterday training.
00:19:36
Speaker 4: And Jason Horn Francis, I think he's going to talk. Doesn't do that much meatia does he so nice to see him.
00:19:41
Speaker 10: Doing his head up to how good is he going as well?
00:19:43
Speaker 4: Amazing, unbelievable. He was so good last week. He's having a pretty good he's had. I know he's had some quiet games, but when he's at his best, my word, he is impressing.
00:19:51
Speaker 10: And his leadership has just gone to another level. I think he be right in the conversation to take on a leadership role. I think over the next couple of years at Port Adlick.
00:19:59
Speaker 4: Yeah, no doubt about that. Corey. Great to have you into that. Thank you, fantastic, great stuff, Corey Norris. They're joining us to talk a little bit of sport, Kate, We've got plenty more coming up after six point thirty. Are you starting to get the World Cup.
00:20:11
Speaker 1: Bug a little bit? I was sort of recounting yesterday's.
00:20:16
Speaker 4: Match, the penalty shootout.
00:20:17
Speaker 1: It's abody shoot out with the Paraguay ended up.
00:20:18
Speaker 4: With that's right against Jerny.
00:20:20
Speaker 1: I't go a little bit excited recounting that yesterday. So maybe I am. Maybe I'm being converted as we go along. It's pretty cool to be part of.
00:20:27
Speaker 4: It's nice, is that?
00:20:28
Speaker 11: Yeah?
00:20:28
Speaker 4: And then later in the day the Netherlands went down in a penalty shootout, which was incredible to Morocco. Look, Morocco are a very good side, but I think everyone expected the Netherlands to go through. France and Sweden just kicking off now, so there's plenty of soccer action happening.
00:20:45
Speaker 1: Knockdown Bill two with Metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment.
00:20:51
Speaker 2: Metro Homes. They do it all for you.
00:20:53
Speaker 3: Five double a winter Breakfast, Tom Wren and Pate Collins.
00:21:00
Speaker 4: I hope you're having a great start to your morning. It is twenty three minutes to seven o'clock on this Wednesday, the first of July. We were talking a little bit earlier about the weather and bit of wind and rain and thunder and lightning around last night, not anything totally outrageous, but Kate, you had some issues with your dog who doesn't like their thunderstorms, which is fair enough. And we had some fencing that went down last night at our place, So we'd love to hear from you. Did you experience or see anything or have seen anything on your drive to work this morning. That's a bit out of the ordinary. Eight double two to three double O double O is the number, or you can send us a text on zero double four eight zero eight thirteen ninety five.
00:21:35
Speaker 1: But that weather was absolutely nothing compared to the level of rain that we have had in the outback up in William Creek, in particular for Cardiitanda Lake Ayir, which is experiencing one of its best feels in decades, some saying it's close to record levels. Joining us now from the William Creek Hotel, Trevor Rye, how are you.
00:22:02
Speaker 12: Oh, hi guys, Yeah, not too bad. Like you said, it's one week of training in one week, it's not.
00:22:09
Speaker 1: But pretty big spectacular happening up there at the moment. Is Lake Air is filling up again.
00:22:15
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's a couple of things are coming to play with it. One is that the original water that went into the lake was all local rainfall within about two hundred kilometers of the actual lake, going down the Yak Creek system, and then we had all that water off the Georgiana system and a bit off the Diamond Tina. And it's coming in as well, because it normally takes three to four months before it comes through. It is a large amount of water coming in from Queensland in Tea at the moment. At the same time, we're now getting the rainfall every couple of weeks, which is cutting off our roads and stopping supplies and getting people's strands at times. And then it's opening up for a while. And what we think is just going to be a small range of a few normals are very much more twenty And the ground's quite saturined up here, which you never see this time of year. If you took last year, it would be just blowing dust.
00:23:09
Speaker 1: And you're, yeah, which is it's incredible and probably very welcome. I'd imagine bringing all the wildlife and the plant life back, But like you say, it is catching people out, and I suppose there's probably quite a few people trekking up there at the moment to experience this spectacular. But we heard about an incredible rescue yesterday. There was a couple that got stuck on the track there and had to be helicoptered out by a good Samaritan.
00:23:37
Speaker 12: We're pretty lucky Tim Roberts was coming through in his helicopter. I've been out all day on the track giving people in because a lot of problem with the mudin and slipping around in that. We actually found the motorbike on the track as well and able to locate the owner. But the trouble was it was on the road out to Caddie thunder Lake here and is huge rain cames. I think they were going out to have a look at it, and they came in behind them and the track itself turned into a creek and we're looking at it. By Tommy finished, there's no way we're going to get out there before dark. And there's no way you were actually going to be able to get there. It was just too wet, too soft, and too much water. Luckily it came out of his helicopter there and volunteered to go out and pick them up. They've been out there for a minute of twelve hours. And the other thing was the medical side of it. I think they needed what do you call it, pharmaceuticals in that medicine to get back into town. And the other thing is it's not a great thing sitting out in a full wheel drive overnight when it gets down, sitting down here to about seven degrees or so up to about ten being on overcast and that, and on the Stadu before that, we had a fellow more down towards my rieway goes through a big podole for water down there. I think it must have Mucky's ignition up and he ended up spending the night out there sleeping his car as well. So I think one of the big things is if you're going to come out here, do it during the day, so if something happens, a lighter out. But the other thing is out here there's not a lot of people, there's no bitchamin and when it does get wet. This is the first on the first time I've had to use a helicopter of it. There's no way we would have been able to get to him for at least another day where he was without having a chopper.
00:25:30
Speaker 4: Well, it's a pretty amazing Trevor. We're just getting some shots now on our five double a Breakfast Facebook and YouTube live stream, and it does, yeah, look like it's pretty badly bogged there the car that they were using, the eighty year old and fifty year old, So, like you say, they had been stranded for another twelve twenty four hours. You know, things are starting to become pretty uncomfortable out there. So it's a pretty massive effort from Tim Roberts to, like you say, off his own bat go out there and volunteer to rescue this father and son.
00:26:00
Speaker 12: Yeah, right, you know you had an older age group and also I think coming I believe they were both out of Melbourne. I think there's also the tension of not knowing when someone's coming. Yeah, And the only what do you call communication they had is that tech system they've now got where they use the satellite yep, and they will get able to talk to the police and that. But if you come from an urban or build up there and all of a sudden, it's all your communications basically taking away, and there's no one out there and all you can see is water in all directions it changes your attitude a bit, that's for sure, for sure.
00:26:35
Speaker 1: And you know, look, I suppose you know when people head out that way, they're expecting that they need to be prepared. They're expecting conditions to be a little rough. But from what you're seeing this year, Trevor, are the conditions just so much worse than normal?
00:26:47
Speaker 11: Like?
00:26:47
Speaker 1: What do people need to know of their planning on heading out?
00:26:51
Speaker 6: Look?
00:26:52
Speaker 12: I think there's two or three things.
00:26:53
Speaker 6: I think.
00:26:55
Speaker 12: The first thing is travel during daylight hours, let someone know what you're doing. Make sure your phone can take satellite text, which is free, and if you need to get in touch with the responsible person, you can. And look, it's great and the environment out here is fantastic. You're going to have a great look.
00:27:14
Speaker 11: At the lake.
00:27:15
Speaker 12: There's a lot of water. The vegetation is going through the roof and that and the other things. From a government point of view, if they've got a couple of road crews and work on the data trackers, that's where people have to go to come up to view the lake. But they've got them so they can swap them over when they've got days off and that type of thing. Because early in the peace with the situation they're on and the fuel situation and the uncertainty of the people weren't traveling that much. But no, I think they're feeling a lot more comfortable and coming up here, but they're not expecting the what do you call it the rain, how slippy it can get, maps off that can get. But we can get the government on board and with the road crews and that should do a fantastic job. I think that'll make a huge difference start. And also the fact that if you have to get put it out where you have to go up with the RF yes, and that there's not a lot of places you can land when it does get with there's very few bitturing the airports out here and having a helicopter up here was a bit like winning a lotto at the time you come through.
00:28:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, very lucky set of events that come to be there at the time, and you know by the sounds that you'll be expecting a whole lot more people. So there is the potential for a lot more of these rescues to be needed. So you make a very good point there, Trevor.
00:28:37
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think it's important. The other thing that's coming into its stone is this portable star links. It seemed to be working a lot bitter in the satellite and that and the other thing you can get off that is video communications as well, so if you are to start send the picture back of what actually is going on and what the need is, what you need to do to get people out type of situation. So, yeah, look, I think it's unusually. I think we've we've retrieved about the last month thirty people or around thirty people. Wow, So it is a fair number of people, and I think it's definitely worth the effort to come up. But just be careful how you do it and think about the big picture.
00:29:25
Speaker 11: It's great as do if you get to that.
00:29:27
Speaker 4: Yeah, great advice. And look a beautiful part of the world when there is that level of rain. I think it's about seven hundred and fifty kilometers from where we are right now, but just the vegetation and we can see it on the Facebook and YouTube live stream. It's just amazing. But like you say, just be prepared if you're going to make the effort to make it up there. Trevor, thank you so much for sharing the story and hopefully you get a few more people rolling through and enjoying what that beautiful region has to offer.
00:29:51
Speaker 13: Good thanks guys, Thanks great stuff.
00:29:53
Speaker 4: Trevor right there, Apublican at William Creek.
00:29:57
Speaker 1: I reckon the levels up there at the moment to get close to the nineteen seventy nine flood, I believe. So that's quite you know, we haven't seen.
00:30:06
Speaker 4: Water levels fifty years.
00:30:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, really long time. So I think probably a lot more people will consider heading up if that's something that you want to experience for yourself. Beautiful South Australian Now back, Yeah.
00:30:17
Speaker 4: Like you said, though, just make sure you're prepared absolutely, and do you travel during the day. Speaking of the weather, let's head out to the bureau now. Tom Anderson is on the line and he's going to give us a bit of a forecast. Tom, good morning to you.
00:30:30
Speaker 6: Good morning.
00:30:30
Speaker 4: How are things looking for us for the next twenty four hours or so.
00:30:38
Speaker 13: Yeah, we've already seen a decent dumping for the city, especially about the southern suburbs, so Glen Elg, Marian Brighton Way. We've seen double digit figures in the last twelve hours, mostly from those storms that we had this morning. Being on got woken up by that. I think came through about two or three morning, we're going to see a bit more of that. So we just got sort of showery activity poss thunderstorms about during the day. If you get a thunderstorm overhead, you might get five or ten mil pretty quickly. Otherwise it's just going to be relatively windy, a warm northerly wind. So we're already up to fifteen degrees in the city looking at top of sixteen degrees today, but it would be sort of that showery on and off windy day today and then coming into tomorrow expecting pretty similar conditions again, the winds will start turning more westerly though, so it'll cool down a bit. Looking for a top of fifteen tomorrow, so similar, but it might cool off a bit quicker and we'll get more sort of rain than showery activity tomorrow.
00:31:38
Speaker 1: Those storms overnight, because yeah, I was up all night when it hit with my dog going crazy. How much lightning did we get.
00:31:46
Speaker 13: We had a fair bit, so I don't know exactly how to quantify, but it basically covered an area, or we had lightning overhead of an area basically from the city center all lay down to Hallett Cove.
00:32:01
Speaker 4: Okay, so it sounds like for the next couple of days you're going to need the brolly definitely, and then starting to fine up after that. Tom, So we'll make sure that we packed the wet weather gear for the next two days. Yeah, that's right, great stuff, All right, Tommy. We'll have a great day and we'll chat with you again soon to Thanks Tom. Tom anders in there from the Bureau of Meteorology. Time to head across to South Australian Police Rebecca Stokes is on the line. Rebecca, good morning to you. Unfortunately a driver has died after a crash at Brinkley that happened on Monday.
00:32:33
Speaker 14: Yes, that's true. Just after six thirty am on Monday place An emergency services were called to a single vehicle crash on Brinkley Wrote at Brinkley involving a twitter ut. The driver, who was the sole occupant of the car a forty year old man from Lake's Plains. He was taken a hospital in a critical condition, but sadly we've been informed that he died from his injuries last night. A major crash investigators attended this crash on Monday morning to try to determine the circumstances surrounding the crash. Their investigations are continuing. We are appealing for anyone who witnesses incident or perhaps has dash cam footage that may assist the investigation. They can contact us via crime Stoppers. And the man's death is the fifty eighth life lost on South Australian roads so far this year, and we are just pleading with drivers to please drive to the conditions.
00:33:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've had a really bad, horrible week on our roads, Rebecca. A truck has collided with a tree at stoney Fell overnight as well.
00:33:26
Speaker 14: Yes, he seven just for six pm last night we were called Penfold Road at stony Fall after reports the truck carrying a container collided with a tree. Fortunately the truck driver, who's a fifty five year old man from larks North, and his passenger managed to escape injury. A Penfold Road was closed for several hours. They were thinking that they would need to bring in a crane to try to remove this huge tree from the truck. Fortunately they were able to tow that truck away last night and the scene has cleared so Penfold Road has reopened for traffic this morning and investigations into that crasher also ongoing. But yeah, again we're just pleading with people to drive to the conditions. As we've just heard, there's going to be more water across the roads, more wet weather in coming days, so please slow down, drive to the conditions. Turn your lights on. The amount of cars that we see that are basically the same color as the road driving around without their lights on in wet and dark conditions, please tenure lights on, remember to turn them off when you get there. Slow down, give yourself room to stop and be prepared. There may be traffic banked up in front of you, or perhaps a fallen tree or limb blocking the road, so you never know what's ahead. So yeah, really slow down and concentrate on the drive.
00:34:34
Speaker 4: Such important advice and something that all people should heed. Thanks so much for that, Rebecca. We'll chat to you again soon.
00:34:41
Speaker 14: Thank you.
00:34:42
Speaker 4: Send you Constable Rebecca Stokes.
00:34:43
Speaker 1: There knockdown build two with metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment.
00:34:52
Speaker 2: Metro homes they do it all for you.
00:34:54
Speaker 3: Five double a winter breakfast, Tom Wren and Kate Collins.
00:35:00
Speaker 4: Seven minutes to seven o'clock here on five double a breakfast cake.
00:35:03
Speaker 1: Oh a little bit croaky there, Tom RN this morning, got to clear your throat. Yes, July one, a new financial year. We have officially clicked over this morning, and that means that there's a bunch of changes coming into effect, including the rise in the minimum wage, which I believe has hit more than one thousand dollars a week for our lowest paid workers for the first time, but lots of other changes coming into effects. So we're going to break these all down. Joining us on the phone, we have SDASA Secretary Josh Peak. Good morning to you, Josh.
00:35:39
Speaker 15: Get Tom Happy new financial year.
00:35:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, happy new financial year to you too. This must be welcome news.
00:35:44
Speaker 6: You know.
00:35:44
Speaker 1: The minimum wage increase for our lowest paid workers.
00:35:48
Speaker 16: Yeah, look really significant, asked increase to the minimum wage, which there are some workers in. But even more significant is the four point seven five percent increase to award wages and linked EBAs which impact millions of Australian workers. A couple hundred thousand, couple hundred thousand South Australians we'll get a pay rise in their next pay packet thanks.
00:36:10
Speaker 17: To that rise.
00:36:11
Speaker 9: And it's been a.
00:36:12
Speaker 16: Pretty toss year on the cost of living with petrol prices and what's been going on overseas, and it's really needed for our lord, our last paid workers. It's been a tough, tough years, so it's good to see that finally coming into effect today.
00:36:26
Speaker 4: Josh, Does it go far enough as far as you're concerned. Is it going to help those people with those cost of living pressures?
00:36:33
Speaker 16: Look, it is significant. It does mean that wage increase is above inflation.
00:36:37
Speaker 12: And what we're continuing to call for is.
00:36:39
Speaker 16: Waging creaks that lift the buying power and the real wages of low paid workers.
00:36:46
Speaker 4: And in terms of other changes for the new financial year, I didn't even know this was the case at some places, but I think organizations now are going to be forced to give super on the payday and pay it to their employees. I didn't realize that that wasn't happening in some instances. It's gone. No, we might have just lost Josh there. We'll try and get him back. But yeah, the new financial year today, so an increase for minimum wages Kate, which I think is a welcome thing for a lot of people. And we know all people have been doing it tougher, particularly those on low wages. It's really hard.
00:37:23
Speaker 1: It is it's a start and you know people are working, you know, particularly young people as well. You know we're talking about you know, people entering the job market, you know, young traders and people that aren't necessarily you.
00:37:35
Speaker 4: Know, flush with cash, lush with cash.
00:37:37
Speaker 1: And you know every little bit counts and you know by the sounds of it, Josh you know, was saying this is a significant lift, which is you know, really encouraging.
00:37:46
Speaker 11: Yeah.
00:37:46
Speaker 1: The payday super thing though, is interesting, isn't it just thinking that you know, assuming you're getting what you're owed by your business or you know whatever, every pay but they will now be forced to pay super in on with your pay as a post to at a different time or you know delayed or longer installments. So that is interesting. But I guess you know, it's good to know what you've got when you've earned it. Yeah, it's going in there with regular top ups rather than you know, at different increments.
00:38:15
Speaker 4: So another thing we've been speaking about on five double a Breakfast this week is the fuel excise and that has come down overnight. Sally from Hillcrest has given us a call. Sally, good morning to.
00:38:25
Speaker 5: You, Good morning, How are you, Tom and Kate?
00:38:28
Speaker 4: Good thank you.
00:38:28
Speaker 1: Hey, we're good, thank you? How are you?
00:38:31
Speaker 18: Yeah?
00:38:31
Speaker 6: Good?
00:38:32
Speaker 18: So one of our local surveys yesterday was a dollar fifty two today he's a dollar sixty two already.
00:38:41
Speaker 1: Okay, Yes, So we've you know, we've had that fuel excise cut from thirty two cents off regular prices down to sixteen. They were sort of warning, you know, motoring bodies, we're warning fuel you know, stations not to be adding on unnecessarily, not raising prices unnecessarily for drivers. We have been experiencing, though, sally, quite a few you know, really low prices essentially for fuel that we haven't seen in quite some time.
00:39:08
Speaker 19: So we have we've been lucky.
00:39:10
Speaker 1: We have been lucky. So a ten cent jumped there straight away, is that what you're saying?
00:39:14
Speaker 6: Yeah?
00:39:15
Speaker 5: Ten cents in one day, in one day, and it's just yeah, that's overkilled because they wouldn't have even got their new fuel yet at the higher price.
00:39:24
Speaker 4: And I think it's probably something we're going to see a fee bit more of, unfortunately. But like you say, kay, compared to what we saw, goodness a few months ago, two dollars sort of fifty yu again.
00:39:33
Speaker 1: Dollars fifty which year is wid now when prices were down around a dollar forty four, I think we were seeing yesterday, so quite a few drivers filling up yesterday, you know, lining up at the service stations to fill up their takes before those changes come in. But look, unfortunately, I think we probably will be seeing a few stations take advantage and you know, knock that price up a little bit more than it perhaps needs to be.
00:39:53
Speaker 6: Yeah.
00:39:53
Speaker 4: Absolutely. Now we've just been talking to South Australian Police this morning as well. Unfortunately, fifty eight fatalities on our roads this year, which is well up on where it was last year, and far too many. Unfortunately, we've had a lot of road crashes. It's been a terrible week on our roads. Someone who does a lot of work trying to help road safety does a brilliant job is the chair of these running Road Safety Safety Foundation Russell. Good morning to you. It has not been a good few days here in South Australia, no, Tom.
00:40:22
Speaker 20: And as you and I have spoken about many times in the past, my friend, it's a problem that we're really we're really trying to guess, scrapple and struggle with as a society about where we go as far as road trauma's concerned, because it sadly not not just in that part of the world, mate, but right across the nation, we're really seeing some really troubling trends in terms of road trauma increases, and I guess really a changing in the culture. I think people, I think universally everybody says that road safety is important, but it's trying to get every individual to think about what they can do to try and reduce that level of road trauma because the tragedy, that level of tragedy is just be something that's unacceptable.
00:41:01
Speaker 4: I know you do so much. You've got Fatality Free Friday, which is a huge campaign you do, and you know you have other measures that you try and implement. But why is it do you think that we continue to have these issues? Is it just the density of traffic or irresponsible behavior? What are you finding in some of the key factors that are attributing to this, Russell.
00:41:21
Speaker 20: I think it's those classic things we know about, you know, it's distraction and not wearing, the sup belting and the fatal five that police talk about. But underneath that, I think there's been a cultural shift since since twenty twenty because we've seen year on year increase in road trauma in this country since then, where I just think there's other things at play. I think people's level of tolerance, people's level of I guess compliance to road rules, or really basic things like that, basic courtesy, and these are things that necessarily we might not be able to fix with changes in road rules. It's a cultural thing and it probably leads to know even some of the other stuff you've been covering sort of the leading it's it's people's views on how we fit in the world and how we should work with other people, our sense of community, sense of personal responsibility. I think there's an undercurrent of that where we've just become as a as a nation. I think people have become more individualistic, We've become less compliant with things, and I think there's a cultural shift that we're going to need to start training or looking at much earlier. And I'm talking way back to the start of school. But some of these basic basic values, basic principles, so I think are also end up in the road safety mix. And that's something, as I said, you're not going to fix just with just with safer roads or safer cars or more enforcement and Russell.
00:42:44
Speaker 1: I know this is you know, seems very trivial, but we've just had another death on our roads overnight from a crash on Monday. We just heard about that as well through Saphole. But the weather, it seems to be this ongoing thing where particularly South Australian drivers, as soon as there's a weather of they just don't know how to drive anymore. And we seem to see this concentration of bad crashes that happen when it's raining or really windy or stormy or foggy. Is that are you seeing that as a factor and why people just aren't heating the warnings about driving to conditions.
00:43:17
Speaker 20: It's a great question, Kate, and I think you're right. The weather. The weather, what that basically does. It reveals the true driving standard, because in the dry people get away with accelerating out of a corner just a little bit early, or leaving a breaking point a little bit later, or not looking far enough ahead. They kind of get away with it. In the dry. The moment you add the weather, the wet conditions, so roads a bit slippery, are breaking distance longer, tractions available is less, Visibility is less. It reveals the true standard of driving performance because the wet weather adds other variables as far as grip and visibility. So what happens when the rain comes is that people still don't adapt to that behavior. They drive normally, or they drive as they would every day, but the weather conditions and the grip level don't allow for that. So that's why we see this spike when it comes to especially in those first conditions of rain and it hasn't rained for a while, then that's when that can sort of surface. So as I said, basically, the wet weather simply just reveals the true standard. And also I think quite frankly that the inadequacies that we have in terms of driver training for those next level skills situational awareness and of which weather falls or dealing with weather falls into that category too.
00:44:30
Speaker 4: Well, Russell, keep up the good fight. It's one that needs to keep happening. We know how much work you do, so really appreciate your time this morning. Let's hope that things can turn around for us on the roads.
00:44:39
Speaker 20: We'll keep pushing for a time, that's for sure, mate, and thanks thanks for your support to you guys. So it's important we keep talking about it because it's a national problem. It's it's something that we have to start looking at and we've got to try and fix it.
00:44:50
Speaker 1: Beauty absolutely right, Thanks so much, Just a White, chair of the Australian Road Safety Foundation, Thanks so much for your time. Look as a message that you know, we've worked in news for years and years and years and you just have to keep re iterating it every year. People like Russell reiterate it. But you know, it's just devastating when you're seeing these spikes in you know, the road trauma and deaths on our roads and just have to, like you say, keep fighting the good fight, keep putting the word out there and keep trying to push for improving driver training and awareness on how to be safe on the roads. Knockdown build two with metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment.
00:45:28
Speaker 2: Metro homes. They do it all for you.
00:45:30
Speaker 3: Five Double A Winter Breakfast, Tom Wren and Kate Collins.
00:45:36
Speaker 4: Day, We've got plenty coming up in the next hour. Here on five Double A Breakfast. We're about to head over to the US. The World Cup is happening and we know the soccer rules are preparing for a huge game and that's going to be on Saturday morning, our time against Egypt. There's been so much excitement about that.
00:45:52
Speaker 1: Nice and early two three thirty, Oh my.
00:45:53
Speaker 4: Goodness, tough time. Do you stay up all night or do you wake up?
00:45:56
Speaker 1: Well, that's the debate, isn't it. Do you pull an all nighter going on? You go to bed early? I think I'm the go to bed early and wake up?
00:46:04
Speaker 11: Okay? Do that?
00:46:05
Speaker 4: We'll see how.
00:46:05
Speaker 1: I don't know last time I pulled it all night. I can't even remember.
00:46:09
Speaker 4: Drive July will talk about that this hour as well. We'll go around the courts with Advertiser Chief court reporter Sean Fuster, and will also catch up with port Adelaide FC chairman and Compare the Market economic director David Kosh, who is definitely feeling pretty cocker hoop after that brilliant showdown win. But Kate I touched on the World Cup and there's a match happening right now between France and Sweden, and there's so much excitement about the soccer Ruse they're going to be playing in just a few days time, and we've seen so much color and excitement from fans all over the world, particularly the Scottish in Boston, the Tartan Army going to Boston Red Sox games and just turning Fenway Park into this sea of Scottish you know, fanfare and color. And we're hoping to see similar scenes with the soccer use fans and the Texas Rangers. Yeah.
00:46:55
Speaker 1: Absolutely, the US are really sort of opening, you know, rolling out the welcome matt and really embracing all of the soccer fans that are there for the World Cup and one team that is definitely getting around the Ossis and calling on all OSSI's in fact in Dallas to come and experience some of the you know, American sport available being the you know heading to the ballpark. I mean that's a great tradition to head to the ballpark and check out a game baseball season of course. Joining us now on the phone from the Texas Rangers, we have the senior vice president marketing, senior vice president Travis Dylan on the phone. Good morning to you, Travis.
00:47:37
Speaker 11: Hi, how are y'all doing?
00:47:38
Speaker 1: We're really great. How are you embracing all things World Cup and getting around the Ossie fans.
00:47:45
Speaker 11: We are. We couldn't be more excited.
00:47:48
Speaker 21: I was rooting very hard for the Aussies last week to get to get to Dallas and play play here this week, so.
00:48:00
Speaker 11: We couldn't we couldn't be more excited about it.
00:48:04
Speaker 4: Which is great. So it's fantastic that they're feeling so welcome. And I think you're doing things like offering discounted tickets to try and get as many soccer rus fans to some of your games that the Texas Ranges are playing, so you get that real Aussie flavor at some of the ball games there.
00:48:20
Speaker 21: Yeah, we we've blocked off some tickets.
00:48:24
Speaker 22: We've been in contact with some of the supporter groups, the soccer rooms and different groups that we've blocked off some tickets Thursday.
00:48:34
Speaker 21: Night that they want to come other nights and we'd love to have them as well, But Thursday night we've got a section blocked off for the Aussie fans and we've been circulating a link to buy those tickets so they can all sit together. And Yeah, we're getting some yellow rally towels made if they come to the ballpark. We'll have instructions for them on how to kick those up and it'll have arranger's logo and some information on one side.
00:49:02
Speaker 11: And then the Aussie flag on.
00:49:05
Speaker 22: The other with a welcome SOCCERUS message on it, so something that they can wave and and celebrate with and then take home with them as a reminder of their experience at the ballpark.
00:49:16
Speaker 1: It's amazing how you know, all the different groups, as you say, and all the fans are celebrating. We've seen the Scottish, you know, bring their traditions and popping traffic cones on all sorts of things and signs and around the place. It's all very firstive, What do you love about the Aussie fans so much? What do we do well?
00:49:33
Speaker 21: I mean, the the energy, just the joy that your fans bring. We hope to see plenty of shoeies if fans.
00:49:44
Speaker 11: Get on the on the video board.
00:49:47
Speaker 21: We love I just love this the you know, the traditions that you guys have that obviously the chants and the songs and everything that that makes the fan base so much fun. And so yeah, we we were fortunate enough as a team to play in Boston when the Tartan Army he was there. We actually played in Miami when they were there, so we played two games in front of them and won both of them, and our players in both instances just remarked, you know, just the energy and just the flavor that was in the ballpark those nights, and so, like I said, I was, I was rooting really hard for you guys, you know.
00:50:29
Speaker 11: I guess I think it was on Friday.
00:50:30
Speaker 21: Night when y'all were when y'all were playing to get here, because we knew that the Aussie fans would bring the same energy in the ballpark.
00:50:38
Speaker 4: And you guys are flying at the moment too, which is great to say. I think you won five in a row. You're leading the AO West at the moment. It's a really tight conference. But things are looking pretty good right now, which is fantastic. But I just wanted to ask you more generally as well, Travis, just in terms of the fan FA American sports fans are so passionate. We know that, and they're great. That's what they teamed. But what's it been luck and has it been received nie and wide? Having these influxive cultures from all live of the world coming over.
00:51:08
Speaker 11: Man, It's it's been so much fun.
00:51:11
Speaker 21: You know, we have our traditions and sports and the way that our fans cheer, whether it's baseball or football, basketball, hockey, every sport kind of has its own fan culture, and you know, to see the soccer culture.
00:51:25
Speaker 11: You know, we have professional soccer.
00:51:26
Speaker 21: Here and the fans do a great job embracing the sport, but there's nothing like the energy that comes with something like the World Cup and and so we you know, I think a lot of our fans have been inspired. You know, you've seen as these different fan groups. The Norwegian just played here today and brought all of their traditions with the you know, the massive road you know that they do, and seeing that takeover bars across the city over the last few days, and then the stadium today and just seeing these things that think you know, for us on the team side as well as our fans, I would I'd be lying if I didn't say that we were inspired by that energy. And you know, looking at what are ways that are authentic to our game experience that we can tap that same type of kind of collective energy that soccer fans bring.
00:52:22
Speaker 11: There's just there's it's unlike any other.
00:52:25
Speaker 21: Sport in the fact that you see everyone is just so unified and on the same page. And whether it's chance or songs or cheers or whatever it is, it's just a really communal and you know engaging and unifying vibe that comes out of these these games.
00:52:43
Speaker 1: Well, it'll be fantastic for the Aussies to get down and experience some of that famous textan hospitality that you guys do so well. And I'll just have to warn you though, if you get all the Aussies down there, you might have to top up the beer supplies, if for all those shoeies that they might be doing in the game.
00:52:58
Speaker 4: But what an experience already.
00:53:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, what a time to be in the US for the World Cup. Texas Rangers Marketing Senior vice President Travis Dill and thank you so much for your time and enjoy the rest of the World Cup celebrations there in Dallas.
00:53:14
Speaker 11: Yeah, thank you all for having me.
00:53:16
Speaker 21: And yeah, we couldn't be more excited to have hopefully an Aussie take over this weekend.
00:53:23
Speaker 11: We'd love it, we hope.
00:53:24
Speaker 1: So we can't wait to see the pictures.
00:53:25
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's going to be great, isn't it a big game? And of course at three point thirty our time on Saturday.
00:53:30
Speaker 1: Mislutely and fantastic and that you know, a day at the ballpark. I remember I went when I was in New York and you know all the traditions around that, you know, the songs and the chanting as well, and the hot dogs and the beer. It's you know, it's such as experience as well. So you know, Ozsie fans cannot just have the soccer that they can experience everything exactly, which is fantastic of the Texas Rangers inviting the Aussies down there.
00:53:54
Speaker 4: Cool and you get some new experiences and you're going to a different sport. It's a great thing to do while you're in the town preparing for the big game, which of course is on Saturday morning. Like I said, against Egypt. At three point thirty, speaking of the World Cup, France has just scored against Sweden, so it is one nil at the moment in that game.
00:54:14
Speaker 1: Knockdown build two with metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment.
00:54:20
Speaker 2: Metro Homes, they do it all for you.
00:54:22
Speaker 3: Five Double A Winter Breakfast. Tom Wren and Hate Collins.
00:54:33
Speaker 4: Welcome back to five Double A Breakfast. It is twenty one minutes past seven o'clock. Just remember you can tune in on the live stream. That's the five Double A Facebook and YouTube live stream. Step up to end homelessness, walk a mile in my boots, register or donate today Walkermile dot org dot au. Do that sounds like good fun, doesn't it? Being in Texas this week for the World Cup.
00:54:52
Speaker 1: To be fun? Yeah, and you know the Texans do hospitality so well, you know, so be you know, very welcoming of you know, space to be and then just enjoy those festivals.
00:55:02
Speaker 4: Now, Kate, we've been talking a little bit this morning about the new financial year and some of the changes that are coming into effect from a financial point of view. But as we know, July one also marks the start of Dry July for a lot of people.
00:55:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a huge movement and you know, I guess an opportunity to step back and you know, examine your relationship with alcohol or something that you're going to give up as well, and all for a good cause. And joining us on the phone now we have a Jillian Obert Ober I don't know how to say that. Probably, Jillian, you might have to tell me how to pronounce your last name. Interim CEO of Dry July, Australia. Good morning to you, Jillian.
00:55:42
Speaker 19: Good morning and a happy dry July and a Jillian Odd but but are happy to go buy anything.
00:55:46
Speaker 1: I love you got a French twist there that quite exotic.
00:55:51
Speaker 21: Thank you.
00:55:52
Speaker 4: They're playing in the World Cup, so I think it might have been that game feeling.
00:55:55
Speaker 3: It that's great?
00:55:57
Speaker 1: Yes, so dry July. Tell us what this means for so many people taking it up?
00:56:02
Speaker 19: Certainly. So we started in two thousand and eight and it's a challenge to really to call out to Australians to give up alcohol for thirty one days in July, which is great for their health and well being and productivity and more energy. But most importantly it is about raising funds for people affected by cancer. And since two thousand and eight we've been able to raise over one hundred million, which is extraordinary. But with so many people still being diagnosed with cancer, you know, we know that one in two people will be diagnosed, you know, by age eighty five. It's a really big call out for a continued need for cancer support.
00:56:36
Speaker 4: That's a huge number of dollars that you've been raising, which is outstanding, and a lot of people taking part. Just how many do you expect will take part this year? Jillion?
00:56:44
Speaker 19: Oh, look at the moment where you know we're getting close to twenty thousand. They sign up all throughout July. You know, people can join us at any time, so we're just really grateful for everyone who comes on board and it helps us to raise those vital funds.
00:56:57
Speaker 1: And you've had You've got a couple of ambassadors this year that have got some pretty boozy last names. Can you tell us about what they're doing giving up their last names for Drive Delay.
00:57:08
Speaker 19: Yeah, we're very excited to have Tang and Craig join us this year, and you know, they're very passionate about the cause, and so they've very been very kind to give up those boozy surnames for the month, but also they encouraging everyone to join their team and the raise funds with them. So it's a bit of fun, but you know, obviously it's for something. It's a really serious cause. It's close to so many of our hearts.
00:57:30
Speaker 1: Yes, this is Tanya Hennessy and Craig Foster, so of course you know they've got a couple of you know, famous Yes, absolutely so giving those up. I wonder how many you are out there. I mean we probably think of dozens. You know, if you're participating, you might want to change your last name and try to lay as well. There you go, and it is such an important it is important cause.
00:57:50
Speaker 4: And Julian, like you say, just some of the health benefits as well for people. I mean a lot of people enjoy drink and that's absolutely fine, but in terms of the health benefits, for those that give it up for a month, they can find that it really is something that they can perhaps sustain longer term as well or cut back a little bit with how much they're drinking.
00:58:09
Speaker 19: Absolutely, we have lots of it has been to get in contact to let us know. You know, those health benefits are better sleep, more energy, you know, all of those things. Having a bit of money even helps these days, as we know, are things that they continue well beyond July. So that's you know, I think one of the wonderful things about this sort of drive Gily movement is thirty one days is great for that habit forming and it's something then you can continue on well pass July.
00:58:31
Speaker 1: And we're finding a lot of you know, particularly younger people as well, deciding not to drink on a really regular basis. Anyway, are you finding that that's affecting or is it sort of changing the way that you do Drivejula at all. You know, you want people to participate raise money, but they might not be drinkers anyway. Is there other ways that they can give up something for drive Dely?
00:58:52
Speaker 23: Yeah.
00:58:53
Speaker 19: Absolutely. So if we do have people getting contact to say that they might not be drink as much, they might be not kind, might not be such the challenge it used to be, we always say to that you can give up something else. So you know, all of this is, you know, we are trying to raise funds for people who are doing it are tough. It's a really hard time to go through a cancer experience, and so maybe give up something that's a little bit more challenging for you. You know, for me, sometimes I give up coffee because that's always hard when I need it first thing in the morning. It might be that sweet. So that can be about anything. So you can give up something that you know, bit challenging that helps you raise fun for people affected by cancer and Jillian.
00:59:27
Speaker 4: For those that want to get involved, how can they best do it? What's the easiest way.
00:59:31
Speaker 19: It's very easy to come to drive July dot com. All you have to do is register and then just go out to their family and friends and you know, ask for their support through donations and we find a lot of people really enjoy doing it as teams, so you know, family, friends, workplaces. Just to be able to do it as that sort of community is a really great way to have a bit of fun but also raise a bit more money.
00:59:53
Speaker 4: Jillian, thank you so much for your time and good luck with the rest of the month. I'm sure it's going to be a big one.
00:59:58
Speaker 19: Thanks very much, greatly appreciate it.
01:00:00
Speaker 4: Fantastic. Jillian Odbert there the interim CEO of Dry July here in Australia, and why don't you say something like one hundred million dollars they've raised since two thousand and eight. That's an extraordinary amount of money.
01:00:10
Speaker 1: Huge campaign. It's been incredible over the years and you know, yeah again you can give up anything which is fantastic and raise those vital funds.
01:00:17
Speaker 4: We've been talking fuel prices this morning as well, because the fuel excise has been cut in half and that came into effect literally overnight. Kate, we've discussed that this week.
01:00:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're getting a lot of texts through on the text line zero double four eight zero eight thirteen ninety five, and you know, a lot of people were saying, yeah, they're seeing last night we had Mark in Hewitt's say, are filled up at a dollar forty five last night. This morning it's one sixty one point nine, just jumping up everywhere at the moment. But that is because that fuel excise was cut by the thirteen cents or sixteen cents, sorry, sixteen cents, so it's been added back on after the relief from the government there and seeing those prices jump up, but also you know, unfortunately Runny, probably a few extra cents added on there by a few serve stations as well, because we have been experiencing some really low low fuel prices at the moment in the mid one forties forties. Yeah, we haven't seen that for quite some time. Joining us on the phone though, we have Peter Natras from RAA, Good morning, Peter.
01:01:14
Speaker 6: Good morning Peter.
01:01:15
Speaker 4: In terms of shopping around and fuel prices, can we expect those I guess hips to be passed on pretty much immediately? We've had some calls about it already that prices are in this sort of dollar sixty range. Is that something we can expect to happen quite swiftly?
01:01:31
Speaker 24: We saw a small increase to the wholesale price that retailers are buying, which is an in advance of this excise coming back in. So we've just seen overnight and average increase to the average price of petrol in Metro Adelaide of around six cents a later, so it's still, you know, averaging a dollar fifty five, and we're seeing diesel as increased by about five cents, so average of a dollar seventy nine. So there certainly is some we'd say, some well priced fuel out there at the moment. We are expecting over the next week or so, not immediately for the excise to be passed through, So we would expect retailers to be good to their customers and make sure they pass on the savings that are already in their tanks.
01:02:17
Speaker 1: So, Peter, what you're saying is, if you're driving around looking for fuel today and you're expecting the prices to have gone up a little bit from yesterday, we shouldn't be seeing it jump that sixteen cents immediately.
01:02:28
Speaker 24: Absolutely, we'd be saying, and also saying to motorists make sure that you use your fuel lapse to your advantage today and support the retailers that are supporting you with passing through the savings that they've already you know, they've got to give.
01:02:42
Speaker 4: And Peter just I guess longer term, what's the sort of forecast for fuel prices. Perhaps hard to crystal ball, but they've been so low for a few weeks now, which has been great news and welcome relief after they got to that sort of two fifty range not that long ago.
01:02:57
Speaker 24: So we would say that we see this fuel excise increase from over the next week or so, which has the potential to add that sixteen cents back in, and then from the second of August there's another sixteen cents of excise to get back to the full level that the government has stated they'll do. So we see that fuel price over the next week or so, you know, and as you correctly identified, is at that level that is pre the current fuel situation. So good prices as we head towards the back end of the year, though, because there's this continuing conflict in the Middle East that you know, we would expect prices to be just moderately higher than where they are now.
01:03:40
Speaker 4: So good time to probably fill up now if you haven't already done. So Pete app thank you so much for jumping on. Five double a breakfast for us this morning.
01:03:48
Speaker 12: Absolutely, have a good day, great stuff.
01:03:50
Speaker 4: Peter Maatris there who is from the RAI.
01:03:56
Speaker 1: Knockdown field two with metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment.
01:04:02
Speaker 2: Metro homes. They do it all for you.
01:04:04
Speaker 3: Five double A Winter Breakfast. Tom Wren and Kate Collins.
01:04:08
Speaker 4: It is winter breakfast. We're definitely feeling it. Thirteen minutes to eight o'clock. It's quite mild. The temperature is reasonably pleasant in terms of degrees, but we're getting a fair bit of wind and rain and Kate, we've spoken about that and we can see it's a fairly overcast and dark and dreary start today. So we look across imas square. But rainfall we've had a fair bit of it so far this year.
01:04:28
Speaker 11: We have.
01:04:29
Speaker 1: We've had Ben text in from Glenelgeest. On the text line, he says on the rain the city had two hundred and ninety three millimeters for the first half of twenty twenty six. That's twenty percent above the average of two hundred and forty six and the same amount twenty twenty four and twenty twenty five had combined to the thirtieth of June, so a lot of rain, a lot of rain about today. We've got another big band of rain coming through we can see on the satellite picture shortly as well as we're about to get hit. I wonder how much we're going to get today.
01:05:01
Speaker 4: Well that's a really good point, Kate, and a big thanks to Ben Jordan, who we love his input. He loves all the stats. C Ander is our resident statistician here on five Double A and does a brilliant job. We've got a Beer and Barbecue Festival double pass to give away. Let's play a little game, Kate and c who is going to get the closest.
01:05:23
Speaker 3: Left nearest good pin on five Double A Breakfast.
01:05:28
Speaker 4: So these are tickets to the Beer and Barbecue Festival a double pass. We've got tickets to five Double A's Ultimate Friday Knockoffs and that is on Friday, the tenth of July, including tickets for you and a mate to our VIP area, plus beers and delicious barbecue food. We're asking the question this morning, Kate, how much rain are we going to get from midnight? That was this morning, So now we've already had five millimeters of rain, so we want to know how much are we going to get through total? In total until midnight tonight, So what's that sixteen hours and a little bit. Sixteen hours and twelve minutes from now, We've already had five millimeters, so it's going to be at least.
01:06:04
Speaker 1: That and we would certainly do have the rain coming through in the next half an hour. It's looking quite dark off the coast according to a few folks texting in on the text line as well, so we could be getting a bit.
01:06:16
Speaker 4: So give us a call right now eight double two to three double o double oh nearest the pin. How much rain are we going to get? And Emily's going to be our judge on this. So this is measured by the bureau. I think it's West Terrace where they take their gauge, so it's in the city. It's not going to be regional. It's going to be here in the city.
01:06:33
Speaker 1: Here in the city. We'll go with the city gauges, of course. I think that's a good one.
01:06:38
Speaker 4: So let's get it going. Let's go to Kathy, who wants to kick us off.
01:06:41
Speaker 7: Good morning, Kathy, good are you talking about in the city range?
01:06:45
Speaker 4: Yes, in the city range.
01:06:46
Speaker 10: Yeah.
01:06:46
Speaker 4: Correct. So we've had five meals already and it goes for another sixteen hours up until midnight. What do you think I let's go eleven eleven meals?
01:06:56
Speaker 1: Meals? Okay, eleven meals for Kathy.
01:06:59
Speaker 4: We'll go with it in what point one of a millimeter?
01:07:01
Speaker 11: Will?
01:07:01
Speaker 4: Okay, so you go eleven even that's good. We'll keep it going. Hello, rhtt you want to join in?
01:07:06
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll go about eleven point eighteen.
01:07:09
Speaker 4: Eleven point eight. Great stuff. Thanks for that, Rahtt. So we've got eleven and eleven point eight.
01:07:14
Speaker 1: Linda is on the line. How much rain are we going to get? Linda?
01:07:17
Speaker 17: Oh, good morning.
01:07:17
Speaker 4: I reckon about eighteen eighteen, so that'd be at the higher end.
01:07:21
Speaker 1: It would be at the higher end.
01:07:23
Speaker 11: I like it.
01:07:23
Speaker 1: Joe from Seaton, good morning, Good morning.
01:07:27
Speaker 15: I reckon about fifteen fifteen point five.
01:07:31
Speaker 4: Fifteen point five. Okay, we're writing all these down. This is great.
01:07:34
Speaker 1: Angelo, Good morning Angelo. How much rain are we going to get today?
01:07:38
Speaker 6: Seventeen point eight?
01:07:40
Speaker 4: They confidence?
01:07:41
Speaker 1: I think that was very confident delivering. Ben from Hawthorne, good morning.
01:07:46
Speaker 12: Yeah, good morning.
01:07:46
Speaker 15: It's just started on my windshield. I think fourteen point seven.
01:07:52
Speaker 4: Okay, fourteen point seven, good work. Let's go to Ingle Farm.
01:07:55
Speaker 15: Hello Graham, good morning guys.
01:07:57
Speaker 6: A great show. Twenty one twenty one.
01:08:01
Speaker 1: That is in the upper range. There we go, okay, it could be getting a dumping mark from Highbury? How much rain are we going to get?
01:08:07
Speaker 25: Good morning? How are you good?
01:08:08
Speaker 11: Thanks? Mark?
01:08:09
Speaker 26: Good?
01:08:10
Speaker 25: I reckon, we're going to get a down for thirty six?
01:08:12
Speaker 4: Oh wow, I like it. Good for the garden, Mark, don't it for the stars?
01:08:16
Speaker 11: Yeah?
01:08:17
Speaker 4: Nice?
01:08:17
Speaker 11: I like it?
01:08:18
Speaker 1: Good morning, Patrick? How much rain will we get today?
01:08:22
Speaker 11: Sixteen point five?
01:08:23
Speaker 4: Mil Well, I think we've already had that one, Patrick, so maybe just we had fifteen point five. Go another number seventeen seventeen? Okay, beautiful, what do you do? Seventeen? Good work? Dan's Patrick. Let's go to Tony from two Wells. Hello, Tony, here.
01:08:38
Speaker 8: You go to make twenty one and a half.
01:08:40
Speaker 4: Twenty one and a half twenty one point five. Beautiful work, Tony.
01:08:42
Speaker 1: Create one more gale from Salisbury Heights. How much rain? Gail?
01:08:46
Speaker 6: Yes?
01:08:46
Speaker 19: Twelve point one?
01:08:47
Speaker 4: Meil I think okay, twelve point one.
01:08:49
Speaker 11: I like it.
01:08:50
Speaker 4: We had a few on the lower end to start with, but then a lot at the higher end. Thanks, Gail, have a lovely day. Gee, we've got some real ranges there, do we do?
01:08:58
Speaker 1: Thirty six? I think that's probably little bit helped domistic potentially, But you know, who knows who knows that that rain band is coming through and looking at some heavy parts in that, you know, according to the satellite picture. So we'll wait and see who's closest to the pin.
01:09:12
Speaker 4: Okay, so that goes through until midnight tonight. We've already had five meals of rain, so we'll see how much more we get for the next sixteen hours and then it will cut off at midnight tonight. It is a time, though, Kate, to talk a little bit of footy, but also a little bit of economics, because our next guest is an absolute star in both fields.
01:09:38
Speaker 2: David Cash on five Double a Breakfast.
01:09:45
Speaker 10: Good morning, Hush, yes.
01:09:50
Speaker 6: Don com what a what a wonderful week?
01:09:54
Speaker 1: Well thought we get this out of the way first.
01:09:57
Speaker 4: Oh goshy that I was talking a few people as a I'm sure you were. If it's not one of the great showdown upsets, it has to go mighty close water performance. That was outstanding. You must be so proud.
01:10:08
Speaker 6: Yeah, really proud of the guys, and you know the focus has been on Zach and Jason as as it should be, but you know, Jordan's sweet and Josh Laie only his eleventh game. He was discovered playing amateurs last year in Victoria. So many players stood up and sort of the coaching like Josh had an incredible game as coach during the week that you'd be interested. He's themed it around I don't know whether you're a big ted Lasso fan.
01:10:49
Speaker 26: Yes, but he's seen the week around that famous dart scene, my favorite Rupert yep, and that his theme for the week with the boy is saying.
01:11:03
Speaker 6: You know you're up against an opponent who's likely to underrate you and isn't curious about what you can do. And I thought that was just a perfect scenario to build, as you say, one of the great showdown upsets around.
01:11:18
Speaker 4: Don't be judgmental, be curious. What a beautiful setting that was. Now I'll tell you what Koshi five and ten. I know it's not where you want to be win lost, but I think everyone can see the progression and the improvement and what Josh's doing, and he's building a game plan that I think once you do get to play finals, and it might be this year. It's got to stand up.
01:11:40
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, one hundred percent, and all the stats are champion data. Stats shows that we need to be a bit more accurate in the front end of the film, but certainly defensively, it's building a massive rock to it getting games into young kids. Because you look at our season ending injury list, it's pretty high top end talent that have been out for the season, and I think the young guys have really stepped up the troops and great credit to them for sticking at it. But yeah, it's a game plan on which we can build for the future, and that's enormous credit to Josh.
01:12:28
Speaker 4: And Miles Bergman. Potentially a chance this week. I think we'll cast you.
01:12:31
Speaker 6: To return and yep, and Pep played in the sample last week. Yes, so they will. You know, he's like the spiritual cultural leader of the group and we've really missed in the last twelve months with the ACL so it's exciting to see him come back because as you know, it's those injuries. It's a long road back for those players and the mental and emotion a toll is enormous on them, So it's good to have him back on the paddock.
01:13:04
Speaker 1: Absolutely, And we were talking earlier about Jason horn Francis as well. You know, a great player, you know, having a fantastic run at the moment, potential leadership qualities for him going forward. What are your thoughts?
01:13:15
Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, absolutely, sort of. Jason has built a consistency over the last sort of month two months or so, and you can see a real maturity in him coming through. And remember where without Connor Rosie and Jason has has really stepped up to support and lead with zak So and then Willem Drew is just the workhorse of the team who goes unrecognized. Willim Drew has never got a Brown Low vote. Would you believe I'm campaigning for Dreui to get a Brownlow vote at least this because he just is part of the engine room of Port Adelaide and never gets recognized for it.
01:14:07
Speaker 4: And he's one of those blue collar players that poor people just love. He does love all the unfashionable things. And just on Zach, I mean showdown medallist, who knows we don't know still yet if he's going to be there next year, but he's just putting together one of the all time seasons.
01:14:23
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's a beast and just the tenacity he plays with, he leads from the front, the passion when he crosses that white line, the passion he plays with is just enormous. So a great character and being a real foundation of the club since we drafted him in that famous draft of he and Codner and Gerzma, really changed the fortunes of the club around.
01:14:56
Speaker 4: And no change Coshi on his status at the moment, No.
01:15:01
Speaker 6: No, As you know, we really don't think about it much. As Zach has said, he'll make a decision at the end of the year and it's up to him and you've got to got to really respect his position. You cannot fault, absolutely cannot fault the commitment to the club and that's goes to his great character and why we love.
01:15:27
Speaker 4: Its the end of the financial year and the start of a new one, I'm sure for you, Yeah, you'd had the showdown.
01:15:34
Speaker 1: It's a new financial year. It's all happening for you.
01:15:38
Speaker 6: And also the property figures coming out for June as well. After all all the all the changes in the property market, which is showing a real downturn, the catality figures came out earlier this morning and for the last month, Sydney and Melbourne down down to the quarter. Adelaide was flat for the month, so starting to show maybe and lots of I'm reading lots of predictions of a property market crash and all that sort of stuff. I don't think we're going to see that at all. But the huge growth and property prices looks as though it's slowing down. The two big capital cities starting to retrace and come back a bit, so everyone should accept. You feel for those who may have bought recently on the government's five percent deposit scheme, they're looking a bit fragile at the moment. But generally across the property market, people are sitting on pretty good gains from the last couple of years.
01:16:47
Speaker 1: Well, that helped more people get into the market. We know how hard it is for particular and to the market.
01:16:54
Speaker 6: Really interesting because you would think with prices and values coming down that it would be more affordable, but the Housing Industry Association showing affordability has got worse. Why because of the increase in interest rates, So the increase in mortgage repayments is offsetting any reduction that we're seeing in values. At the moment, So we need interest rates to settle down or start to ease a bit if we want affordability to improve the people. So yeah, that's the accommodation.
01:17:36
Speaker 1: And one of the other changes that's come into effect today is payday super, so paying super instead of quarterly paying on the payday. What are the benefits of that, I suppose.
01:17:47
Speaker 6: Okay, the benefits of that is that it gets into your superannuation a lot quicker than it has been before your boss needed to do it, depending on the size of the business up to quarterly. For a lot of small businesses, that sort of provided a bit of a cash flow buffer, but that's no longer there for them, so when they pay salaries and they've got to pay super at the same time. So at a time when small business is under a fair bit of pressure and you're seeing it regular reports in the advertiser of restaurants and cafes closing and other small businesses builders not going through or not surviving, a combination of sort of payday super, increase in the minimum wage is putting a lot more pressure on small business cash flows. So for a lot of small business owners it's a time to really focus on finances and how the business is running because the financial demands have increased enormously.
01:18:56
Speaker 4: Yeah, times and time. That's a sure cause she always great to catch up. Thanks them much for coming on talking to you. Great co David Coss there who is the Port Adelaide FC chairman, and compare the market economic director.
01:19:13
Speaker 1: Knockdown build two with metro homes, move into ones and keep the other as an investment Metro homes.
01:19:20
Speaker 2: They do it all for you.
01:19:21
Speaker 3: By double A Winter Breakfast, Tom Wren and Kate Collins.
01:19:27
Speaker 4: We're into the final hour here on five Double A Breakfast. Great to be with you, Kate Collins and Tom Ren's true until nine o'clock and for the rest of the week. We love your input. Give us a call eight double two to three double A double O. That's exactly what Raymond has done. He is from Salisbury. Raymond, good morning to you. A bit of a traffic update out there for all of those listeners this morning.
01:19:46
Speaker 15: Yeah, good morning folks. I'm currently stuck in traffic on the floor of Expressway. I could see from the port Waffield Road overpas that the traffic was banked up for a long long way as far as I could see turns out apparently we've got an accident on Magazine Road. So yeah, anybody who's turning on to the Court of Expressways from Paul Waitfield Road, I'd suggest strongly that you continue down Paul Waitfield Road and use an alternate route to head west or get onto the South Road further down the road because it's a bit of a car park here at the moment.
01:20:20
Speaker 11: That's not good.
01:20:21
Speaker 4: Sounds like fairly significant delays, Raymond, Thanks so much. Drive safely and we'll hopefully get things alleviated there pretty soon. Thanks so much for the call, no sweat, great stuff Raymond. There from Saalisbury. Just with that traffic update, we're going to talk some cuttlefish in a moment. The issues that are going on there in Wayala. Kate will also talk illuminate. We're going to have a chat to them. The festival starts, a beautiful winter festival officially opens today. The travel habits of Australians. Things just starting to open up again. But right now we're going to talk a little bit of cuttlefish here.
01:20:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. School holiday is in a holiday time, holiday makers often head down near Wayala to check out our giant cuddlefish. It's a bit of a tourism draw card down there, but they will have to look at them from afar as of July one because there's new restrictions around the viewing of them in water activities to protect their breeding site. Joining us on the phone the Mayor of Wala, Phil Stone. Good morning to you, Phil.
01:21:20
Speaker 25: Good morning Kate.
01:21:22
Speaker 1: So tell us about these exclusion zone around our giant cuddlefish this season.
01:21:27
Speaker 25: Yes, it is going to do well. We've had a very slow start to the season and that's why the governments introduce this prohibition. Area is for in ninety days. However, if it is a late season and we do get large numbers, they can live at at any time. But it is for the protection about cattlefish, the community, all the operators, council, everybody agrees it has to be done. This is one of our slowest years for many, many years. Every year the number of cattlefish, and don't ask me how they count them. Back to twenty thirteen they were talking about down to thirteen and a half thousand. Then by twenty fifteen they got up to one hundred thousand. In twenty twenty, two hundred and forty seven thousand. Last year it was sixty four thousand, and the decision has been made to put this prohibition in place to protect and ensure that what cattlefish do arrive here. We have a few, certainly nowhere near that the numbers as normal, we have that large aggregation. The jury I believe, is going to be out for a while as to what is the cause. We were always being advised that the water was too warm. Then there's been a suggestion, well did the algal bloom play a part in this? But it does mean that unfortunately the glass bottom boats diving snorkeling on those particular sites for locals or for anybody that knows the air, and we have so many people that just keep coming back to view the cattlefish is the main diving points. You cannot access whatsoever to give the cattle fish the opportunity that are here to do their thing. I mean, we've still got so many activities happening on land. We're still going to carry on with our annual celebrations. Party will go on. It's just that our special guests, the cattlefish, won't be partaking in it. It is a little bit of a downfat community. I mean, this has been growing over recent years. However, the community in the main and certainly the operators will be behind this. We do know of people that have still been coming here, haven't been able to do any of the tours, but they still had a ball. We do have one operator that is set up for other sea tours, and we know that the waters are teeming with snapper crams do when it's a whole range of other fish. It's just that people that partake in this may not necessarily see cattlefish. You're not allowed in the area, as.
01:24:10
Speaker 1: You say, Phil, everyone's on board with this and protecting the breeding season for the giant cuttlefish. How big of an impact though, considering the effects of the algill bloom and how that really decimated business for a lot of tour operators along the coast, including there in Wyala, how vital is this to their business and are they able to pivot around this too?
01:24:33
Speaker 6: Well?
01:24:33
Speaker 25: I guess really it's a bonus to them. The fact that Geek, how long we been going on, only a few years. We've gradually been building up with the numbers once it's been exposed. I mean, we've got a heritage item here. It's not just national significance. It's worldwide. It's the only place in the world this happens, so we've certainly got that responsibility to protect it. It does mean I guess that extra little boost this time of the year, you know, I guess our off sort of season when it is winter. Our hospitality industry will will suffer from that. The operators that do all the tours, they're obviously going to be out of pocket. That extra boost isn't going to be there. But the fabulous thing is it's the operators themselves that have have been part of a group that has been looking at the future, looking at the issues, saying we've got to protect them, to make sure first of all for us that they come back, but secondly that we don't lose this incredible world activity.
01:25:42
Speaker 1: And you said, you've got some celebrations going ahead regardless, even if you can't go out and see the cuttlefish yourself, tell us about what's happening there, Phil right, We've.
01:25:52
Speaker 25: Got there's a whole lot of satellite events going on, particularly activities for kids. What I would suggest anybody that was coming to Wiler look at the cattlefish, don't cancel your plans. Still come have a look on our while of dot com and you can find out about all the events that you can get involved in. The majority of them these days are free that people put them on. So still visit Wiler. So much more to see as well, go for a walk on our unique Jenny. A whole lot of things. But while of dot Com is the place to go to exactly find out what's happening. As I said, there is so much on board for youngsters as well. Still things happening in Wiler, a lot.
01:26:34
Speaker 1: Of families I'm sure heading your way this school holidays as well. Phil Stonemare of Wala, thanks so much.
01:26:40
Speaker 25: Great, Thank you k Chiers, great stuff.
01:26:42
Speaker 4: Thanks so much for that, Phil, and just a nice reminder out there. Hopefully you know that sort of three month hiatus is enough for the cuttlefish to get breeding into really swelling numbers.
01:26:51
Speaker 1: Again, do their thing, as phel said.
01:26:53
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, do their thing correct. Eighteen minutes past eight o'clock now, Kate, we had a bit of pressure down coming in from John Farnham.
01:27:01

01:27:59
Speaker 1: We sure are. We've asked you what your favorite Farnsi song is, because of course it's the legend John Farnham's birthday today, and we've had Mark text in. John Farnham is an Australian legend. I like you're the voice me too. Mark. I've seen him live at Bross under the Stars a few years ago. That would have been a special experience. Also, Andrew, my favorite John Farnham song is comic conversations and the best version is when he sang it in concert with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in nineteen ninety. Oh wow, I don't know that one.
01:28:30
Speaker 4: There's a throwback. What was one of his first ones? Was it Sadie, wasn't it?
01:28:35
Speaker 11: Yeah?
01:28:36
Speaker 1: We all love that one.
01:28:36
Speaker 4: We'll keep the text messages coming and the calls. Let's go to Amber from North Haven. Good morning Amber. What's your favorite Johnny Farnham song?
01:28:44
Speaker 7: Definitely good voice. I think it should be our national anthem. But could I quickly to you a quick job fanum moment I was. I think I must have been fifteen or four. About fifteen back in the early seventy I wanted to go to the John Fan concert. It was at Saint Clair that used to be the roller skating rink, and I wasn't allowed to you anyway, So my girlfriend and I hooked up this thing. I told mom I was sleeping at airplace, but her mom let us do anything and took us to the concert, but bugging me down. We were right at the front and you got pushed against the stage and you'd crapped and they'd take you behind the stage, you know, And the next morning there I'm on the front page of the Sunday Mail.
01:29:35
Speaker 4: Wow, what a great.
01:29:37
Speaker 7: Group of girls. And of course Mum saw my face.
01:29:40
Speaker 1: Of mom then you were out.
01:29:43
Speaker 7: But it was worth it.
01:29:44
Speaker 1: It was worth it, absolutely and thank you for that.
01:29:52
Speaker 4: And there's a bit of her voice. You're the voice as well, so we love that one. Let's go to Graham, who's also got a favorite John Farnham song, Good morning Graham, Oh here going good? Thanks, don't you know?
01:30:03
Speaker 18: It's magic? And also I was at the concept when he did the promotion for the album at the Southern Aurora Hotel and Ganion on.
01:30:10
Speaker 1: Oh wow, when what year was that? Grame?
01:30:14
Speaker 6: I don't know.
01:30:14
Speaker 18: My wife would not that which is on the computer so I can't get hold of it. But yeah, I mean back in those days he had he had a mixture of news as he had Greg mccainish on the bass from Skyhook's Uh, he had Vannetta Field on the on the backing vocals on Ninja Field and the lead guitars from from Daddy Coole was was his lead guitarist. And also he saw the same drummer virtually still had it all this time. But yeah, in the same we got squashed against the stage we got squashed against the stage and I was also walking out with his white white leather coat on a big flowing coat when he walked out, and I can't think what the year was. It was it will promote the album, of course, but what a lot of And he thought he was expecting just his old schoolfriend and his family, and when he walked out, he nearly passed out. And you saw the crowd.
01:31:07
Speaker 1: Well it sounds like those early concerts really went off. Thanks for your call, Graham.
01:31:10
Speaker 4: Yeah, great stuff. And well we thought we'd just play a little bit of his favorite song and then we'll get to our next cats.
01:31:24
Speaker 11: There.
01:31:24
Speaker 4: Keep those classics coming in, folks, A double two to three, double O, double O and Kate. Travel has been a big talking point, and particularly over the Middle East with everything that's been going on in the past few months. But we've got Dean long Now from the Australian Travel Industry Association. He's the CEO there. Dean, good morning to you. Tell us a thing starting to open up travel wise for Australian you know, travel goers out there.
01:31:48
Speaker 17: Yeah, there's some great news for Australians looking to get through the Europe. The Middle East is back back open and operating really effectively. Mean in Adelaide alone, we've got Kata back flying the daily flight through Goha. That's really good. We know it's important to get that direct connectivity through so and good news with the lowering of that travel advice. Everyone's got travel insurance when they're transitting through the Middle East and hubs, which we know is a bit of a barrier for some people.
01:32:14
Speaker 1: Yes, I had a friend come back from transitting through the Middle East recently and she was saying they were the only ones on their flight back to Adelaide, which was quite incredible. So it's been pretty quiet over their Dean.
01:32:27
Speaker 17: Look, it has been quiet that we are finding now that the Department of Foreign Affairs has lowered that advice, that those flights are definitely filling up. And also we've seen the changes in the terms and conditions that the airlines were offering. So the airlines were offering almost total refunds or forward changes to any of the flights for that early impacted period. That has now returned back to the normal terms and conditions. So if you want to have full flexibility, you've got to pay for those So what you're finding that a lot of people are coming back. They're very happy to be traveling through the Middle East. They're going through there, and what's driving that is, Yes, look, they probably prefer to be going through Asia, but those are fair opportunities. The prices that Katar and Emirates and Needy had are putting into the market are very very attractive at the moment, So that's what's driving for a bit of interest.
01:33:12
Speaker 4: And Dean, I think the travel industry copped that probably part of than any during COVID. But how are things more broadly and generally now we've seen, you know, sort of the opening up of more airlines, since things have been relaxed, and since we've had travel come back, is it going along? Okay?
01:33:28
Speaker 17: Yeah, Look, there's no doubt. The word resilience is something the industry uses a lot, and I think it doesn't matter if it was COVID or this conflict here that we've had in the Middle East. We've had to recover and learn to blend to operate at a much higher level than what we were probably prior to COVID. Things are looking up last year alone. The members that I represent with the Travel Industry Association being those travel agencies that are accredited in those tour operators. We looked at that twenty million tickets worth about nineteen billion dollars. So Australians are absolutely getting that right before they transit or before they go on those holidays and it's really encouraging to see and.
01:34:05
Speaker 1: Dean, my instagram is blowing up with all my friends over enjoying a euro summer and making me feel very very jealous in this cold whether we've got back here in Adelaid but with more of these routes opening up, and of course, as you say, the Middle East a little bit more back on board now for the stopover route over to Europe. Is it too late for people to get on board and enjoy that eurosummer?
01:34:27
Speaker 17: Oh, definitely not. There's a amazing fairs at the moment. There's no doubt there were some cancelations for people that were traveling at the moment, which means they were Eastern capacity on those Middle Eastern carriers. But also look, we know that a lot of Australians and South Australians in particular are looking into shortthall into Southeast Asia, Japan, Vietnam, Thailand and Bali, which this continues to be the playground for Australians. Over one point seven million people visited Bali last year, so there's lots of opportunities and something for every budget and I think that's what people need to know. Yeah, Euroscummer is always going to be on people's bucket list and want to be doing at river cruising, et cetera. But there's really great short breaks that you can have into Southeast Asia which will give you that value for money and let your wallet go a little bit further.
01:35:11
Speaker 1: Great Staday is always a good one.
01:35:13
Speaker 11: Yeah.
01:35:13
Speaker 1: It as easy trip over and enjoy some warm, warm weather when we need it most.
01:35:17
Speaker 11: Absolutely great start.
01:35:19
Speaker 4: Thankstin, Thanks so much, Stan, have a great day.
01:35:21

01:36:25
Speaker 4: Beautiful song. He's seventy seven today, John Farnham, So happy birthday to the man with that iconic song. You're the voice Now. Something that is happening. It is July the first is very exciting, kad. It's the official launch today, the sixth iteration of Illuminate Adelaide and one of the co founders and creative directors, Lee Cumberleage, has been good enough to come into the studio this morning. Lee, good morning to you. Thanks for coming in.
01:36:48
Speaker 27: Good morning, thanks for having me.
01:36:50
Speaker 1: So it's so nice to see all the lights around Adelaide in this dismal time of year. It's really just a bit of a bright spark. And we've got so many great illuminate events that are already underway and some that are kicking off as well.
01:37:03
Speaker 27: Yeah, that's right. We're setting up our City Lights Free program at the moment, so you might have seen some of those installations are already lighting up as we set up. That kicks off on Friday night for the entire length of the school holiday, so seventeen nights straight of more than forty installations all throughout North Terrace, Rundle Street and Ramal Park. This time for the first time ever that we've been in the parkland, so expanding the footprint of Sita Lights. And there'll be some beautiful installations down there, including some amazing illuminated swans that will be swimming around.
01:37:35
Speaker 1: The lake, which is so great because of course at school holidays you can take the kids, get out after dark and see these beautiful light installations and the swans on the lake will just be the cherry on the top this year. That sounds incredible.
01:37:48
Speaker 27: Yeah, that's right. Well, it gets dark so early, doesn't it. But it's great to have something to take the family or the friends or even the grandparents out to see. We get multi generational groups coming through, people from all backgrounds. It's just wonderful to see. I think the streets of Adelaide come alive at this time of year.
01:38:05
Speaker 4: And you've got the augmented Games as well, which is a huge addition to the program. Tell us a little bit about that.
01:38:10
Speaker 27: Yeah, that's right. Augmented Games is an immersive gaming experience at Ridley Center at the Adelaide Showground, So we've taken over that building. We've got eight game fields that you basically step on to and that you're inside the game and they're quite fun, old school games that you can come with a group of family or friends and play. And the way we've set it up is so that you come on to the court, you might be sharing the court as well, taking turns with other people. So we've had people making new friends for the first time. You know, it's a really social element to it as well. But it's really active. There's memory games, things that will test your mental agility, or you might have to race the clock on it. There's eight different games to try, so a really amazing experience and that runs right through the holidays as well.
01:38:53
Speaker 6: Well.
01:38:53
Speaker 4: What I love as well is there's something, you know, for the younger kids, and Kate and I have both got young boys, and there really is something for all age groups. I think another show that is outstanding, particularly for the younger and older people is Universal Kingdom. That's also a really popular one.
01:39:08
Speaker 27: Yeah, that's right. The third iteration of Universal Kingdom this year that we're focusing on the Ice Age so we've got animal lanterns, we've got projections, and we've got lifelike puppets roaming around the zoo as well, but it's all focused on the megafauna of the Ice Age era. So really fun, you know, fun activity for the family, I guess for the particularly for the younger the younger kids and families.
01:39:31
Speaker 11: It's it's really good.
01:39:32
Speaker 27: And yeah, it was just a great partnership with a zoo and it's fantastic to be able to go in there after dark.
01:39:37
Speaker 1: And I've been seeing some beautiful shots of people visiting the Digital Abyss. So if you're an art lover and you love getting immersed in your art as well. That's a great one to visit.
01:39:46
Speaker 27: Yeah, that's right. We opened this last night and people were loving it. It's Miguel Chevellier as a French artist that we've brought out. He's our resident artist this year actually, so this is his exhibition focused on underwater deep sea flora and he's been working with art and computers for forty years, pretty much since computers were invented, so he's a really world renowned digital artist. And he's also doing two of our installations in the free program, so big projection work on the floor of Beneathan Hall at the Adelaide University. And then he's the artist that we've got lighting up Government House this year with a beautiful projection on the facade. So yeah, it's a very special privilege to have him here in town all this week. And yeah, the Digital Business definitely something to get to see.
01:40:33
Speaker 4: You and Rachel do such a great job in just revitalizing this program each and every year. How do you sort of come up with the ideas and is it a full year round project view? It obviously starts officially today through until the nineteenth.
01:40:45
Speaker 27: Yeah's all right, Yeah, yeah, absolutely, it takes probably about eighteen months to put the program together. So we've been working on twenty twenty seven already. We take a pause of course to deliver this one, but we get back into to finishing the twenty seven programs. So we're very lucky. We get to travel quite a bit and go see what's happening around the world in this area of art and technology. But we also now have become i think a little known in this in this area around the world, so we get a lot of proposals from artists from all over the world as well. So we think the artists that we've been presenting are going back and telling people all overseas about what's happening here in Adelaide. So so yeah, it's a.
01:41:18
Speaker 1: Real feather in our cap. Can you do such an incredible job of it as well? So sixth year you said of illuminate Adelaide, and we can't wait to immerse ourselves in it and experience it for ourselves.
01:41:28
Speaker 4: How good I was going to say, like you, I just love it. You know the fact that these free shows as well, and people can just walk around if that's what they want to do, if they want to go and see something specific. Have you got a favorite. I mean, it's probably hard like picking your favorite child. But have you got one or two that if you had to.
01:41:43
Speaker 27: Recommends as hard to pick? I mean, I think the one I'm looking forward to the most this year is an artwork in the Radford Auditorium at the back of the Art Gallery of South Australia is in the free program. It's called Rari Rari. This is wonderful artwork from the Malka Project from northeast Arnham Land and this this collective is really pushing the boundaries of contemporary first nations are and it's a beautiful installation. So but it's a little bit tucked away, so people have to go and find it and definitely want not to miss.
01:42:09
Speaker 9: No.
01:42:09
Speaker 1: We like hearing about the hidden gems and such a wonderful program as well. I think this time of year, you know, traditionally South Australia has big events in the warmer weather as well, but illuminates such a fantastic event happening in the cooler months as well. Thanks so much, Lee.
01:42:22
Speaker 4: Thank you great, Thanks so much, Lee. I'm sure it'll go very well over the next two and a half three weeks. It all starts officially today, so please keep an eye out for all of the activities with regards to Illuminate and you can go online Lee, Yeah.
01:42:34
Speaker 27: That's right, illuminat Adelaide dot com for all their details and tickets as well.

Speaker 4: It's twelve minutes to nine o'clock here on five Double A Breakfast. We've had a great time this morning, Kate, haven't.
01:43:01
Speaker 1: We we have. We've talked about a lot of things.
01:43:03
Speaker 4: I'm fight up about Illuminate, looking forward to taking their boys out and about nice to get them outside and I know it gets a little bit chilly out there, but you just rug them up and they've loved it.
01:43:12
Speaker 1: And just so great to have another festival happening here in Adelaide in South Australia during the cooler months as well. We do the summer once so well with Mad March and everything.
01:43:21
Speaker 4: The fringe and Fringe all everything.
01:43:23
Speaker 1: Around there, but to have something happening in the cooler months when we tend to just want to. Hibernate is fantastic and Illuminate do it so well. So lots of things to get out and see these school holidays if you've got kids or if you love your art. They have music as well, immersive sound experiences during Illuminate too. There's so much on offer.
01:43:41
Speaker 4: There is a lot going on, and there's a lot going on with the World Cup at the moment. Now for those waking up this morning wondering what has happened, will we know The Soccaroos are playing on Saturday morning against Egypt round of thirty two match, so they're hoping to go through to the round of sixteen. It's all knockout matches from here at. Norway has beaten the Ivory Coast two goals to one. They scored an eighty sixth minute winner I reckon it was Earling Harland who plays for Manchester City, and then in the game just completed France, who were one of the pre tournament favorites. Kate, they've won it twice before. Very good team killing Mbappe he scored twice. They destroyed Sweden three Neil could have easily been four or five and David Pempathy, who we know is away on a bit of a holiday now he will be watching this match coming up at ten thirty hour time, Mexico taking on Ecuador, so that's a huge opportunity for Mexico to go through to the round of sixteen.
01:44:29
Speaker 1: A lot happening out on the roads and with the weather as well. This morning, we've got Dale from Septon Park joining us on the phone with a bit of a traffic update. Dale, what's happening, Well, there's.
01:44:39
Speaker 18: An accident at the corner of Notedge Terrace and Northeast Road heading into the city.
01:44:44
Speaker 6: So it's nane. Yeah, it's one lane going in.
01:44:48
Speaker 1: Okay, so avoid that area if you possibly can. I think thanks for that.
01:44:55
Speaker 4: Is it weather affected? Dale? Is that the reason? Why can you see what the course.
01:44:58
Speaker 6: Was in the wrong way?
01:45:02
Speaker 1: So yep, okay, well thank you for that, Dally. Void that area if you can, look, Tom. The weather is playing a huge part this morning. There's a lot going on out there. So to get the very latest because the rain is dumping down, I've heard there's hail, there's all sorts happening. To get the latest, we're joined by Jessica Braithwait nine years weather presenter on the phone. Good morning, Jessica. How are you?
01:45:25
Speaker 23: Oh hi, guys, Yeah, oh god, I didn't get much sleep last night, I tell you what. Those storms came through early on and it's been all happening since then, hasn't it?
01:45:32
Speaker 1: Sure is? Yeah, I was the same. I didn't get much sleep. My dog's got crazy during all the lightning. So I think a few bleary eyed people around this morning, But it is all happening out there at the moment. Jessica. What are we seeing?
01:45:44
Speaker 23: Yeah, so big rain, big storms. There's a big going on. It's kind of like sort of almost got three rounds of this weather actually, so we've got what a lot of people would have noticed this morning. It's already bucketing down in the western suburbs. We've got this system moving down from the north. It's bringing the storm worms as well, and really heavy showers within that. But that's kind of just the first part of it. Then later on today we'll see a front arriving until you might notice the winds changing direction a bit, getting a little bit colder. That will bring another dose of rain and probably ramp up the wind as well. So that I guess you could think of that as step two. But really, I mean, if you think wet, stormy, and windy, that's the vibe of today. And then we've actually got another round coming in tomorrow as if that's not enough, another kind of a system coming through which will also bring potentially even sort of wetter and windier weather. So there's there's quite a bit to get through over the next really couple of days.
01:46:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, there any sort of areas today, Jessica that are going to be more affected than others.
01:46:46
Speaker 23: Yeah, I'm actually watching pretty closely in eastern parts of the state. So even already we have a severe weather warning in place for the northeast past or the Riverland is another one to watch. If you think of it kind of like if you imagine like a wave on the ocean coming in. We've kind of got this wave coming in over the ocean over us, over Adelaide, but it's kind of building up, and if you imagine, it's kind of going to crash down on the eastern half of our state around those riverland and those eastern areas, and that's why they could cop it even worse than us. So that's why I'm keeping an eye on those areas. But overall, it's pretty widespread. You know, most areas apart from the north of our state isn't going to be as wet, but most areas are getting something.
01:47:28
Speaker 4: And Jess we had a text in a little bit earlier saying that I think we've had twenty percent more rainfall for the first half of the year than what we're normally used to average wise, are we expecting a fairly wet July. I think we have had a pretty sort of wintry start, which you know, you expect obviously this time of year.
01:47:45
Speaker 23: But you know what, I'm actually not going to make a bed on that. It's been so up and down lately that I'm hesitant to predict. I know a couple of times we've had these really big web spells and I've come out of it thinking, gosh, we must have blown through our average, and then I go and look back and it's like, oh no, it's actually actually it hasn't been. It just sort of feels that way. So I'm going to let that one play out for July, Rennie, and you know what, well, let's touch base at the end of the month. I love see what happens.
01:48:18
Speaker 1: Well, it looks like we're in for a little bit of a wild one today and tomorrow. But thanks for bringing us up to date. Jessica. It's great to talk to you.
01:48:24
Speaker 23: No worries, stay dry, good stuff.
01:48:26
Speaker 4: Thanks for that, Jessica. Braithwait nine News whether presenter does a brilliant job. Kate, time to check out what is happening with regards to the breakfast fuel watch. It's better to be a member with RAA Roads Service and just a reminder just to drive to the conditions today because it does tend to bring a few people unstuck, and don't get stuck on the side of the road. Get RAA Roads Service unletted out there. Now we know the fuel excise has been cut in half overnight, so that's going to get passed on reasonably quickly. But out there at the moment as it stands, at the Liberty at Camden Park a dollar forty six point five you can fill up for the United at Summiten Park is a dollar forty five point six, and the Hugo at elizabeth Vale is a dollar forty eight point nine and diesel you can find that. The Liberty at Port Adelaide is a dollar sixty six point five so there's still some pretty good bargains around the place if you do your shopping around.
01:49:20
Speaker 1: Absolutely the advice from the raa earlier we spoke to them, they said that fuel excise cuts shouldn't be passed on immediately, and so we should look for those good prices and support those service stations that are still looking after their customers by keeping prices at those lower points that we're seeing at the moment.
01:49:37
Speaker 4: And just had a text on the five double a text line zero double four eight zero eight thirteen ninety five. We've heard of some traffic hazards out there. Another one on Old Blair Road. A car has broken down going towards Belair, so just be aware of that. That's from Harry in Belvie Heights, so just keep an eye on that, folks. There are a few issues out there, so give yourself an extra five or ten minutes on the roads if you can do that.
01:50:00
Speaker 1: Pretty impressive cloud pictures coming in as well on the text line as well. I've had one here from Brenton from Birkenhead and Jessica was talking about how those it was almost rolling in of the ocean was going to crash in over the riverland parts of our state as well. That system that we're seeing and that they're looking really ominous, and even out the window here you can see those clouds hanging over the hills. It's looking really dark and stormy out there today. So take care everyone on the roads, especially because the roads are slippery.
01:50:27
Speaker 11: Yeah, they are.
01:50:28
Speaker 4: And Kate, we played our Nearest to Pin a little bit earlier. I think it was at ten to eight we played it. We'd had five millimeters of rain as of you know, the start of the day, officially from midnight, and we're asking what is it going to be by the time we get to midnight. We had ranges all the way from I think about eleven meals through to thirty six. What are you going to? What's your guests?
01:50:44
Speaker 1: Well, I'm thinking that thirty six isn't looking so bad now, considering it's really dumped down in the last hour or so, but maybe not quite that high. I think my guess is we're going to end up around eighteen point two.
01:50:58
Speaker 4: Oh, I think it's at eighteen point now. Oh, so that's just coming through from average that has just come through. Literally as you spoke, you didn't see that. I did not see that there's eighteen point two right now, so in the last hour, I think we've had what thirteen meals of rain.
01:51:13
Speaker 1: That is significant, So maybe that thirty six isn't looking so crazy after all.
01:51:18
Speaker 4: Yeah, we've had a lot that went less than that. Goodness we have because they said seven to twenty the bureau, didn't they, So yet we've had the higher end of that already. Much on for the day. Quite.
01:51:28
Speaker 1: I am working today. I am so keep on working.
01:51:31
Speaker 4: That's it. You're a machine.
01:51:33
Speaker 1: But a good day to be inside, I think.
01:51:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, a very good day to be inside. I think off to the gym for me. I need a lot more work there, so I'm going to race off and then we'll be back tomorrow. Though we've got a couple more days to go.
01:51:43
Speaker 1: We sure we can't wait.
01:51:44
Speaker 4: Looking forward to that. We'll give away our price for Nearest to the Pin. Plenty of other things coming up tomorrow and of course on Friday as well. Stick around though, because after the news with Kendall Breddig and Corey Norris, we will have Matthew pantell Us on with Mornings. He's got plenty coming up, including a chat with Stuart O'Grady. The two and down under Root or Roots are being announced today, which is always exciting. Of course that will happen in January, so it's a much warmer time of the year, but always a great time, so stick around. Matthew Pantellas doing a brilliant job in mornings at the moment. Plenty more coming up throughout the day. Five Double A Sports Show a little bit later today after four o'clock, But Kate, that's it from us.
01:52:26
Speaker 1: Yes, Dave, you have a great danger you too, will see you again tomorrow.
01:52:29
Speaker 4: Catch again tomorrow. Folks, have a wonderful day. This has been five double A Breakfast
Speaker 1: Knockdown build two with metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment Metro Homes.
00:00:07
Speaker 2: They do it all for you.
00:00:09
Speaker 3: Live from hein Marsh Square. It's five double a winter Breakfast. Tom Wren and Cake Collins.
00:00:18
Speaker 4: Good morning and welcome to this Wednesday. It is the first of July, the start of the new financial year. Eddie is Tom Ren and Cake Collins. Will have been with you all week and we'll be through until Friday. Bit of weather around as we get right in the midst of winter. As I welcome in Cake Collins for the first time this morning. Cake, good morning to you.
00:00:35
Speaker 1: Good morning Rennie. I'm a little bit bleary eyed this morning because we did we don't have a bit of lightning and thunder overnight. I don't know about you out there, but my dog does not like it. And so if there's any sort of flashes of lightning or thunder, she just goes absolutely nuts. And it's really hard. It's like calming down a child, you know, out in the middle of the night. So I was sort of up with her trying to get her to stop barking and waking up the neighbors. And yeah, I'm a little bit, a little bit tired.
00:01:03
Speaker 4: Oh that's fair enough. I'm sure a lot of people would have gone through that. The dogs don't like the wild weather, do they know?
00:01:08
Speaker 1: And it was even that wild. I think it's just the flushing and yeah, you know, it's enough to just really upset them.
00:01:14
Speaker 4: Well, we have some temporary fencing. We're doing some renovations at the moment. We're in BELvue Heights and the temporary fencing with the wind got blown over and it was a massive bang and I thought, oh no, but look it wasn't too bad, but it was still significant enough to wake everybody up in the house. So give us a call, folks, eight double two to three double o double is the number, Or send us a text zero double four eight zero eight thirteen ninety five. Did you have much wild weather where you were last night? Did anything happen that wouldn't otherwise normally take place? There was a fair debris where we were, a bit of rain around, some lightning, as you say, Kate, heard some thunder. So a little bit just to wake you up in the middle of the night. We'd love to get your thoughts and hear from you. This morning. We have got a big show on today. Kate going to be heading over seas shortly to find out the latest from nine's Europe correspondent Mimi Becker. It's been very warm over there for the past couple of weeks in Europe, really warm, actually warm.
00:02:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean obviously France, and you know France is pretty hard hit normally through there, but you know, temperatures that are essentially killing people, and a lot of those are really from you know, not necessarily heat stress, but from drowning because obviously everyone's flocking to the coast it's a euro summer, but you know, with high numbers of people swimming and getting around water, they've had a lot of drownings as well. But do you know, temperatures that we're quite used to as Australians, you know, up in the high thirties, even up around forty is pretty typical for US summers, but just not coping over in Europe, and even in Wimbledon when we're going to talk to Mimi about temperatures are not too high. It's very typical summer weather for US, but for the English, they just don't cope with it as well, do they tell me?
00:02:57
Speaker 4: Well, and they probably don't have the infrastructure and you know, the coping mechanisms that perhaps we do as well. But you're right, they're just not acclimatized to it as perhaps as well as we are, so they're really struggling with it, and not just in England, but I think a lot of Europe. So yeah, well we'll have a bit of a look at that. Also, scams, this is something I think we've all been subjected to in the past. How to spot them. We're going to talk a little bit about that this hour. We'll get the latest sport from Corey Norris, who's in the newsroom today, which is great. The SOCCREUS we're getting close towards their Round of thirty two match coming up against Egypt and there's a lot of excitement and they're teaming up or the supporters are, at least with the Texas Rangers, which are a baseball team. There's been some great scenes over in the United States with the Scottish fans getting involved at Boston Red Sox baseball games. It's been sensational, so we'll have a look there. We'll also discuss the horrible amount of crashes we've had this week and in the past few weeks on our roads. The road toll is far too high and a lot higher than it was last year, so we'll talk through that. It's the new financial year that we'll have a look at that. Dry July kicks off today, so we'll talk to the CEO. From there, we'll go around the courts with Sean Fust to have a chat with David Kosho's pretty up and about after the showdown win as well, Kate. What a victory that was.
00:04:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, I'm sure we have a few things to say about that.
00:04:17
Speaker 4: Come wait to talk to him, and we'll also talk about Illuminate, which officially begins today. We'll do that after eight point thirty this morning. So we've got a lot going on today on five double A Breakfast, but it's time to head over to Europe because Wimbledon is up and going. It's an exciting time. A lot of tennis fans out there. I am definitely one of them, Kate, and I know that our next guest is as well. It's the nine News Europe correspondent Mimi Becker, who we know very very well.
00:04:45
Speaker 1: Do We both worked with Mimy at Channel nine, so it's great to talk to her. Good morning, Mimmy, how are you?
00:04:52
Speaker 5: Good morning to you both. It's so lovely to touch you. And where else that Wimbledon.
00:04:56
Speaker 1: I know you've got a bad job there, Mimmy.
00:05:01
Speaker 6: I know, I know.
00:05:02
Speaker 5: It's absolutely amazing and it's incredible because all eyes are on center court right now.
00:05:06
Speaker 4: Of course, guy, it's amazing, isn't it? So Maya joint is the Australian she's taking on Serena Williams, who's really the huge story of this tournament so far, isn't She hasn't played for four years. She's forty four, Mimi and making a comeback, and it's really tense at the moment. It's a tight match.
00:05:22
Speaker 5: It is a really tight match, and it really is Serena signaling that she's back, as you say, she's returning after four years, the forty four year old returning here to center court, and there was standing ovation, of course from the crowd. But Serena says she has really little expectations coming into this game, this evening here. She wants to play tennis again so that her children can watch her, and she also wants to test herself and that's exactly what's happening. Right now because Maya Joint, that twenty year old Australian is absolutely testing Serena on the court. Maya has won one game, Serena's one the other and it's close battle in the third. So it's very very tense here at Wimbledon.
00:05:58
Speaker 1: But exciting it is it?
00:06:00
Speaker 4: Siting, isn't it? So that match is happening at the moment at a set of piece, as you say, Mimi. So hopefully from an Aussie perspective, my joint, who's got a really bright future, can get through that match, but a fair few other matches as well. Overnight and Alex demon Or one of the other Aussies that has gone through.
00:06:16
Speaker 5: Yes he has. So he shook off some early nerves to eventually get a straight set win. He was playing Argentinian Roman Bochaga and as I said it was, the first set was quite a long one. I went for over an hour, but then he eventually managed to take it out in three. And he of course is the fifth seed, so he is one of Australia's best hopes here at Wimbledon this time around. And we have had a heartbreak unfortunately for Tanathi Copnarchist, who lost in five sets, So that was a thriller that game. But what we are you know, I feel like my joint is going to be the name here of the tournament, especially tonight. And I was doing some research ahead of it and found out that she wasn't even born when Serena had seven Grand slams under her belt. It's pretty incredible.
00:07:00
Speaker 1: What a start. That's incredible, I have to ask you, Mimi though as well. We've had a bit of We were talking a little bit yesterday about the outfit that Naomi Osaka sort of came out to Center Court with, you know, quite an extravagant sort of kimono type situation, a bit of an entrance before she revealed her tennis dress. What are your thoughts on that? And also have you seen any more theater around fashion and what you know the women are wearing on Sena court at all?
00:07:26
Speaker 5: Of course, what it is always a moment now. I think Naomi has made a name as for herself in tennis, but of course as well in fashion, and we are waiting now for her appearances to find out what it is she's going to wear. And of course this is a really traditional outfit that we saw yesterday and it did stick to the tradition of Wimbledon whites as well, so that's what we've been seeing both on the court and off the court here at Wimbledon.
00:07:49
Speaker 7: It is a little different to the.
00:07:50
Speaker 5: Australian Open over here in the sense that it is a bit more prim and popera rather than the sort of party, grand happy slam that we see in Australia. So that sort of tends to be the same in the fast stakes as well.
00:08:01
Speaker 4: And Mimi, what about the weather over there. We've seen it's been really warm in Europe and hot, in fact, uncomfortably. Is it cooling down a little bit or how's the forecast looking it is?
00:08:12
Speaker 5: So I think, you know, people say that the Pom's like to complain that this heat wave was unlike anything else, and it honestly hits so different over here. It feels so much hotter, but luckily in time for the championship it has cooled down a little, so we're sort of seeing tops of you know, twenty six to thirty thirty will feel incredibly hot here as opposed to in Australia that will be considered very hot, but it's nothing like the thirty five or thirty eight that we did see last week. So we'll have to keep an eye on the weather because there are some warmer temperatures coming into the second week of the Championship as well, so that.
00:08:47
Speaker 1: Could throw us latent a lot and walking around after your time in South Australia, particularly, Mimi, you'd just be walking around with your strawberries and cream wondering what everyone's complaining about. I suppose with the heat, I know, right.
00:08:57
Speaker 5: You've got to soak it up. You've got to soak it up. But it is sweaty, I can say that much.
00:09:01
Speaker 4: Well, Mimmy, thanks so much for joining us. You're doing some great work, great reporting over there. We'll catch up with you soon and let's hope my joint can get the job done against Serena Williams.
00:09:10
Speaker 5: Yes, nice to stat to you both.
00:09:11
Speaker 1: Great to talk to, Mimmy. Thank you. May be back of their nine News euro correspondent at Wimbledon.
00:09:16
Speaker 4: And joint has just gone up three to two. Serena Williams is serving at two three and it's love thirty so a chance for Joint to get a break of SERVI will keep you updated there as well. Corey Norris in the newsroom. Let's have a chat to Michael out at Ross Trevor, who's got a friend who's overseas. Michael, good morning to you, and she's.
00:09:35
Speaker 8: In croatianm Belarus and cycling and reporting that it's forty five degrees out on the road and I can only imagine it's just like being back here in Adelaide in summer for the TDU. The cyclist riding around in January and they're just melting.
00:09:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, and especially when you sort of combine the heat of the road and you know that sort of reflecting and you're exercising at the same time, that'd be very uncomfortable, Michael.
00:09:59
Speaker 8: Very uncomfortab today middle of winter, it's only ten degrees overnight.
00:10:05
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, exactly, yeah, exactly.
00:10:08
Speaker 1: Quite contrast for us at the moment.
00:10:10
Speaker 4: And funny that he talks about the TDU as well, because the race routes are being announced a little bit later today. Yes, so looking forward to that. Studo Grady, who's the race director, will do that about lunchtime this morning or just before, so we'll keep an eye on that. But the twodown Under will be here before we know. It's been goodness, nearly thirty years since that event started? Has it really in nineteen ninety nine, I reckon that began, well.
00:10:32
Speaker 1: You know, you're right, and I had a bit of a moment. I was out. I went to TONANNDA and you know how they've got that big entry arch into Tonnder and I still remember that being sort of set up, you know when it was, you know TDU because it's kind of the welcome into the town. You know, such a hot spot there for you know the TD route and yeah, thinking, gee, that's been there a while and it has thirty years. That's insane.
00:10:56
Speaker 4: It's amazing how fast it goes. We are up at about here on five Double A Breakfast, seventeen minutes past six o'clock. Time for a short break. We'll be back with Blnny Moore on the other side.
00:11:08
Speaker 1: Knockdown build two with metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment. Metro homes. They do it all for you.
00:11:16
Speaker 3: Five Double A Winter Breakfast. Tom Rang and Kate Collins.
00:11:22
Speaker 4: Coming up to twenty one minutes past six o'clock on this Wednesday, the first of July, will talk some sport in a moment, A lot happening with regards to the World Cup, Winmwood and also some football, but Kate scams. There's something that are becoming more and more sophisticated out there and it's getting harder and harder to spot them.
00:11:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, it really really is so many different ways that people are falling into the trap. But look, you know that it is positive that the government is trying to do something about it, you know, giving people some sorts of indications or hints, you know if a number that's calling them or texting them is actually legitimate or not. So we have I've seen some new rules from the Australian Communications and Media Authority come into effect from today where organizations can register their sender ID. So this is like the caller ID that comes up on your phone when somebody is calling or texting you, registering that ID so that somebody who's receiving that call or text knows that you're a verified, legitimate business, which is a really great move. It's the first step I suppose for people to be able to identify whether they even want to pick up that call or look at that text or delete it. So on the phone with us now we have Associate Professor Mark Gregory, who is a telecommunications expert from the r MIT School of Engineering, Good morning to you, Mark.
00:12:46
Speaker 9: Good morning.
00:12:47
Speaker 1: This is a good move I think for giving people another tool to help them identify scams.
00:12:52
Speaker 9: Yes, this is a very positive move forward by the ACMA and the government. It does mean that the the register that's been put together by the ACMA will be accessed by the telcos so that they can identify whether asfender is registered or not registered. And if they're not registered then you will get the word unverified appearing next to an SMS. So, for example, if someone's trying to imitate Australia Post, you would get this message saying you know Australia Post, but then unverified and so you should immediately think to yourself, hang on unverified, I need to check this because it's likely to be a scam.
00:13:41
Speaker 4: Well that's a great warning for people when they get those messages come through. They are becoming so much more sophisticated, aren't they, mark Because you get those ones, for example that say hey Mum, I've lost my phone, can you please send money? Or you know, we hear these horror stories of people that send thousands of dollars to a potential girlfriend or boyfriend, they wait at airports and they've they've traveled half the world and just get totally scammed out of their money and saving. So people, what are some of the other telltale signs that you are potentially being cooked in or scammed?
00:14:12
Speaker 9: Mark Well, the SMS is typically used to target people with these imitation scams, and so that is exactly the thing you describe, which is where you get a message claiming to be your daughter or a son and they need money and send it here. So imitation scams are a pretty common one. And look, the average person always tries to err on the side of helping people, and when we see that type of message, our first thought is we've got to help them. So this is really trying to provide a trigger to us to not do that when we look at organizations that we deal with. Another common one is that you get a message saying that you've got mail with Australia Post and that you have to send some money to get it released. You know, you've got to build it's outstanding if you're with an energy company and you need to here to pay the latest bill. So that it's a range of different approaches that these criminals take to try and get money out of us. And this is going to be great because we're going to get that unverified word that they're saying, hey, look, think twice. Don't do what an average person would do, and that is to immediately make the payment or try and be helpful. This is likely to be a scam. You need to follow up and check.
00:15:41
Speaker 1: And yeah, that's so important because we are quite busy and you often look at your phone quickly if something comes through when you before you know what, you've clicked the link. Because they are hiding behind these big, legitimate businesses that we all use every day, and I guess they are fishing for those for those things. I know I've received one saying, oh, there's you know, you've got an issue with your account with this bank. And I know I don't have a you know, a bank account with that bank, and that's fine, but a lot of people do, and they would catch those people out and they've clicked the link. And I suppose this is just one really good way that we can be alerted to something when we're on the goal and busy and distracted in life as well. So it's a great step forward. Thanks so much for your time. This morning, Associate Professor Mark Gregory for me r MIT School of Engineering on those tech scams.
00:16:28
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's it. And I think everyone gets targeted at some point, and some are more obvious than others, aren't they. You know, you can sort of almost tell straight away that this is not legitimate or you know, it's poorly written. But some of them are really really quite meaniable.
00:16:41
Speaker 1: AI voice exactly, you know, copying voices and all that sort of thing. Gosh, it's a huge, huge problem area.
00:16:47
Speaker 4: But that is a great little bit of advice, unverified. If you see that, that's an immediate red flag, you know, don't fall for it basically, and you know, just continue on or report it, or you know, just delete the message because otherwise you could be getting scammed and scammed pretty significantly. Time to talk a little bit of sport now. There is plenty happening in the world of sport right now. So Cory Norris has come on in from the news room this morning to have a chat with There's Corey.
00:17:12
Speaker 10: Good morning, Good morning you, Tom.
00:17:14
Speaker 1: And Mary's so good to see you. It's a big reunion this season.
00:17:17
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's great. Now, what is going on one Monthy.
00:17:22
Speaker 10: Yeah, we'll reny my joint, the young od. Yes, she's serving for the match against Serena Williams at Wimbledon, and this is amazing. This would be a huge win for her. She's ranked eighty seven in the world and of course Serena Williams, forty four year old goat of women's tennis, making her return, but she is about to be bundled out of Wimbledon.
00:17:41
Speaker 4: Which would be huge. I think my joint as well, had such a good year last year, but I think this year professionally she was into the top sort of twenty five thirty. She's had a three and fourteen season, so she's really struggled, almost a bit like second year blues. So in fact, I think she's just clicked over and won the match. So that's fantast That's huge for her, just at the confidence to beat Serena, who the crowd would have been going for. Yep, that's massive.
00:18:03
Speaker 10: Yeah, she held a nerve look and she's the rising star of Australian tennis. We don't have to too many at the moments, so she's one of our great hopes in the women's draw.
00:18:12
Speaker 1: That was incredible. Have Mimi Becker who we spoke to before, was saying that that Maya wasn't even born when Serena already had several Grand slams under He's insane.
00:18:21
Speaker 10: Yeah, huge and the crowd obviously probably most of them supporting Serena Williams in her return, but to be able to hold her nerve in that big moment.
00:18:32
Speaker 4: And we just we just have a listen to how she got it done. Literally just a minute or soul go.
00:18:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, may joint has just been my end.
00:18:45
Speaker 4: Yeah, great stuff that audio, thanks to nine Jim. So really good result there for the Ossie. Speaking of the Aussies, Alex Demonor through Tory.
00:18:52
Speaker 10: Yeah, he defeated Roman Brewer Charger in straight sets seven, six sixty one six love, a little bit of a nervy start, but got the job.
00:18:59
Speaker 4: Done and that's good to see. But the nasci Coockonark is down in five, which is disappointing.
00:19:03
Speaker 10: This is unfortunate, isn't it. Yeah, make it coming back and battling with injuries and whatnot. But he was there but just couldn't get the job done.
00:19:11
Speaker 4: And Corey, we know this Soccero's aren't far away. We've got another match happening shortly between France and Sweden, but a little bit of footy were reported Would Brandon our colleague reported last night Wane Miller said to miss another week unfortunately.
00:19:22
Speaker 10: Another week with that hamstring strain. But I guess some good news that Isaac Rankin is expected to be on the flight to Perth today. Of course they take on the Eagles on Friday night. Isaac Rankin expected to play despite being on light duties yesterday training.
00:19:36
Speaker 4: And Jason Horn Francis, I think he's going to talk. Doesn't do that much meatia does he so nice to see him.
00:19:41
Speaker 10: Doing his head up to how good is he going as well?
00:19:43
Speaker 4: Amazing, unbelievable. He was so good last week. He's having a pretty good he's had. I know he's had some quiet games, but when he's at his best, my word, he is impressing.
00:19:51
Speaker 10: And his leadership has just gone to another level. I think he be right in the conversation to take on a leadership role. I think over the next couple of years at Port Adlick.
00:19:59
Speaker 4: Yeah, no doubt about that. Corey. Great to have you into that. Thank you, fantastic, great stuff, Corey Norris. They're joining us to talk a little bit of sport, Kate, We've got plenty more coming up after six point thirty. Are you starting to get the World Cup.
00:20:11
Speaker 1: Bug a little bit? I was sort of recounting yesterday's.
00:20:16
Speaker 4: Match, the penalty shootout.
00:20:17
Speaker 1: It's abody shoot out with the Paraguay ended up.
00:20:18
Speaker 4: With that's right against Jerny.
00:20:20
Speaker 1: I't go a little bit excited recounting that yesterday. So maybe I am. Maybe I'm being converted as we go along. It's pretty cool to be part of.
00:20:27
Speaker 4: It's nice, is that?
00:20:28
Speaker 11: Yeah?
00:20:28
Speaker 4: And then later in the day the Netherlands went down in a penalty shootout, which was incredible to Morocco. Look, Morocco are a very good side, but I think everyone expected the Netherlands to go through. France and Sweden just kicking off now, so there's plenty of soccer action happening.
00:20:45
Speaker 1: Knockdown Bill two with Metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment.
00:20:51
Speaker 2: Metro Homes. They do it all for you.
00:20:53
Speaker 3: Five double a winter Breakfast, Tom Wren and Pate Collins.
00:21:00
Speaker 4: I hope you're having a great start to your morning. It is twenty three minutes to seven o'clock on this Wednesday, the first of July. We were talking a little bit earlier about the weather and bit of wind and rain and thunder and lightning around last night, not anything totally outrageous, but Kate, you had some issues with your dog who doesn't like their thunderstorms, which is fair enough. And we had some fencing that went down last night at our place, So we'd love to hear from you. Did you experience or see anything or have seen anything on your drive to work this morning. That's a bit out of the ordinary. Eight double two to three double O double O is the number, or you can send us a text on zero double four eight zero eight thirteen ninety five.
00:21:35
Speaker 1: But that weather was absolutely nothing compared to the level of rain that we have had in the outback up in William Creek, in particular for Cardiitanda Lake Ayir, which is experiencing one of its best feels in decades, some saying it's close to record levels. Joining us now from the William Creek Hotel, Trevor Rye, how are you.
00:22:02
Speaker 12: Oh, hi guys, Yeah, not too bad. Like you said, it's one week of training in one week, it's not.
00:22:09
Speaker 1: But pretty big spectacular happening up there at the moment. Is Lake Air is filling up again.
00:22:15
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's a couple of things are coming to play with it. One is that the original water that went into the lake was all local rainfall within about two hundred kilometers of the actual lake, going down the Yak Creek system, and then we had all that water off the Georgiana system and a bit off the Diamond Tina. And it's coming in as well, because it normally takes three to four months before it comes through. It is a large amount of water coming in from Queensland in Tea at the moment. At the same time, we're now getting the rainfall every couple of weeks, which is cutting off our roads and stopping supplies and getting people's strands at times. And then it's opening up for a while. And what we think is just going to be a small range of a few normals are very much more twenty And the ground's quite saturined up here, which you never see this time of year. If you took last year, it would be just blowing dust.
00:23:09
Speaker 1: And you're, yeah, which is it's incredible and probably very welcome. I'd imagine bringing all the wildlife and the plant life back, But like you say, it is catching people out, and I suppose there's probably quite a few people trekking up there at the moment to experience this spectacular. But we heard about an incredible rescue yesterday. There was a couple that got stuck on the track there and had to be helicoptered out by a good Samaritan.
00:23:37
Speaker 12: We're pretty lucky Tim Roberts was coming through in his helicopter. I've been out all day on the track giving people in because a lot of problem with the mudin and slipping around in that. We actually found the motorbike on the track as well and able to locate the owner. But the trouble was it was on the road out to Caddie thunder Lake here and is huge rain cames. I think they were going out to have a look at it, and they came in behind them and the track itself turned into a creek and we're looking at it. By Tommy finished, there's no way we're going to get out there before dark. And there's no way you were actually going to be able to get there. It was just too wet, too soft, and too much water. Luckily it came out of his helicopter there and volunteered to go out and pick them up. They've been out there for a minute of twelve hours. And the other thing was the medical side of it. I think they needed what do you call it, pharmaceuticals in that medicine to get back into town. And the other thing is it's not a great thing sitting out in a full wheel drive overnight when it gets down, sitting down here to about seven degrees or so up to about ten being on overcast and that, and on the Stadu before that, we had a fellow more down towards my rieway goes through a big podole for water down there. I think it must have Mucky's ignition up and he ended up spending the night out there sleeping his car as well. So I think one of the big things is if you're going to come out here, do it during the day, so if something happens, a lighter out. But the other thing is out here there's not a lot of people, there's no bitchamin and when it does get wet. This is the first on the first time I've had to use a helicopter of it. There's no way we would have been able to get to him for at least another day where he was without having a chopper.
00:25:30
Speaker 4: Well, it's a pretty amazing Trevor. We're just getting some shots now on our five double a Breakfast Facebook and YouTube live stream, and it does, yeah, look like it's pretty badly bogged there the car that they were using, the eighty year old and fifty year old, So, like you say, they had been stranded for another twelve twenty four hours. You know, things are starting to become pretty uncomfortable out there. So it's a pretty massive effort from Tim Roberts to, like you say, off his own bat go out there and volunteer to rescue this father and son.
00:26:00
Speaker 12: Yeah, right, you know you had an older age group and also I think coming I believe they were both out of Melbourne. I think there's also the tension of not knowing when someone's coming. Yeah, And the only what do you call communication they had is that tech system they've now got where they use the satellite yep, and they will get able to talk to the police and that. But if you come from an urban or build up there and all of a sudden, it's all your communications basically taking away, and there's no one out there and all you can see is water in all directions it changes your attitude a bit, that's for sure, for sure.
00:26:35
Speaker 1: And you know, look, I suppose you know when people head out that way, they're expecting that they need to be prepared. They're expecting conditions to be a little rough. But from what you're seeing this year, Trevor, are the conditions just so much worse than normal?
00:26:47
Speaker 11: Like?
00:26:47
Speaker 1: What do people need to know of their planning on heading out?
00:26:51
Speaker 6: Look?
00:26:52
Speaker 12: I think there's two or three things.
00:26:53
Speaker 6: I think.
00:26:55
Speaker 12: The first thing is travel during daylight hours, let someone know what you're doing. Make sure your phone can take satellite text, which is free, and if you need to get in touch with the responsible person, you can. And look, it's great and the environment out here is fantastic. You're going to have a great look.
00:27:14
Speaker 11: At the lake.
00:27:15
Speaker 12: There's a lot of water. The vegetation is going through the roof and that and the other things. From a government point of view, if they've got a couple of road crews and work on the data trackers, that's where people have to go to come up to view the lake. But they've got them so they can swap them over when they've got days off and that type of thing. Because early in the peace with the situation they're on and the fuel situation and the uncertainty of the people weren't traveling that much. But no, I think they're feeling a lot more comfortable and coming up here, but they're not expecting the what do you call it the rain, how slippy it can get, maps off that can get. But we can get the government on board and with the road crews and that should do a fantastic job. I think that'll make a huge difference start. And also the fact that if you have to get put it out where you have to go up with the RF yes, and that there's not a lot of places you can land when it does get with there's very few bitturing the airports out here and having a helicopter up here was a bit like winning a lotto at the time you come through.
00:28:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, very lucky set of events that come to be there at the time, and you know by the sounds that you'll be expecting a whole lot more people. So there is the potential for a lot more of these rescues to be needed. So you make a very good point there, Trevor.
00:28:37
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think it's important. The other thing that's coming into its stone is this portable star links. It seemed to be working a lot bitter in the satellite and that and the other thing you can get off that is video communications as well, so if you are to start send the picture back of what actually is going on and what the need is, what you need to do to get people out type of situation. So, yeah, look, I think it's unusually. I think we've we've retrieved about the last month thirty people or around thirty people. Wow, So it is a fair number of people, and I think it's definitely worth the effort to come up. But just be careful how you do it and think about the big picture.
00:29:25
Speaker 11: It's great as do if you get to that.
00:29:27
Speaker 4: Yeah, great advice. And look a beautiful part of the world when there is that level of rain. I think it's about seven hundred and fifty kilometers from where we are right now, but just the vegetation and we can see it on the Facebook and YouTube live stream. It's just amazing. But like you say, just be prepared if you're going to make the effort to make it up there. Trevor, thank you so much for sharing the story and hopefully you get a few more people rolling through and enjoying what that beautiful region has to offer.
00:29:51
Speaker 13: Good thanks guys, Thanks great stuff.
00:29:53
Speaker 4: Trevor right there, Apublican at William Creek.
00:29:57
Speaker 1: I reckon the levels up there at the moment to get close to the nineteen seventy nine flood, I believe. So that's quite you know, we haven't seen.
00:30:06
Speaker 4: Water levels fifty years.
00:30:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, really long time. So I think probably a lot more people will consider heading up if that's something that you want to experience for yourself. Beautiful South Australian Now back, Yeah.
00:30:17
Speaker 4: Like you said, though, just make sure you're prepared absolutely, and do you travel during the day. Speaking of the weather, let's head out to the bureau now. Tom Anderson is on the line and he's going to give us a bit of a forecast. Tom, good morning to you.
00:30:30
Speaker 6: Good morning.
00:30:30
Speaker 4: How are things looking for us for the next twenty four hours or so.
00:30:38
Speaker 13: Yeah, we've already seen a decent dumping for the city, especially about the southern suburbs, so Glen Elg, Marian Brighton Way. We've seen double digit figures in the last twelve hours, mostly from those storms that we had this morning. Being on got woken up by that. I think came through about two or three morning, we're going to see a bit more of that. So we just got sort of showery activity poss thunderstorms about during the day. If you get a thunderstorm overhead, you might get five or ten mil pretty quickly. Otherwise it's just going to be relatively windy, a warm northerly wind. So we're already up to fifteen degrees in the city looking at top of sixteen degrees today, but it would be sort of that showery on and off windy day today and then coming into tomorrow expecting pretty similar conditions again, the winds will start turning more westerly though, so it'll cool down a bit. Looking for a top of fifteen tomorrow, so similar, but it might cool off a bit quicker and we'll get more sort of rain than showery activity tomorrow.
00:31:38
Speaker 1: Those storms overnight, because yeah, I was up all night when it hit with my dog going crazy. How much lightning did we get.
00:31:46
Speaker 13: We had a fair bit, so I don't know exactly how to quantify, but it basically covered an area, or we had lightning overhead of an area basically from the city center all lay down to Hallett Cove.
00:32:01
Speaker 4: Okay, so it sounds like for the next couple of days you're going to need the brolly definitely, and then starting to fine up after that. Tom, So we'll make sure that we packed the wet weather gear for the next two days. Yeah, that's right, great stuff, All right, Tommy. We'll have a great day and we'll chat with you again soon to Thanks Tom. Tom anders in there from the Bureau of Meteorology. Time to head across to South Australian Police Rebecca Stokes is on the line. Rebecca, good morning to you. Unfortunately a driver has died after a crash at Brinkley that happened on Monday.
00:32:33
Speaker 14: Yes, that's true. Just after six thirty am on Monday place An emergency services were called to a single vehicle crash on Brinkley Wrote at Brinkley involving a twitter ut. The driver, who was the sole occupant of the car a forty year old man from Lake's Plains. He was taken a hospital in a critical condition, but sadly we've been informed that he died from his injuries last night. A major crash investigators attended this crash on Monday morning to try to determine the circumstances surrounding the crash. Their investigations are continuing. We are appealing for anyone who witnesses incident or perhaps has dash cam footage that may assist the investigation. They can contact us via crime Stoppers. And the man's death is the fifty eighth life lost on South Australian roads so far this year, and we are just pleading with drivers to please drive to the conditions.
00:33:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've had a really bad, horrible week on our roads, Rebecca. A truck has collided with a tree at stoney Fell overnight as well.
00:33:26
Speaker 14: Yes, he seven just for six pm last night we were called Penfold Road at stony Fall after reports the truck carrying a container collided with a tree. Fortunately the truck driver, who's a fifty five year old man from larks North, and his passenger managed to escape injury. A Penfold Road was closed for several hours. They were thinking that they would need to bring in a crane to try to remove this huge tree from the truck. Fortunately they were able to tow that truck away last night and the scene has cleared so Penfold Road has reopened for traffic this morning and investigations into that crasher also ongoing. But yeah, again we're just pleading with people to drive to the conditions. As we've just heard, there's going to be more water across the roads, more wet weather in coming days, so please slow down, drive to the conditions. Turn your lights on. The amount of cars that we see that are basically the same color as the road driving around without their lights on in wet and dark conditions, please tenure lights on, remember to turn them off when you get there. Slow down, give yourself room to stop and be prepared. There may be traffic banked up in front of you, or perhaps a fallen tree or limb blocking the road, so you never know what's ahead. So yeah, really slow down and concentrate on the drive.
00:34:34
Speaker 4: Such important advice and something that all people should heed. Thanks so much for that, Rebecca. We'll chat to you again soon.
00:34:41
Speaker 14: Thank you.
00:34:42
Speaker 4: Send you Constable Rebecca Stokes.
00:34:43
Speaker 1: There knockdown build two with metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment.
00:34:52
Speaker 2: Metro homes they do it all for you.
00:34:54
Speaker 3: Five double a winter breakfast, Tom Wren and Kate Collins.
00:35:00
Speaker 4: Seven minutes to seven o'clock here on five double a breakfast cake.
00:35:03
Speaker 1: Oh a little bit croaky there, Tom RN this morning, got to clear your throat. Yes, July one, a new financial year. We have officially clicked over this morning, and that means that there's a bunch of changes coming into effect, including the rise in the minimum wage, which I believe has hit more than one thousand dollars a week for our lowest paid workers for the first time, but lots of other changes coming into effects. So we're going to break these all down. Joining us on the phone, we have SDASA Secretary Josh Peak. Good morning to you, Josh.
00:35:39
Speaker 15: Get Tom Happy new financial year.
00:35:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, happy new financial year to you too. This must be welcome news.
00:35:44
Speaker 6: You know.
00:35:44
Speaker 1: The minimum wage increase for our lowest paid workers.
00:35:48
Speaker 16: Yeah, look really significant, asked increase to the minimum wage, which there are some workers in. But even more significant is the four point seven five percent increase to award wages and linked EBAs which impact millions of Australian workers. A couple hundred thousand, couple hundred thousand South Australians we'll get a pay rise in their next pay packet thanks.
00:36:10
Speaker 17: To that rise.
00:36:11
Speaker 9: And it's been a.
00:36:12
Speaker 16: Pretty toss year on the cost of living with petrol prices and what's been going on overseas, and it's really needed for our lord, our last paid workers. It's been a tough, tough years, so it's good to see that finally coming into effect today.
00:36:26
Speaker 4: Josh, Does it go far enough as far as you're concerned. Is it going to help those people with those cost of living pressures?
00:36:33
Speaker 16: Look, it is significant. It does mean that wage increase is above inflation.
00:36:37
Speaker 12: And what we're continuing to call for is.
00:36:39
Speaker 16: Waging creaks that lift the buying power and the real wages of low paid workers.
00:36:46
Speaker 4: And in terms of other changes for the new financial year, I didn't even know this was the case at some places, but I think organizations now are going to be forced to give super on the payday and pay it to their employees. I didn't realize that that wasn't happening in some instances. It's gone. No, we might have just lost Josh there. We'll try and get him back. But yeah, the new financial year today, so an increase for minimum wages Kate, which I think is a welcome thing for a lot of people. And we know all people have been doing it tougher, particularly those on low wages. It's really hard.
00:37:23
Speaker 1: It is it's a start and you know people are working, you know, particularly young people as well. You know we're talking about you know, people entering the job market, you know, young traders and people that aren't necessarily you.
00:37:35
Speaker 4: Know, flush with cash, lush with cash.
00:37:37
Speaker 1: And you know every little bit counts and you know by the sounds of it, Josh you know, was saying this is a significant lift, which is you know, really encouraging.
00:37:46
Speaker 11: Yeah.
00:37:46
Speaker 1: The payday super thing though, is interesting, isn't it just thinking that you know, assuming you're getting what you're owed by your business or you know whatever, every pay but they will now be forced to pay super in on with your pay as a post to at a different time or you know delayed or longer installments. So that is interesting. But I guess you know, it's good to know what you've got when you've earned it. Yeah, it's going in there with regular top ups rather than you know, at different increments.
00:38:15
Speaker 4: So another thing we've been speaking about on five double a Breakfast this week is the fuel excise and that has come down overnight. Sally from Hillcrest has given us a call. Sally, good morning to.
00:38:25
Speaker 5: You, Good morning, How are you, Tom and Kate?
00:38:28
Speaker 4: Good thank you.
00:38:28
Speaker 1: Hey, we're good, thank you? How are you?
00:38:31
Speaker 18: Yeah?
00:38:31
Speaker 6: Good?
00:38:32
Speaker 18: So one of our local surveys yesterday was a dollar fifty two today he's a dollar sixty two already.
00:38:41
Speaker 1: Okay, Yes, So we've you know, we've had that fuel excise cut from thirty two cents off regular prices down to sixteen. They were sort of warning, you know, motoring bodies, we're warning fuel you know, stations not to be adding on unnecessarily, not raising prices unnecessarily for drivers. We have been experiencing, though, sally, quite a few you know, really low prices essentially for fuel that we haven't seen in quite some time.
00:39:08
Speaker 19: So we have we've been lucky.
00:39:10
Speaker 1: We have been lucky. So a ten cent jumped there straight away, is that what you're saying?
00:39:14
Speaker 6: Yeah?
00:39:15
Speaker 5: Ten cents in one day, in one day, and it's just yeah, that's overkilled because they wouldn't have even got their new fuel yet at the higher price.
00:39:24
Speaker 4: And I think it's probably something we're going to see a fee bit more of, unfortunately. But like you say, kay, compared to what we saw, goodness a few months ago, two dollars sort of fifty yu again.
00:39:33
Speaker 1: Dollars fifty which year is wid now when prices were down around a dollar forty four, I think we were seeing yesterday, so quite a few drivers filling up yesterday, you know, lining up at the service stations to fill up their takes before those changes come in. But look, unfortunately, I think we probably will be seeing a few stations take advantage and you know, knock that price up a little bit more than it perhaps needs to be.
00:39:53
Speaker 6: Yeah.
00:39:53
Speaker 4: Absolutely. Now we've just been talking to South Australian Police this morning as well. Unfortunately, fifty eight fatalities on our roads this year, which is well up on where it was last year, and far too many. Unfortunately, we've had a lot of road crashes. It's been a terrible week on our roads. Someone who does a lot of work trying to help road safety does a brilliant job is the chair of these running Road Safety Safety Foundation Russell. Good morning to you. It has not been a good few days here in South Australia, no, Tom.
00:40:22
Speaker 20: And as you and I have spoken about many times in the past, my friend, it's a problem that we're really we're really trying to guess, scrapple and struggle with as a society about where we go as far as road trauma's concerned, because it sadly not not just in that part of the world, mate, but right across the nation, we're really seeing some really troubling trends in terms of road trauma increases, and I guess really a changing in the culture. I think people, I think universally everybody says that road safety is important, but it's trying to get every individual to think about what they can do to try and reduce that level of road trauma because the tragedy, that level of tragedy is just be something that's unacceptable.
00:41:01
Speaker 4: I know you do so much. You've got Fatality Free Friday, which is a huge campaign you do, and you know you have other measures that you try and implement. But why is it do you think that we continue to have these issues? Is it just the density of traffic or irresponsible behavior? What are you finding in some of the key factors that are attributing to this, Russell.
00:41:21
Speaker 20: I think it's those classic things we know about, you know, it's distraction and not wearing, the sup belting and the fatal five that police talk about. But underneath that, I think there's been a cultural shift since since twenty twenty because we've seen year on year increase in road trauma in this country since then, where I just think there's other things at play. I think people's level of tolerance, people's level of I guess compliance to road rules, or really basic things like that, basic courtesy, and these are things that necessarily we might not be able to fix with changes in road rules. It's a cultural thing and it probably leads to know even some of the other stuff you've been covering sort of the leading it's it's people's views on how we fit in the world and how we should work with other people, our sense of community, sense of personal responsibility. I think there's an undercurrent of that where we've just become as a as a nation. I think people have become more individualistic, We've become less compliant with things, and I think there's a cultural shift that we're going to need to start training or looking at much earlier. And I'm talking way back to the start of school. But some of these basic basic values, basic principles, so I think are also end up in the road safety mix. And that's something, as I said, you're not going to fix just with just with safer roads or safer cars or more enforcement and Russell.
00:42:44
Speaker 1: I know this is you know, seems very trivial, but we've just had another death on our roads overnight from a crash on Monday. We just heard about that as well through Saphole. But the weather, it seems to be this ongoing thing where particularly South Australian drivers, as soon as there's a weather of they just don't know how to drive anymore. And we seem to see this concentration of bad crashes that happen when it's raining or really windy or stormy or foggy. Is that are you seeing that as a factor and why people just aren't heating the warnings about driving to conditions.
00:43:17
Speaker 20: It's a great question, Kate, and I think you're right. The weather. The weather, what that basically does. It reveals the true driving standard, because in the dry people get away with accelerating out of a corner just a little bit early, or leaving a breaking point a little bit later, or not looking far enough ahead. They kind of get away with it. In the dry. The moment you add the weather, the wet conditions, so roads a bit slippery, are breaking distance longer, tractions available is less, Visibility is less. It reveals the true standard of driving performance because the wet weather adds other variables as far as grip and visibility. So what happens when the rain comes is that people still don't adapt to that behavior. They drive normally, or they drive as they would every day, but the weather conditions and the grip level don't allow for that. So that's why we see this spike when it comes to especially in those first conditions of rain and it hasn't rained for a while, then that's when that can sort of surface. So as I said, basically, the wet weather simply just reveals the true standard. And also I think quite frankly that the inadequacies that we have in terms of driver training for those next level skills situational awareness and of which weather falls or dealing with weather falls into that category too.
00:44:30
Speaker 4: Well, Russell, keep up the good fight. It's one that needs to keep happening. We know how much work you do, so really appreciate your time this morning. Let's hope that things can turn around for us on the roads.
00:44:39
Speaker 20: We'll keep pushing for a time, that's for sure, mate, and thanks thanks for your support to you guys. So it's important we keep talking about it because it's a national problem. It's it's something that we have to start looking at and we've got to try and fix it.
00:44:50
Speaker 1: Beauty absolutely right, Thanks so much, Just a White, chair of the Australian Road Safety Foundation, Thanks so much for your time. Look as a message that you know, we've worked in news for years and years and years and you just have to keep re iterating it every year. People like Russell reiterate it. But you know, it's just devastating when you're seeing these spikes in you know, the road trauma and deaths on our roads and just have to, like you say, keep fighting the good fight, keep putting the word out there and keep trying to push for improving driver training and awareness on how to be safe on the roads. Knockdown build two with metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment.
00:45:28
Speaker 2: Metro homes. They do it all for you.
00:45:30
Speaker 3: Five Double A Winter Breakfast, Tom Wren and Kate Collins.
00:45:36
Speaker 4: Day, We've got plenty coming up in the next hour. Here on five Double A Breakfast. We're about to head over to the US. The World Cup is happening and we know the soccer rules are preparing for a huge game and that's going to be on Saturday morning, our time against Egypt. There's been so much excitement about that.
00:45:52
Speaker 1: Nice and early two three thirty, Oh my.
00:45:53
Speaker 4: Goodness, tough time. Do you stay up all night or do you wake up?
00:45:56
Speaker 1: Well, that's the debate, isn't it. Do you pull an all nighter going on? You go to bed early? I think I'm the go to bed early and wake up?
00:46:04
Speaker 11: Okay? Do that?
00:46:05
Speaker 4: We'll see how.
00:46:05
Speaker 1: I don't know last time I pulled it all night. I can't even remember.
00:46:09
Speaker 4: Drive July will talk about that this hour as well. We'll go around the courts with Advertiser Chief court reporter Sean Fuster, and will also catch up with port Adelaide FC chairman and Compare the Market economic director David Kosh, who is definitely feeling pretty cocker hoop after that brilliant showdown win. But Kate I touched on the World Cup and there's a match happening right now between France and Sweden, and there's so much excitement about the soccer Ruse they're going to be playing in just a few days time, and we've seen so much color and excitement from fans all over the world, particularly the Scottish in Boston, the Tartan Army going to Boston Red Sox games and just turning Fenway Park into this sea of Scottish you know, fanfare and color. And we're hoping to see similar scenes with the soccer use fans and the Texas Rangers. Yeah.
00:46:55
Speaker 1: Absolutely, the US are really sort of opening, you know, rolling out the welcome matt and really embracing all of the soccer fans that are there for the World Cup and one team that is definitely getting around the Ossis and calling on all OSSI's in fact in Dallas to come and experience some of the you know, American sport available being the you know heading to the ballpark. I mean that's a great tradition to head to the ballpark and check out a game baseball season of course. Joining us now on the phone from the Texas Rangers, we have the senior vice president marketing, senior vice president Travis Dylan on the phone. Good morning to you, Travis.
00:47:37
Speaker 11: Hi, how are y'all doing?
00:47:38
Speaker 1: We're really great. How are you embracing all things World Cup and getting around the Ossie fans.
00:47:45
Speaker 11: We are. We couldn't be more excited.
00:47:48
Speaker 21: I was rooting very hard for the Aussies last week to get to get to Dallas and play play here this week, so.
00:48:00
Speaker 11: We couldn't we couldn't be more excited about it.
00:48:04
Speaker 4: Which is great. So it's fantastic that they're feeling so welcome. And I think you're doing things like offering discounted tickets to try and get as many soccer rus fans to some of your games that the Texas Ranges are playing, so you get that real Aussie flavor at some of the ball games there.
00:48:20
Speaker 21: Yeah, we we've blocked off some tickets.
00:48:24
Speaker 22: We've been in contact with some of the supporter groups, the soccer rooms and different groups that we've blocked off some tickets Thursday.
00:48:34
Speaker 21: Night that they want to come other nights and we'd love to have them as well, But Thursday night we've got a section blocked off for the Aussie fans and we've been circulating a link to buy those tickets so they can all sit together. And Yeah, we're getting some yellow rally towels made if they come to the ballpark. We'll have instructions for them on how to kick those up and it'll have arranger's logo and some information on one side.
00:49:02
Speaker 11: And then the Aussie flag on.
00:49:05
Speaker 22: The other with a welcome SOCCERUS message on it, so something that they can wave and and celebrate with and then take home with them as a reminder of their experience at the ballpark.
00:49:16
Speaker 1: It's amazing how you know, all the different groups, as you say, and all the fans are celebrating. We've seen the Scottish, you know, bring their traditions and popping traffic cones on all sorts of things and signs and around the place. It's all very firstive, What do you love about the Aussie fans so much? What do we do well?
00:49:33
Speaker 21: I mean, the the energy, just the joy that your fans bring. We hope to see plenty of shoeies if fans.
00:49:44
Speaker 11: Get on the on the video board.
00:49:47
Speaker 21: We love I just love this the you know, the traditions that you guys have that obviously the chants and the songs and everything that that makes the fan base so much fun. And so yeah, we we were fortunate enough as a team to play in Boston when the Tartan Army he was there. We actually played in Miami when they were there, so we played two games in front of them and won both of them, and our players in both instances just remarked, you know, just the energy and just the flavor that was in the ballpark those nights, and so, like I said, I was, I was rooting really hard for you guys, you know.
00:50:29
Speaker 11: I guess I think it was on Friday.
00:50:30
Speaker 21: Night when y'all were when y'all were playing to get here, because we knew that the Aussie fans would bring the same energy in the ballpark.
00:50:38
Speaker 4: And you guys are flying at the moment too, which is great to say. I think you won five in a row. You're leading the AO West at the moment. It's a really tight conference. But things are looking pretty good right now, which is fantastic. But I just wanted to ask you more generally as well, Travis, just in terms of the fan FA American sports fans are so passionate. We know that, and they're great. That's what they teamed. But what's it been luck and has it been received nie and wide? Having these influxive cultures from all live of the world coming over.
00:51:08
Speaker 11: Man, It's it's been so much fun.
00:51:11
Speaker 21: You know, we have our traditions and sports and the way that our fans cheer, whether it's baseball or football, basketball, hockey, every sport kind of has its own fan culture, and you know, to see the soccer culture.
00:51:25
Speaker 11: You know, we have professional soccer.
00:51:26
Speaker 21: Here and the fans do a great job embracing the sport, but there's nothing like the energy that comes with something like the World Cup and and so we you know, I think a lot of our fans have been inspired. You know, you've seen as these different fan groups. The Norwegian just played here today and brought all of their traditions with the you know, the massive road you know that they do, and seeing that takeover bars across the city over the last few days, and then the stadium today and just seeing these things that think you know, for us on the team side as well as our fans, I would I'd be lying if I didn't say that we were inspired by that energy. And you know, looking at what are ways that are authentic to our game experience that we can tap that same type of kind of collective energy that soccer fans bring.
00:52:22
Speaker 11: There's just there's it's unlike any other.
00:52:25
Speaker 21: Sport in the fact that you see everyone is just so unified and on the same page. And whether it's chance or songs or cheers or whatever it is, it's just a really communal and you know engaging and unifying vibe that comes out of these these games.
00:52:43
Speaker 1: Well, it'll be fantastic for the Aussies to get down and experience some of that famous textan hospitality that you guys do so well. And I'll just have to warn you though, if you get all the Aussies down there, you might have to top up the beer supplies, if for all those shoeies that they might be doing in the game.
00:52:58
Speaker 4: But what an experience already.
00:53:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, what a time to be in the US for the World Cup. Texas Rangers Marketing Senior vice President Travis Dill and thank you so much for your time and enjoy the rest of the World Cup celebrations there in Dallas.
00:53:14
Speaker 11: Yeah, thank you all for having me.
00:53:16
Speaker 21: And yeah, we couldn't be more excited to have hopefully an Aussie take over this weekend.
00:53:23
Speaker 11: We'd love it, we hope.
00:53:24
Speaker 1: So we can't wait to see the pictures.
00:53:25
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's going to be great, isn't it a big game? And of course at three point thirty our time on Saturday.
00:53:30
Speaker 1: Mislutely and fantastic and that you know, a day at the ballpark. I remember I went when I was in New York and you know all the traditions around that, you know, the songs and the chanting as well, and the hot dogs and the beer. It's you know, it's such as experience as well. So you know, Ozsie fans cannot just have the soccer that they can experience everything exactly, which is fantastic of the Texas Rangers inviting the Aussies down there.
00:53:54
Speaker 4: Cool and you get some new experiences and you're going to a different sport. It's a great thing to do while you're in the town preparing for the big game, which of course is on Saturday morning. Like I said, against Egypt. At three point thirty, speaking of the World Cup, France has just scored against Sweden, so it is one nil at the moment in that game.
00:54:14
Speaker 1: Knockdown build two with metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment.
00:54:20
Speaker 2: Metro Homes, they do it all for you.
00:54:22
Speaker 3: Five Double A Winter Breakfast. Tom Wren and Hate Collins.
00:54:33
Speaker 4: Welcome back to five Double A Breakfast. It is twenty one minutes past seven o'clock. Just remember you can tune in on the live stream. That's the five Double A Facebook and YouTube live stream. Step up to end homelessness, walk a mile in my boots, register or donate today Walkermile dot org dot au. Do that sounds like good fun, doesn't it? Being in Texas this week for the World Cup.
00:54:52
Speaker 1: To be fun? Yeah, and you know the Texans do hospitality so well, you know, so be you know, very welcoming of you know, space to be and then just enjoy those festivals.
00:55:02
Speaker 4: Now, Kate, we've been talking a little bit this morning about the new financial year and some of the changes that are coming into effect from a financial point of view. But as we know, July one also marks the start of Dry July for a lot of people.
00:55:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a huge movement and you know, I guess an opportunity to step back and you know, examine your relationship with alcohol or something that you're going to give up as well, and all for a good cause. And joining us on the phone now we have a Jillian Obert Ober I don't know how to say that. Probably, Jillian, you might have to tell me how to pronounce your last name. Interim CEO of Dry July, Australia. Good morning to you, Jillian.
00:55:42
Speaker 19: Good morning and a happy dry July and a Jillian Odd but but are happy to go buy anything.
00:55:46
Speaker 1: I love you got a French twist there that quite exotic.
00:55:51
Speaker 21: Thank you.
00:55:52
Speaker 4: They're playing in the World Cup, so I think it might have been that game feeling.
00:55:55
Speaker 3: It that's great?
00:55:57
Speaker 1: Yes, so dry July. Tell us what this means for so many people taking it up?
00:56:02
Speaker 19: Certainly. So we started in two thousand and eight and it's a challenge to really to call out to Australians to give up alcohol for thirty one days in July, which is great for their health and well being and productivity and more energy. But most importantly it is about raising funds for people affected by cancer. And since two thousand and eight we've been able to raise over one hundred million, which is extraordinary. But with so many people still being diagnosed with cancer, you know, we know that one in two people will be diagnosed, you know, by age eighty five. It's a really big call out for a continued need for cancer support.
00:56:36
Speaker 4: That's a huge number of dollars that you've been raising, which is outstanding, and a lot of people taking part. Just how many do you expect will take part this year? Jillion?
00:56:44
Speaker 19: Oh, look at the moment where you know we're getting close to twenty thousand. They sign up all throughout July. You know, people can join us at any time, so we're just really grateful for everyone who comes on board and it helps us to raise those vital funds.
00:56:57
Speaker 1: And you've had You've got a couple of ambassadors this year that have got some pretty boozy last names. Can you tell us about what they're doing giving up their last names for Drive Delay.
00:57:08
Speaker 19: Yeah, we're very excited to have Tang and Craig join us this year, and you know, they're very passionate about the cause, and so they've very been very kind to give up those boozy surnames for the month, but also they encouraging everyone to join their team and the raise funds with them. So it's a bit of fun, but you know, obviously it's for something. It's a really serious cause. It's close to so many of our hearts.
00:57:30
Speaker 1: Yes, this is Tanya Hennessy and Craig Foster, so of course you know they've got a couple of you know, famous Yes, absolutely so giving those up. I wonder how many you are out there. I mean we probably think of dozens. You know, if you're participating, you might want to change your last name and try to lay as well. There you go, and it is such an important it is important cause.
00:57:50
Speaker 4: And Julian, like you say, just some of the health benefits as well for people. I mean a lot of people enjoy drink and that's absolutely fine, but in terms of the health benefits, for those that give it up for a month, they can find that it really is something that they can perhaps sustain longer term as well or cut back a little bit with how much they're drinking.
00:58:09
Speaker 19: Absolutely, we have lots of it has been to get in contact to let us know. You know, those health benefits are better sleep, more energy, you know, all of those things. Having a bit of money even helps these days, as we know, are things that they continue well beyond July. So that's you know, I think one of the wonderful things about this sort of drive Gily movement is thirty one days is great for that habit forming and it's something then you can continue on well pass July.
00:58:31
Speaker 1: And we're finding a lot of you know, particularly younger people as well, deciding not to drink on a really regular basis. Anyway, are you finding that that's affecting or is it sort of changing the way that you do Drivejula at all. You know, you want people to participate raise money, but they might not be drinkers anyway. Is there other ways that they can give up something for drive Dely?
00:58:52
Speaker 23: Yeah.
00:58:53
Speaker 19: Absolutely. So if we do have people getting contact to say that they might not be drink as much, they might be not kind, might not be such the challenge it used to be, we always say to that you can give up something else. So you know, all of this is, you know, we are trying to raise funds for people who are doing it are tough. It's a really hard time to go through a cancer experience, and so maybe give up something that's a little bit more challenging for you. You know, for me, sometimes I give up coffee because that's always hard when I need it first thing in the morning. It might be that sweet. So that can be about anything. So you can give up something that you know, bit challenging that helps you raise fun for people affected by cancer and Jillian.
00:59:27
Speaker 4: For those that want to get involved, how can they best do it? What's the easiest way.
00:59:31
Speaker 19: It's very easy to come to drive July dot com. All you have to do is register and then just go out to their family and friends and you know, ask for their support through donations and we find a lot of people really enjoy doing it as teams, so you know, family, friends, workplaces. Just to be able to do it as that sort of community is a really great way to have a bit of fun but also raise a bit more money.
00:59:53
Speaker 4: Jillian, thank you so much for your time and good luck with the rest of the month. I'm sure it's going to be a big one.
00:59:58
Speaker 19: Thanks very much, greatly appreciate it.
01:00:00
Speaker 4: Fantastic. Jillian Odbert there the interim CEO of Dry July here in Australia, and why don't you say something like one hundred million dollars they've raised since two thousand and eight. That's an extraordinary amount of money.
01:00:10
Speaker 1: Huge campaign. It's been incredible over the years and you know, yeah again you can give up anything which is fantastic and raise those vital funds.
01:00:17
Speaker 4: We've been talking fuel prices this morning as well, because the fuel excise has been cut in half and that came into effect literally overnight. Kate, we've discussed that this week.
01:00:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're getting a lot of texts through on the text line zero double four eight zero eight thirteen ninety five, and you know, a lot of people were saying, yeah, they're seeing last night we had Mark in Hewitt's say, are filled up at a dollar forty five last night. This morning it's one sixty one point nine, just jumping up everywhere at the moment. But that is because that fuel excise was cut by the thirteen cents or sixteen cents, sorry, sixteen cents, so it's been added back on after the relief from the government there and seeing those prices jump up, but also you know, unfortunately Runny, probably a few extra cents added on there by a few serve stations as well, because we have been experiencing some really low low fuel prices at the moment in the mid one forties forties. Yeah, we haven't seen that for quite some time. Joining us on the phone though, we have Peter Natras from RAA, Good morning, Peter.
01:01:14
Speaker 6: Good morning Peter.
01:01:15
Speaker 4: In terms of shopping around and fuel prices, can we expect those I guess hips to be passed on pretty much immediately? We've had some calls about it already that prices are in this sort of dollar sixty range. Is that something we can expect to happen quite swiftly?
01:01:31
Speaker 24: We saw a small increase to the wholesale price that retailers are buying, which is an in advance of this excise coming back in. So we've just seen overnight and average increase to the average price of petrol in Metro Adelaide of around six cents a later, so it's still, you know, averaging a dollar fifty five, and we're seeing diesel as increased by about five cents, so average of a dollar seventy nine. So there certainly is some we'd say, some well priced fuel out there at the moment. We are expecting over the next week or so, not immediately for the excise to be passed through, So we would expect retailers to be good to their customers and make sure they pass on the savings that are already in their tanks.
01:02:17
Speaker 1: So, Peter, what you're saying is, if you're driving around looking for fuel today and you're expecting the prices to have gone up a little bit from yesterday, we shouldn't be seeing it jump that sixteen cents immediately.
01:02:28
Speaker 24: Absolutely, we'd be saying, and also saying to motorists make sure that you use your fuel lapse to your advantage today and support the retailers that are supporting you with passing through the savings that they've already you know, they've got to give.
01:02:42
Speaker 4: And Peter just I guess longer term, what's the sort of forecast for fuel prices. Perhaps hard to crystal ball, but they've been so low for a few weeks now, which has been great news and welcome relief after they got to that sort of two fifty range not that long ago.
01:02:57
Speaker 24: So we would say that we see this fuel excise increase from over the next week or so, which has the potential to add that sixteen cents back in, and then from the second of August there's another sixteen cents of excise to get back to the full level that the government has stated they'll do. So we see that fuel price over the next week or so, you know, and as you correctly identified, is at that level that is pre the current fuel situation. So good prices as we head towards the back end of the year, though, because there's this continuing conflict in the Middle East that you know, we would expect prices to be just moderately higher than where they are now.
01:03:40
Speaker 4: So good time to probably fill up now if you haven't already done. So Pete app thank you so much for jumping on. Five double a breakfast for us this morning.
01:03:48
Speaker 12: Absolutely, have a good day, great stuff.
01:03:50
Speaker 4: Peter Maatris there who is from the RAI.
01:03:56
Speaker 1: Knockdown field two with metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment.
01:04:02
Speaker 2: Metro homes. They do it all for you.
01:04:04
Speaker 3: Five double A Winter Breakfast. Tom Wren and Kate Collins.
01:04:08
Speaker 4: It is winter breakfast. We're definitely feeling it. Thirteen minutes to eight o'clock. It's quite mild. The temperature is reasonably pleasant in terms of degrees, but we're getting a fair bit of wind and rain and Kate, we've spoken about that and we can see it's a fairly overcast and dark and dreary start today. So we look across imas square. But rainfall we've had a fair bit of it so far this year.
01:04:28
Speaker 11: We have.
01:04:29
Speaker 1: We've had Ben text in from Glenelgeest. On the text line, he says on the rain the city had two hundred and ninety three millimeters for the first half of twenty twenty six. That's twenty percent above the average of two hundred and forty six and the same amount twenty twenty four and twenty twenty five had combined to the thirtieth of June, so a lot of rain, a lot of rain about today. We've got another big band of rain coming through we can see on the satellite picture shortly as well as we're about to get hit. I wonder how much we're going to get today.
01:05:01
Speaker 4: Well that's a really good point, Kate, and a big thanks to Ben Jordan, who we love his input. He loves all the stats. C Ander is our resident statistician here on five Double A and does a brilliant job. We've got a Beer and Barbecue Festival double pass to give away. Let's play a little game, Kate and c who is going to get the closest.

We've got tickets to five Double A's Ultimate Friday Knockoffs and that is on Friday, the tenth of July, including tickets for you and a mate to our VIP area, plus beers and delicious barbecue food. We're asking the question this morning, Kate, how much rain are we going to get from midnight? That was this morning, So now we've already had five millimeters of rain, so we want to know how much are we going to get through total? In total until midnight tonight, So what's that sixteen hours and a little bit. Sixteen hours and twelve minutes from now, We've already had five millimeters, so it's going to be at least.
01:06:04
Speaker 1: That and we would certainly do have the rain coming through in the next half an hour. It's looking quite dark off the coast according to a few folks texting in on the text line as well, so we could be getting a bit.
01:06:16
Speaker 4: So give us a call right now eight double two to three double o double oh nearest the pin. How much rain are we going to get? And Emily's going to be our judge on this. So this is measured by the bureau. I think it's West Terrace where they take their gauge, so it's in the city. It's not going to be regional. It's going to be here in the city.
01:06:33
Speaker 1: Here in the city. We'll go with the city gauges, of course. I think that's a good one.
01:06:38
Speaker 4: So let's get it going. Let's go to Kathy, who wants to kick us off.
01:06:41
Speaker 7: Good morning, Kathy, good are you talking about in the city range?
01:06:45
Speaker 4: Yes, in the city range.
01:06:46
Speaker 10: Yeah.
01:06:46
Speaker 4: Correct. So we've had five meals already and it goes for another sixteen hours up until midnight. What do you think I let's go eleven eleven meals?
01:06:56
Speaker 1: Meals? Okay, eleven meals for Kathy.
01:06:59
Speaker 4: We'll go with it in what point one of a millimeter?
01:07:01
Speaker 11: Will?
01:07:01
Speaker 4: Okay, so you go eleven even that's good. We'll keep it going. Hello, rhtt you want to join in?
01:07:06
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll go about eleven point eighteen.
01:07:09
Speaker 4: Eleven point eight. Great stuff. Thanks for that, Rahtt. So we've got eleven and eleven point eight.
01:07:14
Speaker 1: Linda is on the line. How much rain are we going to get? Linda?
01:07:17
Speaker 17: Oh, good morning.
01:07:17
Speaker 4: I reckon about eighteen eighteen, so that'd be at the higher end.
01:07:21
Speaker 1: It would be at the higher end.
01:07:23
Speaker 11: I like it.
01:07:23
Speaker 1: Joe from Seaton, good morning, Good morning.
01:07:27
Speaker 15: I reckon about fifteen fifteen point five.
01:07:31
Speaker 4: Fifteen point five. Okay, we're writing all these down. This is great.
01:07:34
Speaker 1: Angelo, Good morning Angelo. How much rain are we going to get today?
01:07:38
Speaker 6: Seventeen point eight?
01:07:40
Speaker 4: They confidence?
01:07:41
Speaker 1: I think that was very confident delivering. Ben from Hawthorne, good morning.
01:07:46
Speaker 12: Yeah, good morning.
01:07:46
Speaker 15: It's just started on my windshield. I think fourteen point seven.
01:07:52
Speaker 4: Okay, fourteen point seven, good work. Let's go to Ingle Farm.
01:07:55
Speaker 15: Hello Graham, good morning guys.
01:07:57
Speaker 6: A great show. Twenty one twenty one.
01:08:01
Speaker 1: That is in the upper range. There we go, okay, it could be getting a dumping mark from Highbury? How much rain are we going to get?
01:08:07
Speaker 25: Good morning? How are you good?
01:08:08
Speaker 11: Thanks? Mark?
01:08:09
Speaker 26: Good?
01:08:10
Speaker 25: I reckon, we're going to get a down for thirty six?
01:08:12
Speaker 4: Oh wow, I like it. Good for the garden, Mark, don't it for the stars?
01:08:16
Speaker 11: Yeah?
01:08:17
Speaker 4: Nice?
01:08:17
Speaker 11: I like it?
01:08:18
Speaker 1: Good morning, Patrick? How much rain will we get today?
01:08:22
Speaker 11: Sixteen point five?
01:08:23
Speaker 4: Mil Well, I think we've already had that one, Patrick, so maybe just we had fifteen point five. Go another number seventeen seventeen? Okay, beautiful, what do you do? Seventeen? Good work? Dan's Patrick. Let's go to Tony from two Wells. Hello, Tony, here.
01:08:38
Speaker 8: You go to make twenty one and a half.
01:08:40
Speaker 4: Twenty one and a half twenty one point five. Beautiful work, Tony.
01:08:42
Speaker 1: Create one more gale from Salisbury Heights. How much rain? Gail?
01:08:46
Speaker 6: Yes?
01:08:46
Speaker 19: Twelve point one?
01:08:47
Speaker 4: Meil I think okay, twelve point one.
01:08:49
Speaker 11: I like it.
01:08:50
Speaker 4: We had a few on the lower end to start with, but then a lot at the higher end. Thanks, Gail, have a lovely day. Gee, we've got some real ranges there, do we do?
01:08:58
Speaker 1: Thirty six? I think that's probably little bit helped domistic potentially, But you know, who knows who knows that that rain band is coming through and looking at some heavy parts in that, you know, according to the satellite picture. So we'll wait and see who's closest to the pin.
01:09:12
Speaker 4: Okay, so that goes through until midnight tonight. We've already had five meals of rain, so we'll see how much more we get for the next sixteen hours and then it will cut off at midnight tonight. It is a time, though, Kate, to talk a little bit of footy, but also a little bit of economics, because our next guest is an absolute star in both fields.
01:09:38
Speaker 2: David Cash on five Double a Breakfast.
01:09:45
Speaker 10: Good morning, Hush, yes.
01:09:50
Speaker 6: Don com what a what a wonderful week?
01:09:54
Speaker 1: Well thought we get this out of the way first.
01:09:57
Speaker 4: Oh goshy that I was talking a few people as a I'm sure you were. If it's not one of the great showdown upsets, it has to go mighty close water performance. That was outstanding. You must be so proud.
01:10:08
Speaker 6: Yeah, really proud of the guys, and you know the focus has been on Zach and Jason as as it should be, but you know, Jordan's sweet and Josh Laie only his eleventh game. He was discovered playing amateurs last year in Victoria. So many players stood up and sort of the coaching like Josh had an incredible game as coach during the week that you'd be interested. He's themed it around I don't know whether you're a big ted Lasso fan.
01:10:49
Speaker 26: Yes, but he's seen the week around that famous dart scene, my favorite Rupert yep, and that his theme for the week with the boy is saying.
01:11:03
Speaker 6: You know you're up against an opponent who's likely to underrate you and isn't curious about what you can do. And I thought that was just a perfect scenario to build, as you say, one of the great showdown upsets around.
01:11:18
Speaker 4: Don't be judgmental, be curious. What a beautiful setting that was. Now I'll tell you what Koshi five and ten. I know it's not where you want to be win lost, but I think everyone can see the progression and the improvement and what Josh's doing, and he's building a game plan that I think once you do get to play finals, and it might be this year. It's got to stand up.
01:11:40
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, one hundred percent, and all the stats are champion data. Stats shows that we need to be a bit more accurate in the front end of the film, but certainly defensively, it's building a massive rock to it getting games into young kids. Because you look at our season ending injury list, it's pretty high top end talent that have been out for the season, and I think the young guys have really stepped up the troops and great credit to them for sticking at it. But yeah, it's a game plan on which we can build for the future, and that's enormous credit to Josh.
01:12:28
Speaker 4: And Miles Bergman. Potentially a chance this week. I think we'll cast you.
01:12:31
Speaker 6: To return and yep, and Pep played in the sample last week. Yes, so they will. You know, he's like the spiritual cultural leader of the group and we've really missed in the last twelve months with the ACL so it's exciting to see him come back because as you know, it's those injuries. It's a long road back for those players and the mental and emotion a toll is enormous on them, So it's good to have him back on the paddock.
01:13:04
Speaker 1: Absolutely, And we were talking earlier about Jason horn Francis as well. You know, a great player, you know, having a fantastic run at the moment, potential leadership qualities for him going forward. What are your thoughts?
01:13:15
Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, absolutely, sort of. Jason has built a consistency over the last sort of month two months or so, and you can see a real maturity in him coming through. And remember where without Connor Rosie and Jason has has really stepped up to support and lead with zak So and then Willem Drew is just the workhorse of the team who goes unrecognized. Willim Drew has never got a Brown Low vote. Would you believe I'm campaigning for Dreui to get a Brownlow vote at least this because he just is part of the engine room of Port Adelaide and never gets recognized for it.
01:14:07
Speaker 4: And he's one of those blue collar players that poor people just love. He does love all the unfashionable things. And just on Zach, I mean showdown medallist, who knows we don't know still yet if he's going to be there next year, but he's just putting together one of the all time seasons.
01:14:23
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's a beast and just the tenacity he plays with, he leads from the front, the passion when he crosses that white line, the passion he plays with is just enormous. So a great character and being a real foundation of the club since we drafted him in that famous draft of he and Codner and Gerzma, really changed the fortunes of the club around.
01:14:56
Speaker 4: And no change Coshi on his status at the moment, No.
01:15:01
Speaker 6: No, As you know, we really don't think about it much. As Zach has said, he'll make a decision at the end of the year and it's up to him and you've got to got to really respect his position. You cannot fault, absolutely cannot fault the commitment to the club and that's goes to his great character and why we love.
01:15:27
Speaker 4: Its the end of the financial year and the start of a new one, I'm sure for you, Yeah, you'd had the showdown.
01:15:34
Speaker 1: It's a new financial year. It's all happening for you.
01:15:38
Speaker 6: And also the property figures coming out for June as well. After all all the all the changes in the property market, which is showing a real downturn, the catality figures came out earlier this morning and for the last month, Sydney and Melbourne down down to the quarter. Adelaide was flat for the month, so starting to show maybe and lots of I'm reading lots of predictions of a property market crash and all that sort of stuff. I don't think we're going to see that at all. But the huge growth and property prices looks as though it's slowing down. The two big capital cities starting to retrace and come back a bit, so everyone should accept. You feel for those who may have bought recently on the government's five percent deposit scheme, they're looking a bit fragile at the moment. But generally across the property market, people are sitting on pretty good gains from the last couple of years.
01:16:47
Speaker 1: Well, that helped more people get into the market. We know how hard it is for particular and to the market.
01:16:54
Speaker 6: Really interesting because you would think with prices and values coming down that it would be more affordable, but the Housing Industry Association showing affordability has got worse. Why because of the increase in interest rates, So the increase in mortgage repayments is offsetting any reduction that we're seeing in values. At the moment, So we need interest rates to settle down or start to ease a bit if we want affordability to improve the people. So yeah, that's the accommodation.
01:17:36
Speaker 1: And one of the other changes that's come into effect today is payday super, so paying super instead of quarterly paying on the payday. What are the benefits of that, I suppose.
01:17:47
Speaker 6: Okay, the benefits of that is that it gets into your superannuation a lot quicker than it has been before your boss needed to do it, depending on the size of the business up to quarterly. For a lot of small businesses, that sort of provided a bit of a cash flow buffer, but that's no longer there for them, so when they pay salaries and they've got to pay super at the same time. So at a time when small business is under a fair bit of pressure and you're seeing it regular reports in the advertiser of restaurants and cafes closing and other small businesses builders not going through or not surviving, a combination of sort of payday super, increase in the minimum wage is putting a lot more pressure on small business cash flows. So for a lot of small business owners it's a time to really focus on finances and how the business is running because the financial demands have increased enormously.
01:18:56
Speaker 4: Yeah, times and time. That's a sure cause she always great to catch up. Thanks them much for coming on talking to you. Great co David Coss there who is the Port Adelaide FC chairman, and compare the market economic director.
01:19:13
Speaker 1: Knockdown build two with metro homes, move into ones and keep the other as an investment Metro homes.
01:19:20
Speaker 2: They do it all for you.
01:19:21
Speaker 3: By double A Winter Breakfast, Tom Wren and Kate Collins.
01:19:27
Speaker 4: We're into the final hour here on five Double A Breakfast. Great to be with you, Kate Collins and Tom Ren's true until nine o'clock and for the rest of the week. We love your input. Give us a call eight double two to three double A double O. That's exactly what Raymond has done. He is from Salisbury. Raymond, good morning to you. A bit of a traffic update out there for all of those listeners this morning.
01:19:46
Speaker 15: Yeah, good morning folks. I'm currently stuck in traffic on the floor of Expressway. I could see from the port Waffield Road overpas that the traffic was banked up for a long long way as far as I could see turns out apparently we've got an accident on Magazine Road. So yeah, anybody who's turning on to the Court of Expressways from Paul Waitfield Road, I'd suggest strongly that you continue down Paul Waitfield Road and use an alternate route to head west or get onto the South Road further down the road because it's a bit of a car park here at the moment.
01:20:20
Speaker 11: That's not good.
01:20:21
Speaker 4: Sounds like fairly significant delays, Raymond, Thanks so much. Drive safely and we'll hopefully get things alleviated there pretty soon. Thanks so much for the call, no sweat, great stuff Raymond. There from Saalisbury. Just with that traffic update, we're going to talk some cuttlefish in a moment. The issues that are going on there in Wayala. Kate will also talk illuminate. We're going to have a chat to them. The festival starts, a beautiful winter festival officially opens today. The travel habits of Australians. Things just starting to open up again. But right now we're going to talk a little bit of cuttlefish here.
01:20:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. School holiday is in a holiday time, holiday makers often head down near Wayala to check out our giant cuddlefish. It's a bit of a tourism draw card down there, but they will have to look at them from afar as of July one because there's new restrictions around the viewing of them in water activities to protect their breeding site. Joining us on the phone the Mayor of Wala, Phil Stone. Good morning to you, Phil.
01:21:20
Speaker 25: Good morning Kate.
01:21:22
Speaker 1: So tell us about these exclusion zone around our giant cuddlefish this season.
01:21:27
Speaker 25: Yes, it is going to do well. We've had a very slow start to the season and that's why the governments introduce this prohibition. Area is for in ninety days. However, if it is a late season and we do get large numbers, they can live at at any time. But it is for the protection about cattlefish, the community, all the operators, council, everybody agrees it has to be done. This is one of our slowest years for many, many years. Every year the number of cattlefish, and don't ask me how they count them. Back to twenty thirteen they were talking about down to thirteen and a half thousand. Then by twenty fifteen they got up to one hundred thousand. In twenty twenty, two hundred and forty seven thousand. Last year it was sixty four thousand, and the decision has been made to put this prohibition in place to protect and ensure that what cattlefish do arrive here. We have a few, certainly nowhere near that the numbers as normal, we have that large aggregation. The jury I believe, is going to be out for a while as to what is the cause. We were always being advised that the water was too warm. Then there's been a suggestion, well did the algal bloom play a part in this? But it does mean that unfortunately the glass bottom boats diving snorkeling on those particular sites for locals or for anybody that knows the air, and we have so many people that just keep coming back to view the cattlefish is the main diving points. You cannot access whatsoever to give the cattle fish the opportunity that are here to do their thing. I mean, we've still got so many activities happening on land. We're still going to carry on with our annual celebrations. Party will go on. It's just that our special guests, the cattlefish, won't be partaking in it. It is a little bit of a downfat community. I mean, this has been growing over recent years. However, the community in the main and certainly the operators will be behind this. We do know of people that have still been coming here, haven't been able to do any of the tours, but they still had a ball. We do have one operator that is set up for other sea tours, and we know that the waters are teeming with snapper crams do when it's a whole range of other fish. It's just that people that partake in this may not necessarily see cattlefish. You're not allowed in the area, as.
01:24:10
Speaker 1: You say, Phil, everyone's on board with this and protecting the breeding season for the giant cuttlefish. How big of an impact though, considering the effects of the algill bloom and how that really decimated business for a lot of tour operators along the coast, including there in Wyala, how vital is this to their business and are they able to pivot around this too?
01:24:33
Speaker 6: Well?
01:24:33
Speaker 25: I guess really it's a bonus to them. The fact that Geek, how long we been going on, only a few years. We've gradually been building up with the numbers once it's been exposed. I mean, we've got a heritage item here. It's not just national significance. It's worldwide. It's the only place in the world this happens, so we've certainly got that responsibility to protect it. It does mean I guess that extra little boost this time of the year, you know, I guess our off sort of season when it is winter. Our hospitality industry will will suffer from that. The operators that do all the tours, they're obviously going to be out of pocket. That extra boost isn't going to be there. But the fabulous thing is it's the operators themselves that have have been part of a group that has been looking at the future, looking at the issues, saying we've got to protect them, to make sure first of all for us that they come back, but secondly that we don't lose this incredible world activity.
01:25:42
Speaker 1: And you said, you've got some celebrations going ahead regardless, even if you can't go out and see the cuttlefish yourself, tell us about what's happening there, Phil right, We've.
01:25:52
Speaker 25: Got there's a whole lot of satellite events going on, particularly activities for kids. What I would suggest anybody that was coming to Wiler look at the cattlefish, don't cancel your plans. Still come have a look on our while of dot com and you can find out about all the events that you can get involved in. The majority of them these days are free that people put them on. So still visit Wiler. So much more to see as well, go for a walk on our unique Jenny. A whole lot of things. But while of dot Com is the place to go to exactly find out what's happening. As I said, there is so much on board for youngsters as well. Still things happening in Wiler, a lot.
01:26:34
Speaker 1: Of families I'm sure heading your way this school holidays as well. Phil Stonemare of Wala, thanks so much.
01:26:40
Speaker 25: Great, Thank you k Chiers, great stuff.
01:26:42
Speaker 4: Thanks so much for that, Phil, and just a nice reminder out there. Hopefully you know that sort of three month hiatus is enough for the cuttlefish to get breeding into really swelling numbers.
01:26:51
Speaker 1: Again, do their thing, as phel said.
01:26:53
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, do their thing correct. Eighteen minutes past eight o'clock now, Kate, we had a bit of pressure down coming in from John Farnham.
01:27:01
Speaker 1: We did our re entry song into this talk break Bab. We've had a text come through on the text line zero double four eight zero eight thirteen ninety five saying thanks for playing John Farnham. It's his birthday today.
01:27:13
Speaker 4: And he is seventy seven today, whispering Jack, so legend. Give us a call or send us a text zero double four eight zero eight thirty ninety five eight double two to three double o double Oh what is your favorite Johnny Farnham? Soign squeez.

01:27:46
Speaker 3: Five double A Winter Breakfast, Tom Red and Kate Collins.
01:27:54
Speaker 4: It is twenty two minutes past eight o'clock. Kate, we're getting plenty of texts on the five double A text line this morning.
01:27:59
Speaker 1: We sure are. We've asked you what your favorite Farnsi song is, because of course it's the legend John Farnham's birthday today, and we've had Mark text in. John Farnham is an Australian legend. I like you're the voice me too. Mark. I've seen him live at Bross under the Stars a few years ago. That would have been a special experience. Also, Andrew, my favorite John Farnham song is comic conversations and the best version is when he sang it in concert with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in nineteen ninety. Oh wow, I don't know that one.
01:28:30
Speaker 4: There's a throwback. What was one of his first ones? Was it Sadie, wasn't it?
01:28:35
Speaker 11: Yeah?
01:28:36
Speaker 1: We all love that one.
01:28:36
Speaker 4: We'll keep the text messages coming and the calls. Let's go to Amber from North Haven. Good morning Amber. What's your favorite Johnny Farnham song?
01:28:44
Speaker 7: Definitely good voice. I think it should be our national anthem. But could I quickly to you a quick job fanum moment I was. I think I must have been fifteen or four. About fifteen back in the early seventy I wanted to go to the John Fan concert. It was at Saint Clair that used to be the roller skating rink, and I wasn't allowed to you anyway, So my girlfriend and I hooked up this thing. I told mom I was sleeping at airplace, but her mom let us do anything and took us to the concert, but bugging me down. We were right at the front and you got pushed against the stage and you'd crapped and they'd take you behind the stage, you know, And the next morning there I'm on the front page of the Sunday Mail.
01:29:35
Speaker 4: Wow, what a great.
01:29:37
Speaker 7: Group of girls. And of course Mum saw my face.
01:29:40
Speaker 1: Of mom then you were out.
01:29:43
Speaker 7: But it was worth it.
01:29:44
Speaker 1: It was worth it, absolutely and thank you for that.
01:29:52
Speaker 4: And there's a bit of her voice. You're the voice as well, so we love that one. Let's go to Graham, who's also got a favorite John Farnham song, Good morning Graham, Oh here going good? Thanks, don't you know?
01:30:03
Speaker 18: It's magic? And also I was at the concept when he did the promotion for the album at the Southern Aurora Hotel and Ganion on.
01:30:10
Speaker 1: Oh wow, when what year was that? Grame?
01:30:14
Speaker 6: I don't know.
01:30:14
Speaker 18: My wife would not that which is on the computer so I can't get hold of it. But yeah, I mean back in those days he had he had a mixture of news as he had Greg mccainish on the bass from Skyhook's Uh, he had Vannetta Field on the on the backing vocals on Ninja Field and the lead guitars from from Daddy Coole was was his lead guitarist. And also he saw the same drummer virtually still had it all this time. But yeah, in the same we got squashed against the stage we got squashed against the stage and I was also walking out with his white white leather coat on a big flowing coat when he walked out, and I can't think what the year was. It was it will promote the album, of course, but what a lot of And he thought he was expecting just his old schoolfriend and his family, and when he walked out, he nearly passed out. And you saw the crowd.
01:31:07
Speaker 1: Well it sounds like those early concerts really went off. Thanks for your call, Graham.
01:31:10
Speaker 4: Yeah, great stuff. And well we thought we'd just play a little bit of his favorite song and then we'll get to our next cats.
01:31:24
Speaker 11: There.
01:31:24
Speaker 4: Keep those classics coming in, folks, A double two to three, double O, double O and Kate. Travel has been a big talking point, and particularly over the Middle East with everything that's been going on in the past few months. But we've got Dean long Now from the Australian Travel Industry Association. He's the CEO there. Dean, good morning to you. Tell us a thing starting to open up travel wise for Australian you know, travel goers out there.
01:31:48
Speaker 17: Yeah, there's some great news for Australians looking to get through the Europe. The Middle East is back back open and operating really effectively. Mean in Adelaide alone, we've got Kata back flying the daily flight through Goha. That's really good. We know it's important to get that direct connectivity through so and good news with the lowering of that travel advice. Everyone's got travel insurance when they're transitting through the Middle East and hubs, which we know is a bit of a barrier for some people.
01:32:14
Speaker 1: Yes, I had a friend come back from transitting through the Middle East recently and she was saying they were the only ones on their flight back to Adelaide, which was quite incredible. So it's been pretty quiet over their Dean.
01:32:27
Speaker 17: Look, it has been quiet that we are finding now that the Department of Foreign Affairs has lowered that advice, that those flights are definitely filling up. And also we've seen the changes in the terms and conditions that the airlines were offering. So the airlines were offering almost total refunds or forward changes to any of the flights for that early impacted period. That has now returned back to the normal terms and conditions. So if you want to have full flexibility, you've got to pay for those So what you're finding that a lot of people are coming back. They're very happy to be traveling through the Middle East. They're going through there, and what's driving that is, Yes, look, they probably prefer to be going through Asia, but those are fair opportunities. The prices that Katar and Emirates and Needy had are putting into the market are very very attractive at the moment, So that's what's driving for a bit of interest.
01:33:12
Speaker 4: And Dean, I think the travel industry copped that probably part of than any during COVID. But how are things more broadly and generally now we've seen, you know, sort of the opening up of more airlines, since things have been relaxed, and since we've had travel come back, is it going along? Okay?
01:33:28
Speaker 17: Yeah, Look, there's no doubt. The word resilience is something the industry uses a lot, and I think it doesn't matter if it was COVID or this conflict here that we've had in the Middle East. We've had to recover and learn to blend to operate at a much higher level than what we were probably prior to COVID. Things are looking up last year alone. The members that I represent with the Travel Industry Association being those travel agencies that are accredited in those tour operators. We looked at that twenty million tickets worth about nineteen billion dollars. So Australians are absolutely getting that right before they transit or before they go on those holidays and it's really encouraging to see and.
01:34:05
Speaker 1: Dean, my instagram is blowing up with all my friends over enjoying a euro summer and making me feel very very jealous in this cold whether we've got back here in Adelaid but with more of these routes opening up, and of course, as you say, the Middle East a little bit more back on board now for the stopover route over to Europe. Is it too late for people to get on board and enjoy that eurosummer?
01:34:27
Speaker 17: Oh, definitely not. There's a amazing fairs at the moment. There's no doubt there were some cancelations for people that were traveling at the moment, which means they were Eastern capacity on those Middle Eastern carriers. But also look, we know that a lot of Australians and South Australians in particular are looking into shortthall into Southeast Asia, Japan, Vietnam, Thailand and Bali, which this continues to be the playground for Australians. Over one point seven million people visited Bali last year, so there's lots of opportunities and something for every budget and I think that's what people need to know. Yeah, Euroscummer is always going to be on people's bucket list and want to be doing at river cruising, et cetera. But there's really great short breaks that you can have into Southeast Asia which will give you that value for money and let your wallet go a little bit further.
01:35:11
Speaker 1: Great Staday is always a good one.
01:35:13
Speaker 11: Yeah.
01:35:13
Speaker 1: It as easy trip over and enjoy some warm, warm weather when we need it most.

01:36:25
Speaker 4: Beautiful song. He's seventy seven today, John Farnham, So happy birthday to the man with that iconic song. You're the voice Now. Something that is happening. It is July the first is very exciting, kad. It's the official launch today, the sixth iteration of Illuminate Adelaide and one of the co founders and creative directors, Lee Cumberleage, has been good enough to come into the studio this morning. Lee, good morning to you. Thanks for coming in.
01:36:48
Speaker 27: Good morning, thanks for having me.
01:36:50
Speaker 1: So it's so nice to see all the lights around Adelaide in this dismal time of year. It's really just a bit of a bright spark. And we've got so many great illuminate events that are already underway and some that are kicking off as well.
01:37:03
Speaker 27: Yeah, that's right. We're setting up our City Lights Free program at the moment, so you might have seen some of those installations are already lighting up as we set up. That kicks off on Friday night for the entire length of the school holiday, so seventeen nights straight of more than forty installations all throughout North Terrace, Rundle Street and Ramal Park. This time for the first time ever that we've been in the parkland, so expanding the footprint of Sita Lights. And there'll be some beautiful installations down there, including some amazing illuminated swans that will be swimming around.
01:37:35
Speaker 1: The lake, which is so great because of course at school holidays you can take the kids, get out after dark and see these beautiful light installations and the swans on the lake will just be the cherry on the top this year. That sounds incredible.
01:37:48
Speaker 27: Yeah, that's right. Well, it gets dark so early, doesn't it. But it's great to have something to take the family or the friends or even the grandparents out to see. We get multi generational groups coming through, people from all backgrounds. It's just wonderful to see. I think the streets of Adelaide come alive at this time of year.
01:38:05
Speaker 4: And you've got the augmented Games as well, which is a huge addition to the program. Tell us a little bit about that.
01:38:10
Speaker 27: Yeah, that's right. Augmented Games is an immersive gaming experience at Ridley Center at the Adelaide Showground, So we've taken over that building. We've got eight game fields that you basically step on to and that you're inside the game and they're quite fun, old school games that you can come with a group of family or friends and play. And the way we've set it up is so that you come on to the court, you might be sharing the court as well, taking turns with other people. So we've had people making new friends for the first time. You know, it's a really social element to it as well. But it's really active. There's memory games, things that will test your mental agility, or you might have to race the clock on it. There's eight different games to try, so a really amazing experience and that runs right through the holidays as well.
01:38:53
Speaker 6: Well.
01:38:53
Speaker 4: What I love as well is there's something, you know, for the younger kids, and Kate and I have both got young boys, and there really is something for all age groups. I think another show that is outstanding, particularly for the younger and older people is Universal Kingdom. That's also a really popular one.
01:39:08
Speaker 27: Yeah, that's right. The third iteration of Universal Kingdom this year that we're focusing on the Ice Age so we've got animal lanterns, we've got projections, and we've got lifelike puppets roaming around the zoo as well, but it's all focused on the megafauna of the Ice Age era. So really fun, you know, fun activity for the family, I guess for the particularly for the younger the younger kids and families.
01:39:31
Speaker 11: It's it's really good.
01:39:32
Speaker 27: And yeah, it was just a great partnership with a zoo and it's fantastic to be able to go in there after dark.
01:39:37
Speaker 1: And I've been seeing some beautiful shots of people visiting the Digital Abyss. So if you're an art lover and you love getting immersed in your art as well. That's a great one to visit.
01:39:46
Speaker 27: Yeah, that's right. We opened this last night and people were loving it. It's Miguel Chevellier as a French artist that we've brought out. He's our resident artist this year actually, so this is his exhibition focused on underwater deep sea flora and he's been working with art and computers for forty years, pretty much since computers were invented, so he's a really world renowned digital artist. And he's also doing two of our installations in the free program, so big projection work on the floor of Beneathan Hall at the Adelaide University. And then he's the artist that we've got lighting up Government House this year with a beautiful projection on the facade. So yeah, it's a very special privilege to have him here in town all this week. And yeah, the Digital Business definitely something to get to see.
01:40:33
Speaker 4: You and Rachel do such a great job in just revitalizing this program each and every year. How do you sort of come up with the ideas and is it a full year round project view? It obviously starts officially today through until the nineteenth.
01:40:45
Speaker 27: Yeah's all right, Yeah, yeah, absolutely, it takes probably about eighteen months to put the program together. So we've been working on twenty twenty seven already. We take a pause of course to deliver this one, but we get back into to finishing the twenty seven programs. So we're very lucky. We get to travel quite a bit and go see what's happening around the world in this area of art and technology. But we also now have become i think a little known in this in this area around the world, so we get a lot of proposals from artists from all over the world as well. So we think the artists that we've been presenting are going back and telling people all overseas about what's happening here in Adelaide. So so yeah, it's a.
01:41:18
Speaker 1: Real feather in our cap. Can you do such an incredible job of it as well? So sixth year you said of illuminate Adelaide, and we can't wait to immerse ourselves in it and experience it for ourselves.
01:41:28
Speaker 4: How good I was going to say, like you, I just love it. You know the fact that these free shows as well, and people can just walk around if that's what they want to do, if they want to go and see something specific. Have you got a favorite. I mean, it's probably hard like picking your favorite child. But have you got one or two that if you had to.
01:41:43
Speaker 27: Recommends as hard to pick? I mean, I think the one I'm looking forward to the most this year is an artwork in the Radford Auditorium at the back of the Art Gallery of South Australia is in the free program. It's called Rari Rari. This is wonderful artwork from the Malka Project from northeast Arnham Land and this this collective is really pushing the boundaries of contemporary first nations are and it's a beautiful installation. So but it's a little bit tucked away, so people have to go and find it and definitely want not to miss.
01:42:09
Speaker 9: No.
01:42:09
Speaker 1: We like hearing about the hidden gems and such a wonderful program as well. I think this time of year, you know, traditionally South Australia has big events in the warmer weather as well, but illuminates such a fantastic event happening in the cooler months as well. Thanks so much, Lee.
01:42:22
Speaker 4: Thank you great, Thanks so much, Lee. I'm sure it'll go very well over the next two and a half three weeks. It all starts officially today, so please keep an eye out for all of the activities with regards to Illuminate and you can go online Lee, Yeah.
01:42:34
Speaker 27: That's right, illuminat Adelaide dot com for all their details and tickets as well.
01:42:37
Speaker 4: Fantastic great stuff.
01:42:41
Speaker 1: Knockdown build two with Metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment.
01:42:47
Speaker 2: Metro Homes. They do it all for you.
01:42:50
Speaker 3: Five Double A Winter Breakfast. Tom Wren and Kate Collins.
01:42:57
Speaker 4: It's twelve minutes to nine o'clock here on five Double A Breakfast. We've had a great time this morning, Kate, haven't.
01:43:01
Speaker 1: We we have. We've talked about a lot of things.
01:43:03
Speaker 4: I'm fight up about Illuminate, looking forward to taking their boys out and about nice to get them outside and I know it gets a little bit chilly out there, but you just rug them up and they've loved it.
01:43:12
Speaker 1: And just so great to have another festival happening here in Adelaide in South Australia during the cooler months as well. We do the summer once so well with Mad March and everything.
01:43:21
Speaker 4: The fringe and Fringe all everything.
01:43:23
Speaker 1: Around there, but to have something happening in the cooler months when we tend to just want to. Hibernate is fantastic and Illuminate do it so well. So lots of things to get out and see these school holidays if you've got kids or if you love your art. They have music as well, immersive sound experiences during Illuminate too. There's so much on offer.
01:43:41
Speaker 4: There is a lot going on, and there's a lot going on with the World Cup at the moment. Now for those waking up this morning wondering what has happened, will we know The Soccaroos are playing on Saturday morning against Egypt round of thirty two match, so they're hoping to go through to the round of sixteen. It's all knockout matches from here at. Norway has beaten the Ivory Coast two goals to one. They scored an eighty sixth minute winner I reckon it was Earling Harland who plays for Manchester City, and then in the game just completed France, who were one of the pre tournament favorites. Kate, they've won it twice before. Very good team killing Mbappe he scored twice. They destroyed Sweden three Neil could have easily been four or five and David Pempathy, who we know is away on a bit of a holiday now he will be watching this match coming up at ten thirty hour time, Mexico taking on Ecuador, so that's a huge opportunity for Mexico to go through to the round of sixteen.
01:44:29
Speaker 1: A lot happening out on the roads and with the weather as well. This morning, we've got Dale from Septon Park joining us on the phone with a bit of a traffic update. Dale, what's happening, Well, there's.
01:44:39
Speaker 18: An accident at the corner of Notedge Terrace and Northeast Road heading into the city.
01:44:44
Speaker 6: So it's nane. Yeah, it's one lane going in.
01:44:48
Speaker 1: Okay, so avoid that area if you possibly can. I think thanks for that.
01:44:55
Speaker 4: Is it weather affected? Dale? Is that the reason? Why can you see what the course.
01:44:58
Speaker 6: Was in the wrong way?
01:45:02
Speaker 1: So yep, okay, well thank you for that, Dally. Void that area if you can, look, Tom. The weather is playing a huge part this morning. There's a lot going on out there. So to get the very latest because the rain is dumping down, I've heard there's hail, there's all sorts happening. To get the latest, we're joined by Jessica Braithwait nine years weather presenter on the phone. Good morning, Jessica. How are you?
01:45:25
Speaker 23: Oh hi, guys, Yeah, oh god, I didn't get much sleep last night, I tell you what. Those storms came through early on and it's been all happening since then, hasn't it?
01:45:32
Speaker 1: Sure is? Yeah, I was the same. I didn't get much sleep. My dog's got crazy during all the lightning. So I think a few bleary eyed people around this morning, But it is all happening out there at the moment. Jessica. What are we seeing?
01:45:44
Speaker 23: Yeah, so big rain, big storms. There's a big going on. It's kind of like sort of almost got three rounds of this weather actually, so we've got what a lot of people would have noticed this morning. It's already bucketing down in the western suburbs. We've got this system moving down from the north. It's bringing the storm worms as well, and really heavy showers within that. But that's kind of just the first part of it. Then later on today we'll see a front arriving until you might notice the winds changing direction a bit, getting a little bit colder. That will bring another dose of rain and probably ramp up the wind as well. So that I guess you could think of that as step two. But really, I mean, if you think wet, stormy, and windy, that's the vibe of today. And then we've actually got another round coming in tomorrow as if that's not enough, another kind of a system coming through which will also bring potentially even sort of wetter and windier weather. So there's there's quite a bit to get through over the next really couple of days.
01:46:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, there any sort of areas today, Jessica that are going to be more affected than others.
01:46:46
Speaker 23: Yeah, I'm actually watching pretty closely in eastern parts of the state. So even already we have a severe weather warning in place for the northeast past or the Riverland is another one to watch. If you think of it kind of like if you imagine like a wave on the ocean coming in. We've kind of got this wave coming in over the ocean over us, over Adelaide, but it's kind of building up, and if you imagine, it's kind of going to crash down on the eastern half of our state around those riverland and those eastern areas, and that's why they could cop it even worse than us. So that's why I'm keeping an eye on those areas. But overall, it's pretty widespread. You know, most areas apart from the north of our state isn't going to be as wet, but most areas are getting something.
01:47:28
Speaker 4: And Jess we had a text in a little bit earlier saying that I think we've had twenty percent more rainfall for the first half of the year than what we're normally used to average wise, are we expecting a fairly wet July. I think we have had a pretty sort of wintry start, which you know, you expect obviously this time of year.
01:47:45
Speaker 23: But you know what, I'm actually not going to make a bed on that. It's been so up and down lately that I'm hesitant to predict. I know a couple of times we've had these really big web spells and I've come out of it thinking, gosh, we must have blown through our average, and then I go and look back and it's like, oh no, it's actually actually it hasn't been. It just sort of feels that way. So I'm going to let that one play out for July, Rennie, and you know what, well, let's touch base at the end of the month. I love see what happens.
01:48:18
Speaker 1: Well, it looks like we're in for a little bit of a wild one today and tomorrow. But thanks for bringing us up to date. Jessica. It's great to talk to you.
01:48:24
Speaker 23: No worries, stay dry, good stuff.
01:48:26
Speaker 4: Thanks for that, Jessica. Braithwait nine News whether presenter does a brilliant job. Kate, time to check out what is happening with regards to the breakfast fuel watch. It's better to be a member with RAA Roads Service and just a reminder just to drive to the conditions today because it does tend to bring a few people unstuck, and don't get stuck on the side of the road. Get RAA Roads Service unletted out there. Now we know the fuel excise has been cut in half overnight, so that's going to get passed on reasonably quickly. But out there at the moment as it stands, at the Liberty at Camden Park a dollar forty six point five you can fill up for the United at Summiten Park is a dollar forty five point six, and the Hugo at elizabeth Vale is a dollar forty eight point nine and diesel you can find that. The Liberty at Port Adelaide is a dollar sixty six point five so there's still some pretty good bargains around the place if you do your shopping around.
01:49:20
Speaker 1: Absolutely the advice from the raa earlier we spoke to them, they said that fuel excise cuts shouldn't be passed on immediately, and so we should look for those good prices and support those service stations that are still looking after their customers by keeping prices at those lower points that we're seeing at the moment.
01:49:37
Speaker 4: And just had a text on the five double a text line zero double four eight zero eight thirteen ninety five. We've heard of some traffic hazards out there. Another one on Old Blair Road. A car has broken down going towards Belair, so just be aware of that. That's from Harry in Belvie Heights, so just keep an eye on that, folks. There are a few issues out there, so give yourself an extra five or ten minutes on the roads if you can do that.
01:50:00
Speaker 1: Pretty impressive cloud pictures coming in as well on the text line as well. I've had one here from Brenton from Birkenhead and Jessica was talking about how those it was almost rolling in of the ocean was going to crash in over the riverland parts of our state as well. That system that we're seeing and that they're looking really ominous, and even out the window here you can see those clouds hanging over the hills. It's looking really dark and stormy out there today. So take care everyone on the roads, especially because the roads are slippery.
01:50:27
Speaker 11: Yeah, they are.
01:50:28
Speaker 4: And Kate, we played our Nearest to Pin a little bit earlier. I think it was at ten to eight we played it. We'd had five millimeters of rain as of you know, the start of the day, officially from midnight, and we're asking what is it going to be by the time we get to midnight. We had ranges all the way from I think about eleven meals through to thirty six. What are you going to? What's your guests?
01:50:44
Speaker 1: Well, I'm thinking that thirty six isn't looking so bad now, considering it's really dumped down in the last hour or so, but maybe not quite that high. I think my guess is we're going to end up around eighteen point two.
01:50:58
Speaker 4: Oh, I think it's at eighteen point now. Oh, so that's just coming through from average that has just come through. Literally as you spoke, you didn't see that. I did not see that there's eighteen point two right now, so in the last hour, I think we've had what thirteen meals of rain.
01:51:13
Speaker 1: That is significant, So maybe that thirty six isn't looking so crazy after all.
01:51:18
Speaker 4: Yeah, we've had a lot that went less than that. Goodness we have because they said seven to twenty the bureau, didn't they, So yet we've had the higher end of that already. Much on for the day. Quite.
01:51:28
Speaker 1: I am working today. I am so keep on working.
01:51:31
Speaker 4: That's it. You're a machine.
01:51:33
Speaker 1: But a good day to be inside, I think.
01:51:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, a very good day to be inside. I think off to the gym for me. I need a lot more work there, so I'm going to race off and then we'll be back tomorrow. Though we've got a couple more days to go.
01:51:43
Speaker 1: We sure we can't wait.
01:51:44
Speaker 4: Looking forward to that. We'll give away our price for Nearest to the Pin. Plenty of other things coming up tomorrow and of course on Friday as well. Stick around though, because after the news with Kendall Breddig and Corey Norris, we will have Matthew pantell Us on with Mornings. He's got plenty coming up, including a chat with Stuart O'Grady. The two and down under Root or Roots are being announced today, which is always exciting. Of course that will happen in January, so it's a much warmer time of the year, but always a great time, so stick around. Matthew Pantellas doing a brilliant job in mornings at the moment. Plenty more coming up throughout the day. Five Double A Sports Show a little bit later today after four o'clock, But Kate, that's it from us.
