Breakfast with David & Will - 25 June 2025

00:00:00
Speaker 1: Blim it's after six. Good morning to you. Welcome to Wednesday on five double a breakfast. But the weather hasn't gone anywhere, has it. Its still windy, it's still wooly, it's still wet outside. We'll be checking with the sees very shortly about how the last twenty four hours have played out for them, because it is a prolonged, nasty sort of weather pattern. The Weather Bureau coming on in the first hour of course, as always as well, we're going to be chatting with Bruce Walt from the United States Studies Center. Are we in a truce? Is there a ceasefire? Is there not a ceasefire?
00:00:30
Speaker 2: Is it?
00:00:30
Speaker 1: Does cease fire as a word have a different definition in the Middle East? Not sure Donald Trump Stein's work all that out of the moment. We'll talk about that after six thirty. Also, big news for Ali yesterday the still works officially up for sale. The mayor is going to join us after seven o'clock. Jane Low Macksmith back in the country. What does she make about the moves to derail the city council's involvement the live golf development. David Kosh is going to be on the program and also we're going to chat with the Treasure of South Australia, Stephen Mulligan after eight thirty. David Penberthy, good morning.
00:00:58
Speaker 2: To you, Good morning, well, good morning listeners. Jam packed as always. Now I don't know what it was like at your place. I got to say it didn't reach thunder storm proportions in our neck of the woods last night. It was certainly freezing.
00:01:12
Speaker 1: It was pretty wed.
00:01:14
Speaker 2: It was a good thing that we canceled school sport. I arrived at the school pickup thinking have I turned into as this doesn't look too bad, this patch is a blue sky. About half an hour later that was really, really gusty. There was a massive downpour that lasted probably ten minutes. It would have blown the under eight soccer team off the park. So vindicated. The cancelation of the practice was a good thing, but it didn't. The storm itself though, didn't. It didn't seem too bad in our neck of the woods. But different story. I think down the coastline up in the hill it just.
00:01:51
Speaker 1: Felt wind It was just so windy. The power of it was unbelievable. Yeah and yeah, just sporadic periods of super intense rain which maybe we're gonna get to more of We'll talk to the bureau very very shortly. Lot's going on in Adelaide this week. Tomorrow night, Katie Perry starts her series of four shows at the Entertainment Center Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Sorry, Thursday, Friday, Sunday and Monday night. She's playing at the Entertainment Center, which means maybe there's a bit of time in between to meet her namesake, Katy Perry the Cow. Emma Gilbert from the farm at Clarendon joins us on five double a Breakfast. Emma, give us the history of Katy Perry the Cow. How did the cow come to be known as Katy Perry? And does Katy Perry the singer know Katy Perry the Cow exists?
00:02:40
Speaker 3: Hi, guys, Yeah, good morning. So a bit of a crazy one. So we've got this gorgeous Highland cow, Katie, and the reason her name came about was because she's super affectionate, and so the joke was I kissed a girl and.
00:02:50
Speaker 4: I liked it.
00:02:51
Speaker 3: She was always giving kisses to people in the paddock. Ryan's auntie named Katy Perry and it stuck. So we have these cuddler cow sessions at our farm and everyone that comes to meet her. I think she's an absolute gem of Superstar and Adiva, so she definitely has it stuck. But I don't know if Katie Perry actually knows. We've tried to get in touch with her people. Whether it's going to happen, we don't know, But we're just tossing all our bits to see if we can make as much noise as possible, because wouldn't it be awesome to have our four legged Katie meet the o G Ktie?
00:03:20
Speaker 2: Absolutely? So, how have you gone about it? Is it one of those sort of social media type things. Have you got an Instagram account for your Katy Perry?
00:03:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we've just gone hard on the social media. I did a bit of an AI photo where I put Katie and our Katie together a hustling in a padic and then I thought, you know, that's the next album cover. So I made a bit of a campaign about it, and it's just gone viral. So I've got Channel nine for the Today Show coming to the farm in a minute. I've got Sunrise coming in a minute. I've just got everyone in views. It's just gone mental.
00:03:49
Speaker 1: How would you soften Emma. The potentially problematic component of this, that is Katie Perry, the singer may not like being compared to a cow.
00:03:58
Speaker 3: Well, our gorgeous girl is very rare, very expensive and just luxurious, So does she want to be This girl's imported. She's not just any kind of dairy cow in a paddock we're talking about here.
00:04:11
Speaker 2: Well, there's a president for this. I mean, I can remember em I'm not sure if you do. But when Mariah Carey was here and also Ronnie Wood from The Stones, they both had photos taken at Cleveland with Kohala's. So you know we've had We've had big names who cuddled up with celebrity Adelaide Wildlife before.
00:04:30
Speaker 3: Well, she's been to Adelaide Zoo, she's done a lot of touch points in other states, and I thought, let's put our hat in the ring. Essay's got a lot to offer. And who doesn't want to meet a fluffy Highland cow? I mean, really, why would you not?
00:04:41
Speaker 1: They are gorgeous creatures, aren't they?
00:04:42
Speaker 2: I thoughts. I don't know much about cows. I'm not a rural type, but cows normally aren't that team?
00:04:49
Speaker 1: Are they? They don't like being hugged in touch.
00:04:51
Speaker 3: Today depends what breeds you get. But we're really lucky. We use ours for our coud of Cow sessions, which is the mental health and helping people because and enjoying animals. So we put a lot of work into making sure our girls are beautiful, calm girls and they really do love her. I'll sit there on their belly, happy to be scratched like a dog. More so so cute, it doesn't really count.
00:05:12
Speaker 1: Excellent.
00:05:13
Speaker 2: Oh that's good, Well, good luck. Hopefully you get a call out of the blue from Katy Perry that she and Katy Perry away.
00:05:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's in town, so she can't be too far or so I'm just going to have to go to the festival and stand out the front with the cow campaign un till I get in.
00:05:30
Speaker 1: Hmm, that's a great idea. Well, good luck. What a great thing from the farm Clarendon. If there was if someone had an animal and it was called David Penberthy the Mountain goat, and they sent you a message on social media saying David, I want you to meet David Penberthy in the Mountain goat. You would go and meet the goat. I have no doubt about it.
00:05:51
Speaker 2: I was thinking what I was talking about her. Could this work with other celebrities? I mean, I like the idea of I don't know, maybe I get a budgy and call it Salmahayak and when Salmahiake's and I could get I see where you're going with this? Would you like to come around and see my budgetyar fourty?
00:06:05
Speaker 1: Yes, better be careful, she might think that's sody reckon local parlance. Get a terrap and call it rack see if it wants to come read you. If you happened to one day meet Selmayak and you said, hey, would you like to see my budgy? I reckon, you may be carried away panish as well. Fifteen ye vered me budgety gar fifteen after six, we're going to take a break News Headlines Next.
00:06:29
Speaker 5: David Penberthy and Will Goodings five double a breakfast.
00:06:33
Speaker 1: Nine minutes after six, We're going to cross down to a Glenelg the Broadway Kiosk you might be familiar with. They've had some trouble in the past. When we get this combination of abnormally high tides as the Weather Bureau calls it, and strong winds. They were sandbagging the property yesterday and that's where we find Verity this morning. Verity has the kiosk holding up.
00:06:51
Speaker 6: Oh, good morning, it's a beautiful day at the beach.
00:06:55
Speaker 2: How was it yesterday, particularly yesterday afternoon?
00:06:57
Speaker 1: Verity? Was it pretty rough down there?
00:07:00
Speaker 6: It was very rough. Yeah, we were lucky the council came down and sand bagged us and got us ready for it.
00:07:05
Speaker 2: Did you need the sandbags? Do you think would you have been flooded out otherwise?
00:07:09
Speaker 7: Oh?
00:07:09
Speaker 6: Absolutely? Like last time with the big storm that came through, there was such an awful mess in the morning. This time it's very minimal.
00:07:16
Speaker 1: Well that's good.
00:07:17
Speaker 2: So did the waves come right up to the to the esplan aren't there?
00:07:22
Speaker 8: Yeah?
00:07:23
Speaker 6: Yeah, and pretty much inside the cafe sometimes when it's wow, when it's a really high tide.
00:07:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, But today it's business as usual pretty much.
00:07:32
Speaker 6: Absolutely. We're open, the coffee machines on and it's part and rearing to go. So we're looking forward to seeing everyone down here because it looks quite spectacular when you're inside. Yeah, Like the storm looks amazing.
00:07:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys have got the best bit of real estate there, I guess you're so close to the ocean the storm that sometimes it comes to you.
00:07:50
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly, well, well.
00:07:51
Speaker 1: Glad to you. This time. It's about the view and not about the repairs. Verity there at the Broadway Kiosk at Glenelk, it is the usual spot there. It's great to walk along the shorefront there sort of south of glenell It is just tremendous. Let's jump into the news headlines on this Wednesday, the twentieth, sorry, the twenty fifth of June. Twenty fifth of June, of course, means six months, six months still Christmas. I think we had a really negative, depressing talk topic to start the program yesterday, so let's have a positive one this morning. Six months to Christmas sort of feels like the halfway point of the year. What's the best thing that's happened to you in the first six months of twenty twenty five eight double two to three double double Textas on zero before eight zero eight thirteen ninety five, we have Illuminate Adelaid tickets to give away if you've got something great that's happened to you in the first six months of twenty twenty five. The countdown to Christmas starts now let's talk more about the weather though. Brad flew from the Sees joins us again on five double a breakfast. Brad, good morning to you and thanks again for your time the last twenty four hours.
00:08:55
Speaker 9: How busy you've been, Yeah, good morning, thank you. This morning, we've seen one hundred and twenty five requests from midnight yesterday, so that last sort of twenty four hour period, so our volunteers has certainly had a bit of work ahead of them last night and was a little bit more to go this morning.
00:09:11
Speaker 1: What's been the most serious of it, Brad.
00:09:14
Speaker 9: Yeah, we've seen some pretty significant trees come down. Some people might have noticed some roads that I had a bit of slow traffic yesterday, did the trees coming down, bit of damage to a couple of homes with branches and the like striking the sides of their premises and things. So certainly seen those sorts of damages from the winds, and then obviously certainly some reports of some impacts from the coastal action that was coming with the waves.
00:09:40
Speaker 2: No one's been injured or anything, though, it sounds like it's been pretty plain sailing on that front.
00:09:45
Speaker 4: Yeah.
00:09:45
Speaker 9: Absolutely, We're very lucky to see no injuries or confirmed traced with the weather coming through good stuff.
00:09:51
Speaker 2: Brad Brad, FLUSA State Duty officer had a love twenty five requests.
00:09:56
Speaker 1: I love this text from Allison, She says, I love the topic this morning. I'd love to ring, but I've got an unwell child to sleep on me. My son is ten. His name is Nol. He's named after Noel Gallagher. I'm trying to contact Noel with the hope of Nol meeting NOL when Oasis come here in November. What a great idea.
00:10:11
Speaker 2: We've got to make that happen, Alison. Yeah, let's do it. I wonder if Allison's got any other kids.
00:10:16
Speaker 1: Have you got tickets, Allison, They're tough to get those Oasis tickets, Willam.
00:10:20
Speaker 2: That's right. I wouldn't get on with that. Yeah, they'd be arguing all the time in there, utterly impenetrable Northern English accents. I can't understand a word those two blokes say, can you it's hard they need subtitles?
00:10:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is at times, and then they used they obviously have local slang and so forth.
00:10:39
Speaker 2: Crazy.
00:10:40
Speaker 1: All right, let's check in on the news headlines on this Wednesday morning. A man has died after falling through a roof in Adelade's West on Monday. Safe workers say launching an investigation into the tragic incident. It occurred at West hein Marsh around two thirty eight pm on Monday. The man was working on the roof of a house when he fell through and sustained a serious head injury. The Safety the Commissioners announced an imminent crackdown, forcing big tech to clamp down on restricting children from accessing porn and violent videos and content promoting disordered eating and self harm. Speaking to the National Press Club in canber on Tuesday, Julian Grant said she would register industry codes targeting for three content categories, warning she would enforce mandatory standards if the codes did not meet appropriate appropriate community safeguards. Good luck will A. So I presume that can only apply to what social media companies directing that kind of stuff towards you? Well, yeah, because who are I'm just What's like?
00:11:38
Speaker 2: Who else are you?
00:11:39
Speaker 1: Who are you finding?
00:11:40
Speaker 10: What?
00:11:40
Speaker 1: Google?
00:11:40
Speaker 4: For?
00:11:40
Speaker 1: You allowing kids to search for stuff that they shouldn't be able to do.
00:11:46
Speaker 2: But I think the problem is it's not that kids necessarily search for It is that it pops up regarded. That's why I'm just trying to exactly the problem. That's what I'm trying.
00:11:53
Speaker 1: But I'm saying we'll get who's at what point are going to hold people responsible for that?
00:11:59
Speaker 2: Well, it's their algorithms, isn't it. They're the ones who write them. Yes, that's what I'm saying. So it has to be this has to be aimed at the social media companies. Yeah, I mean, what's the difference. It would be like if someone had a children's bookstore and accidentally had fifty copies of Hustler magazine in there and said, well, you know, I don't read everything like you. Laugh that person out of town. If Dimmick's on King William Road, I accidentally decided to open an isis video section, or how to lose forty kilograms in three days, or some guide to self harm.
00:12:41
Speaker 1: I guess I just these things feel well intentioned, but I wonder what they'll actually achieve. Well, that's it, the scale of what they're up against, because I don't reckon twelve or thirteen year old boys are going to be dissuaded by the fact there is an absence of pop ups advertising naked women online. I reckon they might find their way to it some other wise. Yeah, the whole thing was designed to make it really easy if at first you don't succeed. Yeah, it's just funny feeling. A review of Australia's suicide prevention policies is found they're not fit for purpose and governments aren't even properly measuring whether they're working. The Productivity Commission has released an interim purport calling for major changes to support vulnerable Australians. Commission at Selwyn Button says new systems and needed to make sure people dealing with mental illness get the help they need.
00:13:27
Speaker 11: Taking some steps back to look at some of those fundamental steps in the first place, to make sure that we're designing a system that we can actually measure and monitor to demonstrating facts. We don't have that at the moment.
00:13:41
Speaker 1: IgA is the most expensive place to shop in the country, with the average basket costing close to seventy dollars. Consumer Group Choice rank Coal's second in its latest quarterly findings. Choice Chief executive Actually the Silver says consumers still need to shop around and doctor is not the least.
00:13:58
Speaker 2: Surprising thing in the world. It is expensive because it's paying people extra money.
00:14:03
Speaker 1: They yeah, and they were always open on public gouging people are they it's just the nature of the business. Penalty rates, that's what you pay more. And just lastly, we'll follow this up a little bit later in the morning because it's going to happen during our show, But doctors are going to hold a stop work meeting this morning to discuss their pay deal and it's going to take place at eight thirty am. They're not expected, that is the doctors to rub a stamp the last off they received from the state government. They're not ruling out even more strike action in addition to this morning over the course of the coming weeks. It comes on the back of a frightening experience for one work at Flinder's Medical Center, which says Moer chief Bernadette Mulholland detailed to Graham Goodings on his program yesterday.
00:14:38
Speaker 12: Look, there were and have been over the last a few weeks, several incidents that have consented staff and their safety. This particular incident occurred at last Wednesday when patient attenders who was agitated and potentially issues of violence arose.
00:14:59
Speaker 11: To the point.
00:15:00
Speaker 12: And this happens very rarely, so shows how significant the matter actually was was that there was no other option but to release the patients and to call police so that it reduced any threats of violence towards the staff or other patients that were in the emergency department. What we're actually looking for is, I guess, a better response to the needs of mental health patients and better facilities and access those facilities in the short and long term.
00:15:31
Speaker 1: We'll address that issue with the treasure whilst the striker is going on after thirty today, Matt and Salisbury Heights, what's the best thing that's happened to you in the first six months of twenty twenty five?
00:15:41
Speaker 9: Thought I got bored first?
00:15:42
Speaker 1: Oh, congratulations to you, Matt. That's awesome. What's her name?
00:15:46
Speaker 13: Victory?
00:15:47
Speaker 1: Oh beauty, Victory, well lovely and how are you getting on so far?
00:15:50
Speaker 14: Matte?
00:15:51
Speaker 13: It's good sleeps on nights, so I can't complain with that.
00:15:53
Speaker 2: We'll play lucky.
00:15:54
Speaker 1: How is she now?
00:15:56
Speaker 13: It should be six months for the star next month.
00:15:58
Speaker 1: You throw theugh bit Christmas Baby, you through the tough bit. Yeah, that's no, we'll play that's superb work back. Congratulations to you, are well and truly in the running to whin the illuminate Adelaide tickets. There's no better thing that can happen to you than the birth of your child. Congratulations to you, Matt. Let's talk sports, Tom Rens in the studio, gladder or garage doors, ending strength, style and safety to your home glidderol dot com dot AU.
00:16:22
Speaker 15: Morning Ready, Morning Will, Morning David. We know the ashes are coming up speaking of summer later this year, so we're keeping a bit of an eye on the Gussis who played their Test match against the West Indies this series coming up over there in the Caribbean, but also England who they play against. They played against India. I'd see yesterday. There's a great Test match going on, finished last night. This is how it concluded. An amazing run chase by the home side.
00:16:47
Speaker 16: And he blisters it over mid on another famous when for this fabulous Ben Stokes led England side their second ever highest run chase.
00:17:00
Speaker 1: The first was against in.
00:17:01
Speaker 16: There in twenty twenty two at Edge Buxton. Three hundred and seventy eight wasn't enough. Three hundred and seventy one was not enough on day five here at Leeds.
00:17:10
Speaker 2: So yeah, they it's that all lives.
00:17:13
Speaker 15: Yeah, exactly, the tenth has to ever run chase in test history.
00:17:17
Speaker 1: So it's changed, doesn't it. It's once upon a time near three hundred the tests over.
00:17:22
Speaker 15: Yeah, all back for a draw, you know, just you know, set the anchor down and.
00:17:26
Speaker 2: Try how many weeken stand withere They do five, so okay, well they're pretty comfortable.
00:17:30
Speaker 15: Well yeah, they were far for about two hundred and eighty odd and then they just yeah, sort of did it from there. But they just take the game on. It's either win or lose and we're not going to play for a draw.
00:17:39
Speaker 2: And any bad thing about it is it's England, but it's as a tactic it's great.
00:17:42
Speaker 15: Yeah, it's great to watch. They're entertaining, so really good from them and Goutgout Overnight has won in Europe, which is really really exciting. So a bit going on overseas, but yeah.
00:17:53
Speaker 2: The English look out.
00:17:54
Speaker 15: They looking like they're pretty exciting to watch ahead of the upcoming summer.
00:17:57
Speaker 1: All good stuff you ready, Thanks boys, David Penberthy and World Goodings five Double a Breakfast twenty four minutes to seven.
00:18:06
Speaker 2: We just done before from Bernadett Marl Holland from the Salaried Medical Officers Association about the fact that the medicos are going on strike at eight thirty. Our great friend Rob on the Tech Times is if doctors are having an eight thirty am stop work meeting, then you can bet your house on the fact that I won't start till ten am. Please wait this little room for the strike to begin the strike. The strike's got a few other people to see first. The other thing, you won't be able to read the writing on any of their placards exactly right, So what do we want? Unintelligible? When do we want it?
00:18:42
Speaker 14: Now?
00:18:42
Speaker 1: It's probably probably Mulligan's going, WHOA. I'm trying to him what they want, but they can't read it to get in writing exactly. There was an extraordinary moment in not just US politics, but I think world politics late last night, US President Donald Trump was getting on a plane to go to the Haye, Netherlands for the NATO meeting that's going on there. And what had preceded that during the day was that his announcement of a ceasefire that was then fought within four hours broken by both Israel and Iran. They both started firing missiles again. After the President had triumphantly come out and said, this is peace. We've achieved it, it all worked, this is it's all happened. Everyone agrees, And you haven't listened to this. Are we gonna play are.
00:19:28
Speaker 2: We gonnapply unedited?
00:19:29
Speaker 1: I don't know, We're not gonna play it unedited.
00:19:31
Speaker 2: But this is just just say you don't know in case you haven't heard it, folks, this is one hundred percent rigid ditch and.
00:19:37
Speaker 1: This is the whole context. This is not just the final bit of what is going to be. I think one of the more memorable quotes of Donald Trump's time in office.
00:19:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do.
00:19:48
Speaker 7: They violated, but Israel violated Israel as soon as we made the deal.
00:19:55
Speaker 14: They came out and they dropped a load of bobs the lakes at which I've never seen before, the biggest load that we've seen.
00:20:01
Speaker 7: I'm not happy with Israel.
00:20:03
Speaker 14: You know, when I say, okay, now you have twelve hours, you don't go out in the first hour. It just drop everything you have on him. So I'm not happy with them. I'm not happy with the run either, But I'm really unhappy if Israel's going out this morning because the one rocket that didn't land that was shot, perhaps by mistake that didn't land. I'm not happy about that. What we have, we basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the they're doing.
00:20:33
Speaker 1: Do you understand that? And they walked to his plane to take off to or he's helicopter to get the plane to go to the Hague. We have two countries that are fighting, been fighting for so long, they don't know what the f they're doing. And he said it unedited, and he was angry. And I got to say, I've never received more messages from people we say, you know what. I generally don't agree with Donald Trump. I agree with him one hundred percent in this instance.
00:20:58
Speaker 2: Well, there's a pair of to those remarks, and it's something that exists in the Australian language, and it's something that people might regard as perhaps historically ignorant or historically uncurious, maybe even borderline racist. But the old Australian expression these people would rather have a fight than a feed. And you've heard it in relation to Northern Ireland historically, you heard it in relation to the Middle East. It reflects our sentiment for crinout. I can't these people just pull their bloody heads in and get along. Trump is the innate master of mainstream sentiments so often and on this I reckon he just spoke to the sort of plebeian exasperation. And I mean don't mean plebeing in a pajura. I mean it in the popular The popular sentiment when you look at this is well, this is just an intractable, bloody shit fight.
00:21:51
Speaker 1: But when he said it, I went damn straight.
00:21:54
Speaker 2: The other thing, though, again to put it in its very local context, is this politics. Duncan Fosdyke moment. Duncan a Grand Final famously being interviewed by our great mate Mark Mark Easton to you know, Duncan Eddy your feel I feel fan fantastic And it was a huge local story. Someone who's said the F word on television? Is it now the benchmark? I mean, he's the leader of the free world. Are we at a point where you and I come in here will and just start saying that person Like yesterday Nick Champion he had an F and shocker, it feels like we're.
00:22:35
Speaker 1: What the F was that?
00:22:37
Speaker 2: At some point like as it normalized.
00:22:39
Speaker 1: The I was gonna ask you this because you've got an encyclopedic knowledge of Australian political history. Can you recall an F bomb being dropped deliberately? Two reporters in that kind of context, be caught off mike or telling jokes at events or whatnot. But I'm saying it's in a high stakes front conference. Can you recall that?
00:23:03
Speaker 2: No, never, no, it's I think Gareth Evans is the only person who's down in hands hard as saying the F word many years ago he said it to Bromwin Bishop but no, no, But has it?
00:23:16
Speaker 1: Has it?
00:23:17
Speaker 2: Has it normalized it? Where our listeners offended? What do you think? Yeah, you offend me? Do you think that the F word should still be barred from public life? Or with the impromata of the President of the United States, is it now openslater let us know what you think.
00:23:31
Speaker 1: Eight double two three double A double A or you can text zero eight thirty ninety five. In the meantime, let's talk about this, this ceasefire that now does seem to be holding, just for the moment at least. Bruce Walpy from the United States Study Center, he's the senior fellow there. He joins us on five double A breakfast. Bruce Walpe. Good morning to you. Thank you so much for your time. This this second attempt at a cease fire. Now, do you think it'll be more successful than the one that lasted just a couple of hours yesterday?
00:23:56
Speaker 17: Good morning. We'll keep the conversation clean, damn it.
00:23:59
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, we might ask you what you really think.
00:24:05
Speaker 17: Yeah, don't ask you what I really think. I might go into places you don't want to go. In all seriousness, though, it looks like the ceasefire will hold. It's in the interest of both countries at the ceasefire hold, and so but new issues arise overnight, not only just from temperament and how he comports himself as president, and and that is I do think this is becoming more normalized, and I think the political culture is becoming corroded, and that will continue as long as he's in office. But new reports are emerging of an intelligence assessment that the nuclear program was not obliterated. Yes, the four Doah Mountain was sealed, but the apparently not destroyed was the structures underneath all the architecture and so forth. And then the other big question is where did the enriched uranium go. There are indications that it was moved to other locations for the US bombing campaign. And if that's the case, that there may be undiscovered places where in rich uranium enrichard of a high level just before weapons grade and centrifuges are safe and operate. We don't know for sure, but that's the latest it reports out of Washington this morning.
00:25:21
Speaker 1: Bruce, do you think if even if the capacity to make weapons gribe bluetonium hasn't been unbluted rited, do you think there's a chance the US bombed why Iran's will to pursue a nuclear weapons program?
00:25:36
Speaker 17: I think it really depends on what happens in succession in Iran. The supreme leaders eighty six years old, their reports that he is eighty six years old and is ineffective to some degree, and what does the next generation of leaders around him want. But we have seen, you know, over the past ten, twelve to fifteen years, uprisings from time to time with the Iranian people, courageous movement, especially the last time when a woman executed just treated in the worst fashion, prompting demonstrations across the country. So at some point, yes, there will be change in Iran. It's hard to believe it will get more harder line than it has been, but remains to be seen.
00:26:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's a pretty chaotic times. Bruce Walpy, the United States Studies Center senior fellow, thanks so much for joining us. Bruce Day from out text he said this for me. Trait Roddick question which great quote from history could be improved for the addition of the F bomb. One of his suggestions one small step for man one, John effan step for man.
00:26:42
Speaker 1: God, it does elevate, it doesn't. They're really underschools the significance of the JFK's famous invocation to people to contribute a bit more edge. That's not what you no, they got the way around. Yeah, but I thank your point. Some people are very critical of it.
00:27:02
Speaker 2: Mark says the F word is certainly not statesmanlike, not surprising from this creton who has diminished the office of the president beyond repair. Others like Joe are saying, Guys, as a person that swears quite a lot, I think can always get my message across. I think it's about time we harden up a bit news. The old added sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Make swearing great again, thank you for.
00:27:28
Speaker 1: That, Joe. That might be the next mission after solving you know, war in the Middle East.
00:27:33
Speaker 2: Did you hear his suggestion yesterday that there should be a marga movement in Iran called Mega Yeah, make.
00:27:39
Speaker 1: Iran great again. Unbelievable. Let's check traffic, police and weather in just a moment, experts in commercial residential property management. That's Lynn Andrews's real estate Lynn Andrews dot com dot Au, David.
00:27:50
Speaker 5: Penberthie and Will Goodings five double a breakfast.
00:27:53
Speaker 1: But it's the seven ER's check in with the weather Bureau on this Wednesday morning. Simon Timkey is on Judy morning you.
00:27:58
Speaker 18: Simon, good morning, Will more David.
00:28:00
Speaker 1: So this inclement weather, the windy and rainy component of it, how much long is it going to stick around? Today?
00:28:07
Speaker 18: Yeah? Look, I think today will be the easing day. So we've had some pretty as you say, wet and windy weather over the last couple of days. But today the troughs and fronts that have produced that weather are moving away to the east and the next high pressure system will be centered over the Byte by the end of today, so that of course the winds to ease, the showers to ease, probably clear from the Adelaide area and much much less wintry weather around the place, but it certainly has been a bit wet. Just having a look at some of the rainfall totals we've recorded since nine am yesterday, quite a few spots around the Adelaide Hills picking up sort of twenty five to thirty five millimeters. The wettest spots sort of just up to the northeast of Lobethall there with thirty six millimeters, but thirty five millimeters done an Aldgate, thirty three at Ashton, so some pretty wet spots over the Adelaid Planes not quite so much. We've recorded eight points six millimeters here in the city, most places around the Adelaid Planes getting up to around five to ten millimeters or so. Has been a pretty windy night. We've had gusts around the Adelaide area getting up to around fifty to sixty kilometers per hour, but recorded August to eighty seven kilometers Mount Crawford up in the Mount Lofty Rangers there, so we still do have that severe weather warning out for potentially damaging winds for the Mount Lofty Rangers, not over the Adelaide Planes, so still expecting that that chances and damaging winds up around the hills there. Over the next couple of days, with that next high coming in, we will see much less wind and much less in the way of showers too. So for our temperatures today, expecting a maximum of fifteen currently in the city sitting on around thirteen degrees. The next couple of days cloudy on Thursday, maybe the slight chance of a shower, but I think mostly dry fifteen degrees. Friday, cloudy six degrees. Over the weekend couple of cold mornings stand to five degrees for Saturday morning, so a little bit of frost around the place, but a bit of cloud during the day, but should be dry fifteen for Saturday, fifteen again for Sunday. We might see one or two showers around on Sunday too, with another little front just pushing up from the south. And then next week the cold mornings continue. Five degrees again for Monday morning fifteen with a chance of a shower, and then Tuesday next week mostly Sunday sixteen degrees.
00:30:27
Speaker 1: Good, Thank you, jam, thank you. Let's say to say Paulson, he comes to a holly Frisbee joins this holy a couple of men have been arrested after weapons were found yesterday.
00:30:34
Speaker 19: That's great, good morning, David Will. About four point thirty yesterday police were called to North Terrace after two men were seen acting suspiciously. Police were quickly on scene, locating the men and during a search police located a number of weapons including knives, knuckle dusters and then batten a fifty one year old man from green With and a fifty year old man from Blakeview. We're arrested in charge for carrying an offensive weapon and possessed prohibited weapon. They would both bailed to appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court. That's a great result from patrols with these weapons being removed from the street.
00:31:04
Speaker 2: Absolutely, there's good on your Holy thank you seing you comfortable, Holly Frisbee from Sapole.
00:31:08
Speaker 1: Well, there are a ticket still available to what sounds like a wonderful show that's going to be taking place at a Magency theater on Saturday night. We've been giving alway tickets to it this week. Rocketman orchestrated and we've got a lot of Elton John fan listeners David, who I think are going to be particularly excited about this absolutely.
00:31:24
Speaker 2: It's how a great pleasure to be joined in the studio by Warwick Cheatle, who's a base player, co producer and director of the Southern Cross Symphony, and also Brenton Foster, who's one of the performers in Rocketman.
00:31:35
Speaker 1: Guys.
00:31:35
Speaker 2: Good morning and.
00:31:36
Speaker 1: Welcome to the studio. Moning guys.
00:31:38
Speaker 2: It's great to be catching up with you again. Now. We spoke last year or the year before about the Pink Floyd just a couple of years ago.
00:31:44
Speaker 20: It was the Eclipse Pink Floyd orchestrated show which kicked off here in Adelaide and then went around around the country and over to New Zealand.
00:31:51
Speaker 2: And yeah, yeah, great show, fantastic. And this again is an orchestral production.
00:31:56
Speaker 20: That's right, it's an orchestral production. The thirty piece orchestra performing ten musicians in front of them playing guitar and keyboards and other things. Brenton's one of them. And yeah, all the hits of Elton john.
00:32:08
Speaker 2: We're saying earlier this week when we gave away some of the ticket. It's like, what a target rich environment it is. Going through the back catalog of Elton Jonathan. It's song wise, where do you start. Look, this's a really good question. I noticed yesterday thirty two of his hits appeared in movies alone, thirty two of his hit He's got so many singles and so many hits over the years, from the early days of Crocodile right through to the Lion King.
00:32:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we're just on that. I was wondering in a chicken or egg sense, when you pick about pick something to give the orchestral treatment to do you pick it based on the music and it can be elevated or can you do that with anything? And you're just picking something that really has such a target rich environment.
00:32:52
Speaker 20: As David, so you should be the producer of the show, because that's exactly what we've gone through. We've gone through the listening to each of the songs and having listened to what really lend it sorts to orchestra. In nineteen mid eighties, Elton John came out and he performed with orchestra with the Melbourne Symphony and so that was a really good indication of the sort of songs that would work well with orchestra. So we took those that approach, created the arrangements. A lot of listening, a lot of working and it's a beautiful, lush presentation of the of Elton John music.
00:33:20
Speaker 2: So, Brenton, I do know if you were part of the Pink Floyd Show a couple of years ago, only as a fan, but so as a muso bringing Elton John's songs to life. Have you got a favorite? Have you got a favorite song to play?
00:33:35
Speaker 21: I always love playing like Rocketman. Yes, is like anthemic and mighty, So that's probably my favorite of the show. But yeah, I mean there's just so many good songs. As why it was saying, it's just you know, hit after hit, so it sort of never dies down in terms of, you know, that feeling of nostalgia.
00:33:51
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm a little bit younger.
00:33:52
Speaker 21: Than some of the others in the audience potentially, but you know, even for me, it's just like that sort of narration of my childhood each each song. So yeah, it's great.
00:34:01
Speaker 1: Well, tickets are still available.
00:34:03
Speaker 20: It is still available through Last Ticks.
00:34:06
Speaker 1: Ye and the show.
00:34:08
Speaker 2: What a venue, to your majesty, sat I can imagine a better spot to see it. So we're going to have a bit of a tune. We've got you in the studio set up, ready to go. Shame to waste the keyboard.
00:34:20
Speaker 1: I've got all this trouble. Let's do it.
00:34:27
Speaker 22: M Goodbye, Norma Jean. Though I never knew you, and all you have the gray hastel hold yourself. Are those around crawl? They crawled out of the woodwork, and they whispered into your brain, set you on a treadmill, and they made to change in name. And it seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind and never knowing who to.
00:35:05
Speaker 2: Cling to when the rain set in Haro, I would have liked to have known you. I was just a kid.
00:35:16
Speaker 22: The candle burned out along before the legend ever did. The loneliness was tough, the toughest role you ever played. Hollywood created a superstar, and fame was a price she paid. And even when you died, all the press still handed you. All the papers had to say was that Marilyn was found in the news. And it seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind, never knowing who to cling to when the rain setting. Hannah would have liked to known you.
00:36:17
Speaker 2: How I was just a kid.
00:36:21
Speaker 22: Your candle burned out alone before your legend never did. Your Candle burned out alone before your legend never did.
00:36:40
Speaker 2: What a wonderful rendition. Terrific mate. And to you Warrick, thanks so much for coming in guys.
00:36:46
Speaker 20: Fantastic And I'll tell you what a song like that when you hear it with the orchestra over the top, spin sounds like Benny and the Jets and Daniel and Rocketman and Candle in the Wind. They're just beautiful tunes and it sounds fantastic.
00:36:59
Speaker 1: What's saying yesterday?
00:37:00
Speaker 2: Can everyone my parents' generation, every single person had that Best of Elton John record with him holding the cane on the cover.
00:37:06
Speaker 1: No incredible.
00:37:06
Speaker 2: So many of these songs on that album say look all the best for the rest of the tour. Guys, going to be a great nights Saturday. Thank you so much having us.
00:37:13
Speaker 5: David Penberthie and world Goodings five double a Breakfast seven after seven.
00:37:18
Speaker 1: Good morning to you if you're joining us for the very first time on this Wednesday, the twenty fifth of June, six months to Christmas. Don't have to wait that long to get a gift this morning. We're going to carol it smart dial to give away in the next twenty minutes. All you had to do is call in if you hear your birth years spun up when the wheel gets a spin in the next twenty minutes. Then after that, this is going to be fascinating. Adelaide City Council Lord Mayor Jane Loa mack Smith is going to join us, talking with us for the first time since the decision was made to take decision making regarding the North Adelaide golf Course out of the City Council's and also the head of the Port Adelaide Football Club and the Essay Tourism Commission, David Kosh, is going to join us. I mentioned the Tourism Commission deliberately because they're going to release today. They're Plan twenty thirty and with a target of boosting total visitors spend by thirty percent and notably increase elevating South Australia into a third position on the list of Australia's preferred domestic holiday destinations. That's their goal in the next five years, we'll ask Koshi, but we're still languishing near the bottom. For whatever improvements we've had off the back of Live and Gather around, it feels like we actually get all the foot traffic then, but at other times people aren't that still aren't that interested. So we'll talk to him about that challenge and that lofty target before eight o'clock this morning. If you thought it was wet yesterday, you're.
00:38:38
Speaker 5: Right, Joseph rain fell in twenty four hours.
00:38:40
Speaker 21: The weather stay in at least a year, and for some of those locations has been two or three years since they had a daily amount of that magnitude.
00:38:50
Speaker 4: And it's not letting up.
00:38:51
Speaker 1: There's another's yeah, there is plenty more of the ways. We heard from the Bureau a short time ago. It's also been raining f bombs on the program this morning on the Tech Slawn as we debate what the what role the F wood has in modern public discoos, following an exasperated US President Donald Trump talking about his ceasefire being broken yesterday me hours after it being an out.
00:39:14
Speaker 7: Do you mean that iron through the need.
00:39:16
Speaker 17: To see you?
00:39:17
Speaker 5: I do.
00:39:18
Speaker 7: They violated, but Israel violated it too. In Israel.
00:39:23
Speaker 14: As soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped the load of bobs the likes of which I've never seen before, the biggest load that we've seen. I'm not happy with Israel. You know when I say, okay, now you have twelve hours. If you don't go out in the first hour, it just drop everything you have on them. So I'm not happy with them. I'm not happy with Iron either, But I'm really unhappy if Israel's going out this morning because the one rocket that didn't land, that were shot perhaps by mistake, that didn't land, I'm not happy about that. You know what we have, We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long.
00:39:59
Speaker 7: As so hard that they don't know what they're doing. Do you understand that?
00:40:04
Speaker 1: Obviously not beat when he said it to reporters as as it was about to head off to the NATO summit. His level of exasperation I think shared by a lot of people in the West when it comes to dealing with issues in this part of the world. The good news overnight is that the the ceasefire seems to be holding at the moment. Following a stern conversation that follow that between Donald Trump and Benjamin Ettina, who so far so good, let's hope he's right. Fascinating chat about the F word. You made the point in the first hour, David that it feels maybe a little bit like this not your watershed moment and is right to say, but it was.
00:40:40
Speaker 20: It was.
00:40:41
Speaker 1: It was a watershed moment. So Norward have done almost the impossible. Listener curses and here we are.
00:40:51
Speaker 19: We haven't looked at the moment he Duncan, you would almost didn't get the play this, David.
00:40:55
Speaker 7: How do you feel out?
00:40:57
Speaker 2: Is great?
00:40:59
Speaker 1: This was national Sorry about that.
00:41:02
Speaker 2: So that was Mark Aston interviewing Norwod's Duncan Fosdyke after the Legs had beaten Poor in the nineteen eighty four Grand Final, when he said it feels effing fantastic that they had beaten the maggigs. That was beamed out on live television here in South Australia and became a massive talking point for coming days. I think our text line is split almost right down the middle with people who say that they swear, that they have no issue with swearing, that they have no issue with what Donald Trump said, and a lot of them have been jokingly sending in all sorts of reworked quotes from history, eg, mister Gorbachev, tear down that effing wall. Thank you for that one, Rob. But a lot of other people are saying that we have to.
00:41:44
Speaker 1: Hold the line and that I've been surprised how few texts we've gone so in that. To be honest, when I first started doing radio, if you did this topic, it would have been a wall of text saying this is a sign of Laurel decline in the world.
00:42:00
Speaker 2: Well, there's still a lot that are saying that. Jay in Rosalind Park says, if we are basing what's normal on what Donald Trump does and does not say, then we are in real trouble.
00:42:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's a common about it. That's a comment about Donald Trump.
00:42:11
Speaker 2: There's a few that that put it in the Trump context, but others such as Helen and Going Along North. Helen says, it is completely unacceptable the F word. My mother used to say that if you cannot express yourself without swearing, do not speak at all.
00:42:24
Speaker 1: But did she try to break a piece in the Middle East?
00:42:27
Speaker 2: I don't know.
00:42:27
Speaker 1: She probably have as much like as Donald Trump is. I think that the you're right.
00:42:34
Speaker 2: Thirty years ago this is a there's a uniform acceptance that it's not on that it's completely unacceptable, But now it has it has shifted. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, is the subject of the debate, and as Terry and Henley Beach says, where does it end? I mean, what's what's the end point?
00:42:55
Speaker 1: Well, that's a venue swear words, because there's not so many more I can think of after that, a couple of others. Well there's one big one, but even that's becoming more common. Well that it shouldn't it is?
00:43:06
Speaker 2: I mean, I know, but it is. Yeah, yeah, I don't know in these days of AI. I was watching it last night. I rubbed my eyes and I checked on Fox, I checked on C and if it was real, I've got the same thing. That's right, it is genuinely extraordinary.
00:43:22
Speaker 1: Your thoughts coming through. Have we crossed across the rubicon when it comes to the F word? Have we've got the US President saying it? The reporters and the context of broker in Peace eight double two three double O double an Texas on zero before eight zero, eight thirty ninety five. The premiere yesterday, as we forecast in our program, was in Whale and to make a significant announcement there. In part it was to open the thirty million dollars upgrade Whaler at t Whaler Airport, which would be significant but also to it made the point that the whaler still works now is officially on the market. Have a listened to the premiere yesterday.
00:43:52
Speaker 15: The new phase of the sale process to ensure that Whiler doesn't just get.
00:43:57
Speaker 2: A new ownership, but gets the right new ownership.
00:44:00
Speaker 13: Are big countries that are interested outside of Australia and come from India.
00:44:03
Speaker 2: Japan and Korea.
00:44:05
Speaker 23: It's our hope and expectation that while there will need to be additional amounts of funding, it won't miss there be the volumes of seen in the past.
00:44:13
Speaker 1: So okay, let's unpack this a little bit. I thought it was for sale the whole time. Silly mate. Now the previous strugg of somewhat trumpet tone yesterday saying major steel companies from Australia, Japan, India career accord to the tisers reporting, have emerged among at least thirty interested parties, which is all good. That said, that's tempered I think somewhat by him saying it's going to need additional funding because it's going to take longer than presumably the end of the year timeline that they were originally aiming to have it sold in which we've.
00:44:40
Speaker 2: Got to be careful. We don't get played for suckers here. Yes, the private buyer goes, if you can just get it right in ship shaped working order, then we'll buy it off you. That would be great, because you know, they're not just getting the they're not just getting the steel works.
00:44:55
Speaker 1: They're getting all of.
00:44:56
Speaker 2: The minerals as well. Yeah, and that's where the money comes from to make a stack of money.
00:45:01
Speaker 1: Out of it.
00:45:01
Speaker 2: So why should why should for an asset that, in its totality is going to make a lot of money, Like, surely the taxpayers don't have to do all the dirty work fixing it up, and then the private operator comes in right at the end when it's schmicking perfect. The equivalent should have to do a bit of work, the equivalent.
00:45:21
Speaker 1: It feels like, now there's a house for sale and we're being told there's a lot of interest, but we just need to we just need to put on a patio, a pool. We're going to we're going to we're going to add a little extension that will involve a second level and some and some landscaping. And once we've done all that, oh boy, you wait to see this thing, sou Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, interesting how the people local eve into I think yesterday one of the other issues that is of concern, based on reading the reader's comments, which I always do because they're they're they're illuminating in the online coverage on the TiSER, A lot of people are going, why do we have to sell it to an overseas operator? Again, why can't it stay in Australian hands? Why can't Bluto significant impediment would be lack of interest or capacity. Maybe it's worth more than they can afford in a capital expenditure sort of sense.
00:46:15
Speaker 2: I saw some comments that I thought were quite silly, with some people going, oh, well, we're going to sell it to another Indian. There's nothing innately dodgy about the people of India, Sanje. It's like saying I wouldn't sell it to an Australian because of Alan bond, Like there's no genetic sort of propensity for being shonky on account of being from the subcontinent. You know, this other Indian operator sounds like a wholly reputable bloke. There's no different from if it's a Korean operator or a Middle Eastern operator. Separate from the point though about why not keep it in national hands. But you know, let's not smirch every good person from Mumbai or wherever on account of the conduct of Sanjefi.
00:46:58
Speaker 1: And can we just put this, Let's just make America great again. Donald Trump, who was all about rehoming industrial capacity in the United States, just approved the sale of US steel to nip On Steel, the Japanese company. Okay, the greatest protector of domestic industry in the Western world just went, you know what the best deal is for US? A Japanese company actually comes in and takes this over.
00:47:28
Speaker 2: Well, correct, I might end up actually making more money.
00:47:31
Speaker 1: Now, there are stipulations on that sale that make that they are a significant part of this. But maybe we could do something similar here. Anyway, that's getting into the new ones. Let's get into the feelings on the ground whaler. The mayor of the Wyreler City Council, Phil Stone, joins us on five double a breakfast. Phil, Are you feeling buoyed by the Premier's comments yesterday regarding interest in the steel works?
00:47:52
Speaker 8: Oh? Certainly, boys, good morning. We've been expecting that. And pardon my voice, I'm one of those that have come down and with one of the winter allergy a lot of it about I guarantee at this hour of the morning, as much as I love talking to you guys, it's not the best for warm me at the moment. The apologies there, but look, we have been buoyed all along by the work the administrators has done and are doing, because it's not about getting to a perfect state at the moment, it's about at least getting it to an efficient level where they've minimized the losses and they've done a lot of work there is to stabilize and enhance the operations. The fact that they've taken on seventy five new employees across a range of areas within the works, They've reinstated apprentices and they are now looking at another twenty seven apprentices coming on in the new year, which is fantastic. The fact that we've also had resources on the ground appointed by the premiere to work work with all the contractors making sure the people that can claim can get money as a result of the issues are being paid. We've always seen that it is going to be a long process, because as you said, it's not like just putting a house on the market. It is a very complicated situation and the fact that as I said, from the outset, the administrators have been really pleased with the number of genuine potential buyers as well as those others. Yes, it is going to take that extra time, but as you've just said, and listening to the Premier, then this isn't just about selling a still works. It's about selling the future because they're going to have to meet certain standards whoever the buyer is. And we've got no idea how many may be overseas, how many this robster talks about names within Australia being linked with a sale. So it's still a lot of optimism and confidence as the way the process is going.
00:50:00
Speaker 2: Great stuff, Phil Well, do'ne with the voice too, mate, have a couple of strips of market. Get well soon, Phil Stone, the Mayor of Whale. I think the good thing is that when the rumors were running thick and fast when the bail art happened, and in past conversations that we've had with Phil and indeed with the Premiere, the question was are we going to be able to find a buyer? So good to be in a position where we appear to big sport for choice and going.
00:50:27
Speaker 1: From the progress, Yes, but a lot of the initial celebration of the Malanowskas intervention followed this idea that it'd be sold by the end of the year, which is now looking like a pretty heroic assumption. Six months still Christmas, six months still Christmas. Be nice Christmas present for the state and the people away it would be, wouldn't that be good? All right, let's check traffic. We'll come back with more. Just a moment. Enjoy your outdoor area all year round with an opening and closing roof design manufactured and installed by Loubouse, David.
00:50:55
Speaker 5: Penberthy and World Goodings. Five double a Breakfast.
00:50:59
Speaker 1: Twenty four minutes after seven, twenty fifth of June, six months to Christmas. We're reflecting on the six months that have just transpired, and Sharon and Chandler's Hill has got a story about the best thing that happened to her in the first six months of the year. Sharon, what was it?
00:51:13
Speaker 4: I finished treatments for brain cancer?
00:51:16
Speaker 7: Oh wow, yeah, fifteen months.
00:51:18
Speaker 1: How are you getting on now, Sharon?
00:51:20
Speaker 10: I'm doing well, no visible sign so working on the abilitation.

The Lord Mayor Jane Lomack Smith will be our guest.
00:53:48
Speaker 5: David Penberthy and Will Goodings five double A Breakfast.
00:53:52
Speaker 1: Twenty three minutes too ay. David Kosh coming up very shortly on five double A Breakfast. He's the head of the Tourism Commission, of course, in addition to his other jobs in compare the market and indeed the Port Adelaide Football Club, and they've got a big dat data Tourism Commission with a bold plan for twenty thirty that would seek to increase international airline travel to Essay by almost fifty percent. Huge number, but beyond that elevate SA and a third position on the list of Australia's preferred domestic holiday destinations.
00:54:21
Speaker 2: We asking me how you do that? Before eight o'clock well and truly down the bottom at the moment. Plenty of work to be done. There plenty of work to be done when it comes to redeveloping the North Adelaide golf Course as well to get it live ready well. As a result of the tactics used by the state government, the Adelaide City Council looks like it's going to play no part in that, or at least that would appear to be the government's intention with the special legislation had announced last week. The announcement was made when our next guest was actually out of the country, representing South Australia overseas, the Lord Mayor of Adelaide, doctor Jane Lomack Smith, Lord Mayor, good morning and thanks for joining us. We would have had a plenty of time on the plane on your way back home thinking about what the Council's next step is visa vis this special legislation.
00:55:09
Speaker 24: What do you do?
00:55:09
Speaker 1: Do you fight it or do you just cop it on the chin?
00:55:13
Speaker 24: Well, obviously I was pretty disappointed because we had done everything possible to collaborate. I don't think anyone could criticize the council. We'd agreed to support the aspiration of the government. I don't think anyone likes major events more than me. I was enthusiastic about helping and we leant over backwards, not just to come up with every minuscule piece of information, because of course we've looked after that land for over one hundred years. We know the ins and outs of the topography the land, the soil types, where the irrigation is, where are the important trees are. We've got maps and studies and goodness knows what else. And we even went to the stage of saying, these are the bits of legislation that are in place that have to be complied with, and this is the route that the way to get through those tasks. We put together a map for the government. So we were really disappointed that all that came to nothing. And it's worth saying that none of those hurdles were anything to do with the Council. We were nothing but supportive. The hurdles were all put in place by the Parliament to protect the park plans. So I'm disappointed that we couldn't at least get to the stage of having an MOUs. Why do we want an MoU Well, this is in the middle a residential area, and we wanted to make sure that the operating schedule allowed us to keep roads open and facilities going. It's right next door to a hospital. There are a lot of issues that we need to deal with in terms of how that part of the park plans relates to others. We'd hope to have a lease. And I know people are suspicious of the Council, but many people are more suspicious of the State government because the Council has always looked after the parklands and prevented it being gobbled up with major development.
00:57:03
Speaker 13: Do you think they llowed me that could have worked together?
00:57:06
Speaker 2: Yes? Do you do you think Lord Mayor that despite the fact that you, as Lord Mayor and largely the councilors as well, you have been open minded, you have been constructive. But there have been plenty of instances in the past where the Council has been a bullwalk against progress and change. So do you think that you're basically copying it for the perceived past sins of the council.
00:57:27
Speaker 24: Well, I think that people misunderstand the process of democracy. I mean there's always an argy barging council about They are always extreme views and as Churchill said about the United States. You can always rely on America to do the right thing, but only after they've had to go at everything else first. And you know, it's a democratic process. People get into council, they say daft things, they say sensible things, they say wise things, but sometimes they're extreme and crazy and you have to actually allow that debate. But at the end of the day, in this case, we were pretty reasonable. You know, I thought we were on track to form a partnership and making sure that it could work. So I'm disappointed. Now where do we go from here? Well, there's no point. I mean, this isn't about me. It's about the city. And I'm still really concerned that the way this may operate will be difficult. We don't know how many buildings are going up. We don't know if roads are going to be blocked. We don't know if Memorial Drive will be closed. We don't know how we're going to get to the bits of parkland, the eighty percent that remains because we still have to maintain the lake and the bits of parkland around. We don't know who will operate the process, and I just feel that we've been obviously, say sidelined.
00:58:45
Speaker 2: But I'm not well, that's what they want to do. I mean, that's what that's the legislation is. That could be instead of being called the special legislation, it could be called the sidelining legislation. Is that your reading of it that you are effectively you don't no longer have a seat at the time when it comes to the management of this part of the city.
00:59:02
Speaker 24: I think you're right, and I think that I trusted the premiere and he's been absolutely upfront about no permanent fencing, a public course, minimal tree loss, and that's all good. But the question of how it will operate, and that there's one clause in there that says we will be consulted. But we get consulted over the motorsport board site in Victoria Park, but that can be fenced off and disrupted for five or six months. We would have liked to have thought that we could limit the fencing and limit the disruption to the local residents. We'd also like to think that when our assets are being taken away from us, there'd be some form of compensation. I don't want to sound venal and greedy, but the people of Adelaide, the ratepayers, have invested hundreds of millions of dollars into that land. We own property and materials that have been, if you like, confiscated through this bill, and it does seem a bit heavy handed as fecial.
01:00:04
Speaker 1: What kind of compensation would you be after.
01:00:07
Speaker 11: Well, I think that if you're.
01:00:08
Speaker 24: Going to take the investment we've put in, you have to recognize that we have made a loss and the people of Adelaide have invested in that land. I think that obviously we're not investing large sums of money now, but every year we've put millions of dollars in. We've kept the price of the golf course operations really low for the public, so we haven't made as much profit as we might have. I just feel that it would be it would have been better. I would preferred, let's say, if there had been a long term lease and that would return to us at the end of the lease. As other developments are in the city parklands, and that's how it's operating in many other building sites that have been built, whether it's a swimming pool, various places that once you put legislation in you change the whole dynamic of the parklands. Obviously, I'm a part plan of enthusiasts. Obviously, I feel really strongly about the part plans and want to protect it. But I just thought that in this case we could have compromised found a cooperative way forward, and I couldn't see it at any stage that we weren't able to do that. I mean, I was disappointed, as you can hear from my.
01:01:21
Speaker 2: Own Just finally, Lord May you said before you trusted the Premier. Do you still trust you now?
01:01:25
Speaker 1: Yes or no?
01:01:27
Speaker 4: Yes?
01:01:27
Speaker 24: I trust him to keep talking to us, and I would like him to do so, because the City Council is just the representative of this really the capital city, and it is no more important relationship than the City Council and the State, because we are the most important asset the state has with a window on our economy and our regional areas, and we have to work together and I'm absolutely committed to doing it.
01:01:55
Speaker 2: Doctor Janel makes me thanks for joining us this morning on five double A.
01:01:59
Speaker 1: Fifteen minutes watching an extraordinary video of a tree removal that's taking place today. A massive tree fell over at Old Tapley's Hill Road at Glenelg North for about four pm yesterday. It fell into a property. We might have some of it on the Facebook and news live stream back down the road from the Brighton we do right now. You see it's fallen back towards a property. It's probably it looks like it's probably destroyed the fence. It's just a giant piece of tree. Our very own Jonathan Edwards has been there for five to blow breakfast this morning and he spoke with Paul from tech Tree.
01:02:28
Speaker 12: Sa.
01:02:29
Speaker 5: We we're here at.
01:02:29
Speaker 15: Glenelg North on Old Tapley's Hill Road and I'm with Paul.
01:02:34
Speaker 7: You've got the massive task of removing this huge tree.
01:02:37
Speaker 5: Tell us do we know what time it came down last night.
01:02:41
Speaker 25: Early evening and probably say about six o'clock yesterday evening.
01:02:44
Speaker 8: And to paint a picture obviously radio this huge pine tree has missed this lovely house by centimeters.
01:02:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, correct.
01:02:54
Speaker 2: A bit of a miracle really.
01:02:55
Speaker 25: I mean if you were to try and fell this tree, you would be hard pushed to London in a better position without doing any damage, serious.
01:03:02
Speaker 2: Damage and brought in a crane to try and get rid of it.
01:03:05
Speaker 7: This is going to be a huge operation.
01:03:07
Speaker 25: Yeah.
01:03:07
Speaker 2: So we've got twenty tons city.
01:03:09
Speaker 25: Crane and we'll pick that out in pieces. Stop pilot, make all the footpath safe and yeah, and then come back.
01:03:18
Speaker 1: And clean it up.
01:03:19
Speaker 7: And in terms of the last couple of days, you guys have been flat out.
01:03:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, flat out.
01:03:23
Speaker 25: It's a bit of a never ending circle when these winds come and we just end up getting the cleanups and keep going.
01:03:31
Speaker 1: Really, it's an extraordinary video and terrific work by johnno there to bring it to everyone on the Facebook and YouTube live stream this morning. You can see someone walk next to the root system and it's as big as as a full grown adult, you know, lying on its side. It's just a massive tree. If it had fallen much to the to the right of where it fell, it would have probably crushed the entry to the house. Just remarkable. The divot that it's left in the side of the road.
01:03:57
Speaker 2: As we look at that blike standing next to it, it'd be one hundred and eighty hundred ninety centimeters tall. And the root ball is almost up to his shoulder, yes, a root and the root ball is not fully out of the ground.
01:04:10
Speaker 1: Helen on the text line says, God, I normally walk along there. Well, Helen, that's a good thing you weren't walking along there late yesterday. All right, let's chick traffic that looks like it's being sorted out of the line of the A terrific job there, traffic, thanks to the great people at loub House. Enjoy your outdal area all year round. You're right far out with an opening enclosing groof design, matter of factured its stored locally Ya loub House.
01:04:31
Speaker 5: David Penberthy and Wild Goodings five double a breakfast.
01:04:35
Speaker 1: No, but it's the way David Kosh in justin moment should we do a couple of texts in the meantime before eight zero eight thirteen ninety five, but a feeling about the chat with the Lord Mayor.
01:04:43
Speaker 2: Look, I got to say I really like Je Lome Max Smith, but I think and the overwhelming view on the text line is, look, however reasonable you've been, Lord Mayor, You guys have got form.
01:04:57
Speaker 1: It's the chickens coming home to roost moment, isn't it?
01:05:00
Speaker 18: It is?
01:05:01
Speaker 2: It is, And it's a big Saudi funded chuck in the form of live gold. But look, overwhelmingly it's messages like these from Adam guys. I'm really glad the Adelaide City Council aren't involved. They do nothing but slow progress down. Barry and Bowden says the same thing Colleen says about time the Council pulled their heads in the block so many other projects. I mean, I think things like the Crow's Headquarters and also the v Eights. I mean, we're that absurd situation last term of council where there was a what I thought was a perfectly reasonable idea to have an RV parking on the parkland so that people could drive from all over Australia to enjoy the vights, Red rag or bull stuff. For the council, it's almost like the old joke about daily mail readers in the UK that the people who live in fear that's somewhere, somebody somewhere is having a good time.
01:05:51
Speaker 24: You know.
01:05:51
Speaker 2: There's this sort of you know, haughty sort of peer through the lace curtains idea, the sound wave concerts making a terrible racket. They're copying it for past obstinates. And the view on the text line is that Maley did the right thing and the Council shouldn't be surprised that this has happened and never.
01:06:18
Speaker 5: David Kosh on five Double a Breakfast, Big.
01:06:25
Speaker 26: David Koshi Today with his SA Tourism cap on because the South Australian Tourism Plan twenty thirty is going to be announced today. Some big targets in this plan, boosting total wizard of spending by thirty percent, aiming to increase airline travel into the state by fifty percent, and this is huge, trying to elevate South Australia into third position on the list of Australians preferred domestic holiday destinations. Koshi, good morning to you. It's a pretty bold set of targets you've got there.
01:06:57
Speaker 4: It is a bold set of targets. Fellows, good morning to you. But it is a set of targets and we've got to stretch ourselves and get to when we love South Australia, we love the tourism industry and the operators working in it. But I must admit when I when I took on the job as as Chair of South Australian Tourism Commission, I was pretty stunned that South Australia ranks sixth out of eight states and territories as a preferred destination for Australians to holiday in. And now that is that, that's the harsh reality that we don't play finals every year in terms of the tourism game. And when I went through all the statistics and the data, I said, look, we've got to start acting like a disruptor, a challenger brand in terms of tourism because you know, tourism isn't isn't a cost to the States. It's a big revenue generator. And I reckon and all of us would have a friend or a relative that works in the in the visitor economy and it's a big generator of jobs. That also helps with getting people to move to Adelaide to work and to grow. So you know, we need a bit of a different mindset and shake things up a bit.
01:08:23
Speaker 2: Because she has gathered around and Live changed it or we still were still sitting at a six or even worse prior to gather Around and Live, No.
01:08:32
Speaker 4: Stits still at six and on the current data. Live and gather Around have been fantastic for our profile in terms of putting South Australia on the map. But they're a bit of a sugar hit for those weekends people come and go. The challenge for us is to make them stay a bit longer, even if it's night or two nights or a week, and we've got to invest in the tourism industry and the visitor economy in South Australia in experiences and accommodation. We've got to be investor friendly. The other statistic is that compared with the rest of the country, investment in tourism is pretty low by comparisons, So you know, we've got to get better accommodation, a more diverse accommodation. We've got to invest in experiences like you know the golf playing the lid Golf Championship Course as a public course in Adelaide along the Torrents, but that will be that will be a great anchor tenant in Adelaide for golf travel, which is huge because they also like their wine. So Lunge is to build these iconic magnet It's like the Cube of McLaren Vale, like Southern Ocean Lodge in Kangaroo Valley in Kangaro Island. But these are iconic sort of travel ten ones in the Barossa and Maclaire and the Flinders Rangers and then the visitors will come.
01:10:25
Speaker 2: Well, you're gonna have an ambitious target if you're going to change anything. David Cosh compare the market economic director and the chairman of the Port Adelaide Football Club.
01:10:32
Speaker 1: What do you think, folks?
01:10:33
Speaker 14: Eight?
01:10:34
Speaker 2: Double two three double o double A. Just thinking, if we're going to hit third on the list of tourism destinations, we need to beat one of the following Oolaroo, the Sydney Opera House and the Great Barrier.
01:10:47
Speaker 1: Reef do we do it?
01:10:49
Speaker 4: Well?
01:10:50
Speaker 1: Are what are the top two?
01:10:51
Speaker 2: I'm thinking I'm thinking that if you ask people over said it, but what are the top two? Well?
01:10:56
Speaker 1: There there, I don't know.
01:10:58
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, what is it about South Australia that we can promote to international visitors as being more exciting than U laru seeing the opera?
01:11:07
Speaker 1: A look at a rock? Go outside, you can see a small rock.
01:11:10
Speaker 2: How should our technical people just start trash talking?
01:11:14
Speaker 1: I think so? Stretch Dog all of them opera house.
01:11:17
Speaker 2: Opro rubbish? He likes opera ran over budget. You want to see a building that ran over budget and cost the old Stager money. Just wait till we see the Women's and Children's hospital.
01:11:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly. Some on Thatson we going to ask Steph Mulligan about that. Maybe that's the strategy. Stephen Mulligan and it's coming up after eight thirty this morning. Nineteen forty five was the year that saw the end of the Second World War, the only time in human history where atomic weapons were used in combat. And also it's the year that Monica in Forestville was born. There's one self a care Alert smart dialer for being the first caller through born in nineteen forty five. I don't know what part of the year Monic was born, Probably a peacetime baby. The carrol It Smart Dolly your home care package through my Age Care or the nda is to get a carrelert for free, visit Carolert dot com. That are you, David.
01:12:06
Speaker 5: Penberthy and world Goodings five double a breakfast.
01:12:10
Speaker 1: Seven minutes after eight breaking a coming up in just a moment. The sun is up, but it's still going to be windy out there. There is a severe weather warning in place for people in parts of the Mount Lofty Ranges, the Mid North, Kangar Island, the Murray Lands, the Upper Southeast, the Lower Southeast and Flinders Districts. Damaging wind gusts possible about elevated ground and the Southeast coastal fringes from early in the morning rug.
01:12:31
Speaker 2: Up, folks. He's as cold as charity out there. It is not warm at all, and it's going to get colder too the weekend because there's not going to be any cloud cover because it's going to be sunny. But I think we're going from minimum of like five.
01:12:43
Speaker 1: You know, it's twelve point six at the moment technically, not like it's for much of the rest of the week.
01:12:48
Speaker 2: I doesn't feel like, yeah, I was.
01:12:49
Speaker 1: Gonna it's the windshill factor for much of the rest of the week, Like twelve is going to feel like the midday maximum. So from Saturday through till Tuesday, the overnight low will be somewhere between five and six, half of what it is right now.
01:13:05
Speaker 2: You know the good news they will. I've got a presciuto bone in my fridge. Dave the butcher, I knew you were excited. He lined me up with half a presseudo bone, and I've been soaking some white beans overnight. Minnestroani, it's minnestronie time, folks. I'm glad we landed that plane. It's start for breaking down.
01:13:37
Speaker 1: The euphemisms abound.
01:13:40
Speaker 2: We've done a lot of work the past few days, led by our great mate Daniel at Nova Gardens who shared his genuine tale of woe about the neighbors from Hell, one of whom is currently absent on account of being in Yatler. His house was fire bombed last week. Totally unacceptable state of play for public housing tenants in South Australia who you have to put, in some cases genuinely appalling neighbors. And we asked the question yesterday when we had the Housing Minister on in what I think it's fair to say was a pretty poorly received interview by our listeners. Why is it that, at a time when people cannot get into housing, are we extending the generosity of what seemed to be permanent tendencies to people who have actually broken the law so frequently or so badly that they wind up in prison. Well, the Opposition's had a rough old week off the back of that poll over the weekend, but I think on this issue they have actually got some sensible ideas for change and that's why now we want to talk to the Shadow Housing Minister, Michelle Lensink about what the Libs would do differently. Shadow Minister, good morning. Clearly there are huge problems in the system. We saw what happened in Gilberton last week. But in the specific area of people who break the law, what would the opposition do differently if it were in power.
01:15:00
Speaker 27: Yeah, so, look, people can be evicted from their properties, and my view is that they're not being evicted enough. We asked the Premier about this in question time and he's sort of kind of going softly softly, saying you can't just go around evicting everybody all the time. My view and my view when we're in government, as the minister, I have no tolerance for this sort of behavior. Its housing trust is something that's a privilege for people, and most people who are in public housing appreciate it and look after their places, and so anti social behavior impacts on other good tenants and other general neighbors as much as anyone. So we know the anti social behavior rates have gone up by twenty five percent after they'd gone down under us because we've been really clear about the rules. We said, you break, the rules, will give you you know, might even take you straight to the tribunal for eviction if you doing anything illegal. On top of that, we all they had patrols at some of the most notorious sites where you've got large numbers of properties in the same area, flats and those sorts of places, and that also led to a drop in bad behavior. So it's really important to make sure that we're doing everything we can to keep tenants like Daniels safe, but also to prevent property damage because you know, so it's obvious that when there's anti social behavior and properties being set on fire, and those are properties that aren't available to all of the people who are on the Housing Trust waiting list, particularly Category one, which is now four thousand people instead of three thousand people. And in my office we deal with people all the time who are desperate to get into some form of housing, living in cars and tents and the like, who would be really really great tenants, but they have to wait for properties like these to be fixed up. So you know, a stitch in time saves nine and so we're calling on the government to reinstate these patrols that we had operating at about eighteen sites around I think mostly metropolitisan at Adelaide.
01:17:11
Speaker 2: Do you think, all so Shadow Minister, that we should look at or that the government should look at changing this arrangement whereby if people go to jail their tendencies are kept intact so that they've got a house when they get out, because you know, for a black light, Daniel, I mean the house next door has already been fire bombed. Once you Almo's got burned to death last Sunday, not for the fact that his guide dog saved him, he might be brown bread. Do you think that we err too far on the side of generosity in that case?
01:17:39
Speaker 27: Oh, look, i't Yes, I agree. I think there is this tendency to sort of label people as needing support. Some certainly do, but some quite frankly, you know, and everybody understands right from wrong. I mean, who doesn't understand you don't set fighting a property or stick your fists through wall. I mean, that's you know, pretty basic stuff. The other the issue is that people who are evicted from public housing, if they've engaged in anything like this, are allowed back in after twelve months. We've already said that we think, you know, they should. We should be looking at making people repay the damage before they're allowed back in. Because I've got people who work for the Housing Trust who are whistleblowers who told me that that is just driving them completely crazy, because that's the policy at the moment, and they just have to let people people back in after they've destroyed places.
01:18:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely good stuff. Michelle Lensink, the shadow Housing minister, thanks for joining us for breaking an eight.
01:18:36
Speaker 27: Yeah, thank you very much.
01:18:39
Speaker 2: I know that has been open season on the opposition, opposition, and rightly so, because they've had it. They've had a few shockers on a few fronts, and clearly the poll suggests that they are sort of, you know, limping towards the abyss. However, one thing I would say, that story of Daniel came about from his local member, Stephen Patterson, making multiple visits to his high He was there most of Saturday, you know, on his on his on his weekend. He contacted me, just looking at my phone.
01:19:09
Speaker 1: Saturday.
01:19:10
Speaker 14: Are they.
01:19:13
Speaker 2: Middle of the middle of the day on a Saturday. I had a long chat to Stephen Patterson on a Saturday afternoon. He was the one who said, look, this is actually a problem we should shine some light on. So you know, they're not a.
01:19:22
Speaker 1: Total right off. That's that's effective opposition, that good position. Because these stories come to line. I'll tell you what too.
01:19:30
Speaker 2: You want to know what government without good opposition sounds like it was Nick Champions interview yesterday, Blardi Blaodi Blar, John Howard bloody Bloody Blair. Category one, Category two. That was Hello, wake up, mate, you're on air. You're on air about an issue that affects our listeners and they should be labours people, blue collar people in lower socioeconomic areas. You know, it felt to me like that interview sounded like a man who spent far too much time hanging around with the sort of lang walkers of this world to talk about, you know, how we put up more skyscrapers and not enough time thinking about people who live in areas like Nava Gardens, people who live in areas like Salisbury, people who live in areas like hack and West. You know, you you owe these people the respect of treating these issues seriously, and you didn't yesterday.
01:20:20
Speaker 1: Yeah. It's not a matter of procedural tedium. It's a matter of there was almost a sort of weariness in his life.
01:20:29
Speaker 24: Yeah.
01:20:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's one of those, you know, logistical issues. No, it's people not burning to death in their own homes. This's kind of an emergency. Let's go to some of the park. Chris's call in morning, Chris.
01:20:41
Speaker 13: Good morning fellows, How are you good things?
01:20:42
Speaker 1: Chris?
01:20:43
Speaker 13: That's shot A more concerns are those trees down Brighton. The gum was planted from over right up Brighton Road to Seacliff On about a meat a wide meatings right in the middle of the main road. My concerns are that one day someone's going to be badly injured or killed from those trees falling out. It's been a few that have been removed already, but there's probably not a day goes by where I don't drive down Brighton there's branches on the side of the road being picked up and moved. You know, let's use that F word. Whoever they thought about putting those trees down Brighton Road needs needs to have a good look themselves made.
01:21:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, yes, that it was a bit of a warning shot, wasn't it. I actually reckon?
01:21:26
Speaker 2: Like from from an arbors perspective, I think a lot of people who know trees would talk about how significant trees the worst place to plant them really is in the middle of a medium strip because even though those trees are big, they don't have a massive tap route that goes all the way down, does all the heavy lifting on its own. They have arterial roots that fan out. If you've got two lanes of bitchumen on either side of one of those trees, logic would tell you that its root structure is not going to be as good because it doesn't get that water.
01:21:57
Speaker 1: Patricia and Glen Elk's called in on Housing Morning.
01:21:59
Speaker 28: Patricia, Yeah, hard guys. I've seen some dreadful things in housing trust areas, and I've also seen people who've lived there for many years, like an artie of mine, and I think you mentioned relatives David at one stage who lived there all their lives and treated as so their own home and had beautiful gardens and all that sort of thing. My daughter lives in public housing. She has an intellectual disability and it's built for purpose over in what is it was Oakland's Park and I think it's now called Oakland's Green And I don't know whether anyone except were driven in there, but they're virtually it's flattened to the brown. All of the Housing Trust houses have been pulled down, and I mean where my daughter is. This purpose built and that's managed by Access to Place, which looks after disability housing, but it is an arm of the government and that's fantastic. I'm question is and before that, and she's been there for about seven years, it was absolutely disgraceful.
01:23:07
Speaker 4: You know, it was just a slum really.
01:23:10
Speaker 28: I mean there were some places that were looked after. I think some people have bought some of those housing Trust houses and it must be terrible if you were living in one of those adjoining ones and your side is being looked after and the other side has been trashed. And you know, when my daughter first went there to live, a friend of mine who's some in law or son or something, was with the Star Force and he said, you know, we go, there's more calls there in that area with you know, trashing them, whatever goes on, and it's terrible to think that people. You know, I listened to the jam Beasley story the other day, the one down here and near me, down.
01:23:50
Speaker 13: At Gluorg North or wherever it is.
01:23:52
Speaker 28: I mean, people shouldn't need to have that sort of thing going on next door to them, and yet it is.
01:23:57
Speaker 8: Let go.
01:23:59
Speaker 28: And I just will say other season, Stephen Patterson is fantastic. I mean I live in his lecturer and he come, he goes to the call of everything. So you know there are some good libs and he's certainly a very good politician and all the call.
01:24:16
Speaker 24: So yeah, that's my comment.
01:24:18
Speaker 1: Get on your patricianski for calling, and we do appreciate that eight double two three double O double OW is the number of for your thoughts and comments on any issue and indeed, at any time if you want to win tickets to get along to see a rocket Man. We got that that great rendition of Caitlyn the wind, Candle in the wind just before seven o'clock this morning. A lot of our listeners love well as as was discussed in the interview, imagined that with the backing of her full symphony orchestra, we have a whole stack of doubles to give away to the show Friday night, June twenty eighth, This Friday night at Her Majesty's Theater, we got four. And the way we're going to give aways this after the break, I'm going to play a little snippet four seconds, four individual seconds of Elton John songs. If the first four correct identifications will take four different songs, four different songs. If you get one, you get a double. The next person gets a different one.
01:25:09
Speaker 2: They get a double. Crocodile rock is not in it either. Rock is not in it.
01:25:13
Speaker 1: Okay, so get calling now if you want to get along to see this wonderful Elton John show with the Symphony Orchestra. Eight double two three double O double is the number. First, though, we're going to check traffic and we'll come back and do it in just a moment.

Speaker 1: Twenty five minutes after rate. This Friday night, the twenty eighth of June, Rocket Man Elton John Orchestrated is on at Her Majesty's Theater, and we just so happened to have four tickets to give away right now to listeners. The task is simple. We've cut together a mash up of four Elton John songs. If you can identify one correctly that hasn't been previously identified, you are off to see the show this Friday night. So let's play the mash up and then we'll get to our listeners to see how many we can correctly identify of these four songs. All right, Ben and Hawthorne. Can you name any of the songs.
01:26:15
Speaker 17: So?
01:26:15
Speaker 8: Can I listen to it again? No, I remember the first one.

Speaker 2: This is a good one.
01:28:44

01:29:02
Speaker 1: Wreck You're rocks the show on Friday night.
01:29:05
Speaker 19: We got.
01:29:11
Speaker 1: Magnificent work signs, aren't they. It's just seventy minutes. It's harder doing with someone like Hilton because people think I'll have it stab at one of the big ones, because that's what we do, and there's just so many big ones.
01:29:21
Speaker 2: The thing too is like so many hits written in such a short space of time, Like he's just so prolific, amazing.
01:29:28
Speaker 1: That was sensational. Enjoy the show. We enjoyed having the guys in the studios before seven o'clock this morning to talk about it coming up in a moment, the Treasurer Stephen Mulligan went across the doctor's strike and also we've got some feedback on a piece we did yesterday with regard to ambulance call out times and a pedestrian that was hit in the city that I think you're going to be interested to hear. Stick around David.
01:29:46
Speaker 5: Penberthy and World Goodings five double a breakfast twenty minutes.
01:29:50
Speaker 1: Then I went across to the doctor's strike. This says moa doctors striking up seeking a bit of pay deal with a state government. It's started in the last ten minutes and will continue throughout the morning. We will be crossing live to that very very shortly. In addition, we've got an update to a story we brought you yesterday with regard to the time it took for someone who had been hit by a car on King William Street and the city to be taken to the Royal Adelaide Hospital. We suspected the time this is going to be one of those instances where nothing to see here. Hitting benchmarks is a very different The public have different benchmarks than health. Yeah, I think we'll do that in a minute.
01:30:31
Speaker 2: The expectation here is it learned to love the benchmark people because it's it's what's regarded as acceptable.
01:30:37
Speaker 1: In the meantime, the Treasure of South Australia joins us in the studio. Stephen Mulligan. Good morning to you with you. Great to have you in, mister mulligan. What's Jim Chalmer's up to?
01:30:46
Speaker 2: There's all these different summits and gab fests and symposiums on the horizon. The GST is the GST on the table. Do you think it should be on the table?
01:30:58
Speaker 23: Well, I absolutely think it should be on the table on the basis that we can't continue with this arrangement that WA is getting a massive free kick every single year and the federal government's currently paying for it. But when that temporary top up runs out, the rest of us are going to pay for it. And if you want an idea, how much that is This year WA is getting an extra six billion dollars at the same time that they've just come through their massive royalty boom, and last year it was five and a half billion dollars. Now every other state and territory around the country would love an extra, you know, eleven odd billion dollars. And if we keep this regime up, it means that over in the West they're going to have a state which is unlike anything that we would see elsewhere around the country.
01:31:43
Speaker 1: You know, their services will be better there. They've got a system. Their budget plus correct me if I'm wrong. Wasn't it two point five bill Yeah?
01:31:52
Speaker 23: Yeah, they're they're chalking up surplus after surplus in the billions. Their debt position is massively improved compared to the rest of us mere mortals and it's because they're getting all of this cash. So you're seeing us here in South Australia, but also particularly New South Wales and Queensland, say we can't keep on going like this. I mean, we take a pretty pragmatic view in South Australia. The original deal that was reached between the Howard government and here in the Olsen government.
01:32:22
Speaker 1: Is a good deal.
01:32:23
Speaker 23: It's the way in which the federal governments try to support the states since the nineteen.
01:32:26
Speaker 1: Thirty So now the problem is the mechanism by which they would change the WA deal, is it not. Do you think it would be potentially more politically palatable for WA if the rate was increased and therefore the total revenue was raised.
01:32:43
Speaker 23: Well, this is where you start seeing politicians falling away from each other because everybody's rightly worried about the impacts of increasing the GST tax, right because the people who pay the most amount of GST proportionate to their income, of course, are people on the lowest income, So increasing the GST has a massive impact on those people who can afford it the least. I think the focus has got to be on how we distribute it, and we can't continue this, you know, this current situation where the huge windfall gains are going to the state that need it the least, while those states that need it the most are continuing to miss out.
01:33:22
Speaker 1: What was the argument in the.
01:33:23
Speaker 2: First place for Western Australia getting more or was it one of those Ross Kelly type things where somebody needed to win five seats at the time.
01:33:30
Speaker 1: Well, I think, you know, I think there's a shade of that.
01:33:32
Speaker 23: I mean, wa' has got this bizarre put upon mindset that's existed for decades. You know, they always feel like they're half a step away from seceding out of the federation because while it is us, and of course nothing could be further from the truth. I mean, they've got the bulk of the country's mineral resources on their side of the border, and they've been making hay while the sun shines in that respect for decades and decades. And then on top of that, they confected this outrage that, oh, you know, while we're getting billions of dollars of unbudgeted royalty surges, it means that our GST receipts are going down obviously because they don't need them. So we've got to fix this system. So we always get, you know, a high bar of GST plus we get all the benefit from our role.
01:34:15
Speaker 1: Wasn't it just a down couple of years with like iron ore price as well, So it looked for a small period of time that they weren't getting the bang for the buck they had and they felt that they were being dealt with because of the GESS. It's a lagging factor, isn't it. So they were getting less because the previous years had been really good. Then they had a couple of down years and that then they made the argument. But then of course things ticked back up again, and now it just looks absolutely ludicrous.
01:34:38
Speaker 2: Well that's right.
01:34:38
Speaker 23: And you know for states like South Australia and Tasmania and even now Victoria, that three year period over which they make these calculations, it means some years it goes up and some years it goes down, and you cop it because you know, overall it's a fair way to distribute the GST. So I mean, we had a little boost in our GST revenues in the budget that I handed down a few weeks ago, but our share actually went down because some of it was redistributed to some of the eastern states, in particular Victoria. But you know, we caught that because we realize as part of a federation, you know, we want a fair way of distributing these revenues to make sure that the quality of the roads or the schools or the hospitals is the same no matter where you go around the country. What we're now seeing is the quality of everything is better than Western Australia than anywhere else around the country, and that is not a recipe for a stable nation going forward.
01:35:30
Speaker 1: Will I asked youbout some comments of the Premier made yesterday in Wyala with regard to the steel works there officially up for sale. Now that all sounded very positive. He alluded to the potential that there might need some further support down the track because of the timeline being or blowing out beyond what was originally expected. And I had to look at your budget papers this morning. Four hundred and five million dollars being spent on the support package this year, four hundred and sixty five million dollars the next year nine, It drops down to ninety one million the year after that, then one hundred and two, then forty million in twenty nine, the very last of the our years, for a total of one point one billion dollars. Now, obviously the federal government's paying a component of that as well. So I mean, are we going to see some sort of revision required for next year's budget potentially in terms of the support or is it further down the line. And I mean these are massive sums of money. What are we talking about in terms of what's going to be required to sustain this for even longer.
01:36:24
Speaker 23: Yeah, it's a good question. So when we handed down the budget, I was pretty upfront about the fact that we budgeted for having to spend another six months of administration costs if it's required. So when we announced the whalless support package at the beginning of the year, we budgeted and announced funding for six months of administration. The advice from the administrators has spent. The state of the plant was so die on the amount that needed to be spent on it to bring production back up and also to make it more saleable was greater than what was expected. So we've had to increase that allocation. So you're right, in those first two years we've got an amount that could get us through to twelve months of administration. Hopefully that's not required, but if it is, we've got it there. And then those other funds from the state to get the plant, to invest in the plants alongside a new owner and alongside the Commonwealth to make sure that this is going to be a productive, cost effective and profitable still making enterprise into the future. Well, just to do it on the specifics of that then and following them from the Premier sead yesterday saying it might need some extra money. Are you and he on the same part. Are you saying that it will be contained within that one point one billion dollars so long as it doesn't exceed the twelve months of administration or is that going to have to be topped up or is the administration potentially going to be longer than the twelve months extra that you've a budgeted for. Yeah, so I think the Premier is referring to the fact that we have budgeted to extend the administration period from six months up to twelve months. And then, of course the extra money that's required is the funding package that's been announced from the Commonwealth and the State to improve the plant as well, because we realize that the plant's not productive or saleable as it is without that investment. I mean, some of the technology is many decades old, and if it's going to be profitable into the future, it's going to need the most contemporary equipment. So we've made those allocations. We're expecting one of these bidders to also come in and make a significant investment alongside the governments too.
01:38:22
Speaker 2: Treasure we're going to be talking before nine o'clock with Sasmala about the Medico's dispute. There's industrial election underway today. My understanding is that the government has increased improved its offer to the medical workers. They've been demanding ten percent a year over three years. Are you worried about the impact that these pay claims could have on the budget bottom line because there's a lot of spotfires across the public sector right now.
01:38:54
Speaker 4: Yeah.
01:38:54
Speaker 23: Absolutely, And we're making really good progress with other enterprise groups across the public sector, negotiating in good faith, making sure that we stay around the table until we reach a deal that's a good outcome for the workers and fair and reasonable for the taxpayers. But I think no one expects that doctors, particularly doctors who are already amongst them the highest paid in the nation, need a thirty percent pay rise. We've listened to SASMOA and we've agreed with them that the trainee and junior doctors are not amongst the best paid in the nation, that they've been lagging behind the other states. So part of our improved offer is to give them a huge boost at the beginning of the offer, at the beginning of the three years, to bring them back up so they'll be amongst the highest paid in the nation. But you know, we've got many doctors, hundreds of doctors getting paid between half a million and one and a half million dollars per year each just from the taxpayers. And on top of that, they've got their rights of private practice to expect that we're going to give them a thirty percent pay increase, where the pay increase over three years is somewhere between two hundred thousand dollars and six hundred thousand dollars just as a pay increase per worker. I mean, it's completely beyond the pale of what would be offered either in the private sector or anywhere else around the public public sector.
01:40:09
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people are dream of earning two hundred and sixty k full stop, with the lad of being their pay rise. Steve Mulling and always great to catch up. Thanks for coming in. We're talking to you in siding.
01:40:17
Speaker 1: Thanks so much. All right, let's check traffic. Enjoy your outdoor area all year round with an opening and closing roof design manufactured and installed locally by Luba House, David.
01:40:25
Speaker 5: Penberthy and Will Gooding's five double a breakfast six minutes to night.
01:40:29
Speaker 1: We mentioned the says MAA doctors striking this morning. It started at eight thirty. Mikayla Kamarak for seven News is at the scene. Mikayla, good morning. Where are they striking and for how long is it going to go on for?
01:40:40
Speaker 10: Yeah, good morning guys. As you said, they've stopped work this morning eight thirty. It's thing intercontinental here in the city. Is it's spot to go for just out over an hour, they've essentually convened discuss the government's latest payoffer. Now that offer is a ten percent pay rise spread over three years, and it would also include a four thousand dollars base way to increase for the state's most junior doctors. Now it's a significant increase. It will take an intern salary to more than eighty eight thousand dollars. Well, a senior EV doctor could see their pay rise through to six hundred thousand dollars. Now being in has already described that offer this morning as woefully inadequate, and members are expected to reject it when the meeting does wrap up in about half an hour. About they want a thirty percent pay rise over the next three years, so ten percent each year, and they've already hinted at further stripe action in the coming months. If the government doesn't consider their needs now, Singion does in his patient safety won't be at risk this morning, and if further stripe action goes ahead, it also won't be at risk. But how that all plays out still remains rome.
01:41:47
Speaker 2: No thank you for seven years their kidna themselves. It's a staggergan. No one's getting a thirty percent pay rise. That is a total ambit claim trial. And given what some of them are on, I mean criikee, as the Treasurer said, if the pay rise itself is two undred and sixty grand. To use the great line from the Castle, get your hand off at.
01:42:08
Speaker 1: Darryl speaking of healthcare yesterday, I would just replay a little bit of mail we got yesterday because we've got a response and I think you'll find it intriguing.
01:42:18
Speaker 2: We've been told on good authority that she waited for more than thirty minutes for an ambulance to turn up in the pouring rain. She was lying in the middle of King William Street after she was hit. Now we understand that an intensive care paramedic in a car arrived within fifteen minutes to make sure that she was okay, and mercifully she had despite being injured. The injuries were non life threatening, but it took more than half an hour for an ambulance to arrive from the rah less than a kilometer away, so she had to lie on the road. Sapole and MFS crews were called in to try and cover the victim with a tarp, so she was left lying on the road for more than half an hour in the rain before an ambulance our Ie Evan with a stretcher became available.
01:43:07
Speaker 1: And I think I made the point yesterday during that segment that I bet this hits every benchmark except the public advictation. Yeah, except the public expectation. So we did get We've got a quote from the SaaS who so they received a request for attendance at a priority to incident Audelaide. A highly skilled intensive care paramedic was probably dispatched and arrived on the scene within thirteen minutes, which is ahead of the sixteen minute target, okay, which is what we said. The care was provided an ambulance to assist and transport the patient arrived at seven thirty eight, so that's twenty six minutes later, twenty six which is not half an hour twenty sixth minute day?
01:43:42
Speaker 11: All right?
01:43:43
Speaker 1: Cool? And then they arrived at the Royal Adelaide at seven fifty eight, so it.
01:43:47
Speaker 2: So to forty six minutes to get the one kilometer trip from middle of King William Street to the raft.
01:43:54
Speaker 1: So the people that witnessed this said to us it was just jarring to see emergency services people there were not We were talking fierys and a first responder standing there with a tarp over someone hanging around nine hundred meters from a hospital after being hit by a car. And it's taking that long. But statement from sa Ambulet Services that is the system working optimally. Well, get used to it. That's the benchmark.
01:44:17
Speaker 2: Craig on the Medico's dispute makes a good point about entry level staff. He says after seven years of intensive study and intern gets eighty k a year, what a joke, go hold a traffic sign after a short course and more.
01:44:29
Speaker 1: Thank you for that, Craig. All right, we're going to round out with a fuel watch this morning. It's better to be a member with RAA roads service. Cheap spots creeping up now, it's cheap if you can get unleaded hundred dollars sixty so the Liberty Seaford Main South Roads at a dollar fifty nine point five, the United Wingfield Grand Junction Road dollar fifty nine point four diesel mid to high sixties. Now the best is the Liberty at Port Adelaide ssin Vincent Street. Always good there, dollar sixty four point five. The Liberty McCracken heinmarsh Row dollar sixty nine point nine is not too bad in the circumstances either. That is all from us on the Wednesday morning stick around for Graham Goodings. We'll catch you tomorrow morning from six David
01:45:04
Speaker 5: Penberthy and Will Goodings five double a breakfast
