Speaker 4: Live from Heine Marsh Square.
00:00:16
Speaker 5: It's five double A Breakfast Deevid Penberthy and Will Goodings.
00:00:21
Speaker 4: Height after six good morning, tell you welcome to Wednesday. On five double A Breakfast the twentieth of May, we're going to reflect on the Saturday night that was for the Western suburbs after six thirty because Richmond Oval is in a state of disrepair, so much so they've had to move the fixtures this weekend to no longer when they're playing South at all grade levels. We're chatting with the CEO of the Sample, Darren Channer. It's a serious story. It's not like sampful clubs a flush with cash. So what happens when all your facilities get wrecked we'll find out after six thirty there before seven o'clock. Poor old regional TV viewers are going to miss out. Channel ten is going to disappear from their screens and some major major population centers right around the country, but indeed here too, in South Australia. We'll be chatting with the Loxton Wakery District Council Mayor Trevor Norton about that before seven o'clock. We've got a big seven before seven. I think that's gonna be a lot of fun. SA power networks are finally announced. You know those pesky power outages on the York Peninsula they always say are about pollution. They're about environmental pollution, not sort of you know, gas spewing out the top of you know, someone burning tires pollution, but just sand and so forth, mucking up insulator. They're going to spend ten million dollars to fix the problem, hopefully finally for our people over there on York Peninsula. And also shun Fust is going to join its big, big chat with Sewn today. James Lasakas unveiled front page of the Advertiser this morning. We're seeing him for the very first time. This is peculiar. We've never seen him before. David Penberthy, good morning to you, Good morning listeners. Good morning. Will pollution all around, sometimes up, sometimes down pollution? Are you coming to my town? Do you know what that's from?
00:01:59
Speaker 6: No, the young ones, it's Rick's angry poem about pollution and in Facts of Britain it's act Yeah, well this is it s a power networks.
00:02:09
Speaker 4: I've never prayed for a solution to work more than this.
00:02:12
Speaker 6: Well it was just so monotonous and you know people in Rossen and Maitland and Neat like.
00:02:17
Speaker 4: It was just bakery we kept speaking to.
00:02:19
Speaker 6: Yeah, just constantly losing money with no compensation, like it's sort of an act of God.
00:02:26
Speaker 4: I don't know, God invented power lines that didn't work for insurance purposes. Apparently did. Maybe they were invented on the day that he was resting by someone else.
00:02:34
Speaker 6: It was that it was the less spoken about Eighth Day exactly. Yeah, poor old West He's this is this is terrible, Like you know, I actually think there's been There's been a lot of clubs that have had a lot of a lot of love over the last few years, and obviously my club is one of them, largely due to the diligence and professionalism of it. Of its board made a lot of money to get themselves out of the pulpit stirt. But Norwood is absolutely superb had that big upgrade as well. The bay was damaged by the storm. I'm not sure where things are at. Well, the Bay haven't actually been in the bay for about three years, but the Bay's got pretty decent facilities function.
00:03:22
Speaker 4: Yeah, and the.
00:03:23
Speaker 6: Great bar, the ground floor bar absolutely superb. Alberton well Alden's Ports training ground now to the extent that they're a legitimate s a NFL entity anymore, but the actual facilities and club has started at what if West He's done wrong? Well that that Oval has been neglected so badly, and all those other projects I mentioned a lot of them got state and federal funding too.
00:03:51
Speaker 4: So it was just as you were talking, I was wondering where do they sit? Where does Richmond Oval sit? Is it in a safe seat? But you want to be in Nor, you want to be an Unley. These are all really have been very marginal seats. Not to get too politically cynical about the whole thing, Well that that that is part of it. Yeah, that does affect it. Heine Marsh be in the federal federal seat of Marsh. It had been Keats seat, wouldn't it seat of West Turrens. West Turrens I think not very safe seat. Yeah, it's the safest labor seat is what it was prior to the last election and probably still is.
00:04:27
Speaker 6: It doesn't do you many favors as a local sporting club being in a safe seat, that's for sure, But.
00:04:31
Speaker 4: They've always been a bit unloved. I reckon West, I think that's fair. I think that's absolutely fairy. You do we have any Arsenal fans listening an anti climactic way to win the Premier League, But you've won the Premier League? Any have the Gunners fans out that they have? In the last fifteen.
00:04:46
Speaker 6: Minutes was that because of another result, Manchester City drew with Bournemouth. They needed to win to keep the English Premier League alive going into the final fixture, so they now trailed by four points with one game to play. But Arsenal a totally foreign concept in Australian sport, the idea that you could win the Premiership and you're not at a ground, you're not with the fans, you're not all together to celebrate. I'm sure they will get together. It would have been nice last year in the AFL.
00:05:15
Speaker 4: What's that?
00:05:16
Speaker 6: Well, if whoever came top at the end of the season was the Premiere that would have been an excellent result the best team of the year start from the eight quarters of.
00:05:26
Speaker 4: The finals we've played.
00:05:29
Speaker 6: But yeah, I mean it would have been boring, wouldn't it.
00:05:30
Speaker 4: How would that have played out last year?
00:05:33
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm just gonna look at the draw. I can't remember the last game of last year. I can never remember anything about.
00:05:39
Speaker 4: Would they do it? They do it really well in all the European Continental and I'm sure in South America too, with the foot of the soccer leagues, where generally they'll change the fixed string for the last round, so every single game at the same time, so they don't do we need to make sure we maximize our t TV revenue thing. We will make sure that no results will be known if it comes down to the last day. The problem is you can't fixture for the reality where someone so far ahead it get sorted out one or two games before that, three games before that or whatever. It might well be. Any Arsenal fans listening that stayed up waking up to the news, we'd love to hear from you eight double two three double double O or textas on zero four eight zero eight thirteen ninety five. So the Crows they.
00:06:19
Speaker 6: Needed to beat North Melbourne last year to stay in front of you along on the ladder. But the remember that really unconvincing win was awful. Yeah, that and the West Coast win both really ordinary. They were warning.
00:06:30
Speaker 4: Signs those games. Hey.
00:06:32
Speaker 6: The other thing I'd like to know, what now will you be all over this like a cheap seat and we can we can provide a more detailed explanation later.
00:06:41
Speaker 4: But are the Collins.
00:06:42
Speaker 6: Class submarines Like if you bought an sl commodore A nine to eighty three, which by rights now should really be at a Lonsdale wrecking yard, it's got four hundred and eighty thousand k's on the clock. Yep, it's got a new carby the head cracked at least once it's been you know, the pattern. Had to go and get that remade and bolted it back together. The tires of ball, the horn doesn't work, the steering, all the foam handles rubbed off that and you go, I reckon this got the old girls still good for another two decades?
00:07:18
Speaker 4: Is that sort of feels like that, except if you had eleven billion dollars to spend on it, you might get a little bit more extra mileage out of it. The life what what you're talking about is what they call the life of type extension, which is a big project that I think will be undertaken in Western Australia, so this will be a big story there. They've scaled it back significantly, but you're right in terms of at the age of these these vessels. So I think the second ship laid down was the farn Cam and I think that's the first one that's going to get a life of type extension from my brief reading of the papers yesterday. So that was laid down and it was commission should I say in nineteen ninety eight. It was first launched in nineteen ninety five. This is thirty year old years old technology ninety nine. No, it was it was commissioned in ninety eight, so it came into service ninety but it was actually launched in nineteen ninety five. They started building it in nineteen ninety one. This is the second one, by the way, there's an older one than that, but this is the one that I saw was getting a life of type extension. But they've scaled bat I've only been working for these ships have been sailing since then. Now they're going they've been they upgrade the software and some of the weapons systems and so forth here and there. But some people have said it's you know, the sort of but it made me think. Tell us about something you've done up or restore? Yeah, something you've kept, you've kept going.
00:08:34
Speaker 6: Would you like to have a crack at a Colin's class submarine if you've got room in your shp it's a great idea.
00:08:38
Speaker 4: You need a love of big shed. Does anyone have anything in their house that's been working for longer than the Let's go to the first Colins class submarine. It was It was launched in nineten ninety three, so.
00:08:51
Speaker 6: That's the same year as my beach bus at your beach bus full of character.
00:08:56
Speaker 4: Four hundred and five thousand dollars. I don't own it anymore. It's a sad development.
00:09:00
Speaker 6: I gave it to my next door neighbor in return for a bottle of vodka exact.
00:09:05
Speaker 4: What a deal, folks. What do you have in your house that's older than the oldest Collins class submarines that just got a life of type extension that will see them operating through the next decade. Before we get that, let's go to Nathan at Angelevale, who is a I imagine, very very excited Arsenal fan this morning, Nathan, congrats to you.
00:09:25
Speaker 2: Thanks guys.
00:09:25
Speaker 7: I didn't think it had happened this morning. I thought it was going to come down the next week. But they got through, and then there's Champions League in two weeks time.
00:09:33
Speaker 4: But of course you do could get the double, pretty historic double and absolutely many.
00:09:38
Speaker 7: Years of running second and it's good to the beat City effectively.
00:09:44
Speaker 5: Well.
00:09:44
Speaker 4: Yeah, the other thing too is on the.
00:09:47
Speaker 7: Last game of the year in the Premier League, every game is played at the same time. Yeah, which started a few years back, so that would have been interesting if it was next Monday morning, next week twelve thirty outside.
00:10:01
Speaker 4: Had you become an Arsenal fan?
00:10:02
Speaker 6: Nathan, I read Fever Pitch Oh great book, great book, and he's.
00:10:09
Speaker 7: Run great mother books too, But yeah, I've read that and then just coincidentally, that's when they were quite dominant. So yeah, I just started finding my son.
00:10:17
Speaker 4: Follows them to oh, well he's come into it. He hasn't had to go through all the pain you had to go through, Nathan, But.
00:10:24
Speaker 7: Adelaid supporter at the moment, there you go.
00:10:27
Speaker 4: Did you get up to watch Man City and death ride them. Nathan, No, I was well, I was.
00:10:32
Speaker 7: Up early, but I was watching it on my you know, checking the scores, getting ready to go to work. So but yeah, we yeah, it's good, good for the club.
00:10:40
Speaker 4: For the league. Yeah. Absolutely, good on you, Nathan. Love hearing from long suffering sports fans who finally get a taste of success. It's always it's hard not to feel happy for people. Good on you, Nathan, Absolutely eight double two three double O double Oh is the number getting some good texts through from people who have kept things in the house running as long as the Colins Class submarine, which for the beau of this exercise we're saying, is anything that you owned pre say nineteen ninety three, say mid nineties that's still operating is sort of of the same era as a Colins Class sub So if you've got if you've got a nomination for us eight double two three double O double is nable.
00:11:21
Speaker 2: Knockdown build two with metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment. Metro homes.
00:11:27
Speaker 4: They do it all for you.
00:11:29
Speaker 5: Deevid pen Birthy and Will Goodings five double A Breakfast.
00:11:34
Speaker 4: Twenty three after six the first Colins Class sub was launched in nineteen ninety three. The subs have got a life of type extension means they're going to be operating in the twenty forty. So we're asking you this morning, what have you got at your place that you might have done up tin, could weather improved, maintain or have you got that you still use that dates back to sort of the mid early nineties. How does it compare to a Colins class sub? Frank could prospect. Good morning, Good.
00:12:01
Speaker 1: Morning, gentlemen. Well, I bought a double bed sleep Haven in nineteen ninety two because I was starting to see a woman and you can't see a woman with a single bed. So and I'm still sleeping on it.
00:12:17
Speaker 4: Oh, Frank, will you have it into the twenty forties do you think? Frank?
00:12:22
Speaker 1: Oh, I'll be pushing it because I decided that if I leave by one bedroom unit as Prospect, then I will just get one eight hundred drunk and get rid of quite a bit of stuff.
00:12:36
Speaker 4: Yeah, fair enough, good on your Frank. Let's go to McGill. Patricia, Good morning, Oh, good morning.
00:12:41
Speaker 8: Yes, I've lived in this house since ninety three. It was built in sixty eight and I still use every day the Malleys hot plate, which was definitely there in nineteen seventy.
00:12:55
Speaker 4: Has ever let you down, Patricia.
00:12:58
Speaker 9: Never let me down.
00:12:59
Speaker 8: I replace a knob, but no, I use them every day.
00:13:02
Speaker 6: Amazing things were built to last back then, though, and that's terrific.
00:13:06
Speaker 4: This is given me renewed faith in the Colins class submarine project. Kaz In prompted, good morning, Hey, kaz you kaz Oh, I don't have kaz Let's go to Margaret. Good morning, Margaret, Oh, good morning.
00:13:20
Speaker 10: Mine's slightly outside of that date range, but I was put through anyway. So I've got this calculator that my eldest son got when he was at thirteen. It's the Sharp calculator and you just pop it outside in the sun to recharge it. I use it basically every day. It's a sharp calculator, and I use it every day because it's really it's one of those ones where you can go really fast when you're adding up. You know, it's very efficient. Anyway, my son was thirteen when you got it. He's fourteen this year. It's twenty seven years old, and it's perfectly fine.
00:13:51
Speaker 6: I can remember the advent of the solar powered calculator in the in the late seventies was like a wooll marveling at it. Yeah, school just amazing. A lot of people talking about hi fi equipment. Sharon says she got a Segno.
00:14:08
Speaker 4: Three and one record player, cassette player and radio at John.
00:14:11
Speaker 6: Martin's in Arndale for one hundred and twenty nine dollars in ninety seventy eight and it still works.
00:14:16
Speaker 4: That's excellent, Kaz. I think we've got your back now.
00:14:18
Speaker 11: Yeah, there was some weird strength talking on those I have a Sunbeam Mini Mixed Portaball Pro from nineteen seventy that my mum got and it still works, and it's got I've got its original box and it's I've got its original recipes.
00:14:37
Speaker 4: Fantastic. Good on your cares. We won't take one more. I've got my grandma's mincer.
00:14:42
Speaker 6: You still use it a handle one like a cranky bolted under the bench and go ye make results of it.
00:14:47
Speaker 4: Bloody excellent, Andy and Henley Beach, good morning, while a lad hey andie hey, right, that's what blowyer Maine.

00:15:03
Speaker 4: What's that? No? The windows, Oh, you have to give them a week clean. That's the hard bit, Thank you, Eddie. Thirty degrees outside at the motorhead for top of thirteen points sorry, heading for the top of twenty today. What was I saying? It feels like thirteen point seven, So thirteen at the moment head for top of twenty zero to two millimeters of rain on the forecast over the course of the next few days. It's going to be twenty Just no, it will be twenty today, twenty tomorrow, twenty the day after that, and twenty the day after that, with maybe a drizzle around. But we should have a couple of reasonable days ahead. Tom Rens in the five to Blawe Breakfast Studio, there's been a huge price drop on the new Mitsubishi Ax from thirty four nine ninety drive away Augustine and Mitsubushi, Nilsworth and Wilson Lakes. Morning. Do you ready morning?
00:15:47
Speaker 14: Will morning?
00:15:47
Speaker 4: David?
00:15:48
Speaker 14: Yeah, Look, momentous morning in the World game. There's a few topics I want to get to. But first off it is that Manchester City they scored and equalize a late ninety fifth minute, but it was too late. They needed to win the game against Bournemouth. They were five points behind. They had two games to play, so I had to win to make it two points the margin with a game to go. They didn't. This is out finished up against Bournemouth this morning.
00:16:10
Speaker 4: Y much longer he's left here.
00:16:13
Speaker 15: That's it.
00:16:14
Speaker 4: There is the full time whistle.
00:16:16
Speaker 14: The title race is over and Arsenal are.
00:16:21
Speaker 4: The champions pep quality. Others team have.
00:16:25
Speaker 14: Fullman shorts in their pronuncimate game with the campaign, so it's a one all draw that audio. Thanks to stand Sport, Arsenal champions first time twenty two years. It's been a long time coming. I've got two or three very good mates to are Arsenal fans long suffering. They've been given so much grief about being the bride'smaids and never quite getting their perennial chokers.
00:16:45
Speaker 4: But they've done it.
00:16:46
Speaker 14: They've won it and now they're in the Champions League final as well, so they've got the luxury being able to rest their entire squad this weekend and then play against Paris Saint Jermain, which will be exceptionally difficult, but they could do the biggest double. There is now heard that named Pep Guardiola. Why that's quite topical at the moment is he's about to lead Manchester City. He is probably in the top three or four managers of all time. He's been there for ten years. He's won seventeen major trophies twenty if you want to count Charity Shields, but six Premier League titles, four in a row, Champions League, FI World Cups, Club World Cups. He's won FA Cups, He's won League Cups. They've won two titles this season, the FA Cup and also the League Cup. His legacy is amazing. He learned from Johann Krauf, who you would have heard of, who was the great sort of author of total football, exactly Dutch. He was the Barcelona manager when Pep was coming through playing an absolute star, and his philosophy was winning is an important thing, but to have your own style, to have people copy you, to admire you, that is the greatest gift. Now I think Pep Guardiola has done that. Issue is that's the glass half fall.
00:17:53
Speaker 16: He's amazing.
00:17:54
Speaker 14: The cynics out there say he's leaving because he wants to run away from one hundred and fifteen FA chargers that are hanging over Manchester City and the ship's about to seek about that, well, you know, breaching all the fair play rules.
00:18:10
Speaker 4: There's not a salary cap, but they're rules around because too many cups were going broke, so you can spend. There's a convoluted formula about how much revenue you make and then how much you can spend. And they have not any of.
00:18:23
Speaker 14: Them hit to any of it, so they're about potentially they could cop it like to the point where if they've capt these sanctions.
00:18:30
Speaker 4: But whether or not anything.
00:18:32
Speaker 14: Comes out last premiership, yeah, we'll wait and see Times five out one thousand and then the other big story which is just coming out in the last twelve hours or so. Southampton through to play them in a Championship final playoff spot, so the top two sides go straight.
00:18:48
Speaker 4: Through the richest game in football, they say, richest.
00:18:50
Speaker 14: Game in football, third through to sixth playoff for the final spot. They're into the final match to try and come up. They've been thrown out of that and Middlesbrough, who they beat in their poff match, have been reinstated because they've been caught spying, so sending spies to training. It's a big penalty in now. The thing is they've done it not once but three times this season, so they've been kicked out and they've also said next season when you start in the Championship again, you're on minus four points. So they start with a minus four point and the game is two days away, two days away, so the biggest game. Middlesbrough having their Mad Monday celebrations.
00:19:24
Speaker 4: That's right, Middlesbrough have gone off. You know, wow is us We're missed out and now come back.
00:19:30
Speaker 14: You've got to play the biggest game of your lives to try and get promoted to the Premier League against Hull. So there is a lot happening in the world game this morning.
00:19:38
Speaker 4: Good for Riley McGray. Middlesbrough will get up. Yeah, huge, huge, good you're ready. That's fastatic stuff.
00:19:48
Speaker 2: Knockdown build two with metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment. Metro homes.
00:19:54
Speaker 1: They do it all for you.
00:19:56
Speaker 5: David Penn, Birby and Wild Goodings five Double a Breakfast twenty seven.
00:20:02
Speaker 4: The Collins Glass Submarines sit at the vanguard of defending Australia. They were built and well, the first ones were built in the early nineties. The life of type extension announced yesterday means they're going to be running into the twenty forties. We wonder what you have at home that we might have been that dates back to the nineties or before that's still running today. To try and give us some peace of mind about this piece of equipment, and we've got some pretty good suggestions coming through on the text line.
00:20:25
Speaker 6: I tell you what we've got all sorts here. Someone no name given still uses their original Scott Bond, a real lawnmower with the brigs and Stratton engine from the nineteen eighties. Jason says, I have an Achi Hi Fi system bought in nineteen ninety three from Truscott's in the City on a payment plan still working, finalised to buy blank tapes Trustcott's in the City, jays making all my party tapes, which reminds me I've still got my ghetto blaster that are bought in nineteen nineties, still works, still.
00:20:53
Speaker 4: Works, and I've still got my party tapes. Good.
00:20:55
Speaker 6: It's like a little voyage of discovery. Listen to those tapes because you are traveling back in time. Quentin and old Roanella says he's trying to restore his teeth. Thanks for that, lovely one. Here give your names, folks, so he can share you with love. Someone sends in a beautiful photo of their late father's boat made by their dad, handmade. He died in nineteen eighty four. The boat's called the Spirit of David. Beautiful little wooden runabout Mark in Paraka has a nineteen eighty six Toyota Sileika, no cup holders, no power windows, but it does still have the operational pop up headlights.
00:21:37
Speaker 4: And also.
00:21:39
Speaker 6: I like this one from Rick and heathpol My wife, she's still going strong, needs an oil change and a bit of tinkering from time to time.
00:21:45
Speaker 4: Though hopefully she's not listening. Thank you. He kep coming in there for zero eight thirty ninety five or two. What does need a bit of tinkering and that's West Adelaide's Richmond Noble Headquarters. That because of that remarkable reign event, which we did learn on Monday morning if you were in the wester or inner South, he had no knowledge of, but it was significant enough the rain that the change rooms and wait facilities at the Richmond Oval were destroyed. And that means that the games this weekend have moved from West Adelaide. Who are you to play South Adelaide across the grades. They've had to move the league reserves and women's games two no longer oval while the damages will fixed up. But he's the problem hasn't been assessed yet. We don't know how much it's going to cost. And as we started the program saying its someon as those Sandful clubs just have cash just lying around. Darren Chandler is the CEO of the Sandful and joins us now Darren, good morning. Do you have a sense yet of how the value of this damage as we advanced to a point though we know what's going to be required, not at the moment.
00:22:44
Speaker 12: And I'm going to yesterday, believe that a councilor are working through that with their assessors. At the moment it's a council run facility, so they have to work through that and then work out way forward and how quickly we replace operation again so you can play the play games.
00:23:04
Speaker 6: Well, what does it say about the condition that the joint was in in the first place, Darren? That a storm that you know, our house got a bit of water coming in. It was a lot of rain in the inner city. But for a building to actually be trashed this way like doesn't underscore the fact that West's are doing it tougher bit infrastructure wise.
00:23:27
Speaker 12: I look, we've spoken about this before, but the facilities at West ad later in desperateiny for an upgrade and we've been talking with the council. The club's been talking to the council and there are plans in place to do a to do a Stage one of an upgrade. Council of dedicated seventyllion dollars to the project and hopefully over time Stage two and three can be finished as well, but that's going to be significantly more money to upgrade with. It is not only for the players and who volunteers, coaches, et cetera, but also for the spectators from the data to which man aible, So there's plenty of work to be done. It's been talked about for a long time. It's great the council have committed some money to getting Staged one underway and I've seen some of the designs there and they look pretty pretty exciting for the club. So the cricket they can be done, the better.
00:24:24
Speaker 4: So we're just looking at the Facebook and YouTube life stream at the moment some of the damage that's been done. So there's a there's a long term plan for the sustainability of the facilities there. But what in the short term. Is it clear from your perspective, Darien, about who who pays to get things back up and running again now? Is it is the council indicated that they'll take care of it.
00:24:45
Speaker 12: Well, it's a council owned for Civilly as a council asset, so I would imagine they'll be worked through.
00:24:51
Speaker 4: That at the MUD But they haven't asked you guys for any cash or anything.
00:24:55
Speaker 1: No.
00:24:56
Speaker 12: There They're they're working through that with the club. So we we just want to be able to, I guess, get a temporary solution up in place as quick as we possibly can to not only not any games going forward, but West had laid I've got an elite foody program that they're running them as well for you from kids ays under thirteen right through the seniors as well as girls as well in those programs. So there's a lot of there's a lot of players that are impacted by these and not only that, the Siddeley and the iles used by other community groups as well. So you know, you've got schools using it there during the day. You know, you know, the old Seedar College program is being based out of their resource, so there's a lot of people that actually use the changers and the oval, So it has wider impacts than just the west that I put.
00:25:46
Speaker 6: I got to say Darren as an s anfil purist, there's a bit of a compare and contrast you isn't there with the taj Mahal being created with significant public money for the Adelaide Football Club only a few minutes away from this doss house that you know, there's much more community oriented than the Crows facility will be talking about community events, school events, that sort of stuff, kids training like this is a this is a bit of a damning depiction of the haves and have nots when it comes to grassroots foot I reckon, well, you know.
00:26:19
Speaker 12: There's there's no doubt about that. And this project's been spoken about for a lot longer than you know that it's deby and Ovals so but you know the week they later focused on that the council has committed for for stage one of the project. But it is over time. You know, it's a great opportunity actually the south Road works there, the fact that the oils now opened up on the eastern side, you know that between Council of state government federal government to come up with a solution that might involve some medium density density housing in and around that area. Yeah, other options to actually create a whole new, vibrant, a vibrant part of part of Richmond which is get in the long term certainly injecturate of life and energy and people into that. The suburb of Richmond around west of law FOOTA club.
00:27:14
Speaker 4: Well there's a bit of wigg room there with the land.
00:27:16
Speaker 6: You could do like the whole flank of houses called it Richmond Green sportsman people that love to come in. You can even maybe even part of the building could incorporate sporting facilities.
00:27:25
Speaker 4: Who knows, but yeah, it's well worth exploring because.
00:27:29
Speaker 12: Plenty of Yeah that's what I mean. North that later exploring that with their developments with council on the eastern side of Prospect Oval. We've just been in Perth this week and not the result was great, but the team trained to clean on Oval who has done exactly that over there, integrated housing in and around the Oval to give a whole precinct that helps the clean of footag club remain really viable. So there's really smart ways that board to integrate with the community and housing and working with the local government, state government, federal government. There should be an opportunity to comp with a great out company.
00:28:11
Speaker 4: Could you clarify one thing, Darren, So the round seven fixtures have been moved to Nordlunger. Then in round date west E's are playing Central's away. That's not going to be a problem. Round nine Richmond Oval is what currently has on the slate. Are you confident that that fixture will go ahead?
00:28:26
Speaker 12: We haven't made any decisions on that yet. We'll probably know a lot more in the next few days when we can determine the extent of the damage and what actually needs to be feds to make it safe. I mean, that's effectively the main issue is making sure that players, volunteers, coaches, people that use that facility can go in there in a safe environment. So we'll work through that with council and the clubs as quickly as possible and ideally minimize the disruption. But you know, there's a still a fair bit to work through and as before, it's not just about a league footy and here it's the city for a whole heap of people in a whole you know, from under thirteenth right through and to senior footage.
00:29:08
Speaker 6: I hope they get in there and find out it's not as bad as it certainly looks on the Facebook and YouTube livestream.
00:29:13
Speaker 4: Thank you, Darren the CEO of the Sandful, Darren Chandler. Yeah, indeed, let's head to the weather bureau. Simon Timkey is working this Wednesday morning as Simon at pretty stable sort of a weather pattern at the moment.
00:29:24
Speaker 17: I'm morning, Will morning, David.
00:29:25
Speaker 4: Yeah.
00:29:25
Speaker 17: Look, there's been a cold front move across way to the south of Essay, but it's brought us into a fairly southwest of the airstream. There have been a few light showers in that airstream this morning. I'm looking on the radar at the moment, still a couple of showers around the Adelaide area. I've got some up to the northern suburbs, a couple of showers down around no longer at the moment, so I think through this morning we'll see a couple of showers continue, but by late morning or early afternoon, I think there probably won't be too many, less than certainly by late afternoon, I think they will have all all cleared away. The totals, we've seen generally two to three millimeters about the Adelaide planes. We've recorded two point six millimeters here in the city, a little bit wetter around the hills most places, sort of picking up the order of three to eight millimeters up there. For our temperatures, we had a minimum of twelve and a half degrees at about quarter past ten, sitting on thirteen point three degrees at the moment, and expecting a maximum of twenty degrees for the city today around the suburbs twenty degrees as well for Glenelgan Nor longer nineteen for Elizabeth and eighteen degrees from Mount Barker. The next couple of days, we've got a big high pressure ridge dominating, so pretty stable conditions. Both Thursday and Friday should be dry days, partly cloudy, light winds, maybe a little bit of morning fog around for Thursday morning, and for our temperatures a little bit colder overnight, down to ten degrees for Thursday morning's minimum twenty degrees and maximum similar for Friday eleven degrees the minimum twenty degrees and maximum over the weekend. There's a cold front approaching from the so I think we'll see cloud increasing during Saturday. Should stay dry during the day. We might see a shower in the evening, but most of the day and most of the evening even should be dry on Saturday. A minimum of thirteen a maximum twenty for Saturday, but that front will most likely bring some showers for Sunday, I think, so we'll see a shower or two about the place on Sunday, a little bit cooler eighteen degrees, still one or two showers left over for Monday next week and eighteen degrees as well.
00:31:27
Speaker 4: God you, Timon, Thank you for that. Simon tim keet the weather Bureau and a tad to say. Pauls and he comes to Rebecca Stokes joins us Rebecca. Man's been arrested for robbery at Sinclair.
00:31:36
Speaker 18: Yes, so it would be lated. This man was involved in a robbery in the car park of the group of units at Saint Clair on Sunday night with a victim had a gold chain snatch from around his neck and the suspects had left in a white jeep. So about two am this morning, police saw a white cheap Suv traveling on Hanson Rate at Mansford Park and police checks revealed that it was the suspect vehicle involved in this robbery. The driver of the jeep spotted police and took off through the back streets. The car was later located parked in the driveway of a home on the Avenue at Athyl Park and police surrounded the property, later locating the suspect. The forty one year old man from Mansfield Parks was arrested and charged with robbery. He's been refused police bail and faced the pot Adelaide Magistrates Court later today.
00:32:16
Speaker 6: Rebecca Also, a stolen car has been recovered at Elizabeth Downs.
00:32:20
Speaker 18: Yes Police were patrolling the Elizabeth Downs area They're in Hamblin Road just before one am this morning when they spotted a stolen Ford Suv parked in the driveway of a property. Checks through confirmed that the vehicle had been stolen during a break in at Port No Longer on the fifteenth of May. The patrols called off the premises and approached the vehicle. As a teenage boy exited the front of the house and walked towards the car, he spotted police we spotted him and he fled on foot but was quickly located hiding in a tree in the backyard. So a subsequent search of the ford literally uncovered a sword and stolen number of fates and the sixteen year old boy from Saltian North. He's been arrested in charge with a legal use for a motor vehicle, unlawful possession and possessing a hybited weapon.
00:33:01
Speaker 4: Well a sword.
00:33:03
Speaker 6: Into that dungeons and dragons stuff. He was off to a medieval fair Rebecca. Just finally, there's a car roll over at Blair.
00:33:12
Speaker 18: Yes, emergency services were called to Upposite Road, Blair just before four thirty am this morning, but report to a single car crash. A total ute heading down the heel in pouring rain had lost control on a bend, hit a barrier and rolled onto its roof. The driver of the twenty three year old man from flag Stuff he'l Luckily he sustained only minor injuries. He was taken to hospital by ambulance and medical treatment. His UT's been towed from the scene and Blair Road has been cleared. So the Uppersteit road has been cleared of any hazards, but just the time, the reminder to drive extra carefully on the roads this morning. Our visibility was poor and conditions were quite slip free, so just take extra care.
00:33:46
Speaker 4: Yep, good reminder, Thank you for that. Rebecca scene He comes to Rebecca Stokes from sap.
00:33:49
Speaker 2: Old knockdown build two with metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment metro homes.
00:33:58
Speaker 5: They do it all for you, Deevid Pamberbe and Will Goodings five double a breakfast.
00:34:07
Speaker 4: Three minutes to seven. Remember our World Cup of South Australia continues after eight o'clock. Today. We've done places, we've done food, which means today is either going to be people or things that will face off as we work out what the best thing. Well, the best of South Australia is as part of our World Cup of South Australia right now though the top seven before seven and this has got this inspired by yesterday we were talking in the last half hour about useless statistics and our resident stats men, Ben Jordan was listening and he said, I can do better than one useless statistic. I'll furnish you with seven useless statistics. Here we go in seventh spot since records began in eighteen thirty nine. Adelaide has received ninety nine, four hundred and eleven millimeters of rain. So that means some point this year, maybe early next year, we're going to get our one hundred thousandth millimeters of rain.
00:34:56
Speaker 6: Yeah, and on that day everyone works at the weather bureau is going to wear a gold jumper and then raffle off to raise money for themselves.
00:35:04
Speaker 4: Think you were multiple jumpers. Number six spot. In the forty one years between nineteen seventy one and twenty and twelve, government spending increased by three hundred and fifty billion. This is the same amount spending has increased in the last eight years. There's a bit of inflation for you.
00:35:21
Speaker 6: Really, three point fifty in forty years, three hundred and fifty in just eight years.
00:35:26
Speaker 4: Wow. In the fifth spot. In nineteen seventy one, the meeting house price in Adelaide was eleven thousand, nine hundred dollars. If house prices had simply gone up by inflation for the last fifty five years, the meetian house price today would be one hundred and sixty four thousand dollars, which added a million dollars. It's almost ten times greater than the rate of inflation. The second census in South Australia was eighteen forty four, the population seventeen thousand, three hundred and sixty six, with only sixty two people over the age of sixty serious two people over the age of sixty it's amazing. In the third spot, there have been eleven one hundred and seven matches in the Sandful since eighteen seventy seven. The highest score was in nineteen seventy five when Glenelg kicked forty nine goals twenty three yikes. When combining the league reserves under nineteens, under seventeens in Mini League, the Bays kicked two hundred goals that day. Big day out for Glenelg. In the second spot, no you Ben Jordan to get a Glenelg stat in there complain. In the two thousand and nine Bradfield by election, nine Christian Democrats ran for Opus. They only received three percent of the vote, but got referred to as the nine Apostles and in the number one spot the legend Sir Don Bradman never batted on a Sunday, given the rest days for religious services, but his best day batting was Fridays. What did he average on Fridays? Do you think if you had to, as it a guess more than a century two hundred and forty one point five, you didn't want to have to be bowling with the dot on a Saturday. He knew we had the Sunday off obviously, so he could really open the shoulders and have a bit of fun. Ben Jordan, that was a superb seven before seven. That was great useless statistics. We're going to take a break seven the five double news is coming up. On the other side of it. We are going to be talking about one of the great companies we are profiling in the lead up to our best of SA dinner. And how about this was some good news. SA Power Networks investing ten million dollars in trying to fix up these regional power outages that are causing life to be held for people on York Peninsula.
00:37:34
Speaker 2: Knockdown, build two with metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment metro homes. They do it all for you.
00:37:42
Speaker 5: Dean big pen Burby and Will Goodings five double a breakfast seven after seven.
00:37:47
Speaker 4: Good morning too. If you're joining us for the first time, on this Wednesday, the twentieth of May. Very short that your chance to win tickets to our big Best of SA dinner that is just weeks away. Now after seven thirty Seoran Fu still beyond the program. He was part of a fight from the media in South Australia to get us pictures of James Vlasakas, who of course is currently the subject of a prole board discussion. His parole has been opposed by the state government, but his identity had been suppressed for all these years. So there are pictures of him then and now that have been released. In the ties of this morning, we'll get Sewn's thoughts on that. David Kosh, it's going to be live in this git here Koshi in the flesh this morning before eight o'clock. Lost talk with Koshi about as always and very shortly Cecilia Shutz from say Power Networks about the ten million dollars that to say pound net is going to spend cleaning up environmental pollution and replacing these little bits of technology that are to blame for the mass power outages that York Piniccua and other places which we should say too in regional Australia experience all too often before we get to that though. Professor Paul Griffin is an infectious diseases expert and joins us now in five double a breakfast and g haven't we got to know our infectious disease experts over the course of the last seven or eight years. Sadly, Yes, coronavirus, hunt of virus of course recently and now this really troubling outbreak of a bowler in Africa. Professor Griffin, good morning to you. These these outbreaks, these are bowler outbreaks, happen every so often in Africa. Is this one to be particularly concerned of given the way which it seems to be transmitting among the human population?
00:39:26
Speaker 9: Yeah, good morning. This is one we need to be a little bit concerned about, not because we need to worry about it coming to Australia, but because of the magnitude of the situation there. And this is one of the slightly rarer types of bebold. There's four different types. For the main one, we have a vaccine now that can help this one. We don't have any treatment or any vaccine, and there already appears to be a large number of cases and a large number of deaths with about one hundred and thirty three suspected so far and a lot more out there, so we certainly need to do more to try and contain it there. As I say, no risk to us here in Australia, but a big problem there that needs to be managed.
00:39:57
Speaker 16: Well.
00:39:58
Speaker 4: How is the Bowler tre transmitted? Professor Griffin yees.
00:40:02
Speaker 9: So it's not like a respiratory virus like covid or the fluid does require close contact and particularly contact with blood or body fluids, which you know unfortunate when people are really sick with this virus can be spread around the environment and if that's not managed well, we can see transmissionccurror and unfortunately there's already been some healthcare worker acquisition, which again is a big red flag and indicates that more needs to be unto manage it. So, yes, it's harder to spread than those other sort of viruses, but we are seeing enough spread there that it's a big problem.
00:40:31
Speaker 4: What was reading The mortality rate is something like fifty percent. I mean, I think COVID was less than one percent. So if you contract it, can it be treated.
00:40:41
Speaker 9: There's no specific treatment and you're right with this one. I mean, we don't have great data because there's only really been two outbreaks before. Of this one, mortality is twenty five to fifty percent. But that is in the region in which we see these cases. We think with best supportive care, it likely would be reduced very significantly, and that's why the American doctor who has it has been fled to Germany to hopefully improve his chances of surviving. But yeah, in those areas with fairly poor resources and healthcare infrastructure, that mortality is very high, and that's what basic supplies are being sent to the region to hopefully try and improve that from now on.
00:41:15
Speaker 6: Is it fair to say, Professor Griffin that E. Bohler has historically been contained to a handful of countries in Africa, But the really troubling thing now is that it's spreading to other places where it hasn't been before, like Uganda.
00:41:28
Speaker 4: Is that correct? Yeah, yeah, that's right.
00:41:31
Speaker 9: I mean the really big outbreak about ten years ago. We saw some cases in other countries like Italy for example, in the US any small numbers. We've never seen the case in Australia, but this one is concerning for a few reasons that the healthcare workers those cases, the fact that's already in quite urban areas, and the fact that there's been some cases already in the neighboring Uganda. So you know, there are a few concerning features that do tell us we need to do a lot to try and get on top of this quickly. And you know that's what the declaration of the Public Health Emergency of International Concern is all about. It's not suggesting it's the next pandemic, but it is saying that this is a big issue in that region and a lot more needs to be done to.
00:42:08
Speaker 16: Get on top of it.
00:42:09
Speaker 4: Why are you so confident about it not being an issue in Australia.
00:42:12
Speaker 6: Is that because of our distance from it, or is it something climactic where it doesn't survive in Australian conditions.
00:42:21
Speaker 9: It's more that you know, this is something that should be able to be contained in that region, and the fact that it's so severe actually does make it a little bit easier to contain. I mean, most people that get this infection are visibly unwell, and you know, quite significantly visibly unwell, so a bit less likely to hop on a plane and travel around the world. But we do need to not get complacent and make sure, we do send all the resources required to that region to make sure we understand the situation and isolate all those cases and get it under control so that we do limits spread even to those neighboring countries. But yeah, I think the risk here is very close to zero, but we certainly should do more to support the efforts over there.
00:42:59
Speaker 6: It's a wild story in Africa when you consider how intertwined Africa and Europe are through Morocco, Algeria, Tunic Year, and heaven forbid that it spread. I mean, it's bad enough that it's in Africa, but you know, for the population density, if if it spread north as well, that the human impact of it would would be even greater. Horrible story. Professor Paul Griffin, great explanation, Thank you. Outbreak the movie, Well, I think that was about a bowler, wasn't it?
00:43:28
Speaker 4: There had been? Has had a made up name for it, did they?
00:43:31
Speaker 6: But often those fictionalized global you know, species ending pandemic stories are around a bowler, about a hyper transmissive version. I mean, people are eating their breakfast, so we don't need to ren was literally going to say that we should not talk about the symptoms. It's not pleasant, but Paul makes the good point it probably means there's no secret carriers knocking around. Yeah, it does remind me of the Monty Python. All creatures great and small sketch as well. Who invented this thing and on that day couldn't make bads have rested too from spinal tap.
00:44:08
Speaker 4: Best of us say, let's turn our attention to best of us say that is sorry?
00:44:11
Speaker 6: Well, can I quickly jump in. I don't want this to be forgotten? A big thank you to all the people who have been sending in pictures of their cooking equipment.
00:44:18
Speaker 4: Yes, I can't get over this.
00:44:21
Speaker 6: We've got a Sunbeam mixed Master from the nineteen seventies and a great photo from guy in Glen Elg North of his mum's crock pot still going strong like the Collins class submarine all these years on.
00:44:35
Speaker 4: Well, I just wonder whether we've missed a trick. And as I guess, we've still got to work out who's going to build Orcus. But maybe it should be Sunbeam, Yeah, yeah, or Kelvinator or Kelvinator. People have got freezers that still work from back then.
00:44:48
Speaker 6: Yeah, just a thought. Given the running, should we do the uniform so that everyone has to dress like it is nineteen ninety three, so you know, white white linen jackets with the sleeves pushed up.
00:45:00
Speaker 4: Everyone. Can you know if you're on board that that submarine's got to dress address from the ice or like you're in Oh I forgot, I have a mental plan.
00:45:11
Speaker 6: What was the name of it?
00:45:13
Speaker 4: Anyway? Yeah? No, I like it, Senior this moment, I think there's something in that. So Friday the turf of the best of say big night. It's our fifty years of five double as well, so it's even bigger than ever before. And in the process we are profiling some wonderful South Australian businesses who will be there on the night, Like ADL Support Services.
00:45:30
Speaker 2: Today we're shining a light on ad L Support Services when it comes to community and home support. Ady L Support Services is big enough to rely on and small enough to know your name. And joining me from ADL is Lisa River. Lisa, A lot of people think that they need to wait for funding before they can access any support. What can you offer someone who needs help right now?
00:45:50
Speaker 19: Well, just like you said, okay, we know when people need support, they need it right away, and we know that often there can be really long wait times waiting for funding to be allocated. It's what we've reached developed is an option for clients or even love ones of a client to be able to self fund, whether it's just for a short period of time waiting for funding to be able to be allocated from the government, or perhaps it's a long term option to be able to provide a level of support for somebody that's self funded and self directed.
00:46:17
Speaker 2: So does that sort of give them essentially a bit of a foot in the door if they're waiting for government funding.
00:46:21
Speaker 19: Absolutely, so we get that care started straight away, to be able to get that support or be able to get that support for a loved one early on, then we think that's an ideal thing as well. And what sort of services do you offer and I think from domestic supports, so helping out with some cleaning, washing, meal preparation, right through to helping someone access the community and get out running errands, doing shopping, even supporting self care and showering and dressing and all those really important things as well.
00:46:49
Speaker 2: You are a proudly South Australian female owned business. How does that local connection shape the way that you support your clients and the community.
00:46:57
Speaker 19: We love South Australia and we're obviously really really proud to be a South Australian founded company that not only supports South Australians but also generate to work for South Australians, which I think is really important as well.
00:47:08
Speaker 18: Thanks so much, Lisa.
00:47:11
Speaker 4: Adl Support Services offer caring, local in home support, no waiting, no contracts, just help when you need it. We got a five hundred O home care package to give away right now and two tickets to our best FSA dinner Friday the twurth of June at Adelaide Oval. If that sounds of interest to you, get well. I don't even need to say get calling now, David, because there's not a phone line available. There's one thousand people calling in as we speak. Eight double two to three double O double O is the number.
00:47:39
Speaker 2: Knockdown, build two with metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes.
00:47:45
Speaker 5: They do it all for you, David pen Burbe and will Goodies five double.
00:47:50
Speaker 4: A breakfast twenty two minutes alfter seven. This is some good news. I think hopefully it works. Fingers and toes and everything across for people especially over on York Peninsula. The Essay Pound Networks are investing ten million dollars to address insulate a pollution which, as we've been repeatedly told, this is part of the problem, these remote insulators that get dust and stuff all over them. Ten thousand will be replaced across thirty three power lines. The majority of them are on York Peninsula, but Air Peninsula, in the southeast, Limestone Coast, Murrayland's Ki. They're doing work everywhere. Celia Schultz from Say Power Networks joins us Celia, good morning to you. How confident are you, guys that this is going to fix this problem, especially for the part off people over on York who have copped at a fair bit. Yeah.
00:48:39
Speaker 20: Look, I mean we are cautiously confident. We've had a group of very dedicated and very smart people, you know, interrogating every plausible scenario and you know, investigating things in forensic details. So we've spent a lot of time doing that work since we came out of the operational response in summer, and it's something we've planned and very carefully. So we are quietly confident that it will considerably improve reliability to those impacted regions.
00:49:07
Speaker 6: So secily, just for the benefit of listeners who weren't across this story when it was happening, and also for the benefit of people like me who never really understand how mechanical things work.
00:49:15
Speaker 4: What was the problem.
00:49:17
Speaker 20: The problem was that insulator pollution, which is largely kind of a climate driven system wide reliability issue. It's when prolonged dry conditions, when there's a lot of dust, salt, particularly in coastal areas, and other contaminants settle on insulators, which are equipment on our network, and in the absence of washing rains, when you combine that with just a light moisture like sea spray, et cetera, or even light rain, they become it kind of creates this conductive path and basically electricity jumps from in places that it's not supposed to. And so these repeated events that we call flashovers of actually what we've found is they've caused the insulators to deteriorate and compound the problem. So it's just got worse and worse over the last two summers.
00:50:08
Speaker 6: So do they need like a good cashering or something like that.
00:50:11
Speaker 4: What's the plan?
00:50:13
Speaker 20: Well, the plan is, I think, as you mentioned, it's essentially ten thousand of the worst impacted insulators across thirty three lines, and most of those lines are sub transmission lines, so they are lines which are carrying high voltage electricity to which feeds off to a lot of customers. A lot of the insulators on there are getting replaced with a silicon insulator or a new standard as kind of porcelain insulator, but we're also going to be doing silicon coating by helicopter. Now, basically there are about two thousand of these insulators in that group which they're set for a replacement as part of a broader network rebuild in the next decade or so. So what this silicon coding lets us do is, without turning off the power, we can spray them with this coding. It prolongs their performance for about three to five years until we get to that full replacement. We're also installing fifteen what we call high voltage smart automation switches. What they basically do is they isolate problems to a more confined area, and essentially, if you have problems, it limits the number of customers impacted.
00:51:22
Speaker 4: At the whole York Pinsula for example. So I guess importantly when who gets there, their ensulad is replaced first, Cecilia, And when will all the works be done by do you expect?
00:51:33
Speaker 20: Yeah, so we are already in full scale workforce to mobilization planning. I want to mention that this work is about twenty five thousand hours of work. That's the equivalent of about fifty crews rotating on and off for six months. So we will finish that workforce planning by the end of June and we'll begin works in July. We plan to have that complete before summer so that customers can go into summer with assurance that they're going to get a far better experience.
00:51:58
Speaker 4: Good stuff. Those is a good new story. Thank you for joining us.
00:52:01
Speaker 6: Cecilia Schutz, the manager of External Affairs for SA Power Networks.
00:52:07
Speaker 4: About this text we got through from Molly. Do you see that from Wich's Barossa egg noodles? She says, we still use our noodle cutting machine. It's called Gerty. Gerty was brought over from Germany in nineteen fifty nine. She's sixty seven years old. Gentleman engineering. That's it. The Collins was based on a Swedish I think they make it's stuff to last as well, so the right part of the world appreciate that, Molly. That's a nice little bit of history about which is Gerty the noodle cutting machine still going since nineteen fifty nine. There'd be a lot of people.
00:52:40
Speaker 6: We have listeners who have made their own olive oil. There used to be an olive oil press in Thebton that actually had a donkey with the stone and you could take your olives there and the donkey would walk around in a circle and the stone would crush up the olives and then they'd put them into these wicker mats it can throw them down. That's absolutely medieval and it's one of the best ways to make olliball.
00:53:01
Speaker 4: It's nice looking back at things and we will continue to do so with Sean Fuster on the other side of the break as we go round the courts, because it's been two decades since we've been legally able to publish the face of James Lasakas.

00:53:40
Speaker 4: Before eight o'clock this morning. You know all the high profile, high powered guests coming in with the police commissioner as well. After eight point thirty today he will immediately follow our World Cup of South Australia that's coming up just after eight twenty. Let's go around the courts now though, with Sean fuster on. What is a story that's in a quarter of a century in the making.
00:54:02
Speaker 5: It's time to go around the courts where Sean fuseda on five double A breakfast.
00:54:11
Speaker 4: James Losarkis is a bodies in the barrel murderer. But whilst you've heard his name spoken about a lot, you haven't seen a picture of him until today because for twenty six years it's been illegal to publish his picture. Sean, that all changed yesterday when you were in court. Take us back though to why his image was originally suppressed and what it required to get it changed in court yesterday.
00:54:35
Speaker 13: Good morning, boys. Look, it's one of those very weird, very South Australian situations where something starts off with the right intentions and then takes a life of its own and just becomes a stain that never gets wiped away. When Vasarkus and his fellow killers John Justin Bunting, Robert Joe Wagner and their accomplice Mark Ray Hayden, we're all arrested in the late nineteen nineties, very quickly it became apparent that Lasarkus was prepared to plead guilty to the four murders that he committed, and that he was prepared to give evidence against the others. And as we all know, even if we just watch television, when you're prepared to give evidence against the rest of your criminal conspirators, you're likely under threat. You need to be protected. And so the Supreme Court made the then very wise and then very necessary decision to suppress Lolasarcus's image, not his name, so that he could be reported in terms of what he'd done and be held publicly accountable for what he'd done, but also be reported in terms of the evidence that he would be giving against the other three, but with his identity shielded. It meant that he could live in the prison population with no one knowing what he looked like. He could move from place to place within the correctional services system without being under threat, either from members of the public who were agrieved with what he did or prisoners who would call him, you know, like as they say, a dog, for dogging on them.
00:56:00
Speaker 17: The rest of the crew.
00:56:01
Speaker 13: That suppression order was meant to be reviewed once the case concluded, and that never happened. And then as the years rolled on, any time someone in the media, a filmmaker, a documentary crew, be they from Australia, be they from overseas, raised iron said hey, James Losarkus's identity is still suppressed, the courts would buckle down and say, no, no, it still needs to be there now, out of an abundance of caution. Out of an abundance of caution, a phrase that has never appeared in South Australian legislation ever, but somehow became the watchword for secrecy in courts in this state, even after two thousand and seven, when the legislation was rewritten to make it very clear that the abundance of caution is not a reason to do anything that lasarkus suppression remained.
00:56:50
Speaker 17: What changed.
00:56:52
Speaker 13: A group of media organizations yesterday decided to use Lasarkus's parole controversy as a gateway to asking the highest court in the state, the Full Court, with the Court of Criminal Appeal, to reconsider the suppression order. And I was privileged to be asked to join in on that effort as well. And so lawyers for the media and myself all made submissions before the Full Court yesterday arguing exactly what we just said, that this suppression order no longer has utility, long ago served its purpose, and that the public interest is in now in knowing what the Sarkas looks like, especially if he's about to rejoin the community. And there was a recent New South Wales decision that said anonymity is not essential for offender rehabilitation. When you put all those factors together. After twenty six years of waiting, as you said, will the court adjourned for less than five minutes before coming back and saying suppression rovote.
00:57:48
Speaker 6: Wow, it's a long time coming. So does this mean sure that when vos Arcus was inside, if the whole basis of this suppression was so that someone inside Gatler didn't pick up the paper and go.
00:57:59
Speaker 4: Oh, that's the bloke. That's the bloke who read it out.
00:58:01
Speaker 6: Bunting and Wagner and Hayden and end up having some sort of mischief visited upon him. Does that mean that he would have also used like a false name in prison as well.
00:58:12
Speaker 13: We've never had that one hundred percent confirmed, Pambo, But the rumor four years has been Lasarkus has either been held in correctional facilities within South Australia under an assumed name, or even at times in correctional facilities inter state under an assumed name. Again, no one hundred percent confirmation of that, but that has been the continued Actually, I'm going to put it higher than the rumor. It's been the understanding that members of the media have been given for many years about Lasarkas. I doubt we'll ever get that confirmed one hundred percent, but that's certainly what we've been told repeatedly.
00:58:45
Speaker 4: Over the years. So it's been a twenty six year fight over his identity. It's been a twenty six year term that he's he's served. Sean, what is the current state of play with regard to his well, he's parole he has, he's eligible for parole. But with that regard to them, that fight, which has of course been contested by the state government, that's a.
00:59:04
Speaker 13: Knot that seems to be a little nonsensical in some ways, regardless of what happens in this current fight, where the government says the Parole Board didn't addequately consider the gravity of Lasarkas's offending, pointing to the fact that in their report they wrote, in their words, half a sentence about the gravity of his offending and many many sentences about mitigatory factors like Bunting's influence over him, his vulnerability, his suggestibility, etc. Regardless of what happens there, and even if the full court says no, the Parole Board, sorry, the Parole Review Commissioner and the government were right to intervene. Losarkas can apply for parole again on August five this year, and August five next year, and August five the year after, and so on and so forth, until he either gets it or he dies in prison. So we're going to do this, regardless of what happens in this situation, again and again and again until he eventually gets out, which means it is inevitable that at some stage in the next decade, South Australia will become the first place in the world to parole a serial killer.
01:00:09
Speaker 6: It's a totally remarkable set of circumstances and I just I still struggle with the fact that we're even talking about this happening. I know, well, maybe I don't know, I because my view of this has probably been clouded by popular culture Shawn from watching movies like Snawtown, which I think was an absolutely terrific movie. But maybe the portrayal of las Arcus, and you know this better than anyone, maybe that errs too much on the side of generosity.
01:00:36
Speaker 4: Well, a lot of.
01:00:36
Speaker 13: People do think that way. You're not alone, And that was the suggestion in slightly veiled not quite veiled suggestion in the government submissions yesterday, that the crimes have been sheeted home so strongly to Bunting and also to Wagner, who was the strong man in the whole thing that people like Hayden and people like Plasarkus have seen on the second tier down. But to your point, Lasarkus killed four people. Yes, yet he admitted to killing four people and gave evidence against and as someone said on my social media recently, a deal is a deal. The government promised him parole, but as the Full Court said yesterday, a promise of parole isn't a guarantee of parole. You don't get told you'll serve a minimum of twenty six years and then.
01:01:19
Speaker 12: You will get parole.
01:01:21
Speaker 13: You get told you'll serve a minimum of twenty six years and then you may apply for parole, doesn't mean they're going to open the jail door that day. So you know, Channel nine played footage last night of Lasarkus telling someone I had my cell law packed up ready to go. Well, sorry, mate, that's not how it works. You have to satisfy the criteria first.
01:01:38
Speaker 6: Sorry about the inconvenience, Karachy. Remarkable story, Sean. And you know, on a sort of public interest basis, good good on you in the paper for continuing to fight. Because if the public doesn't never write to know about this sort of stuff, i'd know what has the right.
01:01:54
Speaker 4: To know about.
01:01:54
Speaker 6: You know, these Paul victims being plucked out of society, most of them under terribly well to Shawn's flourished circumstances.
01:02:03
Speaker 4: Shawn's last point, we will become the first place on planet Earth where a serial killer has been paroled. You can't do that. Coupled with the fact that their identity is totally hidden. Yeah, that's affording the community no respect whatsoever. Sewan, remarkable report. Thank you if people can read about it more in depth in the Advertiser this morning. Sean fused to the Chief Court reporter at the Tizer.

01:03:04
Speaker 15: We've got a two day Regional Board media in the Bross the next two days meeting meeting small business operators there which will be fascinating to get their feedback on all of these tax changes in the budget, which.
01:03:19
Speaker 4: Is what do you reckon? The feedback business.
01:03:22
Speaker 15: Owners look and the feedback on getting at the moment is small business owners are sick of being panned to by businesses because there are so many small business owners, but then almost categorize as tax cheats for the way you structure your business and if you sell a business. And I trusts aren't about avoiding tax for most small business owners. Yes, the big pipe flyers used to trust and stuff like that, but it's all about your succession planning, you know, bringing kids into the bus, so you don't trigger stamp duties to sell a business to your kids to take some capital gain out of it. So the changes to the trusts and capital gains tax rules, honestly, you would be better just investing in property or going and working for somebody else. So, you know, starting a business, you know, if you've got a great idea and we're meant to be an innovation nation, we want to improve productivity and things, and you start a business from scratch, it's basically not worth it. If you're fortunate enough to sell it. Only ten percent of businesses actually sell.
01:04:39
Speaker 4: You wear all the risk and the government reaps half the reward. Exactly right.
01:04:43
Speaker 15: We go through the cash flow problems, we go through collecting tax for them collecting the GST, doing all their admin. Oh, that's all right, we'll just pass it down to small business, single touch payroll, super all.
01:04:57
Speaker 4: That sort of stuff.
01:04:59
Speaker 15: They shovered all on to us, and it means for a lot of small business owners you miss out on seeing your kids play netball of footy because you're doing the books.
01:05:08
Speaker 16: Over the weekend.
01:05:09
Speaker 15: Because during the week you want you want to produce sales and you're working in the business.
01:05:14
Speaker 6: Because we had the Prime Minister on the show the day after the budget and it was quite funny because Will and I we never have a structured approach to our interviews, but it ended up and shocks me not really talking about there, but it was like a fifty to fifty split where I did the politics of it and Well did the policy of it because we'll know it will stay up at night reading budget paper number four. We're on more what's the vibe of this? And it ended up being split into it. The interview was two hards. First half was trust, the second half was impact. So the trust part all of those hand on heart promises none of this is going to happen. We'll really getting into the weeds about the CGT, negative gearing, all that sort of stuff. Don't you reckon the one bit where the politics and the policy meet up and become a genuine nightmare for Albo is the testamentary trust stuff, the death tax by default stuff, Yep, yep, because it have the effect of being a death tax.
01:06:17
Speaker 15: Absolutely, it's the hidden tax that goes through. Even passing on your superannuation can come with a seventeen percent death tax. Make sure everyone you've signed your designated Beneficiary form and your superannuation. Many people haven't. That creates a nightmare if you die and you've got to pass your super on. But if you're passing a super on to non dependent children like adult children, there's sort of a seventeen percent hidden death tax in there.
01:06:47
Speaker 6: People too who aren't even aware how their will is structured, like they've just contacted a law firms will, but you might not even know if you've got one of those trusts within your will.
01:06:55
Speaker 4: Exactly right.
01:06:56
Speaker 15: But it's and it's all the hidden stuff that the problem with this budget was little bits of tax. Let's plug that tax concession, let's plug that tax concession. Where's the incentive for you to work hard? If you look at the budget. The biggest source of revenue by far is personal income tax from all of us.
01:07:23
Speaker 4: They rely on us.
01:07:25
Speaker 15: That's why they don't change thresholds. That's why they don't make significant changes to tax levels. And that destroys the incentive to go and do extra over time, to work a bit longer, all that sort of stuff. Now they're sort of destroying the incentive to actually start your own business.
01:07:47
Speaker 4: As the moral imperative for the broken promises, according to the government, was intergeneration equity in the housing prices and so forth. But by attacking every investment vehicle with a sledgehammer, you made a little point Cochi before that I is so instructive. It might turn out that you might as well still invest in property, which I undermines the entire point of this whole prode in your own home, which is the only tax free utule that you have now, the.
01:08:12
Speaker 15: Only incentive doing to put money into your own home. And as someone who's doing major renovations and probably regretting the size.
01:08:19
Speaker 6: Of it at the moment, that gives me some source regret it certainly less except right, So.
01:08:26
Speaker 15: That's the issue. Big topics like why aren't you poured the GST up two percent and cut personal income tax rates by fifty percent and increase the thresholds like the American tax system or like the German tax estem and not all of those build incentive into actually earning an income. And if you tax consumption, it taxes the rich because they spend on fancy stuff.
01:08:58
Speaker 6: Well you know, home renovation, whereas if you just elsie string bag, you clean from Clemsing, ethel from Ethelton.
01:09:07
Speaker 15: You know, it does fact that you don't pay it on food. No now food, so it would change. Yeah, So that's I think for a lot of small business owners, that's the annoying thing.
01:09:19
Speaker 4: It's here we go again.
01:09:20
Speaker 15: We're being dubbed as sort of tax avoiders when all of their is just to protect what we've got, and a lot of people use trusts to actually protect you as an individual and protect your home in terms of your business.
01:09:36
Speaker 6: So you can tack the risk and get out there and make you quid, including jobs for people. Exactly right, because you're just changing tag, do you reckon? All the clubs are going to be happy with the way the tazzy stuff's progressing. I thought the Hawthorne have got a bit of a case to say they've been dealt a pretty unpleasant hand after twenty five years of doing their bit for Tasmania.
01:09:56
Speaker 4: But have you seen all that doing their bit for Tasmania. They got paid a fair bit well Tasbania. They're a major sponsor of them, that's true. Have you seen all the draft selections and everything else they're going to get.
01:10:09
Speaker 15: Now you're onto something on my But I'm happy with because the change to the draft selections, the points in the draft when Tasbania comes in means that if one of the other clubs, say your pick goes from pick one down to pick twelve because of all the draft concessions in Tasmania, that pick twelve carries the same number of points as pick one.
01:10:42
Speaker 4: So for a normal club they get no.
01:10:46
Speaker 15: Concessions in terms of the cost of draft picks. Everyone knows it's based around points. Because the tasi Onan's count for nothing, and there's a club that has two or three father sons coming next in next year's draft. It just stuffs everything up completely. But the big issue I think is just the stadium where it's at. You know, that was a major box to be tigged.
01:11:16
Speaker 6: We're going to have a club without a stadium, yeah.
01:11:19
Speaker 5: And.
01:11:21
Speaker 4: That wasn't.
01:11:23
Speaker 15: And maybe no guarantee of when that stadium will be coming. So I think that's going to be a big discussion point at the upcoming President's meeting in early June, because the Commission said any any decision on Tasmania would go back to the President's right from the very start. So in all clubs, I want Tasmania in the competition.
01:11:48
Speaker 4: I've always wanted it.
01:11:50
Speaker 15: But if you come into the competition, you've got to tick the boxers to come in, and if you don't tick the boxers, well sorry, you've just got to do it, you know.
01:12:01
Speaker 6: That's that's the Having been there once to that terrible Crows North Melbourne game were were ten goals down at Quurt a time.
01:12:08
Speaker 4: I think a lot of.
01:12:08
Speaker 6: People you fly down there once to get hypothermia once is enough a stadium without a roof.
01:12:17
Speaker 4: Game.
01:12:17
Speaker 15: But that's to keep the standard for AFL fans around the country. There's been a big push by the AFLO the last fifteen or twenty years to improve the stadium experience where the premier sport. To actually play in the premier sport, you've got to have a ground, a stadium that lives up to that standard, and that was one of the important boxes to tick.
01:12:40
Speaker 6: That's mainly great Avenue and Dave, we'll catch up again to join the brassa.

Will find out very very shortly when the envelopes are brought into the studio and that's up to you to determine what goes through to the next round. Then after eight thirty the Police Commissioner Grant Stevens will join us live in the studio. Just want to read out this one text quickly. They had a bit of a crack at at our chat with David Kosher a moment ago about the federal budget, Mike says, you guys need to pull your heads out of the you know where. Seventy percent of your listeners haven't even heard of a family trust. Ninety five percent of them haven't got one because they're not wealthy enough for it to be of value. We had that chat, and the discussion about trust was exclusively spoken about the context of small businesses.
01:14:02
Speaker 6: We're not talking about people have got two million dollars worth of BHP shares, like the former Industry Ministry and the how Government John Moore, who when confronted about it, said they're in his wife's name and said, mister speaker, my wife doesn't tell me everything. We're talking about people. I've going to mate who runs a very small building company. He builds three houses a year three three one two three's that's the some toital of his annual output of homes, doing his bit to increase housing stuck. Now he set up a trust to protect his own family homes. Yeah, so many people in small business use trust, because we'd have a lot of small traders that have a trust. People who are plumbers, stokes, those percentages are probably right.
01:14:45
Speaker 4: But here's the thing. I remember a conversation I had it at the time. I don't know a down think about a family trust, but speaking to someone at the start of this year who was in a two person business that they want to expand and in the process part of that process, they set off the cauf Oh, I have to set up a family trust because over the course of the year and I hire three people. Now, I bet the three people they're hiring in the building industry as well don't have family trusts. And this is where it's important, because it does It's not nu It's not about the numbers of people that have it or know what we're talking about. It's the fact that the people that do other people that hire people, the people that run businesses exactly.
01:15:19
Speaker 6: So it's not some sort of as a class or bs whoever send that text in I'd love to hear from our listeners who have a very modest small business who are using a trust to organize their affairs, because you know, these people are not gena Ryan Hart. And this is the stupidity of the politics.
01:15:38
Speaker 4: Of all of this.
01:15:39
Speaker 6: It's simply appalling, pitting people against each other. When all they are doing is accessing long standing, wholly defensible arrangements in order to make the most modest of quids with none of the annual leave, none of the backups that you get when you're working in the public service or work looking at a company like Nova where we get all our leave entitlement. Yeah, work in a small business you get none of that none. So the you know, if you have to use a system like that, you do not deserve to be pillory as if you are exon no polluting the waterways.
01:16:22
Speaker 4: Go on here. Now, let's spin the wheel show because we've got a caroll A smart watch to give away Carolte Emergency Watch.

If that's your birth year, call in right now and we will give you this wonderful product from care Alert, the care Alert smart watch.
01:17:12
Speaker 6: Well, there's a surprise announcement yesterday from the Federal Health Minister, Mark Butler. The government has been working on all of the dramas and we've chronicled them well, particularly in this segment over the years with Rebecca Sharky, with these My Age Care packages. Now, the government had said that by July it was going to bring in price caps on services that are provided. This can be things like gardening or showering, people cleaning, all sorts of different services that are provided to elderly Australians. Well, the government has now announced that it has indefinitely deferred those caps. To get a sense of why they're doing that and what it will mean for those of you who are reliant on these My Age Care packages, we've got the CEO of Australia, Patricia Sparrow, the Peak body advocating for older Australians on the line.
01:18:06
Speaker 4: Patricia, good morning, Good morning. What's your reading of why.
01:18:10
Speaker 6: The government has done this and what sort of impact do you think it will have on older people?
01:18:16
Speaker 3: Well, look, I mean my understanding is they've deferred it, not indefinitely, and we certainly want to see action on this in the next year. But the decision yesterday is based on the fact that there are concerns about constructing price caps now that would include some short term or one off costs that might artificially push prices up, and we were concerned about that. But what we've been advocating for in the interim is that there should be stronger pricing protections that are going to help older people while a really well constructed price cap is developed that doesn't baking costs that shouldn't be there.
01:18:53
Speaker 6: This whole system has really been a share mizzle. The number of people who are still waiting to get into these power packages. Do you think that the government has done enough to really get on top of that waiting list?
01:19:05
Speaker 3: Look, I think what the numbers showing and there are people who are hundreds of thousands of people waiting to either be assessed or to get a package, and they're going to wait for up to a year, so that there's not enough investment in the home care packages for older people, which is what older people want most. They want to stay at home and be supported. Government has been increasing the number of packages, but we don't think it's enough. Government's also introducing a target that people will be assessed within ninety days, and while that will be a vast improvement on or have a package within ninety days. While that would be a vast improvement on people waiting for a year, we still think that needs to be brought down to thirty days. Older people don't put the handoff for support until they really need it, and so then if you're waiting for three months, or as is the case now, you're waiting for a year, it's really not enough to support people.
01:19:54
Speaker 6: We've done stories about people who actually died while they were waiting to be assessed, Others who were assessed and they were told, yeah, you're going to get a Level four care package, but then it just never arrived. There seems to be so many pressure points on it.
01:20:09
Speaker 3: It's shocking, isn't it, And that shouldn't be the case we also known for another person who's living on their own. You know, the stress of trying to manage and keep themselves well means that sometimes people end up in hospital or end up going into residential care when the support that they could have got at home might.
01:20:26
Speaker 11: Have stopped that.
01:20:26
Speaker 3: And we hear stories of careers who sometimes have to give up their job to be able to care for their loved ones. So all round it's not where it needs to be and there needs to be much more done to have more packages in place and people to get them more quickly.
01:20:40
Speaker 6: Patricia Sparrow, thank you so much for that. The CEO of Coda Australia. Some great texts coming through on trusts at the moment. I just want to read out a sampling of those. So since we've had that conversation with David Kosh, small business owner here earning less than turnerd Ka, we've got a family trust to protect ourselves.
01:21:00
Speaker 4: Spot on. There are a lot of small business cafe owners with trust to protect their home if things go the wrong ways. As another text, James says, I've got a small business and use a family trust. I'm far from wealthy. Call that doesn't know what they're talking about. This person says, I have a family trust and a gardening business, three employees, works seventy hours a week, and when I check my bank account this morning, it said I'm not rich. Thank you for that to there's in fact, there's more coming through even as we speak.
01:21:27
Speaker 6: David in Portlincoln says, guys, FI, most farmers have trusts so they can hand their farms onto the family.
01:21:33
Speaker 4: You know, where's the crime in there? Yeah? One here.
01:21:38
Speaker 6: We use a family trust for our small business, which we were advised to set up when we bought it seventeen years ago to protect our house, which we borrowed against. One hundred percent of trust profits are distributed to the two people who work in our business. Then they pay tax according to the normal tax schedule. Why should they be tax more than a pay as you earn taxpayer. Not to mention, there is no super or leaving titlements plus a sizeable debt we're getting.
01:22:05
Speaker 4: As you were reading, you paused for a moment because three more stories came in about people using trusts that aren't exactly Gena Reinhardt.
01:22:11
Speaker 6: Yeah, like this is we shouldn't get sucked into this class. Well rubbish, like it's just it's just not the way our country should operate. And you know, I think one of the really nice things about Australia unlike the UK, like we are culturally indebted to the UK in a lot of ways, but we do not have the stultifying class system where England, you know, oh, we're working class and we're lower lower middle class and we've all been well you carry on like that. In Australian people go, what are you doing here? That's not the Australian way, So like any attempts to inject that into our political discourse should be totally rejected.
01:22:55
Speaker 4: Eighten minutes after it, we're going to check traffic in just about we're on the lookout for someone born in nineteen thirty eight. The wheels spout up number thirteen, which I don't think it's done before looking for someone who's either eighty eight or turning eighty eight this year will give you the wonderful care Alert smart watch.

01:24:16
Speaker 4: So take take us back to your childhood, John. Were you born here in Adelaide, not born in England? Born in England? How old were you when you came out?
01:24:27
Speaker 3: I was I think about twenty seven?
01:24:29
Speaker 11: First tar came out twice, okay?
01:24:33
Speaker 4: And what was it that made you decide to settle here in Australia. That's nice.
01:24:38
Speaker 3: So here, it's quite good, a nice place to live.
01:24:43
Speaker 4: And which part of the UK did you did you grow up in? John?
01:24:48
Speaker 11: Second?
01:24:49
Speaker 9: I can't hear you.
01:24:49
Speaker 11: Very welcome that's pretty easy.
01:24:51
Speaker 10: Instant minute easy.
01:24:56
Speaker 20: It's pretty old, so it's a bit deaf.
01:24:58
Speaker 4: No, he's sounding fantastic. Sound you're sounding good, John. You know what, John, don'ts stress. We've got a Carolt smart Watch coming your way. Mate. You're going to love that product. You're great to have you here in Australia and delighted to get to chat with you this morning. John born in nineteen thirty eight, who was the first caller through number thirteen, having been spun up for the Carolurt smart Watch five double A's World Cup of Essay. So we go round the grounds now for the World Cup of South Australia. Some of the earlier results goes is the first time you've tuned in. Frog Cake was defeated by Cooper's Palou and the food component of the bracket in the places section. Yesterday the Brossa Valley knocked off Victor Harbor. Today it's people first to three calls goes through to the next round. If at any time you want to see how things are progressing on the World Cup of SA bracket and some of the enticing matchups ahead, go to our social media and we will update it each day. Today it's people. I've got one. I've got a bad room. This is going to be really hard today. Have you got your envelope?
01:26:04
Speaker 5: There?
01:26:04
Speaker 4: I have, I have crack it open. Who have you got in the people section of the bracket? The tension as indeed does Derek? You have opened an envelope before, haven't. There you go? He's in the building too. What I've got Grant Stevens? Where? Well? This is this might be a past and future governor of because I've got Francis Adamson. How do you pick between these two? This is like when Germany and France play in the group. Start you sort of thing, Hang on, how is this possible? This is tough. Who do you want to go first? You want me to go first? Ah, I'll go first.
01:26:49
Speaker 6: Well, I think that for governing the state with the lightest of hands during COVID, I think a lot of people came to know and respect Grant Stevens as a very level headed commissioner at a time when other states came to resemble North Korea. One of my favorite moments during COVIDS was when they had to mergency meeting to see if if the wineries could trade his bottle shops. I thought that was a nice example of a bit of level headedness. He does lose a point, though, for presiding over a police force which will willingly find people forgetting to register their cars.
01:27:24
Speaker 4: For him.
01:27:27
Speaker 6: I just think, you know, around sort of goes good bloke and he's led personally through, you know, the toughest of circumstances. But you use the loss of his son to raise attention about the need for us to all think better and harder on the roads as a you know, there's a harrowing thing that affected everybody in the state.
01:27:53
Speaker 4: Absolutely funny kind of a way. Sometimes this is adversarial, and I think today this is just about talking about two great people.
01:27:59
Speaker 6: One of the best, because Francis Adamson, former Defense secretary for fell Well, our thirty six governor, and I think one of the governors of which we will be have the fondest memories having personally met her.
01:28:12
Speaker 4: I don't think there's a combination of people with a greater sense of personal grace, intelligence, humor and approachability than Francis Adamson, just a wonderful human being who we shall not forget. Is the patron saint of our UNDI drive each and every year officially opens. It lends her time and her regal credibility to our little fundraiser here, one of a number of things she does, supporting South Australian charities and promoting this fine state about which she's passionate and one of our great exports. We love both these people, So vote away, folks. Eight double two three double o double oh is the number who makes it through to the next fixture in the World Cup of South Australia. Ratt, good morning, morning, he got hey.
01:28:57
Speaker 15: I think Grant Stephens hands down, mate, the amount of different topics that you could raise with him, I think very good at Australian.
01:29:07
Speaker 4: All right, Constable Rett, Thank you, Sue and south Cliff.
01:29:10
Speaker 7: And good morning, good morning.
01:29:13
Speaker 4: I think they're both wonderful.
01:29:15
Speaker 3: But Francis Adamson has been a wonderful patron of legacy.
01:29:19
Speaker 8: She knows my boys by name.
01:29:22
Speaker 3: If she sees them in the street, she speaks to them.
01:29:25
Speaker 11: It's just wonderful.
01:29:26
Speaker 4: Absolutely, thank you, Sue Raymond, good morning.
01:29:29
Speaker 7: Good morning, fellows, Good morning listeners. How are we all this morning?
01:29:33
Speaker 4: Good to hear. Despite his shortcomings as being involved with the wrong football club for the State mission, Stevens. All right, two for Grant Stephens, one for Francis Adams, and so the commissioner is one call away eight double two to three double double. We need two more for Francis Adams and to progress in the people section of the bracket where there's some real tantalizing matchups ahead. But Grant Stevens at the moment in the box seat, we need one more call for him, or two calls for Francis Adamson eight double two to three double o double, and then who knows, maybe ultimately we'll be arguing about the police commission upgainst double cut roll when the brackets overlap, Kat, good morning, who you casting a vote for?
01:30:16
Speaker 17: Ah?
01:30:16
Speaker 19: You?
01:30:16
Speaker 3: Grant Stephens.
01:30:19
Speaker 4: Threw the commissioners here. It kind of been really awkward. He was he texting people in the force during that his hand was in his pocket. A lah. The departed with Matt Damon just secretly texting.
01:30:33
Speaker 6: I think when that that number for the last caller came up, I think it was the same number they used for the police assistance only.
01:30:41
Speaker 4: No, both wonderful, wonderful South Australian People. Grant Stevens progresses now into the next round. Along with the Barossa Valley and the Cooper's Parlor, which actually all three things sound combined, sounds like a fun afternoon five double A news time. The Commission will join us.
01:30:59
Speaker 2: Next knockdown Build two with metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment Metro homes.
01:31:09
Speaker 10: Do they do it all for you?
01:31:11
Speaker 5: Deevid pen Berthey and Will Goodings five double A Breakfast.
01:31:16
Speaker 4: No day tonight. If you're watching on the Facebook and YouTube live stream, you'll see we've been joined in the studio by the Police Commissioner Grant Stevens, fresh off his triumphant term as a contestant in the five Double A Breakfast World Cup of South Australia. Post match victory press conference Commissioner, first time we've done this because we couldn't interview a Cooper's parallel on Monday. So but how do you feel? You feel good? Confident about going all the way.
01:31:40
Speaker 16: Trying to remain humble. Yeah, it would take it one step at a time. But I do want to call out that you acknowledge our governor's sort of support of the UNDI drive and the person advocating on my behalf completely forgot about the fact that I embarrassed myself by playing the tambourine and singing alongside him for the UNDI drive, one of my low points. So and I want to thank my mum for ringing into three times.
01:32:09
Speaker 4: So now you wait, you'll be facing off against the winner of Maggie Beer and so an astronaut and one of the most beloved cooks in this country. And but you bring it on.
01:32:20
Speaker 16: Oh look, you know, I think it's been great to get to this this far in the competition and I wish them both the very best.
01:32:27
Speaker 4: Run a football club.
01:32:28
Speaker 6: To postgame reports, try not to get say nothing that's reportable, exactly right.
01:32:39
Speaker 4: We had an interesting exchange with it was Madison Stanley from seven News yesterday someone was arrested and charged with it was a form of illegal fire, but the turn of phrase police were using was a pen game. And when what's a pen gun? And then, funnily enough, later in the day, you guys released this tranche of of images about all these I guess they called improvised weapons. They're not. Yeah, yeah, they've made up.
01:33:03
Speaker 16: They're made invariably made at home or in a workshop somewhere. You're generally using a lathe to create them. Most pen guns, you know, in some respects, can look a lot like a pen. They're the same shape, sometimes a bit thicker. They are a homemade device. They are highly unreliable. They usually only sort of carry like a twenty two bullet, so the potential is right or no, yeah, one bullet at the time, so you have to put the bullet in and has like a spring loaded device that you pull back and it discharges the weapon. Yeah, highly unpredictable, dangerous. The penalty for having one in your possession can be fifteen years imprisonment. So we take it seriously. And yeah, it's just it beggars belief that people would carry these things or make them. But yeah, you know, I think we're still investigating yesterday's incident.
01:33:56
Speaker 6: Because it sounds like the blike shot himself place.
01:33:58
Speaker 16: Yeah, well you know, what are you expect?
01:34:00
Speaker 4: You know, hence the unreliability that you talk about. Exactly right.
01:34:04
Speaker 16: So, and we have more legislation now to deal with this emerging challenge for US around three D manufactured weapons, and that legislation is highly effective for US being able to prevent people from accessing blueprints for these weapons and producing them and the penalties for producing a three D weapon are also very significant.
01:34:25
Speaker 6: Commission in Melbourne seems to be the sort of worst case scenario crime wise when it comes to almost every category of crime. There's been a lot of reporting out of Victoria about the similar extortion methods being used by these crime gangs, with illegal cigarettes now spilling over into a legal grog and some of the apparently really dangerous I found stuff with ethanol in it and so forth. Is there any evidence that that is happening in.
01:34:48
Speaker 16: South Australia Anecdotally speaking to people from the hotels industry that they have information about people who are distributing dodgy alcohol through normal retail outlets, so it's something people have to be aware of. I suppose there are two categories of purchases here, those who are deliberately going out looking for a cheaper sort of knockoff product, and those who are being duped into buying things that are being sold as the real deal but are not the real deal. So probably the most the easiest way for people to be sort of duped is if you're purchasing spirits in a licensed premises that has decided to do the wrong thing and vodka or gin mixed with a mixer is almost impossible to tell. But it's a high risk then, So it.
01:35:37
Speaker 6: Could be some places like all the stories we hear, the most dramatic example obviously the poor girls. Yes in low it could just be unscrupulous retailers.
01:35:48
Speaker 16: And could I would stand and say that they would be the distinct minority in the industry.
01:35:55
Speaker 4: Yeah. Sure.
01:35:56
Speaker 16: The Hotels Association and all of its members do a pretty good job of maintaining safe standards in their environments. But that doesn't mean that you're going to have some rebels out there that are doing the wrong thing. And that's the easiest way to get rid of dodgy alcohol increase your profit margin.
01:36:09
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, when you said anecdotally, have you got any anecdotal evidence though, of standover tactics where reputable businesses have been told listen, you'd better start stocking this or else.
01:36:19
Speaker 16: Not at this point in time, right, not here in South Australia. We haven't heard of that at this point. But you know, we know what organized crime is like. You know, if there's a commodity or a market they can exploit, then they're looking for ways to get in.
01:36:30
Speaker 6: Is your intel from across the border telling you that this is potentially illegal tobacco mark too.
01:36:37
Speaker 16: Well, that's a really good point.
01:36:39
Speaker 4: Will.
01:36:40
Speaker 16: The trends we saw around illegal tobacco started in Victoria specifically well before it came to Adelaide, and in some respects that gave us the opportunity to be more proactive and get on top of it. Like we had a series of arsons, and it didn't take us too long before we set up Operation Eclipse, which is a dedicated task force targeting the organized crime involvement in the elicit tobacco trade. So the police are not responsible for regulating the tobacco industry, but we certainly have a responsibility and a very proactive role in targeting people who are committing serious crimes to facilitate the sale of elicit tobacco or to manage that market.
01:37:21
Speaker 6: Do you have a view about whether the policy has worked in terms of excise or is that drifting too much into the world of political commentary.
01:37:30
Speaker 16: I think I'll stick stick in my lane, which is about how we manage the investigation deterring people from committing serious crimes to exploit the illicit tobacco market. The market I don't think there's any secret that this ilicit market has popped up because of the excise on tobacco and people choosing a cheap alternative.
01:37:53
Speaker 4: Have you had any concerns about the conduct of protesters, specifically around the North Adelaide golf call.
01:37:59
Speaker 16: Some of the state if we've seen around the North Adelaide golf course is pretty disappointing, like people sort of getting into the premises and being arrested for being unlawfully on premises. The majority of people who are protesting there are acting within their rights to protest and assemble, and you know, as everyone does respect the person's right to voice their opinion, but when they sort of cross that line and start committing offenses, that's disappointing. Eight people who arrested last Friday as a result of that protest activity, I think four of those were for being unlawfully on premises. And then we've got the protest activity at the convention Center where we've seen the protest organizers liaising with police, explaining their actions and conducting themselves in a way that doesn't cause any significant disruption to the average person in and about the area, which is I think really pleasing to see. Yeah, once again, respect their right to voice their views, highlight their core. But we are really pleased, I suppose that they've chosen to do it in a way that doesn't cause massive disruption through the sea.
01:39:07
Speaker 4: And they've been everywhere.
01:39:11
Speaker 6: The bottle dangling off a bridge this time, well, no bums equity to the bitumen.
01:39:15
Speaker 16: That that incident where we had the woman hanging from the Morfort Street bridge, that the disruption through the CBD that day was beyond belief. And when you think about people trying to get to the r H, people trying to get into the city for work, medical appointments that have been booked for months that you know you miss, it's it's not a it's one thing to protest, but it's it's another thing, I think, to massively disrupt the average person who wants to go about their their business and you know, fulfill obligations that they may have had in train for months, all requiring elective surgery at the r H. You know, you miss that window and you're back at the bottom of the list. That's that's unfair, totally.
01:39:58
Speaker 6: Commissioner Grant Stevens always how do you we'll catch up against something good to see how.
01:40:01
Speaker 4: You're doing a post match press conference next week when you're up against Maggie Beer or Captain Benell.
01:40:06
Speaker 16: Might be reflecting on how I sort of perform so woefully.
01:40:09
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're picking up at pieces. Yeah, well we wanted to rebuild.
01:40:12
Speaker 16: It's a rebuild.
01:40:16
Speaker 4: Commission to grant. Stepd's our guest.
01:40:20
Speaker 2: Knockdown, build two with metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes.
01:40:27
Speaker 19: They do it all for you.
01:40:28
Speaker 5: David been Bervie and Will Goodings five double a breakfast, six.
01:40:34
Speaker 4: Minutes to nine.
01:40:36
Speaker 6: With your blessing, Will we having funny life, imitating on your conversation. We're talking about COVID earlier and the lockdown.
01:40:44
Speaker 4: We're having our own.
01:40:45
Speaker 6: Little COVID flashback at our house at the moment. My two youngest boys have got it. My youngest had it for the last six days and now now Samo's got it. So with your blessing, Will, I'm gonna leave you can put it on the red best six minutes early and leave you to bring this baby home. You go for a company, Formulasteners.
01:41:03
Speaker 4: Look after fatherhood to ways Trump's Work's about.
01:41:07
Speaker 6: She's got to race off to a meeting so that she cannot miss. So I have to do some urgent child mining.
01:41:13
Speaker 4: Mate. You do what you need to do.
01:41:15
Speaker 6: You look after your children. Isn't it funny this time five years ago will be drawn up list of who'd been? Where had I spoken to you?
01:41:22
Speaker 16: Yeah?
01:41:22
Speaker 4: You might be in the newspaper to be sort of a graphic reimagining it. Where David had been over the weekend? The cold down? All right, good luck and godspeed. In the meantime, let's talk at regional television because there's some significant changes. Win TV has made a decision that Network ten will no longer be shown in the Riverland and Mount Gambia. South Australia is not alone. Griffith and New South Wales two will lose Channel ten and that means the digital channels two Network ten, ten Drama, ten Comedy and Nickelodeon. Trevor Loxton is the Loxton Wakery Council and joins us now man, good morning to you, Good morning will. There's been a lot going on. It's been tough to follow from the city. But all the changes would win TV? Was this a surprise to you guys? And and what does it mean?
01:42:12
Speaker 21: Look, it's Trevor Norton will from from Loxton waker there, So I'll let you off that one.
01:42:17
Speaker 4: Hey, what did I say?
01:42:18
Speaker 21: Look at Trevor Loxton.
01:42:20
Speaker 17: Sorry I can't climb that one, mate, But.
01:42:26
Speaker 21: But no, Look, it's another blow for the community and particularly a retiree who probably watched the game shows on ten and some of the other things. That probably won't get as much pushback as we did when Channel seven did it because that had the crows and power attached to it, yep, and probably engaged the whole community. But look, I think it's it's another The bigger picture thing is that it's basically saying that the regions don't matter to some of these places, and the gap between between the cities and the regions becomes even larger. So I think that's the more the more. The big picture issue for us.
01:43:02
Speaker 4: Was the concern exactly about what it means for the future of those freeware transmissions. I see that in all the correspondents the suggestion is we can still watch things via the app and online. How realistic is that for your constituents with regard to the quality of the Internet that they have access to.
01:43:17
Speaker 21: Well, that's once again the inequities between some of the regions. Is it's almost impossible for some of our people around the district and across our district because I think we're the second biggest council in South Australia for area, so we've got a big, big area. And even in our towns, even in Loxton, you know, you can go one hundred meters wrong side of a tower and not have any signal, so it's a it's a big deal for most of our residence.
01:43:42
Speaker 4: Trevor, thank you the Loxton Wakery Council, Mayor Trevor Norton on those changes of what they might say about the future freeware broadcast in our regions. And again you cop it from both sides, the free tow wear gets dropped and the alternatives to use the internet service that doesn't work in the regions. We'll keep it on that story because that is concerning if that demonstrates more than just a nice slate an event and a trajectory for freeomwaar services. Let's have a look at the fuel situation before we wrap things up this morning on five double a Breakfast. We do so thanks to the wonderful people at the RAA. It's better to be a member with RAA road service. The cheapest spots. The LeRoy's Mono Para is at a dollar sixty seven point three. The United Elizabeth is a dollar sixty seven point five. Cheeck Diesel. LeRoy's Monopower as well two dollars fifteen point nine. Have a wonderful Wednesday, folks, and both of us will be back tomorrow morning. From six o'clock I was changing cruise
